Car TalkThings To Help You Avoid Car Damage In Flood And Rain by tahoe(op): 7:02pm On Sep 06, 2016
PREPARE, LEARN AND MINIMIZE YOUR LOSSES.
Here are top ten things to help you avoid damage in flood
and rain:

1. News is always available whether through the Internet,
TV or radio. Monitor the weather forecast for chance of
isolated thunderstorms, low-pressure areas and typhoons.
Doing so will give you the lead time that you need in
preparing your course of action.

2. Protect your vehicle!

a. Familiarize yourself with the routes that you often take
so that you would be able to anticipate flooding in
those areas. Once you see that there’s heavy
downpour, don’t risk destroying your vehicle and just
stay put and do not brave the storm and heavy rain!
Make a date out of it, read a book, tuck yourself in a
warm blanket while watching your favorite show. This
just might be the break you’ve been asking from
Mother Nature.

b. If you’re already out driving in heavy rain and suddenly
you get stuck in floodwater, immediately stop and
remove the battery terminals, this will prevent an
electronic short.

c. STAY DRY! Most vehicles nowadays are designed to
have their integrated circuitry and modules located
under the carpet and alongside the front interior and
engine bay. Try your best to keep these areas dry and
free from inundation, it will make all the difference.

d. Immediately park your vehicle to higher grounds if you
hear that a storm or heavy rain is coming. Mall and
offices are always a good venue; it’s better to pay for
a parking ticket than to purchase a new car.

e. Don’t be lazy and pack emergency essentials!
Prepare an emergency bag and keep it in the back
seat of the vehicle so you would easily be able to
reach it: pack extra clothes, bring a trouble light, carry
water, light snacks and a jacket to last you through
the night just in case you get stuck.

… And since you have an emergency bag, also bring
one for your car. Always keep a TOOL BOX! Bring the
basics: #10 and #12 open wrench to be able to
remove battery terminals, a series cable in case you
need to jumpstart your car, pliers and long nose to
tighten or loosen screws. These tools will help you a
lot in time of need.


3. Get a Floody Carbag for your car! It will help protect
and save it from nasty floodwater.
Floody Carbag works like a zipper bag for your car to
protect it from the flood.
Park it then Bag it.

4. Save all important hotline numbers. being informed will help you from trouble

a. Your favorite radio station

b. Tow truck/ Roadside Assistance


5. If you are living in flood prone areas and you know
there’s a need to evacuate, do it immediately! Do not wait
until it’s too late or you might just regret it. Buy yourself
some time and keep yourself and your family safe.
Follow these kind reminders to keep you more at ease
when you vacate:

a. It is advisable to hang flat screen televisions on the
wall and mount home theater sets above or beside it.
If you have experienced flooding inside the house,
place it 1 to 2 feet higher from the highest point where
the floodwaters have reached.

b. If you have the budget, get your house renovated and
adjust the floor level higher. If, however, you’re
building a new home and you know that flood
exposure in your area is moderate to high, be cautious
and have it already elevated to avoid water getting
inside.

c. Keep battery operated radios, emergency lights and
emergency kits so that you will always be ready.
Remember, it’s better to be safe than sorry..

6.While your material possessions are important, you and
your family are even more so. Do not risk your lives in
attempting to save your properties.


7.Stay Calm & Be Alert. Panicking never helped anyone
and it may even cause you your life. Think clearly in times
of emergency so as not to cause more problems. Get out
of the distressed situation safely.


8.While it’s good that you are prepared now, you also
need to think ahead and get yourself insured. It’s always
better to be sure and safe. Get the right coverage against
catastrophes.

this one I learned from a mechanic is to disconnect your fan before entering a flooded road so your fan won't break and puncture your radiator, which can be expensive in this era of change.

[quote author=azian post=49113133]Obviously none of you has had the battery in your CSR trunk die on you yet. It happened to a friend of mine with his Mercedes C200, battery died overnight and the next morning nothing was opening, not even the door locks.
He eventually had to cut a hole through his rear seat to get to the battery in the trunk.[/quote

HealthUnderstanding Kidney Disease -- Prevention by tahoe(op): 3:13pm On Sep 05, 2016
How Can I Prevent Kidney Disease?

The key to prevention or delay of severe kidney disease is early detection and aggressive
intervention -- while there's still time to slow down the progression to kidney failure. Medical
care with early intervention can change the course of chronic kidney disease and help prevent
the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Diabetes and high blood pressure account for two thirds of all cases of chronic kidney disease.
By aggressively managing diabetes and high blood pressure with diet, exercise, and
medications , you may be able to prevent kidney failure and help keep as much kidney function
as possible.

Get Tested Regularly
At your next checkup, and at least within the next year
if you haven't had these tests done:
Ask for a urine test to see if you have excess protein, glucose, or blood in the urine .
Ask for a blood pressure reading, to see if your blood pressure is elevated.


Ask for a fasting blood glucose test, to see if you have too much glucose (sugar) in your
blood . Another blood test that can be used to determine diabetes is a hemoglobin A1C
which will indicate your average blood glucose level over the past two to three months.


Ask for a creatinine test. This blood test measures the amount of waste from muscle
activity. When the kidneys are not working properly, the creatinine rises.
If any of these tests are abnormal, your health care provider will need to do other tests to more
clearly define the problem.

control Diabetes
If you have diabetes, work with your health care provider to keep your blood sugar levels under
the best possible control. A program of diet, regular exercise, glucose monitoring, and
medications to control blood sugars and protect kidney function can help.

control High Blood Pressure
If you have high blood pressure, work with your health care provider to get your blood pressure
within target ranges. A program of diet, regular exercise, and medications can help.

consider Seeing a Nephrologist
If you've already lost some kidney function, or your health care provider tells you that you're
likely to have more kidney damage in the future, ask for a referral to a nephrologist (a kidney
disease specialist). A nephrologist can provide specialized testing, evaluate your condition, and
talk with you about possible ways to slow down the progress of kidney disease.

Car TalkWhy Do They Put Car Batteries In The Trunk? by tahoe(op): 11:20am On Sep 05, 2016
A couple reasons. With the complexity of today's car engines the engine compartment can get pretty crouded....... 1. Save space in the engine compartment.
2 it is cooler in the trunk of the car. Cooler temps can help prolong the battery life.
3. If the car is a rear wheel drive vehicle, the extra weight in the back of the car can help with traction.
4. On some vehicles they have the battery under the rear seat i.e. BMW, which does this for weight distribution purposes and helps cornering abilities.
Car TalkHow To Prevent Car Fire by tahoe(op): 10:47am On Sep 04, 2016
most all of the vehicles fires could be avoidable if we just perform proper maintenance. But time and money are not always on our side, and we often skip services intending to have them performed as soon as we can – but days turn into months and then it is easy to forget vehicle maintenance altogether…until something happens. To minimize risks for vehicle fires, have your car checked out at every oil service. Every vehicle has a maintenance service interval schedule that is recommended service by the vehicle manufacturer – and sticking to the recommendations can help to lower risks for vehicle fires in addition to a whole lot of other vehicle problems. Keep in mind though, that a lot of fuel components are impossible to see without removing items or shields to gain access to them. For a few of these parts, in some vehicle models, it can even take more than an hour of labor to get to the point where the parts are accessed. That is why if you ever have any needed repairs around these areas, it is a good idea to have them checked while the mechanic has accessed that area of your car. Also, fuel O-rings are not maintenance items, and in many cases fuel injectors are not either. But professionals know that they only last so long and become safety concerns after a certain point. O-rings usually start to show their age at around 60,000 miles
And one last thing, if your car starts to overheat, don’t push it – especially in the summer. A car engine is already at an extremely high temperature, add high outdoor temperatures plus overheating and things can happen real fast. The best thing you can do is to pull over quickly – to the nearest area you can safety pull over – and turn the car off. Then get it to a repair shop.


WHAT TP DO IF YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE So, there’s a car on fire – what to do? Don’t be a hero. Turn off the car and get out. Remember, vehicle fires erupt fast, and include a myriad of toxic fumes that can overcome you in as little as two breaths. Just get out of the car, and don’t go back in. Your purse, cell phone, wallet etc. just aren’t worth your life. What about using a fire extinguisher? Even though everyone should have a first alert auto fire extinguisher in their car, the chances of you being able to get to it in time are small and, again, not worth it. If you do not have experience fighting car fires, then don’t attempt it. Leave it to the professionals. And, if the fire is near the front of the car, or under the hood, lifting the hood is the absolute worst thing you can do because you are introducing more oxygen to the fire and you are potentially exposing yourself to extremely toxic fumes and sparks. So please, if your car ever catches on fire – just get out. Someone nearby will be able to call emergency responders. Be safe out there!
