View larger. Why LifeHammer The demand for high-performance automobile safety equipment is on the rise, and Innovation Distributing's LifeHammer is fast becoming standard safety equipment in vehicles all across North America. The LifeHammer cuts through safety belts and smashes car windows with a single motion, allowing trapped passengers to quickly escape. Entrapment is a real threat to motorists. Last year, AAA estimated that more than 11,000 vehicles sank in canals, lakes or other waterways, resulting in 292 deaths - almost one per day. According to statistics gathered by the National Highway Safety Council, incidents of entrapment increased by 100% between 1995 and 1998. A potential factor is the growing prevalence of power windows that can become jammed due to submersion or fire. A double-sided head to quickly shatter side windows. View larger. Quick release from safety belts when the need arises. View larger. Simple to Use In the event of a life-threatening auto entrapment emergency, time is of the essence. That's why LifeHammer is designed with simplicity in mind. LifeHammer comes complete with a mounting bracket that both holds the tool securely in place and allows it to be mounted in your car within reach of the driver (professional mounting is recommended). In the event of entrapment in your vehicle just grab hold of the head of the LifeHammer, pulling it up and away from the mounting bracket. Use the razor-sharp blade to slice through your seat belt and swing the LifeHammer towards the side window to break the glass. The effectiveness of the blade is proven as a one-time use only, while the head can be reused many times, but should be inspected after every use. German Craftsmanship and US Law Enforcement Approved The LifeHammer was originally invented in Germany in 1983 and has been endorsed by European traffic safety organizations for over 15 years.

The bicycle can trace its history back to Germany in the year 1817, when inventor Karl Drais developed a push bike - one without pedals.

Like any other invention there were actually quite a few contributors to the changing design over the years. Other inventors who contributed to the evolution of the bicycle are Scottish blacksmith Kirkpatrick MacMillan, Frenchmen Ernest Michaux and Pierre Lallement, and Englishman James Starley - whose bicycle design, with the extremely large front wheel and the extremely tiny rear wheel was called the "penny farthing." The "safety bicycle", with both wheels the same height in a "diamond frame" that is still in use today, came into use in 1885, and in 1888 rides became much more comfortable with the invention of the "pneumatic" tire by Scotsman John Boyd Dunlop.

Over One Hundred Years Later, Improvement Continues

Just over a hundred years later, the basic design of the bicycle has not changed, but improvements are nevertheless being made all the time. The "new age" materials now in use - aluminum, titanium and carbon fire - have enabled bicycles to be made just as sturdy as can be desired, but with the light weight which most people these days desire.

The diamond bicycle frame consists of a series of tubes: the main triangle which consists of the head tube, top tube, down tube and seat tube. The rear triangle consists of the seat tube, paired chain stays and seat stays.

What are bicycle frames made of? The metal they're made of is important, because a lot of factors have to be taken into account: the density of the metal will determine how heavy the bike is, the stiffness will affect the ride comfort and the control efficiency. There is always the danger of crashes so yield strength is important - how much force will permanently "deform" the metal? Also a consideration for crash-worthiness is the elongation capability of the metal. And then there's the fatigue limit and the endurance limit.

A great many bike frames are made from steel. It's got all the best qualities needed for a frame, but its major drawback is that it is very heavy.

Aluminum is very popular for use in bike frames, because of its very low weight. But the problem with aluminum is that it is very easy to bend it - and thus break it.

Titanium is rapidly becoming a popular material for bike frames. It's strong, and its light...and its very expensive. Only high-end bicycles are made with titanium.

Carbon fiber is a non-metallic material for making bicycle frames. It is light weight, resists corrosion, and can be formed into practically any shape desired. However, carbon fiber does have low impact resistance, so it's not so good for the mountain biker. And of course it's expensive also

Bicycle manufacturers are always experimenting with new materials, of course. Currently, the use of thermoplastics is being tested, as is that of magnesium.

There's great days ahead for the evolution of bicycling, so keep your helmet on and go full speed ahead!

Off Road Lights: Raising driving standards by increasing the visibility in the nasty weather conditions

If you have ever experienced driving through, snow, sleet, intense rains, deep set fogs, you better know how risky and difficult is to control your vehicle in such weather conditions. Weather change and so as the conditions for the drivers on the road like with the onslaught of winter, comes the likelihood of fog, one of the most difficult weather conditions affecting visibility on the road and make it difficult to see clearly the road ahead as well as the other drivers and pedestrians. Driving in heavy fog is like driving with a blindfold on, an extremely dangerous driving hazard in existence causing most of the road accidents every year. Driving in foggy weather is dangerous especially if you are not fully prepared to do so but if you really know the importance of your own life, you also know the importance of those off road lights and fog lights that let you hit the trail safely in the nasty weather or cover of night.

Fog lights are a must have if you want to drive in the foggy weather conditions. Even if you are a skilled and dexterous driver, it is worth to use the off road lights that by increasing the visibility for your vehicle let you view the road clearly and help you to avoid any unpleasant situation on the road. With heavy-duty casings and materials, today's off road lights help blaze a trail through the mud and mess and help you reach your destination safely without facing problems on the road.

Truck fog lights by emitting a specialized beam to cut through the fog, penetrate harsh weather, and enable you to experience a better and safer field of vision. They give you a power of safety in the most unfavorable weather conditions. Rough weather conditions call for precision driving, using and installing truck fog lights can help you be seen better by other cars, and make sure that you can see them. Being a responsible driver, you can use these lights to help light your way, and make you more aware of others. You can use fog lights if visibility is 100 meters or less.

Giving our vehicles a truly unique and spectacular driving force, fog lamps are the best means to ensure safety during foggy weather condition and however it is crucial to use them at the right time, equally important is to switch them off when visibility improves.

I have an issue on something, maybe someone can shed some light...?

My girlfriend wants to join the Air Force, and I'm already enlisted in the Navy. We want to get married someday down the road, and we both want to do 20 years. We both know the hardships that are in our way, and that is not an issue... at all. The issue is we want a family, and want to be married... but how can we do that if we're both active duty for a 20+ career? I'm planning on joining the SEAL teams after my first 4 year active duty contract... and she wants to become a nurse. I think she should just do her first enlistment contract and be a civilian and stay home with the baby... but at the same time that isn't fair to her... so I'm a little torn... anybody got some advice?
I didn't realize how selfish that sounded... asking her to discharge while I stayed in... I'm actually a little ashamed of myself now...

You are both going to have to come to the realization that you cannot logically have both. If you are in 2 separate branches you will not see each other often enough to really have a relationship... much less a marriage. Dual Military usually only works when you are in the same branch... and even then its very difficult. Bringing kids into the mix would make things even worse.

I know you say you want to make a career out of it, and that she does also...however neither of you would really know that until you have spent a few years in.

However, if she gave up going into the military to be with you.. .there is a strong possibility that she would resent you for it later down the road. It is not fair to someone to expect them to be a stay-at-home parent, and it is definitely not fair to them to expect them to give up their career goals.

You both are obviously very young, and my advice would be to figure out what you both want...even if that means you will have to part ways. There are other options for her when it comes to serving our Country though. She could use YOUR GI Bill (since she wouldn't have her own if she doesn't enlist) or use Pell Grants or other Federal Grants and go through Nursing school now and be a nurse for the hospital wherever you are stationed. There are always openings for RNs and when you deploy she would have the option of being a 'travel nurse' (she would have a contract where she would go to a hospital in dire need of nurses for a given amount of time)
