brands that provide decent protection would be perfect. How well will this equipment protect a rider in case of a crash or accident? So far I am considering boots, a helmet, pants and a jacket, but I don't know whether to go with or get something that is more like armor. Thank you very much for looking.
NB* Don't skip the caveats of potential safety hazards of disconnecting a hard-wired smoke detector. But if you insist on taking a risky route then: 1. Turn of the power at your mains (This will turn off all electrical power to your home) 2. Read the instructions to remove the cover (often these will be moulded onto the plastic base) 3. Once removed read the label details as these might provide further instructions 4. Use a screw driver to detach the wires attached to the alarm. This will disable the alarm and stop the chirping. BUT 5. You need to climb up a manhole into the roof-space and tie off/terminate these wires at their source, and not leave them lying in the roof. (Normally a qualified electrician's job) 6. You will need to do some plaster work to fill in the hole you have once the smoke detector base plate is removed from ceiling.
Just stay put and we will eventually thank you for taking yourself out of the gene pool by handing your next of kin the latest Darwin award. Get a life already! Al
From (and accurate): Harrison's only official act of consequence was to call Congress into a special session. He and Henry Clay had disagreed over the necessity of such a session, and when in March 11 Harrison's cabinet proved evenly divided, the president vetoed the idea. A few days later, however, Treasury Secretary Thomas Ewing reported to Harrison that federal funds were in such trouble that the government could not continue to operate until Congress' regularly scheduled session in December; Harrison thus relented, and on March 17 proclaimed the special session in the interests of the condition of the revenue and finance of the country. The session was scheduled to begin on May 31. That's about it. And he was sick the entire time. His successor, John Tyler, never named a new Vice President.
