    Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Africa?

    Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Moreso than being a case of just one net, I think it was more a case of having just one colonel... willing to put on that HAZMAT suit... and go in there and fight that monkey. :D

    Panther Truck chased through several counties near Toledo, OH

    A zebra lamp, plus some Glade plug-ins, a dog sweater and some dog shampoo. Allegedly. He was hauling a load of pickles. And you know how crazy pickles can make you. He was arrested and taken to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries, and for PTSD...

    Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Yeah, for my money they're playing fast and loose with the word "rapid."

    Outbreak (1995) - IMDb It stars a White-headed Capuchin monkey captured in Zaire, Africa, despite the fact that White-headed Capuchin monkeys are only found in the jungles of Central America and the northern tip of South America.

    Hey "y'all" it's October

    It took me a while to clean the keyboard, and change my underwear because of the uncontrollable laughing, but now that I've done that, I'll just say.... Man, I do love a good irony.

    Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Africa?

    Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri The town, yes, but at the beginning of the movie they firebombed a village in Africa. The movie was only loosely based on, more like inspired by, the book.

    Sprinter glow plugs........Gotta share this.

    True. But shorted to ground is the most common way they fail, it's the most likely scenario. But, yes, if one (or more) fails shorted open, the module is left undamaged.

    100 soldiers from 101st airborne

    Not even close. That's a credo of the Marines, not the Army. The Army is beginning to alter its thinking and training to make that more of a reality, but for the last 50 years or so many people in the Army have been a technician first and riflemen second. Even with altered attitudes in training...

    Sprinter glow plugs........Gotta share this.

    Re: Sprinter glow plugs........Removal Solution! The old style module had a resistor/fuse that would blow when one of the glow plugs went bad. You'd replace the bad glow plug, and the module, and then another glow plug would go, taking the replaced module along with it. That's why people...

    Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Africa?

    Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Ebola is frightening to everybody, not just the western world. The mortality rate averages 50%, but has ranged from 25% to more than 90% in past outbreaks. It's frightening because, like all other hemorrhagic...

    It's nearly a non-stop read. Once you start, it's hard to put it down until you've finished it. Exactly. The two nurses are now, finally, at BSL-4 facilities in Atlanta and Maryland, but they should have been moved there immediately.

    Sprinter glow plugs........Gotta share this.

    Re: Sprinter glow plugs........Removal Solution! The glow plugs breaking off are almost always the result of people trying to remove them from a cold engine. One key is to get the engine hot. Get it up to operating temperature, then turn it off and let it sit for just a couple of minutes to let...

    100 soldiers from 101st airborne

    The term "civil" refers to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as differentiated by military or ecclesiastical matters. Yet infectious diseases know such discernment. Sorry to offend you, but despite the headlines and misinformed beliefs, US combat troops are not being sent to Africa to fight...

    Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Africa?

    Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri It amazes me that none of the people in these hospitals have seen the movie "Outbreak" or read the nonfiction book "The Hot Zone" on which it was based.

    Help

    Pruett than the forced dispatch, which makes the IC an employee, the real kicker is forfeiture of monies earned for failure to give proper notice. The reason that's not legally binding is because it's criminal.
