Tips To Get Your Car Through A Cold Winter
Everyone wants to save money on car repairs, right?Make it a point to schedule into your calendar a winter booster check for your car.Keep these tips in mind for your winter travel, and you'll have a safer winter travel season all around!A gas tank which is kept filled helps keep moisture from forming. Make it a habit to go ahead and fill up when your tank is half empty.Change your oil and oil filter every 3,000 miles or so if your driving is mostly stop-and-go or consists of frequent short trips. Personally, I'd change my oil every 2000 miles, regardless. It will save you loads of trouble in the long run. Go ahead.
Schedule it into the planner.Wiper blades are one of those things we usually never think about until we need them, and they're not working! Have you ever tried driving in sleet and snow with impaired visibility, thanks to dud wipers? Talk about nerve-wracking! Go ahead and replace old wiper blades. If your climate is harsh, purchase rubber-clad (winter) blades to fight ice build-up. Stock up on windshield washer solvent. You'll be surprised how much you use. And, of course, carry an ice-scraper.
I keep one in the car, and one in the house ? just in case my doors freeze and I can't open them immediately.Make sure your heater and defroster are in good working condition.Worn tires don't help any time of year, least of all in winter weather. Examine tires for remaining tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. It's a good idea to check tire pressures once a month. Let the tires "cool down" before checking the pressure. Don't forget to rotate your tires, too!Make sure you have a spare and that the jack is in good condition.Be prepared for emergencies, even if you live in a warmer climate.
A winter emergency list should include gloves, boots, blankets, flares, a small shovel, sand or kitty litter, tire chains, a flash light, and a cell phone. Put a few "high-energy" snacks in your glove box. You can buy survival aids in the camping section of your sporting goods store.It may take you less than an hour to get your car checked for winter and prepare for any emergency. That's time well spent and it can save you a giant headache this winter season!Indeed, it could even save your life and the lives of those you love..

Salt Lake City, UT
May 13, 2004 -? ATK Motorcycles, America's only off-road motorcycle manufacturer, announces today that Jeff Stoess won a Grand National Cross Country Series Overall Race riding an ATK 450 ATV.
According to Frank White, President and CEO of ATK, "This is the first time that an American Powersports Manufacturer, either Motorcycle or ATV, has ever won the GNCC Overall".In 2003 ATK purchased the remaining inventory of Cannondale Motorsports.
Building upon Cannondale's innovative technology, ATK re-engineered motor and electrical components creating a truly reliable powerplant.
ATK's entire 2004 four-stroke product line-up is manufactured using many of these components, including the ATV ridden by Stoess. The GNCC race, held at Sparta, Kentucky, was described as a muddy abyss.
At the checkered flag, for the pro class event, less than half of the 269 starters finished the race due to breakdowns or getting stuck in the mud. ...

Jogging Stroller Safety Tips
Strollers offer a wonderful and convenient service to parents and caregivers.
The first priority in choosing a stroller should be safety.
To prevent tipping, choose a stroller that has a wide base so even when your child leans over there is no chance of the stroller tipping.
If you purchase a stroller that includes a recliner position check the stroller to make sure the stroller does not fall over backwards when the child reclines.
Remember to use the stroller seat belt at all times.
If your stroller has a basket, use that for purses and bags rather than hanging these items over the handles.
The basket on your stroller should be placed over the rear tires.
To prevent accidental folding of the stroller always use the locking device.
The brakes are used to limit the rotation of the tires when the stroller is at a complete stop.
Make sure you do not accidentally pinch your...

Tires
Cambridge Dictionary defines tire as "a rubber ring, usually filled with air, that fits around the wheel of a car, bicycle, or other vehicle."
Tires have reinforcing treads within them. Based on the direction of the treads, tires may be classified as cross-ply or radial. Radial tires are standard for modern automobiles. They have belts that run around the circumference of the tire to give stability to the tread. Underneath the belt are multiple plies of steel, Kevlar, or other textiles that run vertical to the belt.
Beneath the belts is the casing, which is made of rubber, with polyester, nylon, or rayon cords within the rubber give it strength. Beneath the casing is the inner tube. There is no cord reinforcing here.
A monthly check-up of tire pressure is important. Under inflation causes reduced fuel efficiency and heat buildup in the tires. Over inflation wears tires out more in the center of the tread.
Friction from moving contact with the...
