Though rare, there are certain times a winter survival kit for your car will come in handy. People die every year in their automobiles from exposure to the elements during harsh weather conditions. It takes mere minutes for the warmth of a car to plunge into deadly below zero temperatures in many parts of the country. There is a basic survival kit that takes up very little space in your car and may someday save your life and those who may be with you.
Here is to make one.
- Include items in your survival kit which can heat up the car. To warm up a car that has died by the side of the road in a blizzard, certain items are proven to be effective. A large metal coffee can is the perfect size for a roll of toilet paper. If you find yourself stranded, place the roll in the can and pour some isopropyl alcohol on it. Place it in a safe place towards the middle of the car and light it. Be sure that you have a window cracked open. The cold is going to enter anyway and you want what little smoke there is to exit the car. This will produce a clean flame that will burn for hours and provide enough warmth to keep you alive until help arrives.
- 2Pack candles. Another way to warm up the interior of a car in freezing weather is with a medium candle placed in a metal coffee can. Again crack a window. The warmth of one candle can raise the temperature enough to keep you alive. Two candles in two cans are even better. Of course the extra jackets, blankets,hats, gloves, socks, and long underwear that you packed in your winter survival kit will help also.
- 3Have a way to signal someone for help from the car. A cell phone will work great if you have a useful signal. A flashlight can be used to signal in the dark and aid in reading car manuals, etc.
- 4Include food and water in your survival kit. This is important to keep up your energy if you have to remain with your vehicle over a prolonged period. This does happen in remote places in severe weather. Nuts, dried fruit and candy bars will provide nutrition and energy. Bottled water will keep you hydrated.
- 5Keep your survival kit current. Making a list of things you need for your survival kit is an easy way to remember to pack it during winter months. It is also a good way to ensure there are fresh batteries in your flashlight, extra batteries, dry, new matches or good lighters, or new food and water.

How to Add a Video to My Site
2
Click on the video you want to share, if you want to share one already on the Internet. Beneath the video you should see an embed option. This will generate an HTML code, a basic website organizing and building code. Paste the code into your website and a video site such as YouTube will play the video on your page.3
Add a new post to your blog. Most blog platforms will have an "Add Video" button. For example, on WordPress the button is between the title and text and just above the text options next to "Add a Photo." From there you can select your file by finding it in your computer documents folder. Work through the options to find what works for you. If at first the video does not look good, go back and change some options until you find something that works.
4
Create a new folder in your Web server. Save it as "Videos." Upload your video into this folder and save it. For example "Videoname." This will show up on your website as something like mysite.com/video/videoname.avi.5
Embed the video by entering an HTML code. Different browsers read different code. This means using both old and new code. So, you would use an <embed> code within an <object> code.6
Use an HTML code generator online if you are uncomfortable with using HTML coding. These sites, such as Quackit.com, can be found easily using a search engine and will convert your video into a usable code. Click and copy the code and then paste it into your webpage.1
Insert the blank CD-R into your computer's drive. After the dialogue box pops up, choose the option "Burn Files to Data Disc." Name your disk appropriately with something along the lines of "Rosetta Stone Back Up."2
Select "C:Program Data/Rosetta Stone" from Windows Explorer when prompted to select a file to burn. To copy only your progress and not the entire program, select the file "tracking.db3." For Mac users, this file is located at "HD > Library > Application Support > Rosetta Stone Version 3 > tracking.db3."3
Click the "Burn" button on the Windows dialogue box. After the CD is finished burning, eject it from the drive. Be sure to write "Rosetta Stone Progress" on the face of the CD and store it properly in a jewel case or CD folder.4
To copy your progress file onto your desktop or a separate folder instead of on a CD, follow all of the previous steps up to locating the "tracking.db3" file. Click on the file and drag it to your desktop or chosen folder. It is possible to copy the entire C:Program Data/Rosetta Stone folder, but it will take up a considerable amount of your hard drive's memory.5
If you uninstall Rosetta Stone or wipe your hard drive, you can use your backup to pick up where you left off your instruction. First reinstall and open Rosetta Stone. Replace the default "tracking.db3" file with the backup "tracking.db3" file that is on your CD or desktop.Here is How To Set T1 Timing on a BCM 400.

How to Raise Data Recovery for an NTFS 4.0
1.2
Click the "Data Recovery" folder and then the "Data Recovery" icon. This opens the Raise Data Recovery program on the screen. Your drives are listed on the right pane.3
Right-click the drive with an NTFS file system and click "Recover Lost Data."4
Click the "Next" button at the bottom of the Data Recovery Scan dialog.5
Click in the box next to "Search for deleted files" and click the "Start" button. Allow several minutes for the program to scan for deleted files. Once finished, the program displays a results list.6
Click "Deleted Files" in the left pane. This shows you the file structure. Browse for the file you want to recover. Personal documents are located in the "Documents and Settings" directory. Files for your applications are located in the "Program Files" directory and system-related files are located in the "Windows" directory.7
Right-click the file you want to recover and click "Copy to..." This opens a small dialog window that lets you choose where you want to copy the deleted file. You can choose its original location or a new location.8
Click the "Select" button to begin copying the file or folder to the selected location. The file or folder is recovered and can now be used.2
Choose the connection for video output. If your computer has an HDMI port, you can simply connect an HDMI cord of the correct length between the computer and the TV. Otherwise, you will need to make a few decisions. If your computer has only a single video output and it will not be used solely with the television, you may want to invest in a new video card. Purchase one with either a DVI or an HDMI output, and install it in an available slot, according the instructions included with it. If you intend to use the VGA output on a single-output or dual-output card to drive the HDMI display, then a special device will be needed to convert between the formats. The price of the converter is actually about the same price as an entry-level video card that will be easier to use with your TV. In that case, it may be a wise idea to upgrade the card in order to obtain a DVI or HDMI port. However, if your chosen output port is DVI, an inexpensive DVI to HDMI cable can convert your computer's output into the proper HDMI input for your TV.3
Connect the HDMI cable from your television to your computer. Install the correct adapter or converter for your computer, if necessary. Unless your computer has HDMI output, cords will also need to be connected from the sound card output to the HDMI video cable or adapter, because HDMI carries both video and audio signals.4
Boot your PC, and configure the new display by selecting "Control Panel" from the "Start" Menu. Double-click the "Display" icon and click the "Settings" tab. The manual for your HDMI TV will list the screen resolutions it supports, along with the refresh rates. Configure the resolution in the "Settings" tab, and then click the "Advanced" button to set the refresh rate. If you are using the HDMI TV as the second monitor, you will also have to configure how it is used by Windows, according to the instructions pertaining to your video card. Most cards offer a "Clone" or "Mirror" mode, where both screens display the same content. Alternately, the "Extended Desktop" mode will allow each monitor to operate independently.5
Reboot your PC to apply the changes, if necessary, and prepare to relax on your couch and watch movies on the big-screen HDMI TV.Here is how to Delete Your Browser's History.

It may take a few moments for the disc to be read--you will notice it when it says, "Checking Playlist." Depending on how many songs are on the CD, it may take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes for audio songs to be copied onto the disc.3
After the process is completed, your songs are now in CD format, and you will be able to play them on a CD player.2
Access your laptop's display settings by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing the "Personalize" option from the menu (note that this only applies in Windows Vista; if you are using Windows XP, choose "Properties" instead). Choose "Display Settings" from the new window that opens up.3
Use the "Identify Monitors" button to search for a new monitor; large numbers should appear on both your laptop display and the TV screen. If a number doesn't appear on the TV screen, check your channel setting and make sure that it is on the correct channel to display video from the s-video input.4
Once the laptop has identified the TV as a monitor, you can begin using the TV to watch movies, share programs or images with several people, or even play the games you have on your laptop using your larger TV screen.
