Did the 1995 Volvo 850 GLT have an alternate set of rear brakes to act as the parking brake?
I have a 1995 Volvo 850 GLT and I recently drove about a half mile with the parking brake on. Will that damage the car in any way? Also, did the 850 GLT have an alternate set of rear brakes that acted as the parking brake?
Yes, as do most Volvo models of this vintage. I doubt your emergency brake shoes or rotors were damaged. If they were damaged, you would have heard a loud grinding which would indicate the brake material wearing down to the metal brake shoe and contacting the metal brake rotor.
sorry all my last questions have been about scopes but I just want to make sure I spend my money on something that's worth it. I really like how these scopes look but have never been able to use one. I need a scope that will let me sight in my Remington 700 vtr .223 at 300 yards and be able to see the target close and clear.would this scope be good for what I need it for? is there any better suggestions?
I am looking at the 6-24X50 model
I have a Monarch and love it. I also have a Buck Master and several ProStaffs and love them as well. Nikon makes quality stuff, period! Since you are using a .223 I will guess you are varmint hunting. I still think 6-24 is a bit much because once you zoom in so far, every small movement on your end equals a huge movement thru the scope so you may spend all day searching around for your target. My suggestion would be the 6-18x40 SF. The side focus allows you to adjust the focus while the rifle is in the ready position.
why are my rear brakes getting hung up when the bike rolls backwards?
I have a '82 Yamaha Maxim XJ1100J. When rolling the bike backwards the rear disk brakes get hung up making it almost impossible to move the bike. Everything seems fine when rolling it forward though. Any ideas?
excessive play between the pads and the disc causing the pads to twist and bind. Check the thickness of your pads. They may be ready to go bye bye, or you could have a caliper problem, but I doubt it.
You did say it has disc brakes right????
Adjust rear shock spring on MX bike with no special tools. Yamaha example.
Although it may seem like any water skier's rope would suit wakeboarding that would be a rookie's mistake. When comparing a water-skiing rope (polypropylene) to a non- stretch spectra or low stretch polyethylene wakeboarding rope the big difference is exactly that. Non-stretch spectra rope does not stretch (only 0.5% under normal load) and polyethylene has only a low amount (about 1%). Water skier's need that elastic band effect for their salome runs however we as wakeboarders do not want this. Reason being that once in the air, the elasticity in the rope can pull you off your axis (balance). (If you are unsure on what 'your axis' is, it's your body position whilst it the air). This makes performing tricks and landing them extremely difficult. Using a polypropylene rope also negates riding with a progressive edge (An edge that gets harder as you approach the wake), which again limits your progression and learning curve as a wakeboarder. We need a predictable line that can be loaded (put tension on) without stretch and is why we use spectra or poly-e. An easy way to compare the two from poly-p is first the physical size. As spectra is much stronger than polypropylene, it has a much smaller/thinner physical diameter because the tensile strength is higher. This is will be the dead giveaway to distinguish spectra. However poly-e is about the same size in diameter so the only real practical way to determine (other than testing the two out whilst riding) is to see if the rope floats well. Poly-e does not float that well in water compared to poly-p which is less dense than water.
When selecting a wakeboard rope, hands down spectra would be the pick of the bunch would have to be spectra as it far outweighs the other two in tensile strength and weight. Many now come with a thermal coating to resisted kinks and twists and also a PVC coating for extra durability and all generally have adjustable lengths so you can ride at the length that suits your riding speed/wake size. This is the type of rope the pro's use and there is a reason for it. However like anything that is the best on the market, it generally costs more. A good spectra rope can be usually be picked up for under $150 depending on the brand and quality compared to a poly-e that retails for about half that. Get what suits your budget however as your wakeboarding progresses you will eventually want to use a spectra rope. So bottom line if you can afford it, get it.
Selecting a handle comes down to personal preference again as there are many types and feels of grip on the market, however look for one that has a wide handle between 13-15 inches (to make those handle passes behind the back easier ), has a nice grip that is comfortable to hold and wont slip out of wet hands easily.
At the end of the day for such a simple piece of equipment, the wakeboard rope and handle is one of the most important gear apparel that you will own. So make sure your first choice is a good one, otherwise wakeboarding can be a very frustrating sport.
What is the internal world of schizophrenics and schizotypals like?
If you have a schizophrenic spectrum disorder, what is your internal world like?
For example, I am diagnosed with schizotypal PD. I am never sure whether my thoughts are 'real' or just part of some conspiracy against me. I question my motives regarding myself. I have very poor memory and feel I go through life with a weak flashlight illuminating a very tiny fraction of the world I experience. I am not interested in other people, they are a distraction from my fantasy world. I experience extreme feelings like terror or otherworldliness one day, and then question whether I did the next.
I have been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia there are a lot of things I can't remember whether they actually happened or not the whole world seems confusing I can't seem to trust whether a person is there or not so I have cut my self off from social contacts.
It's kind of hard to try and sum up what my "world" is like I know what it feels like but finding the right words to describe the whole experience is difficult. I guess if anything everything feels dark I see strange large creatures roaming around and find my self a lot of the time listening to voices that come from no where and sounds that I have never heard before. People appear and disappear without warning, everything feels erratic and almost as if I am watching from the outside.
I can never hold a relationship with someone I meet so many people that I really enjoy the company of people I can never find a thing wrong with but as soon as it ends I never want to see them again and I try and avoid them as much as possible but other times I am just not interested in people just like you, I never have the urge to have friends I feel so much more relaxed and at ease without them I've literally cut my self down to one person who isn't apart of my family and that's my boyfriend who has helped me through everything.
Sometimes my world is terrifying and I just want it all to go away and sometimes it is calm but it is always random as to what will happen next.
But watching the people on the outside of my world sometimes it feels lonely that I am the only one that knows I am in here, I do not seek nor want those outside people but sometimes I want to be able to have my own understanding of my self

With a surplus of options, selecting the best power tool can be a complicated process; with considerations from price to power and everything in-between, a craftsman's check-list can fast become endless. However, with these details of the industry's best corded screwdrivers from Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, and Milwaukee, the choice should be a simpler one to make.
Dewalt's DW268 Versa-Clutch screw-gun is an ultra high-power tool with an intense motor built for the toughest metal fastening applications. The tool's Versa-Clutch torque adjustment system allows craftsmen to modify power to the exact torque needed for each application; this means you drive each fastener more efficiently, and without stripping or breakage. The gun's rubber-grip, two-finger trigger, and advanced ergonomics provide users with uncommon comfort, control, and significantly less operator fatigue, and while the gun is designed to feel comfortable in your hands, it is also engineered with serious durability. The DW268's helical-cut, heat-treated gears provide a long and healthy life for your screw-gun, and its metal nose and gear-case offer superior resilience to jobsite wear and tear. Dewalt builds a pretty serious power tool, and for the most serious craftsmen, this screwdriver will have your back through the most rigorous, heavy-duty applications. Ranging in price from about $190 - $280 (on-line versus in-store pricing can result in a pretty sizable discrepancy), the DW268 is the most expensive of this group of screw-gun's, but for 6.5 amps, a strong tool, and a strong warranty, chances are, you'll find it worth every penny.
On another hand, Milwaukee is know for building some of the best corded drills in the industry and their 6790-20 fastener/screwdriver leaves no room to question why. This is a brilliantly good tool designed to bring craftsmen some of the most heavy-duty, high-quality performance accessible in the tool-business, and with 6.5 amps of super power, and variable speeds from 0 - 2,500 RPM, the 6790-20 is perfectly equip for the most challenging industrial jobs. The gun's no-slip depth guide allows users to exactly control the depth of every screw, thus, eliminating any guess work and leaving your projects shining with accuracy. An all metal gear-case and diaphragm renders the screw-gun is awesomely strong and durable, and with the perks of a sleek ergonomic design the 6790-20 is comfortable and simple to operate. Ranging from about $120 - $230 (same issue with on-line versus in-store pricing - of course this phenomenon is not universal, but to provide the most thorough idea, both low and high prices are provided), Milwaukee's 6790-20, in addition to bringing aggressive high-performance and smooth operation, can be found at a great price.
Where high-quality and low-price are equally important, Bosch builds a heavy-duty screwdriver at a surprisingly competitive price. Ranging from $70 to $115, Bosch brings craftsmen a tool that is truly superior at a price that is nearly impossible to resist. In fact, because Bosch's SG25M high-torque screw-gun is so uncommonly awesome, it's difficult to adequately accolade this screwdriver. The gun is ultra compact and with an ergonomic design, provides users with a truly unique comfort on the job; in truth, there is a fairly good chance that with this tool, you'll want to drive screws all day. Its (patent-pending) Posi-Lock noise piece design, essentially, makes a little miracle with every use as it exactly retains depth settings even after being removed. This Posi-Lok system is brilliantly accurate and its depth setting retention eliminates tedious and time-consuming depth adjustments and readjustments. With 7 amps of super-power and 0 - 2,500 RPM, the SG25M offers optimum high-speeds for heavy screwdriving and the best torque to weight ratio is its class (at 179 in. lbs). Additionally, with variable speeds and reversing action, operators have complete control over the screw-gun and all its capacities. The tool's metal gear housing is tremendously durable to ensure it withstands the abuses of jobsite wear and tear, and with a strong bit tip magnet, your control over driving (even the longest screws) is significantly improved. The SG25M is one beast of burden that is built as smart as it is strong. Perfect for every craftsman from the heaviest to lightest users, having this driver in your corner will embolden your spirits and produce always striking results.
Makita builds another extremely high-quality screwdriver for lighter-duty users in their 6821. The 6821 (variable speed, reversible) drywall screwdriver is built to provide high-performance results with some seriously impressive perks. With variable speed control, high-power, and consistently comfortable operation, mastering the art of screwdriving seems an innate characteristics. Speed control grants operators far greater control over both the tool and task, and because the 6821 has the highest power to weight ratio in its class, the tool is both simple to use and highly aggressive. Offering consistent and accurate depth settings, and boasting the lowest noise and lowest vibration of any other comparable screwdriver, the 6821 is precise during even heavy-duty applications. Additionally, Makita builds some of the most powerful, durable motors in the industry rendering this tool a serious driver that will impress for a long time to come. Pricing from about $80 - $90, the 6821, while also being brilliantly effective, is also a great value.
If you're looking for something a bit bigger from Makita, their 6827 enjoys an intense 6.5 amp motor and a six-stage externally adjustable torque sensitive clutch mechanism. The driver is designed for heavier duty applications, and while unquestionably durable, it is also lightweight and smooth operating. The 6827 prices in the $170 range, a bit more expensive than the 6821, but it is a tremendously good screw-gun that will long remain a sound investment.
Any of these screwdrivers are certain to bring you brilliant and lasting results, and because they are also corded, the power they produce will never dwindle or diminish. Coming from the best manufacturers in the business, these drivers boast a longevity, and precision power that will only impress.

what is the best high power binoculars to buy?
I want to buy a really good high power set of binoculars to buy?
I need a lot of help with this, as i know absolutely nothing about buying binoculars, zoom, brand, the jargon etc. etc. so the more detail and help the better please. thanks
The pair that you want will depend on what you want to use them for.
Let me give you a few basics first.
The higher the power of the binoculars, the more they are subject to magnifying the natural shake of your hands as you hold them.
For that reason, unless you are going to place them on a tripod, the maximum magnification that most people are comfortable using hand held is 10x. And many prefer 8x because the image is more stable yet. I have both 8x and 10x binoculars. I once tried a pair of 12x and I could not hold them steady enough. The image jiggled all over the place.
For looking at wild life, especially birds, a wide field of view is prefered. If the field of view is narrow, it can be difficult to find what you are looking for through the binoculars. Sometimes totally impossible.
8x binoculars normally have a wider field of view than 10x. That makes them preferable for bird watching.
The next number normally advertised is the diameter of the objective lense. The larger this lense, the more light the binoculars are capable of gathering and the brighter the image that you will see. But the larger the objective lense, the heavier the binoculars.
So you might see advertised 8x40 binoculars. That means they have 8x magnification and the objective lense is 40 mm in diameter. That is a very popular size. But they can be rather heavy, especially if you are lugging them around all day.
The next thing to consider is the environment in which you plan to use them. If you plan on taking them to the cloud forests of Costa Rica, you will want a pair that is waterproof and nitrogen purged to prevent moisture from condensing on the inside of the binoculars.
The next important thing to consider is how close you will want the binoculars to focus. If you might wish to use them to look at butterflies and dragonflies, you will want a pair that fill focus close, 6 to 10 feet. Not beyond 10 feet.
The final thing to consider is whether you wear eye glasses. If you do you will require a pair of binoculars that will allow you to use them while wearing your glasses. This is called eye relief and you will want 19 mm preferably but no less than 17 mm eye relief.
Zoom binoculars are a compromise. The image will not be of as good quality as non-zoom binoculars.
The price range of a pair of binoculars runs for about $39.00 to well over $1000.00. A good pair will cost in the neighborhood of $200+-.
The two very best binoculars on the market are Nikon Premier LXL 8x42 and the Swarovski 8.5x42. The Swarovski will cost about $1700 and the Nikon about $1300. You will not find a serious birder that does not have a pair of Swarovski binoculars.
But I believe they are more of a statement than anything else. They tell others, "Hey, I am serious about this."
Both pair are waterproof and nitrogen purged. The Nikons have a field of view of 367 ft at 1000 yds. an eye relief of 20 mm and close focus of 9.8 ft.
The Swarovskis have a field of view of 390 ft at 1000 yds. an eye relief of 18 mm and close focus of 8 ft.
Both pair have a locking diopter adjustment. What that means is that your two eyes are not exactly the same, so one of the lenses must have an adjustment so that the two eyes are in agreement on the focus. If the adjustment locks, then it will not change when in use. Most binoculars do not have a locking adjustment and it tends to get out of adjustment.
The Swarovskis weigh 29 oz. The Nikons 28 oz. Both pair are roof prism binoculars.
There are two types of binocular roof prism and porro prism. Roof prism are a straight through barrel. Porro prism have an offset barrel. The current rage is roof prism. Porro are less expensive and in the past have been considered to give a superior image, but technology has improved greatly recently and that is no longer the case.
A pair of binoculars that is good but not so expensive is Pentax PCF WPII 8x40 binoculars at about $150. Or Celestron Regal LX 8x42 at about $400.
