They cancelled the marathon. Holy crap. What took them so long? Where
were all the thousands of people going to eat? Sleep? Buy gas and essentials? To let it go so far was just a reflection of the state of the governments. All of them. Imbeciles. The death toll is yet to be set. There will be death in the gas lines. In the looting. In the coming cold. It ain't over until it's over, and that is a good way off at this pace. They could have already had 2800 houses lit up with the 7 generators they have at Central Park for the Marathon. Un Believable. Steve |

To let it go so far was just a reflection of the state of the governments. All of them. Imbeciles. Bloomberg: the most egocentric N'Yawk-centric 3-term asshole on earth Who quintupled his wealth while mayor. Dats why all these billionaires are running for office now, dey wanna Be Like Mike.... heh, makes sense. So they aren't imbecilic at all, much as it often appears that way. They are deadly, diabolical strategists. Little Mike Bloomberg waves his dick like a billy club.. The death toll is yet to be set. There will be death in the gas lines. In the looting. In the coming cold. It ain't over until it's over, and that is a good way off at this pace. They could have already had 2800 houses lit up with the 7 generators they have at Central Park for the Marathon. Un Believable. It is. Itsa BizarroWorld around here, orchestrated by the very rich. It's like being in a puppet show, and we are the puppets. "Don't yank my chain"?? Our chains are being yanked 24/7/365. My arms/legs are being yanked out of their sockets. But when you really examine the dynamics of power, their expert division of the population, EVERYTHING they do makes perfect sense. You think this multi-lingual bull**** is politically correck ""diversity"'?? Sheeit, it's the Great Cultural ConJob/Divide, deftly orchestrated by these assholes to keep us dizzy/diverse.... comprende?? -- EA, born/bred N'Yawker, headed for Canada. Steve |

Just some of the issues the the fancy guys in the ivory towers
overlooked: 1. the starting place - that island had yet to get any services and had no water, gas, electricity and the mess was all over the streets. 2. After leaving this forgotten island, they move to the next worst place - both being on the north side of the storm with the strongest winds. I venture guess someone finally flew him in a helicopter over the route to bring him to reality. Or got a film to him in the nick of time. Unless you have been in such of mess - total mess it is - you have no idea. I've lived a month on generators. A pacific storm. Two weeks because of the massive Earthquake. Oh - for those who watched the Baseball game - San Fran was in the world series and another disaster occurred, this time on the East Coast. Maybe Ivory tower guys got to see a video over their catered lunch. Where is the help and the trailers for those who lost their homes and were run out of their apartments with no place to go... Sad times indeed. Martin On 11/2/2012 9:29 PM, Steve B wrote: They cancelled the marathon. Holy crap. What took them so long? Where were all the thousands of people going to eat? Sleep?

It is just almost criminal to me that they have wasted time, chasing after the marathon, and some insisting it go on, and now all that time was wasted, when it could have been applied to people. Don't know if it was mayor or gov who said, people cry, people die, life goes on, or something like that. And another that said NY'ers needed something to cheer about. Mebbe, but I think they'd cheer more for some warmth from their furnace, some warm food, and a warm dry place to sleep. We'll see how it all shakes out. Brings out the best and worst in people. Go home, scabs! NY'er union guys to Alabama electricians who drove up on their own dollars to help. God help them all. Steve |

Upconvert is no problem at all. connect generator to the low voltage side of one of the transformers and it is upconverted to high voltage on the other side, and stepped back down for the houses on the next transformer. 7 generators can connect to 7 subsegments isolated from each other and the grid by pulling fuses (or throwing switches, depending how the particular local grid is set up) It was done during/after the big ice storm in eastern Ontario. Big locomotive sized deisel generators hooked up to run entire small towns. |

Steve Six Hydro districts up here are sending crews to New York this weekend to get the lines back up, the trees off the lines, poles reset etc. Guelph, Waterloo North, Kitchener Wilmot, and 3 others from the surrounding area if my memory serves correctly. |

He's talking about 400 homes per generator. Around here that's 200A service per home, and if they are using electric heat they will be using a lot of that. What pole pig will let you feed that kind of current into the secondary? It was done during/after the big ice storm in eastern Ontario. Big locomotive sized deisel generators hooked up to run entire small towns. We don't have pole pigs in my neigbourhood - Ours are in vaults underground. There ARE pole pigs around in some other local areas. but how big are the generators. And also, what voltage? Could perhaps connect at a substation. |

When the floods hit Brisbane, Australia in January 2010, there were thousands of volunteers cleaning up and providing food and water all doing it for free. We did nt wait for government to get the place cleaned up, about the only government involvement was to provide trucks to take away the debris. The volunteers were on the scene well before the Army got its act together. Those who could not do the physical work would walk around the streets making sure everyone had enough water in the hot and humid weather. |

We drove about 100kms to help out, there were people who drove upto 300kms to help in the Brisbane floods. But the difference being that fuel supplies were only slightly disrupted and the major refineries barely missed a beat. I think one of the other differences is that we have a well established civil defence organisation "State emergency service" which carry out drills and exercises just for such emergencies - but again apart from a handful of the head office administrators they are all volunteers, they even have to do fund raising to buy their equipment.

But there is a lot of New York outside of Manhattan, even in the outer boroughs of NYC such as Staten Island you will see plenty of chain saws and other equipment. Also, out of the city most fire departments and ambulance companies are volunteers. There are plenty of volunteers in NY and quite a few resourceful residents. |

I sure do that kind of thing. I take what equipment I have, and go help out
when needed. Until the union guys turn me away, that is. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Jim Wilkins" wrote in message ...
