INTRODUCTION 5 ROLLOVER WARNING 1 Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may roll over while some other vehicles may not. Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle con- trol. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in a Rollover Warning Label collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided Drive carefully. is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the U.S. government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up. 6 INTRODUCTION WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS/ALTERATIONS This Owner’s Manual contains WARNINGS against oper- ating procedures that could result in a collision, bodily WARNING! injury and/or death.

  • WORDS—A Collection of Poems and Song Lyrics by Paul F
    WORDS— A Collection of Poems and Song Lyrics By P.F Uhlir Preface This volume contains the poems and songs I have written over the past four decades. There is a critical mass at his point, so I am self-publishing it online for others to see. It is still a work in progress and I will be adding to them as time goes on. The collections of both the poems and songs were written in different places with divergent topics and genres. It has been a sporadic effort, sometimes going for a decade without an inspiration and then several works in a matter of months. Although I have presented each collection chronologically, the pieces also could be arranged by themes. They are about love and sex, religion, drinking, and social topics—you know, the stuff to stay away from at the holiday table. In addition, although the songs only have lyrics, they can be grouped into genres such as blues, ballads, and songs that would be appropriate in musicals. Some of the songs defy categorization. I have titled the collection “Words”, after my favorite poem, which is somewhere in the middle. Most of them tell a story about a particular person, or event, or place that is meaningful to me. It is of personal significance and perhaps not interesting or understandable to the reader. To that extent, it can be described as a self-indulgence or an introspection; but most of them are likely to have a broader meaning that can be readily discerned. I’m sure I will add to them as time goes on, but I felt it was time to put them out.

  • Clothing List: Rock Climbing Day Trip
    CLOTHING LIST: ROCK CLIMBING DAY TRIP When selecting clothing, an important consideration is the material. Cotton clothing does not keep you warm if it is wet and it takes a very long time to dry. This can be desirable on a hot, sunny day but can mean hypothermia on a cool, cloudy, breezy day. Wool and synthetic fabrics dry quickly and will keep you warm, even if they are wet. Several layers of clothing made of these materials are best. This allows you to add or remove layers as your activity level and the temperature change throughout the day. If you do not have everything on the list we encourage you to borrow items from Carolina Outdoor Education’s surplus clothing bin. We have rain gear and warm layers available. Make sure and let your Instructors know what you need at the pre-trip meeting. * - Indicates items available from Carolina Outdoor Education FOOTWEAR Approach Shoes: You will need lightweight hiking boots or sturdy tennis shoes for the steep, rocky approach to the climbing site. Tennis shoes can be used for climbing, as well. *Climbing shoes: Bring them, if you have them. We have some you can borrow, as well. CLOTHING T shirt: You will want a short sleeve shirt for climbing. *Warm layer: Medium or heavy-weight shirt or sweater made of fleece or wool. (WEATHER DEPENDENT) *Rain layer: You should bring raingear, in case we are caught in a storm and to help keep you warm. Pants/shorts: Dress for the weather. You may want to have a warm pair of pants over shorts, so you can adjust for the weather and activity level.
