![]() The Packers (2-2) stuffed Peterson with their new 3-4 defense, holding him to 12 yards on 11 attempts in the second half and 55 yards for the game. ![]() It never gets old to me, even though I do," he said. He said he was as nervous as he could remember, once it dawned on him in the afternoon the significance of this matchup. In 1999, though, he went 14 for 35 with four interceptions in his first game against Mike Holmgren after the head coach took over in Seattle.įavre said he felt on this night a lot like he did in that game after his dad died. In 2003, on Monday night against Oakland after the death of his father, Favre threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns. One of the most excitable players football has ever seen, Favre's history in emotional games has been mixed. "One game does not define my career good or bad. "My statement has been what I've done over my career," Favre said. "He was great."įavre was clearly uncomfortable this week with all the attention on this reunion, trying to downplay the significance and stumbling through denials that his main motivation to unretire last year was revenge on general manager Ted Thompson for not letting him come back and compete for his old job with Rodgers. "You don't want your quarterback crying coming out of the locker room," coach Brad Childress said. Everybody in the stadium stood all the way through the Vikings' first possession, instead of sitting after the first few snaps like usual. This was a highly anticipated and heavily hyped game. This was his sixth game with Minnesota, counting the preseason, but the sight of the guy who led Green Bay to a Super Bowl trophy and took only one losing record in 16 years there wearing the rival team's jersey was still strange. Pink wristbands, cleats and sideline caps for breast cancer awareness gave the game a different look, but nothing altered the color scheme as much as Favre in purple. But the ball bounced off Lee's chest and onto the turf, as Rodgers snapped his head back with his hands on the sides of his helmet. On fourth-and-goal at the 1 in the third quarter, Rodgers found tight end Donald Lee open in the end zone. Rodgers' receivers let him down, too, though. Colledge moved from left guard two weeks ago when Chad Clifton got hurt. The Vikings were relentless in their rush, particularly Allen on left tackle Daryn Colledge, who left in the third quarter with a right knee injury. He finished 26 for 37 for a career-high 384 yards, many of them in desperation down the stretch, and two touchdown passes. "To have three possessions where you're in their territory and come away with zero points, two of them are directly related to mistakes by myself, that's disappointing."įavre had tons of time to throw throughout the game, and Rodgers had the exact opposite experience - often hanging onto the ball too long. "Below my expectations, definitely," Rodgers said. Rodgers tried to engineer the kind of drive his predecessor is famous for, but he came up short. I could see it in his eyes."įavre hugged Rodgers, Donald Driver and several other Packers once the game was over. "He downplayed it all week, but I just knew it meant a lot to him. "I definitely wanted to get this win for Brett," teammate Adrian Peterson said. Rodgers had his first two turnovers of the season, and Favre turned both of them into vintage touchdown passes in the first half. Jared Allen was credited with 4½ of them, a career high, including a safety in the fourth quarter that stretched the lead to 16. The Vikings (4-0) sacked Favre's replacement, Aaron Rodgers, eight times. "But you know, we didn't do ourselves any justice." "I don't think there was any question what he could do when he came back," Packers cornerback Charles Woodson said. He stayed poised in the pocket all night, too, and avoided the risky throws that have defined his career almost as much as the success. He celebrated his first scoring toss with an awkward body bump with kicker Ryan Longwell, also a former Packers teammate, and showed plenty of emotion on this most emotional night. I felt right, but I guess I never thought I'd be in that situation," Favre said.įavre went 24 for 31, without a turnover. Well, he saved the best for last: The Green Bay Packers.įavre's first game against his former team was all fun for the Minnesota Vikings and all frustration for the Packers, as the graying quarterback kept his cool and connected for three touchdown passes and 271 yards in a 30-23 victory on Monday night. MINNEAPOLIS - Brett Favre added another feat to his overflowing résumé: He's the first quarterback in history to beat all 32 NFL teams. Favre throws for 271 yards, three touchdowns in Vikings' win ![]() “I have dabbled in the study of infant delivery.” “And as long as they know what they’re doing.” added Lisa. “Well they can if there are no doctors around.” said David.

A car pulled up and a scientist wearing a mask and gloves stepped out holding you." Lincoln: "Hey, Lori, do you remember anything about the day I was born?" “Aw Linky!” Lori smiled as she hugged him. “And I appreciate it every day, whether you’re hom or not.” said Lincoln. “After the luck incident and the Santiagos moving away, I gained a new appreciation for Lincoln being in my life and tried to become a better older sister afterwards.” Lori explained. “Looking back on it now, I don't see why you couldn't tell me the time of day in which I was born or how much I weighed.” Lincoln muttered. “Really? You don’t remember the timing of his birth?” frowned Carlos. ![]() Lincoln: "Well, what time of day was I born?" “Why are you guys acting nervous?” Maria asked. Rita: Uh, that's weird." "What do you wanna know?" "This happened a long time ago before Lucy, the twins, Lisa and Lily were born, Rita explained the whole thing by the time she came back home with her newborn son and my newborn grandson." Pop-Pop replied. "Relax, everybody, there's a perfectly good reasonable explanation for all this." Albert said calmly. "Please tell us you weren't playing favorites this time because not taking a baby picture of one of your children is muy concerning." Arturo frowned. "My brother is correct, you've taken lots of baby pictures of all ten of your daughters, yet you couldn't take one baby picture of your one and only son?!" Maria scowled. "That's what I like to know as well! Every parent knows that they should have at least baby pictures of ALL their kids, mi amor even made sweatshirts of our kids when they were little!" Carlos exclaimed. "How could you two not take pictures of your mijo when he just a little bebé?!" demanded Frida, tears in her eyes. "Ay-yi-yi, how can this be?!" asked Hector. "Do mis oídos deceive me?! Your son, Lincoln Loud, does not have any baby pictures in his baby book?!" Rosa asked. “The Dragon Scroll is supposed to be blank, not Lincoln’s baby book!” said Adelaide. “Blank?!” everyone but Lincoln, Clyde, Lynn Sr., Rita, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Albert said in unison.

"And we'll continue holding you all to that." said Principal Huggins.Ĭlyde: "Check this out!" "Our little Lori was born with a pointy head, no hair, and webbed toes." After all this is over, we promise that from now on, things are gonna change once we return back to Royal Woods." Lynn Sr. "Don't worry, everyone, we really do stand by what we said. "Hurtful, but totally understandable." nodded Rita. ![]() "We are not doing this because we want to make you all feel bad, we just don't want any of these episodios to give us the wrong impression about you is all." Arturo assured them. "Sí, we have already forgiven you for the past incidents, but we still just want to make sure that none of these episodios confirms our earlier beliefs about you." said Frida. "Sometimes they're cool and sometimes they're not." said Rusty. “Like you don’t act the same.” snorted Adelaide, making Carl pout. No offense, but the first season and the beginning of this season were kinda mean-spirited, even though there were some other enjoyable episodes." said Carl. "It's just we're more wary of how these episodes are portrayed." answered Carlos. “Believe us, we still do even after a lot of stuff we’ve seen.” assured Sam. "It's not that any of us don't trust you Louds." began Maria. "Guys, do you not trust any of us?" Leni asked. ![]() It's similar to Type A coolant, and contains very small amounts of the additives that Type A (around 5-10%) does and is used more commonly as a rust or corrosion inhibitor and not as a “coolant.” This type of coolant was commonly used in vehicles before the 1980s. A variety of different inhibitor packages are used in Type A coolants and depending on its application, different doses of glycol are used. This is typically either ethylene glycol and is used to decrease the coolant’s freezing point and raise its boiling point. Type A coolant contains an antifreeze + anti-boil component. First, the type of coolants, there are two main types of coolant, Type A and Type B. Second, you must find out what the base of the coolant is. ![]() First, you have to find what type of coolant you need. When it comes to selecting a coolant, there are two things which you should take into account. What are the different types of coolant? What is a coolant inhibitor? While some coolants are compatible with others, changing the chemical balance in the cooling system can affect coolant performance, so mixing different types of coolant is not recommended. Coolant should be changed at recommended intervals because some of the additives will age and deteriorate over time, reducing the effectiveness of the coolant. What types of additives are used in coolants?Ī fully formulated coolant is comprised of a careful balance of ethylene or propylene glycol with rust inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, pH buffers for the acid to alkaline balance, anti-foaming agents, and reserve alkalinity additives. Manufacturers can recommend other specific mixture ratios, but below 33.5% Glycol the coolant will give inadequate freeze protection, and above 65% Glycol the mixture has inadequate heat absorption. This will lower the freezing point of the fluid to minus 39☌ and raise the boiling point to 108☌. A common Glycol to water ratio used is 50:50. Glycol does not absorb heat as effectively as water, but when added to water it has the ability to lower the fluid’s freezing point as well as raise its boiling point. Propylene Glycol, which is non-toxic, is sometimes used in the mixture, as well as, or even instead of, the more toxic Ethylene Glycol. What is coolant made of? It's just water right?Ĭoolant is normally a concentrate fluid, usually made of Ethylene Glycol together with some protective additives that is mixed with demineralised water to produce coolant. Be compatible with cooling system component materials.Have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than water.Learn More: How to check your coolant - Click Here.

When an engine stands idle in cold weather, water in the cooling system will expand as it freezes, and this can have sufficient force to crack the engine block or radiator. The amount of heat generated by an engine is the equivalent of that required to heat a large house in winter in very cold climates! As engines and vehicles become smaller and more powerful they generate even more heat in a confined space, and aerodynamically efficient body designs tend to direct air away from, rather than into, the engine bay. Coolant related products:Ĭoolant is commonly a liquid substance that is used in a closed system to reduce and regulate the temperature of an engine. When water starts to boil, it'll build up pressure from the gas expansion in the system causing it to overheat the system and blow vital gaskets. ![]() But before that, you will find that water boils at 100c and freezes at 0c, this works outside the optimal range for engine requirements as some engines will heat up over 100c especially on hot days. If you choose to use only tap water in your cooling system, this can cause radiator, head gasket and thermostat corrision damage over time. If you're still not sure, check the owners/service manual for coolant specifications. Most coolant brands will keep their coolants the same colour to prevent any confusion. The most common method to find out is to simply check the coolant and find out what colour it is when the vehicle is cold. If you use the wrong coolant then over time you’ll begin to notice a drop in your car's performance, and can find a significant amount of damage. When it comes to the coolant you must make sure that you’re using the right one. ![]() Once this is completed you will be suggested the right products to suit/fit your vehicle while searching our site.

These air passages between the central nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses compensate for changes in the volume of gas inside the sinus cavities, which allows for pressure equalization 1,2.ĭuring an ascent on a flight or after diving, the ambient pressure decreases, and the air in paranasal sinuses increases in volume, exiting through the ostia until it reaches a balance at that certain altitude 1,2. Air pressure in the paranasal sinuses normally remains balanced due to the surrounding nasal passages through openings in the sinuses i.e. Sinus barotrauma is due to a pressure-related change in sinus cavities 1-4. Gases found in the various cavities of the human organism obey this law. The pathophysiological mechanism of the condition is explained by Boyle-Mariotte's law, which postulates that "if the temperature is constant, the volume of a gas varies inversely proportional to the pressure it supports" 1,2,4. Sinus barotrauma most often affects the frontal sinuses, followed by the maxillary, ethmoid, and more rarely the sphenoid sinuses 1,2.

To find out, polish the adjacent panels to make sure they haven’t faded. Most paint companies today offer more than one formula for the same paint code. More than one painter has discovered that he’s mixed the wrong formula, and sometimes this is just a case of reading the paint code wrong. When evaluating a match, make sure you have the right paint formula. So, without any further ado, let’s get started. Whatever the reason for the differences at the factory level, it’s your job to make sure your paint matches as closely as possible to the actual paint on the vehicle. And these smaller flakes reflect less light, giving the paint a darker appearance. The constant motion causes the metallic and pearl flakes to collide, causing some to get broken into smaller pieces. This is typically caused by the constant agitation of the paint at the factory. With three locations to serve you, in Fairview Park, Akron, and Elyria, we’re ready to help your business wherever it’s located.More than likely, you’ve come across vehicles built at the same plant with the same paint code that didn’t match each other or the color chip standard – usually metallic or pearl colors. You’ll also be able to see small defects such as swirl marks, burn through, and sand scratches so you can address these defects before you deliver the project to the customer.Īt Westside Auto Paint & Supply, our goal is to help our customers start their projects the right way – with quality supplies at affordable prices. They improve shop efficiency and help to ensure the perfect match, every time. Sun Guns let you check up on your project on your own time and not mother nature’s – as well as ensure you don’t have to keep moving vehicles in and out of the shop to assess in natural light each time you want to review your work. We’ll explore proper spray booth techniques in a future post, however, once the paint sets using a sun gun is the best way to ensure that the new & old colors match. The process of applying your newly matched paint and the aftercare as it dries are just as important as getting the correct formula. After Care Is Just As Important – Using a Sun Gun For older vehicles, this is the preferred method for the proper match to better address fading, as the original composition might not be what’s best for your current project. Gone are the days of eye-balling different shades to choose the perfect finish. If you can bring a piece of the vehicle in (roughly 3” x 3” or larger) into your supply shop they can do the match on-site by scanning the sample with built-in paint formula detection. If finding the color code isn’t an option – happens all the time with custom paint jobs with no notes – all is not lost. We can’t speak for other suppliers, but at Westside most products that have to be ordered are delivered in 24-48 hours – so don’t feel defeated if you have to place an order! What To Do If A Color Code Is Not Available? You can even call ahead to see if they have that paint you need in stock or if an order needs to be placed. Once you have this code your local automotive paint supplier can help get you the correct materials for the job. If you strike out in both of those locations it is occasionally placed on the driver’s side door jamb or radiator support. Typically you can find the paint color code tag inside the glove box or in the spare tire cover of the vehicle. Knowing the VIN will help if you call the Dealership, as the VIN will allow the dealership to give you the actual color code used. How to find the Color Codeįor most projects getting the perfect color match starts with locating the color code that was used on the vehicle’s original finish. To kick off our new monthly blog series we decided to address this commonly asked question to help you bring your vision to life. Color matching has become an art form, as there are thousands of variations and shades specific to each color code, not to mention the original materials used. Depending on the job at hand there might not be a lot of room for error when it comes to matching up paint for a small repair. Finding the perfect color match can sometimes be daunting, even for the most experienced auto body technician. |
