KT Tape Pro Kinesiology Therapeutic Elastic Athletic Tape Pre-Cut Strips Blue - 20 Strips (Length 6.1 meters)
KTTape Pro
KT-Tape Pro is the new choice for clinicians who demand more out of their kinesiology tape. With 20% more tape per roll and superior adhesive qualities, KT Tape Pro provides exceptional value and quality.
Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape (KT Tape) is a breathable, water-resistant, longitudinally elastic tape that has multiple uses for clinicians such as MDs, PTs, DCs, ATCs as well as many other medical and health care professionals.
KT Tape Pro is Used in virtually every clinical taping application, including:
KT Tape Pro is the new choice for clinicians who demand more out of their kinesiology tape. With 20% more tape per roll and superior adhesive qualities, KT Tape Pro provides exceptional value and quality. KT Tape Pro also includes an advanced Step Frequency (SF) adhesive that is 25% stronger than other brands, providing greater support and durability- even in the water.
KT Tape can be used in techniques and applications of both the white athletic tape and McConnell™ taping by placing the tape on partial or full stretch, though it has several features for additional techniques and benefit. KT tape's construction allows for both more versatile use and longer duration use than other common taping.
Unlike brands that require cutting or are limited to just a single application, KT Tape Pro Pre-cut strips save clinics time and money without limiting your flexibility to use your traditional treatment modalities. The 10? strips easily rip off the roll and can be used as either "I" or "Y" strips without cutting. Clinics report that precut strips work for 90% of the in-clinic applications and that patients feel it is more comfortable to wear.
Kinesiology taping techniques have been used in Asia and Europe for nearly three decades though started becoming popular in the US in the late 1990s. These techniques were more recently seen on the world stage and gained notoriety during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
What is KTTAPE?Next Generation Sports Tape
KT Tape is a revolutionary sports medicine solution for treating and preventing common sports injuries such as ITBS, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, knee pain and more. Ultra-light, elastic, and strong, KT Tape is highly effective at providing pain relief, stability & support, & faster recovery for injured or sore muscles and joints-without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement.
KT Tape is simple to use and easy to apply. Most common injury applications require only two strips of tape, and each box of tape comes with step-by-step instructions. Injury-specific video instructions (1-2 minutes long) for common applications are also available on the KT Tape website.
It's designed for Professional athletes, Olympians, and active people world-wide who take health & fitness seriously and who refuse to stop training, playing, or living life active and free. The design is minimalist, the results are magic.
Technical FeaturesFor years, trends in technical performance gear have generated lighter, faster, and stronger products that free athletes from heavy or bulky gear, providing them with greater range of motion and superior performance. This innovation trend now extends to athletic tape. KT Tape looks simple to the untrained eye, but its tensile strength and durability are the result of considerable engineering and precision in the design and manufacturing of kinesiology tape.
KT Tape is Perfect For Common Sports Injuries:
KT Tape Key Features:
UltraLight MicroFibersKT Tape is made up of reinforced 100% cotton sheathes designed to provide durability and increased strength. These cotton sheathes are embedded into weft yarn to provide uni-directional elasticity- allowing the tape to stretch in length but preventing the tape from stretching in width. These fibers ensure KT Tape will provide stable support without restricting motion.
Matrix WeaveMatrix The Matrix is a mechanical mesh weave designed to provide precisely 140% bilinear elasticity along the length of the tape, and no elasticity in the tape's width. 140% elasticity is critical because it is the same elasticity as human skin. By matching the exact elasticity in skin, and stretching lengthwise, KT Tape flexes and moves comfortably with the body's tissue, releasing and recoiling like a rubber-band.
KT Tape's unique Matrix Mesh also allows for moisture release which is critical for comfort and wear-ability. The more porous the tape's weave, the better it releases moisture caused by sweating or being worn in the water. The design provides more breathability and release of moisture so that it is comfortable to wear for up to five days at a time without itching, irritation or reactions with the skin.
Second-skin AdhesionGo ahead- beat it up, swim with it, wear it on your feet during sand volleyball, or your 100 mile mud run. When it comes to medical adhesive, stronger is not always better. The key to medical adhesive is stick and release: the adhesive must stay on, no matter how punishing the environment, but release when it's peeled off without causing pain and bleeding. The KT Tape product design team spent hundreds of hours in R & D developing the perfectly balanced adhesive- SecondSkin. weaveSecondSkin outperforms lesser quality adhesives in initial tackiness, shear, tensile, and peel strength. It is a latex-free adhesive that is applied in a specialized wave pattern on the back of the tape creating a gentle heat- activated bond to the skin.
The result is superior performance. KT Tape stays on longer, provides greater comfort when worn for 3-5 days, and greater support- especially in the shower or pool. And because SecondSkin is so thermally stable, it will work as well in the winter as it does the summer- so go ahead and clear the ice- because now you're ready for the Polar Plunge.
How Does it Work?KT Tape is applied along muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissue) to provide a lightweight, strong, external support that helps to prevent injury and speed recovery. KT Tape works differently for different injuries. KT Tape can lift and support the knee cap, holding it in place for Runner's Knee. KT Tape can support sagging muscles along the arch of the foot, relieving the connective tissues for Plantar's Fasciitis. And KT Tape can lift the stress off of shin splints to allow pain release and give the body a better opportunity to recover. Depending on how it is applied, KT Tape supports, enables, or restricts soft tissue and its movement. By stretching and recoiling like a rubber band, KT Tape augments tissue function and distributes loads away from inflamed or damaged muscles and tendons, thereby protecting tissues from further injury.
By applying KT Tape over affected tissue, athletes experience an external support which helps to prevent further injury and allows the body's damaged tissue to rest and heal naturally despite continued activity. KT Tape also reduces inflammation and increases circulation which prevents muscle cramping and lactic acid buildup.
Kinesiology tape, treatments, and application techniques have been used by healthcare professionals such as orthopedics, chiropractors, physical therapists, and athletic trainers for over thirty years. KT Tape is the first brand of kinesiology tape ever to be offered to consumers through local sporting goods retailers, and to be widely adopted by healthcare professionals and teams. The development of KT Tape was a highly collaborative effort that included Healthcare Professionals, our Medical Advisory Board, elite and everyday athletes, and our product design engineers. Together they developed the most advanced sports tape ever offered.
Not only is KT Tape the best tape out there, but it's also the least expensive. Thanks to patented manufacturing processes, KT Tape is available for much less than any other brand. We are highly committed to continued innovation so watch for new colors, features, applications, and products in the near future.
Kinesiology what?KT TAPE is an abbreviation for Kinesiology Therapeutic Tape. It is a strong, elastic athletic tape that reduces muscle pain, increases mobility, and enhances athletic performance. KT TAPE is pre-cut so that it is fast and easy to apply. Just tear off a strip and apply it to the injured area. KT TAPE provides relief and support for muscles and joints and can be used to prevent or treat hundreds of sports injuries.

Kerri Walsh
How Kerri Uses KT Tape:Kerri first used kinesiology tape during the 2008 Olympics to support her shoulder and play pain-free after rotator cuff surgery earlier that year. Now she uses KT Tape to continue to stabilize her shoulder after coming back into tournament play following the birth of her first child. It has become an essential part of her game-time equipment.
USA Water Polo
How do they use KT Tape?The USA Water Polo Teams rely on KT Tape to enhance their performance before, during, and after matches. Because KT Tape is waterproof and has a stronger adhesive than other brands, USAWP Teams can trust KT Tape to stay in place even during the toughest competitions. Water polo players use KT Tape particularly often in the shoulder area.
Mike Bridges
Strongest Man in the World Trains with KT Tape
How Mike Uses the Tape:Mike finds that KT Tape not only relieves pain, but allows him to train at a higher level than ever before! With the help of KT Tape on his lower back and arms, he has smashed through more world records.
Tape Like A Pro
Healthcare professionals have been teaching patients for years how to apply kinesiology tape themselves. Don't be afraid to jump in and just go for it the first time you try and tape youself. It generally takes 3 or 4 times to get comfortable with taping before you'll be taping like the pro's.
Recommended Storage Instructions
To maintain optimal performance, KT TAPE should be stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated place. Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures (above 95 degrees Fahrenheit) and or high humidity (above 65%). Best performance if used within 1 year of purchase.
KT tape can be used to create pressure over ligaments and tendons for improved proprioception and dynamic stability. This also has been theorized to stimulate mechanoreceptors thus improving proprioception. Diagnoses for these techniques include — ankle sprains, medial and lateral ligament sprains of the knee and patella tendonitis among many other applications.
KT taping can also be used for functional correction that is assisting or limiting a motion through sensory stimulation and tactile cueing. Applications include position-and-hold technique and work very well for diagnoses which include patellofemoral dysfunction, subacromial impingement due to scapula/postural dysfunction.
KT tape also has elastic properties which mimic elasticity of human skin and these elastic qualities can be used to cue or assist the movements such as with the use of dropfoot or loss of muscle tone as well as rotator cuff insufficiency. KT tape's elasticity can also be used for fascial repositioning or correction. This can be applied to such diagnoses as lateral epicondylitis and iliotibial band issues.
KT tape has also demonstrated reduction of pain through tactile stimulation possibly utilizing the gate control theory of the pain and has been sighted in studies as being effective for acute cervicalgia. Kinesiology taping techniques have also been used as a lymphatic assist by creating areas of decreased pressure to direct exudates to the nearest lymphatic duct in theory. This has been shown to reduce ecchymosis after initial muscle strain of impact injury as well as reducing edema in extremities.
To maintain optimal performance, KT TAPE PRO should be stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated place. Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures (above 95 degrees Fahrenheit) and or high humidity (above 65 degrees Fahrenheit). Best performance if used within 1 year of purchase.

We've been using Tube and pipe for a few months now, and still working through the quirks and tricks for producing a stable route. One problem however as more users are starting to use T&P is when in the top level T&P assembly they are dragging on a route and not always aware they have done so - this can result in the route being rotated fractions of a degree or moved fraction of mm and causing no end of confusion and frustration later on trying to diagnose and fix. Is there a way to 'lock' a route in place so it cannot be dragged in the top level?
Have tried switching off adaptivity in the iProperties of 'Tube & Pipe Runs' assembly, but this usually switches back on automatically. One user had a problem where the included geometry (taken from the x,y,z axes) had also moved and had to be deleted and redone - Wouldn't have thought anything based on the x,y,z axes should move?
Any thoughts?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've had a lot of frustration with this as well. I think Autodesk need to look at this. When a route is "connected" to a starting point... that should act as a constraint which, at the top level, hold the route firmly in place. But since actual assembly constraints are not used to fix a pipe route inside the Tube & Pipe environment, I think the top level sees it as under constrained and allows dragging. The route WILL pop back into place when you let go... but some of the route's members can be messed up or rotated by this. I fought with this all day yesterday.
Please use .Accept as Solution &Kudos to further enhance the value of these forums. Thank you!
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to justify to my bosses the use of tube and pipe as they only seem to home in on the bad things i.e.. complete routes going wrong, additional fittings appearing that cannot be deleted - just 2 examples. 'Most' things are down to user error and can be sorted with a little tinkering. It would be so simple if one could constrain from the Tube and Pipe environment to the top level environment - we have tried placing skeletal geometry to constrain the first placed fittings for example, but of course you can't do this unless the geometry is placed at each Pipe Run. We don't have geometry to constrain to such as pumps, tanks etc in the top level as most of our piping assemblies are stand-alone manifolds tied into a pipeline. The piping assemblies and structural assemblies are always seperate and placed into an overall assembly.
BTW my models don't always jump back into place, even after rebuild all...!
Any further suggestions welcome...
Sounds like we structure things similarly. I don't know what you did before Tube & Pipe, but I can tell you it is worlds better than assembling all of these things with standard assembly constraints. Like you mentioned, a lot of the problems (at least here) are usuallu user errors, and practice helps a lot. We still run into some funky stuff, but I'd never go back now. Same with Frame Generator, takes some work, but I'll never look back.
Please use .Accept as Solution &Kudos to further enhance the value of these forums. Thank you!
Yes - miles better - we used frame generator with bespoke pipe sizes prior to T&P, other projects are still doing this and we are seen either as taking a big risk, where other people have tried and failed or pioneering and being watched with interest! Either way I intend to soldier on and try establish some kinda workflow!
It might be we try throwing some dummy 'connecting' flanges attached to a skeletal model (as BOM reference) into the top level and try routing from these, what you think?
To all... Are you constraining the pipe route to included geo and/or work planes in the model? Meaning does the entire route have the same color? If not the route has the ability to flex around each node. Which causes the route to rotate and move at those points if edited.
The undocumented rule is... Inventor will always try to apply for each route segment a parallel and perpendicular constraints to the previous two route segments. If this can not be done... The route color changes where it fails and the rest of the route will have some degree of freedom to move.
If you apply the correct constraints (to included geo and/work planes) to the 2nd route segment (in most cases since it has turns 90 degrees and only a perpendicular constraint can be applied) you can locked it down when the entire route color changes to be the same. The key here... The route segments must always be the same color. If not then you have a route that can float. However keep in mind... Applying those constraints to the route segment is not always straight forward. A lot of times you will get the message the constraint can not be applied (so dont get frustrated when doing this). Also I am recommended that all auto-routes be converted to sketches and the constraints applied to it.
Though this will help somewhat in keeping someone from dragging pipe runs iat the upper levels... I tell my users before routing pipe,constrain the origin planes together from the run sub-assembly to the top assembly.
Hope that helps...
We've been constraining to origin x,y,z axes which locks down the individual routes fairly well.
I've noted what you said about constraining origin planes together from sub assemblies to upper and top assemblies - can't believe I missed that, but that's exactly what is required to stop the runs being dragged in the top assembly, as long as each run is constrained to the 'Tube and Pipe' assembly which is in turn constrained to the top level. Most excellent!
Thanks for your help...
Well, dang.... that's so simple, you would think that would have been chapter one in the tutorials!
Please use .Accept as Solution &Kudos to further enhance the value of these forums. Thank you!
We've had nothing but joy with Tube & Pipe since we started using it 3 years ago. It's so wonderful to have instability with the styles and content center integration. We've loved trying to get our sketches to run properly only to have it fail every time. Our company has loved the many many hours of rework we've had to do as a result of the constant file corruption issues. Such a great tool!

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

Combining filters using Isotope jQuery plugin
I'm working on a site in Wordpress that uses the Isotope jQuery plugin as part of the theme. This allows a bunch of items to be displayed dependent on their values, and, in theory, dependent on a combination of values.
Here is an example from the plugin author: http://jsfiddle.net/desandro/pJ6W8/31/
However, within the theme I'm using it's only possible to sort by one value at a time eg height or weight - but not - height and weight.
Here's a mockup of where I'm using it: snaprockandpop.samcampsall.co.uk/shoots/
I've got quite a long way in implementing multiple filters as it's now possible to make two different selectors active, but these aren't applied to the content - i.e. the items aren't filtered. Here's the code I'm using:
$('.ql_filter a').click(function(){ var $this = $(this); if ( $this.hasClass('selected') ) { return; } var $optionSet = $this.parents('.filter_list'); $optionSet.find('.active').removeClass('active'); $this.addClass('active'); var group = $optionSet.attr('data-filter-group'); filters[ group ] = $this.attr('data-filter'); var isoFilters = []; for ( var prop in filters ) { isoFilters.push( filters[ prop ] ) } var selector = isoFilters.join(''); $container.isotope({ filter: selector }); return false; });
Can anyone give me a pointer as to where I'm going wrong? This is pretty much my first real attempts at coding and I think I'm really close! Thanks

Wow! Appaled at advice our agent gave me!
Ok, so we have a minor setback with our home purchase. It could probably have been avoided with better timing, but well.. what are you going to do.
Long story short: Our Landlords approached us with a lease renewal. (Our lease said month to month after 1 year, so we were stupid in assuming this was the case) We told them we were house hunting and asked if they would work with us. They said no, 1 year or 30 days to leave. (Which my lawyer friend said was completely within their rights) Knowing we couldn't even close in 30 days (and we still haven't found a house yet! We had nobody we could stay with, so we signed. Having a roof over your head is #1 priority.)
So I had to tell our agent. He had called me while we were trying to hash out this issue with our LLs about a house he was listing he thought we would love. (Funny it was the first house he actually found for us, and he was listing it!) I told him I would let him know in a couple days, and that there was potentially an issue.
So I called him to tell him and this is what he told me to do: Well, I think you guys would really love this house. And we could push it through closing, in 6 weeks. You could stay and let them start the eviction process on you, but you'd be out in 2 weeks so it wouldn't even matter.
I was FLOORED. My husband was MAD! First of all, what if we didn't like this house? It was a little bit out of our area and gave me a 45 min drive to work which I didn't like. 2nd, what if the FHA inspector found something that needed fixed and that pushed back closing? Then what were we supposed to do?!
I will not be working with this agent again when we start looking in about 6 months or so!
Would any other agents out there say this to their clients?! I'm pretty sure an eviction goes against you, doesn't it? Like on your credit?
And he still has not gotten us our earnest money we put down on a house the FHA kicked, and that was over a month ago!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Alleria,
Did you write to the lawyer, title company/escrow officer or other escrow holder demanding the return of your deposit?
Well, what I had to do for him was to get a "turn down" letter from our lender and send it to him. He also had us sign a paper that he said he presented to the listing agent to give to the seller of the house to sign. This was all done within a week of the FHA declining the house.
We have been told for the last 3 weeks anytime we ask about the money, "the check was mailed. I'll look into that."
So they had both parties execute escrow cancellation instructions to document their file.
You can check (online) your state's deadline for returning escrow deposits. It's possibly 30 days with penalties and interest accruing thereafter.
It sounds like the escrow holder is managing the float and you'll probably receive it slightly before the deadline. That's only my guess, however, from the information you provided.
You might want to begin communicating in writing, starting with a friendly fax, retaining the transmission receipt. You can forward a certified letter and request a return receipt, if/when they miss the deadline.
WRT your other issues, I agree with you about a possible eviction. I'd take my time and find the right property. Interest rates remain relatively low, even though they've gone up slightly.
It's all IMHO - best of luck with everything!This message has been edited. Last edited by: SurfNow,
Thank you!
I came home today and low and behold the check was FINALLY in the mail!! It kind of makes me feel like he was delaying getting this to us to keep us working with him.
The check was dated 8/16 which was Friday, the day I told him about the issue with our landlords.
Oh well. Live and learn.
We are going to use the next 6 months to add to our savings.
Sounds like a terrific strategy, Alleria!
BTW, if you're still around, your posts made it sound as if the refund check was actually cut by the realtor/broker. IME, the realtor transmits the initial deposit check to a title company or other escrow company. If the escrow's cancelled, the refund is transmitted by the escrow holder. Just curious -
Again, I'm happy the matter's resolved. So much easier than having to deal with the demand letter process.
Best of luck with your future home search!
Yes, the check was cut to us by the realtor/broker.
I'm not sure exactly what happened but, after we signed the release papers for the house the FHA kicked, we put an offer in on another house about a week and a half later. They used our deposit from the 1st house. Well the offer was never accepted on the 2nd house.
The check we got back, had the address of the 2nd house on it. So I have no idea. I'm just glad it's all squared away, LOL.
Don't know what state you're in but that's unusual to me. (I've been responsible for/completed transactions in multiple states.)
Typically, IME, any escrow refund check would be cut and forwarded to you by a title company, lawyer or other escrow holder. The funds wouldn't pass through an agent/broker's accounts.
In cashier's check form, the funds would be readily available, e.g. for your 2nd escrow/offer. Not sure I'd be comfortable with that procedure, going forward. Anyway, good luck!
Hope you end up with the home of your dreams!

SLDC-run car parks in Kendal raise £1M a year or £1,000 a space, meeting hears
Updated 3:46pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Ellis Butcher, Reporter
COUNCIL-run car parks in Kendal generate £1 million a year in revenue - a meeting has heard today.
Every single SLDC-owned car parking space in the town is estimated to be worth £1,000 a year to the authority, councillors were told.
The figures were revealed as SLDC's ruling Lib Dem cabinet met today and agreed major changes to level three of South Lakeland House car park, which is next to its Kendal headquarters.
It is opening up level three of the car to the public seven days a week from April to raise £15,000 in parking charges.
Spaces previously reserved for high-ranking councillors will go along with others used by its senior management team.
Instead, they will be given access cards to park in the multi-storey of the Westmorland Shopping Centre.
SLDC leader Peter Thornton will lose his dedicated parking place under the plan but said he was happy to walk from the shopping centre.
Councillors attending meetings may also have to start parking at the shopping centre if they cannot find a place on one of the three levels at South Lakeland House, which on full council nights will be kept open longer.
Jim Maguire, SLDC's community and leisure manager, explained that under the new arrangements, there would be no reserved parking at South Lakeland House for councillors on meeting days.
However, there would be six visitor places for any member with mobility issues, which could be booked in advance.
Councillor Peter Thornton explained that all 51 councillors on SLDC were entitled to a parking pass which allowed them to park on any SLDC-run car park - provided they were on council business.
They could also pay £20 for a card which gave access to the Westmorland Shopping Centre car park when on council business - although they had to pay £90 if they wanted to use the card privately.
Coun Thornton said: "My private space, which I love and cherish, will go. I will have no priority over anyone. South Lakeland House car park is inefficiently used at a time when people are looking for places in town."
Considering whether councillors could be late for meetings or get wet on rainy days, Coun Thornton said: "Well, that's what everybody else in Kendal has to do."
A senior Lib Dem on the authority broke ranks with the ruling Cabinet and called for the decision to be deferred.
Coun Andy Shine, partially-sighted, and speaking in his capacity as chairman of the council's overview and scrutiny committee, called for the decision to be decided by all the authority's 51 councillors at a full meeting, rather than the seven member Cabinet.
"Why is Cabinet considering this item today before (full) council has? It seems it doesn't have the authority," said Coun Shine, who said he was concerned about protocol.
Coun Shine was told by Debbie Storr, the council's deputy chief executive, that the issue could be decided by the Cabinet alone.
Presenting the issue, Coun Giles Archibald, portfolio holder for town centres and small business, said the proposal had raised 'considerable criticism' - implying this was mainly from other councillors.
He said level three of South Lakeland House was under used while car parks across Kendal were at full capacity - apart from the Westmorland Shopping Centre.
"What we have in Kendal is a situation where the car parks are at or beyond capacity," said Coun Archibald. "What that means is people won't come into town or drive around looking for a car parking space.
"All we are doing is making this popular car park available to people who want to come in and visit Kendal," said Coun Archibald.
Conservative Tom Harvey said with increased traffic likely to be using South Lakeland House, he hoped that some investment could be made in the turning into the car park from Lowther Street; which he described as an 'accident waiting to happen'.
After the meeting, SLDC moved to clarify that the £1 million mentioned did not include the running costs for car parks which was £500,000 a year and included maintenance, repairs and staffing.

Lakeuk says...
When a few hours parking in the majority of SLDC car parks costs up to £4, it doesn't seem like SLDC's car parks are getting used that much.
You would of thought that a good management strategy should be to maximise usage during daylight hours from both shoppers, visitors and local workers, Being optimistic a starting target for a management strategy could be getting 6hrs usage out of each parking place Monday to Saturday. If the charges today were to stand then the £1000 per space would rise to between £1500-£2000 (£4.30-£6 per day), reality is this wouldn't work at current parking charge rates, but it does highlight that it should be perfectly possible to reduce parking charges and maintain the current income levels with lower prices attracting more usage.
I wonder whether when Cumbria County Council start up their car parks and on street parking whether they will undercut what SLDC charges.

Sports editor's smiles ruined by Kingston miles
2:17pm Thursday 27th March 2014 in Sport By Stuart Amos
It might have been all smiles at the start, but it was certainly all grimaces at the finish line.
I have to say 87.5 per cent of Sunday's 8.2-mile Breakfast Run was very enjoyable – the last 12.5 per cent was the problem.
Having settled in to a steady nine-and-a-half-minute-mile pace at the start, it proved a lovely morning to chat with fellow athletes on the way down the River Thames towpath.
I even had the time and energy to chat with former London Wasps rugby player and current Old Blues rugby coach Buster White on the way round, as he prepared for a crack at the London marathon.
Turning back towards Kingston from Hampton Court bridge was an altogether different prospect.
By mile six I was clock watching and by the seventh it was simply a case of making sure I got over the finish line.
A time of one hour 19 minutes 59 seconds meant I was not lapped by 16.2-mile race winner Michael Skinner and secured a finishing position of 749th out of more than 1,000 athletes who took on the shorter distance – a respectable effort given the lack of training.
This Human Race event is in my diary for next year and the sub-one hour mark is there for the taking.

ARLINGTON, Va. —
Karell said the library has just received additional money for the program and plans to buy more dolls. She said the library staff also hopes that community members will eventually donate dolls that are no longer played with.
"We don't want it to be such a long time to wait for the dolls that it would be discouraging," Karell said.
News of the lending program has prompted some library patrons to check out the books, which the library has had in its collection for years.
"Our whole goal is to get people into the library," Karell said. "This is a way to connect kids with books and with history."

This issue is understood and will be addressed when the ship goes into dry dock at the end of the season.

GII conducts research on how to improve our response to crime problems and homeland security threats, both foreign and domestic. Geospatial and other forms of tactical information are used to develop information management techniques. Employing a cross-disciplinary and multiagency approach, GII seeks to help law enforcement, intelligence, and military agencies build more powerful investigative and analytic tools. Computer modeling based on human behavioral theories help extract knowledge from data in order to better connect the dots in environments of information overload and uncertain threat.
Dr. Rossmo recently completed a study on the geographic features associated with illegal land border crossings in Texas. Border control is a crucial component of national security, but the length of the U.S. border poses a significant operational challenge. He will be extending this research to focus on American citizens who engage in such activity, many of whom are drug smugglers. He has also been involved in analyses of the foraging patterns of Great White sharks off the coast of South Africa, bats in Scotland, and bees in England. These studies provide a better understanding of animal behavior, and may have epidemiological applications in the response to such diseases as malaria and dengue. Currently, he is leading two large research projects examining applications of geographic profiling to counterterrorism threat detection and the military investigation of insurgent attacks in urban environments. In his spare time he is writing a book entitled Criminal Investigative Failures, and his two-part article on this topic was recently published by the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin.

The area is mostly exposed and being in Wyoming, the weather can go from great one second and crappy the next, and the area is usually pretty windy.The area usually has a few people there, mainly there for the lake that this area borders.There will be more people closer to the water, and less people going further away from the water and up the small hill close by. The rock type is a mix of super crumbly red and white sandstone, limestone, and this really weird type of rock that is like something took a million little stones, and glued them all together with what looks to be something like concrete, but natural. Mostly bouldering and high balling. There is also a little bit of cliff diving/ deep water soloing. Lots of boulders yet to be established, SO GET OUT THERE AND CLAIM YOURS!
Getting There

The Lost World is a novel released in 1912 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. It was originally published serially in the popular Strand Magazine and illustrated by New Zealand born artist Harry Rountree during the months of April–November 1912. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. The novel also describes a war between indigenous people and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.
Edward Malone, a reporter for the Daily Gazette, goes to his news editor, McArdle, to procure a dangerous and adventurous mission in order to impress the woman he loves, Gladys Hungerton. He is sent to interview Professor George Edward Challenger, who has assaulted four or five other journalists, to determine if his claims about his trip to South America are true. After assaulting Malone, Challenger reveals his discovery of dinosaurs in South America. Having been ridiculed for years, he invites Malone on a trip to prove his story, along with Professor Summerlee, another scientist qualified to examine any evidence, and Lord John Roxton, an adventurer who knows the Amazon and several years prior to the events of the book helped end slavery by robber barons in South America. They reach the plateau with the aid of Indian guides, who are superstitiously scared of the area. One of these Indians, Gomez, is the brother of a man that Roxton killed the last time he was in South America. When the expedition manages to get onto the plateau, Gomez destroys their bridge, trapping them. Their "devoted negro" Zambo remains at the base, but is unable to prevent the rest of the Indians from leaving.
Deciding to investigate the lost world, they are attacked by pterodactyls in a swamp, and Roxton finds some blue clay in which he takes a great interest. After exploring the plateau and having some adventures in which the expedition narrowly escapes being killed by dinosaurs, Challenger, Summerlee, and Roxton are captured by a race of ape-men. While in the ape-men's village, they find out that there is also a tribe of humans (calling themselves Accala) inhabiting the other side of the plateau, with whom the ape-men (called Doda by the Accala) are at war. Roxton manages to escape and team up with Malone to mount a rescue. They arrive just in time to prevent the execution of one of the professors and several other humans, who take them to the human tribe. With their help, they defeat the ape-men, taking control of the whole plateau.
After witnessing the power of their guns, the human tribe does not want the expedition to leave, and tries to keep them on the plateau. However the team finally discovers a tunnel that leads to the outside, where they meet up with Zambo and a large rescue party. Upon returning to England, they present their report which include pictures and a newspaper report by Edward, which many dismiss as they had Challenger's original story. Having planned ahead, Challenger shows them a live pterodactyl as proof, which then escapes and flies out into the Atlantic Ocean. When the four of them have dinner, Roxton shows them why he was so interested in the blue clay. It contains diamonds, about £200,000 worth, to be split between them. Challenger plans to open a private museum, Summerlee plans to retire and categorize fossils, and Roxton plans to go back to the lost world. Malone returns to his love, Gladys, only to find that she had married a clerk while he was away. With nothing keeping him in London, he volunteers to be part of Roxton's second trip.
The TV series Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World is based on this novel. It was produced from 1999 to 2002.
In 1915, the Russian scientist Vladimir Obruchev produced his own version of the "lost world" theme in the novel Plutonia, which places the dinosaurs and other Jurassic species in a fictional underground area of Russian Siberia.
In 1916, Edgar Rice Burroughs published The Land That Time Forgot, his version of The Lost World where lost submariners from a German U-Boat discovered their own lost world of dinosaurs and ape-men near Antarctica. Two other books in the series followed.
Author Greg Bear set his 1998 novel Dinosaur Summer in Conan Doyle's Lost World.
A 1994 release for the Forgotten Futures role-playing game was based on and includes the full text of the Professor Challenger novels and stories.
Conan Doyle's title was reused by Michael Crichton in his 1995 novel The Lost World, a sequel to Jurassic Park. (Its film adaptation, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, followed suit.) At least two similarly named TV shows, Land of the Lost and Lost, nod to this source material. At least two of the characters in Michael Crichton's novel The Lost World mention a palaeontologist called John Roxton. However, Crichton's Roxton, who is never seen, is something of an idiot, wrongly identifying one dinosaur and publishing a report stating that the braincase of Tyrannosaurus rex is the same as that of a frog and thus possesses a visual system attuned strictly to movement.
One of the Neopets plots, "Journey to The Lost Isle" is based on this book, with Roxton A. Colchester III, Hugo & Lillian Fairweather, and Werther as the adventurers, with Captain Rourke and Scrap as the guides.
The idea of prehistoric animals surviving into the present day was not new, but had already been introduced by Jules Verne in Journey to the Center of the Earth. In that book, published in 1864, the creatures live under the earth in and around a subterranean sea.
The book was adapted in Czech comics by Vlastislav Toman/Jiří Veškrna (1970, 24 pages), followed by a sequel The Second Expedition (Vlastislav Toman/František Koblík, 26 pages) (reprinted together in Velká kniha Komiksů, ISBN 80-7257-658-5).
The 2002 animated adventure Dinosaur Island (2002 film) is an attempt to blend the original story with the popular reality series format, and was written by John Loy, writer of similar productions such as The Land Before Time.
The characters of Ed Malone and Lord John Roxton were modeled, respectively, on the journalist E. D. Morel and the diplomat Roger Casement, leaders of the Congo Free State reform campaign (the Congo Reform Association), which Conan Doyle supported.[1]
The setting for The Lost World is believed to have been inspired by reports of Doyle's good friend Percy Harrison Fawcett's expedition to Huanchaca Plateau in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, Bolivia.

Women's Tennis Adds Elizabeth Means to 2012-13 Team
FORT MYERS, Fla. – With the 2012 fall season just a couple months away, the FGCU women's tennis team added some depth to its roster with the signing of incoming freshman Elizabeth Means (Wesley Chapel, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch HS).
"We are tremendously excited about Elizabeth joining our team," said fourth-year head coach Jennifer Gabou. "She is a top notch player and excellent student. I am looking forward to seeing her out on the courts joining her sister Sarah in some doubles action and will have an immediate impact on our team."
Coming to the team in August as an incoming freshman, Means joins the Green and Blue after a solid high school career at Wiregrass Ranch, where she won a Florida Class 3A State doubles title with her sister Sarah Means (Wesley Chapel, Fla./Wiregrass Ranch HS) in 2011. In 2012, Means won two rounds at the Jacksonville Clay Court Championships and a singles champion at the Helen Drake Invitational in Miramar Beach. She also was a doubles finalist at the National Clay Court Championship in Fort Lauderdale.
"Florida Gulf Coast University has excellent academic programs that I wanted to be a part of and I wanted to be a part of their top women's tennis team," said Means. "The coaches, Jennifer Gabou and Joey Barnes are very encouraging to their players. They prepare the team for ultimate success on the court as well as off the court. I believe in the work ethic of the team and I feel I can grow my game under their leadership."
The Green and Blue earned a No. 3 seed in their first-ever 2012 A-Sun Championships and defeated Jacksonville (4-2) in the quarterfinals. The Eagles ended their run with a lost to host ETSU (4-1) in the semifinals.
Sarah Means was named to the A-Sun All-Conference second team and selected to the All-Freshmen team. Sophomore Bettina Botha (Cape Town, South Africa/DeKuilen HS) and junior Morgan Bechtel (Toledo, Ohio/St. Ursula Academy) were honored as All-Academic team members with Botha being a unanimous selection. FGCU returns five of its six starters in the singles lineup in hopes of a return trip to the A-Sun Championships next season.

In the final episode South African's favourite FMX son takes us into his workshop and gives some insights into the serious DIY it takes to keep 110kg two-wheeled machine flying on song.
In Episode 2 out of this 3 part series South African FMX star Nick de Wit discusses the evolution of FMX tricks by traveling back to 2003, when the first backflip was landed and the race between the riders began. But who will land the trick next?
After that the top riders began training their regular tricks, "just" upside down and from then, the evolution of the sport never stopped. With freestyle heading down that path, the risk of injuries became higher and the importance of fitness, to avoid injuries, played a bigger role.
A sold-out crowd of 22,000 at Pretoria's historic Union Buildings cheered as an emotional Josh Sheehan was crowned the winner of history's 50th Red Bull X-Fighters event, as well as the 2014 World Tour Champion. The Australian continued the momentum he had built all year, giving a dominant performance at the first-ever World Tour final ever held in Africa. Record starter Dany Torres (ESP) claimed second place in Pretoria, with US rider Adam Jones in third.
In the dramatic season's final tally, Levi Sherwood (NZL) earned second place in the World Tour standings, and Dany Torres from Spain finished in third.
Check out the sixth installment of #WhipitWednesday, where we showcase the best riders from around the world and right here in our own backyard, throwing the sickest whips you've ever seen!
Want Freerider MX to feature you? Read on to see how you can be the star of #WHIPITWEDNESDAY!
The first stop of the 2014 Global Ride On Tour took us to Krusic's Ride Park in Australia. Jeff Emig, Blake "Bilko" Williams, Cam Sinclair, Cheyne Boyd, and Dylan Long rode with fans, signed autographs, and put on one hell of a show. Stay tuned for the upcoming stops later this year in Chile, and Glamis, CA.
This week we caught up with one of the top up and comer freestyle riders in Australia to bring you our 5th feature "Freerider MX FMX Insight". We sat down with Jake Holloway to see what he has been up to recently.
Aussie Adrenaline are on the road to Boulia, Queensland and are set the blow the minds out of the FMX deprived locals at the annual drag racing event. Ash has bought along some of Australia's finest Freestyle riders, Chucky Norris, Joel Brown and Luke McNeill. Ash from Aussie Adrenaline is stoked to bring his films to life at this FMX event. If you're in or around Boulia on the 16th of August be sure to head down and see the boys throw down.
Episode 1 out of this 3 part series introduces South African FMX star Nick de Wit by traveling back in time to showcase how he became one of the best FMX rider on the planet. Find out how he got into riding dirtbikes as a kid and why the KTM rider switched from Motocross to Freestyle Motocross. Get to know his riding buddies and see what his compound in South Africa has to offer.
Metal Mulisha rider Jackson Strong broke the backflip distance world record. Over 180,000 fans checked out the three day festival and many of them watched Strong as he back flipped his Rockstar Energy backed Yamaha YZ 250 144.94 ft to secure the backflip distance record with ease.
Pretoria, South Africa - After four energy charged events all over the globe, the 2014 Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour is ready for its series finale in South Africa. Red Bull has released the list of riders that will jump for a podium spot in front of thousands of South African fans on August 23rd and with Levi Sherwood and Josh Sheehan locked in a battle for the overall championship, you will not want to miss Pretoria.

Project: PIC 4-Digit 99 Minute Timer
I'd like to present a relatively simple 4-digit 99 minute timer project. The low parts count design is a result of experiments with some very bright miniature 4-digit displays available from Sparkfun that come in red, green, yellow, white (all $1.95), and blue ($2.50) colors.
In addition to the Digital 99 Minute Timer presented here, the circuit design, with minor modifications, might support several other projects, including, but not limited to;
() Digital Voltage Monitor
() Digital Thermometer
() Digital Thermostat
() Repeating On/Off Interval Timer
() Digital Alarm Clock
() Digital Clock/Calendar/Alarm/Timer
() Digital Stopwatch
() Digital RPM Indicator
You'll need a programmer of some sort to program the PIC16F1828 device and you'll also need a regulated 5 Vdc power source to power the circuit. You'll also need a simple transistor, opti-isolator, SSR (Solid State Relay IC), or similar driver circuit which will take its input from the active high output signal on the RA2 pin. The output circuit you choose depends on what you need to drive (relay, etc.)
The wiring diagram shows several components that are not required for the 99 Minute Timer application. Specifically, you don't need to install the crystal and capacitors in the oscillator block and you don't need to install the two discrete 'A' and 'B' LEDs for this particular project.
The little 4-digit displays are so bright that I decided to drive them one segment at a time (1/32nd duty cycle) directly from the PIC16F1828 I/O pins (no column/digit driver transistors). Due to the low duty cycle, I omitted current limiting resistors for the cathode segments, relying instead on 250 ohms combined RDS(ON) resistance of the I/O pin FET drivers inside of the PIC (about 150 ohms for a high-side 'sourcing' FET driver and about 100 ohms for a low-side 'sinking' FET driver).
While the circuit supports any color display, please note that the red, green, and yellow displays have a VF of 2.1 volts, while the white display is 3.1 volts, and the blue display is 3.4 volts. This means that while the blue and white displays are bright and easily visible in a brightly lighted room, the red, green, and yellow displays are a bit brighter. I hope to add a software PWM brightness control to a future version of the program.
Parts List
1 ea. PIC16F1828-I/P (DIP package) 1 ea. 0.1-uf (100nf) ceramic capacitor 1 ea. 10 kOhm, 1/8th watt carbon film resistor 4 ea. 1N914 or 1N4148 silicon switching diode 1 ea. Sparkfun COM-09481 Blue Common Anode 4-Digit Display 4 ea. generic momentary contact switch 1 ea. Soberton GT111P Piezo Speaker Misc. sockets, connectors, prototype circuit boardSelect All
The attached HEX file can be used directly with a PICKIT2 or PICKIT3 to program the PIC16F1828 device. The program was written using the free/lite version of BoostC from Sourceboost. While you can use the Sourceboost IDE (Integrated Development Environment), I chose the option to install BoostC into the MPLAB IDE. The program uses packed BCD "minutes" and "seconds" variables and the code to increment and decrement those variables may look a little strange to some programmers.
The <SET> switch is used to toggle between "set" and "run" modes. Press <SET> to enter "set" mode and the "minutes" display group will flash at a 2-Hz rate. While in "set" mode the <Rt> arrow key is used to toggle between the "minutes" and the "seconds" display group and the <Up> and <Dn> arrow switches are used to increment or decrement the value of the current flashing display group. The "minutes" display group will rollover from 99 to 0 or from 0 to 99 and the "seconds" display group will rollover from 59 to 0 or from 0 to 59. The <Up> and <Dn> arrow switches will repeat when held down. Press <SET> again to exit "set" mode and enter "run" mode (display stops flashing). In "run" mode you press the <Rt> arrow switch to start or stop the Timer. An active high signal is available on the RA2 pin when the Timer is running. While the Timer is running and counting down, the <SET> switch, the <Up> switch, and the <Dn> switch are disabled. Those switches are still sampled and debounced in the interrupt service routine and you'll still hear a "new press" beep when you press one of them but they're ignored and cleared by the logic in the program. If you have any questions, please ask...

|The Following User Says Thank You to MMcLaren For This Useful Post:
What replaces the crystal oscillator? If you add the crystal and 2 capacitors, do they take over the timing function? If they do, is it more accurate?
I may take the time to make a PCB for this design. If I do I will publish it here. I will get with you off line.

That would be great - but ... a PCB would be of somewhat limited usefulness unless any individual using it would want to come up with their own gamma correction PWM scheme, unless you would also care to publish yours.
As it stands now, without such a scheme, there is no current limiting on the 7-segment LED display, so both the PIC and the display would be operating at far higher current than their ratings. I suggest that it would be quite challenging for a beginning programmer to come up with a suitable gamma corrected pwm scheme in time to prevent the display or PIC I/O pins from burning out.
It might be a good idea to leave optional provisions for resistors on the board.

Something I learned in the last couple of years, with CMOS operating at low voltage (which 5V qualifies) you don't need current limiting, the CMOS transistors do it just fine by themselves. The low voltage on the power supply is critical though, but this works well on CMOS 555's and 4017s. The clock project I am working on for the next submission also uses this.
The key is the power supply voltage though, it must be low.
Goes to my tag line, it is good enough.

Hi Sarge,
I understand your concerns but they may not be relevant. I'm using the RDS(ON) resistance of the PIC I/O pin FET drivers for current limiting. If you get a chance, could you test the circuit? I could write a version of the program for the 16F690, if that would help. Anyway, I'd be delighted if you could show me how to get more than the 30-mA "peak" current spec for those RED displays using "direct drive" from a pair of PIC I/O pins which have a combined RDS(ON) resistance of approximately 250-ohms (VDD = 5 vdc).
As for adding software brightness control... I have it working on an example (assembly language) Clock/Calendar/Alarm/Timer program but it will be a while before I can add that brightness control code to the 99 Minute Timer (C) program. I suspect there are many people who will just duplicate the project but for those few that want to study the code, I'm taking extra time to convert my assembly language code to C because I feel C code may be easier to understand.
Cheerful regards, Mike

is that what you count on for buzzer too? listed part number is rated for only 1.4..2V
No, the buzzer is piezo device. There are many devices like these that can be overvoltaged safely, as long as some common sense is use. It is fundamentally a high impedance device, and draws almost no current.

FYI: I just added a 32.768 kHz watch crystal (and capacitors) to the circuit and initial tests indicate it's working great. This is the first time I've ever used a 32.768 kHz crystal and the low power Timer 1 oscillator module.
I don't have a new 99-Minute Timer program that uses the crystal time-base yet but here's my first "test" program that I used to verify that (1) I could initialize TMR1OSC correctly, (2) poll the TMR1IF flag correctly, and (3) preload TMR1 registers correctly for precise one second or half second overflows;

This newbie would love to do it!
I really like projects like this where I get something useful, have fun making it, and learn about electronics.
(e.g., I just learned that sometimes you don't need current limiting resistors in line with LED's if you don't supply too much voltage, and have other semiconductors in line - posts 5 and 6 - thanks!)
The potential use for other projects is also VERY interesting.
I'll add it to my long "to make" list.
Thanks very much for the post.
