BIG RIG RESCUE offered
September 11/12, 2010
A permanent site for the BRR course is established on the campus of Central Carolina Community College in Sanford (Lee County) North Carolina.
The site features a new classroom and hands-on facilities. Casualties to be used during the hands-on training include 2 loaded concrete mixers, a tanker trailer, a van trailer, 2 school buses, bobtail tractors, mid-range trucks, and autos and more.
Training will be very challenging, both mentally and physically. Attendees are kept to a minimum to ensure MAXIMUM HANDS-ON!
You will face very challenging yet realistic scenarios including: loaded concrete mixer overturn onto a smaller vehicle, fully loaded van trailer overturn onto an auto, bobtail tractor underride, mixer vs. car in ditch, and MUCH MORE. Come, learn, and test your new knowledge and skills! You WILL NOT be disappointed!
The featured presenter will be Billy Leach, Jr. Billy is recognized as the Developer and Sr. Presenter of BIG RIG RESCUE, and presented at the FDIC, Firehouse Magazines Expo, FDNYs Technical Rescue School, and many other venues.
This program will feature two days of both classroom and HANDS-ON learning. Attendance is based upon first-come, first served and is very limited to ensure MAXIMUM HANDS-ON. An extensive handout is provided for reference to attendees.
A very minimal cost per person is being assessed, which covers the course cost, handout, injury insurance, and other materials. The course will begin promptly at 0730 each day at CCCC Emergency Services Training Center, located at 3000 Airport Rd., Sanford, NC 27330.
What can you expect?
The comprehensive classroom session will provide detailed information for the topics of:
Timber Cribbing/Strut Support Operations
The 5 Step Discipline for Overturns/Underrides
Winching/Rigging Gear
The hands-on training offers challenges to small teams in a time compressed format, similar to everyday responses. It will be both mentally and physically challenging! Each team is expected to develop a plan of action and execute that plan within a specified time period. Should the initial plan prove unsuccessful, the team is expected to develop an alternate and continue the mission. Careful planning, critical thinking, utilization of classroom learning, and prompt plan execution will be paramount for success.
Future dates for BRR training can been found at www.cccc.edu/BRR and follow the links to the Emergency Services Training Center (ESTC) schedule. Do not delay!
Attendees are expected to furnish the following (without exception):
Helmet with chinstrap
Full length fire retardant protective clothing
Safety glasses or goggles meeting Z87.1+ (helmet shields are insufficient)
Gloves meeting NFPA Std for Technical Rescue or Firefighting
Protective footgear with impact resistant toe cap

A photography masterclass with Steve McCurry
November 20, 2012
by Steve McCurry
View profile
Internationally recognised as one of the finest image-makers of a generation, Steve McCurry began his extraordinary career over thirty years ago, smuggled into Afghanistan to cover the civil war. A recipient of the Robert Capa Gold Medal and an unprecedented four World Press Photo first prizes in a single year; many of McCurry's images have since become modern icons.
To coincide with the launch of his new book, The Iconic Photographs, published by Phaidon Press this autumn, Steve McCurry will be discussing his craft for one exclusive evening with Guardian and Observer journalist Sean O'Hagan. Through a mixture of presentation, interview and Q&A, he will offer insight into photojournalism and capturing the iconic image.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to hear first-hand from the master of evocative colour photography and get to grips with his techniques. Beautiful, uplifting and affecting, McCurry's images present fascinating stories of human experience.

General Guidelines
- Avoid specific eating and drinking habits.
- Quit smoking.
- After eating, wait to lie down.
- After eating, wait to exercise.
- Don't wear tight clothes or belts.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
Avoid Specific Eating and Drinking Habits
To help manage your GERD symptoms, try to avoid eating large meals or eating too fast.
Other ways to manage GERD symptoms include:
Avoiding certain foods such as:
- High-fat foods
- Spicy foods
- Citrus fruits
- Tomato-based products
- Chocolate
- Mint
Avoiding certain beverages such as:
- Alcohol
- Caffeinated drinks
- Carbonated drinks
Quit Smoking
Smoking cigarettes weakens the lower esophageal sphincter. Stopping smoking can help reduce GERD symptoms.
After Eating, Wait to Lie Down
After eating meals, wait at least 2-3 hours before lying down. This may lessen reflux by giving the stomach time to empty.
After Eating, Wait to Exercise
Exercise or strenuous activity immediately after eating can cause stomach acid to reflux into the esophagus. Wait at least 2-3 hours after eating to exercise.

SEO - Search Engine Optimization Or Search Experience Optimization?
SEO is not link building, not alone link building. Oh yeah, many do ask...I want my site to be SEO'ed. How many links do we require to rank top. Still many do not understand what's actually going on with SEO.
To the people who understand what actually SEO is...to them...it is Search Engine Optimization and to the people who don't understand what SEO is...to them...it is Search Experience Optimization.
Search Experience Optimization deals with many factors. First of all users experience have to be considered. Here are the lists of factors by importance,
• Site load speed
• Relevant information or products based on the search query.
• Overall quality content to reduce bounce rate.
• Fresh content without typos or grammatical errors. This increases time spent on the site and as well controls bounce rate.
• Relevant internal links.
• User interaction information related to services or products.
• Search Engine friendly website structure, SEF URL's, canonical, relevant file name for images, unique title and Meta related to page content.
• Details like testimonials, news release and contact address improves trust ability and increases returning visitors & referrals.
• Social signals through bookmarking
• Finally back links from relevant sites i.e. link popularity.
Google & Bing algorithms have hundreds of signals to evaluate the site for ranking. Different elements of the above mentioned points will help to meet those hundreds of search engine signals which leads to search experience optimization.

The data were derived in support of NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program goals. Goal 1 is to map all U.S. Coral Reef Ecosystems. This data set specifically addresses Objective 1 and 4: to develop high-resolution benthic maps and to characterize priority deep water reefs and associated habitats. This derivative of bathymetry provides a GIS layer that may be used for benthic and essential fish habitat characterization, and for the study of geologic features. By combining the dataset with bathymetry, backscatter, other derivatives, and in situ data, they collectively compose benthic habitat maps which are designed to be used to understand and predict moderate depth (~20m - 150m) benthic habitats for different organisms that inhabit coral reef ecosystems.
Data are collected for resource management and research purposes and are tested for internal consistency; however, no effort is made to compare these data to external references or to other published data.

- Where do you source your target lists? What are the associated costs? There are three kinds of lists: 1) House—You've developed this through your marketing efforts. You send to it periodically if these people haven't converted to customers. 2) Purchased—You acquire these lists through such companies as Zoominfo or Data.com. You execute campaigns to these lists through your own infrastructure. 3) Rented—Similar to purchased lists but more accurate because list owners aggressively maintain the data. These are for one-time use and, in most cases, you only pay for successful delivery. Use these lists to execute campaigns through a third party's infrastructure.
- How effective is your subject header? The subject header is the most significant factor in determining an email's open rate. Be brief and provocative. Avoid words that will trip a spam filter.
- How good is your email creative? Is it interesting enough for a person to read through? The CTA is your offer to the recipient. Is the CTA compelling enough for someone to click through? What action should they take, and what's in it for them if they do? If you can't answer these question, how can you expect anyone to act on your offer?
What are three ways to tell which email campaigns are good and which are rotten?
You've been there before. You've sent an email campaign only to realize that you have no idea whether the campaign was successful or not. Good open rate, bad click-through rate. Bad open rate, good click-through rate. You see the numbers, but what do they mean? Here are three areas to examine to help determine the success of your email campaigns.

Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday.
The move is retroactive to April 26, one day after Davis left Baltimore's game against Kansas City with a strained left oblique.
Davis grimaced while swinging in the third inning, but remained in the game before leaving between the fourth and fifth frames.
Davis, who led the majors with 53 home runs last season, has just two round-trippers through 22 games this season with a .250 average and 13 RBI.

Here is a quick MSAA quality comparison on r300g with glxgears: http://imgur.com/a/jNOWo#0
I think you might be getting to the limitations of AA and sampling in general. If a fence is one half of a pixel thick, you need at least 2x SSAA. If a fence is 1/4th of a pixel thick, you need at least 4x SSAA. If a fence is 1/32nd of a pixel thick, you need at least 32x SSAA, because 16x SSAA will look ugly. And I could go on...
Here is a quick MSAA quality comparison on r300g with glxgears: http://imgur.com/a/jNOWo#0
Marek, it would be nice to print on stderr a message when MSAA is enabled and which mode (similar to the radeon: Acquired Hyper-Z. messages). I am not sure if the in-game settings always work and who get the precedence (game setting or env var). Thanks.
I also noticed a problem: when using MSAA 6x and high resolutions (1920x1080) the screen flashes and get very slow. At the same resolution with MSAA 4x it works fine, probably a limit of some time is reached. Using a RV530.
Possibly related to the fact my cards now get detected as a R580?
Possible regression of http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mes...7e0e31c9a6f823GL_RENDERER = Gallium 0.4 on ATI R580
GL_VERSION = 2.1 Mesa 9.1-devel (git-959e83d quantal-oibaf-ppa)
GL_VENDOR = X.Org R300 Project
Thanks, this also let me notice that the application has a higher priority than the evn var over MSAA setting.
Thanks again, I'll report a proper bug, probably tomorrow, I want to test some other known apps before.Fixed in git. Only the renderer string was wrong. The card was detected correctly.
The issue with the flashing screen must be caused by something else.
I filed the flashing bug.
And here are some performance numbers, openarena, Very High Quality, 1024x768:
- no MSAA: 74.6 fps
- MSAA 2x: 61.1 fps

Hernandez faces potent Tribe offense in opener
Masterson takes hill for Indians seeking fifth win
The Twins enjoyed Pedro Hernandez's last start so much, they opted not to skip him in the rotation, despite Thursday's off-day.
He'll confront his stiffest challenge yet Friday, when he encounters an Indians lineup that has crossed the plate at will lately.
Cleveland scored 39 runs on 59 hits in its past four games. That included a torching of Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay on Tuesday, when the Indians hit seven home runs in a 14-2 win.
"I think we're starting to get on that roll a little bit," Indians designated hitter Jason Giambi said. "We've pushed through the tough times and we're starting to play really well offensively."
Hernandez earned his first Major League victory Saturday, when he held the Rangers scoreless for five innings.
"Hernandez was fantastic," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He did exactly what was asked of him. He got us through those five innings, even though he hadn't started in like three weeks in Baltimore. So we got exactly what we wanted from him."
The Tribe will counter with ace Justin Masterson, who, unlike Hernandez, submitted his poorest showing of the season his last time out. Masterson entered his Sunday start with a 4-1 record and 1.85 ERA. He departed with a 4-2 mark and 3.12 ERA after allowing seven runs on nine hits in 6 1/3 innings against the Royals.
Masterson did, however, tally nine strikeouts.
"When he worked ahead and got to two strikes, I thought his stuff was crisp," said manager Terry Francona. "I actually thought it was electric."
Twins: Mauer given extra rest
• In the midst of a 3-for-34 slump, catcher Joe Mauer received Wednesday off. Mauer played in the Twins' first 23 games this season. With the Twins off Thursday, it served as a chance to get Mauer some extra rest. The five-time All-Star is batting .287 with two homers and eight RBIs this season.
Indians: Swisher resting sore shoulder
• Nick Swisher received the night off Tuesday and wasn't in the starting lineup again on Wednesday. He has been battling soreness in his left shoulder.
"His left shoulder has been nagging at him a little bit," Francona said Tuesday. "We've been playing the heck out of him."
Swisher played in the Indians' first 23 games this season.
• Ryan Raburn went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBIs on Wednesday, his third straight game with at least three hits. Raburn is 11-for-13 with four homers and nine RBIs over that span. He had nine hits, no homers and one RBI all season before Monday.
Worth noting
• The Twins claimed 12 of their 18 meetings with the Indians last season, outscoring the Tribe, 108-73.
• The Indians' seven home runs on Tuesday fell one short of the team record of eight in one game, set against Milwaukee on April 25, 1997, and matched the seven they hit against Seattle on July 16, 2004.

When building a raised bed by hand, it can be difficult to keep the boards from coming loose over time. This kit provides durable steel brackets and hardware for you to build your own long-lasting raised garden bed.
Kit Includes:
- 4 corner brackets, powder-coated steel
- 2 middle brackets, powder-coated steel
- 40 stainless steel flat head screws
- Instruction guide
- Not included: 2x6 lumber (framing, reclaimed, or composite)
Build a Raised Garden Bed
Heavy gauge steel brackets create clean corner details for a raised garden of variable sizes and lengths. Brackets hold the boards securely together while the stakes keep the corners securely anchored in the ground.
For longer raised beds, the middle brackets help prevent the wood from bowing out in the center. They hook over the top, screw into the sides and the stake is driven into the ground. The corner brackets fit four finished 2 x 6 boards (two per side) to a height of 11 inches.
When sourcing lumber locally, we encourage you to use sustainably harvested lumber, salvage wood, composite decking or other reclaimed materials.

DDF Customer Reviews
Great for Extremely Oily Skin!! - 1/30/2015 1:07:44 PM I have battled extremely oily skin for years. After 2 hours of applying makeup my face would look like I just fried bacon. I started using this product at night and applied a light coat and wore to bed even though it is a temporary mask. In addition, I wear a thin coat under my foundation during the day. I can go all day without having to powder or use blotter sheets!!! It also gives your face a very smooth look. Highly recommend for those of you with extremely oily skin that have tried everything else! I receive compliments on my complexion all the time.The Best. - 11/10/2014 10:02:06 AM I have used this for 2 years now and it is a staple in my routine. I use it 2 to 3 times per week and it keeps my skin super clear, my acne has reduced, and it makes me glow. I love it and won't ever go without it. If my skin is feeling congested and dull, the next day it is clear and my breakouts are reduced. It also does not irritate my sensitive skin. Great stuff. My only complaint is that they changed the amount of product and the packaging. Now you don't get as much as before... but it is great stuff, so I'll keep buying it.An Effective Product - 9/19/2014 5:26:02 PM I have been using this product for hyper pigmentation on the left side of my face and have noticed that the discoloration has slowly disappeared. I am extremely pleased with the results and would recommend this product to anyone hoping to diminish facial "age spots" or other types of hyper pigmentation.Effective, not harsh - 9/14/2014 5:49:10 AM Aesthetician recommended to me and I have continued to use it. Best glycolic face wash on the market. Clean, fresh feel. Rinses completely. No soapy residue. No billowing suds which are useless and just from additives.Lightweight - 3/31/2014 6:37:17 AM I have oily skin and this lightweight moisturizer with SPF is not greasy. The application is quick and easy.- 3/18/2014 7:58:18 PM Great product but overpriced for the negligible results. I have sensitive, combo skin that is highly reactive to many chemicals. This cream is outstanding for my skin type but I've used less costly face creams that are just as effective at calming and protecting my skin. Would be more inclined to purchase again if it came in a pump container with a little more product.. Overall, great product.Deflates a normal zit in a day, a tough one in two - 2/7/2014 11:39:38 AM This really works and doesn't kill the surrounding skin. The secret is the salicylic acid. Don't waste your money on stuff that doesn't contain that compound. The formula can be worn under makeup without showing through. It doesn't dry to a cakey finish. I usually get non-cystic zits and this deflates them and makes them look less red within several hours(overnight or by the end of the day) and they are completely gone in a few days. Sometimes I get cystic ones and I put this on first, then hit it with a small amount of prescription steroid cream, because those are tough to bring down the inflammation. Once the inflammation has come down I just use this, and in a few days the evil thing is gone.My third time buying - 2/6/2014 3:20:32 AM I have tried everything for my post menapause break outs and this is the only one that clears, heals and doesn't dry out my skin. It actually prevents new break outs if I put it on areas prone to break outs before I go to sleep. I have dry skin, so I only put it where needed.Used many-love DDF! - 1/30/2014 10:07:51 AM This is the best skin cream I have tried to date . I am 63, with thin, white skin! I have deep wrinkles around my mouth and I have turkey neck. This cream plumps up the wrinkles so they don't appear stretched & dry. It gives my skin great moisture. So far it is the only product I have used that does this. The priceis high, but the jar lasts a long time!Good results, but maybe not worth the price. - 12/13/2013 2:56:26 PM After using this eye cream consistently for a several weeks, I really noticed a difference in dark circles and puffiness. Only okay for moisturizer. Good all around product, but still not sure if it's worth the money. -
