Sounds like fun George
Good advice from all as usual. I have seen the South Shore of LI inlets from the ocean and they can be quite formidable at the wrong tide (as I suspect the NJ coastline is as well). Mini races with 10' and higher waves. I have also gone down the Sound and through the East River and although I am sure it is a longer trip than going outside but you can find places to anchor and marinas along the way to duck in to if necessary. I have also sailed on the Chesapeake a little which is as safe as the LI Sound if bigger and a lot thinner. This is a trip that sounds like fun so if your relatives and friends crap out on you I might be interested in a leg or so of this trip as crew if I am still prematurely retired when you depart next fall.

Parkfield (formerly, Russelsville)[2] is an unincorporated community in Monterey County, California.[1] It is located on Little Cholame Creek 21 miles (34 km) east of Bradley,[2] at an elevation of 1529 feet (466 m).[1] As of 2007 road signs announce the population as 18.
Parkfield is located at 35°53′59″N 120°25′58″W / 35.89972°N 120.43278°W[1] in the Temblor Range between the San Joaquin Valley and the Central Coast, at an elevation of 1,529 feet above sea level. Mining and Homesteading used to be a prosperous activity in this community, but the mines were exhausted below economic recovery levels and the industry moved elsewhere. Today, it is a small town of about 18 people, most of whom are ranchers and farmers. There is a small tourism industry in the town based on equine-related events, hunting, a bluegrass music festival, and Parkfield's unique earthquake history (see the geology section below). The Parkfield motto is, "Be here when it happens."
A post office operated at Parkfield from 1884 to 1954.[2] The town's original name of Russelsville was rejected by the post office and Parkfield was chosen from the town's park-like setting among oak trees.[2]
The ZIP Code is 93451, and the community is inside area code 805.
Parkfield lies along the San Andreas Fault, one of the longest and most active faults in the United States[citation needed], which appears in the town as a seasonally dry creek bed. The fault marks the divide between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate (see plate tectonics). There is a bridge across the creek with piers on either side that have shifted more than five feet relative to one another due to aseismic creep since the bridge was constructed in 1936.[3]
Since at least 1857, Parkfield has had an earthquake of 6 or greater magnitude on average of every 22 years.[4] In 1985, the US Geological Survey predicted that there would be a comparably-sized earthquake in this community by 1993, but no such event came until September 28, 2004, when a magnitude-6.0 earthquake struck at 10:15 am Pacific Daylight Time.
Parkfield is the most closely observed earthquake zone in the world. Scientists constantly measure the strain in rocks, heat flow, microseismicity, and geomagnetism around Parkfield. The observations of the San Andreas fault in Parkfield are hoped to help scientists better understand the physics of earthquakes and faulting; information gathered from Parkfield may still be used someday to issue predictions for major earthquakes along the San Andreas fault and around the world.
Since 1985, the United States Geological Survey has been working on a project known as "The Parkfield Experiment", a long-term research project on the San Andreas fault. "The experiment's purpose is to better understand the physics of earthquakes — what actually happens on the fault and in the surrounding region before, during and after an earthquake."
In 2004, work began just north of Parkfield on the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD). The goal of SAFOD is to drill a hole nearly 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) into the Earth's crust, across the San Andreas Fault. The specific target of the probe was a patch of fault known to generate sequences of repeating microearthquakes of around magnitude 1.0. The drilling was completed in the midyear of 2005, and an array of sensors was installed to capture and record earthquakes that happen near this area. It is hoped that SAFOD observations will provide insight into the source mechanisms of these small earthquakes, which can be scaled up in an effort to understand larger events. The drilling discovered a mineral called Serpentinite at the site of origin of 2004 earthquake. Serpentinite can transform into talc, a very soft mineral, thus facilitating easy slippage of plates. It has been hypothesized that aseismic creep at Hollister is also due to the presence of Serpentinite. No drilling has been done at Hollister to confirm this.
Mountain bike racing[edit]
Parkfield is also the site of the Parkfield Classic, one of the longest-running mountain bike races, the longest-running race on the Central Coast, and the largest collegiate mountain bike race in the United States, excepting the Nationals. It is famous for an international "drag" race; men donning women's clothing converge on Parkfield the last weekend in March, treating the locals to quite a spectacle.
The race was first held in 1989 by a private party, Jim A.[who?] Jim ran the race yearly in the fall until 1999, when the Cal Poly Wheelmen took over hosting the event.
The event is typically the first or third weekend in October. The cross-country course is 9, 16, and 24 miles for different categories. The race also has a single-track downhill, a moderate length fully separate and bermed dual slalom, and a short-track race on either a flat parade loop or a technical campground loop.[5]

Bauer 2100 Senior/Junior Ice Hockey Helmet Combo
Bought this helmet for my 4 year old to begin learning how to ice skate/play hockey. It has an adjustable chin strap which is great & with an added skull cap I was able to get the size medium on his head without pulling his hair. It's a great helmet & he loves learning hockey! The only thing that is tough are opening and closing the snaps on the helmet & straps. Wish those were easier!

Good quality
Purchased for 5 year old son. Fits just right and is built well. Good protection.
January 29, 2015
check tbe fit
The salesman on the floor was just as professional as one could ask for. He measured my child's head and then spent time fitting him to a Helmut. However the Helmut was returned to me by his instructor because it did not fit him. It was way too tight and caused him a headache and caused his glasses to bend.
I have not Bern able to return the Helmut yet but I will. It was pointed out to me that the company suggests you measure head circumference, however it does not give guidelines to correspond with the measurement. I applause the salesman as he did what he felt was I. The best interest for my son. However it does not fit.

Fits well and offers head/face protection at an affordable price
I feel pretty confident as a parent to have my kids use this product. We had a staffer at the store make sure the fit was correct to ensure the mask would work as designed.

great helmet
coming from a very old CCM helmet that put a lot of pressure on my head i have to say this is a great helmet,it has the newer style with thinner padding but it feels like the same amount of protection as the older helmets. definitely worth buying esspecially for the price. i had to make very minimal adjustments to fit my needs (taking off cage and arches for cage). make sure when you are adjusting to fit your head you dont take the screws all the way out. my only complaint is that you cannot take off the ear pieces but it doesnt bother me that much.

Quality Street Hockey helmet
Much nicer than the last model. Easy to adjust and sturdy.

State's emergency care gets a C-
A national report card on emergency medical care in the U.S. gave Hawaii a C- grade, saying the state suffers from a "severe gap" in hospital capacity that impedes response to everyday emergency care needs and potential disasters or mass-casualty events.
Hawaii's C- grade, which is tied with West Virginia and ranks the state 24th in the nation, including the District of Columbia, is down from a C+ grade and a ranking of 16th in the nation the state received in 2009 on America's Emergency Care Environment report card. Hawaii also received a C- in 2006, the first year the report was issued.
Hawaii was given an F for access to emergency room care, an F for disaster preparedness, a D+ for medical liability environment, a B- for quality and patient safety environment and an A for public health and injury prevention, according to the report released Thursday by the advocacy group American College of Emergency Physicians.
Sen. Josh Green, D-West Hawaii, who leads the state Senate Committee on Health, said while the state ranks among the top in the nation for prevention of injuries and protection of residents, the below-average grade is a reflection of the state's physician shortage, primarily on the neighbor islands in the realm of trauma and neurosurgeons, as well as the geography of the state, which presents transportation issues since patients needing additional care must be flown to other islands.
"We're in a very unique situation," he said, noting there is room for improvement in recruiting and retention of physicians and specialists, funding transportation, funding hospitals and reducing medical liability insurance costs.
"If we're ever going to become a state that gets an A or B rating, we would have to do all these things at once," said Green, who is also an emergency room physician at Kohala Hospital. "And, still even with our geographic challenges, we may not have all (at the top) but we could transport people within an hour."
Linda Rosen, who leads the state Department of Health's Emergency Medical Services and Injury Prevention System Branch, said she was happy with the report's findings, particularly the high grades for injury prevention and quality and patient safety environment.
She noted, however, the report didn't consider things such as Hawaii having a state-designated burn unit available because Straub Clinic and Hospital on Oahu doesn't have enough admissions a year to qualify for national accreditation, already-in-place plans to increase capacity at hospitals for mass-casualty events or the availability of tents that can accommodate hundreds of additional beds.
"We can always do more. We are really happy with the positive parts, but we need to look at what we need to improve," Rosen said.
Healthcare Association of Hawaii Director of Emergency Medical Services Toby Clairmont said the report "unfairly characterizes what we can do and what we can't do."
In particular, he said, the report's finding the state has the second lowest bed surge capacity did not take into account the association's work during the past decade to secure federal funding for tents to provide surge capacity and augment "brick and mortar hospitals."
Clairmont said the association can provide up to 250 beds under a tent in the event of a disaster or mass-casualty event in the state. On Hawaii Island alone, the association has 40 beds pre-deployed and ready to go. The association can provide as many as 150 beds, however. It also has two 40-foot containers filled with supplies, including cots in addition to the hospital beds.
"We have the resources ready (on the ground), all we have to do is move people," he said.
Nationally, the report gave the U.S. a grade of D+, down from a C- in 2009 and 2006. The D+ grade cited lack of access to emergency care, medical liability environment and disaster preparedness as reasons for the national grade to be lowered.
The current report gave no state an overall grade above B-. One state, Wyoming, was given an overall grade of F. The District of Columbia earned the best grade in the report with a B-, followed by Massachusetts (B-), Maine (B-), Nebraska (B-) and Colorado (C+). Ahead of Wyoming were Arkansas (D-), New Mexico (D), Montana (D) and Kentucky (D).
The report card, which grades states in five categories (access to emergency care, quality and patient safety environment, medical liability environment, public health and injury prevention and disaster preparedness) based on 136 objective measures, provides a picture of how states measure up in supporting the ability for the nation's emergency departments to provide care for patients.
"This report card points to the shortcomings and challenges in the emergency care environment, but it does not attempt to grade the care provided by dedicated emergency physicians and staff, nor does it underestimate the day-to-day commitment and concern that emergency physicians demonstrate in caring for millions on patients each year," the report states.
Hawaii boasts a strong commitment to public health and injury prevention, according to the report, noting Hawaii's A grade in that category ranks the state second in the nation behind only Massachusetts, which also received an A.
In ranking Hawaii second for public health and injury prevention, the report noted the state's low rates of chronic disease and fatal falls, as well as the amount spent per person by the state to prevent injuries and improve public health. The report also noted Hawaii has some of the lowest rates of adult and child obesity.
"These … numbers are supported by the state's fiscal commitment to injury prevention, with high per capita injury prevention funding ($961.64 for every 1,000 people) and funding sources specifically set aside for prevention of occupational injuries, childhood injuries, and injuries among older adults," according to the report.
The state also has a good emergency medical services system focused on patient safety, the report found, giving Hawaii a B- in the quality and patient safety environment category and ranking it 16th in the nation. The grade is up from a D+ in 2009 and C+ in 2006.
"The state has adopted a uniform system for providing pre-arrival instructions and has implemented a statewide trauma registry" since the 2009 report card, according to the report. "Hawaii is ninth in the nation in terms of hospitals with computerized practitioner order entry … (and) provides funding for quality improvement within the EMS system and has a funded state EMS medical director, demonstrating a strong commitment to quality improvement and system oversight."
Hawaii also ranks among the top five states for the proportion of adults and children with health insurance, the report noted, citing 95.9 percent of children and 91 percent of adults having health insurance.
However, Hawaii performed poorly in three categories: access to emergency care, disaster preparedness and medical liability environment.
The state garnered an F — down from a C in 2009 and C+ in 2006 — for its access to health care, according to the report, which said the dismal grade reflected a lack of "adequate" hospital capacity, "which can lead to dire outcomes." In explaining the grade, the report noted the closure in 2011 of two hospitals on Oahu, the state's geography that keeps patients from accessing hospitals outside the islands, specialist shortages and low Medicaid reimbursement rates.
"Hawaii has one of the highest per capita rates of emergency physicians but few emergency departments (9.3 emergency departments per one million people)," according to the report. "Its hospitals are nearly at capacity, with the second highest hospital occupancy rate in the nation (77.1 per 100 staffed beds) and low numbers of staffed inpatient beds overall (231.9 per one million people), which equates to long waits in the (emergency) department."
According to the report, the average wait time from arrival to discharge in an emergency department in Hawaii was 330 minutes — 5.5 hours.
In the realm of disaster preparedness, the report also gave Hawaii an F, citing its lack of verified burn centers, few burn unit beds (just 2.2 per 1 million people), the fewest intensive care unit beds (117.8 per 1 million people) in the nation and the second lowest bed surge capacity (229.8 beds per 1 million people). Hawaii received a C+ for disaster preparedness in 2009.
The report stated the infrastructure issues will "greatly hamper Hawaii's ability to respond to a large-scale disaster or mass casualty event."
The report recommended Hawaii increase the availability of medical facilities, intensive care unit beds, burn unit beds, emergency departments and inpatient beds.
Those actions "would go a long way toward improving the state's access to emergency medical care and increase its ability to respond to large-scale disasters," according to the report.
Medical liability is also hampering Hawaii from receiving a higher grade.
The report gave the state a D+, ranking it 30th in the nation, down from a C+ in 2009 and a position of 16th in the nation.
While Hawaii's grade did receive some aid by the relatively low number of malpractice awards payments (1.5 per 100,000 people) and average medical liability insurance premiums of $10,432 for primary care physicians and $44,860 for specialists, it was offset by few protections for the state's health care workforce and the highest average medical malpractice award payments in the nation at $681,839.
The report suggested the state consider liability reforms such as reducing the medical liability cap on noneconomic damages to $250,000, requiring awards to be offset by collateral sources, and requiring periodic payments of malpractice awards. Such reforms could reduce the incidence of defensive medicine (providing extra medical treatments or tests solely out of concern to avoid litigation), thereby encouraging more specialists to provide on-call services to emergency patients.
"Additionally, Hawaii should implement expert witness rules requiring case certification; ensure that expert witnesses are of the same specialty as the defendant; and institute liability protections for care mandated by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, which requires emergency care providers to perform life-saving procedures without a pre-existing patient relationship and little to no knowledge of a patients medical history," the report reads.

Slopeside with James Patrick: New England weather can't keep us from skiing
"It's a goggle-wipe, follow-the-grooming machine kind of day," Hunt said with a laugh.
Don't like the conditions? Get a cup of coffee and wait an hour. The weather will probably change. Skiers everywhere deal with a variety of weather. New England skiers just have a little more to deal with this winter as the weather swings from perfect to frigid to hot.
Shawn Riley wasn't scared off by the weather. The front of his jacket had nine lift tickets attached, many from Pat's Peak. The Concord resident brought his son, Shane, and daughter, Samantha, for a morning of lessons followed by skiing with dad.
In a way, Wednesday's unusual weather was a blessing.
"I've been promising the kids I'd take them skiing," he said. "Today there was a two-hour weather delay at their school. I figured that if you're going to have the kids skip school, it's better to do it on a day when there's a two-hour delay."
Samantha Riley didn't seem concerned by the crunchy, slippery snow. She smiled when she was asked if she would rather be in school.
"I'd rather do this," she said.
Ski areas across New England have had a strong year, boosted by well-timed snowfalls. Storms after Christmas dumped fresh powder for the busiest week of the year, then another storm rolled in just in time for the Martin Luther King Day weekend.
Jessi Gilbert, who compiles the snow report for Pat's Peak, beamed when she talked about the winter weather.
"Both storms were perfectly timed," Gilbert said. "It just motivates people and helps them remember that it's winter up here and that they should come skiing."
It's been a while since people have had a reminder that it's winter. Temperatures were around 60 in Boston on Wednesday. A devout group of skiers still found their way to the mountains. Hunt drove about 75 miles from Hamilton, Mass., for her ritual of Wednesday skiing. It doesn't matter what the weather is; this is simply what skiers do.
Still, the masses are ready for another dose of winter.
"I'm a big Farmer's Almanac girl and it said we were going to get a lot of snow this winter," Hunt said. "So far, I'm disappointed. I keep waiting for the snow. But the almanac says we're supposed to get a lot of snow in February, so I'm hopeful."
Few people are more keenly aware of the weather report than skiers and people who work at ski areas. Gilbert took credit for a recent 5-inch dusting of snow at Pat's Peak. She was writing a snow report before her two days off from work and took a leap of faith. There wasn't snow in the forecast but Gilbert said in the report that it was going to snow. Pat's Peak got 5 inches on her days off.
"It's not up to the Farmer's Almanac or Weather.com. It's just good-old Yankee ingenuity," she said with a smile.
Whatever works. Another round of snow would go over well with skiers. Even if it doesn't, people will still show up at the mountains, ready for a run.
"There's always a skier on the hill," Gilbert said.
We're New England skiers. We're used to this kind of thing.

This is the second post in a series brought to you by Positively Real Media. Join us each Friday for a new installment filled with great ideas to keep your family healthy in a not-so-healthy world! We spend an average of eight hours a night sleeping. That's fifty-six hours per week, or about one third of your whole life. It's even more for babies and children! Logic would dictate that we would desire a healthy and toxin-free spot to rest our weary heads each night, but unfortunately that can be difficult to find. Conventional mattresses (and even many labelled "organic" or "natural") contain toxic flame-retardant chemicals that off-gas continuously. Since you are laying directly on it for eight hours every day, this is most definitely a problem. There are multiple links between the toxins found in our sleeping environments and many health issues that plague our society today, such as asthma, allergies, headaches, and SIDS, to name a few. You may be wondering what can we do about it. Is it really so bad? What if I can't afford an organic mattress? Our family recently took steps to make our sleeping environments safer.

I had Christian Ponder in one of my high level real estate courses and he was extremely bright. He sat in the front row and always had something to contribute to class conversations. He was also always one of the first people to finish the tests. Myron Rolle was a Rhodes Scholar and ended up accepting the trip to Oxford. I never had the opportunity to meet him, but always wanted to.
Unfortunately, the bad far outweighs the good. I can imagine that teachers feel helpless at times when dealing with some guys.
I'm sure every college program in the US has it's share of these guys, and its share of smart athletes too. You could probably replace FSU with any other university and it all would hold true.

New Garmin Montana
Link to Garmin blog article:
http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/20...versatile.html Link to additional info: http://gpstracklog.com/2011/05/4-mul...announced.html |
Looks nice, like an Oregon on steroids.
Very very nice! At twice the sale price, Im good with my purchase though. :D Otherwise, the new unit is really trick with the camera and large screen. I can really see that being a great feature for documenting scenic rides.
David |
Just what I need!! More temptation!!
Oh baby. Looks like it ships in June. I might be saying goodbye to my delaminated StreetPilot screen.
http://www8.garmin.com/m/g/1105-outd...ry-Montana.jpg 4" diag screen vs. the Oregon's 3" diag screen. http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/gear-ne...unit/8301.html |
And it talks to you...just like a wife:clap
I was scratching my head last night when browsing REI's web site and noticed the 62s on sale for $279. Now I know why. The Montana 650t looks like a winner to me (or at least something I'm hopeful about).
no word on CHIRP support |
Interesting. Not that I need another GPS, but I would like a larger screen on the little bike. Nice that it converts to landscape mode.
Looks to me like Garmin is about to drop the ZUMO line. This is the first non-zumo brand to target market Moto customers. Looks very promising for the Dual Sport crowed. Feature-function will be the real tell but from the looks of the web-ads it will be quite flexible.
Now, one of these with a 5" screen would be just right for my old eyes. :evil Oh, and Bluetooth (A2DP of course) and XM WX weather and MP3 Player and . . . uh, uh, well...that's it I guess.:clap |
I'm glad I waited to replace my 60Csx. The handlebar mounts are cracking.
Why do you say they're about to drop the Zumo line? |
sounds promising...

Gynura procumbens (Compositae) has been used as folk remedy for the treatment to control diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. The aim of this study was to examine whether G. procumbens extract for various solvent system had an enhancing effect on glucose uptake in 3T3 adipocyte cell lines. At the concentration 0.1mg/mL of hexane fraction showed increase in glucose uptake activity 4.5 fold whereas etyl acetate fraction increased 2.2 fold at 0.005 mg/mL of compare to untreated. For butanol fraction showed dependent manner of insulin and at 0.05mg/mL of extract, glucose uptake activity was increased 1.4 fold compare to the insulin.These results suggest that the antidiabetic action of G. procumbens may be mediated throught the stimulation of glucose uptake and the potentiation of insulin action.

text: FAIRBANKS (AP) Listen to Alaska politicians for too long and it might sound like throughput in the trans-Alaska pipeline has dwindled to just a trickle of the valuable watery light crude that's grown to be Alaska's lifeblood. And after more than 30 years of pumping oil out of the North Slope, it's clear that reserves won't last forever. Estimates put proven reserves at roughly 50 or so years, but that's just the oil that can be shipped with today's technology. There's estimated tens of billions of barrels of what's called heavy oil, which could likely fill the pipeline well into the next century, but there's a problem with the stuff it's hard to ship. Imagine how difficult it would be to pump peanut butter over short distances, let alone over 800 miles, and you'll get an idea of the difficulties of bringing heavy oil to market. A fledgling technology that was presented to the Senate Resources Committee in Juneau last week might be the key that could more than double the commercially developable oil on the North Slope. Steve Yarbro of SNT Ventures, a Los Alamos, N.M.,-based company, has been developing a process that uses superheated, super-pressurized water to break down the chemical bonds that make heavy oil so sticky. "What this does is take something with the consistency of peanut butter and turns it into the consistency of water," he told the commission. "You can take something that crummy and turn it into a pretty nice product." Yarbro said the process, called SuperCritical Water Extraction and Refining (SCWER), is based on the tried-and-true process of heating and pressurizing water so it takes on chemical properties that allow it to break down fluids. It's a process that has been developed to break down radioactive waste. Typically, Yarbro said, heavy oil is impractical to develop because of the costs and chemicals needed to get it ready to transport. A barrel of heavy oil will cost $10 to $20 less than light crude, making it impractical for any producer to develop. The new technology uses existing industrial technology to break down the heavy oil as it's pumped out of the ground, producing an oil that is chemically identical to what is already in the pipeline. But the advantages don't stop there, he said. Because heavy oil is so much more dense than light crude oil, you can put in 100 barrels of heavy oil and get out about 109 barrels of oil that are worth about $10 to $20 more. The process, Yarbro estimates, would cost about $10 per barrel. It's a technology that's been proven in the lab, but Yarbro is looking for investors to test the project on a bigger scale and prove that it works in the field. Yarbro is in talks with the Fairbanks Pipeline Training Center to build a small, five barrel per day project. "We know the chemistry works and there's really nothing we can do at the bench scale at this point," he said. "We need to take the next step so we can build a larger scale pilot so we can truly know where the economics of the project are." Yarbro said he hopes to get a capital appropriations from the state in order to avoid the licensing headaches that would come along with private investors with the eventual goal of making the technology widely and cheaply available. "This seemed to be a reasonable option," he said. "For the opportunity for the state to invest and make the technology available to a diversity of producers in the state, but we really haven't given up any option." The technology was enthusiastically received by the senators on the commission. Sen. Joe Paskvan, D-Fairbanks, who co-chairs the committee, said the technology has the potential of creating an oil production boom in Alaska. He said it's a prime example how technology will help extend the life of the pipeline and keep oil revenue flowing into the state's coffers. "The potential use of new technology to open up entire new streams of throughput to the pipeline is a game changer," he said. Yarbro said he plans to revisit the state legislature later this session with more numbers and information on what it might cost to start his pilot project.

Celtic defender Mikael Lustig was left disappointed at being unavailable to take on Juventus this week.
The Sweden international grew up following the Old Lady of Turin and was looking forward to Wednesday's Champions League Round of 16 second leg at Juventus Stadium but has been forced out with a thigh injury.
"It's a really big game and to play in their new stadium would have been fantastic," he said.
"But sometimes you are hurt and can't play.
"That's hard for me but hopefully more of these games will come up.
"I just started jogging so hopefully we'll see come the end of the week if I can start training in full again.
"We want to go there and play a good game. We want to show we're not going just to take part.
"If they are going to be as strong at corners as they were in the first game hopefully we can get a penalty this time."
Juventus won 3-0 at Celtic Park three weeks ago making the return bout a very difficult prospect for the Scottish champions.

In my University of Extrication skills training, the question always comes up "I took a class and the instructor said you have to cut the Upper Rail before you roll or jack the dash". In my opinion and based on my experiences, No you do not necessarily HAVE TO cut the Upper Rail.
It seems that it always works better in training when we make that relief cut before we jack or roll the dash. Reality however is that we are working on 'virgin' cars in our training that have not been in a frontal crash like what would really happen with enough force to trap a person in the front seat.
This 1997 Honda Accord required the jammed driver's front door to be opened and cut off at the hinges. Dash rolling or dash jacking was not necessary to remove this patient.
Look at the Upper Rail. Look at how it is already crumpled, bent, crushed, and 'hinged' by the crash. That's the Real World!
My reply when this question comes up in training is that cutting the Upper Rail is always a NICE TO DO but most likely will not be a MUST DO when you are moving the dash to free a patient.
You DO HAVE TO cut the A-pillar to disconnect the roof from the lower A-pillar. I recommend cutting a chunk out of the pillar so the stubs pass by each other without binding up as the dash moves.

An amazing story of our heroes fighting jihad immediately after 911, over at the Daily Caller:
Secret mission: The Horse Soldiers of 9/11 Alex Quade
It was the news the world breathlessly waited for immediately after the 9/11 terror attacks: a report of the first American troops on the ground in Afghanistan.
All at once the world's attention focused on an iconic photo of those Special Operations Forces doing something no American military had done in nearly a century: They rode horses into combat.
Their secret mission: secure northern Afghanistan by advising the warring tribal factions that formed the Northern Alliance. During the 2011 Veterans Day Parade on November 11, a new monument to these men — and to all Americans in uniform — will make its way down New York City's famed Fifth Avenue on the way to its final home, a stone's throw from Ground Zero.

Dance on Sunset is a dance and music series hosted by Quddus (Benjamin Quddus Philippe) on Nickelodeon that featured dance routines, called the "Fresh-Squeezed Dance", designed to be performed by its pre-teen and teen-age viewers. Choreographer Tony Testa and the show's dance troupe, the Nick 6, demonstrated each routine slowly, repeating it several times during the episode. An "advanced" version of each routine was featured on the show's website. Episodes featured musical guests, which included Akon, Natasha Bedingfield, Miranda Cosgrove, Fall Out Boy, Fergie, Janet Jackson, Sean Kingston, Lil' Mama, Jesse McCartney, Menudo, Omarion, Panic! at the Disco and Ashlee Simpson, as well as dancing by a studio audience.

Hickling, Robert and Plesset, Milton S. (1964) Collapse and rebound of a spherical bubble in water. Physics of Fluids, 7 (1). pp. 7-14. ISSN 0031-9171. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:HICpof64

Some numerical solutions are presented which describe the flow in the vicinity of a collapsing spherical bubble in water. The bubble is assumed to contain a small amount of gas and the solutions are taken beyond the point where the bubble reaches its minimum radius up to the stage where a pressure wave forms which propagates outwards into the liquid. The motion during collapse, up to the point where the minimum radius is attained, is determined by solving the equations of motion both in the Lagrangian and in the characteristic form. These are found to be in good agreement with each other and also with the approximate theory of Gilmore which is shown to be accurate over a wide range of Mach number. The liquid flow during the rebound, which occurs after the minimum radius has been attained, is determined from a solution of the Lagrangian equations. It is shown that an acoustic approximation is valid even for fairly high pressures, and this fact is used to determine the peak intensity of the pressure wave as it moves outwards at a distance from the center of collapse. It is estimated in the case of typical cavitation bubbles that such intensities are sufficient to cause cavitation damage.

NWAR: Trench Warfare
Detective Nwar gets his hands dirty for a political campaign.
4.41 / 5.00 2,832 Viewsok.. so I got daily number one. but to new people watching this. I suggest watching the other eps before watching this one. it's somewhat of a continuing storyline.
oh yeah- btw- I went ahead and put the second part of this ep onto this ep. I stuck 'em together, rather than uploading the second part as it's on ep. so I think it works better.
Reminds me of Spongebob...
It was pretty cool! It made me laugh, but you could do better.
This Shows Promise
I scored the toon fairly low, for one simple fact. Frankly it's too Spongebob-ish. Aside from being a starfish Starwell is pretty much a spongebob knock-off.
The toon turned out better than what I thought and i think the creator has definate potential. I did have a couple of good chuckles.
It'd be nice to see a bit more originality.
Well It wasn't magnificent
Some parts were somewhat giggle worthy i guess but not hysterical, but it was the ending that kind of threw the whole thing off though. I mediokre ending to a pretty good flash.
it was okay
i don t know..... it was pretty good but it didnt really make me laugh. bill cosby was kind of funny though.
Hey sorry, I know you left me a comment on my xanga, but xanga is down and I can't even look at anything. When I fix it, I'll be sure to respond immediately.
As usual, this was hilarious. And congrats on daily 1st! You deserve it : )

Domaines Schlumberger Princes Abbes Pinot Blanc 2008
Pinot Blanc from Alsace, France
Winemaker's Notes
The color is a light golden yellow with light golden reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine has a fine youthful quality. The nose is marked, pleasant and expressive, and gives out a dominant of juvenile, primary, fruity scents; citrus fruits and very refreshing lemon peel. The frisky and refreshing nose is remarkable. The onset in the mouth is moderately ample with a well-balanced acid base. One evolves on a fresh and edgy medium marked by a light sparkling note. The range of flavors is focused on the dominant fruits, citrus fruits, lemon peel but also white flesh fruits. The finish offers a moderate length and a sharp vivacity. The wine shows a slender and lengthy character without losing the freshness of the grape variety.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "This dry version exhibits pleasant notes of lemon zest and brine, with a warm, underlying hint of earthiness. Despite crisp acidity, this has nice weight and texture, making it great as a sipper or with shellfish. Drink now through 2011."
Domaines Schlumberger Winery
Domaines Schlumberger only harvests grapes from their own vineyards and are entirely dedicated to quality, which is achieved through deliberately producing very restricted yields per hectare. The planting and judicious choice of grape varieties, pruning the vines, constantly surveying the grapes as they ripen, and the precious care that they are given enable a strict selection to be made during harvesting. Each plot, or even each bunch of grapes, will only be picked if it is completely ripe. View all Domaines Schlumberger Wines
About Alsace
View a map of Alsace wineries Seventy miles long and two miles wide, Alsace is a beautiful, picturesque region situated along the border of France and Germany, nestled between the Voges Mountains and the Rhine River. These landmarks give Alsace an ideal climate for the white grapes that have become the mainstays of the region. Pinot Noir is also grown, with plantings of the grape increasing with consumer demand for red wine.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Alsace underwent a territorial tug-of-war, bouncing from France to Germany and back to France again at the end of the first World War. While the French led the renaissance of fine wine production in the 20th century, Alsacians have integrated both French and German influences in their wine. Alsacian wines are mostly white, with Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer leading the plantings. Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Sylvaner are also popular varietals. The bottles are flute-shaped, like many German wines, and the type of grape is clearly placed on the wine's label – quite unlike the typical French practice of labeling wines by region.
Notable Facts
Alsace wines have four noble varieties: Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Muscat. These are the only varietals allowed in the 50 Alsacian Grand Cru wines. Pinot Blanc, while not noble, is key in making many of the Cremant d'Alsace (sparkling wines) and is found in many Alsace AC blends. Most of the wines from the region are dry – with steely acidity and round fruit flavors, typically more full bodied (aka, more alcohol) than their German counterparts. There are also sweet wines and, of course, sparkling.About France - Other regions
When it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Related ProductsAlcohol By Volume Guide
Most wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK430 Reviews and Owner Comments
2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK430RandeBlue, Kissimmee, FL, February 25, 2011 12:52I have had this car for 6 years after buying it used in 2005 at 67, 000 miles. It is still going at 198, 987 miles and the repairs have all been minor. MAF and air filter changed, bulb replaced in the AC controller and just recently replaced the instrument cluster. I had the motor mounts and transmission mounts replaced about a year ago. She is running great and looks great to the point where I still get thumbs up when I drive round. Because I cruise now instead of blowing everyone away when I first purchased it. This has cut down on tire wear. A lot of the repairs I was able to do myself, and saved a lot of money over the years going to authorized Mercedes independent shops. (a whole lot). This is my keeper car that will turn heads for years to come.EnthusiastFlag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

I also own a 2009 Porsche 911, and I love driving both cars for different reasons. Can't bring myself to part with my CLK!Flag ThisLike0

West County EMS & Fire Prot Dist
<?xml:namespace prefix = dme />
In May of 1908, Saenger Hall, which was located on the southwest corner of Manchester and Henry Roads, caught fire. Neighbor awakened neighbor, and a bucket brigade was organized and worked through the night. Saenger Hall and the building on the west side were completely demolished. It was at this time some of the men in the community decided some organized form of fire protection was needed.
In February 1996, the District officially changed its name to the West County EMS & Fire Protection District thus better reflecting the communities served. The District covers approximately 21 square miles of St. Louis County and serves a resident population of approximately 51,000. The District currently has 63 employees, 57 line personnel and 6 Administrative Staff. In 2009, the voters approved a 19-million dollar bond issue for the purpose of constructing new facilities and up-dating equipment. In 2010 and 2011 we purchased new apparatus and up-dated our firefighting and life-saving equipment.
During the last quarter of 2011 we anticipate opening our Advanced Center of Excellence and Public Education facility. Located behind our engine house #2 on 7 acres of previously undeveloped land, several buildings and training props will provide both the public and our employees the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills.

Conjoined 8-month-old US twins separated
November 8th, 2012 in Surgery /(AP)—Surgeons at a Philadelphia hospital have successfully completed operations to separate 8-month-old twin girls who were joined at the lower chest and abdomen.
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia says the seven-hour procedures to separate Allison and Amelia Tucker were completed Wednesday afternoon.
The twins are from Adams, New York. They shared their chest wall, diaphragm, pericardium and liver. Officials had said they were "excellent candidates" for separation.
Lead surgeon Holly Hedrick says the complex surgery "went very well and as expected." She says the twins will be monitored closely during their recovery and should be able to live "full, healthy and independent lives."
Officials say the surgery was the 21st separation of conjoined twins performed at the hospital.

Winter Haven, Florida Ś The controversial Christian Coalition voter
guides seem to be showing up everywhere these days. A Freedom
Writer subscriber sent us a piece of mail he received from a
veterans' organization to which he belongs. The group, American
Ex-Prisoners of War, mailed Christian Coalition Congressional
Scorecards out with its July, 1996 newsletter.
The Freedom Writer subscriber is Jewish and served with the U.S. Army
in World War II. He was captured by the Germans and held in a POW
camp. As a new member of American Ex-Prisoners of War, he was
displeased with the group's mailing.
In an attempt to reach Owen Boothroyd, Jr., commander and editor for
the American Ex-Prisoners of War, Freedom Writer spoke to
his wife, Anna Boothroyd. "The voter guide doesn't have anything to do
with whether you're Jewish or Catholic or Protestant," she said. "The
Christian Coalition is the only one we know of that spends the money
to produce these guides showing how our congressmen voted. It has
nothing to do with religion, it's a favor to the community," she
added. The Christian Coalition voter guides have caused considerable
controversy since their inception. Many view them as blatant campaign
literature for the Republican Party. Now, with its lawsuit against the
Christian Coalition, the Federal Election Commission agrees.
Washington, DC Ś A full-page ad appearing in Roll Call
(June 24, 1996) featured the headline: "Is the Supreme Court pushing
America toward civil war?" The ad, sponsored by Loyal Opposition, a
group headed by Randall Terry, attacked members of Congress as
"cowards," and called for the impeachment of six U.S. Supreme Court
justices: Kennedy, Souter, Breyer, Stevens, O'Connor, and Ginsburg.
Terry attacked them because, the ad said, they have "unleashed a flood
of pornographic filth on the nation...banished corporate Bible reading
and the posting of the Ten Commandments from government schools ...
drove corporate prayer from government schools ... legalized the
slaughter of unborn children ... struck down the American people's
attempts to keep homosexuals (practicing unspeakable perversions) from
having special rights.
"We urge our fellow, God-fearing Americans," the ad went on, "to
demand of their congressmen that they impeach these six members of the
Supreme Court." If Congress fails to take action, "disgust and
cynicism will creep into the American public, and your cowardly
inaction may help inch us close to that black chasm into which no sane
man desires to look, and few dare."
Terry is the founder of the radical antiabortion group Operation
Rescue, and he views many Religious Right groups, such as the
Christian Coalition, as too moderate.
Monroe, Louisiana Ś Police arrived at nearly the witching hour to
disperse a group of fundamentalist Christians protesting a bookstore's
celebration of Anne Rice's latest novel of the supernatural. Employees
of Books-A-Million called police at 11:33 p.m.; after asking the
protestors four times to stop harassing customers.
The protestors were all members of the Eagle's Nest Church. One of the
protestors said that the idea to demonstrate originated earlier in the
evening during a prayer meeting at the church. A spokesperson for the
group, Everett Aaron, said the prayer group felt led by God to
demonstrate at the bookstore.
Published reports said the party at the store was orderly, "There was
no alcohol or anything bad...just cake, costumes, and door prizes. It
was all in good fun." The store held the party to promote Rice's 16th
novel, Servant of the Bones, a fictitious book about a
spirit named Azriel and his centuries-long existence.
"We won't let witchcraft and Satan into our community," Aaron said.
"The staff [of the store] is all dressed up in black. That's just one
sign of the darkness they are promoting. We came out to show these
folks the light."
He said that he understood that the book was about a vampire. After
being told that the central character was a wandering Hebrew spirit,
and that the book had no vampires, he remarked that people who read
Rice's books are "opening the door for Satan to come in."
The demonstrators stayed until the party ended after 1 a.m. Police
made no arrests.
Greenville, South Carolina Ś Political preferences of Southern Baptist
clergy have changed radically over four presidential elections. In
1980, 33% of Southern Baptist clergy preferred the Republicans; but by
1992, 72% leaned towards Republican, said James Guth, a political
science professor at Furman University, in Greenville, South
Washington, DC Ś The so-called Religious Freedom Restoration Amendment
is back before the House of Representatives after languishing for
seven months. House majority leader Dick Armey's proposed amendment
forbids the federal and state governments from denying "equal access
to a benefit, or otherwise discriminate against any person on account
of religious belief, expression, or exercise." If adopted, it would
allow religious charitable groups, day care centers, and schools to be
eligible for public funds or vouchers, the National Association of
Evangelicals' Forest Montgomery told the National &
International Religion Report. The proposal also specifies that
the constitutional amendment does not authorize the government to
"coerce or inhibit religious belief, expression, or exercise."
Some religious groups contend that the amendment is unnecessary and
violates the separation between church and state. "I'm a born-again,
Bible-bred, Texas-born Baptist preacher. And that's why I oppose any
government meddling in my religion," James M. Dunn of the Baptist
Joint Committee said.
Dunn and representatives of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the
United Methodist Church, and Unitarian Universalist, Buddhist, and
Jewish groups voiced their opposition at a news conference. They said
the proposal is part of a Republican effort to use religion as a tool
to garner votes in the November elections. (Source: National &

Virginia Beach, Virginia Ś Television evangelist Pat Robertson
responded angrily to religious leaders opposed to the Religious
Freedom Restoration Amendment. "Ladies and gentleman," he said on the
July 24, 1996 broadcast of his "700 Club," "I think this [amendment]
is one of the key things...and it, just frankly turns my stomach to
hear a gentleman who says he represents the Baptist Joint Committee Ś
when I happen to know as a Southern Baptist that the largest
denomination in the country has withdrawn funding from his
organization and does not fund him Ś to have him come up and say 'I'm
against children praying in school. I mean it's...when we see the
vendetta [emphasis his] against religious faith that is being carried
on in the schools of America, it's nothing short of appalling.
"Because I happen to be the president of Jay Sekulow's organization
[American Center for Law & Justice] and I know the numbers of cases
that come in. We have something in the neighborhood of forty to fifty
complaints a week of persecution or discrimination against people of
faith. And some of them are Jewish, some of them are Catholic and some
of them are Protestant. There has been a vendetta by the people with a
liberal mindset."
After a little more ranting, Robertson urged his viewers to call their
congressmen and senators and let them know that they want the
Religious Freedom Restoration Amendment added to the U.S.
New York, New York Ś A new public survey of Americans aligned with the
Religious Right reveals a strong current of "Christian nationalism,"
that is, the belief that America's political troubles can be
alleviated by making a Christian outlook more central to government.
The survey, sponsored by the American Jewish Committee, "A Survey of
the Religious Right: Views on Politics, Society, Jews and Other
Minorities," compares the attitudes of 507 Americans aligned with the
Religious Right and 503 other Americans.
The survey found that those aligned with the Religious Right
constitute 14 percent of the total American population. Compared to
other Americans, they are more likely to be from rural areas and the
South, older, less educated, less financially well-off, and more
likely to call themselves Protestant and Republican.
Majorities of those aligned with the Religious Right agree that
"Christians should get involved in politics to protect their values"
(76 percent), that a constitutional amendment should be adopted
"declaring that the United States is a Christian nation" (48 percent),
and that "on most political issues there is one correct Christian
point of view" (44 percent). Likewise, pluralities of those aligned
with the Religious Right disagree with the statements that the
"religious views of politicians are not relevant in
determining...fitness for public office" (47 percent, as against 33
percent of other Americans), and that "religious leaders should not
try to influence how people vote in elections" (42 percent, in
contrast to 27 percent of other Americans).Veterans group promotes Coalition
