Keshaun Hinmon might be the first member of his immediate family to attend college, but he likely won't be the last.
The Wicomico High School senior also is a first-year student at Wor-Wic Community College, knocking out psychology 101 this semester with plans to tackle fundamentals of oral communications in the spring.
By the time Hinmon graduates high school next spring, he already would have earned six credit hours of college course work. Not bad for a poor youth who knew he wanted a college education, but didn't have the faintest idea how he'd pay for it. ...

Comments Thread For: Jonathan Oquendo Could Be Facing Charges Over Crash
Jonathan Oquendo, the WBO's number one ranked super bantamweight, could be facing criminal charges following the death of his girlfriend, Melanie Miranda. Last weekend, the two of them were involved in an accident while riding on an ATV. They collided with another vehicle and both suffered injuries. Oquendo broke his right elbow and suffered several minor injuries, while his girlfriend slipped into a coma and days later the doctors declared her brain dead before turning off the life support.

This is a very unfortunate incident that could have been avoided if they had taken simple precautionary measures like wearing a helmet, but accidents of this nature are very common here in Puerto Rico & he already ruined a young girls life & her family's life as well & now he could be facing serious charges & now his future could be in a world of s h i t...I posted this on the 20th of Feb when news about this incident 1st came out & there was no news about her outcome yet..Now there's talks about her organs being donates & look at the last sentence of that post..--->Let Me clear things up for U guys..1st of all it wasn't a car accident, it was off-road vehicle accident on an ATV(or known here in Puerto Rico as a "Four Track")..Oquendo was riding on some off road trails on an ATV with his girlfriend sitting behind him(for some reason that I can't explain that's very common here) & there were 2 ATV's in front of him that were going too slow & 1 was blowing a lot of smoke so Oquendo tried to pass both of them but when he saw there was a Jeep coming head on he went to go back to where he was he ran into the other ATV's..Oquendo claims the brakes on his ATV didn't respond..Oquendo injured his elbow but his girlfriend suffered cranial fracture(the news didn't say if she or both were wearing a helmets like they should) & she was induced into a coma while Doctors dealt with her fracture..But on till now no one has died, so I don't know why Colon put that title..& accidents like this or worst on ATV's are very common here & Doctors at the trauma center in Centro Medico de Rio Piedras(as of now Puerto Rico's only trauma center & 1 of the biggest in the caribbean) refer to people who drive these ATV's as "Organ Donors"!!

Wasn't it something to do with another ATV though, someone said that in another thread when this was announced.
RIP to the girl though, but in a way she knew what she was doing when she got on the back with out any form of protection, she took a risk and it went wrong. All condolences to her family and friends.

A few days ago
my wife asked me how come there arent near as much famous puertorrican athletes as there used to be, my answer, very simple, lack of DISCIPLINE. Everyone wants to be rich and famous but no one wants to deal with the sacrifices and hard work it takes to make it. I remember a time where the MLB was flooded with puertorrican allstar players, I can only think of Molina now... Kinda sad. What the F! Does a supposed profesional boxer has to do fooling around in an ATV just three weeks before an important bout, shouldn't hr have been on the most intense part of his training, not mention in the conditions he was doing so.

Dyatlov Pass incident
Coordinates: 61°45′17″N 59°27′46″E / 61.75472°N 59.46278°E
The Dyatlov Pass incident refers to the demise of nine hikers in mysterious circumstances on the night of February 2, 1959 in the northern Ural Mountains. The name Dyatlov Pass refers to the name of the group's leader, Igor Dyatlov.
The incident involved a group of ten from Ural Polytechnical Institute (Уральский политехнический институт, УПИ) who had set up camp for the night on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl. Investigators later determined that the skiers had torn their tents from the inside out. They fled the campsite, some of them barefoot, under heavy snowfall. Although the bodies showed no signs of struggle, such as contusions, two victims had fractured skulls and broken ribs. Soviet authorities determined that an "unknown compelling force" had caused the deaths; access to the region was consequently blocked for hikers and adventurers for three years after the incident. Due to the lack of survivors, the chronology of events remains uncertain, although several explanations have been put forward, including a possible avalanche, a military accident, or a hostile encounter with a yeti or other unknown creature.
A group was formed for a ski trek across the northern Urals in Sverdlovsk Oblast. The original group, led by Igor Dyatlov, consisted of eight men and two women. Most were students or graduates of Ural Polytechnical Institute (Уральский политехнический институт, УПИ), now Ural Federal University:
- Igor Alekseievich Dyatlov (Игорь Алексеевич Дятлов), the group's leader, born January 13, 1936
- Yuri Nikolaievich Doroshenko (Юрий Николаевич Дорошенко), born January 29, 1938
- Lyudmila Alexandrovna Dubinina (Людмила Александровна Дубинина), born May 12, 1938
- Yuri (Georgiy) Alexeievich Krivonischenko (Юрий (Георгий) Алексеевич Кривонищенко), born February 7, 1935
- Alexander Sergeievich Kolevatov (Александр Сергеевич Колеватов), born November 16, 1934
- Zinaida Alekseevna Kolmogorova (Зинаида Алексеевна Колмогорова), born January 12, 1937
- Rustem Vladimirovich Slobodin (Рустем Владимирович Слободин), born January 11, 1936
- Nicolai Vladimirovich Thibeaux-Brignolles (Николай Владимирович Тибо-Бриньоль), born July 8, 1935
- Semyon (Alexander) Alekseevich Zolotariov (Семён (Александр) Алексеевич Золотарёв), born February 2, 1921
- Yuri Yefimovich Yudin (Юрий Ефимович Юдин), born July 19, 1937, died April 27, 2013[1]
The goal of the expedition was to reach Otorten (Отортен), a mountain 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of the site of the incident. This route, in February, was estimated as Category III, the most difficult. All members were experienced in long ski tours and mountain expeditions.
The group arrived by train at Ivdel (Ивдель), a city at the center of the northern province of Sverdlovsk Oblast on January 25. They then took a truck to Vizhai (Вижай) – the last inhabited settlement so far north. They started their march toward Otorten from Vizhai on January 27. The next day, one of the members, Yuri Yudin, was forced to go back due to illness.[2] The remaining group of nine people continued the trek.
Diaries and cameras found around their last campsite made it possible to track the group's route up to the day preceding the incident. On January 31, the group arrived at the edge of a highland area and began to prepare for climbing. In a wooded valley they cached surplus food and equipment that would be used for the trip back. The following day (February 1), the hikers started to move through the pass. It seems they planned to get over the pass and make camp for the next night on the opposite side, but because of worsening weather conditions–snowstorms and decreasing visibility–they lost their direction and deviated west, up towards the top of Kholat Syakhl. When they realized their mistake, the group decided to stop and set up camp there on the slope of the mountain, rather than moving 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) downhill to a forested area which would have offered some shelter from the elements.[2] Yudin, the lone survivor, postulated that "Dyatlov probably did not want to lose the altitude they had gained, or he decided to practice camping on the mountain slope."[2]
Search and discovery[edit]
Before leaving, Dyatlov had agreed he would send a telegram to their sports club as soon as the group returned to Vizhai. It was expected that this would happen no later than February 12, but Dyatlov had told Yudin, before his departure from the group, that he expected to be longer. When the 12th passed and no messages had been received, there was no immediate reaction, as delays of a few days were common with such expeditions. It was not until the relatives of the travelers demanded a rescue operation on February 20 that the head of the institute sent the first rescue groups, consisting of volunteer students and teachers.[2] Later, the army and militsiya forces became involved, with planes and helicopters being ordered to join the rescue operation.
On February 26, the searchers found the group's abandoned and badly damaged tent on Kholat Syakhl. Mikhail Sharavin, the student who found the tent, said "the tent was half torn down and covered with snow. It was empty, and all the group's belongings and shoes had been left behind."[2] Investigators said the tent had been cut open from inside. Eight or nine sets of footprints, left by people who were wearing only socks, a single shoe or were even barefoot, could be followed, leading down toward the edge of a nearby woods, on the opposite side of the pass, 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) to the north-east. However, after 500 metres (1,600 ft) these tracks were covered with snow. At the forest's edge, under a large cedar, the searchers found the remains of a fire, along with the first two bodies, those of Krivonischenko and Doroshenko, shoeless and dressed only in their underwear. The branches on the tree were broken up to five metres high, suggesting that one of the skiers had climbed up to look for something, perhaps the camp. Between the cedar and the camp the searchers found three more corpses: Dyatlov, Kolmogorova and Slobodin, who seemed to have died in poses suggesting that they were attempting to return to the tent.[2] They were found separately at distances of 300, 480 and 630 metres from the tree.
Searching for the remaining four travelers took more than two months. They were finally found on May 4 under four metres of snow in a ravine 75 metres farther into the woods from the cedar tree. These four were better dressed than the others, and there were signs that those who had died first had apparently relinquished their clothes to the others. Zolotaryov was wearing Dubinina's faux fur coat and hat, while Dubinina's foot was wrapped in a piece of Krivonishenko's wool pants.
A legal inquest started immediately after finding the first five bodies. A medical examination found no injuries which might have led to their deaths, and it was concluded that they had all died of hypothermia. Slobodin had a small crack in his skull, but it was not thought to be a fatal wound.
An examination of the four bodies which were found in May shifted the narrative as to what had occurred during the incident. Three of the ski hikers had fatal injuries: Thibeaux-Brignolles[citation needed] had major skull damage, and both Dubinina and Zolotarev had major chest fractures. According to Dr. Boris Vozrozhdenny, the force required to cause such damage would have been extremely high, comparing it to the force of a car crash. Notably, the bodies had no external wounds related to the bone fractures, as if they had been subjected to a high level of pressure. However, major external injuries were found on Dubinina, who was missing her tongue, eyes, part of the lips, as well as facial tissue and a fragment of skullbone;[3] she also had extensive skin maceration on the hands. It was claimed that Dubinina was found lying face down in a small stream that ran under the snow and that her external injuries were in line with putrefaction in a wet environment, and were unlikely to be related to her death.
There was initial speculation that the indigenous Mansi people might have attacked and murdered the group for encroaching upon their lands, but investigation indicated that the nature of their deaths did not support this hypothesis; the hikers' footprints alone were visible, and they showed no sign of hand-to-hand struggle.[2]
Although the temperature was very low, around −25 to −30 °C (−13 to −22 °F) with a storm blowing, the dead were only partially dressed. Some of them had only one shoe, while others had no shoes or wore only socks.[2] Some were found wrapped in snips of ripped clothes that seemed to have been cut from those who were already dead.
Journalists reporting on the available parts of the inquest files claim that it states:
- Six of the group members died of hypothermia and three of fatal injuries.
- There were no indications of other people nearby on Kholat Syakhl apart from the nine travelers.
- The tent had been ripped open from within.
- The victims had died 6 to 8 hours after their last meal.
- Traces from the camp showed that all group members left the campsite of their own accord, on foot.
- To dispel the theory of an attack by the indigenous Mansi people, Dr. Boris Vozrozhdenny stated that the fatal injuries of the three bodies could not have been caused by another human being, "because the force of the blows had been too strong and no soft tissue had been damaged".[2]
- Forensic radiation tests had shown high doses of radioactive contamination on the clothes of a few victims.[2]
- Released documents contained no information about the condition of the skiers' internal organs.
- There were no survivors of the incident.
At the time the verdict was that the group members all died because of a compelling natural force.[4] The inquest officially ceased in May 1959 as a result of the absence of a guilty party. The files were sent to a secret archive, and the photocopies of the case became available only in the 1990s, although some parts were missing.[2]
Controversy regarding investigation[edit]
- 12-year-old Yury Kuntsevich, who would later become head of the Yekaterinburg-based Dyatlov Foundation (see below), attended five of the hikers' funerals, and recalls their skin had a "deep brown tan".[2]
- Another group of hikers (about 50 kilometres south of the incident) reported that they saw strange orange spheres in the night sky to the north on the night of the incident.[2] Similar spheres were observed in Ivdel and adjacent areas continually during the period from February to March 1959, by various independent witnesses (including the meteorology service and the military).[2]
- Some reports suggest that there was a great deal of scrap metal in and around the area, leading to speculation that the military had utilized the area secretly.[citation needed]
In 1967, Sverdlovsk writer and journalist Yuri Yarovoi (Юрий Яровой) published the novel Of the Highest Degree of Complexity,[5] inspired by the incident. Yarovoi had been involved in the search for Dyatlov's group and at the inquest as an official photographer during both the search and the initial stage of the investigation, and so had insight into the events. The book was written during the Soviet era when details of the accident were kept secret and Yarovoi avoided revealing anything beyond the official position and well-known facts. The book romanticized the accident and had a much more optimistic end than the real events – only the group leader was found deceased. Yarovoi's colleagues say that he had alternative versions of the novel, but both were declined because of censorship. Since Yarovoi's death in 1980, all his archives, including photos, diaries and manuscripts, have been lost.
Anatoly Gushchin (Анатолий Гущин) summarized his research in the book The Price of State Secrets Is Nine Lives (Цена гостайны – девять жизней).[4] Some researchers criticized the novel due to its concentration on the speculative theory of a Soviet secret weapon experiment, but its publication led to public discussion, stimulated by interest in the paranormal. Indeed, many of those who had remained silent for thirty years reported new facts about the accident. One of them was the former police officer, Lev Ivanov (Лев Иванов), who led the official inquest in 1959. In 1990, he published an article which included his admission that the investigation team had no rational explanation for the accident. He also stated that, after his team reported that they had seen flying spheres, he then received direct orders from high-ranking regional officials to dismiss the inquest.[6]
In 2000, a regional television company produced the documentary film, The Mystery of Dyatlov Pass (Тайна перевала Дятлова). With the help of the film crew, a Yekaterinburg writer, Anna Matveyeva (Анна Матвеева), published a fiction/documentary novella of the same name.[7] A large part of the book includes broad quotations from the official case, diaries of victims, interviews with searchers and other documentaries collected by the film-makers. The narrative line of the book details the everyday life and thoughts of a modern woman (an alter ego of the author herself) who attempts to resolve the case.
Despite its fictional narrative, Matveyeva's book remains the largest source of documentary materials ever made available to the public regarding the incident. In addition, the pages of the case files and other documentaries (in photocopies and transcripts) are gradually being published on a web forum for enthusiastic researchers.[8]
A Dyatlov Foundation was founded[year needed] in Yekaterinburg, with the help of Ural State Technical University, led by Yuri Kuntsevitch (Юрий Кунцевич). The foundation's stated aim is to convince current Russian officials to reopen the investigation of the case and to maintain the Dyatlov Museum to preserve the memory of the dead hikers.[citation needed]
iScience Times has posited that the hikers' deaths were caused by hypothermia, which can induce a behavior known as paradoxical undressing in which hypothermic subjects remove their clothes in response to perceived feelings of burning warmth.[9]
The theory that an avalanche caused the hikers' deaths, while initially popular, has since been questioned. Evidence contradicting the avalanche theory includes:[10][11]
- The location of the incident did not have any obvious signs of an avalanche having taken place. An avalanche would have left certain patterns and debris distributed over a wide area. The bodies found within ten days of the event were only covered with a very shallow layer of snow and, had there been an avalanche of sufficient strength to sweep away the second party, these bodies would have been swept away as well; this would have caused far more serious and different injuries in the process and would have visibly damaged the tree line.
- Over a hundred expeditions to the region were held since the incident, and none of them ever reported conditions that might create an avalanche. A study of the area using up-to-date terrain-related physics revealed that the location was entirely unlikely for such an avalanche to have occurred in. The "dangerous conditions" found in another nearby area (which, however, had significantly steeper slopes and cornices) were observed in April and May when the snow falls of winter were melting. During February, when the incident occurred, there were no such conditions.
- An analysis of the terrain, the slope and the incline indicates that even if there could have been a very specific avalanche that circumvents the other criticisms, its trajectory would have bypassed the tent. The tent had not been impacted with any form of snow flow of sufficient strength to knock over the poles. It had collapsed laterally but not horizontally.
- Dyatlov was an experienced skier and the much older Alexander Zolotarev was studying for his Masters Certificate in ski instruction and mountain hiking. Neither of these two men would have been likely to camp anywhere in the path of a possible avalanche.
The 2014 Discovery Channel special Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives explored claims that the Dyatlov group was killed by an enraged Russian yeti. Investigator Benjamin Radford wrote an in-depth review of the show for the Doubtful News website on June 1. He notes that "Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives begins with the premise that the injuries sustained by the skiers were so grave and extraordinary that could only have been inflicted by an inhumanly strong creature."[12] The show makes much of Ludmila Dubinina's missing tongue and claims that something must have "ripped it out" of her. However, Radford states, "As it happens a tongue-eating Yeti—even assuming it exists—is by far the least likely explanation. The 'missing parts' aspect of this case is a familiar one to skeptics, and has been invoked in countless other 'unsolved' mysteries including the chupacabra, cattle mutilations, Satanic animal sacrifices, and aliens. Typically a mystery is mongered by those unfamiliar with—or who intentionally ignore—ordinary predation and decomposition. Lots of animals both big and small scavenge on the soft parts of dead bodies. Another possibility is that Dubinina was caught in an avalanche and the force of the snow and rocks caused her tongue to be bitten off as she yelled and tumbled down the ravine where she was eventually found."[12] Radford states that "Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives and [host] Mike Libecki would have us believe that the nine skiers had an encounter with a Yeti, which they not only saw and photographed but stalked them. And yet none of the skiers mentioned anything else about the Yeti, or their shock at having photographed the creature. In fact, if Libecki is to be believed, their encounter with a Yeti was such an insignificant event that they didn't mention it at all in their journals, and continued their journey uninterrupted."[12] At the end of the show, after all the manufactured drama and running around, Libecki admits that he found no real evidence that the Yeti exists, much less that it was responsible for the deaths of nine Russian skiers in 1959.
Radford's theory "is that the group woke up in a panic on that fateful night and cut their way out the tent either because an avalanche had covered the entrance to their tent or because they were scared that an avalanche was imminent and that was the fastest way for all of them to get out quickly (better to have a potentially repairable slit in a tent than risk being buried alive in it under tons of snow). They were poorly clothed because they had been sleeping, and ran to the safety of the nearby woods where trees would help slow oncoming snow. In the darkness of night they got separated into two or three groups; one group made a fire (hence the burned hands) while the others tried to return to the tent to recover their clothing, since the danger had apparently passed. But it was too cold, and they all froze to death before they could locate their tent in the darkness. At some point some of the clothes may have been recovered or swapped from the dead, but at any rate the group of four whose bodies were most severely damaged were caught in an avalanche and buried under 13 feet of snow (more than enough to account for the 'compelling natural force' the medical examiner described). Dubinina's tongue was likely removed by scavengers and ordinary predation. We will of course never know what, exactly, happened, but... the cause of the deaths of the skiers is not mysterious or 'unknown' as is often suggested. It is in fact clear from the medical examiner's report: hypothermia, or freezing to death. There's really no reason to question the conclusion of the investigators who had first-hand access to all the available evidence at the time. Exactly what caused them to flee their tent can be speculated upon endlessly, but there's no reason to assume that anything unknown or mysterious caused it. In the absence of evidence one wild theory is as good as the next."[13]
Another theory is that wind going around the Holatchahl mountain created a Kármán vortex street, which, according to Jason Zasky,[14] resulted in infrasounds that have effects on humans.
Military tests[edit]
Some people believe it was a military accident which was then covered up; there are records of parachute mines being tested by the Russian military in the area around the time the hikers were there[citation needed]. Parachute mines detonate a metre or two before they hit the ground and produce similar damages to those experienced by the hikers, heavy internal damage with very little external trauma. There were also glowing orbs reported in the sky in that general vicinity, possibly caused by such ordnance. This theory uses animals to account for the missing nose, tongue and leg of certain victims.[15] People believe the bodies were moved; photos of the tent show that it was apparently erected incorrectly, something that these experienced hikers are unlikely to have done.[16]
In popular culture[edit]
Popular interest in Russia was revived in the 1990s in the wake of Gushchin's 1990 novel, The Price of State Secrets Is Nine Lives. In 2000, a regional television company produced the documentary film, with a follow-up novella by Anna Matveyeva. Anna Kiryanova wrote a journal-style novel based on a fictionalized account of the incident in 2005. The incident came to wider attention in popular media outside of Russia in the 2010s.

A wyvern (/ˈwaɪvərn/ WEYE-vərn), sometimes spelled wivern, is a legendary creature with a dragon's head and wings; a reptilian body; two legs; and a tail. A sea-dwelling variant, dubbed the sea-wyvern, has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon's tail.
The wyvern in its various forms is important to heraldry, frequently appearing as a mascot of schools and athletic teams (chiefly in the United States and United Kingdom). It is a popular creature in European and British literature, video games, and modern fantasy. The wyvern is often (but not always) associated with cold weather and ice, and it will sometimes possess a venomous bite and rarely have the ability to breathe fire.
The usual spelling wyvern is not attested before the 17th century as "winged two-footed dragon".[1] It is an alteration of Middle English (attested 13th century) reven, from Old French wivre (cf. French guivre and vouivre), itself from Latin vīpera, meaning 'viper', 'adder', 'asp'.[1][2]
The design of the wyvern to have derived from the figure of the dragon encountered by Trajan's legions in Dacia. It may be the origin of the red dragon of Wales and the golden dragon of the Kingdom of Wessex carried at the Battle of Burford in AD 752.[3]
Wyverns and dragons[edit]
The wyvern has often been confused with the dragon, due to the similarities between them and due to the wyvern being a lesser-known mythical creature. In the middle ages, no clear distinction was made between the two. Since the sixteenth century, in English, Scottish, and Irish heraldry, the key distinction has been that a wyvern has two legs, whereas a dragon has four; however, this distinction is not generally observed in the heraldry of other European countries, where two-legged dragons are entirely acceptable.[4]
In the fantasy genre, the wyvern is usually considered to have two legs, whereas the dragon may have either four or none. The wyvern is regarded, moreover, as the distant, lesser cousin to the dragon, similar to a dog being the distant cousin to the wolf. Wyverns tend to be smaller, weaker, not as intelligent, and ultimately inferior to the much more ferocious and powerful dragon. While a dragon almost always has the ability to breathe fire (though other types of breath such as lightning have been seen as well), a wyvern will usually be unable to breathe fire. Those that can breathe fire are sometimes termed "fire drakes" and are still considered a lesser form. A wyvern will typically be unable to speak, while a dragon often does have that ability.[5] They are common in The Witcher books and games.
Various depictions in pop culture have featured creatures described as "dragons", even though they have features closer to the mythical wyvern. Notable examples are the 2002 film Reign of Fire,[6] the 1981 film Dragonslayer,[7] the role-playing video game Skyrim, the Harry Potter films, the Hobbit films,[8] and George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.[9]
In heraldry[edit]
The wyvern is a frequent charge in English heraldry and vexillology, also occasionally appearing as a supporter or crest.
A white (Argent) wyvern formed the crest of the Borough of Leicester as recorded at the heraldic visitation of Leicestershire in 1619: "A wyvern sans legs argent strewed with wounds gules, wings expanded ermine." The term "sans legs" may not imply that the wyvern was "without legs", rather that its legs are not depicted, being hidden or folded under.[10][11][12] This was adopted by the Midland Railway in 1845, when it became the crest of its unofficial coat of arms.[13] The company asserted that the "wyvern was the standard of the Kingdom of Mercia", and that it was "a quartering in the town arms of Leicester".[14][15][16][17] However, in 1897 the Railway Magazine noted that there appeared "to be no foundation that the wyvern was associated with the Kingdom of Mercia".[15]
A sable wyvern on a white background with endorsed wings forms the coat of arms of the Tilley family.
The kings of Aragon of the House of Barcelona since Peter IV used a wyvern as a crest on their helmets.[citation needed] Nowadays this symbol has been officially adopted as the coat of arms of the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencian Parliament and Government).
The arms of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries depict a wyvern, symbolising disease, being overcome by Apollo, symbolising medicine.
In fantasy[edit]
The wyvern features frequently in modern fantasy fiction, though its first literary appearances may have been in medieval bestiaries.[18] It appears in many works of fantasy fiction, such as Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy, Magic: The Gathering, World of Warcraft, and Monster Hunter.
As a logo or mascot[edit]
The wyvern is also a fairly popular commercial logo or mascot, especially in Wales and what was once the West Country Kingdom of Wessex, but also farther afield in Herefordshire and Worcestershire, as the rivers Wye and Severn run through Hereford and Worcester respectively. For example, a local school travel company is called Wyvern Schooltours Ltd and one of the local radio stations is called Wyvern FM.[19][20] Vauxhall Motors had a model in its range in the 1950s called the Wyvern. The Westland Wyvern was a British single-seat carrier-based multi-role strike aircraft built by Westland Aircraft that served in the 1950s, seeing active service in the 1956 Suez Crisis.
In Australia, the Wyvern forms the primary aspect of the logo and crest for Newington College, an elite high school in NSW. It is also the name of the College's primary school, Wyvern Prep. Westminster School in Adelaide South Australia has two Wyverns facing each other on its official emblem.
The wyvern is a frequent mascot of athletic teams, colleges and universities, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States, and is the mascot of the Korean Baseball Organization team SK Wyverns, established in 2000.

July 21, 2015 – Over-The-Counter Licenses on sale at 9 a.m. (no application necessary)
August 4, 2015 – Leftover Limited Licenses on sale starting at 9 a.m.
April 5, 2016 - Limited License application deadline (midnight)
For more information on license options and availability, please visit the
Big Game Licenses Option page.
Hunter Education certification and your card number are required before applying for or purchasing a Colorado hunting license if you were born on or after 1/1/49. Colorado honors hunter education certifications from other states and provinces. Read more or find a class here.
Colorado offers 10 big game species. The Big Game brochure contains regulations for deer, elk, pronghorn, moose and bear and an identification page that helps identify animals by gender. Brochures are available online or in print from 750 license vendors throughout the state.
Colorado is divided into hunting areas called game management units (GMUs). Each year, a limited number of licenses (sometimes called quota) are allotted to each GMU. Some licenses are also available over-the-counter and are not limited in number. Familiarity with your hunting area increases your chance for success. It is important that every hunter know the boundaries of their hunting area. Check out the state maps and unit descriptions in the brochure or online.
In general, archery season starts in late August and last almost a month. Muzzeloader season starts in the middle of archery season, and four rifle seasons follow that. The first rifle season is limited to elk hunting only.
The second, third and fourth rifle seasons are combined seasons, where deer and elk hunters are in the field at the same time.
The Colorado Big Game Hunting Planner lists season dates, fees, and application dates and deadlines. The five-year season structure overview is a useful long-range season date planner.
Colorado offers distinct seasons for archery, muzzleloader and rifle hunting. Legal requirements for the various hunting methods and transporting them in the field are in the brochures.
You need a hunt code to apply for or buy a license. The hunt code includes the species, sex, game management unit, season/dates and method of take. How to read a hunt code and the tables where they are listed in the brochure are on page 9.
When submitting an application in April, you may apply with up to four hunt codes for one fee on each species application. On deer and elk applications, you can also apply in a second draw called the 'Leftover Draw' if you check the box that says "If unsuccessful, send me ('X the Leftover Draw'). Page 3 in the brochure explains your choices in more detail. If you do not draw, your application fee is refunded, but the $3 processing and $10 habitat stamp fee are retained.
You do not need preference points to purchase the remaining 2015 big game over-the-counter (OTC) licenses (on sale July 21, 2015) and leftover licenses (on sale August 4, 2015).
In fact, ninety to ninety-five percent of Colorado's GMUs require no preference points — or just a single preference point — in order to draw a limited license in those units. Preference points are earned when you apply for a limited license but are unsuccessful in drawing a license for your first-choice hunt or when you purchase a point through the application process. Many hunters collect points and also hunt each year. Researching the number of points required for the GMUs you want to hunt is useful before applying.
Colorado publishes several statistical reports that contain the license quotas, application stats, post-draw stats, number of preference points used to draw each license and harvest estimates. Learn how to read the reports online. If you are so inclined, studying the statistics of the unit(s) you are interested in hunting prior to applying can refine the choices you make on your application.
Colorado offers an unlimited quantity of over-the-counter (OTC) bull elk rifle licenses during the second- and third- rifle seasons because we have the largest elk herds in North America. These OTC licenses do not require an application or preference points to purchase and are available. OTC archery elk, pronghorn and bear licenses are also available. See the OTC license maps and the bear section of the brochure for options.
To Purchase a license online, you'll need the following information handy:

They brought their signs and some brought their children. They wore red T-shirts that stated "Public Schools Works" and showed plenty of spirit.
They were sick and tired of cuts to schools — teacher layoffs and school closings and program reductions — and they refused to take it quietly anymore.
More than 300 people rallied at Monroe Middle School Tuesday to voice their displeasure over school funding cuts and took a direct aim at Lansing.
"Our governor, senator and congressmen need to hear our voices," Monroe High School teacher Amy McBroom said at a school board meeting Tuesday night. "Use state aid funding only for kids and schools."
The rally of more than 300 people began in the afternoon in front of the middle school on Washington St., then moved inside for the district's board of education meeting.
Anita Klatt brought her 13-year-old daughter, Cloe, and her friend Cortney Ball, a fifth-grader at Arborwood School, to the rally. The girls were carrying signs stating "Shared Sacrifice???" and "Broken Promises from Lansing."
"We want them to stop raiding our school funds," Ms. Klatt said. "They said the lottery money was supposed to go to our schools. We'd like to know where it's at."
"We don't want them to fire our teachers," Cloe said.
"I'm in choir," Cortney added. "I'm afraid they're going to cancel that."
At the board meeting, Nikki Klonaris, president of the teacher's union, said Lansing was trying to destroy public education and called Gov. Rick Snyder "dangerous."
"We are concerned beyond comprehension," she said at the podium amid cheers from the crowd. "We as educators have never been so discouraged."
Jerry Oley, a school administrator and president of its union, singled out Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville for supporting cuts in education. Holding high a sign with the pictures of his two children attached on either side, Mr. Oley said he was angry that his son and daughter might not receive the education they deserve.
"It's time to fight back!" he yelled. "It's time to send a loud message to Lansing."
Sen. Richardville, R-Monroe, was in Lansing and did not attend the meeting. He said afterward that anyone who knows him believes that he has been fighting for education for years.
He took particular offense to Mr. Oley's comments.
"Not only does he not know what he's talking about, he should be ashamed for standing on his soapbox and taking advantage of the situation for his own political ambitions," Sen. Richardville said. "In 10 years, he has never once contacted my office. He's never even picked up the phone. I am fighting for Monroe County schools up here. If you know me, I don't think you can question that at all."
Mr. Oley is a Democratic member of the Monroe County Board of Commissioners.
Sen. Richardville said budget discussions are ongoing and he said it was "likely" that the proposed $470 cuts in the per pupil foundation would be reduced. But he also said that if public school employees did more to pitch in, such as pay up to 20 percent for health care costs, then districts could withstand budget cuts without staggering losses to teachers or programs.
"There is no need for any reduction in the classroom if everyone gave some concessions," he said. "We have to live within our means."
In the meantime, districts are preparing for huge reductions in state aid. Clutching signs that said "Stop the Raid on School Aid," public school supporters told the board that they are worried about the future of children.
Jaime Baker, a Monroe High School sophomore, told the board that she was impressed with all the support for schools. But she also was worried about her academic future if programs are cut.
"This is going to be affecting our lives," she said.

Amon Carter Stadium (map it)
2850 Stadium Dr
Fort Worth, TX 76129
Year Opened: 1930
Capacity: 45,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
With a recent invite accepted to join the Big XII Conference and a massive face lift of Amon G. Carter Stadium in 2012, there�s plenty of excitement to go around in Fort Worth, Texas. After stringing together several years of BCS-buster seasons, $164 million dollars pledged to update the stadium, and decades of patience, elite-level football has returned to TCU and the DFW area.
Amon Carter Stadium was originally opened in 1930 with a capacity of 22,000. Since the original construction, the stadium has gone through several major upgrades. In 1948, the capacity was increased to 30,500 with an expansion to the east side. After additional upgrades, Amon Carter�s capacity had doubled to 46,083 by 1956. The 2012 construction put the stadium with a capacity of 45,000 and added significant enhancements to the overall look and feel of the Horned Frog game-day experience including concession areas and crowd flow.
With a new stadium experience, a winning tradition, and elite competition in the Big XII, a trip to Forth Worth for a TCU game won�t disappoint.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The concession experience has greatly benefitted from the recent stadium upgrade. Options are nearly unlimited and stands wrap around the entire stadium allowing for short lines and quick service. Prices are fairly reasonable with classics like hot dogs for $4, nachos for $4.50, and soda (Pepsi products) ranging from $4.50 for a 24 ounce and $5.50 for a 32 ounce.
You have to look pretty close at the signage to realize that some of the stadium operated stands are different from each other. These stands range from healthy options to grill, pizza, and favorite options. Specialty stands include Los Vaqueros (Tex-Mex), Bobby's Fajitas (Tex-Mex), Railhead BBQ, and Dutch's Burgers & Dogs. There are also plenty of portable carts like Conway's (ice cream bars), Lilly's Kettle Corn, Dippin' Dots, and Brain Freeze.
I recommend grabbing some tamales at the Los Vaqueros stand.
There's also a "Bypass Lane" that allows fans to order and pay for concessions straight from their smart phones. Forget standing in line to order. The Bypass Lane allows you to just stop in and pick up your food in a separate lane.
The atmosphere in and around Amon Carter Stadium on game-day is markedly enhanced since the transition to the Big XII Conference.
The Frog Horn is a truly unique aspect of the TCU game-day atmosphere. Weighing in at about 3,000 pounds, the Frog Horn is a huge purple-blinking and smoke blowing engine in the corner of the end-zone. It's capable of belting a locomotive horn at 120 decibels when the Horned Frogs score. It's unlikely you'll find a more unique mascot in Division I football than TCU's SuperFrog. Roaming the sidelines and stands, the SuperFrog is a costumed embodiment of TCU spirit, the horned frog.
Student spirit is evident around The Carter. The student section takes up almost the entire east side of the stadium. The TCU Cheerleaders and Showgirls can be seen around the field and are the symbol of TCU class and spirit. The Horned Frog Marching Band is the pride of TCU.
The recent renovations have significantly improved the stadium aesthetics and overall atmosphere. The best seat in the house is, of course, on the 50 yard line on the west side of the stadium. However, there are plenty of great seats in the lower bowl. The seats in the upper deck on the west side are a bit steep and pretty high, but still give you a great bird's eye view of the field.
The past is honored throughout Amon Carter Stadium with plaques, banners, and even a history section at one of the entry gates. The architecture style of the plaques and stadium gives a strong historical feel as you approach the stadium and as you walk through the concourse.
Fort Worth is a great city for college football and it doesn't get more Texas than this. Just a few miles west of Dallas, Fort Worth offers both a sprawling downtown environment and a cozy suburban experience around the TCU campus. You can even experience a taste of the old west at the Stockyards. This is a great place to hang out with the family or friends. Depending on when you're in town, you might even catch a rodeo. Make plans to spend even more time in the area with a stay at the Stockyards Hotel. A nice place to relax in the downtown area is the Sundance Square. If you have time, plan a visit to the Texas Civil War Museum.
There's some good eats in Fort Worth. Make sure to pay a visit to Cousin's Barbecue. There are several in the area, but head to the original on McCart. Torchy's Taco is a growing chain in Texas and there's a location in Fort Worth. Also, the Ol' Pancake House is a good meal for breakfast or any other time of the day.
Though TCU football has a rich and storied history, some of the luster was lost when TCU was shut out in the transition from the Southwest Conference to the Big XII. The Horned Frogs served as a Southwest Conference member between 1923 and 1995. After 72 years of membership in the same regional conference, TCU bounced around between 1996 and 2011 from the WAC, Conference USA, the Mountain West, and a cancelled a move to the Big East just before the start of the 2012 season when the Big XII conference finally came calling. There's a noticeable difference in the game-day experience as a new member of the Big XII.
For marquee Big XII games, Amon Carter Stadium can be quite an intimidating place to play, thanks to a raucous student section and passionate fans. There's truly reason to 'fear the frog' with a sign of the frog held high across the stadium.
However, there's still room for growth for the TCU fanbase. The diehard fans are around through thick and thin, good opponent and soft. However, non-marquee game crowds can be very thin. It will probably take a Big XII championship run in Fort Worth to solidify a few bandwagoners into long-term, committed fans.
The biggest issue you'll have with access in and around Amon Carter Stadium is parking. Many of the lots are reserved and are by pass only. There are a few lots within reasonable walking distance ranging from about $10 to $20. Look for the lot at the corner of Bellaire Dr N and Bellaire Dr. W. It's $10 cash and just a brisk walk from the west side of the stadium. Once you get to the stadium, you'll have no issues getting around due to upgrades from recent construction. The ticket lines are short and entry into the stadium is a breeze. The concourses are very wide. There are plenty of restrooms that are brand new and with basically no wait.
Ticket prices range depending on the opponent. In 2013, the lowest ticket prices were $30 (general admission) and $45 (reserved) for a home game against an FCS opponent and the highest price was $60 and $75 for the battle with Texas. Depending on how close you want to park, you can find a lot for around $10 within walking distance. The closer you get to the stadium, expect prices to increase significantly. Concessions are fairly priced. Overall, the return on investment is strong.
�There's several fan relation booths around the stadium ready to assist fans looking for seat locations, concession options and more.
�On hot Texas days, don't be surprised if you find free water and ice towels to keep you cool around the concourse.
�The TCU game-day atmosphere is traditionally Texas-style. Expect to see plenty of cowboy boots, hats, massive BBQ pits in tailgate areas, and friendly people.
�TCU really does a great job of recognizing past accomplishments and gridiron greats. You'll find plaques, history timelines, banners, and more honoring the past all around the stadium.
TCU in Big 12
With all of the swirling conference re-alignment talk you can get a little dizzy. And I just can't understand the sense of de-regionalizing some of schools into certain conferences. Air Force in the Big East? Who knows how it will all play out, but I do think that TCU is going to be an awesome fit in the Big 12. I'm so glad that they decided to join, rather than go to the Big East...

Originally built in 1929, Amon G. Carter stadium is in need of a facelift and that is exactly what it is getting. Originally built to hold 22,000 people back in 1929 the stadium has had small renovations over the years and can now hold 44,358. After the renovations the stadium will be able to hold around 50,000. All this is necessary as TCU has placed itself right in the national spotlight again coming off a 2010-2011 undefeated season that saw them get a Rose Bowl berth and win over Wisconsin. TCU has also agreed to move to the Big 12 which will not only bring some more powerhouse programs to Amon Carter Stadium it will also bring a lot bigger crowds.
TCU fans and students already make Amon Carter Stadium an atmosphere envied by plenty of big colleges across the country and I'm sure the additional people that will come when the stadium renovations are through will make this place even better. As TCU continues to win and place itself in the limelight, this place becomes more and more of a must see location. Texas is known for great colleges like Texas, Texas A&M and Baylor. With great fans, a great team and a beautiful campus TCU definitely deserves to be in that mix.
Been to a game before the move to the Big 12 and the atmosphere was great even then, before playing a higher level of competition.

Both the top cover (including the separate rangefinder housings of models II to IIIb, and the housing under the shutter dial of all Leica I and Standards) and the baseplates were of drawn brass. Black finishes were a shiny black etching ground lacquer, probably applied directly without any ground. How Leitz prepared the brass for the chromium plating I don't know; general practice in the surface treatment business seems to be a thin preparatory layer of copper.
Early chroming from about 1933 or so seems to be shinier than later practice. The quality of the chrome deteriorated during the last years of World War II and the early peace years, as Germany had a bad shortage of chromium, which is of course a strategic material. This was the reason behind the dark-grey cameras from the war years.

Disagreement with co-web developer about speed difference of height and width specified in image tags as opposed to in the css

How to render image like in google picasaweb?
How to render image like in google picasaweb?: I'm developing a web page. If I use img tag to put image in the web page, while loading the page, image loads very slowly (especially large images). Also the upper part of image is loaded first and then the lower part, as page is downloaded from server. But in applications like google picasa, a very low quality version is rendered first, so that you see the whole image at once (even though its blurred), slowly as the page is downloaded, image becomes sharper. How can I implement this functionality in my web page? Can someone please point me to helpful resources regarding this?

RFRFPFilter: Help me choose a Web Developer for this huge site!
I've been charged with redoing our Label Website pretty much from scratch, both back-end and front-end (yes, its a self-link but its relevant). Because this site is about classical music, there is a HUGE amount of metadata that will need to be collected, parsed and displayed (think 3700 titles * 10 tracks * performer, composer, title, length, etc for each track). Has anyone done or know of anyone who's done work on this scale on either the back-end side or the design side before that they might recommend? I have an RFP pretty much already mocked-up. I would've liked to have used someone like 37signals but it seems like they don't do work for others anymore.

Should I use wiki or blog software for my simple database?
I'd like to build a publicly editable online database. Each record of the database will consist of images and a few bits of meta data and maybe some Flickr-style tags. I don't have the skills to build a custom database nor the money to pay someone to build it. Is a wiki the way to go? If so, which free (or cheap) wiki software do you recommend for someone with very little programming knowledge? If I remove the "publicly editable" requirement, would a plain ol' WordPress blog with tags be the cleanest option?

Where/How can i learn to deploy perlbal?
I'd like to learn about deploying perlbal. I see docs on installing it but not many on how to actually configure and make use of it. I have just finished a book on Perl. (OO Perl is ugly but doable) Getting everything from CPAN seemed straight forward...Now what? Does this run under mod_perl & Apache? Lighty? Is it its own server and run as a daemon? Any pointers greatly appreciated.
They are wasting so much time.
Help me mirror a development server for clients outside of the development environment. [more inside]
