The first and foremost reason for documentation of the code is that the CPR record is the medical record of all the interventions that occur during a resuscitation. But how does this record help the patient, family, clinician and institution? The CPR record has numerous benefits:
The American Heart Association recommended in 1997 the data elements that should be collected from resuscitations in the Recommended Guidelines for Reviewing, Reporting, and Conducting Research on In-Hospital Resuscitation: The In-Hospital 'Utstein Style.' An update was provided in 2004 with Cardiac Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Outcome Reports: Update and Simplification of the Utstein Templates for Resuscitation Registries. These documents include definitions of the data elements, directions for documenting and priority status for the data elements related to those that are "essential" and others that are "desirable."
The data elements for collection can be divided into three categories of variables:
Several critical time elements should be documented:
You can certainly create your own CPR record that contains the data elements recommended by the American Heart Association. But why not start with the Standard Reporting of In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation form found as Figure 5 in the Recommended Guidelines for Reviewing, Reporting, and Conducting Research on In-Hospital Resuscitation: The In-Hospital 'Utstein Style'?
Another good resource is the National Registry of CPR, who provide Medical Emergency/Rapid Reponse Teams code data forms in both PDF and Word formats:
A technologic advance by ZOLL Medical Corporation is CodeNet Writer, a PDA-based application that is used to document and automatically time-stamp-code events and download defibrillator data at the end of the code. Preprogrammed screens on the pocket PC provide automatic cues for data entry during and after a code. Data can be entered by using a stylus, scribbling on the electronic pad or speaking into the voice recorder. CodeNet Writer is linked with CodeNet Central, a PC-based application to manage, store and print case and aggregate CPR reports. A unique feature of this software program is that all times are synchronized to one clock – a first for code documentation!
The confusion and urgency of most resuscitation efforts prohibit accurate event documentation. Do any of these statements describe code documentation in your institution?
For code documentation to become accurate and complete, it must be valued. This starts with the CPR committee making the decision to document according to the American Heart Association recommendations, and then creating a CPR record with the required data elements – or choosing an electronic method for documentation such as ZOLL CodeNet, with it all laid out.
The role of documenter should be assigned to a select group of trained individuals who are familiar with the data needed and how to obtain it. For example, the documenter may need to request that as any medication is administered IV push to the patient, the provider announce when it is "in" so that the time of documentation can be accurate. The documenter should have no other role during the resuscitation so that full attention can be given to collecting the needed data and following the multiple interventions that often occur simultaneously. It has even been suggested that the documenter have a designated position around the patient's bed so that all providers will know where to target their information.
The CPR record should be kept in a designated location such as on the top of the code cart, so that it can be quickly found at the very beginning of a resuscitation. If CodeNet is not used to document synchronized times, then one clock should be agreed upon for documentation of all times during the resuscitation, e.g., the wall clock in the patient's room. Summary information should always be obtained from the defibrillator and a method determined for how to make it a permanent part of the patient's record. The original paper CPR record should be placed in the patient's medical record, and a copy should be submitted to the CPR committee. Any quality feedback should not be placed in the medical record, but rather written on a form that is returned in a secure manner to the CPR committee and thus is protected from legal discovery according to state quality assurance statutes.
After each code, the CPR record should be reviewed for completeness and process of care, and feedback given to the providers for a job well done or improvement needed. Systems of care should change based on concerns reported so that staff see their input has been used to improve the quality of care. Aggregate code data should be presented to a variety of forums showing how their processes of care and outcomes compare to like institutions. Undesirable trends should be identified so priorities can be set and systems changed. (See "Evaluating Resuscitation Quality" for more information.)
If these elements of documentation are put in place for your institution, you will find that accurate and complete code documentation results in the benefits outlined in the first paragraph of this section.

This bear is probably unique and was perhaps an experimental piece. It is possible that it was actually made by the original owner. After this bear was sold in 1999, Steiff manufactured a limited edition for their Steiff Club members.
Special Notice
VAT rate of 5% is payable on hammer price and at 17.5% on the buyer's premium.
This bear belonged to a woman who worked for Steiff for over 40 years, five of them while Margarete Steiff was still alive. A wooden plaque, inscribed by Paul Steiff, was presented to her to mark her 40 years with the company on the 14th March 1944. This plaque is not included with this bear, but is illustrated in the original auction catalogue.
Purchased from the Steiff Festival Auction in Giengen, 19th June 1999, lot 78.

GB for DC coupled B1 buffer with shunt PSUs

Just because there are Elves
La Ode and I, we could not accept the fact that people's GB suffered.
So we silently cooperated and here they are!
Brand new boards, basic or fully 6 input relay switched, both with delay circuits, accepting 5V or 12V relays by the simple use of a couple of resistors or a jumper.
Both boards are single copper layer, hence they can be even more economic to make. I have the .brd Eagle format files (widely accepted by PCB makers).
Calling Ryssen et all to have a second look for mistakes, and if still interested, I will only send the .brd and schematic Eagle files to the new GB managers. You can then check with PCB makers if all is well and get quotes so to restart the GB.
CRT has done this for absolutely no personal gain, he even has DC B1 with shunts already as you know. It wasn't easy, we had to cooperate a lot. The guy is super. I congratulate him.
The only thing I want to suggest if the GB is resurrected, is to do the decent thing and the GB make for him a couple of free boards as a souvenir and a thanks.
He named the basic board ''HYPNOTIZE'' and the fully featured board ''MEZMERIZE'' inspired by his favorite band S.O.A.D
People, this is about as good as a simple solid state buffer can get. Enjoy.

Survivors of cleft lip and palate number in the thousands in Brazil and have long been a concern of the medical professionals there. In 1992, in the small town of Bauru, a multidisciplinary international team of medical professionals joined forces to implement a scientific approach to treatment that would successfully repair the defect and then reintegrate the person into society. This book documents the first ever international team approach to providing complete surgical and prosthetic rehabilitation 23 adults with severe craniomaxillofacial defects. Each had experienced significant functional and psychosocial problems and had not responded successfully to prior treatment. The team of professionals provided comprehensive treatment including not only surgical repair of the defect and facial esthetic improvement, but also speech correction, psychologic issues, and prosthetic management, typically with osseointegrated implants. Each case study summarizes in detail what was achieved for the patient and explains how the team adapted their surgical and prosthetic experience to achieve successful rehabilitation. Includes clinical photos and a step-by-step analysis of each treatment plan and follow-up care.

A longtime Queens dentist moved his office from East Elmhurst to Bayside, but he is no stranger to the community.
Dr. Christos Tsiatis has lived in Little Neck for 20 years and said he brunches regularly at the Bayside Diner, right across the street from his new office, Clearview Dental, at 207−12 Northern Blvd.
Tsiatis, 57, who has been practicing dentistry for 30 years, first set out his shingle in Brielle, N.J., but soon moved his operation to East Elmhurst, where he practiced from 1981 until now.
"People in Queens are working people, they're responsible," he said. "And they're hardy, too. That was a big change from where I was in New Jersey. A little snow never stopped them. They didn't use it as an excuse to stay away from the dentist."
But as Tsiatis' practice grew and medical technology evolved, he got the urge to expand. It started five years ago, but he started actively looking for a new location a year and a half ago, going from locations in East Elmhurst to as far east as Manhasset, L.I., before settling on the Bayside location.
"Since I'm comfortable in this area because of my involvement with St. Nicholas Church, I was looking around here," he said. "And many of my patients are from this area."
The new office will feature the same staff, the same digital radiography machine that produces X−rays faster and with 50 percent less radiation than traditional film, he said. But it will also feature expanded dental implant services, a process he has been studying recently at New York University.
"Dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth or teeth that cannot be restored," he said, comparing them with the older technique of "bridging" a false tooth between two real ones. "If a tooth is hopeless and you want a replacement there, it's predictable, it's comfortable, it's independent of the other teeth so you don't compromise other teeth in order to restore a tooth," he said.
The titanium implants are actually compatible with the bone of the original tooth socket and integrate after a while, he said.
Tsiatis said he did not plan a large grand−opening ceremony for the new office, which took five months to renovate, but looked forward to maintaining the smiles of people used to visiting him a few miles to the west.
"I love my patients," he said. "I feel like I'm family with them. It's not just a strict doctor−patient relationship. We chat, we talk about their families."

well I got a second pair of eyes on the problem and my mate picked it up almost straight away. I received the wrong Xbee modules with my kit. They are the older 2007 maxstream ones. I aquired a pair from a local distributor and TAA DAA… we're back in business. Oh well, I suppose you cant have too many Xbees on hand. I believe that the earlier version of X-CTU will work with them.
well my kit arrived and all was present. I've had the book for a week or so and it all kinda made sense. Then I tried to follow it after setting up X-CTU and tried following the instructions and…. nothing. Ununstalled X-ctu and tried it from scratch…. nothing, the Xbees wont register and even tried different usb cables but it kept suggesting I check for updates, which were no where to be found. Nothing I did made the program recognise the modules. The book said dont worry about it if you get an error because we'll cover that in the next chapter. Ummmm I'm not a total idiot but there was no way anything it told me to do got any results. The book jumped between different programs but I managed to follow. I'm sitting here after 5 hours with a bunch of stuff that I can't get to work no matter what I do. Is there a really easy walkthrough to get these modules working together and at least recognising the program….. Or do I just pack it up and send it back. If it aint going to work then it's no bloody good to me. :/
1 extended kit here as well. I just ordered the kit above and decided to read the comments. I still need more bits?
No public wish lists :(

I have always had long hair ever since I could remember, I never felt that short hair suits me. Since my hair is quite sparse and sometimes too silky, it's so hard for me to find a hair tie that perfectly fits my hair and stays put the entire day!
Thank heavens Goody has their Goody Girl collection. My favorite would have to be the Strawberry Hair Tie, StayPut Hold. Why? Because it really does stay put and it's so friggin' cute! It doesn't mean that even though I'll be a mum soon, I have to stop my love for cute accessories right?
Goody StayPut patent-pending technology provides 52% more hold than traditional elastics. The collection comes in a variety of styles and sizes to securely hold all hair lengths and types.
The first time that I used this was when I went to my trip to Bangkok and ever since I've just been loving it! I can wear my hair in a pony or put it all up with this hair tie!
The tie is also ouchless! Honestly, another thing that I loved about it is that it doesn't cause damage to my hair and doesn't lead my hair to break. I suffer from hairfall so it's important that I don't use products that may cause more hair fall. I remember my dad asking me if I was sick because my hair fall was THAT bad. :/
I still have a couple of Goody products and all of them are superb! My favorites if you ask me would have to be my Spin Pins (whcih I talked about here) and this StayPut Hold hair tie! :D How about you?

Team learning
The NEW Leadership Academy is a great tool for training team members. Here are some best practices for using the NEW Leadership Academy as part of your organization's career development program:
Step 1:
Register yourself or another designated host for every one-hour webinar at the beginning of the year.
Step 2:
Secure a conference room and send out email invitations to those you wish to attend. Most groups stay for post-discussion, so book your room for 90 minutes. A "lunch and learn" format is a popular option that maximizes everyone's time.
Step 3:
Rotate the role of facilitator for each meeting. The facilitator opens and closes the session, moderates the post-webinar discussion and, in some cases, selects the next month's facilitator.
Step 4:
Integrate the NEW Leadership Academy into your personal development plan and annual performance review so that you can be recognized for developing yourself and leveraging the tools provided by your company.
Step 5:
Encourage team members who can't attend a group session to attend past classes in our Study Hall (Network members only). They will still earn credit toward their NEW Leadership Certificate awarded to members who participate in all six classes.

Mumbai: Katrina Kaif, the well in news and the top notch Bollywood diva and heart-hitting sexy babe, is the one whose presence is largely felt in movies, fashion shows and at events. She is one of the most sought after actress of Bollywood cinema today. The highest paid actress, Kaif charges bigger bucks for films and for her appearance at any show or event. For brand endorsements as well, she is the highest paid like Kareena Kapoor. Katrina Kaif is today's hot favorite for item numbers. She is also called the item number specialist since in which song, she appears, she makes it a hit rather a chartbuster examples being Sheila Ki Jawani, Bodyguard and Chikni Chameli.
Well, a fashion is being held in Kochi where the organizers want Katrina Kaif to walk the ramp. The things have been finalized between the actress and the organizers. And as per the sources and the reports, Katrina Kaif has inked the deal with them for one crore rupees for just 10 minute appearance on the ramp.
The show is to be held on March 25th in Kochi where the southern beauties and other stars from the regional cinema too will walk the ramp. Shah Rukh Khan too has walked the ramp in Kochi previously and charged the burly amount Rs. 2 crores for the appearance. Bollywood celebs charges way high than the south stars for their appearance at any event. The biggest south stars take half of the fees (even lesser) than the Bollywood stars for their appearance. It shows down south, Bollywood celebrities have more worth than their own regional stars. Over there in south, Bollywood celebrities are preferred for any event than their own artists. This is because of the fact that Bollywood celebs have larger fan following and power than the south stars and it is obvious since their stardom stretches to world audience.

1. OU will for sure win one of its two remaining series—Chalk it up: The Sooners will win the Bedlam series this weekend, especially after Oklahoma State handed them an extra inning loss earlier in the year in Stillwater. Then, after this weekend, OU gets a week off from Big 12 Conference play before heading to Lawrence, Kan. for a series against the Kansas Jayhawks. The Jayhawks have been inconsistent this year, so it could be a tough series, but regardless, the Sooners will win at least one of two if not both.
2. The Sooners will win all but one of its five nonconference games remaining—It's safe to say OU could lose against the Arkansas Razorbacks when they come to Norman for a couple of reasons. First, Arkansas has been a good road team this year. Second, they are higher ranked probably for a reason, consistency. The Razorbacks have been more consistent in 2010. But don't expect OU to choke up in a three-game set against Memphis or a midweek contest against Texas Southern.
3. OU will finish in the top four in the conference for sure—Consider that the Sooners have a game-and-a-half lead on the fifth place team in the conference, Texas A&M. Then, consider that they also have the tiebreaker on the Aggies after taking two of three a couple weekends ago in College Station. Then think about the fact that OU plays OSU and Kansas, two of the bottom five teams, while Texas A&M plays the same OSU team, but also the current second-place team, Kansas State. The Sooners own the lead as well as strength of schedule advantage, so they should be able to stay in fourth, if not make up ground on second and third, who are only one game ahead.

The Myrtle Street Reservoir project at 35th Ave. S.W. and S.W. Myrtle Street is nearing the point at which Seattle Public Utilities will complete their maintenance and update work and hand the project over to the Seattle Parks Department to get the process of creating the planned park on the site underway.
Plans for the Myrtle Reservoir Park include a central plaza, a children's play area, railroad tie stairways, and some concrete seatwalls. Seattle Public Utilities is replacing its open reservoirs around the city with underground structures that will improve the quality and security of the water supply.
The new covered water facility at Myrtle became operational in early summer 2008. The elevated tanks and park construction are two separate projects. Those elevated tanks at the Myrtle Street Reservoir site have been undergoing some repairs and updates and the larger 1 million gallon tank at the corner of 35th Avenue SW is totally draped in cloth to permit a repainting of the structure and prevent overspray from drifting off and on to the surrounding area. "We call it a "shrinkwrap", said Brian Eng, project manager for the painting work, "that wrap will be done in about a week. Then the entire exterior will be sandblasted...then the new paint will go on. That's going to take us into the end of June. It's a lot of square feet of area, a of complex framing and three coats paint." They are painting it inside and out. The paint used inside the tank is slightly different since it must meet water quality standards. The smaller 500,000 gallon tank paint work was completed last year.
The Seattle Parks Department is preparing the contract bid package for advertising this month with anticipated construction start in late May 2010. They are currently working on site turnover issues with Seattle Public Utilities who are also carrying out the maintenance work. The SPU repair work was completed last fall (although the elevated tank painting will take longer) but the turf re-establishment by SPU's contractor is not yet complete.
The design incorporates recreational elements and ideas suggested by the community members, Parks staff, Seattle Public Utilities and the Seattle Design Commission. The design includes an open grass field on top of the lidded reservoir for informal play with a pathway circling the field and ADA accessible pathways. The children's play area will feature open toy structures to enhance visibility and provide for better security.
A viewing plaza north of the lid will include an interpretive element indicating Highpoint's elevation as well as that of other prominent hills on the Seattle skyline. The slopes of the reservoir will be seeded with erosion tolerant Ecoturf which includes a mix of grasses and flowers.
Skatepark development will not be pursued as part of this ProParks project. The project will be implemented in coordination with Seattle Public Utilities' Reservoir Covering. The site has been identified as a potential site for a district skate park facility in the Citywide Skatepark Plan. Currently there is no funding to design and construct a district level skate facility.
Other site features to be considered include ADA accessible pathways, play equipment, and general landscaping.

It's such a lovely time of year - but not so lovely that it couldn't be made a little lovelier. Tip a glass or few of these fine wines and let their euphoric glow bring a sparkling sense of well-being to sunny and blustery days alike. Also they're super-cheap.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/1/2013 (1633 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Do you have to go through a training program to do what you do at the level at which you do it? Or is it an honourary thing?
You do go through training, yes. You're screened the same way any other military member would be — they pretty much want your whole life on paper for your past five years. And you go through the same process — the medical, an interview, a big long screening process. And if you do well, then they accept you as part of the Cadet Instructor Cadre (CIC), and usually they hope that you would be attached to a squadron or corps, depending on which element you're going for. But that's the process. You start out as an Officer Cadet, and then to gain your next level of promotion, you have to take certain amounts of training courses. I made it all the way through to Captain this past summer.
Do you have to be a Captain to be appointed a Commanding Officer?
No, you don't, although it is very uncommon not to be. Usually they prefer captains in that position, because you're in charge of the whole show — you're in charge of management of all the adult staff and the squadron as well.
You came here to study at Brandon University. What are you taking?
Well, I started at BU, but my interest was always in aviation — Air Cadets played a big part in that so I switched out of university and I'm training at the Brandon Flying Club now. I already have one pilot's licence — I'm just working on my second one.
So let's go back to the beginning. What was it that got you involved, interested, in Air Cadets to begin with? How does somebody choose which area of cadets they're going to join? And do you, as Air Cadets, have activities, as you suggested, that are tied in with aviation?
Yes. All areas learn the same things, except that each element will have different elemental training. Like our side, we do a lot of aviation training, whereas the army side will do a lot more extensive survival training, more marksmanship. And then of course the sea side would do a lot more naval training, sailing. So it depends what your interests are.
Like myself, at age eight, I had my first flight on a jet to California. And ever since then, I just have this amazing rush whenever I'm up in the air. It was such a wonderful experience that that was it. At eight years old, it was 'I want to fly.'
And when I was age 12, other friends of mine said they'd joined this program and got me interested and I learned about it, found out about all the aviation opportunities within it, and decided it was something for me. So I tried it and loved it, so I stuck it out the whole way.
In the early days of Air Cadets, I would presume there's some fairly regimented military training that goes hand in hand with the aviation stuff that you learn, right?
Yes. You are a squadron and you do learn marching and drill and discipline and deportment. All the cadets who are a part of the program are expected to upkeep the uniform. But it's not as it used to be — it's just more trying to teach them responsibility and some level of discipline that's appropriate to their age level. So it's not like an intense military organization. It's more like getting them to learn to stand on their own two feet without mom and dad there.
Do you find most kids join because THEY want to, or because mom and dad want them to?
The majority of parents who bring their kids in are there just to find out what we're about. But usually it's the children who are gung ho to join and want to do all we have to offer, which is quite a bit. It's a big program.
Our main aim here is to promote an interest in the Canadian Forces Air Force, and physical fitness, as well as Canadian citizenship. They learn such a wide array of material from everything there is to know about aviation to survival skills, marksmanship, effective speaking, leadership, time management, and stress management. They just learn a lot of life skills I've heard parents say they don't learn in school anymore. So a lot of parents love the program for developing their children to be strong, independent Canadian citizens.
So it was the flight that turned you on to cadets in the first place, but once you got into the organization, what was it that you liked about it? I would hazard a guess — and perhaps that's wrong — that not a lot of kids would seek out discipline or measured and controlled activities as opposed to the freedom to do other things.
I think what it was for me, mainly, was that I just liked the changes it was bringing out in me. When I started cadets, I was pretty shy and introverted. And then as I went through cadets, I just became such a strong, independent person, and I knew where I was going and I was motivated and I loved the camaraderie that we had. We had such a strong group of friends and we all worked together. And that feeling of being in charge of something, when you got to the senior level, was just such a rush. And teaching a lesson and knowing you did well and having the younger cadets enjoy it — I mean, you can't get much better than that. It was just so much fun.
But you still want to be a pilot. Is your goal to be a commercial pilot or a military one?
I'm still trying to figure that out. I've played with the military idea, and that's also a misconception about our cadet program. A lot of parents fear that if their kids join cadets, then they're expected to join the Forces once completing the program here. And that's not the case. Some do go on to the Forces, but it's not an obligation by any means. And a lot go on to very promising careers in aviation or engineering.
What is it about flying that speaks to you?
There's nothing like it. It's just that feeling — it's hard to explain. I'm just so passionate about it. When you're flying up there solo, you're just so free. No one can touch you. I do my best thinking when I'm up in the air. You just feel so alive — it's a wonderful experience to fly.
Being involved in cadets, especially to the degree you are, has to be a huge time commitment. What is it that you love about it?
It's watching those little 12-year-olds come in and stand pretty much where I know I used to be and then staying here until they develop into that strong senior cadet, willing to stand in front of a squadron and lead them through marches — it's just so impressive. And watching them do an excellent job instructing a class with no qualms or fears — it's just amazing to see kids blossom into strong leaders.
They get that level of responsibility whether they're the shy cadet or the outspoken cadet. They're expected to run their own cadet careers, essentially. And a lot of them feel so proud being part of something that they have control of, because sometimes they can do better here than they can at school — they feel more confident here for some reason. It's just a different world. It's hard to explain.
If someone is interested in cadets, does he or she have to start at age 12?
Oh no. They could start at 15. We can accelerate them through the program so they can be with their same age group. Anytime a kid wants to join between the ages of 12 and 19, we would welcome them.
It's a non-profit organization — there are no fees to become involved. They get their uniforms at no cost. The only thing is the time commitment.
General parade nights are Friday nights, 6:30 to 9:30 — that's when they're going to do their mandatory training. And sometimes there are weekend activities as well, and optional summer camps.
Another thing about this squadron that maybe a lot of people wouldn't know is that our squadron sponsor is the Rotary Club of Brandon. They've been supporting us for years. And we're so grateful. We could not be a squadron without them.
Cadets and flying are your passions, but what do you do otherwise?
I'm an emergency medical technician. I work for emergency dispatch. Our main title is the Manitoba Transportation Co-ordination Centre, so we are ambulance dispatch for the entire province, with the exception of Winnipeg. And we handle all the emergency calls that come in — all the patient transfers, Lifeflight and the Star 7 helicopter and all the basic air ambulances.
That must be very rewarding work.
It is VERY rewarding! Not many people can say they go to work every day and are able to help people across the entire province. So it's a job I love.
You're a busy lady! What do you do in your off-hours?
I teach ground school for the Brandon Flying Club. And I love playing squash as well.
Do you ever have any down time? Like do you ever just curl up and watch TV?
Absolutely! I am very busy, and I wouldn't have it any other way. But I definitely do get some down time — I'm not a complete workaholic. I like hanging out with friends, and I love going to movies, especially on cheap Tuesdays. Going out for coffee, I like. And I like to shoot pool on occasion. I'm pretty competitive.
Anyone wishing to find out more about cadets can stop by the Brandon Armoury at 1116 Victoria Ave. on Friday nights between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m., or call 204-725-4703.

I'm sure I won't be the only one trying to "help" you but here goes:
My guess is that you "old school professor" hopes that you (or one of
your classmates) will develop the next generation of random number
generators and without fully understanding the current
state-of-the-art, you are unlikely to do so. Also, this understanding
would come in handy if you simply need to defend the results of some
simulation you might do using an off the shelf routine.
This is why I won't give you the answer.

Thanks for the "heads up"
If you want to be on the bleeding edge here you go.
Tried installing but got caught in a loop after I ran make install.
LeeRock, which BackTrack are you using? 2, or 3 Beta? I am using 3 Beta and it compiled and installed fine on mine. Maybe you have a hardware issue and it just can't keep up with BT?
i have this one in win Xp.i used it a lot....
I'm running BT3 beta under Parallels on my MacBook Pro.
Possibly corrupt installation files - or maybe it just doesn't like running virtually. Try again with a new download of Nmap, and let me know how that goes.
I think it was a corrupt download. I have it working now. Thanks.

Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit Recap
Pictures and in car video to follow this evening.
Ever wonder what happens at 103 degrees Fahrenheit? The city of Cleveland, OH declares an emergency in 1941 and that record for heat still stands today. A fever of that magnitude is enough to plant an adult in the hospital. Get out of the shower, get dressed and open the door only to feel like you need another shower. Water is boiling Oh wait, thats Celsius. 103 Degrees was the air temperature on Saturday.
All of those things are true, but whats missing is the Greater Washington Section track day at Summit Point! It would seem that there was an equatorial shift that put the track and our brave participants and instructors square under a sunlit magnifying glass. The surface temperature on the pit grid read a sweltering ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN DEGREES (137)!! It was HOT !!
Over 80 cars and drivers showed up to test themselves and their equipment at the Shenandoah Circuit, part of the Summit Point Raceway facility, on August 4-5. For those not familiar, Shenandoah is a unique track facility that boasts multiple configurations for driver instruction, races, and law enforcement training. We elected to use the whole course which includes a replica of the carousel at the Nurburgring, Nordschliefe. Banked 17 degrees, this sweeping left hand turn immediately reminds you of the banking at other storied tracks like Daytona and Talladega.
This year, we added a new service to the offering, classroom instruction. Over 40 novices students participated in a class where they enjoyed personalized instruction from Miriam Shotland of Bill Scott Racing (BSR). The course focused on the finer points of performance driving. When a class session broke, students were then able to put these new found principles to the test on track with a qualified instructor. The positive response was overwhelming and we will continue it for future events. Big thanks to Miriam for putting on such a great course.
I would encourage you to come to a track event to watch the wide variety of cars, even if you are not a dedicated track junkie. Its much like going on safari and being able to see animals in their natural environment. Mercedes, Ferraris, Fords, Chevrolets, and Mazdas all playing nicely on an automotive playground. There were a number of interesting cars on hand. Mike Sokalsky came down to visit with his 16V. OK, so what? This is a 16V with over 315,000 miles on the odometer! We also had a Ferrari F430, a Dodge Charger, and a Super Performance Shelby Cobra replica. Powered by a 427 cubic inch V8 with dual carburetors and a side oiler dry sump system, the car measured 603 horsepower at the rear wheels!! Weighing in at just shy of 2,000 pounds, the car is an absolute rocket ship. For the Porsche fans, you may want to skip to the next paragraph. There was also a 944 with a heart transplant. Instead of having a turbo charged 4-cylinder engine, this car boasted a Chevrolet 350 cubic inch LS1 motor.
Students were also able to enjoy a unique feature of the Shenandoah Circuit, the skid pad. This slick circular piece of asphalt is flooded and used as a training tool to educate students on how to react during a hydroplane situation. Cars sliding sideways and drivers counter steering made for an interesting Dances with the Benz episode. Students and their families were also given the opportunity to tour the track during low speed parade laps.
We pride ourselves on putting on a fast, fun and safe event. This driving school at Shenandoah was no exception. However, we had some drama. Paul Rossano and his instructor in a new Dodge Charger went agricultural at the end of the main straight as the heat took its toll on his brakes boiling the fluid. After a couple of slow cool down laps around the freshly flooded skid pad, the car was in good order.
Big thanks to our instructors and volunteers who gave up their weekend and their sweat to help make this event a great success. The Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), BSR, Ford SVTOA, Car Guys and our own veteran drivers provided the on track instruction. In all, over 30 people came out to provide on track instruction, logistics support, photography and general gofer duties to the drivers and the event staff. We could not have done it without you!

I was so excited about the idea of creating a template to Wordpress Theme here, so I took some time to create my first one. I chose the theme "marriage", cause I didnt see too much themes in this area.
To my sad surprise I was rejected, and the message in the email only says that the theme is ugly, I do not understand why. I wanted to know from you what to improve on it, what did I do wrong? And is it worth I still try to improve this theme ThemeForest or should I give up from idea to post themes here…
The message: "Unfortunately your submission doesn't meet our current minimum quality requirements for the category it was submitted to. Please consider taking some time to familiarize yourself with our current library and quality levels of popular items before resubmitting."My theme demo: http://www.conceitodigital.net/themes/wedding/
Thanks, Henrique
[edit] I post it in wrong place X.x, well I cant move it or delete…
Moved to Item Discussion
Other than the Header title (Couple Names) remove the curly font entirely.
Make paragraph spacing more consistent. (ie, remove the indent for new paragraph)
Too many different fonts. Stick with 2 at most.
The white text shadow is too distracting, thus reducing readability.
Under 'Blog', I am seeing the lists, and they are terrible. Remove the italics. Remove the underline. Give it a margin-left of 50px so that it stands out as a list. I'm iffy about the bullet image, but it's not necessarily bad.
Get rid of the top and bottom border on links.
Why are your "This is a H# tag" all the same!?
Blog posts have no dates? Nor author name?
You can't click on individual blog pages!? What if the guests want to comment on the couple's posts?
To be honest, everything that could make this a wedding thing isn't happening. I don't mean to be harsh, but I feel you need to hear this straightforward critique to advance your art. You chose a wedding theme style because there are fewer out there and you'd think they'd sell… but there's nothing that makes this theme stand out as a wedding theme! What about photo gallery? What about wedding location information?
Please look at other wedding themes and see what they accomplish…
I wish you the best of luck
You can not imagine how happy I am with your answer. It was what I waited, I sincerely take everything into consideration. And I want to thank you very much I agreed with everything you spoke. Sometimes it is very difficult to make progress without an external view. I'll try to improve, hugs!
Once again thank you!

This could have been rectified with a simple gesture of good will on behalf of the company in question to save the small reputation of the already failing brand.
The latest evidence however supersedes all previous delusions of a potential mistake on behalf of the company in question as these actions could have potentially been made intentionally. This is supported by a long string of consistent bad business practices, piss poor product standards, design copying and the lack of delivery and customer support.
We here by conclude that the company in question should be avoided like a Chlamydia infested rampant pre-teen
Haha brilliant.
It all adds up now, what a cunt.
That picture alone is fucking hilarious. The trolling before, even better.
Would appear they are alive again?
strange...i thought they would of shut up shop after reading all this.
Just ordered some shorts and a couple of rashguards. Can't wait for... awwww shit :(
it could have been set in another persons name with him as dual owner. Or everyone at companies house was like "awwww hes a nice guy, ok hes fucked up 100 times, but hes a nice guy"
Unless this is Bellendgero with a new identity, back to fuck over the mma community once again

WWD latest story proclaims that luxury brands are refocusing their offerings to pull from heritage roots ("Latin Roots" by Fugazi anyone?). "These days, Twitter enthusiast Louis Vuitton is far more likely to tweet about the 1896 launch of monogram canvas or the 1930 birth of its iconic Speedy handbag than which actress wore its clothes to a recent VIP event. It's but one indicator that Europe's big luxury players are moving heritage to the forefront of product and communication efforts as a way to reassure — and seduce — consumers spooked by recession." It's all cyclical anyways, isn't it?

The first Gravity Guy starred a hero wrongfully imprisoned by his evil government for manipulating gravity. He broke out of prison, only to be endlessly pursued by a heartless Gravity Trooper. At the end of the game, Gravity Guy escapes to his freedom.
Gravity Guy 2 disappoints ever so slightly by comparison because all pretense of story is gone. Players control a now-helmetless Gravity Guy, but the cut scene bookends and evil pursuer have vanished. The store description says Guy has been captured and cloned (Miniclip also published this webpage to expand on the premise), but that doesn't spill over into the game itself.
In fact, the first game's story mode and local multiplayer are MIA as well. An endless runner doesn't need these things to keep players entertained, but the lack of context and modes still represents a small step back in an otherwise much improved game. Still! Forget the missing bits, this one really is much better.

Kittanning man arrested for harboring teen girl
KITTANNING – A 41-year-old Kittanning man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly harboring a 15-year-old Bethel Township girl reported missing on Tuesday.
Court documents allege Gregory Alan Shaffer ,of 415 Robinson St., reportedly took the girl to an apartment in Shelocta, Indiana County, and lied to authorities on two occasions when asked about her whereabouts.
Police found the girl the next day with Shaffer in a room at the old Shelocta Motel.
The Leader Times does not reveal the names of juveniles who are involved with a crime.
The incident began at approximately 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when the girl left her home for school. According to the criminal complaint, she had instead planned to run away and meet Shaffer. Another man allegedly picked up the girl outside the Bethel Township Municipal Building, then drove the pair to the motel which has been converted into apartments.
The girl's mother reported her missing at 4:30 p.m. after she didn't return home from school. Around 5:50 p.m., police interviewed Shaffer at his home in Kittanning and he said he hadn't seen the girl in "a couple weeks," documents show.
Troopers later spoke with a woman who said Shaffer had another residence in Indiana County and that Shaffer told her the week before that he was "thinking of kidnapping" the girl, according to the documents.
Police say they again interviewed Shaffer at his home, but he insisted he didn't know where the girl was and denied having another residence.
The following afternoon, the man who drove the pair to the motel told police where Shaffer and the girl had been staying since Tuesday morning. police said. When investigators arrived at the motel, Shaffer opened the door and a trooper said the girl tried to run into the bathroom, according to the affidavit.
The girl was taken to the state police station in East Franklin where she was interviewed and placed into the custody of Armstrong County Children, Youth and Family Services.
Shaffer was arrested and placed in Armstrong County Jail by District Judge James Andring in lieu of $20,000 bond on charges of concealing the whereabouts of a child, interference with the custody of a child and corruption of minors.

A lot has been said and written lately about how, perhaps, BYU would be a good fit for the Big 12 because it has its own TV network. Just like Texas.
The implication has been that the Longhorn Network and BYUtv are pretty much the same thing. Which isn't exactly true.
Their ways of operating, their goals, their reasons to exist are not the same.
To put it simply, Texas is in it to make a buck. Millions of bucks $10 million in the first year and $300 million over 20 years from ESPN, which is operating the channel.
Reportedly, LHN is asking cable and satellite operators for 40 cents per subscriber per month. That's not completely outrageous. The Big Ten Network charged 70 cents per subscriber when it launched.
But it does partly explain why Texas' Big 12 rivals are not happy about any of this. If you're an Oklahoma fan who has to watch a Sooners-Longhorns game on LHN, part of your cable bill is going straight to that channel and you're subsidizing your hated rival.
BYUtv, on the other hand, just wants access to any and all cable and satellite systems, which it does not charge. (The channel will, however, have underwriters in the style of PBS. There will be a revenue stream from businesses anxious to have their names associated with the Cougars.)
But BYUtv is all about exposure for the Cougars. And spreading the message of the LDS Church.
"It has always been about fan access," said Derek Marquis, managing director of BYU Broadcasting, who added that BYUtv's goal is "to get it into as many households as possible."
UT isn't worried about exposure. It has no message to spread, other than "Hook 'em, 'Horns."
BYUtv is a national and international network. It is steadily expanding its reach both in the United States, where it's available in about 60 million homes, and abroad, where it's available in 188 countries.
The Longhorn Network is clearly designed as a regional network focused mostly on the state of Texas. And, to a lesser extent, on Oklahoma, Louisiana and New Mexico. Although Dave Brown, LHN's vice president of programming, predicts it will get "some sports-tier distribution outside of the surrounding states."
(That may take some time. The channel is slated to launch on Thursday and as of this writing major distribution deals have yet to be announced.)
"They're really not the same thing," said Brown, "We'll be on a much smaller scale when we get up and running. Obviously, BYUtv is a much more widely distributed network than we'll ever be."
Of course, Texas' rivals aren't just unhappy about the money the Longhorn Network will pull in. They also see it as an unfair recruiting advantage, which is why LHN has been blocked from airing high school football games for now.
BYUtv could be seen as a similar advantage to any potential conference mates. If BYU is invited and joins a conference an extremely big if.
Marquis said he's had some contact with some of the folks at UT about how BYU launched its network.
"But they know how to do it," he said. "It's not rocket science. It takes a lot of money. You've got to have a facility. You've got to have a crew.
"But when you've got a partner like ESPN, you can pull this off."
Sort of like going independent in football, BYU is hoping.

Could you imagine building a Shinto shrine on the deck of the U.S.S. Arizona in Pearl Harbor, or maybe a bronze statue of John Wilkes Booth erected next to Lincoln's memorial, or one of Adolph Hitler at Dockau or Buckenwald?
Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when the Twin Towers fell? Did you see fellow Americans jump from the windows to their death in order to escape the inferno? Three thousand Americans died that day at the hands of Islamic extremist homicidal maniacs who left behind many ruptured families and fractured people on American soil.
But now, adding insult to injury, a thirteen story mosque/cultural center is planned for ground zero of the "Twin Towers Massacre." Why there, we ask? Freedom of religion? A memorial to the fallen dead and their families? A form of public apology or a commemoration of a great victory and future conquest?
History is clear: The erection of mosques on sites of victory and conquest is a symbol to Muslims of Islamic triumphalism, e.g. Temple Mount Jerusalem where the Al-Aqsa Mosque stands on Israel's holiest ground; the largest cathedral in Christendom, St. Sophia Basilica of Constantinople (Istanbul) was turned into a sprawling mega-mosque; and the city of Cordoba, Spain, from which this "ground zero" mosque derives its name, saw an immense mosque built on the site of an ancient Christian Church.
The "Cordoba" Mosque project at 9/11 Ground Zero is an insult and an affront to all the Twin Tower victims and their families. Where is the common sense, the basic consideration and human love and compassion of this "religion of peace" demonstrated in the building of this masjid?
First the mosque, then Shariah Law — coming soon to a lot near you.

Broncos' Moreno has made most of second chanceBy ARNIE STAPLETON , Associated Press
Jan. 14, 2014 3:59 PM ET
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — His return from offseason knee surgery still a few days away, Knowshon Moreno sauntered over to the sideline one hot August afternoon in training camp. In front of him were two young running backs having trouble picking up first downs and blitzes.

3 of 3
Asked who he thought would win the featured role in the Denver Broncos' backfield, Moreno nodded and flashed a sneaky smile, then spun back to the trainer's room.
Enough said.
Neither Ronnie Hillman nor Montee Ball would pry the football from his grasp, something nobody's been able to do since Atlanta linebacker Stephen Nicholas stripped him on Sept. 17, 2012, which resulted in Moreno's two-month banishment to the scout team.
That penance left Moreno determined "if I ever do get that call again" to let neither the opportunity nor the football slip through his grasp again.
Willis McGahee's injury gave Moreno that shot at redemption, and he's lived up to that pledge ever since: in 479 touches since that fateful fumble against the Falcons, Moreno has gotten up with the football in his hands all 479 times.
"He plays this game in a way that I absolutely love because it's every bit of who he is, and he gives you every bit of what he has," Broncos running backs coach Eric Studesville said. "He's so amped up and hyped up before the game because he's so excited for it and then he plays with that intensity and that energy and that effort."
Moreno holds nothing back, not even his tears, which were captured by TV cameras during the National Anthem when the Broncos visited Kansas City last month.
Moreno said in those moments before kickoff, he reflects on all the good and the bad things that have happened in his life and in football and how much he appreciates the opportunity to play the game.
That's when the tears flow.
"I've always been that way, high school and in college," Moreno said. "I guess it's just my thing, you know? I play with my emotions on my sleeve."
Moreno has had his share of ups and downs in the NFL.
After replacing McGahee in 2012, he ran for 510 yards and three TDs in the final six games but blew out a knee early in Denver's playoff game against Baltimore.
Without him, the Broncos were unable to run out the clock in the fourth quarter behind an undersized Hillman, which led to their loss to the Ravens in double-overtime.
That prompted the Broncos to draft Ball, the bruising 215-pound Badger who scored an NCAA-record 83 touchdowns at Wisconsin, and Hillman bulked up to 195 pounds in the offseason.
While Moreno continued his rehab from his knee injury, Ball and Hillman battled for the No. 1 job but both made too many mistakes to earn the trust of the coaches or Peyton Manning. And while all eyes were on them, Moreno — the Broncos' biggest back at 220 pounds — quietly got healthy and brought fresh legs and experience to the equation.
This season he became the first running back in team history to top 1,000 yards rushing and 500 receiving, and he scored a career-high 13 TDs.
Moreno's proficiency at catching the ball out of the backfield proved the best antidote for all the beatings Manning was taking at midseason, when opponents quit defending Denver's record-setting offense with zones in favor of more man coverage, which freed up another pass-rusher to go after the quarterback.
Moreno is not only the Broncos' best running back at picking up the blitz, but his sure hands keep linebackers busy in coverage or freeze them on play-action, which makes the Broncos, who scored an NFL-record 606 points, all the more dangerous.
"He has just been a rock for us back there," said Manning, who praised Moreno's uncanny ability to navigate through traffic while also challenging tacklers head on.
Moreno has been a pleasant surprise to Manning, who knew what he had in targets Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas but spent the offseason wondering what he would have with him in the backfield.
"You never know coming off an injury, especially that running back position," Manning said. "He's been a huge part of our offense this year."
Moreno's biggest game came at New England in November, when he rushed for 244 yards on 37 carries in a game the Broncos lost 34-31 in overtime.
The rematch is Sunday when the Broncos (14-3) host the Patriots (13-4) in the AFC championship with the winner heading for the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium, about an hour's drive from Middletown, N.J., where Moreno grew up.
It's one more opportunity he's determined not to let slip away.

I heard a stat from the spice company McCormick recently that the average American pantry has about 40 herbs, spices and flavorings. (Our photo studio spice racks, pictured here, have 100!) That's a lot of jars, tins and bottles stacked precariously and tumbling out every time you rummage for the cumin.
I don't have a solution for chronic cabinet cascade—but I have figured out a way to buy less of the herbs and spices I don't use often, and more of the ones I do, all for lower prices than at the grocery store. I shop in bulk at a local natural foods store. (For me, that's New City Market in Des Moines.)
Bulk spices are priced by weight, and you just self-serve the amount you want. The prices are comparable to or often substantially less than the little supermarket jars. It also gives me control over the quantity I buy; I can serve myself a generous amount of a favorite spice like cumin and just a smidgen of an obscure spice like whole coriander that I only need for one recipe.
It may be my imagination, but the spices seem fresher to me, with richer colors and more intense aromas. Plus, portioning out spices with little wooden scoops is just so fun, like playing apothecary!
Once I get my baggies home, I tip the spices into $1 spice jars from Bed, Bath and Beyond, so all my spices are in the same-size jars. I do still have to rummage, but at least things look tidier! What's your solution to out-of-control spices?

A FORMER soldier who served tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq has been jailed for drug smuggling.
Ex-Lance Corporal Naomi Thriepland, 25, even used her seven-year-old daughter as a cover, telling customs officials they had been to Disneyland Paris.
But when British officers searched the 25-year-old's BMW convertible at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel in France, they found drugs worth £172,000 hidden inside the fold-down roof.
In 2009, TV viewers saw Thriepland's daughter Aiesha crying when she was given the chance to speak to her mum via satellite link from the GMTV sofa. But the full story of the respected soldier's fall from grace was revealed on Monday when she was jailed for four years at Canterbury Crown Court, Kent, after admitting drug smuggling.
Thriepland, who is four months pregnant, will now give birth to her second child behind bars.
The court heard how she had been attached to a bomb disposal unit with the Grenadier Guards during her six-year career. But, after leaving the Army, she struggled to make ends meet on her £100 a week pay as a trainee beautician.
She accepted £8000 to drive to Amsterdam and load up with 3.44kg of heroin and 12kg of cutting agents caffeine and paracetamol, but was stopped by customs on December 5, 2011.
Jailing her, Judge Heather Norton said: "You made that trip in order to plan the drug smuggling run, and you did what you did for financial gain. More than that, you took your child with you, putting that child at risk.
"You claim you became a courier to give her a better life but that child is now likely to suffer more than you."
Thriepland broke down in tears when the judge, praising her Army career, added: "You have served this country with a number of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and in perilous positions, so whatever else can be said about you, this was certainly out of character."
Thriepland, from Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria, denied making previous drug runs to Europe but admitted she had made a "dummy run" a month earlier.
Christopher Baur, defending, told the court she had not acted in "malice or wickedness but rather stupidity and with an element of greed" and she wanted "better conditions for
her child".
He said: "She naturally regrets her involvement and she has shown remorse. She clearly did not think through the dangers or the harmful effects on potential users of the drugs.
"The child is now living with an aunt and Thriepland is 16 weeks pregnant. She is in a long-term relationship with the child's father. The situation she finds herself in is dire because she wasn't coerced into it but neither was she a major player in the enterprise. She was quite naive."
Malcolm Bragg, from the Border Force, said yesterday: "Drug trafficking is a serious offence. Officers will continue to work diligently to make life as tough as possible for those who seek to profit from this evil trade."
