I think it's kind of funny that under the "Personality" tab, my top three traits are "more wealthy," "more sloppy," and "more drug friendly." C'mon Okcupid, how do you come up with some of these? I'm not the rich, filthy drug addict you've painted me as. More like a slightly untidy, occasional drug user.
If I had to pick three words to describe myself: compassionate, creative and odd.
I love art: painting, drawing, writing, film making.
I'm always excited to see new movies and what other people are creating too.
If you can make me laugh I'll love you forever. I'm a big fan of clever and witty humor, but also things that are just downright goofy. I'm completely ridiculous and silly at times....it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
Movies: The lion king, Antichrist, The little princess, Fried green tomatoes, adaptation, Enter the void, Trainspotting, 28 days later, Happiness, NBK, Ponyo, American beauty, White Oleander, Knocked up, Ghost world, Hallpass, Balto, Timer, Spun, Teeth, Terms of endearment....plus a million more
Shows: It's always sunny, The Simpsons, Southpark, Intervention, Extreme makeover (the original, not the house one), Arrested Development, King of the Hill, Wife Swap (I know, that's kind of embarrassing), Louie, Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Breaking Bad
Music: The Smiths, Tom Waits, PJ Harvey, Wu tang clan, Regina spektor, The rolling stones, Empire of the sun, Blink 182, JayZ, Eminem, System of a down, Kimya Dawson, Crystal castles, Creedance clear water revival, Taylor swift, Tech N9ne,Ozzy, The XX, Santigold, Third eye blind, The middle east, Matt and Kim, The Beatles, Cat power, The magnetic fields, Bassnectar, Static X, lots of alternative rock and Techno....infinite others
emotional support
weird experiences
a cool pet
You think pole dancing would be good times, mostly because you're goofy
You're looking for a travel buddy/fellow wanderer
You have something intriguing to say
You don't understand why anyone would get a tramp stamp, especially a Hello Kitty tramp stamp.

Stop The Tragedies. - Poem by nina ...
Rising from the ashes
like a victim of the KKK
From natural disasters and plane crashes
these things happen everyday
Living through the tragedies on the earth
like a teenage girl with no friends
From an increase in dearth
to an increase in wanting life to end
Training men to be so called peacemakers
and sending them off to war
From nonviable men spread over acre
to none left to adore
Stopping bad things from happening all together
like myspace stopping for a day
From no more disastorous weather
and no more thinking everything isnt okay
No one shedding anymore tears
like they dried up from the heat of global warming
From no one having fears
and no thought of global storming
When will it all end
when will we not cry
When will the world mend
when will we start to try
We need to speak out
we need to work as a whole
Just stand up and speak any amount
we all play an important role
Every little bit will count
ecspecially if its from your soul.

Rios-Ramos Preview
Always-exciting featherweight Ronny Rios (19-0, 9 KOs), of Santa Ana, Calif., puts his unbeaten record on the line when he faces former WBA Super Bantamweight World Champion Rico Ramos (21-1, 11 KOs), of Los Angeles, for the vacant NABF title on Friday night at Fantasy Springs Casino Resort in Indio, California.
The 22-year-old Rios, a stablemate of WBC world champions Abner Mares and Daniel Ponce de Leon is taking a significant leap in class after being steadily stepped up in recent fights. "I've been training really hard, and we really want to take advantage of this opportunity that's been presented to us," said Rios. "I'm looking forward to a good fight."
IBF #7/WBA #8 Ramos, 25, captured the WBA 122-pound world title in his 20th pro fight with a spectacular, come-from-behind, one-punch, seventh-round knockout over Akifumi Shimoda in July 2011 is seeking his second consecutive victory since losing the WBA crown in his first defense to Guillermo Rigondeaux 12 months ago.
Rios is a gym rat who enjoys reading mystery novels in his spare time. He has campaigned at featherweight and junior lightweight the last few years, making his 10-round debut in his last start.
Ramos has been fighting at or around 122 pounds since going pro in March 2008. However, this move north in weight isn't necessarily a permanent one. "I just want to see how I feel at 126 because I know I'm strong at 122. We're going to see where it takes us right now. I can still make 122, but I just want to see where the opportunities are. This isn't a permanent move up in weight."
Reunited with trainer Charles "Chili" Wilson, Ramos is primed for a top effort. "I've been working on a lot of stuff: throwing more punches, not tensing up too much, throwing more combinations with a lot of movement and not standing straight up," he said. "I'm ready for all fighters from 122 to 126. I'll be back on top. I'm happy to be back."
Showtime's Stave Farhood, whose network is televising the fight, says "It's a crossroads fight because Rios needs to prove he can become a contender and Ramos needs to prove he's still a top-10 fighter. This is a fascinating style matchup with Rios being the pressure fighter and Ramos the boxer-puncher."

help needed with image design
I need some help with a basic image design, and graphic design is definitely not my strong point. I know we have some PhotoShop wizards out there, so I thought I might ask around.
We need a watermark to place over images in the Hotrodders Photo Album. A watermark is a small, somewhat transparent image that is placed on top of a photograph. This will prevent people from stealing our uploaded photos and using them on other websites. It's a little bit annoying to see something added to your photo, but unfortunately, it's necessary.
I can't get the transparency right, and it definitely does not look correct. Here are a couple of examples (you can really see the flaw in the second watermarked pic):
This is a few minutes of work for someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to graphics, but that definitely isn't me. Is there someone out there who can design us a decent watermark?

sorry Jon....
i don't know squat about graphics, but i would like to see some pics of your garden when your 'crop' is ready
I wondered what that was on the bottom of the pictures.
I can`t help you eather jon. Is that a garden space in the second picture? Ofcourse I know what that is in the first picture.
Some strange things happened yesterday when I was playing around in the new photo album. I had some pictures that would not go in, it did not say why. I didn`t edit any of them,but the ones that didn`t go were large.
On the first try,the little coupe street rod showed up in my album, or it looks like it did. On the second try there was a folder full of files, don`t know where it came from or whoes it was,after that I didn`t see it anymore. Uploading was easer than before. Now all I need to know is how to download my album and move it
Keep up the good work,you might get a raise.
How about a thumbs up smiley, and a hi 5 .
What are the size restraints for the image in pixels? And what file type is best used for this?
I can give it a try if you like.
Craig -- I think it's got to be a GIF, since it has to support transparency. Width should be about 200-300 pixels, height should be about 10-25 pixels. Font doesn't really matter. Some sort of text shadowing might be good, since it needs to display on both dark and light backgrounds.
Troy -- keep at it. I saw some weird stuff in your album too. I'll keep an eye on it, that's what this test phase is for. Some of the larger pics might have gotten rejected because they were too big. We could use a couple more smilies, I think the display order of smilies needs to be fixed too, so that the more common smilies are displayed first on the list.

Something like this Jon?
You can set the opacity of the text in CorelDraw and save it in any format you like (gif, jpg, bmp, tiff). This is with opacity set right in the middle. In addition there is a hidden watermark plug-in that embeds the Digimarc data if you prefer something less obvious, I can't see the Digimarc data when you look at a photo even at the maximum "visible" setting but of course, they want you to buy a subscription for this service.
Everything I manipulated on this photo was done in PhotoPaint8 which comes with the CorelDraw8 suite of software, here is the original photo with only the logo changed (with respect to the real Bob the Builder and it's registered owners Hit Entertainment and Lyrick Studios ).
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

I don't know if it will help but check these out.
This explains how to do it with PhotoShop.
Hope one of these helps you out.

It looks like I might have to break down and actually pay for software . Most everything I use is either free or shareware or homemade. I thought I might be able to find a little watermark utility for mac, but I couldn't find anything at download.com or my other usual sources. Kevin -- that PhotoMark software is exactly what I'm looking for, but unfortunately they're Windows-only.
I use something now called GraphicConverter. I can do transparency, but I can't adjust the opacity, and the text features are minimal.

The watermark is probably your best bet, as far as disabling the right click, the first time that I ever ran into that, it took me about 5 minutes of messing around to figure how to get around that.
The watermarks work really good for more than just keeping other sites from stealing your pictures, it is also a way to get people to check out your site. When someone hotlinks to a picture that is stored on your server to show someone at another car site something the watermark serves as an advertisement as to where the cool cars are.
The problem with copyrighting in this case is that copyright belongs to the individual whose intillectual property the image is, meaning if I take a photo, you cannot legally claim copyright.
Same goes for any artwork on this site.
There has been some interest in the design put forward in the t-shirt contest number 54 i think it is, anyhow this image actually belongs to MOON EYES, I have seen it on their site and I think it may have actually been used for some advertising. Correct me if I am wrong.
Watermarks are a good way to link the photos on this site, a Copyright warning on the pages where the images are is better than putting say.. copyright hotrodders.com. Better still make it clear that the images on the pages are copyrighted to the person who created it and all rights are reserved by that person.
Continued from last post:
Disabling the right click is not a bad idea but there are some very good screen capture programs around so this isnt really foolproof.
Making the images look ok but when they are printed are too low resolution to be of any use is the best protection from being ripped off.
I guess the end of it is that there is no real sure fire way of protecting the images and anything you do will only keep the honest people from using the images.
Sorry this was a bit long winded
Thanks guys. My biggest concern is some scumbag webmaster grabbing all our member pics, and putting them up on some other website: HotroddersPics.com or something like that. I'm assuming that a webmaster will be able to get around most image display tricks, but a watermark will at least ensure that the images have to be edited one-by-one. I thought the Digital Millenium Copyright Act was supposed to take care of a lot of these things, but it doesn't really look like it's being widely enforced, so we're on our own for now.
Good point jamnut, it also provides free advertising for our site. Normally I would feel a little weird about using people's pics to advertise our site, but I guess it's just an added bonus of watermarking.
Craig -- can you PM me a link to where you've seen #54 before? That's something we definitely want to avoid.

Speaking of scumbags...
Since we are on the topic of scumbags, has anyone else been inundated with trash in their inbox since that very "nice" guy came here and mined the site for e-mail addresses? Every since that day it has been non-stop junk coming everyday. I'm pretty sure it was him because it literally happened the day I blasted him on one of the threads.
Let me know by PM or post here if you have experienced the same.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
Ugh. Thanks Craig -- I'm going to PM the submitter of that design to see what I can find out.
Chuck -- I haven't noticed an increase in spam, but I'm getting so many now it's hard to tell. There is a weird spam from a few years back that is making the rounds again, from a person who is looking for a vendor for a Dimensional Warp Generator. It's attached.

1930u Cyclone 4" Purple Hornies

I wonder if there could possibly be a new old stock original set of 4" Purple Hornies left anywhere in the world?
I bought a set of 3" (pn BIG-50232FLT) from Summit in November of '05 for $74.
Like these?
Just what I need for the roadster... :thumbup:

Just like I would love to stumble on a pair of these:
Sweetest sounding Turbo muffler I ever heard.
Flashback time!
This post brings back memories of the local town marshall stopping me and telling me I had to put mufflers on my car or he was going to give me a ticket.
I said, John look underneath , I heve a brand new set of Purple Hornies. He gave me an odd look, then looked under my 1969 Z28, said well I dont know if those are legal or not.
He never stopped me again , but I tried to keep a lighter foot after that when I was in his town.
I'm a little late to the party, but I missed this thread a month or so ago.
I'm just wondering what an original set of Cyclone Purple Hornies would be worth? They are definately different looking than the new Flowtech version.

I think you put the answer right in-front of yourself; money is tight and he doesn't care. You are sacraficing nearly everything you have to help feed his addiction and keep a roof over your head. You even say its a waste of a life!
Call the police and have them scare him. Easy way out is they cofiscate it and call it a day. Something a little tougher is have him sent to a state Teen Court program where he'll get community service. The worst it could go is a Jail sentence of a month. Wether he's in Jail or he gets community service, you are going to be helping him. If you let him continue smoking and thinking being the biggest pothead in the school is the best thing, he'll just keep on digging himself a deeper hole.
By the way, don't lay a finger on him, beating him up isn't going to do anything. It'll just make him hate you more.

Top Five Reasons Why Stockhausen's Music is Hot
For much of his life, the composer Karlheinz Stockhausen was at best considered a cult figure in the realm of contemporary music. But recently the composer has posthumously stepped in from the margins and into the mainstream.
Last season, the New York Philharmonic ended its season with Gruppen the composer's work for three orchestras; last summer his Helicopter String Quartet flew above England during a performance of the opera Mittwoch; and this month the Park Avenue Armory stages the New York premiere of Oktophonie. Stockhausen's once un-stageable works are now regular occurrences, and we're contemplating the top five reasons why Stockhausen is so popular right now.
1. Celebrity Endorsements
Stockhausen has a cult following, but that cult includes a number of household names. Over the years he's been named checked by the Beatles (who included his likeness on their Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover), Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, Bjork, and Animal Collective. With fans like these, Stockhausen transcends the normal contemporary music audiences
2. A Love of Spectacle
The man knew how to create a spectacle. In addition to works for three orchestras, and flying string ensembles, he wrote an opera for two auditoriums, demanded his musicians play while suspended from ceilings, and that doesn't include the difficulties of actually playing his music, which is has made certain works unable to be recorded.
3. Solid Musical Foundation
Lest we forget, Stockhausen was a serious musician with an impressive resume. He enrolled at the State Academy of Music in Cologne, spent summers at Darmstadt (where he became one of the festival's best-known figures) and studied with Oliver Messiaen at the Paris Conservatory. Though he's often remembered for the spectacles he manufactured, Stockhausen, at his core, was a visionary whose work with electronic music and novel sounds sometimes obscure the solid foundations of his compositional principles.
4. Controversial Statements
Controversy often followed Stockhausen, which added extra intrigue to his already mythically ambitious output. The composer has as many critics as he had defenders. The British philosopher and musicologist Roger Scruton once said, Stockhausen "is not so much an Emperor with no clothing, but a splendid set of clothes with no Emperor." Of course scandal didn't just center on his music. Stockhausen caused a bit of outrage when he misguidedly likened 9/11 to a work of art. He later apologized for his statement.
5. Curious Fans
Alex Ross predicted this. In his 2008 review of the Berlin Philharmonic's performance of Gruppen at Terminal 2 at Tempelhof Airport, the New Yorker scribe presciently wrote: "Within a few years, I suspect, aromatic Stockhausen fans will once again be filling American halls." Or perhaps, Ross's prophecy was self-fulfilling.

Hi there,
I am wondering if anyone has some ideas for how I can break the habit of car rides for napping and start (I know it is rather late in the game for this) getting 2year old DS to take naps in his bed?
Background: DS used to go down for naps at home pretty easily, and when he is at daycare (3x/week) he apparently goes down no problem. But I was heavily pregnant and utterly exhausted over the summer and somehow got DSinto the habit of going for a car ride to nap. I'd then transfer him into bed.
I am now on maternity leave w/ a newborn and DS. All 3 of us could use the nap, DS is an exhausted bear by 5pm if he doesn't nap.
I've tried lying down w/ him, but to no avail.
HELP! Any ideas? Want to do this gently with respect and love.
Routine is key, but it also sounds like he may be over tired when you are trying to put him down. Try 30 min. to an hour earlier than what you are doing now. My son usually falls asleep in the car and I transfer him, but on days that we are home in the morning, he goes down for naps easily unless I miss the window of opportunity. We do have a routine, lunch then immediately afterward we go upstairs and I close the shades, the door, turn on the fan, make sure he is in comfortable, dry clothes and dry diaper. Then off to his bed. Very little talking, and when I do I talk, it's quietly and I move carefully. No stories either because he will not relax if I do. Sometimes I have to rub his back or hold his hand, but he loves to go to sleep in his bed, so if it is not beyond the window of opportunity, then he'll fall asleep easily. Sometimes he gets upset briefly and wants to read or do something and I just stay firm and focus on soothing. Once in a while he refuses and if that is happening I rock him in the rocking chair or in my arms while standing (very exhausting, 35lbs.) and he goes to sleep. Only once or twice in the past 6 months a has he refused completely to nap.

OpenSSL Instructions for Generating CSRs Using OpenSSL to generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) for a VT Global Qualified Web Server or Middleware Certificate:
NOTE: It is recommended that the native WIndows Server certmanager utility be used to create CSRs (certificate signing requests), however OpenSSL may also be used to perform this function.
If needed, use the links below to download and install the most current recommended version of OpenSSL. OpenSSL is free to download and use.
- OpenSSL source from OpenSSL.org - for Linux users
- Windows users will need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributables before OpenSSL will function properly
- OpenSSL binaries for Microsoft Windows 32 - for Windows users
- Openssl is a command line program - Windows 7 users can type cmd [Enter] in the Start -> "Search Programs and Files" box. Windows 8.1 users can navigate to the Apps by name page, Windows System section and select Command Prompt. In the resulting dos box type cd c:\openssl\bin or cd c:\openssl-win64\bin as the case may be.
- Generate the RSA key pair and certificate signing request (CSR)
as follows (use the default file names key.pem and
req.pem or substitue your own file names). You must specify your key
size to be at least 2048 bits.
$openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out req.pem -nodes
If you wish to encrypt your private key then do not include the -nodes option.
- The previous command will result in a dialog with openssl that requests DN attributes to complete the CSR. There are no special requirements to include specific DN attributes in the CSR that you generate.
You may simply respond to the prompts and provide values for the
default attributes that are presented in the dialog. For example:
Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]: press enter for default
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:press enter for default
Locality Name (eg, city) [ ]:press enter for default
Organization Name (eg, company) [internet Widgets Pty Ltd]:press enter for default
Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) [ ]:press enter for default
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) [ ]: press enter for default
Email Address [ ]: press enter for default
'Extra' Attributes:
A challenge password [ ]: press enter for default
An optional company name [ ]: press enter for default
Important: Be sure to keep all of the files created in the above procedure and any passwords used in a safe place.
For more information on using openssl see Manual page for the openssl command line tool

Forrester's CEO Hip With Mobile Marketing
Posted by Julie M. Katz on April 11, 2007
- 312 Recommendations
- 8 comments
In his welcome to the crowd of 600 marketers, sponsors, and guests at the Marketing Forum, Forrester CEO George Colony showed that he understands the power of technology for marketing. "The last frontier," George said, "is the connection of the physical world to the digital world." He illustrated with the use of QR codes in Japan has put marketing in the palm of consumers' hands. The US isn't as advanced in its use of mobile bar codes or mobile marketing in general -- mobile marketing is the wild East, so to speak. Mobile marketing presents a challenge both on the technology integration front and on the customer-centricity front because of the incredibly personal nature of the device. Christine Overby just published Best Practices for US mobile marketing to give marketers an idea of what US marketers are doing in the mobile space now.

Hi there,It's no longer an eastern thing. Watch Zurich's main station ads:http://mobile.kaywa.com/qr-code-data-matrix/qr-code-in-main-station.html

Thanks, Roger! We're working like gangbusters here to get our posts up in real-time, so I'm sorry I neglected Europe's amazing contribution to mobile marketing. Thanks for the great example.

Roger,In the future will the kaywa codes be able to be read by the mobile platform called Qode?I am hearing some much about it being a universal reader?What is your take on this?
re: Forrester's CEO Hip With Mobile Marketing
Comment from streetstylz (not verified) on Wed, 04/11/2007 - 20:54
NeoMedia's mobile code reading platform qode is making tremendous strides in Europe as well as here in North America. With a great showing at CTIA, tremendous media coverage from the New York Times, and their involvement with the Mobile Codes Consortium, qode is on its way to becoming the code-agnostic universal reader with its soon to be released upgrade version capable of reading UPC, Aztec, Datamatrix, and QR codes.Best,Seanhttp://streetstylz.blogspot.com/
re: Forrester's CEO Hip With Mobile Marketing
Comment from Roger (not verified) on Thu, 04/12/2007 - 14:02
Sorry to say that. Why support the mobile platform Qcode? Kaywa supports the two open ISO standards - ISO - International Standard Organization Codes: QR Code and Datamatrix. Both codes are well documented and are used by a lot of companies - which is great!Nokia in their cellphones N93, N95 supports them as well, and whole Japan for the QR Code.If Qcode supports the ISO Standards that's great, but nobody certainly needs to support Qcode to support the ISO/JIS/AIM standards:)
re: Forrester's CEO Hip With Mobile Marketing
Comment from streetstylz (not verified) on Thu, 04/12/2007 - 18:17
Like-wise Roger,Why support the mobile code reading platform Kaywa?You see, it goes both ways.If Kaywa supports the ISO Standards that's great, but nobody certainly needs to support Kaywa to support the ISO/JIS/AIM standards.They can download qode for free, which can decipher UPC/EAN, Datamatrix, Aztec, and QR codes. In addition, qode offers a google-like search for keywords, as well as manual barcode number entry for UPCs.With all due respect Roger, it is spelled "QODE" and not how you have been purposely misspelling it across the web.Regards
re: Forrester's CEO Hip With Mobile Marketing
Comment from Roger (not verified) on Sat, 04/14/2007 - 08:53
Dear Julie Katz,I try to respond to streetstylz. Sorry for using your blog for it.Dear streetstylz,>> Why support the mobile code reading platform Kaywa?You absolutely don't have to use the Kaywa platform to use QR Codes:) Take the Nokia N95 which just came out. Create your QR Codes (with the firefox plugin, our free and open platform or any other site like pukupi's etc.) and just use it, without anything from Kaywa nor Qode:)That's my point: as QR Codes and Datamatrix are open technologies everybody is free to use it either with platforms for statistics and other reasons (support of SMS and Shortcodes etc.) or without them.And you are right, if you want more - and we both hope clients want more - , you have choice, and that's only good:)PS: Sorry for mispelling Qode, it was not intentional.I just think it's not the best name as there could be a confusion between QR Codes (the open ISO/AIM/JIS-Standard) and the proprietory platform Qode from Neomedia.PS2: Why we only see the Aztec Code, when the Qode platform can read QR Codes and Datamatrix as well and which are in much more widespread use?
re: Forrester's CEO Hip With Mobile Marketing
Comment from say what (not verified) on Sat, 04/14/2007 - 13:48
Good rebuttle and question at the end Roger.One could only assume that there is a collaborative effort between the makers of Aztec Codes and Qode.Maybe it has to do with the amount of content stored within the code itself?

Any ideas what this twisted pair of wires did before I split them?
So, I was drilling a hole to run some of my new romex cables, and split a pair of twisted wires with my drill. :eek: :mad:
These twisted wires were twisted around a nail on a rafter that would be at the top of the first image below, and is just off screen to the right on the next two images.
It's a hard area to look into. I looked good enough to see there was no electrical cable running where I was drilling, but should have looked more to catch this.
As a temporary fix, I've separated the black and white wires from each other and electrical taped their ends (separately, of course.)
As bad as the electrical has been in my house, I can't see these running 120v electricity.
This is at the back of the house. I can't trace one direction well because it goes into the brick exterior wall. I can't easily trace the other direction because someone put up a cheap stapled ceiling instead of an actual drop ceiling.
My first thought was that it might be the wire between the thermostat and the air conditioning. But, I was able to turn on the air conditioner for a moment. (Never done that before when it was 32 degrees out.) Furnace works fine, too.
The only other thing I can guess is that it might be a back doorbell wire. There isn't a back doorbell, and wasn't one when we bought the house, but maybe there used to be.
This is in a basement, it's a family room sized room.
Anyone have any idea what these are?
Would you re-connect these? I figure I could always split apart 6" of my 12/2 cable to get the black and white wires, and wire nut at both ends.
Would you trace it back to figure out what it is for, even though this means ripping apart a ceiling that you can't put back up?
Twisted pair wires are used for speakers, alarm wiring, and some control wiring. If you are really curious put a meter on them. I suspect that if they actually do something you will find out eventually. Just to be safe I would cap off all the wires individually.
Other possiblty is old thermost cable as well which it is no longer used.
Solid core or stranded wire?
Just figure out what no longer works.
But I would put a meter on it to see if you have voltage....look for 24 Vac....if you have it....most likely a door bell....which means it may have toasted the transformer.....
That doesn't really look like "twisted pair" cable to me. It looks like two #12 or #14 fabric insulated conductors that someone twisted together themselves. I would not rule out the possibility that it carries 120V power.

Ballard High students experience almost-real medical emergencies (slideshow)
(Click on photo to start slideshow)
Eight high school students stand around in blue surgical gowns and fumble to put on their gloves in a sterile manner before focusing their attention on the pregnant woman in the OR. The patient is covered in surgical drapes, only her belly and head are exposed. The monitors are beeping, tubes are coming from her mouth and she's prepped to deliver a baby by vaginal birth or Caesarian Section. The students circle the bed and nurse technician hands shears or a different medical instrument to each student.
In a nearby room a car accident victim lies on the floor. He has sustained wounds to his neck, cheek and head. His left foot, although still intact, is turning a suspicious purple color. Some bones on his other foot are exposed and his little toe is missing. The paramedic is talking about checking the patient's airways but the surrounding girls can't stop staring at the patient's severed toe.
On Tuesday, 30 Ballard High School students got to experience what it's like to see a patient flat lining, to insert a breathing tube into an unconscious man's throat and to check a patient's vitals.
The students were the first high schoolers to visit the Gossman Center in a program to introduce students to non-physician track careers.
None of the patients in the Grossman Pediatric and Perinatal Simulation Center on First Hill are real. They are life-sized, computer-controlled patient mannequins that represent children of all ages and mothers during childbirth. Each is integrated with wireless hardware and advanced software that create preplanned training scenarios mirroring situations calling for rapid response by medical teams.
The mannequins can mimic human sounds made by the lungs, heart or bowel. They will cry, exhale, inhale, move their arms and legs, blink, and talk to practitioners. They can even simulate the appearance of blood and urine, respond to treatment, and have a heart attack.
At nearly $300,000 a pop, these dolls are the closest practitioners can get to an emergency involving a real human being. The Grossman center is used by doctors and nurses to
"Our goal is to expose kids to medical careers they may not have heard of and which don't take years of college," said Theresa Demeter, the Gossman Center's director.
"These career paths are for those students interested in the medical field but don't necessarily want to go to school for four to 12 years to become a physician."
Students were introduced to five career paths: Radiology / X-ray Technician:, EMT and paramedic, surgery technician, nursing and simulation as a career in itself.
"This gives them an idea of the options. It only takes six to 12 months to become a scrub technician at a Tech school," said Leslee Goetz, Clinical Director of Grossman who was supervising the students in the OR.
Goetz has been a laboring nurse for years and said the best thing about her career is the variety. "I teach, write procedures, speak at conferences, and do expert witnessing. I've done ten different things in my one career path.
Madi Blavka, a Freshmen at BHS, said she's been interested in a medical since she was little. She has a particular interest in sport medicine but that may haved changed after the day at Grossman. "It's interesting to experience a different side of the medical field than what I was interested in before," she said.
DeMeter said Swedish is planning on holding introductory events like this four times a year .
"We need more people in the medical field and there was a lot of interest from students. We could have easily had 60 kids here today."

The Tampa Tribune reported Tuesday morning that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had signed wide receiver Paris Warren to a one-year contract worth $510,000.
Warren, who missed all of last season with a dislocated ankle, was an exclusive rights free agent, meaning the Buccaneers were the only team that could re-sign Warren before free agency began on Feb. 29.
Warren was on his way to a roster spot before injuring his ankle in the final preseason game on Aug. 30 against Houston. The injury, some believed, threatened Warren's career. But during the Bucs' final locker room availability in January he said the injury was fully healed and that he would be ready for offseason workouts.
Some, including Bucs GM Bruce Allen, have credited Warren's injury with galvanizing the team early in the season.
Warren automatically becomes a player in a murky wide receiver battle where veterans Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard are the only sure things. Michael Clayton is under contract but remains an enigma, while Maurice Stovall is rehabbing an elbow injury suffered against San Francisco on Dec. 23.
The Bucs have not announced the signing.

Fans of Dancing On Ice will of course know that last weekend, the controversial decision to drop rugby star Gareth Thomas from the show following a bout of illness prompted a furore among viewers and indeed backstage…
The shock decision – which was made after Gareth was too ill to perform in the skate off – meant that Olympic stars Beth Tweddle and Luke Campbell and actor Matt Lapinskas automatically went through to this weekend's final.
And although Gareth will in fact perform this weekend in a group medley skate, he of course won't be in with a chance of winning…
The Sun reports that when he learned he was automatically through to the final, Luke was upset and felt that he hadn't "earned" his place in the last stages of the contest.
He said of Gareth, "They should have put all four through."
Of last weekend's dramatic turn of events, Luke's fellow contestant Matt said, "It was chaos backstage.
"We didn't know we were skating again until we heard Phillip say it."
I guess it remains to be seen how that debacle pans out, but one thing's for sure and it's that Pamela Anderson has returned to the ice to train for her part in the group performances for tomorrow night.
TV Biz reports, "Tomorrow night Pam and partner Matt Evers will take part in a medley with other contestants."
A show source said, "Though it's not a full performance. Pam's been rehearsing hard to get it right."
She of course left the contest in the first week after a stumble and a wardrobe malfunction saw her being the first to be voted off.
Here's a reminder of Pam talking about that shock result, but please do let us know if you think Gareth should be reinstated as a contestant for the final…

Groves calls Froch offer 'unsatisfactory'
Super middleweight contender 'Saint' George Groves has announced that he turned down an 'unsatisfactory' offer to fight heated rival Carl Froch, but insists it is a fight he wants to take place sooner rather than later. "I am unsure why Carl Froch has today released a statement implying I do not wish to take the fight, as I was under the impression we are still in negotiations," said Groves. "The Matchroom offer in question came with many stipulations and options I felt were unsatisfactory. I am currently awaiting an improved offer from his promoter, as well as speaking to other promoters interested in promoting this fight.
"If I didn't want to fight Carl Froch then I wouldn't have invested so much time and money into appealing with the IBF over the dubious outcome of the first fight. And I await the outcome of that hearing in the very near future."
