What is Hot Yoga?
Try our State-of-the-Art Hot Yoga Studio.
Hot Yoga is the practice of yoga postures in a room that is heated between 85-105 degrees and is one of the fastest growing styles of yoga in the world. Hot yoga is a broad term referring to any form of yoga that is practiced in a heated room. Many "methods" of Hot Yoga have been branded based on the name of their founder or brand, such as Barkan, Bikram, Baptiste, Moksha and Core Power Hot Yoga. The differences between these styles lie in their approach to the heat, beliefs, and posture choices.
Our approach to Hot Yoga is as varied as our student base. All yoga approaches can be beneficial when practiced with mindfulness and compassion for the needs of each individual. We offer a fantastic variety of over 50 signature hot yoga classes weekly to meet the needs of all practitioners from beginner to advanced students, as well as those with specific physical limitations.

I've been doing yoga for over 25 years at studios all over the world, and - not to gush too much - this is my favorite place I've ever done yoga. The classes are absolutely outstanding - from basics to my favorite, hot detox - but that's not the best part…–Ali T.
...The best part is the vibe - the space, the staff, the instructors. You can tell they've gone out of their way to cultivate something really special, a place that puts you immediately at ease and allows you to destress, detox and truly leave the world at the door. In addition there is a constant flow of truly fantastic workshops.–Ali T.
I love everything about the Wilmington Yoga Center. You truly feel like you're part of a community from the moment you walk in, even as a beginner. That's how it was when I first started coming in 2005(ish), and it just gets better through the years. –Jennifer B.
I am a frequent visitor to Wilmington, and one of my MUST stops every trip is the Wilmington Yoga Center. Having lived and practiced in almost every major city in the country - New York, San Francisco, Chicago, LA, San Diego - my experience at WYC is one of the best I've found.–Mercedes W.
As someone that has only done yoga at home, I find the Wilmington Yoga Center very welcoming and not at all intimidating.–Jen G.
I have been fortunate to have travelled a lot, and I have rarely visited a yoga studio as good as the Wilmington Yoga Center. I am a better person, both physically and spiritually because of this place and the people who work here.–Dave B.
How fortunate I am that my favorite yoga studio of all time is in my current home town. I've been practicing yoga for about 15 years and have taken classes in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New York, Texas, California, Michigan, Delaware and Amsterdam. The variety of classes offered at the Wilmington Yoga Center is awesome.–Sean H.
The Wilmington Yoga Center offers an incredible experience. Not only does WYC have classes that meet just about anyone's schedule but the instructors bring their individual strengths to each class... which makes your yoga experience very special. No matter what your level, the instructors provide opportunities for you to get the most out of your practice.–Muffy S.
I have never seen a studio offer so many options. Yoga teachers tend to be kind and helpful in general everywhere you go but this studio has found some real gems for teachers.–Sean H.
I have tried many different yoga studios in Wilmington and the surrounding areas, and I always come back to Wilmington Yoga Center. They have the best variety of classes (by far!), and a beautiful space that is kept super clean. Everyone who works there is SO nice, and really knowledgeable.–Susan M.
One of my favorite places on earth! It's difficult for me to describe how much I love this place and the people who work there. The people are kind and loving, and the teachers are fantastic!–Dave B.
Recently I joined a local gym for a rather inexpensive rate, and one of the reasons I did it was because it offered 3 yoga classes per week. If you care about actually learning yoga at an ideal pace with proper guidance, and developing your practice, don't waste your time taking yoga classes at a gym. Go to Wilmington Yoga Center.–Susan M.
I love the Wilmington Yoga Center! The variety of classes and instructors allows me to fulfill my personal yoga needs on a daily basis; some days I want a hot, slow class with an instructor who has a soothing voice but other days I want a power class with an instructor who motivates me to find my edge. No matter what my body or mind needs, I can always find the class at WYC.–Andi D.

St. Lucie deputy gets 15-day suspension for DUI charge
PORT ST. LUCIE — A St. Lucie County sheriff's deputy received a 15-day suspension after his arrest in June on a DUI-related charge, according to a sheriff's internal affairs investigation.
Cory Speicker, 39 at the time, was arrested by Port St. Lucie police after crashing an unmarked sheriff's vehicle about 2:25 a.m. June 30 into a light pole in the 1500 block of Southeast Airoso Boulevard.
Speicker wasn't on duty at the time, according to the Sheriff's Office.
"It was a stupid decision that I made," Speicker is quoted as saying in a July 25 interview with sheriff's officials. "I'm sorry for embarrassing the Sheriff's Department, my family, myself."
Speicker said he stopped at a pub in the area of Airoso and Port St. Lucie boulevards. He said he didn't remember how much he had to drink.
Speicker, who joined the agency about 13 years ago, declined to take field sobriety tests, and also declined to take a breath test.

Well, Stephen Baldwin's lack of fundraising prowess on Celebrity Apprentice is starting to make sense.
Less than a month after they came thisclose to losing their house, the Baldwin bro and his wife, Kennya, have filed for Chapter 11, the Wall Street Journal's Bankruptcy Beat blog reported Tuesday.
Taxes, two mortgages and the great American equalizer—credit-card debt—are the culprits, according to the petition filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York.
Apparently the Baldwins' Upper Grandview home is worth $1.1 million, but they owe the bank $1.19 million and have outstanding debts of $890,000 to the IRS, $194,527 in unpaid state income tax and more than $70,000 to the credit-card companies.
Their foreclosed-upon home was scheduled to be auctioned off Wednesday, according to the Lower Hudson Journal, which reported earlier this month that Baldwin was granted a 30-day postponement while he explored ways to make good on his defaulted mortgage.
A rep for Baldwin has not yet commented, so it's unclear whether his 1.4-acre residence is still up for grabs, courtesy of the Rockland County Courthouse.
"Stephen is presently going through a legal situation regarding his mortgage and that situation is still in process. No auction will be happening and all things related to this matter are being handled by his legal representation," rep Brad Taylor told People on June 15.
The auction was then scheduled for June 24.
Things are going better for Stephen's brother, Alec, who's included in our 2009 Emmys: Notable Nominees gallery.

State-of-the-art compounding
With 4 pharmacists and our well trained support team we bring many years of combined compounding experience to the formulation of each compound. Over the years we have been able to draw on the best compounding experience around the world to develop an array of very effective bases to deliver different medicines in pharmaceutically elegant formulations. An example would be our ability to compound pluronic lecithin organogel (PLO) a specialised base that allows superior transdermal absorption of many medicines. PLO requires state-of–the-art equipment to generate the micelles within the base that are used to drive the active ingredients through the stratum corneum of the skin into the body.
Quality – the cornerstone of good medicine
In a continuous effort to ensure we provide compounds of the highest quality we have instituted the following quality assurance procedures:
- Only pharmaceutical grade ingredients from approved suppliers are accepted. On receipt these ingredients are tested to ensure correct identification, with high volume compounds undergoing stability testing to ensure they remain stable over their expected shelf life. This also includes testing for any microbial contamination. All hormones are assayed by HPLC against the certificate of analysis. Any ingredient not meeting these strict guidelines is rejected ensuring only the best products are consistently use.
- The Compounding Pharmacy follows good compounding guidelines which include careful supervision and monitoring of the compounding process by pharmacists with every step of the process documented to ensure accuracy.
Bioidentical hormones – the safer alternative
We only use bioidentical hormones in our hormone replacement formulations. Bioidentical hormones have the identical structure to those found naturally in the body. Research supports a superior risk profile when compared to synthetic hormones not naturally found in humans.
The Compounding Pharmacy of South Africa prides themselves in consistently combining their passion and experience to produce compounds which both doctor and patient can trust.

Dust Off April 2014: Operation Military Resources helps in transition to civilian life
PORT ST. LUCIE - Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kimberly Suchek, the author of "Operation Military Resources." I found our conversation not only delightful, but also insightful and thought provoking.
"Operation Military Resources" is a comprehensive compendium of information aimed at educating active military members, veterans, retirees and their families on the resources available to aid them in their lifelong transition from service member to citizen.
In fact, the most salient issue in the book is educating a misguided civilian population who erroneously assume that all service members are part of one homogenous group who somehow ship out, come back and depart the armed forces together.
Suchek, who is a former law enforcement officer, is past president of Operation Home Front in Michigan, Family Assistance Coordinator for the Army National Guard out of Joint Force Headquarters and Grand Ledge Armory. She is also a Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) operator. If you are a servicemember, retiree or dependent, DEERS registration is the key to getting your TRICARE benefits eligibility established. DEERS is a computerized database of military sponsors, families and others worldwide who are entitled under the law to TRICARE benefits.
She holds a degree in Criminal Justice but her most significant qualification for writing this book is her 13-year marriage to a US Army National Guard soldier. She has been on the front line battling military quality-of-life issues and challenges. True to form, she is a trooper who decided "do something to fill the need" for information about the programs and organizations that exist to aid during the transitions and seasons of military life.
I stumbled upon "Operation Military Resources" while doing my own research on the impact of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's announcement in February that the Army must shrink to pre-World War II troop levels to preserve funding for elite counterterrorism operations and maintain the cybersecurity programs needed to counter threats by emerging rivals such as China and Russia.
In my opinion, the plan would basically pave the way for the U.S. to begin a much-needed shift from the ground war footing and manpower-heavy troop buildups that have dominated so much of the nation's attention and military spending since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In short, a restructuring of our forces. We no longer fight tank against tank, and neither do we fix bayonets and charge. Bombing them back to the stone age was not a very effective stategic objective. We are in a low intensity conflict era of operations, and do need to change with the times and threat.
However, for me and other military stakeholders, the devil always lies in the details. Benefits and resources should not be part of the packed. If anything they shuld be expanded. Additionally, most people would be surprised to find out that a substantial number of our current deployed armed forces come from the Reserves and the National Guard. When they redeploy back to the USA, these citizen soldiers and "Weekend Warriors" redeploy back to fort, camp and base neighborhood.
There is no military facility within miles to address their needs. Most Reservist and Guardsman have sacrificed more than life and limb in the service of their country. Most sacrificed financially as well by being paid much less while on active duty than they were compensated on their civilian jobs.
"Operation Military Resources" addresses this and a plethora of other misconceptions and "how to effectively find and get help for all military stakeholders." I highly recommend everyone who is a service member, was a service member or knows a service member get a copy of this book by going to http://www.MilitaryResourceBooks.com.
I must admit I do have a favorite item from the book, which is a poem that I would like to share. Here it is.
"I Got Your Back"
by Autumn Parker
I am a small precious child, my dad's been sent to fight…
The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad, but I am proud.
My daddy's got your back.
I am a caring mother, my son's gone to war…
My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.
Every day I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared, but I am proud.
My son's got your back.
I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go.
There are times I'm terrified, in a way most never know.
I bite my lip, and force a smile, as I watch my husband pack…
My heart may break, but I am proud.
My husband's got your back.
I am a soldier…..
Serving proudly, standing tall.
I fight for freedom, yours and mine, by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home.
It's me who's got your back.

ESD board approves funding for projects that will leverage more than $64 million in investments
NEW YORK – Empire State Development's Board of Directors met in New York City and approved $12.4 million in funding for projects that will create more than 80 new jobs and retain 625 existing jobs throughout the Empire State. This funding will leverage over $64.9 million in additional investments to support business growth and lay the groundwork for future economic growth and job creation.
"This year was not a good one, but a great one for businesses in New York State. The ESD Board today approved a myriad of grants and incentives for projects ranging from manufacturers expanding and creating jobs to improving infrastructure to help area businesses grow and expanding much-needed access to high-speed broadband," said Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Kenneth Adams. "Over the last three years under Governor Cuomo's leadership, ESD has worked with nearly 700 projects, offering more than $1 billion in grants, loans, tax credits and other incentives in return for their commitments to create or retain more than 180,000 jobs. We have seen businesses rebuild and grow thanks to the support given by the administration and are excited about the new projects and new jobs coming to New York in 2014."
The Board approved the following Regional Council award grants:

Can you talk to me about the decision to make this your first book? What inspired the story?
Chelsea Campbell: I wanted to write about a bad guy who had to save people. Or at least that's the idea I started with. The story changed a lot from that initial seed as I was planning it out and figuring out who the characters were, but I think it's still reflected in the story. Damien learns that no one is all good or all bad, and that even if they're labeled as a hero or villain, they're all stuck in between, just like he is.
CC: Being female myself, I like to write boys that girls can like. I mean, some female authors like to write about girls lusting after hot guys. I'd rather just write about the hot guys--who needs a middleman? Ahem. Anyway, I have heard from female readers who really thought they wouldn't like the book and who don't like to read about superheroes who were then glad that they'd tried it out because they loved it. The main character, who narrates the book, has a funny, sarcastic voice, and people like to see what he'll do next. People also tell me they love the female characters in the book, especially Sarah, Damien's quirky genius sidekick, and Kat, his on again off again villain girlfriend. So I guess what I'd really say to girls is read a sample and see if you like it.
(The first chapter is available on my website here: http://www.chelseamcampbell.com/?page_id=126)
Here is a taste:
Golden City isn't your average tourist trap. Sure, it's got its tall buildings, and the one street everyone knows the crazies hang out on—the teens with green hair and lip piercings that tourists think are an attraction somehow. Like they don't have them at home. Traveling to see ordinary stuff like that is the same as going to a restaurant and ordering a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's a waste of time and money, and that's not why people come to Golden City. Tourists aren't here to throw pennies in old fountains or catch a play—they're here in the hopes of spying some idiot in tights soaring past the skyscrapers. They want to visit superhero-themed diners and order Justice Burgers and Liberty Fries, served to them by an unhappy wage slave in a polyester cape. They want to visit the Heroes Walk in Golden City Park and see all the shining white statues of the superhero do-gooders who made the history books.
What are you waiting for!! Go read the rest of it! After you finish this interview of course, Chelsea still has lots of great things to say. Ahem, please continue...
Being a comic book geek, I read into a lot of references to other comic book archetypes in your story. Are you a fan of comics? If so, what are you reading (or did you read)?
CC: I am a fan of comics! But I hadn't read any before I wrote Renegade X. I LOVE most of the superhero movies that have been coming out in the past decade, and I can't get enough of Smallville. I know as a kid I wanted to read comics, but just never had the opportunity, and by the time I was old enough to realize you can get them from the library, getting started felt really overwhelming. A friend read the Renegade X, though, and was shocked to find out I hadn't read any comics, so he sent me home with a stack of graphic novels.
I think some of my favorite comics so far have been Batman--The Long Halloween, Arkham Asylum (the video game of Arkham Asylum was freaking amazing). I love Batman, and I love the villains. I think what makes Batman so great--besides, you know, Batman--is the villains. They have their own interesting storylines, and I would read/watch/play stories just about the Joker. I don't know if I can say that about any other superhero stories.
Can you talk to me about writing from a boy perspective and how you found Damien's voice?
CC: Well, it's been three years since I wrote the book, so it's hard to remember. I think in the beginning I was a bit nervous about getting a boy voice right, but that nervousness has faded over time, since no one has complained about it, lol. I tend to have male main characters in my books, but this was the first time I wrote one in first person. I knew I wanted Damien to be funny, but I'd done a LOT of pre-writing, where I wrote random scenes, experimented with what would happen in the book, with his character, how he interacted with other characters, etc. Stuff that wasn't meant to go in the book and that I could write quickly, just to get a feel for things. So I had all this pre-writing, and there wasn't really a lot of voice to it. And it wasn't funny. And also I wanted him to always be scheming and manipulating people, and that wasn't there either. So then it came time to actually start a real scene in the book, and it's like someone poking you with a stick, going, "Okay, now be funny!" At that point I knew a lot about Damien and what made him tick, but suddenly it was show time and I didn't know if I could pull off everything I wanted to. I decided to have him manipulating people in every scene, whether it was pulling off some big scheme or just something small, like getting someone to do what he wants. I also made him snarky and sarcastic and tried to get in his opinions about everything around him. The book ended up with lots of sex and math jokes, which I think says a lot about it, or maybe about me...
Well, you are visiting the Asylum. If there is anything you would like to talk about... No? Please, go on..
I love to speak with writers about the process of writing the first draft. How does Chelsea get through the first draft? What are your writing rituals?
CC: I like writing at night. My brain comes alive after it gets dark, maybe because I spent so much time in high school staying up too late writing. The only real requirement I have for writing, though, is quiet. I can't really handle distractions. I don't know if I really have a process for getting through a first draft... for some books, I write rambling notes to myself that sometimes end up being as long as the book does, just hashing out what the book might be about and how the story goes and what choices to make when. And some books I just say, "This is what happens here, here, and here," and then I write the book. For Renegade X, I got an idea and just sat down and started writing. It was kind of like the rambling notes to myself, except it was through the main character's perspective, kind of like journal entries, just talking about the people he knew and what his world was like. And it morphed all over the place and I had about 35,000 words of that (about half the size of the actual book) before I started writing any real scenes.
What is the most painful aspect of writing for you?
CC: The middle. *shudder* I hate middles. Beginnings can be troublesome and hard to get into, but they can also be fun. Endings can be tough because you've spent all this time building up to it and you want it to be just right, but, again, it can be fun, and when it's done you have the satisfaction of finishing. But with middles, what do you get? It's not new, it's not the end... and you've got to take everything you started in the beginning and connect it with the stuff you hope to do in the end. I feel like it's lots of pressure mixed with confusion, and no reward. Except, you know, the writing itself...
Right! I'm in the middle of a middle myself. Sometimes it makes you feel like Hoffman in Marathon Man.
CC: Fake conflict. Fake conflict is when the characters are worried about something, but you never feel like that something could actually happen, or when there is supposedly some kind of conflict going on, but it never affects anybody. Nothing actually bad ever happens, and the characters are always saying what horrible danger they're in, but after a while you get wise to it and you don't believe them. This can happen with large scale danger, like, "Oh no, I hope we don't get hit by that really fast train that's ten miles away!" or some smaller conflict, like the character's mom is the world's best rocket scientist and loves the main character to death, but consequently only has time to call them five times a day and can only hang out with them during their Saturday night ritual of eating chocolate and watching sappy movies for ten hours. *SNORE* It's fake conflict because even though they say there's a problem, there isn't really, and there aren't any real consequences. In that scenario, it's like, "Oh, no, your mom is really really successful and can afford to feed you and give you a nice place to live and loves you a lot and still spends more quality time with you than most parents, but maybe you have to, *gasp*, make your own dinners." It's something that doesn't actually cause a problem between the characters and in fact can be seen as an asset for the MC.
How did you prepare for the launch of the book?
CC: I have a website where I blog, though it's funny because before I was published, I blogged ALL THE TIME. And now that you'd think I'd have anything interesting to say... I clam up. I'm also fairly active on twitter (http://twitter.com/kaerfel), and that's hurt my blogging, too, because I'd rather just tweet something. I also did a book giveaway on Goodreads, had bookmarks made to give to people, and had a launch party in real life.
What superhero/villain would you NOT want to be and WHY?
CC: As much as I love him, I wouldn't want to be the Joker. He has too much turmoil. He'll never be really happy, and he can't/doesn't trust anyone. He does things that are really awful, and I don't think he'll ever really love Harley, no matter how hard I ship them.
Chelsea, Thank You so much for stopping by. I really enjoyed RENEGADE X and I hope it is a great success for you and may your writing continue to soar into the atmosphere.

Getting to the front of Newsvine's Technology Page
Newsvine puts me on top of their technology page within hours of my article release on the newsvine algorithm.
Well utilizing SMO to leverage traffic is a huge advantage to any campaign and knowing HOW to do this is key. I recently created a post on the possible ranking factors on newsvine.com. I examined what could possibly make a article or seed appear on the home page or sub home page for a given tag. Well I just wanted to say "I did IT!!!".
See the image below showing where I showed up on newsvine.
So what did it take? Let me tell you the state of my profile before making it to the first page.
1) I had about 10 friends
2) I had about 2 articles submitted with 1-3 votes each and NO comments on them
3) I was a member for less then a month and a half
4) 1 person had added me to their watch list
5) Never made a story popular before
What was special about this article that got me on the home page of technology?
1) One of the most popular and well respected people on newsvine made the first comment and that created my first popular comment.
2) In a short period of time I was over 10 votes.
3) I had a large number of comments. About 10 which is pretty decent for newsvine.
4) The article was interesting and inspired controversy.
Any SMO can take this idea and apply it to other social media sites but its all about determining possible ranking factors for each social media site and doing testing, testing and doing more testing.
Somthing I would like to add is the power of seeds Vs. Articles on newsvine. Doing self promotion is against their code of honor but they do provide an area where you can upload full articles of your content. The difference between both is a seed is more like a "digg" and an article is going to be more like uploading content to article distribution sites BUT with more targeted traffic which could bleed over to other forms of traffic redirection.
My name is Joe Whyte and I have been doing SEO/SEM for over 5 years now. I have worked with fortune 1000 companies helping them to market their products online, improve search engine rankings, increase conversions and draw viable, targeted traffic to my clients sites.

Growing up in Vancouver in the 1990s, I was a mere three generations away from my great grandparents who immigrated to Canada to farm the land, but I ate more McDonald's than fresh foods (if you must know, Chicken McNuggets were my poison). For the past 6 years, I've taken an active role in learning where my food comes from – doing my best to buy local and from a farmer I know and trust. The Farmers' Markets have become my go-to grocery shop, Michael Pollan my hero and building my local food system my mission. When I moved to Los Angeles from New York City, I decided it was time to take my efforts further and try my hand at growing my own food. After all, with a big backyard and eternal sunshine, I had no excuse.
After two years of trial and error, a lot of dead plants and heaps of compost, I am now what you might call a successful rookie renting gardener. A renting gardener means growing everything in containers and beds (no in-the-ground gardening!). Don't let anyone tell you that you can't grow lots of delicious veggies in containers – in fact, lots of foods thrive in containers. Gardening in containers allow you to indulge in gardening without digging in the ground, and then even take it with you if you leave! Container gardens make it easy to control for pests, avoid contaminated soil and control the conditions of your garden.
But before we get in to the how-tos, I thought I should break down some of the benefits I've derived from gardening so far. You know, to get you motivated. Here are six reasons why you should grow a garden this fall.
1. You'll feel like you're 10 again
Remember science experiments? Gardening feels a little bit like that. You can get your hands dirty, try different seeds and varietie and over time, you are sure to get the hang of it and learn what works. And if dirty hands aren't your thing, gardening gloves can take care of that!
2. Remember patience?
I get anxious when my Instagram feed won't load for 20 seconds. Seriously. But gardening has forced me to practice being patient. When you grow food from seed, there are so many stages – you must wait patiently for the seeds to sprout, harden (meaning they are ready to go outside), grow and produce. Gardening has taught me that patience is truly a virtue, and can pay off big time.
3. Share your bounty
There is nothing quite like the flavor of home-grown tomatoes, and your friends will be crazy impressed when you have them over for dinner. And if you grow too much to eat yourselves, there are other ways to share the bounty. Fill up a box for your neighbour. Almost every city has a local pantry which is likely serving mostly canned, over-processed, unhealthy foods. Find out if your local pantry will accept your fresh veggies to distribute to those who can't afford to buy fresh foods themselves.
4. Gardening is like a healthy gateway drug to other healthy habits
Gardening has led me to try my hand at composting, scratch cooking, working with new recipes and preserving! Growing foods that you might not usually incorporate into your meals can get you out of a boring cooking rut, and might be the inspiration you need to switch up the meals you make at home.
5. You can take control of your health, and keep harmful chemicals off your plate
When you grow your own food, you are allowing yourself to take control of what ends up on your plate. Today, over 80% of foods are genetically modified (and they don't have to be labeled), smothered in pesticides (most harmful pesticides were approved before they were linked to cancer and other diseases) and grown using methods that are harmful to the earth. By growing your own food, you will know exactly what was used to grow them.
6. Small gardens have the power to build our local food system
If every one sourced just one meal from their personal garden, we'd see a dramatic change in how we think about food, how much we pay for it, and how we source it. Small gardens have the power to change how the food system in this country.

Warrington Wolves U19s 48 - Wakefield Wildcats U19s 12
By Dave Whalley (image courtesy of Bob Brough)
Wolves U19s secure top spot. Pictured lifting their League Leaders' Shield, kindly donated by club partners Touchline
Warrington Wolves ensured that they finish as league leaders with a commanding performance against a very spirited Wakefield Trinity Wildcats side in the Academy Under 19s at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Thursday evening.
The Wolves knew that they only required one point from either of their last two league games to be mathematically certain of finishing in first place but there was never any doubt of it hanging in the balance until next week as they claimed a comprehensive victory in front of their own fans.
Warrington took the lead in the fifth minute when great hands saw the ball find full-back Declan Kay linking into the line and he passed to winger Jack Johnson who stepped round the cover to score in the left corner. Four minutes later a carbon copy of the first try, but this time on the opposite side, as superb hands saw Kay once again joining the line and he sent winger Jake Eccleston away and his lovely inside ball put centre Harvey Livett over wide out on the right.
Almost straight from the restart a brilliant move down the left started by hooker Sean Kenny saw him find centre Toby King and he sent Johnson racing away; his inside ball put the supporting Kenny over wide on the left. Stand-off Declan Patton converted but then Wakefield enjoyed a spell of pressure and that was rewarded when a break down the left by winger Tom Johnstone saw him race forty metres before kicking ahead for stand off Max Jowitt to win the race to collect and score under the posts to give himself a simple conversion.
Just after the half-hour mark quick hands once again by the Wolves stretched the Wildcats' defence and Kay and Toby King combined to find Johnson who stepped back inside to score on the left. Patton converted and then right on the stroke of half time King intercepted a Wakefield pass and raced thirty five metres to score at the side of the posts. Patton's conversion made the half time score 26-6 to the Wolves.
Five minutes into the second half Wakefield scored their second try of the evening when excellent work by second row Nathan Stone put full-back Scott Lee through a gap and he raced clear before passing back to Stone who went over on the right. Jowitt converted but then twenty minutes later the Wolves were back in control; Patton forced a goal line drop out and after a couple of fine drives he and Toby King combined down the left to put Johnson over in the left corner to complete a fine hat trick. Patton converted from the touchline.
The Wolves were now at their rampant best and when a Patton grubber kick was fumbled by the Wildcats it gave them a scrum in a great position and after setting themselves up with some smart running the ball reached Patton who side-stepped his way through to score at the left of the posts. Patton converted himself and then almost immediately a clever cross-field kick by Patton was collected brilliantly by Johnson who broke clear down the left before kicking ahead for Kay to collect. A quick play the ball saw Patton fire out a long pass to Eccleston who brushed off three defenders to score wide out on the right.
Three minutes from time, superb play by Patton saw him shape up to kick out wide but instead he chipped over the defence and regathered to score at the side of the posts. He added the conversion to round off a very pleasing 48-12 victory.
After the game Wolves' Under 19s head coaches Danny Fullerton and Lee Briers were both full of praise for their side. They said: "It is a great achievement to finish in first place at the end of the regular league season and every single player in the squad can be rightly proud of their contribution. As well as the players on the field, the support staff have also played a pivotal role in the success to date; the coaches, management, strength and conditioners, medical staff and the performance analysts have all been absolutely first class. It is like a well-oiled machine; a real team effort. (Tonight) we started really well and took control of the game straight away to build up a healthy lead and although Wakefield had spells where they were on top territorially our defence stood firm on the whole and that enabled us to go in 26-6 ahead at the break. The start of the second half was a real arm wrestle with both sides' defences on top but then in the closing fifteen minutes we really stepped on the gas to run out comfortable winners. We will certainly not be resting on our laurels now; we have a big game at St Helens next Thursday which is the last of the regular rounds of matches and we want to go into the play-off games full of confidence. We will be working harder as hard as ever to make sure that we are ready for the massive games ahead."

Traknet™ TN-4011
Fleet Trak™ Automatic GPS Tracking System for Fleet and Business Management
The Traknet™ TN-4011 fleet tracker is our automatic tracking system designed to automatically track the vehicle whether the user is actually locating the vehcile or not. The system will automatically send out a location every 3-5 minutes depeding on user preference and the web-interface allows the user to view multiple systems on one screen making it perfect for fleet and business management.
- - Additional parts & labor may be required
- When managing a fleet of vehicles, knowing the real-time location of all drivers allows management to meet customer needs more efficiently. Whether it is delivery, service or other multi-vehicle enterprises. The TN-4011 Fleet Trak™ GPS tracking system allows the user(s) to track there vehicle from a computer and manage all of their vehicle on the same screen. The system is an automatic tracking system used for frequent tracking. This means that the system automatically send a location every three to five minutes whether the user is logged into the system or not. The user can log into the system and see a clear history of where the vehicle(s) have traveled. The system itself is a small self-contained module with a external GPS/Cellular antenna. Both the unit and the antenna can be mounted under the dash board.
- Fleet Trak automatically sends out a location hit every three to five minutes allowing the user to see where the vehicle has traveled no matter if the ignition is on or off. If there is a Fleet Trak system installed in more that one vehicle, the user can track all vehicle on the same screen at once when logged into the website. Once the system is installed in vehicle(s), the service can then be activated. There is a small activation fee per each unit and a monthly cost for the service. The cost of the service can vary depending on how many Fleet Trak systems are up and running. The system provides unlimited tracking so there is no limit on messages to locate the vehicle. The monthly service charge will begin the day the service is actiaved.
- The web application allows the user to track multiple vehicles at one time as long as each vehicle has a TN-4011 system installed. All vehicles can be viewed on a two-dimensional map or a three-dimensional Google map with birds eye view to give the user a better geographical view of the area. The system will report location, speed, heading, stop and idle times on all of the vehicles. A printable history report of all vehicles can be viewed and the system will keep a history of up to ninety days. All history reports can be downloaded and printed in PDF or Excel format. A real-time bread crumb trail is also provided so that the user can see where the vehicle has traveled and which roads it took. One of the other key GPS functions of the TN-4011 system is the Geofence. Just like the consumer tracking sytem, the TN-4011 Fleet Trak system can also have a Geofence perimeter set by the user so that they can receive alerts when the system crosses in or out of the set Geofence. The alerts can be sent to the user via SMS text message or email. Last but not least, all TN-4011 systems include a PTO (Power Take-Off) input to monitor the use of heavy equipment on the vehicle such as a tow-truck lift or snow plow. This allows the user to truly keep an eye on what the workers are doing when they are in the field.Monitoring PTO events with your TN-4011 system can help you: Improve driver accountability, optimize maintenance schedules and prevent improper vehicle use.
- It's not easy running a small business – especially when you need to track a fleet of vehicles. Without knowing each vehicle's location, it's tough to choose the best routes. This leads to lost time, high fuel costs, excessive mileage, and damaging wear and tear. At this point, fleet tracking becomes a valuable tool in running your fleet. With our easy-to-use web-based fleet tracking application, you can simply and affordably improve the way you manage your commercial vehicles. How?

- Installation of the system is very simple, especially if you are only looking for basic tracking features on the vehicle. If tracking is all you want, then it is a simple power, ground and ignition hook-up. If you want the other optional features such as the PTO input, then this wiring will all have to be done by the installer and will take a little more time. These features are purely optional however and do not need to be hooked up in order of the basic tracking features to work.

Retrofitting Design of Building Structures
Retrofitting of building structures, including maintenance, rehabilitation, and strengthening, is not only an important issue in urban construction and management, but also a frequent problem to structural engineers in property management disciplines. Based on the contributors' hands-on experience, Retrofitting Design of Building Structures covers structural retrofitting practices, the basic principles of structural analysis and design, and various innovatively-used structural codes for the design, assessment, and retrofitting of building structures using newly-developed technologies worldwide.
Beginning with the procedure of structural retrofitting, this book gradually introduces the significance of structural retrofitting; the inspection methods for structural materials, structural deformation, and damages; retrofitting design methods and construction requirements of various structural systems; and practical examples of structural retrofitting design and construction. In the introduction of various examples, it emphasizes not only conceptual design, but also constructional procedure design, so that a structural retrofitting design work should be completed by both structural analysis and detailed constructional measures. The book provides a complete resource for experienced professionals as well as teachers and students.less

Around September 18, 1786, Jefferson dislocated his right wrist in a fall. The date is not certain, although there is an entry in his Memorandum Books for two surgeons on the 18th. According to contemporary reports, the injury occurred when he attempted to jump a fence in the Cours-la-Reine in Paris, France. Two surgeons set his bones, but not well, and he suffered wrist pain for the rest of his life. The accident forced him to stay in his house for a month and his secretary, William Short, had to write his letters for him. For a few months, he used his left hand to write letters including the infamous "Head and Heart" letter on October 12 to Maria Cosway. The dislocation also cut short sightseeing with Maria Cosway and postponed his journey to the south of France.

1786 December 16. (Jefferson to James Madison). "After a very long silence, I am at length able to write to you. An unlucky dislocation of my right wrist has disabled me from using my pen for three months. I now begin to use it a little, but with great pain; so that this letter must be taken up at such intervals as the state of my hand will permit, and will probably be the work of some days. Tho' the joint seems to be well set, the swelling does not abate, nor the use of it return. I am therefore on the point of setting out for the South of France to try the use of some mineral waters there, by immersion. This journey will be of 2. or 3. months."[20]
1786 December 17. (William Carmichael to Jefferson). "An Article I saw in the Gazette of Paris some time ago, gives me some uneasiness for your health."[21]
1786 December 17. (Jefferson to Charles Thomson). "A dislocation of my right wrist has for three months past disabled me from writing except with my left hand, which was too slow and awkward to be employed but in cases of necessity. I begin to have so much use of my wrist as to be able it write, but it is slowly and in pain."[22]
1786 December 18. (Jefferson to James Monroe). "My last to you was of the 11th. of August. Soon after that date I got my right wrist dislocated, which has till now deprived me of the use of my pen: and even now I can use it but slowly and with pain."[23]
1786 December 20. (Jefferson to William Stephens Smith). "'Not having any letters on my file unanswered, I shall not trouble you further.' --Is this you? --Did you count to 10. distinctly between the origin of that thought, and the committing it to paper? How could you, my dear Sir, add reproach to misfortune with a poor cripple who but now begins to use his pen a little, and that with so much pain that it is real martyrdom?...My wrist forbids my adding more than assurances of the sincere esteem with which I am Dr. Sir your friend and servant."[24]
1786 December 21. (Jefferson to Abigail Adams). "AN unfortunate dislocation of my right wrist has for three months deprived me of the honor of writing to you. I begin now to use my pen a little, but it is in great pain, and I have no other use of my hand. The swelling has remained obstinately the same for two months past, and the joint, tho I believe well set, does not become more flexible. I am strongly advised to go to some mineral waters at Aix in Provence, and I have it in contemplation."[25]

1786 December 23. (Jefferson to Francis Hopkinson). "A dislocation of my right wrist, which happened to me about a month after the date of my last letter to you has disabled me from writing 3. months. I do it now in pain and only in cases of necessity or of strong inclination having as yet no other use of my hand."[27]
1786 December 24. (Jefferson to James Maury). "Your favor of the 17th. of Sep. came to hand a few days after a dislocation of my right wrist had disabled me from writing. I only now begin to write a little, and that with pain."[28]
1786 December 25. (Jefferson to C.W.F. Dumas). "A dislocation of my right wrist has for upwards of three months prevented me the honour of writing to you. I begin to use it a little for the pen, but it is with great pain."[29]
1786 December 26. (Jefferson to William Carmichael). "A note from me of the 22d. of Sep. apprised you it would be some time before I shall be able to answer your letters. I did not then expect it would have been so long. A dislocation of my right wrist three or four days before that has disabled me from writing till lately, and I know write in great pain and only in cases of necessity."[30]
1786 December 27. (Jefferson to Thomas Barclay). "For American news I must refer you to Mr. Carmichael, a dislocation of my right wrist making it still painful to me to write. It recovers so slowly that I am much disposed to take the advice of my Surgeon and try some mineral waters in Provence."[31]
1787 January 9. (Jefferson to John Jay). "This delay may be well enough ascribed (whenever I shall have received new powers) to a journey I had before apprised the minister that I should be obliged to take some mineral waters in the South of France, to see if by their aid I may recover the use of my right hand, of which a dislocation about 4. months ago threatens to deprive me in a great measure."[32]
1787 January 29. (Abigail Adams to Jefferson). "I received by Col. Franks your obliging favour and am very sorry to find your wrist still continues lame; I have known very salutary effects produced by the use of British oil upon a sprained joint. I have sent a servant to see if I can procure some. You may rest assured that if it does no good: it will not do any injury."[33]
1787 January 30. (Jefferson to James Madison). "In a former letter I mentioned to you the dislocation of my wrist. I can make not the least use of it, except for the single artifice of writing, tho' it is going on five months since the accident happened. I have great anxieties lest I should never recover any considerable use of it. I shall, by the advice of my Surgeons, set out in a fortnight for the waters of Aix in Provence."[34]
1787 February 18. (Jefferson to Thomas Barclay). "I was unlucky enough to dislocate my right wrist five months ago, and tho' it was well set, I can yet make no use of it but to write. I am advised to try mineral waters, and those of Aix in Provence being as much recommended as any others, I am induced to go to them..."[35]
1787 February 18. (Jefferson to William Carmichael). "I was unlucky enough five months ago to dislocate my right wrist, and tho' well set, I have as yet no use of it expect that I can write, but in pain. I am advised to try the use of the mineral waters..."[36]
1787 April 4. (William Short to Jefferson). "I hope you will let me know in your next whether the one [waters] or the other [sunshine] has shewn any influence on your wrist."[37]
1787 April 7. (Jefferson to William Short). "Having taken 40. douches, without any sensible benefit, I thought it useless to continue them. My wrist strengthens slowly: it is to time I look as the surest remedy, and that I believe will restore it at length."[38]
1787 April 14. (Francis Hopkinson to Jefferson). "I am sorry for the Misfortune of your Wrist. I hope it is recovered before this. The next Time you perform this Maneuver I would recommend your left Wrist for the Experiment. You will find it much more convenient than the Right and it can be every bit as well strain'd."[39]
1787 April 23. (James Madison to Jefferson). "The accident to your wrist was first made known to me by these communications. I learnt with satisfaction from Col. Franks that the pain and weakness was apparently going off, and ardently with that your projected trip to the South of France may produce a radical cure."[40]
1787 April 28. (Charles Thomson to Jefferson). "I have received your favour of the 17 Decr. last and am very sorry to hear of your misfortune. I hope before this time you have perfectly recovered the use of your wrist."[41]
1787 May 2. (James Currie to Jefferson). "I was sorry to understand by the Governor E.R. Esqr. you had received an Injury in one of your arms or hands. I hope it is well before you read this letter."[42]
1787 May 5. (Jefferson to William Short). "You enquire kindly of the effect of the waters on my wrist. None at all. But time is doing slowly what they cannot do. It strengthens a little."[43]
1787 June 5. (C.W.F. Dumas to Jefferson). "Short's last letter causes him to hope that TJ has returned to Paris in good health and particularly that he has recovered 'la libre usage d'une main si bien faisante et si utile a la patrie et a l'humanite."[44]
1787 June 6. (Eliza House Trist to Jefferson). "The pain with which you wrote renders indeed the proof of your condecending goodness the more flattering to me; but I could not wish for it untill you recover strength eno' to perform those offices with inconvenience."[45]
1787 July 1. (Jefferson to [John Adams]). "I returned about three weeks ago from a very useless voiage. Useless, I mean, as to the object which first suggested it, that of trying the effects of the mineral waters of Aix en Provence on my hand. I tired these because recommended among six or eight others as equally beneficial, and because they would place me at the beginning of a tour to the seaports..."[46]
1787 July 6. (Jefferson to Miguel de Lardizabel y Uribe). "I have had a journey of between three and four months through the Southern parts of France and Northern Italy. It has been very agreeable but the effects of the waters of Aix were not sensible on my wrist which reestablishes itself slowly."[47]
1787 July 27. (James Monroe to Jefferson). "You mentioned in your last the injury you had sustained in your wrist. How did it happen? I hope you found your trip to the south of advantage."[48]
1787 July 28. (Jefferson to Henry Skipwith). "A long journey has prevented me from writing to any of my friends for some time past. This was undertaken with a view to benefit a dislocated and ill-set wrist by the mineral waters of Aix in Provence."[49]
1787 August 12. (Jefferson to George Gilmore). "The accident of a dislocated wrist, badly set, has I fear deprived me for ever of almost every use of my right hand. Nor is the extent of the evil as yet known, the hand withering, the fingers remaining swelled and crooked, and losing rather than gaining in point of suppleness. It is now eleven months since the accident. I am able however to write, tho for a long time I was not so."[50]
1787 December 23. (George Gilmore to Jefferson). "It afforded me pleasure to hear from Mr. Wythe while in Richmond that he supposed you had got over the inconvenience of your luxation. If not let me advise you to abandon cataplasms, poultices and Goulards extract, and rely on a flesh brush, Electricy, and friction with powdered bark, what presumption you'l say, when you have had the skill of the ablest Parisians. I sincerely hope the complaint is removed."[51]
1788 December 16. (Jefferson to George Gilmore). "I thank you for your kind enquiries about my wrist. I followed advice with it till I saw visibly that the joint had never been replaced, and that it was absurd to expect that cataplasms and waters would reduce dislocated bones. From that moment I have done nothing. I have forever lost the use of my hand, except that I can write, and a withered hand and swelled and crooked fingers still remain 27. months after the accident make me fear I do not yet know the worst of it. But this too we will talk over at Monticello, and endeavor that it be the only pain to which our attention may be recalled."[52]
c1810. (Philip Mazzei). "To avert a fall in the Champs Elysees, he dislocated his right wrist and was no longer able to use his right hand."[53]
Before 1836. (Martha Jefferson Randolph). "At one o'clock he always rode or walked. He frequently walked as far as seven miles in the country. Returning from one of those rambles, he was joined by some friend, and being earnestly engaged in conversation he fell and fractured his wrist. He said nothing at the moment, but holding his suffering limb with the other hand, he continued the conversation till he arrived near to his own house, when, informing his companion of the accident, he left him to send for the surgeon. The fracture was a compound one, and probably much swollen before the arrival of the surgeon; it was not set, and remained ever after weak and stiff. While disabled by the accident, he was in the habit of writing with his left hand, in which he soon became tolerably expert, the writing being well formed, but stiff."[54]

Nick Thomas: Scrap proposed referendum on selling Vero Beach electric to FPL; have a referendum on which referendum question to ask
Other referendum questions for Vero Beach residents
Vero Beach City Council agrees that the city should hold a referendum on whether to sell Vero electric to Florida Power & Light. The real question is what referendum question should have been put to the electorate.
Here were eight suggestions, arranged from those intended to encourage a "sell" vote to those seeking a "no-sale" vote.
1. Given the inability of government to provide any service in a cost-effective, non-wasteful manner, do you agree to sell Vero electric to FPL, a free-market enterprise of the kind that has made America great?
2. Given FPL's low, low rates and award-winning customer service, and given that there will be no negative consequences of any kind to the city of Vero Beach, do you agree to sell Vero electric to FPL?
3. Given that 60 percent of Vero electric's customers live outside of the city limits, and given that any rise in city taxes or cuts in city services will not have any direct effect on those Indian River County residents, do you agree to sell Vero electric to FPL for the good of those county residents?
4. Given that city property taxes will likely double and/or city services will be substantially cut as a result of the sale of Vero electric to FPL, and given that there is no guarantee that FPL will be able to deliver lower electric rates over the long term, do you agree to sell Vero electric to FPL?
5. Given your experience dealing with AT&T, Comcast, Direct TV and banks, such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo, do you trust FPL to look out for your best interests and provide its services to you at the lowest possible cost and with excellent, responsive customer service?
6. Do you agree that Vero electric, a city asset worth approximately $175 million, should be sold to FPL for a net payment to Vero Beach of approximately $7 million?
7. Do you agree that Vero Beach property taxes should be doubled and/or city services should be substantially cut as a way to deal with the loss in income to the city due to the sale of Vero electric to FPL?
8. Given that once Vero electric is sold it will be gone forever, do you agree that the city should fully examine all of its options before selling its largest asset, Vero electric, to FPL?
Perhaps a referendum on which referendum question to pose would still be appropriate.

Annual monsoon rains, crucial to India's economy, covered the country on July 11 but remained 23 percent below average, sparking fears of their impact on two cereal-producing states. The pounding rains that sweep across the continent from June to September are dubbed the 'economic lifeline' of India, which is one of the world's leading producers of rice, sugar, wheat and cotton.

Hurricane Heat
The big problem with much of the discussions about trends in hurricane activity is that the databases that everyone is working from are known to have significant inhomogeneities due to changes in observing practice and technology over the years. So it's not surprising that a new re-analysis (Kossin et al, published yesterday) has been generating significant interest and controversy among the hurricane research community (see e.g. Prometheus or Chris Mooney). However, rather than this study being taken for what it is – a preliminary and useful attempt to make homogeneous a part of the data (1983 to 2005) – it is unfortunately being treated as if it was the definitive last word. We've often made the point that single papers are not generally the breakthroughs that are sometimes implied in press releases or commentary sites and this case is a good example of that.
Kossin et al develop an algorithm based on North Atlantic data that can be theoretically used with the coarsest data available from the earlier parts of the record and in more remote regions. While the technique works well in the North Atlantic (picking up almost all of the storms seen in the standard data), it doesn't work as well in other basins – possibly because the characteristics of tropical cyclones are not universal, or because the coarse early remote sensing data are still not sufficient. The poorer performance in the other basins is surely a reason to anticipate that further work will be necessary to refine these estimates, and should serve as a caution to those wanting definitive conclusions.
How does this fit in with some of the previous work? Well, it confirms the large trend in the North Atlantic (seen in Emanuel, 2005), but doesn't show significant trends in the other basins (from 1983). This isn't directly comparable with Webster et al (2005) though, since their trends start in the 1970s, and the shortness of the new reanalysis (only 23 years) emphasizes interannual and decadal variability associated with e.g. El Nino. The Kossin et al study is therefore unlikely to shed much light on the potential global warming/hurricane intensity link.
In summary, read the papers and the comments but don't believe the hype.
We'll start off the discussion with a few comments we have already received on the provocative study:
Based upon the new results of Kossin et al. (GRL, 2007), it looks like the IPCC SPM just barely covered itself in its proclamations on observed hurricanes:

Heading to Whitney in a week. We are starting at Cottonwood and exiting Whitney Portal. I plan to take the following as far as clothing:Icebreaker TPatagonia Cap 2 top/bottomExOfficio air lite shirtMontbell Ex Light jacketArc'teryx Theta SL or Marmot Precip Shell (still deciding)Merino Wool beanieZ-Pack rain kiltExOfficio boxer/briefsArc'teryc pants (lightweight not sure of model)Smartwool PhD socksMerrell Moab bootsMy biggest concern is the last night camping in the Guitar Lake area, as it may be quite chilly. I am replacing my fleece with the MonBell down jacket, and I use a Montbell down 30F bag. I prefer to sleep on the cold side, so I am figuring this is enough stuff.What say you?

I've hiked Whitney three times -- all in August. During the day, it ranges from cool in the morning to warm in the mid afternoon. At night, count on low to mid 30's -- not that cold really.I think you're bringing too many pieces. All you need are:Tops1 base layer - either Icebreaker T or Exofficio air shirt - no need for both1 insulation layer - MB Ex Light jacket1 shell layer - Arcyteryx or MarmotBottoms1 Exofficio briefs1 Arcteryx hiking pants1 pair smartwool socks1 pair Merrell Moab bootsI assume the Patagonia Cap 2 top/bottom are for sleep wear? That's fine. I would also add a pair of liner socks as well -- for added comfort and to help keep your bag cleaner.I suggest bringing a pair of gloves - light ones will do.Finally, I would leave the Merino Wool beanie and Z-Pack rain kilt at home. I find the hoodie of my shell jacket good enough. And it rarely rains in late August -- to me anyway, the top shell will suffice.Have a fun hike!
The Capaline was to bring as a layer in case it got really cold. I generally just sleep in my clothes.
You are welcome, Dave.I view myself a bit on the wimpy side when it comes to cold -- although not the wimpiest. For me, I would leave the capilene top/bottom at home as well. Thinking about it, your MB 30F should be fine if evening lows are at expected level. And then, your base layer, your MontBell down jacket, and your shell jacket should offer plenty of insurance. YMMV, of course.BTW, I will be hoofing it up there with Brian Green (fellow BPL forum poster) as well -- but taking the Portal route up to Trail Camp and summit: 8/27 - Portal - car camping to get aclimated 8/28 - Trail Camp (12k) 8/29 - summit and back down to Trail Camp 8/30 - back to PortalMaybe we will bump into each other?
You will miss me by a few days. We are exiting via Whitney Portal on the 24th.
Shucks. Anyway, fun and safe trip to us all.
