Lee had a light walking axe that didn't work but good crampons...
We left the rope and rack...
"I know of an easy, unclimbed six thousand meter peak that I might try up Chapursan way" mentioned Peter. To date the unclimbed peaks above 6000m that we had tried to climb during our long summer in Pakistan had proved to be either very hard or very dangerous – or both! Twice we had summited a virgin peak only find the altimeter reading less than 6000m.
Much of the summer had been spent climbing soft snow, sugary ice and poor rock. I was tired of crap climbing conditions. The walk-ins had been long and many-a-day had been spent crossing glaciers and climbing endless scree. One peak had involved a day and a half walk from base camp just to start the climb! I looked forward to being able to take a cable car from Chamonix up to the Aiguille du Midi station and be on a route next morning without too much effort. I liked the sound of the peak Peter had in mind… short walk-in… over 6000m… easy… unclimbed… exactly what I was looking for to round off the summer!
My flight home was in two weeks. The original plan to finish off the summer had been to climb Punji Peak, an easy 5800m mountain in the Hindu Raj. The trip would be a good reconnaissance as I had still not visited the Hindu Raj in four trips to Pakistan and the area's remoteness attracted me. My peak plans were limited however by the fact that I knew little about the Hindu Raj and it would be another minor peak under 6000m on the climbing CV. Peter's plan seemed better thought through, Peter having first seen the peak in 1999. We were due to head our separate ways that day for the last couple of weeks of our trip but I decided to stick around and join Peter to try the aforementioned peak in Chapursan.
"If I remember the photo I took it is a straight forward slope to the summit. We can probably go light, leave the rack and rope behind and climb with one axe." I envisioned a long gentle snow slope to the summit and decided to take my walking axe and leave the technical axes. Peter, also keen to keep weight down packed his lightweight alloy crampons in favour of his Grivel G12s. This climb was going to be easy I thought to myself. An epic was out of the question. We did our food shopping that afternoon and left for Chapursan the following morning.
The area of Chapursan is located in the far north of Pakistan's Karakoram, close to the Afghan border. It is on the south side of Afghanistan's Wakhan corridor from where the Tajik Pamir rises to the north side. While the area is technically the Karakoram the transition to Pamir is evident as the densely packed aggressively angled peaks giving way to rolling mountains and broad grazing pastures.
It had been a two day 1500m climb to base camp from the village of Raminj along a beautiful, narrow canyon that opened up in to a broad valley as we approached our peak. Soon after leaving Raminj I some how I managed to sink my left foot in a water channel to the right of me then fall on my right rib! I untwisted myself and picked the grit from my cuts cursing my lack of attention to the path. Weather had been dire during the walk-in just as it had been for weeks but looked to have improved just at the right time. Our peak looked impressive from base camp and we reckoned it was the highest in the valley. Next day we moved further up the valley beneath the mountain in preparation for an ascent next morning…
We rose at 1am and started climbing at 2. Our starting point was a significant distance east of the summit and the first half of the climb involved a combination of ascending and traversing to a col at around 5300m. We had chosen to bivi further east because to get right under the mountain would have taken another hour's walking and we would have descended one hundred meters in the process. A traverse line looked just as easy.
From the bivi sight we avoided an immediate steep section of ice by skirting to the left of it before straightening up. I initially broke the route. My torch light was weak but I had studied the route the previous evening. I knew I had to initially climb in a straight line, passing between a couple of gigantic crevasses, then start traversing towards the col. We climbed quickly. For the first time this summer there had been a proper freeze in the night prior to ascent and the snow under foot was solid. Having started the traverse I momentarily had to straighten up again to skirt round another large crevasse that dropped down the mountain. Once past this I continued the traverse west.
Towards the col we had to traverse above a couple of crevasses. On the second occasion it would have been easier to have stayed below the crevasse. Peter led the latter half of the traverse. Despite the excellent snow conditions he was struggling to get his alloy crampons to bite in to the ice. I was also having minor difficulties getting the pick of my walking axe to stick in the hard ice. The good snow however meant that we were able to kick in a good ledge so never really felt vulnerable. It was the first sign of having bought the wrong equipment though. By the time the sun had risen we were on the col with everything going to plan.
Early morning views were stunning. To the south was the Batura Muztagh that contains seven prominent peaks above 7000m. To the north-east rose the Pamir across the border in Tajikistan. It was strange to think how close we were to Badakhshan. Away east were a couple of prominent peaks in the distance. "Is that K2 and Broad Peak over there?" asked Peter. "Can't be, they're the wrong way around", I replied. "Maybe it's Sonia Peak and Chafchingol Sar". The route to the summit looked easier than we had anticipated. We had expected to have to take a direct line up to the ridge from the col but further south across a small plateau the ridge could be gained with a gentle climb almost all the way to the top. We thanked our good fortune. The weather was behaving itself again today and we saw little to stop us bagging the peak. The only question that remained in our minds was whether it would be above or below 6000m. It looked as though it was going to be a close call…
I took the lead for the most remaining climb. After the exhausting walk-in I was feeling revitalised and glad to be above the snowline again in the high altitude coolness. We climbed the north-east ridge with ease, a tricky small rock buttress being the only obstacle. The gradient was only 30° to begin with but this increased to 45° half-way up and then to 50° towards the top of the ridge. While climbing there were great views of Peaks 6156m and 6105m to our left. The ridge then broadened out towards the summit and the final hundred meters was easy climbing. From a plateau we climbed a small cone to what appeared to be the highest point. Peter led the last few meters and soon we were shaking one another's hands on the summit. Views north towards Kuk Sar 2 (6925m) were awsome. I set about setting my tripod up for a few photos. "I don't believe it!" exclaimed Peter. He was looking at the same step of ice that had caught my eye. On the other side of the plateau below us was a point that looked a few meters higher than where we were currently standing. The peaks to both our left and right were both also clearly higher than where we were standing. The altimeter also read 5800m and so our summit proved a bit of an anti-climax.
"We'll just have to climb that over there as well" I stated. If we could gain the step I was sure we could climb the ridge to the summit of the next peak further east with no problem. The step was about six meters high and overhung however. With no ice screws a direct climb was almost impossible without two technical axes. Had I bought some screws and slings I could probably have aid-climbed my way up. The only option was to traverse round on to its back side where there was a slope to the top. Shortly after we started Peter backed off not trusting his crampons enough in the sugary ice. I continued alone but soon had to back off myself as the ice was deteriorating the further I traversed. "Can I borrow your axe, Pete"? "Sure". I had two axes but my walking axe wasn't suited to the conditions so was really only a backup for Peter's short axe. I tried to traverse a lower line, determined not to give up. Again the ice deteriorated the further I traversed. Close to where I could gain my intended slope the ice became too fissured for comfort. The harder I swung my axe the bigger the holes that I would find under its surface. I found myself delicately hooking on brittle ice. One of my crampons slipped from its hold. I glanced across at Peter who was anticipating having to descend to the Yoksugoz glacier after I had fallen to verify I was dead! "Are you sure about this?" Peter enquired. That was all I needed to hear to make me back off for a second time. "No! I'm coming back".
In light of my failed attempt to gain the ice step I started the descent in a subdued mood. The ridge had to be down-climbed, facing inwards for much of the way as both our crampons were balling up. After a long summer climbing in the Karakoram my anti-balling plates had developed small holes that were causing them to be ineffective, evidence that some of my equipment was approaching retirement. Peter's crampons on the other hand simply didn't have anti-balling plates. The first half of the descent therefore took longer than would normally be expected. A couple of times when I tried to down climb facing outwards I soon slipped as a result of the build-up on the underside of my boots. By the time we reached the col it was late afternoon.
The snow was becoming very soft in the afternoon heat and a straight descent from the col definitely looked easier than trying to traverse across and down the way we had come to the bivi sight. We opted to make a straight descent however much of the col was corniced and below the col lay steep ice and crevasses. A starting point was not obvious. Peter identified a break in the cornice but when we tried to traverse above a crevasse in order to gain a snow slope we were forced to back off as the snow conditions became more and more desperate. With a rope we could easily have abseiled off a snow bollard and been on easier ground in no time.
Another possibility to get off the col was via a short, steep ice gully that lead to easier ground after only ten meters. This seemed our best bet. Peter went first, taking his time to find good axe placements in light of his crampons' ineffectiveness to bite in to the ice. It looked desperate! There was a loose top layer of snow that skated down the face like water each time Peter disturbed it with his feet however we were not overly concerned due to its shallow depth. Once off the initial ice section it was my turn. I descended trying to hook my walking axe into Peter's placements with little success. In light of my axe's ineffectiveness my forged crampon front points were my saviour allowing me to kick in firmly where Peter had been unable to do so… that was until I had kicked in hard and one of my crampons fell off!
The crampon hung from my boot by its bindings. I tried to place weight on the boot that had lost the crampon but the ice was to hard, steep and smooth to be able to gain any footing. I held on to the ice with one crampon and one axe that didn't work. Lactic acid was quickly building up in my calf through which all my weight was being applied. I flexed my knee so as to take some of the weight at my hip. Peter had no choice but to climb back up to me to reattach the crampon. Fortunately Peter was able to reattach the crampon quickly and efficiently but could only do the binding up loosely from below. The crampon felt secure however and I was able to down climb the remainder of the section where I could tighten them properly. Had I led the descent then it would have been virtually impossible for Peter to manoeuvre around me and reattach the crampon and I would have probably fallen a long way, unable to continue down-climbing with one leg and one ineffective axe. Why the crampon fell off I am not sure. Maybe the front clip on my step-in crampons was not contoured closely enough to my boot. Whatever the case my crampons are in the process of being replaced for obvious safety reasons!
We were soon both on easier ground however the descent route through the seracs and crevasses was still not obvious. Peter led the way but soon fell in to a crevasse up to his hips a few hundred meters down. It was the first of many! His hands were becoming cold as a result of his mittens becoming soaked through so I lent him one of mine. As the gradient eased I was able to down-climb quicker due to my crampons greater effectiveness. I moved ahead searching for a way down. Crossing a large crevasse filled to the brim with avalanche debris, I bared left to a spot where I was able to see the general lie of the slopes. To continue descending on our current line was impossible due to imminent seracs below. The lower slopes to the left looked a good exit however the crevasses and seracs in-between were certainly impassable. To my right there appeared to be a way down following an initial traverse in order to gain the decent line.
Light was fading and I was keen to descend as far possible before it was lost altogether. Peter was struggling with his crampons however and not keeping in touch with me. Snow conditions were starting to improve however and as the sun was setting it was already starting to refreeze. We managed to make the traverse just before dark. By the time darkness fell we appeared to be on a good line off the mountain and I descended towards a prominence I had observed from my aforementioned viewpoint. The ground was heavily crevassed and I fell in three narrow crevasses in succession which were a matter of meters apart. Next it was Peter's turn to fall in the biggest crevasse up to his waist. With a bomber deep axe placement he was never in any risk. Then I fell in my fourth! It was becoming a bit of a joke with regards to the number of hidden crevasses on our descent route. A lot of snow had fallen in the days preceding our climb and many of the crevasses were still well hidden.
I was struggling to route find due to my LED torch's short range. From the prominence we bared right and continued descending only to encounter deep crevasses. A steep descent line looked possible close-by however we were reluctant to follow it due to being under equipped for such steep slopes. The ice was of the sugary consistence that we had become familiar with in the Karakoram and the prospect of down-climbing it was not a pleasant one. We tried to find an alternative way through the crevasses but it quickly became evident that we were wasting our time. We reluctantly opted for the steep line. Peter went first but didn't look comfortable. He backed off then tried again. "Pull yourself together Pete" he muttered under his breath. "We could always see the night out and descend in daylight Pete", I pointed out. Peter immediately backed off for the second time feeling as though he could fall at any time. The night was calm and roughing it on the mountain's lower slopes didn't seem that desperate. I proposed that we climb back up to the prominence where it looked slightly flatter than our current position and without the company of crevasses. I also felt that this was the point where we had taken our wrong turn and from where we could resume our descent in the morning.
The spot didn't look so great for spending a night on second inspection however. To our left there looked to be an easier route down. Figuring that we would not get any sleep during the night we decided to try it immediately. The descent line thankfully proved fruitful although the ice became steeper as we approached the main glacier. I became increasingly annoyed with my axe's ability to stick in the ice as it became steeper but my crampons felt secure with each step down. By the time we were off the mountain it was 10pm… twenty hours after we had set foot on it!
Peter immediately proposed that we crash nearby for the night but I was keen to find our bivi bags and get a proper night's sleep. We spent an hour weaving in and out of crevasses trying to recognise the landscape and identify the spot where we had started climbing in the morning. In the end we gave up. Peter looked exhausted and didn't want to walk any more. I felt much the same. We found a spot where the ice was covered by moraine and there were a few large rocks. I found a small rock just about big enough for me to curl up in the foetal position. Peter meanwhile made a flat area on the rocks to sleep even finding a suitable rock to use as a pillow. It was a fairly mild night but even wearing all our clothes we were still not warm enough and both of us slept little. When we did manage to sleep we would soon wake up feeling colder than ever. Both of us used our rucksacks as a kind of sleeping bag although I don't think it made any difference.
The sun began to rise after 4am and we made ready to move. Having removed his rucksack from his legs Peter was struggling to stand up. Every time he tried he would loose his balance and fall to the ground again which was quite funny for me to watch. By 4.30am it was light enough for us to effectively navigate and by 5am we had already found our bivi bags… which proved to be only a few hundred meters away! Packing everything up, we headed back to base camp. The good weather through the night extended into the morning with clear blue skies above all the surrounding peaks. Not surprisingly I spent much of the day in my sleeping bag, rising only to eat food. Despite the epic I was proud of my efforts on the mountain. After feeling totally exhausted during the walk-in I felt I put in a good performance on summit day with renewed energy. The route we climbed was definitely not the easy line that Peter saw in 1999. That was higher up the valley towards the Lupgar Pir Pass.
After a good night's sleep we trekked backed to Raminj stopping at the stone huts at Ghorhil to share tea with a friendly shepherd called Rahmet Karim. Weather deteriorated in the afternoon again. Having reached the water channel that I fell in to during the walk-in we expected to be in Raminj soon after. A full tide of rocks was falling on our path however and many section of the path were now buried in scree. We often found ourselves waiting for rocks to stop tumbling down the scree before making a dash to safety.
We reached Raminj by 6pm and found a Jeep to charter back to Sost soon after. As with many 'private hires' in Pakistan it wasn't so private and having agreed a price a number of locals jumped aboard for the free ride. I have never been happier to spend a night in the awful border town of Sost. We were in bed by 8pm and quickly fell asleep despite a loud generator outside our room.
I dreamt of taking that cable car down from the Aiguille du Midi on my next climbing trip!

Hello there,
I have 2 questions…
1) How can I remove the logo from the hearder completely?
2) When I view a portfolio item, I'd like the portfolio meta information to stay where it is (right side of the photo) but I'd like to move the content of the portfolio to come under the picture. How can I do this?
3) If I'd like to move the portfolio meta information under the picture as well then what should I do?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
TarkiFebruary 6, 2013 at 7:53 am #106217
1) To remove the header you can edit your header.php file at the base directory of the theme and change lines 142 which looks like
to look like
Items 2 & 3 I remember answering before and moving meta data below the image. Have you checked the forum? also do you mean styling the portfolio item located on the regular or ajax portfolio (where the item opens on top dynamically on the same page) ?
NickFebruary 6, 2013 at 9:55 am #106218
Hi Nick,
Thank you very much. I searched the forums but I couldn't find answers to my questions.
1) To clarify, I'd like to remove the logo in fact (not the header completely). If I edit header.php wouldn't this change overwritten by theme updates?
2) I'd like to do this at Ajax portfolio. When I view a portfolio item, I'd like the portfolio meta information to stay where it is (right side of the photo) but I'd like to move the content of the portfolio to come under the picture. How can I do this?
3) OK I don't need this one anymore…
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
TarkiFebruary 6, 2013 at 8:11 pm #106219
Hi Tarki,
1) If you are not using a child theme then any modification you do including adding code to custom.css file will be overwritten by an update.
This is the child theme to flagship, just install it as you would any other theme. http://www.mediafire.com/file/h4owsh852alwccg/flagship-child.zip
2) Please open up functions-flagship.php located in the base folder and find line 78 which looks like
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' →');
and move it up to line 85
so that after you are done , lines 84-88 would look like
echo "
";
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' →');
echo "
";
NickFebruary 8, 2013 at 7:05 pm #106220
Thank you again. I installed child theme but it gives an error. It doesn't find the parent theme in fact.. I use wordpress multisite… Should I do something to make it work?
Kind regards,
TarkiFebruary 8, 2013 at 7:54 pm #106221
Have you read the instructions that pop up when you open the zip file?
For a child to find its parent, it must know 2 things a) the name of the folder containing the parent theme; b) the name of the parent theme as defined in the parent style.css file.
a) Inside the child theme zip , please open style.css file and find a directive which looks like
@import url("../flagship/style.css");
that is the url to the folder containing the parent theme. (capitalized/small letters are different, so Flagship is different than flagship.) The name of the folder that contains the parent theme must be correct here. If you renamed the theme folder, please make sure that child.css file shows the correct value for the name of the theme folder.
b) Inside the child theme zip , please open style.css file and also open the style.css file of the parent theme (you can view source to see it or look at the base of the parent theme folder). Inside the child theme style.css file, the directive "Template: " must have an identical value to the value of directive "Theme Name:" in parent theme's style.css
So if in your parent theme's style.css it shows "Theme Name: Flagship" or "Theme Name: I am Co0L" then your child theme's style.css must show "Template: Flagship" or "Template: I am Co0L". (capital/small letters are different, so Flagship is different than flagship.)
NickFebruary 8, 2013 at 8:24 pm #106222
Hello Nick,
Thank you very much. I followed your instructions very carefully and all seems correct. Anyway, I haven't renamed any folders in fact. But I checked to see @import url("../flagship/style.css"); in the child theme's style.css and it is there and also flagship is the correct folder name (checked the folder with FTP). I carefully examined letter cases and all small letters, so it is not a problem related to letters cases…
Also I checked inside the child theme style.css file, the directive "Template: " has the same value to the value of directive "Theme Name:" in parent theme's style.css … Both are Flagship in fact
As I told here earlier this is a multisite wordpress installation. Is this a problem with multisite?
What else can I check?
Kind regards,
TarkiFebruary 9, 2013 at 12:11 am #106223
No problem with multisite. I checked the file by downloading the zip child theme from the same location as I gave you and installing it on a multisite i have on localhost and activated the child theme without a problem.
You can try this instead: @import url("../Flagship/style.css"); If it doesnt work, then:
Please create a temp admin account for me and send the credentials to usjahm (at) gmail (dot) com.

Hello again,
finally child theme is installed successfully. After all it was related to capital small letter issue
After changing Template: Flagship to Template: flagship
all worked.
After sorting out this problem now I can start to tackle my real issue I believe. To achieve what I wanted to do you told me to move the following line in functions-flagship.php.
the_content(__('Read more','avia_framework').' →');
My questions now
1) I can't find functions-flagship.php in the child theme. But if I make the change in the main theme then I'll lose my changes when there is a theme update. So could you clarfiy where should I make this suggested change?
2) Just for now I made the change in the main theme and it seems like it worked. However I can see 2 lines in the middle of the text (text which is under the photos now). How can I remove them? Also how can I put some left and right margin for the text?
Thank you very much for all help,
TarkiFebruary 11, 2013 at 3:52 pm #106226
Glad you got that part working. It usually is a little thing like that which is hardest to spot.
1) The child theme is composed of 1 css file with 2 lines of code inside, and everything else is optional. I suggest you read http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes this, it is actually a good read, not very complex, and it will answer all your questions.
2) The whole point of using a child theme, is to *not edit* the parent theme ever again. When you want to edit a parent theme file, you copy it, and move it to the child theme, and create empty folders to match the structure of the parent theme and drop the file there. Every file in the parent theme (except functions.php) gets overridden by the child theme if the file is present there.

Could you help me with my following question as well?

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: May 23, 2010 from Centralia, Illinois Classification: Endangered Missing Date of Birth: February 12, 1969 Age: 41 years old Height and Weight: 5'6, 165 pounds Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Blonde hair, brown eyes. Bentley's nickname is Beth and her maiden name is Rogers. She wears hair extensions. Clothing/Jewelry Description: A black tank top, a blue denim miniskirt, flip-flops, a Pandora bracelet, a wedding ring and possibly a silver Tiffany necklace. Carrying a pink and orange flowered Vera Bradley overnight bag, an iPhone and a large white purse. A photo of the overnight bag is posted below this case summary.
Details of Disappearance
Bentley was last seen in Centralia, Illinois on May 23, 2010. She had spent the weekend there and her friend and coworker, Jennifer Wyatt-Paplham (often called Jenn Wyatt in press accounts), was supposed to drive her home on May 24. A photo of Wyatt-Paplham is posted below this case summary. She initially claimed Bentley decided to take the train home a day early and she dropped Bentley off at the train station so she could catch a 6:08 p.m. Amtrak train to Union Station in Chicago, Illinois. There is no evidence that she ever boarded the train. Bentley has never been heard from again.
Authorities determined that Bentley had lied to her husband about where she was going during her weekend vacation. She told him she and her friend were visiting Wyatt-Paplham's relatives in Madison, Wisconsin. In fact, the two had gone to southern Illinois together. Bentley's husband was also unaware that Bentley and Wyatt-Paplham flew to St. Louis, Missouri over Mother's Day Weekend, two weeks before Bentley disappeared. The women separated there and Bentley spent the weekend with an unidentified man. They reunited at the end of the weekend and returned to Chicago together. Bentley didn't provide many details about the man she'd been with and Wyatt-Paplham never met him.
In 2012, Wyatt-Paplham was charged with two counts of obstruction of justice, a felony punishable by one to three years in prison. She admitted she'd lied about Bentley going to take a train; her second story was that she did drop Bentley off at the Amtrak station, but Bentley had no intention of boarding any train and was going to meet a friend instead. Investigators believe she also lied when she said she didn't have contact with Bentley on or after May 25, 2010. Phone records indicate Wyatt-Paplham called Bentley's cellular phone numerous times and one call lasted five minutes, though it's unclear whether Bentley herself answered the call. In August 2012, the charges against Wyatt-Paplham were dismissed. The judge ruled that even if she had lied, the prosecution couldn't prove she "acted with the intent to either prevent the apprehension or obstruct the prosecution or defense of any person," which is what constitutes obstruction of justice.
Bentley left behind three sons. She worked as a secretary for her husband, a lawyer, at the time of her disappearance. Her loved ones stated it's uncharacteristic of her to leave without warning and they don't believe she would have abandoned her children.

2013 Legislative Session Update
The Washington State Legislature is nearly two months into its 105-day session. This session has been a very active one for organized dentistry. WSDA has been tracking more than 30 bills related to dental workforce, loan repayment, dental access, dental insurance, licensure, and several other issues. The 2013 legislative session is scheduled to end in late April.
On February 22, the session reached its first significant milestone: the policy cutoff date for all non-fiscal or transportation related bills. This means that all policy bills that were not voted out of their committee of origin are dead for the session. However, all legislation introduced during the 2013 legislative session is automatically reintroduced during the 2014 legislative session.
Here is a breakdown of some of the bills and fiscal issues that WSDA has been involved in:
New Dental Workforce Legislation
All new dental practitioner bills died in their committees of origin. HB 1516 and SB 5433 were nearly identical to dental therapist legislation that was considered during the 2012 legislative session. Both bills were supported by the Children's Alliance, the Washington State Dental Hygienists' Association, and other members of the Washington Dental Access Campaign. WSDA opposed both bills as they would have created dental practitioners with the ability to diagnose and perform irreversible procedures without the supervision of a dentist.
HB 1514, legislation patterned after WSDA's HD-13-2012, was introduced in the House by Representative Eileen Cody (D-Seattle). WSDA opposed HB 1514 as did the Children's Alliance, the Washington State Dental Hygienists' Association, and other advocates for dental therapists. Prior to the 2013 legislative session, WSDA's leadership decided to not support legislation based on HD-13-2012. This decision was based upon further review of existing dental therapist models, new research on the cost-effectiveness of dental midlevel providers, the increased viability of expanding dental residency positions across the state, and the rejection of the model by the Children's Alliance and other advocacy organizations.
The House Health Committee held a hearing on HB 1514 and HB 1516 in early February. At the hearing, over a dozen dentists, lobbyists, and citizen advocates spoke in support and against the dental therapist model. WSDA's panel of dentists questioned the viability of creating a new workforce member and spoke in support of better alternatives including dental residency programs and reinstating adult dental Medicaid funding.
Residency Expansion and Loan Repayment:
WSDA is working with the Yakima Valley Farmworkers Clinic and the Columbia Basin Health Association to expand Community Health Center (CHC)-based dental residency positions in Eastern Washington. WSDA and these partners are requesting capital matching funds to expand dental clinics in Toppenish, Othello, and Walla Walla. These expanded clinics will allow for up to six new dental residency positions in rural parts of Eastern Washington. CHC and hospital-based residency positions continue to expand in Washington state. There are currently 33 CHC/hospital based residency positions; nine additional positions will be added this July.
SB 5615 is a bill sponsored by Senator David Frockt (D-Seattle) which aims to reinvigorate the health professional loan repayment program for primary care practitioners who work in rural and underserved areas. This legislation was voted out of the Senate Health and Senate Higher Education committees. SB 5615 would require the state program to solicit and seek grants and donations from public and private sources. WSDA testified in support of SB 5615 and will continue to work on improvements and enhancements to loan repayment programs for newly licensed dentists. According to the American Dental Education Association, the average student debt load for 2011 dental school graduates is $203,374.
Adult Dental Medicaid Funding
In 2011, dental coverage for most Medicaid-insured adults was eliminated. As a result, nearly 450,000 low-income adults, including many people with disabilities and 130,000 seniors, were left with only access to emergency dental care. The WSDA and the Coalition to Fund Dental Access are fighting to restore the dental safety net and ensure that the state's most vulnerable have access to comprehensive dental care. WSDA and the coalition are asking that the legislature do the following:
• Restore comprehensive dental coverage for Medicaid-eligible adults. Today, only 38,000 Medicaid-eligible adults have comprehensive coverage; leaving 450,000 adults without comprehensive dental care. Reinstating adult dental Medicaid coverage will cost the state $28.7 million for the biennium.
• Include dental coverage in Medicaid expansion benefits. The Affordable Care Act provides states with a 100% match to expand Medicaid coverage to all adults who live at or below 138% of the federal poverty level. Adding dental coverage for this vulnerable population will not impact the state's operating fund in this biennium.
The Washington State Dental Association is a founding member of the Coalition to Fund Dental Access, a coalition created in 2007. Other coalition members include: University of Washington School of Dentistry, Solid Ground, Washington Association of Community & Migrant Health Centers, Poverty Action Network, Washington Dental Service Foundation, Children's Alliance, Washington State Dental Hygienists Association, and many other organizations.
WSDA/WSDHA Joint Legislation
WSDA and the Washington State Dental Hygienists' Association jointly authored and support HB 1330. HB 1330 would allow dental hygienists to provide preventative services to homebound patients under general supervision. The legislation also fixes a DOH legal interpretation that has prohibited dental hygienists from placing topical anesthesia under general supervision and prohibited dental assistants and EFDAs from placing topical anesthesia altogether. HB 1330 was voted out of the House Health Committee.
Washington Physicians Health Program
HB 1534 would increase the dental license surcharge for the Washington Physicians Health Program (WPHP) from $25 to $50. WPHP helps dentists, physicians and other health care practitioners recover from impairing illnesses such as addiction or other physical and mental conditions. WPHP is a non-profit organization and is not affiliated with the Department of Health. The program is funded by practitioners enrolled in the program, donations and the license fee surcharges on health care practitioners. The surcharge on dental licenses has been $25 for over ten years while the surcharge for physicians and physician's assistants has been $50 for the last four years. HB 1534 was voted out of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services and is supported by WSDA.
Licensure Grace Period
WSDA has worked with Representative Mike Hope (R-Lake Stevens) on HB 1603. HB 1603 would establish a 30-day grace period for expired dental licenses and require all health carriers to reimburse dentists with expired licenses for services performed within 30 days of their license expiration date. While the license would remain active for an additional 30 days under HB 1603, all applicable late fees would still be imposed. HB 1603 was not voted out of the House Health Committee in 2013. However, HB 1603 will automatically be reintroduced in the 2014 Legislative Session.
HB 1270 would provide the Board of Denturists with the authority to handle denturists' disciplinary cases. HB 1270 was voted out of the House Health Committee.
HB 1271 is based on legislation that passed in Oregon a few years ago and would expand the scope of practice of denturists. In 2012, the Department of Health conducted a sunrise review on a denturist scope of practice expansion that would have permitted denturists to make and place all "nonorthodontic removable devices." DOH and WSDA both agreed that there was substantial risk of patient harm if denturists were permitted to make and place "nonorthodontic removable devices."
WSDA testified against HB 1271 and the use of this vague definition. HB 1271 was amended to allow denturists to make and place sports mouth guards, bruxism devices, whitening trays, removable cosmetic appliances, and snoring devices after a physician has ruled out snoring associated with sleep breathing disorders. Substitute HB 1271 was voted out of the House Health Committee.
Health Care Reform Legislation
HB 1846 is legislation supported by Washington Dental Service and would require that stand alone pediatric dental plans be offered both inside and outside of the health benefit exchanges. The Affordable Care Act requires that pediatric dental coverage be included as an "essential health benefit" and is required to be included in all small group and individual health insurance starting in 2014. Currently, all pediatric dental plans offered inside of the exchange are required to be priced and offered separately. It is unclear if HB 1846 would prohibit medical insurance providers from embedding pediatric dental coverage into their medical insurance outside of the exchange. HB 1846 was voted out of the House Health Committee and WSDA is closely monitoring the legislation.

Karen Millen Releases 'No More Tiaras' Film Teaser
The brand offers a new take on beauty pageants
Karen Millen is undergoing something of an image overhaul. The retailer has released a teaser clip for its forthcoming short film No More Tiaras - directed by Mary Nighy, and starring Langley Fox Hemingway, Dylan Penn, Adwoa Aboah and Stephanie La Cava - a piece intended as a fun, affectionate way to change women's perceptions of the Karen Millen brand.
Based around the theme of beauty pageants, Langley Fox says; "the film is really awesome, I think it's a cool way to show the clothes and it's kind of a way of rebelling by putting on these pieces that are comfortable and wearable but still strong within themselves. British style is great. It's almost fearless. People really do what they feel and make statements and I think that's fun."
The full film will be available to watch on karenmillen.com from 14 May to coincide with the opening of two new Karen Millen flagship stores in London and New York. Watch the trailer in full below.

No. You could write one (probably even in Python by abusing the __array_interface__ appropriately) and perhaps convince Jonathon Taylor to use it in scipy.sandbox.models, but the chance of a performance gain is almost certainly not worth the effort or the multiplication of similar functions. > Also, what if x.shape is (5,3).

According to the "Agricultural Prices" report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday, the milk-feed profitability ratio was 1.55 in May, up slightly from 1.54 in April and 1.48 in March.
Regardless, things aren't good when the ratio is this far below 2.0.
The all-milk price used in calculating May's ratio rose, climbing from $19.50 per hundredweight in April to $19.80.
Yet, prices for soybeans and alfalfa hay rose, which offset the advantages of a higher milk price. Soybeans rose from $14.40 per bushel in April to $14.80 in May, while alfalfa hay rose from $215 per ton to $221 in May. The corn price fell slightly from $6.97 per bushel in April to $6.88 in May.
Read the report here (see page 40).
The milk-feed ratio is a rough measure of dairy profitability. It represents the pounds of 16-percent mixed dairy feed equal in value to 1 pound of whole milk. Therefore, with a 1.55 ratio in May, a dairy producer could buy 1.55 pounds of feed for every 1 pound of milk sold.
Some people question how valid the USDA's milk-feed ratio is. See this story. But the USDA has been using the same formula for years, comparing the same commodities. Therefore, it can serve as a relative measure for comparing different points in time.

Book Launch: "L'architecture Sauvage - Asger Jorn's Critique And Concept Of Architecture"
Come and meet the German author Ruth Baumeister who will introduce her new book about the Danish Cobra artist Asger Jorn's theoretical work.
The Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973) is internationally reknown for his activities within the Cobra and the International Situationist groups. Quite apart from his paintings, prints, ceramics and sculptures, Jorn produced a remarkable amount of theoretical work. " L'architecture Sauvage - Asger Jorn's Critique And Concept Of Architecture" for the first time reveals this largely ignored aspect of Jorn's work.
Among the topics presented is Jorn's intellectual relationship with Le Corbusier. His initial passionate admiration for the master architect gradually evolved into a strong critique of Le Corbusier's concept of the 'house as a machine for living' which he confronted with the idea of a 'house as a machine for expression'.
The author Ruth Baumeister, who also teach at Aarhus School of Architecture, will tell about the creation of the book and about Jorn's relationship to architecture. She will be in dialogue with the Danish landscape architect Stig L. Andersson. Afterwards there will be a book signing with the author.
The event will be held in English.

Ukiah City Manager
The Ukiah Country PumpkinFest, scheduled for October 13 and 14, is one of Ukiah's longest standing and most successful events. Says Maya Simerson, one of the City's lead organizers of the event, "The City doesn't own Pumpkinfest; it's a community and committee-driven event." A dedicated steering committee of volunteers meets year-round to plan the festivities, with some members serving for their 19th year.
Organizations like the City of Ukiah, Savings Bank of Mendocino County, KWNE & KMAX radio, DJ Ken Steeley Entertainment, the Boy Scouts, and founding committee member Judy Pruden have been active partners in the event for many years. Community non-profits like 4-H, Deep Valley Christian School, Mendocino Ballet, the Waldorf School of Mendocino County, the Chamber of Commerce, the local Girl Scouts and many more rely on their annual participation for important fundraising. The popular beer and wine tasting element is a money-maker for the Chamber of Commerce. Blue Ribbon Pets host's Sunday afternoon's anchor events of pet costume and dog racing. The support of our community, including sponsors like Safeway, Pacific Gas & Electric and Friedman's Home Improvement, makes PumpkinFest shine as the premiere downtown event of the year.
Ukiah is experiencing a phenomenal increase in visitors, thanks largely to the invigorated visitor attraction program, Visit Ukiah. Hotel occupancy tax revenue in Ukiah increased by nearly 12 percent in 2011; in the first half of 2012, revenue is up another 10 percent over 2011. These hotel dollars translate to additional revenue for Ukiah's restaurants, shops, and services. These are impressive numbers in any economy, let alone the challenged climate of today.
For many months now, City staff has been working with the state to facilitate the development of a new Ukiah courthouse. Ukiah's courthouse has long been on the State's list of 39 courthouses that need replacement due to concerns of overcrowding, lack of handicap accessibility, security risks, and more. Though a location has been selected and work to prepare that site has been performed, the project is now at risk for delay due to circumstances outside the city.
In an effort to balance the state's budget, legislators moved nearly $100 million from the budget that would have funded these projects. A dedicated committee, including local judges and elected officials (Mayor Landis and Councilmember Rodin for the City), is building a case for the retention of this project, which would create jobs, stimulate development in the surrounding areas, and create a county courthouse that is safe, efficient, and accessible to all. In early September, this committee will present their case to the state review board in hopes of securing the Ukiah project.
Rumors and speculation continue to swirl around Costco and we are constantly asked if they are still coming to Ukiah. Costco remains in escrow on the property on Airport Park Boulevard. The City anticipates that the draft environmental impact report for the project will be available in October.

ISLAMABAD, May 25: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday directed Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) Farkhand Iqbal to submit an affidavit to the court by Monday on the transparency of the Rs6.8 billion project for installing 65,000 light emitting diodes (LED) in the streets of the city.
Justice Mohammad Azim Khan Afridi passed the orders while hearing a petition filed against the LED project by advocates Mohammad Naseem Khan and Shajjar Abbas.
The petitioners told the court that a 'letter of intent' had been issued to M/S Oslo Lighting Solutions and alleged that the award of contract was under the shadow of illegal orders of the prime minister and the prime minister's task force on CDA. The petitioners alleged that the award might cause over Rs6.8 billion loss to the national exchequer.
They said the contract had been awarded bypassing the CDA Board and in violation of the recommendations of the Planning Commission.
The CDA in February 2, 2010, invited proposals from local and international firms or joint ventures to provide cost-effective solution for replacement of streetlights with the LED technology or other energy efficient solutions to reduce the high energy cost.
In response, six firms filed their proposals out of which MS Oslo Lighting Solutions, Siteco and Infracon were short-listed. The petitioners said a high-level official of the CDA in one of its meetings had observed that none of the firms had conformed to the criteria laid down by the authority.
The petitioners said the Asian Development Bank (ADB) had offered to fund the project to the tune of $70 million on the condition that its financial support would be subject to satisfaction in respect of the "policy, financial, technical, contractual and legal aspects of the transaction."
The CDA then approached Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) and told them that MS Oslo had given "the most viable and workable financial model" and Siteco offered the "lowest cost" but PPRA asked the civic agency to accept lowest evaluated bid.
The petition said the ADB refused to finance the project as the CDA accepted the bid of MS Oslo. The CDA then approached the Central Development Working Party and the Planning Commission for approval of the project. The Planning Commission raised a number of objections to the project, including its high price, financial rate of return, transparency and advised the CDA to first launch a pilot project.
The CDWP raised certain objections and issued directions to the CDA but the authority did not adhere to them.
The petitioners requested the court to stop the CDA from executing the project until or unless the authority satisfies the court that the project was transparent and in accordance with the PPRA rules.

Walmart now open on ASU's Tempe campus
A recent azfamily.com story covered the opening of a new Walmart store on ASU's Tempe campus, May 15.
The store is only the second "Walmart on Campus" in the country and is located in the Vista del Sol Plaza, near Rural and Apache.
"The new location functions as a convenience store, and offers ASU students and faculty easier access to Walmart's 'everyday low prices,'" according to a press release.
Compared to other Walmart locations – such as the Supercenter in Paradise Valley, which measures about 100,000 square-feet – the store is much smaller. It measures just 5,000 square-feet and will employ just 10 associates.
The store is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., weekdays and Saturdays, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., on Sundays. The location will include a pharmacy with Walmart's signature $4 prescription program.
"The new Walmart on Campus is going to be a wonderful amenity for the students of ASU," said Mary Ann Miller, president and CEO of the Tempe Chamber of Commerce. She added that the new location "will add to the convenience of living on or next to campus."

Martine Desjardins delivers to readers of Maleficium the unexpurgated revelations of Vicar Jerome Savoie, a heretic priest in nineteenth century Montreal. Braving threats from the Catholic Church, Savoie dares to violate the sanctity of the confessional in this confession-within- a-confession, in which seven penitents, each afflicted with a debilitating malady or struck with a crippling deformity, relates his encounter with an enigmatic young woman whose lips bear a striking scar.
As these men penetrate deep into the exotic Orient, each falls victim to his own secret vice. One treks through Ethiopia in search of wingless locusts. Another hunts for fly-whisks among the clove plantations of Zanzibar. Yet others bargain for saffron in a Srinagar bazaar, search for the rarest frankincense and pursue the coveted hawksbill turtle in the Sea of Oman. Two more seek the formula for sabon Nablus in Palestine or haggle over Persian carpets in the royal gardens of Shiraz. The men's individual forms of punishment, revealed through the agency of the young woman, are wrought upon their bodies.
Baroque in its complexity, Kafka-like in its inexorable mechanics, Maleficium by turns astonishes, amuses and beguiles. Then author Martine Desjardins's Vicar Savoie—as in any confession worth its communion wafer—saves the best (or worst) for last.
Maleficium won the Prix Jacques Brossard and was a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award (French Fiction), the Prix des libraires du Québec, the Prix des cinq continents de la Francophonie and the Prix France–Québec.

"The stories in Maleficium are bizarre and bold. Quebec's Martine Desjardins paints the Orient and its temptations in sensuous detail and frames her travellers' tales with the church confessional. Ingenious!"
—Katherine Govier
"Lust, greed, retribution, and shame — Maleficium reads like a flesh-bound catalogue of my favourite sins. Desjardins skillfully blends the repulsive with the erotic to craft stories that rise from the past and perfume the air with incense and magic. An intensely pleasurable work that builds, tale by exotic tale, to a dark climax. Forgive me, Father: I loved it."
—Jenn Farrell
"[Martine Desjardins] has dared to write a book unlike any other, dipping her pen in the ink of a bygone day, before nature and its mysteries had been deciphered; when desire loomed with dark and frightening power. The result is an extraordinary festival of the senses."
" Maleficium is an orgiastic celebration of our five senses … Drawing on explorers' diaries, medical reference manuals, entomological textbooks and reference works on the varying professions of those who have confided their secret sins to their parish priest, the novel at the same time impressions the reader with its rigorous attention to detail."
—Le Libraire
"The collection of confessions takes a deliciously strange approach to remembering and retelling the past. In an unexpected twist near the end, an eighth perspective adds compelling backstory and transports readers to new terrain altogether."
—Quill & Quire

There are a very limited number of convenient 1-character operators available, and I'm not certain that function application should take up 3 of them.

A ton of the remains of dinosaurs and ancient birds discovered in Antarctica
During the expedition in Antarctica, an international team of researchers found more than a ton of dinosaur bones, some of which inhabited the Earth 71 million years ago. Also, experts have discovered well-preserved remains who lived in the distant past birds.
photo: morguefile.com
Twelve researchers from Australia, USA and South Africa noted that the number of other fossils by the expedition, they managed to find the remains of ancient marine reptiles such as plesiosaurs and masonary. Among birds, a curious discovery was the remains of ancient ducks, who lived in the late Cretaceous period, according to abc.net.
Experts say that during their study, they divided a large plot on the Antarctic Peninsula sector with an area of 50 by 100 meters, and then systematically examined each of these sectors, "looking under every rock". The Antarctic Peninsula has interested scientists because of the warm time of year on its surface you can see the cliffs that literally caught the time of the dinosaurs. Also, the experts visited the Islands of James Ross and VEGA island.
According to paleontologists, the way to Antarctica and work in the rocky terrain at very low temperatures has proved difficult for professionals adventure. However, earlier the route, which they passed, it would be impossible — the way was blocked by too much sea ice, experts say.
As stressed by the head of research, Steve Salisbury from the University of Queensland, many findings are surprisingly well preserved considering their age. The fossils will be sent to the Museum of natural history, Carnegie Pennsylvania. In their study, according to experts, it will take many years.
The researchers expressed hope that their success will inspire other professionals to enhance the "hunting for fossils".Related posts:

Runtime: 114 minutes
Year: 1996
TV Rating: R
Appeared at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival
A best-selling Freudian study about women's sexuality might not seem the best source for a dramatic feature, but first-time filmmaker Susan Streitfeld deftly takes ideas from Louise J. Kaplan's Female Perversions: The Temptations of Emma Bovary and suggests how deviant behavior may be merely a manifestation of societal conditioning. Eve Stephens (Tilda Swinton) is a high-powered attorney who is being considered for a coveted position as a judge. But behind the expensive lipstick, the woman who has it all is coming apart with feelings of repression and inadequacy. With Amy Madigan as Eve's sister, a kleptomaniac with a taste for lingerie and designer accessories.

An area pastor recently walked more than 200 miles in an effort to raise money for a Christian publication that helps the homeless.
Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church said he felt led to support the FaithUnity OutLoud, a publication sold through the homeless.
"We employ 155 homeless people and we're trying to get up
to the 300 mark, and it gets them off the streets, gives them some
self-worth, some value," he explained.
Locke started his mission in Murfreesboro and walked a total of 240 miles in six days to Paducah, Kentucky.
During the nearly week long walk, Lock raised $10,000 which will be presented to the publication on Wednesday.
Last fall, Locke camped out on a platform for several days in an effort to collect 100 sleeping bags, 100 bikes, tarps and tents.
For more information on FaithUnity OutLoud, visit their Facebook page.

CARLTON vice-captain Andrew Carrazzo says the Blues are ready to put new coach Mick Malthouse's game plan into action.
While beaten by Brisbane in the NAB Cup grand final, Carrazzo said the side knows what Malthouse requires ahead of Thursday night's Round 1 clash with Richmond.
"I think we're a fair way advanced,'' Carrazzo said.
"Ask any coach and any team throughout the year, there's going to be slight little days where they regress a little bit and they've got to adjust things.
"We played plenty of good footy throughout the NAB Cup, that last game against Brisbane we like to think was a bit of an aberration.
"We've had two weeks to fix some of the things that happened and some of the way we played.
"We've had a good block of training in the last week and a half and I speak for everyone in saying we can't wait to get into it on Thursday night.''
Carrazzo conceded he was disappointed to be overlooked for the Carlton captaincy in favour of Marc Murphy.
"For sure, and I know Kade (Simpson) was as well,'' Carrazzo said.
"Now we look forward to becoming a tight unit and I think you look at all the good teams in the past, especially really successful ones, they've had a group of five or six leaders who really feed off of each other, who really support each other.
"You're not going to be able to be best on ground every week, you're not going to be able to be up and about every week so it's important that we support each other and give each other the necessary backing.
"All five of us in the leadership group put our hands up for it, from a personal point of view it's an amazing honour to be named vice captain.
"I know it sounds corny, but I barracked for Carlton my whole life, started as rookie so it's a bit surreal being named vice captain.''
Carrazzo said he could "possibly'' do a tagging role on Trent Cotchin on Thursday night.

Battling the Holiday Bulge by Pattie Martin
I love the holidays! The lights are beautiful and almost everyone seems to be in a pretty good mood. But what I love most about this time of year is the food. I have a serious sweet tooth. Chocolate is my weakness, but I can't think of much I'll say no to if it's offered to me.
It's that inability to turn down sweet, high calorie food that's gotten me on my newest exercise kick. I'm now doing the "Couch to 5K" challenge. I don't have any plans right now to run in a 5K, even when I'm done training. However, if nothing else, this might keep a few of those "holiday pounds" off my hips.
I have run in the past. I've even taken on the Virginia 10 Miler. I won't tell you my time, but I did finish the race. So now I'm starting from zero, which is really how this program is geared. It's a three day a week plan. You start the first week with a brisk 5 minute walk then you run for 60 seconds and walk for 90. You do this until you've hit 20 minutes, and you're done! You do this three times in one week, then take a couple of days off.
The next week you kick it up a little...5 minute walk, run 90 seconds, walk 2 minutes.
The requirements get a little tougher every week until you've hit 9 weeks. That last week, in theory, you are easily able to run 3 miles.
I'm doing this with our morning producer Kara. Yes, she is a little younger than me(ok, A LOT younger,) but we seem to be a pretty good match. We both love and hate the whole thing. The feeling we have when we're done is great, but it's the running (and the cold) we're not enjoying. Our question is, When does that 'runner's high' kick in? At what point are we going to actually look forward to getting out and hitting the pavement?" I don't see it in the near future, but maybe it will surprise us one day. For now, we'll keep plugging along.
Happy Holidays to you all and my best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2012!!

Can Tampa infomercial king Anthony Sullivan continue Discovery Channel's Pitchmen without buddy Billy Mays?
He resists the idea -- partly because he is super sensitive about appearances on this issue, and partially because he still cares a lot about his old friend and rival.
But if Tampa infomercial king Anthony "Sully" Sullivan can successfully reboot discovery Channel's Pitchmen series tonight -- after the death of the show's biggest star, his friend and partner Billy Mays -- then the final transition may be complete.
Sullivan will, in a sense, have become the next Billy Mays.
Ask him about this, as I did during a brief video shoot for Pitchmen's second season in Sherman Oaks, Calif. a few weeks ago, and he will insist the "new Billy Mays" tag is an idea conjured mostly by media types like me -- looking for a convenient headline to draw in more readers and mouse clicks.
"The 'next Billy Mays' thing wore on me and wore on his family," he told me for a Floridian story that ran Sunday on Pitchmen's new season. "There's no replacing Billy Mays, and anyone who says that is reaching for a headline. I wanted to get away from that."
He's not wrong about the media end of this. But just like nature, the "direct response" TV selling game abhors a vacuum. And so Sullivan, who produced Mays' spots for years and has his own, urgently persuasive on camera pitching style, has picked up many pieces of Mays' empire -- including representing Mighty Brands products such as Mighty Putyy and Mighty Tape, along with OxyClean and Arm & Hammer.
Now his biggest task at hand is reinventing Pitchmen, a series which cruised to relative success on Discovery thanks to Mays cult hero status and the playful frinction between Mays and Sullivan. Decked out in trademark bluwe shirt and khaki pants, Mays became a symbol of infomercials' relentless pitching and growing pop culture profile.
Sullivan tackled that task by focusing more on the inventors and business people who create the products he and other pitchmen sell. There has always been a need in the infomercial world for new products, but Pitchmen created a high-profile platform to recruit new inventors and businesspeople -- a dynamic Sullivan has focused on even more in the show's second season.
He's also got a lot of local flavor on the show, from featuring a kid inventor from Pasco County to filming auditions of inventors at The Ritz nightclub in Ybor City last year and lighting himself on fire to demostrate a product while the Clearwater Fire Department looked on.
It's a growing trend, locally and nationally: Kevin Harrington, a co-star on ABC's Shark Tank, enlisted former WFLA-Ch. 8 anchor Gayle Guyardo to develop his Inventors Business Center in Clearwater. And Forbes Riley, a TV actor turned pitchwoman who sells her SpinGym exerciser on HSN, hopes to open a studio in St. Petersburg to make infomercials.
With Pitchmen's premiere tonight, we'll see if Sullivan and Discovery Channel can keep the trend going without the industry's biggest figure.
Here's a clip from tonight's episode, which debuts at 9 tonight on Discovery, and a sample of the stunt where he lights himself on fire:
