Kimberly Wyatt has reached out to her former Pussycat Dolls band mate Nicole Scherzinger several times in a bid to rebuild their friendship but has been snubbed on each occasion.
The group was dogged by rumors of infighting and jealousy towards front woman Scherzinger, and Wyatt quit the line-up in early 2010.
Scherzinger left the band later that year to pursue her solo career, and Wyatt claims she has since attempted to patch up their relationship but to no avail.
She tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I have not spoken to or seen Nicole in quite some time … and that's not through lack of trying. I've made enough first moves now, I feel the ball is in her court.
"I just hope that Nicole is actually happy as a person. Our dealings together weren't always easy – it wasn't an easy situation to be in, in the Pussycat Dolls, period. But I have a lot of love for Nicole and if she offered (an olive branch) I would accept it with open arms.
"I have a lot of understanding but, at the same time, I wish we could get past that and just move on. I mean, jeez, let's grow up and enjoy our lives."

Between v2.0.9 and 2.5 series, only dcraw was updated. The v2.0.9 was already using the camera sensor to be able to get the orientation, so the real difference is reduced to dcraw.
BTW: to confirm that, you could try to use the latest XNView on the same images set. If you got the same behavior ( one wrong image ), it is quite for sure dcraw.

I could not find "CameraOrientation" in the standard whole "ExifTool" extracted list by only executing a shell in the Terminal of the Mac... I might thus have to learn how to use it better to get the most of it.

<Flyers are posted all around Alliance towns, and have even made their way into some Horde settlements. They are written in a neat, tidy script; all are adorned with the twin golden lions of the Twilight Empire in the corners.>
To the Twilight Empire's grand tournament!
On November 21, the Twilight Empire will be hosting a grand tournament in celebration of our eighth anniversary!
Join the lists and compete for the favor of fair maidens in the joust as well as 5,000 gold in prize!
Prove your strength and emerge as the champion of the melee—then use your 2,500 gold prize to get some new armor!
Not able to handle a giant wooden pole ramming into your chest? Not much of the fighting sort? Bet your last gold coin on who will triumph!
Try your luck with raffles for splendid prizes to be given throughout the night!
All are welcome at the grand tournament, Saturday, November 21, at 7:00 at the Argent Tournament Grounds!
Registration for competitions will begin at 6:30, with the first competition, the joust, at 7:30!
(( Hello all! As stated, on Saturday, November 21, the Twilight Empire is celebrating its 8th anniversary! We've decided we can think of no better way to celebrate eight years of promoting peace and cooperation between the factions then by having a tournament!
There will be two main events of the night: the joust and the melee. The joust will begin at 7:30 and will pair off opponents, with the winner of one round of jousting advancing onwards until we are left with four contestants. Our four remaining contestants will be paired off and face each other in best-of-three series, with the winners of those competing one more time in a best-of-three series to decide the winner of our 5,000 gold prize—and maybe the favor of a fair maiden.
The melee will be a dueling tournament (sadly we cannot all fight at once). The melee will begin 15 minutes after the joust has ended. Contestants in the joust may also compete in the brawl. Contestants will be paired off and compete in a single duel, with the winner advancing until one person is crowned our champion. NO HEALING OR TANKING SPECS ARE ALLOWED FOR THE TOURNAMENT (Gladiator warriors are permitted). Duels will be fought using arena rules.
Everyone is, of course, encouraged to bet on these jousts and duels!
We will also hold four raffles throughout the night. The first three the winner will be allowed to pick their prize from an Elekk Plushie or a set of Hexweave Bags. The final raffle, to be held at the close of the night, will be for the services of the artisans of Twilight Empire. Previous winners may enter this raffle, and the winner will receive a Stage 4 crafted item of their choosing.
In closing:
What: Twilight Empire Grand Tournament
When: November 21 at 7:00 PM
Where: Argent Tournament Grounds, Argent Valiant's Ring ))

Blake Shelton Dedicates Wins to Dad at 2011 American Country Awards
Blake Shelton was a multiple award winner during the 2011 American Country Awards, live from Las Vegas. Shelton's video for 'Who Are You When I'm Not Looking' locked in the win for both Music Video of the Year and Music Video of the Year by a Male Artist.
"I want to say thanks to Trey Fanjoy who made that video," Shelton said from the stage as he held his first guitar trophy from the ACAs. "Honestly, I'm not going to spend a bunch of time up here thanking a list of people because I know why I got this award tonight, and it's because of all you people," he said as he pointed to the fans filling the room. "I can't say thank you enough to country music fans. Thank y'all for voting for this."
Shelton, who appeared to be more serious than usual, did work one more thank you into his speech, which helped fans understand his solemn tone.
"I want to say hi to my dad back home … he's been having a pretty rough couple of weeks, and I know he's watching tonight," Shelton said as he locked his eyes into the camera and held his guitar tight in his hands. "I love you, Dad, and I dedicate this to you, man. Thank you."

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Issues its 8 Millionth Patent
Today the USPTO issued its 8 millionth patent to Second Sight Medical Products, Inc., a California-based company founded in 1998, for a visual prosthesis apparatus that enhances visual perception for people who have gone blind due to outer retinal degeneration. The invention uses electrical stimulation of the retina to produce the visual perception of patterns of light. The now patented Argus® II is currently in U.S. clinical trials and has received marketing approval in Europe.
It took 75 years to get to patent 1 million in August 1911, yet just six years to get from patent 7 million to today's 8 millionth patent.
"This kind of innovation is a driver of our nation's economic growth and job creation," said Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO David Kappos. "The USPTO plays a major role in serving America's innovators by granting the intellectual property rights they need to secure investment capital, build companies and bring their products and services to the global marketplace."
The signing and presentation of the 8 millionth patent by Director Kappos will take place at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on Sept. 8, 2011.

Angela Burdett-Coutts, 1st Baroness Burdett-Coutts
Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts, 1st Baroness Burdett-Coutts (21 April 1814 – 30 December 1906), born Angela Georgina Burdett, was a nineteenth-century philanthropist, the daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, 5th Baronet and Sophia, formerly Coutts, daughter of banker Thomas Coutts. In 1837 she became one of the wealthiest women in England when she inherited her grandfather's fortune of around £1.8 million (equivalent to £160,000,000 in 2018) following the death of her stepgrandmother, Harriot Mellon. She joined the surnames of her father and grandfather, by royal licence, to become Burdett-Coutts. Edward VII is reported to have described her as, "[a]fter my mother, the most remarkable woman in the kingdom."[1]
Burdett-Coutts was widely known as "the richest heiress in England".[2] She was a great collector of paintings, including many Old Masters. Amongst the contemporary paintings she purchased was Robert Scott Lauder's Christ Walking on the Sea.[3] The Reverend Richard Harris Barham, in a ballad (part of the Ingoldsby Legends) he wrote under the pen name "Thomas Ingoldsby" for Queen Victoria's coronation, referred to her as "Miss Anja-ly Coutts". She became a notable subject of public curiosity, receiving numerous offers of marriage.[2] She inherited the country house at Holly Lodge Estate in Highgate, which was then just outside London, where she was famous for holding receptions.[citation needed]
Burdett-Coutts spent part of each year at Ehrenberg Hall in Torquay with her former governess and later companion Hannah Brown, to whom she was devoted. When Brown died in 1878, Burdett-Coutts wrote to a friend that she was utterly crushed by the loss of "my poor darling, the companion and sunshine of my life for 52 years".[4] She was a great friend of both Charles Dickens and the Duke of Wellington, and she proposed marriage to the Duke despite the great disparity in their ages.[1]
Three years later, when she was 67, she shocked polite society by marrying her 29-year-old secretary, the American-born William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett, who became MP for Westminster on 12 February 1881. Her new husband changed his surname to Burdett-Coutts. Because of her husband's American birth a clause in her stepgrandmother's will forbidding her heir to marry a foreign national was invoked and Burdett-Coutts forfeited three-fifths of her income to her sister.[1]
Burdett-Coutts spent the majority of her wealth on scholarships, endowments, and a wide range of philanthropic causes. One of her earliest philanthropic acts was to co-found (with Charles Dickens) a home for young women who had "turned to a life of immorality", including theft and prostitution. The home was known as Urania Cottage.[1]
She avoided taking sides in partisan politics, but was actively interested in improving the condition of indigenous Africans, or the education and relief of the poor or suffering in any part of the world. Though she made no special distinction of creed in her charities, Burdett-Coutts was a notable benefactor of the Church of England, building two churches – including St Stephen's in Rochester Row, Westminster – and endowing church schools.[1] As executor of the will of the Reverend Chauncy Hare Townshend (the author of several volumes of poetry), she, with the Rev. Thomas Helmore (also a poet), used money from Townshend's estate to build a primary school in Westminster, known as Burdett-Coutts & Townshend Foundation Church of England Primary School.[5]
She endowed the bishoprics of Cape Town and Adelaide (1847), and the founding bishopric of British Columbia (1857).[6] The granite Greyfriars Bobby Fountain in Edinburgh, with a bronze statue of Greyfriars Bobby, was erected by Baroness Burdett-Coutts.[7] in 1884, she was a co-founder of the London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which became the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) in 1889; she also founded the Westminster Technical Institute in 1893, and was closely involved with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
Burdett-Coutts founded Columbia Market in 1869, in Bethnal Green in the East End of London, the district where much of her work was carried out. With her project in Columbia Square she became a pioneer in social housing.[1] Through her support of missionary and nursing efforts she was associated with Louisa Twining and Florence Nightingale. Her small housing development, Holly Village, on the corner of what was then her estate, is now in private hands and may still be seen in Highgate.[8] She was also the president of the British Goat Society.

On 18 July 1872 she became the first woman to be presented with the Freedom of the City of London at the Guildhall, and in 1874 she became Edinburgh's first woman Freeman and was also presented with the Freedom of that city.[1]
Lady Burdett-Coutts died of acute bronchitis at her home on Stratton Street, Piccadilly. By the time of her death she had given more than £3 million to good causes. Nearly 30,000 people filed past her coffin before she was buried on 5 January 1907 near the West Door in the nave of Westminster Abbey.[14] She left no issue and the barony became extinct on her death.[1]
A portrait of her is included in the mural of heroic women by Walter P. Starmer unveiled in 1921 in the church of St Jude-on-the-Hill in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London.
Charles Dickens dedicated his novel Martin Chuzzlewit to her and she had many royal and eminent friends.[1] The book Flashman's Lady by George MacDonald Fraser makes reference to her (fictional) love for James Brooke (The White Rajah), and his rejection of her due to his physical affliction. Angela Burdett-Coutts also features in Terry Pratchett's novel Dodger; in an afterword, he states that part of his reason for writing the book was to bring Burdett-Coutts to the attention of modern readers.

Water jetting and water blasting equipment is used to direct high pressure streams of water against a surface to clean or cut the material. The steams of water released by water jetting and water blasting equipment can exceed 10,000 psi. Water jetting and water blasting equipment is used for cleaning or demolition of products made of metal, wood, concrete, stone, plastic, glass or other building materials.
Specific components within a water jetting or water blasting equipment system include abrasive injectors, pressure generators, blast cabinets or booths, water guns, and water tanks. Plunger-type intensifier pumps are commonly used to generate high pressure water for water jet cutting, wet or water abrasive blasting and non-abrasive pressure washing or rinsing. Crankshaft driven plunger pumps are also used for pressure generation. Usually crankshaft driven plunger pumps may be more efficient in electrical energy costs compared to intensifiers, but at high pressures (>20,00 psi, 137 bar) seals must be periodically replaced. Crankshaft driven plunger pumps also provide a virtually ripple free pressure source in comparison to intensifiers. An accumulator may be required to smooth out pressure fluctuations if an intensifier pump is used. In air based blast or jet systems, air compressors are typically used to generate pressure which add heavy running cost.
Water guns or lances are the apparatus within water jetting and water blasting equipment that directs the stream of water through a nozzle and at the appropriate region of the work piece.
The water tank or hopper is used for storage of water, cleaning agents, blasting media or abrasive-water slurry mixtures.

Oil Recovered from WWII Shipwreck
Operations to recover oil from a World War II-era shipwreck are nearing completion after commencing on May 11, 2019 off the coast of Long Island, N.Y., the U.S. Coast Guard said on Thursday.The sunken vessel, Coimbra, was a supply ship owned by Great Britain that was torpedoed by a German U-boat off the coast of Long Island during World War II. Initial dive operations in May 2019 confirmed the tanker was leaking small amounts of oil, the Coast Guard discovered.A unified command consisting of the Coast Guard and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation oversaw the response supported by more than 100 government, industry and environmental specialists.
Interview: Douglas Prothero, CEO, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
As privately owned, luxury yachts near the size of the average cruise ship, behold a new option, which is anything but commonplace: The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. At 624 feet and 11 decks, her exterior profile resembles a sleek superyacht design, not a cruise ship on the horizon. Launched in October 2018 at Hijos de J. Barreras Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, the flagship of the new brand is now in outfitting and interior finishing. The project was co-managed by The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Marriott and Tillberg Design of Sweden.

U.S. Unsure About Details of Tanker Towed to Iran
U.S. officials say they are unsure whether an oil tanker towed into Iranian waters was seized by Iran or rescued after facing mechanical faults as Tehran asserts, creating a mystery at sea at a time of high tension in the Gulf.The MT Riah disappeared from ship tracking maps when its transponder was switched off in the Strait of Hormuz on July 14. Its last position was off the coast of the Iranian island of Qeshm in the strait.Iran says it towed a vessel into its waters from the strait after the ship issued a distress call. Although Tehran did not name the vessel, the Riah is the only ship whose recorded movements appear likely to match that description.A U.S.

As Fidel takes another 5 wicket haul I can't help but think of Flintoff who I remember didn't take that much 5fers
We all know Flintoff was better to watch bowl...but the record would suggest Fidel is actually the more useful bowler to win matches... which is amazing.. The one who just by watching is easily the best is actually inferior in the long run.
Fidel Edwards | West Indies Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo
Andrew Flintoff | Cricket Players and Officials | ESPN Cricinfo
Fidel is a match winner, the number of 5 wicket hauls already and his way better strike rate is what puts him above flintoff . I can't believe I am typing this too but logically I am right.

Tips for Identity Theft Prevention
What should I shred?
All paper containing personal information.
"Dumpster Diving" is a popular pastime of identity thieves as it presents so many opportunities to find information that can be worth a lot of money. Shred all paperwork that has an account number (bank statements, credit card statements & receipts, utility bills), a signature, your social security number or medical or legal information - as well as any pre approved credit offers. These provide an identity thief the perfect opportunity to open a new account in your name without your ever having to know - until the debt collectors come knocking!

Ruggedized stainless steel monitor
The Industrial Automation Group of Advantech introduces a new 15" flat panel industrial monitor designed for the harshest environments, the FPM-8151H. The FPM-8151H is a Class 1, Division 2 certified monitor, meaning that it won't cause explosions if gases, vapors and/or liquids are present making this monitor ideal for the oil and gas industries.
With its NEMA4/IP65 protection and a 2.8mm thick resistive glass panel, the FPM-8151H reportedly resists dust, water, and oil from entering the monitor and can be used in temperatures ranging from -20~60⁰C. Ruggedization is complete with the inclusion of a 316L stainless steel front panel which, as well as making it hardwearing, is suitable for use in food, beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical environments.
To increase functionality, the monitor has dual function support, meaning that users can choose to control the system using either a USB or RS-232 connected controller; power it by using either a Phoenix or a DC jack; and the display can be connected via either VGA or HDMI ports.
For added reliability and lower power consumption, the FPM-8151H reportedly uses a 5-wire and a LED backlit screen. The LED screen reduces power consumption by 22% whilst increasing brightness by 12%.

Yep. My two sons really, really love LEGO. And I figured that if I'm going to build them something, it should be a LEGO table.
Building stuff is kind of hard in Japan, because most people that live in cities live in apartment buildings. That means, they don't have a garage per se, and need to build things on their balcony.
I have plenty of space to build, so that's not the issue for me. But rather, I don't have all the tools at hand—just very basic ones. I was also surprised when I went to the hardware store (above) at how expensive wood is! Well, compared to stuff at IKEA.
In a rather disappointing turn of events, I might just end up getting a cheap IKEA table and gluing some baseplates to it. Nothing exactly "building a LEGO table"...
If any readers have built a LEGO table, tips and advice would be appreciated!

Principal's Message
Principal's Message
Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year! It is my privilege and honor to serve as Principal at Los Molinos Elementary School. I come to Hacienda La Puente Unified School District with a broad base of knowledge working in the field of education for over twenty years. My experience includes serving as a teacher in grades Kindergarten to 6th, resource teacher at a middle school, and elementary school principal. My passion is working with students to ensure that they all have a high quality education and maintain a love for school.
I'm excited about all the great things we have in store for the year. With our growing student population, we have added a second Transitional Kindergarten class. Additionally, we will continue with our fabulous piano keyboarding class- providing free piano keyboarding lessons for our students in select grades. It is with great pleasure to highlight that our school's statewide CAASPP assessment results continue to soar as we strive to provide a "World Class" education for all our students. It is evident that at Los Molinos we are committed to aligning lessons to Common Core Standards, the 4 Cs (Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking), and 21st century learning. Our high quality, excellence in education is evidenced by our National Blue Ribbon, California Gold Ribbon, and Distinguished School status. My vision is for our school to continue to pave the way to excellence to equip students with tools for a bright future.
Everything is possible with a Professional Learning Community, which includes everyone such as our dedicated teachers, caring staff, and our amazing parents. I encourage Parent Partnerships in assisting students in the classroom, meeting attendance, conferences, family events, PTA functions, and at home. We have a strong PTA which is the foundation for our many Programs and Activities such as our Fall Festival, Holiday Extravaganza, Book Fairs, Father-Son, Mother-Daughter events and much more. This type of involvement and collaboration is what makes Los Molinos special, and we are lucky to have such great people!
I look forward to getting to know all of you and your families this year. My door is always open and I welcome your comments, suggestions, and compliments.
Go Wildcats!
-Mrs. Erika Valenzuela, Principal

Below is a family recipe that we made every year while I was growing up. We have perfected it over the years. It actually started out as a mistake. My mom was working from a recipe she found in a magazine article, and accidentally turned the oven on to the wrong temperature (250º instead of 350º). She kept checking on it and it just didn't look done yet. Finally, after two hours, she pulled it out of the oven – and it came out even better than the original recipe. So we adopted that change and now we have ooey, gooey, caramelized German Chocolate Cookie Bars every year. They are so simple to make and I am often asked for the recipe. It's one of the easiest, tastiest recipes you'll ever make. You don't even need measuring cups, so if you think you are baking incompetent, give this one a shot!
German Chocolate Cookie Bars
Prep time: 15 min (5 active); bake time: 2 hrs
Shopping list:
- Butter (you'll need 1 stick)
- 1 Chocolate cake mix, your choice
- 1 bag chocolate chips, semi-sweet or dark chocolate
- 1 bag mini marshmallows
- 1 bag dried, flaked coconut
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- Parchment paper
Turn your oven to 250º (F).
Line a 13×9 pan with parchment paper. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. You will want it to be wide enough and long enough to cover the sides of the pan, as well. To help it lay flat, you can fold down the edges. Pop them back up and place a stick of butter in the pan. Toss this into the oven and the butter can melt while the oven warms up and you grab your other ingredients. Because the oven is at a low temperature, it will take about 10 minutes or so for the butter to melt (I got all the rest of the ingredients out, took my 3-year-old to the potty, changed the laundry, and blew some raspberries with the baby. This recipe is a great multi-tasker).
Once the butter has melted, pull the pan out of the oven (be sure to use oven mitts!) and place it on a heat-safe surface. Tip the pan in every direction to make sure the butter has covered the entire bottom. Set it down and grab the cake mix.
Drop cake mix over the top of the butter. Press the cake mix down with a plastic spatula, making it level. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Next, put a layer of chocolate chips on top. I used an entire 10 oz bag of dark chocolate chips; if you're not a huge fan of chocolate, use less. Try to spread them evenly, but again, it need not be perfect.
The next layer is marshmallows. About half of a bag will do it.
Next, add a layer of coconut, to your taste. A cup or so will do; add more if you really love coconut.
Open your can of condensed milk and pour it over the top, as evenly as you can.
Put the pan in the oven, set your timer for two hours and walk away! Now's a great time to work on some of those no-bake recipes you've been meaning to get around to. You might try Rum Balls or Chunky Peppermint Bark.
When your timer goes off, check to see if the top is nicely browned and caramelized. If it's not, leave it in a bit longer. If it is, pull it out and set it out to cool for a couple of hours.
When it's cooled, toss it in the freezer. This sounds crazy, but this will make it easier to cut. I've left it overnight before, so it's okay if you forget about it for a while.
Remove from freezer. Remove from the pan by lifting up the parchment. Peel off parchment and place on a cutting board. Let thaw for about 20 minutes. Cut into small squares (1 in or so – they're very rich, so smaller is better) with a very sharp knife. Store on layers of parchment in a tin in the refrigerator. They'll keep for a good while, but I' m not sure how long because they don't last in my house!

Emergency Medical Services
Program Overview
The EMS Academy admits students through an application process. Prospective candidates are evaluated on the basis of their college, fire and/or EMS experience and training. The top applicants who successfully pass a criminal background check are offered enrollment in the class.
The application deadline for the Fall 2019 applications is May 22 at 4 p.m.
Allan Hancock College offers a comprehensive Emergency Medical Services (EMS) degree and training program designed for both pre-service students and those currently employed within the public safety arena. The (EMS) program offers a wide spectrum of both semester length and short-term pre-hospital emergency medical training courses that range from academy format Emergency Medical Technician training, lifeguard certification, to citizen responder level first aid and CPR courses.
At the crux of the EMS program are the EMS Academy 1A (EMT) and EMS Academy 1B (Advanced) academies. The advanced EMS academy was the first of its kind in the nation and offers training in patient handling and moving, hands-on scenarios and emergency vehicle driving and operations. The A.S. degree has a wide variety of offerings to meet the needs of both private and public EMS agencies (proof of program certification).
The associate degree program in EMS at Allan Hancock College consists of a balance of offered courses that prepare the student in the many aspects of entry-level job duties and responsibilities required by an EMS worker within fire and ambulance services, aquatic facilities, and various non-traditional EMS roles such as working within a clinical setting or providing medical coverage for large scale public events. In addition to entry-level training courses, the college offers a number of EMS related re-certification courses required to maintain current employment.
Why Choose Allan Hancock College?
In addition to the traditional classroom learning environment, Allan Hancock College boasts the ability to train students in one of the only community college EMS simulation labs to be found in the state. This high-tech lab offers simulation manikins and an ambulance simulator that allows students to experience and practice treatment of a patient while in a moving ambulance. Allan Hancock College's EMS academy was the first ever offered in the state of California.
Refer to the Student Resources page for more information on academy costs and application process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the program take and what are the costs to complete it? It takes one semester (16 weeks) and costs approximately $500-$600 (depending if the student already possesses some of the uniform or equipment). This cost is inclusive of books, units, equipment, uniforms, etc.
What is the programs reputation and what help does it offer with finding a job when you've completed? The program's reputation is excellent, primarily because of the extensive hands-on training (50%) that students receive at AHC when compared with other regional programs. Another distinguishing feature of the EMS program at Allan Hancock College is the academy format students are trained in, which very similar to a disciplined fire or police academy. The AHC emergency medical services program is of the highest caliber due to the college's investment in high tech simulation equipment (e.g. our $64,000 simulation manikin) for manipulative training. Graduates who go to where the work is available have a very good success ratio of being hired.
What steps should I take in regards to schooling and how can the AHC program help? The 8-hour CPR for healthcare (EMS 306) and 8-hour EMS 300 (Intro to EMS) courses are prerequisites for the EMS academy. These classes are offered in each semester prior to the beginning of the academy. Application deadlines are posted on our website and it is strongly recommended that you turn in your application as soon as enrollment is open because the class fills very quickly. Our EMT training is highly respected by the staff and selection committee for the AHC fire academy and also counts as elective units towards an associate degree in fire technology .
What can I do to prepare physically for the EMS Academy? EMTs at all levels of training should have good physical skills: strength, dexterity, agility, good physical coordination, and good vision (including accurate color vision). They should also be emotionally stable and able cope with stressful situations that require quick thinking and action.

25 Songs, 25 DaysDecember 2, 2012
So. Looks like there's a blog/Tumblr/Plurk/interwebz challenge going around: 25 Songs, 25 Days. It's a simple challenge about music. Sometimes it's as basic as what you're listening to at the moment, some are more meaningful and ask for a song and association to a person or event.
I'm not sure why it's come up several times recently, but I've found myself saying things like, "I'm really glad I'm not an audiophile" or "I'm glad I'm not a music snob" or "I don't really listen to music that much." The first two are definitely true, the third turns out to be less true than I thought.
I am not an audiophile. I don't need to adjust my car's audio system for different types of music, I don't need my music downloads to be of a certain quality. I'm happy if I can understand the lyrics and the speakers aren't blown out.
I am not a music snob. If I like it, I like it. I don't need it to be new or old or unknown or popular or of a certain genre. I don't need it to be anything. I need it to make my ears happy, and even better, I need it to touch me. So when you listen to music with me, you're going to hear Carly Rae Jepsen and Andrew Lloyd Weber and Volbeat and The Civil Wars and Lady Gaga and The Infamous Stringdusters and god knows what else. AND YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT. No, not that last part, not really. I don't care if you don't like it. I like it.
I don't listen to music that much. That one… is less true. Honestly, I have nothing playing in my house right now, the only things I hear are my typing and the dog snuffling around in her bed. I often drive all the way to work in the morning without turning the radio on. But while I don't listen to it as often as some people do, it's still important to me. It's still an important element of my life.
All of that came together in my head when I thought about doing this challenge. Originally, I said, "Nahhhh, I'm not into music enough to do that," but I really do have a soundtrack that plays when my life flashes before my eyes. I have songs that are linked with time frames, with places, with people, with events. I have songs that I rely on to bring me up, to cradle me when I'm down, to give me release when I need it. Music is a part of my life, even when it doesn't get acknowledged that much.
But, today, and for the next 24 days, we're going to acknowledge it.
Day 1: A song from your childhood.
For this song I'm choosing Mike and the Mechanics' In the Living Years. I can remember being out in my father's garage with my sister, pretending that we were little baby greasemonkeys right along with him. I can remember our lofty attempts at helping him by fetching wrenches and rags often evolved into drawing summer landscapes with chalk on the concrete floor. I can remember the incessant teasing and the fighting that my sister and I used to do. I can remember my millwright father, looking like a dark-haired version of Harley Davidson Santa, a man who should be listening to Charlie Daniels or Steppenwolf, listening to smooth jazz instead. I can remember that in between Boney James and Andreas Vollenweider, a few "popular" songs would play on his favorite radio station. One of the songs was In the Living Years. I can remember that, on occasion, he would tell my sister and me to listen to that song and realize that we would be devastated if anything ever happened to the other. This little life lesson, this emotional tidbit from a very stoic man has stuck with me for my whole life. So maybe not a very childlike one, but this is a song that makes me think of my childhood.
(It also will reappear on day three, so I apologize for the repeat in advance.)

One Flame Thrower Upper and Fuel Tanks
To use this product you will also need to purchase Regiments Specialist Weapon Arms, which are sold separately.
The various specialist weapons including this one, can be glued permanently onto the arms, or can be attached with Blu-Tack or 1mm magnets (using the pre drilled holes) to allow you to swap out weapons between games.
Assembly guidance : The Power Plant/Rear section of each Specialist weapon is designed to fit on to all Regiments torsos, however because they are all slightly different, you may find during dry fitting that you need to shave small amounts of resin from the torso to get the Specialist weapon Arms/Backpack to fit on well and keep gaps to a minimum. The "Heavy Armour" torso in particular is almost certain to need a bit of work, as its quite bulky.
This Regiments product is not a toy, and is not intended for under 14's.
Regiments products are supplied unpainted, and will require some preparation and assembly with super glue. We recommend you carefully read the available Assembly Guide.
Flame Thrower Upper + Fuel Tanks (1)

Nobel Laureate Adam Riess will deliver the Kaufmanis Public Lecture on April 21, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the McNamara Alumni Center. Riess will speak on the topic of "Supernovae Reveal an Accelerating Universe."
Riess, who is a Professor at John Hopkins University and a member of the Space Telescope Science Institute won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011 for discovering that expansion rate of the Universe is accelerating, implying in the simplest interpretation, that the energy density is non-vanishing, even in the absence of any matter and radiation.
The Kaufmanis Lecture is presented in memory of beloved Professor of Astronomy Karlis Kaufmanis, bringing distinguished scientists to the campus to provide public lectures on the latest hot topics in research.

I doubt that FC is expecting peak traffic during either rush hour times through the week. The majority of the business will likely occur on the weekends, when commuters aren't even in the city. Do you really envision 1000's of cars backed up across every bridge leading to Station Square?
Traffic will be bad at times, but its not going to be the 405 in california or the DC beltway.
I live on the SouthSide so trust me it will be bad.

Amount to spend is $1,000$250.00 – Omega 8006 Augur Juicer (for butters, leafy greens, etc) $500.00 – Dyson DC25 Upright Vacuum $120.00 – Henckels Flatware x 2 ($60 each set) $80.00 – KitchenAid 12-Cup Coffee Maker $50.00 – Dinnerware x 2 ($25 each set) …
∴ I had a little trouble imagining how to spend $1,000, because having that available as extra is almost absurd. However, after careful consideration, I was able to come up with a few things I could stand to replace.
A slow juicer for making nut/soy butters and juicing leafy greens.
Our current Coffee Maker doesn't always brew the last 1½-2 cups of water. It just refuses.
We've had our current Dyson for over 6 years. I'd replace it with an upgrade for sure!
I'm in love with this flatware.
Gotta have matching dishes, too!

Windbreaks shelter livestock
Established tree windbreaks sheltering beef and dairy cattle operations can lower feed costs, prevent weight loss, and help maintain milk production during the winter months.
Bob Atchison of the Kansas Forest Service said additional feed is needed to maintain body temperatures, but a windbreak can help remedy the problem.
"A 25-mile-an-hour wind at zero degrees Fahrenheit creates a wind chill of 44 degrees below zero," he said. "By contrast, a properly designed windbreak will reduce the same wind chill to 15 degrees below zero."
Atchison cited Canadian research that found that cattle on winter range, in unprotected sites, required a 50 percent increase in feed for normal activities.
"A properly designed windbreak will reduce these needs by half," he said.
Windbreaks enable cattle to gain and maintain weight better as well. Montana studies indicated that during mild winters, beef cattle sheltered by windbreaks gained an average of 34 or 35 pounds more than cattle in an open feedlot. During severe winters, cattle in feedlots protected from the wind maintained 10.6 more pounds than cattle in unprotected lots.
The Kansas Forest Service is accepting tree orders from producers interested in establishing livestock windbreaks. Foresters also can assist in planning a tree planting.

After Bears receiver Brandon Marshall scored a touchdown on Sunday against the Packers, a fan at Soldier Field came away with a souvenir. And Marshall got a fine.
Marshall threw the ball into the stands after scoring, which is against NFL rules. And the NFL has confirmed to PFT that the league fined Marshall $5,250 for his action.
The rationale from the league office is that a player throwing the ball into the stands creates the potential for crowd control problems: If fans are jostling for the ball, someone could get hurt.
Players are allowed to hand the ball to fans in the first or second row, but throwing the ball into the stands costs them. And it cost Marshall this week.
