back from the Barcelona minidebconf
I'm back home from the
MiniDebConf Barcelona 2014
(and I've had a full night of uninterrupted sleep! :) ), so it's time to thank everybody who were there (both in person and via IRC) and especially the organizers who did a great job at creating a welcoming environment and a smooth experience for all of us.
It was my first @
community experience (although I had already met a few of the members in various occasions) and it made me glad of my decision to start contributing to the project. (I realize that I've probably met a sanitized and newbie-friendlier version of the community, but it's also made up of people who are working to improve the not-so-friendly parts.)
It was also my first time speaking to an international audience; I believe it went overall well: I'm happy with what I said and how, not so much with what I forgot to say (e.g. mentioning testing and other non-packaging skills in my answer to Enrico's question "what skills are needed in the
3dprinter team
", or actually showing the last slide with reference urls — at least this one will be available as soon as I'll send the slides to be uploaded to the site).
Random mentions:
We had free software, and also free beer, from one of the sponsors (I didn't catch which one), but the venue had to remain beer free, which encourages bad puns of the kind I love :)
Contrary to what some people was fearing, the cake was real and not a lie! (also, it tasted like banana bread with chestnut flour).
Video team duty is fun and something I'll do again (and try to use in our local community what I learn in the process), but I don't think I'll let the Galadriel in my mind bully me into subtitling stuff, sorry.
To ease worries of package mistreatment, the cows in the arriero slides looked more like they were moving between pastures in
rather than being led to be slaughtered.
There are
in Béziers, France (and also bad coffee and
great pastries
: definitely a better place_with_geek_name to have breakfast than Perl, Germany)!
The stickers with "May I sign your PGP keys" were a nice idea, although they didn't work as well as they could (possibly because there was little time and lots of things to do). I did manage to reduce my dependency on Enrico's key to find trustpaths, however, which is nice :)
I like the idea to draw a pentacle on the floor, and forcing speakers to remain inside, as suggested by a meeting of videoteaming italian cabal members.
Lots of other things I'm forgetting to mention, but now it's time to stop writing this and start work on my todolist where a few things received a priority bump during the conf. :)
46.8% english, 31.4% pidgin, 23.9% german

Skill Level Intermediate
In the previous movie, we talked about how we could either use the Pen tool in order to create a path or how we could use Quick Select in order to select the glass area of this vintage TV. What we need to do next is we need to activate this area as a selection. Now, for using the Quick Select tool, we could simply make that quick selection, or if we were working with paths, in order to be able to save that, what we can do is simply choose one of the paths, and then hold down Command on a Mac, Ctrl on Windows, and click on it. This will activate it as a selection.
The next thing we want to do is go to our Layers panel and click in the annika layer, turn on the visibility of course, and then click on the Add Layer Mask icon. What this will do is create a layer mask based on that selection. Now, the problem with this, of course, is the image is in the wrong position. So, in order to reposition this, we need to unlink the image in the mask, then we need to target the image thumbnail here. So, we click in that. You'll see the little brackets show up around this.
If you remember, there are two great shortcuts to move between your image and your mask. On a Mac, it's Command+Backslash to go to the mask, and Command+2 to go to the image. You can see it's toggling back and forth between those by way of a shortcut. On Windows, that's Ctrl+Backslash or Ctrl+2. Now, if you don't like shortcuts, no big deal. Simply click in the image thumbnail. Next, with your Move tool, click-and- drag the photograph to reposition it in the correct spot there. All right, well, I think that's pretty good.
Next thing that I want to do is I want to make this look a little bit more realistic, because it looks like it's pasted onto this area. Well, there are a couple of things that we could do. One, let's go back to our mask, so here we'll click on that mask. You could start to soften the edges a bit. So, let's do that by going to Mask Edge. Now, in this dialog, we can do a few things in regards to this edge. It had a little bit of some rough angles there, so I'm going to go ahead and smooth that out. I can add a bit of Feather, and I can also decrease the size of this so it's kind of falling inside of the shadow.
You start to see how the outer shadow is almost falling in on this image, so it's looking a little bit more realistic. Let's click on Show Original, just so you can see that before, really harsh edge, and then after, little bit better edge. I'll zoom in a little bit further, so you can see the difference. Here's the before and then the after, making those adjustments. Okay, well, let's click OK in order to apply that. Now, how do we get this to look good in that TV, how do we blend that in? Well, there are few steps we might want to take here.
One that might be helpful to do is to press the V key and then to press Shift+Plus/Minus to scroll through your blending modes. That will go through all of these different blending modes until you find one that looks good. Here I'll press Shift+Plus, and as I do that, we're going to see different options. One of the things I'm seeing here is that I like when that reflection shows up on the image. For situations like this, Overlay or Soft Light are really going to be some good options, but I'll just go through the whole gamut, just pressing Shift+Plus in order to scroll through these, seeing if there are any good blending modes that might work for this.
Going back to that Luminosity one for a second, seeing black and white makes me think, yeah! It might be nice to convert that to black and white. All right, well, let's go back to Overlay or Soft Light, because that's really nice how it fits in the TV. We have a little bit of that reflection on the TV, so it's looking a bit better. Yet, we have a touch of a problem here. One is, is that the image perhaps is in color. I might want to make it black and white, and two is it's not quite strong enough of an image. So, first, let's desaturate this layer.
One way to do that really easily is to click in the image thumbnail or use your shortcut, Command+2 on a Mac, Ctrl+2 on Windows, and then open up Hue/Saturation. You can do that by navigating to Image, choosing Adjustments, and then selecting Hue/Saturation, or of course using the shortcut, Command+U or Ctrl+U. Here, we're going to simply desaturate and see how this looks as we remove the color from this area. It kind of takes on some of the green of the background because of that blending mode and it's looking pretty good.
Let's click OK to apply that, and then zoom out a little bit so that we can evaluate. Now again, I like how the image is starting to appear, but it's a little bit too faint for me. So, here's what you can do to kind of boost that up a bit. You can go ahead and copy this layer by pressing Command+J on a Mac, Ctrl+J on Windows, or click-and-drag this to the New Layer icon. Now, once we do that, it just gives us a little bit more boost, adding that contrast. With this second layer, you want to try Soft Light, you also want to try lowering your opacity a bit, and just see if you can kind of boost up the contrast a little bit there, just adding a bit more definition to the image, so it isn't quite so lost there.
All right, well, I am really liking the way that's looking, except now what I want to do is I want to modify the overall color and tone. I also perhaps want to add a bit of film grain. Well, let's explore how we can take those next steps in the following movie.

The employees humor you.
Damn what a loser!
Remember you said drowning infants is a kindness... Did you tell them that?
<quoted text>I'm in McDonalds using their Wi-Fi to show people in the store how ugly atheists are. I'm specifically showing them YOUR posts. I'm searching all of the threads you have infested and so far the crowd is appalled at how filthy you are as human trash.
Keep posting. We're really getting some great discussions going as to how you will be destroyed in Hell for your weak-willed and gutless deeds as an atheist.
Even the employees are getting in on this.

To the Editor:
Perhaps you sent a lovely card,
Or said a silent prayer.
Perhaps you sent a flower bouquet,
Or shed a private tear.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words,
As any friend could say.
Perhaps you were not here at all,
Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part.
Love eternal from the family of Charlie Wilson

I have a plugin which uses custom post types to create posts.
What I need to do is run an IF statement based on what catories these posts are in. However they are custom post types and use taxomonies to create these categories.
How would I got about finding a custom posts taxomony?
In my phpmyadmin I can easily find each individual taxomony and each post but I cannot see how they link together, otherwise I'd use some SQL to manage this!
Any help would be great. I'm using the latest wp-ecommerce which is creating these custom posts.
Thanks in advance,

An update on how the economy is doing at the mid-year mark is the focus of an Economic Outlook Breakfast being held this morning in Hendersonville.
Eric M. Teal, chief investment officer of the Capital Management Group at First Citizens Bank, is the guest speaker for the event. He is a specialist in investment management and provides oversight of $7 billion in assets for the bank.
An ever evolving marketplace means a second economic outlook is necessary, said Chris Burns, chairman of the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
"Each January, the Chamber and Wachovia present an Economic Outlook Breakfast," Burns said. "With the rapidly changing economic environment, we have partnered with First Citizens to present a mid-year economic update to communicate the latest in economic forecasting for our region."
Teal's report will cover housing and financial markets, the overall economy in addition to some insights about events making financial news in recent days, specifically the bankruptcy of global investment bank Lehman Brothers and the acquisition of Merrell Lynch by Bank of America.
"It's (Lehman Brothers bankruptcy) more traumatic because the government is not going to rescue them like they did Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae," Teal said on Monday. "The more concern is the potential problems with AIG (insurance) because they are not a bank, and they are an insurer of property and investments."
Teal added that while the economy as a whole is not in a recession, certain areas, such as housing, have been in a recession for the last several months.
"But other areas, particularly, exports, are doing quite well," he said. "The current news is quite gloomy, but the outlook 18 months to two years is more positive. It's just that the economic news is going to be poor for a few quarters, but with some of the restructuring that is going on in certain areas of the economy means we will be in a much better position going forward."

If Annie Wilkes were reading this book now would be the time she would stand up and call the whole creative team out for being lying dirty birds. Last month dropped a hell of a cliffhanger on us, or at least it would have been if we werenât waiting for the ultimate cop out from it. Of course, none of us actually expected to see Matt Murdock die. Itâs certainly not going to happen with a relaunch already solicited. Thus it makes you wonder why the moment was used at all when it barely held any impact at the time and now, with this soft sell out of events, itâs just another lame wannabe moment from a string of them in this run.
Andy Diggle peppers this issue with moments not earned and it truly grates by the end. Murdock inexplicably ends up with the blind boy who has been so earnestly set up. Murdock only says sorry twice but thatâs all it takes for the kid to fire up and demand more than sorry. Itâs beats like these that arenât actually built up to, but if Diggle wants the boy screaming encouragement at Murdock like Mickey getting Rocky to chase chickens, then I guess thatâs what we get. All the goons with guns canât aim -- of course they canât -- and the others goons donât even have guns. Youâve seen this all before, kids, and hopefully better.
This book simply hasnât been very good. The fights are great but they barely hold a place within the narrative. The big moments pack a punch, but they feel cheap because they arenât worked up to fairly. There is one great moment where the nightmare inducing villain, Calavera, makes Murdock see himself for what he became the moment he murdered. Itâs a hell of a moment and might be the best thing from this whole title, except for the fact I have no idea how Calaveraâs powers work and it feels like they shouldnât work on a blind man.
Davide Gianfelice is one hell of an artist. Thereâs no doubt about that but sometimes you have to match your artist to your project and this one just doesnât work. His composition and line work of motion are exquisite at times, though his backgrounds need work. The entire dichotomy of quality from Gianfelice on this title can be summed up on one page. At the top, in a near-half page splash, we see Hellâs Kitchen. Itâs beautiful in a silent moment that Hollingsworth colors with a reminiscent quality. Weâre among old friends here. A shame the old friend occupies three panels down below and it is without a doubt the worst Foggy Nelson ever generated in nearly 50 years.
Thereâs already enough bafflement floating around the concept that Daredevil has killed, been âRebornâ, and is now being relaunched. Itâs all so quick and this book only serves to highlight this problem of timing. Diggle squeezes Murdockâs return to Hellâs Kitchen into the final pages, making his run all the more redundant and forgettable. I really wanted to like Diggleâs run, and there were a handful of issues that delivered, but this issue is only worth picking up in order to truly confirm that this houseguest is exiting the premises. Letâs all take June to cleanse our palette and prepare for Mark Waidâs #1 in July.

Great service, staff, physical plant and location.
The free breakfast and afternoon snacks
There is no elevator.
Quiet and clean
No breakfast and the internet connection was poor.
Disturbingly FILTHY and nobody should have to pay for a stay such as this. I wish I was able to post the photos I took. The tub was black, the toilet had urine and hair at the base. EVERYTING was covered in dust. The diner next door was as bad!!!!
Location was OK, quiet and convenient. Parking was good.
They could not find my reservation and I had to pay a higher price. The online price was refunded after much phone work. The vent in the bathroom was missing and the tub was chipped and not at all inviting to use. The floor in the room was carpet tiles and uneven.
Nothing. I never saw a room but the building was bright yellow and dumpy looking. I would give it 0 stars.
As I explained above, the owner/manager was absolutely crazy and I would NEVER stay at a place with staff so completely out of control. Now I will have to go through my credit card company to see if the nut actually charged me.
plenty of parking
Roaches and the most uncomfortable bed, plus lock your luggage the cleaning staff seems to go thru your stuff. Plus the Hot Breakfast is a joke, its frozen food and a microwave LOL, and you can't take it back to your room what a joke.
Location to Sul Ross and price was great
Door frame needs to be fixed so there is no gap between the door and the frame
Friendly staff...great hotel! Loved the covered motorcycle parking!!!
Clean and new. As for the staff, they were constantly cleaning.
I guess I was not that fond of Alpine. But, that really had nothing to do with the location of the hotel in Alpine.
The people who work at the Maverick are lovely; Alpine is a great location. We enjoyed a complimentary drink downtown, and were pleasantly surprised to see they had a pool.
Charming, nostalgic hotel.
Manager was uneducated and obviously from Alpine.
Staff was great and very accommodating. Good breakfast. The first floor has lots of seating both inside & out to relax and visit. They allow pets and they can go pretty much anywhere except the bar & restaurant inside.
They do allow pets and we had two small dogs with us. The pet fee was $30 per dog which seems kinda steep since they did no harm but I suppose they need to cover themselves since I'm sure some dogs do require extra cleanup / attention.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
Maximum Depth Sequencing Has the Potential...
As Translational Medicine Data Become More...
FDA has approved Archimedes Pharma's fentanyl nasal spray Lazanda® (fentanyl) for the management of breakthrough cancer pain in adult patients who are tolerant to opioid therapy. The drug formulation is already marketed as PecFent® in five countries in Europe.
Clearance of Lazanda represents FDA's first approval of a fentanyl spray and is also Archimedes' first U.S. approval, the firm states. The drug will be launched during the second half of 2011 with a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy program.
Lazanda has been formulated using Archimedes' pectin-based PecSys delivery system, which administeres a low-volume, low-viscosity aqueous solution to the mucus membrane as a fine mist. The mist forms a gel on contact with the mucosa, and the active fentanyl ingredient is absorbed across the mucus membrane into the blood stream.
Archimedes is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on oncology, pain, neurology, and critical care sectors. The firm is exploiting two nasal drug delivery platforms, PecSys and ChiSys®, and a gastrointestinal drug delivery technology called Targit®.
ChiSys is a bioadhesive technology developed to increase the time that drugs reside on mucosal membranes and increases bioavailability, which the firm maintains could replace the need to use injections to deliver some drugs. Targit is designed to facilitate the release of drugs specifically within the lower gastrointestinal tract by protecting against acid- and enzyme-related degradation in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
The approach effectively coats drugs drug-loaded capsules with a combination of enteric polymers, with the choice and thickness of the coating determining the site of release within the gastric tract. Archimedes says Targit can in addition be combined with several formulation approaches such as absorption enhancement or controlled release to provide sustained-release characteristics.
In addition to developing its own pipeline of products, the firm's Archimedes Development subsidiary offers pharmaceutical services on a contract basis, including research and formulation development, clinical trial manufacturing, analytical/QC and bioanalytical services, the co-ordination and monitoring of clinical trials, and manufacturing transfer to commercial scale.

Serious Suggestions
We've been playing haardcore since this game first came out, and we thought last year was a flop for the following reasons, which can be improved:
1. The player search functionality was terrible. Fix it.
2. The form graphs disappeared last year, so it was harder to tell who was doing what the last couple weeks. To research, you'd have to pick a player who hopefully someone in your league had and then starting going back week after week to find out how he did. Otherwise all you had was an average (misleading) and a total (no form) to go by.
3. Make every week start on Saturday and end on Saturday. It's very difficult to plan on midweek games.
4. This whole locking business took 80% of the fun out of the game, because you couldn't search other players *while your were watching games on the weekend*. It forced me to manage my team on weekdays. I'd rather search through players when relaxing on my couch watching footy on Saturday.
5. Correlate performance to value changes more accurately. There were times when a striker would get 20 points and barely move, while a defender would hit the stratosphere in value for getting 10 points. Points are points.
Basically, bring back the old game and fire the dude who came up with last year's version.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I support you 100% for what you said. Last year's version was so miserable that most of my friends gave up and played else where. Bring back the old format please.

Ye im with you on that last thing you said. LOL.

When Yahoo bring back the old game, I think we should be able to place players on the bench. Suppose Henry is injuried for 3 weeks but you don't want to sell him, you may use $3-4 to buy a player to replace him and drop Henry on the bench. This functioned well when I played the game below called "AVEEGO" last season.
Points 1, 2 and 5 will be investigated. It is already planned to incorporate points 3 and 4 for the new season.

The salary cap idea from last season has to go too. It can`t possibly work without a total lockdown until all weekly games have been played & points added. That would not only be impractical but also virtually impossible should a game take place on a Friday night for example.
El_Campeador El_Campeador Jul 7, 2005 08:36 Flag
Are you with Yahoo?
Well it seems the majority is in favour of the old version. Alot of people i spoke too during lasts season also thought so, a few however i have to admit liked the new game, but not many.
I really hope Yahoo are taking note of this and are putting serious consideration to changing ALL of the rules back to how they were the season before last!
The Devil'S Advocate. The Devil'S Advocate. Jul 7, 2005 00:35 Flag
...& so say all of us. :)
The main problem with last years game was the salary cap. (In effect, there wasn`t one after the first few weeks.)
Half the fun was balancing the books, taking a gamble that if you sold Henry `cos he was injured in a 2 game week would you be able to buy him back in time for the home game with West Brom etc. Where`s the fun if everyone has built up a 500pt salary cap & can afford anyone?
I agree with the points made by hbarakatt about a strict Saturday to Saturday deadline, & about the lock-down being a pain (as well as completely pointless)
It is so important to know exactly which games are in each week so you can plan your tactics.
Please, please bring back the old game with a few modifications as suggested...it was so much better than the new one.
- 1 Reply to The Devil'S Advocate.
As I said on another thread, I like the salary cap concept but feel the value needs a maximum and a minimim - say 80 - 130 which means that advantage can be gained or lost, but not by enough to totally skew the game. Additionally, the ability to inflate the cap by using players from weekday games needs to be addressed. If these were done, the cap could improve an already terrific game.
A Yahoo! User Jul 7, 2005 00:25 Flag
I think the guy has hit the nail on the head, bring back the older version of the game. It was soo easy last year to get any player you wanted. Near enough everyone had the same team towards the end.

Pixel Professional Photo Accessories
The King can fire the flash up to 1000 feet (300m) away from the camera, provides TTL control for Canon, Nikon and Sony camera systems and can control your camera so that it can sync with flash at speeds up to 1/8000 second, plus offers high speed sync even with studio strobes.
The Pixel King uses the 2.4GHz frequency for reliable, repeatable results. To make sure you can work with multiple users, the King offers 7 channels that can be setup into 3 different groups. This allows the photographer to prepare different lighting setups and switch them on and off – in any combination – without having to physically touch the strobes.
For flash units that have power zooms, the King transmits a signal that adjusts the flash zooming as you zoom your lens. And to help your camera focus in low-light situations, the King's transmitter has a powerful focus assist light built-in.
To keep the King current with camera firmware upgrades and new camera models, it has a USB port that lets you upgrade online.
For added control, you can set 1st curtain or 2nd curtain synchronization and red-eye reduction (Nikon and Sony). And you can easily mix and match TTL and manual flash units.
The Pixel King kit includes the transmitter and receiver, connecting cable, USB cable and universal flash holder. Both units use 2 AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable).

Fresh Tracks from Kevin J
I would like to apologize for not reaching out to all of you before now. As the new Division Director, I want to first, thank all of the IMD Patrol Representatives for voting my assistants, John Keith, Stephan Birkel, and me in. I have taken a strong interest in, not only our division, but national level issues that affect our division, and our organization for several years now. I am continuing to represent you on a national level by being appointed to serve on the Selection Committee to help narrow the field of applicants for the position of National Education Director. We have recently lost Darcy Hanley, and will be looking for a qualified replacement.
Our division is in a bit of a flux. We have several mountain resorts going through transitions, that directly impact some of our very dedicated patrols. I am monitoring these transitions and am offering any assistants that may help answer any questions that might arise.
I would like to remind all our members that it is your right, and responsibility to vote in the ongoing, National Board elections. Voting ends on December 1. Log in to NSP.org and sign in. Voting is very easy, Bill Sinykin is running for the National Board and deserves your vote. He's on several national committees and has served as the Chair of the Division Director's Committee. He represented our division for 6 years and did a great job. Vote as you feel appropriate , and take the time to learn about the other candidates from the publication that you received with your last ski patrol magazine.
I'm looking forward to visiting all your mountains , and supporting all of your education , and administrative needs.
Happy Turns,
Kevin J.

THANK YOU from your Past Division Director". I want to thank all of you for your support and allowing me the opportunity to serve this fine Division as your Division Director. I wish the new Leadership of the Division the best of luck and know that we are in good hands. I look forward to seeing all of you on the snow and making a few turns in the soft white stuff.
I believe that change can be a good thing and it is usually inevitable. There are certainly changes afoot in the Ski Industry. Large companies are continuing to move toward dominating the ownership aspect of our Ski Areas. Vail Corp. now owns Park City and the Canyons along with its many other holdings. An article I just read talks about new lifts that will connect five Utah Areas on the Wasatch Front. I am anxious to see what all of this means to the NSP and patrolling in the Intermountain Division.
We have a great new Team in the leadership role of the IMD. Kevin Johnson (new DD), John Keith (new Southern Assistant), and Stefan Berkel (serving a second term as Northern Assistant) are poised to lead the Division into the future. I applaud these outstanding individuals for stepping forward and offering their services to the members of this outstanding Division. document

Bunker gear

Bunker gear or turnout gear are terms used by many firefighters to refer to their Personal Protective Equipment or PPE. "Bunker gear" and "turnout gear" can refer, depending on the context, to just the trousers, boots and jacket, or to the entire combination of personal protective equipment and personal protective clothing. The terms are derived from the fact that the trousers and boots are traditionally kept by the firefighter's bunk at the fire station to be readily available for use. This clothing is usually referred to as "fire kit" in the UK and Ireland. In Hong Kong, it is referred to as incident gear.

|This article needs attention from an expert in Fire Service. (February 2009)
Historically, firefighters did not have the same level of protective clothing used today. Because of this most fires were fought from the outside of burning buildings, and structures were rarely entered. Early in the history of firefighting, a firefighter's outer clothing were more for warmth and dryness than for protection from fire. In the early 19th century, felt caps were worn of various design and were more for decoration than service; this early headgear did not provide any protection against flame or head injury but did keep water off the firefighter's face. The forerunner of the modern firefighter's helmet was developed in 1830 by a luggage maker Henry Gratacap who was a volunteer firefighter in New York City. He saw a need for a better designed helmet that was both functional and provided protection to the wearer. This helmet is immediately recognizable today as the "New Yorker" style and little has changed in its general shape. The helmet had a high peaked front to retain a helmet shield which was usually adorned with a company name and number and it also featured eight rib sections on the dome (for added rigidity) and a long rear brim that channeled water away from the wearer's neck.
The early use of long trench coats, made of leather or canvas and later made of rubber, was the forerunner of modern turnout jackets. Early coats had felt or wool liners to provide warmth in the winter. These liners later developed in basic thermal protection liners found in today's modern coats. Earlier rubber coats were much longer than today's modern turnout jackets, reaching down to a firefighter's mid thigh and were worn with long rubber boots called "three-quarter boots" which came above the firefighter's knees. This interface of boot and coat left a large gap of protection against fire. This system has since been replaced by the modern combination of a jacket, pants with suspenders, and shorter rubber or leather boots, although some departments still wear the traditional old style of gear.
The combination of modern triple-layer turnout gear with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), PASS device, and modern communications equipment made it more feasible and survivable to enter burning buildings. Modern turnout jackets and pants are made of fire resistant fabrics (mainly Aramids such as Nomex and Kevlar) or polybenzimidazole (PBI). The standard that the National Fire Protection Association has designated to firefighter protective clothing, NFPA 1971: Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting, which specifies "the minimum design, performance, safety, testing, and certification requirements for structural fire fighting protective ensembles and ensemble elements that include coats, trousers, coveralls, helmets, gloves, footwear, and interface components.[1]
Station uniform[edit]
The first component of firefighting equipment is the uniform that a firefighter will wear around the station. Its purpose is to provide a comfortable clothing that they wear around the station, but will not become an obstruction when a firefighter is required to put on his turnout gear. Naturally, turnout gear is to be worn over the station garments during any call that a firefighter is called upon. Another aspect of the station uniform is the station safety shoes, commonly referred to as work boots. These shoes are required to be fitted with safety toes and puncture-resistant soles in most countries in case the firefighter goes out on a call that does not require his/her turnout gear.
United States[edit]
The United States follows NFPA 1975, Standard on Station/Work Uniforms for Fire Fighters. NFPA 1975's main purpose is that no part of the uniform garment "ignite, melt, drip, or separate"[1] when exposed to a heat of 500°F for 5 minutes.
Turnout clothing[edit]
Turnout clothing can consist of a combination of trousers with an overall strap attached, boots, and a jacket. Many sets use a trouser/jacket combination. The advantage of this combination is the ability to take off the jacket in situations where the jacket is not necessary. Since bunker gear insulates the body from the outside air, the body heats up rapidly: taking off a jacket helps considerably in keeping cool.
It has been noted that young children who happen to be in already dangerous circumstances like a building fire may be frightened by the appearance of firefighters so equipped. To deal with that potential problem, many fire departments have school presentations to familiarize children with the gear so as to ensure they will be calm and cooperative during emergencies
According to NFPA 1971 and similar standards in other countries, all turnout clothing must have three components: an outer shell, a moisture barrier, and a thermal barrier. In between these layers are pockets of air referred to as "dead zones". These layers of air, along with the three protective layers, help to further insulate the wearer from the extreme environments of fires. Usually turnout pants are outfitted with reinforced knees and leather cuffs.
The materials used for the three layers in turnout trousers and coats may vary but will very often include a Nomex/Kevlar combination of material. As an example, the materials used by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, as found in their 2005 recruit handout are as follows:
- Outer Shell: Southern Mills, Advanced, Nomex/Kevlar blend in a "Rip stop Weave", with water repellent finish.
- Thermal Insulated Layer: Southern Mills Caldura Batten Quilt Material.
- Thermal and Moisture barriers are sewn together for removal for cleaning, repair and replacement from Outer shell.
- Moisture Barrier: Breathe-Tex material combined with Nomex/Kevlar blend laminated cloth.
NFPA 1500(Primary Guidelines for the Fire Service) and similar standards mandate features such as protective collars and sleeves to protect the fire fighter from exposure to heat, (hot or polluted) water and debris;
Turnout trousers[edit]
Once the need arises for actual firefighting protective equipment to be worn, also known as turnouts, a firefighter must properly wear protective equipment required. Turnout trousers will be the first article of clothing that a firefighter will usually wear. Suspenders worn with the turnout trousers should be the heavy duty type in order to stand up against such heavy weights and rigorous activities they will face. Most experienced interior firefighters (firefighters that enter the structure in an emergency) will carry, in their turnout trouser pockets, various tools and equipment as well as rope they may need during an emergency. The turnout trousers, when not in use, are usually stored scrunched down around the boots for efficient and fast access when they are needed. The firefighter may then step into each boot and pull up the trousers and suspenders.
Turnout coat[edit]
A turnout coat is the type of jacket typically worn by firefighters. Oversized pockets allow for carrying tools and equipment, and reflective safety stripes ensure that firefighters remain visible to each other. Protective coats will usually have Velcro or zipper functions which will enable a firefighter to properly and efficiently don this piece of gear. There is also a storm flap which covers this closure area and protects it against damage and loosening and as an extra measure to the fire fighter as these areas can be exposed to fire and heat. Wristlets, 4 inch (according to NFPA 1500) 100% Nomex coverings along the distal end of the coat arms in with the thumb joint will slip through, fit around the firefighter's hand and provide redundant protection where the skin may show between the glove and coat. They are designed to prevent burns to the wrist, while preventing bunching and remaining flexible.
The overalls that are available are of the same materials and specifications. Usually an overall has a cord built in around the waist to make it fit better. Because of its size it's more difficult to scrunch up the overall around the boots.
Firefighter turnout boots are usually sized as a regular shoe, but are made of rubber or leather with a Boron Steel toe insert. The boots are slipped inside the legs of the trousers to maintain a barrier from the heat given off by the fire. When the trousers and boots are not being actively used, the trousers will fold down and out around the shins of the boots, ready for quick access for the firefighter. Due to the enormous amounts of potential hazards at a fire scene to the feet, turnout boots are required to be able to handle a variety of different burns and blows. All boots are required to be outfitted with safety toes and a puncture resistant midsole plate to prevent puncture from sharp objects that may be stepped on. Such emphasis on the midsole plate is made that IFSTA has deemed that "if there is doubt about midsole protection, [one should go as far as to] x-ray the boot."[1]
Flash hood/Nomex hood and other parts of the garments[edit]
When helmets do not provide built-in protection for the ears, neck and part of the face a protective firefighting hood is worn by firefighters. These are fitted and designed to protect the firefighter's ears, neck, and the parts of his face which are not protected by the SCBA mask.
They are designed to the guidelines set by NFPA 1975. Cal/OSHA Title #8 also has regulations in the state of California. They are made of Nomex Knit Fabric which weighs 6 oz./ Sq. Yrd.; they are most often double ply with only one seam running from the top center of the face opening, over the top and down the bottom of the bib. The Nomex Knit, which is standard, is why they are commonly referred to as Nomex hoods. First, the hood is tucked into the collar. The SCBA mask is then donned, and the hood pulled over the face seal to cover any exposed skin.
Firefighter helmet[edit]
The fire helmet's first function was to shed water in early years. Today, it is first and foremost designed to protect a firefighter from falling debris and injury to the head while fighting a fire. The secondary job of the fire helmet is to protect from heat, and hence burns to the head. It provides a hard shell, electrical, heat, and steam burn protection, and in some types of helmets, goggles or a visor. Goggles or a visor are used to protect the firefighter's eyes during rescue and extrication operations. Fire helmets are constructed of various materials including non conductive materials for protection against electrical currents, carbon fiber and plastic combination for a lightweight design for comfort, and a Kevlar lining for strength and protection.
The design of helmets vary from fire service to fire service and depends on the service or department's requirements. Some helmets are fitted with a face guard or shield to protect the firefighter's face against heat, dust, water and debris when working on a rescue or extraction call as well as when performing fire exposure protection. In the case of exposure protection the shield works better for it keeps more heat from the firefighter's face, but the goggles give more eye protection in extraction and rescue ops.
United States[edit]
There are four basic components to firefighting helmets:
- Helmet shell: Well balanced, lightweight, and designed to provide maximum protection. Contains a Front Brim (provides protection to "eyes and facial" area), Rear Brim (Protection to "neck" from debris and water run-off), and Raised Top (Provides stability from impact from above).
- Impact ring: 3/8" thick sponge rubber Impact Ring to absorb impact energy
- Helmet liner: High Density plastic liner, made of fire retardant cotton and Nomex; completely adjustable; "NAPE Strap" adjusts to firmly cradle the occipital portion of head.
- Chin strap: 3/4" wide, black nylon w/ Velcro on one end, leather backed "postman" side buckle. The leather helps protect the skin of the cheek from the metal buckle. Previous types of helmets had been constructed of a steel outer shell with a ribbed construction for extra strength and compressed cork with a lacquer applied to the outer face of it. The design and shape of the helmet is intended to redirect water and debris from the head and neck area. It also prevents head or neck injury to the firefighter in the event of falling debris.
In Europe and some Europe-oriented countries around the world the helmet designs vary from the U.S. designs in that they are moving towards a style without brims. The pilot-style helmets have a brim at the front of the helmet, and a shape that covers more of the head. The neck is protected by a combination of a Nomex (or similar material) flash hood, and a foil-faced neck curtain which connects to the rear of the helmet. In most designs the Nomex fabric also protects the area around a SCBA facepiece and the front of the neck. A commonly used helmet is the F1 helmet although several other designs like the Dräger HPS Helmet are in use.
These helmets tend to have in-built face protection (visors) and eye protection that swivel into the shell of the helmet for protection.
EN 443:1997 (Helmets for firefighters) specifies the properties that are demanded for protection, comfort and durability. There are optional specifications to cater for national requirements. The new EN 443-2008 now replace the EN 443-1997.
Hand protection[edit]
Many types of hand protection are available to firefighters today, the most common being the work glove and the structural firefighting glove.
Work gloves are a must for all fire services. They are used when gloves are required, but actual firefighting gloves are not. They allow better mobility to perform various types of functions from relaying hose beds to vehicle maintenance. Work gloves are usually made of leather or a leather-like material.
Extrication gloves are similar in design and appearance to auto mechanic's gloves but are made of a heavier rip-proof and puncture-resistant material such as Kevlar while still lightweight enough to allow the manual dexterity to operate rescue equipment and sometimes enough to take a victim's pulse. These are used in urban search and rescue, vehicle extrication and related applications, but are not rated for firefighting.
For an actual working fire, structural firefighting gloves must be worn. Structural gloves tend to be the last piece of protective equipment to be donned; usually because the free dexterity of the fingers is required to perform functions such as properly placing an SCBA mask on and accurately tightening a helmet strap. The gloves will fit over the wristlets and under the distal part of the coat sleeve, ensuring full enclosure of the latter arm. Gloves are designed to protect from extreme heat and various penetrating objects and to allow dexterity. Usually the latter is sacrificed to give adequate protection to heat and sharp objects. Newer gloves are more lightweight and don't lose their dexterity when they dry after becoming wet, the way leather gloves may.
Proximity suit[edit]
Firefighters wear several other related types of protective clothing, which are not usually called turnout gear:
Proximity gear or a fire proximity suit is turnout gear with an outer layer of heat-reflecting metallic material, used in firefighting applications of extreme heat such as aircraft fires and some chemical fires.
Hazmat suit[edit]
Hazmat suits are designed to prevent the wearer from coming into contact with hazardous materials. The suits come in two variations; gastight (called Level A in the US) and splash protection (Levels B or C in the US). These suits are uncomfortable to wear and always require the use of SCBA or an airline breathing apparatus. The suit consists of the body, boots, 2 pairs of rubber or latex gloves, and another pair of latex gloves that is duct taped to the sleeves to provide maximum protection. The next piece is the hood. The hood allows the HAZMAT operator to enter the scene and still have a full range of view with the maximum protection possible. The SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) is worn under the suit so it as well is protected from any chemicals that the operator may endure while on the scene.
Wildland fire suppression[edit]
Protective clothing worn for forest fire and other wildland fire suppression use is made of a single layer of lightweight Nomex material and worn with leather logging boots and an industrial hard hat. A tent-like fire shelter is carried for emergency use in case of a blowup. In the U.S. the standard colour scheme for wildland fire PPE since the 1970s is yellow for shirts, green for trousers. Steel toed or rubber boots cannot be worn due to the heat conditions on the fireline. U.S. standards for wildland gear are covered in NFPA 1977.
