Posted on 05/10/2014 2:08:12 PM PDT by nickcarraway
They bring down banks, squander huge fortunes on reckless pursuits and in their spare time are found clinging to vertical rocks or leaping out of aeroplanes Mike Peake investigates what makes men gamble with their lives, seeking the ultimate thrill
When New Zealand-based forensic psychiatrist Dr Erik Monasterio set out to interview people for a study he was conducting into risk-taking behaviour, 90 per cent of the mountaineers he spoke to were men. For base jumping the adrenaline-pumping sport where the order of the day is to fling yourself off the top of something high the figure was 80 per cent. He didnt go looking for male respondents, he took whoever came his way, which turned out to be guys by the bucketload.
That single fact alone perhaps illustrates better than anything that it is men who are drawn to risk. Whether its on the trading floor or strapped to a parachute above a snow-covered mountain, men and risk are as familiar bedfellows as women and romantic comedies, kids and candy. And unfortunately skydivers and funeral directors.
In a world that is becoming increasingly risk averse, thrill seekers stand out like sore thumbs. Living by their own set of rules and often at loggerheads with conventional thinking, they actively seek out a route to exhilaration that will provide an alternative to the humdrum of everyday life even though the act of living out their dreams can all too frequently end in disaster. But what drives them? Why are their numbers growing? And why are women so infrequently a part of their circle?
We know that testosterone is a hormone linked to risk-taking behaviour, says Dr Monasterio. So the preponderance of male participants in extreme sports is partially due to differences in sex hormones. We also know that in general, women tend to be more prone to anxiety, and if youre more prone to anxiety common sense would suggest that you stay away from risk.

How to control your inner control freak Health care professionals are calling for mental illness services to be more male-friendly by using exercise or computer therapy. Tackling male depression Hormones and chemicals clearly play a part, says Dr Monasterio, but theres more to it than that. Theyre not determinants, he says. Theyre just part of a whole range of factors that contribute to risk-taking behaviour.
A common understanding about extreme risk-takers is that they underestimate the dangers of their activities and think that luck will see them through. Dr Monasterios studies, however, have demonstrated this is not true.
People who do extreme sports know exactly what theyre doing, says Dr Monasterio, himself an experienced climber who survived his first few years on the mountains with a self-belief that was disproportionate to my experience.
They understand the risks, but theyre fine with them and continue doing it, he says. It isnt just blind optimism that its only your mate whos going to get hurt.
The key motivating factor, he says, is the thrill itself. The rewards risk-takers get from their extreme behaviour are so significant that they allow them to tolerate the risks.
In other words, you know you might die or if your risk-taking is done in a bank, you know you might cause a financial meltdown but you do it anyway.
Its a challenging concept that makes you wonder if the rest of us, perhaps, are missing out on something. If your biggest exposure to risk to date is an afternoons waterskiing or a gentle climb up a challenging hill, might the high of extreme, risk-taking behaviour be something you have never even come close to? And just how good is it anyway?
We are risk junkies! says Frenchman Loïc Jean-Albert, who broke his back in a paragliding accident in 2007. It needs a lot of willpower to stop chasing the adrenaline.
Jean-Albert was one of the pioneers of wingsuit flying wingsuits being those strange, flappy bodysuits where strips of material link each ankle and also the wrists to the waist but had to give up his thrill-seeking activities after a near-fatal collision with a rock at 100kph.
He says that coming to terms with a safer life was easy to say, but not so easy to do, and recalls how seeing the movie Avatar brought home the finality of his decision to quit. Tears came to my eyes when the guy rode the dragon for the first time, he says, still greatly affected by the memory. It was a painful reminder that the freedom he once felt from whizzing through the skies with the wind in his face was a thing of the past.
Today Jean-Albert flies helicopters and aeroplanes which might sound like a risky job to the average person, but not to him. Not that he ever considered life as a wingsuit flyer pro to be dangerous, either.
Risk was exactly what I was trying to avoid, he says. And yet everyone in the extreme sports community must wonder when it is their turn for something to go wrong. Serious accidents amongst base jumpers happen once every 200-300 jumps, says Dr Monasterio, And about two-thirds of the jumpers we spoke to had already had a major injury. We asked them how often they thought serious injuries occurred, wondering if they would seriously underestimate, but they were spot on.
Somewhat paradoxically, perhaps, extreme sportsmen are frequently among the most careful people you could ever hope to meet. When the margins for error are so minuscule, you do everything in your power to try to keep the odds in your favour and that includes packing up and going home if it doesnt feel right. Shane and I dissected every stunt, says JT Holmes, a base jumper who lost his best friend Shane McConkey in an accident in the Dolomites in 2009. If each component was something you were comfortable with, you went for it, and if anything wasnt right, youd say no. And that happens. You walk away.
What no one could have foreseen was the perfect storm of bad luck that stopped Shane from opening his parachute in time to stop his freefall that fateful day in the mountains. He died instantly. But JT didnt quit though he did think about it and today makes sure his jumps are more about quality than quantity.
For many adrenaline junkies, the pursuit of risky activities seems to be hardwired. And very hard to suppress. When I was a young mountaineer I needed strong experiences to get a sense of aliveness, says Dr Monasterio.
When I did, I felt rewarded, but only when I really pushed myself and felt like I was living on the edge. It was a sense of inner peace Ive never had from anything else.
Interestingly, Dr Monasterio who interviewed 100 base jumpers for his study, which is about 10 per cent of their worldwide population has seen parallels between extreme risk-takers and the criminals his work has exposed him to.
Some of the base jumpers are pretty extreme, almost getting into the domain of pathology where they are slaves to their instinct, he says.
The interesting question for me is why do some people choose to express their risk-taking instinct in antisocial ways? Why do some choose crime or violence over extreme sports? And if you push kids towards thrill-seeking sports at an early age, can you push them away from antisocial behaviour?
Dr Monasterio talks about character traits like sensation-seeking and harm avoidance, thrill-seekers typically scoring high on the former and low on the latter. Surprisingly, though, extreme sportswomen often score quite high when it comes to harm avoidance a personality trait that is characterised by high levels of worry, doubt and pessimism. Something utterly at odds with thrill-seeking behaviour, then, and perhaps one of the reasons that the bulk of the worlds risk-takers are men.
It is men bringing down banks (remember Nick Leeson and French stocks trader JérÔme Kerviel?); and it is men mostly to be found clinging to vertical rocks or happily leaping out of aeroplanes.
The popularity of adventure sports is growing exponentially, says Dr Monasterio, and I think its a reflection of living in an increasingly risk-averse society where we try to control things. In the olden days, men used to go to war and life used to be a lot more uncertain. I think extreme sports help satisfy those instincts. Some men, he says, simply have a need to get out there and live adventurously. And he argues that adventure sports are a very valid way of doing that.
The smart way, of course, is to give in to these desires in as safe a way as possible. If thrill-seeking tendencies are locked into your chemical make-up, denial could prove unbearable. Like forcing a lion to eat broccoli.
Your instincts need to be expressed, Dr Monasterio insists. If you have a young guy whos strongly drawn towards risk-taking behaviour and hes sitting there as an accountant, I think its likely to fail.
The best way to is to say, This is how Im made, I need these experiences and if Im going to do them Im going to do them in a way that is not antisocial and also which maximises my chances of survival.
If the urge is taking you, then maybe you should go for it. Take a leaf out of Omar Samras book, perhaps he was the youngest Arab to climb Everest in 2007, when he was 29. Or turn up at Skydive Dubai, which will let you do a tandem jump from a plane for just Dh1,750 and will even give you a video to prove you really did it. Just remember to smile for the cameras and tell yourself that youre having fun.
But before you set off dont you want to ensure youve informed your insurance company? And said goodbye to the cat? Maybe that nice afternoons waterskiing would have been fine after all.
Some people are adrenaline junkies, some aren't. I certainly was (less so now that I've surprisingly made it way past my youthful predictions.)
I thought that beer was the reason.
With risk comes reward. Not every risky endeavor involves possible death or maiming. Males are the drivers of genetic fitness. We're more variable, far more geniuses, far more idiots. Women are the moderating force, genetically and so far as risk, although temperamentally this is often reversed, lol, with men being more even keel and women swinging wildly from one extreme to the other.
Motorcyclists are similar
One has a 38:1 odds ratio for dying per mile driven,
relative to passenger cars
They understand this, but
They love getting out of the cage of steel.
"There I was...thought I was gonna die" how low when you cut away?? To low for a reserve?
There are some beautiful street bikes, I've been admiring the new Indian Chief Vintage. But, I'm not too keen on that sort of risk. I sold my dirt bike to buy my first car at age 16 and that's the last one I've ever had.
Why Men Take Risks for the Ultimate Thrill
Based upon what I see on TV it's the chicks that do this.
60' over 5' of water as it turned out.
RISK...it's why I never married.
and then again, way back, early to mid '70's.
It's just the way men are wired.
We seek risks to expand boundaries in order to better understand, and control what is around us. And sometimes the thrill of it alone gives us the same chemical reaction in our brains.
Men just aren't into self-preservation like women are. That is why we did the exploring, went to war, and hunted.
Too bad he didn't study women risk takers/thrill seekers. Doesn't every kid get a thrill when they first learn to ride a bike? Learn to ride their first dirt bike? Get their first motorcycle license? Hang glide for the first time? Solo in an airplane? Do their first AFF jump and not that tandem crap? Learn to BASE jump? Learn to jump a skyboard? Childhood is pretty thrilling. Why lose it when you grow up? I guess I'm just a kid at heart living in an adult playground world. My husband will vouch it certainly isn't from too much testosterone.
Rode motorcycles my whole life. Am amazed I didn't fall or die.
Once on a Kawasaki H1-F, I was racing a guy and my front wheel came off the ground over a foot. Scared the crap out of me! I didn't try to do that! Instinct made me lean fwd FAST!
And every friday night we'd ride our motorcycles to the bar after work and get hammered, then ride them home. Can't believe I never fell. We were TOASTED after drinking 6 x 24oz beer specials.
Those pics made me go find my copy of Skies Call.
I have had the pleasure of sitting beside Ivan Stewart in a SCORE PRO Truck (off road racing) going 100 mph across the open desert outside Plaster city CA, Cartwheeling a Class 10 car in San Felipe through a cactus patch at 70 mph, Mexico, racing a Super Mod II Yamaha SRX snowmobile across frozen Adirondack lakes and hanging out of helicopters photographing off-road racing on the Baja peninsula.
All the psychobabble and such may have a basis in truth. But the answer for me was simple. It is the most fun you can have with clothes on. Although some have been known to race naked ;)
Those days are long gone now and I have other hobbies. Far more sedate ones. Nothing wrong with that either. To each their own.
I do it for the laughs alone.
Just did the 400 foot drop at Great America.
There is no such thing as gravity. The Earth sucks! :{)
Next, time do it in the coaster! the security people were freaking out.
The guy next to me was shaking when we got done.
I was laughing and clapping.
He said I'm crazy.
Back in line.....
And still standing? Commendable!
Do some women express this desire for risk/thrills by being attracted to "bad boys?"
Some women are strongly drawn to men who are more than a little like going to bed with a tiger.
How is the new stadium/.
Thats only a 12 pack. Certainly drunk but far from 'still standing'. At least from what I remember from my drunk years ;)
"We know that testosterone is a hormone linked to high risk behavior"
When I was 18, I took a couple of static-line jumps and rode a mechanical bull (this was during the Urban Cowboy craze). I'm not a risk-taker by nature, but my 18 year old hormones overrode even my mild nature.
It looks odd but, I understand from a friend, who will have a box, it will be incredible.find out next year.
I swear I could Saint Peter's house from the top of that ride.
Don't forget that Hell's Angels was started by WW II vets who couldn't handle the confining regimented life of post-war America.
I think the real reason they use 18 and 20 year olds is because they are available and healthy, not tied to careers and families, and not over 40.
Great pictures!! Second pic reminds me of the skydive part in the movie Fandango..ARCH ARCH!!
I was able to do some CRW only a few times..awesome!
"Do some women express this desire for risk/thrills by being attracted to bad boys?
Some women are strongly drawn to men who are more than a little like going to bed with a tiger."
The women skydivers I knew were all quite intelligent and none with "bad boys." They had sense enough to avoid them. The guys I knew women with were designing gear, doing film work,tv,teaching the sport, etc. "Bad boys" were pretty looked down on. I'm married to an ex-Mormon who's a 727 captain for a VIP. Of course with pilots they tend to be "bad boys" in a different way. My husband hasn't set any bars on fire, gotten crew kicked out of hotels, etc., however he did make a Delta captain cry once.
It's been years, great memories. I acquired my expert license so as to leap from El Capitan. As luck would have it they forbade that just as I was planning the trip. About 300 jumps, over 2 hrs freefall, last jump in 1983 or 4 or so.
Saw the remains of the hangar in Fandango yesterday. Some vermin burned it a few years ago and just the outer wall frames left. Rattlesnake Field is almost all gone.
Because it is fun.
Now hold my beer. Watch this!
80's was when I was skydiving, just a baby though with 95 jumps. Got married & got pregnant. End of my skydiving career. Sure was fun. Boogies at Skydive Arizona, DC3's.
Don't think I could handle a BASE jump.
NOOO!! Just thinking about that movie cracks me up. Why do people do such things?
Meant to get back to you.
While waiting to get back on Top Gun noticed Levi's Stadium lit up.
Looked awesome and beautiful.

Author has written 1 story for Knight Rider.
Hey there! Welcome to my terrible profile. Make yourself at home, but please, don't touch the Pop! dolls.
So I have one story I wrote for Knight Rider, my first love. I started it in the ninth grade and haven't had the chance to do a rewrite yet, so forgive the earlier chapters and eventual plot holes. I'm hoping to go back and fix that someday soon(ish).
My newest love (borderline obsession, but to each their own) is Supernatural. I love everything about this series, and hope to get some fics of my own going. For now I enjoy reading the very well-written and episode-worthy stories here.
Also, on a super happy note, I attended my first con this year! I was at Minncon on Saturday, and got a photo op with Mark and Misha. (I wish the experience had been better for poor Misha, but this year we'll prove the Twin Cities aren't so horrible!) Everyone was fantastic on Saturday, but I'm happy to announce that I'll be at Minncon again in 2016 - this time for the whole weekend, and I've even talked 7 others into coming with me! Sweet Jesus I'm excited, it's going to be fantastic!
So if you'll be going to Minncon this year, message me! I'd love to talk about it, or last year's con. :)

The Korea Herald reports on a new search service from Empas (it sounds like a metasearch tool) that launched last week in Korea.
Empas Corp., the operator of search engine Empas, launched a new search tool early last week that allows users to access content from rival search engines such as Naver, Daum, and Yahoo! Korea. "Our new search tool is the industry's first product to be developed using algorithms for searching content from Weblogs and other user-created content. The search results provide the users links to the Web sites where the information can be found, benefiting both Internet users and Web companies," said Empas chief executive Park Seok-bong…Korean Internet companies, including NHN [the provider of leading engine Naver], reacted nervously to the move, accusing Empas of being a freeloader. NHN said it will block Empas from accessing its database and even hinted at filling a lawsuit."
Google is also trying to increase market share in Korea. Recently, Googler's hit the road in Korea visiting universities
aboard the Google Bus.

Product Description
"How the Immune System Works remains uniquely popular for its personable and practical overview of the nuts and bolts of the immune system. This third edition provides a perfect introduction to the essential principles of the immune system, covered in humorous but highly informative 'lectures' accompanied by clear and accessible illustrations. It is perfect for exam preparation or as an enjoyable overview of a difficult subject. Both students and instructors will welcome the clarity and authority that Lauren Sompayrac brings to this timely revision. The conversational writing style makes it seem as though the author is talking to the reader directly. There is no other book currently available quite like this one. Those of our students who have discovered the book have recommended it to others. When completing course evaluations, a substantial number have commented on how helpful it was." (Doody's Book Reviews, October 2008)
From the Back Cover
The immune system has evolved as a protection from pathogenic attack. It is immensely complicated and our appreciation of this complexity increases year on year as new research reveals yet more secrets. Understanding the immune system is crucial for both medical and bioscience students. There are many books out there that offer in-depth introductions to the subject, but none that offers such a personable and practical overview of the nuts and bolts of the immune system as How the Immune System Works.
This third edition of How the Immune System Works provides a perfect introduction to the essential principles of the immune system, covered in humorous but highly informative 'lectures'. Perfect for exam preparation or as an enjoyable overview of a difficult subject.
New features of this edition include:
- More material on cancer and the immune system
- Expanded coverage of immune system regulation with a new chapter 'Turning off the Immune Rsponse'
- A new chapter on immunological memory and vaccines.

Sompayrac's book is witty, fun reading. It isn't overly simplified, and will require some effort if you're a complete beginner to the field; but if you're a student, it's an invaluable resource to supplement your textbook. You can get the detailed description from the textbook; but from reading this, you'll understand why the mechanism is important.
My main regret is that I didn't think of searching for this book and buying it at the beginning of my class instead of a week before the final.
FWIW, I supplemented the Parham book with this one, and also the High-Yield Immunology book to give a detailed outline. I received an A-; I think if I had gotten both at the start, it would have been an A.
For students, this is the perfect book with which to start. For the average doctor in clinical practice, Sompayrac's book contains everything you need to know. The writing is so clear, strong and direct that I intend to read Sompayrac's other books on Virology and Cancer, two other extremely important areas of medicine.
I have been practicing medicine for 30 years, and I can tell you that most medical writing is turgid, dull, boring, flatulant, pedantic, and coma-inducing...in other words, God awful. I am hoping that medical book publishers take notice of this man's work, other writers will follow suit, and perhaps he will start a new trend.
Frederick A. Pereira, MD

I mapped my domains with capital letters Now casing redirected loop.
Eg. head2.com Was mapped as HEAD2.COM.
It was parked as head2.com, addedd in the add domain as head2.skincodes.com, Then mistakenly mapped them as HEAD2.COM
Now it is causing a redirected loop as said by hosgator.
I am unable to go to the dashboard to correct them.
Please I mapped loads of them over a hundred with this CAPITAL LETTER mistake. . How do I get back to my dashboard to change the error to the correct letters.
What should I do. Hostgator cannot help me.
Should I delete all of them or is there a way out easily. Thanks

On Monday morning, a multi-vehicle crash involving a semi truck injured at least nine people. According to WLOS ABC News Channel 13, the incident happened in the southbound lanes of US-441, near Lake Emory and the Franklin exit, at North East Main Street. Although very few details have been released, we do know that at least six vehicles were involved in the crash, including a tractor trailer. Apparently, the semi truck rear-ended a pickup truck, which turned into to a chain-reaction crash. Additionally, the wreck happened near a construction zone.
Nine People Injured in Truck Crash
The crash happened sometime before 11:20 a.m., on Highway 441 South. At least nine people were injured. Of those injured, four were rushed to the hospital for treatment, including one woman who was airlifted to Mission Hospital in Asheville. There is no word on any of the victims' current conditions, but the woman who was airlifted reportedly suffered from a head injury. At this time, there's no word on the status of the investigation or whether or not any charges have been made against the truck driver.

It includes original articles, reviews, mini-reviews, short communications, and case reports. Although a major focus of the journal is on the development or improvement of analytical methods for the above-mentioned chemicals in human matrices, appropriate studies with animal experiments are also published.
Forensic Toxicology is the official publication of the Japanese Association of Forensic Toxicology (JAFT) and is the continuation of the Japanese Journal of Forensic Toxicology (ISSN 0915-9606).
This publication is supported in part by a Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

This question already has an answer here:
In Windows Explorer, when I click on the drive that happens to be my cd/dvd drive, I get the message "please insert a disk into drive", which might be OK, but then the DVD drive opens and I have to close it. I consider this very rude and I do not like it. Is there a way I can keep the DVD drive from opening when it is empty and Windows tries to access it?

Directions can be challenging to teach however its practical uses are readily understood by students and there are many fun activities you can incorporate into your lessons to make them more enjoyable. Typically the first directions lesson would follow lessons introducing vocabulary such as post office, police station, school, bank, playground, park, library, etc. since these will be used extensively in directions lessons.
How To Proceed
When teaching directions, it is incredibly important to choose one structure and stick to it so that your students do not become unnecessarily confused. The examples above use the structure 'Turn right/left at the 1st/2nd/3rd corner' but you may choose to teach 'Turn right/left onto Smith Street.' or 'Go three blocks and turn right/left.' or 'Take the 1st/2nd/3rd right/left after the school.'
Happy teaching!

I'm loving the reggae, gentlemen! If you're ever looking for a producer or a studio to work with, let me know. I would love to work with you. -Ben
Hey, I hit you up on facebook about recording, and i just wanted to follow up. Not sure if you guys check this more than the fb. I like your sound and I was wondering if you needed to record soon? If so you should definitely consider coming to PopSmear and recording with Scott Llamas. He's been one of the Bay Area's top alternative producers for the last ten plus years. He does full records as well as $400 demos. Let me know if I can give you any more info. Peace,

The four of us, were met by Carlos the owner at Faa'a Airport after a late flight from Sydney via Auckland to Papeete. Eventhough it was after 2300, our graceful host was most obliging to stop for a late snack at Place Vaiete, before driving out to the location on the other side of the island, nearly an hour away.On arrival he pointed out the bright stars in the night sky, and showed us to our self contained little bungalow, which had a double bed and a set of double bunks, tv, fridge, microwave, toaster, water kettle, kitchen cupboards, dining table and chairs, bathroom with shower, toilet and sink and a verandah with table and chairs. The room was clean, comfortable in a nice garden setting. Breakfast was included. The next morning, we could appreciate the nice garden and water front on a black beach with some waves. On the horizon we could make out the east coast of Tahiti Iti. We had a relaxing morning. Carlos arrived with a nice lunch, baguettes, cheese, salad, juice, fruit salad which we enjoyed in the spacious outside covered bbq area. We spend some time on some comfy deck chairs and paddled out on to the reef. Lovely quiet location. In the late afternoon our host took us on a sightseeing tour of a nearby waterfall, the lookout at Le Plateau de Taravao and the famous surf beach Teapuhoo. On the way back to the accommodation we stopped for dinner at a roulotte. The next day Carlos drove us all the way back to Papeete, where we embarked on a 10 day cruise around some of the beautiful islands. Thanks Carlos for all your lovely gestures and making our stay a wonderful experience.
