The Dietary Supplement "Safety" Act (S.722) |
The Dietary Supplement Safety Act Don't Let Congress Overturn the Hard-Fought Victory of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 A new bill called the "Dietary Supplement Safety" Act (S.722) has been introduced in the U.S. Senate. Despite its title, it would allow no more consumer protection than current law the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) provides. It would, however, significantly undermine many of the freedoms that American consumers of dietary supplements hold dear. Oppose this Legislation! It's easy and fast, and locates your Representative by zip code. |
Sponsored by Dick Durbin, Co-Sponsored by: Sen Clinton, Sen Feinstein, Sen McCain, Sen Schumer,
Since this bill is from LAST YEAR ----
Did you look up the current status? did it pass / fail / tabled ???
Has anyone announced opposition to the bill? If so, maybe they should filibuster it.
done! I should expect nothing less from Hillary Care.
Dr. Whitaker has a vested interest in selling unregulated supplements. And I don't by his hysterical argument about the FDA pulling vitamin C off the shelf because someone gets diahhrea.
It's inane. Can you imagine how many pharmaceuticals would be left on the market under those conditions? Can you imagine what it would cost health insurance plans and the government if people who paid for their own vitamins and supplements instead used products that are covered by insurance policies and government programs?
Is the day going to come when I'll have to go to Canada to purchase vitamin pills? Or, is everyone going to be a zombie with the government deciding what pills they should take? Keep in mind that it has already happened with some adolescents and Ritalin.
There are a lot of people who don't sell vitamins who have to keep their officials on their toes about this. As you know, the government thinks they know your health needs better than YOU do.
done. Thanks for posting.
Dr. Whitaker has a vested interest in selling unregulated supplements. And I don't by his hysterical argument about the FDA pulling vitamin C off the shelf because someone gets diahhrea.
So go ahead and support Hillary Care, this bill will hurt the free market and the consumer, like me and 70 million Americans, who takes these products. Who cares about Whitaker besides you?
Your argument is no different than the standard leftist blah blah about any person or business that argues that regulation of its business is a bad idea. 'Well, they have a financial interest.' So rich people complaining about taxes should be ignored because of their financial interest. Farmers complaining about environmental regulations should be ignored, etc.
As to your 'hysteria' argument, you should read up on the history of the FDA's attempts to regulate supplements. It reads like a little slice of Brave New World. It's like a poorly publicized ATF during the Clinton administration. FDA cops swooping down on warehouses of Vitamins that have labels they haven't approved etc etc etc. It's happened many times.
The most important question is: is there a compelling argument that we should give another robust and successful American industry over to the tender ministration of the Feds. I have never seen any good argument that the Feds would make things any better. Given goverment track records, it will probably make things worse.
In the case of the FDA, its even worse than the typical regulators. It's a classic case of an agency that is owned by the regulatees. Many FDA officials are former large pharmaceutical company executives. Most FDA officials go onto lucrative jobs with large pharmaceutical companies.
The result is that the FDA prevents any new competition with the existing large pharmaceutical companies with absurdly expensive testing regimes that force smaller pharmaceutical companies to license the big ones in order to get thru the testing for FDA approval.
The supplement market is creating thousands of jobs in America with a much better record of safety than the pharmaceutical industry. The feds should keep their hands off.
Well what do you know, a bunch of gun-grabbers going after another slice of our freedom. Somehow, I'm not surprised.
David Kesslers Legacy at the FDA
Where the hell does the Constitution say "Congress shall have the right to make laws determining which vitamins and supplements are suitable for consumption by American citizens, and the right to deem disfavored substances harmful, and the right to ban such substances from the open market"?
I must have missed that clause.
I must have missed that clause. >>
Yea, me too, some day we will return to the great constitutional republic our forefathers designed and followed.
WOD Ping
I have a right to use vitamins?! The fact that this group is adding yet another imaginary right is good enough reason not to sign.
Unless the Constitution expressly gives the government overisight, then yes, you do have the right to use vitamins.
No, that kind of thinking is how the whole "penumbra concept" BS got started. While I agree that this is unconstitutional interference in interstate trade that oesn't mean I have a right to use vitamins, what it means is the government doesn't have a right to try to crush this industry. Important difference.
Most people believe the Constitution works the opposite way. That is, if the right is not expressly listed in the Consitution, then the people don't have it. Understandable, since in reality that is how it has come to work over the years.
So there are no such things as "inalienable" rights?
There such things as inalienable rights, using vitamins ain't on that list.
Not ALL rights are listed in the Constitution that is why they put in the vague 9th amendment (unnamed rights not listed) which became the bellwether for the Roe vs.. Wade decision with the "right to privacy".
And those rights NOT enumerated in the Bill of Rights are then left up to the STATES and NOT for Hillary and the US Congress, 10th amendment states' rights.
There are 70 million of us who have done just very well taking supplements without Hillary and the Congress watching over us. I think we can survive without them.
I don't have a problem with the suppliment industry, I don't have a problem with trying to stop this bill. What I have a problem with is people adding "rights" willie-nillie. As we both pointed out, that's how we got this "right to privacy" concept that somehow includes abortion. It's bad logic and a bad argument that leads to future troubles.
Pragmatically speaking, of course, it doesn't matter. The Feds will do whatever they want, whenever they want.
Buying, owning, and wearing white boxers isn't on the list either. What is your point?
They were never added, they always existed as non-enumerated.
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
I'm eager to find out what my inalienable rights are, and why they don't include taking vitamins. (I hope they include eating food.)
Wow! Cool.
Hey, Wolfie, is that an unalienable right like the unalienable right to do drugs and the unalienable right to own a machine gun?
Dr. Whitaker (and others) have an interest in selling vitamins. I have an interest in having them available to take. The vitamin industry pales in comparison to the pharmaceutical companies for the amount of money they want to control.
One man's ephedra may be viewed either positively or negatively by others. I think he should have the freedom to make the choice himself - w/o government control except for the purity of whatever supplement it claims to be.
"The origins of the ninth amendment can be traced to the debate surrounding the ratification of the Constitution. The Antifederalists, who opposed ratification, concentrated much of their attack on the absence of a bill of rights. Although many Antifederalists were probably more concerned with defeating the Constitution than with obtaining a bill of rights, they repeatedly pressed this charge because it struck a responsive cord with the people. The Federalists who supported ratification, such as Alexander Hamilton and James Wilson, gave two answers to this complaint."
"First, they said that a bill of rights was unnecessary. Because the federal government was one of enumerated and limited powers, it would have no power to violate the rights of the people. "Why, for instance," asked Hamilton, "should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed?" Second, they argued that a bill of rights would be dangerous. Enumerating any rights might suggest to later interpreters of the Constitution that the rights not specified had been surrendered. An enumeration of rights could thereby lead to an unwarranted expansion of federal power and a corresponding erosion of individual rights."
The Rights Retained by The People [and the presumption of liberty]
Life liberty persuit of happiness speech assembly religion bear arms freedom from unwarranted search and seizure... come on guys these are no brainers, you have read the Declaration of Independance and the Bill or Rights.
My point is that making up sillie rights is how we've gotten stuck with right to abortion and right to homosexual marriage. If you want to stop a stupid bill (which I'm all for) don't do it with a falcious argument that makes up some previously never before seen "right" which could have some pretty annoying consequences down the road.
I know the whole "shall not be infringed" thing confuses you...
Well great, then by that logic there are penumbra concepts and Roe v Wade was right. Of course since we all know there aren't any penumbra concepts and Roe v Wade was garbage then obviously you're interpreting the 9th and 10th too broadly.
Thanks for playing...
Those are some of the enumerated rights.
Non-enumerated rights are explicity recognized and afforded protection under the Constitution via the 9th Amendment.
Roe V Wade was WRONG as it created judicial Law. Something forbidden as it is not listed as a Federal Power. Abortion is a States issue. As are most murder cases. And Marriage. And Drugs. And ....
No, making up idiotic rights that don't really exists is silly. I've said multiple times stopping this law would be a good thing, just do it the right way instead of the leftist way of making crap up.
Thanks for twisting my words into something they're not, it shows you're wrong.
But non-enumerated rights do NOT include any stupid damn thing some bozo decides to make up off the top of his head. You do not now, never have before, and God willing never will, nave a right to take vitamins. No such right exists in a society that actually knows what the word "right" means. The next step after deciding there's some right to take vitamins is making up a duty of the government to provide vitamins, that way lies leftist stupidity. Stop the madness and block the law with things that actually exist, like the fact that this law is entirely outside the limitations to the federal government listed in he Constitution. Stop bad laws with smart things not with moronic made up rights.
My points always elude you, don't they? I'll try again. Is it an unalienable right?
"Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" sounds like the mother of all penumbras to me. Of course, it might be countered by that mother of all Governmental powers, "To Promote the General Welfare".
Government has specific powers. Granted to them by us. This isn't one of them.
No. Your "points" always come across like big government communist bullsh*t to me.
Yeah and if we push through the idea that there's a right to take vitamins that the government dare not interfere with that would also be creating judicial law. I agree vitamins are not something the fed should be considering, but just because the fed shouldn't be messing with something doesn't mean you have a right to it, it just means it's not in the thankfully small list of stuff the fed should be messing with as listed in the Constitution.
While the 10th Amendment is self explanatory (all powers not delegated are prohibited), the 9th Amendment needs logical parameters spelled out to determine its scope. And the fickle and changing whims of SCOTUS are not a legitimate method of doing so.
I prefer use the stated purpose of our government as a logical guide to the scope of the 9th:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
As abortion violates the rights of another (life), it is not consistent with the legitimate purpose of our government and does not warrant 9th Amendment protection.
Taking vitamins violates no one's rights. Therefore it falls under the 9th Amendment. Even if it didn't, the 10th Amendment forbids federal involvement (not that the fed cares).

Sea Life and Other Attractions in Digha
The MARC or Marine Aquarium and Research Center came into existence in 1989. This was part of the Seventh Five Year Plan that was supposed to transform the area into a great tourist center. Visitors are advised to make use of the facilities that are given as part of the package. For example the Mandarmoni hotels booking brochure may contain tips on the hot spots that must not be missed. The MARC center is meant to display the biodiversity that is typical of the region. The research element tends to involve the local people. Therefore this is a unique setting with a development model that can become sustainable in the long run.
The lessons for tourists who are interested in marine life
There is an in-built marine aquarium that is part of the MARC complex. This includes a water circulation system which uses modern filtration systems. There are two tanks with different sizes. The first is the split into 24 units which measure roughly 15' by 10' by 10'. The second phase that is referred to in the Mandarmoni hotels booking brochure consists of 8 fresh water units. They measure 3' by 2' by 2' each. Some compressed air is included in the package in order to create realistic atmospheric changes. There is light and controlled water flows. All the modern conservation methods are encouraged in order to preserve this critical resource for the people that live within the locality.
On a daily basis the centers receive hundreds of visitors. The Digha Beach hotels are noted for their hospitality and it is not surprising that many foreign tourists are looking at this as the preferred destination if they want to have a good time. The center is open to the public on all working days from 9.30am right up to 6pm local time. This is ample time for you to take the family on a trip of a lifetime. If that does not interest you then you may try the Lord Shiva Temple which is found at Chandaneswar. This is near the conurbations of Orissa and Bengal. It is estimated that about 500,000 pilgrims attend the temple which is found at Maha Vishuva Sankranti and Gajan Mela.
If you are staying in one of the Digha Beach hotels then you may decide to visit Junput which is 40km away from Digha and is well known for its fishing facilities. Weekends are the only busy times for Shankarpur. Therefore you can use the time frame to relax before the other people come in to spoil the atmosphere. Keen photographers will find plenty of opportunities in the landscape.
The Digha Beach hotels offer excellent facilities as well as guidance on how to enjoy all these attractions. Make sure that you are conversant with the New Digha hotels booking process before you travel especially when it comes to vacancies.

The change, identified by the polling organisation MORI, is part of a deep-seated global shift in values which observers argue will act as a brake on the world economy. A quarter of a century ago, the proportion of so-called "post-materialists" in Britain was only one in 20.
For the first time, there are also more post-materialists than "materialists" - people who attach a high personal value to economic issues - in the British population. Only 15 per cent class themselves as materialists.
The findings have emergedfrom preliminary work by MORI for the world values survey, which will begin this autumn and cover 45 countries and about three-quarters of the world's population. MORI is handling the analysis of data in the UK.
The shift to post-materialism in Western society has been described as the "silent revolution." It appears to accompany urbanisation and industrialisation and is strongly linked to environmental awareness, a more tolerant sexual outlook and a rejection of consumerist lifestyles.
However, the post-materialists may be bad news for governments, since they appear to form an important part of Britain's new "culture of protest". They are, for example, much more dissatisfied with the political status quo and much more likely to campaign against it.
Economically they are also strong supporters of the "feelbad" tendency. More than a third of post-materialists, for example, feel that economic conditions will deteriorate.
According to Bob Worcester, chairman of MORI, this may be because they appreciate the environmental limits to economic growth; but he argues that such attitudes are already "dampening" the prospects for a consumption- led economic rebound.
Alongside the growth in post-materialism, international studies by MORI and others have identified what it calls "Euro-American currents". These include a decline in confidence in large institutions, decreased dependence on the state, a preference for small, flexible, grassroots organisations and a tendency for social change to be "bottom-up, not top-down" - initiated by people rather than institutions. Post-materialists are, for example, happier at the prospect of flexible working and having several jobs in a lifetime. Materialists want a job for life.

Command on the Western Front : The Military Career of Sir Henry Rawlinson 1914-1918 Paperback
by Robin Prior, Trevor Wilson
This is a history of World War I, seen through the eyes of Sir Henry Rawlinson, a middle-ranking commander who frequently acted under General Haig.
By examining Rawlinson's role in the War, the authors are able to follow the actual events of the battlefield and show how they related to the strategies of the High Command.
Rawlinson kept a diary in which he recorded his views on tactics and the day-to-day events of the conflict.
The authors use the content of the diary as the basis of detailed discussions on night attacks, poison gas, the introduction of the tank, hurricane bombardment and creeping barrages.
Command on the Western Front is not a biography, nor is it psychohistory.
Rather, it uses Rawlinson as a lens through which to study the tactics of the time - tactics that usually proved woefully inadequate in dealing with the defensive positions that characterized industrial warfare.

Designed for long life, it's been tested at one million actuations. The switch independently clicks through three microprocessor-controlled intensity light modes and a strobe mode. Compact and extremely powerful, the Stinger LED rechargeable flashlight offers the latest in power LED technology.
Bright and Powerful LED
The Stinger LED flashlight features a powerful LED that provides bright, long-lasting light. An LED is ideal for lights that are used often and over an extended period of time. No need to worry about breaking the light, since there is no glass or filament. LEDs rarely need to be replaced because they can last a lifetime. Save time and money on batteries as well, because they will last much longer with an LED than with a regular light bulb. The C4 LED is impervious to shock and has a 50, 000-hour lifetime. With optimized electronics that provide regulated intensity, C4 technology provides powerful illumination. Its specially engineered deep-dish parabolic reflector produces a tight beam with optimum peripheral illumination.
Three Light Modes and Strobe
Streamlight's Stinger LED flashlight provides three lighting modes (high beam, medium beam, low beam) and a strobe:
- High for a bright super-bright beam, featuring 350 lumens, 24, 000 candela peak beam intensity, 310-meter beam distance, and a run time of 2 hours
- Medium for bright light and longer run times, featuring 175 lumens, 12, 000 candela peak beam intensity, 219-meter beam distance, and a run time of 3.75 hours
- Low for light without glare and extended run times, featuring 85 lumens, 6, 000 candela peak beam intensity, 155-meter beam distance, and a run time of 7.25 hours
- Strobe runs 5.5 hours
Built to Last
Durably constructed for use in extreme conditions, the Stinger LED flashlight is crafted from solid, 6000 series machined aircraft-grade aluminum. It is IPX4 water-resistant and 1-meter impact resistance tested, and features a nonslip, rubberized grip for increased comfort.

Introducing our new, more efficient Arduino shield inspired desks. Chairs sold separately.
I used one of these in a project a while back and I was having trouble programming the chip, I could only program it while using a friend's Uno board and constantly borrowing his was not an option. I was using the Breakout Board for FT232RL USB to Serial (BOB-00718) to attempt to program the chip, but I kept getting errors. I eventually resolved the problem by placing a 0.1uF capacitor between the RTS pin of the FT232RL board and the reset pin of the atmega328. Maybe this will help or at least lead you in the right direction.
No public wish lists :(

The Swap-O-Matic in Brooklyn Is a Vending Machine That Lets You Trade Old Stuff for New Wares
by Diane Pham, 05/25/12
Turn all your unwanted clothes, gadgets and knick-knacks into cool new treasures with the Swap-O-Matic, a vending machine that allows users to swap and trade, rather than buy. Designed by New York City-based Lina Fenequito, the Swap-o-Matic was created as a fun way to get people to shift from unconscious over-consumers into more sustainably aware citizens who reuse and barter – all for free!
Using the Swap-O-Matic is quite simple. As the site states: "Each of the donated items in the machine is free and there is no charge for using the Swap-O-Matic. The basic currency for a transaction is a "credit". Credit is earned when the user donates an item, and a credit is required to retrieve an item from the machine. All new users receive 3 credits to start. Users can donate, receive, or swap using the touch screen interface on the front of the machine. Other features, such as a user flag system, are included to prevent misuse and provide occasional curation of the machine."
A user account can be created by simply entering an email address via the screen. Once an account is set up, the Swap-O-Matic furnishes the user with credit that can be applied immediately or saved. Patrons can earn more credits by donating items to the machine.
If you're looking to give the Swap-O-Matic a whirl, it's currently taking up residency at the Ample Hills Creamery in Brooklyn, NY. If you want to support this project and see it spread across country — a.k.a. to a city near you — donate to the Swap-O-Matic Kickstarter campaign.

9 Ropes and Knots
2 Objectives (1 of 3) Describe the differences between life safety rope and utility rope. List the three most common synthetic fiber ropes used for fire department operations. Describe the construction of a kernmantle rope. Describe how to use rope to support response activities. 9
3 Objectives (2 of 3) Describe how to clean and check ropes. Describe how to record rope maintenance. List the reasons for placing a life safety rope out of service. Describe the knot types and their usage in the fire service. 9
4 Objectives (3 of 3) Describe how to tie safety, half hitch, clove hitch, figure eight, figure eight on a bight, figure eight with a follow-through, bowline, and sheet bend or Becket bend knots. Describe the types of knots to use for given tools, ropes, or situations. Describe hoisting methods for tools and equipment. 9
5 Introduction Ropes are widely used in the fire service. May be your only means for rescue Ropes and knots are an important part of training. A fire fighter must be able to tie simple knots accurately and without hesitation. 9
6 Types of Rope Two primary types of rope are life safety and utility. Life safety –Used solely for supporting people –Must be used anytime a person is supported whether in training or in an actual emergency Utility –Used in most cases when it is NOT necessary to support a person, such as hoisting or lowering tools 9
7 Life Safety Rope Never used as utility rope Must be used when supporting the weight of one or more persons NFPA 1983 specifies design, construction, and performance criteria. Types –One-person rope has a weight limit of 300 lb. –Two-person rope has a total weight limit of 600 lb. 9
8 Personal Escape Rope Used only for self-rescue in an extreme situation Designed for the weight of one person only Its purpose is to provide fire fighters with an escape method in a life-threatening emergency. Should be replaced after one use Always have an escape route and use the rope only as a last resort. 9
9 Utility Rope Is not used to support the weight of a person. Used for hoisting, lowering, and securing tools and equipment Requires regular inspection Must not be used where life safety rope needed Do not use life safety rope as a utility rope. Tagging recommended for easy identification 9
10 Rope Materials Ropes can be made of many types of materials. Earliest ropes were made from natural vines woven together Now ropes are made of synthetic material. Different materials are used for different situations. 9
11 Natural Fiber Ropes Natural fiber ropes were often made of manila. –Fibers woven together –Various lengths twisted together for strands Current use for utility, not life safety tasks Disadvantages –Subject to mildew and deterioration –May absorb 50% of their weight in water –Very difficult to dry 9
12 Synthetic Fiber Rope Nylon first manufactured in 1938 Synthetic fibers have been used for ropes ever since. Types –Nylon –Polyester –Polypropylene –Polyethylene 9
13 Advantages of Synthetic Fiber Rope Stronger than natural fibers Use fibers that run the entire length of the rope for greater safety and strength More resistant to rotting and mildew More resistant to melting and burning Less absorbent and can be washed and dried Some will float on water 9
14 Disadvantages of Synthetic Fiber Rope Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light, strong acids, or alkalis can damage the rope. Highly susceptible to abrasions and cutting 9
15 Synthetic Rope and Life Safety Life safety rope is always synthetic. NFPA 1983 specifies: –Continuous filament, virgin fiber –Block creel construction: no knots or splices Fiber comparison –Nylon is most common –Polyester is second most common –Polypropylene is lightest; good for water rescue, but not for life safety 9
16 Rope Construction There are several types of rope construction. The best choice depends on specific application. 9
17 Twisted Rope Construction (1 of 2) Also called laid ropes Made of individual fibers twisted into strands Strands are twisted to make the rope. Both natural and synthetic fibers can be twisted. 9
18 Twisted Rope Construction (2 of 2) Exposes all fibers to abrasion Twisted ropes stretch and are prone to unraveling. 9
19 Braided Rope Construction Strands are woven like hair braiding. Exposes all of the strands to abrasion Synthetic fibers are most commonly used. Fibers stretch but not prone to twisting Double-braiding can protect inner core. 9
20 Kernmantle Rope Construction (1 of 2) Consists of two parts: the kern and the mantle Kern is the center core and provides 70% of rope's strength. Mantle is the sheath- like braided covering that protects kern from dirt and abrasion. 9
21 Kernmantle Rope Construction (2 of 2) Kern and mantle are synthetic but may be different materials. Each fiber in the kern extends the entire length of the rope. Provides a very strong and flexible rope that is thin and lightweight Well-suited for rescue work 9
22 Dynamic and Static Rope Construction Dynamic –Designed to be elastic and stretches under load –Usually used by mountain climbers Static –Will not stretch under load –More suitable for rescue situations Difference due to the fibers used and the construction method Many rope rescue teams carry both. 9
23 Dynamic and Static Kernmantle Rope Dynamic is constructed with overlapping or woven fibers in the core; when loaded, the fibers pull tighter, giving elasticity. Static is constructed with all fibers parallel to each other, little elasticity, and limited elongation when loaded. 9
24 Rope Strength (1 of 2) Rated for specific amounts of weight under NFPA 1983 Minimum breaking strength based on loading of 300 lb person with safety factor of 15:1 Safety factor allows for knots, twists, abrasions, and other causes Also considers shock loading A personal escape rope is designed for a 300 lb person with a safety factor of 10:1. 9
25 Rope Strength (2 of 2) 9
26 Technical Rescue Ropes often used to access and extricate individuals Several hardware components may also be needed. Carabiner secures and connects lines. 9
27 Harnesses (1 of 2) Harness used to secure a person to a rope or object –Ladder belt harness secures fire fighter to a ladder –Seat harness supports fire fighter during rescues –Chest harness supports fire fighter on life safety rope Harnesses must be cleaned and inspected regularly. 9
28 Harnesses (2 of 2) Class III harness (chest) Class II harness (seat) 9
29 Rope Rescue (1 of 3) Most involve people trapped in normally inaccessible locations Rescuers often have to lower themselves using anchors, webbing, ropes, and carabiners. 9
30 Rope Rescue (2 of 3) Person may have to be lowered or raised to safety. Extreme cases could even involve using a helicopter. 9
31 Rope Rescue (3 of 3) The type and number of ropes used will depend on the situation. –A primary rope is used by the rescuer. –A secondary rope is used as a belay (safety) on the rescuer. –Additional lines may be needed for the trapped individual. 9
32 Trench Rescues Often are complicated and require a number of skills –Shoring –Air quality monitoring –Confined space operations –Ropes Ropes are often used to remove the trapped person. 9
33 Confined Space Rescue May take place in locations such as tanks, silos, or storm drains Often difficult to extricate victim due to poor ventilation and limited entry/exit Often very complex 9
34 Water Rescue The simplest situation may involve using a throw bag. More complex situations may require ropes across the stream with a boat tethered to it and maneuvered by ropes and pulleys. 9
35 Rope Maintenance All ropes require proper care. Maintenance is essential for life safety rope. Four parts to maintenance: –Care –Clean –Inspect –Store 9
36 Care Protect from sharp and abrasive surfaces. Protect from heat, chemicals, and flame. Protect from rubbing against another rope. Avoid prolonged sunlight exposure. Never step on a rope. Follow manufacturer's care guidelines. 9
37 Clean (1 of 2) Use mild soap and water for synthetic fibers. Use a rope washer with a garden hose. 9
38 Clean (2 of 2) May be able to use a mesh bag in a front-loading washer Use a mild detergent and NO bleach. Do not pack or store wet or damp. –Air dry but not in direct sunlight. –Do not use a mechanical dryer. 9
39 Rope Inspection (1 of 2) Inspect life safety rope after each use and on a regular schedule when unused. Inspect visually looking for cuts and damage as you run it through your fingers. 9
40 Rope Inspection (2 of 2) Life safety rope that can no longer be used must be destroyed. –Sometimes, can be downgraded to utility rope if clearly marked Maintain record for life safety rope. 9
41 Storing Rope (1 of 2) Avoid temperature extremes and keep out of sunlight. Keep away from fumes of gasoline, oils, and hydraulic fluids. Use a separate apparatus compartment away from fuels. 9
42 Storing Rope (2 of 2) Do not place any heavy objects on the rope. Use rope bags to protect and store the rope. If shock loaded, inspect and consider removing from service. 9
43 Knots Knots are prescribed ways of fastening ropes and webbing to objects or each other. Fire fighters must know how and when to use knots. Knots are used for multiple purposes including hitches, loops, bends, and safety. Knots in rope reduce rope load-carrying capability by certain percentages. 9
44 Knot Terminology (1 of 4) Working end –Used in forming knots Running end –Used in lifting or hoisting Standing part –Between the working and the running end 9
45 Knot Terminology (2 of 4) Bight –Reverse direction to form "U" bend 9
46 Knot Terminology (3 of 4) Loop –Makes a circle in the rope 9
47 Knot Terminology (4 of 4) Round turn –Makes a loop with parallel ends 9
48 Eight Basic Fire Service Knots Figure eight with a follow-through Bowline Sheet bend or Becket bend Safety knot (overhand knot) Half hitch Clove hitch Figure eight Figure eight on a bight 9
49 Safety Knot (1 of 2) Also called an overhand or keeper knot Secures the leftover working end to standing part Guards against loosening or untying 9
50 Safety Knot (2 of 2) Always used to finish other knots Tied as an overhand knot in the loose end around the standing part Secures loose end to prevent slippage 9
51 Hitches Wrap around an object Used to secure working end to a solid object or to tie a rope to an object before hoisting it 9
52 Half Hitch Not intrinsically secure; used with other knots Used to align object handles with rope 9
53 Clove Hitch Attaches rope to a round object Attaches hoisting rope around an object Attaches anywhere in rope Can be tied open or around an object 9
54 Loop Knots Used to form a loop in the end of a rope Loops may be used for hoisting tools, securing a person, or for identifying the end of a stored rope. Will not slip easily but are easy to untie Includes –Figure eight family of knots –Bowline 9
55 Figure Eight Basic knot used to produce a family of other knots Seldom used alone 9
56 Figure Eight on a Bight Creates a loop at the working end of a rope Used to attach rope to a fixed object or around a person Loop may be any size in diameter 9
57 Figure Eight with a Follow-Through Used when the working end must be wrapped around an object or passed through an opening Also used to tie two ropes together 9
58 Bowline Forms a loop to secure the rope end to an object or anchor point Designed for tying to objects, not people 9
59 Sheet Bend or Becket Bend Used to join two ropes together Can join two ropes of unequal size Can join rope to a chain 9
60 Methods of Knot Tying Find a method and use it all the time. Your department may require a specific method. You should be able to tie knots while wearing gloves, in the dark, and behind your back. 9
61 "Dressing" a Knot Knots are "dressed" by tightening and removing twists, kinks, and slack. Firmly finish in a fixed position Makes for easy inspection Always secure loose ends with safety knot to avoid accidental release of primary knot. 9
62 Knot Tying Practice Skills can be quickly lost without practice. Consider practicing while on the telephone or watching TV. 9
63 Hoisting Equipment In an emergency, you may have to raise or lower tools and equipment. Important that the object is properly secured Coworkers must be able to quickly remove the object. When lowering, be sure no one is under the object. 9
64 Hoisting an Axe Place in vertical position with head down. Use a figure eight or a clove hitch on the head. Use half hitches along the handle. Keep the handle parallel to the rope. 9
65 Hoisting a Pike Pole Hoist in a vertical position for immediate use when untied. Secure the clove hitch close to the pole head. Half hitches keep the handle parallel to the rope. Secure the pole with second clove hitch. Leave length for a tag line. 9
66 Hoisting a Ladder Hoist in a vertical position. Attach a tag line for control. Retract hooks on all roof ladders. Tie a figure eight on a bight for a secure hoist and easy release. 9
67 Hoisting a Charged Hose Line It is preferable to hoist a dry hose line. Water weight makes hoisting difficult. Secure the nozzle in a closed position. Secure with clove hitch, half hitch, and safety. For easy release: remove tension, and slip the bight over the nozzle. 9
68 Hoisting an Uncharged Hose Line Fold the hose back on itself, with the nozzle on top. Hoist the hose with the fold at the top and the nozzle pointing down. Uses a half hitch at the fold and a clove hitch at the nozzle. To avoid weight drag, pull up sufficient hose before release. 9
69 Hoisting an Exhaust Fan or Power Tool Use the same technique as for tools with strong, closed handles. Secure handles with a figure eight with a follow-through, and use half hitches for balance. Hoist power saws level to avoid leaks. 9
70 Hoisting Tips Practice hoisting the actual tools used in your department. You should be able to hoist tools automatically and in adverse conditions. Always use utility rope for hoisting tools and equipment. 9
71 Summary (1 of 3) Ropes and knots are widely used in fire service. Two primary types of fire service rope: –Life safety –Utility Ropes are made from many types of materials. 9
72 Summary (2 of 3) There are several types of rope construction. Life safety rope is designed to carry a specific amount of weight. Ropes are often used in technical rescue incidents. All ropes require proper care. 9
73 Summary (3 of 3) Knots are used to fasten rope to objects or each other. Fire fighters must know how to raise and lower tools and equipment using ropes and knots. 9

NH1 First Alert Weather: Expect a few showers, storms before weekend warmth
NH1 Chief Meteorologist
Drier comfortable air is in place, but we are watching a strong short wave which will be sliding down from Canada Wednesday with a trough in place across New England Wednesday. This wave will provide lift and cooler air aloft to provide instability to help trigger a few scattered showers and thunderstorms for mid morning into the early afternoon. Early sun will fade to building clouds with the risk of these pop up showers and storms containing some small hail and gusty winds. Late clearing with increasing sunshine by 4 or 5 pm. Highs will be a bit cooler in the 70's
The trough which brought cooler air for Wednesday will pull out of the region towards the Canadian maritimes on Thursday. But, another short wave will follow in Thursday with additional lift and instability. A wave of low pressure will be tracking south of New England. It will come with a batch of rain. There are questions just how far north that the rain will go. The steadiest rain will be in the mid-Atlantic & Southern New England. Southern New Hampshire could be clipped with a few light showers Thursday afternoon. Drier weather is likely across Northern and central New Hampshire. Parly cloudy skies with onshore winds and showers will keep temps cooler near 70-75.
Behind is warm high pressure which will slowly build into the region. Temperatures will creep up through the weekend. The warm ridging gets going on Friday with high temperatures in the Lwr-mid 80s. For Saturday and Sunday the high strengthens and high temperatures will climb to the upper 80's to near 90 Saturday. Lwr-mid 90's will be possible Sunday!
The seabreeze should set up nicely on both weekend days. This will keep temperatures along the immediate coast in the 70s and Lwr 80's while the more inland locations get the big heat. By Monday humidity increases with temperatures still in the 90s making for a very hot and sticky day. A cold front will cross through the region with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible on Tuesday. Possible Heat wave conditions....or at least close to it!

I love how girls in Rimini wear makeup and jewelry in the pool or at the beach without a second thought.
Love the sharpness of this pic and that beautiful texture captured in the water
summer in a picture! :)
She looks incredible, great picture!
She looks so stunning, love the accessories
http://yvespink.wordpress.com -
That smile is full of energy!
Kisses from http://www.withorwithoutshoes.com
Retro fabulous…great shot!
Style at all times.
All HAIL Water Proof Makeup! :)
wow! beautiful smile , cool capture! :)
You mean those women actually get into the pool when they're at the pool?
Molto interessante.-
I doubt they really do, no way.
Do you think she tripped and fell?
Obviously some do. Its not like water ruins anything, you know. Just makes your skin glisten. Even most make up is fairly waterproof now.
Now if they started doing serious laps, I would be surprised. -
Great style! It doesn't have to end at the water's edge!Personally I would like to see more americans that took the time to at least care somewhat about how they appear in public.
Simply stunning!!
XOX, Gap.

Wow pure bliss. I would't wear my jewelry in the pool but I have to admit it looks great.
xx Mira
I agree, seems so playful and carefree life there for sure. Great picture! Love the colors, especially her swimsuit!
yes!! I totally support the jewelry in the pool endeavor. she's beautiful.
Mesmerizing photo! Beautifully done.
i like the necklace! and very well done eyebrows
Hoop earrings, heavy chain necklace, lipstick (probably)… you were around… probably, and I want to stress probably, they knew you were around there with your camera.
very nice foto… follow me in my blog!!!
such a great shot
Very 80ies. Still, I feel uncomfortable, because there seems to be certain pressure to wear make up every second of your life …
Yes, this picture is funny, but she looks weighed down by the make up & heavy jewelry to me, and also like she thinks of herself as being in a fashion ad. It's a bit weird.
Def a great shot!
If she only had a cigarette, the picture would be perfect!
. ……. would it not go soggy?
I think that may have been a joke based on another recent post?
Based on every post where a cigarette can be seen . . .
Maravilhosa. -
Jewellery paired with swimwear applies to Latina women in general. See JLo's picswith Leah Remini posted to Instagram recently- she's practically "bathed" in gold!
The picture is very, very nice. Although, when I look at these kind of pictures I always ask myself- how many of us really go to the beach/pool with lots of jewelry?http://www.payless4brands.com
I love this glamorous look. Too bad I don't have the brows and the waterproof make up to try it myself.
C'mon, you can't tell me this isn't staged. :)
this isn't staged, it is my life. We were hanging out at the pool together with some of my other friends from Rimini. You know I do have friends, right?
Though it could be argued that whenever a camera (or a well-known photographer) enters the picture, it changes things. You may attract those rare people who wear make-up in the pool. Or she may have decided to wear make-up and jewelry because she knew it would make for a great photo.
I know plenty of people who wear make up to the beach. And plenty of pools where people generally just chill, and dress up, and don't do much more then splash around. Seriously, its not like he went to the YMCA, and a woman in make up got in the pool, and started to do laps of the crawl while wearing make up and jewelry. Its a bunch of people getting together at the pool to socialize. get over it.
I am sorry to intervene, but I really think this reply was unnecessarily harsh. I, for, once, think that Rocky Mantle might have thought that you were hanging somewhere fancy (with friends), where maybe a photo shoot was taking place… Just a thought.
Great shot! I love this picture- it really sums up how to look gorgeous whilst being happy in summer. Not a fan of the necklace when swimming, but it is a beautiful piece. The whole pic seems to be bathed in gold :) <3
If her necklace is real gold, I can't understand why she hasn't sunk to the bottom of the pool from the weight!
Gorgeous teeth.. gorgeous smile.. gorgeous face!
The colors, her necklace, the composition…reminds me of a Versace ad from the 90s! So amazing.
Gorgeous shot, but there's no way in hell I would ever wear makeup or jewelry to the pool/ beach! No matter how effortless any woman makes it look, makeup takes time and attention to maintain. No lipstick in the world can withstand a swim, snorkle, and 30 minutes of smacking around a volleyball. The male equivalent is a guy covered in suntan oil. That deep golden brown looks nice, but he doesn't seem like much fun at the beach ;)
Great shot. She bathes in beauty.

Oh, how stupid this looks. Must surely be a publicity shot and not caught in the moment. Anyway – her 'jewels' will turn green!
Sprezzatura – so skillfully captured in this perfect photo. God, I love Italy!
What a beautiful joyful shot!
http://www.theslowpace.com -
Great shot – brings back lovely memories, that look is so typical of what beautiful European ladies do, I miss my homeland! :D
So why don't the rest of us wear jewelry in the pool? Love it and well done!!
I don't like those jewels, just a question of personal taste. But I am sure the make up is not a "made up" thing for the photograph. A lot of women in France do wear make up at the pool, even when swimming many laps! I do (it has to be waterproof of course…)
I think it's ok to wear make up whenever you like it, even when it may seem inappropriate to some.
I am running long distance races and a friend of mine, who will turn 60 very soon, is a very serious runner, and she ALWAYS wear make up and bright red lipstick, even on a night race, even on a mountain race lasting for hours, sometimes days. I think she just looks beautiful, even if she is not a "classical beauty". And besides that, she runs very fast, often ending on the "box" at the finish line! -
Thats an amazing picture. the brightness of the water, her make up, her expression. What a catch.
Brilliant photo! it's so clear. I am going to visit rimini sometime
Brilliant photo- great clarity. I would love to visit Rimini
I love a good dive, and you could not possibly do it wearing jewellry. Nor could I swim any length comfortably dragging chains with me. And imagine if sand got in between you and the necklace. I, myself, prefer a more natural life.
But fine for a glamorous dip in the pool to cool off.
all their jewellery is gold so it wont fade, that's why!
To be fair if you look at her properly makeup wise she is actually just wearing bright lipstick. I go to the Liguria and the women look really glamorous on the beach there too and a lot wear makeup and jewellery. I guess it depends on the place and whether or not it is the norm there.
Fabulous photo!!! Seems like a good place to scavenge for fallen jewelry!
I think she looks beautiful. Italian women wear more jewelry than North American ones, and it looks great.
This is a beautiful photo, but what really makes it for me is not her makeup or jewelry, but her smile.
What an amazing shot

Love this! Italians know how to enjoy summer– this reminds me of all the little nut-brown italian children splashing in the waves in the beaches near Rome. Beautiful.
So great and amazing shot of you, that's why I love your post!
Perfect necklace and earrings and fushia lipstick, this girl just illuminates the swimming pool …
Gorgeous photography Sartorialist! Stunning capture of a summer Dolce Vita and all those colours are just beautiful together.
the person in this picture looks more like a woman rather than a girl.
This is one of my favourite shots from you Scott. I can imagine a thousand scenarios when I look at this picture. It takes me places. It makes my mind travel. And for this, I tip my imaginary hat to you, monsieur le photographe.
That jewelry suits her well, also suits the moment, her beauty, sun, joy, laughter… Her makeup is fantastic. Great shot.
why is girls wearing wear makeup and jewelry in a pool or at the beach something to love? i think you have weird thoughts about women.
why is girls wearing makeup and jewelry in a pool or at the beach something to love? i think you have strange ideas about women and what is to be admired about women.
And what's there to love? Should we dress up for mountain trips or daily runs as well? The picture is beautiful. I have a problem with comprehending the comment, though.
Oh no, beautiful colours to look at, oh no, a photograph that reminds us of warmth and Summer memories, oh no, retro jewellery that inspires, oh no, someone playing dress ups or not and being able to do it in water to let us fantasise or inspire us to play around more… Oh no we couldn't possibly just enjoy these could we…
Oh no! Beautiful colours that we enjoy looking at.
Oh no! Retro jewellery that inspires us.
Oh no! Scenery, that reminds us of warmth and amazing Summers.
Oh my gosh!! People dressing up and feeling fabulous poolside.
Oh no!! People creating glamorous moments not everyone gets to see enough off these days
Oh no… we couldn't possibly just sit back and enjoy the boldness of this photo, seriously just enjoy, flick through Poolside with Slim Aarons and try not enjoy the glamour, make up or no make up, jewellery or no jewellery, So much more fun to see boldness even if its not your thing -
Beautiful shot, love the decadence and joie de vivre.
I am italian and i always wear makeup at the pool or at the beach, so, nothing strange, even if its not what most women do
Yes, she looks very beautiful. But while reading your comment I could not help thinking that if you put next to her a natural beauty, with no make up, no accessories, she would definitely overshadow her. All that glisters is not gold, and a flower will always look more inviting and charming than a golden necklace.

Dictionary of Literary Biography on Rene Marques
Playwright, short-story writer, novelist, and essayist, René Marqués was the most gifted and internationally visible member of the group of Puerto Rican writers of the 1950s that the poet Juan Antonio Corretjer called the "Desperate Generation." Marqués raised the technical standards of each of the genres he cultivated, and he set the tone for much of the prose writing of his generation. The tone of that writing was generally one of existential anguish and profound anxiety, permeated by a nostalgia for the vanishing (and idealized) rural way of life. Invoking the works of existentialist thinkers from Miguel de Unamuno to Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre, Marqués produced a violent, tragic vision of Puerto Rican culture, which left a significant imprint in the Puerto Rican literature of the 1950s and 1960s. Throughout these two decades Marqués was the dominant literary...

Flavio Dino Named New Embratur President
Brazil Tourism Board names its new president
The Brazil Tourism Board (Embratur) named Flavio Dino, a former federal congressman, as its new president, succeeding Mário Moysés. Named to the new post at a June 29 ceremony, Dino will seek to continue the expansion of the country's tourism offerings, said Pedro Novais, Brazil's minister of tourism.
"Dino is here to enhance and carry on Embratur's work to promote tourism," Novais said. "Brazil has become a tourism leader in South America. This shows that our work is on the right path," said Dino. Embartur's initiatives are highlighted by the Aquarela Plan, an international tourist marketing strategy that outlines goals and objectives for the next decade, with a focus on five key segments -- sun and beach, eco-tourism, culture, sports and business/events. The plan also calls for a "closer evaluation of Brazil's status and perception" following the country's hosting of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, and stipulates goals for inbound foreign visitors and international revenue through 2020.
"We have already obtained good results, but for Brazil to reach an even higher level of awareness, we need to channel more and more resources toward international promotion, touristic infrastructure and investment," said Moysés.

Chalk Chook
A few weeks ago, Mel from Chalk Chook emailed to ask if she could send me a little something in the post. Mel is a friend of a friend who recently started her own business making and selling beautiful handcrafted chalk. A box addressed to my girls arrived containing three special little gift-wrapped packages, each filled with an array of colourful, vibrant stars, fish, motor cars and love hearts.
We don't have a lot of pavement here at our country home, and not a footpath to speak of in the village. In Sydney, our entire backyard was patio. Here, we have lovely, lovely (muddy, fast-growing) grass. But the girls got busy on the small stone pathway out the front and created a few masterpieces. The chalk is so much smoother and easier to use than the normal pavement chalk, and the colours are brilliant. They chalked up a storm, and when the rain arrived that night, it was all washed away leaving not a trace. If only that were the case with the indoor art and craft sessions we have here...
With my little pair's birthday party approaching, I contacted Mel and put in an order for 25 individually wrapped twin-packs - butterflies for the butterfly party, you see. They arrived a few days later, each tied up with string, a little note tucked into each - "With love from Stella and Pearl." Party favours sorted, and I barely had to lift a finger, let alone spend a few hours stuffing sugar and plastic into lolly bags the night before the big day. And I can't tell you how pleased both the kids and their mums were upon receiving a little sugar-free take-home gift at the end of the day. Such a good idea, and so easy!
Make sure you head over to Mel's shop and check out the lovely range of Chalk Chook products she has on offer. Just quietly, the dinosaurs are hilarious!
Tiny fine-print disclaimer: I received a big pack of chalk for free with no obligation. I was a full-price paying bona-fide customer - and a very happy one - of the party favours.

Beautiful photos as always Greer. Such a great idea for party favours - I dread all the usual sugary ones that I take off the kids....but often eat myself!! Xx briony
ReplyDelete You've got me thinking about summer. We have a patio area in our back garden and my two cover it (and the walls of the house) in chalk every summer. I love the packaging and shapes of the chalk. So much better than the plastic crap usually put into party bags over here - and I'm as guilty of that as the next person! x

Types of Factoring
There are two main types of business: recourse and non-recourse. The differences between recourse and non-recourse factoring services are comparable to the differences between an automobile with full coverage insurance and a vehicle with limited insurance coverage.
Recourse factoring is like having an automobile with limited insurance coverage – if you get into an accident or damage somebody's property – those charges will come out of your pocket. The tradeoff is that these services are generally much cheaper than obtaining full-coverage insurance. With recourse factoring, if one of your clients defaults on a payment, this money comes out of your own pocket.
With non-recourse factoring, the factor, or insurance company in this analogy, assumes all the risk. When you enter into a non-recourse factoring agreement, the factoring company assumes all financial responsibility for unpaid invoices. While this is a nice advantage to have, just as full-coverage auto insurance is more expensive than basic car insurance, you should expect to pay a lot more money for non-recourse factoring services.
Types of billing
Depending on your industry and your business' setup, you will generally invoice your clients in one of two ways: with progressive billing or non-progressive billing.
Non-progressive billing is the act of invoicing your clients one time for one-time goods or services. This method is less expensive when it comes to securing the services of a factoring company. Companies that collect in installments or require ongoing payments for goods or services use progressive billing. Because progressive billing generally requires more effort and ongoing contact between your client and the factoring company, using a factoring service for accounts that require ongoing payments will require higher fees than the aforementioned group.
