The MCE British Superbikes Championship came to Knockhill Racing Circuit this past weekend. Round five of the Rock Oil sponsored event brought some great results for the supported teams.
Peter Hickman for RAF Reserves BMW picked up a further 13 championship points bringing his total to 44 and placing him 12th in the overall rider standings.
Rock supported Gearlink Kawasaki's Glenn Irwin had a fantastic weekend and took a win in the sprint race on Saturday and a solid third place on Sunday. Luke Hedger on the satellite team gained a sixth and eighth place. Ben Wilson once again was unfortunate to crash out of both races.
Glenn Irwin: "It was really good to fight for the win at Knockhill and once again I feel confident and competitive. The Gearlink Kawasaki team have once again worked really hard to make adjustments and improvements to the bike and I feel we have a great package now. To take the win and fairly is a great feeling and I want to thank everyone involved in making that happen."
Michael Rutter returned to the Gearlink Kawasaki team this weekend riding the Kawasaki ZX-10R, and he made some more improvements to the bike qualifying in 20th position on the grid for the opening race on Sunday. He had a great first race and managed to get the team their first ever Superbike Championship points when he secured 13th place.
Morello Racing enjoyed their best meeting of the year so far in the Pirelli National Superstock 1000cc Championship with Josh Elliott taking his third win of the season and team-mate John Ingram finishing in an equally excellent third.
Josh Elliott: "It's awesome to win again and with both Alastair and Hudson crashing out, I've been able to gain some good points today. My strategy was to get to the front as soon as possible as I was afraid Luke and Michael might get between Alastair and myself, which is exactly what happened! I kept calm though and tried to be as consistent as possible and it paid off. The BMW's were really quick along the straight but once I knew they were both out, I rode my own race, keeping my eye on my pit board, and brought the bike home. We've extended our title lead by a good chunk today and maintaining consistency is what you need to do to win these Championships so we'll keep plugging away."
John Ingram: "I'm absolutely made with today's result and it's the fruition of all our hard work. I've been getting stronger with each and every round, gelling more and more with the bike and the team, so a big thanks to Steve for sticking by me. We've had a bit of bad luck with electrical problems but I think this will be the turning point in our season and whilst I might not be the youngest rider on the grid, I can still give these youngsters a run for their money!"
In Speedway news Rock supported rider Tai Woffinden extended his World Championship lead after finishing fourth in the British Grand Prix. Woffinden fought and achieved 15 points with some excellent racing skills at the Cardiff event, leaving the fourth round 12 points ahead of his nearest rival. Although narrowly missing a victory in the final race, Tai is sure to be happy with a great performance.
Woffinden said: "It doesn't really matter too much about the final, I scored as many points as I needed to and extended my lead in the Championship.
"It obviously would have been nice to win the meeting, but I did what I had to do – I scored plenty of points and points make prizes.
"I'll take that forward now, I'm feeling good about things and I'm in a good position so I'll just keep working hard and hopefully it will pay off at the end of the season."
Wildcard Craig Cook put on a great show and managed to bag seven points on to his current standing. Just shy of a place in the semi finals.
Round six of the MCE British Superbike Championship will be coming to Brands Hatch (hosting its annual 'Big Brands Bash') on Friday 17th July til Sunday 19th July. Including supporting events such as the FIM Sidecar World Championship, Motorpoint British Supersport Championship, Pirelli National Superstock 1000 and 600 Championship and British Motostar. The next Speedway FIM World Championship event occurs on the 18th of July at Daugavpils in Latvia at the Lokomotiv Stadium, with engines starting at 19:00 local time.

The New FICEP Excalibur is the first single spindle gantry drilling line to process beams for the steel construction and fabrication industries using a sub axis for scribing and milling and it also features a tool changer.
A set of machined 9" rolls allow the drilling unit to be cantilevered along the loading table without interfering with drill chips or with anything else on the floor. A rack and pinion system guarantees the drill system's programmed positioning and a laser sensor locates the position of the work piece and activates the working cycle.
The piece to be processed does not move as it is firmly clamped in the drilling position by an automatic hold-down (top and bottom clamping). A second non-contact laser is furnished to automatically shift programmed hole patterns to compensate for mill tolerance deviations.
This simple yet extremely productive solution offers both small and medium sized structural steel fabricators a high performance drill line for a third of the investment of a three spindle line.

The Chickens Visit Christina Wegman in Huntsville, AL
When I read about this project, I immediately knew that I wanted to host TC myself one day. What could be more fun than having Senor Azule and his chicken pals come to visit Huntsville, AL (aka "The Rocket City") for a few weeks to get a portrait done? Soon after my own return to the States from a summer in Germany, he arrived at our door with hen and chicks. He greatly enjoyed visiting my home in one of our lovely Historic Districts and my art studio in Downtown Huntsville. We talked about our travels-- we both like to visit new places and he is quite a charismatic guest. He wanted to be painted larger than life, so I chose to do a 16X20 canvas in water-based oils with a lot of bright colors that would compliment his beautiful feathers. Since I used to work in a purely abstract Expressionistic style before developing more traditional styles for the formal portraits, city scenes, and house paintings that I am often commissioned to do, Senor Azule seemed to like the idea of me paying homage to my roots in his portrait with an abstract background.
The finished piece is available for $275 plus shipping and handling-- Email firstname.lastname@example.com for details. I also post my work regularly on my blog and FB page.

The title of this picture is Orange Endobrume, a low-key take on Endobrume, which is much lighter with quite a different atmosphere to it.
I'd like to chalk any successful art I do up to sheer talent and skill (though 'successful' is a tricky term, being that art is so taste-dependent with no objective good. But let's say it means a piece meets my sense of aesthetic). And further, the ideal trajectory should be: conceive idea > execute > stand back and admire.
The reality is more like: see vague glimmer of idea > execute it as far as it goes > hopefully still see potential > experiment and iterate > get tired eyes and lose all sense of reality > persist and get to a point that looks good > wake up next day horrified you thought that was good, but with fresh eyes informing the next creative decision > repeat process until finished, hopefully with not too many false finishes that need further work along the way.
And throw in the odd serendipitous technical flub that actually leads to a better or alternative direction. That exact thing happened on this picture. Initially the colors were more primary and bold till I noticed my histogram was clipping for a huge area, and had to change it. After trying to replicate the first look but without the technical problems, I noticed the slightly faded, more pastelly look you see here was actually pretty cool, which prompted a whole change of direction.
There's one further version of this composition: White Endobrume, which is black and white, and tonally similar to Endobrume.
Canvases and Giclée Prints
Archival-quality prints of this piece are available. Options include framed and unframed fine art paper and canvases.

I could never understand why people stubbed out their cigarettes when only the white bit was left.(I didn't know that it was not filled with tobacco; but was a filter instead) I thought it was a waste.
top belief!
I think this is because of those chocolate cigarettes you can get, but I used to think that all cigarettes were chocolate. When trying to eat one of my nana's as a child, I still didn't catch on and figured you had to set it on fire to make it taste like chocolate.
top belief!
When i was a little boy, I kept seeing people covering the lighter with their hands while lighting a cigerette. I used to believe they were hiding the fire from me because i was little. I remember always wanting to say, "it's ok, I don't mind the fire".
Little Logic
For some reason, I thought that all people who smoked pipes were ugly and very bad (like child-killer bad). Maybe this was instilled by movies? Not sure, but it was scary.
When I was little, about six or seven, my best girlfriend and I would pick up cigarette butts off the ground and if they had lipstick on them, we would light them and smoke them, believing that women didn't have germs but men did so the lipstick meant they were safe.
I used to think that smoking made you poop because i saw a guy taking a crap and he was smoking. i was 4
I believed that smoking would actually bring girls because i saw it on T.V. i was 5.
When I about 3 or 4, I saw a box of cigarettes and my grandma told me they were cigarettes. I misheard it as 'piglets'.
When I was 5 or 6, maybe 7, there was a smoldering cigarette in the bathroom and I went near it, and I freaked out and thought I was going to die just becuase I went near it.
When I was about 5 or 6 I used to believe that "smoking grass" meant putting a long piece of grass in your mouth the way farmers do.
when i was younger, i thought that when you smoked you just held it in your mouth. i assumed that the taste and smell were what people liked. i had no idea about nicotine. haha i believed this untill one day when i was "smoking" and my older friend corrected me...
I used to think that smoking was good since it was banned in elevators.
top belief!
I used to believe that "second hand smoke" came from smoking two cigarettes at one time, one in each hand. If smoking was bad for you, second hand smoke was worse.
When I was in elementary school, we had the DARE program at school and we were taught a lot of anti-smoking lessons. Therefore, I assumed that because the teachers said that smoking was bad--that meant that no teachers smoked. I was devasted to find out later that my friend's mom (who was a teacher at my elementary school) smoked regularly.
top belief!
When I was little, my parents smoked. I used to hate it when we were in the car and the smoke got in my face. My mom always said that the smoke likes pretty girls. So whenever the smoke got in my face I would try and make ugly faces at it. Needless to say, it didn't work.
top belief!
When I was young and would see people smoking cigarettes outside, i thought the cigarette was to keep their fingers warm.
top belief!
One day in elementary school some guy came by our school to tell us about the dangers of smoking cigarettes. He told us the cig companies put all types of harmful chemicals in the cigarettes. I raised my hand and told him my father's cigarettes were harmless because he grew them and rolled them himself so I knew there weren't any harmful chemicals in them. When I got home and told my mom she made my dad throw out his weed plant.
top belief!
I used to believe that when someone gave something up "cold turkey" it literally meant that they no longer ate cold turkey. I had no idea how that would affect smoking. I did understand vaguely how that would affect weight loss.
I used to think that tobacco was the smoke that stayed inside of the cigarettes until you lit it and the smoke came out.
I used to think that inside a cigarette there are four or five filters in a row that are burnt when smoking. (The tobacco shelfs at shops had transparent bags of filters for roll-your-own cigarettes.) I used to think that people roll their own cigarettes so that they can adjust the lenght of the cigarette by choosing how many filters they use.
I was told that there is nothing good about smoking tobacco. Thus, it did not appear to me that smoking mildly relaxes and alters mood, neither did I know about the addictive potential. Thus, I thought that people smoke because they either do not know that it is bad for you, or alternatively that they are inherently evil, and consequently do things that are bad.

A cyclist on Australia's Sunshine Coast wrote an open letter complaining that police had ignored his complaints about close passing drivers just days before he was killed. Cameron Frewer, who founded the Drive Safe, Pass Wide Facebook page (link is external), lost his life following a collision with a pick-up truck earlier this week.
Yahoo (link is external) reports that Frewer left his home in Little Mountain early on Monday November 5 and was hit on Caloundra Road shortly before 6am. Despite paramedics' attempts to revive him, he died at the scene.
Police are investigating.
Frewer had long maintained that it was only a matter of time before he was involved in a collision.
"The main reason [I film my rides] is to have evidence on record when the day finally comes that I am hit," he said. "Not if. But when."
Frewer was particularly frustrated with the attitudes he encountered within Queensland Police Service (QPS) who he felt were not properly enforcing the state's one-metre passing law.
In a recent open letter, since published in full on news.com.au (link is external), he wrote of his own experiences with QPS.
He said he felt there were, "a large number of police who have the same views towards people riding bikes on public roads as you will find in the comments section on social media."
The letter detailed a number of Frewer's video submissions and the responses he got. He went on to say that he believed he was, "being ignored as a 'pest', or submitting very close overtaking in a frivolous manner."
He continued: "The question I often ask myself is, 'Will bicycles ever be considered vehicles by those entrusted with upholding the states road laws?' Or will the excuses for poor driving, victim blaming and irrelevant comments continue?
"And more particularly, why are officers with little or no understanding of what it feels like to have a motor vehicle come within an arm's length of you on a bicycle (often at high speeds) seen as qualified to make an important decision using their 'discretion'?"

The place was scrubbed clean, and had a buffet against one long wall, where the women would be, and a bar on a table in the corner for the men. The coffin was up on saw horses covered in a black crepe skirt. All was in order, including the casseroles, excepting one thing – no Michael in the box.
People were straggling in and I could see the American coming down the street, and still no Michael. At the last moment, he comes sneaking in through the back stops and stares at the coffin.
"There isn't a moment to lose!" I said coming up behind him and taking his arm.
"If you don't mind," says he. "This is a solemn moment and I need a little time." He jerked his arm away and swayed a little on his feet. I could tell he had made good use of that bottle.
"Michael, this is no time to be philosophical!"
"It's not that, it's just that I did not order such a fine casket." He looked at me, "Two-and-a half quid!"
Donovan, the undertaker walked up. "Mr. Kilkenney, you cannot take such matters lightly. Having not planned ahead for this event, I had to supply you with what was in stock."
Thompkins walked in the door. I made eye contact with Roberta, but she was already on her way over to him. The rest of the girls huddled in the corner whispering and jealous behind her.
"But making me buy it, sir, that is the issue. I will only need it but for a few hours."
"Indeed, and who then would lie in a used coffin? That is not for me to sell. You may if you like."
Michael turned to him, the cords standing out in his neck and raised a finger as surely he was going to raise his voice. I nodded to the boys on either side and they lifted him up and placed him not gently into the coffin which rocked a little on its supports.
"Enough, you two." Donovan stood there looking smug and waxy. And who is to blame him for don't we all shun the dead and those who favor us by dealing with him? Why not exact your payment in gold if you cannot get it in kindness. "I will buy your coffin, Michael, if I go first, which is not likely if you don't lie down and shut up." I reached in and crossed his hands, and then he suddenly snapped shut his eyes. With his red hair and beard, he looked the perfect leprechaun lying there, in his fine new suit.
"So, this is the late, great, Michael Kilkenny, the best fisherman in all of Ireland, and a kind soul of whose merits I've heard nothing but since I have reached town." Thompkins was there behind me staring into the coffin, and Roberta had him by the crook of the arm, looking for all the world like she was on a date. I must say, Mr. Thompkins cut a fine image in his new tailored suit.
"Aye. Cut down before he could do half of the things he intended, a very civic-minded man, said the father, coming up to us."
He wisely steered Thompkins to the bar and Michael let out his breath with a whoosh.
"I thought he would never leave." He said between pressed lips. "I'm as parched as if I was in Hell itself."
With that one of the boys passed in a flask and he had a quick nip.
I could overhear the conversation from the bar. "It's a bit unfortunate that you are so late in the season, Mr. Thompkins. The runs are nearly done."
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe for your traditional wet flies. They have done some tremendous things with the hair wings on the Restigouche late season, especially with the grilses. They may not be big, but you can have a hundred-fish day on them."
Michael actually sputtered. "I won't be having any of those new-fangled American flies in my river. O'Shaunesseys have worked here for over 100 years…" He actually started to sit up and the boys had to restrain him.
Thompkins looked over at the scuffle.
"The hairwing," says Shamus, "perhaps an American concoction would work over there, but here, we like our traditional flies. Blacker wasn't born far from here, and some say he developed his Gaudy flies fishing in these very meadows."
"And no doubt, those flies had some success even on our side of the pond," he used that trivializing American phrase for the Atlantic, like even conquering that was a days outing in paddle boat for the brash young country. "But the hairwing, are more mobile while many of the feather wings are stiff. They pulsate in the current and act alive. They are juicily translucent while many of the feather-wings are opaque."
I heard more commotion behind me and used my body to block the view of the casket.
I heard "Here Michael, have a wee snort, why don't ye?" And things quieted down a bit.
"It matters not, Mr. Thompkins, there is not enough water in the lies for a fly, your fishing opportunities are slim."
"Well, if not enough for a wet fly, A.E.H. Woods proved long ago that Salmon will rise to a dry fly on a greased line."
Michael became apoplectic. "Greased line!" says he so loud the men at the bar all turned in our direction.
"Greased line," I repeated. "Isn't that fished on the swing?"
"A very common misconception, Mr. " Thompkins replied. "Actually, Mr. Woods has made some extreme innovation. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a lecture last year while I was in business in London. According to him you present the fly 'sidling past him and floating downstream' like a dead leaf. He mends obsessively, and regards any pull on the fly as fatal. According to him the fly should be presented just awash, swimming 'in a natural manner; wobbling, rising and falling with the play of the eddies exactly as would an insect, or a little fish which was in trouble.' It's on account of him that I am using the relatively short 12' rod."
"Ah, ah, ah." Michael had lost his ability to speak, and I heard him given just another dram to quiet him down.
"Twelve feet! Who ever heard such a thing?" says I.
"Mr. Lee Wulff recently landed an Atlantic salmon on a dry fly with a 6' rod, and he challenges any man to out fish him on any stream with that rod."
At this point there was such a ruckus behind me that Michael actually fell out of the coffin. The boys acted with alacrity, putting setting up the braces, restoring the crepe and putting the column aright. But as Michael was now under the coffin, they chose the expedient of tossing Jimmy O'Malley into it.
"For a moment, says Donovan, I swear I saw him move. God forgive me my clumsiness.
Thompkins stared over with raised eyebrows.
"A six-foot rod? Mr. Thompkins, you stretch credibility."
"Sir, I tell the truth, and it was on a dry fly no less." I saw somebody kick at the crepe out of the corner of my eye.
"Wood and Halford developed the dry fly technique, but it was the Americans who perfected it. Theodore Gordon of course made them work in America's rough and tumble waters, especially for trout, and Hewitt, La Branche and Monell really made them work for Salmon with the the Colonel Monell, Soldier Palmer, Pink Lady Palmer, and the Mole patterns which Wulff used in his recent success. I plan to try to duplicate these feats on these waters."
"A bold statement sir, to expect to come here and outfish us. Not a fish has been caught in the river in a good three weeks."
Some degree of confinement must've been achieved behind us, because I knew for a fact that Michael had salmon for dinner not this Tuesday last.
"One would think you would've tried the nymphing techniques invented by your countryman G.E.M. Skues. His first book, Minor Tactics of the Chalk Stream, was revolutionary, as was his with The Way of a Trout with a Fly."
"Skues, sir, was English, and his nymphing techniques show the dishonest and low born traits of his heritage." I could see Shamus ball his fists.
"I meant not to offend." Thompkins held his hands up. "I suspect your lack of fish has more to do with over fishing than lack of skill. As Wulff said, 'game fish are too valuable to be only caught once.' I release whatever I catch." Cries of outright disbelief from the croud. I could see the boys standing abreast in front of the coffin back-kicking at the crepe. "I am sure of success in these waters using my techniques."
"Would you be taking a bet sir?" I could not believe the words had come out of my mouth. Here we were needing to keep him off the water at all costs and I had just challenged him to fish. His arrogance had undermined me. The innocence in his grin only redoubled my anger.
"I am, as they say, a betting man."
My mind was racing, but I thought of Michael's nocturnal expeditions and a thought occurred to me. "Sea trout."
"Sea trout? I, ah." I could see I had him now and my plan was simple.
"Are you not up for it?"
"In honesty, I have never fished for the sea run brown, they not being native to the Americas." He beamed a smile. "I do like a challenge, though. When shall we go?"
"Right after the wake," says I. Sea trout ran up the river at night. We would fish him through the night, put him to bed tired and hung over and gain one more day out of sight of the lord.
"Finally," he said. "Fishing. Send your boy around and I'll meet you back here in one hour." Roberta looked like she might either cry or punch him, but he turned without notice and walked out the door.

Edmund fork mounted 8" f/5
#1 Guest_**DONOTDELETE**_*
Posted 20 June 2004 - 10:53 PM
I'm new to the Cloudy Nights forum and I'm excited to announce that I just won a classic Edmund fork mounted 8" f/5 on a certain auction site. I hope it ships sometime next week so I can have first light during my upcoming vacation week.
There's a story behind my quest for one of these scopes. When I graduated from high school in 1985, I was going to get an 8" f/5 as my graduation present. I sent in the order and promptly got a letter back telling me that the 8" f/5 was discontinued and there were none left in stock. I was heartbroken, but I still got an Edmund scope. A local doctor had a 6" f/6 on the German pedestal and willingly sold it to me. That 6" scope served me very well for over a decade and even survived a crash that destroyed my car. I eventually sold it because I had acquired an 8" LX200 (first generation) and didn't use it much. I have many, many fond memories of coming home from college and starhopping my way through the Messier Catalog. There was a guy in my home town who had an Edmund fork mounted 6" f/6 and that's the scope through which I got my VERY first view of M57 in, I believe, 1981. I will never forget it.
Anyway, I promised myself that someday I'd find one of the 8" f/5 scopes and I've finally fulfilled that promise. I know I'll get many good years of viewing out of this scope and using it will bring back some very, very fond memories. I got it for less than half of the original retail price and I'm awaiting a final shipping quote from the seller. I'll be happy to post some photos of it here when I get it up and running.
Next on my list is a Questar 3.5".

If I recall from the Auction description it did not have the manual. The manual was for both tube assemblys, the 6 and 8 inch. If it turns out you need it let me know, I'll scan and email it. Again , congrats, I'm a bit jealous.

I have to say that these fork mounted Newtonians just LOOK really cool.
Posted 22 June 2004 - 09:33 AM
I always drooled over those fork mounted Newts (and lots of other stuff in the Edmund catalog)!
Now you need a complete set of vintage RKE eyepieces and barlow in that cool black plastic case!

As for the RKE's, I have the 28mm that came with the scope and a 12mm RKE and a 9mm Circle T ortho I bought at Edmund at the same time. The industrial optics division Edmund Industrial optics which still hold the copyright/patent? for the RKE still sells them. They were not included in the sale to scientificsonline when Edmund Scientific closed.

Here is a shot of my 1980 Edmund 8 inch fork mounted reflector. There have been a few changes to it from the original. The red phenolic tube is gone as the scope fell over one night while I was pulling on an electrical cord. In the cold it broke easily so I replaced it with a white Parks fiberglass tube. It was a near perfect fit. The red 30mm finder was replaced by a Meade 60 mm short tube refractor. Instead of the original tangent arm screw for declination corrections I have a 2 rpm Edmund dc motor with sprockets and chain to do the corrections off the 12 volt synchronous drive corrector. the tangent arm is still used with this setup. It has the original drive and clutch and takes super astrophotos. I love the off axis guider and have incorporated similar designs into my own personal homebuilt scopes. Astrophotography could not be easier !
The optics are first class and razor sharp. The f/5 makes this a fast scope with a nice field of view. The scope travels well for an 8 inch and sets up fast once you find the threaded hole for the rod that attaches the legs to the fork head. I have found it solid. The polar alignment is made easier by adding threaded rods to the foot pads to slightly adjust the scope after a rough angle setting on the main head. Being a fork it is easy to align to true pole by setting the tube parallel to polar axis rotation by looking through the main eyepiece as you rotate the scope. Once the stars seem to be circling in the center of the eyepiece use a cross hair eyepiece to find polaris and its star field. Use the cross hairs to center on the point where the true pole lies and you are there ! There are maps that show exactly where the pole lies now. This method is better than using a polaris scope as you are actually turning your whole instrument with its greater magnifying power and light grasp into one.

How does that combo focuser work? I'm assuming there is 1 secondary and possibly a series of flats or/and prisms to split the light cone.
Very nice set-up. indeed!

The off axis focuser was an option when I bought the scope. There are small thumb screws that you loosen so as to be able to rotate the whole focuser in order to scan the sky circumferencially. Another thumb screw operates one of two prisms to scan radially for guide stars. One of those two prisms is the pick off prism both of which are located underneath the secondary angled focusing tube. It is very easy to find bright guide stars with such a setup and it is easy to get them centered with the thumbscrews and spring loaded prism.

Day 3 Report - Birsemore Hill
This was probably the first orienteering day incorporating a World Ranking Event where knitted aliens were presented to the winners. The Scottish Junior Orienteering Squad (ScotJOS) is looking at various fundraising initiatives including aliens. The Gristwood household (Graham and Fanni Gyurko) as winners of the Men's and Women's Elite will no doubt be delighted with these new additions.
Birsemore had more challenging technical terrain than Days 1 and 2 and included some steep and boulder strewn northerly slopes as well as a more runnable central hill (Birsemore Hill itself). A few courses including the Elite ventured further west towards Craigendinnie, part of the Glen Tanar estate used on Day 1. Dunecht Estate kindly allowed access to Birsemore, very much a traditional shooting estate. All courses were constrained by pheasant pens near to the race arena, but there were huge advantages to the organising teams by the re-use of the same arena, with only a minor tweak to the run-in.
It was all going so well on the day up until 1630 hrs – no official complaints, great service from the traders, no drama in the car parking field, better weather than forecast. That was when we first had concerns over five overdue competitors. Within half an hour we were down to one competitor – part of a large Army contingent taking part in this orienteering week on adventure training. Missing competitor was an Army Nurse, on W35S. As part of the event we have a well-defined rescue plan and procedures, so we started to tick off the list. A number of Army orienteers went out on a quick sweep search, and just before we were due to interrogate the electronic units (SI boxes) we received a call to report she had been located high up on Birsemore Hill. Our Red Cross 4x4 ambulance was deployed (with an orienteer) to recover the casualty – nothing dented apart from her pride (and a raucous welcome from her colleagues and perhaps a talking to from the Sergeant Major). Useful lessons learned, a happy outcome, but a 6 o'clock finish!
Everyone involved in the staging of the event has been very pleased to receive thanks and compliments for the very professional nature of the event delivery. This of course means a huge volunteer effort, for example Scottish clubs allocated to individual days (ELO, GRAMP, STAG and TINTO today). As Assistant Coordinator I have worked primarily with the Central Organising Team of MAROC and Interlopers. The Coordinator (Jon Musgrave), Day Coordinator (Roger Coombs) and Andy Tivendale (Equipment) are in particular involved in the smooth day-to-day set up and running of the event, especially the superb race arenas. Limelight Event Services, contractors from Inverness, have done the heavy lifting and moving and have provided the generators that power the IT systems and the traders. More about the IT side in a future report.

Editor's Note: The First Responders Friday series is a weekly feature focusing on the men and women in law enforcement, emergency services and fire services who serve in our community every day.
Name: Copeland Mills
Age: 49
Years served total: 12
Rank: Police Corporal
What made you decide on this career path? I have always dreamed of being a police officer. Growing up, my friends and I talked about becoming police officers and how cool it would be drive a police car with lights and sirens. I had a few jobs in my younger years, but knew that my passion was to be in law enforcement.
What is it you love about working in your community? I have always loved the City of Jacksonville. I grew up here and have never left. I knew this is where I wanted to raise a family and help protect my neighbors in the community in which I lived.
Describe some of your favorite experiences in your career. I think most of my favorite experiences as a police officer was during my 6-years of service as a Community Officer. It gave me the opportunity to take the time to talk with a lot folks in the community about how we can continue to improve things in our city. I was fortunate to assist in organizing many community events involving our youth, which is always fun. It's great to have us, as law enforcement, interact with the youth in our community even when it's as simple as tossing a football back and forth!
Where else have you worked in the past? Describe the road to your current position. My first job was as a school bus driver while I was still in high school. Upon graduation, I was offered a full-time job as a custodian at an elementary school. During that time, I also delivered pizza part-time until I was hired as a security officer at the Jacksonville Mall. It was during that time that I began taking criminal justice college courses and later enrolled in the Basic Law Enforcement Training classes during the evenings. I submitted an application to the Jacksonville Police Department where I was pleased to be hired prior to graduating BLET. Twelve years later, here I am.
What was the most memorable case you've worked? While working as a community officer, I met a family in one of our apartment communities who had a child with special needs. The family was struggling with transportation to get to doctor visits and other appointments. I reached out to one of our local transit businesses for assistance. The business was able to provide transportation at little cost to the family. Today that child is in high school and still hugs me every time he sees me. That is a great feeling.
There is no question this profession gets more and more challenging every day. But I enjoy the job, I enjoy living and working in our community. Assisting others in need is what has kept me motivated to do my very best to keep our community a safe one.
It is because of the love and support of my wife, Candy and my son Terrell, that I have successful in a law enforcement career. I am approaching retirement on May 1 and look forward to spending more time with them.
Want to nominate someone for FRF? Contact Kelsey Stiglitz at email@example.com with the person's name, phone number, what organization they work for and a brief reason why you think they should be featured.

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has suggested he is prepared to splash the cash to retain 21-year-old midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian was brought in from Monaco on a short-term swap loan in January, with Adrien Silva going the other way.
Claude Puel - the man who signed Tielemans - was himself shown the door less than a month later with Rodgers taking over the helm. However, the Belgian has quickly impressed the new boss, who hinted he is willing to break the club's transfer record to make the move permanent.
"The money is going up, absolutely. We shall see. As you know, the numbers go up each year. You pay for quality," Rodgers said via the Mirror in response to the question of breaking the club's transfer record for Tielemans.
Tielemans is currently set to return to his parent club Monaco in the summer who are rumoured to be demanding as much as £40m for his services. The Ligue 1 club have a prominent record for turning a strong profit on young talent and are believed to view Tielemans in the same category.
Silva could serve as a makeweight in negotiations to reduce the transfer fee, the Portuguese international cost Leicester £22m just over 18 months ago.
The 30-year-old hasn't made quite as significant a cameo for Monaco though and his value is down since falling out of favour with the Midlands club.
Leicester will still be looking for a respectable sum for the Euro 2016 winner so respective deals could also be handled separately. Tielemans has two goals and four assists in 10 Premier League appearances for the Foxes.

Lila update.
Bad news. Lila's potassium skyrocketed To 5.0 They wanted it to stay at 3.5 but Since they were pumping her full of potassium it makes sense that it got so high. Her body just reacts differently than most kids that I think It must have taken her a while to retain the potassium and now it's way too much. The medicine that they were also trying out for the Pseudomonas Orally didn't work so we are stuck on IVs. Which means stuck in the hospital. Ugh.

Calgary, AB - - Alberta speed skaters Kelsey Duffield (Red Deer, AB) and Sarah Gregg (Edmonton, AB) won the senior and junior 1000m races at the Olympic Oval today in the 2009 North American Championships, helping them prepare for upcoming international competitions and earning points towards qualifying for next year's National Development Team.
Duffield, 23, won the 1000m in 1:18.69, with Gregg, 19, winning the junior 1500m race in 1:18.73, only .04 seconds off of Duffield's senior time.
"It was a really good race, it was a personal best for me by more than .30 seconds," said Gregg. "I was hoping to skate under 1:19.00 and I wanted to go out aggressively and I achieved what I wanted."
Last month at the Canadian Junior Championships Gregg won all but one of her races to claim the overall Canadian Junior Champion title and at the Canada Cup #1 competition, where she competed with senior skaters, she placed in the top ten for all five of her races.
Gregg, the daughter of Stanley Cup Champion Randy Gregg, is now preparing for the World Junior Championships in Zakopane, Poland.
Next to Gregg in the junior 1000m race were Kaylin Irvine, second in 1:20.43 and Marsha Hudey, third in 1:20.89. In the junior 3000m Olympic Oval skaters Madeline Martin, Keara Maguire and Brianne Tutt finished first, second and third in 4:19.07, 4:20.34 and 4:23.46 respectively.
In the senior ladies 1000m, Duffield, who is part of Canada's National Development Team, has been consistently winning Canada's senior ladies competitions. Today's win in the 1000m is her sixth first place finish out of 13 races (from Canada Cup #1, #2 and North American Championships).
"I am happy that I was first in the 1000m today, but I didn't feel that I raced to my full potential," said Duffield. "These are good results for me though, and it is a major improvement from last year. It puts me in a good spot for making the Development Team next year."
Nicole Garrido, on Canada's National Team and also from Alberta, was second to Duffield in the 1000m with a time of 1:19.50 and American Jilleanne Rookard was third in 1:19.74.
Good results also came from Albertan Keith Sulzer (Calgary), who was the top Canadian and second in the men's 5000m race in 6:32.87. In first place was Latvian skater Haralds Silovs, in 6:27.45, and third place went to Andrew Godbout, from Nova Scotia, in 6:34.24.
"This is good preparation for the FISU Games that are coming up," said Sulzer, a University of Calgary Economics student who is qualified for Canada's long track team going to the 24th Winter Universiade (FISU Games) in Harbin, China. "I wanted to skate another consistent race and be strong all the way to the finish. I am happy with this result."
In the senior men's 1500m competition National Development Team skater Mykola Makowsky (Regina, SK) won with a personal best time of 1:46.43. National Development Team skater Alexandre Garant (Quebec, QC) came second in 1:46.73 and National Development Team skater Jeff Kitura (Langley, BC) was third in 1:47.79. Makowsky is also set to compete in the FISU Games later this month.
In junior men's competition American Laurence Ducker won the 1500m race in 1:49.91. Canadians Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu finished second in 1:50.29 and Leo Landry was third in 1:51.51.
Today's last race, the junior men's 5000m, ended with Landry, Scott Bickerton and Gelinas-Beaulieu winning the top three places. All three athletes lowered their personal best times by more than 10 seconds each.
Tomorrow racing continues in the men's and ladies 500 and 1000m, ladies 5000m and men's 10,000m. Complete race results will be available at http://oval.ucalgary.ca/results/long_track

Tijuana Cosmetic Surgery Clinic Under Scrutiny In Downey Woman's Death
Irma Saenz told family members she was going to Tijuana for the day. But she didn't tell them what for: The 51-year-old Downey resident had scheduled a liposuction procedure at a cosmetic surgery clinic. Four days later, Saenz was in a coma when an ambulance brought her across the border, her relatives said. She died on Nov. 11, nearly two weeks later, at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, after her family made the decision to take her off life support. (Dibble, 11/18)

Four San Diego nursing homes have agreed to pay up to $6.9 million to settle civil allegations that employees paid kickbacks for referrals and submitted fraudulent bills to government healthcare programs, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday. The nursing homes, all owned by Los Angeles-based Brius Management Co., were accused of paying kickbacks to hospital staffers in violation of anti-kickback laws, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release.

They Reported Sex Harassment In State Jobs And Found 'Retaliation Is Alive And Well'
As the topic of sexual harassment bubbles to the surface inside California state government, and lawmakers promise reforms, former workers who say they experienced such treatment paint a grim picture of how their cases were handled. Plaintiffs who have sued the state over sexual harassment describe a kind of David-and-Goliath ordeal that, in hindsight, wasn't altogether worth the lost sleep, strained marriages, health problems, broken work relationships, harrowing interviews and fractured careers.

There have been many "that was freakin' awesome" type moments on each of the superhero shows that TV has to offer now. I mean, there are so many shows to choose from, especially over the past few years.
- Arrow
- Flash
- Supergirl
- Gotham
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- Agent Carter
And if you include the shows on Netflix…
- Daredevil
- Jessica Jones
One more is even getting added to the mix with Legends of Tomorrow. Which is a spin-off including characters from the Arrow and Flash shows. Then there are the shows that are no longer with us… like Smallville and Constantine.
If you watch any or all of these shows, and you're gonna try to guess the coolest moment that I'm talking about, the kicker segment during the Flash where King Shark makes an appearance WAS that moment. King Shark's sneak attack/choke out of Barry was completely out of left field. Which made it all the better. I can't believe I'm going to say it, but King Shark has been dethroned.
After a super crazy week, I finally was able to watch the newest episode of Supergirl that aired this past Monday. My biggest interest point concerning the Supergirl show from the start was the fact that they cast the character of Hank Henshaw. If you aren't in the know, Hank Henshaw is the name a very big Superman villain —> Cyborg Superman.
BTW – last week's Supergirl episode when she faces off against Red Tornado was pretty cool too (specifically the scene I used for the thumbnail of this article.)
This here is officially the coolest moment I've seen on a superhero show to date!
J'onn J'onzz!!!!!!!!
What he should have said in this clip…
"My name is J'onn J'onzz. The Martian F******* Manhunter." Hahaha
Martian Manhunter is a freakin BOSS!!! Mad props to CBS and the Supergirl writers room for getting the goods.
Not only is the inclusion of Martian Manhunter great, but this twist completely sets the table for a Supergirl match-up vs yet to emerge Hank Henshaw, aka Cyborg Superman!

Posted: June 17, 2016
Pipedream has announced that its 2016 ETO Award-winning (Best New Product Range) product King Cock has now sold over one million units since it was first launched in 2015.
"It's very rewarding for Pipedream to hit that millionth cock milestone in such a short time," said Pipedream chairman and CEO Nick Orlandino. "Thanks to all our retailer partners for running with King Cock and already making it a household name in the industry. We know that great customers are the key to our success and we're working harder than ever to help them continue to thrive. We're very excited about the future of the King Cock brand as it becomes a cornerstone of the industry going forward"
The King Cock range is composed of 18 different styles; each is available in three colours and handcrafted to ensure that the whole range is as realistic as possible. The entire collection is made from phthalate-free, latex-free, hypoallergenic PVC rubber. Due to its success, the 54-piece line was expanded shortly after its launch with variations for harnesses, squirting dildos, dual density dildos and the soon-to-be released Vibrating King Cocks.
"Since the King Cock release early last year, they've been selling like crazy," said Pipedream sales executive Mona Madrigal. "Our customers really couldn't be happier — the packaging, the branding, the name – this line really does sell itself, all retailers need to do is hang it on the wall and watch it move."

Barbecue restaurants and steak houses generally specialise in one thing: delicious, slow-cooked meats. Here's how to order the most flavoursome cuts of meat at any barbecue restaurant, no matter where you are.
Photo by Rebecca Siegel.
Whether the restaurant you're at uses a secret spice rub, a special sauce, or a combination of the two, there's part of each piece of barbecue that is packed with the most flavour. Daniel Vaughn, the author of The Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey Through Texas Barbecue, suggests that "outside" meat is the best meat:
[Most restaurants] will know what you mean by "outside" meat: smoky, highly seasoned portions from the surface of the pork shoulder, brisket, or any large cut of meat. Asking for these tasty nuggets will earn you some points with the meat slicer too. They will understand that they're about to serve a well-informed barbecue consumer who appreciates the good stuff, and they will make sure to give the best bites to you.
The inside cuts of barbecue aren't necessarily bad, but the char on the outside takes any meat to the next level. No matter what the restaurant's specialty is, ask for the "outside" cuts and you'll be sure to have the best plate of barbecue possible.

I Found An Art: Yet Another Helen Kalvak Print
A couple of things that have greatly changed my life recently. One: My Dad has not been well and my mother broke her foot, so I've been spending a lot of time commuting by bis back and forth to my hometown to help the parents out. Two: They have WiFi on the bus now. I usually spend my commute time working, but sometimes I troll eBay searching for deals on jewellery and art. Last month I hit pay dirt and purchased a Helen Kalvak print for $9.
It arrived last week and then it took me a few days to find a frame. But all the elements are in place now.

Lack of Sleep & Poor Sleep Result in Dry Eyes Says Sharon Kleyne. Sharon Kleyne Urges Sound Sleep & Nature's Tears® EyeMist® for Dry Eyes.
We hear it all the time, yet many of us do so little about it. Bad sleep kills. We stay up too late at night because our minds are whirring with anxiety or the day's events, or both. We keep the television on in the bedroom and dose off while it drones on, assaulting our subconscious minds.
We know that lack of sleep or poor sleep habits will lead to a host of health problems. The body's immune system will be increasingly compromised by poor, little or no sleep. Concentration and emotional balance will suffer. Relationships and work performance will deteriorate, and according to Sharon Kleyne, founder and research director of Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science®, little or no sleep will often trigger dry eye disease.
Dry eye disease is a serious eye condition that challenges 30 million Americans every year. Besides lack of sleep or poor quality sleep, dry eye disease can be aggravated by pollution, allergies, dust, wind, sun glare, poor diet, artificial environments (forced air heating, air conditioning) and too many hours staring at computers and televisions.
Kleyne, regarded all over the world as one of the leading researchers into body water evaporation and its impact on the eyes, teaches that when the eye's tear film, which is naturally 99 percent water, loses moisture due to evaporation, dry eye disease can occur. If the moisture of the eye is not supplemented with fresh water, then dry eye disease symptoms intensify. These dry eye disease symptoms include swelling, blurred vision, burning sensations, itchiness, redness and eye pain. In addition to these dry eye disease symptoms, an onset of dry eye disease can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, anxiety and distracted thoughts. A person with dry eye disease is much more dangerous behind the wheel of a car, or on a motorcycle or bicycle, than a person without dry eye disease. If dry eye disease is not treated with an appropriate dry eye solution®, the result can be blindness.
Water Life Science® creator Kleyne, who also serves as host of the nationally syndicated radio program, The Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, Global Climate Change and Your Health on VoiceAmerica sponsored by Nature's Tears® EyeMist®, knows that 100% tissue culture grade water, applied in an ultra-fine patented micron-size mist, is the best way to add pure moisture back to dry eyes and soothe the symptoms of dry eye disease. With the assistance of her colleagues in the research center at Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science®, Kleyne discovered and perfected her signature product for the relief of dry eye disease, Nature's Tears® EyeMist®. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® promises long-lasting relief to millions of dry eye disease sufferers and Nature's Tears® EyeMist® delivers.
Nature's Tears® EyeMist® is so effective because it consists of 100 percent Trade Secret tissue culture grade pure water. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® enters the eyes as a patented micron-size mist applied by a personal, portable handheld humidifier that is fun and easy for everyone to use. Even senior citizens and children enjoy applying this unique dry eye solution®. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® supplements and rehydrates the moisture of the eyes that is lost to evaporation. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® does not burn, sting, or blur and is compatible with contact lenses. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® is 100 percent safe and holds 100 applications per bottle. Nature's Tears® EyeMist® will not ruin make-up. There is no other product like Nature's Tears® EyeMist® on the global market. Most of all, Nature's Tears® EyeMist® is the dry eye solution® for dry eye disease.

Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland
|Political party
|Fine Gael
|Deirdre Yates (m. 1985)
|Alma mater
|University College Dublin
Ivan Yates (born 23 October 1959) is an Irish broadcaster, businessman and former politician. He was elected as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency at the 1981 general election and at each election until his retirement from politics in 2002.[1] He also served as Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry from 1994 to 1997.
Early life[edit]
Yates was born in Enniscorthy, County Wexford.[citation needed] He was educated at Aravon School, Bray; St. Columba's Church of Ireland College in Rathfarnham, Dublin; and Gurteen Agricultural College, County Tipperary.
Political career[edit]
Aged 21 years and 8 months when he was first elected in 1981, Yates was the youngest member of the 22nd Dáil and is also the fifth-youngest ever member of Dáil Éireann. He became involved in local politics when he became a member of Wexford County Council, serving until 1995 and again from 1999 to 2004. He joined the Fine Gael front bench in 1988 and was appointed Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when the party came to power in 1994.[2]
Yates oversaw a particularly difficult period for Irish agriculture. Farmers saw the prices they received for their produce plummet; he stopped live animal exports in response to controversy over cruelty in shipping, and took on the veterinary union over the tuberculosis eradication scheme. He also had to deal with a sharp rise in the number of BSE cases during 1996, and the consequent banning of Irish beef by Russia. When John Bruton resigned as leader of Fine Gael in January 2001, there was much speculation that Yates would be a contender for the vacant position. Instead, he announced to his colleagues that he was leaving full-time politics to concentrate on his family and business interests and that he would not be contesting the next general election.
He receives annual pension payments of €74,836 from his time in politics.[3]
Business career[edit]
Yates was the chairman and managing director of Celtic Bookmakers, an Irish chain of betting shops, and expanded the company from its Wexford base to a chain of 64 shops around the country at its peak. On 4 January 2011, it was announced that the company had gone into receivership.[4]
Yates' leadership has been very much in evidence in the bookmaking industry. He has headed a group of bookmakers in a court case against the British Horseracing Board (BHB) over data rights. Although the issue has yet to be resolved in the Irish courts, UK bookmaker William Hill has already defeated the BHB on this issue in the Court of Appeal and the European Court of Justice. Yates is said to hope that the court will also force the BHB to pay back the £15m a year that Irish bookmakers have been paying the BHB for data rights since 2002.
In 2011, he described the Irish bankruptcy process as "purgatory", and publicly announced that he was contemplating moving to the UK to avail of the British bankruptcy process.[5]
On 21 August 2012, the High Court in Dublin dismissed an attempt by Allied Irish Banks to have him declared bankrupt.[6]
In September 2013, it was announced that Yates was discharged from bankruptcy, having fulfilled the requirements set down by Swansea County Court, where he made his application for personal insolvency on 24 August 2012.[7][8]
Media work[edit]
Yates co-presented the Newstalk breakfast show from 2009, firstly with Claire Byrne and subsequently with Chris Donoghue. On 23 March 2012, he announced he would be leaving both the station and his column in the Irish Examiner with effect from 6 April 2012, to concentrate on his personal finances. He also presented Tonight with Vincent Browne on TV3 during summer 2011.
He returned to Newstalk in September 2013, once again co-presenting the breakfast show with Chris Donoghue.[9]
He now presents The Hard Shoulder during the drive time slot.
Yates is a regular conference speaker, motivational speaker and MC at business events in Ireland.[10]
Since September 2017, he has co-hosted The Tonight Show on TV3.

Microneedling is a treatment used to tighten the skin, minimize wrinkles and reduce pore size. Dr. David Herschthal and Dr. Jordana Herschthal at The Herschthal Practice help Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, FL area patients achieve smoother, younger, firmer, and more beautiful skin via microneedling treatments.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a solution for many different types of skin damage and flaws, including wrinkles, scars, fine lines, and large pores. This treatment creates controlled tiny wounds in the skin using a small group of ultra-fine needles. The entire group of needles is contained in a device that's only about the size of a writing pen. The small holes in the skin force your body to start breaking apart tough scar tissue like acne scars and other skin damage. The cells in the lower layers of skin are also stimulated to produce fresh collagen and elastin, which means the damaged skin gradually is replaced by a fresh, new layer of skin.
What is Vivace™ Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Vivace™ is a fractional microneedling radiofrequency treatment that tightens the skin, minimizes wrinkles, reduces pore size, and more.
What Does Vivace™ Fractional Microneedling with Radiofrequency Feel Like?
Because Dr. Herschthal applies a numbing cream prior to the Vivace™ treatment, you may feel only mild pressure on the face.
What Type of Aftercare is Needed After Vivace™ Treatment?
There is no downtime needed after Vivace™ treatment, and patients generally can return to their normal routine the same day. Dr. Herschthal recommends specific recovery protocols to help patients get the most from their Vivace™ treatment. This can include a weekly mask and a soothing recovery system. Patients should avoid sun exposure for at least three to five days following treatment, and strenuous physical activity should be avoided for the same period. To achieve optimal results, follow up treatments may be recommended, with treatments spaced at least a month apart.
How Long Do Vivace™ Results Last?
You should start to notice results fairly quickly after the first Vivace™ treatment. Results continue to improve over time, as the collagen and elastin are rebuilt. The optimal result typically is seen around four to six months post-treatment.
What is SkinPen® Microneedling?
The Herschthal Practice also offers SkinPen® microneedling, a minimally invasive procedure that regenerates skin by stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. The process takes about 15 minutes, resulting in smoother, firmer looking skin. We utilize the SkinPen® for localized regions, and Vivace™ for the global treatment of large areas, like the entire face.
How Much Does Vivace Radiofrequency Microneedling Cost in Boca Raton, FL?
The cost of your microneedling treatment will depend on a few factors, including the type of results desired and the number of treatments needed to achieve those results. During your consultation at The Herschthal Practice, Dr. David Herschthal or Dr. Jordana Herschthal will assess your cosmetic goals in order to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs. At this point, we will be able to provide you with the exact cost of treatment. To help keep our treatments both affordable and accessible, we accept all major credit cards as well as financing through CareCredit®.
Microneedling is an innovative skin care treatment designed to minimize skin imperfections while simultaneously creating younger and healthier skin. At The Herschthal Practice, we use Vivace™ radiofrequency microneedling and SkinPen® microneedling to do just that. To learn more or to schedule a consultation, contact us today. We proudly serve patients in Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and the neighboring areas in South Florida.
What Our Patients Say
Result Matters
I love Dr. J, she is the best. She is so talented at what she does and I always trust her judgement not to overdue things and maintain an age appropriate natural look. Patient since 2015
I see Dr Jordan Herschthal. She takes her time listening and is very knowledgable. I feel confident in her care… and she is very nice:)
Dr Herschthal is excellent. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr. Herschthal.
