"We are like the little branch that quivers during a storm, doubting our strength and forgetting we are the tree — deeply rooted to withstand all life's upheavals." >> Dodinsky
What an alluring statement that it. "We are deeply rooted to withstand all life's upheavals." When I read that my immediate response is 'Well yeah we can go through anything with God as our roots'. Think about that. God makes us strong. When we ask him for help, he gives us hope, because hope is one of the most powerful emotions/feeling. Whether that be hope provided by someone around you, or a different way he seems to add it into your life, God always provides.
That quote is overly true. I have not met one single person who at once in their life did not doubt their abilities. We often forget that our dreams are worldly versions of what God can actually do. You may think your dream is out of reach or impossible, but God always has something planned for us much further than we could ever imagine. Its crazy how even at our lowest points God wants to be there to help us stand tall and not get pushed around by this corrupted world. No that does not mean that we wont fall, or fail, or have our dreams crumble before our eyes. His plan for you is great and maybe something completely opposite of what you had imagined, but it will be incredible and much more than you could have envisioned for yourself.
How crazy is it that we let such small things bring us down. Judgements, breakups, failed tests, being fired. They feel like the end of the world even though these are milestones that only affect our lives here on earth. Society teaches us to be upset, and grow attached to things like that, even when God calls us not to. Those types of items are not what changes our purpose; to glorify Him and show people unconditional love, and God gives us the strength to do so by being our roots and using our lives (if we allow him). Insane.

RDInvesting Provides Stocks Research on XOMA and EntreMed
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Feb 26, 2013) - A sharp increase in drug approvals and mergers and acquisitions combined to create a bull market for the Biotechnology Industry in 2012. The iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (IBB), the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) and the First Trust Amex Biotechnology Index ETF (FBT) have all gained over 20 percent in the past year, outperforming the broader markets by a good margin. Research Driven Investing examines investing opportunities in the Biotech Industry and provides equity research on XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ: XOMA) and EntreMed Inc. (NASDAQ: ENMD).
Access to the full company reports can be found at:
Bloomberg recently reported drug approvals by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reached a 15 year high in 2012. The FDA approved a total of 39 novel medicines last year, an increase of 30 percent when compared to a year ago. Oncology drugs lead the way with 11 new drugs approved last year. Over the last ten years the number of FDA approvals had averaged roughly 23 a year. The passage of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) played a major role in the sharp increase in approvals.

PLB 406Mhz
Personal Locater 406 MHz Beacons
Whistler SAR now has the ability to pickup PLB distress signals
Whistler SAR would be intially notified by RCC in Victoria
Development of a new generation of beacons transmitting at 406 MHz commenced at the beginning of the Cospas-Sarsat project. The 406 MHz units were designed specifically for satellite detection and Doppler location, and provide the following:
- improved location accuracy and ambiguity resolution;
- increased system capacity (i.e. capability to process a greater number of beacons transmitting simultaneously in field of view of satellite);
- global coverage; and
- unique identification of each beacon.
System performance is greatly enhanced both by the improved frequency stability of the 406 MHz units and by operation at a dedicated frequency.
These beacons transmit a 5 Watt RF burst of approximately 0.5 seconds duration every 50 seconds. The carrier frequency is very stable and is phase-modulated with a digital message. Frequency stability ensures accurate location, while the high peak power increases the probability of detection. The low duty cycle provides a multiple-access capability for a large number of beacons simultaneously operating in view of a polar orbiting satellite, and low mean power consumption.
An important feature of 406 MHz emergency beacons is the digitally encoded message, which can provide information such as the country of beacon registration and the identification of the vessel or aircraft in distress, and optionally, position data from onboard navigation equipment.
An auxiliary transmitter (homing transmitter) is usually included in the 406 MHz beacon to enable suitably-equipped SAR forces to home on the distress beacon.
To ensure that 406 MHz beacons are compatible with the Cospas-Sarsat System, detailed specifications and type approval testing standards have been adopted.

Recco Detectors
RECCO® is an avalanche rescue system utilized by 600 organizations worldwide to assist in the efficient location of burials. First introduced in 1983, the technology was developed by Magnus Granhed with the cooperation of Stockholm's Royal Institute of Technology in response to his personal experience with an avalanche tragedy. Since then, the system has proven itself effective in the field and has been adopted globally by ski resorts, helicopter skiing operations and search-and-rescue organizations as an additional tool for avalanche rescue.
Utilized universally throughout Europe, Japan and North America–from major destination resorts such as Whistler/Blackcomb, Whistler Search and Rescue Jackson Hole and Squaw Valley to Europe's marquee areas like Zermatt, Chamonix, and Verbier–the RECCO system has been widely adopted as an additional tool to aid the search. A preponderance of leading search-and-rescue operations are also equipped with the RECCO system, from Parks Canada, Mt. Rainer National Park and Wasatch Backcountry Rescue to Air Zermatt. In total, 600 of the most respected rescue organizations in the world have integrated the advanced location technology into their operations.
The RECCO system enables rapid directional pinpointing of a buried victim's exact location using harmonic radar. The two-part system consists of a RECCO® detector used by organized rescue groups and RECCO® reflectors that are integrated into clothing, helmets, protection gear or boots.
The RECCO reflector is permanently affixed to skiers and snowboarders while they are recreating in the mountains. The small piece, essentially an electronic transponder with a copper aerial and a diode, weighs less than four grams. It is factory mounted to the exterior of gear that is unlikely to be torn off in the event of an avalanche. This ensures the reflector can't be left in the car, stashed mistakenly in the lodge or forgotten at home. It is a non-powered device, meaning that it never needs to be switched on, will never loose signal strength and needs no batteries to function. It requires no maintenance and has a virtually unlimited lifespan.
The success of the RECCO system hinges on operation of the RECCO detector. It is with this avalanche search tool that rescue organizations are able to locate individuals equipped with RECCO reflectors. In the hands of trained searchers, this portable device, which operates with a transmitter and receiver, enables efficient location of an avalanche burial. The detectors, which are positioned at strategic locations on the mountain, are operated by area ski patrols, helicopter skiing companies and search-and-rescue outfits. The latest generation of detector has evolved significantly and now weighs only 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds). At this reduced weight, it is extremely portable and can be easily operated in rough terrain or harsh conditions.
Although similar in search procedure to transceivers, the RECCO system is not intended for self-rescue and is not an alternative to transceiver use in the backcountry. Complementary in function, the system is an additional tool that does not interfere with other rescue methods such as avalanche dogs, transceiver searches or probe lines. Since it operates on the frequency-doubling principle, the system is entirely directional resulting in pinpoint accuracy and increased efficiency. The RECCO system facilitates a faster organized search for rescuers and provides skiers and snowboarders with one more chance to be found in time.
What rescue gear should I carry?
The essential rescue gear that everyone should carry when going into the backcountry is an avalanche beacon (or transceiver), shovel, and a collapsible or ski-pole probe. You and your friends should practice frequently so as to be proficient in using your beacon. Albeit the beacon is the primary rescue tool for backcountry skiers, RECCO reflectors should always be used. Even for people venturing far into the backcountry the RECCO System saves significant search-time when a rescue team responds.

Whistler SAR beneficiary of lawsuit
The organization received a total of $54,000 after Maxwell Buhler, president of Whistler Snowboard Tours, chose the group as the recipient of money from a class action suit against Whistler Cable Television Ltd.
This is the first time in Canadian history that a plaintiff was able to select who the recipient of a settlement surplus would be.
The money comes from a lawsuit Buhler filed against Whistler Cable two years ago. Buhler alleged the company was overcharging clients. A settlement was reached between the two groups in February, and $70,000 was put aside to reimburse those who were part of the suit. The deadline to join the suit was in August. Notices were posted in local papers for three weeks.
Part of the agreement was that any money left over from the fund would go to SAR. Only a few people applied for a reimbursement, leaving $54,000 for the local non-profit.

New Truck
Thanks to our American Friends of Whistler for the donation of our new search and rescue vehicle.
For the first time in its 35-year history Whistler Search and Rescue have their own dedicated rescue vehicle, thanks to a donation from members of the American Friends of Whistler.
This dedicated 4x4 crew-cab truck and custom-built Spacekap rescue vehicle will be fully equipped with everything the team needs for any situation that may arise during the course of each search and rescue. The vehicle can also serve as a forward command post and communications relay during searches and rescues. The crew-cab provides space for six team members and the Spacekap allows rescued subjects to be safely transported, by stretcher if needed, in an enclosed vehicle. Prior to receiving this vehicle, Whistler Search and Rescue teams relied on their members' vehicles and had to load equipment each time they received a call out. This new vehicle will be ready to go with all equipment on board 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 12 months of the year, ensuring an efficient response to each call and the safe recovery of the subject(s).
Backcountry Incidents
Backcountry users in the Whistler area should be prepared to navigate in whiteout conditions, have knowledge of local terrain, proper outdoor gear, a buddy capable of companion rescue, first aid skills, and avalanche training. Cell phones work in some areas, and not in others if your lost conserve your batteries. Always tell someone responsible where you are going, and your time of return, or file a itinerary with the mountain. If you are lost in the backcountry find a location where you will be visible from the air, and note any prominent landmarks, make a shelter, and stay put.
Whistler SAR would like to remind people that often they will not be reported missing early enough in the day to launch a search, and therefore stand a very good chance of spending the night out. Very likely there will be consequences to your actions..
Many tracks have been spotted from the air from people in precarious situations off the backside of Whistler mtn. (LEFT OF THE KHYBER) wandering aimlessly through cliff bands, and gullies going up and down all over the place many of the incidents have gone largely unreported probably because no one knew they were out there. If you decide to duck the rope find a local who has been here for a more than couple seasons, and be prepared for self rescue.
If you require assitance dial 911..

Teaching team coordination and communication skills is difficult, but critical in organizations. The Team Coordination Games Project, or TeC, designs games from a grounding in practice to teach and enhance these skills. We investigate real-life team coordination practices and integrate results into game designs. Participants play team games that require them to coordinate and communicate with one another to succeed.
We are deploying TeC at TEEX Disaster Preparedness and Response's Disaster City, an urban search and rescue training ground that educates 10's of thousands of responders each year. DPR develops state-of-the-art education for our nation's responders and is home to the elite Texas Task Force 1. Educational facilities currently include collapsible buildings, a train wreck, rubble piles, and a coordination center simulator. In upcoming classes, TeC will become a featured educational component.
The basis of the TeC project is grounded in work and teaching practice. Part of the project conducts ethnographic inquiry into the processes of team coordination in fire emergency response at the Emergency Services Training Institute. Investigations at the school have uncovered significant details of how emergency response work is coordinated in practice, and these details are integrated into game designs.
Data suggest the concept of non-mimetic zero-fidelity simulation: an operational environment that requires the use of abstract skills without all of the concrete elements of the mimicked environment. Zero-fidelity simulation allows learners to practice a subset of important skills in a different way that is quick and easy to develop. Creating games around such simulations adds engagement and competition, encouraging students to practice.
Based on the data, we distribute information among team members and develop roles for the players. Each team member has different information presented in different ways. All of the information is essential to success, so players communicate, learning to efficiently provide their teammates with the data they need. The players either take on the role of seeker or coordinator: seekers act in a virtual environment and observe a local scope, while the coordinator observes a low-detail overview and communicates. The roles are direct analogs to those of firefighter and incident commander, found in the emergency response domain.
The data further suggest that typical simulation/game setups are not suitable for encouraging team coordination. Real-life teams coordinate successfully in spite of, and sometimes because of, being geographically distributed. Team members come together and split up, sharing information face-to-face or using broadcast remote transports (radio). Multiple perspectives and backgrounds are combined dynamically, creating distributed cognition. Desktop setups require participants to be stationary: bound to their machine. Wearable systems, on the other hand, enable participants to roam the environment, naturally coming together and breaking apart.
TeC develops location-aware experiences, zero-fidelity simulation games in which participants coordinate and communicate. We have shown the success of our zero-fidelity approach through deploying the stationary game with fire emergency response students, as well as community members.
TeC is based on the open source S.IM.PL cross-language type system, which facilitates sharing data structures and instances across platforms. TeC has also spawned development of information semantics for disaster response using the open source BigSemantics software architecture, including the meta-metadata language and wrapper repository.

An autopsy shows "Fast & Furious" star Paul Walker was killed by the combined effects of the impact and subsequent fire after Saturday's car crash.
His friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas, who was driving the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT that smashed into a light pole and tree then exploded into flames, was killed by the impact. The report was released Wednesday by the Los Angeles County coroner's office.
Sheriff's investigators are still trying to determine exactly what caused Rodas to careen out of control. They have said speed was a factor.
The coroner's office said a toxicology report is still pending for both car enthusiasts. The results are expected within six to eight weeks.
Walker starred in all but one of the six "Fast & Furious" blockbuster films that glorified fast cars and dangerous driving.
According to Merrill Lynch's Wealth Management site, Rodas and Walker met in the mid-2000s when Walker noticed the Salvadoran driving a Porsche GT3 he had previously owned.
Their love for cars and racing brought them together and soon the two were racing side by side – they teamed up a couple years ago with two professional drivers in a pro-am 25-hour endurance race in Thunder Hill, Calif.
In 2007 Rodas became Walker's financial adviser, helping him keep his passion for cars and racing without it being a financial burden. The duo created and co-owned the Always Evolving Performance Shop and the Always Evolving racing team.
In a recent statement, Jordana Brewster, who played the actor's love interest in the movies, said Walker's death is "heartbreaking."
"Paul was an enormous presence in my life for the past 14 years. While many would be satisfied with material success, it made Paul more convinced of the need to help others," she said. "He never spoke of his immense generosity or philanthropic endeavors unless I prodded, however. This is what made Paul Paul."
The statement continued, "He lived with integrity, humanity and humility and seemed most happy when talking about his daughter, Meadow. I don't know anyone who lived each moment more fully and loved life more than Paul, making his loss all the more heartbreaking."
Walker is survived by a 15-year-old daughter, while Rodas is survived by a wife and two children.

165 live performances will take place over four nights at the Americana Music Festival
Nashville will be a huge party from September 15 to 20.
The line-up includes the up-and-coming artists with a mix of the legendary.
Festivities taking place will not disappoint with the never-ending list.
We've got another music festival on our hands. This festival is enormous and taking place in Nashville. While talent may include names that you already are familiar with, there are also artists that are going to be making a name for themselves. What a great way to get yourself out there. The Americana Music Festival is the place to be this weekend. I mean, if you can get yourself to Nashville.
Go through the entire post to read the rest of the festivities.
Performers, promoters and fans are gathering here Wednesday for the annual Americana Honors and Awards show staged that evening, and for the associated "AmericanaFest†week of showcase performances and panels. The lively genre, built on contemporary twists and turns on American roots music, has never stopped evolving since the first Americana music chart appeared in the radio industry publication the Gavin Report in 1995.
Back then, scattered radio shows—even dedicated stations—were beginning to play a mix of album cuts from traditional country, rootsy regional singer-songwriter, and "alternative country†roots-rock that became the initial streams flowing into the new format. And they had identified an underserved audience hungry for all of it. Americana was destined to be the home for what could be thought of as roots music with a college education; now it had a name, and a chart that would track records played on the air that fit under the umbrella. A generation later, that fledgling radio format is widely recognized as a healthy, growing musical genre.
Many of the acts that made that first radio chart— Lyle Lovett, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard migrating from country; Tom Petty, Nick Lowe and the Bottle Rockets out of roots rock; Townes Van Zandt, Nanci Griffith and John Hiatt from the Texas singer-songwriter school—would prove to be Americana stalwarts. Van Zandt died in 1997 and Jennings in 2002, but the rest of those acts are still active and drawing audiences two decades on—and Van Zandt's and Jennings's songs are recorded still.
- Aaron Watson does Indie Country Proud with 'Getaway Truck'
- Is Jamie Lynn Spears the Next Country Star?
- Country Newcomer Cam has Exciting News
Mr. Graves's album, a nearly unclassifiable mixture of folk, country guitar picking and contemporary indie pop, and a competitor for best album, Sturgill Simpson's daringly cerebral mutation of honky tonk, "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music,†show the sonic latitude Americana artists can explore within a roots-music context. In its own way, so does the collaboration between slide-guitar master Ry Cooder and the Grand Ole Opry's Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White, a trio to be featured on the awards show.
The format remains open to cross-border visitors. From country music, there will be festival appearances by Loretta Lynn, as the risk-taking singer-songwriter she always has been, and by Lee Ann Womack. Just nominated by the Country Music Association for a female vocalist of the year award, Ms. Womack still has a permanent home in Americana—thanks to her choice of song material and backing arrangements.
Son Volt's "Traceâ€â€"one of the first "alt-country†rock albums to move Americana audiences—is marking its own 20th anniversary. It will be performed in its entirety by that band's leader, Jay Farrar. And Houndmouth, a young Indiana band that draws inspiration from 1990s alternative country, is up for Emerging Artist of the Year. From out on the edge of bluegrass, there will be appearances by Noam Pikelny, the Wood Brothers and the Hillbenders, performing their grassy version of The Who's "Tommy.â€

What My Career Change Taught Me About Trusting God's Positioning
In May 2017 I started a new career. Breaking from my academic and professional background in marketing, communications, and community engagement, I dove head first into student affairs. I shamed both my degrees and began utilizing my transferable skills in a brand new environment: higher education.
I was excited to begin inspiring change at my institution, for the sake of creating and improving the graduate student experience. I was ready to fully embrace this new professional passion.
I joined Facebook groups, attended local conferences, and participated in discussions with other entry-to-mid-level professionals. None of that, however, equipped me for the way I'd feel in this new role.
After months of hard work, and doing tons of work above my title and experience level - all while thanking God for the ability to dominate and conquer any task put before me - I still felt like I had no idea how to navigate this new space. There were new people to network with, new lingo to adopt, new types of conflict - none of which I was quite sure how to manage.
I knew that I was strategic enough to handle the work; I was well-versed in event planning, strategic development, resource development, and had a certain 'umph' for identifying and resolving high-level problems. But there were things in this new space that I wasn't too sure of. Polices and procedures that, outside of common sense, I wasn't sure were ethical in this new field. Research that I had no idea about, that dramatically impacted the transition from student services to student affairs. Researchers whose work was what many SA offices based their work around, that I was not keen to. A new bureaucracy that I had to figure out - vastly different from the municipal and non-profit bureaucracy I was used to. Things that, when interviewing, I was led to believe my leaders would teach me. Hint: they weren't teaching me a thing.
Regardless, I carried on everyday putting my best foot forward, and opening myself up to learning new things, and generating creative ideas. I was left to my own devices to be brought up to speed on all things student affairs - including the most common themes and challenges. I had to both identify common trends in this new field, and identify ways to either implement them, sustain them, or modify them to be more effective for our unique student base.
I started by thinking critically about my why, believing that once I figured that out, I could begin teaching myself things that mattered most. I identified why I wanted to, in the long haul, improve student support for students of the African diaspora, not just through academic and social resources, but through holistic approaches to student wellness and success post-grad. I wanted to provide minority students with access to resources and opportunities from the minute they accepted admittance, to the minute the accepted their degree. I held onto that why for dear life, constantly reflecting on it through every stage of this new process. But despite my thirst for learning, and my big ideas, I often found myself questioning how I'd get there. How would I one day make it in this big space, to my dream position, without any educational background or real professional footing?
That question still replays in my head from time-to-time.
Being in a completely new career field than the one I was academically and professional prepped for, I've been grappling with the reality of not knowing how to position myself in this new space. I've been struggling with feeling unqualified to serve in the positions I desire most. I've been wrestling with whether or not I will ever be a thought leader in a space I hadn't ever imagined being in. I've been wondering if the work, without the research, would be enough to sustain myself professionally, as I attempt to climb the ranks. Am I enough for this new field, or will I, at some point, find myself way over my head?
As I've been whispering these questions to myself silently, God has been responding to them - loudly. In this season of transition (in more ways than one), God has been calling me to trust His positioning.
See, when I started this job, I had no prior experience in the field. I applied to the position on a whim, because I was fed up with where I was. Upon starting my last position, I knew the route I wanted to take was student affairs. I was, at the time, working with alums, and knew that their engagement as alums, relied heavily on their time as students. I wanted to make the student experience so impactful, that as they transitioned to the working world, they'd always remember the institution that served them for however many years. So when this coordinator position popped up, I jumped at it. Though I had no experience in the work, I got the job; and since starting, I've been working my butt off to prove myself worthy enough to be there. I hit the ground running and have gotten experience in my first few months, that some people in similar positions may never get. I wasn't upset at the workload, I was invigorated. I wanted to do more. I wanted to grow more.
It's not until I recall these moments - moments where I have flourished beyond my own belief, in a field I had no prior experience in, recommending, creating, and implementing dynamic new programs and resources - that I find myself most affirmed in my ability to go further in this industry. It's in recognizing God's strategy, that I realize that this position - and the people I work for - isn't by happenstance. It's God's reminder to me, that I am equipped, and that I can do it. It's only in understanding the pressure placed on me and successfully thriving through it, that I truly realize the unique calling I have to do this work.
In between battling myself about my ability, and speaking with God about my position, there were a few things I needed to know to navigate myself with confidence. I had to recognize that, regardless of my educational and/or professional background, what I may think of my ability to serve in this new field, and the networks I do or do not yet have, God's plan will make room for me. That, whether I have the credentials or not, God's will will manifest. That, whether I feel adequately prepared or not, God's way will always reign supreme. That, no matter how many questions I ask myself about this new professional pursuit, God will always take me to the place that is meant for me. And that's something that impostor syndrome can never take.
My position in this space has nothing to do with my qualifications but my calling. And, regardless of what job descriptions say, I will always be granted the opportunity to serve in the place God has called me to. The thoughts that infiltrate my mind are irrelevant to the moves God is making in my life, professionally and in every other area. And for as long as I say 'yes' to Him, He will always put me in places that allow me to tap into my true power.
God wanted to remind me that His positioning is what matters most in this - and any - space. That any place He puts me, is a place worth being. And that I need nothing else but obedience to get there.
This reminder is all I needed to recognize that me forging my space in this new field is God's work. It provided me with a confirmation I needed to revisit, that I am exactly where I ought to be. It gave me an assurance that no matter what I may endure here, I am equipped to handle it. And it settled me with a Christ-like peace knowing that whatever space God has planned for me next is already mine.
So to you, an outsider to wherever you may be right now...To you, who feels unqualified and undeserving...To you, standing at the crossroad of uncertainty and self-proclaimed incompetence...To you, in a very new space, unsure if you'll make it, I want you to know that you will. I want you to remember that God has strategically placed you there, and has purposefully equipped you for that place. I want you to identify God's calling for your life, and never forget that He will bring it to fruition. And I want you to know that you are not an impostor, you are positioned.

I am a 31 year old who is at her wit's end. At the age of 2 1/2 my parents divorced, I moved to another state with my mother while my older sister stayed with our father to finish the school year. He had visitation & on one visit, when he picked me up from the airport, he told me my mom no longer loved me or my sister & didn't want anything to do with us anymore (lies). He isolated us from our mother completely-no phone calls or visits.
He was a prominent businessman (alcoholic also) & remarried (a stripper with a coke problem). He traveled overseas frequently & we were left in his new wife's "care"-she slept most of the time. I was raped at the age of 3 by a "friend" of the family. The molestation continued for the duration of my time at my father's home. Looking back, even though I was young, I can remember protecting the man who was abusing me, although exactly why I did this, I don't know.
After my 5th birthday my mom showed up & "stole" my sister & I back. She had remarried. My father disappeared from my life completely. My mother's new husband adopted my sister & I when I was 9. My real father did not even show up to contest the adoption. I heard nothing from him for years until I was 16.
My adopted father was my world. I held him on a pedestal & was a daddy's girl, I ached for his approval & love. We had a very good, close relationship & my home life was stable. My sister was very angry with our real father & would bash him (I defended him & although I was close to my adopted dad, I longed to know my real father) yet she was not close at all to our adopted dad, she would bury herself in books, was a shy girl as opposed to my outgoing, cheerleader, artist people-pleaser personality. I was popular, had a lot of friends, made very good grades, was creative, pretty, etc. I HATED when anyone did not like me, I would cry & obsess over it, spent time & energy trying to fix it.
My real father came back into my life & it upset my adoptive dad. I tried asking my father where he had been for all those years? Why did he not try to be with us? Why did he make no effort to stop the adoption? He never gave answers that made any real sense to me and I became angry with him & my sister embraced the new relationship (which is ironic because I defended him my whole life to my sister).
My senior year in high school my mom & adopted dad divorced. He moved away & gave me an ultimatum to choose between my mom & him. Our relationship deteriorated. I did not see him for several years & when I finally did, my world was rocked-he was scheduled for a sex-change operation. I tried to be supportive, drove 6 hours to be with him for his birthday (this was the first time I saw him as a woman,even though it was pre-op). I tried to be there for him when his own brothers & friends turned their backs on him & his decision.
He called me to tell me his mother (my grandmother for all purposes) had a stroke. I immediately wanted to drive the 5 hours to see her & he told me to wait & he would call me once he got to the hospital. He never did. I tried to contact him-email, phone, letters, his brothers-all to no avail. My godfather & his best friend informed me 8 months later that my grandmother had died.
He still spoke to my adoptive dad & my adoptive dad began bashing me to my godfather. My godfather would tell me all the horrible things my hero/dad had to say about me. I could not open the lines of communication with my adoptive dad, he informed my godfather that he wanted nothing to do with me & never wanted to hear from me again. At the age of 26 I was abandoned again. I have not heard from him since.
I feel an ache/emptiness & have fallen into long term dysfunctional relationships. My last relationship (3 years long) became emotionally, verbally & physically abusive. But I still love him & don't know how to let go of this unhealthy relationship. I think I can fix it but don't know how. Everything I have tried has failed.
I just want to be loved. I just want to feel like I am worthy of love from someone that I love but it just isn't happening. I have felt depressed for over a year & have tried antidepressants but they don't really help & I hate taking some pill everyday. I want to make my relationship work, I love this man despite everything.
I need help. I am feeling hopeless, cursed, unworthy of love. I can't handle the pain that comes with life. I miss my dad everyday. I long for one of his hugs & the love that I felt while I was growing up. I also miss the child I gave up for adoption when I was 19. I am beginning to think that there is no happiness for me in this life, that I don't deserve it.
The man I have been dating has even said that he has never acted like he has in our relationship ever in his life. That I cause a response in him that is unhealthy & I make him lose control of his emotions, turning him violent. I know it is my fault. There is something wrong with me & I don't know how to make whatever it is go away. Help

"If you cuddle a baby, get a promotion, see billboard after billboard of near-naked women or hear a gender stereotype that places one sex at a higher status than the other–don't expect your hormonal state to remain impervious. Our political, social and moral struggles become, quite literally, embodied, incorporated into our very physical being. And so when researchers look for sex differences in the brain, they are hunting a moving target. We are in continuous interaction with the social context." –Cordelia Fine
Social context of this near-naked woman: As I view this photo, thoughts form. What kind of thoughts? Hmm… my culturally-cultivated internalized misogyny is continually coming to the fore which makes it somewhat easier to do away with, since it's conscious. That's good… I am reminded of my newfangled psychological hopes for an unenforced "sexless" freedom and a whole new definition of sexuality that isn't performative or prescriptive (and 'sexuality' in this fantasy of mine means what exactly? an act? an attitude? a continuous, contextual assortment of subjective desires, fears, stasis, etc.?); "sexuality as a way of talking about freedom" (or at least not grounds for belittlement, censure, execution, displacement of fear onto scapegoats who are just hanging out, smoking on wicker chairs..).

Excuse the punning title, but it's been a productive weekend.
I got going on the heated propagator front, with various tomato varieties (gardener's delight, san marzano, yellow scotland and brandywine, off the top of my head), green and purple globe artichokes and physalis all off the starter's blocks.
I would have done even more but half of the plastic trays and lids for one of the propagators have gone AWOL, inexplicably. Much gnashing of teeth ensued as I tried to find them, to no avail. The only upside was that in the process of trying to locate the trays, my groovy retro scales were unearthed from their hiding place (not by me, however) and restored to their rightful place in the kitchen. Actually, they're my sister's and yes, Louise, I know they are really yours and you can pick them up whenever you want them ... If anyone can suggest where I might have hidden them, do let me know, because I'm damned if I know.
I've somewhat changed my sowing scheme this year, trying to sow more thinly to avoid having to do too much thinning, and using a soil mix heavy with vermiculite to help retain moisture. It'll be interesting to see how it all works.

PHP GD library is more than enough for image processing, it supports numerous image formats and offers enough capabilities. But sometimes enough is not enough, sometimes we want to try out ImageMagick, just for the sake of performance, code clarity or just to explore more functionality. So today instead of using PHP GD, we are going to create an image upload and resize script using ImageMagick (PHP) and jQuery.
As you can see GD library is already included in PHP since 4.3. But ImageMagick is not always available for use, most web hosts do offer ImageMagick to their clients, but some don't! So it's better to confirm with yours whether they offer ImageMagick on their server. But if you only want to test it on localhost (Windows), you must install ImageMagick, you can follow these installation steps.
Let's create a basic HTML file input box for image upload. We just want to upload and resize image without refreshing the page, so we will be using jQuery Ajax to facilitate that later. Input field will be hidden here initially, as we will trigger click using jQuery which will trigger "open file" dialog box.
As I mention earlier, user click on text inside upload-wrapper DIV element will open "file open" dialog box, which allows user to choose and upload files. Technique is simple; just using jQuery trigger().
Once user selects a file, we can validate file format before uploading it to server using FileAPI
And then using FormData object and jQuery, we can send file to server as Ajax request. Code below is simple example of posting file to server, but please remember to check Browser compatibility as old browsers do not support XMLHttpRequest 2 and FileAPI features.
ImageMagick is very simple to use. It will resize, distort, crop, explode, blur and do many more on fly. There are various different things you can do with your image, and surprisingly you have less code to write and will look very neat.
Resize Image : For example, here's how simple it is to resize your image using ImageMagick in PHP.
Resize Animated GIF : Some people face problem with Animated GIF in PHP GD, but with ImageMagick it's not a problem. To resize animated GIF file, you can simply follow code below. It will resize your GIF file but keeping your animation intact.
Let's combine these two examples and create our PHP image resizing page. This will allow users to upload regular images as well as animated GIF files.
That's all you need to create an Ajax based image uploader that uses PHP ImageMagick features to resize normal images as well as GIF animated images. If you want to resize images using regular PHP GD, read my another article here.
You can also checkout this step by step video created by Webucator below :
hi, i need for my web portfolio imagick upload class if you working freelance i want to pay
if you interested contact me
Can you please give an example for multiple files?
It runs well but cannot figure out how to make it for multiple files.
I am unable to make it work in my WordPress site. Any ideas where I might be going wrong?Reply
Sorry, I must have been sleeping :)
Found it
the demo doesn't work..
please re-check again.
anyway thanks for your article. :)

The history of HSV Technical Moulded Parts (HSV TMP) can be traced back to the foundation of our sister company, HSV Moulded Foams. This company – like HSV TMP now a separate division of the HSV Group – started manufacturing EPS packaging at a production location in Ede in 1968.
HSV was therefore one of the first companies in the Netherlands to develop and manufacture low-density thermoplastic foams (EPS and EPP). Today, HSV Moulded Foams is one of the leading players in this field and has a number of European production locations. Besides the Netherlands, it also has factories in Poland and the United Kingdom.
HSV Technical Moulded Parts was founded in 1985, following the acquisition of the company Synterials. This company specialised in the development and manufacture of large plastic products using the polyurethane technique.
During the 1990s thermoplastics came to be used increasingly as a substitute for polyurethane. HSV TMP identified this trend and decided to invest in injection moulding machines to process thermoplastics. The company's last polyurethane machines were disposed of in 2012.p>
In 2001 we acquired VOPRA, a plastic-processing company from Leeuwarden with a particular focus on the use of recycled plastics. As a result of this acquisition we now have two factories, each with its own area of specialisation. At our production location in Ede we have access to machines with a clamping force of between 300 and 1,500 tonnes, while in Leeuwarden we have a clamping force of 2,000 to 4,000 tonnes at our disposal.
Today the HSV Group is still a family company and boasts a healthy balance sheet and solid key figures. The market regards us as a reliable partner and we have wisely spread our risks across customers in a wide variety of sectors.
Our Financial Director will be happy to help!

I was just reading an article in The Monitor related to the recently passed amendment known as Proposition 2. My reaction is, shut the heck up. This is complex, so I will have to take it one section at a time. I am not anti-gay, I just think the gay community is being stupid about this.
First, let's establish this. I supported Proposition 2. This amendment basically cements the definition of marriage in the state of Texas as a union between a man and a woman. I have reasons for this. I am a bad Catholic, so I won't use that as a reason. I will use history as an argument. Long ago, a man chose a woman as his wife and if her parents agreed, she was his. That was it. That was marriage. Then, the whole thing was formalized to protect children. If a man married a woman and fathered children, his property was passed to them. If there was a mistress, she did not count, nor did her children. That is all that official marriage is. It protects the rights of official offspring to inherit the wealth of the deceased. If it weren't for marriage, if you were a widow, your father-in-law could take all your husband's property and you would be either cast out or subject to his whims. This is why you go to the courthouse to get a wedding license. Getting married isn't complex. The priest, minister, judge, or official does all the work. Why would you need a license? The reason is, you need to record whom you are marrying so that any legal disputes over inheritance can be resolved. If you die intestate and are married, all your property will go to your wife or husband and children. If there is a testament, things will be divied up according to the will.
Gays and lesbians have the wrong idea about marriage. The ceremony is not the marriage. That's just a publich show. The marriage happens when the papers are filed. Those of us who follow the tradition, even unknowingly, have reason to have supported proposition 2. Marriage is basically an official way to establish lineage and, by extension, inheritance. If you are gay or lesbian, tell me where this is necessary. Your child will be a bastard unless you married in the traditional sense. If you are gay, you need a woman to carry your child. If you are lesbian, you need a sperm donor. Either way, you are involving a third party. If you are truly interested in making an event of your union with your gay or lesbian parter, have a huge event and put an ad in the paper. It may not be legally recognized, but it will be socially recognized. Nothing in the law prevents you from wearing a wedding ring to show your bond.
Let's say that your child is a bastard child. You can still leave a will that gives all your possesions to your child or children (if you are gay). If you are lesbian, as the mother your stuff goes to your children unless your will divides your possessions otherwise.
What about recognition by other entities like insurance companies, hospitals, and such? There is a legal function known as power of attorney. This won't help you with insurance unless the insurance company recognizes "domestic parters". If the state doesn't recognize gay marriage, nothing prohibits private companies from doing so. Their recognition simply won't have legal status in court. However, if your insurance company is willing to accept your significant other as a spouse or dependent, why do you need the state to recognize your union? After all, companies now offer their employees pet insurance. Why wouldn't they try to accomodate gay or lesbian employees?
The same goes for hospitals. If you are listed as power of attorney and are responsible for paying the bills, why wouldn't the hospital allow you to visit or make decisions for your partner? You can pre-shop for hospitals, you know. If I were in the hospital or insurance business, I'd have a niche as the Gay Friendly company. I don't want you to be married like I am, but I don't see why your dollars are worth less than mine. If you want to include your lover in your health insurance, that's fine. If you want your sigificant other to make health decisions for you, I'd have a lawyer on hand to help set up power of attorney. My point is, there are opportunities for those companies willing to accomodate the gay lifestyle regardless of any laws. That ought to be your focus rather than forcing the rest of us to accept a redefinition of the law and tradition.
What I'm saying is that if you are gay or lesbian, you don't need to change traditional marriage. There are ways around the obstacles you face if you really try to find them. I have made some suggestions. Even if you are unsuccessful, will that diminish the love you have for your significant other? Will this prevent you from living a full and happy liffe? I recognize that you face challenges that straight people don't. I hate to give cliche advice, so I'm hating when I say, "take lemons and make lemonade".
If you are truly intellectually honest, by allowing gay marriage or similar arrangements, you are asking 98% of the population to accept the dictates of 2%. Come on, be realistic. When the population is sympathetic to your plight, we will agree. When you try to force it upon us, two letters suffice. F.U. My crudeness is for dramatic effect.
My advice to our homosexual population, don't worry. You're just as gay as you were before Prop 2. You probably still love your partner. You haven't lost anything. Nothing has changed for you that you did not already face. If you are upset, it really is about nothing. You are still free to live your life and love as you wish. The only difference is that you can't force the the rest of Texas to change the definition of marriage. I sincerely wish you good luck and recommend that you set up legal documents to give your partner as much say over your welfare that the rest of us enjoy with our spouses. Most of all, I recommend that you don't be haters. Hating works two ways.

There are many who believe that Jewish law links a menstruating woman (niddah) with that which is dirty. This because the word tameh, associated with the niddah (see for example this week's portion Leviticus 12:2) is often defined as unclean.
If this were true, taharah, the antonym of tumah, would by implication be synonymous with cleanliness. However, Phinehas ben Jair, in a famous comment which was to contribute the outline of Rabbi Moses Hayyim Luzzatto's "The Path of the Just" (Mesillat Yesharim), said that Torah, precision, zeal, cleanliness, restraint, taharah, saintliness, meekness and fear of sin in that order lead to holiness. We learn from this statement that cleanliness and taharah are two distinct categories. So too, is physical uncleanliness not synonymous with tumah.
The truth is that there are several terms in the Torah that have no suitable English equivalent. Such terms should not be translated. Leaving them in the original Hebrew makes the reader understand that a more detailed analysis of the word is necessary. Tumah is one of those words that cannot be perfectly translated and requires a deeper analysis.
Rav Ahron Soloveichik suggested that the real meaning of tumah might be derived from the verse in Psalms, which says: "The fear of the Lord is tehorah, enduring forever." (Psalms 19:10) Taharah therefore means that which is everlasting and never deteriorates. Tumah, the antithesis of taharah, stands for mortality or finitude, that which withers away.
A dead body is considered a primary source of tumah, for it represents decay in the highest sense not only because the corpse itself is in the process of decaying, but also because the living individual who comes into contact with the corpse usually suffers emotionally and endures a form of spiritual fragmentation, a counterpart of the corpse's physical falling away.
The metzora (leper) whose body is encompassed with skin lesions is also considered in a state of tumah. The leper is tameh because he is slowly disintegrating, while those who associate with him decline emotionally as they observe the wasting away of another human being.

2 pages are tagged with Space CaliforniaMusings Families
We headed down to San Diego last weekend for our first trip to the Wild Animal Safari Park and also spent some time at the Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park. It was our second visit to the museum and, again, it was great.
They currently have the NASA Journey to Our Future exhibit and if you haven't seen it in your town yet, you should go for it. It's a lot of fun and unlike a lot of travelling shows the parts and pieces are still in great shape.
I wish it weren't such a haul from LA, because this year they have a kids summer program that looks awesome.
For the fam, here're a few phonepics...
Today, September 11th 2009, at almost 6 in the afternoon, the Space Shuttle Discovery had to land up at Edwards Air Force Base. Earlier in the day I'd heard a casual mention on the radio that we'd be hearing the dual sonic booms in the LA area at around 5:45... but I had no idea just how loud they would be!
Before heading out to pick up my son at kindergarten I put my two mini recorders on the ledge of my office balcony, just hoping that they might pick up something.

Colts | Minor injury for Chester Rogers
Fri, 15 Jun 2018 19:17:58 -0700
Indianapolis Colts WR Chester Rogers (undisclosed) missed all of minicamp with a minor injury.
Rogers dealt with a hamstring issue last year, but it is unclear if this injury is related. He has a chance to open the year as the No. 2 receiver for the Colts, so Rogers could find himself in a great spot if both he and Andrew Luck are healthy. He's not a bad receiver to grab in the later rounds.

Yet another highly successful EA title goes for free under Origin's latest On The House promotion program. Following the recent reveal of Battlefield: Hardline, EA has made Battlefield 3 available for free on Origin.
The game, available to anyone with an Origin account, once added to the account will be available forever and can be downloaded at any time. This free promotion only includes the base game without any DLCs.
On The House offered Dead Space for free last month. Battlefield 3 is actually the second title to go free in May, the first one being Plants vs. Zombies Game of the Year Edition.
Offering such a big title for free with the possibility of a free DLC around E3 (just like Close Quarters was free during E3 2013) shows just how committed EA is to clear up the image set in gamers minds that all EA cares about is money and not the players.
With the disappointments players are facing with Battlefield 4, it would be no surprise if a lot of players return to BF3 following this recent news (even though there is still a huge number of players still playing it).
Origins users can avail this offer till 4th June 2014.

Bharat Book
Global Water Softeners Market
Press Release • Feb 09, 2017 14:34 IST
Bharatbook announces a report on "Global Water Softeners Market". The Report obtain research based business decisions and add weight to presentations and marketing materials.
Water softeners are devices or instruments which are especially designed to reduce hardening components such as magnesium, calcium, manganese and some metal elements in the water resources. Rising technological advancements coupled with introduction of innovative technologies and water softening equipment with improved functionality is projected to drive water softeners market through 2025. Water softeners are widely used in various downstream applications. Water that is majorly consist of carbonates and bi-carbonates of calcium, magnesium and other minerals is hard water, which causes the blockage of water pipes, rusting of water tanks in industrial and residential sectors.

Even as Elias built the first 12-room incarnation of Santa Marina, he groomed his only daughter and heir, Christiana Papageorgiou, to eventually take over the resort (as well as his successful shipping business.) Though Christiana was educated in the UK, she spent every summer in Mykonos learning how to successfully run the family business.
In the late 80s and early 90s, Elias purchased all the land on the peninsula leading to a private beach (making Santa Marina one of the only resorts in Europe with a private beach today) and in 1994 built a variety of different accommodations within the resort, including suites, large apartments, rooms and villas.
After 20 years running the best resort in Mykonos, Elias passed away, and Christiana, now a young mother with children in Athens, inherited Santa Marina. However, far from a carbon copy of her father, Christiana decided to entirely renovate Santa Marina, distinguishing it from the typical blue-and-white Greek hotels that spotted the island. Determined to make Santa Marina unique, she hired interior designer and frequent guest of Santa Marina Silvina Macipe Krontira to completely redecorate and renovate the entire resort. "Even before I knew her well," says Christiana, "I knew I wanted her in charge."
Keeping the charm that made the resort a mainstay, yet constructing an entirely new and unique aesthetic, Christiana and Silvina completely renovated the beach and restaurant areas in 2013. Now, in 2014, the team has renovated the rooms and suites, all of which face the Santa Marina private beach. Using elegant tones and natural materials, the resort fuses graceful bespoke décor with every possible amenity desired by the most discriminating guests. "It's not just about how it looks," explains Christiana. "We care very much about the comfort of our guests. We concentrate on design, not just aesthetic. How a client feels when he walks into a room, by providing striking design, but also equally important is the usage of the room."
Santa Marina, a member of the Luxury Starwood Collection since 1999, had a repeat guest ratio of 50% last year. Even sightseers who don't stay at the resort moor their yachts in the sheltered Ornos Bay, often returning to visit Santa Marina's destination restaurant, Bayview, which as of this year includes a new sushi bar.
Christiana's dedication to creating one of the best resorts in Europe has paid off, and the hotel will remain the premier destination for chic yet effortless luxury in Mykonos for decades to come.

Jeff from CollegeHoops.net's blog March Madness All Season was kind enough to answer some questions about today's opponent, Stephen F. Austin:
SFA features the last two conference P.O.Y. in Jeff Alexander and Matt Kingsley. Break down their games, and how do they match up against Syracuse's predominantly 2-3 zone?
Josh Alexander and Matt Kingsley are a dynamite frontcourt duo, but the two have completely different games. Alexander is an outstanding three-point shooter who can really stretch a defense despite plenty of defensive attention. He is the school's all-time leading scorer and rebounder even though he is just 6-4. He is also the team's Jonny Flynn in terms of minutes, averaging more than 34 minutes per game and playing at least 40 minutes on nine separate occasions. Kingsley, a 6-9 force down low, is a very efficient finisher in the paint who can score and rebound with the best of them. He was the Southland Conference Player of the Year this season, as he dominated inside while Alexander received the majority of the opposition's attention on the perimeter. Against the 2-3, Alexander is going to have to knock down his threes — and he is going to have to hit them consistently. Kingsley has the size and skill-set to perform well down low, but Onuaku's athleticism could give him problems.
Everything from their stats indicates they play a tough man-to-man defense. What is your take on how they play d?
The Lumberjacks are an outstanding defensive team, one of the the best in the country. Despite their slow pace of play, they rank near the top of the nation in defensive efficiency and also rank third in effective field goal percentage defense. They guard the perimeter extraordinarily well and then corral the misses at a high rate. SFA has allowed more than 70 points twice this season, both in victories (including their triple-overtime win against North Dakota State). Even if you look at the BCS conference opponents they played — Texas Tech, Arkansas, Texas A&M — they only gave up an average of fewer than 64 points per game.
Can Syracuse be successful shooting the three against SFA, who is 2nd in the nation in opponents 3-pt pct?
With the style that Stephen F. Austin plays at — a slow, grind-it-out pace played mostly in the half-court — Syracuse is going to have to hit its threes. Devendorf and Rautins are going to have to make the most of their open looks, because they aren't going to come that often. They shouldn't expect too many transition shots, as SFA rarely turns the ball over. Therefore, Devendorf and Rautins are going to have to be active without the ball, moving around to open spots on the perimeter. If they get open, Flynn will be able to find them, as he will likely be guarded by the 5-3 Eric Bell, who has quick hands but is obviously small in stature. Additionally, having a height advantage on the perimeter could be key on the wings, too. Girod Adams is just 5-10, while Devendorf and Rautins run 6-4 and 6-5, respectively. The Orange will be able to get open looks at the basket due to their height — they just have to knock them down, because they might not get an abundance of second-chance opportunities.
SFA won the Southland Conference regular season and tourney. Exactly how tough is this conference? Are we talking the next Missouri Valley (multiple bid teams, big tourney upsets)?
The Southland has been underrated over the past two seasons, but I don't anticipate it becoming the next Missouri Valley. Stephen F. Austin had a decent resume last year and owned a win over Oklahoma, but they weren't deserving of an at-large bid. Basically, there's not enough good teams on a consistent, year-to-year basis to anticipate multiple bids in a given year.
I see you had Flynn/Devendorf/Harris as the Orange trio in your top 10. Any thoughts on Harris' erratic play of late? He seems to be struggling and keeps getting pulled by Boeheim.
I didn't even realize how poorly Harris was playing lately. If you take away his mammoth effort against Connecticut in the six-overtime classic (29 points and 22 rebounds), he is averaging six points and about 4.8 rebounds over his past four games. Furthermore, he has had 10 single-digit scoring efforts in his last 16 games, as compared to just three in his first 18 games. It seems that Syracuse has been operating well offensively without him in the game, as Rautins comes in and provides another shooter on the wing. With the way he has been stroking the ball, it is tough to keep him out of the game. However, Harris could be a real key against Stephen F. Austin. He has the athleticism to give Alexander problems on the wing, and is a very difficult match-up for the Lumberjacks defensively.
What is your prediction for this game?
I think that Stephen F. Austin is a very solid team, and one that could give Syracuse a scare early in the game. The Lumberjacks will slow the game down and not allow many open looks for Syracuse, especially from the perimeter. Plus, they are not going to back down, as this is a very experienced group that has faced several major-conference teams over the past couple of seasons. However, I think that Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense and athleticism will be the difference. SFA was last in the Southland in three-point shooting, and Alexander is really their only consistent perimeter threat. They just don't have enough guns on the wings to shoot over the zone. Additionally, the Orange's frontcourt athleticism will give SFA problems on the boards and inside with Kingsley. Syracuse will pull away in the end in what will very likely be a low-scoring affair. I'll take Syracuse by 12, 66-54.
Thanks, Jeff for some more insight into the Lumberjacks. As for me, I think Syracuse will be able to get some open looks and the zone will keep Kingsley in check.

Scroll Down to Helmet Size Guides
Why not wear a helmet? If you have ever watched the X-Games or the Winter Olympics, it is pretty obvious. Even the most experienced Pro's can catch an edge and get thrown out of balance. One common accident is actually being hit from behind by some skier or snowboarder out of control. So it does not matter how good snowboarder or skier you are, any rider at any level can have an unsuspected fall. Wearing a helmet could make all the difference. In some indoor slopes and resorts it is also a requirement.
Years ago there were a lot of people not wearing a helmet on the slopes. Helmets back then where a lot bigger, heavier and nowhere near as comfortable as today's helmets.
This has changed; today you will see a lot more snowboarders and skiers wearing a helmet. Snowboard & Ski helmets have become a vital piece of equipment for the majority of snowboarders and skiers.
Snowboard & Ski Helmets are now well ventilated, surprisingly light, very comfortable and comes in many different shapes and forms. If you have not tried on a helmet for a couple of years, we highly recommend that you do so now. This is the most important safety equipment that could potentially save your life.
Before ordering a helmet online, it is important to measure your head and check the brand's specific size chart for the particular helmet that you are purchasing. While all of the different brands measure for sizes in centimetres, the sizes do vary by brand and even model. Please note that head shapes are different and therefore there are different types of helmet shapes. We highly recommend trying on a helmet if you can, to ensure you have got the best fit for you.
It is also important to try the helmet on with your goggles to ensure that you are getting a comfortable fit. Your snowboard goggles should fit tightly to your snowboard helmet not leaving any gap between the frame of the helmet and goggle which leaves your skin exposed to the elements. At the Board Basement we call this the twat gap. Having a freezing point on your forehead is extremely uncomfortable.
It is important that the goggles are not pushing down too much on your nose and restricting breathing through your nose.
It is important to keep the measuring tape level and above your ears. You should aim for roughly two fingers width above your eyebrows. This will ensure that you are measuring the largest part of your head.
You want to use a flexible measuring tape or string if you can't find a flexible measuring tape to measure all the way around.
If you need to use a string to measure, simply wrap the string around your head as described above. Then simply measure the length of the string.
As well as using standard sizes, some Brands choose to add levels of customisation to certain models, such as a boa coiler to each size for extra fit and comfort.
You will find the size charts below.
All helmets available at the Board Basement are half shell helmets. They feature a hard shell upper with soft ear flaps and liners providing a more comfortable, adaptable fit while making it easier to hear. There are a few different types of constructions to choose from.
Featured on some Bern helmets, In-Mold or Zip mold snowboard / ski helmets are produced by creating a hard plastic outer shell which is fused with the snowboard helmets impact absorbent foam liner, typically made from EPS foam. In-Mold snowboard helmets are created in a single molding process which means that you can easily spot if the helmet has split on impact. The in-mold construction also allows the manufacturers to sculpt better ventilation systems. This process creates a very lightweight and strong helmet that is more comfortable to wear. All In Mold helmets available at The Board Basement comply with the CE EN and ASTM Certification Standards.
This is the most common helmet construction. Sometimes referred to as ABS Construction, Hard Shell Construction uses an injection molded ABS Shell which is designed to withstand high-impacts. This hard shell is then bonded to an EPS Foam Liner. The EPS hard foam is designed to absorb and break apart on impact. It is therefore important that you inspect your helmet after an impact. As soon as EPS foam has got any cracks, you must replace the helmet. The hard shell of this style of snowboard helmet is typically more durable than an In-Molded Snowboard Helmet Shell and safer that a Hard Hat. All Hardshell / EPS helmets available at The Board Basement comply with the CE EN and ASTM Certification Standards.
Bern technically uses Hard Shell Construction to create their Hard Hats. Instead of using traditional EPS hard foam inside the helmet, Hard Hats use Bern's soft Brock Foam inside their thicker ABS Shell. Brock Foam is open cell foam designed for low multi-impact protection. This means that the hard hat is softer and more breathable and therefore more comfortable. Protective headwear such as Hard Hats designed for multi-impact protection does not comply with the way the CE EN and ASTM Certification Standards are written, and therefore cannot be classified as a helmet. The Bern hard hats are great for the person who normally would not wear a helmet and looking for comfortable and low profile protection.
There are two major certification systems for Snowboard Helmets; CE EN and ASTM. Most snowboard / ski helmets sold at the Board Basement meets the certifications, apart from Bern Hard Hats as they do not meet the standards.
ASTM is one of many American organizations dedicated to testing products to ensure that, in this case, the helmet can provide appropriate protection in simulated crashes. ASTM F2040 is the section regarding recreational snow sports helmets. Snowboard helmets which are awarded this certification status are intended to protect snowboarders and skiers against a hard single impact only. After one serious impact or if you discover cracks in the foam or outer shell of the snowboard / ski helmet you should dispose and replace the helmet.
CE EN is a European based organization that helps to protect consumers by ensuring that products meet certain standards in order to be sold in the European market place. CN EN Certifications are often seen on snowboard helmets, which are produced in Europe. Much like the American rating system snowboard helmets meeting CN EN certifications are designed to protect against a hard single impact only. After one serious impact or if you discover cracks in the foam or outer shell of the snowboard / ski helmet you should dispose and replace the helmet.
Ventilation is great if you are using the helmet in warmer conditions. The ventilation will create a cooling air flow inside the helmet so you don't get too hot. If you know that you normally get really warm or you are going to ride during spring, you should definitely considering a helmet with vents. There are fixed and adjustable vents. Please use the filters on our website to find a helmet featuring vents. As the ventilation types vary, please read product descriptions for details.
If you normally feel cold, maybe a helmet without ventilation is the better option for you, as they will hold the warmth better.
If you prefer to listen to your favourite music whilst cruising down the slopes, then you should look at a helmet featuring Audio speakers. Many of the helmets available at The Board Basement come with speakers integrated with the liner. Audio liners are also sold separately if you would like to update your non audio helmet. Please make sure you order compatible audio liners for your helmet. However, it is more economical to purchase a helmet already featuring audio system as buying audio liners separately can be much more expensive.
They are not just there for styling. The peaks are there to prevent cold wind blowing on your forehead by creating a wind shield. A peak / visor are also good at stopping rain and snow from landing on your face or goggles and protecting you and your goggles if you are riding amongst trees.
Most snowboard helmets available at The Board Basement have removable winter liners to accommodate washing / cleaning them and replacing them with audio liners.
You can replace the winter liners with a summer liner for use as a skate or bike helmet.
Please be aware that just because the winter liners are removable doesn't make it suitable for all year round use. Check the product description for the specific snowboard / ski helmet to ensure that it is truly designed for all seasons.
