3 skiers killed in Wash. avalanche; 4th survived
STEVENS PASS, Wash. — Well-equipped and familiar with the terrain, about a dozen expert skiers were making their way through a foot-and-a half of fresh snow when an avalanche hit them in an out-of-bounds area near a popular Washington ski resort.
Three men were killed Sunday when they were swept about a quarter-mile down a canyon, and a fourth skier caught up in the slide was saved by a safety device, authorities said. The large group had split into three smaller groups before the avalanche, but all the backcountry skiers were buried to some extent. Those who were able to free themselves rushed to dig out the victims and unsuccessfully performed CPR on the three, believed to be in their 30s and 40s.
"Most of the people involved in this were well-known to the ski community up here, especially to the ski patrol," said Deputy Chris Bedker of the King County Sheriff's search-and-rescue unit. "It was their friends who they recovered."
The Stevens Pass fatalities were part of a deadly Sunday on Washington ski slopes. A male snowboarder was killed in a separate avalanche incident at the Alpental ski area east of Seattle, authorities said.
The men who died on Stevens Pass tumbled approximately 1,500 feet down a chute in the Tunnel Creek Canyon area, King County Sheriff's Sgt. Katie Larson said.
The fourth skier who was swept down the mountain about 80 miles northeast of Seattle was a woman who appeared to avoid a similar fate because of the avalanche safety device she was wearing, Larson said.
ESPN.com identified the survivor as professional skier Elyse Saugstad, who said she used an airbag after the avalanche hit. ESPN Freeskiing editor Megan Michelson was among the skiers and was uninjured, it said.
Michelson said the initial slide was about 30 feet wide and three feet deep, but quickly grew as it swept away Saugstad and the three victims.
Saugstad said she immediately deployed the airbag from her backpack, crediting it with saving her life.
"I was completely buried except for my head and hands" after coming to a rest, she said.
Two of the victims were found nearby, while the third was carried "several hundred feet" farther down the mountain, Saugstad said.
Michelson said the remaining skiers called for help and skied the length of the avalanche track looking for victims, Michelson said.
"The debris pile at the bottom was massive," Michelson said.
Initial reports of the avalanche reached the sheriff's office just after noon, and for some time it wasn't clear whether the other skiers had also been swept up in the slide.
The Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center on Sunday issued a warning for high avalanche danger for areas above 5,000 feet, saying warmer weather could loosen surface snow and trigger a slide on steeper slopes. The elevation of the avalanche wasn't immediately clear.
At mid-afternoon, the temperature at the base of the Stevens Pass ski resort was 24 degrees, with light winds and good visibility. The temperature at the top of the mountain was 22 degrees, according to the resort's website.
John Gifford, the ski area's general manager, said Sunday that the resort had received 19 inches of snow in the past 24 hours.
He described the area as a popular backcountry skiing zone that can be easily accessed from the resort.
He said the slopes there are steeper than at the resort and lack the resort's avalanche control
"You need to be a highly skilled skier to do that," he said.
Stevens Pass is one of the most popular outdoor recreation areas in the state, with visitors flocking to the scenic site to go cross-country, back-country and downhill skiing, as well as snowshoeing and backpacking.
Across the West, there had been 13 avalanche deaths this season as of Thursday, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, which tracks avalanche deaths in the U.S.
Experts have said the risk of additional slides in the region could remain high all season. They attribute the dangers in part to a weak base layer of snow caused by a dry winter.
Avalanche deaths are more common in the backcountry than at ski resorts. Out of about 900 avalanche deaths nationwide since the winter of 1950-51, 32 were within terrain that was open for riding at ski resorts, according to the Utah Avalanche Center.

"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
"To every cow its calf; to every book its copy."
Irish Proverb
"He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn."
"And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount."
"Show the fatted calf but not the thing that fattened him."
"Then she gave something to the chief, and it was a pipe with a bison calf carved on one side to mean the earth that bears and feeds us, and with twelve eagle feathers hanging from the stem to mean the sky and the twelve moons, and these were tied with a grass that never breaks,"
Black Elk
"All the farmers come in here. They tell you and you hear about a calf missing there, a couple head missing from a herd here."

Tony Godino
"U.S. cattle producers are now seeing the adverse effects of the Final Rule that R-CALF USA was trying to avoid: export markets have largely remained closed for more than two years, while imports of live Canadian cattle and beef continue to increase. This is depressing U.S. prices because many U.S. export customers continue to refuse Canadian cattle and beef, beef that is being co-mingled with U.S. beef but not marked as such."
Chuck Kiker
"It was one of the worst ankle injuries I've seen. It was swollen half way up his calf, like a limp fish. But Troy had youth on his side. And he worked hard. I knew if he was going to recover, it was going to be all him."

Es/Material didáctico
The overall aim of the Learning material project is to create a comprehensive series of tutorial articles to teach all the W3C technologies, which will constantly be updated so that it remains current and best practice. The main basis of this is currently the web standards curriculum. Below are the activities this project is currently undertaking, or has undertaken.
- 1 Current activities
- 1.1 Positioning document for web ed learning material
- 1.2 Migrating HTML material to the Wiki
- 1.3 Migrating translations
- 1.4 Web standards curriculum update
- 1.5 Update web design concepts section
- 1.6 Update accessibility section
- 1.7 Update CSS sections
- 1.8 Write plan for JavaScript material
- 1.9 Write the mobile web course
- 1.10 Write SVG course
- 1.11 Write guide to educational theories and terms
- 2 Past activities
Current activities
Positioning document for web ed learning material
Migrating HTML material to the Wiki
General section of tips.
First of all, you should find a good HTML to Wiki text converter. http://w-i-k-i.appspot.com/ is really good.
Migrating translations
I also want to get the translations migrated over to this Wiki at some point.
We want to use a separate section for each set of translations, and identify each one via its two (or four, if appropriate) letter language code.
We should work out the best way to do this. Are we able to put translations in separate directories, eg
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/How_does_the_Internet_work
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/jp/How_does_the_Internet_work
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/es/How_does_the_Internet_work
Or should we just append the language code on to the URLs, eg
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/How_does_the_Internet_work
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/How_does_the_Internet_work_jp
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/How_does_the_Internet_work_es
Or both?
Thoughts on a postcard please!
Web standards curriculum update
The web standards curriculum originally lived on Opera's http://dev.opera.com site, but Opera decided to move it to the W3C to improve visibility, and find more people to help out with an update. One thing we are currently doing is going through all the original articles and giving them an update to bring them up to date, and adding any new articles that need adding. Chris Mills has been doing this, and recording update made in the discussion page of each article. So if you want to work on this, check first that an update has not already been done. A procedure to follow:
- Check the overall plan of what needs to be done on the WSC proposed updates page.
- Find an article to update that interests you.
- Check that it has not already been updated by looking on the discussion page for the article (see the "discussion" tab at the top left of all Wiki pages).
- Do the update. What we want you to do is:
- Give it a general update, tidy it up, and make it read better.
- Update things that are out of date, for example adding more recent design methodologies, or adding relevant HTML5 and CSS3 features.
- Change it from first person to third person, eg, instead of "I did this", change to "we did this" - since the Wiki is mass edited, a single voice is no longer appropriate, even if the vast majority of an article is written by one person.
- When you have finished, add a comment to the top of that article's discussion page to say that you have updated it, and what you have done. include the date on which you made the update, and say whether you think it is ready for proof reading/translation.
Articles in progress
Chris Mills is now working on the CSS background images article. He is also considering doing a write up of the new CSS3 text and font stuff, like font-feature-settings
, hyphens
, etc.
Already updated
- The beginning
- Introduction to the world of web standards
- HTML beginnings
- The HTML body
- CSS_basics
- Inheritance and cascade
- Advanced_CSS_selectors
- Text styling with CSS
But anything else is currently up for grabs. Add a note here saying what you are working on.
Proof reading
Up for grabs:
Mark DuBois has proof read:
- The beginning
- Introduction to the world of web standards
- The HTML body
- CSS_basics
- Inheritance and cascade
- Advanced_CSS_selectors
- Text styling with CSS
Update web design concepts section
The Web design concepts section is currently a bit out of date, and needs an overhaul.
Here's the newest draft of the outline.
- Website's main goal : why do i want to build this website ?
- What is the marketing/communication issue I want to solve?
- Would a website solve this issue? How?
- Targets : who's my website for ?
- Scoping and user research
- Defining my information/content architecture.
- Defining the content
- What I want to share
- What visitors would search for
- How much ? (ideas, signs)
- Finalizing the content
- Building the structure
- Finalizing the data architecture
- Defining the content
- Website's anatomy
- The skeleton
- Home
- Header
- Navigation
- Content / Context
- Footer
- Legals informations
- Understanding the UX, SEO and Accessibility
- UI Core concepts
- Medias (mobile, screen...)
- Constraints specific to devices
- The grid
- The skeleton
- Let's build a prototype
- Wireframing the website
- Let's test the usability of this prototype.
- Graphic design
- The grid : act II ;
- Graphic design and accessibillity (contrast and size) ;
- Colours sheme and meaning ;
- Illustrating a content ;
- Typography on web.
Of course, feel free to expand this and add ideas. I am intending this section to be a high level overview right now. Future courses could go into things like UX and IA in much more detail.
Web design concepts update contributors
- Lewis Nyman
- Sébastien Desbenoit
Update accessibility section
The accessibility section also needs a lot of updating, in Chris's opinion. The two articles that are there are very well written, but I think the subject could do with a more granular and structured treatment, along the lines of:
Some of this is covered in the resources listed under Evaluating Websites for Accessibility, Implementation Plan for Web Accessibility, Improving the Accessibility of Your Website - THE LEGAL SIDE OF THINGS, EXPLAINED IN DETAIL
W3C generally would not publish legal advice or analysis. Some carefully vetted legal information is linked under Policy Resources - DECIPHERING WCAG, AND OTHER CONFORMANCE CRITERIA SUCH AS SECTION 508
This should be covered by WCAG Overview, The WCAG 2.0 Documents, and Using WCAG 2. Specific information on Section 508 is outside the scope of what W3C would publish. - ACCESSIBILITY TOOLS, WHAT TO USE AND WHAT TO AVOID. HOW FAR WILL THESE GET YOU?
This should be covered in Selecting Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools - REAL A11Y TESTING WITH REAL PEOPLE, HOW TO PUT TOGETHER FOCUS GROUPS, WHAT TO LOOK FOR HERE
This should be covered in Involving Users in Web Projects for Better, Easier Accessibility - COMMON SENSE - SOLUTIONS FOR COMMON ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES - A ROADMAP FOR FIXING ISSUES. START WITH SEMANTIC HTML, THEN GO TO VIDEO AND AUDIO CONTENT, JAVASCRIPT, AJAX, ALTERNATIVES.
Through the WAI-ACT project, we plan to address this through "application notes"
Suggestions for improvements to the existing WAI material is welcome to email@example.com !
The accessibility two articles are also out-of-date and contain some material that would not be appropriate published by W3C. EOWG is updating Accessibility Basics and considering what to do about the accessibility testing information, in light of the existing Testing/Evaluation info, which is being updated.
The education and outreach group have some material than can be contributed to this, I'm sure! Of course, feel free to expand this and add ideas.
Accessibility update contributors
- Shawn Henry and the EOWG
Update CSS sections
The CSS section is fairly complete, but could do with some updates to bring it up to date and add coverage of some of the features not already covered, eg CSS3 stuff. See http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/WSC_proposed_updates#CSS for more info on what needs to be updated, according to Chris. Feel free to add some more ideas.
CSS update contributors
- Chris Mills: email@example.com
- Lewis Nyman
Write plan for JavaScript material
At the moment, the JavaScript core skills section has some good material in it, but it is far from complete. The original WSC JavaScript articles were created this way because there was no way I had time to create a complete JavaScript course, so I chose to just cover enough to give basic familiarity with some of the core concepts. But I think the new W3C learning material needs to be more complete.
There are a few ideas recorded at:
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/WSC_proposed_updates#JavaScript
- http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/WSC_proposed_updates#HTML5_APIS
But I really need someone to pick this up and write out a decent structure for our JavaScript material, to give us an idea of what we need to cover. I am haoping that we'll be able to adopt some material from somewhere else (for example Mozilla MDN), and not have to write the whole lot out ourselves!
JavaScript material planners
- Richard D Worth
Write the mobile web course
At the moment, the mobile web development section is very sparse - only one article! Ideally we want to create a much bigger structured course - some notes have been written at
But feel free to update and change this as much as you like.
Bear in mind that quite a lot of "mobile web" content would have already been covered in other places, and we don't need to cover it twice. There is no reason why you can't point to other materials in the learning material for some subjects. For example, there should already be articles on media queries and viewport inside the CSS section.
Articles in progress
Wai Seto is now working on Media Queries and Browser Detection (Feature, UA)
Mobile web course contributors
- Wai Seto
- Lewis Nyman
- Mark DuBois
- Siddharth Srivastava
Write SVG course
We need volunteers to write SVG material!
There is currently no SVG content in the W3C learning material, but this really needs to change, as it is such an important standard to cover. There are ideas for what material should be written at
Feel free to add more ideas.
Contributors to SVG course
- Jeremie Patonnier
- Shwetank Dixit
Write guide to educational theories and terms
- Activity lead: Panagiotis G. Peteinatos
- Activity contributor: Chris Mills
The field of educational science is full of different theories and terms (eg Connectivism, Behaviourism), and the whole area is pretty chaotic and hard to digest, especially by non-educational scientists. We are aiming to produce an easy to digest guide to these educational theories, to help web professionals and educators understand these theories, and improve their teaching/learning practices.
Past activities
Migrating material from the general W3C Wiki to the WebEd CG Wiki
November 17th 2011
Before doing any more article updates, we need to move all the web standards curriculum material currently on the W3C Wiki (http://www.w3.org/wiki/Web_Standards_Curriculum) to the main page of the Web Education community group Wiki (http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/Main_Page). The latter is where we will do all of the collaborative work on the W3C learning material.
I have done much of the migration tasks already, but I'd like to ask for volunteers to help me out where these!
To Migrate an article:
- Open up the article in both the old Wiki and new Wiki, eg http://www.w3.org/wiki/CSS_basics and the CSS basics link on http://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/Main_Page.
- Make sure you are logged in to both locations.
- Click edit on the old Wiki, and the new Wiki.
- Copy all the source text from the old to the new, and click Save.
- Go to the Old Wiki page, and save all the images somewhere on your local drive
- Go through the new Wiki page, and for each image link
- Click on it
- Select the relevant image using the file dialog
- Click the back button until you get back to the main page, and refresh the page
- You also need to copy the discussion notes for the article over - do the same thing as you did for the main article, but for the contents of the "Discussion" tabs.
- Once an article is migrated, mark it with "(MOVED)" like I've done in the old Wiki!
Let me know if you need any help!
Migrating HTML and CSS references
I also want to migrate the awesome HTML and CSS references to this Wiki, see
- http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements
- http://www.w3.org/wiki/CSS/Properties
- http://www.w3.org/wiki/CSS/Selectors

In the mood for a fun celebrity fact to share at parties or on boring dates or over a particularly awkward Thanksgiving dinner with your family? Congratulations, I have one for you. Chris Pratt, that lovable funny guy from Parks and Recreation, used to be an amateur stripper when he was 18. He shared the tidbit in a new interview with Buzzfeed, and the explanation he gives for why he got into the clothes-removing business is priceless.
"I was always a very much naked person. I loved to always get naked. I was very free, so I thought, I may as well get paid."
Maybe it's just that I have a difficult time separating actors from their famous characters if I don't know much about them as people, but that sounds like such an Andy Dwyer way of explaining it. Like, I just really liked getting naked all the time, so I figured I might as well get paid for it. Duh.
Apparently one of Chris's stripping gigs was at the birthday party of his friend's grandma, which is pretty awkward, but probably not quite as awkward as being naked in front of your own grandma (ahem, Justin Bieber). But I've never stripped in front of any grandmas (I know, I'm such a prude), so I won't make that call.
"It was a surprise," he said, laughing. "I don't know how it got around to them, but they paid me $40. I was never like Magic Mike, you know. I did go one time and audition on a stage for a club, but I don't think I got the job. I don't think I'm a very good dancer."
Aww, Aaaandy. Er, I mean aww, Chriiiis. I'm sure he's a perfectly acceptable dancer. We at least know he can get his body into crazy good shape, as evidenced by those shirtless selfies he's shared. I think Channing Tatum should watch his back. He definitely felt a disturbance in the Force just now and has caught on to the fact that someone's stealing his former stripper thunder. They should probably have a stripper dance battle to resolve this feud I just invented, wouldn't you agree?

The model features a 1.5, 120, 000 pixel LCD display with a multi-language menu. CAMEDIA Master 4.2 software is also supplied with the camera.
The C-160 main features
- 3.2 million pixels
- 5mm AF (equivalent to 38mm on a 35mm camera), f2.8 lens
- 1.5 LCD with multi-language menu
- 4 scene programmes (Portrait, Self Portrait, Night Scene, Landscape)
- Movie recording function
- PictBridge support
A footnote:
Olympus' new sunshine LCD technology enables you to review your shots even in direct sunlight. A standard display reflects sunlight from its surface and therefore in bright sunshine it is difficult to review an image. The sunshine LCD, however, has semi-transparent layers which enable the sunlight to penetrate a few layers into the panel. This light is reflected by the underside of the liquid crystal layer and with additional 'back light', the images are much clearer and brighter. The display also adjusts its brightness to cater for the surrounding light conditions, whether it be on a beach or in a brightly-lit room.

Q: My daughter has just been diagnosed with Crohn's disease. What is it, and what is the treatment?
A: Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, joint pains, weight loss, weakness and fatigue. It's caused by inflammation of the small (and sometimes the large) intestine.
No one knows for sure what triggers Crohn's disease. An infection with bacteria that live in the intestines may start the process by activating the immune system.
Usually, Crohn's disease symptoms come and go. They may go away completely, and then return. For many of my patients with this disease, this on-again, off-again course of the disease is the most difficult thing to deal with. After a few relapses, people live every day wondering if the disease is going to return again.
The inflammation of Crohn's disease involves the inside lining and deeper layers of the intestine wall. The inside lining can thicken or wear away in spots. This creates ulcers, cracks and fissures - little tunnels that burrow through the wall of the intestine and sometimes spill infected material into the inside of the abdomen. Ulcers and inflammation can occur in all areas of the digestive tract, from the mouth to the rectum. The eyes and joints may also be affected.
There is no cure for Crohn's disease, but medications can effectively improve symptoms. Most of the drugs work by preventing inflammation.
A group of drugs called aminosalicylates is usually the first treatment choice. These drugs suppress inflammation in the intestine and joints. They can be taken by mouth as pills, or by rectum as an enema.
Certain antibiotics kill bacteria in irritated areas of the bowel and may decrease inflammation. In people who have diarrhea from the disease, antidiarrheal medications such as loperamide (Imodium) may be helpful. Other, more powerful anti-inflammatory drugs may be helpful. But they can suppress your immune system.
The newest drugs for Crohn's disease are called tumor necrosis factor blockers. TNF is a substance made by immune system cells that causes inflammation. TNF blockers have serious side effects. They are generally prescribed for moderate to severe Crohn's disease that hasn't responded to other therapies. Infliximab (Remicade) and adalimumab (Humira) are TNF inhibitors.
Surgery to remove a section of the bowel is another possible treatment - usually reserved for severe cases.
Crohn's disease was once thought to be caused by psychological problems. Why? In my opinion, it's because doctors couldn't figure out what caused it, so they assumed it must be psychological. Today, we know that certain genes are linked to the disease, and that the gut's immune system is overactive. Crohn's disease is not in a patient's head; it's in her digestive tract.

Key SC Series OS and software advantages are summarized below. See individual spec sheets and product documentation for additional features and specific platform support.
Self-optimizing, automated storage
Based on actual use and application performance requirements, SC Series Data Progression automatically optimizes your drive tiers and RAID levels for performance and cost savings. By default, all new data is written to fastest Tier 1 drives at RAID 10 performance levels, then converted to economical RAID 5/6 for subsequent reads.As data ages, it's moved to less expensive storage until it becomes more active again. All-flash and hybrid arrays can leverage the unique attibutes of write- and read-intensive SSDs in combination. Data is precisely where it's needed, when it's needed – the perfect combination of high IOPs and cost savings.
Space savings in the data center
• Intelligent deduplication* and compression for all storage tiers and drive types
• Dynamic Capacity (thin provisioning) completely separates storage allocation from utilization, enabling you to allocate any size volume up front yet only consume physical capacity on write
• Data Instant Replays solves tradeoff issues between snapshot granularity and capacity cost savings
• Remote Instant Replay ("thin replication") offers a cost-effective disaster recovery solution
Advanced data mobility, business continuity and security
The SC Series Live Migrate "storage hypervisor" feature, included with the base product, allows you to move data seamlessly between arrays without remapping your hosts, optimizing utilization of available capacity and cache across federated multi-array systems.Live Volume auto-failover offers a native business continuity solution, providing volume-level protection from unplanned outages with no need for additional hardware or software.
And, to avoid data loss or compromise from physical security breaches, the SC Series offers a complete range of FIPS 140-2 certified self-encrypting drives (SEDs) in both SSD and HDD formats, plus support for leading third-party key managers.
Intuitive management at your fingertips
Dell Storage Manager (DSM, formerly known as Enterprise Manager) provides comprehensive monitoring and management of all local and remote SC Series arrays. With DSM you can streamline administration and reduce operating costs with advanced features like volume-level QoS, VVols support and departmental "charge-back" reporting, allowing instant visibility and control of a multi-terabyte, multi-location environment.DSM also allows you to perform day-to-day tasks across SC and PS Series arrays from a single management interface. Easy-to-use data replication and migration between platforms gives PS customers flexibility to add SC arrays to their environment, if and when they choose.
Data center automation with leading technology partner integrations
With the introduction of Application Protection Manager for Oracle and now enhanced for the Linux environment, you can create application-consistent Replays for Oracle databases. Combined with Storage Center Data Instant Replay (DIR), it will ensure reliable application, consistent backup and recovery of Oracle and Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) enabled applications (Exchange, SQL and Hyper-V) and VMware virtual machines (VMs).

What do YOU do for a living? Let's what everyone does! I work as a Paramedic so I work shift hours and was curious as to how many if any forumers also work shifts. I know I tend to come on here during the night while on call. I find that my name ends up being practically in every section as everyone is asleep and we get no responses! What does everyone do for a living? |
:shock: A Paramedic. Do you enjoy your job? I'd of loved to have done something like that. My husband and father in law have their own recycling business. I do all the accounts and wages etc. I really enjoy my job, and as I only do four hours a day, four/five days a week it allows me to have lots of quality time with the kids and gee gee's! :D |

Well thats me most of the time, and on holidays i get to go home for 2 and a half weeks to see my lovely horses :D |
M2G I never noticed your post time being in the wee hours of the morning. I get in here as early as 4-5am but just cause I'm an early riser. I am semi-retired, just take care of the hubby and farm. I worked 15 years in dispatch/communications for a large aircraft company. I worked the 4:30pm to midnight shift the whole time I was there. Our little town is always looking for 911 dispatchers and I often think of applying but not sure if I could do the stress anymore. |
Even tho it was never my intent I seem to have worked in food service for the most part.. I worked at the local cafe for 12 yrs, quit to babysit my granddaughter after my sons divorce.. Now I am Lunchlady at the Primary school(k-2grade) so I am off work when school is out etc.. Helps with the babysitting aspect.. Otherwise I've been a homemaker. |
Receptionist at the moment :P |
i clean at a hardware shop on thursdays (4:30pm - 7:00pm...or 6:00...i think lol!) and saturdays.. just started last week!! its where my step-mum works and where my 2 older sisters used to work so i know heaps of people there |
I am a poor student and i have a job cleaning at a small buisness |
Hey, my brother is a Paramedic. How cool is that. Right now I am a movie theater supervisor. I won't count myself a manager until I get my keys. Soon though, I will be going to school. I'll try to find a job in that town, or see if some of our family friends needs a groom. |

We diagnose, treat, repair and manage the complete rehabilitation of injuries to the hand, wrist, elbow, arms and shoulder. Patients from elite athletes and active adults to children and disabled seniors with unique care requirements turn to The Philadelphia and South Jersey Hand Centers for expert care.
We continue to improve techniques and develop innovative protocols for the treatment of injured and diseased hands. The physicians of The Hand Centers have developed a number of innovations now used by surgeons throughout the world. Research remains an important part of The Hand Centers' mission.
By combining dedication to research, education, training, high levels of patient satisfaction and quality outcomes, The Philadelphia Hand Centers continue to lead the way to recovery for their patients. Recognized as one of the World's leading centers for hand care, the Hand Centers are also extraordinarily convenient to patients in the Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
A Heritage of Excellence
In 1976, The Philadelphia Hand Centers held their first seminar for surgeons and therapists. This academically focused annual event is known as The Philadelphia Meeting. Celebrating over 20 years of success, it continues to attract professionals in hand surgery and rehabilitation from nearly every state and numerous foreign countries.
Optimizing the Patient Experience
The Philadelphia Hand Center continually works to perfect the arrangement of medical teams centered about expert physician practitioners. This system gives patients a consistent experience. The same people are encountered from the receptionist at the front desk to the medical assistant and nurse practitioner in the office. In a large busy practice, this consistency to patient care dramatically improves the patient experience.
Our offices also provide radiology and hand therapy services. This helps to streamline the patient care process. Patients do not need to go to a radiology facility for x-rays, come to our office, and go elsewhere for therapy. In short, we truly try to respect the busy lives of our patients (and their families) by combining these services into convenient locations. Our therapy department provides a personalized approach to patient care that is unparalleled by other medical organizations.
Research, Advanced Training and Fellowship
We have a long-standing reputation for advanced research and we maintain an internationally respected academic fellowship program and other teaching programs.
We have trained more than 100 fellows: licensed physicians who have learned our specialty. A two-volume resource that is edited by The Hand Center can be found in the finest universities and medical schools. Now in its fifth edition, Rehabilitation of the Hand: Surgery and Therapy, is the leading resource material about the hand and arm.

About this font family
This font is based on the lettering found on the Midway Gardens working drawings. It evokes the personality of Frank Lloyd Wright in a way that complements the other fonts in the P22 FLLW font series. This type of architectural lettering is a bit more casual than standard lettering found on most blueprints.
Midway One and Midway Two can be used interchangeably to give a more naturalistic feeling of hand lettering. Midway Two is slightly narrower in some letters but otherwise it has the same feeling and proportions as Midway One. Midway Ornaments features over 100 decorative border elements that can be combined in many ways for surprising and effective decorative motifs.

On the ark was the mercy-seat, and above the mercy-seat were the cherubim.
An' then there was pomegranates an' cherubim, an' as for silver an' gold, they were as common as dirt.
Kuenen's notion that the cherubim had come to the Jews through the Phœnicians from the Assyrians is quite improbable.
The cherubim and Seraphim have wings that elevate them above our zenith.
He bowed the heavens, and came down on the cherubim, and hovered on the wings of the wind.
But this I affirm to you, Elmer; of politics I am innocent like there never was a cherubim!
His ranks of the cherubim are beside Him, and the armies of the Seraphim are dreadful.
The cherubim stood in the holy of holies as guardians of the ark of the covenant.
On the top of this ark were two cherubim with their wings covering the ark where the glory of God rested.
A chorus of cherubim and seraphim could not have left her more uplifted.
late 14c. as an order of angels, from Late Latin cherub, from Greek cheroub, from Hebrew kerubh (plural kerubhim) "winged angel," perhaps related to Akkadian karubu "to bless," karibu "one who blesses," an epithet of the bull-colossus. Old English had cerubin, from the Greek plural.
The cherubim, a common feature of ancient Near Eastern mythology, are not to be confused with the round-cheeked darlings of Renaissance iconography. The root of the terms either means "hybrid" or, by an inversion of consonants, "mount," "steed," and they are winged beasts, probably of awesome aspect, on which the sky god of the old Canaanite myths and of the poetry of Psalms goes riding through the air. [Robert Alter, "The Five Books of Moses," 2004, commentary on Gen. iii:24]
sing. cherub
One of the groups of the angels.
Note: God is often described in the Old Testament as sitting on a throne supported by cherubim.
Note: In the art of the Renaissance, cherubim (or cherubs) are depicted as chubby babies with wings. Hence, a person with a chubby, childlike face may be called "cherubic."
plural cherubim, the name of certain symbolical figures frequently mentioned in Scripture. They are first mentioned in connection with the expulsion of our first parents from Eden (Gen. 3:24). There is no intimation given of their shape or form. They are next mentioned when Moses was commanded to provide furniture for the tabernacle (Ex. 25:17-20; 26:1, 31). God promised to commune with Moses "from between the cherubim" (25:22). This expression was afterwards used to denote the Divine abode and presence (Num. 7:89; 1 Sam. 4:4; Isa. 37:16; Ps. 80:1; 99:1). In Ezekiel's vision (10:1-20) they appear as living creatures supporting the throne of God. From Ezekiel's description of them (1;10; 41:18, 19), they appear to have been compound figures, unlike any real object in nature; artificial images possessing the features and properties of several animals. Two cherubim were placed on the mercy-seat of the ark; two of colossal size overshadowed it in Solomon's temple. Ezekiel (1:4-14) speaks of four; and this number of "living creatures" is mentioned in Rev. 4:6. Those on the ark are called the "cherubim of glory" (Heb. 9:5), i.e., of the Shechinah, or cloud of glory, for on them the visible glory of God rested. They were placed one at each end of the mercy-seat, with wings stretched upward, and their faces "toward each other and toward the mercy-seat." They were anointed with holy oil, like the ark itself and the other sacred furniture. The cherubim were symbolical. They were intended to represent spiritual existences in immediate contact with Jehovah. Some have regarded them as symbolical of the chief ruling power by which God carries on his operations in providence (Ps. 18:10). Others interpret them as having reference to the redemption of men, and as symbolizing the great rulers or ministers of the church. Many other opinions have been held regarding them which need not be referred to here. On the whole, it seems to be most satisfactory to regard the interpretation of the symbol to be variable, as is the symbol itself. Their office was, (1) on the expulsion of our first parents from Eden, to prevent all access to the tree of life; and (2) to form the throne and chariot of Jehovah in his manifestation of himself on earth. He dwelleth between and sitteth on the cherubim (1 Sam. 4:4; Ps. 80:1; Ezek. 1:26, 28).

Road worthy volunteers
Volunteers are an integral part of the Oak Bay Emergency Program.
"We are always looking for volunteers," said Eileen Grant, emergency programs manager.
Volunteers are trained for three different teams; the emergency support services team, the emergency preparenedness education team and the emergency communications team.
Those who are interested can learn how to operate the Mobile Emergency Response Vehicle (MERV).
MERV can be used as a mobile reception centre in an emergency or as a mobile command post for the communications team, said Grant.
"We show them how the whole thing works, how it unpacks, how the communications people use it and show people how to operate the generators," said Grant. "Then the firefighters help us set up a driving course and they take our volunteers through the driving course and get them familiar with MERV."
If volunteers decide they enjoy driving MERV and are comfortable with it, they must go through subsequent authorization in order to operate the vehicle.
"The firefighters give us an opinion on whether or not they can really drive MERV," said Grant.

Am I overdoing it perhaps?
I have no complaints about weight loss (too much or not enough) or anything like that. However I'd just like to ensure I'm on the right track :)
I work as a massage therapist so my body already takes a pretty good beating.
Outside of work I am eating 1000-1200 calories a day (my mornings are just a special K protein shake as Im not a breakfast person)...
I keep it lean and healthy, as organic as possible. However my question is this, I do a brisk walk/run alternating for 60 minutes 6 days a week followed by an hour of weight training on the "circuit".
I'm losing weight steadily and I'm finding my muscles are definitely better able to handle the demands of my job.... but could I be lifting too much??
Thanks for any input :)
(And I know, LOL I need to add some sort of aerobics, I'm looking at Zumba and a few others throughout the week to replace the treadmil with)
Fri. Sep 17, 6:22pm
I don't think you are overdoing the exercise. I LOVE zumba.
I don't understand doing "an hour of weight training on the circuit." Does that mean you are doing weights for your entire body six days a week? If you are doing this, there are two problems. Your body is going to get used to the same routine, so you should change it up. Also, you should have a day of rest between working the same body part with weights. It's during this rest phase that your muscles actually grow. Weight training breaks down the muscle and the rest period is for the growth.
Great job with the weight loss. You are doing something right!!
Saturday, September 18, 2010, 10:50 AM
Also, make sure you're eating enough. 1000-1200 cal/day is pretty low, especially if you're lifting, doing cardio, and have an active lifestyle.
Saturday, September 18, 2010, 12:00 PM
Couldn't agree more with the pp! Under 1200 calories a day is dangerous for any period of time.
Saturday, September 18, 2010, 6:16 PM
Why do you think you might be overdoing it? If you feel great and are enjoying the process as well as the results there is no reason to change anything. One hour of weights in a fast circuit would be enough cardio for me, but I am not you. If you think you are not getting the 'bang for the buck' out of the time you are spending exercising, try a couple sessions with a trainer.

Times Literary Supplement ' A genuinely new insight into the man and into the sixteenth century as a whole.' John M. Todd, The New York Times Book Review 'Bouwsma's portrait proves most valuable.

Though Jamie Dornan might be loved most for his role on "Once Upon A Time," the actor actually has an extensive modeling career. He famously met ex-girlfriend Keira Knightly during an Asprey photo shoot and has modeled for Calvin Klein, Dior and Armani ad campaigns, but it's a spread for GQ that was recently unearthed that will likely become his most famous.
Considering Dornan just landed the lead in "Fifty Shades of Grey," fans have been clamoring to know anything and everything about the 31-year-old Irish actor. That was a perfect opportunity for GQ — which previously dubbed him "the male Kate Moss" — to showcase a sexy S&M photo featuring Dornan and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Though the photo to the left is actually one of the tamer ones from their ultra sexual shoot, it does show why Dornan is such a great choice to play Christian Grey. In the image, Dornan casually strokes Whiteley's hair while she is bound and blindfolded. The open shirt and glass of whiskey in his hand should get "Fifty Shades" fans in a frenzy about his potential for the upcoming feature film.
What do you make of Dornan's sexy S&M photo shoot? Do you think he's a good pick for Christian Grey?

Male-Scammers.com is a web service that is trying to root out male scammers that prey on women on the Internet. We have an extensive database that we use to collect any and all information regarding these persons, so we can publish it on the Internet and warn women about them.
Many times these scammers will send hundreds of messages out like bait, and many times they are capable of catching a woman in these criminal nets. With a database composed of thousands of photos, letters and false documents, we attempt to get as much information published about these scammers as we possibly can, so women can see for themselves whether they man they are corresponding with over the Internet is real or fake. Chances are if a picture or document or letter that was sent to you is also on our website, he is a scammer and should be avoided.
Our website offers you a unique and innovative mechanism through which you can not only identify but even fight off male scammers encountered online. If you are here because you are tired of male scammers and wish to enforce a permanent solution to get rid of them, keep reading on to learn how this website can help you.
There are different scam scenarios: Military leave scam, Satellite phone service, Shipping goods that do not exist, Money orders, 419 advanced fee fraud, Travel scenario, Illness scenario, Money problems, Gay scenario and some others.
The military leave scam occurs when the "soldier" you are in contact with mentions that he wants to visit you, and just needs to file for military leave. You will be required to do certain things...
The scammer will introduce himself using one of many possible social network sites, dating websites, or email. Many times an age difference is very obvious. Scams increase with the amount of age between the victim and scammer. He wants to you send messages only to his private email. He makes a change to his primary email while you know him. Look for his profile. If it says something different from where he says he is, than that is a sign to be cautious.

This leads to carrying quite a few power adapters. Bolt seeks to solve this problem by providing a 3,000mAh battery that—when plugged in—can charge itself and your gadget at the same time.When not connected to power, it'll use that 3,000mAh to charge your smartphone (or whatever else) once or twice. While not a large backup, you get this extra power in a package so tiny that it won't take up much more room than a power adapter itself. It also joins the slim ranks of batteries with this feature, making it a candidate for our DIY battery-powered charging bag. Although a little expensive, right now you won't find another battery of this size with these features.

Each filling makes enough for one batch of cookies. Whichever filling you choose, be sure to prepare it a day ahead.
Leave a Review
the caramel was disgusting. Im a professional food critic, it was disgusting. DON'T EVER TRY THIS RECIPE
The caramel filling is exactly what I was seeking to use in my caramel apple macarons (with the addition of apple flavoring oil). The recipe here for chocolate macarons (or "macarOOns" -- shudder) is atrocious. I can't believe the instructions actually tell you your cookies should be cracked! These are "macawrongs", not macarons. Macarons should have a smooth dome and a lovely, bubbly foot. Don't trust a macaron recipe with volume measurements instead of weight. You have to let the piped shells sit out until no longer sticky to the touch before you bake them. Chocolate macarons are tricky; you need to let the batter sit covered airtight for a few hours before piping them.
Wonderful recipe! I make it regularly for school events (make sure to label clearly so people know it contains nuts), office events and ladies luncheons, with the chocolate raspberry ganache on this website, from another macaroon recipe and it is always a hit.(Or any chocolate ganache flavored with raspberry extract.) Great use for extra egg whites.
I made these cookies extra large about the size of a New York Black and White cookie with the chocolate filling. My clients, friends and family couldn't get enough of them. They were an incredible hit. Can't wait to make them with the caramel filling next.
I've had the most success with this macaron recipe vs. those from tartelette, i love macarons, David Lebovitz, etc. Yes, the photo should be updated (should not have cracked cookies for true French macarons). I usually make 1/2 recipe with 3 L egg whites, scant 2 c. powdered sugar, 3/4 c. Just Almond Meal from Trader Joe's, 3 T unsweetened cocoa powder -- latter 3 ingredients combined in a food processor. I only pipe one baking sheet at a time, let it develop a skin/crust before baking (last night, this took 30 min.), and baked 8-9 min. in 400F oven. With 1/2 caramel recipe this yields ~2 dozen small sandwiches. They are truly delicious -- nice combo of crunch, chew, melt-in-your-mouth sweetness. And my cookies developed a "foot," one of the measures of success in the macaron world. Love it!
Four forks for the caramel filling! It's utterly delicious and EASY to make! I have looked at quite a few caramel filling recipes and they all seem laborious. Not this one. Oh, and so YUMMY!
while the shape of the cookies look nice they should not be cracked :(
Couldn't quite do four. Would probably give them a three and a half. They weren't difficult to make if you buy almond meal rather than grind the almonds yourself (based on weight, I used 1-3/4 cup of almond meal).
for those who want the caramel filling, the caramel liquid must be added EXQUISITELY slowly in order for it not to seize(harden and not combine) when hitting the yolk/cream mixture. If some caramel does seize, you can relax it by putting mixture back over low heat and slowly it will melt and combine with the rest of the mixture. it is a delicious filling.
would someone PLEASE tell me how to successfully make the caramel filling. tried 2x zilch the caramel crystalized as soon as it hit the egg yolk preparation. cant figure out what i am doing wrong. thanks
