the 100% directionless thread

Adrenaline is probably being pulled from primary cardiac arrest come 2013. While there is a clearly stated "watch this space" on the removal of both adrenaline and amiodarone from primary cardiac arrest, amiodarone was recently added to the ILS Paramedic delegated scope of practice for cardiac arrest although I suspect the reasons for this may not have been entirely clinical.

Also, I dislike the fact it is still somewhat as cold at night when it's supposed to be summer as it was during the winter, boo!
 
Make that 2015 when they do their hemi-decadial revison in Circulation.
 
Safety first

More on my mention of a local animal control officer who was murdered by a man in a presumably empty house.

The homeowner had been evicted the prior day, the ACO and a bank representative came back to get the owner's pets (he had stated he had nowhere to take them), and the evictee had re-enterd the premises and discharged his shotgun through the front door without warning, killing the ACO and minorly injuring the bank employee.

Now, not only is "the gun always loaded", "the syringe always used", but "the empty house has someone inside with a gun".

Take five, stay alive.

ZING!

What kind of motorsports shop is closed on a Monday? When a storm just dumped 3+ feet over the weekend and they are the only Ski Doo dealer for 150 miles? Spare parts fail! Hopefully I don't blow a belt tomorrow...definitely bringing the tow strap just in case. :P

I'll try to get some snow porn for y'all.
 
I'll be going snowboarding for the first time in January! I'm stoked! Any of y'all have any tips to pass on? :P Luckily I typically pick things like that up pretty quickly :D

Yea, when you fall down don't sit on your rear for 20min in the middle of the slope forcing the skiers to narrowly avoid hitting you.

;)

The first day of snowboarding sucks. You will be falling constantly.
The second time you've mastered it and you will fall at all.
I prefer riding goofy style as opposed to regular (foot placement)
I also ride left foot forward so my right foot comes out.
If you have a cool design on your board, put a stomp pad that won't interupt the picture.
you stop heel edge and toe edge, if you catch an edge doing toe side, it sucks as you will fall down the bill backwards.

Wear a helemet!!!
It's required at some places.
An MP3 player or iPod is pretty handy as hearing the air can get boring.
Chap stick is your friend, I use Burt's bees stuff.
Don't eat the snow, it's probably man made and came from the pond at the bottom of the hill.
Ice hurts if you fall on it.
Lift tickets are expensive usually start at 38$ just for morning session. So be prepared for that. Also food, don't buy the ski lodge's food it's like 4$ for a hot choclate and 6$ for a slice of pizza. Bring a snowboard lock, this is helpful for when you need to urinate, eat or sleep.
Good luck have fun

Drive with your front foot, not your back foot.

Don't fall on an out-stretched hand, broken wrists aren't fun.

I ski, but I'll knuckle drag from time to time in the spring when I get bored. Always takes a minute to get used to the board in the park but it's like riding a bike.
 
If you can, take an introductory lesson. It'll make the first day of snowboarding tolerable, and the next day a lot better.

Wear good gloves.

Have fun.

Take ibuprofen when you get finished. Your body will hurt in places you never imagined.

And yeah, I've been riding since 1991... I'm still sore after the first day of getting back on it.

Good advice about the lock and NOT paying ski area prices for food. Bring your own.

Make sure your health insurance plan is paid ahead of time.

Don't eat the yellow snow.

Wait a second, $38 dollars is an expensive lift ticket? Sheesh don't come out here, the big resorts are charging $95+ per DAY. I got my season pass half off by cancelling my Wells Fargo bank account in August and then taking them up on their two for one season pass deal when you open a college student checking account. Win!

You'll be fine. If you've made it this far, there's no reason you won't do so. It doesn't make it any less stressful though does it?

What program?
