"The night before, my wife and I went out for Chinese food," David recalls. "After dinner, I started experiencing indigestion and a slight headache. So, I took some Advil® and Tums®, the discomfort seemed to subside, and I slept fairly well.
"The next morning, Friday, I planned to work from my home office," he continues. David is a pharmacist for a home care agency and periodically works from his Palm Desert home. "I woke up, and still had the indigestion and headache. I took some more Advil, but the headache didn't go away. I tried to work, but the headache started to get pretty bad. I had some pain medication that I'd used for my back, so I took some and lay down, trying to take it easy. But the indigestion got worse, and the headache progressed."
David's wife, Ann, who is a nurse, was home that day, too. She wasn't overly concerned about her husband's symptoms at this point. Then, he started feeling pain that radiated down his right arm, and his jaw hurt.
"I remember my wife asking me, 'Are you sure it's your right arm?'" David recalls.When he told her about the jaw pain — it felt "like my jaw was in a vice" — she realized realized that this was a classic symptom of a heart attack. "She still wasn't certain that I was having an MI (myocardial infarction or heart attack), but we decided to go to the urgent care facility to check things out….We explained my symptoms to the doctor at the center," David says. "He hooked me up to an EKG (electrocardiogram) machine.The next thing I remember, the doctor was giving me an aspirin, starting me on an IV, and spraying nitroglycerin under my tongue. He said to me, 'You're having a heart attack.'"
David couldn't believe it. "I sat up on the gurney and blurted, 'This can't be happening to me!'" he remembers. "I didn't think I had the typical risk factors…I was only 49, in decent physical shape, never smoked, only drank socially on occasion, and my blood-work was OK…not great, but OK."What's more, he wasn't having the classic chest pain of a heart attack.
The urgent care center called the paramedics to transport David to Eisenhower Medical Center. Puneet K. Khanna, MD, was the Board Certified Cardiologist who was on call.
"David came in having a heart attack," Dr. Khanna recalls. "We got him stabilized, then performed an angiogram that revealed a 99 percent occlusion of his right coronary artery.This was successfully opened using a balloon, and then a stent was placed to help keep the artery open.The new drugcoated stents we use at Eisenhower stay open long-term in more than 95 percent of patients," he adds. "I remember my wife asking me, 'Are you sure it's your right arm?'" David recalls. When he told her about the jaw pain — it felt "like my jaw was in a vice" — she realized that this was a classic symptom of a heart attack."
David spent two days in the Cardiac Care Unit and another three days in a regular nursing unit. Dr. Khanna started him on an aspirin-a-day regimen, along with a blood thinner, a statin drug to control his cholesterol, and a blood pressure medication. "Even though David's cholesterol wasn't horrible, and his blood pressure wasn't an issue, these medications are standard protocol after a heart attack," Dr. Khanna notes.
"After I was discharged, I stayed home for about six weeks," says David. "At first, I just rested, then began walking around the house, building up to walking outdoors. Dr. Khanna and I discussed some lifestyle changes. I didn't need to make drastic changes, because I already did a lot of the right things," Chook adds. "Mainly, I needed to get more regular exercise, manage stress better, and I'm a little more diligent than before about what I eat…I read food labels more, eat more chicken, turkey and fish, and less red meat.We also bought some books on cholesterolfree cooking."
David has had lab work every four months since the heart attack, and annual cardiac stress tests. "Everything appears to be fine," he says. "My lab results are pretty good. But I have to take medication, exercise regularly, and watch what I eat for the rest of my life."
"Amazingly, David suffered no heart damage even though he'd had a heart attack," Dr. Khanna adds. "He was extremely lucky because 30 percent of heart attack victims don't even make it to the hospital. David has done incredibly well and I believe will continue to do well because he's tuned in."
Given that he didn't fit the so-called "typical" profile of someone at risk for a heart attack, what would David have done differently? "If I knew then what I know now, I would have watched things more closely," he admits. "I knew my family history… there was high blood pressure and high cholesterol on both sides, and heart disease on my father's side. After age 40, I would have been more aggressive about starting on a statin drug for cholesterol control, and an aspirin-a-day to thin the blood. And, I would have paid more attention to my diet."
"It's all about lifestyle choices," Chook adds. "If you want to live a long and healthy life, you have to make the right choices, and you can't underestimate family history. But, you can still make the choice to be aware!"

An important element to consider when decorating small spaces is to only use items you love. In small areas there won't be room for items that don't make you happy.
A room or area full of mismatched pieces won't look as nice as it could. Even if the pieces are expensive, well made & comfortable, if they don't match, it'll show.
Not in regards to the actual seats, but the overall comfort of the room. For example, a huge abstract painting may dominate a room or a mountain of throw pillows may be uncomfortable.
It should go without saying, but the décor for a 10-year-old girl most likely won't appeal to a 16-year-old boy or a 50-year-old man. In group areas, gender & age neutral work well.

- Contact Residential Life & Housing
Residential Life & Housing is a team of professionals and paraprofessionals who are trained to respond to a variety of student issues. On the "front line" are the Resident Assistants (RAs). They are undergraduates living in the residence halls who respond to issues such as roommate/suitemate conflicts, noise complaints, disruptive behavior, and adjustment needs, to name a few. In addition, they offer educational, cultural, and social programs to stimulate residents outside of their classrooms and foster community within their residence hall. Students are encouraged to first consult with their RA about problems before going to their Hall Director or Associate Director.
RAs receive support from the Hall Directors (HDs). They are graduate students who live in the residence halls and provide supervision for RAs and serve an on-call function for emergencies.
All residential facilities are overseen by the three Associate Directors (ADs). Having earned graduate degrees in higher education administration or related fields, the Associate Directors oversee all programming and administrative aspects of the residence hall program. In addition, the ADs act as resources, frequently counseling students and/or making referrals to other campus professionals. ADs supervise the HDs and serve on various campus committees.
The housing portion of the department is coordinated by the Associate Director for Housing Operations and his assistant. They coordinate everything related to room assignments, room changes, billing, room changes, and Room Selection.
The Office of Residential Life and Housing is led by the Associate Dean for Campus & Residential Life. Responsibilities of the Associate Dean include coordinating all housing and residential life functions and programs, and determining policies and procedures, and supervising all of the Residential Life staff.
The Residential Life staff develops positive relationships with students through their many interactions outside the classroom and within the residential setting. We are familiar with the stresses you endure as students at a prestigious institution, and interact with you at your "home away from home." Please feel free to contact any of the aforementioned staff members to learn more about Residential Life and Housing or to address any concerns.

I foster cats, specifically kittens and their mothers (when the mother is with them). There is this little kitten who is 13 days old today. She is white with black spots, and the black spots on her back form a circle (like a stone circle). She's a very stubborn little girl, who wont have things any way other than her way. I have named her Esmerelda Weatherwax, which is the only name that seems to fit her. I just wanted to tell Sir Pratchett about her and posting on this forum seemed like the best way to do it
She has her mommy and two siblings, and considering how fluffy she is it seems she's going to be a long haired kitty. I hope whoever adopts her can handle her! I've never had a kitten this young with such a strong personality before.

Weekend guide: Earth Day at Descanso and a show-stopping Showcase House

Historic Cravens Estate will be the 2010 Pasadena Showcase House of Design
The Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts organization announces today that its 2010 design transformation will take place at the historic Cravens Estate on what was once Pasadena's Millionaire's Row. [Slide show below]
The nearly 20,000-square-foot estate, built in 1929 and 1930, is headquarters to the San Gabriel Pomona Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, which is collaborating with the PSHA on the effort.
From April 18 to May 16, 26 interior designers and seven exterior designers will work with a team of experts in historic architecture
and preservation to revitalize the property, benefit chair Beverly Marksbury said in a statement.
"… While
we're taking the greatest care to respect the estate's past, our designers will
also make use of cutting edge design technology, trends and creativity," she said.
Designed for John and Mildred Cravens by renowned San Francisco architect Lewis P. Hobart, the French chateau
mansion took two years to build and was inspired by the grand Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte
in France.
"What's interesting is that Mildred Cravens was a Board
member of the American Red Cross," Marksbury said. "She held many meetings at
the estate and, then, as it turned out, the house was sold by its current
owner, Simon Zervos, to the Red Cross in 1964. But here's what we didn't know
until very recently: The Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte (in France) served as a Red Cross
headquarters during World War I and II."
The estate is now a popular filming location for movies/television and a rental site for weddings and events.
On Friday, Jan. 22, you can preview the Showcase House before its dramatic transformation takes place. The Empty House Party gives designers a chance to present and explain their design concepts.
And tickets for the Pasadena Showcase House of Design — which
includes not only the house and garden tour, but also the Shops at Showcase, with more than 25 vendors, a restaurant and bar — will go on sale Feb. 15.

|Houghton Mifflin
On Tolkien: Interviews, Reminiscences, and Other Essays is an upcoming book edited by Douglas A. Anderson and Marjorie Burns.
From the publisher
Compiled by noted Tolkien scholars Douglas A. Anderson and Marjorie J. Burns, this book provides an invaluable insight into Tolkien's thought through interviews, personal reminiscences, and remembrances collected nowhere else. Tolkien gave some twenty interviews in his lifetime. In this collection is the unedited transcript of an interview for the BBC, giving the only surviving impression of what it was like to converse with Tolkien. Firsthand impressions ranging from those of the lexicographer of the Oxford English Dictionary to those of friends such as Robert Murray, Norman Power, Donald Swann, the science fiction writer, L. Sprague de Camp, and Tolkien's eldest son, Michael[1], the reminiscences are lively and loving testimonials. Most of the essays here were written by people who knew Tolkien and explore other aspects of his life: Christopher Tolkien on the making of The Silmarillion, Priscilla Tolkien on his art, Rayner Unwin on publishing Tolkien, and more.
- ↑ (sic). Michael is Tolkien's second son.

In his first AMA on Reddit, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates calls WinFS the Microsoft product he most wished had made it to market.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Microsoft founder Bill Gates dropped a few tech tidbits, including that Microsoft "was willing to buy" WhatsApp. He's also no Edward Snowden fan (no surprise).
Half of the people between 18 and 29 polled by Reuters/Ipsos say the software giant is cooler now.
Not surprisingly, the Microsoft chairman says Bing and Windows 8 are great products. He also talks about Steve Jobs, Spinal Tap, and polio during a Reddit "ask me anything" session.
Microsoft will release a public beta of its next operating system in late February of 2012, according to The Next Web.
q&a Senior Microsoft researcher Gordon Bell has been recording his life for a decade. Now he wants a database.
The software maker has an "incubation project" that is exploring what an all-new operating system might look like. But it's too soon to say that the company has found Windows' replacement.
Instead of scrolling through Windows Explorer's folder tree for the file you need, save your search results as a virtual folder that you can return to anytime.
Craig Simms wades through the mess that is still Windows Vista.
The software maker has put a halt to an effort by a group of developers that wanted to build an operating system on top of an early test version of the Vista predecessor.

Full-frame DSLRs offer the very best in image quality, but which one is best suited to you? We've pick a selection of the best full-frame DSLRs of 2015 to help you decide
The term 'full-frame' refers to a full-frame sensor that's same size as an individual frame of traditional 35mm film. The advantages of full-frame sensors over smaller digital camera sensors, such as APS-C or Micro Four Thirds are numerous.
For starters the larger surface area of a full-frame sensor means that the individual light-capturing photodiodes (pixels) can be larger, which in turn improves performance in low light.
Creatively speaking, another advantage of full-frame sensors is that it's possible to attain a shallower depth of field compared to their smaller-sensor comrades.
As a result, full-frame sensors are considered to deliver the very best in image quality, although they do feature high price tags and as a result you'll want to make sure you're picking the right full-frame DSLR for you.
Here's a selection of the best full-frame DSLRs of 2014 to help you decide.
Nikon D610
Street price: £1179 body only
While the Nikon D600 represented a breakthrough for full-frame DSLR photography at a more affordable price, unfortunately it wasn't without flaw.
A substantial number of users reported that after around 3000 shots they noted the appearance of dust spots on the camera's sensor.
As a result, Nikon swiftly followed the launch of the Nikon D600 with the Nikon D610 – a model which offers much of the same specification and features but with an all-new shutter mechanism.
As you would expect the D610 offers similarly impressive image results and general performance, both of which arrive at a price within the reach of the enthusiast photographer.

Canon EOS 6D
The Canon EOS 6D is, in many ways, Canon's riposte to the Nikon D600.
Smaller than other Canon full-frame DSLRs, the 6D is built around an all-new 20.2MP CMOS sensor and Canon's powerful DIGIC 5+ processor – the same one that's used in the 5D Mk III.
This allows it to offer the same sensitivity range as the Mk. III, namely from ISO 100-25,600 (expandable to ISO 50-102,400. Continuous shooting speed is a little slower though at 4.5fps (compared to 6fps).
Elsewhere, the 6D does compromise a bit, no doubt in order to keep costs down. For example, the AF system is made up of just 11-points with only one cross-type sensor in the middle. One notable inclusion on the 6D that isn't found on Canon's more expensive DSLRs is built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.

Canon EOS 5D Mk III
Street price: £1950 body only
The 5D Mk II was already a class act, and with the 5D Mark III Canon has really pushed the boat out.
While the new model only gets a marginal increase in resolution – from 20MP to 21.1MP – the sensor has been completely redesigned with gapless microlenses for improved low-light performance.
Add to this improved AF, increased sensitivity range, faster burst shooting, and improved HD video recording and the 5D Mark III adds up to a full-frame heavyweight.

Nikon D4S
Street price: £4400 body only
If you want the very best in terms of all round performance, both with regards to image quality and general performance, it's difficult to see past the Nikon D4S.
The model delivers some eye-watering statistics – 10fps for other 100 Raw files; maximum ISO of 409,600; Over 3,000 shot battery life; 3.2in LCD screen.
Although it's one of the largest DSLRs on the market, the level of performance makes it all worthwhile and if you're a professional – or just got a few quid to spare – the Nikon D4S is one of the best going.

Canon 1D X
Street price: £4850 body only
Broadly speaking, the basic aim of the 1D X was to take the studio-friendly resolution offered by the 1Ds Mark III and combine it with the speedy-shooting capabilities of the (APS-H equipped) 1D Mark IV.
To this end the 18MP 1D X is a big success; equipped with twin DIGIC 5+ image processors the 1D X boasts a top burst speed of 12fps – or 14fps if capturing JPEGs only.
Add to this a standard sensitivity range of ISO 100-51,200 (50-204,800 in expanded mode), a 61-point AF system of which 41 are cross-type sensors, and enhanced Full HD movie recording abilities and there's no doubting the 1D X's credibility as a serious tool for professional photographers.

Sony Alpha 7R
Street price: £1350
Sony broke new ground at towards the end of last year with the launch of the Alpha 7 and 7R. The models are the first compact system cameras to feature a full-frame sensor.
Although the Alpha 7R is a CSC and not a DSLR, with a resolution of 36.4MP it's placed in line with some serious high-end competition.
As you would expect for a CSC, the Alpha 7R is compact and portable, making it the perfect option if you're looking for full-frame photography in a portable body.

Features and Benefits
The exceptional performance of the Ultraline™ MR-16 reflector lamps are a result of new advancements in our filament design and gas fill technologies. Manufactured under ISO 9001 guidelines, refinements in the reflector coating process slows deterioration of the reflector, allowing Ultraline™ lamps to maintain their consistent Halogen color throughout the life of the lamp.
Rated at more than twice the life of other MR-16s on the market today, Ultraline™ lamps are an astute choice for applications where frequency of lamp changes and cost of ownership are significant factors. The Halogen capsule helps to protect ultraviolet sensitive objects by eliminating 90% of harmful UV emissions.

This week on MILF Hunter, we had an incredible babe for you by the name of Christina Lyn. Not only was she gorgeous, but she had a body on her that was smoking HOT. When we caught up with Christina, she was hanging by the pool in a see-through white bikini. It was a thong, which gave us a great look at that incredible ass, and when it got wet, we also got a nice view of that hot milf pussy. When asked if she was digging Levi form the night before, Christina was all about him. She flashed her incredible tits to Paulie, as he invited her to wake Levi up and give him some MILF pussy for breakfast.

She agreed and awakened Levi to the image of her playing with her pussy. He jumped all over that and started sucking that pussy. That got Christina hot, so she took that cock down her throat and gave it a true MILF sucking. After that, Levi was super horny and banged that MILF pussy like a wild man. It was a thing of beauty to see him work that body and pound Christina's pussy, as her big tits bounced up and down and that big jiggle beautifully from the stroking. Christina was one HOT milf that will be etched in our minds forever. You don't want to miss out on this fine mature babe. You'll fall in love right from the start.

Burr and Burton filings raise questions about endowment, special educationBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 27,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Burr and Burton Academy is shown Tuesday in Manchester.MANCHESTER Burr and Burton Academy has traditionally told voters that tuition doesnt pay for all of the schools expenses and that money is drawn from the endowment every year but financial reports required by the federal government do not show any money being withdrawn.
Seth Bongartz, chairman of the schools board of trustees, said that 4 percent of the endowment is drawn down every year to pay for school expenses but couldnt explain why the 990 form doesnt show any money being taken out of the endowment going back at least to the 2008 fiscal year.
The most recent 990 for Burr and Burton, an independent high school which serves students in Manchester, Dorset, Sunderland and other northern Bennington County towns, shows a starting balance for the endowment of $10,665,064. Contributions are listed as $2,474,694 and the final balance for the year is listed as $13,139,758 which is the same as the sum of the starting balance and the contributions.
No deductions or expenses are listed as coming from the endowment.
Bongartz said Burr and Burton has been getting enough contributions to its endowment on an annual basis that the balance of the endowment grows each year. Bongartz said he has no idea why the withdrawal of funds is not noted on the 990.
GuideStar, an organization that gathers and publicizes information about nonprofits, describes the Internal Revenue Service Form 990 as an annual reporting return that certain federally tax-exempt organizations must file with the IRS (which contains) information on the filing organizations mission, programs and finances.
Many schools in Vermont are seeing their budgets grow because of increases in special education costs. On the 990 forms for the fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, however, Burr and Burton lists higher revenues than expenses for special education.
The 2010 report lists $1,540,538 in revenue but $1,427,459 in expenses, a difference of $113,079. For 2009, revenue is $1,668,021 while expenses are $1,607,859, a difference of $60,162. The 2008 990 form shows $1,728,975 in revenue and $1,603,749 in expenses, a difference of $125,226.
Bongartz said despite the 990 reports, Burr and Burton spends more on special education than they take in.
According to Bongartz, the special education budget does not include the costs of administrators, like the headmaster, assistant headmaster, dean of studies (and) dean of students; the business office; the maintenance department; and the cafeteria.
I guess we could have moved numbers around to make them balance ... but we try to keep our special ed costs as low as possible because theyre expensive to the towns. We eat as many of the special ed costs as we can, he said.
While not giving a specific amount, Bongartz said the school absorbs far more than $100,000 in special education costs that are not paid by tuition.
When asked if the school would provide a copy of its audit for closer review of its financial reporting, Bongartz declined, saying he didnt believe it was a public record.
Burr and Burton accepts taxpayer dollars as tuition for students in its role as a designated independent school. Because its not a public school, its budget is not part of the public record but it can accept state funding because of the agreement that it will accept all students from its sending towns.
Burr and Burton is a nonprofit but, like many high schools, deals with higher expenses than many Vermont businesses. According to the 2011 990 form, the schools expenses for the year were $12,810,278 and Mark Tashjian, the schools headmaster, was paid $168,361 with another entry that says almost $60,000 was paid as other compensation from the organization and related organizations.

BONIFAY — A special session of the Holmes County Board of County Commissioners was called to discuss Commissioner Bobby Sasnett's emergency need of a grader in District 1 on Sept. 16, with the end result being that the Board approved sharing graders with District 1 until a decision could be reached at the next meeting and approving to resend the vote to lease a grader at $7,000 per month.
During the Board's Sept. 10 meeting they approved of leasing a grader for 30 days at $7,000 per month to be paid with FEMA funds for Sasnett's district with a vote of three to two, with Commissioners David Whitaker and Bill Parish voting "no."
Sasnet explained that he had a grader down and there was a 95 percent chance that the transmission is broken.
"There's metal shavings in the transmission fluid," said Sasnett. "It's a bad time of the year with FEMA here. We've got to get these roads done."
County Attorney Jeff Goodman advised that due to the state of the roads because of the rains the least wouldn't have to go to bid because it was considered an emergency.
"In 30 days we need to bid it out because I'm not agreeing to anything past 30 days," said Commissioner Kenneth Williams.
Williams came to the special called meeting with new information based on recent findings.
"All graders are equipped with a GPS that helps us know exactly where it's at, how long it runs and how long it's idle at any given point 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said Williams. "First I'd like to point out that the hours indicated on the GPS matches up with the hours logged by our operators, which is really good, however I'd like to point out the activity of District 1's working grader."
Williams presented the website of logged time through the GPS to show the commissioners.
"It operated for nine hours on Aug. 6, seven hours on three days and six hours or less the rest of the month," said Williams. "What gets me is that on the day that I voted with you that you were in a state of emergency the one grader that worked was only operated for two hours that day. I'm just saying that if you are indeed in an emergency situation that you'd think that you'd be running the one grader that worked."
Sasnett explained that his grader operator was busy getting new tires for the district's transport van and that the grader acquired from Bay County temporarily was down because of a faulty blade.
After much deliberation Sasnett admitted that he wasn't using the district's new grader to the fullest and agreed to look into the matter because he said he was unaware of the inactivity.
"But we still need to do something about not having a second running grader," said Sasnett.
First the Board approved to fix Sasnett's transmission for an estimated amount between $19,000 to $29,000 with a vote of three to two, with Sasnett and Whitaker voting "no" and then approved of resending the vote to lease the equipment from CAT for $7,000 per month.
Then after some discussion Parish resented his vote to have the matter tabled until the next meeting and was approved with a vote of three to two, with Williams and Merchant voting "no."
Board then approved of Parish's idea that the rest of the districts lend District 1 support until a decision could be made at the next meeting after resolving that one day of overtime for a grader operator would be cheaper than leasing equipment.
"Personally I believe our entire system isn't efficient," said Parish. "We've got an abundance of equipment unevenly placed within districts and this mentality of each district only supporting itself is ridiculous, however we have neither the resources nor the man power to resolve the issue now."
Williams' findings also showed that District 3 grader's GPS hadn't been activated yet and board approved to have it activated as soon as possible.
Board agreed to have the matter tabled until the next meeting, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Sept. 24.

Hi everyone,
This is a version of the whodunnit game Mafia.
This probably won't be as good as the previous whodunnit gameson this forum, but I'm going to give it a go.
How to Play
1) Sign up here! You need to be able to post at least once a week. If you can't you can still be a civilian and post in the thread, but you won't be able to vote or get killed.
2) When the game starts (sometime between Saturday and Tuesday depending on how many people have signed up) I will PM everyone playing telling them their roles, which will be either a watchman or an infiltrator. Some watchmen will have special character abilities (see Character List)
3) You are not allowed to tell anyone who you are, or (if you have one) what your special ability is, unless given permission by me, which probably won't happen. The infiltrators will be told in their PM who the other infiltrator(s) is/are.
4) Only the Infiltrators are allowed to PM each other, to decide who they want to kill. The only person anyone else is allowed to PM is me.
5) At the start of the game, it will be a day phase, which means that you can vote someone to be executed. You are allowed to change your vote once if you wish; no more than that. The player with the most votes will be executed and I will reveal who they were. The day phase will last up to four days.
6) Then comes the night phase. The Infiltrators will have to PM me about who they want to kill, preferably after deciding agmonst themselves by PM. If they cannot decide by themselves, they will each send me their choice and I'll toss a coin or something. The watchmen with special abilities will have to PM me about who they want to protect/investigate.
7) At the end of the night phase (which will last about 2 days) I will reveal who was murdered and who they were. The day phase then resumes.
8 ) This continues until either the Infiltrators kill off the entire Watch (In which case the Infiltrators win) or until all the infiltrators are executed (In which case the Watch win)
The Rules
I think most of these are explained above, but I'll write them out again:
1) Don't reveal your role to anyone else (The infiltrators will already know who each other are.)
2)Don't try to Roleplay your character - as Narrator I'm telling the story, not you!
3) Don't get upset if you die: you can come back to life as a civilian so you can post in the thread, but you can't vote or die.
4) This is a light-hearted game; don't get angry!
5) Don't argue with the narrator!
The Characters
(The roles that are divided amognst the players)
Infiltrators: These men have been sent by the Rich Ankh Families to dismantle the Watch, as it seems to be threatening their power. The Infiltrators will stop at nothing - not even murder - to take the City Watch apart)
Angua: The Werewolf in the City Watch, Angua can find out much more about people than they want her to; by smell. Commander Vimes will let her interrogate one watch member every night. She will then find out what that person is (via PM) but she is not allowed to tell anyone else.
Igor: This Watch member is the number one medical man; every night he can choose someone to protect, and if that person is attacked, he'll be able to save them.
Other Watchmen: These people are powerless to protect or investigate but Vimes will give them the oppurtunity to vote on who the murderer is.
Narrator: Me!
Feel free to ask any questions you need to. And please sign up!

Custom NXT-G MyBlocks
It turns out that the icons for the MyBlocks are in .png format and can be found in:
.../Program Files/LEGO MINDSTORMS Edu NXT/engine/Icons/MyBlocks (or remove the Edu if you have the retail version)
I needed to delete one of the existing icons to keep it to 72 files (6x12 grid of possible icons in the editor) before adding my own.
Now I just need to figure out how to make this block actually work! :)

Nice discovery! If you make a myblock with a custom icon, then delete that custom to make room for another, does anything happen to the myblock using the first custom image?

You can make .png images using Photoshop or GIMP (a free image editor with similar abilities). The .png file is compact, lossless, and contains an alpha channel by default, allowing for pixels to be transparent, 0x00 (0) being invisible, 0xFF (255) being completely opaque. Anyone want to try a semi-transparent image for a myblock?
This once again makes me wonder why the bulky and lossy .jpg format is still the standard, seeing how it is also known for a problem only it has: JPEG artifacts. Don't believe me? Try saving the NXT's font from the firmware development kit in the .jpg format, closing the document, and then viewing it. You can't read it too well, can you? Or, is it gray, meaning that those pixels will turn up white? Either way...

You can also use Paint.NET - a free windows paint program... I find it easier to use than GIMP, and very powerful.

wow i tried your myblock and i make 5$ that's amazing... of course it only works if you wire the block to your bank account!

A cataract is a clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage of light. Early in the development of age-related cataract the power of the lens may be increased, causing near-sightedness (myopia), and the gradual yellowing and opacification of the lens may reduce the perception of blue colours. Cataracts typically progress slowly to cause vision loss and are potentially blinding if untreated.
A senile cataract, occurring in the aged, is characterized by an initial opacity in the lens, subsequent swelling of the lens and final shrinkage with complete loss of transparency. Moreover, with time the cataract cortex liquefies to form a milky white fluid in a Morgagnian cataract, which can cause severe inflammation if the lens capsule ruptures and leaks. Untreated, the cataract can cause phacomorphic glaucoma. Very advanced cataracts with weak zonules are liable to dislocation anteriorly or posteriorly. Such spontaneous posterior dislocations (akin to the historical surgical procedure of couching) in ancient times were regarded as a blessing from the heavens, because some perception of light was restored in the cataractous patients.
Cataract derives from the Latin cataracta meaning "waterfall" and the Greek kataraktes and katarrhaktes, from katarassein meaning "to dash down" (kata-, "down"; arassein, "to strike, dash). As rapidly running water turns white, the term may later have been used metaphorically to describe the similar appearance of mature ocular opacities. In Latin, cataracta had the alternate meaning "portcullis", so it is also possible that the name came about through the sense of "obstruction". Early Persian physicians called the term nazul-i-ah, or 'descent of the water' - vulgarised into waterfall disease or cataract - believing such blindness to be caused by an outpouring of corrupt humour into the eye. In dialect English a cataract is called a pearl, as in "pearl eye" and "pearl-eyed".
Cataracts may be partial or complete, stationary or progressive, hard or soft.
Some drugs can induce cataract development, such as Corticosteroids and Ezetimibe and Seroquel.
There are various types of cataracts, e.g. nuclear, cortical, mature, and hypermature. Cataracts are also classified by their location, e.g. posterior (classically due to steroid use) and anterior (common (senile) cataract related to aging).
In the United States, age-related lenticular changes have been reported in 42% of those between the ages of 52 to 64, 60% of those between the ages 65 and 74, and 91% of those between the ages of 75 and 85.
Early cataract surgery was developed by the Indian physician Sushruta (6th century BCE). The Indian traditions of cataract surgery was performed with a special tool called the Jabamukhi Salaka, a curved needle used to loosen the lens and push the cataract out of the field of vision. The eye would later be soaked with warm butter and then bandaged. Though this method was successful, Susruta cautioned that it should only be used when necessary. Greek philosophers and scientists traveled to India where these surgeries were performed by physicians. The removal of cataract by surgery was also introduced into China from India.
When a cataract is sufficiently developed to be removed by surgery, the most effective and common treatment is to make an incision (capsulotomy) into the capsule of the cloudy lens in order to surgically remove the lens. There are two types of eye surgery that can be used to remove cataracts: extra-capsular (extracapsular cataract extraction, or ECCE) and intra-capsular (intracapsular cataract extraction, or ICCE).
Extra-capsular (ECCE) surgery consists of removing the lens but leaving the majority of the lens capsule intact. High frequency sound waves (phacoemulsification) are sometimes used to break up the lens before extraction.
Intra-capsular (ICCE) surgery involves removing the entire lens of the eye, including the lens capsule, but it is rarely performed in modern practice.
In either extra-capsular surgery or intra-capsular surgery, the cataractous lens is removed and replaced with a plastic lens (an intraocular lens implant) which stays in the eye permanently.
Cataract operations are usually performed using a local anaesthetic and the patient is allowed to go home the same day. Recent improvements in intraocular technology now allow cataract patients to choose a multifocal lens to create a visual environment in which they are less dependent on glasses. Under some medical systems multifocal lenses cost extra. Traditional intraocular lenses are monofocal.
Complications are possible after cataract surgery, including endophthalmitis, posterior capsular opacification and retinal detachment.
In ICCE there is the issue of the Jack in the box phenomenon where the patient has to wear aphakic glasses - alternatives include contact lenses but these can prove to be high maintenance, particularly in dusty areas.
Research is scant and mixed but weakly positive for the nutrients lutein and zeaxanthin. Bilberry extract shows promise in rat models and in clinical studies.
The following is a classification of the various types of cataracts. This is not comprehensive and other unusual types may be noted.

Nation Topics - Election 2012
News and Features
It's time we kick the "lesser of two evils" excuse and engage in a true political conversation.
Under the radar, the pseudo-grassroots group Americans for Prosperity is pulling out the stops to defeat Obama.
Highlights from the Voting Rights Watch 2012 blog, from Brentin Mock, Aura Bogado and Maegan E. Ortiz
Even if Obama wins, he won't be able to accomplish much if progressives don't do well in legislative races. Here are ten worthy contenders.
Many of Florida's ex-felons are receiving conflicting information on their voting rights. That could spell disaster in November.
Democrats have a rich opportunity to push electoral reform at the state level.
Forget Mitt Romney. With the foreign policy crisis in the Middle East, can the president make it to November 7?
Election politics today are little more than advertising. But it wasn't always that way.
The GOP candidate's disastrous response to the incendiary "Innocence of Muslims" video should come as no surprise in light of his Islamophobic connections.
This is the most polarized presidential choice since 1980. Yet issues fundamental to the nation's future have been excluded from the debate.

50 Cent gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
A serious note

Then they streamed the video online. Tyler died, literally, of embarrassment. Many contend that he would not have suffered the same fate if he was not gay. Full Story

That is not a typo. You'll get it when you watch it. Another hilarious Chelsea Handler interview. Fifty is currently promoting a million different projects: cologne, album, movie, himself, whatever.

Sick of all the market talk yet? Me too. But here's some more…
During set up:
The first day with V (if you can't tell I am really tall…and V is really
short small):
Crashing the Riley Blake party with this crazy bunch (so..much…fun):
American Jane:
And more friends (photo taken by Sandi Klop herself):
Overall I had a great first market experience. It's always scary to put myself out there…but once I strapped on my big girl panties and went for it I was fine. The best part was meeting all of these great blog friends face to face…the rest was just a perk.
