This article details experiments aimed at demonstrating how much plant material (tomato leaf) can be used for total RNA isolation using the SV Total RNA Isolation System and also to determine the linear range of yield with this system. The isolated total RNA was analyzed by spectrophotometry and reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR).
Hemanth Shenoi and Daniel Kephart
RNA Extraction: Frozen tomato leaf tissue (940mg) was ground in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. Initially, 500mg of tissue was solubilized in 1.3ml SV RNA Lysis Buffer. To this lysate, SV RNA Dilution Buffer (2.6ml) was added. The samples were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 14,000 x g, and ethanol (1.2ml) was added to the supernatant. Volumes of lysate corresponding to 30, 100, 200 and 500mg of original tissue mass were passed through the SV RNA Spin Basket membrane and processed as recommended(1)
. Note that multiple spins were required to pass the 200mg and 500mg samples through a single Spin Basket membrane; no clogging of the Spin Basket membrane was observed.
RT-PCR Amplification: RNA was next analyzed by RT-PCR using primer pairs specific for the RUBISCO (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) small subunit gene (rbcS3A) mRNA, a common and abundant plant RNA. Oligonucleotide primers were chosen within highly conserved sequences of the rbcS3A gene.
The primer sequences used were:
Each total RNA sample (1µl from a total of 100µl) was reverse transcribed and amplified using the Access RT-PCR System (Cat.# A1250, A1280). The cycling profile was as follows:
After amplification, the products (10µl) were analyzed on a 1.5% agarose gel (Figure 1).
Aliquots (1µl of 100µl) of the RNA isolated from the indicated tissue masses were used as template in RT-PCR. After amplification, 10µl (one-fifth) of each reaction were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis. Lane 1, 30mg tomato leaf; lane 2, 100mg tomato leaf; lane 3, 200mg tomato leaf; lane 4, 500mg tomato leaf; and lane 5, 500mg tomato leaf without reverse transcriptase in the RT-PCR reaction. Lane M, Promega 100bp DNA Ladder (Cat.# G2101); bands in lane M correspond to 500, 400, 300 and 200bp. Primers for RT-PCR are to the ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RUBISCO) gene.
The purity of the tomato leaf RNA isolated with the SV Total RNA Isolation System was high, as measured by UV absorbance ratios. Pure preparations of RNA have an A260/A280 ratio of approximately 2.0. If there is protein contamination in the sample, this ratio will be significantly lower(2)
. A260/A230 ratios lower than 1.5 generally indicate carryover contamination by guanidine thiocyanate. The A260/A230 ratios for the tomato leaf RNA samples isolated with this system were greater than or equal to 2.2, and along with the A260/A280 ratios, indicate high purity of the RNA Table 1).
Each value represents the average of duplicate spectrophotometer readings of a single sample.
RNA was isolated from tomato leaf, yielding RNA that was free of detectable genomic DNA in PCR analysis (without reverse transcriptase added) (Figure 1, lane 5). The negative control amplification, which contained RNA from 500mg of tissue without AMV Reverse Transcriptase added, resulted in no product (showing no detectable contaminating genomic DNA.
The SV Total RNA Isolation System performed well with up to 500mg of tomato leaf material per preparation. The amount of nucleic acid isolated from a sample was linear over the range tested (30mg to 500mg), and spectrophotometric analysis indicated that the RNA is of high quality. All of the samples performed well in RT-PCR amplifications using the RUBISCO primer pair, and there was no detectable genomic DNA in the preparations.

Feathered Friends: Looking forward to spring's new arrivals9:53 am | March 12, 2012
It's always interesting when I hear from readers who reside outside of Northeast Tennessee yet still enjoy reading the column each week.
I received an email this past week from Milton Hoke and Brenda Blanchard.
Milton had contacted me once previously by phone when he was living in Dodge City, Kan.
He has now moved to Tombstone, Az., and is still reading my column each week. It's always gratifying to hear from readers, and it's always nice to hear from readers in other parts of the country who get to see birds that are different from the ones we usually see here in Northeast Tennessee.
"I have been feeding various species of birds out here," Milt noted.
Some of the birds that visit his feeders are White-winged Dove and California Quail, which are two western specialties. Visits to his feeders aren't restricted to "feathered friends." Mule Deer also enjoy the food that he puts out for the birds.
They added that Mule Deer will come right up to the front door and walk through the streets of Tombstone during the daylight hours.
When I replied to the email, I received another response about Roadrunners, which apparently are a common bird in Tombstone. I had asked if they ever see Roadrunners — a species I have never seen.
Apparently, they are common and they are not terribly finicky about what they eat. Their diet includes baby quail as well as such prey as reptiles and insects.
Accurately known as the Greater Roadrunner, this bird is actually a large, ground-dwelling member of the cuckoo family. Its scientific name, Geococcyx californianus, can be roughly translated as "Californian Earth-cuckoo."
Just as there is a Greater Roadrunner, there is a Lesser Roadrunner, but this bird is confined to Mexico and Central America. On the other hand, the Greater Roadrunner ranges throughout the southwestern United States and into Mexico.
The Greater Roadrunner has served since 1949 as the official state bird for New Mexico, a neighboring state to Arizona.
Other common names for this bird include the "Chaparral Bird" and, in Spanish, "El Correcaminos."
When most people think of roadrunners, it's quite likely they think of the well-known cartoon pitting the always triumphant bird against its perpetually unsuccessful rival, Wile E. Coyote.
Milt and Brenda are planning a road trip to Tennessee in June. Early summer is usually a good time of year to see birds in Northeast Tennessee, so I hope Milt and Brenda get to see some of our own special birds during their visit in a few months.
Since it's unlikely a Greater Roadrunner will stray into Northeast Tennessee any time soon, I'll focus my dreaming on the arrival of some of my tried-and-true favorites over the course of the next few weeks.
Shorebirds, also known as "windbirds" for the tremendous migrations staged by some members of this family, should already be migrating through the region. Some of the usual early arrivals include Greater Yellowlegs, Pectoral Sandpiper and Wilson's Snipe. The muddy edges of country ponds, the shorelines of area lakes and even flooded pastures are good places to look at some of these transient birds. Our region is only a temporary stop as they continue journeying north toward distant nesting grounds in the Arctic tundra.
A few birds that will spend the summer locally are also arriving. I've already devoted a lot of space to American Robins, but they are hardly the only returning bird. Purple Martins and Tree Swallows have already been observed by birders in the region. Soon, Barn Swallows, Cliff Swallows and Northern Rough-winged Swallows should also arrive.
Flocks of Common Grackles and Red-winged Blackbirds are already present and should become a more familiar sight in the coming weeks. A few species of waterfowl are on the move. Look on area rivers and farm ponds for flocks of Blue-winged Teal, a small but distinctive dabbling duck.
The warblers — one of my favorite families of birds — don't return in significant numbers, but there are always a few "early birds." Warblers known for making their return in March ahead of other members of their family include Pine Warbler, Yellow-throated Warbler and Louisiana Waterthrush. Your best bet for finding all three in one convenient location is to pay a visit to Wilbur Lake. Look for the Pine and Yellow-throated Warblers in stands of pine trees. The Louisiana Warbler usually haunts the edges of the streams tumbling down from the mountain slopes around Wilbur Lake.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird — a favorite of many people — are already being seen in some of the Gulf Coast states and the Florida panhandle. These tiny flying jewels don't typically arrive in Northeast Tennessee until early April. The vagaries of weather don't really affect their punctuality. A few years ago I heard from readers in Flag Pond in Unicoi County who were watching Ruby-throated Hummingbirds visit their feeders as a spring snowstorm generated snow flurries.
Once April arrives, the pace quickens considerably. I'm already looking forward to these new arrivals, especially after a winter that has been more or less uneventful.
To share a sighting, make a comment or ask a question, give me a call at 297-9077 or send an email to ahoodedwarbler@aol. com. I'm also on Facebook.

Batiste Culotte Slip 6 6
Nice, but pricey Well made. Like the lace trim. Fits well. However, the material is thin, making this item overpriced. September 17, 2013
Don't order a larger size as customer comments suggest. I am so glad to get these with the warm weather heading our way. These culottes are the best for under skirts and long sundresses not only during the summer heat waves, but also during the winter cold. I had read customer responses and they recommended ordering a size or two larger which I did. They are way too big and will have to be returned. Now I will test return and reorder policies for the Vermont Country Store. I am sure that like their products, everything will go smoothly and I will remain a very satisfied customer. June 27, 2013
I Love Them! I bought these to go under some dresses that are somewhat see-thru, and I'm also wearing them under some everyday dresses I have. They are very comfortable, and I don't have to worry about people seeing through my clothes. Thank You Vermont Country Store, for helping me to keep my modesty in tact! May 22, 2013
An absolute necessity for long skirt wearers The cotton batiste lightness is just perfect and no one else makes it or makes it this well. I wear long skirts with petticoats and this slip underneath. Conservative clothing is not easy to find these days. The slip makes it easier on the inner thighs esp. during walking and the clothe breathes well which I can't say for nylon slips. It was out-of-stock for a while and I kept thinking... where else am I going to find it? Thank you for re-stocking it. May 5, 2013
Favorite Slip for 30+ years I started wearing this slip as a teenager more than 30 years ago and it is still my favorite. My grandmother loved it, my aunt loves it, my cousin loves it, and now my daughters love it, too. There is NEVER any static problem with this slip as there is with most slips of synthetic fiber. Also, in our 100F summers, it helps keep us cool...no sticky, hot nylon against skin; our inner thighs are cool and happy in dresses in the summer <grin>. There is one thing that could be improved on it: We've always had to buy 2 sizes larger than what we usually wear, because the back of the slip seems to be made for very slim women...not women with curves....especially not if she wants to sit without the crotch ripping out. My cousin and I have solved this problem by sewing in a (point-down) triangular shaped gusset in the lower back. November 13, 2012
the best "slip" i've ever had ... cool, comfortable, pretty, great fit, not clingy, lightweight but not flimsy. August 23, 2012

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Batiste Culotte Slip …
"I love this slip. When it is hot, a nylon slip does not "breathe." This one keeps inner thighs dry. I hadn't been able find this type of slip, and you had it!" - Arlene, Cupertino, CA

Ahhh, siblings. You can't live with them, you can't kill them.
Today is National Siblings Day! The other day a year we pretend to like our built-in best friends because social media tells us to. (The first day is Christmas, because presents, obvs.)
In honor of National Siblings Day, which is probably a totally made up day created by someone attempting to bury the hatchet with a brother or sister by publicly professing that Imma let you finish by my sibling is the best sibling ever, our celebrity gossip editors thought it would be grand to take a look at some of our favorite star siblings:
2. Candace and Kirk Cameron
Child stars and siblings you might not have realized were related.
3. Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian
Obviously, the first family of reality TV is packed with sisters.
7. Willie, Jase, Jep and Alan Robertson
Willie, Jase, Jep and Alan Robertson star on Duck Dynasty, along with parents Phil and Kay and their own kids ... of who there are a lot!
8. Zooey and Emily Deschanel
Zooey (New Girl) and Emily Deschanel (Bones) both star on Fox shows!
9. Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears
Britney Spears and little sister Jamie Lynn are the daughters of ... Jamie and Lynn Spears.
10. Miley, Noah and Trace Cyrus
Miley Cyrus' siblings are lesser-known, but still a big part of her life.
11. Ray J and Brandy
Did you know they were brother and sister?
12. Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson
Michael Jackson's three children - progeny of the most famous member of a very large group of siblings - have become celebrities themselves.
13. Paris and Nicky Hilton
Sisters Paris and Nicky Hilton (as seen with Terry Richardson, no relation) have always been tight.
15. Beyonce and Solange Knowles
Beyonce's little sister Solange Knowles is also a singer.
17. Dakota and Elle Fanning
Not sure if we see any resemblance ...
18. Ben and Casey Affleck
Ben Affleck's brother Casey is a successful actor and director in his own right.
From the fabulous to the feuding to the famewhores, Hollywood is rife with celebrity siblings. Now to decide if you and your siblings are more or less dysfunctional than they are.

Hi Everyone,
I really need your help in converting from the ".prel" file to an mP4 file in Adobe Premier Elements 9. I am new to this program, so I learned how to edit the videos but don't know how to do this part.
How do I do this? When I open my project file, the "File>Export" button isn't highlighted for me to select it.
Thanks in advance for your help!
All the export features, except for titles, are within the Share tab.
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
prel is the project file, not a video file

Neale and John T. have provided you with the answers, but for a little more background on the PREL (Project) file, see this ARTICLE.
Good luck,
Hi John,
That article was helpful, thank you. I guess I was getting confused because the ending isn't mp4, but .flv or .fl4. When I save it under that format it doesn't change the original .prel file does it?
Thank you!
The .prel file is not a video file. It contains 'instructions' on how to change the appearance of your video clips when Shared to a DVD or other output. Your original video clips remain in their original state.
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
That FLV output is because you chose Adobe Flash Media for the Export/Share settings. In the Settings Panel, there are scroll bars on the far-right, but they do not really stand out that well, and are often missed. To see all possibilities, just click+drag on the scroll bar, and more possibilities will be revealed to you.
Good luck,
PS - As Neale points out, PrE is a "non-destructive" editor, so the original files are not changed in any way. As for the PREL, it has no media in it, and only links to Source Files, and instructions in XML code.
Hi Bill,
Thanks so much for the info! So, am I correct in assuming that I don't want to save as a FLV if I want to upload to something like YouTube?
Also, I can't seem to find the Settings Panel! Could you be more specific as to where to find it? And where the scroll bars are?
Sorry, this issue has really been a bugga-boo, not sure why it's been so difficult for me!
Thanks so much Bill!
FLV is certainly an option for YouTube.So is H.264 in an MP4 wrapper.
I normally Export to FLV, and have not noticed an issue with YouTube, but I am usually doing tutorials, or quick display material, so with my SD Project, it has worked fine.
Steve Grisetti has done the full Export/Share specs. for H.264, for YouTube in this FAQ Entry. Were I doing HD Projects, I would most likely use H.264.
For most Export/Share Settings, one will find them under the Advanced button. As for the scroll bars, look to the far right of the Share Tab's Panel. They are there, but not easy to see.
Good luck,
Thanks Bill! I took a look at that FAQ that Steve created, but had a question about it. How would I find him to ask him? Also, how exact do each of those specs need to be? I feel like I'm operating on faith that it will come out right.
Also, this all seems so complicated to make an MP4, why is that?
Thanks so much for all your help! I appreciate it!
I'm on this forum pretty regularly, peanut. What's your question?
There's nothing wrong with operating on faith. That's what we all do. We find the best solution and then we share it with each other.
Those specs will give you the best possible quality on YouTube, based on the experience of a number of people. Is there a reason you'd prefer not to use those Share specs?
Thanks for the smile Steve, your response was cracking me up:)
You're right, there's nothing wrong with operating on faith:). There was no particular reason I didn't want to use those specs, I just have no idea what I'm doing or why I'm inputting those things, but I guess I don't need to know:)
I had a question about that FAQ sheet that you did. I didn't understand this last part:
1. From Premiere Elements, select the Share/Personal Computer option, then select the DV-AVI output option (either standard or widescreen).
2. Import this AVI file into Windows MovieMaker, place the file on MovieMaker's timeline and Publish (to your hard drive) a
WMV, dvd-quality (4:3 size) PAL 3,0 M.
Also, I don't have Windows MovieMaker, is that going to be a problem?
If you have Windows, you have Windows MovieMaker, which used to be a great program for converting files. But not since Vista, when Microsoft redesigned it as MovieMaker Live.
I'm not sure how else to say (1) though. Go to the Share tab, select Personal Computer (or Computer -- it depends on which version of the program you're using), then select the AVI option with the DV preset. Is that not an option you're seeing?
Hi Steve,
I will go back and check again on the AVI thing.
As for the Windows MovieMaker, I do have that, however, last time I tried to use it I encountered some problems. I will try again, but I'm wondering is this a necessary part of the conversion process?
Also, how long does the conversion process usually take?
how long does the conversion process usually take?
This will depend on three factors:
Good luck,
Thanks Bill!
Also, do you know if you need to use Windows MovieMaker as a part of this conversion process? I know in the past I've had issues with it.
Personally, I seldom use Windows Movie Maker (have the old, non-Live version), as I will just convert WMV material to another format/CODEC, to suit the needs. However, I use a shareware converter, DigitalMedia Converter 2.7 (older version from Deskshare), and it's not free.
I did use WMM recently, as I had 5 WMV's, that only needed a quick Trim and assembly into one WMV file. That was the first time in probably 6 mos. I also have issues with WMM, and it crashes often on computers that run PrE and PrPro with very large Projects, just fine.
Not sure if you need to use it, but it can be utilized as a conversion program, and especially for WMV materal. My older version will only Export to DV-AVI I, but that is close enough to work in PrE, or PrPro, in most cases.
Good luck,

Windows Movie Maker 2.6 works just fine with XP, Vista and W7 32 & 64 bit. It retains the export to DV-AVI that was dropped from the Live version.
Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your children
So I have exported the .prel file as directed by the specs that Steve indicated in the FAQ sheet, but it is a .mov file not an mP4. How can I make it an mP4?
Thank you!
Hi Bill, and everyone else on this thread:)
So, this is turning into a bit of a saga for me. I have now resolved the part of saving the files (converting them). The problem now is that they take so long to upload to Amazon S3 that sometimes it times out before I have finished uploading.
Does anyone have any suggestions as how I could resolve this problem? Is there any way to package the file or zip it up before uploading?
Thank you!
That's great news, Neale! Thanks for the tip!

About Hunter Hayes
It's hard to say when the last time (was there a last time?) an artist left such a large impression not just on the country genre, but on music as a whole. But then again, it's been a long time since a debut artist like Hunter Hayes.
Hunter Hayes issues 'Storm Warning' for country music (Created May 22, 2013)
Where do you start when describing the talent level of a guy like Hayes? Using a phrase like "multi-instrumentalist" hardly seems fair when he's learned to play practically everything he's picked up since the age of two. What started with the accordion has become the guitar, the bass guitar, drums, keyboard and too many more to list (32 as of last count). In fact, he played every instrument on his Grammy-nominated, eponymous debut album -- a feat that's simply stunning, no matter the age and experience of the artist in question.
That aforementioned freshman offering, released in 2011, has produced three hit singles for the rising star. The first, "Storm Warning," climbed to number 14 on the U.S. Country Chart. Then came "Wanted," which went all the way to No. 1. It was followed by "Somebody's Heartbreak," which enjoyed phenomenal radio support on its climb up the charts.
Is there anything Hunter Hayes can't do? You're talking about a kid who received his first guitar from actor Robert Duvall, performed for President Bill Clinton at the White House, and has already opened for the likes of Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood. And, oh yeah, became the youngest member of the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame two days shy of his 21st birthday.
Hayes began appearing on the opening act of 90+ dates for Underwood's "Blown Away Tour" on September 14, 2012. He was also nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, at the 2013 Grammy Awards. His album's fourth single, "I Want Crazy" was released to radio April 7, 2013.

However the question I wanted to ask is why does The Phoenix need a host? I have been looking at all the destruction the Phoenix has caused and I am just wondering why the Phoenix just doesn't burn the entire Earth and move on.

Oropharyngeal Dysphagia
Oropharyngeal Dysphagia - Overview
(Oropharyngeal Dysphagia, Difficulty Swallowing [Mouth or Pharynx])
Dysphagia happens when there are problems with the swallowing process. There are two main types:
- Oropharyngeal dysphagia—swallowing problems happen in the mouth and the pharynx (the part of the throat behind the mouth)
- Esophageal dysphagia —swallowing problems happen in the esophagus (the tube that transports food from the throat to the stomach)
This article focuses on oropharyngeal dysphagia.
Risk Factors
Oropharyngeal dysphagia may be caused by:
- Neuromuscular disorders (eg, stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Huntington chorea)
- Neurological damage (e.g., brain or spinal cord injury)
- Tumors in the mouth or throat
- Pouches in the pharynx (Zenker's diverticulum)
Risk Factors
Risk factors include:
- Having a neurological condition
- Advanced age
- Being born prematurely
- Cancer
- Cancer treatment
- Infection (eg, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, strep throat)
Symptoms include:
- Difficulty starting the swallowing process to move food or liquid from the mouth to the pharynx (Liquid may be harder to swallow than food.)
- A sensation that food is stuck in the throat
- Regurgitation
- Drooling, coughing, choking
- Weight loss, malnutrition, and dehydration (due to problems with eating and drinking)
The doctor will:
- Ask about your symptoms.
- Take your medical history.
- Do a physical exam.
Tests may include:
- Swallow test to observe what happens when you swallow
- Videofluorographic swallowing study (VFSS)—an imaging test that involves swallowing food mixed with barium solution (It allows the doctor to watch the swallowing process on a monitor.)
- Laryngoscopy —a test to examine the upper part of the throat
- Barium swallow —an imaging test that involves swallowing a barium solution and having x-rays taken of the esophagus
- Esophageal manometry—a test to measure the functioning of the esophageal muscles
You and your doctor will work together to find a treatment that is right for you. You may need to work with a specialist. The specialist can teach you how to improve your swallowing. There are exercises and techniques that you can learn. Your doctor may also recommend that you make changes to your diet. For example, you may need to eat food and liquid of a certain kind of consistency.
You can reduce your risk by getting proper treatment for any related conditions.

February 24th.
I'm glad I've got a big toe. Big feet. Large size, large toes. Large piles of shit require large toes to stomp them down the drain when necessary.
How large a pile of shit? Allow me to go into some detail.
Our team left Bastion fairly early yesterday, in force. We left with pretty much every gun we could muster and headed straight to the Factory. The roads between here and the Factory were largely clear of undead. I think we might've had to steer to and fro ten times at most to hit and kill a zombie. It was a pleasant change of pace, and very much unlike some other driving moments later in the day.
At the Factory we encountered a rather large amount of the dead. They weren't ranked up per se, but everywhere you looked in the surrounding streets the bodies were probably three deep. I'd guess and say no more than ten to fifteen feet of space was between any given undead and another. To clear us some space to work Caleb punched the HRT and literally plowed us a straight line into the area right in front of the old nightclub. Once we were close to the building, Abby and myself got onto the roof of the ambulance and we started plinking away with .22 rifles. At the same time, our two humvee crews dismounted and began to lay down heavy clearing fire, emptying the space of threats at a fast pace. After perhaps ten minutes of steady fire, we were able to move on with the plan, and pick up three more Factory shooters.
Two younger men, both around 18, and then Barry. You remember Barry? The poor kid from the car dealership way back when? Good kid.
We checked on them for about thirty minutes, getting a face to face update with them, and then we headed out to the apartment building parking garage. On approach we knew we were in for a tough trip. Tough enough that we almost cancelled it. The undead were packed in fairly tight around the garage, and just driving into the garage was going to be a challenge. However once we talked over the radio we decided it was worth a shot, and at worse, we could drive to the top, drop the wood we brought for the lure fires, and then take off before things got worse.
Caleb behind the wheel of the HRT yet again meant we were making zombie pate. He loves hitting those things as they walk along. The entrance to the parking garage barely fit the HRT. And by barely, I mean we lost the horn off the roof as we drove up the concrete slope into the first level. I nearly shit a brick when it ripped free, but Kevin in the humvee two vehicles behind us called out what had happened. I elected to move forward, and Caleb drove on.
Inside the parking garage there were perhaps a third of the vehicles it could hold on a busy day. Many of the vehicles still had their doors open, and the floors right below them covered in dark stains of old blood. These stains are nearly two years old now. I'm sure many folks running from their places of employment met their demise fumbling with keys, or trying to start their car back in June. Imagine building the nerve to run out of your office building alone, run through the crowd of undead, into the garage, and reach your car, only to butter finger your keys onto the floor mat long enough to have a zombie yank you out forcibly and eat you? What a shit way to go.
To help buy us some time the third and fourth vehicle in the group started ramming parked cars across the entrance to the garage. The fourth vehicle was a humvee, and with the powerful motor it was able to push a few small cars into the way, forming an impromptu roadblock for us. Security on the first floor was obviously our greatest priority.
The HRT and the Deuce went all the way to the top floor, stopping as needed to take down any and all undead we saw. Frankly Mr. Journal, I'm surprised at how many there were just wandering around the damn garage. I'm not sure if they were lost, or that they hadn't been lured out by any other noises the entire time. I mean shit, who knows at this point?
Anyhoo, I found the overall amount of targets to be higher than I would've liked. We had no difficulty on the upper levels clearing as we went up. Staying in constant radio contact with Kevin and the first floor crew meant we were only a minute away from supporting them, and vice versa. We were worried that at any point more of the assholes who shot at us the other day would return, opening fire, but in reality the only threat we had was undead. Lots of them too.
On the top floor we emptied the entire back end of the Deuce onto and underneath a pair of parked cars. The two cars were in adjacent spaces, and we arranged the wood to burn on top, inside, and on the bottom. As three of us did that, two more went vehicle to vehicle with hoses and gas cans, draining gas tanks.
Amazingly enough, most of the gas tanks on that level still had fuel. So much fuel in fact, we started prying trunks open to find more fuel tanks to get the fuel. I forget the exact amount of gas we pulled out of there, but we brought every single one of our fuel cans, including the fat ass tanks in the humvees, and we filled every single one. I'd comfortable say we left with 200 gallons. Now if we had brought our 55 gallon drums…
Makes me want to postpone this trip into the city just to get the damn fuel. By now though we're pot committed. We made far too much noise shooting, drilling, yelling, screaming, and farting yesterday. By now the garage is crawling with undead, and we need that population to get smooshed by the decks when they collapse.
There will be more vehicles with gas tanks. Plus Blake has little to no time to filter the fuel right now. He's far too busy working with Martin and Quan, learning explosives.
Speaking of which, while my crew was upstairs on the top level, those three plus a handful more were downstairs using the concrete drills to make holes to sink the plastic explosive into. Quan was paranoid as balls about the Semtex due to its age. I guess it was old, and old explosives are… fickle. He insisted no one touch them but him, and he simply linked all the charges and hooked them up as needed. Martin and Blake simply drilled holes where he marked them while the rest of the team provided security.
I guess they had multiple very close encounters with zombies underneath vehicles. On the second occasion of one of them dragging themselves out from under a fucking parked car, Kevin radioed up to us , shat brick in hand, yelling for us to watch out for it. We got really lucky up top, not gonna lie. Several of us spent many a minute on bended knee at a gas cap getting fuel. We easily could've lost someone.
I listened carefully the entire morning and into the afternoon until we'd finished with our fire piles. We didn't light them yet… we just got them ready. Lighting them will be for when we're about to go, which will be another couple of days. Four maybe, not positive just yet.
We relocated to the third deck and called for Blake to join us. He grabbed one of the humvees, drove up to us on the third level, and one of my crew switched out with him so they had full staffing and vehicles on the bottom floor. Fortunately while we were doing the swap, we had a brief lull, and no one was in extra danger.
Blake grabbed the spare car battery we brought along and popped the hood on a car that we knew had a car alarm. It took us two or three tries to find a car that didn't simply have a starter kill feature, and an actual car alarm. In case you were wondering Mr. Journal, car alarms are useless. I can't even tell you how many times I heard a car alarm going off in the distance and did nothing about it. Now starter kill on the other hand was far more effective. Anyway, Blake got the battery into the car, jury rigged it, and after playing around with a few wires, the car alarm went off, right on cue.
Noise maker now effective, we packed up and went downstairs to back up Kevin's team as Quan and Martin finished working on the explosives. Quan was wrapping up the final wiring on the radio controlled detonator when we arrived. We were pushing the two cars blocking the garage out of the way less than twenty minutes later, and after smashing through a few dozen undead milling about beyond the cars, we were back on the road, all in one piece.
I know I drew the lucky straw upstairs with my group setting up the fires. I also know that was entirely intentional on Kevin's part. He's trying desperately to keep my safe, yet also putting me near enough the action so that if something really bad DOES happen, I can be there to help. It's a fine balance. On two fronts really. He's trying to keep me safe while still using me, as well as keep me in the loop, but not offend me.
I am also sure a huge portion of this is Michelle's handiwork.
We ditched the Factory guys back at their base of operations, and took the long drive home in shitty weather. While we were inside the garage the weather turned south on us. Sleet and freezing rain were the order of the day, and the roads were treacherous. We had one gut buster moment just as the sun was done being useful for the day. A zombie was coming down a side road right near Gilbert's old warehouse. It must've heard us coming from a bit away, and just as we were crossing the road it was on, the damn thing slipped in some freezing rain and went down hard on its back. I think it cracked its skull too, because it was still very still when the fourth vehicle passed it.
I guess it's good to be lucky every now and then.
Things here at Bastion are quiet. We're prepping for our next trip to the other parking garage near the hospital. Not sure exactly what day that'll be, but I'll let you know as soon as we iron it out.
Getting nervous Mr. Journal. That went fairly well yesterday, and I'm sure that despite how crappy it actually was, that was still just the calm before the storm.
I may or may not think about Michelle when I turn out the lights. Otis wants some company, so I'm gonna turn this laptop off, and give my homeboy what he's jonesing for.
A scratched tummy.
