Intercostal retractions occur when the muscles between the ribs pull inward. The movement is most often a sign that the person has a breathing problem.
Intercostal retractions are a medical emergency.
Retractions of the chest muscles
The wall of your chest is flexible. This helps you breathe normally. Stiff tissue called cartilage attaches your ribs to the breast bone (sternum).
The intercostal muscles are the muscles between the ribs. During breathing, these muscles normally tighten and pull the rib cage up. Your chest expands and the lungs fill with air.
Intercostal retractions are due to reduced air pressure inside your chest. This can happen if the upper airway (trachea) or small airways of the lungs (bronchioles) become partially blocked. As a result, the intercostal muscles are sucked inward, between the ribs, when you breathe. This is a sign of airway obstruction . Any diseases or condition that causes a blockage in the airway will cause intercostal retractions.
Seek medical attention right away if intercostal retractions occur. This can be a sign of airway blockage obstruction, which can quickly become life threatening.
Also seek medical care if the skin, lips, or nailbeds turn blue, or if the person becomes confused , drowsy , or is hard to wake up.
In emergency situations, the health care team will first take steps to help you breathe. You may receive oxygen, medicines to reduce swelling, and other treatments.
When you can breathe better, the doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
Tests that may be done include:

and on wikipedia
Written in first order logic, Hatcher's proof of God is based on three axioms that he calls "empirically grounded" and an apriori assumption that "something exists."
The axioms are that:
P1. The principle of sufficient reason: All phenomena are either self-caused (i.e. A->A) or other-caused (B->A; B is not equal to A) but not both. Put another way, this principle says that the question "why?" is always meaningful. Everything happens for a reason.
P2. The potency principle: If A -> B then for all C element of B, A -> C. In other words if A is the cause of B then A is the cause of every part of B. There are several notions of causality in philosophy. Hatcher's notion of causality is total causality; i.e. it is not the straw that breaks the camel's back but the 1000 straws before it, the camel, gravity, and so forth, that give rise to the camel breaking its back.
P3. The principle of limitation: For all A, where A is an element of B, B -> A does not hold. This says a system (which Hatcher represents as a set) cannot be the cause of its own components. Hatcher justifies this by explaining any system has (1) form (the parts) and (2) function (the relationship between the parts). A car (the system) cannot be the cause of its own steering wheel (a part), because the car does not even logically exist until the steering wheel exists. Thus the car's existence cannot precede the steering wheel's existence.
Hatcher shows that the logical outcome of these 3 axioms together with the above noted assumption are the existence of a "unique, universal, uncaused cause."

Vertical sunscreen fins cover the L-shaped, one-room-wide house.

Floor and site plans of the project.
This custom home's narrow hillside site posed a challenge for Studio Pali Fekete architects (SPF:a). The property had a 16-foot height limit, which was too low for the two-story residence the owner wanted. Luckily, though, that owner happens to be top-notch custom builder Mauricio Oberfeld, who is accustomed to pulling off hard-to-manage feats. He and SPF:a's Zoltan E. Pali decided to lower the buildable area by 6 feet, thus creating a bit more headroom. They then suspended the property's pool over the hillside to create a bigger deck area. The drama doesn't stop once you enter the house: a glass-and-concrete-enclosed entry foyer (shown on page 11) purposely confuses the boundary between indoors and outdoors. "The idea is that you actually haven't come in yet, even though you're in," Pali says. The judges felt the project balanced daring design with livability. "It's a functional take on modern architecture," one juror said.

Aminoaciduria is an abnormal amount of amino acids in the urine. Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins in the body.
Amino acids - urine; Urine amino acids
A clean-catch urine sample is needed. This is often done at your doctor's office or health clinic.
Most of the time you do not need to take special steps before this test. Make sure your doctor knows all of the medicines you recently used. If this test is being done on an infant who is breast-feeding, make sure the health care provider knows what medicines the nursing mother is taking.
The test involves only normal urination.
This test is done to measure amino acid levels in the urine. There are many different types of amino acids. It is common for some of each kind to be found in the urine. Increased levels of individual amino acids can be a sign a problem with metabolism.
The specific value is measured in micromoles per deciliter (micromol/dL).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Increased total urine amino acids may be due to:
Screening infants for increased levels of amino acids can help detect problems with metabolism. Early treatment for these conditions may prevent complications in the future.

Glenn O'Brien's TV Party blew the dust out of New Yorker's air ducts for four odd years from 1978 to 1982. The hour-long live, unscripted show took advantage of New York's early-ish cable access world — a world mandated by a deal that cable networks could have their little monopolies as long as the public was granted free access to a certain percentage of airtime. It's a deal still going on all across America today, and after watching a little TV Party, you'd be a damn fool not to get involved. You see, TV can be fun, and you can make it! As for TV Party — essentially a showcase for what O'Brien and friends thought of as cool — it's not for everyone. But those who like bizarro television, the downtown New York scene of the day, or cult movies and TV with a capital C (Liquid Sky or Robin Byrd's porno talk-show, for instance) will get a serious kick from this experiment in 'socialist TV' — the TV show that's a party, but it could also be a political party.
The Sublimely Intolerable Show aired January 8th 1979, with O'Brien (writer, Warhol-ite and once New Wave gadabout) loosely holding the reins — flogging the horse or letting it stumble down rocky inclines, however he, his guests, audience or callers saw fit. Aired in black and white, the night's guests included Compton Maddox and John Moses playing weird guitar tunes, Klaus Nomi singing opera, and Andy Shernoff covering the Beach Boys, (backed by Tish and Snooky of Manic Panic fame). Downtown director Eric Mitchell plays a clip of his movie Kidnapped while plugging the New Cinema Theater, director David Silver and Kate Simon do 'White People Talk About Reggae,' and finally Debbie Harry, Chris Stein (also of Blondie and later official co-host of TV Party) and Richard Sohl help O'Brien with the viewer call-in segment while passing a joint.
According to O'Brien's TV Party website, David Letterman once told Paul Schaeffer on air that "TV Party is the greatest TV show anywhere, ever," and for those of us now corn-fed on the GMOs that are Two and a Half Men and their ilk, it's hard to argue. The show thrives on O'Brien's heartfelt diffidence (hard to manage, true) and an anything-can-happen dangerousness that's impossible to fake. It appears effortless because in many ways it was, semi-professionals aided and abetted, and total amateurs did little things like; operate cameras and run sound. In fact the first five or ten minutes of Sublimely Intolerable have no sound at all, nothing but random pops (as people scurry to fix the problem) and (also according to the TV Party website) Jean-Michel Basquiat typing super-graphics like "Oh no! No sound! Fuck!" Top-notch scenester entertainment makes up for deficiencies O'Brien encouraged. Maddox and Moses's pre-ironic ironic numbers bubble dangerously, with O'Brien and Debbie Harry et al dancing in lab coats. Klaus Nomi's unearthly soprano aria and equally alien demeanor are stunning and bizarre. Shernoff is cool enough — while pointing out how even the most insipid Beach Boys song comes with a super-sharp chord progression — and director Mitchell seems baffled and is baffling.
White People Talk About Reggae rides a dangerous edge; the audience mocks, Simon and Silver seem defensive talking about the 'music of upliftment,' and then a joint starts making the rounds. The joint stays for the 'viewer call-in' segment which always closed the show. It's emblematic of the off-the-rails genius of the show. Sure, the technological aspects are junk, and performances or interviews hit-or-miss, but letting uncensored live callers on the air is pure gold. O'Brien and crew are unassuming in their greatness — they're the cool kids at school who'll actually accept you (even though you know you're a total geek) just because they're self-secure — shining as they wade through call after call questioning their sexual practices and ethnicity. This stuff is not for the easily offended, but it's a testament to the power of a slick hand willing to let the chips fall wherever.
The first 10% of this show sums up what we don't get on TV anymore. Technical difficulties. TV Party was live and improvised, and this meant casual disaster. This early episode gets off to an artistically agonizing start–the sound person is late, overdosing on drugs or both. Or it was the broken down equipment. Once the sound kicks in the show gets lively. Compton Maddux, a droll singer songwriter, is backed up by Debbie Harry and Glenn; the unique futurist soprano Klaus Nomi does one of his post-modern arias; Adny Shernoff, of the Dictators, plays the Beach Boys' "Be True to Your School" backed up by pom pom girls Tish and Snooky, the Manic Panic designers. Downtown legend director Eric Mitchell announces the opening of the now famous New Cinema theater and shows a clip from his film "Kidnapped" with Arto Lindsay, Duncan Smith and Anya Phillips. Brit director David Silver and photographer Kate Simon do the "white people talk about reggae" segment. Blondie's Chris Stein and Debbie Harry and the Patti Smith Group's Richard Sohl drop in to smoke a reefer and take calls from all the crazies in cable land. Chris explains all this isn't chaos, it's art.

Warning Graphic! Gaddafi's Female Bodyguards Found Murdered, Chinese Reactions
Thursday, November 03, 2011, 9:03:
When Gaddafi fled, his female bodyguards ["The Revolutionary Nuns" or "Amazonian Guard"] also disbanded, but still many of them were tracked down. According to information organized by a Middle Eastern website, the first fled with her boyfriend but was caught by the opposition and shot dead, the two of them dying together. The second was identified despite her makeup /disguise and was beaten to death. The third was kidnapped by the opposition's soldiers, viciously tortured and gang-raped for days before being strangled to death with the words "the fate for Gaddafi's whores" beside her, her body rotting when discovered. At this moment Gaddafi was still on the run!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nora88 Great wallet for carrying just a few things!
I've had this wallet for many years, and it's really great to just put a few necessary cards and cash in when you don't want to carry a big bulky wallet. The leather is a bit tight when you first get it, but it stretches to fit all the cards you need, never stretching too much that they fall out. The middle section holds cash, but not a lot. Overall, great purchase. I don't go anywhere without it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sissy Granddaughters favorite
My Granddaughter is a Freshman at UT and she wanted this for her college ID, and her DL and CC. Plus a little change. I got her the orange one since she is at U or Texas. She loves it so much, I have ordered another that has the strap. Not sure the strap will stay on it, but I thought she might like an extra.

Rated 1 out of 5 by iLoveLux I got a lemon...
I was really excited about this, and I got it on sale. It is so cute and is exactly what I was looking for. 12 days after I bought it the stitching started to come loose on the front side (and i did not overstuff it). As a result, it looks like I've owned it for years when it's brand new. Not happy.

I bought robinson because I needed a small little card case to use whenever i don't want to carry my wallet and this one is just perfect! I got it in black since i thought it will match anything! I love the quality of the leather and the small tb logo in the front! Def worth the price!

Rated 5 out of 5 by seema Simple and Classy!
I received this as a free gift from Tory Burch when I spent 300 dollars at a local store. I have to say, I would have definitely spent the full $85 if I knew how convenient this would make life. The bold TB logo is a nice touch. It fits my debit card, license, student ID, and a little bit of cash making it nice for when I'm going out and don't want to carry much. It also fits perfectly in even the smallest crossbody. A MUST HAVE for ANY tory burch lover! :)

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a neurological condition in which proteins called amyloid build up on the walls of the arteries in the brain. The condition increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke and dementia.
Amyloidosis - cerebral; CAA
The cause of cerebral amyloid angiopathy is unknown. Sometimes, it may be passed down through families.
Persons with this condition have deposits of amyloid protein in the walls of the brain arteries. The protein is usually not deposited anywhere else in the body.
The major risk factor is increasing age. It is more often seen in those older than 60.
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy can cause bleeding into the brain, usually in the outer parts of the brain, called the lobes, and not the deep areas. Symptoms occur because bleeding in the brain harms brain tissue. If there is a lot of bleeding, immediate symptoms occur and resemble a stroke. Such symptoms include:
Other symptoms can include:
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is difficult to diagnose with certainty without a sample of brain tissue. This is usually done after death or when a biopsy of the blood vessels of the brain is done.
A physical exam can be relatively normal if you have a small bleed, but you may show some brain function changes. It is important for the doctor to ask detailed questions about your medical history. Your symptoms and the results of your physical exam and any imaging tests may cause your doctor to suspect this problem.
A CT scan or MRI of the head may show:
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the brain can help with the diagnosis of large bleeds and may be used to rule out arteriovenous malformation or aneurysm as the cause of the bleed.
Another type of MRI scan can help show tiny areas where blood has escaped from blood vessels into brain tissue.
There is no known effective treatment. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms. In some cases, rehabilitation is needed for weakness or clumsiness. This can include physical, occupational, or speech therapy.
Occasionally, some patients may benefit from medications that help improve memory, such as those used to treat Alzheimer's disease.
Seizures, sometimes called "amyloid spells," may be treated with anticonvulsants such as phenytoin (Dilantin) and carbamazepine (Tegretol).
The disorder slowly gets worse but varies from person to person.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have a sudden loss of movement , sensation, vision, or speech.

An exercise stress test is used to measure the effect of exercise on your heart.
Exercise ECG; ECG - exercise treadmill; EKG - exercise treadmill; Stress ECG; Exercise electrocardiography; Stress test - exercise treadmill
This test is done at a medical center or health care provider's office.
The technician will place 10 flat, sticky patches called electrodes on your chest. These are attached to an ECG monitor that follows the electrical activity of your heart during the test.
You will walk on a treadmill or pedal on an exercise bicycle.
While you exercise, the activity of your heart is measured with an electrocardiogram (ECG ). Your blood pressure readings are also taken.
The test continues until:
You will be monitored for 10 to 15 minutes after exercising, or until your heart rate returns to baseline. The total time of the test is around 60 minutes.
You must not eat, smoke, or drink beverages containing caffeine or alcohol for 3 hours (or more) before the test.
Wear comfortable shoes and loose clothing to allow you to exercise.
Ask your health care provider if you should take any of your regular medicines on the day of the test. Some medicines may interfere with test results. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
Tell your doctor if you are taking sildenafil citrate (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or vardenafil (Levitra) and have taken a dose within the past 24 to 48 hours.
You will usually be asked to avoid caffeine for 24 hours before the test. This includes:
Electrodes (conductive patches) will be placed on your chest to record the heart's activity. You may feel mild burning or stinging when the electrode sites are prepared.
You will have a blood pressure cuff on your arm that will be inflated every few minutes. This will produce a tight, squeezing feeling.
Baseline measurements of heart rate and blood pressure will be taken before exercise starts.
Sometimes, people experience some of the following during the test:
Reasons why you may have an exercise stress test include:
There may be other reasons why your health care provider asks for this test.
The meaning of your test results depends on the reason for the test, your age, and your history of heart and other medical problems.
It may be hard to interpret the results of an exercise-only stress test in some patients.
Abnormal results may be due to:
When you have an abnormal exercise stress test, you may have other tests performed on your heart such as:
Stress tests are mostly safe. Some patients may have chest pain or may faint or collapse. A heart attack or dangerous irregular rhythm is rare.
Complications are more likely in people who are already known to have a weak heart. This test is not given in these cases.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Secretary of State Dunlap Announces Expansion of Rapid Renewal ServiceOakland Residents Can Now Renew Vehicle Registrations OnlineThe Town of Oakland has launched Rapid Renewal, the Department of the Secretary of State's online service for the renewal of motor vehicle registrations. Residents of Oakland now join the hundreds of thousands of Maine citizens who can renew their vehicle registrations online, at anytime of the day, from the comfort and convenience of their homes or offices. Rapid Renewal is a groundbreaking e-commerce service that allows citizens to conduct business with municipal government and state government in one seamless online transaction. The service has gained national acclaim and has been enthusiastically embraced by Mainers. While municipal participation in Rapid Renewal is optional, the service has quickly grown to include 95 municipalities, and more than 140,000 transactions have been processed. "Oakland joins a long and growing list of Maine communities choosing to provide their residents with the convenience of Rapid Renewal," stated Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap. "I encourage nonparticipating towns to follow the leadership of Oakland and the many other participating municipalities. As budget-conscious municipal leaders seek new ways to provide efficient and convenient services, I'm confident Rapid Renewal will become available to an increasing number of Maine citizens." The 95 municipalities currently offering Rapid Renewal comprise more than half of Maine's population. The service is being offered by municipalities from York County to Aroostook County, with populations ranging from Caswell's 326 citizens to Portland's 64,249. Through Rapid Renewal, citizens are able to renew their vehicle registrations and pay their municipal excise taxes online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's quick, and it's easy.

Ahead of the qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix on Saturday I heard Eddie Jordan, former owner of Jordan Grand Prix, comment to David Coulthard that he was pleased that KERS (Kinetic Energy Recover Systems) would not be in F1 for the 2010 season. Love it or hate it from a racing perspective, I think given the state of the current technology that's probably a good thing. I say that with some regret, … Read More

The Blues and John Davidson have decided to part ways.
A source has confirmed to the Post-Dispatch that Davidson, who spent seven years with the organization, has agreed to a buyout offer from the Blues for an undisclosed amount.
Davidson, who most recently held the title of president of hockey operations, had three years left on a contract that owed him approximately $6 million.
A first-round pick of the Blues in 1973, Davidson played two seasons as a goaltender here before being traded to the New York Rangers. He spent the rest of his playing career with the Rangers, then moved into the broadcast booth, where he had an illustrious three-decade run on TV.
In 2006, Davidson gave up that career and agreed to become a front-office figure for Dave Checketts, who was head of a group buying the Blues. But Davidson took on a role much greater than a member of management, becoming the face of the franchise in a city where fans became disenchanted with the sport after the 2004-05 lockout.
It became apparent when a new Blues ownership group headed by Tom Stillman came in last May that one of the group's goals was to cut costs, and Davidson's hefty contract came into question.
At the time, Davidson told the Post-Dispatch that he would explore his options and in fact met with the Columbus Bluejackets, but nothing materialized there.
Recently, Davidson spent some time working on the business side of the Blues' operation, but shortly thereafter, the sides mutually agreed to part ways.
Blues player T.J. Oshie said of Davidson: "The way he talked about the fans, the way he talked about our team and that come-grow-with-us (theme), I think he really caught a lot of people's attention and got us to where we were last year."
The Blues totaled 109 points last season and were the Western Conference's No. 2 seed for the playoffs. They were eliminated in the second round by eventual Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles.
Speculation from Puck Daddy:
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck- ... um=twitter
Let's be clear: Now that he's officially left the St. Louis Blues as their president of hockey operations, the best move for John Davidson would be to return to television color commentary.
Yes, this is a completely selfish declaration on our part, because we hold JD up as the gold standard for hockey analysis in the booth; we doubt he'll be willing to take the pay cut.
Instead, Davidson will find a number of opportunities in the NHL to do what he did in St. Louis: Build a winner on the ice through the draft and smart spending, and be the voice of the organization in keeping fans enthusiastic about the direction of the franchise.
You think the Calgary Flames or Columbus Blue Jackets could use a guy like that? (Or, in a delicious twist, given his history with the New York Rangers, how about the New York Islanders?)
The news, first reported by Louis Jean of TVA, comes three months after Davidson's negotiating window with other teams closed. Speculation remained that new owner Tom Stillman would work out a financial settlement with Davidson, who had three years and an estimated $6 million left on his deal. Apparently, that's finally happened.
Davidson met with the Blue Jackets during his negotiating window, talking with the team about taking over hockey operations and igniting pipe dreams about convincing Rick Nash to stay.
From Aaron Portzline of the Dispatch:
At $2 million per season, he was part of a talent-laden front office that also includes Doug Armstrong, Larry Pleau, Al MacInnis, head scout Dave Taylor and coach Ken Hitchcock. Outside of the Toronto Maple Leafs, it's one of the deepest and most expensive front offices in the NHL.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets have long had a crying need for experience and cache at the top of their organization. Davidson met with majority owner John P. McConnell and president Mike Priest in May, but none involved would discuss the meeting publicly.
He also loves Calgary. In, like, a big way. Both he and the team denied any interest in adding Davidson to management back in June, but speculation was that Davidson could run hockey ops while Ken King moves into a business leadership role.
Davidson's a rock star executive, and an asset to any team that manages to add him to the brain trust.
But yeah, we'd rather hear him back in the booth.
"Oh baby …"

Episode Information
Halloween is the reason the American candy industry will never need a federal bailout. I mean, if we had a holiday when people had to hand out Chevys to kids who rang the doorbell ...well, I guess that really isn't practical. But Halloween is more than that.
We honor the notion that the veil is thin, which means contact with other worlds and spirit realms is more possible, even probable. So today we'll explore a few of those other worlds. Theresa Kramer has an audio essay about a famous downstate ghost. Chion Wolf meets her doppelganger, a double leading a parallel life in eastern Connecticut. Annie Kelleher straightens us out about witches and wiccans and pagans. The Ghosthunters from the SyFy channel tell us about their visit to the Mark Twain House and Hans Felsendinger, our German correspondent, has some question about this odd American holiday.
Is that enough for you? It's Halloween. The ghosts are out. Who you gonna call?

Ese's delivery was poor but I do see what he is getting at. It sounds like he should have opened with, "Why God is white too and why everyone who isn't, wants to be". Most anti-racists that I've talked with have the classic text book quotes and "internet education" rebuttals that dismiss prude judgments of a potentially lesser species. Are hierarchies found in nature? Yes, at every single turn. Is it possible that human beings have a biological hierarchy? That's very probable. Just because we have feelings and emotions, are we are somehow excluded from this force in nature? Not likely. If an individual or clan, or race can function and operate at a certain level of intellect and refinement, they deserve credit for such a remarkable accomplishment. Intellect and refinement breeds health and technological advancements and never relies on another source (clan, tribe or race) for help or inspiration when accompanied with natural drive and resourcefulness. I think that's what our buddy Ese was trying to say. Sweeping the facts under the rug will not only delay true acceptance of differences in individuals and it will also never allow them to advance. I ask where is the tribe of white men and women waiting for their 10 tons of rice and water to be choppered in? We don't need aid, we give it. We don't need medicines, we administer them. We create and invent and give and they take and take and take. It is more one sided than is "hip" or popular to face in discussion. What a shame.
Darkness is everywhere - Cold, lifeless and Godless. Light shall prevail and bring warmth and meaning.

Forest fun Students spend much of day on outdoor lessons and games
Saturday, May 11, 2013
MADBURY — Students of Moharimet Elementary School enjoyed an enchanted day of activities Friday as the celebration for Day of The Forest took place.
The girls were giddy thinking about the Day of the Forest and everything they were able to do. Fairy houses were built outside and a trail walk featured visits from a forest ranger, Smokey Bear, John Weeks and Chief Moharimet. One thing that surprised them was learning that not so very long ago there was virtually no forest. Principal Dennis Harrington explained that local land was only about 15 percent forested compared to the 85 percent that exists today. Annika and Hannah said one important thing to do is to keep forest lands clean. "You shouldn't throw trash," Annika said, with Hannah adding that it's a good idea to pick up any trash left behind in the forests. Parent volunteer Bryan Bessette helped with soap carving and said he was really impressed with the number of things going on at the school to celebrate the day. "I had no idea coming in what kind of broad spectrum there would be," he said.
Weeks, a Republican politician who served in Massachusetts but who was born and raised in Lancaster, N.H., was portrayed by Principal Harrington. He showed a short musical video about the man with the lyrics taken from the actual piece of legislation. According to www.foresthistory.org, "the Weeks Act authorized the government to purchase lands for stream-flow protection, and to maintain the lands as national forests. This made it possible for the national forest system to expand into the eastern United States." Harrington said there were two things he really hoped the students took away from the day and that particular lesson. "That this guy is a hero," he said. "And that one person can make a difference."

I'm studying for finals and writing a paper and we can just leave it at that. But before clusters, I got a chance to visit my friend's family farm on the south side and we had a wonderful time!
We let the guys build a bonfire. … It was huge.
Group photo with a timed camera and a flash in PITCH BLACK DARKNESS! Turned out pretty well though.
And if fire and friendship wasn't enough for you… THE PARKS AND REC CAST WAS IN INDIANAPOLIS THIS WEEK.
Butler tried tweeting them from all of our coolest accounts (I TRIED TOO AND I'M THE COOLEST) but they only had a few hours in town to get the scene done. I would have died to be in the presence of Adam Scott. THAT HAIR.
I'm definitely hoping to wind down after next Thursday (my last final!) and partake in some Indianapolis fun times. I hear talk of a visit to Howl at the Moon and I'm also hoping to visit my favorite spot in Broad Ripple sometime before the holidays. But I'm not telling you where it is! Because it's a secret. If I go there I'll spill the beans and post pictures. Only 'cuz I like yooou.

The ceremonies mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the moment when guns fell silent in 1918, ending the hostilities of World War I.
The sombre ceremonies were commemorated with a minute's silence at 11:00am (local time).
In Canberra, thousands of people gathered at the Australian War Memorial for the national ceremony where Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Governor-General Quentin Bryce joined others in laying wreaths.
Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month," in accordance with the Armistice, signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.) World War I officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919.

Australians on the Western Front 1914–1918
An Australian journey across the First World War battlefields of France and Belgium
World War I, 1914–1918
World War I, 1914-1918, was the 'Great War', the 'war to end all wars'. In that conflict, the most important battleground was the 'Western Front' in France and Belgium where great battles were fought with names that were once household words in Australia - Fromelles, the Somme, Bullecourt, Messines, Passcshendaele, Dernancourt and Villers-Bretonneux. Of the more than 290,000 Australians who served in this theatre of war in the AIF, the Australian Imperial Force, 46,000 were either killed in action or died of their wounds. Dotted across the landscape of France and Belgium are hundreds of war cemeteries and memorials where these soldiers lie buried or where their names are listed among those thousands who have 'no known grave, the 'missing'. This website is dedicated to their memory and to those who served with them and returned to Australia, many of them wounded in body and spirit.
The Hindenburg Line- the last and strongest of the German army's defence - consisted of three well-defended trench systems, established in 1917. Throughout September 1918, Australian forces had helped the British army to secure positions from which an attack on the Hindenburg Line could be launched. Planning began for a major attack at the end of the month. It was hoped that this attack would finally break the power of the German army.
The Hindenburg Line: Breaking the Hindenburg Line
On 18 September 1918, Australia's preliminary attack was launched when Lieutenant General Sir John Monash's troops reached the first part of the Hindenburg Line. At 5.20 am, Monash's troops, supported by huge artillery barrages, attacked the heavily fortified German defences and machine-gun posts. Using only eight tanks (as well as dummy tanks to distract the Germans), they broke through German positions and took 4,300 prisoners. Although there were 1,000 dead or wounded, this cost was fairly slim compared to the losses of the German forces.
The Second Attack
On 29 September, the line was finally broken. Australian troops spearheaded this battle, given the task of breaking defences in the centre. They attacked a strongly defended sector at Bellicourt with tanks, artillery, and aircraft working in concert. Advances were made, but it was a struggle between the two forces. The fighting lasted four days and resulted in heavy losses.
Gunner J.R. Armitage wrote:
As we went over the ridge we found ourselves in the midst of the most wonderful and impressive battle field scene imaginable. It was a scene never to be forgotten with infantry, tanks, guns, everything in action in a sort of inferno of smoke and shell bursts.
Eventually, the Allies broke through the third and final stage of the Hindenburg Line, and the Germans were forced to fall back. Private Albert Golding wrote after the battle that he and some fellow diggers slept that night in an abandoned German trench and ate a hearty breakfast from hastily abandoned German supplies!
In this attack, troops captured the entrance to the St Quentin canal tunnel. Inside was a kitchen where German bodies were found – one of them in a cooking cauldron. There were wild claims that the enemy was boiling down the dead, and this was exploited by the allies' propaganda system. Anti-German sentiment was so strong that it was widely believed. An investigation soon proved that, during the fighting, a shell had exploded in an improvised kitchen, killing the unfortunate Germans and throwing one into a pot.
An attack on 5 October The Australian last brigade fought and took Montbrehain village, and with that, the Hindenburg Line was completely broken.
On the 11 November 1918 Germany signs an armistice ending the fighting on the Western Front. The First World War ended at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
By this time, most Australian troops had been fighting for six months without a break, 11 out of 60 battalions were disbanded because there were so few men left in them, and 27,000 men had been killed or wounded since the Battle of Amiens. The troops were worn and war weary.
When the Australian Army came to France, the French people expected a great deal of you … We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent … I shall go back tomorrow and say to my countrymen: 'I have seen the Australians. I have looked into their faces. I know that these men … will fight alongside us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and our children. - French Prime Minister, Georges Clemenceau, 1918
