Tweets Lightsprocket patrols the road between Halfhill and Zhu's Watch.
"Tina" is probably Tina Wang, not Tina Mudclaw, for two reasons: 1) Tina Mudclaw loves jewelry (Gina is the one who loves flowers), and 2) Tina Wang seems to know Tweets:
How did Tweets become acquainted with Tina Wang and Uncle Gus? These two pandaren reside in the Horde's Shrine of Two Moons. Were they originally intended to reside in the Alliance's Shrine of Seven Stars, instead, and got mixed up somehow?

I began this project last summer, as a follow-up to my rather crudely-assembled racial height and build comparison.
At the time, however, the sexism-in-WoW discussion was going around again, and I felt that it would be rather gauche to post what is undeniably an objectified image: I have reduced my models to shapes to be studied.
I'd been meaning to complete it anyway, but somehow BTH always seemed to already be using the tablet to work on his comic whenever I wanted to work on it :P
With all the wonderful new model previews being released, I figured I'd better finish this up quick, even though some of the subtleties of the stances and the shapes will soon be out-of-date.
I had been thinking I'd do a further follow-up of close-up studies of the front and profile shapes of the faces, because I feel like I still don't have a really good grasp on how to make some of the races different from my standard way of drawing human people. I'd like to do a companion set of "beach bums of Azeroth", too, because I feel that I understand the male shapes even less than the female shapes. Maybe I should wait on that until all the new models come out in 6.0, though.
Speaking of the new models, I've liked all the ones we've seen glimpses of so far, and I look forward to seeing the Night Elf, the Troll, and especially the Tauren. The new female Orc makes me wish I hadn't deleted my level 35 Orc Enhancement Shaman. I do hope the shaved head texturing makes it into the final model.

Well, now that I don't have the Legendary Cloak haunting me as unfinished business anymore, it feels like the leveling floodgates have opened. In the past few days, five alts — including a brand-new one — have gotten some serious playtime.
Kaelinda the Blood Elf Mage, who'd been sitting at about halfway through level 88 since she accomplished her goal on the Molten Front, pushed through a bit of the Townlong Steppes, some of the Dread Wastes, and a few dungeons to become my tenth level 90 character.
Kilauea the Troll Shaman went from level 22 to level 25, putting her right at-level to do Arathi Highlands and then the Hinterlands, two zones which I have not yet quested through since Cataclysm.
Kalaneia the Blood Elf Warlock went from level 55 to level 58. She might have gotten to level 60, but then I got distracted….
Tome and I took our wee Dwarf lassies, Flaminga the Warlock and Kjerstin the Shaman, to the Wetlands and played through most of the first major hub there before Tome had to sign off. Kjerstin is already overleveled for the zone, so she didn't quite get a level out of it, but I really want to see the storyline.
When BTH and I began leveling our Monks, I joined BTH's guild with my Monk so that we'd have the same guild XP bonuses — my personal guild wasn't yet leveled enough to have all of those perks. That meant, however, that my little all-Tauren guild has been missing Monk from the "Classy Tauren" achievement. My guild is now leveled enough to have all the XP perks, so I moved my Monk over to it… but that did not give me the 'chieve. It seems that I have to actually ding 85 with the class-race combo in-guild to get the 'chieve credit. So I rolled a new Monk. I started her as a Pandaren, so that she could have the cool Wandering Isle leather gear for RP wear, then race-changed her after she got to Kalimdor. She is going to level primarily through LFD, Archaeology, and Pet Battles.
And though I haven't managed to give her any playtime yet, Kelisanna the Blood Elf Rogue wants to level, too. BTH gave me Mistborn for my birthday, and Keli is still too low-level even to acquire the Survivor's Bag of Coins, let alone use it.

Brewfest, 2012
Brewfest, 2013
I would have been quite disappointed if there had been no Pandaren Brewmasters at Brewfest this year. But Blizzard remembered, and, even more delightful, their stock of small-batch Pandaren specialties is a complete cellar list of brews that can otherwise only be obtained from the brewmasters at the Celestial Court on the Timeless Isle.
This year, Kaoling insisted that as a Pandaren from the Wandering Isle, she must have a Pandaren Brewpack to tote around as she explores the rest of Azeroth. A hundred Brewfest Tokens are quite easy to obtain, so I obliged her.
Shado-Pan Green Cabbage Soup
Posted in Pandaren, Professions, Real Life, recipes on August 23, 2013 | 12 Comments »
Every day, when the Shado-Pan Trainee comes to pick up my green cabbages, he says,
I'm never quite sure if he's being sincere or sarcastic.
On the premise that he is sincere, I decided to try to figure out just what sort of soup the Shado-Pan make with all those green cabbages I grow for them. This recipe is adapted from these two asian cabbage soup recipes that Google found for me.
Shado-Pan Green Cabbage Soup
4 servings
8 Dried Mushrooms (preferrably shiitake)
4 c Golden Carp Consomme, divided (or chicken or vegetable broth)
1 onion, thinly sliced
1-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 head of Green Cabbage, chopped
1 Juicycrunch Carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 inch knob of Ginseng, peeled and thinly sliced (or regular ginger)
2-3 T Thousand Year Soy Sauce
Cindergut Pepper sauce, to taste (asian chili paste or Tabasco sauce)
2-3 Scallions, shredded, including the green parts
Heat 2 c of the broth and soak the dried mushrooms for about 15 minutes.
While the mushrooms are soaking, caramelize the onions in a dry pot over medium heat. When the onions are just starting to turn brown on the edges, add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and the garlic is starting to brown also.
Add the remaining 2 c of broth to the pot. Strain the mushrooms and add the mushroom-infused broth to the pot. Stir the ginger, carrots, and cabbage into the broth. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the stems from the mushrooms and discard. Thinly slice the mushroom caps. Stir the mushrooms, soy sauce, and chili into the soup and garnish with scallions immediately before serving.

Azeroth Beautician's Manual of Feminine Style — Appendix3: Racial Height & Build Comparison
Posted in Blood Elf, Draenei, Dwarf, Fashion, Forsaken, Gnome, Goblin, Human, Night Elf, Orc, Pandaren, Tauren, Troll, Worgen on April 23, 2013 | 15 Comments »
Kamalia's Guide to the Barbershop (bonus edition)
Okay, so, height and build aren't exactly things that you can change at all, let alone at the barbershop. They are, however, appearance-related. I put together this scale comparison of the various World of Warcraft player-character races for my own reference. Although it's kind of rough around the edges, I thought others might find it useful, too.
Click on the small picture to see a larger version.
The Alliance races were all compared to a normal-sized NPC human. The Horde races were all compared to a normal-sized NPC blood elf. I used a comparison between a tauren and a normal-sized, neutral night elf (a Moonglade NPC) to make sure that the two factions were correctly scaled relative to each other.
Also, I finally managed to update the rest of the Azeroth Beautician's Manual of Feminine Style to include pandaren color and style information.

For Akabeko.
In one farming village, after what even Akabeko could tell was one ale too many for her pandaren companion, Weipon was convinced to break out her sanxian. Although Akabeko often heard Weipon humming or singing to herself, the long-necked instrument had remained in its case, quiet and safe from the elements while they traveled.
Now, though, eyes swimming with drink, Weipon laughed, said something that made the pandaren closest to her gesticulate encouragingly, and plucked a string experimentally. The room quieted as she carefully tuned the instrument. From the bar, a voice called out something that had other pandaren nodding in what Akabeko assumed was agreement.
"They are requesting songs," Weipon said suddenly, looking at Akabeko. The sudden burst of Orcish made the druid jump, sloshing ale over her fingers. "Some of the titles sound familiar. Others may be songs I know by a different name." She grinned, looking like a very different pandaren than the one that had shied away from an angry General Nazgrim, and began to play.
The gathered audience was mostly silent for the first verse. The pandaren nodded their heads, clapped, or turned to each other to whisper excitedly. Akabeko listened with interest, appreciating the sincerity and huskiness of Weipon's voice. By the second verse, the older pandaren in the inn were singing along, ribbing each other when they forgot the words or differed from what Weipon was singing. The song continued, picking up speed, and those who couldn't sing along made up for it by clapping, pounding the tables, and stomping their feet. Even Akabeko found herself humming along by the end.
Before the last note had died away, Weipon was slipping into another song, this one eliciting more cheers of recognition. Akabeko drained her glass, absently thanking the person next to her as they topped it off again. It seemed that the night was just picking up.
The following morning, Weipon still managed to look only slightly rumpled compared to Akabeko, who was more or less wrecked. She rubbed irritably at her temples, trying to pay attention to the new map the innkeeper was explaining to Weipon. The impromptu concert the night before had gained them not only a clean, locally-drawn map of the area, but a handwritten introduction from the village leader to the mayor of Dawn's Blossom, which appeared to be a major nearby city.
The title of this post is a reference to the song of the same name from the Brubeck/Armstrong collaboration "The Real Ambassadors", in which, after a chorus by the state department ambassador characters, Louis Armstrong's character, a jazz musician, sings:
I'm the real ambassador.
It is evident I was sent by government to take your place.
All I do is play the blues and meet the people face-to-face.
I'll explain and make it plain, I represent the human race.
I don't pretend no more.

Physically, the towering personage who seemed to be the leader of the strange beings camped around the hermit Wei Palerage's hut reminded Kaoling very strongly of Wugou. He had nothing of the ancient earth spirit's sleepy, placid nature about him, however. As the — tauren, Kaoling remembered from her childhood lessons — briskly described to Ji, Aysa, Kaoling, Koralyra, and the others who had come from the Academy and the Temple the circumstances that had led to the crash of the sky-vessel into Shen-zin Su's side — a battle of ships off an unknown coast, the capture of himself and his "Horde" companions by their "Alliance" enemies after their ship capsized, an insurrection against their captors, an attack by lizard-men who had stowed away on the airship that took everyone by surprise — and his efforts to locate his comrades and survive in the Pei-Wu Forest over the past weeks, he was also listening to reports from his people and issuing new instructions. The tauren's decisiveness impressed Kaoling, as did the shelters, the pile of crude weapons, and what appeared to be the skeletons of several small boats he and his people had constructed from broken bamboo trunks and other woodland materials.
Aysa and some of the others left to find the survivors from the other side of the sea-battle the tauren had described as soon as he had finished telling them about why the airship had crashed.
"We want to return to our homes," the tauren was saying, "but that airship isn't going anywhere ever again. We can help you dislodge it from your island, but we need to find our engineer. He parted ways with us when we were escaping the wreckage. We'd also appreciate it if you helped us find a way back to our own country."
Ji quickly agreed, and Kaoling could see the twinkle in his eyes that meant he was thinking up a Plan.
They found more small groups of "Horde" survivors, including the engineer, as they pushed through the woods toward the crashed airship. They also discovered that the strange lizard-men had survived the crash, too, and were wreaking havoc on the entire Pei-Wu Forest ecosystem.
The "Alliance" survivors had gathered and set up tents quite close to the wreck. Their leader, a slender creature who looked to Kaoling very much like an oversized, oddly-colored sprite, gave a rather different account of the sea battle, the fight aboard the airship, and the crash.
"This island wasn't on any of our charts… we came through a thick mist and ploughed straight into the forest. We didn't see it coming," she said.
She explained that over the past weeks, she and her people had been scavenging as much as they could from the wreck, but their efforts had been severely impeded by the lizard-men. She praised Aysa for having gone off immediately to distract the leader of the lizard-men so that a final collection of materials from the airship could be made, and she asked for help in reclaiming the supplies and rescuing those of her people who had been wounded during the most recent clashes with the lizard-men.
"I think I like these people," Koralyra mused quietly as the two girls carried a stack of crates back from the wreck to the tents. "See how they have gotten all of their people into one place. See how they are salvaging as much of their own material as they can, so that they take as little as possible from our land."
"But they had taken those other people prisoners," Kaoling replied.
"Their ship was sinking. They saved them from drowning. And it doesn't seem like they've made much of an effort, in all these weeks, to go find them in the forest and re-capture them," Kora pointed out.
Kaoling didn't have a good answer for that, but she still felt more sympathetic toward the tauren and his fellow Horde.
The blast knocked Kora to the ground. The land heaved beneath her as Shen-zin Su groaned in agony. It was the most awful sound she had ever heard, worse than a whole herd — worse than ten herds — of yaks in labor. She struggled to her feet. The wound in Shen-zin Su's shell gushed terrible rivers of blood. Though she was not at all squeamish, Kora began to feel a little light-headed and quickly looked away. Nearby, Kaoling was getting up. Kora saw her friend sway and her face pale as she caught sight of the awful wound. Quickly, Kora grabbed Kaoling's shoulders and turned her away.
"Remember Master Firepaw's plan," she said urgently. "Hurry, go find as many healers as you can and bring them here to save Shen-zin Su!" Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a movement — the strange lizard-men, maddened by the scent of blood. "I will stay and defend the healers once you get them here. Hurry!"
Kaoling nodded and dashed off. Kora settled into a comfortable stance and began running through warm-up movements and incantations. Soon Kaoling was back, carrying one of the slender, white-robed Alliance priests over her shoulders. Like the wind and fire of the philosophy she favored, Kaoling darted about, bringing back one healer after another. Like the earth and water of the philosophy she favored, Koralyra was both firm and fluid as she fought off the frenzied lizard-men and kept them from attacking the healers. All around, others from the Academy and the Temple were doing the same.
For hours, it seemed, they fought while the terrible flow of blood continued and Shen-zin Su groaned and writhed. The healers poured all of their energy into their spells, until they began to collapse from exhaustion. Slowly, the torrent quieted to a stream and then to a trickle, and then, almost suddenly, the wound sealed. The troll and tauren healers joined their hands in a great spell, and everyone stumbled as earth shifted out from under their feet to cover and protect the raw flesh. The Horde healers then flung enchanted seeds over the dark, bloodsoaked soil. As they chanted, grasses, bushes, and trees sprung up, magically, to further stabilize the earthen scab. It would still be centuries before Shen-zin Su's shell completely recovered — and there would always be a scar, a weak spot, in that place — but for now, at least, he would not die, and his pain, while perhaps greater now than it had been when the wrecked ship had still been embedded in his side, would eventually subside and vanish.
For a fleeting moment, the scent of the breeze shifted from canal water and pumpkin pancakes to cherry blossoms and ginseng tea, and a piece of parchment hastily folded into the shape of a crane tumbled through the second-story window of the inn in Stormwind where Koralyra was packing her bags and came to rest at her feet.
Kora picked up the parchment and carefully unfolded it, smiling as she recognized the calligraphic scrawl.
I promised to write to you when I got to Orgrimmar, did I not? The
EmperorWarchief of the Horde would consider even this contact treasonous, yet I cannot so blithely cast aside what Master Shang Xi told us so many times: "Forget injuries. Never forget kindnesses." And you have been far kinder to me than I deserved. May your days bring you joy.

Though she had heard the tale of Liu Lang and the story about his umbrella and the Wood of Staves all her life, Kaoling had never really expected to ever set foot in that mystical place herself. She would have imagined even less that she might do so in company with all the monks and students from the Academy, but for some reason, it had seemed vitally important to Master Shang Xi that they all attend his final meditation. As the aged Master simply faded away and his charm-bedecked staff burst into bloom, Kaoling glanced, through her tears, at Koralyra and was a bit surprised to see that the other girl was also crying. Cool, emotionless Kora was actually crying. On a sudden impulse, Kaoling put her arm around Kora's shoulders. The other girl covered her face with her hands and cried even harder for a minute or so. Then she wiped her eyes with the back of her paws and stood, pulling Kaoling up with her.
"Let's go, Kaoling," she said, "We've got to finish the task Master Shang Xi has set us. Let's go find Master Firepaw and Master Cloudsinger at the balloon platform and see if Shen-zin Su will speak to us."
Kora's emotions roiled like a pot of her mother's sweet-and-sour soup. Exhilaration from the soaring balloon ride, awe at the privilege of actually speaking with Shen-zin Su, horror at the huge airship embedded in the great turtle's side, curiosity about the strange beings in and around the wrecked vessel, grief at the passing of Master Shang Xi. It was almost too much to bear, so she merely stood, staring blankly ahead at the statue of Liu Lang, barely listening as Master Firepaw and Master Cloudsinger reported their conversation with Shen-zin Su to Elder Shaopai.
"And you, Koralyra, Kaoling," Elder Shaopai suddenly addressed them, "Master Shang Xi thought very highly of you indeed. What do you think we should do?"
"I think that the sky has gotten dark," Kaoling answered, "and the stars are shining, and whatever we must do to cure Shen-zin Su, it will take great effort. I think we should rest and make plans in the morning."
Master Firepaw and Master Cloudsinger's faces displayed identical expressions of mingled approval and dismay as Kaoling bowed to each of them and to Elder Shaopai, then turned to leave the Temple of Five Dawns.
"Come on, Kora," she said, tugging at Kora's hand, "my parents live just down the hill. My father makes the best steamed buns in all Mandori Village, and I'm sure we can find a couch for you somewhere in the house."

The ultimate way to determine collectable minifig pack contentsPosted by Huw,
I received an email from tayweijin in Australia today. It seems that the figs are becoming available around the world now, although none yet in the UK. He confirmed that the box contents are as follows, based on analysis of 2 boxes:
- 5 per case - Sumo Wrestler, Alien, Mummy, Race Car Driver
- 4 per case - Pilot, Samurai, Gorilla, Baseball Player, Tennis Player
- 3 per case - Indian, Elf Bowman, Cyborg, Rapper, SnowBoarder, Hula Girl
- 2 per case - Fisherman
What really made me chuckle was how he found out: "I used a dental digital X-Ray to confirm the packs - I work in a dental surgery so was fortunate to be able to use this method." That has to be the ultimate way to find out what's inside! Shame there's not a portable x-ray machine you can take into TRU with you :-)
He goes on to say "The crib sheet is very unreliable - the heights of the 'raised dots' are not always consistent, and sometimes there are 'glue tracks' going across the same areas as the 'raised dots'. Some 'dots' are also extremely faint and ambiguous."
How have you found the dots? Are they readable in the shop?

I had a hard time telling what was in the ONE S3 pack I was able to get my hands on. I didn't care what it was since it was the first one I bought and want to get them all...but I still couldn't decifer the bumps. Definitely much harder than the previous 2 series to tell what you have.
I've purchased 11 thus far. Of those, I was only off on one (but it was still one I didn't have yet). It's easier if you have a number of them and can compare them, because it is hard to tell bumps from the texture of the package's heat sealing, but it can be done and if you can find several that are the same eventually you'll start to see the pattern. The previous series were easier, but so far I haven't bought a duplicate yet.
The bumps work, to a certain degree. Some look very much like others, and some are very inconsistent. The baseball player is VERY easy to discern. On the other hand, and unfortunately, the elf is hit and miss.
I found that it was very easy to complete the set-- but moving forward from there, it's not as easy as I'd like to pick out the multiples that I want more of. I tried to get a gorilla last week but instead came home with another space villain.
Good luck to everyone in Europe
oh no, I don't want an army of racecar drivers :S
I've found the dots to be bleeping useless personally. Did better feeling up the bags (and faster).
My dreams of owning a super hero sports team...may be crushed
I also used an X-Ray unit to ID the figs (while many of the packs were easy to read the dots, there were many packs where the dots were just too ambiguous). Since my machine isn't portable, I had to purchase large quantities of figs (BOGO 50% off at TRU), X-ray the questionable packs, then return what I didn't need. I was able to put together 4 complete, sealed sets (2 for my kids, 2 for me). While this method isn't practicle for most people, it will come in handy if there are no dots for series 4! (It would also be great if they start inserting rare, specialty figs like they do with sports trading cards).
i was not so successful with the dots in store. so just used the feel it method. only off on 2.
I haven't even seen any in southern California so i hope i can get some soon
The dots are good, but not as easy as the barcodes. You need to spend MUCH more time with each figure analyzing the TRUE dots from the FAKE dots (air bubbles). My suggestion is to grab a box, and spend some time if you have it. Otherwise you grab the box, take it home, and return what you don't want or just grab a handful and hope for the best, like the kids do! Cheers.
Everyday on my way to school, I look into the window of my local WHSmith to see if they've got the new figs. They always keep the boxes in the same place on a cabinet behind the counter. No luck so far :(
Does anyone who owns the gorilla figure know what the face is underneath?
Grabbed 9 the other day and examined the dots in store to make sure they were all different figs since I didn't have my cheat sheet. In my car, I proceeded to open them and to my horror, I got 4 Pilots. So yeah, just relying on the dots didn't work out too well for me.
i got 17 minifigs of bricklink, and i was able to identify the rapper using the dot codes, but by feeling them all i knew exactly which ones i got.
With the first crib sheet I had a very hard time instore and the salespeople would not let me feel the bags and the limit per person was 2. I got 2 and after feeling them in the car found out they were a inidian and a samurai, i wanted an elf and a gorilla suit guy. I have the updated crib sheet but haven't been back to a TRU to try again.
Some dots are easy to read but i think feeling is better, but x-rays are definitely the BEST :)
Anyone seen any in Target, Walmart, Borders????
It's a dificult task now! I use the cribs to get an idea (because the dots ARE UNRELIABLE) then its using your fingers to feel the pieces inside. Sumo is hardes because you only have the hair to tell it apart. Cheif is easy because of the head, dress. Hula=shakers. Poilet=Backpack. Fisherman=fishing pole. Samuari=Sword. Snowboarder=Snowboard. Rapper=Mike. Alian=Head. Tennis Player=Raquet. Racecar Dricer=Helmet. Baseball Player=Bat. Mummy=Scorpin. Cyborg=Legs. Takes time though! Think I need to see the dentist!
I must say, LEGO really thought this braille thing through very well, and unless series 4+ packets are of higher quality/more consitant, I don't see them changing it. Doesn't affect me at all anyway, I never had a mobile phone.
Voyanui8768: It's a guy frowning and sweating.
I gotta tell you. An adult male feeling up a bag of lego in a toy store is a very humiliating experience. If Lego's intent was to humiliate the masses into limiting their consumption, it worked like a charm. Spent an hour looking for an elf to finish my set. You should have seen the christmas moms like "WTH old man"? I gave up, i ended up buying 10 packs, got the elf and now I have 5 cyborgs that will find their way into the bottom of a minifig spare parts bin. No more conspicuous consumption for me...
can you post the images of the x-rays???
copperwonder96 Trust me, it's even worse for an older teenage boy!
I recommend cozying up to the dental profession as well. The dots are difficult to figure out. I just visited a TRU. found new box and three elfs, my three boys are happy. Thought I had two samuari but really opened up two tennis players in the car. This particular TRU has a strict five per visit policy and wearing my Army uniform, and sitting at the customer service desk for 15 minutes kind of limits my ability to run back in. I just let out a big hurumph and will paitently await Walmart getting their batch soon.
As a castle collector, tennis players are sadly not very flexible into castle world. If I cant trade for an elf, Native American Chief, Samuari, Spartan, Pharroh, forrestman, ninja, native american warrior or even a nurse, for my wife that just got her RN degree last night.
I was able to get the baseball player easily by feeling the package. I am having a really hard time locating a gorilla. The bumps on a brand new just opened box aren't even close to the updated crib sheet for the gorilla unless I am missing something. After all it is 4am when I am on lunch break at TRU where I work so sleep deprivation could be kicking in. My fellow coworkers stare at me feeling up the bags but none have said anything. The feeling method does work better than scanning the bumps. I could have had a tennis player, hula girl, rapper, samurai, Indian chief, lots of cyborgs and or aliens, but still can't feel for the banana. Anyone else having trouble or have suggestions how to locate a gorilla? In an unopened box are the figures in the same place left, center, right consistently?
^ try feeling for a smooth minifig head, that feels like a bigger skier hat.
shootvolio, best method for the gorilla was to find the banana. Find that and kinda isolate it at a corner. From there you can push down on the wrapper and see the outline of it.
ltc don I will trade 1 samurai for 1 ninja but I am in the UK.
Did tayweijin say where he purchased the series 3, as this is the first mention I am aware of of the series 3 being available in Australia?
I found the dots to be hit and miss. A few of the configurations were really easy to spot, but mostly I found it much easier and quicker to just feel the bags. My sympathies to those whose retailers won't let you feel the bag.
My experience is that the bumps are extremely difficult to read. I was able to get an elf by feel only, it I had gone off the dots, I would have assumed it was the race car driver to tennis player, it appeared to have 4 dots, two on each side. I do not recommend trusting the dots alone.
I got two (mummy and pilot) today at my local Toys R Us and I must say that the bumps are very hard to read. Feeling for the bumps didn't help and looking wasn't much easier. I guess that when they come to the LEGO stores in January, I'll have to test my luck more than anything else and hope I don't get the space alien.
@voyanui8768 - there is a picture on bricklink: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3626bpb516
I first use the dots then feel the bags to confirm. If I don't feel a majorly noticeable part from my guess, I check the dots again. If I do feel something noticeable from a different figure than I had expected, I check the dots of the figure I think I feel. :)
First of all I am happy to know that I was not alone in feeling up all of those packages...on another note I was quickly hired by the TSA after identifying all 16 minifigs without any duplicates. The cheat sheets aren't worth it. I didn't use the barcodes from series 1 and 2 either. Just isolate the accessories. The accessories are all very distinct and have ridges and such that help identify parts from one another. For example a microphone verses a maraca. The banana for the ape is the only tricky one. You may think you found the banana but it could be a gun from either the alien or cyborg. When you think you have the banana feel the rest of the package to make sure its not a gun.
Where in Australia have these been sighted.
That's classic! When we did our review, these are the same numbers we came up with. That fisherman is the rarest and in my opinion the best one go get.
At one of my local TRUs, I found 2 nearly full cases of series 3 figs. I had the crib sheet with me, and I found it hard to use it to ID the figs. However, I found the dot patterns were a very good way of confirming an ID gained using the bag feel method. I got 7, and I saved 5 for christmas and opened two that day. I wanted an elf an a fisherman, ang got BOTH (they are awesome). I am also 95% sure about the others I got, but I will find out on the morning of the 25th.
I must admit, the x-ray method was pure genius.
While searching through the box, I too noticed fewer elves and fishermen. The lack of elves could be explained away by a diehard Tolkein fan beating me to the boxes, but I only found 2 fishermen in the box I was looking through.
Spotted them at a Meijer's. Used the crib sheet to estimate what it was (some looked quite similar) Then felt in the package to tell for sure. Got 2 samurai's this way (what I wanted)
I found them at the Chicago TRU but only used the cheat sheet to get me an Elf since they were $4. The sheet worked but I will be doing the bulk of my minifigure buying when they get to the Lego Stores.
I am glad that there are now slightly irradiated packs of minis floating around..
Good thing we are using X-ray machines for something like this, I mean who has time to actually use X-ray machines for health care purposes and adhering to federal guidelines...
Anyways I have found a new use for my 5 dollar off coupons for TRU, use them to buy 5 packs of minis and basically get them for 2.99 (I had two coupons to use for TRU so far, another two that activate on 1/1/11)
Although my 'just pick' luck (sorry, I kinda feel uncomfortable standing at a TRU service desk feeling up all of the packs) fell a bit short I think I have a rapper, hula girl, a race car driver, two baseball players (ugh) and Tennis player, 2 aliens, and Samurai, and one I cannot figure out.
I broke down and bought two fisherman off of eBay that were opened for 5 a piece, no biggie since I was going to open one for a set and my gf was as well. Since I had a coupon for 10 dollars off an eBay purchase via paypal I basically paid for one minifig(the cost of shipping)
I've found the dimple patterns to be relatively easy to identify for most of the figures. Of 27 figures identified and purchased, I was only wrong on one, but fortunately, that one turned out to be the rare fisherman whereas I interpreted it as an elf.
I have mentioned this before... ultrasound machine. I nearly bought one this weekend at a university auction, could have bought it for $160-$180 .
All I really wanted was the Elf and I felt up the packs in TRU for the bow and came out with 4.
How does one go about buying an unopened case from TRU in the US? Will they get one out of the back for you?
I have found some inconsistencies with the location of the dimples (dots) on the packaging. One whole box at a local TRU had the dots across the middle of most/all of the package and was not usable to distinguish the contents inside. Thankfully most of the other series 3 boxes I have seen were easier to use the cheat sheet on and I currently have 13 of the 16 figures ( 3 duplicates - samurai, cyborg and tennis pro).
TRU had three full cases and I was able to pick out the four different ones I wanted without having to feel the bags. I'd say the dots work pretty well.
So, the boxes have died out around me in the US. does anyone know when a second wave will be coming?
Also, Has anyone seen any at Target or Borders?
"copperwonder96 Trust me, it's even worse for an older teenage boy!"
I feel your pain :) But, I got an elf! No fisherman though, the TRU where I'm at is horrible because they only get one shipment of the figs (one or two boxes) and they sold out within a few days. So I don't have another chance to go to TRU again for the 1/30 probability of getting a fisherman :)
Also, the dots are horrible, the cheat sheet only helped to a certain extent. Lego's marketing idea on these were not very good either, they are making it a back-stabbing challenge just to find one [or several] mere fig(s)! They should look into this more... I understand them trying to make this a challenge/marketing strategy but they should really make it simpler. I hope the "dots" are not going to be in series 4+.
Another note, two fisherman to a BOX! Really!
Have these been found in ANY Lego store? How about the West Coast Lego Stores since the West Coast is where they seem to have started?
I'm shocked that Lego doesn't want first crack at selling these and places like TRU and other outlets have them already. Also is it confirmed that the Lego Store has raised its price to $2.99 or is that speculation?
I bought a handful at TRU but the $3.99 price is REALLY lame!
I'm waiting for Series 3 to come to Target or other store since I don't have a Fred Meyer, Meijer or LEGO store near me. I'm done with TRU's over-MSRP markups.
This would be helpful...but in the meantime I just feel the bags I have everyone except the fisherman. If anyone is willing to trade I have 1 extra Hula Dancer .........
I guess I'm out on that island with Captain Blockbeard because I've found the dimples to be pretty easy to identify for almost all of the figs. :o) It definitely takes a little getting used to and it can be made more difficult by random artifacts, lighting, etc. Since I didn't have a smartphone for S1 and S2, I had to learn to read the barcodes on sight and I got pretty good at it. In my opinion, it's not much different reading the dimples. But as I've noted below, the Pilot and Fisherman are definitely difficult. For those of you without X-Ray machines, I definitely recommend you don't get frustrated. :o) I think it gets easier the more boxes you browse and it looks like we're going to get inundated with S3 so you'll have plenty of chances!
My Dad today went to LegoLand California and asked about the whereabouts of Series 3 ... They said January 2011 ...AND that the packs have indeed been raised to 2.99 ... 2.99!?! Those mjyer or whatever stores seem to been the only place to sell 1.99 packs. Oh well... maybe they'll go down... or not...maybe...hopefully...
I find for the most part that the dots are far easier than the others. Having to use a barcode scanner and stand there with the phone takes more time and wastes battery.
There are times when it is difficult and ambiguous, but for the most part you can get close at least with the dots even with the package abnormalities and then feel the package for the telltale bits to be sure.
The fisherman, elf, and chief I think are the easiest to find because the bow and shield are easy to feel, as well as the spear and fishing pole, and neither feels the same. The spear has the bendy tip and the fishing pole has the big part to hold the reel. The samurai is also easy since the sword is long and you can feel the hilt.
I find using a combination of dots and feeling the bits to be really efficient and reliable for a good number of the figures. I stumbled onto 6 boxes at the store the other day (an oddity because this store has never had more than 2 at once) and was able to walk away after just 15 minutes or so with 7 figures, all elves, fisherman, and samurai. I'm sure I missed some but I was rushing a bit and I don't want to pick all the good ones and leave nothing left out of 6 boxes anyway. If you zero in on the dot features that are unique (like the elf package has a predator cluster on the left) and then quickly feel you can be pretty sure of what you have and separate the junk from what you want.
@atmail: I was thinking about this and there is probably some deal worked out to keep distribution out of the lego stores and lego.com for a while to give the other retail outlets a chance.
At my local toysrus I got 12 of them because they were the last ones. Obviously no one likes the snowboarder and they were picked through well because I got all 3 snowboarders in the box. I found that the "bumps" were not very helpful and sometimes obscured. :o(
I found about 2 boxes at TRU. I only bought 8 b/c I was annoyed at the price....it was very frustrating to pay $32 for 1/2 a set vs $16 for a full set of both S1 and S2. I did manage to use the dots to help confirm which ones I was getting. So a combo of feeling the pieces (especially accessories) and the dot configuration worked out well. I was never really able to scan the barcodes w/ my smartphone. It was easier to try and "read" the bar code for me than scanning them as my phone does not seem to scan well.
I managed to get 1 fisherman and 1 hula girl for my daughter. She was thrilled. We shall see what the other 6 bring. If they are $2.99 (at Lego) or $3.99 (at TRU/Borders), I'm going to try and just get a full set for us and maybe a few extras of our favorites.
@Stash, you are probably correct. However I do think that Lego is missing an opportunity since they are great stocking stuffers. But they might be worried that people will be angry if the price goes up to $2.99, perhaps they want to deal with that after the holiday season. I wish I had Fred Meyer or Meijer around here since those prices are looking good. Happy hunting!
if they are $2.99 us, they will be $3.99 can! tru's in calgary still have them marked as 2.99 on there system, but i don't think that that will last long.
@pedrocastro2005 - Yes I can. I still got some of the X-Ray images saved on my work computer at the dental surgery. I'll try transfer a few examples here next week.
For those who have access to a digital dental X-Ray, there's an important thing to note. Because the dimension of a typical dental X-Ray is quite small (about 1.5" x 1.0"), you would have to try and 'seperate' with your fingers the MiniFig baseplate and 'guide' all the smaller pieces to a corner of the pack and take the X-Ray there.
And obviously, make sure you're not taking the X-Ray in the same room due to the irradiation! (I used about 45 shots all together for a box of 60 - the other 15, I was 100% confident with the 'bumps', and be 'feeling).
@fredfred - No - it's not out in Australia yet. My enquiries is that Toys'R'Us will 'probably' start stocking them sometime Mid-End Jan 2011. I cheated and got my 2 boxes from a BrickLink store in the States for ~$3.10 AUD / pack =)
Spoke to my local Mr Toys today and they are expecting the figures in January, couldn't give me any better than that.
Just a thought on the price increase (and we will find out when these things hit Aust and Europe) but there may be a price rise for the US on the back of a weaker US$.
Just found three searched through cases at my local Silicon Valley, CA TRU. They had a price hike to 3.99. Along with a few others, I managed to buy three elves. Missing some, but that was done on purpose, I won't be buying anymore, not at that price. I'll wait till the Lego store or Walmart to complete my collection. The dots were extremely difficult to read, so I used the feel method instead.
On a different note, this leaves me with more disappointment in their customer service. Just yesterday I called, the lady from TRU said the item was "discontinued". Then I asked for Ninjago, and she said something about individual figs, and went to check instore. I was put on hold, then answered by another associate, who told me they had 18, which apparently wasn't found instore. He told me shipments arrived on Friday, but when I went, as said, there were three cases. Quite odd.
The Lego Store calander has a date marked on when the figures will come
The bumps worked fairly well for me.
While I like the novelty of the rare figs, unknown figs, look what has occurred:
- Fighting for the figs
- Camping out of the store to be the first to see if they are in the store
- using xray machines to see what is inside the package
- Dealing with stores prices increase.
Lego took two suggestions that many had to try to stop someone from grabbing every Spartan, Zombie, or now Elf in a box...
- To make more
- To make them more expensive.
Lego went the extra mile of making them impossible to tell what is in the pack (at least mostly without sitting there for an hour feeling every pack, or looking at every bump, using an ultrasound machine, or mis-appropriating x-ray machines to view inside of the packs, which is probably the most dangerous of all techniques)
I think Lego really needs to take the next step, which is make them all the same rarity in the box, and make the packages see through ... I mean it is utterly ridiculous of what people are going through to find ones they either need to complete, want to sell on eBay--err I mean what for their 'families', and ones that people unapologetic-ally buy to sell on eBay (Thankfully the last one I think was removed with the 2.99 pricing) Especially since it is clear that those who will still sit there for an hour, feel packs, and pluck as many Elves as they can find anyway, or fisherman, making it harder for the everyday person to complete a set. Either make them all the same rarity and put a window in the pack, OR make then have a production run of at least a year so you can keep buying them occasionally to look for the ones you need to complete the set. OR Lego should just sell a 16 fig set for 60 bucks to those that want one. That way people can get a set of these if they want, AND Lego can make even more money by increase the cost of one set.
So, I just wanted to make one comment. They do make portable ultra-sound machines ... Let me know if anyone tries this. I could use a good laugh!
For those who are interested -
@madforlegos - I would probably agree with most of what you've said, namely the fact that Lego made the point of selling these MiniFigures as a 'mystery' pack, and ergo, causing those so-called 'negative' impacts on other buyers.
But I would like to add that I don't think its all bad. I look at it in the way of all the tremendous hype and publicity it has caused. Also the fact that people passionate about Lego all around the world are getting together and discussing it on forums. It IS certainly controversial, contentious AND exciting.
I would also add that in a way, after reading all these articles on BrickSet pertaining to the MiniFigures, it seperates the 'hardcore' and more passionate Lego fans to 'less-hardcore' fans. Some people are just more willing to go the extra lengths (or for some would think 'ridiculous' lengths) and spend the extra money to collect what they want - I don't believe anyone should critisize others for their dogged and fervent approach to their hobby. And if as a result, it causes those types of negative impacts you listed, well... then that's just the way it is.
Btw, I agree with you on using the X-Rays. I would clarify though, that the Digital X-Ray I used is from my own dental surgery. And obviously, when using equipment like this, safety precautions of irradiation is mandatory. So I did not suggest this idea to encourage readers to pursue this method flippantly. I posted it rather just to share my thoughts with the community. If you do want to try this method though, you can try ask your local friendly dentist or maybe even your postal office!
PS I am annoyed though that Lego decided just to provide 2 Fisherman Figs in each box of 60! (a blatant decision to increase the difficulty of achieving a full set!). Previously I think, a box of Series I and II provided 3 complete set of 16 and extras.
man..... series 3 is AWESOME. ill get a box in january..... or on xmas..... ;•)
Worfe1979 - Maybe I am just easily entertained but I think the X-Ray pics are awesome, I would love to see one of the more accessorized figs that has been assembled, based on your post though, it sounds like doing a full fig would be difficult if not impossible due to size restrictions. Very cool all the same.
@Worfe1979... yes, I'm annoyed too about just being able to get 2 full sets from a sealed box. I'm pretty sure that's LEGO's way of combating 3 people sharing the cost on a $120.00 box.
If these wernt in packages, SOME PEOPLE would scoop up all the elves and nobody else would get any.
@Carnegiee77 - Thats exactly true.
BUT, question is, do you or anyone have the right to critisize or blame those people?
IMO, I would think not. These people are obviously very passionate and ardent to collecting / buying their Legos. If they want 100 elves for their elven army, thats their own choice. If they want 10 pristine unopened complete sets to hoard and store, thats their own choice. They have probably done their homework and research on buying and locating these early, and willing to spend the money on it. It's their time, their money, and their passion. Anyway, thats my 2 cents.
@Worfe1979 - thanks for posting those images; they're fascinating! :-)
Honestly, i found it much easier to feel through the bags for accessories, that only were with a certain figure, and yes, the glue adhesive definetly made it much much more difficult to find out which figure it is.
@Wolfe1979 Im sorry, I didnt mean to critisize. I wanted to do the same thing with Spartans.
Hello all, I have had a super hard time finding these figures. Never seen any at a TRU or Target. I bought one at the Lego Store in Downtown Disney, last one they had and it was the lion tamer. Today at an Urban Outfitters I got the Mexican guy and the Jungle explorer. Each were $5. Pretty crazy but if Target is up to $4 then it isn't that much more. Wish I had been able to find a couple series 1. I happen to be a radiologic technologist and if I had a whole box I could probably get it in two radiographic (xray) images. Tonight I verified the correct bar code from 3 different sources on the web. So tomorrow I will go and get a couple that I want. No hoarding here.
Being a fact of LEGO products, they always go up in price on eBay (generally). These will jump and not sell or be way overpriced. The best way of preventing this huge rise is to manufacture sets with these accessories/minifigures. I think this would be the best way to prevent overpriced after-market items. Not to mention the killing places like TRU are making from the double, or possibly more than double off these things. Are we, the consumers, to put up with these marked-up minifigures or pay the after market prices? Just a thought. Maybe put them in a case at some counter pre-opened and make a limit on the amount you can buy at one time of each to solve these problems and increase/decrease prices according to the 'in-demand' figures. In my opinion, this would solve most of the reseller problem and pricing on the 'bad' figures.
We bought sixteen packages and managed to get a complete set of sixteen figures. My wife had luck with the dots, but I quickly gave up and just felt for accessories. I also checked my wife's predictions; she was right now each time and probably identified at least ten.
The most difficult to feel for is probably the race car driver because he has no extra or unique element. I was hoping that I didn't miss a piece in the package that I thought was him. Also, I could not make contact with the fisherman's fish worth anything. I was sure that I was feeling the fishing rod, but I wanted to make contact with the fish to be sure that I was feeling the fishing rod. Luckily, I was indeed feeling the rod and when opening the package that I had thought was the fisherman, the fish was the first thing to fall out.
At home I tried to re-identify each page before we opened them, and I was certain we had not bought the snowboarder, which I felt was odd because I knew that I had felt the snowboard at the store. We also had what I was identifying as two race car drivers leaving us missing the snowboarder. When my wife open what I had identified as the "gorilla suit man" (I love the sweat on his face), a snowboard fell out. When we opened the last two bags one of the "race car drivers" turned out to be the gorilla suit man and the other was indeed a race car driver.
I was pretty relieved because my wife let me buy these at Toys R (Marked-Up by) Us at $3.99 per figure. There are only two stores in our area that stock the mini-figures, and I think I missed them at Boscov's so I spend double the price on these bad boys. I do love them though, so I guess it was worth it. I guess...
Perhaps this has been discussed before, but I wonder if the reason there are only 2 fishmen per box is because the fisherman has the most # of elements with 8? 1) legs, 2) torso, 3) head, 4) beard, 5)hat, 6)fishing pole, 7) fish, 8)base AND it includes two more complex elements such as the fishing pole and fish?
And 5 sumo wrestlers since there are only 6 elements? 1) legs, 2) torso, 3) head, 4)hair, 5) trophy, 6) base
as with the race car driver with 5 elements? 1) legs, 2) torso, 3) head, 4) helmet 5) base
saw 4 boxes of series 3 at my local walmart. they were the normal boxes and not the funky ones they had for series 2. they were $2.97 a pack and looked like they been picked thru - salem oregon
@RotsiserMho - Yes, at my TRU here in Florida. I didn't see any figures out on the shelves, so I asked an employee if they had any cases in the back. After several minutes of searching, he returned with two unopened cases. I opened one, and purchased the figures that I wanted. I was very tempted to buy an entire box and sell them, but I decided not to get greedy. ;)
My girlfriend helped me find about half of the set, using the crib sheet. I'll save the rest of the figures for when they arrive at Wal Mart. I can't afford to buy all of them at the price of $3.99.
I have tried to read the dots to no avail. They were much easier to figure out by feel. My friend and I got all of them right except 1 by feeling. So I think that the dots are a waste of time and that feeling works much better.

The secret of life
The Secret of Life - Alan Watts

Imagine - John Lennon
So many crazy things happening in this world.
Philippine politics continues to be a circus and I'm starting to wonder if we ever knew what we were doing. Maybe it's time to go back to the tribal wisdom and have a council of elders who genuinely have the concern of the whole tribe in mind.
In the Middle East, even in our very own Mindanao, there threads a fine line between fighting for your beliefs to fighting for the sake of fighting.
When I was 8 years old, I only asked for one thing every Christmas time: world peace.
At 8 years old, I decided it was foolish to keep asking for something that will never happen. And that was the last Christmas I stopped wishing for it.
Well, I'm 36 years old. And, inside, I still feel as lost and helpless as when I was 8 years old.
I still can't do much. But I haven't let the cynicism of adulthood affect me so much so that I can't go back to being 8 years old and wishing for the one thing I stopped wishing for.
Maybe this time, we should focus all our thoughts, prayers, and beliefs into what the world needs the most.
Peace comes at a price. It demands love, patience, tolerance, respect, gratitude, and letting go and letting God.
It's not an easy task. How many of our days are wasted on thoughts of self-pity, complaining, anger, resentment, jealousy, petty arguments, and just a general dissatisfaction with everything in life?
Let's just stop. Breathe a moment. And look at the world through heaven's eyes.
And close our eyes and just summon as much light, love, and thoughts of peace as we can muster.
Lift it up to God, to the universe.
Maybe Michael Jackson was indeed right after all. Maybe it starts with the man in the mirror.
If every person woke up in the morning and knew that the man in the mirror is filled with love, peace, and light, maybe, just maybe, there is still hope for all of us after all.
Love, peace, and light to all of you.
The way he makes her laugh and then they kiss at the very end... So cute. :)

Nearly 39 gigawatts of new solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation capacity was installed worldwide in 2013, a 38 percent year-over-year increase. That brought the amount of solar power generation capacity installed worldwide as of end of last year to 140.6 GW, up from 101.9 GW in 2012, according to Hanergy Energy Holding Group and China New Energy Chamber of Commerce's Global Renewable Energy Report 2014.
Hanergy and CNECC's 2014 report shows a dramatic shift in the geography of solar power deployment last year, illustrating that installations in China, and the Asia-Pacific region more broadly, far outpaced those of Germany and Europe, as well as those for the U.S. and the Americas region.
While Germany and Europe have been scaling back government incentives to install solar and renewable energy systems, Japan instituted a generous solar energy feed-in tariff (FiT) in July 2012 in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster. Japan's renewable power generation capacity rose by 5.86 million kilowatts with solar power accounting for 90 percent of the total, according to a Japan Times news report. That's equal to the cumulative total in Japan prior to the launch of the solar FiT.
For its part, China has upped national strategic targets for new solar power generation capacity and has been reinforcing that with market-based incentives, focusing particularly on trying to stimulate uptake in the residential sector. Responding to growing public discontent, as well as the rapidly rising social, environmental and economic costs of its dependence on fossil fuels, China's government is experimenting with solar and renewable energy FiTs and cap-and-trade markets. It's also providing consumers incentives to purchase plug-in electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles (PEVs and FCEVs).Click to continue reading »

The people are fantastic - hard working but also a lot of fun. It's a big start-up - which means a lot of rolling up the sleeves to get work done, but also a lot of opportunity to contribute at every level. The emphasis on health is nice, although a bit extreme at times, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! I think the company and its leaders are always striving to do the right thing for its customers and its employees - what a lot of people may not understand, especially those with little working experience, is how difficult (and at times conflicting) it can be to grow a company, maintain competitiveness, meet board expectations, and keep the culture thriving. If you can ride the wave here, it's an amazing experience to be a part of.

SS3: Hide custom pages from CMS tree
13 October 2012 at 2:45am
Hi everyone!
I've created a custom page type following the tutorial which is a holder for various dataobjects, objects in this pages are editable throught a custom admin section made using model admin. So what I'm trying to do right now is to hide the page holders from the tree to avoid confusion in the end users and to avoid implementing another way to manage contents. Is it possibile extending LeftandMain or something like this? I can't find anything in the docs...
Right now I'm going to hide contents using CSS but this solution is not as clean as I would like.
Please help!
Thanks in advance to everyone and sorry for my horrible english

Hi kingsizeslim welcome to the forums,
I agree that filtering out a page from the SiteTree should be easy, but it isn't - and that's probably why noone has answered your post yet...
Setting canView() to return false should, in my opinion, exclude the page from the SiteTree instead of showing a 'forbidden' message (SS3) if you navigate to it.
It might be a good idea to create a ticket for that, see how others think...

Hi Martine,
thanks for your suggestion, it can work, now I'm going to give out a try, for the moment we've bypassed the problem setting "num_childen" to zero to prevent listing on sitetree but it's a little buggy and adds new item when user inserts new pages.
We've modified some rows in the core to fix some problems but in my opinion this feature needs better implementation by SS's team.
Anyway I'm going to open a ticket as you suggested.
Thank you!

AccuVein AV300
When paramedic students are taught how to achieve IV access, theyÌre told to look for a large vein fairly close to the surface of the skin. Seasoned paramedics have learned to "look" with their finger tips, knowing that many patients do not have easily visible large veins.
Graham Medical MegaMover Transport Chair
Moving a patient down stairs and through narrow hallways makes for some interesting challenges, which are compounded when the patient is large or needs to be moved quickly. The MegaMover Transport Chair from Graham Medical is made of strong, non-woven material and is designed to support patients up to 350 lbs.
Regionalized Cardiac Arrest Care
FDNY created a regional protocol for initiating hypothermia on cardiac patients. This article reports initial results as well as lessons learned for EMS systems wanting to initiate similar protocols.
The Electronic Crossroads
ePCR solutions abound, but the key is choosing a system that's NEMSIS-compliant, allowing medical managers to share data across agencies and significantly enhancing analysis and reporting capabilities.
The Value of CPAP
Recent data from the Houston Fire Department suggests that about half the time paramedics use CPAP, they ultimately avoid an intubation.
Critical Changes
Daya and Nakamura review three new enhancements available in the Philips HeartStart MRx monitor-defibrillator: the Acute Coronary Ischemia-Time Insensitive Predictive Instrument (ACI-TIPI), the Thrombolytic Predictive Index (TPI) and Connected Care Data Management solution systems.
Strengthening the Chain of Survival
The cardiac chain of survival depends first and foremost on early CPR, but once EMS professionals arrive, quality measures -- such as real-time feedback and integrated debriefing -- make a vital difference in patient outcomes.
Improvements in training and medical direction—in both prehospital and hospital systems—has allowed technology and advanced medical treatment to rapidly expand in the field, hospitals and EDs. In many instances, innovative prehospital systems and their medical directors are on the front lines leading the charge.
The Most Important Test
The 12-lead ECG is the most important initial test for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Changes have recently been incorporated into the Philips DXL ECG algorithm and the HeartStart MRx monitor/defibrillator that enhance the ECG's ability to detect acute ischemia, AMI & STEMI.

India's monsoon season is off to its weakest start in five years, sparking fears over the potential for drought and increased food prices throughout the country. During the first half of June, cumulative rainfall for India as a whole was 45 percent below average, according to the Ministry of Agriculture's Department of Agriculture and Cooperation; India's Meteorological Department is predicting that total monsoons this season will reach only 93 percent of the long period average.
This piece was originally posted on IFPRI.org
By Rebecca Sullivan
Food price volatility can present problems for an array of stakeholders, including countries managing their export portfolios, commodity traders, and especially farmers, as unpredictable prices may result in variable income and food insecurity.
Quality healthcare plays a crucial role in improving the lives of the poor. In many developing countries, however, high-quality healthcare can be hard to come by.
This is particularly true in India, where public sector medical care is often plagued with high rates of absenteeism and where private sector care is costly and of low quality. As a result, the country's poor populations tend to have a low opinion of medical professionals, leading them to consult unqualified practitioners, or even no one at all, when they are sick.
The last ten years have witnessed incredible economic and agricultural growth in Africa. Between 2000 and 2010, the continent was home to six of the ten fastest-growing economies in the world.
However, can this growth continue in a sustainable, inclusive way?
In developed countries, talk of food safety regulations centers on public health – how to prevent outbreaks of food-borne illness and ensure high quality, nutritious food. For developing countries, though, increasing food safety regulations in food-importing countries can have significant economic implications as well. On the one hand, complying with higher food safety standards can be prohibitively costly, making it difficult for small farmers to access lucrative, high-value markets.

Shift into gear
This model demonstrates the ability to simulate Multibody Dynamics in COMSOL. It comprises a multilink mechanism that is used in an antique automobile as a gearshift lever. It was created out of curiosity to find out how large forces are on the individual components. The model uses flexible parts, i.e. the Structural Mechanics Module was used along with the Multibody Dynamics Module.
Modeling Friction Between Contacting Rings
This is a benchmark model involving stick-slip friction of a ring rolling inside another ring. The displacement of the inner ring is computed and compared to the analytical result. This model also shows how to tackle friction dominated contact problem.
Absorptive Muffler with Shells
This model describes the pressure wave propagation in a muffler for an internal combustion engine. The purpose of the model is to show how to analyze both inductive and resistive damping in pressure acoustics as well as coupling the fluid to the surrounding elastic shell structure of the muffler. Finally, the eigenmodes of a pure structural problem is analyzed and the modes compared to peaks in ...
Thick Plate Stress Analysis
A benchmark model where a thick plate exposed to pressure on the top surface is analyzed. The solution is compared with a NAFEMS benchmark solution.
Submodel in a Wheel Rim
In stress analysis, it is common that the regions with high stresses are small when compared to the whole structure. Sometimes it is not feasible to have a mesh that at the same time captures the global behavior and resolves the stress concentrations with high accuracy. This is especially true in nonlinear or dynamic problems. You can cope with this type of problems with a technique known as ...
Linear Buckling Analysis of a Truss Tower
Trusses are commonly used to create light structures that can support heavy loads. When designing such a structure, it is important to ensure its safety. For a tower made of bars, buckling can cause the structure to collapse. This model shows how to compute the critical buckling load using a linear buckling analysis. The solution is compared with an analytical expression for critical load ...
Postbuckling Analysis of a Hinged Cylindrical Shell
The model studied is a benchmark for a hinged cylindrical panel subjected to a point load at its center. A linear buckling analysis predicts the critical buckling load. Such an analysis will however not give any information about what happens at loads higher than the critical load. Tracing the solution after the critical load is called a postbuckling analysis. This model uses the Shell interface.
Hertzian Contact
A long elastic cylinder resting on a flat rigid foundation is analyzed. The cylinder is subjected to a uniform load along its top. The contact pressure distribution is compared with the analytical solution
Scordelis-Lo Roof Shell Benchmark
In this example a thin curved membrane is built and solved using the Shell interface. This model is a widely used benchmark model denoted the Scordelis-Lo roof. The computed maximum z-deformation is compared with the value given in Proposed Standard Set of Problems to Test Finite Element Accuracy, Finite Elements in Analysis and Design, 1985.
Parameterized I-Beam
This example shows how to parameterize a CAD model by deforming the corresponding finite element mesh. The method enables geometry parameterization of non-parameterized CAD models such as: - models created by the built-in COMSOL CAD tools - imported neutral CAD files such as .igs or .step - imported .x_t, .sat, or other vendor-specific formats - imported finite element mesh files The module ...

Goshen News
---- — ELKHART — When a team breaks a six-game losing streak the first thing the coach wants to talk about is getting back into the winner's circle.
That was the case with Goshen High School girls basketball coach Lenny Krebs Friday night after the Redskins defeated Jimtown, 36-28, on a cold and snowy evening when most of the games on the area schedule were postponed.
"It feels good to win again. It has been about a month," the coach said.
Prior to the Jimtown victory Goshen last win was on Dec. 13 over Wawasee by a 44-23 score.
"When you go that long without a win it's hard to complain about how your team played," Krebs said. "I'm so proud of this group for hanging in there and getting this win to stop the streak."
Krebs and the Redskins will not have long to savor the win as Goshen (8-7) is scheduled to play tonight against NorthWood (14-4) in an NLC contest.
Both teams struggled at times Friday night and seemed to have troubles finding any kind of rhythm on offense.
"We've struggled all year scoring points and keeping our turnovers down," Jimtown coach Gene Johnson said. "It's hard when we get behind in a game, because we are not a team that can score points in chunks. We have been inconsistent on offense all season. We cannot put too many possessions together on offense."
Goshen may have had something to do with that on Friday as the Redskins mixed up their defenses between zone, man and a trapping style.
"We are having trouble being aggressive on the offensive end if we are not in an aggressive defense," Krebs said. "The trap makes us more aggressive. We used it to prevent them from getting good looks at the basket."
Goshen led 11-8 after one quarter and Jimtown made it 11-10 on a basket by senior Ali Brothers at 7:37 of the second period.
"Brothers hit some shots early on for Jimtown, because we let her get her feet set," Krebs said. "We went to the trap and that put Jimtown in more of a hurry up mode on offense."
The Jimmies ended up with 22 turnovers in the game.
"Goshen switched up their defenses and it takes us some time to transition from one offense to another," Johnson said. "It was not a lack of effort on our part. It was the turnovers."
The Redskins got a pair of baskets (one 3-pointer) from senior Deja Felder and a basket from sophomore Olivia Love to take an 18-12 lead with 4:38 left in the second. Goshen went on to a 22-14 halftime lead as Love scored following an offensive rebound at 1:46 and freshman Aylissa Trosper chipped in with two free throws at 1:24.
Love scored nine points in the contest to lead Goshen in scoring.
"This might be the first game all season where Felder didn't lead us in scoring," Krebs said. "We generally struggle when Felder doesn't score."
Felder finished with eight points and junior Kayci Troyer six for the Redskins.
Love and Troyer are post players for Goshen.
"We have been talking to the post players about stepping things up and we saw some of that tonight," Krebs said.
Also for the winners, junior Leslie Vanlandingham and freshman Ashton Ellis both netted five points, Trosper two and senior Jessica DeStefano one.
Goshen took a 29-22 lead into the final period and with 3:10 left to play the Jimmies had cut the deficit to four points (31-27). Troyer's basket at 2:18 and a three-point play from Ellis at 2:02 pushed the Redskin lead back to nine.
"We need to do a better job of learning situations," Krebs said. "We got into a little panic mode late in the game. We need to do a better job of recognizing the kind of shot we want and of taking better care of the ball. It doesn't matter how many points you win by."
Jimtown got a game-high 13 points from sophomore Shawntel James and the youngster also grabbed 15 rebounds.
"She had a nice game," Johnson said.
Brothers added six points and senior Maddi Beadles five for the Jimmies.
Jimtown (5-10) travels to Central Noble Tuesday.

Nicola Bennett was the runaway winner of the Redbourn Golf Club Girls' Open scoring a sensational 72, a new ladies course record.
Nicola, a 2-handicapper from nearby Porter's Park Golf Club, shot a gross score of one-under par, 17 shots better than nearest rivals Elena Tizzard and Megan Daniels who each scored 89 with count back placing them second and third respectively.
Redbourn hosted more than 25 young women from across Hertfordshire and neighbouring counties for its annual Girls' Open competition played over the Ver Course, 18-picturesque-holes with spectacular views across the countryside.
It was home girl Holly Hunter who was triumphant in the nett prize, after missing out on the top three in the gross by just a shot. Her score of nett 69 was matched by Georgina Bowers from Watford's Bushey Hall Golf Club, but a better back nine secured Holly's victory.
Finishing third in the nett competition was Freya Daniels, another Redbourn member, beating her handicap by two shots to finish just two shots off the leaders' pace with nett 71.
Ian McDowell, Redbourn Golf Club General Manager, said: "It's always wonderful to see golf being played well and the girls, particularly winner, Nicola, certainly did that. My congratulations to both our winners and I look forward to welcoming the region's young golfers to our club again soon.
"The standard of junior golf is exceptionally high at Redbourn and with golf becoming an Olympic sport in 2016, we could be talking about British gold-medallists of the future."
