IMPD: Man shot while walking his dog on city's northwest side
Victim suffered minor injuries
INDIANAPOLIS - A man was shot while walking his dog on the city's northwest side Wednesday morning, police said.
Rex Souter said an SUV similar to the one involved in a high-speed chase and crash pulled up behind him as he was walking his dog in the 5200 block of Glen Stewart Way near 56th and Dandy Trail.
"The guy stuck his hand out the window and extended the pistol and started shooting and I thought there were probably five or six shots, but at that time I was kind of dancing, zigging and zagging, trying to be missed," Souter told RTV6.
Souter said he ran for his life while the SUV drove away, but the car quickly turned around and targeted him a second time, popping off a couple more rounds in his direction.
"I was flabbergasted when they turned around and came back," Souter said.
Souter said he stayed hidden behind a house for 30 seconds until he knew the shooter was gone, then he raced home.
Souter said he was halfway home before he realized he'd been hit.
"It was a single bullet that went through my side, traveled under the skin for several inches but didn't damage anything else, so I was very fortunate," he said.
Police said the man was grazed by a bullet and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening
Police think this incident could be connected to a fatal shooting in Southport , the high-speed chase and crash involving four cars, and a string of other vehicle thefts and robberies.
A 15-year-old and a 17-year-old are being questioned by police.

The Traumatic Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (TSGLI) benefit is designed to provide financial assistance to service members during their recovery period from a serious traumatic injury. The program is not disability compensation and has no effect on entitlement for compensation and pension benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs or disability benefits provided by the Department of Defense. It is an insurance product similar to commercial dismemberment policies. On December 1, 2005, all members eligible for Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) automatically became insured for traumatic injury protection of up to $100,000 unless they declined SGLI coverage. This benefit provides payouts of a tax free lump sum payment ranging from $25,000 to $100,000, depending on the extent of a service member's injury, for service members who have lost limbs, eyesight, or speech or received other traumatic injuries as a direct result of injuries received during operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, or New Dawn.

We recently acquired a fixer upper. One of the things I've been bothered by is that two rooms only have wood sheet paneling on the walls with no drywall behind them.
I suppose this is ok for interior walls, but the case is the same with three walls which are exterior as well. I have not yet pulled one off to see what kind of insulation is behind it. (And given all the other snafus we've got on our list, I am a bit fearful to see what we find.) One particularly odd thing (to me) is that there is a half wall between the family room and the dining room, which houses one of our two circuit breaker boxes. There is nothing in between the wiring coming out of the box and this wood sheeting. To me, that's a fire waiting to happen. Am I correct in thinking that any wall should have drywall? Or should only the exterior walls? At least the wall facing the electrical box? Or none? Any advice on this situation would be appreciated. |

It sounds like you have some major electrical snafus. Here is what I would suggest: Since your walls probably need to be replaced anyway, use this as an opportunity to redo and upgrade your electric - it is SO MUCH EASIER with the walls exposed and much of it can be done yourself. And if you have it done later with the walls up, you will need a qualified electrician to fish the new wiring through at a cost of thousands of dollars. With an outdated electric service, you can't install appliances like electric heat and on-demand hot water in addition to many other high-amp applications - that is where we are now and I can't afford an electrician. Replace your paneling with drywall and update the insulation. If you are in a cold climate, use this as an opportunity to make your walls thicker - see the link below. |

""Am I correct in thinking that any wall should have drywall?"" Yes, it is a fire retardent. Not much is really fireproof but the drywall slows a fire considerately. |

Due to a number of ridiculous circumstances that are no real excuse whatsoever, it had been three years since I had filed any papers in my home office, so crap just kept accumulating and the final straw was that we had our carpets cleaned (every other room in the house) just before Thanksgiving, so all random around the house paperwork was dumped into the office all at one time... :(
I started on Jan. 6 in the home office and it took me fifteen hours total over a little more than a week's time to beat it back into submission. However, I have been victorious!!! I've posted before and after pictures on my blog (link below). I'm really proud of the final results. It was a lot of hard focused work and it looks SO much better! http://herbygoodness.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-way-to-start-year-before-and-after.html |

AWESOME! Can I have it? Your office looks so peaceful yet ready to get something done! Fantastic job! Well done! |
Thank you! Yes, it does feel soooo much more peaceful in there. I've gone in a few times since then and just sat and smiled as I looked around. :) LOL Can you tell I am easily entertained? I'm working on the basement now. Fortunately it wasn't really horrific, but it was the typical basement storage dumping ground. I took before pictures and I think it will be quite inspiring when it is done. At the rate I am going, it may end up taking less time than my office took. Paper just takes so dang long to go through! Fortunately the basement is mostly boxes and many of them are "whole" boxes (like boxes of canning jars for instance) that don't need to be gone through individually. My christmas and craft stuff will take longer to go through, but I am persevering and making great progress! When I am done, I'll post before and after pictures. The basement isn't finished, so neither set of pics will be particularly pretty, but I'm going for organized here. I'm actually ahead of schedule, since this was the project I had designated for February. |
Yay! Good for you! Looking at the pictures was good inspiration for my February project (decluttering our snail mail). |

I'm so impressed with you! Thanks for sharing your progress; it's posts just like this that are so inspiring and what the Organizing Forum used to be about. Since I'm slogging through an office clean-up of my own, it will nice to have your recent progress to reference while I do it. |
- Posted by colorcrazy (My Page) on Mon, Jan 31, 11 at 19:51
Thanks for the inspiration! I am in the same boat, except our stacks of paper are in the attic. When we had the basement finished three years ago, we moved the filing cabinets to the attic. Thought we would just file bank statements etc with no problem. Instead, the papers just went on the stairs. So now we have a copy paper box full of papers to be filed, plus a new stack on the stairs. I am going to ask DH to bring that box down so we can start sorting it out. Need to do it before tax time anyway. |
colorcrazy, why don't you move your filing to a more convenient place, so it won't get out of hand again? Maria |
Your "before" picture is my office, too! What has worked for me in the past is to set a timer for 30 minutes, work for that time, and then quit. I made astonishing progress in just a few sessions the last time I tried this. Why did I let this get do bad again? Like you, we did some remodeling, and what we couldn't find a place for went in the office. As it got messier, I just kept stacking. You're inspiring me to start again! |

The best thing I did to cut back on my paper clutter was to go "paperless" with a Neat Receipts scanner. Now I just run everything thru the scanner and throw it in a folder marked for the month. The files will be waiting for me on my laptop so sort and categorize when I have time. (Hmmm. there are some there waiting for me now, maybe I should get off GW :) |
Great job! I just shared your post on my Facebook. I was reading this blog the other day on 'Taking Action on Everyday Papers' - linked below. Sounds like a good 'interim' solution before the actual final action. |

groups tour regionally, nationally and internationally. For more information
on our Choral Ensembles, click here.
The University of Minnesota Duluth Opera Studio, serves both the graduate and undergraduate vocal studies majors and other qualified singers. The Opera Studio presents two major performances a year
– an opera scenes program and a full length opera. Performances are done in English or the original
language with supertitles. Scenes and operas are chosen to fit the students' abilities with an emphasis
on developing stage and acting skills. Recent past successful productions are Verdi's Falstaff, the
double bill of Suor Angelica and I Pagliacci, and Humperdinck's fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel. 2013

Kok T et al. – The Levitan FPS (first pass success) Scope (LFS) in conjunction with the Macintosh laryngoscope does not improve the efficacy or safety of tracheal intubation in a simulated difficult airway.
Methods- Ninety–four subjects successfully completed the trial.
- Manual in–line stabilization of the cervical spine was applied and the initial laryngoscopy was performed using either the Macintosh or the LFS in conjunction with the Macintosh.
- Following the initial grading, a second laryngoscopy was repeated using the second randomized technique.
- Cormack–Lehane grades, percentage of glottic opening (POGO) scores, time to intubate, number of intubation attempts, and the use of alternate techniques were recorded.
- The anesthesiologist rated the subjective difficulty in using each technique with a numeric rating scale and a visual rating scale.
- There was no significant difference in the primary outcome "good laryngoscopic views" (Cormack–Lehane grade 1 and 2) compared with "poor laryngoscopic views" (Cormack–Lehane grade 3 and 4) between the LFS and the Macintosh.
- There were higher POGO scores with the LFS compared with the Macintosh (80% vs 20%, respectively; P<0.0001), but this did not translate to easier intubations, as documented by the need for an alternate intubation technique or time to intubate (<30 and <60sec, respectively).
- The incidence of mucosal trauma, sore throat, and hemodynamic responses did not differ significantly between the two techniques.

Efficacy of an outer membrane protein of Pasteurella haemolytica A2, A7 or A9-enriched vaccine against intratracheal challenge exposure in sheep
Mohd Yusoff, Md Sabri and Saad, Mohd Zamri and Mutalib, Abdul Rahim and Israf Ali, Daud Ahmad and N., Muniandy (2000) Efficacy of an outer membrane protein of Pasteurella haemolytica A2, A7 or A9-enriched vaccine against intratracheal challenge exposure in sheep. Veterinary Microbiology, 73 . pp. 13-23. ISSN 0378-1135
Full text not available from this repository.

The outer membrane proteins (OMP) were extracted from the P. haemolytica A2, A7 and A9 to determine their potential as immunogens and their capability for cross-protection. Sixty lambs of approximately 9 months old were divided into four main groups. Animals in Group 1 were vaccinated with 2 ml vaccine containing 100 mg/ml of the outer membrane proteins of P. haemolytica A2. Animals in Group 2 were similarly vaccinated with the OMPs of P. haemolytica A7 while Group 3 with OMPs of P. haemolytica A9. Animals in Group 4 were unvaccinated control. During the course of the study, serum was collected to evaluate the antibody levels toward each OMP. There appeared to be good immune responses. However, high antibody levels did not necessarily result in good protection of the animals, particularly against cross-infection with P. haemolytica A9 in animals vaccinated with the OMPs of P. haemolytica A2. It seemed that the antibody responses were more speci®c toward the homologous challenge but generally did not cross-protect against heterologous serotype challenge. However, the OMPs of P. haemolytica A7 produced good in vivo cross-protection and excellent correlations when good antibody responses against all serotypes led to successful reductions of the extent of lung lesions following homologous and heterologous challenge exposures. Thus, the OMPs of P. haemolytica A7 was effective in protecting animals against homologous and heterologous infection by live P. haemolytica A2, A7 and A9.

We're happy to announce YSWMI Update 1 is live today!
Linux Version:
An awesome Linux version of YSWMI is now live! We've tested it on Ubuntu 13.04 but we're guessing it should run on any Linux system with the right dependencies installed (and, of course, you can download the free and awesome Linux demo to test out the game on your system first).
18 New Levels:
The 18 Classic levels from You Probably Won't Make It have been added to YSWMI, all with fancy new graphics! Try them out, they're really hard. :)
With that (probably) poorly written and grammatically incorrect Japanese sentence, we introduce You Still Won't Make It to the land of the rising sun. With a (hopefully) grammatically correct translation of the game, courtesy of a native speaker, that is. If you have any Japanese friends, please let them know about the game!よろしくお願いします!
Korean and Chinese soon to come!
Gamepad support:
We've fixed the gamepad input on the game itself (a bugfix), and we've added gamepad support to the main menu, for good measure. There's still no support on the Options screen, but it's a nice start. :)
We've reduced the memory footprint of the game, as well as patching some pretty massive and embarrassing memory leaks. Amongst other things. Full screen mode on Mac OS X now fills the entire screen, too.
New death effects:
We'll keep it a secret, but you might find them fun, or not, depending on your tastes. Go complain to Marty with your pitchforks and torches, it was his idea after all. ;)
Now that you know why you should upgrade, it's time to tell you *how* to upgrade. YSWMI Update 1 has the version number 1.1.0 so be sure to watch out for that in places like Desura.
If you have Desura installed, the client should automatically patch the game for you. Alternatively you can download for Linux using the Linux client or download a .DMG from the Desura website for your Mac.
Humble Widget:
As you can see, the Humble website automatically lets you know when a new version of the game is available. For good measure, all YSWMI Update 1 files have the number 1 on them for easy identification.
Simply download, and replace the old YSWMI version with the YSWMI Update 1 executable.
Other storefronts:
Mac App Store users should get the update as soon as it is approved by Apple. Likewise with IndieGameStand customers.
Enjoy Update 1, and be sure to let us know if you have any suggestions!
YSWMI Update 1 is being pushed out as we speak. Right now it's only available in very select places (Desura), for very select platforms (Linux). The update should start appearing randomly as the various storefronts approve it for various different platforms.
You might be getting a 'NEW YSWMI VERSION!!1!!1′ message if you run the game… that's because we updated our records server-side and the message should now fire for all copies of YSWMI 1.0.
We'll post more news once the update has been pushed out everywhere, with instructions on how to upgrade.
You can now (finally, sorry for any delays. :P) get You Still Won't Make It on the Mac App Store! The place which made You Probably Won't Make It successful now has the long awaited sequel, You Still Won't Make It. We're very excited to finally release YSWMI on its spiritual homeland (homestore?), so hopefully we'll see you playing from launch day. Get it here! :)
First things first, do remember to follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook so you can get the latest Vetra Games news without having to check this place. We're not the spammy kind of page, so you can rest assured that we won't spam your feed with useless marketing. :)
Now that that's been said, it's time for the juicy news! First on the list is YSWMI Update 1. Here's some of the new features we've been planning:
18 new levels:
We've brought the 18 'Classic' levels from You Probably Won't Make It over to You Still Won't Make It, and trust us, they're really, really hard. Not only that, but they're also revamped with YSWMI's gorgeous graphical style and full of little Easter eggs and stuff out there for you to find.
Linux version:
We've ported YSWMI to Linux! All of you Linux users should now be able to enjoy the full glory of YSWMI running natively on everyone's favourite open source operating system. Do note that we've only tested it on Ubuntu but it should run fine on other distros should the required dependencies be installed.
A few extra effects upon death:
We're keeping this a secret for now but we expect the game to be reclassified by PEGI and the ESRB due to this. :P
We're localising the game to Japanese, adding to the existing localisations of Spanish, French and Dutch. If you live in Japan and/or have Japanese friends, don't hesitate to show off the game and get them playing! :)
To all of you Korean speakers… we've got a localisation in the works for you too, but we probably won't be able to finish it by this version. Rest assured that it's coming one way or another!
Gamepad & bug fixes:
We've fixed some issues with the gamepad (MASSIVE kudos to Razey, Scytharia, and figalot for making us aware of the issue) and it should no longer cause trouble. We've also made the full menu gamepad-compatible.
Proper fullscreen on the Mac:
On Mac OS X, the screen will now scale to fit the screen, instead of keeping the aspect ratio as before.
YSWMI Update 2:
You should really watch out for YSWMI Update 2. It will not only include some pretty fresh graphic updates, but it'll also include another 18 levels in the form of World 4, the Level Editor, Collectibles, and a (potential?) Greenlight campaign. So be excited…
Also, please don't hesitate to send us your thoughts via Facebook, Twitter, Desura, the comments, and via email. We'd love to know what you think. :)
You Still Won't Make It is now available on Desura! The superhard platformer by Vetra Games is now available for purchase for the low price of USD $4.99!
By the makers of Karoshi and They Need To Be Fed, a platformer game designed to be soul-crushingly challenging and frustrating, You Still Won't Make It is a game that's sure to reduce your lifespan by at least a few years, all for the price of a coffee at your favourite overpriced coffeeshop!
Featuring 50 impossible levels, fine tuned graphics and audio (headphones recommended), plus a double jump mechanic designed to make levels harder: jump, run, float, and die (plenty of times), as you attempt to escape from a mysterious house of death. You probably won't make it… and we can't accept any responsibility for bodily harm, or physical damage to your computer. So play it if you dare!
We're happy to announce YSWMI will be finally arriving on Desura! The acclaimed superhard platformer is now available for preorder, for PC and Mac, for only USD $4.99!

Don't take our word for it, though. Here's what some members of the press had to say about YSWMI:
"You Still Won't Make It is the kind of indie game you're going to hate while you fall in love with it." -JayIsGames
"Everything about this game… I know I keep saying it… it has a really really decent atmosphere, they've really thought of everything…" -GMNewsBite
"This house of death is kitted out with giant fans to float along, spikes laid down on every possible surface and collapsing platforms hovering above them, so it's very likely you're going to die…a lot." -IndieStatik
So, if you've been waiting to buy YSWMI on Desura, now's your chance! Preorder today! Or, for those of you who can't wait, buy now from our website!
Hey everyone,
Whoever hasn't tried You Still Won't Make It has no excuse anymore, because we've put up a demo of You Still Won't Make It that you can download to try the game out. You know what they say, first get them hooked… :P
The demo is available for PC and Mac and you can download it on the game page (on the sidebar).
YSWMI Update 1
Ever since we finished the final build of YSWMI, we've been working on an update to address some of the shortcomings as well as get new content out to you guys in order to keep your hatred for us nice and fresh. Some of those changes, in fact, made their way into the demo, although they're inaccessible (as it IS a demo, and they're not finished yet anyways). Some stuff you should watch out for:
There's an update checker on the game itself, in the options menu. You can also follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, or subscribe to our newsletter, where you'll get the latest news about new YSWMI versions and other Vetra Games news, all nice and warm straight from our newsoven. :)
On a longer timescale, we want to make a level editor for YSWMI (a good one, too) as well as complete World 4, 5, and 6. Hopefully these things should keep you entertained for a while.
And, finally, for those of you who haven't bought YSWMI, don't forget to go buy it now, it's really fun! :D
It's here! You Still Won't Make It is now available for Windows, Mac, and Windows 8! Awesome ad:
Buy You Still Won't Make It (and we'll love you forever! :D) through its official page, where you can buy it through our Humble widget (for PC and Mac), and the Windows Store (for Windows 8).
Desura: Desura has unfortunately failed to review and approve our game in time for YSWMI's launch on the 30th of July. Rest assured that we've already uploaded builds of YSWMI to Desura and it's only a matter of time before the game becomes available on Desura. Also, if you buy the game through our Humble widget, you'll get a free Desura key along with the PC and Mac versions, so there's no reason to wait. :)
Mac App Store: We haven't yet submitted the game to Apple, as we thought we'd get some reviews out and some noise going before we make the game available there. Don't worry, it's coming.
Linux: We're experimenting with a Linux (specifically, an Ubuntu) port, and should we make it available existing buyers who get the game through our website's Humble widget and Desura should automatically get it.
Other Platform/Store: Let us know if you'd like to see YSWMI in 'X' platform or store, and if we see enough interest we might consider it. :)
We're already working on Update 1 for YSWMI. It should include the 18 Classic levels from 'You Probably Won't Make It' as well as fixes for any bugs that may have slipped past us. Updates further down the line should include World 4 and a level editor (which is in the planning stage) as well as the (potential) aforementioned Linux port. We'll talk more about Update 1 and beyond when we have more concrete details.
Well, we've worked for a while on this game, so we really hope you enjoy it. We'll be supporting it for a while with new levels, features, and more. Any suggestions or comments, don't hesitate to contact us. Thanks for buying!
As the (hastily made, rubbish) graphic says, we've slated YSWMI for a 30th of July, 2013 release! YSWMI will be available for Windows and Mac through our website (at launch date), Desura, the Mac App Store, and the Windows 8 Store (dependent on each individual store's release date). All for the very awesome price of $5 USD! That's about the price of a coffee at your favourite overpriced local coffeeshop, so we hope we can see you playing from launch date. :)
To celebrate, we've created our very own Vetra Games Newsletter! We plan to give away free copies of YSWMI via this newsletter, our Twitter account, and Facebook page, so be sure to sign up, follow, and like today!
We also are pleased to announce we've localised You Still Won't Make It to Spanish, French, and Dutch (and we're looking at pushing further localisations down the line), so be sure to let your non-English speaking friends know about the game!
… So what is YSWMI anyways?
For those who are not familiar with the series, You Still Won't Make It is the sequel to the hit You Probably Won't Make It by Jesse Venbrux, which was well received by Mac and PC users everywhere. The new game features:
We've worked very hard on this game for a fairly long time, so it's great to finally announce its release date. We really hope you enjoy it when it's out, so be sure to mark the release date on your calendar. :)
Also, we're really proud to announce that we'll be submitting this game to YoYo Games' Win Big competition, so please wish us the best of luck, as the prize money will help towards future YSWMI updates and new games (like New Karoshi) which you should look forward to. :)
Check out a soundtrack sample and some awesome screenshots:
Yup, so we're working on a Karoshi game. We won't say much (it's a spoiler after all), but know that it's a new game. And it's called New Karoshi.
You Still Won't Make It
We're still working on that! We're very nearly finished (we promise).
Jesse visited me (Uriel) in order to crank out some hardcore YSWMI work out, and, boy, did the game not grow? Lots of ideas have been pitched, a concrete 'deadline' (also known as really finish it this time line) was placed, and a few 'last minute features' have been planned.
Here's Jesse working on a YSWMI level. He built an awesome level designer which I'll surely use.
Other news…
We're aware that some users of our Mac App Store games are experiencing difficulties. We're aware of the problem and we're migrating all the games to the newest GameMaker runner available… we hope this solves the issue for good. However… the new technology kind of breaks games in a bad way sometimes, so we're taking a while updating stuff to make sure everything works nicely. :)

patronage among the leading families of this vicinity.
undertaking parlors, which he accepted. He continued in this business as
assistant, up to the time of Mr. Mower's death, which occurred October 13,
1917. He then succeeded to the business, and has since conducted it alone,
with constantly increasing success.
LINCOLN D. ROBBINS - Among the well-known automobile garage service men of
Massachusetts is Lincoln D. Robbins, who since 1905 has lived in Lynn, and
for several years has been president of the Oxford Garage, Inc., probably
one of the largest businesses in that line in Lynn. Lincoln D.
Robbins was born in Norwood, Massachusetts, July 21, 1875, son of Charles
W. and Mary A. (Rhoads) Robbins, the former still living. He was for many
years a bank cashier. Lincoln D. is one of the three children, sons, born
to Charles W. and Mary A. (Rhoads) Robbins, and he grew to manhood in his
native place, attending the public schools of Norwood, and eventually
graduating from the high school, in the class of 1895. Soon thereafter he
went into the machine shop of H. D. Plympton, at Norwood, and during the
next five years, which were all spent under the same employer, he learned
the trade of mechanical engineering. For a further five years he was a
mechanic with various concerns. In 1905 he came to Lynn and then
established the garage known as that of Robbins Brothers, at No. 197 Broad
street. The company was reorganized later, and took corporate existence
under the name of L. D. Robbins & Company, Inc. As such, the business
was conducted until 1915, when the Oxford Garage Company was organized and
incorporated. The present corporation is composed of L. D. Robbins,
president; G. V. Sawyer, vice-president and treasurer; and P. F. Malloy,
clerk. Since that time the business has grown considerably, and the garage
is now probably the most modern as well as the most extensive in the Lynn
district. It is equipped with the most up-to-date appliances, and three
floors afford a space of about 35,000 square feet. In addition to repairs
and service the company carries a complete line of supplies, and has one
of the largest sales rooms in Essex county. The building is owned by Mr.
Robbins, who is a wellknown and successful business man. He is a high
ranking Mason, his affiliations extending to the Shrine; and he also
belongs to the Oxford Club, of Lynn. Mr. Robbins
married, in 1907, Aimee, daughter of Frederic and Ida (Peabody) Stocker,
of East Saugus, Massachusetts. The father of Mrs. Robbins was a brick
manufacturer there; he died in 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Robbins have two
children: Frederick S., who was born in 1908; and Lincoln D., Jr., born in

We played a 7 player game today with Yog as the GOO and the Dark Pharoah expansion cards included. We lost by turn 6 as we didn't get to close gates early on. A Environment card from the expansion came into play that had Mummies in the streets and they were 2 toughness creatures that you had to fight or evade when leaving a street area. We could not get to the gates fast enough since the mummies would stop movement if you fought them and they were either a -2 or -3 awareness to try to sneak past them.
A few things came up.
1. We had 4 gates open and 6 monsters on the board, 1 in the outskirts from prior turns, and 2 in the sky. A monster surge happened. Since there were more players than open gates, we had 7 monsters to allocate to the surge. Terror track was on 2. What is the end result??
One theory we came up with is that you allocated the monsters one at a time and determine if THAT monster made the team hit the MONSTER LIMIT. If it did not, place the monster on an open gate according to the will of the party, and move on to the next one. If that one does not make you hit the MONSTER LIMIT, place it and so on. So here is how it would play out. under that interpretation....
7 monsters to place because of the surge, 6 on the board, 2 in the sky, 1 in the outskirts.
The first monster is placed randomly placed at a gate, monster count is 9,
The second monster is placed randomly and reaches the MONSTER LIMIT, the outskirts monster is returned to the cup, the terror track goes up by 1
The next monster (#3) is played into the outskirts (since there are now 10 monsters in play, it immediately goes in the cup and terror rises by 1)
The next monster (#4) same as last
The next monster (#5) same as last
The next monster (#6) same as last
The next monster (#7) same as last.
So I think the result is 8 monsters on the board, 2 in the sky, none in the outskirts and the terror has jumped from its original value of 2 to 8.
Did we get it wrong??

I have 2 asian pear trees in their 1st yr. My multi-graft is doing well, but has many leaves freckled with brown thru both sides of the leaf. The muncher is starting from the top of the leaf and going thru to the bottom. My Hosui has a worse muncher that is eating the new growth. I have seen some ants on this one but don't think they are the guilty ones. Could one of the munchers be cucumber beetle? They are around for sure. It looks like 2 different pests. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you see ant, you prolly have aphids. Otherwise a caterpillar might be doinng the damage. I doubt its a cuke btl. |
Could it be pear slug? I saw the first ones on one of my quince yesterday. The tree is small enough I squished them with my fingers that just happened to be gloved at the time. They are a form of sawfly and apparently very fragile and, in spite of their name, pretty indiscriminate about what species they'll eat. |
Here is a link that might be useful: pear slug damage?
Thanks. I think it could be aphids eating the new growth of the Hosui because of the way the new growth is dissapearing. The freckled holes(not see thru but brown on both sides of the leaf) on my multigraft seem like something bigger. It's not slugs on either. I would see those for sure. |
Aphids are sucking insects. There's a caterpillar somewhere. |
Thanks. Going caterpillar hunting. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Motorcade left WH 11:30.
Arrived Arlington National Cemetery at 11:45 via Memorial Bridge.
President and First Lady got out to pay their respects and talk with people who happened to be visiting graves in section 60 in the southeast portion of the cemetery, which is reserved for service members killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. They talked with two groups of people at two different graves, and walked down and back along a row of graves, holding hands. On this warm, sunny day, President was wearing a black suit, white shirt and light gray tie. Mrs. Obama wore a white blouse and black slacks. According to a White House official, this is the President's third visit to section 60. They shook hands and posed for pictures with some of the people and the President gave one young woman a hug. Motorcade left about noon and arrived back at the WH at 12:11 to pick up the First Daughters. Next up, a service project nearby. Holding here for now. According to a WH official, " On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, the President believes that it is important for all Americans to honor those who have served since 9/11, to remember those lives we have lost, and to support their families."

surf caddies - if you know any japanese surfers who might be going to bali or surrounding islands, could you please let them know it is very UNCOOL to pay a local guide to start fights in the surf so they can get waves to themselves. the caddies are also paid to sit inside of everyone and call the other surfers off so their clients can catch the waves. the japanese visitors to indonesia are getting a really bad name with other surfers for this reason. pass this on an hopefully stop this practice before something bad happens. regards kim

This is the fourth part in a six-part series covering the repair process involved with acid rain and chemical etching.
For the purposes of this article, we will consider the following project: you are repairing a 1999 model vehicle. The paint has etch marks scattered across all of its horizontal surfaces, requiring that several large areas must be replaced. Please note that the items listed above (in particular, the paint thickness gauge), should be used in the following chemical etch repair process.
The vehicle should have a base-coat/clear coat finish, but if you are not sure of the type of paint system, there is a simple thing to do. Put a small amount of non-aggressive polish on a white towel and rub several areas of the paint. If no color transfers to the towel, the vehicle has a clear coat finish. (If color does transfer to the towel, you are working with a single stage paint and the methods described in this article may not work for this particular paint system.)
Once you have established the paint system, choose a test area of about two-feet by two-feet on which to see whether the damage can be repaired without repainting. The test area should representative of the overall severity of etching damage on the finish. It should contain some of the worst and some of the least severe etch marks.
If it is impossible to find a two-feet by two-feet area like this, test the procedure on the least severe spots first. If the damage is scattered all over the horizontal panels on the car and these least severe spots cannot be repaired without disturbing the basecoat, it is time to forget this type of repair and tell the customer the vehicle should be repainted.
With a test area chosen, you need to know whether a paint sealant has been applied to the finish. If it has, the sealant must be removed with a solvent. If it is not removed, the sealant may slow down the process and end up being ground into the finish.
Any paint finish without a sealant application requires only a good washing with a mild detergent to neutralize and remove contaminants and dirt, and a thorough rinsing. Of course, stubborn substances like wax, tar, bugs and grease must be removed with a solvent before washing and rinsing.
Next, measure the total thickness of the paint in the test area. This allows you to know how much clear coat you are removing during the repair process. It also allows you to calculate a "stop point" beyond which you can go.
OEM factory applied clear coat is usually 1.5 mils thick. It is safest to leave at least 1 mil of clear coat to protect the basecoat. So, no more than .05 mils should be removed from the total film thickness. If more than that is removed and the base-coat is not disturbed, the clear coat must be reapplied on the repair area to restore proper base-coat protection. In addition, it becomes necessary to reapply clear coat, the last thickness reading can be compared to a reading after the clear coat has dried. This allows you to determine whether adequate protection has been restored.
For example, the paint thickness in the test area may be 4.1 mils, so it would be safe to remove .05 mils. Your stop point is 3.6 mils. Reducing the total thickness anymore than this will remove too much of the clear coat. As necessary, you can buff or sand until you reach 3.6 mils. Go beyond this point and you may need to refinish, at least with clear coat, and if you break through the base-coat a refinish for sure.
Be sure to make it policy to measure the paint thickness on every vehicle which you are trying to remove chemical etch marks. Different vehicles have different total film thicknesses. So, the stop point for each vehicle will be different. Do not assume that the starting thickness is always 4.1 mils and the stop point is 3.6, that is not true.

Sooo many crushed meds...
0Nov 17, '11 by beatrice1I am a new Grad, just started in a LTC facility. I have no complaints about the place, the DON is wonderful, very supportive, I got a great orientation...ect.
One thing that I am not comfortable with is that ALOT of the residents get ALL their meds crushed. I know they have swallowing problems but even drugs that shouldn't be crushed are. I just read an article about how this can be dangerous for some meds, and I am nervous that something may happen down the road and I will be at fault for crushing meds when they shouldn't be crushed... even though everyone does it.
How should I handle this?
Bea -
6Nov 17, '11 by Mom2boysRNContact your pharmacy and see if the meds that shouldn't be crushed come in liquid form.
2Nov 17, '11 by classicdame Guidethe veterans are doing it out of ignorance or "because everyone else does". Ask the pharmacy to supply you with a list of meds that should not be crushed. You may be surprised. Then let your DON see the list and perhaps post it. Metformin is one that should not be crushed.LockportRN and michelle126 like this.
1Nov 17, '11 by SweetseRNNoooo, don't do it just because everyone else does. You can really hurt someone if you crush the wrong med (potassium comes to mind, eep!) There is always some other alternative. Call the pharmacy or doc for sure.LockportRN likes this.
5Nov 17, '11 by loriangel14 GuideI see this at work too but the fact is that many of the meds I am giving do not come in liquid form or the patient cannot swallow liquids.Usually our choice is give them crushed or they don't get them at all.
7Nov 17, '11 by 46oldnewrnYou can always add the meds to water that say "do not crush" but I must say In my 4 years of nursing not a SINGLE DARN PERSON has died because their med's were crushed. Just Sayin!!
2Nov 17, '11 by birdie22Its usually the sustained release/extended release type of meds that shouldnt be crushed. Most other meds are ok.LockportRN and sweetnurse63 like this.
3Nov 17, '11 by cindyloowhoYou can't really get many "do not crush" meds in liquid form, as it is the enteric coating that creates the extended release. The physicians should be asked to switch the patient to another med that is comparable in function but with different dosing (if possible).
2Nov 17, '11 by NotFloQuote from cindyloowhoYes and crushing enteric-coated meds or other meds that shouldn't be crushed was something the state was specifically checking for during our last survey...and of course they observed the nurse doing just that.You can't really get many "do not crush" meds in liquid form, as it is the enteric coating that creates the extended release. The physicians should be asked to switch the patient to another med that is comparable in function but with different dosing (if possible).
What really sucks is when you ask the doc for a form that can be crushed now you're going from a daily med usually to a three or four times daily med which just increases the work load and stress for everyone involved, including the resident who doesn't want to be taking any pills in the first place.hoopschick and loriangel14 like this.

I had to replace all my cookware when I switched to induction, and though I'm happy with most of my replacements, my no-name stainless round griddle is going to the Goodwill after making my first batch of pancakes on it this morning.
I know, I know. You get what you pay for. But the buzzing and humming is too much for me. And I think I want to go back to a two-burner rectangle - I guess I'm just not dexterous enough to flip four decent-sized pancakes on a round griddle. And even though I'm not a big fan of non-stick coating after all the scary things I've read about them, I tore the first two pancakes in half. After that, I kind of got the hang of it, but... I need some advice. I'm thinking of a cast-iron double griddle or maybe a non-stick that's not too toxic - any recommendations? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oops - just read a similar post below from saltimbocca about non stick for induction - and his/her post said 'Oops, this belongs in the Cookware forum.' There's a forum just for Cookware? My apologies! So I'll go post over there. But after reading the responses to saltimbocca's post, I realize how much I agree with the poster who said LeCreuset and a little oil or butter is as good as non-stick, with none of the chemicals or flaking and Le Creuset lasts forever. They really ARE the best. Of all my replacement cookware - from Demeyere to All-Clad to Emeril - my mother's old orange flame Le Crueset frying pans are the best! Now I'll go over and post all this again on Cookware. Thanks, guys! |

These hinged cuffs are classic in style, but certainly not standard in material. Smooth, luscious ebony wood is highlighted with "cufflinks" of unmatched semi-precious stones such as blue and smoky topaz, peridot, citrine, amethyst and aquamarine set in 18K gold.

Grandview Mercantile
Situated in a former Tucker car dealership (an automotive predecessor of Ford and GM), this 20,000-square-foot antiques mall stands out for its fair and reasonable prices and its eccentric offerings. A recent visit turned up a taxidermic springbok and an ancient loom.

United By Fate debut menswear collection launch party
United By Fate is a project that I've been working on for the last year. The debut menswear collection is made up of limited edition leather belts (handmade in Wales), along with pocket, printed and basic t-shirts and sweatshirts – all finished and printed in Britain. It takes inspiration from the outdoors, the ocean, the city, free-living culture and a touch of British spirit. You'll see elements of classic menswear, plus touches of vintage skate, surf and workwear. In fact, if you have a minute to spare, why don't you give The Story a quick read? It's succinct, I promise.
The idea was to kick things off in style and it seemed only too fitting to throw a party to celebrate the last 9+ months of work. Inviting friends, their friends, interested people and of course; the incredible group of people who've made this all possible through their support, inspiration and talent.
What were the ingredients of the event?
Amazing people: As mentioned above. You guys all rock.
Great music: Provided by the talents of Dirty Leaves, Suffice Plustwo and the hilarious tiger-onesie wearing Ray Guns Look Real Enough – who between them covered off alt-folk, hip-hop and comedy mashups.
Ice cold beer: Courtesy of the generous folks at Atticus Lager. Thanks guys!
A pop-up United By Fate shop: This was a party to celebrate a clothing label launch, after all. The night was the perfect opportunity to show off the garments in the debut collection, chat to you all about the gear and finally sell some to those who've been waiting patiently for the release. The response was great, thank you to everyone who grabbed T-shirts, Belts and Sweatshirts. Send us photos of you wearing the gear to firstname.lastname@example.com or via our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
An unusual venue: London's 22-26, managed by the lovely Iga, is a unique space – part cavernous tunnel, part white walled gallery. It's quirky and intimate and there have been loads of great comments about the space from those of you who were there.
The verdict:
Everyone pulled together to dress the space out with live music, pop-up shop, beers on ice and videos projected on the wall. The turnout was great and the vibe was really awesome too; with old and new friends as well as loads of brand new faces to meet. If you came along, thank you, and if you missed it, don't worry it was too much fun to not do again in the future.
Photo Gallery:
You can view all the photos from the event and get tagging right here.
Would you like to experience more?
The webstore and full site have officially launched, so why not explore and see if anything catches your eye. Don't forget to check out the debut collection lookbook video on youtube and/or vimeo.
