Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital Information and History:
To foster healing and health for the people and communities we serve, particularly those medically underserved, through preeminent patient care and medical education.
To provide the safest, most satisfying care with the best outcomes at the best
value for the Denver community.
Owned and operated by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kansas, since 1883, Saint Joseph Hospital is one of the largest non-profit hospitals in the region. Licensed for 565 beds, Saint Joseph is the major admitting hospital for Colorado Kaiser Permanente and maintains contacts with most of the major health plans in the Denver metropolitan area. Its occupancy rate is among the highest in Denver. The Hospital receives referrals throughout the Rocky Mountain West for maternity/newborn, cardiovascular, orthopedic, oncological, neurosurgical, gastrointestinal, urological, and other medical/surgical subspecialties. It has received national recognition for its quality of care and three times has been ranked nationally among the Top 100 Teaching Hospitals by Mercer Management Consulting, Inc., and HICA, Inc .
Exempla saint joseph hospital was founded by the sisters of charity of leavenworth in 1873 and is the oldest private teaching hospital in denver. In january of 1998 saint joseph hospital joined lutheran medical center and exempla medical group to form exempla healthcare, a not-for-profit, community-based organization.
In 1873, while Denver was still struggling to become the Territorial Capital, Mother Xavier Ross of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kansas, sent four Sisters to the establishment of hospital work with nine dollars and the challenge: "Look forward for what good there is yet to be." The Sisters opened their hospital in a cottage at 14th and Arapahoe, but soon moved to a brick building at 26th and Holladay, later renamed Market Street.
During the early years, the hospital was known as Saint Vincent's. This was changed to Saint Joseph in 1876 when the Sisters began construction at 18th and Humboldt on land donated to them by territorial Governor William Gilpin. This site was directly adjacent to the hospital's present location at 1835 Franklin Street.
Construction of the administration building with its famous twin towers began in 1899. Led by flour baron John K. Mullen, the people of Denver raised $10,000.00 for this building with a "gigantic city-wide bazaar," and a "monster" euchre (whist) party, planned by none other than Mrs. J. J. "the Unsinkable Molly" Brown.
Ground was broken in 1961 for the hospital's current twin tower structures, which were dedicated May 31, 1964. Construction was accomplished in two phases. First the present towers were built, then the old twin towers were demolished. More recent additions of the old building were remodeled and utilized as part of the new structure.
A new surgery was added in 1972 and in 1977 the Radiology/Cardiovascular annex was completed. The latest addition, completed in 1997, is the Russell Pavilion. Named for benefactors Maxine and Sam Russell.
Art Program Goal:
The goal of the art program is to promote a healing and spiritually nurturing experience that reflects the safe and caring environment of ESJH. The artwork should engage the internal and external communities that ESJH has served as a faith-based hospital in Denver since 1873.
The key components of the art program are to have original artwork by Colorado artists in the most prominent spaces in the new hospital which integrate with the architecture and design.
Art Program Selection Criteria:
Movement (showing life)
Community (Western US, Colorado, Denver, Capitol Hill, ESJH)
Sacred (religious or spiritual)
Human presence
People of diversity
Diversity of materials
Additional Considerations:
Please download the Floor/Site Plan for all of this information and the interior design elements and architectural plans.

Survey Results: Ethernet and Wireless in Production Facilities
A joint survey by Automation World and Moxa was conducted to obtain insight into current engineering and management applications and opinions surrounding the use of Ethernet and wireless networks across industry.
Ten years ago it was difficult to find large numbers of engineers open to the idea of using Ethernet for plant floor operations. As for their opinion on wireless … forget about it. If Ethernet was a stretch for most engineers due to its perception as an IT network for front office operations, the use of wireless (outside of remote, long distance process operations) was just crazy talk.
But in the last few years, a noticeable shift has taken place in operations engineers' attitudes about Ethernet and wireless network technologies. We first started seeing demonstrable proof of this in the Automation World Innovation survey conducted in late 2011. In that survey, nearly half of respondents said the incorporation of Ethernet into plant floor systems was the most innovative advance to occur in automation over the past decade. With so many readers citing this development as being more innovative than any other, Ethernet's advance onto the factory floor was recognized as the clear innovation winner in readers' opinions.
With this new Automation World survey, conducted with Moxa, we wanted to dig deeper and learn not just what engineers think about Ethernet and wireless on the plant floor, but how they are using it there and what their plans are for it. Nearly one thousand readers from a variety of industries — ranging from automotive, chemicals, and electronics to food & beverage, oil & gas, and machinery/equipment OEMs — responded to the survey. Watch the short video connected to this article to see what we learned (the video can be accessed via the image in the upper right side of this article).

Mothers Day
Hi all,
Just wondering who else has the step children for mothers day?
and also how do you feel about it ??
I am dreading it, I just wish the bm would step up to the plate.
My skids with bm fulltine. and its our weekend and bm doesnt want to see them for mothers day nor wants to tell us what time ss has soccer on sunday.
So i have tried to be nice and I have organise mothers day lunch with my mum and my mother in law for 12:30 and if ss has soccer then he will just have to miss out.
But i guess ss will be up all saturday night crying..
My SD lives with us and goes to her BM for Mother's day every year. Fortunately, it always falls on her regular weekend anyway... so we pick up SD at 6 on Sunday.
How do I feel about it? Mother's day is an opportunity for children to show appreciation for their mother. When my kids were young, I would do something fun with them... because THAT is what made ME happy. If a mom does not want to spend the time with her children... well, it's sad for the kids but nothing you can do about it.
If you want to avoid ss crying, plan something fun to do with him so he won't be thinking about what he's missing out on. It's HER loss, not his. Do what you can to make him feel wanted & loved.
I know this doesn't always work... we have planned fun things for SD when her mom won't take her, only to spend the whole time having SD tells us how much she misses her mom and/or if my mom were here, she would do this... or that... and the whole day is about BM's absence & SD ends up depressed, crying or upset. NOTHING you can do about that. Just say sorry it has to be that way... wish it could be different... etc.
Good luck...
well let me take a different approach here. Kids live with her, she sees them 24/7, I don't believe they would be upset not seeing her one day. Could be that since she is a full time parent and is exhausted from care giving, she wants to do nothing on Mother's day, she wants to sleep all day, or spend day in a spa. I know it is weird to not want to see her kids, but if they live with her, why not have them that day and give her a break?
I don't understand the issue with SS. If he is crying over missing family time then who cares about soccer, he'll miss a game. I don't understand when school sports take over kids life. And it is easy to find when the game is on, give school or a coach a call or simply ask SS (unless OF course he si too young to understand time).
If kids are really upset over not seeing their mother for one day, then there is a bigger issue at hand.
My bioson and skids will be with us on Mother's Day. My son lives with me full-time. My skids live with us full-time as well and their mom has been off in her own world for years just popping in long enough to ease her own conscience or appease her own parents. Bm has seen them about 6 hours in the last year and a half!
BShe did try to call and make plans so she could take the kids on Mother's Day. But that is MY day...I am their mother in every way but biologically. So we told bm sorry but we already had plans for the day with them. I am sure she was not happy because she wanted to play make-believe for a day and try to fool herself into thinking she is a good mom. But she knows better than to argue it with us because we will tell her what a sorry excuse for a mom she has been for the last 6 or 7 years and she does not want to hear it. Everytime she comes around she wants to pull this "I made mistakes and I have to live with them so let this go" attitude. Since she just keeps repeating the same behaviors there is no accepting that excuse.
Every year on mothers day we go to a nice breakfast or brunch with family and then we usually take the kids to do something fun. It makes me happy to spend the day doing fun things with them all.
We will have SS8 on Mother's Day; he lives with us. I feel perfectly happy about it; he's a great kid and I suspect that DH and he are plotting to make me breakfast or something. He doesn't attach any great importance to who is BM or step-mother or anything else in association with the day- he just likes to "surprise" DH and I on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and help do so on our birthdays. It's great; he thinks he is so clever and tricky and we had no idea at all!
My mother lives out of state and has just returned from her winter house so she's not up for houseguests anyway right now, so I'll speak with her on the phone.
so what is the big deal happytrying, I still don't get it. They live with her and kids will be with dad on his time, and she will relax on Mothers day. what is the problem here?
people who reply to you have their Sks living with them, yours live with mom, are you complaining you stuck with them for the weekend or what?
Are you upset you have to have SS on your regular weekend and would rather he not come and be included in your Mother's Day lunch with your mom? Or are you upset only because SS's mother is not giving you a time schedule?
If SS is going to cry all the evening before, is it because he does not want to maybe miss his sports and may end up doing so or because he does not want to miss the lunch plans?
You're not being very clear.
Are there other children too in your family unit?
Childrens sport games and/or practice on a traditional 'holiday' seems unusual, at least in my area no school or youth group schedules such events on what what people consider traditional holidays. Yeah, I get Mother's Day is no big deal for some, but for many others who might be involved in activity being scheduled it is.
justmetoo: "Childrens sport games and/or practice on a traditional 'holiday' seems unusual, at least in my area no school or youth group schedules such events on what what people consider traditional holidays."
My younger brother's undergrad commencement was held on Mother's Day. It ended up working out for us as only my mom, other brother and I attended, but I thought that that was really bad planning and didn't take into account non-nuclear families at all. For that matter, it didn't take married couples into account; it was held in the afternoon into early evening so that would have made it very difficult to attend and still make it to a mother-in-law's too.
I already got wildflowers for an early Mother's Day present! I had admired them last weekend and SS picked some for me yesterday evening. I am so very lucky to have such a great SS.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 "By the Sea, By the Sea, By the Beautiful Sea" - Harold R. Atteridge,
bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ce commentaire fait référence ŕ cette édition : The Sea and Civilization: A Maritime History of the World (Relié)
I like to collect books on how commodities such as salt, cinnamon, cochineal, and indigo were developed in transported from one location to another. However we need to keep in mind that these products even though might have inspired maritime travel it is secondary to those of the people that actually did the traveling.
Lincoln Paine in "The Sea and Civilization" shows how waterways contributed to spreading many of the great cultures of mankind. One of the main parts of the book are the maps. I have a fair knowledge of where things are in the world of today and the world of antiquity. But without a clear picture the names of places are just that the names of places. So pay close attention to the maps in the book will be even more interesting.
The whole book is interesting but if I had to pick a favorite spot it would be the chapter on "The British Global Trade" once again I find it interesting looking at the maps. Conspicuously missing is the Piri Reis map.
There is an extensive bibliography and enough notes to know that Lincoln Paine knows his maritime history. We can also use the bibliography for further reading. Still this book is so compact with information that you will have to probably reread it to remember the small pieces of information that can easily be overlooked.

Searching for a Benjamin Moore exterior paint color
Hi, we just bought a house and we're looking to repaint our siding. We are going to use Benjamin Moore paint, in some shade of blue. Any ideas for a good blue that would go well with the bricks?
You might look at Buxton Blue which is a lighter shade, or the entire range of blues in the Williamsburg color palette.
As you can tell by your house one of the problems with blue on the exterior is fading, so you may want to consider a blue with a strong gray or green undertone
Here is a link that might be useful: BW Williamsburg Color Collection.
BM Phillipsburg or Van Deusen blues are beautiful. Agree with palimpsest - look at the BM HC blues or the WC (new, gorgeous collection ) colors.
On the WC palette, the Azurite would look good with brick. Don't think any of the other WC blues would work, though.
The ben moore visualizer is a pain, so I went with SW just to give you an idea of colors. Unfortunately I can't operate it well enough to change out the white trim, but this will give you some ideas of color combos and how they might look. I'd definitely paint out the garage door to a color that blends with the brick. I think it looks nice to carry that color up to the shutters for a more cohesive look. This SW color is called drizzle. The brick color is SW roycroft copper red.
I showed the pics to DH and he suggested beefing up the trim around the garage door and think about adding some shutters to the lower window too. I don't know how accessible it is, but I'd like to see a light fixture over the garage door too if it's not a lot of work.
I tried
Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue on the body
Benjamin Moore Carriage Red on the shutters
Benjamin Moore Brickyard Red on the garage door.
White trim
I put wider shutters on the upper story, added shutters to the first floor, and added a light.
I think the garage door may be better blended into the brick, since it really isn't the entryway and is asymmetrically placed.
The mink color picks up one of the brown tones in your brick. I would also paint the garage door in the mink color. If you go with an unrelated color for the siding (blues or greens) I would paint the garage door the trim color or slightly darker than the trim.
I don't know where the current fad came from to paint garage doors to "match or blend" with red brick, but painting garage doors red does not disguise or in any way minimize or blend them in with brick.
Here I did
Benjamin Moore Gunsmith Gray (like the Mink)
Benjamin Moore Azurite on the Shutters.
I did the gray on the garage doors, and tried picking the styles and rails out mid-century style in the azurite. Sort of the opposite of blending in the doors.
This post was edited by palimpsest on Sun, Aug 10, 14 at 13:28
Palimpset, that Gunsmith Gray is such a gorgeous color, don't you think? I notice that you've discovered the WC collection too.
As far as this house goes, I think I'd update it a bit by panting the window grids black.
I hate blue houses! I'm recommending BM Nantucket Gray, which looks great when used outside and goes very well with the brick colors.
When your garage door is 1/4 of your front façade, it makes sense to increase the budget that is spent on it. It might be "just a garage", but it is the first thing people notice when they pull up to your house, so it shouldn't be ignored when you consider your overall curb appeal.
I like a lot of these.So many options, I don't know how we'll decide. It seems like people overwhelmingly like the shutters painted red. I kind of like the white. Definitely agree on the light fixture though and shutters for the lower window. I'll see what my husband thinks. What do you think of BM sioux falls?
newhousef, it's not red, but a brick color so that it ties in the top with the bottom of the house and makes for a more unified look to the facade....the white is a real wash out. I prefer a warmer trim color too as I think it blends better with the brick mortar. Also, the surrounding houses have all white trim, so I think something less white will make your house more standout.
I'm really liking the gunsmith gray with the carriage red shutters and I'm even considering the white/off white for the siding posted by palimpsest at 14:05. Maybe I'll give up on blue altogether. I should mention we're part of an association who has to approve the colors and they prefer a more traditional look. They'd approve only some of the blues. I'll post several pictures; I'm interested in everyone's feedback.
The Gunsmith Gray is part of the Williamsburg collection, and it is really an amazing color, has almost a metallic quality to it.
The Azurite in Palimpsest's mock up is also from the WC.
Can you do a mockup with the siding in Gunsmith Gray with black shutters?
Here is the BM pic showing Gunsmith Gray with black. And black ALWAYS goes with brick. IMO, it's the best color to use with brick.
If you go with a dark red make sure it is intense enough to stand out against the brick.
I wouldn't recommend white shutters. They stand out against the brick but from a historic context you would almost Never see a white shutter on the exterior of a house.
I surprised that you live in a fairly rigid association. Your new house appears in better condition than your neighbors' houses which have some condition issues. Missing shutter, broken railing, mossy roof.
One of the reasons that I left an association was because of the strange application of rules and regs. It kind of depended upon what a particular board member at a particular time was fixated on.
Palimpsest, can you do a mockup using Gunsmith Grey, black shutters, and ivory trim?
Yeah. There are rules for making changes to the houses, and you have to submit your plans. However, I don't think there are any rules (or at least any rules that are enforced) making sure that you maintain your house. There are neighbors (not the immediate two neighbors) whose houses are in really good condition and extremely charming and then there are neighbors who are elderly and not maintaining their homes.

What is 'it' about the clutch players?
What made former Notre Dame quarterback Joe Montana play so calmly in the final seconds of the fourth quarter?
What caused former Ohio State quarterback Craig Krenzel to lead his team to so many comeback victories during the Buckeyes' 2002 national championship season?
What was really running through Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan's veins last season?
If college football coaches knew the answer, they would surely bottle it and pass it on to generations of players to come. But for the most part, coaches really aren't sure what drives the sport's greatest clutch players.
From Montana to Krenzel to Ryan, some college players just thrive under pressure. It is a trait seemingly derived from the same DNA that determines the color of a player's hair and eyes.
"Those guys just have it," Tressel said. "They don't blink."
Krenzel barely blinked during his two seasons as Ohio State's starter. As a sophomore, he was thrust into the starting role when teammate Steve Bellisari was suspended for drunken driving days before the Buckeyes played rival Michigan. Krenzel led the Buckeyes to a 26-20 upset of the No. 11 Wolverines, the Buckeyes' first victory in Ann Arbor since 1987.
Afterward, Krenzel said, "I was surprisingly calm. I was more calm than before my first high school start."
The next season, Krenzel stayed remarkably cool during a series of memorable comebacks. He ran for the winning touchdown in the final minutes of a 23-19 victory over Cincinnati in the opener. Late in the season, when the Buckeyes were trying to remain unbeaten, they trailed Purdue 6-3 late in the fourth quarter. On fourth-and-1, Krenzel threw a 37-yard touchdown to Michael Jenkins with 1:36 left for a 10-6 victory.
Against defending national champion Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, Krenzel led the Buckeyes to a 31-24 upset in two overtimes. He completed only seven passes, but five of his throws were for first downs. He also ran for a game-high 81 yards and two touchdowns.
"A guy like Craig, because he worked so hard to master the things he needed to do, that gave him the confidence for his innate qualities to express themselves," Tressel said. "One of his strengths was his toughness and his belief in himself. He thought, 'Hey, don't worry about it. I'm going to get it done.'"
From the start, Texas coaches knew quarterback Vince Young would get it done when the game was on the line. Young thrived in his biggest games during his college career. When the Longhorns trailed USC 38-26 with less than seven minutes to play in the 2006 Rose Bowl, Young led his team to two touchdowns. His eight-yard scramble with only 19 seconds left delivered a 41-38 victory and the Longhorns' first national title in 35 years.
"I think some guys have a certain calmness and certain confidence about them," Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis said. "I think in some cases they come to school that way. We saw the same things out of Vince when he was at [Houston] Madison High School. We saw him make play after play after play."
Once Young arrived at Texas, Davis said it didn't take long for him to earn the trust of his coaches and teammates. Young's teammates believed in his confidence and calmness as much as his extraordinary ability to scramble and make plays from nothing
"There is a certain confidence and poise and intelligence level that makes those guys successful," Davis said. "Vince was in a class by himself because he had so many tools. Our players were drawn to him early and he had a certain magnetism about him."
Ryan was so calm in pressure situations his Boston College teammates often referred to him as "Matty Ice." The Eagles were ranked No. 2 in the country late last season, but trailed Virginia Tech 10-0 at rainy Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va. After doing nothing for 45 minutes, Ryan threw two touchdowns in the final 2:11 -- the game-winner going to running back Andre Callender with 11 seconds left to beat the Hokies 14-10.
"I think it's innate," Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski said. "I think it's just something a kid has, and the more experiences he has doing it and the more successes he has doing it, he just gets that much more comfortable and confident. Brett Favre was like that. Montana was like that. They wanted the ball in their hands in situations like that. I think a kid either has it or he doesn't."
Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who coached quarterback Peyton Manning at Tennessee and his younger brother Eli at Ole Miss, said coaches can help foster a player's ability to perform under pressure. But it's ultimately up to the player to sink or swim in those situations.
"I think you do coach it into them," Cutcliffe said. "You put them in every situation in practice over and over again. You drill it and you drill it. You never put a kid in a situation in a game that he hasn't seen before. We coach quarterbacks like we coach left tackles. It's not always easy. I try to put a lot of pressure on them."
Quarterbacks aren't the only players who have thrived in clutch situations. Kickers have often stared down game-winning field goals. Cornerbacks are left on an island against a wide receiver with the game on the line. Receivers leap for Hail Mary passes in the final seconds.
"You can certainly help a guy get prepared," Tressel said. "If he's got that makeup and you've prepared him the best you can prepare him, then he's going to have a chance to show that he is a clutch guy."
Or, if you're lucky, one will just show up on campus.
Former Virginia tight end Heath Miller, now a starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers, played so spectacularly in pressure situations that his teammates gave him the moniker "Money."
"Guys like Heath have faced pressure before and have been successful so they expect success," Virginia coach Al Groh said. "He was a very intense player, but he had a calmness about him. It was pretty easy to see that he had that quality very early. Whatever 'it' is -- he's got it."
Whatever "it" really is.

CANNES -- Kornel Mundruczo's "White God," which won top prize in Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard section on Friday, has proved an international sales standout for The Match Factory.
The drama about how a girl's separation from her dog leads to a canine uprising has found buyers in a raft of territories, including France, the U.K., Scandinavia, Benelux, Spain, Greece, Czech and Slovak Republic, Taiwan and South Korea.

Body was in Cannes for the film's premiere and attended the photo-call, walked up the red carpet and appeared on stage - the first dog in Cannes history to do that. Body even shot a video of the Cannes visit, as exclusively revealed in Variety.

05 Jan 2011 06:00 GMT | Asia, India
The top organiser of the Delhi Commonwealth Games has been taken in for questioning by police in a probe into corruption in the October event.
Suresh Kalmadi arrived at the headquarters of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in New Delhi on Wednesday, where he will be quizzed by detectives over suspect contracts.
The Games, which were marred by venue delays and poor organisation, were also hit by claims of massive financial irregularities as the budget ballooned to an estimated $6bn.
In late December, two-and-half months after the end of the event, police raided several residences used by Kalmadi, leading to criticism that the CBI had waited too long to gather evidence.
Kalmadi, a member of the ruling Congress party, has consistently protested his innocence.
"I am ready for any investigation on any issue," he said after his homes were raided on December 24.
"I am not running away," he added. "I am innocent till proven guilty."
The Games' sacked treasurer, M. Jayachandran, and two other officials have been charged by police with corruption.
The October 3-14 Commonwealth Games brought together athletes from 71 countries and territories, mostly from former British colonies.
In the run-up to the games, the organisers of the games had come under harsh criticism over delayed completion of the athletes' village and other facilities. Several prominent athletes had even pulled out of the event, citing health and security concerns.

Anyone recently purchase W.Schillig?
I've seen old posts/reviews on leather sectionals by W.Schillig- from 2006-2010. I saw one negative review from about a year ago I think. (Please direct me to more recent posts if I've missed them). I was wondering if anyone has purchased a W.Schillig sectional in the past few months. I'm close to ordering one, but want to hear from others. There's not much out there on the web about this brand.
Check my recent post to someone's thread re: W. Schillig. We got our FR W. Schillig sectional (from Ambiente Int'l in Raleigh, NC) in Nov 2011. We placed the order in Late June-early July 2011, and I think we actually delayed delivery by a few weeks because we were in the process of renovating the FR (paining, tile floor installed....).
We love both of our W. Schillig sectionals. I've written about the issues our first one had initially, which were resolved to our satisfaction by the store and by W. Schillig.

Another travel day: this time, to Venice. And, ok, maybe there were no planes this day but there will be soon, because we were on the last leg of our trip. :(
Our last morning in Florence, P and I went for a cappuccino and picked up cornettos (I highly recommend the Nutella one, incredible) for the train ride to Venice. Saying goodbye to our awesome apartment, we made the walk to SM Novella station and we were very early -- the walk was so much ...

Rushing back to the hotel to meet the water taxi at 1:30, we went to the Port boarded our cruise ship at 2:00. We officially left the port of Venice around 5:30PM. Regrets? No gelato for Natasha, no gondolier for Mark.

Mass Effect 3
Final topic - Improve a power
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
I think I'm pretty much done with creating topics on this board after this. I still don't mind jumping in on others, but this will probably be my last one. I figured I'd work off of 8bits topic about powers, and how they lack any real uniqueness given many of them utilize the same evolution types (ex. increased damage). The idea is that you improve a power so that it is more unique; this also includes kit specific passives and fitness trees. There's a few basic rules to follow:
1) The amount of ranks and evolutions stays the same. No adding additional ranks.
2) You can change up to three evolutions for one power.
3) You can switch evolutions with one another
I won't be uploading one power day-by-day since that would take too long, so you can pick which power you want. Since I'm making this, I'll probably start off with one to get the ball rolling.
Rank (Original Evolution -> New Evolution)
Inferno Grenade
Rank 4A (Damage -> Micro-canisters)
- Doubles the amount of shrapnel thrown, but reduces DoT by 35%
Rank 5B (Damage -> Immolation)
- An enemy on fire has a 40% chance to light a nearby enemy on fire.
Rank 6B (Radius & Shrapnel -> Molten Pit)
- Shrapnel explosions generate a 2 meter pit of fire for 10 seconds, dealing 500 damage to enemies that enter it.
Gamertag: Biggy DX
Make Warp's cooldown as short as Incinerate's.
Make Reave detonate Tech Bursts too.
Have an Evolution for Biotic Sphere that makes it follow you around like AF.
Make Decoy not Suck.
Make Sabotage not Suck.
Make all Pets be able to prime an explosion (Drone does Incinerate, Cryo Ammo does Cryo, Flamethrower does Fire, etc.).
Make Poison Strike and Dark Sphere (along with the Cabal's and Collector's melees) prime Poison Explosions.
Not changing this sig until the Detroit Lions win the Super Bowl.

Don't they already do this?
Combat Drone primes tech bursts.
Geth Turret primes fire explosions.
Sentry Turret primes fire explosions
Cryo ammo on the sentry turret is the only one that doesn't as far as I know.
Combat Drone and Decoy don't prime anything, and they only detonate with their detonate evos. The drone's chain lightning gives an electric effect to enemies, but it's just visual.
I think cryo ammo primes CEs on fully frozen enemies, but you'd be lucky to have it happen once a match. Flamethrower on the turrets obviously do, but they're pretty inconsistent and don't work on shields/barriers.
I'll think of some later
