Maintaining the proper temperature and humidity is important when incubating eggs. This guide is about caring for duck eggs.
By Darrell M. 1
My two female ducks just started laying in the coop. It is winter in Kansas. I would like to gather them and put them in an incubator to hatch. However, by the time I get to the coop in the mornings to gather the eggs they are very cold. I immediately bring them into the house, but will they incubate and hatch since they were cold for several hours?
January 1, 2016
No. The eggs must be kept at a constant temperature and turned sometimes. Can you trick one of your ducks into laying on a warm heating pad?
I wonder why the ducks aren't sitting on the eggs to keep them warm. They're supposed to do this.
By Monte 1
I noticed this morning that a mallard hen made a nest in my backyard. This afternoon I had a yard service put mulch down. When I got home the duck was gone and the eggs were covered with mulch. I uncovered them and I really hope she'll come back! Do you think she will return? How long will the eggs be OK without her setting on the nest?

I agree, please contact your local fish and wildlife office, they may have some ideas. Good luck

I found an egg the size of a chicken egg lying in a creek today. I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of egg it is and how to look after it. It was really cold so I ran it under some warm water. I hope it's okay. Now I just have it in a blanket under a lamp.
I don't know what to do next!
Kind Regards.

Sadly, I agree with the previous posters. I think it is very likely that the embryo in that egg is dead. If it was in water and very cold, that would kill it. I have hatched chicken eggs in an incubator in a school science lab, and they need a constant warm temp, a fairly high humidity, and need to be turned twice a day. It takes about 22 days, if I remember correctly, maybe longer.
Yesterday I found 4 duck eggs and I have been watching them. The mother hasn't come back, so I took them into my house and I am keeping them warm. I need to know when they are going to hatch, which then leads me to needing to know how old they are. Does anyone know how to tell how old an egg is?

Take a toilet paper core, the egg and a flashlight into a dark closet. Egg in one end flashlight at the bottom and you will see if there is a youngster developing in there. Call wildlife rescue in your area as there are all sorts of things that are needed for developing eggs. They have to have proper temperature, proper moisture, proper turning.
Should they hatch, do not help them by peeling shell away. That kills them as they bleed very easily. Please call wildlife rescue if you want them to live. Ask at your local feed store if they know someone to help you.
We live on a golf course, and a few weeks ago a duck laid its eggs in a neighbor's empty clay flower pot filled with some dirt on her front porch. She has been sitting on them, but today it rained all afternoon, and when we went over to check, the eggs were floating in water in the pot. We removed the eggs, put in fresh warm potting soil and moved the pot under the porch awning where the pot would stay dry.
At first the mother would not come under the porch. She stayed where the pot had been in the rain. i showed her the pot with the eggs, and she immediately hissed at me and jumped in the pot and my husband moved it back under the porch. She stayed in the pot while he moved it, of course hissing and trying to bite the whole time.
Will she continue to lay on these eggs even though the pot has been moved? We have checked from a distance several times, and she is still there.

We get ducks nesting in the yard often, and I believe she will continue to sit on them. I am very surprised she sat in the pot while your hubby moved it. LOL. That must have been a sight. When the babies hatch, she will most likely have them moved before you will ever get a good look at them. That's usually what happens to me. They always seem to hatch while I'm at work. :(
My 6 year old son found an egg, a duck egg. He brought it home. We have it under a light. But we want to know how long would it take for it to hatch?
By Anthony D.
March 16, 2014
If you just have it under a light, it most likely will not hatch. They have to be kept at a stead 99.5 degrees and with a humidity of 55%. They also have to be turned at least 4 times a day. Then, if all conditions are just right, most breeds hatch in about 28 days. The humidity sometimes needs to be changed as well, depending on the duck breed.
We have a mallard duck sitting outside our living room window. She has 8 eggs and has been sitting on them for 4 weeks. What is the incubation time for them?
By Lyn
We had a mallard hen lay 11 eggs, 1 was broken. She sat and hardly ever left. We thought they would start hatching about the 4th. We've been checking off and on. She was there Monday! Today she is not there and 3 shells are broken there is down in the nest.

I don't know for sure, but I get Birds and Blooms Magazine and read it cover to cover every time. If I remember correctly, one of the articles said that they do come back. She may be coming back at night and leaving in the morning to eat. You can try taking one egg and try hatching it yourself but these efforts usually do not come to fruitation unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing. So if you try it, don't be too disappointed if the egg does not hatch.

We have a wild duck on our boat. She laid 7 eggs. How long does it take for them to hatch? When we use the boat she takes off. She seems to come back and sit on them.
By Cheryl from MI
July 27, 2013
They will take 28-35 days to hatch. Sorry, but I wouldn't take the boat out until they hatch. They need to stay at an almost constant temperature in order to hatch. It's good the mother comes back, but the mother needs to sit on her eggs almost all the time. Good luck! Maybe you will be able to see the ducklings if they hatch.

About 3 days ago we noticed baby Mallard eggs in our front garden, there are 6-7 eggs. I think 3 or 4 are cracked and 3 are still good, 2 are in the nest under a bush and 1 rolled under some leaves. I haven't seen the mother at all in the pass 3 days. The eggs haven't been incubated and I don't know if they are fertile. What do I do to check if they are? And if they are, what do I do to keep them alive?
How do I take care of duck eggs that were in the water?
By Nathan I.
How will you know when to stop turning it? I don't know how many days the duck egg has been sat on by their mom, but it is definitely alive. I have candled it. Why does the egg shell have a hairline crack? Everyday I notice a crack. I heard it chirping (if that's the word for it) 4 days ago then it stopped.
By Donna Dee
If I handled the eggs to see if they are fertile will my duck hen still care for them?
By Travis
At my school we have 4 mallard ducks, 2 males and 2 females. I know the hens are laying eggs; they had about 7 nests. Now they finally picked one nest. So they have been sitting on the nest for about 20 days. One day when I went to school in the morning. I saw some egg shell on the floor then I went to see if they were OK. When I got there I saw them and they were OK. I went to put out the water and food for them to eat and drink. When I went to look around I saw about 11 egg shells with dead baby ducks inside. That was very sad for me. I went to see the hens and I looked in the nest and saw only 5 eggs and they usually had 20 eggs. My question is what should I do to stop animals eating the duck eggs. Please help. Thank you, A duck lover.

One more urine usage; you can use it to flush out deep cuts and wounds. The force of the stream helps remove debris and it's actually sterile.
My home remedy for sinus infections is to simmer plantain leaves (plantago spp) in water until it turns green. Filter, allow to cool, then place in spray bottle. 2-3 squirts each side twice a day clears it right up. I've had that work when anitbiotics would not. Plantain has very good anti-bacterial properties and is good for open sores, cuts and wounds as well. For bee stings just chew a leaf and place on sting, in 5 minutes you will forget it ever happened. Did I mention that ticks don't like plantain? Just like for the sinuses, boil some down and place in spray bottle. Squirt this liberally over shoes and pant legs (it will stain green!), this is the only non-toxic method I know for keeping even seed ticks off.
I swear this plant is amazing and grows in everyone's yard. Or if you're hungry you can just eat it.
What survival book are you referring to that you found whoshotJR?

Targeted Marketing:
The presentation folder is a must for a sales kit, or media kit. Customize the contents by using different inserts for different clients.
Sometimes called Presentation Folders or sales folders, these continue to be the most requested format for larger brochure design. Pocket folders measure 9 by 12 inches and include one or two 4-inch pockets on the inside. One pocket usually includes slits for a business card.
The design is great for adding marketing sell sheets and inserts. This gives you the most flexibility as you can inexpensively reprint pieces that changes frequently without having to throw away the entire brochure. Perfect for a media sales kit.
Use the inside left panel to provide your customers with general company information that you do not anticipate changing. If you need additional space for this kind of information, additional spreads can be stapled inside.
This design has universal appeal for all industries who are interested in portraying a professional image, including banks, technology companies, law firms, manufacturers, distributors, insurance companies, construction companies, and more. It's a good format for trade shows and conventions.
Your initial print cost
for a folder is higher
than a traditional
brochure, but you can
make that up in the
longterm by saving on

inserts you need

2010 is shaping up to be a year of fierce collaborations for Nicki Minaj . Not only has the hard-edged MC teamed up with musical femme fatale Rihanna twice, but she also is featured on [artist id="1244412″]Keyshia Cole[/artist]'s latest track, "I Ain't Thru," off the singer's as-yet-untitled December release.
Cole told MTV News on the Los Angeles set of the video for "I Ain't Thru" that Nicki's contribution to the track sort of came together at the last minute. "I had recorded it as one of the first songs on the album, but I never really finished it," Cole explained. "And then I called her and I was like, 'We should do a song together.' And when she came through I played it. I said, 'I did something a long time ago and I don't know if you might like it, but my manager thinks this is dope.' And I played it and she liked it."
The track is about a woman who, despite facing some adversity, isn't done just yet. And Cole maintained that having someone as equally fierce as herself on the track made for a perfect collaboration. "You know what? [Nicki's] dope," she said. "I'm excited that a new female rapper is on the scene. She's very creative. She has a lot of attitude and I just think it's dope and I definitely wanted to be down with it and I wanted her on the album."
The two have only known each other for a few months, but, according to Cole, they clicked pretty instantly when they hit the studio together. "It was dope [in the studio]. She's very, very professional. She sat in the corner and wrote her part and then actually she wrote two raps to the song," Cole confided. "She actually did one verse and was like, 'Keyshia, I think I can do so much better.' And I was like, 'Absolutely not — it's dope and leave it the way it is.' And then I saw her again and she was like, 'Please, just let me do my thing,' and I was like, 'absolutely,' 'cause I understand where she comes from."
Cole's forthcoming album is due out on December 21.

Egypt's Morsi orders retirement of defense minister, chief of staff, names VPQuicklink submitted by Rob Kall Permalink

|WaPost reports:
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi announced Sunday that he was sacking the country's two top military chiefs, a provocative move that could provoke a backlash from the military amid a contentious debate over presidential powers.
Morsi, the country's first Islamist statesman, also announced he was suspending a constitutional decree the country's generals passed on the eve of his election in June that sharply reduced the powers of the presidency and gave the military vast authority.
The president also ordered the Air Force, Air Defense and Navy commanders to retire. Morsi also announced that he has selected senior judge Mahmoud Mekki as the country's vice president.
It was not immediately clear whether the country's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, whose members have long viewed Morsi suspiciously, agreed to the reshuffle.

Afonso Augusto Moreira Pena (Portuguese: [aˈfõsu awˈɡustu moˈrejrɐ ˈpenɐ]; 30 November 1847 – 14 June 1909) was a Brazilian politician who served as President of Brazil between 1906 and 1909. Before his political career, Pena had been an attorney, legal scholar and member of the Brazilian Supreme Court.[1] He was the first President to die in office.
Pena began his political career in 1874 with an election to the Imperial General Assembly. In the succeeding years, Pena reconciled legislative work with some periods occupying secretariats—secretary of Agriculture (1882), Commerce and Public Issues (1883) and Justice (1885). Pena then presided over the provincial assembly of Minas Gerais.
After the proclamation of the Republic, he was governor of Minas Gerais between 1892 and 1894. It was during his administration that Belo Horizonte was set for the future state capital (which at that time was Ouro Preto). He ran in the presidential election of 1894, but lost by a large margin to Prudente de Morais.
In 1902 Pena became Vice President to Francisco de Paula Rodrigues Alves. He was elected president in 1906 and served until his death in 1909, a few days after the passing of his son Álvaro Pena.
Afonso Pena was the first Brazilian president to advocate intervening in the coffee economy. The federal government started to buy production surplus, thus maintaining the high price of coffee in international markets. Pena also promoted the expansion of railroads.
The reorganization of the Brazilian army was done by Hermes Rodrigues da Fonseca during the Pena administration. The president also supported Cândido Rondon's expeditions in the Amazon Rainforest.

Much expected of Cubs' newcomers
Heyward, Lackey and Zobrist added to team coming off 97-win season
After winning 97 games in 2015, the Cubs didn't need to make too many changes on the roster for this season. The goal was to find the right players to fill in the gaps.
This offseason, the Cubs spent $272 million on three free agents -- Jason Heyward, John Lackey and Ben Zobrist -- and added some pitching depth via trade with the acquisition of Adam Warren. As the countdown to Spring Training continues, here's a look at some of the new Cubs who will be playing at Wrigley Field in 2016.

Dr. Meghani teaches a core course in the Palliative Care Minor, N567: An Evidence Based Approach to Managing Symptoms in Advanced Illness. While the course focuses on the best current evidence on palliative symptom management, it also demonstrates through discourse, debates, and case-studies the tentativeness of evidence and social constructions shaping palliative care science, practice, and policy. The course appeals to students across master's programs ranging from pediatric to geriatric majors. Students receive this course very enthusiastically, as reflected in the comments: "This is, by far, the best course I have taken in my master's program"; "This course really should be required for the program..."; "Learned more critical clinical information in this class than almost any other during my master's." Dr. Meghani also teaches a core doctoral course, N754: Quantitative Research Design and Methods- another course that is extremely well-received by the students. Students comment: "incredibly thorough, very knowledgeable and totally accessible". "She has raised the bar in terms of quality of the work we will produce in future."
Dr. Meghani was recognized for her teaching excellence through the Department's prestigious Anne Keane Teaching Award given "in recognition of distinguished teaching that is intellectually demanding and permanent in its effect." Students recognize Dr. Meghani as "extremely intellectual but yet entirely approachable."
Dr. Meghani's independent program of research focuses on understanding and addressing sources of disparities in pain treatment among vulnerable populations. Her scholarship has focused on 1) understanding patient-provider level factors contributing to clinical disparities in pain outcomes, 2) developing interventions towards ameliorating cancer pain disparities, and 3) contributing to a national agenda to identify macro-level policy targets to ameliorate pain care disparities in the United States. These targets offer great opportunity to narrow the gap in pain-related clinical outcomes among racially and economically disparate groups.
As a Principal Investigator, Dr. Meghani has secured several extramural grants including a Mentored Research Scientist Development Award (NIH 1K01NR010886) and the highly competitive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Challenge Grant (NIH 1RC1NR011591). This latter NIH mechanism had a success rate of less than 1%. This longitudinal study leveraged methods from behavioral economics and patient-reported outcomes to understand sources of clinical disparities, preference-formation, consequent drug taking behavior, and clinical outcomes among cancer patients.
Besides NIH, Dr. Meghani has received competitive research funding from the American Cancer Society/Abramson Cancer Center IRG; Institute of Aging/Penn Minority Aging Research for Community Health; Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion; Oncology Nursing Society Foundation; Ortho-McNeil Janssen Scientific Affairs.

Re: Rocks
Its impossible to get a realistic look without Sculpting software and A baked normal map. :/
Re: Rocks
I have tried to bake my maps with CrazyBump, but if I use the normal maps created with CrazyBump Imy rocks are looking very stange.
The first image is without a normal map, the second picture is with a normal map:
Does anyone now how to solve this problem?
Re: Rocks
Exactly, that should be your reference model.
Rocks are good though they are a bit too soft, too curved.. you know, thousands of different rocks exist, depending on the rain/snow/water in the area, yours are just 1 single kind (e.g. definitely not mediterranean ones).
If you're also going to create other kind of rocks.. well that would be a great job imho
Re: Rocks
keep on improving Agion cause it looks very promising
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Re: Rocks
Yes indeed, don't give up.. Its a touchy science.. A lot of work has to go into rocks for a realistic look, and even more for stylized.. The best thing you can do is Look up reference and attempt to capture the shapes of the rocks, then Lower the polycount to keep the shape correct. takes some hand work, but soon it will become 2nd nature for you.

Awesome. Some type-o's on the page at the moment.
Awesome. Some type-o's on the page at the moment.
I just want to voice my hope that in the New Marvel Universe that we get a better Hank Pym. Before his mental and relationship problems in the 70s, he was a pretty heroic character, albeit uncomfortable as a hero. As a person suffering from mental illness myself, I'd like to see him as a model of someone who can still succeed despite the difficulties. I'd like to see him and Wasp together again, and have it work out albeit with occasional difficulties because of his illness.
@riczar1 I agree completely, the man is a hero, a founding Avenger who has not gotten the treatment he deserves. I hope the new MU is a fresh start for him.
He is pretty awesome!If want to checkout some good stories with him,I recommend the 2008/2009/2010 MIght Avengers and The Avengers academy stories.They are pretty good.

I learned today about an area in Greater Los Angeles that is new to us. Learned by finding a parking place there last night and walking around and driving around the neighborhood to check it out.
Diane and I woke up this morning in this area. We are here because today's pick up is nearby. The freight was supposed to pick up at 10:00 a.m. but that got bumped to 3:00 p.m.
We learned that when we called the shipper to verify pick up details. Calling ahead like that is different than it was with our former carrier. At our former carrier drivers were discouraged from calling shippers and consignees. Agents and dispatchers communicated with customers and drivers went where they were told when they were told.
Had we been with our former carrier today, we would have arrived at the shipper at 10:00 a.m. in a tight area where there was no safe place to park. We would have been told then that the pick up time was bumped to 3:00 and sent away. With our present carrier, we called ahead, stayed put in a good parking place and got paid detention time for the delay.
With a 10:00 a.m. pick up, there was a good chance that we could get to the Oklahoma delivery in time to get the freight off the truck late Wednesday afternoon. When the pick up bumped to 3:00 p.m. the delivery bumped to Thursday morning. That was not significant. It is highly unlikely that we would be dispatched out of Oklahoma that time of day. The pick up bump means a good night's sleep awaits in Oklahoma.

Best Clothes for Your Dog (2006)
If there's one thing every dog loves, it's wearing clothes. And in Houston, your best selection is at this venerable chain, which carries a bounty of haute couture for Fluffy and Rex. This summer, why not treat your bitch to a striped tennis dress or a cool zebra-print affair? For your he-dog, try out a fresh velour hoodie or bandanna. And when it's bedtime, have your loved ones curl up in comfy fleece pajamas. T-shirts, vests, lifejackets, sweaters everything a dog or small quadruped child could want. The quality is high, but you won't have to worry about Armani prices. Now there's no excuse to show up to the park with a nekkid pooch!

Age discrimination has been around for quite awhile but is more noticeable now esp. in certain industries.
The tech industry sure has a lot of "intelligent" people who are also very arrogant, selfish, greedy and narcissistic. Those younger workers don't even think about tomorrow when, in a few years, THEY will be the ones who are older and will face the discrimination that they gave to their seniors. Screw them!

I find this to be a wonderful idea and while not sure it would work with every group, I feel this is a wonderful way to begin a new campaign and set things in motion. Some groups like mine would balk at running parts of a story that regardless of their actions the end result is nearly set but over all this is a grand idea. Welcome and kudos.
Having started my own campaign books via Moonhunter's example I can see a nice use for this. Its always helpful and handy to have for those who are absent minded like myself especially when you have players who never forget anything. I agree with this.
I actually have nothing to say on this. I think it baffled me.
Now oddly enough as much as I love dragons I have never had a single one in any game I have ever ran. And as much as I shy away from the 30 subs this one drew me in instantly.
I like 3 and 22 both entertaining and easy to use.
Ok major things I wish to learn more about...
Who is the Witch, or a witch as it seemed a title to me and not just a position.
The Fog of Rigor... very intriguing name...
The Conclave and the Blackened Church...
ll in all though... damn good job. Very colorful in flavor.

A characterisation of oscillations in the discrete two-dimensional convection-diffusion equation
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: It is well known that discrete solutions to the convection-diffusion equation contain nonphysical oscillations when boundary layers are present but not resolved by the discretisation. However, except for one-dimensional problems, there is little analysis of this phenomenon. In this paper, we present an analysis of the two-dimensional problem with constant flow aligned with the grid, based on a Fourier decomposition of the discrete solution. For Galerkin bilinear finite element discretisations, we derive closed form expressions for the Fourier coefficients, showing them to be weighted sums of certain functions which are oscillatory when the mesh Péclet number is large. The oscillatory functions are determined as solutions to a set of three-term recurrences, and the weights are determined by the boundary conditions. These expressions are then used to characterise the oscillations of the discrete solution in terms of the mesh Péclet number and boundary conditions of the problem.

You will always be at the top of our list to recommend!
Thanks again for everything, it is behind us and I cannot tell you what a load off that is, so thank you, thank you, thank you! I promise to always throw your name out there if I hear of someone wanting to buy or sell!
Thanks again!
It was Thanksgiving week and we were on our way south. Approaching retirement, we thought we'd take a look at the real estate possibilities in Florida. Along the drive south we stopped to visit our friends the Eustis', who had been bragging about the lovely location they call home, Keowee Key. Instantly, we were enamored by the natural beauty of the preserved woods and the winding roads within the gates of Keowee Key.
We never did make it to Florida that Thanksgiving. Instead, we met with Robert Mixon of Bob Hill Realty. I don't know how we lucked out, but we could not have asked for a kinder or more patient agent. Robert listened carefully to our expectations of our future home and helped us make appropriate selections of houses to view. He was so attentive to our needs yet gave us ample space to explore all possibilities with each house we visited. It wasn't a normal thanksgiving vacation looking at real estate all week, but more out of the ordinary we found an agent that was giving up his thanksgiving to accommodate us! That was definitely beyond the call of duty.
Robert Mixon did lead us to our dream home. It's funny, I'm sure he knew it was perfect for us before we did. We will forever be grateful for his guidance through the negotiations, inspections and the closing of our Stillwater Bay home. Even though his work with us is done, he continues to stay in touch. We have relied on Robert's knowledge of our community, neighboring counties and state affairs. We both are so pleased to have found a dear friend in our realtor.

August 20th 2009
Published: August 20th 2009
Well, my roadtrip thus far has been as grand an adventure as one can expect 4,000 miles to be. Our first stop was Chicago to visit Doug, where he humored my Pad Thai craving and took us to a Thai restaurant up the street called "dib." The food was pretty inexpensive, but it was beautiful. Never have I eaten such aesthetically pleasing food, and I was not expecting it from a place that sells $7 Pad Thai (though the inside was decorated quite well, so I shouldn't have been surprised). I forgot my camera when we went to dib, but Doug took pictures with his iPhone (thanks Doug!), so I'll post them. Then, we went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and picked up some gelato at the gelato counter in his schmancy grocery store up the street. I opted for the non-dairy option of watermelon Italian ice and was pleased I did because it was excellent. (As you can probably already tell, this will probably be a journal just as much about the food I eat as what I did, haha.) Then, we grabbed stuff for breakfast in the morning, dropped it off, and walked to the lake. It wasn't as close as I expected it to be, but it wasn't far either. We walked far enough so we could see the city lights from the lake (my camera wouldn't take pics good enough to post though because the light wasn't right). The park closes at eleven so we only stayed a bit because soon a cop was driving through the park annoyingly blaring his/her sirens in order to get everyone out of the park. The next morning we ate the bagels and English muffins Doug had got for breakfast (and had the very necessary diet soda of course), showered, and said our goodbyes. It was definitely a great first stop.
We didn't get too far past Chicago when we heard a clang and pulled over to check it out. The car was making a really loud noise and it was obvious it was from the exhaust. We pulled off the highway and went in search of open car repair places. We asked at gas stations and Auto Zone, but nobody thought anything would be open because it was Sunday. The jerky guy at Auto Zone tried to say that it was just a hole in the exhaust and that we could drive it as long as we want, it would just be loud. Well, that was not a good enough answer for me seeing as we had to go 4,000 miles and I did not want to go on the word of this employee who may or may not know anything about cars. Then we stopped at Wal-Mart to see if their Tire and Lube people did any exhaust work, but to no avail. A nice mechanic there said that we could drive it a ways but that eventually we would need it fixed (meaning we should not drive it to Topeka, KS). So we made reservations for a hotel in Bloomington, figuring it was a little over a hundred miles out and that we could make it there and see what we should do next. But alas, as we were driving to the highway in the next town from where we were originally, we came upon a car repair shop that was open. (I will not name the name of this establishment for reasons that will soon be unfolded to you.) We went in, ask if they do exhaust work, and the guy said they did some. He asked what the problem was, what car it was, and where we were going. After telling him the story, he agreed to look at it, even though he was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to get the parts that day. He looked at it, said that it was indeed a hole in one of the exhaust pipes, and that in order to fix it, we'd have to replace the hole system. Or he gave us another option, to go pick up some muffler tape, which would make the exhaust system last for a few months longer. He said that if we picked it up, he'd throw it on there, but that he couldn't charge me because his corporate business would only support the replacement of the entire system and that if he were to charge us, he could lose his job. No problem with us of course, as muffler tape is about $4 and a new system would have been $600 with labor. So we picked up the tape (at a different Auto Zone), he threw it on, and we were on our way by 5 p.m. We decided to cancel our Bloomington reservation and take the risk of driving eight hours to Topeka. And that we did.
However, driving to Topeka was not a simple task. There may not have been a tornado, but let me tell you, the Wizard of Oz is not joking. The weather in Kansas was absolutely INSANE. It started with what we thought was probably heat lightening because it was just constant and not accompanied by thunder. In some parts, however, it must not have been heat lightening because all of a sudden the lightening was green and we were experiencing torrential downpour. You might ask why we didn't just pull over, and the answer is because it was so frightening that it seemed to make more sense to me to drive through it as quickly and safely as I could because pulling over did not seem any safer. We would not have gotten to a hotel until much later and in my mind, could have been struck by green lightening. It didn't rain the whole way, but when it rained...well, it poured. Finally we made it to Topeka sometime between two and three, causing us to sleep so late that we missed check out at noon! That totally foiled my plan of checking out at eleven and going to eat some bbq before we got on the road, so we decided to shower and check out at one, and then get bbq takeout. We could not just go to the land of bbq and leave without bbq, that would be terrible. So we did just that, and got our takeout from a place called Pat's Pig. Not knowing what we were doing, we ordered two half racks of the long ends. We picked up our food and it was nearly $30! I wasn't mad because I knew I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and as our food required a large handle bag, I had a premonition that maybe we had gotten ourselves in over our heads, haha. And indeed, we got in the car, opened the first carryout box (which probably weighed like eight pounds), and to our amazement, we had more ribs than we ever could have imagined ordering! Obviously, I took pictures and will post them. Multiply that giant box by two and that is how much we had. Also, we somehow managed to eat bbq in the car without spilling on ourselves (the first time). We couldn't even get through one box between the two of us, and were glad we had a cooler full of ice and large ziplock bags in which we could put the leftovers. So, with a cooler full of delicious ribs, we were on our way to Gunnison, CO.
We arrived in Gunnison around midnightish (a reasonable time in comparison with the night before), but not without scores of effort. We were driving along, taking our directions from Shaniqua (the name we have given the GPS voice), and all of a sudden we were on a winding road with no street lights. My eyes adjusted and I thought that would be the end of it, when all of a sudden we were surrounded by mountains on both sides (mountains that were less than ten feet from my car). We could barely even see these mountains because the only light was the light from my car (apparently native Coloradoins must be smart enough to stay off these mountainous roads at night), and the "falling rock" signs every two miles were really kind of freaking us out because, again, we had no idea what to expect. But alas, we made it safely, particularly after stopping at a 7-11 that was like two feet from a mountain and picking up some diet sodas for their caffeine content. The hostel was cute and clean; it was a house that the owner (who was seemingly just older than college age) had turned into a hostel. The owner doesn't stay there and nobody else had it booked for the night, so we had a whole house to ourselves. Not that there was anything to do but sleep since it was midnight and our nerves were shot from the mountains, haha. There was a cute cat there named Porkchop who was quite the meower. Then we woke up, got ready, and were out the door by 10:30. The owner said that we would be going past Black Canyon on our way to Utah, so we decided we had enough time to stop and check it out. It was amazing! We hiked through it a little bit and stopped for a picnic lunch of cold leftover ribs. It was probably one of the most surprising and breath-taking experiences of our trip because we had no idea it was there, that we were going to see it, nor what it looked like (all the other places I had seen pictures of online). So I took lots of pics, and we were on our way by 1:15 to Bryce Canyon, UT.

Customer Reviews
One note, the angle of the cutting edge is several degrees steeper than most knives so they have to be sharpened by someone who knows what they're doing. Shun offers free sharpening, you have to pay for shipping. They're supposed to hold an edge well, so sharpening should be infrequent.
Questions & Answers
I'd like to get this set to complement my growing collection, but I'm not sure if my current knives will fit in the block. I have four, ranging in length from 3- to 8-inch. How many extra slots are there
I'm wondering if the utility knife included in the set has a serrated or scalloped blade?

Journal of Narrative Theory
Volume 42, Number 2, Summer 2012
pp. 149-165 | 10.1353/jnt.2012.0003
In narrative terms, the transition from Victorian tale to modern short story in Anglophone literature has often been characterized as a movement from 'telling' to 'showing.' Anthony Alpers refers to this development as "getting rid of the narrator" (The Life 238), while Clare Hanson describes it as moving "from 'teller' to indirect free narration, and from 'tale' to 'text,'" as part of a larger shift from "'discourse' to 'image' in the art and literature of the period" (1). In the nineteenth-century tale, indeed, a first-person narrator—often a polished version of the author (Shaw 114–15)—guides the reader through the story, guaranteeing its authenticity and providing a certain moral framework. The hallmark of most nineteenth-century tales, this narrative mode is reminiscent of the tale's origins in communal, oral storytelling traditions. A desire to question narrative authority and remove the teller gradually from the tale characterizes the so-called modern short story, the origins of which—at least in Britain—are usually traced to the 1880s. Early experiments with this other narrative mode, in which focalization alternates with narration,1 can be found in the proto-impressionist psychological sketches of George Egerton, Hubert Crackanthorpe, Ella D'Arcy, and Ernest Dowson (Korte 103–107; Malcolm and Malcolm 12–13). Yet only with the figural narration of James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and—especially—Katherine Mansfield does the modern short story really come into its own. In such a story, the narrator virtually disappears behind the characters' voice and inner consciousness, mostly rendered through free indirect discourse. In the absence of a narrator to guide, instruct, or communicate with the reader, the emphasis invariably shifts from plot and (moral) message to suggestion, symbolism, and mood. This modernist development in the shaping of the short story, in which Mansfield played a crucial role (Dunn 202, Van Gunsteren 108–115), became especially influential, to the extent that focalization, interior monologue, symbolism, epiphany, and slice-of-life are still among the defining features of the short story today.
Nevertheless, this general development should not make us forget that proto-modernist and modernist writers also adopted other narrative modes to turn the moralizing and plot-bound Victorian tale into a literary form suited to the modern age and its aesthetics. Indeed, several writers experimented with first-person narration, the reigning mode of the nineteenth-century tale: Rudyard Kipling introduced uncertainty and ellipsis in his otherwise traditional and plot-bound first-person narratives; Joseph Conrad undermined narrative authority by multiplying his narrators and narrative frames; and Virginia Woolf staged excessively hesitant and self-reflexive narrators in stories such as "An Unfinished Novel," "The Mark on the Wall," or "The Lady in the Looking-Glass." Mansfield's short fiction contains a surprising number of first-person narratives as well—surprising, because her short stories are, like those of Joyce, often cited as textbook examples of free indirect discourse and focalization. Moreover, in the span of her short career, Mansfield's first-person narratives undergo a considerable alteration: from satirical and autobiographical first-person narration to a subtle and highly flexible narrative form that perfectly realizes her poetics of impassioned objectivity and cultivation of an intensely felt impersonal style (Head 110; Coelsch-Foisner 98–99). Mansfield's short fiction thus shows that the short story's movement from telling to showing need not involve the extinction of the narrative 'I.'
The "Vignettes" and other prose poems that Mansfield wrote and, to some extent published, in 1907 are the first texts in which an 'I' appears. Yet because of their poetical quality (they are collected in Vincent O'Sullivan's edition of Mansfield's poetry) and relative absence of narrative development, their 'I' resembles more the 'I' of lyrical poetry than that of an actual first-person narrator. As in lyrical poetry, moreover, the speaker seems quite close to the actual author. Several small details suggest this connection: "Vignette III" alludes to Mansfield's cello, and "Vere" in "Westminster Cathedral" and "Carlotta" in "Summer in Winter" refer to actual persons (86). In general, the "Vignettes" revolve around small anecdotes set recognizably either in London (the Mews and Westminster Cathedral) or in Wellington (the Botanical Gardens and the...
