By Rhonda Abrams, USA TODAY
This year, of all years, every dollar you save is important. That's particularly true when it comes to taxes. A few steps taken now — before the year ends — can save you money when tax time rolls around.
In this economic climate, some normal year-end tax planning rules are turned upside down. So it's particularly important to talk to your tax adviser to understand your individual situation.
So here are nine last-minute easy steps to take now to lower your taxes next April. Most of the following apply to those who run their businesses on a cash, rather than accrual, basis:
1. Size up your likely bottom line for 2008. Run a quick P&L — or profit and loss or income statement — to figure out whether you made a profit this year and how much of one.
2. Forecast (or more likely, guess) what your 2009 income is going to be. Take a look at your market, your industry, your own plans and get a general sense of whether 2009 is going to be a growth or down year for you.
3.Option A: If 2008 is profitable, especially if it's likely to be better than 2009, follow the basic law of year-end tax planning and "accelerate expenses and delay income."
If you've been fortunate enough to have a good (or decent) year in 2008, you want to follow the time-honored rule of end-of-year tax planning by increasing your deductions and lowering your taxable income — even if it means spending money before Dec. 31. Here's why: Taxes on money you earn on or before Dec. 31, 2008, are due by April 15, 2009. But if you can somehow arrange to have that money received Jan. 1 or later, you don't have to pay taxes on that income until 2010. Obviously, it's better to have that tax money in your pocket rather than Uncle Sam's. In essence, you delay taxes for an entire year on income you've put off receiving until January and get the benefit of deductions a whole year earlier for December expenses.
3.Option B: If 2008 was unprofitable, or it's been profitable but 2009 is going to be much better, then turn that basic rule of tax planning on its head and "accelerate income and delay expenses."
If you know you already have a loss or, perhaps you're in a countercyclical industry, and it looks like 2009 is going to be a banner year, then try to keep as much income in 2008 and push off deductions until January. This will have the result of lowering your 2009 taxable income without having a negative impact on this year's.
4. Be cautious. Even if deferring income is a good tax idea, be careful this year. With current economic conditions, there's greater risk your clients may not be able to pay, may pay far more slowly than usual, or may even close or go bankrupt. In fact, you may want to give customers incentives to pay right now even if it has negative tax consequences. After all, it's far better to pay taxes on income — even at a higher rate — than to lose the income altogether.
Likewise, I'm cautioning you to be particularly conservative about "increasing expenses" even if there's a tax advantage. Guard your cash and credit carefully.
5. If you need to accelerate expenses, here are some to take care of now:
• Pay January mortgage or office rent.
• Prepay state and local taxes.
• Prepay other necessary January expenses.
• Prepay conference registrations and subscriptions.
6. If you need to delay income, don't send out invoices until Jan. 1 or otherwise receive payment until after the first of the year.
7. Open a qualified retirement account. You've got until April to fund it, but you have to have it established before the end of this year.
8. Call your tax adviser today. Yes, I know it's the end of the year, but many CPAs are in their offices because their clients are calling.
9. Make charitable contributions. Don't forget that charitable gifts are tax deductible. This year, charities are hurting when the needs are greatest. Share the holiday spirit with those in need.

We are just days away from BlacKOut Fighting Championship 13 in Carthage, Missouri. With over 12 regional champions, 2 title fights, and top talent from throughout the Midwest this is an event that YOU CANNOT MISS. The event will be available on GFL.tv for only $14.99 and you can get your tickets at www.cagetix.com/BFC.
Cage of Honor Champion and top featherweight Teejay Britton (5-1) will be taking on Oklahoma Native and Sugar Creek Showdown Bantamweight champion Hector Arteaga (7-2).
Teejay 'BAD NEWZ' Britton has been very successful at Featherweight but has decided to make the cut to 135 because bigger fighters tend to try to hold him down. Teejay is 6'4? and is going to have a reach advantage on pretty much anyone in the division. Teejay will have the hometown crowd on his side and plans on putting on a show for all his family and fans in attendance. Hector Arteaga is looking to upset the crowd and get a win in order to move one step closer to the title. Hector recently won the Sugar Creek Showdown Bantamweight title and is on a roll right now. Both these guys just want to be tested and this fight is going to be a great fight to see where they stand in the Bantamweight division.
In the Co-Main Event UCW strawweight champion Miles"The Warrior"Mcdonald (12-2) will be fighting SPIRE MMA #4 ranked flyweight Kendrick Latchman (9-3) for the Inaugural BFC Strawweight title.
There's only a few promotions that currently have a strawweight division so BFC wanted to have a platform for the smaller guys to fight. When I say small guys, I'm talking about 115 pounds. These guys are going to be lightning fast and moving around the cage so damn fast that you better not blink. #4 ranked Kendrick Latchman will be traveling from St. Louis to take on UCW strawweight Champion Miles "The Warrior"McDonald. Latchman has never fought at 115 and has had to fight at 125, 135, 145 and even 155 in order to get a fight so it's nice to see that he has an opportunity to fight at a weight that he will be comfortable with. This fight will determine the #1 strawweight in Missouri and the first ever BFC Strawweight Champion.
BlacKOut Fighting Championship Womens Title will be up for grabs in this fight between Krystal 'The List' McGuire (4-1) and Blair Patton (1-0).
Blaire Patton (1-0) was willing to fight any female in her weight class that wanted to step up and fight because there's not too many female fighters out there that didn't already have fights scheduled or wanted to fight her. Krystal 'The List' McGuire has been searching for title fights and she's in luck because Promoter Travis Couter wanted to make it a "night of Champions" so he decided to make this fight for Inaugural BFC Womens Title.
Former ShoFIGHT Featherweight champ Aaron Roberson (7-3) vs Robert Mayes (8-3)
Aaron Roberson has had the worst luck with opponents no showing or backing out of fights and planned on going pro several months ago but was sidelined by an injury. Aaron Roberson is one of the best Featherweights in the Midwest and plans on moving one step closer to another amateur title or the pro ranks after this fight. Robert Mayes promises he will show up. If Robert Mayes gets a win over Roberson in this fight that will be huge for him but it's not going to be easy.
CITC Featherweight Champ Hardy Friely vs XCC Bantamweight Champ Kory Jamal II
There has been a lot of trash talk in this fight. Hardy Friely and Kory Jamal have fought before and Hardy got the submission win in the 1st round and is probably looking to do the same thing in this fight. Kory Jamal has made a lot of improvements since that fight and we might just see a different outcome here. I know both these guys plan on coming here and finishing the fight so this will be one hell of a grudge match.
155- David Woodall (4-1) vs. Fred Freeman
David Woodall is a very exciting striker but has finished most of his fights via submission. Fred Freeman stepped up on short notice and I'm not really to familiar with him but I know he comes Modern Combat Systems, which is a legit gym so I expect him to be a very game opponent for David Woodall.
125- UCW flyweight champ James Gerkey (4-0) vs. Brad Richy (2-0)
Army Combatives fighter Brad Richy is looking to make a name for himself in this fight by taking on undefeated UCW flyweight champion James "BEEF" Gerkey. Brad Richy is going to want to keep this fight standing if he expects to get a win because Gerkey is very dangerous on the ground.
155- CITC Lightweight Champ Caleb Dye (10-4) vs Kyleb Collins (11-5)
Caleb 'Bulldog' Dye is returning to the cage after taking a very long break due to several injuries and is looking to get a win and secure his spot in the BFC Lightweight Grand Prix. Kyleb Collins is on a losing streak and looking to get back in the winning column. Both guys are hungry for wins which makes this fight one of the best fights of the night.
170- Michael Heckert (2-1) vs Dalton Cummings (1-0)
Michael Heckert is one of the most athletic and dedicated fighters I have ever seen in the sport and he is only 18 years old. His striking is on point and he improves every single time he fights. Dalton Cummings is coming off a quick win in his debut and he has very good wrestling and is just athletic as Michael Heckert so this fight could go either way. No matter what the outcome of this fight both will have a bright future in this sport.
185- Joshua Rector vs. Brandon Collins
One armed fighter and Iraq War veteran Joshua Rector will be making his debut against Brandon Collins (debut).
Joshua Rector is an amputee and is ready to make his debut following in the footsteps of other fighters like Keith Miner and Nick Newell. Joshua has won medals in several grappling tournaments and his coach felt like it is the right time for him to make his debut. It was not easy finding an opponent for Joshua because "noone wants to beat up a one armed guy" but Brandon Collins decided to take the fight because he didn't want a veteran who has served our country to go out without a fight. Much respect to both fighters in this fight.
155- Frank Byers (1-0) vs Greg Owens (3-0)
Frank 'The Tank' Byers got his 1st win at BlacKOut Fighting Championship in Fort Scott, Kansas and instantly became a fan favorite because of the respect and class he has inside the cage. Greg Owens is undefeated and has won every fight by Guillotine choke. Both guys are very good on the ground and I expect to see a battle on the mat.
135- Isaac Badger (5-2) vs Seth Mitchell (2-1)
Isaac Badger has been boxing for several years and recently got into MMA. He was originally supposed to fight Anthony Lupica but Lupica had to pull out of the fight and he is now fighting Seth Mitchell. Seth is a well-rounded fighter that will fight anyone you ask him to without any questions asked.
HW- Doug Dainty (1-4) vs AJ Smith (0-1)
The Heavyweights will be rattling the cage in this fight between 2 fighters needing wins. Doug Dainty is a guy who has stepped up on short notice to fight and had matchmakers switch his opponents at the last minute and is hungry for this win at BFC 13. AJ Smith also fought a beast in his first fight and we think this is a great opportunity for 2 guys with "hardluck records" to get a win.
135- Hector Friely (1-2) vs James Van Hauenstein (1-1)
Hector stepped up on short notice to fight Tyler Jensen, who backed out of the fight so it left Hector without an opponent. James Van Hauenstein decided he would step up and take the fight. Both guys are new to the sport and looking to get a win here.
175- Blaine Dye (debut) vs Cory Haumann (0-2)
Blaine Dye is making his debut against Cory Haumann in this match up of newcomers to the sport.

text: NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Plantation, FL-based Solstice Benefits, Inc. (Solstice) featured in the inaugural ranking of Inc.'s Hire Power Awards, recognizing the private businesses that have generated the most jobs in the past three years. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111020/FL90549LOGO ) Solstice generated 49 jobs from 2008 to 2011, placing it among the 10 private business job creators within the Insurance Industry, showing a three-year employee growth of 181 percent. "When many companies are downsizing in this economy, it is very exciting to see that Solstice continues to grow. Solstice has a very unique family-like corporate culture and we have welcomed many bright and talented individuals to our organization and into the Solstice family," said Carlos Ferrera, COO at Solstice. "The greatest honor for us was learning that the Hire Power award, as INC described, paid tribute to 'the real heroes of the American economy.' Solstice is grateful to receive this significant distinction." Inc. is the only major business media brand aimed solely at CEOs of fast-growing private companies. The Hire Power Awards will appear in Inc.'s December/January issue, as well as the brand's web site, www.inc.com. "The top 100 companies on the list have created 73,032 American jobs in the three-year period from 2008 to 2011 – an amazing feat, given that much of that job growth came during the heart of the recession," explains Inc. editor-in-chief Eric Schurenberg. "And it isn't just the big guys that are adding jobs. Companies with less than $50 million in annual revenue make up nearly one-third of the Hire Power list." The inaugural Inc. Hire Power Awards are sponsored by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which is proud to recognize American companies that have greatly increased their workforces. Inc.'s Hire Power Awards celebrates private companies on the forefront of American job creation, giving these businesses the recognition they deserve.

A year in, we have a grasp of whether the Cameron government is localist or centralist.
I don't mean localist in the sense of devolving powers. That one has already largely been settled. The decision to abolish the Audit Commission told us all we need to know. Killing the quango is not leading to more freedom for local authorities. Instead, ministers and their Whitehall officials are striving to maintain controls, after the Commission's disappearance. The Commission is dead; long live a weird and wonderful set of arrangements in which the 'burden' of audit and inspection looks as onerous as ever. The 'armchair auditor' was never and perhaps never intended to be a doable policy.
So leave councils aside. The government is centralist in a simpler sense. It has, it's true, abandoned numerical targets of the kind the Blair and Brown governments loved. But in its place have come straightforward command and control. 'Thou shalt not', Francis Maude has said to departments - thou shalt not spend on consultants, nor on marketing. Thou shalt, he said, procure on Cabinet Office templates and follow its strict lines on pay and personnel.
The biblical language isn't mine. Ian Watmore, the permanent secretary assigned to the efficiency agenda in the Cabinet Office, used those phrases to characterise the control aspirations of Whitehall's centre.
Centralisation has 'worked' in the basic sense that departments have fallen in with the Treasury's spending plans; they are delivering the cuts.
But the 'how' of the cuts is something else. The government is coming to terms with a painful fact: cutting spending does not lead to greater efficiency, defined as more output for the same or less input. The Cameron cabinet seems no nearer solving the conundrum of late 20th century British government – how to bring departments and agencies in line with edicts from the 'centre'.
There's the other enduring problem. Tensions between Treasury, Cabinet Office and Prime Minister's office continue: 'the centre' is divided and often incoherent. Departments get on with it.
Take the ban on consultancy. Did it ever apply to health? During the past couple of weeks I have seen specifications for at least half a dozen new consultancy contracts, half of them in the health service. NHS 'reform' is the most outstanding example of disjunction between the general ambition of securing greater value for money and the shape of the policy the government is actually following.
But the fact that other departments (including Business, Innovation and Skills) are engaging consultants shows the iron fist of the Efficiency and Reform Group is not quite as clenched as it was last summer. Departments and agencies are once again spending on marketing and events, though discreetly. We've yet to see the first year figures for efficiency savings that can fairly be attributed to the Maude initiatives but already it is hard to resist the sense of steam running out and the old departmentalism reasserting itself.
There is talk of the ERG being disbanded, perhaps for good reason. Watmore has tried to implement the Maude edicts by centralising Whitehall property, personnel and procurement, but Treasury cuts have taken precedence, often harming departments' capacity to plan or deploy people in pursuit of efficiency.
In SocietyGuardian, Patrick Butler notes the weakness of forces pushing for efficiency and productivity gains in local government. That is becoming evident at the centre, too.
It was inevitable that as ministers bedded in they would get more interested in the substance of policy, less concerned with the nuts and bolts of the machine or the relationship between costs and outputs. That would not matter so much if efficiency had been institutionalised inside the Cabinet Office. After 12 months, it's hard to conclude that has happened.

Pumpkins drained of their spice by poachers, demand ethically sourced #PumpkinSpice in your community to stop these brutal practices. pic.twitter.com/eEvXhO4SMm— John Edmondson (@Spideridol) October 14, 2016

The Perilous Whiteness of Pumpkins
"This article examines the symbolic whiteness associated with pumpkins in the contemporary United States. Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte, a widely circulated essay in McSweeney's on "Decorative Gourd Season," pumpkins in aspirational lifestyle magazines, and the reality television show Punkin Chunkin provide entry points into whiteness–pumpkin connections. Such analysis illuminates how class, gender, place, and especially race are employed in popular media and marketing of food and flavor; it suggests complicated interplay among food, leisure, labor, nostalgia, and race. Pumpkins in popular culture also reveal contemporary racial and class coding of rural versus urban places. Accumulation of critical, relational, and contextual analyses, including things seemingly as innocuous as pumpkins, points the way to a food studies of humanities and geography. When considered vis-à-vis violence and activism that incorporated pumpkins, these analyses point toward the perils of equating pumpkins and whiteness."
Mr. Leunny, he KNOWS.ReplyDelete
Dunno what those punkins are moaning about, they're obviously free-range.ReplyDelete
Some vegetables are never satisfied. Just look at the WP and the NYT.

St. Joseph's Healthcare System in Paterson, NJ, is a leading provider of healthcare services in northern New Jersey. St. Joseph's operates multiple facilities, including an academic tertiary regional medical center, a comprehensive state designated children's hospital, an acute care community hospital, a long-term skilled nursing home, and numerous ambulatory sites located throughout the region.
Tom Moore is systems coordinator in St. Joseph's Security/Safety Department, overseeing technology and assisting the security department across all hospital campuses. "St. Joseph's Healthcare System continues to grow in size and scope of service," says Moore. "We recently completed construction of a 183,000 foot Critical Care Building on the Paterson campus and have opened new pediatric facilities in Hoboken and Paramus."
When the hospital decided to update and standardize video surveillance and physical access control across all facilities, customization was a primary concern. After implementing exacq® Technologies exacqVision® Video Management System, the hospital chose to implement IDenticard's PremiSys™ Access Control System. PremiSys is a highly-scalable system that fully integrates with exacqVision video and Schlage® AD-400 wireless locks, and features dynamic mapping, email notification, ID badging, photo recall, cardholder reporting and scheduler. It also integrates seamlessly with Mercury® Security hardware.
"The PremiSys system integrates well with exacq, giving us the ability to fully customize our system," says Moore. "It gives us all of the features we want and the greatest options to support our organization's ongoing expansion."
"Integrating PremiSys and exacq gives us eyes on the situation with the ability to simultaneously view live and historical video side-by-side. We can manage full access control from the same console," notes Moore. "Once we had the PremiSys Mobile App onboard, we could take management capabilities into the field with a smartphone, giving us full control of situations from any location."
Setting Standards for Identification and Access
In conjunction with its IDenticard access control system, St. Joseph's also chose to consolidate management of all employee ID badges with IDenticard PremiSys ID™ server-based badging software and badges. With input from multiple departments, the Human Resources Department created a standardized badge design that could be further customized as needed.
Today, St. Joseph's Healthcare System's Human Resources Department uses PremiSys ID to output customized badges and manage employee access by facility, department, floor, door, elevator, day, and time. Cardholder access can be updated in the system at any time, specific to the changing needs and requirements of each department and supervisor.
The hospital issues visitor badges for in-and-out vendors. However, recurring vendors are required to go through an orientation and receive photo IDs so the hospital can manage their access across all facilities.
"The different departments throughout St. Joseph's are happier with our new access control capabilities," says Moore. "It's very beneficial to have the ability to provide access only to authorized employees and vendors.
"St. Joseph's recently opened a new Critical Care Building that houses the Emergency Department and has a state-of-the-art helipad on the roof. We have to restrict access to those who are specially trained. An integration between the elevator company and PremiSys enables us to allow or restrict access to particular floors based on an individual's department, job function, training and work schedule. As you can imagine, people are intrigued with the helipad, and some try very hard to find their way up, but PremiSys helps us monitor and control who can go up there and when. This is especially important with the helipad to ensure everyone's safety."
Working with the New PremiSys System
"Now, our access control and camera system links via our network servers, covering our entire extended campus," says Moore. "PremiSys gave us the ability to customize a wide range of functions. Once we got used to our new options, we quickly realized that they made life a whole lot easier.
"Putting both systems together has really given us the opportunity to be on top of it. Now we have flat-screen monitors with the software and cameras all over the place, including nurse desk stations. With my cameras, I can view locations across the entire hospital. exacqVision gives us eyes where we need them in any situation so we can actually monitor what happens. We can even compare historical video with live viewing as it unfolds, and PremiSys gives us the ability to take control of the situation."
Mobile Apps – Right There in Your Hands
"With the addition of PremiSys and exacqVision mobile apps, we have all the technology that the entire security system needs, right there in our hands," says Moore. "It has simplified our abilities to troubleshoot, with both visibility and control right at our fingertips."
That functionality has simplified Moore's life in unexpected ways, too. "I used to get phone calls, at home at all hours when something was down or not working properly. There were many steps and multiple logins before I could begin troubleshooting. Now I just turn on my smartphone or tablet, click on the app and I'm in."
Unintended Benefits – Reducing Claims, Losses, and Fraud
Moore notes that the PremiSys / exacqVision system has given St. Joseph's a better opportunity to customize the monitoring of exterior perimeter areas that just couldn't be accomplished with the previous system. As a result, the hospital has experienced some unintended benefits. Moore explains, "In addition to monitoring for visitor and patient safety, our system enables us to hone in on any potential burglaries and prevent false claims for lawsuits."
St. Joseph's also uses this new system to audit other system entries to ensure an accurate record of time and activities, reports Moore. For example, employees use their badges to clock in and out of the system, enabling accurate accounting of hours.
Growing Pains
Integrating a new system in the midst of ongoing construction across multiple new buildings and campuses has added challenges to the transition, Moore says. "We've installed five controllers in the area and have more than 150 doors. Most hospitals have some employees who can work across departments. We have about 12,000 people who are overseen by our system and it just keeps growing. Some employees work across multiple locations so the logistics for assigning and maintaining access are far more complicated. But our new system is a lot more user friendly."
Access control for every one of the hospital's campuses is linked via network servers. The entire access control and camera system is linked so Moore can control everything from the main servers in one centralized location.
Integrating for Future Needs
Implementing PremiSys and exacqVision with mobile apps has given Moore and the hospital an entirely new perspective on security and access control. "The mobile apps make it possible to do anything you need to do remotely – and instantly – on your cell phone or tablet," says Moore. "For me, the larger-size of a tablet makes it a lot easier to log in, run full reports, check cameras, and if needed, I can even send footage."
Moore believes that it's important to stay on top of technology and to think ahead to future needs and requirements when considering a new system. "The PremiSys system is very, very customizable – to whatever your needs are. You can train it to do whatever you want it to do within its limits. If we want it to go beyond its limits, we can contact IDenticard and their engineers will work with us to update the system or build it with a future PremiSys update. PremiSys is constantly evolving with updates."
Research thoroughly, recommends Moore. "In the end, the best system choice you can make is the one that will be most customizable to your current needs, with the technology and support to serve you throughout the long haul."
IDenticard has been a leader in the manufacturing of identification and security products for more than 40 years. A division of Brady Corp (NYSE: BRC) with offices in both the United States and Canada, IDenticard is proud to serve over 22,000 customers around the world, including federal agencies, hospitals, universities and multiple Fortune 500 companies. IDenticard's mission is to offer unparalleled sales, service and support to all of our customers.

The singer, who is already employing divorce lawyers to deal with his marriage split and planning experts over a log cabin he built illegally, is now embroiled in a further legal row over the effect London's Crossrail project could have on his Soho recording studio.
McCartney, 64, fears two high-speed tracks could pass directly below his offices, disrupting recording sessions and potentially making the whole building unsafe. He has fired off an objection to the £ 16billion rail scheme.
The former Beatle also sent a letter to MPs demanding assurances he will not be forced to sell his base and insisting he receive compensation should the scheme go ahead.
In the letter opposing the Crossrail Bill, his lawyers claim his "musical and recording activities are susceptible to interference".
The scheme for a high-speed rail line running from Maidenhead to Shenfield, through central London, was first mooted in 1989 and has attracted widespread political support but no commitment from successive governments to pick up the ever-increasing bill.
Mayor Ken Livingstone says it is a "national priority" and more important to the capital than the 2012 Olympics.
But it is unlikely to be completed until 2015 at the earliest, with more than £400 million in public money having been spent on preparing the ground.
MPs have already criticised Crossrail's promoters for creating confusion over which properties will be affected, with the Government now preparing to amend the plan for a third time.
This latest dispute comes on top of McCartney's increasingly acrimonious-divorce from Heather Mills. He is said to have offered his second wife a £40 million settlement and has instructed Fiona Shackleton, the divorce lawyer who acted for Prince Charles and has earned the nickname "The Steel Magnolia".
Ms Mills responded by retaining the services of the lawyer who acted for Princess Diana, Anthony Julius.
In a third piece of legal manoeuvring-McCartney is also engaged in a battle with planning authorities over a two-bedroom wooden lodge and pavilion he built four years ago in the grounds of his Peasmarsh estate in East Sussex.
He failed to get planning permission for the £1 million buildings and Rother District Council has demanded they be torn down on the grounds that they "harm the intrinsic landscape quality".

Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM)
Definition - What does Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM) mean?
Cubic feet per minute (CFM) is a volumetric unit of measurement while expressing gas, air or liquid flow. CFM is mainly used in measurement of ventilation engineering and industrial hygiene. It states the volumetric rate of flow of any gas or air in or out of a space. The higher the CFM coefficient, the more the amount of air or gas is being pushed through that space. 1 CFM is approximately 0.47 liter per second.
Safeopedia explains Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM)
To calculate air flow in CFM, the following equation may be used.
Q = V x A
Q = air flow in CFM
V = flow velocity in feet per minute
A = duct cross sectional area
CFM is rather a confusing term. It has no standardization. Basically, CFM means cubic feet per minute, but gasses get compressed at the exit if it is smaller than entrance. Again, if the gas temperature is more at the exit, then more volume of air or gas will leave the space, but not necessarily the mass. Exhaust fan also will pump a constant volume of air though not mass at any other air density.

When the time runs out switch seats and the next player can have a turn destroying the city.
Players will grab a controller (up to 4) to start the local split screen. One player will be in VR. Each player for the split screen experience will press the A Button to indicate that they are ready.
Once each player is ready the game will begin.
There is a 10 second window where the VR character is unable to see the other players so they can hide. The monster character will be able to start smashing the city and hunting for players.

Chapter 8: Tough Lover
Dawn came; from all the doomsaying she'd heard over the night, Cascata supposed she ought to be surprised. She didn't know victory could ever be so gloomy.
Well, they did have a point. It wasn't so much the victory as it was the price. The clan had experienced several expensive victories lately, and this was the costliest. The trend couldn't continue. Cascata would see what she could do about that.
As sensational as some of them were, the clan had finally managed to sleep. Their fear must not have translated into insomnia. As usual, the only civilian she encountered in her morning rounds was Idris.
"Oi Lad. Should ya be movin' already?"
"Turns out it was nothing to worry about," Idris shrugged. "That spine was long enough to hit the heart, but it didn't. I guess he just couldn't push through that mess between the ribs."
That seemed unlikely, but Cascata wasn't there to see it and Idris was understandably traumatized at the time. Whatever the case, she was relieved.
"Glad ta hear that. I'm told th' heart's kinda important," Cascata clapped him on the shoulder.
He laughed. "That's what they tell me. Have you seen Jaquan? He wasn't in the apprentice tent."
That could be a problem. Cascata doubted he was brave enough to go anywhere dangerous, but still… "Nah, ain't seen 'im. This unlike 'im?"
"Not really," Idris admitted. "But he was acting weird after the battle. Not like I blame him, but it does have me a little worried."
"Weird how?" Cascata asked.
"Quiet and hard-to-find weird." Idris replied.
Shoulda known. "Ah'll send him yer way when I'm done wit' 'im. I wanna have Kirana give 'im her thoughts on his arch'ry. May as well get that started now."
"Alright. Thanks Matron."
She mussed his hair and moved on. Where would that squirt go when he was upset? Historically, the answer was 'to Idris.' If he was avoiding his favorite brother on purpose, something had to be wrong.
The Elder told Cascata all about the pair when she suggested they become warrior apprentices. Cascata had a good laugh when she heard about how the nurses first paired them together. They kept having to save Jaquan from an unending sequence of imaginary crises, and Idris was causing constant panics when a nursery headcount came up short because he was napping while the group moved on.
Someone finally realized they should put the human dynamo and his toys next to the human sedative, and they'd been inseparable ever since. It wasn't long before they could just lay a blanket down with a few hours worth of easier craftswork, and leave the pair be for half a day. Even the adults found sleepy Idris to be a relaxing presence, so he was like an insatiable leech for Jaquan's anxiety. Likewise, Jaquan's boundless enthusiasm kept Idris engaged.
Even when Idris's sleeping problems began and the Elder had him start sleeping in the sun, Jaquan likened the bigger boy to a sleeping bear and felt safest making his crafts next to him. The success of the pairing inspired the nurses to experiment grouping other children into groups of complementary personalities.
Cascata doubted they had a particular affinity for war, but who ever did? She thought of that boy she killed when the Breathers attacked; The type ya shouldn't let make war, that's who. The clan needed warriors, so affinity or no, the cooperative apprentice-age boys made good candidates. She hoped they would forgive her.
She'd wandered through most of the camp and still hadn't found Jaquan. What had him so bothered? The answer could be any of too many possibilities: the boy most scared of dying had just been confronted with the most credible threat to his life yet. The clan just lost a lot of good people, and for all Cascata knew, some of them were especially dear to him. Plus, his best friend was injured by a monster right in front of him.
Hm. Now it feels like I'm gettin' somewhere.
She spun on her heel and headed towards the woods. If Jaquan was avoiding Idris, it probably had everything to do with Idris. The boy's personality was nothing like hers, so she wasn't sure how Idris's injury affected him. She may not understand 'why,' but at least she knew 'what.'
Once free of the tents and waking family, it was easy to spot him a short distance down the slope. He stood staring at the forest, shivering a little in the morning chill.
"Hey lad," she greeted, stopping next to him.
"This is the closest I can get." He said, nodding at the woods. "Even one step further and I just shut down."
"Good," Cascata knocked on his head like she would a door. "Ya got no business in there. Wouldn't do nobody no good."
"How do you do it, matron?" he asked. "How do you turn you fear off."
"I 'unno how other people do. I just don't think I feel it like you do."
"So I'm just not good enough…"
"Who says yer way's worse'n mine? I ain't sure bein' numb ta fear means I'm better, what math led ya to think that?"
"Idris almost died because I was too scared to move!"
"Nuh-uh," Cascata denied. "Idris almost died 'cause he wrestled a monster."
"If I weren't such a coward, if I could have held my bow steady, maybe I could have helped him!"
"And if ya farted fire, we wouldn't need flint and tinder no more."
Jaquan jerked his head to look at her like she was insane.
"It's true, ain't it? The fantasy don't do us no good, though. Maybe if you'da shot the critter, you'da saved Id. Or maybe you'd have just ticked it off and died too. There's a lot coulda happened diff'rent. If my choice were 'both you an' Idris die' or 'one of you dies and one of you runs away,' I choose th' second one. By my math, that means the coward's better than th' brave one."
"Then why even bother making me your apprentice?!" Jaquan demanded. "Why pretend I can do something you know I can't?!"
"I can't teach ya ta fart fire. I bet somebody can, but I don't know 'em. I can teach ya ta save Idris from monsters, though. I just ain't had the time yet. The whole point is: there's lots o' things people can't do just by bein' people. Learnin' ain't instant. Quit settin' dumb stand'rds fer yerself and quit bein' dramatic."
"Yeah? It'll all be okay if I just trust in you and wait? Does that make it your fault if I fail next time and Idris dies?"
"Only if I'm the one tha' killed him. I gotta take the blame fer e'eryone that dies while I'm alive? Are me hunters't died last night my fault too? People die. Ain't nobody I ever heard of was so good they lived forever and saved everyone else while they was at it. 'ave you? Is that th' person ya tryin' to model after?"
Jaquan just glared at her, but she had his attention.
"If I was proper scared, I might be able to use me right arm," Cascata rubbed her shoulder where Stinger's claws were still buried. "I did the best I could with me numbness, though. Jus' do the best ya can with yer sens'tivity and find a way ta do yer duty tha' makes use of it. 'cause one day, somethin' or other's gonna kill Idris and somethin's gonna kill you and hopefully sooner'n both o' them, somethin's gonna kill me. Ain't gonna be shame in any one o' those deaths or for any o' the survivors, 'cause e'ery other person ever was an' ever will be gonna join ya in dyin'."
Jaquan sighed, and the indignance faded. "You're not as bad at math as I would have thought."
Cascata grinned at him. "That had some sass in it. That takes some bravery too, ya know."
"You don't scare me, mum," he turned and hugged her around the waist.
This wasn't Cascata's specialty, but it wasn't unpleasant. She squeezed the shrimp back. "Tha's alright. You'll learn ta be brave, you'll learn how ta shoot when Idris is dumb enough ta wrestle somethin' he shouldn't, and more than anything, you'll learn ta fear me."
"Challenge accepted, on all counts."
"Alrigh', good. Idris was lookin' for ya. Go sing 'im a lullaby or whatever, I got stuff ta do."
"I know. Farting fire, right? You'll share the secret when you've mastered it?"
"Right on yer face, when ye're asleep. Git on, squirt!"
That was one task off the list. Cascata wondered where Kirana was. They hadn't finalized the plans for their defense, and Kirana's experience from the last battle might be exploited.
Cascata found her breaking fast with Evan and Nuray by the remains of last night's fire.
"Ya had ta see it," Evan said. "Ya gave me the opening! Right under the mand'ble, remember?"
"No, Evan. I didn't see you, and I don't believe you." Kirana didn't look up from her food.
"It's a neat idea at least, Evan," Nuray teased. "Put it ta use next time!"
"I will! In front o' both o' ya, and I'll save th' jawbone an' wear it as a tiara so Kirana don't forget the next damn mornin'!"
"Great plan there, Princess Evan," Cascata said. "I was beginnin' ta worry we'd run outta stuff to make fun of ya for."
"Mornin' Cas!" Evan could be graceful about the teasing, when he felt like it. "Wan' some grub?"
"Yep, but I got some 'structions for Kirana first. Ya mind, Kira?"
"'s gotta be more interesting than Evan's valor fantasies." She grunted as she stood. Evan stuck his tongue out at her and stole her leftovers.
"Whatcha need, boss?" Kirana asked when they were far enough away.
"Was thinkin' 'bout that blabbermouth ya met last night." Cascata said.
"Yeah? Wanna see if they'll trade fer Evan?"
"There's no way they'd agree," Cascata chuckled. "Was more thinkin' you use them ears o' yours an' find 'im again."
"Want his head?"
"Nah, wancha ta see if he'll negotiate with ya."
"'e wouldn't tell me why they attacked, why'd he cooperate now?"
"'cause 'e was under threat. Ya didn' promise 'im nothin'. See if we got somethin' 'e wants. See if he cares 'bout 'is fellow monster. See if sweet talk works where hard talk don't."
"Might wanna send a sweeter talker'n me, then," Kirana cracked her knuckles. "I ain't gonna tolerate much hagglin'."
"Then don't. I can't send a babysitter with nobody, it's gotta be somebody who can take care o' themself and somebody who knows what they lookin' for. Ya ain't gotta act like somebody else, jus' think about whether he's really wronged ya and, if not, what kinda chance ya'd give 'im."
"Easy enough. Ya ain't gonna complain if it goes bad an' he dies?"
"Nah. If we both live through this, I won't have nothin' ta complain about. If we both die, I won't be around ta complain. Ya can't lose."
