Somebody must have invented the term tour de force to describe what Susan Baer Collins does in "August: Osage County."
If this first drama of the 2012-13 season isn't the best of the year, I can't wait to see what is. There's not a weak link in this largely veteran cast, or a missed emotional beat in Amy Lane's sensitive direction and spot-on staging.
Collins plays pill-addicted Violet Weston, matriarch of an incredibly messed up Oklahoma family in Tracy Letts' Pulizter-winning play, which opened Friday at the Omaha Community Playhouse.
Except she doesn't really play her. She becomes this monster/victim. And it's scary-awesome. Collins' carefully calibrated scenes range from heartless cruelty to searing regret, lucid conversation to stumbling incoherence. She's so convincing within seconds of her entrance, wobbly Violet approaching a staircase raised an audible wave of alarm in the audience.
Violet's alcoholic husband, Beverly, has gone missing. Her three daughters and sister rush to the rambling family home (terrific scenic design by Jim Othuse) with husbands, boyfriends and even a teen granddaughter in tow.
Nobody is spared as long-kept family secrets spill out, old scores get settled and the family stumbles into an uncertain future. Dirty laundry isn't just aired, it's shredded and then burned.
It's painful to watch as these deeply human characters scratch and claw, emotions made raw by a pileup of personal and family crises.
It's also extremely funny. Letts has leavened this sticky mess with black humor, much of it profane and scarring — but a Wednesday preview audience couldn't help laughing out loud. A lot.
Letts folds in plot twists at regular intervals, and you could hear the audience gasp with each new reveal. The intimate playing area, with seats on three sides, becomes electric as emotions bounce from players to audience and back again.
The Westons are so combative that, at the the top of Act 2, three arguments rage simultaneously as the family prepares to sit down to dinner.
And the dinner itself is one of the most mesmerizing scenes this reviewer has seen on a local stage. Violet goes on the attack, picking off family members one by one until a brawl spills out of the dining room, across the living room and up the stairs.
Why should you want to see this? Great acting, as good as local community theater ever gets. Great writing, on a par with "Long Day's Journey Into Night" or "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" And for the resonance of family dynamics you know well in this extreme example of coming together and falling apart.
From small parts (Bill Hutson as witty half-drunk Beverly, Rachel Kirwan as a fly-on-the-wall caregiver) to leads (Moira Mangiameli at her considerable best as Vi's angry daughter Barbara) and everyone in between (Kim Jubenville as Vi's shrewish sister, Randy Vest as her voice-of-reason husband, Laura Leininger as Vi's self-absorbed and self-deluded daughter — honestly, all of them), this cast delivers both the comedic and dramatic goods.
Especially Mangiameli and Collins. Watching these two gifted actresses square off again and again, you can't help thinking each has elevated the other to new heights. It's heavy adult fare, but it's also can't miss theater for fans of live drama.

Should probably get one of these things up (that's what she said). Put up a new comic last week and we've got a new comic this week. Both Mass Effect related! As much as EA is an albatross for this series I do love Mass Effect. Playing through ME3 right now and for the most part positive. Keeping multiplayer "Galactic Readiness" is a bit tedious (OCD demands 100%!) but it's enjoyable. I hate losing war assets due to not having bought some DLC, and having some choices REALLY matter while others don't is annoying. BUT. I love the characters, the writing, and the combat is tight. About half way through so I haven't gotten to the infamous bad ending yet. Maybe if I take long enough they'll have a new ending out before I complete it. One thing I miss that I removed from the site is the featured comic. What I planned on doing instead is talking about it in a news post. THEN I NEVER DID. EVER. Lets fix that. The first round are a few shows I love watching while I get comics done. Basically all the guys over at Normal Boots. Continue and JonTron being my personal favorites. All different takes on reviewing new and old games, all highly entertaining. If you've got some time to kill do check them out. Also; Dear Nintendo, make this happen:
Whoops! Almost forgot to do a newpost this week. Had another comic up this past Monday. That's three Mondays in a row! Will I make it four? Probably not! Scrapped one I was working on and haven't had much time to devote to drawing this week. So we'll see. Anyway, I was going to talk about Mass Effect 3 and it's issues with their DLC and ending. As well their lack of response regarding it but, as of Wednesday we have a response. Granted this is only about the ending and doesn't address anything else but hey, it's something. This is a bit silly though. Now on a personal note (two personal notes). Friend of mine Mike Moore (and Caldwell) is working on agame, Prof. Cat's Mazing Machine, and he's got a kickstarter going over here. Lots of different tiers for contribution. So if puzzle games interest you, check it out. As well I did the forward to Fred's book Sure to be Ban'd Year One. It's a first year compilation of his comic over here.
New Comic! On a Monday?! AGAIN?! Someone call hell and see if they've frozen over. Then Gabe to see if Half-life episode 3 is out. Then hell again to see if it exits. I sure hope it doesn't. Gonna try and get a Super Effective out finally this week, HERE'S HOPING! ( It's not a funny one so don't actually get your hopes up! ) ( Sorry! :( )
New Comic! Started working on it just after the last one... two weeks agoish? Wish I'd gotten it out a bit sooner (as to be a bit more relevant) but I'm happy with how it turned out. So about The Tester, I guess it's in it's third season now which is a shock to me. Available exclusive to PSN. Because you know, everyone is dying to licence this stellar program. Egoraptor is really the only reason to watch any of it but even he can't save this train wreck. Truth be told I only skimmed through an episode. I don't think I could make it through the whole thing. This show is a fucking endurance match. It's like you've had the 5 alarm chili, and you're gripped on the edge of the toilet just WAITING for death's sweet release. TLDR? Go watch Egoraptor's cartoons instead. However if you want to check out the first episode of The Teaster season 3 you can do so here (and the part about the comic here). Also here's Pinkie Pie as Navi.
Put up a new comic a few days ago. Was drawing this before the Mass Effect 3 demo came out so I messed up on the Krogan female a bit. SPEAKING OF WHICH. The Mass Effect 3 demo is out on Xbox, PS3, and PC and it's quite fun. The demo covers two single player levels and some basic online multiplayer. For the single player nothing really changed from the last game, it's just been added to. We've got a new melee feature which is a welcome addition. As well you can check out the tweeked engineer class. Fighting using turrets and drones is great when you're a shitty shot like me. The two single player levels are the intro and rescue mission with your old teammates from the previous games (if they're still alive). Not too long, not too short, and gives you a nice feel for the game. The multiplayer was surprisingly fun. When I first heard about it I was skeptical but it's won me over. The mode we have in the demo is a co-op horde mode with occasional objectives. I don't think I'll be straying far from this when the game comes out. I just can't do competitive these days. In all I can't wait to play the full game Oh hey, DID SOMEONE SAY NEW VGCATS AWNN?! Also its been a while since we've had some neat links to check out up in here. SO HERE YOU GO. New One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 minute video, SHED.MOV, Skyrim and Spaaaaaaaace, TF2 goes French(Flight of the Concords), Link to the AWesome, and an older video but still quite amazing; This is Aperture. Lastly Super Effective is coming. Just finding time to work on it. D:
Did someone say new comic? YUUUUUP. I really can't wait until the newborn phase gets a regular sleep pattern. Got time to work on these in between shifts so each of us can sleep. Little hour to two hour spurts days apart. ALAS, first world problems. Omahdon's got a new audio adaptation. I love this way more than I should. I'm not saying erection but there's a tingle. I really do need to spend some time and play games though. If he's passed out on me I'll play some Saints Row 3 just because it's so easy to get into and stop. Far from a deep game but that's honestly not a bad thing. It's nice to have an over the top, arcade, fun for all to play if that's all you've got time for. Would I say buy it? Yeah sure, it's short but it's quite fun. Quite a few games I have but haven't really touched yet. Dark Souls, Dynasty Gundam 3, Skyward Sword. I made the mistake of registering Knights of the Old Republic. That free month went by without so much as a force push. One game I'm REALLY looking forward to and hope it sees a North America launch is A Dynasty Warriors One Piece game. The first trailer is here, the second one (and MUCH better) is here. From what I've read and seen it'll be covering all the events from the first chapter to New World. As well ALL the current crew will be playable. One Piece works so well in a Dynasty Warriors format it's criminal. It's had a few games on Wii that were flashy to watch but pretty boring to play. This new one for PS3 looks like a welcome turn around. It just better have Big Emperor. That's enough of me ranting. Also don't forget books!
Holy carp and trout! I haven't made a news post in a while. Had a new comic up before christmas and then promptly got very busy being a new dad! It's just been a mad house of poop and urine ever since. Oh and the sleep deprivation. OH THE SLEEP DEPRIVATION. You always hear it's a bit of a life changer but it never really sinks in until it happens. Still, couldn't be happier. Also, we've got a new VGC Animated! (Great jerb!) (Newgrounds Link) Had the site blacked out (like there was a difference lolol) in opposition to SOPA/PIPA the other day. Bills like this are nothing new and we will continue seeing them in the future. It is however important to address them in all cases. Especially this one as it's particularly nasty. I think my biggest problem with this bill is it'll ultimately boil down to more censorship. Just yesterday we saw MegaUpload (video, etc..) got shut down. They already have the means to go after people. SOPA/PIPA is giving more power to a system that already has too much. So if you have a moment I do ask you to write in and voice your opposition. On a gaming note there's a SOPA related E3 boycot a brewing which is worth a gander.
Workin' on a comic. For now here are some great videos to check out! Oh, and don't forget the books!
New Super Effective!? It seems like months! Probably because it has been. I tell ya, this past little while has been just exhausting. I'll get to recent events in a bit. Right now I've got some really exciting news. We've got books!!! That's three exclimation points. You know this shit just got real. At long last I'm putting out my first two books. They're avalible for preorder (shipping on Dec 6th) at the moment but, I highly suggest gettig it now if you want it in time for Christmas. First come first serve so to speak. As you can see we have both paperback and hardcover for VG Cats. The hardcover will be a one time printing. So once it's gone it's gone for good. Super Effective didn't make sense for a hardcover so it'll just be paperback. Believe me though, these books look faaaantastic. I just got my advance copies the other day and I am SO happy with how they turned out. It's great to see Super Effective in large high-res glory. VG Cats is packed full of comics in a really nice manga travel-style size. Both books are printed on slick and glossy paper that gives me the weirdest boner. There's nothing I'd change. Now on to the past month or so. Cat almost died. Got pretty sick and is doing better now but for a while it was pretty iffy. During that the basement flooded. Did I mention my computer was down there? The one I use to make comics. After cleaning up that mess the plumbers tore the place up to fix the problem. Dust, mud, and sludge everywhere. I'm STILL cleaning it up. In the process I became asthmatic. I've always been allergic to dust and mold but this recent incident pushed me over. For a good week I was having SERIOUS problems breathing. Got a puffer, doing WAY better. So, I am sorry there haven't been comics. It's a matter of not having time, not playing games, and just mentally not there for making with the funny. As well the medical bills for our cat have been a bit extreme. I've been doing commissions when I can to help pay down the costs. I'll probably put a call out on here when I have time to take more on. For now I just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten about the comics and you. This whole year has just been a bit hellish (funerals, car accident, hospitals) and I'm trying the best I can. So thank you for bearing with me.

CHESHIRE -- A School Street homeowner trying to thaw his pipes on a frigid Thursday inadvertently caused a structure fire that resulted in serious damage to his home.
It began before 3 p.m. in the basement crawl space of 86 School St. and ascended "very, very quickly" into the attic of the single-story home, owned by Michael Gallagher.
Cheshire Fire Chief Tom Francesconi said a blowtorch being used to heat the pipes caught some insulation on fire. Firefighters had the fire under control just under an hour later.
Though they reportedly had a tough time doing their work in the "brutal" cold, Francesconi estimates that the house can be saved.
"There is heavy smoke damage throughout, but structurally it's in good shape," he said.
Gallagher had purchased the home recently and it was insured, Francesconi said. One of Gallagher's cats survived the blaze but a second was killed.
Calls reporting heavy smoke from the single-occupant residence drew first responders at 3 p.m.
Cheshire, Adams and Lanesborough fire departments arrived and began an "interior attack" on flames in the crawlspace where the fire began.
But the tight quarters and cold temperatures quickly made things difficult.
"Ice was a major factor for us," Francesconi said. "Two fire engines' lines froze solid."
He and others were happy to take advantage of a North Adams Rehab unit, which also responded to provide tents and warmth.
Francesconi said the fire spread so quickly in part because of the home's age, and old-fashioned balloon framing.
"It's an old house and that's how they used to build them back in the day," Francesconi said. "There's no fire stops, so once [the fire] gets into the walls it can go right up to the attic space, and that's what happened."
Dalton Fire Department also responded, covering Cheshire's station.
Various challenges aside, Francesconi was pleased with how quickly the fire was contained.
"I'm proud of the troops," he said.

The deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi underscores the gaping power vacuum across Libya since the toppling of Moammar Gadhafi's regime last year.
Fighting groups that battled Gadhafi have stepped in to maintain law and order after the fall of the regime, an expert on post-Gadhafi Libya told CNN.
Most of the groups are simply neighborhood watch entities. But some include hard-line Muslim Salafis and have "a very Islamist orientation," said Frederic Wehrey, a senior associate in the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
The group accused of being behind the consulate assault, the Imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades, is said to be pro-al Qaeda.
"The problem is that the Libyan army and the Libya police forces effectively disintegrated," Wehrey said. "These groups are basically running the show" throughout much of Libya.
Another analyst, Andrew Lebovich, a Washington-based researcher focused on security issues in North Africa and the Sahel, said the militias, criminal groups, and hard-line Islamist groups in Libya make up a "somewhat diffuse" environment.
"Some groups, such as the Ansar al-Sharia Brigades in Benghazi and Derna and the Imprisoned Omar Abdel Rahman Brigades have been involved in increasing shows of force and outright attacks against Western and other targets in Libya in recent months," he said.
Wehrey, in speaking to CNN, cited two of his recent essays about security in Libya. One was in Foreign Affairs in July and the other appeared Wednesday on the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace website.
He said the fledgling government is in a bind.
Officials are trying to demobilize and reintegrate the militias and bring these groups into the government security forces, he said.
But the militia members across Libya remain loyal to their groups and distrust the new government's authority, in part because of the "taint" of a link to the Gadhafi regime, Wehrey said.
The government has used militia commanders to quell tribal fighting, subcontracted border control and defense of oil installations to small brigades, and used armed groups to provide security during elections.
In Benghazi, he said, ballots for an election were stored and counted at the headquarters of the city's strongest militia.
"The strategy of trying to dismantle the regional militias while simultaneously making use of them as hired guns might be sowing the seeds for the country's descent into warlordism," he warned.
"It has also given local brigades and their political patrons leverage over the central government. Emboldened by the writ of state authority, brigade commanders have been free to carry out vendettas against rival towns and tribes, particularly those favored by ... Gadhafi," Wehrey said.
Violence between warring militias and attacks against Western and moderate Sufi Muslim targets erupted in recent months, Wehrey said. In Benghazi, there was a "rapid deterioration" of security before the U.S. Consulate attack.
A strike on a British consulate vehicle in Benghazi in June wounded a diplomat.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said its workers endured attacks at least five times in less than three month in Benghazi and Misrata. The group announced the suspension of its activities in August.
The Imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades, in fact, first surfaced in May when it claimed responsibility for an attack on the ICRC office in Benghazi. The next month it claimed responsibility for detonating a blast outside the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. It also released a video of the attack.
Sufi mosques and tombs were among the sites targeted. Sufism is considered a more moderate form of Islam.
Libyan Interior Minister Fawzi Abdel A'al was quoted by Human Rights Watch as calling the attackers "groups that have a strict Islamic ideology where they believe that graves and shrines must be desecrated."
That comment, Human Rights Watch said, refers to Salafists, the name for those Muslims who want a "return to Islam as they believe it was practiced in the days of the Prophet Mohammed."
Salafists have increasingly asserted themselves in eastern Libya. In June, hundreds of fighters wielding AK-47s and black Islamist banners converged on Benghazi to call for the imposition of sharia law.
This spring, an associate of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri addressed a large gathering in the town square of Derna, in eastern Libya. An online video of his address has been seen by CNN.
"Salafi militias have reportedly carried out assassinations of Gadhafi-era officials, taken over radio stations and shut down beauty parlors," Wehrey said.

Oy.. Cheers, mates. Here's mud in your eye!
awesome love love the who
what exactly is a lude?
tommy can you here me?
Where did they drop?
I ate my first lude when I was 13 and decided we should ride skateboards. I got 3 feet and snapped my ankle. Went home and passed out and woke up to my mom freaking out about how i could be sleeping with a huge purple ankle
Sting is in that movie, the cunt

Dude, does that scare you that they quit making it years ago and you have no idea what you took?
Ha I just googled MTM addicted to quaaludes and found a 2008 thread at sfn where I did the same spiel

i was against a raziel lynch remember? why not chase those who lynched him and stop trying to pass me off as hellbourne when you yourself have not made any significant contribution to the legion cause.

As I am legion and have nothing to hide - I am Aluna.
I am incredibly suspicious of scouttier at this point - the others make a good point about how vocal he got as soon as he was scouted and now that the pressure seems to have moved to a full out reveal he goes quiet again.
Vote scouttier
I am pretty confident now we can win this game if we survive this round. (even if they night kill me)
emiya starting to talk a lot compared to his silence before now that scouttier is going to get lynched. That combined with the "every one else say your roles first" makes me think hes hellbourne.

I have started to see some things that are crucial to our victory. I will reveal this new information later. For now, I am excited to hear some more hellbourne lies.
BlueFlash, you might have one good vote in one area, but everyone's voting record is tainted at this point. Nearly everyone who is legion has voted a lynched legion to death at this point. Voting records are unsubstantial, we need claims. Tell us your role.
Tarasque, there's no reason to doubt your claim as Aluna, but you still did not put much substance into your vote on scoutTier. This game is coming to a close, we need the legion to come together when every vote counts. Your meager argument leaves us wondering of your true alliances.. even if you are indeed legion, why sabotage the legion side so?
I have four votes on me now, one more and we lose.
I'm going to be optimistic here and hope that those are the four Hellbourne. I got quiet because I said in my last post I was waiting for more to be said before I post again.
Don't lynch ScoutTier, not yet. We have yet to hear from rehldnahc, and I want to hear more from BlueFlash and Tarasque.
Well I suppose we ( or at least I ) can confirm that anyone that's reading this thread and hasn't voted on me is Legion, that's pretty neat.
Scout, game's up, you're Hellbourne and we're lynching you. Nice try.
Emiya, it sounds like your stance is essentially that anyone who aggressively pursues anyone and ends up being wrong must be Hellbourne. That makes no sense whatsoever. We have to be aggressive to learn anything, and killing the best candidate each day according to our best judgement is the only way we can get anywhere. I've gone with my best guess each day, and unfortunately it hasn't gotten us anywhere. But that is a lot less suspicious than someone who sits quietly and doesn't even vote.
Emiya, I think you should say your role now.
Also EWCKOS. Will explain later if needed. I think this game is nearing its end.
Actually, fairly confident we have enough to end this game with. Voting for scout since he lived through days 2 and 3 without a mod kill. If raziel is any indication, this means he has a role or maybe is just one of the few hellbourne. Since he claimed monarch, that makes the decision easy. I think the legion members are clear. Time to end this. Let's see what happens.
Vote scoutTier
Also, sorry for triple post, but phone posting makes editing hard.
If I die, I think reldnahc is the only voter who might not be legion. In that case, either emiya or BlueFlash is. Broodje seems confirmed hellbourne by his vindicator shadiness and his withdraw of a vote on scout earlier before he nearly got lynched (guessing blueflash and emiya dudnt get the chance to follow suit). But otherwise, I'd say all the scout dissenters are hellbourne.
@Apostate You're talking to the most aggressive player this game. The point was not that being aggressive was wrong, but that we can make fairly safe conclusions from how certain players act towards other players.
I think you just made a huge mistake, Beany.
I'll never forget what I felt that day...
I, want to be a Hero of Justice!
Very sad here, I am monarch. Whoever is the Legion that voted on me definitely didn't read the whole thread, or had little interest in the outcome of the game.
Fine. Want to ask one thing while we have time then. What's your role Emiya?
Doesn't matter anymore. Majority vote was already reached, the day is over even if you unvote now. Guess we're just waiting for Octavia to finish things up.
I'll never forget what I felt that day...
I, want to be a Hero of Justice!
Vote Tally
Votes required for a lynch: 5
ScoutTier (5) - Apostate, Beanybag, Drasha, Reldnahc, Tarasque
Apostate (3) - Blueflash, Emiya, ScoutTier
Players who haven't voted yet: Broodje.
ScoutTier - Monarch (Legion) has been lynched.
End Game
One or more players has had their win conditions met, ending the game.

I'd sing you a song, but
I'm just a little hoarse.
Suspected Tarasque and Drasha but... why didn't scoutTier get modkilled after not voting for days 2 and 3? Urg inactives. e_e
Also, if Emiya was Andromeda, why didn't he vote to lynch scoutTier as well then (he wins either way)?

A Norfolk Grand Jury indicted two Boston men on Wednesday after they allegedly shot a 32-year-old Dedham woman on the Dedham/West Roxbury line, according to a press release from the Norfolk County District Attorney's office.
The Dedham Fire Department has five new members fresh out of the academy. We interviewed them, and we will run weekly Q&As with each firefighter.
The debate may rage across Massachusetts about the future relevancy of Thanksgiving Day football following the institution of the new MIAA playoff format, but the spirit of the holiday tradition was alive and well at Stone Park in 85th edition of the Dedham-Norwood rivalry.
A resident of Dedham and one from Roslindale will return to court on Jan. 3 to face charges of armed robbery of a Dunkin' Donuts in Westwood, the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office said in a press release on Dec. 3.

Awards cap off two-day National Pediatric Innovation Summit
BOSTON, Sept. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Recognizing transformative advances in pediatric patient care, Boston Children's Hospital today announced three $50,000 Taking on Tomorrow innovation awards. The awards were presented at 1 p.m. today by outgoing Boston Children's Chief Executive Officer James Mandell, MD, at the Seaport World Trade Center during the National Innovation Pediatric Summit hosted this week by the hospital.
Three independent judging panels representing research and health care leaders inside and outside Boston Children's chose the awards (see appendix). The awards fell in three categories, judged for the maturity of the technology, the commercial potential, intellectual property considerations and the strength of the development team:
"We were delighted to have an exceptionally strong pool of applicants for all three categories from across health care, industry and academic medicine," says Mandell. "I can say with confidence that the innovations and discoveries chosen by our judges will all create new standards in areas of pediatric care that are important to us."
The awards and projects:
Research/Scientific Breakthrough in Autism
Daniel Geschwind, MD, Ph.D., chairman of Human Genetics and director of UCLA's Center for Autism Research and Treatment, is creator and leader of the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE), a large-scale, cross-institution database used by more than 150 institutions to date.
Using AGRE, Geschwind's group identified two consistent sets of molecular changes in the brain, providing strong confirmation that autism's multiple different genetic or environmental causes converge on a common "molecular pathology" in the brain. The changes, found in more than two-thirds of subjects with autism, affect two molecular processes: the function of neurons and the activity of microglial cells, part of the brain's native immune system. The observed differences, validated in multiple independent samples, could be used to direct and inform studies to identify biomarkers of autism that could aid in diagnosis and therapeutic development.
Clinical Innovation
Charles Dumoulin, Ph.D., director of the Imaging Research Center in the Department of Radiology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, led a team of scientists and engineers to develop a new type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for infants.
Revisiting almost everything known about MRI, the system matches the imaging power of conventional scanners, but is small enough to image fragile newborns, including preemies as small as a pound or less, and has a footprint of only a few square feet, allowing it to be housed directly in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The system includes two methods for moving small infants into the scanner, including those in incubators, with minimal disturbance and risk, and exposes infants to a minimum of noise (equivalent to a quiet office setting). It has been used in more than 150 newborns at Cincinnati Children's and has already spawned new research projects.
Community/Patient Empowerment
This award, for an interactive nightly "sign out form" for families of hospitalized children, went to Christopher P. Landrigan, MD, MPH, research director of Boston Children's Hospital Inpatient Pediatrics Service and director of the Sleep and Patient Safety Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Alisa Khan, MD, a fellow with the Harvard-wide Pediatric Health Services Research Fellowship Program and the Academic Pediatric Hospitalist Fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital.
The family sign out tool mirrors Boston Children's I-PASS system for physician-to-physician patient "handoff," successfully piloted in 10 hospitals. It uses the same I-PASS mnemonic to ensure all clinical details are communicated: Illness Severity, Patient Summary, Action Items (the care plan), Situational Awareness (what to watch for) and Synthesis (for families to write questions to providers). The sign out is designed to empower families to play a more active, informed role in managing their children's health while in the hospital. With the award, the current paper form will become a scalable app that integrates with patients' electronic medical records.
Boston Children's Hospital is the world's largest research enterprise at a pediatric medical center, where its discoveries have benefited both children and adults since 1869. More than 1,100 scientists, including seven members of the National Academy of Sciences, 13 members of the Institute of Medicine and 14 members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute comprise Boston Children's research community. Boston Children's is a 395-bed comprehensive center for pediatric and adolescent health care grounded in the values of excellence in patient care and sensitivity to the complex, diverse needs of children and families. Boston Children's is also the primary pediatric teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School.

Effective January 1, 2003, regulations allow an F-1 student to be enrolled in two different SEVIS-approved F-1 schools at the same time (concurrent enrollment), as long as the enrollment in both schools amounts to a full time course of study.
A student should ask for a Reduced Course Load (RCL) authorization to the ISP office and bring a registration record, at the beginning of the semester, and a grade report, at the end of the semester, from another school. Otherwise, a student's RCL will be reported to SEVIS as "Failure to maintain F-1 status."
Reduced Course Load Request Form
Independent Study Concurrent Enrollment Agreement Form
The concurrent enrollment provision is applicable only to those who will be registered less than full-time at the school that issued their I-20, and who are relying on enrollment at another school in order to meet the requirement that they be enrolled for a full course of study. As long as a student is enrolled full-time at the institution that issued his or her Form I-20, he or she does not need special permission to take an additional class at another school.

What is the history of Hnefatafl in relation to Chess and/or Go? Which was developed first and what if anything influenced the development of Hnefatafl?
History of these ancient boardgames is a bit murky due to their really old age. The wikipedia article on Hnefatafl is a good starting point, but you can already see from that how vague the information is. Hnefatafl being played since around 400 is certainly older than Chess. In fact, it can be considered a predecessor of Chess. A not so easy relation is that between Hnefatafl and Go - if it exists at all. What can be said for certain is that written documents on these three games can placed in a timeline like this:
What is particularly interesting is that Chess is believed to have originated in India, from where it basically traveled to Europe. By around 1000 Chess was far-spread in Europe. As for the initial development of Hnefatafl, I am not aware of the influences. What is known is that Hnefatafl is tied very closely to the Vikings. Due to their enterprising nature they traveled through most of Europe helping to spread Hnefatafl. Also note that the end of the Viking age coincides with the time of the introduction of Chess, so it is not surprising that the latter continued to dominate the European scene for centuries to come. Edit: In terms of influence between Hnefatafl and Chess, I'd wager neither significantly influenced the other. From the mere timeline it is possible that Hnefatafl may have influenced the development of Chess. But that would be a risky theory, as I am not aware of any written connection between these two and the spacial separation between Vikings and Indians makes it ever so unlikely. | |||||
I do not know about the others, but I can tell a little about the history of Go, one of the oldest board games in existence. There are various sources on Go history, but especially the early stages are widely different in each. The source used here is generally well accepted among Go players. It is certain that Go was invented in China (called weiqi there). According to legend, an ancient Chinese Emperor invented the game to enlighten his son, though it is unsure if it was Emperor Yao (2357-2255 BC) or Emperor Shun (2255-2205 BC). Other sources (Encyclopedia Britannica) state 2356 BC. Some even claim Go was developed as a game in China perhaps 4000 years before present time, but this date has been questioned by many. Either way, Go, a game that resembles a war and involves terms such as "territory" and "killing" has always been a popular game to be played at the court, slowly spreading to the people from there. The oldest surviving reference is found in "Analects" by Confucius from the 6th century BC. Starting in the first century AD, there are texts specifically devoted to Go, namely "Yi Zhi" (Essence of Go) by Ban Gu. The earliest recorded games ("Wu Diagrams") stem from around 250 AD. Starting 1050 AD, various books (for instance Qijing Shisanpian, the 13-Chapter Classic of Go), some still well known today, were created. Among them were problem collections as well as early works on joseki (patterns that are used frequently), some of those patterns are still in use by professional players today. Go was imported at an unknown point in time (sometime before the early 7th century AD) to Japan, and gained popularity there as well as in China. About 600 years ago, Go became a widespread phenomenon with Go houses (elite study circles) becoming more and more important, later also gaining increased social and political relevance. To end this boring story and return to the question: Hnefatafl, from what I gather, is purely Western and was in no way influenced by Go. I also never encountered either Hnefatafl nor Western chess in any texts on early Go history. However, it is worth noting that there is a chess variant very popular in China. It is called Xianqi and probably originated from the same ancestor, the old Indian Chaturanga, as "Western Chess". It is actually said to be the most popular game in the world with half a billion players. However, it sprung into existence too late to interact with Go. | |||
I see you ask about the origins of Hnefatafl, which are obviously hard to trace since the Vikings had effectively no written history. It is possible that Chaturanga, a precursor of Chess, had some influence; it was certainly played in Persia and Iraq at the time when Viking traders reached there. There really isn't much likeness, though, particularly since it is believed that Chaturanga queens moved like Chess kings. More likely is Nine Mens Morris, a game with visible similarities to tafl, and which was well known throughout the Roman Empire. (An early version, Three Mens Morris, was known in Ancient Egypt.) I would guess that the long winter evenings in Scandinavia also had something to do with it. | ||||

A short story about string tension
I wanted to share with you my experience of string tension. I believe it may help some people who have difficulty deciding what tension to choose.
I'm not going to bore you with the details. Suffice to say that I have gradually increased the tension in my rackets over the years. Sometimes I would get a special feeling from the new stringing, which soon disappeared.
Recently, I had my racket restrung with BG 65 at 23 lbs, by a good stringer. The first night I played with it, it felt great. Every shot, even the gentle touch shots, came with a slightly metallic "ting" sound. After I got used to this new feeling, I found that I could judge touch shots better - because the racket strings seemed to give me more information than before. All my strokes became more accurate, and smashes were faster. The overall feeling was that my game had suddenly become "crisper".
The next week, it was back to normal. The special feeling had gone.
I took the racket back to my stringer. I asked him to restring it at 25 lbs. He thought I was wasting my money - why restring when it's not broken? I'd only played with it twice. Besides, 25 lbs was too high. But in the end, he agreed (after I'd demonstrated that I knew my equipment).
He was right. 25 lbs is too high for me. My shots were inaccurate, I could generate little power, and I mishit a lot of shuttles. My forearm feels sore today.
But I had expected this too. Now I know what my limit is; within a week, I expect the strings to have relaxed to about 23 lbs.
So what's the moral of the story?
The only way to discover your (current) limits is to push them. I now know that 25 lbs is too tight for me: I can't hit the small sweet spot accurately enough, and my timing or swing speed are not good enough to generate much power.
That's okay. I'm not a professional, and I'm not surprised that tensions at the lower end of professional preferences are too high for me. I'm not interested in a "mine is bigger than yours" bragging contest about string tensions.
But I do seem to have discovered a narrow, magic zone of tensions, which produces dramatically better results for me. Too low, and the feeling disappears; too high, and it's also gone. In order to get this feeling, I probably have no more than a margin of 1 lb variation either side.
I'm hoping that next week, I'll get that special feeling again. Wish me luck
May I suggest you do the same? I believe that this zone exists for every player, but it's different. It's not difficult to find, however. Here's how to do it:
- Only change one variable at a time! Try to keep the same racket, stringer, and string.
- Increase your string tension in increments of 2 lbs. Start with a minimum of 20 lbs.
- Along the way, you may discover this zone for yourself.
- In any case, keep increasing the tension until it gets too high for you. You'll know when this happens, because you will suffer a loss of accuracy and power.
- Do not delude yourself into playing with a tension that is too high. There's nothing impressive about it - you'll just play worse.
- Once the tension is too high, you MUST reduce it. If it won't go slack by itself, then you must immediately restring at a lower tension.
- Some strings slacken off more dramatically than others. BG 65 loses about 10% or 2 lb of tension in the first 1-2 weeks. If it feels different after a week or two, then this is probably what's happened. You must factor this into your calculations.
You need to be methodical about this. I know lots of good players who have no idea what their string tension is. They just let the stringer choose for them. Most of them, I believe, are using too low a tension.
Try this out. I hope you get the same benefit I didLast edited by Gollum; 04-15-2005 at 05:47 AM.
good points....
I usually string my racket with 21 or 22 lbs
too high it s not flexible
too low it s not powerful enough
I started off 2 years ago stringing a cheap prince racket(cannot remember the model) with 25lbs of tension.. u're right, every overhead clears i made would end up half-court.. then i upgraded my racket to Gosen 3400, still at 25lbs of tension with the same stringer, i had no such problems as i had before with my prince racket.. so i guess the racket also plays a part in this.. it's just a thought though.. BTW now i'm playng LF Ti500 strung with Gosen TecGut Tour (0.66mm) @ 30lbs.. Maybe i'm just lucky not to get hurt playing at such high tension from the start but frankly speaking i havent find my limit yet as far as string tension is concerned but for now i wouldnt dare to go more than 30lbs... maybe one day if i have lots of money & got nothing 2 loose, i might try 32lbs next..
love your post, gollum.
I specially love the bit about changing one variable at a time. This bit of realization helped me a lot back then when I'd experiment with strings, rackets and tensions all at the same time (and end up not happy with any of the results)
get your fave racket
use your favorite strings
gut at a tension that you'd like to try.
once you find the "proper" combination, you can now experiment a bit with the strings or (never "and") with the tension.
current faves bg66/gosen pro66 strings at 24lbs
can't wait to try bg68ti @ 24lbs
04-15-2005, 06:20 AM #5Originally Posted by Gollum
Gollum - nice observation.. Fortunately fo rme, I have better and cheaper access to badminton equip. than others here, and have been experimenting a lot. I have obeserved the same thing too high and too low tensions cause one to lose power. (Like someone didn't say it before...)
I have also come to my favorite zone.. I'm still trying to narrow it down.. but currently am between 25 to 27. With .66mm strings (current favorites are Bg 66, Ashaway durakill)
There is another thread, that asks us to experiment with a high tension, I am also in favor of this. I couldn't belive the distance I got from a backhand with 27 lbs of tension; that is of course when I hit with the correct timing. I was standing in between the long service line for doubles and the end line I was able to sent the shuttle to the long service line for doubles on the other side with just a mediun flick. And this was I shuttle I was holding with the same hand as the racket.
so experiment people, but as Gollum stated, the scientific way, 1 variable at a time...
regards and sorry for the long post.
omg i am in the same situation right now. i strung it a bit too high for me. probably like 2 pounds. i strung it at 24 and im a 22 ... i made a mistake =[ and tomorrow's my game. how do i get the strings to reduce ?! PLEASE I NEED THIS ASAP !

I know from experience that this applies to BG 65 (well, maybe not 72 hours, but certainly in a week), since that's the string I normally use. But BG 65 also has a reputation for losing more initial tension than other strings.
I've also used BG 85, 65 TI and 68 TI, but the last two were factory tensions and hence too low. I can't be sure what BG 85 did either.
It would be interesting to learn what stringers and string enthusiasts think about the different tension loss between strings.
the important thing when you string higher is that you need time to get habit, the racquet is less forgiving, your timing must be more accurate to produce power cause you don't have the trampoline effect like with lower tension
04-20-2005, 08:46 PM #14Originally Posted by Benasp
I tried stringing 25 lbs, but I totally could not handle it. However, instead of going back down, I stuck with 25, and developed my technique around it. Kind of like forcing myself to hit the bird properly. At the beginning, regions of the arm would hurt, and the strokes that were pure power had no power. But now, it's gotten a lot better. So I guess an alternate way to develop better technique is to force urself using a high tension racket??

about the exhibition
International Artist-In-Residence
New Works 04.1
Michael Velliquette
San Antonio, TX
March 18–May 09, 2004
about the artistMichael Velliquette has used drawing, sculpture, and video to delve into his psyche and daily life. Over the past decade he has recorded himself and his surroundings, and composed environments that reflect his personal journey. Using readily available materials classically associated with craft—paper, plastic, felt-tip markers, tape—he creates all-encompassing, fictional worlds that explore the relationship between the self and the universe at large.
With each project Velliquette crafts a space-specific piece that encourages thoughts about humans and the world around us. To hasten the contemplation of metaphysics he employs a wealth of visual stimulants reminiscent of 1960s psychedelia and more recent rave culture. In his installation The Depth of the Drop (2003), a darkened room was crisscrossed by paper streamers printed with images of the galaxy. Projected on one wall was a video of a storm, while looped on a monitor was footage of a starry-eyed mummy singing sad soul songs. The work sparked thoughts about the afterlife and where we go from here. Like his other work, the piece used dramatic means to distill attention onto the intersection of science, cosmology, philosophy, and religion.
Michael Velliquette was born in 1971 in Sandusky, OH and has lived in San Antonio, TX since receiving his MFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2000. Recent solo exhibitions include The Suburban, Chicago, IL (2004) as well as Three Walls (2003), Blue Star Contemporary Art Center (2003) and Cactus Bra Space (2003) in San Antonio, TX. Velliquette's work has been shown in group exhibitions at Deitch Projects, New York, NY (2003); the McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, TX (2002); and the Ontario College of Art and Design, Toronto, Canada (1999).
about the project
Michael Velliquette's project at ArtPace is an explosion of color and material. With the ü in the i he has created an intense physical atmosphere that overflows with repeated visual motifs that enchant the eyes while moving forward his long-standing investigation of Self and the cosmos.
Velliquette has made a space within a space, constructing an enormous cardboard box inside of what would otherwise be a white, three-walled gallery. Like the closet in C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, a doorway in into the space serves as the threshold beyond which lies another reality.
The viewer discovers the land by walking on a path of plastic tarps covering the floor. The road leads over a small bridge, toward a cave, and to a giant hand-shaped pillow lying on the floor. Passed along the way are neon pink and yellow sine waves, sunny rainbows of colored tape, watery cascades of blue plastic, and anonymous, double-sided profiles cut out of galaxy-printed paper.
Compounding the sense of a person exploring the past, present, future, and the world beyond, is the overwhelming presence of outstretched, searching fingers. From each corner hangs a six-foot cardboard hand punctuated by a planetary mobile. Giant palms reach out of the walls, and an enormous pair of inquiring eyes probe the space for answers.
The multitude of elements in the ü in the i encourages an acute awareness of one's place in the universe. It is a mysteriously ordered disorder—a potent metaphor for the rhythms of life on this planet, and perhaps what lies beyond.
