The Health System
All crew members spawn with 100% health, and with four categories of damage: suffocation, toxin, burn, and brute. Any damage taken will add to its corresponding category and subtract from total health. There is also brain and bleeding damage, which work differently from the others. As one's health declines, they will find it harder to move around. At 0% health, the patient enters critical health. They will stumble around, fall in and out of consciousness, begin to slowly take suffocation as well as brain damage and have an ever-increasing chance to develop shock and cardiac failure. If left untreated, they will eventually reach a certain amount of damage (overall, around 600) and die. Generally speaking, people are unlikely to survive 200 (-100% health) or more total damage.
Medical doctors have access to some of these in medbay, and others can be created by botanists (though you'll have to nag them for it). The quartermaster can order a number of medical resupply kits. Advanced drugs can be created by the scientists, assuming they haven't already burned themselves to death. Medbots synthesize many different medicines, which are indicated in the table below.
For a complete list of medical chemicals, how to make them, and what they do, see Chemistry.
|Advanced version
|Stabilizes critical patients, but less effectively than epinephrine. Reduces stun/knockdown effects. Addictive.
|Stops suffocation, stabilizes critical patients. Treats cardiac problems and allergic reactions. Reduces stun/knockdown effects. Causes sickness on overdose (20+ units).
|Treats suffocation damage. Part of the standard medbot injection set.
|Styptic Powder
|Slows down the health loss from bleeding and heals brute damage. Only apply topically (patch, dropper, etc.)!
|Silver Sulfadiazine
|Heals burn damage. Only apply topically (patch, dropper, etc.)!
|Saline-glucose Solution
|Slowly heals brute and burn damage, handles circulatory shock, increases the body's natural regeneration rate of blood. Part of the standard medbot injection set. Having Saline in your bloodstream for too long will cause hypertension due to its blood regenerating effects.
|Treats toxin damage, absorbs other reagents in the body. Part of the standard medbot injection set.
|Pentetic Acid
|Rapidly flushes chemicals out of people's bloodstreams, but causes toxin damage in the process.
|Pentetic Acid
|Potassium Iodide
|Basic anti-radiation medicine.
|Pentetic Acid
| Ammonium Bicarbonate
(Smelling salts)
|Basic anti-radiation medicine, weaker than potassium iodide. Stabilizes critical patients, slightly more effectively than ephedrine but not epinephrine.
|Pentetic Acid
|Heals most damage types; used in cryo chambers. Only works at low temperatures!
|Salicylic Acid
|Basic painkiller. Heals small amounts of brute damage. Decently reduces the speed penalty from injuries, and reduces overheating.
|Sedation. Low doses significantly reduce the speed penalty from severe injuries and help with jitteriness. Addictive.
|Chicken Soup
|Basic anti-viral. Can cure minor diseases, such as food poisoning or the flu, but not as well as Robustissin can. Available from coffee machines.
|Space Ipecac
|Emetic. May induce vomiting, causing the patient spew out their most recent meal (and whatever reagents/poisons were in it) as half-digested food chunks. May cause food poisoning.
|Burn and fever medication. Attempts to lower body temperature back to normal, sometimes heals a little burn damage.
|More powerful version of epinephrine, useful when a patient is near death. Fixes cardiac problems, heals a bit of brain, brute, and burn damage, and rapidly flushes sarin out of the body.
|Treats suffocation very well, but leaves the patient unable to talk in the meantime. Slowly heals burn and brute damage. Synthesized by the Head Surgeon medbot instead of salbutamol. Addictive. You might see people walking out of the cloner with a Perfluorodecalin addiction once in a while.
|Heals brute and burn damage very effectively, and also stops bleeding instantly. Only apply topically (patch, dropper, etc.)!
|Pentetic Acid
|Reduces radiation, heals toxin damage, flushes all other chemicals. Causes brute damage.
|Reduces bleeding and heals most types of damage. Addictive.
|Anti-psychotic/sedative. Rapidly removes psychoactive drugs and stimulants, can cure certain psychoses, causes brain damage. Regular darts fired by the tranquilizer rifle also contain it.
|Treats certain diseases. Part of the standard medbot injection set.
|Can cure minor diseases, such as food poisoning or the flu.
|Cures brain damage.
|Removes mutations, harmful, beneficial, or harmless.
|Treats eye and hearing damage.
|Treats drunkenness.
|Handles hyperglycaemic shock.
|Normalizes body temperature. Addictive.
|Also known as antihistamine. This can help deal with histamine, itching powder, bee venom and certain bug bites.
|Stimulates blood production; usually used after moderate blood loss.
|An anticoagulant, which will worsen bleeding but will also lessen the symptoms of hypertension, lower blood clots, and help with heart disease.
|A coagulant, which will help lessen blood loss, worsen or sometimes cause clots, and increase blood pressure.
Not all mobs are susceptible to all damage types, but humans and monkeys are generally the most vulnerable. A couple of mutations, for example thermal resistance, offer some immunity. Of note:
- Changelings don't have to breathe and are thus not affected by suffocation and gas leaks, and they also can't contract diseases and pathogens, or develop heart conditions.
- Vampires are immune to diseases and pathogens.
- Cyborgs don't have to worry about toxins, radiation or suffocation, but they can still be dented or burned.
In technical terms, the damage types are often referred to as OXY, TOX, BURN, BRUTE, BRAIN, BLEEDING, EYE, and EAR.
Note: Don't forget that every medical PDA (cyborgs included) is equipped with a reagent scanner! Separate hand-held devices and upgrades for regular health analyzers are also available. Its usefulness to quickly identify poisons cannot be overstated.
The patient has been exposed to an area without a proper atmosphere, or strangled. Other possible causes include:
- Presence of CO2.
- Certain chemicals and chemical fumes, for example pancuronium.
Salbutamol will speed up recovery, but suffocation damage will heal naturally if there is enough air to breathe, provided the patient has not gone into critical health. If they are wearing an air tank and mask, make sure the valve isn't closed. If it isn't, the tank is probably empty or not configured properly, so take it off.
A patient in critical health can't breathe unassisted. Inject saline and/or epinephrine to stabilize them, or give CPR by using an empty hand on them with the help intent. Make sure neither of you are wearing masks or hats.
The patient is having trouble breathing. Whenever they try to speak, it comes out as whispers. Not really a damage type, but nevertheless acts like one and is very closely associated with suffocation damage and the things that cause suffocation, though, technically speaking, it does not in of itself, cause it.
You won't find it on a scanner reading, but if you ever see an O2 Warning icon pop up on your screen, that's LOSEBREATH at work.
Salbutamol will help the patient breath again, as will cardiac stimulants like epinephrine, but LOSEBREATH will reverse itself naturally, proved there is enough air to breathe, and the patient is not in critical condition or worst. Giving CPR by clicking on a patient with an empty hand while on help intent will also reduce LOSEBREATH.
Toxin damage can come from a few sources:
- Breathing plasma causes toxic damage. Move the patient to a safe area if there is a gas leak.
- Certain viruses can cause toxic damage. Treat the virus first, then deal with the toxin damage.
- Ingesting harmful chemicals can cause toxin damage. Treat the poisoning first, then administer anti-toxins.
- Toxin damage is a byproduct of radiation poisoning. Deal with the poisoning first if anti-rad medicine is available.
The primary remedy is activated charcoal (anti-toxin pills). In severe cases, calomel will rapidly flush the patient at the cost of causing toxic damage itself. Pentetic acid is a superior alternative.
Certain toxins warrant special considerations:
- Embalming fluid: Will decay into histamine, which can cause anaphylaxis.
- Amanitin: This poison will cause toxic damage when the last unit decays. The amount of damage is based on how long it was in the patient's bloodstream.
- Coniine: Causes rapid asphyxiation and renders the victim incapable of speech.
- Sarin: Causes paralysis, shaking, vomiting, suffocation, toxin damage, and some burn damage. Neutralize with atropine.
- Venom: Causes toxic and brute damage. Decays into histamine, and can gib in large doses.
Burn damage can come many sources, such as:
- Fire, acid and electrical shocks are the most common.
- Exposure to space and Trench tiles without protective gear.
- Exposure to extremely high or low temperatures.
- Explosions.
- Inhaling superheated gas will fry someone's lungs from within, causing massive burn damage. Make sure you have internals on before rushing to help these patients.
- Certain weapons (such as a welder or phasers) will also cause burn damage.
- Eating spicy food or food injected with certain hot chemicals.
If the patient is on fire, put the fire out before anything else, The burning sprite can be slow to update sometimes, so it can be hard to tell if you have extinguished the fire. Stuffing the patient into cryo will rapidly put out the fire while also healing them - making it perfect for all those flaming assistants running around. Once the source of the burn damage is removed, treat with burn medication (e.g. silver sulfadiazine, burn patches) or cryo.
Brute damage is probably the most common form you will see. It comes in many forms:
- Bruises from physical combat, melee weapons, etc.
- Being struck by a thrown object.
- Being shot by a revolver or other kinetic weapons.
- Explosions.
- Certain viruses and chemicals, for instance itching powder.
- Slipping on space lube.
- Taking a trip through a waste disposal chute.
Brute damage can be treated with styptic powder, synthflesh, healing patches or cryo. If the patient has been shot, they will continue to bleed until the bullet is removed. This requires surgery. If you cannot get the bullet out immediately, administer a pill of salicylic acid, which will boost their movement speed to normal, and send them to medbay for further treatment.
Brain damage is typically caused when other types of damage force a person into critical condition. Other possible factors include:
- Severe head injuries.
- Certain viruses.
- Exposure to a number of chemicals, such as neurotoxin, haloperidol, sarin or mercury.
Health analyzers don't provide an exact value for brain damage. If somebody has suffered brain damage, the readout will indicate the fact:
- "Significant brain damage detected. Subject may have had a concussion." (More than 10 BRAIN),
- "Severe brain damage detected. Subject likely unable to function well." (More than 60 BRAIN),
- "Subject is braindead." (More than 100 BRAIN).
Examining a person with severe brain damage will also reveal that they appear to have a stupid expression on their face. Heavy brain damage causes the patient to gibber everything they say and involuntarily scream over the radio in all caps. It also makes it difficult for them to do certain tasks, such as using computers and operating doors. Extreme brain damage will make it difficult to even breathe. Too much brain damage (100+ BRAIN) will outright kill them.
Mannitol is the primary counter to brain damage. Holy water is also excellent at healing brain damage, though only if topically (e.g. dropper, patch, beaker splash) applied. If the patient is in critical condition, stabilize them with epinephrine or other means first, preventing further accumulation of brain damage. To deal with any poisons, follow the standard detox procedures and then follow up with a pill of mannitol.
The cardiovascular system of human or monkey contains 500 units of blood. Any attack with a sharp object (e.g. broken bottle, scalpel or energy sword) or kinetic firearm is likely to open a wound, and the rate of the blood loss depends on the severity of the injury. Vampires are another major threat, as they tend to drain their victims dry when given the opportunity. While minor cases can be fairly harmless, blood pouring out at an alarming rate will have a life-threatening impact in a matter of minutes. If the blood level is lower than...
- 400: Small chance to go into shock.
- 300: Medium chance for shock, the patient will be slowed down to walking speed, experience random stuns or pass out.
- 200: High chance for shock, walking speed, random stuns and KOs.
- 100: High chance for shock, walking speed, lots of random stuns and KOs. The patient will steadily rack up OXY and BRAIN damage, enter critical condition and pass away in short order.
You can assess the patient's condition with a health analyzer or by examining them. Somebody with a low blood level will appear "pale", for instance. More accurate readings can be obtained by upgrading the analyzer, which will tell you the exact amount of blood and blood loss per life cycle.
When dealing with a bleeding patient, the priority should be to mend the wound, as they'll just bleed out any medicine you put in their bloodstream. Topical drugs (such as styptic powder) can still be somewhat effective, though. You have a number of options:
- Wait it out. The body can occasionally heal 1 BLEEDING over time, so minor wounds can be ignored under certain circumstances. Don't make the mistake to depend on it to save somebody's life, however!
- Using the help intent on somebody may slow the rate of bleeding, but it's not very reliable. Both parties have to stand still.
- Cauterize the wound with a welding tool, zippo lighter, igniter or lit cigarette. Beware, this will burn the patient as well.
- Medical patches can reduce bleeding.
- Certain medical chemicals, for example, styptic powder, synthflesh, omnizine, and proconvertin. See Drugs for more info.
- Bandages and sutures work reliably and don't have negative side-effects.
Note: Only sutures are capable of mending surgical incisions. Every other option can slow the rate of blood loss, but won't close the wound entirely no matter how hard you try. If examining the patient reveals one or multiple "open incision[s] on their [body parts]", target the correct one and use a suture as many times as necessary to mend all incisions.
All patched up? Great, but your job isn't done yet. While the patient's body will replenish blood at a slow-but-steady rate, chances are an infusion (via blood bags) will be required in case of considerable loss of overall blood volume. Filgrastim also helps to replenish the blood supply. Also of note: bullet and shrapnel wounds can be bandaged, but surgery is still necessary to get rid of the random stuns and accumulating brute damage.
Vampires can bleed as well, but only if they've already built up a reserve of blood. They bleed on a per-attack basis only (as opposed to a certain amount per tick), and are completely unaffected by the debilitating side-effects detailed in the paragraph above.
Patient's retinas are damaged, typically as a result of exposure to bright lights. One of the least common damage types, though probably one of the most annoying. Potential sources include:
- Welding without protection.
- Improper use of flash powder.
- Flashbangs.
- Getting capsaicin on the skin/face.
- Exposure to flashes and other bright lights while wearing optical thermal scanners.
- Blinding spells.
Eye damage worsens the effects of sources of eye damage. If eye damage is allowed to accumulate, later eye injuries can result in blurriness, temporary short-sightedness, and eventually permanent blindness.
Health analyzers do not detect eye damage. Instead, you must wave a penlight over a patient's eyes/face/head to diagnose any eye problems. If you get a message about their pupils constricting normally and their eyes easily following the light, they're fine. If not, administer oculine in any form, e.g. drops, patch, pill.
Welding masks and most varieties of space helmets outright block most sources of eye damage. Sunglasses, SecHUDs, and polarized eyes offer similar protection, though they only reduce damage from welding. Meanwhile, optical thermal scanners and NVG goggles intensify eye damage, often significantly.
Blindness can be alleviated by wearing VISOR goggles and administering oculine or mutadone. (Pro-tip: if you yourself become blind, simply click a pill/patch/auto-injector while it's in your hand to use it on yourself.)
The patient's eardrums are damaged, and they are having trouble hearing, often experiencing temporary deafness and tinnitus, "ringing" in the ears. Probably the rarest damage type, though easily the least lethal and debilitating. Potential sources include:
- Improper use of sonic powder/hootingium.
- Flashbangs and sonic grenades.
- Vuvuzelas, amplified and unamplified.
- Unholy screeches and screams.
Oculine quickly repairs ear damage, though ears heal naturally if the patient is not deaf. Heavy ear damage can result in permanent deafness, which can cured with mutadone and alleviated by wearing an Auditory Headset. Wearing earmuffs and being deaf in the first place prevents most ear damage entirely.
Several problems require immediate surgery to save the patient, some of which concern their extremities or internal organs. People coming into medbay will expect you to be able to help, so you should familiarize yourself with this guide. There are multiple operating tables in the MedSci department. Medical cyborgs can utilize them as well by using drag & drop, but not actually assist with limb reattachment.
Alternatively, some operations can be performed on people buckled to a bed. Because it doesn't encompass certain essentials such as limb reattachment, you may want to use a regular table instead, which requires the patient to be unconscious, for example by breathing N2O. Should proper tools be unavailable, suitably sharp objects such shards and knives and rotary cutting tools such as chainsaws and pizza-cutters may be substituted for scalpels and saws respectively, but, there are of course certain risks involved with back alley surgery. Likewise, a significant amount of liquid courage is a must before you can perform self-surgery without an operating table.
Several factors influence the probability of complications. Injecting the patient with sedatives (morphine, haloperidol) or painkillers (salicylic acid, alcohol) has a positive effect, as does using N2O (anesthetic) tank. Jitteriness should be addressed beforehand. Clumsy people have no place in the operating room and surgeons may also wish to avoid excessive consumption of alcohol. Last but not least, trained professionals (the medical staff) are less likely to screw up in general.
Since surgery can be a very bloody affair, you may want to make use of a hemostat where available to reduce the amount of bleeding damage taken. Either way, it is never a bad idea to have sutures (see the previous section on "Bleeding") on hand for dressing the patient's wounds immediately. A full blood bag can also be required for complicated and lengthy surgery (such as heart replacement).
Surgical removal
|Procedure and considerations
|The patient fought a changeling and ended up being infected by its headspider.
|Time is of an essence and surgery is the only way! Unless removed quickly, the parasite will take over its new host.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for their chest with the scalpel on help intent. This should cut a "strange tumor" out - if it doesn't after repeated attempts, the transformation has already been completed.
|The patient has an implant that requires removal.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for their chest with the scalpel on help intent. The implant can be recycled by loading it into an empty implanter.
|Bullets, shrapnel
|The patient has bullets and/or shrapnel in their chest and cannot bear the random stuns and brute damage. Scan them with a health analyzer ("Foreign objects detected") to confirm your suspicion.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for their chest with the scalpel on help intent to remove one foreign object at a time.
|The patient is a healthy human with four limbs. For augmentation or other reasons, some of the limbs have to go.
|Surgery is the only ethical way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the limb in question, then use the tools in the order scalpel-saw-scalpel. Note that even if you neglect to do the final step, the half-cut limb will still fall off after some time. This procedure will inflict a lot of tissue damage and will put the patient in critical condition very quickly. You need to have bandages and medical drugs at the ready.
|The patient is alive or dead, and you need their behind for a buttbot or the kitchen.
|Surgery generally is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the chest with harm intent. Follow the sequence scalpel-saw-scalpel-saw to detach the butt.
|You need to remove somebody's eyes, presumably for augmentation.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the head. Follow the sequence spoon-scalpel-spoon to remove the eye, while also paying special attention to which hand you're using. You have to hold the surgery tools in your left hand to target the left eye, and vice versa.
|Brain (Humanoid Corpse)
|Your patient is quite dead, or wishes to be a cyborg, and you need their brain.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the head. If they are wearing any headgear (hats, masks), you have to get them off before proceeding. To remove the brain, use the tools in the order scalpel-saw-scalpel-saw. You can use the same procedure (headgear removal not necessary) on severed heads.
|Brain (Critter Corpse)
|Your patient has, through special wizardry, been turned into an animal, and now is quite dead, or wishes to be a cyborg, and you need their brain.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Simply use the scalpel on the player-controlled critter to skin it (doing it with NPC ones does nothing), then use it gain butcher it and get a usable human brain.Somehow.
|Your wish to sever your patient's head for...science?
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the head with harm intent. If they are wearing any headgear (hats, masks), you have to get them off before proceeding. To sever the head, use the tools in the order scalpel-saw-scalpel-saw.
|The patient is dead and you for some reason require their skull.
|Surgery generally is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the head. Remove their brain first (see above), then use the scalpel and finally the saw to cut out the skull. You can use the same procedure on severed heads.
|Your patient has a heart and needs it removed or replaced.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the chest with help intent. To remove the heart, use the tools in the order scalpel-saw-scalpel-saw. Any implants and then bullets will be removed first, so you may have to cut into the chest several times. Needless to say, the patient won't survive for long without a functioning heart. Several types of replacement hearts exist (see Roboticist for a comprehensive list). Cardiac stimulants are also essential for any successful transplant. However, it's worth noting that removing a heart will also transfer all the chemical reagents currently in the patient's system into the heart, so you'll need to top off on those stimulants after removal. You don't even have to wait to insert a new heart since the reagent holder is tied to the patient's body rather than to their heart.
|Chest Item
|Your patient is tired of keeping a terrible secret inside them and wants it removed/replaced.
|Surgery is the only (safe) way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the chest with grab intent. Then, use an empty hand with help intent on the patient to yank the item out.
Other surgery
|Procedure and considerations
|Limb replacement
|The patient is either an amputee or already underwent limb removal, and wishes to have all of them restored.
|Surgery is the only way.
|There are several options for replacement limbs (see Roboticist for a comprehensive list), but the surgery is the same. Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the stump. Attach the corresponding limb and swiftly secure it with the medical stapler.
|Butt replacement
|The patient has no bum and requests a new pair of buttocks.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the chest, then attach a spare butt (any type).
|Butt attachment
|The patient wishes to wear somebody's butt as a hat, permanently.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Ask the patient to put the butt on their head, then aim for the head with the staple gun on help intent. Once affixed, the butt cannot be removed by the wearer, but it may still be ripped off by external forces.
|Eye replacement
|The patient is missing at least one eyeball and wishes to have all of them restored.
|Surgery is the only way.
|Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the head, then insert a spare eye (any type). You have to hold the replacement organ in your left hand to target the left eye socket and vice versa.
|Head reattachment
|You are in possession of a detached head in need of a new body.
|The head needs a new host, and surgery is the only way.
|Find a suitable body (human or monkey), which should not be rotten or a husk. If necessary, prepare the body by placing it on an operating table and beheading it. While aiming for the head, proceed by attaching the severed head, then sew it on with the suture. The new host can now be cloned.
|Brain transplant
|You are in possession of a detached brain (e.g. from a husk) and want to clone it into a new body.
|The brain needs a new host, and surgery is the only way.
|Acquire a body (human or monkey), which should not be rotten or a husk. Place it on an operating table and prepare it by removing its brain. After you've done that, insert the new one and clone the whole abomination.
|Chest Item Implant
|The patient wishes to become a living [noun].
|Surgery is the only way, as there is no suitable implant available and/or easily obtainable.
| Place the patient on an operating table and aim for the chest with the scalpel on grab intent to make a large incision. Place the item inside the chest, again on grab intent. Then, sew the chest area back together with the suture, still on grab intent.
Optionally, you can secure the item before sewing the patient back up by sewing it into the chest cavity on help intent.
Other Ailments
As an MD, you will likely encounter a wide variety of oddities which require special attention. Don't make the mistake to view them as an isolated condition. The treatment should always be flexible enough to handle any ailments and other underlying conditions at the same time. If these go unchecked, chances are the patient will simply relapse.
Shock is usually the first medical emergency that occurs when a patient enters critical health, and can also be caused by severe blood loss. If not addressed promptly, the patient's condition can continue to deteriorate with an increasing chance of developing cardiac failure. What you should do:
- Inject saline either manually or with the sleeper control panel. Medbots may also be of help.
- Stabilize the patient with CPR or epinephrine if required.
Cardiac failure
Cardiac failure is a major emergency that, if left untreated, will rapidly lead to the death of your patient by cardiac arrest. Suggested cures include:
- Epinephrine can be sufficient, provided the patient's health isn't worse than -60%.
- In acute cases, atropine should be administered instead.
Be aware that shock and cardiac failure are, to a degree, independent from the patient's overall health. Even somebody with full HP will eventually suffer a heart failure without epinephrine, so you have to take care of these conditions specifically.
Cardiac arrest
Also known as heart failure, The final stage of the struggle with death, so to speak. If they aren't already in medbay, it is rare for patients to survive this encounter. Aside from grave injuries, it can also be caused by certain poisons (initropidril being the primary candidate) or a defective cyberheart. Remedies include:
- Application of a defibrillator.
- Atropine may be effective as a substitute.
- If both are unavailable, one should find other sources of electric shock. Examples: stun batons, messing with powered wires, electrified grills or doors.
Cardiac abscondment
Indicated by "Subject has no heart" on the health analyzer's readout. The patient's heart is missing, plain and simple. While you can prolong their suffering with cardiac stimulants, this can only be a temporary measure at best. You may try:
- Attempt to stabilize the patient with epinephrine or atropine.
- Combine this with salbutamol and mannitol to address the escalating suffocation and brain damage.
- Transplant a replacement heart as soon as possible.
Is the patient full of histamine and rapidly accumulating brute, toxic, and suffocation damage? You should try:
- Epinephrine is plentiful and works reasonably well.
- Diphenhydramine/antihistamine is the superior alternative.
Hyperglycaemic shock
If someone has a lot of sugar in their bloodstream (around 200+ units), they may fall into a diabetic coma. Scanning the patient with a standard health analyzer won't show anything, but you can deduce why they're collapsing and unconscious by using a reagent scanner. The treatment is:
- Inject them with insulin, which will dramatically increase the depletion rate of sugar.
Radiation sickness usually isn't obvious at a glance, but a health analyzer will reveal the extend of the contamination. Exposure can come from multiple sources, such as radstorms, cerenkite ore, being shot by a rad-bow or radium. As long as the patient is irradiated, he will accumulate toxin damage every second, with more damage per second at higher doses, occasionally suffer burns, and may even randomly mutate. Worthwhile cures are:
- Potassium iodide, basic anti-rad medicine. Trivial to synthesize in chemistry, should you have to.
- Pentetic acid is superior in every aspect, healing toxin damage too.
If those are unavailable, the patient will have to wait for the radiation to subside on its own.
Genetic defects
These are often a direct result of large doses of radiation. Other common factors are imperfect cloning cycles or unstable mutagen. Some jobs, for example, the chef, may spawn with a mostly harmless mutation. The cure is simple:
- Administering mutadone will gradually remove one mutation (good or bad) per life cycle.
To elaborate, this may also come in handy to stop a cloaked, superfarting geneticist.
Addiction functions similar to a non-contagious disease. When scanning the patient, the health analyzer will tell you to which substance (methamphetamine and nicotine are common) they are addicted to and the stage of withdrawal. With each progressive stage, the symptoms become worse: falling over, vomiting, shaking and so on.
- If they still have the chemical in their veins, you can try flushing it out as if it were a poison.
- Ask the patient to hibernate a minute or two in a sleeper, which should cure all addictions.
- Should the patient refuse, they can either take a further dose of the drug for temporary relief, or they'll just have to tough it out and wait until they overcome the addiction. You can offer a bed in medbay until they no longer feel reliant, but this is more for their safety, as they are very weak and open to mugging/assault during withdrawal.
- Chronic jitteriness can be fixed with five units of morphine or haloperidol.
There are many different types of viruses on the station, each with its own effects and possible cures. Some of them will always follow the same pattern, whereas pathology research may synthesize unique diseases every shift. Using a medical analyzer on someone who is infected will display specific information. For minor protection, wearing gloves and a biosuit is recommended. It doesn't hurt to have a syringe of spaceacillin on hand either. You may come in contact with:
- Food poisoning
- The most common condition you will encounter, which is caused by eating bad food. The patient can drink chicken soup, take Robustissin, and/or take a nap by falling asleep in medbay or any other bed.
- Robotic transformation
- The patient has nanomachines in their bloodstream. If nothing is done, their flesh will eventually rip apart to reveal a cyborg. Treat with electric shocks (see cardiac arrest).
- The patient is suffering from an aggressive bacterial infection. Fairly harmless in its early stages, but later on the accumulating toxin and burn damage can be lethal. As the bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, more than one syringe of spaceacillin may be required.
- Kuru
- This fatal condition can be caused by cannibalism, eating brain burgers or exposure to prions. There is no known cure, so scan them with the cloner before they inevitably die.
- Grave fever
- Transmitted by vampires. It must be quickly counteracted with spaceacillin to prevent the patient from rotting away.
- Clowning around
- Usually the result of Admin screwery or rainbow fluid ingestion. Without some spaceacillin, this virus gradually turns the patient into a clumsy clown.

"Guitar sounds sharp like a knife edge" 2) and rough, hard lead vocals "that bear comparison with the former AC/DC front man Bon Scott" 3) give their songs a "clear handwriting" 4). "It can't be overseen, that M.A.D. is creating an own unmistakable style" 4) wrote the newspaper "Donaukurier".
With this style, a mix of classical Hardrock and Heavy Metal (you could call it "True Rock'n Roll") they could convince the audience as support for big names (f.e. Saxon, Edguy, Bonfire, Shakra, Paul Gilbert, Eric Sardinas)as well as act on bigger events (Rock For Asia, Mexico Open Air) or biker parties.
In the beginning of 2007 the guys of M.A.D. released their first album called "Warning!". The Album got very good reviews in the international press and at the "German Rock & Pop-Award 2007" the bandwas honored with the first price for the "Best Hard'n'Heavy-Album" and "Best Hard'n'Heavy-Singer" (signed by Klaus Meine from the "Scorpions").
Now on 19.06.09 their second studio-album, "For Crown And Ring", for which M.A.D. signed their first real record deal at the label "7hard", has been released. The label is a division of the "7us-Mediagroup", that has even signed acts like the former "Chicago"-drummer, Danny Seraphine, the Sweden-rockers "Stone Lake" and the former ABBA guitarist Mats Ronander with his new Band "Stockholm Stoner".
"When in 2007comparisons on their debut with AC/DC, Jackyl or Rainbow suggested themselves, on the second disc of the guys from Ingolstadt around shouter Jochen S. Bach, threr's no doubt, that it happens to be a tick harder. Traditional, timeless Hardrock in the style of the named before (especially "A Long Hard Road") is more or less still their favorite business, but also they're poaching in Teutonic areas of the "True Metal League". When hearing tracks like "Crown And Ring" or "The Warrior" you get amazed that you're reminded of Manowar or even Hammerfall, what is an additional bonus to make the CD more colorful. There will no heavy-ear switch to draft; even the opener "Don't Sell Your Soul" is digging itself into your ear canal with its catchy refrain and the still razor-sharp, easily shoot-from-the-hip guitar riffs of grandmaster Robert Mayer are doing the rest…
The super-blues "Bad Boy Boogie" they are coming Extremely dirty, rough but nevertheless simple out of the speakers; firm riffs that even help the old Tina Turner rocker "Nutbush City Limits" (with saxophone solo) to blaze in new glory." 5)

~ I Make WAR!!!!!~
Galatians 5:16–18
16 But I say, vwalk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify wthe desires of the flesh. 17 For xthe desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, yto keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18 But if you are zled by the Spirit, ayou are not under the law.
This love is not optional. It is commanded. And it is very radical: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." In other words, we are called in our freedom to desire and seek the happiness of others with the same zeal that we seek our own. But if you take this command seriously, it is so contrary to our natural inclinations that it seems utterly impossible. That I should get up in the morning and feel as much concern for your needs as for my own seems utterly beyond my power. If this is the Christian life — caring for others as I care for myself — then it is hard, indeed, and I feel hopeless to ever live it out.
Paul's answer to this discouragement is found in Galatians 5:16–18. The secret is in learning to "walk by the Spirit" (v. 16). If the Christian life looks too hard, we must remember that we are not called to live it by ourselves. We must live it by the Spirit of God. The command of love is not a new legalistic burden laid on our back; it is what happens freely when we walk by the Spirit. People who try to love without relying on God's Spirit always wind up trying to fill their own emptiness rather than sharing their fullness. And so love ceases to be love. Love is not easy for us. But the good news is that it is not primarily our work but God's. We must simply learn to "walk by the Spirit."
So I want to build today's message around three questions: What? Why? And, how? What is this "walking by the Spirit"? Why is it crucial to walk by the Spirit? And, how, very practically, can we walk by the Spirit?
What Is Walking by the Spirit?
First, what is this "walking by the Spirit"? There are two other images in the context which shed light on the meaning of "walk by the Spirit." The first is in verse 18: "If you are led by the Spirit you are not under law." If Paul had said, "If you follow the Spirit you are not under law," it would have been true, but in using the passive voice ("If you are led") he emphasizes the Spirit's work, not ours. The Spirit is not a leader like the pace car in the "Daytona 500." He is a leader like a locomotive on a train. We do not follow in our strength. We are led by his power. So "walk by the Spirit" means stay hooked up to the divine source of power and go wherever he leads.
The second image of our walk in the Spirit is in verse 22: "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, etc." If our Christian walk is to be a walk of love and joy and peace, then "walk by the Spirit" must mean "bear the fruit of the Spirit." But again, the Spirit's work is emphasized, not ours. He bears the fruit. Perhaps Paul got this image from Jesus. You recall John 15:4–5: "Abide in me, and I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit." So "walk by the Spirit" means "abide in the vine." Keep yourself securely united to the living Christ. Don't cut yourself off from the flow of the Spirit.
So in answer to our first question, What is this walking by the Spirit? we answer: It is "being led by the Spirit" and it is "bearing the fruit of the Spirit." The work of the Spirit is emphasized, yet the command is for us to do something. Our wills are deeply involved. We must want to be coupled to the locomotive. We must want to abide in the vine. And there are some things we can do to keep ourselves attached to the flow of God's power. But before we ask how to walk by the Spirit let's ask . . .
Why Is It Crucial to Walk by the Spirit?
Why is it crucial to walk by the Spirit? The text gives two reasons, one in verse 16 and one in verse 18. In verse 16 the incentive for walking by the Spirit is that when you do this, you will not gratify the desire of the flesh. The RSV here is wrong when it makes the second part of verse 16 a command instead of a promise and says, "Do not gratify the desires of the flesh." All the other major versions are right to make it a promise because this particular Greek construction has that meaning everywhere else in Paul. The verse should be translated, for example with the NASB, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." So the first reason we should walk by the Spirit is that when we do, the desires of our flesh are overcome.
In recent messages I've tried to define the flesh as Paul uses it. Most of the time (though not always, see below) it does not simply refer to the physical part of you. (Paul does not regard the body as evil in itself.) The flesh is the ego which feels an emptiness and uses the resources in its own power to try to fill it. Flesh is the "I" who tries to satisfy me with anything but God's mercy. Notice Galatians 5:24, "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." Now compare with this Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me." In 2:20, "flesh" is used in its less usual meaning referring to ordinary bodily existence, which is not in itself evil ("I now live in the flesh").
But the important thing to notice is that in 5:24 the "flesh" is crucified and in 2:20 "I" am crucified. This is why I define the flesh in its negative usage as an expression of the "I" or the "ego." And notice in 2:20 that since the old fleshly ego is crucified, a new "I" lives, and the peculiar thing about this new "I" is that it lives by faith. "The life I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me." The flesh is the ego which feels an emptiness but loathes the idea of satisfying it by faith, i.e., by depending on the mercy of God in Christ. Instead, the flesh prefers to use the legalistic or licentious resources in its own power to fill its emptiness. As Romans 8:7 says, "The mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law." The basic mark of the flesh is that it is unsubmissive. It does not want to submit to God's absolute authority or rely on God's absolute mercy. Flesh says, like the old TV commercial, "I'd rather do it myself."
It is not surprising, then, that in verse 17 there is a war between our flesh and God's Spirit. It is a problem at first glance that there is a lively war between flesh and Spirit in the Christian, according to verse 17, but the flesh is crucified in the Christian, according to verse 24. We'll talk more about the sense in which our flesh is crucified when we get to verse 24. For now, let's give Paul the benefit of the doubt and assume that both are somehow true, and focus on this war within: our flesh versus God's Spirit.
God's Spirit Conquers Our Flesh
Verse 17 says, "For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other to prevent you from doing what you would." The main thing to learn from this verse is that Christians experience a struggle within. If you said to yourself when I was describing the flesh, "Well, I have a lot of that still left in me," it does not necessarily mean you aren't a Christian. A Christian is not a person who experiences no bad desires. A Christian is a person who is at war with those desires by the power of the Spirit.
Conflict in your soul is not all bad. Even though we long for the day when our flesh will be utterly defunct and only pure and loving desires will fill our hearts, yet there is something worse than the war within between flesh and Spirit; namely, no war within because the flesh controls the citadel and all the outposts. Praise God for the war within! Serenity in sin is death. The Spirit has landed to do battle with the flesh. So take heart if your soul feels like a battlefield at times. The sign of whether you are indwelt by the Spirit is not that you have no bad desires, but that you are at war with them!
But when you take verses 16 and 17 together, the main point is not war, but victory for the Spirit. Verse 16 says that when you walk by the Spirit, you will not let those bad desires come to maturity. When you walk by the Spirit, you nip the desires of the flesh in the bud. New God-centered desires crowd out old man-centered desires. Verse 16 promises victory over the desires of the flesh — not that there won't be a war, but that the winner of that war will be the Spirit.
In fact, I think what Paul means in verse 24, when he says the flesh has been crucified, is that the decisive battle has been fought and won by the Spirit. The Spirit has captured the capital and broken the back of the resistance movement. The flesh is as good as dead. Its doom is sure. But there are outlying pockets of resistance. The guerrillas of the flesh will not lay down their arms, and must be fought back daily. The only way to do it is by the Spirit, and that's what it means to walk by the Spirit — so live that he gives victory over the dwindling resistance movement of the flesh. So the first reason why we must walk by the Spirit is that, when we do, the flesh is conquered.
God's Spirit Creates Law-Fulfilling Fruit
The second reason to walk by the Spirit or be led by the Spirit is found in verse 18: "If you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law." This does not mean you don't have to fulfill God's law. You do. That's what verses 13 and 14 said, "Through love be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" And Romans 8:3–4 say, "God condemned sin in the flesh in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit."
Therefore, not being under law does not mean we don't have to fulfill the law. It means that, when we are led by the locomotive of the Spirit, we cruise on the railroad track of the law as a joyful way of life and are not left to climb it like a ladder in our own strength from underneath. When we are led by the Spirit, we are not under the punishment or the oppression of the law because what the law requires the Spirit produces; namely, love. Notice verse 22: the first and all-encompassing fruit of the Spirit is love, which verse 14 says fulfills the whole law.
And to confirm that this is just how Paul is thinking, he ends the list of the fruit of the Spirit in verse 23 with the words, "against such there is no law." In other words, how can you be under the oppression or punishment of the law when the very things the law requires are popping out like fruit on the branches of your life? So the second reason to walk by the Spirit is really the same as the first. Verse 16 says, do it because you get victory over the flesh when you walk by the Spirit. You nip temptation in the bud. Verse 18 says, do it because then you are free from the oppression and punishment of the law, because the fruit the Spirit produces fulfills the law. The Spirit is the fullness that overflows in love. Therefore it conquers the emptiness that drives the flesh, and it spills out in acts of love which fulfill the law.
How Do You Walk by the Spirit?
But the $60,000 question is, How do you walk by the Spirit? All of us have heard preachers say, "Let the Spirit lead you," or, "Allow the Spirit to control you," and have gone away puzzled as to what that means practically. How do you allow the Spirit to control you? I want to try to show you that the answer is, You allow the Spirit to control you by keeping your heart happy in God. Or to put it another way,You walk by the Spirit when your heart is resting in the promises of God. The Spirit reigns over the flesh in your life when you live by faith in the Son of God who loved you and gave himself for you and now is working everything together for your good.
Here's the fivefold evidence from Galatians. First, Galatians 5:6, "In Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love." Genuine faith always produces love, because faith pushes out guilt, fear, and greed and gives us an appetite to enjoy God's power. But Galatians 5:22 says love is a fruit of the Spirit. So if love is what faith necessarily produces and love is a fruit of the Spirit, then the way to walk by the Spirit is to have faith — a happy resting in the promises of God is the pipeline of the Spirit.
Second, notice Galatians 5:5, "For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness." How do you wait for Jesus "through the Spirit"? "By faith!" When you keep your heart happy in God and resting in his promises, you are waiting through the Spirit and walking by the Spirit.
Third, look at Galatians 3:23, "Now before faith came, we were confined under the law." The coming of faith liberates a person from being under law. But what does 5:18 say? "If you are led by the Spirit you are not under law." How, then, shall we seek to be led by the Spirit? By faith. By meditating on the trustworthiness and preciousness of God's promises until our hearts are free of all fretting and guilt and greed. This is how the Holy Spirit fills and leads.
Fourth, see Galatians 3:5, the clearest of all: "Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing of faith?" The Spirit does his mighty work in us and through us only by the hearing of faith. We are sanctified by faith alone. The way to walk by the Spirit and so not fulfill the desires of the flesh is to hear the delectable promises of God and trust them, delight in them, rest in them.
Finally, consider Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me." Who is the Christ who lives in Paul? He is the Spirit. As 4:6 says: The Spirit of God's Son has been sent into our hearts. And how, according to 2:20, does the life of the Son produce itself in Paul? How does Paul walk by the Spirit of the Son? "The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God."
Day by day Paul trusts the Son. Day by day he casts his cares on God, frees his life from guilt and fear and greed, and is borne along by the Spirit. How, then, do we walk by the Spirit? The answer is plain. We stop trying to fill the emptiness of our lives with a hundred pieces of the world, and put our souls at rest in God. The Spirit will work the miracle of renewal in your life when you start meditating on his unspeakable promises day and night and resting in them. (See also Romans 15:13, 2 Peter 1:4, and Isaiah 64:4.)
The Secret of Walking by the Spirit
Yesterday at 5:30 a.m. I was in Pasadena, California, standing in the kitchen of my beloved teacher Daniel Fuller talking to his wife Ruth. One of the things I will never forget about that kitchen is that over the sink are taped four tremendous promises of God typed on little pieces of paper. Ruth puts them there to meditate on while she works. That's how you walk by the Spirit.
I keep a little scrap paper by my prayer bench, and whenever I read a promise that can lure me away from my guilt and fear and greed, I write it down. Then in dry spells I have a pile of promises to soak my soul in. The fight of faith is fought with the promises of God. And the fight of faith is the same as the fight to walk by the Spirit. He works when we are resting in his promises. George Müller wrote (Autobiography, pp. 152–4):
I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. . . . Now what is the food for the inner-man? Not prayer but, the Word of God.
George Müller learned the secret of walking by the Spirit: Meditate on the precious truths of the Word of God until your heart is happy in God, resting in his promises.
Hudson Taylor had learned it too. He received word one day of rioting near one of the inland mission stations. In a few moments George Nichol, one of his evangelists, overheard Taylor whistling his favorite hymn, "Jesus, I Am Resting, Resting in the Joy of What Thou Art." Hudson Taylor "had learned that for him, only one life was possible — just that blessed life of resting and rejoicing in the Lord under all circumstances, while he dealt with the difficulties inward and outward, great and small" (Spiritual Secret, p. 209).
I say to you, brothers and sisters, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. You will have victory over temptation and know the guidance of the Lord if you keep your heart happy in God by resting in his promises.
~Re-inventing Self~
My desire to jump into a new line of work seemed perfectly obvious and natural to me because I wasn't changing my strongest, underlying interest: Why do we humans do such unexpected and often irrational things?
"You're never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream." ~C. S. Lewis
Change means reinvention. Each time a major shift happens in our lives—leaving a job or a relationship, moving, losing a loved one—we have to take control of who we will become or risk never reaching our full potential.
I've reinvented myself several times in my life. Most adults have.
But what I always forget is that we have to choose reinvention. Each time I've done it, I've forged my new path deliberately and with foresight.
When I've waited for my future to find me, I've waited in vain, lost in confusion and sadness, or I've gotten tangled up in a situation I didn't want.
One morning, after struggling for months with grief and loss, I woke up and realized that I was having so much trouble moving forward partly because I had no idea what it was that I wanted to move toward. I was thinking about my past, but not what I wanted for my future.
That morning, I woke with a vision: a crowd of people from the life I needed to leave behind with the sun rising opposite them and me standing between the two, the sun beating down on my face.
In the vision, I decided, finally, to turn from the group and walk toward the sun, my new life.
That vision told me what I needed to hear—that I had to take control of my future instead of letting my pain choose for me.
1. Create a vision for your future.
Sit quietly, close your eyes, and imagine the people, places, or situations that you need to leave behind. Now, imagine the future that you want, whether it's simply a feeling, a group of people, or a situation such as a wonderful new job.
Imagine how it will feel to be in that new place. Allow the picture to shape your future, the warm emotions began to appear on your face.
Stand for a moment and silently voice your appreciation for everything that came before. Once you've thanked the past, turn your focus toward God, and with compassion and gratitude, imagine yourself walking away from the past and into the future.
2. Write about your reinvention.
Imagine a scene from it or write about how you'd like it to play out. Where are you living? What do you do in the mornings, afternoon, and evenings? Who are your friends? What do you spend your days doing?
Continue writing for as long as this exercise feels invigorating and exciting. Write scenes, dialogues, lists, and plans. Make the future come alive. Write about how it will feel to be there. Keep your writing somewhere where you will look at it occasionally. Feel free to add to it.
3. Surround yourself with visual reminders of the life you'd like to create.
If it's a new job in a particular field, put objects or images from that field someplace where you'll see them every day. If it's a home, find a picture of a house that you love and put it near your front door. It can be anything that reminds you of what you're moving toward.
4. Now that you have a vision of your future, break it up into workable tasks.
What do you need to do, every day, to create that vision? Look for work? Meet new people? Search for a place to live in your chosen town? Make it specific. Make a list of everything you need to do and a schedule for when you'll do it. Then do it and commit to keep doing it, one day at a time.
5. Every day, go back to that vision of you walking toward your future.
Every morning or evening, close your eyes and see yourself walking into the rising sun, toward your dreams, and reconnect with why you're moving toward this new possibility.
Reinvention is neither easy nor always smooth. Often, we encounter resistance. We don't want to let go, even of things that cause us pain or that are obviously already out of our grasp. We often struggle with limiting beliefs or stories about ourselves that hold us back from trying new things.
But there is one way to keep your compass pointed to this new life, even in the midst of any resistance or struggles you may encounter on your path.
Each time you find yourself slipping into old habits—isolating yourself, making excuses not to look for work, procrastinating on a task that might help you advance in your career—don't bother wondering why you're doing it or beating yourself up.
Just ask yourself this: "What can I do in this moment to keep moving forward?"
Then, no matter what you feel in the moment—lonely, self-critical, tired, lazy, or disappointed—do something to maintain momentum, even if it's one small thing. There's an old adage that says that true courage isn't about not feeling fear; it's about feeling fear and acting anyway.
Choose courage instead of letting your fear choose your future for you.
I'm currently reading Thinking: Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman; it's provocative in terms of making me think about the way I think – and is making me think about ways that I might "reinvent" myself (which, like Madonna with varying degrees of success, I try to do regularly. Ha!). I'd suggest picking that up, if you're interested in the way our brains work, and how we might rethink how we process information and make decisions – and so, identify how to reboot, reinvent and re-examine our biases and assumptions about the world. How we make decisions and choices is critical to how you decide to reinvent yourself.

Maintaining a good relationship takes time. However, your time is valuable, and you don't want to waste it on a man who isn't interested in you. Some men may not be forthright about their feelings -- or lack thereof -- in fear of hurting you. Instead, they may pull away in other ways. Knowing how to tell if a man isn't interested can save you both from trying to maintain a relationship that wasn't meant to be.
He Avoids You

Probably the most obvious sign that a guy isn't interested in being with you is if he avoids you. He doesn't answer your texts right away or return your calls within a day or so, and he makes excuses as to why he can't make it to your coffee date after all. If you do manage to run into him, he might tell you he needs to be somewhere else. And if you ask him to go with you to a movie or other function, he will make an excuse as to why he can't go -- without asking for a rain check.
He Minimizes You
Jupiterimages/Stockbyte/Getty Images
A guy who refuses to introduce you -- or makes excuses to avoid introducing you -- to his family and close friends is probably not interested in a serious relationship with you, according to bestselling author Steve Friedman in a Match.com article titled "5 Signs He's Not That Into You." And if you do ever get to meet any of the important people in his life, he might introduce you as a friend or co-worker rather than a girlfriend. He might also make excuses to avoid meeting your family or other important people in your life. Check his social media pages, too -- if he never mentions you, posts pictures of you and if his status is set to "single," chances are he is not interested in pursuing a relationship with you.
He Pulls Away From You
Body language can be a big indicator of whether a guy is interested in you. If he looks away when you are talking, folds his arms instead of taking your hand or leans away instead of putting an arm around your shoulders, he is probably not that into you. Other bodily clues that indicate a lack of interest include checking his phone often when you are out together, not letting you see his phone at all and even talking about his ex in an attempt to create some emotional as well as physical distance between the two of you.
He Is Not Considerate of You
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
If your guy never plans dates more than a day or so in advance, he is either an on-call heart surgeon -- in which case, you might want to just put up with it -- or he isn't interested in becoming serious. And when you do have a date, he might be late, or he might ask to change your original romantic dinner date to a more casual cup of coffee. Another sign is if he has no interest in your social life at all. If he asks you to do all the planning and doesn't seem to care what you do, he might be emotionally checking out of the relationship -- if you even had one in the first place.

The Optimus Nova backpacking stove is a full-featured and durable multi-fuel option. It boasts several unique and convenient features such as a long and flexible fuel line, a flip-stop switch on an all-aluminum fuel pump, and a quick priming burner. The downside to these attributes is a heavy and large stove that is impractical for most recreational backpacking trips. Instead, we believe the Nova is better suited to commercial, institutional, or group (3-plus persons) backpacking trips.
Optimus Nova Review
Cons: Heavy, large, complicated
Manufacturer: Optimus
Our Verdict
Our Analysis and Test Results
Combining function, durability, and stylish aesthetics, the Optimus Nova is the Mercedes Benz of camp stoves. Every component, from the legs to the fuel pump, has been designed to withstand whatever your travels dish out. This durability starts ground up with thick turbine shaped legs that fold in a tight bundle around the burner housing. The burner itself is encased in a wildly sturdy, yet compact roundish frame. Like the Dragonfly, this stove has a separate simmer valve that allows for precise flame control.
One of the drawbacks of liquid fuel stoves is their need for priming. This annoying process wastes both time and fuel. Fortunately, the Nova's burner design is more effective than most at capturing heat released by the priming flame. We found that the Nova primed roughly 25 percent (30 seconds) faster than most MSR stoves. While this time savings is negligible, the fuel conservation is likely to be significant over the life of the stove.
The Nova's all-aluminum fuel pump is another feature that separates it from the competition. We found this to be both easier and smoother to operate than all MSR pumps.
Depressurizing fuel bottles has traditionally involved slowly unscrewing the fuel pump while watching liquid fuel and vapor burst out and cover your hands. To remedy this wasteful and hazardous fault, the Nova employs an all-aluminum fuel pump with a flip-stop switch that eliminates fuel spillage when the stove is disconnected from the bottle. The flip-stop switch differs from traditional fuel pumps in that its intake line is attached to one side of the bottle. In order to operate the stove the bottle is turned on one side, immersing the fuel line in fuel. Flipping the bottle over removes the intake line from the fuel, forcing it to suck air, extinguishing the flame, depressurizing the bottle, and cleaning the fuel line and jet. While this process is not instantaneous, we believe this system is a significant improvement over MSR fuel pumps.
Tip: If you plan to keep the stove assembled for future cooking, just turn off the valve on the burner unit. This keeps the bottle pressurized so you can prime it easily for future use. Use the flip switch if you plan to pack up the stove for travel.
Another beneficial feature on the Nova is its flexible and long fuel line. This allows you to position the fuel bottle farther away from the burner and better adapt to rocky ground.
The Nova comes with a full-featured stove bag. This has a pull cord and a zipper, which allows you to fold the bag flat on its back. Inside are numerous pockets for tools, lubricant, spare parts, the fuel pump, and windscreens.
We also liked how the Nova has stylish green accents on its three control valves.
Style and function also bring intricacy. The Nova is the most complicated stove we reviewed. It has a lot of parts, gizmos, and gadgets that increase the probability of something breaking and also make the stove harder to use. While the Nova proved nothing but durable, it took slightly longer to set up than most other stoves reviewed here.
Our least favorite aspect of the Nova is its ludicrously thunderous burner. This roar — the loudest of all stoves tested here — stops conversations and annoys anyone within 100 feet.
A large difference between the design of the Nova and all liquid fuel MSR stoves is the mechanism by which the fuel jet is cleaned. The Nova takes an innovative approach and uses a magnet to clean the jet. This magnet is attached to a multitool that can be used to repair the stove. To clean the jet, simply swipe the magic tool back and forth under the burner. This process differs from MSR stoves, which are cleaned by shaking the stove up and down in a vertical motion. We like how the magnet is easy to use, but are in favor of the simpler design that MSR employs. The magic tool is just another thing to keep track of.
The Nova may be durable, but it's not lightweight. The heavy-duty construction, all-metal fuel pump, and hefty magic tool bring the Nova to a grand total of 15.3 oz. This is the heaviest liquid fuel stove we reviewed.
The Nova is also slightly slower than most other liquid stoves. This difference, roughly 30 seconds, is notable, but not significant.
The Nova also does not come with a windscreen. We believe that a stove of this price should definitely come with a windscreen.
Despite these drawbacks, the Nova remains the most advanced liquid fuel stove we reviewed. We believe that it is an excellent choice for those who prioritize durability, stability, and versatility over weight and size.
Best Application
Heavy duty backpacking, mountaineering, base camps, kayaking.
The Nova is the most expensive liquid fuel stove we reviewed. If you need a durable stove with lots of features, the Nova should last for you decades.

Hello, all!
I come to you today with a set that I've previously tried in the underwired version. That one didn't go so well, but Lonely had a flash sale and long story short, now I have the non-wired version in a 30D and size S briefs. This post will be a review as well as a comparison between the underwired and non-wired.
The Lulu features the same velvet strapping as the underwired Lulu, and has the same criss-cross back. The cups are stretch lace with elastic trimming, which eliminates any gaping that you might have when you're moving around.
I really only have good things to say about this set. I love how comfortable it is, something the underwired Lulu was lacking for me. I like the look of this one better as well, and I think it's because it has less coverage than the underwired version.
Being a gal with broad shoulders, I'm always a bit worried about straps. Since the bra straps are fully adjustable, that really wasn't an issue, and I can see this piece being worn whether you, like me, have broad shoulders, or whether you're on the petite side.
The velvet straps are very stretchy, but support wasn't an issue for me (and rarely is, being a 30D). If you have a bigger chest, you might find that the stretch lace and stretchiness of the straps isn't preferable.
The shape is relatively pointy, but I think that's because it's just a touch too small, causing the slightest quad-boob and compresses my chest a bit. I wear the Lulu under a loose-fitting tank to let the straps show, so the pointiness isn't a problem for me. I'd probably be better off sizing up to a 30DD, but they don't make that size in this style, so it looks like I'll be sticking with the 30D.
The briefs are really comfortable as well, and fit true to size. The velvet straps are hardly noticeable, and don't cut in whatsoever.
In short, I'm in love. The breathable power mesh and stretch lace are supremely comfortable and it's a unique addition to my bra wardrobe. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it, and it makes a plain tank top or t-shirt look a lot more interesting with the straps peeking through. I'm very happy with it and will definitely be buying more in the coming season. With any luck, Lonely will expand their size range and I'll be able to get a 30DD.
As always, thank you for reading!
Until next time,

Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
Jean Grosperrin initially worked as a Cognac broker, evaluating eaux-de-vie and introducing buyers. He now has a collection of atypical and rare Cognacs including this 29 year old, high ABV vintage bottling from Grande Champagne.
Tasting note: Deep gold, bright brassy colour. Powerful aromatics are fruit forward with stewed apricot up front over clove and vanilla. The palate opens with an initial sweet, juicy burst, but it's too quickly superseded by the intense spices and drying oak which throws this Cognac a little out of balance. Delicate aftertaste of spicy dried fruits. 50.2% Alc./Vol.
90 points [Lot No. 190 tasted. Limited to 312 litres].

The 'Green With Envy' Trailer is Perhaps The Best Thing To Come Out This Year!!! Watch It!!!by Gumbercules9000 on May 24th, 2011
Hi Bryan Here…..
There is a new romantic comedy coming out later this year, and it looks like it will be the ultimate Romantic Comedy to ever come out. Most romantic comedies are fairly awful with no point or anything redeemable about them. There are exceptions to this. See Notting Hill, Love Actually, Knocked Up, and Wall-E. But this new 'Green With Envy' starring Amy Adams and Jason Segel looks like it will be far far better than anything else. I for one am looking forward to this almost more than anything this year.
Enjoy the Trailer!!

Today, I explored the possibility of retrieving the data from a server. This was experimented briefly before, but as the final idea developed, it seemed less relevant.
However, I had the idea that rather than filling the app's code with all of the text for the details page, it could be fetched from a server instead. To do this I used a Swift extension called SwiftyJSON. This significantly simplifies the process of fetching data from the server, making the code work better and much easier to read, write and understand.
To start with, I created an array of strings to store all the detail text fetched from the server. The array is made outside of the function used to fetch the data so that it can be used globally, rather than only inside the function. The function, loadDetailText(), is what we call to do the JSON request. The function gets the .json file from a server (in this case my web server as a test) and then reads the data it collects. I used a loop to iterate through the JSON array, and used each iteration to fill a space in the local detailArray.
Below is an image of how the JSON file looks. It is set up as an array of detailText with each detailText having a string. These strings populate the detailArray allowing us to access them individually when needed to place the text in the app.
At the moment, we are unsure which approach would be best for the application, either embedding the text into the app, or fetching it from a server. Embedding into the code currently seems to be the best idea, as it means an internet connection isn't required to use the application. However this experiment with JSON is still valuable as a fallback if ever needed.
