On June 17, 2011, Idaho Falls police officers joined a search for a wanted suspect who had fled from the State Police. When they encountered the suspect's vehicle, the suspect fled to his residence. Officers pursued him to make the arrest. The assailant grabbed a .32 and shot Officer Malin Reynolds on his Second Chance® Summit™ SM01 Level II vest just one inch from the edge. Officer Reynolds was still able to tackle the assailant to the floor where he and other officers returned fire, killing the assailant. Officer Reynolds was taken to the local hospital as a precaution.
This was The Safariland Group's first confirmed NIJ 0101.06 ballistic SAVE.
The Second Chance Summit SM01 II vest worn by Officer Reynolds was approved by the National Institute of Justice under the Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor NIJ Standard-0101.06 which established minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of personal body armor. The standard provides improved performance of body armor so that officers receive adequate protection against those threats likely faced over the next decade. According to the new NIJ-06 standard, body armor must now be able to defend against increased velocities of ammunition calibers to better reflect current street threats and law enforcement duty weapons. These new performance requirements are critical components to improving the life-protecting equipment being used by law enforcement today.
Were you or an officer you know involved in an event while wearing any
Safariland safety equipment?

Read Below in Emerald and Eric's Bio to Understand
Emerald Lea Lahote
Emerald is your typical girl. She is twenty three and has two children, Jason and Emily.
Before she had Emily, Emerald was with her parents and Jason. Her best friend Eric had abandoned her when he found out she was pregnant.
So Emerald lived, had her son and stayed with her parents, still hurting from losing her best friend.
But when Emerald goes shopping for groceries she runs into Eric and he imprints on her. Since then she has been through a lot, with how Eric treated her, how her dad handled it, and how she lives through it.
Emerald is now married to Eric, and that's when her second child came along, and all in her life is going well, that is until Embry comes along and imprints on Emily, Emerald and Eric's daughter.
Emerald has a full life, and not one day goes by where something big, be it bad or good, happens.
Emerald loves her life and wouldn't trade it for anyone.
Emerald | Twenty Six | Married to Eric | Two Kids | Taken By Rebekah
Eric is the son of San and Emily, and the biological father of Emily, step fathering Jason.
His parents raised him to think that sex before marriage is a sin, let alone getting pregnant.
So when Emerald gets pregnant with Jason, Eric abandons her, and lets her do it alone with no help, when Jason's dad want's nothing to do with him.
He was alone, dating Macie, now a wolf, having a good life, but part of him still misses Emerald.
When he runs into Emerald, while going grocery shopping, he finds out that he will miss Emerald a whole lot more if he's away for to long. He imprinted.
So now he has his own child and is married to Emerald, seeing Jason as his own son, and has a daughter. What else could he ask, until his parents start bugging to see Emily, and not Emerald or Jason.
Eric keeps trying to tell his parents that Emerald and Jason are part of his family also, and if they want to see Emily so much, they will see Emerald and Jason also.
He know's the only reason that his parents want to see Emily so much is that she is blood, and Jason isn't.
Things aren't going his way lately, especially when Embry imprints on Emily.
Eric | Twenty Seven | Married to Emerald | One Kid | Taken By Skylar
Jason is the innocent boy who's father left him before he was born. All he knows is that Emerald's ex boyfriend is his dad, but Emerald wont tell him who.
He is now a big brother and loves his sister, but likes playing alone, which his sister wont let him do that much.
He's a big mommy's boy, and loves Eric, seeing Eric as his own dad. He is a good boy.
Jason | Five | To Young | One Parent | Taken By Skylar

Emily, the newest, youngest happiest member in the family. She doesn't understand much of what's going on with the family drama.
She love playing, and copying her brother, and playing with her brother.
She want's to play, and knows she has a new friend to play with, but doesn't know why Embry come's around so much.
She is a happy girl, and named after both her grandmothers.
Emily | Two | To Young | Two Parents | Taken By Rebekah

Paul, the hothead of La Push, s proud husband, father and grandfather.
Most of the time with Jason, Paul didn't think he would get another grandchild, then Emily came.
Paul is very protective of his daughter and grandchildren, and no one will want to hurt them, since, like mentioned before, Paul is the hothead
Paul is also a loyal kind hearted guy, if he likes you.
Paul | Forty Eight | Married To Rachel | One Kid | Taken by Skylar
Rachel is the wife, mother and grandmother in here, and still looking quite young.
She, in ways, can be much worse than Paul, when it comes to attitude, but that's because she cares about her family.
Paul learns many times how she can be when she's angry, and she often finds many ways to get mad.
She's a kind woman, and reasonable, if she likes you.
Rachel | Forty Seven | Married To Paul | One Kid | Taken by Rebekah
Embry just came in, and imprints on Emily. Paul and Eric aren't to pleased. He kept phasing until he imprints, not expecting her to be so young.
Now you reading this, don't freak, he's a friend to Emily at first.
He's also there to protect her at all costs, and wont let anyone hurt her, just another person there, protecting little Emily.
He's just a funny guy, who seemed to come into the family.

Carlos Beltran hits 14th homer of season to spark Cardinals past Padres
ST. LOUIS -- When the first five San Diego Padres reached safely, it looked as if it'd be a long night for rookie Lance Lynn. The St. Louis Cardinals pitcher showed veteran presence after that.Lynn came back with five scoreless innings after a three-run first Wednesday night and the Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres and former St. Louis postseason star Jeff Suppan 6-3 for a three-game sweep.At 7-1, the 25-year-old right-hander is tied with the Phillies' Cole Hamels for the major league victory lead."When you give it up, you can't keep giving it up or it's going to be a long night," Lynn said. "You don't have to change your approach, you just have to grind more, concentrate more, dig deep and make a pitch when it matters."Lynn entered the season with one career victory and didn't seem overly impressed with his total this year."We've got seven wins when I'm pitching," he said. "That's all that matters."Carlos Beltran hit his NL-leading 14th home run for the go-ahead runs, also his first homer in 10 days. Before missing four straight starts with a sore right knee, Beltran had homered six times in six games."You can't expect that to happen every week, you know," Beltran said. "I just hope that I can go out there and feel good at the plate and be able to contribute."Being able to hit home runs like that, it happens once or twice in a season."David Freese snapped a 3-for-34 slump with a homer and RBI single as the Cardinals had more than enough offense minus injured starters Lance Berkman, Jon Jay and Allen Craig. Berkman is out at least six to eight weeks with a knee injury."Lance, we don't know what's going to happen with him, and some other guys are battling injuries," Beltran said. "But we as a team have to fight with what we have and right now we're doing a pretty good job."Will Venable hit his sixth career leadoff home run and also doubled and singled for the Padres.San Diego was held to three or fewer runs for the seventh straight game and fell to a major league-worst 4-13 on the road.Suppan (2-3) labored for 97 pitches in 4 2/3 innings, giving up five runs in his fifth start for San Diego.The 37-year-old right-hander was the 2006 NL Championship Series MVP for the Cardinals and was the lone pitcher on that World Series title team to win a game in each round. The St. Louis fans hadn't forgotten, giving him a warm ovation with some standing as he left the mound."It was very nice, I was very grateful," Suppan said. "I was still in the moment of my outing, so I wasn't able to take it all in."Suppan, who spent all of last year in the minors, entered 2-0 with a 2.42 ERA in four career starts in St. Louis as a member of the visiting team.Matt Holliday singled to start the fifth ahead of Beltran's first homer in 10 days. Freese's ninth of the year made it 6-3 in the seventh."Sometimes you've just got to start over and get back to the basics and figure some things out," manager Mike Matheny said of Freese. "It looked like it worked pretty good for him today."Lynn, in the rotation for the injured Chris Carpenter, recovered from a three-run first. He went six innings and worked out of frequent trouble with the Padres stranding nine runners while he was on the mound."Well, he wiggled out of a few jams and we just couldn't get that big knock, that ball in the gap to really break his back," Padres manager Bud Black said. "And Beltran really broke our back with that home run."Victor Marte and Marc Rzepczynski worked a scoreless inning apiece and Jason Motte finished for his eighth save in 11 chances.Venable hit his third homer of the season on Lynn's second pitch. The first five Padres reached safely with Chase Headley's RBI single making it 2-0. Cameron Maybin was caught stealing for just the second time in 15 chances on a pitchout to hurt San Diego's shot at a bigger inning.Jesus Guzman, San Diego's cleanup man with no homers, was hit by a pitch for the first two times of the season in his first two at-bats.Skip Schumaker had an RBI double and the Cardinals added RBI singles from Freese and Matt Adams to tie it in the bottom of the first. Suppan needed 54 pitches to get through two innings, escaping damage in the second after walking Schumaker and Holliday with two outs.
Game notesVenable is a career .413 hitter (26 for 63) against the Cardinals with four RBIs. ... In 30 career starts in St. Louis, all but five for the Cardinals, Suppan is 11-5 with a 3.06 ERA. ... Headley returned after missing one game with a lower back injury. ... Eric Stults makes his second start for the Padres Thursday at New York against the Mets. The lefty allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Angels with no decision in his first start. ... Jake Westbrook was 1-1 with a 1.74 ERA in two starts last year against the Phillies, the team he faces on Thursday in St. Louis. ... Holliday is 9 for 16 against Suppan with three homers and six RBIs, though he was limited to a single and a walk in three trips.

"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"
"In agonizing over how to address placards, it became obvious due to the size that one per person was necessary and I hadn't ordered enough. Re ordered and recd in time for my wedding!"
"This is such a beautiful design! The paper is very sturdy and stands up well on its own, and both the color of the paper itself and the color of the leaves in the design are rich and very pretty. I requested for the designer to slightly change the format of the placecard (we are writing names instead of table numbers on them) and they did exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend this product to anyone!"
"I don't have anything to say but thanks for your beautiful work. I've been your client for several months and my satisfaction is over the top :)"
"These were perfect .I made holders from different wine corks that I had collected and the place cards looked wonderful in them. The paper quality was great and color was just what I wanted. The staff answered all my questions and delivery was ahead of schedule. I was more than pleased. Thank you."

What's So Funny about Peace, Health and Anal Understanding?
Check out the latest Harm Reduction Coalition podcast…a very informative conversation with anal health and pleasure activist and educator, Bryan Kutner!
And here are some resources Bryan wants to share:
- IRMA's FAQ about anal lubricants (PDF)
- Top 10 Rules about Anal Sex: From the Good Vibrations website, based on Jack Morin's book, Anal Pleasure and Health
- Women, Unprotected Anal Sex and HIV Risk: A report from NYC DOHMH that frames anal sex as a women's health issue, not just an MSM issue. Bryan says, "I hardly agree with the proclamation that "The message is clear…use a condom every time…" but that's a commissioner's message, not a harm reduction worker's words."

Current available version: alpha 0.11 (December 2013)
About Enola
Enola is a horror/adventure game about love, hate, and death. You play as a young girl on a mysterious place, looking for her missing girlfriend. However, as you explore this world, you find there is something dark and evil lurking in the shadows. You'll have to be quick and cunning to survive. Do you have what it takes to save your loved one before it's too late?
As you uncover the secrets, you learn the game is driven by its story and characters, and that survival is only one of its elements. Enola is not the kind of game that 'frights' you; we want it to emotionally hurt you and stick with you.
We don't want Enola to be a game about fighting monsters or zombies, and we also want to stay away from any "supernatural" type of horror because we're interested on a more "human" kind of fear, because humans are capable of horrible things, and we really want to explore that with this game.
Key features:
Story-driven - Enola may be a horror game, but from gameplay elements to level design, Enola pushes the boundaries of the genre with a captivating and intriguing love story.
Horror Without Monsters - Enola pushes the emotional boundaries of the player, putting them in an isolated, defenseless state of mind.
Unconstrained Mechanics - The mix of first person mechanics and old-school adventure games allows players to keep track of clues and figure out puzzles without the constraints of traditional point-and-click interfaces.
Frightenly Calculated Puzzles - Death traps meant to put players' nerves to the test. Some puzzles are the usual "fail and try again" ones, but in other cases, failing can mean death...
Replayability - Random events can add variation to the story experience, with different visuals unique information about the story.
Superb Voice Acting and Musical Score. - Enola now offers a spine chilling soundtrack and immersive voice acting and sound effects. Superb voice acting and musical score.
Support the making of Enola!!!
You can alpha-fund Enola by buying it right now for $9.99 (full price will be $14.99). You get instant access to current and future alpha builds, so you see how the game takes shape and help us with your input. Of course, you'll also get a DRM-Free digital copy of the game when it's finished.

Mapping the transcriptional and genetic regulation of NRG1s during normal human brain development could help identify a potential mechanism of early risk for schizophrenia at the NRG1 locus.
Maternal inflammation level during pregnancy was related to risk of schizophrenia in offspring, adding new evidence for the association of infection and immune activation with the development of the disorder.
A robust association was found in patients with schizophrenia between cortical thinning in ventral prefrontal regions and increased impulsivity, which likely reflects an impaired interaction with regions affecting cognitive control regions. As urgency plays a key role in aggression in people with schizophrenia, behavioral and neural targets may be found for interventions for remediation.

This is a video I made for Weird Al's Everything You Know Is Wrong!
For those of you who may have seen my Albuquerque video, keep in mind that this one is quite a bit shorter, but I still consider it better than any of my previous works.
I don't really have anything else to put here, so I'll just leave with an "I hope you enjoy!"

You did it!
You managed to convince me to write a review today. ^_^
I just got two things to say: 1. You're a really good artist, and 2. I'm amazed that you managed to actually make a movie about random things....that looked random, yet fit the song at the same time!!!
Did you know that it's almost impossible for a person to do things completely randomly? Or maybe that's wrong too....oh well, great flash!

Saint Peter looks really like how the animaniacs did him, is that where you got the idea?
