Shurtape MX-200 Pre-Taped Drop Film is contractor professional-grade pre-taped drop film applied with Shurtape CP-27 14-Day ShurRELEASE Blue Painters Tape. It is film with instant static cling with 3/4"-wide CP-27 UV tape to adhere to a surface. It protects surfaces from paint splatters, drips, and over sprays. Excellent for indoor/outdoor use where ultra-violet resistance is desired and easy to use for professional contractors and do-it-yourselfers. The tape can be used on glass, vinyl, metal, wood, painted walls and trim. The tape is not recommended for use on wallpaper, unpainted wallboard, ceiling tile or with uncured coatings.
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

James Baxter Draws
I was always very impressed with the 2002 DreamWorks feature film 'Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'. It had by far the best horse animation that I've ever seen in animated movie, hand drawn no less.
I found this on YouTube. It's the lead animator of Spirit, James Baxter, showing us how he draws the character. It's interesting to see his process and helpful to see one of the greatest animators of our time sketching out this character and explaining the anatomy of a horse as well. If you're an artist, you'll learn by viewing this video. It's in two parts...

Founded in 1887, the Penn Museum has always been one of the world's great archaeology and anthropology research museums, and the largest university museum in the United States. With roughly one million objects in our care, the Penn Museum encapsulates and illustrates the human story: who we are and where we came from. As a dynamic research institution with many ongoing research projects, the Museum is a vibrant and engaging place of continual discovery, with the mandate of research, teaching, collections stewardship, and public engagement—the four "pillars" of what we do.
The Penn Museum transforms understanding of the human experience.
Archaeology is the study of our human past through the material remains and environmental data people have left behind. From the first traces of our earliest human ancestors to 21st century buildings, archaeology analyzes the physical remains created or modified by people in pursuit of a broad understanding of our human experience.
Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present. To understand the full sweep and complexity of cultures across all of human history, anthropology draws and builds upon knowledge from the social and biological sciences as well as the humanities and physical sciences.

Fall in love with someone. Get your heart broken. And then move on and fall in love again. Breathe life every day like it is your first. Try not to forget me.
Those are some of the last words Andrew Driscoll Pochter wrote before he was killed last month, while living in Egypt teaching English to elementary school children.
The words were in a letter he had written, dated June 10, to a camper he had mentored. His sister, 23-year-old Emily Pochter, read the letter aloud to the almost 700 mourners who gathered in the nave of the Washington National Cathedral for her brother's funeral service on an unseasonably gray and chilly Friday.
In addition to his sister, Pochter is survived by his father, Theodore Pochter, and mother, Elizabeth Driscoll Pochter. The family still lives in Chevy Chase.
Raised in Chevy Chase, Pochter graduated from the Blue Ridge School in Charlottesville, Va., and was going to enter his junior year at Kenyon College this fall.
He had turned 21 just a month before he was stabbed in the streets of Alexandria, amongst the tumult of the riots that swept Egypt.
But in the grand space of the National Cathedral, he was remembered as a young man wise and compassionate beyond his years.
"I was glimpsing a great soul," said the Rev. David McIlhiney, the chaplain at his boarding school, when he spoke of Pochter at the service. "So eager to understand the whole world in all its complexity."
He recounted the story of reading Pochter's college admissions essay, which described how the young man discovered a 500-pound loggerhead turtle on a beach in South Carolina and watched, for hours, as she gave birth.
"Right away I knew there was something special, even something holy, about this young man," McIlhiney said.
The Blue Ridge School has been swamped by tributes to Pochter, McIlhiney said.
"They all share a theme," he said. "There was something remarkable about Andrew."
Rabbi Hannah L. Goldtsein, of Temple Sinai, read the Kaddish Yatom, the traditional Jewish prayer of mourning. It was a reflection on Pochter's recent interest in his Jewish heritage. Born of a Christian mother and a Jewish father, Pochter was raised Christian. But while at college he delved into Judaism, even becoming one of the co-leaders of Hillel, an on-campus Jewish group.
The Rev. Rosemarie L. Duncan of St. Columba's Episcopal Church, the church in which Pochter was raised, was also an officiant as was the Rev. Gina Gilland Campbell, of the Washington National Cathedral.

Immediate ban on all guns.
Guns only for military/police.
Bolt/pump/lever action ok, no semi-autos.
Gun laws are fine as they currently stand.
Select-fire weapons should be allowed.
You can have them when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.
I want a tank.
The murder rate (which is the really significant rate) was 5.5 (per 100,000) in 2004 and 4.7 in 2011, according to the FBI website, in fact, as one of my favorite youtube channels proclaims, we are closing in on our all-time low of 4.0 set in the 50's...you know, that period of time when we had all of those gun bans.
Thank god the assault weapons ban wasn't around right before the Zombie Apocalypse. Would make the Walking Dead soooooo boring.
"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies"
Just universal background checks...
And no guns to terrorists/mental health nutjobs/criminals...
And a basic gun safety course...Too many idiots out there don't know safety....Could be administered by gun shop/NRA approved course...
No guns for women either! Apparently they're way too emotionally fragile to be trusted!
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013...tually-not-be/While trying to explain why women in college dont need firearms for self-defense on campus, Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar said even if women feel like they might be raped, their suspected attacker might not actually have intent to rape. So please, put the guns away ladies.
Its why we have call boxes, its why we have safe zones, its why we have the whistles. Because you just dont know who youre gonna be shooting at, he said during a legislative hearing. And you dont know if you feel like youre gonna be raped, or if you feel like someones been following you around or if you feel like youre in trouble and when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop pop a round at somebody.
Im somewhat disappointed that more African Americans dont think for themselves and just go with whatever theyre supposed to say and think."
- Dr. Benjamin Carson
Conservative African-American leaders spoke out against President Barack Obamas call for more Gun Control on Friday, some saying the proposed measures have racist origins.
For black Americans, we know that gun control has ultimately been about people control. It sprouts from racist soil; be it after the, or during the infamous Dred Scott case where black mans humanity was not recognized, said Niger Innis, spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality at the press conference sponsored by the Center for Urban Renewal and Education.
Harry Alford, the president of the Black Chamber of Commerce, praised the National Rifle Association in his speech at the event.
The National Rifle Association was started, founded by religious leaders who wanted to protect free slaves from the Ku Klux Klan, said Alford.
They would raise money, buy arms, show the free slaves how to use those arms and protect their families. God bless you. Many of us probably wouldnt be here today if it wasnt for the NRA.
Alford told The Daily Caller he agrees with Innis that gun control laws have racist origins.
Some of the leaders argued that cities with the most crime have the strictest gun control laws.
How many children have to die, black and white, for us to come to the conclusion that most of the gun violence is in cities with the most gun control? When are we going to change our minds and put some common sense in there? said Ken Hutcherson, former linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys and pastor of Antioch Bible Church in Washington state.
This current administration is far from the truth, said William Owens Jr., founder of God, Guns and the Constitution.
When they take our guns, they will also seek to take our God, and thats when Americans will fight back.
Obama met with a group of African-American leaders on Thursday including Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP president to discuss public policy issues.
I may have found a solution we can live with. Might I recommend this "single-shot" gun ...

"The problem with internet quotes lies in verifying their authenticity."

Field & Stream interview with NRA Executive Vice President and CEO, Wayne LaPierre:
Good read.
Take a look at crime rates in Kennesaw, Georgia (where it is mandatory to possess a firearm in order to live in the city).
Then take a look at the crime rates in Chicago, Illinois (which has some of the strictest gun laws in the country).
I don't own a "assault rifle" (I hate that term), but I don't believe that responsible people should lose their rights to own one because of the actions of a mentally unstable person.
I do not believe any new laws being talked about will stop things like what happened in Newtown, CT from happening. And if new laws are enacted, and another Newtown happens, then it stands to reason that the next step is broaden the laws even more. And where does it all end?
And for those saying that there should just be an outright ban, please do me a favor and open a history book. If you know history, you would know the term "It would never happen" is naïve.
I think that if certain states want to ban assault rifles and guns of war, go for it. We ban RPG's and they can certainly be considered arms. But on the whole...that's all we can or should do. Bad things happen...it's the cost of living in a free society.

Connecting to the Belkin server has been a nightmare. I worked with their customer support by calling 8 different times over a month for lengthy troubleshooting. At their request I called my Internet Provider 3x to have them change channels on my router. Nothing worked. I even set up a different router and ran through all the troubleshooting processes with each on 4 cameras. In addition, I found out that if you want to utilize the motion detection and storage for your camera you must pay $10 per month, per camera. After being strung along by their customer support for a month, I decided to return the cameras for a refund. This cameras were bought as a Christmas present in November.....so then I found out I missed the 45 day limit for refunds. I explained this long laborious issue over and over again to Belkin...to each different person they sent me too. They refused to offer a refund. Now I'm waiting for them to get back to me again on the return process. I've checked the Internet and I see there are many people having problems with this camera and their customer support. My advice is invest more up front and buy a wireless IP camera with motion detection that does not require connection to any vendors servers or services. (free)

Comments about Belkin® NetCam Wi-Fi Home Monitoring Camera with Night Vision:
Confused about installation at first, follow thru all directions it's a snap to install! Have to say spent ten times this much for a home monitoring system from large company and it isn't nowhere near comparable to the NetCam. This is excellent for monitoring your home, pets etc... Best of all no monthly monitor fees! Gives you emails with every movement depending on your setting preference automatically sends pics of movement whereas my expensive system does not! So if there is a break-in you will automatically get pics via email, even if someone tries to unhook cam you will already have pics before it could be turned off.
Going to order more. I recommend this product for anyone with wi-fi, this is probably one of the best devices on the market for security!

Thundertail Flappers are a pain to catch and I can confirm suspicions that closed areas of the isle are the reason why!
If you do the current part of the isle, you'll probably notice very few Thundertail Flappers.
Catching a rare is extremely hard and on some servers even finding any is very difficult.
I used some "creative jumping" to get past the first gate and check and despawn all the flappers up top.
After doing this I was able to find 6-7 of them in the current stage of the isle including my rare.
Basically short of skipping past the gate, your best shot without going insane will be to wait for the Gate of the Emperor to open, giving you access to roughly 14 potential flapper spawn locations.

The man who was at the wheel in an accident that claimed the life of a Silver Spring man on Feb. 1 was arrested just days later for drunken driving.
Brandon Drake Goodman, 21, of Brookeville, has been charged with seven citations in a drunken driving incident that took place at 10:17 p.m. Feb. 12 around Spencerville Road and Veitch Lane, online court records show.
He has a traffic case trial set for Aug. 9 in Silver Spring, according to the records.
On Feb. 1, Goodman was at the wheel of a black 2005 Ford Focus that went off Batchellors Forest Road. In the car along with him was Earl Dong-Min Lee, 19, of Silver Spring, and David Lankford Hampp, 21, of Olney, the son of the car's owner.
Lee, who was sitting in the back seat, was ejected from the car after it went off the road, and hit an embankment and a tree before stopping, according to an initial police accident report.
Lee was pronounced dead at the scene. Goodman has not been charged in the crash that claimed Lee's life. An investigation into that crash is expected to wrap up in the next week or two, police said.
Goodman suffered an ankle injury, a concussion and contusions, while Hampp was injured in the ribs and back in the crash, The Gazette was told at the time.
Susan Lee, Earl's sister, said that she had been unaware of the Feb. 12 drunken driving citation.
"That actually makes me really angry," she told The Gazette after learning about the arrest. "It's not enough that he killed one of his best friends; he still hasn't learned his lesson?"
Lee said the trio had left a sports bar before the crash that claimed her brother's life, and that she believed Hampp had asked Goodman to drive after they left the bar.
Hampp's family did not return repeated calls for comment. Multiple calls to a number listed to Goodman also were not answered or returned.
On Monday, Leonard Stamm, who is representing Goodman in the Feb. 12 incident, said he had not yet seen the police reports surrounding the incidents.
"We're going to be thoroughly investigating it on our end," he said.

FAIRFAX, Va — President Obama told a cheering Virginia crowd that Mitt Romney had come down with the symptoms of a mysterious illness that he called "Romnesia."
"He's forgetting what his own positions are and he's betting that you will too," Obama said at a Friday rally on the campus of George Mason University.
"We've got to name this condition that he's going through," Obama said. "I think it's called Romnesia."
It's part of the Obama campaign's attempt to pin Romney down as a right wing ideologue and to keep him from moving to the center in the general election. Early on, the campaign made a strategic choice to portray the GOP nominee as extreme — rather than as a flip-flopping closet moderate.
"I'm not a medical doctor," Obama said at a rally that largely focused on women's issues. "But I do want to go over some of the symptoms with you because i want to make sure nobody else catches it."
Obama cited alleged Romney reversals on equal pay, abortion, middle class tax cuts and coal as "symptoms" of Romnesia.
"If you say you're for equal pay for equal work, but you keep refusing to sign a bill that protects equal pay for equal work, you might have Romnesia," Obama said.
Obama said, fortunately, there is a cure for Romnesia.
"Obamacare covers preexisting conditions. We can fix you up. We've got a cure. This is a curable disease," he said.
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------
If you think a 35% top tax rate is capitalism and a 39.6% top tax rate is socialism, you might have Romnesia.
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------
If you think food stamps for the poor are handouts and tax cuts for the rich aren't, you might have Romnesia.

Pauly D has already done so much to help Sandy victims, but he's not done yet. We're totally psyched to have him on board to help us out!

I don't believe so. I thought you might be able to by changing your mouse wheel's zoom in your operating system (Windows: Control Panel > Mouse > Wheel). However, I just tried it and it doesn't do anything either.
It seems that even in embedded maps, the API only allows an enable/disable. It doesn't have any settings related to it.

If I register and actually sign with an unique Apple ID on iTunes and main account, on iPhone, in order to use different accounts between iTunes and main Apple identity (without having iTunes available on my PC), how should I change the account without losing backed-up data?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Ask Different is a question and answer site for power users of Apple hardware and software. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The description is not very clear, but yes, you can have different Apple IDs for iCloud and for iTunes purchases (if that's what you are asking).
To do this: on the iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > E*nter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud Backup* > Turn On "iCloud Backup".
Now, to setup a different Apple ID for iTunes purchases, go to Settings > "App Store" or "iTunes & App Stores" > Enter the other Apple ID to be used for purchases.
That way, you can sport 2 separate Apple IDs: one for iCloud backup and one for iTunes purchases.

So far, I do not like UVM very much. This is partially due to external circumstances, such as the cultural differences between Vermont and New York City, and partially due to internal circumstances, such as my stubbornly nostalgic mindset that refuses to embrace change and constantly misses my old life. I face these issues on an everyday basis, and they are reflected in the sounds of my daily life.
If there is one thing I can say is better about college than high school, it is that my classes are not as early. Despite this, I still need two alarms to have any chance of waking up, and procrastination in the form of repeatedly hitting the snooze button is my first act of every weekday.
Since I am still tired, I prefer to make myself breakfast as opposed to going outside to a dining hall. This semester I usually wake up before my roommate and try to be quiet, but when I recorded the sounds of pouring and eating cereal, I realized it was not quite as quiet as I thought. I also like cereal because it represents the usual, seeing as I ate cereal almost every morning for both elementary and high school.
When I finally have to walk outside, to go to my classes for example, it is usually colder than I'd like it to be. I can only speculate that this is the reason for this next sound becoming a much more prominent part of my life, but it could also be the change in my natural environment or something else all together. Whatever the reason, I feel like I've had the longest cold of my life.
When I get back to my dorm, I am usually tired. One of my main sources of happiness here is listening to lively, danceable music that makes me feel good. Aside from the fact that I love this song, another likely reason it uplifts my mood is because I saw the group at a very fun on-the-beach concert with my cousins and sister in France this summer, so it brings me to a happier, more comfortable, and better time.
If I am honest with myself, I realize that listening to music is one of my main forms of avoiding overwhelming feelings brought on by the thought of homework and other daily responsibilities. In an effort to deal with this better, I have started to make To-Do lists more and more regularly to organize my thoughts work more efficiently.
Unfortunately, writing the list is often the most successful part of my day in regards to getting my work done. Part of the reason for this is the clutter in my room. A few times per week, I make some half-hearted attempts to organize my desk before starting my work.
When I inevitably give up on this idea and once again come to the realization that my room is not conducive to working well, I often go to the library. By the time I get there it is already pretty late into the evening (9:20pm in this recording), which I don't mind, because it is less crowded, which means less people for me to listen to and get distracted by (I don't like the silent floors because I feel like every sound I make is way too loud).
When I don't have homework to do, I go to the UVM Men's Basketball games. I am a big basketball fan, and it is fun. With the lone exception of the raucous crowd showing for their nationally televised game, the games would benefit from a larger (and much younger) crowd.
As a funny symbol of my inability to embrace this university as my new home, many nights when the UVM team plays have coincided with when my beloved New York Knicks NBA team plays, and I often rush back to my dorm after the UVM game to catch the end of the Knicks game on my computer.
Due to the fact that I often work late into the night in the library or watch basketball games, and I always ate dinner late back home, I take full advantage of the late night dining services provided at Harris-Millis. I usually go alone, but the fact that its so late and pretty empty makes me mind less.
When describing the three listening modes, composer Michel Chion writes about causal, semantic, and reduced listening. I did not focus on semantic listening—interpreting messages through communication—for this paper because I have conversations far less often than I used to (Chion 50). While recording these sounds, and while listening back to the recordings, I was forced to focus much more on the "traits of the sound" themselves, which is reduced listening (50). However, it is causal listening, or "listening to a sound in order to gather information," that Chion says is the most common, and this holds true for me in not so obvious ways (48). While sounds like the alarms tell me it is time to savor my last few moments of sleep, and sounds from the UVM crowd signify how lively (or not) the atmosphere is, (and are obviously examples of causal listening) much of my causal listening comes from the lack of sounds I pay attention to, which signify to me that I spend too much time alone. When it comes down to it, I think of my time here at UVM as being characterized mostly by silence: the unhealthy amount of time spent doing nothing in my dorm room, the meals eaten alone, the work I do at the library. Seth Horowitz would argue that the reason I feel this way is because I don't pay attention, therefore I hear without listening. After recording the sounds of these seemingly silent activities, I would have to agree with him. As I write this in my otherwise silent room, it occurs to me that I could have recorded the sound of my typing, because it is in fact quite loud. Despite the fact that I don't live in silence, what I really miss from my past is what R. Murray Schafer would call keynote sounds and soundmarks, the sounds that made up my environment. As Schafer writes, "Noises are the sounds we have learned to ignore," and coming to college has resulted in noise having a much larger and unwanted role in the sound of my life.

I went to this place on a Holiday weekend (4th of July) and the staff was extremely helpful. I was serviced immediately and even with 3 cars ahead of me, my full transmission service was completed in only 45minutes. I would recommend bringing a ride or alternative transportation since the neighborhood is less than safe, but in general, straightforward, friendly and affordable service perfect for a college student like my self. I left out of there only spending $95 when other places tried to charge me $150.

World Premiere: Spike Lee Brings to Life Kelly Rowland's Exclusive Track "The Game" for Pepsi Beats of the Beautiful Game
The latest track off Pepsi Beats of the Beautiful Game is the hotly anticipated, hard-stomping, exclusive track "The Game" by Grammy Award winner Kelly Rowland. Sure to bring fans to their feet in stadiums around the world, "The Game" is brought to life through visionary director Spike Lee's endemic look at Brazil's beloved sport – and streets.
Check out the film here where a boy proudly wearing his country colors follows a ball through the streets of his Brazilian favela, taking viewers on his passionate pursuit of his ultimate dream – ending up on a stadium-sized pitch.
Singer, songwriter and entrepreneur, Rowland initially entered the music industry as a member of one of R&B's most iconic trios, Destiny's Child. As a solo artist, Rowland went on to release five studio albums showing her musical range, from the hip-hop smash "Dilemma" featuring Nelly to her vocals on David Guetta's global dance-pop hit "When Love Takes Over." Reflecting on "The Game," Rowland notes the power music has to cut through: "I think that music is always to inspire and to uplift people – and that's what this soundtrack is truly about."
Lee is one of Hollywood's most iconic directors, consistently connecting real, human experiences with persistent and courageous honesty. Known for award-winning films like Do The Right Thing and Love and Basketball, Lee pulls his audience in at its core by revealing universal human truths about what motivates us, inspires love and drives us to achieve happiness and success.
Through both Kelly Rowland's passionate, empowering vocals and Spike Lee's authentic, inspiring journey through Brazil, "The Game" embodies the values of the sport and of life: make it count, never let the challenge break you down, and as the chorus anthems, "Yes we can!"

A Sandusky man was shot in the head Monday morning at his Eddy Henry Way home, according to Sandusky police.
Despite the odds, Lee Donald, 34, is alive and talking at Firelands Regional Medical Center.
He was inside his home in the 1900 block of Eddy Henry Way when at about 4 a.m. he suffered a single gunshot wound to the head, police said. Detectives are scrambling to whittle down the list of possible suspects, but as of Monday evening they had yet to make an arrest.
Emergency dispatchers received an exceptionally calm 911 call from a woman at about 4:10 a.m.
"I'm right here ... what's the address?" the woman is heard saying to someone with her during the recorded 911 call. When the dispatcher asks her to explain the emergency, the woman replies, "Um, someone got shot."
The call was then disconnected. The county's dispatching system, which pinpoints the location of calls made to 911, traced the call to the home where Donald was shot. At about the same time, officers received a call from Firelands Regional Medical Center, alerting them to a shooting victim in the emergency room, Sandusky police Detective Gary Wichman said.
Hospital surveillance footage showed a dark SUV drop off Donald. Officers held a woman in custody Monday afternoon and searched her vehicle, as it matched the description of the SUV at the hospital, but she was released later in the day.
Her vehicle is not the one police are searching for, Wichman said. Detectives are still trying to find the person who dropped Donald off at the hospital.
Donald later told detectives he has no idea who shot him, Wichman said. He told police he was sitting in his living room watching television when he heard someone pounding on his door. He said he opened the door, but he remembers nothing beyond that.
Monday morning, detectives placed police tape around the home and processed the scene for several hours.
The main door had an apparent bullet hole in it, and officers found a handgun shell casing inside the house.
Officers also seized trace amounts of marijuana from the home, Wichman said.
Donald is a registered sex offender who has been charged with numerous crimes over the past 15 years, including rape, assault, trespassing, theft, menacing, disorderly conduct and various drug and traffic offenses, according to court documents. In September 2010, he was the victim of an apparent knife fight outside a Perkins Avenue bar.
At the time, he told police he had no idea who assaulted him, according to a past Register article.
At about 11 a.m. Monday, meanwhile, a group of Donald's friends and relatives showed up at the hospital with plans to visit him, police said. Officers asked the group to leave, and they arrested Rayshawn Grant, 35, of the 1000 block of W. Washington St., charging him with disorderly conduct and obstruction.
Police have not speculated on a motive for the shooting, although Donald's friends said they suspect it was related to an argument involving a woman.
A Sandusky man was shot once in the head at about 4 a.m. Monday inside his home on Eddy Henry Way, police said.
Lee Donald, 34, of the 1900 block of Eddy Henry Way, remains in the intensive care unit at Firelands Regional Medical Center. He was conscious and answering detectives' questions when they spoke to him at the hospital shortly after the incident, Sandusky police Detective Gary Wichman said.
Police are still gathering details and tracking down possible leads on suspects.
Wichman said a handgun was likely used in the assault, given the nature of Donald's wound.
Police were also called to the hospital later Monday morning when up to 15 people showed up, intending to visit Donald in the intensive care unit. One person was arrested at the hospital: Rayshaun Grant, 35, of Sandusky, was charged with disorderly conduct, police said.

Goodwill stores across the region were calling on Chris Jeffery for inventory Friday morning, and he had precious little to offer.
Donations have dwindled so much that Goodwill Industries' operations center at 3217 Brooklyn Ave. has lots of empty space where rolling carts filled with used clothing, shoes, sporting equipment and other goods should be. If that operations center looks lean, it means the nine area Goodwill stores will run short on inventory soon, too. "All the things that stores sell flow out of this facility," Jeffery said.
He said donations are arriving at only 30 percent of the usual pace. It hasn't been a slow decline, either; the pace of material flowing into the Goodwill stores has collapsed in just the last couple of weeks.
Speculation as to the cause varies. Jeffery mentioned the weather – first an ice storm, then a snow storm in a short period, both of which discourage people from running optional errands. The state of the economy may be a drag on donations, too, he suggested.
Thirty-five people staff a single eight-hour shift, six days a week, at the operations department – a kind of sorting warehouse attached to the Brooklyn Avenue store. Besides considering whether donations are marketable in this area, the workers at that operations center also sort materials for recycling and prepare them for redistribution to stores around the area.
Retail and Operations Director Lori McCutcheon appealed Thursday for more donations for the regional Goodwill. "We are really desperate for donations, especially housewares and shoes." she said in that appeal. "We had a very hot summer and not as many people had garage sales as they normally do. We saw a slight uptick at the end of summer, but we went into the fall knowing we were low." She said donations collected at peak times, such as summer, enable Goodwill to keep its nine stores at full capacity during the winter months when bad weather slows down giving.
Besides providing direct employment at its operations center and area stores, money from its stores also funds the organization's work to help the disabled and others with employment barriers find work.

Dressed in crisp blue windbreakers and worn-down sneakers, 26-year-old Jaime Torreblanca and his younger brother Juan set to work on a customer's silver Audi sedan.
Their jackets and the two utility vans sitting in the Audi owner's Rockville driveway read "Epic Carwash and Detail," the name of the mobile business the brothers started two years ago.
The brothers and their two employees popped open the car's four doors and trunk, vacuuming carpets and spraying a formula over the exterior for a waterless wash — a technique the brothers learned from experts in California.
"We could do this in a living room," Jaime said, opening the back doors of the van. "We don't have to worry about getting anything wet."
Juan, 24, and Jaime were recognized by Under30CEO, a business news website, as two of the most promising entrepreneurs in the Washington, D.C., area. The company brings their cleaning and detailing service to customers' homes and businesses in Montgomery County.
To get recognition from Under30CEO, local entrepreneurs had to make between $50,000 and $10 million or have that much in funding. The Torreblancas' business made $80,000 in revenue in 2011, and over $250,000 in 2012.
According to Jaime, the growing business is just part of how his family is achieving the American dream.
The Torreblanca family — Jaime, Juan, their sister Alexandra, their father Jaime L. and mother Marcela Benavides Torreblanca — are undocumented immigrants. They came to the U.S. in 2001 to escape a job drought in Arequipo, Peru, their hometown. A few of their close friends also left Peru, but moved to Spain or other countries where they could easily become citizens.
The Torreblancas came to the United States as tourists, Jaime said, but they intended to move here permanently. His father's brother, who owned a two-bedroom apartment in New York City with his family, welcomed them.
The Torreblancas left their closest relatives, pets and a comfortable four-bedroom home in the Arequipo suburbs to fly to New York City with two packages full of all the clothing they could carry.
Alexandra, who was 7 at the time, thought the family was taking a long vacation. Moving to Queens was a "huge" change of pace, she said.
"We went from a huge amount of space to no space whatsoever. Chaos," Jaime said.
It was "tiny, like a fishbowl," their mother, Marcela, said.
They were cramped in the small apartment for several months, long enough for Marcela to consider moving the family back to Peru. Her children had attended good schools in Peru, and she only wanted the best for them. In New York City, Jaime's school had metal detectors at the entrance.
"We were expecting things to be better," Alexandra said, "but they were not better at all."
Later that year, a family friend helped them find an apartment in Maryland. The name "Maryland" invoked the name of the Virgin Mary, and gave their new home special meaning.
The family friend signed the lease with his name, and another brought them mattresses and made sure they had a place to sleep.
"They trusted us," Marcela said.
Another friend, Teresa Wright, helped the Torreblancas hire a lawyer when they applied for deferred action. Wright, an employee of Montgomery County Public Schools, was recognized by the school system in 2004 for helping the children of immigrant families get the most of their education.
As a parent resource teacher for MCPS' English for Speakers of Other Languages department, Wright holds evening workshops for parents. Marcela would often attend.
"The Torreblanca family is my pride and joy," Wright said. "They know that education is the thing to be successful."
Wright said the Torreblanca siblings applied for college scholarships and various volunteer opportunities in the area.
Wright works mainly with Gaithersburg High School students and in the Watkins Mill cluster, but she said working with the City of Gaithersburg "is a dream" because of the resources they provide for finding jobs and homes.
The Torreblanca family heaped praise on Wright and her work.
"She's our angel," Marcela said.
Alexandra said there were always people who could help their family, whether it meant visiting a soup kitchen or giving the three siblings presents for Christmas.
When they first came to the United States, they were "hesitant" to reach out and ask for help, Jaime said, but they soon developed a network of friends who cared for them.
In turn, they've helped families who have worked with Wright. Marcela said they have helped advise families from Bolivia, Columbia and Peru on legal matters and how their children could apply for deferred action, a status awarded by the Department of Homeland Security to undocumented immigrants who came to this country as children. Individuals who receive approval do not become lawful citizens, but will not be prosecuted or deported for a two-year period.
Jaime, Juan and Alexandra all applied for deferred action and received approval over the last few months. Jaime was notified of his approval in January.
Before deferred action and the Dream Act were in the news, Wright said, the families she helped were reluctant to identify themselves as immigrants. Students were more open about their citizenship status after deferred action became an option for them, she said.
"We always worked with undocumented kids," she said. "Now we call them the Dreamers."
The Torreblanca siblings were willing to share their story with The Gazette once they were approved for deferred action. Jaime said he hopes their experience will inspire other immigrant families to create better lives for themselves in the United States.
"We love America. We're very happy to be here," he said. "But we didn't know we were going to be working our butts off, day and night, you know, to be able to reach that American dream. It's not like it's going to come free just because you're in America."
According to Jaime, he and his brother paid slightly under $10,000 in income tax in 2012.
His father, Jaime L., owns his own business and works as a painter and handyman. He painted the walls of their Gaithersburg townhouse and built their floor-to ceiling entertainment center.
"My husband works Monday to Monday," Marcela said.
Marcela works as a maid in Potomac and Bethesda, but she wants to start a business with Alexandra. Called "MarcAle," a combination of their first names, the mother-daughter team plan to host parties for young girls, where the guests can decorate their own purses and backpacks.
Marcela said her children helped her buy the sewing machines she uses to make the bags. For now, Marcela is stocking up on bags she makes in their Gaithersburg home.
Alexandra, a student in her first year at Montgomery College, is considering her options for higher education. Though she hasn't sent out any applications yet, Alexandra said she would like to apply to the University of Maryland to study engineering.
Jaime, Juan and Alexandra said their parents made huge sacrifices for their family to live in the United States. Jaime started Epic Carwash and Detail to help his parents live comfortably, and eventually help them buy their own home.
Marcela said her family has been lucky to have good health and dependable friends.
"Always, God blesses us," she said.
