It's been a busy ten weeks here at PS3 Attitude. It is easy to forget just how many great developers are out there, so our intention with this feature was to take the time to thank them for their dedication to the videogame industry.
When Deus Ex: Human Revolution gets released in early 2011, it will become only the third game in the franchise's ten year history. However, we suspect we'll be seeing more Deus Ex over the next decade after Square Enix's President and CEO, Yoichi Wada, told MCV that the company expects to be making a profit from the franchise for the next ten years.
Believe it or not, the PlayStation 3 was released nearly four years ago, and since then the console has been graced with hundreds of great titles. Therefore, we at PS3 Attitude thought we'd take some time to pay tribute to the people who create the games that make our mundane lives just that little bit more entertaining: the developers.
It's that time again, so get ready to be parted from your money by another fantastic edition of Deals of the Week!
Here at Attitude Towers we've spent the week tirelessly scouring the internet using all kinds …
The first piece of downloadable content was released this week for Just Cause 2, and if you have yet to make your mind up whether it is worth your money, we have a new trailer for you to help make your mind up.
We love Just Cause 2. Sure it has its problems, but they are overshadowed by a huge game map crammed with weapons, vehicles and Easter eggs.
Well the game is set to get a little bit better as Square Enix has announced two DLC packs that will be hitting the PSN over the course of the next month.
We hope you enjoy blowing things up!
looking island whilst exploring Just Cause 2.
Is that a smoke monster we hear?
Square Enix London has just announced that the demo for Just Cause 2 will be released next week.
SQUARE ENIX has released two new trailers for Just Cause 2.
After seeing them, we wonder why they bothered with a plot.
Watch the 'Freedom and Chaos' trailer after the break.
Seriously – just watch it.
Fans of parachuting and grappling hooks, we hope you're sitting down. Announcing via a tweet on the official Eidos Twitter account, a demo for Just Cause 2 is inbound.
EIDOS has revealed a video showing the DLC delights you will recieve if you pre-order Just Cause 2.
So what can you expect to gain if you lay down some early cash?
Have you ever played a game and thought, "Wouldn't that have been awesome if it were recorded?" Well, Just Cause 2 will feature a built-in video capture mode that is exclusive to PS3 owners.
Players will be able to capture and upload intense base jumping, sky diving and military destroying videos straight to YouTube for the whole world to see.
SquareEnix have sent out a newsletter detailing just what early-bird fans of parachuting and explosions can expect when pre-ordering the limited edition of Just Cause 2.
Entitled "The Black Market Chaos Pack", the DLC comprises of a bunch of weapons and a handy intel map. Behold!
Square Enix has today finally announced the release dates for the up and coming title Just Cause 2.
You may remember awhile ago we found out that the PlayStation 3 version would be receiving exclusive features such as video recording and YouTube uploading.
Developer Avalanche has announced at an event in London this week of some special news regarding their title Just Cause 2.
The action game is due to be released sometime next year, and it will be getting some PS3 specific features.
Check out the following new gameplay trailer for Just Cause 2 embedded below.
Showcasing the game's verticality, the designers talk about what you can accomplish with the simple tools of a grappling hook and a parachute. Apart from floating serenely towards your enemies before opening fire on them, it also allows such cool prospects as base jumping 1.5 kilometres.
The E3 Just Cause 2 trailer was a guilty little pleasure.
Surprising us with its intense high-action gameplay and lush exotic graphics, the title quickly raced up our interest scale.
Now it's Gamescom and time for the grappling hook wielding explosion-athon to show us what it's been up to over the last few months.

Wednesday's are Never Wordless
This is my kind of spring morning. Damp, cool and not too muddy…yet! So if you can sneak in some time to do a little planting or dividing, why not utilize these perfect weather days that may seem drag-out dreary but are primo for plants.
Still not ready to get on your garden wet suits and delve into the dirt? Then at least take a spin around to see what's blooming. So onto the real quest of today's blog; it's time to mention one of my favorite early flowering spring perennials – Hellebores, often referred to as Lantern Rose. Click on my archived blog of last February to see what I was yakking about then regarding this awesome perennial. http://blog.bilowzassociates.com/2010/02/hellebores-are-coming.html
Still not convinced to get outdoors on a damp Wednesday or maybe there's only enough time to squeeze in a quick trip to the nurseries on your way home from work? This is when you find Hellebores for sale because its flower is in bloom.
So don't make Wednesday's wordless. Start talking Hellebores. And if you need a little chuckle in your Wednesday, think about Ralph Waldo Emerson's infamous quote. "Earth laughs in flowers." What a pleasant way to view spring as the blossoms unfold in our garden. P.S. There is no such thing as a wordless Wednesday in an Italian's life.

Some of these points may seem obvious to you. Who would try to put a price tag on a prayer quilt? But you may wonder about the second point. Often people would prefer to surprise someone with the gift of a prayer quilt. That's the way gifts are usually given, right? But we have found through experience that a surprise prayer quilt may be an inappropriate gift in some cases. Of course, we agree that everyone could benefit from the gift of prayer, but stop to consider how this particular gift is made. The recipient might not be comfortable being a "prayer focus" for a congregation or any large group of people. There is also the question of confidentiality. How much information would that person like to have shared about their situation? For that matter, do we really know how that person would like to have us pray for them? We not only ask for permission before making the prayer quilt, we also ask what prayers they would like us to offer on their behalf.
If you find that a prayer quilt is not the appropriate gesture in a particular circumstance, consider offering a prayer bear or a prayer square.
If you would like more information about our "Three Commandments", or if you would like to discuss these points before you are ready to start a chapter, please contact us by email.

Quantum physics offers a way. In 2012, Jay Olson and Timothy Ralph, both physicists at the University of Queensland in Australia, laid out a procedure to encrypt data so that it can be decrypted only at a specific moment in the future. Their scheme exploits quantum entanglement, a phenomenon in which particles or points in a field, such as the electromagnetic field, shed their separate identities and assume a shared existence, their properties becoming correlated with one another's. Normally physicists think of these correlations as spanning space, linking far-flung locations in a phenomenon that Albert Einstein famously described as "spooky action at a distance." But a growing body of research is investigating how these correlations can span time as well. What happens now can be correlated with what happens later, in ways that elude a simple mechanistic explanation. In effect, you can have spooky action at a delay.
These correlations seriously mess with our intuitions about time and space. Not only can two events be correlated, linking the earlier one to the later one, but two events can become correlated such that it becomes impossible to say which is earlier and which is later. Each of these events is the cause of the other, as if each were the first to occur. (Even a single observer can encounter this causal ambiguity, so it's distinct from the temporal reversals that can happen when two observers move at different velocities, as described in Einstein's special theory of relativity.)
The time-capsule idea is only one demonstration of the potential power of these temporal correlations. They might also boost the speed of quantum computers and strengthen quantum cryptography.
But perhaps most important, researchers hope that the work will open up a new way to unify quantum theory with Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the structure of space-time. The world we experience in daily life, in which events occur in an order determined by their locations in space and time, is just a subset of the possibilities that quantum physics allows. "If you have space-time, you have a well-defined causal order," said Časlav Brukner, a physicist at the University of Vienna who studies quantum information. But "if you don't have a well-defined causal order," he said—as is the case in experiments he has proposed—then "you don't have space-time." Some physicists take this as evidence for a profoundly nonintuitive worldview, in which quantum correlations are more fundamental than space-time, and space-time itself is somehow built up from correlations among events, in what might be called quantum relationalism. The argument updates Gottfried Leibniz and Ernst Mach's idea that space-time might not be a God-given backdrop to the world, but instead might derive from the material contents of the universe.


text: Album Review: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mosquito by Jill Riley April 15, 2013 reviews Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Mosquito (Courtesy of Interscope) Contribute today and get Mosquito by Yeah Yeah Yeahs as a thank-you gift. I said this when I reviewed the last Yeah Yeah Yeahs record, It's Blitz: Karen O is one of the best frontwomen in today's music. She represents what a lot of bands of this generation are lacking—a strong lead figure and dynamic performer. Where are all the Mick Jaggers, Freddie Mercurys, Joan Jetts or Grace Slicks of today? They live on through Karen O. Karen O and her equally important bandmates Brian Chase and Nick Zinner are back with a new record, Mosquito. The band has again worked with producer/engineer Nick Launay (an awesome producer who's worked with Public Image Ltd, Nick Cave, Talking Heads, and Arcade Fire) and had other production help from Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio) and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem). To describe the new record Mosquito as eclectic seems like an understatement. "Sacrilege" has a gospel choir hook, "Mosquito" is a straight-ahead Yeah Yeah Yeahs rocker (though listen for the glass bottle percussion), "Under the Earth" incorporates some reggae sounds, and the James Murphy-produced track "Buried Alive" features rapper Dr. Octagon (also known as Kool Keith). The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are playing a sold-out show June 24th at First Avenue in Minneapolis. If you're going to the show, the band has some advice for you (according to a sign they've hung at recent gigs)... Put down the smartphone! Don't watch this show through the screen of your device! As a concertgoer, I must say I agree with this plea. No matter how new and improved your gadget is, the footage taped in a dark club never looks good and the audio never sounds great. I challenge you to watch the show with your own naked eyeballs and not through a screen. You won't want to miss a minute of Karen O's amazing costumes and mind-blowing vocal performance. I saw them at First Avenue in 2009 and it was my favorite show of the year. Hearing and seeing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs live is where it's at. Do I like the new record Mosquito? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Related Stories New music: Yeah Yeah Yeahs return with eclectic single "Sacrilege" The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Sacrilege," the first single from their forthcoming fourth album Mosquito, is a jagged, unpredictable tune that combines many of the strengths the band has demonstrated over their 13-year evolution Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been touring to support their new record, "Show Your Bones", a mellower but still hard-rocking sophomore effort that, Karen O explains, was not written about her cat.

What a week, huh? No, it really never crossed my mind that Southwest might throw it's hat in the ring for Frontier. It just seemed a little too far-fetched, but less so with each passing day as I think about it. Southwest has been growing in Denver, and from some indications, doing so successfully though profits apparently remain elusive. Frontier appears to be making some headway in getting itself out of Chapter 11. And Denver's number one airline, United, does anyone really think that they will still be in business as currently constituted one or two years from now? I don't. Does that mean the United brand goes the way of Eastern, NO! But the vultures are starting to circle, and I think they are fish food for either US Airways or Continental by this time next year, whether the United name lives on or not, though I expect it will. Frontier has a relatively decent reputation for service, and a young workforce that will have the opportunity to join a much more stable and secure employer with an almost legendary reputation for looking after its people.
The only wrinkle is the fleet of "Airbii" that Frontier brings to the table. Southwest plans to eventually dispose of those as they absorb Frontier. I'm not certain how labor will integrate either. As I understand it, when Southwest purchased Morris Air, the Morris folks basically re-interviewed for their jobs and started over at the bottom. I wonder if the plan is to do this again? That worked out OK for everyone when Southwest was growing by leaps and bounds. But opportunities to move up the ladder come slowly in the current environment. This could be an important watch item for the integration. However, I've never bet against Southwest successfully accomplishing anything its set out to do, and I surely will not start now.
Delta Medallion Changes
Earlier this week, Delta announced changes to the Medallion elite program for 2010. Judging by the number of searches that landed on the blog, there's a high degree of interest in what Delta is up to. You can check out my post from earlier this week here. The most beneficial changes include making Systemwide Upgrades usable on the day of departure and rollover Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs). In other words, Silver Medallion requires 25,000 MQMs. If you end the year at 40,000 MQMs, you have a 15,000 MQM headstart on Medallion status for the following year. However, in order to be fully competitive with American and United, Delta needs to make its Systemwide Upgrades usable on any fare, and not just YBM fares which can be higher than other airlines discounted Business Class fares. The changes are not awe-inspiring, but I think they represent a net positive for Delta Medallions. And in a side note, I'm on target for reattaining Medallion status with Delta this year, which makes me happy!
United Drops Close-in Award Fees
In a true positive for Mileage Plus members, United has dropped fees for booking award travel less than 21 days prior to departure. I've posted before that this particular fee is one that I have never cared for. It costs no more to issue a ticket on day 2 before departure than day 202, which makes these "late booking" fees nothing more than an egregious money grab. Kudos to United for doing this.
The Week Ahead
I'll be traveling to Philadelphia this week. No flying though. Amtrak's Acela will be my chariot of choice. I'll be sure to post a trip report on the Acela experience.

UN Security Council calls for immediate Gaza ceasefire
The UN Security Council on Monday appealed for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza at a late-night emergency meeting called as fighting between Israel and Hamas entered its third week.
(AFP) The UN Security Council on Monday appealed for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza at a late-night emergency meeting called as fighting between Israel and Hamas entered its third week.
The 15-member Council released a statement calling for the truce to allow aid deliveries during the Muslim Eid festival marking the end of Ramadan, and as the death toll rose to more than 1,030 Palestinians.
The Council expressed "strong support" for an "immediate and unconditional humanitarian ceasefire," allowing for urgent deliveries of aid, and urged all sides to "accept and fully implement" the truce.
The statement was put forward by Jordan with the backing of Arab countries.
Palestinian representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, voiced disappointment, saying the measure fell short of a formal resolution demanding that Israel withdraw its forces from the Gaza Strip.
"They should have adopted a resolution a long time ago to condemn this aggression and to call for this aggression to be stopped immediately," said Mansour following the meeting.
"We are disappointed in that sense," he said, adding that the Palestinians would continue pressing the Security Council to move toward a formal binding resolution.
Push for a resolution
Jordan's deputy envoy Mahmoud Daifallah Mahmoud Hmoud said he would continue to press for a stronger stance by the Council through a formal resolution.
"The killing has reached incomparable levels," he said following the meeting.
In its statement, the Council voiced "grave concern regarding the deterioration in the situation as a result of the crisis related to Gaza and the loss of civilian lives and casualties."
The Council said "civilian and humanitarian facilities, including those of the UN, must be respected and protected" following outrage over the Israeli attack on a UN-run school in Gaza this week that left 15 dead.
It called on Israel and the Palestinian Hamas to try to reach a ceasefire based on the Egyptian initiative, and applauded US Secretary John Kerry's efforts to broker a deal.
The emergency session came after Israel and Hamas ignored calls for a truce, with Israel pounding Gaza with artillery on Sunday after a night of rocket fire from Hamas.
The two sides observed a 12-hour pause on Saturday, allowing Gaza medics to pull bodies from rubble.
Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor suggested the stance taken by the Council was biased.
"Miraculously it doesn't mention Hamas. It doesn't mention the firing of rockets. Those things are lacking in this statement, he said.
"You don't have to have the IQ of a rocket scientist to understand that if rockets are falling on you, you are allowed to defend yourself."
It was the second time in as many weeks that the top world body has convened a late Sunday meeting to appeal for a ceasefire in Gaza, where fighting has killed more than 1,030 Palestinians as well as 43 Israeli soldiers.
US President Barack Obama spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday and "made clear" to him directly that there was a need for a humanitarian ceasefire, the White House said.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon returned over the weekend from a regional tour to push for a ceasefire and continued to press for a break in the fighting.
The violence, said Ban Sunday, has "killed too many, marred so many lives, and caused such destruction."

We received an email a few weeks back from the editor at City Style and Living Magazine asking us if they could feature one of our Bridal bouquet in their wedding spread for Summer 2010. We said YES, of course. Follow the link below to check out their gorgeous magazine. We are featured on page 28/29.
We were thrilled to be a part of a great cause this Mother's Day. We donated 15 floral arrangements for all the Mom's who are staying at the YWCA. The YWCA is dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence, homelessness and poverty. They believe that healthy women and healthy families lead to a thriving community – and so do we. We hope our flowers made them smile. The brief article that appeared in the YWCA newsletter follows.
YWCA clients receive Mother's Day flowers

Petal Pushers
Baby's breath and greenery filler be gone.
At the new floral boutique Modern Petals, the mandate is let the flowers shine. With an L.A.-boutique feel, the shop's large windows, stark white interior and contemporary artwork set the scene for the modern floral arrangements.
Inspired by popular cocktails, choose from bouquets (from $35) online, including the Tequila Sunrise, Cosmopolitan Twist or our pick, the Perfect Manhattan (pictured).

Hidden Litter Box Enclosures
Covers For Cat Litter Boxes Have Been Taken To The Subsequent Level Cats are the greatest, but living with a litter box is not exactly an aesthete's dream. Cat owners are faced with choices that vary from motorized trays total with motion detectors that purport to automate the method of separating the fecal clumps from the unused litter with no mangling the cat to sifting litter boxes that permit you to shake, rattle and roll the waste into a neat little package. The evaluations for this Cat Condo And Litter Box Cabinet are really great, with most clients being really pleased with it. Maintaining your cat's claws trimmed is crucial for their comfort and the safety of your furniture. The most useful sort of cat accessory is what is now referred to as 'cat box furniture' and simply because of its design and style is also getting known as 'cat towers and furniture', but whatever they are recognized or classified as, they absolutely go a extremely lengthy way in assisting the frustrated pet owner in maintaining a cat off the furniture. Soon after the cat has gone out of the litter box, of course, the paws would be covered by dirt and a number of pieces of tiny litter. I'm considering of an automatic litter box I've observed at a cat show earlier this spring, which was considerably a lot more like a mini flush rest area instead of an ordinary litter box. Many are constructed out of plastic and feature a plastic hood or dome that covers the litter pan and litter. The Alpine Scratcher characteristics a corrugated block your cats can scratch, and can be reversed when showing indicators of wear. Nonetheless, even the ideal box won't get the waste from the receptacle to the nearby landfill without having that human touch. Place the litter box in the area, along with meals, water and a toy but make certain that there is extremely small in the space, which includes furniture and clothes or towels on the floor. Sadly the cat is carrying out what comes naturally to it, and the litter that spills out of the tray becomes unavoidable, but can be contained with the use of cat litter box furniture. C. if you have stray cats in your neck of the woods, your cats could smell them, and spray on your doormats as a signal to the outside cats that your home is THEIR territory...this is a difficult difficulty to overcome!!! But thanks to clever inventions and litter box homes your cat litter woes can now be set aside with style and convenience. But he ate far more meals and lapped up lots of water and at last, went on his own to the litter box. A cat with an aversion to her litter box will generally eradicate on a selection of surfaces. I recognize why an individual may possibly think about this as a way to keep their cats from tearing up the furniture or to prevent scratches on you or your family members but there are much better alternatives out there! I was determined to raise indoors the two gorgeous kittens we chose from the litter we'd arranged with their parents, who have been outside, practically alley-cat-siamese. When you are utilizing the litter box initially, make sure that kitty always makes use of it. Consistency is the important to train your cat, and toilet coaching good results. Factors to appear for all through your household are an empty food or water dish, an overflowing or amonia-rich litter box, a physically abusive child, pet, or other adult, and something else that may possibly be stressing your cat out in a large way. Even the youngest, motherless kitten will rapidly grasp the use of a litter box when placed in a single. Even cover-shy cats will not feel trapped with all the escape routes in plain view. This was the very first huge-scale use of clay (in the type of Fuller's earth) in litter boxes previously sand was utilized. These beautiful bosses that we get in touch with cats are just like the rest of us - when they require to go, they need to have a place to go. If you're a cat owner, you may possibly believe litter boxes are just an unfortunate part of life. No matter which cat litter box furnishings alternative you decide on, you'll find that these pieces are an instant upgrade. A new approach involves incorporating sifting functionality within a sifting litter liner. If you switch out the litter box on an older cat just be sure to make the transition a slow 1. You may have set up a litter box that is really private but in the cat's thoughts the privacy limits her capacity to feel safe Yet another instance may be that the box is situated in an unappealing place. That is our greatest concern - we have a German Shepherd who is pretty fascinated with kitty developed snacks, and when she gets to the litter box, nobody wins. If you let your cats sleep with you, hide your fingers beneath the blanket and wiggle it. It would certainly be amusing to watch your furry pet attempt to pounce on what is below the blanket. I had a cat with kidney problems as soon as that dealt with it by going beside the box.

Going Loop-y
I've just spent the last couple of weeks trying to establish my new routine as a person living alone, and basically starting to enjoy having my own space.
I've baked (cupcakes) and spent a bit of time poring over recipe books in bookshops - no purchases yet, but I've been working out what I want to buy.
I've started a couple of new knitting projects (I just couldn't help myself) including this one, which is a moss stitch scarf. I question the wisdom of my yarn choice for this, but something compelled me to it. It's fingering weight yarn - Madeleine Tosh to be exact in shade Briar. I had two skeins in my stash that were crying out to be used, and somehow I felt it had to be a moss stitch scarf. Knitting this on 2.75 mm needles is going to take me forever, but I think I might manage it. Everytime I think of all the thousands of stitches I still have to work, I look down at the fabric I'm creating and know it will be worth it, no matter how long it takes! What can I say, it's a purple-moss stitch-4 ply love affair!
I've also been poring over my stash and day dreaming of possibilities. Below is the moss stitch scarf I'm already working on with several skeins of Blue Sky Alpacas Silk. Do you know the joy-mingled-with-frustration of having such a gorgeous yarn that you are at once desperate to make something with it, but also feel that no possible project will ever do it justice?! There should be a term for this!
More yarn - sigh!
Last time I asked you for suggestions for shawl patterns. Thanks to those of you who made comments and suggestions. Several people suggested Ravelry, and I now have a few patterns lined up. The first project I have, which I've already started, is not a shawl but the Song of the Sea cowl. I just couldn't resist the art-deco waves! More on that next time though.
With all the excitement over the patterns I found on Ravely, I felt I have to buy some new yarn (yes I know, as you can see from the shots above, there is plenty of yarn already in my stash!).
So, on Saturday I made a visit to London's Loop, one of my all time fave independent yarn shops. If you ever get the chance, go! It is utter heaven! I spent a bliss-full 30 minutes caressing various skeins (S and I were heading to the cinema, so I was on a short time frame - probably just as well, or who knows how much yarn I would have ended up buying!). The long suffering S was forced to lurk outside (along side other slightly bored looking males, presumably associated with the other ladies that were also floating around the shop on clouds of yarn induced happiness!) while I indulged my yarn habit, but he's always very patient about these things!
Eventually I choose some skeins of pure superwash wool, Eden Cottage dk, in shades of green and silver-grey. I've already started on my cowl, photos next time!
That's all for now!

I'd have a love affaire with that wool too!ReplyDelete
Great colour choices on that beautiful yarn - I love buying from independant shops rather than the high street chains. Feels more personal somehow. Can't wait to see what you make.ReplyDelete
Love your new scarf! It's coming along nicely. I do hope you keep at it so we can see if all finished.ReplyDelete
I too have a love affair with yarn. Matter of fact, I am waiting on a large package to arrive from Knit Pick....I can not wait!!
I am also sure you will find time to make something with "your" new yarn...it looks so dreamy and soft to just sit in your stash!
Beautiful yarns and knitting - go Jen - and what a nice man to be so patient at waiting! Look at that sky, those colours are absolutely astounding! I'll be looking forward to seeing these projects come along - such a talented knitter you are Jen! Joy xReplyDelete
I love to read all your comments, so if you have a question to ask or just something to say, please leave me a message and I'll reply!

Today, students at Phillip Murray Elementary Language Academy were treated to a special assembly by hosts of Discovery Channel's Mythbusters, Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman. The Museum of Science and Industry and Discovery Education presented the event to an all-school assembly of Murray students in the auditorium. The event also was broadcast live to students across the country as part of Discovery Education LIVE! a webinar series which brings current issues to classrooms in real-time through innovative learning experiences.
"Mythbusters has proven to be an exciting vehicle for expanding the classroom and helping students develop a love of learning," said CPS CEO Jean-Claude Brizard. "Having begun my education career as a science teacher, I appreciate that Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman are sharing their enthusiastic passion for science with our students. We extend our thanks to the Museum of Science and Industry for providing this opportunity to Chicago Public Schools and to classrooms across the nation."
The event expanded the classroom with an assembly that sparked students' natural curiosity by showing them just how fun science could be. Additionally, students received an exclusive look at the new interactive experience Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition, which is opening today March 15 at the Museum of Science and Industry and runs through September 3, 2012.
Chicago Public Schools Chief Instructional Officer, Dr. Jennifer Cheatham, and Chancellor Cheryl Hyman of the City Colleges of Chicago addressed the assembly on the importance of STEM education and how it prepares students to be college and career ready.
Last month, CPS, City Colleges of Chicago, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a new partnership with five industry leaders, which will give CPS students the opportunity to attend Early College STEM Schools that focus on technology skills and career readiness, as well as earn college credits. The five companies, IBM, Cisco, Microsoft Corporation, Motorola Solutions and Verizon Wireless, will help develop a unique curriculum at each new school to teach students the skills required in that marketplace, as well as provide mentors and internships. Upon graduating from these tailored programs, the students will be prepared for careers in science and technology. In order to learn more about these schools, please visit the ECSS website.

PRT podcar is the pod that will re-invent transportation? Prepare to get those opinions railed, as the RailPod is on its way to get you where you're going -- and to put all those striking cabbies out of work. The idea is that unused (or underused) railway lines can be turned into bi-directional traffic routes, with the RailPod using gyros to balance precariously on a single strip of iron, taking up only half the width of the line. Two passengers can ride facing away from each other on this car of the future (presumably to discourage any hanky-panky of the future), whisked away after swiping a credit card and punching in a destination. The Boston-based startup is still in the "please oh please give us money" phase, but hope to have a working prototype ready by the end of the year. Until then you'll have to simply enjoy the video after the break, which you might be surprised to learn was created entirely using computer graphics.

Bobby Hull Interview 201020 questions with the Golden Jet, Bobby Hull
Now 71 years old, Bobby Hull is regarded as one of the greatest ice hockey players of all time and perhaps the greatest left winger to ever play the game. Hull was famous for his blonde hair, blinding skating speed, and having the fastest shot, earning him the nickname "the Golden Jet". He possessed the most feared slapshot of his day. In his 23 years in the National Hockey League and World Hockey Association, he played for the Chicago Black Hawks, Winnipeg Jets and Hartford Whalers.
By the time he retired, Hull had led the Chicago Black Hawks to a Stanley Cup title (1961), while assuring himself a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame with 610 career goals and 1,170 points. His son Brett followed his path and plowed even further, finishing his career with 1,391 points.
Here are some quotes from his 2010 Interview:
How did you curve your first blade?
I Poured hot water on it, from a tap, until it got soft and lithe. And then I'd shove it under a door at the Chicago Stadium and put a chair up, underneath the handle, and left it there all night. When I came back in the morning, it was just like this-- [cups hand, like the letter 'C'] -- and then it was "top corner," or "second balcony." [chuckles]
What is the secret to getting a puck onto the street from inside Chicago Stadium?
[laughs] That was in the old Stadium. If you stood at right about the red line, against the boards in between the two benches, there was an exit diagonally across the rink. There was an exit that went out into the main corridor, on Madison Avenue, and there were glass doors on the other side of the corridor. Just a few of us could get that puck over the glass in the corner, and then out through that exit, where it would bounce and hit those glass doors -- and break the goddamn glass in the doors. [laughs]
The Winnipeg Jets gave you a $1-million signing bonus...
BH [interrupts] It wasn't the Winnipeg Jets. It was the World Hockey Association. There were nine teams in the league at that time, when we first began, and they all divvied up $110,000 or whatever it was. And the million came from all nine teams.
Who is more like the old Bobby Hull: Patrick Kane or Jonathan Toews?
[chuckles] No one has faster feet than Patrick Kane, or faster hands. But I think Johnny is, if you're going to compare, more like me. He's a 22-year-old in a 50-year-old man's head. He never does anything wrong, never says anything wrong. And what a leader he is. I would love to have him on my team, and he'd be the captain of my team, as well.
Write the first sentence of a story you would write about Robert Marvin Hull.
They were the best of times, they were the worst of times. Doing a little plagiarism from A Tale of Two Cities. And they were. It was the greatest time of my life. I've really never, ever had a job. I played hockey. And if you like what you're doing, it's not a job. And there were times in there when everything didn't go my way, but no one ever said that life was all a bowl of cherries.

Louis-Ferdinand Céline
Last updated, 18 Apr 2012
Note on Louis-Ferdinand Céline
by Alexander Styhre
The French author Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894-1961) was born as Louis-Fernand Destouches but used his grandmother's name as his penname. Céline is a disturbing figure in the world literature as he both renewed the literature at the same time as he expressed xenophobic and anti-Semitic beliefs both publically and in private. Céline worked as a physician, caring for the poor and penniless in the Paris suburbs and for him writing was an amateur activity. Despite his extensive clinical practice, his début Voyage au bout de la nuit (1932) (Journey to the end of the night, 1934) was an instant succès de scandale. A few years later, Mort à credit (1936) (Death on installment plan, 1938) followed, further reinforcing his status as one of the most important French-speaking authors of the twentieth century. A number of novels were eventually published but Céline's status as a major author rests primarily on his two first works. His later works are very much tarnished by his anti-Semitic stance and after the World War Céline was imprisoned in Denmark to which he fled during the end of the war.
It is not a trivial matter to locate Céline on the political scale: on the one hand he expressed right-wing beliefs and being a decorated World War I hero, while on the other he criticized militarism and mindlessness and lack of meaning in modern life. Céline was renowned for his ability to care for his patients, particularly the elderly and children and not being overtly concerned about getting paid for his medical services. By and large, Céline, similar to some other French writers of his generation such as Georges Bataille, escapes the conventional left-right scale altogether.
Speaking of Céline as a critical writer or even as a critical theorists, there are a least two major contributions from his work. First, Céline expressed the ennui and anxiety of the modern condition, theorized by philosophers such as Walter Benjamin, Theodore Adorno, and Hanna Arendt. In Céline's account of e.g., the first world war and the life in America including his visits to Henry Ford's Highland Park plant, there is no relief from the brutality of modern life; to some extent, both Voyage au bout de la nuit and Mort à credit could be treated as a literary account of the critical theory view of the world, albeit with a wry sense of humour and conspicuous of cynicism. Secondly, Céline renewed the literary language by emphasizing the force and immediacy of everyday language as a literary device. The opening lines of Voyage are telling for how Céline did not care to conform to the conventions of die Schöne Literatur. Céline's perhaps most single most important literary device is the use of his "three points of suspension" wherein sentences are never really finished but actually spills over into the next sentence, making the text unfold as a rail track craving the attention of the reader. Céline's work is both what may be called radically cynic inasmuch as there is really no hope for mankind to wake up from the nightmare of modernity, and humanist in expressing some quirky sense of humor.
Critical management theorists can learn from Céline that regardless of the hopelessness of everyday existence, there are always possibilities for small spaces of resistance, for the ability to say no, to refuse, or at least to express the contempt over the social order. While Céline may be read as a modernist writer he is perhaps better understood in the tradition of what Mikhail Bakhtin speaks of the ancient genre of Menippean satire and the medieval genre of romantic grotesque, the folk literary genres that poke fun at royalties, political authorities, and the clergy and its ceremonies and liturgy. Perhaps, if being able to overlook his complicated political position (Martin Heidegger being another case), Céline is best characterized a follower of François Rabelais of the twentieth century.
It is indicative of the status of Céline, at least in the French-speaking world, that even his beloved cat Bébert, "the most famous cat in twentieth-century letters," was covered in a book (Vitoux, 2008). In addition, in October 2011, the Danish state announced that it will auction a roll of toilet paper onto which Céline penned part of a novel when being imprisoned in Denmark. One may think that Céline would have appreciated such a collapse of the sacred and the profane into one another if being informed about this cultural event.

Newly Launched VGRHQ Gives Game Critics Their Day in the Sun
Having been a video game critic for about 15 years now, I know it's a thankless job.
I also know it's one of the most misunderstood jobs out there, and it really drives me nuts when people just scoff and say, "You get to play games for a living, so stop complaining." Yeah, well, "living" is a very subjective term, first of all. Secondly, the process usually degrades into pure drudgery, which everyone seems to forget.
And yet, video game reviews are critical. They're so often the reason a game sinks or swims in this industry, and it's long past time to acknowledge the role of the critic. That's why I think it's cool to see a site like Video Game Review HQ, which is way overdue, in my opinion.
Here's my favorite part of the site's introduction:
"Video Game Review HQ acknowledges the video game critic because apparently, nobody else will. Where are our accolades and awards for a job well done? Why does virtually every other entertainment medium on earth have critics who enjoy far more exposure and recognition than even the most visible game critic? We at VGRHQ can't accept this lack of recognition."
They've already featured sites like Polygon, Den of Geek, gamrReview, DarkZero and GamingBolt, and they make a point of singling out the Honored Sources, too.
Man, I hope this works. Too many people have no idea what is required to be a game critic, and far too many think it's a hundred times easier and more glamorous than it really is.

Victory! HB 501 failed to pass. Congratulations to members of Helena Service for Peace and Justice, the Montana Coalition for Palestine, and others for organizing to defeat this bill.
HB 501 proposed creating a state blacklist of for-profit entities that boycott Israel, and requiring the state to divest from blacklisted entities. It also proposed prohibiting public entities from contracting with for-profit entities unless those entities certify that they do not boycott Israel.

During the October "From Shore to Sea" lectures, Ian Taniguchi, a senior biologist with California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), will speak about abalone recovery following an over 10-year closure of this fishery in southern California. He will describe the State plans for abalone recovery including consideration of a possible limited fishery for red abalone at San Miguel Island.
Taniguchi will describe the decline and current state of five species of abalone and the current state of Abalone Recovery and Management Plan (ARMP) that was adopted by the California Fish and Game Commission in 2005 as a framework for abalone recovery and management. Recently, the commission directed the CDFG to explore the possibility of a limited fishery for red abalone at San Miguel Island, which is within an abalone fishing moratorium area established in 1997 to protect the severely depleted populations.
Taniguchi will describe how the once lucrative red abalone fishery at the Channel Islands collapsed in the early 1990s, explain the reasons behind the current moratorium, and options being considered for a fishery at San Miguel Island.
In his over sixteen-year career with CDFG Taniguchi has studied and managed marine invertebrate fisheries, including sea urchin and abalone. He currently serves as the statewide coordinator for implementation of abalone recovery and management efforts. He is a certified SCUBA diver and has broad experience diving throughout the Channel Islands and California.
The "From Shore to Sea" lecture series is jointly sponsored by Channel Islands National Park and Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary with generous support from Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. The purpose of the series is to further the understanding of research on the Channel Islands and surrounding waters. The lectures will occur at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2008, at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum, 113 Harbor Way in the Santa Barbara Harbor and Wednesday, October 15, 2008, at the Channel Islands National Park Robert J. Lagomarsino Visitor Center, 1901 Spinnaker Drive in the Ventura Harbor. The programs are free and open to the public.

IT'S ALWAYS FUN when it's time to do a lamppost page in Forgotten NY, because these vaguely anthropomorphic untility poles are what got me started with this Forgotten NY stuff decades ago. My parents used to take me for bus rides all over Brooklyn, and I could never be seen without a pencil, a spoon, and one of those little bulbs you find in flashlights. Yes, I used to create my own lampposts, or recreate the ones I saw out the bus window. When I got home, I would fill tablets with pictures of lampposts, and still do, occasionally, to the present day…
A 1960s octa-pole with cobra neck and fire alarm light…
An M-2 guy-wired stoplight with cobra attachment…
…and a double Desky!
I've been doodling like this as far back as I remember. I think it captures the look and feel of NYC lampposts don't you? Look out Ben Katchor!
Anyhow, on this page we're going to feature several lampposts found on NYC streets that don't fit the usual canon: the silver octa-poles with their panoply of masts and luminaires, or the legions of retro-poles, the longarmed Corvingtons and curved bishop crooks that have taken over several neighborhoods. In some areas, specialty poles have been installed to fill certain niches that the general-issue poles can't address. In other areas, there are lamps that have been privately installed by property owners and have been co-opted by the city. Other lamps are just plain wacky.
Left: 11th Avenue and West 34th Street, Javits Center
Center: Fulton Mall and Jay Street, Brooklyn
Right: 12th Avenue, Tribeca
Sometimes, you want an especially intense light mounted on a pole that towers over all opposition, like the Shaq or Yao Ming of lampposts. You can find them at the Jav and the Fulton Mall. NYC's tallest lampposts of all used to be found on West Street and 12th Avenue, on the surface highway that replaced the elevated West Side Highway and was supposed to be replaced by Westway. The current specimen shown at right is one of only two that remain from the 1980s, when they were installed.
Today, the rechristened Joe DiMaggio Highway (really West Street and 12th Avenue now that all hope for an underground highway topped by parkland has been suppressed by NIMBYs) is lined by retro-Corvingtons, those long-armed poles first produced in the 1910s to light wider boulevards and parkways, and classified as Type 24M by the System Electric Companies: Photographs of Street Lighting Equipment, a pamphlet produced by NYC's Bureau of Gas and Electricity in 1934.
When the classic poles were relaunched by NYC's Department of Transportation beginning in the 1980s, many of the old classics didn't fit modern modes of traffic, so they got tinkered with. The classic Corv, Type 24M, didn't have a twinlamp form: there was already a model that fit that bill: the Type 24 Twin. Those twins, though, don't have the reach to illuminate the DiMag, and so these special new twin Corvs were created. All the new poles are modular in form, and the Type M2 stoplight, developed in the 1950s, can have a retro-Corv extension slapped onto its apex, as we see here. The classic feel, though, is somewhat compromised by the two cameras, looking for red-light runners, affixed to the masts!
CENTER: The DiMaggio Corvingtons have mini-masts lighting the bike paths and sidewalks supporting what appear to be newer versions of the 1930s-1940s gumballs.
RIGHT: the oddest new twinlamp I've seen, though, is on Irving Place and East 18th Street, across the way from the legendary Pete's Tavern: a double bishop crook! Is this a terrific innovation…or is it blasphemy? To me it looks like one of those two-headed turtles or snakes that hatch once in a while.
Lampposts illuminating step streets, found mostly in Manhattan and the Bronx, seem to be in a classification all their own. Sometimes, regulation Henry Bacon-type park posts are used, but then you find a genus that has no relation to any other NYC post, like the 2 posts at left, on Godwin Terrace near Broadway in Kingsbridge, or the one at right, on the Summit Place steps in Kingsbridge Heights.
The public works of the late 1930s and early 1940s brought the first ripplings of streamlined lamppost design. The Moderne pole at left was placed in the parking lot adjacent to the IND World's Fair shuttle station, which was dismantled soon after the Fair was closed in 1940, and apparently no trace exists today. The design at right, at the Bronx' Orchard Beach, can also be found on the boardwalk at Jacob Riis Park. See also: East Side tunnel approach lamps.
LEFT: image from New York, Empire City 1920-1945, by David Stravitz, Harry N. Abrams 2004
The Triboro Bridge, the two-span connector between Manhattan and Bronx and Bronx and Queens, was completed in 1936. Its spired towers on the Queens-Bronx span are echoed in the bridge's unique lampposts, most of which have now been removed: they can only be found now on the approach roads. Bruckner Blvd. in the Bronx, which connected to the Triboro in Port Morris, got them for most of its length, until they too succumbed when the Bruckner Expressway was completed in 1961. Photo left: nycroads.com; photos right: New York, Empire City 1920-1945
The new park lamps along the DiMaggio Highway from Christopher Street north to West 23rd are close approximations of the old Tribe lamps, albeit shorter. They have stepped bases and apices, like their predecessors: compare the Bruckner pole, above.
Banks sometimes place their own decorative poles on sidewalks facing them. Some, like this one on Hillside Avenue and Homelawn Street, are quite superannuated. Note how the DOT has coopted it to hang a no-parking sign on it. I haven't been by here at night, does it still work?
The twinlamp apex of the "king" of the poles surrounding the original Greenpoint Bank in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, is interesting enough–it's almost a duplicate of the Hillside pole — but its single-light "minister" poles are quite intriguing, since they all have different style bases!
Way out east in Glen Oaks, Queens, the block of 65th Avenue immediately east of Douglaston Parkway is lined with short davit poles with concrete bases and variants on the old ca. 1960 Westinghouse Silverliner series of luminaires.
The bridge that takes Cropsey Avenue over Coney Island Creek in Brooklyn dates back to the same era as the Triboro, opening in 1931. Its poles originally supported globe-shaped lamps, then were fitted for cobra necks; today, they're barren.
The posts on both sides of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel are originals, from when the tunnel opened in 1951, and are another early example of the new streamlined style.
Grand Central Terminal, East 42nd-46th Streets between Vanderbilt and Lexington Avenues, was designed and built in 1913 by the Chicago architectural firm Reed and Stem. Among the earliest elements of the design was a viaduct taking Park Avenue around he terminal and through what is now the Helmsley Tower. This ramp and bridge has always boasted a unique lamppost design, and after some years of neglect–even now some of these p[oles are missing–the remaining ones have been given new sodium bulbs and can be expected to light the viaduct for more decades.
Modern glass box towers provide counterpoint to the 1913 poles, designed to match styles of the previous century.
Lyre-shaped masts date back to 1908 and has always been used for decorative or ornamental purposes, since they can't light a wide area of road. Pagoda-shaped diffusers were used at the dawn of the Deskey era on those posts in Chinatown in the 1960s, but they disappeared after awhile. Both have recently been resurrected. Photos: Diane Goldie.
In very rare cases, the octa-pole double-mast configuration can be oddly used; in midtown, it supports a traffic camera, and in the Brooklyn Terminal Market in Canarsie, it's divorced from its pole altogether. This mast is never used this way on public streets.
The Alliance for Downtown New York has inflicted a really ugly new lamppost design on Broadway between Bowling Green and Park Place. The question is why? RIGHT: In front of the 1980s building built where Herman Melville was born in the 1800s, and the current home of New York Unearthed, at South and Pearl Streets, you will find these alien-esque posts. Sadly, or perhaps not, they were removed during a renovation in 2010.
LEFT: This was supposed to be the future of lampposts in the 1980s, when business improvement districts erected poles along designated stretches of road. Glad it wasn't. Above: Jamaica Avenue in Queens; similar poles can be found on Avenue D in Flatbush and elsewhere.
CENTER: Unusual guy-wire traffic stanchions, not the usual M2 types, on Church Street and Park Place downtown. (Also replaced in the mid-2000s)
RIGHT: The Hooper Fountain at West 155th Street and Edgecombe Avenue, bequeathed by adman John Hooper upon his death in 1889, is both a horse trough and an unusual, one-of-a-kind lamppost. It was destroyed by vandals in 1981, but restored faithfully to its original design.

Pharmacology and Toxicology: Treatment of Poisons - Isopropanol Intoxication
- Does this patient have isopropanol intoxication?
- What tests to perform?
- How should patients with isopropanol intoxication be managed?
- What happens to patients with isopropanol intoxication?
What is the evidence?
Does this patient have isopropanol intoxication?
Description of problem
There were 18,051 exposures to isopropanol and 1 death reported to the National Poison Data System (NPDS) in 2009. This represents 1.4% of all exposures reported (
Figure 1.
Exposures and fatalities from toxins that are substantially removed by extracorporealtechniques.
Isopropanol reaches a peak serum level 15 to 30 minutes after ingestion. It is water-soluble and has a volume of distribution that is equal to total body water (0.6 L/kg). It has a molecular weight of 60 g/mole (
Figure 2.
Characteristics of drugs and toxins that are amenable to removal with extracorporeal therapy.
What tests to perform?
Laboratory abnormalities
Anion gap
A high anion gap acidosis is rare following isopropanol ingestion since neither the parent compound nor its metabolites are organic acids. Therefore, a finding of a high serum or urine acetone level with an osmolar gap but without acidosis is suggestive of a recent isopropanol ingestion.
Osmolar gap
A serum level of isopropanol equal to 60 mg/dL will increase the serum osmolarity by 10 mOsm/kg (
Figure 3.
Osmolar contribution of various toxins and drugs.
Other lab abnormalities
Renal failure can occur in the setting of significant hypotension. However, acetone can also interfere with the creatinine assay. Hypoglycemia can result from the interference of gluconeogenesis by isopropanol.
How should patients with isopropanol intoxication be managed?
Estimating serum levels in isopropanol
The alcohols will produce an osmolar gap when they are present in the serum in significant amounts. Although there are some cautions to be noted with its use, the osmolar gap can be used to estimate the serum concentration of the alcohols. If one keeps in mind that the osmolar gap may have fairly low specificity and sensitivity for the detection of alcohol intoxication due to variations in the normal gap in the general population, it can be helpful as a rapid way to estimate serum levels of the intoxicant. It should not be used as the sole criterion for deciding a treatment strategy in the case of a possible intoxication with one of the alcohols but it can be useful when other clinical data support the diagnosis.
It is important to remember that a low gap does not always imply a low risk of intoxication. First, the gap will underestimate serum levels in some people who start out with a low serum osmolarity. Secondly, the gap will fall as the alcohol is metabolized and in the case of ethylene glycol and methanol, the metabolites are toxic and therefore a patient with a low gap may still have an indication for aggressive therapy including dialysis.
Emergency management
Supportive treatment
Supportive treatment includes airway protection and circulatory support. Metabolic abnormalities are less common than with either methanol or ethylene glycol intoxication. Circulatory support with fluids or vasoconstrictors is indicated in patients with hypotension. Inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase is not indicated since acetone is less toxic than isopropanol.
Isopropanol, like the rest of the alcohols, (e.g, ethanol, ethylene glycol, and methanol) has drug characteristics that allow for rapid removal with hemodialysis. They all have low molecular weights, are hydrophilic, have small Vd and rapidly equilibrate with the intravascular space. The drug characteristics of these compounds are listed in
Hemodialysis is very effective at clearing isopropanol. The clearance rate of isopropanol ranges between 200 – 250 ml/min depending on the filter and blood flow.
Hemodialysis for isopropanol - estimating dialysis time
Like all of the alcohols, isopropanol has a small Vd and rapid equilibration with the vascular space, its elimination therefore closely follows first order kinetics during dialysis.
The elimination of all the alcohols will follow the formula for first order kinetics:
C1/C0 = e-kt/V
If we determine a final concentration C1 that we want to achieve, we can solve for the time required for dialysis to achieve this final concentration:
t (min) = - ln (C1 /C0) x Vd(L) / k (L/min)
As an example, if a 100 Kg man has an isopropanol ingestion with a level of 1600 mg/dL and we want to perform dialysis with a membrane that can deliver a k = 0.3 L/min until his level is less than 400 mg/dL then
t = - ln ( 400/1600) 60 L / 0.3 L/min = 277 min = 4 hrs 37 min
It is important to note that this estimation does not take into account endogenous clearance of the alcohol and therefore will overestimate the time needed if the patient has significant renal clearance.
The indications for hemodialysis include those patients who have or are likely to develop the major sequelae of isopropanol ingestion. Hemodialysis is indicated for patients with an isopropanol level > 400 mg/dL who also have significant CNS depression, renal failure or hypotension. Hemodialysis will remove both isopropanol and acetone effectively.
What happens to patients with isopropanol intoxication?
Clinical and laboratory findings in isopropanol intoxication
Unlike ethylene glycol and methanol, most of the clinical effects in isopropanol intoxication are due to the parent compound. Acetone causes only mild central nervous system depression. The clinical signs of isopropanol intoxication will occur within an hour of ingestion and include effects on the central nervous system (CNS), gastrointestinal (GI) and cardiovascular systems (

Although long walks are one of my favorite parts of life, they haven't been among its features this year, and most especially not this past week. With temperatures hovering around zero every day, I haven't even been to church or to the university for two days. So, as part of my Lenten plan to revitalize my prayer life, I have begin to take imaginary walks, looking for God in the places and among the people I have spent time with. A few days ago, I prayed through a list of many of the institutions of my life ~ churches and schools, for starters ~ and now I am "walking" though their neighborhoods.
This morning's "walk" through the area surrounding my home church included the neighborhood, around which a friend and I frequently walked while our children were in their Montessori preschool there, and a trip across the street to the huge park. That park has been home to our children's play when they were in preschool, to later soccer and softball practices and games, and to long walks with a good friend. I recalled one walk across the park to the Great Meadow and beyond a couple of summers ago, with a woman whose father and extended family I had accompanied through his death when no one from my home church was available.
I found myself praying for many people I hadn't thought of in years; and for my home church pastor, whom I know often goes running there; and even in gratitude for the Rockefeller family, whose vision and money established an unusual neighborhood and its expansive park!
I am finding that I walk so much that I know several places in intimate detail, and they are associated with people from all times of my life. It's an excellent way to pray when the ice and cold have forced me to hibernate.

Another bad dream.
I dreamt I was underground. There was no light source, but I could still see. At the edges of my vision, I caught glimpses of people. I'd spin one way, and find only darkness, but as I turned, I'd see a dirty limb with an open sore, or a foot with exposed bone. I felt myself float along through the cave, knowing I was surrounded by broken people. A gigantic voice sounded. I couldn't understand the words, but the sheer volume vibrated my insides and nauseated me.
I woke up before light and couldn't get back to sleep. I managed to drive my Jeep without crashing into anything, and none of the tents I put up fell down, so I'm counting today as a success.
I need to sleep.
