I'm a newbie on Pixi.js, recently met a problem, I want to show the outline of a sprite by using OutlineFilter, but a part of the outline was cropped by bound. The pixi example page looks same: https://pixijs.io/examples/#/plugin-filters/outline.js But pixi filter demo is good: http://pixijs.io/pixi-filters/tools/demo/ Source Code: https://github.com/pixijs/pixi-filters I wonder what magic is used, Thanks.
How to make my sprite collide with tiles using MatterJS?
roberto257 posted a topic in Phaser 3I am creating a platformer with Phaser3 and I am using Matter for my physics engine. I have loaded my tilemap/set into the world, however, I don't know if the collisions are working because since I have added in this code, my sprite has disappeared. Why is this? How do I get my sprite to appear again so that I can make sure he collides with the tiles? //Create tilemap const map = this.make.tilemap({key: 'map'}); //Create tileset const tileset = map.addTilesetImage('tiles'); const platforms = map.createDynamicLayer(0, tileset, 0, 0); map.setCollisionByExclusion([-1, 0]); this.matter.world.convertTilemapLayer(platforms); //Update the game at 30Hz this.matter.world.update30Hz(); //Get hitboxes this.shapes = this.cache.json.get('shapes'); //Set boundaries for physics this.matter.world.setBounds(0, 0, game.config.width, 750); //Player this.hero = this.matter.add.sprite(0, 0, 'sheet', 'run_right/0013', {shape: this.shapes.s0013}); //Don't want him rotating in the air this.hero.setFixedRotation(); //Set our variable to do calculations heroSize = this.hero.width;
Hi I am new to game development. I have an issue.. here is the screenshot of my game which I am developing. My screen is scrollable with phaser_kinetic scroller. When I scroll the sheets with numbers it should be masked from the white line and and disappear the part of group sprite which is crossing the line. How can I achieve that. I used graphics to mask. But the graphics also hides the background. I dont want background to be hidden.
Sprite with masks optimizationhttps://gyazo.com/4a44909a40952ac6f5182d328f55d754 I've spent more time than I care to admit figuring it all out. I'm calculating a convex hull around a sprite and then slicing it up into matterjs driven little orc pieces. I'm not very happy with one thing yet. Each of these pieces is a separate Sprite and it has it's own Graphics object as a mask. I feel that if I were to have a couple of these going at the same time rendering could get expensive. Teach me to do better I should be learning react or something to get a dev job, but here I am cutting up orcs.
Phaser sprite sheets unpacker
Marcelo Lv Cabral posted a topic in Phaser 2I'm porting a game developed using Phaser to Roku (streaming box) and I needed to change some of the sprite sheets, so I got TexturePacker but was surprised that it does not have an option to read the json file and split back the sheet into all the separate frames. Then I decided to create a quick app to do that, get the json and the png and unpack the frames png files into a folder. It was very useful to me so I decided to open it to the community: https://github.com/lvcabral/PhaserSpriteSheetUnpacker/releases
createjs Recommendations on how to set this Sprite up? | CreateJSSo today I come asking for help. I'm converting from a Flash Developer over to JavaScript and I'm using CreateJS, I wanted to know if anyone had recommendations on how I could export my sprite sheets so that it's a little easier to assemble in CreateJS. How I make my characters in Flash is I have the main character MovieClip and I have a nested MovieClip for mouths. The main character MovieClip may have animations so on every frame where the character talks I have a nested mouth clip container(I have provided a video clip on how the animations plays without mouth interaction by code: https://youtu.be/TJOAME7MvgI - and how it acts with interaction: https://youtu.be/XCODle6ocvs). Does anyone know the easiest way to export the animation from Flash and the mouths? I was gonna do the animation on a separate SWF and export it to a separate sprite sheet then for each frame do each set of mouths as a sprite sheet and just show them when it gets to that frame in CreateJS. But how I've been making these so far is the mouths are done by frame on the timeline. In flash I did it like this too but also did them on layers, so if the mouths were on layers it be character.mouths.A_mc.visible = true; and set the last one's visibility to false...if I did it by frame I'd just do character.mouths.gotoAndStop("A"); and this is currently the only way I'm doing in in CreateJS. If anyone has been following along so far lol some suggestions would be great on how you would tackle this!
I am trying to constantly update the source of my PIXI.Sprite(resources.image.texture) to match the source of the image that has entered the viewport, while keeping the same displacement map running constantly. Please tell me if this is not possible, or if there is a better solution. If you need more information please ask and I will happily provide it to my best ability. I am new to Pixi.js too so some code examples would be great. Thank you! I will post the relevant html and javascript below to my most recent (failed) attempt. Here is the link to said project. Here is the link to a semi-working version where the background is not changing as an example of what the displacement map should look like. HTML:

 JS: const sectionTag = document.querySelector('section') const articleTags = document.querySelectorAll('article') const bodyTag = document.querySelector('body') const pixels = window.pageYOffset const pageHeight = bodyTag.getBoundingClientRect().height let originalImage = null let originalImageSource = null sectionTag.innerHTML = '' // Set up a pixi application const app = new PIXI.Application({ width: 2000, height: 2000, transparent: true }) // Add the pixi application to the section tags sectionTag.appendChild(app.view) // Make image equall nothing let image = null let displacementImage = null let displacementImage2 = null // Make a new loader const loader = new PIXI.loaders.Loader() // Load in our image loader.add('image', originalImageSource) loader.add('displacement', 'displacement3.jpg') loader.add('displacement2', 'displacement1.jpg') loader.load((loader, resources) => { // Once the image has loaded, now do this image = new PIXI.Sprite(resources.image.texture) displacementImage = new PIXI.Sprite(resources.displacement.texture) displacementImage2 = new PIXI.Sprite(resources.displacement2.texture) image.width = 2000 image.height = 2000 image.interactive = true image.anchor.y = -0.1 displacementImage.width = 1000 displacementImage.height = 1000 displacementImage2.width = 1000 displacementImage2.height = 1000 displacementImage.texture.baseTexture.wrapMode = PIXI.WRAP_MODES.MIRRORED_REPEAT displacementImage2.texture.baseTexture.wrapMode = PIXI.WRAP_MODES.MIRRORED_REPEAT image.filters = [ new PIXI.filters.DisplacementFilter(displacementImage, 200), new PIXI.filters.DisplacementFilter(displacementImage2, 50) ] // Add the image to the app app.stage.addChild(image) app.stage.addChild(displacementImage) app.stage.addChild(displacementImage2) // add rotation app.ticker.add(() => { displacementImage.x = displacementImage.x + 0.5 displacementImage2.x = displacementImage2.x - 0.5 }) }) articleTags.forEach(article => { document.addEventListener("scroll", function () { if(article.offsetTop - 200 <= pixels){ originalImage = article.querySelector("img") originalImageSource = originalImage.getAttribute("src") } }) })
Ram M posted a topic in General TalkHi I want to know the Application for sprite creation for 2d games.Which one is good in quality wise and size also.Any idea about this please share with me.
Need help in resizing sprite sheetso I created a spritesheet online and and added to my game. but some sprites are small in size so how do I change the size of sprite: { "filename": "Attack__004", "frame": { "x": 1, "y": 1951, "w": 111, "h": 96 }, "rotated": false, "trimmed": true, "spriteSourceSize": { "x": 9, "y": 5, "w": 111, "h": 96 }, "sourceSize": { "w": 120, "h": 110 }, "pivot": { "x": 0.5, "y": 0.5 } }, I don't know which one is the height and width of image. So do can I resize the image inside the json file or I must manually resize and pack it again? Btw, I used this tool http://free-tex-packer.com/app/ (no PC to use texture packer :-) ) Thanks in advance
phaser 3 How to enable Debug showing Sprite collision boxesHey guys, I have searched all over to figure this our but no luck. How do I enable the debug to show the bounding/collision boxes on sprites in Phaser 3? this was pretty easy to do in Phaser 2 but I dont see any docs on how to do this for 3. Thanks!!!
Sprite not added to the stage when game is overHy everyone, My game ends when the player and the enemy collides. Detecting the collision works fine, the issue is not caused by it. When the game ends I stop the ticker with the .stop() function, is that why I cannot add sprites any more to the stage? (I dont think so because I tested it but still asking). After I stop the ticker I want to add the game-over.png as a sprite which I see in chrome debugger that it is loaded, but it does not appear on the stage. if (isCollision(player.getBounds(), enemy.getBounds())) { app.stage.removeChild(player); app.stage.removeChild(enemy); app.ticker.stop(); PIXI.loader.add('game-over','resources/images/game-over.png').load(ready); function ready(){ let gameOver = new Sprite(PIXI.loader.resources['game-over'].texture); app.stage.addChild(gameOver); } } I played around with setting the coordinates of the sprite too to see if the image may be out of the stage but it did not solve the issue.
function of the Sprite Object not recognized
Golden Gui posted a topic in melonJSHello everyone, i'm facing an issue pretty weird discovering the melonJS framework following the space invaders tutorial. When i try to implement the player movement actions, i get a problem on the clamp function of the Sprite Object. I'm more from the TypeScript world so not really used to the old way making objects on js, but i verified the melonjs.js file, and the function seems to be implemented well into the object. I use the last release of the boilerplate by the way. Thanks in advance.
artist Looking for 2d sprite artist
TarVK posted a topic in Collaborations (un-paid)Hey, I am Tar van Krieken and I am working on a simple 2d game with a friend of mine. Neither of us are particularly good at graphics however, so we are looking for someone that can create some 2d textures for us and help with the style and theming of the game. We will require sprite animations for entities that walk around and do some other things, as well as textures for blocks and other things in the world. None of the graphics have been done, so it would be entirely up to you. I don't want to give away too much information about the game yet. It is not really a secret, but I would rather not have it on a public forum before we can finish it anyhow. It is roughly a 2d puzzle game similar to lemmings. I don't mind whether it has a pixelated style or not, but I have been working on some things to give the game a 3d feel despite being 2d, so it will have to fit that. Here is a video of some tests I have been doing: https://puu.sh/Bi2bS/e442b24781.mp4 . It makes use of normal maps to create semi 3d lighting, together with shadows that I have been working on: https://github.com/TarVK/pixi-shadows . I can explain how normal maps work if you are interesting in collaborating and don't know this yourself yet. Some of my other work can be found here: https://github.com/TarVK http://ludumdare.com/compo/author/thegunmaster/ As can be understood from this being in the 'unpaid' section, I am not willing to pay anything for the work. After the game is done we will have to decide where to publish it however, so if it turns out we make any money off of it, these profits will be shared of course. But that is a rather unlikely scenario, it will probably end up somewhere for free. Let me know if you are interested in working together, please link me some of your work, and then maybe we can get in touch

Hi, I'm new with Phaser, I'm wondering how can I create a group of enemies that appears at the side of the screen in a random Y position between 550px and 745 px, after they appear they need to start to fire to my character Right now I have a function to create the bullets and how they will be fired: createBullets:function(laserToFire,track,offsetX, offsetY, bulletDirection,fireRate,bulletSpeed){ weapon = gameSP.add.weapon(10, laserToFire); weapon.bulletKillType = Phaser.Weapon.KILL_WORLD_BOUNDS; weapon.bulletSpeed = bulletSpeed; weapon.fireRate = fireRate; weapon.trackSprite(track, offsetX, offsetY); weapon.fireAngle = bulletDirection;right } So what I'm looking to do is to have each one of my enemies within the group to fire to my character. Thanks in advance.
Hi! character in my game is this cat: The cat is class extending group and contains torso and head, both are sprites with arcade physics enable on it. In the game, the cat is pushed up by applying velocity on it and it collects certain items (gameplay is similar to Flip the Gun game, check it out for better understanding). THE PROBLEM: In update method, I am constantly checking for collisionse between cat and the items: this.game.physics.arcade.overlap(this._cat, this._sceneObjectsLayer, this.onObjectCollision, null, this); My onObjectCollision method looks like this: onObjectCollision(cat: Phaser.Sprite, item: GeneratedItem) { console.log("COLLISION SOURCE IS " + cat.key); console.log("COLLISION! OBJECT ID IS " + item.ItemID + "... UPDATE FRAME IS " + this._updateFrameCnt); this._items++; this._UI.showCount(this._items); item.KillItem(); //inside this method I call item.kill() this._sceneObjectsLayer.remove(item); } Basically, it should just update the total amount of items taken in player UI. The problem is that same item is sometimes collected multiple times. That makes sense - one collision for torso, one for head, but I would expect it not to call this method for the same item after item.kill() is called. I already debugged this and I put the variable this._updateFrameCnt to update method. Result is this. You can see that the item with certain ID is collected, then it is killed and after few frames it is collected again like no kill() was called on it: State_game.ts:451 COLLISION SOURCE IS catHead State_game.ts:452 COLLISION! OBJECT ID IS 0... UPDATE FRAME IS 2034 GeneratedItem.ts:52 KILLING ITEM WITH ID 0 //called from item.KillItem //and after few frames: State_game.ts:451 COLLISION SOURCE IS catTorso State_game.ts:452 COLLISION! OBJECT ID IS 0... UPDATE FRAME IS 2040 GeneratedItem.ts:52 KILLING ITEM WITH ID 0 //called from item.KillItem Moreover, this sometimes happens for the same sprite (for example it is called twice for head sprite). Is this expected behaviour due the reasons how Phaser handles physics? Seems really strange for me, I would expect to make physics computation after each frame and therefore no second collision should occur, because the item should be dead at the time. Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for your responses!
How do you bring sprites/groups to front with Phaser 3?
Sammdahamm posted a topic in Phaser 3Hey guys, So I've just started refactoring my codebase to Phaser 3 today and I've hit a few bumps. Nothing too bad so far, but one I can't get my head around is how to bring sprites/sprite groups to the front of the display in Phaser 3. In Phaser 2 we had game.world.bringToTop(group), but I'm struggling to find the equivalent in Phaser 3. Any help appreciated, nice one thanks. Sam
Can't add spritesheet animation sprite.animations is undefined?I'm trying to add a bubble-pop spritesheet animation to my game. I have added other sprites fine, and when I add the sprite for the bubble, everything is still good. However, when I go to add the animations, I get an error, "Cannot read property 'add' of undefined. How can I animate the bubble? var config = { type: Phaser.AUTO, width: 1366, height: 768, parent: "canvas", scene: { preload: preload, create: create} }; var game = new Phaser.Game(config); function preload () { this.load.image('freeplayBG', 'images/freeplay-BG.png'); this.load.image('shark', 'images/nice-shark.png'); this.load.spritesheet('bubblePop', 'images/bubble_pop_under_water_spritesheet.png', {frameWidth: 394, frameHeight: 511} ); } function create() { //Set background this.add.image(685, 384, 'freeplayBG'); //Set shark and make draggable var shark = this.add.sprite(200, 300, 'shark').setInteractive(); this.input.setDraggable(shark); this.input.dragDistanceThreshold = 16; this.input.on('drag', function (pointer, gameObject, dragX, dragY) { gameObject.x = dragX; gameObject.y = dragY; }); //create the bubble sprite var bubble = this.add.sprite(700, 300, 'bubblePop'); console.log(bubble); //Sprite {_events: Events, _eventsCount: 0, scene: Scene, type: "Sprite", parentContainer: null, …} console.log(bubble.animations); // undefined console.log(this) //Scene {sys: Systems, game: Game, anims: AnimationManager, cache: CacheManager, plugins: PluginManager, …} bubble.animations.add('pop'); //error happens here bubble.animations.play('pop', 10, false, true);

Image is pixelatedHi I'm trying to run my game on a mobile device with the Phaser 3 framework and sprites are rendered as very pixelated images. I'm running the game through the Facebook web player. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 device which the resolution is 1440x2560 with a device pixel ratio of 4. I have setup the same configuration on my PC through the Chrome mobile debug view (1440/2560 with pixel ratio of 4) and the images look way better. I have attached two screenshot of the PC (good) and mobile (bad) devices to show the difference. The game is rendered as CANVAS and I'm using the window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight to define the sizes. Does anyone have any insight about what's going on?
Extending Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite Class?Hi, I've checked a couple posts on this forum regarding extending classes in Phaser, but get confused on how it exactly works, below is the code I'm trying to implement to add stats to a sprite: class spriteStats extends Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite { constructor (scene, x, y,myExtra) { super(scene, x, y); this.setTexture('../assets/testsprite.png'); this.setPosition(x, y); } setStats(speed, jump){ var stats = { "speed": speed, "jump": jump, } } getStats(){ return stats } } But when I attempt to create the sprite: var hero = this.add.spriteStats(100, 450, 'hero',0).setInteractive(); hero.setStats(5,5); it gives me a: "Uncaught TypeError: this.add.spriteStats is not a function". I don't think I'm extending the class correctly. Please forgive me, as I'm still relatively new to JavaScript. Thanks!
Angle to pointer and Anchor to sprite
GivoNeedsHelp posted a topic in Phaser 3Hello! I'm trying to make a game like raze (flash game from 2010~ish) and I currently have a level import system and moving animated sprite. I am using matter.js for the physics. I am also using phaser 3 v3.12 as tiled hit detection(? idk how to say) breaks in the the newer versions. I saw the demo for angle to pointer (http://phaser.io/examples/v2/arcade-physics/angle-to-pointer#gv) and wondered if something like it existed in Phaser 3. and also, it would be great if i could anchor a sprite onto another moving one (the weapon on the player) as then it would work, but idk how to do it as I couldn't find anything for phaser 3. Thanks for your help, I might not respond right away! AND here is my project link(so i can work on it on the multiple different computers that I have): https://codesandbox.io/s/k0mq2lj533 ~~~~technically I'm copying the code from the "making modular game worlds in phaser 3 part 5" demo, but this is how I get started on projects as I'm not good at setting things up!
Custom Bitmap Font from Images ToolHi everyone. I wanted to see if there was a good tool for creating bitmap fonts for games. One that can get an image created in Photoshop or Illustrator of a custom stylized font character set and create a sprite based bitmap font. I've used Shoebox for a long time, but it hasn't been updated for a few years and it's made in Adobe Air. Is there a more modern and better alternative that doesn't rely on Adobe Air? I've seen other tools that takes windows fonts and let's you create limited styling on them, but that's not what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated.
SOLVED: custom factory: unable to return object contextHey, I got a lot of ES6 classes for my game, so I use a factory, that is hooked into phaser as a plugin. Complete code below. However when I do 'const PLAYER = this.add.player(x,y);' it does not return the player object and the constant PLAYER is null. Can someone help me out here? What am I missing? class ObjectFactory extends Phaser.Plugins.BasePlugin { constructor(pluginManager) { super(pluginManager); pluginManager.registerGameObject('player', this.createPlayer); pluginManager.registerGameObject('overlay', this.createOverlay); } createPlayer(x, y) { return this.displayList.add(new Player({ scene: this.scene, x: x, y: y })); } createOverlay(x, y, w, h) { return this.displayList.add(new Overlay({ scene: this.scene, x: x, y: y, w: w, h: h })); } } Plugin config: plugins: { global: [ { key: 'Factory', plugin: ObjectFactory, start: true } ] }, cheers

It's like a reawakening, that stage when your offspring are finally game enough to join you in all the things you loved before you had kids.
My daughters Audra, 7, and Sarah, 5, have picked up snorkelling and snow skiing, but they're still too young to scuba dive. And the wait is killing us.
That's precisely why, on a whim, we decided to take our girls to one of the world's top dive destinations, only without our dive gear. OK, so you're likely thinking we're either (a) sadistic; (b) wildly optimistic about childcare options; or (c) hell-bent on finding family fun on land.
Actually, it's all of the above. It turns out, Cozumel's topside animals are just as exotic as what's lurking down below. From a child's perspective, Mexico's wildlife seems straight out of Lewis Carroll: animals with fin toes and iridescent feathery friends. Here's what we found on our week away.
"They'll eat in any position," said the trainer as my kids fed romaine lettuce to the huggable herbivore floating on its back. We felt its bumpy skin, big belly button and fin toenails that looked just like an elephant's. You know those nail clippings you sweep up at home? They could be a whole lot worse.
Where: Dolphin Discovery in Chankanaab National Park (9.5 km south of downtown San Miguel on Carretera Costera Sur)
Our visit to the Mayan ruins started out entirely educational. Then, the camouflaged iguanas started slithering out of holes between the bricks. After the first sighting, the Where's Waldo?-like search was on. Then Dad dared the girls to poke their finger in a hole. No takers on the prospect of going to a Mexican hospital.
Where: San Gervasio (15 km southeast of San Miguel, off of Carretera Transversal Highway)
Is it a cat? A monkey? From the Celarain Lighthouse's viewing platform, we couldn't identify the creature that wandered out of the vegetation below. As stealthily as it appeared, it was gone. Audra was quick to call this critter (a type of raccoon, we discovered) a "ca-monkey," which leaves us wondering what secret names she's given the teachers at school.
Where: Near Celarain Lighthouse in Punta Sur Eco Park (27 km south of San Miguel on Carretera Costera Sur)
Silky black capes of all sizes came swirling around Sarah's ankles, hungry for the herring clamped in her hand. It's so foreign and amusingly awkward to feed an animal whose mouth is hidden on its underside. Especially when its wingspan is bigger than yours.
Where: Stingray Beach (3 km south of San Miguel on Carretera Costera Sur)
En route to the beach there was fighting in the backseat and impatience in the front. The crocodile diversion, a chance drive-by sighting, couldn't have been staged any better: a murky roadside lagoon, a spiny back and head just above water, and a stench foul enough to shut everyone's traps.
Where: Punta Sur Eco Park (27 km south of San Miguel on Carretera Costera Sur)
We went for lunch at a quiet beach and got sidetracked by a peacock. The kids followed, no, chased the iridescent bird, whose only saving grace was the slowing white sand underfoot. We stopped in our tracks when we realized we were on the roosting grounds of 30 more peacocks. What a colourful revolt it could've been.

I spent two weekends ago in Bethany Beach, Delaware, with friends. Great fun, but having been vacationing in the area for years, I was excited to climb on the jetty and throw my 10wt for big bluefish in the mornings. I brought all of the needed gear, but forgot my korkers (studded boots for climbing on jetties). Not wanting to risk slipping and dying on the amazingly slippery rocks (which happens to people here every year), I decided to break out my 5wt and hit Burton Island, behind the inlet. With the tide coming in, I figured I had a decent shot at a small trout, or slot striped bass.
Burton Island is accessible at a small parking lot by the Indian River Marina. I put on my waders, and walked in along the trail. As I got as close to the inlet as the trail would allow, I trekked into the woods, and popped out in the grass at the edge of the island. Here the water was full of 4″-6″ jumping mullet, silversides, and killifish, and there were fish feeding on them. The water here was about 5 feet deep, and I was able to stand in the ankle deep water in the grass and swing a clouser minnow in the current. I managed to catch a few snapper bluefish in the 10-12″ range – fun on a 5wt. No trout, and no stripers. I imagine fishing here on the same tide at night would yield different results.
I also tried fishing the beach while I was in Bethany. With my 10wt and my shooting, sinking line I fished the rough surf, hoping for big blues. When I finally put the rod down, I saw them – a pod of bluefish ripping apart mullet. They were 200 feet out, well past my fly rod's range, and they were big – 30″ fish, throwing themselves clear from the water, swirling on the surface, and moving steadily down the beach toward the inlet. I followed them, hoping they would push the mullet into the surf, but it never happened. They eventually disappeared, and I walked back to my friends, wishing I had my korkers. If I was in the Rehoboth/Bethany/Dewey area now, I would recommend climbing the jetty (with the right footwear) and throwing 5″ deceivers for chopper blues.

The company has just announced that in the last three months of 2013, they sold and delivered 6,900 electric cars, which is 25% higher than what they sold in the third quarter of the year and 20% above the guidance of "slightly under 6,000" that they had given at the end of that quarter. The market seems to like the news, as shares of Tesla are up more than 12% so far today.
Jerome Guillen, Tesla's vice president of sales and service, also mentioned that Elon Musk and Tesla's engineers are working "feverishly" on the Model X electric crossover that should begin production later this year.
No new guidance for 2014 yet, except for: "What's in store for 2014? It's growth, growth and growth," Guillen said. "On the sales and service side, it's reckless growth."As for farther in the future, Tesla said that it has no plans to partner with someone else to develop its "Gen III" electric car that is planned for 2017. That's the model that should be produced in mass-market quantities and be priced much lower than the Model S (a good guess is in the $30k range).
Tesla also used the opportunity to highlight its impressive safety record (despite what the media might want you to believe):
Tesla remains the only manufacturer with a perfect safety record of zero deaths or serious, permanent injuries ever. Including the Roadster, Tesla vehicles have now been on the road for almost six years in 31 countries with almost 200 million miles driven to date. Despite dozens of high speed collisions, the driver and passengers have always been protected. This is Tesla's proudest achievement.
Independent testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the Tesla Model S a 5 star safety rating overall and in every subcategory without exception. Of all vehicles tested, including every major make and model approved for sale in the United States, the Model S set a new record for the lowest likelihood of injury to occupants. While the Model S is a sedan, it also exceeded the safety score of all SUV's and minivans.

So this outfit was inspired by the fashion "do not's". Mixing print is super hard to do, but I've done it in a neutral way. I kept the main colour a dark navy which is a neutral colour. The secondary colour in the cardigan is cream and the skirt white. Since white and cream are in the same colour family, I think this matches perfectly. The brown breaks up the pattern, and gives it a more daytime feel. I've also added hints of gold with my accessories. This outfit is very wearable in the day, and certain elements of this outfit make it casual. May I add that I am so sick of tights, the tights weren't an option for me because it was so cold. But if you live in a warmer climate please skip the tights! I'm sure the outfit could look a lot better without tights.

Question regarding lubing and storing guns
I am fairly new to guns and a new member of The Firing Line, and I have questions regarding the proper lubing of guns for storage. I apologize if this question has already been answered or is in the wrong place.
So, I've been told that when storing a gun, to make sure to lube it as you normally would with a thin layer of oil on the inside of the barrel and outside of gun to prevent against corrosion. But, to run a patch or two through the barrel before firing to remove the oil.
Here are my questions:
-when firing a semi-automatic pistol, is it safe to have the OUTSIDE of the barrel lubed? I know these barrel get hot, but I'm just thinking of proper lubrication since slides rub against barrels.
-When storing a gun (whether rifle or pistol), is it okay to keep it lubed both inside and out like you normally would, but chambered with a round with a thin coat of oil in the barrel? Same with bullets in the cylinder of a revolver with the holes oiled? The bullets wont cause any issues over time to the gun will they and vice versa? If I were shooting it, I wouldn't do It. I'd wipe it out.
-Can I carry a gun with the barrel lubed inside? I know If I shot it in an emergency, it wouldn't be good, but since it is unlikely to happen and would be an emergency, I shouldn't worry?
Thank you for the help

Welcome aboard. Lots of nice folks here to help.
The outside of the barrel of pistols is routinely lubed. Most people do this by wiping it with an oiled patch or a corner of a rag with gun oil.
For long term storage, I wouldn't leave a round in the chamber. I prefer to take the tension off all the springs, hammer down, striker released, that sort of thing. For short-term storage it shouldn't be a problem. Likewise carrying a pistol with a thin coat of oil in the barrel is not a problem.
The key to all this is understanding that proper lubrication is thin coatings of lube. You should be able to feel it but not see it when you are done. Oil shouldn't drip off or fly off when you shoot. When people say to lubricate a gun thoroughly (like Beretta does in their manuals) it means everything is oiled, but lightly. Other brands, like Glock recommend only certain parts receive any lubrication at all. Follow your manual, but use a light touch. Needle oilers are used a lot on firearms to keep the volume down. If you get to much, wipe it off, and you will almost certainly leave an effective amount behind.
Long exposure to a heavy amount of oil can cause ammo to be unreliable, but those are amounts of oil that you don't need and shouldn't use, anyway. I have a hard time imagining a properly (lightly) oiled gun contributing enough oil to a round to cause it to misfire, honestly.

I field-strip and clean my guns annually, whether I fired them over the year, or not.
Internal areas that were lubed are often bone-dry; running a patch through the barrel of a gun that was stored having had an oily patch down the bore prior to storage is not going to be necessary.
Guns that are being maintained strictly for storage get oiled, inside and out.
Guns that might be pulled out of the safe and put straight into action get a coating of grease on the internals, so the lube is still there months down the road.
Leaving a loaded round in the chamber(s) of a freshly lubed gun could result in the primers being rendered inert via oil contamination.
I've read some stuff about using water, oil, and various other substances to intentionally kill primers, they're more durable than you might think, but I wouldn't want to count on a round that had spent appreciable time in a lubed gun.
Runs off at the mouth about anything 1911 related on this site and half the time is flat out wrong.

Thank you for getting back with me everyone.
The reason why I was asking about an internally oiled barrel with a bullet in the chamber was because I was thinking about home defense. The gun, at least mine, would remain in my nightstand for a very long period of time; years probably. I dont get out and shoot much; hardly ever. Of course, I do take it out and lube it internally once a year, but I didnt know what position (clocked and loaded, or with just the mag in the mag-well without a bullet in the chamber) to have it stored in since it would be for home defense.
So, just to clarify, keep all guns not being used that are stored away without ammunition in them, and ones that are for home defense, with only the magazine in?

If possible store the guns in a low humidity environment, like inside an air conditioned building.

The amount of oil needed to protect from rust in a non-hostile environment is almost insignificant. The surface certainly doesn't need to be wet or dripping.
For protecting the inside of a barrel, I would run an oily patch down the bore and then follow it with a very loosely fitting patch to remove any excess oil.
As for lubricating the rest of the gun, it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions as different guns have different lubrication requirements.
That said, there are some "dry lubricants" like Hornady One Shot that spray on wet and then dry completely, leaving a very light dry film that not only prevents corrosion but also provides lubrication.
Do you know about the TEXAS State Rifle Association?

To prevent corrosion during long term storage use grease, not oil. Oil will drain off with gravity over time. Grease will not. Just remember it'll have to come off before shooting.
The OUTSIDE of the barrel lubed doesn't require lube. The slide should not be rubbing on the barrel anyway, but lubing it will result in a cloud of smoke when the very hot barrel cooks the oil off. It's not dangerous or unsafe. Just unsightly.
Your firearm's manual should tell you where it should be lubed for shooting. Anything else isn't needed.
Spelling and grammar count!

Depending on the gun. A little oil on the outside of the barrel is a pretty good idea. Sigs, in particular, are known for wear. It's referred to as "Sig Smileys".

Too much grease can dry and cake and gum up the works, oil attracts dust.

Glock for one, specifically shows the barrel as a lube point in their literature.
Ive always lightly lubed the outside of the barrels on all my autos, and never saw "a cloud of smoke" come off the gun because of it, and I normally shoot more than just a box or two at each outing, so I know the gun is "warm".
What I dont do, is lube or oil the inside of the barrels/chambers.
Whatever you use, the less the better. You really dont need very much to actually lube the gun. Storage is no different.
If youre worried about rust, Eezox works well for that, and when applied properly, isnt an issue with gumming or anything you often hear. But again, less is better.
What I will recommend you stay away from, is Frog Lube. And especially if your not going to use the gun for more than a week or two. I used it exclusively for a short while, and followed the (ever changing) directions to the letter, and still had problems with it, and especially with gumming when the guns sat, and for only a short period of time.
Ive used most of the commercial gun oils, lubes, and greases over the years, and for the last 4 or 5 years now, have been using Mobil One synthetic motor oil for everything but guns that do require grease, like my M1's.
The Mobil One works great, and a quart will last you forever. Im still on the first quart I bought, and theres still about 3/4's of it left in the bottle.

I hear people say to get out stored guns and check them monthly, and to recoat the outside of gun and inside of barrel then put back. Then, field trip annually and clean and oil them. Is this all true? I field trip once a year for my guns.
Should I clean and lube more often then just once a year for stored guns? I hear it can be rough on the gun to.take it apart and clean and lube a lot.

Get yourself a quart of Ballistol (mineral oil). Use it liberally on the exterior of your guns -- metal as well as wood. It does not harm wood like typical gun oil. For storage use it in the chamber plus down thru the barrel. Ballistol is wonderful stuff. I happen to live in Florida -- pretty humid. No rust issues.

IDK, some people take extreme care of their weapons. Checking and cleaning every month sounds good, certainly wouldn't hurt. I clean my hunting rifles and store them in silicone gun socks until the next season. I've never had a problem with rust doing this. I ensure I wipe the metal down good before I put it in storage, if you don't, you chance rust formation.
I also keep all my firearms loaded, 24/7-365. But that's just me. As I am a firm believer that an unloaded gun kills more people than a loaded one while messing with it. ("Honest Officer, I thought it was unloaded").
I also lightly wipe my cartridges (the ones I'm loading into a firearm) with a silicone cloth, then I wipe them down with a dry rag and load them into a given firearm or magazine. I do not touch the cartridges with bare hands if I do not intend on using the firearm anytime in the near future. I do this to keep any corrosion or discoloration from forming on the cartridges.
Follow the advice TailGator gave you, as that's good advice, if not the best. g/l

Zeroed, you keep all your guns loaded with a round in the CHAMBER?
So, there is nothing wrong with having the inside of the barrel lubed with a round in the chamber?

Welcome to TFL, Fallen God! I'm not going to answer everything point by point, because others have already answered most of it. There are, however, a couple of quick points I'd like to make.
I don't check mine as often as I should, and I have always leaned towards low-maintenance finishes like parkerizing, Melonite, or Tennifer. My maintenance schedule (if you can call it a "schedule") goes something like this:
1.Carry Guns:
a. About once a month or every other month:2. Range Guns:i. Field stripb. Do the same every 2-3 range trips
a. After almost every range trip*:3. Safe Sitters:i. Field strip
a. Once a year or so, field strip, clean and lube* = I say "almost" every range trip. If I know I'll be headed back to the range soon, I'll skip the cleaning between trips.
I'm a lawyer, but I'm not your lawyer. If you need some honest-to-goodness legal advice, go buy some.

I am a terrible person. After I shoot my semi-autos, I field strip my them, clean them, lube the rails lightly, and rub everything with a slightly oily rag. That's it. Then they go back in the gun safe. On one hand, my ex-military relative claims that I'm "ruining them through neglect". On the other hand, I've never had one come up rusty, malfunction due to dirtiness, or wear out. What I'm doing is apparently enough.
If I were going to have a HD handgun sitting around for months or years at a time loaded and unused, it would be a revolver.

For decades, before I found better things, I used to use WD 40 for wipe down and general preventive type stuff. I never had any of the gumming, varnishing, etc issues you hear so much about, but I also didnt use it "liberally", and hose the guns down with it.
I think if you do that with any of them, thats when youre going to run into troubles, especially if youre letting things sit over long periods of time.
Ive done this daily, and for extended periods of time, for decades, and never had any problems.
Now the outside of the gun, WHOLE different story, especially in the days prior to hard chrome and kydex.

Moisture is the enemy
Here's a handy tip, and it's 100% free!
Whenever you get a new TV set or other electronics it's really common to find little packets of Silica Gel crystals packed with them.
The packets are typically white fabric, they look like pillows for Leprechauns. They vary in size and invariably will have Do Not Eat printed on them.
Save them!
Throw them in your gun safe. Silica gel will absorb moisture from the air and trap it in the crystals. Most gun safes are pretty well sealed when they are locked up. Silica gel inside the safe will absorb moisture and reduce humidity, that's a good thing for your guns.
The silica gel packets can be placed in a WARM not hot oven for a few hours to drive off the moisture, thus regenerating the crystals. The Silica gel packets are good pretty much forever.
Control the environment and you will eliminate rust and corrosion.
There are several commercial products on the market that use Silica Gel crystals. My method is free, and does exactly the same thing. I would not use the Dri-Z-Air type, those use salts, not Silica gel.
Silica gel is quite inert. Spilling some of the stuff or the liquid collected by the Dri Z air things would trash a fine firearm in minutes...that stuff is nasty.
Freedom is not free

Fallen - you have gotten many good answers to your questions, but it seems this one is the one that you are still most interested in:
"So, there is nothing wrong with having the inside of the barrel lubed with a round in the chamber?"
The definitive answer is - no, there is nothing wrong with having a round in the chamber with the barrel "lubed". The gun won't explode if you fire a round with a little oil in the barrel.
That is, if you understand what most have said about the subject. A light coating of oil is sufficient. Like JohnKSa said, a good method is to run a lightly oiled patch down the barrel and then a dry patch. Don't worry, there will be enough oil left to do the job it's supposed to do.
I hope that puts that question to bed for good.

Thank you so much everyone for taking time to answer my questions. I get a bit OCD about taking care of things and I guess I should worry less and shoot more.

As to the OCD, shooters' schedules for maintenance runs through a wide spectrum. If you read posts here long enough, you'll find that there are people who are absolutely meticulous in their gun care. I'm clearly not one of them.
Shoot more. Enjoy it. Become proficient if you can. I understand that range trips take a chunk out of the day. That said, there are bigger things to worry about than whether you'll wear out a gun by cleaning it too much, IMNSHO.

If you have to shoot someone in self-defense, the question of "was the inside of my barrel lubed" is going to be way, WAY down on the list of things to worry about. As in, right below whether your socks match your underwear.

In regards to the "lubed" barrel, I think what needs to be stressed is, the dry patch after you lube it.
Leaving the bore sloppy "wet" with anything oil or lube related is not a good thing, especially in guns with a small bore diameter.

Opposition lawmakers walked out of the national agricultural summit yesterday, while farmers' and fishermen's representatives said they did not rule out the possibility of taking to the streets again on Farmers' Day next year.
Calling yesterday's summit an "academic-oriented forum" rather than a "policy-making meeting," six KMT lawmakers attending the summit held at the Taipei International Convention Center boycotted the morning session and requested to speak from the floor.
"We refuse to come over here to be cheerleaders and a rubber stamp for the government," said KMT legislator Lee Chia-chin (李嘉進). "We should be entitled to express our own opinions as should other lawmakers from different parties."
DPP legislator Tsai Huang-liang (蔡煌瑯), however, said that the DPP caucus was more than happy to let farmers and fishermen take center stage.
"Since the summit is held for farmers and fishermen, we should listen to their voices," he said. "We can always express our opinions at the legislature."
Lee also complained about the seating arrangements whereby farmers and fishermen's representatives were at the back of the room and government officials at the front.
Jumping on the bandwagon, TSU lawmaker Su Ying-kwei (蘇盈貴) said that it was unfair that representatives of farmers and fishermen got only three minutes each to speak.
As the subsequent argument dragged on for about 30 minutes, Vice Premier Lin Hsin-i (林信義) proposed that the one hour left for discussion be evenly allocated to lawmakers, experts and farmers and fishermen.
Visibly unimpressed with the proposal, all the TSU lawmakers present left the venue to show their anger.
KMT lawmakers later held a press conference at the venue saying that they would keep silent during the meeting and let farmers and fishermen have their allocated time slot.
They also refused to endorse any of the conclusions made during the meeting.
They did, however, pledge to push for the passage of the agricultural financing law at the legislature during the current legislative session.
DPP lawmakers held a press conference to call on the government to earmark a NT$10 billion relief fund for the losses to local farmers stemming from the import of cheaper or better quality imported goods.
They also requested the government provide funding to help poorly operated farmers' and fishermen's associations to continue such businesses as the promotion and marketing of agricultural produce.
To maintain social impartiality, DPP lawmakers said that the government should swiftly and fairly punish those who illegally and deliberately hollow out grassroots co-ops.
Although Chuang Chuan-hsin (莊轉心), a spokesman of Taiwan Agro-Fighters United (全國農漁會自救會), a farmers and fishermen's representative group, said that while they were happy to be able to voice their opinions at yesterday's summit, they did not rule out the possibility of taking to the streets again on Farmers' Day next year.
"Everything is possible until my men agree to drop it," Chuang said.

Bye-bye July!
July, that is. It's not July's fault that it is so difficult to get through. After all, a month cannot be blamed for its events, its sadness or grief – but, nevertheless, those things shape it for all time.
At least, for me.
I have to live July with intention.
To plan joy.
To not give in to sorrow and sadness.
To be on prayer watch.
To turn up my perception and discernment meters!
To be extra sensitive and compassionate.
I don't write much in July, instead I fill my blog posts with photos, favorites, recipes and invite 25 girlfriends into our home on a rainy Saturday for lunch, silly prizes, fabulous fellowship and food!
You see for me, and the pretty young reflection in my mirror (my daughter), July was stolen from us 12 years ago by a senseless murder, a road trip to hot Texas for a funeral where our tears were joined with the 150% humidity, a memorial service of raw memories and affections, rental cars, more road trips, house guests, grief, sorrow, and a big fat void in my faith.
July lingers with a cloud.
Faith was restored. Hope was renewed. Grief surrendered. Tears dried.
Because we serve a faithful God who wrote this down so we'd remember it:
…His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30.5
So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…Joel 2.25
See you in August!

It keeps growing & growing & growing....
Tuesday, March 4, 2008
The baby world begins!!
So I actually have controlled myself pretty well in the shopping department! But here are the first things that we bought for her and my sister-in-laws and I painting the nursery. Rich was out of town and we were on a time crunch so the lovingly came to my mercy! I am having fun sewing the nursery and decorating but I seem to always create huge projects that I regret a little as I am doing them! Oh well! The baby is growing well and kicking lots and I am finally not sick! It only took about 23 weeks! So things are definitely looking up.
Viva Las Vegas for Valentines day!
Rich and I decided last minute to got to vegas on valentines day because he needed to go down for work anyways, so I tagged along! It was fun and fast. We went to dinner on Valentines day at a place in the Mandalay Bay where we were staying and the we went to the Shark Reef exhibit after. It was actually really cool and we were glad that we went. So here we are. The jelly fish were my favorite!

I'm working through Stillwell's "Naive Lie Theory". I'm supposed to show that the identity component of a matrix group is a subgroup in two steps. I'm allowed to assume that "matrix multiplication is a continuous operation". First question- what does this mean? Does this mean multiplying matrices by a fixed matrix is continuous, or multiplying two matrices which vary?
In the first step, I'm supposed to prove that if there are continuous paths in the group $G$ from 1 to $A \in G$ and to $B \in G$ then there is a path in G from $A$ to $AB$.
I did this by assuming that matrix multiplication by a fixed matrix was continuous. I presume that this will get us closure under group operation by concatenating the path from 1 to $A$ with the path from $A$ to $AB$.
Second, and where I am stuck, is in proving that if there is a continuous path in $G$ from 1 to $A$ there is also a continuous path from $A^{-1}$ to 1. If I knew that the map that sends $A$ to $A^{-1}$ was continuous, I think I would be done, but I don't know how to get this easily.

Welcome to my blog. You can read about my adventures in different types of needlework, and I also offer some free cross stitch patterns. Please, come back often. :)
Hang a bird in the window
It happened twice in the past 5 years - since I have been living here - that a bird flew into the window and died. In my apartment there are windows on both sides. Apparently, the birds see the light from the other side, they don't see the window, and they think they can fly through. After the first case I wanted to hang a dark bird shape - but I did not like the idea of watching a black shape all the time. So instead I made a patchwork bird for one of my windows. But then it happened again, so now I have a patchwork bird in each window. See the tutorial here .
In case you are not into patchwork but love cross stitch, I created a pattern that I am sharing with you all here. One is colourful, kind of summery, the other is almost just one colour - you can choose which colour you want in case you wish to match the bird to your curtains or the rest of the decorations.
Click on the picture to get the pdf pattern.
After stitching, this needs to be sewn onto a dark background - it is important that from the outside the birds see a dark shape. I read somewhere that they think it is the shadow of a predator bird and avoid it. I will write a tutorial how to do that in a few days. Until then, get stitching your bird. :D
Edit on 9th June: I have finished the stitching.
(I noticed some mistakes, or I should say I made a mistake while stitching: I tried to do the upper and the bottom halves symmetrical but I didn't draw it that way, so I had to wiggle it here and there. Just in case you notice that it is not exactly following the pattern ;) )

Under a plea agreement, worked out by his attorney David Hayakawa, Tagawa's charge was knocked down from a misdemeanor charge of abuse of a household member.
He was fined $1,000 and placed on probation for a year.
He also was ordered to attend domestic violence intervention classes and agreed to write a letter of apology to the victim.
Hayakawa said the $1,000 would be contributed to Ala Kuola, a group that provides legal services to domestic violence victims. Hayakawa said that if Tagawa, 57, stays out of trouble for a year, the charge would be wiped from his record.
Tagawa made no comment about the incident. On Nov. 14, police responded to a 911 call and found a woman in her 50s with injuries. She did not require an ambulance or hospitalization.
District Family Court Judge Darryl Choy was upset that an arrest warrant was not issued for Tagawa after he missed five earlier court appearances.
"There is so much slack here that you could wrap a rope around the world," Choy said.
After the hearing, Hayakawa said Tagawa would not comment on the incident but added that the martial arts expert "from the very beginning took full responsibility for this case. He made no excuses and it took a little while because of his schedule to wrap this up."
Some of Tagawa's best-known films include "Memoirs of a Geisha," "Pearl Harbor" and "The Last Emperor."

Spring Examining 2013 – Away for three weeks
By Peter on Feb 08, 2013 with Comments 0
I'm away examining for three weeks in March to the end of the month. This means I'll only be able to fulfill orders at weekends. Of course, you're still welcome to place orders via PayPal, but if there's a delay of a few days in receiving music in the run-up to Easter please don't be concerned.
Thanks for your understanding.

I'm woefully behind on posting and reading the blogs I follow. Martha has been posting adoption events and other updates on our blog, but I miss doing it. Work (the paying job) has been crazy lately with very long hours (16+ hour days). Add running the rescue and fostering onto that and I'm not even sure I know what sleep is anymore.
It's been a rough few weeks. We pulled a mama cat with three babies from the shelter and after a weeks, one kitten starting losing weight and doing very poorly. We lost him (Tiny Tabby - they weren't named yet) quickly but unfortunately were not able to get necropsy results because for the first time ever, the body got lost at the lab. His sister, Tiny Tortiebella, hung on and then started to get sick a week later. Lots of vet visits and 2-hour supplemental feedings but she didn't get better. A couple of weeks ago around 3AM, she was put to sleep at the emergency vet - it was the only humane thing to do per the vet. The necropsy came back and she had pneumonia and cerebeller hypoplasia due to panleuk in utero.
The last kitten was doing great - so much so that I finally named him and his mom (Athena and Zeus). He was playing, eating, not quite using the litterbox but he was using a puppy pad, and he was gaining weight every day. At 5 weeks old, he was small for his age but he was doing great and I was feeding him "kitten miracle grow" (AD canned food from the vet). Unfortunately Saturday evening, I noticed that he was listless and rushed him to the emergency vet. Only a few hours earlier, he had been playing, but his temperature plummeted, his gums were white and again, humane euthanasia was the only thing to do for him. I know panleuk usually wipes out the entire litter but he did great for two weeks after his last sibling passed. Every fiber of my being thought he would make it. My heart is broken.
Pasta Kitties
The other mama and litter we pulled a few weeks after the first mama and babies are doing well, except one kitten. These are the pasta kitties (mama is Penne Lisce and kittens are Ravioli, Fettuccine, Rotini, Tortellini, and Macaroni). Mama started rejecting Macaroni almost two weeks ago and he lost weight so we rushed to the vet. Other than the weight loss, he seems to be fine. He's been moved from his mom and has been receiving supplemental feedings (at first every 2 hours since he was tiny and now about every 4 hours). So thankful that I can work from home, but when I did have to go into the office, the local vet/emergency vet will do hospitalization boarding where they'll feed and care for him for 24 hours and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I had so many things going on this weekend that he went to another foster over the weekend and he's eating on his own some but still needs supplemental feedings. He's coming back to me tonight. Love this little man.
Butterbean and the Pepper Kitties
Butterbean was a bottle feeder that a local vet asked us to take. She was so tiny (2 days old maybe) and she got upper respiratory and was started on meds per the vet but it got worse. She spent a good part of one day last week our local vet and then went home but turned agonal and passed away on her way to the emergency vet. Full necrospy results aren't back yet.
The pepper kitties (Jalapeno, Serrano, Pablano, and Sweet Bell) were taken in by us when they were a little less than a week old. Someone took them to a local dog groomer/boarding facility and said if they didn't take the kittens, he would throw them in the lake. They called us, we took them. Jalapeno spent some time at the emergency vet a week ago last Saturday because he hadn't had any output in several days but was able to go home and was doing well. The kittens started getting sick and went to the vet. They were started on Clavamox but got worse. The foster mom spent countless hours suctioning their noses in between feedings, etc. Back to the vet and Doxycycline was prescribed. But they didn't get better. Saturday evening Pablano was rushed to the emergency vet but the outlook was not good, He was humanely euthanized. Sunday morning Serrano was rushed to the emergency vet and spent 24 hours in kitty intensive care in an oxygen tent, receiving nebulizing treatments, etc. She was doing a little better, but the vet called yesterday morning and she had crashed. We are still awaiting the necropsy results from the two pepper kitties. Panleuk is suspected by the vets, which may mean it's a really bad year for it this year. The pepper kittens and the kittens that I fostered and lost have nothing in common. They did not come from the same place, they've never been to the same foster home or even transported in the same car or any possible connection.
Sweet Bell and Jalapeno are currently at the emergency vet. They are still on Doxy and the vet has added Clavamox back in. They are in a vaporized cage and have been nebulized regularly. There is some improvement and fortunately, they are both eating really well now.
Sweet Bell and Jalapeno need your purrs and prayers please. It's hard to lose kittens, but especially hard for this foster mom as it's her first time losing kittens.
We've lost six kittens already this year. We typically lose about eight each year (which is low based on the number of kittens/cats we rescue each year and so many of them are in such poor health when we take them in). I really hope this year gets better.

Happy Adoption follow up!
Penny Loafer got adopted weekend before last and here's a happy adoption photo of her with her new mom! Everyone is doing well and the look on Penny Loafer's face seems to say "I spent so long waiting for the right person, I can't believe I got adopted by someone so great!"
It's so rewarding when someone falls in love with one of our adult cats because so many people want to adopt only kittens.
Monday, April 29, 2013
We've got an official account on the Cheezburger family of websites, and if you also do, you can friend us to make sure you never miss a kitten picture or one of our adorable cats starring in a volunteer made LOL. You can even make your own LOLs out of our pictures
Here's our very own teeny tiny Tortellini with her first jingly ball toy.
Ooh, here's an idea! Why don't you go vote for the adorableness so maybe our super cute kitties will get on the Daily Squee homepage to be shared with millions of people?
Adoption Update 4/29/13
Yay for Kimba and Katydid getting new forever home this weekend!
Katydid with her new mom!
I haven't got a picture of Kimba with his new family, but you can rest assured they are very fond of him.
Thanks to everyone who came out and especially our adopters.
On a slightly less cheerful note, Jake and Bootstrap Bill didn't work out at their new home. The cats already there weren't treating them well and the family made the hard decision to give them up so they can find a more perfect fit. They'll be at PetSmart Knightdale this weekend if you missed them and want a second chance

My chihuahua Peewee recently acquired a mild flea problem. Wouldn't be much of a problem except that he is allergic to fleas. He was so miserable…scratching so much that he scratched himself raw all over his little 7 pound body. I actually put his winter sweater on in an effort to keep him from hurting himself further. On his way home from work, I asked my husband to pick up something from WalMart for fleas. He brought home Hartz Ultra Guard pour on for dogs/cats. We carefully read the instructions and poured a thin line from his shoulders to the base of his tail. About 3 a.m., we were awakened by Peewee scratching. He would rub all over the covers trying to get relief from the itching/burning. I turned on the light and found that he was broken out all over with hives. I bathed him immediately with baby shampoo and gave him a small dose of Benedryl. Then I went online to see what else I could do for him. My search..allergies in dogs from Hartz…brought me to this Web site. I only wish I had the forethought to go online before I put that poison on my baby. Anyway, Peewee is in the hospital right now. By the time we arrived, he was running a fever, his eyes, ears, nose, feet and belly were all blood red, and he was very lethargic. The vet told me that we probably got him there in time, but only time would tell. She also said that they see hundreds of cases like this…due to Hartz. Apparently, cats have more severe reactions and most have seizures and die. How can these people get by with this? They are killing animals, people's pets, and getting by with it for profit. How can they continue to sell this product??? How many animals have to die before something is done? We thought we were helping our beloved, sweet little Peewee. We had no idea we could be killing him.
10 thoughts on "Please pray for Peewee"
Please tell us how Peewee is!! 🙁
You overdosed your dog. There is no product from Sergeants for a 7 lb dog. Even if only a little was applied, they can still have an overdose.
That's quite rude, dont tell an owner they overdosed their dog when clearly they werent the ones selling the posion, hartz and seargents are.
Well, "E",at first I wasn't going to dignify your stupidity with a comment, but now I think I will. In the first place, I did not say Sargents…I said HARTZ. And the label stated plainly, "HARTZ ULTRA GUARD Flea and Tick Drops for DOGS and PUPPIES weighing 4-15 POUNDS. Unlike you, I can read. In the second place, who the heck are you to say that to me???? Oh, wait a minute…how would you know that Sargents doesn't make a product for a 7-lb. dog in the first place? Unless you actually work for the company. I do believe we have a Sargents or Hartz watchdog in here. Either that or you sympathize with these murderers who are selling this poison. Either way, this is for the owners of the animals that are being poisoned to share their heartache and grief…not for uncompassionate, ignorant, cold-hearted people such as yourself.
…Sorry hrscrzy50, I know you are distraught due to your doggie however just because someone says something you don't like there is no reason to call them a 'watchdog'. People unfortunately do frequently over dose their animals with products and he may have a point. I'm not saying hartz isn't to blame or anything but maybe you should react calmly before knee jerking.
Sorry, Eli, but my "calm" pretty much went out the window when I was accused of overdosing my dog. After going through every painful thing I went through with Peewee…watching him writhe in agony and not knowing if he was going to die or not…I really didn't need nor want to hear such a comment. I think pretty much anyone would have reacted the same way had they just gone through what I went through. Besides that, the label read "For dogs and puppies weighing 4-15 lbs." If it had read "For dogs weighing 15-20 lbs." I would tend to agree that I could possibly have overdosed my own dog. But, no…I DO NOT agree with that statement at all.
Eli, if you dont symphathize/agree with hrcrzy50, why even post unless you want to provoke something?
I am most certainly not a watchdog. I am a veterinary toxicology specialist. Sorry I misread your post. But a lot of these products ARE misused or administered as an overdose, causing these reactions that people post on here.
Having said that, I would never (NEVER) allow a Hartz or Sergeants or any other over the counter flea product into my household. They are crap and should be pulled off the market.
You get what you pay for. Save money on the flea product, pay dearly later.
I also have a chihuahua named PeeWee that was hurt by a similar product, Sergeants Gold, just this past Saturday. I will shurly pray For your PeeWee Please Pray for mine. It has been 36 hours since I stayed up all night giving him bath after bath and the symtoms seem to be geting better.
I alos got the Hartz Ultra guard pro and the box it self is misleading on the back side of box one label IN UPPER RIGHT CORNER says FOR DOGS AND PUPPIES OVER 60LBS AND ON THE MIDDLE LEFT CORNER SAYS DO NOT USE ON A DOG UNDER 4LBS THIS WHOLE PRODUCET SCREAMS LAW SUIT IMO.
my dogs are 15 lbs 55lbs and 75lbs .My dogs seemed to have some kind of muscle senitivity to it liked they wanted to move around more and couldnt I washed it off as soon as I noticed this which was about a few hrs after I applied it and they all seem good noe I will never buy this again

USGS Water-Quality Data and Activities for the 2015 Gold King Mine Release
On August 5, 2015, a release of about three million gallons of water and sediment occurred at the Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado. At the time of the release, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was conducting an investigation of the Gold King Mine to assess the on-going water releases from the mine, to treat mine water, and to assess the feasibility of further mine remediation. The EPA planned to excavate the loose material that had collapsed into the cave entry. During the excavation above the old entrance to the underground mine, the loose material gave way, opening the adit (mine tunnel) and pressurized water began leaking above the mine tunnel, spilling the water stored behind the collapsed material into Cement Creek, a tributary of the Animas River.
This web site provides:
Current USGS Activities
USGS scientists from several offices are providing scientific input and collecting data following the release.
Examples of USGS Activities
At the request of the EPA, USGS hydrologists conducted an analysis of streamflow data from USGS streamgages along Cement Creek, Mineral Creek, and the Animas River near Silverton, Colorado. The results were used by EPA to estimate the amount of water released from the Gold King Mine on August 5, 2015.
USGS has collected water and sediment samples:
Refer to the Water-Quality Sampling Data page for all available USGS data.
Historical Data
The upper Animas River watershed near Silverton, Colorado, has been an area of extensive interdisciplinary USGS research on abandoned mine lands. Prior to mining in this area, the mineralized rocks were natural sources of metals and acidity to streams. Historical mining also contributed to the metals and acidity in streams of this area. Multiple USGS papers have been published about the environmental effects of unmined mineralized areas and historical mine sites in the Animas River watershed. These reports, and the data contained therein, provide a critical environmental baseline against which the effects of the Gold King Mine release can be assessed. The locations, types of data, and frequency of data vary based on the objectives of the USGS program or study for which they were collected.
Why do we need data from before the release?
Scientists can use data collected before the August 5, 2015, Gold King Mine release to help answer important questions, including:
For emergency response information:
For emergency response concerns or questions, please contact the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or call the EPA hotline at 844-607-9700. The USGS is not a regulatory, permitting or enforcement agency; Federal government response to the Gold King Mine is coordinated by the EPA.
Why is the USGS releasing these data now?
USGS historical data linked to from this site were already publicly released by the USGS and available online prior to the August 2015 release. This web site is intended to help Cooperators and interested community members more easily identify and download historical data that may be of relevance to water-quality studies related to the August 5, 2015, release.

Sadly, there are no cars named after dugongs or nudibranches, but there are many other animal-titled cars to choose from. Can you name them all?
I've hopped around on the Internet and found a few lists with maybe twenty or thirty entries of animal car names. I can name more than that off the top of my head.
But rather than just listen to me try to remember every relative of the Studebaker Hawk (Golden Hawk, Sky Hawk, Power Hawk, Flight Hawk, and Gran Tursimo Hawk if I'm not mistaken), I figured I'd let you try and name every car named after an animal. These may be real animals or imaginary.
Tomorrow we can pick out the very best, from the most absurd to the most obscure to the most extraordinary.
Nicknames possibly may be included, but probably not (the Opel Laubfrosch, for instance, is up for debate).

With the rain comes pain and then the insomnia. It's real hard to sleep when everything hurts and the sleep that I've been getting isn't real refreshing. Typical flare.
That truck that keeps hitting me? Did ANYONE get the license plate number?
So as I lay awake last night and prayed that I'd get drowsy, I thought about my future. What will I be able to do when the pain and insomnia do a tap dance on my system? I really don't want to be a slug but I don't feel like I'm up to the real estate world again. I don't even want to try to pretend that I'm happy about jumping up and down constantly in a sales office again, BUT...
How do you re-invent yourself at this stage of the game? I know it's possible but what path do you take when your brain is on overload and you don't know what you love to do anymore except whine, bitch, moan and complain?
Maybe I could be a weatherperson. No scientific training, mind you, but I can tell you what the pain index will be.
I could be a movie critic and tell you what DVD's to rent that will lift your spirits when you're wide awake at 3:00 a.m. praying for the pain to stop and to be able to sleep.
Maybe I could be the voice of reason that says it will get better and that it could be a lot worse. I could be MY voice of reason that states when you see the light at the end of the tunnel it's probably the train coming at you full speed.
Well, maybe I'll just get up and get my first cup of caffeine this morning and monitor what it does to the symptoms that have never gone away; symptoms that are starting to rear their ugly head once again.
As I'm shuffling toward the kitchen and ponder all of this maybe I'll try to be just a little thankful as well.
(I'll have to dig real deep for the thankful part)

Gold Mining Shares , The one asset class that is very Depressed
There was an exception last year where in China the economy was slowing down and over the last 12 months, the Shanghai index is up more than 100 per cent. So all I am saying is that in this current money-printing environment there is a lot of volatility. Even in the EMs, there are markets that are fully priced and some have potential.
We also need to consider the currency in case of Japan, for instance. When the currency went down, the stock market rallied sharply. Hence, it is not easy to generalise. But, I would say that appears to me to be very depressed, absolutely and relatively, is gold mining shares and mining stocks in general. Another asset class that was oversold a bit and has now gained somewhat is oil shares and oil servicing companies.

I know, I make fun of our friends to the North, but it's out of love, and also knowing they're all too nice to say anything about it. But the good news is, Discovery Canada has officially announced (via Twitter, thus showing the end of the world really is nigh) that they will be airing the first episode of "Bad Universe" on October 3 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time! I know what you're thinking. "Take Off! No way!"* But it's true. I'm really glad to hear that; I get several tweets a day from forlorn Canadians asking when it will air. So now you know. I also know that Discovery Asia will air the first episode on November 17. But that's all the info I have; I don't know when it'll air in any other countries, nor do I know when the second and third episodes will officially air in the US either. But I promise, as soon as I find out I'll let everyone know. Until then, read about those two tiny rocks that zipped past us yesterday. What timing!
^* If that's not what you're thinking, it's because your brain didn't learn all about Canada in the 1980s from Bob and Doug MacKenzie like mine did. Kooooo loo koo koo koo koo KOO KOO!
