1xRUN Through Interview
Sunday Mass by Jim Darling & Revok
1xRUN: Tell us a little bit about how you started making these installation pieces?
Jim Darling: Well, my wife Tina and I were living here in Los Angeles, but were looking for the next place to live. We didn't know where we wanted to go next so we pretty much got rid of everything except for a small storage unit. Our plan was to go wherever for six months, which ended up being just over a year. We toured in our Volkswagen Jetta with a little cargo trailer on the back which was full of art supplies and what not. If we were in a town where we didn't have anybody to stay with, then we looked on Craigslist or whatever for a furnished place. We started on the Oregon coast then came back down for a show I had here in LA. We went back up to Oregon and Tina and I finished our work for a two person show in New York and kept it going. The installations just started happening depending on what I found looking around in each city.
1xRUN: What was the genesis like for these sculptural installations to be a medium to work with?
Jim Darling: I did a few installations in New York, smaller ones on the Oregon coast and made some things in Texas. We went and stayed in Milwaukee for a bit and I got the chance to collaborate with one of my best buddies Eugene Good. Him and I put together a massive drunk robot in an abandoned coal refinery. Then Tina and I worked together on a big sculpture at Primary Flight for a show they had at Basel. Originally I'd just explore or maybe paint something like a big face or whatever, which is fun, but there is also a ton of cool shit laying around. Lots of it I wanted to take but we didn't have a home so it was cool to do something with it. More than anything, I like it because it's the same fun I had making random shit at the creek when I was a kid. An additional bonus was that the installations got more of a response than the other work I was doing at the time. It's exhausting but I usually bring in a few beers which helps.
1xRUN: Can you tell us a little bit how you met each other and what that experience was like?
Revok: I first met Jim & his wife, Tina in Miami a few years ago. We both were participating in a group exhibition where Jim and his wife collaborated on a really amazing piece together. I was super blown away and we met and hit it off. We loosely kept in contact over the years, I believe the two of them had spent a year traveling the states making stuff together here and there and Tina had given birth to their first child on the road. When Jim hit me up saying he was interested in visiting Detroit and working on something together I was stoked since I was really into what he had already been doing in abandoned spaces and places during his travels.
Jim Darling: My wife and I were going to work together on the flying pig sculpture "Anything is Possible" for Primary Flight in Miami during Art Basel. The Primary crew asked us get there a few days early. They didn't know us and had just been introduced to our work, so it was a bit of a gamble on their part. We told them we could make it a day or two before the opening, but that we'd have to work down to the wire. We had our Jetta and cargo trailer full of scrap wood and saws and shit. For the most part, everyone else's work was being uncreated. We met Revok and a few others real briefly each night we were trying to finish. We talked with him at the opening and after party and he was into the piece. We had always liked his work, so it was great getting feedback from him.
The next year that we went back to Miami and he was pretty much the first person I saw. He was working on his initial piece in the style he works in today. My wife Tina, Eugene Good and I and were working together that year and ended up doing that big head spewing the wave and pink boat. While taking a break I showed him pictures of our robot and he said if I ever did one in LA to give him a shout and that it looked fun.
1xRUN: When did you come to Detroit and was there a plan for what you guys wanted to do?
Jim Darling: I came to Detroit in 2012. There wasn't a plan at all. I just asked if he would be in town and he said yes so I bought a ticket. When I flew out I think he had just gotten back from somewhere. I was just going to stay in a motel but he let me crash which was nice. We drove around for a few days just looking at everything. He took me everywhere in Detroit. The church we picked was one of the buildings we looked at on the first or second day. There were a lot of great elements to work with and the building was amazing. It took us about two and a half exhausting days to complete. Kept meaning to go out and paint but ended up crashing every night.
1xRUN: This piece took quite a bit if time to complete, was it a bit different than a mural or studio piece?
Revok: It actually came together much faster than a typical "mural wall" or a piece I create in the studio, however it was much more physically laborious, which was really good! I remember carrying a giant organ and a piano up two narrow flights of stairs from the basement. Jim and I decided it would be most satisfying to create the installation only from objects and materials we could scavenge from the site itself. The church is massive so we carried all kinds of big heavy shit and swept 2 inches of dirt from the entire floor where the installation was created.
1xRUN: Did you guys have any issues going in and out of that building?
Jim Darling: Yeah. Well, the first day we went in through a basement window. When we came back the next day, it was freshly boarded up. So, we made it in another way. On the second day we had already put in bit of work when heard a photographer make his way in. We chatted with him real quick and he was just there to shoot this amazing flat file system in the corner room of the building. I had actually taken the drawers out of it for the piece. It was so beautiful that I didn't want to screw it up, so I put them back before he got there. We got back to work and after a while we decided to go up into the balcony area to get a grander view and see what we needed to do next. We heard a door from a different area close pretty hard. It was obviously the front door, which was locked and chained. Already being upstairs we went to the top and went behind some walls and looked down. A guy with a pistol strolled through the middle of the church, walking past our shit. It was dead silent except the sound of crunching under his feet. Eventually he made his way to the corner room where the photographer was and although you couldn't hear what they were saying it didn't sound friendly. Eventually the arguing stopped and shortly after that the main doors closed We caught up with the photographer and he said it was the building owner or watcher. He said the owner wasn't too happy with what we were doing in there. He had gotten a business card from the owner and gave it to us. So Revok just called the guy and told him his name was Mike and that we were the artists who had been making the big pile of shit and that we weren't taking anything. So he said that was fine and asked how long and when we planned to work on it again. We told him and then took a chance and finished it. So yeah, it was hairy for a bit.
Revok: About midway through, Jim and I were upstairs having a look from an upper balcony when we heard the front door open. It was obvious whomever entered the building had a key as we could hear the chains removed from the door. We fell back to see who was going to pop up in the space. There was another guy hanging out in the building shooting photos in a back room where these incredible circular flat files were custom built into the wall. I was under the impression this particular church was totally abandoned as it was in serious neglect but apparently that wasn't the case as we watched a large older guy come strolling into the room with a pistol in his hand. The poor dude in the back probably shit himself when the big guy cornered him in the rear room. We heard some commotion from the upper balcony then the two walked out casually chatting together before the man with the pistol split. We came down and asked the photographer what had happened. He explained to us that the guy with the pistol looks after the place and was alerted by someone in the neighborhood that somebody was in the building. He wasn't upset about him being in there taking photos, but was concerned with "Scrappers" stripping the building of valuable metal. Apparently, "pistol guy" asked the photographer about the mounting pile of shit in the center of the room, but the photographer didn't have any info to offer. Pistol guy left the photographer his card so I felt if we were going to proceed without possibly getting shot then it would be best to *69 my number and give pistol guy a ring. Luckily he answered my blocked call and I explained I just watched what happened inside the building but was reluctant to introduce myself considering he had a pistol in his hand. He asked what we were doing and I gave him my best art pitch. Pistol guy was stoked and asked that we do not take anything from the church and requested that upon completion to share an image of the final product with him. So here it is.
1xRun: Describe this piece in one gut reaction word.
Jim Darling: Infinity.
1xRUN: You've been a conduit for traveling artists coming to Detroit over the past few years, how was the experience different hosting and working with Jim?
Revok: It was rad getting away from the typical spraystraveganza and doing something more in tune with my current studio work. Also working with another artist not submerged in the graffiti world is very refreshing.
1xRUN: As an outsider, what was it like being here in Detroit?
Jim Darling: It was awesome. I'd never been to Detroit. For years, I'd seen pictures of the abandonedness and a video about Project Orange there. I had my eye on all the explorers' pictures on the web. It was exactly what I thought it would be, just a hundred times more… Shit falling apart, some left perfectly in place. We were driving around for a couple days and I had to apologize for not saying more. I kept wanting to have conversations, but all I was saying was 'holy shit, look at that,' and 'man, that's messed up', 'that's amazing looking,' or whatever. I'd never been anywhere like it. If I didn't have what I do out here I think I would be there in a heart beat. It's like a giant artist's studio, the whole city. I usually try and work with reclaimed stuff, and materials and canvas are endless, not to mention that it's cheap, and all the people were rad, great food and great music. Amazing hustling vibe. Young hungry artists should relocate to Detroit and go nuts!
1xRUN: Have you done prints of any of your other sculptural installations?
Jim Darling: No, I haven't. I'm really excited about it. When I was out there, Revok had just signed all of his prints from the piece (Sacrilege below) in the other church. I definitely like the way those came out.
1xRUN: How do you feel about people being able to take these images home with them?
Jim Darling: I'm really into it. I love that the pieces have a limited life and some are destroyed quickly while others do their best to stand up to different elements. When it is all said and done you only have digital pictures of it. I spend enough time on the computer day to day and invite any opportunity to look at work analog. Looking at the test prints for this piece was truly awesome because since the time we made this piece I've only seen the details while zooming into the digital image. It's great to have the room to look at all the stuff we gathered, all the details while keeping the whole picture. It makes me want to build more.
1xRUN: Your recent art pulls from similar aspects of assemblage of found objects as in Sunday Mass. How are these two mediums similar but different?
Revok: They are one in the same.
1xRUN: What do you have going on now besides agency stuff?
Jim Darling: Major changes… Tina and I just added our baby girl Faine to the family. We already have our long haired three year old son Micah and so now our family is complete. Day job stuff is in changing now as well… I am in a major transition period for the next few months… Re organizing the studio and getting ready for what comes next. In contrast to the change I am focusing on revisiting the "Windows" series. I usually don't revisit things I've already done as I like moving on, but they are something I can pick up and put down quickly. Most of my sculptural works have a longer process to them, which isn't easy on a newborn's schedule. Also, I have big plans of transitioning from the windows into another series that I am dying to work on.
1xRUN: Are the airplane window pieces for a specific show or just on your own?
Jim Darling: I'm doing a bunch as commissions, as well as some for CAVE Gallery here in Venice and for Scope in Miami. I'm also doing one for my parent's 40th wedding anniversary, which will be cool to hand them. I think I have about ten of them right now that I'm either finishing or starting up. I plan to do a lot until it's time to make a transition. They landed on a few mommy blogs a few years ago, and they keep being passed around. They have given me the most feedback and press out of any of my work thus far and so I'm excited about pushing them further.
1xRUN: Where else can people find you?

Anita Response: We are sorry to hear that this bra did not work for you. It's important to resize yourself every six months because our bodies are always changing. We suggest checking out HerRoom's Bra Fitting Center to find your perfect size in this bra.
sara from 48610
HerRoom Response: This is a high impact sports bra so to reduce bounce the band is meant to be tighter than usual. I would recommend going up a cup and a band to alleviate some of this discomfort.
Sheena from Highmore
HerRoom Response: The cups do run a little snug in this bra. I would recommend going up a cup and a band if it was too tight for you. This is a high impact sports bra so the band running tight is normal for control.

Prepare to get taken on a technical ride. The Panasonic Lumix GH4 is the first mirrorless camera to introduce 4K video capture among stacks of other high-spec features.
In addition to what Panasonic claims is its best Micro Four Thirds sensor yet for stills images, the GH4 puts on a good spread when it comes to video capture. For the digit-hungry among us you'll be pleased to hear there are no half measures: it's capable of capturing 4K at 30/25/24 frames per second at a 100Mbps data rate, while 1080p is catered for with 60/50/30/25/24fps at 200Mbps ALL-Intra compression. That's miles beyond broadcast quality.
If you're a broadcast head then your ears probably just pricked up. And things get even better if you're into the proper professional standard, as the DMW-YAGH accessory enables uncompressed 4K video output with full 10-bit colour, time code sync via five SDI ports. There's also two channel XLR audio and a DC in for power. Whew. We had a little play around with the unit, and go into more detail via the link below.
READ: Panasonic DMW-YAGH transforms GH4 into uncompressed-output 4K broadcast tool
It's hard to ignore all the powerful video capabilities, but Panasonic is keen to emphasise that the GH4 is a stills camera first and foremost. Short of snorting and saying "yeah, right," it does have a good list of specs to support its case.
There's a 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder, 1m-dot 3-inch, vari-angle OLED screen, the same weather-sealed body as the earlier GH3 model, plus a brand new autofocus system called Depth From Defocus (DFD) complete with new 49-point focus array.
That new 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor is paired with the fastest yet Venus Engine IX, enabling 12 frames per second burst shooting and up to 7.5fps with continuous autofocus to track those moving subjects.
New sensor, better images, better video capture, familiar design - the Lumix GH4 is sounding rather special. There's a lot more detail than this skim spec-based overlook touches upon. And that's why we've written a more in-depth preview based on our time with an early product sample that we were privy to get our hands on ahead of this announcement. Follow the link below to get the full details.
READ: Hands-on: Panasonic Lumix GH4 review
No final word on pricing or release date just yet. Given everything it can do, we wouldn't be surprised if the 14-140mm kit was set to break the £2,000 barrier. For now we'll have to wait and see. Our only question is whether the public demand for 4K capture is there yet and, therefore, if the camera has limited itself before it's even got off the ground by being ahead of the curve.

Police say unauthorised traveller encampments have fallen by more than a third so far this year.
Between January 1 and May 15 2019 there were 26 encampments in the county.
This is compared to 74 in the same period last year.
The figures did not take into account the month of June.
Essex Police says it is as the result of the introduction of its Gypsy, Traveller and Rural Engagement Team (GTRET) and the establishment of the Unauthorised Encampment Protocol in 2017.
Sergeant Paul Downes, who leads the Gypsy, Traveller and Rural Engagement Team, said:
"There are many members of the traveller community who visit our county and do not carry out any criminal activity or anti-social behaviour.
"Whenever there is an unauthorised encampment in Essex, my team visits the site to engage with members of the group and make sure they are ok, as well checking on the welfare of any animals and checking any vehicles present.
"The majority of our engagements with the traveller community are positive, but sometimes it leads us to identify vehicles which have been previously stolen or ones which aren't road worthy.
"In these cases we've confiscated those vehicles.
"We will be stepping up this activity during the course of the summer and people should be aware that Essex is not a place where you can come and commit crime.
"We are here to engage with rural communities and when illegal activity is happening we will take a robust approach."
Officers routinely check vehicles and seize those they find to be stolen.
This year the team has recovered 71 vehicles, a mixture of trailers, horse boxes, cars, chippers, tele handlers and caravans.
Some of these were due to violations of road traffic legislation, but most were stolen.
Roger Hirst, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, welcomed the reduction.
He said: "Our GTRET officers are having a significant impact on reducing criminal activity in rural areas, which is one of the key priorities in my Police and Crime Plan.
"It is a great result when we are able to return stolen vehicles to their rightful owners, but it is even better when we can stop these thefts in the first place.
"Ensuring a consistent, robust approach is taken to unlawful encampments and the theft of vehicles, especially from rural communities, is helping to drive down criminal activity across the county as people intent on committing crime are thinking twice before coming to Essex."
The downward trend in the number of unauthorised encampments in Essex started since 2017 when there were 339.
Last year this fell to 231.

High Content Imaging and Analysis
FIMM High Content Imaging and Analysis (FIMM-HCA) has been set up to advance high-content and high-throughput imaging and image analysis. This new facility is open access core unit, that started operation at the beginning of 2017, with harmonized operating principles, access and user policy within HELMI (Helsinki Advanced Light Microscopy Imaging Platform), together with BIU-LM and LMU-BI.
FIMM-HCA provides automated high-content screening microscopes (a spinning-disk confocal with live imaging option and a widefield) for imaging and guidance for image analysis and data management. We train all users to use the equipment and software available in the unit. FIMM-HCA is based on a scientific core competence of personnel in high-content imaging, image analysis and software development as well as cell-based screening. We work closely together with FIMM HTB unit in setting up the cell-based high-content assays with robotics. The staff also has a long-term experience in Pharma and industrial collaborations.
FIMM-HCA personnel are actively participating and gaining knowledge from the following networks:

The baby that I undoubtedly was sure was a he is in fact a SHE.
That's right. We are proud parents of girls.
Words can't begin to describe how natural it all feels, how beautiful every moment has been.
I just love the newborn daze. Where you walk around in a sleepless, yet completely and totally blissful state that feels like a dream where you have no idea what day it is. And it doesn't even matter. Because you are so painfully happy with your snuggly little newborn.
And what they say is true - your love doesn't divide, it multiplies.
And man, are we in love.
Miss Adaline Mae made her appearance on Thursday, October 23rd, 2014 at 6:09 a.m. weighing 8.4 pounds and measuring at 20 inches long.
And this is her story.
{It's a long one. With lots of details. Because those are what are so easy to forget, and I refuse to do so.}
It all started on Wednesday, the morning of Gabe's 30th birthday. I woke up extra early, cursing the fact that I had stayed up too late on my very pregnant feet prepping for a special birthday breakfast. It was worth it though. Because it was just an ordinary day for Gabe. One where he planned to go into work an hour late and come home in decent time so we could go on a birthday movie date. **Don't let anyone fool you. Things get crazy in your 30's. Especially if you go into labor.**
Lyla had been sick for a couple of weeks, and I was really starting to get restless in the evenings waiting on baby. So suffice it to say, I hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in awhile. I was tired and woke up not feeling my best.
We celebrated with swiss and mushroom quiche, pumpkin french toast bake, and pumpkin spice coffee. Then Gabe headed to work, and I went about my day as usual. Although I really wasn't feeling myself, was having quite a few intense Braxton Hicks contractions, and felt a tremendous amount of very uncomfortable pressure. At times, it felt like the baby was about to fall out at any moment. But Lyla and I still made it out for a long walk and a trip to the park for a picnic lunch and some time on the swing.
There were points throughout the day where I had the thought of how funny it would be if I went into labor on Gabe's {and Samson's} birthday. But, I'd had that same thought for the past two weeks and was losing sleep over the anticipation of going into labor. I was nearly two weeks early with Lyla and was just sure I'd be early with this one. But with each passing day, I got more and more disappointed. There was the time I "knew" it was happening that weekend because I had stomach bug symptoms. Same thing happened with Lyla the day I went into labor. But instead, it turned out to be the actual stomach bug. Then, {warning: TMI} I lost my mucus plug on Monday and was absolutely positive labor was imminent because when I lost it with Ly, I went into labor the next morning.
But no signs of labor on Tuesday. And today, Wednesday, I was having some of the same symptoms I'd had for weeks. Besides, I was starting to think this baby was planning to stay cozied up in my belly until Thanksgiving.
I rested a bit while Lyla napped and got ready for our big date night. Decided to snap a belly pic...little did I know this would be my very last. Three days before my due date.
Clueless that today was *finally* the day
My mom came over to watch Lyla while Gabe and I went to our first movie in over a year. I only wish I had felt better. Nevertheless, I was excited for an evening out with my love. I waddled into the Gone Girl theater, and Gabe ordered a beer for himself and a water for me.
Fifteen minutes into the movie, there it was. My first contraction. Now, up until this point, I was going crazy by questioning for the past few weeks, Was that a contraction? Like a real one? Will tonight be the night? How can I not remember when I've gone through this before? Turns out Braxton Hicks contractions can play mind tricks on you. Even when you've had them consistently since 20 weeks.
But the moment a "real one" hit, I instantly remembered. There was no question in my mind.
It's funny how you can go through one of the most can't-be-put-into-words painful experiences of your life and forget what it felt like. I guess that's why many have more than one kid.
Twenty minutes later, I had another. A bit more intense than the last. I began to get excited. Then terrified. Then hit complete denial. Ohmygoodness. Is this it? Could this really be the night? I might meet my baby soon! Well shoot. I'm not ready. I don't want to go through labor. Lord can I just skip that part? Nah. There's no way I'm in labor. It's Gabe's birthday.
But there it was again. My third contraction in 45 minutes. I began to time them by watching the conveniently lit clock in the movie theater while Gabe watched the movie completely oblivious.
Enjoying his beer and his 30th birthday.
Taken 15 minutes before I went into labor
Sure enough, my contractions were fairly consistent, averaging about every 20 minutes. One contraction stands out specifically as it ironically occured during a super intense scene. I thought I was going to fall out of my chair. After that one was over, I leaned over to Gabe and whispered that I was pretty sure I was in labor but definitely wanted to stay and finish the movie.
Once the movie was over, I was in denial. I didn't feel it was time to go to the hospital just yet as my contractions weren't - in my mind - completely consistent. So we decided to go home. And on the way home, I'll never forget the suggestion Gabe made, "Well, if you really are in labor, maybe we should go home and try to get some sleep. I mean, it could be morning before you have this baby. "
Ok. It was a good idea in theory. But "If I really was in labor", there definitely would be no sleeping because of: 1. Excitement and 2. A little thing called pain.
We got home to relieve my mom of her babysitting duties, and I filled her in by warning her I could possibly be in labor. She said she'd go home right away and change her clothes "just in case". My contractions were now 15 minutes apart. And believe it or not, I really did try to lay down and rest, but they were too strong and painful. So Gabe made a better suggestion than the previous - that we try to watch a movie. So we began watching Catching Fire. He paused every time I had a contraction and made a note in his phone. We didn't make it very far into our second movie of the night. I was consistently having contractions 8-10 minutes apart for about an hour.
Ok. Time to go to the hospital.
We left the moment my stepdad got to our house to stay with Lyla. Oh my goodness. This really is it! The moment I'd been waiting for for weeks, and it still didn't seem real.
The rest of the night, I had the same thought over and over again: This couldn't be any more different than the night I had Lyla. And as much as Lyla's labor and delivery was one of the most cathartic and beautiful experiences and proudest moments of my life, I kept thinking how happy I was that this one was different.
Like how I had 1 contraction in the car on the way to the hospital in contrast to the 7 I had with Lyla. {Simply because with Lyla, we stayed at home until the last possible minute, with the hope of having a more comfortable and successful natural childbirth}. Or how I only contracted several times in the hospital while waiting for my room {and could actually answer the admittance questions}, whereas I contracted nearly a dozen times and once on the public restroom floor with Lyla.
After checking in just before midnight, the nurse escorted me to my room. Sharing in the entire birth experience with me was Gabe, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Some may find that odd, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I had the very best team cheering me on.
Once we got to the room, contractions were still 8-10 minutes apart - painful but bearable. However the pressure and the labor shivers began immediately. {I would then have chattering shivers for the rest of the entire night}. But oh my goodness the pressure - I'm not sure I could ever forget that feeling. I used the restroom once, and vowed to not do it again because I was sure the baby was going to come straight out.
I got checked and was dilated to 5 cm and 90% effaced. However, the resident wouldn't admit me at least for another hour as they wanted to see if I was progressing. Annoyed, I leaned over to Gabe and said "If this isn't real labor, then I'm just not doing it." Which I'm pretty sure were the exact words I used when I was in labor with Lyla.
After an hour, I was positive I had progressed as I had some powerful gut-wrenching contractions. But what do you know. I sure didn't progress. I was still a 5. However, I was 100% effaced. So they went ahead and admitted me, to which I responded, "Ok, so when can I have the drugs?"
UGH. I had to wait to switch rooms, be completely admitted, and for insertion of the IV lock. As nervous as I was, I was ready for the juice. We hadn't prepared for a natural childbirth like we did with Lyla. All I cared about in this exact moment was for the misery to go away.
At this point, it still hadn't hit me that we were going to meet our baby tonight. I was just focusing on getting through the contractions and not pushing out the baby...yet. I knew the moment a contraction was beginning, starting low and dull and not wasting anytime before exploding into intense gut-gripping torture that literally took my breath away as it wrapped all the way around my torso to my back. The nurse gave me an exercise ball to counteract the pressure. This felt like a little slice of heaven the moment I sat down. That is, until the pressure intensified and I wanted nothing more than to just PUSH. {If you weren't catching on, theme of the night: lots of pressure.}
So happy to feel relief. Even for just a few moments.
All I really remember during this period of labor was the waiting. And the fact that Gabe was the best support system ever - just like the first time around.
Once we got to my new room, I had progressed to a whopping 6cm. And then more waiting. I finally heard the nurse call anesthesia and ask for someone immediately. I started to tremble as she explained to them that my blood pressure was incredibly low (nothing new there) and that my doctor suggested I get extra IV fluids and receive the epidural while laying down as I have a history of passing out. Well, we got off to a rocky start as the nurse couldn't even get in the IV lock because my veins were "way too small". Poor Gabe, this was the only time he left my side so that he could gather composure and do his best not to pass out himself while the nurse dug at my arm desperate to find a vein while I kept screaming "OW. Stop!!!". This was just as painful as the contractions I was trying to breathe through, and I was yelling at Gabe to come back so I could squeeze his hand. But I knew the moment he turned around that he wasn't feeling well - his face was the color of pea soup.
At this point, the resident checked me and I was still 6 cm. I'd only progressed 1 cm in the span of 2 hours. Not the most encouraging. But I was so relieved once anesthesia walked in. It was a young, and quite adorable gal named Kate. This somehow made me feel some relief. I told Kate I was very nervous as I'd never done this before, and she was so patient as she guided me through the whole process.
It took a bit longer than I expected for the juice to kick in, nearly 40 minutes. I contracted 5 or 6 times, a few very long and intense contractions, while waiting. But finally, I began to feel some relief, AND I could still move my legs. I had no idea that was possible! And once I no longer felt the contractions, I teared up and was overcome with emotion. NOW, I was able to focus on the fact that it was almost time to meet my baby. And I'm pretty sure I told everyone who came into my room how amazing epidurals are and asked if I could have one everyday. I couldn't believe that I was able to relax, breathe, chat with Gabe and our moms, and even laugh.
The resident came in and checked me again. Still a 6. I nearly cried. So, they decided to break my water in hopes that I would begin progressing a bit more quickly.
Then, this is where things get a bit foggy. I remember my nurse and the resident storming in. The nurse put oxygen on me, when suddenly 6 or 7 other hospital staff members, including the anesthesiologist, came barging in. Our moms got up out of their chairs. Gabe sat there patiently rubbing my hand. I just remember everyone staring at the baby's heart rate monitor. I began to cry. I begged for someone to tell me what was going on. No one said a thing. So, I asked again. Finally, someone told me (I have no idea who) my blood pressure dropped quite a bit as did baby's heart rate. They began putting me in different positions. When finally, the baby's heart went back up to a normal rate.
Talk about a scare. All I could picture was them unhooking all my monitors and rolling me out into the OR for an emergency C-Section.
Instead, the resident checked me and I was a 7. I was actually progressing. Woo-hoo!
Because I was no longer in pain and the feeling of pressure had subsided *woo-hoo* we all decided to rest as we really had no idea how much longer it would be. Gabe turned on Law and Order SVU and our moms tried to take cat naps on the incredibly uncomfortable couches. I remember lying there thinking "I can't believe I'm actually relaxing during labor. And that this is actually somewhat enjoyable."
At 5 something, the nurse came in, checked me, and exclaimed that I was AC ("Almost Complete") just like I was with Lyla. I was dilated to 9.5 cm! I couldn't believe it, we were going to meet our baby soon...and even better, we were going to find out the sex!
When out of nowhere, down went my blood pressure again. And down went the baby's heart rate. This time, we didn't have the entire crew come in as baby's heart went up to normal much quicker. But still scary nonetheless. At this point, the intensity of the pressure was so great, I told the nurse that I wasn't sure how much longer I could wait to push. So she checked me, and things were sort of a blur, but I vividly remember her nonchalantly saying that I had reached 10 cm - fully complete!
I got so excited I couldn't see straight.
...Until she told me we had to wait on the doctor.
I'm sorry. What?
So for 30 *miserable* minutes, I willed my body not to push as badly as it wanted to. And I waited. Some moments felt like the baby was going to come out on it's own - push or not. When the nurse checked me again and said she could see the babe's head.
Ah. So that's why I felt the sensation to push.
She got back on the phone with doctor who told her to have me begin pushing. So, I pushed through one contraction and the nurse abruptly said, "Ok. We're not going to push anymore. We're just going to wait on doctor." You know, because baby was ready to come out at that moment.
But alas. My doctor finally arrived around 6 am and immediately began coaching me on what to do. She let me know every time I had a contraction, and I pushed with every bit of strength I had. I no longer had patience. I just wanted to meet my new baby. As fuzzy and blurry as those intense moments are, I remember the cheering and the "you're doing so good, keep it up". I remember hearing the mom's cry and yell out, "Aww. There's the head!" I remember reaching down and feeling the warm head of hair on my baby who was almost, but not quite here. And I remember internally reciting "I CAN do all things through Him who gives me strength" with every single push. I was so ready to get that warm dewey newborn on my chest.
After 10 minutes and 3 sets of 3 pushes, there it was. That beautiful, long-awaited and coveted cry. The moment I heard it, I began sobbing uncontrollably. My baby was here! I looked over at Gabe who was beaming. And after a few moments, he casually said, "I won".
I had completely forgotten about the sex. I was just so happy to hear my baby crying. "REALLY? It's a GIRL?"
I couldn't believe I was so wrong. Our gift was a GIRL!A beautiful, healthy, girl. And a SISTER for Lyla.
I sobbed even harder.
And they placed this new life on my chest while I continued to cry and cry. "Thank you Jesus," I said over and over. I felt so much love for this stranger - our newest family member, and I felt even more love for my husband. Together, we brought this miracle into the world.
I was on my usual after-labor happy high for the next few hours. The hours when nothing else in the world mattered except sitting in my bed, skin-to-skin with my new daughter. Dreaming of the girly fun we'll have.
Ah. Those magical hours of bonding. It's just you, your partner, and the new life you brought into the world together. Nothing comes close to comparing. Absolutely nothing.
And then we spent the next 12 hours very much awake with our new baby. There was no chance of sleeping as we wanted to spend time with our new little friend. So many cuddles, smiles, and lots of happy tears. Plus, we couldn't hardly wait to share the news and show her off.
I was so happy, I couldn't see straight.

Thinking of joining us for 6th Form?
John Mason School is part of the Abingdon Consortium for Education (ACfE)
Being part of a consortium enables students choose from a wide and varied range of A level courses spread across the three schools within Abingdon.
The three schools are within 1.5 miles (by road) of each other –20-25 minute walking. Together we offer over 30 subjects and they are taught by experienced staff with an excellent record in A-level success.
In early November students are encouraged to attend the 'Beyond GCSE Evening' with parents where they can attend a presentation from the Head Teacher, talk to the Headteachers and the Heads of Sixth form of all 3 schools and teachers about what the A level course involves and pick up a Prospectus and 6th Form application form. This is run as a joint event and is in a different school each year. At this event there are also representatives from local Colleges and Careers advisors so that you can discuss alternative Higher education pathways.
Following this evening students are encouraged to speak with their subject teachers to determine whether they are suitable candidates for the subjects they want to do.
The year 11 students are invited to 'Meet the 6th form' in early February giving them the opportunity to talk to current year 12 and 13 students about the expectations and commitment that is expected in the 6th form and the difference between studying for GCSEs and A Levels.
In February and March applicants from John Mason School will be interviewed by the head of 6th Form; this is also a great opportunity to discuss any future plans the student may have and make sure that the A levels they are considering will enable them to progress on their chosen path.
Applicants from outside of John Mason will be invited to come to the school to discuss their application and they will be offered a tour of the school and 6th form facilities.
Following successful interviews students will be sent a letter offering them a conditional place and outlining any further activities that they will be encouraged to take part in prior to starting 6th form.
In late June/early July a week of taster sessions will be organised across the consortium for the future year 12 students. This is an opportunity for the students to visit the other school sites and they will have a lesson in a subject at the school where it will be taught. In these sessions they will get a feel for the difference in teaching style between lower school and the 6th form and they will be set some work to do over the summer holidays which will be collected in at the beginning of term. These sessions will be complemented with a 'Year 11 information Evening' to which the year 11 Parents will be invited.
Once you have received your exam results in late August you will be invited to a 'Welcome to the 6th form' interview. At this meeting your GCSE results will be confirmed and final choice of subjects will be decided and matched up with your potential destination (if known). 6th form starts at the beginning of September with a day of induction and team building, timetables are finalised and then courses begin.

Hottest 100 and the Illusion of Choice
Guardianship of AFFINITY's 'cool' vibe invariably falls to a few of us millennials. And we've been blasting Triple J so hard that the Gen Xers are falling in love with the station, some of them all over again.
With this year's Triple J's Hottest 100 Countdown attracting a record breaking 2,386,133 public votes, we decided to take a look at the UX and data behind the nation's most eagerly anticipated countdown.
"Track Me Baby – One More Time"
The Triple J website contains a number of tools that encourage you to interact with Hottest 100 content, including sharability, commenting, liking, or simply hosting a party. But as trending songs are shared and content is optimised, the user experience changes. As hype pushes top trending content up the ranks, the viewers are almost forced to understand and act on the content for which they are served – a simple cognitive bias.
Websites like Bean Counter and Warmest 100 have been applying algorithms and data experiments in an effort to predict the Hottest 100 for years. And simply scanning Twitter posts or Hashtags for trending songs landed a successful forecast of 92 of the Top 100 songs in 2013.
Let's Play Victim
Didn't feel mesmerised by more than eight songs in 2017? Triple J were there to help a sister out with the last two votes. Adopting Google SEO, the station offered guidance for nominating tracks, by recommending listeners select the last song from their 'Favourite Artists Top 10' or 'Feature Albums from 2017'.
Google proves that Triple J recommend you seeking guidance from Feature Albums
A little biased perhaps? Not only does this method of voting provide an upper hand to those that are advertised or endorsed by the station, it ironically goes against the spirit of Triple J's own stand against campaigns to push one song to the top of the charts. #Tay4Hottest100
Winston Surfshirt – a regular feature in the AFFINITY office, votes for their Top 10.
Picking up on this form of voting bias was LaTrobe University, who applied econometric modelling to the Hottest 100. The study identified advantageous factors that influence the listener both consciously and unconsciously, including artist tours, the alphabetical ordering of songs and timing of release.
Conducting my own personal cross-variation test, I set out to see if my tracks were chosen freely or were unduly manipulated by other forces (a task that you can also do yourself). Interestingly, results proved that 40% of my votes were due to the nostalgia and fuzzy festival vibes that give live music and artist tours the benefit in the voting process.
It's true! Recent live gigs, such as the yearly Byron Bay Falls Festival and weekly gigs at Unibar had enhanced my attraction to the artists and the music I was listening to.
My Top 10
- Jungle Giants, The – Feel The Way I Do
- Cloud Control – Treetops
- Touch Sensitive – Lay Down
- Vince Staples – Big Fish
- Drake – Passionfruit
- CamelPhat & Elderbrook – Cola
- Kendrick Lamar – HUMBLE.
- Killers, The – The Man
- Winston Surfshirt – Be About You
So, although we're always conscious of user bias and not leaving things to chance, something as personal as music taste is difficult to predict. Whether it's tracking hashtags or the influence of artist tours, algorithms won't be able to predict outcomes to 100% accuracy, they're much more on the money than your guess or mine!
But we can still guess.
It's all part of the fun.

Many people talk about ISIS, but do they really know who they are?
What is ISIS?
ISIS, or ISIL, is an aggressive group of people who got their start in 2004 as al Qaeda in Iraq before starting the group "ISIS" two years later. This Islamic group is based from northern Syria to central Iraq, and ISIS has proven themselves to be far more brutal and effective than al Qaeda when controlling the territories it has conquered.
On Wednesday, February 4th, President Obama asked Congress for permission to use military forces against ISIS. This is the first time in 13 years that a President has asked Congress for approval. CNN reports that this proposal would give the military the "flexibility" to confront "unexpected circumstances" by using deployed special forces in the Middle East.
The lawmakers on Capital Hill received a draft for AUMF, Authorization for Use of Military Forces, that would formally approve an already six-month-old U.S. military effort against ISIS.
In a letter to Congress, Obama explained that the AUMF does not call for the deployment of ground troops in Iraq or Syria. "I am convinced that the U.S. should not get into another ground war in the Middle East — it's not in our national security interest and not necessary for us to defeat ISIS," Obama said.
This joint resolution would limit the President's power to start a military campaign against ISIS for up to three years and according to the resolution, it does not authorize "enduring offensive ground combat operations." The document also mentions ISIS as a "grave threat" to the U.S. national security interests and the stability of the region.
Capital Hill
Republican leaders on Capital Hill were quick to reject the authorization draft from the White House, because it was too limited and insisted that the President should have fewer limitations. "If we are going to defeat this enemy, we need a comprehensive military strategy and a robust authorization, not one that limits our options," says House Speaker John Boehner in a statement. "Any authorization for the use of military must give our military commanders the flexibility and authorities they need to succeed and protect our people . . . I have concerns that the president's request does not meet this standard."
Now that you know all of this information, you will understand more about the background of ISIS.

Horsemen a derivative dark thriller reminiscent of Seven, The Cell and Japanese teen ennui and rebellion films such as Suicide Circle. Dennis Quaid plays a Detroit Homicide profiler so dedicated to his job that it veers toward child abuse; his son Alex, played by Lou Taylor Pucci, raises his younger brother and is used to Dad bailing out after a cell phone call and dropping a $20 for cab fare, whether they're in church or about to go to a Red Wings game. We're introduced to him when a hunter finds a banquet of freshly yanked human teeth on a silver platter in the middle of an iced over lake in the woods. A bizarre image for sure, but what does it mean?
The film is only 90 minutes long and is the worse for whatever cuts were made, because it seems like the murders occur so swiftly. The next victim is a housewife, a mother of three children, one adopted, who is found suspended by fish hooks in her bedroom. A custom rack holds her up, much like Vincent D'Onofrio's insane killer in The Cell, and she was stabbed perfectly between the aorta and lungs so she'll drown in her own blood over a period of hours. Looking back on this, the script by Doom penner David Callaham- CallaHAM!! When yer last name's Pluck, you cherish these moments of schadenfreude– is pretty convoluted and contrived. The room the body is found in has the words "Come and See" painted on the walls, and this leads super-sleuth Quaid to the Biblical book of Revelations, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Visually the film is intriguing and director Jonas Åkerlund, who'd previous done Spun, manages to keep us watching even as the plot holes widen into chasms. The performances are mostly quite good- Quaid is against character and adopts a scowl that hints at the inner pain that would make him so driven as to leave his dying wife's bedside for the job. As his son, Lou Taylor Pucci perfectly captures the "here we go again" attitude of the neglected child, as he raises his younger brother in the face of the invisible Dad. Zhang Ziyi, as the adopted daughter of the first victim, chews the scenery so thoroughly I was reminded of the cartoonish bad girl from The Crow (full review).
Horsemen has nice visuals and the interplay between Quaid and his son Pucci is interesting enough, but the story is one we've seen done better before, and has holes that the Ice Truckers could navigate through with their eyes sewn shut. At 90 minutes it seems like whole swaths of interconnections were cut for time or should have been written in the first place, and the ending is so preposterous that you'll know that whoever wrote it not only watched The Cell, but never asked how D'Onofrio managed to hook himself in that bizarre suspension rig he used. It's an unfortunate film for all the actors involved, who deserve better. (Note: Lou Taylor Pucci is my cousin, but as you can hopefully tell from this review, when he's in a stinker like this or 50 Pills I won't sugarcoat the review).

Race with the Devil has Warren Oates and Peter Fonda as motorbikers on vacation in a big honkin' RV, chased by Satanists after they see them sacrifice a nude girl in an arcane desert ritual? Sounds like a recipe for hot buttered awesome! and it is!
Directed by Jack Starrett- the incoherent master of Authentic Frontier Gibberish from Blazing Saddles, and the director of exploitation classics Cleopatra Jones and The Losers– the movie rides on the fearsome energy emitted by the incomparable Mr. Oates. He and Fonda are dirt bike racers who decide to take an RV trip to the Rockies for some skiing, with wives Lara Parker and Loretta "Hot Lips" Swit in tow. When they park the Winnebago in a remote stretch of wasteland and go to explore the lonely desert, they realize they are not alone. They witness what they first believe is a bunch of hippies cavorting naked around a bonfire, but soon realize it is something far more dark. A hooded man plunges a knife into a woman's chest, and as the men stare blankly through the binoculars at what just happened, their wives saunter up and the Satanists notice. Oops.
They give chase, but after a harrowing run back to the mobile home they manage to hightail it out of there, with cultists banging on the windows as they careem through a gulch on the way back to the interstate. But their hell ride is far from over. They pull into the nearest town to notify the Sheriff, and he leads them back to the location with an eerie sense of ease. When they find blood, he says it could be an animal's. So Peter Fonda sneaks some into a jar to be tested at a lab. But back in town, their wives feel like they are being watched, even when in public. The townsfolk seem to be giving them the evil eye. And it turns out to be true, for when they return to the RV, Loretta's pooch has been killed and hanged from the door.
And worse, once they're on the highway they find some new pets in the trailer, rattlesnakes! After nearly crashing and killing everyone, Warren Oates decides to fight back. Fonda is eclipsed by his fury, and plays the quiet husband who can barely believe what's going on. They buy a 12 gauge at the general store, but the game is on, and the highway out of town is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. And about a billion Satanists in pickup trucks with molotov cocktails! The long chases in the RV as trucks full of cultists hop on and try to set it on fire definitely influenced The Road Warrior a few years later, and are pretty exciting. The film has a dark ending, but it comes so abruptly that you wonder if they ran out of money. After Rosemary's Baby, the Devil winning seems a bit like a cop-out, but it's a lot of fun while it lasts.

Development Services
The Development Services Group, formerly Site Development and Review under the Public Works Department, is a new addition to the Department of Community Development. This shift is a major step in the City's ongoing efforts to streamline and simplify the development and approval process. Development Services coordinates the plan review and approval process for all land development activities in the City other than single family and duplex construction on existing platted lots. While issuing development permits for land development projects is a large component of Development Services, we also provide review and approval of subdivision plats and modifications to landscape plans. During construction, Development Services inspectors provide the required inspections to assure compliance with the approved plans and assist with bringing the project to a smooth completion.
Development Services is in the process of implementing electronic submittal capability for all permit and plan reviews processed by the division. The Site Development Plan (SDP) approval process, currently known as Site Plan Approval process, is the first review to be implemented in the eTRAKiT system. The electronic SDP application submittal process is currently being tested by select consultants and will soon be available to all consultants. Additional reviews and permits will be added as the transition moves forward.
Simultaneously with the introduction of electronic permitting, the Land Use and Development Regulations for the City of Cape Coral are currently undergoing review and revision. With those two events in mind all of the forms and processes utilized by Development Services have been reviewed and updated. The forms are more user friendly, available online, and provide better access to information required for each process or permit. While the forms can be filled out electronically, for the time being they require original signatures and notarization. To be consistent with proposed LUDR changes some of the terminology has been revised in anticipation of adoption by City Council. All terminology changes are being proposed to reduce confusion between permitting processes and increase consistency with the upcoming LUDR revisions. Notable proposed changes contained in the revised forms are:
Site Plan vs. Site Development Plan. Site plan is currently both a process for site development approval and a required drawing sheet for a commercial building permit. The process in LUDR Section 4.4 will be renamed "Site Development Plan approval and permitting process" or "Site Development Plan approval process."
Permit; Building Permit; Development Permit; Site Permit; and Site Plan Permit are all terms utilized within the LUDR and/or the City's current permitting and approval process. All permits related to land development activities will be referred to as Site Development Permits.
Prior to embarking on a full fledged engineering design, landscaping, and planning effort for a project, developers may request an Advisory Meeting with City staff. Advisory meetings are optional for Site Development Projects (SDP) but are required for those projects that must be approved through the Planned Development Project (PDP) process. Refer to the Advisory Meeting tab for more information and to view the available schedule.
Site Development Plan Information and Applications:
Projects which are not required to go through the PDP process move directly to the SDP approval process. SDP applications are processed by Development Services to ensure compliance with the City of Cape Coral Engineering Design Standards (EDS) and the Land Use and Development Regulations (LUDR). Once the plans are approved, Development Services issues a development permit and coordinates the required construction inspections to ensure conformance with the approved plans. Please refer the Site Development Plan tab for more information and applications. Refer to the Planning Division home page for information regarding PDP procedures.
Subdivision Plat Information and Application:
All new subdivisions are reviewed and approved through the PDP process. The PDP approves the subdivision plan which becomes the basis for the subsequent SDP and final plat. Once subdivision plan approval is obtained through the PDP, subsequent submittals of SDP's and Plats for all subdivisions are processed through Development Services. The plat review process is administrative and the City's final acceptance of the plat for recording requires the Mayors signature. The plat is brought before City Council as an item on the consent agenda at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting. Please refer to the Subdivision Plat tab for additional details and application forms.
Electronic Submittal Information:
Development Services is currently working with the ITS department to implement electronic plan and permit submittal procedures. In-house testing of electronic submittals for SDP's and Advisory meetings have been completed. Select consultants are currently utilizing the eTRAKiT system as the final stage of testing before full implementation. Electronic submittal through our eTRAKiT system will soon be open to all consultants. Refer to the Electronic Submittal tab for additional information.
Project Completion and Acceptance:
All projects are required to submit an Engineer's Certification Letter stating the constructed project was built in accordance with the approved plans along with record drawings to document the locations and elevations of key features. Those projects, which include construction of facilities to be turned over to the City for ownership and maintenance, must also provide additional documentation to support the acceptance of those facilities by the City. Please refer to the Project Completion and Acceptance tab for additional information regarding the closeout of a project and development permit.
Landscape Plan Approval Information:
Landscape plan review is a service that is provided through the Development Services Division. A typical SDP approval process requires an applicant to submit a landscape plan within their plan set for project approval. Staff also provides review and approval of modifications to approved landscape plans for commercial sites through the SDP limited review process. Please refer to the Landscape Plan Approval tab for additional details and application forms.
In addition to SDP review, Development Services also issues permits for various other land development related activities such as:
- Full Demo (Residential and Commercial);
- Partial Demo (the Building Division will process the Demo for reconstruction if leaving at least one wall in place);
- Parking Lot (reseal and restripe);
- Land Clearing;
- Fill;
- Underground Fire Line Permits;
- Spot Dredge (primarily canals at individual home sites); and
- Residential drainage culvert relocation permit.
Working closely with the Utilities Department and Customer Billing Services (CBS), Development Services also provides permit coordination for the issuance of:
- Domestic Backflow Modification Permits
Refer to the Other Development Permits tab for additional information and applications.

The Pokemon Moon RPG Walkthrough :
This walkthrough for The Pokemon Moon RPG [PC] has been posted at 25 Jun 2009 by SecretSinnoh and is called "Getting Started". The Walkthrough has been commented 7 times. If walkthrough is usable don't forgot thumbs up SecretSinnoh and share this with your freinds. And most important we have 2 other walkthroughs for The Pokemon Moon RPG, read them all!
Walkthrough - Walkthrough - Getting Started
Hello, I'm SecretSinnoh, a long time member of The Pokemon Moon RPG. I just thought that I'd make a Walkthrough for all the new Members who needed help with a few things. ---Please note that this is for Version 1.1 of TPM. .Table of Contents. 1. Getting Pokemon 2. Battling 3. Making DCs (Diamond Credits; Money) 4. PMs (Private Messages) 5. The cBox 6. News Comments 7. Friends/Blocked Users 8. Trading 9. Buying 10. Selling [1.] Getting Pokemon When you first join, you'll login with your username and password for the first time, or it will redirect you. I can't remember which. But so you're not left stranded with nothing, the RPG will gift you with your first Pokemon; a starter. This will be the Pokemon were going to use to help you get started with battling later on. Now, there are numerous ways to get a Pokemon. These are buying, Legendary areas, Daily Prizes, Promotional Pokemon, and trading. You could just buy your own Pokemon, but the cheapest (since user are outrageous) would be about 200000-300000 Diamond Credits, so lets try something else. You could go to the Legendary Area Lugias Cave and try your luck at getting a Lugia, but the chances are 1 out of 1,000. But you can also find DNAs in there, too. Every time you get five normal DNAs of any one Pokemon, you can get one. You need two Shiny DNAs of one Pokemon to get that, and one DNA of any Emerald or Crystal Pokemon to get that. Or, if you dont want to spend ten minutes looking for DNAs, you could go to the Daily Prizes. But note that Daily Prizes arent necessarily guaranteed to give you Pokemon. They might just get you Diamond Credits instead. But thank goodness there are promotional Pokemon. Promotional Pokemon (commonly known as promos) are free Pokemon, usually every week. But Cless/Klade (the creator) keeps putting them up basically EVERY DAY. Lastly, you can get some Pokemon by trading. I wouldnt recommend trading away your starter, or trading when youre a beginner at all, because you might not know whats worth what. And let me tell you, some people get REALLY angry when someone offers what they call a noob offer on their very rare Pokemon. [2.] Battling Now that you have some Pokemon, we should move on to the most important function on the whole website: battling. If you want, you can go to the Pokemon Rankings, where they, well, rank the best of the bests Pokemon, and try finding a Pokemon that best fits your Pokemon to battle using the search filter. Or, if you dont feel like doing all of that, you could go to your Profile (located on the right side of the screen) and battle your self. I think its really convenient. When battling, you should press F11 to make the screen higher so you dont have to use much scrolling. First, you can use an item, or fight. You might not have any items unless youve been to Lugias cave or any other place, so that might not matter. Choose and attack, and keep attacking until your enemy is completely defeated. Youll gain experience, and when theres enough, youll level up. Also, Cless put a cap on leveling so that you may only level up three levels at a time, so it wont be too easy. You might have noticed that your enemy is considerably weaker than you (if you and it are the same level), no Class put a cap on that too, which makes it even easier. After youre done with the battle, you gain DCs and have three options: Heal and re-battle Pokemon Heal and re-battle team Pokemon Center If you got seriously mashed, you should go to the Pokemon center for free, or use your money and heal there so you dont have to make the trip. [3.] Making DCs (Diamond Credits; Money) In case you werent grasping what DCs were in my previous explanations, DCs are the currency of TPM. Theyre rally easy to gain, so dont worry. There are a few ways: Selling, Quick Selling, Battling, and Legendary Caves. One way is selling. If you have some Pokemon to spare, you can sell them. Some Pokemon arent worth too much, so dont go outrageous with the price. Also, you can Quick sell. Quick selling gets you a fixed amount of money based on level, but you could get a little more by just selling it manually. The most common way to make DCs is to battling. All you have to do is defeat a Pokemon/team in battle, and you get money. Simple, right The last way is to travel through Lugias cave. All you have to do is search in there, and youll randomly find DCs. [4.] PMs (Private Messages) Private Messages are an ideal way to send a message to someone without everyone else sticking their nosy selves in the business. Its located on the right-hand side of the screen. And just know what some people dont like to be randomly mailed, so be careful. You should be able to figure out how to use it right [5.] The cBox. This is the worst part. The cBox is a little compartment on the left side of the screen that allows you make a little name and talk to people. Just click profile on the cBox and make a name. If its taken choose something else. Then after youve logged into the cBox, you can start blabbing to people about small talk they wont remember when they wake up. Go to the rules section and READ THE CBOX RULES BEFORE POSTING. Half the people on the cBox DONT read the rules and get banned. People with Green names are regular users, and people with red names are cBox moderators, so ask a moderator if you need some help with a user on the cbox or something. [6.] News Comments Occasionally, Class posts a news comment about something hes done. You can comments on this, if you want. Also, a lot of people go there to chat since there arent any forums and the cBox is usually going too fast for anyone to read. READ THE RULES before posting on the News Comments! [7.] Sometimes, there are people we like, or dont like. Go to the right-hand side and look under Friend/Block Users to block people, or befriend people. To befriend or block, go to the person you want to add to your friend list or block, and click either option above their avatar. [8.] Trading Sometimes, there are Pokemon you dont have, and you want them, right So you trade! Look Under Trading Section and click Create a trade if want to send one, or Pending trades if you want to check trades people have sent to you. Be sure to check the Amount Viewer (under Accounts and Pokemon) to see how many there are; the less there are, the rarer it is. [9.] Buying If go to the buying section under Money Handling youll find something that says Buy Pokemon. Click it. It will take you to a page where tons of Pokemon are up for sale. If youre looking for something specific, use the search filter. Its recommended that you have ATEAST 10,000,000 DCs before going there; the prices are huge. [10.] Selling To sell Pokemon, go to money handling again and click Sell Pokemon if you want to do the Selling yourself to other Players, or Quick Sell if youd like to get rid for it for a few DCs (based on level). Choose which Pokemon youd like to be sold, set a price, and make it private or not. Private allows you to sell it to whichever user youd like; you get to choose. I hope this explanation of TPM has eased some problems. Feel free to PM SecretSinnoh on TPM or contact me at email@example.com

Spike took our advice and addressed global warming in the HBO documentary. He also included wetlands and barrier island restoration issues. He did not cover our recommendation to drain Lake Pontchartrain during hurricane season. When we spoke to Spike about the documentary he wanted to use former Vice President Al Gore to comment on global warming if he decided to include the issue. Maybe Gore was busy getting ready to promote his book and movie about global warming.
One commenter actually said the oil companies were "broke" because of Katrina. What rock has he been hiding under? Oil companies made record profits this year. Two or three commenters stated that Louisiana does not receive royalty funds from offshore oil operations. Another commenter said Louisiana would be Saudi Arabia if it seceded from the union. We have some more precise information if you are interested.
A U.S. District Judge turned down Gov Kathleen Blanco's request to block the sale of federal natural gas and oil leases in the western Gulf of Mexico but agreed with Blanco that the federal Minerals Management Service (MMS) did not conduct an adequate environmental impact statement regarding offshore drilling and hurricane damage to Louisiana's coast. Blanco was trying to force the government to give Louisiana a bigger share of the royalties from offshore oil and gas drilling. Louisiana now receives less than 2 percent of royalties from oil and natural gas produced in the Gulf. Royalties are payments to the Interior Department's MMS based on the value at the lease of any natural gas and oil actually produced. (Royalties)
While Blanco was politicking and litigating, the Senate and House passed bills that would give Louisiana and other Gulf states more - 37.5 percent under the Senate bill, 50 to 75 percent under the House bill. The differences will be reconciled in a House/Senate conference committee in September. Ironically, although higher royalty rates for Louisiana would help in rebuilding New Orleans, the Congressional Black Caucus voted against the lesislation.
