A products liability lawsuit filed against Mentor Worldwide, LLC, a manufacturer of saline breast implants, was disposed of on summary judgment in favor of the manufacturer in light of federal law preemption, insufficient causation pleadings, and non-compliance with the warranty procedures, a federal district court in California ruled (Laux v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, November 8, 2017, Wright, O.).
Background. An individual had Mentor Worldwide-manufactured saline filled inflatable breast implants implanted in 2005. She alleged that she experienced several physical ailments thereafter, and in 2014, debris and bio-toxins from mold inside the implants were discovered. She underwent a surgical procedure to remove them and the surgeon determined that the implants were leaking. Another doctor examined the implants, concluding that the valves were defective and that the leaks from these valves caused the individual's debilitating bio-toxin disease, auto-immune disorders, respiratory disease, and fibromyalgia. The individual filed a products liability, negligence, and breach of warranty lawsuit against Mentor Worldwide. However, the opinions of her experts were excluded by the court in a prior ruling, and the manufacturer filed the present motion for summary judgment.
Federal preemption. The individual's state law-based products liability claims were expressly preempted by the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 to the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDC Act). First, the court concluded that specific federal requirements applied to the breast implants in this case because FDA-issued premarket approval of the implants imposed requirements under the Medical Device Amendments of 1976. Second, the manufacturing defect claim was not based on any state law requirement distinct from the federal requirements. The court found that the individual failed to state a parallel claim capable of surviving preemption because the individual's references to the federal Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) to support her position were vague and unspecified. Case precedent held that the CGMP guidelines do not create federal requirements and cannot support a claim of a federal requirement violation.
Causation. In light of the prior ruling excluding the individual's expert opinions, which was the only evidence proffered to establish causation, the court concluded that she failed to satisfy that necessary element of her negligence claim against the manufacturer.
Express warranty. Finally, the individual's breach of express warranty claim failed because she did not comply with the warranty conditions. Specifically, the individual's physician failed to contact the manufacturer to confirm that there was a covered event, the individual did not provide the serial numbers of the implants or sign a release, and the physician did not send the implants to the manufacturer's product evaluation department pursuant to the warranty requirements. Further, there was no evidence that the manufacturer failed to repair, replace, or otherwise conform to the terms of the warranty. Therefore, the manufacturer's motion for summary judgment was granted.
The case is No. 2:16-cv-01026-ODW (AGR).
Attorneys: Anita Laux, pro se. Mollie Fleming Benedict (Tucker Ellis LLP) for Mentor Worldwide LLC.

Flyers general manager Ron Hextall was as patient as possible.
He didn't choose any of his promising, young defensive prospects for the final roster. He didn't recall any of them when Braydon Coburn went down, instead rolling with six defensemen.
When Andrew MacDonald went down, and is expected to miss the next month, with a foot injury, Hextall simply couldn't wait any longer.
Shayne Gostisbehere, the Flyers' most NHL-ready defensive prospect, has been recalled and will make his NHL debut against the Detroit Red Wings Saturday night.
"In a perfect world, you let a kid stay there and play," Hextall said, "but we don't live in a perfect world so one of them has to come up."
Gostisbehere was a healthy scratch with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms Friday before what would have been his fourth game of the season. Instead, he packed his bags and drove to Philly. In his first three, which came last weekend, he had a pair of assists. It's not a big sample size for the Flyers to have evaluated whom they wanted to bring up.
"He's played (three) games," Hextall said. "That's the unfortunate thing. I wish our (minor-league) guys have played more games, but typically that's the American League at the start of the year. So I haven't seen much of him. I saw him in preseason and then I watched the opening night."
Gostisbehere, the team's 2012 third-round pick, is generously listed at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds. His being undersized for an NHL defenseman was Hextall's biggest fear in putting him in the starting lineup to begin the season, even though he had two goals and an assist in three preseason games with the Flyers.
Now, with two minutes-eating defensemen on the shelf for a month, the wait is over to see the Hobey Baker Finalist who won a national championship in Philadelphia last spring with Union College. Already, the Flyers have had to dip into their reserves.
"Last year we signed an extra defenseman just in case we had guys hurt, and we didn't have anybody hurt and carried eight defensemen all year," said Hextall, referencing Hal Gill, who played only six games last year. "Now we don't and this happens. But, hey, you know what? Things happen. We're going to deal with it as a group and we'll do as good a job as we can as a management team to fill the holes for the month."

Q: c# WPF Gui update with Dispatcher from another thread I'm trying to update my WPF GUI from another thread. I've found some solutions with using the Dispatcher but it's still not working.
For example I'm using it in a catch block:
catch (Exception err){
    Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() => {
        pConsole.AppendText(err.Message);
        pConsole.ScrollToEnd();
    }));
    return;
}

pConsole is a RickTextBox.
With the dispatcher there is an output at the pConsole, but the output is:

The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.

Any idea what's wrong?

A: It doesn't look like there is a problem with the code you have posted, but since you write that the RichTextBox actually receives the text

The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it.

it seems like your exception handling code is working as it should, but catching an exception coming from the code in your try block.
In other words, check that the cause of the InvalidOperationException isn't in the try block.

A: For a change, try appending the stack trace and the message to your RTF box.
catch (Exception err){
    Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)(() => {
        pConsole.AppendText(err.Message);
        pConsole.AppendText(err.StackTrace);
        pConsole.ScrollToEnd();
    }));
    return;
}

There is nothing wrong with the code you wrote, it is just displaying the error message which was generated in the try block itself.

Have you noticed several new dark spots on your face, hands, or maybe your neck? Has your skin become darkened over the years or discolored in specific areas, with unwanted hair? Do you notice small red marks (broken capillaries) on your cheeks or around the creases of your nose?
If you're experiencing an unwanted skin condition similar to the one's listed above, our professionals are available to suggest the best treatment option for you!
Intense pulsed Light (IPL) also known as, a Photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that emits a broadband beam of light through a small crystal onto the skin. Our IPL is a secret weapon for reversing pigmentation problems, unwanted hair, active acne or the tone of someone's skin on any part of the body. The signs of aging can be treated easily by our IPL machine and safely by our laser technicians.
Our IPL machine uses a unique combination of radiofrequency and light to isolate the treatment area and leave the surrounding skin free from potentially harmful side effects. Using gentle pulses of two targeted energies means better results with lower overall energy output, assuring the highest level of safety and comfort. The laser is attracted to the hyperpigmentation on the skin and draws it towards the surface, eventually flaking off. When treating redness the laser setting is attracted to the hemoglobin and heats up the tiny vessels until they collapse and the blood retreats. This provides a clearer, smoother complexion, which smooth's out your skin tone.
IPL treatments help diminish the dark shadows of hyperpigmentation and create a younger looking complexion. If you have signs of red areas with broken capillaries on any area of the face the IPL machine will improve those areas and help with your complexion as well.
During the treatment it will be normal to feel some discomfort especially, on the sensitive areas. The crystal has a chilled tip to help cool the skin before and after the light beam is fired. You will feel some heat after the beam of light is absorbed into your skin, but it will only last for a split second. It feels similar to a small rubber band snapping your skin; the thin areas on the body are more sensitive and tend to feel more of the effects from the machine.
There is NO DOWNTIME! You can literally go to work after receiving an IPL, as long as you wear sunscreen. After an IPL treatment you will be able to go to lunch with a friend if you wanted because there is no downtime to the treatment. It's a quick and easy treatment completed by certified professionals with guaranteed results.
improvement with very low risk.

Q: Add a tab-based interface for code samples in multiple languages Regarding this question, I made the work to translate both in VB.NET and C#, as the subject applies to both those languages. I try to do that as often as I can when it applies to touch the biggest audience, as both communities do not overlap as much as it would be possible. It would be nice to have a better presentation for this kind of case like in msdn, tab-based per language. See for example this page wich has both VB.NET and C# code (oh and the copy script would be a nice addition too :))
I can see it applied to other cases in questions outside of the .net stack, questions regarding oop, or c/c++ questions.
Example of mark-up (the -- could be anything available and practical):
--VB.NET
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

  <ComImport()>
  <Guid("8DA56996-A151-4136-B474-32784559F6DF")>
  Public Interface ISampleInterface
    Sub GetUserInput()
    ReadOnly Property UserInput As String

  ...

  End Interface

--C#
using System;
  using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

  namespace TypeEquivalenceInterface
  {
    [ComImport]
    [Guid("8DA56996-A151-4136-B474-32784559F6DF")]
    public interface ISampleInterface
    {
        void GetUserInput();
        string UserInput { get; }

  ...

    }
  }

would turn into :

A: I think it's a neat idea and I like how the MSDN does it, but really I think the potential use-cases are few and far between, and to introduce extra syntax to accomodate them would be adding noise to the markdown help for little benefit.  C#, VB, and any other .NET language could benefit, but usually the asker is looking for a specific solution in one of those languages, not "how would I do it in any .NET language?"
I'd challenge you to find more than a dozen questions currently in the system that would benefit from this.  Or even to come up with a dozen hypothetical questions that would benefit from this which would be consisdered good fits for Stack Overflow.  Otherwise, it seems to be significant extra effort for minimal payoff.

A: I believe that the beauty of SO is in its simplicity. I don't mean to discredit the idea. Ideas are good but I have few concerns with this particular feature.

*

*SO is not a place for documentation. MSDN does that because they are supposed to provide examples for all the languages that they make and sell.

*As @Daniel pointed out, users post questions with a particular language in mind. So, whoever is answering the question will most probably answer it specific to the language. If it is language X and the user wants it in language Y, now a days there are lots of tools that can do it for them.

*Even if we go with tabs, which language would be selected by default to begin with C# or VB.NET. That's going to start whole another debate.

*The markdown syntax might get complicated as well.

*Having the ability to view both the code sections one after the other will help in comparing the differences (if that is ever used by programmers who work in both the languages, I believe that's a rare and endangered species). Yes, I have provided samples in C# and VB.NET languages while answering few SO questions. Personally, I prefer scrolling instead of clicking on the tabs because I work in both VB.NET and C#. Sometimes, I would like to see what the syntax differences are.

*Regarding the copy link, I think it is easier to select and copy the code.
Let's keep it simple, please.


Trying to find cute baby shower themes?And there just doesn't seem to be that many ideas for fun and unique shower themes out there?
And once you choose a theme, it's next to impossible to find any tips, suggestions, and ideas on how to use your theme to prepare the invitations, decorations, games, and food. And that is the biggest part of planning, by FAR!
So, you will be elated to look below and find that I have carefully chosen and planned the cutest and best baby shower themes for you.
Most of the brainstorming and planning has already been done for you. All you need to do is choose the theme you want and Voila! You have a perfect baby shower all planned and You are ready to PARTY!
1. Talk with the expectant mother about what theme she would enjoy the most.
The main reason for having the shower is to help her prepare for and be excited about the arrival of her baby. So her feelings are the most important consideration.
2. Whatever theme the expectant mother has chosen for the nursery is an excellent suggestion for the theme of the baby shower.
It will help the mommy-to-be fill her nursery with toys, decor, and matching colors.
3. Is the baby a boy or a girl?
This definitely will influence the theme, colors, and ideas. Pink vs. Blue, dolls vs. trucks?
4. Is the soon-to-be mother expecting twins?
5. Does the expectant mother already have children?
Many people throw a shower for each child because each child is special and unique. Using the same theme as the expectant mother had with a previous baby is any option. Often some of the same decorations could be used. In contrast, many times the mother already has most of the baby items she needs (except for diapers :] , so a baby shower focusing on pampering the mommy is very popular.
6. Is the Mommy-to-be adopting her baby?
If so, the theme of the baby shower shouldn't be handled any differently. The only difference is obviously that the theme of pregnancy shouldn't be used. Read more on adoption baby showers . . .
7. Choose a baby shower theme that is fun! After all, this is a party!
Having a specific theme can make the baby shower so much fun. It also helps create a feeling of constancy and gives everyone a focal point. If you don't know which theme to choose or you don't want to have one particular theme, you could use the general theme of "All Things Baby" above. So anything and everything that relates to a baby can be used in the decorations, invitations, gifts, favors, food and more.


Above: Photo by Miranda PowellSome of the brightest minds in astrophysics are like undiscovered exoplanets. They are out there, but no one knows about them just yet.
For some of these students, no one in their family has ever gone to college, let alone measured the masses of neutron stars. Fates and circumstances haven't aligned with their talents.
The trick is seeking such people out, and then mentoring and encouraging them. After all, "many talented students have had fewer opportunities than their wealthy peers," says UC Santa Cruz astronomy professor Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, who has made it part of his life's work to recruit, nurture, and champion such students.
When Ramirez-Ruiz launched the Lamat Summer Research Program on High-Performance Computing in Astrophysics in 2009, he was throwing out a wide net, hoping to snare the most talented community college students, as well as current UC Santa Cruz students, and make them part of the astrophysics community. The Lamat program also places a special emphasis on attracting Latinx students who are skilled in the sciences but want to delve more deeply into research.
Many Lamat students are transfers from community colleges; others have been at UC Santa Cruz all along but were looking for an immersive program to ramp up their astrophysics skills. And the results, so far, have been remarkable.
Ramirez-Ruiz has an outsized pride in every one of these students, who truly live up to the program's name. "Lamat" means "star" in the Mayan language.
And the program has yielded a phenomenal statistic: Lamat-trained UC Santa Cruz alumni helped increase the number of Latinx students in top astronomy graduate programs across the country from 2 percent to 5 percent in seven years.
At 39, Andrea Antoni (Kresge '18, astrophysics) is more than a decade older than many of her cohorts in the astrophysics program at UC Santa Cruz, but the long deferment of her ambitions has, if anything, redoubled her focus.
"She is probably one of the best students we have seen in our program," said Ramirez-Ruiz, noting that she has had graduate school offers from Harvard, Princeton, UC Berkeley, and Caltech. She was also the recipient of a prestigious 2017 Goldwater Scholarship for undergraduates in the fields of mathematics, science, and engineering and earned a 4.0 GPA.
While attending West Valley College in Saratoga, Antoni found out about "STEM Transfer Day," in which community college students can learn about opportunities at UC Santa Cruz. That's how she first heard of Ramirez-Ruiz, her future mentor, and learned that UC Santa Cruz is one of the few remaining campuses in the UC system to offer guaranteed admission for qualified community college students.
On campus, she picked up a Lamat program flyer, applied, and was accepted into that scientific "boot camp." The experience was a revelation.
She also realized that her research and classroom work reinforced each other in surprising ways. "Banging my head against the wall and putting wildly different physics concepts together to solve real problems really primed my ears for thinking in the classroom," she noted.
Antoni was born in Cincinnati, but the family moved to the Bay Area when she was 5. Her mother was a waitress at Red Lobster. Her father hung drywall.
But Antoni had to miss part of high school because of problems at home. After she became a single mother at 18, on her last day of high school, she went to work at Togo's, initially as a sandwich maker, but ended up a graphic designer and serving as the brand director for the company's Aqui Cal-Mex division.
With help from a supportive partner, and while her daughter was still in high school, Antoni completed the transfer requirements for a physics major before coming to UC Santa Cruz. Though Antoni has worked very hard on campus—and she and her sister are the first in their family to go to college—the years have passed like a dream.
"I get paid to do science!" she says, referring to her grant money.
Antoni plans to begin at UC Berkeley this fall to pursue her Ph.D.
Clearly, Lopez has a lot to be grateful for. He has gone from failing community college to pursuing a Ph.D. in astrophysics at Harvard starting in the fall of 2019. His transformation from a struggling student to an outstanding scholar was, literally, a matter of faith.
Lopez, a New Yorker and a first-generation college student, did not give much thought to school or the sciences when he graduated from high school in 2008. He enrolled in a community college, but mostly to please his parents. After dropping out with a GPA of 1.1, he moved to San Jose to enroll at an art institute and pursue a career in video games, only to be told that he could not draw and should seek another profession.
In fact, excelling at school became an act of worship. After transferring to UC Santa Cruz, he was accepted into Lamat, an impressive feat in itself. In a typical year, Lamat receives hundreds of applicants for only a few positions. But for those determined few, the program came with full funding for summer research throughout their careers at UC Santa Cruz. For Lopez, the program also led to an invitation to join a research group with Ramirez-Ruiz, who pushed the students to think critically, even while bolstering their confidence with strong support.
"Lamat was my first real exposure to astrophysics and any idea of how research worked or how to do it," Lopez said. "I didn't know how to read a paper, how to search for papers, or even know what the point of reading them was." As for Ramirez-Ruiz, "he pushes all of his students to think critically and believes in us," Lopez said. "He believed in me as a student with no background whatsoever and no research skills and helped me and mentored me through my journey at UC Santa Cruz." Aldo Batta, a postdoctoral scholar, also guided him throughout his time at UC Santa Cruz.
For Monica Gallegos-Garcia (Oakes '18, astrophysics), the Lamat summer program was her first real exposure to astrophysics research—and posed a formidable challenge in the beginning. She was a first-generation college student, and it took a little while just to find her footing in academia.
"Many times, I would stay on campus working for late hours because I was stuck on a problem," says Gallegos-Garcia.
But all that hands-on research experience would be a boon for Gallegos-Garcia, who has decided to attend a Ph.D. program in astronomy/ astrophysics at Northwestern University.
Gallegos-Garcia is first author of a paper entitled "Tidal Disruptions of Main-sequence Stars of Varying Mass and Age: Inferences from the Composition of the Fallback Material," which was published in the Astrophysical Journal this year.
Krystal Ruiz-Rocha (Stevenson '16, physics) plans on continuing research in astrophysics and pursuing graduate studies. This coming year she is going to participate in the renowned Fisk-Vanderbilt Bridge Program.
A Salinas native, she is the first in her family, on her father's side, to attend college, and the first to pursue a STEM field. And yet her connection to the sciences was strong, immediate, and unbreakable even when she was a child.
In Lamat, "I learned a great deal more about research practices and methods, and how to explain complex topics to my peers and people with no knowledge in astronomy," she says.
In fact, it was Lamat that gave her the tools to understand the workings of the universe, and motivated her to major in physics. Lamat also exposed her to students from diverse backgrounds—something that was sorely lacking in her physics classes, she said.
After graduating from UC Santa Cruz two years ago, Ruiz-Rocha continued her work on campus; her mentor, Ramirez-Ruiz, hired her as a junior research assistant.
In the process, Lamat is doing more than just preparing these students for success.

Forecasts call for increase in beef production with end of drought
For local farmers and ranchers, beef production is expected to increase in 2015 and 2016. The projections came during a Texas Farm Bureau meeting Thursday in Denison, where guest speaker Dan Childs gave a pricing forecast for local agriculture commodities.
Childs is an agriculture economist with the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, based out of Ardmore, Oklahoma. The foundation, a nonprofit organization, provides farm and ranch consultation, among other services.
"Nobody knows what the future is going to do, but we can look at historic relationships to make predictions," Childs said.
Grayson County Bureau board President Randy Watson said these forecasts are useful for farmers and ranchers as they plan for upcoming seasons. "It helps us plan for the future marketing and get our budget prepared," he said.
When much of the state was still in a period of drought, 2014 was a banner year for sectors of the beef industry, Childs said, focusing on cow-calf operations. The year was marked by high prices on calves and the retention of heifers for breeding rather than slaughter. Childs said this pattern indicates a focus on herd growth among ranchers.
This follows years of drought, which peaked in 2011. Due to extreme heat and low rainfall that year, low grass growth lead to an overstock of beef. The drought also hampered the production of corn, hay and other feed products, leading to a price increase.
Childs said this lead to a large-scale herd liquidation as many ranchers sought to reduce their costs. When this occurred in Texas, it caused a ripple effect.
"When Texas gets dry and sells, it has a big impact on the national industry," Childs said.
When this occurred, the number of cattle dropped significantly, while demand stayed high. It has taken several years for ranchers to catch back up to where they once were, Childs said, noting it takes two years for a cow to reach maturity, and another two before a cow is ready for slaughter.
"It takes nearly four years before we get steak to table from that one cow," he said.
For 2015, the weather has been a mixed blessing for agriculture, depending on who you ask. The heavy storms in May and June initially hindered corn planting and production, leading to a spike in prices in July, but Childs said since then the crops have rebounded and have been growing rapidly due to the moist soil.
"The jury is still out on what production will be, but it is looking favorable," Childs said.
Likewise, the storms caused a delay in much of the wheat production, causing some of the grain to sprout in the head. This makes the harvest not fit for human consumption, but it can still be used in animal feed.
Ultimately, Childs said he expects beef production to remain strong through the 2016. What this could lead to is a price drop in beef prices at the supermarket for consumers, with a noticeable drop expected as soon as next spring.

Forum Thread: Virus:VBS/Cari detected in psialog.txt?????
On Feb. 17th 2011, Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) reported that the file:C:\Program Files (x86)\Secunia\PSI\psialog.txt contained the virus VBS/Cari, with an alert level of Severe.
I searched the forum for "VBS/Cari", but did not find any matches.
I am hoping this is just a false positive, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same "Virus" found by MSE. To check just look under the history tab in MSE and it should be displayed there.
Also if there is anywhere I can send the file to be checked, I would be happy to do so. Right now it has been quarantined by MSE.

Yeah, they could try to take it off instead.
I lol'd when I saw that getting the hell out of dodge found it's way into the story. .
My character's gonna want to stop him, violently. Personally. I say [do nothing] . Sorry, Mitch. Life's a bitch.

Damn, missed it. But seems like a brilliant idea. Definitely going to keep up with this story!

We can amputate?

Okay I'm gonna start writing now.
Btw, Episode 1 has 3 chapters total.
Is Nero a bad guy?
You and 71% of players decided to save Mitchell.
(?) You saved Mitchell's life. He will remember that.
I ran up and kicked him in the side, making him fire the gun, but it didn't hit Mitchell, nearly did though. He fell to the ground, groaning in pain. I got down to him and punched him a few times.
"You don't fucking get to do that, asshole!" I yelled, and Nero quickly punched me, and I flew back and slammed the back of my head on the ground.
"You motherfucker.." Nero said as he got up and started punching me repeatedly.
"ENOUGH!" Luis stepped out and pointed a gun at Nero's head.
"Jesus Christ. I saved your ass and this is the fuckin' thanks I get?" Nero groaned as he spit out blood to Luis.
"Get off him!" Mitchell yelled as he picked up the gun that Nero had.
"Yeah kid, two guns is definitely scarier than one." Nero said sarcasticly.
"Nero, what is your fuckin' problem man, just fuckin' drop it?! Why'd you bring them in here anyways if you were gonna just kill them?" Xavier protested.
"Stop fighting!" Rose yelled.
"Okay, guys. This is getting out of hand. We can leave, okay? Just let us leave." Danny said.
"You got a goddamn bite victim with you. Damn right you are leaving." Nero said as he got up, as did I.
"Everyone calm down." Manny said.
"If you are bit, you come back as one of those monsters! And that kid is bit!" Nero explained.
"There has to be some other way then just killing him!" Danny cried.
"Jesus Christ, this is so fucked up." Manny paced.
"There is another way…" Frankie stepped out.
"Oh hey, Mr. Chatterbox, nice of you to join in." Nero smirked.
"We could amputate his arm. It'd save his life. But we need to do it immediately. Or else it won't work." Frankie said as he grabbed a hacksaw from the shelf.
"That's crazy." Said Crystal.
"He's a kid, man." Luis said.
"It's the kid's decision. Live with one arm, or die with two?" Frankie walked up to Mitchell and asked him.
"This is crazy." Sonya said.
"Mitchell…" Carmen said worried.
"Let me do it." The Irish said.
"Are you fucking serious?" Frankie said.
"I can do it…I can.." Mitchell held out his hand.
"No. I don't think you can. Let me do it, kid." Frankie said. Mitchell closed his eyes and put his arm on the table.
"Good thing you weren't bit anywhere more important. And the only thing you are losing is the hand. The bite is on your wrist. I'm sorry, kid. It's the only way." Frankie said as Mitchell gasped.
"C'mon guys, wait in the kitchen. We have some food." Rose said as she pulled everyone into the kitchen.
"Bite down on this." Frankie handed Mitchell a rag, and Mitchell did as he said.
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon." Frankie said as he began to slice his arm off. Mitchell's screaming could be heard from the kitchen. The screaming was muffled.
"Hold still!" Frankie yelled.
"God damn. This is so fucking fucked up. " Manny paced again.
"Looks, Frankie's good at this. We got plenty of medical supplies. He'll make it." Rose said.
"You pack one hell of a punch, Mr. Macho." Nero referred to me.
"Who the hell are you people?" I asked.
"I'm Randy Savage." Nero spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Fuck off." I told him.
"Hey, I saved your ass. If you wanna use that attitude, you can get the hell out of here!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP! I CAN'T CONCENTRATE OUT HERE!" Frankie yelled.
"I'm Rose. The guy in the trench coat is Xavier, the girl in the blue sweatshirt is Beth, the tall woman is Crystal, the tan muscular guy is Luis Domingez. And that's Frankie out there. And you know him, Nero Zedlum."
"What kind of name is that?" Sonya questioned.
"It's my name." Nero said with a harsh tone.
"Well, I'm Adam Stark." I said.
"I'm Danny. And this is Manny." Danny said and he motioned to Manny.
"Mitchell is the kid out there, getting his hand cut off?" Beth asked.
"Yeah. And this is my daughter Carmen." Sonya explained.
"Seriously, how is she your daughter? You're twenty and she is fourteen.." I questioned.
"She's my friends daughter. She died in a car accident three months ago. I asked for custody for Carmen, and they gave it to me. Adopted." Sonya explained.
"Well, that's a damn shame. I was thinkin' girls like you would be partying all you could. That is what them stuck-up college bitches do anyways.
"Don't speak to me like that." Sonya growled.
"I didn't say nothing. You're so sensitive." Nero chuckled.
"Are you a doctor?" Carmen asked Xavier, he had a surgical mask in his hands.
"No. I was given this mask, earlier in the day the infection basically exploded near the power plant. I saw a lot of people die there." Xavier wiped his tears.
"I'm sorry." Carmen said as she backed off.
"Well, the kid is going to make it. I think I did it fast enough. If it was a minute longer, it wouldn't have worked. He's lucky to be alive. And he won't be next time if he doesn't be more cautious.
"Thank god." Danny smiled.
"Finally something goes right." Manny smiled as well.
"Right? He lost his damn arm!" Beth said.
"We're happy he's alive, Beth." Rose said.
"Well, I think we should cut to the chase. Let them know where the hell we are headed. Let us see if they wanna accompany us on the trip." Nero said.
"What's with the sudden hospitality?" I raised my eyebrow.
"Nothing. I'm just such a great guy." Nero smiled.
"Anyways, we are heading to Savannah. I've heard there are some boats there. We're leaving in the morning. We have a truck, we can bring all of you with. What do you say? Your decision." Frankie said as he pulled up a map.
"We were going to head up towards Macon. But if Danny, Manny and Kevin wanna head their own way, then they can." Said Sonya.
"Sonya, we should stick together. I heard about the boats in Savannah as well. It's better to get there in the first few days of the apocalypse. Just like in the movies." Said Manny.
"Well, this isn't the fucking movies, Manny. Savannah is probably overrun." Said Sonya.
"Macon is probably our best bet." Danny sighed.
"Okay, I'm with you guys then." Manny nodded as he walked towards Sonya, Danny and Carmen.
"Adam, let's go." Danny said.
[Go to Macon.][Go to Savannah.]
Maybe we'll run into the drugstore.
Crawford's still around and that'd be too dangerous for the kids.
Lets go meet up with our favorite urban
Go to savannah. Maybe I'm crazy, but this is the plan.
Put him down
Hi! Tinycarlos, my character is Elias. Sorry I didn't really give him a good description. Can he be 15 and was on a vacation from Canada but got lost when the ZA started. Sorry if it's too last minute.
[go to savannah] what if it's different when it first starts going to hell? And they might be able to find a boat.
[Go to Macon.] It's either the Save-Lots Bandits or Crawford. At least the bandits were dumb. Also, you are doing a great job at writing Nero, he's hilarious.
I just realized, earlier in the thread I put that my character is moral and despises "evil" people, but I forgot to add who my character is XD . I'm Devin, and since I'm not in the story yet I assume you can add that character trait.
[Go to Macon] Savannah's overrun, has Crawford and probably has the boats already all stripped out. Plus the boat plan was a pipe dream, sorry Kenny.
Nero's awesome XD
[Put Him Down]. I know it's bad, but if he is bitten, they're just delaying the inevitable. At least let everyone say goodbyes.
[Go to Savannah.]. Gotta find da boat.
No harm done, man. I'll just add it to my notepad.
[Go to Macon]. Sonya knows what she`s talking about!
Yep, let's go to Macon.
Nero is my favourite character so far. :-D
[Stop him.] We could try to cut the arm off, but maybe they don't know yet this thing.
Save your bacon [head for Macon!]
[Go to Macon.] We know that there are no boats in Savannah, and we know about Crawford (but maybe we could go there later).
He's quite the magnificent bastard, that's for certain.
I also gave my character Danny a better description a few pages back, even if it could be too late because he's already been introduced.

This bosu ball workout is made for any level fitness fanatic, whether you're advanced or a beginner, you will find something here for you. Bosu balls are a great piece of workout equipment because not only do they allow you to build strength, but they also create a way for you to work on your balance.
The bosu ball squat can be done on either side of the bosu ball. The squat is easier to do on the rounded side because the balance factor is less challenging.
Step 1: Stand on either side of the bosu ball with your feet in line with your hips.
Step 2: Slowly push the hips back as you lower down, making sure that your feet don't cross over the toes.
Step 3: Shift your hips back forward just to the point where you are back to a standing position.
Step 1: With the rounded side of the bosu ball down, hold onto the outer edges of the bosu ball with your body extended out long. Make sure you have a straight line that you can draw from your head to your feet.
Step 2: Your feet should be hip-width distance apart. Begin by bringing either leg to the middle of your chest, as far into the body as possible while maintaining a long spine.
Step 3: Bring the forward leg back to meet the opposite leg and switch sides.
To Modify: Use your core strength to bring your leg across the body to the opposite elbow, instead of up to the center of the chest.
Step 1: Start in the same starting position as you did with the mountain climbers. Shift forward so that your wrists and shoulders are in line.
Step 2: Slowly lower down and pull the elbows into the body as you lower just to where your chest grazes the top of the bosu ball.
Step 3: Use your chest and arm strength to push you back up to starting position.
To Modify: Bring the knees down to the floor.
Step 1: Start in the same starting position as you did with the mountain climbers and push-ups. Shift forward so that your wrists and shoulders are in line.
Step 2: Continue to breathe as you lift the left leg, making sure that your form does not change. The hips should continue to face towards the floor.
Step 3: Bring the left leg back down and lift the right leg, alternating back and forth.
To Modify: Hold each leg up for 30 seconds, or come to your knees and hold the plank position for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 1: Start in a standing position with the round side of the bosu ball up. The bosu ball should be sitting in front of your feet.
Step 2: Reach down, shifting your hips back as you grab the bosu ball, and bring it up over your head.
Step 3: Push the bosu ball over your head and bring it back down to the ground following the same body pattern as you did when you picked it up.
Step 4: Jump your feet back so that your body is in a plank-like position while holding onto the bosu ball. Making sure that your feet are in line and your shoulders are in line with your wrists.
Step 5: Tuck your elbows in towards the body as you lower down so that your chest grazes the top of the ball.
Step 6: Push back up into plank-like position and repeat the exercise.
To Modify: Take out the push-up, and/or step back instead of jump back into the plank position.


Covent Garden is a district in London on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St. Martin's Lane and Drury Lane. It is associated with the former fruit and vegetable market in the central square, now a popular shopping and tourist site, and the Royal Opera House, which is also known as "Covent Garden".
The district is divided by the main thoroughfare of Long Acre, north of which is given over to independent shops centred on Neal's Yard and Seven Dials, while the south contains the central square with its street performers and most of the elegant buildings, theatres and entertainment facilities, including the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and the London Transport Museum.
Though mainly fields until the 16th century, the area was briefly settled when it became the heart of the Anglo-Saxon trading town of Lundenwic. After the town was abandoned, part of the area was walled off by 1200 for use as arable land and orchards by Westminster Abbey, and was referred to as "the garden of the Abbey and Convent".
The land, now called "the Covent Garden", was seized by Henry VIII, and granted to the Earls of Bedford in 1552. The 4th Earl commissioned Inigo Jones to build some fine houses to attract wealthy tenants. Jones designed the Italianate arcaded square along with the church of St Paul's. The design of the square was new to London, and had a significant influence on modern town planning, acting as the prototype for the laying-out of new estates as London grew. A small open-air fruit and vegetable market had developed on the south side of the fashionable square by 1654. An Act of Parliament was drawn up to control the area, and Charles Fowler's neo-classical building was erected in 1830 to cover and help organise the market. The area declined as a pleasure-ground as the market grew and further buildings were added: the Floral Hall, Charter Market, and in 1904 the Jubilee Market.
By the end of the 1960s traffic congestion was causing problems, and in 1974 the market relocated to the New Covent Garden Market about three miles (5 km) south-west at Nine Elms. The central building re-opened as a shopping centre in 1980, and is now a tourist location containing cafes, pubs, small shops, and a craft market called the Apple Market, along with another market held in the Jubilee Hall.
Covent Garden, with the postcode WC2, falls within the London boroughs of Westminster and Camden, and the parliamentary constituencies of Cities of London and Westminster and Holborn and St Pancras. The area has been served by the Piccadilly line at Covent Garden tube station since 1907; the journey from Leicester Square, at 300 yards, is the shortest on the London Underground.

Breece Hall ACL Injury Slows Jets Momentum
Measuring with Matt Eberflus' Own Standards
The Bears follow their coach's HITS principle and here are some tangible ways to determine how close they are to where he wants.
Gene Chamberlain
Oct 24, 2022 12:13 PM EDT
Bears coach Matt Eberflus was asked at Halas Hall after his mini-bye evaluation whether the team is where he expected.
He was being a bit evasive about how the team came through his mini-bye assessment and it seemed like a good way to find out some specifics. The answer sounded no more specific but there are a few concrete ways to look at it.
"Yeah that's a good question," Eberflus said. "I think it's harder to answer. I would just say we are where we are. The old saying, 'you are what your record is,' all that jazz.
"I would say that we are strong where we are strong right now and we need to improve where we need to improve, that it's just right in front of us."
Cryptical anwer aside the real measure of the Bears as constituted under Eberflus is how well they adhere to his own principle.
Eberflus' HITS principle is the gauge to measure their progress.
The first two letters stand for hustle and intensity, but those are impossible for anyone outside of Halas Hall to accurately measure.
Eberflus and staff don't reveal all their "loafs," handed out but there are have been glimpses of players hustling and also not hustling or being intense. Their highly rated special teams for five games had been a good indication of hustle, despite the two muffed punts by Velus Jones Jr. Eddie Jackson's play at safety included many obvious instances of how hustle and intensity are helping.
Two plays in particular show up potentially as non-hustle or non-intense. The failure to come up with the football in successive weeks on both sides of the ball when quarterbacks lost control of it while passing loomed as potential instances where they could have hustled better after the ball. But those seem isolated occurrences and on one of those the ball bounced directly to Minnesota's Irv Smith Jr., so it wouldn't have mattered how much anyone hustled.
So while those are vague measurements.
At least in terms of true analytics for the HITS principle, the Bears do appear on the right track but definitely are not where Eberflus wants them.
The T and S stand for takeaways or taking care of the ball, and smart football (lack of penalties).
Heading into this week, the Bears were 25th in total penalties committed with 31. They were tied for 20th in penalty yards walked off with 253. The farther down the ladder they can fall in both, the better. Both are better than they finished last year.
Averages in football carry less meaning than actual game-to-game totals. In that regard, the Bears have been sufficient.
They committed fewer penalties than opponents in four of their six games. In terms of yardage, they've had more yards walked off than opponents in four of the six games but it was very close, and often higher yardage totals result from one defensive pass interference penalty.
One area the Colts defense succeeded at greatly under Eberflus was takeaways, as they finished top 10 all four years. The Bears are close now to that after being miserable at it in the last three seasons of the Matt Nagy regime.
The Bears have eight takeaways, which ties for the 12th most. They're within a few takeaways of top 10.
The one area they are not close should probably surprise no one and that's turning over the ball. Their 10 turnovers were the sixth most through Week 6.
Justin Fields' five interceptions accounted for half the total and his 4.3% rate of interceptions is both worse than his rookie year and the worst in the league among starters who have played half their team's games.
However, there's another aspect to turnovers and that's fumbles. Fields hasn't necessarily made great strides at protecting the football with seven of them so far, after fumbling 12 times last year in 12 appearances and 10 starts.
However, the Bears and Fields have been more alert in getting them back. He has only one lost fumble despite being sacked more than any quarterback through six weeks. He lost five of his 12 fumbles last year.
The other Bears haven't protected it so well and they had four other lost fumbles through six games, including two critical muffs.
So using Eberflus' own principle as a gauge, his mini-bye assessment probably looked a lot like the Bears' record. They were doing what he wanted to some extent but not enough. With the positives they accomplished, they should expect better but simply don't have the wins to show for it.
It's probably not who Eberflus thought the Bears should be but it's who they are now and their record reflects this.
"So, you know, we got to learn how to finish better like I said after the (last) game," Eberflus said. "We got to learn how to play situational football, third down, red zone better on both sides of the ball and we're going to work had to do that."
They have 11 games to make their numbers more accurately reflect the way they're following the Eberflus HITS principle.

With "Christ our Peace" being the theme for this year's Lenten series, I could think of no better passage to use than the section of Jesus' farewell discourse that speaks about the peace he leaves to the world as he enters the peace of his Father's kingdom. And no, I'm not going to do a 40-point sermon as suggested. I'm not even going to do a 4-point sermon on the topic. So you can relax.
Now, there's no place to relax like home. There is nothing like home. The sights and sounds and smells of home are just as much a part of us as the hopes and dreams, and the relationships of love and support which make us feel safe and secure when we're home. The song, "Home, Sweet Home" may not be as popular as it was in bygone years. It may not move our hearts in the same way as it did, but 'Home, Sweet Home" thrills us just the same, especially if we have left home and have a chance to return. Soldiers cry for home; prisoners dream of home; nursing home residents would do anything to get back to home. There is nothing as tragic as watching people on TV as they homes burn into cinders, and there is nothing more joyful than seeing someone rush into the arms of a loved one after months of separation.
In the lesson for today, Jesus talks about going home. To him, home means returning to his Father, and residing in paradise, the new Jerusalem, a place of everlasting joy and peace. He had made his home here on earth for a while. He walked among us and helped us grow in faith and love of God, but his time of separation from his real home, the place from which he came, was coming to an end. He had just a couple of more things to do before his death and resurrection and before his ascension into heaven, and one of those things was to prepare his disciples for his departure.
How do you prepare a person for your impending death? It is difficult for us to prepare ourselves, let alone prepare those we love – our children and our spouse, our grandchildren or parents, and our friends – those who suffer a loss which they can do nothing to prevent. All they can do is stand by and watch. We may write our last will and testament. We may have the foresight to provide financial security via insurance policies. But, none of this prepares loved ones for the experience of separation and feelings of guilt, fear and abandonment which can accompany a death.
I have seen people face death with courage. I have seen people face death with fear. I have seen people face death with a faith in God that gave them hope that there was something more in store for them. But, I have never seen another person face death like Chauncey.
Now, Chauncey was not a regular church-going man. I don't think I ever saw him in worship. But he believed in God and trusted in promises in a way that gave him the courage to face whatever came his way. As it happened, life wasn't kind to this man, for in his early 60's, he was dying of a very painful disease – bone cancer.
As Chauncey laid in his hospital bed, he remained sharp and alert even in his last hours. He was no fool. He knew that his time was short. And on the day before he died, he requested that his lawyer come in to his bedside in order to insure that all the provisions were properly made to care for his loved ones. I was there when he picked up the phone and called his sister for the last time in order to say, "Good-bye" and to reassure her that he would see her again someday. I was there when he turned to his wife, Harriet, and told her how much he loved her and that he would watch over her even after his death. And because I was there that last day, I, even I, was a recipient of this man's departing gifts for as I was leaving his hospital room, he turned to me and with the power of faith, said, "Peace be with you." And, with his words came a rush of God's blessing and peace, like nothing I had ever experienced before or since that time.
As I tell this story and remember these words and the divine presence that overcame me that day, tears well up in my eyes. Chauncey had given me the greatest gift that he could…the gift of God's peace and presence in the midst of death.
This is what Jesus wanted to give to his disciples…. the gift of God's peace and presence in the midst of death. Jesus had a tough task in front of him as he tried to prepare his friends for what was about to happen to him. He wanted them to rejoice for he would be returning home to the arms of his waiting Father. At the same time, joy would be the last emotion which they would experience. So, to help his disciples get through the impending crisis and to empower them to serve in his absence, Jesus gave them a couple of promises and two gifts – a couple of promises which would be fulfilled, and two gifts to enable disciples of every generation to find hope even in death.
What are these promises? What are these gifts? The first promise is that of love, a love which will extend from Jesus himself, through the Father and into the lives of those who are left behind. This love is not a passive, warm-fuzzy feeling, but a love which embeds itself into people's lives. You might say that it's sort of like a good marriage, a special bond in which words and actions become one as two individuals unite for a life time.
This love is a promise from Jesus, a promise to you and me and all who find our home with him. But how are the disciples to keep their end of this love relationship? As we all know, marriage isn't easy, especially when the spouse is absent for years. So, in order to help the disciples stay firm in a life of faith which keeps Jesus' word alive, Jesus promised to be present through the gift of the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, which was to become as much a part of their lives as their own spirit and will. For us, this Holy Spirit comes to us before most of us are capable to acknowledging our Lord. This Advocate has a purpose – to teach us everything that is needful and to remind us of everything that Jesus said and did.
As if this promise and this gift were not enough for disciples of every age, Jesus also gave us the gift of his peace. The peace which he gave is not the absence of hostility. In fact, it can often be described as just the opposite. For, it is a peace which finds joy in the midst of struggle; a peace which finds stability in the midst of change; a peace which can turn what Martin Luther King, Jr. called "dark yesterdays into oases for tomorrow." The peace that Jesus left for us is not like the peace that the world brings. For this peace gives us courage to face adversity and hope in the face of death. Christ's peace is a peace which thrives when all other things fail and fade with time. In Christ there is peace – a peace that endures forever.
Yes, there will be a time of separation. There will be a time of physical absence. Death is a real thing in this world in which we live. But, that time will not be forever. The one who went home to the Father will come again. And, so the disciples of every generation can find hope even in death. Jesus came; he ministered among us; he died for our sake; he rose; he went home to the Father; and he will come again. We have his promise on this. And we have the gifts he left behind so that we will know that we have not been abandoned. God is with us. Christ is our peace.
May you find comfort and encouragement in Jesus' promises and in his gifts – and may the peace of God, which surpasses all human understanding, keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Mag Hasn't Had a Solo Man on Cover Since '84. Till Now
Jonathan Van Ness is first non-female to appear alone on front of UK 'Cosmo' in 35 years
By Arden Dier, Newser Staff

(Newser) – For the first time in 35 years, there's a non-female appearing solo on the cover of Cosmopolitan UK. Queer Eye grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness graces the January 2020 cover (see it here) in a peach tulle gown by Christian Siriano, plus striped tube socks and Nike sneakers, beneath a headline reading, "Yep. We did it. You're totally welcome." The magazine featured boy band One Direction on its cover in 2012, but Van Ness—who identifies as nonbinary and uses male pronouns—is the first non-female to appear solo on the cover since Boy George did the same in 1984. "Jonathan is warm, funny, opinionated, kind, and brave, all qualities that resonate with our audience," Editor-in-Chief Claire Hodgson tells Time of the Quincy, Ill., native. "He is encouraging people to love who they are."
Described in Cosmo as "a 6ft force for social change with better hair and shoes than all of us," Van Ness opens up about his diagnosis with HIV, which he first revealed in his memoir Over the Top, released Sept. 24, per People. "I was really scared of the reaction" and despite an "outpouring of love," there were people "saying the most horrific, vile things" on Twitter, says the 32-year-old. "There is still so much misunderstanding, so much sensationalizing of living with HIV," he adds. "The stigma and the difficulty around the process of getting treatment is creating that." That's partly why the first non-female ambassador for nail polish brand Essie has endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president. "I really want to improve the social safety net for people living with HIV," he says. "And make critical thinking cool." (Read more Cosmopolitan stories.)

Analysis vs Villa: Comparing Wingers
Matt Ladson
@mattladson
Last night's match against Aston Villa saw almost our strongest 11 on the pitch, bar Mascherano being in there somewhere, so provides a decent opportunity to take a look at the contrasting styles and qualities of our two wide-players Dirk Kuyt and Yossi Benayoun.
In all honesty though, we looked very narrow in attack for large spells and our width was provided by full backs in the shape of Glen Johnson and Emiliano Insua who both did well getting forward and supplying crosses into the box.
I've had many a debate over the merits of Kuyt in recent years and these last few months his place in the team has been questioned by everyone except the man that matters, Rafa Benitez. He was rested against Wolves so we all hoped the Dutchman would come back and show us a bit more of the Kuyt from last season. For me, it just didn't happen. You see, the problem with Kuyt is he has energy and workrate no matter when he played last, what he lacks is any creativity, that bit of skill to unlock a defence.
I've often said that teams playing the 4231 which we allegedly play need the 3 behind the 1 to be creative players and the 2 holding midfielders offer defensive cover. But Kuyt is out on the right because he offers cover for the full back, but he doesn't offer much going forward and that's why Torres looks so isolated at times. It's strange though because last season he was seemingly a lot higher up the pitch and was often doubling up in the middle to create problems for defenders and getting to the byline, this season it's rare for him to get past the edge of the 18 yard box.
Take a look at the chalkboard below and you'll see where we lacked that final ball and why Torres, up until the 93rd minute when a Villa player inadvertently played him in, had nothing to go on. Yes, just ONE succesful pass inside the box and not one from outside into a forward.
You can also see how Kuyt's passing was very predictable, short and inside. Safe 5 yard passes aren't exactly what are needed in the final third when you are looking to stretch the defence.
[table id=31 /]
Interesting too that Benayoun made more tackles and interceptions.
The massive problem with Kuyt is that there is really no competition at all for his place, only if Rafa plays a left back (Aurelio or Dossena) on the opposite wing and Benayoun on the right is Kuyt's place under threat, and bringing in a full back in an attacking position brings similar problems. The only right midfielder at the club is Nabil El Zhar.
I'd like to see Gerrard moved out to the right, Aquilani through the middle, Benayoun on the left and the three of them given licence to interchange. Much the way Chelsea used to play when they used this formation with creative attacking players like Cole and Robben occupying the wide spots, until then we'll have to settle for grinding out results rather than playing attacking football.
I'm not suggesting this is something that should definitely be changed midway through a season like this, I'm pointing out a weakness in our attack and why it should be looked at at the end of the season when reinforcements are required.
