My 15-year old daughter had a kitchen accident last night. She had boiled some eggs, and spilled the water on herself shortly after the heat was tuned off. She jerked her clothes off as fast as she could right after, and we got her into the tub and poured cold water over her for a while to cool down her skin and manage her pain.
She suffered burns to her neck, chest, legs and feet. The burns were worst on her feet and right knee, where the skin blistered and peeled. Yeah, 2nd degree in those spots. I was scared for her, afraid she might need surgery, and also worried about the costs of care since my wife lost her job about 3 weeks ago and I haven't gotten insured through mine yet. Anyway, after she was comfortable enough for transport (basically able to get OUT of the tub) my wife and her friend Adam rushed her to the ER. They gave her morphine for the pain and after a couple hours got her up to the burn unit. They evaluated her there, 1st and 2nd degree burns over 14% of her body. They debrided her burns, medicated and dressed them, and put her in the PICU on IV fluids, with regular doses of morphine, plus adavan to help her relax and rest. The re-evaluated her today after I got myself excused from work and went to the hospital. She's doing very well. No spots were worse than 2nd degree, they expect she'll heal fine with no scarring. The burn surgeon was very pleased with her condition, and she won't require any grafts. She should be able to come home tomorrow. In fact, she did her own debridement in the therapy tub today, and she is so easy to get along with they love her in PICU. It could have been so much worse. She's tough and she's strong, but it was terrifying for me, because there was so little I could do besides talk to her and douse her with cool water until she was ready to go to the hospital. Words can't express my relief.

I need another Shockblast/Six-Shot shoulder, the left-one to be precise, which held his cannon-arm. The attached photo of my old custom shows them for use in both shoulders.

Hey all!
I'm just about done with one of my long-stalled customs projects, Brave Maximus. Please excuse the crappy photos: (IMG:http://www.corvusonline.net/mypics/Brave01.jpg) (IMG:http://www.corvusonline.net/mypics/Brave02.jpg) (IMG:http://www.corvusonline.net/mypics/Brave03.jpg) You can see my nearly-complete Fort Max in the background of these shots. He is another long-delayed project that's just about done. I still have to finish the silver accents on Brave's rifle, finish the red paint apps on the shoulders, leg mortars, and ramps, and some minor paint touch-ups. I also have to finish up his tower, and create his Master-Sword. Comments are welcome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

Nice!
http://www.businessweek.com/careers/manage...y_shopping.html QUOTE Eighty shopping malls will be getting temporary tenants as a present this holiday season. Retailer Toys ‘R’ Us is setting up the “pop-up stores,” it announced Sept. 15, along with adding temporary toy departments to 270 of its Babies ‘R’ Us stores. The move is an effort for the 847-store chain to take advantage of empty mall real estate and grab market share as other toy retailers have disappeared. KB Toys filed for bankruptcy last December, right in the midst of the Christmas shopping season, while FAO Schwartz was acquired by Toys ‘R’ Us earlier this year.
That Toys ‘R’ Us, which was struggling mightily just a few years ago, is in a position to expand in a recession says a lot about how the company’s fortunes have changed. Even if the move is temporary—the “pop-up” spaces will exist from October to mid-January—it should help the privately owned retailer compete with Wal-Mart and Target, not to mention Sears, which added permanent toy departments in 20 of its stores in June. With KB Toys out of the picture, there has been little selling of toys actually going on at the mall. “Pop-up” stores are, of course, nothing new. Target has launched them for several years during New York’s Fashion Week, including this one for the “Gossip Girl”-themed Anna Sui line. The magazine Teen Vogue opened one last year, while Jones Apparel Group unit Rachel Roy announced temporary digs earlier this month. Still, it makes a lot of sense that the concept would be proliferating amidst a depressed commercial real estate market, when vacancy rates are climbing and rental rates are falling. Pop-up concepts aren’t the only ones: Apparently health insurers are even seeking out cheap space at the mall.

I received these in a lot of assorted weapons a few years ago, and I'd love to know what toy these came from.
