![]() The officially licensed Shark Week T-shirt, exclusively available to donors (while supplies last) at Red Cross blood drives and donation centers, ends Monday, July 31. Despite 62% of the population being eligible to donate, only about 3% does."ĭon’t miss the Shark Week T-shirt giveaway. “We rely on the generosity of others to give blood so that it's available when needed. "The only way to obtain transfusable blood is through donations,” Dr. Walter Kelley, Medical Director for the Rocky Mountain Division of the American Red Cross “We’re urging everyone who can to schedule an appointment today.” Donors can make an appointment today using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit, or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-80). “Type O blood is the most used in hospitals and B negative is one of the rarest blood types,” explained Dr. Moreover, there’s an urgent need for type O negative, type O positive, and type B negative blood donation. “To meet demand for patients undergoing medical procedures and treatments at approximately 2,500 hospitals and transfusion centers, the Red Cross needs to collect 12,500 blood and 3,000 platelet donations every day,” Flanigan said. The Red Cross plays a vital role in supporting the nation's blood supply, providing approximately 40% of the blood collected across the country. Blood donations are a lifeline for patients in need, and the current shortage is a cause for concern.” ![]() ![]() “Although we often see a dip in donations during the summer, this year’s decline has been one of the larger ones in recent summers. “Nationwide, we have experienced a shortfall of more than 50,000 donations over the past two months,” said Rachel Flanigan, Executive Director of the American Red Cross Southern Nevada Chapter. This shortage could mean potentially dire consequences for patients and has caused the American Red Cross of Southern Nevada to urge donors to help avert a blood shortage. LAS VEGAS (July 26, 2023) - The nation’s blood supply is continuing to decline, now worsened by a summer donation slump.

Bryant gives him the key to the women's locker with the cocaine and heads for the exit. Meanwhile, after coming up empty while searching the casino for Vincent, Dennison is convinced he's gotten away and directs Bryant to go home and get some sleep. Without the drugs, Vincent is forced to present Rubino with bags of sugar to ensure T's safety, but Novak uncovers his ruse, and T is recaptured by Rubino's men, while Vincent manages to escape. He is unknowingly followed by Bryant, who, now convinced he is a dirty cop, retrieves the bag and hides it in the women's locker room nearby. ![]() Vincent retrieves the cocaine from Cass, places it in a duffel bag, and leaves it in the ventilation shaft of one of the bathrooms in Rubino's casino, hoping he can negotiate his son's release before handing over his leverage. While driving T to a soccer game, Vincent is ambushed by Rubino's men, who stab him in the abdomen and kidnap his son - demanding the stolen cocaine back in exchange for T's life. Vincent is estranged from his wife Dena, who is getting remarried, and has minimal involvement in the life of his 16-year-old son T. The two cops volunteer to investigate the robbery in order to cover up their involvement, clashing with Internal Affairs investigators Jennifer Bryant and her superior Doug Dennison, who are suspicious of the pair. In Las Vegas, LVMPD policemen Vincent Downs – who has a lot of enemies – and his partner Sean Cass rob a shipment of cocaine belonging to entrepreneur Stanley Rubino, who intended to sell it to mobster Rob Novak, the son of a powerful mob boss.

How much better they're doing is questionable, and not something I want to comment on. Michelle's son is currently incarcerated. He lives with me, and we're both doing MUCH better than we were at that point in our lives. It's '12, and both of us are not on the street.

![]() You can stuff practically anything into this little car, or tie it to the roof if it still won't fit. However there is plenty of headroom, even without the moon roof. I'm 6'1", and I find the front seats uncomfortable after about two hours' worth of driving. Speaking of which, tires for this car do NOT come cheap. ![]() This probably owes to the car's very large tire footprint courtesy of the 16" rims. That said, visibility is excellent, cornering is tight and adroit, and the suspension is comfortable and refined. I would have expected better than 28 mpg from a Corolla-based platform, but I guess the slushomatic transmission and the added weight of the car's large frame contribute to undermine its fuel economy. At 65 MPH, the car downshifts (sometimes twice) to handle even moderate hills. The base 1.8 liter engine is far from a performer, especially paired with the automatic transmission. Some trim panels on the dashboard are loose or rattling. Various small indicator lights on the dashboard/console have failed, such as the gear indicator light on the shifter and several lights in the radio. Will change rear brake shoes soon (at 106,500 miles). I don't trust this car to take me very far, however, as it seems every problem solved clears the way for the next one to appear. The shifter is balky, so that is the best way to ensure a quick getaway, picking a gear and taking off in it. The engine, even with much deferred-maintenance, to judge by the general condition of the car, will still rev into the stratosphere. ![]() Fuel economy is decent, at about 8.2L/100km (26 mpg), but costly, as the car likes premium fuel. It handles well, for a fairly tall car, and most parts are fairly reasonably priced. This is a comfortable car in that the seats are cushy, but the concession you make for the sporty model is a harsh ride. Wiper linkage failed (I've never had this happen before).Ĭatalytic converter clogged (expected, but costly, considering it's an economy car. The starter failed (it was original, so not really an issue).Īir conditioner doesn't work (expected at this age). It, like all other Vibes, Matrixes, and Corollas of this generation sold in North America, has frozen at 299999 kilometers. You may need to have the codes cleared once you've finished.Odometer is not working. The other is awkwardly under the battery and shouldn't be as tempting anyway. If you don't want to lose an extra twenty minutes, replace the one on the left, near your transmission dipstick (like I DIDN'T at first). note that the sensor to which this code refers is one of two accessible from above, slightly hidden under your air filter (take that off first and you're golden). If you decide to replace it yourself, like I eventually did. For the record, I drove mine (2009 Vibe GT 2.4) with these quirks for 2 months before I actually fixed it thanks to first pursuing a lot of misinformation I got from the dealer and 2 separate transmission "specialists" in town. This could mean refusing to shift beyond 3rd gear, stalling when the rpms drop due to a delayed downshift, or jumping to 4th on takeoff and leaving you near powerless in the middle of a busy intersection. However, keep in mind that without this sensor to guide it, your transmission may behave somewhat erratically, unsure of which gear it should be in at a given speed. If you're super tight on cash and haven't noticed any serious effects of this failing sensor yet, it shouldn't harm anything if you need to continue to drive your vehicle for a few days. It is a speed sensor on your transmission, nothing more, though there are misleading mechanics and forums out there that will try to scare you into replacing the PCM and all the wires because this is one job where the part is more expensive than the labor (which shouldn't be more than 30 dollars for this 15 minute job depending on where you live) and the replacement sensor costs right around 100 bucks. If you have no other codes, then that is exactly what the problem is. The details read "Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor " Maybe your car seems to be running fine, maybe the warning lights don't even stay on for long, but you take it to your local parts store for a quick scan and pull up this code.

Is this correct?ĮDIT: Then again, the standard helm has the same DC for two spells of different levels, so maybe it should be DC 20 for flaming sphere of the lesser helm too?Ģ) What are the costs of the gems? This booklet lists the costs of the gems from the standard helm of brilliance as diamond (prismatic spray - 2,275 gp), ruby (wall of fire - 1,300 gp), fire opal (fireball - 375 gp), opal (daylight - 187 gp), and these costs allow you to price a helm that has used up some of its gem. The helm of brilliance is the most common helm in the ascension kit. A couple questions about this item.ġ) What is the Reflex save DC for the flaming sphere cast by a coral? The fireball is listed as DC 20, so working backwards from that ( fireball DC 10 +3 spell level +7 Int mod) would give: DC 10 +2 spell level +7 Int mod = flaming sphere DC 19. In the case of the Helm of Brilliances flame effect, can a 1 or 2 on the additional 1d6 fire damage be rerolled using Great Weapon Fighting On one hand, it seems like the extra damage from the Helm of Brilliance cant be rerolled, because it is clearly a spell-like effect rather than a natural part of the weapon. When so empowered, the true nature of the helm is visible to all. When worn, it functions only upon utterance of a special command word. ![]() The Classic Treasures Revisited booklet has a weaker version of the Helm of Brilliance called the Lesser Helm of Brilliance. When discovered, a helm of brilliance appears to be nothing more than an ordinary piece of armor for head protection - a helmet, basinet, sallet, of iron or steel. |
