Sounds like an engaging topic

So...

1. Introduction
---1.1. Peripheral Intravenous Catheters
---1.2. Thesis: Deviations in policy occur, which impacts my future career
2. Procedure
3. Deviations and Reasoning
4. Implications
5. Conclusion

Sound about right?

Sound about right?

Except the procedure is pretty much universal. The only difference is that one hospital's policy is that the tourniquet(used to make a vein stand up due to increased pressure on the blood flow in a local area) is removed before insertion of the catheter, while the other two are identical. But it sounds like you have a good handle on things...for a history major

 

[arbustos]

Oh... well the format is the same. Just insert whatever info you need at the appropriate spots and the essay falls into place.

Edited outline. It's just more open now to what you need to say.

 

[G. Vice]

Lol, you actually make outlines and such. That's awesome. I've got a grading rubric that I'll bring of course, and we'll just address each of the points in a way that will net all the points available on the essay.

WHICH btw is a lame 10 points. But also a 10 points that I must get because it will pad my grade going into the final and relieve some stress so that me bombing the test(unlikely) won't result in my dropping below an 80 percent and failing the class, program, and of course life.

(edit, Arby how should that last sentence be punctuated grammatically? I'm not sure but I figure you'll know.)

 

[arbustos]

I actually never have used outlines, but recent classes forcing me to have shown me the wisdom of transforming daunting essays into manageable assembly kits. Every essay has the same format, so you just need to know what you're going to talk about. Then you can fill in a paragraph here, a paragraph there...

That's definitely a run-on sentence because of the consecutive clauses beginning with "because" and "so." I'd maybe add a comma before either one of those words. It's fine as-is though.

Cool easter egg. 81 apm 217 first try noobs on this board. Scrolling up and down was annoying as JESUS though. I had a heart attack when they started attacking from behind. what kind of noob positions their base so the opponent can attack from all four sides with land.

A resource whore. OR a masochist.

My problem is this awful mouse. Annoying to even surf the web sometimes.

god only 81? You can do better than that. A real man puts his base in the air.

Hey Vice, Vts wants to go to that tourney tomorrow. Do you want to do the paper before we leave and go with us? Do it on the way? Or on Sunday? My plans are still entirely tentative at this point, so let me know.

I have to have that paper done by Sunday is the deal. So I'd like to finish it Saturday. I would say that I wanna go with ya'll but I do have to work tonight, and I don't know how much sleep I'll get if I have to go with ya'll to write the paper.

Don't worry, I decided not to go after all. Way too much to do for next week.

Lol nice job. Arby was telling me that you and your brother played Starcraft. Which one do you play? I was die hard BW for a long time, but play SC2 now. I'm admittedly pretty horrible though. Like, I get the game, but my execution is terrible. Bronze league, ofc.

Hm, since Adam and I (and Saber Guy) will be there for a couple days, you wanna play some Brood War? We can bring laptops.

Smash-inspired game coming out on the Playstation. It looks like trash though, at least from a competitive standpoint.

Smash fans like Smash because of the Nintendo characters, not because of the game system

They won't switch over to this

They understand... nothing...

Everyone liked and supported that post too. I just don't get it.

 

[The March Hare]

That sounds fun.

We played both. Starcraft for longer. We got to Diamond league on Starcraft 2 all ladders before quitting about half a year after starcraft 2 came out. The continual patches and fixes were annoying the crap out of me. Admittedly though, I was a lot better at Starcraft 2 than I ever was at starcraft 1. Starcraft 2 didn't have all the tech requirements that Starcraft 1 required to play decently.

 

[arbustos]

Guh, I just got a lot of work done. Vts, call me tomorrow before you leave. I may decide to go after all.

Vice, if you want to go I'll come for sure. If not, I'll just decide when I wake up.

 

[G. Vice]

But I can't go and I need your brain power for to finish my essay

 

[arbustos]

How sure are you that you can't go, assuming we left past noon? If 100%, then I'll stay. If you can go, I'll go.

Either way is fine with me :]

 

[Yo$himan]

dude, this ghost recon online beta is awesome.

It will be free once it comes out.

 

[arbustos]

Oh god talk to Collin about some Ghost Recon

 

[Yo$himan]

Har har diddley de,

I am a pirate.

 

[G. Vice]

Seeing as how I have to be up to 7:30 am with work I doubt i will be able to go to a tournament and write an essay in the same day :/

 

[arbustos]

I'll stay then.

 

[G. Vice]

I will make it worth your while

 

[arbustos]

I am giving up Qdoba for you.

YOU BETTER

 

[Yo$himan]

Been in Fayetteville for 4 months, went to qdoba once..

 

[arbustos]

yar har diddle de dee

you are a pirate

 

[G. Vice]

Arby, I'm gonna crash. And I'm really tired. I'll probably be up around 2, since you're not in a rush to go to the tournament.

We will work on that paper this afternoon. I figure 2 hrs tops will have it knocked out then we'll eat and smash. Good night world. Arby have your phone on.

 

[memk]

No its not.

 

[Yo$himan]

No its not.

I have countless hours of pc shooter experience, how can you tell me I'm wrong?

Smash-inspired game coming out on the Playstation. It looks like trash though, at least from a competitive standpoint.

I don't see all of the Smash comparisons. To me it looks like vs Capcom meets generic 2D action game, with a bunch of random characters. What defines Smash as a game that sets it apart from everything else: arbitrary health, scaling knockback, only KO when getting hit beyond blast zones. None of these are in the game, or.. any other game, aside from tributes (Smash Land). Smash-inspired solely because Smash is the most popular 2D action game. IGN even called it a "Smash clone" which is hilariously wrong.

 

[Zivilyn Bane]

Smash clone is going way too far, but smash inspired makes more sense.

Funny story about my first tournament, B4N. It was at a company called Shaba Games, a subsidiary of Activision. They were making a smash inspired game called Shrek SuperSlam so they hosted a legit smash tourney with MLG rules and everything. It was an amazing venue with more than enough TVs and setups. Players in attendance were allowed to play the Shrek game prerelease and in development form, and provide feedback. Needless to say, the game sucked but the tournament was awesome lol.

 

[Yo$himan]

If it has preset combos, then it will never be like smash.


Someone said Eric Clapton is coming to little rock this summer, but I'm unable to confirm because his website is down.

 

[arbustos]

They draw Smash comparisons because of the deliberate design similarities and because the engine uses simplistic button combinations to attack.

Like that post said, we apparently play Smash for the characters, not the engine. They didn't think things like scaling knockback, ringout KOs, or precise movement meant anything Because some of the people behind the game have a history in fighting games, they're even anticipating it to be more competitive than Smash. Naturally, because it was DESIGNED that way. Ahhhhhhh hatehatehate

 

[The March Hare]

Well if they're thinking smash=brawl I'm not going to deny it.

 

[arbustos]

That's the mentality a lot of the time.

Admittedly a good number of people know Melee is a good game that just took awhile to be respected. But a lot of people are also ********.

 

[Vts]

just need 10 points to be 8th best IC player by elo points lol

also database has 1771 people in it that's pretty crazy. even though only about 800 i bet play serious and travel to tournaments.

guess sleep time before the tournament

Hey Will, weren't you planning on doing this a long time ago? Granted this focuses on art alone.
