Did you, did you go in your mommy and daddy's room?ĬHILD: Not all over. How old are you?ĬHILD: I'm 5 years old and I have a dog in a house. This is the transcript of the Monday morning 911 call 5-year-old Tia Hernlen made after she found her mother dead or dying and father badly hurt in the bedroom of their New Smyrna Beach home:ĬHILD: I think there is a bullet on the floor.ĬHILD: And there is blood, coming out of my dad's mouth and he fell off the bed.ĬHILD: She is, I don't know, I think they're dead. Sheriff Johnson said Tia Hernlen is with family TRANSCRIPT "This is a very quiet neighborhood," Lake Drive resident Pete Hornby said. Most of the Hernlens' neighbors, many of whom did not wish to be identified, were also shocked. "I had no idea until a cop came out and told my daughter that he (Johnson) had died."Ĭoni McKellar said David Johnson was neighborly, and she never noticed any problems at the house. "I wondered what in the world was going on," he said. Neighbors along both quiet streets, which lie only a few miles apart, were taken aback by the triple shooting.Īgnus McKellar, who was staying with his daughter in the house across from Johnson's, said he didn't know what to think when officers with guns drawn descended on Swan Avenue shortly after 10 a.m. The trial on the stalking charge was set for May 2. He was scheduled for trial May 9, according to court records. Johnson had been arrested in November on charges of cultivation of marijuana, possession of steroids and possession of drug paraphernalia. Julie Hernlen told deputies Johnson had driven by the house several times and harassed them because he thought she and her husband had informed on him to law enforcement about drug activity at the Swan Avenue residence, Davidson said. The unemployed New Smyrna Beach resident was accused in court documents of stalking the couple and threatening their family in December and January. When they entered his home, they found him dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.Īeneas Hernlen was airlifted to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where he remained in critical condition Monday night.ĭavid Johnson was no stranger to the Hernlen family, deputies said. Investigators have not disclosed what linked the double shooting to Johnson. Several hours after finding the couple, deputies went to Johnson's Swan Avenue home. There, he shot them with an undisclosed type of gun then fled back to his home. Investigators believe Johnson forced his way into the back of the Hernlens' small, single-story yellow house in the 100 block of Ellison Avenue and walked into the couple's bedroom. "And the dispatcher did a wonderful job." "The little girl did a magnificent job," he said. Sheriff Ben Johnson described the recorded conversation as "chilling" during a news conference at the scene Monday afternoon. The youngster told Choufani she never saw her parents' assailant.Ĭhoufani used her voice to keep the youngster calm and on the line until a deputy arrived about four minutes later. "I said 'mommy and daddy' and they didn't even answer. "Where is your mommy?" Choufani asked in a soothing voice. "There is blood coming out of my dad's mouth and he fell off the bed." "I think there is a bullet on the floor," the youngster told sheriff's 911 dispatcher Donna Choufani. While her name is omitted from the recordings of the 911 tape released Monday afternoon, deputies at the scene confirmed her name. Investigators said Monday the Hernlens had given them no information on Johnson.īut it was a little girl's taped 911 call at 2:58 a.m., after being awakened by the gunshots, that told the personal story of the tragedy. The couple had filed complaints against Johnson, accusing him of stalking them because he believed they had turned him in to law enforcement for drug activity, public records show. ![]() Johnson then returned to his Swan Avenue residence and killed himself, deputies said. and shot the couple as their daughter slept in the next room. Volusia County sheriff's investigators believe the couple were the victims of David Edward Johnson, 33, whom they had accused of stalking them because he believed they had turned him in for drug activity.ĭeputies believe he broke into the Hernlen home, which is just outside city limits, shortly before 3 a.m. ![]() Her 29-year-old husband, Aeneas, was critically wounded.

![]() ![]() ![]() But the dev's are always working to improve things under the hood, and have regular content updates to keep ya coming back for more. There are a coupla drawbacks with crashes and network timeouts (annoyingly during an epic "we are winning this" games). The graphics are outstanding and i think the dev's have done a good job with the sound, voice overs (which are a good giggle) and ambient music/sounds. Great for getting a few matches in, whilst on a coffee break. Its fairly fast paced game, with most matches ranging from 1-7 minutes. I really like the representation of card play as characters (minions). If you want a game of endless hours of frustration and feeling like you are getting nowhere, this is the game for you! If you want a real game with great community and balanced, then try League of legends, by far outstrips MM.Ī very interesting twist on a combat card game. The card selection is to vast and only a few cards decide a game, ones that get spammed over and over, and a far to OP (Nyvirs breath for instance.) This highlights a very unbalanced game with the vast number of cards, just useless. Betadwarf stated that they wanted to go down the "friendship game route", but with MM they have failed. Constant disconnects, a useless reconnect feature, horrible matchmaking and a toxic community. With their lack of dealing with the real issues of the game, and focussing on money grabbing, they have now a very broken game. Over the time I have been playing, the developers have systematically destroyed what used to be a great game. Achieving victory from an underdog position through superior play is a blast.Īfter over 2000 hours of playing this game, I would not now recommend MM. Most of the remainder will be decks setup to counter the meta.įor me, the best part is taking a deck and becoming comfortable enough with it that you can counter strong meta decks or even decks that take advantage of the weaknesses of your deck. When a strong meta emerges, fully two-thirds of the decks you face will be so similar as to be identical. It won't take you long to realize just how easy it is to steal decks from other players. ![]() The deck construction mechanic is fairly straightforward where you attempt build a deck that takes advantage of synergies between the cards and your master's powers. Those cards (minions/spells/etc) then autonomously follow their developer coded instructions in eliminating other minions or making their way to attack the opposing master(s). The basic concept of the game is fairly simple, build a deck of cards that you instantiate into the arena. I've been hooked every since and have spread the love to many others. We were looking for a simple time waster while we waited on a group of friends playing some other game we didn't care for. A buddy of mine and I picked this game up on a lark a couple of years back. ![]() ![]() The piano tie from the final release is also at this location.The last tie in this level is over the piano, it uses the Basic (Beta) texture.There is another tie under the cake (there is a tie under the cake in the final release), the difference is that it uses the Basic (Beta) texture.The first tie is attached to the door at the beginning, it uses the Basic (Beta) texture.Octodad is wearing his normal suit at the start.The intro doesn't use the same music as the final release.There are no people in the wedding except for Scarlet and Octodad (if you consider Octodad a person).The music doesn't change when Scarlet receives her ring.The intro cutscene doesn't include Scarlet complaining about Octodad being late and there is no man at the beginning telling Octodad that he's late.There is no cutscene after Octodad beats Chef Fujimoto.Gnomes only need to be hit once for them to fall.Stacy doesn't say anything about the bird house falling down.Scarlet doesn't complain when Octodad steps on her flowers.The gnomes are propped up instead of standing on the ground.Scarlet has no talking animation and continues to hold out her hand after Octodad has taken his coffee.Octodad doesn't need to pick up the tickets after opening the package.The package contains four aquarium tickets.The package has to be opened using scissors that spawn in a random location in the dining room.After Octodad has made his coffee scarlet asks him to open the package that was delivered.The kids are never inside the house and spawn outside instead.The level has a cutscene at the start that shows the alarm clock.Chef Fujimoto's Octodad (2010) model is used as a placeholder.The boxes in the chef chase are using a placeholder model.There are only blue milk jugs except for the chocolate milk jug and singular milk carton.The kids have their Octodad 1 models even though they have the new models in the House level.The cereal shopper says "What are you doing?" if Octodad gets close.The cereal shopper has no animation for taking the cereal so it flies into her shopping cart instead.There's a woman at the start of the level, her model is a retextured Scarlet.The level uses a different more realistic skybox.There are no doors at the start of the level.During the cutscene Gervason's Chapter Heading is displayed.The level has a cutscene at the start that shows the different parts of the grocery store.The colors used in the tip HUD is similar but slightly different from the chapter headings.Instead of the text being built into the image (like the chapter headings), the text and images are added in-game.The subtitle is (In which a normal human gets ready for his big day!).The subtitle is (In which fatherly deeds are done in broad daylight.).The subtitle is (In which prices are slashed and produce is smashed.).The tip in the Home Sweet Home level tells you to press TAB instead of Escape to see all objectives. ![]()
![]() ![]() The mockumentary style also adds a unique flavor to the series, something hardly seen in sitcoms. ![]() Critically and commercially successful, it is a must-watch for audiences who enjoy family-based sitcoms. The series won the Emmy Award For Outstanding Comedy five consecutive times. The show is told in a mockumentary form, and is about three different modern families- one is a nuclear family, other one is the family of a same-sex couple, while the third one is where a man and his children live with his wife and stepchildren. ‘Modern Family’ was created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan when the two of them were one day discussing their own families and the problems they face have changed through the ages. Many celebrities like Robert Downey Jr., Rihanna, and Britney Spears have admitted of being fans of the show. The highly satirical tone of the show has received widespread acclaim. Interestingly, decrease in ratings made Fox cancel the show in 2000, but it was bought by Cartoon Network, aired again, and suddenly became a phenomenon, and has now been successfully going on since. The show uses a lot of metafictional humor, where a character breaks the fourth wall to make a joke within scenes. They also have a dog, Brian, who can talk, and always enjoys a martini at times. The series tells the story of the Griffin family comprising of Peter and Lois Griffin, parents of three children- Meg, Chris, and Stewie. Family Guy (1999-)Ĭreated by Seth MacFarlane, ‘Family Guy’ is one of the most popular animated sitcoms ever, and has developed a cult following since its inception. Betsy Brand of ‘ Breaking Bad‘ fame plays the role of Heather in the series. The cast of ‘Life in Pieces’ has been widely praised for their strong performances, and the offbeat approach to presentation. Ann Gilbert, Jordan Peele, Fortune Feimster, and Martin Mull are among the leading actors in the series. Each episode has four short snippets dealing with different stories. The story follows three different generations of the family, and the story is told through numerous perspectives. ‘Life in Pieces’ was created by Justin Andler and deals with the life of the Short family. Critics have widely praised the writing of the show, with many popular publications calling the series finale one of the best finales in television history. The show makes fun of NBC itself, along with their practises and customs. ![]() Alec Baldwin plays the role of Jack Donaghy, a bossy network executive who always forces his decisions upon others. The Tracy Jordan character is played by Tracy Morgan, who is also best friends with Lemon. ![]() Fey is also the creator of ’30 Rock’ herself. ’30 Rock’ is a self-referential show by NBC where the lead character of Liz Lemon (played by Tina Fey) is showrunner for a comedy sketch shown on the network called ‘TGS with Tracy Jordan’. Interestingly, ‘Community’ was inspired by ‘Arrested Development’ to follow the single-camera style. Critics have praised the show for following a solid structure and having an existential undertone in the writing. There are other students who also play a significant part in the show. He falls for a girl in his class called Britta Perry, but she does not seem to be that interested in him. The story starts off with the character of Jeff Winger (played by Joel McHale), who has enrolled himself in Greendale Community College after being fired from his law firm for falsely claiming that he has a bachelor’s degree. You can watch several of these shows like Arrested Development on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime.Ĭreated by Dan Harmon, ‘Community’ is another highly acclaimed comedy show, and it tells the story of a group of students in a community college. Anyway, here’s the list of TV series similar to Arrested Development that are our recommendations. Over the years, there have been several shows that thematically resemble Arrested Development, but let’s be honest nothing compares the uniqueness of AD. ![]() ![]() ![]() This compact device has 3 connection points, main battery, secondary battery, and pre-wired ground. So there will be a small parasitic draw for balancing both batteries during that minute. The device stays on for less than a minute between shutting off your vehicle and running parallel with your main battery. When installed correctly, you can run power into your secondary battery without affecting the main starting battery. This is a smart battery isolator, charger, and jump starter all rolled into 1 palm-sized device. If you’re running a second battery, I’d highly recommend getting this. Apparently solenoids do not from my research so far. The isolator it’s self induces a bit of a voltage drop. I am not just talking about the drop because of the length of the cable run to the rear of the vehicle. Of course that may not have been enough to turn over my engine considering the starter battery was for the most part, completely depleted.Īlso, I was not aware that an isolator create a voltage drop going to the second battery. ![]() If they made one that could draw say 400 to 500 A I would’ve been much happier. It would be nice if I could pull more than 150 A though. Again, this device is working as it was designed. After doing more research, maybe what I really need, is a continuous duty solenoid. However I did not ruin the isolator itself because of its built in circuit breaker. Well the starting battery needed more than 150 A to turn it over. I thought great I have this new gizmo, so I press the button so that I could drop current from my secondary battery. After leaving town for a few days, and returning, my starting battery was down to 3 V. That parasitic battery draw that I mentioned earlier. This way I can just reach over and manually hit the switch to connect both batteries, for easy starting if the first battery is low. However I installed this on the interior of my car. It would at least be nice to have some kind of manual override. However, the fact that I only have to hook up the positives from each battery to this unit and then a simple grounding of this unit, makes this something I can easily live with. It’s somehow supposed to detect the true voltage of the first battery and not start charging the second battery until a certain voltage level on the first battery is present. It detects the 14 and immediately starts charging the second battery. I’m getting exactly 14 volts off of my alternator. The second thing is that it starts charging the second battery faster than I would like. The first reason is that it doesn’t come with something to cover the positive terminal’s. There are only two small reasons why I wouldn’t give this a five out of five. This works very much as stated in the description. I just cut it in half where it ran through the cab of my vehicle and installed the device in between. The largest of course, is the four gauge wire to my stereo amplifiers. So now I can use those extra leads, to move one circuit at a time to the rear battery. I am fortunate enough to have several leads, originally for the accessories, that run all the way to the rear. The nice thing is that I’ll be able to easily figure out if it’s just my accessories, or if it’s something running off of the ECU that won’t shut down. I bought an AGM deep cycle battery for the accessory battery. ![]() The second reason why I bought this, is because I run a lot of accessories and I’m installing a second battery for towing purposes and the accessories. The first reason is because I have a parasitic draw on my starting battery.

If a consumer uses multiple cards, each one would need to be validated by AVS. ![]() Pasinli said another challenge involves address verification services (AVS), an anti-fraud tool that allows merchants to see if the submitted billing address matches that on file with the card issuing bank. Invariably, these shopping carts are configured to only accept a single credit card at checkout,” Pasinli said. Merchants typically use a third-party shopping cart vendor to help facilitate the checkout process. “The primary inhibitor is a technical issue. Gift cards don’t require the same verification that credit cards do, according to Pasinli. ![]() Source: research, October 2022 Reasons why split payments aren’t commonly accepted Verification issues did a spot-check of 10 online retailers and found only one that does allow the customer to use two credit cards for one transaction at checkout. e-commerce sites that allow multiple credit cards for one order. It’s difficult, but not impossible, to find U.S. Amazon didn’t respond to requests for comment about its split-payment policies. While Target stores allow customers to use more than one credit card per sale - “Our checkout registers can process multiple credit cards in one transaction,” among other “multiple payment method sales,” Target states on its website that “ only accepts one credit card payment per order.” However, the site does allow customers to combine a credit card with up to 10 Target gift cards for one order.Ī company spokesman confirmed that doesn’t accept multiple credit cards for online transactions and does support use of a Target gift card plus a credit card but had no other comment on the subject. Online retail giant Amazon states on its website: “You can split payment between one of the accepted credit or debit cards and an Gift Card, but you can’t split payment among multiple cards.” Amazon also prevents customers from splitting payment between credit cards and prepaid Visa, Mastercard and American Express cards. Technology, security and expense are among the probable stumbling blocks preventing e-commerce sites from supporting multiple-card payments, experts say. While retailers accept a growing array of payment forms, and some brick-and-mortar stores do accept multiple cards for one transaction, shoppers are hard-pressed to find online stores that will allow them to combine two or more cards for one sale. “In the 17-plus years I’ve been involved with online payments, I’ve never seen a single shopping cart offer me the option to use multiple credit cards at checkout,” said Rey Pasinli, executive director at payment processing company Total-Apps, in a previous interview. Of the 10 e-commerce retailers spot-checked, we were only able to find one that did ( see chart below). Internet stores may allow you to combine a gift card with a credit card when you make a purchase, but they rarely let customers use two credit cards, or a credit and debit card mix, to do the same. Most online merchants won’t allow you to split your payment. This is for a few reasons: technology and verification, mostly, when the payment method is being processed. Seems like a good solution, right? Probably not.įor the most part, though retailers permit split payments in person, they don’t accept them online. Since your credit card balance has grown uncomfortably high, you decide to split the payment between that card and the debit card from your bank, where the balance is uncomfortably low. You quickly click it into the shopping cart. ![]() You’re shopping online and find the perfect wedding gift for your friends, and it’s on sale. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Assess patients suspected of having mild cognitive impairment This enables you to evaluate the effectiveness of medications or treatments and make any necessary adjustments.
