What it says it isPros: Small, portable, and strait to the point. Works well and is what it was expected to be with out any high expectations. Cons: Being that it is blu-ray player, It should have come with a actual blu-ray player software. Other Thoughts: It's worth what I paid, and as simple as using VLC for a media player and done. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great hardware, but needs updated softwarePros: Fast, stylish and pretty quiet. I bought this to use with my new laptop, which doesn't have an optical drive, and so far, the performance of the drive itself has been outstanding. I've been able to read and burn CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs efficiently without any problems. Cons: The software included with the drive does not include an updated Blu-Ray player software. Mine included CyberLink PowerDVD 9, which can play some Blu-Ray movies, but not all. The newer Blu-Ray Discs (i.e. those released from 2013 on) use a newer encryption system that PowerDVD 9 doesn't support. You'll need to get player software that's more up-to-date to play newer blu-ray movies, and that software can be expensive. For DVDs and CDs, it's been fine, it just needs new software for Blu-Rays. Did you find this review helpful? |
Slags DisksPros: It works sometimes Cons: Just a terrible drive. Slags disks left and right, how can they release such buggy hardware? Other Thoughts: I stopped buying Asus motherboards after building nothing but, now I'll never buy any hardware from them. What happened to their once great company? 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Terrible, don't buy.Pros: It looks nice. Cons: None of the machines I tried it on would recognize the drive at all. Other Thoughts: Tried it on a few Windows 7 machines (32 bit & 64 bit) and none of them would recognize this drive at all. Tried restarting with the drive connected, refreshing device manager, changing BIOS options, etc. The drive got power and would open but would never show up in device manager on any computer. Also I bought the drive when it was on sale on a business trip, and didn't get home to try it out until well after 30 days past the invoice date so I guess I'm stuck with a $67 paper weight and a few bluray movies I can't watch. Fantastic! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Really Fast DeliveryPros: received next day on free shipping (really - ordered Sunday, arrived Monday!!) Cons: none Other Thoughts: plays CD's & DVD's, bought it to play Blu-Ray at 1080p, but don't have any yet (guess I'll have to rent one to try it out). Will review again later if I have any problems. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
WAIT FOR IT! - Won't reliably read Blu-ray commerical discsPros: Compact, stylish Cons: Does not reliably read many commercial Blu-rays, very short USB cable. Other Thoughts: On my second unit which proves as unreliable as the first. About seventeen minutes into a film, the drive cannot read many discs. Picture freezes while you listen to read mechanism sound like it trying to locate something on the disc. After about 5 mins of looking at a freeze frame, if you're patient enough - film may resume. Manufacturer Response: 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Descent, but they messed up the regionPros: Sleek design. Cons: As another reviewer noticed, it comes with a messed up region out of the box. Initially, it wouldn't play any DVDs! Other Thoughts: The drive is powered by USB (2-ports). This is a PRO and a CON. It's nice to have fewer cables, but it takes up two ports and the documentation says you can't use a USB hub (although I haven't tried) 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
not recognizedPros: small, with stand Cons: not recognized by two comps, one with win 8. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great DrivePros: Reads CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Works well. Haven't burned anything yet. Just disc burning software comes with it, NOT blu-ray movie-playing software. Cons: The drive would not play either DVD movies or Blu-ray movies at first. The Region was not set. Other Thoughts: Even though Windows 7 told me that the Region of the drive was set to 1 (North America), it was not really set. So if you're unable to play movies with this drive SET the Region to 1, even if Windows tells you it is already set to 1 (Device Manager, Drive Properties, DVD Region). 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excellent DrivePros: So far this has been a great drive. I've played about a dozen Blu Ray movies without issue, as well as burned a few DVD's. Drive is very nice looking, well balanced (quiet), and feels very durable. I haven't noticed any lag through USB, which I've noticed with other branded external drives (admittedly, those were older products...close to when Blu Ray drives hit the market). Cons: Included software is lacking and does not include playback for Blu Ray...I had planned on using different software anyway. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Elaborate sex tape scams pay ... just ask "Teen Mom" star Farrah Abraham who finally struck a deal for her on-camera banging session ... in the HIGH six figures.
Last time we saw Farrah she was marching into the Vivid offices with her father and daughter in tow to talk dollars and cents with porn king Steve Hirsch -- who's been interested in buying the "Teen Mom"/James Deen XXX vid from the get-go.
Even though Farrah said she was considering other offers ... sources close to the situation tell TMZ, Farrah finally inked a deal with Vivid ... for close to a million dollars.
Yes, nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
Not only that, we've learned the 70-minute-long skin flick will be titled: "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom."
Backdoor moms rule.
Well, she's gonna need that money to pay for Valtrex. Herpes the gift that keeps on giving.
This is just an ADVERTISEMENT- TMZ has as much to do with Vivid as they do with the Kardashians...that's why the constant updates on Vivid related stories, and Kardashian Kow updates. I wish the bias, spin, and advertising was a little less obvious, it's getting nauseating.
"Private tape made public..."...? WTF? Who hires a pro, at VIVID's STUDIO, to do a "private" tape....? 'cmon!
So This Porn-Slut Got Paid $900,000.00 Dollars For The 1 Hour and 10 Minutes Of Pure Sex................Me Can't Wait To See This Skank / Whore Getting Nailed Hard.......LOL
....good for Farrah! She's a lost soul -as proven by the way she has her young CHLD in tow! - and I hope that Farrah feels as though she is "banging" every PERVERTED WEIRDO who buys her flick too! Ha! From TEEN MOM to F'd UP MOM in no time flat!
She brought the kid for sympathy and it worked, even on a cynical porn mogul. Hopefully he knows what he's doing.
Are they going to be able to photoshop her horse-face on the video or is that just for still shots?

A Vent About Lent
And Lent? My heart would quickly whisper: look at what you've done. You gave it up.
"In the case of Lent & Ashes, it would surely be an idol for me. Oh….look at me. I've got some super holy marking on my head. Yes…that's right. I understand some things about this stuff. Come hear me wax eloquently about it." My heart is deceptive & wicked. I need a redeemer. I... Continue Reading
Why I Don't Trust Your Interpretation Of Providence
Beware the man who feels his way through life based on "signs," while ignoring Scripture.
"Great errors have been committed under the mantra of "God led me," uninformed by Scripture. Yes, God leads by providence- but one's guesswork at what God may be doing is no substitute for immersion in His Word." "God showed me," my friend said. "He showed me His plan, I just had to recognize the signs."... Continue Reading
Afrocentricity And The Church, Part 4
When we are mindful of not making it a religion, an Afrocentric focus can help us see and appreciate the beautiful diversity among people of African descent.
"Rather than cause the black church to focus on the sanctification and deification of African history as a means of saving the black community, there is a more redeeming, biblical way of understanding Afrocentricity and the church." In this series, we've defined Afrocentricity, the church and briefly examined incompatible parts of Afrocentricity and Christianity.... Continue Reading
Rediscovering Jesus' Hymnbook
We know what songs Jesus sang: He sang the Psalms.
"You don't have to be a seminary student or a missionary to Peru to step into the world of psalm singing. You only need to do two things.

The 160-Year Christian History Behind What's Happening in Ukraine
How we have misunderstood Russia, the Crimean Peninsula, and supposedly secular Europe.
"From the 15th century, the dominant Muslim power was the Turkish Ottoman Empire, which ruled over millions of Christians—Armenians, Greeks, Slavs, and others. As Ottoman power crumbled, European Christian nations pressed hard on its shrinking borders, annexing its territory." In recent days, the Crimean peninsula has been at the heart of what some have...

Menlo Park Votes Overwhelmingly To Leave PCUSA, Join ECO
Members of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in Menlo Park, Calif. voted by a 93 percent margin Sunday to leave the Presbyterian Church (USA) and join the ECO.

Members... Continue Reading
George Whitefield's Love For Christ And Sinners
George Whitefield's intense passion was kindled by his own deepening love for God and Jesus Christ, which in turn ignited his compassion for lost sinners.
"Fervent love lay at the very center of Whitefield's effectiveness as an evangelist. As he preached, his love for sinners seemed to overpower them. "In all his discourses," John Gillies observes, "there was a fervent and melting charity, and earnestness of persuasion, an outpouring of redundant love." George Whitefield's intense passion was kindled by his... Continue Reading
Lent: Of Good Intentions, Spiritual Disciplines, and Christian Freedom
The recent controversy over the endorsement of Lent by some leading evangelicals is something that has been developing for several years.
"When those who identify with aspects of Reformed theology however, borrow "spiritual disciplines" that the Reformed churches considered and rejected they are unintentionally creating the pre-conditions for greater problems." Carter Lindberg tells the story of how the Reformation began to break out in Zürich in 1522: During Lent of 1522, Zwingli was at the... Continue Reading
The Old Gospel vs. the New Gospel
The new gospel doesn't save as the old gospel because it is not intended to. The new gospel makes it possible for men to save themselves.
It has affected the church because those who came to know Christ under the old gospel, are starving in the pews because of the new gospel. These new gospel preachers are not preaching reverence, sin, repentance… they are preaching better marriages, better families, better politics even. But they are not calling men to fall upon...

If It Looks Like Rome …
Many churches seem to be drawn to practices that have more in common with Rome than with Geneva.
In the end, I'm not sure why so many Catholic practices are finding their way into Reformed Presbyterian churches. It seems to me that these things have the "feel" of worship, and maybe that is the attraction. Maybe there is boredom or discontent with our own traditions. Maybe there is a desire to "do church"...

Has Failure Become A Virtue?
These days, obedience has gotten a bad name. And failure has gotten a make-over.
Ecstatic failurism asserts that all our attempts to obey will fail, thereby making us the recipients of greater grace. But God does not exhort us to obey just to teach us that we cannot hope to obey. He exhorts us to obey to teach us that, by grace, we can obey, and therein lies hope. The hope of... Continue Reading
Eight of the Most Significant Struggles Pastors Face

Why Every Church Will Always Need a Women's Ministry
A few blogs recently suggested that the idea of a women's ministry in a church is somehow passé. I beg to differ
So let's begin with the biblical basis for a women's ministry in the local church. Have you noticed that in social settings the women tend to cluster together? There are aspects of the feminine life that can only be understood by other women. Women profit from being with other females–they learn from each other and... Continue Reading
Bryan College Faculty Vote 'No Confidence' in President over Adam and Eve

Baking Cakes for Caesar: Why We Need Freedom to Say 'No'

Southern Poverty Law Center Biased in Labeling Family Research Council a 'Hate Group,' Academic Study Argues

U.S. Evangelicals on the Defense Over Uganda's New Anti-Homosexuality Act

Now, American evangelicals who insist they never supported... Continue Reading

Family Worship 101
Family worship is not merely a religious discipline; it is a meeting with the triune God in a spirit of adoration by means of three key ingredients.
"Family worship is an indispensible instrument for instilling both old and young with a consciousness of the Lord, His Word, and our call to worship. In research for a recent book, George Barna demonstrates that parents who pass along to their children the baton of spiritual maturity and vitality have one thing in common: they... Continue Reading
Where Preferences Go To Die
If a church doesn't teach sound doctrine, preferences don't matter, since one's soul is at risk.
"I'm convinced many of our problems with the church result from running away from difficult or uncomfortable situations rather than persevering through them. Since we don't enjoy facing our fears or finding ourselves in challenging circumstances, the thought of escape brings great comfort." I love my church. Without question it's a community unified in...

By Us, About Us: Reflections On 12 Years A Slave And Literature

As Christians who are to be serious about proclaiming Christ in every area of the society we live in, to leave literature out of the picture is to leave a dangerous stone unturned." I remember the first time I ever realized that a story... Continue Reading
On Scripture Regulated Worship
It is on the ground of this robust understanding of the authority of the Word of God that we assert that Christian churches must follow the worship of God regulated by God.
"We deny that God desires or is pleased by innovation in matters of faith. We deny that silence from God's Word on the circumstances of worship renders them amoral, or their implementation a matter of indifference." We affirm that the worship of God is regulated through his Word. Innovation, however well intentioned, is "will... Continue Reading

Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally, challenged by Governor John Kasich to outcompete neighboring states for jobs and capital, points to a plan his agency used with GE Aviation to fast track permits. What normally could take up to 18 months to approve took just five months. Because it was so successful, the system of using six people instead of two to process the permit may be modeled around the state and nation.
GE Aviation's urgency
The Environmental Protection Agency is working to finalize a plan that would essentially ban coal-fire power plants in their present form. New ones could not be built without having cutting-edge technology that dramatically reduces CO2. It's called carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). The proposal, announced last month, by EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy at the National Press Club, is not expected to be a requirement for more than a year.

Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE -- The Cincinnati Reds' offense had a tough time against Kyle Lohse on Friday night.
The Brewers' starter retired 23 consecutive batters at one point and finished with a four-hitter, and Carlos Gomez went 3 for 4 with 5 RBIs, lifting the Brewers to a 5-1 win.The Reds' wild-card lead dropped to 4 1/2 games over the surging Washington Nationals, who have won seven straight games.Ryan Ludwick lost a ball in the lights that went for a key double, and two of Gomez's singles were bloop hits.The Reds struggled against Lohse, but had some hard-hit balls hit directly to infielders."We hit the ball, actually, better than they did," Reds manager Dusty Baker said.Gomez had a two-run single in the first, an RBI single in the third and a two-RBI single in the seventh to account for all of Milwaukee's runs.The Brewers' center fielder was coming off a tough road trip, batting .150, and had hit only .116 against the Reds this season coming into the game."I guess that was his night when things like that happen over and over," Baker said. "But we didn't help ourselves on the defensive side of the ball and with walks."There was not a lot of luck involved in Lohse's fine performance.Cincinnati had three consecutive singles to open the second, but then had 23 batters in a row retired before Jay Bruce walked with two outs in the ninth."Pitching a game like this as a spoiler -- it feels good," Lohse said. "You've got to look at it as your playoff situation."These guys are more than likely going to be in the playoffs," he said. "We're not going to knock them out or anything. But to be able to go out there and pitch against a playoff-caliber team, it makes you feel good. That lineup can swing it quite a bit."The Reds have dropped three of four."We made some hard outs, but you've got to give him a little bit of credit," Ludwick said. "He missed a lot of bats tonight. He had a lot of balls off the end of the bat."Lohse (10-9) started the season 1-6 after missing most of spring training, signing with the Brewers as a free agent on March 25. Since the slow start, he has gone 9-3.After allowing three consecutive singles to open the second, Lohse recorded an out on Devin Mesoraco's RBI fielder's choice grounder to third."He had a little trouble there in the second, but he really threw the ball well all game and even got better the later we got in the game," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said.Lohse, who went 30-11 for St. Louis over two seasons in 2011-12, walked one and struck out five. He rebounded from a poor outing in his last start, where he allowed seven runs in five innings in an 8-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 6.Reds starter Mat Latos (14-6) allowed five runs -- the most he has given up since the All-Star break -- and seven hits and three walks while striking out four in 6 2/3 innings."It's just one of those days where you just have to hit the reset button and go after them again the next time you go out," Latos said.Norichika Aoki led off the first with a four-pitch walk. One out later, Ludwick appeared to lose sight of Jonathan Lucroy's sharp liner to left field, and it went by him to the wall for a double.Aramis Ramirez was hit by a pitch to load the bases, and Gomez hit a bloop single to right, scoring Aoki and Lucroy to make it 2-0.Ludwick, Jack Hannahan and Zack Cozart had consecutive singles to open the second, and Mesoraco grounded into a fielder's choice to third that scored Ludwick.Latos hit a sacrifice bunt to move Mesoraco to second, but Shin-Soo Choo struck out to end the inning. The Reds were retired in order in each inning until Bruce's walk in the ninth.Milwaukee loaded the bases in the seventh, and Gomez hit a two-run single off reliever J.J. Hoover to make it 5-1.Game notes
Gomez also had five RBIs on July 12, 2009, while with Minnesota against the Chicago White Sox. ... Ramirez was removed after the first inning after being hit by a pitch from Latos. The team said he suffered a contusion on his left wrist and was day to day.

Step 1: What you need...
- Rifle,Shotgun or Assault Rifle. I'd prefer a good reliable sks carbine. semi auto, 7.62x39 mm ammo (same as the ak) and a five round clip. Good all around package...and it's a relatively cheap to get.
- 300-600 rounds of ammo. Because you never know.
- Good comfy backpack. You'll need a lot of storage for you gear.
- Sleeping bag. You will have to sleep sooner or later.
- Ear plugs. To drown out the moaning of the undead.
- Red glow sticks. Good light source.
- Hachet or machete. Both make great close quarters weapons and both are excellent survival tools.
- Folding shovel. Another good close quarters weapon... also good for digging latrines.
- Local map. Preferably a state or provincial map with roads/backroads and bodies of water.
- Compass. To work with your map and help you navigate.
- Self powered flashlight and radio. You need to see and keep up with current events.
- Rope. You'll need a lot, say a few hundred feet. And make sure it's of good quality.
- 8' x 10' tarp. Makes a good, quick tent.
- First Aid Kit. Make sure its not a cheap one, and put it in a waterproof bag that gause won't do any good wet.
- 12 big thick garbage bags. Good for everything from waterproofing your pack to making a poncho, to making a shower.
- 2 Rolls Paper towels. Good for toilet paper and snot rags.
- 2 or 3 sets of spare clothing. Obvious reasons...
- Dehydrated/Non perishable Food. MREs, Ramen noodles, canned food, granola, beef jerky it's all good.
- 2 Litres of Clean Drinking water and a means of getting more. Meaning either have a filter kit, or purification tablets or a stove to boil water.
- Deck of Cards and a novel. You will get bored.
- 2 pocket knives. The uses are endless.
- Multitool. again they can do anything from opening cans to cutting wire.
- Credit Card. Who knows when you'll need plastic...and it can jimmy locks.
- 4 Burlap sacks. If you'd like to make a quick foxhole/barricade.
- Waterproof matches/ flint and steel. You'll need fire.
I'm not big on rifles unless they're sniper rifles, and I can take down my target from a safe distance. In terms of zombies, a Japanese katana is curved, single edged, and made to be drawn and to kill in one swift movement. If you know what you're doing with one of those, it would be ten times more useful than a gun because once the head is off (these can cut through a block of ice in one movement), the zombie isn't going to try to bite you anymore, and you can move on to another one. You don't have to worry about reloading, the gun jamming, or counting rounds, you just kill. Guns are always good for an emergency, just carry a Sig Sauer P229.
Optional: plenty of carrot, bean, corn, spinach, tomato seeds, provided that you live somewhere warm.
You're right, not everyone can handle the recoil of a gun, but some of us can. I was 13 when I started learning how to shoot, I've never missed, and I handle the recoil better than my father and brothers-I'm a girl.
I don't mean to do that shooting, running stuff as a first resort. Only if I am already spotted and an excessive group is moving in, and there is nowhere to run.
Use a gun
Headshots, while hard to achieve with a bow, are doable. I have an average of 4:7 human brain shots (between nose and top of head, full head width) at 20m. My bow shoots about 250 fps with 30 inch arrows for the first 20m. One of those arrows weighs about 300 grains, which makes their kinetic energy about 41 foot/pounds. According to ChaCha, around 33 ft/lbs are needed to crack the human skull (where I know not). That means that a pointed arrow would easily have enough power to make it into the brain. Lastly, an archer's arm doesn't get very tired. Mostly its the pulling fingers, but with a glove that pain is minimal.
However, one can EASILY carry 1000 rounds for a carbine. It is not that heavy to carry or hard to pack. It will take up maybe as much space as a quiver, but probably less. Also, if you have a gun, the rate of fire is greatly increased, and you can kill 30 zombies before reloading. If you are good and have trained with this gun, you could probably get about 30 kills in a minute or two.
All in all, i believe a bow is crossbow is good defensively, but the carbine is so much better if you are on the run.
Get a gun or become a zombies snack. Sure, ammo isn't something you can make on your own with a knife in the woods, but, you can also carry enough that you live long enough to find more. There's no risking infection reclaiming spent arrows covered in zombie brains. Sure, hitting a moving target while malnourished, scared out of your mind and starving is more difficult, even with a gun, but that's why a clip holds so many bullets, retries are expected. Also, double taps, if you learned anything from Zombieland...why they never use silencers in movies, I'll never understand, they may not make firearms silent but they sure reduce the sound, at least the whole town doesn't head your way. But I digress...
Anyway, gun strategy cannot really be compared to bow strategy because a big part of bow strategy is that you don't actually let zombies locate you in the first place. Then none of that fear or inaccuracy will crop up.
(there are materials that can be added to a bowstring to take the vibrational energy and disperse it, further reducing the "twang" while only reducing the arrow velocity a tiny amount i.e. fine down)
Guns do run out of ammo, and it wont last forever. Making firearms is a lost art, and there is no way that you will learn to make ammo for modern guns. However, with a good carbine or accurate rifle, you can take out multiple zombie in the time it takes for someone to take out one with a bow. Rifles are much more accurate and way more powerful than bows. If a zombie grabs you, you cannot kill it with a bow. You can, however, kill it with a pistol.
Bows and crossbows have their downsides and benefits too. They are slow, not nearly as accurate as rifles, and they take a lot of arm strength to use. A good bow with a forty or fifty pound pull takes a lot out of people, especially when you haven't eaten much. Whereas you can break a zombie's skull with the butt of a gun at close quarters, you can't do that with a bow. I you have ever tried to make a bow and arrows, you will find that it isn't easy. The bow needs to have a certain amount of curve, it needs to be flexible while snapping back tot shape quickly. The arrows need to be perfectly straight if you want them to fly in the general direction that you are pointing. Making arrowheads is very hard, while fire hardened wood tips might not be able to punch through a skull. Skulls are really hard, and you wont be able to get a clean shot through the eye. However, crossbows are much more accurate than bows, and if you can make arrows you have almost infinite ammo.
Bow and gun strategies are really not that different. The point is to survive. Just because someone uses a bow doesn't mean that they have infinite wisdom and therefore will not get eaten. You cannot assume that you will find food, or water, or shelter, or not encounter a horde of fifty zombies. In either situation, you need to get the hell out of there.
In the long run, having and using a crossbow is probably better. However, when trying to escape or kill a lot of zombies quickly, a gun is so much better.
Where do you live? Almost every country has an immense stockpile of munitions. If zombies wipe out the human race in short order (like in just about every zombie story ever written) then there will not be that many people left to loot and plunder. Leaving years and decades worth of bad arse bullets to fuel my gun toting rage, bringing the hurt to the zombie hordes. If the military is still around you'll be hiding in the army base with them defending you, if they're not around, you're free to loot. It really depends how the whole infection goes down, but most versions of the mythology have the human race wiped out rather quickly. Aside from that, your biggest threat in dire times is not the zombies or the economy or whatever is causing the hardship, your biggest threat is other humans in the same dire straits as yourself. And well, if you take a bow to a gun fight...see 'The Untouchables" to find out how that will end up. Keeping in mind, it's way easier for a guy with a gun to avoid being seen due to the increased range and lethality. Having a gun doesn't mean you can't hide from zombies...they have silencers too.
It's actually really hard to get an arrow through a skull, much like a .22 cal, glances off the side will happen most often. There's really only a small area in the center skull (from whichever angle you fire from) that will have the force of the shot focused THROUGH the skull, it's like a 2" circle shooting straight from the front or back, maybe 3" from the sides. If you go lower it's under the brain, if you hit the left or right sides, or the top, the shot will most likely be deflected. Most people can't make that shot at any distance...there might be a handful of people on the planet that could do it with a bow or a xbow, even if they used a nice compound bow, I'd doubt there's even a handful who could do it reliably to a moving target.
At any rate, if you make it past the "first few months" and especially "decades" you're pretty much set. I mean you can't get that far without some skills and resources. Also, bows don't last forever. Especially bow strings. They wear out, string wear out fast. Replacements may or may not be easy to come by, depends on how things play out, but after "decades" you're out of luck too. Bullets and twinkies DO have a shelf life, so, we're all going to have to be self sustaining after a while.
When you very first start your arm will get sore. But once your muscles build up, no more soreness, just deadliness.
Id rather have the stuff already on hand especially because you will spend most of your time for the first few years just trying to get a permanent shelter and stable food stores and water supplies, also you wont be able to carry enough of anything for a long term survival/relocation on a bicycle and in a backpack especially if you plan on going out in the middle of nowhere and starting over. However the argument could be made that Im taking a fun thing and over-analyzing it to death, because anyone seriously preparing for a zombie apocalypse needs to stop watching horror movies, and seek entertainment from the opposite sex, and I dont mean the girl on the video game Resident Evil or Tomb Raider ect.
I know half a day of biking doesn't sound far enough to prevent zombie infestation, but my town is small and I have calculated that if zombies randomly pick a direction and go that way, about 400 would come within .5 km of my establishment over several weeks (that is assuming 99% infection rate). If they move in clumps in response to stimuli, though, either almost none will make it or I will have a rather ugly hoard on my hands and will have to evacuate.
I hope its the latter, or was just a typo. :O
Does anybody agree with the golf club idea? In a pinch you could use your 9 iron to brain the zombie caddy or you might even see the jerk that is always on his phone talking really loud when your trying to play, id love to bash his head in

NEW YORK (AP) — Eleven years after terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, the new multibillion-dollar World Trade Center once again dominates the lower Manhattan skyline. Hundreds of construction workers are at the 16-acre site every day, and tourists snap thousands of photos of the two towers that are nearing completion.
Here is a look at the status of the trade center's major components, according to its developers:

This item may be Check for Availability This title in other editionsAt the Hands of Persons Unknown: The Lynching of Black Americaby Philip Dray
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:It is easy to shrink from our country's brutal history of lynching. Lynching is called the last great skeleton in our nation's closet: It terrorized all of black America, claimed thousands upon thousands of victims in the decades between the 1880s and the Second World War, and leaves invisible but deep scars to this day. The cost of pushing lynching into the shadows, however—misremembering it as isolated acts perpetrated by bigots on society's fringes—is insupportably high: Until we understand how pervasive and socially accepted the practice was—and, more important, why this was so—it will haunt all efforts at racial reconciliation.
"I could not suppress the thought," James Baldwin once recalled of seeing the red clay hills of Georgia on his first trip to the South, "that this earth had acquired its color from the blood that had dripped down from these trees." Throughout America, not just in the South, blacks accused of a crime—or merely of violating social or racial customs—were hunted by mobs, abducted from jails, and given summary "justice" in blatant defiance of all guarantees of due process under law. Men and women were shot, hanged, tortured, and burned, often in sadistic, picnic-like "spectacle lynchings" involving thousands of witnesses. "At the hands of persons unknown" was the official verdict rendered on most of these atrocities. The celebrated historian Philip Dray shines a clear, bright light on this dark history—its causes, perpetrators, apologists, and victims. He also tells the story of the men and women who led the long and difficult fight to expose and eradicate lynching, including Ida B. Wells, James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, and W.E.B. Du Bois. If lynching is emblematic of what is worst about America, their fight may stand for what is best: the love of justice and fairness and the conviction that one individual's sense of right can suffice to defy the gravest of wrongs. This landmark book follows the trajectory of both forces over American history—and makes the history of lynching belong to us all. From the Hardcover edition. Synopsis:Winner of the Southern Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction
This extraordinary account of lynching in America, by acclaimed civil rights historian Philip Dray, shines a clear, bright light on American history's darkest stain—illuminating its causes, perpetrators, apologists, and victims. Philip Dray also tells the story of the men and women who led the long and difficult fight to expose and eradicate lynching, including Ida B. Wells, James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, and W.E.B. Du Bois.

This landmark book follows the trajectory of both forces over American history—and makes lynching's legacy belong to us all. Synopsis:A landmark work of unflinching scholarship. -The New York Times
"In this history of lynching in the post-Reconstruction South-the most comprehensive of its kind—the author has written what amounts to a Black Book of American race relations. —The New Yorker A powerfully written, admirably perceptive synthesis of the vast literature on lynching. It is the most comprehensive social history of this shameful subject in almost seventy years and should be recognized as a major addition to the bibliography of American race relations. -David Levering Lewis An important and courageous book, well written, meticulously researched, and carefully argued. -The Boston Globe You don't really know what lynching was until you read Dray's ghastly accounts of public butchery and official complicity. -Time From the Trade Paperback edition. About the AuthorPhilip Dray is the co-author of We Are Not Afraid: The Story of Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney and the Civil Rights Campaign for Mississippi, which was a New York Times Notable Book for 1988. Born in Chicago and raised in Minnesota, Dray now lives in New York City. He has been a contributor to many publications, including Mother Jones, The New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times.

About this blog FLEFF Intern VoicesThe Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view |
Friday, April 5, 2013
Blog posting by Kimberly Capehart, Documentary Studies and Production '16, FLEFF Intern, Cherry Hill, New Jersey
I'm sitting in at what is arguably the most exciting FLEFF event: FLEFF Lab Friday!
Directors, producers, distributors, and scholars have been sitting in Park 220 all day long, speaking with students and amongst themselves about a wide variety of topics.
Right now, Yong Ki Jeong (film director, Couples, Once Upon a Time) and translator, Changhee Chun (Cinema, Ithaca College), Peter Miller (film director, AKA Doc Pommus), Carlos Gutierrez (Cinema Tropical), Bo Wang, (director, China Concerto), Kevin Lee, (dGenerate Films), Dominica Dipio (film director and film scholar), and Vanessa Domico (Outcast Films) are sitting together at the front of the room, waiting to share their secrets of the industry and answer questions.
Moderator Steve Gordon (TVR, Ithaca College) has each guest introduce himself or herself by sharing his or her own personal story. Their backgrounds are all extremely different; some guests started in film, others started with Physics degrees, and still others began their careers as activists.
What did they do to end up where they are? What advice do they have to offer to other people looking to pursue similar careers?
Here are some quotes from the conversation:
Kevin Lee: "Whatever you do, do with a real sense of purpose. Don't do anything because you feel trapped or pressured into it."
Vanessa Domico: "I couldn't agree with Kevin more. Do what you're passionate about. This sounds like a cliche, but I really mean it: embrace the moment. You need to keep your eyes open to see all the opportunities."
Peter Miller: "I had many breaks along the way. I basically apprenticed for a very long time with a lot of different people. Now I make my own films, but working with people who have done this for a while, who really know what they're doing, is so important. It's something I really think we have to do to learn how to tell the stories we want to tell."
Kevin Lee: "A lot of students in the past have been really surprised that I had a day job for about ten years that was completely unrelated to film. If you're planning on going to Los Angeles or New York, looking for your big break, don't expect that things will just fall into place. You need to hustle and work hard."
"Pursue your passion any way you can and stay open to different things. Sometimes things just organically crystalize into opportunities that you never expected. Your life and your career are things that happen when you're busy working on other things."
The group discusses the power of social media, with Lee and Dipio referencing the Kony 2012 video as an example of a film that gained support through outlets like YouTube and Facebook.
Yong Ki Jeong:"Social networking allows films to reach larger, international audiences. Korean filmmakers get more support for international works than they do for domestic works."
Discussing activism, and film's ability to introduce activist notions in the minds of viewers, as well as playing off of Jeong's mentioning of Seoul, South Korea, Miller offers: "Go into a co-production with your soul, do something that means a lot to you."
Peter Miller: "It's especially important, since you're young and trying to change the world, to get inside yourself and realize what you're trying to do. Just because you're trying to make money, doesn't mean you should do something. The world needs your talent to make things better."
Vanessa Domico: "Know yourself and know your strengths and weaknesses. It's good to work with collaborators. A lot of the time you're going to have to assemble a team of people to work with who can fill in your gaps."
The panel is open to questions!
Q: Are there any outlets that are especially supportive of independent films?
Peter Miller: "There are some organizations that give money out to independent films, but the budgets are growing smaller and smaller. Sometimes individual people give money. When asking for money, you need to know two things:
1. Learn to write well. Being able to write about and explain your film is as important as your film itself.
2. Have a sample of your film to show."
Vanessa Domico: "There's also programs like Kickstarter and Indiegogo"
Carlos Gutierrez: "That's an open issue. Sometimes individual fundraising sites like that take away from a larger discussion of independent distribution and production. I think that we need to come together as a community of independent filmmakers to find more sources of funding."
The conversation continues about various sources of funding and questions about receiving and asking for grants. It opens up to a conversation about the need for a close film community with which to collaborate and on which to depend.
Q: If you have something you're very passionate about, but don't think that anyone would be interested in, do you still make it?
Kevin Lee: "That question is different in regards to Chinese film. In China, a lot of things can get banned or removed from the internet, but a lot of Chinese filmmakers are very persistent. Audience is very important, so filmmakers aren't making films just for themselves, they're making films on social issues that they want other people to see.
Carlos Gutierrez: "Thinking about the audience can be tricky, because you're just projecting your own ideas on how the audience will react. I think it's more about the relevance of the film: social and economical relevance is most important."
Dominica Dipio: "Personally, a lot of the filmmakers in my country are independent and self-motivated, and a lot of things that motivate them are relevant social issues and the potential for change. So when I feel passionately about something, I am the first judge of its relevance. But sometimes it turns out to be what people want to hear and what they would like to reflect on."
Q: Do you think having a graduate education is beneficial or necessary in establishing yourself in a film-related career?
Peter Miller: "If you want to teach, you probably need an advanced degree. Teaching is one way that people subsidize their filmmaking habits."
Kevin Lee: "I'm pursuing a higher degree because I'm based in Chicago, and a lot of the community there is academia-based. That's just me, though. Sometimes you can learn more from collaboration or apprenticeship than you can learn in school."
The conversation ends with the discussion of a need for a film community. Use FLEFF as your opportunity to start establishing YOUR own community of filmmakers, audience members, and professionals!

Blog post written by Sarah Lockwood, Cinema & Photography '15, FLEFF Intern, Blairstown, NJ
As a FLEFF Intern for the 2012 season, I have had the pleasure of attending class weekly with two brilliant and inspiring internship coordinators - one of whom is Philip Wilde. Phil was kind enough to spend an extra ten minutes of his evening discussing his background in film, his involvement in FLEFF, and some advice for festival goers this year:
On His Journey to Video
Phil began his college career as a science major at Cornell University, here in Ithaca, NY. However, his true calling began in 1971, the year in which he first picked up a video camera, and "never looked back." Phil operates a production company with his wife - and fellow internship coordinator - Ann Michel. Together they create videos, mostly scientific in nature.
On His Involvement With FLEFF
Seven years ago Phil joined the FLEFF staff, due mostly to his good friend Dr. Patricia Zimmerman, co-director of the film festival. Also based in Ithaca, Dr. Zimmerman knew of Phil and his interest in all subjects technical theatre and video related, and asked him to join the process of running the festival.
Over the years, Phil noted that the most noticeable change in the festival is that it has become "more intellectual", a noticeable evaluation of film and the film environment.
On the Perks of FLEFF
To put it simply, the "excitement of possibilities", that "anything is possible". FLEFF is not limited by the academic world or the real world - it is a place to "make experiments", and revel in the results (in successes and mistakes).
Phil's Advice
"Go to everything you can possibly go to. Talk to everyone you can possibly talk to."
Plain and simple, a film festival is about involvement and communication. Equal interaction with all people present at a festival - interns, directors, guests, crew members, audience members - is crucial.
And most importantly - "Don't talk too much, listen."

text: Accusations of human rights violations in the Palestinian territories [UNICEF backgrounder], not just by Israel but by the PA and Hamas as well, continue to be of international concern. In January, UN Special Rapporteur Richard Falk alleged that Israeli authorities continued to commit illegal acts that threaten the viability of the Palestinian state [JURIST report] in the Palestinian territories, including the killing of four Palestinians by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) [official website]. Last September, a UN panel of experts [UN materials] criticized [JURIST report] investigations carried out by Israel and Hamas into the 2008-2009 conflict in the Gaza Strip [JURIST news archives], but praised the PA's report, which it said comported with international standards. In June 2010, Israel-based rights group B'Tselem [advocacy website] released an annual report [text, PDF; JURIST report] on human rights in the Palestinian territories, which noted that fatalities dropped 80 percent from 2009 to 2010 and that the quality of life had improved in the West Bank, something it attributed to a reduction in security checkpoints and detentions.

There are several options for managing sleep apnea. They include:
People who are overweight are more likely to develop sleep apnea. Therefore, maintaining an ideal weight is important in managing sleep apnea. Before starting a diet or exercise program, talk with your doctor about your plan to make sure it is safe.
Some people breathe better and snore less loudly when sleeping on their sides or stomach. There are simple techniques to keep you from sleeping on your back, including sewing a tennis ball to the back of your pajama top, wearing a soft backpack at night, or placing a pillow under your shoulder.
Dental devices are designed to push the jaw forward. Worn at night, they widen the throat and increase the size of the airway. Dental devices may be used for mild and moderate apnea. Learn more.
Surgery may potentially improve sleep apnea in very specific circumstances. Learn more.
More severe cases of sleep apnea may require CPAP. This common and effective treatment provides pressure to the person's airway through a machine that blows air. The airflow from the CPAP machine is delivered through a mask that fits on the face and covers the nose, or the nose and mouth. This air acts as a splint to keep the airway open during sleep, allowing breathing to become more regular. Snoring stops and restful sleep is restored. Learn more about CPAP.
The Sleep Center at National Jewish Health is the oldest and most comprehensive sleep medicine program in the Denver region.

I purchased 2 of the Eclipse Old fashioned Glasses; mine had air bubbles in them. One quick call to customer service & my replacement order was on the way; they were perfect! I love the weight of these glasses & may "need" to order more!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nynah Love this glass!
I bought 8 Tabla Eclipse glasses when they were first offered, then 8 of the goblets. The glass is very thick, the design is vibrant and the clarity is fantastic wash after wash. I am sad that the line is no longer being carried. These glasses go from casual to formal in a heartbeat and they always brighten a table.
