I aslo think Mike Hamilton from Deeds Of Flesh is an endurance machine on double bass and blastbeats, but while I love Deeds Of Flesh, their drumming is what can REALLY bore me if I'm not in the right mood when listening to them.
ya your right
DM drummers usually have the speed of a fuckin machine gun, but not all of them can do what jazz drummers can, but alot of jazz drummers can do what DM drummers can. so the only reason that DM drummers dont get the recognition they want or deserve or w/e, is because they usually dont do much to impress except for fast shit, PLUS their genre isnt exactly "liked" by normal mainstream

There's has been a very healthy debate for the last 10 or so years over the issue who's the REAL America's team in the NFL and by default fans, critics and former players has labeled the Dallas Cowboys the team the nation cheers for, and that might be true to some extent but when it comes to sheer numbers the Cowboys aren't close to being the favorite team the Nation gets behind. That title goes to the Six-time World Champs PITTSBURGH STEELERS, and to be honest no team in football or any other American sports league comes close to what is famously fan-coined in the City of Steel and around the World as STEELER-NATION
From what I understand the Cowboys were labeled 'America's Team' in the 70's because of the big phat Star that exist on their helmet but more importantly they won a few Super Bowls (2) during that time and the TV ratings for all their games hit the roof in relation to viewership; but that pales in comparison to what the Steelers did during that same period. Pittsburgh won 4 super bowls, twice beating the Cowboys in the big game, and they have more Hall of Famers during that era than any other team so the title of America's Team should of went to the Steelers not the Cowboys
With all due respect to the Packers-Chiefs-Bears-Raiders fandom, there's a strong presence across North America for these teams as well, they don't measure up to the crazed-year around followship that the Steeler Nation imposes on the sports world
So lets end the debate today and forever, the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase is not just here in the States but around the world..rolling strong and steady & stubborn...Osama Bin Laden has been known to rock a Steeler Hat in one of his Video Monologues. I live in Los Angeles and if you don't know, this is the biggest melting pot for people(s) to move to from around the world; and I see more Steeler Paraphanelia worn by strangers than any other team in sports period. Hats, shirts, pants, pins, car insignias, tattoos, pets, you name it...Steeler Nation represents! Sorry Cowboy fans, you might be in the same region as the Steelers when it comes to fan appreciation but the Black & Gold owns the country

Flooded lanes and driveways near Broad Green Farm, Brampton Road, Madley. David Price on the lane leading to his house at Broad Green Farm off Brampton Road.
WITH more heavy rain expected tonight and over the weekend, one county village is already dealing with the effects of severe flooding.
Several residents in Madley have found themselves stranded, with some roads completely underwater.
These photos show the lane to Broad Green Farm completely submerged – making travel away from home almost impossible without a 4x4 vehicle for owner David Price.
More on this in next week's Hereford Times.

So, what is really the simple life? Climbing in itself is sometimes really hard but to able to focus only on that it becomes sort of simple. The climb-eat-sleep life at least sounds pretty simple? Simple and hard doesn't need to be the same thing either... enough of this for now. I'm currently staying with my friends Dani and Andrea who just got a new house and land outside of LLeida (Catalunya, Spain). With so much land you will have to become a farmer -like it or not. But I guess there is a reason why ou choose the country life and leave the city behind. Anyway, the place is still in the centre of all the good climbing and the past time we've spent mostly in Margalef. I was a bit anxious before coming here, wondering if my finger would work in all the hard pocket climbs. But now I'm reliefed as I've done all the little projects I had here; 8b+, 8c, 8c+. As allways these are all just numbers, but its great for your self confidense to know you can pull hard again after a big injury as mine.
the farmer Dani himself making shure he will have food on the table also tomorrow
I know I've posted a photo of this route before but the line and rock is just so beautiful. 8c, 8c+?

I also used the restdays to finally find a teacher in the Chineese violin the Er-Hu in Barcelona. We aslo run into some friends, other good music and too much good food: the asian buffé with all you can eat sushi, candy, ice-cream etc... I've also met all kinds of nice people out here in the mountains who came and went. It's also time for me to move on soon (but to return in a near future). Next stop: Toulouse and then the Melloblocco festival in Val Di Mello in Italy for a music gig with the Sagagnass Sound System and climbing (not like last year when I played and just watched peolpe climb)!
After searching in Paris I finally found him here at the metrostop "Espanya" in Barcelona, the Er-Hu teacher that I have a hard time talking to. He only speaks chineese...
The easygoing beachlife of Barca with an unusually interesting and good street flamencogroup with a blond! flamenco singer. Olé!

satID, provides an accurate, fast, all-in-one solution for geolocating and identifying sources of RF interference. satID capitalizes on the integration and features several key capabilities of Monics to increase productivity and generate faster geolocation results.
Faster Results and Map-Driven User Interface
satID employs a map-driven user interface to provide operators with the ability to perform geolocation scenarios more efficiently and effectively. The result is a reduction of time to locate interference with this fresh concept providing flexibility in terms of approach and scenario visualization. In most cases, scenarios can be created and begin receiving pinpointed geolocation results displayed on a map within minutes.
Increased Productivity
The intuitive user interface provides flexibility both in terms of approach and scenario visualization. This philosophy allows the tool to suit the user therefore increasing performance and productivity. With the advanced scenario configuration, which includes beam visualization and transponder time delay configuration, level 1 operators can now perform many geolocation scenarios instead of passing the problem along to a higher level operator as they may have needed to do in the past.
Monitoring and Geolocation
satID is an unparalleled system that integrates both monitoring and geolocation into a single easy to use solution. By integrating Monics, satID can identify important monitoring feedback, such as detailed carrier-under-carrier characterizations which simplifies the task of geolocating hidden carriers deliberately or accidently interfering with legitimate satellite traffic. Having the elements required for RFI mitigation integrated into a single solution provides complete scenario analysis and greater geolocation confidence.
Unmatched Accuracy
satID is the most accurate geolocation product available today, geolocating within 5 km of the interfering signal. In many cases, the ephemeris accuracy may need to be increased for geolocation scenarios to produce accurate geolocation results. To solve this issue SAT developed Ephemeris Error Compensation (EEC). EEC is a time proven tool that dramatically improves accuracy of satID geolocation scenarios by correcting the inaccurate ephemeris prior to the scenario being performed.
Key Features:
Test and Training
For enhanced operator training and system test, satID can include our optional hardware simulation system satID GeoSim. The satID GeoSim system accurately models geolocation environments by recreating the real-world RF signals received by satID, adding the full set of physics effects imparted on signals as they travel to and from satellites. This exclusive technology enhances geolocation operations and sharpens operator's reaction skills, allowing users to more quickly and more cost-effectively diagnose and restore link problems. For more information about these capabilities, download the satID GeoSim datasheet.

The Mob Biography
There are more than one band named The Mob. 1. Anarcho-punk late '70s 2. New York Hardcore early '80s 3. Rock 2005 1) The Mob were an anarcho-punk band originally from Yeovil, Somerset, England during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The band broke up in December 1983. Marc Mob was the bands center of attention with colourful (red) dreadlocks and an angelic face. On the contrary his voice sounded doomed, his lyrics featuring topics such as nuclear bombs, war, wastelands, death and doom in general. the mob. they new that the world was a place of doom, gloom, and despair, and thus sung songs of mourning for a dying world. greed, corruption, and pollution have blotted out all hope and optimism. formed and disbanded during the early UK anarcho-punk scene, the mob defined dirge music in the punk genre with music so competent and unique from the one chord wonder bands, and possibly the most emotional, albeit negative, of any of their contemporaries like crass, conflict, and chumbawamba while still remaining political in their message. possibly the only other band to hold a torch to the despair and morbidity of the mob was rudimentary peni, another off-beat post-punk group who often shared the stage with the mob. they seemed more comrades to each other than any of the more positive-punk bands at the time. 2) The Mob were a hardcore band from New York who existed during the 1980's. Their first release was the Upset The System EP 7" in 1982 followed by another 7" (Step Forward) the next year and a LP titled We Come To Crush in 1986. Their style of hardcore was similar to contemporaries such as The Abused, Urban Waste and Cause For Alarm. 3)The Mob is an American hard rock band formed in 2005. Their self-titled debut album was released by Frontiers Records the same year. Line-up * Reb Beach (from Whitesnake – guitars, backing vocals * Doug Pinnick (from King's X – lead vocals * Timothy Drury from (Whitesnake – keyboards, backing vocals * Kelly Keagy from (Night Ranger– drums, backing vocals

CATEGORIES Movies, CinematicalThere are mortal beings and there are legends. Michael Douglas is the latter. After his cancer diagnosis a few months ago, some feared that one of the great movie stars of the past few decades was on his way out. It turns out the Doom and Gloom reports of his impending demise were greatly exaggerated: Douglas is not only well on the road to recovery, he's ready to play the famously flamboyant performer Liberace in Steven Soderbergh's appropriately titled 'Liberace.'
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop: the film is set to start shooting next summer and the role will require Douglas to act behind facial prosthetics and undertake musical training. On the role, the Oscar winning actor says: "I've got a bunch of tapes of performances ... I'm thinking; I'm a blank slate. Everything shows me he was a lovely man; I just want to reconfirm that."
When the project was first announced two years ago, Douglas was set to star alongside Matt Damon and Soderbergh would direct from a script by Richard LaGravenese. Then Soderbergh chose to make the thriller 'Contagion' first, Douglas' health problems arose and the film's future looked indefinite. Now, here we are: pending Douglas' final prognosis in January (and things are looking good), 'Liberace' will happen and Soderbergh will direct. There is still no word on whether or not the increasingly busy Damon is still attached to the film, but considering that he and Soderbergh have worked together five times before, put your money on him showing up.
The casting of the 66-year-old Douglas as Liberace suggests that the film won't be a straightforward biopic, but one that focuses on the later years of the performer's life, like the infamous court case between him and his bodyguard Scott Thorson, who sued his former boss for $113 million in palimony after claiming they were a couple for five years (Liberace had spent his entire life refuting claims that he was gay, even winning a lawsuit against The Daily Mirror in 1957 when a columnist referred to him as "fruit flavored"). There's definitely a potentially interesting movie here, Douglas is inspired casting and Soderbergh, being the ridiculously talented jack of all trades that he is, will certainly bring something unique to the table. Keep this one on your radar, folks.

The Poker Gods Send Omens
December 14, 2011
So, as of a week ago, my Christmas plans involved port, gourmet salamis and cheeses, bad movies, and a sleepy boxer in my lap at home. My parents were headed from western Nebraska to Salt Lake City to see my brother and his family (including my two adorable nieces, ages 5 and 2). My sig other was headed to eastern Iowa to his family and their personal "don't ask, don't tell" detente where I am just the landlord for the house where my sig other lives.
Then, a cosmic convergence of omens occurred. I found out I was one round trip from making Elite status on United. I am a mere 220 points from making Platinum on Caesars' Total Rewards for the first time (screw you folks who can play in a Caesars property year round and get to cut lines with your freakin' Diamond cards). I have a handful of "use it or lose it" vacation days at work. My sig other's youngest niece demanded that he bring her "best friend" Berkeley home to play at Christmas. What were the poker gods trying to tell me?
Not fully believing the portents, I checked out Orbitz, United.com, and Total Rewards. What to my wondering eyes appeared but an opportunity for an awesome holiday excursion. A round-trip flight from Des Moines to Salt Lake was within $30 of the cost of a multi-way trip from Des Moines to Vegas to Salt Lake. I had two free nights at Planet Hollywood or Paris to use. Could the signs be any clearer?!?
Suddenly, my sedate holiday at home has transformed into a whirlwind itinerary of two days in Vegas, followed by two days in Salt Lake with my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, and my nieces. Not quite "home for the holidays", but still a perfect Christmas nonetheless.
Happy Holidays to all my followers, from me and Berkeley!

2 recent outfits
45 comments:
I love both these looks. Where is your coat from in the top outfit? It's adorable!ReplyDelete
I'm dreading having to dress for work in the summer, it's so boring and difficult compared to throwing on whatever I like so I feel your pain. Good job at jazzing it up though.
This bank holiday I'm going to Slam Dunk Festival, I wanted to go to Dot to Dot but my boyfriend had already got tickets for slam dunk and couldn't afford both. Sad face to that!
I love these looks ! You're so pretty !ReplyDelete
Helen I'm so happy your outfit posts are back! I completely agree about the feeling uninspired without new purchases thing... but sometimes I find gems hidden in the back of my wardrobe that I can bring fresh life to. :)ReplyDelete

Happy Friday!
So many fantastic things are swirling in the air…here's to success and realizing all your dreams!
Of course no Friday would be complete without weekly Mail Bombs. Let's get to solving!
First up, Dida writes, " Hi! I'm wondering what designer makes the shoes and handbag Brandy had on at the NARM event – they were amazing!!!!!!!?"
" Please let us know…. Her new look is killing, she is back and I'm loving it!"
Ok! Brandy debuted a new curly look in a black leather dress accented by $1,835 Versace Studded suede and mesh platform sandals:
The transparent and black dégradé lucite wedge heels measures approximately 7 inches with a 2.5 inch platform. She finished the look with a $1,495 Valentino VaVa-Voom Flap Bag:
Get her shoes here and her bag here. Ok, Brandy, we see you, gworl!
Danielle writes, "I would really like to know where Draya got her jean dress…"
"… she wore it with shaunie on her instagram photo @drayaface…please help me."
Yep! We found that Draya was rocking this $50 Redopin Sleeveless Distressed Denim Dress from yesstyle.com:
Unfortunately the dress is no longer available. This $123 short denim dress by Diesel has a similar look:
If that'll work, get it here.
Lola types, "Hi, I recently saw excerpts of a Po Johnson interview and photoshoot, and one of her outfits I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!"
"If you could please tell me where i could find the outfit, it would be much appreciated!"
Po was styled for Pynk Magazine in sequin shorts and green patent boots accented by this gold Jad Ghandour jacket:
It may look familiar because Ashanti has worn pants from the same collection before:
Inquire about the jacket at www.jadghandour.com. As for the rest of the outfit? I'm at a loss. Feel free to leave a comment if y'all know the score.
Next up, Erica says, "Rocsi posted a photo on Instagram yesterday and I would love to find out who is the designer of her yellow studded leather jacket she is wearing!"
" Thanks in advance!"
Rocsi divulged that the jacket brand is called Grie and she purchased it at Intermix, but we weren't able to find the jacket online. Find an Intermix location near you by visiting www.intermixonline.com or call 1-212-741-5075 ext. 253 to inquire.
Chevelle says, "Can you plzzzzzz help me find these earrings Tyson Chandler's wife is wearing."
"… The outfit is hottt but I love the earrings more with that short hair cut."
Not sure, but you can get similar earrings for a splurge or a steal here:
Nicole says, " I'm so in love with this dress and her whole look."
" Please help me find who makes this or any similar ideas. Thanks so much fashion bomb."
Cassie attended the Carol's Daughter New York launch in a $1,519 Jen Kao Cashmere/spandex Sundial Knit Dress:
Because the event was a year ago, Cassie's dress is sold out. I haven't been able to find anything similar, but will update once I do!
In a wardrobe query, Tia says, "I'm supposed to be going to a graduation in 2 weeks time and I need a long sleeved above knee dress in order to not offend the ultra conservatives :) I really want a bright pop of colour but I'm having no such luck finding summer dresses with sleeves.. hope you can help!"
Sure! Get a long sleeved summer look with these:
Also note that you can always top a short sleeved dress with a blazer or cardigan if you want to cover your arms.
Miki types, "I finally caved and splurged on this DVF I've been coveting for months! Now that I have it, I'm confused on how to style it!"
" I need your help eek!"
The dress is such a showstopper, I don't think you need to style it very much! If you want to go for easy breezy, pop on a pair of metallic or skin toned flat sandals. Dressing up? Gold sandals and a matching clutch will do. Keep earrings small and throw on a simple pendant necklace to accent the piece's neckline:
Tisha writes, "I am a "thick" girl- thunder thighs included. I am self-conscious about my legs. Are there any styles in which I can pull off without 1 looking like a granny or 2 displaying too much "hail damage"? Peplum has done the trick for my stomach area, but I'm wondering is there a style (like high-low skirts) that can cover my thighs. I will be anticipating your reply. Thanks a ton!"
Thunder thighs? It'll be hard to cover those up, though I think you had the right idea with hi lo hems. Dark colors tend to be slimming, so indulge in a few skirts in black or navy:
What do you guys think?
Now for some unsolved Mail Bombs!
In an e-mail titled, "TRUE RELIGION FIEN!!!!!", Michelle screams, "I LOVE THIS OUTFIT BLACK CHYNA HAS ON,I SEARCHED THE TRUE WEBSITE,NO LUCK….MAYBE YOU CAN HELP!!!!"
Lastly, Jay writes, "Just would like to know where I can get Meagan Good's shirt?"
"… It's giving me flashbacks from my childhood :)"

ya'll gotta be late with the April Fools…this is pure foolishness…
Thats a swim suit not an outfit and I hope you wear it as such.
Good luck claire! I loveeeeeeeeee you! Hope you get it!!!!!
HA! Gigglies…
yes BRANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was going to inquiry about Ms. Goode's top because it reminds me so much of my favorite artist Roy Lichtenstein!!!!!!
To Claire: Good luck x 1 billion!! I LOVE Cassie's dress. I really think it's cute and wish the photo had been taken hours ago :) As for the swimsuit…I don't think it's real True Religion at all. Just looks like somebody stitched horseshoes wherever they could find space on the fabric.
Good luck Claire…sending you positive vibes from far away- hope they reach you!
LOL@ watevs and chimee and I AGREE with you both, some of these inquiries from you girls…chillllllle listen, i cant!
But i truly believe Claire put these things up as a joke! Really Po and Blk China?!?! SMFH!!!!!!
Good Luck Claire!!! you got this…
claire, you are my hero for indulging these "requests"….makes my weekend everytime.
At least you didn't ask who Black Chyna was this time. And congrats on all your sucess. You deserve it. Been a fan of this blog for at least two years and am so happy to see such a talented amazing person getting what is due them.
best wishes, claire! they would be blessed to have you.
i can't with that 'swim' suit, that is swimming in her rather than her swimming anywhere in it. smh.
They have the denim dress Draya is wearing @ H&M. Its printed on a poly/rayon/cotton blend but its adorable. Just bought it to wear to the beach as a cover up cuz its super lightweight and denim goes with everything! =)
That 'swimsuit' pic of Blac Chyna is olddd. Even if it wasnt bought at the Flea Market it would definitely be sold out by now. That pic is atleast a couple of years old.
I love that Meagan Good top.
On second look, that Meagan Good top could be part of a Pajama set. Looks sorta like it. Also, great suggestions for the DVF Dress. I have a similiar one and just wear it with gold accessories. Definitely a statement dress.
Such a fan of your blog good luck girl!!!
Black chyna really! Some of the people on this blog are too much.
anyways congrats Claire on all your success. Just breath and relax. Everything will be alright. I love the team behind the Fashion Bomb and I wish you all ladies the best.
Prayers up! @Claire
Good Luck Claire! Nothing but success for you.
Cassie is just GORGEOUS and dhe looks so fantastic
Good luck Claire! I hope everything goes well! Brandy's outfit is a whole lotta look. LOL @ the Blac Chyna flea market comment and at Po in a magazine with no top! Rocsi's jacket is cute.
Oh. And Cassie's bod is bodacious.
Not even trying to throw shade but the lucky swimsuit may be fake. I only believe that because 1. horseshoe stitching doesn't look like the originals 2. I haven't seen true religion make swimsuits such as this. 3. Counterfeits tend to overuse the brand logo and place them everywhere. From a design point it would be tacky to put horseshoes on bikini top and bottom. It's too much!
*oops not lucky brand lol
Is Michelle freakin serious??? And who the hell spells "lyfe" like that?? That was a pure joke. Thanks for posting…needed a laugh.
Nothing but positive vibes and good wishes your way Claire!!!!! *crosses fingers *
I just… have no words for the Blac Chyna request. And that pic…
Prayers sent up, and positive vibes sent your way! Hope all goes well, Claire! :)
Thanks Claire for finding these items or similar items! Those gold pants are to die for, Brandy looks incredible and Draya's jean dress is sooo freaking cute!! Yep, I'm going shopping this weekend…
Where did Cassie get that body from?! I don't recall any of that from her "me and you" days!
that is the cutest ive seen brandy in a long time..loved it!!
Brandy looks hot!!! Love the DVF dress, I'm kinda tempted to splurge….
I'm pretty sure you had the interview by now Claire, I hope it went well!
Hi Claire,
Yes i would loooove to know where Megan Good got the Comic Shirt from also. Great summer piece.. Thanks in advance.
Not feeling Brandy (although I usually like her). Hate this hair, and I don't like the accessories.
Cassie looks a lil thick…lol
Claire- I will also chime in (albeit late) and wish you best of luck.
Hope you do well on your interview Claire :-)
Blessing to you Claire.)
Michelle: I hope you don't find Black Chyna's outfit. I hope no one does. Claire: Break a leg!!
The Blac Chyna inquiry seems like a joke, LOL smh. But I like Meagan Good's top, it's cute.
I so agree about someone inquirying about that Black Chyna "outfit". Then again she spelled life, lyfe…. Cassie looks gorgeous. Money well spent on that bod.
Brandys hands look old. She needs to start investing in skincare instead of fashion. I like LaLa, but Po is beautiful. Claire, I know you got it already, so please share the details. I wish you and your team all the best.
BRANDY'S haaaaaaiiiiiiirrrrrrrr!!!!

Game 6, 2002 - Carolina Hurricanes vs Toronto Maple Leafs
Goal - Mats Sundin
Has there been a bigger goal from the Toronto Maple Leafs since 1993?
Mats Sundin put the puck in the back of the net over 500 times in his NHL career and this was the biggest and most important one of them all.
More videos including a Steve Webb beating and 2002 playoff analysis after jump
2002 playoffs
Toronto opened up as the #4 seed and faced off against the #5 seeded New York Islanders in what was the bloodiest/dangerous/intense/hardest hitting serious that I have ever watched.
Toronto won in 7 games after winning all of the home games and dropping all the games in New York. In the process they lost Mats Sundin to a fractured wrist after a hit by Steve Webb who quickly became the most hated man in Leafs Nation.
Steve Webb threw some of the latest and most dangerous hits that would get him kicked out of the NHL in this day in age.
The worst part of his game was that he would never fight and you couldn't hit him back because he never touched the puck.
Toronto got the last laugh on him in that series and so did Owen Nolan.
Two nights after eliminating the Islanders they welcomed the Ottawa Senators to the Air Canada Centre.
After war for 7 games against the Islanders the Senators brought a much different game to the ice in game one and easily put aside the Leafs in the opening contest.
Gary Roberts scored in triple OT in game two to tie the series in what was a fantastic hockey game that featured Curtis Joseph standing on his head.
The series was tied 2-2 after 4 games and game 5 is famous for Daniel Alfredsson's hit from behind on Darcy Tucker and game winning goal only seconds after to give the Senators a 3-2 series lead.
Ottawa then took an early 2-0 lead in game 6 back at home in Ottawa but because of
Tie Domi's balance a 5 minute power play the Maple Leafs scored twice to tie the game and thanks to an Alex Mogilny third period winner the Leafs won game 6 and earned a game 7 back on home ice in Toronto.
In Game 7 Curtis Joseph and the Leafs shut the door and Alex Mogilny scored twice in the Leafs 3-0 win.
That win brought the Leafs to the Eastern Conference Final against the Carolina Hurricanes who had home ice only because they were the Southeast Division winners. They actually had 9 fewer points then the Maple Leafs in the regular season.
Toronto went on to win game one and had all of Leafs Nation dreaming of the Cup Finals.
Of course that didn't happen.
A combination of the Leafs previous injuries and having too many injured players come back in the lineup on top of a Pat Quinn illness and a clutch and grab Carolina Hurricanes that eliminated any Maple Leafs offensive attack led the Leafs to bowing out in 6 games.
Carolina won three different games in overtime including game 6 after the above game tying goal by Mats Sundin.
The above video is the call by Joe Bowen.
Here is another video with the call from CBC and ESPN.
Great Quote
"Score, the Leafs have tied the game and the place goes crazy"
Isn't reminiscing about past Leafs playoff runs that sees them not win the Stanley Cup fun?
Hey, it's all we have.
Enjoy it and hope for a better future!

- Understanding EMF Electric and Magnetic FieldsQuestions have been raised about the possible health effects of 60-hertz (power frequency) electric and magnetic fields (EMF*), which are found wherever you have electric power. This brochure contains information that will help you understand the EMF issue, plus practical tips you can use if you want to reduce your exposure at home and at work.
Campos Eléctricos y Magnéticos (EMF): Si desea recibir información en español, comuníquese con Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) al 1-800-660-6789.
Can EMF harm your health?
Electric and magnetic fields are present wherever electricity flows—around appliances and power lines, and in offices, schools and homes. Many researchers believe that if there is a risk of adverse health effects from usual residential exposures to EMF, it is probably just at the detection limit of human health studies; nonetheless, the possible risk warrants further investigation. The varying results from epidemiological studies, which looked at estimated EMF exposures and childhood leukemia, are consistent with a weak link. Laboratory studies and studies investigating a possible mechanism for health effects (mechanistic studies) provide little or no evidence to support this weak link.
The results from many research studies have been evaluated by international, national and California EMF research programs to determine whether EMF poses any health risk. Given the uncertainty of the issue, the medical and scientific communities have been unable to conclude that usual residential exposures to EMF cause health effects, or to establish any standard or level of residential exposure that is known to be either safe or harmful. These conclusions remain unchanged by recent studies.
World Health Organization findings
The World Health Organization (WHO) completed a review of the potential health implications of extremely low frequency (ELF) EMF, which includes power-frequency fields. Their conclusions and recommendations were presented in June 2007 in a report known as the Extremely Low Frequency Fields, Environmental Health Criteria Monograph No. 238.
The WHO report concluded that evidence for a link between ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukemia "is not strong enough to be considered causal but sufficiently strong to remain a concern." "Virtually all of the laboratory evidence and the mechanistic evidence fail to support" this reported association. For all other diseases, there is inadequate or no evidence of health effects at low exposure levels.
The report emphasized that, given the weakness of the evidence for health effects, the health benefits of exposure reduction are unclear and adopting policies based on arbitrary low exposure limits is not warranted. In light of this situation, WHO made these and other recommendations:
- National authorities should implement communication programs with all stakeholders to enable informed decision-making, including how individuals can reduce their own exposure.
- Policy makers and community planners should implement very low-cost measures to reduce exposures when constructing new facilities and designing new equipment, including appliances.
- Policy makers should establish guidelines for ELF field exposure for both the general public and workers. The best source of guidance for both exposure levels and the principles of scientific review are the international guidelines.
- Government and industry should promote research to reduce the uncertainty of the scientific evidence on the health effects of ELF field exposure. Several recommended research projects are already under way through the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), of which PG&E is a member.
To view the full report and a fact sheet summarizing it, visit:
- www.who.int/peh-emf/publications/elf_ehc/en/index.html
- www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs322/en/index.html
What you can do
In a situation of scientific uncertainty and public concern, WHO recommended that utilities explore "very low-cost" ways to reduce EMF exposure from new or upgraded facilities. PG&E and other California public utilities have been pursuing no-cost and low-cost measures to reduce EMF levels from new utility transmission lines and substation projects. You, too, may want to take no-cost and low-cost measures to reduce your EMF exposure at home and at work.
Human studies have not produced a consensus about any health benefits from changing the way people use electric appliances. But, if you feel reducing your EMF exposure would be beneficial, you can increase your distance from electric appliances and/or limit the amount of time you use appliances at home or at work.
For instance, you can place phone answering machines and electric clocks away from the head of your bed. Increasing your distance from these and other appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and microwave ovens can reduce your EMF exposure.
You can also reduce your EMF exposure by limiting the time you spend using personal appliances such as hair dryers, electric razors, heating pads and electric blankets. You may also want to limit the time you spend using electric cooking appliances.
You can locate the sources of EMF in your work environment, and spend break time in lower-field areas.
It is not known whether such actions will have any impact on your health.

What are the proposed modifications to the SmartMeter™ Program?
On March 24, 2011, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed proposed modifications to the SmartMeter™ Program in response to California Public Utilities Commissioner Michael Peevey's request that PG&E provide a proposal that addresses certain customers' concerns about SmartMeter™ radio frequency (RF) communications.
On February 1, 2012, the Commission issued Decision (D.) 12-02-014, which modified Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) SmartMeter™ Program to include an option for those residential customers who did not wish to have a wireless SmartMeter™. The Opt-Out Decision adopted interim fees for those customers electing to participate in the opt-out option and directed that a separate phase be initiated to consider cost and cost allocation issues associated with opt-out options. The decision also directed that the second phase consider whether the opt-out option should be extended to communities, such as local governments and residents of apartment buildings or condominium complexes.
The Opt-Out Decision identified two main issues for the second phase: (1) cost and cost allocation, and (2) whether to adopt a community opt-out option.
Will rates increase generally as a result of this application?
Yes, possibly. In the Commission's Opt-Out Decision, the Commission adopted interim fees to be paid by customers electing not to have a wireless SmartMeter™. The Commission will consider revisions to those interim fees in the second phase of the proceeding. If the fees set for customers electing not to have a wireless SmartMeter™ do not fully recover the costs of the Opt-Out Program, then rates for PG&E's other customers could increase.
