Here's a beginner's guide to simple steps you can take to start an off-grid lifestyle, even if you live in a city!
Municipal waste systems, such as garbage and recycling programs, can be costly and, ironically, damaging to the environment. You can reduce your reliance on these programs (and in some states, even your garbage bill) by taking on a simple project for the beginner off-gridder:
COMPOSTING. No outdoor space? That's okay, you can use make your own indoor vermicompost bin for less than $5 in less than 30 minutes! Visit this YouTube film.
As the video shows you, the "soil" (castings) you are left with can go directly to outdoor garden spaces. If you don'thave a yard, try looking up a neighborhood garden project! Most will be happy to accept your nutrient-rich donation. We do not recommend using compost soil for potted plants as it tends to be a little high in microbes for potted plants liking.
WATER. Everyone needs water. We use it to drink, cook, wash, and feed the beautiful greenery around us. Many off-gridders integrate a variety of water collection systems into their homes and land, including independent well drilling, rain-water harvesting, and grey water systems. An advantage to securing your own water supply is that it puts you more closely in touch with your needs and with the cycles of nature. Consequently, you are better able to reduce unnecessary waste and reuse water where possible.
A low-cost and relatively easy beginner project for those interested in lessening their dependence on the grid for water is rainwater harvesting. You don't want to drink the rainwater you collect unless highly filtered, but you can use it to water your garden or potted plants, do the washing, flush your toilets and even cooking. There are many great companies out there where you can purchase premade setups of varying levels of sophistication. Please consult here for links and information on state regulations. Systems are easy to establish and will be significantly cheaper to do on your own than through a supplier. A quick and dirty overview can be found here
ELECTRICITY. In place of standard electrical lines, off-gridders instead rely on wind or hydro or solar power. Not only is harvesting your own electricity more environmentally friendly, it is often significantly less expensive and also means that you can avoid having your energy usage communicated to corporate and municipal energy companies.
Off-grid electrical systems tend to require a relatively large initial financial commitment, but the savings in cost and peace of mind will offset this initial investment. Despite spacial constraints, apartment dwellers are now exploring off-grid electricityoptions, as well. Watch these videos below for instructions on how to set up a solar energypack for your apartment or city home.
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c81cECD9zw
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4NZC1T5itk&feature=related
The transition to off-grid living can often seem a little daunting. However, if you start small,build up your knowledge through doing and get a little creative, the benefits from your new, independent life will make you question why you even waited this long.
Let us know what you think and how you first began your journey to the off-grid life!

Great article Mo! I think the mistake that far too many folks make is thinking they need to do it all at once, but as you point out, going off the grid can be done in stages.

I agree Solarbum, that was my original mistake. Thank you for the article. I fully plan to put these simple steps into affect immediately. Can't wait to start!

Having lived in a house (in NZ) where the only water came from a rainwater tank on the roof I can say that all mum did was to use a tea strainer (to remove dead insects etc.) and then boil it before drinking. We were never ill, but boiling first is essential.

Hi! This is my first time on the site and have to say OVERJOYED I've found it. Been trying to do what I can to go OTG but mostly playing the "recycling dictator" in my home… not super effective :) But this article has renewed my spirit! It is overwhelming, but these beginner tips are perfect. Thank you!

Excellent balance
April 25, 2012
I particularly enjoy this tea with the balance of a fairly light aroma and a full, rounded taste. It's my current choice for a breakfast tea as it does not acquire the astringency of many other teas if left to steep excessively long.

A Favorite
February 16, 2012
This is one of my two favorite loose leaf black teas at CoffeeAM. This one is lighter in color with a more subtle flavor, sometimes seems to have a hint of cinnamon or something, even though no spices are added. Great if you like a cup that's not so strong.

Great tea
October 17, 2011
This is tea that my family drinks every day, cold iced tea. I heat 3 cups of water for 5 minutes in the microwave. Then I put 1/4 cup of this tea in a coffee filter wrapped like a bag and held by a clip. Swirl it around a few times to get it nice and soaked up, prime it up. I let that steep for 25 minutes. This concentrated solution goes into a 2 quart tea pitcher, which I then fill with water. I add about 1/2 cup of sugar to this pitcher. We keep it refrigerated. The family will drink nothing else, they complain if I get behind in my tea duties. It is many times more refreshing than lipton, or nestea or any of that stuff.

Coffee AM is a great place to buy my favorite tea
September 11, 2014
Since I grew up in the foothills of Himalayas, drinking Darjeeling tea was part of my life. Good Darjeeling Black Tea has a nice aroma with light liquor. After some years of disappointment in getting the good DT, finally I discovered Coffee AM. They saved my life. They have great service. Ordered 3/4 times a year for last 3/4 years and never faced an issue.

Mac High has been holding graduations outdoors (weather permitting) since at least '65 (mine). The '75 graduation was also held @ Linfield.
The Linfield event was the site of possibly the first attempt at streaking the graduation -- two seniors, wearing only boots and helmets, attempted to ride motorcycles between the the seated graduates, but the lead bike failed to negotiate the broad jump lane and flipped over. The trailing bike immediately turned around and 'got out of Dodge'. The crashed rider finally started his bike after many, many attempts. He was last seen laying the bike down near the baseball field and running down S. Davis. Stupid human tricks -- comedy in it's purest form.
It's truly a shame that the age of video in every hand wasn't available, because any video of this would have set records on You Tube.
Thanks for providing a more complete history of outdoor generations. I know there's been a few inside here and there -- I remember photographing one in the '80s so photographer Tom Ballard could relax and watch one of his kids graduate. It was hot, stuffy and super-crowded, even back then.
If you go to numerous graduations around Yamhill County, as reporter Paul Daquilante and I do, you'll know that almost all are held outside these days. Amity continued holding theirs in the gym until quite recently, but now it's held in the fresh air as well.
My own high school graduation was June 4, 1978, in the Reedsport High School gym -- 100 Braves heading out to conquer the world. Linfield was the first place I experienced an outdoor graduation.
The indoctrination of our schools, already happend. Either told lies, or half the story, or even just plain wrong answers. purposely to dumb us down...
Any reason they put extra fluoride in the water system at the school?

TWG Tea Salon and Boutique
Level 1, Greenbelt 5
Legaspi Village, Makati
Open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Monday to Thursday); 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. (Friday to Saturday); 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Sunday)
A tea and dessert lover's dream. Click for more.
(SPOT.ph) The rows upon rows of canisters catch you first: cylindrical tins large and small in cheery yellow, cerulean blue, bright pink, bold red, and almost every other color of the rainbow stacked with precision�the large yellow ones reaching the ceiling, the smaller ones on the lower shelves competing for your attention. Even from the outside, it�s hard to drag your eyes away from the elegant prettiness of it all, and once you step inside, you�d be hard-pressed to settle on one thing too quickly. Especially when you realize that each tin holds a different type of tea, and each type smells nothing short of heavenly.
The feeling of being slightly overwhelmed by the variety is, we learned, intentional: �We want people to take their time. Sit, enjoy. Relax,� says Louise Benzrihem of TWG Tea Company in Singapore, originator of TWG Tea Salon and Boutique. She suggests three ways to help narrow down the options when faced with their tea menu, which lists 1,000 different varieties (prices start at P190): first, pick a country�they have teas from practically every country in the world, from China to South America; second, ask someone from the staff for a recommendation, as they�ve been trained to identify which tea you�re most likely to enjoy based on your preferences; or third, do it the old-fashioned way�close your eyes and point at something on the menu! The Silver Moon is always a bestseller, as well as the Singapore Breakfast. The Pink Flamingo, a white tea blend, is a surprisingly fun, delicately pink candy-flavored drink, and the Chocolate Earl Grey is a delicious black tea blend that boasts a mild floral flavor layered with spice and chocolate.�
The rest of their menu features tea-infused salads, sandwiches, and pastas, including some of the salon�s signature dishes: the TWG Tea salad, the Wagyu burger, the TWG Tea lasagna, a roast apricot cod, and pastries like macarons, scones, and muffins for afternoon tea. So much eye candy, an irresistible menu, and a setting that almost transports you to a genteel world of high tea, top hats, and fascinators? It's all enough to make us think that a lot of people will want to sit back and relax much more often.

Get Where's My Water?!
Where's My Water?
By Disney
Suitable for kids and adults, this adventure offers a good dose of fun and laughs while you try to help an underground alligator take a shower (which can be as difficult as it sounds). Where's My Water? is a Disney app for everyone.
The Recapp Rating
4/5 Stars
|Get Where's My Water?! + Add to Favs
Take Cut the Rope, replace the hungry Om Nom and his beloved candy with Swampy the Alligator and water, and you get the puzzle game Where's My Water?
This Disney app will keep kids of all ages—and you—laughing while also presenting a pretty good challenge. The goal is to get water to Swampy's underground shower. There's a lot of physics in this one, with dirt, traps, bombs, valves and other slimy characters stuck in your path along the way. Strategy is key: Often, you have to think through the entire screen and carve the water's path before you let the first drop flow.
Broken down into chapters, the puzzle game has a ton of cool levels that advance the story. You can fill Swampy's rubber duckies with water (which earns you bonus points) and find other shower items to unlock bonus levels along the way. The graphics and soundtrack are light and fun.
Other than often wishing that water would defy gravity and rise on its own, there isn't much we would recommend changing in this Disney app. And in the mind of one 8-year-old reviewer, even losing the game can be fun: Watching a dry Swampy cry at having no water brings a good laugh.

. . .hi I'm just wondering which is better reading your favorite story ? or watching it?
we all have our own answer and it will depends on you on how are you going to elaborate your answer ..
Joined: 24 Aug 08
I prefer to watch my favorite story rather than to read it . reading is boring and it takes a lot of time while by watching your story, you can get the littlest detail in a short time. i think its easier to understand the act by watching than reading.
Joined: 22 Apr 08
For me s0me times it w0uld be better if u r g0ing to read it.. Because the w0rds may bec0me verry clear for y0u .. Specially when the story you are reading is not u'r first language^_~...

I prefer to watch because i hate to read. Reading takes up a lot of time and its is boring. Im the type of person to go and do something rather that watch tv anyway. However if you truly what to understand something i still believe reading is the way to go. Like the harry potter movies, the books was a lot better than the movie. Only after reading the book i truly understood the movie and as a result got to like it.
Joined: 2 Jun 05
im for reading becuz
of one reason you understand the story more
a good example is those films which have been transfered from book to film
they miss out so many detail and sometimes make up things so it looks good on screen
reading the book u can understand the main character of the book
a movie is something to watch to pass time
when ur bored
a book learns a person new things
Joined: 11 Jun 08
I prefer watching, coz I believe a picture tells a story of 1000 words.
But there are exceptions, like if its too "out of real world" subject (sci-fi, fiction) then it would be better going for a book. For example 'The Matrix' it took me sometime to understand the core plot of it... After all it depends on the creativity of the director to convey the story.

well i prefer reading ma fave story because:
when a story is adapted on tv usually doesn't have all the parts of the story
a) u stick more with the sound effects and 2 the apppearance of the characters
b) sometimes some scenes that are not in the original story are added or changed
[come on a story should be exciting on tv ....how are ppl gonna watch it if it's it's not catchy]
c) when u reading u can imagine the whole scene/characters etc....[imagination wiiiiii!!!]
remeber guys : this topic should be 25+ words

I prefer reading. I can easily take a book with me in the toilet when nature calls.
But seriously, most kids today seem to have lost the passion for reading. The nice thing about reading is that it builds-up a good vocabulary (i love discovering new words and phrases...i always have a dictionary handy when reading a new book) and you can actually let your imagination run wild. Sure there are some things tv can do that you wont find in books, but the same can be said about books. I still find that books convey a good story better than television.

Actually, scientifically Reading is better. Because in this, human use only EYES & BRAIN. But watching, they have to use more than READING. They have to use EYE, BRAIN, EAR.
So, most of the time is use to READING BOOKS.

I debated on several different bags before selecting this one to purchase. I look very much to the reviews by other customers when deciding to make a purchase online and so far every product purchased using the reviews/ ratings as a key factor has led to me being a very happy consumer. This bag has so many pockets secured by zippers, the material seems to be sturdy, it has a compact look but has the room for just about anything I would ever pack around. Adjustable strap with shoulder pad makes for maximizing comfort. I would definitely purchase this bag again and I would also purchase this bag as a gift. It really is a great buy. The quality is more than worth the purchase price.
I like the bag, good size for me. But I received wrong color.

BERLIN — The forthcoming German edition of Interview magazine has named Jörg Koch its editor in chief.
Koch has worked for the Süddeutsch Zeitung, Die Zeit and i-D magazine. He is also the founder of edgy English-language title 032c, and he is to retain his position there as editor in chief and creative director.
The first issue is slated to appear at the end of January 2012.
German Interview's art director will be Koch's 032c colleague Mike Meiré, who is also art director of Garage. Also on board in Berlin as the magazine's fashion director is Klaus Stockhausen, previously fashion director of GQ Germany.
As previously reported, Adriano Sack and Jörg Harlan Rohleder will serve as joint executive editors.
The team takes over from previously named editor in chief Aliona Doletskya, who remains international editor of Interview and editor in chief of Russian Interview. Fashion director Jo-Ann Furniss and art director Tim McIntyre were initially slated to do double duty on both German and Russian Interview editions, and are now out at both.
The first issue of Russian Interview is to make its debut on Nov. 25.

If those Bitcoins are burning a hole in your electronic wallet, it might be time to cash out. So, we found something that's totally worth it: a used, slightly damaged, red Mercedes Benz convertible for sale on Craigslist that's accepting Bitcoin as payment.
And with the record values Bitcoins are trading at, what a deal she is! Despite the fact that the 2002 CLK430 is missing a large chunk on its left side (it has a "super clean interior," though) it could be yours for just $3,500. Convert that to Bitcoin's current value of $215 per coin, and this fixer-upper rings in at just 16 BTC.
We called up Danny, a car salesman in Coney Island, to see what possessed him to accept Bitcoins. "It's booming!" he exclaimed to Betabeat on the phone this morning. Not an active trader or buyer of Bitcoins, Danny said he learned about the digital currency trend by reading about it and figured why not.
"It's worth the same as money, so who cares?," he said, adding that this is the first time he's offered something for sale using Bitcoins. When we told him about the great Bitcoin Bubble of 2013, he bristled and said it didn't concern him.
Since the posting only went up last night, he said he hasn't heard from anyone yet. Give it time, Danny: it's a sellers market.

So on a note entirely unrelated to today's comic, I've been playing Savage for the last couple of days. I must say, for the most part, I thoroughly enjoy it, and I feel that it will have to be the game for an upcoming CAD GameDay.
Aside from the fact that there is absolutely NO reason to play the humans, the game is very entertaining. Seriously though... of all the games I've played, the humans have never won a match. I hope s2 gets around to fixing this.
As far as this weekend... I owe you guys an America's Army GameDay, so I'll be following through with that. More details this weekend.
Big News
Well, it has been confirmed. I am going to be a guest at Nekocon in Virgina next month.
I'll be doing some panels about web comics and whatnot, so you can come sit down and ask me questions about web comics in general, about Ctrl+Alt+Del specifically, or whatever.
I'll also have some time scheduled to do signings... I'll try to have free flyers or something to sign for people if they want. I'll also be selling T-shirts and Posters (and signing those, if you choose). I'm hoping to have some of the new shirt designs with me, as well as maybe some console skins if they're ready.
I'm pretty excited about it, and it should be a great time, so if you can make it, come on out and see me.
/Big News
Also, if you click on the button and below, you'll get a sneak preview of a third T-Shirt design that will be coming to the CAD Store when it reopens in a week or two.
I think that's it for today. I'll post later on if I think of anything else you should know.

I'm a huge fan of avocados and love collecting guacamole recipes.I think I'm making up for lost time since I grew up without this nutritious, delicious dish.
Guacamole, a mashed avocado dip, is originally from Mexico, dating back to the Aztecs, where it was revered for its high vitamin and fat content. (I often wonder how ancient civilizations had a better appreciation of how to nourish themselves than we do today.)
Avocados, which were originally mashed with a type of mortar and pestle called a molcajete, are a good source of healthy ingredients including fiber, vitamin K, E, B6, potassium, folic acid and heart healthy mono-unsaturated fats, so there's no reason to feel guilty when eating them. (For more on avocado nutrition.)
Guacamole is delicious as a dip for tortilla chips, as a filling for fresh tortillas, and as a topping for tacos, burritos, and tostadas. It's even delicious spread on a turkey sandwich.
And it's so easy to make, there's no reason not to enjoy it often. I've gathered a couple of my favorite guacamole recipes here for you to enjoy.
The key to these guacamole recipes, is using perfectly ripe avocados. You'll want to use Hass avocados, the dark greenish brown kind with the rough, bumpy skin.
Check for ripeness by gently pressing the avocado with your thumb. If there is no give, the avocado is not ripe enough. If there is a little give, the avocado is ripe and perfect for your guacamole.
If there is a lot of give and it squished beneath your thumb, the avocado is probably past ripe and already turning brown inside, so leave it where you found it!
Remember to use these recipes only as a guide, and to season it to suit your tastes and preferences. Feel free to adjust the amounts and add or delete ingredients as you see fit.
However, the one ingredient that shouldn't be left out is the fresh citrus juice, since in addition to providing bright flavor, it helps prevent the guacamole from turning brown.
And don't over mash the avocados – the best guacamole is slightly chunky.
- 2 large or 3 medium ripe avocados
- ¼ cup minced onion or shallot
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 jalapeno or serrano chile (optional), stemmed, seeded, and finely minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, or to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh into a medium size mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork until chunky. Add the remaining ingredients (except cilantro) and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Garnish and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap placed against the guacamole's surface and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 4 hours).
Add ½ cup seeded and diced tomatoes
Add 1 cup corn
How to Cook Everything (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition)
Super Easy Guacamole Recipe
You might call this cheater's guacamole, but it's wonderful in a pinch, especially if you have fresh salsa in the fridge. Mash together the flesh of 2-3 ripe avocados and 1/2 cup well drained salsa until well combined and still a little chunky.

Friends of hit-and-run victim Kathleen Clark gather to remember their lost loved one
Police still seeking suspect
INDIANAPOLIS - Friends gathered Wednesday to remember a woman killed in a hit-and-run on the city's south side.
Co-workers from the DAV remember 63-year-old Kathleen Clark as fun and energetic, and they can't believe they won't see her smile again.
"She was a genuinely caring person," said Carrie Foster. "It's just a shame that this happened and how it happened, and I really hope the person that did this has enough conscience to come forward and say, 'I hit her,' instead of being scared and running away from it."
A driver struck Clark on South Meridian Street and took off. Her body was discovered in the grass near the street Monday morning.
Surveillance video from a business shows what's believed to be Clark -- and then a truck approaching. It's tough for friends to watch.
"I knew it was her... you could tell... just swinging her little purse just a walking along," said Rachael Stoggsdill.
Clark was a mother and grandmother, and her family wants closure. Her grieving son made a plea for everyone to be on the lookout for the vehicle and the driver that struck his mom.
"There's a body shop... someone's coming in and getting work done on this vehicle and they're doing it quick," said Kathleen Clark's son Rick Clark. They're hiding this vehicle. They know who they are. Someone knows who they are."
People gathered at the site where Clark was killed and shared stories about a woman who walked everywhere, loved to dance and liked glasses.
"She said, 'Look at this one, Marion,' I'd say, 'Yeah, that's nice.' She'd say, 'You want that one?' I've got a couple at home that she got me," said one of Kathleen Clark's friends. "I've got some great big tall ones that she got me."
Police are looking for a 1997-2004, light-colored Ford F-150 pickup truck with a camper shell that might have been removed.
The truck also has right-front damage with a likely broken headlight.

VoltAir concept is a battery-powered commuter jet for 2035
Battery-powered cars are a big deal all of a sudden, so why not a battery-powered plane? The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company, better known for being the parent company of Airbus and Eurocopter, has been working on this concept aircraft which could be flying us around on battery power by 2035.
The VoltAir concept (funny on so many levels) is a zero-emission passenger aircraft that runs entirely on batteries. Specifically, it uses lithium-air batteries, which have very high energy to weight ratios of greater than 1,000 watt hours per kilogram. To get around the fact that fancy futuristic batteries still need to be recharged, the entire battery system would be able to be swapped in and out while the plane is on the ground changing out passengers at the same time.
Powering the plane is (or, you know, will be) an ultra high density superconducting electric engine that promises to be nearly silent, super efficient, and basically everything you could possibly want in an engine short of something that could push you to super high Mach numbers. Yeah, this may not be the ultra-fast plane of the future, but it's quiet and efficient and eco-friendly, all features that you'll have ample time to appreciate as you watch those big loud fuel-guzzling supersonic jets blow past you.
I have to say, I kinda feel like batteries are the wrong way to go on this one, and I'm hopeful that by 2035 we'll have a better way of storing energy. Whether or not they're initially efficient, the problem with batteries is that they get progressively less efficient, to the point where your batteries only have (say) 10% of their charge left but you're still carrying the other useless 90% of them around with you anyway.
Don't get me wrong, lithium-air batteries are leaps and bounds better than something like lead-acid batteries, but I'm still pulling for ground-based laser propulsion.

The ZuffApocalypse is finally over (Everyone, check to make sure all of your body parts are still intact) as UFC heads to Baltimore for UFC 172. Dana White has called this card the most stacked in UFC history, but considering UFC on Fox 11 last weekend was pretty fantastic, I'm putting that sound byte into the "Dana Says A Lot Of Things" file. There are a lot of fights to pick, though, so it's time for the funniest, most charming, delightful group of prognosticators (And me, LobsterMobster!) to weigh in on what's going to happen. As always, there's the ultra-professional Burnsy, Film Drunk's Vince Mancini, New York Ric, and amateur beer enthusiast, Danny "Boy" Downes.
Jessica: 80-32-2 (70%)
Burnsy: 74-37-3 (65%)
Vince: 36-9-1 (77%)
Danny: 44-14-1 (75%)
Eric: 19-10-1 (63%)
Bantamweight – Chris "The Real Deal" Beal vs Patrick Williams
Jessica: I don't know what a Pat Williams is, and I at least remember Beal on the Rousey/Tate season of TUF, so I'll pick him to win by decision.
Burnsy: All right, I have been absolutely terrible these last few events, all because I tried to be "smart" and look up numbers and past results for the fighters. But as one of my media kin on the Island of Misfit Rejects at UFC on Fox told me, "Just go with your gut, man." So it's gut time, fam. If a guy says that he's the Real Deal, I have to pick him.
Vince: I expect Chris the real deal Beal to be a steel eel as the heel Williams slowly congeals in this Bantamweight… uh… squeal? Peel? Anyway, I don't know much about either, but Patrick Williams doesn't even have a picture on his Sherdog profile, which is like three steps down from not having a Wikipedia page. Also, Chris Beal is undefeated. Beal.
Danny: Beal gets his first fight in the UFC since his stint on The Ultimate Fighter season 18. Primarily a boxer, he lacks finishing power and a lot of other weapons. Williams has a higher "kill ratio" as Don Frye would call it, but his level of competition has been poor. As long as Beal avoids the wild punch, he'll take the unanimous decision.
Eric: I've got Beal based solely on his TUF appearance.
Lightweight – Danny "Last Call" Castillo vs Charlie "The Spaniard" Brenneman
Jessica: Holy shit, what did Charles Brenneman ever do to Joe Silva and or Sean Shelby? Was beating Rick Story on one day's notice such an egregious offense that the kid's got to get his block knocked off at every opportunity? Castillo isn't known as a monster puncher, but it doesn't take much to wobble Brenneman's afro, and I expect Danny to get an early knockout victory.
Burnsy: There was a little hype behind Brenneman's return to the UFC, but aside from his last lost to Barboza, who ran face first into Cowboy's jab in Orlando last week, Castillo has been a much more consistent fighter. But mainly, Charlie Brenneman sounds like an 80s sitcom neighbor and that's just weird to me. Castillo with the bounce back win.
Vince: A battle between two decent-but-not-great wrestlerish sort of dudes. I guess I have to go with my fellow NorCal Latino (I'm half Mexican by marriage ever since a Mexican dude started banging my mom) over the 'fro-y dork from PA with the dumb nickname (bro, do you even Spain?).
Also, I have to know who's writing Brenneman's Wikipedia page:
Throughout his elementary and high school career he wrestled, laying the seeds which would later sprout as his enthusiasm and drive to win at MMA.
My guess is his mom, Charlene Brenneman.
Danny: We need a name for Fight Pass main events in general. Maybe we could dedicate them to Joe Son. Danny Castillo is often treated like the red-headed step child of Team Alpha Male. He's been with the Zuffa organization since 2008, and he's only lost to skilled lightweights (yes, even Jacob Volkmann). Brenneman is primarily a wrestler who hasn't accomplished much since he shocked the world by beating Rick Story (remember when Rick Story was a big deal?). Castillo by TKO in the second.
Eric: I really want to pick Brenneman because he is my hero. Charlie won Pros vs. Joes, the world's second greatest athletic competition behind The Challenge (but way ahead of that farce American Gladiators — Come at me, bros).
Castillo is the better striker and at least equal when it comes to wrestling. When Brenneman gets rocked, he bounces around in surprising and unique ways, none of them good. If Castillo doesn't knock him out, he should win a decision. I am sad.
Bantamweight – Jessamyn "The Gun" Duke vs Bethe "Pitbull" Correia
Jessica: I've been a Duke fan since the first time I saw her on Invicta (WATCH INVICTA, YO!), kneeing someone to death and then giving a super-yokelly post fight interview. Correia is a jerk and didn't job to Julie Kedzie in Julie's last fight, so I'm taking Duke to use her 30-foot long arms and legs to Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu Bethe something fierce. Jessamyn wins by third round TKO (And if she doesn't, it'll be a huge Duketastrophe!)
Burnsy: I'm picking Pitbull based solely on her experience in the octagon, but I think Duke has a very promising future. I don't know why I'm being so diplomatic about this. I think I'm still pissed that Carmouche lost.
Vince: "Bethe" is not how you spell "Beth," but "Jessamyn" is not even a real name, unless you're Mormon and you have 12 kids that you're trying to all give names that start with J. In terms of actual fighting, Duke has decent technique but seems so physically weak that she's never really impressed me. Meanwhile, Correia doesn't even have a Wikipedia page and has only fought one person I've ever heard of (Julie Kedzie), who she only beat by split decision. I guess I'll take Correia, because she looks like she can take a punch better.
Danny: Another TUF 18 alum, Jessamyn Duke is a tall, rangy Muay Thai fighter. Bethe Correia is an aggressive fighter that comes forward winging power punches. Duke will have a staggering nine-inch reach advantage, but she still hasn't figured out how to use that in the best possible manner. Correia is a scrappy fighter that could get on the inside and make it a dogfight, but Duke jabs her way to a unanimous decision.
Eric: It would be easy to make a juvenile joke here about Bethe (pronounced Betch) Correia's name here, but I would never disrespect With Leather's standard of decorum.
Although I've been disappointed in Duke's UFC performances thus far, I think she has the physical tools to become a pretty good fighter and will pick up the win on Saturday.
Lightweight – Takanori "Fireball Kid" Gomi vs Isaac Vallie-Flagg
Jessica: I like Gomi for his weird, box-shaped head, his ability to throw hadoukens that shatter Nick Diaz's face, his uncomfortableness at being on camera for way too long, and I guess he's pretty good at fighting, too. Vallie-Flagg is a dude I've seen several times, but nothing has ever stuck in my memory about him. I'll take Gomi to wrestle-box a decision out of IVF.
Burnsy: Gomi has way more miles on his tires than Vallie-Flagg, who is actually a year older than him. I'm going to take Gomi despite the wear and tear and his inconsistency over his last seven fights, dating back to 2010. I think he's good for a win against Valley Forge, who is fighting for just his third time (1-1) in the UFC.
Vince: So it's either the fabulously inconsistent Gomi or a guy with a hyphen name, huh? Whose last three victories have come by way of split decision, mind you. Can I say neither? I'm going Gomi because I hate hyphenated names almost as much as split decisions.
Danny: In the interest of full disclosure, I feel like I should probably tell everyone that I spent the night on Ike's couch a couple months ago. We went to an Albuquerque casino and lost a bunch of money at the blackjack tables. Not only that, we spent 35 minutes walking around the parking lot trying to find his car (let's see Stephen A. Smith top that). Gomi was once a PRIDE legend, but he's been inconsistent as of late. Vallie-Flagg grinds and pressures his way to a decision.
Eric: Gomi hasn't looked great since coming to the UFC, but he should be riding a three-fight win streak. Victory was snatched away by villainous MMA judges in his bout with Diego Sanchez.
I'm not really confident picking either guy, but Gomi has been better lately than Vallie-Flagg was in his last fight. He also has better striking and knockout power. Gomi.
Flyweight – Joseph "Joe-B Wan Kenobi" Benavidez vs Tim Elliott
Jessica: Unless Demetrious Johnson permanently destroyed Benavidez's chin and baby Daniel Bryan and knock him out with a light jab, the master of Joe Jitsu should be able to murderize Elliott. As a final tribute to Bang Ludwig's legacy, Benavidez will get a first round knockout.
Burnsy: I expect Benavidez to win and get back in the title picture. He hit a speed bump, but he won't lose again.
Vince: Tim Elliott looks sort of like Riff Raff. That's pretty cool, but I don't see it being enough to stop Joe Benavidez, who other than his last fight is a monster.
Danny: My how the mighty have fallen. Benavidez has gone from being a #1 contender for the flyweight title to the preliminaries. If you think being prelim main event means something, no it doesn't. All discussions of money and sponsors aside, it's like having the corner office — it's a symbol of stature. You may not like Elliott because he has two l's and two t's in his name, but this should be a much more competitive fight than many initially thought. Elliott is an awkward fighter that throws guys off their timing with a broken rhythm of attack. He'll have a respectable showing, but he'll still lose by guillotine in the third.
Eric: Elliott is unpredictable and tough, but it won't be enough. Joe B doesn't lose to anybody not named Demetrious Johnson or Dominick Cruz. I'm now wondering how he'd fare against Dominick Johnson and Demetrious Cruz. Either way, Elliott will not have enough time to fill out and submit the paperwork required to change his name before Saturday, so that's an L.
Featherweight – Max "Blessed" Holloway vs Andre "Touchy" Fili
Jessica: Pretty much everything about Fili is amazing. He's a piano key belt in Joe Jitsu, he tweeters and instagrams almost exclusively about pizza, he's a Team Alpha Male, and I get to be semi-hipstery about him by saying "Oh, yeah, I remember watching Tachi Palace Fight streams of him a few years ago, he's pretty good". Holloway is lanky and punches pretty well, but is kinda crappy on the ground. I'm expecting Fili to get Touchy with Max and lock up a second round submission.
Burnsy: "Touchy" is the best fighter nickname in the UFC. I'm picking Fili based on that alone.
Vince: These guys are both lanky, well-rounded strikers, and look sort of like mirror images of each other. That said, Andre Fili's only loss came by way of knee injury and he's fighting a guy whose nickname is a sorority girl's Instagram hashtag. What's his full name, "Max #Blessed #Cardioday #Glutenfree #Selfie Holloway?" Fili.
Danny: Fili's pun nickname may be better than Nick "The Promise" Ring, but it's not nearly as good as The Be Sharps. It's hard to gauge Fili's skill level because he took his debut fight on short notice. He still picked up the win, but he gassed quick and left a lot of holes for counter attacks. A volume puncher who could wear Fili down with solid footwork, he'll struggle with the the power differential. Fili takes the decision.
Eric: Does Holloway have a piano key belt in JoeJitsu? No? Andre 'Touchy' Fili takes it.
Lightweight – Jim Miller vs Yancy Medeiros
Jessica: Like I'm going to pick a dude named Yancy. For actual analysis, I'll say that Miller is a super good grappler when he isn't getting drawn into wild brawls, or fighting his weed-enriched doppelganger (I would have thought the first would be the Healy fight and the second the Diaz one, but whatever). All I know about Yancy is he's Hawaiian and he used to fight at 205, which is madness for normal people, but par for the course for Hawaiians. Miller is going to out grapple the SPAM out of Yancy and get a third round submission victory.
Burnsy: I'm taking Miller, because at 0-1-1, there's nothing impressive about Medeiros in the UFC yet, unless you count his ability to turn a Sprite can into a bong.
Vince: First off, I want to say that it kills me that Yancy's nickname isn't "Fancy." Fancy Yancy Medeiros, come on, that's a walk-off home run right there. Oh right, the fight. Jim Miller is what we call a top-level gatekeeper, better than anyone except the champ and top contender, though I still can't believe he lost to Pat Healy. He's pretty good everywhere, with solid boxing, wrestling, and jizznizitzu, while not especially fast or athletically gifted. I could see him getting out struck by someone faster or out grinded by someone tougher, but Pat Healy is probably the only dude in the world tougher than Jim Miller, and Medeiros seems more tricky than he is fast. I see Miller mixing up takedowns and boxing too well for Medeiros to ever get comfortable enough to be… you know… fancy. Miller.
Danny: Medeiros is another fighter who's hard to evaluate. He's only been inside the Octagon for 5:19, but I liked what I've seen so far. He's a hard puncher that even KOd Yves Edwards (the commission changed the fight to a no contest after Medeiros tested positive for marijuana). Besides taking the fight on short notice, he throws his punches so hard that he often falls out of his stance. Against Edward it opened him up to the counter hook, but against Miller it leaves him vulnerable to takedowns. Miller by rear naked choke in the first.
Eric: Miller is one of my favorite fighters to watch, with his workmanlike style of decent boxing, decent wrestling, and HOLY F*CK WHAT A MONSTER submission attacks. The guy can take a punch too. Medeiros is a late replacement after Bobby Green dropped out, which I think is a better match-up for Miller. Even though he's the inferior striker in this one, I expect Miller's pressure to be too much, overwhelming Medeiros.
Middleweight – Luke Rockhold vs Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch
Jessica: Rockhold (Also known as Surfin' USA) is one of the handsomest men in the UFC, especially with Carlos Condit on the shelf due to catastrophic kneesplosion. Boetsch is basically Ben Rothwell's little brother, and that ain't a good luck for anyone. Rockhold should be able to out-kickbox Boetsch, and hopefully avoid third round uppercut flurries en route to a decision victory.
Burnsy: After being bulldozed by the unstoppable Vitor Belfort at UFC on FX 8, Rockhold knocked out Costas Philippou on Fight Night, and I think he'll do the same against Boetsch.
Vince: Tim Boetsch hasn't shown me much since his flukey (though admittedly totally boss) Bushwhackers uppercut win over Yushin Okami. Meanwhile, Luke Rockhold is super skilled and like eleven feet tall. I have to take Rockhold, even though he's obnoxiously handsome and comes from some Godlike race of real-life superheroes where his brother and father and everyone in his family are pro athletes. I'd like to see him win but f*ck up his beautiful face in the process, just to make me feel better about myself.
Danny: Boetsch likes to attack from the clinch and punch on the inside. He'll have a hard time closing the distance against Rockhold. The former Strikeforce champ has fast, accurate kicks and can change levels at an elite level. Boetsch will be too busy using his hand to block kicks to get on the inside to punch. Rockhold makes "The Barbarian" seem about as dangerous as Hagar the Horrible when he takes it by 2nd round TKO.
Eric: This is a squash match. Rockhold is better in every aspect of MMA and will dominate. He's also really good looking, but I've yet to find a correlation between attractiveness and fighting excellence. I will continue to research.
Light Heavyweight – Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis vs Anthony "Rumble" Johnson
Jessica: My brain still cannot comprehend how Johnson ever made welterweight without dying, but he did it, and wasn't bad at 170. Now he's at his almost-natural weight of 205, and he's actually got some cardio to go along with his power. Phil Davis is still going to wrestle all over him, though. I'd like to see another Mr. Wonderful submission, but I'll settle for Davis winning by body triangle in the first round.
Burnsy: Phil Davis will win. Wait, let me clarify – Phil Davis better win. Johnson must be furious that Davis spent all his time at media day shit-talking Jon Jones. But Davis also has to know how stupid he's going to look if he loses. He has to win, so he can face Jones at some point in the near future. Of course, if it's before Gustafsson gets a rematch, I'll be furious, but baby steps.
Vince: I really like Rumble, he seems like a dude I could hang with (Dear Rumble, can we hang? You seem cool. Yours Truly, Vince). I'm really hoping he's a new fighter now that he doesn't have to kill himself making weight. But his historic weakness, other than anorexia, is getting rear naked choked by wrestlers and jiu-jitsu guys (Koscheck, Vitor, Rich Clementi). Add to that the fact that Phil Davis doesn't tend to get hit much, and I gotta figure Mr. Wonderful wrestlef*cks Rumble into the canvas. Of course I'll be rooting for Rumble, because Davis's last few fights have been more boring than a Peter Jackson movie. If you ask me, the most interesting thing about Phil Davis is the picture they used for his Wikipedia page:
Jeans and no shirt, hobo style. I wonder where he's going? Maybe he got a stain on the shirt? Somebody get that guy some Shirt in a Can.
Danny: Davis will fight Johnson much like he fought Lyoto Machida. He'll stay on the outside, refuse to engage and probably go for a last minute takedown. Machida is counter puncher, so that strategy worked. Johnson doesn't have that finesse. He comes at you with brute force and tries to hurt you. Davis's chin has never been tested and we'll finally see if he can withstand a solid punch. Johnson is always prone to fatigue, but he's my upset special. Johnson rumbles his way to the decision win.
Eric: If Davis can take Johnson down (and it's likely that he will be able to), he wins rather easily. He's got slick submissions and Rumble tends to fold up shop after hitting the mat. Johnson always has a puncher's chance because his limbs are loaded with heavyweight power, but Davis is very good at avoiding damage. Give me Mr. Wonderful.
Light Heavyweight – Jon "Bones" Jones vs Glover Teixeira
Jessica: Jones is one of the top "awesome in the cage, turd-man in real life" fighters out there, and that's even if you assume his recent homophobic Instagram tirade was the result of a hacked and stolen phone. Other than that massive Swede-tooth he's got an issue with, Jones has wrecked house on pretty much everyone. Glover does hit super-duper hard, and he's got good submissions, but there's a flashing neon sign that reads "GOT WOBBLED BY RYAN BY GOD BADER IN 2013″ that's giving me panic attacks. Jones punches way better than Bader, plus he's not prone to leaping face-first into counters, so I expect ol' Snitchster Christian to triumph. Jones wins by second round KO.
Burnsy: I do not buy Jones's claim that he was only fighting at 80% against Gustafsson. If that was true, he would have had to have stepped it up to 100% at some point when he realized that Gustafsson was fighting on overdrive. I hope Jones is 100% for this fight, because I want him to keep the title so we can get Jones-Gustafsson II. Jones wins.
Vince: You could boil down my basic fight picking strategy to "never bet on someone doing something you've never seen before." I've never seen Jon Jones be threatened by anyone he has a big reach advantage over. Jon Jones is brilliant at using his reach to keep shorter fighters at a distance, as Mike Goldberg never tires of telling us seven times per fight, regardless of who's fighting, apropos of nothing. One time his wife asked him to pass the butter and he said, "Hey, honey, you know who's great at utilizing his reach advantage? Light heavyweight champ Jon Jones."
I think he screams it out when he cums. Anyway, Glover is a beast, but until I see someone negate Jones' reach, I can't pick against him. Also, Teixeira got wobbled by both Bader and Fabio Maldonado, in between punchasizing them to death with chingasos from hell. I see Jones using his length to Rampage Jackson Teixeira to a somewhat disappointing decision.
Danny: Being exposed by Alexander Gustafsson and the recent Instagram controversy has caused many to predict the end of the "Bones" era. Not only are those people off base, but I can't believe they'd ever want to get David Boreanaz off television (I don't care what he did to Buffy, I still like him). Teixeira has powerful hands, but he's basically a younger, fast Rampage Jackson who's far less likely to sexually assault reporters. He doesn't bring anything to the table that Jones has not already seen. Expect that champ to soften Glover up with kicks and straight shots. Once Teixeira starts to slow down, Jones will turn it up, take him down, and secure the TKO.
Eric: The UFC says Teixeira is Jones's biggest threat to date. I disagree. He's a predictable power puncher with an average gas tank and an unproven ground game. I see two ways this fight plays out: Jones takes Teixeira down early and beats him senseless to prove a point or Jones outstrikes Texieira for three rounds to wear him down and secures a late TKO/KO victory or unanimous decision.
Bring on Gustafsson and Cormier.

Talking Images: Where Journalism Meets Local Character
If you're a HarmonyWishes follower, I think we can assume you have good taste, no? ☺ We may also assume that you have some interest in quality images. I've got you pegged, right?
I've been hard at work on a multimedia project here in my neighborhood in Oaxaca. Gathering a group of local illustrators, photographers, graphic designers, animators, musician and audio makers (to name a few), we've been creating a multimedia portrait of one of the oldest neighborhoods in Oaxaca—Xochimilco. It's fun to say! Here, let me help you: soh-chee-MĒL-koh.
It's been exciting and challenging to find ways to characterize and narrate the story of these cobblestone streets. The process has made me think about how images are used to tell different stories. I've been hunting down examples where photography and sound are used to convey a variety of messages. I thought I might share a few of those sites with this "image-engaged" crowd. Here's the first of several posts on my findings.
This is one of my favorite multi-media offerings on the NY Times website. The series was produced by Sarah Kramer and Alexis Mainland, with photographs from Todd Heisler. Here's how they describe the project:
New York is a city of characters. On the subway and in its streets, from the intensity of Midtown to the intimacy of neighborhood blocks, is a 305-square-mile parade of people with something to say. This is a collection of a few of their passions and problems, relationships and routines, vocations and obsessions. A new story will be added weekly.
So often these local stories don't make it to the inked pages of national papers like the Times. I would wager that expanded reader use of online versions of newspapers has made it possible, and even necessary, for them to spotlight feature stories on the small scale, with personal character and universal appeal. These are stories about people like you and me—told with quality. You'll hear about Henrique Prince, the subway busker, or Alexandra Elman, the blind wine taster. Check out their depository; it is immense (but easy to sift through) and fascinating. I'm a fan!
I encourage you to think about the many ways the images in HarmonyWishes' collection tell a story. By sharing that image you extend the story past the lens or paintbrush, and into the lives of your own community. Are you curious to know from where a particular image was drawn, or what the story is behind it?
Well, let us know! We're happy to share.

Fast FAST FACTS AND CONCEPTS #244 PDF
Authors: Rene Claxton MD and Robert Arnold MD
Background: Opioid analgesics are effective in relieving both cancer and chronic non-malignant pain but can be misused and abused by patients and others (1, 2). Clinicians need to identify patients at risk of misusing prescribed opioids in order to prescribe and monitor opioid therapy safely. This Fast Fact discusses how clinicians can screen for risk of misuse. See Fast Facts #68, 69, 110, and 127 for further discussions about differentiating pain complaints from abuse, urine drug testing, and substance use disorders in palliative care patients.
Definitions: Medication misuseis the intentional or unintentional use of a prescribed medication other than as directed. Misuse can include a patient taking more pain medicine than prescribed to control otherwise inadequately controlled pain as well as abusive and addictive behaviors. Abuse refers to the intentional self-administration of a medication for non-medical purpose or the use of an illegal drug. Addiction is a primary, chronic disease defined by one or more of the following behaviors: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving (4). Aberrant behavior is a research term defined differently by various investigators which typically includes activities of misuse and abuse.
Benefits of Screening: Opioid therapy is a safe and effective treatment for pain in many patients. However, opioid misuse carries the risk of development of addiction, overdose, and death which require providers to balance individual patient's pain and risk levels. Patients with high risk for opioid misuse should not necessarily be denied opioid therapy but should be followed under closer supervision than those patients with lower risk estimates. In patients with short life expectancies, clinicians may be willing to accept greater risk in prescribing opioids than in patients with chronic non-malignant pain. However, providers should remember that opioids do not improve quality of life for patients who misuse them as a remedy for other symptoms such as anxiety or existential suffering, and that active substance abuse is as devastating to terminally ill patients and families as it is to others (5).
Risk Factors: Risk factors for misuse can be grouped into three categories: biological, social and psychological. Biological risk factors include family history of drug abuse and male gender. Social risk factors include poor social support and history of convictions related to drugs or driving while impaired by substances. Psychological risk factors include a personal history of substance abuse (including alcohol or tobacco), pre-adolescent history of sexual abuse, and co-morbid psychiatric illness (i.e. major depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorder) (6).
Screening for Misuse: No screening tests have been developed to screen for opioid misuse specifically in cancer patients. However, several screening tests predict the potential for opioid misuse in patients with chronic non-malignant pain. Common instruments include the Screener and Opioid Assessment for Pain Patients (SOAPP) and the Opioid Risk Tool (ORT). While these tools can be applied to patients seen in palliative care settings (such as cancer patients or patients with advanced illnesses), clinicians should be aware they have not been validated in these patient populations. Clinicians should always keep in mind that these are screening tools used to identify high-risk patients appropriate for close monitoring and further assessment, but are not diagnostic tools to diagnose substance use disorders or to definitively identify patients who should not be prescribed opioids for pain. In addition, they do not assess the risk of diversion of drugs by family or community members.
Which method is the best way to predict opioid misuse or abuse?: In a study of 48 chronic pain patients, the sensitivity of predicting aberrant behavior was compared using three different methods: a trained psychologist's clinical interview, SOAPP and ORT. The clinical interview showed highest sensitivity (77%). SOAPP showed a sensitivity of 73% (score ≥6 as cut-off). ORT showed sensitivity of 45% (score ≥4 as cut-off) (9).
Bottom Line: Given the limited number of studies comparing and validating these instruments, it is reasonable to choose a measure based on practicality such as familiarity, ease and time of completion or patient versus provider administration (both the SOAPP and ORT can be completed by patients in less than 10 minutes). Regardless of whether one uses a tool, a thorough history including personal and family history of psychiatric conditions, substance abuse, and sexual abuse is key to identifying patients who need closer assessment and monitoring.

I am trying to make zoom in Y axis in PtTrend by getting maximum and minimum value of PtTrend and then setting those
values anew. Unfortunately I cannot get them properly(their values displayed in console are wrong). I use PtGetResource
function a lot and it's working well but not in this case. Could you tell me why is it hapening?
Secondly, I would like to zoom in X axis also, but I do not know how to send table with trend data from feeding callback
to other callback which will make zoom(I plan to make zoom X by displaying only part of all data on whole PtTrend).
Could you tell me how to do it?
Lastly, could you give me some advice about which widget is the best for activate zoom callback? For now I use buttons.
I am a beginner so forgive me those questions.
Thank you for your patience and your help in advance.

Dragonflies are clever fliers—they can hover, accelerate quickly, stop on a dime, glide, and even fly backwards. As Festo notes, "For the first time, there is a model that can master more flight conditions than a helicopter, plane and glider combined."
Festo's dragonfly is a marvel to watch move.
The robot is driven by nine servos, a battery, and an ARM microcontroller stowed in a flexible polyamide and terpolymer structure. The head and tail are moved by passing an electrical current through nitinol muscles. The computer controls the frequency (15–20 Hz), twisting (90 deg), and amplitude (50 deg) of its four carbon fiber and foil wings and, by taking in a constant stream of wing data and body position, corrects for vibration for stable flight indoors or out.
BionicOpter makes all the necessary adjustments automatically. The human pilot need merely steer it by smartphone.
It's no secret Festo has a healthy respect for nature, especially evolutionary engineering. In tandem with universities, colleges, and development companies, their Bionic Learning Network has been pumping out biomimicking robots for years. And of course, we've covered a good number of them: the elephant-inspired Bionic Handling Assistant, the AirPenguin, the Air-ray and AquaJelly. The BionicOpter's direct predecessor was the SmartBird, whose smooth wing action impressed a 2011 TED audience.
But this robotic dragonfly might be their most complicated and impressive creation yet. It shows off just how much can be accomplished with today's ultralight materials, miniature microcontrollers and sensors, and smart algorithms. We look forward to the first full-size dragonfly-inspired machine that includes a human pilot in the cockpit.
