Are you kidding me? I started working toward this when gas was only 86 cents.
I would continue down the path of less consumerism and more efficiency regardless of what the price of oil is.
Exactly John,many dont know that there are quite a few of us already doing this.Where we wont say but as for me personally I am 30% or so self sufficient and working towards more.As for how much wood from one acre sustainably 1/4 cord can be had from a deep forest every year,far from enough to keep one warm the winter.I can manage with 4-6 cord.For me I'd do an electric vehicle or an engine fired from homemade fuel,they've been doing that in Europe for years.Can't do peaches up here,too cold sorry.Do I despair,no.Do I think this this is the kick in the butt this country's needed in the last 70-80 years YES!We've had it too easy too long IMO.
Now we have competition.We've sold off the industries that gave us cheap gas overseas and now we pay a premium for it.You heard the Saudis,they hit the nail right on the head.Why should they increase production for us?There is no gas shortage,if you'll pay $4.10/gal then thats what they're going to sell it for,simple as that.Too bad is what they;re saying and we have no clout with them anymore,they have better customers now.This is why I've been saying over and over again,stop using oil!!!Its too bad we've lost a lot of the ways of how we used to do things 70 years ago before OPEC,etc.Many wont survive this I dont think,many will move to warmer climates I am going to guess because up here fuel oil it going to be $4.50-5.50/gal this winter.Many are already going broke up here,many 'for sale' signs.
As far as roving gangs,well thats the chance one takes,good that one can still protect what he/she owns.I would have no hesitation of using a gun to protect what I owned,but I am not a nut in the woods with a gun,I use it only if I have to.
I think that we should not look at rising prices and think that the price of this or that commodity is going up. The reality is that our money, our currency, or means of exchange is being devalued. This is being done intentionally. This is what we get for allowing our various (a worldwide problem..) means of exchanges to be created from nothing by a few ultra rich foreigners or world-based bankers. To use a currency that can be debased, most of us will pay the price of having less and less. A very few will wind up with more...it is NOT by coincidence, it is by design. The only real solution to that problem is a move to currencies that they can not do that to (barter is one way). Monies based on and tied or pegged to limited supply commodities would be much harder to debase than our old debt-based paper nothings that we now allow them to create in unlimited amounts and at virtually no cost to them. Why should WE pay interest on something to someone who created that currency from nothing and then lends it to US?? We need to wake up and see that that system allows them to make us progressively more and more their slaves. Rather than just shoulder an increasingly heavier and heavier burden for our masters, don't you think it might be a wiser choice to work towards shifting our means of exchange towards one that cannot be artificially and continually declined in value?
As far as living greener, using less energy, consuming less, recycling, polluting less, growing our own food? YES, I am all for all of those things! Having been actively working in that direction for a long time. Heck, I've been reading Mother's magazine since I was in high school (that was a long time ago...)
Incidently, regarding the "energy shortage": The north slope of Alaska contains untapped oil fields that exceed the volume of the reserves of the middle east. Estimates are that just this one untapped "Gull Island" reserve could meet the petroleum energy needs of America for the next 200 years and free us from having to import petroleum entirely. We need to ask Atlantic Richfield and the other companies involved why they are not tapping into these reserves that were discovered in the late 1960s-early 1970s and then made classified information out of. We could be paying less than $1.50/gallon for gas in less than one year, and be on our way to having a strong economy once again. Don't take my word on this, research it yourself: Google "Gull Island Reserves"
It seems that the current "petroleum energy shortage" is more political than it is geological.
Any medium of exchange has a cost paid to its 'owner'... even those developed by free enterprise.
Oil prices include the cost of recovery and transport to the refinery. The demand is near what the pipelines and tankers can supply. Refining locations and capacity are also limited.
Its just for some... they ride the wave up and down. Demand will fall the next few years in the US as our economy ages... but the price will climb as the US$ continues to fall.
I refused to be roped into a doomsday line of thought, the future is always uncertain and our way of life could be changed forever, it becomes a question of our collective ability to change also. Americans before the United States as well as since have faced great challanges and have always raised to the occassion. We are not facing a threat of the collaspe of our money system and facing world war on two fronts, nor the aftermath and reconstruction of a civil war. What we are facing is the dying of a petrolum industry and the beginning of alterative enegry, we are facing climate change and must do things differently, we are facing food shortage for most of the world, (I collected for the poor back in fifties) inspite of these and other social problems I believe that we can over come this. My responsibilty is to make my foot print smaller by putting into practice use, reuse, use again, reuse again ect. grow some of my food, buy local, its your responsibity also. I'm now going to chop up the soapbox and put into outdoor furnace, a least will get a few BTU's .
I am not participating. God will supply all my needs. I have done due diligence in preparing, and am confident that whatever I have not thought of, will be taken care of just the same. It always has been. I have no reason to doubt this now.
The main thing I think today's American has an issue that is a tremendous stumbling block, is that they are too much in the consumer mode, and not enough in a mode of doing things for themselves. Katrina came along and people just sat and waited for "someone else" to do something. We found out the hard way that the government wasn't going to do it. We're seeing that in Myanmar(sp?)(formerly known as Burma). The Chinese government seems to be doing as good as can be expected with the huge earthquakes they've had lately, but even still, there are hundreds of thousands of suffering people out there that the government hasn't been able to help.
So in the end, people are expecting "someone else" to "do something". Today's citizen; today's society, expects "someone else" to be responsible. We have to anticipate and do a certain amount of things for ourselves. This society wasn't built by pure consumers. This society was built by pioneers, willing to do for themselves, because there was no one there to do it for them. They braved the uncharted seas; the undriven paths. They conquered the land. They didn't just sit around and wait for it all to be done for them.
So we have to take on the responsibility for ourselves. Unfortunately, apart from a few on forums like this, I see most people either clueless that catastrophy isn't just something seen on tv (halfway around the world), but that it could happen to them tomorrow; or I see people complaining about how the government (or someone else) isn't doing enough.

I don't think anyone is suggesting the collapse of the monetary system... just a continuation of the devaluation.
Since most of the MEN forum participants are proactive, rather than reactive, we may wish to center the discussion around what changes we expect to see...
I am seeing an increase in wood/pellet use locally... and many more gardens. My uncle was even upset last Christmas when his organic farm saw a drop in consumers. I had to explain that more people are recognizing their ability to garden for themselves. Also see the Park'n'Rides (used for carpooling) with more vehicles in them.
But beyond that I'm seeing the sale of more landscape tools and snowblowers as people decide to forgo the lawn care and snowplowing services and do it themselves.
The changes in each region should be pretty interesting, as we all pay roughly the same for energy... but have a dramatically different local economy.
My next door neighbors' expressed some interest in doing a small 2 family garden and I'm setting up a barn for equipment and a few chickens.Its a start,hopefully in the right direction,our gardens pretty much planted;I need to acquire a freezer also.So yes me personally I am setting up for a 'long haul';we are seeing a slow demise of petroleum,we know now as a society that one fuel source in the hands of a few is a dangerous combination and must be dealt with foremost.Getting the mindset that this is indeed going to be the case from now on is no easy pill to swallow but a neccesary one.Thing is there are vast reserves of oil and gas untapped and untouched,more than we've ever seen;North Slope is just one.Getting to those reserves is a whole other story.North Slope of AK is normally -60 with the wind blowing 100 mph constantly and the middle of the ocean is 10-25,000 feet deep,making oil recovery a far riskier business than it is close to shore.We've realized we've crossed the 'worth it' line and now its time to find or do something else.We've run the reciprocating engine past its engineering lifespan,we're way overdue to do something else.
What steps would you take to prepare if you knew that five years from now everything would cost 10 times what it costs now — gas, food, electricity, solar panels, hybrid cars — everything, but your income would not change? What would you do now to be in a better place to cope?
To stay on target, I started with a quote.
I have reduced the miles of travel to 7000 per annum... might even be able to go lower. But my major concern in this area would be the maintenance of roads. Road maintenance within this region is highly energy consumptive... and the weather sporadic and unwielding. I would guess that snow removal would be limited to out-of-the-picture... and the underlying surface not much better than some of the secondary roads in the area (asphalt-rough, dirt-muddy/rutted). My guess is large corporations in an attempt to survive would go to trains... or at least ponder seriously that direction.
Not sure exactly what cuts I would make in electricity (8kW/daily), but I'm sure I would find some... always room for improvement. Site isn't really conducive to production, but maybe at that economic level it may be worth it. As for food, cut back to the basics...
I'm planting my garden now. It is my 23rd annual at this spot. My hot water is free (solar and woodstove coils). The car I'm driving still only gets 20-23mpg and it burns premium ($3.91/gal. for best price in county today). But it does have a cavernous trunk and serves well for my shopping and travelling needs for now. It gets driven seldom, because my work is at home and business comes to me. Between the car and the one ton pickup, both, the mileage last year was under 5000 total. They are both paid for long ago, and need little for upkeep, so investment in a thriftier ride is not cost effective...yet.... My home is solely wood heat, and two cords a year does me for heat and winter hot water. Usually the wood is bartered for my welding, or I cut it myself. I prefer to barter for it because my time is better spent welding. I have around 3-4 years supply of wood ahead, and need to increase my woodshed space so I can long-term store more. Self-reliance? yes, I've been working on that for a long time here. I've been stocking up my business supplies such as nuts and bolts and welding supplies for years. Whenever a good bulk deal comes up on ebay I buy. I shop a lot on ebay or online because it avoids driving. We're a-ways from town, and many local folks come here to my shop because its closer than the store in town. People ride bicycles around here more and more. Cars drive less and less. Town is dead-looking in the evenings, and even slower-looking in the daytime also, since the dollar is falling. Thankfully, for now, my cottage industry manufacturing gig is still doing well, even growing! I wholesale to a customer who markets retail online the fabricated products I produce. Thats just one customer, I also have a walk-in retail fabrication shop with many other customers. I have a lot to give thanks for, and I do it often. To God, and with the work I do for all of my customers, who continue to bless me with their business and referrals.
Just had to share all that lest some might think that I'm just a doom-and-gloom negative kind of guy.
Awareness of reality, however, is a very good thing in my book. Sometimes reality is not pretty. That doesn't mean I'm negative, just trying to help other's awareness....
Here's a good poem about awareness a friend turned me on to. It is a link to an online video at youtube, so you'll need high-speed internet to view:
We've turned our thermostat to 52 degrees at night and raise it to 60 when we are in the house. If we want to be warmer we fire up the woodstove.
The heater is a kerosene monitor heater and can run on an inverter if needed. It only needs to power the fan.
We bought next years firewood already. Cheaper to buy it green at this time of year and let it season.
Starting tomorrow I'm riding a bicycle to work. It's a short hop. My wife is thinking as well. She would have to ride 3 miles on a main highway, so we are going to do a test run one weekend to check it out.
Our newly purchased fixer upper is in town and has a small lot. We haven't put in raised beds yet but will soon and if we don't provide all our veggies, we will at least provide some.
It's a fixer upper, so to save money, I'm learning to be a carpenter, plumber, landscaper etc. I'm calling myself an urban homesteader.
Under the scenerio projected, gasoline would be $30 per gallon... that major highway would be just a unmaintained ribbon of asphalt with hardly a sole on it.
I've split firewood with an axe before, but sawing and transporting it without fuel would really be a new experience.
Hey John,
Regardless of what happens with fuel or food, 10 years from now I want to start transitioning toward retirement. We already grow most of our vegetables, and have room to expand to grow grain, so when time is not in such short supply we'll get some poultry and maybe a few goats.
I'm only partially thinking about survival, though. Instead of looking into the swirling pot of fear to see what I might not have, I look forward to what I will have. The fuel crisis will continue to unfold as it's been doing for 35 years, but it won't change the fact that you only get one life. I think I'll live it more wisely with chickens.
Like your slant, fear is not the issue change is. Body by Fisher were in the carriage business in the horse era, when all business assoicated with horses were folding up and going out of business because of the automobile, they didn't, they simply change to making car bodies. We will have to change also to a different engry source, I would guess electric as there are many means to generate. I do think we will be buying food closer to home and maybe small mom and pop farms could fill a niche? Transportation is always the big problem, has been since the beginning and will always be a challange. The Victory gardens of WW2 will start springing up, read in one of the posts about some neighbors working together.
Barbra,exactly what Gary said,though I may add also that for people of our age group(45 and younger)the real realization is that there is going to be no 'retirement' per se for us because by the time we get to your age the 'cost of life' will be so prohibitive that any 401k savings or investments will be gobbled up by the tiny value of our currency by that time.So for us who are 45 and younger getting to know how to get by with nearly nothing is going to be very important.
Making and buying food,drying clothes outside,very rarely driving anywhere, making our own power( because in 20 years the cost could be .50/kwh or much higher)will be necessary.The large majority of us will be extremely poor,many crushed under debt loads ten times our iuncome.
Now its all in the way one looks at it.I'm not roped into a doomsday projection either,though the world is changing right now rapidly,and not in our favor on this side of the world.Europe and Japan have been dealing with the same issues we have had crop up for generations.
It is hard to imagine things costing 10x more, five years from now. All I can do is what I can do today. I am only on year 2 of having a veggie garden, and I am slowly learning to cook from scratch (very slowly!). Making a transition to consume less is not easy and not quick. I feel I am heading the right direction, toward being more self sufficient and more efficient. My timeline goes far beyond 5 years.
Garden. Get a garden going. Also, adjust your diet now. Find meals that are less expensive, and if at all possible, learn to cook at home and use real food, not processed and packaged foods (easy meals, the microwavable kind). Those easy meals are much more expensive than the raw foods that someone can prepare, cook and eat, saving a lot in a month; especially if you're cooking for a family.
You need a dog or two to keep people from pilfering your garden, but the dogs eat too, so you'll need to get dogs capable of running people off, but not so large that they cost a bunch to feed. Train them to stay out of the garden, but situate the garden so that they can protect it.
Set your thermostat up in the summer and a little bit down in the winter. This will let your body to adjust to termperature so that if electricity is even more expensive in a few years (and it will be), then it wont cost you so much to be comfortable. I can tell you that when I was growing up, we didn't even have A/C and I don't recall being that uncomfortable. It has only been since I have become spoiled to A/C that I notice when I don't have it. So learn to be comfortable without it, or at least with it used a little bit less than now.
I hate to sound like a greeny (although I have many of the same sentiments), but changing your household light bulbs (over a period of time) to compact flourescents will save a bundle on the electric bill. My wife and I did this several years ago, and I can tell you that this is true.
In addition, go to a wholehouse demand water heater. We bought one after a hot water tank burst and flooded our house (and ruined carpet, etc). The demand water heater has no tank, so it only uses fuel to heat water, when there's an immediate demand for hot water. So while you're off at work (or on vacation) no fuel is being used, because no hot water is needed at that time. We saved a bundle on natural gas, and noticed this the first month or two. It was also a good selling point when we sold the house, because the buyers liked the idea.
In our house we've built in the country, we installed another whole house water heater (this one runs on propane) and we are grateful to have it. We hardly use any of the propane at all. It's very efficient. We only use propane for cooking and for this water heater, and in a year's time, our propane tank has never dropped below 50% capacity. And it's only a 250 gallon tank, so our propane usage is minimal thanks to not having to heat water all the time (even when it's not being used).
There are nother money saving measures that can be taken, but these are the big ones to start with.
I think everyone is missing the scope of what is being suggested. There will be no road maintenance. Road maintenance is mostly paid for through gas taxes...
Employment will be hard to come by, and anything transported distance will be exhorbitant in price.

I'm not sure that even makes sense
Phoronix: Wayland Platform Support For Mesa's EGL
Benjamin Franzke, an independent open-source developer, has published patches that provides Wayland EGL support for Mesa. This provides a EGL Wayland platform library so that it can be used by this new display server as an alternative to X...
I'm not sure that even makes sense
Be cool, I don;t know even what it means
It sounds like it allows Mesa to run inside Wayland now? I thought that was already possible, though.
EGL is an API to talk to a windowing system to get a rendering context.
It can sit directly above the hardware drivers. This is what Wayland has been using. It lets Wayland get a rendering context from Gallium so it can actually composite windows to your display framebuffer.
The actual applications need to get a context too, though. On X, they use GLX to ask the X server to return a context associated with an X window. On Wayland, GLX does not exist or even make sense. So some other API needs to be used by client applications. Wayland could invent some new proprietary context API, like GLX or WGL or AGL. Or it could just use this neat existing API called EGL that it's already using itself.
So EGL can be used by client applications to ask Wayland for a rendering context. That means that the system EGL library needs to know how to ask Wayland for a context. That's what this patch implements.
EGL can already be used over X11 or Windows or so on. EGL requires some small glue to connect it to the native system (be that a complete windowing system or a low-level driver/framebuffer abstraction like KMS). This is just the glue for Wayland.
Or, as was said in the e-mail linked to in the article, a header file was added (to wayland) which may be used by other programs that wish to use EGL/Wayland. The header defines what applications have to implement. It interfaces with a corresponding library (the patch sent to the mesa-dev list) in mesa. (paraphrasing/making things up as I go, source: mesa-dev, mesa-patch)

Amanda UR'd. Plus they do a 3T, and T/T fall on 3S. Fall worth 2.3. UR worth 1.9 Of course the fall gets -1 deduction, but still.
Steps only level 2. That is something fixable for E&L
M&B and D&C got level 4 on the steps! excellent.

Steps only level 2. That is something fixable for E&L
M&B and D&C got level 4 on the steps! excellent.
Amanda did get an UR call on her 3T. Plus, their straightline step sequence got level 2, whereas all the teams ahead of them (except for Sui/Han) got level 4. Throw in the -GOE and that about explains the TES difference. They did get a massive boost in PCS. And their overall score is still very competitive with the top teams.
T/T's SBS jumps wound up a net 1.3 vs. E/L's 1.9. Where E/L lost out to them in base value is in the step levels and their twist lift level. But what really put T/T ahead is their GOE. T/T got no less than +1 GOE on all their elements except their pair spin and of course, the SBS jump. In fact, if the judges like their elements so much, why isn't their PCS higher? Are T/T really slow or something?
M/B, D/C AND E/L got level 4 on the steps sequence at US nationals. I don't know what made the difference here for E/L. I do know I really did not enjoy D/C's painfully slow step sequence.
I do not understand how judges could possibly give Sui/Han scores of 8.00 for skating skills. What a joke! Same for Denney and Coughlin - they were slow and rough.
Overall, I thought the PCS judging was reallly, really off tonight.
Judges tend to get really tired of a team where the side by side jumps are never completed. This certainly was true with Inoue & Baldwin. You could expect Baldwin to double or fall. Likewise you can expect Takahashi to fall. Perhaps it has an effect on one or more component marks.
Evora/Ladwig really should have been top 3. Was her SBS jump really more underrotated than Narumi Takahashi's (which wasn't UR)? I would have to look at it again. And I wonder why they only got Level 2 on the step sequence.
I'm glad they got rewarded for PCS. They probably should have had the highest PCS, but I understand giving the clear 1st place team, S/H, the highest PCS. Still, I wish the judges would do a better job differentiating between teams. E/L should NOT have scored pretty much the same as the other Americans on the lift.

Ouch. What happened to all three Canadian teams? I didn't watch.
She also screws up the 2A on a regular basis.
I don't think this is officially in COP anywhere (although I quit really following the Pairs rules some time ago), but pairs with big jumps routinely get more PCS respect than pairs who never complete their jumps, even if they end up with the same base value.
The usual PCS thing in dance & singles is speed. Pairs too, but John & Rena had good speed and good knees. But lousy jumps.
The play by play is earlier in the thread. It was more the American teams skated the best I've seem them do, all getting personal bests. So it isn't so much that the Canadians skated badly. They had little errors. But this is the home rink for 2 of the American teams. And it's at altitude. It's no surprise the top 2 Americans did well. And the altitude may effect some of the other teams.
Duhamel/Radford were uncharacteristically messy. Lawrence/Swiegers were a little rough.
Dube/Wolfe had a poor catch on their triple twist, but they skated well otherwise. I thought they deserved a higher score and higher GOE for their jumps and throw, but the Lvl 1 pairs spin definitely didn't help. Plus, I sensed a bit of home cooking for the US teams in the early going. They weren't doing anyone else any favors.

The judges have really been bunching the scores together in the Pairs SP this season. 2nd-8th are separated by only 6 pts. They pretty much just seem to want the LP to determine everything.

Gangrene is the progressive death of body tissue resulting from a lack of blood supply. When the blood supply is cut off, the tissue does not get enough oxygen and begins to die.
Gangrene can be internal or external. The two most common types of gangrene are:
A rare wet type, called gas gangrene, develops from specific bacteria deep inside the body. Gas gangrene can be a result of surgery or trauma.
Gangrene is more common in older adults.
Factors that may increase your chance of developing gangrene include:

LINDBERG Acetanium Eyewear style 1232. Sleek clean and high-tech design. If the weight of your glasses is an issue then this frame is the solution. As the name suggests, LINDBERG Acetanium is a combination of acetate and titanium. The front of the frame is made from acetate, while titanium has been used for the temples, bridge and temples. This has allowed for a minimalist design, resulting in a light and elegant frame. Furthermore, the reinforcement of the bridge forms the basis for the flexible and adjustable nose-pad arms which are also known from LINDBERG's other frame collections. With Acetanium, LINDBERG has combined the best features of acetate and titanium to make a light, aesthetic and, above all, comfortable frame which is bound to set a new standard for minimalist design. For the sake of durability, conventional acetate frames have been very solid around the bridge and hinges, which has made them relatively heavy and stiff – and difficult to adapt to the face. However, fifteen years of working with titanium as an eyewear material has provided LINDBERG with the necessary experience and expertise for the company to be able to develop an acetate frame which meets the company's philosophy of producing lightweight, comfortable eyewear in an elegant and functional design.
This frame is a classic black acetate front, combined with matching acetate temples and asphalt titanium temple hinge and connections. Hygienic nose pads and temple covers are made from medical silicone for comfort.
The lenses can be made in prescription or non-prescription by us or your local optical boutique for an additional charge.
LINDBERG Eyewear is hand-made in Denmark.
Included with this frame is an authentic LINDBERG eyeglass case, a cleaning cloth and cleaning spray.
Eyewear advice is available from our professional frame stylist with our Personalized Service.

Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than standard lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are made from a similar material to that of bulletproof glass, these lenses are 10 times more impact resistant than standard plastic lenses however this material is relatively soft, subsequently polycarbonate lenses need a scratch-resistant coating to prevent surface scratches. These lenses are for low-to-moderate prescriptions of 0.00 to +/- 3.00. If your prescription is higher than this, we suggest HI INDEX material.
High Index 1.67 are recommended for prescriptions ranging from +/- 3.00 to +/- 6.00 to keep the lenses the thinnest possible. High-index 1.67 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 40%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
High-Index 1.74 is the thinnest lens possible today. High-index 1.74 lenses are an alternative choice to standard, plastic lenses reducing the thickness and weight of an eyeglass lens up to 50%, particularly for individuals with a strong prescription. These lenses are recommended for prescription that range from +/- 6.00 and higher. This lens comes with UV400 treatment and scratch resistance as standard.
Transitions or sometimes called Photochromic lenses are lenses that darken into sunglasses on exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Once the UV is removed (for example by walking indoors), the lenses will gradually return to their clear state. These features make Transition or photochromic lenses a great convenience, by reducing your need to wear prescription sunglasses in most outdoor conditions.
Polarized sunglasses are specialized lenses designed to reduce glare and increase contrast sensitivity. Glare distorts the true color of objects and makes them harder to distinguish. Unlike traditional sunglasses, polarized sunglasses selectively block out glare instead of dimming the entire field of vision. Polarized sunglasses are popular with sports enthusiasts, including skiers, golfers, bikers and joggers, fisherman, as well as the general public.
There is a huge variety of colors shades and intensity that prescription glasses can be fashion tinted in. Fashion tints provide variety and create special looks for both men and women by accenting, complementing or bringing out their eye color.
Crizal Avance is a premium Anti-Reflective coating applied to the surface of lenses to reduce reflection. Anti-reflection lenses decrease reflection making eyewear look better, less glare is particularly noticeable when driving at night or working in front of a computer monitor. The decreased glare means wearers often find their eyes are less tired, particularly at the end of the day. Allowing more light to pass through the lens also increases contrast and therefore increases visual acuity.

Never saw Hatchet I or II so I'm pretty sure I won't see III either
The official teaser trailer for Hatchet III has arrived. It has your assortment of horror film actors that we all recognize, but only that only the true horror aficionado can name. And it is for those aficionados that I post this teaser trailer. Enjoy.
Official Press Release: MPI/Dark Sky Films announced today that June 14th will be the official release date for HATCHET III, the third entry in the popular franchise created by ArieScope Pictures' Adam Green. The film marks the directorial debut of BJ McDonnell who previously has handled A and B camera operations on such features as Rob Zombie's Halloween remake, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and Adam Green's first two Hatchet films.
HATCHET III is set to open in New York City's Cinema Village and in Los Angeles at Laemmle Music Hall. Opening week will feature special appearances by cast and crew, followed by Q&A's at each location. Additional cities will be announced at a later date.
Danielle Harris and Kane Hodder return in HATCHET III and are joined by Zach Galligan (Gremlins), Derek Mears (Friday the 13th 2009), Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) and others.
HATCHET III continues the tale of the now-iconic villain Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder). As a search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces and carnage left behind from the first two films, Marybeth (Danielle Harris) hunts down the true secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left the ghost of Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades.
The sequel, which was filmed outside of New Orleans, Louisiana from late May to mid- June, 2012, is a co-production of MPI/Dark Sky Films and Green's Los Angeles-based ArieScope Pictures.

Incorporation by reference allows agencies to comply with the requirement of publishing rules in the Federal Register to be codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by referring to material published elsewhere.[1] The practice is first and foremost intended to—and in fact does—substantially reduce the size of the CFR. But it also furthers important, substantive regulatory policies, enabling agencies to draw on the...
Incorporation by Reference
Project Stages:
1. Gather ideas - Completed2. Select ideas - Completed
3. Council approval - Completed
4. Picking a researcher - Completed
5. Committee consideration - Completed
6. Back to the council - Completed
7. Consideration by the full conference - Completed
8. Implementation - Current
Incorporation by reference allows agencies to fulfill their legal obligation to publish rules in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by referring to standards or other materials that have been published elsewhere. For example, when an agency adopts a standard created by a private standard-setting organization as a mandatory regulation, it typically publishes the standard by incorporating it by reference into the CFR. Such incorporation by reference is common in part because federal policy requires regulatory agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in lieu of government unique standards where this is not impracticable or inconsistent with statutory mission. This policy builds upon Conference recommendation, No. 78-4, "Federal Agency Interaction with Private Standard-Setting Organizations in Health and Safety Regulations," adopted in December 1978, which encourages the use of voluntary consensus standards in health and safety regulation. In the more than thirty years since the Conference issued Recommendation No. 78-4, agencies have promulgated thousands of regulations that incorporate by reference standards published elsewhere.
The Conference has examined legal and policy issues related to agency use of incorporation by reference. The practice raises common issues that individual agencies deal with differently, and the aim of the Conference's project was to consolidate the dispersed knowledge of affected agencies, identify best practices, and recommend ways to improve the process. Specific challenges addressed include updating regulations that incorporate extrinsic materials by reference, ensuring access to referenced materials, addressing copyright issues that may arise, and finding ways to improve procedures for approving and managing regulations that incorporate other materials by reference.

Functional and stylish wall mount hooks are available to solve a wide variety of small storage problems.
Wall mounted hooks allow you to make use of vertical space to increase organization throughout your home. One of the most popular ways to increase storage in a closet or entryway is to install additional coat hooks; wall mounted coat hooks can be installed one at a time, in an equally spaced row to create a visual line, or randomized if you want fun, funky coat hooks. Wall mounted coat hooks are also a great way to get kids involved in keeping closets tidy.

- Decorative coat hooks-wall mounted: use decorative hooks for coats, caps, clothing or even to hang pictures or mementos in full view.
- Designer coat hooks-wall mounted: make style statement or add to the sleek, modern design of your space with designer coat hooks that tell your story as well as adding function to your space.
- Modern coat hooks-wall mounted: chrome and steel say modern loud and clear, pick a modern coat hook for a minimalist look and clean lines.
- Antique coat hooks-wall mounted: these coat hooks tend to have brass or bronze finishes and decorative, rounded patterns. Great for shabby chic.
- White coat hooks-wall mounted: utility is the word of the day for white coat hooks, they blend into walls and molding so they're ready to work, but don't stand out when not in use.
- Wooden coat hooks-wall mounted: the warmth of wood is a great accent for any space from rustic to modern depending on the decor surrounding it.
When you're looking for places to add coat hooks, don't forget the back of doors -
over the door hooks

Wall mounted hooks aren't just for coats and clothing though, use them in the kitchen for kitchen utensils, towels, and pot holders. In the laundry room wall mount hooks can hold laundry bags, lingerie bags and clothespin bags to free up shelf space. Wall mounted hooks corral cleaning utensils in the utility closet and keep mops and brooms in order. A wall mounted key hook in the mud room or entryway will help keep your family organized and ready to start their day.

During sex, when you ejaculate on your partner's back and the jizz runs down from the shoulder area to the lower back, it makes a pearl river.
Man, when I got done with this girl last night, it looked like a bottle of ranch dressing exploded all over her, you should have seen that pearl river.

"I'm surprised this received such high reviews. My family was unimpressed with this bread. Not a lot of flavor and really nothing special."
"This is about the only kind of zuccini bread i make! My husband never wants anything different.
Hint: 1 fresh lemon is what you need for the juice and zest.""My kids and I absolutely LOVE this recipe! I have made this several times now. I have made a few changes though: I use either french or regular instant vanilla (vs. lemon) pudding. Instead of 1.5 c. sugar, I use 1/2 c. sugar & 1 c. brown sugar. Instead of 4 c. flour, I use 3 c. flour & 1 c. whole wheat flour. I use 3 c. (vs. just 2 c.) shredded zucchini. Also--instead of making two 9x5" loaves, I place the entire batter into a large bundt cake pan (sprayed heavily with Pam) and bake at 350 degrees for a good 55-65 minutes (or until knife comes out clean). This is so moist and delicious - LOVE the addition of the poppyseeds too! My kids gobble up this bread/cake in no time!"
"Mmm so good! Just the right flavor of lemon-froze the other loaf."
"This was really easy and it made two big loaves. It was very moist. I have one loaf in the freezer and I will probably make a little glaze for it when I use it as someone suggested."

Miami State Fishing Lake
Fontana, KS
Manager: Eric Kilburg
Phone: (913) 783-4507
Miami State Lake dates back to 1931, when a private sportsman group was managing it as a 90-acre duck marsh. The Forestry Fish and Game, now Kansas Wildlife and Parks, purchased the lake in 1941 to be managed as a state fishing lake.
Today the Miami State Fishing Lake includes 101 acres of water bounded by about 150 acres of timbered hillsides and the Marais des Cygnes River. The lake and fishery was renovated in 2001. Renovation included removal of the existing fishery, habitat construction, and fish stockings. Initial stockings included largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish, and black crappie. A boat ramp, courtesy dock, fourteen earthen piers, and a vault toilet are available for lake users.
- Vehicles are permitted on maintained roads and parking only.
- Primitive camping is permitted on the earthen piers, but please take your trash with you.
- Alcoholic liquor and ceral malt beverages are prohibited.
- Fires are authorized only in provided metal fire rings and grills.
- Fireworks are prohibited.
- Motorized vessels on state fishing lakes shall be operated for hunting and fishing only.
- Swimming is prohibited.
- Hunting is permitted by legal means during set seasons.

Hahah, I liked this article.
Something I've always wondered: if all these tweaks give extra performance and should be benchmarked instead of the defaults, then why are those tweaks not the defaults? Default values are (normally) set for a good reason, and while I do think that tweaks, multiple hardware configurations, etc, are required for a comprehensive analysis of a particular item, benchmarking alone requires some baseline, and that will be your default system.
When various tweaks prove to be suitable and stable, I'm sure they'll turn into default values.
Hahah, I liked this article.
You're forgetting the possibility that they don't know about other things.clearly most people are content with the defaults.
Seriously, in your benchmarking. People already know about optimizations and benchmarking. The most of your users are already quite experienced with it.
But the more casual user won't know all these things.
The last time I saw someone picking a computer he just looked at the keyboard.
He didn't even look at the memory or the CPU or GPU.
Can you believe that! When I told him that those things were important. He said "what's the difference?".
Please don't throw everybody on a They choose for this so they want it and everything about it. That's a big mistake.
I haven't checked the blobs recently, but the free drivers sync the rendering to the refresh interval of the display by default.
Which means that any and every benchmark will always give a maximum of 60fps on a modern LCD display, using default settings. That is a sane default for most things -- and it removes tearing when playing video, for example -- but makes for an utterly pointless benchmark -- and makes the results less reliable, since most frame rates are cut to 20, 30 or 60 fps.
Which is why most benchmarks disable vsync in order to test the drivers' and the cards' ability to render complex scenes at their limit. And this is already not the default configuration, and introduces tearing. I don't see a fundamental difference between disabling vsync (causes tearing, improves performance) and disabling SwapBuffersWait (causes tearing, improves performance).
Ah, I hadn't considered that one, thanks. Yes, some things like that should probably be mentioned - I had a quick read of the latest ubuntu article (normally I don't read them - what ubuntu does has little to no interest for me) and there was a mention about disabling SwapBuffersWait to improve performance. Perhaps a few more details like that in articles?
I still think testing defaults is ok though, as if nothing else it provides a baseline, but mention of what can skew results (and why it is/isn't done) is definitely useful.
If vsync is off, then this is already not a default configuration.
As for default config as a baseline, I'm all for it. I have nothing against testing the default. But I personally think that Ubuntu has made some bad decisions -- like using Compiz, which cannot suspend compositing on the fly AFAIK -- which harms performance on free drivers disproportionately.
KDE users do not have this issue.
It's unfair if poor defaults (in this case, unrelated to the driver) make the driver look bad.
A lot is wrong with this kind of article, if not merely with the way the testing is done. I posted in some considerable depth about this in December.
One of my main gripes is that even though subject X might gain more from performance tuning than subject Z, subject Z might be favored by the environment and performance/benchmarks articles are all too often used as a decision maker.
- Candidates: XFCE and Gnome
- Test Environment: Old Computer
- (Add performance test results in here)
- Conclusion: XFCE is faster, thus better than Gnome.
The PROBLEM is that people who use performance numbers to make decisions don't always realize (or choose to ignore) the features and any other benefits/advantages of the other subjects in the test.
I explained my gripe with this kind of article in much more detail in the post. In particular I ask numerous questions about the test environment used in the article about the performance of various file systems, and point out specific flaws in the testing and reporting.
you have a tough job.
maybe you just need to be clear why you are doing the benchmarking. that would then influence the options. this site does lots of different sorts of benchmarking for different reasons.
if you are benchmarking to see which distro/OS is fastest, then defaults might be best.
if you want to compare 2 drivers for the same hardware, then you need to make sure the drivers are doing the same task.
if you want to compare several gcc releases then a range of options is good (e.g. does -lto make a difference).
comparing 2 different compiles, i'd say find the fastest option that still makes a functioning program.
for graphics drivers more than FPS than the screen refresh is meaning less and useless for a user. it is fast enough. maybe you need to find more demanding settings for the benchmark.

Meanwhile, Windows RT (Windows for ARM) is utter shit. This is a huge potential for Ubuntu going forward to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Phoronix: Samsung's A15 Chromebook Loaded With Ubuntu Is Crazy Fast
Google recently launched the Samsung Chromebook that for $249 USD features an 11-inch display, a 16GB SSD, a promise of 6.5-hour battery life, and is backed by a Samsung Exynos 5 SoC. The Samsung Exynos 5 packs a 1.7GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor with ARM Mali-T604 graphics. With using this new ARM Cortex-A15 chip plus the Samsung Chromebook not being locked down so it can be loaded up with a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or openSUSE, it was a must-buy for carrying out some interesting Cortex-A15 Linux benchmarks. The Exynos 5 Dual in this affordable laptop packs an impressive performance punch.
Meanwhile, Windows RT (Windows for ARM) is utter shit. This is a huge potential for Ubuntu going forward to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
An Test against an small i3 or A4 would be awesome. And maybe against an E-450
EDIT: That include an Graphic Benchmark
So how long till we see something with the Mali-T658 and a 2.5Ghz quad Cortex A-15 and a 2880x1600 screen?
I will pay the price of admission for such a beast in a heartbeat!
The Mali-T658 is supposed to have slightly better then a PS3 GPU and with a fast quad behind it would allow for much fun to be had, especially if we get OpenCL going since the GPU supports it.
The E-450 is going to be phased out for the E2-2000 http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat...20E2-2000.html
I don't know, in the same ballpark as Atom doesn't sound like "crazy fast" to me. Also, I have a hard time thinking about what I'd use this for.
Can this thing play 720p or 1080p smoothly over HDMI with Ubuntu/other distro of choice?
If so, I am probably going to get one of these things now that I know it can have a real OS installed and not hacked on. My single core atom netbook is showing its age and I've been avoiding the locked down Chromebooks.

Very interesting benchmarks so far - look forward to seeing more, and more varied ones too.
It would be interesting to see comparisons to a Bobcat core - an E-450 or similar, as well as a similar power consumption C-60.
This Exynos 5250 is a 32nm product, but they are planning a 28nm variant fairly soon as well. That could be quad-core, and/or faster at 2GHz, and/or even better octo-core Mali T658 graphics - let's call it the Exynos 5450. That will be one sweet SoC.
If we now get a free as in freedom GPU driver for it... wow! That would be awesome.
That thing plus enough battery runtime, a good keyboard (75% vendors fail at this), enough USB and maybe one or the other legacy port and 100% free drivers for it. Would be a dream. And considering the price it looks like a good offer.

The comforter is warm and soft and everything was as pictured.
Okay, so we bought it thinking we wouldn't have to drop 250 for a good bedding set. You get what you pay for rings true here. It is okay and we are fine with sleeping in it but when you have had 5-600 thread count and you drop down to 250 you notice the difference very quickly. It feels more like a bed you would get while you were in college setting up your dorm room. But it is nice to look at and it is machine washable which is a plus since we have three crazy children. If you want something that is contempary and can stand up against little crazy children without breaking the bank this is it. If not do yourself a favor and drop the extra for the higher thread count.
This bedding set is great. The colors look fantastic. The quality is really good which you don't normally find with many "bed-in-a-bag" sets. The comforter is very warm.
I just loved this set.. very colorful n contemporary ..
I love the colors, very bright and just what I wanted. I have this in my guest room and when you walk in the room the the colors pop.. I have washed it and no problem.
Very pleased with the 9 piece set.
Looks like the picture and is of good quality. No complaints
I bought this set in a king size. I love the flower design, that was why I bought it but to my surprise the quality of the fabric is so bad. It wrinkles and dull looking after being used. The pillow cases run small. I bought standard king size pillows for them and I had to push the pillow in the case or else it doesn't fit. I assume the pillow being so tight in the case it caused the pillow case to rip. Also, the sheets collect lint easily. Over all I think it's a waste of money. Frankly, the set I bought for my son at *****has way better quality than this. Very disappointed.
This whole set looks great in our guest bedroom. Love the colors!
I just LOVE this set!! The sheets are SUPER SOFT and plenty large enough for my super thick queen size mattress. The colors of the Comforter are prefect, I get a happy feeling every time I walk into my bedroom. We have had a few cool evenings this spring and the warmth of the comforter has been ideal. You will not be disappointed with this set!

The industry's most-trusted early-issue designation for all modern coins.
NGC offers the Early Releases designation for selected coins received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository during the first 30 days* of release. The term EARLY RELEASES will be noted as part of the description on the special blue Early Releases label. Other special and series-specific labels available from NGC may also be used in combination with the Early Releases designation.
To qualify for Early Releases, all coins must generally be received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within 30 days* of their release. Coins being sent directly to NGC do not need to be accompanied by original packaging or shipped in sealed Mint boxes, but must arrive within the time period described above. The Early Releases request must be noted on the submission invoice, and additional service fees apply for the special label and designation verification. This is the default label for coins received within their first 30 days* of issue.
Alternatively, NGC offers the First Releases designation, which has the same definition as Early Releases.
NGC maintains a complete list of cutoff dates for eligible coins. US and world coins (view eligible world coins) can be submitted for the Early Releases designation using the Special Label/Designation service option and bulk submission services, or as described on NGCcoin.com/Modern.
Early Releases will be identified in the NGC Census. They will also be eligible for inclusion in the very popular NGC Registry. As with any of its certification and grading, NGC offers no opinion on value, leaving that to the marketplace.
In certain markets NGC will offer bilingual Early Releases labels. The same Early Releases definition, cutoff dates and NGC Registry treatment will apply.
*In rare instances, production or shipping delays at the US Mint or other mints may require that NGC extend the Early Releases period. The cutoff date will be reflected on the NGC website.
US Cutoff Dates | World Cutoff Dates
Q. How many Early Releases coins has NGC graded?
A. Early Releases and First Releases will be listed separately in the NGC Census Report, and appear beneath the non-designated issues.
Q. Do Early Releases receive a point premium in the NGC Registry?
A. No. They are weighted the same as non-Early Releases coins in the NGC Registry.
Q. What coins are eligible for the Early Releases designation?
A. Only certain coins and/or sets will be designated Early Releases by NGC. In some cases, NGC will only designate coins as Early Releases during the first 30 days after the release of the entire set by the Mint or other issuing authority, regardless of whether individual coins from that set have been previously released. View a list of eligible coins and cutoff dates.

Carp, Wilson have potent bats to tame in Game 1
Cards, Rangers bring powerful lineups into World Series
That is far from the postseason norm and for the Rangers, it is also a long way from their experience in the 2010 World Series, when their imposing offense was stopped by superior pitching from the San Francisco Giants.
This time around in the LCS, both the Cards and the Rangers made life miserable for postseason starters. Two deep and powerful lineups could not be contained, and both teams advanced to the World Series via lopsided clinching victories.
Now, the task of setting a new tone for the 2011 World Series and restoring order on the mound will fall to the starting pitchers in Game 1 on Wednesday.
Chris Carpenter for St. Louis and C.J. Wilson for Texas are the aces of their respective rotations. Carpenter has the better postseason pedigree -- 7-2 with a 3.11 ERA, as opposed to Wilson's 1-4 with a 5.40 ERA. But Wilson, in his second full season as a starter, had a fine regular season -- 16-7, 2.94.
The task for Carpenter and Wilson is truly substantial. The Rangers were third in the Major Leagues in runs scored. The Cardinals were fifth. Both clubs have power and depth in their lineups.
"It sure seems like there are quite a few similarities with the danger in the lineups," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday.
"Their starting pitching is like ours. If this becomes a starting pitching series, don't be surprised. The talent is there. But there's really good offenses. What's happening is, I've said it before, a guy is not sharp, the offenses are creating damage, so you go to a reliever, for both of us."
Rangers manager Ron Washington suggested that the Series could go in either direction -- pitching or offense.
"If everything falls into place and their starters do what they want them to do, and our starters do what we want them to do, I think we can match up in the bullpen with anyone, just as the Cardinals can match up in the bullpen with anyone, and then we'll see where it goes from there," Washington said Tuesday.
"But if there's a lot of mistakes made, you think you'll see the ball flying out of the ballpark, I think you'll see hits all over the place, I think you'll start seeing some exciting baseball. But we depend on our starting pitching, and our bullpen is solid."
Carpenter was a major factor in the Cardinals getting through the postseason to this point. His 1-0, complete-game victory in Game 5 over the Phillies in the National League Division Series was a postseason gem. Various recent reports had Carpenter suffering from an elbow problem, but both the pitcher and the manager dismissed those. "If he wasn't sound, he wouldn't pitch," La Russa said.
One of the typical subplots in a World Series is often the contest between managers, the maneuvers that can mean the difference between victory and defeat. La Russa is a living legend in this regard. Washington, like the 28 other managers in the Majors, doesn't have La Russa's resume. But Washington has an incisive baseball mind and the full respect of his players as a managerial decision-maker.
Washington showed his mental agility Tuesday when asked what it would be liking "matching wits" with La Russa.
"Well, I don't think I can ever live up to matching a wit with Tony La Russa," Washington said. "But what I will try to do is put my players in the right position. And if my players perform, I don't have to worry about matching wits; they'll take care of things."
Two potent offenses have helped to deliver these teams to this October moment. But success in the Fall Classic so often is dependent upon quality pitching. Which trend will hold up, the historical or the recent? Does one of these clubs have pitching good enough to stifle the other team's offense and take over this World Series?
Carpenter and Wilson will try to answer those questions in a Game 1 contest that normally would be seen as an excellent October pitching matchup. This October, starting pitching has been a relatively temporary role. These two, in theory at least, are good enough to return pitching to its usual lofty October status.

Mubadda won a number of long and short distance swimming championships at the national and university levels.
Regional President Ayman Abdel Wahab & Amal Mubadda during the Meeting
The recruitment of Mubadda seems to have already marked the first step for the Central Specialized Federation for Intellectual Disabilities "CSFID" to officially launch its activities in serving the needs of people with intellectual disabilities, after obtaining the accreditation of SOI.SOMENA regional office has recently convened an extensive meeting, presided by Regional President& Managing Director Ayman Abdel Wahab, to introduce the SO Egypt's newly appointed National Director to the regional staff body. Following the meeting in SOMENA headquarters, a second meeting was held at the SO Egypt's premises between National Director Amal Mubadda, coaches and other key constituents of the program.Regional President Abdel Wahab has described the appointment of a former sports champion to assume the National Director's responsibilities as a considerable move on the course of achieving an outstanding leap in the SO Egypt's performance.Abdel Wahab further highlighted the new board of the programs as elected by civic bodies that have always worked closely with individuals with intellectual disabilities and accordingly must have gained quite an outstanding experience in the field.Commending the persevered spirit of achievement he has personally touched in Mubadda, Abdel wahab expressed his strong belief she would accelerate the program's momentum. On another note, the SOMENA top official has stated that while the scores of individuals with intellectual disabilities in Egypt have recently reached 3 million, the SO Egypt still involves no more than 25 thousand athletes in accordance with 2010 athletes' census in this concern. Over this fact, he expressed hope that by late 2015 the scores of athletes enlisted in the program would reach 50 thousand.Abdel Wahab concluded his statement asserting the Regional Presidency's intention to invest its utmost potentials in providing the SO Egypt with full support in a manner that would help it attain to a pioneering status, thus setting an exceptional worth-following example among the world's 183 SO programs.
