when you say UPS do you mean a generator or an actual computer UPS? Most computer UPS won't last an hour will they unless they're wildly oversized? I always thought they were for enough time to power down safely whether via serial connection or what have you.

Running my fridge, sump, blower for the furnace, and a few lamps it'll run almost a week unless the sump is going nonstop. It's way bigger than I would have bought new but since all it took was a little bit of physical labor to haul out of the datacenter and then out of the car and downstair it's great.

You can have enough food to last several weeks/months/years without going out of your way to do it and you do not need to shop anywhere but your local grocery store. Canned goods! Spam, vegtables, chili, tuna, soup, vienna sausages, etc. They all have sheve lives of 3+ years and they are still good after that if the can has not expanded. Buy enough that you feel comfortable storing somewhere. Use them as you normally would and replace the "stock" as you use it. Everything in a can is already cooked, it can be eaten right from the can, and most veggies and fruits are packed in water that you can drink. It would be cool to have some of the dried bulk grains and dried fruits packed in 5 gallon buckets but you don't need those if you have enough cans of stuff.
I see so many people thinking they need a portable generator. Those are for people in the suburbs to feel comfortable and ride out a 3-12 hour power outage. Save your money by not buying a generator and buy some extra canned goods, an extra propane tank that is always filled for your gas grill, some paper plates and utencils, a keroscene heater with 5-10 gallons of keroscene, a few 5 gallon water jugs, batteries, cheap handi wipes, flashlights and some old mp3 players with an fm radio and a set of $5 portable speakers. For about $200 (1/2 of that the keroscene heater) + the cost of what food you want to stock pile, a family of four can easily make it a week or so winter or summer with no power/gas/heat/transportation.

You don't need to lose too many deep-freezers full of food or spend a week at a hotel to make a generator start to look attractive. And as to comfort, think of it this way: comfort is your safety margin between living and dying.
You're right on stocking up a bit. I really should store a meaningful amount of water other than just what's in the water heater tank. I've never had a fresh water outage in my life, but there's always a first time.
Or just by a Tesla S 85kWh pack - good for about a week of running essentials. I've started to think that an EV pack would be a good way to get through the "normal" power outages that you get in rural areas.

Not sure about the generator statement. if you live in my neck of the woods - I have well water and septic system that I would prefer no to fill up
So my generator is sized accordingly 10 KW, runs on propane(Propane doesn't turn into varnish/go bad, worse case I steal a jug from my grill) I can get about a week on a fill running my whole house(granted it's only 1200 square feet)
I have a decent fiber connection to the house and the CO is only about 2000 feet away. -
As far as cost - I purchased a used Generator for $75.00 with a blown motor and replaced it with a newer energy efficient one for about $400.00. All said and done
Transfer switch , 100 feet of 1 inch conduit two weekends burying pipe and pulling wire. All said and done I'm I''m into it for just shy of $800.00. our last power 2 outages lasted more than 36 hours but I lived through them in comfort.

Recharging your laptop & running an air conditioner is a bit difficult without a generator.
In South Florida, the line between "air conditioner" and "life support system" is kind of blurry compared to drier & cooler parts of the country. Remember, Florida south of what's now I-4 was largely *uninhabited* (in the summer, at least) before air conditioning became widespread. Without A/C, Miami is *uninhabitable* in the summer.

My biggest concern here I think would be a big winter storm. I figure I only need to last a week at most entirely without support or power, and I think I'll be just fine. I'd run out of water first, but I figure I can always boil some snow and I live near water anyway. I am prepared to survive very cold weather when the power goes out, and I've got plenty of food stores (camping supplies plus a wide range of ingredients on hand that adds up). I believe I could be rather comfortable without power in the winter for a week, easy. After that, things would get more difficult, but I'm sure I could survive for several more weeks before I was in serious life-threatening danger. I think internet withdrawal would be the primary stress in my life during that time, but I would have light and plenty of books for weeks and weeks. As long as the power came on again after about two weeks, and the roads cleared up within a month, I am confident a big winter storm would be only an inconvenience to me. In terms of pure survival though, I'd live long enough for spring to come around and the snow melting. After that, I can always drive someplace.
I'm not worried about a major economic collapse or anarchy or alien invasion or anything else like that. If that day ever comes, I figure that my intelligence, street smarts, temperament, and survival skills will matter a lot more than anything I could possibly stockpile. Anyone who thinks they are truly prepared for the collapse of human civilization is kidding themselves, unless they already live without any contact with human civilization (and hint: that means none of you). Best you can hope for is a bit of luck, and the ability to work with other people to rebuild civilization. At our core, humans tend toward forming communities. Disagreements within and between those communities is natural too, but even when everything goes to shit people are not going to start murdering each other when they have the option to pool their resources and accomplish things they can't do alone. Feel free to call me naive, but there's a reason why humans formed civilizations to begin with instead of having endless war between family groups. For long-term survival, energy is better spent on activities allowed by peace than on constant fighting. Charisma is likely far more important to survival than a machine gun and limitless ammo. Humans were never the fastest, had the biggest teeth or claws, or the strongest animals around. Our greatest survival trait was our ability to work together in the face of whatever dangers lurked around us.
By all means stockpile a bunch of ammo and buy some guns. They're good tools just like anything else. Unless you're prepared to murder your neighbors in cold blood at the outset of a disaster, though, you're a lot more likely to use them for hunting with other people than for defending a stockpile nobody's really going to come for. After a few years when the ammo runs out, you're probably going to wish you'd learned how to make traps and make good arrows for a bow, though. Tools are good, skills are better. Nobody can steal skills, and skills are always needed by your fellow humans in the community. Trade your services, live off the land, and work together with your neighbors. Isn't that much better than paranoia and an finite quantity of modern weaponry?
So yeah, I'm really only worried about natural disasters, and the most likely are the ones I'm sure I can survive easily in relative comfort. I've got heat, water, and food enough to last plenty of time.

Actual water consumption necessary during a crisis would be 1 gallon/day maximum, unless you live in the middle of the Arizona desert. MREs do not require water to be eaten.

After one cold night (17 F outside; about 45 F indoors) I hustled myself to a hotel. I might have stayed longer, but more ice was coming and I was worried about being stuck in a cold home.
I had plenty of food, including canned food that I could live on for weeks. I missed the internet (my UPS box provided 30 minutes of power; I conserved that), but I could live without connectivity. I had lots of batteries for flashlights and the weather radio. The limiting factor was the cold. If I had a generator to run my furnace, or a wood-burning stove, then I could have lasted until my fuel ran out. Without heat I lasted just over one day.
It's not worth it to me to be a survivalist; I live alone, with nobody who relies on me, and I like to pretend that civilization will endure. But I'm seriously thinking about getting a backup heat generator of some sort, just in case.
We had an ice storm when I was a kid; we were later told that we could have powered the thermostat or furnace solenoid off a car battery, and since the gas furnace was in the basement and the registers were in the floors, the heat theoretically would have risen up into the living space via convection.
We also had a gas stove/oven and iirc a gas/wood fireplace.
And the water heater ran on gas.
Candles can put out enough heat to take the bitter edge off the cold, especially if you can get them inside a metal container to buffer the heat.
My mom had a purely decorative iron pot-belly stove that we stuffed full of candles during a severe snowstorm when the power went out. It did surprisingly well.
If you want to get dangerous, you can attempt to rig up a candle-heated pot of cooking oil or something, too.
You don't need to be a survivalist to own cold weather clothing. Military surplus is fine.
If you live where it's cold enough outside to be dangerous, you should have suitable gear in your vehicle that you can WALK away from a breakdown without problem. Add a sleeping bag for home use, and the only cold hazard is frozen pipes.
A heater is only useful when it's running and only in proximity to that heater.
Never forget boots. Combat boots are fine, and if you fail to wear them enough to break them in make sure
Most preppers would never post on a public website how long their supplies could last. So in that case, I have an empty fridge and no chance of survival past 3 days.

I plan on cannibalizing the well-prepared. As well as being a plan of least resistance, you tasty folks out there with foresight probably eat well, so I imagine I'll be treated with a delectable, low-fat, low-sodium, granola-fed lean meat.
I'm printing up a mini-gun as soon as I get my generator going.
While I have food and water to last nearly a week, I have no UPS, and my laptop's batteries will last maybe three hours. Normally I could use my car to recharge my laptop, but my new one would actually trip the fuse on my car.
However, if it's really a long outage, I am sure I'll have more important things to worry about than checking
I have sleep apnea. I stop breathing while I am asleep. To prevent a strain on my heart (pumping harder to move limited oxygen through my body) and brain damage, I need a medical device that forces me to breath while sleeping. The device runs on electricity. Living next to a major urban area (Los Angeles), I go to a hotel or emergency shelter if my home will be without electricity through an entire night since outages rarely extend farther than a single neighborhood.
The most frequent cause of a power outage in my area is the failure by Southern California Edison to perform preventive maintenance on its equipment, especially failed transformers and underground cables. Elsewhere in southern California, outages might involve utility poles holding too many other utilities -- phone lines, TV cables, fiber optic lines, cell phone antennas, etc. Edison will be paying $37,000,000 in penalties to the state of California because of a major brush fire caused when three over-loaded utility poles fell in a wind storm. Penalties against the utilities that also used those poles will bring the total to over $60,000,000.

I wouldn't resort to it right away but I'm happy knowing I can, and have, live off the land. First I'd start with my vegan and vegetarian neighbors though. They are more likely to not be armed and are grass/grain fed.
I do multi-day whitewater rafting trips that last a week or so every year. As such I have a complete camp kitchen with propane stoves, charcoal grill and dutch ovens. After each trip I always top off the propane tanks and water jugs. I also have a ceramic water filter and a river toilet so I've got that covered. I have enough food in the cupboards to last several weeks. I also have a couple of small solar PV chargers that I can use to charge AA & AAA batteries and USB devices. More than a month th

A relatively localized natural disaster like this poll was talking about would not lead to that sort of breakdown of society.
But if things really broke down to that extent I think my relatives and their neighbors would probably be banding together to protect their little slice of heaven there in the foothills. I'd be a lot more concerned about some idiot shooting me on the way there than I would be about them shooting me when I get there.
It'd be an earthquake.
At least, no storm that could cause an outage. I am not sure there are european cities that have this risk.
Please... you don't need a UPS (which is for computers) in a major storm outage. If you had a whole home-oriented power backup, that might be something worth mentioning because you could use that energy (much more than a UPS has) for useful things like lighting and cooking raw foods or sanitizing water.
The only way I see a UPS really making sense is if it was used strictly to power and recharge a cellphone in the event that some form of emergency local towers were still in place.

Really didn't want to spring 10K+ for a whole-house generator so I went with a 'portable' 6KW Yamaha and a manual transfer switch.
I'm working on a natural gas hookup for the Yamaha so if I need to go long term I won't have to be out scavenging gas.
This will pretty much keep my house going except for the AC.
Hopefully I'll never need to use it. I went 20 years in this location without a problem until Irene and then Sandy.
I keep 20-25 gallons of water, a mix of food that will keep for a few days as well as some stuff that will last longer, fuel enough for a few days to allow running the cars - good way to charge batteries, a few UPS's, plenty of radio equipment (amateur 10-160m coverage plus scanners and shortwave), enough weapons and ammo to hold out for a while. No generator here and not a lot of canned or dehydrated food though.
Let see, an ocean capable and proven boat, a full load of fuel, generator, watermaker, long range HF radio equipment... We could easily last for an extended period with only food being the limiting factor. Unless a tsunami takes out the harbor, we can easily just untie the boat and leave for an area not affected by whatever the problem is.
I plan to join the roving bands of rapists and looters and will go full on canibal as soon as the first McDonalds closes.

Ghostcrawler had an interesting post on critical hits today.
Back in Vanilla, the rule was that melee criticals did 200% damage, spell criticals did 150% damage, and damage/heal-over-time spells could not crit. But over time most of the DPS casters got talents or abilities that pushed their criticals to 200% damage. Pretty much the only people left at the 150% mark are healers and physical dps who get some damage from spells.
So GC is mulling over simplifying the entire thing with a rule that all crits do 200%.
Personally I think it's a good idea. It simplifies things immensely. Pretty much every DPS already has 200% crits on the majority of their damage.
As for healing, because damage crits do 200%, crit rating is expensive. So when you look at crit rating for healing it seems even more overpriced compared to the throughput it gives you. And then you add to that the fact that healers disdain crit because you can't count on it in the short term. At least bumping healing crits up to 200% would normalize the value of crit rating.
The one area of concern is PvP. A healing crit can be very swingy. Ghostcrawler suggests that the potency of the Mortal Strike debuff be increased to compensate. But then that can make having an MS class absolutely mandatory when fighting a healer.
I have a different solution. The "swingy-ness" of damage in PvP is mitigated by resilience. Perhaps we should use the same mechanic. Have resilience reduce incoming damage and also reduce incoming healing. So if you have a lot of resilience you're taking less damage, but you're also getting less healing. That will shift power away from the healers and make a random critical heal, even at 200%, much less of a game-winner.
Resilience would essentially slow the rate of change of your health bar in both directions. A lot of resilience would mean your health decreases slower, but it also increases slower while being healed.

Critical Hits and a PvP Idea

A mortal strike can be countered tactically, making the battle more dynamic.
A static decrease in my ability to heal doesn't leave any options.

I'm pretty sure that the reason they don't want Resilience to decrease incoming healing is because they don't really want a stat that has a negative effect on your player.

That's would be unintuitive for a non-theorycrafter.

It would be stupid. If it would decrease damage and healing, it would have the very same effect as HP increase. Since it would be cheaper, no one would use resilience, except full DD teams.

- Inquisitor said...
That would be called 'stamina', no?
People gear resiliance because it makes both heals and absorb mechanics *more* effective, not because it gives a longer TTL without healing.
Remove the reason to do that, and you're back to early-Wrath how-fast-will-it-die, and people dying in a GCD in 'exhibition' matches again.

Blizzard has said multiple times they don't want resillience to have a downside, especially back in wrath when pvp healing was even more of an issue than it currently is.
I would really like to see healing become less important in pvp, but I don't think tying it to resillience would be a good way to go about it Who knows, maybe now that retribution is no longer "push button, damage happens" they'll attach a MS to crusader strike and we won't have to worry about it.

I love your idea with Resilience being a great brake on the swing of damage and healing. It would also keep a rated BG group with having a composition of half healers be an unstoppable juggernaut.

Would it have any effect on % health healing abilities?
Rather than making it having the exact reverse effect with healing as damage, why not make it half as much? This would still slow the up down, without making it effectively the same as stamina.

Could you explain why it's such a terrible idea?
From my--admittedly casual--perspective, Blizzard already did something similar the last time healing got too powerful:
Patch 3.3.2 is bringing about a change to the way healing functions in Arenas, Battlegrounds, and Wintergrasp. We have applied a debuff to all players in these zones which will decrease the effectiveness of all forms of healing by 10%. This includes heals from items such as Healthstones and potions, however, it will not affect defensive shields or auras. This change is being made to balance the effectiveness of healing against the recent buff we made to the damage reduction component provided by resilience (source can be found here).
- 9:51 AM, April 20, 2011
- Rohan said...
@Kleps, yeah, the two directions don't have to be the same.
But the idea is that health in PvP should be less swingy in both directions. You shouldn't be killed in a burst, but you also shouldn't wipe out all the work the attackers did in a burst of healing.
@Inquisitor, yes, people prefer resilience because it indirectly empowers healing. But then PvP eventually seems to devolve into "healing is too powerful" at some point. And Blizzard implements some other mechanism to rein healing back in, like the debuff in Wrath.
So maybe resilience's indirect effect on healing is actually a negative for overall PvP balance, and so should be removed at the source.

@Rohan Yes, heals were nerfed there, but there was a key difference - that change didn't devalue a stat. Yes, heals were lowered, but Resilience had the same effect as it always had - essentially, getting more would lower incoming damage, and have no downsides. It remained a desirable stat.
If a downside were to be added, however, resilience would come largely down to a matter of preference of playstyle. In the end, it would no longer provide a reasonable benefit. For this to work, the way that resilience is implemented would have to change - for any arena player, competitive or otherwise, it would not be desirable to have item budget spent on a statistic that does little to boost performance.
Additionally, some problems might be caused when swapping from one composition to another. With the current implementation of resilience, it is always desirable to have more of it; regardless of composition, it will be a good thing to take less damage. However, if resilience were also to lower healing, it would essentially move between being useless and overpowered each time a team's composition changed. For example, a team with no healers would stack resilience the same as they always had; if a healer were to be introduced into the team, though, there would be the odd side effect of nerfing gear depending on team composition. Similarly, a team swapping from a 'normal' healer (eg. a holy priest) to a more absorption-based healer (eg. a discipline priest) would experience these changes.
While I would agree that resilience is far from perfect in its current implemenation, this isn't the way to go about fixing it - at least, not without changing some other systems along with it.

Could you explain why it's such a terrible idea?
From my--admittedly casual--perspective, Blizzard already did something similar the last time healing got too powerful:
Although Blizzard has reduced healing effectiveness across the board before, that is 100% different than sitting at the PvP vendor looking at an "upgrade" (Bloodthirsty --> Vicious) and having to decide whether the extra damage/resil is worth the loss of healing received. It boggles my mind that anyone cannot actually understand how abysmal that sort of design is. It would simply drive players even further into using PvE gear in PvP, devaluing PvP gear.
The "healers are gods" problem is a conscious design decision Blizzard made in Wrath, and they doubled-down with in Cata. In essence: Blizzard thinks 1 healer should survive against 1 DPS until said healer runs OOM. Such a design is ridiculously dumb in any scenario in which a healer can also deal damage to the DPS (or out-heal the DPS without going OOM), unless the DPS has self-healing capability higher than the damage output of said healer. I routinely killed DPS as a Disc priest in Wrath, for example. Blizzard said this was because the alternative - 1 DPS can kill 1 healer without help - makes "balanced" brackets like 3v3 impossible. Which is not true, of course, since you can use your 2nd DPS to help defend the healer and/or send both DPS out in a gambit to kill the enemy healer before the 1 DPS kills yours. All the current system does is make 2-3 BG healers unkillable without most of a WSG team on them. Nevermind encouraging the 2 healers, 1 DPS nonsense that was so popular in Wrath.
Bottom line: having negative effects on otherwise unambiguous upgrades is bad MMO design. It works in things like Team Fortress 2, etc, but situations where the entry-level relic was BiS up through ICC (remember that?) is simply dumb. It's a designer "gotcha!" moment, just like a lot of the interesting-sounding but ultimately useless talents were in TBC and Wrath.

Stamina already does exactly what you're suggesting. It makes a player less vulnerable to bursty attacks, but it takes longer to heal them back to full.

- Merris of Outland EU said...
Blizzard has already been presented with this idea several times before and there were blue-posts during WotLK where they clearly said that they do not want Resilience to decrease healing taken.
As posted by an anonymous reader further up, they do not want Resilience to have any negative effect on the player in a PvP environment.

We increase the impact of your gift by using volunteers and donated supplies to provide $4 in desperately-needed dental care for every $1 you donate.
Right outside of our doors, here in the United States, families are battling the intense pain, complications, and socio-economic challenges that come with severe dental problems.
In many areas of Oregon alone, there is a shortage of dental providers, and the number of available licensed dentists in the Pacific NW continues to decline. While in theory all Oregon children are covered by Healthy Kids insurance, there are many reasons why they may be having trouble accessing it, such as difficulty finding providers nearby that will accept it.
A 2-3 hour drive to the closest dental provider requires parents to take off work. This means low-income kids and their parents (who are NOT usually covered by dental insurance) just don't go.
As untreated dental issues progress, many uninsured people with dental crises turn to emergency rooms for pain relief. Up to 30% of uninsured individuals who visit hospital emergency rooms are cases that could be treated more effectively in a dental office. Plus, ERs are not properly equipped to treat dental problems. ER treatment for dental disease is not only ineffective, but also costly for both patients and hospitals - approximately $765 per ER visit.
We have a fleet of twelve Mobile Dental clinics in Oregon and Washington, which visit many different partner locations. The Mobile Dental clinics are 38-foot converted motor homes. Each mobile clinic contains two dental operatories and all necessary equipment, instruments and supplies.
We work through over 300 community partners, such as churches, schools, and health care companies, to arrange urgent care dental services. Urgent care dental services include procedures such as fillings and extractions. Our community partners manage all scheduling and appointments.
We also provide preventative care. For example, MTI has provided thousands of children with an easy-to-read brochure and a kid-friendly kit of basic dental supplies as well as classroom instruction from MTI staff and volunteers.

- The Senate strikes down a proposed freeze on federal salaries. The provision was part of a war supplemental spending bill and would have frozen federal bonuses and salaries for one year. It was sponsored by Senators John McCain of Arizona and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. But your paycheck is not out of the woods, yet. In the House, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachman says she's planning legislation that would eliminate federal pay raises.
- President Obama reiterated his opposition to a 1.9 percent pay raise for service members. A formal statement of policy issued yesterday said the administration favors a 1.4 percent raise, reports GovExec. The 2011 Defense Authorization bill, now being debated in the House, contains the larger raise. In the policy statement, the president said 1.4 percent would leave more financial headroom for recruitment and sustainment.
- The White House is at loggerheads with Congress over the pay for performance system for intelligence employees known as DCIPS. Congress suspended the pay system last year, and the suspension continues under the 2011 Defense Authorization now being debated. The Obama administration wants to keep the system. An executive branch review of the intelligence pay for performance is due to Congress by August 1. FederalTimes reports a White House statement says extending the freeze "negates the purpose of conducting an independent review of DCIPS."
- An unreleased OPM survey has reportedly found that 10 percent of federal employees say they telework at least one day a week. NextGov reports that would work out to a total of 200,000 federal employees; much more than previously thought. Justin Johnson, deputy chief of staff at OPM, gave a sneak peek at some of the OPM telework survey results during a panel discussion on telework. Johnson also said OPM found that 48 percent of employees don't telework because either their job duties require them to be in an office or they just don't want to telework.
- Part of Health and Human Services has a new home. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, which advises the Secretary on bioterrorism and other health emergencies, will move into new office space in Southwest DC. The Washington Business Journal reports the General Services Administration signed a new 58,000 square foot lease at Patriots Plaza this week. It is a five year deal with a five year option. The HHS office will join the FBI, which completed a deal in March. USDA inked a deal in November.
- Faced with stiff congressional opposition, the White House is having second thoughts about nominating James R. Clapper to be the next national intelligence director. National Security advisor James Jones waved Clapper's name before members of Congress, and received bi-partisan opposition. The main objection is Clapper's military background, which lawmakers worry would bring a command and control mentality to a 16-agency intelligence apparatus they believe needs a conciliatory leader. The latest intelligence director, Adm. Dennis Blair, retired this week. Clapper, a retired Air Force lieutenant general, is now the under secretary of Defense for intelligence.
- The person heading up the troubled Minerals Management Service has resigned under pressure. Elizabeth Birnbaum's decision to leave MMS was announced Thursday by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. He was at a congressional hearing where Birnbaum had been scheduled to appear. Salazar says Birnbaum left on her own terms. MMS regulates offshore drilling and has come under criticism for being too cozy with oil companies. Salazar has announced plans to restructure the agency, following the Gulf oil spill.

Solid Pitching and Two-Out Plate Production Sends #4 Baseball to Tournament Opening 6-4 Win over #3 Belmont Abbey
April 14, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. For the second consecutive season, fourth-ranked Pfeiffer University scored a 6-4 win over third-seeded Belmont Abbey College in the opening contest of the 2011 Conference Carolinas baseball tournament. Eric Shuford delivered seven strong innings of work as the Falcons improve to 21-26 overall awaiting the winner of Erskine/Limestone for a 7:00 p.m. matchup on Friday night. The Crusaders fall to 29-16 and will face either Barton or Mount Olive in the first elimination game on Friday morning.
Belmont Abbey got on the board first in the third as a Joey Frabasile two-out single to left scored Justin Vazquez with the games first run. Pfeiffer would grab the lead with two in the fourth and three in the fifth while holding off a late Crusaders comeback for the two-run win.
In the fourth, Jacob Yates would begin the frame with a leadoff double down the left field line. Mike Green would follow reaching on a sacrifice bunt attempt, with a Crusaders error mixed in, allowing for Jesse Dunn to drive in both Falcons with a two-bagger down the left field line.
The fifth began with a two-out single to left by Hunter Boehme. After stealing second, Boehme would come around on a Yates base hit to right-center. Moments later, Yates would swipe second and later plate on a Green single to left for a 2-1 visitors lead. The two-out rally concluded with a Tyler Smith run-scoring single to left that brought home Green.
Pfeiffer made it a 6-1 lead in the eighth as Aarin Sharpe singled home Jon Gray. Gray reached on a two-out hit by pitch as four of the six Falcon runs on the day were scored with two outs on the scoreboard.
Belmont Abbey began their rally attempt in the bottom of the eighth as Frabasile belted a two-run homer to left after Tim Dye began the frame with a single up the middle. Immediately following Frabasile, Chris Vazquez would blast off with his own solo home run as the back-to-back jacks made it a 6-4 game. Pfeiffer closer Luke Wilhelm would then settled down into a groove to earn the save over his final two innings of work.
Shuford scattered just six hits in his seven innings of work allowing three runs with nine strikeouts. Wilhelm registered the save with a run on three hits with two strikeouts. At the plate, Yates led the way from the leadoff positions going 3-for-5 with a RBI and two runs scored.

text: Leakage and mold on boot Pauline N. • Charlotte, NC • July 19, 2014 My Repair & Advice My husband followed the YouTube video and made the repair. I helped him hold the wire while he connected the spring as it was difficult to stretch the spring while holding the wire in place. We called an appliance store to make the repair, but they refused to work on the Maytag Neptune. We have had a good experience with our Maytag Neptune washer and dryer, so after watching the video, we decided to make the repair ourselves. I am thrilled that the part arrived so quickly and the repair was relatively easy! Thank you for the quick service and especially for the repair video. I think I saved at least $1200 as I was thinking about purchasing a whole new set and now that is not necessary. We are happy customers!! Was this review helpful to you?

Malaria is a disease passed through the blood. It is typically passed to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito but can also be passed from mother to unborn child or during a blood transfusion from an infected donor.
Malaria is caused by a specific type of parasite.
Most often, a
mosquito picks up the parasite when it bites someone with malaria. The mosquito can pass the parasite to a new person when it bites them. The parasite then travels to and multiplies in the liver.
After several days, the new parasites leave the liver and pass into the bloodstream. The parasites infect the red blood cells and within 48 hours, the infected red blood cells burst. The parasites then go on to infect more red blood cells.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Living in or traveling to hot, humid climates where
mosquitoes are common is the most common risk factor for malaria.
Africa, Asia, and Latin America all have areas where malaria is common. Fatal cases have occurred in tourists visiting game parks and other rural areas in east Africa.
Your chance of getting malaria increases dramatically if basic prevention step listed below are not followed.
There are no symptoms in the early stage of infection.
Symptoms usually begin within 10 days to four weeks after being bitten by an infected mosquito.
Symptoms may include:
Seek medical care right if you suspect malaria or if you have traveled to an area of the world where malaria occurs. Without treatment, the cycle of red blood cell destruction and fever will continue. This can lead to death.
Some types of malaria
may not produce symptoms for a year or more.
The severity of symptoms and death rate are often associated with the specific type of malaria.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and travel history. A physical exam will be done. Malaria will be diagnosed with blood tests. The blood test will also help identify the specific type of parasite causing your infection.
Prescription drugs are used to treat malaria by killing the parasites. The choice of an antimalarial agent depends on:
Medications will also be given to reduce fever, which may shorten the infection time.
To reduce your chance of getting malaria when in a high-risk area:

text: This is my second CellarPro unit. My first was an 1800XTS for a different cabinet and the review of that was done on 7/30/14. There were a few minor problems fitting into my cabinet which I detailed in that review. The same things occurred this time but there was no surprise this time since the cabinet configuration is the same. Oh, and the Breezaire it replaced was just over 3 years old. Now for the disappointing part. My Breezaire 1060 was substantially quieter than this unit (unlike the 1800XTS which was substantially quieter than the Breezaire 2200 it replaced). The specs claim a noise level of 40.5 db. I have a dishwasher that claims 41 db and I can't hear it in the next room and barely even hear it in the kitchen. This unit can be heard clearly in the next room. However, other than the noise level, I'm not disappointed.

Something odd happened the other day, or more accurately, the other night. My wife Ann's bicycle was stolen right off our front porch. That morning like Abraham, Martin and John, we looked around and it was gone.
I guess the slug that took it needed a bike and felt he or she was "entitled" to ours. Needless to say, we were "irritated-off" but stuff happens. Often bumps like this cause a domino effect that pulls you in a new direction.
That's what happened. We wished we'd seen it happen. I figured I could have prevented the theft and Ann figured she could've gotten off at least three shots. Did I mention she was really mad?
Anyway, we decided to take advantage of technologies that the NSA deploys. We decided to "spy" on our yard.
To that end I emailed ADT asking what they had available. We've used their interior alarm system forever and their recent TV advertising has been touting their security surveillance services. I figured it wouldn't hurt to inquire.
Wow, I knew I was behind the tech wave but didn't know how far. They sent a representative out to give us a rundown on services available and costs.
I was impressed. This isn't an infomercial for ADT as a bunch of companies offer similar services. What really got my attention was how neatly these things worked and what they provided.
Holy Mutual of Omaha, we now have our own personal "Wild Kingdom!" Anytime there's movement in the yard, patio or porch, a camera records what moved, like wayward possums or stalking cats.
The individual items go to a website where they remain for 30 days. You can check out what triggered each at your leisure. It's a hoot.
I love this part of this new cyber world, but in all honesty, I am glad they didn't have such when I was a kid. Sneaking into the house after coming home late from a date was an art form. I learned to move like an Indian, but a gizmo like this would've kept me restricted to the reservation for sure.
But in a few cases, it could've saved my scalp. I remember getting up real early to go hunting. I was about dressed when Dad came into my room and wanted to know what in the world I was doing getting home at 5 a.m.
It took me awhile to convince him I'd been to bed and was simply going hunting. Once I submitted the evidence of my gun, vest and shells laying at the ready, he grudgingly admitted my innocence. He left me with the admonishment "Be quieter."
So now Ann and I have our personal reality shows. "The Adventures of the UPS Delivery Man" comes on about every day. "Stray Dogs of Midway Park" has a recurring schedule.
Our puppies now star every day in their production of "Guarding the Patio." I'm sure "The Great Squirrel Chase" will appear now and then.
"CSI Front Porch Rat Thief" has hopefully been canceled.
Otis Gardner's column appears here weekly. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Big Brother Gossip Show #314: Amanda Zuckerman Interview
We promised a very special post-season episode, and we really did deliver. For her first interview, Amanda Zuckerman appeared on our show and answered EVERYTHING! I mean everything, including answering the various rumors surrounding her in-house and out of house life.
You can grab this very special episode from the usual sources, including itunes and Stitcher.
I'd like to thank Amanda for her appearance, along with Mike and Colette for their interviewing skills! What fun this was!
What a couple days it has been! This has become our highest downloaded show - topping our "Twitter Triumph" episode from earlier this year. As of this writing this episode is #4 on the iTunes "TV & Film" Episode chart among some pretty big names. Thanks for putting us there! You can get directly to the podcast on iTunes by following this link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/big-brother-gossip-show-mp3/id502746488 We'd also appreciate andy feedback on the iTunes page or below. Don't mind the hate, we know Amanda is a very polarizing character so we expect a lot of good and bad. The feedback we have received on Twitter has been very favorable. Again, thanks and we will talk to you again sometime soon - or when Big Brother 16 rolls around!

I have had great trust in Time with their MTB pedals. I have used Time on my MTB, and my son has used them on his BMX and MTBs. I thought I would try Time road... very disappointed in them. I bought 2 sets, and 1 out of each set had issues. The plate on the pedal that is just glued on fell off one of my pedals. I sent it back to price point, who sent it to Time, about 5 weeks later I got a new pedal. Luckily I had a back up. My son had same issue with his, but didn't want hassle of mailing in during race season. Bought Shimanos instead. I have shimano's on all our road bikes, and Time on MTB's. Would not buy Time road again. They would not express ship replacement set in middle of race season.. do not reccoment this modeal at all.
My 11 yr old has been using time mtb pedals since he was 6 (atac roc) for bmx racing and I use them for mtb. My son just started road racing and we got these for our bikes. Extremely easy to clip into , seems to line up perfect for clipping in with clip surface on top automatically. I have about 500 miles on these and pedal platform on one of the pedals fell off. Very disappointed that time with such a good reputation would just glue the platform on. Just sent them back for exchange, hoping it was just a fluke as I really like time products, we have 5 sets of pedals from time. Just switched my son to the expresso 6 by time...loves them.

About Stone Sour
Stone Sour Tickets - Not Sour, but SweetWhen you're talking about the legendary hardcore metal band Slipknot and the inner roots with namely two band members, you'll know that it's definitely sweet. Vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root were those two band members, starting the band known as Stone Sour back in the late '90s. It wasn't until the early 2000s that the band reformed after a few years with Slipknot, recruiting guitarist Josh Rand, bass guitarist Sean Economaki, and drummer Joel Ekman for Stone Sour's very first full debut album.
Stone Sour Tickets - Definitely Don't 'Bother' With the CriticismLike the legendary lyrics say in their hit single 'Bother,' there's no reason for criticism here: because the band Stone Sour earns their credit with the two Grammy nominations, songs that edge right into anyone's dark soul like you wouldn't believe and a continuing passion to create more music, such as the later album in 2010 entitled Audio Secrecy.
Stone Sour Tickets - The Sound Behind the MusicAs defined by their sound, you could easily compare Stone Sour to a combination of Metallica and Alice in Chains. But that's being too cut and dry. To put such a remarkable hard rock band in a box like that would be too insulting. When you hear Stone Sour -- you'll taste much more in their music, and it's definitely not a sour taste in your mouth. Rather, you've got the best papillary senses for your alternative metal madness.
