On 6 February 1810, the Austrian ambassador to France, Prince Karl Philipp zu Schwarzenberg, left the intrigues of Paris to enjoy his favorite pastime, hunting. The freedom of the outdoors allowed him to escape the occupation he detested and the modus vivendi it required.1 His position had become uncomfortable as he awaited news of a response from St. Petersburg to Emperor Napoleon's requests for an imperial marriage. Schwarzenberg believed that Tsar Alexander I would accept the overtures, Napoleon would marry the tsar's sister, the Russian Grand-Duchess Anna Pavlovna, and the Austrian ambassador would be forced to witness a strengthening of the alliance between the Habsburgs' two greatest enemies. France and Russia, united by the marriage, would decide the fate of continental Europe. Contacts in the French government informed the prince that if the tsar declined Napoleon's advances, the French emperor would turn next to him to negotiate for the hand of the Austrian Archduchess Marie-Louise. Schwarzenberg had permission from his sovereign to acknowledge inquiries if the French approached him, but he resigned himself to an inevitable positive response from St. Petersburg. To his surprise, a courier's dispatch from the French foreign ministry interrupted his hunt with a request that the ambassador return to his residence to receive an important communication. Unknown to Schwarzenberg, Napoleon had grown impatient after learning of the tsar's dilatory messages. Fearing that further negotiations and arrangements for the marriage could take months to complete, Napoleon moved suddenly and forcefully. He ordered his representative in St. Petersburg to terminate further proposals to the Romanovs while he attempted to secure the hand of the Habsburg archduchess. In petitioning the Austrian imperial family, however, he observed none of the traditional etiquette and issued instead an ultimatum. Napoleon instructed Eugene de Beauharnais, his stepson and the Viceroy of Italy, to recall Schwarzenberg to Paris and determine if the Austrian ambassador would sign a marriage contract. He instructed Eugene to inform the prince that his hesitation would forfeit the Habsburgs' opportunity for such an alliance. Accordingly, Eugene went to Schwarzenberg's residence and later reported the prince's "extraordinary confusion" when he heard the emperor's demanding offer. "Never had an ambassador been placed in such a favorite cruel position," the viceroy recalled. "He struggled, sweated profusely, and made useless arguments," but he finally consented to the stipulations.2 The next day, 7 February, Schwarzenberg arrived at the French ministry and, although he declared that he did not have the authority for such an "ad hoc" contract, he signed the document which was forwarded immediately to Vienna. Schwarzenberg wrote a hasty letter to his foreign minister explaining what had transpired and noting his protests. He explained, "if the affair was brusque, it is that Napoleon does no other, and it appeared that we must seize this favorable moment…. if I have insulted my sovereign by what I have done without in the delaying, His Majesty can disavow me. In this case, I would request my instant recall."3 Far from being reprimanded, the Austrian ambassador received praise from both the French and Austrian courts for his initiative and resolution in a dire predicament. The matrimonial union of the Habsburg and Bonaparte imperial houses took place by proxy in Vienna on 11 March and in Paris on 1 and 2 April. While the marriage ceremonies, the honeymoon, and the eventual birth of the King of Rome illustrate the pageantry of Napoleonic Europe, Prince Schwarzenberg's crisis of 6 and 7 February 1810 demands further investigation. Why did the prince behave in such an agitated manner before signing such a beneficial contract, one that ensured the security of the Austrian monarchy? This paper will examine the goals of the Austrian foreign minister, Count Clemens von Metternich, in his first great diplomatic bout with Napoleon, and the role of his ambassador with whom the fate of the Habsburg empire rested for a moment. A study of the evidence reveals that misdirected actions by an agent of the Austrian embassy compromised the ambassador's position. As a result, Napoleon, rebuffed by Alexander's response to the marriage proposal, took full advantage of his Austrian adversary and coerced the prince into forfeiting Metternich's designs. Bonaparte secured the archduchess and forced Vienna to accept the fait accompli without the slightest concession. As early as 1807, when Napoleon's empire approached its zenith, rumors began to circulate that the emperor might annul his childless marriage with Josephine. Austria, like the rest of Europe, held a keen interest in the emperor's plans for a new wife. The Austrian ambassador to France at that time, Metternich, cultivated an extensive network of contacts who sought advantages in the foundation of a Bonaparte-Habsburg marriage alliance. These machinations were checked, however, when Austria declared war on France in the spring of 1809. Metternich was escorted back to Vienna but his wife, Florel, who had founded favorable connections in Napoleon's imperial court, remained in Paris. The Austrians began the war with great enthusiasm to break Napoleon's influence over the German states, but it became a disastrous struggle for the survival of the Habsburg monarchy. Russian armies aided the French effort, but despite Napoleon's decisive victory at Wagram in July 1809, Austria hoped to secure an honorable peace. Metternich attended the farcical peace negotiations at Altenberg which dragged on until 14 October. Once Russia agreed to his plans, Napoleon demanded Austria's immediate capitulation. Powerless against armies from the west and east, Emperor Francis I had little choice but to accept the terms Napoleon presented. The Treaty of Schönbrunn deprived the Habsburg monarchy of 3.5 million subjects and 50,000 square miles of territory: Galicia, Salzburg, and the entire Illyrian coast. An onerous indemnity increased the government's already monstrous debt while the Austrian military was limited to 150,000 troops. The remaining Habsburg domains lay demoralized, landlocked, bankrupt, and defenseless. Metternich wisely avoided any connection with the despised treaty, and waited for its ratification before accepting the post of Austrian foreign minister. He determined that Austria must consider an alliance with Napoleon while creating tension between France and Russia. He rationalized that although France's policies were contrary to all sound principles of Habsburg diplomacy, by necessity Austria must yield and accommodate herself to the triumphant French. On the other hand, Tsar Alexander and his court, despised for allying with France and attacking Austria, must be isolated and threatened in hopes that they might "awaken more quickly when they find that nothing more is to be gained by their miserable policy." Metternich confided to his sovereign, "We must confine our methods to tacking, turning, and flattering … to preserve our existence until the day of our deliverance."4 To help achieve his designs, Metternich called Schwarzenberg to help "save the sinking ship" by succeeding him at the vitally important embassy in Paris.5 The prince, well-mannered, conservative, and of the highest Bohemian nobility, was an ideal candidate to represent Austria at Napoleon's court. As a cavalry officer of unquestioned bravery, he had served since 1792 in numerous campaigns against the French and attained the rank of General of the Cavalry after the 1809 war. On important diplomatic missions, to Bavaria in 1805 and Russia earlier in 1809, he had proven to be loyal, reliable, serious, and immune to potential court intrigues. As ambassador to the tsar, he had coordinated Austrian stratagems with Metternich in Paris. While the count had tried to persuade Napoleon of Francis' pacific intentions, Schwarzenberg entreated Alexander not to intervene on behalf of his French ally. Neither man was successful, but the prince earned Metternich's trust. Following the war, its humiliating treaty, and the minister's summons, Schwarzenberg appeared before Francis who, "with tears in his eyes," asked his prince to serve the unfortunate fatherland.6 Metternich's initial instructions to the ambassador emphasized Austria's bleak outlook and the necessity to gain time for his country to heal its wounds and eventually regain its independence. In Paris, Schwarzenberg was to promote Austria's desire for peace with France, but he was not to reveal Vienna's ardent desire for an alliance with Napoleon. Metternich concluded that at that juncture it would be difficult to determine Napoleon's reaction to his conquered foe. The ambassador must wait for the French to mention an alliance before intimating that Austria desired such a union. However, Metternich cautioned Schwarzenberg to avoid making unconsidered remarks since French representatives sometimes held such remarks as diplomatically binding by forwarding them to the press. The prince was to determine France's motivation for desiring a partnership with Austria, and the possible concessions Napoleon might offer Francis.7 Metternich hoped for a softening of the calamitous Schönbrunn treaty obligations, specifically, those regarding the indemnity and the cession of the Illyrian coast. Furthermore, Metternich's instructions also included a contingency concerning Napoleon's reception of the Austrian ambassador. If Schwarzenberg were ignored or poorly received at court, as the Prussian embassy had been received after Tilsit, he was to assert that he was merely delivering a letter from Francis to the French emperor and not acting as an official ambassador.8 The disgrace of such an embarrassing audience would indicate that Napoleon regarded Austria as an inconsequential entity, and Schwarzenberg would have no hope of attaining any of his minister's goals. Mettemich's fears were relieved when the French received Schwarzenberg with full honors at the frontier and escorted the Austrian entourage to the capital. The ambassador arrived in Paris on 21 November 1809 and sent his counsellor, Peter von Floret, to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Baptiste de Champagny, to request an introduction to the imperial court. Champagny was very courteous and initiated pleasant conversation with Floret, which also included apparently innocuous curiosity about Marie-Louise's health and education. He scheduled Schwarzenberg's formal audience much sooner than expected, Sunday 26 November. While waiting for the audience, Schwarzenberg was invited to functions hosted by the Parisian aristocracy. Schwarzenberg's introduction to Napoleon and the imperial court took place as scheduled with all requisite pomp and honor. Napoleon greeted the ambassador warmly, stating that he hoped the prince represented Francis' sincere desire to end finally the seventeen years of antagonism and develop an amicable relationship between the two nations. Schwarzenberg assured the emperor of his sovereign's benevolent policy, but Napoleon indicated his continued suspicions of Habsburg machinations. He closed the audience by reminding the ambassador that France had grown tired of receiving Austrian emissaries bearing insincere tidings of peace. "You realize that this is the fourth time?" he asked. Schwarzenberg bowed and responded, "Sire, it is the last time."9 Vienna received reports of the audience with relief while the ambassador confided to his wife, "In spite of ail my expectations, I performed my duty very well, but I would still rather head a good cavalry charge than repeat that farce."10 Shortly after the audience, the reluctant ambassador's mission took on new importance. He had noted Josephine's absence at court and he learned that on 25 November, Napoleon had informed her of his plans to annul the imperial marriage. Now, Schwarzenberg and ail of Europe were anxious to discover which new empress Napoleon would choose. The prince judged by the happiness of the Russian ambassador, Prince Alexander Kurakin, that Napoleon had extended a proposal to St. Petersburg and that the negotiations were well advanced.11 He was incorrect, however; Napoleon's overtures to St. Petersburg for a marriage had only recently begun. On 22 November Champagny instructed the French ambassador to Russia, Armand Caulaincourt, to approach the tsar about Grand-Duchess Anna as a prospective bride. Correspondence and negotiations between the two courts would require months to complete. In the meantime, a lobby of French politicians, diplomats, and businessmen who favored closer ties to Austria tried to draw the French emperor's attention to the benefits of a Habsburg alliance. Napoleon pursued the union with the Romanovs, but he desired to determine the inclinations of the Habsburgs as an alternate choice should the Russian proposal fail. Metternich had previously declined to accept a marriage between Lucien Bonaparte and an Austrian archduchess when it first emerged during the failed peace negotiations at Altenberg. When he learned later that Napoleon acted to annul his marriage to Josephine, the count initiated a course to found a "family alliance" with the French Emperor which would allow Austria much-needed security. In Vienna, Metternich discussed the prospect with Count Alexander de Laborde, a French representative of the pro-Austrian faction in Paris. He voiced his support of a Habsburg bride for Napoleon, and declared, "This idea is my own. I have not mentioned it to the Emperor (Francis) but I am sure he will be in favor of it...I would regard it as truly good fortune for us and a glory for the period of my ministry."12 Laborde reported the conversation to Paris where Hugues Maret, the Duke of Bassano, brought the revelation to Napoleon's attention. When Laborde, who had once been employed in the Austrian état major under Schwarzenberg, returned from his mission in Vienna, Maret selected him to "unofficially" query the Habsburg ambassador.13 Each with contrasting designs for achieving a common goal, Laborde and Schwarzenberg enjoyed a series of verbal jousts throughout December 1809. The count tried to gain the ambassador's trust and convince him to reveal Metternich's schemes. Schwarzenberg, who as yet had no instructions from Vienna on the matter, remained suspicious of Laborde and revealed only that such a marriage would conform to Francis' desire for peaceful relations with France. He confided to Metternich, however, "I meticulously handle my relations with Laborde, who allows me the possibility to influence the emperor (Napoleon) by way of Maret...However, I am always distrustful …because a man of bonor should serve faithfully the cause he embraces."14 Furthermore, with guarded speech and apparent pessimism towards the prospect of a Romanov marriage, the prince learned more of Napoleon's enterprises and Laborde's contrivances. The prince protested to his adversary that if Napoleon had made a proposal to Alexander, there was little doubt that it would succeed. He drew upon his experiences at the Winter Palace where he witnessed Russian court politics and Caulaincourt's influence over the tsar to assure the Frenchman of the project's inevitable success. He added, however, that France would not benefit by an alliance to Russia, "a land of a mix of insolent, barbarian, ignorant men for whom this sensible course would be of little effect, whereas another people (the Austrians) would be most grateful for it." Changing to a more hopeful tone, he spoke of the marriage Choiseul and Kaunitz had forged in 1756 and consummated in 1770, which had brought twenty years of peace between Austria and France. He even described an image of the power of the Austrian army under Napoleon's command, then he hesitated before adding, "All these hopes will only lead to regret as things are too far advanced." Laborde tried desperately to reassure him by reiterating that Napoleon had only made inquiries concerning the grand-duchess, while he still considered Marie-Louise or a Saxon princess. Furthermore, Laborde hinted that Austria could regain a lost province if the archduchess were chosen and he urged the ambassador to request counsel from Vienna.15 Schwarzenberg reported these conversations to Metternich, commenting, "We are at the brink of a great event,...it does not appear probable to me that these were vague suggestions about Marie-Louise...I must be instructed of His Majesty's (Francis) views."16 By the beginning of 1810, intrigue surrounding the marriage intensified. Napoleon grew daily more suspicious of Alexander's hesitant behavior and he sought to secure alternatives in case of the tsar's refusal. Before making future proposals, enduring prolonged negotiations, and facing the possibility of another embarrassing rebuff, he wanted assurances of a positive response. Accordingly, members of the pro-Austrian court faction attempted to determine through the "unofficial" channels of the Austrian embassy if Francis and Marie-Louise would accept a proposal. To this end, furtive discourses filled the salons of Paris and Vienna. Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand and Senator Charles-Louis de Sémonville questioned Floret while indicating that Schwarzenberg must be able to act immediately if Napoleon decided in favor of Marie-Louise. Count Louis de Narbonne and Count Louis-Guillaume Otto used contacts in Vienna in attempts to divine Habsburg policy. In the most notable instance, Josephine, Hortense, and Eugene Beauharnais invited Countess Metternich to Malmaison where Josephine informed her that she hoped Napoleon would choose the archduchess. She insisted, however, that the Emperor, before making a decision, must be certain that his proposal would be accepted.17 Napoleon hoped that Schwarzenberg might give an indication of Habsburg policy and the wills of Francis and Marie-Louise. However, the ambassador's pessimistic and reticent behavior foiled the French Emperor's schemes and it disturbed those who fervently desired his firm commitment. Despite his associates' efforts to prove the contrary, the prince maintained that the tsar would offer his sister to Napoleon. In a meeting with Schwarzenberg on 12 January, Champagny presented the ambassador with a "circular" that had been sent to the courts of Europe. The document, which in reality had not been sent to Russia, indicated that Napoleon had not yet decided which European princess to marry. Schwarzenberg gave a very evasive reply to the French minister and informed Metternich, "I measured my responses (to Champagny)...and the minister was content this time to grope without more explicitly approaching the question."18 Talleyrand and Laborde seconded Champagny's efforts. Laborde, however, became more frantic in his meetings with Schwarzenberg and insisted that Napoleon regretted the "monstrosity" of his Russian alliance. He claimed that his emperor already wanted to escape the "understandings" made at Erfurt and instructed Caulaincourt to end negotiations with Alexander. Although he did not mention it in his official report, Laborde hinted again at compensation for Austria and questioned the ambassador about which of Francis' lost provinces were most dear. Schwarzenberg replied that he dared not speculate, since all domains were of equal value to the ruler19 Laborde said that upon receiving Alexander's replies, which could never be enough to satisfy Napoleon's demands, the emperor would turn immediately to the prince. After the Frenchman admitted that he feared Schwarzenberg's hesitations might ruin the project, the ambassador retorted "with an air of confidence" that he "was still lacking instructions for an affair which could not be foreseen."20 Schwarzenberg's deceit was in accordance with the instructions he had recently received from Metternich. The minister informed the ambassador, "You desire, my prince, to receive precise directions on the intentions of his Imperial Majesty," who "far from rejecting the idea (of a marriage), authorizes you to follow it up and refuse no overtures which may be made on the subject...in a non-official character." Metternich further instructed Schwarzenberg to hint that Francis desired the marriage but "he would never force a beloved daughter into a marriage which she abhors." The ambassador was to use the archduchess' reluctance as leverage to "try to determine as far as possible the advantages France would offer to Austria" for the alliance.21 Furthermore, Metternich warned that Laborde, "a man who has played a duplicitous role in the negotiations … cannot be trusted...and is actively opposing our interests," was seeking merely to ingratiate himself with Napoleon.22 Schwarzenberg acknowledged these instructions, stating that if negotiations became official, "I will give definite answers to definite inquiries without compromising myself." In spite of his assurances to Metternich, Schwarzenberg remained despondent. At imperial court functions throughout January 1810, he witnessed the favoritism shown to the Russian ambassador, which convinced him that Napoleon's negotiations with Russia were progressing smoothly.23 In reality, French attempts to win the Grand-duchess Anna were stifled. Caulaincourt's reports of the tsar's delaying tactics arrived in Paris on 26 January and were kept very secret. Public knowledge of a humiliating refusal from St. Petersburg could make negotiating with Vienna more difficult. In an effort to conceal these reports, Napoleon told Laborde to inform Schwarzenberg of a "family conference" he had held on 28 January. Laborde claimed that the emperor's overtures to the tsar were well-received, but Napoleon declared to his assembled family and advisors that he was free still to select any bride. After finding that a majority of his counsellors were in favor of union with the Habsburgs, Napoleon felt he should determine if Austria would be as receptive. According to Laborde, Maret assured the Emperor that Schwarzenberg would tell him whether Austria would accept such a union. Napoleon agreed, saying that he preferred to treat directly with Schwarzenberg, rather than have Otto make the overtures in Vienna.24 While these machinations were carried out in hopes that Schwarzenberg would match Russia's apparently receptive stance, the Austrian ambassador admitted nothing to his contacts in Paris. Metternich responded to the prince's report of Napoleon's dexterous manoeuvers, that "the state of things allows us to wait with calmness until the official proposal" is made before "bringing forward questions of the highest importance." He reminded his ambassador that "to obtain as much as possible...must be our first consideration" even though it might entail the sacrifice of Marie-Louise.25 Both men clearly understood the advantages that a marriage to Napoleon would bestow upon the weakened Austrian position, and they were enthusiastic for the union. Further more they recognized that if Napoleon received a definitive rebuff from the Winter Palace, his remaining options would be limited. Therefore, if one believed Laborde's account of the recommendation from Napoleon's family and trusted advisors, the French Emperor might bargain with Francis rather than risk another rejection. It was through Countess Mettemich, despite Schwarzenberg's shrewd conduct, that Napoleon derived the information he needed to foil Metternich's agenda.26 Since Josephine had confided her hopes for a Habsburg marriage to her, Florel was convinced that she could play a great role in bringing them to fruition. Following her report of this auspicious tête-à-tête, her husband instructed her how to respond if the subject arose in future encounters with the empress. In a letter dated 27 January 1810, Metternich admitted that two significant barriers to the marriage, the annulment's religious difficulties, and Marie-Louise's consent, had been removed.27 Unfortunately, since the exciting revelation at Malmaison, Fiord had no other opportunity to converse with Josephine. However, at a few of the masked bails that winter, Napoleon had made several enticing comments to her. With her anticipation and anxiety over the marriage increasing, she had to rely on information from Laborde and Karl Theodor von Dalberg. They warned her that Schwarzenberg's reluctant, apathetic behavior might cause Napoleon to reconsider selecting the archduchess. She complained about the prince to her husband, "I believe in general that he really is not in his place as an envoy." Her distress grew.28 In the first days of February, frustrated and mistrusting Schwarzenberg's abilities, Countess Metternich acted. She revealed her husband's secret and candid letter to Dalberg, who realized its significance and copied parts of the letter which he then brought to Napoleon.29 The timing of Countess Metternich's indiscretion could not have been more disadvantageous to Austria's purposes. On 5 February, new reports (dated 15 and 21 January) from St. Petersburg indicated that Alexander still had made no decision despite Caulaincourt's setting a deadline. The tsar's intransigence left Napoleon free to seize the opportunity that Dalberg had presented. The Emperor then sent Eugène to secure Schwarzenberg's commitment before news of the Russian refusal to respond became known. The viceroy recounted that when he returned to Napoleon with Schwarzenberg's answer, "before the word 'yes' was out of my mouth, the great man was consumed with a joy so impetuous and full that I stood stupefied."30 Champagny spent the night of 6—7 February researching the archives to prepare a contract of marriage based on the one between Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. At noon on the 7th, Schwarzenberg fulfilled his commitment to Eugene and signed the contract, still unaware of the events placing him in such an uncomfortable predicament. He informed Metternich of the disingenuous excuses he had made to Champagny for not being prepared to sign a contract. Schwarzenberg pleaded to the French minister that his hesitant reaction "could only be attributed to the impossibility that my ministry could imagine such a rapid conclusion to an affair so scarcely anticipated."31 Actually, the prince had been prepared to receive Napoleon's proposal, but he was shocked that his embassy somehow forfeited a chance for negotiations. Countess Metternich, however, was delighted by the outcome and wrote to her husband: Thus the grand affair is ended. God be praised that he gives it his blessing! I will not boast, but I made no small contribution to the success. I will tell you more of the details when I see you. Your letter made a great impression not on the person for whom it was intended—she never saw it—but on the high personage (Napoleon) who got his hands on it. But for heaven's sake let us not speak of that. Prince Schwarzenberg knows nothing about it; he was even opposed that I use it at ail. I followed solely the inspiration of my little head. Now the affair is successful and it is everything we could desire. But what terrible nights I have spent, how much anxiety and fear I endured! It is truly indescribable.32 There is no dispute that Austria benefïtted greatly by the marriage. As Metternich had hoped, it prevented any strengthening of the failing Franco-Russian alliance. It also restored some badly-needed Habsburg prestige and, most importantly, it secured Austria's unguarded borders. Despite these obvious gains, in his memoirs Metternich refused to admit that his wife's thoughtlessness had allowed Napoleon to deprive Austria of even greater concessions. He claimed that Francis had consented to the marriage "with the express reservation that on neither side shall any condition be attached to it." He wrote that when Napoleon sounded Schwarzenberg out regarding possible concessions, "the ambassador was in a position to express himself in the same sense as the Emperor (Francis)."33 One must note, however, that although Metternich's account of this event was somewhat selective, he nevertheless hurried to Paris following the nuptials in Vienna, to try to recover some of what his wife had given away.

Schwarzenberg incorrectly dated the letter "8 January." Other historians have used this rnisake as another example of the prince's consternation after signing the contract. It is more likely that the error was a typical one, not caused by haste since the letter was sent the day after the crisis. Schwarzenberg's previously cited letter to Metternich of 7 February was, however, hurriedly written and despatched. 32 Countess Metternich to Metternich, 7 February 1810, Fournier, "Zur Heirat Napoleons," 97. 33 Metternich, Memoirs, 1, 120—21.

"You have to have a plan with and for your family," said Beth Bauer, CEO of the Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. "It is because of my work with the Red Cross that I have worked with my family to establish a plan."
There are steps you can take to prepare your home and family for the unexpected disaster, but what are the "must haves" for disaster preparedness?
The Red Cross outlines what is needed to become "Red Cross Ready."
A three-day supply of non-perishable food needs to be on hand. Be sure the food can be prepared with little or no water or heating, keeping in mind that there may not be electricity for days. When packing the canned items into your emergency bag, include a manual can opener. Peel-top can lids are also good choices.
All items, including food, should be kept in an easy-to-carry kit that can be stored at home and also taken with you.
Other items that should be included in the kit are: water, flashlights, radios, first aid kit, medication, medical supplies, cellphone and charger, cash, emergency contact information, map, personal documents and blankets.
Bauer also said the search and rescue efforts in Joplin highlighted the importance and helpfulness of air horns and whistles.
"When communication goes down or power is out, these items can still be used by those who may be trapped under debris," she said. "Air horns and whistles can save lives. Texting was also able to help pinpoint some victims' locations."
The Red Cross website, www.redcross.org, will help walk families through how to become as prepared as possible for natural disasters.
In the steps for becoming Red Cross Ready, the program will take you through what is needed for your family.
For seven days, a family of four should have: 28 gallons of water, 56 meals (two for each day, keeping in mind these will be smaller meals), two flashlights, one radio, one first aid kit, a set of medication for each person daily, two-pack of batteries per emergency kit (be sure they are the sizes needed for flashlights and radio) one multi-purpose tool, one set of personal documents with information regarding each person, cash, four sets of emergency contact information, four emergency blankets and one map of local area.
Bauer said it is important to not just have these items at home, but have them gathered and in an emergency bag that can be grabbed when leaving the home or seeking shelter in the home.
"People do not want to leave their homes, but unless you have a basement or strong interior wall, it is not always the safest to remain in your home," she said, noting the recent destruction of mobile homes during the Wednesday tornado in Sedalia.
While the recent disasters have brought preparedness to the forefront of many people's minds, it always should be, Bauer said.
"Overall we, as society, have become very lackadaisical in thinking that these disasters will not happen to us,' Bauer said. "They can and do. We need to be proactive and take things seriously. We cannot be storm watchers from our front porch. We must be prepared and protect ourselves and families."

Ogun State police arrest pastor who fingered member to validate her virginity
Wednesday, 05 March 2014 08:58
POLICE in Ogun State have arrested Pastor Adekunle Kayode of the Way Evangelistic Ministry of Abeokuta for fingering a 20 year old parishioner to validate claims that she was a virgin.
Yesterday, the Ogun State Police Command confirmed that Pastor Kayode, 34, was arrested after a complaint that he carried out the test on the victim at the church's premises in Olorunshogo, Abeokuta. According to the police, the victim told her father, who subsequently reported the matter to them and as a result, detectives attached to the Kemta division of the command arrested the pastor.
Muyiwa Adejobi, the public relations officer of the Ogun State Police Command, said: "Kayode was arrested at his home on Okediyi Street, Abeokuta. Another suspect, Onatade Oluwasegun, 23, of Sheriff Onatade Street, Obantoko, was also arrested for conspiring with Kayode to use the victim for ritual purposes.
"The victim, who is 20 years old, alleged that Kayode also had indulged in this ungodly act for years. She also accused Kayode of fingering her several times even while she was on her monthly periods, alleging that last Sunday, the pastor fingered her again to confirm her virginity while she was in the church for a programme."
Mr Adejobi added that Mr Oluwasegun, who is Pastor Kayode's accomplice, allegedly used a charm on the victim with the intention of raping her, possibly for ritual purposes. He pointed out that the Ogun State police commissioner Ikemefuna Okoye, has directed that the matter be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
After a search of the church, charms were recovered, which Pastor Kayode, was said to have hidden on the premises. Of late, evangelical churches across Nigeria have been under increased scrutiny after growing incidences of clergymen abusing members of their congregations in different manners.

Hear me and hear me well…..
All these incidents you people are hearing and seeing everyday and everywhere about so called "pastors" abusing and committing all sorts of evil against or with church members;
Be warned, The Holy Bible made it clear that in [censored] TIME there will be fake pastors, false teachers, (the ach-enemy of mankind is raising this fake pastors in order to distract people from going to church to worship God in truth and in spirit.
So be warned!
Don't be distracted, focus on Jesus the author and finisher of your faith.
He loves u real good, surr[censored]e r ur life totally to Jesus, study the Word of God; for ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

More people applied for U.S. unemployment benefits last week. But the overall level stayed low enough to suggest the job market is strengthening.
The Labor Department says weekly applications increased by 8,000 to a seasonally adjusted 362,000, the highest level since January.
The four-week average, which smooths week-to-week fluctuations, edged up to 355,000, its first increase in eight weeks. Still, that's only slightly above the previous week's figure of 354,750, the lowest in nearly four years.
Applications have fallen 14 percent since October. When applications fall below 375,000, that generally signals hiring is strong enough to reduce the unemployment rate. The steady decline has coincided with three months of big hiring gains.

- Johnny Erain: Witnesses are flunking around the unveiling of Bikini Bottom's newest bank: The Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank.
- Mayor: [cuts the ribbon] The first one hundred customers who joins Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank will receive instant interest on their deposit.
- [the view shifts to the Krusty Krab with Mr. Krabs spitting soda at the television screen
- Mr. Krabs: "Instant interest"?! Well, that's practically giving money away! [runs to SpongeBob] SpongeBob! You're in charge while I run down to the Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank! I gotta get down there before they run out of dough! [runs very fast out of the Krusty Krab and into the Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank] Money, here I co... Huh? [looks around at all of the customers getting their money out and starts speaking gibberish]
- Nancy Suzy Fish: Thanks for banking with Bank of Bikini Bottom Bank! [takes out money] And here's your instant interest. [gives the customer money]

Used daily!
By Garage Junkie
from deer park Tx.
About Me Professional
These are absolutely great for the money! I have other name brand clamps on the rack along side these and eventhough these aren't as pretty, they dont have a fancy logo, they dont have as nice of a fit and finish and they dont have the threaded hole and v pad for clamping pipe; They are absolutely acceptional considering they cost a third of the name brand f style clamps. I have 12 or more of these and they get used daily! I have also modified several of these to suit my needs and it doesnt bother me one bot to cut and weld on these knowing the price i paid for them. Bottom line, if your a fabricator, tinkerer or a do it your selfer these things are great!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

For what I paid for it !
By Big " E "
from Myrtle Point , Oregon .
For what it is at what I paid for it , then yes this is a super buy from Harbor Freight Tools .
Great Clamp - Excellent Deal
By Chris De La Torre
from Citrus Heights, CA
While it isn't quite as heavy duty as a real Bessey clamp, its only a portion of the cost and still heavy duty enough to meet most any needs as a welding clamp. Haven't had any issues with the plating coming off. I'd recommend painting them with ceramic type engine paint as spatter will stick to them, especially the copper plated threads. This is a sure buy. Cheap enough to buy four easily. This is one of the best items at Harbor Freight for the quality and the cost. You can drill and tap (or weld a nut) the top jaw to accept the pivoting pipe and stand off attachments sold separately by Strong Hand Tools to make it even more versatile.
Excellent Clamp
By DJR
from Marin
These clamps are possibly the best value HF has. They are excellent and a fraction of the cost of name brands. No compromise in quality.

Joint service run symbolizes fight against sexual assault
April 14, 2014
More than 1,200 Fort Meade service members kicked off a month of Sexual Assault Awareness Month activities with a 3-mile run through the installation on Friday morning.
The Joint Service Sexual Assault Awareness Day of Action Community Run began a monthlong dedication to addressing and working to prevent sexual assault and harassment in the military.
Each year, April is dedicated to heightening awareness of the crime, as well as informing the community of services offered and encouraging victims to use the resources.
"We ran this morning as a symbol of our unity and our commitment towards combating sexual assault and harassment in our military," Garrison Commander Col. Brian P. Foley said.
Foley and Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas J. Latter kicked off the event with the signing of the Sexual Assault Awareness Month proclamation in the McGlachlin Parade Field gazebo.
"Sexual harassment and assault must be stopped in our ranks," Foley said. "We all have personal responsibilities in this fight."
The 12 Fort Meade units, which stood in formation along the parade field, began marching toward English Avenue shortly after Reveille at 6:30 a.m to start the 3-mile run.
Led by a fire truck, as well as Foley and Latter, service members ran through the installation carrying unit flags and singing cadences.
Runners arrived back at the parade field around 7 a.m. They momentarily returned to their formations before crowding around the gazebo for remarks from Foley, who discussed Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month, which is also commemorated in April.
"As we go through this month, also think about our children," Foley said. "Our children are the future of this nation, of our world. Every child deserves to grow up in an environment free of abuse."
Foley said the run was held to show the military?'s unity and commitment against sexual assault and harassment.
"They are cancers that literally attack the very fibers of our strength and our unity that we need so deeply in our military," he said. "This month we take time out to pay special attention and focus on this cancer."
Everybody has the responsibility to check their own actions in their daily lives and to inform others if they experience or see the problem, Foley said.
"Every human being deserves to come to work and live their lives free of fear," he said. "Assault and harassment do nothing but create fear in other human beings."

Rabbi Daniel Lapin
August 10, 2014
Does the importance of working in your field disappear later in Scripture? From the following passages, it seems as if society's prosperity hinges only on one's relationship to God.
Are you a specialist in your field of work? What career field should I go into? Will history graduates find work in their field? Why is the word field by far the most common metaphor for work, career, or profession? Why not ask, "what river do you work in?" Or, "what road of work do you walk?" Or, "can you find work in your stream?"
This usage of language derives from the Bible. While working in your field can mean agriculturally since that is the means of earning a living most often referred to in Scripture, on a larger scale your field means whatever honorable way you have of earning a living. Just as a field provides a farmer with sustenance, so does a field of work do the same for the professional in that field.
Prepare your work externally and make yourself fit for the field; then afterwards build your house. (Proverbs 24:27)
Ancient Jewish wisdom explains this verse to mean that the best way to order your life is first learn to do work that others (outside of yourself) find useful, then establish your career performing that work. After that, you'll be in a position to build your house, meaning, create your family.
Excelling in your field provides blessing not only for you but also for others in your society. Noah's name means 'rest' and he brought the possibility of rest to mankind by increasing the agricultural yields of the fields. Notice how Noah is named:
And he called his name Noah, saying, this one shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord has cursed. (Genesis 5:29)
Sure enough, God had cursed the earth.
...cursed is the ground for your sake...thorns and thistles will it bring forth to you... (Genesis 3:17-18)
How did Noah 'comfort us concerning our work'? Ancient Jewish wisdom explains that Noah invented the plow allowing mankind to draw more from the cursed earth with less effort. Similarly, by being productive we too add value to the lives of those around us. For this reason, a Biblical worldview frowns upon earning one's living as a professional gambler. No matter how much money one wins by gambling, nobody else's life is thereby improved.
Does the importance of working in your field disappear later in Scripture? From the following passages, it seems as if society's prosperity hinges only on one's relationship to God.
And it will be that if you carefully obey my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give you the rain of your land in its season...that you may gather in your grain, and your wine, and your oil and I will send grass in your fields for your cattle, that you will eat and be satisfied. (Deuteronomy 11:13-15)
This Book of the Torah shall not depart from your mouth; but you shall meditate on it day and night that you may observe and do all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8)
If we are meditating on the Torah day and night, obeying God's commands with all our heart, when do we find time to plant that grain, those vines and olive trees? Ancient Jewish wisdom's answer is that we "serve Him" and "do all that is written in it" largely through supplying the needs of God's other children.
We humans are holistic. Even our bodies do best when our spiritual and physical sides are synchronized. Why does a placebo have any therapeutic impact at all in modern medicine? People's bodies perform better when their brains and souls are on board with the program. This is why most people choose doctors in whom they have confidence. A patient's recovery is directly linked to how much confidence that patient has in his or her medical advisers. It is almost as if your body knows what is in your mind and responds accordingly. Helping your mind to know and believe that what you do professionally is good, noble, and worthwhile helps to fuel your energies and propel your efforts.
No wonder 'you will eat and be satisfied'. No wonder 'you will make your way prosperous and you will have good success'. Working in our fields is part of our holy calling.
Many of us first met Noah when we were children. Yet his life, as the lives of others in Scripture, contains vital lessons for us as adults. We do ourselves a disservice by not approaching them with mature intellect. The 8 audio CDs in our Genesis Journeys Set will amaze you as they reveal astounding messages hidden in Genesis. It remains on sale for 24 hours longer, letting you access practical wisdom that can change your life at incredible savings.

The picture you see above is the result of what happened after a Daytona Beach father allegedly walked in on a man sexually battering his 11-year-old son Friday.
"I just walked in on a grown man molesting …," the upset father told a dispatcher. "And I got him in a bloody puddle for you, officer."
Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said very simply, "Dad was acting like a dad. I don't see anything we should charge the dad with…You have an 18-year-old who has clearly picked his target, groomed his target and had sex with the victim multiple times." The Daytona Beach News-Journal has the full story:
Police responding to the Daytona Beach home at 1:07 a.m. Friday after the father called them found Raymond Frolander, 18, of Holly Hill lying motionless on the living room floor. Frolander had several knots on his face and was bleeding from the mouth, an arrest report states.

Sims, Griner lead Baylor women to 90-46 win over Missouri
Wednesday, January 4, 2012
WACO, Texas (AP) — Missouri came into Wednesday night's game against Baylor with a 10-1 record without having faced a team quite like the top-ranked Lady Bears.
Odyssey Sims scored 22 points, and Brittney Griner had 14 points, nine rebounds and eight blocks to lead Baylor to a 90-46 rout of the Tigers in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
Missouri (10-2, 0-1) had been winning by an average of 18 points — the closest victory a 56-54 win over Eastern Illinois — but quickly fell behind 18-3. BreAnna Brock hit a 3-pointer for Missouri about 2 minutes in for the Tigers' only points in the first 7:19.
"I'll tell you what, Baylor's everything they are talked up to be and a little bit more," Missouri coach Robin Pingeton said. "They've got tremendous players, a tremendous coaching staff, tremendous fans. It's where we all want to get to. ... We're a young, inexperienced team and obviously, it was pretty glaring tonight."
Brock finished with 14 points.
Kimetria Hayden scored 14 and Jordan Madden added 12 for Baylor (14-0, 1-0), which is 14-0 for the first time in school history. Destiny Williams had 10 rebounds and Terran Condrey scored 10 points.
Missouri's Christine Flores, who came in averaging 21.9 points and four blocks — second in the conference in both categories to Griner — had just 10 points and two blocked shots.
"Our non-conference schedule was not set up to mirror the Big 12," Pingeton said. "We're not ready for that yet. Obviously, it's the best team we've played so far. We've got a heck of a scout team at home, but even our scout team can't implement the kind of things a team like Baylor can do."
Baylor, the preseason favorite to win the Big 12, saw Griner contribute a pair of baskets and Hayden knocking down a 3-pointer and driving for a layup to end the game-opening run. Baylor hit four 3s in the first 9 minutes of the game and led 24-7 with 11:25 left before halftime.
Late in the first half, Missouri twice couldn't get a shot off and committed back-to-back shot clock violations.
Baylor, which has beaten tops 10 teams Notre Dame, Tennessee and Connecticut, scored 54 points in the paint and 12 on fast breaks.
Missouri put together just one scoring run of its own, a 6-0 effort behind Brock and Sydney Crafton, who each hit a pair of free throws to go with a jumper from Flores.
Baylor led 65-39 at that point.
"You've got the offensive gurus and then you've got those hard-nosed defensive coaches," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "And we've got some tremendous talent on the offensive end. But I tell every one of them when we recruit them, 'You're going to play defense. It may take me a while to get me to the point where I need to get you, but you're going to play defense."'
With substitutes on the floor, Baylor closed the game on a 10-2 run, with Missouri's only points in the final 3 minutes coming on a pair of free throws by Bailey Gee. Missouri made 14 of its 16 free throw attempts, while Baylor was 6-of-8 from the line.
"I thought we did a good job of limiting how many times they went to the free throw line on their end, and we converted on ours," Pingeton said. "I'm really trying to find the positives right now. It's hard, but this is where our program's at right now."

(September 14, 2013) Top-seeded Bojana Jovanovski, who came into the event as a qualifier, won her second career WTA title on Saturday by coming back to stop Olga Govortsova 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (3) in the final of the Tashkent Open.
The Serb came through qualifying after missing the cut-off date for entry while waiting for a wrist injury to heal.
"Anybody could have won this match today," Jovanovski said. "It was a close match and all credit to Olga for an incredible battle. I'm so happy, and I didn't really believe I could do it today. I've had a tough year. I haven't had too many matches, so it was good that I had to play the qualies. It's great to finish this week on a good note. This title means a lot to me. I'll be back next year."
The 21-year-old Jovanovski's first tournament win came in Baku last year.

Water Conservation
Medtronic used approximately 1.2 million cubic meters of water in fiscal year 2010, representing more than a 10 percent reduction compared to fiscal year 2009, normalized to revenue.
We achieved significant savings at our U.S. facilities in Tempe, Arizona; Memphis, Tennessee; and Fridley, Minnesota by implementing projects to optimize production, water purification, and cooling systems, as well as more efficient irrigation programs.
Medtronic Microelectronics Center Increases Evaporation Cycles to Conserve Water
Employees at the Medtronic Microelectronics Center in Tempe, Arizona, USA modified facility cooling tower operations so that water is used for four cycles instead of two, reducing the amount of water required by the system while maintaining similar performance. This change saved 17,000 cubic meters of water and $30,000 annually.

The Upvote Friendship
Are "one-click actions" supplanting—or supplementing—actual relationships?
"Which human instinct does the 'like' button appeal to more?" I asked. "Laziness or positivity?"
Burke—again, unsurprisingly—chose the latter. "If it were laziness, you wouldn't respond at all. Pressing the 'like' button is more than a single click; there are all kinds of social implications about your relationship that go into that single key press. 'Is it creepy? How long has it been since we last talked? Do I still care about her, and does she care about me? What will other people think?' Pressing 'like' is a signal that you care."
Indeed, a "like" is large. It contains multitudes. Like any other form of nonverbal communication, there's so much that can be said, and in such a subtle way. Maybe that's what we're all after. In a domain that's so cluttered with blinking ads, viral nonsense, and anonymous vitriol, a "like" is one way not to harsh someone's vibe.
But to hell with subtlety. In the name of science, I decided to knock down the fourth wall of the upvote friendship complex by contacting a number of said friends directly and asking them for their take on our passive tendencies.
Their responses varied drastically. Some acknowledged laziness. Many ultimately pointed to the efficiency factor. A couple said nothing at all. One suggested I, you know, pick up the phone to talk. Another pointed out that technology eliminates the need to check in on our friends because we're constantly doing the checking in for one another. Sometimes it's all we really have time for.
"I browse through my news feed as an ADD habit at work just to take my mind off of something for 30 seconds," said one. "I'll like things because that's basically all I can do at the moment."
In taking sides on the matter, people seem to fall along a Turkle/Hampton divide. That is, they either echo the views of Rutgers professor Keith Hampton, who believes lightweight interactions are entry-level fodder for reviving latent friendships or engaging with our communities, or they take MIT professor Sherry Turkle's more cautionary stance: that we use technology as a crutch, expect less of one another, and are lonelier as a result.
But did reaching out to my old friends lift a veil of complacency that had settled over us simply because Facebook enabled it? Not exactly. If anything, it seemed to confirm that people have and always will grow apart, even while remaining in the other's corner, so to speak.
"When the telephone first came out, people worried that it would destroy relationships, since it appeared to be a 'cheaper' way to communicate," said Burke. "Same for email. But we've realized over time that the channel is less important than how you use it. You can say hi to someone in the hall every day and not feel close; conversely, getting a 'like' from someone you haven't seen in three years can remind you how great they are."
But not so fast! That still doesn't answer the question of why we persist in falling in and out of "like," but all at arm's length.
"Sometimes you just don't know what to say to a friend, even if you support them, so it's easier to click 'like,' " said Burke.
Are we too overtaxed, Dunbar-wise, to meet for coffee, or is it simply that we like one another, but only in small doses? I guess if you're ever keen on finding out, you could always just write an essay about it.
