Just about everybody does
something else while they're driving. In a study performed by the University of
North Carolina for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, researchers put surveillance
cameras in the cars of 70 volunteers and tracked what drivers did while they were
behind the wheel -- besides drive, that is.
The top activity,
at 97.1 percent, was reaching or leaning over to find things, followed closely
by fiddling with the radio.
After that came talking to other
people in the car, which was reported separately from "dealing with passengers"
(i.e., threatening to turn the car around and go home). Just over 71 percent of
the volunteers ate or drank while driving.
Then they moved
into the more unsettling activities: 45.7 percent participated in "grooming"
activities, such as brushing their hair, applying make-up or shaving, and 40 percent
read or wrote while driving.
Only 30 percent of the
volunteers talked on a cell phone while driving; 7.1 percent smoked.
While all of these things are riveting, Bankrate.com decided to
conduct its own completely unscientific study, consisting entirely of asking
people we knew to pass along stupid driving behaviors they had witnessed. In
rare instances, the person reporting the behavior admitted to being the person
who had engaged in it.
Bankrate.com does not condone or endorse driving while performing
any of these activities, all of which, for the record, are really bad ideas.
The reported activities were:

Four last minute Napa Valley gift ideas for the wine lover
The holiday shopping crunch is in full effect and if you're like us, you're just now getting around to sorting out what you're going to get for those on your list.
We've already shared a few of our suggestions for the foodie in your life and now we've got a few thoughts for those of you with a wine lover on your list…
Here are four suggestions in no particular order.
- If you're in the market for a white wine you can't go wrong with the 2009 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley. Year in and year out Spottswoode produces some of our favorite Sauvignon Blancs in the valley. The '09 was one of our Summer favorites and it retails for just $36 per 750ml bottle
- In terms of reds, check out the 2008 Vineyard 29 CRU Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a classic Napa Valley Cabernet that checks in at the lower end of Vineyard 29's lineup while still going through the same winemaking process (hand sorting, processing in a gravity flow winery) as the more expensive offerings. Find it online in the $50 per 750ml bottle range
- If you're looking to mix it up a bit, Round Pond Estate's "Mini" Four Bottle Gift Set is a fun option. You'll get a total of four 50ml bottles of Round Pond's estate olive oil and Rutherford red wine vinegar. The set includes one Italian Varietal Olive Oil, one Blood Orange Olive Oil, one Cabernet & Merlot Red Wine vinegar and one Sangiovese, Nebbiolo & Petit Verdot Red Wine Vinegar. The best part? It costs just $35 and can be purchased online
- For the serious collector, Smith-Madrone Winery has put together a killer 3-vintage Cabernet vertical collection featuring its 2002, 2003, 2004 vintages. The Spring Mountain producer sources its fruit from its own estate vineyards located nearly 2,000 feet above the valley floor. The three vintage vertical collection will allow for interesting comparisons between growing seasons and will run you $150. Find it online.
Happy holiday shopping!

Skype 6.0 rolls out to Windows and Mac OS X
Adds support for signing in through Facebook and messaging via Microsoft services
VOICE OVER IP (VoIP) and chat service Skype has rolled out the latest version of its popular client software today, Skype 6.0 for Windows and Mac OS X.
The software update brings a host of new features including support for signing in through Facebook for Windows users and Retina display support and multiple chat windows for Apple users.
"You can now sign into Skype using your Microsoft or Facebook account," Skype's beta programme manager Raul Liive said in a post on its blog. "There's no need to create a new Skype account. This makes it even easier to connect with friends on Skype without having to set up another account."
For subscribers to Microsoft's services like Hotmail, Outlook.com and Windows Live Messenger, the new Skype 6.0 will allow you to communicate with other subscribers of those services all in one place via instant messaging.
Liive said that Skype, which is owned by Microsoft, is also working on a feature that will enable audio and video calls to Windows Live Messenger customers using Skype desktop clients, and that will be available "in coming weeks".
As well as these three major improvements, the Skype 6.0 client software has been localised for six more languages on Windows, including Thai, Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Catalan and Slovak.
As for Apple users, Microsoft has added support to open chats in multiple windows as well as support for the Retina display. "Now you can take full advantage of improved usability and of higher resolution screens," Skype said.
The overall interface of Skype 6 has also had a makeover on both Windows and Mac, making it simpler and less cluttered. The look of the instant messaging and SMS areas is also improved, and the online user counter has been removed so that more friends can be seen in the program's contacts window.
Skype announced Skype for Windows 8 on Wednesday, which will be released along with the operating system on 26 October.
The firm detailed the app ahead of its release later this week, giving us our first glimpse of the restyled client application.
The redesigned app ties in nicely with Microsoft's Windows 8 user interface, displaying contacts and favourites in tiles as well as integrating Microsoft's People application, which lets you see your contacts' latest Facebook status and pin your favourite contacts to the Windows 8 home screen. µ

Results tagged ' Joe Mauer '
When Delmon Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy
One of the startling (but in a good way) characteristics of the 2009 Minnesota Twins has been their ability to overcome injury adversity and play on despite extended DL trips for three starters (Orlando Hudson, Nick Punto, and Justin Morneau) and a beat-up Joe Mauer. Guys like Delmon Young, Michael Cuddyer, Alexi Casilla, Drew Butera, and Danny Valencia have found their niches over the past few months.
However, if the first two games dropped in Tropicana tell us anything (besides the fact that the Rays are fast and shouldn't be walked, respectively), it is that Delmon Young is the key to everything right now (at least with Morneau still on the sidelines). So far against Rays pitching, Delmon is 1-9. Without him spraying the ball everywhere, the Twins just don't have enough lineup depth to keep mounting rallies when needed.
Thus, against good teams that we can't just clobber, we all too often send a bullpen full of late-inning collapsers (Guerrier, Crain, Mijares) into the game at the most pressure-filled situations. Unless the splits/matchups go exactly our way, bad things are almost bound to happen.
I'm not saying that the pen is altogether rotten, but put it this way…right now I have as much confidence in Jesse Crain as in anyone else that comes out of those swinging doors, and anybody who has read my blog in the past knows how difficult it is for me to even CONSIDER that statement.
-Another good start for Duensing (just one mistake that happened to be hammered by Sean Rodriguez), but still too many walks, which only serve to raise the pitch count and tack on runs that shouldn't ever materialize.
-Woke up this morning, heard Brett Favre had texted his retirement to the Vikings, and thought "Well, the Twins had better be the bread-winners this sports season". Of course, that would mean I actually BELIEVE #4…
Preview (59-48, 2nd, 1.5 GB CWS): Scott Baker (9-9, 5.00) vs. David Price (14-5, 2.90).
Making 'Em Sweat
Last night, the Minnesota Twins look for all the world to be headed to another disappointing loss on the road. Down 5-2 after five innings, Carl Pavano was getting beat by the long ball and the bats weren't doing much of anything (besides grounding to Lyle Overbay, that is).
However, that is when the bats started to heat up:
Not only did it take back-to-back jacks from Morneau and Kubel to jump back into the game, but big hits were also needed from Mauer (dinger), and doubles by Thome and Delmon Young (who finished the game 3-3) since the pen kept serving up the meatballs.
As much as everyone is worried about the Twins right now, I think that our hitting is what it is and we aren't going to change anything. If we continue to trot out a Span-O-Dawg-Mauer-Morneau-Cuddy-Kubes-Big D-Big Jim-JJ lineup, we'll score runs:
If it doesn't, then we probably just don't deserve to make the playoffs anyway, so why worry? Thus, are biggest area of improvement will be pitching. Cliff Lee would be huge, but enough so to mortage away guys like Wilson Ramos and Aaron Hicks? At this point, I would have to say yes. With that kind of potent lineup day in and day out, we may actually have a chance to take on the mighty Yanks in the playoffs this year (one always has to assume that the AL road to the World Series runs through the Big Apple), but not without a few pitchers to hold back their firepower. Sending Lee, Liriano, and Pavano/Slowey/Baker/Blackie to the mound would give as at least a fair shake against their big bats, I think, though of course nothing is guaranteed.
Another key…more pictures like this:
-Too bad Delmon Young won't win the Final Vote balloting, but Kevin Youkilis probably deserves it. Just as long as Swish doesn't make it…man I hate that guy!
Preview (45-38, 2nd, 0.5 GB DET): Kevin Slowey (8-5, 4.57) vs. Marc Rzepczynski (0-0, 0.00). The Tigers needed some late-inning heroics to preserve their division lead last night, so let's keep the pressure on. I don't want to be two games back heading into Comerica this weekend.
A Solid Nine
This afternoon, the Twins rapped out 9 hits (two apiece from Morneau, Kubel, & Cuddyer) against the Tigers, while Kevin Slowey followed Blackie's example and turned in his first quality start in ages, beating the Tigres 5-1 and pushing them just a bit further back in the AL Central standings.
The thing I wanted to comment on today, though, is the kind of lineup the Twins will be able to put on the field everyday once JJ Hardy gets back from his injury (likely this weekend):
1. Denard Span, CF
2. Orlando Hudson, 2B
3. Joe Mauer, C
4. Justin Morneau, 1B
5. Michael Cuddyer, 3B
6. Jason Kubel, RF
7. Delmon Young, LF
8. Jim Thome, DH
9. JJ Hardy, SS
Wow…Thome batting eigth?! Of course, the two concerns are Cuddy's defense at third and Thome's status as everyday player (even at DH), but if those things pan out, that lineup could be as deadly as any order this side of the Yankees in the American League. Plus, Gardy could (and would) bring Nick Punto off the bench as a defensive sub at practically any infield position late in the game.
I know that the Twins have always been a streaky bunch of hitters the last few years, with Young, Cuddyer, and Morneau (although perhaps not his '10 form) prone to terrible dry spells, but that is where the depth comes in. When guys 1-9 can provide big hits, it would take every single one of them in a slump to slow production.
-It was nice to see Slowey strike a few guys out today. Whereas Blackburn needs the ball to dive to get outs, Slowey needs to have his perfect control, which will lead to some K's in big spots.
Preview (43-35, 1st, 1.5 GA DET): Jeff Niemann (6-2, 2.72) vs. Carl Pavano (9-6, 3.33). Man, if Pavano was any shorter, he'd be the spitting image of this guy:
Three Times…A Charm
After the Twins jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning against the Tigers tonight, then just as quickly fell behind 3-2, it looked like perhaps another one of "those" nights would transpire.
However, Blackburn settled down nicely (not spectacular, but enough to give him another turn in the rotation for sure), and let the batters take over.
The obvious player of the game was Denard Span, who tripled three times (tying a club record held by Ken Landreaux in 1980), drive in five runs, and scored twice to kick-start an offense that, by all means, needed a little jolt to the backside.
Joe Mauer and Michael Cuddyer also picked up clutch hits to break out of some batting doldrums, while Jim Thome hit career home run #572, putting him within one of Harmon Killebrew (I wonder if the Killer will be at the park tomorrow afternoon?!), en route to an eventual 11-4 victory that moved the Twins back into first place.
-That outfield wall may not have too many balls fly over it at Target Field, but it sure gives fielders (especially towards that right-center area) fits with all those angles jutting out. First Thome hits a three-bagger, than Span does him two better in a single game!
Preview (42-35, 1st, 0.5 GA DET): Andrew Oliver (0-1, 3.00) vs. Kevin Slowey (7-5, 4.79). Hopefully Slowey can make like his rotation buddy Blackburn and give us another quality start to retain first place.
Heading into the top of the ninth inning of Saturday's game against the the Phillies, it looked as if the Twins were headed for a sweep at the hands of the defending NL champs. But then, less than 24 hours later, the Twins had taken two of three from the Phils and salvaged what looked to be a disaster.
Thome, Mauer, Butera, and Young provided the late-inning offense in the thrilling Saturday comeback (featuring a blown save by Jon Rauch that prolonged the game even further), while Carl Pavano out-pitched Roy Halladay (Yankee fans, I bet you never thought you'd read that sentence!) on Sunday.
Now, on to the city of Brats & Beer!
Preview (40-29, 1st, 1.5 GA DET): Scott Baker (6-5, 4.41) vs. Chris Narveson (5-4, 5.79).
A Few More Feet
I didn't get to see much of tonight's game, as I was watched LOST over at a friend's house (I know, I know…priorities, right?).
When I picked things up, the Twins were down 5-2 going into the bottom of the eighth. Mauer lined a single, then Morneau followed with a mammoth drive that, as John Gordon described it, was just a foot or so away from leaving the park and pulling the Twins to within one. NO!!
The way I figure it, if we are losing to the White Sox in the late innings, I feel pretty good about my chances of tying things up if we are only down by one. Why? Because Ozzie Guillen will motion for this guy, Bobby Jenks…
Talk about your overrated closers. He's got a tremendous fastball, but nothing else, thus Twins hitters (having seen him so much) ALWAYS seem to hit him around. True to form, Thome launched a double off him in the ninth in a scenario that may have played out much differently had it only been a one-run ballgame. Ugh!
Slowey must have gotten roughed up in that fifth inning, but it was nice to see Alex Burnett and Co. keep the Twins in the game until the very end. A pen like that can be dangerous to opponents you think they have the game won and go into coast mode, only to see us chip away at the lead.
Preview (21-12, 1st, 2.5 GA DET): John Danks (3-1, 1.98) vs. Carl Pavano (3-3, 3.43). If Pavano gives us another solid outing tomorrow afternoon, we can't waste it again, not with a tough East Coast stretch (New York, Toronto, Boston) coming up.
Back In Business
Well, after a few games against Baltimore (two losses and one win) in which the lineup didn't exactly produce a bevy of runs, the bats came through today, albeit in the most unlikely of places. Though Joe Mauer had a key hit towards the end of the game, it was the 8-2 slots in the order that did most (all!) of the damage…
Brendan Harris: 3-4, 2 R
Alexi Casilla: 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI
Denard Span: 3-4, 2 R, 3 RBI
Nick Punto: 2-3, 2 RBI
This is nice to see from this club, as the 2006 season proved what magic can happen when both the big boppers and scrappy "piranhas" alternate in picking each other up.
Of course, it helped today that Nick Blackburn stymied the O's bats for seven innings (what should happen when one faces that dead-end squad). After missing his previous scheduled start due to a family emergency, it was nice to see Blackie turn in a great effort after struggling so in the month of April.
In other news, the reason for the week-long break from this blog was due to the fact that our family just completely the vast majority of a move from Fergus Falls, Minnesota (the town I had grown up in since Kindergarten) to Forest Lake, MN, a town about 30 miles or so north of the Metro area. The negative: Uprooting an entire family (I'm currently living with my parents and multiple siblings). The positive: Closer to Target Field!!
Preview (21-11, 1st, 3.5 GA DET): Freddy Garcia (1-2, 5.28) vs. Kevin Slowey (4-2, 4.93). Off day Monday (I bet Mauer is relaxing at his cabin already!) before the rival ChiSox make their first trip to our new home turf. Let's home it is just as "accommodating" to them as the old place.
If your favorite team loses on Opening Day, like the Twins did last night, it is easy (in the excitement of the moment) to make snap judgements based on the rest of the season. Basically, no one wants to start out 0-1. However, that is the great thing about the sport of baseball. You're going to lose 60, win 60, and really it's what you do with the other 42 that make the difference.
Tonight, the Twins had a nice bounce-back from that first-game loss on Monday night.
On the pitching side, Nick Blackburn successfully navigated (despite a Torii Hunter bomb) a very solid Angels lineup and, while not pitching deep into the game, kept the Twins in it and gave them a chance to win.
The offense came from homers by Mauer, Morneau, and newcomer J.J. Hardy on a blustery night in LA. It was nice to see the lefty M&Ms tag a lefty pitcher for dingers.
This Angels club is still the class of the AL West (at least until they are seriously challenged), so getting out with a split would be a pretty successful series to open the year. That would require a win tomorrow night…
Preview (1-1, 3rd, 0.5 GB CWS & DET): Carl Pavano (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Ervin Santana (0-0, 0.00 ERA).
-Don't really like the new road uniforms. Makes the boys look too much like the Washington Nationals, if you ask me.
…One Joe Here To Say!
Well, Joe Mauer is going to have a lot more to smile about now…
…and so do we (the fans)! Eight more years (nine, counting 2010) of arguably the most talented player in the major leagues right now.
Although crossing the 20% (of the total payroll) threshold has been suicide for many teams (just remember A-Rod going to Texas), I think the Twins have a good enough organization and farm system to build around Mauer (or keep the talent around, as is the case now) for many years.
Giving 8 years and $184 million to a health-risk catcher may seem dicey, but Mauer is the exception to the rule. If he wanted to stay, and he did, then the right move was locking him up at any price.
It just boggles my mind that only 20 years ago, Kirby Puckett…
was the first guy in the majors to make $3 million per season. Crazy.
A Word Of Warning For Joe Mauer…
Just saw this story on Yahoo! News today…
First off, I hope that Chuckles gets his life put back together. It's always sad to me to see a former Minnesota athlete struggle like that, and my prayers go out to him.
That being said, his life story (at least as it relates to baseball) could be a sort of warning for Joe Mauer (who is perhaps considering a shot in the Big Apple himself, seeing as how he hasn't signed a contract yet):
In 1991, Knoblauch was the spark-plug that helped drive the team to their World Series title. He proceeded to become an elite lead-off hitter in the American League for the next 5-6 years, even on abysmal Twins teams. He was a doubles machine, and could steal bases with the best of them. However, he decided to opt for the big market of New York after "serving his time" here in Minny.
In the City that Never Sleeps, unfortunately Knobby didn't get much shut-eye either. Under that big-time pressure, he never re-captured those glory years with the Twins, and suddenly developed an inability to throw the baseball from his second base position over to first. The mental block got so bad that he eventually changed positions to left field, which led to this career path:
I don't think I have to tell you how that turned out.
So Joe, before you even think about how playing in NYC is all playoff games and confetti showers, consider the sad story of one Chuck Knoblauch, a living example of what pressure (even leading to his being named in the Mitchell Report a few years ago) can do to a person. The grass always seems greener (literally, in this case) on the other side, but only if you can enjoy the grazing. Think about it.

Written by Dylan Callaghan
Kurt Sutter, the creator of FX's Sons of Anarchy is that rare type of dude that can pull off an elaborate discussion of Swedish modernist August Strindberg while wearing a battered motorcycle jacket and gnawing on the stub of a cigar.
He's a tough guy with an M.F.A.
And while Sons of Anarchy doesn't touch on the literary, it does represent both his rebel nature and his keen understanding of the poetic power of the visceral and the brutal. The series, which stars Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, and Sutter's wife, Katey Sagal, focuses on the struggles of Jax Teller (Hunnam) to balance being a new father with his life in a motorcycle gang. Now in its third season and headed for a fourth, the show has been a hit for Sutter, who learned his trade working on Shawn Ryan's beloved cop drama The Shield.
Sutter spoke with the Writers Guild of America, West Web site about his academic background, his road mapped approach to scripting Sons, and his response to those fans that are up in arms with this season's emotional, distinctly non-formulaic direction.
You're now in season three with Sons. Has this show's arc has surprised you in any way?
I had a pretty clear sense of where the show is going from the jump. Obviously not episode to episode and A story to A story, but a pretty good sense of the mythology. A lot of writers don't work that way or might even find that inhibiting. I know when I was on The Shield, I think Shawn [Ryan] had an idea of what would ultimately happen to Vic, but on that show, he let things unfold organically through the seasons.
And you're not doing that with Sons?
It's not that I'm not doing that… I have a pretty good sense of how I want to end the show, and by the end of season one, I knew I wanted to shoot Belfast for season three because it would be important to the mythology of the show. It would have been too soon to do that in season two and too late in season four, but it was the right time in season three to expand the palate.
So I had a sense of how it was going to unravel, but of course, when you're in the process of it and the narrative kind of takes off in its own direction, what happens for me is that the emotionality of the story starts to inform the relationship and direction of the characters. Once that happens, then you really can't force that into a narrative plan; you have to let that guide the narrative and shape your stories around that.
So I got to reveal all the things I wanted to reveal by this stage in the show, but we definitely had some surprises in terms of the actions of the characters.
I know you a seven season vision for this show. What is the advantage of that roadmap approach for you?
Having those big mile markers gives me something to write to. I'll come into a season with a half dozen of those or so. In seasons two, for example, I knew the Gemma [Katey Sagal] rape was going to happen and roughly where I wanted to reveal that, so I could write to that throughout the season and lay in the emotionality to earn where I knew I ultimately wanted to go.
To me having a sense of those mile markers helps you do that so things don't happen by accident or…
You get lost?
You get lost, or even worse, you're writing one way and then suddenly you realize I've gotta be over there, writing this way. That's when shows go off course and characters take these severe right turns that feel out of context. That's a writer forcing the narrative where they want it to go.
There's some controversy among fans that are split over the way this season is going, with the more emotional, less action-packed narrative development. What are some of the important themes you're dealing with here and when are you planning to get back to the action?
Ultimately, controversy's good. It means your fans are paying attention. In my mind, shows tend to lose a step or falter in season three, when they sort of figure out what works. Season one is the experiment, then you do that again in season two – and we did that, season two was very formulaic for us – but then the trap becomes when you do that every season – who's the protagonist, what's the internal conflict, and that's when shows get stale.
I wanted to mix it up a little bit this season. I felt like we'd earned the trust of the fans to take the show in a different direction and dig deeper into the mythology. But yes, there's a lot people that like that clearly defined formula in terms of the internal conflict and a clearly defined bad guy: who do we hate this week and who are we setting on fire this week? Literally.
Can you allude to where the show is heading this season?
The show will always be the show. It's never going to become a cerebral show. There's action in every episode. Obviously, a missing baby tends to pull focus and you can't avoid the emotionality of that. I think that's what's fucking with people a little bit this year.
It's interesting because there's no gray area – either the fans love it more intensely and are saying it's the best season ever, and others who are a little bit lost with it. In my mind, it's the people who pay attention week after week, who are really invested in it, who are enjoying the season more. It's more the casual viewer who maybe isn't plugged into all the aspects of the characters who are struggling a little bit more. I don't say that as a bad thing…
You're going to get some angry letters, man.
Well, I'm a casual viewer of many TV shows, you know what I mean? But this season was definitely not an accident. I made this decision to elicit the response I'm getting, and the four episodes we do in Ireland are pretty kick-ass. People will dig 'em. And then we have two more episodes back home and the show lands on its feet, and we get a glimpse of what season four will be like.
You're kind of a tough guy and a man's man, but you studied Strindberg, O'Neill, Genet during your M.F.A. fellowship. What have you brought of such elite fine art playwrights to your work on The Shield and now Sons?
As pretentious as all that sounds…
And don't get me wrong, they were all actually very real, unpretentious playwrights…
Yeah, Genet spent half his life in jail, you know? But I was in grad school studying more performance than writing and was introduced to all those poetic realists. It was really the first time that I was pulled into dramatic literature that wasn't contemporary, that wasn't Mamet or Lanford Wilson or something like that. It was a stylized form of writing, but I really got pulled into it. I learned a lot about story structure from those guys. It was obviously very dark. Strindberg is just, you know, you want to hang yourself by the end of the play, but there was a beauty, a poetic quality. Not that Sons is poetic, but I do try to layer in those components in terms of the writing.
The question of whether or not to go the academic route in screenwriting is oft debated. Is that something you would recommend to aspiring screenwriters?
I do. I'm not saying that you have to have a degree in writing from USC or wherever. I learned a lot from the analysis, and the performance aspect really helped inform me as a writer. When I'm reading dialogue back to myself, I have a pretty good bullshit meter, and I can just feel if something feels like exposition or just doesn't feel real. I wouldn't have learned that skill [otherwise].
It's a good place to start, and then from there, move in the direction you're inspired. But at the same time, for me, I didn't really learn how to write until I wrote. Literally, I write four to six hours a day. And I learned to write TV by getting a big stack of scripts from my agent and studying them and then writing spec after spec after spec after spec. That's the only way you can learn how to write. You can't sit in a classroom and have a teacher analyze a script for four months and then say you want to be a writer.

As preppers we find ourselves doing a lot of rethinking and reprioritizing. We want to be whole individuals, ready for whatever comes our way. And that means living strategically. But how can you do that?
A Different Kind of Prepper Book
11 Steps to Living a Strategic Life isn't typical prepper material. It's a self help book for preppers. But, trust me, you won't be assaulted by motivational hype or psychobabble.
Oh, yes, the book touches on having the basics and doing your own gardening, but it comes at it from a different angle. It's not a "how-to" book. If you want to know how many drops of bleach to put in a gallon of water to make it clean, you'll have to look elsewhere.
George and Gaye recommend several other books and Web sites for further reading. They're not out to give you the ultimate preparedness book. Consider it as an important resource or gateway for further exploration.
The Survival Woman
She's from the Seattle area, but now lives on an island in Northwest Washington state. Bio info she sent me says, "After spending many years as an executive in the software industry, she started a specialized accounting practice offering contract CFO work to emerging high tech and service industries." She's obviously no newcomer to the business world. And she knows what it means to make significant lifestyle changes.
Like many, a few years ago Gaye saw the vulnerability of her own living situation and began preparing to be more self reliant. Storms or other events could bring normal life to a standstill.
Also like many, she lost retirement savings in 2009. But she knows what it means to keep moving foward.
It's that outlook which brought about the book with strategic steps for living a preparedness lifestyle.
The Steps
- Step 1: Be Healthy and Pursue Wellness
- Step 2: Achieve Economic Independence
- Step 3: Embrace Food Production
- Step 4: Reduce Energy Consumption
- Step 5: Learn to Barter
- Step 6: Use it up, Wear it Out, Make it Do!
- Step 7: Take Advantage of Nature's Bounty
- Step 8: Prepare for the Unexpected
- Step 9: Choose Simplicity
- Step 10: Enjoy the Good Life
- Step 11: The LOSTD
The Heart of the Matter
Regardless of where you are in your own life, you can take control over more areas of everyday living than you might realize. And taking greater responsibility for yourself and your loved ones embodies the essence of prepping.
A philosopher once stressed the importance of living the examined life. Self examination is what you'll have to do when it comes to matters like your health, where your money's being spent, and the food you can grow or store.
You have to understand your own situation and work within it if you're going to step forward. What are the risks you face? What can you do within your means to get prepared?
We didn't have time to cover all the questions I had for Gaye, but I wanted to be sure we talked about the last couple of steps in the book. They deal with setting aside time for yourself to clear your mind, gather your thoughts and make lists of how you'll get necessary things done. Personal rejuvination is a must. So is having a plan or being strategic. And they can go hand in hand.
It's vital for you and me to become comfortable with who we are and what we have. We need to find joy in the simple things. Embrace life for what it is. It's not about what we have.
If you and I can apply such a mindset, we'll be better people and better preppers, ready to adapt to whatever comes our way.
I encourage you to hear my interview with Gaye and read 11 Steps to Living a Strategic Life for more specifics. I can only give highlights here.
Hear my interview with Gaye Levy when you listen to DestinySurvival Radio for November 29, 2012. Find out how her site got its name and how she came to be known as the Survival Woman. Visit her site at http://www.backdoorsurvival.com. You may also want to check out www.strategic-living.net.
11 Steps to Living a Strategic Life is a Kindle e-book available on Amazon. It's a DestinySurvival Pick. You can order it by clicking on its title wherever you see it linked in this post.
By the way, if you don't have a Kindle and want to read this or other Kindle books for preppers, consider getting the free Kindle for PC.
What do you think? Do you have any strategies for living a better life as a prepper? Leave a comment below and share with others.

The venue was wonderful and the cast was very professional. The little girl who played Scout was really great as was Atticus. We also enjoyed the narration throughout the show. It was very entertaining. I was with 2 8th graders who had read the book for English this year. They enjoyed seeing the book come to life.

Guerrilla Games revealed two upcoming multiplayer expansion maps (via the PlayStation blog) that will be available for free: The Hangar and The Cruiser.
The former is located in the hangar bay of one of Helghan's mining spires, with plenty of space intended for long-range combat. The latter places players inside a decommissioned ISA cruiser, composed of "tight, claustrophobic corridors and interconnected compartments," focusing on close and mid-ranged encounters. Both maps are inspired by "key locations" from Shadow Fall's campaign.
No word yet as to when the maps will be available.
Guerrilla also announced that they're working on the first DLC for Killzone: Shadow Fall and promised to reveal more information in the near future.

This last winter, a most beautiful deer would seem to appear out of nowhere, pause, look at me with eyes that seemed to be trying to communicate, and then she would gracefully turn around, and walk away. She had a special style, different from any deer I had ever seen before; she was stunning, and she seemed to be magical. The days that she would appear brought a special something to the day. She was a princess among the trees and stars, and the lucky humans which she favored with her presence, knew there was something spiritual, about Princess the Deer.
For those of us who are fortunate to have a deer like Princess enter our life, there is meaning. The deer is linked to the arts; a deer will cast a spell on you and turn you into a poet, or a musician.
If every time you see a deer, and you are transfixed by their mere presence, that means there is an inner deer in you. The inner deer within you is full of love, peace, beauty, swiftness, creativity, and spirituality.
Why is this important to your own life?
If you can be spell bound for a few minutes silently watching a deer, you instinctively know that deep within you is magic too. Be still and listen to yourself. Find the limitless treasure within you. Be generous, take a moment, as the deer does and, just look at another human with kindness and a simple smile. Then with a nod of your head, turn and walk away. Leave a trail happiness and good fortune to all who cross your path.
Pause and watch the animal world to find the lessons they have to share with you about living in the moment.
Be kind to animals, be kind to yourself, and be kind to each other. Live the kind of life that brings something special to the day. Maybe someone will say you are a prince or a princess as you turn and walk gently away in harmony with the world.

Diamond Awards
Planning a wedding isn't easy; we get that. And with the wealth of talent and options available in the Twin Cities, choosing a vendor can be downright daunting. That's where the Diamond Awards come in. We wanted to offer brides a simple, credible guide to the best of the best, so we developed a new award to recognize local bridal excellence. Vendors (and brides) from around the metro area were invited to enter. Then our panel of judges—experts selected from our national connections in the bridal industry—culled through stacks of entries and chose the winners. But we didn't stop there. We also wanted to hear from you, so we posted the judges' top choices online and asked you to vote. Now, after months of anticipation, the wait is over. Meet our winners.

When dealing with small arrays and matrices, one method of exposing parallelism on the GPU is to execute the same cuBLAS call on multiple independent systems simultaneously. While you can do this manually by calling multiple cuBLAS kernels across multiple CUDA streams, batched cuBLAS routines enable such parallelism automatically for certain operations (GEMM, GETRF, GETRI, and TRSM). In this post I'll show you how to leverage these batched routines from CUDA Fortran.
The C interface batched cuBLAS functions use an array of pointers as one of their arguments, where each pointer in the array points to an independent matrix. This poses a problem for Fortran, which does not allow arrays of pointers. To accommodate this argument, we can make use of the data types declared in the ISO_C_BINDING module, in particular the
c_devptr type. Let's illustrate this with a code that calls the batched SGETRF cuBLAS routine.
Writing Interfaces to Batched cuBLAS Routines
At the time of writing this post, the batched cuBLAS routines are not in the CUDA Fortran
cublas module, so we first need to define the interface to the
cublasSgetrfBatched() call:
interface integer(c_int) function & cublasSgetrfBatched(h,n,Aarray,lda,ipvt,info,batchSize) & bind(c,name='cublasSgetrfBatched') use iso_c_binding use cublas type(cublasHandle), value :: h integer(c_int), value :: n type(c_devptr), device :: Aarray(*) integer(c_int), value :: lda integer(c_int), device :: ipvt(*) integer(c_int), device :: info(*) integer(c_int), value :: batchSize end function cublasSgetrfBatched end interface
The arguments of
cublasSgetrfBatched() are: Continue reading

Every year, beer drinkers get in line outside Russian River Brewing Company for Pliny the Younger. The lines continue for 2 weeks and are a constant topic of conversation for locals. The question that always follows is "Is it worth it?" This is a difficult question to answer unless, of course, you've actually experienced a Pliny the Younger release day. Here's a look at the release day and also on the two week stretch during which Pliny the Younger is available to patrons of the Downtown Santa Rosa pub.
Pliny the Younger is released on the first Friday of February every year, but the event has now officially started on Thursday Night. In years past the first person in line had stories of waking up in the wee hours of the morning, a long car ride would follow, capped by a pre-dawn arrival at the brewery. This year, such lackadaisical planning would get you into the pub during the first wave of entries, but the front of line required some thing more. This year's lucky beer drinkers arrived at the pub Thursday Night and, while the pub was still open for the evening, set down their chairs and began waiting. It took the insistence of pub staff for them to at least come inside and enjoy themselves before a long night on 4th Street.
Come dawn, the line for Pliny the Younger stretched to the corner. Individuals who had arrived any later than 5 am would not be getting into the pub until after noon at the earliest. Still, the line grew. At the time of the doors opening inside the pub, the line had stretched down 4th Street, around the corner onto D Street and again around the corner onto 5th Street.
Inside, the atmosphere is one of excitement and a touch of chaos. Surprisingly, talking to staff, the Pliny the Younger crowds, while constant and frenzied, can be a bit easier to handle than some weekends at the popular brewery. Staff anticipates the crowds and with a better handle on crowd control, not to mention a slightly limited menu for the kitchen, the regular presence of a full house becomes more manageable.
I am sure many are wondering about Pliny the Younger the beer. Pliny the Younger pours as you would expect a hoppy IPA to pour, golden amber with a thin white head. The aroma of hops jumps from the beer and hits the palate head on. Where Pliny the Younger climbs to the top of many beer drinker's "best of" lists is in the impression. As alcohol and hop additions increase, beer can become more aggressive, but Pliny the Younger maintains a very easy-to-drink profile, sometimes tasting and drinking more like a pale ale than a Triple IPA. Tropical fruit flavors come out of the hops and just a touch of resinous pine sap bitterness provide a sharp finish.
Again, the question is asked, is the beer worth the wait? I think this question misses the point in many ways. We've seen American consumers wait for a variety of items, many of which have longer lifespans than 2-weeks. Concert tickets, cell phones, holidays shopping deals have all inspired lines of dedicated consumers. Still, the culmination of the wait is a glass of beer you will not be able to take home, but the event itself is one that will stay with you forever.
Inside the pub, everyone is excited about Pliny the Younger. Everyone is excited about beer. At the crowded bar, strangers become instant friends over a shared experience. Even if entering the pub by yourself, striking up a conversation, joining in at pub games, the common interests make for a welcoming experience. This is where the value can come from for those who wait in line, not to mention the actual wait, spending time with friends and passing the time while the anticipation builds.
Over the following 13 days, the line at the pub never fully went away. The first Saturday saw the longest line with the end of the line coming back around the block to 4th Street. Girl Scout troops set up across the street at Barnes an Noble and worked the line selling cookies on weekends. Rumor has it that by the final Thursday, lines did begin to disappear with some reporting a 10 minute wait to enter the pub in the early afternoon.
Still, Pliny the Younger is more than just a boon to the downtown area. Occidental's Barley and Hops as well as Santa Rosa's Willie Bird's tapped their own kegs of Pliny the Younger to staggering crowds that thirstily drank all the coveted beer in record times.
And so another year of Pliny the Younger comes to an end. Did you get a chance to taste it? Did you visit the pub or other establishments or festivals around the Bay Area?

After three fiery accidents involving trains carrying crude oil out of North Dakota's Bakken Shale, regulators and industry officials are trying to figure out why the oil is exploding.
Crude is flammable, but before being refined into products such as gasoline it is rarely implicated in explosions.
Yet earlier this week, when a BNSF Railway Co. train hauling 104 tank cars filled with Bakken crude struck another train, some of the cars exploded one after the other, releasing fireballs that blazed several stories above the frozen prairie.
"Crude oil doesn't explode like that," said Matthew Goitia, chief executive of Peaker Energy Group LLC, a Houston company that is developing crude-by-rail terminals.
The blast in Casselton, N.D., 25 miles west of Fargo, is just the latest explosion involving crude pumped out of the Bakken. Federal investigators and railroad and energy-company officials are probing whether additives to the oil or mislabeling of the liquid contributed to the series of explosions.

Fret wizard, Mike Orlando took time out of his Valentine's Day festivities to chat with The Examiner and Metal Nation Radio about Adrenaline Mob's new sophomore album, "Men of Honor". The band has been streaming tracks from the record all winter, and on February 18, the album finally hit stores and digital outlets.
"Men of Honor" marks the first recordings with new drummer, A.J. Pero, of Twisted Sister fame, who simply pummelled the kit. Original drummer, Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Flying Colors, The Winery Dogs) left the band last spring due to tour scheduling conflicts and his varied other projects. Pero also plays drums in Orlando's other band, Tred. During our interview, Orlando talked about bringing Pero on board. He shared that A.J. was initially brought in only to play drums on a bonus track that is not on the initial album release. He said it was clear immediately that A.J. was the guy for Adrenaline Mob.
Orlando hopes that Tred will be able to release its debut effort sometime late this year. Aside from Pero and Orlando, the legendary Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy, Dio, Quiet Riot) will play bass, and Tim "Ripper" Owens is now able to commit to the band. According to Mike, Ripper has laid vocals on a number of tracks so far, and Orlando admits to being blown away.
You can listen to the full interview above (just push play button) as Mike shares a few of his favorite guitar riffs, and how easily the writing process works between he and vocalist, Russell Allen, and what bassist John Moyer does on this record that added to his performance.

The 20th Annual Palm Springs International ShortFest and Short Film Market will begin tomorrow, June 17, 2014, in Palm Springs, Calif. The festival will showcase 330 short films, which will include 22 U.S. premieres, 71 North American premieres and 84 world premieres. The thematically programed shorts will include star-studded casts and award-winning films from 54 countries from around the world.
"This 20th anniversary edition of Palm Springs ShortFest is the year of 'more,'" said Festival Director Kathleen McInnis. "This year we've had more films submitted from more countries than ever before. We saw stronger work from all our submissions, as well as a shift in storytelling—away from the angst-ridden drama of the past few years, and more towards hopefulness and sheer fun. There are more high profile actors lending their weight to the short films in our program, which speaks directly to both the quality of filmmaker and filmmaking. And we have more premieres, especially World and North American, than in years past—a direct result, I think, of the active, year-round outreach we do on the festival circuit. All in all, it's an extraordinary year in which to celebrate our 20th birthday!"
Many of us know so little about short films, yet they are the important first step of new filmmakers from around the globe to tell their stories and showcase their visions. For most of us, what we know of short films, is the few short film winners at the Academy Awards each year. ShortFest allows fans to gather once a year and bask in the glory of the short film. ShortFest winners (in four categories) will automatically become eligible for consideration by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) for a possible Academy Award nomination.
The selection of films is as varied as the stories of the human condition. The Polish film "Joanna," directed by Aneta Kopacz will be making its North American debut and delicately tells the story of a terminally ill mother and wife during her last few days with her family. This understated, yet powerful short documentary is punctuated with the things that are left unsaid.
The star-studded list of directors include, Sarah Paulson, Natalie Dormer, Rufus Sewell, Academy Award nominated actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rose McGowan, Edoardo Ponti, Jenna Fischer, Bebe Neuwirth and Taylor Kitsch.
The festival always offers up a varied selection of forums and panels. This year, ShortFest will be featuring a master class featuring director Allison Anders ("Gas, Food Lodging," "Grace of My Heart") and her daughter musician/musical supervisor Tiffany Anders ("Smashed," "Grace of My Heart") and they discuss using music in film.
Other forums and panels that will be featured are a panel exploring reality as entertainment, a panel on casting, a master class lecture on digital media by Ted Hope (Fandor CEO), a panel on publicity and many more.
The Palm Springs International ShortFest will award $115,000 in prizes, which will include $21,000 in cash awards. Panavision will be honoring one award winner with a camera packaged valued at $60,000. Winners of ShortFest will be announce on Sunday, June 22 at the Closing Night screening and reception.
Can't come to ShortFest? Well now, in its fourth year, select films from the festival will be available on the festival's web page, starting June 10 and will be available to watch and vote on through June 21. Festival website is at: www.psfilmfest.org/shortfest
ShortFest runs from June 17 - June 22.

spoiler:This is the fastest way I have found so far: After Telos, travel to Dantooine. The Visas/Nihilis cutscene should trigger. Speak to Administer Adare, get permission to visit the enclave. enter the Enclave sublevel, and take the corridor to the left, killing any Laigraths in view. you will come to a door to a small room on the left, that if you try to unlock will trigger a conversation with the Scavenger trapped inside, assure him the Laigraths are dead and he will unlock himself from the room. query him on what he has found, and offer to buy it and do so. You will get a one part of the saber you need, and two random crystals. Now, head immediately back to the Ebon Hawk, and your conflict with Visas will be triggered, and when you defeat her, you will get the last saber piece, all that remains is talking to Bao Dur, and your saber is complete. As I said this is the fastest method I have found so far, and triggers as little plot advancement and missions as possible. Good luck!
spoiler:, rescue the scavenger trapped, his name is Joran. Find the dead scavenger's will. Alter the will. Take the will the milita leader. Talk to Bao-Dur before you board the Ebon hawk. You now have your light saber. Go beat the crap outta Visas. Now you have two lightsabers. Enjoy.
spoiler:When recruiting people for the militia, talk to the Rodian salesperson. He says he will join but needs to sell some stuff first. He just so happens to want to unload so permacrete explosives.

College Hockey:2003-04 Miami Season Preview
"It's a competitive league," says Miami head coach Enrico Blasi. "You have to be consistent on a daily basis. You can't get too high, and you can't get too low. You could throw all the teams up in the air and you never know who is going to finish first or 12th and that's a tribute to all the guys here and the teams they produce on a yearly basis."
It's also an eloquent way of saying absolutely nothing.
The RedHawks are one of the slipperiest teams in the league, difficult to define and nearly impossible to predict. Last year, Miami came out flying with a dozen wins in the first two months, games in which the RedHawks outscored opponents 70-25.
But back-to-back road losses against permanent clustermate Ohio State at the start of December derailed the 'Hawks and what was once a promising season ended with a first-round, home-ice, best-of-three disappointment, as Notre Dame knocked off Miami in the CCHA playoffs.
You can't get too high. You can't get too low.
Miami returns a good squad, led by its captain, senior forward Derek Edwardson, who spent the 2002-03 season benched with a knee injury. Add to the mix Greg Hogeboom, explosive on the power play, Mike Kompon, as good a forward as any in the league, and defensive standout Andy Greene, and there is enough talent to turn a few heads.
Gone is David Burleigh, an inconsistent but sometimes brilliant netminder. Two newcomers, Brandon Crawford-West and Steve Hartley, will likely vie for the starting position in net, in spite of the presence of senior Nick Petraglia. Early scouting gives Hartley the job.
"We return all of our defensemen from a year ago, which is a good thing for us because we have three young goalies that are unproven," says Blasi. "We are excited about the year and we're ready to get going."
Miami starts its season by defending its title in the second annual Lefty McFadden Tournament in Dayton, Ohio. Last year, Miami got past Air Force and Bowling Green to win; this season, the RedHawks face St. Lawrence the first night and either Ohio State or Denver the second, stiffer competition that should give an early sign or two about the chances of this Miami squad.
The RedHawks face a tough schedule, paired as they are with Ohio State in that Big Ten cluster that features Michigan and Michigan State as well. That alone may be the undoing of Miami this season. Of course, each team in that cluster may take a hit simply because of the competition.
The Hook
Watching the RedHawks is like watching reality television — entertaining, unpredictable, and guaranteed to provide a little drama.
The Line
Mike Kompon, Greg Hogeboom, Todd Grant. Put these three together on the ice — as a fixed line or on special teams — and watch the highs get higher.
The Sinker
Will the real Miami RedHawks please stand up? Just exactly where is the problem here? Is it player chemistry? Team unity? Leadership? Coaching?
For the past four seasons, the RedHawks have bowed out of the CCHA playoffs during the first round, twice losing best-of-three series on their own turf in Goggin Arena. Miami hasn't made an appearance in Detroit since the 1996-97 season, the year Miami challenged Michigan for the regular-season title, in the days of Mark Mazzoleni.
Blasi, now in his fifth season, fields a team this year completely of his own making. No matter how noncommittal Miami's head coach is when discussing his team, the 2003-04 RedHawk record will speak volumes.

Natural gas safety: Call 811 before you dig
Always call 811 at least two working days before starting any project that involves digging to have underground utility lines located and marked for free.
Gas pipeline locations
PG&E operates natural gas distribution and transmission pipelines across California. Our distribution pipelines are located throughout neighborhoods and connect to homes and businesses.
Our transmission pipelines carry gas from one part of the state to another and connect to our distribution system. We offer a comprehensive online map showing our transmission pipelines at pge.com/pipelinelocations. You can view any location in our service area—your home, place of work or any other areas of interest—to see if transmission pipelines run nearby.
Also, the National Pipeline Mapping System, www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov, shows the location of all transmission pipelines in the United States, viewable by county, zip code or street address.
Spot the signs of trouble
PG&E regularly inspects all of our pipelines to check for possible leaks or other signs of damage. As an additional safety precaution, we also add a sulfur-like odor to natural gas. If you smell this distinctive "rotten egg" odor, move to a safe location and immediately call 911 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.
But don't rely on your nose alone. Other signs of a possible gas leak can include:
In case of emergency
You can help prevent a natural gas pipeline fire. If you suspect a gas leak, leave the area immediately and move upwind, to a safe place. Then call 911 to notify local police and fire and contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.
Warn others nearby to stay away from the area. Until you are a safe distance away, do not light a match or operate any device that might create a spark, including electric switches, doorbells, radios, televisions, cell phones and garage door openers.
Before you dig, know what's below
Damage from excavation is a common cause of pipeline accidents. Even if you are planting a new bush or digging a fence post in your own yard, you must always call 811 Underground Service Alert (USA) at least two working days before you dig. USA is a free service that will notify underground utility operators in the area of your planned work. PG&E will then locate and mark our underground gas and electric facilities.
Always be aware of pipeline markers. Markers include an emergency number and indicate the need for extra care around a high-volume transmission line. These markers specify the approximate location, but not all pipelines follow a straight path between markers. If you or your contractor accidently digs into a gas pipeline, do not attempt to stop the flowing gas or extinguish any fire.
Leave the area immediately and move to a safe location. Then call 911 to notify local police and fire and contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.
Safety is PG&E's highest responsibility
We monitor our gas pipeline operations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we conduct regular inspections and surveys on pipelines.
Find out more about our comprehensive safety and monitoring program visit pge.com/safety.

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

In an exclusive Partners in Health and Biz radio show interview, Registered Nurse and author Bridget Bethany, spoke about the importance of celebrating nurses during National Nurses Week, May 6 -12, with the release of her new book "Spiritual Vitamins - The Heart & Soul of Today's Nurse: Humor and Inspiration for a Better Day."
"So it's a national holiday for nurses that week," Bethany explained. "Nurses get to bask in the glory of their organization or institution recognizing them for all their work."
For example, hospitals, health and medical facilities shower nurses with gifts, food and other favors.
"As a nurse advocate for the well being of the nurses, I decided, 'Let me use this week to get my book out there,' " she said.
Bethany's book was featured his week at the Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Store in Silver Spring, MD., where she met shoppers and signed her new book.
In addition, some of the ways we can show appreciation to the nurses we admire and honor them during this week could be as simple as taking a nurse to lunch, buying several nurses thank you cards, or writing an uplifting, inspirational poem and reading it in church or at a community event.
On a larger scale, you could consider group activities such as starting a non-profit charity in honor of a nurse you respect, or one who has passed on, hosting a cook-out or party at your home or a community center for 5- 10 nurses that you admire.
If you are an elementary school teacher you could have the children in your classroom honor nurses by drawing pictures of nurses helping their patients and deliver the pictures to a specific hospital ward.
The nursing profession has been supported by the American Nurse's Association (ANA) since 1896 and encourages National Nurses Week recognition programs through the state and district nurses associations, other specialty nursing organizations, educational facilities, and independent health care companies and institutions.
"Spiritual Vitamins" may be purchased through Amazon.com, and could be given as a gift of honor.

The fact is, DirectTV will not be carrying local channels in HD for quite some time, so you will have to settle for Monday Night Football or the other prime time channels in Standard Definition. Unless........you have local stations in your area that are broadcasting in high def. To find out plug you address into Antennaweb.org the stations with the * next to them are digital stations and they may broadcast in high definition. Check their website or give them a call for details. Antennaweb will also provide you with details of what antenna you will need based on your location and signal strength. If you live in a major city you may be able to get away with a Multi-directional antenna but most of you, including me will need a directional antenna. Here is my current plan
Phase I: Includes antenna, basic mounting and cabling$63 - Antenna - 4228A Channel Master 8-Bay UHF Antenna$30 - Cable RG 6 50ft$20 - Chimney Mount$15 - 10ft Antenna mast$5 - 40ft Grounding Wire$5 - Grounding Block

As I understand it, in the US, usually you can not copyright individual facts, but you can copyright a database of facts if the database has some degree of creativity. (Ref)
It is likely that trademarks will cover many of the domain names that are part of a PTR record.

A January 15, 2014 story in Space.com reports that scientists are looking at a main belt asteroid named Psyche as a candidate for NASA's next Discovery class mission. Psyche is a 155 mile wide nickel iron asteroid, thought to have had its rocky crust blown away in an ancient collision. A mission to Psyche would likely be similar to the Dawn probe that recently explored Vesta and is currently en route to Ceres, the largest asteroid in the main belt. Dawn is propelled by an electric ion engine that slowly accelerates and decelerates the probe, allowing for long term operations.
A Discovery mission to Psyche would be capped at $425 million in 2010 dollars. The next round of Discovery missions is scheduled to be down selected in 2015.
To note the commercial importance of Psyche, Reuters recently noted that the asteroid has 17 million billion tons of nickel iron, enough to satisfy the world's needs for millions of years. It is currently unknown what other metals, such as platinum, that the asteroid might have. Psyche would therefore be a prime target for future asteroid miners once such operations begin in the main belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter perhaps sometime later this century.

Sean Wilkinson Claims First Head Coaching Win As Princeton Sweeps Williams
Princeton head coach Sean Wilkinson picked up his first career victory as head coach Sunday afternoon when the Princeton men's squash team swept Williams 9-0 at the Jadwin Squash Courts.
The Tigers made quick work in their 2013-14 home debut, winning all 27 individual games in the 9-0 victory. The opening shift included wins by senior tri-captains Dylan Ward (No. 2) and Ash Egan (No. 8), while the second shift saw two-time All-America Tyler Osborne post a 3-0 win at the No. 1 position.
Sunday also marked the collegiate debut for Manik Datta, a freshman who recorded a 3-0 win over John Shuck at the No. 9 spot.
Princeton will be off for Thanksgiving week, and will return to the court Dec. 4 at Drexel, where Wilkinson served as assistant coach last year.
