Hundreds rescued from floodwaters in Alabama, Florida
EMA: More than 240 homes hit by storms in Alabama

PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. | People were plucked off rooftops or climbed into their attics to get away from fast-rising waters when nearly 2 feet of rain fell on the Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast in the span of about 24 hours, the latest bout of severe weather that began with tornadoes in the Midwest.
EMA: More than 240 homes hit by storms in Alabama
CLANTON | Emergency managers say at least 240 homes were damaged or destroyed by the tornadoes and strong storms that swept through Alabama.
The latest update from the Alabama Emergency Management Agency says damage is being reported in 31 of Alabama's 67 counties. Three people died.
The state says about 244 residences were hit, but the number will rise because reports are still coming in. No numbers are in yet for hard-hit Limestone County, for example.
The greatest reported concentration of destruction the Smith Institute community of Etowah County, where between 100 and 150 homes were damaged or destroyed. Another 90 homes were hit in Blount County.
The state says more than 33,000 electrical homes and businesses are without electrical service, down from a peak of more than 97,000.
-- The Associated Press
On Wednesday, roads were chewed up into pieces or wiped out entirely and neighborhoods were inundated, making rescues difficult for hundreds of people who called for help when they were caught off guard by the single rainiest day ever recorded in Pensacola.
Boats and Humvees zigzagged through the flooded streets to help stranded residents. A car and truck plummeted 25 feet when portions of a scenic highway collapsed, and one Florida woman died when she drove her car into high water, officials said.
Near the Alabama-Florida line, water started creeping into Brandi McCoon's mobile home, so her fiance, Jonathan Brown, wrapped up her nearly 2-year-old son Noah in a blanket and they swam in neck-deep water to their car about 50 feet away.
Then, the car was flooded.
"Every which way we turned, there was a big ol' pile of water," she said.
Brown called 911 and eventually a military vehicle picked them up and took them to a shelter.
Kyle Schmitz was at his Pensacola home with his 18-month-old son Oliver on Tuesday night when heavy rain dropped during a 45-minute span. He gathered up his son, his computer and important papers and left.
"I opened the garage and the water immediately flowed in like a wave," he said. "The water was coming up to just below the hood of my truck and I just gassed it."
Schmitz and his son also made it out safely.
In Alabama, Capt. David Spies of Fish River/Marlow Fire and Rescue said he was part of a team who found two women and a young boy trapped in the attic of a modular home.
Spies said they received the first call of help before midnight Tuesday but they couldn't find the group until about 8 a.m. Wednesday. By then, the water was 2 feet below the roof. A firefighter used an axe to punch a hole through the roof and free them.
"They were very scared, they were very upset. I would've been, too," Spies said.
There were at least 30 rescues in the Mobile area of Alabama. Florida appeared to be the hardest hit. Gov. Rick Scott said officials there received about 300 calls from stranded residents.
At the Pensacola airport, 15.55 inches of rain fell on Tuesday before midnight — setting a record for the rainiest single day in the city, according to data since 1880. By comparison, the airport in drought-stricken Los Angeles has recorded 15.9 inches of rain — since Jan. 1, 2012.
Pensacola and nearby Mobile are two of the rainiest cities in the U.S., averaging more than five feet of rain in a year, according to the National Climatic Data Center.
The National Weather Service said forecasters issued flash flood warnings as early as Friday, yet many people were still caught unaware.
Elizabeth Peaden was at her weekly Bunco game Tuesday night and it wasn't raining on her way there. On her way home, she drove her van through a flooded intersection and got stuck.
"I was scared out of my wits. Water started coming in and I wasn't sure what to do," she said.
Peaden waded her way to a nearby American Legion post where she and about 20 other stranded travelers spent the night sleeping on tables or the floor.
The widespread flooding was the latest wallop from a violent storm system that began in Arkansas and Oklahoma and worked its way South, killing 37 people along the way, including a 67-year-old driver in Florida.
Pensacola Police Chief Chip Simmons said two vehicles fell 25 feet when portions of a scenic highway collapsed. The truck driver was fine, but a woman in a car needed help getting out. Neither had serious injuries, Simmons said.
In Gulf Shores, Ala., where nearly 21 inches of rain fell over a day's time, the scene resembled the aftermath of a hurricane. At the Sportsman Marina in Orange Beach, employee J.J. Andrews couldn't believe what she saw out the window.
"We've got water up in our parking lots," she said. "Our docks are under water. It's worse than during Hurricane Ivan, is what they're saying. It's crazy."
The 2004 hurricane dumped 3 to 7 inches of rain along the Florida Panhandle.
By Wednesday afternoon, water had started to recede while the storm marched its way up the East Coast, bringing warnings of more tornadoes and flash flooding. Emergency officials in Maryland said crews rescued motorists stranded in high water and a block-long section of street collapsed, sending cars sliding down a steep embankment onto railroad tracks.
Over the past four days, the system created 65 tornadoes and slammed Arkansas' northern Little Rock suburbs and the Mississippi cities of Louisville and Tupelo. Arkansas had 15 deaths; Mississippi had 12.
Authorities in Louisville searched for a missing 8-year-old boy after a large tornado killed his parents and destroyed their home.
On Wednesday, Louisville officials said they were shifting priorities from response to cleanup.
"Today is the day we start putting Louisville back together," said Buddy King, county emergency management director.

I think that describing all of the creations doesn't make sense, so I will show you only my best (In my opinion) MOCs:
My latest creation - CAT 963D crawler loader. Very simple construction, just 4 PF M motors, 2 IR receivers, rechargeable battery box, some gears and stuff. But I really like this model, it works smoothly and it's a big fun playing with it.
(Image is a link to the gallery)
Another model, Liebherr HS-855 dragline excavator. Big model, difficult to build. But it worked quite good. It was hard to learn how to dig with it :) It had 7 motors inside, 2 battery boxes and 3 IR receivers. Only cabin lifting wasn't remote controlled.
(Image is a link to the gallery)
Another yellow machine :) Liebherr LTM 1050 mobile crane. My favourite one. The mechanics of the model were very complicated, but as I remember, everything worked quite good. 7 PF motors, 3 IR receivers, battery box, some pneumatic stuff.
(Image is a link to the gallery)
In my gallery there are more models, but describing all of them here doesn't make sense.

As usual, a huge thank-you to onlyonechoice for the beta :) She forces me use more imagery even though my minimalist tendencies make me heartily resist. I tried, I really did.

"Beyond the Hills" is an arthouse film from Romania, yet, in its slow, lurching progress toward a tragic exorcism, it is a stylistic nephew of America's "The Exorcist." William Friedkin's classic adaptation of a William Peter Blatty novel was pitched as popcorn entertainment for nervous Christians, whereas director Cristian Mungiu's embellishment of a true story (from the "non-fiction novels" by Tatiana Niculescu Bran) ultimately laments superstition, ignorance and indifference.
As with the "The Exorcist"'s implicit praise of faith versus a monstrously rational medical establishment, "Beyond the Hills" bursts to life when discreetly expressing a passion for… passion. Even in scenes that aren't set in blinding snow drifts, Mungiu's frame gives off a bitter chill to make your teeth chatter, all the better to offset characters whose sense of devotion burns so fiercely as to prove fatal.
Somewhere in rural Romania, young Alina (Cristina Flutur) visits her old boarding school friend Voichita (Cosmina Stratan) at the Orthodox convent where the latter has become a devout Christian. They're in their late teens now, and it's evident in their private moments together that they once enjoyed an intimate (and likely carnal) relationship, which Voichita now treats as a sin to be confessed and suppressed. Alina wants Voichita to run away from the convent with her, but Voichita won't budge. She wants Alina to do as she herself has done, redirect her passion for another person over to Christ.
It's the crackerjack stuff of a good melodrama or exploitation flick, but Mungiu, like many a priestly European auteur, isn't about to send his characters careening from one juicy plot point to another. The story proceeds as if captured, day by day, by some angelic documentary crew.
While Voichita attempts to coax Alina into the church and Alina uses every emotional weapon at her disposal (including her statuesque bare torso) to jab at her friend's faith, the camera frames everything in the context of communal routines and rituals. The business of a farm-based church is near-constant work. The Priest (Valeriu Andriuta) leads with a sense of compassionate pragmatism but also a strictly dogmatic interpretation of scripture. He can view Alina's escalating attacks on the church only as Satan lashing out at the faithful.
It's easy to forget that this story is set in the 21st Century, but there are enough run-ins with relatively down-to-earth locals to provide telling contrast. One particularly outraged emergency room doctor who encounters the church members goes on a tirade against blind dogma that I suspect speaks for Mungiu — although the latter's "voice" trembles less with rage than with pained empathy.
As with "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days," Mungiu's other tale of a female friendship taken to the limits by a punishing set of circumstances, this film's biggest secret is its beauty. Cinematographer Oleg Mutu understands something about light that filmmakers, whether going for ugly "miserablism" or commercial sheen, rarely exploit: Winter light is gorgeous. An overcast sky and blankets of snow cast faces in an even brilliance that suits Mungiu's even-handed purposes. It's the nature of events that lends them a feeling of horrifying inevitability, but to the eye, Mutu's imagery celebrates the vibrant disorder and discord that the rituals of Voichita's sect mean to deny with ideological certainty. In this democratic light, there is something true and spiritual about both Alina's love for Voichita and Alina's commitment to Jesus — with each seeing only mad delusion in the other. And each refusing to "give up" on the other.
While the pressure comes down on Alina physically, it is Cosmina Stratan's performance as Voichita, often the focal point of crowded compositions in her dark clothing, hands slack at her sides or clenched in prayer, that conveys downright medieval suffering most piercingly. She's virtually held in stasis by two powerful, opposing magnets, her love for Alina and her faith.
The exorcism itself is pure screwball tragedy. The priest and his flock of weeping nuns manage it about as smoothly as an army private attempting a battlefield amputation. Alina, bound and tortured by well-meaning people, confronts her fate like Maria Falconetti's Joan of Arc: At one point, a look of religious ecstasy passes over her face that suggests the kind of church Peter Gabriel evoked in a top 40 pop song. Religion is where you find it.

Saxon then entered the sale as a "Short Sale" and began proceeding with legal fees for a foreclosure. My lawyers constantly contacted Saxon and their lawyers in Virginia explaining that it was a full sale and they would be easily paid off-they persisted with foreclosure. Finally my lawyer stopped the foreclosure, but I was stuck with $3,500 in legal bills from Saxon, due to their "error" in entering the sale. I do not know how many times I called them, my lawyer called them-they would not change it. I kept getting the runaround. Then when it came to closing, they kept on delaying providing a payoff-which caused they buyer's loan to expire, and they had to reapply. This cost me accelllerated interest and fees.
It was a nightmare. I have consulted with my c.p.a. and lawyer and they feel
that I have been abused by this ruthless lender. I am in the process of taking legal action, THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE ME OUT THERE!!!! It has been suggested by my c.p.a. that the more people involved , the stronger, the chance of getting back over $35,000.00plus that this predator got away with. I started off with a
$1,200.00 a month loan that ended up being $2,200.00 a month in 7 years!!!
I could write a 1,000 page horror story about this. The short of it, they need to be stopped!!!! I had to give up my dream of owning a home and now am pretty much on the street. I look forward in hearing from people in Va or the rest of the United States that has been a victim of this dream stealing, money draining,killer vampire of a company-Saxon

Improving Public Health for the Poor
Microfinance may offer a window on new methods for widening access to healthcare for the poor, says Harvard Business School's Michael Chu. He and colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health have embarked on a new project to serve this critical sector. Bringing together public healthcare and market forces "could have huge impact," he says. Key concepts include: Poverty is defined by three billion people in the world living on less than $2 a day. Public health as a private good should be complementary to public health as a public good, not in opposition to it. Project Antares wants to take high-impact initiatives and deliver them through commercial means. Part of its measure of success is whether a higher percentage of the population is helped than would be otherwise. Poverty cannot be tamed with a single solution. It needs an arsenal comprising education, healthcare, housing, access to basic services, and access to capital. Closed for comment; 0 Comment(s) posted.

Its been along time since I've been on this website. I guess my reason was that my interest in games was slowly demishing, were I lost track of who made what, which console has the most rpg's, and whats the hottest game that just came out. Well, all-of-that is going to change, I need to go back to my roots, and get back in the gaming world. Problem is that I'm so far behind. I don't know were to start from. I know I missed alot of good titles since 2006.
I need to somehow find out what system I should get (PS3 or X-BOX 360) and what good titles did I missed for the DS and PSP.

I kind of took that as an extension of their character. Like, they base their structure on who can eat the most, so naturally, some of them will gorge themselves, just to try to "win" against other hill giants. Imagine a little kid at dinner who stuffs his mouth so full he can barely breath just to impress his parents. These giants can eat a pig in one bite, and it's a perfect symbol of both their stupidity and their gluttony. Hill giants are dumb. That's kind of their thing.
It could also have been, as you suggested, hyperbole. *shrug*My Obsidian Portal Sites: Heroes of Westfall; Zeitgeist Chronicles

Had to attach the image, but it seems to be pretty good proof. I think this giant could get the pig in his mouth, if he were really motivated.

Anyway, I hate to resort to math on this, but if a hill giant is twice the height of a human with 8-10 times a human's mass, then it's hard to see a hill giant eating more than 20-30 pounds of food in a sitting. Yes, that's a whole suckling pig eaten by a single giant, but it's a long way away from eating a cow in three bites.

It's totally ridiculous.
I suspect there is a connection between running combat in an abstract board-game style and a desire for bigger and bigger monsters. When you're actually imagining what's occurring in your mind's eye, 12-18ft tall Giants are plenty epic enough.

This article in the series was the best one yet. Very good across the board. I have some notes, just niggling details really, but I thought these guys came across as the best interpretation so far.
All of these are solid, though the culture's differ widely, almost as much as humans do. And they are in different rates of accomplishment. Certainly different between a storm giant and a hill giant.
- Common Ancestry, religion, culture, language, history.
- A prideful, ancient race
- Dragons vs Giants war pre-humanity as a possibility.
Here's a breakdown on each description:
- Storm Giants - looks good
- Cloud Giants - Not sure, looks good. No homeplace mentioned.
- Fire Giants - Pretty good
- Frost Giants - Not necessarily bad, coulThd use Neutrals and more Norse lore
- Stone Giants - Pretty cool
- Hill Giants - Magic hating isn't necessarily magical resistance, but okay otherwise.
- Titans - I really like this. Not the reasons for the approach, but the individuality and requirement that each is such a force that they are uniques.
The real issue is there is no hierarchy or caste system for giants. They are more akin to bears - black, brown, kodiak, and polars. Some are bigger, some smaller, but all are bears.
All giants tend to seclusion and therefore are found far from large populations of more prolific races. Even hill giants are a good bit away, if only because other races avoid them.
Giants tend to be longer lived the larger they are.
As a single species they have a broad fecundity (sort of like dogs), which is usually intentionally limited. How giantkin like ogres and trolls came about might have to do with foolhardy hill giants.
Ecology and climate affect the local populations of giants more than the human norm. SO we get frosty the giant, but quite not frosty the human.
Stone Giants technically are mountain giants, at least in terms of the Norse Mythos of Deities & Demigods. The Bergrisi of the Jotun are also known as rock giants and why I believe they were included in the early Monster Manual.
A lot of cultures have giants as part of their histories and myths. I think we include many more, if we expanded D&D as partly a mythology-based game.
There's no such thing as stories or storytelling. RPG roleplaying is game system mastering

Here's my problem, I read the article yesterday and I've now slept on it and I can't tell you which giant is at the top and which is #2 . Outside of stone giants throw rocks and hill giants are big and dumb (and frost = cold and fire = fire) I know and remember very little about the article or indeed their new scope for the giants.
This problem isn't just with the new interpretation though, I've been playing for YEARS and I still don't know the difference between cloud and storm, or why I would use one more than another.
Are giants supposed to be elementally? If so shouldn't they all resemble their elements MORE closely?
Let me relate this to dragons, it is like they have the red dragon, the green dragon, the gold dragon, the purple dragon, a couple of 4e's drakes and a wyvern and they're giving me hierarchy information on them. It seems like they are missing the mark, at least in my opinion.
I wouldn't use any of these giants as the "fee-fi-fo-fum" type giants because they aren't big enough. 22 feet being the TALLEST. Where do I find ones that have hands as big as a person? Huge is the common size we're getting now, same as before IIRC but that is too homogeneous.
Yes I could have vikings killing frost giants again, if I had vikings or enough frost giants, but they really miss the point. Ever wonder if the viking tales talked of frost giants because they lived in a colder environment than other tales? Does cold environment now equate to cold immunity? Where did the summoning blizzards and avalanches come from. I like it but I don't get it. Are they supposed to be creatures of the elements or creatures who USE the elements to their favour? It seems like no matter their choice they're currently stuck in an odd middle ground.
My preference BTW would be to keep the elemental flavour but not have them be creatures of those elements. Just like I would make dragons who can spit fire but not necessarily dragons COMPOSED of fire.
EDIT: At least we with dragons we know there are the scholar dragons, the brooding dragons, the greedy dragons, the maniacally evil ones. With giants we have the warrior ones, the aloof warrior ones, the get off my grass warrior ones and the hungry ones.

Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a histone, any of a group of water-soluble proteins found in association with the DNA of plant and animal chromosomes. They are involved in the condensation and coiling of chromosomes during cell division and have also been implicated in nonspecific suppression of gene activity.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with the enzyme histone deacetylase.
Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphate group to the threonine-11 residue of the N-terminal tail of histone H3.
The function of a transcription cofactor that activates transcription in conjuction with a ligand-dependent nuclear receptor from a RNA polymerase II promoter; does not bind DNA itself.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules).
Catalysis of the phosphorylation of an amino acid residue in a protein, usually according to the reaction: a protein + ATP = a phosphoprotein + ADP.
Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. This reaction requires diacylglycerol.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with protein kinase C.
Catalysis of the reactions: ATP + protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate, and ATP + protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with Rac protein, any member of the Rac subfamily of the Ras superfamily of monomeric GTPases.
The initiation of the activity of the inactive enzyme JUN kinase (JNK).
Any apoptotic process in a B cell, a lymphocyte of B lineage with the phenotype CD19-positive and capable of B cell mediated immunity.
The process of regulating the proliferation and elimination of B cells such that the total number of B cells within a whole or part of an organism is stable over time in the absence of an outside stimulus.
The orderly movement of an epithelial cell from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism.
The modification of histone H3 by the addition of an phosphate group to a threonine residue at position 11 of the histone.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of detection of, or exposure to, a hyperosmotic environment, i.e. an environment with a higher concentration of solutes than the organism or cell.
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate or extent of B cell proliferation.
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of protein kinase activity.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of immunoglobulin production.
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription from an RNA polymerase II promoter.
A organ system process carried out by any of the organs or tissues of the renal system. The renal system maintains fluid balance, and contributes to electrolyte balance, acid/base balance, and disposal of nitrogenous waste products. In humans, the renal system comprises a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, sphincter muscle and associated blood vessels; in other species, the renal system may comprise related structures (e.g., nephrocytes and malpighian tubules in Drosophila).
The cellular process in which a signal is conveyed to trigger a change in the activity or state of a cell. Signal transduction begins with reception of a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a receptor or receptor activation by a stimulus such as light), or for signal transduction in the absence of ligand, signal-withdrawal or the activity of a constitutively active receptor. Signal transduction ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. regulation of transcription or regulation of a metabolic process. Signal transduction covers signaling from receptors located on the surface of the cell and signaling via molecules located within the cell. For signaling between cells, signal transduction is restricted to events at and within the receiving cell.
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the spleen over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The spleen is a large vascular lymphatic organ composed of white and red pulp, involved both in hemopoietic and immune system functions.

Counselor stabbed at LA job training school
LOS ANGELES Police say a counselor who was stabbed at a job training school in Hollywood has died.
Los Angeles police officer Karen Rayner says 48-year-old Dwayne Alexander died following the Wednesday afternoon attack at the Job Corps facility on Lodi (LOH'-deye) Place. He had been stabbed multiple times and died at a hospital.
Rayner says a 22-year-old student is in custody in connection with the stabbing, but he has not yet been booked.
Rayner says a crisis response team was called to the school to talk to students and staff.
Police are investigating the motive for the attack.

Describing the world's economic model based on insatiable consumption of resources "a global suicide pact," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon challenged world leaders at the World Economic Forum last week to "make major changes - in our lifestyles, our economic models, our social organization, and our political life."
The U.N. chief warned that humanity is "running out of time."
He told the gathering of heads of State, international economists, business leaders and representatives of civil society that to avoid national and global "disaster" will require balanced development that will lift millions out of poverty and, at the same time, protect the planet and ecosystems that support economic growth. He said, "It is good business - good politics - and good for society."
"China is going to leave all of us in the dust," Christiana Figueres, head of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change declared the previous day, the Associated Press reported.
The diplomat leading the U.N. Climate talks said that China is surpassing the U.S. and Europe in developing clean and low-carbon energy as a way to spur its economy.
"China is committed to winning the green economy race," she said. "And honestly they are not doing it just because they want to save the planet. They are doing it because it's good for the economy."
Last year China increased spending on low-carbon energy by 30 percent to $51.1 billion, "by far the largest figure for any country," according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The accounting firm Ernst & Young reported in September that China for the first time surpassed the U.S. in its quarterly index of the most appealing countries for renewable energy projects.
"You can leapfrog - you don't have to follow the model of the north," Figueres declared. "China is showing this." China's chief climate negotiator Su Wei has said his country will boost energy efficiency in its next five-year plan being worked out this year.
European Union Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard called on U.S. business to take greater initiative in embracing a more energy-efficient economic model.
Governments can provide the conditions for green growth by setting "a price on carbon," Hedegaard said. "If it costs a lot to pollute a lot, then business has an incentive to pollute less."

Posted on 01/13/2008 2:47:05 PM PST by blam
Certain Dry Foods Are Good Past Their Best-before Date, Food Scientists Say
February 1, 2007 Some low-moisture foods such as dried apples can be safe to eat even years after their expiration date, if properly stored, food chemists say. They verified this in a tasting experiment of 28-year-old rolled oats. Heat, moisture and light can degrade food's nutritional value.
The next time you find forgotten food in the pantry, don't just toss it. Keeping food past its expiration date may not seem like a good idea, but certain foods last a lot longer than you think -- years longer.
Food scientists now know that, when properly sealed, some dried food that's been sitting on shelves for years, could still be OK to eat.
"It lasts a lot longer than we thought," Oscar Pike a food scientist at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, tells DBIS.
That's good news for Leslie Probert, who joins the rising number of people stockpiling food for emergencies. "I'm just writing the date on these cans so that I can remember when they were purchased," she says. "This is a year's supply of food for a family of five."
Scientists have known certain foods like sugar and salt can be stored indefinitely, but wanted to learn the shelf life of other food like dried apples -- stored since 1973 -- tried by taste testers.
"I like to call it the emergency shelf life of the food, food that you'd still be willing to eat in an emergency," Pike says. "It's not as though it were freshly canned, but it's certainly edible."
He says the best foods to store are low in moisture, like wheat and powered milk. But keep all foods away from heat and light to stop it from going stale and losing nutritional value. "All the foods that we've tested have been stored at room temperature or below, so you want to avoid attic and garage storage."
In the study, researchers taste-tested rolled oats that had been stored in sealed containers for 28 years. Three-fourths of tasters considered the oats acceptable to eat in an emergency.
And in other news, water is wet, and a bright light will be sighted in the eastern sky sometime this morning.
Good to know but I'm not sure I want to test my luck. :)
Dry foods can be stored for a very long time but they must be stored airtight. Bugs will get into them eventually if not sealed.
No dear...That's emergency food...
Sounds pretty stupid from here.
Fruit cake studies caused this assertion no doubt.
Natural foods went bad more predictably and eating them gave you an upset stomach at the most.
With preservatives and animal antibiotics, stronger bacteria thrive and cause nastier poisoning. You can die from many disease strains found in today's meat.
Is it? Not really
I don't think there's ever been wide spread famine in the USA, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.
Most food warehousing today uses a "just in time" inventory system, where as items are depleted off the supermarket shelf, replacements are programmed to be sent via long haul or region truck to that store. This has created cost savings in what would be valuable real estate and manpower to warehouse goods locally, especially in big cities and suburbs.
What would happen if terrorsits struck an area with a dirty bomb or a bioligical agent? Would the feds shut down access into or out of a metropolitan area to prevent spread of a contagious agent, say small pox? You bet they would!
How long would the food last in that area if the large scale regional warehouses couldn't be accessed? A week, maybe.
That old oatmeal might not be so bad in that case.
Is this scenario likely? No. But you should always be prepared. I know my family and I could survive on our own almost indefinetly, as we live on a farm. Food would surely get boring, but we could survive.
Hmmm. And here I thought that if the label said "best before 12/12/07, that it was perfectly good on 12/11/07, but spoilded on 12/13/07.
This headline writer needs a good slap.
He could have just used my kitchen cabinets.
Even my rotation schedule is out of date.
As long as it's not furry it's OK.
I've always wondered about that. When I was a kid in the 70's we had some C-rations in the garage that were at least 20 years old that we ate. The ham and beans were quite tasty, but things like crackers were just terrible. They still had cigarettes in the accessory packs.
I have watermelon pickle in the fridge that the dead lady across the street made 3-4 years ago and hot pepper jelly that my mother made long before she died in 2001.
In fact, I could produce a meal entirely of dead people's food. I've got frozen trout that my neighbor caught, my dead neighbor, and I have a box of Nilla Wafers that we bought for my father-in-law who died in '93.
I pride myself on cooking meals from dented cans and "managers special" finds in produce and meat.
My only question is, where's the day old fish and dented beer?
There is a lot of info including food storage here-http://waltonfeed.com/sitemap.html
I would probably avoid a prophylactic that's older than me.
When I served in the Marines back in the early 1980s, I had C-rations that I'm pretty sure were canned back when Bing Crosby was still on the Hit Parade and Elvis was a truck-driver.
That's funny.
I believe that meat does not generally last that long. However many types of dried and canned foods in reality have nearly unlimited shelf lives. The dried foods last long times as long as they are kept dry, and are insect free. For many canned foods off tastes from the metal cans are more of an issue than spoilage, as long as the container is kept sealed.
I remember having some people freak after I told them that I had brought quart jars of apple sauce that was 15 years old. It still had vacuum, so it was good.
I store up every fall for the NY winter and buy sales the rest of the year. But there's no 5 year old food in that cupboard.
How long would the food last in that area if the large scale regional warehouses couldn't be accessed? A week, maybe.
That old oatmeal might not be so bad in that case.<<<
In San Diego, during the 1960's, they said the town had a 3 day supply of food in the grocery warehouses...........IF the Government took control of it instantly and doled it out.
And that you must be prepared for the Gov to get organized, so they could pass it out.
Plus, then there about 2 main hiways into San Diego, one from Los Angeles and the other I-8 to El Centro.
It would be easy to stop the new supplies from reaching there.
In the late 1970's there was a big Truckers strike, then I lived near Kingman, Arizona.
There was one very large Safeway Store and several smaller markets.
I walked into Safeway and the shelves were bare.
If they had a case of cereal, you could buy ONE box.
It was one of each item, with only the bare basics available.
The manager was attempting to haul enough food from the Las Vegas Warehouse of Safeway, to feed 15,000 to 20,000 people, in a Pick up truck.
When I hear talk of a Truck strike, I go food shopping, yes, I have been told that I was nuts, but nothing erases the memory a huge store with NOTHING on the shelves and only a few cases near the checkout stands.
I think it will not take much to make a town want a shipment of food and wish they had stored more, under the bed.
I love seeing their link, they are one of the few companies that I have ever dealt with, that I was completely happy.
Shopping in Kingman, is expensive for food, I can buy the basics from Walton, pay the shipping, have it delivered to my living room, and save money.
Wait till you open their bag of Oatmeal, it was the first time in years that I had smelled it, the brown sugar is another that smells so good and fresh, that you are munching as you empty the bags.
There is, when you open the catalog, a page called "Read my Label", I learned more about what was in some of the foods from there, then in 50 years of being a wife.
Smile, no, not connected to them, found them on the internet, checked to see if it was used by the Mormons, as they do know about storing food and became a happy customer.
If I'm going to store something for any amount of time, I put it in canning jars and use a canning lid to seal it. No processing for dry goods, but stuff like popcorn keeps very well when sealed in an airtight container. Plastic doesn't cut it.

Posted on 03/09/2014 9:18:45 PM PDT by neverdem
The simple blood test could give early warning within three years
The test could speed the search for new drugs that delay or prevent disease
Experts are pleased, but it could bring health concerns if no cure is found
A simple blood test has been developed that gives healthy elderly people precious early warning they may get Alzheimers within the next three years.
It is hoped the test, the first to predict accurately who will become ill, could speed the search for new drugs that can delay or even prevent the devastating brain disease.
It could eventually lead to widespread screening in middle-age to identify those most at risk and give them greater warning...
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Zeke sez: "Won't work over here. Death panels are cheaper."
What this test will result in, is not a quick cure.
It will result in people being unable to obtain insurance.
My days and mind are filled with Alzheimer's Disease, as both my parents have it.
I disagree that prevention would be much helped by a three year head's up. There is a very good chance that that isn't long enough to do serious prevention. And those three years might be fraught with anxiety.
Until each year when my parents first exhibited problems they could no longer hide, each seemed perfectly normal, happy, living full, rich lives. It would have been nothing but cruel to take those three joyful years away from them, even if it made them focus on their diets or exercise, or study about the disease. Truly, there would have existed a fear they did not, actually, have to feel. I'm glad they didn't know.
First, come up with solid long term prevention. Then test for who will get it. I am sort of in the position of focusing on prevention, quite obviously, but that doesn't mean I want to know today about my future.
Yes, I know about acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and glutamate antagonists.
I have 2 uncles. One was a brilliant electrical engineer who worked directly for the Navy then later as a consultant to the Navy. Now he's lucky to know who his wife is. He is late 80s. As one person said, he's forgotten more than most of the rest of us will never know.
His brother just turned 90 and totally lucid. You'd NEVER know he is 90! Still lives alone, still drives sometimes. Amazing.
And then their sister, my mother. She is amazing - has had a great memory all her life. Starting to repeat herself now but nothing like Alzheimers.
You just never know.
My mom is 97 and just started medication.
At that age is is very difficult to distinguish Alzheimers from a normal aging process (brain scans aren't reliable). Perhaps the plasma phospholipid test would be useful in doing so.
Not from an exchange if under 65 or from Medicare.
Just means a 3 year earlier trip to the Soylent Green factory.
I'm hoping green veggie juice and red wine save me.
At least it keeps me fairly happy!
It's just like registering your guns so the State can come and seize them. Seniors stupid enough to fall for this are signing their death warrants, as you say.
Does that mean marijuana juice? I'll have to look into that.
From all I have read, daily cardio exercise is your best prevention for Alzheimers and many other things. Increase your circulation as much as you can.
is marijuana a veggie? LOL
it really means my Joe's mean green juice - as seen in Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.
Actually I'm having some right now - hope it doesn't keep me up half the night...
May the Good Lord help you in your trials and bring comfort to your parents.
I've read so much about alzheimers. Yet I can't find something in my parents' lives that for sure played a part. My dad was thin and fit and my mom was more sedentary and overweight. They traveled, they read a lot, they were very smart.
Might be diet or exposure to chemicals. I don't know.
I've already signed up Harry Reid, John McCain, Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Diane Feinstein, and just about any Democrat politician whose name I could remember.
Tests: just confirming what we know. Zombies!
boots n pants n boots n pants n boots n pants
I watched that video, interesting. I've heard that the rise in Alzheimer's is partly due to lack of cholesterol in the diet and all the statin drugs.
I can find links (Science Daily) to show the opposite. The brain needs cholesterol to function.
Substantial evidence has accumulated in support of the hypothesis that elevated cholesterol levels increase the risk of developing Alzheimers disease (AD). As a result, much work has been done investigating the potential use of lipid-lowering agents (LLAs), particularly statins, as preventive or therapeutic agents for AD. While epidemiology and preclinical statin research (described in Part 1 of this review) have generally supported an adverse role of high cholesterol regarding AD, human studies of statins (reviewed here) show highly variable outcomes, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions.
Plenty of cholesterol is available to the CNS even with a max dosage of statins!
We haven't seen the final word on these studies, though.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you for what you're dealing with.I think you've got it exactly right: no testing for Alzheimer's until there's an effective treatment or path to prevention.
Just in time for Obama's Death Panels to deny you coverage for any subsequent illness:
"Tests indicate a 85% chance of dementia for patient. Coverage for cancer treatment is denied."
The jury is out, guess one has to research and draw their own conclusions.
There has been a test in Nuclear Medicine that can find Alzheimer's at an early stage and has been for years. However, Medicare refuses to fund it since there's no cure for it.
In other words, why look for it if there's nothing we can do about it?
I'd advise those with a family history to pay for the test out of pocket. You might not be able to do anything about the disease itself, but at least it can be helpful in planning your life.
By the way, do it under a fake name. This way, the insurance companies won't find out.
