Skip to comments.Storm Warning: The Gloomy Forecast for EMPs
Posted on 07/07/2012 7:41:45 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Almost a week after the D.C. area was pummeled with raging storms, many individuals are still suffering in the July heat without lights, phone lines, and, perhaps most importantly, air conditioning.
In the immediate aftermath of this event, tens of thousands of Washingtonians, Marylanders, and Virginians were left without power. Storms across the country had similar effects, and Americans from Richmond to Detroit are still facing the summer heat without many basic comforts.
As awful as this is, things could be even worse. Imagine for a moment that that the power never came back on.

Get use to misery, 0bama voters.
It's going to be this way with 0bama in office.
0bama likes us to be miserable. Makes him happy.
Doesn't matter who you are, what color you are, where you come from.
We'll all be thrown under the bus, maybe we already have.
Good work, if you can get it...
"There must be lots of money in fear-mongering."
I know a lot of people who made a lot of money during the Y2K scam.
Yes because we know that no great empires have ever fallen in the entire history of the world.
Y2K was a real threat that was wisely diverted thru a great deal of money and effort.
Calling it a scam is like describing the flood risk along the Mississippi as a scam.
Oh I dunno, just because you test some software and it fails doesn't mean it will fail when the clock really ticks over, does it?
"There must be lots of money in fear-mongering."
Yes, there is a rash of EMP articles every four months.
Remember all the Y2K "control centers" and "disaster control rooms" that were put in with Fed money? Find ONE now.
I'm set up for EMP..
I lucked into some almost free solar panels. Enough to
run fans,lights, my QRP ham gear, and stuff like the microwave
for short bursts. Got a selection of ham and other gear set up
to survive (I hope) and if need be I can whip up some simple ham gear from parts.
I hope my hard drives survive if this ever happens, got 6TB of data I'd hate to lose.
If it meant never having to hear Atlantic coasters whining again, I'd launch an EMP against them right now. You lost power for a few days, get over it and stfu
I agree. A lot of coders worked very hard, and worked long, grinding hours to built workarounds or otherwise changed vulnerable coding for essential programs. Since then, they have always been sort of like heroes to me. :o)
As I understand it, if it only has two places for the year and needs four, yes.
The best (and only real) preparation is falling into the hands of our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is coming soon to take us out of here before He brings this judgment on the world. If you haven't received Him as your Savior, why not do it now? Just ask Him to come into your heart. It's that simple - but the results are profound because His death on the cross made it all possible by His grace.
Interesting, we had this same type storm in Memphis on July 22, 2003 and it was practically ignored by the mass media.
People using religion as an excuse not to prepare are as bad as liberals nitwits. One is waiting for God to rescue them from something they should have planned for and the other is waiting on the government to rescue them.
I think we'd actually be better off once we made the necessary adjustments.
No more cable TV or Internet or surveillance drones would not be all bad.
That's because Tennesseans don't really know how to whine and bellyache. A large percentage of the population in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia corridor (with it HUGE number of federal employees and large population of government handout entitled/dependent individuals) have it down to a science. I should know, I live in the People's Democratic Republic of Maryland and suffer hearing that whining all the time.
Hold it!
I am sorry but except in a "Dies the Fire" fantasy where the laws of physics get rewritten the power will come back on.
It may take a while, even a few years at worse but it will be back. Making a generator is not that hard, they were doing it in the 1700's. Got a river or stream? You have the engine to turn the wheels to generate electricity. No flowing water? Wind will work. You will need to make wet cell batteries but they were doing that 2000 BC.
Will we have "all we need"? Probably. Not all we want but enough to get things back up and running. And that will be built on.
In case of EMP that took down the entire grid all over the world (Unlikely as that is) with in a week you would have some clever folks generating their own electricity. Certainly with a month.
Getting the entire thing back up and running would only take a few years if people were properly motivated. I have no doubt they would be motivated.
The trick be surviving until things began to sort themselves out.
It would be pointless, for example to protect all my electric devices by whatever means, if the distribution control points fail. Or the generation controls, even if they control relative "low-tech" but huge hydroelectric generating facilities. Can those control rooms be "isolated" and protected from EMP by any reasonable means?
I have no idea, but can't help wondering if anyone does.
6 days of no electricity for me in 100 degree heat...It sucked tough guy...And I had a 5500 watt generator.
The USA is different from all other empires and great nations in history. It can never fall. /sarc
"Y2K was a real threat that was wisely diverted thru a great deal of money and effort.
Calling it a scam is like describing the flood risk along the Mississippi as a scam."
Kinda like that biblical Jonah and his Nineveh scam huh?/s
In all seriousness, that truly was a disaster averted.
No, no, no, they just didn't have the computers required to print enough stimulus. Get your story straight!
"I lucked into some almost free solar panels. ... I hope my hard drives survive if this ever happens, got 6TB of data Id hate to lose."
Most hard drives, plugged in or not, would be toast. And if your solar panels have any integrated electronics they would be gone, too.
I read about a trick using an old microwave as a protective box for hard drives and small electronics. The post said an old microwave plugged into a grounded outlet can act as a shield for hard drives, acting as a faraday cage. I don't know if it works, but you might look into it. You could get several external hard drives and rotate them between the computer and the microwave.
Memphis is majority black and can whine with the best of them. They are just ignored on these kind of issues, while New York, Chicago and Washington get the press for minor issues.
Look at much of post-colonial Africa today. Roads collapse and are never repaired. Copper is stripped out to make bracelets and the wiring is never replaced. Etc. I know that Africa is a rather special case, but it proves that declines can become self-reinforcing, even in our modern era.
The difference is, there will be nearly instant recovery from a heat wave. The impact of EMP would decimate the population and recovery would take years, if not decades.
I guess the best thing to do would be to transfer the data to blank blu ray disks.
The solar panels are stored in a shed. They have no integrated electronics other than a 3amp diode to prevent the batteries draining when in the dark. I have a bag of diodes in protected storage that should be alright.
I have tube gear for just in case the solid state stuff is all fried. I can rig a vibrator power convertor for the solar system to power the filament and hi voltages for the old gear if the solid state inverters all fail.
The "sorting out" is the problem, however optimistic a scenario you wish to paint. The book "One Second After" offers a plausible scenario of post EMP chaos and survival. The power will not come back on quickly enough to matter for the sick, frail, or anyone dependent on medication, they will be gone within a month. While we can envision enclaves of technologists (perhaps you and I, for example) who will find ways to spin a water wheel or wind generator, there are more efficient ways to make light and preserve food, especially considering there are a lot more of "them" who would kill and steal to take things of value than there are of "us". If the majority of the population is reduced to survivalism within a month or two, getting the lights on will be a relatively low priority.
However, generating sufficient power to enable communications would be a top priority, I'm with you there, and ignoring the potential to restore radio communications is one of the few nits I would pick with Forstchen's book.
There are many who have it worse off than I do...I realize that. Why do have to be a righteous dick about it? This past week wasn't fun for millions on the East coast. Maybe you should get over it.
".......The book One Second After offers a plausible scenario of post EMP chaos and survival......."
Thanks bigbob. I just ordered ""One Second After" from Amazon. Was going to order it in the Kindle edition but decided to instead pay 20 cents more and get the paperback...just in case my wife's Kindle gets fried by an EMP before I can read the book next week. Just kidding about the EMP—I usually prefer "hard copy".
maybe you should get over it. Your whining is tiring
The reason is the main transformers that exist at big baseload power plants. There's one monster transformer for each phase. Those have a lead time of over a year. There used to be one and only one plant in the US that made them. A Carrington level event would destroy hundreds of those transformers if the report is to be believed.
It is conceivable that some areas might not recover for decades if at all. The immediate result of a Carrington level event would be the death of millions in a very short time due the loss of modern infrastructure such as water treatment facilities and the ability to transport food stuffs. Large cities would be uninhabitable.
You can forget the idea of continuity of government. I've personally seen the level of planning that ignores reality. Locally during the current power outages, the level of incompetence is staggering. I'm seeing that in the utility effort which exemplifies the failure of top down management or central planning and even the Red Cross which is showing some unbelievable lack of basic preparedness.
It was very instructive to talk to three Red Cross crews in the past two days and realize they are unprepared to the point they can't accomplish something as basic as find an address. Same with the National Guard.
If the basics can't be accomplished in something like the current situation, the reprecussions of a Carrington level event are so extreme they are simply beyond the comprehension of most.
These are pictures of the specialized Schnabel rail cars used to transport the main transformers used at power plants. These are also few and far beween. I suspect there are only a couple in North America.
BTW, there's only one plant that builds large generators in this counry too.
I had the same type of discussion on another thread just tonight.
The thing with people wanting to point to Y2K as an example of why theres no need to prepare is a misnomer, yes nothing happened, but not because there was no problem. Nothing happened because companies and governments spent millions of dollars and IT people spend thousand of man hours fixing the problem before it could occur.
Taking heed of a problem and preventing a disaster does not prove disasters can not happen.
If a farmer stores bails of sand bags and water pumps in case of flooding and one spring the Weather Service announces a river crest thats 6 over the levee that protects his farm, and then he and his neighbors work together and raise the levee a foot. And between the sand bags and the water pumps the farm which is below the rivers crest doesnt flood.
Does that mean the farm was never in any danger of flooding. Was the farmer and his neighbors fools for working so hard to sand bag the levee and keep the pumps running? Hell was it foolish for the farmer to store the sand bags and the pumps to begin with? Was the Weather Service wrong in issuing their Flood Warning?
Pointing to a disaster averted is NO PROOF that disasters can not and will not occur.
I worked on several large/y2k projects, it was real, there were real needs to get those programs updated to ensure things ran without incident.
I wouldn't say it's an excuse. It's a necessary first step of doing the rest of your prepping. Get right with God first, then do your planning - a wise man sees what is going on around him and plans accordingly, a fool sees what is happening and does nothing.
'If it meant never having to hear Atlantic coasters whining again, Id launch an EMP against them right now. You lost power for a few days, get over it and stfu'—
May you go 10 days in 100+degree heat, with no water, cooling, refrigeration, ice or flushing toilets, oh and don't 'whine'.
Practically ignored? I don't think so. I lived in the DC area, and I remember it very well. Although I will say, it took a little while for it to make the big news.
... and just so you know, the Wikipedia article says the temperature soared past 90 degrees. In the aftermath of the East Coast storm, we've been sitting in 100+ temperatures for over a week. And the population of the area affected is several times greater. So, yes, it is a little more newsworthy.
Here's a thought for you. What if the polls were showing dear leader had no chance of winning about the middle of October. Would anyone be surprised if he and Bill Ayers cooked up a scheme to set off a coordinated series of EMP's across the country. The resulting chaos would make elections impossible so dear leader would be forced to maintain control. Remember Bill Ayers said it would be necessary to kill 25 million Americans. That would be easy for them to accomplish.
Been there done that. Get over it. There's a reason you folks are stuck on the east coast
No complaints here - even if I did lose power, which, between hurricanes and blizzards happens from time to time here in New England. Plenty of fresh water, lots of meat walking and flying around in the woods and fields, mild summers, trout and salmon - it's God's country. And if you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes.
I'd rather deal with cold than heat.
Too hard to hide the fingerprints. I think it's more likely we'll see a Persian Gulf of Tonkin Incident, leading to all-out war in the region, leading to a "state of emergency." Iranians will retaliate with widespread terrorism on U.S. soil, making elections "too dangerous for the time being."
That's one scenario for delaying elections.
"even in our modern era."
Every falling society thought they had a modern era that could only advance forward.
Yes indeed. The world is full of "advanced cities" covered in jungle or buried under sand.

News bullets and other important items:
- Brandon Moore and Stephen Hopkins still have unclear injury status. They may or may not play Saturday.
- The staff is wearing the Chuckstrong t-shirts on the way to the stadium.
Brady Hoke
Opening remarks:
"Uh, thanks for coming. Good practice yesterday. Liked how we're preparing right now. I think the intensity level hopefully will be the same today from an offensive standpoint. I think talking to Al, they got a lot of good work done yesterday. Defensively, I'd say the same thing. I think both coordinators were pleased. I mean, not happy, but pleased with the preparation that we have."
Were the practices as good as they were last week?
"Uh, I think it was comparable. I think coming off the bye week and not playing for a week, I think you always have a little more intensity it seems like. I think they're comparable."

Opening remarks:
"Thanks for coming. Very pleased with the win. It's great to win, obviously. I thought we set a tone early defensively and great to win on the road is what I should say because you look at this league on the road, it's a tough place to play. I thought we set the tone with the three-and-out on the defense, and offensively, 17-play drive, almost nine minutes, really was what we needed to do. We play really good defense watching our offense out there on the field. That's a good deal. I think we practiced well for the week. We prepared well. Liked how our guys came to work every day, and we need to continue to do that. We know we're in a championship game every Saturday, so our mentality and attitude needs to reflect that by our actions in practice. We had a good day yesterday, and hopefully we can continue that."

Touchdown Billy Taylor. A trailer for Dan Chace's upcoming Billy Taylor documentary:
More Yost pictures. From new M hockey blog Yost Section 25:
The first Sunday matinee game is going to be a trip.
Game: stepped up. OSU just announced a series with TCU starting in 2018, which is somewhat notable since they've already got Cincinnati on the docket. If TCU is notable, this is jaw-dropping:
"We will play two more BCS games that year," [OSU AD Gene] Smith told Yahoo! Sports via email Wednesday, using the parlance for a quality top six-conference opponent.
Even if those are Colorado-style one-off guarantee games, dang. OSU may be done with the Little Sisters of the Poor:
"That year [2018] is a snapshot of future years," Smith said. "As we move forward, from 2018 and out, our goal is BCS only. We are looking at top ranked teams, 1-50 teams."
Here's a thing I never thought I'd say: Gene Smith, I am impressed. If OSU puts together a full slate of BCS opponents in 2018, that will be their first time since 1995 (4-8 BC, 7-4-1 Washington, and 2-9 Pitt) and second time since 1990.
Michigan's last all-power-conference lineup was in 1997, and Dave Brandon has a lot of work to do to keep up with the Joneses what with the Notre Dame series ending*.
*[ : ( ]
Playoff: a motivator. Wetzel points out a key motivator behind the sort of scheduling seen above:
In 1988, before the creation of the Bowl Alliance, the precursor to the BCS, there were 15 non-conference games where both teams were ranked in the AP preseason top 20. This year there were just two featuring AP preseason top 20 teams: Alabama-Michigan and Clemson-South Carolina.
While one of the BCS's oft-repeated talking points was that it protected the regular season, it was, in fact, destroying the non-conference portion.
Now it's back to the future as athletic directors across the country place their faith in a selection committee that will rationally analyze a body of work, not just blindly follow records.
For example, Oregon was ranked fifth in the final BCS standings last season, one spot behind Stanford. The Ducks had two losses, but one was to then top-ranked LSU on a neutral field. Stanford had just one loss, but it was to Oregon, by 23 points at home. The Ducks also won the Pac-12 title.
The BCS didn't care. It claimed Stanford was better. An informed selection committee would never make that decision and thus penalize Oregon for playing a challenging non-conference schedule. Conversely, a weak non-conference schedule might cost you on selection day.
Even Wisconsin says it will seek out "at least" two major opponents in the non-conference schedule. Man, the BCS sucked. Not only did it pick the wrong team about half the time, it also created the worst scheduling practices since things like Iowa Pre-Flight stopped existing.
Money is another factor, of course. With ticket prices rising along with guarantee requirements the money has started coming in on the side of actual games.
Trouba: the devil on skates. Three tweets from the immediate aftermath of Jacob Trouba's first practice at Michigan:

I think we are going to like Mr. Trouba.
Goalie: ack. In less sunny news, Red Berenson revealed that projected starting goalie Jared Rutledge had retina surgery recently and may not be available early in the season. Meanwhile, top backup Steve Racine is also coming back from injury:
Racine underwent an offseason surgery that limited his physical activity, Berenson said.
"He's just starting to get close to 100 percent, but he looks pretty good," Berenson said.
Racine is 21 after a long junior career and will be a nice guy to have on the roster—not every 5'6" walkon is going to be the statistically-best goalie in Michigan history.
Ain't got no headset. Hoke on WXYT:
"It is overrated," Hoke said Thursday on an interview with the Stoney and Bill Show on WXYT 97.1-FM. "You ever watch guys on head sets and they don't say a word? This gives me an opportunity to coach kids during a game.
"The game is a mental game, it's a game of motivation and enthusiasm and teaching. Not wearing a headset, I get to teach on the sideline and be a part of it."
As for the question of whether or not he knows what play offensive coordinator Al Borges is sending in, Hoke says he doesn't need a headset to hear that.
"I do know what the calls are, because there's a guy standing right behind me who tells me every call that's going in," Hoke said.
People keep bombing the Vincent Smith call, but when two linemen don't pull that's not really on the playcall.
Also Hoke likes "Smoke on the Water," surprising no one. I would watch a sitcom based around the misadventures of 20-year-old Brady Hoke in Muncie. I would break that thing down.
Oh for the love of God. Two sentences from two PR things I received today:

Proceeds from Heart of Dallasactivities will be used to invest in collective impact strategies that make Dallas a better place.

Opening remarks:
"Thanks for coming out. We had a really, really good practice yesterday. Really liked the speed, tempo that we practiced with. Liked the execution from an offense and defensive standpoint. When you look at mistakes or missed assignments or whatever, had very minimal of those. Competed really well with each other, and I thought it was a good day. Now we have to come back and have a [good] back-to-back [practice]."
Taylor Lewan said you had an unusually high number of mistakes (23) on offense. What do you attribute that to?
"Yeah. And I don't know if it was quite 23. There was a number of them from different guys and different plays. Some of that is you look at how much you're doing. Maybe you have too much in, maybe they don't undersatnd it well enough, but for a lot of it, we're playing at night, you get a little extra time with walkthroughs. I think it always comes down to your focus on every play. When you don't do that you're not going to play as well."
Unverified Voracity Is Getting A Call From Mom
wait, what? – Caleb TerBush
Yikes. Michigan is a mere three-point favorite against Purdue this weekend, which seems mighty narrow to me. I may be assuming that Denard Robinson does not turn the ball over five times, which Vegas is not. Boo 2012 Notre Dame game, boo.
Purdue's coming off a not-as-close-as-you-think game against Marshall in which they led 42-14 at halftime before yielding three touchdowns in the first 18 minutes of the second half and allowing the Herd to get within ten points. They traded touchdowns in the final 12 minutes, and that was the final margin. Marshall's lost to Ohio and beat Rice in two OTs; they've got the worst scoring D in the country at the moment, and they outgained Purdue by 91 yards. If Michigan only wins by three I'll be expecting bad things the rest of the season. Purdue QB Caleb TerBush was ineffective against ND (8 of 19, 79 yards, 1 TD/2 INT) and was pulled for a considerably better Robert Marve. Marve won't be available.
So what I'm saying is that at first blush I don't like the spread, which makes me feel both sad and alarmed because it's the best predictor available. I would like to avoid posting this at any point over the weekend:
Beyer's back. The most newsy bit of the press conference:
How's your team's health?
"There ya go. You know, I think Beyer will be back. Brandon Moore will be close. He's getting better."
Richard Ash?
"Richard is better. Uh there's one more, too."
"Hop's fine. Devin's fine. They all practiced last night. Yeah Ricky Barnum was a little -- sore shoulder. He was fine last night. So with the guys who aren't out for the year, the rest of them are okay."
Marvin Robinson?
"He was better. He ran around last night and he feels much better."
Beyer was walking around in an air cast after his injury and I was a little worried he might be laid up for a long time, which would have been bad. The options at WDE were a major target for ND and didn't do so well. Beyer at least gives them another option at the spot. Clark makes more plays you notice, but I'll bet a nickel Beyer is less likely to get caved in and give up the edge.
Also, feel free to infer that Brink is out for the year from the above.
Also also, this:
Are you worried that Denard is what he is, i.e. not improving in your system?
"No. Not at all. I mean, he's our quarterback, and he's a damned good quarterback. I didn't say that, so don't write that. No we're very comfortable and we're very confident in him. … I know you're going to write that."
I will.
"Daggone it. My mom's going to read that and get mad."
She doesn't think you swear?
"Why don't you just ask a question."
And you're fired and you're fired and you're fired. Extreme media hostility isn't just for Los Angeles anymore:
Tuesday, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier finally spoke with his media after two days of giving an opening statement and then refusing to field questions.
What has Spurrier so irked? Apparently columnist Ron Morris — again.
Ron Morris is a columnist at The State in South Carolina and has become Spurrier's nemesis. Last October, Spurrier called out Morris for something he wrote in the spring regarding then-basketball player Bruce Ellington and how Spurrier persuaded Ellington to play football.
This time, according to Saturday Down South, Spurrier seems to be mad about a Morris column that questioned playing quarterback Connor Shaw against UAB. Shaw, who has been nursing an injured shoulder he suffered in the season opener against Vanderbilt, injured the shoulder again against the Blazers.
The excerpt from the column that follows is pretty tame (also: dumb). Spurrier is accused of a "poor decision" to play Connor Shaw with a dinged shoulder, which he re-injured in the game. The column is just another tossed-off nothing (Shaw was 20 of 21 against Missouri), but apparently this business goes back a ways. Be chill, OBC.
Meanwhile, a local news station axed the guy's weekly segment, causing free speech rabbling.
Meanwhile in local media situations. Meinke is writing articles based off of his viewing of Inside Michigan Football. Interesting ones, even. Here's Mattison on Morgan defending that goddamned counter draw:
Mattison said he was most impressed by Morgan's discipline, specifically citing one counter draw play on which the sophomore could have pursued the ball, but elected to stay home as he was taught.
The play came back to him, and he made the tackle.
"We gave him that play probably four times in practice, and every time we gave it to him, we said, 'Desmond, you've got to stay home. You can't help on that sprint anyhow,'" Mattison said. "Well that same thing has happened before and he would go running and try to make the play because he's a young guy eager to make plays.
"All of the sudden, in this game, he became more of a veteran."
And Mattison on Raymon Taylor:
"Raymon has really improved," defensive coordinator Greg Mattison said this week on the Inside Michigan Football radio show. "He has been thrown in the fire. If someone would have said to me at the beginning of the year, 'Will he be starting against Notre Dame?' I don't know if I would have said yes.
"(But) I was really proud of him how he played. He knows he's got a lot of things he has to get better at, but one thing he didn't do was shy away from anything. He competed."
I'm not sure you can do that. In yet another NHL draft ranking, Chris Peters tackles prospects 26-50. D Michael Downing and F Tyler Motte show up, FWIW, but I'm most intrigued by this construction:
49. Tyler Motte - C - U.S. National Under-18 Team (USHL) - 5-9, 190
When at his best, he's an offensively dynamic talent. Good speed, solid strength despite a smallish frame, and good finish around the net make him an intriguing prospect. Motte has had a problem with consistency, which he has a whole season to prove isn't a problem anymore.
Lloyd Carr feels you, Mr. Peters. Also, yes please 5-9 kid good enough to be a second rounder. Needs moar tiny scoring machines at Yost.
Nice concourse. Wow:
That's quite a difference from last year. Also the zambonis have studded tires now. Yost Built is back to posting, BTW. The Blue/White game scheduled for next Sunday will be a start-studded even thanks to the NHL lockout.
Etc.: UMHoops previews Jordan Morgan and Matt Vogrich. AP Mealer article is everywhere. Trey Burke is a third-team All-American to the Sporting News. Baumgardner on Burke. Weinreb on Holgo and the WVU-Baylor game. Michigan hasn't sucked after byes.

"You know, the bye weeks, I think you never know when a good bye week is, when it's not a good bye week -- I don't think you really know that until you go through it. I think it was good because of the productivity that we got from having the bye week. I would hope we have that, the productivity, anytime the bye week was, but I think we got to really re-evaluate where we're at and what we want to do. I think you evaluate yourselves a little bit as coaches. I think that's always a big part of it. Different things in the aspects that you're involved with, from the kicking, the defense, the offense. You always look at self-scouting, see where you're at, what you might want to do different or what you like, what you're doing.
"I think the other part of it is the teaching part, the fundamentals, and those things that go along with it. I think the other part, which was big, was the guys who are traveling who are freshmen have not been home since June 25th. We have a lot of those guys from the state, got a lot of those guys within driving distance from Ohio and Chicago. It was good to give them about 36 hours to be a human being and go home and maybe watch their high school play, see mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, aunt and uncles, whoever -- I thought that was positive. And then from the academic side also I think it's always a help.
"So we'll find out obviously Saturday. We've got a tremendous challenge because I think Purdue's playing as well as anybody in our league right now. Three and one. Went to South Bend and played a hard-fought tough game, had a chance to win the game. So we got our work cut out for us."

attacking up the southwest slope of 680. Its other platoon would join the fray as soon as
2/7 could send a force to relieve it.46
It was during the actions of 3/7, September 11, that PFC Joseph L. Giovannucci
distinguished himself. Giovannucci was an Assistant Machine Gunner in How 3/7. He
was wounded in the right hand in his company's assault on Hill 680, but he refused
evacuation and "continued to aid in delivering devastating fire against the enemy in the
face of intense hostile mortar, automatic-weapons and small arms fire." Giovannucci
stayed for over four hours, ever refusing evacuation, and was wounded again by enemy
grenade fragments in both legs and feet. "Despite severe pain and loss of blood, he
continued to assist in firing his gun until ordered to be evacuated and, by his aggressive
fighting spirit and fortitude, served to inspire all who observed him. His outstanding
courage, daring initiative and steadfast devotion to duty were contributing factors in the
success of his company. . . ." Giovannucci was the first of eleven Marines who would
receive the Navy Cross during this battle, the nation's second highest award for bravery
in combat.47
Item company took one small counterattack at 1720, which crumbled and fled
under the blistering fire of the Marine weapons. Twenty minutes later, How and Item set
up defensive positions in perimeter on the southeast corner of 680. George reached the
river and began crossing at 1835, but it was too close to dark to start an attack.
Therefore, this company dug in on the low ground just north of the river between Yoke

7741 Tasting Notes
soooooooooo many paris teas, so little time to drink them all.
I've contemplated offering up sample packs of various fancy french teas for people to get a chance to try them but i'm not sure if a)anyone would want them or b)how much of a pain it would be to pack them up and ship them out – esp given canada posts's expensiveness.
This one is a damn good example of a ceylon i can get behind. :)
A) everyone would love it B) biggest pain in the butt ever!!! Ha ha. Just enjoy them all to yourself :)
haha if there are any you want to try/revisit let me know. I think i owe you a surprise one of these days :)
MissB's package to me was about $10.79 shipping, she charged $10 for it. It probably had 100 gm of tea in it. You'd just have to be tricky with the scale! (and I know many people would be interested)
had this first thing in the morning. I've been away from tea for a few days and I wanted something black and different. I haven't had this in a while so i figured what the heck! still a nice cup of tea, though not my favourite. maybe tomorrow i can try this gonfu
I tried this one while I was picking up some teas for friends while in Chicago. I didn't purchase it because while it was a nice tea, there was nothing innately special about it. Part of the reason i had a taste while i was in the store, was because there's licorice in this blend and I wanted to know whether it was the sort that made the tea have a sickeningly sweet taste to it, or it was nicely blended lol. Turns out this is really nicely blended, but since it's a green tea, it'd have to knock my socks off for me to pick up 50g.
so fantastically happy that i picked up more of this over the weekend. I love this tea. Chestnut chocolate – reminds me of Paris. love.
i'm still always amazed at how different one vanilla tea can be from another. I still have a little trouble with these teas from laduree but they're still tasty enough that i am happy to have tried them. smooth base and great taste.
Lol, we've talked about it already, and she said the same thing as MzPriss. Ha! It's still good tea, and frankly… I'll use any excuse I can to get back to France. Fauchon can be it. :P
Yeah, I love the differences. The ice creamy, the vanilla beany, the cookie-like, the whipped creamy. Probably more than that, even!

The Use of ICT for the Assessment of Key Competences
This report assesses current trends in the area of ICT for learning and assessment in view of their value for supporting the assessment of Key Competences. Based on an extensive review of the literature, it provides an overview of current ICT-enabled assessment practices, with a particular focus on more recent developments that support the holistic assessment of Key Competences for Lifelong Learning in Europe. The report presents a number of relevant cases, discusses the potential of emerging technologies, and addresses innovation and policy issues for eAssessment. It considers both summative and formative assessment and considers how ICT can lever the potential of more innovative assessment formats, such as peer-assessment and portfolio assessment and how more recent technological developments, such as Learning Analytics, could, in the future, foster assessment for learning. Reflecting on the use of the different ICT tools and services for each of the eight different Key Competences for Lifelong Learning it derives policy options for further exploiting the potential of ICT for competence-based assessment.

Protect your access to public notices | EDITORIAL

Citizens should be aware of — and opposed to — House Bill 2801 and the provisions that would allow local governments to cease publishing public notices in their local newspapers. The presumed cost savings to local government is in fact false economy — there is a hidden and very dangerous cost. In trying to save money, local governments would curtail access to the legislative process, and ensure that fewer — rather than more — citizens know what their representatives are up to.

Followed the directions with one minor change - also seasoned with garlic powder. Came out perfectly! Did cut down the time to only 6 hours because the pork was falling apart. Served over rice and also on buns and Hawaiian Rolls. YUM!!! Husband and kids loved it. Tender, juicy, lots of flavor. Will make again!
My wife is down due to a knee injury, so I have been preparing our meals for the last week. Today I needed a easy meal to prepare so I could take care of household chores. I followed the directions, except we only had 1 1/2 onions and I had to run the crock pot on high for three hours then low for three since I started it a little late. It was still fall off the bone tender! I served it over fresh mashed potatoes with boiled sweet corn on the cob. Thank you so much for this fantastic meal, it was a winner!
So easy and yummy!My husband and three young children went on and on about how good this tasted!I followed the recipe exactly and it was falling off the bone and so tender!

Dragon Warrior 1 & 2* GBC

Dragon Quest 4 DS

Dragon Quest 6 DS
Dragon Warrior 7* PS1
Dragon Quest 8* PS2
Dragon Quest 9* DS
I must have been around 14 or 15 when I first had a taste of the popular Japanese RPG franchise. At this point I was pretty used to flashy RPGs like Final Fantasy and other Squaresoft games at the time. I decided to pick this game up because it was 2 RPGs in one and it had received pretty good reviews.
That little river separates you from the last boss. Right at the beginning of the game.
Dragon Warrior 2 was more of my cup of tea and I had no idea why. Maybe it was because there were multiple characters, an advertised bigger quest and it seemed more exciting. So I played a lot more of Dragon Quest 2 and after I had recruited all of my party members (for a total of 3) I realized two important things. The first reason I liked Dragon Warrior 2 more was because of how familiar it was. It was pretty much was like the first game in terms of how it was constructed just with additional characters. The second important thing I realized is that DW2 was ridiculously hard and required an absurd amount of grinding. Not only that but your two other characters are somewhat useless as they would always die pretty quick and just weren't as useful as your beastly main character (and all he could do was attack). I was used to easy RPG's like FF7 or so oddly I went back to...
Dragon Warrior 1 and now I loved it. I kind of felt bad-ass that I was on this journey solo, with only my weapons and magic and my goal was to get my princess back and that is what I did. The whole adventure had a nice charm to it, nothing to dramatic or just strange, and there was a somewhat easily obtainable maximum level (30 I believe) . So after slaying the typical dragon at the end, the game decided to reward you in one of the coolest ways possible. I get to carry the princess all the way back from the dragons lair to the home castle. It's kind of silly but it is a some what gratifying and memorable reward.
The Good: The series establishes its charms and solid RPG gameplay. Quirky and catchy music themes. 2 games in 1 cart.
The Bad: Dragon Warrior 1 is quite old, Dragon Warrior 2 is quite difficult, and I know it is Gameboy Color but the graphics could use a little improvement.
Interesting : Since Dragon Warrior 2 is a direct storyline sequel, once you aquire the ship you can visit the original continent of DW1 in DW2 with some towns and stuff from the DW1.
Dragon Warrior 3 is supposed to be considered one of the better games in the series and I agree although I did not play a whole lot of it. At the start of this game is that you are given a personality based on a number of questions (some of which make you really think) and then you are temporarily put in a situation which the game judges you. Some require you to be honest about something but mine was pretty cool. I was a monster and I could have burned an entire village or just run away and leave them alone. If I ran away I was valiant and had good stats, if I burned the village to kingdom come, I would have been evil and that makes the game a bit more challenging because of the level ups are not as beneficial. This game also allowed for a total of four characters, which you can pick and choose at a bar in the beginning of the game. This allowed for a team of your liking which was pretty cool ( but this was nothing new at the time because Final Fantasy had done this already).
They also stepped up the production values. This game had cleaner graphics and the monsters in battle had actually attack animations which made it a lot more fun to fight. The reason I never got around to completing the game was due to the fact that I had lost the game, and it didn't help that after I had acquired the ship, I just had no clue where to go.
The Good: Much improved Graphics, party customization, cool introduction, still that same good DW rpg mechanics.
The Bad: I wish I played more of it, sometimes it is difficult to know where to go. Wish we had the Super Nintendo version.
This game has: One of the greatest last boss themes ever.

Hey everyone, sorry that I haven't had much time to devote to 1UP. Like I mentioned in my last blog (which seems like ages ago now), my hours at work have been off the chart. I've been getting home somewhere between 8:00 and 8:30 every night, and by the time I eat dinner, the clock is usually hitting the 9 o'clock mark. I've been trying to be asleep by 10:30-11, so when you do the math, I don't have much time to really do all the things I want after work. I would love to come home, eat dinner, jump on 1UP to say hi to all of you, play some games and spend some time with Ky, and then go to sleep. Sounds awesome, right? Instead, my game playing has been pretty much limited to handhelds over the last few weeks, which is fine because I am enjoying what I'm playing. But I can't help but feel a tad disconnected from everyone since I haven't been on Live or PSN that much. Only a month and a half to go till the end of tax season! Oh, and I know it sounds like I am complaining, which I honestly feel bad for. I thank God every day that I have a job to wake up and go to. With the economy pretty much down the crapper right now, you can never be too sure, even if you do work in what is considered a secure line of work.
And despite the fact that I haven't been commenting on your blogs liked I had hoped, I've still been reading them. They come through Google Reader, I stop what I'm doing and enjoy the happenings you all share. If 1UP worked in my office a little better, I would love to comment on all them during my lunch break, but it doesn't, so I can't. The screen just never wants to reload properly upon hitting submit. What gives?
Ok, so this blog isn't a total bore, let's see if I can spruce it up a bit with I've been doing when I'm not working.
Like I said, I've been playing DS and PSP a lot more than I have my consoles. What have I been playing? Well, on the DS, it's been all about Chrono Trigger.
I distinctly remember playing this game for the very first time when I was sixteen years old. The damn cart for the Super NES was a whopping $80! I wanted the game for my birthday, but my Mom refused to spend over $60 on a video game. I couldn't blame her; Chrono Trigger was priced way higher than most games at that time. In order to get this game, I had to pay for the difference, which was fine by me considering that I had wanted the game for months. The advertisements in EGM for Chrono Trigger just looked so amazing. I'm glad the game held up to the hype I had set for it. I became so engulfed in it the night that I first played it that the next morning I convinced my Mom to let me to stay home from school so I could "clean my room because it was a mess." It took me thirty minutes or so to clean my room. Guess what I did for the rest of the day? You guessed right - played Chrono Trigger. The fact that I can remember so vividly my first experience playing this game says a lot about how truly amazing it is. There are only a handful of other games I can do that with.
I played through Chrono Trigger quite a few times on the Super NES, and despite the God-awful load times on the version that made up half of Final Fantasy Chronicles, I did the same again in 2001. Based on that, it should really come as no surprise that I'm hooked all over again with the DS version. I'll be honest, though. When I saw that some of the localization had been changed, I was rather put off. I mean, calling Magus the Fiendlord? Really? What happened to the Mystics and Frog's unique dialect? I just couldn't see a good reason for the changes. Well, after some Googling, I learned that the original US localization of Chrono Trigger wasn't as close to the original Japanese script as I thought. It turns out that the DS version had been given a revamped localization, which resulted in something much truer to the original script. After learning that, I was a bit more accepting of the changes, though I don't think I'll ever get used to them entirely.
I haven't finished the DS version of Chrono Trigger yet, but I am really looking forward to seeing the new ending and exploring the new areas they added to the game.
On the PSP, I've really gotten back into Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions. Despite owning a Greatest Hits version of the original PSone game, I had never played more than an hour of it until I got my hands on this remake. After investing about 11 hours with the game now, I can't believe it's taken me this long to play it. What a truly fantastic game this is. I haven't played Tactics Advance 2 yet, but I can firmly say that I enjoy the gameplay of The War of the Lions more than the first Tactics Advance. As for the story, well, considering the fact that I don't know how The War of the Lions ends yet, I'd say they're on with par with one another right now, though they are very different. I imagine I'll end up liking them both equally, though for different reasons.
Once tax season is over, I plan on finishing Fallout 3 and then starting Prince of Persia and Resistance 2, which have been sitting on the back burner since Christmas. I would start one of them tomorrow, but I think I would just ruin the experience for myself since the time I want to enjoy them just isn't available right now.
[Key Items]
- After some encouragement from fellow 1UP member, Cody, I decided to give Twitter a shot. I only update my status about once a day because I don't have much going on that's really all that exciting, but I've really enjoyed following others on the site. Right now, I'm following some 1UP friends and editors, both current and former, as well as the Diggnation and Totally Rad Show guys. If you're thinking about joining, feel free to follow me. My user name is my real name as one word: JayLauretta.
- Seeing the screens for Star Ocean: The Last Hope and having a copy of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time sitting on my shelf that a buddy of mine got me for Christmas years ago that I've never played has finally given me enough motivation to buy Star Ocean: The First Departure for the PSP. It may take a while, but I want to play them all in the order they were meant to be played in.
- I really want to play Street Fighter IV, but I'm stubborn. I've been going nuts looking for a MadCatz FightPad for the 360. We all know how much the 360 d-pad sucks, so I refuse to play the game with it. I've already made the mistake of trying to play HD Remix with it, so before I go fork over $60 for Street Fighter IV, I want to know I can play it the way I want to. It's no fun losing when you can't pull off special moves with the precise timing you need because of a faulty d-pad. If I can't find a FightPad, I'll eventually give in and get the game for the PS3. I would do it sooner, but I know more people who have the game on the 360, so I'm going to keep looking for the controller a bit longer.
- I'm picking up MLB '09: The Show tomorrow for the PS3. Any baseball video game fans out there?
- Since I can't comment on 1UP at lunch, I play Scrabble on Facebook instead. Feel free to challenge me for a game. You know how to find me.
That's all I have for you this time. Stay cool, 1UP. See ya when I see ya.

"Sit over here next to Johnathan (Bench)...sit right here, he's smart."--Sparky Anderson
With the anti-German hysteria as the U.S. entered the war on the side of England and France, the German language fell into little use. Up until then, it was still taught in both the public and private parochial schools. Likewise, many German named streets were renamed to more patriotic names. I don't remember the German name, but Liberty Avenue would be one such example.Quote:
Until World War One, if both parties of a legal proceeding agreed to it, the trial would be held in German.
Why did they stop then?
I always like to remind folks who complain about Spanish that German was spoken for decades after the first wave of folks from Germanic countries arrived here, with significant newspapers in German.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...883406,00.htmlNo novelty, night baseball was first tried at Fort Wayne, Ind. in 1883. In 1909, the first night game ever played on a major-league field took place on the same field as last week's, between Elks from Cincinnati and Newport, Ky. Wrote Reporter Jack Ryder in the Cincinnati Enquirer: "If the attempt is a success it is likely that every ball park in the major leagues will be equipped with lighting apparatus." In 1927, it began to look as if Ryder's premature prophecy might eventually come true, when minor leagues began to experiment seriously with night baseball. Depression encouraged the idea. By last season, 70 minor-league clubs had installed floodlights, found that night crowds equaled those on Sunday afternoons. Major-league owners have been talking night baseball since 1932. Last winter Powel Crosley, who bought the Cincinnati Reds the year before out of his radio and refrigerator profits, got permission to have his team play seven night games, one against each of the other teams in the league. He spent $62,000 installing the 363 lights on eight giant towers above the grandstand which, when the President switched them on, poured more than 1,000,000 watts down on his field last week. To spectators who had no difficulty reading scoreboards, the most startling fact about the field was that, due to the arrangement of the lights, the players cast no shadows.
"...You just have a wider lens than one game."
--Former Reds GM Wayne Krivsky, on why he didn't fly Josh Hamilton to Colorado for one game.
"...its money well-spent. Don't screw around with your freedom."
--Roy Tucker, on why you need to lawyer up when you find yourself swimming with sharks.
WLW was the only radio station in the US that transmitted at 500,000 watts. It was truly the Nation's Station.
For $2 you can go up to the roof of Carew Tower and look upon the city.
Up until recently, Cincinnati used to have these odd streets where there were 3 lanes of traffic. Two one way and one the other way. They would switch depending on the time of day so if you were going towards downtown in the morning, the right two lanes would be used for that traffic and the other one would be used for traffic coming from downtown. And vice versa in the afternoon. Queen Ciy Ave and Hopple St. were streets that did that.
There used to be a canal where Central Parkway is now. That's how Over The Rhine got that name; from the German settlers in that area.
During one of the first night games in 1935, a woman named Kitty Burke (No relation to our Kitty Duran) walked out onto the field, grabbed a bat out of the hands of Reds player Babe Herman and took her place in the batter's box against Paul "Daffy" Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals. After a few aborted attempts to pitch to her, Dean threw an underhanded pitch and Burke grounded to 1st. She was the only woman ever to bat in the major leagues. After her at bat, fans in the stands were overheard praising Ms. Burke for not striking out.
That $2 carew tower thing is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Things that I can take advantage of but wouldn't necessarily have known about. Cheers kids.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
The museums and exhibits of UC. Also at UC, the jazz faculty at CCM seem to always have some series cooking. They do big band, five piece, you name it. Always a treat. And cheap.
The Rhein and Englander Doll Collections at the public library downtown. My wife worked on this collection for a while- she said there are some dolls in it that are worth thousands.
And speaking of the downtown library, the rare book collection there is outstanding. They always have items exhibited, too.

Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.
1. I always heard that Leonard Slye, aka Roy Rogers, was born at the approximate location of second base at old Riverfront/Cinergy Field.
2. The German language newsapaper was still being published at least into the 1970s. I remember as a kid going to the home of a friend of my parents where the more elderly family members spoke German.
3. I remember hearing at one time that the subway tunnels were full of old army C-rations stored there by the Department of Civil Defense. You can have my share, thanks...

I dont know if you can still do it, but....
I loved going to Union terminal and going to the back of the building, Youd have to ask how to get to it. There is a big observation deck overlooking the train yard. It is really cool to watch all the switches and the loadings... Well if your into that sort of thing. I remember it either being free or cheap.

Yet, Retarded from "Up in It" still rings in my head everyday.Two classic albums (Congregation and the near-perfect Gentlemen) and a third that was very good (Black Love) made them a college radio fave in the mid-90's.

This may be common knowledge, but speaking of Union terminal, the beautiful murals in the entryway were commissioned by FDR's WPA.

Even though the basketball season for the Runnin' Rebels came to a close in early March, Carson Williams still had one more performance on his home court for Owen County basketball fans Thursday night.
Williams led the scoring effort by the senior team at the Kentucky All-Star Classic with a game-high 23 points. The seniors, who had a commanding 18-point lead at the half, defeated the junior team 121-87 when the final buzzer sounded.
The Maurice Bowling Middle School track team took part in the Middle School State Track Meet on Saturday at the University of Louisville.
The Owen County baseball team saw their season come to an end last Monday in Carrollton.
The Rebels took on Walton-Verona in the opening round of the Eighth Region Tournament. The two teams had split a pair of meetings during the regular season. The Bearcats would get the best of the Rebels defeating them 7-2 on Monday to advance to the semifinals and end Owen County's season. The game was the final contest for seniors, Michael Dunaway, Jacob Harris, Trevor Smith and Michael Stewart.
Homecoming is always a special night. It's made even better when the home team wins.
Owen County did not disappoint the big crowd that came out to Patterson Field Friday night. The Rebels defeated Pendleton County 42-14 to earn their first win of the season and give their head coach, T.J. Wesselman the first win of his career.
Owen County defeated Newport 8-6 last season in Owenton. l The Rebels enter the game looking for their third straight win over the Wildcats.
Newport is coached by Tim Viox who is in his second season.
Since 2008, Owen County is 1-3 in games played at Newport Stadium.
In four games this season, Newport has failed to score more than 16 points in a game.
Carroll County (2-3) hosts Walton-Verona (2-3) and Gallatin County (3-2) welcomes Trimble County (1-4) to Warsaw.
After playing two games that came down to the wire, the home opener for the Owen County Rebels did not provide the same type of late-game drama.
Owen County hosted Western Hills on Friday night at Patterson Field. The Rebels were looking to break a two-game losing streak to begin the season as well as snap a three-game losing streak against the Wolverines. Neither was to be.
The Owen County baseball team captured the 31st District Championship on Thursday night in the bottom of the ninth inning and they did not have to swing the bat.
Nolan Tackett worked a two-out, bases loaded walk to score Cameron McAnally from third base to give the Rebels a 2-1 win over Henry County at Dunavent Field late Thursday evening. The win earned Owen County their first 31st District title since 2013.
Adding to his list of basketball accolades this season, Carson Williams is a state champion high jumper.
The senior set a personal best on Saturday at the KHSAA Class A State Track Meet in Lexington. Williams' mark of 6 feet 2 inches was better than that of Fulton County's Devonte Harper who was unable to clear the height.
Head coach Sean Cockrell said he and Williams had worked hard in practice all week leading up to Saturday's competition.
A season that began with a win at Frankfort in March ended with a loss in Carrollton in May.
The Lady Rebels saw their 2016 season come to a close last Monday night in the semifinals of the 31st District Tournament in Carrollton to the Lady Panthers. Carroll County defeated Owen County 6-1. The loss came exactly a month after the Lady Panthers knocked off the Lady Rebels 10-5 also in Carrollton.
Henry County would go on to the beat Carroll County 15-2 in the championship game to win their second straight district title.

I recently had a friend install a Cygnos V2 (rev D) into my falcon elite, and everything went as planned. Last week, we attempted to do another elite with another Cygnos chip, and we didn't have similar luck. Here's a breakdown:
- both elites purchased the same week back in either 2007 or 2008 (can't remember exactly).
- both had not been online since before summer 2009, so they were running the 7xxx dash.
- both Cygnos chips were ordered same time, from the same website, however mine (working) came with 1.02 and the other with some variant of 1.03. Flashed both with fw 1.03b2 as I found it more stable than 1.03 final.
- both installs done without resisters (using 1.03 wiring), and both Cygnos chips were fw flashed to 1.03b2 at the mid-point of each install (just before wiring jtag).
- both installs done by the same person (my friend), using the same wires, same solder iron/materials, etc. All points that could easily be checked at both ends with a multimeter were, and wires were kept as short as possible (shorter on the non-working 360 than my own, actually).
With the non-working 360, when attempting to read the xbox nand, it gets part way through and fails with a read error. On each retry it either says it can't identify the flash/flash brand and fails, or gets to a different part of the read and hits an error. When attempting to boot with the chip off (so untouched xbox nand only), it gets a quarter to half-way through the boot animation and fails out with an E79.
I've already taken the 360 apart again, but my friend hasn't had time to redo/check his soldering work again. If anyone knows what parts we should look at first vs redoing the whole thing, it would be a great help to both of us.
Thanks in advance

CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) - The Carlsbad school board revoked a policy that charged the public $1 per page for copies of documents related to school business.
The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, the Carlsbad Current-Argus and other groups had criticized the cost.
Current-Argus Publisher Sammy Lopez told the board Tuesday that the $1 fee was outrageous and that documents should be provided at no charge.
He suggested that to understand the burden placed on the public, each school board member pay $96 - the copying costs for documents included in their school board packets.
School board member Noel Clark called the policy's removal a good-faith gesture. Board president Joe Sharp agreed.
"I like the idea of someone being able to come in and get documents they are entitled to for free," Sharp said. "The stuff that started the $1 per page policy was abuse, but I don't think we should penalize the nonabusers."

We do not ship on major holidays; orders placed on major holidays will be shipped the next business day.
