Hemorrhoids are vascular cushions in the anal canal. People are normally born with hemorrhoids, and the presence of hemorrhoids does not imply disease. However, hemorrhoids typically cause symptoms when they enlarge over time. There are two types of hemorrhoids- External Hemorrhoids and Internal Hemorrhoids.
Current minimally invasive technologies for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids are associated with several drawbacks that include high rate of recurrence and a need for repetitive procedures, frequent post-procedural pain or significant discomfort, intra-operative pain and technically demanding. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the HET Bipolar System is safe and effective in the treatment of Stage I and Stage II hemorrhoids (internal hemorrhoids). The HET Bipolar System is a new alternative device for the minimally invasive treatment of Stage I and Stage II hemorrhoids that incorporate design features with the intent of resolving each of the major limitations of currently available technology.

|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Device: HET Bipolar System
In this study, the investigators will use the HET Bipolar System for the treatment of Stage I and Stage II hemorrhoids, where significant tissue prolapse is not present. The hemorrhoids are treated by bipolar ligation of the superior hemorrhoidal blood supply.
Each prospective subject will be screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria at least one week prior to treatment. All patients undergoing treatment will review and sign the study Informed Consent prior to their procedure.
One to three internal hemorrhoids will be treated in one therapeutic session. The number will be based on the investigator's judgment of which quadrants are symptomatic. Evaluations will be recorded for all treated subjects immediately following treatment. Subjects will be followed at 1, 3, and 6 months post procedure unless complications are reported between scheduled follow-up dates. At each post treatment follow-up, a report will be made of pain/discomfort, bleeding, medication use, itching, presence of adverse events or complications and need for supplemental treatment. Face-to-face follow-up evaluations will include anoscopic evaluation and assessment of hemorrhoid and other relevant symptoms.

The best movies or more emotionally frightening and satisfying films are about co-dependence. Someone cannot live without The Other. The Other is unavailable. The enabler tries to shape his or her image to reflect The Other, and to gain their respect or approval, which is not forthcoming. Generally, the one seeking approval is a woman. She has no "self"–or no self worth knowing–without earning the satisfaction of The Other. Sometimes she earns her beloved's approval, but this comes about through great odds, not least of which is the woman's self-respect, which she disposes with in order to be what the Other requires: a mirror, not a self. She loves The Other, which he or she cannot understand. In any case, the self-sacrificing nature of the enabler's love is often abhorrent to the recipient. Sometimes he's blocked from loving the co-dependent woman because he's a sociopath, or suffers from amnesia.
In 1942's chilling, "Random Harvest," Greer Garson is moved to various extremes to prove her love for Ronald Coleman, who does not know her–he's an amnesiac. But Garson–a music hall dancer who leaves the stage to orchestrate the drama of her man's life–spares no emotional expense in order to help Coleman find his self, which exists, but only in fragments. If one has been in a similar relationship in what is sometimes referred to as real life, "Random Harvest," feels like a monster flick, and the monster is one's own dog-like sincerity in loving, and looking after, The Other, and that being the defining impulse. In Alfred Hitchcock's "Spellbound" (1942), Ingrid Bergman plays a version of the Garson character–and herself: a woman who believes in a controversial man (Gregory Peck), who's hunted and haunted–the American version of her Italian lover, Roberto Rosseillini, whom she would meet seven years later. Playing a shrink, Bergman's husky, haunted voice narrates her various discoveries as she goes along. Peck is not an amnesiac, but he might as well be: he's repressed his painful memories–memories that might prove he's not a murderer, and Bergman makes his problems, his issues, the uncovering of his true self, fifteen minutes into the film. Peck kisses her, and her libidinal doors are opened, immediately. Anything is worth having that feeling again. Is that not true love? Taking him on, Bergman and Peck are pursued by disbelieving fellow shrinks, and the police. (Their love is suspicious to the world, and to Peck. Bergman's character is "innocent" of such guile.) In their shared danger, Peck lashes out at his accomplice, his only ally, because her selflessness is suffocating. Still, Bergman is a shrink, and can take it, and continually understand her lover/patient's disgust because it can be relegated to self-disgust. But it's not. Peck's rage towards this woman is as real as his dreams. In any case, Bergman's real role, it seems, is to rebuild Peck's character over and over again, especially as he crumbles and is rebuilt and crumbles again. In this film, Bergman's character knows who she is, but there is no value to her self-knowledge because she has no worth apart from her man, who, even after he is made well, might very well fall off his trolley again. But that's another part of the story, to be seen in the next, unfilmed reel.

Luxury Tennis Jewelry Anyone?
SAN DIEGO (MainStreet) -- Playing tennis doesn't require the right luxury jewelry as an accessory.
But as anyone familiar with tennis knows, what tennis players wear on the court gets nearly as much attention as what celebrities wear down the red carpet.
"Attire on the tennis court is extremely important. There's tons of coverage of what players are going to be wearing. And a lot of women are playing in jewelry," tennis jewelry designer Hazel Nussbaum says.
It's just one of the reasons Nussbaum, 34, a brand manager and marketing professional by trade, said goodbye to her high-paying corporate lifestyle at Unilever
The move was inspired by several things, including Nussbaum's own search for appealing tennis jewelry.
"I wanted to buy something nice for myself. And I couldn't find anything. Everything was cheap or gaudy and ugly, in my opinion," Nussbaum continues.
Her solution was to begin designing her own tennis jewelry. Just last week Nussbaum launched the "London Collection," her third line of designs, to celebrate Wimbledon 2013. The collection includes tennis bracelets, necklaces and earrings designed by Nussbaum and handcrafted in sterling silver, gold or platinum.
Before London, there was Paris and New York. Each of her collections are inspired by, and named after, the location of a grand slam tennis event.

School dress codes aren't just for students anymore, reports USA Today. More schools are adopting dress codes for teachers.
When kids in one Kansas school district return to class this fall, they won't be seeing cutoff shorts, pajama pants or flip flops — on teachers.
. . . Jeans are banned in at least one elementary school in New York City. A school district in Phoenix is requiring teachers to cover up tattoos and excessive piercings. And several Arizona schools are strictly defining business casual.
Nineteen percent of schools require uniforms for students, double the rate of 10 years ago, reports the National Center for Education Statistics.

In short: I never realised how little oxygen there was in the atmosphere till I did this. Sign me up for 2012.Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: Great - just great!In full: Had a great time - aching too much to write really, but just wanted to congratulate everyone involved on what was a splendid event. Had a fab time, though will never EVER attempt to run a course like this in a cardboard box again.....the steps near the end were killer as the box kept bouncing off my knees and jabbing me in the chin.....the good news is I only vomited in my mouth once.... :)Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: Very DisappointingIn full: This being the 4th knacker Cracker i have done, i found the new format (ie mass start) very underwelming. It was quite lonely near the back with no atmosphere at all (quite unlike the 3 previous years).But the worst bit is to finish, and be told we have run out of medals and 't' shirts..... quite unbelievable! And the people behind me would not even have got a mug. (thats an expensive 10k with only a mug to show for it)At the finish everyone had gone as well so no great atmosphere here either.That aside the marshals were as great as usual and the costumes(that i could see) must have given the walkers a few shocks.I have left not knowing if i want to do it next year!Date of review: January 1, 2011
In full: well worth leaving new year party early at 10am to take part in run.Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: Hilly. Hard. Amazing Fun! In full: Another great Trionium race and a great way to kick start the year. Fresh air, great scenery, long hills (you will be walking at points!) and a fabulous atmosphere. Be warned, if you don't turn up in fancy dress (even just a hat) you will be the odd one out! All levels and abilities welcomed and I will be back next year. Thanks to all the marshsalls who make these races possible. Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: Awesome againIn full: Felt even harder than last year but maybe that's just the passage of time dulling the pain. Excellent organisation, great marshalls, very silly costumes. Splendid.Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: First time of doing this race and I thought it was excellent. Thanks to all marshalls and volunteers. Will definitely be back next year.Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: Best way to start the year !In full: Absolutely great - proves that a race can be tough and fun at the same time. Great organization, friendly crowd with lots of kids goggling at the grownups in daft costumes, super mementoes and the hot soup and roll at the end was a lifesaver. Thanks to Dr. Rob and team for a fantastic start to the year.Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: Fantastic race as usual. Great fancy dress. Nice soup and cheese rolls at the end.In full: The best way to start the new year. Great organisation and a tough but enjoyable course. It was good to go across the stepping stones this year. Thanks to the marshalls and to Dr Rob and family for organising the race.Date of review: January 1, 2011
In short: my 5th knacker cracker ! well what else would you do on new years day ?In full: as always dr.rob and his team have put on another fantastic event, the atmosphere was excellent it makes you wonder how such a tough run can be such fun ! this years fancy dress outfits were brilliant and having dressed up the last 2 years it makes such a difference its like being a happy go lucky little kid again which is why the race is great FUN. another great t-shirt and medal and heat colour changing mug which did freak me out as i thought dr.robs mum must have put something herbal in the soup !!! mant thanks toa ll invovled with the organisation of this great race and to all the friendly marshalls. see you all again next year !Date of review: January 1, 2011

The UNC System has acquired a site license for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). This site will help you get familiar with this product and what you need to do to access RHEL. We will cover access for NC State University and universities that access RHEL from the UNC GA directly. Other universities in the UNC System may have their own access methods, so talk to your local IT staff.
For NC State there will also be some snippets of information about Realm Linux, which is based on RHEL products, where it differs from these access methods.
The Red Hat Network (RHN) controls access to errata, security updates, and is what keeps track of our usage of RHEL. Below are the guide lines for acquiring an RHN account to register and manage a collection of RHEL or Realm Linux machines.
Starting in the summer of 2013 our site wide Red Hat contract includes access to Red Hat Support. Please see Support for details on accessing Red Hat Support services.
As of May, 2005 all RHEL machines under the UNC System contract must use one of the RHN Satellites (or an RHN Proxy) rather than Red Hat's hosted RHN service. This is part of our contractual agreement with Red Hat. The following will help you get setup with NC State University's RHN Satellite or the UNC GA Satellite although other universities in the system may have their own Satellite.
At NC State University you will need an RHN account to deploy and maintain RHEL. Realm Linux doesn't require you to have an RHN account but you may find some of the features useful. RHN accounts are restricted to full time IT staff and those sponsored by a full time IT staffer. Your account and password will be the same as your Unity user name and password. The NCSU RHN Satellite URL is below.
When installing Realm Linux with Web-Kickstart you are not required to have an RHN account. You will only need an RHN Activation Key used to register the machine with RHN. These keys are usually specific to an IT group so you or another member of the group may be responsible for acquiring these keys and access to RHN.
Accounts on the GA Satellite are provided for IT staffers at UNC universities that participate in the Red Hat contract and do not have their own RHN Satellite or RHN Proxy. Normally, one or two full time IT staffers at each university are chosen to lead the Red Hat infrastructure for that university and are given permissions to create further accounts for others at the same university. These people serve as the local contact point for accounts and RHN support.
As the GA Satellite is shared between multiple universities we issue user names that start with the abbreviation of the university. For example:
Where jjneely is my username at NC State University. Your password is also unique to the GA Satellite. Groups inside the RHN server are named in a similar way. For example the PAMS Computer Operations unit at NC State might have the following as their group name:
All universities must have a set of groups and each registration or machine must be in one, and only one, RHN group. This is easily handled by making sure that all RHN accounts are setup with 2 explicit settings. Under the System Groups tab for that RHN account there must be one or more groups assigned to that user. This controls what machines that user can see and manage. At the bottom of the System Groups page there is a setting for "Default System Group." This must be set to one, and only one, of the groups that the RHN user has access to. These are marked in the list with an asterisk.
The GA Satellite is located here:
To initiate a request for an RHN account please send an email to
with the following information:
You will receive an automated confirmation with a support ticket number shortly.
The RHEL CD ISO images are available for UNC System IP addresses. If you are on a campus you should be able to download the ISOs from the following web site.
DVD ISO images are available for UNC System IP addresses via BitTorrent. You will find the torrents on this website.
Once your RHEL machine is installed, or perhaps from the Kickstart for automated installations, you need to configure your machine to use the correct RHN Satellite. You can do this by installing one of the following RPM packages depending on the Satellite you will use.
If you install RHEL manually (not using a Kickstart) you will be prompted to register the machine with RHN during the graphical boot process. This tool does not have the ability to properly configure your machine for the NCSU or UNC GA RHN Satellite. Please skip that step read onwards.
These packages will install the SSL certificate for a specific RHN Satellite and alter your system's configuration to point to this Satellite. Also, RPM PGP keys will be imported that can be used to verify this RPM and any future updates. A Yum repository will also be configured so that your machine will pull down future versions of the configuration package in case an important bit of the configuration needs updating like the SSL certificates.
There is a specific RPM package for each supported RHEL version and each Satellite. The command to install the correct package is given below.
NC State University:
rpm -ihv \
rpm -ihv \
For RHEL 5 you will also need an Installation Number. Use one of the following:
NC State University:
rpm -ihv \
rpm -ihv \
Now that your machine is properly configured you must register your machine with RHN to receive updates and security errata. To do so, as root, run:
This will prompt you graphically or via the text console with several questions to get you registered.
To register inside a script or a Red Hat Kickstart use:
This program has many options documented in its man page.
man rhnreg_ks
Our contract with Red Hat requires that the number of people with permission to raise support queries with Red Hat be limited. Not all holders of RHN accounts will be able to create Red Hat support tickets. Therefore, support questions should first be addressed internally before elevated to Red Hat.
If you require assistance getting RHEL setup or have other support inquiries please contact your campus RHEL and RHN support personnel using your university's preferred support ticket tracking tool. Each campus should have 1 or 2 people designated as their Red Hat administrators and they should be able to elevate support tickets if they cannot solve them locally.
The UNCHREL mailing list is where maintenance and various changes with our Red Hat infrastructure are announced and discussed. You may also use that list for internal support. You may post by sending mail to:
For NC State University support tickets can be created by emailing:
Other universities may also use that email address to create a support ticket inside NC State Universities ticket tracking tool. We will attempt to find the right person at your university to handle your request.

Alice G. Walton
Donald Sterling's racist outburst the other day left a lot of people bewildered and angry
The media pounced and, of course, made an example of him. It's hard to believe, after all, that this kind of thing is happening today, given how far the country has come in some ways. But before you dismiss the Sterling rant as a one-off occurrence from a crotchety old man, think about this: There's some good scientific evidence that prejudice is still happening in otherwise very progressive arenas. For example, it may be going on at even the most prestigious academic institutions in the country.
Last week, NPR had a story on the prejudice that can occur among faculty members in doctoral programs. The University of Pennsylvania researchers sent beautifully worded emails to the doctoral faculty at 250 schools, pretending to be students. The emails indicated how much they admired the faculty members' work, and asked whether they'd have time for a meeting. The names of the (fake) students were designed to sound Caucasian, African-American, Latino, Indian, and Asian. The researchers wanted to see if there were any differences in the likelihood of the faculty responding.
And the results were fairly discouraging: Minorities and women got far fewer responses, with Asian students getting the fewest. Private schools were more likely to show these biases than public ones. And, amazingly, the race and gender of the faculty member didn't much matter—for example, an African-American professor wasn't any more likely than a Caucasian one to answer an email from an African-American student.
Funnily (or not), though bias existed across many disciplines, it was stronger in some. "The very worst in terms of bias is business academia," author Katherine Milkman told NPR. "So in business academia, we see a 25 percentage point gap in the response rate to Caucasian males vs. women and minorities."
Whether or not this kind of bias happens on a conscious or subconscious level is not exactly clear, but, based on research from Booth, the odds are good that it's the latter. Marianne Bertrand has found that when HR personnel evaluate resumes, they show exactly the same kinds of bias for "white-sounding" names found in the UPenn study. Even judges show a clear racial bias when making sentencing decisions. And research by Eugene Caruso found that people's political beliefs can actually affect how they see biracial political candidates' skin tone. If people agree with a biracial candidate's political beliefs, they're more likely to see them as lighter than they are—if they disagree, they're more likely to see the candidates as darker. Though political beliefs are likely conscious choices, their effect on our perception of skin tone is likely happening below our radar, so to speak.
So Sterling-like outbursts may be rare, but it's the subtler, subconscious biases that may be more concerning. If we're not even aware of some of our biases, it might be harder to shift them. Other Booth researchers are looking at these very issues—so stay tuned. We'll look into these questions more closely in the coming weeks.

Paying teachers more for a master's degree wastes money, conclude researchers Marguerite Roza and Raegen Miller in Separation of Degrees by the Center on Reinventing Public Education and the Center for American Progress.
On average, master's degrees in education bear no relation to student achievement. Master's degrees in math and science have been linked to improved student achievement in those subjects, but 90 percent of teachers' master's degrees are in education programs — a notoriously unfocused and process-dominated course of study.
In New York, 78 percent of teachers hold master's degrees, costing an extra $416 per student or $1.12 billion a year.
Teacher pay should be aligned to their ability to boost student achievement, Roza and Miller conclude.
On City Journal, Sol Stern has "seven achievable reforms" in the New York City teachers' union contract.
. . . (Mayor) Bloomberg's six-year school-spending binge . . . fattened the education budget from $12.7 billion in 2003 to $21 billion this year — probably the greatest increase by a school district in the history of American education. The UFT was complicit in the spending, since it reaped a 43 percent across-the-board pay raise for teachers, an identical hike for the union's executives and managers, and a commensurate increase in union dues.
One suggestion is to tear up the "irrational salary schedule" and replace it with "a formula that plausibly links pay raises to real academic accomplishment and classroom skills."

Posted on 12/06/2012 4:56:30 PM PST by Kartographer
Do you ever get the feeling that youll never be fully prepared? That its impossible to reach the level of preparedness you feel others may have or that youd like to attain? Well youre not alone. Lots of preppers have had those same thoughts. But dont let it freeze you up and keep you from trying or send you to the depths of prepper despair. There are a few truths about preparedness that everyone should know.
(Excerpt) Read more at foodstorageandsurvival.com ...
Do you bug out? Or do you bug in? and so on an so forth. It's a gamble, but training, skill and the right preps give you options that someone who does not prep will not have. Prepping allows you much more freedom of choice and does not tether the fate of you and your family to the whims of bureaucratics and Politico's.
As I have said many times: "Its your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national news. How do you think that will workout for you?"
Preppers' PING!!
Preppers' PING!!
Canning, my friend, canning is the key. Almost everything in your freezer can be canned. You can can easily when power is unavailable, and the results of your efforts will be available years after the power is gone.
As crazy as you might think this guy is there are thousands in NY/NJ that if they had been only half as prepared as this guy wouldn't be living in near the misery that they are in now.
How Horrific Will It Be For The Non-Prepper?
Yeah, just remember Sandy and Katrina! How'd that work for those poor SOBs?
Who said I think he's crazy?
Urban Survival: Food Storage for Apartment Dwellers
Didn't mean you personally, but just that this guy has become the poster child for the anti-prepper crowd.
Look what is happening right before your eyes and take heed. Theres a Great Storm coming you can feel it.
Listen to what the bible says: A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. NIV Proverbs 22:3
One of the things that will hurt is the fact that many will not except that a breakdown is occurring even as they watch it happening before their eyes. Why dont they realize it?Its caused by a condition called Normalcy Bias a mental state people enter when facing a disaster.
It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation.
A good article on Normalcy Bias is on our own ChocChipCookies Blog The Survival Mom:
You either prepare and stand on your own beholden to no one or you become dependent on others to provide your basic needs and become their serf. Me I dont want to be beholden to anyone for providing what is needed for me and mine. I certainly dont want to have to kiss some gubberment third class bureaucratic to try and coax some help from them, I dont want some jack booted thug herding me in line and telling me where to stand, sit, eat or sleep. And last but not least I dont want to be shut up in with a bunch of zombies and have to worry about not only trying to get basic necessities but having to fight to keep what I manage to get.
Its your choice you can prep or you can stand around on a bridge waiting for FEMA to bring you a bottle of water, a MRE, a warm blanket and a kiss for your boo-boo and maybe you can even get your picture as you stand there on the national news.
For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpful. You can download it at:
For those of you who havent started already its time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, a extra couple changes of oil and filters for your car, tools, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.
Again I like to recomend FReepers ChocoChipCookie Blog The Survival Mom (Please Blog Police let this one slide!) Where you can get lots of useful information like:
And More
There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger.
Underestimation can be fatal.
Did you see the last episode of Doomsday Preppers?
Thank you. Very helpful information and ideas at both links.
Stopped watching it sometime ago. As far as I am concerned the series is propaganda for anti-prepper crowd. And the only lesson worth learning from watch it is how not to handle OPSEC.
check these out from time to time:
Again, thank you.
Nevertheless, you should see it as "entertainment".
BTW, I'm a "prepper" and appreciate your posts.
Great resources. Thanks for posting.
That's ok. I rather watch old reruns of 'Firefly'. NOW THAT'S Entertainment!
A short but sad story my FRiend.
A week ago woke up to the power off. Happens here all the time so no big deal right?
Even though I have a hundred flashlights I couldn't find a one. All the candles we have? They were hiding somewhere.
Went out to start the generator and found out I have left the gas turned on and had lost two gallons into the soil.
Finally got gas in generator but could not find an extension cord to run into the house. Finally found one, got the coffee going and—————the lights came back on.
Oh yeah. I'm real prepared.
(I won't tell anyone about the time I shot my water hose thinking it was a snake)
Well, I have concentrated mostly on better preparations for tornadoes and electrical outages which are not unusual here in Missouri.
With the high price of gasoline and the crash of 2008, it was so reminiscent of the kick off to the great inflation era, that I doubled down on aquiring all the food we normally purchase, in addition to taking some cash and investing to create a hedge against the loss of purchasing power.
A concern over the safety of our food supply with infectious or poisonous things/pesticides, as well as concern over ability to be able to continue purchasing the food we need led me to gardening for real vs a hobby of just a few items.
I found some books that detail plans for several ways to provide complete nutrition based on less acreage than commercial methods need. I have begun exploring not only canning, but dehydration, root cellars, seed saving etc.
I have no doubts that we can do it. I was talking about a cistern we had at Granny's when I was a child and wishing we had one. Hubby made fun. Last summer's drought demonstrated that our current rain barrel catchement was not sufficient. Now he would like a cistern too.
Due to cost, we decided to buy a pool on sale at summer's end to hold about 5000 gallons to use on the garden. Now that Obama is re-elected, I feel that we are more likely than not to experience a collapse similar to Argentina, so am more concerned about the #1 item potable water.
I really really want to have the well water available for drinking short, medium, and long term just in case. For most situations we just fill up additional buckets to drain the lines and consider the water heater as the next line of defense. In the 46 years, we have never even had to use the water from the hot water heater.
So I would like a simple switch that would allow the pump to run off a generator, or solar powered inverter or something. Hubby says he can rig something up easy if we need it long term, but what if he's stranded somewhere and can't get back?
Or maybe a way to install a manual pump, but again we need to go with the cheapest option, and simplest if I am to get Hubby to take action. I would be happy to live off grid and not have electric bills to pay.LOL.
I think in a financial crisis, our biggest threat is losing the house, since we are still paying on the mortgage. We both get small social security checks, but Hubby has a decent pension. So I am still thinking about the options there. So the first 2 items on my list can't be crossed off and are not as prepped as I would like.
But when it comes to food, I am feeling pretty good so far.
Our backyard is full of Fruit and Nut Trees, berry bushes, grape vines, persimmon tree, and lots of wild edibles in addition to strawberry patch and other garden spaces.
Some of the neighbors are great others not great, but better than those in our other options. Plus our children and grand children are here, and house would not be too crowded if they all moved in.
So yeh, it does seem that one thing leads to another, and prepping always has just a few more items to explore. LOL.
If you're wearing only leather britches and caning your green beans, that could be S&M.
"A short but sad story my FRiend....."
That was YOU? Hey - I think I live right next to you!!!
Could be my friend..Could be
Speaking of water wells. When I was a kid, "they" decided there were too many not so good eating fish in the river so "they" spent who knows how many tax dollars to poison the not so good fish. I still remember watching the helicopters dumping whatever chemical it was. Well, duuuuuh, both the good and not so good fish ALL died. People were swarming around grabbing the fish as they drifted to the top of the water and taking them home to eat.... Crazy. You get one guess about the water wells near the river. My family was worried about our well so went a friend's well that was deeper than ours to get water. Of course, here's another duuuuuuuh. The poison had spread into the ground water and depth doesn't mean anything so we all got sicker than dogs. Everyone was sick so no one could help us and we didn't have any water to drink to help flush the poison out. Thank goodness for the stash of tp and home canned chili. It was years before I could stomach chili again but I'm getting a bit nauseated just thinking about it. Sure, the EPA would go bonkers over such practices these days but I don't put it past some in our current government or the terrorist groups they pander to to pull carp like this.
Well, the situation could be very dire indeed for someone that had absolutely no prep and was stuck in the city in some high rise apartment building.
However, out here in flyover country, where lots of people have homes beyond city sewers and water services, it is a better scenario.
As to electricity, my grandparents lived without when they were growing up. Unless you are on oxygen 24/7 or some other situation, it is not a necessity except for the well pump, and that can be prepped for in several ways as can the oxygen generator.
Would it be missed? Yes. I would miss it for running the refrigerator and having ice cubes available. I would miss it for the air conditioner and fans. All the other stuff is nice, but I would not miss as much.
So we all go back to living like the pioneers or early 20th century, for a long long long time, that's ok, we can do it out here in flyover country with our bitter clingers to guns and our religion. We can do it better than many.
You do what you can. But you don't do nothing because you can't do everything.
I'd like to build a compound off the grid. Not going to happen unless I win the lotto.
But, in the last 2 years I have gradually stocked up with at least 6 months of non perishable food that does not require refrigeration and the means to cook it without power. I am well prepared defensively and have come a long way in my competence with a variety of home defense "implements".
I have stockpiled essential medications, prescription and non prescription.
IMO, with any disaster, man made or nature, every week you survive in the initial stages dramatically increases your odds of long term survival. The completely unprepared are going to get weeded out fairly quickly.
However, no matter how well prepared you are, you must look inside yourself and realize there will be very tough and painful decisions ahead. Particularly when the unprepared around you figure out that you are not unprepared.
Fortunately I live in a small town and we are not too close to a major city. More than likely, staying would be a better option than bugging out, especially with some defensive capabilities.
Laz, have you read the two links posted by Kartographer on post no. 12? It's about prepping if you have an apartment. There might be some suggestions there that would be meaningful to you.
Prepping never ends. I started in 1998. One day, I got a pad and pen and wrote down, from the time I got out of bed, how it would be if I had no power. Bathroom was first, what wouldn't work and what I had to do to make it work.
I went through the whole day doing that. Then, I stopped to wash some clothes and thought, damn, how am I going to wash clothes? That day was the beginning for me and I set about to find a solution for every problem I had for that day.
As the years went by, new products were developed that were much better than I had, so I would update and get those new, better products. If they weren't better, just new, I didn't get them.
We come to today and I'm still updating and storing. So, it never ends for me but with every new can of food or product, it's a good feeling - it is not a chore, it's a blessing I have another can of food or another small propane bottle for my outdoor oven or my "safe to use indoors" propane heater.
Where did you get my picture?!
Now you can rig up almost any pot with a lid to distill the water into a cup. Also there is the solar pit method which involves a pit, container, plastic sheet, and rock.
I have actually been looking recently at some distillation apparatus that could be used to make ethanol, but wondering if it could also be used to distill water? Water is still at the top of my long term prep list, and I haven't yet decided on the best solution. The really small still wasn't that expensive. Held 7 gallons of mash and could produce 1 gallon of ethanol per batch. Feds are picky about letting anyone do this though.
We used to distill stuff in Chemistry lab all the time, but I don't remember any of it now, it was too long ago.LOL.
Even in the drought last summer, our central air pulled 5 to 10 gallons of water per day from the air, which we used in the garden. That would provide enough drinkig water for my entire family with some left over though.
Gives me the idea to look at dehumidifiers since it is not likely that central air would be available in a major long term grid down situation. We have already decided to get an inexpensive solar powered inverter to recharge batteries etc, especially if we happen to camp out on our property. However, maybe it would also run a dehumidifier in case we needed to manufacture our own water. Mmmmh. Food for thought? I am thinking it could work. Going to have to look into it a little more.
I don't get that channel. What was the episode about?
Well, that sounds interesting. Wonder if I can find some schematics to show Hubby? LOL
Steve, I had to leave the house fast with a sick husband, (I wrote about that on one of these threads), and the house was dark and I didn't know where a flashlight was. That was a terrible time and won't happen again. On the floor by my chair where I am sitting right now, is a battery lantern. If the lights go out, I reach down and pick it up and hit the switch and the darkness goes away. Pick the flashlight or lantern you want and put it close to where you always sit so you can get to it without having to get up. Stumbling around in the dark looking for a flashlight is dangerous.
ACCIDENTS: I have friends that live in the Texas hill country. The husband recently had a heart cath and a stent put in, so he's not a healthy individual.
A few days ago, he took cans or something to the recycle place in their county. He uses a camera in his work and it was in the low storage place on the driver's side door. When he got out, his shoe caught in the strap of the camera and he fell flat on his face. He was in a big truck so he fell some distance to the concrete. His chin had a messy cut and his glasses cut places on his face.
Someone called 911 and they x-rayed his ribs and they were bruised but not broken. His chin required stitches. He was just getting over a cold so he wasn't feeling great to start with. His day stopped right there.
Accidents happen so suddenly and nothing is the same immediately after the accident. I think we don't give enough thought to what can happen "accidentally" and what we would do about it if there was no help available.
If no help was available, what would you have done if a member of your family was the one who had this accident and you were the only one to take care of him/her? How will you close the wound on the chin? Since you don't know if there is a broken rib, how do you handle that problem? Remember a broken rib can puncture a chest cavity if the person moves around to cause that to happen if it hasn't already happened.
And, check what is in the storage place of all the doors in your car/truck. Is there anything that could catch a foot and throw the person to the ground?
I keep stumbling on things I need to do. It drives my wife crazy sometimes. We were in a store buying her some cloth and I brought up a couple of magnifying glasses for her to add to her purchases. She asked why. I said to start fires. She said she had put away some matches, I said that after the matches ran out the magnifying glasses would work. The amazing thing is that it is fun and sort of like detective work or solving puzzles.
"If youre wearing only leather britches and caning your green beans, that could be S&M."
Please don't ask what he wears in summer.....
Solving puzzles may be why I am a good prepper because I am a problem solver, have been all my life. I figure I can solve most anything - all I have to do is find the answer as it is somewhere. I am not a person who gives up if a problem arises. As you think of it, it is detective work/solving puzzles. Your purchase of the magnifying glasses gives you fire forever. Keep solving those problems.
Very good advice Marcella thank you.
Yes. You might THINK your prepared but when it actually happens———. Yeah.
I will take you advice and thank you
A very good site.

As you learned, turning off your generator's fuel petcock is crucial. This should really be how you turn off your gasoline generator, so you get as much gas out of the carburetor as possible for storage. I almost never use the kill switch on mine.
I bought a generator online that should be fairly adequate for my needs (fridge +) for only $400, new in box, shipped free to my doorstep.

The Creators Project: Hi. What was the hip-hop scene like back when you first came to the states and started spinning records?
Mark Ronson: Hip-hop was in an amazing place at that point. You had the first Wu-Tang album, Biggie, and all that Bad Boy stuff was about to come. You had Blackstreet, Dre on the West Coast. I had been playing guitar for about 5 or 6 years at that point and it was like, "I don't need this. This is too much fun." I started playing clubs in New York.
Did you get an early recognition?
Suddenly Puffy and Biggie and Jay-Z were coming down and we're like, "How the fuck did they find out about our shit?" Puffy took a liking to the way I DJed or something. He liked the cut of my jib? And he took me around the world and I remember DJing a DiAngelo party with Mos Def on the mic and I was like "Holy fuck, like these are the people I DJ because I love their music and here they are at these parties that I'm playing at."
What was the scene in New York like at that time?
There was this cultural melting pot in New York. You had skater kids, hip-hoppers, drug dealers, athletes, rappers, pretty girls. It just felt like something was happening. And you know, these downtown Supreme kids hanging out in one side of the room and then you have like Biggie and Jay-Z in matching white pimp hats on their birthday. It was exciting and the music was good, most importantly. And I was good, even more importantly.
So everything just took off from there?
I think I got my first production gig because I was out playing and everybody knew the parties I played were good. I would play an interesting mix of good hip-hop, good soul music, and then some rock. Like, some good rock that you wouldn't maybe hear that much in clubs.
And then you started making your own records?
I got a deal for my first album, Here Comes the Fuzz, which was basically me doing the beats and having all my favorite artists get on these tracks. I was probably a bit young and over-eager, and maybe a bit over-ambitious. I maybe didn't have the talent at that point to fully deliver on the vision, but I wanted to somehow let the listener feel like they had been through one of my three-hour DJ sets of all these things and genres, but with 45 minutes of original music.
What's your process for songwriting?
I think a good song, a great song, always comes down to chords and melody. So if you preserve that part of the song, then you're OK.
Stick to the core.
The thing is, great art is great art. There will always people that are going to want to have great music, so we all need to figure out the way to let people access it in a way that's not going leave artists and musicians starving on the street.

Skip to comments.Former Obama Cult Member Brad Pitt Abandons Dear Leader on Guns
Posted on 04/17/2013 9:04:24 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican
Must have a movie coming out
About time Tyler Durden stepped up.
For all their liberal tendencies, Pitt and Angelina Jolie are pretty strident on their 2nd Amendment views. Very glad to hear this!
What? They're figure-skating in Hell. BTT.
We'll take allies where we can get 'em.
Heh, yeah maybe you're right
His wife is supposedly an Obama supporter, yet I've heard some pretty conservative sounding things come out of her re. personal responsibility and such
And of course both of them were raised by conservative parents...
Stalkers have a way of making one change their mind on personal safety.
They are both left wing loons.
However, even a left wing loon has a right to bear arms in this country. They have the right to defend their families against threats like everyone else.
I find it astonishing that anyone would be in favor of having this right revoked by tyrants. It's madness.
I support the Brad on this.
I thought you couldn't be a liberal unless you hate America, the 2nd Amen and guns?
There are directors and producers who would lay down on their backs and let Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie drive golf balls off their puckered lips if that was a condition of either of them starring in their next production.
"Mr and Mrs Smith vs ATF?"
May the koolaid wear off around the nation, hallelujah, I might watch his movies again.
I know it's trite, but even a blind squirrel finds an, ahem, ACORN once in a while.
HOORAY Brad Pitt! Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians (individuals/gangs/collectives), foreign and domestic. DEFENSE/OFFENSE BUMP!
what is the divisiveness he was talking about, the divisiveness started with Obama,poor confused soul,
Obama turned the clock back fifty years.
Angie wears the pants in that family and she's a bat shit crazy, authority defying rebel (bless her heart). Therefore, she has no use for the communists.
World War Z, I think this summer.
That makes Pitt a womb raider.
I think she started listening to her dad.
Well, he was born in Oklahoma...
Ooook-lahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oklahoma, Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Ayipioeeay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Aye-yip-aye-yo-ee-ay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
that Oklahoma?
You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a fucking actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment. Basically, when you whittle everything away, I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.
-Brad Pitt
Ummm....she has a tatoo of Che Guevara on her body...so much for no use for commies.
"Alex, I'll take 'Expressions I've Never Heard Before' for $400."
They don't hate their guns, they hate your guns...
What's that saying..a liberal turns conservative after they are mugged? Unless one is Justice Breyer where several home burglaries have no effect on his leftist numbskull.
I see
Jennifer is the proof of the adage, "No matter how good she looks, somewhere there is somebody who is tired of her s—t."
"We'l take allies where we can get 'em"
...and it doesn't hurt that they're easy on the eye...;<)
Perhaps she was unable to "satisfy" him and he moved on to someone who could? She doesn't seem to be a very "sexual" woman to me, but that's just my own personal observation.
I like that movie, also "A River Runs Through It".
His best role....."We in the killin' Nah-tzee business..and cousin' .....business is boomin'"
I think you got em figured out exactly lol
Uh, yeah- what about them guns
I'll tell her you said that after she wakes up. LOL.
Hey, that is pretty good

i'm back to trying sort out things post-Beltane.
so, a few people have said they've changed their minds on various points. i want to reconfirm our aims so we don't piss any effort into the wind.
splash page with a bimonthly changing image linking to external sites - separate? at the top of a news blog? other? some people wanted the first option, then the second. i'm still worried that no-one will contribute images and i'd like to not bother with this idea for now, or at least leave it until later.
also, what is the difference between the scrollyness of the old site vs. the tumblr one? i can't tell.

About the Author: Brian Asmus serves as a Public Diplomacy Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
The day (or rather night) that Embassy Papua New Guinea had long been waiting for -- and once had to reschedule due to the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti -- was upon us. And Papua New Guineans (PNG) were just as excited. Young and old, they lined the streets, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton as she arrived at Jackson International Airport November 3, 2010.
Secretary Clinton's first stop was Port Moresby Technical College to plant a mangrove seedling. This was the site that had site leader Norman Barth from Embassy Suva most worried. A quick check showed that the tide would be at its highest at that hour. Back to the drawing board: We would arrange a symbolic planting. Windy conditions and the threat of rain were also foremost in our minds. As clouds started to darken the sky, we nervously scrutinized the weather reports. It was going to be hit and miss. If the Secretary should arrive late, a lighting storm was likely.
After following the road as it wound along the coast, Secretary Clinton and her entourage were given great views of downtown Port Moresby, which was clearly visible across the harbor, as they made their way to the mangrove planting site. Upon arrival, Benny Allan, PNG Minister for Environment and Conservation, Augustine Mungkaje, acting project coordinator of the Community Based Management and Sustainable Utilization of the Mangrove Resources in Bootless Bay and Mazzella Maniwave, the daughter of the project's late founder Thomas Maniwave and one of the project's officials, greeted the Secretary. Later, Mazzella would hand the mangrove seedling to the Secretary who, in turn, passed it to a student for planting; all went according to plan. Instead of rain, a rainbow emerged.
As darkness fell and the lights of downtown started to twinkle across the bay, the motorcade whisked off for an official courtesy call on PNG Governor-General Sir Paulias Matane at Government House. The building has wide verandahs that were designed to catch the evening breeze, sitting atop a forested hill with manicured gardens overlooking what soon will be the New Embassy Compound (scheduled for completion in 2013). Sir Paulias, Queen Elizabeth II's official representative and a prolific author, discussed the issues facing the country with the Secretary.
With every minute of her four-hour trip tightly choreographed, we had the group racing back to the U.S. Embassy for a "Meet & Greet" with the staff. After a quick group photo (I hope that nobody heard us barking orders for all to take their places), my fantastic Public Diplomacy and Protocol Assistant, Carolyn Ive, was given the great honor of introducing the Secretary. Despite enduring a bit of good-natured teasing from me during the week prior, she delivered an ace performance. The whole experience had her beaming with pride, a truly unforgettable and inspirational moment.
Next, Secretary Clinton went to Parliament House in Waigani. Completed in February 1984 and opened by HRH the Prince of Wales Aug. 7 of the same year, the building combines traditional and modern design elements. To me, it looks like a Lutheran Church from the 1970s, complete with chartreuse carpet!
What a sight! Site officer Sarah Nelson had swung into action and placed orchids throughout the venue. Excited murmurs rippled through the crowd of women as the Secretary entered the room and was greeted by PNG Ambassador Lucy Bogari, deputy secretary of Policy in PNG Department of Foreign Affairs. Mrs. Clinton spoke with new female recruits from the PNG Defense Force and with two women recognized by the embassy for their courageous work on human rights issues, Helen Samilo and Betty Lovai. During her speech, many of the women gathered had tears in their eye.
Later, Secretary Clinton held a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare and addressed members of the PNG Cabinet. As notetaker, I got to be part of the action. Secretary Clinton expressed her hope that Papua New Guinea would use revenue from its natural resources, including the large ExxonMobil liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, wisely for the development of the country. She offered the Prime Minister assistance through the State Department's Energy Governance Capacity Initiative (EGCI).
Following the joint press conference, the Secretary and her team set off for the airport, while the Public Diplomacy team raced back to the U.S. Embassy to file this brief and to upload the photos of the memorable event. Thank goodness Shane Hussein from Embassy Suva is a technology wizard! No one, however, was off the clock. We had to wait for confirmation that the Secretary's plane was "wheels up." While we waited, everyone joked, relieved that all went off with hardly a hitch.
A transcript of Secretary Clinton's remarks at the mangrove reforestation project is here; at Parliament House on women's empowerment is here; and with Prime Minister Somare is here. Additional information about the visit's goals and significance is available here.

Great to see the Secretary visiting PNG and its also great to see these blogs from the Pacific Region. Renewed aid to this region is long over due. It appears to be focused on PNG. Please do not stop there. In Solomon Islands 65% of women have been victims of domestic violence, just like PNG. Maternal mortality and infant mortality improvements have been slow in SI and will not meet the MDGs deadline of 2015. Non-communicable diseases are on the rise and surgical care outside of Honiara is woefully lacking. Solomon Islands has much to learn from UPNG on increasing its surgical work force, but the solutions are not free. Consider GHI funds for health care and surgical care strengthening.

Rizal Province, known as the Cradle of Philippine Art, offers a little something for every kind of traveler—culture and history, nature and adventure, food and faith.
Why Go
Rizal is an up-and-coming province to the east of Metro Manila that is convenient for day trips or weekend getaways. Visitors can go the historic and religious route, visiting its many colonial churches and even a couple of miraculous landmarks, or they can enjoy the great outdoors with the nature parks, mountain treks and trails, and three sets of waterfalls. Those interested in arts and culture will be inspired by the many artists' galleries, workshops, and museums--some of these with restaurants attached to ensure that the foodies have fun as well.
When to Go
The drier months of March to May are the ideal time to visit Rizal province, though the rainy season, which starts in June and lasts until around September, is the best time to check out the waterfalls.
Things to Do
Art Galleries and Museums
The region is home to many local artists, many of whom have been awarded the distinction of National Artists. A number of the local galleries saw their beginnings as artists' studios and workshops in the '70s and '80s, but continue to showcase artwork to this day. Talent and creativity might just be hereditary, as evidenced by the collection of artworks displayed in the Blanco Family Museum, at 312 Ibanez Street, Barangay Sto. Niño, Angono. Located at 203 Doña Nieves Street, Barangay Sto. Niño, Angono, the Tiamson Art Gallerie features the work of artist and musician Orville DR Tiamson. The Nemiranda Arthouse and Gallery in Doña Justa Subdivision, Angono, not only showcases a collection of the artist's work, but it also houses the Angono School of Arts. Not all great paintings must take a life time or a thousand brushstrokes, as we learn from viewing the work of artist Rafael Pacheco at his gallery in Barangay Bombongan, Morong, Rizal. This house at 73 Gloria Street, San Carlos Heights, Binangonan, displays some of the original paintings and other memorabilia of national artist Vicente Manansala. The site was declared a historical landmark by the National Historical Institute back in 1978.
There are several notable churches in Rizal province. The Our Lady of Antipolo Shrine houses the miraculous icon Nuestra Señora dela Paz y Buenviaje, or Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. Believers flock to this site to pay homage to the icon every May, when Antipolo plays host to a month-long fiesta. The Tanay Catholic Church has stood on the same site since 1606, despite undergoing two reconstructions over the years. The building itself is built in Renaissance style, and religious tourists should definitely take the time out to view the 200-year-old carvings of the Stations of the Cross displayed at the church.
Natural Attractions
Nature lovers will find themselves well-satisfied with the stunning mountain views and the array of parks found all around the province, as well as the two sets of waterfalls in Tanay, Rizal. Nature resorts with hiking and bicycle trails abound in Rizal, giving you an accessible eco-weekend site away from Metro Manila's concrete jungle. Hikers will love the trek to the 200-meter-high peak of Susong Dalaga, so named because it's shaped like a virgin's breast. While the journey up may be challenging, the view from the top more than makes up for it, with Laguna Lake spread out at your feet and the panorama stretching far and wide. The Hinulugang Taktak Falls are another of nature's splendors easily accessible through Rizal. The national park, located along Taktak Road, offers a great place to play and picnic and, of course, view the falls. Concerts and plays are performed in the area fronting the falls in May every year.
Manmade Attractions
Located along the Angono-Binangonan boundary, this is a World Heritage Site featuring 127 drawings of animal and human figures engraved in the rock. The petroglyphs were discovered by National Artist Carlos "Botong" Francisco in 1965, and the engravings are estimated to date back to 3000 BC.
Although not a natural attraction, the Avilon Montalban Zoological Park is a great place to introduce kids to (and reacquaint yourself with) the wonders of the animal kingdom. The park, which can be found in San Isidro, Rodriguez (formerly Montalban), showcases scenic pocket gardens, man-made lagoons, and over 500 different species of animals.
What to Buy
Since Rizal's provincial share of Laguna Lake's total area is over 50 percent, you can be sure that it's a great place to get fresh fish. The bestsellers include bangus (milkfish), tilapia, and big head carp, but other fish found in the lake and sold in Rizal's markets include kanduli and hito (both varieties of catfish), biyang tabang (fresh white goby), and more. Also available are freshwater clams and shrimp. The province's mountainous terrain allows for farming high value crops normally grown in cooler provinces like Baguio. These include: cucumber, cabbage, lettuce, ampalaya, beans, and okra. Again, since it neighbors the NCR, visitors can be assured fresher fare than can be found among items trucked down from provinces several hours to the north. Healthy foodies will also get to enjoy the array of fresh fruits from Rizal's farms. Native delicacies include coco jam and suman, but Rizal is one of the best places to get hot cashew nuts in the summer, as well as local blackberries, called duhat.
Antipolo City – The capital city of Rizal is most known for the breathtaking view of Metro Manila that can be seen from there, because of its topographical makeup. It is also known as the home of the Our Lady of Antipolo Shrine, which devotees flock to during the fiesta in May.
Angono – This municipality in Rizal is now the site of several art galleries, as Angono is the hometown of several notable Filipino artists, including national artist Carlos "Botong" Francisco.
Getting There
Rizal is accessible over land from Metro Manila. Major thoroughfares include:
- Ortigas Avenue: The westbound lanes take you to Cainta, Rizal; this is accessible through interchanges on C.P. Garcia Avenue (C5) and EDSA.
- Aurora Boulevard-Marcos Highway: The Sumulong Highway is accessible from these major roads and passes through Cainta and Antipolo City.
- Commonwealth Avenue-Batasan-San Mateo Road: This route takes you to the municipalities of San Mateo and Rodriguez.
- Laguna-Rizal Provincial Road: This route takes you from the southern provinces into Rizal.
Commuters may also take the Megatren line (also known as MRT-2 or LRT-2) through to its terminal station in Santolan, and flag down PUVs from there. City bus lines with routes from Manila going into Rizal include RRCG, G-Liner, and EMBC.
Getting Around
Public utility vehicles like jeepneys, FX taxis, or shuttles can take you to various locations in Rizal, following routes that originate from the following terminals:
- Crossings Underpass, Mandaluyong City
- Cubao, Quezon City

Watching this fiasco tonight has me seriously concerned about Wallace. He looks very Spergonish out there.
We are so screwed if Colt goes down due to injury. Like season is over screwed. This could be a distinct possibility with the state of the o-line - Steinbach being on IR for the year, and the right side still lacking talent. We could be in store for another long year. Let's hope the train stays on the tracks.

ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, on Tuesday released the world's first 40nm graphics processing unit. The novelty not only marks a milestone for the company, but also brings new performance levels to $100 price-point per graphics card.
"Consumer pressure in this economic downturn is shifting demand to lower prices and the price band around $100 has the highest demand and highest volume. AMD has responded with the launch of the ATI Radeon HD 4770, targeting this market with cutting-edge technologies like 40nm processors, support for DirectX 10.1 gaming and GDDR5 memory," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's graphics products group.
ATI Radeon HD 4770, which is powered by ATI RV740 graphics processing units (GPUs), features 640 stream processors, 32 texture units, 16 render back ends and 128-bit GDDR3/GDDR4/GDDR5 memory controller. ATI recommends its partners among graphics cards makers to clock the chip at 750MHz and install 512MB of GDDR5 memory at 3200MHz.
Just like the latest ATI Radeon graphics chips, the novelty supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0 application programming interfaces, hardware-accelerated playback of high-definition video with post-processing and other advantages.
Thanks to 40nm process technology of TSMC, ATI Radeon HD 4770 consumes only about 50W under load, which is considerably less than graphics cards offering similar levels of performance. Based on performance figures obtained by X-bit labs, the novelty is slightly slower compared to ATI Radeon HD 4850, a graphics card that used to cost $200 less than a year ago.
Manufacturer suggested retail price of ATI Radeon HD 4770 is $109, however, U.S. and Canada residents may also get $10 rebate from certain online stores.

Welcome to the Cuenca Los Ojos Foundation
Cuenca Los Ojos means "watershed of springs"
The Cuenca Los Ojos Foundation is dedicated towards improved understanding and appreciation at local, regional and international levels of the biological diversity along the United States-Mexico boundary.
Cuenca los Ojos (CLO) is a leader in adapting to climate change. In a part of the world that has been drying up, CLO is reversing this trend by restoring habitat through an ancient tradition of slowing erosion and harvesting water -- water that would otherwise would rush over a desiccated landscape. Bringing water back to the land has resulted in remarkable vegetation changes, which in turn has increased populations across the wildlife spectrum.
Our Mission
The Cuenca Los Ojos Foundation works to preserve and restore the biodiversity of the borderland region of the United States and Mexico through land protection, habitat restoration and wildlife reintroduction. The Foundation seeks to support these programs through scientific research and sustainable resource management practices.
