Home Of The Brave Lyrics
Artist: ToTo
Album: The Seventh One
Everything's gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, there's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore
Leave the politics behind boys, they're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here, it's make or break here
Haven't we been here before - tell me what we're waiting for
You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
Who sings the song of the people, you don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before
So you're trying to shake this feeling, that trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore - tell me what we're waiting for
(Instrumental break)
Chorus repeats 2x

Gunplay Premieres New Video for "Wuzhanindoe"
Gunplay performs at the BB&T Center.
Photo by Michele Eve Sandberg
A little over a month ago, I found myself sitting on a couch in between Rick Ross and Gunplay. The two Carol City natives and childhood friends had just wrapped up a Memorial Day show at the BB&T Center, and, at that moment, I was the meat in between their buns.
Asked how he was doing, Gunplay smiled from behind black sunglasses, "I'm chillin' like a villain, like Bob Dylan poppin' penicillin."
If we had to wager a guess then about which of the two rappers might be in jail 32 days later, the odds would have been in Gunplay's favor. While both musicians have had past troubles with the law, Ross' have been — at least until now — minor compared to Gunplay's.
But the artist formally known as Don Logan (born Richard Morales) admits his biggest obstacle in breaking into the music industry has been his legal woes. "The legal system," he said plainly. "That's been my biggest struggle." And it's hard to argue with that.
Gunplay and Ross backstage at the BB&T.
Photo by Michele Eve Sandberg
Gunplay was arrested in 2012 for armed robbery. It happened at the Tax Place on NW Seventh Avenue in Miami, and it was all caught on tape. Gunplay is seen in the video brandishing a pistol in front of Turon Woodside, an accountant and acquaintance, before striking him and taking his gold chain and cell phone.
After a 90-day house arrest, Gunplay managed to sidestep a potential life sentence when Woodside stopped cooperating in the trial. After the case was dropped, Gunplay took to Twitter to give a shoutout to Rick Ross.
I jus gave da State of Florida back a life sentence!! Case dismissed!! S/o to da Bath Salt Boss @rickyrozay #medellin— ItsDonLogan (@GUNPLAYMMG) February 25, 2013
But, unlike Ross, Gunplay has managed to stay out of legal trouble since then, and he's been able to focus on his music. "I've been trying to perfect my craft, but in the interim, I made a few poor decisions that have held me back," he told us. "But God's not going to give you anything that you can not handle. Especially success."
Yesterday on Noisey, Gunplay premiered his video for "Wuzhanindoe" (which is a compressed and much cooler way of saying "What's happening, though?"). And the video has all the gangster rap staples: a pair of dice lands on a stack of wrinkled bills, a pit bull barks in slow motion, homies chill on a porch, and an ominous cop car rolls past a graffitied alleyway. The only thing that could make it more West Coast gangsta-rrific would be if Ice Cube rolled up in a lowrider blasting Snoop Dogg while Dr. Dre clung to the bumper on a skateboard made out of empty Olde English bottles.
While it does sting a little bit that Gunplay is running around South Central L.A. rather than his hometown of Carol City, the video doesn't disappoint. What more could you want?
It's got Gunplay, shirtless and unapologetic in all his inked-up glory, proudly rhyming about a lifestyle that almost landed him a life sentence. YG steps in for a guest verse toward the end, and — in what's hopefully not a case of foreshadowing — Gunplay flees from a cop with his weapon drawn, stepping over the hood of the cruiser before darting out of frame.

"I think me becoming successful and having him as a right-hand man, that shit is like lightning hitting the same place twice," Rick Ross told us backstage at the BB&T Center. If there exists a Gunplay fanclub, Ross is no doubt its president. "He etched his name in a special crowd, in a select few of motherfuckers that's respected as being real lyricists and real niggas," Ross said.
Gunplay's new album, Living Legend, will finally drop on July 31. "I'm about real talk," Gunplay said when asked to describe himself. And it's safe to assume there'll be plenty of that on the new album. Let's just hope Rick Ross is a free man when the time finally comes to give it a listen.

Spring allergies
For some, season changes and warm weather can bring itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, sinus congestion and even difficult breathing: symptoms of allergies.
For over 50 million Americans, seasonal allergies may prevent them from enjoying the spring, summer and fall months.
An allergy means that our immune system produces an antibody (IgE) against an otherwise harmless element in our environment.
Common spring allergens in Central Minnesota include trees such as birch, ash, oak, maple, and hickory which will cause allergy symptoms as they pollinate, typically occurring in mid-March until late May.
Unfortunately, as tree pollen dissipates, we begin grass season, which begins in early May and lasts until early June. While late June and July may provide allergy sufferers with a brief respite to their symptoms, this relief is often short-lived as we progress into weed season.
Common ragweed as well as other weeds such as lambsquarters, pigweed, sagebrush and English plantain pollinate mid-August until the first frost. Seasonal changes can also increase outdoor mold activity, producing literally billions of airborne spores which can trigger similar symptoms.
Rural residents may sometimes consider relocating to a more urban environment, but pollen can travel over 300 miles so even such drastic moves may prove futile.
Most allergy sufferers require daily medications which may include antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, decongestants or even sinus rinses.
For patients who do not receive adequate relief from their daily medication regimens, allergy shots can provide long term, permanent treatment of their seasonal allergies.
Allergy shots (immunotherapy) have been successfully used for well over 100 years and help the body develop a protective antibody (IgG) against the various allergens many people suffer from such as pollens, pets, and dust mites.
While immunotherapy requires a significant time commitment - shots may need to be continued on a regular basis for three to five years - the time commitment is well worth it, as most will receive nearly lifelong improvement in their allergy symptoms.
Individuals with asthma often will experience more symptoms during times of season change due to increased allergen exposure as well as frequent weather fluctuations.
If you have a history of allergy induced asthma, now is a perfect time to check in with your doctor to assure your asthma is under optimal control before the weather changes and to assure you have plenty of refills for the spring, summer and fall.
It is imperative to take your physician-prescribed controller asthma medication on a regular basis before the weather is expected to warm up to assure good asthma control.
Allergies can cause more than sneezing and itchy eyes; warm weather also brings out stinging insects that can cause severe anaphylaxis or even death for some individuals. In the Midwest, we have five stinging insects that can cause anaphylaxis, including: yellow jackets, white-faced hornets, yellow-faced hornets, wasps and the honeybee.
Anaphylaxis resulting from a sting can cause a person to experience difficult breathing, hives, itching, throat swelling, drop in blood pressure and even loss of consciousness; individuals experiencing these symptoms after a sting need immediate medical attention.
People with a history of this type of reaction to a sting should carry a minimum of two doses of injectable epinephrine, which is the only medication that can prevent an episode of anaphylaxis from progressing.
These people should also undergo allergy testing for the five stinging insects mentioned. Stinging insect allergy can also be treated with allergy shots, which can greatly reduce the risk of anaphylaxis and death with subsequent stings. It should be noted that although a large amount of swelling at the site of a sting can be painful and dramatic, it alone is not typically an indication for allergy testing or shots.
As winter draws to a close and we look forward to longer days, allergy sufferers may feel they are destined for weeks or even months of misery, however with new medications and other therapies available we should all be able to get out and enjoy the warm weather!

The Internet of Light: Why LiFi May Replace WiFi
Marlene Breverman stashed this in WiFi, how passé
Stashed in: sathya
You get bonus points for consistency. You said this a few months ago too. :)
What about a bugs flying around? Could that disrupt light waves, causing transmission interference?
The articles I've read have not mentioned this as an issue.
The bigger issue is the chicken and egg problem of adoption when no one else has it yet either.
Marlene, communication protocols are typically built in layers, with higher-level features like reliability built on top of lower layers that may lack them. A common example is TCP/IP, which refers to 2 separate software layers that work together in that way. IP (Internet Protocol) doesn't guarantee packet delivery, i.e. it's unreliable. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) uses IP to provide a (limited) guarantee of packet delivery. The same kind of thing holds for most of the protocols used to transmit data over wires, air gaps, etc. Although I'm pretty sure the low-level error checking doesn't have to be as sophisticated for communication over wires, it's still there in some form... if you've ever unplugged an Ethernet cable for a few seconds and then replugged it without anything "breaking", that's what was going on.

T. EloiseMature
A transsexual love journey following the intimate and graphic world of prostitution through the eyes of a woman trapped inside of man's body.
I wish it didn't have to be this way anymore. That I could just find myself in this body. Not knowing who you are drives a person mad sometimes. I know that as of yesterday, I am considered to be a free woman but who knows what free even means? Does it mean that I won't get any dirty looks for wearing clothing that I was born to wear? Does being free mean that when I look in the mirror that I won't see the disorder that I've seen for years? No, being free is only a label that someone else slaps on another.
I've only known who I was, the name of Edwin was given to me by some run down old whore that didn't give a shit what came out that barren cavern known as her uterus. I was born into poverty, wearing rags that was supposed to be considered clothing. Goodwill hand me downs that shouldn't be used for epileptic Chihuahua's dog bed. Yet I wore them like they were worth the hundreds of dollars I knew one day I would make performing under hot stage lights.
That pesky wouldn't thing wouldn't go away, no matter how hard I tried and believe sister, I tried everything. The little chunk of flesh wouldn't go away and I hated myself for it. Ever sense I could walk, it's been sticking out like a sour thumb. When I was a teenager, and a fabulous one at that. I would wear the tightest of tight pants, tucking it in between my slim thighs. I would stand there after school for endless hours, naked and pale. My light skin caught the light just right so that you couldn't tell that I had it tucked into my legs and I just looked like a flat chested young slip of a thing. Every man's jailbait just waiting to be deflowered.
Of course, I never did tell my mother, just waited for 18 to happen and left. I gave her the finger as I walked out of the door and called her pussy the "barren wasteland of which I thank for my flower of existence, peace out you old queen." The last time I ever talked to my mother, and I have to say, very diplomatic, right?

The hospital has decided to review the evidence rather than run the risk of legal action which could have cost it up to pounds 100,000.
The vitamin B12 unit, the only one in Britain, was run by Dr Ray Bhatt with charitable funding for 13 years until December 1995 when money ran out. The hospital was asked to continue the work, which linked autism and other neuro-developmental disorders to a treatable vitamin B12 deficiency. The hospital questioned its value, saying Dr Bhatt had failed to submit it to proper scientific review.Reuse content

Days rolled by and the significance of that night's events seemed to fade. They faded but were not forgotten, not by me anyway. I had tentatively asked a few of the other girls if they'd seen anything out of the ordinary. No one was biting.
I'd asked leading questions such as, "What did you think of that other company?" or "Some of their dancer's were weird, don't you think?" The answers I received were simply idle gossip "ugh did you see their hair? I'd die if Delany made us do that!" or they were uninterested, "They were alright. Their prima contortionist was a bit weak." "Geez why do you care so much about them? We've got another performance to get ready for next weekend." I dropped my meager investigation. I didn't need any unwanted attention.
I was beginning to wonder if maybe I was remembering things wrong. I didn't really have a great memory. The last few days had been brutal in rehearsal. Changes had been made to a few routines. I consistently missed the new cues instead letting my muscle memory take over and execute the old movements. When the choreographer drilled me on the changes, my mind was blank. I was shown the steps again and again but I continued to routinely fail.
The choreographer was considering suspending me from performing that weekend. I had to work harder. If I was continually suspended then eventually I'd be terminated. Kicked out of the company would mean no shelter, no food, no job. I would be utterly lost in the world; I'd have nowhere to go.
Luckily we had tonight off. Severe annual winds dictated that the amphitheater needed to be closed up. This kept props from being uprooted and blown about the dark district. The theatre had already become a mess of dirt and trash. The cage had even been knocked over dislodging a vertical bar and seriously denting numerous others. Performances were postponed until the wind died down and the amphitheatre could be cleaned up.
I planned to take advantage of the unforeseen break to practice my routines. However after a tongue lashing from the choreographer and the annoyed, even hateful glares of my fellow dancers earlier that day I needed a break. The performance tracks queued on my music player I lodged the small speakers in my ears. I promised myself that I'd run through the routine in my head on the trip to the library.
The library was one of the few places I went aside from the complex and amphitheatre. There was an old one in downtown, not too far from the dark district. I liked it not only because it was within walking distance but also for the old dusty books it held within.
Paper books were rare in libraries. This old one forgotten by the city and its tax payers however still had shelves of old paper books. Not surprisingly the other girls didn't see the purpose of visiting such an old library. This meant I could be left well enough alone on my visits. I found the atmosphere to be comforting in a way.
With the afternoon sun still shining low in the sky I set out on my trip. The air was full of debris, disgusting cigarette butts, food wrappers, dirt and other trash. The pressure of the swift moving winds hurt my sensitive ears horribly. The gusts chaffed against my cheeks and blew my hair wildly about my face and neck. I sometimes felt like if I stretched my arms out the air would fill my jacket like a pair of small hot air balloons and carry me away.
The prospect of walking around the dark district alone was always a bit frightening. A place that hosted exotic cabarets featuring underage girls was understandably the haven of other social ills. From illegal drugs to black market dealings, the dark district was the desired location. I was used to it by now though. I didn't like sharing my free time with the other girls and never leaving the complex would be all too depressing. Moreover I had to be a bit courageous if I wanted to go anywhere. Summoning my courage I headed towards the library in the older part of town.
I was wearing a little bit of makeup. I wasn't brave enough to face the world without my face on. I wore a long skirt so the wind wouldn't blow it up and show off my underwear as well as a pair of flats. No one in the library would know I was a dancer from the dark district dressed like this. I liked it that way.
I passed the tall, tightly pressed buildings. The dark district had started as a small community of the socially unacceptable and the rest of the world had continued to grow around it, boxing it in. When the dark district grew in both population and commerce it was forced to grow up instead of out.
I passed the neon orange graffiti tag for the 'Pride' scrawled large and gaudy aside the building that Jimmy did business out of. The weather kept street traffic to a minimum and I'd imagine business wasn't very good that day. I waved as I passed his shop, faithfully open no matter the weather or holiday.
A short burly man, Jimmy made up for what he lacked in physique with charisma. You could find any electronic voice you wanted in his closet of a store. If you didn't he'd make sure to convince you that you needed something else. I'd been looking for a small TV when I ended up buying my music player from him. I was almost positive that his business was more encompassing than black market electronic sales thus justifying his more than accommodating hours of operation.
I wasn't on a first name basis with many other resident/ merchants in the dark district. Aside from corner stores Jimmy's business was about as legitimate as it got. A restaurant or two and some Laundromats' were scattered around the district although they were believed to almost certainly be fronts for something less scrupulous.
Not even fast food chains ventured to plant themselves within the tainted soil of the district. There wasn't a grocery store to be found along the dirt streets. There was a sense of community to the area but it wasn't all inclusive. You belonged to a faction, a group of similar people and that was your community. You interacted with others solely based on what respective groups you belonged too.
Group's were variable ranging from ethnicity, occupation or gang relation. I was seen as an exotic dancer and little else. You would rarely see someone walking along the streets alone. Without the context of your group a person was defenseless. On occasion I decided to take that chance.
The closer you got to the border between the dark district and the rest of the world the density of peddlers increased. Stalls selling illegal fireworks or bootleg DVD's, whatever was popular but the legalities or morays of society disallowed, you could find it here. Close enough to entice non-residents but far enough away to keep from being caught. For many visitors the exotic allure of entering the seedy district was most likely enough on its own to trade a few bucks for something at a borderline stall.
A few blocks into my journey I came to a busy street. The commotion at the corner made me a little nervous. I didn't know if it was some sort of deal. Maybe gang activity, however I didn't stop to investigate further. I knew if I took an alley way I could get to the library just as fast.
But then the sun was already going down and I didn't know if I should take that chance. I'm not sure why but the alleyways just seemed much more scary when the sun went down. Perhaps it was because it created an inconspicuous place to hide for those who had a reason to. I knew I shouldn't take long to decide, if anyone saw me standing around I might get into trouble.
When Allie had first joined the company as a dancer she had been faced with a similar situation but she hadn't realized the danger. An altercation between rival gangs had caused a commotion near the corner store. Intrigued she had gotten too close and seen too much. She received a black eye and some bruises for her innocent curiosity. Thanks to the embroidery on her sweatshirt the attack hadn't gone any further. Former members of the troupe hadn't been so lucky.
Dance companies like ours were prepared for the difficulties of doing business in such areas. Gangs didn't want to get involved with the security guards and maybe more so with the political backlash caused by the business companies which supposedly owned such venues of entertainment. I wouldn't be surprised if those rumors were true. Regardless of the companies protection becoming witness to a crime never ended well.
Deciding, I turned towards the alleyway as the noise grew louder down the road. Fear had already settled into my mind. Unsure of my safety I stared straight ahead and took slow deliberate steps. I could still hear the noise from the street but it was dying down. I wondered if anyone saw me or if I should go back. I could always return to the complex but thinking of the library and the source of independence it gave me bolstered my decision to pursue this opportunity.
I heard rustling branches but couldn't tell where it had come from. Startled I stopped walking. Standing frozen I worried over what had made the noise. Seconds passed like minutes before my reflexes told me to run. Almost to the alley's end I realized my irrational paranoia letting myself calm down at a brisk walk. A soft green bug zapping light from someone's backyard hung at the end of the passage way letting me see my dilapidated surroundings; a beaten tin trash can and rows of rotting wooden doors that had been white washed many years ago.
A shopping center was visible ahead of me. My destination lay among the old fashioned wood buildings selling trendy clothes and second hand goods. The view brought a sense of relief. Imbued with bravery from the sight I began to cross the street. I hated crossing streets. It was one of the many things in life that frightened me. Yet there were few cars on the road that night and I was about to summon my courage to run across when I sensed a warm body to my right.
My nerves still jittery I was shocked by the presence. I stood with one foot out in the road, not daring to look at the person. From the corner of my eye I could see that it was a woman, a tall woman. Trying to disregard her and cross the road, a sharp voice grabbed my attention before I'd gotten any farther.
I turned to face her without hearing her words. Now both feet were in the street. My eyes grew wide, heart beat faster, adrenaline level rose. This was the woman from the show the other night.
As she drew closer I could sense tension in her muscles as if she were holding back all of her strength and fury. I didn't know who this woman was or what she had against me. I could feel tears forming in my eyes that wouldn't blink. All I remember her saying was, "YOU!" she yelled, as she drew even closer. Then her voice lowered to just above a whisper, still holding the menacing tone, "You're dead."
Without further harassment I was pushed to the ground, my hands saving my face from the sidewalk. Mesmerizing yellow gray eyes stared at me disgusted with what they saw. Those strange eyes triggered something. I remembered for that instant like waking from a dream and then it escaped me. The precious knowledge came and went like most things one wants so very much in life.
I cowered on the ground only getting up when I had convinced myself she wouldn't pursue me farther. I ran, my flight reflex finally kicking in. Across the street without having looked for cars I checked over my shoulder to see if she was following me. There was no trace of the woman. A bit relieved yet still on edge I arrived at the library and fell onto the stoop and began to cry.
The library was closed.

Hey it's Scott Alan,
North America's tallest mountain has a new name.
The White House announced Sunday that the administration is changing the name of Alaska's Mount McKinley to Denali, which in the Alaskan Native Athabascan language means "the high one."
Word of the change came ahead of President Obama's visit to Alaska, which will focus on climate change as well as showing solidarity with Alaska Natives. Alaskans have informally called the mountain Denali for years, but politicians from Ohio, the home of assassinated President William McKinley, after whom the mountain was named, have objected for decades to officially changing the name.

Victim # 1
October 15th
"We're in luck."
"Whaddaya mean, 'in luck?'" Jack yells. "We blew something, and neither of us are mechanically apt so it's not like we would even know what to do if we had a clue what's wrong with this thing." He kicks the tire of the SUV as smoke or steam seeps from under the hood. "We're in the boonies with no cell reception, and even if we could make that call, then what? I'm sure that the towing company would charge an arm and a leg to haul us out of here.
"Calm yourself down, Jack," the other man chides. "I've got GPS, remember? There's a campground relatively close by. Their office should have a land line we can use. Relax."
"With our luck a bear will get into the car while we're gone," Jack mutters.
"And that's why you're gonna stay here with it, alright?"
Jack stares at his friend, jaw agape slightly. "Seriously?"
Jack starts after he hears a knock on the car door. Left alone in the vehicle he had decided to take a nap, sleep of the frustration. His friend smiles weakly and waves a hand from the other side of the glass; obviously he doesn't bring the best of news.
He winces as he opens the door. How much was the cost of getting a mechanic out here and bringing the truck back? $100? $200? Probably more.
"Bad news," the friend sighs.
"How much?" is all Jack asks.
"There was nobody there. The office was empty and locked. And.. and we've got a second problem."
"Which is?"
"I need to get to a hospital, I think."
"Hurt yourself on the hike over?" Jack asks.
"Something like that."
"Well, what'd you do?"
"I, uhm, I got bit."
"By what? And don't expect me to believe you fought off a bear."
"No, not a bear."
"What, then?"
"It was, uhm, some guy." His face starts to go pale.
"Wait wait wait, a person bit you? I thought you said there was nobody at the camp?"
"He wasn't. He was just, y'know, in the woods."
"And did you ask if he could help us? Or did he just straight up bite you and leave?"
"No, it took some, erm, persuasion to get him to go."
Jack answers with silence.
"I think I might have killed him." His eyes lose focus, and his body starts to sway where he stands.
Now Jack answers with expletives, and then, "I thought you said we only had two problems! Murder definitely counts as a third problem!"
"I wasn't trying to kill him," the friend whispers. "He just... he just fell apart when I tried to push him off."
"Dude, people don't just fall apart!"
"Then explain to me why his neck buckled and tore when I kicked him off my ankle!"
It was then that Jack noticed the dark stain on the cuff of his friend's jeans.
"Yah, Jack! That's not my blood, that's his."
Despite his yelling, the colour was not coming back to his face. If anything he was now more pale, and his whole body was quivering.
"You're going into shock. Lie down, I don't want you passing out on me, 'aight? No more problems. One was enough."
He faints, as if on cue.
"Not cool! Not cool at all." Jack continues by ranting more expletives, moving checking his friend's vitals.
He has barely measured ten quick-paced heartbeats when he hears a strange noise behind him, the noise that gargling molasses would likely make. He turns and comes face to face with the real reason his friend fainted.
Another frenzy of expletives rushes from Jack's mouth as he runs into the truck, slamming the door and locking it. Outside, the horror falls upon his friend, helpless because of his blackout.
Jack is reduced to hysterics.
Fumbling with the emergency kit in the backseat, Jack retrieves the tire iron. His hands shake as he holds it, but he knows that he has to use it: he's got an active imagination, spurred further by adrenaline, and the media hasn't been sparse with examples of apocalypses like these.
He tries not to look at his friend's corpse as he opens the door, mustering his focus to deal with the unthinkable. A cry leaves his lips as he swings the piece of metal at the wound in the creature's neck, left vulnerable as it hunched over to feed.
The spine severs remarkably easily, and blood flies from the impact.
Jack begins to cry once the bloody head comes to rest on the ground. He doesn't cry because of the two ruined corpses in front of him, he cries because of the coppery taste in his mouth.

If there > are no other issues and objections, I would like to > release the portlet filter. Well, there are several other bridges components in 1.0.1-dev development which I would like to release soon too. Definitely before, or no later than the Jetspeed-2.1 release, but their are some pending changes for struts-bridge 1.0.1 which I want to finish first and there are several open issues for the jsf-bridge which I didn't (and still don't) have time to look into which should be resolved first too. Be able to release portletfilter (or any other component) independently from the other bridges would be preferable, but we need to think about how to handle/manage this first. Currently, the JIRA Bridges project is setup to track changes and versions for *all* bridges components as one, so releasing portletfilter 1.0.1 would imply a release for all components. The easiest solution right now would be resolving the other open issues first and release all components which are already in 1.0.1-dev development version. After the 1.0.1 release we then can discuss if/how we can release bridges components independently in the future. If someone has time to spare to look into the open issues for the jsf-bridge would definitely speed this up a lot. I'm currently in the process of moving jobs and have very little time to spare right now, not even for helping out on the Jetspeed-2.1 release.

The recent threads have got me wondering. I am wanting to put together a BOB, but I am unsure what to put in it. Is the bob, supposed to be a bag that you take when a disaster strikes, that you can surivive on for a while, or is it a bag that you take with the idea that everything else you own will be gone when you return, or is supposed to be self defense items used to save lives if you are victim of a home invasion.
Some lists I have seen are survival bags that will help you to survive, ie a tornado takes out your house, some lists are flashlights, knifes, ammo and magazines, and a BUG and ammo. The maxpedition bag posted this morning would not hold enough food and water to survive. I am confused, any help is greatly appreciated.
Ben - I haven't got the thread link to hand - but, remember that thread Euc did when he had to get out of his apartment real quick?
He mentioned what he had in his bag and IIRC it sparked some discussion on same from others. If I can find the link I'll come back to add it.
I view the Bugout bag as basically having the immediate essentials - for a short term measure - what these comprise may vary person to person - plus size of bag!
He we go Ben --
I have just bugged out

Stocks drifted into positive territory by mid-afternoon Tuesday, with all three major indexes showing gains.
The Nasdaq was up 0.5%, while the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.2%. Volume was higher on the Nasdaq and slightly lower on the NYSE.
Upscale home furnishing retailer Restoration Hardware (RH) bolted to a new high, up nearly 3% on above-average volume. The stock broke out of a base last Thursday after reporting better-than-expected earnings and has been up every day since.
In the stock market today, among IBD 50 stocks, 35 were up and 15 were down. Among the best performers was Manhattan Associates (MANH), up nearly 4%, although volume was disappointing. The stock might be building the right side of a base.
Another IBD 50 stock, Ireland-based drugmaker Shire (SHPG), was down nearly 2%. Its stock broke out of a base Monday and remains above the buy point.
Navigator Holdings (NVGS) broke out of a consolidation, up more than 6% in above-average volume. The company transports liquefied petroleum products.

At the start of Keane & Vieira: Best of Enemies (ITV4, Wednesday) the contests between Arsenal and Manchester United are described as "a brilliant, vicious Premier League rivalry that has never been bettered". At the fast-beating heart of that battle were the two players for almost a decade. They took the odd beating, but here they are reunited in retirement. It made for almost as compulsive viewing as the real thing, rather like watching a psychopath from the other side of the prison bars.
Their meeting was staged on a classic police interrogation room set: two chairs, small table, light above it. So who was questioning whose courage, in this good cop-bad cop scenario? Suited, open-collared, they could both have passed for CID officers. You wouldn't like to have been the suspect in that sandwich. Not surprisingly there was no one asking them questions; perhaps he had asked to be locked up in the cells for his own safety.
Unfortunately for Keane, the programme was obviously made shortly after publication of Sir Alex Ferguson's latest autobiography, in which Keane is eviscerated by his old gaffer. When he was interviewed, Keane was repeatedly presented with excerpts from the book as though it was a witness statement.
Even when he hears one of Fergie's compliments from an older tome – referring to his tireless display in the Champions' League semi-final in Turin in 1999 – Keane could still not hide his contempt. It read: "I felt as if it were an honour to be associated with this player." Keane retaliated: "He didn't put that in his last book, did he?" But he was not content to stop there; he is seemingly never content. "Stuff like that almost insults me," he went on. It makes you wonder how he would react to a small fan asking for his autograph. "What am I supposed to do? It's like praising the postman for delivering my letters." No Christmas box for Keane's postie then, but he probably leaves the letters outside the gate. And not because of the dog.
Both men have a twinkle in their eye, but in Keane's case it's like a knife blade catching the light in a dark alley. Vieira describes Keane as "my favourite enemy, I loved every aspect of his game". When asked "Did he intimidate you?" he replies: "No, he excited me." But for Keane it's all darkness. "I had a lot of hatred for Arsenal, I have no other word for it," he said, and even after a victory there was only unpleasantness lying in wait. "The enjoyment was very, very brief. Before long the fear gets back in, not wanting to let anyone down."
That seems to have been the motivation throughout Keane's career: failure and the way the club, the fans, his family, the Irish community reacted to it. For a sportsman who was as talented and successful as Keane, this is a desperate sadness in itself to add to all the other negativity.
There are flashes of humour amid the cut and thrust of Keane's ire. Of the infamous "Battle of Old Trafford", when Martin Keown did his gargoyle impression in the face of Ruud van Nistelrooy after Vieira's sending-off, Keane chuckles: "I was nowhere near that trouble. I behaved myself that day, and I regret it." Yet you couldn't help thinking it wasn't just a joke, he actually meant it too.
Even during the closing credits, when the pair are squabbling about how to fit Dennis Bergkamp into their all-time Arsenal-United XI, he can't resist a slur on the Dutchman: "He doesn't fly. What does that say about him?"
Now all these great players are gone, and perhaps rightly they bemoan the fact that the game lacks the intensity they brought to it. Keane's own career after his playing days ended has never really got off the ground. On this evidence it looks terminal.

Goalie Conundrum thread (2013 edition)
1. Stick with Crawford - he'll bounce back
2. Assume Emery Will Become Our # 1
3. Wait for a Prospect to Be Ready (plz specify who)
4. Trade for a Goalie (plz specify who)
5. Sign a free agent Goalie (plz specify who)
6. Reconcile ourselves to the fact we're weak in goal and our strength will come from elsewhere
7. Other
Pursue a trade.
ok, poll up.
i'm saying just build around weak goal. when we won the cup it's not like neimi was a vezina candidate...and if you look at a team like detroit, they did fine w/ unimpressive goal.
i don't see any decent free agent goalies becoming available anytime soon...and re trade - i don't know what decent goalie will become available for a reasonable price.
Trade, Niemi ---- put that in the Kruger thread
Kane for Miller?
But I am not sure who will be available. A guy like Backstrom could be cheap and get part of his contract paid off by the Wild.
See what CC does for now.
Ask me again in July.
while, as above, i think if goal fails we should square up elsewhere, i'm in favour of crawford getting the benefit of the doubt and more time to show us how good (or bad!) he actually is.
on the upside...this draft yr is fairly good for goalies...but even with that you're looking at what? a 5 yr wait?
I want a trade but Stan will hesitate. Cant win.
Craig Anderson
Trade for Backstrom (if Minnesota is looking to deal him; there's only one year @ 6m left on his contract) or Bernier (LA will have no reason to retain him since Quick is going to be their guy for the foreseeable future.
Ugh, Bernier is definitely not the answer.
I'm in favour of either sticking with Crawford, seeing how he bounces back, or going out and getting Backstrom. He's a UFA and likely wouldn't cost much to get if Minny thinks they can ride Harding the rest of the season/playoffs.
I think we're stuck with our current goaltending situation for a while. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Not all teams have great goaltending. We certainly don't.
Work on having a stronger, more reliable defense.
convince me that goal is all that important to the hawks internally? we won w/ neimi - and i get the sense that we're following the detroit model (particularly in light of the influence scott bowman seems have have).
i just don't see us making any goalie move at all.
The Detroit model was strong 2 way play for forwards and defence men. Thing is look at the teams that won cups, they had great goalies as well. Vernon won the Conn Smythe in 97 and had won a Cup with Calgary already, Hasek had been all world for years and Osgood was pretty darn good to. It's not like they had Michael Leighton on those teams. So we very much need very solid goaltending and totally overall solid play from our team cuz were not the 2010 team where we just overwhelm teams with our sheer depth. We need Crawford to be at least 2010/11 Crawdaddy and no unless barring injury I doubt well see anybody new in the pipes this year. Even if Stan gets a screamer of a deal he'd be too scared to make a move and move those glorious prospects in fear of moving the wrong one.
The answer is play better team defense. The onus isn't just on the defense-men, it's a matter of better D or nothing else will save it in this limited season.
I don't get how people keep saying Crawford will "bounce back". Bounce back to what? He rookie year in the NHL he wasn't the #1 guy so he had little pressure, he didn't play in half the games and teams hadn't figured him out yet. Enter his first year as the guy and poof.
Look at him and his career, this is a guy who at age 28 will be entering only his 2nd year as an NHL starter, Cam Ward also 28 will be entering his 7th year as a starer, MAF 28 his 7th year, and the list goes on. His career pro numbers including his AHL time are a .906 SV% and 2.82 GAA. What we saw last year was the rule not the exception, his rookie year was the exception and I don't expect to see it again.
I want the Hawks to explore a trade during the year, for who, I don't know who is and isn't available, but willing to bet if the Hawks actually tried and where willing to part with 1-2 of their prized prospects they could find a good goalie coming back, not an All-Star but someone who could push or take Crawfords job.
To me the biggest mistake was Emery, I don't think Crawford can repeat his rookie year but am willing to give him a chance, why the hell Emery was brought back is beyond me.
People so quickly overlook Detroits goalies because they weren't all world. Vernon was good, Hasek is an all timer, and Osgood is one of the most underrated goalies in the NHL. All 3 are good-great goalies.
Plus the Detroit model worked great when there was no salary cap, when you could stockpile talent 10X over other teams. In todays NHL that won't happen, if there was no cap the Hawks bring back all those guys and this team goes on a dynasty type run, but in todays NHL that won't happen.
It's not that easy.
We start the year with option 1. Option 2 will not happen for sure. During the season, you look at option 4 and who is available and we are able to get. If nothing, you still go with option 1.
After the season, it's either option 1 worked out or you do option 4 or 5 and force to upgrade that position.
Never build your team to rely on a goalie prospect
Unfortunately post #18 is probably the only option that makes sense. Crawford needs a bounce back season and Emery needs to be a solid back up in this condensed regular season. In the regular season, having 2 capable goalies will likely separate the haves from the have nots. Teams will be reluctant to trade away their #2 or even #3 goaltender until the trade deadline or next summer.
Possibly, we can make a deal at that time but team defence needs to (vastly) improve, and hopefully we can return to the puck possession days that brought us so much success in the past.
The only other possibility that comes to mind is if a team struggles coming out of the gate and decides to trade away a goalie. Stan would have to be on the ball though … so I wouldn't hold my breath.
Yeah, we need someone ASAP. Upgrade Emery now, then see if the other guy or Crawford takes over the job. If not, keep the better of the two, cap permitting and go out and get a legit starter.
Lehner has said he's not interested in a two-way deal anymore, so Ottawa needs to make a choice in who they are going to go forward with.

Ripoff Report
LenovoInternet United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I purchased a Lenovo G550 laptop. It is under a one year mail-in warranty. Right out of the box this brand new laptop did not charge correctly, the interior port was loose and the charger did not fit correctly.
When I contacted Lenovo customer service (and after spending 20 minutes on hold!) they tried to convince me that the problem was with the charging apparatus and that I should buy a new one - for a brand new laptop! When I insisted on having it repaired it took a week for them to send the form that I needed to fill out. In fact, I had to call them again in order to get them to send it, though the hold time was only 5 minutes for that call.
Once I filled out the form, I realized that there was no shipping form with it indicating that Lenovo would cover the cost to get it to the repair center. So I called to verify (this time I spent 15 minutes on hold) - and they expect ME to pay the $30 to get their faulty product to them! I paid for the laptop, it is defective and now I have to pay again to have it repaired. Absolutely ridiculous!
Don't buy from Lenovo.

Collagen supplements are great altogether. I would recommend application of Plato's Scar Serum and possibly pulsed dye laser with the cortisone shots.
