In Clark v. Children's Memorial Hospital, No. 108656, the Supreme Court of Illinois considered the validity of a lawsuit involving claims that a hospital and its physicians failed to properly test and diagnose a couple's first born child for a genetic defect and thus failed to advise the couple of the risk of conceiving a second child. The lawsuit revolved around claims of wrongful birth, negligent infliction of emotional distress and others. As explained in the decision: Plaintiffs Amy and Jeff Clark filed suit against Paul Wong, M.D., Rush University Medical Center (Rush), Baylor University Medical Center (Baylor), and Quest Diagnostics Clinical Laboratories (Quest), alleging various theories of liability in connection with the birth of their son, Timothy, who has Angelman Syndrome…They later added Children's Memorial Hospital (Children's Memorial) and Barbara Burton, M.D., as defendants. Their amended complaint alleged that Burton negligently failed to inform plaintiffs of test results revealing that their first son, Brandon, suffered from Angelman Syndrome due to a UBE3A genetic mutation, and that they would not have conceived Timothy had she provided them with accurate information regarding the risk of giving birth to another child with the same condition. The first important holding of this case involved the "wrongful life" claim. The court reaffirmed its prior holdings and rejected this claim on public policy grounds, explaining that: "A child who is born with a genetic or congenital condition does not have a cause of action in this state against a health care provider whose breach of the standard of care "precluded an informed parental decision to avoid his conception or birth.†Id . at 236, 111 Ill.Dec. 302, 512 N.E.2d 691. His life, while burdened by his condition, is "as a matter of law, always preferable to nonlife.†Next, the court addressed the negligent infliction of emotional distress claim and reached a conclusion that overturned prior Illinois court rulings. At issue was whether, in making an emotional distress claim, the parents were required to prove that any alleged negligence on behalf of the defendants in regard to their child also endangered the parents. This requirement is typical negligent infliction of emotional distress claims that are not grounded in any other claim. However, the court noted that in this case, the emotional distress claim arose in the context of the "wrongful birth" claim. In other words, the parents were not asserting an emotional distress claim as a[READ MORE…]

Friday was Monday, and Saturday was Tuesday, so today is Thursday.
Are you confused? Hopefully the Utes aren't and they make it to their appropriate Monday classes.
Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham has jumbled up the days of the week, at least in football practice terms, in order to keep the team on the right track heading into Thursday's opener against Utah State.
That means the Utes' last heavy practice was Saturday.
The Utes had Sunday off and have only light practices remaining before the opener.
Whittingham said he was pleased with the status of the team just a few days before the season begins.
"They made a good transition with school starting, that is always a transition in their routine, but it was a very good week of practice," he said.
With the team in its game week mode, Whittingham said one of the biggest tasks was to make sure the players didn't get too hyped too early in the week.
"You don't want to leave it out here on the practice field, you want to peak emotionally at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3," he said.
QB to be?
Junior college transfer Terrance Cain continues to take the majority of the snaps with the No. 1 offense, even while Whittingham continues to refuse to name a starting quarterback, at least publicly.
While there seems to be little drama remaining with who the starter is going to be, Whittingham still seems to relish keeping it vague.
"It's all going well," he said.
Bring the noise
The Utes have spent the last several days practicing with crowd noise blaring from speakers at the practice fields. Doing so is normal for the Utes, but it might be more beneficial this season with such a young offense.
"Neither of our QBs have ever played in an atmosphere like Thursday, so the more we can replicate that in practice the better," Whittingham said. "Our home crowd is very intelligent. When we are on offense, they don't get real loud because they understand we have signals to convey to each other and so forth, but you still you have to start getting used to that. It will be just the opposite at San Jose State and Oregon."
At Rice-Eccles Stadium Thursday, 7 p.m. TV » The Mtn.

I am Egyptian based in Dubai. My Daughter who is 1 year old had a cut of 1.5 cm long right above her right brow. We went to a plastic surgeon who taped the cut, didn't use Glue nor stitching. 2 weeks later, the cut was very thin, but the skin color was RED and we feel a small bump in her head at the scar.
I am attaching a pic of the cut and I was wondering would such a cut leave a scar when she is old?

What is the most erogenous part of a woman's body?
The whole thing. Any part of a woman's body is capable of being orgasmic. From her little toe to her teeth to… it doesn't really matter. You can take any part of a woman's body and turn it into an orgasmic experience she can hardly handle. It may take you a minute to figure out what the combination of that particular part of the body is. That leaves you with just a vast area to explore, meaning that you could go on for years and years, and never get back to the same spot, making the movement that minute from one spot to another. It would take you a lifetime to cover the whole thing. And with all the many different variations you can do with that spot… it's on to infinity. So, the moment that you realize that, then the whole thing of the woman being "bored" is 'cause the man has gone brain-dead. Basically, every time he encounters her, even if he went to exactly the same spot every time, it should still be a totally different experience, regardless. But then if you take into account that she's got all these other places that you could go, then there's absolutely no need for it to ever arise.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Affordable Care Act Website Glitches; Bad for Politics, Bad for Healthcare
The recent launch of the Healthcare.org website, the online portal for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), has been riddled with technical glitches and delays, frustrating users and insurers, and prompting many lawmakers to point fingers and others to suggest delaying the open enrollment period.
While the technical glitches might look bad from a political perspective, Joe Newhouse, John D. MacArthur Professor of Health Policy and Management at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), argues that it's equally as bad from a healthcare perspective.
"If I am really sick I am more willing to fight through the hassle of getting insurance," says Newhouse. "If the rate of good risks [persons who will not use much medical care] not signing up exceeds what insurers thought when they set premiums, there could be a spike in premiums on the exchanges for 2015, which in turn would require an increase in federal subsidies.
"Second, to the degree there are IT problems on the so-called 'back end,' that is – the accuracy of information from the exchange to individual insurers on who is enrolled with them and what policy they are enrolled in – there could be problems with improper denial or claims or overpayment of claims.
"Finally, most products on the exchanges are so-called, 'narrow network plans,' which means a previously insured person who now buys on the exchange may find that their doctor or the hospital they were previously using is out-of-network. Right now it is hard on many exchanges to find information on which doctors and hospitals are in network, and there are claims that some of the information that is on some of the websites is inaccurate. This could lead people to choose plans that they would not have chosen had they had more complete information."
Newhouse believes the longer-term challenges facing ACA involve lowering the steady state rate of cost growth in the healthcare sector.
"At the moment the growth rate of cost is extraordinarily low by historical standards, but no one knows to what degree the current slowdown will continue," says Newhouse. "A second challenge is keeping political support for the redistribution of income that is part of the ACA."
Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Newhouse has mixed emotions.
"I am confident that in time the IT issues will be addressed and that coverage will expand. I am also confident that cost growth will slow relative to historical standards, because the consequence in terms of what is available for non-health spending, both in the public and private sectors, is so large," he says. "I am not at all sure, however, about the mechanisms that will lead costs to slow nor about the health consequences of any such slowing."

Home in an upcycled shipping container
Like heavy Legos, shipping containers made of steel or aluminum can be used as an inexpensive, and stronger than average, building block. Resistant to such forces as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes, containers are naturally suited to such humanitarian projects as post-disaster housing and community centers but their versatility has also captured the imagination of designers and architects worldwide who've used them for everything from highrises to rustic cabins. In fact, there are enough cool container structures around to constitute a movement: some call it Cargotecture. Pictured is Eco Tech, the first repurposed container home permitted and built in CA's Mojave Desert, is one great example.

Farah Jasmine Griffin
If You Can't Be Free, Be a Mystery
With so many bone-dry books on jazz printed daily, Farah Jasmine Griffin's paean to Billie Holiday arrives like the aroma of gardenia. Griffin, an English professor at the University of Pennsylvania, makes no claim that her book If You Can't Be Free, Be a Mystery is the work of a musicologist or a musician. She is neither. She is a highly intelligent, articulate and, most of all, passionate lover of jazz—someone who also happens to be a black woman and thus connects with Holiday in various and profound ways. She explores those connections in this highly personal view of Holiday, and what it means "to be talented, black, sensual and complex." She finds in Holiday not only a spiritual soul mate—someone too often judged by everything but her talent—but also a model for her own art as a writer. "Listening to her pare down a lyric and melody to the barest minimum free of pretension, making it impossible not to confront its meaning, became a model for me of a way of doing intellectual work."
The basis of Holiday's talent was her integrity—her refusal to be a maid or a whore in a white man's world. She instead decides to become a singer. The title—If You Can't Be Free, Be a Mystery, is a line from a Rita Dove poem. "Choosing to be a mystery is the one way to maintain a semblance of control," Griffin writes, "to keep your inner self to yourself. This is an act of agency for the unfree."
Of course, Holiday's story isn't one of strict heroism; it is also one of tragedy. She was a victim of brutal men, both black and white. To find a woman who transcends that victimization, Griffin turns to Abbey Lincoln, a woman who chooses "self-care over self-destruction." Lincoln made the decision to "stop singing songs about no-good men who didn't know how to treat women. I discovered that you become what you sing. You can't repeat lyrics night after night as though they were prayer without having them come true in your own life."
Art, to Griffin, is more than beauty. It is truth, too. Her book provides a wonderful instruction in what it means to be moved emotionally and intellectually by great music and the artists who make it.

Woman allegedly tries to burn lingerie store over breakup
Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze before damage was done to the store
Associated Press
DANA POINT, Calif. — Authorities say a California woman believed to be distraught over a breakup was charged with trying to torch a lingerie store where her ex-boyfriend bought underthings.
Prosecutors say 42-year-old Jennifer Colwell pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to felony arson.
Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says Colwell was apparently distraught over the failed relationship.
KCBS-TV (cbsloc.al/QIKjcO) says the breakup led Colwell to stuff a pillowcase with gifts her ex bought at Intimate Obsessions.
Investigators say she then went to the Dana Point store early Tuesday, soaked the pillowcase in gasoline and set it on fire in an attempt to burn down the business.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze before it spread to the lingerie store.

DBF thinks I'm the one who's nuts, so I really need a place to vent tonight. I don't know WHAT is going on with DD, but she is absolutely dreadful this week. ARGH!!!! She's pretty much acting like she's completely exhausted, all the time. TOTALLY loopy. Talking complete crazy-talk. Suddenly calling me Momma instead of Mommy. Screaming at the top of her lungs if I ask for a few minutes of quiet time. And then just laughing maniacally half the day. It feels like I can't get through this weird nutty, volatile facade to get to the real Bea. It feels like a sleep issue, but her sleep has been pretty consistent, and I really have no idea how to increase her sleep. She doesn't nap anymore (trust me...I tried everything before finally having to let it go). When she does occasionally nap, it's never more than 40 minutes, but postpones her bedtime by about 1.5 hours, so she ends up sleeping less. She has an internal alarm clock set for 6 a.m. that doesn't change no matter what. And she already goes to bed at 6 p.m. It feels ludicrous to move bedtime any earlier.
Anyway, I'm not really out here for advice because I think, I pray, that this will pass soon, but....man. This is rough.
Maybe a bit more snacks may level out a potential blood sugar issue. Just an idea. *HUGS*
Just wanted to commiserate and let you know that you're not alone - and maybe vent a bit myself;-) From what I've read of your other posts, it sounds like our daughters are very similar - high needs as babies and toddlers, intense, very vocal, need constant interaction from mama. I feel like I can relate to what you're going through and wish you the strength and patience to get through this phase.
And as for my vent - my DD has been very unhappy for the last week too. My husband has gone away for 18 days for "work" (conferences that include a whole lot more partying with friends than actually working). He travels quite a bit, but as DD gets older, it disrupts her life more and more. Her sleep has been dreadful since he went away - if I start our bedtime routine at 7:30, I'm lucky to have her asleep by 10, she's waking up in the middle of the night, and up at 6:30 in the morning. Of course she's a total wreck, the poor girl is tired. She has started having tantrums unlike anything we've ever experienced - she used to just be a screamer, but now she's throwing things around. And she requires constant interaction. If I tell her I need a few minutes of quiet time, she just screams "no, you don't - you don't need quiet time" and melts down and starts to throw things. I've been on my own with her a lot, but this is way harder than usual. I feel like she's just sucking the life out of me - and I've only been on my own for 6 days! Well, I should now get myself away from the computer and go clean the kitchen so that I can get to bed before midnight:)
newmamalizzy do you have any day care options where you can drop dd off for a couple mornings a week?
So, the day after I wrote this DD and I were attacked by a devilish cold. Not that having a cold while caring for a cold-y toddler is easy (why are they never quite as miserable as you are???), but I hope it explains the particularly terrible behavior. Thanks for all the support. It really helps so much when things are feeling crazy.
Snapdragon, there are lots of daycare options, but I don't think we can swing it financially, even for a few days. I do need to work harder on getting myself regular breaks somehow, though. DBF has been working Saturdays on top of his usual 12 hour days, so he's not able to give me a break very often. My parents are close by, but I don't trust them enough to leave her there on a regular basis. So...I have to think about it. I'm trying to take her to more places with kids, because that seems to inspire her to play instead of chatter :)
Mamapenguin, I really feel for you being alone with your DD for so long. You must be feeling so frazzled, and I'm sure it's worse when your DD misses her Daddy. My daughter responds exactly the same way when I say I need quiet time. "But who can I talk to???? Whaaaaaaaa!!!!!!"

Felix Takes Over National Lead At Spec Towns Invite
April 8, 2011
ATHENS, Ga. --- Junior Colleen Felix exploded for the nation's longest triple jump of the year to highlight the first day of the Spec Towns National Team Invitational in Athens on Friday afternoon.
Saturday's action begins with the women's Open 1500-meter run at 10 a.m. The first field event of the day is the women's javelin at 11 a.m. There is free admission to the meet throughout the weekend.
"This was an overall super performance to start this meet," said head coach Wayne Norton. "But I can't be surprised by our performances at this meet. We needed to have it this weekend and traditionally we have performed very well at home. Most of the marks today were career bests or near them. This is an important meet for us and in fact the whole month of April is big for us. I hope this brings more good things for us (on Saturday)."
Felix took off on her second attempt and grabbed the nation's lead with a personal-best mark of 44 feet, 6 ¾ inches. She won the meet after topping sophomore teammate Maria Augutis by two feet. Felix's mark ranks as the second-best jump in school history and is the longest for the Lady Bulldogs since 2006.
Felix, who is 10th on the 2011 world performance list, led a 1-2-3-4 finish in the triple jump. Augutis was the runner-up after reaching a season-best 42-4.75 on her third effort. Finishing third was sophomore Saniel Atkinson, who moved into the No. 10 spot in the record books after soaring a personal-best distance of 42-1.50.
"Good to have Colleen back in the triple jump after she was out of the event for about a month," said Norton. "She returned at a high level which is promising for the rest of the season."
Junior Latroya Darrell was Georgia's fourth scorer after following up four fouls with a mark of 42-1.25.
The Bulldogs managed a third-place and a fifth-place finish in the men's triple jump with a pair of career-best efforts. Junior Aaron LaGarde jumped from ninth to seventh on the UGA all-time top-10 list with the second-longest mark in the nation this year (52-7.50).
Senior Asaph Levy, who will be attending medical school after his career wraps up with the Bulldogs, traveled a personal-long distance of 50-7.50 on his sixth and final jump of the competition for fifth place.
Meet winner Ryan Grinnell also has a history with the Bulldogs. Grinnell was a six-time All-American while Georgia assistant coach Petros Kyprianou coached him at Boise State. Grinnell hit a personal-best mark of 54-4.75 on his sixth and final jump on Friday. He is now living in Athens and training with Kyprianou.
Junior Nikola Lomnicka was the second collegiate finisher (fourth overall) in the women's hammer after her opening throw traveled 208 feet. Former Lady Bulldog All-American Sultana Frizell represented Canada in the event and was the runner-up with a mark of 228-6.
In addition, freshman Hilenn James finished fifth in the hammer after her second attempt measured 48-3.25.
Also of note, national leader and Virginia Tech senior Marcel Lomnicky won the men's hammer with a throw 232-6. Lomnicky is the older brother of the Lady Bulldogs' Nikola Lomnicka, who captured the victory in the women's hammer.
Live results for the remainder of the Spec Towns meet and a recap from the action will be located at georgiadogs.com.

Somewhere in the United States of America is a man named Sam Bacile or at least a man with another name who tells the world that he is Sam Bacile. Sam created the ludicrous film which depicts Mohammen as a fraud, a sexual predator and other such niceties that are bound to make Muslims be happy. "Sam"claims the Muslim religion is a fraud and a "cancer"running wild in the world. At points Sam is a Coptic Christian, at other points an Israeli and at other points an angry white Christian who hates anything connected with the Muslim religion.
Sam does not have any guilty feelings because Americans were killed in Libya and notes that security was not very effective. If Sam really wants a religion to kick around how about the Mormon religion with its wild claims and belief in polygamy? Or, how about Christianity since Christians were responsible of the Holocaust? Every religion has plenty of violence and hatred in its present and past. Just think about the Tea Party which cheers if a person lacks medical insurance and can die!

Yucky, Mucky First Steps
Last weekend it was supposed to be 60 degrees, a balmy mid-winter day here in New Jersey, so I decided it was time for a hike. I had been building up to this for some time. This wasn't just any hike. This would be our first hike together as a family of four. My husband Chris and 4-year-old daughter Anna welcomed a new addition to our family – Emily Rose -- in November. This would be Emily's first hike -- ever.
I strayed from hiking while pregnant even though it is really my favorite thing to do. I've hiked Kilimanjaro three times to raise money for AIDS orphans. Still, I wasn't fond of the uneven ground and my loss of balance while carrying a baby in my belly so I stuck with prenatal water fitness, the elliptical trainer and flat walks. (Yawn).
But now as I look to new adventures, such as Crater Lake and Machu Picchu which I hope to conquer soon, it was time to get moving.
Well, it wasn't 60 degrees on the morning of our hike. It was barely 40 with a thick fog. But I had packed a bag the night before with water, granola bars, changes of clothes and diapers (now that I'm a mother of two I feel like I'm always packing bags of some sort) and I was bound and determined to go. So we went, with Emily in the Ergo Baby carrier.
Watchung Reservation was spooky with all the fog but once we started hiking the woods welcomed us. It felt great to get out of the house after weeks of feeling shut in with the weather and being a new mom. The mucky, yucky ground squished under my boots. My older daughter delighted in going over bridges and stepping around (and sometimes in) puddles. Emily slept through the whole thing. We were on the right path.
There is something so wonderful about taking first steps, even if they are on a cold mucky day. What kinds of first steps will you take this month?
Happy Trails!

Very quiet...Very beautiful...Serene...Peaceful - just what we needed to get away from daily "life"!
Your cabin is lovely, thank you so much for the opportunity to enjoy it for a couple of days! The heavens declare the glory of God - the skies the work of his Hands!
We had an amazing stay in this beautiful, cozy and immaculately
maintained cabin. The views were spectacular. It is close to town where you can find everything you need without having to waste time looking for food, gas etc.. The owners were very helpful, giving us insights and ideas on how to best enjoy the area. We highly recommend this breath taking cabin in such a majestic place which was so difficult to leave.
Reach the Heavens Cabin is a very beautifully furnished and welcoming place to stay. The pictures provided are exactly what you will find when you arrive. The cabin is very clean and well-maintained. The newer type night lights, which I brought, would be helpful for anyone who does not like a Very Dark house at night. I had a question after arriving and called Maritza, which she promptly answered, and even the caretaker, Chad, called to answer my questions. I would highly recommend Reach the Heavens Cabin as a place to stay at. The last section of road to the cabin is gravel and steep at a couple of places. The best part is that the cabin is not far from the main highway, but far enough not to hear the traffic. My boyfriend and I were there for four nights as a birthday getaway for myself. We went out two of the days and visited the surrounding areas. The other days we stayed in and relaxed and enjoyed the gorgeous views out the windows of the cabin. We saw dear and turkeys each morning.
My boyfriend and I were looking for a cabin that was secluded and had a nice view of the mountains, and this one was perfect. Everything was clean and welcoming, and we loved listening to/watching the wildlife as we had our coffee on the porch every morning. It looks like some land is being cleared in an adjacent property, ostensibly for another cabin, which would be a shame because we loved that we couldn't see or hear any other people while we were there. We had a very peaceful and comfortable stay!
We love the cabin, the location was great, it had a little bit of everything because even when is in the mountain, it is also close to town, where is easy to find groceries, movies to rent, gas, etc. the cabin is beautiful and the attention of the owners and his assistance on town is great. Highly recommended. !!! Thank you.
We had a wonderful time at this cabin. The views are spectacular right from the front porch. The wild life roaming free. Just sit back and watch outside on inside. There are large windows all around the cabin so you can see the woods and mountain views and watch the wildlife. Very quiet and peaceful. The cabin is very attractive and cozy with lots of room. We would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get away from it all.
This log cabin was just beautiful very clean and the view was just breath taking, very quiet and cozy we seen deer everyday if our stay. We loved the little town of Independence very country. The owners were very nice and answered any questions right away. Thanks again for a great vacation in the mountains we will return again !!!
Our cabin is situated in the Blue Ridge Highlands of southwest Virginia, right on Grayson County, just 17 miles from Mouth of Wilson. You can experience 'America's Favorite Ride' on the Blue Ridge Parkway, just 21 miles, & Boone, NC is 59 miles from us. For those a bit more daring, you are minutes away from Jefferson Nat'l Forest, with its many trails (400 miles), waterfalls & stunning views. There you can find Mt. Rogers, the highest peak in Virginia. The New River is just 8 miles away for all kinds of activities. The small city of Galax & Independence brings to you restaurants and many recreational activities.

Where Do i go when disaster strikes?
I am brand new to this site so excuse me if i'm asking a question that's already been answered...I live in the Inland Empire (60 Miles East of Los Angeles). If disaster were to strike, i wanna get the hell out of major population areas. 1) where do i go and how do i plan it? Would I look for an area somewhere at the boundry of my car's gas tank? 2) for my wife and i, what items should i bring other than guns, ammo and as much food/water we are capable of carrying? 3) how do we find other "Friendlies" out there through some sort of portable communication? 4) anything i have missed? Thanks!!!!
You don't have many good options to travel. Perhaps head up the 15 towards Victorville. Once you are on the far side of the San Gabriels there are plenty of roads to take wherever you want. The alternate route is to head east into the desert towards Joshua Tree by the 10 or 210 or maybe the Salton Sea. Or south to Temecula via 15 or 215. Or you could just try to scurry up into the mountains and wait it out at Crystal Lake or Mount Baldy or Big Bear like every one else N of the 210 will try.
The map shows hwy 39 going thru to hwy 2. It doesn't. It is gated just past Crystal lake and has been for many years due to landslide problems. It would be viable for bike or motorcycle.
I don't see lots of route options for ANY of these possibilities. Too many people channeled onto too few roads in the middle of butt blistering desert. Disaster might well leave surface streets and freeways impassable. It did after the Northridge quake. Besides, there is no point in bugging out until you've a place to bug out to. If you plan to bug out, getting the place is priority one.
The only friendlies out there are people you already know. There is no network of "approved" survivalists just waiting to help you out.
Bugging in makes much more sense. Keep your preps quiet and defend yourself if needed.
to my hunting camp in the hills I'll be heading to the hills
Unless you live in the city, I would not bug out. The danger level increases once you leave your home. Load up on preps, secure your dwelling, and hold your own if possible. Bugging out to towards the Mojave desert can turn you into food for the wildlife or worse.
|The Following User Says Thank You to LeftCoast Grower For This Useful Post:
try networking with like minded people you know but be very selective in those associations.
If you can not sale out and move to a more rural area then in a shtf deal, bugging in would be your best bet. As mentioned, leaving your home into hostile territory (which will be everywhere) is not a good idea. Try to put things in place at your home that will deter problems. Bars on windows, double reinforce your doors, very strong dead bolts, dogs with an attitude for alarming you and for deterring scumbags. Anything you can think of no matter how small that can make your family safer is crucial. Unfortunately I don't think your chances of leaving the Los Angeles area in a true shtf scenario sounds like a good idea at all, especially if you have wife and kids with you.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Spartan300 For This Useful Post:
What makes you think you would get anywhere on a public road when millions of others with the same idea and no preparation would be clogging the roads with break downs and running out of fuel. Not to mention government road blocks. Remember, people in LA during Katrina were NOT ALLOWED to leave and forced into the stadium?
ATV / Off road bike / Sail boat.
Hunker down during daytime and travel at night with no lights.
Unlikely anyone will be "friendlies" including and especially the authorities.
There are ways that if you pre plan with a few others who are dependable you can make your neighborhood inaccessible to outsiders in a very short time, and more defend able at the same time. Only bug out if you must. Have a plan, and a back up plan when that one doesn't work. Own chain saws.
A life long friend in my neighborhood and I both own large areas of wilderness 300 miles north of Boston. He couldn't understand why I insisted on buying on a salt water river til I asked him how he planned on getting to his property in an emergency.
The only reason I'd bug out is if it was evident my front door was going to be smashed down. If your front door is smashed down, it would be a shame if the highlight of the breach was the door hitting the floor, if you get my gist. Diversions increase your escape time and give you a head start out the back, which you already planned, and planned again.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Spindrift For This Useful Post:
Your home unless you are at ground zero is and will always be the best place. All the hype of bugging out is just that, hype. That doesn't mean there isn't a time and place for that - but unless your home is ground zero I would hunker down.
Store food preps, guns, ammo and most importantly get your family on the same page as you
Hmmm, where do you go in California when disaster strikes? The only thing I need to know to answer that question is, how's your relationship with God?
IF i needed to.
Where the OP is located, my opinion, if he owns his property and doesn't have close neighbors is to:
1) Make SURE you can secure a water source. You're in the desert and that will be your most pressing concern.
2) Build yourself a "safe area" or room in your house, even if it's under ground. You will need a place to hide when the heards of bleating sheeple come rumbling through your area. And they will, trust me. Make sure it's big enough to hide guns, ammo, food, water and your family.
If you rent? GET OUT while you can. Move to somewhere else. Desert travel is NO JOKE! You can't do anything with someone elses property. If the Land lord gets desperate, he may very well bug out to where you're at and "remove" you. If you HAVE to travel through the desert:
1)Travel at night with as little light as possible, as quickly as possible.
2) Take PLENTY of water! You're in the desert. At least three gallons/person/day MINIMAL for drinking only, for as long as you're doing desert travel.
3) Gasoline. If you see "it" coming, store up as much as you can. You do NOT want to run out in the desert.
4) You need a trailer to carry supplies. You're going through the desert, you'll need those supplies. Especially if you're stopped in the desert.
5) Make sure your BOV is well maintained, You DON'T want to break down in the DESERT. Desert survival is NO fun, and it's not a joke!
Normally, I am one of those people who does with as little as I can possibly get by with. However, if I had to prepare for traveling across the desert with my family, I'll take as much "gear" as I can get my hands on.
I have survived in the desert for a week with almost no gear at all, ONCE.
I was able to find water, but I got pretty thirsty and hungry a few times. I would NOT want to do this toting my family around, you'll most likely get them killed.

If the SHTF how do you think those of us with mortgages will make it, do you think they will just kick us out?
Maybe not. Besides that, I was talking about if you OWN your house (such as it is). If you have a mortgage, you do not own it.
I relocated here from looniefornia about 30 years ago, and have never regretted it. I would strongly advise you to consider doing the same thing.
Buy a 5-10 acre lot in the woods by water if you can, Also may want to consider building a hidden bunker/underground cabin stocked and ready to go. enough for the family. Make access to the camp as hidden as possable.
Hi Ebay.
I worked just south of you with Red Cross during the fires in 2007. Mostly S. Bernadina and Riverside, so I don't know that much about Inland Empire. With some disasters (wildfires) you may not have a choice of staying put. My suggestion is to start thinking hard about your choices now. Most of the people that show up in our shelters are those that drove till the tank was empty and we were their only option. While we will always try to make your stay as comfortable and safe as possible, a shelter is not a vacation. It should always be your last option. Plan now so that you don't become a refugee.

Annabelle Larsen's wake-up call came ten years ago, when she was 37. "I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and I realized that I'd better do something I really wanted to do with my life," she says. She decided to go back to school, signing up for a writing class at The New School in New York.
A decade later, she's in her final year at The New School, enrolled in the Riggio Honors Program for Writing and Democracy. Her health, she says, is great. "I'm extraordinarily grateful – they have a lot of drugs now that people didn't have access to that keep people with MS in stasis so they don't deteriorate, and they've been working well for me. I feel so fortunate," she says.
Annabelle has struggled to make ends meet ever since she went back to school. "A few semesters ago, the financial aid office said they'd run out of funds, and I was devastated – I had to withdraw for that semester. Before the next semester started, I met with the head of the financial aid office. I begged and I pleaded and I told her that finishing school was my goal in life. They actually found some funds, and I was able to go back. But I had no idea when I'd ever be able to graduate – every semester I was on pins and needles waiting to hear about funding," she says.
In early 2011, she was helping her boyfriend's mother, who had just turned 65, sign up for Medicare. "She didn't know where to look or what to do, but she'd been a member of AARP for a long time, and I started looking through AARP The Magazine for help. That's where I came across the AARP Foundation Women's Scholarship Program," she says.
Annabelle applied, and when she received the letter telling her she had been awarded a scholarship, she was overjoyed. "It was such a breath of fresh air. I got down on my knees and thanked God," she says. "I am so thankful to AARP Foundation for helping women out who really need it. We need all the support we can get, and it's a fabulous, fabulous program."
Her advice to other women who are thinking of going back to school? "Do it! Don't be intimidated – we have a lot more to offer than we think. We've had so many experiences that younger people can learn from that we're secondary teachers in a way. We have a lot to give, and people actually need to hear from us," she says.
She credits her younger friends in the writing community at The New School for encouraging her to submit her work for publication. "I didn't think I was good enough, but they told me I was," she says. "As a result, two of my short stories have been published in Twelfth Street, the Riggio Honors program's once-a-semester journal. I hope more will follow."
Ten years in school haven't deterred Annabelle from her love of learning. She plans to apply for graduate school to earn her MFA in writing, and then her Ph.D. "I have a lot of hopes and dreams," she says, "and I would love to be able to teach writing. Thank you, AARP Foundation, for helping make my dreams come true.

Golly, not sure where I will get my next car or food for my table? People woking for the electric company and cable cant carry guns neither. What am I to do? Boycott!@!
I worked for those jackasses for 10 years. Nothing about this story surprises me. Lots of people see a cheap price and quit looking, maybe some of those people will look at stories like this and find a better place to shop. From an employee standpoint (like most big corporations I suspect), Autozone has but one loyalty...to the stockholders. Hope the employee finds a better job.
Autozone is the only place I can find the German Castrol 0W30. Sounds like, according to the story, the sack of dirt was trying to escape when the employee confronted him. Under those circumstances, at that point, seems like allowing his escape would have been the safest bet. I'm relying on what was reported in the media, but what he did seems like the most dangerous course of action possible.
How would we be viewing this incident had the employee challenging the BG caused the BG to start shooting in the store wounding or killing someone? I worked with a lot of folks while working in management for AZ and can tell you from personal experience that there are not many of these guys that I would be comfortable with being armed. If someone had been shot because of this action, AZ would be liable (as they should be). The employee was out of the store and away from danger. He should have called the police and practiced being a good witness. Some of you don't want to shop at a store that doesn't allow it's employees to be armed, well I don't want to shop in a store where a bunch of folks that are untrained are running around with weapons. Not firing this employee would have sent a message to others that such actions were OK, and I can almost guarantee that at some point employees waving guns at BG's would end in a much worse tragedy than this guy getting fired.
A man, without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity. Human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him; and even this it cannot do long, if the signs of power do not arise.
Certainly, autozone has ever right to set its company policies. And legally, they seemingly have the right to fire said employee. But I am under no obligation to worry about AZ's liability risk or profit margins. They choose to fire the employee, and they risk losing my business. Surely, some lawyer or corporate executive weighed those risks and decided it was worth it. My guess is that it was more of a fear based decision rather then a hard look at the potential negative publicity costs.
I think its fair to say that there has been a certain amount of negative publicity. I would surmise that the average AZ customer is more gun friendly then the population at large. I can assure you that the most gun unfriendly people I know have never stepped into an AZ. Ultimately, I will choose not to shop at AZ for as long as I can remember this incident. I know that other auto stores might have the exact same policies, but they haven't proven to me that they will fire one of their employees in such a cold, lawyerly manner. And in the meantime, the employee who drove off an armed criminal has to miss a few paychecks, apply for a new job, explain himself to potentially skeptical employers, and hopefully find a sympathetic employer who will take care of him.
All of which reminds me of the story a few months back about progressive insurance, which helped defend the drunk driver who killed one of their own clients, in order to minimize the payout they would have to give to the dead girls family. Hopefully, I remember this story for the rest of my life and never use progressive.

That he did not become Compliant to a bully. Maybe we should just stop trying! That is what the brainwashing does to us. The Laws should be changed as they are in many states to support the Good Samaritan who risked his own life to try and save another. Risk! !!! That word stretches the second amendment many different ways. Eventually The supreme court will give in also

I respect the fact that businesses can set whatever policy they wish as it pertains to guns while at work. And from what we know of this story, the employee in question didn't handle it the best way he could have. However, I certainly don't feel he should have been fired over it. These "zero tolerance" policies do more harm than good in many cases, because most situations aren't black or white, but rather various shades of grey.
ETA: My choice in this instance was to stop patronizing AZ'z stores, and to let hem know why. They won't miss my few thousand dollars I spent there in the past and would have continued spending there had this not occurred, but they may miss the potentially very large sum of money that we all would have spent there, assuming that most of us actually follow through with the boycott idea.

I know Uncle Mikes makes one. I actually like it.
This is a discussion on Holsters that are IWB OR OWB? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have another thread floating around where someone had suggested a pure kustoms holster. I checked it out and one thing I really like is ...
I have another thread floating around where someone had suggested a pure kustoms holster. I checked it out and one thing I really like is that it could be worn both IWB AND OWB. Other then the pure kustoms black ops model, does anyone know of any other holsters that are "Convertible" with the ability to go IWB or OWB?
I know Uncle Mikes makes one. I actually like it.
I know not what this "overkill" means.
Honing the knives, Cleaning the longguns, Stocking up ammo.
Fist has a couple that are considerably less money than PK.
I just had one made by C5 Leather...I'll have pics of it up later.
That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure their are others if you keep searching.
Also, a lot of IWB holster can be worn OWB. Just lace your belt as you would for IWB, but with the holster outside the pants .
The Kydex Belt Holsters?. That's convertible between belt and paddle.I know Uncle Mikes makes one. I actually like it.
I would think it would be possible to make something to mount it IWB. Cheap enough to get one to tinker with. I think I just might.
Leather Gun Holster, Concealed carry holster - Simply Rugged, Proudly made in Alaska
Rob offers inside out straps on his pancake holsters
I have one of these on order for my Detonics from Carl at ccholsters.com
It's IWB/OWB, 3 week turn around, and $65. I plan to post a review after I get it.
Simply Rugged Holsters offer a convertible. Have one (Silver Dollar) on order now for my Taurus 85.
Why not have one of each? Personally though, IWB is the most comfortable and discreet way to carry in my opinion - that is if you have a well-made holster - doesn't mean it has to cost big $. Take care.
Check out Little Bear Holsters... I have one of his hybrid IWB/OWB on order he also will customize the holster to your likeing. I have thumb break and tuckable loops being done.
Little Bear Custom Holsters - *****I am not one to sit around and talk about myself but here it goes.My name is Dave Galloway,*I built this company after leaving*the military/law enforcement, in 2006, after 10 years.* I have extensive small a
Bill N. - N3OKI
2 the chest, 1 to the head
Luke 22:36 "If thou hast not a sword, sell thy cloak and buy one."
Exodus 22:2 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed."
Just my 2cents worth Rocky's Pure Kustom is an exceptionally well made holster. You get what you pay for, quality isn't cheap. Pay close attention to the craftsmanship the stitching and form fit. This is one FINE holster and very comfortable also! Hey would Santa steer you wrong?
K&D has the "Thunderbird" which can go both ways. I have one for my P232 and it is a very, very nice holster.
When Seconds Count, The Cops Are Just Minutes Away!!
Carry On!
FIST #43 works IWB or OWB. I have a couple of them for different guns. They work exceedingly well. High quality and reasonable price.
De gustibus non est disputandem
Raven concealments; phantom concealment modular holsters are IWB/OWB...
