The strange future of antibiotics
We're publishing the shortlisted entries to the 2012 Wellcome Trust Science Writing Prize. Here, Russell Fraser on the paucity of new antibiotics and the unusual new armaments in the war against bacterial resistance.
Our current arsenal of antibiotic medications is becoming increasingly ineffective, and scientists are turning to unusual sources for new drugs. From alligator blood to cockroach brains to marijuana, chemicals are being discovered that will one day shape the future of antibiotic therapy.
The story of antibiotic resistance begins with Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin in 1928. Fleming, a brilliant scientist and notorious slob, returned from a family vacation to find an improperly stored culture of bacteria contaminated with mould. In what would turn out to be a fortunate mistake, Fleming had discovered 'mould juice,' better known today as penicillin.
Mass production of penicillin began in earnest during World War II. Its widespread use saved many lives, but also led to the development of resistance not long after it was introduced. The pharmaceutical industry responded by developing a new drug called methicillin in 1959, but its success was short lived. A particular type of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus quickly became resistant, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is still a problem today. Some forms of MRSA are now resistant to all but the most potent of antibiotics. Other types of bacteria, from anthrax to gonorrhea, are catching up. These 'superbugs' are a serious problem, especially in hospitals, where immunocompromised patients are at particular risk for developing severe infections. In an effort to address the problem, hospitals hold in reserve certain antibiotics, with the hope that limiting their use will allow them to remain effective. This tactic has helped, but resistance to even these last-line antibiotics is emerging.
The pharmaceutical industry isn't keeping up. Only two new classes of antibiotic have been developed in the past 40 years, in part due to the large cost of development and poor return that antibiotics generate. Some enterprising academics, however, are rising to the challenge and looking in strange places for new drugs.
The murky swamps of Louisiana in the United States are a stark contrast to the sterile, pristine environment of a scientific research laboratory, but the alligators that prowl the waters may hold some answers.
It may seem strange, but the reasoning is simple: if animals who are exposed to vast numbers of bacteria do not develop infections, they must have an effective method of fighting them off. Alligators, for example, resolve their differences using their large (and rather unhygienic) teeth. The wounds suffered rarely become infected, despite lack of access to proper healthcare, meaning that alligators must have some way of keeping the constant barrage of bacteria at bay.
This simple observation led scientist Mark Merchant of Louisiana State University to investigate further. Merchant trapped and drew blood from several alligators and from it isolated the white blood cells. He then broke the white blood cells apart and tested how well the contents killed various bacteria, viruses and fungi.
The results were surprisingly good. The extract was able to kill a wide range of bacteria and several different yeast organisms. The difficulty now is identifying exactly what it was in that extract (he suspects a protein) that was responsible for the antibiotic effect.
A similar story can be told about cockroaches. These maligned but remarkable creatures can live for more than 45 minutes without air and inevitably encounter significant bacterial challenges scurrying around the dark and dirty crevices of our cities. But like alligators, they remain largely free from infection.
Simon Lee of the University of Nottingham discovered that a purée made from mashed cockroach brains exhibited a powerful antibiotic effect against a strain of MRSA. Like Merchant, Lee now faces the challenge of isolating and identifying the particular protein within the brain purée responsible for its antibiotic effect.
Other sources of inspiration are similarly strange, though not animal in nature. Some of the most common drugs used today, such as aspirin, are based on compounds originally derived from plants. Marijuana may not be the first plant you would think of in a search for antibiotics, but at least five of the chemicals in marijuana are able to significantly inhibit the growth of bacteria. Though still awaiting rigorous scientific investigation, cannabinoids hold definite antibacterial promise, and seem to be particularly suited for use as an ointment applied to the skin.
It's unlikely that gator blood, roach brains or pot will ever form your next prescription, but the chemicals isolated may serve as the foundation for a much needed new class of antibiotic drug. It is somehow somewhat reassuring to know that innovative minds are identifying strange but unique additions to our arsenal in the battle against the superbugs.

In examining the potential market for Jose Reyes, we must first realize there are no concrete numbers. There's "Carl Crawford Money," as Fred Wilpon so eloquently called it. The $142 million over seven years given the Boston outfielder is the fuel behind speculation of Reyes' reported quest of $100-plus million over seven years.
But, it is 0nly speculation, and we won't have a frame of reference before the first offer is made and Reyes' camp presents a counter. Until then, every number – including mine – is only an opinion. Reyes' agent has not publicly stated any contractual demands.
What we do know is few teams can afford a $100 million contract, so the pool is pretty shallow.
So, let's take a look at some of the teams reportedly in the mix for Reyes, their needs and what might be holding them back.
Boston: The Red Sox are a franchise in turmoil and realize they must do something dramatic to win back their emotional fan base. They have a need for a shortstop, leadoff hitter – Crawford doesn't prefer that role – and, of course, to keep pace with the Yankees. They have the resources, even though they are burdened with several huge contracts, notably Adrian Gonzalez, Crawford, John Lackey, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Josh Beckett. Plus, they'll have to pay Jacoby Ellsbury in arbitration.
However, change should take money off the books in the form of David Ortiz, Jason Varitek and J.D. Drew.
The Red Sox are not a stagnant organization. They made overtures for Reyes before and will likely do so again.
New York: As a matter of course, you have to list the Yankees because, well, afterall they are the Yankees. We know they have the money and could have even more of it if they don't retain C.C. Sabathia.
However, pitching is their priority, and if they don't bring back Sabathia they will throw it at C.J. Wilson or a cast of thousands.
The obstacles in signing Reyes will be in getting Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez – both with huge contracts and egos – to change their positions. That won't happen. Jeter will not give up shortstop to move to third, even though Rodriguez will get more and more DH at-bats, especially with Jorge Posada not coming back.
A wild thought is would Reyes be willing to come to the Yankees to play the outfield? I don't think he'll do it, but what if the money was too good?
Just a thought.
Anaheim: Owner Arte Moreno has the money and shown to be a progressive owner. The team missed the playoffs the last two years and he's not one to sit tight.
First things first, the Angels need to name a general manager, who'll decide the team's identity. One thing for sure, Reyes is better than Erick Aybar.
Chicago: I wouldn't label the White Sox serious contenders, but with new manager Robin Ventura they are a team in transition. As a large market team needing to compete with the Cubs, they can't be overlooked as they have g0ne after high profile players before.
Their current shortstop Alexei Ramirez tailed off last season, but has enough of a track record to where there isn't a compelling need to move him.
The White Sox have several decisions to make, including pitcher Mark Buehrle, but I can see Reyes' camp approaching them, if for no other reason to widen the pool.
Mets: We'll see how serious the Mets are about Reyes when they have their exclusive negotiating window following the World Series. They say they'd like to keep him and have the money, but at the same time GM Sandy Alderson is talking about shaving $30 million off the payroll.
Alderson said the Mets would like to keep Reyes, he didn't say they want to keep him, and there's a difference. There seems to be so sense of urgency from the Mets on Reyes. That indifference could push him out the door.
When you big picture things, the Mets haven't won with Reyes, and with their current financial situation might be better off using that money to fix several other holes.
Philadelphia: Shane Victorino will have to just accept Reyes. The Phillies, if they lose Jimmy Rollins, should come after Reyes hard. Ryan Howard's injury would make it more compelling to add offense.
Remember when Andy Pettitte said he wouldn't sign with the Red Sox because they are the Red Sox and he would always be a Yankee at heart? Nope. Reyes doesn't have those feelings.
Philadelphia has the money and certainly doesn't want to waste all that pitching with a stagnant offense. The Phillies will be players in this.
Milwaukee: Reyes has a supporter in Ryan Braun, and the Brewers seem resigned to have Prince Fielder leaving. If the Brewers lose in the playoffs, then have Fielder bolt, they'll have to do something to keep the fan base.
Normally, you don't think of the Brewers as a spending team, but things have changed with Miller Park and the franchise, while not crazy, is a little more liberal than it had been.
St. Louis: I have seen the Cardinals mentioned several times, but I don't see the fit. St. Louis is committed in re-signing Albert Pujols, which is one reason they threw a lot of money at Matt Holliday.
Tony La Russa might be just the manager to get Reyes to reach his potential, but the Cardinals aren't likely to add a third $100-plus million package.
Chicago: We know the Cubs have the money and a new regime, but they also have an excellent shortstop in Starlin Castro and their eyes on Fielder.
It won't happen here.
San Francisco: Reportedly, the Giants don't have, or want, to spend the money on what it would take to get Reyes, but I'm not buying it. There's a sense of urgency for the Giants to return to the playoffs after winning the World Series in 2010.
They definitely have the pitching to take them there, but are lacking offense. Maybe, they'll re-sign Carlos Beltran, but their need is a shortstop and speed. Reyes will still be a triples machine in that park.
Over the next couple of seasons, the Giants will have several contracts off the books, including Barry Zito's in two years (no way will he get the innings for his option to be picked up in 2014).
Los Angeles: This is a team in worse financial straits than the Mets. Small wonder Joe Torre left.

Executive Leadership Development Residency
Centura Health executive team proudly presents the Nebula/Nurse Executive residency program for associates. This new and innovative program is intended to prepare a pipeline of internal candidates for future leadership positions within Centura Health. This program is intended for leaders who aspire to be in a health care executive role.
The Nebula* program allows select director-level or physician leaders to participate in many forms of development within a cohort of their peers from across the Centura Health system. The face-to-face component of this program is four, two-day intensive sessions spread across the year. During those sessions, our leaders will partner with external facilitators to deliver a variety of leadership content addressing leadership areas such as business acumen, setting health care strategy, emotional intelligence, executive presence, leading change, innovation, coaching and developing staff and decision making. Additional development will include assessments of participants' leadership capability, applying new skills and behaviors in project teamwork, and an opportunity to receive coaching to continue to improve leadership abilities.
Why do we call it Nebula? Because nebula is scientifically defined as a collection of interstellar particles from which stars are born. We are excited to provide an opportunity to help shape Centura Health's future "stars" through our Leadership Nebula. This program is selective and requires a significant time commitment on the participant's part. Approximately 40 hours per quarter (about 3 hours per week) of time should be committed for one year.
The residency program is one year in length. This is a preceptor, experiential program with required classroom time, online assignments, and a project. Estimated time to complete all components of the residency program is about 15 hours/month.
For further information, please contact Noreen Bernard.

"We are not stand-up comedians. Our show is not a passive, sit-back-and-watch experience. Most of the fun we have on stage comes from our inclusion of the audience – we get suggestions from them to begin each scene we perform, and in certain instances, bring them on-stage with us to add to our performance. It's less a 'show' and more a party. At least it feels like one to me. This group of actors brings me right back to how I started out in comedy – maybe that's why we have so much fun doing it." – Jim Belushi
With more than thirty years of experience and an alumnus of "Saturday Night Live" and Chicago's famed Second City, JIM BELUSHI is now bringing to the stage an improvised comedy sketch show featuring members of the Board of Comedy.
Belushi starred on the ABC hit comedy "According to Jim," on which he also served as executive producer, music composer and director. After wrapping 182 episodes for its eighth and final season, the family favorite series also hit a milestone when it launched into off-net syndication in 2007. A favorite of film, television and stage audiences, Belushi is one of the great leading character actors equally at home in drama and comedy, and a gifted performer who can also hold a room as front man of a rhythm and blues band. Accompanying Belushi are Larry Joe Campbell, Joshua Funk, Megan Grano, and Trey Stone*, all of whom are classically trained professional improvisers who tour regularly nationwide.

Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles Is Pregnant
It has seemed like Jennifer Nettles has been extra bubbly during her first season of 'Duets' on ABC. The Sugarland singer and reality television judge is close to five months pregnant! The band's manager broke the news to People on Monday morning.
"They are thrilled beyond belief," Gail Gellman said. Last November, Nettles married longtime boyfriend Justin Miller during a small, private ceremony in Tennessee. The new arrival — the first for both of them — should coincide with the couple's first wedding anniversary.
The 37-year-old Nettles is always glowing on stage or in front of the camera, but this summer she'll no doubt be extra smiley, in addition to being extra tired. The band has a solid wall of shows planned through early September. It's impressive that Nettles has been able to keep this secret from fans and reporters during recent shows on the In Your Hands tour. Congratulations to the happy couple!

CRESTVIEW � Even the threat of Tropical Storm Karen couldn't dampen the Bulldog spirit as the annual Homecoming parade rolled up Main Street Friday afternoon.
CRESTVIEW � Even the threat of Tropical Storm Karen couldn't dampen the Bulldog spirit as the annual Homecoming parade rolled up Main Street Friday afternoon.
Fortunately, the rain held off as the Army JROTC battalion and the Big Red Machine led the parade, which included the Homecoming court princesses, princes, alumni and local supporters.
View the photo gallery here
Alysa Schoffner and her friend Deja Patterson eagerly awaited the start of the parade to catch a glimpse of Alysa's cousin, Daz Schoffner, a trombonist in the high school band.
Farther down the street, Brayden Powell, 6, kept a wary eye on the rolling floats and vehicles as he dodged the barricades to snag some elusive candy tossed by a marching unit.
Nearby, Sarah Reese, a familiar Crestview figure, popped out of Coney Island Hotdogs with a tasty hamburger to feast on after she took her position along the street to watch the parade.
The first marchers finished and worked their back up Main Street even as marching units and business entries were just starting to roll.
James Small, 12, proudly indicated a high school junior uniformed as a member of the high school Junior ROTC battalion who had walked back down the street after his unit disbanded.
"This is my big brother!" James said, proudly putting his arm around Joey Small's neck.
Though the parade drew hundreds of area students, parents, alumni and supporters, the Okaloosa County School District cancelled weekend events due to the impending storm.
An earlier version of this article erroneously said the homecoming game was canceled.

Rule #1. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is… RUN.
Rule #2. Don't give your address out unless you have the other persons email address and phone number.
Rule#3. There are tons of scams. If you are selling something and you accept a fake check or money order you are going to be pretty upset. Require CASH if under a couple hundred dollars.
Rule #4. Meet in an area you are familiar with and take someone with you. You may even want to do some Google searches on the phone number someone gives you, the address they give you and the name of the person. You just never know what may come up.
Rule #5. If you are selling something that is high priced you may want to meet at a local bank. Get the money in the bank, deposit the cash in the bank and then give the product.
Rule #6. Give a bill of sale and your terms. If no warranty put that. Be specific as to the terms so no misunderstandings exist at a later date.
Rule #7. Think! Don't be so excited about seeing something or selling something that you miss all the signs that lead to you getting yourself in a weird position.
Be smart and you will do just fine.

Wiley & Sons, 1998 - Nature - 604 pages
"The Sea" is a prestigious series with a history going back to the classic three volume treatise published by Wiley in 1962-63. Now, under the leadership of Allan Robinson, the series is again being extended with five new volumes currently planned that emphasizing the "interaction" of physical, chemical and biological oceanography. "Coastal Ocean Phenomena" is the first of these new volumes, and it deals with the general principles governing ocean phenomena in regions of shallower water near land. Processes such as tidal effects, global sea level changes, biological productivity, and sediment transport are analyzed. Models and methods are emphasized, including remote sensing, models of coastal ocean circulation, and data acquisition.Volume 10 presents the general principles, and volume 11 is organized geographically to presents the results of 35 of regional studies: Eastern North America, the Caribbean, the North Sea and Baltic, the Mediterranean Sea, and so forth.Volume 10 is a readableand systematic introduction to coastal oceanography that is suitable for use with college courses, while volume 11 is a much larger reference work.Note that volumes 10 and 11 are available together as a set (ISBN 0471-11543-6, tent $175.00.).

Ravenous Couple: Cooking Up Life is one of the new blogs I discovered recently. Authored by Hong and Kim, Ravenous Couple is a chronicle of the authors' cooking and eating adventures, with an emphasis on Vietnamese cuisine.
As a Vietnamese food lover, I often refer to great blogs such as White on Rice Couple and Vietworld Kitchen for inspirations, and Ravenous Couple is a great addition to that space. Please welcome Hong and Kim as they share with us the popular Vietnamese Shaking Beef or Bo Luc Lac recipe.
It's been four months since we started Ravenous Couple and not much longer that we first discovered the world of blogging. Several blogs got us hooked and planted the seed, but if we were forced to single one out on a police line up, Rasa Malaysia would be the guilty one.
Yes, Bee you didn't know it then but now you do–your blog really inspired us to enthusiastically share our love of Vietnamese cuisine but to also learn about others as well.
So when Bee asked us to write a guest post on Bo luc lac (Vietnamese Shaking Beef), we were surprised and flattered–you mean us newbies? But we gladly accepted as it's one of our favorite dishes.
Not completely lost in translation, the "luc lac" is merely a description for the "shaking" or tossing of the beef back and forth in the wok after it's quickly seared.
It's a widely popular Vietnamese dish and as such, has many variations on how it's served. Some restaurants serve it with sauteed onions, lettuce, and rice (white or tomato paste rice) while others may present it more like a steak salad served on a bed of watercress and tomatoes, topped with pickled onions. Dipping sauces might vary from a lime/salt/pepper sauce to a soy chili sauce…
Regardless of how you serve bo luc lac, it's an easy and fantastic dish to make for a dinner for two or a party of ten. You can use any cut of steak you like such as filet or ribeye, but we prefer sirloin.

The Liberal Party of Canada announced today that it will oppose Bill S-10 over concerns that the bill disproportionately targets youth and would cause an explosion of costs to build new mega-prisons.
"This bill isn't tough on crime, it's dumb on crime," said Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff. "We're all in favour of cracking down on serious criminals, but this bill doesn't distinguish between massive grow-ops and a first-time offender with a small amount.
"What's more, the Conservatives won't tell us what the fiscal implications of this bill are. How many billions will it cost? How many mega-prisons will have to be built? For these reasons, we just can't support it," he said.
The government is hiding the numbers, as I said earlier this raises serious red flags, speaks volumes about actual cost. However, more importantly from this quarter, the Liberals are finally standing up for common sense on the crime front. This bill doesn't distinguish, it lumps the casual with the true criminals, it's a poorly written, blanket, piece of legislative garbage. The Liberals have offered amendments to go after the real targets, but the government has refused. There is no spirit of co-operation, it's just the typical ram through and force the opposition to blink. Enough!
I appreciate the risk the Liberals have taken, you can instanteously think of several soundbite counters that can warp what this stance really means. That said, it makes it easier to support a party which is prepared to take that risk, particularly given past capitulations. This stance is another signal to the Canadian people that the Liberals actually do stand for things, pander is replaced by principles in some regards. I see today's decision as a show of strength, another sign of an evolution into a true alternative to this government.
I think this party is finally, finally, finding its voice and the opposition to this nonsensical bill and the accompanying stonewall, is something I can surely get behind in a committed way. If you want people to believe in you, you have to give them something to believe in! A good day to be sure.

April 19, 2004
Los Angeles — On April 7, 2004, the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP) sponsored the 7th Annual Real Estate Challenge at the Cathedral Center in Downtown Los Angeles. UCLA Anderson School of Management students won the Challenge over MBA students at cross-town rival USC Marshall School of Business and took home the highly coveted Silver Shovel. With this win, UCLA Anderson is closing the gap with three wins compared to USC Marshall School's four.
Each year the task asked of both teams is different. This year, their job was to present development plans for improving four parcels on or adjacent to Grand Avenue in Downtown Los Angeles with a mixed-use, high-density development, urban renewal project. Their main goal is to create a landmark that will establish Grand Avenue as the heart and soul of a vibrant and exciting downtown.
UCLA Anderson presented a winning project that they called "The Metronome." This theme originated as their main focus for Grand Avenue is centered around music and how it could bring the cultural richness back into the community. The idea is to give many diverse backgrounds a common ground in which they can enjoy rich entertainment and music industry heritage. The proposed development will become a 24/7 attraction for local constituents and residents and visitors in Southern California at large. By day it would be a thriving commercial center with shops and businesses; by night a bustling entertainment node that complements Downtown's exciting and eclectic nighttime scene. The total project has an estimated cost of $630M and would generate revenues of $780M, which will deliver superior equity to investors and will compensate the City and County of Los Angeles for their land parcels.
The two business teams were given the project topic in January and each team was asked to put together a comprehensive package that would be presented to the panel of judges a week before the Challenge, with the second round of questions asked at the actual Challenge Event. Students are then scored in three different areas: written presentation, in-depth oral presentation to the judges and audience presentation.
The Real Estate Challenge first started in northern California between two other rival business schools, Stanford and University of California, Berkeley. It was only in 1997 that the idea was presented to UCLA Anderson and USC Marshall School, which is when the Annual UCLA-USC Real Estate Challenge was born. Since then the competition has only grown fiercer. The Challenge has covered topics like the impact of LAX expansion on Hawthorne Municipal Airport, the opportunity for development along the Figueroa Corridor due to the new Staples Center, and last year's task to select a piece of Downtown LA to revitalize.
UCLA Anderson School of Management and USC's Marshall School of Business both formed teams of five students each. UCLA Anderson was lead by team captain Rick Bashore of Ticor Title Company and USC Marshall School was guided by Paul Mc Donald of First American Title Insurance Company. The winning team from UCLA Anderson was made up of five very creative minds: Amir Tehrani, Mattan Lurie, Robert Shujman, Dan Mahoney and Laurie Smith. Their NAIOP supervisor was Stephen Dietrich, a lecturer in Entrepreneurial Real Estate Development at UCLA Anderson.

April Paper a Day Challenge: Week 2
Okay so here are some papers. I don't know if I'll ever completely catch up. And one paper turned into a two for one deal, which probably is cheating but....it's what I got right now. The previews turned out fuzzy, sorry about that.
Paint (& Bordered):
Mixed Pattern (2 papers):
My Border Paper
Day 12_Random/Scatter
I'm falling behind. Homework is heavy the last few days. Hope to catch up soon.
Mines a little more rustic today. I finally get to use my bird brushes!
I really love all your papers. One theme an so many ideas.
Two more papers from me
I'm going to try and get caught up.....been a BUSY week!!!
papers look great!!! Nice job everyone!
Here is my Random Scatter:
Everyone's been busy! Great papers. Just posted today's theme "start with a photo." I'm a bit nervous. I don't know if I have any photos to turn into a paper...I'll have to get creative.
Here's my scatter pattern from yesterday:
And my photo paper for today:
Scatter Paper
Starting with a photograph paper
Gorgeous Marisa!!
I am so glad my daughter cleaned her room yesterday, so I was able to make a picture of the floor
I recolored it in the color matching my palette.
My Scattered Paper
My Start with a photo paper
Start with a photo.
Whew...I fell behind! Some of these were much tougher than I expected...took a bit of playing around before I found something that I liked and would potentially use.
Multiple Patterns - Created in Photoshop from scratch
Border - This one took forever! I don't tend to use bordered papers, so I started over MANY times before settling on this. Once I stumbled on what I wanted to do, it did go quickly though. I used this ornamental border by Marisa. Just didn't have it in me to create something completely from scratch.
Scatter - Used some bokeh brushes from Photoshop Tutorials. Again this one was a toughie as I tend to prefer geometric shapes that are stretegially placed. I'm glad this challenge was given though...I would definitely use this paper.
Photo - This one I thought would be a piece of cake...had tons of photos to choose from. However, it was far more challenging than I expected. I'm not sure I'd use the paper (doesn't really suit my style of scrapping)...but think it looks okay. When I have more spare time, I'm going to have to play around. I love the idea of using photos as scrapbooking paper! Credit for the text in the photo goes to Obsidian Dawn. She has very user friendly terms of use for her gorgeous creations!
Just posted today's theme: Damask. I also googled Damask since I was wondering if it's actually what I think it is. I guess it technically refers more to the production process (weaving) than the pattern, but here's a sampling of patterns if you need help getting started.
@Janet S is there any chance you might be sharing some of these layered paper files you have made? I am loving them and the stitched one is fabulous. Your aesthetic is so similar to mine.
Here's my Damask. I traced one of the samples from the link I posted earlier.
Is anyone working on coordinating elements? I'm hoping to put these papers up sometime in May and I should probably start working on some elements...
Good Morning (at least here in Texas) Marisa, I am working on coordinating elements. I have 10 made so far and still working daily.
Here is my Damask
Off to make my second kit with this weeks papers

It has been a long time since I have reviewed any memory from Corsair as not many sexy and new attention-getting parts have come out in recent months. From the enthusiast perspective the last major release from Corsair was the new DOMINATOR 4GB DDR3 2000MHz memory kits, which are great products, but let's face it, not too many people can run at 2GHz. This is due to the fact Intel Quad-Core processors have Front Side Bus (FSB) limitations and the majority of DDR3 boards out there are Intel and the memory and FSB are linked together. The last reason this memory kit doesn't make a ton of news is because it still costs $839 at retailers even though the MSRP is just $675.
Today, we have a chance to look at a newly released part from Corsair that is part of the XMS brand line, which is Corsair's mainstream line of performance memory. The part that I will be looking at is a 4GB XMS3 DHX series kit that operates at 1600MHz with average 9-9-9-24 memory timings. The part number on this kit is TW3X4G1600C9DHXNV and it just happens to be NVIDIA EPP2.0 SLI-Ready system memory certified. This kit is priced at $344 with free shipping after a mail in rebate, so it's about half the price of the flagship speed demon mentioned above. With the global economic crisis that we are having, memory kits like this seem to appeal to a wider audience. If you look around at other retailers you'll notice that other DDR3 1600MHz (PC3-12800) memory kits start at around $249 and you might wonder what makes this memory kit so special, well it's all in the ICs, my friend.
The TW3X2G1600C9DHXNV memory kit is the first and only Corsair memory kit that uses Samsung based memory ICs. The majority of the other modules are using Micron memory ICs. That gives this kit a leg up over other companies as it is offering the latest in memory ICs. This specific memory kit has been verified to operate at 1600MHz at latencies of 9-9-9-24 at 1.8V VDIMM by Corsair, but as you will see later in our article, you can pull off timings of 6-7-6-18 at 1600MHz with some extra voltage.
Each module pair is tested together at 1600MHz on an NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboard before being packed and shipped to retailers. The labels on the memory modules tell you what the density of the module is, the memory timings and what voltage the memory should operate at. It also tells you other information like the model number, version number (our kit is version 4.1) and the individual module production number. I have been an advocate for labeling modules like this since 2002, so hats off to Corsair for being, what I believe, the only US company to put all the critical settings on the label for consumers.
The platinum spreaders look great and are built using Dual-path Heat Xchange technology, which you can get a closer look at on the next page.

It looks like you're in United States. Please go to Slice United States.Slice United States.
Our blades last longer than metal because they're made of harder material: 100 percent zirconium oxide. On the Mohs scale of hardness, zirconium oxide is harder than steel by several factors.
In general, once a blade is too dull it must be discarded. Our extremely hard ceramic blades retain their edge much longer than metal, which dulls quite quickly. How much longer will our blades retain their edge? According to an independent third-party test performed by the Cutlery and Allied Trades Association (CATRA) in December 2014, Slice ceramic blades last an average of 11.2 times longer than steel blades.
This means that every time you replace a Slice ceramic blade, you have already replaced an equivalent metal blade eleven times. Many of Slice's blades are double-edged as well which gives them twice the longevity. Slice ceramic blades' ability to retain sharpness gives them a much better value than traditional metal blades.

Along with the new products, I adore seeing all the beautiful work from designers around the world as they strive to show off the goodies. One thing I am noticing is the breaking of the rules. The visual triangle is no longer the priority. Instead, there is a real freedom in what is being created. I think it has something to do with the emphasis on mixed media. People are just expressing their art, letting go.
I don't do that well...LOL! I can't help my straight lines, but am I boring?
I was excited to see that a girl who breaks rules all the time is the Feb. guest designer for Webster's Pages. You all know her...Leslie Ashe! She uses layers like nobody's business. There is tilt here, there and everywhere. I admire her risk-taking! So, I went a bit free...
Yes, you will see straight lines, but there is curve and uneveness.

What My Blog is All About
As a Texas attorney practicing for 25 years, I have litigated all manner of wrongful death cases. I use this blog as a place to write opinion / editorial articles on a variety of topics that catch my interest and as a means of sharing news stories relevant to wrongful death accidents.
I think the overwhelming majority of people are unaware just how common these types of accidents are and I hope this blog raises awareness to a rather serious public safety concern. However, this blog is simply a means for me to share my opinions and I would recommend that anyone who is considering seeking legal counsel should contact their family attorney.

By Jeff Caplan, NBA.com
VIDEO: Dirk passes Oscar Robertson for 10th on the all-time scoring list
HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — Dirk Nowitzki, with a patented fallaway jumper from a few feet off the right elbow, surpassed Oscar Robertson as the NBA's 10th-all-time leading scorer.
Nowitzki, 35, joins the most exclusive of NBA clubs in which each member is recognized simply by first name or nickname. Dirk, the Dallas Mavericks' sweet-shooting 7-footer and an original stretch-4, certainly has that covered.
"Amazing, amazing. I mean top 10 is unreal," Nowitzki said following the 95-83 victory at Utah. "It's been a crazy ride. Passing Big O, who obviously averaged triple-doubles numerous seasons, is unbelievable. It feels surreal still. All night I wasn't really trying to think about it, I was trying to concentrate on the next shot. I knew how many points I needed, but I wasn't really trying to think about it. I was trying to think about the next shot and how I could get open."
Nowitzki, the 2007 regular-season MVP and 2011 champion and Finals MVP, now has 26,714 career points. He has also surpassed 30,000 total points that includes 128 postseason games.
NBA's All-Time Top 10 Scorers
1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 38,387
2. Karl Malone, 36,928
3. Michael Jordan, 32,292
4. Kobe Bryant, 31,700
5. Wilt Chamberlain, 31,419
6. Shaquille O'Neal, 28,596
7. Moses Malone, 27,409
8. Elvin Hayes, 27,313
9. Hakeem Olajuwon, 26,946
10. Dirk Nowitzki, 26,714
Nowitzki finished Tuesday night's crucial 95-83 victory at Utah with a game-high 21 points on 9-for-11 shooting, including 2-for-3 from beyond the arc. He scored 13 points in the first half and moved past Robertson to open the fourth quarter off a pass from Devin Harris.
Fresh off being named the Western Conference's Player of the Week, a four-game stretch in which he averaged 25.3 ppg, Nowitzki has propelled Dallas to a 4-0 road trip that has it in the driver's seat to secure one of the final two playoff spots.
The Mavs (48-31) have three games left. They play San Antonio at home on Thursday and then finish with critical games against Phoenix at home on Saturday and then at Memphis on Wednesday.
Nowitzki, who struggled to regain his All-Star form last season after undergoing knee surgery during training camp, was devastated when the Mavs missed the playoffs for the first time since 1999-2000.
He started this season, his 16th, at No. 17 on the league's all-time scoring list. Along the way he's moved ahead of Jerry West, Reggie Miller, Alex English, Kevin Garnett, John Havlicek, Dominique Wilkins and now the Big O.
Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant, No. 4 on the all-time list with 31,700 points, 592 behind No. 3 Michael Jordan are the only active players in the top 10.
This is Nowitzki's final year of his contract, but he has made it clear that he plans to re-sign with the Mavericks for another two or three seasons.
"This is my 30th year in the NBA and one of the few times I've truly been in awe of an accomplishment," said Mavs coach Rick Carlisle, who has been with Nowitzki since the start of the 2008-09 season. "Top 10 all-time scorer is an unbelievable accomplishment because it's a level of excellence that's beyond belief, and then it's being able to do it over an extended period of time with consistency. So one of the really unique accomplishments.
"And he's going to keep eating up more people. He's got a long way to go."
By this time next season, Nowitzki very well could be the No. 7 all-time scorer in league history. It won't take him long to track down No. 9 Hakeem Olajuwon (26,946), then No. 8 Elvin Hayes (27,313) and No. 7 Moses Malone (27,409). It might take into the 2015-16 season for Nowitzki to catch No. 6 Shaquille O'Neal, now 1,882 points ahead of Nowitzki.
If he ultimately moves ahead of Shaq, Nowitzki will nestle in nicely, likely for good, behind No. 5 Wilt Chamberlain (31,419).
Not bad for the one-time floppy-haired kid imported from Wurzburg, Germany.
"Like I always say, I think this stuff means more to me when my career is over," Nowitzki said. "But this is a sweet one. Top 10 is definitely unbelievable."

The Edge is a well-designed entry in the popular crossover market. It's comprised of midsize SUVs that offer functionality of a larger sport vehicle with the handling of a sedan. This is a five-seat only crossover as it lacks a third row seat. There were some complaints about early models with low quality interior materials, less than stellar braking, and a general consensus. Ford did address the issues, and the Edge is a strong competitor in a crowded midsized crossover market.
Comparably priced for the crossover market in general, the Edge may seem a bit costly given the size and seating for five, but many features are standard and it is loaded at any of the price points.
As model years pass, the styling improved, the materials upgraded, and features were added. Improvements in power and handling were achieved goals. This is Ford's smallest entry in this vehicle class, and the interior is smaller than that of its direct competitors. The rear does fold down, but not completely flat. The lack of space is made up for by several available features and respectable performance and towing capacity for an SUV of this size.
The Ford Edge was introduced in 2007 and the first generation lasted until 2010. The second generation was introduced in 2011. The interior of the Edge was the focus of noticeable improvements throughout the vehicle's production run. The SE package comes standard with air-conditioning and full power accessories. The SEL and Limited add a range of luxuries like heated seats and MyFord Touch system; MyFord replaces traditional buttons with a touch screen and touch-sensitive pads. The readout on the dash is LCD and can be configured. This system makes most functions such as navigation, audio control and climate control easier to use as they are all located in one spot. The front seats seem to be a bit too narrow and may bother some drivers and passengers.
Other interior options available for the SEL, Limited, and Sport are leather seats, power adjustable front seats, and Sync multimedia system. All these features help to make the Edge a great vehicle for buyers who appreciate comfort and tech toys.
The V-6 engines accelerate respectably well, which can be helpful in certain driving situations. The drivetrain is smooth with a responsive transmission. As with most crossovers, the ride is quite smooth and bumps aren't very noticeable. The 22-inch wheels on the Sport package make for a firmer, but not harsh, ride. Ride control is decent, and the ride quality exceeds most vehicles in this class.
The Ford Edge is considered one of the more intriguing and pleasing looking crossovers. The compact yet sporty profile will appeal to many buyers first seeing it on the lot. There are four trim packages available: SE, SEL, Limited, and Sport. The Edge starts off with the SE package that includes 17-inch alloy wheels, stability control, and anti-lock brakes. The SEL and Limited add on a backup camera. The Sport shares many traits with the Limited, but also has 22-inch wheels, unique bodywork, a sport-tuned suspension, and transmission paddle shifters. Other exterior options are xenon high-intensity discharge headlights, and a power liftgate.
The Edge has three engine options. There are two larger options: a 285-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 or a 305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6. A nice and economical addition to the power plant line-up is a 240-hp, 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharger four-cylinder. All engines run on regular gas and use a six speed automatic transmission. Some drivers will not like the transmission, which only has two choices for drive: ""D"" and ""L."" If a driver wants to pick specific gears it will be necessary to get the Sport package with the paddle shifters. All-wheel drive (AWD) is an option on all of the trim packages.
Fuel economy is respectable, especially with the four-cylinder engine. The V-6 engines get about 19/27 mpg city/highway, with the EcoBoost adding as much as 7 mpg.
Everything is well weighted making for easy and smooth steering that doesn't require excessive correction even with larger tire options. For a crossover, it does fine with cornering and feels controlled. The overall ride quality is pleasant but not quite sporty, which some crossovers manage to accomplish. There is the issue of the vehicle's width; while this adds to cabin comfort, it can make parking more difficult.
Since there are only five seats, the cabin feels spacious and affords a lot of comfort and room for driver and passenger. The sound level is neither bothersome nor especially quiet, with the expected amount of wind, road, and accelerating engine noise.
Vehicles equipped with the EcoBoost engine come with special rocker panels and features fuel-saving active grille shutters.

2010 Ford Edge
With a new model waiting in the wings, the 2010 Ford Edge is nearly unchanged save for fuel-economy bumps of 1 mpg city and highway for front-drive models and 2 mpg city/1 mpg highway for all-wheel drive models. Also new is the Limited Interior Appearance Package, which includes Sienna leather upholstery and contrasting stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and shift knob.
2009 Ford Edge
2008 Ford Edge
The 2008 Ford Edge offers many advantages that other midsize sport utility vehicles (SUVs) miss; it has a peppy, fun engine, it drives and handles like a car, and it focuses on safety features that make it truly acceptable as a family-oriented vehicle.
2007 Ford Edge
Initially developed by the Ford Motor Company to give consumers a choice of buying a vehicle that falls somewhere between a minivan and an SUV, the midsize crossover Ford Edge made its market debut in 2006 at Detroit's North American International Auto Show.

A MacRumors reader emailed Steve Jobs about recent fears that Apple's new App Store subscription policy would hurt Software as a Service (SaaS) apps, and Jobs' purported response is -- no it won't.
The question:
As a full time iOS developer, I am concerned (and confused) withe the new App Store guideline regarding "Apps offering subscriptions" (section 11.12).
Most of the iOS apps I have developed, as a contractor for other businesses, have been free apps that had login screens to allow the user access to some amount of private data. and/or service. These businesses have all been well established companies that sell some kind of service to their customers (Software As a Service companies) and the iOS app was merely another "portal" for their users to access their data/services (in many times, in a limited i.e. "mobile" fashion).... for example; SalesForce. I am concerned that most of these businesses will choose to not develop an iOS app for their customers if the IAP & subscription policy was in place.
Would these type's of free apps be still be allowed in the App Store or will they now be expected to use IAP?
The Steve Jobs response:
We created subscriptions for publishing apps, not SaaS apps.
Sent from my iPhone
Apple has been typically tight lipped about what does and does not qualify as subscription so the confusion is understandable but is a Steve Jobs email enough to clarify?

Already a breast cancer survivor before her 30th birthday, Lauren Wakefield knows she's one of the lucky ones.
"I found a lump one day and went in probably within the next two weeks after that," the 27-year-old wedding photographer said. "From the time that I went in to when I was diagnosed was only a couple of weeks, and it was already Stage 2. It was pretty fast moving."
Like many of her peers, the West Town resident thought breast cancer was something that only affected older women.
"My mom had breast cancer so I thought maybe I'd get it later on in life," she said. "I never thought I'd get it in my 20s. What a shock to say the least."
"Younger girls don't think it's going to happen to them and it's becoming more prevalent," added fellow breast cancer survivor Ashley Shaffner, a 26-year-old Lake Bluff resident who discovered a lump during a self-exam when she was 24 that turned out to be Stage 1 breast cancer. "I was really fortunate because I caught it early."
According to the American Medical Association, an increasing number of younger women haven't been as fortunate.
The Association recently released a study showing that cases of advanced breast cancer have nearly doubled among American women ages 25 to 39 over the past 40 years, from 1.5 cases per 100,000 in 1976 to 2.9 per 100,000 in 2009.
"In women under the age of 40, breast cancer is a more aggressive disease," said Dr. Dennis Citrin, a board certified medical oncologist with Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion who specializes in advanced forms of breast cancer. "For younger women, there's no question, breast cancer is a serious illness."
Citrin cautioned that, while statistically significant, the numbers aren't necessarily cause for alarm just yet.
"It's a small increase in that most women who are diagnosed with breast cancer do not have Stage 4 disease," Citrin said. "There are only about 4 percent of women who have a Stage 4 disease."
Regular mammograms aren't necessarily the best way to preventing that number from increasing.
"Mammograms are not the answer because in younger women, mammograms are much less sensitive," Citrin said. "The mammogram can be negative and fail to show the cancer in a significant number of cases. With modern mammograms, that false negative rate is lower but it's still about 10 percent even with digital mammograms. That means that you cannot rely on a mammogram to say 'No, the cancer is not present.' The test you'd actually do is an ultrasound which will distinguish between solid and fluid."
Instead, Citrin advocates knowing your family history and being in tune with your body.
"We usually recommend women should examine their breasts about halfway between their periods," he said "Women should be familiar with how their breasts feel so if there is a change whatsoever, they're going to pick up on it as early as possible and have it checked out by a physician."
That last part is key, according to survivors.
"If you're in tune with your body and you're paying attention, I think you have a lot better chance of surviving," said Kim Jewett, a 36-year-old Plainfield resident and two-time breast cancer survivor. "It's just people being empowered."
"I try and express to people as much as possible that you have to be your own advocate," Wakefield added. "If you think something's wrong and you don't like what the doctor's telling you, you have to investigate it."
All survivors we spoke with say they're planning on participating in the Susan G. Komen Mother's Day Race for the Cure on May 12th in Grant Park to help raise awareness. Shaffner said breast cancer is an issue women need to start thinking and talking about at an earlier age.
"I think it's a mentality, especially in my generation, that cancer is only going to affect elderly people," she said. "Cancer doesn't discriminate. That's my comeback to everybody lately. I've seen it affect a lot of young people very close to me."
More information on this year's Race for the Cure can be found here.

I'm doing a speech about cancer prevention through diet changes. I'd like to provide my audience with reliable evidence that eating fruits and vegetables can prevent cancer, and explain why this is so. Would you happen to know where I could get such supporting information?
The best resource at this time is the most recent report from the World Cancer Research Fund, which was just published in the Fall. It is an comprehensive evidence based analysis of the current literature on diet and cancer, including fruits and vegetables. You can find the report at http://www.aicr.org and it is entitled "Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective" 2nd Expert Report.

Members of Congress are vowing to hold Planned Parenthood accountable for its use of taxpayer funding in the wake of a new report from Americans United for Life.
Representatives Renee Ellmers (R–NC) and Randy Hultgren (R–IL) invited AUL President and CEO Charmaine Yoest to Capitol Hill yesterday for a news conference about the release of AUL's "The Case for Investigating Planned Parenthood."
Ellmers opened the discussion by thanking AUL for its groundbreaking report that "lays the foundation for further inquiry." She said that regardless of how people feel about abortion, the report confirms that federal funding for Planned Parenthood should be stopped.
"We feel very strongly that it's time to put an end to it, so that taxpayer dollars can go to more effective programs," she said.
Hultgren agreed. "The American people want accountability for how tax dollars are being spent," he said. "When we are spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars these questions have to be asked, and answers must be given."
Yoest thanked the Members for their support and agreed that it is imperative to ask these questions. America has reached its debt ceiling, she noted, yet Planned Parenthood is still handed $1 million in taxpayer funding per day. She mentioned a Government Accountability Office report that revealed that the organization spent more than $657 million in government funds between 2002 and 2008. However, Planned Parenthood's own annual reports reveal that it received over $2 billion in unspecified government grants and contracts during that time.
"The American taxpayer deserves an accounting from Planned Parenthood," she said.
Representatives Jean Schmidt (R–OH), John Fleming (R–LA), Diane Black (R–TN), Bill Huizenga (R–MI), Chris Smith (R–NJ), and Steve Chabot (R–OH) made brief statements as well.
Schmidt pointed out that Washington needs to count its pennies, and in the cutting process, organizations like Planned Parenthood should be the first to go.
"Money is fungible," she said. "And this report shows us how fungible this money is."
Huizenga thanked AUL and stressed the importance of transparency and accountability for the American people. Smith agreed, calling the AUL report a "blueprint for action" and an "engraved invitation to investigate."
The Members also took note of other abuses alleged in the report. Both Schmidt and Smith mentioned illegal activity at Planned Parenthood facilities in their own districts. Schmidt said that two young girls, who admitted to Planned Parenthood employees that they had been sexually abused, received service with no questions asked.
"In neither case did Planned Parenthood say, 'We've got a problem,'" she said.
Planned Parenthood has released a "Fact Check" in response to AUL's report. AUL has already responded, listing inaccuracies in the "Fact Check" and points the organization failed to address.
The congressional hosts agreed with AUL that there is sufficient reason to investigate the "scandal-ridden abortion provider." Ellmers said that, while there are no specific plans yet, talks about further investigation are in the works.
The Heritage Foundation's Jennifer Marshall and Katherine Bradley listed subsidies for Planned Parenthood as one of the Dirty Dozen policies that show "a serious disregard for parental rights, human dignity, freedom of conscience, and civil society in American life." Planned Parenthood's massive revenue over expenses is also worth closer scrutiny in an era of record deficits.
As America falls deeper in debt, government spending must be limited, and lawmakers are fully justified in asking whether Planned Parenthood's reckless practices should be funded by the American people.

"Motion is the lotion," is the motto you will hear licensed physical therapist Joanne Fagerstrom saying during her two very different and equally popular exercise classes at the Center on the Hill.
Fagerstrom, a youthful looking 59, teaches a combined five (both day an evening) sessions during the week there. Her more rigorous "Taking Charge of Your Bone Health" and more meditative "Awareness Through Movement: Moving Your Body and Exercising Your Mind" have been offered to the public since 2003.
At 5'5' and 127 pounds, Fagerstrom is a walking advertisement for her classes grounded in the Feldenkrais Method®, named for its founder Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. According to Fagerstrom, a longtime Erdenheim resident, Feldenkrais aims to reduce pain or limitations in movement, to improve physical function and to promote general wellbeing by increasing students' awareness of themselves and by expanding students' movement repertoire.
The testimonials in her tri-fold brochures that her husband of 30 years (this November), helped to design are quite impressive.
Retired physical therapist Anne Lowry states: "Joanne's Super Bones program is truly excellent … I appreciate the way she includes exercises that strengthen the bones that are most vulnerable to fracture. Also, Joanne's openness to questions gives a strong sense of participation to all."
Words on paper look good, but the real testimony comes after taking one of her classes, as Ellen Watson of Wyncote recently did. "It was absolutely a perfect class to be tuned into your body and what is appropriate for you," said Watson after taking her first class.
Chestnut Hill resident Barbara Bloomfield has been taking classes for three years. On a Monday morning, she and her classmates were focusing on the movement of their shoulders. "I'm typically not a very self-aware person in the way the body works, and this hour makes me focus in a way where I always feel better, more relaxed and grounded," said Bloomfield, 70.
Joan Martini, 72, who lives within walking distance of the Center on the Hill, located in the First Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill next to the hospital, has been taking Fagerstrom's classes for three years and is currently enrolled in both classes.
Fagerstrom had worked at Pennsylvania Hospital for over 10 years and decided to stay home when her first child was born with a serious congenital heart defect.
"He's 28 and fine now, but it forced me to look at how precious time is and how I wanted to spend my time," she noted.
She then worked at Chestnut Hill Rehabilitation Hospital for 16 years before it turned into a for-profit entity. "I'm ridiculously loyal and stuck around for far too long," she added, noting that she then did a four-year stint at Northwest Physical Therapy before going out on her own.
"There was this little voice in my head. I wanted to do things my way and spend time with people outside of the medical model. It was a huge leap of faith and I experienced both euphoria and anxiety without the steady paycheck, but overall it's been wonderful and I have no regrets," she said, while putting mats and hand weights away in a neat closet where her 'assistant' Sam the skeleton lives.
Jenkintown resident Irene Overton, 82, is one of the senior members of the classes. "If I didn't come, I wouldn't have the discipline to do it at home," she said. "She's very good and patient and clear in her directions. At my age it helps to keep me moving."
Fagerstrom noted that she has a lot of clients who come out of traditional aerobics or Pilates classes who have injured themselves because they haven't done the exercises correctly. "You need to feel what's happening in your body so you don't hurt yourself," she explained. "I'm interested in the quality of repetitions versus the quantity. If you body is telling you to stop, then stop. There are no judgments."
Fagerstrom's hour-long classes are ongoing, and participants can join at any time. Level I "Super Bones" classes are held Thursday morning at 10:30 and Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. A Level II class is held Mondays at 9 a.m. Her "Awareness Through Movement" classes are held on Mondays at 10:30 a.m. and Wednesdays at 6:45 p.m.

Blountsville's high-volume regional power grids are antiques just waiting to fail bigtime.
If you've been paying attention, you know this could easily be the worst winter in a long time. And I base that prediction on some very reliable indicators:
The harsh reality is: we're just one major snowstorm away from major population centers throughout Alabama with failing power grids.
All this means you want to leave no stone unturned in getting ready for this winter's storms and power outages.
Every winter, bitter cold snaps, ice storms, and blizzards leave millions of people in Alabama at risk of going days – sometimes weeks – without power or a back-up plan.
Most people aren't fully prepared to weather a winter power outage in their home for more than a few hours. Any winter outage that lasts more than a day forces evacuations to urban shelters (not safe), hotels (expensive), or unaffected family and friends' houses (inconvenient).
You should be prepared to shelter in place if there's not any imminent danger to you and your family. It's more convenient, more comfortable, and more cost effective.
Too often, people wait until a winter storm is bearing down on them to stock up on the items they'll need. If you do that, there's a high chance you'll face a chaotic scene at your local stores and an even higher chance you'll find those stores sold out of what you need.
Now is the time to prepare for winter power outages.
There's a well-known PSA that you've probably heard at least once in your lifetime. Ahead of any major storm, it'll tell you to stock up on enough food and water to last your family 7 days.
Well, unfortunately, just obeying the PSA will not be enough to ensure your family's safety.
How long could your family survive if any one of these conditions were in play? How about all of them? Given our slow-to-react infrastructure, it's a real possibility that these problems could last for weeks (even months) at a time.
With so many factors pointing toward an extreme winter storm season, you can't afford NOT to be brutally honest with your own preparedness. (Your family's safety depends on it.)
And to be clear一this means fixing any gaps you find, not just being aware of them so you can kick yourself once it's too late.
It's the same standard I hold myself to, which is how I first discovered a crucial problem with my own plans. (My decades of experience with self-reliant living means that I'm probably better prepared than most, too.)
I found that . . .
If the storm was powerful enough to wipe out gas, transportation and power supply chains, my family would have absolutely NO long-term access to power.
And after extensively looking into all the available backup generator options, I realized that this was an unsolved problem for everybody, not just me. Throughout all my testing, I kept coming to these same conclusions . . .
It never needs gas is tougher than a Texas tick...
I didn't want to be like those high-rise suit guys at the big companies. They design in a bubble. So I tested it. I put the PowerWhisperer through the wringer in every scenario I could imagine. And I went back to the engineer many times to tweak and add and take away.
All-in-all the project cost me well over $1 million.
Then, I sent it out to my community and had them do their own tests. I took the feedback and I created the PowerWhisperer M-Type.
I took every suggestion and piece of feedback and worked it into the final design, with all of these features...
The PowerWhisperer is not something to be put in your bug out kit or reserve cellar in case of the worst scenario and never to be used again. I built it to be THE MOST VERSATILE backup power source on the market.
And to make sure you get your money's worth, I'll send you (FREE) with your purchase my guide on 17 Different Uses for The PowerWhisperer.
For everything from bug out to tailgating, you'll find yourself using the PowerWhisperer at least once a month in safe, ideal conditions and daily in inclement weather or survival scenarios. The PowerWhisperer will pay for itself several times over.
When you place your order for the PowerWhisperer M-Type now, you'll receive...
If you order today, I'll also offer FREE SHIPPING.
I've already told you my goal is to put a PowerWhisperer M-Type in all 200 million homes at risk for disasters this year. So for the snow season, I've ramped up production of the PowerWhisperer.
The retail value of this complete system is $3,997 but during the snowstorm season, I am offering a Preparedness Discount of 30% Off the Complete Disaster Survival System.
There's a limited number of units set aside for the season and when they're gone, I'll go back to offering the system for full retail.
If you prefer to order by phone, call my 24-hour toll-free line at 1-877-371-1807
Immediately when your PowerWhisperer arrives, you can begin using it with no setup required. Weekend camping trip ready. Or try it out that night at the tailgate party. Everything you need is in the box. Additionally, you'll have the straightforward instruction guide and 17 Uses For the PowerWhisperer Guide for motivation.
I need you to put the PowerWhisperer under serious scrutiny. I've already told you my goal is to help as many people as possible stay protected this winter season. If you feel the PowerWhisperer won't help you, I NEED to know. I want to see it tested in every environment possible.
With that said, everyone has different power and survival needs. Test it out in your home, with your family. Do this for the entire snow season and laugh in the face of every outage.
If within 6-months you find a better solution, I'll be happy to refund your money minus a small restocking fee so I can inspect your unit and send it along. No doubt someone else will be waiting for your PowerWhisperer so they can be prepared.
You've already read about how much research I've done into backup power options. And if you're anything like me, here's what you'll do next:
It's too easy to bookmark this page and come back to it later. I get it. We're planners. I don't want you to have to explain to your family that you were "thinking about" investing in backup power that one time. That you were going to "budget for it."
When it comes to disaster preparation there's one thing I've learned -- there's a huge difference between "planning" for a disaster and "preparing." Everyone has a "plan" but when disaster strikes, it's only those that are prepared that will survive it.
With the uncertainty of the weather forecasts, you simple don't have time to wait.
-Lee Bellinger
