Do you have Hurricane (Disaster) tips to share?
Hurricane Irene is bearing down on those of us on the east coast. While the news outlets love to play the disaster card, this one may actually play out as predicted, unfortunately. I traveled the RT 1 - 95 corridor today and it was filled with commuters evacuating (mandatory) the Outer Banks (NC), Ocean City, MD, etc. Are there tips you have for people who are in the path of this storm?
Water related: Fill whatever bath tubs you have full of water. This can help with flushing toilets or drinking water if really necessary. Also filling ziplock bags with as much ice as possible and freezing for possible drinking water needs.
Flashlights and candles.
I live in earthquake country. These are some of my thoughts:
Make sure you have a few gallons of water and spare batteries on hand. (Oh, bathtub full is a Great Idea! Will have to remember that one, thanks.) Some cash, too, since they say ATMs don't work in a power outage. Hope you still have a land line, btw.
If you must go out, let people know where you're going and check in. Have ID on your person somewhere. Keep a blanket, a first aid kit, and some nonperishable provisions in your car. Water, flashlight & batteries here, too. No joking -- garbage bags and toilet paper may come in handy. A change of socks and boots that will keep your feet dry/warm. A coat and extra pair of sneakers, if nothing else.
Don't drive through standing water -- you never know just how deep or swift the water is. Not to mention sinkholes and bridge failures, as possibilities.
Hope you stay safe!
@mfladd: Just a tip, bleach your tub really well first so you have the option to use it for drinking water in a pinch. There will likely be plenty of water for flushing available in your basement should the need arise!!!
Please gas up your vehicles NOW. If you have a home generator, be sure it is in an area that is properly ventilated.
An outdoor grill comes in handy when the power goes out, especially if your home appliances are all electric. Make sure you have extra charcoal or propane on hand.
An inexpensive pot and cast iron frying pan are great on the grill. (You can heat water on the grill for a French press coffee maker)
If the power goes off for more than a day & your water heater is electric, try this for a quick hot "shower": put a spray nozzle on the end of your garden hose. Charge the hose and make sure the hose is in a sunny area for a few hours. The sun will heat the water hot enough for you to wet & soap yourself up & quickly rinse. Do your neighbors a favor & wear a bathing suit.
Try to keep the fridge/freezer closed. Know ahead of time what you want to take out/put in and then do it quickly.
Freeze 1 & 2 liter bottles. A full freezer will keep for over 24 hours if the power is out.
(MORE) Decide now on someone who lives out of the storm's path as your point of contact. Don't be surprised if you lose cell phone service, so find a landline you can use.
Take out cash NOW. Enough for at least a week.
If you are evacuating, be aware that even if you've made hotel reservations, don't be surprised to find your room has been given away. It happened with Ivan.
PLEASE report any price gouging on supplies, hotels, gas. It's against the law.
Get lawn & leaf bags, a broom & dust pan, paper towels, wet wipes, paper plates. Battery operated fans are one of the best things ever. Ice packs to the back of your neck, armpits, crotch will keep you cool at night.
Make arrangements for your pets too. Some shelters do not allow pets.
Some day I'll have to tell the tale of my 90+ year old Gran spending the night at a shelter during Ivan next to a stripper. Gran was a hoot!
(Even more) Police your yard/apartment patio/balcony. Secure EVERYTHING. You would not believe how little wind it takes to hurl a potted plant thru a window or across the yard. A cast iron bench CAN get airborne. Anything adrift in your yard can become a missile. A dangerous one.
Back wash the pool a bit. RAIN is coming and lots of it. Seriously, if storage space is a problem, toss your pool furniture into the pool. It will sink & not blow around.
Try to not park your vehicle under a tree or power pole.
Gather all your insurance documents, important papers, etc., NOW. Secure in a ziploc style bag and put in safe place to grab if you must leave. Make sure you've paid your insurance bill! Pay it online today if you haven't.
Charge your cell phone! Power out? Car charger.
Secure your valuables and remember, sometimes when services go to hell, people get out of hand and loot/steal. Be prepared.
Taping windows is over rated and messy to remove.
(and even more) Battery operated radio is nice as is a tv.
Fire extinguisher. Have one? Where is it?
Maybe cook a few re-heatable meals today and store.
Find a good book or two.
Check on your neighbors when you can, especially the older folks.
Pre-flight your chain saw and for God's sake, be careful.
Don't go outside when the eye passes over or if you do, don't stray too far from shelter. Those winds and rain will return in a heartbeat and you don't want to be caught in it.
You really don't need to report your power outage. Believe me. They'll know. Although it is important to report downed lines. Keep pets and the stupid away from them.
Brush up on your CPR. Get your MEDS NOW if you need them. Can't believe I forgot that. Band-aids for you klutzes.
Put a big "X" over your windows with tape... It tells the Hurricane to GO AWAY!!
here's what surprised us most:
it was not the hurricane that was the hardest - we actually slept through that -- it was the THREE WEEKS without electricity!!!!
so... on day three - after you've cleaned up the house, yard, pulled up wet carpet, etc. - GET OUT OF THE HOUSE
go buy a local paper
drive or walk around the neighborhood every day
buy ice
go to the phone store to charge your cell
besides these activities being necessary, you will find yourself falling into a new schedule (turns out that's important for your sanity), hear the sound of someone else's voice (since the tv doesn't work), and lowers your stress level (by letting you get some reliable reporting on what to expect tomorrow from the electric co., your boss, the post office, and, and, and. the people you talk to will be really nice (until they get electricity) and you will know that the world kept turning and things ARE being done
oh, btw ... go to the used bookstore TODAY and buy a big pile of stuff
@cookininsweats: My sister would call me on her land line (and even THAT was all funky--we could hear other conversations going on like a party line). She'd get all excited because she was hearing the Gulf Power trucks nearby. This went on for weeks as she was one of the last neighborhoods to have power restored.
Also, folks, MRE's are extremely fattening. Little sister couldn't understand how she was busting her tail for days straight cutting up trees, stacking wood, etc., and was gaining weight.
"What are you eating?"
"Oh, not really much of anything...just some coffee in the morning and then MRE's for lunch and dinner. Those mini Tabasco bottles are sooo cute!"
"You do know those are about 3,000 calories each, don't you?"
@lavikinga: thanks for reminding me ... eat the food in your fridge first ... it's gonna go bad and smell (and the insurance company will only give you abt $250 to get along on) ... when it does, throw it out ... out, not in the trashcan
keep your garbage far away from the house amd in closed plastic bags. it won't be picked up for a long while.
there will be lots of bugs ... from the garbage and from the standing water ... get repellant for yourself AND for your pets
@lavikinga: All good info. The main thing are the three basics...water, food, and shelter. Only variation is I use 5 gallon buckets for all my storage. You can get them from Home Depot for like $5..comes with a water tight lid. If you field strip your MRE's you can fit 20 or so in there. 5 gallon buckets are great..once you empty them they can be used for further water storage or as a 'honey bucket' (something a LOT of people forget about).
The only thing no one has mentioned is self defense..but sounds like you're down south..shouldn't have to tell ya to grab a shotgun or handgun.
Good luck and God Bless
btw ... it's not the rain that causes water/flooding problems ... it's the backup of water (tides, wind, etc) ... that's what they mean by 'storm surge' ... and it won't happen until up to 24 hrs after the storm is gone ... so, keep in mind, it's not over when the sun reappears
@undrpsi: there is some good stuff ... you don't have to hear that the market just dropped 2 pts cuz the dems or repubs ... you're in the foxhole folks
@lavikinga: ?? MRE's are about 1200-1800 cals..only the (no longer made) cold weather MRE's were 2600-3200 cals..here's the skinny from MREinfo.com
What's in an MRE?
Entree - the main course, such as Spaghetti or Beef Stew
Side dish - rice, corn, fruit, or mashed potatoes, etc.
Cracker or Bread
Spread - peanut butter, jelly, or cheese spread
Dessert - cookies or pound cakes
Candy - M&Ms, Skittles, or Tootsie Rolls
Beverages - Gatorade-like drink mixes, cocoa, dairy shakes, coffee, tea
Hot sauce or seasoning - in some MREs
Flameless Ration Heater - to heat up the entree
Accessories - spoon, matches, creamer, sugar, salt, chewing gum, toilet paper, etc.
Each MRE provides an average of 1,250 calories (13% protein, 36% fat, and 51% carbohydrates) and 1/3 of the Military Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamins and minerals. A full day's worth of meals would consist of three MREs.
@cookininsweats: Foxhole? Nah...you always want the high ground. I have no idea what the rest of your comment means...
@undrpsi: i'd bet that someone named 'laVIKINGa' has cold weather everything
@undrpsi: I can't remember which ones were her favorites but they were the super high cal versions and were pushing hard on the 3,000 mark. She has an expired one in her pantry as a reminder. I'll have to get her to tell me what is in it.
@cookininsweats: Yeah, and believe me, I don't get much wear out of the furs while living in the south!
I was going to include weapons but jeez, some folks in the north are awfully touchy when it comes to talking about having superior firepower.
edit: Might want to check your insurance policy. It's my understanding, from USAA at least, water that backs up from the sewer is considered flood and not covered under a normal home owner's policy. Basically, if the water doesn't come directly from above (like a burst pipe) but comes up from the ground or along the ground, it's covered only if you have flood insurance. YMMV.
@undrpsi: it was meant as a smarta-- remark abt something you maybe can look enjoy in times like these, i.e., not having to hear continuous hyping of everything that occurs every day all day ... it's turns out that stuff really doesn't mean much all day everyday ... sorry, didn't mean to offend (that's why i mentioned dems and repubs)
@lavikinga: i know the problem ... cold storage from march-october ... it's tough being laBROWNSa in houston
NO one seems to have mentioned making sure you have a Full Tank of Gas or Diesel in your vehicle(s)... If all else fails you can charge phones and other such stuff in the car.. Also no electricity means no gas at the gas station...
12 volt / 120 volt inverters are a great investment for these times...
Do not go out when the eye passes over. It can get very calm and still, and you will be tempted to go outside and assess damage. Unless you have very up to date knowledge, of the size and speed of the eye, and your exact position in it, (we had an eye last 4 hours, but that is rare) you can be caught out when the winds return. They may do so suddenly. Many hurricane deaths and injuries are reported during this time.
After the storm please be cautious of downed power lines. These may be obscured by debris or by standing water. As the power company works to restore power to an area, a line that was dead may become live, so be careful, as much as you want some electricity, it is best not to apply it directly to people.
If your power is out, turn off most of your breakers. We leave one on with a light, to notify us when power is restored.
Figure out your safe room now. it is probably an interior closet. Clear out the floor area.
@lavikinga: and flood ins has 2b in effect for 30 prior to the event
oooo ... just saw a great idea ... MANUAL CAN OPENER ... and @undrpsi's idea abt sealed 5 gallon buckets may be great for those unmetionable necessary functions ... not kidding
@hobbitss: First thing on my above list of things to do, although I didn't mention the siphoning. Just assumed folks would think of doing it.
@lavikinga: Don't depend on siphoning. Many newer model cars cannot be siphoned. I've watched people try, when they were planning on donating cars. There may be some sort of mechanical system you can use, but just a siphon hose and lung power will get you nothing but grief (and fumes in your lungs).
This pretty much says it all.
Living in South Florida, we keep it all handy starting in June.
Our house is wired with a generator, which came in handy after Wilma in 2005.
Worst case scenario, have a relative within driving distance (one tank) who isn't in the storm's path.
@cookininsweats: Politicizing a survival situation, especially in such an unpleasant way, gets a down vote from me every time.
@shrdlu: Most new vehicles have a siphon block in the line so you wont even be able to use an electric or mechanical pump to siphon fuel...
I like how someone down voted my suggestion to fill up the gas tank before a storm... I have a fan... ;-)
Stock up on water, food, smokes, batteries, and beer. Canned goods and dry food are your best bets.
Get in as much stuff involving electricity as possible. T.V., Xbox, internet. Be sure to charge phones, computers, and camera. Who know when you will get power back.
I stayed for Rita & Ike. Trust me. We didn't have power for just under 2 weeks after Ike.
Absolutely correct about the phones. A friend of mine who survived Katrina and Rita both said even though all the cell phones lost service, the land lines were still working.
@webfoot08: here's a survival suggestion ... if you can't keep your sense of humor, make sure you stock rusty razor blades ...
honestly??!! ... read it again ... and the followup, too
the point of a forum like this is to give people assurance that they will live thru this ... and the first thing to figure out is what to take seriously
@cookininsweats: First it was raping children, now it's rusty razor blades. Nice...
I don't recall seeing charcoal (and lighter fluid). This is perfect for using up all those groceries in your fridge. Invite the neighbors to bring over their food. Make the best of it.
The worst part of having no power is trying to go to sleep in a 90+ degree house with 99% humidity.
@embhorn: and Propane for the grill and gas lanterns...
@embhorn: Yep, I hit those too in my long winded posts. And propane. And cash.
I wish I could reach thru the internet and slap that stupid spammer. I know English is probably a second language, but of all the threads to spam...
This looks like a useful article from MSNBC.com
@lavikinga: Somehow I missed your first very informative post and read the others so I repeated some of your suggestions... Sounds like you've done this before...
Leave your kitesurfing gear at home!
here's a tracker, to keep tabs on that m.f. who wants to cause damage. looks like it's predicted to go directly over OBX, NC
i like all the tips, good stuff!
@hobbitss: oh yeah. Been there, done that, have the t shirt, as they say. I will say the folks living in the hurricane zones get off a bit easier. At least they get a decent heads up a 'cane is coming. It's those folks living in Tornado Alley who really have my respect. They are lucky if they get a half hour's notice the conditions are ripe for destruction. My brother, who recently moved back to Florida from being stationed in Oklahoma, says he'd rather take an occasional hurricane over frequent tornadoes (and blizzards).
Forgot to mention GAS. Get it now while you can and stock up.
I just wanted to thank everybody for their suggestions. In fact it was from this thread I remembered to get my propane tanks filled. Also, a BIG thank you to @lavikinga who has done an amazing job as our Disaster Preparedness Hostess today.
Seriously, my best to everyone and their families who are in the path of this storm. Stay safe!!!!!
@mfladd: LOL, I want all my disasters to be "hosted" by @lavikinga:
@pickypickypicky: I agree. She is the hostess with the mostess!
@lavikinga: I have renters insurance from USAA and they have covered me for natural flood damage to personal property before without having the extra flood insurance. It may depend on your area and if it is homeowners or renters.
@segafanalways: Possibly. We went ahead and got it since we live very close to a flood plain AND the drainage creek that runs behind our home had a nasty habit of overflowing further down it's path.
I'm surprised to hear they covered you because how adamant the rep was on the phone. I was even more surprised the learn that sewer back ups were only covered with flood insurance. I'll bet it very well may be a difference in our locales.
@ALL: Thanks for the props. It comes from years of coastal living and growing up with very smart parents. Most of the advice can be applied to any drastic weather situation, modified for temperature/time of year.
Some one needs to start a "checking in" thread so we know every one made it through ok. Looks like it the hurricane was beginning to throttle back when I last checked. Good luck and keep your powder dry!
Pop-tarts. Waterproof, needs no heat, tastes great!
@lavikinga: By your command, madam, I've created the Check In question. I'm just going to spend the night worrying, now.

Actual stealing *UPDATED*
Look familiar?
I don't care whether your app is free. Don't use someone's art without permission.
*UPDATE*: I got a kind e-mail from the developer saying they will take care of the problem and they have already taken the app down. I'm going to leave this post up because I was unclear in the past about how I feel about plagiarism, and I really want to stop this sort of thing from happening for artists everywhere.
Thanks to everyone for the support!

Disgusting man.. It's pretty unbelievable how they much of it they just straight used. I will be sending them a mail myself.
- Saturn2888 said...
I have to agree with you about this being stealing, but I feel it's rude and immature to preemptively have people send angry e-mails for you. Maybe if it's been a week or two and no response, but not yet.
You don't even know if they paid someone for the logo and that person stole the artwork or if the person doing the logo got it from someone else who got it from someone else that modified it. - 2:57 PM
- Sam Nielson said...
Saturn2888: You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't see anything immature or rude about turning up the heat a little on a company's PR guy so they take this seriously. This isn't personal for them, but it is for me, and I want them to realize that. I will however take down the e-mail address when I get a response from them, since there's no need to antagonize them after they've righted their mistake/bad choice.
- Saturn2888 said...
I respect that and will e-mail them now. I get what you mean.
- K said...
Wait Sam - Your original piece was the one with the guy under the tree, right? And somebody took the guy off it and stuck that logo on it? Have I got it right?
- Nasan Hardcastle said...
That's probably the worst example of blatant rip-off I've ever seen.
On one hand, I'm jealous you're artwork is so well know and awesome that people would want to steal it, but on the other hand, I can't believe how ignorant people can be, irregardless of where they live in the world. - 3:48 PM
- Nasan Hardcastle said...
ps. Did they take down the app already? I wanted to link to it in an email.
- Andrew Olson said...
You should try contacting the App store and Apple as well
- Calvin Boice said...
The character artwork is also stolen. I wouldn't be surprised if the sprites and everything else were stolen as well.
- Sam Nielson said...
K: Yes, that is correct.
Nasan: I just went to the page, looks to me like it is still up.
Andrew: I will do that if they don't respond to my first requests, thank you.
Calvin: Where is the character art stolen from? - 4:38 PM
- Calvin Boice said...
A little community game in progress called Broquest.
http://broquestgame.com/wiki/index.php?title=Characters - 4:50 PM
- Nasan Hardcastle said...
Okay, I found the link. I kept trying to find it from the link at the bottom of your post. ;)
Calvin: Good grief! These guys have no soul! :)
I'm putting both links in my email to them. - 5:07 PM
- Kacey said...
Wow. Looks like it is up there even still. They are probably scrambling to "create" a new BG(and I guess now also characters?!?) to replace it.
It is nice however, to see that artists' and followers of art have one another's backs, and are quick to alert each other of such thefts. I've seen many rip-offs lately in caricature and character design and once discovered, word gets around pretty fast. It makes me wonder though, how many other works are stolen each day unknown to anyone. . .I mean, just look at how deliberate and public this theft was of work from an artist like yourself. . .not even like yourself... from YOU! Just crazy. - 5:29 PM
- K said...
I just got an email from the company apologizing and saying that they are going to apologize to you. Their designer was responsible, and she says it makes no sense, because his own work is very good. So you should be hearing from her soon.

The Apple website for the app is still there, but I couldn't download the app from my iPad. It doesn't show up in a search, and if you go to that link directly from an iPad it seems to be unavailable.
- Erin / Miri-love said...
So sad to see such a lack of artistic integrity. Unfortunately, this is one of many cases I've heard about this week :(
So sorry this happened! - 7:41 PM
- Sam Nielson said...
Thanks everyone for the help, it is good to see that artists have each other's back for this sort of thing. If any of you ever have a similar problem be sure to let me know and I'll pull what small influence I do have to help out!
- Joshua Otero said...
I am actually dealing with this as well. People just find your images on google without wondering how to contact the artist and ask permission. Luckily a simple reverse google search finds that image and find where it's being used all over the web. I highly suggest it for artists whom want to protect themselves.
- Annick Huber said...
I think it's good to share and put a spotlight when this kind of things happen. They're not just individuals putting stuff up without credit, these are companies publishing work. Having a relatively bad experience with many people complaining could deter them from doing this again in a way that a single e-mail from an artist would not.
- PIBBY said...
What a bunch of jerks, stealing your image like that! I'm glad they took it down. I really like that picture of fall. More importantly it's far better without any logos in front of it at all.
- Sam Nielson said...
Joshua: Yeah, if you're using Google Chrome you can actually just drag the image into the google search bar and it will look up the image and anything like it. So companies have no excuse when it comes to that new "reasonable search for the artist" rule in copyright law.
Pibby: The contact at the company said their artist did the copying without their knowledge. So if that's true it's just one jerk (or at least a very unwise person), and they disciplined the offender so hopefully it won't happen again. - 10:26 AM
- Alina Chau said...
- Patrik Spacek said...
Well...its embarrassing for them :) but this is happening quiet often. They definitely should inform you about that, they probably though this is secure If this game is freeware. Other possible version is, that their "artist" told them he created it and other team members didn't have any clue about that, till now. He should at least used somebody's painting who isn't that famous as you Sam :o))
- Adrian Lubbers said...
Good for you Sam!! Score one for us little guys!I'm always amazed that companies with sooooo much cash flow feel the need to steal from "starving" artists. God bless capitalism. NOT!!!
- Sam Nielson said...
Adrian: I appreciate that you're trying to defend the rights of artists, but you obviously don't understand capitalism if you're using this as an example of capitalism's failures. Capitalism isn't a system, it's a philosophy on how economics works. Someone stealing an artist's work is something that can happen in any economic system, because people are sometimes just dishonest or lazy. How often it happens has more to do with copyright law and enforcement than the method by which artists support themselves. Besides, small companies like this usually don't have "sooooo much cashflow," in fact the reason why this type of thing ever happens is because it is costly to run a business and time consuming to create a product (also something that doesn't go away if you change the economic system, you just change the source of the pressures to perform).
If this were a case of a company publicly promoting art theft, and the government and consumers both were supporting them; you might have a case for complaint against the system. Instead, this is another case where individuals steal or cheat to save themselves work; and as long as the world has lazy people in it and work to be done, that is going to be a problem we have to deal with. - 9:45 AM
- Sam Nielson said...
Which is why artists have to be ever vigilant to protect each other like you guys did in this case. It's a bit like a village surrounded by bandits. We can hope the bandits leave us alone; but if they ever come our way we need a militia at the ready.
- Steve Hardman said...
So wait...you're saying I shouldn't steal your stuff? Crap! I steal your stuff all the time. I mean, we're related, and I only use it to impress my kids and tell them, "Look, I draw like Uncle Sam." What if I put a tiny little 'drawn by Sam' in the corner?
BTW - nice explanation of the differences between economic philosophy and individual shortcomings. - 2:45 PM
- Gabriella Bee said...
Hi Sam...I'm from Brazil. I did tell you about this stolen a few days ago. I didn't sign the comment because I was not sure about if it was a real stolen.
This guys contact me a weeks ago and tried to contract me as a freelancer to do some arts for a new game of their 'company'. And they showed me this other game as a reference of what kind of art they want. I immediately recognized your art cause I'm always visit your page on Deviantart. I questioned them about the image and they said they bought the picture on the Internet. I thought they were lying and so I did the comment here. I suspected that the rest of arts was stolen too. So... I was right.
I'm a game artist and I also have a indie game company on Brazil... and I fell ashamed for this guys that do not respect the artists.
Count me in for the 'heads up' e sorry about my bad english. =) - 3:28 PM
- Sam Nielson said...
Steve: Good thing I studied my flash cards.
Gabrielle: I'm still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt---how would you react when a client/contractor accuses you of stealing if you didn't know your artist was doing it? Still, that is a bit fishy and dishonest so it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on the company's future projects. - 7:36 AM
- Danny Araya said...
Wow I can only imagine the feeling of seeing that. Good to hear it's being taken care of
- Beck McCoy said...
Hey Sam, glad you got this all cleared up. It's very frustrating to know that these people get jobs by lying and piggybacking off of artists with integrity.

I find this interesting. The article puts emphasis on nurses NOT retiring, but the BIGGER TRUTH is that Due To the great ECONOMIC CRUNCH, while hospitals may post positions, they have FROZEN HIRING OF NURSES, PERIOD. They aren't hiring even many strongly experienced nurses.
So now new grads can to continue to blame the nurses that aren't retiring, but the truth is, these hospitals have been told from the top to severely restrict hiring of nurses. They will post jobs to the outside b/c they have to; but those internal RNs will get the jobs that they advertise for. There may be a few smoozers that get through the wall of HIRING FREEZES, but mostly ADMINISTRATIONS are told to squeeze tight nursing positions, even if they can use them for positions.
I can prove this with the postings for hiring up and pulled down after meetings, inside administrators that have shared as much, and HR directors that are willing to be straight forward and address the REAL issue.
I find that the USA Today article is NOT being balanced in addressing the REAL ISSUE re: Tight Job Market for Nurses.
Sure, those that hold on longer d/t to 401K losses and economic fears are there, but the BIGGER and more realistic issue is that hospitals are being told to SEVERELY RESTRICT HIRING OF NURSES. Experienced nurses that seek to return to the hospital are NOT being hired either. So GNs, don't be misled here. It's a MUCH BIGGER economic issue than people not wanting to retire. Much, MUCH BIGGER.
USA TODAY, pease get to the bare bones of reality rather than touching on one factor while skirting around the bigger issue.

Mount Gilbert Summit Log (#14393)
- Signed By: Mark
- Date Submitted: July 09, 2003
- Date(s) climbed: 11/1/02
We did the ice chute car-to-car but it took a very long time [I wasn't acclimated and moved slowly higher up]. We summited after sunset then wandered around to the east trying to find the proper descent. We ended up lowering off a 220' cliff with a 200' rope. I got back to my parked car in Bishop at 3 am where I shivered [15 degs. F] until dawn.

Frankford Transportation Center could become community hub with help from Planning Commission 0
In 1961, Jane Jacobs wrote The Death and Life of Great American Cities, in which she proposed supporting neighborhoods' use of community-based initiatives.
Fast-forward 50 years, and urban planners are taking her observations into serious consideration, as evidenced by the city's comprehensive plan, Philadelphia2035, to play up individual neighborhoods' strengths and improve upon their obstacles to connectivity and access.
Within the next few years, the planning commission will complete 18 district plans, which will incorporate many of the themes and objectives found in the overall citywide plan.
Currently, only three of the 18 plans have been adopted. The most recent being the Lower Northeast District Plan, which includes Frankford, Northwood, Summerdale, Lawncrest and Oxford Circle.
Saturday, Lower Northeast District Plan Project Manager Ian Litwin, other consultants and city employees held a community visioning workshop at Aria Health-Frankford to discuss ways to make Frankford, a major transit hub, more accessible. continue reading »

The Fourth Way to Consciousness
G.I. Gurdjieff
Publisher's Description:
Are we able to say that life is governed by a group of conscious people? Where are they? Who are they? We see exactly the opposite: that life is governed by those who are the least conscious, by those who are most asleep.
Provocative ideas such as these have attracted generations of thoughtful people to the methods of self-study and inner work devised by Gurdjieff, one of the most radical spiritual teachers of modern times. According to Gurdjieff, the wars raging at this very moment are nothing more than millions of sleeping people trying to annihilate millions of other sleeping people. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such as thing as progress and evolution as long as humanity remains asleep.
Two hundred conscious people could change the whole of life on the earth, Gurdjieff says. If we want to become those conscious people, we must learn how to change ourselves. With the help of self-knowledge and an understanding of our relation to the universe, we can awaken to a higher level of being—if we wish to change ourselves.

Lost Souls, Earthbound spirits, and those who don't know they are dead.
--Anita Burns
Although we would like to think that after death everything is beautiful and that we go to a place of love and light, this is not always the case for everyone. In my lifetime and in my too-many-years-to-count of experience with the "dearly" departed, there are a lot of souls who don't find the light and many who don't even know they are dead.
Too often these souls are afraid and confused, not knowing what to do or where to go to find their peace, so they hang around the "living" trying to be heard, crying out for help.
The good news is that helping them is a simple thing to do. Gathering together in a group for the purposes of hearing their stories and helping them find the light literally saves souls.
Soul rescue is a work that really makes my heart sing. Although I had facilitated rescue circles for many years, it was never more personal than when my stepfather died. He had been ill for some time but always pulled through a crises. This time, when mother said he was in the hospital for colon problems, I had no inkling that he would never go home.
I think it was morning, although my memory might be wrong in this. I walked from my bedroom to the living room and there he was, my stepfather, Jean (French for John), sitting in the blue recliner rocker that used to be his until mother bought him a new one. He looked confused and dazed. "What am I doing here? How did I get here?" he asked as his eyes darted around.
I was startled to see him there but recognized immediately that he had died and didn't know it. "You have passed away from your body." I said as calmly as I could. "Do you remember being in the hospital?"
He thought a moment, then said, "Yes."
I looked over his shoulder and a cloud of mist was beginning to form. His mother's face appeared and she called to him. He didn't seem to hear her.
"You have died." I said. "Your mother is calling you to guide you to your new home."
Molly Dillon--
Author of Margo--
Publisher's Description:
This book offers 365 days of inspired thoughts gained while sitting on my front porch or in my humble sanctuary?and, even sometimes, from under the umbrella of my favorite sidewalk cafe. At age 76, I have been privileged to lead many lives and taken numerous spiritual paths. I am not one to put a name to my beliefs; I simply sit and open up to the Universe, waiting in silence to gain insights and ideas. Like the Dalai Lama, I merely want to come from love. Is there another place from which any of us can truly emerge? I think not.
For you, my readers, I want this book to be a daily sample of spiritual nectar. I ask that you sip from this bound bird feeder like the red-throated hummingbirds do from the glass feeder on my front porch.
When referring to God, I often call Him/Her by different names. I love thinking of God as the Beloved, but at other times I might picture Him as the Divine, or maybe, Her, as Infinite Love. I also refer to God in both the masculine and feminine gender. I remember, as a child, we had a minister in our church who always ended the service with this benediction, "May the Mother love of the Father God go with you." Isn't that beautiful? Where my naming of God does not resonate with you, please substitute your own name for Him/Her?one that better suits your own spiritual path.
The Astrology of December 21, 2012
Anita Burns
According to a lot of people, December, 2012 will bring either great disaster, or great awakening. What's the astrology about all of this?
Astrology is about cycles. All of the 2012 configurations, began with the harmonic convergence in the 1980s and was stepped up in 2011 when a series of hard aspects between Uranus and Pluto began. There were Grand Crosses with planets in Cardinal signs (These are Aries, Cancer, Libra, Virgo).
Uranus - the planet of independence and unexpected change had a hand in the "Arab Spring." Then there was the "Occupy movement" spurred on by the interactions of Uranus with Pluto. Pluto has a hand in shifting old energy that needs changing. He is not subtle. He is an atom bomb.
What's different with this cycle of Pluto and Uranus?
In 2012, the galactic equator stands at 0 degrees Capricorn. This is where the Sun will be at the Winter solstice - Dec. 21.
At 11:12 GMT on December 21, the Sun will contact what is called the "Dark Rift" located near the center of the galaxy. This is referred to by the Mayans as the "Cosmic Womb," a place of great transformation, death, birth, and awakening from darkness.
With this alignment, plus Pluto in Capricorn, old structures that have been stable for a long time in society are crumbling and need to be renovated.
The players for this time of year are Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, plus minor support figures of Mars, Mercury, and Venus.

Where people learn spiritual practices to support them in working with the complex possibilities of today's world
Patron Angel of Law Makers and Lawyers
Archangel Raziel is known for taking back your power, spiritual understanding and clairvoyance.
My client asked me for guidance regarding DUI charges that would affect her upcoming future driving/job record, limited changes in lifestyle, as well as her self -esteem. I asked Archangel Raziel for spiritual insight on how to address this problem.
Archangel Raziel's reaction was regarding how she would take her self out of the victim hood mode. It was a blessing that she was safe and not harmed. It could have been worse. No one was injured or harmed in a traffic accident. It was a wake up call to address what path she was traveling on. She needed to be thanking the police officers that pulled her over, who saved her life. The public defender assigned to represent her, felt that the evidence was unclear, and asked for a continuation. The prosecutor that was assigned to do his job acknowledged the findings of the court. The judge ruled on a further date.
Sexuality is a complex subject. It is probably written about more than any other subject. When it comes to sexuality in astrology, much can be said that goes far beyond your sun sign at birth. I'm often asked questions like "I'm an Aries. Am I compatible with Virgos? This is something like saying, "I'm an American. Am I compatible with Italians?" Astrology can determine, in finite detail, your sexual nature; what kinds of mates are better for you than others; what types you will be attracted to or draw to you; what you expect from a mate; whether you are likely to have one committed relationship or many, and what they'll be like.
Determining all this however, takes more than just looking at your "Sign." A complete horoscope needs to be charted. The astrologer will then look at your Sun and Moon signs, the asteroid Juno, your fifth, seventh, eighth, and twelfth houses, what planets are there and what signs are on those houses and the planets that "rule" them. Pretty complex stuff, but worth the effort. You'll know more about yourself, or another, than years of traditional analysis could ever reveal. I won't go into technical detail here, but there are some important things you can found out from your Sun sign.
The day you are born, the Sun is said to be "in" a certain sign. This is what you know as your "sign." Although your Sun sign is but a fraction of your love personality, it is a significant one.
The Sun represents your basic inner self, your overall inner direction. Keeping in mind that other things in your chart will adjust and alter the influences of the Sun, these energies will be with you and you will express them in many, if not all, ways.
ARIES: With your fire, you'll be a driving force in any relationship. Your powerful libido energy can stir newly awakened feelings in your partner(s). Choose partners who aren't likely to be singed by your heat.
I received, for review, two of the Wellness Pendants that he said have been doing some amazing things for people. I am usually skeptical of things like this, but after reviewing another company's energy jewelry with milk, positive results, I thought that these merited a closer look.
They are well made, of sturdy metal. I couldn't fine anywhere in there packaging, flyer, or on the website, what the metal is. I assume it is a nickel/silver alloy. It looks like it anyway. Since I am allergic to nickel, I was hesitant to wear them, but I did anyway.
Oddly enough, I did not get my usual rash. I wore the first one, for a few days and still no rash. I switched to the second one that has a slightly different design on it and the "energy buttons" on the back are also different. Also no rash. I wore it for a few days too.
Looking on the box, there is no information that tells me how the two pendants are different or for different uses, so I assume they do the same things.

Woman with infant drives on Phoenix airport runway
PHOENIX (AP) — A woman driving with her infant son in her car crashed through a gate at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and drove on the runway in the latest in a series of similar mishaps across the country that have raised questions whether the nation's airports are truly secure.
The woman rammed the partially open airport gate around 10 p.m. Thursday and started crossing the runway, police spokesman Sgt. Trent Crump said. Officers forced the car to stop after a few minutes and detained the driver.
KoKo Nicole Anderson, 21, from nearby Mesa, was booked into jail on aggravated DUI and criminal damage charges. Police suspect she had taken an unknown drug and don't believe she was impaired from alcohol. A drug-recognition expert was called to the scene shortly after her arrest.
The child — a 2-month-old boy — was in a car seat. He wasn't hurt and has been turned over to relatives. Crump said Anderson was so impaired she didn't even know her son was in the car.
"We don't believe her intent was to harm here," Crump said. "We believe it's impairment and poor decision making."
Such incidents are troublesome because a vehicle that crashed into a jetliner landing or taking off could cause a catastrophe, whether it was an intoxicated driver behind the wheel or a terrorist, said Jeff Price, an aviation professor at the Metropolitan State University of Denver and former assistant security director at Denver International Airport.
Airports in general need to think about adding barriers that automatically pop up if an unauthorized vehicle enters a gate as part of an overall upgrade of perimeter security that also includes better detection systems, he said. He noted that Sky Harbor meets federal security standards.
The incident was the latest involving vehicles crashing through the Phoenix airport's gates or fences and getting onto its runways. Sky Harbor spent $10 million to upgrade its perimeter security and access gates after a man being chased by police in 2005 crashed a stolen pickup through a gate and drove onto the runways, passing several jets on a taxiway.
In 2003, two teens in a stolen car crashed through a perimeter fence and drove onto the airfield. Both incidents caused brief closure of aircraft operations.
In Thursday night's incident, an airport operations worker was testing the gate as it was closing when the small sedan crashed through, Sky Harbor spokeswoman Deborah Ostreicher said. The worker promptly notified police and the control tower, which ordered a halt to air traffic operations. Continued...
As the car made it onto a runway, Anderson lost control, then took off again, Crump said.
A police probable cause statement said she then hit a portable toilet and kept driving until an officer rammed her car and caused it to spin around and crash into a fence.
She did not get out of the car after it stopped, and police found her with a pacifier in her month. All she told officers was that she wanted her flip-flop shoe.
Ostreicher said no aircraft were nearby at the time and no passengers were in immediate danger. Airport operations were stopped for about 15 minutes.
The airport's operators are satisfied with its fence security and Sky Harbor exceeds federal security standards, Ostreicher said. She said the airport has no plans at this point to beef up fence security, but will work with federal authorities to see if there are other things the Phoenix airport could be doing.
"The important thing to know here is that what was supposed to happen happened," Ostreicher said.
Ostreicher conceded it's possible that Anderson could have reached a plane, but also noted that there was no aircraft leaving or departing the area at the time.
Similar examples have occurred at airports around the country.
A man crashed his SUV through a locked gate at Philadelphia International Airport on March 1 and drove down a runway at speeds of more than 100 mph as a plane was fast approaching him from behind. The incident caused a major disruption, forcing air traffic controllers to put dozens of flights into holding patterns and delaying the departures of dozens more. He was sentenced to 16 months in prison.
In Grand Junction, Colo., a driver smashed through a fence while under the influence of alcohol in 2008 before getting stuck atop electrical equipment. Continued...
And in September, an apparently mentally unstable woman drove through a fence onto the West Oahu Kalaeloa Airport in Hawaii and asked to see the airplanes. After she was denied, she drove toward a taxing Air Force C-17 transport, but was stopped.
Earlier this year, a man swam ashore at New York's Kennedy Airport after his personal watercraft ran out of gas. He climbed a security fence and made his way onto the airport. Officials immediately beefed up security after the Aug. 13 incident, which did not trigger an intrusion detection system.
Most airports don't have intrusion systems like the one at JFK, but they should be added, Price said.
Beefing up airport gates by adding pop-up barriers would also address vulnerability like that exposed at Sky Harbor Thursday night.
Normal practice for airport workers is to allow the gate to close once they've driven though so another car can't follow it onto the airfield, Price said. But as Thursday night's incident shows, that's not always possible.
Military bases often use pop-up barriers, and Los Angeles International Airport had added some, Price said.
"What we're trying to do is keep somebody from intentionally coming onto the field and driving into a plane, whether that's because they were drunk and accidentally hit the plane or they intentionally wanted to try and hit the aircraft," Price said.
"Frankly, you don't need to fill a car with explosives and drive it into a plane on the airfield. All you have to do is manage to get on the field and hit the plane while it's on takeoff or landing and you're going to have a catastrophe."

On-Air Bloopers
By: Import User
Updated: February 6, 2009
Jason wrote: "Your reporters did a terrible job and I couldn't watch it anymore."
Jason's email raises a good question: Why do some of those stupid mistakes get made?
Well, first, remember that it is live television and whenever it's live it's a good idea to remember this old saying, "If it can go wrong, it will go wrong."
The mistakes; however, are not always the fault of the reporter.
We dug way back in our video archive to find the first example of that.
It was the 1950s and during a commercial for Western Chevrolet, a pedestrian walks into the middle of a "live" commercial as it's being filmed.
Making matters worse, he doesn't just walk through: he stops, then backs up.
About all the announcer could do was just grin and bear it.
Then, there was the time that the wrong video got on the air.
Instead of the golf leader boards, video of the actual match was on the air.
The sports anchor tried to alert the director to "cut" the video, but the director cut back to the anchor desk early and we see the anchor looking like he wants to decapitate someone.
Then there are times that things just go from bad to worse.
There was a live report from an ice-covered highway during which an 18-wheeler slides on the ice right behind the unsuspecting reporter.
And there was the "live" shot that got on the air early (so all we see is the reporter saying she can't hear anything).
While it's fun to go back and watch these bloopers, remember that what makes them fun is that they were unscripted and unplanned.
Remember, though, that they were also embarrassing.
Given today's overwhelming amount of technology involved in every newscast, plus the fact that so many people are involved in it getting on the air; perhaps the thing to take note of is not the mistakes, but the times it gets on the air right.

Wednesday, 06/28/2000
PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ
Set 1: CDTChalk Dust Torture, SlothThe Sloth, Taste, GinBathtub Gin, Piper, If I Could
Set 2: DwDDown with Disease > HoodHarry Hood > JibbooGotta Jibboo > CircusWhen the Circus Comes > Mike'sMike's Song[1], Albuquerque > WeekapaugWeekapaug Groove
Encore: First Tube > Loving Cup
[1] Mid-jam "break," another jam segment, and then another break that led into Albuquerque.
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon
Notes: During a glowstick "war" in Hood, Trey caught a few glowsticks and threw them back into the crowd, eliciting a huge cheer from the crowd. Mike's Song contained a mid-jam "break," another jam segment, and then another break that led into Albuquerque. If I Could was played for the first time since July 31, 1998 (123 shows).
This show was part of the "2000 Summer U.S. Tour."
Set II leads off with DWD, which rocks along in standard DWD fashion before slowing to a crawl, Trey going to the effects pedal to wring some weird noises out of his guitar, Mike and Fish holding down a steady DWD-style backdrop, and then just when you're lulled by the low-gear jam the band explodes back into a DWD reprise and then immediately goes into Hood, which is also good but not a standout to my ears (although the crowd roars at Trey hucking the glowsticks back at the crowd are fun). Jibboo and Circus are whatever. Then comes Mike's Song, which brings a muscular energy right off the bat and locks into a Mike-driven jam (seriously, the bass will stick in your throat, it's so thick), with some of those techno-flourishes the kids were talking about back in the day (see: the next show). Then comes a sudden full band stop in the jam, a pause for cheering, and an equally sudden, fluid return into the jam...for about a minute, before another full band stop, upon which Trey starts up Albuquerque. Albuquerque actually makes a lot of sense as a palate cleanser (dig the harmonies!), and Weekapaug catches fire at the end, nearly on par with the greats (12/31/95, 7/17/98) for sheer intensity. A nice two-song encore sends everyone out happy.
I don't know if I would call this a classic show or anything, but the opening Gin definitely begs to be heard and the Mike's Groove is excellent, so I can recommend a download without hesitation.
Whatever merit those complaints might hold, however, is counteracted by several awesome jams. This is an all-time great Bathtub Gin. For me, it falls in fourth place, right behind Riverport, Went, and Paradiso 7.1.97. We've all got Fish to thank for it too. He falls into this great little disco-funk groove shortly after the jam starts, and the rest is history.
Aside from the Gin, which is undoubtedly the single greatest part of the show, there are well above average versions of Mike's Song and Taste to be had here. Mike's is dirty, really dirty. Shit's gross. And Taste seems to me to be much more patient than most versions. For my money, those are the top three songs of the show, though CDT, Disease, and Hood are all fine as well.
This show is far from all bad, but as a whole, it just doesn't make very much sense to me. There are plenty of shows with weird setlists that I think work, this just isn't one of them. The jams are great though, and I'm always open to Albuquerque, it's such a great song. If I could give half stars I'd give this show 3.5 stars... I'll be nice and bump it up to 4 since I can't.
P.S. I noticed while I was proof reading that, in the last paragraph, I used the phrase "if I could" colloquially. Kind of ironic, and completely unintentional.

Update: As expected, http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/sony-declines-to-comment-on-killzone-3 reports that Sony has declined to comment on rumours that Killzone 3 is "deep in development" and will be released next year.
It appears the latest issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine hints that Killzone 3 is "deep in development" for PS3 and readying itself for 2010, alongside a follow up to Call Of Duty: World At War from Treyarch and Resistance 3.
If Killzone 3 were to launch in late 2010, it would be an approximate 18 month turn-around for Guerilla, certainly not out of the realms of possibility with the engine already complete.
To quote: While reading a copy of PlayStation: The Official Magazine (December 2009) issue that was sent to my mail, something really seemed to catch my eye. On page 20 of the magazine there is an article titled "The Secret Games of 2010? and it just so happens to speak of Killzone 3.
"Insider slips reveal three big names you can already pencil for the next year. Killzone 3 is reportedly deep in development, Insomniac's Full Moon Show podcast hints at a project we can only conclude is Resistance 3, and a Treyarch employee's online mentions a Call of Duty: World at War sequel."
