WalMart Prepper Food Run
By Luxstar
My first thought after watching National Geographic's American Blackout was how a tiny amount of time and money could have saved some of the characters from having to go to the local grocery store to bid on a can of this or a bottle of that. Here are some suggestions for a Wal-Mart prepper food run.
Libby's chicken Vienna sausage: This is one of my personal favorites (my version of fast food). These have a pull ring pop top. The ones I bought have a 3 year expiration date. I have eaten lots of things that were expired. These will still be good years after that. The Wal-Mart Great Value brand costs a little less but the Libby's tastes better. I eat these right out of the can. I have also added them to soup and pasta. Cost: $0.50. (11 cents per oz). 40 cans for 20 dollars.
Great Value 100% Whole Grain Old Fashioned Oats: I burn through a half a cup every morning. When I was a kid we used to add milk to it without cooking it (water would work also) when we were in a hurry or add boiling water and let it sit for 10 minutes when we were not. If you need to cook or boil water in an American Blackout situation, see my information on cooking with candles.
You can cook your oatmeal or canned soup indoors. Oat meals will expire after 2-3 years, but again this product will be edible long after the expiration date. Cost: $2.88 for 2 pounds 10 ounces which works out to under 7 cents an ounce. This is a great price for bulk dry (like dehydrated) food. You can buy 7 for 20 dollars and some change.
Great Value Spaghetti & Meatballs: This is a Chef Boyardee knock off. It requires a can opener (non- electric for blackouts). These are $0.74 each at my Wal-Mart which works out to under 5 cents per ounce. Eat straight from the can or heat in a pan with 1 to 3 candle flames. Expires after 2 years (extremely conservative "best by" date). 27 cans (meals) for $20.00.
Maruchan Instant Lunch, Ramen Noodles with Vegetables (compare to Cup O Noodles): Just add hot water. These are packed 6 per box for $1.62 which works out to $0.27 each or 74 cups of yum for $20.00. These are only good for a year which is about right.
Great Value Light Chuck Tuna: $0.78 per can. 25 cans for $20.00. Expiration date: March 2018 (and beyond)
Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup (no cup and no vegetables). I buy these as filler for the Great Value Spaghetti and meat balls. In a grid down situation you heat up some water in a sauce pan along with the noodles (don't use the flavor pack). When the noodles are ready, drain the water into a cup and use to make instant coffee. Add a can of spaghetti and meat balls to the noodles and heat (stir occasionally). You will end up with about 2 cans worth of food for about a dollar. I can't find the receipt for these but they are under 25 cents each or more than 80 packs for $20.00.
Warning! According to a recent study significant consumption of Ramen noodles may increase a person's risk for cardiometabolic syndrome, especially in women.
El Mexicano Codito Elbow Enriched Macaroni Product (a traditional south of the border favorite?):
Pasta is more energy intensive to cook than ramen noodles but from experience I can tell you that pasta last quite a bit longer. I need to try the trick some people have used for cooking rice. You bring the rice to a boil and then put it in a thermos to cook for hours without additional heating. In this case 20 or 30 minutes might work. I add these to soup and Chef Boyardee type products to double the size of the meal for pennies.
Cost: 7 oz. bag for 33 cents or 60 bags for $20.00. One bag makes a lot of noodles. I also like to cook these, drain and add grated parmesan cheese and butter. Both of these will be edible at least for a week or two without refrigeration.
Progresso Soup. There are lots of soups to choose from. Pictured is Chicken Gumbo. Cost: 18.5 oz. for $1.48 or 13 cans for $20.00. This is another food that can easily be extended. You can double the volume for under $2.00 for the soup and the noodles.
For other extender ideas and for an easy source of fresh food in an emergency, check out my information on sprouting beans.
As you can see, $160.00 will buy a very large amount of non-perishable food. If you do not have emergency food, you can fix that problem with one trip to Wal-Mart.
Water: This is a subject that deserves an article on its own. But for now, if you don't have water in a grid down emergency situation you should eat your soup first. Then what? You must have water. I do not buy bottled water. I seem to recall seeing a Great Value 24 pack for under $3.00. You can also stop by the sporting goods department and get 5 or 6 gallon water containers. Cleaning and re-filling 2 liter bottles works also.
You can also find at Wal-Mart water storage kits for $96.50.
Includes: 55-gallon water barrel made from food-grade polyethylene.
6 foot hose and hand pump,
2 bottles of water treatment drops,
Barrel lid opener.
I got my barrels from a local animal feed store. Plan on 1 gallon of water per day per person.
Good luck and make your next emergency a pasta party. (A quiet family get together with blacked out windows and subdued LED lighting and lots of soup and pasta). No food is no fun.
Here is the tally from the article for what you can buy (non-perishable emergency food) at my local Wal-Mart for about $160.00:
40 cans of Vienna sausage
7 big boxes of oat meal (Big, 2 pounds 12 oz.)
27 cans of spaghetti and meat balls.
74 Noodles and vegetables (like Cup O Noodles)
25 cans of tuna
80 Ramen Noodle Soup (no cup and no vegetables)
60 bags of macaroni, 7 oz.
13 cans of Progresso Soup

I just watched American Blackout too! I am glad I read your article. Very good ideas for preps from Walmart!
jenn September 7, 14:21
My local Walmart now has a section for bulk items as well. Not a huge selection but great prices
Farmer September 7, 17:07
Love Walmart ?…. but, please don't try to live on this stuff. There are way too many processed foods available (including ramen noodles – look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQlNv2Au-Lg) that are just "not good for you" in the long run. As an alternative, visit Walmart's website and look at their long term survival foods – Walmart is heavily into Augason Farms brand. Last time I looked, shipping was free with a $35 order. These Augason foods in number 10 cans will last 20 to 30 years if stored properly and in most cases are way more nutritious than off the shelf soups, pasta mixes and such.
Concerned dad January 5, 20:02
It is now free shopping with $50 or more orders. Waiting for our first test cans to see if the investments worth the flavor
Concerned dad January 5, 20:03
Shipping not shopping
BillH June 1, 01:59
Free shipping for even the smallest order for "site to store" (you pick it up at your local WalMart). They can ship stuff for free to the local store because they handle it completely within their normal distribution process, along with the other stuff that goes to your local store to restock the shelves each day.
G-Ma to 5 September 12, 17:04
This has recently been omitted at our local WM in south Louisiana. You have to order at least $50 to get free shipping. Anything less you are charged a fee, 'cause Heaven knows, they need the extra money…
Freeman1776 September 7, 20:08
Before you go stocking up on Ramane Noodles, please do some reading of the dangers of eating this cheap food.
Connie Chauvel-Gomez September 7, 23:06
understand Costco also has bulk foods for great prices!
David September 13, 06:17
I suggest going to hosting section and buying a flare gun to protect your ramen and sausage from hungry house pets gone wild.
Mark January 19, 02:50
I'm glad to see folks pointing out the dangers in the Ramen brand and style of noodles. Not only are the noodles themselves coming under fire (even in Japan), but also the containers you cook them in.
I've heard of using a thermos for cooking of products like rice and pasta, but have not done much research on this. I guess even the cheap stainless thermos bottles would work.
TT February 21, 03:05
I would like to suggest to buy cans of meat, fish instead of meat and pasta together in one can or sausage, also
bags of pasta rice, dried or can milk
BillH June 1, 01:40
That is my approach as well. Much less expensive. A few cans of ready to eat stuff is a good idea, but not for longer term. Especially since canned goods packed in tomato sauce go bad in only 2 to 3 years.
BillH June 1, 02:07
And canned meals almost never use whole grains. If you cook up your own grains, beans, etc, then you can get a lot better nutrition.
Froggy September 7, 12:39
I have noticed several articles promoting commercially processed foods, junk foods and those loaded with harmful chemicals. I realize in a pinch, or unplanned preparation, this would work. However, the whole idea is to be prepared ahead of any disaster. Wouldn't it be best to only educate and promote natural, healthy ways to survive when SHTF?
Jeff September 7, 18:18
Oh my Aching gut! Who, in their right mind, would eat this chemical crap garbage? You have got to be kidding me!
left coast chuck September 13, 02:25
Jeff, you will be surprised at what nasty stuff you will eat when you are hungry enough. If the list offends you, I suggest you take it to Whole Foods or your local health food store and buy their products as a substitute. I think you will find that you are going to pay a significant amount more for the health food substitute items
The whole point of this article was how one can get a supply of LIFE SUSTAINING (sorry about the caps, but this word processing program doesn't allow italics or bold face) food products for not very much money.
I'm not fond of Chef Boyardi or Vienna sausages, but let me go three days without food and watch me scarf a can of spaghetti O's cold washed down with 1 liter bottle of Coca Cola.
Grammy December 13, 14:02
And if your kids are used to spaghetti-os, it will be a "comfort food". Change habits now before shtf, but a fall back plan for a few days is not likely to be life threatening
PCK January 6, 15:01
People…Healthy thinking is good, but this would be a Survival Situation…not something where you buy the $160 of Walmart food and start eating it right now. What I do is buy some extra items each time we shop. That way you have good food that you like and it gets rotated . I made a shelving system similar to the soup rack at a store where you put your new cans in the back of the ramped shelf and draw out from the front. That way you rotate your canned foods and always have full shelves of fresh food. Canned foods are marked with a 5 year shelf life and if undamaged will last even longer.
Also canned food is packed in water. You need water to heat it up on your fire or stove and you may not have too much water. Most people will run out of potable water very quickly because they think a little dirt on your hands warrants washing all the time.
PS – Buy tons of toilet paper and store it upstairs somewhere that it won't get wet. Dirty behinds get diaper rash and you don't want that. Save rainwater in buckets or plastic containers just to wash your butt with…it doesn't have to be potable to perform that type of cleanup.
There is a lot you need to do quickly. I suggest you get busy instead of worrying about too much salt or cholesterol is in some survival type foods.
After reading these comments I am doubtful if 9 out of ten people will die in the first few months after an attack…I bet it will be even worse…good luck to all.

Students who are studying information technology may leave college with four years of education behind them, but at graduation, their journey of learning has only just begun. IT graduates must dive into another level of education if they want to stay competitive and secure job placement.
The material covered for IT certifications moves just as fast as the rapid pace of technology. As a result, many career hopefuls cannot distinguish which certifications will serve their purpose in the short term and for the remainder of their careers.
Beyond the Basics
The best certifications are those that meet the current industry need and are in high demand, and corporations require these slips of paper as a rite of passage. IT professionals know they must obtain CompTIA's Network+ and A+ certifications to be considered. Many corporations will expect these certifications at a minimum since the material learned covers the basics of networks, hardware and software technology.
Beyond these fundamental certifications, many IT professionals disagree as to which designations will best serve career hopefuls. Different certificates apply to varying industries and each will have its place. Most would agree, however, that the following will "separate the men from the boys" and help professionals shine in an ultra-competitive career landscape.
MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional): Enterprise and Database
Microsoft continues to dominate the industry. For this reason, career seekers will become competitive by securing the MCITP Enterprise Administrator certification. Corporations look for proficiency in Active Directory and the ability to configure on the network and application side for all types of environments. They are also interested in professionals who have experience managing small businesses to enterprise-level organizations. The more diverse the professional, the greater the chance of longevity in the IT industry, and the MCITP is the stepping stone to achieve this distinction.
The MCIPT Database is also esteemed in the industry and one of the highest paying technical certifications. Other Microsoft certifications such as the MCITP Virtualization Administrator and the MCITP Enterprise Messaging Administrator on Exchange are recent additions and will become increasingly important and more relevant in the years to come.

CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate)
CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert)
Cisco has been fueling corporations since 1984 and its influence has extended worldwide. For professionals seeking top-level training, the CCNA is the first step towards standing out in a competitive IT landscape.
The CCIE is the elite of Cisco certifications and only a select few will ever see this designation hanging above their desks. The CCIE exam is lengthy and many IT professionals would argue it is not worth the effort. While the CCIE will catapult people into an elite group of IT professionals, many organizations will not pay a CCIE what he is worth, especially if their network needs are already met with CCNA and CCNA Security recipients.
CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)
Security is an increasing concern among organizations that house enormous data and valuable information they must protect. From personal and corporate data to sensitive and proprietary information, securing this data has shifted from a high-priced luxury to an industry necessity. As hackers become more and more intelligent, the need for security professionals will continue to evolve.
The CISSP is administered by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium Inc. IT Professionals who possess knowledge in securing an organization's environment against vulnerabilities will stand out from the crowd. Security experts stay abreast of regulations and new developments that could potentially threaten the infrastructure of organizations. Their demand will never wane, for vulnerabilities could potentially cripple an organization and destroy their entire infrastructure.
Though Windows IT Professionals are in high demand, Apple computers are still one of the top choices among end users. IT career seekers will round out their resumes by receiving the ACSP (Apple Certified Support Professional). Windows engineers routinely encounter Mac machines, and knowing how to offer support at the client level will not only enhance their skills, but also attract the eyes of hiring managers fleetingly sorting through hundreds of resumes.
To stand out from the pack, today's career hopefuls must make an impact and secure the certifications that will not only help them land a job, but ensure them longevity in a dynamic, ever-changing industry.
Technology is the future and today's college students know where the industry is headed. For this reason, the IT industry is inundated with qualified professionals ready to jump in head first. Article courtesy of Southern New Hampsire University Online

Is it possible to connect it to a PC running windoze XP?
If so, how do I connect it up and what may I expect it to do?
I have two machines running on a hardwired network and a laptop via wireless ethernet modem. Could this unit be used as a remote input device, say at the entrance to the church?
Again, if so - how so? If not - why not?

The high-end smartphone that internet giant Amazon plans to launch later this spring will likely come with sponsored LTE data from U.S. operator AT&T, according to reports. While few details have been released, the plan, which will be called Amazon Prime Data, would allow AT&T customers to stream Amazon's content—TV, movies and music—over their Amazon smartphones, without it counting against their LTE data allotments.
While Amazon's upcoming smartphone is rumored to have many game-changing advanced features such as a 3-D effects and gesture-based interface options, the real draw for users may well be the free data for access to Amazon's high-data-consumption branded entertainment offerings. Amazon has followed this strategy before: It has always offered free 3G data for its Kindle readers, and in 2012 it offered 250 MB of LTE data per month for the Kindle Fire HD device for an annual fee of $50. In short, the company realizes that access to data is what the its content business hinges on, and it is willing to do a deal with a major mobile operator to get it. Providing consumers with data opens the door for Amazon—and other similar internet-based entities—to charge consumers for the actual content.
From the point of view of mobile operators, this development, if it actually goes through and proves successful, would constitute yet another piece of evidence that partnering with large entities like Amazon will be an increasingly attractive option for revenue generation. And considering that the FCC, a U.S. regulatory agency, is expected to soften its net neutrality restrictions in the new rules that will be announced on 15 May, the climate is likely favorable to the proliferation of special-access data arrangements between operators and content providers.

text: A Los Angeles banker has sued Time Inc., its World Wide Web site and three Internet service providers alleging libel over a Fortune magazine story that accused him of accepting bribes from Bruce McNall, the former Los Angeles Kings owner who is serving time in federal prison for charges relating to bank fraud. Thomas Kempf, president of First Los Angeles Bank, says in his lawsuit that the two-page story, published in February, is "libelous on its face." In addition to Time, which is Fortune's publisher, Kempf is suing the reporter and editor who worked on the story; Time New Media, which operates a Web site; and online service providers Earthlink Network, America Online and Prodigy Services. The suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accuses the Internet companies of "publishing" the allegedly libelous story and seeks $30 million in damages. But Jim Jenal, co-founder of the Internet law practice group at O'Melveny & Myers in Los Angeles, said the Communications Decency Act protects Internet service providers and Web sites against liability in libel cases involving content created by other parties. Shares of Time parent company Time Warner Inc. rose $1.50 to $114 Thursday on the NYSE.

A few answers to the Most Common Errors which have been found in books, magazines, newspapers and seen on TV.
Christo was born in Bulgaria. NOT IN SIX OTHER COUNTRIES as it has been published in various newspapers, art books, art magazines and heard on television.
Error: Christo (1) wrapped (2) some (3) islands in Florida, off the coast of Miami (4) in Key Biscayne (5), with pink plastic (6). There are six errors in that one sentence.
1. & 2. Christo and Jeanne-Claude never Wrapped any Islands. They Surrounded the Islands.
3. There were eleven islands surrounded, but because in two occasions 2 islands were surrounded together, there was a total of nine configurations on a span of seven miles.
4. Not off the coast -- off the coast would be in the Atlantic Ocean --East of Miami Beach.
5. It was in Biscayne Bay in the heart of the City of Miami, between the City of Miami and Miami Beach. "Key Biscayne" is many miles away from there.
6. Not plastic -- FABRIC. Woven Polypropylene is a man-made fiber, and is woven. Plastic refers to a film, not woven. For instance, women who wear nylon stockings are not wearing plastic stockings.
1. Sonoma is a city in Northern California many miles away from the Running Fence. Running Fence was in Sonoma County and in Marin County.
2. The nylon fabric of the Running Fence could never be used for parachutes -- God forbid that anyone would ever jump with that type of fabric.
ONE exception: In Australia in 1969, out of 125 paid workers, eleven architecture students refused to be paid -- three of them became artists after the project and are now well known.
Error: The Christos are mysterious about their work?
NO -- Christo and Jeanne-Claude constantly lecture and answer questions from the audience, in museums, colleges, universities and schools all over the world.
Error: Mr. Christo.
No -- Christo is his first name and the only one he uses. Jeanne-Claude uses her first name. Their son Cyril uses Christo's first name as his legal last name: Cyril Christo.
Error: Jean-Claude.
No -- Jeanne-Claude (in French Jean-Claude is a man's name).
Error: Christo (1) always (2) sold his work at high price.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are their own art dealers, they sell Christo's works to Art Collectors, Museums, Galleries and Art Dealers. In 1958, the price of Christo's works varied, according to size, between $40 and $100. The Christos were happy with such prices, because their rent was $70 a month. To supplement the "non-sales" of his art, between 1956 and 1964 Christo had to paint portraits, oil on canvas, which he signed by his family name: Javacheff. Those were highly paid, $200 to $300 each, that is how they could survive -- that is also how he met Jeanne-Claude, in Paris in 1958, when he painted the portrait of Jeanne-Claude's mother.
Error: Conceptual Artists.
No -- a conception on a paper is not the Christos' idea of art. They want to build their projects. They could save a lot of money by not building them, by just keeping them on paper -- as conceptual artists do. The Christos want to SEE their project realized because they believe it will be beautiful.
Environmental Artist:
Yes, because they did many works in Cities, in Urban environments, and also in Rural Environments but NEVER in deserted places, and always sites already prepared and used by people, managed by human beings for human beings. Therefore they are not "Land Art" either.
Error: The Easy life of an artist.
Not so. Christo works an average of 14 hours a day, 7 days a week. Jeanne-Claude is a bit more lazy, only 12 hours a day.
So called Environmentalists, in the past, have claimed, before each project that the Christos will hurt the environment. They realized, after the completion that:
1. Christo and Jeanne-Claude are the cleanest artists in the world, all is removed, their large scale works of art are temporary.
2. The sites are restored to their original condition and most materials are recycled. Except: in Florida, for the Surrounded Islands, the site was not restored to its original condition. The Christos' workers removed, before the project, at Christo and Jeanne-Claude's expense, 40 tons of garbage from the eleven Islands -- of course the garbage was not restored to the Islands!
3. The Real Environmentalists such as the Audubon Society and the Sierra Club, find themselves on Christo and Jeanne-Claude's side -- because they are better informed and they know how much the Christos spend to make the public aware of the environment, through the art work, much more than Environmentalists can afford to do.
Error: See the art work best by flying.
No! None of their work is designed for the birds, all have a scale to be enjoyed by human beings.
About The Umbrellas, Japan-USA, 1984-91 .
The Christos designed The Umbrellas to be seen by driving and also by walking, and going UNDER The Umbrellas, and sitting on the sitting platform/base cover. Neither Christo nor Jeanne-Claude flew to look at their previous works -- Wrapped Coast, Valley Curtain, Running Fence, Wrapped Walk Ways, The Pont Neuf Wrapped -- because those works were designed to be experienced from the ground -- NOT by flying.
The Umbrellas.

The Surrounded Islands were designed to be seen from the surrounding buildings, all around the Bay, from the bridges and causeways, from the Roads, by boat and also from the air -- Christo flew by helicopter ONCE -- for 20 minutes -- and only at Surrounded Islands. Jeanne-Claude flew more times because it was the fast way to check on the progress of the work and she wanted to take photos at the same time as Wolfgang Volz. The Umbrellas were NOT designed to be seen from the air. The temporary work of art could not be fully enjoyed from the air. Hundreds of umbrellas were placed along the roads, very accessible, on public property for the public to freely enjoy and photograph. After 18 days, the Umbrellas were removed from the land. They were taken apart and most of the materials were recycled. The paint was scraped off the aluminum parts, which were melted down and used again as aluminum -- like soda cans or whatever aluminum is used for. The steel bases became scrap metal or were used as bases for satellite dishes. The fabric used in the projects are always industrial man-made fabric, which are manufactured for ecological purposes (air and water filters, or sand bags against floods), or agricultural purposes, such as "erosion control mesh" which was used for the Wrapped Coast in Australia in 1969, and for construction purposes.
Why Umbrellas?
Like all their projects, this work of art was not only aesthetic about creating Joy and Beauty -- it was about comparison -- showing the similarities and differences in the ways of life and the use of the land of two peoples -- the two richest in the world -- living across the Pacific Ocean. Space is an element of the 3-Dimensional works of art -- a sculpture has its own space around it, while a painting is a flat surface. Christo and Jeanne-Claude wanted to show the differences of the use of the space in an inland valley in the USA and in an inland valley in Japan -- they needed a free standing module or shape that they would place in a configuration reflecting the availability of the space in the valley in Ibaraki and the valley in California. Because there is less space available in Japan (92% of the land cannot be used, because of the steep volcanic mountains; 124 million Japanese people live on only 8% of the surface of Japan) the Christos positioned the Umbrellas quite close together, sometimes following the geometry of the rice fields. In California, the configuration of the design on the land showed the vastness of the uncultivated grazing land. The configuration was whimsical and the Umbrellas were spreading in every direction. Also, the Christos needed a structure which can be opened very quickly -- it took 45 seconds to crank open each Umbrella, and this is related to the temporary character of the project. The shape of an Umbrella is quite similar to the pointed roof of a house; the height was the same as the average 2 story houses. Christo and Jeanne-Claude say that they were building houses without walls, like creating temporary settlements. An Umbrella is a symbol for shelter, against both rain and sun. It is an image that is easily understood, by any age, any country, any civilization, and this, for the past 4,800 years, since the Umbrella shape was invented in Mesopotamia. Today Iran is part of what was Mesopotamia, where, in those days, the people believed that the sky was a giant Umbrella placed by the Gods, to protect human beings. The shape of the Umbrella is found throughout the art history of any century and civilization, as in Persepolis, Bas Relief, Darius under an umbrella, the main characters in paintings and frescoes are often under an umbrella.
Why Blue ? Why Yellow?
In Japan where it rains throughout the summer the landscape is green. There is a river, the Sato River, in which 90 Umbrellas were standing in the water. Many different shades of green vegetation. It is a humid and wet landscape therefore: Blue Umbrellas.
The Umbrellas.

In Southern California the dry Season lasts during the whole summer. The grass is burnt by the sun, and becomes blond grass on brown hills. It is a dry landscape, therefore: Yellow Umbrellas.
The Umbrellas.

This was part of the aesthetic of the temporary work of art, which was a comparison showing the similarities and differences between the landscapes. The Christos chose two landscapes which were visually different, even though so many parts were similar.
Some similarities: 2 Inland Valleys - used by people. Not touristic -- Real Life -- inhabited by people doing their usual activities. In both Countries: People -- Houses -- Villages -- Small Towns -- Roads -- Traffic -- Barns -- Churches/Temples -- Schools -- Post Offices -- Restaurants --Stores -- Gas Stations. In the two richest countries in the world.
Some Differences: 452 Landowners in a shorter valley in Ibaraki, Japan, 12 miles long (19 Km); 26 Landowners in California, the valley was 18 miles long (29 Km).
Why Ibaraki? Why California?
When the Christos were looking for the 2 ideal valleys across the Pacific, they wanted the valleys to be quite accessible, not far from a metropolitan area, so that the work would be easier, for the workers, supplies, and for the visitors. Ibaraki is just north of Tokyo, close to Narita International airport. The California site is just north of Los Angles, close to LAX International airport. The Pacific Rim unites the two sites, it would not be so if the Christos had chosen the East Coast of the USA or the northern part of the West Coast, the landscape would be too similar to the verdant Ibaraki, and it would not have the relationship brought by the Pacific.
Why more in California than in Japan?
There were 1,760 Umbrellas in California and 1,340 in Japan. The valley was longer in California, it was 18 miles (29 km) long and in Japan the valley was 12 miles (19 km) long.
Why 3,100?
The number of Umbrellas came out of the inspiration of the artists, while looking at the topographic maps and later in 1988, walking around and climbing up and down many times, surveying the land and creating their own design or drawing on the two landscapes. There was an ever present factor to limit the number to 3,000. That factor is called Jeanne-Claude, who kept saying that the maximum cost should be for 3,000 Umbrellas, however there were 3,100!!!
About Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1971-95.
The History of the Reichstag and significant dates of the Wrapped Reichstag, Project are written on in a separate paper, but there are a few things which must be mentioned. The Nazis never held a parliamentary session inside the Reichstag. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Reichstag was situated in the British Occupation zone of West Berlin, however part of the East facade of the Building was under the jurisdiction of the Soviet Occupation zone of East Berlin. The Reichstag was NOT located in the "no-man's land" between East and West. That empty, desolate space East of the Berlin Wall was entirely in the Soviet zone. The Wall itself was NOT the border between East and West, the Wall was built entirely inside East Berlin, otherwise the Soviets would not have been able to build it.
When Christo and Jeanne-Claude discuss a new project, it usually ends up larger than Jeanne-Claude wanted. For instance, when Jeanne-Claude proposed to Christo the idea of the Surrounded Islands, she meant to surround three or four islands... They surrounded eleven islands.
What do the Christos mean when they talk about the "Software" and the "Hardware" period? The software period is the time during which the project exists only on Christo's preparation drawings and in the imagination of the artists and their collaborators, and all those from whom permissions must be obtained -- many years of work, 1984 to 1991 for the Umbrellas, 1975 to 1985 for The Pont Neuf, 1971 to 1995 for the Wrapped Reichstag. The drawings on paper created by Christo are always done before the completion of a project. Those preparatory drawings, collages, scale models, are revealing of the evolution of the details, through the development and crystallization of the initial idea.

and Western USA, 1987.

They reflect the years of research involving the location of the site, the accumulated knowledge of the site and the technical aspects of the structure slowly evolving towards the final engineering and the construction blue prints. As with all artists, those drawings are sold by the artist's art dealer -- in the case of Christo's drawings, Christo and Jeanne-Claude are their own art dealers. They sell to museums, art collectors, art dealers and galleries, through the Corporation which was created to build the projects. The money coming from the sale of Christo's original works of art is used to pay all the expenses of the preparation, completion, maintenance and removal. Not only there is no profit, there is not even money back -- just like bringing up a child.
The Christos do NOT sell T-shirts, Postcards, Posters, Photographs and have NO royalties on the sale of any of these. The Christos have no royalties either on the books and films about their works. On the contrary they often financially helped the publication of the books until 1995 and entirely financed the making of the documentaries by Maysles Films.
It is totally idiotic to call Christo and Jeanne-Claude the "wrapping artists." So many works were not wrapping:
Iron Curtain.

Valley Curtain.

The Iron Curtain, Paris, 1962; Valley Curtain, 1970-72; Running Fence, 1972-76; Surrounded Islands, 1980-83; The Umbrellas, 1984-91. Only three buildings were wrapped: The Kunsthalle Berne, 1968, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 1969 and The Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1995, which is the third and last wrapped building -- it was initiated in 1961 first and then again in 1971. In 1971 the Valley Curtain was already well underway, and was NOT a wrapping. The last time they had an idea of "wrapping" was in 1975 -- The Pont Neuf Wrapped but it took ten years to get permission. The "Wrapping" is NOT at all the common denominator of the works, what is really the common denominator is the use of FABRIC, CLOTH, TEXTILE. Fragile and temporary material which translate the temporary character of the works of art.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude were both born on June 13, 1935. In 1994, they decided to officially change the artist name Christo into: the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. They have been working together since their first outdoor temporary work: Dockside Packages, Cologne Harbor, 1961. Because Christo was already an artist when they met in 1958, and Jeanne-Claude was not an artist then, they have decided that their name will be "Christo and Jeanne-Claude", NOT Jeanne-Claude and Christo. They are very proud of their son Cyril, born in 1960. Cyril is a poet and has four published books of his poems. In 1985, when Cyril was 25 years old, he produced a documentary film against war, A Stitch for Time, and it was nominated for an Academy Award.
The temporary quality of the projects is an AESTHETIC decision. In order to endow (donate, make a gift) the works of art with the feeling of urgency to be seen, and the tenderness brought by the fact that it will not last, those feelings are usually reserved for other temporary things such as childhood and our own life, those are valued because we KNOW that they will not last. These feelings of love and tenderness Christo and Jeanne-Claude want to offer to their works, as an added value, dimension and aesthetic quality. The fact that Christo and Jeanne-Claude pay for their projects with their own money is also an aesthetic decision, they want to work in total freedom, and is why they accept no sponsors, so that they can do: what they want, how they want, where they want, but of course, not always WHEN they want because it took them 24 years to get the permit for the Wrapped Reichstag, and ten years for The Pont Neuf Wrapped.
All income from the sale of Christo's early works and preparation works on paper, drawings and collages, showing what a project will look like, is spent for the preparation, realization and removal of the projects: Materials, Labor, Shipping, Insurance, Engineering, Staff, Rentals, Legal, etc. The Christos do not spend their money on what is the usual pleasure of most people. They have their own priorities, and spend their money on what is their pleasure: Building works of Art of joy and beauty for themselves and their collaborators, first of all, and for all to enjoy for free. There can be no money back on the expenses because they do not charge admission and they do not accept any commercial offers. The Christos have never received a cent for posters, postcards, books, films, etc. Most Artists receive grants, foundation money and produce commissioned works of art for an art patron -- the Christos do not accept those. They have never accepted sponsorship of any kind, and they never will, because they value their freedom most of all. Also they never accept to create a work in collaboration with other artists, nor the ideas of others for the choice of a site for their work. The search for freedom is the reason why Christo escaped from his native country Bulgaria, at age 21, while it was under Communist rule. Christo and Jeanne-Claude will never allow any kind of "strings attached." They refuse all commercial involvement -- at any price. They refused a ONE Million dollar fee for a 60 second commercial on Japanese television, in 1988. The Christos have lived at the same address since 1964 when they emigrated to the USA -- Christo's studio is on the 5th floor -- there is no elevator. This is their one and only home. Christo has never had an assistant. He works alone in his studio. He even does his own framing. Because the Christos work with so many hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people at the sites of projects, Christo's studio is the only place where he can be by himself, so that he can create the drawings which show their ideas of what a temporary work of art will look like.

Which of these lines from his column from last week about how to spend a day at the Masters most loudly and embarrassingly screams "I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW IMPORTANT I AM!!!"? Your call. I want to apologize in advance for alienating any of our seven readers who love the Masters. I actually enjoy golf quite a bit (despite the shit I give morons like Reilly for loving it) and I'll always watch Sunday at the Masters. As usual, some of this is just hating for hating's sake. I'm sure any of you who are huge golf fans would agree that Reilly is out of fucking control here.
Luck just French-kissed you. You've been handed a one-day ticket to Thursday at this year's Masters. But now you're freaking. You'll never get this chance again. What should you do? Where should you go?
Well, this will be my 25th Masters.
6:05 a.m. -- Wait! Leave your cell phone! Get caught with one on the course and you're banished for life. I know. I was standing on No. 1 once, watching Tiger Woods putt, when my phone rang in my pocket. Ring tone: "Fly Me to the Moon." Utter horror. Two Pinkerton guards took me roughly by the arms and escorted me toward the front gate. I was staring at a lifetime of standing outside the gate next to Gary McCord when I happened to see Augusta National chairman Billy Payne, whom I knew from his running of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. "Billy! Save me!" And he did. But he's not going to save you.
Do you not know Billy Payne? Oh, pity. I certainly do. Like I was saying, Rick Reilly is a fucking asshole.
6:15 a.m. -- Park for free, like everybody else, in one of the 8,500 no-charge spaces that are really close.
What a breath of fresh air! Free parking! In a midsized city on the Georgia-South Carolina border, no less!
Once [your chair] is down, leave. Nobody will take it and nobody will sit in it. The whole deal runs on the honor system, and the Masters is nothing if not honorable.
Totally. Once you get past the rampant racism and sexism, the place is oozing honor and class. It was especially honorable when, in 1984, the tournament decided to start letting pros actually bring their own caddies, rather than forcing them to use the club's caddies who were, you guessed it, all black. And when I said 1984, I mean the 1984 that was 29 years ago.
9 a.m. -- Observe, for a moment, the most well-run sporting event in the world.
Holy hell. It's a fucking golf tournament. Let's see the geniuses that manage to somehow coordinate a slow-moving event with like 80 participants and a few thousand fans successfully put on an Olympics. And geez, much as I despise the NFL, those fuckers have "well-run" down to a science. Any sold out regular season game is a fuck of a lot harder to coordinate than a golf tournament.
And observe all of the stuff you don't see. No ads.
Yeah, I agree, sports are just SO much better to watch when you have to wait twenty fucking minutes for the scoreboard to change.
Just golf played on giant fairways and M.C. Escher greens in front of a lot of Southern women in big hats. Fabulous.
This is the guy who thinks baseball is slow and boring.
10:20 a.m. -- Now, as Jim Nantz would say,
Makes sense that one smarmy buttwipe would enjoy referencing another.
over to 16,
That would have been a non-horrible reference a mere five or six years ago.
For one thing, they're separated from the fans by 150 yards, so they can swear all they want. Certain players (cough, Tiger, cough) really like that.
Golf fans who perceive Tiger to be some kind of "bad boy" are just a bunch of tards. They really are.
d) the Eisenhower cabin, built in the 1950s to the exact standards of the Secret Service. I slept there once. It's not much.
No big deal.
A sitting room and six bedrooms with twin beds. There was a rather pedestrian painting on the wall above my bed. I had a hunch. I checked the signature in the corner. Yep. Painted by Eisenhower.
The room on the corner is where the club's patron saint, Clifford Roberts, always stayed during the "toonamint."
I slept there once, too.
In the desk drawer, there was a little white pamphlet that listed the entire membership. My eyes bulged, but my host asked me not to publish it, so I didn't. The Masters is nothing if not honorable.
Augusta National is nothing if not interested in not pissing off its members, who enable it to do things like offer free parking.
The first time I met Jack Nicklaus was outside this door on Wednesday in 1986 and I had to ask him if he was broke.
Oh, have you not met Jack Nicklaus? I have. I even asked him a "hard-hitting" question that was actually quite a softball. Then I slept in the Eisenhower cabin for.... I believe it was... yes, it was the seventh time I slept there.
12:50 p.m. -- If you're really daring, try to sneak a peek at: a) one of America's finest wine cellars (I've seen it;
1:05 p.m. -- The waiter writes out the bill on a simple little check pad you could buy at Walgreen's for $1.99.
Isn't that uninteresting factoid proof of the greatness of the Masters?
Leap to get it, but the waiter is going to give you the stink eye if you give him anything but cash. Imagine: Augusta National hosts captains of finance and industry and yet if you're not staying on the property, they're not taking any chances with your Visa card.
Imagine: a place that wants to pretend like it's still 1935! It'll shock you to find out that it's located in the South.
2:40 p.m. -- See if you can find Bubba Watson on the course. You want to see what his caddie is wearing on the front of his white overalls: The number 1. It goes to the winner's caddie each year. Who says golf doesn't have jersey numbers?
No one?
3:45 p.m. -- Tired yet? Then go sit in your chair on 18. Savor the quaint tradition of a Masters member announcing the names of the players who are about to approach the green, without a microphone. Shake your head at a tournament with no hospitality tents and yet with hospitality coming out of its ears.

Playing video games is considered as a waste of time by many parents and they are not totally wrong. Video games are fun to play but there needs to be a time limit for a person to play video games. One should not play video games more than an hour or two. Today, video games may not be a waste of time if you are good at it. You can earn a huge sum of money in competitive video game events.

Stock configuration with HDS EDC clip
Comparing HDS EDC and Arc 4+ clips.
Notice that the Arc 4+ clip is bent so that the top of the clip is at bezel level.
I rather like this, as it facilitates the way I carry the Arc 4+, in a grommet on the spine of my New Sun wallet. This allows the light to be more centered on the wallet's side.
When I switched to the HDS EDC, as my every day carry light, I moved the Arc clip to the new light, as shown below.
The photos below show how it simply clips securely to the wallet. I carry the light bezel up in my front pants pocket. This allows me to remove the light from my pocket without having to remove the wallet (with a tug, the clip slips from the grommet, and the light is released)

Why I read M/M Romance?
I first fell in love with romance novels when I read my older sister's copy of Love Story by flashlight while hiding under my bed covers when I was twelve years old. Soon, I discovered that my grandmother, a dreamer who wore large costume jewelry and bright red lipstick, had countless Harlequin Romances scattered throughout her house that I could pirate, and an addiction was born. A few years ago, I bought my first e-reader, and I began to read romances by many different authors, and I stumbled upon author Lorelei James during my cowboy romance phase. While reading one of her M/F/M books, I found the relationship and the racy scenes between the two male characters much more interesting and compelling that any of the scenes involving the female character. My Kindle was soon filled with delicious M/M romances, and I never tire of reading them! I find the relationships between two men in M/M romances to be especially delicious! There's just something about two strong, independent men together in a loving and sexy relationship that's simply amazing. I'm now a total M/M romance junkie, and they are the only romances I now read. Nothing makes the stress of my day fade away like reading a great M/M romance!
Authors to Watch:
- Eli Easton: Blame it on the Mistletoe was amazing – Any author that can make a single kiss as sexy as Easton did in this book is ridiculously talented!
- Cara Dee: Aftermath was so good that I actually hid in the bathroom at work to read it on my I-Phone.
- Riley Hart: She recently followed up her phenomenal first book Collide with her new M/M/M book Broken Pieces that is touching, hot, and emotionally raw all at the same time.
- K-Lee Klein: She recently took her writing to a whole new level with Unbreak my Heart, and I can't wait to read what she writes next.
- Sam B. Morgan: Morgan's recent book Slow Burn was one of those books that grabs you when you start it, and the next thing you know it's 2am and you have to get up early for work. You're tired, but not sorry you stayed up reading the book!
- Ella Frank: This M/F author made the jump to the glorious M/M side of the fence with her book Try, and it was amazing!
- Lana McGregor: His Roommate's Pleasure about the sexual awakening of two college boys was simply fun to read. I'll be back for seconds.
- Parker Williams: His recent book with K.C. Wells Someone to Keep Me captured sweet innocence and sweeter decadence simultaneously. He just keeps getting better and better!
- River Jaymes: The Backup Boyfriend was a lovely example of the gay/out for you trope. I will never pass up the opportunity to read one of Jaymes' books!
- Finn Marlowe: I have re-read Not His Kiss to Take several times – what a yummy, kinky book with characters that were actually interesting and likable! Whether it's a short story or a novel, I have never been disappointed by anything written by Marlowe.

When you're a first-time mom, it's easy to feel like everything is a big deal. You've got to give your baby the perfect foods, have a bedtime routine that makes them feel secure and loved while also teaching them to self-soothe—and, of course, you must document every precious moment.
Then you have another kid or two and suddenly you've swung (too far!) in the other direction. What bedtime routine? And ice cream is a perfectly good first food.
Yes, there are definitely differences between a first-time mom and a seasoned one:

Bucket shops, or "travel consolidators," are travel agencies who have arrangements with specific airlines to sell international tickets for considerably less than the airline's published fares.
You can indeed save money on bucket shop fares, and experience a completely successful trip abroad. However, this segment of the travel industry contains enough landmines that you should use bucket shops only if you follow the tips given in this article.
Although financially secure vendors like Priceline may match or exceed bucket shop international discounts, and provide you with a more comfortable purchasing experience, the bucket shop option is still worth exploring. Their tickets often permit you to change your destination or dates for a fee, which Priceline "Name your own price" tickets, for example, never allow.
But, study these guidelines and proceed with caution!
How to find a reputable bucket shop:
You may see ads for bucket shop airfares in major newspapers and on the Internet. However, even though the newspaper or website may have a good reputation, the bucket shop which advertises there could be at best, disorganized, and at worst, downright dishonest.
Over the years, I have heard many tales of fly-by-night, shady bucket shops (and have had run-ins with several myself), and so I use these only if I have a solid recommendation from:
• a friend who has used the same bucket shop over time,
• a report from the Better Business Bureau, or
• an article in a respected travel journal, such as Frommer's Budget Travel.
One of the best sources for a reliable bucket shop referral is a friend from the same ethnic group as your destination. If it's comfortable, ask your friend to obtain the price quotation. On many routes, travelers whose families originally came from the destination country get the lowest quotes.
A Cautionary Tale: Follow these tips before using bucket shops:
• If you are reside in the U.S., just use American bucket shops. It could be very difficult to pursue a transaction that turned sour if you use a foreign travel consolidator.
• Shops tend to specialize in specific countries. The one you use for Australia is not necessarily the one you want to use for Kenya.
• Bucket shop discounts excel at Asian, Australian, Middle Eastern, eastern European, and African destinations. Discounts are less competitive to western European cities, such as Amsterdam and Paris, because airlines frequently publish specials to these destinations.
• Realize that bucket shop advice may often be biased. Airlines that give bucket shops special deals expect them to push business their way. A bucket shop may not tell you if another shop sells a cheaper or more convenient itinerary.
• Request that quoted fares include all taxes and fees. Extra fees can be a way for a sketchy bucket shop to amp up the price considerably. So get the total price before making a reservation.
• Savings tend to be greatest when you deal with a company that writes its own tickets, instead of an agency that orders tickets from somewhere else. Confirm this with the agency. A good question is, "Can I pick up my ticket today?"
• Pay with a credit card. If the bucket shop turns out to be a scam, you may be able to stop payment with a credit card, but you can't with cash.
• Ask to have their rules for canceling or changing flights in writing. These can be emailed or faxed to you if you cannot get to their office. Some bucket shop tickets may allow you to change flights and dates, others may not. Also, fees for changes may vary considerably.
• Try to buy travel on one airline (or its partners), with as few connections as possible. Any time you increase your number of connections or airlines, you increase your risk of complications, especially if you're traveling with separate tickets for each airline.
Suppose you're flying to Delhi via Moscow on separate airlines. If you miss your Delhi flight because the Moscow flight was late, the Delhi airline in Moscow may tell you it's not responsible for re-booking fees, a hotel overnight, etc.
• In addition, bucket shop tickets are often marked "non-endorsable." This means that if you miss a connection, you can't be rerouted on another airline. On top of that, you may not have the visa required to leave the airport terminal if you have to wait a day or two. So it's always best to fly with as few connections and airlines as possible.
• If possible, pick up your ticket at the bucket shop, instead of having it sent to you, so that you can examine it carefully before leaving the store. Make sure that you have coupons for each flight, correct dates, etc.
Have I scared you off?
Some bucket shops are reputable and some are not. I am not promoting them, nor am I saying to stay completely clear. I just want you to be armed with the best strategies for protecting yourself and setting up a comfortable trip when you find a reputable one. (And, remember – the best source is a trusted friend who has used the same bucket shop many times.)
Let's say better safe than sorry, rather than better save than sorry!

1 Blog, 2 Blog, Red Blog, Blue Blog
I'm going to drive to Mt. Pleasant tomorrow to meet with Shawn & Karen, talking about a direction for blogging in the context of church, ministries, vision for communication. Seacoast is a multi-site church, with nine campuse around South Carolina and Georgia, and blogs might be one way to interact at the local and then also at the wider-spread community.
It makes me think about why I do this, why I blog and journal and share whatever's on my mind with the world. I've kept a notebook since high school - something college-ruled, wire-bound, constantly keeping up with my schedule and to-do lists with pen and paper. The online thing was a natural extension of that - I still have a notebook for keeping lists at work, and I still keep a small notebook for the stuff that doesn't make it to "public". Where I stay pretty open and loose with my private and public life, there's still some stuff that I just need to process without anyone else's interference, thankyouverymuch.
Anyway, writing here is a release for me - a place to share my heart and mind, a place for some feedback and interaction with anyone else paying attention, a place to be goofy and be serious, often in the same post. It's a wonderful way to just write - writers write; practice practice practice - and find my voice as a writer and as a reader. One of the questions I'm asking in light of all this is how formal does a church/ministry blog need to be, as opposed to a personal website? Does every ministry need one, and does there need to be a central design/site/purpose behind what's posted? What parameters or guidelines can be put into place that still allow a freedom to be creative? Is it a place to cast vision only, or a place for finding vision together somehow through the interaction of comments? Is it a brochure of upcoming events, an archive of events past, or a mix of both with a touch of personal group history thrown in to keep it interesting?
How can something that, for me at least, is fairly intimate and vulnerable become a viable tool for others on a more practical and public communications scale?

Victoria Beckham has always been passionate about helping others, and the designer recently put her fashion skills to good use by teaming up with Red Nose Day USA. For the annual campaign to end child poverty, the mom of four created a limited-edition t-shirt featuring an iconic image of the Spice Girls — with a twist.
Retailing at $35, 100 percent of the proceeds will go directly to Red Nose Day to help save and change the lives of children in need in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and some of the poorest communities around the world.
"I've seen firsthand how Red Nose Day USA has touched the lives of millions of children — it's been a true inspiration for me. I was honored to design this shirt and promote the message of Girl Power to young women and children around the world," explained Victoria. "Every t-shirt sold helps this incredible cause continue to ensure all children receive the love, care, and support they need."
Of course, it's not the first time that the former Spice Girl will have tried her hand at designing t-shirts. Last year, she hit back at the haters with a "Fashion Stole My Style" slogan tee, and she recently dropped '90s-inspired shirts as part of her collaboration with Reebok. Read on to get a closer look at her newest creation and then shop one for yourself.

Redefining Design
Design is advancing into an experimental, collaborative territory where design is employed and implemented as a tool to question and transform ideas about industrial production, public and private space, and pre-established systems and networks. The rise of networked culture and the evolving of new technologies are leading to changing concepts of authorship and ownership. The designer is no longer an all-powerful creator, but an element in a network of collaboration and influence. This new 'openness', together with the evolving of new technologies, will have important social and political implications and in this sense we are in fact undergoing a new cultural revolution.
Jan Boelen (1967, Genk) graduated as Product Designer at the Media and DesignAcademy (KHLim) in Genk. He is artistic director at Z33 Hasselt and head of the Master Department Social Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL). He is chairman of the committee for Architecture and Design of the Flemish Community. Jan Boelen founded Z33 in 2002. Z33 is a house for contemporary art. Since 2002, Z33 creates projects and exhibitions which encourage the visitor to take a different look at everyday objects. It is a unique laboratory and meeting place for experiment and innovation where one can visit groundbreaking echibitions featuring contemporary art and design. Jan made exhibitions with Raf Simons, Studio Makkink Bey, John Körmeling, Thomas Lommée, Dunne & Raby, Marti Guixé, Aldo Bakker… Alongside the exhibitions at Z33, Z33 also organizes projects in public space.
