The Pin Pricks of a Busy Bee: How to Survive a Flood

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on June 8, 2015 Respond

By A.J Roche’

Summer is here and many of us can not wait to embark on the great outdoors! With summer fun, comes summer dangers as How to survive a floodwell. Melting snow, monsoon season, heavy rainfall… all kinds of factors for flooding! Here are a few tips to help you survive a flood.

The overflowing of rivers, lakes and reservoirs caused by ice jams, heavy rains, melted snow or the collapse and overflow of dykes, dams and arroyos, are the main cause of floods. Hurricanes, high tides and tidal surges may also be a contributing factor.

Flash Flood

Flash Floods are scary and can be dangerous. In flat or mountainous terrain, distant rain may be channeled into ravines, gullies or slot canyons without warning, turning a calm streamside into a raging river within minutes! Always be sure to check the weather forecast before and during a wilderness trip. Be aware How to survive a floodof heavy rain in and around your area, especially areas upstream from where you may be camping or visiting.  Try to camp away from streams, creeks and other low-lying areas.

Never stay in an area where the only entrance and exit causes you to cross a stream or river. Watch for the rise of water and the change of color in the water.  Make sure to establish where high grounds are and the easiest routes to get there.  If you suddenly hear a roaring or rumbling sound upstream, take notice, for this may be a flood wave moving towards you at a rapid pace.  Seek higher ground!

Don’t Panic

If Caught in Flood Waters:  Do NOT panic! Easy to say when we are not faced with the situation, but we all know, panic breeds chaos.  Still continue to seek higher ground.  To the best of your ability, try to avoid walking through moving water.  Debris and the sheer force of How to Survive a Floodthe moving water can knock you off your feet.  As little as six inches of moving water can knock you down. Try to use a stick for balance and to check the depth of the water around you.  Avoid downed power lines and never drive through flooded areas.  As little as twofeet can sweep your vehicle away. Also, do not drink the water.  It is most likely contaminated.

To cross a stream or river, look for the shallowest, even section of the river bend.  Do not attempt to cross if the water is more than knee deep.  Again, use a stick for balance and to test the depth of the water.  Best way to cross a river or creek is to turn at a right angle with your back towards the opposite bank.  Shuffle sideways, making sure to test your footing with each step.

Safety First

How to Survive a FloodSafety is key; knowledge is power. Being on top of weather reports while enjoying the great outdoors, may save your life! Never trek out alone and if you do, leave information as to where you may be heading.

Purchasing an all-purpose, battery operated weather radio may also ensure your safety.  Love and light!

Life in the Fader: Professionalism

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on February 28, 2015 Respond

By DJ Flo Fader

Professionalism

Man oh man how I love working with artists who show professionalism. I was lucky coming up. I was exposed to professional artist from the beginning which gave me great perspective and awesome work ethic. This means there wa no time to be a slacker and had to use my time efficiently in order to coexist as a professional artist myself.

Professional Work Environment

While working for 7 Heads Productions as a College Promoter, I was exposed to how a professional environment works. J live was truly the first professional artist I worked with. I learned tons from him. While touring with J I learned how to be punctual, how to articulate my thoughts, and how to make solid relationships from New York to Japan.

Professionalism

My next experience of working with professional artists would be the mighty hip hop group eMC which at that time featured Masta Ace, Wordsworth, Punchline and Stricklin. This was a four man group which meant no time for games, only perfection with every execution at

Professionalism

Masta Ace

every show. Masta ace the head of the group was one of the famous Juice Crew members in the late 80’s who had been in the game for years. Ace and Words exposed me by being communicable and to always push for excellence. Masta Ace is a perfectionist and if I learned anything from him it’s to try to be the closest to perfect as possible.

While living in ABQ I show all perspectives of professionalism that I’ve learned over the years. In My everyday life those past Experiences have molded me into the guy I am today.Gold

Here is another track from my forthcoming Multimedia Book, the Grand Fantastic Life of DJ Flo Fader which will feature my music, photography by award winning photographer Alex Lopez and my fictionalized biography as told by author Alex Paramo. Stay vigilant…

Honorable mention to Asheru, Oddisee, El Da Sensei, Marco Polo, Alchemist, John Shector of Game Records and Lamont Temple

Weirdly’s World: the Chaos Window

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on February 9, 2015 Respond

The Chaos Window by Dave Weirdly

The Chaos WindowA new story is emerging in the ASTRO MONK saga. Involving a Thought Gel a Gun and a few A.C.K.Bots. This page is the start of that story. The AWAKENER finds a planet of abandoned buildings and inadvertently awakens a Gun and a Thought Gel which is a substance used in artificial intelligence in the ASTRO MONK universe.

This page is a favorite of mine when I look at it there is nothing I would change in it . It feels whole to me. It’s a rare thing when this happens. I remember the filmmaker Steven Spielberg once said that out of all the movies that he has made there is only one that he would not change a thing in. That movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark. The first of the Indiana Jones movies and one of my personal favorites of his. Feeling like you made a perfect thing just doesn’t happen a lot even to the most talented people.

Chaos

There is a lot of stuff that swirls around you and funnels in and out of you when you make something emotions ,influences, opinions (yourself and others) thoughts, stories how you feel that day utter chaos swirling around you till all those things converge into you and then pour out of you. It’s a birth. Sometimes you win sometimes you lose. But the most important thing is that you go ahead and look into that window of chaos and open it.

Weirdly’s World: the Un-Relationship

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on January 26, 2015 Respond

The Un-Relationship by Dave Weirdly

wwIn this weeks ASTRO MONK page we have the AWAKENER utterly despondent over the lost friendship of the robot it has awakened.

The AWAKENER has lost possibilities. Like being saved from loneliness and the hope of a new freind. I think sometimes when we lose a new friend especially one we haven’t built much history with there is sometimes a kind of fiction that occurs around that person. Our minds build stories quickly when in need or want . The AWAKENER is very
much in this place now. Not really missing the physical friend but missing the idea of having a friend. Also creeping feelings of loneliness and eventual insanity through isolation after being exiled into deep space doesn’t help ethier.

Relationship on the Horizon

But soon very soon the next page really new possibilities will make their way to the AWAKENER.

Weirdly’s World: the Awakener

Published by communitypublishingabq@gmail.com on October 6, 2014 Respond

ASTRO MONK in the Awakener by Dave Weirdly

In this weeks blog I’m including two pages to pull the story along more. The splash page here gives you a full view of ASTRO MONK in his environment. The citizen in the back ground is an eyeless clairvoyant asking ASTRO MONK for help before the fact.

THE SUITS in the Comics

The Awakener Page 2

Page 2

The next page is really an impression from the 60’s tv show The Outer Limts. The show featured men in suits with bizarre heads frequently. As a kid it struck me as odd and disturbing and stuck with me through my adult life. The weird head in a business suit is a theme running through our culture now. The suits have power over us they run things and have an untouchable quality to them. They are villains or monsters in our current social stage. SLENDER MAN is a good example of this monster in a suit metaphor. The guys in the comic  …are they monsters or misguided or neither ? I leave that up to you.
