The worst happens: a nuclear strike occurs near you. Depending on the size, "near" might mean a mile or 20 miles.
The following information comes from a pocket card provided by http://www.physiciansforcivildefense.org/ which can be reproduced and distributed freely. The organization encourages just that. Thank you, Mrs. B, for giving me mine.
To quote from the card, "These principles were developed during nuclear weapons tests test the 1940s -1960s and remain valid today ! The laws of physics do not change."
You should learn this training - it's not complex and even seems obvious once you understand them and the principles behind them. If you don't survive the first minute, first hour or first day, all the rest of one's preparedness means nothing.

60 SECOND NUCLEAR DETONATION
TRAINING FOR FIRST RESPONDERS
A.
Drop & cover when you see a flash. Stay down behind cover for two full minutes. Even covering with a newspaper can prevent burns. Keep eyes closed during bright light to prevent blindness.
B.
7 / 10 Rule: Fallout loses 90% of its radioactivity in the first 7 hours after a detonation and an additional 90% for every 7-fold increase in time: 90% in the first seven hours; 90% in 49 hours (two days) and 99.9% in two weeks.
C.
Fallout looks like sand, ash or grit as it falls and accumulates on the ground. If no fallout is visible on the ground, there is no radiation ! To be sure, place a piece of smooth white paper, a dinner plate or anything with a smooth surface on the ground & check every 15 minutes for fallout particles.
If visual indications of fallout appear take shelter for two or three days underground or behind thick walls. (These tips are generally true.)
This card may be the only nuclear training you get. Knowing A, B, & C can protect your life and your department.
Give a card to each emergency responder in your jurisdiction.

Word of the Day
"Carapace" - noun [$10]
Carapace means a protective outer coating.
Sentence: There is nothing in the world like the light of a nuclear explosion - literally, in its spectrum and awesome intensity. But it is still light and any carapace can protect you from severe burns that it would otherwise cause very severe burns.

good morning Bman !!!!
all i want for xmas is a strong dollar
what a f'ng joke the USdollar has become...............i saw on cnn last night that mexican drug dealers are adding a 'surcharge' fee if you pay in dollars
dollar tankaroooooooooooooo
who said this Bman ???
" Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree."
this motherf'ng scumbag john bogle needs to go
Vanguard founder John Bogle says he “loves” the speculation tax. “The tax costs to traders are basically zero,” he says, “and the commission costs are half a penny a share or something like that. So we’ve taken the frictional costs out and that helps explain why we’ve had this orgy of speculation.”

orgy of speculation?
lmaoooooooooooo
"long term investor"
how has that worked out faggot???
Russell Long, a long serving senator from Lousiana, son of Huey Long.
hmmm Bogle is a but of an old fool on that one.
Why add friction ?
Nonsence.
bit of an old, doddering fool.
interesting stuff Bman thanks...
Bogle, like Arthur Levitt, is ready for the dog track.
Why do some old men not know when to retire gracefully ?
Instead, they open their mouths and look like fools ...
Goldwater, Volcker, Levitt, Bogle ...
Bunkerman..what would you think of a person ..who adds people in favor of a transaction tax to a testicular,pancreatic cancer wish list??...and is proud of it...boasts about it....I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemies....its disgusting....and I only hope he drops it because if...down the road... he or someone in his family get sick....he will feel like a total FLdumbazz shitheel when asking a higher power for help.....
been thinking about the water ...
My weakness is a complete surprise.
I have a two day + supply in sterilized packets.
So we'd hunker down for two days, then have to get in truck & go to river.
With gloves and staying inside truck except fast to fill the barrels, I would minimize the radiation exposure. Also, I have plenty of KI pills.
with 10 minutes warning I could get the barrels filled.
A small window of risk.
I wonder if I can by a full NBC outfit somewhere ?
well, being a gracious person, I think some people say stupid, foolish things in times of emotion and stress.
yes...you'd be walking on fallout tracking it back in
that is being gracious indeed ...like people who have gotten cancer or an illness..have done something wrong in their lives.....justifying it by saying he's tryin to kill me from making $$$......you're a small man son
not tracking in IF boots / overshoes get jettisoned outside.
I admit there is a small risk, but per radiation decay, would avoid 99% of even a small time exposure.
It's the time of exposure x the intensity that matters.
If you keep that fallout itself physically off your body, the alpha and beta radiation is avoided.
It's then the gamma rays.
That's why a thick walled bunker is best.
pat on the back...Bunk..you have steered a fine wheel this year(not many steppig up in Jan like you did)...good for you
no fallout..no radiation..good to know..lol
Bunkerman do you like the over or the under on SPX 1200 by 12/31/10?
mfl, on that I'd take over.
It might be just intraday ...
;)
I think any ups over 1200 depends on 1) failure of ObamaCare and 2) failure of Copenhagen.
I also think the R's getting a boost in 2010 Congress is important ... gotta gut that EPA ruling.
DOUCHEBAG OF THE YEAR AWARD
and the winner for the 10th year in a row issssss.....
HAL!!!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO no shit
Bunky...I see nonooo buys today, I don't see any...thought you were a real buyer...a dip tripper.
I'll wait to buy lower or short on a rally to 1150.
I'm getting rested and ready ...
If I see "screaming buys" I'll act.
wait for ur pitch bunk.. Yankee style..nono Big Papi in April style....good eye...good eye....
50% bonus tax..govts want their tribute....no matter the monkey(mab) wrench in the machine...they have bills to pay ya knowwwww
