Shaul Mofaz and Jewish Settlements: He Knows Everything But Learns Nothing (JEWISH PRESS) By: Yori Yanover 03/28/12)

JEWISH PRESS Articles-Index-Top
It appears that Tuesday nights big winner of the Kadima party primary vote, like the Royal house of Bourbon, has not forgotten anything and has not learned anything. On November 11, 2009, the Israel Policy Forum (a NY based American Jewish organization which has been criticized for being pro-Palestinian) hosted a conference call discussion with former Defense Minister and former IDF Chief of Staff Shaul Mofaz, in which he laid down his plan for a Permanent Palestinian State. If you or your loved ones reside in Judea and Samaria be afraid, be very afraid.
Indeed, over the past few years, Mofaz has been visiting the parts of Judea and Samaria located within the security fence, to reassure residents that their future is safe. Ynet quotes him as saying, in late 2005: I intend to operate on two issues: The first is to continue to promote the building of the fence in order to provide the citizens with maximum security, and the second is to strengthen settlement blocs, because I believe that the settlement blocs must be strong, together with the Jordan Valley.
But anyone else, apparently, is fair game. On a visit to Maale Adumim, days before the Kadima vote, Mofaz reiterated that he considered this settlement with its 39,000 residents, near Jerusalem, as an integral part of Israels political agenda. Meaning, this one gets to stay, others not so.
The truth is that Shaul Mofaz, who may become Israels next prime minister, is as firm on uprooting thousands of Jewish families from Judea and Samaria as he was about doing the same to the Jews of the Gaza strip.
And it is clear that he acted in Gazas Gush Katif with the full expectation that once the settlements were cleared, a reign of terror and attacks on Israel were likely to follow.
Back in June, 2005, the Jerusalem Posts David Horovitz reported that Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz was preparing to hand over to the Palestinian Authority written information on the location of settlements and on settlement infrastructure in Gush Katif, to keep the PA (which still ruled in Gaza) in the know and help coordinate with them the uprooting of the Jewish settlers.
Briefing reporters, Mofaz took a swipe at former chief of General Staff Moshe Yaalon, whose term at the helm of the IDF was not renewed because Mofaz did not trust him to carry out the removal of Jews from their homes.
The week before that June briefing, Yaalon had warned of an upsurge in terrorism and ultimately war with the Palestinians in the aftermath of disengagement, recorded Horovitz. Mofaz declared, without mentioning Yaalon by name, that some people were inventing radical scenarios about what will happen the day after, when in reality, there were lots of possibilities and Israel had to be ready to deal with any and all of them.
But then, at the very same briefing, Mofaz warned that Hamas was growing stronger in Gaza, outpacing the PA, and thatas Horovitz put ithe envisaged a possibility of Hamas becoming the dominant player there.
With prophetic foresight, Mofaz said: An alternative leadership is rising up under the noses of the PA. He warned that Hamas had a peoples army which was bringing weapons in clandestine ways into Gaza. Indeed, all of Hamas soldiers were now armed and trained, unmolested by the PAs security forces.
On a different occasion, during a tour of Gush Katif that summer, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told reporters that Ashkelon was within the range that needed extra protection from terrorist rockets.
But with all this prophetic insight, Mofaz still did not hesitate to move in on the Jews of Gush Katif and plant the seeds for the very scenario about which he was so worried. Deprived of a base within Gaza, the IDF was later forced to employ a great deal more power than would have been necessary to curtail rocket attacks on Israel just as Mofaz had predicted.
A brilliant analyst he is if only he listened to his own analysis.
There is no love lost between Shaul Mofaz and the settlement movement.
Two years after the annihilation of Jewish Gaza, in his capacity as Transportation Minister in the Kadima government led by PM Ehud Olmert, Mofaz was invited by the Gush Etzion municipality to participate in a ceremony naming the intersection at Efrats northern entrance after the convoys that brought aid to the Jews of Gush Etzion and Jerusalem, who were under Jordanian siege during the 1948- 49 War of Independence.
Mofaz was welcomed with whistles, boos and shouts, which drowned out his short speech. The crowd yelled: Lo Shachachnu we havent forgotten.
With all of the above in mind, here are Shaul Mofazs plans for a permanent Palestinian state, as laid down before the Israel Policy Forum in 2009:
My proposal is to move in two phases to a peace agreement with the Palestinians. I propose the immediate establishment of an independent disarmed Palestinian state in the West Bank and in Gaza. Simultaneously, we will engage in dialogue with the Palestinians on the final status issues.
I believe that a permanent Palestinian state with temporary borders and simultaneous negotiations on the core issues: borders, refugees and Jerusalem, will allow us to rebuild the trust between the two sides, and totally change the atmosphere in our region. In this process, we must have the support of the moderate Arab countries, the European countries and the leadership of the United States.
When asked about negotiating with the Hamas government, Mofaz first states that We cannot accept terror organizations living side-by- side with Israel and launching missiles against our people.
Having said that, Mofaz proceeds:
But, if Hamas accepts the Quartet requirements: stop terror activity and incitement; accept the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish democratic country; and implement all the agreements achieved so far, we will sit with them at the negotiation table, if they are elected by the Palestinian people. In my proposal I agree to negotiate with the elected Palestinian leadership. If the Palestinian people vote for Hamas and Hamas wins the election I will respect their decision and will return to the negotiating table with Hamas as a partner.
When asked what will happen to the settlers outside the approved Jewish settlement blocs in Judea and Samaria, once the state is declared in your first phase? Does Israel remove them, Mofaz shows just how little he has learned from the Gush Katif tragedy:
I believe that in the first year we should pass an evacuation- compensation law in the Knesset and to prepare the civilian infrastructure for the people moving from these settlements to the Galilee or the Negev. We cannot predict the size or the percentage of the people that will move by their own will, but I believe that giving them the infrastructure, giving them the time, knowing that the Palestinian state with temporary borders was approved in a referendum in Israel, will make it easier for them to make the right decision. But we cannot predict how many people will stay in any case in their houses, in their settlements. In the end, we should ask them or remove them to other areas.
Should the reader presume from reading Mofazs well disguised plan that he is essentially looking to act in democratic ways, based on a recognized process which would be approved by the voters, the last statement should turn on the red alert. Back in May, 2004, the Likud party held a referendum on the Gush Katif plan which ended with 65% of the voters against the plan. So PM Sharon ordered Minister of Defense Shaul Mofaz to create an amended plan, which the cabinet approved without the tedious process of offering it up for another vote. And as to the care to be given to Jewish refugees from the evacuated settlements, Ynet reported on a Knesset committee hearing in 2006 on a report on Suicide attempts, heart attacks, and deterioration of family life which were among the symptoms affecting the lives of former Gush Katif settlers evacuated from Gaza last summer. Also, in the same report, it was stated that about 51 percent of the evacuees are unemployed one year after their forced removal.
And that was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the suffering of Gush Katif Jews, who had been given the very same promises by the very same man.
Supporters of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria should take a hard look at this man who today took over the largest Knesset faction and is planning to replace Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister. He has not veered from his original plan to dismantle Jewish life east of the security fence. And, as he has proven in 2005, if anyone can do it, he can. (© 2012 JewishPress. 03/28/12)

Related story: Cal State San Bernardino police fatally shoot student
Photo gallery: Shooting At CSUSB
SAN BERNARDINO - Three Cal State San Bernardino police officers involved in Saturday's fatal shooting of a graduate student were aware that officers had encountered the man twice that morning on reports of disturbances.
Cal State spokesman Sid Robinson said one of the officers had contacted Bartholomew Williams, 38, in the two earlier incidents and that Williams had calmed down when he and police parted ways.
"All of them were aware of the previous calls from that day because one of them had been on those two calls," Robinson said.
San Bernardino police, the agency handling the investigation into the officer-involved shooting in the University Village student complex, said Monday they're continuing their investigation and will eventually submit their case to prosecutors.
Williams, 38, was shot five times following a struggle with three officers in the complex about 6:30 p.m.
During the incident, investigators say police used verbal commands, pepper spray and then baton strikes, but they were unable to gain control of Williams to take him in for a psychological evaluation.
Police said that Williams grabbed pepper spray from one of the officers, sprayed it at the officer and began kicking him when he was on the ground. That's when police opened fire.
Police on Sunday said that Williams exhibited "superhuman strength" in resisting campus officers.
The incident prompted civil rights activists to call on the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office to fast-track the investigation, and for police to re-examine their use-of-force policies with regard to the mentally ill.
Eddie Jones, president of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association, told members of the media in front of Cal State San Bernardino on Monday he plans to seek legislation to change the way police handle the mentally ill.
"There will be change," he said.
He said Williams may not have died if officers had access to Taser guns.
Jones also expressed concern regarding the two prior encounters, which he said gave police a chance to approach the situation differently.
"If they had two encounters with him earlier, they were aware something was wrong," Jones said.
Robinson said Cal State police received two calls, one around 8:30 a.m. near the library and another in a campus parking lot around 10 a.m. Robinson said he had been speaking throughout the day with Cal State University Police Chief Jimmie Brown regarding the incident.
Details on the nature of the disturbances were not available.
But Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, said that the problem is with police training.
Hutchinson was not at Monday's press conference, but has reached out to San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael A. Ramos to request a swift and transparent investigation into the shooting.
"Unfortunately, at this point in time, we only have the statements from the officers, but there were witnesses and we want to hear what they have to say," he said.
Robinson said Cal State officers receive much of the same training as San Bernardino city police, including two rounds of Police Officer Standards and Training sessions annually. They also receive crisis intervention training, which encompasses how law enforcement treats people with mental health issues.
"As this investigation continues to progress and move forward, we'll look at a lot of things," Robinson said. "We're always reviewing policies and procedures. That's just prudent practice."
He said all of Cal State's officers are experienced in law enforcement, and worked for other agencies before coming to the university.
University police have discussed the use of Tasers in the past, but they've never been approved.
"I'm sure as the investigation continues and plays out, that could influence that as well," he said.
Lt. Paul Williams said San Bernardino police also receive crisis intervention training and the department has behavioral health specialists on staff to go to calls involving people who are believed to be mentally ill.
But when a mentally ill person is combative with police, they are treated the same as someone who doesn't have mental health issues.
"Combative is combative," he said. "Injuries happen on both sides."
Officer-involved shootings involving the mentally ill have been on Hutchinson and Jones' radar for about two years, and they say they've been monitoring more than 10 Southland cases in that time.

It's not clear what causes gallbladder cancer.
Doctors know that gallbladder cancer forms when healthy gallbladder cells develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. These mutations cause cells to grow out of control and to continue living when other cells would normally die. The accumulating cells form a tumor that can grow beyond the gallbladder and spread to other areas of the body.
Most gallbladder cancer begins in the glandular cells that line the inner surface of the gallbladder. Gallbladder cancer that begins in this type of cell is called adenocarcinoma. This term refers to the way the cancer cells appear when examined under a microscope.

Dvořák's "New World"
Last Modified:
Part of SA3 Saturday Evening 3
Edo de Waart, conductor
Augustin Hadelich, violin
About This Performance
When Dvořák's Ninth premiered at Carnegie Hall in 1893, each movement ended with wild cheers from the crowd. It remains one of his best-loved symphonies to this day.
Please note: Conductor Christoph Eschenbach and violinist Christian Tetzlaff have had to cancel their appearances this week because of illness. Edo de Waart and Augustin Hadelich have agreed on short notice to replace these artists. The Schoenberg Violin Concerto will not be performed; in its place Mr. Hadelich will play the Beethoven Violin Concerto. The remainder of the program is unchanged.
Come for:
Brave new worlds: Beethoven's revolutionary Romanticism and the "ear-bending" scope of his large-ensemble Violin Concerto nicely foreshadow Dvořák's homage to American symphonic literature.
And more:
Veteran conductor Edo de Waart, who became Assistant Conductor to Leonard Bernstein at the age of 23, will be leading rising star Augustin Hadelich in his Walt Disney Concert Hall debut.
Programs, artists, dates, prices and availability subject to change.

Arnold school researcher honored by National Cancer Institute
University of South Carolina cancer researcher Dr. James Hebert has received a prestigious award from the National Cancer Institute that will enable him to train new researchers and expand his own research in cancer prevention.
James Hebert
Hebert, director of the S.C. Cancer Prevention and Control Program at the Arnold School of Public Health, will receive more than $800,000 over five years for the award, named the Established Investigator Award in Cancer Prevention and Control.
One of only 22 in the United States, the award represents the university's growing prominence in the field of cancer research, university President Harris Pastides said.
"This highly competitive award to one of our nation's leading cancer researchers puts him in the company of those from Harvard University, the Mayo Clinic, the University of Washington and Boston University, all highly regarded for their cancer research programs," Pastides said.
The award also recognizes the reputation of the university's Cancer Prevention and Control Program, located in the Discovery I building of Innovista.
"This is an outstanding example of the ability of our faculty to secure top grants – the faculty whose discoveries, in turn, will drive the future development of Innovista and create jobs," Pastides said.
The CPCP is one of the most innovative statewide programs of its type in the United States, said Hebert, recognized internationally for his research on racial disparities in cancer rates and studies on the role of diet and physical activity in cancer.
"Our program's focus is on addressing cancer disparities that are among the largest in the nation," he said. "We have worked to develop a strong research infrastructure, linking to clinical and public-health practices throughout the state, and training a cadre of research scientists competent to address problems of cancer prevention and control at all levels."
Hebert, who joined the Arnold School faculty in 1999 as a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics, said the funding is important for developing the next generation of cancer researchers. The center already has seven junior faculty members whose scientific contributions are being recognized through peer-reviewed journal articles and new grants.
The award also is an important step in securing funding to support doctoral student stipends and develop a program for post-doctoral fellows in epidemiology, biostatistics and other disciplines at the Arnold School.
"The contributions of young researchers have a great impact on the university, our community and the state," said Hebert, named the 2004 Eminent Scientist of the Year by the World Science Forum.
Hebert was named the university's Health Sciences Distinguished Professor in 2006 and received the S.C. Cancer Alliance Research Award in 2007. He was a Senior Fulbright Fellow in India during the first half of 2009 and has been listed as one of the "Leading Scientists of the World" by the International Biographical Centre in Cambridge, England, since 2005.

I haven't tried or tested any of this but at first glance I don't see why you couldn't. If that paper isn't completely out of date.
I don't know if you missed this but this seems to be the most important part here:
So the only problem you face is knowing the client id, which you seem to already have, and the other seemingly random number that comes right before the hex string. I would think you could brute force that number, it seems to fall within a 1024 or less number range.* update (courtesy John Jacob): The hex string is created using "md5sum [file_name] | cut -c3-16". It can also be replaced by a cache time-to -live value like "1d" for one day, and "15m" for 15 mins.
Why would you specifically need akamai's cache wouldn't there be others that you could use?
Anyways, hope this helped and good luck!

If you haven't noticed by now, I am a sucker for quick and easy side dishes. Some of you will say that this makes a better dessert, but if you have a crazy sweet tooth like mine, it is an amazing side dish. 🙂
Berry Cheesecake Pudding Salad
2 small boxes of instant cheesecake pudding (white chocolate pudding also works)
1 (32 oz) container of low fat strawberry yogurt
1 (16 oz) container of light Cool-Whip
16 oz. frozen mixed berries, partially thawed
3 large fresh bananas, sliced
1 lb. fresh strawberries, sliced
Pour yogurt into a large bowl and mix in pudding (it will be kind of lumpy). Fold in the Cool-Whip (the lumps will go away as you stir it). Add all of the fruit and stir to combine. Keep refrigerated.

Lawmaker wants to pass bill making it illegal for crimes to be recorded
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
South Carolina Senator Vincent Sheheen is proposing a bill that would make it illegal for someone to record a crime on their cell phone.
Sheheen said he wrote the bill after hearing more stories of people punching bystanders and killing them in an incident known as the, "knockout game."
A local defense attorney in Charleston said he isn't so sure this bill may be as effective as it's intended to be.
"It does seem a little unique," David Aylor said. "I haven't seen a lot of knockout cases in South Carolina. I've actually seen none, and my office hasn't seen any."
In addition to concerns over the necessity of the bill, Aylor is also concerned the bill may be redundant. He said there are multiple other felonies someone can be charged with if they are caught recording the video, such as conspiracy.
"It seems like if someone was committing the crime and another person was aware of that or filming that, then you can somehow connect them to the crime similar to a watchout or lookout or maybe the driver of a robbery," David Aylor said.
There are exceptions to the bill. Police are still allowed to use surveillance video as part of their investigation. Also, bystanders who have no part or knowledge of a crime are allowed to record the event to pass along to police or the media.
Aylor said cell phone videos are becoming an essential part of trials.
"The public has a right to see that and continue to," he said. "I think it shines a light on a lot of things that can be helpful to the community."
The bill still has many legal hurdles to get through. It still has to be discussed and voted out of committee, then has to be voted by lawmakers. Lawmakers return to the state house on Tuesday.

Mines technology gains FDA clearance
GOLDEN, Colo., May 6, 2011 – A lifesaving technology originally developed at Colorado School of Mines gained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance today, allowing it to be marketed to health care providers.
The FDA granted clearance to MicroPhage, Inc.'s KeyPathTM MRSA/MSSA Blood Culture Test, which can deliver critical results within hours on patients infected with deadly antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. In just five hours, using two small reaction tubes and a cassette containing two small test strips, the assay identifies whether blood culture specimens are infected with staph and determines if the culture has methicillin antibiotic resistance (MRSA) or susceptibility (MSSA). Without this technology the process can take up to three days and at times lead to patient mortality.
Currently, as many as half of all patients diagnosed with Staph aureus are initially prescribed the wrong antibiotics, contributing significantly to the thousands of deaths caused each year in the U.S. by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Alone, methicillin-resistant strains of Staph aureus, known as MRSA, kill more than 19,000 Americans each year.
"MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant 'superbugs' represent one of the great public health challenges of our century, and identifying those dangerous bacteria early is crucial in both treating patients and limiting the spread of the infection to others," said Don Mooney, president and chief executive officer at MicroPhage. "This test is a timely and a much-needed improvement to an important area of hospital and laboratory medicine."
Dr. Kent Voorhees, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry at Colorado School of Mines, and former PhD student Angelo Madonna, developed the technology for the MRSA/MSSA Blood Culture Test — now trademarked by MicroPhage as the Bacteriophage Amplification Technology (BAT™). This technology exposes bacteria to antibiotics, delivering true phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility results.
"It is very satisfying to know that your scientific contribution will benefit society," said Voorhees. "The citizens of Colorado will both benefit from the healthcare improvement it provides and profit from this technology through job creation and innovative notoriety. The staff at MicroPhage should be congratulated because a very small percentage of start up companies receive this honor."
In 2002, Voorhees and Jack Wheeler incorporated MicroPhage with the purpose of commercializing the technology, which was exclusively licensed from Colorado School of Mines.
"The success of Microphage shows what happens when innovative technology is transferred out of a university to the right company," said Mines Vice President of Research and Technology Transfer Dr. John Poate. "The Colorado School of Mines continues to make research breakthroughs in not only our core strengths of energy and the environment, but in fields such as biotechnology, advanced computing and engineering. We will continue to bring these breakthroughs to market through the appropriate pathway to provide for the economic development of the state and the nation."
Since inception, MicroPhage, Inc. has attracted millions of dollars in investments, gained clearance to sell commercial medical diagnostic products in Europe, received a 2009 R&D 100 Award and now occupies a 5,000-square foot office in Longmont, Colo.

Design and layout
Photo 1: Dry-set the tile on a flat surface
I used paper-faced glass mosaic tiles. They're a little harder to work with than mesh-backed glass tiles, but they're typically cheaper and you can't see the mesh backing through the glass. Working on a slab of 3/4-in. MDF, I fit together the tile border. This meant cutting the tile sheets to fit. Remember to leave grout spaces between the sections of tile. The MDF later became the base of the mirror.
Vern Johnson, TFH art director extraordinaire, is a hands-on fellow who's addicted to glass tile. He was itching for a new tile project that wouldn't break the bank. So he came up with this glass tile border and frame that transforms a plain mirror into a stunning work of art. Big impact—small price. Here's how he did it.
Set and grout the tile
Photo 12: Grout the tile
Grout the tile in the usual way using unsanded grout. For some great tips on grouting, check here http://www.familyhandyman.com/search/grout?searchSource=hdrbox.
For this project, I used a tile adhesive mat—a mat that's sticky on both sides (sold at home centers and tile stores). You stick one side to the frame and then stick the tiles to the face. It's easy to use, you can grout it right away and there's less mess than with mastic. But mastic would definitely be cheaper and it would work fine too.
Attach the mirror
Use special mirror adhesive (available at home centers) to bond the mirror to the MDF backer. Carefully set the mirror in place, then let the adhesive set overnight.
After the glue has dried, turn the mirror over and mark locations for two hanger straps at the top of the mirror. If possible, match these hanger locations to the studs on the wall, but if the spacing doesn't work out where you want to place the mirror, use heavy duty drywall anchors.
Rout channels for the hanger straps with a dado bit set to the depth of the hanger. Screw the straps to the MDF backer, then hang the mirror.

Despite reports Thursday night stating all schools would be open Friday, a message on the district's website noted", "Due to the ongoing law enforcement investigation and thencertainty about the whereabouts of Chris Dorner,"schools will be closed.
Laura Richard, who lives in Sugar Loaf and whose children all attend Bear Valley schols feels it's the rigth choice for the district to make.
"I wasn''t going to send them today anyway. There's just too much uncertainty," she said. "What if he dicides to target kids all of a sudden? They'd be easy targets."
All the mountain schools were placed on lock down Thursday when thesearch for Dorner reached the mountain town after hsi burning truck was found near Bear Mountain resort.
Both ski resorts swere evacuated Thursday but they are scheduled to be open as usual today.
Dorner was not found during the search of the area Thursday. Officials worked through the night looking for Dorner. The search stopped early Friday morning when helicopters were unable to keep searching due to heavy snow conditions in the Big Bear Lake area.

Undercover Cop Takes Pleasure In His Work
In the course of an undercover operation targeting a suspected prostitute, a Pennsylvania police officer disrobed, allowed the woman to place a condom on him, and then engaged in sexual activity with her before announcing that, "the cops were coming."
The unorthodox March 22 operation resulted in the arrest of Diana Gross, 26, on four prostitution-related charges.
According to a criminal complaint, Gross placed an ad on Backpage.com offering her services as an escort. "By the end of your session with me Your once wished fantsay's will no longer just be dreams But finally your reality!," the ad promised. Gross is seen above in a photo from an escort ad.

"Life comes from water," my friend Erich explained at the kitchen table over a beer. "Everywhere you look is something" he quipped, describing the lushness that fills the banks and surrounding terraces along the Colorado river as it carves through the Grand Canyon. Although Erich had made a month-long voyage through the canyon by boat before, this conversation was just 22 hours after our visit there. A journey that made an immutable impression on me as I traversed on foot from one side of the canyon to the other and then back — doing something known as a Rim 2 Rim 2 Rim.
To know something, I must dive in, get my hands dirty and commit. This was my first adult trip to the Grand Canyon so I set my bar high. Always an eager ear to listen to my river-loving friends' tales of the months of their lives spent exploring this place, one of the seven wonders of the world, I came away with a sense that the canyon was quite large and almost guaranteed to free you from the technological and municipal tangles of daily life. It has walls that are five-to-six-thousand feet high, hidden trails that can only be reached by water and tales of explorations in rugged environments as variable as winter and summer in the same day. My friends always echoed that planning is critical to success, keeping it in check is critical to success and luck… well, that would be a part too. I had that this weekend, that was the most critical piece to my success venturing into this stunning terra firma — not for a month, but for a very long day.
At 5:06 AM in sub freezing temps on November 19th, 2013, the three of us, Erich, Heather and I, dropped over the South rim of the Grand Canyon via the South Kaibab trail. A feathery wave of warmer air softly invited us to descend into the chasm, guided by a full moon and anticipation of our long day. The trail was wide and well worn, with each foot strike powdery bursts of red dust erupted and sent a misty cloud into the follower's headlamp beam. Massive jagged shapes — like those drawn in Dr. Seuss's books — slowly rose above us as Gotham-esque outlines. In an hour we were warmed up and dropping 4700′ of vertical to the Colorado river minute by minute. Then suddenly it happened…"Ben" Erich exhaled from behind me "I fell."
I knew how he felt, the day before I had stepped off a snow-covered front porch in Telluride, Co and ate it so hard. I fell directly onto my butt and took a diagonal impact across my entire lower back and sacrum to the point of some immediate swelling, bruising and an occasional pinch since then. Content to carry on and visit the canyon anyway, I iced it in the drivers seat, took some ibuprofen and figured that a six-and- a-half-hour car ride was plenty of time to determine how it would play out.
Unlike my klutzy self, Erich made it to the trail before going down. He caught a foot step in a powdery pocket of dust, hyperextended his right knee and sent his body hurtling forward. Starting from 8 mph and ending at 0 with a white flash and nausea, a crumpled red dust covered being barely set atop a rock is a tough place to be 5.2 miles into a 42.4 mile day. I walked 150′ back up to Erich and helped him assess the situation. His gear lay strewn about the stark landscape like a gypsy yard sale at a Phish show. The impact had been "big" and he sat on a rock, reeling from mild shock.
"Man, what do you think?" I said. "I think I blew my knee and I'm seeing white" he said. Ughhh, I thought, THAT sensation, when you have cratered full-on superman style into a pain cave, disorientation and a sense of despair so low, so ominously coursing through every inch of your body that retching is all that sounds good. Erich was going to need a few minutes to recover, then we would see where he was at. He is a strong dude with a solid chassis.
In a little time, Erich shuffled to his feet and walked 100′ downhill and it was clear that he could move, but rather than take that as a sign to continue, he wisely chose to use his energy to get himself out of the canyon less injured. He was finished. We both knew Heather, tactfully descending somewhere above us, would be a solid back up as she was doing a burly 14 mile day with 9400′ in vertical change, turning around at the bottom of the canyon and heading back up. I cleaned his shades, put his visor back on him and said good bye with his confidence I could still complete the day alone.
Off I went into the dark maw until dawn. I crossed the Colorado river and arrived at my first water break at Phantom Ranch some seven miles, 4700′ of descent and two hours into the day — a slow setup to a long sustained effort. Forty extra minutes of darkness and low temperatures were absorbed in the scenario above and it was important to cruise with a little urgency in the cool morning up a 6200′, 14.2-mile climb to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I had time thanks to the early start and I wasn't bothered at all about being off schedule, just aware that the sun would be up soon. I took off from Phantom Ranch after hastily replacing the half liter of fluids I had consumed and had a nice time running a little harder on the North Kaibab trail's lower reaches and seeing the life Erich had spoken about, the life that comes from water in the depths of such a stark and craggy stack of monoliths.
As I strode through a broad section of opening valley, a hole burst in my hydration reservoir, right at the bottom of the pack and like that, at mile 13 — I had potentially blown this attempt. I had fumbled around in my pack in the dark and placed a sharp object too close to the durable plastic. When I filled the bladder to capacity at Phantom Ranch it put too much pressure on it. My jacket, gloves and two McDonald's cheeseburgers were soaked in an orange solution of gatorade and fresh water. I was super pissed, this was my fault and now jeopardized successfully completing the traverse to one rim, making running back to the other nearly impossible. All I had left were two gels, three blocks, one granola bar and 29 miles to stretch it out.
I have not had an episode like this in a while, where a total meltdown could be so imminent, with nearly no solid food and no water or way to carry water. I was in the bottom of the Grand Canyon, six miles from people in one direction and going to have to pull off 22 more miles with what I had with only two chances for mere sips of water in between. This was a moment for contemplation as a bright wave of sunlight slowly pushed silhouttes of the enveloping 5000′ canyon walls down into the valley and soaked into my bare shoulders for the first time. I made my decision and went for it; I like to finish things, and figured that if had to hike out to conserve energy — I would, I could — even if it meant going into darkness.
This was my sixth "ultra marathon" distance run. I went into it expecting to just cruise it, albeit with a partner, food and water. I had strategically wanted to run hard from miles 21.2 to 35.4 for training, but other than that, I had no real goals other than finishing before dark and having a nice day on the trail with some friends. This was not a race, it was a day out. I had never set foot on a trail in the Grand Canyon so it felt like I should allow time for photos as well, you know, like a tourist. But now this, a chance for an epic draw on my deepest reserves instead became part of the experience. I hadn't explored that kind of distance totally alone before and this was my last run before a mandatory prolonged break for a few weeks in between seasons.
Without belaboring the point or disrespecting the canyon, I will say the eight miles and 6200′ of uphill in the sun were hard with no water! As I neared the top and mile 21.2, I felt the pangs of desperation uncoiling from within and sequestering my brain to intervene and stop this messy attempt if I saw anyone at the parking lot. When I arrived, there in the frost-covered shade of a stone-planted National Park sign were three spigots of water I had planned on seeing. I strolled up, tried all three and not a trickle flowed. "Shit, no water, oh man, it's over," I thought! I sat down, it was cold, my clothing was soaked in my pack and I sort of zoned out and was trembling from the still, cool air in the shade. Moments later, a trio of climbers I passed on the way up appeared and I asked them if they had any disposable water bottles. They gave me a fresh 24 oz. water bottle that I opened and chugged. Damn I was lucky. Flat out, that gesture took this from being the longest day ever to the longest day on empty.
I crammed the awkwurd bottle in my pack and had revitalized my hydration to a manageable point that could be recovered. Cramping in my side due to dehydration and the fall off the porch from the day before inspired me to jog down the trail a little easier until it abated and soon the trail was flowing singletrack and a river ran nearby. I was never afraid I wouldn't be able to do it and even got to push the 14 mile section I wanted to, not a ton, but enough to feel like I really "ran" the rim to rim to rim.
By mile 35 I had been through everything, I had lost my partner, my water, my solid food– but I gained the confidence I needed to carry forward and I took a chance that paid off because of luck. As I sat at Phantom Ranch the second time passing through, seven miles and 4700′ below the South Rim in post lunchtime sun, I wiped my salt covered face off with a wet handkerchief. Autumn's golden foliage flowed from side to side and I sat undisturbed at a drinking water spigot outside the ranch's canteen for nearly a half hour. Wow, I thought, it's nice to sit down for a moment and reflect at the actual lowpoint of this trip. I had almost totally crossed this huge feature on foot with the bare minimum and couldn't really complain about anything. It was all working out, just with some readjusted expectations. I was fast enough to get it done and slow enough to see it for an experience and not just an achievement, it was real and not just a blur.
With this in mind, I departed down trail to the Colorado River and stopped to observe portaging boats as they made their way to and through the beach at Bright Angel campground in the midst of their own three-week journeys through this magnificent feature — the same journey my river-loving friends were always bating me with. I thought about how still and tranquil it must have felt for them at times and how glad I was at the time to know my compressed journey was almost done and it was long before sunset. I was ready to head back to the world to friends and family.
Ascending out of the valley and up the South Kaibab's 4700′ trail winding through dreamscape and postcard views, I soaked up the last of my water, an 80 calorie espresso flavored gel and just plodded along on empty. In perfect light above wild steppes and crumbling mountainsides carved out of a vastness so immense, I could understand now that which can only be understood after 42.4 miles and 22,000′ of elevation change in a place. My expectations were totally vanquished, I couldn't help but revel in the sheer magnificence of this iconic National Park and at the same time still obsessively eyeball every 10th of a mile on my GPS watch until the end — about 54 in a row on the grueling return uphill. There is no way to come here and say it should be called, "pretty big canyon" or "yeah that's a nice canyon." This thing is the definition of Grand to the core. The running part, totally secondary.
The final four-tenths of a mile at the top were steep but Heather and Erich were there cheering as I approached the end of my first journey through the Grand Canyon. With sunken eyes and waning energy I was thankful for hearing their voices, the jug of water they handed me… and sitting down. Life comes from water, sharing a few sips and scanning the horizon for the last rays of the sun dappling the many features of the sterile and parched upper canyon, life indeed was coming back.

It has been a windy week out here in Phoenix, AZ this past week.
I have a few tricks that I have used that works only sometimes. I use an empty plastic water bottle and put my reference to outside hose inside and try to shield it as much as possible. This has not worked so well the past few days where we have had gusty winds over 20+ mph.
I am open for some input on this, as my calendar is now chaos from all of the rescheduling.
Views: 413
I don't have any magic to cancel out the wind, however, to help your schedule you can consider going ahead with the audit and return on a calm day to do the BD testing. Distance and other factors will determine when this is an option, but you are now seeing the chaos that repeated rescheduling can cause.
I'm in cold country and there are many cases where I need the cold or cold with no sun to give me the infrared images I want. When mother nature is not co-operating I tell the home owner that I may have to come by at 4 AM to do some testing. Often the wind calms down after dark as well. There are many services that are necessarily inconvenient and we should not hesitate to tell them, an energy audit can be one of them.
Glad to hear you are busy.
Thanks Bud.
When you see your baseline jump around like a grasshopper on a hotplate it might not be a good idea to test.
I listened to an online seminar once where it was suggested during windy conditions to multipoint test in both directions with no time averaging and results will be close.
I am not sure the risk outweighs the reward or visa versa. That would be a judgment call you need to make.
I like that grasshopper analogy, thanks for the feedback.
That was extremely helpful, thank you. I would do this method if time would allow, however I am usually performing three to four audits a day on average a 2000 sq ft home, I have rescheduled as needed but not without a valiant effort. I have tried the opposite side of home (opposite from wind direction) and had better results. I have also been doing all of the other tasks other than blower door testing and it has helped out a lot. Thanks again Don.
Colin at Retrotec has told me that you can't get any more accurate than a 120 second baseline and a 120 second time average blower door test, multi-point included.
However, bear in mind that the ASTM standard states 20 MPH as the upper limit, and RESNET has rules about using standard deviation tables to determine accuracy. So it depends on who you are reporting to - remember that we still use a 1989 version 62.2 that has not been supported for over 20 years.
Thanks Ed
I use a T on my outside hose and run hoses from each side of the T around either side of the house.
I did a bunch of row houses recently where I couldn't use this trick and found that just extending my outside hose well away from the house worked pretty well too.
The first method averages out the pressures on two sides of the house. Really to take this method to its full extent, I should be averaging all four sides but I find two sides works pretty well except on the windiest days.
The idea of the second method is to try to get away from the eddy effects of the house -i.e. high pressure on the windward side and low pressure on the leeward side.
I have found that trying to shield the end of the hose in a pop bottle or mailbox doesn't work either. I suspect that beer or whiskey bottles will not work either, but I haven't tried.

Rib fracture - aftercare
A rib fracture is a crack or break in 1 or more of your rib bones.
Your ribs are the round long bones in your chest that wrap around your upper body. They connect your breastbone to your spine.
More about Your Injury
A rib fracture can be very painful because your ribs move when you breathe, cough and move your upper body.
The ribs in the middle of your chest are the ones that break most often.
What to Expect
Healing lasts at least 6 weeks.
If you injure other body organs, you may need to stay in the hospital. Otherwise you can heal at home.Most people with a broken rib do not need surgery.
In the emergency room you may have received a strong medicine (such as a nerve block or narcotics) if you are in severe pain.
You will not have a belt or a bandage around your chest because these would keep your ribs from moving when you breathe or cough, and may lead to the development of pneumonia.
Pain Relief
Apply an ice pack 20 minutes of every hour you are awake for the first 2 days, then 10-20 minutes 3 times daily as needed to reduce pain and swelling.
You may need prescription pain medicines (narcotics) to keep your pain under control while your bones heal.
- Take these medicines on the schedule your health care provider prescribed.
- Do not drink alcohol, drive, or operate heavy machinery while you are taking these medicines.
- To avoid becoming constipated, drink more fluids, eat high-fiber foods, and use stool softeners.
- To avoid nausea or vomiting, try taking your pain medicines with food.
For pain, you can use ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). You can buy these pain medications at the store.
- These should be avoided for the first 24 hours after your injury since they may promote bleeding.
- Talk with your health care provider before using these medications if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, liver disease, or have had stomach ulcers or internal bleeding in the past.
- Do not take more than the amount recommended on the bottle or by your health care provider.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may also be used for pain by most people
Do slow deep-breathing and gentle coughing exercises every 2 hours. Holding a pillow or blanket against your injured rib can make these less painful.
- These exercises to help prevent a collapsed lung or a lung infection.
- You may need to take your pain medicines beforehand
It is important to stay active. Bed rest is not recommended. Your health care provider will talk with you about when you can return to:
- Your everyday activities
- Work, which will depend on the type of job you have;
- Sports or other high impact activity.
While you heal, avoid movements that put painful pressure on your ribs. These include crunches, pushing or pulling heavy objects, and others.
Your health care provider will make sure you are doing your exercises and that your pain is under control so that you can be active.
There is usually no need for taking x-rays as you heal, unless you develop fever, cough, increasing pain or difficulty breathing.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your health care provider if you have:
- Pain that does not allow deep breathing or coughing
- Fever
- Cough or increase in mucous that you cough up
- Shortness of breath
- Side effects of pain medicine such as nausea, vomiting, skin rashes

LAS VEGAS -- The National Bulk Vendors Association is once again mobilizing to raise funds for its new scholarship program. With a goal of awarding $10,000 in scholarships this year, the NBVA is planning its second annual raffle for its upcoming convention and trade show in Las Vegas, March 20-22.
NBVA said tickets for the raffle will be available at its booth during the Amusement Expo, which hosts the bulk vending exhibition at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The drawing will likely take place during the NBVA's membership gala on March 21 (ticket holders do not have to be present to win).
The $5 tickets provide the chance to not only win highly desirable prizes, ranging from bulk vending machines to consumer electronics, but they will also benefit the education of deserving young people.
This year's raffle will take the form of a "tricky tray," which allows participants to choose items they wish to win at the time of purchasing tickets. "This concept is more flexible than our previous year's raffle," said NBVA scholarship chairman Leonard Daitch of Sweet City (Walled Lake, MI). "The committee received input from members and they asked for the change. The raffle was well received last year and we are making it even better."
Here's a list of donors and prizes, to date:
Beaver » Meridian vending machine
Brand Vending » Merchandise assortment
Vendynamics » 500 custom labels
Top Notch Toys » 4-col. sticker machine with 4 boxes of stickers, AcuCount 603 money scale
SSM Vending » Coach purse
Flatline Corp. » Hybrid redemption or bulk/flat vend starter kit
ParSal Vending » All American Chicken Machine
Northwestern » 5-head bulk vending rack
Toy Barn » $150 piece plush pre-pack
Cardinal » $500 worth of merchandise
Peek a Boo Toys » 50-piece jumbo prepack
Sureshot » Android 4.1" touchscreen tablet
Rick's Vending » San Francisco 49ers sweatshirt, Pittsburgh Steelers jacket

Arizona Women's Education & Employment (AWEE) has been awarded a $255,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Labor to continue funding job training and support services for homeless and formerly incarcerated veterans in Arizona.
The grant is one of 90 totaling more than $20 million awarded through the Department of Labor's Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP). AWEE is one of three Arizona nonprofit organizations receiving grants along with U.S. Vets Initiative of Phoenix ($250,000) and The Primavera Foundation, Inc. of Tucson ($200,000).
"Americans who have served their country should not find themselves without a home," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The grants will help these heroes find good jobs and take us one step closer to the goal of ending veteran homelessness altogether."
HVRP grants provide occupational, classroom and on-the-job training, as well as job search and placement assistance, including follow-up services. Grantees are expected to maximize available assistance and find good jobs for veterans by coordinating efforts and resources with the U.S. departments of Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services, as well as other national, state and local agencies in accordance with the VA's five-year plan to end homelessness for veterans and their families.
"Assisting veterans to find and keep jobs, particularly those who may face significant barriers for employment, is among our most-important services," said AWEE President and CEO Marie Sullivan. "This grant will enable AWEE to expand our reach and our program outcomes for this historically underserved but vital population of women and men."

Chelsea Oswald Named SEC McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of Year
April 5, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Chelsea Oswald has been named 2012-13 Southeastern Conference H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Commissioner Mike Slive announced Friday.
Oswald is the first-ever women's recipient from Kentucky. Wildcat football player Jeff Zurcher earned the award in 1999.
The honorees were chosen by a committee of Faculty Athletics Representatives from SEC universities and both will receive a $15,000 post-graduate scholarship, provided by AT&T, an SEC Corporate Champion sponsor, and the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
"I am extremely grateful for the recognition of this award because I am sure that every other nominee was as capable of winning," Oswald said. "This award recognizes not only my achievements, but also all the great people who have helped me along the way. I truly would not have been able to do this without the help of the whole University of Kentucky including my coaches, teammates and family.
"I have been given such a great opportunity here at UK, and I've just tried my hardest every day to make the most of it. A sincere thank you to all."
Alabama Football player Barrett Jones was the men's recipient of the award.
"I couldn't be prouder of the year Chelsea has had so far," UK track and field and cross country head coach Edrick Floreal said. "The best is still yet to come. These sorts of awards are the byproduct of early morning workouts and late night study sessions.
"She is the model for what we want to instill from every member of our team."
Oswald was the recipient of the 2013 NCAA Elite 89 Award for NCAA Indoor Track and Field, which is awarded to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each NCAA Championship.
She is expected to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology in May 2013 and a Bachelor of Science in psychology in June 2014. Oswald holds a perfect 4.0 grade point average.
Oswald is a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll, the Athletics Director's Honor Roll and the Dean's List each semester of her collegiate career. She is a NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship recipient as well as a nominee for the 2013 NCAA Walter Byers Scholarship.
Oswald has been honored as a 2012 U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-American in cross country and was also a first-team All-SEC recipient after a third-place finish at the 2012 SEC Cross Country Championships. She also earned 2013 USTFCCCA Indoor Track and Field All-America honors in the 3,000 meters and the distance medley relay. She was also a 2012 USTFCCCA cross country All-Academic honoree.
Oswald is an 2013 inductee to the prestigious UK Frank G. Ham Society of Character and is a UK Student-Athlete Advisory Committee officer. She is active in the community, volunteering with a number of organizations including Operation Homes, the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign, the Soles for Souls shoe drive, God's Pantry Meat Packing, the North East Ohio Cross Country Camp and the Hope Lodge Christmas Ceremony.
A member of the UK Pre-Physical Therapy Student Association and the UK Pre-Dental Student Association, Oswald is a volunteer at UK Health Care Sports Medicine and is a Chemistry Excel Teaching Assistant.
"The commitment and dedication that Barrett and Chelsea embody make them excellent selections for the SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award," Slive said. "They have achieved success at the highest levels in their sport, the classroom and in the community. Barrett and Chelsea are outstanding representatives of their institutions and the SEC."
The McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award is being released in advance of Saturday's National Student-Athlete Day, which was created in 1987 by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) and Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society, and presented by the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
National Student-Athlete Day is held each April 6 to celebrate outstanding student-athletes who have achieved excellence in academics and athletics while having made significant contributions to the community. It is also a time to recognize those parents, teachers, coaches and school systems which make it possible for young people to find the balance between academics and athletics.
The 13 other male recipients are: Dylan Breeding, Arkansas (football); Ashton Richardson, Auburn (football); Max Lang, Florida (track and field); Ty Frix, Georgia (football); Morgan Newton, Kentucky (football); Joseph Caraway, LSU (track and field); Adrian Forberg Skogeng, Ole Miss (tennis); Sam Frost, Mississippi State (baseball); Nathan McCormick, Missouri (wrestling); LB Dantzler, South Carolina (baseball); Brent Sterling, Tennessee (diving); Case Cochran, Texas A&M (golf); Richard Kent, Vanderbilt (football).
The 13 other female recipients are: Kayla Braud, Alabama (softball); Hope McLemore, Arkansas (softball); Blanche Alverson, Auburn (basketball); Betsy Smith, Florida (volleyball); Shayla Worley, Georgia (gymnastics); Madie Jones, LSU (volleyball); Neal Tisher, Ole Miss (track and field); Stephanie Becker, Mississippi State (softball); Allison Hu, Missouri (soccer); Whitney Avers, South Carolina (Swimming); Jasmine Brown, Tennessee (volleyball); Lindsey Miller, Texas A&M (volleyball); Gabby Smith, Vanderbilt (basketball).
The SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Awards were first presented in 1986. They were renamed the SEC H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in May 1990 to honor the former commissioner who served the conference from 1972-86.

Little things, lately
Nails that match the flowers in my garden
Meeting a spotty little friend
Sweet (and spicy) delights from my vegetable patch
Black and white films, especially ones that feature Marilyn
Finding a cool new app. This one's called CamWow.
And in other news, Stu and I found ourselves a beautiful little puppy! We met her for the first time at the breeder on Sunday and fell madly deeply in love. We are bringing her home in a couple of weeks. We have been looking for our perfect puppy for over a year now and finally, we found one ticks all our boxes. I'm not going to share too much details because I am terribly terribly afraid of jinxing it. You'll just have to keep guessing for a little while.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Bills seeking to place a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in California are receiving their first public hearing in a packed committee room.
The Assembly Natural Resources Committee is hearing testimony Monday on three bills that would temporarily prohibit fracking. The drilling technique involves blasting water, sand and chemicals into deep rock formations to release oil or natural gas.
The bills call for an advisory committee to review health effects and for lawmakers to approve rules for how fracking can occur. All three bills are carried by Los Angeles-area Democrats.
Fracking has drawn scrutiny as drilling companies look to expand production from one of the country's largest shale oil formations.
State environmental regulators are crafting new rules, but they are not expected to be made final until next year.

Sylvester Stallone Gossip
Sylvester Stallone gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
Welcome back to those of you who were off yesterday for American Thanksgiving. I was here when you were eating turkey! Please scroll down to get caught up on yesterday's blog. I love it when awards season gives us a sentimental favourite. Read Full Intro
The Creed era
Wenn, JB Lacroix/ Todd Williamson/ Getty Images
Creed opens on Wednesday just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday box office in the United States. The early reviews are solid. Actually, more than solid. Some are saying this is the best installment in the Rocky franchise since the original. Um. EXCUSE ME. Better than Rocky IV? When Rocky punched out Communism? As I've written, many, many times already, Rocky IV is my favourite. Full Story
Smutty Roundup: Michael B & Sly, Allison, and January's hair
Wenn, David Livingston/ Araya Diaz/ Jason LaVeris/ Dimitrios Kambouris/ Robin Marchant/ Getty Images
Michael B Jordan and Sly Stallone are in Philadelphia shooting Creed. It's another Rocky movie. Except… wait for it… this time Rocky's training Apollo Creed's son, played by Jordan. Um. I totally want to see this movie. Allison Williams was at the Michael Kors presentation at NY Fashion Week today, I think her first public appearance since it all went to sh-t with her dad. Full Story
Macho Man Boy Sh-t
Girl Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t. And Boy Sh-t Is The Best Sh-t… No matter the age. Even if it's middle age. Or senior citizens. Sylvester Stallone is 67. Can we call him a senior citizen? Sly and Bruce Willis worked together on the two Expendables. I've not seen either one but I will assume that there are guns and explosions and a lot of one liners like, "Look at my dick attached to my AK47". Full Story
What's red and swirly and douchy all over?
Lainey's teeth must be in some bad shape cause I still haven't heard from her and it's been almost two hours. Ouch. So here's a little something for you. I couldn't resist. Check out Stallone in his Ford Douchstang today in Beverly Hills. I had to do a double-take and read the credits twice to make sure he wasn't filming a sequel to A Night at the Roxbury. Full Story

This one time, my friend Nidhi and I walked for 45 minutes in search of a bar where we could hang, talk and bitch out the boys. We had to resort to a popular bar in a 5 star hotel by the beach. Almost a year later, I heard of Vinoteca by Sula opening at Worli. I was jumping with joy. Not only are the Sula Vineyards quickly becoming my favourite weekend getaway but also we single girls in the city now have a bar to go to.
I'm not really into alcohol. When I make drinking plans, it is understood that I will be sipping on wine (white or rosé) and those accompanying me will be washing down whiskey, rum or vodka as they please. And that's another reason Vinoteca is the perfect option for me. A selection of wines I'm way too familiar with and a variety of Spanish food. Couldn't get better.
We sampled practically all the vegetarian food on the menu. Of course, we began our meal with the famous patatas bravas. You might remember me telling you about my friend's love for potato wedges. A tapa of patatas bravas brought a huge smile to her face. The portion size was quite good too. We were munching on it right till the end.
The pintxos menu changes everyday. When we went, we were treated to 2 kinds. One was a mushroom variety and the other was a tomato based sauce laden with feta cheese. We were quite happy with the melting cheese and tomato pintxo and actually ordered a repeat.
The aubergine dressed dish could be treated as a main. Served on a large-ish platter, it's filled with all things nice. Really healthy too! The flavours of the different vegetables just burst in your mouth and the aubergine layer acts as a buffer. Must try!
My non-vegetarian eating friend was rather pleased with all that she was presented. Trigger happy too, Sanjana clicked all the pictures for this post. Aren't you surprised at how 3 girls could finish all the food on the table? Needless to say, we were stuffed!
But I have to tell you about the dessert. Unlike the other items that were announced to us before they were brought, the desserts were meant to be a surprise. And a pleasant one it was. 4 in total, we tried the ice-creams made of wine, chocolate balls and chocolate coffee tart. My favourite was the Sula Zinfandel Blush ice-cream. It had the flavour of wine but melted in my mouth like ice-cream. How perfect? The chocolate coffee tart also pleased my taste buds. The coffee flavour was only an essence, not too strong, adding to the overall chocolate goodness.
Having sampled the food, the wine and got a feel of the place, I can easily say Vinoteca by Sula is perfect for a night out on the town with the girls. The interiors are minimalistic, the focus is on the drinks, the al fresco setting is just what the city needs and the bite sized food is what the chef ordered. Stop by after work and it'll be a scene straight out of Sex And The City. Let me know your thoughts when you go. 🙂

Gulf of Mexico and East Coast Carbon CruiseJuly 27, 2007
Chris Fairall of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, is collaborating with researchers at the University of Colorado and Columbia University to perform research on direct measurements of air-sea gas transfer forcing and measurements of CO2 and ozone flux by eddy correlation. These measurements will be taken as part of the Gulf of Mexico and East Coast Carbon Cruise (GEOMECC) aboard the NOAA ship RONALD H. BROWN. The cruise will operate in the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Coast of the U.S. starting in Galveston, TX on July 10, and ending in Boston, MA on August 4, and is a comprehensive survey of inorganic carbon, nutrients and other biogeochemical parameters.
The GEOMECC research cruise is being implemented in support of the North American Carbon Program (NACP) and is supported by the NOAA/OAR and the NOAA GCC (Global Carbon Cycle) programs. The major objective is the determination of air-sea carbon dioxide fluxes in North American coastal regions. The NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) is the lead institution for the cruise. Nine U.S. universities are also participating.
The global carbon budget is a key factor in the rate of increase of CO2 in the atmosphere and subsequent effects on the Earth's temperature. The oceans are estimated to take up about 30% of the carbon emitted by fossil fuel burning, but the processes that control that uptake are still poorly understood. Air-sea gas transfer is a critical component in the overall budget. The coastal oceans are hypothesized to be more intense consumers of atmospheric CO2 but there is little observational evidence to support this. This study will increase our understanding of the controls of air-sea fluxes of atmospheric trace gases in particular that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
