On Philistina
Reader comment on item: Profs Who Hate America
Submitted by Allen Smith (United States), Dec 8, 2012 at 15:05
The Palestinians are not Philistines, they were not a people ever. There is and has never been a culture, language or tradition of Palestine. The Romans named the area Philistina as an insult to the Jews and for no other reason than that.
You can argue this point for eternity but the fact remains that every modern country in the world is an amalgam of conquered or absorbed people. To ignore this is pure sophistry and in the case of those that now call themselves Palestinians it is even worse as the Arab world uses their own cast off peoples to defame a people that has not openly attacked a bordering country in more than 2500 years.

Glass Verandas
Add stylish extra space to your home quickly and easily with one of the many variations of glass verandas Samson Awnings have to offer. Contemporary styling with the highest quality aluminium sections combined with glass panels to give the roof a permanent all year round alfresco living area to enjoy your evenings in style.
'Enjoy your garden and patio area, whatever the weather'
Correctly specified and installed any one of our glass veranda systems can offer very real protection from our very changeable UK weather, something an awning can only offer with serious limitations. The widths and projections available are incredible, with projections from a wall up to 6 metres and widths almost limitless.
Our glass veranda systems, either the Samson G6 or the Weinor Terrazza, can also have permanent, folding or sliding glass doors and front sections to offer the ultimate protection and outdoor space in the form of a 'glass room' or 'winter garden room' as they are generally known in Northern Europe, however the name should not be taken too literally as they are definitely for all year round use.
A glass veranda will extend the UK summer season by daytime and allow a more comfortable use of your patio and garden area in the evenings especially when used with appropriate lighting and heating systems. Awnings can also be used to truly help keep the sun at bay, and for more information, click here.
Stay outdoors for longer using infrared halogen heating and low voltage spotlights making the use of our Glass Verandas as a permanent and comfortable extension to the living space of your home. You truly are mixing the outdoors with the indoors to give yourself a beautiful area to spend a lot of time with friends and family or just relaxing by yourself.
See the Samson G6 Glass Veranda
Ideal for all types of entertaining or relaxing, guests can venture out onto your patio even on a rainy summer evening and remain warm. During the day if the sun becomes too strong, open out the built in conservatory awning to control the amount of sunlight entering and control the temperature too, as well as opening the sides and the front for ventilation, something very difficult to do with the average conservatory.
Enhance your outdoor space further with Millboard Decking.
See our Glass Veranda gallery of images >
The range of built in awnings available for our veranda systems give ultimate flexibility in specification all dependent on your requirements and the position of the veranda. Usually positioned under your Glass Veranda roof the built in awning system will remain pristine throughout its life, protected from weathering, debris or pooling rain water. Even after years of use your Glass Verandas fabric will not become stained, weathered or dirty.
Systems can be specified externally if required and fabrics are produced to cope with external mounting. A choice of over 140 fabrics are available and optional side screens can also be used for further control of the micro climate inside as well as privacy if required.
There are a wide range of electronic weather sensors for all motor-driven awnings:
A sun sensor, a sun and wind sensor or a sun, wind and rain sensor. Depending on the version, they automatically open the awning in the sun and retract it in the wind and protection and safety, even when you are not at home for total control with minimum effort. Timers and thermostats can also be specified for controlling your awnings.
See the Terrazza Glass Roof System
All our glass verandas are constructed from high quality aluminium sections with integrated rainwater guttering and downpipes and ultimate flexibility in shape and design making the most of an area you may well thought was not possible to cover. Installation is generally a simple process with no major building work ever required and installation usually complete in 2 or 3 days (depending on size). No foundations are generally required for any of the glass verandas, only single points of support are required and they can even be bolted down to a suitable surface reducing disturbance during installation to an absolute minimum.
Start to really enjoy your home all year round and your wonderful garden and patio outdoor area in style with a glass veranda system from Samson Awnings. A fantastic investment into any home providing extra space and in most cases planning permission is not required as this system does not require traditional building foundation work.

DALY CITY, Calif. - Golfer Scott Travers produced a solid round of golf Wednesday morning as he defeated George Gandranata by five strokes to advance to the Round of 16 of the 98th Annual California State Amateur Championships at Lake Merced GC in Daly City. Travers will tee off on Thursday, June 25 at 8:20 a.m. against Kevin Fryer.
The Trabuco Canyon, Calif. native held the advantage from the second hole to the 14th, where the match was called. By the 10th hole, which he eagled, Travers had earned a five-stroke lead and continue to hold that same lead for the next four holes. The par through 14 holes was 56. Travers finished five-under 51 while Gandranata ended even-56.
Fryer, a 34-year-old from San Ramon, tied for 24th during stroke play at one-over 145 and defeated Tyler Crawford by two strokes. Fryer and Crawford were tied through the first two holes at even par but with a birdie Crawford took the lead. However, Fryer only allowed Crawford to get ahead of him by two strokes. Fryer rallied to even the playing field in the 10th and 12th holes, and then took a one stroke lead at the 13th and never looked back.
The road to the championship then continues with the Quarter- and Semifinals on Friday, June 26. The final two amateurs will then fight for the California State Championship on Saturday, June 27.

Products by application sector
Here we have put all products according to their most used application. Some products have only one clear application, but most do have several different fields of application or are used in complete different industries. So it is very well possible you will find one and the same product named in different industries.
Please let us know if you can not find the one you may be looking for in particular.
Methylene chloride (also known as dichloromethane) is an organic halogen compound with the molecular formula of CH2Cl2. It is colourless liquid with a distinctive chloroform odour that is widely used as a solvent in paint strippers and degreasing. This product is a non-flammable liquid, having no measurable flashpoint or flammable limits in air. It is miscible with most organic solvents but only slightly miscible in water.
Methylene chloride is mostly used as a solvent for paint stripper, varnish removal, aerosol spray repellent and degreasing. It is an effective solvent because of its highly volatility and stability. It is also used in the processing of plastics, extracting fats and oils from food products. For example, it can be used to decaffeinate coffee/tea and to prepare hops. Methylene chloride can weld certain plastics and is therefore used in the model-making industry. One final example of its use is in the garment printing industry for the removal of heat-sealed transfers. The main user end markets are the paints, varnish, plastics, cosmetics and textiles industries.

Why do your eyes shun me. And why does your presence paralyse me. Why don't you
Look back on those days. Losing myself inside my heart you die with me. And with the
Pain of longing the flower of passion has withered. The search for sensuality lost in disappointment. Fallen because of
Worries and caught by depressions. Despair is my
Companion. The heardsman of my suffering. And here are some words for you. I don't
Want to love you anymore. I search my heart hoping not to find you. Love just a satisfying word. Just a lie. These
Moments will pass bye. Goodbye.

> Washington
Washington Redskins
Washington Redskins, professional football
team and one of five teams in the Eastern
Division of the National Football Conference
(NFC) of the National Football League (NFL).
The Redskins play at FedEx Field in
Landover, Maryland, and wear uniforms of
burgundy, gold, and white. In professional
football's early days, Washington was one of
the game's most powerful clubs, capturing
two league crowns and posting ten
consecutive winning records from 1936 to
1945. Leading the Redskins' high-scoring
offense were two-time rushing champion Cliff
Battles and six-time passing champion Sammy
Baugh—both eventual Hall of Fame members.
The Redskins consistently fielded potent
teams from 1971 to 1992, reaching the
playoffs 13 times, competing in five Super
Bowls, and winning three of them during that
period. Washington's many stars included
safety Ken Houston, quarterbacks Sonny
Jurgensen and Joe Theismann, wide receivers
Art Monk and Charley Taylor, and running
back John Riggins. George Preston Marshall
founded the Redskins franchise in 1932 in
Boston, Massachusetts, as the Boston Braves,
sharing Braves Field with the Boston Braves
baseball team. A year later, Marshall moved
his team to Fenway Park and changed the
team's name to the Redskins. The Redskins
were not profitable, and even an Eastern
Division championship in 1936 failed to
excite Boston fans, so in 1937 Marshall
moved the club to Washington, D.C. The team
found success in its new home. From 1936 to
1942 head coach Ray Flaherty led the
Redskins to seven consecutive winning
records and three appearances in the NFL
Championship Game. Washington faced the
Chicago Bears in all three contests, posting
narrow victories in 1937 and 1942 and
suffering a 73-0 defeat in 1940. During the
1937 title match Flaherty introduced the
screen pass. In such a pass, the offensive
linemen run downfield in front of the
running back instead of blocking for the
quarterback. The quarterback then throws a
short pass to the running back and the
linemen form a screen, blocking downfield to
gain yardage. This strategy has since become
a standard offensive play. Flaherty's
talented offensive unit boasted four future
Hall of Fame members—halfback Cliff Battles,
quarterback Sammy Baugh, tackle Turk
Edwards, and end Wayne Millner. In addition
to his six passing crowns, the versatile
Baugh also led the league in punting five
times and interceptions once. His career
punting average of 45.1 yards is the highest
ever compiled in NFL history. The Redskins
suffered a 25-season playoff drought from
1946 through 1970, posting just four winning
records and changing head coaches 11 times
during that span. Noteworthy individual
achievements during this period included
wide receiver Bobby Mitchell's yardage
championships in 1962 and 1963 and
league-leading performances in 1966 and 1967
by quarterback Sonny Jurgensen and wide
receiver Charley Taylor. In 1971 former Los
Angeles Rams coach George Allen took over as
head coach of the Redskins. He dramatically
reshaped the team through a series of trades
for seasoned veteran players. The retooled
Redskins, known as the Over the Hill Gang,
recorded nine victories, the most by a
Washington team in 29 years. In his seven
seasons with the club, Allen produced seven
winning records, five playoff appearances,
and one trip to the Super Bowl. Washington's
Super Bowl appearance was in 1973, when the
Miami Dolphins defeated them 14-7. The team
remained successful throughout the 1970s,
and in 1976 Allen traded for the rights of
two players who would be the key to
Washington's success in the 1980s—Joe
Theismann and John Riggins. In 1981 former
San Diego Chargers assistant coach Joe Gibbs
was hired to improve the Redskins' passing
game. In his 12 seasons as Washington's head
coach, Gibbs delivered ten winning records,
eight playoff appearances, and three Super
Bowl championships. Gibbs earned his first
league crown following the strike-shortened
season of 1982, during which Theismann led
the conference in passing and the Redskins
fielded the league's toughest defense.
Washington defeated Miami 27-17 in the Super
Bowl, led by Riggins's Super Bowl-record 166
rushing yards. During the mid-1980s the
Redskins dominated the NFC. They were led by
Theismann until a broken leg sustained
during a 1985 game forced his retirement.
Washington's defense emerged as one of the
finest in the NFL, led by ends Dexter Manley
and Charles Mann. The defense was especially
key in the 1987 season, when the Redskins
finished the year with an 11-4 win-loss
record and defeated the Denver Broncos 42-10
in the Super Bowl. In 1991 Gibbs assembled
one of the most explosive offensive units in
NFL history. Quarterback Mark Rypien led the
NFC in yardage, and running back Earnest
Byner and wide receivers Gary Clark and Art
Monk each topped the 1,000-yard mark for the
season. Washington also fielded the
second-toughest defensive unit in the
league. After the season the Redskins routed
the Buffalo Bills 37-24 in the Super Bowl.
Gibbs left the Redskins following the 1992
season and was replaced by assistant Richie
Petitbone. After a year, Petitbone was
replaced by former Dallas Cowboys offensive
coordinator Norv Turner. The Redskins were
one of the weaker teams in the league for
much of the mid- and late 1990s, but they
rebounded in 1999 and won their division.

Kevin Kolb got the start for the Bills against the Redskins on Saturday afternoon and the absence of E.J. Manuel in the lineup had things set up for Kolb to play a lot and make his best case for the starting quarterback job.
His day appears to have come to an early end. Jeff Tuel was in at quarterback for the third offensive series of the game with Kolb off the field. The Bills' television broadcast reports that Kolb is being evaluated for a head injury after taking a knee to the head at the end of a run.
Kolb's brief appearance in the game showed pretty much the same Kolb we've grown accustomed to over the years. He was a bit too quick to run out of the pocket, leading to one sack and one scramble for a first down, and the Bills kept most of the passes on the shorter side, although T.J. Graham was interfered with on the one shot that Buffalo took down the field. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't particularly inspiring either.
Tuel has done well in the preseason thus far, so the team gets a chance a look at him with starters in order to see how he fares with the first string. That issue might be one of great importance given the health of the team's other two options.
UPDATE 5:48 p.m. ET: The Bills have ruled Kolb out for the rest of the day with "concussion-like symptoms." Kolb missed the final month of the 2011 season in Arizona because of a concussion.
The Bills are likely going to have to go shopping for a quarterback in the next few days with Manuel still recovering from knee surgery. The list of available options includes former Bill Tyler Thigpen, Matt Leinart and JaMarcus Russell.

G4 orders 'Hurt Locker'-inspired reality show
EXCLUSIVE: 'Bomb Patrol' to go behind scenes of naval unitG4 has ordered a high-stakes reality show that follows a bomb-disposal squad in Afghanistan.
Billed as a real-life version of Oscar-winning film "The Hurt Locker," the Comcast-owned cable channel has ordered 10 one-hour episodes of "Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan."
The show will take viewers behind the scenes of a U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit, starting with training sessions in the States and then during its deployment for several months in Afghan¬istan.
"There is simply no way to comprehend the incredible amount of pressure and split-second decisionmaking these individuals must undertake in the worst possible physical conditions without riding along with them as our cameras will do," G4 president Neal Tiles said. "This is a rare opportunity to showcase the work of the courageous men and women on the front lines and share with our viewers all the real-life drama, teamwork, danger and triumph that goes along with this specialized job."
Although "Bomb Patrol" is on brand for G4, it also represents a bit of a departure.
The show squarely appeals to the network's young-male demographic, combining technology and good old-fashioned blowing stuff up. But the serious tone and life-and-death stakes are new for the network best known for such lighter fare as "Attack of the Show" and "Ninja Warrior." The "Cops"-style reality show "Campus PD" comes closest, but arresting intoxicated college students is a far cry from dismantling bombs.
Tiles, who counts "Hurt Locker" as his favorite film last year, said the network's young-male brand gives license to explore many genres. But he added that G4 isn't making a hard lunge into the "deadliest jobs" territory that has characterized trends at Discovery Channel and other networks.
"We've always said the young- male demo has extremely varied interests," Tiles said. "Both G4 and the Navy like this for the same reason: It appeals to the tech side of G4's demographic."
The show will be produced by Big Fish Entertainment with Doug DePriest and Dan Cesareo executive producing. The production has a special agreement with the Navy to shoot "Bomb Patrol," but the network said the military will not have creative control.
The series will premiere in the spring.

Possible papers for Boston:
1. Raising the category of 'creation' in Sankara with the help of De Smet and Lonergan.
2. Studying the contrast between traditional organically related hierarchical societies and modern societies - democracies among them - based on an atomic conception of the individual. Which is more respectful of persons? The former vibes well with an organic notion of the person as intrinsically social; the latter, as we have said, presupposes the atomic individual, such that society has to be a construct. Gandhi opted for the former (see the brilliant articles of Howards and Swanger in the last 3 issues of Divyadaan), while Ambedkar clearly opted for the latter as alone destroying the caste system (very much a hierarchical traditional system) and ensuring liberty, equality, fraternity.
3. Economics. What is Lonergan saying? is that pertinent to the global crash that we now seem to be slowly getting out of? what explanations?

Baked Salmon with Cucumber Dill Sauce
The Illustrated Kitchen Bible
Published by Dorling Kindersley
Editor's Note: This is a terrific dish to bring for a summer picnic or eat for dinner. It is light and flaky. The dill and cucumber sauce is especially refreshing on a warm, sunny day, bringing lots of flavor to remind you of summer and all of the outdoor aromas that satisfy your love of the outdoors. You can bake the salmon to your liking, but highly suggest you keep an eye on it and make an effort not to overcook. The sauce is what brings this dish to life. The delightful dill and cucumber bits mixed into the sour cream make a world of difference in selling this delightful piece of salmon to you on a warm summer night.
Equally good with salmon steaks or fillets, this light dish is quickly prepared.
Makes4 servings
Preparation Time10 min
Cooking Time10 min
Cooking MethodBaking
OccasionCasual Dinner Party, Family Get-together
Recipe CourseMain Course
MealDinner, Lunch
Taste and TextureCreamy, Herby, Tangy
- ½ cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
- Salt
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp chopped dill or mint
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 skinless salmon fillets, about 6 oz (175g) each
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
To make the sauce, toss the cucumber with ½ tsp salt in a sieve and let stand to drain for 1 hour. Rinse with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Mix the cucumber, yogurt, mustard, scallion, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the salmon in an oiled shallow baking dish. Brush with oil, sprinkle with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for 8–10 minutes, until the salmon is opaque when pierced with the tip of a knife. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the salmon to dinner plates. Stir the pan juices into the cucumber sauce. Spoon the sauce over the salmon. Serve hot.
Good with buttered new potatoes and steamed asparagus.
The sauce can also be covered and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead.
Salmon Pasta: To make a quick pasta salad, leftover salmon and sauce can be tossed with cooked pasta and refrigerated.

Manager: Jim Caudill
Title: Maintenance manager
Fleet: AJP Corp., Goshen, IN
Operation: Private bulk carrier
The high price of diesel fuel is exacting an inordinately heavy toll on small fleets, especially if they have the high idling requirements of an operation like AJP Corp.
"Our drivers pull large vacuum pneumatic trailers that carry plastic pellets and [have to] idle their tractor engines almost 45% of the day since they need to operate a PTO when loading," says Jim Caudill, maintenance manager for the private fleet arm of plastics producer Brunk Corp.
In addition to the vacuum pneumatic trailers, the fleet's 22 tractors pull dry vans, hauling everything from plastic pellets and calcium chloride for snow removal or dust- suppression work to paper and lumber products.
Routes vary tremendously, from 200-mi./day pickup-and-delivery runs to 2,500-mi./week longhaul runs. And since AJP's trade cycle is about eight to ten years, good fuel economy over the life of the vehicle is especially important.
"Saving every penny we can is our motto," says Caudill. "We'll do anything we can to improve fuel economy."
An article about a truck- stop chain that heated fuel before it was delivered — resulting in complaints from drivers about vehicle performance — led technicians at AJP to think about the impact of temperature on fuel economy. They realized that both outside air temperature and the engine-fuel return could transfer heat to the tank.
By monitoring fuel tank temperatures, "we learned that as fuel gets warmer, its efficiency drops; as it cools down, fuel economy improves," says Caudill. "We found that our fuel temperatures reached 110°F to 140°F. in the summer. Since optimum temperature is around 70°F, we thought we could really see some fuel economy benefits if we could cool our fuel down," he adds.
The fleet tried a variety of aftermarket fuel cooling systems, but was disappointed with the results. Since most of them used coolant to lower fuel temperature as it comes off the engine, AJP decided to develop a system that cooled the fuel as it left the tank.
Their method uses "separate radiant coolers to radiate the heat off" and also forces air through the cooler, "to get an even greater temperature drop," Caudill explains.
Bingo. The new system yielded a 10%-15% improvement in fuel economy. "Improving fuel efficiency by 10% across-the-board for our fleet is a big deal, since we ran over one-million miles last year," Caudill points out. "[The system] also adds negligible weight to our trucks, so we're not losing anything by [using it]."
The fuel-cooling system works equally well on old and new systems, which is especially important for a fleet with a trade-cycle like AJP's. "Our older trucks get just as good fuel mileage as the newer ones, ranging between 5.8 mpg into the lower 6's. That's a huge benefit to us and we hope to improve it even further."

The Colonie Continues to Grow, Promotes Brian Salazar to Editor
Last Updated: July 14, 2014 10:00 pm GMT
(Chicago, Illinois--July 14, 2014) The Colonie, one of Chicago's top providers of creative editorial, finishing and motion design services for advertising, has promoted Brian Salazar to editor.
Brian Salazar
The latest example of
The Colonie
's penchant for developing creative talent from within, Salazar began his career as an intern with the company in 2008. Having honed his skills as an assistant to editor and partner Bob Ackerman, he began making the transition to editor in 2010, cutting spots and other media for such brands as Levi's, ConAgra, Kellogg's and Pacific Gas and Electric. His latest work includes a series of web videos for ComEd's "Coolest Summer Ever Forever" promotion debuting this month. He collaborated on that project with a creative team from Leo Burnett.
Salazar has proven his editorial chops, says Ackerman, and brings a different perspective to The Colonie's creative team. "Brian impresses me with his fresh and youthful approach to the craft of editing," Ackerman says. "He often sees things form a perspective that I don't have, but when I see the end result I am blown away."
"The Colonie has been fortunate to grow and expand quickly," Ackerman adds. "We have talented people like Brian to thank, in part, for that growth."
After assisting Ackerman on campaigns for Dockers, Hallmark and many other accounts, Salazar got his first chance to cut on a 2010 in-store project for Dockers and Draft FCB, San Francisco. Shortly thereafter, he cut his first broadcast ad, a spot titled Big Sleep that was also for Dockers and Draft FCB. It debuted during pre-game programming for the 2011 Super Bowl. "I like cutting comedy," Salazar says. "I love storytelling and tugging at the heart-strings, as well."
Ackerman believes Salazar will have an opportunity to edit a lot of projects in all those genres. "I think Brian will become a cornerstone of the post industry in Chicago," he says. "He has so much exuberance and excitement. He's always learning and growing and he brings that to each and every job."

At least 30 people were injured Thursday after a portion of a two-story detached garage in a Houston-area residential neighborhood collapsed.
More than 100 people were inside the garage at the time of the collapse, which happened around 1:30 p.m. in Katy, the Houston Chronicle reported. Some of the people were on the second floor when the first-floor ceiling gave way, the paper said.
The collapse occurred at what the Chronicle said was a religious event.
No life-threatening injuries were immediately reported, and most of those hurt suffered cuts and bruises, authorities said. But at least one person suffered a head injury, and six of the injured included children.
Authorities said several people held up beams to allow rescue workers to reach a few people who were trapped underneath.

Is John Henderson Ready For a Comeback?July 28, 2009
The past two seasons have been rough for Big John Henderson; even during the Jags magical 2007 season his performance on the field slipped considerably from his Pro-Bowl years.
In 2005 and 2006 combined, Henderson compiled 121 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and a whopping 13 passes knocked down. The past two seasons his totals are 82 tackles, 4 sacks, and a measly 5 knocked down passes.
For the record, I'm not a statistics guy. Nevertheless, the contribution Henderson has made the past two seasons has been marginal, at best. The most memorable point of the season came in week 5, against the Steelers. The Jaguars were in a tight game with Pittsburgh (aren't they all?). Ben Roethlisberger dropped back to pass and got hammered by Henderson. The crowd went wild, but the cheers turned to silence when Big Ben threw Big John to the ground as if he was Doug Flutie.
This would not have happened to the John Henderson of a few years ago.
Big John says his troubles are behind him and he's "in". He will have to be "in" for the Jaguars to have any success on defense this season. An effective Henderson will lead to double-teams and let the sophomore pass rushers (Groves and Harvey) pursue the quarterback.
A few more of those famous Henderson pass knockdowns wouldn't hurt either.

Finally a new post!!!
Um, yeah, so it's been a while since I updated my blog. I've been so involved with Blogabetes that I'm having trouble finding time (read: deadline season at work) and inspiration for my blog. However, I have vowed to try to be better about not leaving my faithful readers in a lurch for so long anymore.
So, here to whet your appetite for more, is a meme floating around the OC.
1. Were you named after anyone? My middle name is my paternal grandmother's maiden name. My sister and my nephew have the same middle name. An interesting tidbit about my name: all three of my names have eight letters.
2. When was the last time you cried? The week before Thanksgiving, I think. I was terribly worried about my blood clot leg and wound up going for a doppler to make sure I wasn't developing another clot.
3. Do you like your handwriting? Sometimes. Usually I think it's just OK.
4. What is your favorite lunch meat? Roast beef.
5. Do you have kids? Yes. No. 1 is almost 8 (my God how did that happen??), No. 2 just turned 5, and No. 3 will be 2 next week (again, how did that happen??).
6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you? I hope so.
7. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Ah, ye-ah.
8. Do you still have your tonsils? Yes.
9. Would you bungee jump? No freaking way. Couldn't get me to jump out of a plane either.
10. What is your favorite cereal? I have a lot of trouble eating cereal without taking a ton of insulin. When I do eat cereal, though, I like Raisin Bran Crunch, Smart Start (but I won't buy it anymore because the box is too small for the steep price tag) and almost anything sugary.
11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? No.
12. Do you think you are strong? I have my moments.
13. What is your favorite ice cream? Peanut Butter and Chocolate from Baskin Robbins. Also really like Chocolate Fudge Brownie from Ben and Jerry's.
14. What is the first thing you notice about people? Body shape, I think. And how a person holds himself up. I think it reveals a lot about self-confidence.
15. Red or Pink? Neither, really. Or, it depends.
16. What is your least favorite thing about yourself? I can be moody.
17. Who do you miss the most? I regret that I can't spend more time with my grandmother. And hate that I can't see my sister every day.
18. What color pants and shoes are you wearing? Jeans and khaki slip ons from Easy Spirit.
20. What was the last thing you ate? Quaker's Lower Sugar maple and brown sugar oatmeal. I really want some M&M's right now.
21. What are you listening to right now? A girl in the office discussing style and grammar, the ticking of my typing.
22. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Always loved midnight blue.
23. Favorite smells? Rain, fresh-cut grass, Christmas, clean babies.
24. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? I had an editorial conference call. In five minutes I'm about to have another conference call.
25. Favorite sports to watch? Baseball, specifically the St. Louis Cardinals. I've grown to enjoy watching football.
26. Hair color? Medium brown
27. Eye color? Blueish, greenish.
28. Do you wear contacts? No, I wear glasses. I get mixed answers when I ask about contacts. However, I'm not fond of having things in my eyes, so I don't know that I'd enjoy wearing contacts anyway.
29. Favorite food? I love a good steak. Oh, and pretty much anything chocolate.
30. Scary Movies or Happy Endings? Happy endings, though I enjoy some psychological thrillers and would prefer that to a physical thriller.
31. Last movie you watched? Die Hard 4.
32. What color shirt are you wearing? Greenish button down with my company name embroidered.
33. Summer or winter? Depends. I don't like real hot or real cold. I prefer spring and fall.
34. Hugs or kisses? Depends on who I'm getting them from!
35. Favorite dessert? Hmmm… I have to pick just one?
36. What is on your mousepad? Some space scene.
37. What did you watch on TV last night? I watched Journeyman online because I missed it on TV on Monday.
38. Favorite sound? My kids laughing, rain/thunderstorms
39. Rolling Stones or Beatles? Probably Beatles.
40. What is the farthest you have been from home? Mexico.
41. Do you have a special talent? Uh, I don't think so.

Your disaster kit depends on yours and your families specific needs
A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.
Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment's notice and take essentials with you. You WILL NOT HAVE TIME to search for the supplies or shop for supplies.
You may need to survive on your own after an emergency. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for a minimum of 7-14 days. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster but they cannot reach everyone immediately.
In Wai'anae due to our isolation, we encourage all families to be prepared for a minimum of 14 days instead of 7 days. It may take time for help to get to us following a natural or man-made disaster. If our harbors and/or airports are affected we may be relying on our own resources longer than other places within the United States. Your supplies kit should contain items to help you and/or your family survives. Below are different disaster kits for you, your family, pets, people with access or functional needs and seniors.
A recommendation is to customize your own supplies based on your requirements.
Water – recommend filling gallon containers, water coolers, water bladders or even filling up trash bins lined with heavy duty trash bags with water.
Food – think outside of the box and remember, this is survival food, not normal dining. Consider 2-48oz jars of Chunky Peanut Butter, Crackers, Dried Fruits and Nuts and protein bars and/or shakes. Women need about 1200 calories minimum to survive; whereas men need about 1500 calories.
Prescription drugs and supplies – be sure to get a print out of all your prescription from your doctor or pharmacist and order your prescriptions on the first available day that you are permitted if on Medicaid so you have at least an extra week's worth.
What does 14 days of food & water look like?
Make a basic Emergency Supply Kit:
7- 14 Gallons of water per person
7-14 Days of food per person
Battery Radio + batteries
(Solar or Crank Recommended)
Flashlight + batteries
(Solar or Crank Recommended)
First Aid Kit
Important Documents &
Emergency Contacts
Cash (Small Denominations)
Disaster Packing Kit List
Pet food
Bottled water
Veterinary records
Cat litter/pan
Manual can opener
Food dishes
First aid kit and other supplies
Identify pet friendly shelters
Don't forget to make a kit for your Pet(s):
Prepare Your Pet Disaster Kit
Make sure you have a secure pet carrier, leash or harness for your pet so that if he panics, he can't escape.
Preparing for People with Access and Functional Needs
People with access and functional needs and their family members
should make plans to protect themselves in the event of an emergency.
Planning ahead is required to protect yourself and your family when
emergencies occur. You are in the ideal position to plan for your own
safety as you best know your abilities and needs during and after an
emergency or disaster. You can prepare for emergencies by planning
ahead with your family and/or care attendants. For more information
and available resources that can help you get prepared, check out
, and the
Centers for Disease C
Preparedness for
Access and Functional Need
Preparing for Seniors
There are commonsense measures older Americans can take to start preparing for emergencies before they happen.
Create a network of neighbors, relatives, friends, and co-workers to aid you in an emergency. Discuss your needs and make sure everyone knows how to operate necessary equipment. If appropriate, discuss your needs with your employer.
Seniors should keep specialized items ready, including extra
batteries, oxygen, catheters, medication, food for
animals and
any other items you might need. Keep a list of the
model numbers of the medical devices you require. Be
sure to
provisions for medications that require refrigeration.
arrangements for any assistance to get to a shelter.

|Article exposes ill intention of Dalai Lama's sabotage of ethnic relations (08/18/09)
BEIJING, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- A signed article Tuesday accused the Dalai Lama of using ungrounded and self-contradictory argument to comment on and damage the relations between the Han and Tibetan people.
The article's author, Zhang Yun, an expert with the China Tibetology Research Center in Beijing, said the Dalai Lama used his "adept presentation skill and fluent English" to make speeches worldwide, but many of his words relating to the Tibet issue was self-contradictory.
His talk at the Tibetan-Chinese Conference on Aug. 6 to 8 in Geneva, Switzerland, was evidence of it, Zhang said.
Following is an excerpt from the article:
In his speech at the conference, the Dalai Lama said, "In March last year Beijing has labeled those who peacefully demonstrated their dissatisfaction with policies towards minority nationalities, particularly Tibetans as being anti-Chinese, thus fanning racial antagonism and hatred between the Tibetan and Chinese peoples ....it has resulted in baseless suspicion and distrust between the two communities."
Is this a fact?
Let's turn to history. From the history we see that the Dalai Lama had a special skill of creating conflict between the Han and Tibetan people. After signing the 17-Article Agreement with the central government to emancipate Tibet through peaceful means, he wrote to then Chairman Mao Zedong, saying he would assist the People's Liberation Army to strengthen national defense and dispel imperialists out of China so as to safeguard the integrity of the nation's land sovereignty.
But in early July the next year, the Dalai Lama sent a message to a general consulate of the United States in India's Calcutta, telling Americans that the Tibetan people would not support the Han people and Tibetan people were Tibetan.
He said he hoped the U.S. government could offer material and spiritual support to the "Tibetan government" at an appropriate time.
Aristocrats in Tibet launched an armed rebellion in 1959, with a slogan -- "people eating tsamba (Tibetans) driving away people eating rice (Han)." The aim of the Dalai Lama was to create conflict between the two ethnic groups.
After three decades of reform and opening up, inflicting ethnic conflict has become a "magic weapon" for the Dalai Lama to destroy Tibet's stability and development.
In his "five basic component peace plan" issued in September 1987, the Dalai Lama asked for the "abandonment of China's population transfer policy which threatens the very existence of the Tibetans as a people".
This "peace plan" said, "Today, in the whole of Tibet 7.5 million Chinese settlers have already been sent, outnumbering the Tibetan population of 6 million."
In 2007, the Dalai Lama said, "The fight over Tibet is between different ethnic groups, and it will carry on no matter whether I live or die."
On March 25, 2008, he told the U.S. Newsweek that he "occasionally met affluent Tibetans who are economically sound, who have good housing," but "as Tibetans they feel some kind of subtle discrimination by the Chinese".
The Wall Street Journal reported on Aug. 14 that the Dalai Lama said the Chinese government would ask 1 million Han people to emigrate to Tibet after the Beijing Olympics.
He said Tibetan people felt dissatisfied about the surge of Han people into Tibet, believing that Beijing was trying to dilute the Tibetan culture.
During his interview with the German newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau on March 8 this year, the Dalai Lama said that "Tibetans' frustration and anger toward China are gradually increasing."
"At the same time, many ethnic Han Chinese have purchased weapons and are ready to fire," he said, adding he was very worried that conflicts may suddenly arise.
He said in an annual statement on March 10, 2009, "Even today, Tibetans in Tibet live in constant fear and the Chinese authorities remain constantly suspicious of them. Today, the religion, culture, language and identity, which successive generations of Tibetans have considered more precious than their lives, are nearing extinction; in short, the Tibetan people are regarded like criminals deserving to be put to death."
His words prove that the Dalai Lama is not guarding ethnic unity. On one side, he asked the Han people to move out of the so-called region of "Greater Tibet", but on the other, he denied he had said that.
This type of self-contradictory behavior from the Dalai Lama is well known.
The Chinese government has always advocated that all ethnic groups cannot be separated from each other, and the law bans any provocation of ethnic tension. Is there any evidence to prove that it is the Chinese government that stirs ethnic tensions?
In an interview with BBC's online Chinese edition on Aug. 6, the Dalai Lama blamed the People's Liberation Army (PLA) as "the root cause" of the Tibet issue.
He said the cause of the Tibet issue was not civil war or internal problems among Tibetans, but the arrival of the PLA. He accused the PLA of using force to control everything.
During the interview, the Dalai Lama avoided using the term "Han Chinese" or the "red Han Chinese". But in the past he had always used expressions like the "Han nationality" or the "Han Chinese" when mentioning the history of the peaceful liberation of Tibet and the PLA's entry into Tibet. Clearly, in the past, he attempted to parallel the PLA with the Han Chinese.
Also, by repeatedly claiming that "the Han Chinese invade Tibet" or "China invades Tibet", the Dalai Lama wants to create an impression that Tibet is an independent country, and it is the Han Chinese's entry into Tibet that caused "ethnic conflicts".
It is ridiculous and baseless for the Dalai Lama to refer to so-called "conflicts between the Tibetan and Han Chinese" as the Tibet issue. The real Tibet issue is the fact that the imperialist forces, led by the British, invaded China in the 19th century and early 20th century. They intended to seek "Tibet independence" by supporting the upper-class separatists in Tibet. Those separatist activities not only harmed national unity, but also severely damaged the harmony among ethnic groups.
A meeting at Simla (Now Shimla) in then British India in 1914, backed by Britain, went further to try to separate Tibet from China. After the meeting the upper-class separatists in Tibet continued to try to separate Tibet from China, and in the 1940s they tried to drive the Han Chinese out of Tibet.
The real unity between the Tibetan and the Han Chinese took place after the peaceful liberation of Tibet in 1951, as a result of an agreement between the central government and Tibet's local government, and the entry of the PLA into Tibet. Only after the liberation, Tibetans no longer suffered humiliation caused by the invasion of imperialists. Thanks to the same reason, the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, who then administrated two different regions of Tibet, reached reconciliations.
What the PLA did after entering Tibet, such as building roads and bridges and providing medical treatment to locals, have long be remembered and praised by Tibetan people. But now the Dalai Lama tries to ignore even distort the history. This is indeed a fallacy.
After the Xinjiang riot on July 5, the Dalai Lama chose to stand by the side of the separatists. In his statement on the deadly riot that killed nearly 200 people, the Dalai Lama called Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region "East Turkestan", an obvious hint that he did not recognize that Xinjiang is a part of China.
During an interview with the BBC, the Dalai Lama said, "The last 60 years of policy regarding different nationality or ethnic groups, not only in China's case but also in the former Soviet Union, is a failure."
The Dalai Lama's comment on China's policy of ethnic groups is a total distortion.
To ensure that all ethnic people living in China could enjoy their rights and interests, the government has adopted the administrative system of regional autonomy of ethnic minorities.
By carrying out the system in the five autonomous regions, the government has trained lots of cadres of ethnic minorities and the regions have achieved great progress in economic and social constructions with the minorities' religious freedom and ethnic traditions well preserved.
China's policy of ethnic minorities will continue to be improved to secure the national unity, solidarity and people's interests of all ethnic groups.
Regarding the Dalai Lama's comment, if he has no ulterior motive, then his words are too cursory and he must be ignorant of the government's policy.
The Dalai Lama has lied many times in commenting China's policies and Tibet's history. Many people are asking when the Dalai Lama will stop lying, but I would rather think that it is too hard for him.
The Dalai Lama tried all means to beautify the reign of his Kashag, the exiled Cabinet, which had conducted had cruelly ruled the people living in Tibet. At the same time, the Dalai Lama pretends to be a moralist and peacemaker.
The Dalai Lama and his followers in exile cannot represent the Tibetan people, and the people who try to plot separatist activities will never succeed. If the Dalai Lama truly wants to maintain ethnic solidarity, he should take real actions.

Barcelona Transfer News: Why Blaugrana Will Regret Selling Cesc FabregasJune 12, 2014
Cesc Fabregas has officially completed a move back to the Premier League, joining former club Arsenal's rivals Chelsea, and Barcelona could end up regretting the sale of their former youth product.
Chelsea made the news of the Fabregas transfer official via a statement on their website, as the player took his time to say goodbye to his former club before explaining he felt he had "unfinished" business in England:
Firstly I would like to thank everyone at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed three wonderful years. It was my childhood club and I will always be proud and honoured that I had a chance to play for such a great team.
I do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now is the right time to return.
I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice. They match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win trophies. They have an amazing squad of players and an incredible manager. I am fully committed to this team and I can't wait to start playing.
The Spanish midfielder was all class as he said his goodbyes to Barcelona, unlike the club's response on their official website:
Cesc Fabregas is leaving FC Barcelona, three years after re-joining the club from Arsenal. His return of 42 goals in 151 appearances is an impressive tally for a midfielder, mainly because he has also been played frequently in the 'false centre forward' role that is so popular at Barça. He has won 106 games, drawn 29 and lost 16.
But despite glowing starts to each campaign, Cesc's contributions to the cause gradually decreased as each season drew to a close. From being someone who joined in with the attack, supplying and scoring goals, the magic tended to fade later on in each season. He only scored one, six and one goals in the last 24 games of each season. For some reason, he was never as good in the second half of a season as in the first.
Fabregas was a victim of the 2013-14 campaign that saw the team finish without winning a trophy for the first time in six years and the club's decision to move some of their assets is an understandable one. Change was needed, and change is what we are seeing.
But whether or not the Blaugrana sold the right player is debatable, and the decision to let Fabregas move back to London is one that could come back to haunt them.
Like Barcelona's statement says, Fabregas isn't just a central midfielder. He was one of the team's most versatile players, capable of playing every single midfield position and even further up the pitch as a so-called false nine.
Fabregas isn't an impressive athlete, nor is he a lethal finisher. What he is, however, is an exceptional passer with superb vision and a great understanding of the game. He's very good at creating space and chances for others, and Chelsea are bringing him in for this exact reason.
His best role is as a central midfielder, where he has the most space to put his distribution skills to good use.
At Barcelona, those spots are already taken by the dynamic duo of Andres Iniesta and Xavi—arguably the best central duo in world football.
With Sergio Busquets closing down the space behind them, these two veterans have the freedom to drift all over the pitch and work their magic. Their passing is what makes this team tick, and Barcelona have ridden this pair to the most successful period in club history.
Xavi is the oldest of the two at 34 years of age. His 2013-14 season perhaps wasn't as exceptional as previous campaigns, but the team struggled as a whole, so it shouldn't be assumed Father Time is catching up to the Spanish international.
What Barcelona lack is depth behind these two, a plan B in case something goes wrong.
No one would ever wish for injury to befall one of Xavi or Iniesta, but given the busy schedule Barcelona will be playing next season—including Champions League football—odds are it will happen.
Fabregas' understanding of Barcelona's system made him the perfect backup: versatile enough to fill in at other positions, but more than capable of playing in the centre when one of the veterans needed a rest or got injured.
It's not as simple as just signing a replacement for the Spanish international—Barcelona's tiki-taka style of football is too complicated for a new signing to just soak in over the course of a single summer.
Sky Sports' Lucas Brown reports Ivan Rakitic will be the team's first summer signing, and the Croatian is a fine player. However, Rakitic has no experience playing tiki-taka and has never played for a club of this magnitude.
As for bringing up his replacement from La Masia—the position of central midfielder is stocked with talent, most notably Sergi Samper and Denis Suarez—none of the youngsters have any real experience on the highest level.
Fabregas was seen as a natural heir to Xavi when the latter would decide to hang up his boots, and the former Arsenal captain perhaps never lived up to that potential.
With his long-term future at the club doubtful, Barcelona decided to strike when the iron was still hot. On a financial level, that makes sense.
But the club will miss his versatility, and unless Rakitic somehow takes to Barcelona's intricate system like a fish takes to water, they will miss having Fabregas there in case something happens to their two midfield stars.
Fabregas' parting from the club seemed like a foregone conclusion as soon as the 2013-14 season ended, and in the long run, perhaps a split will benefit both parties the most.
Going into the 2014-15 season, though, the Blaugrana will have their regrets over selling the man they tried so hard to bring back just a few years ago.
