Farnborough, England (CNN) -- Global Positioning Systems (GPS) may already guide millions of cars around the world, but airplanes are still guided by a 70-year-old radar technology.
That is changing in the United States where engineering firm ITT is building out a GPS-based system as part of a larger "NextGen" system to vastly upgrade the country's air traffic control systems.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which awarded the contract to ITT back in 2007, says the new GPS system will be nearly 10 times more accurate than radar. It will allow controllers to have much better idea of where all planes are and allow pilots to know where other planes are.
"There are numerous benefits to go to a GPS-based system, including savings of fuel, less carbon-dioxide emissions and better-controlled ascents and descents," ITT Senior V.P. David Melcher told CNN at the Farnborough Air show outside London.
"The pilots will actually have better situation awareness in the cabin, they'll have more air traffic information and climate information," he added.
The disappearance of Air France Flight 477 and its 228 passengers over the Atlantic Ocean in 2009 led critics of radar-based air traffic control to call for a move to GPS-based networks that can precisely track all planes.
With the current air traffic system, controllers cannot see a plane flying over an ocean on radar until it is within about 200 miles of land. Controllers often have to estimate a plane's location based on flight plans and departure times. Experts argue that this estimation can make planes vulnerable if they have to land in an emergency.
The infrastructure for the new GPS tracking will be in place by early 2012 says ITT but it will take much of the rest of the decade to fully implement the entire system into each and every airplane, large and small.
"The roll-out of the system and the capability which ITT Corporation is responsible for will occur between now and early 2012," Melcher said.
By 2020, aircraft will be able to fly closer together and the system is tasked with cut down on delays. Currently some planes have to fly longer, more meandering routes across the U.S. to be seen on tracking beacons.
In all this, GPS is expected to save airlines a great deal of fuel. The FAA says "NextGen" is expected to reduce total flight delays by about 21 percent by 2018 while providing $22 billion in cumulative benefits to the traveling public, aircraft operators and the FAA. In the process, more than 1.4 billion gallons of fuel will be saved during this period, cutting carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 14 million tons.
It has not been easy. There are still questions about how much airlines should contribute to the huge cost and some people who say the introduction of GPS should not be seen as a cure all for the industry's congestion problems.
Still, there is progress on a global system.
Europe has its own system, and recently struck a deal with U.S. authorities so the two systems will work together. After that, ITT is looking for ways to allow systems already being built or planned to talk to each other.

My family and I have been witness to and beneficiary of amazing providence in this week of Sandy. We are incredibly lucky. Seeing the complete destruction of entire neighborhoods on the Jersey Shore and in Staten Island and Queens and Hoboken only drives that home. This morning my wife saw an aerial picture of the shore town where she spent her young summers and was in shock: whole neighborhoods she knew had disappeared.
In our neighborhood in central New Jersey, we benefitted from acts of wonderful neighborliness. Our dead-end street was blocked by more than two dozen large, fallen trees. Most of our neighbors got together, got out their chainsaws, and proceeded to clear the street and driveways all day Tuesday. (Friends and family will be horrified to know that I, too, wielded my brand new chainsaw, but they will be relieved to know that I managed to break it in short order.) Our street is still blocked by a fallen utility pole but we managed to get some cars around it, until our route turned into a muddy trap, so we shuttle back and forth from this barricade.
On Monday night, as the winds of Sandy hit frightening velocity, a tree fell against the back of our house but we were terribly fortunate as it damaged the deck and roughed up the roof and some gutters but did not breach our home. Another 15 or more trees fell that night around our house — but fell away from it. (We live in the woods, though that may now be singular rather than plural.)
This was a fortunate story repeated up and down our block, where far more trees fell than anywhere I've seen in our part of the state (we live on what New Jersey calls a mountain, which apparently accelerated the winds). At one home, a garage roof got a bad gash but that was all. At another couple's house, the wife worried about a tree falling in the master bedroom and so she moved to a grown child's bedroom but the tree she feared fell right on top of it, sending wood through the ceiling a few feet above her head. She's fine. Other houses were similarly hugged by dying trees but overall unharmed. More important, of course, is that all our neighbors were unharmed.
We live in an area with well water, which means that when we lose power, we lose water and toilets, in addition to heat and — thanks to being on Fios — the phone and, of course, the internet. Also, our nearest cell towers appear to have suffered damage or lost power, so we lost total communication in our house. Thus the social media that I tout so much was not as useful to me as I'd have thought. And now, after the storm, it's still not giving us the very practical information we crave: which streets are blocked; where power is returning; when power will come to us; what restaurants and stores are reopening; where to get gas….
But I was lucky to have managed to make a hotel reservation and the staff at our Marriott has been amazing, letting us extend our stay and helping us with unfailing cheerfulness even though they are harried and overworked and surely worried about their own homes and families. At the restaurants that one-by-one reopen and stores, we have found the staffs to be gracious and generous just as we have found neighbors and strangers to be ready to help in a moment. At our reopened mall today — instantly filled with refugees from the storm — I saw a couple of guys commander electric plugs with power strips so they could watch over folks' gadgets as they recharged. Yes, crises bring out the best in people.
There are frustrations. We have no idea when we will get power back. I have seen only *one* crew working within miles of our home. I'm frustrated and worried that our downed utility pole has prevented police and firefighters from reaching a home on our street with a bad gas leak and I am concerned about our elderly neighbors being out of reach of ambulances. Our police have been very helpful but we haven't seen much of our town. Sitting in gas lines, I'm reliving my first big story as a reporter — the '73 oil embargo — and wonder at how little we've learned. I doubt I'll be able to get to the airport for a trip I'll probably have to cancel and without trains or bas, I have no idea how I will make it into New York for my class on Monday; millions of commuters are in the same bind. Frustration will surely grow as our powerlessness continues for days and then weeks.
I'm also struck by our lessened investment in infrastructure and standards. When we built the POTS — plain old telephone system — we ended up with a system that assured us we'd still get a dial tone (remember that?) in spite of any problem short of a cut wire. Now, if you believe that weather could become more frequently extreme, then our wires on polls and breakable phone and internet systems and dependence on power to stay constantly charged and connected make us feel only more fragile at moments such as these.
But at the end of this long week, I am aware of one thought more than any other: I am lucky.

an Apple a Day It keeps the doctor away, we all know that. But fresh fruits and vegetables are some of the most frugal foods you can find in terms of the nutrition:cost ratio. Sure, a bag of oreos might cost less than five pounds of apples (but probably not), but by choosing a piece of fruit as a snack you save calories and get vitamins. So in the end, it really does keep the doctor away, and with the exorbitant cost of health care in the United States, that's not a bad thing.
Budgets Being frugal means being on top of your money. What better way to keep on top of your money than by using a budget? In fact, for me it's the only way, as the 'spend until we have nothing left' plan doesn't really seem to work. Pear Budget, excel sheets, pen and paper, the envelope system… they will all work, if you use them.
Catnip Looking for a frugal toy for your cat? I've found that my three furry snobs reject out of paw the fancy balls and stuffed mice found at the pet store. What they go for most is some home grown weed… catnip of course! For the price of one small toy, get a kit that keeps on giving. And you'll be decorating your home as well, two for the price of one. Think outside the box when it comes to pet toys; paper bags, cardboard boxes, marbles are all big fun for our three beasts.
Diapers I'm a big fan of cloth diapers, both for frugal and for economic reasons. But the diapers I'm referring to here aren't for covering your baby's butt… they're for cleaning your toilets and floors. I've found that the really thick prefold diapers (the kind you have to fold and pin into shape on a baby) are perfect for cleaning and the more you use them, the more absorbent they are. They almost make cleaning toilets enjoyable. Almost. So, no more chemically impregnated throwaway wipes, use and reuse a diaper instead.
the Environment Have you noticed how green and frugal decisions tend to go hand in hand? Consume less? Frugal and green. Buy local food? Frugal and green. Drive shorter distances and less frequently? Frugal and green. Whether you make your decisions out of an ecological motive or an economic one, the end result is often the same.
Freecycle can be an excellent way to practice frugality. Looking for something in particular? Post a request on your local group's site. Trying to get rid of something without paying to take it to the dump. Offer it to others. I've gotten pots and pans, laundry detergent, a baby crib and gotten rid of too many things to mention here.
Goodwill Thrift stores should also be known as treasure troves, as long as you only buy what you have use for. I find that if I go on a regular basis with a shopping list in mind of what I really need (not what I really want, and there is a difference) then I don't buy too much. Clothes, books, household supplies: why buy new? Remember, as soon as you buy a 'new' item it becomes used. And by buying used you are often able to afford better quality than if it were new. A final added bonus is that often times proceeds from thrift stores support local charities either directly or indirectly.
Handy work Know how much plumbers charge? A lot, especially on Sunday evenings. Or how much does it cost to repaint a dog-chewed door… more than you want to know. Are your pants too long? The local going rate is €15 to have them hemmed, about fifteen minutes worth of work. Wouldn't you like to save yourself €60 an hour? Handy work can come in very handy; if you know how to do it yourself you can save yourself a lot of money. Don't know how to do it yourself? Check out Back to Basics.
ING or any other online savings and checking account are great ways to manage your money. I like mine because it's not linked to my checking account, meaning that my savings are out of sight and out of mind. Sometimes, unfortunately, they're a little too out of mind, when I forget to add to them, but automated transfers can solve that problem. Many online accounts allow you to create various sub accounts, meaning that you can see your emergency fund, new car fund, vacation account and down payment stash progress nicely.
the Joneses (and not keeping up with them) If there's one way to shoot yourself in the foot, no matter what, it's comparing yourselves to others. Sure, maybe your neighbors have a nice car and take a ton of long weekend trips, but how are they paying for it? You don't know. If you really want to live a frugal life than you can only compare yourself to your goals and ambitions. Measure the progress you make against them, not the neighbors. Which leads me to…
Know your goals… and your limits Why are you frugal? What do you have or hope to gain? Is it paying off past debt, avoiding new debt, saving for a specific goal or for ethical and philosophical reasons? Knowing your goals will better help you to achieve them. On the other hand, you have to know your limits as well. As much as I hate the idea of spending money on eating out, I also know that I go crazy if I have to cook too many meals in a row.
Leftovers When planning and preparing a meal, make enough for leftovers. You've then cooked once, something that can be eaten two, three or more times as the case may be. You don't have to eat it immediately either, that's what freezers are for! Leftovers can be taken to work as the next day's lunch, saving your spouse the need to buy a sandwich or starve.
Menu planning Whether you plan your menus before you go shopping or after, menu planning can be a valuable tool in your frugal toolkit. it helps you to use your food the most efficiently, with the least waste possible (I've heard that Americans throw away up to one third of the food they buy). And by knowing what you are going to make and eat for dinner you are better prepared to resist the siren's call of the Golden Arches.
Networking I am a huge believer in the power of networking. It can help you in many ways, not the least of which is being frugal. If you know someone, or know someone who knows someone, then you have a personal relationship with that person. That relationship can help you get the things you need as long as you remember that networking is a two way street and a three step process: first you give, then you receive then you give back again.
Online checking Part of doing a budget and making it work is keeping up with your money. An online checking account can help immensely. Just log on every morning while sipping your morning coffee and log in the previous days' expenses into your budget sheet. That's what I do… theoretically at least!
My Points can be a great rewards program… a program that helps you earn gift cards in exchange for just a little bit of time. They send you emails and you earn points for reading them. I've earned enough points to be able to give away $30 in gift cards and I'm more than halfway towards another $10 Target card. How does this help you be frugal? Well you wouldn't turn down $40 cash, would you?
Questions Unless you're a born expert (and I know very few people who are) asking questions is the best way to get ahead in life. Want to learn how to cook so you don't have to eat out as often? Ask someone who's good in the kitchen. Looking for the best haircut at a decent price? Ask someone whose hairdo you love. Want to learn how to be frugal? Start leaving comments and asking lots of questions on your favorite blogs. Remember, you'll never get anything if you don't ask, and the worst someone can do is say no.
the second R Reduce Reuse Recycle are environmental keywords. But Reuse should be a frugal keyword as well. Reusing something in a way different from its intended purpose is a great way to save money and express your creativity.
Soap As I was cleaning my kitchen the other day, I realized that I didn't have any 'typical' cleaning products on hand- nothing to scour, scrub or shine with, and what's more, I hadn't had any of those products for years. It's not that I don't clean my kitchen, of course I do, it's that I use the basics: clean rags, a sponge, soap and water. (And of course vinegar, but there's more on that below.) I don't spend money on expensive cleaning products and I don't have to either. I read an interesting tip a while back: when you finish washing the dishes and your sponge is still soapy, give a quick going over of the appliances or counters. Then toss the sponge in the dishwasher for cleaning.
TV Don't go to the movies, or spend a lot of money in a club. Have a family movie night. Tivo a favorite film, make a bowl of popcorn and settle in for a frugal night together. Just don't get sucked into the commercials. One of the things that most struck me when I first read The Tightwad Gazette was a pop quiz: when a new movie comes out you a) run out to see it right away, b) wait six months to rent it on video or c) wait ten years to see it on network TV. I bet you can guess the correct (frugal) answer.
Unplug And when you're finished watching the movie, turn the TV off- at the source. Unplugging appliances instead of merely turning them off can save a considerable amount of power and therefore money. The same thing goes for things like phone recharger or the computer. There are fancy plugs that allow you to disconnect all the accessories when you turn off one main object (the printer, scanner and stereo when you turn off the computer for example) but I go the low tech route and unplug it from the wall.
Vinegar Is there a better all purpose substance? You can use it to condition your hair, refresh the washing machine, dress a salad, unclog the sink (with a little baking soda), get the gunk out of the coffee pot, shine your floors, bake a cake… the list goes on and on. Good stuff that vinegar, and cheap too!
Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. I remember as a child being able to drink my fill out of a public drinking fountain just about anywhere. And now they seem to be disappearing faster than you can say 'Thirsty, thirsty'! Carrying a refillable bottle with you, be it made of glass or aluminum, is still cheaper than buying a drink on the go. It's better for you too, and kinder to the environment. Not to mention that people tend to be more irrational when they're hungry or thirsty; swigging water in the aisles at Target may just help those impulse buys from landing in the cart.
eXpensive It's not necessarily a bad thing when something costs a lot of money, as long as you can afford it, buying it fits in with your goals and it is a good value for the money.
whY are you on this frugal journey? You know your goals and you know your limits, but do you know your motives? Why are you saving to buy a house? Is it because you've always dreamed of having a home of your own, or is it because that's what you're supposed to do when you're thirty and married?
Zzzzs Getting your sleep can help keep you sane. Anyone with a colicky or teething baby can attest to that. And just as people can avoid making irrational decisions by staying hydrated, staying well-rested helps as well. Plus, is there a more frugal activity than catching some ZZZs between your sheets?
Now you know my ABCs. Won't you try and sing with me? What can you add to the list?

"I must admit that I stopped checking my blood sugar," Dave said. "I used to stick myself and write the numbers in a book, but I had no idea what they meant. I'd eat the same thing and get different numbers. Finally, I just gave up."
Sound familiar? Many people dutifully check their blood glucose levels but have no idea what the numbers mean. Part of the problem is that blood glucose levels constantly fluctuate and are influenced by many factors. The other part of the problem is that no two people are alike. A blood glucose reading of 158 mg/dl in two different people might have two different explanations.
Most people know that their bodies need glucose to fuel their activities and that certain foods or large quantities of almost any food will raise blood glucose. That's the easy part. But just as cars require a complicated system of fuel pumps, ignition timing, batteries, pistons, and a zillion other things to convert gasoline into motion, our bodies rely on an intricate system to convert glucose into energy.
— Learn More About Blood Glucose Management >>
Back to basics
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that helps regulate the way the body uses glucose. Its main job is to allow glucose in the blood to enter cells of the body where it can be used for energy. In people who don't have diabetes, the pancreas changes how much insulin it releases depending on blood glucose levels. Eating a chocolate bar? The pancreas releases more insulin. Sleeping? The pancreas releases less insulin until the wee hours of the morning when the hormones secreted in the early morning naturally increase insulin resistance, so the pancreas needs to release a little more.
Insulin also controls how much glucose is produced and released from the liver. Glucose is stored in the liver in a form called glycogen. When blood glucose levels drop, the liver turns glycogen into glucose and sends glucose to the bloodstream. When there is enough glucose in the bloodstream, the pancreas signals the liver to stop sending glucose into the bloodstream. This system of signals and feedback loops keeps the delicate coordination of insulin release and blood glucose in balance.
In Type 1 diabetes, the coordination of insulin release and blood glucose is completely out of balance because the pancreas stops making insulin. Injected insulin is used to replace what is missing and supply insulin's signals again.
With Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin but not enough to keep up with the body's demand. Studies have shown that Type 2 diabetes is progressive, meaning that the beta cells of the pancreas make less insulin over time. In addition, the cells of the body are unable to take glucose out of the bloodstream when needed because they resist the insulin that you need to allow glucose to enter cells. On top of that, the liver continues to send a lot of glucose into the bloodstream even when it isn't needed because the signals telling the liver to shut off aren't working. So there are three problems facing those with Type 2 diabetes: not enough insulin, insulin resistance, and a liver that won't stop releasing glucose into the bloodstream.
What's normal?
Before any blood glucose reading has meaning, you need to know what you're aiming for. Target goals for blood glucose set by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) are 80–130 mg/dl before a meal and less than 180 mg/dl two hours after the start of a meal. The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) has defined stricter blood glucose target goals of less than 110 mg/dl before a meal and less than 140 mg/dl two hours after the start of a meal. Ask your health-care provider whether you should use the ADA or the AACE targets as your goal. Both guidelines are based on evidence showing the blood glucose readings that are needed to prevent the complications of diabetes.
The words you use to describe blood glucose monitoring may affect how you feel about it. For example, it might help to call it a blood glucose check, not a test, because the word "test" implies pass or fail. It might also help to refer to blood glucose readings as either in or out of target range rather than "good" or "bad."
It's also good to remember that your blood glucose goal is to aim for a target range, not an exact number each time. Before-meal blood glucose readings of 101 mg/dl, 114 mg/dl, 126 mg/dl, and 97 mg/dl may look like they are up and down, but they're all within the target range defined by the ADA.
When you begin to analyze your blood glucose readings, it is helpful to recognize the difference between an isolated reading and a pattern of readings. Say you check your blood glucose before lunch one day, and you get a reading of 246 mg/dl. You know that the reading is out of range, but so what? To make sense of that reading, you would need to know your pattern of blood glucose readings before lunch. If you checked three days in a row before lunch and recorded readings of 118 mg/dl, 110 mg/dl, and 113 mg/dl, you'd see that the reading of 246 mg/dl doesn't fit your usual pattern before lunch and therefore isn't noteworthy.
Knowing your pattern gives you a background for comparison. Isolated readings can still be helpful, especially when your blood glucose is low. But an isolated reading is meaningless without knowing the story behind it. And the story includes the factors that affect blood glucose level, including food, medicines, exercise, stress, and infection.
How often should I check?
Most people check their blood glucose level once a day, first thing in the morning. It's a common time to check because it's easy: You get up, check your blood glucose, take your medicines, and eat breakfast. Then you're done with your diabetes for the day and don't have to think about it anymore.
The problem with this routine is that it only tells you about your blood glucose pattern before breakfast. You don't learn what is happening after meals or later in the day. To find meaningful patterns at other times of the day, you have to check at other times of day.
One option for finding more patterns is to check your blood glucose four times per day three days per week. Checking before breakfast, two hours after breakfast, before dinner, and two hours after dinner three times per week for a few weeks will help you identify your patterns throughout the day.
Try to make blood glucose monitoring a useful tool by checking your blood glucose at times that serve you. Blood glucose monitoring should help you make a decision, give you feedback about a decision, and help you learn about your usual patterns.
You also need to consider the cost of the test strips. For those who do not take insulin, Medicare pays for one strip per day, so you want to put those strips to good use. Instead of just checking before breakfast every morning, you might decide to check before and after breakfast on Monday, before and after lunch on Wednesday, and before and after dinner on Saturday. If you take insulin, Medicare and most health insurance plans will pay for the number of strips written by your health-care provider on the prescription.
There are many ways to keep track of your blood glucose readings so that you can evaluate the patterns. You can use a logbook in which you write down the readings along with any comments (such as what you had for lunch or how stressed you were feeling). Depending on what meter you use, you may be able to use computer software that displays the contents of your meter memory in graphic forms.
Here are some common patterns and probable explanations that will help you make sense of your numbers:
My blood glucose is always higher in the morning when I get up and is lower during the day.
- Your liver might be sending a lot of glucose into the bloodstream because the signals telling it to shut off aren't working. The drug metformin may be prescribed, because its main action is to signal the liver to shut off.
- Your dinner or bedtime snack choices might be raising your blood glucose the next morning. Try changing your food choices and portions to learn more about their effect on your blood glucose levels.
- Your body may be unable to handle the effect of the hormones secreted at dawn that work against insulin. This early-morning release of hormones is called the dawn phenomenon. High blood glucose that results from it can be managed with oral medicines or insulin.
- Your insulin or oral medicine dose may need to be adjusted.
My blood glucose is high all day.
- If you have Type 2 diabetes, your cells may be resisting your insulin. Exercise, weight loss, and certain medicines will help to make your body more sensitive to insulin and lower your blood glucose.
- If you have Type 2 diabetes, your pancreas may not be making enough insulin to meet your needs, and you may require oral medicines or insulin.
- If you have Type 1 diabetes, you may need an increase in your basal insulin doses. Basal insulin is the amount of insulin your body needs in the background all day long. Insulin glargine (brand name Lantus), insulin detemir (Levemir), or NPH can provide basal insulin. An insulin pump is also programmed to deliver basal insulin.
My blood glucose is within range before I eat but high two hours later.
- It is helpful to understand how the secretion of insulin changes in Type 2 diabetes. The pancreas secretes insulin in response to a meal in two phases. In the first 10 minutes after glucose enters the bloodstream, there is an early burst of insulin release called first-phase insulin secretion. This is followed by the second-phase insulin secretion, a sustained release of insulin that lasts for several hours. One of the early changes in Type 2 diabetes is the loss of first-phase insulin secretion following a meal. This means that not enough insulin enters the bloodstream as quickly as it is needed, resulting in high blood glucose after meals.
Certain medicines taken at mealtimes can help. Oral drugs such as nateglinide (Starlix) and repaglinide (Prandin) stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin when blood glucose levels are higher, while acarbose (Precose) and miglitol (Glyset) slow the rate at which certain carbohydrates are absorbed from the small intestine.
The rapid-acting insulin analogs lispro (Humalog), glulisine (Apidra), aspart (NovoLog), and insulin human inhalation powder (Afrezza) also work effectively to lower blood glucose after meals. Regular insulin peaks too slowly to completely lower blood glucose following meals although some people find Regular insulin is the best choice for them.
- What you eat makes a difference, too. Your blood glucose reading taken two hours after you start to eat should be about 30 mg/dl higher than before you eat. After-meal readings can tell you about the impact of food on your blood glucose levels. If your blood glucose reading was 111 mg/dl before eating two cups of pasta and 322 mg/dl two hours later, you've learned that two cups of pasta is too much for you. However, a reading of 157 mg/dl two hours after eating one cup of pasta tells you how much pasta you can eat to keep your after-meal readings within the target range.
Many people are shocked by how high their readings are after meals. Ralph was convinced that his large restaurant meals every night didn't really raise his blood glucose levels because his fasting readings weren't elevated. But when he actually checked two hours after dinner and got readings over 400 mg/dl, he decided to make some changes.
My blood glucose is usually no higher than 130 mg/dl, but for the past two days every reading is over 200 mg/dl.
- A sudden change in your blood glucose pattern is usually due to infection. The stress hormones released when you are sick tend to raise blood glucose levels. Infection is a physical stress, and when stress occurs, the body reacts by secreting more epinephrine, cortisol, and glucagon. These hormones cause extra glucose to be released from the liver to give the body added energy to cope. Most times, your blood glucose levels will rise even before you get symptoms of an infection.
Two heads are better than one
Dave stopped checking his blood glucose levels because the numbers didn't mean anything, but some people stop checking simply because the numbers upset them. It's especially hard when you've been following all the rules, eating right, exercising, and taking your medicines and the numbers are still high.
Learning what the numbers mean and evaluating the patterns are tools that can help you cope. It's also helpful to remember that there are blood glucose readings that defy explanation. Sometimes we just don't know why a reading is out of range. That's why it is wise to team up with a diabetes educator or your health-care provider who can offer guidance and a fresh perspective. What do the numbers tell you? The answer lies in knowing your targets, patterns, and who to call when you have a question.

As news cycles go, the death of young adventurer-missionary John Allen Chau is old news but it keeps coming to mind. The story broke mid-November when Sentinelese warriors killed Chau on North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Sea, 700 miles off India's mainland.
This isolated tribe has historically demonstrated violence towards outsiders, yet Chau hired local fishermen to take him near the island under the cover of darkness, avoiding Navy patrols guarding restricted waters, then used his own kayak to reach shore.
He brought gifts but was met with hostility. As Chau handed over gifts, one young boy shot an arrow that landed in the Bible he was holding. He stumbled back to his kayak and paddled away. ((https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/23/world/asia/andaman-missionary-john-chau.html).
Chau paddled back and forth between the fishing boat and the island for two days before spending the night on the island. The next day, November 16, fishermen saw the islanders dragging Chau's body along the beach.
Why undertake these daring attempts? He wrote his parents, "You guys might think I'm crazy in all this, but I think it's worth it to declare Jesus to these people."
Some bloggers and media members blasted Chau's attempts to reach the Sentinelese.
For example, Tunku Varadarajan's column in The Wall Street Journal: ". . . go easy on the romance and his messy, martyred end. He broke Indian law by entering the country on a tourist visa while pursuing an evangelical mission. Chau's application would have been refused if it so much as mentioned the words "North Sentinel Island" . . .
The headline included, "Leave the Inhabitants of North Sentinel Island Alone" (https://www.wsj.com/articles/death-of-a-missionary-1543176072).
But Chau couldn't. And he didn't. Why? He was convicted these isolated people needed to hear about Jesus.
My, how our society has changed. In 1956, when Jim Elliot and his missionary companions were killed by Acua Indians they attempted to befriend in order to share Jesus, LIFE magazine published a ten-page spread on Elliot's mission and death in Ecuador. Today, evangelistic believers are criticized for arrogantly attempting to impose their views on others. Then, Jim Elliot was a martyr. Today, John Allen Chau was a fool.
Thomas Kidd wrote, "Leave North Sentinel Island Alone makes perfect sense if what you believe about God has nothing to do with your eternal fate. If there is no afterlife . . . then what Chau was doing was the height of foolishness."
However, what if we do believe that there is an afterlife and God gives us a way to live with Him forever? Are we so determined to bring people with us to heaven that we come across as "fools for Christ" (see I Corinthians 4:10, NLT)?
Unfortunately, our less-tolerant society doesn't understand our divine mandate and has little regard for the Bible as God's Word, but what about believers?
Researchers document many Americans hold a positive view of the Bible but don't take time to read it. Despite owning an abundance of Bibles, only 22 percent of Americans read their Bible daily.
Not reading scripture leads to not knowing scripture. Several years ago, a U.S. Congressman was interviewed on "The Colbert Report" and made headlines when he could only name four of the Ten Commandments. Ironically, he was co-sponsoring a bill requiring the Ten Commandments be displayed in the Senate and the House of Representatives (https://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/local/article29130808.html). He's not alone.
We make the Great Commission the Great Omission when we refuse to share the Good News.
Believers agree Jesus issued a divine mandate known as the Great Commission to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28:18-20). Yet studies show that 95 percent of Christians have never led another person to faith in Christ (Laurie, Greg, Tell Someone: You Can Share the Good News, 10).
We make the Great Commission the Great Omission when we refuse to share the Good News.
Do we really believe people are lost apart from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? When we fail to share our faith, then we behave like what David Platt called "functional universalists."
Preaching at the "Every Church, Every Nations Summit," former International Missions Board president Platt stated, "I think many people in the churches we're part of aren't zealous about mission because they don't really believe that people right now are under the wrath of God and will spend eternity under his wrath if we don't get the Gospel to them. They live like we believe that 2.8 billion lost people will eventually end up in heaven . . ." (October 1, 2018, "Every Church, Every Nation Summit," Woodstock, Georgia).
Apparently, John Allen Chau understood the Sentinelese's spiritual condition and took Jesus' command to heart. And his valiant effort cost him his life.

Manicure Monday: OPI The One That Got Away9:00 AM
Here I used a base of OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, 3 coats of The One That Got Away, and Seche Vite top coat. This was a thinner formula that applied easily with my favorite wide brush that OPI polishes have. Each layer also dried quickly.

Literally just finished painting my nails in wait of your Manicure Monday post! I love shimmery nail polishes!ReplyDelete
Nice color Jen, really pretty, suits your complexion :)ReplyDelete
My favorite OPI Color is Linkin Park After Dark. Have you tried Julep? I'm in love with their colors and a lot of the time you only need one coat and the color lasts a long time, especially on natural nails which tend to chip easier, or at least mine do.ReplyDelete
Not usually a fan of cranberry shimmers but I love all of the gold here!ReplyDelete

I agree! This one doesn't have that 90's vibe to it that makes it look dated. It's even prettier in person. :)Delete
Hey Jen, I just stumbled upon your blog today and I really love it!ReplyDelete
This might be a bit off-topic, but I love your hair! I'm a recent transplant to Los Angeles, and I've yet to find a good salon here that knows just how to work with my super fine Asian hair.
Where do you go? Any advice for finding a good salon for Asian hair in LA?Replies
I actually haven't found a hair person in LA yet! I got my hair cut when I flew back to my hometown a few weeks ago. Hopefully a nice reader can give some helpful salon-finding tips!Delete
This is a gorgeous color!ReplyDelete
Oh I love the color so much! It's so pretty! It's perfect for holidays! Do you have a nail tutorial on youtube? I looked but couldn't find one. I love Seche Vite too! It's awesome!ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi Jen!ReplyDelete
Love your MM post as usual! Just wanted to let you know about a new drugstore polish called Revlon Parfumerie if you haven't seen them already. I stumbled across it in a Fred Meyer the other day and bought a dupe of Deborah Lippmann Mermaid Dream. Opaque in 2 coats, and the best part is... ITS SCENTED! and the smell actually lasts all day after the varnish is dried! I tried to research it some online but its apparently only being previewed and figured you might want to take a look at them if you haven't already. Also... the bottles are to freaking die for! They look like miniature perfume bottles! so cute!
This is really pretty! Check out my site for beauty videos and outfits of the day! http://www.berrybeautifullife.com/ReplyDelete
That nail polish looks really nice! BUt I have to say the other glittery nail polish you just got, the expensive one you were looking forwards looks spectacular compared to this oneReplyDelete

Hi Jen!ReplyDelete
Could you do a tutorial on how you trim and shape your nails to such perfection? Your Manicure Monday series posts are awesome! But getting good polishes is one thing, having nice nails to start with is crucial! So yep!
This is my favorite from that Katy Perry collection. In the bottle and on swatches it doesn't look remarkable (been there, done that), but on my nails it is just so lovely.ReplyDelete

Saturday, July 9, 2011, marked a great milestone for the African continent with the birth of a new nation—the Republic of South Sudan. Traditional and contemporary media outlets across the globe highlighted the new nation's independence day celebrations as they unfolded in Juba, South Sudan's capital.
As many countries welcome South Sudan to the United Nations and the world stage, images and voices jubilant with exhilaration light up television screens, Internet-based forums, and all media celebrating the monumental, self-emancipatory process the people of South Sudan have long anticipated.
Watching the people of South Sudan express their joy, excitement, happiness and their sense of freedom was emotionally captivating. The event brought nearly five decades of civil and political unrest between northern and southern Sudan over ideological, religious, and ethnic differences as well as over control of the country's vast oil reserves to a near end—with a few disputes in some regions pending resolution.
One of the most moving events leading up to the independence celebrations happened when South Sudanese school children sang the country's new national anthem. Their sense of pride, heart, and hope was both moving and thought-provoking. It made me wonder how many of them understand the significance of what was happening in their country. Their voices—young, sharp, energetic and animated—blended in well with some occasional pitch up an octave or so and back again weaving into a beautiful backdrop for the events leading up to their new nation's celebrations.
The expressions on these children's faces varied. Some were happy while a few nervously fidgeted due, perhaps in part, to the presence of a TV camera right in front of them. Some were thoughtful, serious, and contemplative while a few were expressionless. Together, their expressions wove a mosaic of mixed, emotional intensity.
Despite this mixture, their collective hope was palpable.
Certainty and uncertainty influences our life experiences and the hope we personally feel. Many of us have been socialized to perceive certainty as stability and uncertainty as instability.
The hope these children hold for the future, I imagine, is probably tied to the expectations they hold toward the adults in their lives—their parents, teachers, leaders and others. That hope might include what they may have already learned about the significance of their country's newfound independence and how it will affect their daily lives. Based on what they have experienced and learned, I imagine, these children have probably painted a picture of what life under the umbrella of a new nation might look like.
I wonder how the path these leaders choose based on their perceptions of certainty and uncertainty will affect the lives and shape the experience of South Sudanese children and adults?
I cannot help but think about the people of other African nations who, like the people of South Sudan, once celebrated sovereignty and independence too only to find themselves deeply deceived and disappointed by failed leadership and questionable government practices. These people continue to feel robbed of their dignity as well as a real chance at making the best out of their lives and the resources in their countries.
I hope the children of South Sudan do not meet the same fate.
The future of these children now rests with South Sudanese leaders, who must choose a path that will steer the young nation away from obstacles such as institutionalized corruption, gross abuse of power, and human rights violations—the same obstacles that continue to shatter the hopes of some African nations.
The need for some leaders to exert control in the face of uncertainty plays a great role in fueling even more uncertainty, anxiety, disorder and dismay. In the 1999 article "It Starts with Uncertainty," Margaret Wheatley and Peman Chondron wrote, "It's time to drop our illusions of control and certainty… order and control are two different phenomena." The writers explained, "In the Western leadership tradition, we believe that order is only available through the control that we exert… that's a great deception in Western thought, and it's been a hindrance in leadership practices."
Over the years, the same thinking described by Wheatley and Chondron has emerged repeatedly in the leadership of several African countries. It is with a deep sense of intention that I hope for the leaders and people of South Sudan to forge a path that will enable them to meet their individual and collective aspirations. A path that will give rise to results that they can feel pride over decades from now. A path that perceives uncertainty as an opportunity to explore creativity and an abundance of possibilities.

Rwanda, The Exodus, November 1996
It's mid July 1994 when Rwandan refugees arrive in Zaire, crossing together the borders. Everyone fled the country in search of safety and of a vague protection. The war is made with the "machete", while the rest of the deaths is caused by cholera. After the massacre, the war, and the hunger, cholera is the greatest scourge, causing about half million victims. Again the border between Zaire and Rwanda is protagonist of human suffering. It's the end of November 1996. After the clashes that took place in the vast field of Goma between the Zairian rebels of Tutsi origin and the Hutu militiamen infiltrated into the fugitive population, the refugees under the pressure of the Zairian government fled the camp-town of Mugunga. For two years Mugunga has been a utopian place for fragile lives at risk. The stream of refugees crosses the threshold marked by the frontier., the one between Goma and Gisegnyi, the region of Kivu. Every minute six thousand people cross the frontier, by now open wiyhout any control. A huge mass of refugees, in complete chaos, invaded Gisegnyi. Crowded to become a measureless throng, the refugees spend several nights and days outdoors, before they were moved to Katale, Kibumba,and Nugunga, districts of Kigali, the capital city.

Kenworth Truck Company is adding a natural gas option for the Kenworth T880, the company's flagship vocational truck.
The Kenworth T880 day cab and 52-inch mid-roof sleeper configurations now can be specified with the factory-installed Cummins Westport ISX12 G 400-hp natural gas engine with 1,450 lb-ft of torque. The ISX12 G is available with manual, automatic and Eaton UltraShift® Plus transmission options, including 10-speed LAS and 13-speed MHP series.
Kenworth T880 Dump
The natural gas option is ideal for Kenworth T880 dump trucks, mixer, refuse, pickup and delivery vehicles, and other applications operating with up to a maximum of 80,000-lb. gross combined vehicle weight (GCVW).
The Cummins Westport ISX12 G can run on either CNG (compressed natural gas) or LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuel systems. The engine uses a maintenance-free, three-way catalyst and does not require a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank, diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. Kenworth works with such companies as Agility Fuel Systems, Trilogy Engineered Solutions, and McNeilus to provide natural gas tanks and fueling systems.
Kenworth T880 52-inch Sleeper
"Kenworth continually expands our product offerings to meet customer needs and requirements," said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director. "The new, natural-gas powered Kenworth T880 especially appeals to vocational fleets and truck operators interested in the T880's excellent durability, reliability and driver comfort combined with cost-efficient natural gas."
The Kenworth T880 also includes an air-assisted hydraulic clutch, complex reflector headlamps, 5-piece Metton® hood for easier and faster repairs, and lightweight, factory-installed lift axles. The T880 uses Kenworth's 2.1-meter wide, stamped aluminum cab, which is robotically assembled. The cab has a comfortable 23 inches of room between the seats.
Kenworth T880 Day Cab
The Kenworth T880 entered full production at late 2013, and is already has become Kenworth's new vocational truck of choice for fleets and truck operators.

NANTES, France—Asteroids are often considered debris, the scraps and odd lumps that went unused in the forming of the planets. But when it comes to Vesta, one of the largest asteroids in our solar system, Chris Russell hardly considers the rock a mere castoff. "I've started calling it the smallest terrestrial planet," said Russell, the principal investigator for NASA's Dawn mission, which sent a spacecraft into orbit at Vesta in July.
Russell and his colleagues gave a sense Monday of why they hold Vesta in such high regard. In a press conference here at a joint meeting of the American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences and the European Planetary Science Congress, researchers working on the Dawn mission announced some of the findings that the spacecraft has collected since entering orbit—findings that make Vesta look considerably more like a world unto itself than a mere leftover. "We found that Vesta is a really interesting alien, small world," said the mission's deputy principal investigator, Carol Raymond of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Vesta is an irregular ellipsoid just 560 kilometers in diameter—too small and odd-shaped to qualify as a dwarf planet. But it seems to have a large metallic core and a basaltic crust, just like Earth. And it bears scars from past geologic shake-ups, most likely triggered by large impacts, including rift valleys, mountainous uplifts and an intriguing belt of grooves near its equator. "It has tectonic features, like on Earth," Russell said.
The asteroid made a particularly interesting target for Dawn because the space rock carries evidence of the history of much of the solar system as well. Vesta-derived meteorites that landed on Earth allowed planetary scientists to measure the asteroid's age in the laboratory, showing that it is one of the oldest large bodies in the solar system. (Because it is small relative to the terrestrial planets, it would have cooled and solidified much more quickly than those bodies.) As such, Vesta provides a valuable lab for studying the materials and processes that formed the planets during the first millions of years in the early solar system.
It now appears that the past four billion years have been quite an interesting time in Vesta's evolution as well. In fact, the asteroid boasts a mountain that Earth cannot match in terms of altitude. A giant peak at the asteroid's south pole, which is currently unnamed, rises roughly 20 kilometers from its base to its summit, about twice the height of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the tallest mountain—from its base on the ocean floor to its peak—on Earth.
"The south polar mountain on Vesta is very, very large—almost as large as the largest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons," Russell said, referring to the towering, roughly 25-kilometer volcanic peak on Mars. "We have not figured out the tectonic cause of the south polar mountain, so that's work ahead of us."
The mountain rises from the center of a large impact basin, but Raymond cautioned that it was too soon to definitively say that the peak is simply a crater with an impact-uplifted center. A large impact in the south billions of years ago did leave one clearly identifiable mark, blanketing the southern hemisphere in ejecta and filling nearby craters. A preliminary chronology analysis based on crater counts across the asteroid shows that something reset the clock on the southern hemisphere long ago. "Ages from some areas in the south appear to be much younger, as much as a billion years younger, than the north," Raymond said.

"Like Father, Like Son."
My eight-year-old nephew, Caleb, is a young comedian with a natural wit about him. At family gatherings he sends his uncles and aunts, cousins and grandparents into fits of side-splitting laughter. Caleb's personality, warmth and outlook can earn the trust and smile of a complete stranger.
Watching Caleb entertain and interact with others is a form of deja vu for me. Caleb's father, my older brother, was just like Caleb growing up. He was the comedian of our family; He was very gregarious and always ready to put a smile on someone's face. Whenever I see Caleb in his classic form, I say to myself, "Like father, like son."
Where did that concept, "Like father, like son," come from? The phrase was not coined after Michael Douglas chose a career in acting like his father, Kirk, nor was it coined after Laila Ali followed in her father, Muhammad's footsteps as a professional boxer. It is an idea which we find in this week's parasha, Vayashev. The parasha begins in a conventional fashion, 37:2 preparing to cite the generations of Jacob's family.
"These are the generations of Jacob." The Torah often begins narrative chapters with the words, "These are the Chronicles". Twelve chapters earlier, the Bible tells the chronicles of Isaac using the exact same phraseology. But, our parasha does something peculiar in the second verse of chapter 37.
"These are the generations of Jacob, Joseph was seventeen years old and was a shepherd with his brothers among the flock."
Why does the Torah skip directly to Joseph when listing the chronology of Jacob's children? After all, Jacob had twelve sons. Why would the other eleven sons go unmentioned? Why does the text focus solely on Joseph? The next verse, chapter 37, verse 3, gives a hint as to why Joseph was singled out.
"Now Israel (Jacob) loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age;"
Jacob favored Joseph over his other children. I have vivid memories of asking my mother and father which one of my three brothers was their favorite. My parents always had the same answer. "You are all our favorite," they would say. "We love you all very much and equally." As I grew up, I found that all parents I encountered claimed the same equal distribution of love for their children that my parents proudly professed.
If parents are supposed to love their children equally then why does Jacob break the unwritten parental oath and choose a favorite?
In chapter 22, verse 2 of Genesis, God tests Abraham and tells him,
"Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, take Isaac and go to the land of Moriah."
According to the peshat, the literal translation of the text, Abraham also had a favorite son, Isaac. However, according to Rashi, the eleventh century commentator, the lengthy description of Abraham's son is actually a two-sided conversation of which the reader only hears one side – God's. In his commentary on chapter 22:2, Rashi fills in the responses of Abraham.
God says to Abraham, "Take your son."
Abraham replies, "I have two sons."
God says, "Take your son that is an only child."
Abraham replies, "They are each only children to their respective mothers."
God says, "Take the son you love."
Abraham replies, "I love them both equally."
Finally, God says, "Take Isaac."
Rashi, explains that the verse is half a dialogue and in fact Abraham loves his two children equally, as we would expect.
If we follow Rashi's understanding of Genesis 22:2, from where does Jacob learn the precedent of favoring a child? And, equally important, Why Joseph? Jacob has twelve sons to choose from, why would he select number eleven to be the chosen son?
Our commentators ask the same question and a few answers are offered. The verse in Genesis says that Joseph was beloved because he was, Ben Zekunim Lo, he was born to Jacob at an old age. If that is the case, why isn't Benjamin, the youngest child the favorite? Furthermore, according to the chronology of the text, Zevulun and Issachar are only a few years older than Joseph. So why the tremendous distinction?
Onkelos, one of the earliest translators of the Hebrew Bible to Aramaic, infers from the phrase, Ben Zekunim Lo, that Joseph had unique wisdom for someone his age, reading the Hebrew word Zaken as an acronym for the Talmudic dictum, Zeh SheKaNah Chachmah, one who has acquired wisdom.
Rashi and Nachmanidies, suggest that Ben Zekunim Lo, sounds like the phrase Zeev Eekonin Lo, which means, (Joseph) had a fine appearance, (similar to his father's). According to this tradition, Joseph was a handsome man who bore a strong resemblance to his father.
There has to be more than resemblance for Joseph to graduate as valedictorian of Jacob's family. One could convincingly argue that Joseph was a child of Jacob's true love, Rachel, and that biological composition made him special. Rachel was Jacob's beloved wife for whom he labored fourteen years to earn the permission to marry. But, Benjamin, Joseph's younger brother was also a product of Rachel's womb. Why is Joseph favored over Benjamin?
Perhaps it is because Jacob and Joseph shared much more than good looks. They had similar lives. Both Jacob and Joseph's mothers had trouble conceiving and when they finally did conceive, both of their mothers had two sons. Jacob and Joseph both had brothers who hated them and even sought to kill them. Jacob and Joseph were both shepherds and they were both promoted in the eyes of God through a dream. These are similarities that Jacob shared only with Joseph.
Contemporary parents often encourage their daughters and sons to make decisions. Whether it is to follow a career path or buy a specific home, attend a certain college or to make particular investment decisions, many parents try to be the rudder of a child's life. Often the children hear from their parents, "If I only knew at your age what I am telling you now."
Parents try to deflect danger that lies in their child's path and they seek to propel them down the road of evident triumphs, because they recognize that road as one they have traveled. Many times we look at our children as we wished we could once look at ourselves – wanting to fix all of our shared mistakes and helping them to make all the right decisions. Little do we realize that going down those paths and making those mistakes were the ingredients that led us to broader experiences and increased wisdom both individually and as a people.
We are about to inaugurate a new president of the United States of America. This president-elect's father, who previously held the same office, must look at his son with great pride. Surely, he will want to offer advice and counsel in an effort to steer him away from pitfalls that troubled his own presidency at the same time encouraging him to embrace challenges that helped him succeed a decade ago. George W. Bush has even been staffing several major posts of his administration with people who were close associates of his father's. Many of us watching George W. Bush's cabinet take shape are thinking deja vu, or perhaps, 'Like father like son.'
This week's parasha teaches us that when we look at our children we are actually looking back in time at ourselves. Maybe the environment is different or the scenario varied, but the situation, at its core is the same. Joseph found favor in his father's eyes because Jacob saw himself in his son. The same facial structures, familial dissent, personal struggles and life altering dreams were lived again, vicariously, through Joseph.
As we read and watch Joseph grow and struggle in the chapters that follow, and as we look at presidential candidates, actors, boxers and my nephew Caleb, we say, 'Like father, like son.' We see ourselves in our children, witnessing similar mistakes and shared destinies. May God give us the strength when looking at our progeny and seeing shades of ourselves in yesteryear, to realize that our commonalties between father and daughter, mother and son link our proverbial chain to the successes and shortcomings of our ancestors of the Bible.
Shabbat Shalom U'Mevorach ve-Hag Urim Sameah,
Rabbi David-Seth Kirshner

Safety Not Guaranteed
|Safety Not Guaranteed
|Original YTMND:
|Safety Not Guaranteed
|by axlbonbach
|October 27, 2005
|Worthy Spinoffs:
|Used Music:
Safety Not Guaranteed is a fad that originated from a newspaper ad from a person asking for someone to accompany him in time travel. The exact ad is as follows:
"Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 322 Oakview, CA 93022. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before."
An image of a stone-faced young man wearing a mullet is placed on the left of the text, although this was not included in the original newspaper advertisement. The ad, which insists that it is not a joke and even provides contact information, warns that a potential respondent's safety is not guaranteed as he only tried once before; the image is accompanied by Paul Engemann's song "Push It To The Limit" from the movie Scarface (1983). The nature of the man's hair and serious tone of the ad (This is not a joke) adds to the humor.
Fad Structure
Safety Not Guranateed sites come in 3 different varieties:
- Some sites will show the traveler in different time periods starting with the civil war. Most recently this has evolved into a variant of the Wikipedia Vandalism Fad, in which users would try to edit wikipedia material such as the "safety" entry, with such footnotes as "when you push it to the limit, safety is not guaranteed". [1]
- Some sites will parodize the original ad for other people.
- Other sites will show the Time Traveler in action either traveling back in time or assiting other people.
The song "Scarface (Push It To The Limit)" is on Volume 8 of the YTMND Soundtrack. Most fad sites including the original "Safety Not Guaranteed" have the entire 3 minute song.
The Time Traveler has become a popular icon of YTMND. Several fad spin offs placed the Traveler in various time periods.
The fad mixed with the PTKFGS fad, with the creation of Safety Not Guaranteed Changes Internet History, which depicted the Time Traveler going back in time and replacing YTMND with PTKFGS, creating the Alternate Universe Fad. It also had its own PTKFGS version, Security Not Ensured.
On January 16, 2006, YTMND user scrow, posted a picture he claims he found in his attic. This picture seems to show the same man, mullet and all, taken during the American Civil War.
Within this investigation, vex5 claims that after calling the number of those believed to own the P.O. box, he received very suspicious reactions. When asked about time travel, the person on the other end of the phone allowed a short pause, replied "never call here again" and hung up the phone.
Another YTMND user, guano, called the same number, getting the answering machine. He announced that the message asks to "leave a message for Mark, Debra... also, Moses or Caesar!"
Since this announcement, several others have tried calling, also getting the same message. Some have even managed to record it.
In response to these calls, the answering machine message has been changed to say that this number has nothing to do with "Time travel" or "Going back in time". It also asks for the persons who started the fad's name and number to be stated so that she can turn him over to the proper authorities. This was too late however, for many to hypothesize that Moses and Caesar are the actual Moses and Caesar of history, giving more evidence to the argument that perhaps somebody has actually gone back through time. However, as the time traveler has only done it once before, he would have been unable to have gotten both Moses and Caesar, or either if he had gone to the Civil War. Unless, of course, his one experience consisted of him jumping across time to several different periods before returning to his own.
Some argument remains as to where the original "Safety not Guaranteed" photo came from. Many believe, with the civil war photo, that this may actually be the time traveler himself, and that the woman who answers the phone is possibly his mother. It is now known that the woman is just an old woman from Southern California named Debra. Moses and Caesar are just her pet dog and bird. This is in contrast to Maybe my safety isn't, in which someone calling asked for Ceasar, and was given a person, not a dog or bird. Mark, being the only name left in the original message that still has no person to be identified with, is now presumed to be this man's name. However, research says he was born in 1953, only a few years older than Debra. His name is also rumored to be Dwane Jones (Brother of Allen Jones).
Recently, user I-Found-The-Mullet-Man claimed he'd actually found and gone to the house in the ad and found an empty lot, but found a piece of paper on a fence linking the "mullet man" with another time traveling legend "John Titor". I-Found-The-Mullet-Man's site can be seen here: saftey guarantee found. However the creator has been ridiculed to be falsely claiming this because, amongst other things, his site is very badly done, but is open to be seen for yourself
Safety Not Guaranteed outside YTMND
In June 2006, user michaelwolfson and his friends made a short film about the story of mullet man.[2]. The fad also appears to have made it into the The Movies community, where someone has created a movie called 'Safety Not Guaranteed' which contains several references to YTMND.
The online game "World of Warcraft" has also given caution to the need for safety while travelling through (the Caverns of) Time. Mousing over the dragon on the 'Caverns of Time' page warns that Safety is Not Guaranteed.

While SNG sites are rarely created, there have been numerous effortless attempts at a SNG site. These might be "lazy edits" with text or poorly-done photoshopping involving the head of the Mullet Man.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
sure, this is nice, but where is the "impressive" part?br Hari
We can provide what is needed for LinuxMCE with PocketSphinx, a set of DCE devices, and some elbow grease. I'll do it at some point when I get to it, unless someone else takes on the task. -Thom
Impressive is in the zen geek part, and also the part that siri can be hacked to do anything that apple didn't intend. This is no direct comparison to lmce project if that is what you are inferring.

The Pixhawk digital differential airspeed sensor has a very low offset, a high resolution and, best of all, does not suffer from the noise induced by long cables and offsets in the ratio-metric output on the APM 2.6 analog airspeed sensor.
Featuring a Measurement Specialties 4525DO sensor, with 1 psi measurement range (roughly up to 100 m/s or 360 km/h or 223 mp/h), the Pixhawk Airspeed Sensor Kit enables a resolution of 0.84 Pa, with data delivered at 14 bits from a 24 bit delta-sigma ADC. It also measures temperature to allow calculation of true airspeed from indicated airspeed using the MS5611 static pressure sensor on Pixhawk. Not influenced by the heat of nearby processing components, it is much closer to the air temperature than with previous analog sensor setups. Supported on all Pixhawk and PX4 autopilot generation boards, this kit comes with M3 / 6-32 mounting holes.

Yo, Hoo-Bangin' niggas offcials for the year 2G
I want y'all niggas to say hello to the bad nigga, uh
Hoo-Bangin', what's up
Ya know this ??? muthafucka's life ain't shit
Right here
Creepin' up on your ass
For the year 2G
Must be murder
Nighttime vision, my hot nine catching you while you sleep
It's critical nigga, it's too deep
Fuck, your talk is cheap, paid to sweep
Ya know this killa nigga from the west side of the street
Old school fool, pack choose the rules
Confrontation, confront blazing tool
My mighty black sword is ready to duel
No sympathy when punishment's include
Back the fuck up, niggas, I act up
Homerun-hitter, the quick nine-spitter
When my mind starts playing tricks and flashbacks
Of seein porno flicks, done criminal acts
Y'all ain't touching my squad
Run the whole yard, anybody disguised, pulling your card
Mock my life, nigga, it's too hard
Ready for battle in the streets, you get scarred
Must - be murder
Hoo-Bangin' for life ain't no joke
Must be murder
Reppin' the West, so watch the gun smoke
I know my momma be praying her Lord save me
I bail the street with the strap, the homie daily
You're crazy, y'all ain't from my spot, so push
Before your dead body's recovered, multiple shots
You speak by your weak position, thinkin' you're strong
You're wrong, nigga, watch my killa ambition
Touch ya, Hoo-Bang niggas who ride
Who roll on your side ready to die
Who lights up your life with hot flames
Real straight game, thug life's the game
Gettin' it, never pretending since the beginning
Niggas like me keeps the world spinnin'
I ain't done yet, enemies don't tempt me
Unload episodes until my clip empty
Y'all ain't gettin' the front line
Your front line, you can save conversation with my nine
Criminal mind, but this time a West Coast loc
Can't stand a Compton nigga slangin' slugs like fuckin coke
Money made the illegal way, I roll the Regal way
Brown paper bag full of baggies to maintain
Just can't stay away from hood niggas
Hood bitches, hood towns and hood sounds
Fuck anybody who disrespect get chin-checked
Fly like a eagle, the hollows hit the deck
Expect the worst in the hood if you gon' kick it
Doors open, murder show, go get your ticket
Sly, slick and wicked, bullets ready to rico-
chet off your body, they toe tag, they stick it
The guns ready to straight catch ya
Murder was the case, trying to hide my face
Evil as they come
I clicks the fuckin' nine gun, y'all fools best to run
Hoo-Bangin's official
You know how the fuck we do it
Real niggas
In the Y2K
Doin' what the fuck we gotta do
Y'all niggas perpetrating
You know, keep it thug over here
You know, keep it thug right here, Hoo-Bangin' official
Y'all niggas is just like us
Real niggas on the block is how we keep it
Never fakin' the funk
4-5's and 9's catchin' you, nigga
Till the day we die, fool

On December 5-6, 2013, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) returned to Leyte Province in the Philippines to distribute relief goods among survivors of Typhoon Yolanda, or Haiyan, as the storm is known outside of our country. UMCOR is an agency of the global United Methodist Church and is in charge of relief operations whenever there is a natural or a human-caused calamity.
Super Typhoon Yolanda hit Eastern, Central, and Western Visayas on November 8, 2013. It devastated the entire region. Thousands of lives were lost, and livelihoods were washed away. UMCOR staff and volunteers first came with a relief convoy to the region about a week after the storm.
When they came again in early December, they distributed relief goods in several communities, including where we have local United Methodist churches. UMCOR's emergency food packages were distributed to many survivors in the communities who were in need. I accompanied the UMCOR staff and volunteers on this visit to Ormoc City, Isabel, and Tacloban City.
The families served by UMCOR on this relief trip expressed gratitude that our United Methodist Church remembered them in times of calamity. We saw an inspiring banner in Ormoc City that read: "Homeless, Roofless, But NOT HOPELESS!"
When I visited Methodist households just before Christmas, I also stopped in to see some of the neighbors who do not belong to the church and who had received UMCOR food packets. Many of them had saved the bright yellow UMCOR bags that had contained rice, beans, and other food items.
I was so surprised to see the bags hanging on walls in the homes. When I asked the families why they displayed the bags they said, "It reminds us that UMCOR gave us something different, something more than we would normally get." UMCOR fills the emergency food packages according to international humanitarian standards.
Some of the people also took pictures of the contents of the bags and kept the picture to help them remember. That made me happy, because our church, through UMCOR, responded to the survivors. "You are a church that remembers," they said.
I personally, and on behalf of The United Methodist Church in the Eastern Visayas District, thank UMCOR. Indeed, UMCOR gave us their time and concern, for we too are survivors of Super Typhoon Yolanda.

During the merge, you mustn't try to edit the A and B buffers yourself. Emerge modifies them temporarily, but ultimately puts them back the way they were.
You can have any number of merges going at once--just don't use any one buffer as input to more than one merge at once, since the temporary changes made in these buffers would get in each other's way.
Starting Emerge can take a long time because it needs to compare the
files fully. Emacs can't do anything else until
diff finishes.
Perhaps in the future someone will change Emerge to do the comparison in
the background when the input files are large--then you could keep on
doing other things with Emacs until Emerge is ready to accept
After setting up the merge, Emerge runs the hook
emerge-startup-hook (see section AD.2.3 Hooks).

KAL with LA
When starting the hood, the pattern has you place the held stitches from front and back onto needles and then knit the first row with some increases. I found there to be too big of a gap between the front and back stitches so I followed a suggestion from Connie. What I did instead was to pick up some extra stitches – the number will vary depending on what size you are knitting – between the front neck sts and the back neck sts. You want enough to close the gap but not too many. Then in the next couple rows work some decreases to get rid of the extra stitches.
Make sure you are maintaining the ribbing pattern. And be sure to place a marker to mark the center of the hood.
On the 5th row you will begin the hood increases at the center marker. You are working a double increase at this point. I kept it simple and worked 'knit into front and back of stitch' on the next two stitches on either side of the marker. You want to maintain your ribbing pattern as you add stitches – after you have added 4 purls, the next added stitch will be a knit.
Work until the hood is 11 ¾", ending with a wrong side row. Then you will split the left and right sides of the hood, work some short rows to shape it and finish it by doing a 3-needle bind off.
That's it! You're done (well, don't forget to weave in the ends). I blocked the sweater one more time so the sleeves and hood would get their turn at being blocked and the sweater would look whole.
WEBS is open 12/26 11:00am-5:00pm.
We'll be closing at 4:00pm on 12/24.
