So I have a Lenovo Laptop (1TB, 4 GB RAM, AMD) running windows 8.1, and I've basically spent the past day trying to get Ubuntu dual-boot up-and-running on my laptop (I need it to run programs for school), but I seem to be remarkably adept at being stonewalled.
Here's a summary of the sweaty deathmatch with the computer to date:
I disabled quickstart and the UEFI secure boot thingy, and downloaded Ubuntu 13.10 (desktop amd x64) onto a 4 GB USB stick, using the universal USB installer 220.127.116.11. I partitioned 50 GB for it, which is now sitting unused. I restarted the computer holding F12, and then again mashing F12, and then all that again with F1, but for some reason I consistantly failed to bring up any special boot menu (if anybody's got anything on that, that would be much appreciated, although that's not the primary problem here).
So I found the advanced startup (inside PC settings), and I did that, and I was able to boot from my USB no problem ('run but don't install' option). It gave me the Ubuntu boot screen (purple fill with the ubuntu symbol and the four loading dots), and then cut to the black screen with the white text (you can tell that I know nothing about software) complaining about kernel problems. So I did it again, this time reformatting the USB drive and installing Ubuntu 12.04 with unetbootin.
When I restarted with the 12.04 USB, it told me that it was 'unable to find a medium containing a live file system', or something like that. So then I switched from the USB port 3.0 to the USB 2.0 and tried again. It did not show any error message, but it still dumped me in the same dark-bg-white-text screen with a command prompt, instead of any legible desktop. (as near as I can tell, this is the closest I've gotten to getting Ubuntu functional).
I tried disabling every mention of UEFI I could find in the troubleshooting menu (I had already gone in there previously to disable SafeStart), and restarting it in legacy mode But when I did that I got the 'unable to find medium' error, regardless of which USB port I used.
So I reverted to UEFI mode and tried a different tack; I downloaded Wubi, 18 GB. But I got this error message:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_info'. For more information, please see the log file: c:\users\lukemacy\appdata\local\temp\wubi-12.04.3-rev.279.log
And I know that this bug is very similar to a known bug (if not the same bug entirely), which has had fixes posted by helpful users like yourselves. The problem is I have no idea what those fixes, with their technical jargon, meant. Also, the standard bug typically points to a different wubi file (26-something, as opposed to my 279), although I don't know whether that's important.
Anyway, that about sums up my day so far. I'm so inept! If anybody has noticed some way I'm ruining everything or just knows what to do, any help would be most appreciated! Except I have to ask that the explanation be in small words; I'm afraid I can't understand your mysterious technical sorcery language.
Thanks so much!

Rajon Rondo: The evolution of a star
When Rajon Rondo is on top of his game, everything comes down to yo-yo's.
The game's like a yo-yo in his hands. The ball's like a yo-yo in his fingertips. He can walk the dog, put it around the world, even rock the baby. When Rondo's yo-yo'ing around, the game is his. Everyone else is too slow. No opponent can keep up. It's like he's a grown man on a playground with little kids, only the little kids are all taller and stronger than he. But they aren't faster, they don't have better court vision, and they aren't in control. They don't have the game at their fingertips. Not like Rondo does.
"I would just take Rondo," Doc Rivers said when asked who he'd choose if he had his choice of one point guard. "I wouldn't even look at another point guard. There are some great point guards in the league, we've seen a couple of them the last two games, in Deron Williams and Chauncey Billups. But we have Rondo and he's my guy."
It hasn't always been that way. Three seasons ago, he backed up Sebastian Telfair as Boston stumbled to a 24-58 season. Even two seasons ago, Rondo was the weak link in the Celtics' starting five. Sam Cassell was signed midway through the season as a backup point guard, and the hope was that Cassell would play well enough to supplant Rondo as an end-of-game option. It didn't work out. Cassell flopped, launching brick after brick, losing Doc's confidence along the way. But that didn't mean Rondo's job of closing out games was safe. When push came to shove, and the Celtics needed to close out playoff wins, Eddie House often heard his number called.
Last season was different. Rondo emerged as one of the league's up-and-coming stars with a breakout postseason. Paired against Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose and then a hungry Orlando defense, Rondo alerted the world what he's always believed, in that self-confident heart of his: Number Nine will eat you alive. He dropped 16.9 points, 9.8 assists, and 9.7 rebounds per game, as he wrestled control of the Celtics from the two Big Three members standing. It wasn't so much that there was a struggle for power, so much that Rondo seized it with little resistance. The conch was his, and he earned it the right way: By outplaying whatever opponent stood in front of him.
But there were rumbles of discontent. Rondo was fined for being late to a playoff game. He was labeled a troublemaker in the locker room, a disruptive force. "We need him to be more of a leader," said Danny Ainge at the time. "He's got to grow up in some cases." Bob Ryan wrote, "He's not some awful person, but let's just say he has his ways, and he sometimes grates on teammates, coaching staff, and management." Part of the solution on the floor, Rondo was deemed a problem off it.
Ainge looked into trading the young star in the offseason. His name was involved in rumors with the Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies, among other teams. Less than two months after being a nightly triple-double, Rondo was unsure if he'd ever play another game as a Celtic.
Not that it affected his preparation. After draft night passed and Ainge hadn't pulled the trigger on any trades, it became clear that Rondo would stay with the only NBA organization he'd ever played for. Did he harbor grudges? Not on the surface, at least. Instead of pouting during the offseason, Rondo put on 11 pounds of muscle. Rather than fire back at Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers verbally, Rondo kept his mouth shut and returned to camp a different player. Scratch that, a different teammate. Where others might have rebelled at the criticisms, Rondo took them to heart. He changed his ways. He remodeled himself to be better for his team.
And it showed on the court. From day one this season, Rondo has been the Celtics' leader. With his play, with his words, everything. "It's weird," Nate Robinson said of Rondo's role on the team. "You've got Rondo running the show, you've got KG, and he's a vet. It's like you got a guy out here, young guy, running the show, and the vets and everybody are just listening and just try to play together." The team that tried to get rid of him, now listening to his orders. The locker room he once disrupted, heeding his advice.
Boston rewarded his new attitude and improved play with a 5-year, $55 million contract extension. The NBA recognized him as an All-Star. He just broke Rick Fox's Celtics single-season record for steals, and will soon erase Bob Cousy's Celtics single-season assists record. With those two records, Rondo's evolving maturity, and elite rebounding rarely seen from a point guard, Rondo's season is one of the best a point guard has compiled in the Celtics' storied history. Right there with Cousy's prime years.
"[Rondo has] grown up before everybody's eyes," said Garnett, who has always contended that Rondo could become one of the league's top point guards. "You want your point guard setting the tone every night. You want your point guard leading [you]. It's great to watch because I've seen him when he was quiet, hiding in the corner, didn't say two words. Sometimes we sort of miss that."
Garnett's only kidding about missing the old Rajon Rondo, the one who used to hide in the corner, come late to games, and scrape only the surface of his vast potential. That Rondo isn't coming back. A maturation process has left a new Rondo, a better Rondo, a Rondo prepared to carry his team into tomorrow, and lead them today.
The wild thing about his evolution, the scary part for the rest of the NBA, is that Rondo will only get better. He's improved by leaps and bounds every year, in every aspect. Each night, the team falls a little more into his control, as he continues the process of receiving the torch from the Big Three. The Boston Celtics aren't yet completely his, but they will be.
And when they are, the Celtics will be in good hands.
Just like the yo-yo attached to his fingertips.

Kids want to hear about life and love from parents
Posted By Jennie Chancey on October 3, 2011
Another great piece from Carolyn Moynihan at Mercatornet:
It is complusory for New Zealand schools to provide sex education, but the programme is up to each school and is supposed to be worked out in consultation with the parent community. Parents can withdraw their children from classes. However, it is clear that parents do not know the half of what is presented in some programmes.
Of course, education about sex is the parent's task first and foremost, and when I looked at research I had filed, it was clear that parents recognise this. Moreover, their kids want to hear it from them — and, it is more effective coming from them when done properly….
These important topics, involving values and individual differences, are clearly best dealt with in ongoing, one-to-one conversations between parent and child. It is what parents and children want. As a matter of principle, parents are the first educators of their children, especially in everything to do with values, morality and the formation of a child's character. And, anyway, the evidence shows they are more effective.
Click HERE to read the full op-ed Carolyn wrote for an NZ paper (which they declined to print). Not for very young readers, but definitely important for parents!

Cure Dark Eye Circles: Q&A
Last Modified on Jun 17, 2007
Juniper an Option?
06/17/2007: Anonymous : Hi Ted... came across a website about dark circles but im not sure if its safe to try or if it is effective can u please give me your opinion about it? thank you! ; http://ezinearticles.com/?Juniper-Tree-And-The-Dark-Circles-Under-The-Eyes&id=576185
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: The juniper remedy for used as a dark circles under the eyes only works if the eyes are assumed to be puffy. Since juniper berries and extracts works by the action of diuretic. Since I don't have any idea what your dark circles look liked, whether they are puffy or whether they are hollow and dark, juniper isn't going to work for hollow and dark circles under the eyes. Now for the puffiness of the eyes, those are congestions, more than too much water retention. The fact that juniper rids of water retention doesn't really resolve the cause of the dark circles.
As mentioned before there are many causes. One instance is the dark circles were formed assuming dark and hollow is the accumulation of toxins. Those kind of dark circles works with adding 6-12 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the drinking water all throughout the day.
On the other hand if a woman has a menstruation where the blood is regularly brown and dark. Then that is the sign of body cannot get rid of it due to excess clotting and stickiness of blood platelets as being the cause. In that case vitamin E, and drinking green tea WITH NO sugar NO FRUCTOSE, and NO MILK. The green tea or certain strong chinese tea will remove the excess iron out, and the vitamin E, and sometimes aspirin will prevent blood clotting removing the circulatory problems
In another instances, a dark circles with tiny dark veins, which is a sign that works similarly to varicose veins, but only occurs in the eyes. A remedy for that requires sodium ascorbate vitamin C 1000 mg (or rose hips) and baking soda 1/4 teaspoon twice a day.
While it is difficult to cover the entire universe of dark circles under they eyes, such as hormonal cause, adrenal exhaustion, that would be licorice extract taken for a couple of weeks! Or to remove congestion from stress then it would be once a week DHEA.
The general remedy will always be alkalization which also clears the eliminations as being the simplest of the remedy. One possible remedy that can clear some congestions of dark circle that you might try is to apply apple cider vinegar under the eyes, lightly. Those are not only cheaper and easily available but also if it stings or you don't like it, you can rinse them off. If for some instance apple cider vinegar is not available sometimes I used distilled white vinegar. While it won't completely remove them, it helps a lot. Those are applied thinly and wiped off excesses and done only overnight. You should see some improvement the next day.
It must be noted that if dark circles under the eyes are due constantly staining sweat. Certain microbes exist in the glandular system. For that kind of remedy I just recently found that just drinking plenty of green tea for a couple of weeks (not too much, may cause constipation, but can be stopped by adding a pinch of baking soda and a tiny amount of sea salt) will have the same effect as juniper berries, but much better because it removes the microbes that causes stains, which over the long term leads to dark circles.
If it is a dark circles caused by somewhat of an age spots, then I would apply colorless iodine and use that as a cleaning solution to apply thinly to the area. However before doing that, I would try to apply to other inconspicuous areas so that I might not have a skin reaction. If I don't then I used that as a skin cleaning solution and drink some green tea to cleanse the microbes that creates staining which causes some dark circles or other area as it removes both microbes and free metal iron efficiently.
Finally I have received reports of people doing oil pulling that resulted in removal of dark circles. But of course, it also cause colon cleansing in some cases and as a result when the toxins were remove, the dark circles goes away.
I am not short remedies for dark circles, usually I am short for time!
07/16/2009: Amee from Mangalore, India replies: Hi
Came to this site by chance and I am a great believer of natural foods and remedies. I read up on your sections and looked around to see if there was anything for my not so big but irritating problem. I have dark circles with eye bags to boot which is making me look older. Been carrying them for years now. The place I live at does not have this extract. I managed to find an ACV though i am not too sure it is organic (American Garden) Should I just take this one and Green tea ?? Your help would be appreciated
Child with Expanding Circles
06/06/2007: B from Hyderabad, India: Just found EARTH CLINIC. very interesting. When my daughter was 2-3yrs old I noticed she was developing dark circles under her eyes. I consulted a paediatrician who just laughed it away saying it was hereditary (I also have dark circles). But as she is growing up, now she is 8, her circles are becoming darker and spreading down almost to half her cheeks. I consulted other dr. who did blood, urine and stool tests and gave iron tonics but no use. Otherwise she a a very healthy and normal child any explanation for this condition and remedies will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: Dark circles under eyes, in my own experience is the issue of dehydration, not drinking enough water, excess congestion from irregular bowel movements (2 bowel movements a day for me is a good sign of health), and certain deficiencies of vitamin C, vitamin E, iodine, omega 3 and evening primrose oil, being the ones I encountered the most. In some cases it was due to lactose intolerance and milk sensitivites which leads to dark circles under the eyes.
The most common problem is actually dehydration, since you live in an area where weather is tropical. A good way to tell if the body is dehydrated leading up to dark circles under the eyes is that the urine conductivity (there is a pocket urine conductivity measured and usually the conductivity normal urine could be anywhere from 4200-4900 microsiemens. Now people who regularly have dark circles under their eyes have a urine conductivity over the roof, exceeding 9000 microsiemens. In which case drinking twice more would have resolve the problems.
The second most common problem is irregular bowel movements from excess acidity which prevents the body from ridding of excess toxins which result in congestion around the eyes. As a result taking 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/4 glass of water taken twice a day would help. (they will like take half of the adult dose) I do have reports of dark circles under the eyes disappearing from alkalization not just using baking soda but also from apple cider vinegar and baking soda.
The third most common problem is buildup of toxins that the body simply cannot get rid off. Now I once had a fairly dark circles under the eyes and I was actually helped by adding several drops of hydrogen peroxide to remove the toxins that the body have difficulty. What it does is basically neutralize them and get rid of them. One possible remedy and people do have different tolerance, but for me I prefer 6-12 drops of 3% H2O2 in 1/2 glass of water taken 3 or 4 times a day. For a child dose I think 3-6 drops for child dose would be relatively better. The remedy if mentioned here tends to be on the conservative side and it is usually best to start at least for me in the beginning at 3 drops (before upgrading to 6 drops) of 3% H2O2 food grade in 1/2 glass of water. If hydrogen peroxide is unavailable, ozonating the room, applying a 1% hydrogen peroxide for by using cotton buds on the face area, but avoiding the eyes may also help clear the skin.
I do also seen a woman's face of muddy complexion had a glow after applying and taking internally of evening primrose oil of just one capsule taken twice a day, which is high in gamma linoleic acid. Omega 3 may also help which is found in fish, such as fish oil. Certain parts of India, as I recall rarely eat fish and sea food, and it is why omega 3, kelp (iodine), and evening primrose is on the top of the list. Finally, lack of energy the apple cider vinegar and baking soda would have resolved the problems, but on the other hand, vitamin E, vitamin C, or getting the level of antioxidant up, and improving circulation can also help.
Last but not least blood may have certain microbes that causes congestion, and a simple remedy for that is take green tea NO SUGAR, NO FRUCTOSE, NO MILK, three times a day should help improve salivary flow, as well as glandular flows in about a couple of days, and remove some excess iron also. Now excess iron, free radical can also lead to congestion too, which tannins from green tea can resolve since it is an efficient chelator of FREE metal iron, too much leads to congestion.
There might be more, but those are the ones I encountered personally. While this may not answered everything the issue of congestion (bowel movement & dehydration) and acidosis is the most common issue. In some cases drinking some electrolytes with magnesium just a few times can correct that, but not necessarily be taken everyday. Once a week should be more than sufficient, especially if weaknesses is seen
08/29/2010: Erin from Clearwater, Fl replies: Often dark circles under the eyes means you have allergies. The top two most common allergies is sugar and/or wheat. I took all refined sugar out of my diet and avoided enriched white flours for about two months and I not only felt better physically and mentally but the dark circles under my eyes went away. I hope this helps!
Nothing Works After Years of Trying!
10/09/2006: Karin from Munich, Germany: Dear Ted, My sister has had for years extremely dark circles around her eyes and has done anything to make it disappear. Pls advise. Thank you, Karin from Germany
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: Dear Karin: This is a tough one, my achilles heal is cosmetic cures!
Dark circles under the eyes: is the issue of congestion, micro damaged capillaries, and oxidative build up that the body cannot rid itself.
When congestion occurs an imbalance sets in causing toxic buildup, which again can come from constipation, lack of sleep, doing desk jobs, and anything that would promote congestion. The cure is obvious, stop congestion by promoting circulation, reduce toxic buildup, and provide the body with nutrients needed for healing of damaged tissues!
1. Promoting Circulation. There are several ways to promote circulation that will reduce congestion. I get away from my desktop computer and point my head looking up 90 degrees and stay there for a couple of seconds.
When I do this the circulation congestion buildup flows back into the body. There are several critical points which bring up congestion, first is facial massage around the sinus and the neck area below the ear where circulations needs to be drained.
The other possibility is to do a neck exercise, slowly of course, nodding forward, backwards, left, and finally right, three to four times each. Then circle your neck counterclockwise a couple of times slowly again then clockwise a couple of times. This will really help. The secret is to do it SLOWLY, and do as often as you like. No limitations. It helps with the neck and top back pain a lot, because this is my common area of congestion.
When people do not get enough sleep, yes it is easy to blame lack of sleep, people tend to overlook something else. With lack of sleep or rest, people do not drink enough water! So just drink enough water, to get the circulation moving!
Of course, there other extreme of dark circles is too much water water retention. In this case it is due to eating too much salty snacks or taking medicine which can bring on edema. If the issue is too much water retention, then taking certain supplements which will cause ridding of excess of water will be helpful. Sometimes you can take diuretics, for me I just take 1 teaspoon of baking soda to reduce some constipation. Of course, if you want to rid of a lot of water, which I don't recommend except for emergency is 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt to 1/2 glass of water. This could cause loose stools. Once that happens you can drink more water, but stay away from fried foods, salty snacks, etc. Taking some electrolyte drinks, sometimes called Oral Rehydration therapy, could also restore some electroytic imblances too. You can also prepare at your home with the recipes here:
2. Reduce Toxic buildup. Reducing toxic buildup is something like a Yin and Yang approach. You need to reduce toxic buildup both ways to really work. First the Yin, which requires oxidative therapy, such as 1 glass of water, add 5-6 drops of 3% H2O2. Take it for a couple of times until you begin notice increased energy and circulation and notice that your skin starts clearing up. A longer term, at least for me required I drink it for a couple of days, or you can do shorter term, like only a day. So this is just the Yin of it. Hydrogen peroxide is well known for detoxification of various insecticides, pathogens, bugs, chemical toxins that buildup in your body for sometime. It destroys them by oxidation. There was an outstanding underground video from Taiwan which demonstrated that insecticide no longer exists upon ozonation of meats and vegetables in water for only a couple of minutes. So not only can you try peroxide, you can also ozonate your room.
Now the Yang of it. This requires a mild detoxification by reduction, as opposed to oxidation. The simplest one I can come up with is the following:
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda + 1 whole lemon + 1/2 glass of water taken twice, once in the bedtime and once in the morning. Or use ascorbic acid of 1/2 teaspoon in place of whole lemon is up to you. The reading of the Oxidation Reduction Potential, will get you a negative -200 to -300 millivolts. So this is a simple the reduction method of detoxification.
3. Nutrients to rebuild Damaged Tissues. Certain nutritition helps improved skin textures and sometimes brighter looking eyes sometimes. These include flavonoids, found in hesperidin, rose hips, vitamin F, bee pollen, royal jelly, vitamin B5 panthenol (or pantothenic acid), gingko, chitosan, inositol B8, oatmeal (high in silicon), and most importantly vitamin C in the form of sodium ascorbate, which is an alkaline form of vitamin C. These all will help repair damage tissues and reduce allergies. I have seen one person with reduced allergies and somewhat improved skin from just taking chitosan. Gingko helps with microcirculation and thus repair.
I have recently made my own heavy metal tester and found that one source of free radicals come from my own water filtering device. It was further traced to an old rusty faucet. Upon the removal of this, there was no longer copper toxicity. Copper free radicals is a common problem in Thailand since copper in drinking water is quite high. In certain parts of Bangladesh, arsenic is high. In the rice I eat, I haven't yet investigated it, I found it to be high in free radical zinc. So most of the heavy metals come from too much food processing, as opposed to minimal food processing. Just think, boiling that water in the old teapot, creates more free radical metals, which could be tin, iron, etc. An easy way to tell is to get a laser pointer and look at the lights passing through it. If you can see it, more clearly after you boil it, then that is the source of heavy metals which of course might be free radical metals and cause dark circles under they eyes, because that is a sensitive part of your body and the skin is already thin.
As to whether using cucumbers and other ailments will help such as apple cider vinegar, etc. These will help too since they also help detoxify the body but I prefer to mention the less obvious answers. If you are looking for obvious answers, such as dark circles is caused by hereditary, or some other things, those are some of the things we can do very little and is not worth mentioning here.
There is more than enough websites that tell you what YOU CANNOT DO, as opposed to what YOU CAN DO. The area round the eyes therefore is a reflection of your overall health, so monitor your them well and find what is causing the problems!
02/19/2007: Donna from Aspen, CO replies: Karin In Germany, Most commonly dark circles under your eyes is a thyroid problem. Have your tsh tested, it should be .80-2.0 If it is higher then you need thyroid supplements. Old doctors still go by the results that a tsh of over 4.55 is bad, but the new thinking is anything over 2.0 is bad. My OBGYN is my only doctor who follows the new advice, she gave me thyroid for a tsh of 4.25 and am I glad. You could also paint with iodine to try to help yourself, look up iodine cures for instructions. Iodine feeds the thyroid. However, in my experiments on myself, only thyroid helped, I take Armour thyroid because it is natural thyroid, the others are synthetic. My mom and dad have been on synthetic thyroid for 35 years, so I know of no reason to reject it, just my preference. Your thyroid underpreforming is a warning--there are many ailments that could follow that are very serious, take care of your thyroid~it takes care of you~your dark circles are a call for help.

Hispanic Heritage Month: Rafael S. Tejadilla, who used his military service as an opportunity to learn English, served as an airman in the Korean War.
Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated Sept. 15-Oct. 15. To commemorate the period, The Register asked readers to tell stories of the Korean War veterans in their families, 60 years after an armistice was declared.
Some 148,000 Latinos served during the conflict, among nearly 1.8 million service members called to duty.
Of the 36,574 men who gave their lives, 2,721 were Latinos. Of the 55 Orange County men who were killed in action during the war, 17 were Latinos, according to O.C.-based Latino Advocates for Education.
Born: Aug. 26, 1914.
Died: 2002, at age 87.
Family: The late Carmen Gamez Tejadilla; daughter Sylvia Agozino of Lake Forest; son Jose Luis Tejadilla or Oregon; six grandchildren; four great-granchildren.
Quote: "He taught me the value of citizenship, to acquire opportunities. The other value he taught me was the value of family," Sylvia Agozino said.
My dad, Rafael S. Tejadilla, was born in Mexico City. In 1945, he went to San Antonio, Texas to live with his sister.
While there, he decided to join the Navy at age 31. He did this in hopes of helping with the war, and also with hopes of bringing his wife and two children to the United States.
He learned to speak English during basic training in West Virginia and on his ship – the USS Benson.
After his discharge from the Navy, he brought my mother, my brother and I to the United States and we lived in San Antonio.
He joined the Air Force Reserves in 1947, serving at Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio, to make it easier to obtain his citizenship. He was trained as a precision mechanic.
When war broke out in Korea, the Air Force called him to active duty. He was already 35 years old. He went to Korea in 1952, sailing from San Francisco to Pusan. He was ordered to report to a distribution center in Seoul, where he served as a mechanic repairing Jeeps and military trucks, as well as Korean military planes. A sergeant, also served on the border between North and South Korea.
After his discharge, he returned to my mother and me to San Antonio. He and my mom studied the Constitution, passed their exams and became U.S. citizens. My brother and I became naturalized citizens through them.
We all moved to Los Angeles in 1954 and my dad bought a home on Raymond Avenue near the Coliseum while working as a precision mechanic at Garrett Air Research in Torrance.
In their retirement my parents built their dream home in Vista, which was their last home. When my mother became ill and they could no longer manage the house, they moved to Laguna Woods, closer to us here in Orange County. My mother, Carmen Gamez Tejadilla, died in 2001. My dad died in 2002 at age 87.
My dad was a true patriot, and loved this country. He saw opportunities for us to get a better education and wanted nothing but prosperity for his family.
Before he died we went to the gathering of war veterans at the Latino Advocates for Education in Santa Ana. My dad received a small recognition for his patriotism and contribution in the war with Japan and for his service in Korea.
I feel truly blessed today because of his foresight to see what we could achieve by coming to America.
My brother became an electronic engineer. I became a registered dental office manager and had a wonderful career in dentistry.
I can still see my parents studying in the kitchen for their citizenship. They could recite the Constitution and its amendments.
I am most grateful to America for allowing my parents to come and contribute their skills to this great land of ours, and for my brother and I to make a better life for ourselves and our families.

WASHINGTON - There have been some bad performances of the American national anthem before -- Carl Lewis or Roseanne Barr, anyone?
Well, while she may not be as famous as those two, we can add one more rough rendition to the list. Canadian singer Alexis Normand sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Saturday's Memorial Cup hockey game between the Portland Winterhawks and Halifax Mooseheads in the city of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Yahoo! Sports reports Normand faltered about 15 seconds in -- and then it just got worse.
To be fair, Normand is a Canadian singer who apparently had to learn the song. The Toronto Star reports Normand says she was asked to perform the song the morning before the game, and nerves also played a role in her mistakes.
Normand also apologized on Twitter afterward:
I'm embarrassed and deeply sorry. I wish I'd had more time to learn the American anthem. Thanks so much for the crowd's help! #memorialcup— Alexis Normand (@Alex6Normand) May 19, 2013
No doubt it's been a rough 24 hrs! Thanks to everyone who has sent supportive messages! I also empathize with victims of cyber- bullying.— Alexis Normand (@Alex6Normand) May 20, 2013

Interstitial cystitis (in-ter-stish-uhl sĭ-stī'tĭs), or as we call it, IC, is a bladder condition that usually consists of multiple symptoms. Most IC patients have recurring pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort in the bladder and pelvic region, and urinary frequency (needing to go often) and urgency (feeling a strong need to go).
IC may also be referred to as painful bladder syndrome (PBS), bladder pain syndrome (BPS), and chronic pelvic pain. Read more about these different names for IC.
Researchers continue to study IC and investigate why IC symptoms can be different in different patients. Many believe that there may be Additional subtypes, called phenotypes, of IC. This also helps to explain why there is such disparity in how IC patients respond to treatments. Of note is the national phenotyping initiative called the MAPP Research Network, which is supported by NIDDK, one of the National Institutes of Health.
About 5% of IC patients have persistent symptoms for more than 2 years and 5% of patients have end stage disease defined as very hard bladders with low capacity and terrible pain. Many of these patients also have Hunner's ulcers. Learn more about how to treat severe IC. Watch the ICHelp YouTube interview with internationally-known IC expert Kristene Whitmore, MD, from the Pelvic and Sexual Health Institute (PSHI).

It's Summer Vacation and There's Something Missing
Our Jewish community takes a break during the summer. We only have Torah services twice a month, and Tot Shabbat will resume in the fall. I understand why—our Rabbi gets some time to herself, to travel and study, and many of our congregants escape to Cape Cod or other cooler spots for weekend trips and longer vacations. Everything will pick up again in September, as we prepare for the High Holy Days and another year of holidays, bar and bat mitzvahs, brits, and funerals.
The thing is, I miss my community. I miss the learning and the singing, the rituals and the bagels. Even though many of my fellow members aren't my closest friends, they are people that I am happy to see each week. We ask about each other's children and parents, and we remember the details of each other's lives. We support each other in our journeys, and celebrate holidays together.
I also miss my Judaism. Yes, we listen to "synagogue music" (as my toddler calls it) each week, and we celebrate Shabbat each week, but it's not the same. We don't celebrate the minor holidays (such as the fast of 17th of Tammuz or Tisha B'av), and without services and holidays, Judaism just doesn't seem as present our daily lives. In fact, without Kveller, I'm not sure how much I would be thinking about Judaism in our family these days—I'm more concerned about keeping my daughters cool in this blazing east-coast heat.
I don't want it to be this way, but I'm not sure how to change things. I do want Judaism to be a bigger part of our daily lives, even in the summer (or perhaps especially in the summer). Yet our family isn't interested in becoming Orthodox; we belong to a Reconstructionist synagogue that we love dearly, and that supports and reflects our values and beliefs.
Yet, I want more, for myself and for our family. Which is why I was really excited when I read this recent posting on JewishBoston.com for an upcoming class called "Parenting through a Jewish Lens" or Ikkarim (Hebrew for values). The class is offered throughout the greater Boston area, and starts this fall. It sounds like just what I have been looking for—another venue for integrating the two most important aspects of my life.
So I'm signing up. What about you?

Children are natural engineers and love building and taking things apart. Engineering For Kids' programs engage students in hands-on, real world engineering experiences!
Engineering For Kids was founded by Dori Roberts. As a high school engineering teacher for 11 years, she was excited at her children's interest in what her high school students were working on in class. This inspired her to teach an after-school engineering class at their elementary school. She was surprised to find out how quickly her class filled up. The first class Dori offered was a civil engineering class in which the students built model bridges. The feedback from parents was overwhelmingly positive as they praised her ideas, and asked if she was going to offer engineering classes over the summer.
Dori started Engineering For Kids and began offering summer camps, birthday parties, after-school programs and evening classes at local community centers and schools.
The ever growing demand for the programs provided by Engineering For Kids has led to the establishment of the Engineering For Kids' franchise, a great opportunity for anyone who loves working with children and promoting their educational development.
