2012 Sonata Hybrid | Carolina Hyundai of High Point
More About Performance
More About the Exterior
More About the Interior
More About Safety
Hybrids don't need to be shaped like a cheese wedge to get better gas mileage. The design differences are subtly different from the traditional Sonata, yet the Sonata Hybrid achieves the industry's lowest 0.25 coefficient of drag.
The Sonata Hybrid is different, but not eccentric.
A raked roofline, modern design and 16-inch or available 17-inch alloy wheels lower aerodynamic drag while adding style. A unique front grille and LED headlight accents with daytime running lights also distinguish the Hybrid from its traditional counterpart. Front fog lights, LED tail lights and side mirror turn signal indicators increase visibility and appeal, while the Blue Drive badge shows you're leading the way to lower emissions.
No more fumbling for the key in your pocket or purse. The Sonata recognizes your key fob and automatically unlocks when you push the small black button on the door handle. Get in, fasten your shoulder belt, hit the start button and go.
Get your daily dose of sunshine, fresh air and vitamin D with the power tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof.
Heated side mirrors ward off frost, while speed-sensing wipers work harder the faster you drive. The intentionally large windows increase visibility, reduce blind spots and contribute to a feeling of spaciousness and ride comfort for you and your passengers.
Solar control windows block UV rays to protect the interior, and you, from the wrath of the sun. The cooler cabin means you can leave the air conditioning off, saving gas and the environment.
Brilliant design and a more compact battery that fits in the trunk give the Sonata Hybrid the most interior space in the Hybrid Midsize Sedan class, and Blue Link™ technology turns the interior into your own mobile command center. Plus there's an electroluminescent instrument cluster with hybrid technology display. A power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support, dual temperature controls, heated front and rear seats make it a supremely comfortable place, too.
Thanks to the space-saving lithium polymer battery, the Sonata Hybrid has more passenger room than the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion hybrids. There's more head room, more leg room in front and even plenty of room for luggage in the trunk.
Blue Link technology is designed with a multitude of features to make your everyday life easier. Connect to Blue Link through your smartphone, a web application or an in-car system to locate a gas station, find a shortcut, learn about mechanical issues, call for help and much more.
The Sonata Hybrid's cabin is ergonomically designed so that driver and passenger amenities are within quick and easy reach. The navigation touchscreen and audio controls are set a little higher on the center stack, making them easier to check while staying focused on the road. The dual automatic climate control offers custom settings for the driver and front passenger along with floor console air vent controls for rear passengers. Steering-wheel-mounted audio and phone controls keep your attention on the business at hand.
The Sonata's navigation system makes it easy to get from A to B or locate points of interest such as gas stations and ATMs, with voice recognition or the interactive touchscreen, while XM NavTraffic® and XM Data Services allow you to get a clear picture of traffic situations and check the weather, stocks and sports scores. In Hybrid Display Mode you can monitor your driving to make the most efficient use of the Hybrid Blue Drive System.
Thinking ahead from the moment you back out of the driveway. The rearview camera features guidelines that rotate with the steering wheel to display your path and take the guesswork out of backing up.
The AM/FM/CD/MP3 Audio System comes with 6 speakers, and XM� Satellite Radio for the best that commercial-free radio has to offer, with a complimentary three-month subscription on us. Plus the built-in iPod®/USB and auxiliary jacks let you access your iPod through the audio controls, displaying track and artist information, all while charging your digital personal listening device.*
An Infinity® 400-watt Premium Audio System with subwoofer and external amplifier is also available to add power and presence to favorite music.
*Available Hyundai iPod cable needed for integration.
Owning a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid means you don't have to sacrifice on safety. Active and passive standard safety features include six airbags, 4-wheel ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, plus a host of other modern safety technologies that helped earn the Sonata model line a 2012 "Top Safety Pick" award from the IIHS and a NHTSA 5-star Crash Rating.
In 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will require all vehicles to be equipped with ESC, a feature that the Sonata Hybrid and all Hyundai models have today.
NHTSA studies show passenger cars equipped with ESC experience 35% fewer single-vehicle crashes, and 30% fewer single-vehicle fatalities. ESC sensors measure the difference between a driver's intended path - when a turn is less or more than intended - and applies appropriate braking force to individual wheels to help regain control. ESC also includes Traction Control System (TCS)2, which reduces wheelspin when accelerating.
By reducing wheelspin in various adverse traction conditions, including inclement weather, Traction Control gives more stable and predictable acceleration for a more confident, controlled driving experience.
Emergency braking can cause a vehicle's wheels to lock up and skid, resulting in a loss of steering control exactly when you need it most. ABS helps prevent the possibility of wheel lockup under braking, and rapidly pulses the brakes to help you retain steering control as you come to a stop.
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) balances braking forces at each wheel of the vehicle depending on road conditions, available traction, the weight of the passengers and cargo that the vehicle is carrying, and even the speed the driver is going. This helps the driver maintain confident control in difficult braking situations.
In emergency braking situations, many drivers may not apply sufficient braking force to achieve the shortest possible stopping distance. Brake Assist helps detect emergency braking and ensures the maximum braking force is immediately applied to minimize stopping distances.
In addition to crumple zones, unibody construction, and active front head restraints that help reduce the chance of whiplash, the Sonata Hybrid also has advanced front, front side-impact, and side curtain airbags, to help protect you in case of an accident.
The Sonata Hybrid is the first non-plug-in hybrid with the next-generation lithium polymer battery technology, the most efficient battery on the market today. It also features a 6-speed automatic transmission that delivers a smooth feel, best-in-class 206 net horsepower.
Compared to the nickel-metal hydride battery used in competitors' hybrids, the Sonata Hybrid uses a polymer gel as the electrolyte in its battery. This allows for a thinner and lighter casing which translates to more cargo and interior volume. This next-generation battery is capable of delivering the same power with 25% less weight, 40% less volume and 10% more efficiency. It also discharges more slowly to maintain available power up to 1.7 times longer than traditional batteries.
Hybrid engines are obviously different from standard car engines, and the Sonata Hybrid is different still from other hybrids. Using a fully parallel HEV system provides optimum power, with engine and battery power supply working simultaneously. Additional energy saving comes through the electric engine's Hybrid Starter Generator (HSG) function and an all-electric mode up to 74 mph.
Tight-fisted with fuel, generous with performance. Sonata Hybrid's 2.4L DOHC Theta II engine features an Atkinson Cycle for decreased pumping and friction loss - resulting in improved fuel economy.
The engine-speed-sensitive, motor-driven power steering gives you more assistance at lower speeds (for parking) and makes the handling less touchy at higher speeds (on the highway). The turning diameter is a tight 35.8 feet, curb-to-curb. The fully independent suspension, with MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link rear, includes advanced SACHS� Amplitude Selective Damping shock absorbers for added response and a smooth ride.

Extravagant gardens unfold across the grounds of America's great country estates. Rich blossoms make their way up garden trellises and roses nod along cobblestone paths. As evening enfolds the sky in lavender and gray, the great windows of the house grow dark and all throughout the trees birds join together in their expressive song of dusk.

Persimmon Organic Reactive Glaze Dinner Plates, Set of 2
I really like these dishes, buy enough because they chip easy. The color is exactly what I've looked for !
Really like them but now I need more, I see I can buy serving plates, but I need salad plates. The Internet doesn't show any, I know in the store it did have them in January. So buy up so you stay stocked.
February 16, 2013
Beautiful! Until you use them!
These are beautiful plates at a very nice price, but your enjoyment of the plates will likely last only weeks. I bought 6 only to have 2 chip within 1 week upon colliding with two higher quality plates which received no damage. And the remaining 4 already have all sorts of white scratches/marks just from regular light use/eating, being stacked with other plates. I shudder to think how these plates will look in a few months, they'll presumably be a complete mess.
January 2, 2013
Beautiful product, not strong enough
I really LOVED these dishes! And they look so nice in my kitchen! But they do not hold up well. In two months, three different pieces have either chipped or broken. I already purchased one replacement, but I can't afford to keep replacing dishes. I am disappointed, as I really love the look of these dishes.

Laws against falsehood and injustice. (1-9) The year of rest, The sabbath, The three festivals. (10-19) God promises to conduct the Israelites to Canaan. (20-33)
Verses 1-9 In the law of Moses are very plain marks of sound moral feeling, and of true political wisdom. Every thing in it is suited to the desired and avowed object, the worship of one only God, and the separation of Israel from the pagan world. Neither parties, friends, witnesses, nor common opinions, must move us to lessen great faults, to aggravate small ones, excuse offenders, accuse the innocent, or misrepresent any thing.
Verses 10-19 Every seventh year the land was to rest. They must not plough or sow it; what the earth produced of itself, should be eaten, and not laid up. This law seems to have been intended to teach dependence on Providence, and God's faithfulness in sending the larger increase while they kept his appointments. It was also typical of the heavenly rest, when all earthly labours, cares, and interests shall cease for ever. All respect to the gods of the heathen is strictly forbidden. Since idolatry was a sin to which the Israelites leaned, they must blot out the remembrance of the gods of the heathen. Solemn religious attendance on God, in the place which he should choose, is strictly required. They must come together before the Lord. What a good Master do we serve, who has made it our duty to rejoice before him! Let us devote with pleasure to the service of God that portion of our time which he requires, and count his sabbaths and ordinances to be a feast unto our souls. They were not to come empty-handed; so now, we must not come to worship God empty-hearted; our souls must be filled with holy desires toward him, and dedications of ourselves to him; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Verses 20-33 It is here promised that they should be guided and kept in their way through the wilderness to the land of promise, Behold, I send an angel before thee, mine angel. The precept joined with this promise is, that they be obedient to this angel whom God would send before them. Christ is the Angel of Jehovah; ( 1 Corinthians. 10:9 ) a comfortable settlement in the land of Canaan. How reasonable are the conditions of this promise; that they should serve the only true God; not the gods of the nations, which are no gods at all. How rich are the particulars of this promise! The comfort of their food, the continuance of their health, the increase of their wealth, the prolonging their lives to old age. Thus hath godliness the promise of the life that now is. It is promised that they should subdue their enemies. Hosts of hornets made way for the hosts of Israel; such mean creatures can God use for chastising his people's enemies. In real kindness to the church, its enemies are subdued by little and little; thus we are kept on our guard, and in continual dependence on God. Corruptions are driven out of the hearts of God's people, not all at once, but by little and little. The precept with this promise is, that they should not make friendship with idolaters. Those that would keep from bad courses, must keep from bad company. It is dangerous to live in a bad neighbourhood; others' sins will be our snares. Our greatest danger is from those who would make us sin against God.
Exodus 23:1-33 . LAWS CONCERNING SLANDER, &c.
1. put not thine hand--join not hands.
2. decline--depart, deviate from the straight path of rectitude.
3. countenance--adorn, embellish--thou shalt not varnish the cause even of a poor man to give it a better coloring than it merits.
10. six years thou shalt sow thy land--intermitting the cultivation of the land every seventh year. But it appears that even then there was a spontaneous produce which the poor were permitted freely to gather for their use, and the beasts driven out fed on the remainder, the owners of fields not being allowed to reap or collect the fruits of the vineyard or oliveyard during the course of this sabbatical year. This was a regulation subservient to many excellent purposes; for, besides inculcating the general lesson of dependence on Providence, and of confidence in His faithfulness to His promise respecting the triple increase on the sixth year ( Leviticus 25:20 Leviticus 25:21 ), it gave the Israelites a practical proof that they held their properties of the Lord as His tenants, and must conform to His rules on pain of forfeiting the lease of them.
12. Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest--This law is repeated ( Exodus 20:9 ) lest any might suppose there was a relaxation of its observance during the sabbatical year.
13. make no mention of the name of other gods, &c.--that is, in common conversation, for a familiar use of them would tend to lessen horror of idolatry.
14-18. Three times . . . keep a feast . . . in the year--This was the institution of the great religious festivals--"The feast of unleavened bread," or the passover--"the feast of harvest," or pentecost--"the feast of ingathering," or the feast of tabernacles, which was a memorial of the dwelling in booths in the wilderness, and which was observed in the seventh month ( Exodus 12:2 ). All the males were enjoined to repair to the tabernacle and afterwards the temple, and the women frequently went. The institution of this national custom was of the greatest importance in many ways: by keeping up a national sense of religion and a public uniformity in worship, by creating a bond of unity, and also by promoting internal commerce among the people. Though the absence of all the males at these three festivals left the country defenseless, a special promise was given of divine protection, and no incursion of enemies was ever permitted to happen on those occasions.
19. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk--A prohibition against imitating the superstitious rites of the idolaters in Egypt, who, at the end of their harvest, seethed a kid in its mother's milk and sprinkled the broth as a magical charm on their gardens and fields, to render them more productive the following season.
20-25. Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way--The communication of these laws, made to Moses and by him rehearsed to the people, was concluded by the addition of many animating promises, intermingled with several solemn warnings that lapses into sin and idolatry would not be tolerated or passed with impunity.
21. my name is in him--This angel is frequently called Jehovah and Elohim, that is, God.
28. I will send hornets before thee, &c. instrument of divine judgment, but variously interpreted: as hornets in a literal sense [BOCHART]; as a pestilential disease [ROSENMULLER]; as a terror of the Lord, an extraordinary dejection [JUNIUS].
29, 30. I will not drive . . . out . . . in one year; lest the land become desolate--Many reasons recommend a gradual extirpation of the former inhabitants of Canaan. But only one is here specified--the danger lest, in the unoccupied grounds, wild beasts should inconveniently multiply; a clear proof that the promised land was more than sufficient to contain the actual population of the Israelites.

Cahterine Bryan and her husband Kenneth outside their polling place in Portage Tuesday Nov. 6, 2012. Catherine, age 90 and Kenneth, 102, have been voting together for decades. | Jerry Davich~Sun-Times Media

Updated: December 8, 2012 6:05AM
Catherine Bryan guided her husband of 67 years toward the ballot booth with a playful nod and a gentle push.
"Now go do your civic duty again," she told him.
Kenneth Bryan, who's 102 years old, didn't need any Election Day instructions, especially from his 89-year-old wife.
He's been voting longer than most of us have been alive, since 1932, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected into office after beating incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover.
"I voted for that Hoover, but I shouldn't have done that," Kenneth told me on Tuesday morning.
"You shouldn't tell him that!" Catherine whispered to her husband.
"Oh well," he replied with a shrug.
After the couple entered the Best Western Hotel in Portage, the polling place for the city's Precinct 6, they were asked for their driver's licenses.
"We're old enough to vote, you know," Catherine quipped to a poll worker.
"Yes I know, but I still need to see your driver's license," a poll worker replied.
"Oh, I know that," said Catherine, who had her driver's license ready to go since early that morning.
The Portage couple typically split their ticket on the ballot — voting for the candidate, not for a political party — and they typically chat about the candidates beforehand. It's all part of their process before any Election Day together, from the 1940s to today.
"Aren't they precious? Just precious!" exclaimed Lori Rizer of Chesterton, one of many poll workers who treat the Bryans like Election Day celebrities when they come to vote.
"Everyone in our precinct just adores them," she said while hugging them.
Another poll worker, named Rosemarie, said to no one in particular, "If this don't put shame into those people who don't vote, I don't know what will."
"We wouldn't miss our chance to vote," Catherine said flatly. "And we always vote around 10 o'clock in the morning. We do our civic duty and then we go back home and do the dishes or whatever. We would like to think that our vote matters."
Kenneth and Catherine, who are both EJ&E Railroad retirees, have three sons, six grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and several great-great-nieces and nephews.
The couple lived in the Miller section of Gary for decades before moving to Portage in 1980. In fact, as a kid I used to play football in a field underneath a towering water tank across the street from their home.
"We've been voting forever it seems," said Catherine, who finished filling out her ballot a few minutes before her husband. "He's very thorough."
After they exited the polling place and headed back to their vehicle, I asked if they're hopeful their chosen candidates would win.
"Of course," Catherine replied with a laugh.
"I hope so," Kenneth replied with a wink.
First time voter
On the other side of the city, Erica Gaffney cast her first-ever ballot on an Election Day at Jones Elementary School, her former school.
It will surely be a memorable day for the 18-year-old Purdue University student, similar to the decades-old memories of Kenneth Bryan. But it wasn't as easy as she had expected.
Gaffney, who lives on campus in West Lafayette, expected to receive her absentee ballot in the mail before Election Day, but it never arrived.
"Mom, I really want to vote," she told her mother, Laura Gaffney of Portage, on Monday night.
"Then I'll come pick you up," her mother replied.
And that's exactly what Laura did on Tuesday morning, picking up Erica after her morning class. They returned to Portage in plenty of time to vote, an important privilege for the military family.
"This is what our soldiers fight for, for our freedom to vote," Laura explained after voting with her daughter.
"Our country doesn't ask much from us, not really. This is the least we can do. It's our duty."
It's now her daughter's proud patriotic duty, too.
How hard was it
for you to vote?
If LaRon Miller could make it to vote Tuesday, most anyone else should, too. The 26-year-old Gary man rode his beat-up StingRay bicycle a few miles in the rain to his polling place, St. Timothy Community Church, just off Grant Street.
"I wouldn't miss voting today," he told me in the rain outside the polling place Tuesday afternoon.

In South Asia during the 16th to early 20th centuries all fashionable young men when visiting their ladies would want to dress at their best. This would include one very necessary dress acessory: the katar. This uniquely South Asian dagger is thought to have developed in the very southern part of what is now India. In the 17th century the type was adopted across South Asia, and became a standard dress accessory in the Mughal courts.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

On Behalf Of zhixing.zhang

To: Analyst List
Subject: Quarterly - East Asia
- Inflation pressure is temporarily eased, though Beijing fears
sign of resurge due to impact of external liquidity and continued
government-led investment domestically. Still, it appears Beijing is more
willing to accept a moderate inflation (around 5 percent), recognizing the
multiple issues it is facing;
- Slowing down of economic growth will continue leading up to Q 4,
with no sign of significant policy turn away from tightening credit
availability (albeit from record growth rates), as well as the murky of
external economy, particularly in EU and U.S;
- Beijing will navigate policy tools to continue tightening
without bringing additional impact on growth, but the last thing it wants
is the repeat of policy failure in 2008 that brings current economic
predicament. And a repeat could result in much uncertain situation that
beyond Beijing's control, particularly as it is one year ahead of 2012
- The delicate economic risk and uncertain external market
requires much flexible and pre-exempt policy basket [no idea what this
means], and not unlikely bring policy error; ???
- This would include much flexibly adjustment of monetary policy,
which in the 3rd quarter meaning expanding RRR or withdraw lending. The
government is more willing to allow appreciation of foreign exchange rate
as a way to address domestic economic concern than pressured by
international players; [now you are mentioning the policy tools Beijing
would use to tighten credit, but you refer to their use in Q4 as being
flexible and adjusting. Earlier you said there would be no policy change.
Which is it?]
- While tightening environment may largely dominate next quarter,
emerging risk in the real estate market and deteriorating financial health
of SMEs will require greater policy aid in Q4; [okay now you are just all
over the place. You have said 1) tightening will continue without change,
2) tightening will be `flexible' and need `adjustment' and now you're
saying 3) it will be reversed entirely and credit will be expanded for
these specific industries. You need to be very specific about what the
forecast is, because as of now, I have no idea.]
- Media and ideological [ideological?] would see greater
tightening, unrest and local grievance is ongoing [not sure what you're
saying here]. But this could also mean higher possibility for mishandle if
larger public incidence occurs, that fuel stability concern.
- thaw between China and U.S are not faulting, chance for direct
confrontation over trade disputes, and currency remain likely to gradually
building up in Q4, which to Beijing could mean greater political efforts
and international concessions;
- Such thaw would apply to U.S attempt to strengthen ally during
Obama's Asia tour in November, as well as U.S attempt to demonstrate
commitment in Asia Pacific through a series of multilateral mechanism,
including U.S-Japan-India trilateral dialogue, APEC as well as East Asia
Summit. While steps maybe limited, harsher response from Beijing is likely
depending upon domestic situation;
- South China Sea continues to dominate regional security issue.
Different players over South China Sea will keep making friends with other
regional powers, and it is in their interests to bring security issue in
the South China Sea on the new platform such as EAS. Though it hasn't
demonstrate capability to provide unique platform outside of ASEAN related
meeting and balanced interests from expanding players.

I thought Cheers was filmed before an audience?
"Cheers" was filmed before an audience, as are 99% of shows that have a "laugh track" -- but they all "sweeten" the audio to some extent; probably the two most common reasons are because they didn't get enough laughter from the audience, or because they need to "cover" an edit. ("Cheers" was probably more in the latter case.)
When I worked as a closed-captioner, we would usually get tapes of shows that were dubbed for us before the audio mix was fully completed. That meant, on most sitcoms with a laugh track, we got them before the audio was sweetened and we'd only be hearing what they'd recorded from the live audience. It changed many of those shows quite a bit -- they seemed less funny when there was less laughter.
At any rate, there are sitcoms with a laugh track in the UK as well. The one I've seen most recently is "The IT Crowd" (which I thought was funny enough that I could ignore the laugh track).

Very light and comfortable, fits like a glove. cushions the feet well from the road and light trails. Good all round trainer not just for running.
Sized as Expected
Road running and some grit trails
These trainers are fabulous. I particularly like the fact that they are vegan, as I would not have bought them otherwise. They are not too high at the back, which can often rub the heel. I put them on and they were instantly comfortable. I like the colour and style and think they are unisex rather than just for men. Please provide more vegan footwear. It is great that Merrell have provided a vegan products in this range. I do not believe we have a right to use animals for their skin and to make products. These are proof that there are fabulous cruelty free alternatives.
Smaller than Expected
All the time.

Community News (V9-I39)

Faith communities urged to shine the light on post-911 discrimination
CHICAGO, IL—Two leading faith-based publishers – one Muslim, one Christian – urged that faith communities "shine the light" on a disturbing pattern of discrimination across America in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
"We live in a xenophobic country," said the Rev. John Buchanan, editor and publisher of The Christian Century magazine. "We thought we had [even] taken care of anti-Semitism and that has been popping up here and there. One of the things we must do is name it [xenophobia] and keep shining a light on it."
Buchanan, who is also pastor of Fourth Presbyterian Church here, was responding to a presentation from Imam Malik Mujahid, president of the largest Islamic publishing house in the U.S., who had offered some alarming statistics about what he called "the unreported domestic war on terror."
Since September 11, 2001, Mujahid said, 500,000 Muslims have been interviewed by the FBI. Mujahid estimated 24% of Muslim American households have had a visit from the FBI. He estimated 28,000 have been detained or deported. Mujahid said special prisons for Muslim prisoners have been established since 9/11 and "Halliburton has a government contract to build more."
Mujahid, who is imam to three mosques and chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, said he constantly hears critics claim that Muslim leaders do not condemn terrorism. Muslim leaders have been doing that all along, he said, pointing to a unanimous resolution of the U.S. Senate praising Muslim leaders for speaking out. That resolution got virtually no media attention, he noted.
Both religious leaders shared their thoughts on "The Legacy of 9/11 on Media, Faith and Society." The interfaith dialogue, held on the sixth anniversary of the 2001 terrorism events, was hosted by the Communication Commission of the National Council of Churches USA (NCC) meeting near the national headquarters of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, one of the NCC's 35 member communions.
Mujahid had many examples of what he says Muslims call "Islamophobia" but he particularly pointed to the swearing in of Keith Ellison, the first Muslim American elected to the U.S. Congress. Last December Rep. Virgil Goode (R.-Va.) had made anti-Muslim remarks regarding Ellison's use of the Koran in the private ceremony in taking his oath of office.
"There was no statement from the Republican Party" objecting to Rep. Goode's remarks, he said. "There was no statement from President Bush."
Buchanan acknowledged the National Council of Church's role in speaking up on behalf of those who are being scapegoated in our country but said, "the evangelicals have just 'out-mediaed' us in the past few years." He urged moderate mainline churches to speak out more loudly on behalf of "our Muslim brothers and sisters" and protest Islamaphobia when it is seen.
"We must say no to the late D. James Kennedy's notion that this is a Christian nation and we must do all we can to elect Christians to office to keep it that way," Buchanan said. "We must say no to Franklin Graham's statements…[that disparage] Muslims."
Buchanan said, we must concentrate on the "inclusive and tolerant tradition" that is in all of our sacred texts. He read from Isaiah 19 as an example of "the inclusive view of God?that's worth knowing about and talking about."
"What are you going to do with information like that?" asked the Rev. Michael Livingston, NCC president, who was moderator of the discussion. "The level of ignorance and lack of awareness in the religious community, this war, this is part of our legacy," Livingston told the church communicators. He challenged his audience to "move this legacy in a different direction."
The National Council of Churches USA is the ecumenical voice of 35 of America's Protestant, Anglican, Orthodox, historic African American and traditional peace churches. Those member communions represent 45 million faithful Christians in 100,000 congregations in all 50 states.
Chicago cabbies get tickets while praying
CHICAGO, IL–Muslim taxi drivers in Chicago have alleged that as many as 500 of them have been ticketed for parking vehicles in access lanes near O'Hare Airport while pray at a nearby prayer trailer. The trailer has been set up by the city for making it convenient for observant drivers to pray. Cab drivers claim that despite providing them with the location, the city punishes them with hefty fines for using it.
The tickets ranging from $50 to $80 can cut a driver's daily profits into half.
"The financial impact, at least from a revenue standpoint, is huge," says Wolfgang J. Weiss, one of the managing directors of the Chicago Professional Taxicab Drivers Association. "We just want them to back off."
Aviation Department spokesman Greg Cunningham said authorities do not want to interrupt Muslims and their prayer habits, according to Chicago Suntimes. But he contends that cabbies must follow the rules at a facility that needs to be clear of traffic in order for operations to run smoothly and safely.
"It's a temporary parking and holding area," Cunningham said. "If a vehicle blocks off other vehicles from leaving the facility, it becomes a problem."
Malaysian Fulbright scholar to visit Montgomery County
Rosnani Hashim, professor of education at the International Islamic University in Malaysia, will be at Montgomery County Community College from Oct. 18 until Nov. 11.
During her stay, Hashim will engage in scholarly activities both at the college and in the community.
In Malaysia, Hashim has taught educational philosophy, history and sociology from the Islamic perspective since 1987 at the International Islamic University.
She has written extensively on Islamic education and its roles and position in a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-faith society like Malaysia, and she has lectured abroad on the issues of Muslim worldview, education, curriculum and women.
Hashim holds a doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree in education from the University of Florida, a master of science degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Wisconsin and a bachelor's in mathematics from Northern Illinois University.
She has served as the vice president of Women's Affairs for the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia, and she has published six books and has written more than 30 articles, book chapters and papers.
"It's tremendously prestigious that our students will have the opportunity to interact with another Fulbright scholar," said Aaron Shatzman, dean of social science and writer of the Fulbright scholar application.
"We are among a very elite group of institutions to be awarded a visiting specialist under this program. Dr. Hashim will afford both the college and community at large a valuable perspective into higher education from a Muslim point of view."
"The presence of a Fulbright scholar on our campuses is yet another demonstration of the high quality and excellence of the education and cultural outreach that we provide to our students and the community," said Karen A. Stout, president of Montgomery County Community College. "We are deeply honored to welcome a scholar of Dr. Hashim's stature to our institution."
The Fulbright Visiting Specialist program "Direct Access to the Muslim World" is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State and administered by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) in Washington, D.C.
Interfaith support for Jewish temple
FAYETTEVILLE, AK–When a Jewish congregation was facing opposition from the community over its plans to construct a synagogue in the Butterfly House neighborhood, help came from an unexpected quarter. Fadil Bayyari, a practicing Muslim, approached the congregation and offered to provide contracting services at cost.
Bayyari was aware of similar opposition faced by Muslims across the nation and wanted to help.
" Having that partnership with a practicing Muslim and Palestinian Arab, we really feel that spirit will cross religious boundaries and attract people from all walks of life, " said Ralph Nesson, a member of the fundraising committee.
Mosque proposed in Manchester
MANCHESTER, CT–The Connecticut town may get its first mosque soon, if the plans of a group of local Muslims are approved.
The Association of Muslim Community is requesting a special exception to allow a place of worship in a residential zone. The group hopes to renovate a small, single-family house at 232 Woodland St. and convert it into a mosque, Association of Muslim Community Treasurer Tarek Ambia said.
Ambia said the group consists of about 25 to 30 Muslims, most of them Manchester residents, who now travel to East Hartford, Hartford, and Windsor to worship and who would like to establish a mosque closer to their homes.
"They feel like they should have something here locally," Ambia said.
Town regulations allow places of worship in residential zones as long as they meet several requirements in areas such as parking and screening between the place of worship and nearby homes.
Plan to build first Mosque in Hawaii questioned
A Muslim group in Hawaii is soliciting donations to build what would be the Island's first mosque. The "Masjid Al-Baqi Project" plans to acquire a house in the Kona Highlands subdivision and convert it into a mosque.
But the plan has already attracted media scrutiny after the seller of the house and her listing agent say that the house is in escrow but not for Syed Kamal Majid, the only person named in the documents connected with the Mosque project.
The listing agent says the buyers are "a Hawaiian family" and have noting to do with any mosque plan.
MAS Freedom Launches 'Faith over Fear and Justice for All' Campaign in Texas
KATY, TX—The Muslim American Society has launched a campaign to fight attempts to slander and intimidate the Muslim community of Katy, Texas. The Muslim community is facing stiff opposition for its plans to build an Islamic center.
Opponents of the center, who own property adjacent to the site of the proposed Islamic Center of Katy, have initiated an Anti-Muslim campaign, which includes the use of a misleading internet website address that continues to post extremely derogatory and inflammatory propaganda directed against the Muslim community and Prophet Muhammad (s).
The purpose of the Faith Over Fear and Justice for All Initiative, according to MAS Freedom Executive Director Mahdi Bray, is to "encourage and build a positive interfaith atmosphere that affirms the right of all people of faith to live in freedom from intimidation and hatred, and that builds bridges of real understanding and mutual respect for the good of the entire community."

A Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist takes readers on a surprising tour of America's biggest export, our most prodigious product, and our greatest legacy: our trash
The average American produces 102 tons of garbage across a lifetime and $50 billion in squandered riches are rolled to the curb each year. But our bins are just the starting point for a strange, impressive, mysterious, and costly journey that may also represent the greatest untapped opportunity of the century.
In Garbology, Edward Humes investigates trash—what's in it; how much we pay for it; how we manage to create so much of it; and how some families, communities, and even nations are finding a way back from waste to discover a new kind of prosperity. Along the way , he introduces a collection of garbage denizens unlike anyone you've ever met: the trash-tracking detectives of MIT, the bulldozer-driving sanitation workers building Los Angeles' Garbage Mountain landfill, the artists residing in San Francisco's dump, and the family whose annual trash output fills not a dumpster or a trash can, but a single mason jar.
Garbology is raising awareness of trash consumption and is sparking community-wide action through One City One Book programs around the country.
It is becoming an increasingly popular addition to high school and college syllabi and is being adopted by many colleges and universities for First Year Experience programs.

Comments about iRobot Scooba® Replacement Tank:
I have used a sccoba for many years now. Owning a scooba reminds me of the story of the farmer and the ax. When asked how long he owned the ax, the farmer replied "50 years, but I have changed the handle 10 times and the head 5 times".
Well I have owned a scooba for 5 years, and changed every part in it many many times. Tanks last a year before the scooba error codes it out (very frustrating because they are still good). OEM batteries last 6 months-9months, and the aftermarket batteries last 1-2 yrs.

Why Matching Doesn't Matter
Rooms that prove confidence overrides all decorating rules
By Sarah Bray
Developing your home's personality can be intimidating and overwhelming: Does this go with this? Can I commit to this wall color? Will this be a forever piece of furniture or will I hate it next month?... If you've ever gone into decor panic-mode or just straight-up thrown in the towel, fear not! Susanna Salk, the author behind the best-selling book Be Your Own Decorator, says forget the rules. "Remember that 'supposed to' is one of the most dangerous phrases in all of decorating," Salk pens in her latest coffee table tome Decorate Fearlessly, out this month from Rizzoli. Instead, she prompts readers to use whimsy, confidence, and a dash of surprise to create deeply personal interiors. Through a trove of mesmerizing rooms and encouraging commentary, she proves her liberating point—if you choose pieces, colors, and prints that you love, then, magic will follow.

For any of my readers who are still undecided as to who to root for when the World Series kicks off tomorrow, I've created a handy list. Mark your preferences as you go and at the end, tally it up and know your team!
One thing to the two states seem to agree on? Square dancing. They both have it as their official state dance.
The Lone Star State vs. The Home of the Blues
The only place in the world that they make Dr Pepper according to its original formula vs. the place they actually invented it
Monarch Butterflies vs. Honey Bees
Friendship vs. The Welfare of the People
The first suspension bridge in the history of the US vs. the tallest recorded person in medical history
A cattle population of nearly 16 million vs. the largest beer producing plant in the nation
A name that means "Friends/Allies" vs. one that means "Town of Large Canoes"
The invention of domed stadiums vs. the invention of the ice cream cone
Mockingbird vs. Bluebird
The place they made the largest oatmeal cake in the world vs. the place where they consume more barbeque sauce per capita than anywhere else
The world's largest parking lot vs. Laura Ingalls Wilder
A place you can be legally married by introducing someone as your husband or wife three times vs. a place where bathtubs with four legs resembling animal paws are illegal
And no, neither of those last two are corroborated. I somehow doubt their validity in fact. But hey, if they help you choose allegiances, what does it matter?

We were looking at standard King mattresses but decided to see if we could find something cheaper on the internet to get by until we could get one of the fancy, expensive mattresses. I found this one and for the price, I couldn't pass on taking a gamble. I was worried because I never liked the memory foam I've tried in the stores. I was also worried about the quality because of the super low price. It's been about a month and we are in L O V E with this bed. Shipping said it would be 3 days but ended up taking about 5. Not a big deal. It is about 110lbs shipped but my girl friend and I had no troubles carrying up the stairs. Unpacking and setting up the bed was a breeze. Just cut open the plastic, position on the bed, and watch the mattress expand. It did have a slight odor as mentioned in all the other posts and it took a couple days to air out. We started sleeping on it the same night. I am so happy with this mattress. I'm in my early 30's and have chronic back and hip pain. It's amazing what a new mattress can do! My back feels great and I feel more energized in the mornings. My girl friend works odd hours and it is really nice not to wake each other up when we get up and down. Now we just have to see how this mattress stands the test of time. I am satisfied with the quality and don't anticipate that I will have to worry about a new mattress for years to come. I highly recommend this product!
While the matress seems pretty high quality (especially for the low price), it's just too firm for us. We gave it a week to make sure it had expanded to it's full thickness, etc. I can't imagine how so many people find it comfortable. I understand that different people with different bodies have different tastes, but it seems to go beyond that, this thing is hard!. We're pretty light, like 120 and 150 lbs. and maybe that makes a difference. We have a smaller inexpensive memory foam matress we bought a few years ago and we really like it. We were hoping to get something similar with this king size matress. I would have given it a higher rating but feel Overstock should have put that it's very firm. Since we can't return it, we're now trying out different matress toppers to suppliment.
We took a risk by ordering a mattress online without testing it out first, but the reviews and the price were so great that we went for it. The bed is perfect! We wanted a memory foam mattress and this is just as good as the ones we've slept on at hotels. It's 8 inches thick, so it sits pretty level with the top of our platform bed (because we don't have a boxspring), so I may have wished we got a 10" version because it makes getting out of bed a little harder, but just measure and see if you'd have the same problem. It was delivered in a large box (it was vacuum sealed so it was easy to maneuver) and we just unfolded it on top of our bed. A few hours later it was fully expanded. We slept on it the next night and when you first lay down it's really firm, but then you sink into it ever so slightly. I would say this is the best bed if you like to sleep on a firmer surface, but you may not like it as much if you're into the plush thing.
My wife and I bought this bed for Christmas and we love it!! It was very firm out of the box so my wife was unsure if she'd like it, but after about a week it began to break-in (soften) and now we are both getting better sleeps than we ever have. Our back pain is a thing of the past. FYI - there is a bit of an odor after opening it, which took about 1 day to dissipate. I'd suggest letting it air out in a garage if at all possible. The odor wasn't too overpowering that we couldn't sleep however. Also, I've read that some people feel the mattress is too hot, but my wife and I have not found this to be true. It's possible that because it is winter it doesn't "seem" hot, but I just thought I'd pass along our experience. In addition, in case anyone is wondering, we put this mattress directly on a new metal frame that we also purchased at Christmastime ($99), and the setup has been perfect. Without the bouncy box spring and mattress my wife and I can get in and out of bed without waking the other one up. It's been great!! I strongly recommend this bed to anyone looking for a comfortable, inexpensive, alternative to a "normal" setup or to the higher priced memory foam mattresses that are out there. For the price, comfort level, and ease of setup this mattress can't be beat!!
This mattress is the best ever! I had been looking for a memory foam mattress for months, even testing out the expensive mattresses in various stores. I found this one on Overstock for thousands less than those I had tested. I must say, I couldn't be happier. I was a little hesitant not knowing if it would fully expand coming out of the box. However, it came out of the box easily and fully expanded within minutes. I was never a great sleeper, waking up often throughout the night. I also suffered from aches and pains after waking. Since receiving this mattress, I've never slept better & my pain is gone. I literally sleep like a baby. My husband (who was never a great sleeper either) also can't get over how comfortable this mattress is. He too is getting his best sleep ever. I really can't say enough about how much we love this mattress. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great memory foam mattress & a fantastic price.
Great price and quality. Very comfortable.
Surprisingly comfortable. Came in a small box unfolds into a king size.
Over 6 months now. We sleep on it every night. From purchase to use, no issues. It meets our expectations and was a good value.
This bed is amazing. It has helped my back tremendously, and now when I sleep on other beds my back pain returns. I want to buy this mattress for my in-laws but afraid that might be too forward? ;) It really has changed my life, I used to get out of bed very stiff and unable to bend until my back started to feel better. I would wake up to so much pain. My arms used to fall asleep and my hips would hurt. I experience none of this now. What a difference, and a real bargain compared to what you might pay in the store. Our previous mattress was 4 times as much and turns out it was making me miserable! The compact shipping also allowed us to get the mattress up our stairs and into our bedroom which was very difficult with a traditional bed the way our house is. Love this bed. I said it was firm because it is the way these beds are, firm at first but then you melt in.
This is my second Bodipedic memory foam mattress purchase from O.co. I have severe back problems & previously have spend thousands of dollars on high end latex mattress', other memory foam products, endless mattress toppers and have never achieved comfort. I bought the first Bodipedic for my guest room because of one factor: PRICE. Well, that, and I could get it quickly and easily have a friend move it into the guest room. WITH THE ADDITION OF AN INEXPENSIVE egg-crate mattress topper (because I personally found it a tad too firm), it was SO comfortable, I ended up sleeping on it permanently!!! I sold my VERY expensive mattress and eventually bought this one for my master bedroom, and AM LOVING it! Again, a $30 cheap-o topper and I am sleeping like before I had damage to 9 vertebra! For the price, it is amazing! I wish I found it years (and thousands) ago!

We all experience negative emotions. Some common negative emotions are: anger, shame, guilt, envy, depression, fear and pride. My goal is to help everyone I can release the negative energy that is created by holding on to negative emotions so they have more room to experience love, peace and joy in their lives. In this three-part blog, I will give a cliff notes version of:
- How we typically handle negative emotions.
- The effect of negative emotions on our body.
- How to release negative emotions once and for all.
Let us begin with how we typically handle negative emotions. There are three ways that we typically handle our negative feelings: Suppression, Expression and Escape. These mechanisms are often ineffective and the reason we have difficulty in our personal and professional relationships. Here is an overview of each mechanism:
- Suppression/Repression: Suppression and repression push feelings either down or away and are the flip side of the same coin. Suppression is consciously done whereas repression is an unconscious process. Everyone does both at some point because we are unsure of what to actually do with the feeling other than avoid it.
- We often repress a feeling because we feel extremely guilty about having that feeling. In fact, we rarely experience the feeling at all because we instantly throw it into our unconscious mind whenever it threatens to emerge. Whenever we repress our feelings, two common defenses arise: Denial and Projection. In essence, we deny our feelings and then project those feelings onto other people.
- On the other hand, when we suppress our feelings, we are aware of them but choose not to express them for one reason or another. When we suppress our feelings, we usually feel irritable, experience mood swings, headaches, tight muscles, allergies, and other somatic feelings.
- Expression: This mechanism allows the feelings to get out of the mind and body via outbursts, body language, et cetera; we call this 'dumping.' The purpose of expression is to allow just enough pressure from the negative emotion to be released so the rest of the emotion can be suppressed. After expressing a negative emotion through an outburst, the person usually feels relief however the underlying tension is still there. Instead of dumping our emotions onto others, the best way to deal with your negative emotion is to own how you feel. When you own your negative emotions, you neutralize them and allow your positive emotions to increase!
- Escape: The saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss." This is why we are desperate to remain unconscious of how we feel. Escape is our favorite mechanism for avoiding our feelings. We usually turn to acceptable social diversions to take our mind off of what we feel. Unfortunately, what tends to be socially acceptable tends is a slippery slope: alcohol, work, sex, gambling, television, et cetera. The effects of escaping our feelings cause us to hate ourselves and become emotionally isolated.
As always, I hope you find this helpful and encourage you to check back in for parts 2 and 3. If you have questions, post them below or email me: email@example.com. For those of your who are self-help fanatics, click here for more resources. Pleasant Journeys!
