" The School of Leadership and Education Sciences has more than 4,000 alumni and many friends like you to help us tell our story. By doing so, you ensure that we continue to offer the same high-quality education and community resources that SOLES is known for. It's a story that should be familiar to anyone who has been a student here, attended SOLES events, or read our newsletters and annual dean's report. Paula A. Cordeiro, Ed. D. For one, we are nationally and state accredited in all of our programs: marital and family therapy, counseling, and all of our education programs. This uncommon distinction means that SOLES alums can apply for jobs in any state in the country, thanks to the high standards we have worked so hard to achieve. Another piece of the story we are very proud of is our high-quality faculty. 42 of the top scholars and teachers in the nation who bring to us widely diverse international backgrounds. Last year alone our distinguished faculty published four books, more than 30 book chapters, and 27 refereed articles, and made hundreds of national and international presentations. Our international focus is also a key reason students tell us they are attracted to SOLES. We are the only school of leadership and education in the nation that requires all students to have an international experience in order to graduate. SOLES' ten centers and institutes serving both students and the community are another very important part of the story. Each year these centers and institutes work with thousands of students, educators, therapists, counselors, and community members, extending our outreach into virtually all types of nonprofit organizations and government agencies in this community and beyond. And our hard work has not gone unrewarded. In addition to numerous state and national awards of excellence, US News and World Report has consistently ranked SOLES among the top 100 of more than 800 graduate schools of education in the nation. Lastly, we are doing our best to make this high quality education affordable. Thanks to alumni and friends like you, who generously give to our scholarship fund, we are able to offer financial aid, grants and scholarships that make a huge difference for our students. But the story doesn't end here. We need you as an ambassador for SOLES to help spread our story to others in the community, whenever the topic of education comes up. Tell them how great our programs are. Tell them how your own experience at SOLES has affected your life. Tell them about the important contributions our faculty and graduates are making to local communities and the world at large. Remember, it takes a thousand voices to tell a single story. Your voice counts. And we're counting on YOU. Paula A. Cordeiro Dean and Professor Donate now Stay Connected 1 ScHool of leaDerSHip anD eDUcation ScienceS for our feature article we interviewed two professionals from very different fields -- Matt Spathas, a businessman turned community advocate for education, and Chris Devers, Assistant Professor of Educational Technology at SOLES -- who represent two sides of the same question: If our students are to compete more effectively in the new global economy, what must our new educational paradigm look like and how will we prepare the next generation of teachers to get us there? transforming For the full videopaped interview with Matt Spathos, click on the photo above matt Spathas: The school of the future: A new paradigm matt Spathas is CEO of Bandwidth Now, a next generation utility company that installs provisions and manages Building Optical Networks (BON) in commercial real estate. He is also a partner at SENTRE Partners, a real estate service and investment company. An enthusiastic dad who is passionate about transforming education for the 21st century, he helped spearhead a technological makeover that poured laptop computers and free online tutoring into Point Loma classrooms. He serves on the SOLES Advisory Board. Q. You describe yourself as a "passionate advocate" for transforming our 150-yearold educational delivery system in order to prepare students for the 21st century. Considering your background is in real estate, how did this come about? mS: In 2004 I had the opportunity to travel extensively through Asia. We went to five countries, twelve cities, toured 38 real estate projects and two international schools. The global competition that we're facing in the US was really a wakeup call for me. We're not competing with the student down the hall, across the state, or even across the country. We're competing with over a billion people that really want what we have here. Q. So what has to change? mS: The challenge will be how to keep content and context relevant enough to continue to engage and empower students in the future. As Shirley Grover, founder of the School of the Future in Philadelphia, points out: if a teacher can't explain why a student is learning an assignment, then it may not be relevant content and it may not have a relevant context component to it. matt Spathas' A through E platform for 21st century educational delivery: A � Applications: Provide students with access to all applications for learning. B � Broadband: Ensure that every family, every home, every student has access to broadband. C � Curriculum: Make Web-based curriculum engaging, multilingual and personalized to the learner. D � Device: In today's environment, that means a laptop for every student. E � Education: We've got to retool and retrain everybody: teachers, parents, community and business leaders. 2 Donate now s Stay Connected education in the age of digital literacy WE ASkED assistant professor of learning and teaching chris Devers about his research in the areas of cross-cultural education and online educational environments, and how that research has shaped his approach to curriculum development and instruction. For the full videopaped interview with Chris Devers, click on the photo above Chris Devers: Preparing a new generation of teachers Chris Devers joined the School of Leadership and Education Sciences in fall of 2009 as an assistant professor in the Department of Learning and Teaching. Professor Devers recently received a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Devers' research focuses on diversity and the processes and environments in which technology promotes learning. In particular, he has focused on the specific nuances in cross-cultural (multicultural) online courses and how textbased (content) interaction systems may influence learning. As a professor of educational technology, I want to make certain that the lessons I'm teaching have a sound theoretical and empirical research base. Sociocultural theory and critical pedagogy theory in particular have had a significant impact on my approach to curriculum development and instruction. My own research has been focused on diversity and the processes and environments in which technology promotes learning, in particular the specific nuances in cross-cultural online courses and how text-based (content) interaction systems may influence learning. Cross-cultural online education, in some form, has been around since the birth of the World Wide Web. Preliminary results have shown that in online education, the inclusion of a cross-cultural environment often challenges students to examine, and in some cases revise, their worldview. For example, research suggests that the addition of more diverse online social experiences may increase possibilities for learning by encouraging critical dialogue that could lead to the advancement of new ideas. Continued on page 4 s 3 inStitUte for nonprofit eDUcation anD reSearcH SOLES' reputation as a NoNprofit thiNk taNk continues to A gro w t a time when so many nonprofits are struggling to maintain their footing, the Institute for Nonprofit Education and Research at SOLES is, according to director Pat Libby, "riding high." "This past spring we had a record number of applicants for the program, up 82 percent from the previous year," Libby reports. "The pool was not only deep, it was rich with talent." She attributes this sudden flood of interest to these key factors: reputation. SOLES' reputation continues to grow � both nationally and internationally � as an institution with a focus on leadership and a pedagogy that interweaves theory with application. According to Libby, applicants reported choosing USD over offers from Brandeis, New York University, Notre Dame, Gonzaga and other prestigious universities. "We're no longer the best kept secret in San Diego," she says. Cutting-edge programs and research. This year for the first time, the Institute offered several international nonprofit courses as part of an initiative spearheaded by Dean Cordeiro to ensure students throughout SOLES gain an understanding of other peoples and cultures. Service learning program director Elaine Elliott (who spent nearly two decades living in Guatemala) was recruited to orchestrate a course on nonprofits and civil society in that country. Richard kiy, who directs the International Community Foundation, taught an Institute course on bi-national nonprofits operating in both Mexico and the US. Libby reports that both courses received rave reviews and were described by nonprofit students as "life changing." Pat Libby On the research side, The Caster Family Director, Institute for Center for Nonprofit Research at SOLES Nonprofit Education continues to engage in a wide array of and Research academic and community research projects, as well as practitioner and academic conference presentations. These research projects have been driven by a unique operating model that involves doctoral students working under the mentorship of senior researchers at the Center. Value. In the current economy, nonprofit practitioners are keenly interested in finding new, more creative ways of approaching their work. "Many have heard glowing reports from Institute graduates who are spreading the word about the value of the program and its impact on their careers and their sense of self," says Libby. Affordability. "USD has a continuing commitment to ensure that our nonprofit masters program is affordable to practitioners who work for 501 (c) (3) organizations," Libby points out. for information on the centers, programs and events, contact laura Stein at (619) 260-7442, or visit us at www.sandiego.edu/soles/centers/nonprofit.

Continued from page 3 transforming education in the age of digital literacy Over the last twenty years, as online education has been gaining momentum, it's become increasingly important for us to understand exactly how this evolving technology may influence education and learning. Students and instructors are now able to interact in real time with others from all over the world in a variety of ways, many of which mimic traditional education and face-to-face communication. This in turn will hopefully lead to more authentic interaction and learning experiences. 4 Donate now Stay Connected How SOLES is making a difference in Catholic education Supporting the local Catholic Diocese: A s an educator and administrator for more than thirty years, Stevan Laaperi has witnessed firsthand the many positive advantages that come with having a locally based graduate school of education. He himself has a bachelor's degree from USD ('76) and a master's in education from the University of San Francisco. Today, as director of schools for the San Diego Catholic Diocese, Laaperi has nothing but praise for the many innovative programs at SOLES that are helping to raise the bar for local Catholic school administrators. "The administrators we see coming out of SOLES are exceptionally well trained, with a solid research background," he points out. "Most of the administrators we are hiring now have been through our system, expressed an interest in leadership, and then gone on to do graduate research at SOLES." According to Laaperi, the one-year Leaders Exploring Administrative Possibilities ( LEAP) program at SOLES gives many prospective school administrators the impetus they need to pursue a graduate degree through the Educational Leadership Development Academy (ELDA) at SOLES. Financial support is another way that SOLES is reaching out to help local Catholic schools. "Just this year Dean Cordeiro was able to secure scholarship funds for ten of our principals to attend the ELDA summer institute," says Laaperi. Given that ethics play an important role at SOLES and the university at large, as a faith-based Roman Catholic institution, Laaperi feels strongly that schools like SOLES will play an important role in helping to shape the future of our society as a whole. "We must have teachers and administrators who are dedicated to ethical conduct and compassionate service, and who are committed to work for a just and peaceful society. SOLES is helping to fill that need." nativity prep academy: a SoleS partnership success story a private, tuition-free college prep school that sends over 80 percent of its at-risk student body to college. Add to that a 10-hour school day that includes daily tutoring, enrichment programs, and a teacher for every six students. What you end up with is a dream that USD graduate David Rivera, in partnership with SOLES, is helping to make a reality. "Nativity has a formal partnership with USD and AmeriCorps," says Rivera, "where part of our staff volunteers at Nativity Prep schools for two years, after which SOLES and AmeriCorps together provide 100 percent scholarships." The result is that Academy teachers are able to continue working while earning their graduate degree in education. "Every one of our two-year intern teachers is automatically accepted to a degree program in education at SOLES." Modeled after the first Nativity school, which imAginE opened at the Jesuit Mission Center on the lower east side of Manhattan in 1971, Nativity Prep Academy graduated its inaugural class in 2005. Today the Academy is one of over 60 Nativity schools nationwide, which embrace the Jesuit tradition of Catholic education and encourage students to become "persons for others." Nativity Prep Academy in San Diego serves belowpoverty-level children of all faiths, providing them a 100 percent Catholic school education. "We offer year-round school with mentoring and a field trip a week, and we can do it for the same price as the public schools," says Rivera. He is also quick to point out the key role played by Dean Paula Cordeiro in founding the school. "Before we opened, Paula was very instrumental in mentoring me through the startup phase of a new school. Overall SOLES has been very influential in providing guidance as well as scholarships for our teachers." David rivera, J.D., is founder of Nativity Prep Academy in downtown San Diego. He holds a bachelor's degree from USD College of Arts and Sciences and a J.D. degree from Notre Dame School of Law.

Steven Gelb, Ph.D. Acting Dean Nrotc moves to SoLeS The NROTC program at USD, which is co-hosted by San Diego State University, UCSD, Point Loma Nazarene University and Cal State San Marcos, together with the Naval Science Department will now be housed academically at SOLES, with the dean providing academic oversight. According to CAPT Mark S. Woolley, US Navy, Commanding Officer and Professor of Naval Science, "The closer association with SOLES was an immediate advantage that was instrumental in helping to establish a Naval Science minor at USD." With over 300 students combined, San Diego's NROTC unit is one of the largest in the nation. The spring 2009 commissioning of San Diego NROTC Naval and Marine officers took place May 22 at Camino Patio, USD, and included 40 graduating students who were commissioned as Ensigns in the US Navy and Second Lieutenants in the US Marine Corps. 7 admissions picture looks rosy as many D espite � or because of � the economy? Over the years, statistics have consistently shown that a slumping economy leads to an increase in graduate school applications. The reason: Many prospective students turn to a graduate degree to boost their chances in the job market, to reduce the likelihood of being laid off or, for those who have been laid off, to assist in the transition to a new career. So it's no wonder that SOLES applications were up by 20% as of July, 2009. According to Pelema Morrice, director of outreach and recruitment at SOLES, "We are seeing people who want to ride out the economic turbulence by attending graduate school, as well as determined professionals continuing with their plans for a postgraduate education. But the question for many prospective applicants still remains: With money so tight, how can they even think of graduate school right now? And the truth is, according to Morrice, "We are having to be more thoughtful and coordinated than ever in our efforts with financial aid, since so many decisions about enrollment right now hinge on finances." The good news is, as the number of applications rises, class and cohort sizes are not increasing at the same rate. "If anything, selectivity is the only thing which has increased, "says Morrice. "We now have many more applications in both our masters and doctoral programs for a similar number of students in the cohort." The unexpected downside of the current economic situation is that the cancellation rate among SOLES applicants has also risen. Some came to us fearing layoffs that never materialized. Others decided to forego graduate school right now in favor of a second job to help make ends meet for their families. following their Dreams Many SOLES students discover that a graduate school education is the path to accomplishing something in their professional lives that they have always wanted to do. "It was time to take that leap of faith and become a teacher," notes school district classified employee Adolfo Jaramillo, M.Ed. `11. "I have always known that's where my passion lies, and now I'm able to do it at the University and in the program I've always wanted." Morrice's experience with graduate applicants has been similar. "I have met a number of students who are ready to make that career transition," he says. "The timing may be driven by economic changes in their workplace, but their passion is what brings them to advancing their education in areas such as teaching or counseling in order to follow their hearts." "So much of what we offer includes these passion-driven career opportunities," explains Morrice. "What could be better than to be able to offer someone that chance?" Jaramillo adds, "When I think about what I want to do, for my family and for our future, you can't put a dollar amount on it. It means perseverance, goal setting, wanting to be an excellent teacher and providing for my family. And that's why I'm here." New Scholarships Mean New opportunities Fortunately, new grants and scholarships have been instituted this year to benefit SOLES students and in many cases, make their dreams of a graduate education possible: � Federal Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grants � The McCardle-Clause Scholarship for School Counseling � The Business Link Scholarship "We count on our alumni and donor friends to support the ongoing efforts of SOLES and our students," notes Dean Paula Cordeiro. "We could not sustain USD's role in the future of education and leadership without their continued financial support." 8 FACULTY BookSheLf noriyuki inoue, Ph.D., had his article "Rehearsing to teach: Content-specific deconstruction of instructional explanations in pre-service teacher trainings" published in the Journal of Education for Teaching.

A very feminine oriental fragrance with a mysterious sensuality captured in notes of geranium, cinnamon and patchouli. Voluptuous and captivating.
Because Christian Dior felt as much a Perfumer as a Couturier, he wanted to create fragrances so he could see each of his dresses emerge one by one from the bottles.
Its leaves and stems are steam distilled before the flower blooms to produce the essential oil. This complex scent with a hint of rose flourishes as the top note of Dioressence.
Cinnamon is the oldest of spices. Grown in Ceylon and known as a stimulant, it brings a warm spicy tone as the heart note in Dioressence.
Patchouli is a plant originally from Indonesia and Malaysia. A key element of the perfumer's palette, its essence is obtained by steam distilling the dried leaves. It is used in chypre, woody and oriental fragrances, featuring as the base note of Dioressence.

If FDR knew that Japan declared war on US hours before the Pearl Harbor
bombing, why did it come an hour later after the attack was over? If FDR
knew that Japan was coming to bomb Pearl Harbor, why not set up an ambush
and win from day one? The US intelligence before 1942 was new and very
faulty. It is a well known fact US knew that Japan's attack was coming but
many thought it was supposed to directly aiming at the Philippines since it
was closer to Japan and Hawaii was farther away from Japan.

Unfortunately, they did. In fact, they aimed at small cities that had a
military presence. They could have hit Kyoto, or Tokyo, or Yokohama. Total
number killed was less than died in fire-bombing raids. To put it all in
perspective, The japs killed a quarter million chinese civilians just
looking for the pilots who flew the Doolittle raid. Point being, the war
was a bloodbath, the nukes were shock-and-awe, and ultimately it was a
small sacrifice that had to be made..

They got scared of the power of the bombs. Not the loss of the two cities.
Wich means dropping the bombs on desolate areas would have had the same
effect. Wich means the sacrifice was pointless. Both the invasion and the
sacrifice could have been avoided by dropping the nukes on desolate areas.
It was pointless and people still suffer today because of the nukes.

Yes and the second bomb made them surrender. If the bombs had been dropped
on a desolate area, they would still have the same effect. Most likely even
bigger effect because that would have given the impression that they had so
many bombs that they could afford to "waste" some.

If a country wishes to go in an all-out war against another, then you have
declare war. Article 1 of the 1907 Hague Convention (III) didn't say you
have to declare war. It says that you have to give a neutral nation an
explicit warning "in the form either of a declaration of war, giving
reasons, or of an ultimatum with conditional declaration of war" which
Japan didn't do before and during the PH bombing. If you declare war
against a country over something small, it would invite more bloodshed.

Because they wouldn't surrender. The allies actually gave them two chances
to surrender or face ultimate destruction. The government of Japan had no
intention of surrendering and would have fought to the last of inch of
land. It would have cost thousands more American lives and millions of
Japanese lives.The cities were actually military targets unlike most

imperial navy and Hiroshima had bases in the middle of the cities

Actually, Kyoto, Tokyo, and Yokohama had already been flattened by the

Breaking up too easily
Ekin Cheng may star in a movie about breaking up, but he laments how young people do it so casually
Published on Aug 10, 2014 1:35 PM
In Hong Kong's 1990s entertainment scene, actor Ekin Cheng was hair, there and everywhere.
Even though his flowing locks these days are a lot shorter than his signature shoulder- length look from two decades ago, he has managed to keep them looking mighty fine at the age of 46.
His luscious head of hair is practically a co-star in his latest movie, Break Up 100, where his floppy sideswept fringe bounces and sways whenever he moves.
What is his secret to his pretty mane?

The Buffalo Sabres have officially signed head coach Ted Nolan to a full-time contract, the team announced Monday.
Nolan has served as interim head coach since November, when the Sabres overhauled the face of their franchise by firing general manager Darcy Regier and head coach Ron Rolston.
The Sabres signed Nolan to a reported three-year extension, according to CBSSports.com.
"I said back in November that it was a dream to be able to come back and coach the Sabres and that's still true today," Nolan said. "Hockey is my life and Buffalo is a special place for hockey. I'm excited by the challenge facing our team and our organization and I'm truly thankful to have this opportunity."
The Sabres currently sit in last place with a 20-45-9 record after a franchise-worst 4-15-1 start to the season under Rolston. Buffalo hasn't fared much better under Nolan since the change, going 1-10-1 in its last 12. But general manager Tim Murray thinks he's tapped the right guy for the job.
"We are very happy to get this deal done and have Ted Nolan as our permanent head coach going forward," Murray said. "Teddy has proven time and again that he is an exceptional leader, motivator and teacher. He is exactly what we need in a head coach for our hockey team and we're confident in his ability to guide our players and turn this team around."
Nolan coached the Sabres to a 73-72-19 record in the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons, and spent time as head coach of the New York Islanders.

Dirty Gourmet was born when Aimee, Mai-Yan, and Emily all found themselves at a crossroads in their lives. Aimee and Mai-Yan had just returned to Los Angeles after a four month bike tour through Canada, and Emily had moved out of her cabin in the woods to live in the real world again. We were all interested in taking on a fun new project together, and decided to turn our shared passion for food and adventure into something tangible.
Being the outdoor foodies that we are, we naturally started experimenting with our favorite home recipes in our various outdoor excursions. That led to much success and also a few disappointments. With our combined experiences, we found that we had quite an arsenal of ideas and endless excitement for creating new recipes. During one of our first Dirty Gourmet camping trips we prepared a record 14 dishes in one day, and realized two things — that we needed to have more people camping with us (so we wouldn't eat so much!), but more importantly, that we should share these taste bud-tingling recipes with fellow outdoor foodies.
If you have a question or comment, please write us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'm a former web developer, now full time mom of twins. I have a background in food science, and I have loved to cook since I was a little one. I have a serious sweet tooth and can't stop baking. I collect cookbooks, love a good hike, and am really crafty in my head. Picnicking in the park is my favorite way to eat.
I grew up in Quebec, Canada where meat, potatoes and bread are standard fare at the dinner table, especially during the cold 5–6 months of winter. When I moved to California to pursue a career in design, I discovered a totally different climate and a new world of cuisines. My newly found independence led to some serious experimenting in the kitchen & outdoors. I've since fallen in love with chap chae, risotto, cycling and rock climbing. My dad's home-cooked Chinese food is still what I call comfort food but Poutine is a close second.
I've never been much for compromising. I majored in both Biology and Philosophy, lived in the snowy mountains of sunny Southern California, and am now incorporating my love of both dirt and being fancy into one idea. I have been working as an outdoor science teacher since graduating from college, helping many L.A. kids see the excitement of the woods. During this time, I realized the importance of good food after eating the same meal plan every week for three years. I want to continue helping people find their way through the "real" world, and it is a whole lot easier getting people out of their box when their basic needs are not only met, but nourished. My hope for this project is that it will inspire new experiences and discoveries for those who would have only found excuses before. You can wear sparkly tights in the desert- they act as a great base layer.

These charcoals are odd - - - I love the idea of wooden charcoals they smell lovely when lighting! I got these in a combined pack back when I couldn't get Coco - They light easy enough with a heating coil but I've had issues with getting them to work properly on tin foil - So I tried it with my lotus and they just didn't get it hot enough - Maybe it takes more practice than what I'm use to but for me I'm just going to stick with Coco Nara -
These coals are amazing - They are a hassle to light but have smooth smoke and no taste - While lighting they do have a campfire smell which I love - Point is use these coals for special occasions like parties or such but stick to coco if its just any other day -
Okay, I am unsure why these are getting bad reviews - For people saying they're harsh, cut back on the heat - Yes they are inconsistant with the size and might need to be cut up if you pay attention is says these things in the product's deion but what do you want? It's carbonized wood - Honestly, they're not that hard to light - I stuck three little chunks on my single coil burner and they lit just like a coconara would - Yes, they do ash a lot, but again, it's a wooden coal - As one of the reviewers before me said, the purpose of hookah is to get a good, quality smoke from your shisha, and wooden coals probably get me the cleanest tasting sessions I have ever had - And honestly, I think it's kind of cool to have wooden embers on top of your hookah bowl - Just be sure to ash them, manage your heat properly, and your wooden coal session will be clean, flavorful, and just plain great -
Yes, these coals are chunky - They do leave a lot of ash - Anyone that is having a problem with harsh smoke should cut back on the pieces because once they are going they are hot - I love these when I smoke outside because I don't have to tend them as often - What a great natural coal -
First of all, if you're a real hookah enthusiast you will already know that this is the most natural form of hookah coal - Yes, it's a pain to break the coals up - Yes, there is also some inconsistency in the size of the coals - Yes, they stick while you are cooking/ heating your coals - Let's be real, quick lights are toxic as hell and coconut coal smoke lingers for days - Ultimately, these coals may not burn the longest, or ash the least, and not light as quickly as quick lights - BUT the whole point of smoking shisha is for the quality and taste of your smoke, and these coals are what it's all about if you are looking to get a real quality smoke - In my opinion, if you're using other coals you might as well soak some cigarette tobacco in glycerine and swamp ass sweat because you're wasting you time and health with quick lights, and missing out on a lot of flavor due to the coconut coals -
So these are great coals, smooth hookah smoke with no after taste - For those who say it burns, well you're just using too big of pieces - The problem is, these coals aren't for everyday uses - I have a gas burner and I need to move the coal around every 5 min and it takes time This is something to have for a small party, stick a coal in the oven or the burner go chat with friends and then smoke, but if you're by yourself I would say stick with the quick lights
The pieces can be awkward to use, and they do smell like a campfire when you light them, the the odor isn't terrible strong - But they are easily the cleanest tasting coals i've ever used!! I highly recommend these for veteran hookah smoker!
Bought this to try out - I usually smoke coco's and haven't had a problem - Set-up my new Mya QT and placed some small pieces of this lemonwood coals on top - Got it started and found that the smoke was coming through pretty harsh! Then tried it again on my Mya Econogon and same problem - 10min into the bowl and just harsh! took the coals off and popped on some cocos on - NOW i cant complain! i have tired the lemonwood coal with 2 medium sized chunks i cut up and then again with much smaller pieces so i knew i was not burning the tobacco and same deal! i would not recommend this to anyone - just stick to the coco's and you wont have a problem!
I'm now converted to natural coals - Yeah it's not as convenient as little cubes, but the cooler burning and quick light time makes up for it -
Picked these up on recommendation of a friend from Jordan - While useable, these are best suited for actual hookah cafe with multiple hookahs in use - Stick to coco nara for home use -
It seems like no one had written a review about them for years and here i go - I have used natural coals all my life and hate the quick lights because of their awful taste ,and these coals doesn't have a bit of tasteBefore using these ones i was a fan of coconara but when i will never buy cocos again because of their weird taste on the background They don't last as long as coconut based coals but it has certainly clearer smoke compared to them ,and beside by putting new coals to top you don't just burn the same part of bowl for 30 min like u did in coco's Even tough it's a bit ashy they are great coals and if you know how to handle the heat management don't look for anything else -
These are some really nice natural coals. They do come in large chunks that need to be broken down. I use 1 large chunk to go across the top of my Mya vortex hookah. Works Great! My first experience with these I used Rommaan Berry Breeze and Vanilla shisha mix, added ice to the base. Very nice clean smoke. Shisha never once went harsh! No weird charcoal after taste either. When cleaning up for the night though, i noticed alot of ash! Defiantly an outdoor coal But very nice!
These coals are ok. They have no flavor and light fairly quickly. That said however be aware that they smoke like crazy while lighting, they ash a lot and they have a tendency to split once lit, which can ruin your carpet. Also they are supplied in big chunks that you have to break up to use. Not bad for the money but I'm sticking to CoCo's.
its probably because im spoiled by cocoraras and exoticas but i am defiantly not a fan of these. when they say natural wood charcoal they really mean it. these things are burnt chunks of wood.
At first I was a little put off by the HUGELY varying sizes of individual coals and what it took to light them. I had been told that once you figured them out they produced an outstanding smoke so I spent a couple nights figuring them out and I couldn't be more pleased. There is little to no smoke off of these and they're nearly flavorless. I had one weird coal that tasted and smelled a little sweet, it actually improved the flavor of the shisha. What I've been doing: 1.Lighting them directly on an electric burner or my butane camp stove. 2.Using one large nearly covers the screen piece or three small quick start coal size pieces. 3.I only light one side, let it burn for a minute, place it on the screen lit side up, then put the wind screen mostly down coals last longer doing this. Note: The small pieces burn out a little faster than I like but lighting another coal or two fixes that problem right up.

Great Shell Jacket
This was my first Arc'teryx product. I never thought I'd spend the money for it, but this jacket is going to be my favorite for a longtime. Great fitting, lightweight, packable, durable, large fitted hood, and has strong VELCRO®-brand fastener cuffs to seal you off from the downpours. I used this jacket hiking with pack up above snowline. The long pit vents make it very easy to regulate heat. The hood tucks away nicely in collar. The newest favorite jacket of mine, I can't wait to use it on the slopes this winter.

BUT - I also have modem 05.16.05.
I moved to other country where I can't use AT&T anymore, I spoke with them and offered them money for unlocking my Iphone, unfortunately they don't provide this kind of service, therefore I stuck with great iphone that can't use SIM card...

If you are using higher than the 5.13 baseband, then you will have the 6.15 update to the iPad use the redsn0w. If you want to jailbreak an unrestricted, then you will really is 4.3.3 or earlier. 4.1 is still signed, so you can not any problems.Once escape to the installation and correct baseband downgrade, and then you only need to use Cydia and download ultrasnow unlock.

Everyone that is having this problem :-
Are you on contract that has expired? Or Pay & Go?
If the contract is up then you are entitled to have your phone unlocked, your carrier cannot restrict this.
If you're on Pay & Go you will need to check to see if you meet the requirements to having your handset unlocked to all carriers. Again if you do then your carrier cannot restrict which network you use it on anymore.
iOS devices do not unlock in the same way that phones such as Nokia etc etc.
The carriers have to send a request to Apple, who then change a value on their iPhone database. What happens then is your network advises you when Apple have informed them this has been done. You then plug it into iTunes with a SIM card of a different provider and select 'Restore' it will then download and install the latest iOS available to that device and proceed with the unlock. It will take a little while longer than a normal update but after that it will be fine.
Remember to do a backup of your handset BEFORE you click the restore button. However if you're going from 4.x.x to 5.0.1 it will not restore from a backup at a later stage as they are not compatible so backup your contacts to something like Outlook or another compatible program
Check your country's laws on SIM carrier locking if your carriers still refuse to contact Apple, failing that see if Apple will do it direct for you.
Just checked the oracle that is Wikipedia and in the US AT&T have stated that they will refuse to unlock any iPhone regardless of whether your contract has ended or not. My understanding of how contracts work is that during the contract period you are paying for the handset in addition to the airtime, thus by the end of the term you have paid for the handset in full (at least what they paid for it). By definition of ownership they surely have no legal power to be able to dictate what network it is used on and if you wish to remove their personalistion of YOUR then you should be allowed.
As I have said above if they still refuse you should contact Apple and demand that your iPhone is unlocked to access which ever network you want as effectively you have paid the price of the device had it originally been 'generic'

Subject: Re:Man Overboard
Hi Mark Howe, Jim French here, nice note on MOB. Sounds to me like you are
right or have the
right ideas.So much depends on conditions and experience. I am just throwing this in
conversation. I always do a quick review of procedure and assignments, in the existing conditions. ON EVERY VOYAGE
There is the "Call of MOB and the POINT" usually the person that does the Call does the POINT the job of putting Eye and a Finger pointing on the mob person and keeping
the person in sight, no matter what the boat may do. Pointer may call the location in
degrees or quadrants relative to the boat but "never" takes eyes off the victim so location is not lost. the initial course and point of sail is noted by the skipper
"The Ring Toss" I think that is right toss one right on
them with a flag
and pole and strobe hopefully.Use a tethered one if you can''t come close aboard with the boat. Can I ask why are they with out a Life jacket? or float coat at the
least. Very darn important because how that overboard happened usually involves
a knock in the
head, at any rate Toss and don''t waste it,be accurate, be sure.
Boat handlilng now is the time to sail your very best. Depending on the "point of sail" You must know your sailing circle... I would recommend a standard be practiced. In all conditions you want to finish by reaching toward the victim so you can come up or fall off and so you can ease all sheets and stop next to the victim.
one wants the recovery to be safe for all and quick for several reasons.
The Classic is the figure 8., a tack, is safer than a jibe, remember watch out for all jibes, *easing all sheets, completely* as the victim is to leeward... And there one can use the "heave too" by backing the jib and easing the main (how are you going to use the jib for winching in the victim if it is backed?)
*The real caution is not to have an uncontrolled jibe on the return...when all crew standing up looking back pointing then get whacked off the boat by that wild jibe...
Recovery into the doused jib,
what are you doing? slacking a a genoa into the water and having a person climb in and
wincing them up 6 feet of freeboard? maybe, there is the problem of freeboard. But sounds like a looser to me a good way to ruin a jib and get sheets in the water where a moving prop could get
segway into several real reasons not to use a motor. As a sailing instructor I have
cut the motor off for safety reasons when flesh is outside the boat. Try several large loops in a large lilne one foot and 2 foot apart and 6 foot so both feet and one hand can grab into the line and winch in a chest line and a cusheon on the rail to avoid the broken rib on the toe rail
Control is the issue and in those moments skills in sailing beat reliance on motors.
Be aware of lines overboard and they do get fouled around a moving prop causing a bigger problem.
By the way everyone should try to swim with clothes on and a life jacket on, or with a ring on. Swimming does''nt happen .... mob now is the time to keep
sharp and not get
panicked aboard or if you are the mob yourself.. Victim ... .. wave those arms,
don''t swallow
water and don''t panic or get wildly fearful, grab that floating thing, get out of heavy
clothing, but keep the clothing near you, did you ever hear about the navy fellow
that blew off a
carrier in the gulf of iran he tied knots into his pants and kept scooping air into them
to get some
floatation, 24 hour survivor... remember BE a SURVIVOR ....live Bodies Float...
get a lot of air in
and keep it there.
Stories? I think it would be good discussion to hear them. I have bunch but ... one
involved my
teaching in Newport Beach California mid 1960''s in sabots one evening a great gal
up,OCC Crew base, in an all leather Gucci out fit, beautiful... I ask her "you ''re not sailing tonight?'' "you are, you can''t"
"I am " "not in that out fit, even a splash will ruin it?" "it looks unsafe " "OH yes I am I insist I
insist, "I am"
sailing tonight. JIm don''t worry about my my outfit"
my co-instructor Tracey gave an ok so out voted... so it
was ...... regardless of ones wealth or fashion sense there are clothes that are
dangerous aboard a
capsizing boat or aboard any boat... skip the leather. I was young she was insistent
she capsized...
the only rescue boat I had then ,was a sabot I raced out to her... she was hanging
on by beautiful
long fingernails, with only her nose above the water, breathing real fast and shallow,
and the sabot
turtled, had those fingernails slipped... I reached over and pulled her up on the
bottom of the boat
only to find her bare bottom her leather pants were down around her leather boots. I
said "OH!" and
asked about the pants I lowered her in half way and retrieved the pants. I''ll never be
that young
again, I will win that argument with the beautiful older than me female or male for
that matter..no
dangerous outfits aboard. She lived, I''m a Red Cross Certified tower trained guard
and then Red
Cross Certified sailing instructor... going down into the Bay on a deep dive for an
person that can''t tread water pants wrapped around shoes..is last on my list of.. just
suffice to say,
be really wise about clothing. I have several other really choice overboard stories.
You will never be
sorry you practiced Man over board drills.

Over 60 % of power generated comes from thermal projects
NEW DELHI: Shortage of coal supply to power stations could make electricity supply situation worse this summer. "The coal supply position to thermal power stations in the country is not comfortable," Minister of State for Power Jairam Ramesh told the Rajya Sabha on Monday.
Mr. Ramesh, who was replying to a question on shortage of coal and gas in power projects, said: "As on April 14, 2008, out of 77 coal-based thermal power stations, 24 are critical, having a coal stock of less than seven days. The all-India stock is also low at 10.841 million tonnes, against a normative requirement of 22 million tonnes."
Over 60 per cent of the power generated in the country comes from thermal projects.
Mr. Ramesh said rigorous monitoring of supply of coal to power stations was on at all levels to optimise the supply from various sources.
Besides urging the Ministry of Coal to augment production of coal, the government was also considering import of coal to meet the domestic shortfall and arranging 'regasified liquefied natural gas.' New coal blocks were being allocated by the Ministry of Coal to power producers and utilities for captive mining to meet requirement of their power plants.
Mr. Ramesh said the production and supply of gas in the country was also not keeping pace with the growing demand, including that of the power sector.
"The average gas supply during 2007-08 was 37.06 metric million standard cubic metres per day (MMSCMD), against the requirement of 65.67 MMSCMD to operate the power stations at 90 per cent plant load factor."
Replacement of insulators
Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, in reply to a question, said work had started to replace conventional insulators with polymer insulators to check tripping of the northern grid during winter due to fog and pollution.
"Replacement work is first being done on the vulnerable lines mostly falling in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi. A committee has also been set up by the Central Electricity Authority to inquire into the partial grid disturbances that occurred in the northern region in March," he said.
The government had set up an ambitious target to augment generation capacity during the 11th Five-Year Plan. A capacity addition of 78,577 MW was envisaged during 2007-12.
"Out of this, projects aggregating 9,263 MW were commissioned in 2007-08, and projects worth 62,847 MW are under construction under various power generation companies. We have to cover up the deficits of earlier plan periods."

Post subject: How to open an MS Access database with OO Base in Linux
I've got OOo V2.1 installed on my Mandrake 10.1 Linux box. I'm having a real problem getting an Access database to open. I've got unixODBC installed which I read somewhere was a requirement, though I don't think its configured correctly. When I try to 'connect' to the database, OO Base crashes although I don't get any type of output from the crash. I was hoping it would just be a matter of clicking on the Access DB and it would open, however that has turned out to not be the case. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

there is no way to my knowledge that you open a MSAccess Database with OOoBase in a Linux environment just like that. Moreover, you won't be able to use MSAccess Forms at all. It is relatively easy to make the data stored in your MSAccess tables available. To do that with OOo Calc you have to create a OOoBase Database in the Windows environment with the Acess Data imported. That then can be used in the Linux environment.
here some links for further details
I personally am still looking to replace MSAccess by a suitable Linux compatible application and am doing so for the past two years. The best bet at the moment I think is KNODA (www.knoda.org). With the latest version 0.8.3. you can open MSAccess Databases under Linux just like that. But you'll also have the problem that the Forms won't work.

As I am currently facing a similar problem (without the crashes) as the original poster (capot), I might be able to add my two cents here... and a new question:
I work on Ubuntu Edgy and until a few days ago I had the OO-Version 2.0.4 from the Ubuntu repository installed. I remember that in the dropdown box "connect to an existing database" there was an entry called "Microsoft Access", enabling me to open an existing MS Access Database.
Unfortunately, due to a bug in the Ubuntu-version of OO, I recently switched to version 2.1 from the OpenOffice-website (installing from the deb-package). That Ubuntu-bug is gone now, but like the original poster in this thread (
) I am now missing the "Microsoft Access" entry in the dropdown box.
So, there clearly must be a way to open an MS Access database on Linux systems! Could it be that the Ubuntu version contains some additional drivers (or whatever) that the original version is lacking? And does anybody know how I can re-install them?

According to my knowledge the MSAccess driver is part of the Windows OOoBase but not the Linux version. But as I mentioned above, if you only have the Acces database and no access to a Windows machine, then you can use KNODA to open an MSAccess Database in Linux, save it in MySQL Format and then open it with OOoBase. If you do have acces to a windows machine, open the MSAccess database with OOoBase and copy the tables to a new OOoBase database which then can be opened on the Linux machine.
Always keep in mind though, you only gain access to the tables. Queries, Forms and Reports won't work and you'll run into various problems when your original database contains fields with the datatypes Binary and Date/Time.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I do realize that in theory I would need Windows to access an Access-file... however, I clearly remember that I found the "Microsoft Access" entry in the dropdown box under Ubuntu Edgy.
Before switching to 2.1 I was able to open two MS Access databases in OpenOffice under Linux.
What am I missing here?

Hello Elven,
In order to connect with MS database engine (that I think is called MS Jet 4) you must have acquired these drivers somewhere.
I have a rig with OpenSuse 10.1 and OO.o 2.0 (build 220.127.116.11) and there is no MS Access in the dropdown list (just double-checked now before post here).
So, there is no driver on 184.108.40.206 and OpenSuse 10.1.
Probably there will be no driver on 2.0.4 unless something odd have leaked but any way that was "fixed" and there is no driver in 2.1.
I do not know Ubuntu, but lets assume they don't want to fight with MS and deliver MS database engine drives with their builds.
So, the only thing I can imagine is that somehow, you must have downloaded these drivers and/or something you installed should have included them AND the OO.base for Linux recognized them.
Anyway, it all seems that is against the flow and you should not expect a natural, supported connection of MS Access from OO.o in Linux environment.
My advise is: Migrate the database from JET to HSQL
1. Find a Windows XP machine with OO.o
2. Copy the xxx.mdb files into that machine.
3. Create a new OO database from a connection to the xxx.mdb (MS Access)
4. Create a new OO database type HSQL (the standard OO.base)
5. Copy/Paste the connection into the HSQL (you need to know all the columns information - unfortunately)
6. Save the HSQL database in OpenDocument format
7. Goto your Ubuntu machine, forget MS Access and good luck !!

Tilebaths.comRead MoreQuality ceramic and mosaic tile craftsmanship is in John Vadurro's blood. His family emigrated from Italy to the United States more than 60 years ago, bringing with them the knowledge and tradition of such vocations. He bolsters those traditions, however, by keeping abreast of current pattern trends and color schemes. At TileBaths, he oversees all projects, from the initial consultation to the post-production of custom-designed tiles. To ensure high-quality artisan tile work, everyone on his team has undergone at least five years of apprenticeship. Besides crafting pieces for the kitchen, bathroom, and home, they also repair tile and offer upkeep services such as re-caulking.10932 Telechron AvenueWhittier, CA US

Rode Brothers Wood FloorsRead MoreSince 1994, Wing Stop's franchise locations?more than 600 currently operating or in the works?have cooked up and served more than 2 billion wings, and amassed a considerable following. Whether regular or boneless, these modern-day game-day staples come in one of the shop's 10 signature flavors: Louisiana rub and hickory-smoked barbecue have a classic spicy kick, whereas tanginess prevails in the lemon pepper, Hawaiian, and teriyaki. Because the wings are always made to order, they derive their heat from their seasonings and their recent stay inside the fryer, rather than from heat lamps or tiny, individual Snuggies. The same amount of care goes into the Wing Stop's housemade sides, which range from fries that are cut daily at each shop to the bourbon baked beans. Even the honey mustard, blue cheese, and ranch dipping sauces are mixed onsite.8406 Osage AveLos Angeles, CA US
