A computed tomography (CT) scan of the heart is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create detailed pictures of the heart and its blood vessels.
CAT scan - heart; Computed axial tomography scan - heart; Computed tomography scan - heart; Calcium scoring; Multi-detector CT scan - heart; Electron beam computed tomography - heart; Agaston score; Coronary calcium scan
You will be asked to lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner. You will lie on your back with your head and feet outside the scanner on either end.
Small patches, called electrodes are put on your chest and connected to a machine that records your heart's electrical activity. You may be given medicine to slow your heart rate.
Once you are inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you. (Modern "spiral" scanners can perform the exam without stopping.)
A computer creates separate images of the body area, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. Three-dimensional models of the heart can be created by stacking the slices together.
You must be still during the exam, because movement causes blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods of time.
The entire scan should only take about 10 minutes.
Certain exams require a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on the x-rays.
If you weigh more than 300 pounds, find out if the CT machine has a weight limit. Too much weight can cause damage to the scanner's working parts.
You will be asked to remove jewelry and wear a hospital gown during the study.
Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast given through an IV may cause a slight burning sensation, a metallic taste in the mouth, and a warm flushing of the body. These sensations are normal and usually go away within a few seconds.
CT rapidly creates detailed pictures of the heart and its arteries. The test may diagnose or detect:
Results are considered normal if the heart and arteries being examined are normal in appearance.
Your doctor can use the results of this test to determine your "calcium score." The score is based on the amount of calcium found in the arteries of your heart.
The test is normal (negative) if your calcium score is 0.This means the chance of having a heart attack over the next 2 to 5 years is very low. If the calcium score is very low, you are unlikely to have coronary artery disease.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Your doctor may also give you a "calcium score" after this test. If your calcium score is high, it means you have calcium buildup in the walls of your coronary arteries. This is a sign of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. The higher your score, the more severe this condition may be. Talk to your doctor about the results of your heart CT scan and calcium score.
Risks of CT scans include:
CT scans do expose you to more radiation than regular x-rays. Having many x-rays or CT scans over time may increase your risk for cancer. However, the risk from any one scan is small. You and your doctor should weigh this risk against the benefits of getting a correct diagnosis for a medical problem.
Some people have allergies to contrast dye. Let your doctor know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to injected contrast dye.
Rarely, the dye may cause a life-threatening allergic response called anaphylaxis. If you have any trouble breathing during the test, you should notify the scanner operator immediately. Scanners come with an intercom and speakers, so the operator can hear you at all times.

I was given a swarm in early July. It probably had 1000 bees. This is my first hive. I put it in a new deep, 10 frame hive body, with plastic foundation.
The bees immediately went to work building. I would open about once a week to check and was excited to see the progress. They were building pretty fast it seemed. After a few weeks it seemed like I had a lot more drones than my dads hive across town. I got to checking and could never find a queen and started looking at brood and it was a lot different than my dads hive also. It was all drone cell and had mutli larvae in cells. I came to conclusion I had a laying worker. My dad let me have a frame of brood and some nurse bees put them in hive hoping they would build a queen cell but, I had no luck. So, first week in August I bought a carnolian queen and installed her in hive bees ate her out of cage in a day and balled her outside hive, I rescued her and put her back in cage and replaced queen candy and they ate her out of cage in a day again and killed her. I ordered another queen at end of August and put her in cage with the hive and they seemed very aggressive and killed her nurse bees so I put her in a push cage and kept her there for 4 days and brushed all the bees out of hive about 100 yards from hive and then let her go. She is doing great and laying a lot of eggs but, now for my question..... I have very few bees probably less than 500 and I am afraid they will not make it through winter seems like they may have enough stores but not enough to stay warm. I see were people give them pollen patties to keep the queen laying but it cost more money. I am doing the sugar water to help, but do you guys have any suggestions and sorry for the long post just wanted u guys too know what time and effort I have invested. We usually freeze here about Oct. 31

Dawkins' decision to join the Saints, who ranked last among NFL offenses in 1997, was influenced by a dominating factor: his desire to be ``the man.''
``That was the No. 1 reason,'' Dawkins said in a telephone interview from his mother's house in Sunnyvale, Calif., ``to come there and be a starter and possibly be the No. 1 guy. Definitely, I took that into account.''
The acquisition of Dawkins means the Saints won't re-sign Randal Hill, a free agent who led New Orleans with 55 receptions for 761 yards last year.
``Randal is out the door,'' Saints general manager Bill Kuharich said. ``We won't pursue Randal.''
Dawkins' contract includes a $150,000 signing bonus, $400,000 base salary, $25,000 workout bonus and $175,000 roster bonus due Sept. 1, plus another $735,000 in incentives tied to his performance.
I'm not too pleased we took it,'' said Angelo Wright, Dawkins' agent. ``I fought long and hard against it. His mother told him, `Don't take it.
LOL amazing to look back at contracts then vs now.
Cleeland, a second-round draft choice from Washington, reportedly was struck in the face during a hazing incident early Thursday at the players' dormitory on the campus of the University of Wisconsin La Crosse.
"My vision is about the same, blurred, and it hurts a lot," Cleeland, an All-Pac-10 selection last season, said yesterday. "I saw a specialist on Sunday, and he said there is a sack of detached fluid around the retina that's causing the blurriness."
First-round draft choice Kyle Turley, an offensive tackle from San Diego State, and rookie free-agent Jeff Danish also received minor injuries in the hazing incident that happened the final night of training camp.
Today, Cleeland has a construction development company and has settled down with his wife, former Husky softball and basketball player Mindy Williams, and their two young boys.

What would be the best method for doing this? Newspaper combine? Should I get rid of one of the queens before I try to combine, or let them duke it out? I don't want to start a huge bee battle and lose all of them....thanks!

Oxford U. Researchers Win Prize With Solar Coatings
Develop a hi-tech coating with the potential to significantly reduce the manufacturing costs of new-generation solar photovoltaic cells.
(L-R) Dr Vladimir Kuznetsov, Seni Group, Professor Peter Edwards and Dr Jamie Ferguson at Oxford's Department of Chemistry.
Researchers at the University of Oxford have won a major materials science prize to develop a high-technology coating with the potential to significantly reduce the manufacturing costs of new-generation solar photovoltaic cells.
Professor Peter Edwards, Head of Inorganic Chemistry at The University of Oxford and Fellow of St Catherine's College, Oxford, will use the £25,000 Materials Science Venture Prize, awarded by the Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers, to develop manufacturing processes for his group's transparent conducting oxide coatings.
The global market for solar photovoltaic cells was worth US$28 billion in 2009.
Currently, Indium tin oxide (ITO) is used by over 97 per cent of the transparent conducting oxide market as it possesses a near-ideal combination of high visible-light transparency and high electrical conductivity. However, indium metal is relatively scarce, expensive and has a highly volatile price. China produces over half of the world's indium and has recently significantly reduced its export quotas. The total market for ITOs is estimated to be worth US$26.8 billion by 2016.
The new coatings were developed as part of a program to investigate low-cost, earth abundant materials and inexpensive deposition routes which could be used for large-area transparent conducting oxide coatings for products such as solar photovoltaic cells. These coatings are based on silicon-doped zinc oxide and provide a much-needed alternative to indium tin oxide.
Professor Edwards said: "Zinc is a much more abundant material than indium, and our silicon-doped zinc oxide material offers electrical conductivities around two thirds of ITO, with comparable optical transparency. In addition to solar cells, our new coating could be used with lighting displays and LCD displays used in smart phones, computers and televisions."
"This new coating could seriously reduce costs for manufacturers and consumers in a very exciting and growing industry, said Professor Bill Bonfield, chairman of the Armourers & Brasiers Venture Prize judging panel. "Our aim is to encourage innovative scientific entrepreneurship and help providing funding, which is often very difficult to source, to help bring new materials science research like this to market."

Recall -- Firm Press Release
FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.
Publix Issues Voluntary Recall on Hearts of Romaine
Maria Brous,
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 25, 2012 - Publix Super Markets is issuing a voluntary recall for 10 ounce plastic bags of Publix Hearts of Romaine, Chopped Hearts of Romaine, due to the fact that they may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. Ready Pac is the supplier of the private label product for the company. The UPC, located on the back right-hand corner of the package, is 41415 03886.
Publix received notification of the contamination from the US Food and Drug Administration after a routine sample collection. Product was distributed to Publix stores between September 8, 2012 through September 20, 2012 in select Florida counties, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee. The following Florida counties are affected by the recall: Alachua, Baldwin, Bay, Clay, Columbia, Duval, Escambia, Flagler, Leon, Marion, Nassau, Okaloosa, Putnam, Santa Rosa, St. Johns, Suwannee, Volusia and Walton.
Consumption of products containing Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infection in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
"While the product is no longer available on store shelves, we have issued a voluntary recall because of our commitment to food safety and to advise our customers who may still have this product at home," said Maria Brous, Publix media and community relations director. "No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the hearts of romaine. Consumers who have purchased the products in question may return the product to their local store for a full refund. Publix customers with additional questions may call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-242-1227 or by visiting our website at www.publix.com . Customers can also contact the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at 1-888-SAFEFOOD (1-888-723-3366)."
Publix is privately owned and operated by its 153,000 employees, with 2011 sales of $27.0 billion. Currently Publix has 1,061 stores in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. The company has been named one of FORTUNE's "100 Best Companies to Work For in America" for 15 consecutive years. In addition, Publix's dedication to superior quality and customer service is recognized as tops in the grocery business, most recently by an American Customer Satisfaction Index survey.

If a workout brings on hives, it's less likely the perspiration and more likely your own body heat that's to blame.
ON A frigid winter's night, Lise Kavanagh doesn't bury herself under blankets. When she wakes up to a chilly morning, she doesn't take a hot shower. Nor will she dress in super warm clothes to head out for the day.
Is this superwoman immune to cold? Nope.
Instead, she's hyper-sensitive to heat. In fact, when her body temperature rises, she develops an itchy rash all over her body. Kavanagh has what's known as cholinergic urticaria or hives. Her body reacts with hives to the physical stimulus of heat.
Sometimes at the gym, you'll hear dubious tales of a runner who's "allergic to their own sweat". Chances are, it's not the perspiration – it's the heating up of the body through exercise that's causing the person to break out in a rash.
Cholinergic urticaria can be triggered by several heat-raising activities: jogging or aerobic workouts are obvious, but also hot baths or showers, eating spicy foods, and even emotional stress can bring on the hives.
For Kavanagh, "some of my worst attacks happen when I'm sleeping. Even if I have no blankets at all, when I stir in the night and end up on my back, the heat accumulates between the mattress and my skin, and I'll wake up with a rash all over my back."
While a relatively rare condition, experts say that 5 per cent of people who have chronic urticaria also experience the cholinergic symptoms. In the United States, it's estimated that one in five people will experience chronic urticaria in their lifetime.
Spotting the Condition
With cholinergic urticaria or CU, the hives are tiny, about the size of a ball point pen tip. The rash comes on rapidly, usually within a few minutes of perspiring, and can last from 30 minutes to an hour or more before receding once the body returns to normal temperature.
The hives or "wheals" are very itchy, and can be preceded by a burning, tingling and/or warm sensation.
The wheals may join to form a large mass of swelling, and some people also experience headaches, salivation, palpitations, fainting, shortness of breath, abdominal cramps and diarrhea.
Sports Breathing Issues: Asthma or Not?
"CU appears when the affected individual's body is heated by exertion or a situation that raises the core temperature of the body 2.7 degrees F or more," says Dr. Martin Ostro, staff physician with the division of allergy and immunology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Technically, it's not an actual allergy since cholingeric urticaria has no specific IgE, the allergic antibody, created to respond to a particular substance. But the mechanism of the reaction is similar to allergy.
In patients with chronic urticaria, modest amounts of heat will cause mast cells to release histamine and other chemicals, resulting in hives and swelling. Ostro says this disruption of the mast cells, and an increased tendency for this to occur, are in fact, the underlying causes of chronic urticaria.
How to Treat?
Avoidance is the best treatment for cholinergic hives, but that may be difficult in warm weather or when exercising. "CU can usually be prevented by daily administering a long-acting, non-sedating antihistamine, such as cetirizine [Zyrtec or Reactine]," says Ostro.
If a rash does appear, it helps to cool the area promptly. "Ice cubes are the best," says Kavanagh, "but I'm happy with cold water. Water is my best ally because wherever I am, water is fairly accessible."
Next: The Sweat Question

On Wednesday, March 16, I had an unforgettable experience. I was one of four kid reporters invited to a roundtable discussion about children's health with Michelle Obama.
We interviewed the First Lady at a picnic table in the White House Children's Garden, a secluded area that was built for White House children and grandchildren and decorated with their handprints. Mrs. Obama chatted with us about Let's Move, a campaign that she created in 2010 to reduce childhood obesity by encouraging kids to eat healthy foods and exercise daily. All of the kid reporters had the chance to ask the First Lady about how to solve the obesity problem in this country.
A Healthy Discussion
Many people in our country find it difficult to afford fresh fruits and vegetables. Some don't have the time to prepare fresh foods for their families. So I asked Mrs. Obama what advice she had for them. She suggested families buy frozen or canned vegetables to save time and money.
"What families should think about doing is making sure that there is some vegetable with every meal and maybe some fruit if possible," she said.
She then added that the expense of fresh produce is a problem. "It's up to us as a country to make sure that every family has access to and can afford fresh fruits [and vegetables]," the First Lady said. "That's an important issue that we have to work on as a nation."
Another recommendation that the First Lady offered to families is to cut out sugary drinks and replace them with water. But that doesn't mean that she thinks children should avoid sweet treats altogether. When I asked her whether schools should ban bake sales, birthday cupcakes and pizza, her answer was no.
"Being healthy isn't about eliminating all the fun stuff," Obama said. "It's all about moderation." The Obama family, she told us, saves desserts for the weekend.
In the Garden
Before the roundtable, I joined a crowd of reporters and photographers covering this year's replanting of the White House vegetable garden. Students from local elementary schools were there to help out. First, White House chef Sam Kass gave them a pep talk. Then, the First Lady spoke to the students. She revealed that the President doesn't like beets and that her daughters' favorite vegetables are spinach and broccoli.
Obama asked the students to try new foods and to educate those around them. "We're going to want you guys to pass this information on," she said, "and get your parents to cook some vegetables."
After the First Lady's speech, the students were ready to join Obama and the White House chefs down in the dirt. Together they planted peas, cauliflower, Swiss chard, leeks, turnips, lettuce and (sorry, Mr. President) even beets.

How does the Devil get his work done? With the greatest of ease, seems to be the answer. If you're interested in the various cultural and political processes whereby the anti-genocide mantra "Never Again" became "Oh, Go On, Then — Just One More Time," you might want to sit yourself down in front of HBO next Saturday (December 6 at 8 pm) and watch as much as you can bear of Sand and Sorrow. Director Paul Freedman's 90-minute documentary is narrated by George Clooney, who also served as the film's executive producer, and it pulls no punches: by the end of it the cremated villages of Darfur, the black and roofless stone huts with their bloodstained floors, have come to emblematize a different but simultaneous disaster — a kind of mutilation of the moral dimension, suffered not in Africa but here in the West.
The atrocities visited upon the non-Arabic tribespeople of Darfur by the Sudanese government and the Janjaweed militia are as old and familiar as the Earth. New York Times correspondent Nick Kristof describes for Freedman's camera his first encounter with a group of refugees who have fled across the border into neighboring Chad and are now gathered helplessly in a stark, symbolic landscape: under one tree is a man with his jaw shot off, under the next a mother whose children have been killed and thrown down the village well, to poison it, under the next . . . And so on. Nothing new there. What is different about Darfur, what gives the word its special place in the rolls of infamy, is the fact that everybody knows about it: no genocide has ever been quite as diligently reported, in real time, as this one, with the result that no genocide has ever called us to account with such urgency, and revealed such global levels of indifference.
Its perpetrators seem to have grasped this from the beginning — the idea that no one, whatever they did, would lift a hand to stop them. And so their impunity has the quality of an insane vindication. Sweeping from village to village on horseback, the Janjaweed are like men possessed: "They didn't ask questions," recalls one survivor. The Bush Administration has other fish to fry — a peace deal in the endless Sudanese civil war, and access to the government's files on Osama bin Laden — and the UN, hobbled by a China/Russia veto, is powerless. In Darfur the calculus of the world is laid bare: "People who do not represent a threat or a benefit," says Sudan scholar Gerard Prunier, "do not count."
Bumper-sticker compassion is easily scorned, and the slogan of the against-genocide-in-Darfur movement — "Not on Our Watch" — seems at first glance as useless or as effective as any other piece of advertising. But Freedman's film performs the great public service of reminding us that such slogans enter mass consciousness as a result of extraordinary individual efforts. At a mass rally in the Washington mall, Samantha Power, Pulitzer-winning author of A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide, celebrates the turnout with fellow organizers: "It's Sudanese, it's Jews, it's evangelicals, it's people who have crushes on George Clooney, it's Oprah watchers — it's America!" Conveyed there by whatever complication of noble and less-than-noble motives, the people were present for Darfur, in force. Conscience has a voice, wrote John Donne, "but we do not hearken to it. We talk it out, we jest it out, we drink it out, we sleep it out. . . . " Unless, he might have added, the voice belongs to George Clooney.

Reviews for this host's other properties
A quiet apartment in the Rehavia neighborhood not too far from the center.
About 20 minutes walk. The host is very friendly. We want to come back.
Very well located apartment, close to the old city. Noam was very helpful. We had a privacy in a quiet place. I really recommend to rent it.
Noam is a perfect host
His flat is very well located in the center of Jerusalem, not far from the old city nor the most interesting places to visit. I recommend you to rent his flat
Noam has been a perfect host
His flat is very well located in the center of Jerusalem, not far from the old city nor the most interesting places to visit.
I recommend you to rent his flat, that was clean, quiet and perfectly located
Noam's Central Apartment + garden & Wi-Fi (2) was perfect for our vacation in Jerusalem. Centrally located, a short distance on foot to the old city, food shops near by. A small terrace/garden which was ideal for breakfast and morning coffee and to ralax on in the evening. The garden should, however, be tidyed up a little bit.
The basement apartment was wonderfully cool on hot days and spacious enough for a family with two small children. The landlord was very helpful and the rental car was parked on the premises.
Die Souterrain-Wohnung war an den heißen Tagen wunderbar kühl und geräumig genug für eine Familie mit zwei kleinen Kindern. Der Vermieter war sehr hilfsbereit und der Mietwagen konnte auf dem Gelände geparkt werden.
Noam is fast and efficient in replying and providing his flat´s keys.
The flat is in a nice district in a walking distance from the Old Town, two minutes from a food shop and five minutes from the Azza Road with shops, local restaurants, a bank and a money changer (who is better than the opposite bank).
There is a sufficiently equiped kitchen there.
However, an overall clean-up and some small repairs would certainly make the stay there more pleasant.
We were particularly looking for a central place in Jerusalem with peace and quiet at times when we were not at the "roaming." We were totally in the apartment of Noam. When we arrived Noam had turned the light on and it was pleasantly warm. Wonderful beds. Also nice: a map of Jerusalem city center and the old town was there. Hiccups were the drain of the shower (the water running in the bathroom) and the service was a bit sparse. But that was more than made up by the service of Noam, in our case by email and SMS. He reacts quickly and appropriately. The location is excellent: just outside the busy traffic, ATM around the corner and within fifteen minutes walk to the old town. If you want further afield there is always a taxi to take you to the central bus station for 30 shekels, with buses to wherever you want. Oh yeah, do not forget, we asked Noam for a good restaurant because we had something to celebrate. Thus, we had a fantastic end to a long weekend in Jerusalem Pini's Kitchen. In short: highly recommended this apartment!
We waren vooral op zoek naar een centraal gelegen plek in Jeruzalem met rust en ruimte op de momenten dat we niet aan het "zwerven" waren. Dat vonden we helemaal in het appartement van Noam. Toen we aankwamen had Noam het licht aangedaan en was het aangenaam warm. Heerlijke bedden. Ook fijn: een kaart van Jeruzalem centrum en de oude stad lag al klaar. Een paar kleine minpuntjes waren de afvoer van de douche (het water loopt de badkamer in) en het servies was wat karig. Maar dat werd meer dan goed gemaakt door de service van Noam, in ons geval per mail en sms. Hij reageert heel snel en adequaat. De plek is voortreffelijk: net buiten het drukke verkeer, geldautomaat om de hoek en binnen het kwartier loop je naar de oude stad. Als je verder weg wilt is er altijd wel een taxi die je voor 30 shekel naar het centraal busstation brengt, met bussen waarheen je maar wilt. O ja, niet te vergeten, we vroegen Noam naar een goed restaurant omdat we wat te vieren hadden. Zodoende hadden we een fantastische afsluiting van een lang weekend Jeruzalem bij Pini's Kitchen. Kortom: een echte aanrader dit appartement!
Too little dishes, only 2 cups in the cupboard, ok.Kann Everything else you recommend.
Zu wenig Geschirr ,nur 2 Tassen im Schrank,sonst Alles ok.Kann man weiter empfehlen.

New York, June 15, 2011--Iran's ongoing assault against independent and opposition media has recently gained momentum, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. In recent weeks, a journalist died in custody for what his family said was a lack of adequate medical care, the government sentenced another journalist to 20 years in prison, arrested one more, and confirmed a 19 and a half year prison term for a blogger known as the "Blogfather."
New York, December 14, 2010--In a continuation of its relentless attack on independent and opposition media, Iranian authorities have arrested three journalists from the daily Sharq, bringing the number of the newspaper's incarcerated staffers to seven in less than a week, according to news reports. In other developments, veteran journalist Mashallah Shamsolvaezin, at left, has been sentenced to 16 months in prison, the BBC reported, and blogger Hossein Derakhshan was returned to jail after being temporarily released on bail, according to a blog entry posted by his family on Saturday.
The severity of the nearly 20-year jail sentence handed down to veteran Iranian blogger Hossein Derakhshan, left, has shocked many exiled Iranian journalists and bloggers with whom I've spoken. It's also reinforced their belief that the best way to help jailed colleagues is not through quiet diplomacy but by making a lot of noise.
New York, September 28, 2010--The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the government's ongoing offensive against critical journalists in Iran. A Revolutionary Court today sentenced blogger Hossein Derakhshan, left, to 19 and a half years in prison, the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran quoted the Farsi news website Mashreq as saying. And on Monday, Iranian authorities informed the lawyer of Issa Saharkhiz, a prominent columnist and founding member of the Association of Iranian Journalists, that he has been sentenced to three years in prison, a five-year ban on political and journalistic activities, and a one-year travel ban, the reformist news website Jonbesh-e Rah-e Sabz reported.
New York, February 3, 2010—Iranian
authorities are now holding at least 47 journalists in prison, more than any
single country has imprisoned since 1996, according to a new survey by the
Committee to Protect Journalists. While many of the detainees were arrested in the aftermath of the disputed June presidential election, CPJ's survey found that authorities are continuing to wage an aggressive campaign to round up independent and opposition journalists. At least 26 journalists have been jailed in the last two months alone, CPJ found.

Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.

Reviews of this property
As experience was not entirely positive as the address given on arrival, the guy who manages some apartments on this website ciha said of not being able to hand over the keys of the accommodation we had dcelto for failure to exhaust of the bath.
She showed us to another room that did not have the opportunity to refuse. The presence of food in the doors of the kitchen made us think that it was not even ready to welcome new guests. The confirmation has it given the poor cleaning of the kitchen and the floor. in principle we did not want anything except the hair dryer because the one supplied was not working.
Come esperienza non è stata del tutto positiva dato che all'arrivo all'indirizzo indicato, il ragazzo che si occupa della gestione di alcuni appartamenti su questo sito ciha detto di non poterci consegnare le chiavi dell'alloggio che avevamo dcelto per un guasto allo scarico del bagno.
Ci ha accompagnati in un altro locale che non avevamo la possibilità di rifiutare. La presenza del cibo negli sportelli della cucina ci ha fatto pensare che non era neanche pronto ad accogliere nuovi ospiti. La conferma ce l'ha data la scarsa pulizia della cucina e del pavimento. in linea di massima non ci è mancato niente se non l'asciugacapelli perchè quello in dotazione non funzionava.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great host, nice location, very recommended!
When I arrived in the apartment, the manager said the pipe of the apartment is out of order. So, he proposed to stay the temporary apartment for two days.
The temporary apart was very dirty, very small, a lot of roachs and bad bed.
I could not sleep the temporary area. My family was very unhappy yo the situation.
I complained to the manager the next day and then he move us better apartment. After two days from our arrived, we could go to our apartment,
Finally, the apartment that I reserved was good location and nice. The manager was very kind and supported all.
But we have to move three times and had bad image for London travel and wasted times during my vacation for the period.
Arriving at the door of the accommodation, the owner reports a fault and gives us a much more distant apartment or cancel the reservation and stay on the street (5 persons).
We were forced to move to another "apartment" his (if you can call it) much farther, just dirty, nothing to do with the photos that appear on the website Wimdu (should check what they offer). It upsets all our plans of travel, schedules, etc., of all holidays.
After all, the owner, was friendly and concerned, facilitating everything related to the initial change of location.
Al llegar, en la puerta del alojamiento, el propietario nos informa de una avería y nos ofrece otro apartamento mucho más lejano o cancelar la reserva y quedarnos en la calle (5 personas).
Nos vimos obligados a cambiar a otro "apartamento" suyo (si se le puede llamar así) mucho más alejado, bastante sucio, nada que ver con las fotos que aparecen en la web de WIMDU (deberían chequear lo que ofrecen). Todo ello nos trastocó nuestros planes de desplazamientos, horarios, etc, de todas las vacaciones.
Despues de todo, el propietario, se mostró amable y preocupado, facilitándonos todo lo relativo al cambio inicial de ubicación.
On average, a bit bland, except for master bed sheets, bath apartment just is not fit if you are not with the door open, maintaining very fair. Cutlery, pans old pans, moreover Joe was very nice and told us where everything was.
El apartamento normal, un poco soso, sin sabanas excepto para cama principal, el baño justo no se cabe si no se esta con la puerta abierta, el mantenimiento muy justo. Cubiertos, cacerolas sartenes viejas, por lo demas Joe fue muy agradable y nos indico donde estaba todo.
Asked the chamber being in work were redirected us to another apartment.
We never saw the host, everything is done by phone.
Good experience, a little far from the subway, especially late in the tourist day.
Luckily we were only 2 couples maximum, but the rental can accommodate many people.
Good experience and ample okay apartment
La chambre demandé étant en travaux nous avons été redirigé dans un autre appartement.
Nous n'avons jamais vu l'hôte, tout c'est fait par téléphone.
Bonne expérience, un peu loin du métro, surtout en fîn de journee touristique.
Une chance nous étions que 2 couples au maximum, mais la location peut accueillir beaucoup de monde.
Bonne expérience, et appartement amplement correct
When we arrived in London Joe I got very friendly and explained to us how everything worked.
Cuando llegamos a Londres Joe nos recibio muy amable y nos explico como funcionaba todo.
Joe was very welcoming and friendly at all times. I target and helped us about the possibilities both transportation and shopping.
Joe fue muy amable y cordial en todo momento. Nos oriento y ayudo acerca de las posibilidades tanto de transporte como de compras.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is poised to make its mark on the Web. With good implementations in Internet Explorer 5.0 and Opera 3.6, and 100% support expected in Netscape's "Mozilla" browser, signs are that CSS is rapidly becoming a useful, reliable, and powerful tool for web authors.CSS is the W3C-approved method for enriching the visual presentation of web pages. Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide offers a complete, detailed review of CSS1 and CSS positioning, as well as an overview of CSS2. Each property is explored in detail with a discussion of how each interacts with other properties. There is also information on how to avoid common mistakes in interpretation.This book is the first major title to cover CSS in a way that both acknowledges and describes current browser support, instead of simply describing the way things work in theory. It offers both web authors and scripters a comprehensive guide to using CSS effectively.Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide targets veteran web authors who have already invested thousands of hours in learning HTML and writing web pages and are wondering why they need to learn a brand new language of style. This book supplies those dubious but curious web authors with the information they need to easily implement CSS for their web site.This book also addresses an audience of novice web authors who are already straining to learn all of the tags and attributes of HTML and can benefit now from implementing CSS correctly instead of repeating the mistakes of the past.The author has extensive experience writing about pitfalls and interesting tricks in CSS. He is a member of the CSS&FP Working Group, coordinates the W3C's
CSS1 Test Suite
, remains active on CSS newsgroups, and edits Web Review's

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animals on the cover of Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide are salmon (salmonidae), which is a family of fish consisting of many different species. Two of the most common salmon are the Pacific salmon and the Atlantic salmon.Pacific salmon live in the northern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of North America and Asia. There are five subspecies of Pacific salmon, with an average weight of ten to thirty pounds and an average age of five years. Pacific salmon are born in the fall in freshwater stream gravel beds, where they incubate through the winter and emerge as inch-long fish. They live for a year or two in the stream or lake, and then head downstream to the ocean. There they live for a few years, before heading back upstream to their exact place of birth to spawn and then die.Atlantic salmon live in the northern Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of North America and Europe. There are many subspecies of Atlantic salmon, including the trout and the char. Their typical size is ten to twenty pounds, with an average age of seven to ten years. The Atlantic salmon family has a similar life cycle to its Pacific cousins, from freshwater gravel beds to the sea. A major difference between the two, however, is that the Atlantic salmon does not die after spawning; it can return to the ocean and then return to the stream to spawn again, usually two or three times.Salmon, in general, are graceful, silver-colored fish with spots on their backs and fins. Their diet consists of plankton, insect larvae, shrimp, and smaller fish. Their unusually keen sense of smell is thought to be what helps them navigate from the ocean back to the exact spot of their birth, upstream past many obstacles. Some species of salmon remain landlocked, living their entire lives in freshwater.Salmon are an important part of the ecosystem, as their decaying bodies provide fertilizer for streambeds. Their numbers have been dwindling over the years, however. Factors in the declining salmon population include habitat destruction, fishing, dams that block spawning paths, acid rain, droughts, floods, and pollution.

A very easy to read book. Only major problem is that it needs updating and I would prefer that CSS2 not be limited to a single chapter. For example all the pseudo-classes should be listed and discussed in one place not broken into two different chapters. I suspect that if this book covered all of CSS2 it would become the reference book on CSS for most people for quite a few years to come. It is very rare that I would consider buying a computer book of this vintage but I passed over another with a somewhat later publishing date because of the quality of the writing in this book.The browser support chart only show up to IE 5, NS 4 and Opera 3. I spec as a minimum for my sites IE 5.5 and Netscape 6.2 with a strong reccomendation of using IE 6 and NS 7. I'm also starting to support Opera 7. I also would like to see the browser support info duplicated for each property as it is covered in the main portion of the book and not just in the back.

The book is fine, but the CSS2 as an addendum business is a bit outdated now (2003).
By Emmanuel Verbeeck
The best book on CSS on this planet. As usual with O'Reilly : concise, precise, complete, crystal clear. Bravo.

Excellent book. The book manages to talk about the essentials without meandering. Evary line is a value-add. A weatlth of information that you can immediately use on your website. If nothing else, read the last chapter (No. 11): CSS in Action.

This book let me hit the ground running with CSS and answered most of my burning questions and laid the clue down where I was unaware of the depth of my ignorance.I will now get my CSS stroll on, because font tags are SO 1999Thanks!
By Todd Hawley
Good job!This book's title is quite descriptive. It gives a detailed look at Style Sheets, starting with their "history," basic rules and structure, text and background colors, and other text properties among other topics. While the book specifically discusses CSS1 style sheets, it does devote a chapter to CSS2 (the upcoming standard), but freely admits the standards for it could change, depending of course on browser support (or lack thereof) for the new standards.And that's another point the book stresses, that every browser is different in what it does or doesn't support with Cascading Style Sheets. One of the book's appendixes contains a table of different style sheet elements and what each browser supports. Another appendix lists CSS resources, which is quite valuable at a time when style sheet standards appear to be ever changing.I had held off learning about Cascading Style Sheets for quite a while and thanks to this book, I now realize the power and flexibility they provide for web sites.
Page by page, feature by feature, Eric Meyer's 'Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide' puts a new face on the new face of the Web. I found this book to be useful at virtually every page: I was using CSS on my own homepage within minutes, and plan to expand that to the various websites I maintain, then to influence my officemates to join me in the quest for cascading styles. The only detracting point would be the constant use of Latin in the example text.
I have a great deal of HTML experience, but wanted a quick course in style sheets. This books wasfabulous for not only giving clear instruction on how to use them, but also in pointing out commonheadaches in browser support. This is the first computer book I've read that represented a goodmidrange level tutorial...not a primer for beginning programmers, and not a technobabble encyclopedia of code. It's a must for any busy professional who just wants the straight story anddoesn't have time to waste figuring out where the common pitfalls are. We all have jobs we need todo, not time to read tons of books! Kudos to O'Reilly for the first book I've liked from their presses!

Forbes' commentary is very shallow. PayPal does not "freeze companies" on a whim and certainly would prefer not having to do so. However, fraud is pervasive and fighting fraud is all but easy. New payment systems that pretend to "simplify" payments often backtrack when fraud hits them for real.

New hobbyist here.....with a question.
Since we installed our new packs\age of bee's, we have had trouble with the wax. The bees are builkding, foraging, and doing everything well... but the was production is not the best.
On some frames (pierco) they have build a great wax layer, but 2/3 of the way down it becomes unattached from the frames foundation. So in essence, the wax is attached to two frames instead of one. This means that to move the frames will destroy thewax, larva,and stores they built.
If anyone knows an idea that may encourage them to build directly onto the foundation, please let me know. My first Idea was to replace some Pierco, with wax foundation. Thanks for the help

Caffeinated Branding: Think Inside the Cup
Way back in 2005, in Can Caffeine Brain Boost Help Ad Recall?, I suggested that Starbucks could sell potent ads on their cups. This idea, though tongue-in-cheek in nature, was based on fMRI research that showed caffeine stimulated areas of the brain associated with memory:
Dr Florian Koppelstatter of the Medical University Innsbruck, Austria, found that caffeine affects distinct areas of the brain. This study is beleived to be the first to demonstrate a visible impact on the brain from caffeine. Subjects who had been given caffeine showed significantly more activity in the frontal lobe and the anterior cingulum – areas of the brain associated with memory and attention. Subjects who received a placebo showed no such impact.

Students Document Chicano History
Tuesday, May 3, 2011
A group of USD students, under the guidance of Professor Alberto Pulido, PhD, have volunteered to be a part of the Chicano Park-University of San Diego Documentation Project, which launched in January.
Pulido developed the project with a group of both USD and Chicano community members, including Chris Nayve, Director of Community Service Learning and Creative Collaborations . The idea was to tell the history of Chicano Park through the lives of individuals who were a part of a cultural struggle for self-determination and dignity. The group was able to develop a partnership between the Department of Ethnic Studies, the Office of Community Service Learning, Creative Collaborations and the Chicano Park Steering committee. This partnership reinforces this year's Chicano Park Celebration. The theme of the event is: "Education and Knowledge: Our Key to a Better Future."
Pulido, known to his students as "Dr. Pollo," is currently instructing Ethic Studies 343: Chicano/Latino Studies. Students in this course have been trained in oral history methodology within the Chicana and Chicano experience as well as the "power of place" in the history of ethnic communities. Utilizing these perspectives, students have been directed to recognize and document the complex identities of the Chicana and Chicano experiences as captured through the history of Chicano Park.
"I am playing a role in conserving the history of a park and of a people whose presence is an integral part of San Diego," Janette Rodriguez '13 said.
Chicano Park was established on April 22, 1970. It represents a visible and concrete marker of political awareness and mobilization in the quest for self-determination by community members. Its development was guided by the historical vision of the Chicano people in Aztlan to reclaim a "piece of land" that they could call their own. Out of this historic vision emerged a series of creative expressions that breathed life into the development and evolution of Chicana and Chicano cultural expressions that have given shape and purpose to Chicano Park. The objective of this project is to capture and tell the story of some of these community cultural expressions along with the people who brought them to life.
"This project has given me the opportunity to get to know a Chicano artist, Victor Ochoa, who has dedicated his life to raising awareness about Chicano issues, and serves as an example to the community," Eirene Rocha '13 said.
The students were each assigned a mentor from the community, with whom they have been working closely for four months. They have created a public and political biography of each of these community members' lives. The community mentors were chosen from the membership of the Chicano Park Steering Committee. They represent active agents of history who play key roles in the establishment, historical development and evolution of Chicano Park.
"The mentors we are working with from Chicano Park were, and still are, vital champions of the Chicano Movement, and I am honored and humbled to be working alongside them," Bianca Bruno '13 said.
Pulido partnered with Nayve and Cara McMahon from the Office of Community Service Learning. McMahon has been assigned to work full-time with the class and serve as a liaison between students and the Chicano Park Steering Committee, utilizing a community service learning approach to the course. The funding for this project came from the newly established Center for Inclusion and Diversity, directed by Carlton Floyd, PhD and Mayte Perez Franco, PhD.
Through the collection of oral histories, students have documented the history of Chicano Park, Chicano/a history, and five unique aspects of Chicano/a cultural expression that emerged as a result of the establishment of Chicano Park. The five cultural expressions captured by this year's project are:
- Chicano Art as seen in the public and political biography of Victor Ochoa.
- Chicano Music as seen through the life of Ramon Chunky Sanchez.
- Community Organizing as seen through the life of Tommie Camarillo.
- Danzantes (indigenous dance) as seen in the life of Rosa Olga Navarro.
- Chicano Car Culture (low riders) as lived and experienced by Rigo Reyes.
"Our mentors are telling us their stories and their involvement in Chicano Park," Guadalupe Abreo '11 said. "They want to let others know about this struggle and effort so that when they are gone they know they can trust the next generation to continue this cultural and historical tradition."
All five mentors have been active with Chicano Park since its inception and are community in the Chicano Movement—in its quest for social justice and self-determination for Chicanos in San Diego and beyond.
"I now realize that Chicano Park, in a way, is a tangible embodiment of the decades of struggle, hard work, dedication, and perseverance exemplified by members of the community," Anayensi Jacobo '11 said.

The only concern I have here with KG is that I hope he doesn't expect Brown or Wilson to be as good at pass protection as Bradshaw is. That is a ridiculously high bar to set and one that most RBs in this league can't even reach. Brown could use a little more improvement but he looks like after another game or two of experience with it, that he would be ready for a larger role in the offense.
Sounds like a coaching problem, time to earn your pay Gilbride....Fix it!
I know what everyone will say "No, but we arent the coaches we dont see these guys in practice and we dont analyze the film as much yada yada yada"
I know...I just would rather see Brown and Wilson get more touches. Kind of like how 5 years ago I was super hyped on Bradshaw and couldnt wait to see him get more touches.
Its just a natural cycle and we should start it sooner than later the way our running game has been going...
"Bradshaw played 58 of the 68 offensive snaps. Brown was in on just nine and had five carries for 14 yards.".................so much for "They are both going to get equal snaps theory"
Sometimes the Giants coaches really want to make you pull your hair out.........they had all kinds of machinations about how Cruz was not ready for prime time too..........they had to be bludgeoned and dragged to starting Cruz by relentless injuries

Video: How to choose a sound bar
Make sure you get one that fits your needs
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Sound bars are a great way to get better sound from your TV. In this short video, we'll help you sort out your sound bar options so you can find the one that's best for you.
Video Transcript
There are a wide variety of sound bars and sound platforms available these days. In this video, we'll ask four questions to help you choose the sound bar that's right for you. Where will you place the sound bar? What kind of sound do you want? Do you also want to play music from your smartphone through the sound bar? And how will you connect your sound bar to your existing TV and components?
First, where will you place the sound bar? Sound bars come in two different styles-bars and platforms. Bars can be placed in front of your TV or mounted on the wall below your TV. And there are even curved sound bar models to match the styling of curved TVs.
Platform models sit below the TV and act as a base. A couple tips from our experts: if you're planning to place the sound bar in front of your TV, make sure the sound bar doesn't block the remote signal to your TV or the TV's picture. If you're planning to wall mount your sound bar, make sure to select a model with keyhole slots on the back. We also carry specialized sound bar brackets that connect to your TV's wall mounts.
Next up, what kind of sound do you want? The stereo models are great for getting better sound from your TV, but if you're interested in coming as close as you can to big home theater sound check out the models with simulated surround. These models use more drivers and special audio processing for impactful sound from movies and games. Many models offer a wireless sub that you can tuck into a corner or other out-of-the-way places.
Another tip from our experts: even though a subwoofer is considered wireless it will still need power from the wall. If the sound bar you're considering doesn't come with a sub, some models have a subwoofer output so you can add a separate subwoofer.
Do you also want to be able to play music from your smartphone through your sound bar? Many models feature Bluetooth which lets you stream music from your phone, tablet, or compatible computer.
One last thing to consider is how you plan to connect the sound bar in your system. You can hook up a sound bar using a digital audio connection, an analog audio connection, or an HDMI port. Be sure to check the audio outputs on your TV and components as well as the sound bar's audio inputs before you buy. If you have any questions about sound bars or connecting them to your TV, give Crutchfield a call.

What are your thoughts on the Sonos playbar and Samsung 7100 series on a tabletop. Trying to figure out if the playbar will block the picture. Any experience with that combo?

In the Shadow of Texas Hill Country Cypress Trees
Roddy Tree Ranch and Guest Cottages • Hunt, TX
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a Two-Person Cottage
- Bottle of Wine On Arrival
The Destination
Far from the flat, dry prairies that are synonymous with the open spaces of Texas, Hill Country is a welcome panoramic departure in the middle of the Lone Star State. Molded by the landscape of the Balcones Escarpment on the limestone-rich Edwards Plateau, Texas Hill Country stuns with rivers outlined in greenery and rolling hills that shade dude ranches and small towns. In Hunt, located midway between San Antonio and Austin, warm days are spent lazily swimming in the shadow of Cypress trees followed by lunch from the general store enjoyed from the view of a wide-set porch.
The Digs
Stretched over 50 acres of land on the Guadalupe River, Roddy Tree Ranch and Guest House is a quaint enclave of two- to twelve-person cottages that feature full kitchens, cozy bedrooms, outdoor barbecue grills, and private porches. Although the four two-person cottages vary in size and style—Cori's Pier has a bedroom of rustic stone walls while Willow Cottage's living room has floral furnishings—all are close to the property's riverbank, covered pavilion, and sporting activities. After breakfast, spend the afternoon paddling a canoe out on the river, listening to the jukebox back on land, or competing in a volleyball game with fellow guests.
"The adults enjoyed sitting in the cool breezes on the front porch, singing karaoke, and cooking meals in the well-furnished big kitchen."-- TripAdvisor

April 13th/14th marks the second competitive tournament for the GU13 Rush Select National team. Earlier this year the team took on the best the West Coast had to offer at the PDT in Phoenix (at right) and now they find new challenges against the South East teams. For many players it is an opportunity to prove themselves worthy of a roster spot for the 2013 Surf Cup, considered the most competitive soccer tournament in the country. With Region 4 participating in State Cup this weekend, it has allowed alternate players from the ID camp, as well as players from FL and TN to showcase their skills against some very tough opposition.
The players are due to arrive Friday in time for a 10pm meeting at the team hotel. The job at hand is very simple: win the tournament, bond as a team and identify potential players for the 2013 Surf Cup roster.
"We have some very good players on the Open Cup roster," said Head Coach Russell Finch (Georgia Rush). "Many of them players that narrowly missed out on PDT and others from FL and TN that are mostly all ODP and Regional pool players. I am excited to see how they respond to this challenge, as well as an opportunity to be a part of Surf Cup. Also the players that were with us at PDT (Chloee Kooker, Emily Fontana, Morgan Kloosterman and Brianna Martinez) still probably feel the pain of losing in the quarters, and will be focused on only one thing this time around and that's an Open Cup Championship, while playing The Rush Way!"

Jesus Christ Superstar: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album
He started piano lessons in his native Berlin before the Nazi threat forced his family to move to Paris in 1938 and the U.S. the following year. Settling in Los Angeles, the wunderkind Previn began working as a jazz pianist, an arranger for MGM, and a recording artist for Sunset Records while still in high school -- and by his 18th year, his first recordings for RCA Victor had racked up substantial sales. Originally swing-oriented, Previn discovered bop in 1950 just before his induction into the Army. Upon returning to Los Angeles, Previn went into overdrive, gigging as a jazz pianist, scoring films, and playing chamber music. Forming a smooth boppish trio with Shelly Manne and Leroy Vinnegar, Previn scored a huge crossover hit with an album of jazz interpretations of My Fair Lady, which in turn led to a series of likeminded albums of Broadway scores and kicked off an industry trend.
By 1962, Previn started to make the transition away from Hollywood toward becoming a full-time classical conductor, dropping his jazz activities entirely. He stayed away from jazz for 27 years, with the exceptions of a handful of sessions with Ella Fitzgerald and classical violinist/dabbler Itzhak Perlman. Indeed, in 1984, he was quoted as saying that jazz was "an expendable art form" for him. But in March 1989, shortly before resigning from the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a dispute with management, Previn returned to jazz with a trio album for Telarc with Ray Brown and Joe Pass, showing that he had not lost an iota of his abilities. Subsequently, he returned frequently to the studio as a jazz pianist for Telarc, Angel, Deutsche Grammophon, and DRG when not freelancing as a conductor or composing classical scores. ~ Richard S.

Before the start of this fellowship, I was contemplating whether I wanted to go into medicine, research, or both. Upon talking to many mentors, I was leaning towards going into practicing medicine, but finding a way to also stay involved with research. However, although I have had a passion and interest in both for quite a while now, I wanted to experience more before I made the decision.
After the first several weeks of the fellowship under Dr. Peterson, I ...Continue Reading →

Investing In Our Communities
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) estimates that approximately $277 billion of capital spending will be needed between 2003 and 2022 to replace aging water infrastructure and comply with stricter water quality standards, and the USEPA estimates that approximately $388 billion will be needed between 2000 and 2019 to replace aging wastewater infrastructure. We intend to invest capital prudently to enable us to continue to provide essential services to our regulated water and wastewater utility customers. Investing in our infrastructure is critical to our mission of serving our customers high-quality water and wastewater services.
We have a strong, ongoing commitment to investing in infrastructure and keeping it updated. We are committed to delivering excellent services, that our customers depend upon, at an exceptional value. Tap water costs about a penny a gallon - a remarkable value compared to any other utilities today. With few exceptions, water service remains the lowest utility bill that a household will pay.

Always remember: 68th anniversary of Pearl Harbor
posted at 8:48 am on December 7, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Before there was 9/11, there was Pearl Harbor. Both attacks had their similarities. In both cases, we had a deadly enemy arrayed against us, but most Americans remained — or better put, willfully ignored — the threats both enemies posed. Only after thousands of Americans died did the US awaken to the true nature of those enemies.
Sixty-eight years ago today, the Japanese Empire attacked our naval base at Pearl Harbor without warning or a declaration of war. Within hours, their navy attacked American positions throughout the Pacific, including the Philippines, destroying our outposts and claiming the entire Pacific Ocean as their possession. With the fortunate exception of several aircraft carriers that had been on an exercise that morning, the US had almost no Pacific Fleet, and many feared an invasion of the West Coast.
It took hundreds of thousands of American lives to defeat both Japan and Nazi Germany in the war that followed — a war that had already enslaved China years before on one side of the US, and half of Europe on the other side. We thought we had learned a lesson on December 7, 1941 ,which was that we had to be prepared to fight a war in order to keep from getting surprised like that again. Of course, we shouldn't have been surprised at all by Japan's attack in the first place. They didn't suddenly become warlike and aggressive on December 6th, 1941, as the Chinese, Manchurians, and Koreans could attest. They had been attempting conquest (and succeeding) for several years in the Pacific Rim. We just preferred to keep our eyes closed in order to keep from doing anything about it. When we attempted to cut off oil to Japan, we discovered that negotiations and sanctions don't keep war-drunk, expansionist powers from increasing their expansionism.
The lesson from that war is that appeasement and complacency doesn't keep one from having to fight a war. It usually forces one to fight from an extreme disadvantage. That's a lesson we have not remembered in dealing with expansionist powers in our own time, even after a second shock like 9/11 after years of complacency in dealing with al-Qaeda. We're falling back to treating radical Islamist terrorism like a Law and Order episode, and allowing one of the main drivers of radical Islamist terror, Iran, to arm itself with nuclear weapons with no consequences whatsoever.
On what date will the next "sneak" attack occur?
