On the sites of the world's Islamic organizations, various scientific institutions and universities, space is allotted for the author's comprehensive Internet site. Some of these Internet sites are shown on the following pages.
This is a very comprehensive site prepared to present Islam. Under the section titled "Biographies" in which famous Islamic scholars are introduced, Harun Yahya's life and works are reviewed.
Some E-Mails Received at www.harunyahya.com:
It's a great job to explore the truths and astonishing aspects of Holy Qur'an and not only the non believers but even muslims need to strengthen their beliefs. I appreciate the work you are doing.
Accept my commendation for the very good job you're doing by challenging age long scientific "truths"! The first book I read from your series was "Evolution Deceit". I was in Nigeria then and I could not leave it until I almost finished the book. It was when I came here to the US that I discovered your website and have downloaded a couple of books from there. However, I will really like my colleagues back in Nigeria, especially those in the university environment, to have the opportunity of reading your books and hopefully, be positively influenced by them. Many of us studying for higher degrees see you as a role model in applying our scientific knowledge for the progress of Islam.
I'am very very interested with what you have written in so many books. I have downloaded about 30 books from the internet. May Allah bless you with the service that you have done for Islam and the Muslim and the whole mankind.
We are overwhelmly impressed with your works, and we pray that ALLAH (A.W.) continues to guide you, increase you in Iman and knowledge (amin). Your books are of utmost interest to us.
Mr. Harun Yahya's books are very important. My major field is Chinese government and politics, so I have to need time to reading his books and thinking some questions. I will collect and read them for long time.
I am a born Muslim who has lived in the U.S. most of my life. By the Guidance and Mercy of Allah, me and my brother Omair began reading on Islam and we came across your videos and your books. Although I have always been a muslim I had never read the Quran, and once again b/c of ALLAH's mercy I saw your tapes and have begun to read the Quran. This may not mean much, but I have great respect for what you are doing and if their is anything I can do to help, Please let me know....
I watched your documentary on our National Television Station on friday 24th May 2002, on Our Maolud Nabiyyi day. Please i will like to know how to get these following books/video tapes.
I have read several of your books and am amazed by the length, breadth and depth of your knowledge. This is a special privilege from Allah to you and must be cherished. May Allah reward you for all of your good works and increase you in knowledge. Ameen.
I would like express my thanks concerning the books of Mr.Harun Yahya. I think it is a great meditation about our problematic world at this time of sorrow and hope also. I deeply recommend the books of Mr. Harun Yahya.
I am Muslim Physician who is finishing my training in the US. I would like to ask the information about and how to get permission to translate the book by brother Harun Yahya into Thai languages. It is estimated that more than a millions of muslim living in Thailand. We need to have access in the book that can bring the truth of islam, Quran and Sunnah in matter of things surround us to the People.
I am very grateful for your website and books for they have given me so much knowledge and understanding. Being a muslim in England it is still very hard to find information on Islam in a language I can read. Your books help me to see everyday things in a different light. I have reconmended your website/books to all my friends. May Allah reward you for what you are doing.
Alhamdulillah you are doing an excellent job. May Allah reward you for this and may He give us strength to participate in spreading the words of Allah. We are arranging a programme for children colors of Islam summer camp. We desperately need your videos.
I have read the Book titled "The Evolution Deceit" and there is no need to describe how delighted I was by reading it. I have already distributed 10's of copies to everyone I know at work by purchasing it from the book store here in Riyadh.
I live in the USA and I want to buy some books in order to spread Islam to my family who lives in Romania. May Allah reward you, inshAllah.
As long as I've read your website, I've been glad that Islam has good scientists who can speak honestly about the truth. I'm a student at Padjadjaran University, my departement is Biology. So I like to read your books. The books give me some knowledges which I've not been known.
I am a student of Computer Sciences at International Islamic University Islamabad Pakistan. I am really pleased and felt a whole heartedly joy by exploring ur site and watching & listening to the documentaries that are based on the topics related to science and islam. I really appreciate ur efforts, ur efforts could turn the way of thinking of muslims all around the world. You have the ability to represent islam in a way that it should be presented, so that one could get inspired of Its reality, and ur efforts are a true picture of our beautiful and complete revealed Religion, that is Islam.;
I have read quite a few of Harun Yahya's books and I have learnt alot because it has given me a different understanding about this world. I am glad that i have learnt all this at such a early stage of my life and i can pass this on to other people during my life. I personally think his work is brilliant and i will carry on reading his books.
I am studying at Engineering Geophysics at Bandung Institute of Technology, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. I write this letter to You to express my unlimited happiness that at last there is a Moslem Channel for Global Islamic Science and Education, which relates between General knowledge and Islamic Teachings. I'm very impressed about it. I don't deny that probably there are a lot of websites such as Yours, but I think this is the complete and objective one.
Salam alaykoum brothers and sisters i just want to thank you for the wonderful work you done, may Allah reward you in this life and the after.
I have watched a few of your video documentaries on my computer (courtesy of my son Sameer), and am absolutely amazed. The one titled Architects in Nature is both eye- and mind-opening. Please keep up the good work.
I'm so happy that such a website like this exists. I hope many can learn from this site and clear their misconceptions of our beloved religion Islam.
Some E-Mails Received at www.islamdenouncesterrorism.com:
First of all I would like to appreciate all of your team for doing such a remarkable job for Islam. May Allah give you all the blessings and accept your act in the day of judgement. It has guided me and took me out of the self-deceited concepts. I started taking evolution and materialistic theories as a part of science which were so hard for me to refute due to my little knowledge. Allhamdulillah, now I have restablished my faith. JazakAllahukhair. I am a student in Germany of Engineering (Energy Conversion)and have come from Pakistan.
The entire work of Mr Harun Yahya is really very essential for every muslim in the present era. I came to know him just yesterday when I watch one of the programme on TV and I must say that I am now very eager to get his books.
I just discovered your site and the books you wrote. I'm very impressed and wish to thank you for the beautiful and interesting books you made. I owe a bookstore in Belgium.
I am a German Muslim, living in a small town in Northern Germany and I would like to learn more about Harun Yahya and want to read more of his books. I have converted to Islam three years ago and have already brought some German friends to embrace to Islam as well, but my knowledge in Islam is not that big as it should be.
Aloha from Hawaii! I have been involved in biology for more than thirty years and agree with your writings. Good work.
The Title of your book Allah is known through reasons caught up my eyes, while I was book shopping one day. I bought it, I loved it. I bought 4 more copies and gave them as gifts to a new Moslem convert of my friends where I work, and other non Moslems to explore that Islam through logic. May Allah bless your heart; keep you safe to serve the truth and the word of Allah subhan watallah.
Your books are so well-organised and far from personal ideas. This makes me trust you. When I read something in your book, I am sure that it is correct. I wish the continuation of your studies.
Excellent job on "Evolution Deceit", I am a Christian yet I still respect Harun Yahya's tedious work to disprove evolution.
After watching your documentaries and reading books on the internet my point of view about this world have changed abrubtly. You people are doing excelent work. I my self want to become a helper in the propagation of this noble work in all over the world. I am a pharmacist working in peshawar. If i can do any thing in this regard please let me know. So that i may also share "sawab" with you.
I've been trying to turn christians to muslim and I'm thankful to you cause your this great website has made it possible to explain them about Islam in detail. Thanks a lot to create such a great site CONGRATULAT IONS I love this site and I'm trying from today to let everyone inform about this website. Allah will bless you for this service.
I intend to purchase books of Mr. Harun Yahya. They are very informative books and are worth keeping in the library for the generations to take advantage there from.
I have 8 of all harunyahya'VCDs, they are very superb. After seeing them, I feel that my belief increased and I understood about Allah, The Creator. And now, in our campus, harunyahya's VCDs are used for human philosofic lesson. Every student must watch this VCD especially about Darwinism. And we want to collect your all VCDs and Books, especially indonesian version.
I have read a few books by Harun Yahya including 'The Evolution Deceit'. The work of the author has removed what little doubts I had about the evolution theory and opened up a new world of understanding to my mind. I wish to thank the author for this-keep up the good work. The work of Harun Yahya is one of the most commonly talked about subject around where I live.
May Allah reward you for your work brother. I am a 46 year old convert to islam from florida and i enjoy your site very much and make sure I tell about it to everyone I know .
I am a devoted reader of Harun Yahya's books, since the time I found your web site by chance I always visit it and I almost downloaded all the materials you have there. I would like to thank you from all my heart for your efforts you really do change my way of life and open my eyes to many things that I forgot about my religion Islam.
I give kudos to you for the encouragement you are given to muslims all over the world. I am thrilled after watching the well documented video cassette (Miracle in the Koran and the creation of the universe given to us by a brother in Islam it was amazing, seeing the effect it will have on the unbelievers and the believers of Islam a like consequently we had produced more copies for distribution within and environ.
My name is Jennifer Dwyer, I work as Assistant Director of QCP I, (Dawa section in Doha Qatar). I just want to say that your website is excellent and you are really able to reach out to the average non-Muslim in a way that they understand! MashAllah. This isn't always the case with other Islamic websites or lectures. May Allah reward you for your efforts!
Some E-Mails Received at www.islamdenouncesterrorism.com:
Harun Yahya he is the greatest!! Muslim scholar I have ever seen. May Allah bless you, and keep on writing your wonderful books.
Dear Haroon, I am student and I have just read ur articles. I am Muslim, but unfortunately I was not able to tell my non-Muslim friend that Islam is against terrorism, but now I have send ur pages to all of my friend around the world. u did a great job sir, and we solute u.
Brother Yahya it is very valuable to read your article following the recent events. Your knowledge of Islam is scholarly and allows people to get a true understanding of ALLAH's Deen. Your other work on scientific issues will have a huge impact on those who read and God Willing closer to their Creator. May ALLAH THE MOST MERC IFUL AND K IND give your more energy and good health to produce more authentic and sound literature for all people to read.
I would just like to say that this website speaks for a lot of innocent Muslims worldwide. It shows Islam to be a peaceful religion. May Allah bless you for the work put into this site.
I have learned a lot about Islam since Sept. 11th. I am pleased to see this website. To do my part as an American citizen I explain to others that these acts of terror and religion should not be connected. All legitimate religions preach peace and brotherhood.
Instead of concentrating on "Who committed the acts" you have concentrated "Why such things are happening".That is great!
Most people think and lives islam in definite times, during the preyars, ramadan, reading Quran...And they do not remember Quran in other circumstances. What i see in you is, you do not live islam only in definite times. But you live islam starting from the time you wake up till you sleep everyday. And that`s the right way.
Your works are notifying everyone about the reality of Islam. People would live best if they live islam. People would think their brothers and sisters before doing something, they would care their brothers and sisters more than they care themselves. You explain these in a brilliant way in your books. Regards.
I am living in Tel Aviv. We, Jewish people, do fell respect to people who have helped to our brothers in past. As it is written in your site, Ottoman Empire was land of piece for all religions because Islam advises people to be fair, peaceful, helpful, conciliative, as those are the values all religions advise. We are all in the same way believing in the same values. We all are agains atrocity to blameless people. Congratulations for your hearty studies.
It is a very interesting and spectacular website. I hope it will play a vital role in clearing any confusion or any doubt from the minds of people of the world against teachings of Islam. In this site HARUN YAHYA's articles have clearly and widely opens the doors of the reality in front of the people. This website it self fighting a "Jihad-bil-Qalam" (intellectual struggle) against terrorism.
I am pleased and take great comfort in your effort to explain to those that wish to know the true meaning of Islam. I am self taught and everything I have learned, including my reading and writing, was through the inspiration I received reading the Quran. I continue to learn and be inspired by the Quran but also by books written by Harun Yahya.
An excellent site. A real eye opener, and has reinforced my belief that all should be tolerated no matter what religion. As a buddhist I have never lost faith and repsect for my Muslim brothers and sisters but this has reinforced my love for all peoples.
This is a great job u are doing. wish u every best in this path . May ALLAH bless all of us to convey the right path of ISLAM to all the world.
Finally, an easy-access site to support what we have been telling our friends and colleagues for years - thank you !
A very enlightening site about enlighted Islam.. Nice job!
This is my first site coz its the best..many people from many countries chat with me about islam...wanting to know more or saying its a terrorism religion and i answer them goodly....but this site answers better....thanx and keep on...
Thankyou for this website. It is a good resource for informing my students of true information about the Islam Religion. It also has great answers regarding Darwinism. I have been looking for this for some time now as Darwinism is included in our curriculum and I wanted other information to show the students than mere textbooks.
After reading Harun Yahya`s extracts on Antisemitism I felt very hopeful of the future of Jewish/ Muslim relations.
The creation of this Website is the best thing that can happen to the ummah. It is a new dimension in Islamic education.
Haven't seen the site like this ever in my life... This site has every thing... Thanks to all the people esp. Haroon Yahya.. and to the people who made their efforts in designing this site, uploading, writing, collecting the data... Now this site is so great i will try to spend more time reading articles in it! And i use to refer this site to the unbelievers and y they should believe in one an only God ALLAH!
Thanks to this web site and Harun Yahya's books i continue to be inspired and show people Islam.
Nice to see a site like this. I especially liked the argument against authoritarianism.
For the sake of the name of Islam and its good people, I hope that the message that your site is intending to deliver is received by both non-Muslims as well as Muslims.
Al Hamdu Lillah! At last a knowledgeable outspoken muslim has told the truth! May Allah(SWT)reward you with the highest spiritual rewards for your most urgent work.
An excellent website Mr. Harun Yahya. I am one of your greatest fans and I visit your websites almost on the daily basis. I have also recommended your sites to many of my friends.
Some E-Mails Received at www.islamdenouncesantisemitism.com:
Truth can never be hidden and these sites would go a long way in removing the misconceptions & misrepresentations of Islam & Muslims. Not only are these important for the Non-Muslims, but more so for Muslims.
The main idea in your political studies are based on the right ground. There is Darwinism behind every kind of cruelty; racism, antisemitism, fascism, communism...
The Islamic world is desperately in need of people like Harun Yahya who can explain the true essence of Islam to both Muslims and non-Muslims.
A beautiful step towards correcting the deluge of incorrect propaganda against Islam.
As a Jew, I am so relieved to be reading this page. Thank you for showing a more rounded view - it gives me some hope.
I very sincerely love your site since it has a lot of truth and is clear, open minded without prejudices.
I truly hope that this site becomes known to as many as possible of our Jewish cousins.
I love your website and that after reading your material I am seriously thinking of converting to Islam! thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You have stated the concealed part of the truth in a brilliant way.
I read with great interest your article entitled "A Muslim Call To The Israelis" written by HARUN YAHYA. It truly warmed my heart to read that this Turkish Muslim intellectual has so much love and support to offer.
Thank you for sending me this article. If only it could go straight to the ears and hearts of those in power in the Middle East. Then we wouldn't continue reading such disheartening headlines each day.
It is indeed a thoughtful commentary and makes some good points. Thank you for sharing.
It is greatly encouraging for me as an Israeli to find out that there are Muslim intellectuals who earnestly try to form an objective opinion about the Israeli-Arab conflict and propose a way out from the terrible situation. Your sincere appeal to Israeli people deeply touched me. I appreciate your and the author's of the Call good will and humanistic and moral stand.
Many thanks! This is a very thoughtful article. I very much agree with the author's position. All best wishes to you!
I thank you for your thoughts and hope that together we sons of Abraham/ Ibrahim will find a way to resolve this political conflict and stand together serving the God that we both revere.
Thanks for the message. I read it with interest. Muslims, Jews and Christians all believe in peace and the dignity of man. It is a pity that these values are being ignored by extremists who stand in the way of a just peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
Thank you for sharing the proposal below. I admire its moderate tone, its respect for Judaism and its interest in Jewish-Muslim co-existence. These are noble aspirations shared by all Jews and particularly Israelis. I sincerely hope that the moderate spirit that inspired the words below finds a home among in the community of nations.
After reading two of Harun Yahya's books recently, I would agree that he represents the true Islamic spirit. But I hope his message reaches beyond just intellectuals in the Islamic world.
I agree with what you wrote and I am happy that there are thoughtful Muslims who think like you. In the present atmosphere of blind hatred on both sides it is wonderful to hear clever words like yours. I hope your voice will be louder than that of those who in the name of God defy the moral orders of our common God.
Thanks for writing. Now if only there were more people like this in the Middle East.
Many thanks for your email. I have posted this on my University's enet. I think it is a wonderful statement and it is important for all sides to see such a well balanced appraoch. Many Thanks.
Thank you for sending the Muslim Call to me. It is relevant and important. I am working with congressman Conyers and other members as well as representatives of different faiths to protect the Holy Sites in Jerusalem.
Thank you for the article you sent, which I read with great interest. As you know, an interfaith conference held in Alexandria several months ago was launched in very much the same spirit. Thank you for sending me this piece. I agree with the two-state solution it seeks to promote.
The letter you sent me was very thought provoking and interesting. I would love to discuss it further.
I have read your piece. What I find most impressive in it is the sentence " Is it not a duty in the eyes of God to put an end to the fighting, which is dragging both sides deeper into satanic violence?" I completely agree with that idea. Thanks for showing this essay to me.
Thank you for your thoughtful letter and sincere concern. would we get more letters like yours, to my opinion, the situation in our region was different. I hope your proposal is seriusly considered and we can start seeing some light.
Thank you very much for your comments and for the statement draft that you sent me. It is absolutely impressive and moving, and I wish that this call could find reverberations in as many hearts as possible among Israelis and Palestinians.
Thank you for sending me a copy of your eloquent call for peace and reconciliation. I hope for your success with this endeavor. Sincerely.
I wish the rest of the world could be as thoughtful and rational as this message.
Thanks so much for sharing the Muslim call for peace, which I found moving and relevant, and very important to avoid a false encounter of religions.
Thank you very much for sharing with me the article. In the main, I fully endorse the spirit of this article, and I find it encouraging that such voices are to be heard in the Muslim world.

BRONSON - Bronson Middle School and High School students had a special treat on Thursday, April 3, as professionals and people from the business world advertised their trades at the Career Fair in the gymnasium.
Kids got a chance to stroll from display to display, receiving information on the careers that interested them.
This was the third consecutive year that Bronson has had a Career Fair. There used to be one at the old school, but interest dwindled and it was abandoned.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter called the "Secretary") is authorized and directed to do whatever is necessary and proper to equalize as nearly as possible the values of all allotments of land on the Agua Caliente (Palm Springs) Reservation in California in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
Any member of the Agua Caliente Band (hereinafter called the "band") who is living on the date of the enactment of this Act and who has not received an allotment of land shall be given an allotment in accordance with the provisions of law existing prior to this Act. No further allotments of land shall thereafter be made to any other or future born members of the band, or to their heirs or devisees, except for the purpose of equalization. This prohibition against further allotments shall not be construed as a closing of the band's membership rolls.
(a) The Secretary shall determine on the basis of the contract appraisals that were made in 1957 and 1958 (1) the value of all unallotted tribal land, and (2) the value of the allotment of each allottee who is living on the date of this Act, excluding the value of any improvements thereon. Where lands of a living allottee have been sold under the supervision of the Secretary, their values for the purpose of equalization shall be the amount received from such sale, excluding the value assigned to any improvements thereon. Where lands of a living allottee have been fee patented to and sold by the allottee, their value for the purpose of equalization shall be the appraised value of the lands, excluding improvements, as of the time of the sale, regardless of the amount received from the sale. The allotments of allottees who are not living on the date of this Act shall be excluded from the equalization program. All values so determined by the Secretary shall be final and conclusive for the purposes of this Act.
(b) In no event shall the following tribal lands be subject to allotment, and they shall henceforth be set apart and designated as tribal reserves for the benefit and use of the band:
Cemetery numbered 1, block 235, section 14, township 4 south, range 4 east.
Cemetery numbered 2, as now constituted pursuant to secretarial order, comprising approximately two acres.
Roman Catholic Church, as now constituted pursuant to secretarial order, comprising approximately two acres.
Mineral Springs, lots 3a, 4a, 13, and 14, section 14, township 4 south, range 4 east: Provided, That no distribution to member of the band of the net rents, profits, and other revenues derived from that portion of these lands which is designated as "parcel B" in the supplement dated September 8, 1958, to the lease by and between the Agua Caliente Band of Mission Indians and Palm Springs Spa dated January 21, 1958, or of the net income derived from the investment of such net rents, profits, and other revenues or from the sale of said lands or of assets purchased with the net rents, profits, and other revenues aforesaid or with the net income from the investment thereof shall be made except to those enrolled members who are entitled to an equalization allotment or to a cash payment in satisfaction thereof under this Act or, in the case of such a member who died after the enactment of this Act, to those entitled to participate in his estate, and any such distribution shall be per capita to living enrolled members and per stirpes to participants in the estate of a deceased member.
San Andreas Canyon, west half southeast quarter, southeast quarter southeast quarter section 3, township 5 south, range 4 east.
Palm Canyon, south half and south half north half section 14,
Page 894
township 5 south, range 4 east; all section 24, township 5 south, range 4 east.
Tahquitz Canyon, southwest quarter section 22, township 4 south, range 4 east; north half section 28, township 4 south, range 4 east.
Murray Canyon, east half section 10, township 5 south, range 4 east.
(c) On the basis of such values, the Secretary shall determine the highest level of equalization that is feasible for the members of the band who are living at the time of this Act by allotting all of the unallotted tribal land, except the reserved areas listed in subsection (b) of this section, without regard to acreage limitations heretofore imposed by law. Such unallotted tribal land shall then be allotted to those members who have received allotments with a value that is less than the equalization figure deemed feasible in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Secretary. No selection of an allotment pursuant to such procedures shall create a vested right in the land until all selections authorized by this Act have been made, included in one schedule, and approved by the Secretary. Allotments thereafter made shall be subject to the same laws and regulations that apply to other trust allotments on the Agua Caliente Reservation.
(d) The unallotted portions of section 18, township 4 south, range 5 east, and section 12, township 4 south, range 4 east, that are in the municipal airport for the city of Palm Springs shall be subject to allotment as a part of the equalization program, subject to the following qualifications: If within thirty days after the date of this Act a majority of the adult members of the band who are eligible to vote agree, the Secretary may offer to sell such land to the city for its appraised value on the date of this Act, and the Secretary shall cause an independent appraisal thereof to be made by an appraiser he shall select who shall be approved jointly by the band and the city before proceeding with such appraisal, the costs for the appraisal to be shared by the band and the city; thereafter the Secretary shall review the completed appraisal and shall, if approved, then submit copies to both the band and the city for their approval which shall be either accepted or rejected in writing within thirty days; and if within three hundred and sixty-five days after joint acceptance of such appraisal by the band and the city, the city accepts the offer and tenders payment in full, the Secretary shall complete the sale, and any allottees who may have made or who may thereafter make an equalization selection from the lands sold to the city shall receive in lieu of the allotment selected his proportionate share of the proceeds of the sale.
The Secretary shall request the appointment of a guardian of the estate of all minor allottees and for those adult allottees who in his judgment are in need of assistance in handling their affairs in accordance with applicable State laws before making any equalization allotment or payment to such persons.
(a) The right to an equalization allotment or to a cash payment in lieu thereof pursuant to section 3, subsection (d), of this Act, shall be transferable by will or descent in the same manner as are trust payments under existing law and shall not be subject to State or Federal inheritance, estate, legacy, or succession taxes.
(b) A cash payment made in lieu of an equalization allotment pursuant to section 3, subsection (d), of this Act shall not be regarded as income or capital gain for purposes of Federal or State income taxation and shall not, as long as it remains in the form of cash or a bank deposit in the ownership of the allottee, be subject to taxation as personal property.
(a) Equalization allotments made pursuant to this Act shall not be subject to assignment, sale, or hypothecation or to any attachment or levy for claims or debts created before or after the effective date of this Act, without the written approval of the Secretary, and
Page 895
any such assignment, sale, hypothecation, attachment, or levy that has not been so approved by the Secretary shall be absolutely null and void.
(b) No equalization allotment made pursuant to this Act, and no basic allotment made prior to this Act, shall be subject to an equitable charging lien or other charge or lien or enforced sale for any advantage or benefit which the allottee has received or will receive under or as a consequence of enactment of this Act, nor shall any lis pendens heretofore or hereafter filed upon such lands while in a restricted status be of any effect or constitute notice of any action. Whoever directly or indirectly accepts or receives any money or other form of compensation for legal services in connection with such restricted lands from any person who has not expressly employed him as his attorney shall be liable, in a civil action brought by the payor or his heirs or devisees or by the United States on his behalf, for twice the amount so accepted or received unless, prior to the time of acceptance or receipt of said compensation, the right to such compensation has been determined and the amount thereof fixed by a formal order of the Federal court having jurisdiction to make such order. Nothing herein provided shall be construed to prevent any attorney from petitioning the Federal court having jurisdiction to fix and determine the fees to which he is entitled and to pursue and enforce payment thereof in any lawful manner after the court has made such order.
Allotments in accordance with the provisions of this Act shall be deemed complete and full equalization of allotments on the Agua Caliente Reservation.
The band may, at any time it wishes to do so, organize a legal entity under the laws of the State of California and request the Secretary to transfer to such legal entity title to the lands in the reserves established by subsection 3(b) of this Act. The Secretary shall transfer an unrestricted title to such property if the organization of the legal entity and request for the transfer have been approved by a majority of the adult members of the band who are eligible to vote, and if in the judgment of the Secretary the legal entity is organized in a form and manner that is fair to all members of the band: Provided, however, That if the lands to which the proviso to the fourth item in subsection 3(b) of this Act is applicable are transferred to such an entity, they shall be held by it subject to the terms provided in said proviso, and the rights and duties therein set forth shall be preserved and reflected in any distribution of securities of, or other evidences of participation in, said entity.
Approved, September 21, 1959.

Chinese New Year is right around the corner (officially begins on Sunday, February 10th) and what better way to celebrate than by making some beautiful homemade Chinese Lanterns? Lanterns are a popular symbol throughout the Chinese New Year celebration; the end of which is marked by the famous Lantern Festival. Plus, with varying traditions marking this exciting holiday, there are many opportunities to teach your child about new cultures, traditions, and cuisine!
I recently introduced my daughter to the Chinese New Year and we've done several activities to prepare for the event on February 10th. These watercolor Chinese lanterns have been our favorite so far. Here's how they are made:
First, paint the paper (using watercolors) in the color of your choice, then allow the painting to dry completely. Hold the paper horizontally and cut a strip off of the end – this will be the lanterns handle. Fold the piece of paper in half lengthwise and make cuts on the fold (stop about an inch and a half from the edge) about 3/4 of inch apart.
Next, unfold the paper and bring the long edges together to form a tube. Tape the edges together to form the lantern. Tape the strip you cut off earlier to the top of the lantern to form the handle.
Hang your beautiful lanterns around the house with yarn or hang them on a tree for beautiful Chinese New Year decorations.

Hurricane Kyle deluged the island with record rainfall before it even showed up. Patillas received nearly an inch of rain per hour for 24 hours. The mudslides closed schools and highways and killed one. Entire crop fields were lost to floodwater—$23 million worth. The storm caused another $25 million in damage to buildings and homes, prompting President George W. Bush to declare the state a disaster area.

peron relates, with a disgust which does him honor, that he saw a brutal sailor thus slowly and brutally butcher a female Seal.
peron had not originally been a member of the staff of the expedition.
But the spot was soon found, and sure enough there was the stone or peron, and he could examine it in the sunshine at his leisure.
peron and Lamarck are in error in their belief that the "poulp" having no fins cannot swim.
Lamarck describes this shell from a specimen found by peron.
But it should be said in justice to Baudin that there is no reason to associate him with the espionage of peron.
According to peron, the animals of this coral are furnished with green-fringed tentacula.
peron when at the Mauritius observed that flashes of pale light escaped from the mercury, and filled the whole tube.
Mougé died from diseases occasioned by the climate of Timor, and the hardships of the voyage (See peron's work).
If he had known he would have referred to it here; and if he did not know of one, peron certainly did not.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, today sent a letter to Alaska Regional Director for the National Park Service, Sue Masica, raising concerns regarding newly proposed hunting regulations for the Denali National Preserve, Wrangell-St. Elias National Preserve, and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve.
"The federal government's attempts to interfere with the state's right to manage wildlife within its borders is deeply troubling. The substance of the Park Service's proposed changes is alarming," Murkowski said.
Murkowski, echoing the state of Alaska's interpretation, feels the proposed hunting regulations violate the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), which grants the state, not the Park Service, the ability to manage its own fish and wildlife populations, including regulating harvests.
The new regulations include prohibitions on the taking of brown bears with the aid of bait stations, and shortening the hunting season for wolves and coyotes. The proposed regulations are an attempt by the National Park Service to preempt the state's authority when it comes to hunting in the three preserves.
"I am unconvinced the Service has the right to be imposing their will on the state's hunting regulations at all," Murkowski said. "Alaskans absolutely need to have a fair and realistic opportunity to be heard."
The letter is attached.

In 2005, director Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia) gave an edgy new twist to the Batman franchise with his gritty, realistic Batman Begins. His latest Batman film, The Dark Knight, evokes a similarly gloomy and introspective tone. Starring Christian Bale as the impenetrable Batman, the film also features Heath Ledger as The Joker in a fearlessly sinister performance that redefines the role and has already sparked talk of a posthumous Academy Award.

One of the toughest things about covering visual effects can be getting great VFX imagery to display with a story. There's often a lengthy approvals process, and sometimes film and TV distributors just want to keep certain things under wraps. That can make it hard to produce interesting stories; in visual effects, behind the scenes images and videos tell so much of the process.

I started using DaVinci Resolve in 2005. It was a $300,000 system, the hardware rack was the size of a doorway and it took a Resolve engineer two days to install. In 2006 I met with Mike Seymour and John Montgomery, who said they were thinking of opening an online university. They asked me if I would like to be their professor of color. I didn't really have any ideas of the specifics, but being keen to try different things I jumped at the chance.

RESOLUTIONS Thursday, December 30, 2010
Every year January 1st rolls around, leaving people making vows of sticking to a healthier lifestyle. The problem is life gets busy, and for many falling off a routine is the start of a domino effect. This year try setting more attainable mini-goals, ones you can do in stages that have an overall healthier impact.
Pure water is key to any healthy diet. It helps keep you alert, aids in proper digestion and body function, and is fat-free and calorie-free. Here are some simple ways to add more ounces to your daily routine.
A Good Start— You crave the caffeine jolt in the morning. While your coffee is brewing, use that time to fill up with a glass of ice-cold water. It'll be refreshing, help wake you a bit and let you start the day ahead of the game.
On the Go— If you haven't started toting a reusable thermos, now is the time. Not only will you save money, you'll be able to quench your thirst at a moment's notice and help the environment with less plastic bottles.
Skip flavored waters which are often loaded with unwanted sugars like sucralose. Instead, add slices of lemon, oranges or apples to your glass of water for a more natural, calorie-free way to help get your daily fill.
THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL Wednesday, December 15, 2010
This week while millions of people around the world wake to open presents with their families another story will play out. More than 800 million people will wake to face an ongoing crisis—no access to clean water. This year make one of the gifts you give a lasting one, and donate to help ensure someone else's loved one lives to see a healthier New Year.
Started by actor Matt Damon, this organization issues WaterCredit micro-loans that empower individuals and communities in developing countries to take control of their water needs. Once the money has been repaid, it goes back into a revolving account and is used to issue more loans to people in need. Get involved at Water.org.
World Water Relief
This organization focuses on building sustainable water purification systems in developing countries and also helps with disaster relief situations. For more information, visit their website.
American Red Cross
For years this relief agency has helped people around the globe. General donations go towards helping provide all types of relief, including food, shelter and basic daily needs. Contributions can also be earmarked for specific needs, such as emergency water containers. A mere $30 can help provide safe drinking water for six families.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN Tuesday, November 30, 2010
The holidays add a whole other dimension to traveling. Roads and airports are more crowded than usual, making delays and long waits often unavoidable. Nutrition is usually an after thought, but adding it to the top of your "what to pack" list will result in a fresher, healthier feeling you when you arrive at your destination.
If traveling by car, be sure to fill reusable thermoses with water. Staying well-hydrated is a great pick me-up, and won't leave you with a post-caffeine crash. Stash a few in the freezer for long trips and they serve a dual purpose—they act as ice packs for perishable foods too. Dried fruits and nuts are perfect portable snacks. When hitting the road with kids, try to schedule rest stops during mealtimes, and avoid sugary snacks or sweets if you're hoping to get a nap going once they're back in the car.
When taking to the skies, remember those reusable bottles won't make it through security if filled. That doesn't mean you should leave them home. Pack empty ones in your carry-on, and once through security, save money and seek out large bottles of water to refill your thermos. Heat-proof travel mugs also mean you can enjoy your favorite tea once in flight, so pack a few in your purse and you'll be ready to get a jumpstart on the rest and relaxation portion of your journey.
THE PERFECT SETTING Monday, November 15, 2010
Chances are you've spent countless hours planning the perfect holiday menu. The turkey was ordered weeks ago. You carefully selected wines to serve with each course. But, don't forget the one thing every guest looks to drink: water.
Start with a pretty pitcher, or if you're theme is more casual, old milk bottles add a nice touch to the table. You can even spruce up your water with slices of lemon, orange or limes. Frozen berries add a flair and help keep the water cold too. Let ice cubes act as an accessory and add some mint leaves to them before freezing. With such refreshing options to choose from, white or red won't be the only tough beverage choices at your holiday table.
WATER, AN INALIENABLE RIGHT? Saturday, October 30, 2010
Health and hygiene is a focus of many physical education programs in public schools across the country. While teachers do their best to educate the next generation about better eating habits, many schools sadly fall short in supplying one of the most essential needs for a healthy diet: water. Sending a home-packed lunch with a refillable water bottle is one easy answer for elementary school kids, but brown-bagging it isn't as cool with tweens and teens.
Senator Mark Leno is trying to change things in his home state of California. Last month he introduced a bill requiring schools to have access to free drinking water in cafeterias, so kids have an alternative to the sugary drinks sold in schools. With funding always an issue, many schools depend on vending machine sales to raise meet those budget gaps. State officials are now combing through contracts to make sure they can legally offer free water without violating their current agreements.
A HEALTHIER YOU Friday, October 15, 2010
Along with shorter days and colder nights, comes cold and flu season. While germs are unavoidable, there are some things you can do to protect yourself from catching and spreading them.
First defense— hand washing. Stop the spread of germs before they start by washing your hands before preparing food, after using the restroom, and when you notice they are dirty. This is especially important for young children who tend to put them in their mouth. And remember there are two sides to every story, so work up a soapy lather on the tops and palms. Lastly, don't use a tissue to catch coughs and sneezes.
Drink plenty of fluids. Water is always the best choice, as it helps "flush" your system and keep you hydrated. Avoid sugary or caffeinated beverages which tend to deplete your body of water, and may interrupt your sleep cycle.
Proper rest. Try tucking in early when you feel the onset of a cold to give your body time to heal itself. Make sure you have a glass of water at your nightstand for middle of the night dry throat and add an extra pillow to elevate your head if you're congested.
THE VERY BEST BABY FOOD Thursday, September 30, 2010
Making homemade baby food is pretty easy, especially for stage one and two foods that are baby's introduction into the world of solids. Steaming or baking, and mashing a sweet potato requires little labor. First foods need to be extremely tender, though, in order to create a smooth puree. When time isn't on your side, the stovetop is a quicker alternative. This method requires water, so better to use only the purest source available. Unlike making pasta, you don't need to fill a pot— 1/4 cup does the trick to ensure tender fruits and veggies. This recipe for our pure pear puree is a good starting point to introduce baby to all the fall harvest has to offer.
BABY STEPS: INTRODUCING WATER Wednesday, September 15, 2010
Summertime reminds us all that drinking water is important for proper hydration. After all, it's easy to monitor just how much our body is losing as we wipe the sweat from our forehead. But what about baby? Is she getting all the water she needs to stay well-hydrated?
In general, the answer is yes for babies six months and under, provided they are getting the proper amount of breast milk or formula according to their body weight. Breast milk is composed of nearly 90% water, the other 10% being a combination of vital nutrients. Formula fed babies should consume 2 to 2 ½ ounces per pound per day, according to Dr. Sears.
The other important element to remember about proper hydration is that it isn't only about water. Your body is filled with electrolytes, which enable other cells to function properly. Sweating, aggressive activities and vomiting not only release water from your body, it creates an electrolyte imbalance, hence that sluggish feeling.
Babies' bodies are smaller than adults, though, so this means their nutrition and hydration needs are also different. Many pediatricians recommend avoiding giving water to babies under six months for fear of throwing that electrolyte balance out of order, a condition called "water intoxication".
As baby gets older, water can become a healthy part of her diet as long as it does not fill her up too much. A good rule of thumb is to offer milk at meals to quench her thirst, and water in between.

A BERRY GOOD IDEA Monday, August 30, 2010
Berries and peaches abound during the summer, but sometimes the bounty you bring home doesn't live up to your tastebuds' expectations. All it takes is a quick steep with a sweetener, sugar or honey, and water to elevate them to an easy, elegant dessert topped with crème fraiche or frozen yogurt. Always start out with just a small amount of sugar or honey to ensure you don't end up with a cloyingly sweet mixture—you can always add more and taste as you go. The goal here is to help coax out extra flavor and the fruit's natural sweetness, while balancing out any tartness. Just a splash of cold, filtered water helps create a thin syrup to drizzle on top, and any extra can be stored in a container in the refrigerator or mixed with sparkling water for a homemade flavored seltzer.
TEA TIME IN THE SUMMER TIME Sunday, August 15, 2010
There's something soothing about sipping a hot cup of tea— unless you're facing near 100ºF temperatures during a hot, city summer. When the mercury starts to rise, it's time to rethink your morning routine. In fact, it means starting your tea the night before. Forget waiting for a boiling cup to cool off, or risk a watered down drink with too much ice. The answer is easily found in a method touted mainly for coffee drinkers: cold-brewed.
Using a glass measuring cup or pitcher, add one teabag per four ounces of cold water. Double it, triple it, use flavored teas—you name it. Let the mixture steep for 8 to 10 hours, and when you wake up, just pour over some ice and you're ready to greet the day. And if you wake up to a suddenly cool break from the heat and humidity, no worries. This is double strength, so just add an equal amount of hot water instead of ice cubes.
INSTANT BREAKFAST Friday, July 30, 2010
Sure you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what about those times when you're lucky enough to make it out the door with matching socks? A quick, nutritious answer is at your fingertips with instant oatmeal. When time isn't on your side, pull out a packet for a filling and energizing meal. The hot water dispenser on the CleanWater Countertop Filtration System eliminates the need to boil water, making it even easier to fit in a few minutes to fuel up before a busy workday.
Wondering how the instant stuff stacks up compared to quick or regular-cooking oats? Nutritionally speaking, they're pretty much the same. Read those labels before choosing flavored varieties, though, which can be high in sugars or additives. Better to stick with a plain one and boost the flavor with all-natural add-ins like fresh chopped fruit, berries, milk or a dash of cinnamon.[CNN]
COOL AS A CUCUMBER… AND THEN SOME Thursday, July 15, 2010
Need a cure for that midday slump? Try swapping caffeine for water during your afternoon coffee break. Come the summer months, it's especially important to stay well-hydrated since you need to compensate for what your body sweats out. The headache that hits post-lunch may not be a caffeine call after all.
We know sipping cup after cup of plain water gets old quick, and that's when we break out some frozen cucumber slices, Not only do they help keep your water nice and cool—they have a soothing, refreshing effect. Cucumbers not your thing? Don't let that stop you from getting your fill. Citrus slices—take your pick from lemon, lime and even orange, may help get you to that finish line too, so you can be alert and ready for all the fun that lies ahead come 5:00pm.
WATER WORLD Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Summer signals pool parties and breaking out icy beverages, but before you get the party started put Mother Earth first and use these tips to help conserve water use year-round.
Plants & Gardens
Watering in the wee hours of the morning is best for both the health of your plants and efficient water usage. Since those early hours are cooler, there is less loss from rapid evaporation. This also allows the water to soak into the soil's surface, and better penetrate the roots.
Alternative Water Sources
Put the water used to fill those kiddie pools to good use after a day of play. Have the kids fill their pails and let them pour the water around the roots of your plants and veggies. Not only are you recycling it, the kids are also helping out with chores while having fun at the same time.
Rain barrels are a great way to recycle rainwater. Simply place them underneath your gutters and you'll have a natural source to nourish your plants, as well as save money on your water bill.
No More Leaks
Bad valves and pinholes add up to big bucks and a lot of wasted water. Replace faulty valves if that's the source of your leak, and if the hose itself is the culprit, check out these repair tips from Garden Guides before running to the hardware store for a new one. If all else fails, put that leaky hose to good use and refashion it into a soaker hose to tend to the lawn—a more efficient way to keep grass healthy and beautiful.

COFFEE BREAK Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Tired of watered down coffee drinks? Join the club. This summer save those big bucks you'd normally spend on iced coffee and grab a cup to go from home. The secret to ensure a sip of unadulterated pleasure is to make your own coffee ice cubes. It's a perfect way to use up any leftover coffee at the end of the day, and this way you know quality is assured from start to finish. All you need to do is start with the best drinking water available and brew a pot of coffee. For an extra tasty money-saving idea, give these coffee-house inspired drinks a try. Before you know it, you'll have enough dough saved to plan next year's summer vacation.
Coffee Frappe
Serves 2
Whether you're trying to beat the heat or craving a dessert drink, this recipe will save you time waiting in line at the local coffee chain. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, and for a more mellow drink, substitute plain ice cubes for the coffee ones.
½ cup triple-strength coffee
¼ cup milk
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, depending on taste
1 ½ cups coffee ice cubes
Add all ingredients to your Cuisinart blender bowl. Blend well, until frothy and ice is crushed into very fine bits, about 90 seconds. Serve immediately.
Mocha Frappe
Serves 2
½ cup triple-strength coffee
¼ cup milk
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, depending on taste
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
1 ½ cups coffee ice cubes
Add all ingredients to your Cuisinart blender bowl. Blend well, until frothy and ice is crushed into very fine bits, about 90 seconds. Serve immediately.
A COOL TREAT Friday, May 28, 2010
Lemonade is the quintessential summer refresher. An icy glass is the perfect way to quench your thirst. After the first few sips, though, it becomes all watered down. Guzzling down the glass is one strategy, but that'll just leave you feeling bloated. A much better remedy is to make fun, fruit-filled ice cubes. Use whatever berries are in season, like blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, and add a few to each ice cube compartment before filling it with water. You can also cut up bigger ones, like strawberries, into smaller bits before adding to the tray. Then drop a few fruity cubes into your glass and soon you'll be sipping your way to a tasty treat at the end of your drink.
Summer Citrusade
Makes 8 cups
2 cups freshly squeezed mix of orange, lemon and lime juice
6 cups cold filtered water
simple syrup, to taste
- Prepare the freshly squeezed juice using the citrus juicer attachment on your Cuisinart Stand Mixer.
- Combine juice and water in a large pitcher. Add simple syrup, to taste, and stir well. Chill until ready to serve.
Simple Syrup
This recipe is as easy as it sounds—just equal parts water and sugar, so you can make or less if you remember your fractions from elementary school.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
Combine ingredients in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Cook on HIGH for 4 minutes*, or until sugar is completely dissolved. Stir, then let cool completely before using. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to two months.

AN ALL-NATURAL SODA POP Monday, May 17, 2010
Countertop seltzer makers are quite popular these days, and that's good news for a family budget and the environment. You can get your fizzy-fix for practically pennies and use refillable bottles. The downside are all the sugary syrups sold to make your own soda pop. We've got a better idea for a healthier sparkling pick-me-up: all-natural sodas made with homemade fruit purees.
It's a fast, easy and a delicious way to add some extra fresh fruit to your diet. Simply add cut up chunks of your favorite in-season fruits to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. You can pour fresh pureed strawberries and raspberries through a fine sieve to strain the seeds, but, don't stop at just berries. Imagine watermelon and peach-flavored drinks made in your very own kitchen. For a sweeter sip, add some simple syrup, as much or little as you like, for a quick homemade soda, with an ingredient list you can feel good about.
THE DAYS AFTER EARTH DAY Friday, April 30, 2010
Official Earth Day celebrations may be over, but preserving the planet is a year-round job. It's easy to make small changes that benefit the greater good on a daily basis.
Every little piece of paper counts, so don't forget to toss tags from new clothing and paper gift and shopping bags into the recycling bin. Even the cardboard roll from toilet paper and paper towels is recyclable. Bonus points for removing the paper label from tin cans too!
No need to light an empty room, so get in the habit of flicking the switch off as you exit a room. It's also never too early to teach the kids this cost-saving lesson. Your budget and the earth will thank you.
Leaving the water running while you brush your teeth wastes more than one gallon of water, so fill a cup for rinsing and turn the tap off. Same goes for hand washing. Wet your hands to get started, then shut the water off while you work up a sudsy lather. Rinse and repeat to save about 1 liter of water with each wash.
Everyone loves a cold glass of water. Rather than run the faucet to get it nice and icy, save our natural resource and enjoy a clean, pure cup from your Cuisinart CleanWater Countertop Filtration System. And to quench those on-the-go thirsts, skip the plastic bottle and fill up a reusable BPA-free bottle.
A NATURAL BODY BOOSTER Thursday, April 15, 2010
Ever notice how drinking a glass of cold water can suddenly perk you up? Fatigue, headaches, and muscle weakness can all be early signs of mild dehydration. In fact, extreme thirst is usually the last sign of severe dehydration. Your body uses water to regulate its temperature, lubricate joints, deliver nutrients and oxygen to cells and protect organs and tissues. And that's just the short list of how it keeps a healthy body operating.
Average adults can lose up to 10 cups of water a day through normal body functions such as sweating, breathing and going to the bathroom. Dehydration occurs when your body's water and salt content is thrown out of balance. While it is possible to get your daily water requirement through every day foods such as milk, juice, fruits and vegetables, drinking water is the best choice because it contains zero calories and sugar.
A good rule of thumb to stay well-hydrated all day long is to drink a glass of water with each meal and between meals. Always be sure to maintain your fluid intake before, during and after any exercise regime. And remember caffeine and alcoholic beverages deplete your body's water supply, so limit how much you consume them.
While you can generally treat mild dehydration by simply increasing your fluid intake, signs of severe dehydration require medical treatment immediately.

FOOD REVOLUTION REVOLUTION Tuesday, March 30, 2010
Within minutes of the premiere episode of Jaime Oliver's new series Food Revolution we saw many causes for concern with the country's school lunch program. The one that perhaps struck a deep nerve was watching one kid digging into a bowl of sugary cereal drowning in a bowl of chocolate milk. Breakfast, considered the most important meal of the day by many nutritionists, is supposed to fuel our children for a day of learning. I imagine that kid's attention span is shot before they even get from the cafeteria to the classroom.
Many parents argue their kids will not drink milk or they want variety, so why not offer nature's natural alternative: water? Sadly, many cafeterias are not equipped with ample drinkable water sources. In a school serving 700 kids, there may be in some cases only be 2 water fountains for them to share. Public fountains also pose a germ concern, especially with young children who may still be prone to touching the mouthpiece with their tongue or lips. The best way to make sure your kids get a healthy drink to wash down their meal is to send them off with a reusable BPA-free bottle of clean, filtered water from home.
THE SECRET TO GREAT TASTING RICE Monday, March 15, 2010
Rice. It sounds pretty easy to make reading the package directions. After all, it's just rice, water and a pinch of salt, right? Well, that all depends on what kind of water you use. Even if you're local water supply is safe for drinking from the tap, chances are it still has additives in it that can affect the actual taste. Take New York City, for example. It's often touted as some of the cleanest and safest drinking water—and it is according to the Department of Environmental Protection.
If you live here, though, you've undoubtedly noticed times when the water has a chlorinated aroma and flavor. That's because the water supply is treated with chlorine to protect against contaminants. The Cuisinart CleanWater System filters out 97.5% of chlorine, leaving you with a fresher tasting product. When it comes to dishes that really absorb the flavor of their cooking liquid, like rice, it also means you get the best tasting quality to serve your family.Sources: [Columbia] [NYC]
COFFEE HOUSE QUALITY AT HOME Sunday, February 28, 2010
Wouldn't it be great to enjoy your favorite coffee-house drinks at a portion of the price? Well, it's easier than you think and you can elevate them by using the best quality ingredients. Let's talk lattes—I mean tea lattes. They're the new rage and quite easy to make at home, especially when fresh filtered hot water is ready to use at the press of a button from the CleanWater Countertop Filtration System. Start out by brewing a cup of earl grey tea. Steam some milk using your Cuisinart espresso maker or using a hand held frother. Add to your brewed tea and you're ready to start sipping. And on days when you really want to treat yourself, add a teaspoon of homemade chocolate ganache for an exotic hot chocolate that doesn't require a plane ride or stop at the ATM.
A BETTER BEVERAGE Monday, February 15, 2010
Childhood nutrition is a hot topic these days, with more and more parents looking for ways to teach their kids healthier eating habits. Well, what they drink is just as important. Sugary drinks and sodas are a source of empty calories, and in some cases contribute to dehydration. Don't be fooled by 100% fruit juices either. It's better for kids to get their daily servings from a fresh bite of fruit.
Get kids started early with good drinking habits and keep water readily available to encourage making a better beverage choice. Convenient countertop dispensers like the CleanWater System make it easy enough for older ones to quench their thirst at the press of a button. Save money on juice boxes and pack a reusable bottle with water in their lunchboxes, and don't forget to keep an extra bottle handy for after school activities to keep them well-hydrated all day long. And remember, the best way to teach is to lead by example, so raise a glass together and say cheers to a happy and healthy family.
THE DAILY DRINK Saturday, January 30, 2010
Remember mom saying to drink your eight cups a day? Well, we don't want to say we told you so, but she was on to something. It may seem common sense that the human body loses water through sweating, but did you know even the simple act of breathing depletes our bodies of this very necessary resource? That's why it's important to replenish yourself with water throughout the day, not just at certain times.
The amount of water you need to drink to maintain a healthy body depends on the individual. Considerations like age, how active your lifestyle is, and your overall general health are the real determining factors. Breastfeeding mothers take note, it's especially important to pay attention to your daily intake—for both proper milk production and your own well-being. Now, go fill up that reusable BPA-free bottle to keep yourself refreshed from the inside out.[Mayo Clinic]
RESOLUTIONS Friday, January 15, 2010
Many people use the New Year as a time to start doing things differently. For some, that means taking on a healthier lifestyle and adding more glasses of H20 to their diet. The great thing about that resolution is it can also have a big impact on the environment. Last summer, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report on the side effects of consuming bottled water. In addition to safety concerns on the actual water sources, purification methods and possible leaching of chemicals from the plastic bottles, the GAO determined that 75% of those bottles ended up in landfills rather than recycling bins.
This year change you can believe is easier than you think. Start by filling up a reusable BPA-free bottle before leaving the house to benefit your body and the planet.[Source: GAO]
THE GIFT OF WATER Tuesday, December 8, 2009
A few years back, I took a different approach while holiday shopping for my family. I decided to make donations on their behalf to help those less fortunate. I had trees planted in honor of my aunt who is now disabled and hasn't been able to garden in some years. For another aunt whose worn glasses most of her life, I donated an amount to cover the cost of an eye exam for a woman in Guatemala. My mom was the tough one to find the right fit and then, as I flipped through the gift catalog it hit me. My mom is my source of life, so it seemed fitting to make a donation that would cover the cost of a simple, yet vital gift: clean drinking water jugs.
I come back to that gift often. While it's not as dire as the need in developing countries, I'm struck by how many places in our own country do not have safe drinking water. When I visit North Truro in Cape Cod every year, we are surrounded by the ocean and bay, yet the water from the kitchen faucet in our rental house is not suitable for drinking. My aunt down in Florida faces the same problem in her house, so this year I'm thinking the gift of clean, safe drinking water may need to be answered closer to home.
STOCK INVESTMENTS Friday, November 20, 2009
Soup season has arrived here in the North East (and our Midwest friends were probably putting up a pot in September when they had their first snowfall). It's easy to add this comforting course to your weeknight menu by making stock in advance and storing in your freezer. Come dinnertime, just defrost it in the microwave, and you're ready to saute and simmer some vegetables or leftover chicken. Paired with a salad, it's a healthy, quick and easy way to balance all those holiday treats you'll be eating from now until the New Year. I'm sure you've heard chefs say never cook with any wine you wouldn't drink. Well, the same goes for water, so use only the best and purest when putting up your next pot.Easy Everyday Vegetable Stock
Feel free to add whatever vegetable scraps you have around too, including mushroom stems, corn cobs, etc., adding more water if necessary.
makes about 4 cups
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 ribs celery, sliced
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 medium onion, cut into quarters
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 dried bay leaf
8 to 10 whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon salt
6 cup cold water
- Heat a deep stock pot over medium flame. Add oil, then toss in celery, carrots, onion, garlic and other vegetables you're using. Saute for 5 to 7 minutes, until the carrots begin to caramelize and the mixture becomes very fragrant.
- Add the bay leaf, peppercorns and salt. Stir to mix well, then slowly pour in the water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until vegetables are extremely tender (read: they've released all their flavor). Pour through a metal sieve or strainer, discarding cooked vegetables (I always hate this step, and always intend to puree them to thicken sauces and soups, but...). You're ready to use for soup, as a consomme, or store in the refrigerator (up to one week) or the freezer (up to two months).
adapted from Jenny Linford's From My Mother's Kitchen
For stock:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 pounds chicken legs & thighs
1 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 leek, bottom white part only
a few sprigs of flat-leaf parsley
1 dried bay leaf
For soup:
1 medium onion, chopped
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 celery stalks sliced 1-inch thick
3 ounces fine eggs noodles or spaghetti, broken into pieces
¼ cup fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot. Season chicken with salt and pepper and brown in small batches, being careful not to overcrowd pan. When done, return chicken back to pot. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Pour in 6 cups of cold water, add leek, parsley and bay leaf and simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for one hour.
- Skim fat from surface of stock. Using tongs or a large slotted spoon, remove chicken from the pot and set aside. Pour stock through a fine strainer, and discard vegetables and herbs. Let chicken cool, then remove meat from bones and roughly chop; set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining oil over medium-low heat in stockpot. Add onion, carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes, then pour stock over vegetables. Bring to a boil, then add noodles and cook until desired tenderness, about 8 minutes for al dente. Add chopped chicken, stir in chopped parsley and cook until chicken is heated through. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add vodka, lime juice and simple syrup. Stir vigorously until beads of sweat form on the outside of shaker. Strain into prepared glass. Serve immediately.
- Add sugar to a small plate. Make two twists from orange rind, by cutting strips with a paring knife or vegetable peeler (try not to get any of the bitter white pith). Cut a wedge from remaining orange and wipe it around the rim of each glass. Dip rims in sugar and add one piece of rind to each glass.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add brandy, triple sec and lemon juice. Stir vigorously until beads of sweat form on the outside of shaker. Strain into prepared glass. Serve immediately.
- Prepare the freshly squeezed juice using the citrus juicer attachment on your Cuisinart Stand Mixer.
- Combine juice and water in a large pitcher. Add simple syrup, to taste, and stir well. Chill until ready to serve.
THE SECRET TO GREAT TASTING ICE Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Sure summer is the season for lounging with friends and frothy margaritas, but fall is one of my favorite cocktail times. Starting with Halloween, it seems to be a revolving door of parties, and what better reason to expand your mixology know-how?
The best drinks, whether non-alcoholic or spiked, start with clean, pure water. Aside from the taste minerals and metals impart in water, they also create a cloudy cube. For clean tasting, clear ice cubes you just need to remember two things: use hot, filtered water. Why hot water? In tech talk, it's all about molecules and freezing time. Basically, you want to slow down the freezing process, so using hot water ensures a delayed cooling time. Luckily, there's no need to start boiling water since the Cuisinart CleanWater Countertop Filtration System delivers filtered, hot water, right to your ice cube trays, with just a press of a button. Clean, fresh tasting ice helps bring out the full taste of your favorite drinks.
Need some cocktail ideas? Check out the recipes for our classic gimlets and sidecars.Vodka Gimlets
Makes two 3-ounce drinks
The classic version of this drink uses gin and Rose's Lime Juice. Sometimes change is good—I certainly think so in this case.
2 ounces vodka
2 ounces fresh squeezed lime juice
2 ounces simple syrup
Makes two 3-ounce drinks
Modern twists on this drink use whiskey instead of brandy. On Mad Men Sunday nights though, I'm sticking with this classic recipe.
2 ounces brandy
2 ounces triple sec
2 ounces fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 orange
Two cocktail or martini glasses
Superfine sugar, to rim glasses
SOURCE OF LIFE Thursday, October 8, 2009
We all know how important water is, but how often do we stop to take a moment and really think about it. Well, I did just that recently. There's a fun and informative Test Your Water IQ quiz on this site. I gave it a go, figuring I'd blow it out of the ballpark. Well, guess who scored 56%? It just proves that for as much as we know there's always more to learn. So if you think you know the answer to whether a tomato or pineapple has more water, or how many gallons of water are really used in a 5 minute shower(a lot is all I'll say), try the quiz for yourself.
See conservation and appreciation of this natural resource goes beyond packing a reusable bottle, although that's a great and noteworthy start. Start thinking about your relationship with water and how you consume it. Whether it's for drinking, cooking or washing, it is a reminder that water is a vital part of our everyday life. Being Italian, I cook a lot of pasta and was quite curious if it's possible to use less water than the norm for cooking it. Harold McGee wrote an article on this very question earlier this year for the New York Times. Most people only raise a glass with wine to say cheers—next time I'll do it with pure, clean water and be thankful to have access to it every day.
A MATTER OF TASTE Thursday, August 20, 2009
Water. It's a simple, nourishing beverage that we use everyday for drinking on its own. Years ago, my husband had a furniture-size water tank. I quickly ruled it out after we had children for fear of constantly mopping up spills—those buttons are way too tempting for little fingers. The problem is regular filtered water pitchers had to jockey for space in the very full fridge of a professional cook. The CleanWater Countertop Filtration system solved my dilemma. It ensures clean, fresh tasting water and freed up much needed space in the refrigerator.
I've also learned the type of water I use in recipes really does affect the final product. For boiling large pots of water to make pasta or mashed potatoes the stuff from the faucet is fine here in NYC. When it comes to making fresh lemonade and ice cubes—it's a different story. Filtered water provides a cleaner flavor, and makes nice, clear ice cubes that won't alter the taste of my cocktails and drinks as they melt. Oh, and there's no need to chill water-based drinks before serving—the countertop system has a cold water dispenser. Since summer drink season is getting into full swing, here's a recipe for something every well-stocked bar needs: simple syrup. Use it to sweeten lemonades, iced tea or coffee and even make your own lime sour mix for margaritas.Simple Syrup
As easy as it sounds, this recipe is just equal parts water and sugar, so you can make or less if you remember your fractions from elementary school.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
Combine ingredients in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Cook on HIGH for 4 minutes*, or until sugar is completely dissolved. Stir, then let cool completely before using. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to two months.
*based on a 1000-watt microwave
Summer Citrusade
Makes 8 cups
2 cups freshly squeezed mix of orange, lemon and lime juice
6 cups cold filtered water
simple syrup, to taste

RE: George Fox-William Penn
Hi, Bjorn: I just returned from Quaker Meeting, so it was perfect to find your beautiful photos of George Fox's gravestone on his site. Thank you for adding them and directing me to them. I hope to visit Friend George's grave one day. I would also be grateful if you would correct the misinformation about the way that William Penn secured the land for Pennsylvania. The land was given to Penn as payment for a debt that King Charles II owed to Penn's late father, Admiral Sir William Penn, who had helped finance one of the King's wars. I find it a wonderful irony that Penn's "peaceable kingdom" was obtained through a debt repaid for financing war. Warm regards, Janice (aka Tigress)

George Fox-William Penn
Dear Bjorn: Thank you for posting a profile of George Fox on Find-A-Grave. As a Quaker, I am pleased to see our founder memorialized. A point of clarification: William Penn did not buy the territory of Pennsylvania from King Charles. The King owed Penn's late father Admiral Penn a great deal of money for helping the Crown to finance a war, so he gave the land to William Penn as payment for that debt.

I'm faced with 2 different options and I can't seem to find what would be best to run backtrack off of. There's notebooks and there's really dumbed-down notebooks. Regardless of desktops, what are your guys experiences with netbooks? Do they have enough computing power to run the software that backtrack offers? The weight of a laptop wouldn't bother me, I'm just trying to figure out..How much power do I really need? e.g.: using hydra/medusa (processing wordlists/brute force), aircrack-ng, compiling code...anything processor intensive.
I like the idea of a netbook, just afraid it's not all it's cracked up to be other then what they advertise it for.. web surfing.
