A Cancer Killer in Your Kitchen

The powerful healing effects of ginger have been well documented. It's a proven remedy for upset stomach. Reams of studies show that it inhibits inflamation. And there is substantial evidence that it fights cancer, too.

For instance, a recent University of Michigan study showed that when ginger was added to ovarian cancer cells in the laboratory, it caused the cancer cells to self-destruct (a process known as 'apoptosis').

In a separate study at the University of Minnesota, researchers injected colon cancer cells into mice that were bred to have no immune system. Half of these mice were routinely fed gingerol, the main active component in ginger. The researchers found that the mice that were fed gingerol lived longer, their tumors were smaller, and the cancer did not spread as widely as in the control group.

With all these health benefits, you should be using ginger as often as you can. The best way I've found to get a healthy serving of ginger is to juice it. Two or three days a week, I juice an apple or two, some carrots, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, and a big piece of ginger root. The ginger gives the drink a great flavor and a powerful anti-cancer kick. I highly recommend that you try it.

In October 2001, we went back to Da Bu (my late father's birthplace) in Guangdong Province, China. After travelling for long hour from Xiamen, we arrived our aunty's house quite late in the night and we were feeling cold. Luckily for us, the boiled ginger drink had been prepared for us to warm up our body temperature upon our arrival.

In fact, I do boil smashed ginger with brown sugar or gula Melaka whenever I feel my stomach is bloated with "wind". I have also tried to replace the brown sugar with honey. Sometime I also add in pumpkin slices and taste good.

One day in March 2008 as we decided to travel to Aceh at night, we decided to stop at a place near Bastagi for "bandrek", a traditional beverage boiled with ginger (jahe in Bahasa Indonesia) and other ingredients such as cinammon, cloves, lemon grass, chillies and palm sugar, to warm ourselves during the cold night. This was the first time I tasted it and I started to search for it in Medan. It seems that "bandrek" with or without milk can reduce fatigue, reduce "wind" in the stomach, decrease joint pain from arthritis, prevent and cure rhumatism and control poor dietary habits. It also has a healing effect on sore throat.

I come to understand that ginger drink in Phillipines is known as "salabat".

In Malaysia, we used to enjoy drinking ginger tea or teh halia tarik in mamak stalls.

Do go for ginger drink and make it your favourite drink now knowing that it has a powerful anti-cancer kick!

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's amino's or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intes tina l tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic build up.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiving and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

This is an excellent article on cancer. Please pass it on to your loved one and friends.

Change our lifestyles and eating habits.

MM Lee says rethinking of global financial system needed

Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said when the current financial crisis is over; there will be a rethinking of the international financial system.

In the next 10 to 30 years, the Indian and Chinese currencies may also have to be figured into the equation.

Mr. Lee was speaking on Friday at a dialogue session that was part of the Global Indian Diaspora Conference held in Singapore.

He said: "You will have to factor in over the next 10, 20
years; India will be playing a bigger role. The Rupee will become an important world currency as the Indian community grows so will the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi.

"All these will have to be factored into the global financial system. I see that this has to be an inevitable trend - as the economy of the world, the central gravity, shifts from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

"It may take 10, 20, 30 years. Definitely by 20 years, 30 years, China will equal the US in total GDP. India will be bigger than any European country."

We shall know by then, sir?

For the moment, just tighten our belts.

One thing keeps puzzling us: Why is that when Wall Street tumbled, USD went up!

Under weakly alkaline condition, cancerous cells are not able to grow, or even to survive.
Dalam kondisi darah dengan pH basah, sel kanker tak bisa bertumbuh, atau pun berkembang.

These are real cases which are very important. Please read patiently and pass this on. Even if you had read it, you should read it again, especially the list of acidic and alkaline food stuff. It’s best to read it several times and remember them. Please read this article in full patience. It helps to improve and maintain your health.
實案例，很重要，請耐心看完，請轉寄哦! 即使看過了還是要再看，尤其下面的酸鹼性食物最好多看幾次，就可以記住了。 請耐心看完這篇文章，對自身健康很有幫助。
Ada beberapa kasus yang terjadi dan sangat penting. Mohon baca dengan sabar dan sampaikan kasus tersebut kepada orang lain. Jika Anda sudah membaca, ulangi baca kembali, terutama menu berkaitan dengan makanan yang ber pH asam dan ber pH basah. Bacalah beberapa kali supaya bisa mengingat menu makanan tersebut. Sekali lagi mohon baca dengan penuh sabar. Ini sangat bermanfaat untuk kesehatan Anda sendiri dan juga keluarga.

About 30 years ago, a Mr. Zhang who worked in the Public Sales Department of a Taipei Brewery, sat for Overseas Study Selection Examination, and passed with flying colours. Before leaving, unfortunately, the medical examination at a public hospital discovered that he had a tumour growth in his lung about the size of a child's fist. Thus, he was not able to make the overseas trip for further study.
三十多年前有一位服務於公賣局台北啤酒廠的張先生，參加該啤酒場選派技術人員到 國外深造的考試，以優異的成績及格。在出國前經某公立醫院體檢發現，罹患有像小孩拳頭大小的肺部腫瘤，因而不能出國。
30 tahun yang lalu, Pak Zhang berkerja di Departemen Penjualan Umum, PT Taipei Brewery. Beliau telah mengikuti Ujian Seleksi untuk melanjutkan sekolah di luar negeri, dan beliau lulus dengan nilai tertinggi. Kasihan, sebelum beliau berangkat dilakukan pemeriksaan kesehatannya di rumah sakit umum dan ditemukan tumor ganas di dalam paru-parunya, sebesar kepalan tangan seorang anak. Dengan demikian, harapan melanjutkan pelajarannya di luar negeri pupus.

Mr. Zhang was very disappointed. He had the feeling that the diagnosis could be wrong. So he went for a 2nd check-up in another hospital but the result confirmed that there was no error in the previous diagnosis. The young Mr. Zhang was in great despair after the confirmation. He made several calls to Mr. Wei, his old classmate who was the Mayor’s secretary of Huangsun County, Taidong County Government.
Pak Zhang merasa sangat kecewa. Dia menduga bahwa hasil pemeriksaan itu mungkin bisa salah. Jadi dia lalu pergi ke rumah sakit lain untuk memeriksakan kembali tetapi hasil pemeriksaan kali ini pun positif juga. Maka Pak Zhang, yang masih muda, putus harapan setelah dikonfirmasi bahwa dia benar-benar terkena penyakit kanker paru-paru. Dia pun menelpon beberapa kali kepada Pak Wei, teman sekelasnya, yang bertugas sebagai sekretaris Walikota Daerah Huangsun, Pemerintah Wilayah Taidong.

On hearing the sad news, Mr. Wei rushed to Taipei to see Mr. Zhang on Sunday. Mr. Zhang briefed Mr. Wei in detail about his despair and pessimism, and entrusted his friend regarding his affairs after his death. It happened that Mr. Wei was a good friend of Dr Lu Geling, who in 1949-55 was in charge of the Maijie Hospital, and was a researcher and specialist in cancer.
Setelah mendengar berita sedih dari Pak Zhang, kemudian Pak Wei pun langsung berangkat ke Taipei pada hari minggu menemuinya. Pak Zhang, dengan putus harapan dan sangat pessimis, memberitahukan Pak Wei hal penyakit yang buruk itu dengan panjang lebar, dan meminta temannya membantu mengurus hal-hal pribadinya jika dia meninggal dunia. Pak Wei lalu teringat teman baiknya, Dr. Lu, yang memimpin Rumah Sakit Maijie pada tahun 1949-55. Beliau adalah seorang peneliti dan spesialis penyakit kanker.

He suggested to Mr. Zhang to seek Dr Lu’s treatment immediately. Mr. Zhang initially refused to consult doctor anymore as the result might add further misery to him. But Mr. Wei said that he had called Dr Lu and made an appointment with him. So Mr. Zhang felt obligated and went with Mr. Wei to meet Dr Lu.
Dia minta Pak Zhang menjumpai Dr. Lu untuk perobatan dengan segera. Pada awalnya Pak Zhang tidak mau berkonsultasi dengan doctor lagi karena hasil pemeriksaan baru akan menambah kesengsaraan untuknya. Tetapi kata Pak Wei sudah buat janji dengan Dr. Lu. Jadi Pak Zhang pun merasa wajib menemui Dr. Lu didampingi Pak Wei.

When meeting Mr. Zhang, Dr Lu said: " Mr. Wei is my best friend and he has introduced you to me. We are fated to know each other. Let me ask you do you know why is that cancer is referred to as terminal illness?” Both Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wei did not know how to answer.
Waktu bertemu, Dr. Lu berkata,”Pak Wei adalah teman baik saya. Boleh dikatakan perkenalan ini merupakan satu pertemuan yang sangat baik. Saya mau bertanya kenapa penyakit kanker adalah yang mematikan?” Pak Zhang dan Pak Wei tidak bisa menjawab.

Dr Lu explained: " There are only 2 approaches so far to treat cancer today. The 1st is to destroy the source of the disease. The 2nd is to increase the immunity to fight the disease. But the strange thing is that, whether we use Cobalt 60 or other drugs to destroy the cancerous cells, before they are killed, the good cells are destroyed first. On the other hand, no matter what nutrients or supplements we use, before the good cells have a chance to absorb them, the cancer cells have taken them up. This simply speeds up the growth of cancer. Therefore, both approaches are doomed to fail, that is why cancer is terminal."
Dr. Lu menjelaskan,” Sampai saat ini cumah ada 2 cara digunakan untuk mengobati penyakit kanker. Yang pertama harus menghilangkan bibit penyakit kanker. Yang kedua meningkatkan kekebalan tubuh terhadap penyakit kanker. Nah, walaupun Cobalt 60 atau obat-obatan lain digunakan, yang mengherankan sekali, sel kanker belum bisa dimatikan, tetapi yang telah dimatikan adalah sel yang sehat. Juga apa pun bahan gizi atau suplemen yang dimakan, sel kanker dengan cepat mengabsorsi gizi atau suplemen tersebut sebelum sel sehat mengabsorsinya. Ini mengakibatkan sel kanker berkembang cepat dalam tubuh. Dengan demikian, boleh dikatakan kedua cara pengobatan ini akan gagal dan menyebabkan kematian.”

Dr Lu continues: "Human beings are the most intelligent creatures and they had successfully put men on the moon. But why there is no one ever questioned the above 2 approaches for cancer treatment which lead to ultimate death, and try to look for a 3rd approach? When I was conducting clinical research in Majie Hospital, I had many opportunities to work with many colleagues who had assisted me in the hospital. I found out that the blood tests of cancer patients showed 100% acidic results.
Dr. Lu meneruskan,”Manusia adalah makhluk yang paling cerdas dan telah sukses mengantar angkasawan ke bulan. Kenapa tidak ada seorang pun yang bertanya kedua cara pengobatan penyakit kanker tersebut yang gagal dan menyebabkan kematian dan tidak mengusahakan dengan cara pengobatan yang ke3? Waktu saya buat penelitian klinis di Rumah Sakit Majie, ada banyak kesempatan untuk saya berkerja sama dengan kolega yang sering membantu saya. Pendapat saya dari hasil pemeriksaan tersebut bahwa darah pasien kanker menujukkan 100% pHnya asam.

Those Buddhist monks and nuns who are long term vegetarians and live very close to Nature, their blood are prevalently weakly alkaline and none of them has yet been detected of any cancer illness. Therefore, I can boldly concluded that under weakly alkaline condition, cancerous cells are not able to grow, or even to survive.
Ternyata rahib dan nun budda yang tinggal dilingkungan alam dan hanya makan sayur selama hidupnya, darah mereka rata-rata dalam kondisi darah ber pH basah yang rendah dan tidak ada satu pun diantara mereka dideteksi penyakit kanker. Dengan demikian, saya berani berpendapat dalam kondisi darah ber pH basah yang rendah, sel kanker tidak akan bertumbuh atau pun berkembang.

Mr. Zhang, I would suggest that starting from now you must reduce your intake of the acidic meaty dishes. Consume more alkaline food. Also you can take green algae and soup made from water chestnuts with skin. Modify your physical condition, and try seriously to have a regular life style which is close to Nature. If you live for another 5 years, you should have no further problem. Best of luck.”
Pak Zhang, saya sarankan bahwa mulai sekarang kamu mengurangi makanan daging dan mengkonsumsi makanan sayur-sayuran. Kamu bisa makan ganggang hijau dan sup kenari. Mengubah kondisi tubuh dan mencoba serius cara hidup didalam lingkungan alam. Jika kamu akan hidup dalam 5 tahun ini, kamu sudah aman. Kamu akan bernasib baik.”

Mr. Zhang followed Dr Lu's suggestion and was serious in changing his eating habits. Every day, he ate green algae, drank chestnut soup, became optimistic and did an appropriate amount of exercise. One year later, he went back to the same public hospital for a check up. It was found that the tumour not only did not increase in size, but was also skrinking. It’s a miracle to the hospital staff who examined him. Five years later, the tumour had shrunk to almost disappearing stage. Now after almost 40 years, Mr. Zhang's health is totally normal, and is living a very pleasant life.
Pak Zhang mengikuti nasehat Dr. Lu dengan serius untuk merubah kebiasaan pola makan. Setiap hari dia makan ganggang hijau, minum sup kenari dan membuat dia optimis melakukan olahraga yang cukup. Satu tahun kemudian, dia melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatannya di rumah sakit yang sama. Dari hasil pemeriksaan menunjukkan bahwa tumor kanker tidak bertambah besar tetapi semakin mengecil. Ini adalah satu keajaiban untuk staff rumah sakit yang memeriksa dia. Lima tahun kemudian, tumor kanker hampir hilang seluruhnya. Sekarang sudah hampir 40 tahun, kesehatan Pak Zhang benar-benar sudah normal dan kehidupannya sangat menyenangkan.

After Mr. Zhang’s case, a Mr. Chen Tianshou, who was previously Head of the General Administration of the Taidong Provincial Hospital, was also diagnosed with lung cancer. When Mr. Wei knew about it, he told Mr. Chen what Mr. Zhang had gone through. Mr. Chen started to follow Dr Lu’s recommendation of changing his physical condition. Just like the case of Mr. Zhang, he was able to recover fully from the cancer.
Setelah kasus Pak Zhang, Pak Chen Tianshou, seorang mantan Kapala Admintrasi Umum di Rumah Sakit Provinsi Taidong, juga didiagnosa terkena penyakit kanker paru-paru. Saat diketahui Pak Wei, dia menceritakan kepada Pak Chen apa yang terjadi kepada Pak Zhang. Pak Chen pun mengikuti rekomendasi Dr. Lu untuk merubah pola makan sama seperti yang dilakukan oleh Pak Zhang. Dan akhirnya, Pak Chen pun sembuh dari penyakit kanker.

At that time, Dr. Lu and his family had migrated to the United States. When he returned to Taiwan and met up with Mr. Wei, he was told of the 2 cases of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen. Mr. Wei suggested that let both of them make detailed briefings in person, so that Dr. Lu could publish a report on this self-curing method.
Pada saat itu, Dr. Lu dan keluarganya sudah migrasi ke Amerika. Waktu dia pulang ke Taiwan dan bertemu Pak Wei, diberitahkan kabar kesembuhan Pak Zhang dan Pak Chen. Pak Wei mengusulkan kepada Dr. Lu supaya Pak Zhang dan Pak Chen melapor sendiri tentang kesembuhannya. Diharap Dr. Lu bisa menerbitkan satu pelaporan mengenai metode penyembuhan penyakit kanker dengan merubah pola makan.

Dr Lu very humbly replied: 'I am too old and I do not have any clinical records of the cases. Please tell your friends and relatives, if they agree, please continue and spread the words to others”
Dengan rendah hati, Dr. Lu menjawab,” Saya sudah usia tua dan tidak ada catatan klinis dua kasus ini. Beritahukan aja kepada teman-teman dan pamili, dan jika mereka setuju, mereka dapat menyampaikan juga kepada orang lain."

One should take care of oneself and also should be caring about others. 85% of cancer patients are having acidic condition in their physical bodies.
Siapa pun harus menjaga sendiri kesehatannya dan juga mau peduli dengan kesehatan orang lain. Sebanyak 85% pasien penyakit kanker, darahnya menunjukkan ber pH asam yang tinggi didalam tubuhnya.

Blood of healthy persons is weakly alkaline in nature, with a pH of about 7.35 to 7.45.
Darah orang sehat dinyatakan dangan ber pH basah yang rendah, yiaitu pHnya 7.35 – 7.45.

Babies' blood is also weakly alkaline.
Darah bayi juga begitu, dalam kondisi ber pH basah yang rendah.

As adults age, their bloods become more acidic in nature.
Dengan bertambahnya usia, maka orang dewasa darahnya menjadi lebih ber pH asam tinggi secara alami.

According to a study of body fluid of 600 cancer patients, 85% of the patients are in acidic physical condition. Therefore, how to maintain the weakly alkaline nature of our body is the 1st step from keeping oneself from illness.
Menurut penelitian yang dilakukan terhadap sample darah 600 orang pasien penyakit kanker , sebanyak 85% diantara mereka menunjukkan ber pH asam yang tinggi. Bagaimana menjaga darah yang ber pH basah rendah adalah langkah yang pertama untuk menghindari penyakit kanker.

Acidic physical condition manifests itself in following ways:
Kondisi darah ber pH asam mengambarkan hal-hal berikut:

1. Skin without luster.
1. Kulit tidak bersinar.

2. Athlete's foot.
2. Penyakit kaki karena kutu air.

3. Feeling tired even after a little exercise, and feeling sleepy the moment one gets into a bus.
3. Cepat merasa lelah setelah olahraga ringan dan mengantuk setelah naik bis.

4. Easily out of breathe after going up and down the stairs.
4. Setelah naik turun tangga terengah-engah.

5. Fat and with lower stomach protruding,
5. Gemuk dengan perut buncit.

6. Move slowly and movement lethargic.
6. Lamban bergerak dan lesu.

Why does the body physical condition turn acidic?
Mengapa kondisi darah dalam tubuh bisa berubah menjadi ber pH asam?

1. Excessive intake of dairy acidic food.
1. Terlalu banyak meminum susu dan memakan mentega dan keju.

a) Meats, dairy products, eggs, beef, ham, etc are acidic food
a) Daging, makanan seperti susu, mentega, keju, telur, daging sapi, daging babi asin, dll adalah makanan yang ber pH asam.

b) Taking too much acidic food will cause the blood to become acidic and viscous, difficult to flow to the end of blood vessels, leading to cold feet or knee, stiff shoulders and insomnia.
b) Terlalu banyak makanan ber pH asam akan menyebabkan pH darah asam dan kental, sehingga peredaran darah tidak lancar ke ujung pembuluh darah , mengakibatkan kaki/lutut dingin, bahu berat dan susah tidur.

c) For those who are young and strong, it’s alright to consume suitable quantity of meats, but for older people, vegetables or small fishes are the more suitable diet.
c) Untuk orang-orang muda boleh mengkomsumsi daging dengan porsi yang wajar tetapi untuk orang-orang tua, agar mengkomsumsi sayur-sayuran dan ikan dengan porsi kecil.

2. Any irregularity in the pace of life will cause the body physical condition to become acidic.
2. Kehidupan tidak teratur menyebabkan kondisi pisik tubuh dengan darah ber pH Asam.

a) Irregular pace in life will lead to mental and physical stress
a) Kehidupan tidak teratur menyebabkan tekanan terhadap pisik dan mental.

b) According to statistics, people who sleep late are more likely to have cancer than normal persons, by as much as 5 times.
b) Menurut statistik, orang yang terlambat tidur kemungkinannya mengalami penyakit kanker 5 kali lebih besar dibanding dengan orang yang tidur tepat waktu.

c) Human beings originally lead a life with regular tempo in this world. It’s not possible to store up sleep or food and not possible to live a healthy life by mixing up days and nights.
c) Manusia pada dasarnya adalah hidup secara teratur di dunia ini. Tidak boleh mengakumulasi tidur dalam waktu yang lama dan memakan makanan dalam jumlah yang banyak dan tidak mungkin hidup menantang ritme alam.

d) Human organs are controlled by the autonomic nerves. During day time it is mainly sympathetic nerves activities, and at night it is mainly the parasympathetic nerves which are functioning. If this order is disturbed and reversed, then will encounter all sorts of sicklnesses.
c) Organ-organ dalam tubuh manusia dikontrol oleh syaraf autonomi. Pada siang hari adalah aktivitas utama dari syaraf simpatik dan pada waktu malam hanya syaraf para-simpatik yang berfungsi. Jika aturan ini terganggu dan diputarbalikkan, maka akan menghadapi semua jenis penyakit.

3. Over tensed becoming emotional.
3. Tensi naik mengakibatkan emosi.

a) Social stresses in view of civilized society.
a) Tekanan sosial.

b) Job related or mental stresses.
b) Tekanan mental atau yang berkaitan dengan pekerjaan.

c) For a person suffering mental stress, a temporary release of stress may lead to death. This is known as the syndrome of imperfect adrenal cortex function.
c) Untuk orang yang menderita tekanan mental, kemungkinan bisa mengakibatkan kematian. Ini adalah sindrom fungsi korteks adrenalin tidak sempurna.

4. Physical Stress.
4. Tekanan pisik.

a) Before any operation it would be necessary to check whether the renal cortex does function normally. If the adrenal cortex is lacking, or if the stress imposed by the operation exceeded the ability of adrenal cortex to cope, it could lead to death or other adverse impacts.
a) Sebelum operasi, perlu memeriksa apakah korteks ginjal berfungsi secara normal. Jika korteks adrenalin bocor atau tekanan yang diakibatkan oleh operasi melebihi kemampuan korteks adrenalin maka akan mengakibatkan kematian atau dampak yang berlawanan.

b) If the patient's face is puffy, it would be necessary to ask for the detailed patient's medical history and medication status. For patients taking adrenal cortical hormone, extra care should be exercised when acupuncture treatment is given.
b) Jika muka pasien gembung, perlu menanyakan secara rinci kepada pasien riwayat penyakitnya dan status pengobatannya. Untuk pasien yang dalam pengobatan hormon korteks adrenalin, perawatan ekstra perlu diperhatikan ketika menjalani perawatan akupungtur.

c) Avoid stress due to physical labour or excessive exercise, or playing card games and driving through out the night etc.
c) Menghidari tekanan oleh karena terlalu capek bekerja atau berolahraga, atau pun bermain judi dan menyetir sepanjang malam, dll.

I Hope You Sing - You've Got A Friend

These few days as I travelled from Jl. Kartini (where I stay in Medan) to Tembung (where I work) in the early mornings and back from office after working hours in late afternoons, the familiar song “You’ve Got A friend” was on the air every now and then as my driver tuned on the car radio. Suddenly it seems that the Medanese (listeners of English songs) are fanatical and passionate of this beautiful song originally sung by Carole King.

This reminded me the 1st time I heard of this song was when I'd enrolled myself into Wye College, University of London, in Kent County, England in the Fall Semester of 1971/1972. There were only 6 of us, all foreign students, attending the M.Sc. course in Applied Plant Sciences. Beside me from Malaysia, there were one from Thailand, one from Egypt, one from Nigeria and two from Ethiopia. I was staying in the “Old Flying Horse” hostel. There were another three Malaysian students but doing different courses. Coincidently, there were three other Thai students too. Since we were of small number, we got quite close together and became friends. But the one most close to me was Richard Yip from Hong Kong. He was on OGS’s scholarship (OGS: On Government Service) whereas I was on MAPA’s scholarship. (MAPA: Mama & Papa).

Once Richard Yip got acquainted with me, as I could speak Cantonese dialect, we started to cook and share our foods for dinners. It was quite convenient for us since he had brought along a rice cooker and he could afford to travel to London more often than me during weekends. Thus, he did the buying of most food stuff and ingredients from the grocery shops in Chinatown. I did more cooking than him and he used to wash the plates and bowls after meals. But he was only in Wye College for a semester. Soon he returned to Hong Kong to resume his duty as Senior Agriculture Officer.

True enough for us that we had come a long way to a foreign country to further our studies and we wanted more friends to keep us company and care after each other. We spent about a year in Wye College, and then we were parted and returned to our home countries after completed our courses and obtained our degrees. Even though our time of togetherness was short, but I had treasured the friendship we had in Wye College. These friends had indeed added sweet memories and richness to my life.

Coming back to Carole King’s “You’ve Got A Friend”, I liked it because the lyrics were so meaningful and touching. A true friend will never hesitate to tell you, “I’ll be there for you.” Now will you be there when your friend is down with troubles and needs a helping hand?

I wish to share the lyrics with you and I hope you sing along:

When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

If the sky above you
should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
and soon I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there,
yes I will. You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

I Hope You Sing - Poetry In Motion

I and Vun Thien Ngan became buddies after we got acquainted in National Overseas Chinese University, Luzhou, Taipei, in 1966. We were there doing our pre-university course. He came from Sabah, a Hakka-speaking province in East Malaysia. Since I am also a Hakka, we mixed well as we spoke the same dialect. Later, I was enrolled into National Taiwan University and he got into 師範大學（Shi Fan University）

Nevertheless, we used to get together every now and then and hang out during weekends. Somehow we had the common interests in swimming and dancing. Getting our bodies to move in motion was one part of our college life. I joined the NTU’s swimming club as a member and the pool was just a walking distance from my dormitory. We also made frequent trips to other public swimming pools in Taipei during the summer holidays. That’s where we could meet up beautiful girls from other colleges and universities.

We loved dancing so much that we even enrolled ourselves in a dancing school to learn Cha Cha, Rumba, Jive, Quickstep and Tango. We found that if we knew how to dance Waltz and Foxtrot only, then some smart guys would come and invite our dancing partners when the music changed to Cha Cha, Rumba, Jive, Quickstep or Tango. We felt miserable and frustrated sitting there watching our beautiful partners dancing with "strangers in the night". Once we mastered the skill of these dances, then it’s our turn for "changing partners".

I don’t know about Thien Ngan who has settled down in Sydney, Australia for years, but I have stopped dancing for quite some time. I and my wife danced only once a year when we attended the New Year Eve Party. As for swimming, I am still able to swim Breaststroke for 20 laps whenever I get into the pool. I like it because my whole body is in motion when I swim.

I also like to sing the oldies whenever I have the chance to go karaoke or attending a wedding dinner in Segamat. My childhood friend, Tan Jing Ming, sounded to me that one day we must gather again and sing the old songs we used to listen in my late father’s shop, Bakauwali Tailor, in Kuala Lipis.

Here are Johnny Tillotson’s lyrics of Poetry In Motion. I hope you sing along:

When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry in motion

Poetry in motion
Walkin' by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide

Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement
And there's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion
Dancing close to me
A flower of devotion
A swaying gracefully

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Poetry in motion
See her gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way

I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement
She's much too nice to rearrange

Poetry in motion
All that I adore
No number-nine love potion
Could make me love her more

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I Hope You Sing - I Want To Hold Your Hand

My 3rd cousin brother bought me my 1st Beatles LP record when I visited him in Muar, Johor. That was during the year-end school holidays in 1963. I was so excited when I brought it back to Kuala Lipis. After checking around, I found that there were no Beatles records on sales in this small town, a former capital of Pahang. I started playing the Beatles songs to my friends in my father’s shop (Bakauwali Tailor) almost every afternoon after school.

The gramophone (record player) was belonged to my 2nd cousin brother who worked as a tailor for my late father. My 1st cousin brother was also a tailor in the shop. There were altogether about 8 tailors employed by my father and he was the main cutter. Most of them were Hakka speaking and none of them was English speaking. Nevertheless, they enjoyed listening to the English songs blasted aloud from the loud speakers when I started playing the records. At times we could hear some of them singing along “Yeah Yeah Yeah” with the Beatles! Amazing, isn’t it? Unknowingly, they too became the Beatles’ fans!

Oh Yeah! I was so crazy about the Beatles at that period of time that I copied the images of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and ink-printed on my T-shirt. I felt so proud of wearing it and showing off to my friends. What a good sign of Beatlemania!

I believe many of us, including the new generation of listeners, still love the songs of the Beatles. I hope you sing - this beautiful song of the Beatles' “I Want To Hold Your Hand”:

Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I’ll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand.
Now let me hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I’ll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I’ll feel that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

I Hope You Sing - Put Your Head On My Shoulder

The 1st single record I bought was “My Hometown” sung by Paul Anka. It was 1959, the year I joined the Remove Class in Clifford Secondary School, Kuala Lipis, Pahang. I had completed my primary education in Chung Hwa Chinese School.

Somehow I was told that one way to improve my English was listening to English songs. From then on, I tried to save my pocket money and started my collection of English songs one single record at a time whenever I saved enough to buy one. My greatest joy was when my late father gave me sufficient money to buy a LP (Long Play).

Remember the story of a mother used to ask her little daughter what was the important part of the body? After many years, she finally told her daughter that the important part of the body was her shoulder. However, she explained that the shoulder could hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cried. I think whenever my wife put her head on my shoulder, she feels comforted, being loved, and protected. How about you, my friends?

Now let us listen to what Paul Anka had to sing in his song, “Put Your Head On My Shoulder”. Stay tuned and here it’s the lyrics:

Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too

Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss goodnight, maybe
You and I will fall in love
(You and I will fall in love)

People say that love's a game
A game you just can't win
If there's a way
I'll find it someday
And then this fool will rush in

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear
Tell me, tell me that you love me too
(Tell me that you love me too)

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear, baby
Words I want to hear, baby
Put your head on my shoulder

I Hope You Sing - Mona Lisa

My old buddy, Tan Jing Ming, always reminded me of the oldies we used to listen and sing along during our younger days. He was one year my senior when we were in Clifford Secondary School, Kuala Lipis, Pahang. Those days after school, I used to go to his father's Overseas Chinese Book Store to chit-chat with him and his brother, Jing Phong, as we sat on the rottan chairs in front of the shop. Later, we would like to go to the nearby Sin Hup Seng Kopitiam to have kopi or iced barley water and roti kiap (toast with kaya and butter). The jelly with milk was also our favorite.

They used to come across the Main Street (Jalan Besar) to my father's tailor shop (Bakauwali Tailor) in the late afternoons and then I would put on the gramophone to play our favorite songs of Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Pat Boone, and many others not forgetting Nat King Cole.

I do not have the Senior Citizen Version of Mona Lisa, but I bet you'll still enjoy the original Mona Lisa sung by Nat King Cole.

Here it goes:

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

According to Glodine Jourdan, even something as simple as a visit to the Facebook offices in Silicon Valley gives Haas students an opportunity to learn — about themselves. "The conversation en route and during dinner," says Jourdan, "was exceptional, ranging from career options to business plan ideas, to life in general."

"I couldn't have made it through my first semester without the support of my study group. We all had core competencies in different areas, so together, we were the complete package."

"I started business school thinking I would move into portfolio management. I reconsidered that because one of my professors, Rashi Glazer, really sparked my interest in marketing and brand management."

"The Haas Alumni Network was essential to understanding what people who had been in my shoes were doing now and how they made that transition from school to work. I spoke to one woman who works in the cosmetics industry. She was incredibly open about sharing her challenges, not just professional, but personal."

Bluffdale's New Puzzle Crunching Palace
Mining the Infosphere on the Wasatch Front

1381 It’s no bluff on the bluff: Bluffdale’s mega-data mine under construction down the road from the mega-copper mine. CLUI photo

A BIG CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN Bluffdale, Utah, started in January 2011, looks like some kind of mining operation, with piles of displaced soil, terraces, and heavy earthmoving equipment all over the place. And though it is in a mining district, and just ten miles south of the Bingham Pit (one of the world’s largest open pit mines) the project at Bluffdale is not a mining operation, at least in the physical sense. It is a new National Security Agency computer processing center–a data mine likely to become the largest one on earth.

The facility, the Utah Data Center, is being built in Camp Williams, an already existing military training reservation operated by the National Guard. The 1.5 million square foot building, expected to open in October, 2013, will surround a 100,000 square foot computer brain that will help the NSA process its load of information that is expected, in a year or two, to exceed a quadrillion gigabytes of data – one “yottabyte.”

The information in this intelligence storage battery will be processed continuously to meet the classified security demands of the nation as directed by current legislation. Doing so, the building will consume 65 megawatts, equivalent to the amount used by a medium sized city. This site was selected partially based on the abundant electricity in the Salt Lake area, and the two major electric lines converging near Camp Williams. The NSA’s headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland, has maxed out it’s local grid.

This is just one mega-processing center currently under construction for the NSA. Another, the Cryptologic Center, is being built in San Antonio, Texas (near a new 500,000 square foot Microsoft data center), and another billion dollar facility, the Security Operations Center, is opening next year at Fort Gordon, near Augusta, Georgia. The Bluffdale site may end up being the largest of them, and once equipped, is expected to cost around $3 billion.

From government to private enterprise, digital information is piling up, and storing and processing it is the future’s infinite task. Despite its “immateriality,” information storage is physical, and is taking up more and more space and energy. Storage and processing capacity is directly related to available energy. It’s a curious incident in the poetics of place that this new mega-data farm of the 21st Century is sprouting up next to the copper pit that formed to supply the electrical wires of the 20th century.

Typical Mess

Online: 3.50 minutes Order Wait: ~3 minutes Quality: Poorly assembled

We were at the local mall this Sunday so my high school son and I decided to grab a quick bite at McDonald's. I secured a table, he bought the food. When he returned he said, "You're not going to be happy."

He was referring to the way the mustard, ketchup, etc. were smeared all over the inside of the hamburger wrapper. He knows I have a critical eye for quality and it was easy to see that this wrapping job was not too good. The funny thing is that the store was not busy - a very small line and an apparently normal amount of workers. Why is it OK for their product to look like a disaster? Would anyone buy a pair of Nikes with the insole smeared around the inside and onto the box?

Stop touchin my blog! said...

i am the same exact way. i would have exchanged it for a clean looking burger sandwich! AND got a refund.

Anonymous said...

I am with you - I hate when the ketchup and mustard are smeared all
over the place

I hate it!!!

tlaloc said...

Absolutely! An utter disgrace!
Does this McDonalds care nothing for their customers health? This burger must taste right and look right too if is to be ground up by a customers teeth (real or false) and mixed with spit before being forced down their espophagus by a spasmodic movement of the epiglottis. A burger must be neat in order to survive this sort of treatment and the submersion in stomach bile that follows. Science has shown that non neat burgers do not allow extraction of all the vital nutrients before the burger residue is sprayed out of the customers anus onto the inside of a gleaming white porcelain toilet bowl. A toilet bowl furthermore uninfected with stray public hairs or rectal matter!

This McDonalds must pick up its act!

a librarian said...

You "have a critical eye for quality," but you eat at McDonalds?

That's a contradiction or cognitive dissonance or an oxymoron or something.

McDonald's is relatively fast and relatively cheap. They are not relatively good.

In response to her quarter life crisis, singer-songwriter Daisy O’Connor quit her career in social work and hit the road to write songs, live simply, and “do be do” what she loves today.

“Music saved my life, reaching my darkest moments and reminding me I’m not alone.

I want to shine that light back.”  An engaging, humorous, and candid performer, Daisy prefers to perform solo - folksinger style- and tours as much as she can, always taking the road less travelled.

Daisy’s debut full length album “Lightchasers” (released February 2017) mixes indie folk, rock, psych, americana, country and pop into a soothing groove that’s all her own: quirky, captivating, cleverly queer, and crooning.

Home schooled Catholic in the country, young Daisy saved money to buy her first guitar by selling sheep and taught herself how to play in her unheated attic bedroom. Daisy went to college at 16, keeping music a bedroom hobby. Post-college Daisy spent 5 years working with women on the run from love gone wrong at a rural domestic violence shelter.

During that time, Daisy met blue collar songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov, who inspired her to start writing songs.  A native of Washington state, Daisy found rich songwriting soil in Texas and now calls Austin home. In 2014, Daisy self-published the"Do Be Do" EP, which quickly established her in the Austin music community, earning media attention, radio play, and a growing global fanbase. Daisy co-wrote the title track with legendary songwriter Steve Poltz, who wrote hit songs with Jewel (including "You Were Meant For Me" which is one of the first songs Daisy learned to play on guitar.) It's a small world indeed.

"a forceful combination of honesty and artistry." - Texas Music Magazine

Surviving Winter

February, you big jerk.

Mother Nature is the moodiest in February, taunting us with Spring days and then turning right around and throwing a full-blown freezing snow filled winter in our faces.

But March is here now and doesn't that sound lovely? March. A stepping stone into a season that is easier to love. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the next season, trying not to wish my days away while also waving my white flag in surrender because Winter has beaten me down once again.

And it's not just me, you know. My kids are all sorts of antsy for better weathered days. After the long winter they are a little more moody and grumpy, a little more sullen and stone faced. Jace said to me, "Mom, can we move somewhere where they have no snow and you can ride your bike any day you want to?" He is a child after my own soul. He wants to run wild, ride bikes, build forts and soak up the sunshine until after bedtime.

And anyway, March! We welcome you with open arms!

Currently getting me through seasonal depression:

This Is Us, best show! I cry every episode. All of the feelings.

The Bachelor, duh. Mind numbing stupid reality tv at its finest.

Big Little Lies, new show on HBO.

Trolls is on repeat at our house, we loooove it.

Currently reading The Nature Fix, a book that Dan got me for Valentine's Day, and it is perfect for me.

Over the winter I read and enjoyed:

Brene Brown's Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection

Looking For Alaska

Anne of Green Gables (classic)

Music is so huge for my moods. I need music that speaks to my soul. I need it most when I'm winding down after a long day, or when I'm about to begin a long day. This winter I have stuck with just a few that have really fueled me:

The Lumineers and Mumford and Sons on repeat.

Also loving Alan Isakov.

And occasionally still finding peace through Dashboard Confessional.

It's no secret that I am in love with Larabars, all natural and sweet enough to curb sugar cravings. My favorites are: peanut butter brownie, coconut cream pie, lemon bar and chocolate chip cookie dough.

Cooked dates rolled in crushed almonds or coconut flakes.

This black bean hummus has been my go-to for munching. So soooo good.

Slow. I have been so inspired to make my life less busy. I don't want crazy, I want easy. I want as much peace and simplicity as I can find. I want more time with my family. I want mornings to breathe and sip coffee and read. More sunrises and sunsets. Less distractions. I am straying away from a life packed with too many things to do.

My sister told me about a new meditation technique and it has been an absolute life changer. For five minutes you close your eyes and clear your mind. During the five minutes, any time a thought enters your mind, shut it down and re-clear. After the five minutes is up grab your journal and jot down all of the thoughts that entered your mind during the meditation. This has hugely impacted my awareness and my ability to let go of the thoughts and worries that aren't beneficial to me. LIFE. CHANGING.

Anyway. I truly hope you are getting through all right. I hope you are being slow and kind to yourself. (Better days are ahead! And very soon, according to the weatherman!) We can do hard things!

Car Wash Terror

Remember when I mentioned that Shelle and I went through the car wash? We had to do it again today, due to Adelaide's inability to produce a better storm than a couple of drops of rain and lots of dust.

We followed all their instructions about removal of, um, appendages.

We went forward, and back, and stop, and shake it all about. And that's what it's all about.

And then the crazy started!

Aarghh!!!! We're moving! Oh my god! Let me out! There's nowhere to go!

But then it was all over, and the car was nice and clean.

At least until Adelaide's next sorry attempt at rain.

(I should admit that there was actually some pretty decent lightning last night. I was so freaking excited. No-one else shared my excitement. Something about bushfire season.)

  1. carlabalala10:52 am

    Huzzah for lightening! I don't think I mentioned to you the brilliant storm we had at 2am Friday morning... the cyclonic winds, thrashing rain (falling horizontal, not vertical) the bone-rattling thunder that sounds like it could split your house in two... good memories. Bush fires smush fires! Hooray for summer storms!

  2. I went through the carwash a month or so ago and just freaked out the whole time because I thought it would eat up my antenna. It's one of those ones that you can't push down and I could hear it twanging back and forth as the brushes went over and back.

ProStaff Reveiw: Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment – String Trimmers

Screen Shot 2017 06 29 At 1.01.36 AM

ProStaff Reveiw: Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment – String Trimmers

Are you ready to ditch the gas can and forever say goodbye to pesky 2-stroke engines that, for no matter how hard you try, never seem to run right come springtime?

The big three tool manufacturers have hit the summer of 2017 running with cordless string trimmers, blowers, hedge trimmers and even chainsaws that operate on the same batteries you have in the shop or on the job.

Banking on the more power is better philosophy; these cordless yard machines are delivered with large capacity battery packs. The same batteries running high demand tools like right angle drills, rotary hammers and saws.

Whether you’re tired of finicky small engines or have better things to do with your time than make that last minute run to the gas station just so you can mix up a gallon or two to trim out the yard, these tools are definitely worth looking twice at.

Here is a quick rundown of my own experience with the Dewalt 60V, Milwaukee 18V and Makita 36V OPE. Watch for additional reviews as more tools are arriving weekly here at The Hub.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL String Trimmer

New product/tool design engineers are always tasked with designing the next best thing, the fastest or most powerful tool that will turn heads and ring in sales. One guiding principle in design is the “KISS” method. Standing for “keep it simple stupid” but it’s not necessarily a negative connotation in the final production model of the M18 string trimmer.

Screen Shot 2017-06-29 at 1.01.19 AMWith a simple safety locking throttle trigger, high/low speed selection and a single 9.0Ah battery pack this trimmer is as simple as it gets. Oh yeah, and its extremely powerful. The 14”-16” cutting swath and straight shaft are perfect for clearing thick overgrowth or manicuring your 9th hole-like lawn.

I only wish my video turned out a little better but you’ll have to take my word for it, this 18V tool is a beast when considering power and runtime. You’ll want to have a 9.0Ah battery but you’ll only need one to finish your yard. I trim about an acre and can complete the job on about 2 bars.

A post shared by Mechanical-Hub (@mechanicalhub) on

Dewalt 60V MAX String Trimmer If you’re familiar with the new FLEXVOLT tool lineup from Dewalt then take a look at this trimmer. Running on a single 60V 3Ah FLEXVOLT battery, this cordless trimmer has a ton of power upfront and decent battery runtime. Motor placement is different than all the others in this category in that it’s placed directly at the head/end above the line spool. Like the other two here the 60V MAX uses full-sized trimmer line, which absolutely rocks when comparing these trimmers to early models of electric/cordless trimmers. I have run this trimmer thru some pretty tough paces and have been thoroughly impressed with its power. I’m a little concerned with the amount of debris buildup on the motor housing but I believe most of that is from using it to clear heavy overgrowth in the field out back. Typical yard usage would likely not cause such buildup and therefor not pose a problem to the motor itself.

A post shared by Mechanical-Hub (@mechanicalhub) on

Makita 36V String Trimmer

If you’ve got a couple Makita 5Ah batteries and enjoy a tool truly designed with the user in mind then look no further.
The Makita XRU09 string trimmer has an outer rotor brushless motor direct drive system which provides for high power and high torque. The engineers included nearly all the bells with this one giving it two speeds and even reverse. You might be wondering “why reverse” and the answer is simple really. When clearing tall grass or weeds in heavy overgrowth areas the head of any trimmer will likely be wrapped up over time; the reverse rotation setting allows for quick clearing of the trimmer head and in my opinion that simple genius in design. They added a switch and circuitry to run the motor backwards for a short duration, why didn’t the others do that? I personally like the ergonomics of this trimmer best. Its also smoother and powerful enough to handle all my trimming needs over nearly and acre of yard and landscaping. Videos are still in the making.

Joining us now Mike Barrett might get after an hour -- We are great looking -- and the blazers season he's but I can you believe it's already here. Now well in some ways the option it always seems wrong and then you you go back on the road and you know we kind of at least in the same location same hotels. I've been you know eleven years and -- that a lot where you get -- so -- just yourself -- -- when you step back into it it seems like it was yesterday that. In the time before that has indexed and along comes into play. A game that makes sense -- election about. You're screwed up on my football watching bear. Yeah I know what only got to ninety about it. Ally yet there's probably some Macs in or something on it. Yep and it's opened -- no it it should be excited about it and you know KGW tonight -- Comcast on Friday and back and KGW on Saturday so now we're excited to get back on the air. So -- there are a lot of changes obviously with this team the bench got deep all the sudden when there wasn't a bench last year we were talking about a little bit ago how. -- Thomas Robinson could in the long run be the most important player on this team with. Know what can happen with LaMarcus Aldridge in the future it what do you see out of him from the pre season and whereas his development right now. You know I think if they're taken. Somewhat of a patient approach but I think he's been at times you know and -- -- he's going to be the factor there and at times it is surely can be dominant and you know just the biggest thing for him is I think from them they realize there's two guys that are simple either -- early. Give him to a couple of things to do those mechanic off the bench that. Seem to be the most effective and he's still what kind of a motor he hasn't. As far as rebounding and you know reduce things that are in his toolbox don't take HE nineteen footers. -- inside -- a little bit place Symbian and give you that toughness off the bench and if you can give you that her I don't know 1518 minutes a night I think they're gonna be real happy with that that's the the upside is huge downside there really isn't on because you are indeed -- him as far as getting Emmys and a manageable price and NG Richie got an and that's the cabinet meeting with a lot of his roster and we talked about. You know such ability and you're you're not. You have -- mortgage your future to anybody at this point and there's a lot of -- we can't say that so I think that media is one of the most attractive things. About the roster and about what Milosevic -- -- -- this year it's it's the flexibility part. Is it that chemical locker room for him -- kind of walking into as well as the expectations are high have LaMarcus Aldridge of the young leader in. Millard and then you have Wes Matthews -- a kind of grown that's kind of the good environment is an. Yeah out I think totally you know term you want guys to set examples throughout the -- Indian guy like Thomas Robinson comes in and you know we -- it's thirteen minutes is only the second year which is kind of easy to forget. -- around some guys who have to work ethic of a Mo Williams and have a Wesley Matthews -- a -- -- -- those are great -- and the year round and that that is so important and that's one -- into the chemistry. So far anywhere this group having some veteran Earl Watson is so big about -- and one other you know what a great human being in the NBA everybody survey years about -- -- solid all the guys are solid so when you bring young guys along and you know even Egypt column as recent -- about -- a -- ushers seemed so mature beyond these years that. I'm really happy with this group of guys and and with the direction LTV -- -- mentally first caller cadets that huge part of the development. Trailblazers TV play by play voice Mike -- is our guest here on the -- and Mike you know Nicholas -- has such high expectations when he's healthy he's so good but his health is always been a question. And you can't predict health but how important is -- this team. Are you feuds and you know we Bjork kind of our picks or picks to click to -- for the game kind of personally saying what we. Pick a guy who thinks can step up and not a -- tonight and -- collapsed preceding game at Golden State when he. In separate fifteen rebounds -- -- played a lot of the off guard spot I don't know how much time seeing that the two but I love him there. He can dissent point -- I think -- Terry Stotts use him. Doing that at times -- years but he's complaining about -- -- in -- and do notes this morning and he realizing. He's been around awhile it seems like he's such as that he's only 24 just crazy to think about. You know I think over the summer winning Euro basket for France and playing alongside Tony Parker and having Parker basically tell nick to carry the team and ordered those are big things -- development. And -- like nick wasn't in the church anyway bit. I'm you know he he's only gonna get better and better and and that was another deal but it takes more smartly done and I don't think even though the prices driven up and adults you know matched the salary I'd still think network that you know I think chance direct your question they keep. His health and his development and are huge key to proceed. -- did the center position seems a lot more stable with the additional Lopez and that everybody is kind of talking about this offseason and the pre season at free -- has a guy coming off the bench. Does that you know bode well awful for them going forward and even into the future Friedman keeps improving and you got Lopez teach and kind of how to play in the NBA at the center position. Yeah and then -- and a lot of little bit okay buyers. You know it is not going to be the back every going to be inserts that are off the bench they -- old stadium and much and but -- you know the way used in the beginning was corrected this is more about what actual tree -- has done right in what Myers has done wrong and distinctive a 28 year old who is considered the best big man in Europe is gonna. Get minutes over 41 year old who played one year college ball. It except -- we're not like Myers is way off track here when it. You know they trapped him and then they go all in on Roy Hibbert so I think that was pretty telling from -- (%expletive) that time. That they considered buyers to be more of a longer term project and so I don't think it should be any panic the fact it. If he doesn't get a lot of minutes early on -- reluctant to admit I think the thing and I'm a huge -- and and part likened likened so much a person that you know look what he's shown and the senses in the -- he wouldn't talk about and the opening training camp and being -- has. Shown a little better sense defensively and and great energy and and -- got so much bigger and stronger and spending the summer in Portland and not playing Turkish you know the British national team that -- -- stay here and work on his game it paid off for an -- -- forum and but the -- you know it is going to be big Myers is shot because you'd like to thank -- -- actually -- the failure. Specially for your big element that -- not gonna happen. You know Mike Daniel -- talked about bringing in -- a senator this year and they did that and Robin Lopez is an executive and named it. You know get blazers fans excited and it's so difficult to look at where he was in the past and expect them do the same things or be better this year but. His rebounding numbers weren't there in the past is scoring numbers weren't there in the past so what is a realistic expectation for Robin Lopez. Well the first thing is that I think they're a great sign that he played only two games last -- like fifteen guys that that in Damian Miller were two of them and their -- starting lineup out the fact that he. You know any 125 we forget that two Robin is just now entering its crime. Then at least in my and I think a lot of coaches as well I think it's he's been a pleasant surprise so far. He's got a little more often than maybe -- shown that you're not asking him to do you know you're playing alongside. LaMarcus kicking action is not a good defender and China can be a good rebounder Robin is -- the rim protector that everybody talks about and that's. I don't think you can be overstated the value of having it I think you. Protect and the -- you know the guards are seeing they're seeing a little more freedom and the ability to take some chances because they know they have Robin behind. I wouldn't focus as much on Robin's numbers as that -- Just the fact that he stays healthy and is present and even in like our readers a bonus and I'm not during the QB go back in a later date. And it never -- down -- I think people's that he just upstate new president. And for every couple blocks shots he caddie expected ten to fifteen more and that's what they want out of -- Mike just seems to be a synergy or like ability to a lot of these guys on this team it's an unusual I think for a couple of years past and he's been around team a lot -- What does that have to do with coach -- and that kind of way he handles these guys. Such well coached not to the tremendous person than narco. But let's be walking by -- -- and he has to ask that you guys that you've got an outside in front Rotella and not just older and computer out so. Yeah he was walking back -- McEachern and you're headed back. Fazio course you know I didn't hear -- -- -- -- seems to be -- synergy -- like ability of this team and how much does that have to do with coach shots -- the head coach and these younger guys. I think it's cute and I think you know. I love coats not a real -- you know we -- like him in the players all like him at the same time they respect him he's not you know yeah I guess you could be -- could be considered a player's coach pat ease. Keep more than that I've seen in practice you know especially into training camp it people all think he has cheat then they're not really -- he'll watch and practiced as you'll get on the guys when necessary. And you know. It seemed like you we talk about the great chemistry we'll have great chemistry yet have so you know what is the -- Focus in the exhibition season I think -- pay off early I mean. Yeah that was pre season. You got five in two and you lead the NBA. Incurable defense -- -- only given up 38%. A game to your opponents are no extra season but you know you'd like to think some of that carried over at least at least that's the intention. And I and I don't think it was there in the past in that same way so. No I think he and his staff they took the 2 o'clock -- even a great ticket to an assistant coach and I think from that standpoint coaching stuff wise in the relationship which LT. Mike Barrett is our guest you can see and hear him tonight on KGW 7 o'clock -- blazers tip off their season in Phoenix against the suns. Mike is always straight talk you get to you soon. --

Blustery Days

This was the effect of wind burn on our Cherry tree Karzan even though we planted it in a spot that is sheltered from the prevailing wind the wind somehow prevailed and caused this damage.
The tree responded by shedding most of it's leaves. Buds on the branches look plump and healthy so it should get back to it's former glory next spring.

I have lost count of the number of fence repairs we have carried out to rectify wind damage. We thought that as we had a shelter belt of trees across the village, they would lift the wind high above our heads but it obviously isn't enough for this particular wind.

We will have to utilise several layers of planting to soften and filter the wind as solid or sheet materials would not withstand the constant battering from the gusts of wind. We have planted a line of Pomegranate as they seem to stand well at the edge of nearby farm land, and inside that line we have planted young olive trees. The young plants should be more robust and establish better than more developed trees and shrubs. The downside of that is the wait until they are a significant size.

I'm officially a southern girl now...

This past weekend I took a venture to my old stomping grounds up in NY. I was in my college roommate's wedding on Saturday and was throwing Joy a baby shower on Sunday (although her baby came 3 weeks early so we didn't have it). It was a crazy weekend and I was going non-stop the whole time. I literally slept at a different friend's place every night. I'm not gonna bore you with all the detail and honestly I just want to go lay in MY OWN bed.

Top moments from the weekend
1)Alex and Johnny's wedding...after 10 years in the making it was all worth it!
2)Going to Philly unexpectedly and meeting Joy's new baby girl Ebele
3)Seeing old friends from up north
4)Being in NYC...I love it there. Although I would never want to live there.
5)Before I flew up to NYC I spent the night in ATL and went to dinner w/ some friends and had a great time!
6)Seeing an infamous NY rat...it was huge!
7)Last but not least...arriving home

I do love the city, but it was a reminder how much I love it here in the south. Plus it wasn't fun carrying my luggage around all weekend!

Here are some pics from the weekend

With Larral @ Twist in ATL

Jess and me in the city...hadn't seen her in a couple years!

the beautiful bride and her gorgeous dress!

The Cream Event 2013

Hello! It has been some time since I last updated my blog, but I'm back to share the latest photos with you all! :) About a month ago, I was asked to provide sweets for Aracely, Owner of Minted and Vintage Dessert Stand Rentals. Aracely was going to be a vendor at The Cream Event held at the Vibiana in Los Angeles, and wanted my sweets to be apart of her dessert table. Immediately, I agreed to be on board! I was so excited to be apart of this event alongside other talented bakers. For those of you who aren't familiar with The Cream Event its an AMAZING showcased event that features tons of talented vendors in the wedding business. Pretty much this is the dream place for a Wedding Planner, or Bride to be! From Photographers to Catering Services a lot of talented people are there to provide tons of eye candy. So to begin Aracely gave me the color scheme for her dessert table which was emerald green, gold, deep navy blue and mint. As always my goal was to create beautiful sweets with a clean and classy look and came up this final look for the Cake Pops and Mini Cupcakes! Very simple but very beautiful and show stopping in person! I absolutely loved the gold glitter on the pops! What do you all think?

Mini Cupcake Flavors- Lemon Blueberry,Vanilla Dulce de Leche and Triple Chocolate

What I ate Jan. 21st and Jan. 22nd.

Friday Jan. 21st

Breakfast - Grilled cheese on a low sugar/carb bread and coffee with my usual

Lunch - Turkey deli meat and cow pals cheese

Snack - few pork grinds

Dinner- 2 low carb wraps (2 still are within one carb limit) with pork carnitas, onion and cilantro

Snack - sugar free (made with malitol) 2 pieces of coconut choc.  (they are very very tiny, but get the choc. fix)

Water with all meals (I am trying to drink as much water as I can)

Saturday Jan. 22nd

Breakfast - Egg McMuffin with water

Lunch- Chinese (every other Saturday I visit my grandmother to take her on errands and help her around her house---because she can't get around like she use too, plus I really enjoy visiting her.)  She wants to go to this Chinese buffet after I took her to run to a couple stores.  I told her I was on a diet, but I could probably find some things I could eat there.  So I choose a couple meats that weren't drenched in sugary sauce, and had one tiny spoonful of rice with the veggies in it.  I had a couple pieces of sushi California rolls and drank water. I may have gone over on my sugars or carbs a bit, but I don't know all the contents of the sauces.  But I did try my hardest to make the best choices possible to me.  Oh and my grandmother loves to cook and she sent me home with some cheese straws (I can have one or two and stay within the carb limit since they have flour and rice crippsey in them)

Dinner - wasn't very hungry because of lunch but I did have a small sandwich with a piece of cheese and salami with a piece of the sugar free coconut choc. and again water.

When you go out with other people its sometimes hard, but we gotta try to find what we can to eat, I know everyone won't always be perfect, but tomorrow is always another day. : )  I can't wait to see how much I have lost tomorrow morning when I weigh myself.  I haven't weighed all week because I wanted to it to be a surprise after a week long of dieting.  Well see and hope for some good news.  I am hoping on 5 lbs. at least, but well see. =)

  1. Oh my gosh, you've posted a lot since I've last been here! It sounds like you're doing great. Hoping for the best at your weigh-in tomorrow. :)

  2. Yea hehe I redesigned my blog and started following my diet super duper strictly well except one or two little flub ups, but I don't think they hurt me to badly. Yea I decided that posted regularly makes me be more accountable for what I eat and I feel like people can critique me a bit or possibly my eating ideas might even help someone else that is new to our blogger site. :) I am glad to see you back Minichick. I was starting to miss everyone because no one was posting regularly or even commenting anymore. :( I don't know where they all have been. Probably just alot going on in everyone's life. =)

Advocacy Updates

Condominium Residential Use dedication filing deadline is September 1, 2017

In April 2017, the Honolulu City Council passed Bill 8 (17) will allows certain condominium owners to consider dedicating their properties for Residential Use for a five-year period if their units are being used as a primary residence, or a long-term rental (more than 30 days at a time).

The dedication allows the properties that are currently on land zoned as mixed use, hotel, or commercial, and whose Declaration of Condominium or Horizontal Property Regime specifically states that the unit is allowed to be used as residential, to be classified as Residential, and thereby eligible for the historically lower real property tax rate.

This Residential Use Dedication will replace any previous methods by which condominiums on non-residential zoned lands were allowed to be classified as Residential. Previously approved Declaration Regarding Condominium Use forms are deemed to be invalid. A Home exemption will no longer automatically qualify a property for a classification as Residential.

Click for City and County of Honolulu information on Residential Use Dedication, a list of impacted condominium projects, and the Petition to Dedicate Certain Property for Residential Use form.

For questions, contact the Real Property Assessment Division at 768-3799.
