Alfred H. Menard — "The Hawaii Story"
Dad was very fond of a speech recognition program called Dragon Naturally Speaking. He had several different versions of it and they were all equally inaccurate. I found the output of Dad telling this story that it tried to translate. As best as I can tell, Dad tried to clean the translation up, but it gets worse as you read further. The original text is at the end of this page.
I think I've figured out most of it. I've quoted Dad's text along with my recollections of … "The Hawaii Story".
Dad was 21 years old in late 1945 when he returned from North Africa. In spite of the savings bonds he would never see again, Dad had saved some money and knocked around for six months without too much thought about the future.
When I was in the military I had two occupational specialities, one was as a radio mechanic, and the other was as a navigational aids specialist. Six months after I was discharged from the service I received a letter from United Airlines stating that they had a job opening for me. This confused me because I had never applied for a job with United Airlines. However I contacted them and arranged an appointment for me to talk to their vice president in Chicago. When I arrived at the airport and entered the United Airlines building I was ushered into the vice president's office.
Dad told me that when he arrived at the office, the lobby was filled with job applicants, including a high school friend. They chatted briefly and the friend complained that they'd been waiting hours for an interview. Just then, the secretary called for Dad.
He (the vice president) greeted me and explained to me that during the war United and other airlines had supplied the government with aircraft and personnel to run a Military Air Transport Command. Now that the war was over there were still funds in this account that could be earned by United by supplying certain key personnel that the Army wanted them to hire. I asked them how many people were on the list. He said in Chicago there is only one on the list. That was me. He said the job would involve going to the South Pacific. I asked him what the nature of the work would be. He said he did not know it was a Secret project called Hypo "a shot in the arm for the army". But perhaps when I arrived at Mills Field in California which was United Airlines headquarters they could tell me. I accepted the position and left a week later for California.
Dad claims that the vice-president was very pleased, gave him a cigar and walked him personally to the lobby to the amazement of his high school friend.
When I arrived at Mills Field (San Franciso) and reported in to United Airlines headquarters, I asked them what the nature of the work would be. They said it was a secret, but when I arrived at Hickam field they could probably tell me. I was given a uniform allowance and ATC insignia to wear. The insignias consisted of an ATC cap device, a Kittyhawk collar device and a black bar edged in silver rank device.
I left several days later for Honolulu, Hawaii. When I reported in to the Army Airways Communications System headquarters at Hickam Field, I asked what the nature of the position involved and was told it was a secret. To keep everything more secure they sent me to Wheeler Field about 40 miles away. Once I arrived at Wheeler Field nobody there knew what I was supposed to do, and didn't particularly care because the the Officer Corps for the Army Airways Communications System Squadron were going home in the next few days. Before they left they took me down to the Kapapa Gulch and showed me where the communications equipment was and introduced me to what few people were left and I would be coming in contact with now.
I joined the Officers Club. I was given a half of villa for living quarters and settled into work. During the next few weeks several more people dressed up like I was arrived and they assumed that since I was there first I knew what was going on. So each one of them would ask me what the nature of the job was. I told them it was a secret.
The work that Dad was doing was very similar to his work during war. Not counting the Constantine part, of course. After the war, the US government was quietly continuing atomic bomb testing in the South Pacific. The Army reservists who had been supporting the initial testing were rotating home. United's contract was to continue to provide communications and navigational aids support for the A-bomb tests. It was all very hush-hush.
There were still many pineapple fields on Oahu in the late '40s. It was common to stop by the side of the road to pick, and eat a pineapple. For the first week or so, Dad ate several pineapples per day. That got old quickly, and he joined the ranks of the old-timers, who could always tell when someone was new to the island; stopping to pick and eat pineapples.
About a month later I was sent to Johnston Island for a couple of days to solve a problem they were having with the radio range.
(Note: Johnston Island is 1000 miles west of Hawaii. The US military bulldozed it flat during WWII and it was essentially a life support system for aircraft runways. Later, it was used for nuclear testing. It's now at least somewhat radioactive and off-limits to the public. The radio range site was on a nearby small island, called Sand Island.)
The radio range sends out a radio beam for the pilots to fly along to get from place to place. The beam from Johnston Island was moving about instead of staying steady. When I arrived at the radio range site I found that half of the transmitter was not in tune and that the meter in the final stage of the transmitter was not functioning properly. I looked around the building and did not find a spare meter so I sent a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) informing the pilots that the radio range would be off the air for a short period of time. I then took the meter out of the other transmitter which was functioning properly, and put it in the transmitter that was malfunctioning.
I then tuned up that transmitter and put it back on the air and sent another NOTAM to inform the pilots that the range was back in service. I told the airmen at the station that I would order them another meter when I returned to Hawaii. They said they probably had one in their store room. When I asked where the store room was, they pulled open a trap door and said 'Down there.' So I took a flashlight and climbed down a ladder, looked around the shelves and found the meter. I climbed back up to the top and asked the airmen if they knew there were spare parts down there, why didn't they go down and see if the part they needed was there? The response was 'We're afraid to go down there because there are Black Widow spiders.'
Dad was frosted to start with, because the Army had six guys working at this transmitter site doing the same job he did alone in North Africa. Most of them were sergeants; he was a Corporal when he was discharged just seven months prior to that.
I then went back to the main island (Johnston), anticipating going back to Hawaii. They contacted Hickam Field. Hickam Field said don't come back, go to Kwajalein for a day or two. But when I arrived at Kwajalein Atoll, I found out I was going to be there for some time. They were moving all of the equipment from the surrounding atolls to the main island at Kwajelein and had also fallen out with the big secret that we were doing this because they were about to conduct A-bomb tests in the area and at Bikini atoll.
So, Dad had been on the job for a couple of months now, and finally knew the big secret.
I didn't have a spare set of underwear with me so I had to buy more clothing at the ??table?? store because they did not have an Army PX at Kwajalein. I stayed there about nine months helping to build a new transmitter site, antenna field, and receiver site.
At Kwajalein, Dad was directing another group of airman who had only been overseas since the war ended. Building the antenna field involved erecting tall telephone poles, and then climbing the poles (using the same spikes and belts as your local electric company technician used to) to run the antenna wires. He had done this often in North Africa. All of the airman had received the same kind of training that Dad had. And they were all too scared to climb the poles. Dad ended up doing all the climbing, disgusted again. At least there weren't any spiders.
While on Kwajalein, they also built an Officer's Club with open air seating shaded by palm fronds.
Kwajalein is located roughly halfway between Hawaii and the Philippines, to the west of the International Date Line (also featured in the Santa Story). Dad's passport had a Japanese visa; for years he refused to tell me whether or not he had actually traveled to Japan, since this information was still "classified".
Back to Hawaii
On New Year's Eve, 1946, Dad attended a New Year's Eve Party on Kwajalein. On the morning of New Year's Day, he flew back to Hawaii, crossing the International Date Line. Losing 23 hours on the trip, he arrived in Honolulu in time for another New Year's Eve Party.
Back at Wheeler field, Dad
"found that all my belongings had been removed from the Villa where I had stayed. Nobody knew their whereabouts. Most of the personnel had left Hawaii and had been replaced by a new crew. They had their own leader, a fellow named Askem. We got along very well, he ran his group and I ran my group.
Dad was living in the BOQ near Wahiawa. Most mornings, he would eat breakfast with a Japanese dentist at Little Kemu's. They would play pinball to decide who would pay; Dad claims to have never lost. There were three young Asian women who worked at Little Kemu's. They would close the restaurant some afternoons to watch the group play baseball. (I don't know which is more surprsing, that Dad played pinball or baseball?)
On Saturdays, Dad would often call the nursing college in Honolulu and tell them he was "coming to town". The dorm mother had become a friend, and she'd always arrange for a different student-nurse for Dad to take on a date. He would drive to Honolulu in his $200 car (no car in Hawaii was worth less than $200, the cost of shipping a car from the mainland). The car had been hand painted black and the roof replaced with a tin sheet. When he drove, the roof would shudder in the wind. Imagine Dad's sound effect for this, "labalabala…".
He would always take his dates first to the Officer's Club, since cocktails were a nickel. After some cheap drinks, they would go to dinner and dancing, although Dad always refused to dance. One of the student-nurses asked him why he wouldn't dance. He replied, "I have a wooden leg". She asked if she could touch it. Dad said only if he could touch hers.
After returning his date to the dorm, Dad would sit up late and drink coffee or whiskey with the dorm mother. She was 'much older', perhaps 27 or 28. Dad seemed very fond of her, but they were nothing more than friends, or so he claimed.
United Airlines had a block of rooms at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel reserved for flight crews. If Dad was out late in Honolulu, he was often able to reserve one of the rooms, so he wouldn't have to drive back to BOQ at Schofield Barracks. When the rooms were full, he would sleep on a bench on the hotel grounds. Some were in small cabanas for more privacy. Hotel Security didn't seem to mind; it was a different time.
The Royal Hawaiian was Dad's Honolulu hangout. He mentioned seeing Alfred Alpaca (think Don Ho) there many times. When Annie and I visited Honolulu a few years ago, we saw Alfred Alpaca's memorial statue.
Occasionally, a couple of the men would take dates to swim and picnic at a waterfall in Waimea Valley. Dad described it as almost hidden and completely unspoiled. I asked him in later years whether he would like to go back to Hawaii. He always said 'no' and thought that everything would be too touristy and ruin his memory of it, particularly the waterfall.
Over the summer of 1947, Dad and some of his buddies rented a beach house near Waimea. The plan was to go spend every weekend at the beach, invite a few girls, and have a party. The first night they were there, word got out. Before they knew it, the house was full of a hundred or more people. Some drunken Navy men got into an argument over the ladies and a full fledged brawl broke out. Dad described it as looking like a bar fight from an old western movie. He hid behind the bar briefly until one of the drunks came after him. Dad clocked him on the head with a beer bottle and hauled ass out the back door. For some reason, the landlord kept their security deposit and asked them not to come back.
Eventually United Airlines ran out of money and the contract was turned over to Pan American Airways who still had funds coming to them from the U.S. government. Finally after two years the contract was over and we were all processed to return back to the United State. Pan American did offer me a position to stay in Hawaii at the same salary that was getting but without the per diem, I decided to reject that offer and return to the states. When I tried to board the airplane to go back to America, the immigration employees told me I could not leave unless I could show them that I paid my my taxes during my sojourn. I explained that I was not a resident of theirs, but a resident of Chicago, Illinois. And that I paid income taxes to the state of California where my checks came from.
They wouldn't let him leave Hawaii without a tax receipt. Dad went to the Iolani Palace which was the headquarters for the territory of Hawaii government and explained everything, but they still wouldn't let him leave without proof of having paid taxes in Hawaii. So, he paid a second round of income taxes and left for California.
Dad's salary was deposited to the Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco. He liked to talk about the stage coach in the bank lobby. His expenses were deposited to a bank in Wahiawa. Dad used his earnings and expense money to pay for college and didn't close the accounts until years later.
The original converted speech from Dragon:

Thanks, ED! Enjoyed the parts I knew about and REALLY enjoyed learning about the new stuff. Love, A


In 2002, a Taiwanese publisher released a book of C.Y. Lee short stories about Chinese American life in the San Gabriel Valley. The book, whose title translates from the Chinese as "Manchu Gown Lady," consists of humorous stories about a side of California immigrant life that is rarely documented in literature. C.Y. Lee is shaping the stories into an English-language edition with the name "American Dream." Below are descriptions of three of the stories. Translation and story summaries are by Jue Wang.
"A Husband That Can't be Changed": Martha Fang is a third-generation Chinese American ashamed that she knows nothing about Chinese culture. After her white husband passes away, she marries Sam Chen, an American-born Chinese man, only to find out that Sam is even more westernized than she is — "a typical 'banana': yellow outside and white inside. He can't even figure out whether his family name is 'Chen' or 'Cheng.'" Hoping Sam will become more Chinese, Martha embarks on a "De-Americanization of My Husband" project, which unfolds in a series of hilarious failed attempts.
"Easy to Eat Noodles, but Hard to Sell Noodles": Wen Huasheng opens a small noodle house in Monterey Park using borrowed money. When two Asian gang members come to his restaurant and ask for a "security tax," Huasheng refuses. He relents after failing to persuade other victimized business owners to sue the gang. Each time he pays the monthly dues, he treats the gang members to noodles. One day the gang members come to collect when Huasheng is out. He then lures the gang members to his house and gets them arrested. With the gang members in jail, the other business owners are finally willing to come forward and bear witness.
"Finding a New Home": After marrying Dr. Tan, Zhang Meizhen nags her husband daily to move from Monterey Park to San Marino. "As a doctor, you need to live in San Marino to prove that you are successful," Meizhen says. She finds a broker named Betty Li and keeps herself busy visiting potential homes. Meizhen complains about her husband's lack of enthusiasm for the project and urges him to schedule appointments with Betty Li to visit houses. After three months, the family finally buys a house in San Marino. But Dr. Tan tells Meizhen that he wants a divorce — he's fallen in love with the broker.

The American ufologist and contactee Carol Honey (1928-2007) is today largerly forgotten in the annals of UFO history. He was an aerospace engineer and accomplished hypnotist who for seven years was George Adamski´s right-hand man. But he also claimed personal physical contact and close co-operation with a group of space people secretly operating behind the scenes. Unfortunately very little research and documentation has been published regarding his contact experiences but I find him an intriguing and enigmatic figure in the early contactee scene.
Much data on Carol Honey can be found in George Adamski. the Untold Story by Lou Zinsstag and Timothy Good, (1983). But information om Honey´s personal contacts with space people are a bit more difficult to trace. Bits och pieces of data are scattered in his publication Cosmic Science Newsletter, later changed to Science Publications Newsletter (S.P. Newsletter), published between 1962-1966. Timothy Good and Lou Zinsstag met and interviewed Carol Honey on November 19, 1979. Timothy has kindly sent me a transcript of the interview. To my great surprise they never asked about Honey´s personal contacts but concentrated on his co-operation with George Adamski. On two separate occasions, in 1979 and 1986, I wrote letters to Carol Honey with the hope of receiving more data on his experiences but he never answered.
In a letter to Flying Saucer Review, March-April 1959, Carol Honey mention that his interest in UFOs began after observing a "huge UFO flying behind an airliner". He moved to California and started investigating witnesses and contactees but was disappointed when finding so many mystic channelers among the contactees. But things changed when he met Adamski: "I visited George Adamski at his home in November of 1957. I fully expected to hear the same type of story as I had been hearing. Instead I got a real surprise. Here was a story down-to-earth and not involving seances, trances and other such things as I had run into before." On a lecture tour with Adamski, Carol Honey had his first encounter with space people at a cafe in Oregon.
"I was with Adamski when he had one of his contacts with ETs, to use the term som many use today and my own meetings were with physical humanoid people who periodically visited our planet when it was necessary to complete an assignment or help fulfill whatever job they were assigned to do at the time... This is not a claim that I am the only one having a legitimate ET contact. I am merely the person chosen years ago to lead the group among us here today and supply answers to combat the false ideas that abound today. Most people in the group are proceeding quietly and unobserved in their efforts to continue the public education." (Skeptical Analysis, publication no. 293, August 2003, p. 10).
Answer to a question from ufologist Lucius Farish: "Some spacepeople have scars from accidents, many do not... I have met one highly evolved spaceperson who had a bad scar so on this point I speak from personal experience. " (S.P. Newsletter, June 1963, p. 18).
"Six months before Mr. Adamski turned over his work to me, I was told by the spacepeople, during a face to face physical contact, that I had been chosen to succeed Mr. Adamski in his work. Sic months later I got the statement above from Mr. Adamski direct. Mr. Adamski was not present at that contact, or at any others..." (S.P. Newsletter, October 1963, p. 1).
Like many of Adamski´s co-workers Carol Honey left the partnership in 1963 when Adamski´s behaviour and claims became increasingly irrational. Edith Nicolaisen, founder of the Swedish publishing company Parthenon in 1957, and publisher of Adamski´s books, asked Carol Honey about his views and experiences in a letter February 10, 1968. Honey answered in a reply March 29, 1968: "George Adamski went off the beam before he died and many statements he made has destroyed much of the good he did previously. I can only back up the information in his first three books and most of this I can´t back up with physical evidence. I have had personal experiences myself which proved a lot of things to me but I will not make them aviable to a skeptical public."
"I have never read any books on philosophy (except Adamski´s Cosmic Philosophy), so I am unfamiliar with the way others use certain terms." (June 1962).
"Since the spacepeople have evolved far past the philosophical flounderings of earth, I feel it is unnecessary for me to waste time reading or studying the individual books here on earth." (July 1962).
I find it odd that Carol Honey never found or studied the more intellectual works in the esoteric tradition, Blavatsky, Leadbeater, Sinnett, Bailey. Perhaps his experiences among the 1950s California channelers and mystics made him skeptical to all such claims. If he, like Desmond Leslie, had studied the more academic writings in esotericism his perspective and knowledge would have been different. He could as an example have found his skeptical views on channeling confirmed and esoterically explained in Telepathy by Alice Bailey (p.75-77, 1966 edition). In this area he didn´t follow his mentor, George Adamski, who was well informed on Theosophy and the Ancient Wisdom. Carol Honey made a personal mix of metaphysical ideas combined with views from some psychics he supported, like Edgar Cayce.
During the later part of his life Carol Honey wrote hundreds of articles on various subjects that he distributed free of charge to anyone interested. Some of these were published in Flying Saucers 50 Years Later, privately published in 2002. I have found very few of his articles on the internet but one good example of Honey´s ideas is Fraud In Metaphysics, Occultism And Mysticism. Another is UFOs, What they Are Not. Of interest is also an undated interview, Hunting the Truth.
If Carol Honey really met some unknown individuals claiming to be spacepeople, were they telling him the truth or was "spacepeople" a cover to hide their real identity?
Vallee: "How can they breath our air? How come there are men, ordinary men with them? There are cases in France where witnesses have seen two dwarves coming our of a landed object, and one man with them."
Hynek: "... these damn things adjust pretty well to our planet. This is an important point that is often overlooked. The chances that conditions on a "home planet" would be almost exactly like those on earth are pretty small... Of course, if these reported cretures are really robots, that would solve this problem."
"Also in this room was a robot instrument which I was cautioned not to describe. I had noticed a miniature version of this robot in the Scout." (Inside the Space Ships, 1955, p. 60).
"Each pilot room has a robot. these, working singly or together, can fully govern the course of the ship, as well as warn us of any approaching danger." (Ibid. p. 77).
"True, they have robots to do much of the heavy work that once was done by manual labour." (Flying Saucers Farewell, 1961, p. 85).
In my blog I have often referred to George Adamski and some of the other 1950s contactees. I would not be surprised if some time in the future a few of them will be vindicated. Not in the way anticipated by the naive believers and cultists but from a entirely different direction presenting their experiences in a new perspective. The recently deceased Danish Adamski co-worker Hans C Petersen claimed to have discussed the robot issue several times with Adamski. In an article, The Sinister Forces From Space, he presents a somewhat more complicated view of the problem: "... the americans have constructed their own flying saucers, and that they fly just as if they were real space vehicles. Also, that they use the same propulsion system as do the visitors, and that these man-made vehicles are manned with robots - small grey men - all alike and produced alike in american research centers, as copies of the creatures found in the "crashed" saucers from outer space." (UFO Contact Newsletter, no. 1, 1993).
The creation of very advanced robots is today not a science fiction idea. Research is going on around the world, especially for military and commercial use. And what is done publicly has probably already been tested in secret black projects by various known and unknown military intelligence organizations and the intelligence arm of global companies.
There have been several humanoid encounter cases in Sweden where the robot or bio-android interpretation seem reasonable. Take a look at the Ivar Naumann case of 1958 and the Norrtälje humanoid observered in 2008.
A fascinating case where bio-androids are mentioned is the abduction experience of Amauri Rivera of Puerto Rico. He was abducted from his car by dwarfish entities in May 1988. When he regained consciousness Amauri found himself in an unknown room together with 15 people, all Hispano-Americans. Magdalena Del Amo-Freixedo documented what happened next in an article published in Flying Saucer Review, vol. 39, no. 1, Spring 1994: "Facing them was a tall, dark man of human appearance. His hair was long, down to the shoulders, and his complexion dusky. He would, says the witness, have passed anywhere unnoticed. This man said that he was human, just like them, who had come here from another planet in our galaxy. On either side of him there was a dwarf, similar to those we have already described. Almost all of those present in the chamber gazed with horror at the two creatures... He (the man) seized hold of its (dwarf) face with one hand and turned it to right and left, at the same time saying that they should have no fear of these entities, as they were biological robots created by them for certain kinds of work, and that they were quite inoffensive."
A rather different story is told by the neuropsychiatrist Dr. Shafica Karagulla och her research companion Dr. Viola Petit Neal, both well versed in the esoteric tradition as evidenced by their book Through the Curtain (1983). A close friend of Shafica Karagulla was Ingo Swann who passed away in February 2013. Ingo Swann is best known for his remote viewing experiments and his controversial book Penetration. Karagulla was something of a mentor to Swann and he has this interesting comment on her knowledge: "She also knew how almost all of the world´s intelligence agencies operated - those agencies known to exist, AND those which exist but are not known or even admitted to by anyone and don´t even have names... You see, Shafica was to become one of my three major advisors regarding international affairs of the type that never get mentioned in the media, science, academe, or mentioned even by conspiracy enthusiasts". (Ingo Swann, Remote Viewing. The Real Story (1996), chapter 40, Shafica Karagulla).
"There are a lot of THEM, you know, and many are bio-androids."

Delving deeply into these aspects of the UFO enigma is hardly recommended to the faint hearted. Paranoia can easily become your next door neighbor. Still, the original Vallee question is valid: "How come there are men, ordinary men with them?"

BREAKING NEWS: SEC to Vote on Final Rules for Crowdfunding this Friday, October 30, 2015
Oct 27, 2015 Andeanwire
Over 3 1/2 Years in the Waiting. Hundreds of Comment Letters later. We Sit on the Cusp of What President Obama called a "Game Changer" for Startups and Small Businesses!
It started with the Startup Exemption
460 days later we were at the White House
SEC to Vote this Friday on Final Rules
This morning, we awoke to the news that we have been waiting for over 3.5 years: The SEC will vote on Title III Crowdfunding on Friday, October 30th!
Woodie, Zak and I will never forget sitting in the Rose Garden of the White House and seeing President Obama sign the JOBS Act into law on April 5, 2012. There are many in our industry and in the traditional financial and legal communities that have said "Title III is dead" or "This will never happen." We have always believed in the inevitability of this day … and now it has arrived. On Friday, the SEC will prove them wrong. While we have at times been vocal critics of the slow speed of this process, we have always believed that this vote would happen and that crowdfunding for everyone would become law in the United States.
Friday will be a special day for us for 2 reasons. In January, 2011 we began our journey in Washington DC to do what everyone told us was impossible: to modernize 80-year-old securities laws about how private capital could be raised so that we could use the Web and social media to offer debt and equity securities to Americans.
5 years later, starting in early 2016, business owners in Eugene Oregon, Alexandria, Louisiana, Tarrytown, New York, Miami Florida or any other city or town in the United States will have the ability to raise capital from their families, customers and communities. Will all be successful in raising this money? No. But like in so many other things they will have a real opportunity to do so. That is all anyone asks for. A fair shot at their dream.
Thank you so much to ALL the people that were part of this massive effort in Washington DC (including Democrats, Republicans and Independents), across the United States and around the world for believing that this was a worthy cause and for working so hard to make it happen. The industry has been formed here in the United States and is ready to work responsibly with innovators and investors to create a transparent and efficient market.
This will also bring a great deal of curiosity by traditional investors, to a new sector of the global FinTech innovation that we have been curating and helping to build globally for the last 3 years. Asia, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East are all poised to embrace this new form of finance and we will continue investing and working in these regions to advance the global crowdfunding agenda.
Please let us know what you are working on and if there are ways for us to support your technology solutions, policy needs or connectivity to this fast moving market.
Onward,
Jason and Woodie

The Daily Lowdown
Big man on little campus takes giant step
There is a new day dawning at Dominican University of California in San Rafael. It is the Year of the Penguin.
Today, 43-year-old Terry Tumey was introduced as the new athletic director at Dominican in front of a standing room only crowd in the lobby of the Conlan Center. Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, a Dominican trustee, introduced Tumey, a former three-time All Pac-10 noseguard from UCLA who is now in charge of quarterbacking Dominican's future in the athletic arena.
Tumey, a defensive coach at UCLA and with the Denver Broncos, is going on the offensive. He must.
Here's the deal: Tumey is the point guard, so to speak, to take Dominican to the next level. The school -- a small, sleepy, private institution renown for its academics nestled in the hills overlooking San Rafael – is going public as it transitions this fall from NAIA to NCAA Division II competition in the Pac West Conference. It has recruited a giant man with a bright smile and big-time athletic pedigree (UCLA, Broncos, San Francisco 49ers) to lead the charge.
Why? Dominican needs a go-getter and Tumey has longed dream of becoming an athletic director. It's a perfect match. Tumey's duties as director of football administration with the 49ers had diminished since the man who hired him, Terry Donahue, left the organization. This was the ideal time for Tumey to jump and he has inherited a monumental challenge in this economy to bring fame and fortune to the Penguins.
Tumey is smart and charming. He is bold and daring. He is the right man for the job. He has stepped up to the plate and now it is time for people – coaches, athletes, alumni, donors – to follow suit. Dominican already has its "Field of Dreams" project. Tumey is its voice and vision.

Favorable date selection, most important factor in Feng Shui for important event.
Personalize Date Selection for Special and Important Occasions.
Date selection is considering the most important factor in Feng Shui practice. Beside studying the crash patterns of individual Chinese Zodiac Symbols and the date using a Chinese Almanac aka Tong Shu Chinese Calendar, we uses the secret theory of Xuan Kong Da Gua (Secret of Former Heaven Sixty-four Hexagram Chart) "element number" and "period number" to combine both Heaven Qi and Earth Qi patterns to enhance Human luck.
Without an auspicious date being selected, your Feng Shui setting or day for important events will never work to its fullest. And sometimes, they might not even work at all! Worst cases, it brings misfortune effects caused by Sui Po, San Sha (3 killings forces), Po Re (Broken Day), Five Yellow, and Goat Killing Forces.
Next time when you engage a Feng Shui master for an fengshui audit, remember to ask for an auspicious date before making changes or setting of your house and office to enhance good effects and avoid misfortune causes by bad Sha.
For Xuan Kong Da Gua Special Date selection for major or important occasions, please complete our Auspicious Date Selection Online Form.

Texas Rangers fans rejoice: Team has cheap beer and relatively cheap tickets

Rangers fans get a pretty good deal as opposed to other Major League Baseball teams.
According to Team Marketing Index, the Rangers have the 20th most expensive ticket among 30 MLB teams at an average price of $23.64. The MLB average is just under $29. The Boston Red Sox are No. 1 at $52.34.
The Rangers also are tied for the third cheapest beer price at just $0.31 an ounce. You can get a 16-ounce beer for $5.00. It will cost you $7.75 for just 12 ounces at Boston's Fenway Park.
Texas does have a higher-than-average hot dog cost at $5. The MLB average is $4.39, though $1 dogs at Cincinnati Reds games drop the average down.
Overall, going to a Texas baseball game costs is the lower third of MLB teams. That might be a good thing since the team is not predicted to do well this season.
BEER PRICES
FAN COST INDEX
The Fan Cost Index comprises the prices of four (4) adult average-price tickets, two (2) small draft beers, four (4) small soft drinks, four (4) regular-size hot dogs, parking for one (1) car, and two (2) least expensive, adult-size adjustable caps.

What causes tooth decay or infection?
A deep decay caused by infected tooth, a crack or chipped tooth, or repeated dental procedures or large fillings in the tooth and sometimes due to facial trauma. These reasons cause the tooth pulp to become irritated and inflamed.
How long does it take for the RCT?
A RCT may need a couple of visits to the dental office and often treated by RCT specialists or Endodontists specialized in Root Canal Therapy. An x-ray is advised to see the extent of infection or damage to the tooth and to confirm the treatment.
The procedure involves anesthetizing the area locally, to comfort the patient. An access hole is drilled into the tooth to clear out the infected pulp, any related debris and bacteria using endodontic treatment procedure. After thorough cleaning of the treatment, it is sealed the same day by some dentists, or sometimes temporarily sealed for a week or so with medication placed in the canal to completely clear out any lurking infection and prevent contamination of food and saliva entering the Endodontic Therapy, until the final filling is done in the next appointment.
In the final appointment, the root canal is finally sealed with rubber compound called gutta percha and restored to normal function with placement of a crown.
The perception is that the Endodontic therapy is very painful, but it is only true that the tooth may experience sensitivity after the completion of the this treatment because of inflammation of the natural tissue. The sensitivity also depends on the extent of infection the person comes with at the time of treatment.
How long would it take for recovery?
The recovery period is not more than a week usually if the filling is done in a couple of sittings. The tooth may feel sensitive after the first few days following the completion of a RCT. This discomfort is usually addressed with over-the-counter pain medication. Most often patients can return to their routine activities from next one or two days. Restraining the repaired tooth to normal biting and chewing is preferred prevent breaking of the fragile tooth before it is fully restored.
1) Retaining your natural tooth.
2) Maintaining oral hygiene with regular brushing, flossing, and antiseptic mouth-washing ensures the restored tooth to last a life time.
4) With the restored tooth, it is difficult to differentiate from the rest of the normal teeth for an onlooker.
5) Root canal is the best option to restore a decayed tooth.
The other alternative to a root canal procedure is – tooth extraction and replaced with bridge, implant, or removable partial denture – to restore the chewing function and avoid drifting of the tooth enabling proper bite.
However, the Root Canal Treatment is the most preferred option to retaining the original tooth.
