My source in Israel reports "the enemy has crossed into Israel and doing
combat in Kiriat Shimona." In her part of Israel, the police were stopping every car on the freeway this morning and checking documents (license, insurance, registration). Other than that, she assures us that life is going on as usual in TelAviv. She reminds us that all homes in Israel have a strong-walled "safe room" that is supposed to provide protection from bombs and therefore, we are not to worry about her. (Then again, this is someone who was in the midst of the Rodney King riots, and is a lot more mellow about such things than those of us who love her.) -- Karen C - California Finished 7/4/06 - needlepoint calendar canvas for August WIP: Getting all the UFOs done, July birthstone, Flowers of Hawaii (Jeanette Crews) for ME!!!, Farmers Market (TIAG#8) Retrieved from UFO pile: Marbek's Snow Angel LTR: Fireman's Prayer (#2), Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf See my designs exclusively at www.TyWolfeDesigns.com Editor/Proofreader http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

I wrote her a note asking that she post something saying she's okay, but so
far no answer. Of course, it's around 4:30 in the morning there so I hope she's just asleep and dreaming nice dreams. Lucille "Karen C - California" wrote in message ...

Not worrying is easier said than done. I do not believe that anyone is "safe" from anything in the world we live in. I am far away from all of what is going on, I am in canada, but I do think of the people suffering. |

Good morning and thank you to all the people who sent their good
wishes to me and ours and all other persons in this area. Things around here are complicated enough, without Somebody like you Karen trying to spread Unbased Lies. I really don`t know who your source in Israel is , nore where she lives [If at all she lives here]. The lack of mistaken Geographical facts, show me the writer lacks any local knowledge, it seems more like somebody using a Tv scale map Since last Wensday when the North was attacked, over the International recognized border, a million people sat in closed sheters or safety rooms . Since Friday a milion and half people sit closed in or limit their movements outside safe walls. My source in Israel reports "the enemy has crossed into Israel and doing combat in Kiriat Shimona." No such event occured in any time. The only Crossing that went over Kiryat Shmona ,yesterday were over a 170 missiles and rockets which landed over more and more places. Killed maimed and ruined. In her part of Israel, My part of Israel , as you put it , Is HAIFA , and i think all of you can now see Haifa in the news. Haifa has been bombarded yesterday with many rockets. the police were stopping every car on the freeway this morning and checking documents (license, insurance, registration). As far as i remember i have seen Police doing this kind of checking , Every where i ever lived , Whether it was Boston USA, Manchester UK, Brusseles. But Yesterday the Police were looking for a Suicide Bomber , which thanks to this careful polite checking of documents, was stopped before killing people. Other than that, she assures us that life is going on as usual in TelAviv. Even though our country is small , and Even though the missile`s ranges can reach Tel Aviv. We are very lucky that people there can still, enjoy normal every day life. She reminds us that all homes in Israel have a strong-walled "safe room" that is supposed to provide protection from bombs and therefore, we are not to worry about her. You might ask yourself why we need as a country, spend money on building protection?.

Things around here are complicated enough, without Somebody like you Karen trying to spread Unbased Lies. I really don`t know who your source in Israel is , nore where she lives As mentioned later in my post, she lives near Tel Aviv. I am quite accustomed to being called a liar by you for my own experiences which are different from yours, but I will not tolerate you calling my friends liars. Her native language is English and she moved to Israel after retiring, so she receives her news from a different source than you do. Perhaps the Hebrew-language news media were reporting differently than the English-language media, or perhaps her Israeli-born neighbor's English translation of what he heard was faulty, or perhaps this really is what happened and *you* heard it wrongly. I don't know where she got that particular piece of information. I have certainly heard it often enough in the US, where all the news media speak the same language, that one station reports something entirely different from another station. Just the other day, three different sources reported three different high temperatures for the day for the same city. I can tell you that I have seen reports in the American media of soldiers crossing the borders, and therefore, did not doubt that what she told me was accurate. Her career was as a court reporter, which requires that she take down every word said in court accurately, so she is used to listening very carefully to what is said, and therefore I believe she heard exactly what she tells me. As opposed to other people, who have repeatedly proven themselves incapable of understanding even what is in writing that they can re-read a dozen times to be sure they get it right before they respond. -- Karen C - California Finished 7/4/06 - needlepoint calendar canvas for August WIP: Getting all the UFOs done, July birthstone, Flowers of Hawaii (Jeanette Crews) for ME!!!, Farmers Market (TIAG#8) Retrieved from UFO pile: Marbek's Snow Angel LTR: Fireman's Prayer (#2), Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf See my designs exclusively at www.TyWolfeDesigns.com Editor/Proofreader http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

Just the other day, three different sources reported three different high temperatures for the day for the same city. I'd like to point out that in the case of the three high temperatures all could be correct. Each station may take its own measurements. A weather station on the roof of the building will give a different reading than one in the yard of the same building. Think about how much variance there can be when the stations are a mile apart! It is also very possible that none of those stations bothered to give the "official" readings for the city--which usually come from the weather station located at the airport. There are also multiple ways to observe the high temperature. One can use a "maximum thermometer" (like the good old mercury-filled tubes we used to use to check for fever) which will go up until the temperature reaches the highest point and then maintain that reading until it is reset. One can use a thermometer that changes constantly and make observations periodically (we did this at a construction job site). One can connect the thermometer to a computer or other data recorder and have constant monitoring. Obviously the second method is the least reliable of the three since the high temperature might not occur at precisely the time the observer is checking. -- Brenda Tickler of Chuzzles |
