[Official Site]
[Internet Movie DataBase]
War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to
expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and
media spin that has dragged the United States into one
war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor
and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable
archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration
from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail
how the American news media have uncritically disseminated
the pro-war messages of successive presidential
War Made Easy gives special attention to parallels between
the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq. Guided by media critic
Norman SolomonÆs meticulous research and tough-minded
analysis, the film presents disturbing examples of
propaganda and media complicity from the present
alongside rare footage of political leaders and leading
journalists from the past, including Lyndon Johnson,
Richard Nixon, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, dissident
Senator Wayne Morse, and news correspondents Walter Cronkite
and Morley Safer.
Norman SolomonÆs work has been praised by the Los Angeles
Times as brutally persuasive and essential for those who
would like greater context with their bitter morning coffee.
This film now offers a chance to see that context on the

We cannot buy formal dress every month we purchase them only for special occasions. As we know that different countries have different wedding styles. They vary from region to region. Some wear gayish clothes some have trend of formal dresses. Now talking about western countries, they have their own noble trend of dressing up in weddings. Most commonly for men they wear formal dress pants with a dress shirt and a tie where as women wear cocktail dresses commonly. In west region of the world, people have two different ways to celebrate marriages one is White tie (most common in Britain region) and Black tie (common in America), And as their names are different so are the dress codes.
Usually cocktail dresses or cocktail gown is an exclusive woman's dress worn at cocktail gatherings and semi-formal or "black tie"events.
Cocktail Dresses For Weddings
White and Black Tie:
Now cocktail Dresses suits on white tie occasion are quite formal. The rule of the thumb should be floor-lengthen in women white tie but it must be considered that the dress should not be a trumpet or a ball gown in fact it should suit you. While in black tie the case is different you can be casual-formal with your dressing. There are also other factors that matter in selecting a perfect cocktail suit for a wedding.
Color Factor:
Another important factor which should be remembered is the age factor. If you are in your 20's then you should be wearing color accordingly most commonly women at this age wear bright colors, but if you are in old age then you should avoid attractive colors and go for the simple colors. Now thinking about bright colors even if you are in your 20's then you should look for your skin tone because your skin color matters with your clothing so if you have a dark complexion or white, then you should pick up the color accordingly.
Design Factor:
Now here is another factor that has a great value and that is the design of the dress. Now what design it should be, It becomes quite confusing at such point but if you know what is the theme of the marriage then it becomes very easy for you to make decision and if you know how does brides dress looks like then selecting the design is not a problem but if you don't know about them at all then you should go for the best formal design that suits you.
Height Factor:
Height also matters in your dress look perfect. If you are short of height than you should go for clothes with shorter length and darker color because dark colors make you look much taller than bright color and similarly if you have good height then you should be wearing long dress with bright color so that you don't look that tall.

Saving Faces & Changing Lives
A Rigorous Training Program
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS) is a dental specialty that focuses on a broad range of conditions related to the facial region. The training to become an OMS is an intense commitment requiring many years of dedication. Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons complete more post-graduate training than any other specialty in dentistry. After four years each of undergraduate study and dental school, they apply for a four- or six-year hospital-based residency at one or more major trauma and children's hospitals. This residency includes several month rotations in internal medicine and anesthesia as well as up to a year of a general surgery internship with rotations in trauma, plastics, ICU and head and neck surgery. This rigorous training in dentistry, medicine and surgery makes an OMS uniquely qualified to treat various conditions of both the oral cavity and facial regions.
Learn more at www.myoms.org.
This full-length, in-depth video by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) highlights the training and scope of practice that oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo. Dr. Noori completed his training at some of the most prestigious programs in the country, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Indiana University.
The Peak OMS Focus
Dr. Noori's practice particularly focuses on dental implants, hard and soft tissue augmentation (grafting), the removal of indicated wisdom and other teeth, facial and oral trauma, and the administration of a variety of forms of sedation including light/conscious sedation, moderate sedation, deep sedation and general anesthesia.
Dr. Noori maintains active credentialing in:
- Basic Life Support

Meet Our Equines, Our Partners…
Horses are at the heart of Dunrovin Ranch. They are our business partners, our friends, our soul mates, and our sources of great satisfaction and wonder. We can't get enough of them: those who live among us, with whom we form strong bonds; those who take our spirits with them as they run free in parts of wild Montana; those in need of our kindness and help; those who spring off of an artist's canvas, through a photographer's lens, or from the pages of an author's story; and those who have passed over yet remain deeply embedded in our hearts. We are captivated by horses of every shape, size, breed, and disposition. We are curious about every part of their being. We exalt in the many ways in which they interact with humans. We eagerly seek to understand their important role in mankind's history. They enrich our lives – and we strive to enrich theirs. We are committed to taking the best possible care of our own herd, and we have partnered with the Montana Horse Sanctuary to help try to help Montana horses in need.
Dunrovin's Donkey DIVAS: Miss Gertie and Miss Maude…
Eccentric women are a staple at Dunrovin – SuzAnne comes from a long line of such women on both sides of her family. These two mischievous sister donkeys fit right into that tradition. Just like SuzAnne's Grandmother Gertrude, Miss Gertie is the older, daring and bossy sister who loves to kick up her heels. And much like SuzAnne's Great Aunt Maude, Miss Maude can be very opinionated but also has a sweet, cooperative nature and is all too easily influenced by Miss Gertie. The running and bucking around the barnyard generally starts with Miss Gertie – but Miss Maude is rarely far behind and they can whip each other into a total frenzy. They LOVE entertaining people with their antics, parading about town, and celebrating each and every holiday donned in appropriate attire. A true source of comic relief, it is almost impossible to be the presence of the Divas without a breaking into a smile.
Click here to learn more about the DIVAS.
Dunrovin's Best and Oldest Friends!
Dogs make us human. There's evidence that as humans began to live with dogs our frontal lobes grew along with our visual cortexes. Dogs, on the other hand, developed a more acute sense of smell and hearing. Where our capacity to reason expanded, the regions of the brain that deal with emotion expanded in dogs. Which is to say: we are their eyes, they are our ears; we help them think, they help us feel. If you've ever loved a dog, you know what we mean. At Dunrovin, dogs tag along with us during our chores, keep us company in the cold, and remind us to have fun. Jewel, our black lab pit bull mix from the local animal shelter is the consummate trail dog. She lives to fetch, swim, and lead the herd down the trail. Kola, our little Jack Russell "Terrorist" is probably the most entitled creature to ever grace this earth. It's all about him and he's more than happy to tell you so. Our staff bring their dogs to work each day and the entire ranch has literally gone to the dogs!

Discover the Ospreys of Dunrovin…
Dunrovin wouldn't be Dunrovin without our osprey nest and all the birds that visit us throughout the year. For years, Ozzie and Harriet have returned to rear chicks, and this is the place to discover their whole story, including the tragic loss of Ozzie in the summer of 2014. These two were models of perseverance, hope, and diligence. You can also find all of our talk about birds of many stripes, not just raptors. If you're new to our osprey camera or need a recap, take a look here. You can watch archives, as well as get to know what it's like to share our lives with these amazing birds.
…and Birds of all Kinds
Dunrovin Ranch's location along the Bitterroot River, with its riparian cottonwood forest, makes it a magnet for birds of all kinds. The ospreys, of course, demand top billing with the enormous nest that is a centerpiece of the ranch and their boisterous family life is a hallmark of Dunrovin's summers. But they are not the only birds that call Dunrovin home or pay a visit. Sparrows make their own nests in the lower catacombs of the osprey nest; other raptors including bald eagles and Cooper's hawks use the nest as a vantage point when searching for prey; woodpeckers, flickers, and magpies stop by. Dunrovin also maintains several wild bird cafeterias that attract everything from gold finches to stunning colored wood ducks. The river is home to kingfishers, great blue herons, and many ducks and geese. Golden eagles and red-tailed hawks soar overhead. The fields attract meadowlarks and bluebirds, and flocks of snow geese during their annual migration. Berry-laden bushes are swarmed by the waxwings, and wild turkeys and grouse strut across the lawns. Many of these birds can be easily seen via our web cameras.

Help fill my preggie cravings...
I'm pregnant & craving Japanese food- either teriyaki or sushi rolls that are cooked (scallop rolls are my fav' right now). Hubby loves unagi.
We'll be in Anaheim for Disneyland and need a place for lunch or dinner. Would love to find a Japanese place within 10-15 minutes of Disneyland. Preferrably inexpensive to moderately priced.
Anyone with suggestions?

Shire Swimming Pool Heating
Consider all year use of the pool; you require warm water. Often a business case for heating installation costs can be rationalised when these costs are offset against extra income from all-year usage and low ongoing energy bills.
Therefore, some rural councils are heating their pools on waste oil to produce a year round asset and public service.
The swimming pool at left is heated on waste oil with Kroll. Air temperature around 10 deg C, midday. Location is a rural pool 150 km south east of Melbourne, Victoria.

As Shah Rukh Khan celebrates his 50th birthday on November 2, we look at how the Badshah of Bollywood became the industry's most bankable star. We walk down memory lane with distributors and exhibitors across territories, and ask them to share moments they cherish from Khan's films. Here are some priceless nuggets:
Rajesh Thadani, Multimedia Combines, Distributor, Mumbai
When he was younger, Shah Rukh Khan's fan following comprised mainly youngsters but ever since he started doing mature roles, his popularity has increased and his fans are no longer restricted to any age group. Khan is also very popular overseas. Why, his name is enough to get people to sit up and take notice of a film, which then does not need much marketing muscle. Such is his charisma. This also means producers need not spend excessive sums to promote his films. In Mumbai, every film of Shah Rukh Khan has done extremely well, although with the increase in ticket prices, the repeat value may have declined. But his films have done tremendous business at the box office. I mean, look at the evergreen Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Brijesh Tandon, HK Tandon & Co, Distributor, Delhi-UP
In Delhi, the response to SRK's films has always been great and his movies have always done great business at the box office, especially when it releases along with a festival. For instance, Mohabattein and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. When he releases a film with a big banner, it always draws a great response.
Sunil Bansal, Yash Raj Jai Pictures, Distributor, CI
Over the years, Shah Rukh Khan's graph has risen tremendously. He is a great actor and all his movies have done great business, like Happy New Year, which did extremely well last year. The fact that Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is still running in some cinemas is proof of Khan's popularity. We have great expectations from Dilwale as well because it brings back the combination of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rohit Shetty. The film also features Varun Dhawan, so expectations are huge.
BH Basha, Bahar Enterprises, Distributor, Mysore
Shah Rukh Khan caters to a whole different market. From Baazigar to Chennai Express to Happy New Year, his fan following has kept increasing. If I had to choose one film that did extremely well in Mysore, it would have to be Chennai Express and Om Shanti Om.
Sarang Chandok, Sri Rang Films, Distributor, CP
Shah Rukh Khan is a brand that doesn't need to be heavily promoted to attract the audience. A promo or a trailer of his film is more than enough. The response to his films has always been tremendous from the very beginning, till his last year's release Happy New Year. In CP, the evergreen SRK movie would have to be Baazigar.
Jeetu Khandelwal, Movie Pioneer, Distributor, Orissa
Shah Rukh Khan has always cast a spell over women and teenage girls but, over the last few years, his fan following has dipped somewhat due to some great releases from Salman Khan. Having said that, SRK still delivers some great box office openings. There are high hopes from his upcoming Dilwale. His films have great stories and that is what captivates the audience. For me, Veer-Zaara is one of SRK's best movies in terms of collections.
Jaspal Dhingra, Nanaskar Enterprises, Distributor, East Punjab
People have always been crazy about Shah Rukh Khan's films, and when he works with a good filmmaker, his movies never fail to do well. His films always have great story lines, which is why he has a loyal fan following. This applies to his commercial films too. Khan is an evergreen actor and his fans go crazy when he releases a romantic film and his domination over multiplexes is unparalleled. To my mind, the film I think was most successful was Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham because it was a combination of commercial cinema and romance.
Debashish Dey, Aum Moviez, Distributor, West Bengal
Shah Rukh Khan's films have always done record business. Even at his age, last year's Happy New Year brought in amazing collections at the box office and is among the list of highest first-day grossers. The measure of Shah Rukh's charisma is the fact that his films don't need much publicity. The simple fact that he's starring in a film draws fans to cinemas. His movies usually release during the festive season, which means ticket prices are higher than usual. Still, people are more than willing to shell out the extra money because they never fail to get their money's worth. The SRK film that clocked the most business in Kolkata was Chennai Express.
Gaurav Ruparel, Girish Pictures, Distributor, Gujarat
Shah Rukh Khan started as a television actor who became a film actor, and then a superstar. But Khan is also a good businessman. He has a knack for selecting and telling a good story and making good films and his projects have always been profitable. The reason many who started their careers with him have not done as well as he has is that SRK has great business sense. He has a worldwide fan following. However, he is not as popular in Gujarat as he is in other territories because the audience here prefers comedy, and Shah Rukh Khan has done only a handful of comedy films, among them Badshah and Duplicate, which didn't do well at the ticket window. So his fan base is limited in Gujarat. The SRK film that still works here is Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Manoj Desai, Exhibitor, Maratha Mandir and G7 Multiplex
Shah Rukh Khan's films have always created a frenzy at our cinemas. From his early films to his recent releases, the single-screen audience adores this star. We ran Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge for 1009 weeks at our property Maratha Mandir. The uninterrupted run makes it the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema. I also ran Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Devdas and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai for quite a few weeks. But nothing can beat the success some of his recent films like Chennai Express. The actor believes in quality and quantity. I wish him a very happy birthday!

Interested in finding out more about the benefits of employee volunteering for your company? Jill Salter, who leads BITC Cymru's Community Impact team, would love to hear from you (firstname.lastname@example.com / 029 2078 0058).
" It would be hard to think up a better way of getting homeworkers to be team workers – and doing something positive for the community at the same time. "
Many of the 27 volunteers were meeting each other for the first time as they split into five teams, each containing a mix of people from across the division and the UK, and got down to work sprucing up Abbeyfield's Eleanor Hodson House care home. Volunteering gave L&G the perfect way to bring teams spread across the country together to develop their own communication and team working skills.
" My job is very pressurised but I feel that volunteering in an area outside my usual sphere of work is an excellent escape and opportunity to give something back. I hope that seeing us do great work like this will encourage others to do the same. "
"Homeworkers can occasionally feel isolated as they don't benefit from the camaraderie that comes naturally from working side by side with colleagues from day to day." he said, but went on: "Meeting up in person, putting a face to the name and working as a team helped bring them together. Tackling a community project together is a perfect way of getting all staff to feel included. We felt that the day really built bridges, led to the creation of new friendships and sustained existing friendships among the team".
Mark, along with his fellow team leader Key Relationship Manager Jason Howells, felt that, even though many of the volunteers don't work together on a regular basis, the team pulled together and ran with their brief.
" I was looking forward to having a bit of fun today, and it really has been fun. My colleagues and I work extremely hard in the office and, whilst this is hard work too, it's a refreshing change to be toiling outside. "
Volunteers not only got to meet to talk about something other than insurance but also learnt new gardening and decorating skills, enjoying the physical graft that had taken them away from their desk jobs for the day. The day also exercised their ability to work as one team and to operate within very tight deadlines, and everyone was proud of the team's achievements.
Why volunteer?
Volunteering is one of the most enduring ways businesses can support communities in Wales – and also creates opportunities to develop skills that employees can take back into their business. Last year, nearly 2,000 employees from 70 different companies across Wales gave their time, energy, skill and passion to support more than 140,000 community groups, local charities and schools. Employees taking part in Give & Gain Day last year in Wales overwhelmingly said that the time they spent volunteering was rewarded by the benefits of the experience (96%); 77% of employees said they developed their own skills and 82% of those who took part said they felt more committed to their employer as a result.
"This excellent collaboration between Legal & General homeworkers and Abbeyfield's Eleanor Hodson House nursing home illustrates perfectly how volunteering benefits both business and the community. Volunteering is a fantastic team-building exercise which also brings practical benefits to communities. What comes through very strongly on this occasion is how volunteering helped to create strong bonds between remote workers - skills and experiences they can take back to the office, for the benefit of the business" - Matt Appleby, Director of Business in the Community Cymru.
Companies interested in finding out more about the benefits of employee volunteering can get in contact with Jill Salter who leads BITC Cymru's Community Impact team (email@example.com / 029 2078 0058).

We have had a rollercoaster start to the spring growing season.
Periods of premature spring followed by freezing temps, snow and hail storms have left both plants and gardeners confused about what they're to do. By this date, there's a 20 percent or less chance of a frost—and this year, we will be within that 20 percent.
The forecast for the next two days has more snow and freezing temps ahead. Sadly, so many people got busy planting their tomatoes and annual flowers over the Mother's Day weekend. Now we have many plants at risk.
Perennials are more cold hardy and can generally survive the snowy weather and temperature swings. If there are new blossoms emerging, they may freeze, but the plant itself should weather the storm. It's those new veggies and annuals that are de more at risk.
RELATED: Late-spring snow comes to Front Range
RELATED: 9 tips to help plants survive the end of winter
For newly-planted annual flowers and veggies, we need to be aware that there are two weather threats:
1. Frost and freeze damage from the temperature dive
2. The damage from heavier spring snows.
Tomatoes won't like being pushed to the ground or a frost.
The best thing to do in front of the storm and temperature dive is to cover plants to hold the heat in the soil around the plants – and, also to protect them from heavy, crushing snow.
* Use regular household items such as cardboard boxes, empty plant pots or containers or buckets to cover tomatoes and peppers – and even tulips and daffodils.
* Make sure the container is big enough to cover the plant without pressing on it.
* If cardboard boxes are used, be sure to cover them with a large plastic bag or tarp so they stay dry. The moisture from the snow will cause them to collapse over the plants.
* Avoid using plastic as a covering if it directly will touch plants. Plastic conducts cold and provides no frost protection.
* Tomato cages can also be covered with fabric – think household towels, sheets, light blankets.
Another warming trick is to use non-LED holiday lights strung around tomato cages. Make sure lights are plugged into a protected outdoor socket. Then drape fabric over the lighted tomato cage to hold in the heat.

On Prospero's Isle
Malapascua Island Travel Blog› entry 26 of 31 › view all entries
June 1st, 2007 – by: jilltrekker
Earlier on the day, I met Trina, a Danish girl.
The next day, I was ready and packed, but still vacillating during breakfast with Helvio, if I would stay on. We visited Trina, and she was nursing an inflamed insect bite. Good thing I still had those ointments with me from the Tagbilaran dermatologist. Later that night, she'd get worse; and while she lay sick and vomitting, Michael from Sea Explorers would arrange a boat to take her to the nearest hospital, at Daan Bantayan.
In between getting the ointment for Trina and my 12:00 p.m. checkout time, I had decided to stay. I confess Helvio had something to do with it. He convinced me to take another shot at diving, since I was in a divespot anyway. We both went to Sea Explorers for him to sign up for an Advanced Open Water Dive course, and me to take the daytrip to Calangaman Island with other guests; both for the next day. I was too inexperienced to do the Thresher Shark dive, and I had limited allowable depth as a scuba diver.
On the day going to Calangaman, there was threat of rain, but it cleared up when we docked. The dive instructors (Michael, Martin, Rex, and Vic) were all Filipinos, and were all a lot of fun.
My Malapascua dive was actually much more fun than Apo, because I wasn't as scared! Vic challenged me to swim on my own, though he was close enough for him to give a hand when needed. A little water actually seeped into my mask, 15 meters down, but I managed to calmly blow the water out. On my first dive, I saw a lionfish and some mudfish.
Finally on the surface, Michael kept pestering me if Helvio was my boyfriend. Helvio had a scheduled night dive with him later in the evening, and Michael said he'd postpone it for me, since I was leaving the next day. I denied this, and urged him to still continue the dive because the guy was looking forward to it. Helvio was at the diveshop to talk to Michael when we arrived, wearing his team colors. (Brazil football, duh!). On my way back to the resort, I chanced upon Helvio on the beach, waiting for me. Michael had postponed the night dive. Perhaps he thought the lady doth protest too much.

Title: The Several Tricks of Edgar Dolphin
Author: Nathaniel Benchley
Illustrator: Mamoru Funai
Pages: 64
Reading Level: Beginner
Star Rating: ★★★★
When I found this book for ten cents at a garage sale, I picked it up thinking it looked cute. What I didn't realize was that it was a picture book that I had read in my childhood. What a reunion!
Edgar Dolphin is a clever little dolphin. His mother has already taught him how to jump and swim – and how to chase ships. One day, while practicing his jumps, he sees an interesting ship in the distance. He decides to go investigate. What he didn't expect was to be caught in the net and hauled up, over the side of the ship, into a tank on the deck. Will he ever escape and make his way back to his mother?
Edgar Dolphin and his mother love each other very much. However, when Edgar Dolphin sees the ship, his mother instructs him not to go near the ship. Instead of obeying her, he responds, "I know what I'm doing." He promptly gets caught. After he escapes, it is stated that he is heading back to his mother, but we never see them reunited, and so don't know if he apologizes for his behavior.
Edgar Dolphin features a very sweet, raggedy style of illustration.
Conclusion. Cute.

The 39-year-old was spotted at a recent event wearing a necklace bearing the name 'Milo', leading many fans to believe this is the moniker she and husband Patrick Kielty have chosen for their first child.
Earlier this year, Cat took to social media to share the happy news that she had welcomed her first son with fans.
Beyond delighted to announce the birth of our baby boy last week. All doing well & we couldn't be happier...— Cat Deeley (@catdeeley) January 19, 2016
3 really is the magic number!
The So You Think You Can Dance presenter's baby boy was born a week earlier, but the couple held off from revealing his name at the time.
Cat and Patrick revealed they were becoming a family of three in September 2015, after three years of marriage.
Speaking of her pregnancy cravings, Cat told E!: 'I'm all actually fine. I'm not too bad at all. I'm looking forward though to this week being over so I don't have to wear high heels for a long time.'
Cat Deeley showed off her gorgeous baby bump at the Emmy Awards ceremony in September
Among the well-wishers congratulating Cat and Patrick were Ant & Dec, who tweeted: 'Congratulations @catdeeley and @PatricKielty on your new arrival. Lots of love to the three of you xx'
Congratulations @catdeeley and @PatricKielty on your new arrival 𑶗 antanddec (@antanddec) January 19, 2016

The new mummy replied to the comedy duo, writing: 'Thank you darling! We are completely in love.... Can't wait for you to meet him xxxxx'
Thank you darling! We are completely in love.... Can't wait for you to meet him xxxxx https://t.co/SpV34ZqaC4— Cat Deeley (@catdeeley) January 20, 2016
Cat and Patrick tied the knot in September 2012, in a private ceremony in Rome with just six family members and friends each.
They were friends before becoming an item since 2002, when they met presenting Fame Academy together.
The couple's relationship was made public in March 2012, and their wedding only a few months later - in September of the same year - was considered 'unexpected' by the press.
Commenting on their engagement, Patrick said: 'People wait, because they need to get to know each other first. Cat and I were friends for such a long time, a good 10 years, so we already knew each other very well'.
Cat and Patrick were very good at keeping the ceremony a secret, which worked because they kept the guest list small.
Patrick also revealed why the couple didn't want a big wedding: 'In our business, we get to go to a lot of functions in big rooms with round tables and gold-painted chairs. A lot of people, when they have a wedding, want all that. But that type of thing would've just seemed like work to us. We didn't want to get married, we wanted to be married. There's a difference.'
Congratulations to the new parents!

This is an amazing organization that does so much good. They have low overhead, are very transparent and are dedicated to their mission. I have nothing but respect for the Save a Childs Heart Foundation and hope they ill grow exponentially in the future.
After not having visited SACH in almost a year, I was very excited to be back visiting Save a Child's Heart. The new children's home continues to amaze me with its warmth and spaciousness, providing an inviting and comfortable space for the children and their families to eat, play, relax, and enjoy their time while recovering from surgery. On this particular visit I met a young boy from Tanzania, who proceeded to give me his personal tour of the house, taking me by the hand and walking my outside and around the house, all the while telling me "kum", which I understood to be come or some iteration of "follow me." As always the best part of the visit were these interactions - individual conversations and connections that make truly tangible the life-saving work of SACH. Each surgery is a child, each child is a story, each story is special. I enjoyed every minute of my time at SACH and the visit re-energized me for the all activities in the works for SACH Young Leadership.
Save A Childs Heart (SACH) is a unique nonprofit organization that helps provide vital heart surgery to children from developing countries. These children are brought to Israel & are provided state-of-the art medical care, all free of charge. SACH actually saved these children's lives.
I was lucky enough to learn about Save a Child's Heart this summer by volunteering in Israel where children who benefit from this foundation are treated. What striked me the most was that this charity truly follows a no strings attached policy. Despite Israel's relations with the Middle East or various countries, there is no discrimination as to the origin of the children chosen for treament. Save a Child's Heart selflessly gives underprivelaged children a chance at having a healthy long life, and after witnessing this first hand I left with a new found inspiration to get involved and continue volunteering.
When I heard about Save a Child's Heart through friends, I knew it was something I needed to look into. After being in Israel for some time I realize that I have made a lot of big changes in my life this year but there are two things above all else that I am absolutely sure of. The first is that with every day I fall in love with Israel a little more. The second is that coming to volunteer my time at SACH has been one of the most valuable experiences of my life. From the moment I entered the Children's home for the first time I was in love. The children are thousands of miles away from home and have every reason in the world to be frightened and yet they are warm and welcoming. Minutes after I arrived there were games and hugs and laughs galore. Days went by and then weeks and I felt like I couldn't get enough of these children. I started off volunteering twice a week and realized very soon that I was getting more from them than they were from me. I had to be here more, those two days weren't enough. Even now being here four or five days a week seems like no time at all. The strength and perseverance of these children is astonishing. I had never felt such a fierce passion for a cause that I had been introduced to so abruptly. With other things going on around me, I noticed that I had renewed sense of gratitude in all aspects of my life. There is no greater feeling than to wake up in the morning and love how you are investing your time and effort. I didn't just want to become more involved, I needed to. With the help of the wonderful staff, I was able to find an internship opportunity where I could help behind the scenes and contribute my efforts so that the opportunity for a long, healthy life would be a reality for more children.
I'll never forget the day that I had the opportunity to go with another volunteer and take two nurses from Zanzibar and Tanzania to Jerusalem. They told us that it was an experience that they believed would always be out of their reach. There were so many things in the beautiful city that they had never seen before. I had never seen two people so excited to be in an elevator. We walked around in the old city and visited Al Asq; as religious muslim woman it was an extremely emotional experience to be visiting to such a holy site. I was witnessing a life changing moment for them and I couldn't have been spending my time with two people who were more grateful. These women were away from their families, in a foreign country, caring for other people's children and yet they were elated. That day they bestowed upon me the great gift of tolerance. I have always considered myself an open-minded person but I was able to further indulge in the beautiful aspects of Islamic traditions from a respectful distance. I am certain that they will never forget their spiritual experience in Jerusalem and neither will I.
Before SACH, I don't think I truly understood how much a hug and a nice word could mean to another person. In a scary place full of unknowns, a familiar face is the greatest of all things, it surmounts any language barrier or difference in skin color, nationality, religion. Anything. A smile and a hug trumps all.
In particular there is one child that has touched my heart forever. Her name is Kadija, she is a beautiful 6-year old girl from Angola. I have never felt such a strong connection with a child as I do with her. This gorgeous girl has a glow about her; she has such passion and such a fiery spirit. Not only is she beautiful but she is perceptive and thoughtful. Before her surgery she was so expressive in her desire to be healthy. She was always letting me know when she would be going to the hospital, touching her chest and giving me a big smile and a thumbs up. If you don't find her learning a new language by mimicking everyone around her, she will most definitely be with the smaller children. Ever the facilitator, she will be starting games, comforting the crying toddlers. While I always had a special place for her, one afternoon I was getting ready to leave and she ran up to me, pulled me close to her and whispered, "thank you." Only when I believe that I couldn't love the children anymore, they remind me why I invest so much time in SACH.
The children are leaving Israel with a healthy heart and I also feel like I leave here every day with a heart that is just a little stronger. My capacity to appreciate, love and empathize has grown infinite amounts. I can attribute this growth all to the beautiful children of Save a Child's Heart.
After working with SACH for about 4 months, I have realized that I now want to look into a masters program that focuses on International Public Health. This organization has truly changed my life forever. This organization is not only organized, but all of the staff work together as team and all actions and initiatives are transparent through the hardworking members of the SACH team.
There is no organization that has had a greater impact on my life as a future physician than Save a Childs Heart. We exist in a world where we strive for peace and understanding both in the middle east and around the world. At SACH children from all around the world, including many enemy states of Israel, are given world class cardiac care free of cost. Far greater than the life that is saved is the seed of compassion and love that is planted in the midst of chaos and hate. Jewish tradition teaches that to save one life is to save the world, there is nowhere where this is embodied more than Save a Childs Heart.
I've worked for Save a Child's Heart for almost two years. This is an amazing organization that works non-stop to save the lives of children in need. Working in the Israeli office allowed me to meet the children that have come for treatment. It is amazing to see them arrive sick and tired, and leave laughing and jumping around. As a worker, I also had the opportunity to travel to Zanzibar with the doctors on a Medical Mission and see first hand the amazing work SACH does, not only in saving lives of children but also in training doctors from developing countries, so they can continue the work back home.
This is an organization that literally saves lives every week. Children arrive who are sick and for somehow unentitled to the miraculous gifts of childhood, but by the time they leave they are able to run, play, tease, and enjoy life. This is not only because of the medical care they receive here, but also because of the nurturing care and love they are given by the many volunteers before, during, and after their surgical treatments. People come together here, and children leave healed and happy. It happens every week, and every week I become more and more inspired by the Save A Child's Heart Cause.
I have been involved at Save a Child's Heart for years now, as an employee turned biggest fan and advocate. I admire the organizations approach to leaving politics, race and boarders behind and treating each child with the love and care they deserve. They have changed the lives of so many - providing a second chance at life and a chance for a better future for entire communities.
From the second I learned about Save A Child's Heart (SACH) I knew I had found something that truly mattered to me. Since that time my love for the work done at SACH has only grown. SACH is an organization which brings children from developing countries all over the world to Israel for life saving, and FREE open heart surgery. Children from all over the world are saved by the tireless work done by the doctors who perform these operations with no monetary gain for themselves. The feeling of home and family seeps into every aspect of this organization. I feel truly blessed that it has become such an important aspect of my every day life.
I donate and volunteer for Save a Child's Heart because the organization constantly inspires me. Their mission is simple, they are transparent with their spending, and so many people volunteer their time to save children. I couldn't write enough good things about this organization.
Beyond saving children with little to no access to any healthcare, Save a Child's Heart is laying the foundation for saving thousands of lives in the decades to come. I cannot think of an organization with a more defined mission than Save a Child's Heart.
On one of my recent visits to Save a Child's Heart, I met Sara, a 5 year-old girl from El Salvador who suffered from congenial heart disease and had traveled half-way around the world to undergo surgery in Israel. She was there with her mother, but neither spoke English, and since I spoke Spanish I was one of the only people they were able to communicate with. I listed as Sarah's mom told the story of how Sarah struggled to run and play with the other kids in their small town, and how it was only when a doctor visiting for the weekly clinic happened to be a cardiologist and understand that Sarah needed heart surgery that she was brought to the capital, San Salvador, and from there able to go to Israel for the surgery she needed to save her life. I spent days playing with Sarah as she recovered from the surgery, and speaking her mom about their life back home and their experience in Israel. When Sarah's mom told me that she was so happy to see her daughter smiling and laughing and simply playing with the other kids, it melted my heart. I support SACH because it is totally dedicated to the idea that every child deserves the best medical treatment available, regardless of nationality, religion, color, gender or financial situation. SACH does amazing things around the world - training doctors and nurses from developing countries in Israel and leading medical missions to partnering countries to improve the local expertise and build centers of competence. By mending the hearts of children, regardless of their origin, SACH is contributing to a better and more peaceful future for all
When one thinks of the Middle East the first image coming to mind is probably not a place where miracles happens on a daily base, where Israeli and Palestinian doctors work hand in hand to save children suffering from heart diseases.
Recently I discovered Save a Child Heart, this unique place where I heard the laugh of children from Gaza with an Israeli hospital clown, where the Palestinian veiled mother of a child recovering from the surgery has a warm conversation in Arabic with the Israeli doctor, where a child from Angola who arrived two days before between life and death is now in the arms of his mother, healthy.
A microcosm where politics and conflict seems so far that it is forgotten.
SACH is Israel's number one humanitarian organization, bringing children from all over the developing world to cure them of life-threatening congenial heart conditions, completely free of charge. SACH also serves their immediate community, offering screening service and medical care for the children of the Palestinian Territories. Seeking to fulfill their mission of Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world, SACH has repaired the hearts of over 3,000 children and will continue to do so with the help and support of people all across the world who believe in this amazing cause! The power of SACH to inspire others and save lives has made it one of the most important medical NGOs in the world today and has played an integral role in fostering peace and hope in a region stricken by war and hopelessness. Baruch Hashem for the doctors at SACH!

Everybody has been asking me this…
"Jubril, How do you make your money?"
So let me break it down for you…
…one of the main ways that I earn money is through Facebook Ads.
Most of us just use Facebook for checking out what our friends and family are doing, or following people or companies that interest us. Most people have no idea at all about marketing online with Facebook ads.
Beautiful thing about Facebook starting out is you could start with a $10 a day budget and see real results. Facebook is one of the best data GOLDMINES of all time. (stick with me here… I'll prove it)
The Facebook platform is what as known as a "PPC" or also commonly known as a CPM model. All PPC means is Pay-Per-Click and CPM simply means Cost-Per-Impression. I will share more on this later.
Before you start any advertising campaign you will need to know:
1. What is your objective with ad
2. Who do want to see your ad
3. What is your budget & length of time you want to run campaign.
4 .How to take people off Facebook and get them take the action to you desire.
Now let me explain really quickly how Facebook works in detail for you.:
Everything you do on Facebook is used is used to help advertisers. WHY? Because they keep the lights on for Facebook and shareholders happy. BUT on the flipside, they want user to have best experience and keep them on Facebook as long possible because that equals more profit.
I am going to use my own specific ad to illustrate how money flows. This type of ad is Image Post Engagement
Here's your checklist:
1. My objective
– Get new audience to opt-in to email list
– Have audience be inspired and love my content and share my ad
– Have them understand it is possible to travel and start business online with this information.
The Ultimate objective is to sell a particular product to assist people live the life they have dreamed by turning their passion and skills into profits.
2. Who do you want to see your ad.
"You do this part wrong and whole campaign is done for"
When you Like something on Facebook for example Adidas, your favorite author, etc. Or you update your status with "OMG Jubril just proposed to me at dinner…" (…LOL) then you proceed to tag the Four Seasons Hotel as the location…
…or you put the university you attended and year you graduated or "DAMN this episode of game of thrones right now is insane". "Just listening to this new Jack Johnson album on the way work this morning need starbucks to get thru this day"
You are telling Facebook the type of person you are…
…and Facebook gives all this information to advertisers.
To this date Facebook has over 200+ Data Points that they use to classify a Facebook user and decide which ads they will see. One data point alone is all of the websites that you visit when you are logged into Facebook. Yep, that's for real. ALL OF THEM…
…and that is only ONE of the 200+ data points they use. They know so much about each person it might actually scare you.
So now if I am trying to be a wedding photographer who lives in Chicago. I want to target engaged women specifically (which u told Fb) and got a lot of likes though right? I know you are a woman because you selected that when you signed up.
Now if I only want to photograph college educated women that's easy because you put what college you graduated from.
Or maybe I have luxury hotel in Caribbean and you have not decided on honeymoon destination yet. I know you have honeymoon coming up and you like luxury places because you checked into four seasons announcing engagement on Facebook.
Or if I want sell a custom iphone case with their favorite musician, etc on it I know they have iphone because you update status from phone know type of phone you like and also type of musicians you like etc.
There is no shortage I could go on and on…
I know that was a lot to digest and the rabbit hole goes so much deeper and in depth. Just wanted to give you a general understanding.
So for my product if I wanted to acquire new customers I could do one of 3 options:
Option 1: I could target men and women 18-65 and who seen the movie Hangover 2 and live in the USA.
Option 2: I can target Men 18-65 Who: Like travel channel and live in the united states
Option 3: I could target a male, 18-40 who has read 4 hour work week (book about working while traveling) who live in the USA.
Option 1 might have audience of 10 million people.
Option 2 might have audience of 2 million people.
Option 3. Might have audience of 100,000 people.
Option 1 might have biggest audience and they know Thailand and might think it cool. That is not enough to know they will be interested in starting a business online. Some might just like actors in the film, so many variables.
Option 2. I know they like travel channel and they are males so a lot more targeted. Maybe they just like to look at travel or maybe they just want one vacation a year. Much more targeted but so many variables.
Option 3. I know they are males, 18-40 and have read 4 hour work week. That book is all about traveling and making money while you travel. I know the audience is in alignment with what I am offering to market place.
Why is important to target correctly?
In a nutshell you get much cheaper clicks and sales are much easier.
For example:
Option 1. Out of 100 people maybe 1 will click my ad
Option 2. Maybe 3 out of 100.
Option 3. Maybe 12 out of 100.
For Facebook less people they have to show your ad to get a click the better.
This is a REAL example here:
Option 1 would pay: $.89 a click
Option 2: $.35 a click
Option 3: $.05 a click
Someone paying 5 cents vs 89 cents can't compete. I see this happening everyday. Funny thing is 5 cent clicks are highest quality because they most targeted. With $20 budget a day you do the math.
I will lay out exact examples in an upcoming webinar I will be doing.
You can apply this to anything I don't care if you selling T-shirts, suitcases, your digital guide.
MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO KNOW YOUR NUMBERS. You can only get that by testing and testing then you can scale up from there. Let me show you some campaign numbers below:
Here's an actual 2 week FB PPC campaign:
We generated 2188 highly targeted Leads
Each lead cost $1.87 (We spent a total of $4091 on leads )
We generated $38,111 in sales
Our operating costs included Video hosting and webinar lines and websites etc $1000 roughly
I know with this campaign during two weeks each lead is worth
$17.4 to me before costs and…
….$15.09 to me after costs.
So keeping numbers simple. If I generate leads for $2 then I know I am getting $13 back for each lead.
It's like your own personal ATM machine. You simply put in $2 and every time you do that… you get $13 back.
From this point its simple math… rinse and repeat.
I do this for many different campaigns and different industries. All you have to know is your numbers. Of course you need to know how to set up the campaigns effectively as well.
So here's my question for you…
Would you like to see what $284,589.94 in Facebook Ads spend in 14 months looks like and the results that it has gotten us?
Then click here to watch a special webinar replay I just did where we pulled back the curtain and exposed what happened.
Also you can see just one year those prices have increased by 300% as a whole, still cheap but not dirt cheap. You have about 2-3 year window to really clean up. Within 3 years I can I see prices going up 1200%. It happened with google and all signs are pointing the same with FB.
This is JUST 1 of the MANY THINGS I WILL SHOW YOU IN MY FREE WEBINAR REPLAY THAT YOU CAN WATCH BY CLICKING THE LINK BELOW
Feel free in the comments to ask anything.
So excited to help you reach your online business dreams.
"Mr. Think Outside the Box"

A new paper published in The Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases has looked at Chondroitin in isolation and the effect it has on the progression of osteoarthritis.
What makes this study different is the outcome measures used to examine the effect of Chondroitin. Previous studies have used subjective measures (such as reported pain and ability to sleep) with objective functional measurements (such as timed walking tests, ability to climb stairs).
As the object of this paper was not to see if the supplement decreased pain or improved activity but if it changed the disease process, MRI scans were used to "keep score".
The scan measured changes in cartilage volume, lesions in the subchondral bone (an important predictor of severity) and synovitis as well as noting any reported changes in symptoms.
The study was randomized, double blinded and placebo controlled and the total number of patients was 69.
The treatment dose was 800mg of Chondroitin once a day.
The results showed that the treatment group:
- Had less cartilage loss at both 6 and 12 months
- Had less subchondral bone marrow lesions at 12 months
- Had no difference in reported symptoms
It can be difficult to find Chondroitin supplements on their own. I was unable to find any 800mg (or 400mg) Chondroitin but was able to find 600mg here. I am personally going to give this a go for at least 12 months. I am particularly impressed by the changes in the bone marrow lesions and although I do not currently have any myself, I consider anything that may prevent them of high importance.
It is much easier to find Chondroitin combined with Glucosamine, I was able to find this product (3 caps = 1500mg Glucosamine / 750mg Chondroitin) with one years supply only costing $50.
This works out significantly cheaper than getting Chondroitin on its own (as there is much more competition in this market). Having said that, I am a follower of the evidence and will stick with the Chondroitin until a study comes along to show the benefits of the combination are better than the single supplement. The evidence to date on Glucosamine has been borderline and although it is a safe supplement I am unaware of a study such as the one mentioned above that shows a strong positive effect from its use.
This study produced some exciting results and it should inspire a lot of follow up research. It is enough for me to go from taking nothing more than fish oil to giving Chondroitin a one year trial.

Concert Picture
I've been to a lot of concerts before this one so it's nothing new to me, but I can tell it's going to be my favorite one yet. I'm seeing my favorite band, Neck Deep, for the first time. I've been listening to this band for years but I've never had the chance to see them live. I love most of their songs and I really connect to their lyrics. During the concert, me and my friend ended up being second row which was cool and I was happy about that. The crowd was great, they were all helping each other and nothing went wrong the entire show. My favorite part about any concert I go to is always seeing an entire roomful of people all having a good time. We're all sharing the same yet different experience at the same time. Sometimes there are fans crying when a certain song comes on. I don't know why they're crying, maybe it's because they love that song or that song makes them sad or that song is just special to them and they feel overwhelmed. I just always thought it was amazing how people can be so connected to a band and their music and that they have the opportunity to experience their favorite songs live.

Oh, so Bloomberg's OpEd columnists are finally willing to talk about something real with other than a "gimme more handouts" line?
The conversation in Washington is shifting from taxes to entitlement spending and, in particular, how to slow the unsustainable growth of Social Security and Medicare.
Central to that discussion should be an overhaul of Social Security Disability Insurance, a vital safety-net program for millions of disabled workers. It has gotten too big and too costly. Worse, it has shifted the incentive for those with physical impairments to choose government dependency over work. Oh, and it will be insolvent in three years if nothing is done.
Notice how they're dancing around this — the definition of "disabled" no longer really means disabled, as in "unable to perform any sort of renumerative work."
The program blew $124 billion last year, with more than 10 million "beneficiaries."
Now I don't doubt for a minute that some people who receive benefits actually are disabled. However, many people — and I'm willing to bet that this is the majority of recipients — could perform some sort of market-based work (that is, something that earns at least minimum wage.)
The problem with any combination of "benefit programs" that provide more, on a tax-adjusted basis, than a minimum wage job is that there is some percentage of the population who would prefer to sit on their ass rather than work for that minimum wage. As soon as you make it possible to do that all of the persons who are willing to do so immediately leave the workforce and choose to do exactly that.
A "minimum wage" in and of itself sets a floor below which labor is unable to be deployed. It is a non-market function that states as a matter of law that if the work you can perform provides less benefit to an employer than $X/hour that work has no value in the marketplace at all, because it is (by fiat) illegal to pay less than that amount of money for labor.
This by definition means that those who are able to contribute something to the economy instead contribute nothing. That's bad enough.
But what's worse is when you then put together a "social welfare" program that provides more than said "minimum wage" in tax-adjusted income. As soon as you do that those people who can work for a wage all the way up to to the parity level between those benefit programs and the private-sector parity wage have every reason to sit on their ass instead.
There is no means available to prevent this other than reducing benefit programs and prohibiting "stacking" of benefits such that any of these alleged "social benefit" programs never exceed the mandatory minimum wage in tax-adjusted terms. You can try to allegedly "test" for the so-called "disability" but there are myriad people who will scam the system if they're able and it's profitable to do so, and there will always be some who can.
The only way to stop this is to make it unprofitable.
But that's "mean", you see, which makes "inappropriate" a public debate about exactly where that parity level is (hint: It's about $45,000/year for a single person with dependents!), as that would likely lead to a taxpayer revolt and demand that these practices be ended.

Perhaps the one blessing in an otherwise frustrating recovery from the stroke he suffered two years ago this month is that Tex Winter can still watch the game he loves. And still dissect it.
He can't talk about it much. Nor can he write down what he is thinking. "But you give him a piece of paper and tell him to draw out what they're doing in the game on TV, and he'll diagram the play," said Winter's son, Brian.
The arcs and lines, X's and O's, form a sort of basketball poetry that the 89-year-old created and immersed himself in throughout a storied coaching career, earning him a well-deserved, if tardy, induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this summer.
In his typical unassuming way, Winter, who served on the Bulls coaching staff under Phil Jackson that won six NBA titles, reacted to the official news Monday that he was being inducted into the Hall of Fame with a "Yep, that's me."
"It's not like it was a big relief for him," Brian Winter said. "He has never been the kind of person to put an emphasis on awards and accolades. It was always about just doing his job. He was a workaholic coach and he put all of his energy into that. So it was just something that came along."
Considering the six decades in which he dedicated his life to basketball, Winter's 14 years with the Bulls -- his second foray in the NBA after coaching the Houston Rockets in the 1970s -- could have been considered a mere blip if not for the fact that his triple-post offense, nicknamed "the Triangle," was instrumental during the Bulls' dynasty.
"I don't see us winning many championships without that offense because it was so complicated for our opponents," former Bulls forward Horace Grant said. "You had so many options to score, you could shut 50 down and still have 50 more."
Of course the primary option was always Michael Jordan, and while it may have been somewhat overstated that he completely bought into Winter's system -- Jordan was still the best bailout in the business -- it was also not entirely appreciated that Winter appreciated that as well.
"I think he saw it when the result was good, and I think he even came to accept the importance of having players improvise and go one-on-one because the defense doesn't have time to adjust to that," Brian Winter said.
In fact, at the very heart of his offense was improvisation. And where Winter's genius lay, said his fellow Bulls assistant Johnny Bach, was instilling in every player the knowledge to operate from any place on the floor.
"It's historic for coaches in the NBA to stand up and yell '45 Down' or '23 Up,' but Tex didn't believe in that at all," Bach said. "He believed a team had its destiny in its own hands and had to recognize this system of movement he called a series of actions, not verbal cues that he thought would give opponents a huge advantage."
While former players fondly recall -- and certainly every Bulls fan in the '90s can remember -- the sight of Winter perched at Jackson's left ear, urging him to have the team run the offense properly and particularly to instruct Jordan that it's not a one-man game, Winter was a gentle soul.
"He is a very nice man and he had a way of trying to sell it," Bach said.
Also to share it.
No coach ran more clinics, both in the U.S. and abroad, generously sharing his knowledge with young coaches from Bobby Knight to Dale Brown to Tom Thibodeau to scores of coaches who would never go on to high-profile careers.
"He was stopped by every high school coach in every hotel lobby and scribbled notes on napkins for hours," Bach said of Winter's cult-like following. "That's him. He didn't feel he had any secrets. He wanted to talk about it."
And yet his past was still something of a secret to the millionaires he would coach later in life, many of whom never knew he was this country's top pole vaulter (using a bamboo pole) in the late '40s, sure to compete in the Olympics before an injury dashed that hope. Or that he was a Navy pilot in World War II. That he played basketball at USC against baseball's Jackie Robinson. Or that his Kansas State teams won eight conference championships and played in two Final Fours in his 15 years there. That he once coached Shaq.
Bulls players, who cultivated a humorous but sharply acerbic climate, laughed as Winter packed sandwiches from the team plane to take home or mailed in sweepstakes entries. But there was also a deep respect that was undeniable.
"Johnny Bach was my father figure and I guess you could say Tex was my grandfather figure," Grant said. "I used to tease Tex all the time. I'd say, 'I know you have money buried in the backyard,' but that's what I loved about him. What you saw is what you got. There was no fakeness, no Armani suits, no slicked-back hair. That stuff was not in the same universe as Tex."
He urged Grant to "Be you," both on the court and off, simple yet solid advice for a player who had yet to emerge from the shadows cast by Jordan and Scottie Pippen. And while demanding, Winter exuded great patience with those who listened and who appreciated fundamental basketball.
"At the time, I remember, we sometimes referred to him as a grumpy old man," said Will Perdue, "but he just had such high expectations. It was like, 'Hey, if you just listen to me and allow me to share my knowledge with you, you'll really get better.' And he was right.
"In [the NBA's] inner circles, people would say, 'Wow, you guys have Tex Winter and Johnny Bach on your staff.' They knew all about how good they were. But I don't think they ever really got the credit they deserved."
After Winter rehabbed in a retirement facility near his home in Oregon, he and his wife Nancy moved in with their youngest son, Brian, and his wife in Manhattan, Kansas -- Tex also has sons Russ and Chris -- near the campus of Kansas State last summer.
It is there where Winter, celebrating his 1958-59 K-State team's reunion, suffered the stroke. It is where Johnny Bach's weekly letters sit in a neat pile next to him; where Chris first got him to diagram a play and where Brian took him the two-minute drive to about eight K-State basketball games this season; where fans formed a receiving line of well-wishes each time they saw him.
"When he's in his element, he really perks up," Brian said. "I think it's too loud but it never seems to bother him and his hearing is good. People know him there and he smiles and says 'Hello,' and pats them on the back."
And then he watches the games. "And he'll still get that look and grumble when they're not doing well," Brian laughs. "He still understands the game. He watches games every day on the NBA channel, all the Lakers games, and he still has a love for it.
"It's probably the one thing he still enjoys doing and can do."

Victoria's best snake control
Unfortunately, Australia is home to 11 out of 14 of the world's most dangerous snakes, and our population experiences around 3,000 snake bites every year. Brown Snakes, Tiger Snakes, Taipan Snakes, and Death Adders are the main culprits for killing humans.
Most snakes are actually as frightened as you, which is why some move away quickly and retreat. But even though they cause no property damage, they are a scary sight for many people. As snake control specialists, we remove all snakes from homes across Victoria and the Riverina region.
People tend to get bitten by snakes when they try to handle or kill them. If you see a snake, just walk away and call in Statewide Pest Control. We have the skills and tools required to ensure all snakes are removed quickly and safely.

Alamance Memorial Hospital
Alamance Memorial Hospital was one of two major hospitals in Alamance County in the 1980s. The other major hospital was Alamance County Hospital. In the 1980s these two hospitals were the main sources of care to people in need. In 1986, the two hospitals joined together and today have formed the Alamance Regional Medical Center, a vast array of hospitals, doctors' offices, surgery centers, and other care facilities.
Alamance Regional Medical Center is the home to more than 200 physicians and hospital workers. The hospital has over 200 hospital beds and 15 operating rooms, and uses state-of-the-art technology to provide the best care possible to its patients.

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but the Phoenix in Arcadia has got to be one of my favorite chinese restaurants ever. I was curious though, how do they cook their rice? I noticed that their white rice has a taste to it. I don't know how to describe it, but it's definetly one of my favorite things about the restaurant. I'm aware that there are different types of grains but I think there's more to it. Their white rice has some kind of flavoring. What's their secret?
I also noticed that for some dishes they don't serve this "special" rice. It's guaranteed to come with the "Phoenix Boneless Chicken and Rice" dish, but getting the flavored rice with other plates is based purely on chance. Does anyone why? Or is it something you have to request.?

Okay, I decided to do NaNoWriMo after all. I've pretty much done it before but I've never been officially enrolled until now. So, I signed up on the site and am entering my word counts. I've also entered information about my past projects but I haven't done much else with it.
The main thing coming up tomorrow is the Local Writers and You event at the Viridian Event Center in West Jordan. I'll have a table there, along with dozens of other local Utah authors, and will be doing my presentation on 'A Serious Look at Comedy' at 1. The event actually starts at 12 since they added some more classes. It ends at 5. But it should be a fun event and give people a chance to talk to authors and learn from them. Of course, I would love to sell lots of books but I'm mainly going for a chance to interact with others and help anyone who is looking for advice on the writing craft. So, please, search me out and ask you questions on writing. I'll either give you a wise answer or make something up on the spot.
Also this week, I've added the first part of Princess and the Privy along with the audio. It officially is up today, though it's been up for the last week as I was testing things out to see if they would work. I'll put the next part up next Friday. Ish.
As far as NaNo, so far so good. I've got over 11,000 words on Jaysan and the Jazz Monkeys. Since I have a rough outline, I haven't had too many snags as of yet. The nice thing about the outline is it is allowing my mind to improve upon the storyline as I go. Still, my tendency to be a pantser has added some things that I hadn't planned on, like an emotional break down scene for when Jaysan has to deal with the death of his father. And this is supposed to be a comedy, too. I don't know if that scene will survive the edits, but it did add some interesting elements to the story that I hadn't thought of.
So for those of you doing NaNoWriMo, good luck.
