The California-based company behind a pioneering experiment at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta – studying whether human embryonic stem cells can be used to repair spinal injuries — announced Monday it would halt the research and focus on developing two cancer drugs.
Geron was the first company ever permitted to conduct embryonic stem cell tests on humans. From McClatchy-Tribune News Service:
Although the company has sufficient finances to cover its cancer-drug costs over the next 20 months without having to raise more money, it noted in a news release, "this would not be possible if we continue to fund the stem cell programs at the current levels."
…Besides the spinal research, Geron had been studying human embryonic stem cells as possible treatments for such ailments as diabetes, heart disease and cartilage repair. The company said it would attempt to seek "partners" to continue the research and "will retain a core group of employees from its stem cell operations" through the first half of next year to "facilitate transfer of these programs" to someone else.
The experiment at the Shepherd Center involved 21-year-old nursing student Timothy Atchison, who was paralyzed from the chest down after a car crash.
Gloria Cain, wife of GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, was interviewed by Fox News' Greta Van Susteren last night. See all the clips here. The primary topic was sexual harassment, but some good biographic information is included as well. The Cains' first date was a Charlton Heston movie at Lenox Square.
This was how the Gloria Cain interview ended:
VAN SUSTEREN: After the first woman — but after the second woman, rather, when the more graphic descriptions came out — did you confront him about that one and say, what's up with that, or not?
G. CAIN: No.
VAN SUSTEREN: Did he say anything to you?
G. CAIN: No. I heard his comments with his news conference.
VAN SUSTEREN: You didn't ask him — you didn't, the two of you when you were together you didn't ask him?
G. CAIN: No, because I listened to what she said. And I'm thinking, no, I'm sorry. That's — some of the things that you're saying about him, that's not Herman. So, no, I didn't ask him about that. And I'm not being naive.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood should be on the ground now in Savannah, in the midst of a tour of the Port of Savannah with Gov. Nathan Deal and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed. Both Georgians obviously will be pressing LaHood for several hundred million dollars for dredging the port – to allow it to take in larger cargo ships.
One topic unlikely to come up is U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss' Monday declaration that Georgia might be willing to dicker about the federal government's share in the project. From the Savannah Morning News:
U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss wants a second look at a formula calling for the federal government to pay 60 percent of Savannah harbor deepening costs.
"I think it's incumbent … on the federal government to pay its fair share," Chambliss told reporters Monday. "Now what is that … ? There might be a re-evaluation based on the financial climate we're in."
…A decade-old law calls for a 60 percent federal share of the estimated $625 million tab — or $372 million — and for the state to pay the rest, $253 million.
Jekyll Island Authority Chairman Bob Krueger doesn't think much of the recent Georgia Lottery Corporation study of the money that might be generated from a casino on his island. From the Florida Times-Union:
"You've all seen the news about the Georgia Lottery Commission's recommendation to have casino gambling on Jekyll Island," Krueger said. "Well, the authority stands firm that there won't be an increase in gambling beyond what currently exists — lottery tickets and maybe a few side bets on golf games."
From an interview with convicted Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff by The Hill newspaper in D.C.:
Q: Do you continue to have relationships with Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Bob Ney, Tom DeLay, Mike Scanlon or any of the other people you worked closely with in the past?
Abramoff: Well, of that list, I've talked to Tom DeLay, and Scanlon's in prison, so I can't have any contact with him.
Bob Ney sent me a note on Facebook.
I haven't had any contact with Grover, and Ralph Reed, I haven't had any contact with.
The AJC's Politifact Georgia today takes a look at this Sept. 15 statement from U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Marietta:
"With an extra 8 million Americans projected to join state Medicaid programs in the next few years, state governments need the flexibility to make cost-saving reforms to Medicaid in order to balance their budgets."

Gloria Cain is the classiest woman alive. While I love Speaker Gingrich and think that he would be a fine president, I still pray for Herman Cain….. With that fact clearly laid out here on this lefty blog, I am thrilled that this stem cell thing will thankfully die in the South. WE THE PEOPLE in the South know that we serve the Lord and we ought to not to disrespect the Lord by trying to play God. Playing around with stem cells, cloning and eggs is wrong, anti-biblical and anti-American.

Since td is too lazy to read, here's what the president/CFO of Geron said: "Although no problems have turned up so far in the stem cell study, Geron's cancer-drug studies are further along, making them a better bet for the company to pursue"
It's about the bottom line, not medicine. Duh. td will no doubt be happy those blastocysts will be thrown into the trash instead of producing stem cells. The dignity of human life and all that.

November 15th, 2011
10:09 am
The burn rate on the money was more than Geron could sustain. They are looking for a partner to take it over. That will be tough. The truth is money will be a factor in embryonic stem cells, adult bone marrow stem cells or even cord blood cells. The "first in human" trials are very expensive. This trial ends early with zero ill affects at this point in the study and the patients already will continue to be followed.

You know, growing up in America in the fifties and sixties, it became a cliche to say that all the politicians were crooks. My aunts and uncles wouldn't need much more than a couple of blasts at parties to become entrenched in the bitter rhetoric of the disenfranchised electorate who comprise 99% of all the democrats, (apparently).
But to listen2abramoff, who served so little time in prison, and who emerged intact with all his millions, and of whom it can be said, "he earned a million dollars per mess hall riot, the dirty rat" is an uniquely American self-fulfilling prophesy tale.
We not only encourage criminals, we pay them. That's because Capitalism simply doesn't work without pirates, war, or Japanese schoolgirl lesbian porn. And that's just a natural borne fact, jack.

The stated outcome of the test by Geron as reported in the original AJC article was NOT whether or not the treatment would heal Timothy, RATHER it was whether or not he developed CANCER from the treatment they GAVE him. Embryonic stem cells are widely known to cause cancer in the recipients.This is WHY venture capitalists don't invest in embryonic stem cell research, they get the tax payers to fund this type of deadly human experimentation.

"She admitted that she knew about the sexual harassment charges filed against her husband while he served at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, but that once the charges were found to be unreliable, Mrs. Cain claimed, 'From that point on, we had never said anything else about it.'"

No. Phase I trials are ALWAYS about dosing, safety and tolerablity of a treatment, those are the only questions they are designed to answer. Data on effectiveness is considered, and may mean more or less attention and resources from the company but it's not an endpoint.

The lib label is because the libs thought (without any research) that stem cells was a miracle and that we needed to put tons of Federal money into how to use them to find some kind of cure. GWB said lets do some research on what we have and see how it pans out.
It appears that stem cells is not the immediate miracle cure the libs thought it was (not to say that there may not be value down the road) or the private sector would be dumping tons of money in the research and not slowing down the research. GWB did not go overboard and waste the taxpayers money and instead let the private sector find the value.

EVERYONE should support stem cell research. Did anyone else see this?
Recent research is providing early evidence that adult and embryonic stem cells may be able to replace damaged heart muscle cells and establish new blood vessels to supply them. Discussed here are some of the recent discoveries that feature stem cell replacement and muscle regeneration strategies for repairing the damaged heart.

Umm, dude, the two cancer drugs they are pursuing are further along than the spinal injury therapy they were developing — which only had 4 people in a very limited trial — so they are conserving cash, because smaller pharma firms never have enough cash unless they get a therapy to the finish line sooner rather than later.
In this oncology program, besides the main drug Imetelstat Sodium, which is a telomerase inhibitor, is GRN1005. GRN1005 is used to pass the BBB (blood brain barrier). The brain has natural defenses to keep out unwanted agents. Unfortunately medicine is an unwanted agent to the body. GRN1005 is in a combo phase 1 and 2 trial. So far encouraging results have been seen. There is a 20% response rate using GRN1005 compared to the 2-6% response rate seen from current drugs on the market targeting brain metastases. Since brain cancer treatment is a huge unmet need, the company hopes it can bring this drug as a fast track after phase 2.
You're better off not starting with a point of view and looking for wrong examples to support it.

Cain's wife is very much like Lot's wife, who turned into a pillar of salt, or became a statue. Cain's wife is that statue to his philandering, the wife who just doesn't accept what's happening, in spite of the tumult around her. He must have beat her mercilessly to get that kind of knee jerk defense of an obvious scoundrel, who even lost his temper with reporters when they asked him 'bout the old in and out.
The OWS phenomena is unsustainable because of the unsanitary conditions. If only there had been a larger park with a running stream, then the disenfranchised poor could have taken over wall street and we'd all be rich.

We disagree a great deal on these blogs but that is an unfair statement. Just because one does not believe in the government approach to problem solving (government spending tons of taxpayer funds on something that might help) does not mean that a person does not want cures for diseases.

You see studies on the news every other day about how this or that will cure cancer, stop diabetes and so on. Some of them pan out eventually to help cure some disease and some of them do not. My whole point is not that Stem Cells will not eventually become one of these cures. My point is that it is not the Federal governments role to pump billions of dollars into these potential cures.
As Newt has said many times, if it was up to the Federal government with polio we would have the worlds best iron lung but would not have a vaccine to prevent the disease.

"I think solar power, wind power and other alternative energies but I think we have proven the money should not come from the federal government to produce such energies."
That is complete hogwash. Our publicly funded universities help create advances all the time. Agriculture, medical, computer technology, the list goes on and on.
It used to be that conservatives understood the partnership between government and business, but modern conservative ideology is set on destroying it. Ronald Reagan would never stand for it. As governor of California Reagan grew the university system that helped create companies that are now the envy of the world.
China is investing in technology and will soon become dominate because conservatives want to destroy government investment.

Tableware in the Presidential Palace was augmented with fine sets in the 1850s, when Baron August Mannerheim made purchases for the Imperial Palace. Some of the neo-Rococo dinner, tea and coffee services on display were acquired by him in Russia in 1856. The dinner service for 50 that he bought carries the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy. The silver, bronze and glass objects are made by English, Russian and Finnish manufacturers, including the Nuutajärvi glass works. The blue-edged official State tableware acquired for the Presidential Palace during independence is adorned with a gold Finnish Lion.

text: So everyone always posts about this joke from Animaniacs but do you want to know what the best part is? This was never intended to be in the actual cartoon. With a show like Animaniacs, you can expect that there was quite a large "feud" with the censors (it's even a running gag throughout the show itself!). According to a podcast by Rob Paulson (voice of Yakko and Pinky) the animators threw this in just to mess with the people who were in charge of censoring the jokes. (They did this a lot!) But a slip-up on the censors' end caused the joke to actually go through!

Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Adam Cianciarulo to Make his Professional Debut At Budds Creek
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Adam Cianciarulo to Make his Professional Debut At Budds Creek
Irvine, Calif. (June 20, 2013)
– After watching from the sidelines for the first four rounds, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Adam Cianciarulo will make his Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship debut. Cianciarulo had planned to compete in the entire championship until an ill-timed bout of salmonella poisoning struck the amateur champion leading up to Hangtown. After a month of recovery, Cianciarulo is ready to compete against the world's best in the 250 class at the Budds Creek National in Mechanicsville, Md.
"It was the worst possible time to get sick," laughed Cianciarulo. "It took a lot out of me, but sitting out the first four rounds has allowed me to get back to 100-percent and I think I'm coming into Budds Creek even more prepared than I was for Hangtown."
The Port Orange, Fla., native joins his stable mates Blake Baggett, Tyla Rattray, Martin Davalos, Darryn Durham, and Justin Hill who have all had a strong start to the Nationals. Defending 250 champion Baggett sits fourth overall in the 250 class championship and Rattray achieved his first 450 class podium finish at Round 4 in High Point.
"We wanted to make sure Adam was in top condition before lining up," said Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Mitch Payton. "He has the advantage of having experienced teammates in Tyla and Blake to help him along the way and we expect him to be battling up front."
Round 5 of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship will take place Saturday, June 22nd at Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Md.

"Like a high production value episode of Law & Order, except these utterly charmless detectives can't resolve ONE case in an ENTIRE season. I don't think I have the patience for another thirteen episodes of this plodding thing, where even the most "shocking" twists can barely hold interest. It might work if there were a single character worth investing in, but alas. High on drama yet low on entertainment."
"Convincing Forrest that EH totally works as a prequel to the Warhammer 40K universe: "Why would you design a ship like that?!" Why wouldn't you want your state-of-the-art spacecraft to be a gorgeous, non-Euclidean art deco death trap?"
"This movie can't seem to decide if it's trying to be funny, or tense and unsettling, or a commentary on revenge, and as such it succeeds at none of these things. Strange enough to not be completely uninteresting, but mediocre on the whole."
"A modern classic. It's not just the unrelenting claustrophobic terror, which is executed perfectly, but the realistic relationships between this all-female group that make it so outstanding. Accept no substitute for the haunting and poetic uncut ending."
"I'm not sure what's more surprising, how much I actually care about these characters or how downright frightening their plight is. Well-crafted, suspenseful, and original, made all the more impressive by the minimalist daylight setting."
"I knew Roger's facade of caring about Liz was just that. She's barely out of his sight before he's actively railing against measures that could help her get better and ranting about how her policies are stupid and her illness is her own fault."
"I love the fantastic style and setting, and as a whole the film really works. Deserves much commendation for being the first Disney princess movie to actually focus on a realistic mother-daughter relationship. It's been a long time coming."
"More silly and slapstick than grand and moving, but still an adorable and entertaining addition to the Tangled story. Absolutely wonderful to see all the characters again, however briefly."
"Near perfect. Though the Rapunzel story has always been special to me, I was surprised to find myself placing a modern Disney princess movie in my Top 5 for the genre, in the company of beloved childhood favorites like Aladdin."
So well-written and touching, not to mention amusing, every character unique and interesting. Flynn, Punzie, Maximus, they're just top of the line. A beautiful love story. My one complaint: while the CGI is lovely for the format, it would have elevated things even further if they'd gone with the same enchanting hand-drawn style of The Princess and the Frog.
"ELIZABETH!!! I've been trying to be understanding with Laura, but I love Liz too much for this to stand. Great scream from Carolyn though. Even if her reasons are faulty, for once she's directing that viciousness at someone who deserves it."
"Ooh. Josette ghost vision. And a second appearance from my favorite spooky caretaker! Sweet. Maybe you'll become a fine paranormal investigator after all, Frank."

*UPDATE* True South: Jordan Teear Relief Party
Story by Aaron (Tex) Finnin and party photos by Casey Keener:
One month ago Jordan Teear and I were high-fiving in celebration of his first 24-hour Friday 13th super party completion. It was to kick off our long-awaited 4,000 mile summer ride from Los Angles to New York City to meet up with our buddy Oliver Peck. We spent the next 48-hours recovering from messed up sleeping schedules and wrenching the final details on our bikes before heading east. That Sunday the 15th of July the absolute worst wrench was thrown into our adrenaline plan. "We didn't even make it to the freeway," became Jordan's favorite line as he chuckled and told the story of his broken legs and ankles numerous times followed by one of his token light-hearted jokes over the next three weeks… (more…)
Molly Skobba: Brynne Palmer
By Molly Skobba
I have not known Brynne Palmer for a long time, but I feel like I've known her for years already. I attribute that to her sweet and open personality. Her sunny disposition immediately puts you at ease and any intimidation seems to melt away. Brynne has been tattooing for almost eight years. She started out at Tattoo Mania in L.A. and currently works at Gold Rush in Costa Mesa, California… (more…)
Eric Jones: Lindsey Howard Carmichael
So I have this co-worker, his name is Lindsey and he is slightly older than me, has been in the industry a little longer than me and knows more about music than the average music historian. Lindsey Carmichael first tattooed me over a decade ago, while he was sitting in a small, condensed, walk-in friendly shop known as Laguna Tattoo…

Exactly what I am speaking about, you may be wondering, is the hours leading up to Kris and myself going through one of the greatest moments in our lives. Mike Perfetto is a Brooklyn-based tattoo legend…

Fresno Tattoo Convention: On the Road in California
This post will be much like the Fresno convention, short and sweet! The Fresno convention is one of those rare two-day shows that has all the talent and pageantry of a three-day convention, without the Friday blues that many of us are accustomed to. There are very few shows where you don't hear at least one person say, "Friday was slow… I'll kill it on Saturday." So Fresno just cuts out the Friday complaints and gets right to it on Saturday… [Video on expanded page] (more…)

Full Exhibition Listing
Melbourne photographer Rennie Ellis undertook a series of "Naked Chefs" for exhibition at Melbourne 's Hotel Sofitel as a charity fundraiser in 2002. He managed to coax 12 of Melbourne 's noted chefs to disrobe and pose with their favourite kitchen utensils, spices etc. Here is a selection of six of the images. Ellis was a documentary and society photographer for more than 30 years as well as publishing over 17 books that reflected Australian culture, his most famous being the Life's a Beach series. He died suddenly in August 2002 aged 63.
Robert Oatley
Robert Oatley and his family established Rosemount Estate in 1969. Oatley learned the lessons of quality through the 1950s and 1960s when he travelled the world as a coffee trader, offering the richly textured coffees of Papua New Guinea to discerning buyers insistent upon the very finest ingredients with which to enrich their blends. These were valuable lessons that he would take with him into the world of wine. From that first vintage Bob Oatley grew a wine company that, prior to its merger with Southcorp Limited in 2001, became acknowledged as the premier Australian family winery and one of the leading private wineries in the world. Bob Oatley is now a director and Deputy Chairman of Southcorp Limited, Australia 's largest wine producer and exporter.
Mietta O'Donnell (and Alain Chappel) 1987
Mietta O'Donnell (1950-2001) was a much-loved Melbourne restaurateur and doyenne of the arts. Many of O'Donnell's endeavours were undertaken in partnership with her husband, Tony Knox. O'Donnell made her own name, quite literally, with the two incarnations of Mietta's restaurant in Melbourne . The first Mietta's was a simple, but trendy, café in unfashionable North Fitzroy . Then in the mid-1980s Mietta's moved to Alfred Place in the central business district. It featured a formal upstairs dining area and a downstairs lounge that played host to live theatre, stand-up comedy, and readings by some of Australia 's best-known writers. After closing the restaurant in 1995 O'Donnell worked as a food writer and restaurant critic. O'Donnell wrote many books, her final book, Mietta's Italian Family Recipes, was published a year before her untimely death in a car accident.
Mark Olive
Mark Olive is a chef and filmmaker who, through his Black Olive food segment on SBS TV's Message Stick, has expanded our understanding and appreciation of Indigenous foods. Olive was born in Wollongong , but his people come from the Bundjalung nation on the Northern Rivers of NSW. He learnt to cook by watching his mother and aunts, but was also influenced by Wollongong 's large multicultural population and later trained under an Italian chef. After 15 years in this profession, Olive's studies in film and television led him to Message Stick. As 'The Black Olive' he has incorporated his passion for food and film, introducing a national audience to his unique recipes for crocodile, kangaroo, emu and possum meat and the flavours of Australia's Indigenous herbs and berries.
Maurice O'Shea 1951
Maurice O'Shea (1897-1956) is remembered as a key figure in the formation of the modern Australian wine industry. During World War 1 he studied winemaking in France, returning to Australia in 1921 to work on his family's property in NSW's Hunter Valley – the O'Sheas had recently bought the Old Hill Vineyard at Pokolbin, originally planted by the King family in the early 1900s. Maurice O'Shea renamed the vineyard Mount Pleasant , and – in an age when most Australian winemakers pursued the humble goal of producing bases for fortification as sherry or port – forged a reputation as a maker of distinctive and high-quality table wines. Although the O'Shea estate was acquired by the McWilliam family in 1941, O'Shea was retained as the firm's chief winemaker and held the position until his death. Today, the Maurice O'Shea Award – Australia 's most prestigious wine prize – is awarded biennially for outstanding achievement in Australian winemaking.
Anders Ousback 2004
Anders Ousback (1951-2004) was born in Sydney in 1951 and worked with the wine merchant and writer Len Evans before becoming trainee manager at Sydney 's Summit , the revolving restaurant atop the Australia Square building. At age 24 he became maitre d' at Hermann Schneider's Two Faces, where he demonstrated a sharp memory for customers' faces and an unerring knack for recommending the right wine. He then worked in restaurant design, overseeing makeovers of some of Sydney 's premiere eateries – including The Wharf, Bennelong at the Opera House, and the Café at the Art Gallery of NSW. Ousback then embarked on a second career as a potter – he studied at Sydney 's National Arts School , and his ceramics were bought by such institutions as the Powerhouse Museum and the National Gallery. He made a triumphant comeback as a restaurateur in 1999, when he opened a refurbished incarnation of the Summit .
Tim Pak Poy 1998
Tim Pak Poy is a chef and owner of The Wharf in Sydney . Trained as a perfumer, in 1983 Pak Poy followed a passion for food, securing a job with the celebrated Cheong Liew at Adelaide 's Nediz Neddy's. Moving to Sydney, he worked with Anders Ousback, had a stint at Bilson's and then in 1988 became head chef at Claude's before buying the restaurant six years later. Innovative and elegant, within two years Claude's received The Sydney Morning Herald's inaugural Restaurant of the Year Award, and an unmatched score of 19/20. Even among his peers, Pak Poy is singled out as an artist and is legendary for his detailed, almost obsessive care in the preparation of food. Earlier this year he sold Claude's to his second chef of four years, Chui Lee Luk, and is now concentrating on The Wharf at the Rocks.
Martin Palmer 2004
Martin Palmer founded the Martin's Seafoods company in Cooma with a very simple intention of 'selling fish during the morning and skiing the rest of the day'. Recognising the opportunity Cooma presented, situated inland and away from the ocean, Palmer began selling fish and shellfish sourced from the south coast of NSW as well as fish shipped down from Sydney . Selling out of the back of his van, the mainstay of the business was ski-lodges and hotels as well as the general public looking for some seafood. After five years of business in the snowfields, Palmer moved to Sydney where he worked from a small shop located within the Sydney Fish Market. He quickly developed a solid reputation amongst restaurateurs and chefs and today Martin's Seafoods is a leader in the seafood wholesale industry supplying the high-end market segment of Sydney restaurants and hotels.
Omelette (Ian Parmenter) 2001
Ian Parmenter is a celebrity chef and presenter of ABC TVs Consuming Passions. Born in London , Parmenter jokes that he survived nine years of British cooking before his family moved to Brussels , where he began his love of food. He worked in London as a journalist, but moved here to join the ABC in 1973, becoming a television producer and director. In 1991 Parmenter was thrown in front of the camera for the debut of Consuming Passions, and soon became known as the bloke in the kitchen, promoting cooking and Australian food. His five-minute segments ran for 450 episodes and screened in 15 countries. The author of ten cookbooks, he is the driving force behind Adelaide's Tasting Australia, a festival that attracts food and wine lovers and epicurean writers from all over the world.
Nino Pangrazia and Sisto Malaspina 2004
Pellegrini's Bar in Bourke St. Melbourne is an icon. This classic Italian espresso bar, with its laminex, gold backed mirrors and vinyl stools, remains unchanged in decades and still serves one of the best coffees in the city. Their minestrone, pasta, salads, granita and cakes are all hearty and the service, befitting a bar seating only 50, very fast. Running both long sides of the narrow bar, those famous mirrors allow diners to view any and everyone in the room. Established in 1954 by Leo and Vildo Pelligrini, it was among the first in Melbourne to serve cappuccino, and probably the first to introduce pizza. Pelligrini's Bar was purchased in 1974 by Nino Pangrazia and Sisto Malaspina.
Armando Percuoco 2002
Armando Percuoco is the head chef at BuonRicordo restaurant in Paddington, Sydney. Born in Italy into a family of restaurateurs, he has worked in restaurants since the age of 14. He came to Australia in 1972 and joined his father, Mario, at Arriverderci restaurant in east Sydney . For four years he worked as head waiter and day manager at Chianti before he and his father opened PulcinellaRestaurant in Kings Cross in 1979. In 1986 he published his first cookbook, re-published in 1992 as Modern Italian Cooking in Australia, and the following year opened the award winning Buon Ricordo. Percuoco is described as a taste maker amongst the Sydney food scene and is a man of strong convictions. He believes that to understand the logic in putting together a dish you need to understand the culture behind it. "I am sick and tired of finding beautifully presented dishes - then you eat them and you cannot taste anything, I want a bit of guts".
Neil Perry 1997
Neil Perry apprenticed at Sydney 's Sails restaurant before becoming head chef at Barrenjoey Restaurant in Palm Beach . In 1986 he opened his own restaurant, the highly successful Blue Water Grill at Bondi. It was in 1989, in partnership with his cousin Trish Richards, that he opened Rockpool in Sydney 's Rocks area. Within six months Rockpool had been named Sydney 's best new restaurant by the Herald's Good Food Guide. Rockpool currently sits in the Guide's elite Three Hat category, and the British magazine Restaurant ranks it among the 50 best restaurants in the world. In the wake of Rockpool's success Perry added new Sydney restaurants to his empire, including Asian-themed Wockpool. He is a food consultant to Qantas Airways, and appears on several cooking shows. He is also the author of two recipe books, Rockpool and Simply Asian.
Damien Pignolet
Born in Melbourne in 1948, Damien Pignolet's name is synonymous with refined bistro dining in Sydney . Trained in hotel management and catering in Victoria , Damien credits his entrance onto the Sydney restaurant stage to Mogens Bay Esbensen who appointed him executive chef of Pavilion on the Park in November 1978. Exposed to what Pignolet described as "food of the world" and a "menu that changed daily", Pignolet refined his skills as a chef. In 1981, Claude Corne, the foundation owner of Claude's decided to sell and in Pignolet's own words "by the next day we had bought it". With his wife, Josephine, Pignolet set about cooking "extraordinary three-star food" that was "as pure as it could be" and by 1983, Pignolet's Claude's was at the pinnacle of Sydney dining. With his wife's death in December 1987, Pignolet looked for a new direction, establishing Bistro Moncur.
Andrew Pirie 1997
Dr Andrew Pirie AM is generally acknowledged as Australia 's most learned viticulturist, and the first holder of a PhD in that subject. A year in Europe made him a passionate believer in the significance of 'terroir' (climate and soil) to make a premium wine. On his return to Australia and following an extensive viticultural search, he chose The Tamar Valley, Pipers River and Pipers Brook regions in Tasmania to establish a cool-climate vineyard. From the outset, Pirie marketed the Pipers Brook Vineyard and the Ninth Island brands with a distinctive regional identity. Pirie departed Pipers Brook in 2003 to start a new venture, Pirie Tasmania . According to James Halliday he has been the most influential force in establishing the reputation of Tasmanian wine on the world scene.
'Beppi' 2004
Giuseppe Polese, better known as Beppi, with his wife Norma opened the first Italian restaurant in Sydney in 1956 and it is still owned and run by the family. Born north of Venice , Beppi moved to Australia in 1952 and worked vicariously as a waiter both in Sydney and Wagga Wagga. He then decided to borrow money to purchase St James restaurant in East Sydney . There Beppi slowly introduced Italian fare - long-cooked stews, pastas, squid, anchovies and mussels which he took from the wooden piles of the Spit Bridge . He also sold red wine illegally disguised in coffee cups. In 1962, Beppi's was named Sydney 's best Italian restaurant. With son Marc, Beppi's opened Mezzaluna Restaurant in Potts Point in 1992.
John Portelli 2004
John Portelli has 34 years experience in the food business, having worked at Carlton 's Lygon Food Store for 17 years before joining Enoteca Sileno. His hands-on experience and thorough knowledge of Italian food and wine is often sought by food industry professionals. Although Australian born, Portelli has spent much time on his family's home island of Eolie , off Sicily . Portelli has recently opened the specialist Italian enoteca — part café, part food and wine shop, and part wine bar and restaurant. With this enterprise he aims to "to create the right environment for an Italian food and wine culture" in Lygon Street , Carlton .
Colin Preece 1968
In late 1932 Colin Preece (1903-1979) arrived at Great Western during the depression, where his attention was on just keeping the company afloat. He retired 30 years later as one of the key winemakers of Australia . He had graduated dux from Roseworthy Agricultural College in 1923 planning to manage the family flour mill, however, after taking an optional subject in oenology, he decided to join the staff at Seppeltsfield. Later he moved to Victoria and produced a seemingly endless array of dry white, dry red and sparkling wines of exceptional complexity and equally exceptional quality for Great Western. Ranked with Maurice O'Shea as Australia 's great winemaker and master blender, in the production of sparkling wine he had no peer. In 1979 he died and his body lies in the Great Western cemetery in Ararat.
David Pugh 2002
David Pugh's classical training in fine hotels in New Zealand , Australia and the United Kingdom is reflected in his menus at the two Brisbane restaurants, Two Small Rooms and Restaurant Two, where he is supervising chef and partner with Michael Conran. Their association began in 1993 at Two Small Rooms in Toowong, established by Michael six years earlier. From this BYO corner shop they cater to a range of clients from suburban dwellers to overseas travellers looking for 'something that is fairly Queensland '. Restaurant Two, their city premises and three times the size of Two Small Rooms, was awarded three stars by the 2004 Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide and dubbed a 'CBD icon'. Conran and Pugh have also collaborated to publish their recipes in Two Small Rooms and a Kitchen 1997.
David Rayner 2001
David Rayner opened his first restaurant, River House in Noosaville , Queensland , in June 2004. The event represented the realisation of a dream for the English-born chef who served his apprenticeship at London 's Savoy Hotel. Rayner worked at several of London 's well-known restaurants before arriving in Australia 10 years ago, where he successfully led a number of kitchens in Sydney . He led the kitchen team at Berardo's for four years, and the restaurant won several prestigious awards during that time. The dream was finally realised when River House opened. "Our restaurant is about becoming part of the neighbourhood", says Rayner. The location is an essential part of the River House ethos: "Climate and soil favour the cultivation of an amazing variety of vegetables, herbs and salad greens and fishermen supply an abundant catch of fresh fish and seafood".
Three generations of the Reid Family, Tasmania 1997
The Reid family has been growing apples in Tasmania for almost 150 years. The tradition began in 1856 when James Reid settled in Castle Forbes Bay . By the time James passed away in 1900, his orchard had become very successful. James' youngest son, Thomas, exported fruit to the UK during World War 1. It was Thomas' son Steve and his two sons Tom and Doug,who registered the company name S.D. Reid & Sons in the 1950s. Tom and Doug retired from the business in the late 1990s and Tom's son Tim and Debra took the reigns. Tim and Debra's second daughter, Allison, continues the family tradition of involvement in the fruit growing business. Recently the company has expanded into cherry production and aims to be the largest cherry producer in Tasmania and, most likely, Australia 's biggest cherry exporter.
Jacques Reymond 2002
Well-known restaurateur Jacques Reymond arrived in Melbourne from France in 1983 with his wife Katherine and young family, and no immediate prospects. He answered an advertisement and, within a week, was working at Mietta's. The 29-year-old chef's life had been colourful: cooking since he was 11; an internship in English restaurants in France; lured to Sao Paolo to run a kitchen in a restaurant – which turned out to be a brothel; in charge of 150 cooks in a hotel deep in the Amazon jungle; work in Madrid; France again; and then Melbourne - where the peripatetic Jacques intended to stay for only a short time. After five years working for Mietta O'Donnell, Jacques opened his own restaurant in Richmond . His next move was to last. In 1992 he acquired a handsome Victorian mansion in Prahran where he opened the now much acclaimed Jacques Reymond Cuisine du Temps.
Rickshaw (Jason Roberts) 2001
New Zealand born Sydney chef Jason Roberts has become a brand — 'The TV Cook'. This popular host of Fresh: Cooking with the Australian Women's Weekly, on the Nine Network, was spotted in 2002 by a celebrity management agency, the brand was created, and The TV Cook was launched. Roberts' debut in the USA on Good Morning America in 2003 reached a global audience of 14 million. Such appearances are a world away from Roberts' earlier role as head chef at Sydney 's Bistro Moncur. These management strategies, designed to 'create the want in the world market for The TV Cook', have resulted in Jason's appointment to endorse a new cookware range — and travel to 80 destinations worldwide demonstrating the product. Celebrity status for Roberts has another side. He gives much of his free time to various children's charities, supporting them in person.
Self portrait 2004

During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Russell-Clarke became the first Australian television 'Celebrity Chef' with his program 'Come and Get It'. Televised in the early evenings as families were sitting down to dinner, the catchy theme song and simple, health conscious recipes became synonymous with the development of a uniquely Australian approach to cooking. Since retirement he has focused on his love of painting.
Cindy Sargon 2004
The popular TV chef Cindy Sargon is co-owner of Alligator Brand, a food business established in 1993 to supply high-quality pasta to caterers, delis, restaurants and airlines. The company, which aims to supply a gourmet product every bit as good as the pasta that chefs create by hand in their own kitchens, was the sole provider of pasta to the athletes' village at the 2000 Olympics. Since 1990 Cindy Sargon has built a devoted following as a celebrity chef, appearing on numerous cooking shows on both pay TV and free-to-air. For the 7 Network she has appeared on Surprise Chef, as a celebrity judge on My Restaurant Rules, and most recently as the host of Saturday Kitchen.

Born in Switzerland , Hermann Schneider was imported to Australia , along with other top European chefs, to assist with the catering for the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. In 1960 he opened Melbourne 's legendary Two Faces restaurant, long regarded as one of Australia 's finest – in 1989 the Melbourne Age named it one of the ten best restaurants of the decade. Acclaimed as combining European professionalism with Australian ease his restaurant attracted prime ministers, union officials, artists and journalists as regulars. As owner-chef at Two Faces, Schneider mentored many prominent young chefs of the current generation, including Teage Ezard and Luke Mangan. After the closure of the original Two Faces, Hermann Schneider with wife Faye ran Two Faces at Delgany before becoming chef-owner at Arthur's, on Victoria 's Mornington Peninsula which closed in summer 2003.
Leo Schofield 2001
Leo Schofield AM has had an enormous impact upon Australia 's dining scene through his incarnation as a restaurant critic. Now a leading figure in the arts in Australia , it was during a twenty-five year career in advertising and journalism that Schofield began critiquing restaurants. He edited the first edition of The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide in 1984, and his reputation was such that it was said he could close a restaurant with a bad review. Described as ' Sydney 's arbiter of taste', Schofield has been credited with influencing the cosmopolitan and international style of Sydney dining through his modern approach to food. While he has retired as a restaurant critic, he remains Editor-At-Large for Gourmet Traveller.
Max Schubert 1993
Max Schubert (1915-1994) was the man behind Penfolds Grange Hermitage, the wine unanimously hailed as Australia 's finest. Born in South Australia 's Barossa Valley , he joined Penfolds as a messenger boy at age 16. His rise through the Penfolds ranks was swift: by 25 he was the firm's Assistant Winemaker; at 33 he became Chief Winemaker. In 1950, he was sent to Europe to study winemaking. In Bordeaux he sampled "mature" clarets – wines that retained their flavour although 40 or 50 years old – and returned to Australia determined to make "an Australian red wine that would last at least 20 years and be comparable with those produced in Bordeaux ." Experimental production of Grange Hermitage began with the 1951 vintage. The first commercial Grange was the 1952 vintage, released in 1955. Critical reaction to the new wine was disastrous: one expert called it "a concoction of wild fruits and sundry berries with crushed ants predominating";
Phillip Searle
Phillip Searle is a chef who runs Vulcans cafe in Blackheath in the Blue Mountains . Searle was at Nediz Neddy's and Possums in Adelaide during the seventies before moving to Sydney and setting up the famed Oasis Seros. Searle's latest move saw a transformation in his approach to food and dining. Vulcans is located in Blackheath's old bakery, and Searle uses the original oven to do his cooking, offering a limited menu and dishes that are shared, reviving a type of communal eating. He says, "It's back to the hearth, to the shared table and people love it." Searle also teamed up with another Blackheath baker, Brent Hurst, to set up the Infinity Sour Dough Bakery in Darlinghurst, which rapidly earned a reputation as one of Sydney 's finest bakeries and established a brisk trade to restaurants.
Peter Singer 2002
Professor Peter Singer is an influential philosopher, who advocates veganism as the only ethical diet. Singer's utilitarian philosophy – judging whether acts are right or wrong by their consequences – led to a belief that all animals capable of suffering should be given equal consideration, and therefore the use of animals for food or experimentation is unjustifiable. His book Animal Liberation 1975 is credited with triggering the modern animal rights movement. He continues to campaign against factory farming of animals, viewing it as cruel and unnecessary. Singer is currently Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University 's Centre for Human Values. A founding member of the Green Party in Victoria , in 1996 he stood unsuccessfully as a Greens Senate candidate.
Gary Skelton 2000
Gary Skelton is a chef whose Season restaurant helped launch Noosa as a centre for first-rate dining. Season was praised by one reviewer for bringing "an impressive new seriousness and maturity to Noosa eating". Skelton established a reputation in Sydney at The Edge in Darlinghurst before going north to set up Season. The restaurant was named after its menu, which is seasonally based and featured light, bright dishes gently enhanced by Middle Eastern, Asian and European influences. Skelton sold Season last year, but remains a consultant to the restaurant. Known for his innovation, he now works primarily in the food industry in an advisory role.
Charmaine Solomon (and Ruben Solomon) 2004
Charmaine Solomon is an international cookery writer whose user-friendly but distinctive recipes and knowledge of spices have revolutionised cooking in Australia . Dubbed the high priestess of Asian cooking or the spice queen, incredibly when Solomon emigrated here from Sri Lanka with her young family in the 1950s she had to teach herself how to cook. By 1964 her award winning cheese biscuits led from a bake-off to an invitation from Margaret Fulton to join the Women's Weekly as a food writer. She has written 31 cookbooks, including the classic Complete Asian Cookbook, which is an international bestseller. Solomon, who has been making her presence felt in our kitchens for 40 years with her joyful approach to cooking, believes food should be "fun, enjoyable, and relaxing - something you share with friends and family".
Gloria Staley c.1980

In 1981 he arrived in Australia with a refrigerated van and a determination to change the way Australians thought about cheese. His concern was that, whilst Australia was producing high quality milk products, he did not think enough premium cheeses were being developed. A founder of the Australian Specialist Cheesemakers Association in 1994, judge at cheese competitions, regular contributor to magazines, and frequent presenter of master classes, Studd has been a tireless and devout enthusiast for all things cheese. His 1999 book, 'Chalk and Cheese', in 2000 won Best Cheese Book in the World at the Périgueux Book Fair and the Michelin Silver Ladle Award for best food book at the World Media Awards.

John Susman 2004
John Susman is a leading expert on seafood and founder of the Flying Squid Brothers, which supplied local seafood to the top Australian restaurants throughout the 1980s and 1990s resulting in some world-class dishes. The company owed it success to Susman's involvement in all stages of production from feeding fish to harvesting and handling. It also exported gourmet food to Asia , including oysters from Nambucca Heads and King George whiting from South Australia as well as produce like vine-ripened tomatoes and baby cos lettuce. Susman believes that Australia is recognised in the Asian markets for " having a produce-led cuisine". An oyster specialist, he has worked on oyster regionalism and convinced many restaurants of the merits of on-the-spot shucking.
Society of Gourmets 1957
"To eat or not to eat- that is the question" begins the book Oh for a Man Who Cooks published for charity in 1957 by the self proclaimed Society of Gourmets. The Society of Gourmets was six members (never more than six) which meet on the final Wednesday of each month to cook and discuss food in Sydney . The group included ambassadors, restaurateurs and food enthusiasts: Sigurd Klingenberg, Carlos Zalapa, John Walker (Johnny Walker) Frank Keane and Ted Moloney. It was a set of recipes derived from French, Mexican, Spanish, Tahitian and Italian sources either their respective homelands or collected from various travels overseas with whole chapters devoted to salads and the new-comer, coffee. It is one of many beginnings of an international influence on the eating habits of post war Australia .

When he was older, Tan's mother wanted him to take over the family restaurants in Malaysia but he ran away and didn't want to be involved in the restaurant business. Times have changed and today Tony Tan's credentials include being a chef, food historian, writer, television presenter and culinary tour guide.

Wine tasting at the Tulloch vineyard 1968
Ivor Roberts (writer) and Douglass Baglin (photographer) published Australian Wine Pilgrimage in 1969 as one of the early books on wine in Australia that was aimed at the non-specialist wine consumers. This image was taken in the Hunter Valley at Tulloch's winery. Tulloch's was founded 1895 and over the ensuring years its reputation suffered under multiple ownership changes. It is now in the hands of Poole 's Rock Wines.

He created one of Australia 's first commercial chardonnays, and was instrumental in popularising both chardonnay and pinot noir. An infamous incident in 1967 saw Tyrrell jump a barb- wire fence to 'liberate' chardonnay cuttings from an experimental vineyard owned by Penfolds, which he grafted onto his own vine rootstock. Tyrrell's Vat 47 launched in 1971 remains a first-rate chardonnay, while in 1979 he won the Gault Milleau Award for the World's Finest Pinot Noir at the Wine Olympiad in Paris .
The Holmes à Court family

In 1967, Vasse Felix was the first commercial vineyard and winery to be established in the Margaret River region of Western Australia . The vineyard took its paradoxical name from an early event in the district. Vasse was a French seaman who drowned last century when his longboat overturned near the site of Busselton while exploring the coastline on the French ship "Geographe". Felix is the Latin word for fortunate or luck. Established by Dr Tom Cullity, the winery's name, therefore, refers to a favoured place in Australia discovered by the French. In 1987, Vasse Felix was purchased by the Holmes à Court family and today grows under the leadership of Mrs Janet Holmes à Court. Apart from producing award-winning wines, the facilities include a first-class restaurant, café and a permanent art gallery housing the Holmes à Court art collection as well as performances, concerts and functions.
Tetsuya Wakuda 2003
Tetsuya Wakuda was born and raised in the Japanese town of Hamamatsu , where he trained as a hotel chef. He came to Australia in 1982, at the age of 22, working as a kitchen-hand at Sydney 's Fishwives restaurant before becoming the sushi specialist at Tony Bilson's Kinsella's. At Kinsella's Tetsuya learnt the classical French techniques that still inform his cooking today. He left in 1984 to open Ultimo's in partnership with Kinsella's former head waiter. Then in 1989 he opened Tetsuya's in Rozelle. The tiny shopfront restaurant – it seated 55 people – was perpetually booked out months in advance, with long daily waiting lists. In 2000 Tetsuya's moved to its current and more spacious quarters in Kent Street . Tetsuya is renowned for creating innovative dishes with a delicate balance of natural flavours. "Make simplicity seem like abundance" is a key philosophy behind his cooking.
Pontip Walpole 2004
Pontip Walpole runs Pontip Exotic Fruit & Vegetables shop and has been supplying Sydney kitchens – both commercial and domestic – with Thai ingredients for over a decade. A former home economics teacher, Walpole came to Australia in the early 1970s and, unable to find ingredients for Thai cooking, decided to grow her own in her backyard. Soon she was selling produce from the back of a truck and then opened the now renowned Pontip in Haymarket. Central to the Thai food explosion in Australia , she has influenced not only what we eat but also what local producers grow. While in the seventies Pontip was forced to cultivate her own kaffir lime trees and baffled farmers with orders for green papaya, today all the fresh produce in the shop is locally grown, while Thai ingredients are standard fare in markets and supermarkets.
Ned Winter 2004
The bush cook Ned Winter is known as Australia 's King of Camp Oven cuisine. For many years Ned has travelled the country appearing at country festivals, where he spins bush yarns and gives bush cooking demonstrations that enable him to show off his vast collection of camp ovens – he owns around a hundred of them, of which the largest weighs close to 200 kilos. This prodigious vessel can hold over 100 litres of stew, and can cook a damper containing 25 kilos of flour.
Alla Wolf-Tasker 1998
Alla Wolf-Tasker is a chef whose Lake House restaurant, which she set up with husband Allan in 1984, led to the revival of Daylesford as a centre for food and recreation. While seasonality and what she refers to as 'contemporary eclecticism' defines Wolf-Tasker's cooking, she is also influenced by her Russian heritage. A passionate advocate of local produce long before it was in vogue , most of Wolf-Tasker's ingredients are sourced locally. The recipient of numerous national and international accolades, the Lake House was nominated Best Country Restaurant in Victoria and awarded four Chefs Hats by The Age Good Food Guide. Wolf-Tasker also received the Guide's award for Professional Excellence. The Lake House is now a boutique hotel, however the restaurant remains at its heart.
Michael Wood Chef at Pier Nine 2001
Scottish born Michael Wood began his formal training at Preston Field House, Edinburgh. After a short holiday, Michael fell in love with Australia and became determined to make it his home. It is at Brisbane river front restaurant, Pier Nine that Wood, along with owner Matthew Hill Smith, that he found his niche. Wood and Hill Smith over 15 years have built a Brisbane institution devoted to fresh produce, particularly seafood. Given Hill Smith's standing as a sixth generation Australian winemaker, the restaurant prides itself on its extensive wine list as well. Pier Nine is one of only twenty restaurants to secure a prestigious three star rating by the Australian Gourmet Traveller.
David Wynn with son Adam at Mountadam winery 1984
David Wynn, champion of the Coonawarra and founder of Wynns Coonawarra Estate and Mountadam, had a profound effect on the Australian wine industry. He promoted regional wine when it was customary to sell blends. He introduced the popular flagon wine as early as the 1950s that placed value-for-money wines on the table at a price less than beer. He was the first to promote wine and food combinations with his recipe neck tags. He pioneered chardonnay in Australia and later countered the trend with un-oaked chardonnay wines. But it is his innovation with the wine cask that made his mark on Australian history. In 1971, his company acquired the patent and launched Wynn's Winegrower's Winecasks. It was a huge commercial success that within years companies such as Orlando with its 'Coolabah' range would dominate in the late 1970s. Wynn's extraordinary range of achievements was acknowledged with the receipt of the industry's peak prize, the 1993 Maurice O'Shea Award.
Lien Yeomans c. 2002
Lien Yeomans came to Australia from Vietnam to take up an academic scholarship in 1962.

Lien Yeomans is also well-known for her gourmet cooking classes in Brisbane and in-depth cooking tours to Vietnam . Yeomans' other claim to fame is being the mother of Quan Yeomans from Brisbane 's high-profile band Regurgitor. Recently, Yeomans catered for Regurgitator during their three weeks of recording in a clear bubble in Federation Square , Melbourne .
Psalm 60 1994
Psalm 60 is not simply a dinner party scene but explores the excessive consumption of food and wine as a metaphor for narcissistic self-gratification. Zofrea represents a scene of intemperate gormandising with innuendos of social and emotional insincerity.

The Most Clever Recycled & DIY Headphone Stands
So you bought the perfect new pair of headphones, huh? Well now you'll need somewhere to keep them. And since you probably blew a ton of money buying that new set of cans, you're going to want to check out these clever DIY headphone stands from around the web, made from mostly re-used and recycled pieces.
Need a headphone stand quickly and cheaply? Turn to the experts.
By experts, of course, we mean the headphone-obsessed users on audiophile forum Head-Fi. They've been the gatekeepers of a 5-year old thread called "THE DIY HEADPHONE STAND THREAD" (Their caps lock, not ours) that's full of do-it-yourself inspiration for creating headphone stands.
Most of them are all made from re-used and recycled pieces, meaning your new-to-you headphone stand will also be green. But the most surprising part? They all have a really great design aesthetic. Besides a few "stands" made of hacked-up CD spindles, any of them would look great sitting out on your desk or media center.
We've rounded up our favorites in the gallery above. But if you want to read the whole 50-page long comment thread (We weren't joking on the 5-year thing; the first post was made in 2007), check it out here.

I've been thinking about buying new headphones to use at work, and the idea of storing them on a mennequin head is cracking me up!
dude! that's my mannequin! or rather, we carry that at the place i work at! http://www.displayimporter.com/Head-Forms/
The best thing i've found is a 99 cent tape roll holder from harbor freight.
I use a bent paperclip hung from a loosened screw under my desk. Free and out of sight!
I use a IKEA STOLMEN hook on my bookshelf, works like a charm with my headphones.

My free writing from the other day
#I hate that we live in a world where one would rather kill them self than be who they are. How could one feel so degraded to the point of such extreme measures? In a world like today, I agree that it is hard to truly be you, to be who you really are no matter who is around.
##Judgment is an unbearable factor, but with in the issue it's self, judgment is a highly important human trait. When you look at some one, you instantly judge whether or not they are 'good' people. This is how humans decipher whether or not you want to talk to them or be friends with them. This is how humans choose if one is successful or unsuccessful. These judgements are all based off of appearance, but appearance can be deceiving. Some of the worst looking people, people you walk by and think 'That guy was nasty looking, he looked like a bum' have the most to give.
##Although we need to use our judgements to decide who we will hang out with or talk to, this does not mean we should treat people based upon our judgements. When one says something to another human, it may not seem like much to the speaker, but to the person listening it could be hurtful. Judgements are definitely ok, if they stay in your head, they are critical, but don't judge one's life, ones beliefs, or ones family until you have walked a mile in their moccasins.
##Everyone is going through something, or has gone through something, and when you say something, it may not mean much to you, but it could be a whole other world for the other person. Each word may not make a huge difference, but it all adds up. The person puts on a mask. You wont notice it, but they will be on their last straw, and when they break the world is to blame.
##All of this draws me back to Rachael's Challenge. Rachael, a girl who was shot in a school shooting, is making a difference in her afterlife. She believed that a little bit of kindness could go a long way. She believed that one simple act of kindness could save some ones life; and it is completely true. That one kid you called fat, he may have diabetes. That one kid you called ugly, he may have been burned in a fire. That one kid you said has no friends may grow up to be the most successful person you will ever know. That one kid that you told to kill them self may just do it, and it will be all over. Once a life is taken, it can't be given back. And we wonder why people think about suicide.
##If everyone could rejoice, and stop judging based upon age, sex, color, height, weight, sexual orientation, and all of those other negligible thoughts that get pushed into our heads, we could live together in a safe happy world. We are all of one whole, we are all the same on the inside; so next time you think about making fun of some one, stop and think, you have differences and things wrong with you too. Maybe you will stick up for the person being picked on, and he may not show it but i bet anything that it will mean the world to him. He will feel safer, more secure, more confident. He will feel like he has a friend, and maybe even a place in the world. You may even save a life.
##You have the power, the healing touch, you just have to use it. It takes nothing to do what others are doing, but it takes a whole lot to go against what others are doing and stand alone. When you make the right choice you will know, and you will be proud. The time is now, to start a chain reaction, and you may just save some ones life.
