Thoughts/Review/Recommendation of "An Unlikely Weapon: The Eddie Adams Story"
Photography has always fascinated me: to see what another saw, to have a moment frozen from hereafter for people decades later to view, to share another place-time-experience as if I were there. This is the world of film. This is humanity at its rawest.
Thus, it was with great interest I viewed the documentary "An Unlikely Weapon: The Eddie Adams Story." (I watched it in its entirety on Netflix streaming.) Much more than an overview of Adam's fascinating career, it was a lesson of love of humanity through and through, and a lesson of the individual who in pursuit of his own passion becomes a teacher to many.
That focus of an individual living his life, doing what he wants to do, and in the process becoming significant beyond what he may ever have imagined and in ways far beyond the career itself is one for all to remember. That aspect alone, to me, is what makes a documentary of an individual such as Adams intriguing and inspiring. From the life of one doing as he pleases, from the humor of situations one is placed in to the tragedy, from making a career but endeavoring to do it on your terms, from the feeling down to feeling on top of the world, comprises a life of what I consider true greatness. It has less to do with other people and more to do with the individual. This is why I appreciate biographical documentaries.
Not only in the interviews with friends, family and associates who spoke of his personality, but in the segments with Adams himself, I found his candor and spontaneity most impressive. (I appreciate those who just say it like they see it. Such honesty is rare.) His career in all its variety from war coverage, to doing photo shoots for Penthouse and Parade, to his Bathhouse Studio in NYC (what a transformation of that building!) and the workshops he made available, is covered from his perspective, and in interviews with co-workers, friends and family (including his son and his wife).
I really only knew of Adams' incredible work from the Vietnam War including foremost that Pulitzer winning image 'General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong prisoner in Saigon'. Some images as that one, or the one taken by Nik Ut of the naked little girl running down the street to escape a South Vietnamese napalm attack and bombing, remain etched in one's memory indelibly.
It is this I found most poignant of Adams' career – his was a life of depicting the lives of those you and I would never have otherwise witnessed. And it is this which, to me, makes photographers as he, willing to go where most of us never have and never will go, more a historian in my eyes than simply a photo journalist.
I am 45. The Vietnam War began before my birth and ended while I was yet a young child. During my early teens, it became important to me to learn of this war which never in all my years of government school (until one lone mention in an AP high-school literature class) was covered in the least. I remember taking the history books and finding this tragic horrific chapter of American history conveniently omitted. So my research and learning was self-taught from the writings and the photos and film of those who were there. I believe it (and my reading of Gore Vidal) during those early years of my life began formulating my distrust of the federal government.
Photos such as those from Adams, of which you'll view many in this excellent documentary, are powerful…powerful tools for peace. We learn that Adams has covered 13 wars, 6 American presidents, and numerous celebrities for over 50 years – but those mere words, colorful as they sound, achromatize upon becoming engrossed in this documentary. For Adam's work is human with a capital "H" in all its tragedy, misery, sadness, depression, and in all its promise, delight and joy. In this film everything from war coverage to unique photography of celebrities is covered, but there is a far greater message here than only appreciating an art form – for it is not art which is the focus – it is the human experience.
For me, the point which the documentary most communicated was of love. For me, the images, the interviews and remembrances, the changes in governmental policy and societal judgments you'll learn about as an apparent result of being exposed to a truth only an image can sear into your mind, all come down to love. Only in viewing each and every human being as like us do we relinquish focusing on the differences and rather focus on what we share – which is so much more.
This was poignantly discussed by Kim Phuc ( she was the little girl burned badly and seen running in the Nik Ut photo as she tried to escape a South Vietnamese napalm attack and then to escape bombing). This lady's interview touched me deeply, for despite the horror she suffered, hers is a message of love and forgiveness – a message which as she says in so many words would – if adopted by all – stop war.
I learned much watching this documentary, not only for the good I derive in learning the story of another, or reminder of the inhumanity of man and the humanity, but also I was expressly reminded of the power for life, for good, for love which conveyance of the truth can create.
Within the tyranny Americans now find themselves in, each of us has tremendous power, often not realized fully by each of us, to affect the world for the better. Far beyond that which we might (if we attempted to) imagine the results of our actions and endeavors, we can change lives, inspire action, and decrease suffering. We may not even realize it at the time.
I recall Adam's decision to board a small boat of Vietnamese refugees being turned away…his recollection of this moment was one of the most interesting to me. Here was a man who just made that decision, a decision very few would make, not knowing what would happen – but he did it. He even bought fuel and rice for them as he joined them. The outcome: photos which apparently made such a mark on those in the U.S. government that the refusal of Vietnamese refugees was reversed.
Photos do that. They turn lots of words, no matter how eloquent, into a reality the mind and heart cannot escape from. And, in that, is the power of the lens.
It is to that I turn as what I think is one of the strongest lessons you and I might learn: that we record everything that hits us in the gut, that we report it, share it, to tell what we have learned and what we have seen…that we share it in whatever means we have to do so.
These days, even on the streets of our cities, a camera in the hands of an individual can be a necessity to depict the truth – and sadly more and more a necessity to do so against gunned government thugs whose arrogance we've all witnessed in so many infamous YouTube videos. And when it comes to today's imperialistic wars the U.S. government wages, one can not trust the sanitized versions provided by those who are doing the aggression. Regardless of the situation, overseas or domestically, people need to see and hear the truth. The government cares only about suppressing the truth be it back in Vietnam or now. I view all government – at any level – as having as one of its chief goals: suppression of the truth, making truth telling in all its forms vital. The evils and subsequent human suffering resulting from what government does at all levels must be reported boldly and courageously.
It is said the pen is mightier than the sword, and that a picture is worth a thousand words. These are not mere cliches, but have become commonly used because they really do express a truth. A truth found in a man's work as Adams' and those like him, and a truth found in all the works of those who cast aside fear in pursuit of something they aspire to.
Adams expressed something which made me think of a personal belief I hold when he recounted how he felt safe behind the lens. It is, to me, one of the most interesting aspects of his work that he shares (when one realizes the numerous dangerous situations this man has put himself into.) (It is my belief that spiritual forces come to work with us, even shielding us from harm in the midst of danger, when we place truth as our priority.) Such fearlessness is of love.
The last point I wish to make in my review and recommendation of this documentary is that those who say they want peace must not shelter themselves from human suffering. I've known several people over the years who identified themselves deeply with working for peace, and each of them refused to view film footage, films, or photos which showed violence. It didn't matter if it was about Vietnam or Nazi Germany, for example, if it showed such pain they refused to view it saying they chose to focus on peace and love not the results of fear and violence and its hatred.
But I say that each of us, to the degree we really love, must not shelter ourselves from at least viewing such materials (even if we never witness personally such horrific misery). I speculate that one who wants to remove themselves from even the slightest degree experiencing that pain from man's inhumanity to one another, is letting fear make the incorrect decision for them. I frankly doubt that one who will not even view an image will likely be of much real use in bringing peace, comfort, and relief to those in need should that situation arise, for fear has already made a decision, and their words of peace merely obfuscate their lack of courage within.
I highly recommend "An Unlikely Weapon: The Eddie Adams Story" to all…and most especially to those who have chosen to be an individual who seeks to ease suffering in all its forms, to oppose war, and who chooses to bring peace into this world as much as they can during their path.

A large proportion of consumers are ready to take advantage of the Isa reforms which come into effect today, according to Which? research.
Our survey of 2,036 UK adults suggests that the majority of savers are supportive of the new rules, which allow them to store up to £15,000 tax free in a New Isa (NISA).
More than half (54%) of those who knew all about the new rules said that the changes would encourage them to shop around for the best Isa deals, whilst 40% claimed the changes would encourage them to save more money.
Go further: New Isa rules – find out more about how New Isas work
Consumers reluctant to switch Isas
The survey's results indicate that Isa switching rates may increase in the coming months.
Previous Which? research suggests that more than half (55%) of those with an instant-access cash Isa and four in ten (42%) of those with a notice cash Isa have never switched.
Meanwhile, in April 2014, we discovered that just 72% of instant-access cash Isas allowed transfers in, down from 88% in 2012.
In response to our findings, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said: "We want to support savers at all stages of their life and make sure they have greater flexibility and choice over how they access their savings.
"Today's introduction of the new Isas is a big boost for millions of people, giving them greater economic security by putting aside money in savings."
Go further: Looking to switch Isa? – See our best rate Isa tables
Which? calls for support from Isa providers
Which? is calling on providers to 'Scrap the Savings Trap' and stop limiting transfers into their new Isas.
If providers do not allow transfers in, there is a risk that people won't be able to get the best deal and their savings will be stuck in accounts paying poor rates of interest.
We also want all providers to be required to take part in the automated ISA switching service. This will make it quicker and easier for people to move their money to a better deal. Currently, it's only used in around six in ten transfers.
Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, said: "The Government's reforms are good news for existing savers and they will also encourage more people to save, but the benefits will be undermined if providers don't help savers get the best rates.
"It's now over to the banks to help their customers make the most of their money. Providers should clearly notify their customers of their interest rates and the changes, make switching easier, and stop limiting transfers in."

If Bono has the power to summon Eddie Vedder at will, who knows what else he's capable of.
At U2's Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary concert in Seattle this past weekend, Bono exclaimed "Where is Eddie Vedder? Spirit of Seattle, spirit of Chicago, spirit of America. Where's Eddie?"
What happened afterwards? Out walked Eddie Vedder!
Bono also welcomed Mumford and Sons to the stage as he lead an all star collaboration on the song "Mothers of the Disappeared", which you can watch above.

Penny Dreadful
Back in the 19th century, people started to print and sell serial stories called 'Penny Dreadfuls'. As opposed to the more literary episodical stories–which often cost a whole schilling–Penny Dreadfuls cost only a penny a week. Penny Dreadfuls were melodramatic, unpolished tales that used recurring themes from Gothic thrillers. The booklets were passed around and beloved by the working class.
"Babysitting for Vampires" follows the paranormal adventures of bartender turned babysitter Robin Lesune. The style immediately reminded me of a Penny Dreadful. It has an unsuspecting protagonist, naughty child vampires, absurd humor and a severe element of strangeness throughout. While it may occasionally or accidentally invoke some philosophical truth or deeper pontification, it is intended to be nothing more than a blood-spattered, tongue-in-cheek romp of the supernatural.

Top tech companies plug into renewable power
Complemented by a 375-kilowatt solar carport for employees, the solar array at White Sands will supply approximately 10% of the total power used at the installation and reduce carbon emissions by 7,400 tons per year.
"When talking hundreds of megawatts, you're talking about covering quite a bit of space," said SEIA's Hitt.
Aided by tax incentives, the increase in solar deployments can be attributed to a sharp drop in installed system prices. Solar efforts are getting cheaper for two reasons: an improvement in silicon wafer production and economies of scale.
Photovoltaic power technology advances
SEIA's Shugar, who is also CEO of solar voltaic installer Solaria Corp., said the technology to make the crystalline silicon wafers used for photovoltaic cells has improved exponentially over the past few decades.
The silicon wafering process begins with solid ingots made of single-crystal or multi-crystalline silicon material.
Thirty years ago, blocks of silicon ingots were sliced into thin wafers by hand using expensive and inefficient diamond saws, much in the same way a butcher slices cold cuts. The relatively thick wafers were then used to make photovoltaic cells.
In the 1980s, the solar industry began using wire saws to cut the ingots into wafers. Each slice was 500 microns in thickness (a micron is 1/1,000 of a meter). Historically, every five years, silicon wafer production has seen a 50-micron reduction in thickness. Today, wire saws slice an entire block into wafers at the same time, each wafer being only 150 microns in thickness, Shugar said.
Because of cost reductions, Shugar said solar deployments have grown by 50% to 100% every year for the past 12 years.
"It really is a technology story at the end of the day," Shugar said.
Major challenges ahead
Even with the advances in technology, Google's Demasi said there are still major challenges ahead, not the least of which is the intermittent nature of renewable energy and delivery hurdles.
For example, "smart grids," or electrical grids that are controlled by computers and measure the amount of electricity going out to businesses as well as the surplus green power being sold back to a utility, are still in their infancy.
Demasi said getting utilities to play the middleman role and deliver the renewable product Google wants is not always possible because green power resources are still limited.
Coal-fired power plants are still the single largest producer of electricity for corporations, but that is changing, according to Hitt. Five years ago, coal-fired power plants produced 52% of the nation's industrial energy supply. Today, they produce just 30%, she said.
Renewable energy still makes up just 9.1% of the power produced in the U.S., according to the Energy Information Administration.
"The holy grail is a low-cost resource delivered to the end user by the utility but that's also scalable to a company's needs," Demasi said. "Our ambition is to be 100% green as we grow, but that's a daunting challenge...."

ISIS mission: U.S. preparing for 'years-long' effort
Andrea Janus, CTVNews.ca
Published Sunday, November 2, 2014 10:29AM EST
Last Updated Sunday, November 2, 2014 7:04PM EST
As Canada dropped its first bombs over Iraq on Sunday, the Pentagon's press secretary says the United States is preparing "for a years-long effort" in the fight against Islamic State militants.
Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby made the comments to CTV's Question Period earlier this week, shortly before Canadian CF-18s dropped 500-pound laser-guided missiles near the city of Fallujah.
While two CF-18s flew Canada's first combat mission over Iraq on Thursday, they didn't drop any bombs. That changed Sunday, when Canada took part in an approximately four-hour mission alongside its coalition partners, led by the U.S.
When asked how long the anti-ISIS fight may take, Kirby responded that at the Pentagon, "we are preparing ourselves for a years-long effort."
Success against ISIS will not be measured in the number of militants that coalition forces kill, he said. Rather, the goal is to destroy the terror group's ability to function, as well as destroy the "attractiveness of this warped, barbaric ideology."
"This isn't just about killing individuals," Kirby said. "This is about degrading and destroying the capabilities of this group to exist as an entity and to have the influence that they continue to have."
Asked whether U.S. officials hope Canada will renew its six-month mission, which is limited to airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq, Kirby would only say that "we look forward to working with the Canadian military, as we always do."
Chain of command
Last month, six CF-18s, two CP-140 Aurora surveillance planes and one C-150 refuelling jet arrived at an undisclosed air base in Kuwait, from where they are launching airstrikes as part of the U.S.-led coalition.
In his interview with Question Period, Kirby offered some details about how Canadian pilots will receive their orders.
Targets are selected by personnel at the Combined Air Operations Centre, which is operating in the region under U.S. Central Command.
Each day, the Combined Air Operations Centre assigns what is called an "air tasking order," which outlines what missions the aircraft will fly, where and with which weapons. Targets are assigned according to the available aircraft that day, Kirby said.
Canada's Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Tom Lawson, has said that Canadian commanders can veto any assignment given to Canadian pilots if they feel it is outside their mandate.
According to Kirby, countries are not assigned to cover specific regions. Rather, missions will depend on the targets.
"The way we've been conducting these strikes is not based on geographic zones necessarily as assignments to different countries, but rather going after targets of relevance and making sure we choose the proper asset from the air to go after a proper target," Kirby said.
"So it's really not driven by lines on the map."
While Canada's mission only calls for Canadian planes to hit targets in Iraq, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has left the door open for airstrikes in Syria only if permission is granted by the Syrian government.
Other coalition forces are hitting targets in Syria to undermine ISIS militants' ability to organize, recruit, arm and train fighters, Kirby said. In Iraq, forces are focused on "dynamic targeting."
"We're going after actual targets that are either threatening or about to threaten Iraqi and Kurdish security forces," he said.
Well over 400 airstrikes have been conducted in total in both countries, Kirby said, and they continue every day.
"We've been saying from the beginning that this is going to be a long struggle."

Paraphrase "A Noiseless Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman.
- print Print
- list Cite
The speaker of the poem watches a spider on a "promontory" as it explores its surroundings through sending out huge numbers of filaments on every side to give itself a sense of where it is in relation to everything else around it. The speaker notes that the spider does this endlessly and tirelessly.
In the second stanza the speaker uses the sight of this spider and his action as a metaphor to describe his own soul. Just as the spider is surrounded by lots of space, so his soul is surrounded by "measureless open space." His soul therefore casts out endless filaments as well, "seeking the spheres, to connect them." The aim of the soul, the speaker suggests, is to try and connect itself to the sense of the divine:
Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul.
The poem is therefore about loneliness and also the search for meaning and a sense of the divine in a world where it is so easy to become overwhelmed by the space around us.

With a mind always in motion, questioning and analyzing, math was always a favorite subject for Sara. In grade 10, her previous math teacher had asked if she was interested in tutoring one of his students, and the rest was history. Tutoring for almost 10 years, all grades up to 1st year university, helping other people discover their innate abilities was the driving force behind her success. Before moving to Toronto, Sara recruited her sister to help with the growing number of students looking for help.
After moving to Toronto in 2007, Sara has built a vibrant life here with great success in her current career as a bartender and was introduced to HFG and Leonie through a friend, and has found a great way to give back to the community by sharing knowledge with those who need a little extra support.

This afternoon Erin started her ballet/tap class. She was very excited to go and her teacher and piano player seemed happy to have her.
She starts off as a'duckling' and does both ballet and tap. When she hits 9 she can pick one or the other to do for the full 1 hour class. Several of the previous years' girls have gone on to become teachers and several have been in the Nutcracker in SLC. It'll be interesting to see what and how Erin does.
Waiting for class to start!

Technology seems to move at a frightening pace sometimes but DVDs have proven to be tough to beat. Somehow they've survived as the main medium for delivering wedding videos for over 10 years now, which in "tech years" is the equivalent of a century! You could argue that the humble DVD has successfully fought off it's HD counterpart, the Blu-ray disc, as adoption rates for Blu-ray have been relatively low. This was the main reason we decided not to invest in supporting Blu-ray as a way of delivering our wedding films, as very few of our brides and grooms own a Blu-ray player.
Okay, that subtitle may be a little overly dramatic but it does seem as though the DVD has finally met its match. With the rise of online streaming and digital downloads, we've made the decision to start delivering our wedding films as digital HD video files on USB flash drives as standard.
1) The image and sound quality is better – delivering digital video files on a USB flash drive means you can enjoy your film in full HD as it was originally intended (as opposed to standard definition on DVD).
2) Your memories are future-proofed – eventually DVD players will go the way of old VHS players and will probably only be found at car boot sales and in the murky depths of charity shops. Having the digital files on a USB flash drive means you can watch your wedding video on your SMART TV and your computer, enabling your wedding video to keep up with changes in technology.
3) You can make backup copies – with your USB flash drive, you can backup up the digital video files to your computer and external hard drive etc. In fact, we encourage it to make sure your memories are kept safe and don't get lost/deleted!
So, when you're looking for a wedding videographer, it might be worth considering how your wedding video will be delivered. Although DVDs are still OK at the moment, it might be worth thinking ahead to whether you will still own a DVD player in another 5 or 10 years time. If you've been smart enough to invest in an awesome wedding film 😉 you will definitely want to be able to watch your video in 10 years time!
A big thank you must go out to USB Memory Direct for providing us with some of our new branded USB flash drives and for the awesome customer service they've provided!

Feds seek trust of Muslim community
The trilling chant of the adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, rang out Sunday afternoon at the humble little white house behind a green fence that is South Florida's oldest mosque. Inside, a dozen men and one boy — shoes left outside as a cleansing gesture — quietly recited prayers and bowed to Mecca.
There was a single stark change in the ancient ritual this time — the longtime spiritual leader of Miami's Flagler Mosque was not there to lead it.
Dozens of federal agents appeared at early Saturday morning prayer to arrest Hafiz Muhammad Sher Ali Khan, the frail 76-year-old imam, and two of his sons, one who led the Masjid Jamaat Al-Mumineen Mosque in Margate, on charges of funneling money to the Pakistani Taliban to buy weapons and support militant training. All three are scheduled to make a first appearance in federal court on Monday.

With 10,000 varieties of tomatoes of all shapes, sizes and colours, it can be hard to know which are the best tomato varieties. Some are great for adding fresh into salads, while others come into their own when they're cooked. Some prefer a hearty beefsteak variety, while for others only the sweetest tomato varieties will do.
To help you pick, we polled BBC Gardeners' World Magazine readers to discover their favourites. Take a look at readers' eight top tomato varieties for salads, grilling, baskets and more, below.
'Gardeners' Delight' AGM
'Gardeners' Delight' AGM: a large cherry, cordon variety. This old favourite was a resounding winner, netting 48 per cent of the public vote. It has a delicious tangy flavour, and is reliable and prolific when grown under cover or outdoors. It was voted best for salads.
'Moneymaker': a salad, cordon variety. This is popular for its reliably huge yields in poor soil and bad summers. It was voted the top all-rounder - great for use in sandwiches and salads, roasting and grilling.
'Sungold' AGM
'Sungold' AGM: a cherry, cordon varietiy. This orange cherry was voted the sweetest, and is best eaten raw. It also has good disease resistance.
Best for baskets: 'Tumbling Tom'
'Tumbling Tom': a cherry, bush tomato, voted best for growing in hanging baskets. This compact variety has sweet fruit, and is available in classic red and yellow varieties and also does well in pots and containers.
'Ailsa Craig'
'Ailsa Craig': salad, cordon. This flavour-packed variety has been around for 100 years and for good reason; it has thin, dark-red skin and a firm texture.
'Shirley' AGM
'Shirley' AGM: salad, cordon. Popular with exhibitors, Shirley is ideal for growing in an unheated greenhouse. It matures early and has good disease resistance.
'Marmande' AGM
'Marmande' AGM: beefsteak, cordon. Its meaty texture and strong flavour make Marmande perfect for slicing into sandwiches and for cooking. Can be grown outside.
'Golden Sunrise' AGM
'Golden Sunrise' AGM: salad, cordon. These unusual, vivid-yellow fruits have a fantastically sweet flavour and are great for adding colour to salads.

George Zimmerman To Appear In Court TODAY To Face 2nd Degree Murder Charges With A Maximum Sentence Of Life Without Parole
George Zimmerman To Appear In Court To Face 2nd Degree Murder Charges
George Zimmerman will be hauled into court to face second-degree murder charges Thursday — arrested 45 days after he killed Trayvon Martin and walked free. The charges against Zimmerman show prosecutors didn't buy his claims of self-defense. Instead, they believe he intended to kill Trayvon. The Florida cops' refusal to arrest Zimmerman when he killed the unarmed black teenager on Feb. 26 sparked a national civil rights crusade and a series of rallies, marches and petitions.
"It is the search for justice for Trayvon that has brought us here," special prosecutor Angela Corey told a packed news conference in Jacksonville, Fla. "We did not come to this decision lightly. We do not prosecute by public pressure, nor by petition." Zimmerman surrendered at the state police office in Jacksonville. He will plead not guilty at his initial appearance Thursday, his lawyer said.
Prosecutors are charging Zimmerman with second-degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of life without parole. Legal experts had expected the lesser charge of manslaughter — an unintentional killing — especially in light of police officials' insistence that Zimmerman should face no punishment at all. Legal experts said Corey's decision to hit Zimmerman with murder charges could give prosecutors — or a jury — leeway.
"By charging second-degree murder she gives herself flexibility in plea negotiations to come down to manslaughter – and gives the jury options to consider if the case results in a trial," said David Weinstein, a criminal lawyer based in Miami. On Tuesday, Zimmerman's two former attorneys held an extraordinary news conference to announce they were quitting because they had had no contact with Zimmerman since Sunday.
Sharpton hailed the arrest of Zimmerman, but cautioned against celebration. "We do not want anyone high-fiving tonight. This is not about gloating, this is about pursuing justice," he said. "They have lost their son."
Hopefully this azzhole will get the maximum sentence.
R.I.P. Trayvon.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Stock-car racing legend Dale Earnhardt died Sunday afternoon from injuries he suffered in crash on the final lap of the Daytona 500.
Earnhardt's black No. 3 Chevrolet, which became a NASCAR icon during his remarkable career, slammed head-on into the outside concrete wall in Turn 4 of the 2.5-mile Speedway. Earnhardt was unconscious and unresponsive when emergency workers reached him in his car, which came to rest about 300 yards short of the start-finish line. He was cut from his car and taken to nearby Halifax Medical Center, where efforts to revive him failed.
The seven-time Winston Cup champion, tied with Richard Petty for the most all-time, was pronounced dead at 5:16 p.m. He was 49.
NASCAR president Mike Helton announced the news at 7 p.m.
''After the accident in Turn 4 at the end of the Daytona 500, we've lost Dale Earnhardt,'' Helton said.
Helton, his voice breaking, also read a statement from Bill France Jr., chairman of NASCAR's board of directors, that Helton said summed up the sport's reaction:

''Today NASCAR lost its greatest driver in the history of the sport,'' France's statement said.
Dr. Steve Bohannon, an emergency room physician at Halifax Medical Center and director of the track's emergency medical services, said the likely cause of Earnhardt's death was a basal skull fracture. That is the same injury that caused the on-track deaths of NASCAR drivers Adam Petty, Kenny Irwin and Tony Roper last year.
In response, some drivers began using what's called a HANS device, a head-and-neck restraint system designed to help prevent such injuries. Earnhardt didn't use the device, and in fact didn't like it, calling it a noose. Earnhardt still drove with an open-faced helmet, too.
''I know a full-face helmet would not have made any difference whatsoever,'' Bohannon said of Sunday's crash. ''He had no evidence of facial injuries. I don't know if the HANS device would have helped or not. I suspect not.''
The official cause of death has not been determined.
''(Earnhardt's body) has been turned over to the medical examiner's office,'' Bohannon said. ''I expect an autopsy to be done (today), but my speculation as an emergency room doctor would be that his death was caused by head injuries, particularly to the base of the skull.
Earnhardt was racing side-by-side with Sterling Marlin for third place on the final lap of the season's first race. Earnhardt lost control after their cars made contact as they exited the third turn and his Chevrolet shot up the track in front of Ken Schrader's Pontiac.
The No. 3 Chevrolet slid back down across the track and came to rest in the infield grass with Schrader's Pontiac up against it as the first- and second-place cars, driven by Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr., the oldest of Earnhardt's four children, crossed the finish line. Earnhardt, through Dale Earnhardt Inc., was the car owner of both of those Chevrolets.
''I don't know for sure what happened,'' Schrader said. ''We all spread out going down the back straightaway. I knew that was going to happen. I guess someone got into Dale because Dale got into me and up we went. I hit pretty hard, but Dale hit harder. I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, we were crashing.''

Schrader climbed out of his car and ran to check on Earnhardt. He immediately urged emergency workers to come to the injured driver's aid.
Bohannon said he was on the third for fourth ambulance to reach the scene.
One paramedic had an oxygen mask on Earnhardt from the right-side window while another doctor was administering cardio-pulmonary resuscitation through the driver's side window while a second paramedic held Earnhardt's head. Other rescue workers were removing the roof from the car, a process that Bohannon said took five to six minutes.
Earnhardt was taken immediately to Halifax Medical Center, a few blocks down International Speedway Boulevard from the track. A trauma team including a neurosurgeon and several other doctors was waiting when Earnhardt arrived at 4:54 p.m.
Resuscitation efforts continued for about 20 minutes, but Earnhardt showed no signs of life. His wife, Teresa, was at his bedside when the doctors pronounced him dead.
''We all did everything we could for him,'' Bohannon said. ''He had what I consider to be life-ending injuries at the time of impact. There was really nothing that could be done for him.''
Earnhardt had won 34 races at the Daytona track, more than any other driver. He won the Daytona500 in 1998 in his 20th try, filling a hole in one of the most brilliant careers in stock-car racing history.
Earnhardt's final career victory came on Oct. 15 of last season at Talladega, Ala., on the day Roper died from injuries he'd suffered in a Truck series crash at Texas Motor Speedway the night before.
That Talladega race was the first in which NASCAR used a new set of aerodynamic rules designed to improve the competition at its two largest, fastest tracks, Daytona and Talladega, where cars have been using carburetor plates since 1988 to reduce their speed.
The rules changes slowed the cars and improved their stability, allowing them to race close together at speeds of about 190 mph.
Earnhardt came from 18th to first in the final laps of that race to score a remarkable victory that will now resonate as a final great memory in a career that included seven championships, tying him with Richard Petty for the all-time record, and 76 victories, sixth best in history.
Sunday's race was the 53rd Winston Cup race at Daytona or Talladega in which restrictor plates had been used. Earnhardt had raced in all of them, winning 11 and finishing in the top 10 in 32 of them. Nobody else was even close to those records, but Earnhardt still openly despised the use of restrictor plates.
''A race driver hates a restrictor plate,'' Earnhardt said last year when NASCAR ordered their use for the return race to New Hampshire after the Petty and Irwin tragedies there. ''I think the same thing about restrictor plates that I've always thought about restrictor plates. It's not racing. Racing is going out there and trying to be the fastest guy on the race track.''
That had been Earnhardt's credo since he first began racing as a teen-ager on the short tracks in the Carolinas, tracks where his father, Ralph, had been a legendary competitor.
He ran his first Winston Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 25, 1975, starting 33rd and finishing 22nd. He got his first full-time ride in 1979 in cars owned by Rod Osterlund, and scored his first victory on April 1, 1979, at Bristol, Tenn.
Earnhardt was rookie of the year in 1979 and its champion the following season. He later drove for car owner Bud Moore before hooking back up in 1984 with Richard Childress, for whom he had raced briefly in 1981.
Together, Earnhardt and Childress won championships in 1986, '87, '90, '91, '93 and '94. He finished second in the standings to Bobby Labonte last year and was determined to make a run for a record eighth championship in the 2001 season that began on Sunday.
Earnhardt's car was scored with a 12th-place finish on Sunday in his 676th career Winston Cup race. It was his 648th consecutive start. He was in position to break Terry Labonte's record of 655 straight starts later this year.
Earnhardt's two older sisters -- he was the third of five children -- were watching Daytona Sunday afternoon with their mother, who always watches Earnhardt's races. Usually, at least one of the children is there with her because she gets nervous, said Kaye Snipes, the oldest sister.
When the wreck happened, it was a time of mixed emotions.
Compared to the cartwheeling wreck earlier in the race by Tony Stewart, Earnhardt's didn't look too bad, they said. And they were pleased with Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s second-place finished and the first-place showing of an Earnhardt car.
But they still awaited word from Danny, Earnhardt's youngest brother and a member of his crew, about Earnhardt's condition.
''Those wrecks don't always look that bad, but when you've been around racing long enough, those wrecks can be the worst,'' Snipes said.
Not wanting to believe in the rumors of Earnhardt's death -- ''you try not to listen to rumors,'' said sister Cathy Watkins -- the three women waited to hear from Danny. He called them from the hospital.
''When it's Dale, he's been around so many years he comes out of (those wrecks) always,'' Watkins said.
Snipes said the fear of a fatal wreck is always there, but she said, ''you don't think about that, or it drives you crazy.''
The last time the family was all together was at Christmas, although Earnhardt talked to his mother once a week, the sisters said.
''Everybody thought he would grow old, like Richard Petty,'' said Snipes.
Earnhardt is survived by his wife, Teresa; two sons, Dale Jr. and Kerry, and two daughters, Kelly and Taylor Nicole.

|Lords Hansard Home Page
Baroness Gardner of Parkes: My Lords, on a day when we have heard much about improvements to the health service, can the noble Leader of the House assure us that, in the abolition of postcode prescribing, NICE will not result in a levelling down rather than a levelling up? In particular, can she comment on the imminent announcement of the multiple sclerosis Beta Interferon NICE decision? Can she assure me that that will not be slipped out quietly in the shadow of this report?
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, I am afraid I cannot comment on the noble Baroness's final point. As I understand it, the Government have not yet received this. Therefore, I am not in a position to comment on it.
On the noble Baroness's overall point regarding levelling down, of course that will not be the case. The whole point of the national clinical frameworks, as devised and set out by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, is precisely to incorporate both clinical excellence and cost-effectiveness when considering the matter of prescribing.
Lord Patel: My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness the Leader of the House for repeating the Statement made by the Prime Minister. I also welcome the commitment now demonstrated by the Government to making the NHS responsive to the needs of patients and helping NHS staff to deliver the care. These are radical reforms, and I support much of what is contained in the plan.
Consultant and specialist registrar expansion is most welcome. We know from today's Question Time that more consultants are needed in the service. However, I should like to ask the noble Baroness if a stop will now be put to the current round of reductions of specialist registrars in training that is recommended in respect of some of the specialities. If a stop is not put to it, there will be difficulty in filling consultant expansion.
I also welcome the recommendation in the plan for the funding of specialist registrars from central funds. The current arrangement of 50 per cent of the funding coming from postgraduate deeds and 50 per cent from the trust is not working satisfactorily. Many specialist registrar posts are not currently being filled.
In relation to specialist registrar training, I was, as the current chairman of the Specialist Training Authority, a little surprised to read the proposal to establish a medical education standards board to replace the current Specialist Training Authority and the Joint Committee on Postgraduate Education in General Practice. Nevertheless, although I welcome the proposal to establish a board with a wider representation from the professions, the NHS and the lay public, I hope that the Minister will agree that an opportunity will be provided to those currently responsible for running the two competent authorities on postgraduate medical education to take part.
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Patel, for his authoritative thinking about some of these issues. As he will be aware, all the concerns about registrar training and training for particular specialties are being looked at by the overall workforce planning initiative of the NHS. As I understand it from the document, it is proposed that there should be 1,000 more specialist registrars by 2004 and those will be targeting key specialties. That will obviously deliver a further acceleration in the number of consultants later in the decade.
As I said in the Statement, one of the advantages which those who have written the Statement and worked on it in government have experienced is the enormously co-operative and collaborative part played by the medical profession and the different specialists who have taken part in developing that plan. As I also said when repeating the Statement, the Government regard that as the beginning, not the end, of that process. It is our intention that this matter should be taken forward on a collaborative basis.
Lord Clement-Jones: My Lords, those of us who hold at heart the best interests of the NHS and, indeed, do not believe that private medicine is the route for its salvation will support the broad thrust of the plan before us today. There will be some disappointment, however, in terms of the treatment of older people, as my noble friend indicated, and the failure to accept the recommendations on personal care.
There is one particular issue in addition to that in terms of the limits on means testing for those entitled to accommodation costs in nursing and residential homes. Will the noble Baroness comment on that? There is also a considerable gap in terms of the treatment of those in hospices. There seems to be no mention of palliative or terminal care. That is an essential part of our health and social care. I wonder why that particular gap should exist.
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, invites me to repeat what I said in reply to the two noble Lords who spoke first. The Government are making an unprecedented new investment over the next three years in improving old people's services by making them more responsive and more fairly funded. The Government's investment will
I shall have to write to the noble Lord on the question of hospices. I too am not familiar with any detailed recommendations on that work but I recognise its importance. If there are proposals in the report which I have not yet read about or ancillary proposals, I shall write to the noble Lord.
Lord Ashley of Stoke: My Lords, is my noble friend aware that the Government deserve warmest congratulations on a highly constructive and tremendously impressive set of proposals? She must have been very proud to announce them. They are great.
I have just one reservation. Is my noble friend aware that there is a great deal of anxiety among certain disabled people about charging for personal care, mentioned earlier? In point of fact, there is no real difference between nursing care and personal care because people need that personal care because of their sickness or disability. There is no real difference whatever. Will the Government reconsider that point?
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, I am grateful to my noble friend for his first comments. I was very proud to be able to repeat the Statement. As the noble Lord, Lord Strathclyde, said, I realise that I have walked into a situation which should properly be for the noble Lord, Lord Hunt, given the enormous amount of work which he has done in this field in the past two years. It is a great privilege for me because, as the Statement said, this is part of the fundamental principles of a civilised society: to try to make the reforms of the health service work in the way which this outline report will now do when it is developed in detail. The Government's reputation will last on this for many generations.
On the point about charging people, I must repeat to my noble friend the point which I made to the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones. The Government decided that while making a major investment in the care of old people, which goes beyond that recommended by the Royal Commission, it was not the best use of resources to try to demarcate in the way which I hoped I explained earlier between the types of care being offered, one category being personal care and the other being nursing care.
I know that that is not entirely satisfactory and may be difficult to implement on the ground. But if we identify those services which are offered free as those being offered by registered nurses in whatever environment and surroundings they offer those services, then that is a major step forward which I know my noble friend will welcome.
Lord Renton: My Lords, I too hope that these proposals will succeed. There is one proposal which I do not think the noble Baroness mentioned but which was mentioned on television this morning; namely, that newly qualified consultants employed within the National Health Service should for the first seven years not take private patients. If that is not the proposal, that is splendid.
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, the reason that I shook my head is that perhaps the noble Lord, Lord Renton, was not here when I gave a very detailed answer to that point when it was raised on an earlier question. I shall be delighted to repeat it. It seems that I am invited not to repeat it.
Lord Renton: My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Baroness for that assurance.
Baroness Jay of Paddington: My Lords, I think that the noble Lord has misunderstood on both occasions. The point I was making was that I had answered the questions about the way in which consultants would be asked to work only for the health service immediately after they qualified. I was not responding to the point that the television programme was inaccurate. As far as the noble Lord described it, the television programme was accurate.
Baroness Greengross: My Lords, I welcome the plans and the report and I thank the noble Baroness for repeating the Statement. I want to make two points.
Noble Lords: Order, order!

Avoid or Reverse Accelerated Aging by Eating Meat, Butter, and Whole Dairy
Accelerated aging is a catchall term that comprises the outward manifestations of aging (wrinkles, flab, thinning hair), as well as weight gain and disease. You can reverse accelerated aging. I know because I did it myself.
My goal as real food advocate is to share what I've learned in fifteen years of writing, researching, and being a guinea pig in my own program. My diet consists of foods that can be picked, gathered, milked, hunted, or fished, that are grown or raised in a clean environment, and which haven't undergone any science fiction processing. For breakfast, I eat a spoonful of coconut oil, a spoonful of cod liver oil, and a spoonful of Activator X, which is the sacred butter from grass grazing cows that is rich in vitamins K, A, and D. I also eat two eggs, and usually steel cut oats with a tablespoon of regular organic butter, chopped nuts, berries, and whole milk or half and half. Before 8 a.m., I've eaten more fat than many people eat in an entire day . . . or week. (At breakfast, I also drink ten to fourteen ounces of raw green veggie juice with spirulina and chlorella mixed into it, and I'm a big advocate of eating your veggies!)
I've been eating fat, including a pound of butter a week, for so long that I'm always surprised when people talk about eating low-fat. Even though extremes like the low-fat diet have caused a lot of damage to our collective health, people still embrace them. The latest fad is the raw vegan diet, and I can't think of any culture that subsisted on this diet. Actually, the impoverished people among whom I lived in India back in the 1960s ate a vegan diet, and they were emaciated and riddled with congenital and degenerative diseases. Lately, in addition to unraveling the misconceptions about fat, I'm seriously concerned about the vegan trend. I think it might be helpful for people to understand how extreme diets get started. The low fat diet is a perfect illustration.
Around the time that the first Boomer was born, our medical community embraced the so‑called lipid hypothesis: the belief that elevated blood cholesterol levels were a risk factor for heart disease, and that blood cholesterol levels were elevated by eating cholesterol-laden foods and saturated fat. The lipid hypothesis vilified historically consumed saturated fats, promoted the consumption of processed polyunsaturated vegetable oils, and instigated the low-fat diet. These three factors instigated the introduction of thousands of factory products into our food supply, thus dramatically increasing collective accelerated aging.
Since the end of World War II, the food industry has steadily made people sicker, fatter and more depressed. At the same time, the diet and drug industries have stepped in to reap the profits. People stopped eating what I call a historic diet of real, whole, living food (including fat) and started eating the factory products proffered by the food industry, poisoning themselves in the process. Once sick and fat, they were easily convinced to diet and take drugs.
While the vast majority of Boomers bought into the medical advice not to eat fat, my grandma, a Polish immigrant with a third grade education, continued to tell me that eggs were the perfect food. She cooked in butter and chugged olive oil out of the bottle whenever she needed to "fix herself up." She never ate factory food, never dieted, and rarely took drugs.
Because of her influence, I turned away from the low-fat diet, cholesterol lowering drugs, and dead factory food products. I embraced the historic diet of real, whole, living foods.
I'm not the only one to rebel against low-fat/low-cholesterol diet. And to see the power of real food—and fats—just look around you. There's a division of the classes occurring that has less to do with money and more to do with personal choice. Increasingly, two distinct groups are emerging, and the contrast is especially startling among Boomers. One group is comprised of overweight, depressed, sick eaters of factory-food products who constantly diet, rely on a cocktail of OTC and prescription drugs, believe in the low fat diet, and are in a general free fall to decrepitude. Then there are the eaters of historic, organic, real food who don't diet, avoid taking drugs, are generally healthy, sexy, and happy, and have avoided accelerated aging.
I fully get that the vegan argument centers on animal cruelty. I'm an animal lover. But loving animals does not change human physiology. The human body is dynamic, which means that it's constantly breaking down and building back up again. If you break down more than you build back up, you will age faster. The raw vegan diet is launching devotees into accelerated aging, because it does not provide building materials. The human body does not use vegetables and fruits to make hormones, neurotransmitters, or structures like muscles and bones. Humans lack the enzymes that herbivores have to convert plants into complete proteins, which are necessary for rebuilding. In addition to protein, we need fats. As you grow older, depriving your body of crucial building materials is, in effect, suicidal.
Fats make hormones, and what I call "happy neurotransmitters," as well as many other structures in the body; cholesterol is used for repair in every cell of the human body. As we age, we need more cholesterol because we need more repair.
My program, outlined in my two books Death by Supermarket: The Fattening, Dumbing Down, and Poisoning of America andHealthy Sexy Happy: A Thrilling Journey to the Ultimate You, consists of eating a balanced diet of real, whole, living food, never dieting, taking drugs only extremely judiciously, using (only) bioidentical hormone replacement, exercising regularly, cultivating a meditation practice (no matter your religious beliefs), sleeping eight hours a night, avoiding toxic exposure in food, products, environment, and medicine, and maintaining a healthy, active sex life . . . which is possible only if you do the other things!
Om Shanti!

Many people assume that stress is an inescapable part of life. When severe anxiety strikes, however, the harmful effects can often be quite devastating. If you find that you are regularly facing a battle with anxiety, you could benefit from the information this article has to offer. Read below to learn how you can find relief.
You must go to the doctor if you suffer from anxiety. Given the progress of both medication and treatment options, many possibilities exist that will help you treat your anxiety. So get the proper treatment by making time for a doctor visit.
Anxiety, oftentimes, will interrupt normal breathing patterns, but by changing the way you breathe, you can help yourself regain control of the situation. Count in your head while breathing and allow relaxing feelings to come. To get results faster, practice these techniques in a quiet area.
If you suffer from chronic anxiety, along with millions of others, you should pay a visit to your doctor. With the advances in medication and treatments, there are lots of options available to you for treating this condition. Set aside time to go to the doctor, so you can get the correct treatment.
Laughter can be a cure for anxiety because it releases endorphins that reduce anxiety. Find a funny movie to watch, call a friend who can make you laugh or read a funny book that will make you laugh for some free therapy.
Self discipline is a great way to control your emotions. Having control of your emotions can help you to thwart off anxiety attacks and minimize their effect on you. Letting your negative emotions control you just feeds your anxiety and increases the frequency and severity of your attacks. Learn to react rationally and not let your emotions get the better of you.
Sometimes, people that have a lot of anxiety start to crave salt often. This happens because your body actually needs salt and is asking you to consume it. Do not add sodium, which is often responsible for hypertension, to your diet without the advice of a qualified physician.
Find someone trustworthy. Discuss your anxiety with this person when you can. Don't keep your feelings bottled up inside; it can make a big difference to be able to confide in a reliable person. When you bottle things up you feel worse about yourself.
Eating a nutritious diet will help you stay healthier, because you are more prone to anxiety attacks when you are feeling hungry or run down. Avoid junk foods because the sugar or caffeine in them will give you a high, followed by a crash.
Don't bottle up your feelings of anxiety; talk to somebody – a doctor, a friend, or a family member – about your troubles. Bottling up your thoughts and emotions will only contribute to your problems. Voicing your feelings can help you feel better and decrease your anxiety.
Without the proper guidance or medical support, anxiety can control your life. As you understand that it's merely a mental state you can adjust by making positive changes in your daily life, you could begin walking the road leading to recovery. Take note of the tips in this article and move onward with an open mind.
Amino acids can really help your anxiety. A lot of individuals notice that their bodies are unable to produce sufficient serotonin if their diet is lacking in key nutrients. There are many published works that discuss treatment of anxiety with non-prescription supplements.

The permanent anti fog infusion process that goes into the Zeal Polarized Tramline Goggles is actually part of the lens, rather than an exterior treatment, so it won't wipe off or fade away with wear. The polarized lens, well that's just icing on the proverbial cake or powder on the mountain, as it were, making the Tramline an ideally versatile option for changing or unpredictable weather conditions. Zeal designed the Tramline to perfectly fit an average sized face. The anti fog qualities of the lens also allowed Zeal to give these babies a sleek, low profile frame which results in a wide field of vision, allowing you to see clearly those endless lines around you.

My husband Hugh, Night #65, Critically Injured, Now in Rehab
Kathleen from Marri's Pizza, without them this would have never happened. EAT THERE! You won't reget it! Photo Courtesy Of www.lbreport.com
Hugh and I. Photo, courtesy of www.lbreport.com
Hugh and and my life long best friend..sister, Andrea.
Hugh and owner of one of the local businesses.
Hugh and Bill Pearl of www.lbreport.com
One of my best friends, Melissa, selling raffle tickets. Thank you for your endless support my Angel.
Hugh and his miracle worker, Stephanie. His physical therapist. She is a gem and cannot thank her enough for her work, along with her team of other therapists. She may say, "Hugh is the one doing it", but I often remind her, SHE is the one who drives him, and knows her stuff to get him better! xoxoxo
I know I haven't written in a while. But to be honest, I am so burned out, it's all I can do is come home after working in the mornings, being at the hospital all day, come home, do more work, eat, and put my feet up for a little while. Yeah.. poor pitiful me.
Anyhow, some updates!!!
FIRST OFF.. A VERY BIG THANK YOU to EVERYONE that participated on the 2nd HUGH'S BITE NITE at Marri's Pizza last night. Much to many surprises, Hugh was able to attend. We had to hire Long Beach Yellow Cab wheelchair van to pick him up and bring him back. I of course was very nervous but it all worked out! Thank you to a generous donation that came in, this allowed Hugh to be there. There were soooooooo many surprise faces, tears and happy moments!
Hugh was greeted by so many well wishers! People who saw him get hit in the intersection, people from all over the community, all my friends and family, some Facebook friends I have never met in "real life", and Twitter friends, and SO MANY OLD SCHOOL FRIENDS. You ALL are so amazing, and have become a special part in my life and will remain in my hearts forever! Some of the staff at his REHAB facility showed up!! Thank you Susan, Rachel and Stephanie!!! Of course their families and of course all my ANGELS were there.. .ANDREA, KIM AND MELISSA. xoxoxoxoxo
Hugh was greeted by the owner for the one of the businesses who told Hugh about what he saw. Let's just say, I wasn't prepared for what he told Hugh, and it took me back and wish I hadn't heard it. Hugh cried when he said the kids at the bus stop were traumatized by what they saw. Apparently Hugh flew and was thrown up in the air, in 3 circles before landing where he landed, which was in front of the bus stop by Taco Bell. He must have been hit pretty damn hard, well we already knew this by his injuries. You aren't injured like Hugh was with just someone creeping through in intersection. He FLEW and his bike was hit so hard it was down way down by Taco Bell's drive way.
Special VERY BIG THANK YOU to Bill Pearl of LBREPORT.COM for their continued support and beautifully written article. Thank you Kathleen and the workers of Marri's Pizza for doing a spectacular job and most delicious food!!! Melissa Keyes (one of my best friends) who of course organized this and the VERY SUCCESSFUL RAFFLE DRAWING (winners WILL be announced tomorrow!).
Ok, about HUGH! Since the last update, more strengthening and more transfers. Hugh was seen today by the orthopedic office and we got the GO AHEAD on 100% WEIGHT BEARING which means. HE CAN START WALKING. They had him up on the parallel bars, and even in a walker taking a few steps! His hardest part is getting him up right now. No strength, but his miracle worker Stephanie is working on him with this. His orthopedic doctor wants Hugh now to be seen with (Dr. Warden) the sports medicine doctor (just another term for specialized orthopedics) about his left knee and also worried about his shoulder/rotator cuff, needing an MRI and follow up. This will be done tomorrow. We already know surgery needs to be done on the left knee area, but something doesn't seem quite right maybe with the shoulder/rotator cuff. You are asking, why wasn't this done before, well, because, with the amount of injuries and broken bones that Hugh had, first things first.
So, I will update the blog tomorrow night (providing I am not worn out), about what Dr. Warden (the shoulder/knee doc) says. Until then....WALKING WALKING WALKING so Hugh can come home!
Dear Hugh!
I LOVE YOU!!!! To be honest, I thought by now, you would be home. I am more unrealistic as you know, but it's getting closer.. I can feel it. Last night you, I was just so darn proud of you.

Green Is The Real Color Of Love This Valentine's Day
It's just ten days until Valentine's Day! This year you can be with the one you love, love the one you're with, and love the planet all at the same time. We have our guide to celebrating Valentine's Day in a sustainable way in plenty of time for you to plan something special. The theme? It's all about putting a new spin on old traditions. Image Source: Knottinghillinteriors.com Flowers, chocolates and jewelry are classic (if somewhat unimaginative) gifts. If you want to go the traditional route though, you can give it a modern eco-friendly twist. Ordering flowers online is a tradition, but it doesn't always work out. Because of huge demand, flowers often end up being shipped in from all over the world, resulting in a major carbon footprint. Overworked stressed-out flower chains can often end up sending out less-than-stellar product too – just look at the Garden of Discontent tag over at The Consumerist blog. This doesn't mean flowers are off the table: just get them from a different source. Visit a local florist, or pick up a bouquet at a nearby farmer's market. You can even demonstrate your commitment through greenery by presenting your loved one with a potted plant that will continue to flourish long after the holiday has passed. Image Source: Motherearthliving.com We've all eaten our way through a box of drugstore chocolates at one point or another, whether we were spending Valentine's Day with a date or alone on the couch in our sweatpants. But we deserve better! This year, buy certified organic chocolate that is ethically and responsibly sourced: we love Dagoba chocolate, as well as pretty much anything from Trader Joe's. When it comes to jewelry you could go to a chain store and get a perfectly serviceable piece of jewelry that is mass-produced. Or, you could go to an independent jeweler and get something hand-crafted and totally unique. Not only will you be supporting local commerce, you'll be getting a gift that is incredibly special for your loved one. Our neighbors down the street at Tide and Moon Jewelry make some really lovely handcrafted pieces, and you can also get wildly original handmade jewelry in the retail area of Relish Cafe. Image Source: Mattandyumi.com Speaking of Relish Café, it's the perfect place to have a romantic brunch with your loved one in a sustainable setting. Or, if date night is more your speed, you can grab a romantic dinner and cocktails at the Island's noted sustainable dining spot, The Waterfront Restaurant. This year, celebrate all of the classic traditions of Valentine's Day without sacrificing your sustainable ideals. After all, every day that we live a little more sustainably may give us another day down the line to love the planet.

To make it manageable, we have stuck to the blues and a bit of rock ( Buddy Guy qualifies for both). Sorry to fans of geniuses of extraordinary fusion technicians like Steve Vai or Joe Satriani.
Ranking the choices would be a losing proposition, leading only to usage of the words "what," "who," "moron" and "that is the wrong order", in my online comment area. So consider these in no particular order, although I'm feeling pretty darn good about putting Jimi Hendrix at the top as the greatest ever – and that means the top of them all.
# 1 Jimi Hendrix No one rewrote the rule book so quickly and thoroughly. What he accomplished in four extraordinary years before dying at 27 can't even be fathomed.
# 2 Jimmy Page You can tell from the first Led Zeppelin album, released in 1969, that this was a man with a vision. It's hard to think of anyone who has explored the dynamics of the guitar – electric and acoustic – with such inspiration.
# 3 Duane Allman His shocking slide runs and muscular blues licks fueled the Allman Brothers before he, too, left us all too soon.
# 4 Buddy Guy Claims Clapton, while in Cream, was only doing what he had been doing for years. You don't want to think about how many people "borrowed" from Buddy.
# 5 Stevie Ray Vaughan Who took the twelve bar blues and the blues scale to new heights.
# 6 Roy Buchanan Who played the blues from deep in his heart, took his life. The greatest telecaster player ever.
# 7 Carlos Santana Quite apart from his pioneering the blend of rock and Latin jazz, his beautifully structured, ringing solos bear constant revisiting.
# 8 Albert King, was not technically considered a great guitar player, but someone that everyone borrowed from, and a blues artist supreme.
# 9 Frank Zappa for a man with a rejection of all distinctions in moral or religious value and a willingness to repudiate all previous theories of morality or religious belief sense of humor, there was wit, beauty and a wide scope of musical knowledge in his playing.
#10 Eric Johnson Who plays everything with stunning ease and precision.
It was hard to come up with 12 guitarists. My musical interests are so narrow, all I usually can think of is about half of the 12 guitar players above. Anyway, we are talking about great guitarists. Guitarists like BB King play such sweet licks that some may consider him a viable candidate, but I think his real strong point and main instrument is his voice, and he uses his guitar to play a few licks in between. He sure has a sweet voice to go with his guitar playing though.
When I listen to Rockit 88 fm, which is a blues radio station in my area (no commercials), I hear so many excellent blues guitar players that literally makes me stop what I'm doing and go see who is playing on the radio/computer right now, only to find out I have never heard of them before.
For a lot of guitar players, these guys taught us. They were our guitar teachers, practically giving us personalized guitar lessons without them knowing it. Studying them everyday without the modern conveniences available to learn to play guitar. Easy it was not. But it stuck in our brains like some sort of permanent growth. Let me know who you think should be on my list. who you would like to take guitar lessons from. GuitarPlayersCenter.com

Not too long ago, I shared a video I had made for Hunter (7) to help him in learning sight reading of music notes.
In that first video, I started off with the notes of the fourth octave of the piano as written on the treble clef. For the future videos I was going to simply do the 2nd octave, 3rd octave, 5th octave, etc.
But I ran into a slight problems with that organizational format.
Mainly? There is more than one way to write a note.
If you look at the above comparison, they both are actually the exact same note on the piano: note D in the 4th octave.
The treble and base clef do overlap like this, I wanted to show both ways to write the note, and it wasn't as easy and seamless to do that when I was organizing the videos by octave.
I instead decided to simply have the videos organized by notes.
So, the first video shows all of the C's and E's. The second, D's and F's. The third, G's, A's, and B's.
I felt it might also be easier to memorize that way.
So here are those three videos. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful.
Notes C & E:
Notes D & F:
Sharing is caring! Thanks for sharing this post with your friends.

I mean nowadays you find some kinds of these products displayed in big supermarkets with strange unusual colors, the tomato is yellow instead of red, the peeper is purple instead of green ...etc
sort by best latest
NO, it is not nor will it ever be! Read the following article and learn:
When a study on cell phones ten years ago came out from a company's own paid scientists that said cell phones are cancerous to the human being, that scientist was fired. GM food is the same way and we really don't know all the implications yet. But do you see my friend how ignorant people choose to be? Your question has gone unanswered and in the 'latest' list instead of people jumping to the chance to enquire and be informed.
So that everyone understands, GM foods are all those (including meat & fish) whereby the gene of an animal is taken and placed in another animal or plant to make it resilient. Tomatoes have genes from herring, potatoes from scorpions, pigs fromhu
I actually have read an article recently (published by the Institute of Science in Society) that gmo crops have done worse in comparison to non-gmo crops through the drought this year.
I've also seen pictures & articles from studies done on animals - that rats were fed strictly gmo corn & developed LARGE tumors within months. Same w/ a main ingredient found in pesticides used.
I don't have the facts in front of me, but everrrrything that I've read & seen about gmo produce has been very scary & just plain bad for our health. I laugh when I think about eating "non-gmo foods". Years ago, it was just... food. :)
I don't like the fact that they don't disclose that you are buying these items. It should be made perfectly clear that you're getting genetically altered foods. We try to raise and harvest as much of our own as possible, I like to know where my food comes from.

Moneychangers protest insecurity
Moneychangers protest insecurity
JALALABAD (PAN): Moneychangers in Jalalabad on Monday protested over the worsening security situation in eastern Nangarhar province.
A moneychanger was shot dead by unidentified gunmen inside his shop in Jalalabad on Sunday evening. The attackers managed to flee, prompting the protest.
Their lives were insecure in Jalalabad, where assailants made good their escape after gunning down their colleague, deputy head of Moneychangers' Union, Haji Ghaljai, told Pajhwok Afghan News
A moneychanger, Khan Wali, said their family members were abducted from shops and released on payment of ransom
If the government did not take any step to arrest insecurity, they would be left with no option but to close their shops, he warned.

Alumni Spotlight | Sue Perdue Duff '85
Sue Perdue Duff '85
Sue Perdue Duff grew up hearing about Bridgewater College. A member of the Church of the Brethren, she came to campus one weekend for a youth event and loved it. She also chose Bridgewater to take advantage of the smaller campus and community.
She fondly remembers interacting with her professors and fellow students. She majored in sociology with a concentration in business and was actively involved campus activities, working in the admissions office and assisting with new student orientation.
After her graduation in 1985, she married her college sweetheart, Hal Duff '84. They moved to Winchester, Va., where she worked for a retirement community for eight years. After staying home with her two daughters for a time, she started volunteering at their elementary school, followed by substitute teaching. Duff is now in her 17th year as a substitute teacher for Frederick County. "From a different classroom each day to long term positions, I appreciate the challenge of different age groups, classrooms and disciplines. I learn something new every day, and find that 30 years later, I am still using my liberal arts education while working in the classroom," she said.
Duff and her husband return to campus often to attend football games, catch up with friends and see what's new at BC. As a current member of the BC Alumni Association board of directors, she enjoys connecting with her fellow alumni and assisting with events. She continues to treasure the friendships she made at Bridgewater and has kept alive to this day. She commented, "Bridgewater College for me has always been more than the academics. It is the entire learning experience offered by the College. While at BC, I gained confidence in public speaking, learned to live and work with a variety of personalities, and honed my organizational skills. All of that, combined with the core academics, prepared me for life and work beyond the campus."

Pioneering Bitcoin hardware company to offer full refunds for all chip orders
It appears that Butterfly Labs isn't the only company having trouble making and selling specialized chips designed only to mine for bitcoins crazy fast. As Bitcoin buffs may already know, another rival firm, Avalon, has been having recent trouble getting its hardware off the ground.
Yifu Guo dropped out of New York University to start the company and Avalon was the first to ship a consumer-grade ASIC miner earlier in 2013. But while the company shipped around 1,000 miners earlier this year, it's struggled considerably since.
In a Monday e-mail sent to supporters and customers, Avalon wrote that it was offering a "full refund in bitcoin for all the Avalon Generation One orders made on any date." To be clear, that constitutes bulk orders of 10,000 chips or more—each chip has processing power of 280 megahashes per second. The company sold those orders for 780 bitcoins or over $101,000 at present exchange rates. Avalon's earlier miners, which are powered by these same chips, used hundreds of chips running in parallel in a single box.
