Feeling successful and prosperous today. The ongoing lifestyle change continues to flourish, and the renos we have recently decided on are being accomplished too! Though I may be tempted to rest and revel in my triumph, instead, I've been harnessing this energy and using it to fuel the pursuit of larger goals. Reaching one plateau of achievement after the other makes me feel confident enough to push and strive for the next.
A small taste of success can often whets the appetite for larger accomplishments. Timidity or a sense that we do not deserve to achieve our biggest goals can compel us to focus on smaller aims or pursue only those opportunities that we are familiar with. The smallest triumph, however, can effectively demonstrate that we are equipped and ready to follow the path of our dreams. Small successes increases our confidence in our skills and ability to handle responsibility. When we look back on what we have achieved, we�re are definitely more apt to optimistically think about our expectations. As a result, the goals we set for ourselves will be more challenging but also more richly rewarding. Tasting success today will motivate us to seek greater heights of accomplishment.
It is always tough when we see someone we care about struggling, in pain, or hurting and feel like we need to fix it or do something to help ease their troubles. While they may want our help, it is important to keep in mind that what they're really wanting and needing is not necessarily your advice, but rather your presence in the moment, your undivided attention, an ear, a shoulder, to lean on, since it can be all too easy to get carried away and say or do more than is really needed. Even though we may want to do more, we do not have to do anything other than to be a good friend Allowing ourselves to let go and simply exist in the present with another person may actually provide a greater amount of comfort and support than we could ever imagine.
The more we are attuned to what our loved ones are feeling, the more capable we are of truly giving what is best for them in their hour of need. Keeping things simple helps us give the part of ourselves that is capable of the greatest amount of compassion�open ears and an understanding heart.
Even though we have our present health issues I completely believe and have faith in that we can without a doubt obtain and maintain superior health.
I know you're all thinking how is that possible with all the health issues I have. But it is with out question a possibility!
Super, superior, flawless, impeccable, health doesn't mean we have to be some invincible mythical god. What it does mean simply is that the body's immune system is working to its fullest potential. And it's as easy as learning to fill every cell receptor with the right, the highest micro-nutrient foods that meet the demands of each cell. Doing this causes the body's defenses to take on superhero qualities! This greatly reduces and limits the possibilities of becoming sick. And this changes your immunity from average to superior which greatly increases life saving attributes.
Have you not noticed that even a mild infection can hang on for weeks? Worse yet there is greater possibility that it can develop more serious consequences; developing into a hard to treat bacterial infection such as life threatening pneumonia?
Our immune systems are suppose to act as our protective guardian angels watching over our lives, protecting us from the risks around us. The same white blood cells combined with the other immune system's components that fight off infections are also there to recognize our human cells should they become abnormal and to remove them before they evolve into a life threatening tumor or cancer.
But how can our bodies provide us this life saving service if our immune systems have been compromised and broken down by abuse? Yes we have. We have abused our bodies with eating the lowest of lowest micro-nutrient foods with next to no nutritional value what so ever; high calorie, high sodium, high fat, wrong fats, high carb, refined carbs instead of complex carbs. These give us NOTHING, absolutely nothing to build the immunity armor against infections and disease that our immune systems need to keep us safe.
Today we are being exposed to more dangerous and highly infectious disease from around the globe than ever before. On top of which we have another modern epidemic affecting our population; cancer. It has become the most urgent matter that superior immunity is needed now, more than ever. It is my belief that even with the abusive damage we have done with today's modern diet, we, together can turn this around.
And I have to concur with Dr Joel Fuhrman. We are living in a time period of rapid scientific advancement and all of this new knowledge most definitely can be applied to help us live better, longer, and happier than we have in the past and than we are in the present. And I also agree whole heatedly, that exposure to more medical care, more chemical drugs, vaccines and doctors does not beget the superior immutability and that medical care is actually a part of the problem, not the solution!
When we think of preventative medicine and proper health care we have become so brainwashed and accustomed and acceptable to running to the doctor for shots, medications, and diagnostic tests. It has become our immediate thought process and sole belief system!
Initially these solutions may help Until they stop working! What then? The problem simply persists and most often worse than before, and becomes a chronic health issue and it a vicious cycle.
Why, because the complications occur because of impaired natural immunity that has resulted from a combination of deficient nutrition and medications that have degraded our body's ability to protect itself.
Not only does a weakened immune system leave us vulnerable but evidence shows that over use of antibiotics and other medications may be a contribution factor in the growth of Cancers.
So, what is the solution? There is one. Protecting Yourself with Superior Immunity!
It's no secret that losing weight can be tough, and sometimes just thinking about it can be intense. One of the keys to successful weight loss is creating a positive association with all of the hard work involved, using commitment, consistency and control, be it exercising, healthy eating, or just staying on track when face-to-face with temptations and hurdles. In fact, having a negative attitude (like saying, "I hate it...") can actually make things harder!
"When we say we hate something, we refuse to do it, try it, or 'stretch' ourselves. Hate equals limits. So, when are you going to stop limiting yourself?"
"Now that I read this post, I have to admit that I have done the same thing. Sometimes when I get frustrated with something, I just say I hate it and don't want to do it anymore. I think I am going to stop limiting myself starting this week. I am going to make this a challenge for me. If I stop saying that I hate doing something, I might find the positives in doing whatever it is that I "hate" doing."
It's incredible how powerful a positive mindset can be especially when it comes to the seemingly impossible physical tasks and mental hurdles. So many of us are used to quitting before we have a chance to succeed just so we can say that we never failed. Well, you know what? Hmm it seems that non-accomplishment can be an essential tool for success after all!
WOOT! WOOT! My enthusiasm for pursuits are running higher than normal these days! I know that the focus of my efforts may seem vague to others, but I love pushing myself and applying my efforts to the tasks that are important to me. I actually find myself crafting and then initiating plans that are out of sheer spontaneity. My energy levels are continuing to skyrocket, leaving me feeling confident that I WILL now be able to complete my objectives in the time I allot myself. I'm feeling vivacious and optimistic.
You do know that we seldom tire when working on projects that enthuse us because the copious amounts of energy we devote to the tasks before us are returned to us in the form of increased stamina and determination? This alternating transference of vigor ensures that we not only feel positive about things that are unfolding around us in the present but also optimistic about the manner in which our plans will pan out in the future. As we draw energy from our enthusiasm and exhilaration of emotions, we find that we have seemingly bottomless stores of endurance available to us. We can thus apply ourselves wholeheartedly and vivaciously to the duties we deem important without taxing ourselves unduly or throwing our lives into imbalance. The eagerness with which you immerse yourself in your passions will help you accomplish more than you might otherwise have thought possible!

One of the scandals of our age is the behavior of some Catholics in public life who are unfaithful to the teaching of our Church. They demonstrate the danger warned of in the last great ecumenical council of our Church, Vatican II. The Council Fathers, in their document on the Christian mission - Lumen Gentium, "Light to the Nations" - used a phrase which has been repeated many times since then in numerous teachings from the contemporary Popes and is a favorite of our own U.S. Bishops. They warned of the "separation between faith and life." They called it one of the "greatest errors of our age". And, it is being advanced with the assistance of Minority Leader, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. Her letter of June 10th, 2014, to the heroic Archbishop of San Francisco, Salvatore Cordileone, (the name means lion heart) is but one more example in a long line of arrogance and error she has shown over many years.

WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - One of the scandals of our age is the behavior of some Catholics in public life who are unfaithful to the teaching of our Church. They demonstrate the danger warned of in the last great ecumenical council of our Church, Vatican II.
The Council Fathers, in their document on the Christian mission - Lumen Gentium, "Light to the Nations" - used a phrase which has been repeated many times since then in numerous teachings from the contemporary Popes and is a favorite of our own U.S. Bishops.
They warned of the "separation between faith and life." They called it one of the "greatest errors of our age". And, it is being advanced with the assistance of Minority Leader, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.
Her letter of June 10th, 2014, to the heroic Archbishop of San Francisco, Salvatore Cordileone, (the name means lion heart) is but one more example in a long line of arrogance and error she has shown over many years.
Nancy Pelosi was corrected many times by her Bishop. Yet, she persists in a flagrant disregard for the teaching of the Catholic Church. She also demonstrates an intention to try and mislead her fellow Catholics about the unquestionably clear teaching of that Church.
She has the arrogance to pretend that in openly dissenting from this teaching she is somehow acting as a faithful Catholic. This was evident in her shameful interview with Eleanor Clift in Newsweek magazine back on Dec. 21, 2009 which completely misstated the teaching of the Church on conscience and freedom.
It prompted then San Francisco Archbishop George H. Niederauerto respond with a well written piece entitled "Free Will, Conscience and Moral Choice: What Catholics believe"
Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly rejected the teaching of the Catholic Church and the Natural Moral Law on the fundamental Right to Life. Now, she has added to her error a rejection of the teaching of the Catholic Church on marriage as solely between one man and one woman, intended for life, open to life and formative of family.
Members of what I have called a homosexual equivalency movement insist that there is a moral equivalency between homosexual relationships and marriage. They demand that a legal equivalency be given to homosexual relationships and marriage in the civil law.
Nancy Pelosi champions this mistaken position. She has joined with others in openly dissenting from the teaching of the Church and asks Bishops to do the same.
Like the teaching of the Catholic Church on the dignity of every human life, to insist that marriage is between one man and one woman is not simply a religious position; it is affirmed by the Natural Moral Law which can be known by all men and women through the exercise of reason. It is also accepted across cultures.
To state this bluntly is not to be 'anti-gay'; it is to defend marriage and the common good. To limit marriage to heterosexual couples is not discriminatory. Homosexual couples cannot bring into existence what marriage intends by its very definition.
We need a massive Marriage Movement in the United States of America. Such a movement is already global. I will attend the March for Marriage https://www.marriagemarch.org/ on June 19, 2014 in Washington, DC. I sincerely hope it is the seed of just such a movement.
In January of 2013 the China Post reported that over 200,000 people marched in front of Taiwan's Presidential Office. They stood for the irrefutable truth that marriage is between one man and one woman.
"God created human beings as male and female. Only the union of a man and a woman can create the next generation, and the ability to create offspring is an important function of a family," said one of the participants, 40-year-old Ann Huang, who joined the rally with her friends.
In the network which sponsored the March to Defend Marriage was a group calling itself the Coalition for the Happiness of Our Next Generation.
Yu Yen-hung, one of the founders of the organization, who told the China Post, "We worry that this alternative family formation idea will confuse children's concepts on education and sexual identity. Therefore, we decided to stand up and fight against this bill that will affect the next generation."
Of course, that worry is a real one and their concern is correct. Children have a right to a mother and a father. Intact marriages, between one man and one woman, are the foundation of a family. Family is the first cell of a healthy society.
Massive crowds of people, from every segment of society, are gathering around the world to defend the truth about marriage against those who seek to undermine this vital social institution. Their cause is noble and just.
On Sunday, March 24, 2013, hundreds of thousands of French citizens marched along the Champs-Elysees Avenue, united in the same noble cause. They defended marriage and the family and society founded upon it against those who oppose marriage and seek to restructure civil society by legislative or judicial fiat.
They faced tear gas and clubs from the riot police representing the French Socialist regime. They were courageous and unwilling to back down. They sang La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem, and called for the resignation of the President. They are led by an association called La Manif Pour Tous (Protest for Everyone).
There were similar marches in Brussels, Bucharest, Madrid, Warsaw and Rome. The propagandized press reported that these people were "against gay marriage" and "right wing".
However, they were marching FOR MARRIAGE. The press minimized their numbers. The crowds were massive - and the movement is just in its infancy.
Many media reports refused to report accurately because these events did not support their own social and politically charged agenda.
Though the Marriage Marchers came from every segment of society, and reflected a wide range of ages, ethnic identities and political persuasions, they were collectively labeled as conservatives in much of the international press.
The propaganda press uses Orwellian newspeak to fuel caricatures against those who defend marriage as solely between one man and one woman. Many in the Press oppose marriage while purporting to expand its definition. This is sophistry.
Like propagandists of the past, the propaganda press of this age attempts to frame public perception by referring to those who defend marriage as being against what they call 'marriage equality'.
Homosexual and lesbian partnerships are incapable of achieving the ends of marriage.
Marriage is ontologically between one man and one woman, intended for life, and formative of family. It has been inscribed by the Divine Architect into our moral and natural genetic code. Truth does not change, people and cultures do; sometimes for good and sometimes for evil.
Marriage is the first society into which children are meant to be born, learn to be fully human, grow in virtue, flourish and take their role in families and communities. We must not be afraid to make the claim that children have a right to a mother and a father. They do. The marchers in China, in France and all over the world defend the rights of children to a mother and father.
Of course we should all care about the single parent family and the many broken homes which characterize this age. However, their existence in our midst does not change the normative nature of marriage as necessary for a stable and healthy society.
Intact marriages and families are the glue of a healthy and happy social order. We need to be a visible, palpable reflection of this truth about marriage and family in our own lives. To live a faithful marriage is now counter-cultural.
Our convictions and claims concerning marriage are not outdated notions of a past era but pave the path to the future. Nor is our position defending marriage as between one man and one woman simply a religious position. We insist upon the existence of a Natural Moral Law which can be known by all men and women through the exercise of reason.
The Natural Moral Law is the ground upon which every great civilization has been built. It is the source for every great and authentic human and civil rights movement. The Natural Law gives us the moral norms we need to build societies and govern ourselves. It should inform our positive law or we become lawless and devolve into anarchy. We are on the path to just such an unfortunate end without a serious response from concerned citizens.
There is a growing intolerance of those who defend marriage as solely between one man and one woman. It threatens our rights to free expression, association and political participation. This is reflected in efforts to curtail or even censor our vocal and public defense of this objective truth about marriage and the family.
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi professes to be a Catholic Christian. Yet, she openly rejects the truth as taught by her Church concerning the nature of marriage and the family founded upon it. She is in open dissent and causing scandal to the faithful.
The position of the Catholic Church on the nature of marriage is clear. Nancy Pelois is not enlightened she is in error. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Catholic Church explained it well in 2003:
"The Church 's teaching on marriage and on the complementarity of the sexes reiterates a truth that is evident to right reason and recognized as such by all the major cultures of the world. Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It was established by the Creator with its own nature, essential properties and purpose."
"No ideology can erase from the human spirit the certainty that marriage exists solely between a man and a woman, who by mutual personal gift, proper and exclusive to themselves, tend toward the communion of their persons. In this way, they mutually perfect each other, in order to cooperate with God in the procreation and upbringing of new human lives."
Civil institutions do not create marriage. Neither can they create some new right to marry for those who are incapable of marriage. Government has long regulated marriage for the common good. The ban on polygamy and age requirements were enforced in order to ensure that there was a mature decision at the basis of the Marriage contract. Redefining the institution of marriage is outside the authority of the State or Federal Government.
Heterosexual marriage, procreation, and the nurturing of children form the foundation for the family, and the family forms the foundation of civil society. There is an international movement being birthed - and it is about to rock the world. We are the counter culture of this age.Please come to Washington, DC on June 19, 2014.

Chainsaw 3D
bills itself as a direct sequel to the original 1974
Chain Saw Massacre
. As this is the seventh film in the series that can be a
very confusing claim.
The Texas Chainsaw
already has an official sequel,
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2
, released in 1986 and even
directed by the writer/director of the original, Tobe Hooper. Next the
franchise rights went to New Line who released
Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3
. Despite the subtitle,
this film ignores the events of the second film and places itself as an
�unofficial� follow up to TCM. After that came
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
, finally released by
Columbia pictures after sitting on a shelf for years. Allegedly, it was only distributed
to cash in on the appearances of Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey, who
were becoming famous at the time. Again part 4 disavowed the existence of parts
2 and 3, bringing the count of direct follow-ups to the first film to three.
reboot of
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
and its own prequel,
The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre: the Beginning
can be completely discounted because they recreate
an entirely new chronology, borrowing elements from the original. Both these
films were produced by Michael Bay�s Platinum Dunes. After
The Beginning
grossed less than half the amount of its predecessor;
PD announced that they would not produce a third sequel. Finally, the franchise
rights were purchased by Lionsgate (the house of Saw) who now bring us direct
sequel number four.<>>
time the filmmakers have taken the term direct sequel literally; picking up
moments after TCM left off with the police showing up at the Sawyer farm. The
house, the yard, and almost every other physical detail are painstakingly
recreated. The Sawyers have called in more kin with shotguns and a standoff ensues.
Gunnar Hansen, who played Leatherface in the original, has a cameo as Boss
Sawyer and Bill Moseley (Choptop Sawyer from TCM part 2) fills in for the
deceased Jim Siedow as the cook Drayton Sawyer. This piece of recasting is the
first slightly jarring moment of the film because it feels like a reenactment in
an episode of �Unsolved Mysteries�; something is not quite right, but
unsettlingly familiar. <>>
standoff is settled by an angry mob of locals who start shooting and then burn
the Sawyer house to the ground; killing everyone inside except for baby girl Heather,
who is abducted/adopted by two of the angry locals. Flash forward to 2012,
Heather is now grown and only becomes aware she was adopted when her biological
grandmother (who knew she was abducted but made no effort to retrieve her) dies
and leaves her a huge mansion in Texas. This is where the film comes up against
its first major problem. The movie begins in 1974 � it is now 2012, Heather
should be at least 38. The actress playing her is 26 and they dress her and all
her friends in the movie like they�re 21 (a personal pet peeve with modern
American horror films � all her friends are models). The film seems to be
hoping very hard that no one will do the math and even goes so far as to try
and cover the problem up. Newspaper headlines appear onscreen with the date of
the original massacre and deliberately cut the year out of frame.<>>
gathers her boyfriend and two other friends to drive to the Texas
mansion and rediscover her roots. Along the way they pick up a hitchhiker (also a model in label clothes) and decide to take him along, all the way to their destination. Once there it turns out that her inheritance includes her cousin, Leatherface, who has been living in
grandmother�s basement for decades. In spite of his past troubles, Grandma has allowed Leatherface to keep his arsenal of chainsaws, hooks, and other assorted cutlery. Once Leatherface appears, the movie begins
to crib liberally from the earlier films. The main group travels in a microbus
meant to echo the van in the first film, the first two kills take place by the
exact methods and order as in the original, and there�s even a �face peeling
while still alive� ala what happened to L.G. in TCM part 2. The plot then
shifts from slasher to family feud drama as Heather learns that the Mayor led
the shootout that killed her family and Leatherface is recast as her protector.
The film tries very hard to show his noble side but it�s an ill-fitting mask
for an infamous chainsaw murderer.
The bottom
line is that in spite of the assertion that this is a direct sequel,
Texas Chainsaw 3D
is part 7 in the
series. If you�re a horror lover that has stuck by horror series as they got past
about part 4; you know what you�re signing up for. I�m a big fan of the series
(the great lenticular poster really had me looking forward to this movie) and
Texas Chainsaw 3D
is far from the worst
sequel, but unfortunately its silly moments and unaddressed logic gaps largely
spoil the terror. Casual horror fans will find a few good 3D moments with a
chainsaw, but not much else in the way of gore or scares to hold their
attention. <>>

North Atlanitc Cruise , Le Harve, Brugge, Norway
Took a five day from Amsterdam to Copenhagen with stops at Brugge, Le Harve and Kristionsand (Norway)
The ship is a nice 10 year old ship. We found the crew and the wait staff very friendly. Big ship where there were all kinds of options from the cheezy bar and disco to a very nice "cigar bar" Also the nice bar all around and then public gathering center where you can hang out on the three floor above looking down.
Did the my time dining and the food was fine. As my wife said, an above average nice wedding seating dinner. Buffet was hit or miss but over all pretty good. Not many "late night" dining options.
Had a nice salt water pool and an open pool with hot tubs etc. Spa was nice. again 4 out of 5 is about right will all things concerning this ship.
In Le Harve we rented cars and went to the Normandy sights. Brugge stay was not long enough but we took the shuttle back and forth from the port to the city. Kistionsand was a quaint little town but not More much to do there.
Again, liked the boat and was nice "floating" hotel to get us to our places we wanted to go. Less

KWANZAA ~ Principle 3: UJIMA = Collective Work & Responsibility
UJIMA (Collective Work & Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brother's and sister's problems our problems and to solve them together.
I wish every person questioning my motives behind forming AAGSAR, could be instantaneously redirected to this post!:)
As a descendant of emancipated slaves, recorded as property not humans before 1865, I've had to accept the lack of historical documentation impacting my ability to trace my family lineage. As a technologist since 1999, I've been eyewitness to the evolution of The Great Digital Divide.
I was here in the Divide's early stages, when connectivity and technical knowledge was a matter of socioeconomic status and geographical location. Translated — if you were poor, a minority and/or living in a rural area opportunities to own, learn and exploit the new gadgets were little to none. You were ignored and left standing on the sideline of the "technology revolution".
I watched as technology evolved and expanded its reach, but our cultural mindset didn't. In my IT world I manage the development of world-changing technology that rarely considers a person of color as its primary end-user.
Within my community, I've witnessed brown people VOLUNTARILY "opt-out" of the digital revolution. Often quickly dismissing the opportunities this medium affords; not acknowledging its ability to level the economic playing-field nor the reality this is THE rule-stick our brown […]

Sharon Stone to Star in TNT Drama 'Agent X'
UPDATED: The Emmy and Golden Globe winner will star in the pilot from "The Bourne Identity's" William Blake Herron.
Sharon Stone is heading for the small screen.
Following prolonged negotiations, the Emmy and Golden Globe winner has been tapped to star in TNT's drama pilot Agent X, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The drama centers on an unseen person who works to protect the country and its citizens from all manner of threats by any means necessary in times of extreme crisis when traditional law and government aren't in a position to help. Created by the original founding fathers but hidden from the view of the public, there is an agent of unknown identity that is trained and ready to serve -- deployed only at the careful discretion of the vice president. The drama is described as National Treasure meets The Bourne Identity.
Stone will star as America's first female vice president, Natalie Maccabee, a woman with brains, beauty and a cool composure that belies a restless mind. After the death of her husband, a Senate candidate, Natalie opted to run in his place. After a rapid rise as a political star, she now finds herself the newly elected vice president of the United States. Initially apprehensive that her job will be ceremonial in nature, she soon learns that it comes with a top-secret duty: protecting the Constitution in times of great crisis with the aid of her Chief Steward and a secret operative designated "Agent X."
From The Bourne Identity's William Blake Herron, the action/adventure project hails from Turner Originals. Armyan Bernstein (Air Force One, Children of Men and Castle) is on board to executive produce.
STORY: TNT Orders Pilot From 'Bourne Identity' Writer
Stone earned an Oscar nomination for her role in Casino after breaking out in 1992 with Basic Instinct. The latter role earned her a Golden Globe win. On the TV side, Stone previously starred in HBO's 2001 movie If These Walls Could Talk 2 and has appeared in three episodes of The Practice, earning an Emmy for guest actress in a drama series. She also has appeared in episodes of Will & Grace, Roseanne and Law & Order: SVU.
Stone is repped by Paradigm and Binder & Associates.
If Agent X moves forward, Stone would be the latest female vice president on the small screen, joining Julia Louis-Dreyfus on HBO's Veep and Kate Burton on ABC's Scandal.

Avs retire sweater of Peter Forsberg
The return of Peter Forsberg to the ice instantly revved up the crowd.
Just like old times, even if he was wearing a suit instead of a sweater and delivering a speech, not jarring checks.
Forsberg had his No. 21 jersey retired by the Colorado Avalanche before the season opener against the Detroit Red Wings.
The team also raised a banner with his name and number to the Pepsi Center rafters Saturday night, where it will hang alongside those of Joe Sakic (19), Patrick Roy (33) and Ray Bourque (77).
''Unbelievable,'' the usually stoic Forsberg said. ''I will forever remember this.''
Forsberg made his way into the arena by walking through the stands, high-fiving kids as he made his way onto the ice. Once there, he stepped onto the burgundy carpet that had been placed along the surface and did a lap around the rink.
Along the way he shook hands with the current crop of Avalanche assembled on the bench and then hugged Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg, a fellow Swedish player who ducked out of the locker room to take in the ceremony.
The capacity crowd gave Forsberg a thunderous ovation during his entire journey around the ice.
That's simply how beloved he remains in the Mile High City, an infatuation he's never quite understood.
''You've always been so nice to me,'' he said in his speech. ''I don't really know why, but thank you so much.''
All he had to do was gaze at the scoreboard to understand their passion. A video tribute showed an array of his hard hits and artistry with the puck on his stick.
In his prime, Forsberg was one of the best two-way players in the NHL. He helped Colorado to Stanley Cup titles in 1996 and 2001 along with winning the league MVP award in 2003.
''He obviously had a very high level of skill, but I think it's the physical part of the game that he brought to the ice that made him different than your typical skill players,'' former teammate Claude Lemieux said. ''He was great and he also was tough and physical and a pain to play against.''
The only thing that held Forsberg back was a chronically injured foot, one that has hampered him since 2003 and robbed him of chunks of his career. He attempted a comeback with the Avalanche last season, only to pull the plug after a two-game audition because of a nagging foot injury that's undergone numerous surgeries in an effort to fix.
''(His physical style) definitely took a toll on his career,'' Lemieux said. ''He might have played more games if he didn't play that way, but that's how he wanted to play. You can't take that fire out of a player.''
Lemieux's wife blamed the former enforcer for instilling the physical concept in Forsberg.
''She thought that was rubbing off in a negative way on him,'' Lemieux chuckled. ''I said, 'No, I've seen this kid play before. He likes it this way.' And I'd say to him, 'You don't have to be that physical. Let me do that stuff.' He said, 'No, I have to be involved in the game.'''
Forsberg spent most of his career with Colorado before heading to Philadelphia following the NHL lockout in 2004-05. He donned a Flyers jersey for 1 1/2 seasons before being dealt to Nashville.
He made sure to thank those organizations as well in his farewell speech, along with former teammates such as Joe Sakic, who's now helping out in the Avalanche's front office.
Sakic even stepped out onto the ice to give Forsberg a hug and present him with a commemorative painting.
And with that, Forsberg's career on the ice was all but closed.
''I have to start a new life,'' said Forsberg, whose parents, brother and fiancee all were in attendance. ''I can't sit around and not do anything.''
That's why he's going back to school and studying economics, which will help him run his business ventures. He's also helping out his hometown Swedish club, Modo, as an assistant general manager.
''I really enjoy my life,'' Forsberg said. ''It's been tough the last couple of years (with the foot injury), but right now it's great. I can't say anything negative about my life.''

Wrestling aims to get house in order with "extraordinary" congress in Moscow
May 2, 2013, 11:37 AM EST
In what's already being called one of the most important meetings in the history of the sport, the federation for international wrestling will hold an "extraordinary" congress in Moscow later this month to figure out how they can retain their spot on the Olympic schedule in 2020.
FILA sent invites to 177 countries for the May 18 meeting, where officials will discuss changes including new competition rules, putting women in leadership roles, and increased athlete involvement in organizational matters.
"Although the IOC's decision was a clear disappointment to the wrestling world, we very much understand it is our responsibility to get our house in order," acting President Nenad Lalovic said back in March, adding that they "in no way blame the IOC for our predicament and will view its decision as an opportunity to improve our sport and to help strengthen the Olympic Movement."
Lalovic, who took power after Raphael Martinetti resigned following wrestling's recommended removal from the Olympics, is expected to be officially elected as president through 2014 at the meeting.

More Information
Santiago has head start over Giorno in House Dist. 27 race
Published: Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 12:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 20, 2012 at 12:01 p.m.
Football coaches have a tradition. No matter how favorable an upcoming match-up, they never look past it to the next one. "Take one game at a time," they say.
Florida House District 27 candidates
Name: Phil Giorno
Party: Democrat
Age: 64
Residence: Deltona
Profession: President, DeBary Automotive & Marine Sales, Navy vet
Political experience: Volusia County Council member, 1991-1996
Priorities: Proper funding of the Volusia County school system, including the school resource officers and school crossing guards, making sure the children are protected from getting run over trying to go to school; working with the many state agencies to protect our Indian River estuary and lagoon; being sure the citizens have a responsive representative in Tallahassee.
Name: David Santiago
Party: Republican
Age: 41
Residence: Deltona
Profession: Financial adviser; U.S. Army veteran
Political experience: Deltona city commissioner, 2003-2007
Priorities: Attract and protect jobs in Volusia County; reduce corporate taxes and remove red tape for small businesses; put every dollar necessary into the classroom; make Florida a more veteran-friendly state.
David Santiago, the Republican nominee in the Florida House District 27 race, is not a football coach.
"My goal is 2014," Santiago said, referring to a potential re-election bid during an exuberant moment at a recent political hobnob. "I want to do a good enough job not to draw an opponent in 2014. I'm going for the eight years (allowed by term limits) and hope to make a difference in the district."
The former Deltona city commissioner has reason for optimism. His opponent's name doesn't even appear on the ballot.
Phil Giorno, a former Volusia County Council member, replaced Dennis Mulder after the former Deltona mayor withdraw from the race in late August over concerns for the health of his 1-year-old son, who had been undergoing tests for a lingering illness.
Mulder's withdrawal was too late to change ballots for the Nov. 6 general election.
State law permitted Democrats to replace him with a new candidate. Giorno, the chairman of the local Democratic Executive Committee since 1999, was tapped by that group's members to replace Mulder on the campaign trail, if not on the ballot.
A note at affected polling sites will say that a vote for Mulder will count as a vote for Giorno.
For Democrats, it might not be enough.
Deltona used to be split among four different House districts. Now Central Florida's second-largest city will dominate a single district, which stretches across the southern end of Volusia County from DeBary to Oak Hill.
Given their 3-percentage-point advantage among registered voters in the district, Democrats immediately targeted the newly drawn seat as an opportunity to cut into Republicans' veto-proof majority in the Legislature. (About 37 percent of voters in the district are Democrats, with about 34 percent registering as Republicans and one-quarter having no party affiliation.)
It wasn't going to be easy, though, even with Mulder and the head-start he got by not having a primary opponent. Republicans have showered support on Santiago, who defeated former Deltona City Attorney George Trovato in the Aug. 14 Republican primary by a 65-to-35 percent margin.
Santiago has raised a total of $170,140, according to state records posted on Friday. Giorno, with a late start, has raised $5,229, including $1,163 in the latest reporting period that ended Oct. 12. Santiago raised $50,450 over the same two-week period.
Giorno, though, doesn't talk like the coach of a team already defeated, even joking that there's an advantage to getting into the race so late.
"You get people who are not mad at you yet," he said with a grin.
One advantage Giorno brings to the match is a familiarity with the district, which largely follows the boundaries of the County Council district he represented from 1991 to 1996.
"When I went out with Dennis helping him in the district, it rekindled my interest," Giorno said. "I think it's a great district. This is a district I know."
Giorno's other best hope is convincing the district's Democratic voters — especially the district's 15,000 Hispanic voters — that they are better-served by him than a Republican of Hispanic heritage.
"The Republican Party has targeted Hispanic Republican (candidates) to undermine traditional ties between Democrats and Hispanics," Giorno said, adding that Republicans hope Hispanic voters will choose a Latino name on the ballot even if the candidate doesn't represent their best interests.
A district that's high in mortgage foreclosures and Medicaid recipients needs more help than Republican leaders in the Legislature have been willing to offer, Giorno said, citing as one example Republicans' reluctance to expand Medicaid rolls even with the federal government picking up most of the tab.
"The Republican philosophy is not helping the middle class. It hasn't. It won't," he said. "This district is longing for a representative who will stick up for the issues they face."
But Santiago believes he can do more good for the district as a member of the majority party.
"We all know in the Legislature you get things done by working with others. I'm proud of the fact I've already developed a good relationship with leadership," he said. "It puts me in a position to do more for the district (than a Democrat) could do.
"I have an 'R' in front of my political name, but I don't intend to govern that way. I want to do a good job representing everyone in the district."
For a job that carries just a two-year term and an annual salary of $29,697, he's been aggressively campaigning to get that message out, knocking on doors of prospective voters for months, even after Mulder dropped out.
Santiago said the first meeting he will have when he's elected — pointedly emphasizing the word — will be with officials from Daytona State College. He wants to talk about job training programs that could get people back to work more quickly because he said he's heard from home builders and other groups that they have jobs available, they just have a shortage of skilled workers in the market to fill them.
"The economy's going to turn around. History shows us that. I want to do my part in Tallahassee to make sure Volusia County is ready," he said. "If we get people back to work, get this economy started, many of the other things we want to do will be possible."

|Fla. trial in Collier shooting delayed until Sept.
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 21 April 2009 05:44
Circuit Judge Mallory Cooper on Tuesday reluctantly endorsed a joint request from the defense and prosecutors to reschedule Tyrone Hartsfield's trial on an attempted murder charge. The trial has been repeatedly delayed since an original start date of March 30.
The prosecutor said the case was delayed because of a full court calendar.
The judge noted that the new date will fall during football season and some of the witnesses are professional football players.
Collier was shot 14 times as he sat in his car outside a Jacksonville apartment complex. He was paralyzed from the waist down and his left leg had to be amputated.

We were honored this morning at the Sleepy Hollow-Tarrytown Chamber of Commerce meeting with a plaque for achieving 15 years in business. The meeting was at The Castle Hotel & Spa, a beautiful venue. The Fred Astaire Dance Studio and Grape Expectations were also celebrating their 15 years like us. As great as it was to receive this honor, it was quite awe-inspiring to be in the company of other, historic businesses who had achieved truly remarkable milestones. Among them were 55 years for Allan Block Insurance whom we use ourselves for our business insurance, 85 years for the Warner Library where we will be doing a Tea Tasting in the Spring, 125 years for the Historical Society and a whopping 165 years for the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. We are so fortunate being in the Northeast, in New York State, and, in particular, in Westchester county, where the past and history is still very much alive. Thanks to the Chamber and for all the townspeople of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow who have supported us and all our fellow businesses over the years.
Feedback from a Wholesale Customer..
This came along with an order:
I wanted to be sure to mention that I really appreciate that you almost always instantly return my emails, even at odd hours, for silly questions. It counts, thank you.
And when I responded with a Thank you, he added more:
I tell my help – I have 3 rules:
- Always be friendly
- Always be helpful
- Always be honest
And you are a good example of that policy.
Something to ponder and learn from – and it made my day, of course. Thank you, Bob.
Our Staff – Natalie
Here's the 2nd in our series highlighting our Staff.
Natalie's been with us for about 1.5 years and is one of our very knowledgeable Servers. Although she lives locally in Tarrytown, she went to Tulane University in New Orleans and majored in Art History. I hired Natalie for her congenial personality – friendly, helpful and easy to get along with. And not too many people tell you during their interview that one of the things they enjoy is going to the Zoo. How could you not love that? She is another one of our staff with varied interests:
Here's what excites her about her job at Silver Tips:
Natalie loves trying all the different teas and teaching people something about Tea that they did not know. By the way, it was Natalie's idea to offer Pumpkin Chai at the Tea Room. Ask for it!
What does she do when she's not at Silver Tips:
She is currently going to school to study Art Conservation and in addition to this, she holds down a second job at Washington Irving's Estate, Sunnyside.
Here's something personal about her:
In addition to her interest in art, she loves caring for animals. Her dream in life is to work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as an Art Conservator.
Be sure to introduce yourself to Natalie next time you see her. We're fortunate to have her and perhaps when she's at her dream job at the Museum in the future, she will give us free passes to see the great exhibits! Thanks for all you do, Natalie.
Our Staff – Annalisa
We have great people. I hire for attitude and who they are. I tell them we can teach them all about Tea but I can't teach them how to be nice. That they must bring to the party. I look for a well-adjusted person, someone who is open, a little bit genteel, no rough edges, someone who is naturally kind, optimistic and is not defined by their work but who they are. Because it is a workplace, I also want someone who does not thrive on drama. Responsibility, punctuality, hard work – these we consider the basic price of entry. We've got a great crew at Silver Tips and I thought you would enjoy knowing them better. We'll feature several of our staff, off and on, no special order, starting with one of our Managers, Annalisa:
Here's what excites her about her job at Silver Tips:
Annalisa loves introducing people to new teas and interacting with customers. She is a Manager and works full-time at Silver Tips.
What does she do when she's not at Silver Tips?
She is one of the busiest people I know and is currently going to school for a degree in Social Work. In addition, she completed a rigorous training program to be a Volunteer for victim advocacy and is now a hospital advocate for a victim's assistance agency. As if this weren't enough, she baby-sits locally for a family with two adorable, small children. She has many side talents and last year, we gave her a table at the Tea Room to show off her skills as a professional make-up artist.
Here's something personal about her:
One of Annalisa's goals in life is to volunteer abroad.
We're lucky to have her! Be sure to say Hello to Annalisa the next time you visit us. She's there 5 days a week – chances are you will run into her!

|Former NCAA executive Dave Cawood dies
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 21 July 2008 15:20
Cawood had just finished his morning run and complained to his wife that he was not feeling well; he then collapsed and was rushed to a hospital, where resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful, according to the NCAA Web site.
From 1975 to 1997, his NCAA responsibilities included the coordination of media and marketing for the men's Final Four. In that role, he helped negotiate the first $1 billion rights fee for a sporting event with CBS, and the subsequent $1.725 billion agreement.
``Dave was a very dedicated and talented individual,'' said Thomas W. Jernstedt, NCAA executive vice president. ``He also possessed a great knowledge of the association, and he could explain complicated concepts effectively, often using his great sense of humor.''
Cawood, a native of Harlan, was a first cousin of the late Cawood Ledford, the legendary radio voice of the Kentucky Wildcats.
Before joining the NCAA as director of public relations in 1974, Cawood was a sports information director at Morehead State, Eastern Kentucky, Baylor, his alma mater, Southern Methodist and Arkansas.
Cawood was a member of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Hall of Fame and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Hall of Fame.
After leaving the NCAA in 1997, he joined Host Communications, an association management and athletics marketing company.
During his tenure at Host, he served as executive vice president of NCAA Football.
In April 2007, Cawood became president of FSA Group, an association management firm.
Cawood was a member of the board of directors of the Harlan Independent Schools Foundation.
He is survived by his wife, Sheila; a son, Jeff; and a brother.
Funeral services are scheduled for Wednesday in Harlan.

This is a beautiful composition of Sri Thyagaraja. Notice the large number

the raga. Besides showcasing Thyagaraja's erudition in Sanskrit, this is
musically one of his masterpieces. It is said that the entire kriti

Mr Gimmeabreak Plz. You are not aware of some of the movies in which Dr.
BMK has sung songs. Those are all art movies and all the songs are
classical based. Please search for Hamsageethe. A classical kannada movie
by G V Iyyar. All the songs are sung my Dr. BMK only. All the songs are in
Bhairavi raga. Also there is one song in Muttina haara ( again a kannada
movie ) the song is called Devaru hoseda premada daara. I agree that he
will not sing for every movie. :)
