Born Canadian and raised American, the journey Cam Fowler took to reach Team USA has a notable twist.
And yet, in terms of intentional intrigue, the story is only the second most compelling involving the Ducks defenseman.
Honest, the real fascinating tale isn't how Fowler started being American but rather how he stopped driving American.
"I was Ford all the way, but then I bought a Mercedes," he says. "I stayed true for as long as I could."
This is a big deal today and a relevant deal, too, Fowler leaving Saturday with the rest of Team USA for Finland and Sweden, where the world championships begin this week.
See, the Ford Motor Company is the very reason Fowler is an American in the first place. His father, Perry, has been a long-time Ford employee, going back to his days as a factory worker in Windsor.
Perry, who now works in sales and marketing for the automaker, was transferred to Michigan when his son Cam was 18 months old. The family has lived outside of Detroit since.
During his rookie season of 2010-11, Fowler drove an 2004 Explorer. Last summer, though, while car shopping here with his father and mother, Bridget, Fowler told them he intended to buy an import.
When you're from Michigan, when you have poured more than 20 years of yourself into a company like Ford, this is like being Burger King and standing by while your son orders a Big Mac.
"He understands," Fowler says, smiling. "It just kind of seems like your reward for playing a full NHL season. Some guys get a condo or something like that. For me, it was a car. There are no hard feelings."
This family has dealt with these sorts of decisions before and decisions much grander than choosing make and model. With a Canadian dad (Perry is from Newfoundland) and an American mom (Bridget is from Grosse Pointe, Mich.), Fowler has been a dual citizen his whole life.
But when it came time to pick a side for international competition, he called it "a no-brainer" to go with the U.S. since being American is all he remembers.
"Everything that I know, my whole upbringing, was in the United States," Fowler says. "It's just what I know. I didn't even think twice about it."
So now he and Ducks teammate Bobby Ryan will represent us, while fellow Ducks Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry wear the colors of Canada.
Getzlaf and Perry have routinely kidded Fowler over the past two seasons about opting to play for America despite a birth certificate identifying Windsor as his home.

VATICAN LETTER Nov-30-2006 (720 words) Backgrounder. With photos posted Nov. 28 and 30. xxxi
Learning curve: Pope Benedict's approach to media, speeches evolving
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
WITH THE POPE IN TURKEY (CNS) -- Offering his thanks to journalists who help him get his message to the world, Pope Benedict XVI also highlighted the responsibility that goes with summarizing someone else's thoughts and words.
In part, the pope's remarks at the beginning of his Nov. 28-Dec. 1 trip to Turkey could be read as an acknowledgment that he, like many people, thought the trip to Turkey would be delicate because of somewhat tense Catholic-Muslim relations.
With that in mind, it made sense for the pope to give a little pep talk to the 69 reporters, photographers, producers and media technicians accompanying him to Turkey.
Speaking on the plane before takeoff from Rome Nov. 28, the pope told them he wanted "to express sincerely my gratitude for the work you do."
While not exactly excusing them for occasionally making mistakes, the pope told the reporters he recognized that theirs is a "difficult work, a work often done in difficult conditions."
Understanding and effectively communicating the pope's thinking in a world of 24-hour instant news is not so easy, he said.
Pope Benedict said he understood that "giving a synthesis and making the essence of what happened and what was said understandable" cannot be easy when it must be done quickly.
"All events reach humanity only through your mediation and, in that way, you really render a service of great importance, for which I am truly grateful," he said.
Journalists who repeatedly hear Vatican officials complain that the media often miss the subtleties of papal statements and Catholic teaching took the pope's words as an admonition, or at least a strong caution.
Some Vatican officials said the negative reaction of so many Muslims to the pope's September speech in Germany was sparked by media reports that had taken out of context the quotation the pope used expressing concern about Islam and violence. The pope later said he did not share the quotation's criticism of Islam and that he was sorry Muslims were offended.
But media attention to the speech and to the Muslim reaction also drew greater worldwide attention to Pope Benedict's trip to Turkey and particularly to his meeting in Ankara with Muslim leaders.
In the end, the meeting went off without a hitch.
Pope Benedict and Ali Bardakoglu, director of the government office overseeing Islamic affairs, did not ignore the tensions, but they seemed genuinely pleased to have an opportunity to sit and talk and to explain their hopes and concerns to each other.
What journalists reported the pope and Bardakoglu as saying did not unleash confusion or protests; no one at the Vatican made any move to comment publicly on how the media covered the visit.
But one thing that facilitated the journalists' work in Turkey was the fact that, unlike the speech in Germany, Pope Benedict's speeches were relatively brief and were not filled with footnoted references and explanations.
Pope Benedict's approach to the media traveling with him is different from the approach of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II.
Especially in the early days of his papacy -- including a trip to Turkey in 1979 -- whenever a flight was longer than two hours, Pope John Paul would give a press conference in the air.
Until his own trip to Turkey, Pope Benedict, on the other hand, would walk back to the journalists' section of the airplane as it was taxiing to the runway and respond briefly to two or three questions asked by reporters in the front row.
Only those seated closest to the front would hear the answers, although the quotes would make the rounds during the flight.
The problem was solved before the flight to Turkey, with Vatican Radio installing a microphone and amplifier in the journalists' section of the plane.
However, instead of responding to questions asked by reporters, the pope made his initial remarks about the responsibility of the media, then answered questions read by Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, director of the Vatican press office.
The Jesuit selected the questions from among a dozen the journalists submitted in advance.
Although as a cardinal he handled the press with straight talk and even humor, Pope Benedict has yet to hold a full-blown press conference.

For some Arizona families, purchasing nutritious food is a challenge. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, is the federally supported program that provides needy families with temporary assistance to buy food. While the federal government has set the general eligibility requirements for the program, states may develop their own additional restrictions and requirements. Arizona is one of the states requiring applicants to meet additional requirements.
Income Requirements
According to federal guidelines, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are available to Arizona households with gross monthly incomes equal to or less than 130 percent of the federal poverty level for their household size. Households with higher incomes may qualify if a household member is disabled or over age 60.
Social Security Number Requirement
Federal law requires that anyone receiving nutrition assistance benefits must provide his social security number. If you or anyone in your household does not have a social security number, you must visit the social security office and get one before you can receive benefits.
Citizenship Requirements
In general, you must be a U.S. citizen in order to receive SNAP benefits. Some non-citizens may qualify, such as those seeking asylum in the U.S., but in every case you must be in the U.S. legally to apply for and receive SNAP benefits.
Work Requirments
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 50 who does not have dependents, called Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWD), may only receive food stamp benefits for six months in any 36 month period. In addition, those designated as ABAWD must work in order to receive benefits. Arizona defines work as working a minimum of 20 hours per week in a 30-day period or participating in an approved program for a minimum of 20 hours per week. Approved programs include activities related to the Workforce Investment Act, the Trade Assistance Adjustment Act or an employment and training program.
Employment and Training Requirements
Arizona requires most people receiving food stamps to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Employment and Training program. You may be exempt if you are over 60 years old, disabled or, in some cases, have a child under six years old. The Employment and Training program provides participants with the skills and training they need to find work and support their families.
Ineligible Applicants
In some cases, you may be ineligible to receive benefits even if you meet the income requirements. If you are a fleeing felon, probation or parole violator or you have ever been convicted of using your food stamp benefits to purchase firearms, you cannot receive SNAP benefits. If you have ever used food stamp benefits to purchase controlled substances, or if you have been convicted of the sale or possession of illegal drugs, you may be banned from receiving benefits for a specified amount of time. Finally, if you do not pay your child support obligations, your food assistance benefits may be reduced or stopped.

Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Quad-core CPUs, AMD graphics, and a touch screen fill the near-ultrabook slim Chronos at CES.
While there are certainly things to like about the Sony Vaio Duo 11, the design gets in the way of enjoying them.
If you like the idea of having a touch screen on your Windows 8 laptop, the Sony Vaio T13 Touch isn't a bad way to go.
With only a handful of 11-inch laptops still available, serious travelers are flocking to ultrathin 13-inch models instead. But the low price and good battery life of the Sony Vaio E keep it from being counted out.
Sony's first ultrabook, the Vaio T, doesn't fall far from the tree of other thin Sony laptops like the Vaio Z, but it's far more affordable: this is ultrabook-as-budget-laptop, not ultrabook as high-end computer.
Sony promises some cutting edge media features on its new Vaio L-Series, but it's tough to recommend when not all of them deliver.
Pricing not available
With slim 13-inch SSD laptops now well under $1,000, Sony's expensive, high-end Z series laptop is a tough sell, although the long-life slice battery and unique GPU/optical dock help make its case.
A high-end big-screen multimedia laptop that's pretty portable (for a desktop replacement), the Samsung Series 7 Chronos is what we imagine a 17-inch ultrabook would look like.
If the size is right for you, the Vaio F Series is a well-made high-end laptop, and is a good reminder that Sony is one of the few brands that comes close to Apple on design and polish.
HP's unbranded G-series laptops can be reasonable choices for bargain hunters. The latest version gets a design upgrade and keeps the price down, but is stuck with last year's CPU and graphics.

Prepare the walls for painting; apply the base coat and let dry. In separate containers, mix one part of each top coat color with one part water and one part latex glaze.
To create this wet-on-wet technique (i.e. working on a wet surface), dampen a comfortable-sized area of the wall with the damp cheesecloth, and add a squiggle of the desired paint mixture. Use the damp (not wet) sheepskin and rounded movements to move the paint around, keeping the edges thinly fanned. This creates the soft look.
Use a dry brush to gently disperse the paint in darker areas, working until you can't see any brush lines. Repeat until the entire project is done. Feel free to colorwash with more than one color, but keep them in the same tonality (the two featured colors work well together).
Make sure the wall is completely dry before tackling touchups. Lap lines happen when you work too closely to an already painted area. To fix them, dilute eight parts of the base coat paint with one part water. Lightly brush the mixture across the lap lines, and then diffuse the color throughout the area with a dry brush. Let dry.

Geraint Thomas was one of the stars on stage three of the Tour de France, making it into an elite six-man lead group and finishing second behind the Norwegian Thor Hushovd.
"It was a massive buzz going across the cobbles with [Fabian] Cancellara, Thor and Cadel [Evans]."
Geraint Thomas
As a bonus, Team Sky's newly-crowned British national champion took over the white jersey for best young rider at the end of a stage that, thanks to its seven cobbled sections, will go down as one of the toughest and most dramatic of recent years.
"It was a massive buzz going across the cobbles with [Fabian] Cancellara, Thor and Cadel [Evans]," said Thomas.
"You don't get a better group than that. Having the national champion's jersey on my back, and being in the front group with the world champion [Evans] and some of the other big riders, was amazing.
"The atmosphere was amazing, too. I'm going to remember that for a while.
"The white jersey's a nice bonus, and I'm going to enjoy that tomorrow, but I'm here for Brad."
Thomas revealed that at one point he considered dropping back to help Bradley Wiggins, who was caught behind Fränk Schleck's crash, and found himself in the group chasing Thomas's sextet.
"I was in two minds about going back to help Brad but Sean [Yates] told me to stay in the front group," Thomas explained.
Many of the cobbled sections that featured in stage three are also included in the legendary classic, Paris-Roubaix. Riders like Cancellara and Hushovd are specialists - the former won this year's so-called 'Hell of the North' - but Thomas also has pedigree - he won the junior edition in 2004.
"It was a bit different being with the big boys," he said. "But I get over the cobbles pretty well. It was a good day - I enjoyed it."
The Welshman could now hold on to the white jersey for several days, with the cobbles and Ardennes hills behind them as the Tour makes its way south, heading for the Alps.
"It's possible I could keep it for a bit," he said. "But it's all about helping Brad - that's what I'm here for. Today was a good day for the team. Confidence and morale is good, and we're enjoying racing together."

GM had many problems with the connectors for the temp. sensors on the saturn platforms. Replace the connector clear the codes by removing both battery cables and touching together. Run the vehicle up to operating temperature (until the cooling fan comes on).
Replyrearcega, May 06, 2012, 20:10Rookie
What do you mean by touching together? I was thinking to replace the cooler temp sensor again, because the coolant temp gauge is pointing in the middle of the gauge. Also the cooling fan is always on.

This is the spider graph for the Felchlin Criolait 38%:
Notice that even though the two graphs are superficially alike, the axes are different so the two graphs are not directly comparable. Also, when you squint to separate the shape from the lines the shape itself does not tell you anything meaningful.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Trading Twelves: The Selected Letters of Ralph Ellison and Albert Murray
When eighty-four-year-old Albert Murray came to an Upper West Side bookstore last August to read from Trading Twelves: The Selected Letters of Ralph Ellison and Albert Murray, he expressed his gratitude to John F. Callahan, Ellison's literary executor and editor. He said that no one had done more than Callahan to see that Ellison's work was in print. Murray meant The Collected Essays of Ralph Ellison, Flying Home and Other Stories, and Juneteenth, a novel, a narrative sequence, a book-length excerpt of the long, mysterious, obsessive work that Ellison still had not let go of at the time of his death in 1994.1 Thanks to Callahan, there are more Ellison titles now than existed during his lifetime.
Callahan also deserves praise for Trading Twelves, an exchange of eighty-nine letters between Ellison and Albert Murray during the 1950s, written from what Callahan calls "both men's determination to bring their vernacular Negro American point of view to bear" on the wider intellectual and cultural life of the US. Praise must fall to Murray, too, with whom Callahan edited this volume, because the relaxed, congenial sound of Ellison in his letters was made possible by his trust in his fellow former avid reader in the Tuskegee library and, when their exchange of letters begins, fellow hopeful novelist.
In these letters their shared passion for jazz, that saving grace, gave them license to say or string together all kinds of bop wisdom. In his introduction, Callahan compares Ellison to "a horn man improvising long, meditative, lyrical solos" while Murray "swings along on piano in offhand syncopation." This is very much how the two in these letters—and elsewhere—talk about themselves and about each other. Trading twelves, Callahan explains, refers to the jazz jam session, the exchange of riffs, of twelve bars of music, between two instruments.
Yet while Ellison's and Murray's tone in their letters is relaxed, confidently complicit, the letters are not without self-consciousness. The last thing the world needs is another book, and both write knowing serious writers must back up the nerve they have in asking for the world's attention by offering something that is more than merely worthwhile. Sometimes their letters are almost bravely grandiose because of the feeling that there is no turning back, even with families to support.
Even after Ellison has published Invisible Man and Murray his first short story, there is still a sense in their letters that they are testing out on each other the language with which they want to explain to their audiences how to read what can be called Ellison's blues essentialism and Murray's extreme bop extension of it. The letters are also intriguing in what they capture of the postwar period of graduate school opportunities made possible by the GI Bill, when travel to Europe was again possible, and in what they say about themselves and their conception of the black writer as civil rights struggles took hold in public consciousness.
Here is Ralph Ellison, in 1955, to Albert Murray, about having seen a jazz character, a "great drummer" and a "fool" in the "colored sense," who was a former pupil of an unpopular music instructor back at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where all three had gone to school:
…I went into a store on Madison Avenue the other day and saw a slightly built, balding mose [black guy] in there stepping around like he had springs in his legs and a bunch of frantic jumping beans in his butt (pronounced ass), and who was using his voice in a precise, clipped way that sounded as though he had worked on its original down home sound with great attention for a long, long time—a true work of art. I dug this stud and was amazed. I was sitting across the store and waiting to be served when he got up and came across to the desk to pay for his purchase and leave his address—when the salesman made the mistake of asking him if he wasn't the Joe (pardon me, Jo) Jones.
Well man, that definite article triggered him! His eyes flashed, his jaw unlimbered and in a second I thought ole Jo was going to break into a dance. His voice opened up like a drill going through thin metal and before you could say Jackie Robinson he had recalled every time he had been in this store, the style of shoes he bought and why he'd bought them and was going into a tap dancing description of his drumming school, politics, poon-tang in Pogo Pogo and atomic fission—when I remembered what you had told me of his opinion of Alton Davenport and uttered the name. Man, his voice skidded like a jet banking up there where the air ain't air and he started stuttering. "Did you say Davenport?" he said. "And Birmingham, Tuskegee, and points south," I said. And he was off again.
Murray replies,
Good to hear you in there riffing like that…. Remember what he told that fay [white guy] drummer that time. This poor square cat was clunking and plunking up there on 52nd and one night he looked out there's old Jo sitting there not even looking. Whereupon this cat falls to and commences to fair-thee-well all but cook supper on them skins as only a grayboy feels he's got to do. Sweated himself into a double krupa trying to make old Jo take notice, then at the end of the set he came over and asked if he dug him. "You're distorting me, man," old Jo lectured him right then and there, his teeth set into that razor-edged footlights not-smile, his eyes crowfooted, his nose narrow, his voice nasal, "This way, man, this way. Lighten up, lighten up and loosen up. Watch your elbows, man. Watch your shoulders. What you mad about? It's music, man, music, music. From here man, here, here, here. It's heart and soul, pardner. Man, you're distorting the hell out of me." Man, that cat didn't use nothing but brushes the rest of the night.
Their style is defined by humor and their humor by amplified uproar, determined vitality, robust ironies. Yet these letters also reveal a quiet reverence for the artistry to be found in black culture, the belief that true art teaches control, not abandon, a faith in music as a "depository" of living American traditions, and their search for a literary equivalent.
Throughout the letters there are interesting remarks on literary figures Ellison knew, such as Bellow, Mailer, and R.P. Blackmur, and Faulkner in his suede shoes; and entertaining portraits of artists like Ray Charles and the white choreographer Maya Deren, whose films made her a conservationist of black dance in Harlem. Both Ellison and Murray know a lot about hi-fi equipment and cameras. And as guys they talk cars, boxing. But Trading Twelves assumes a great deal of familiarity with the works of both Ellison and Murray. The story the letters tell is narrow. As apprentices, Murray and Ellison don't talk shop, they talk literature. They are not so much interested in personalities or in private lives, not even in their own, at least not in the letters presented here. Though the letters aren't personal, they are intimate. Hardly a letter goes by without mention of what they are reading, and perhaps the reason some of the now-obscure works that excite them—Abraham Kardiner's The Mark of Oppression, for example—are left underidentified is that the intellectual friendship these letters testify to is their main concern as literary history.
The two men confess plans, anxieties, and encourage each other. "I'm glad to see you getting into print. This is a very necessary part of writing, until the work is printed it's still tied to your own subjectivity. Put it into print and the spell is broken and self-criticism is born." Trading Twelves is touching in what the letters record of the arduous schedule of young writers who could not have known how long it would take each to be as nonprolific as they turned out to be.2
Ellison is thirty-five years of age when the letters begin and Murray is thirty-three. Murray had been aware of Ellison since 1935, when Ellison was an upperclassman at the Tuskegee Institute and he a freshman. To Alabama-born Murray, the upperclassman who had come to Tuskegee from Oklahoma to study music already had a reputation. Murray found Ellison's name on the cards for the books that he himself had checked out of the school library in his passion for supplementary reading. But the two didn't actually meet until 1942, in New York. Murray says that although he knew that by then Ellison had published some fiction and articles, he didn't then know that music was no longer his main interest.
Murray ran into Ellison for the second time in Harlem, on the corner of Seventh Avenue and 135th Street. Murray, who had already studied and rejected Marxism, had assumed that Ellison shared Richard Wright's interest in it. But after he mentioned to Ellison his "musette bag of poetry by Auden, Spender, and C. Day Lewis," treasures from the Gotham Book Mart, how much more Ellison had in common with him than with Wright became clear, including their hope to answer in their writings what Murray calls "the challenge of William Faulkner's complex literary image of the South."
Murray had already been teaching at Tuskegee when he and Ellison became friends. He had been a second lieutenant in what was then the US Army Air Corps, stationed at the Tuskegee Army Air Field. Tuskegee and the Air Force, to which Murray was transferred as a reservist (first lieutenant) when it absorbed the Air Corps, were to have long claims on him. The early letters were written while Murray was still teaching at Tuskegee, and Ellison was in New York, spending a lot of time with the narrator of his novel, inside the conceit of first-person invisibility and his narrator's secretive project of speaking "on the lower frequencies" for "you." It is easy to imagine how necessary being in touch with another sympathetic black writer was for Ellison.
Just how wary of others or superstitious about saying too much Ellison perhaps was back then, either by temperament or from his experience of literary Manhattan, is evident in an early letter, before his novel was published, about his having been asked, by someone whom he describes as "an exponent of the Herskovits myth-of-the-Negro-past-school of anthropology," to lecture at NYU on the sociological background of southwestern jazz:
With my fear of having my poor little brain picked I probably won't say much of anything. So let that be a warning to you; if you have any ideas write them before you talk to these white boys, 'cause they're all eager beavers aspiring to win their spurs in [Partisan Review], Accent or anywhere else that will print a by-line. So write it before you talk it—if you plan to write it, and don't say too much even then.
One of Callahan's footnotes promises a scholarly edition of Juneteenth soon.↩
Albert Murray has published nine books, and the night he read from Trading Twelves he mentioned three other works in progress, including the last novel in his "Scooter" trilogy. Ellison has long been one of his subjects. See, for instance, his memoir South to a Very Old Place (1971). Several of the photographs included in the book are by Ellison who, when he first came to New York in 1937, was thinking about being a photographer as well as being either a sculptor or a musician. Van Vechten's portrait photography, in Ellison's opinion, was "photo-castration of a few so-called poets." ↩

(CNN) -- Aaron Collins was only in his 20s. But something, his family and friends say, made him outline three things he wanted when he died: to repay his parents any debt he may have owed, to give a homeless person some money and to leave "an awesome tip" for a waiter or waitress.
"I'm not talking about 25%. I mean $500 for a ... pizza," Collins wrote in his will, according to his brother.
Collins died on July 7, just three weeks after his 30th birthday, in a Lexington, Kentucky, hospital, leaving behind family and friends who took up his final request -- to leave a big tip.
Family and friends fulfilled Aaron's request, tipping one waitress in Lexington the $500, a moment that Aaron's brother, Seth Collins, videotaped and posted online Wednesday to YouTube. It is linked to the family's memorial page, AaronCollins.org.
Maybe it was the simple gesture. Maybe it was the generosity. But something caught the imagination of the public, who began watching the video. By Saturday, according to a YouTube count, there were more than 1.3 million views and nearly $30,000 in donations for the family to continue what has become known as "Aaron's Last Wish," Seth Collins told CNN.
The nearly 3-minute video chronicles the family carrying out Collins' last wish at Puccini's Smiling Teeth, a pizzeria in Lexington.
"Well, this is where it's happening," Seth Collins says, narrating the trip to the pizzeria on Tuesday. "I'm waiting for the rest of the family to get here and then we'll be going in and having lunch and giving someone a big tip. Hope it means a lot to them."
Restaurant manager Caroline Coleman told CNN the family came in and ordered from waitress Sarah Ward.
The video picks up at the end of the meal, with the brother telling the waitress: "My brother passed away late last week. He asked that we go have pizza, and leave the waiter or waitress a $500 tip."
Tips on tipping from Eatocracy
A visibly stunned Ward said: "Are you serious? Are you kidding me?"
Seth Collins answered: "That's what he wanted. Yeah, and if people keep donating, we will keep giving away $500."
Ward then hugged him. "I'm going to be telling this story the rest of my life," she said.
A preliminary investigation of Collins' cause of death points to suicide by strangulation, according to the Fayette County coroner, though final autopsy results have yet to be released. Collins' family question the initial findings, saying there was no indication he would take his own life, according to his brother.
But family members have no doubt that Collins' last wish is making a big impact. Since the video posted on YouTube, Seth Collins said the family has heard from people in the Netherlands, Brazil, Portugal and even Russia. So many people responded that he is moving the website to a different server to handle the increased traffic.
"People have just been overwhelmingly generous and kind," he said. "If we can keep doing it, I'd like to keep giving these tips, and keep filming them so other people can see the happiness it's bringing to someone."
All the donations are going to the waiters and waitresses, the brother said.
"He left us a will full of his personality," Seth Collins wrote on a memorial page.
"Aaron was generous in life, and that's probably why he didn't have the money to do this himself. He just accepted that if someone needed help, he would help them."
And in a way, he is doing just that.
Does this inspire you to do something "awesome" for a stranger? Let us know in the comments below.
CNN's Chelsea J. Carter contributed to this report.

Select the Priority Processingoption in the shopping cart for $1.98 and SnowShack.com guarantees your order will ship from our warehouse today.
Adding Priority Processing to your order lets our staff know that the order requires immediate attention and needs to ship out of our facility today. While we guarantee that the order will leave our facility today, standard shipping rates still apply. If you prefer express shipping, please be sure to select either Next Day Air shipping or Second Day Air shipping when checking out.
While some oversized items may qualify for Priority Processing, they are not eligible for express shipping (Next Day Air or Second Day Air shipping).
The Priority Processing option is available on most items within SnowShack.com and will be presented as an option only on items that qualify. If you do not see the option, ADD PRIORITY PROCESSING while on the shopping-cart page, an item in your shopping cart does not qualify.
Choosing Priority Processing does not guarantee that your order will be automatically approved. If, during our review process, errors are found or the credit card is declined, then the order will be placed on hold until the issues are resolved.
Priority Processing is only available for in-stock orders placed between the hours of 12:00 a.m. EDT and 2 p.m. EDT, Monday through Friday.
The option to add Priority Processing to your order will only be available in the shopping cart during these hours. If you added the option to your cart prior to 2 p.m. EDT, but had not submitted your order by then, you may submit the order up until 2:30 p.m. EDT. Otherwise the option will not apply, though the fee will be charged to your credit card.
