19 of Donald Trump's Weirdest Celebrity Endorsements
From Wayne Newton to Mike Tyson, Trump's long, strange endorsements list says a lot about his candidacy
As the self-proclaimed Motor City Madman, guitarist Ted Nugent fashioned a sharply defined, not-so-noble savage persona, garnering him endless publicity and resulting in multiplatinum sales in the late '70s. Since then, however, Nugent's pro-gun, pro-hunting (he eats everything he kills), anti-drink, and anti-drug lifestyle has proved to be anything but a pose (though he did confess to Behind the Music that in his younger days, he was addicted to women). Opinionated, unapologetic, and always quotable, Nugent is the anti-rock star rock star: "I have militantly defended my quality of life, and I would never compromise it in the name of hipness or acceptability of my so-called peers."
Growing up in Detroit, Nugent began bowhunting at age five and playing guitar at age eight. His first band was called the Royal High (or Hi) Boys (1960-61), followed by the Lourdes (or Lourds) (1962-64). By the time he was 14, he and the band played Cobo Hall, opening for the Supremes and the Beau Brummels. The band broke up in 1965 when Nugent's family moved to Chicago. There, he immediately formed the Amboy Dukes, who signed with Mainstream and released their debut that year. Though they had a local hit with "Baby Please Don't Go" in 1967, the band's only sizable success was "Journey to the Center of the Mind" (#16, 1968), the pro-drug message of which Nugent claims escaped him at the time. The Dukes continued in various forms until 1975, recording also for Polydor and DiscReet.
When the Dukes signed with the latter label in 1972, they became known as Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes. Nugent tried to boost album sales with his publicity savvy, staging guitar contests against Mike Pinera (of Iron Butterfly and Blues Image), Wayne Kramer (MC5), and Mahogany Rush's Frank Marino. But things didn't begin to happen for Nugent until he signed a solo deal with Epic in 1975. For his new band, he retained bassist Rob Grange from the old Amboy Dukes; after this, he would go through periodic changes in personnel. He continued to tour widely, and suddenly his cartoonish caveman image (complete with loincloth), began to write Nugent up. Even if many found his music to be standard heavy-metal fare, Nugent never failed to make good copy. Free-for-All featured Meat Loaf on some vocals (Nugent rarely sings), but the real breakthrough was 1977's Cat Scratch Fever, whose double-platinum success boosted sales of the two previous LPs to 2 million each. Also out that year was Double Live Gonzo (near-2 million sales), followed by the platinum Weekend Warriors. Stern Electronics introduced a Ted Nugent pinball game. Nugent showed a slight softening of attack by covering the Beatles' "I Want to Tell You" on State of Shock; this gold LP ended his platinum streak. Also disappointing saleswise was 1980's Scream Dream, though it contained "Wango Tango" with its cars-and-garages ("My face is a Maserati," etc.) sexual imagery. Still, Nugent's LPs and concerts continued to sell respectably. In 1981 Nugent was backed by the D.C. Hawks (which included three brother lead guitarists. Kurt, Rick, and Verne Wagoner) for a four-axe attack. His first self-production, 1982's Nugent, barely grazed the chart. By that point, however, Young Ted, as he referred to himself, had reaped the rewards of having been the top-grossing tour act of 1977, 1978, and 1979.
Since 1980, he has served as a deputy sheriff near his home (on 1,000 acres of wilderness) in southern Michigan. Nugent is the author of Blood Trails: The Truth About Bowhunting and the publisher of Ted Nugent World Bowhunters Magazine. He is also a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, a board member of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), numerous conservation organizations, and several anti-drug abuse organizations, including Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE). In early 1994 Midwestern Public Broadcasting Stations aired Nugent's four Spirit of the Wild television specials.
In 1989 Nugent, along with Styx's Tommy Shaw, formed Damn Yankees [see entry]. Spirit of the Wild, his first solo album in six years, included former Nugent sideman Derek St. Holmes, ex-Brownsville Station bassist Michael Lutz, and former Heart and Coverdale/Page drummer Danny Carmassi. "I Shoot Back," "Thighraceous," and "Fred Bear, the American Hunter's Theme Song" (which sold over 100,000 copies as an independently released single) indicate that Nugent has no plans to mellow with age. Into the 21st century he has continued touring and recording, hunting, working on behalf of conservative causes, and writing.

Chenango County 4-H Educator Jenn Sienko visited the school each week for 15 weeks to teach basic cooking skills and to promote healthier eating habits. Students were then guided in making their own healthy and nutritious snacks each week for the duration of the program. The class was funded by the NYS 4-H Foundation which generously funded the after school program for about 20 students aged 9-14. Students learned to make healthier snacks like fruit smoothies and veggie pizzas all while learning good basic kitchen skills. Proper hand washing and food preparation also prepares students for future careers in the culinary industry.

Soldiers Provide Medical, Dental Treatment to Hondurans
August 17, 2007
By American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON (American Forces Press Service, Aug. 17, 2007) - U.S. military personnel are providing medical and dental services to residents in Honduras during a two-week medical readiness training exercise that kicked off Aug. 13.
Doctors, dentists and dental technicians from multiple military installations throughout the United States are being augmented by medical personnel assigned to Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras, for the exercise.
"The main mission is to train," said Army Lt. Col. Manuel Marien, a pediatric dentist assigned to Fort Hood, Texas, who has performed this mission each of the past six years. "Every year, we come with residents and bring them for the training."
The benefits of conducting the medical training in a foreign country helps the doctors and technicians learn how to work in austere environments. Dentists and technicians are providing dental care to hundreds of Honduran children at the Catholic University Dental School in Tegucicalpa.
"When it comes to improvising, everybody learns. It's like tailgate dentistry," Lt. Col. Marien said. "For military doctors, they'll rarely see this. It's great training for them. If they're deployed to a remote area and they have to treat kids, now they'll know what to do."
The children first were given an educational class on the importance of brushing, flossing and good nutrition. From there, dental hygienists performed cleanings before the dentists began their work.
"There were lots of extractions, fillings and crowns," said Army Capt. Tom Stark, a pediatric dentist from Fort Irwin, Calif. "It's a very high-risk population due to the lack of education, poor diet and lack of fluoride in the water."
Because this was a first-time experience for him, Capt. Stark said he wasn't sure what to expect. "It's been a totally eye-opening experience, and some of the worst cases I've seen since I've been a dentist for the last five years."
Air Force Maj. Kim Christian, a dentist deployed to Soto Cano from Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, said it was a very rewarding experience to be able to help the children who so desperately need dental care.
"We try to do as much as we can on each patient, depending on their needs and what they can tolerate," she said. "But once the problem is gone, a lot of the pain they have is gone too."
In exchange for the use of the dental school's facilities, Lt. Col. Marien provided teaching lectures to the dental students at the university during the exercise. Because Honduras doesn't have pediatric dentistry as a specialty, most of the students were very curious about it.
Dr. Ramses Montes, dean of the dental school, said it's a win-win situation for everyone involved.
"As a dental school, we can't work on the children because a lot of them don't have the money to be seen (by a dentist)," he said. "But the students talk and communicate with the military doctors and get information from them, (even though) some of the procedures are a little advanced and a higher knowledge level."
The team expects to see 200 to 300 patients during the two-week mission. Lt. Col. Marien said last year they saw 286 patients and completed more than 1,800 procedures during the exercise.
While U.S. military dentists worked on children at the university, two U.S. military hand surgeons were bent over the hand of a 64-year old Honduran man in a brightly lit room in Hospital Escuela, also in Tegucicalpa.
The patient was born with a condition that caused his hands to be permanently clenched, explained Army Capt. Heather Higgins, the patient's anesthesiologist from Fort Sam Houston, Texas, as the doctors worked to restore mobility to the man's hand.
The 64-year old man was one of many Honduran patients to be treated by a 15-person hand surgery team made up of medical personnel from several locations throughout the United States.
"This mission is done as humanitarian and civic assistance," said Dr. Ricardo Aviles, a Honduran doctor who works as a liaison with Joint Task Force Bravo from Soto Cano Air Base. Dr. Aviles worked with the medical element from Soto Cano to plan the training exercise.
"The hospitals here are overwhelmed with trauma, so there's no way we can get to elective cases. This (exercise) helps clear that backlog," Dr. Aviles said. "On top of that, since we've started this about eight years ago, there have been two generations of Honduran residents who have trained and exchanged experiences with the U.S. surgeons. Now things they weren't capable of doing in the past can be done, like reattaching a hand."
The Hondurans aren't the only ones who will benefit from the training, said Army Col. Michael Sigmon, commander of the medical element at Soto Cano. The U.S. medical team will benefit as well, he said.
"There are several goals (for the exercise)," Col. Sigmon said. "It gives us an opportunity to work with the Hondurans, it gives us the opportunity to work in austere environments, and we provide a needed care for the patients."
Working with the Honduran doctors also provides learning experiences for the U.S. doctors, said Army Lt. Col. Martin Baechler, a hand surgeon from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., who is here on his fifth exercise.
"We share medical knowledge. The Honduran doctors have ways of doing things because of their circumstances here and clever ways of accomplishing their mission that we can learn from," Lt. Col. Baechler said. "And they can learn from the way we do things in the States."
After only one day of surgeries, first-time exercise participant Army Capt. Emerson Coates, an orthopedic surgery resident from Fort Sam Houston, already is reaping the benefits of the exercise.
The cases are a lot more difficult than what doctors would normally see in the United States, because many times the injuries have been neglected for several years, he said. However, the experience will make him a better doctor, he added.
"Personally, it's fulfilling and satisfying to be able to help, because these folks wouldn't be able to have their surgeries if we hadn't come down here," Capt. Coates said.
By the end of the exercise, 15 U.S. medical personnel and about 45 Honduran surgery patients will have experienced the partnership between the United States and Honduras first-hand.

DHA and Micronutrients May Prevent Brain Shrinkage with Age
B Vitamins
• Vitamin B1 is needed in order for the brain to utilize glucose for energys
• Folate is crucial during early brain development and is important for memory s
• Vitamin B12 is important for memory and production of neurotransmitters, and deficiency in B12 can cause nerve injury leading to impaired sensation and even blindness.4 Higher B12 blood levels are associated with slowed cognitive decline.5
• Vitamin B6 is also involved in neurotransmitter production, and deficiency is associated with seizures, chronic pain, and depression.6
Antioxidant Vitamins C and E
• The brain is highly susceptible to oxidative stress, which is one of the main mechanisms of brain aging and a contributing factor to neurodegenerative conditions.7,8
• Nerve endings have highest concentrations of vitamin C found in the human body. Vitamin C is thought to function largely as an antioxidant in the brain and nervous system. Blood levels of vitamin C have been positively associated with IQ.4
• Vitamin E is a component of brain cell membranes, and along with vitamin A and carotenoids, protects vulnerable unsaturated fatty acids (like omega-3s) from oxidative damage. Low vitamin E status is associated with greater risk of Alzheimer's disease.4
• Vitamin C and E intake were associated with higher cognitive scores in the elderly, and the association was stronger for food sources compared to supplement sources.9
• In addition to vitamin intake, polyphenols and other antioxidants present in plant foods are thought to contribute to protecting the brain from oxidative damage.4
Vitamin D
• Vitamin D is involved in regulating glucose and calcium transport to and within the brain, and may also protect cognition by reducing inflammation and increasing availability of certain neurotransmitters.4
• Vitamin D is also involved in memory formation.10 Several studies have associated vitamin D deficiency with increased risk of cognitive impairment or dementia in older adults.11,12
Effects of vitamins and DHA on brain shrinkage in the elderly
Compared to older individuals with normal cognition, those with dementia have significantly smaller brain volumes as measured by MRI.17 A recent study analyzed blood fats and micronutrients with regard to MRI measures of brain volume and cognitive function tests in older adults. The researchers found three patterns of nutrient status that correlated to brain volume and cognitive function:
1. Higher levels of vitamins B, C, D, and E — associated with greater cognitive function scores and brain volume. This pattern primarily reflected fruit and vegetable intake.
2. Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA) — associated with greater cognitive function scores and brain volume. This pattern primarily reflected fish intake.
3. High levels of trans fats — associated with lower cognitive function scores and brain volume.18,19
Protect your brain
The American diet is insufficient in providing these brain-healthy nutrients, but a nutritarian diet provides both the amount and variety of vitamins and other phytochemicals that support optimal brain function. It is especially important to eat healthfully, supplement with vitamin D, and get adequate DHA as we age, especially after age 50. Keep in mind that fish is not an ideal source of DHA, since mercury is toxic to the brain and reduces the body's antioxidant status.20-23 An algae-based DHA supplement is a healthful, environmentally friendly source of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. Eating plenty of unrefined plant foods and taking a non-fish source of DHA starting early in life will allow us to maintain valuable vitamins, omega-3s, and other phytochemicals in brain tissue to keep our minds sharp as we age.

Slovak Republic's Commitment for World Peace & Stability
Schuster, Rudolf, Presidents & Prime Ministers
What three measures must the Palestinians and the Israelis undertake to bring about peace in the Middle East?
The first thing to be recognized is that bringing about peace in the Middle East requires, like in any other conflict, mainly the will and the desire for peace, as well as genuine determination of the peoples concerned to put an end to the decades of bloodshed and reach the consensus through making essential compromises. These compromises should make it possible to fulfill such objectives as self-determination, independence and security of the state structures.
I do, however, believe that the first and foremost prerequisite at the current stage of the conflict is the physical cessation of hostilities on both sides.
In the second step, the parties of the conflict should return to the negotiating table and should honor the agreements that had already been reached.
The third and perhaps the most important step should be, in my opinion, a clear and unequivocal statement that both sides will respect their partner's right to self-determination and existence. Both sides should act accordingly, expecting their partner to do the same.
Peaceful coexistence between the Palestinian Arabs and the Israeli Jews is realistic because it had been a reality already in the past. If the peace process in the Middle East is to be successfully concluded, all parties to the conflict-i.e., not only the Israelis and the Palestinians, but also the Syrians, the Lebanese and other Arabic nations--must fully recognize the right of the other side for existence, must honor their agreements and respect the recommendations and demands of the international community embodied in the UN resolutions.
What do you consider to be the next step in diplomacy between North and South Korea to ensure long-term peace in that region?
The international community will no doubt closely watch the preparations for the next inter-Korean summit during the upcoming reciprocal visit to Seoul that could constitute another important diplomatic step on the road towards deepening the dialogue and cooperation on the Korean peninsula. But rather than one major diplomatic step, I would prefer to speak of a series of small diplomatic steps that are needed to bring about peace in this part of the world.
I believe that for now it is important to preserve the momentum of the process of rapprochement that was launched with the inter-Korean summit last June, and to fulfill the joint declaration adopted at the meeting by the two Korean states. Equally important will be the diplomatic support for this process from the international community.
What specific measures must the World Trade Organization undertake to serve its membership effectively?
The World Trade Organization, with its 140 member states and another 29 in the accession process, is a relatively "young" organization created as late as 1995. It is, therefore, natural that it experiences problems of institutional and substantive character. They originate mainly in the addition to its agenda of such new issues as trade in services or commercial aspects of intellectual property, and in the enlargement of WTO membership represented by countries with widely differing levels of economic development.
The process of globalization generates a pressure on the discussion of new issues and their possible inclusion into the WTO system. In my view, the Slovak Republic's WTO membership is certainly not ineffective. I am convinced that, under the circumstances and compared with other international organizations, the WTO is an effective organization, although improvements should be introduced in such areas as the dialogue between the member states and the internal and external transparency of the organization. In this respect, the Slovak Republic supports five main priorities of WTO Secretary General Mike Moore aimed at strengthening the multilateral trade system. …

Home for holidays: 28th CAB returning from Iraq
December 23, 2009
FORT GILLEM, Ga. (Dec. 21, 2009) -- Members of the Pennsylvania National Guard's 28th Combat Aviation Brigade, also known as Task Force Keystone, are beginning to return home following their successful deployment to Iraq.
The Soldiers were in Iraq for about eight months.
The first group arrived back at Fort Dix, N.J., in mid-December, and will head to Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., for out-processing and demobilization just in time for the holidays. The remaining elements of the CAB will redeploy in late December and mid-January.
This deployment of the 28th CAB was the largest aviation deployment in Pennsylvania Army National Guard history. While in Iraq, the pilots, mechanics and support personnel provided helicopter air support and transportation needed to aid Iraq's transition to local security-force control.
This was the first time a combat aviation brigade had been commanded by a woman in combat, according to First Army officials. Col. Teresa A. Gallagher commanded the 28th CAB.
First Army Soldiers served as the primary trainers for the 28th CAB prior to deployment. They said this brigade is a good example of citizen-Soldiers answering the call to duty and performing in combat in an honorable manner. First Army officials said from their perspective, this was a highly successful mobilization by an organization that was well led and motivated.
From January through April 2009, nearly 2,500 Soldiers from nine states were mobilized, trained, and later deployed from Fort Sill, Okla., to Camp Adder, Iraq. While at Fort Sill, members of the 28th CAB inventoried their equipment, conducted company and battalion-level collective training, door and aircrew gunnery training, and an eight-day mission rehearsal exercise before loading their equipment for Iraq.
IGallagher's initial challenge was to bring together all the elements of the brigade from those nine states. Facing daunting personnel challenges and the inherent problems with combining an organization from different states, she provided the leadership and direction for a remarkably complex yet highly successful deployment, First Army officials said.
Once the brigade staged in Kuwait, Gallagher again was challenged by a last-minute mission change and diverted to a completely new location. Without missing a beat she led the brigade into its new zone, and First Army officials said this was testament to the unit's agility and the quality of its leadership and its Soldiers of all ranks.
Once fully deployed, the 28th CAB took control of aviation operations in southern Iraq and performed the full spectrum of aviation operation tasks, including troop and equipment transport, combat operations, air-assault training for Iraqi and U.S. special-operations forces, and airlifting non-operational vehicles from the battlefield.
Under Gallagher's leadership, the 28th CAB Soldiers flew in excess of 25,000 flight hours, moved almost 60,000 passengers and 2.5 billion pounds of cargo, and participated in multiple combat missions, all with the use of CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The brigade also marked the milestone of seeing the unit's first all-female Medical Evacuation team make history during the deployment.
"There must have been another all-female MEDEVAC crew somewhere, but I haven't seen one," said Chief Warrant Officer Andrea Galatian, the pilot.
"The odds are slim for such a crew to come up on rotation," said Maj. David Mattimore, commander, C Company, 3-238th MEDEVAC, from Hampton, N.H.
During its deployment, the 28th CAB also celebrated its 50th birthday, which it marked by receiving a combat patch, for its service in Iraq.
"As the leader of this tremendous group of Soldiers, I must say that I couldn't be more proud," said Gallagher.
Lt. Gen. Thomas G. Miller, commanding general of First Army, visited the 28th CAB in Iraq.
"The entire First Army Team is as proud of Col. Gallagher and all the Soldiers and officers of the 28th CAB as if they were our own", said Miller upon conclusion of the visit. "We know Pennsylvania must be equally proud and look forward to welcoming home these combat veterans."
(2nd Lt. Eric Connor serves with First Army Public Affairs.)

Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt moved to within one title of equalling the all-time record of world championship gold medals as he easily retained his 200 metres crown at the World Athletics Championships on Saturday.
The 26-year-old, six-time Olympic gold medallist, took his world gold tally to seven and within one of the all-time haul shared by fellow legends Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson.
"I had to push myself to be the best," said a subdued Bolt, who can capture an eighth gold on Sunday's final day in the 4x100m relay.
"I'm really happy to get it done as the 200m is my favourite event.
"I knew it wouldn't be the fastest of races as when I came into the straight I felt slightly tired and I started to look around me."
It was a mixed night for athletes who a year ago, like Bolt, were celebrating Olymmpic gold.
Uganda's Stephen Kiprotich's day job of prison warden may be worlds apart from the riches that Bolt has accrued, but he put on as impressive a display, seeing off both the powerful Ethiopian and Kenyan teams, to add the marathon world title to his Olympic gold.
Meseret Defar of Ethiopia also added women's 5000m world gold -- regaining the title she won in 2007 -- to the Olympic title she won so impressively in London.
However, fellow Olympic champions, Australia's Sally Pearson and Anna Chicherova of Russia, came up short in the defence of their 100 metres hurdles and high jump titles respectively, ending with silver and bronze.
Pearson lost out to the impressive American Brianna Rollins, who gave herself the perfect birthday present a day early -- she turns 22 on Sunday -- the gold medal and the $100,000 winner's prize-money.
"I guess you can call that perfect timing!" she beamed.
If there was consolation for Chicherova it was that team-mate Svetlana Shkolina, whose proud parents were watching in the stands, was as inspired as she was lacklustre and took the high jump title, one of two golds for the host nation.
"Dreams do indeed come true. I deserve this title, I have worked hard for it and given a lot up for it. I am more than happy, I am insanely happy," she said.
The Russian women's 4x400m relay team showed no fear against a powerful American team and roared on by the partisan crowd held on for a memorable gold and denied the United States a fourth successive win in the event.
As if there was not enough pressure on him, men's javelin thrower Dmitri Tarabin had received a personal phone call from President Vladimir Putin just before his final.
"I received a call 3 1/2 hours before the final from President Putin," said a slightly shocked Tarabin.
"He said he believed in us (Tarabin and his wife Mariya Abakumova, the defending women's javelin champion) and expected medals.
"Before the last attempt I was thinking that he might be watching and waiting for the medal."
Tarabin did not disappoint him, producing his best throw of the final to take bronze (86.23mm).
The 21-year-old was some way off the winner, the Czech Republic's Vitezlav Vesely (87.17m) who overcame knee and stomach problems to "deliver what felt like a fourth gold" to his coach and still the world record-holder, three-time champion Jan Zelezny.

Kellogg Launches Hot Cereal, Bars, Shakes And More For Changing Breakfast Preferences
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kellogg Company is introducing several new breakfast products to meet the changing needs and preferences of many of its consumers, including Special K® Nourish hot cereal and bars, and Kellogg's® To Go breakfast shakes. "Special K Nourish hot cereal and bars are specifically designed for people who are seeking positive nutrition to help manage their weight," said Doug VanDeVelde, senior vice president, Kellogg Morning Foods. "These consumers are focused on eating better, not just eating less."When considering a nutritious breakfast, 54 percent of consumers think fiber is important and 49 percent think protein is important.[i] Special K Nourish hot cereal features a unique whole grain blend, including quinoa, oats, barley and wheat, and each serving provides 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. This is the first-ever hot cereal from Special K in the U.S. and it debuts in three flavors: maple brown sugar crunch, cranberry almond, and cinnamon raisin pecan. Nourish hot cereal comes in a two-pack of single-serve cups that can be quickly prepared stirring in hot water or by adding cool water and heating in a microwave. Nuts and fruit are provided in a removable cap and can be stirred into the hot cereal for a delicious taste experience. Nourish nutrition bars provide 5 grams fiber and 8 grams protein and each bar is made with premium ingredients such as quinoa, fruit, nuts, and seeds. They debut in dark chocolate nut delight, cranberry almond, and lemon twist flavors. Even though most consumers know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, thirty million Americans skip breakfast every day, with young adults (20 percent) and teens (17 percent) having the highest rate of missing their morning meal.[ii] The number one thing that would enable more people to eat breakfast is increased availability of convenient breakfast items.[iii]

Amy Adams Films in Snowy Boston (Photos)Shana Aborn
An unexpected late-winter blast didn't hold up production of The Untitled David O. Russell Project, which just started filming in Boston.
It did, however, make things difficult for Amy Adams as she warily ventured out of her makeup trailer. Bundled up and wearing a zebra-print shower cap over her hair, she took a look at the snowfall before walking onto the set, accompanied by an umbrella-carrying assistant.
She stood outside for a time, consulting with another coat-wearing figure, before heading back in – no need to stay out any longer than necessary!
The film, which also stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale and Jeremy Renner, is based on the Abscam sting case from the 70's and 80's.
Don't worry, Amy – we hear spring will be here one of these days!
A tentative peek 1 of 6Amy checks out the weather from the door of her makeup trailer.
Getting an escort 2 of 6An assistant stands by with an umbrella to keep her dry.

Isn't spring almost here? 4 of 6The late-winter storm hammered New England - but didn't stop the film schedule.

Back in 6 of 6After a short consult outside, Amy returns to the dry trailer.

Surprisingly I found this the most interesting of trips whie visiting Cairo. Thoroughly recommend this tour. Guide was very open minded on religion and its continued influence in modern Eygpt.
Excellent tour! Tarek was knowledgable, patient and still as enchanted by the rich history as I was seeing it for the first time.
We had a fantastic tour of Coptic Cairo with our excellent guide, Amgad. He was very well informed, and able to answer all of our questions. Amgad's english was perfect, and he was very passionate about his work. It was an amazing experience - one that we won't forget.
The experience was wonderful and the guide made the tour. Not enough finger time to describe. All of Egypt was magnificent and the people!!!
Amazing Tour! We had a great guide Fouad Salah. Very knowledgeable. I was overwhelmed standing at the entrance to the cave where The Holy Family lived for 3 months. Love it all Coptic Caire, The Hanging Church, Abu Serga, Ben Ezra. Owsome.
Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide. Pickup and drop-off were punctual and the tour stops covered very well. The sights were far less crowded than many other Cairo tours. Thoroughly enjoyed by all of us.
This tour was wondeful. The guide was very friendly, helpful and extremely well informed about the history of the times, area, activites, and the items in the museum. Would recommend this tour and guide to everyone.
Tour guide Ans was very knowledgable, good tour, very happy .
Many thanks to our guide Shereif for making this segment of the trip both educational and enjoyable.
The tour company's Khaled Lofty is the most expert and friendly Egyptologist in Cairo and the driver was superb, a must for Cairo traffic.
excellent tour guide 5 stsr tour
VERY positive experience with Viator. Heba was an excellent guide, very thorough, excellent English, and included the Coptic Museum as well. I would highly recommend her for anything!
Enjoyed this day very much. Guide very good and informative, friendly. Also driver very friendly and polite and helpful.
I was extraordinarily impressed by the Coptic Quarter of Cairo. I was amazing to bring to life stories you learned about in church. The Hanging Church and the Coptic Museum are absolute musts along with Ben Ezra which is absolutely beautiful.
Gareth C United Kingdom
Coptic Cairo trip was amazing
Allyson W USA
Beautiful, All religions in one area. I recommend this tour as your first tour in the country. you get alot of history and the tour is about 4 hrs so you get back to your hotel to get some rest from the long flight to Cairo.
Jennifer M USA
Again the guide the same as for my other Cairo trips was excellent. She was extremely informative and really a delight to be with. She has so many insights into this part of Cairo and was very open to responding to all my questions. The tour company was again highly reliable.
Very nice place.
Edward C Canada
The guide, Ahmed was superb. Very knowledgeable. Spoke English very well. We really enjoyed both of these tours.
Noel P Australia
Excellent guide, learnt alot about the different religions.
An excellent trip! A great way to see another side of Cairo.
Carlos A USA
Amazing structure and content! More amazing history about how it was built, and a strong message for all Christian worlds. Thanks to my tour guide, an excellent job!
LINDY M United Arab Emirates
The tour guide we had was fantastic! He was extremely enthusiastic and knew everything about Cairo!
Seini USA
As a Christian this was one for the books. It was absolutely mind blowing to know that you were standing where the holy family had been. The churches were very beautiful. Our Egyptologist was very knowledgeable.

It would be an injustice to miss this tour. We arrived at Cairo Airport around noon and went straight to the tour. With Cairo traffic we probably spent an hour en route, and our guide answered dozens of questions along the way, so the drive itself was also like a mini tour! Our Egyptologist guide was infinitely kind and qualified. He spoke superb English and had a thorough knowledge of each of the sites we toured. He readily answered every question we had about any and every aspect of Egyptian culture, both historic and current.
I cannot verbalize in this space the spiritual impact of experiencing the history of each and every stop on our Coptic tour. I was frequently overwhelmed with emotion from the impact of, for instance, standing at the entrance to the cave where the Holy Family lived for 3 months. Our guide knew every minute detail of each site, from a religious--Islamic, Jewish, and Christian--architectural, cultural, geological, political, and historical perspective. We received so much more information and attention than we ever imagined would be included in a tour!! It was obvious from observation of individuals in other concurrent group tours that what we were experiencing was a deeper, richer exposure in every aspect.
Following the tour, we were delivered to our hotel, and our guide accompanied us to the hotel lobby, waiting to verify that everything was as we expected and that we were comfortable and satisfied. We had the same guide for the tours we booked for the following two days. This made for an even more pleasant trip as we felt as though we were traveling with a local friend, not a new stranger every day! We LOVED this tour.

NEW YORK — CBS moved swiftly Thursday to replace the retiring David Letterman with Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, who will take over the "Late Show" next year and do battle with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel for late-night television supremacy.
Colbert, 49, has been hosting "The Colbert Report" since 2005, in character as a fictional conservative talk-show host. The character will retire with "The Colbert Report."
"Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career," Colbert said. "I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead."
Letterman, who turns 67 on Saturday, announced on his show last week that he would retire in 2015, although he hasn't set a date. CBS said Thursday that creative elements of Colbert's new show, including where it will be based, will be announced later.
Mayors of New York and Los Angeles have publicly urged the new "Late Show" host to choose their city. New York would appear to have the edge because Colbert is already based in New York and CBS owns the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the "Late Show" has been taped since Letterman took over in 1993.
Letterman offered his endorsement Thursday: "Stephen has always been a real friend to me. I'm very excited for him, and I'm flattered that CBS chose him. I also happen to know they wanted another guy with glasses."
Colbert's show won the Emmy for best variety series last year and has earned two Peabody Awards. It's another big move for a Jon Stewart protege: Colbert worked on "The Daily Show" for eight years before getting his own program.
The decision opens up a hole on Comedy Central's schedule. The network said in a statement Thursday that "we look forward to the next eight months of the ground-breaking 'Colbert Report' and wish Stephen the very best."

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
01 Apr 2011 08:33 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, China, United States
Yu Yongding is currently President of the China Society of World Economics.
Despite shaky economic fundamentals, US government securities are usually regarded as a safe haven.
Whenever a crisis erupts, the value of US treasury bonds gets a boost. Indeed, US treasuries were among the few assets that did not decline during the global financial crisis in 2008-2009.
But the safe-haven status of US government securities is an illusion. They are safe only in the sense that no one can stop the Federal Reserve from operating its printing presses at full speed.
The market value of treasuries depends on a wide range of factors. Now it is essentially sustained by a Ponzi scheme, with the Fed's policy of "quantitative easing" keeping the price of treasuries artificially high.
But, at end of the day, no currency can defy the laws of economic
But, at end of the day, no currency can defy the laws of economic gravity. The market price of treasuries eventually will fall to levels dictated by US economic fundamentals.
For decades, China has been investing its vast savings abroad, waiting for greater efficiency in domestic investment allocation before starting to dissave.
China usually holds US treasuries to maturity and re-invests the principal and proceeds. What matters is not variations in the book value of these reserves, but rather their real value in terms of purchasing power when China decides to cash in.
We do not know what the People's Bank of China (PBOC, the central bank) is doing at the moment in the bond market. What we do know is that China should have begun exiting gradually from US government securities long ago.
But, according to US treasury data, China's holdings of US government securities totalled $1.16 trillion at the end of 2010, accounting for roughly 60 per cent of the overall increase in foreign official holdings of US government debt.
China's holdings of US treasuries increased by $351 billion between June 2009 and June 2010 alone, the largest jump on record.
The accuracy of these data is debatable. But they seem to show that, despite sharper rhetoric in Sino-US relations, China has continued lending to the US in order to keep its export machine going and avoid booking large foreign-exchange losses.
Trade surplus drop
It may be too late to do anything about China's existing stock of US treasuries without causing a serious political and financial backlash. But China should at least stop increasing its holdings.
Since 2009, China's trade surplus has dropped significantly, which many in China hail as progress in re-balancing.
Yet China's 2010 trade surplus was still $183 billion; its current-account surplus soared 25 per cent from 2009, to $306.2 billion; and its balance-of-payments surplus last year totalled more than $470 billion – the bulk of which must have been invested in new holdings of foreign-exchange reserves.
Needless to say, these surpluses reflect a gross misallocation of resources. Above a certain limit, China's stockpiles of US treasury bonds imply welfare losses, not to mention the capital losses that the country almost certainly will suffer.
Is China destined to see the value of its savings evaporate? Given the trade and current-account surpluses, the PBOC must intervene in currency markets, buying the dollar and selling renminbi, to prevent – or moderate – the appreciation of the renminbi exchange rate. But such interventions inevitably translate into more holdings of US government securities.
To stop this accumulation of foreign-exchange reserves, and thus minimise China's welfare and capital losses, the simplest solution would be for the PBOC to call a halt to intervention.
Solutions for currency appreciation
But this implies that China must allow the renminbi to float freely, and thus to appreciate. But nobody knows by how much.
China's official position is that the renminbi is not seriously undervalued. In that case, the government should not fear the end of intervention.
Indeed, some Chinese authorities also maintain that renminbi appreciation would have no significant impact on China's trade balance because they believe that China's trade surplus is a reflection of excess saving and hence has nothing to do with the exchange rate.
If so, there would be no need for China to worry about even a large jump in the renminbi's exchange rate.
The true risk lies in the possibility that the renminbi is significantly undervalued and that appreciation would have a major impact on China's trade balance.
In that case, China would have to accept an export slowdown and an increase in unemployment in order to avoid huge capital losses on its dollar reserves.
Currently, the government is trying to slow the GDP growth rate, and job shortages are emerging in coastal areas. With the fiscal position still strong, the government should be able to help enterprises and workers that suffer undue pain from the renminbi's appreciation.
Moreover, while exchange-rate policy is not an instrument for dealing with China's domestic inflation, renminbi appreciation would certainly help the government meet its goal of keeping the annual rate below 4 per cent in 2011.
Indeed, the increase in foreign-exchange reserves has been the single most important monetary source of inflation, as the PBOC has run into trouble sterilising the inflows. The end of intervention in currency markets would allow the PBOC to shrug off the burden of sterilisation and concentrate on fighting inflation.
Ending central-bank intervention in currency markets is a complex issue. The devil is in the details. But, under any circumstances, the economic and welfare costs of China's slow pace in adjusting the renminbi's exchange-rate are too high and will increase by the day.
It is time for China to seriously consider allowing the renminbi to float freely, while reserving the right to intervene when it must, and tighten the management of cross-border capital flows (permissible under last November's G20 agreements).
Yu Yongding, currently President of the China Society of World Economics, is a former member of the monetary policy committee of the Peoples' Bank of China and former Director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of World Economics and Politics.

Wonderful Hiking Poles
I ordered two poles for my 52 year old daughter who is hiking/backpacking up to 300 miles along the north shore of Lake Superior at this time. Received a message six days into their hike that without these poles she would have lost balance many times especially when trekking up rocky hills. She had never used poles before and loves them!
Redesign Leki Cork Grip
The pole is OK and the anti-shock system is great !!!
But the only part that is not up to LEKI standard is the grip!!! the problem is that if the pole falls out of your grip or hand accidentally it comes apart: the top of the grip comes off and one has to put it back on...!!!
Why has LEKI abandoned its "Legendary Cork" grip?!
I have been using the "Wanderfreund" for many years (15 years at least) when I decided to try the anti-shock version which is great but the grip was disappointing...
Please go back to to the one piece cork grip but make a bit wider.Happy hiking with Leki!!!

I purchased the Leki Wounderfreund Premium anti shock 3 piece extension with cork handle color blk/brn 7 years ago and I'm trying to match 3 more with it.
Is there any c/o inventory anywhere of same?
Bob, the cork grip has been gone for quite some time now and I think you will have a hard time finding new stock. Your best bet is to watch www.geartrade.com or check E-Bay on a regular basis.
Bob, I think I saw 3 such poles today at Sports Authority in Overland Park, KS, cork handle with an open space in the handle.
Do you grasp the vertical part of the pole...

Has leki stopped producing this pole with the cork grip?
Having used the cork grip for many years i decided to buy a new pole with the new grip. I found that the new grip is just as comfortable as the cork grip and with the addition of the anti-shock it is perfect. It is just a question of getting used to it, which is no problem as far as I can judge. In due course you will find it is even better than the cork grip.

UK Operator Launches Fractional Program
Business Jet Traveler » October 2007
Monday, October 1, 2007 - 5:00am
Charter operator LyddAir has introduced Airshare, a fractional-ownership program offering pre-owned twin-engine piston and turboprop aircraft. At present, the fleet includes a pair of Piper PA31 Chieftains and a Beech Baron B58. The company, headquartered at Lydd Airport in southeastern England, is preparing to add a Hawker Beechcraft King Air 200. Unlike most fractional programs, Airshare allows owners to fly a specified number of days each year rather than a specific number of flight hours. A one-eighth share in the Chieftains, which sells for $50,000 to $60,000, entitles the owner to fly on 40 days for each year of a five-year agreement.

Vampire Weekend, Yacht
Neumo's, 8 p.m., SOLD OUT
How many of you dissed Vampire Weekend without ever hearing them? Come on, raise your hands! You know you did. And rightfully so. Among purists, there is still something highly inorganic about achieving instant success via Internet buzz. Even worse, these New Yorkers also have Ivy League educations (posers!). But the good thing is that, unlike, say, the Strokes, they don't try to cover up their privilege with rock 'n' roll costumes. Vampire Weekend are pure, saccharine indie pop. They are clean-cut, clever, book-learnin', Afro-inflected pop; there isn't a damn bit of rock 'n' roll in these boys. Internet buzz aside, Vampire Weekend would have ignited some rock-vs.-pop controversy anyway. They are divisive like Belle & Sebastian, the kind of band Stooges fans love to call "pussies." They are indie pop for girls who wear sweaters and boys who tuck in their shirts, which is another way of saying they are completely harmless. Like shopping at Urban Outfitters.
Bon Iver, Phosphorescent, White Hinterland
Nectar, 8 p.m. $10
Retreating to a log cabin in the wintry Northwestern woods to hibernate, and emerging with a nine-track, self-recorded—betwixt trips with an ax to chop wood—full-length makes for precious kindling beneath the Jajaguwar marketing fire. But For Emma, Forever Ago, the sparse solo debut from Bon Iver—aka Justin Vernon—is far from smoke and mirrors, leaving behind glowing embers that linger long after the flames burn down. Composed of not much else than solid sheets of hollow acoustic guitar, sometimes backed with softly tapped rhythms and topped with multiple track overdubs where Vernon's steely falsetto soars, it's clear that three solitary months in the frozen wilderness paradoxically provided the glow necessary to melt away the layers of ice encasing ragged, emotional source material that comes through in his work.
