Two of my friends have had saline and switched to silicone and say they wished they hadn't wasted time with the first set. Hmmm. I kind of want the high, hard softballs.
I also have the nice little skin flap that comes after having 3 babies. Its all dimply and droops down over my pants. Its yucky and I'm constantly fussing with my waistband to "nestle" it back into its place... Gross.
I felt like I don't deserve to even consider having that repaired because last year I gained 15lbs. I told the Dr. that I need to loose the weight and I'd probably be satisfied. He said, go for it, try hard... but the only way that is coming off, is with my help. Hmmm
He also said this "I can make you feel beautiful in a 2 piece" ... those words haven't stopped ringing in my ears since.
I scheduled for both!
Half the money already paid and 17lbs lost!! I am committed. I am supported by loved ones. I am ready.
I fear lots of things... How do I scar? Never had a surgery of any kind. How will my man react to me having scars in place of droops and dimples? Is it a good trade? How will I feel when I look in the mirror? Are my expectations realistic? What kind of pain tolerance am I going to discover I have? Will it be enough? Am I doing the right thing going for it all at once?
So much running around in my head. Today, I had 2 people I love and respect say how happy they are for me. So pleased that after wishing for it for 18yrs, I am allowing myself to do it. That helps lots. : )

Acadia Kinesiology students take on the Acadia Axemen as part of the Hearts on Ice broomball challenge.
©Kirk Starratt
The Valley Cardiac Rehab Society and Hearts on Ice are helping people with chronic illnesses build healthier futures.
The society's 18th annual skating party fundraiser was held at Acadia Arena in Wolfville on Feb. 9, along with walking, games, entertainment, a broomball challenge, food and refreshments. The event is the society's principle fundraiser, having raised $500,000 over its history.
"It's a very successful fundraiser," said Dr. Howard Wightman, the rehab program's medical director.
The program began more than 20 years ago as a volunteer-run, 10-week initiative offered twice a year to patients who had suffered a heart attack. It has since expanded and evolved to provide year-round programs for people afflicted with all forms of heart disease, stroke victims and people with lung disease and diabetes.
Full story to come.

We would like to thank everyone that
has helped us to move forward in paying the accumulated medical bills
from Japan. By the end of the year, we believe we should be close to
$16,000.00 in our goal of $125,000. Our love and thank you goes out to
each and every one of you. Without all your help we would have never
gotten this close in paying these huge bills off.
HitchHiker Guitar business has been moved to CA and is finishing the
first run of HH guitars. The second run will start around the first week
of January. Nokie has finished his new tremolo arm and all his patents
have been made for the bridge and the fabulous new HH (Nokie) Tremolo
Arm for the new year.
The HH
guitars look as beautiful as they sound. They are a bright star for the
new 2013 year coming. Nokie is so proud to be able to put a part of his
love and knowledge in this superb instrument for the fan family and
friends. We hope each of you will be able to put one in your hands to
try thoughout the new year 2013. They will not be sold in the stores,
only on-line and from shows. You will need to visit us at the upcoming
show to buy. A new page will be put up for HitchHIker Guitars toward the
end of January 2013.
Christmas to you all and to all a Wonderful New Year to come. God
Bless Each of You, Nokie & Judy Edwards
P.S. This
just in from the North Pole! (click
here) I knew it, I just knew it!
Update: December 19th...
Thank you
for your donations to the Nokie Hospital and Care program. We are
grateful for all the help from our friends and fan family. We have been
a little slow with our updates due to Nokie's doctor appointments. We
have had to do changes in some of his medications. Some of our medicine
here in the US is different or there is a difference in milligrams to
the Japan mg. Nokie is doing great now on his med's and exercise
programs. Also picking his HitchHiker acoustic guitar up daily. The
music fills our home with warmth and smiles from us both. Amazing what
music can do for the heart and soul. PLEASE help us by passing on the
Nokie Edwards web site address to your Twitter, Facebook and Address
books to help him with the fund raiser. There are now more
pictures of our leaving Japan for home previously...
Plus our making it home for Thanksgiving dinner and also of ANA Airlines
taking excellent care of our trip home coming soon! All our best to you
and your family. God Bless, Nokie & Judy
Update: December 12th...
Nokie has
seen his GP last week and his heart doctor this week. He is moving
forward with his recovery... Which we all know what a strong man he is.
Nokie has his pacemaker check on the 14th of this month and his heart
ultrasound and echo on the 19th. I am sure he will pass with flying
You will all
be happy to know he has picked his guitar up twice this week and is now
on a schedule daily playing guitar except when we are away from home.
Also, he has been working out riding a stationary bicycle twice a day
and getting good exercise. Now if I can figure out how to get him to
play the guitar and ride the exercise bicycle at the same time, I may be
able to get a video of it. Taping his TV remote control to the handlebar
of the bicycle may have had a little something to do with getting him to
ride the exercise bike. Ha! Ha! Ha!
I am asking
friends and fan family if they would help by sending Nokie
Hospital Care links to your email list, Facebook and Twitter
to give us a helping hand. We have been turned down by three programs so
far for help with Nokie's hospital bills. It seems that no one will help
because he was in Japan while his heart attacks took place. I am still
pursuing Medicare and the Indians for help. So as you can see at this
point we could use some moral support. This is one of the hardest things
for me to ask for. I am so used to being on the giving side, not the
receiving side.
We would
like to thank all the friends and fans that have given us support for
the last two months, you all have been a blessing. You can help us
greatly by following through with passing on our link around the world. God
Bless, Judy

Fan Club Merchandise Orders
I know some of you have not gotten your orders yet. Linda and I both apologize
for this. She had a problem with getting into the account to ship the
orders out. We will both be in the office on Friday & Saturday doing
orders to make sure everything goes out. Thank you for being so patient
with us.
Update: November 16th...
We are happy to say Nokie is now walking with his canes or cane for
short distances. Nokie has been discharged from the hospital and is now
in a hotel in Akasaka awaiting for a flight back home.
We will stay
in a hotel for a few days to make sure he is OK to make the long flight
home. He was very tired after being released from the hospital as he
went out to dinner after having checked into the hotel. It took a lot
out of him. I went to the store across the way and got some things for
breakfast. Tomoko came and brought us lunch so we had a nice visit with
Tomoko in our room. Tonight for dinner in our room, Mr. Toda took me to
a nice store just 3 minutes walk from our hotel that had great produce
and fruit and some great American style deli-type food set up. So Nokie
is getting plenty of rest before leaving. We are trying to take very
good care before our trip home. Although, after eating 7/11 and grocery
store take out for two months, I really need to get some Shabu Shabu (Oishi)
before I go home, it is a Japan tradition for me. Maybe I can sneak some
in for lunch or dinner before we go home.
It will take
a lot of steady exercise watching his pills and fluid intake. His has to
stay on top of his diet with the diabetes now. All of this is under
control at this time. His pacemaker and defib is doing good and he has
proper blood flow to his heart. We hope for Nokie's walking to improve
everyday. Also the strength in his arms and hands needs some time. All
in all, I am getting my baby back.
I am posting
some pictures
of Nokie's improvements and saying goodbye at the hospital. They were
very gracious at Saiseikai Central Hospital... Doctors Hasegawa,
Murakami, Higuchi and Endo, and Nokie's wonderful nursing staff. We were
very well taken care of and very well accepted from the director of the
hospital, Mr. Rempei Oyama, MD PhD and senior consultant who looked in
on us often. Nokie and I would recommend this hospital to anyone while
in Japan.
hospital experience was quite like no other we have ever experienced in
the US. I feel that the USA medical system could take some lessons on
"during and after care" for their patients. I'm not saying
that we do not have great doctors, because we in the USA have some of
the best doctors in the world. It is our system that is hurting badly.
In this department we have lost respect for the patient, we are mostly
treated like a "get 'um in and get 'um out" program. Our
doctors are so loaded down there is mass confusion for the patients. Our
cost of medical care has gone through the roof. We have also forgot how
to treat our elderly, they should receive the same treatment and as fast
as you would treat someone young... No matter what age and what medical
condition. We should all be given a full physical every year... One day
in the hospital for a full check up. Not just temperature, blood
pressure, cough, a couple blood tests, and if you are lucky, a urine
sample... More of us need to wake up our American Medical System. If we
can give free medical to all the illegals and welfare, than we need to
be able to take care of ALL the working men and women and our Seniors
first. Boy, you sure can tell I had two months in a foreign hospital.
Good thing it wasn't three months, this message could have been three
pages long! It's not about that we still owe so much after paying Sendi
Hospital, being at two hospitals, two ICU units, rehabilitation twice,
and in a hospital room that accompanied me along with Nokie. This last
hospital is partly paid and this is our bill with no foreign medical
insurance... A huge lesson for all Americans... Do not travel (work or
no work) with out medical insurance. I am very sorry if I have offended
anyone with our personal feelings, but I guess when you have first-hand
experience like Nokie and I have had, you wake up even more to what is
going on around you in the world.
photo's for your viewing enjoyment.
You will get a kick out of Nokie working with his rehabilitation doctor.
He heads out the door ahead of him with one cane as you can see in the
pictures the therapist is following him with Nokie's second cane. Also
in the hall walking, the therapist still has one of his canes in his
hand and Nokie is walking proud. Again at the bed side, he is showing
off headed back to his bed with no canes. Also leaving the hospital we
gathered as Nokie got out of his wheel chair to take some photos of our
friends, Mr. Yarimizu, and Tomoko and the Ventures with Nokie... Tohoku
and Sendi area local Ventures tribute band members. Some great fun with
everyone before leaving the hospital.
After I am
home, I will do a recap of our stay in Japan from Tohoku Sendi
University Hospital to Tokyo Saiesakai Central Hospital. We would also
like to thank all the family, friends and fan family around the world
for donating to our charity fund at GoFundMe.com
which was set up to help us with the huge bills we still have left to
pay from the two months of surgeries, ICU, ICCU and rehabilitation while
in Japan during his two heart failures. We have a long goal to reach.
For those of you waiting to donate to a PayPal account, we are trying to
set up a donation button shortly. We hope by Monday this button will be
set up. Feel free to donate to the GoFundMe account if you are able. All
proceeds will go into the same account to pay for Nokie's Hospital bills
and medical care program.
God Bless
you all... Nokie and I thank you for every donation sent. We know these
are trying times and appreciate your help. Nokie & Judy
Update: November 10th...
I know you have all been waiting for this. Sorry for the delay, I have
been very busy and very exhausted. It's a long one...
Nokie went
into surgery on last Friday Nov. 9th. GREAT SUCCESS when doctor Ayaka
Endo walk out of surgery with a big smile on her face, I knew it was
a successful surgery. A little hard waiting when the time went into
overtime again. Yet a little hard sitting all alone waiting to find out
the news. I know Nokie is a strong man and the good Lord has his hands
on him. With all the prayers around the world it was going to be a
successful surgery. I feel like I am not giving enough faith in his
doctors in that I worry. I guess it is just my nature to worry about my
man even when I know he has such great prayers and great doctors and I
know the Lord is there with him. Nokie is so lucky to have his four
doctors looking out over him and a great nursing staff and
rehabilitation staff to follow up with his treatment and medication that
we are very blessed there to.
Saiseikai-Chu-O-Hospital has been so gracious to also allow me to stay
here in Nokie's room as this is not normally done at this hospital in
Tokyo. At Sendi Hospital they allow the family members to stay and even
have a special floor that caters to this. This was easy there. But
Saiseikai doesn't allow this. So I have to make a special thank you to
the hospital for allowing me to stay with Nokie by his side to help take
care of him and also what we had been through with his heart failure I
did not want to leave his side.
Many of you
have asked what all Nokie has had done since we have arrived in Tokyo
Saiseikai Hospital after the second heart failure. Nokie has received a
new four lead pacemaker with a defibrillator attached to it. He was
watched very closely with the proper medication along with
rehabilitation and diet for his diabetes to help get him stronger so he
could have a possible bypass and or valve replacement. When they felt
Nokie was strong enough, they went in to do a anagram to view the heart
and put a pressure wire to the arteries. This was to make sure this
could fix some of the problems so he could fly home safe to make
decisions on an open heart surgery. With many prayers on our side...
When the doctors went in to check with the pressure wire device, they
found out that they could fix this problem by putting three stints in
and found out he will NOT need a Bypass or a Valve Replacement!
The good Lord has shined on Nokie once again.
He will have to continue
to have his Pacemaker and Defibrillator checked every 6 months to one
year and keep his diet and medication on track, also needing to continue
with exercise to get stronger. This will take some more work when we get
home. So I will have to try hard to keep him on track. We have some more
work here to do with Nokie getting stronger to be able to travel. With
the last two days back in bed and going through another surgery we are
not starting from scratch. but his muscles in his legs are weak again.
Also the sedation from the surgery has slowed him down some. Please keep
the prayers coming his way and we hope to be home soon. By the way, once
again we would like to give a big thank you to Nokie's doctors Ayaka
Endo, Dr. Hasegawa, Dr. Higuchi, Dr. Murakami all of you your work was
excellent in both surgeries. We could have not asked for better results.
We would recommend you as doctors and your hospital (Saiseikai Hospital)
to anyone in need of medical attention. God Bless
For the fans
waiting for long lost orders, my sister Linda is once again going to be
able to help us out by filling all the outstanding orders. Many fans may
remember Linda from her help in the office when we lived in Oregon.
Thank you for being patient with me in regards to NEFC orders. The
shipping will start the middle of next week.
We are also
very sorry to let you know the young man that many of our fan family and
FB friends have been praying for Micah J. Bialy has lost his battle with
his cancer. He made his peace with the Lord. He is a big believer in the
Lord. He just turned fourteen years old in October and has gone to
heaven with no more pain to endure. He passed on Nov. 9th. Micah
family... Our warm thoughts and prayers go out to each one of you. To
the entire family of Micah.... Love to you all, Nokie & Judy
Update: November 6th...
Nokie will go through another surgery they have him scheduled for Friday
Morning. He will need some stints done. They are going to make a safer
trip back for Nokie and do his stints here before he leaves Japan. He
has great doctors working with him and a wonderful staff. He is in the
30% to 40% range now with his heart 50 to 60% would be better, but he
has gained a lot of ground from 20 to 30%. The doctors are really happy
with his progress and so is Nokie and I. Nokie is feeling stronger every
day. Your prayers have been very powerful. Keep those prayers coming.
God Bless, we love you all. Nokie & Judy
Update: November 2nd...
everyone enjoyed their Halloween parties and hope everyone paid
attention to scary children, grandchildren and neighbors. That is always
so much fun!
Nokie is
moving forward with rehabilitation. Doing good and getting stronger
everyday. As he becomes stronger, they are keeping close watch on his
vitals so they can evaluate his heart problems.
Nokie has
very good doctors. Nokie and I both have a lot of faith in his doctors.
We will keep you up dated as we move forward. In the meantime here are
some more pictures. I have also been having
some fun posting some archive pictures on our "Judy Edwards
Facebook" page. Thought I would post some this weekend for those of
you who are not on the FB page. Hope you enjoy at look at our past.
Please put the people of the east coast on your prayer list. Love... Judy
October 27th...
All our best
to each and everyone of you. We would like to thank all our Japan Fan
Family for helping to support us in our time of need. Your love and
support here has been overwhelming. All the prayers coming from all over
the world have been so strong. We both know that God is also watching
over us and He did make Himself present in both our lives.... Judy
October 26th...
The doctors
are all real happy about his progress. His surgery went real well. He
has made the improvements that they hoped for. As for now, their number
one goal is to get Nokie strong enough to make the trip home. They are
checking for any other problems that he might have and so far he is
passing with flying colors. He has some pain on his left side in the
surgery area, but this is expected in this type of implant of this
size pacemaker and defibrillator, plus it being a little harder to get this in. Remember the surgery took a few hours longer than expected. Some
fans were worried when they got word from people that Nokie was having
pain. Please don't worry, he is fine and it is normal to have some pain
in this area.
We will
still remain near the hospital in Tokyo to make sure he is ready to make
the trip. Keep praying for a strong recovery. I will keep you all posted
in the mean time here are some more
pictures. Also a thank
you to nurses and staff around the hospital. I will load some more
pictures Saturday or Sunday for you. Love to you all... Judy
October 21st...
I did not
have the young man's name that assisted me when Nokie stopped breathing
in the hotel room the second time. This was at Hotel Avanshell Akasaka.
I would like to thank him from both Nokie and I. There are not words big
enough for me to show my gratitude to Masaomi Kojima and the staff at
Hotel Avanshell. I am posting more pictures
for your viewing... Nokie is on his way to surgery with Yoshi and I
following close behind. Dr. Endo and some of the hospital staff at
Saiseikai Central Hospital and also pictures of Nokie in his new room
with friends. Thank you Tatsuyoshi and Noriko Narita and Akia for all
your help..... Judy
October 19th...
Nokie is out of
surgery just after 11 PM tonight. Longer than expected, but it went
great. He was in good spirits all day and then 3 PM rolled around and he
showed me signs he was ready to go and get his problem fixed. He knew he
was in good hands with Dr. Endo and the team of doctors (which I will
give all their names with tomorrow's updates). They had a couple prior
emergencies so they got a little later start at 4 PM. Mr. Yoshi Okaya
met us in Nokie's room and went down with us to wait outside the surgery
room. Mr. Akio Nonaka met us later downstairs outside the surgery room
as well.
Knowing the
surgery was going to take at least 3 hours or a little more, I went for
coffee and a snack in the hospital before going to the waiting room.
Earlier I spoke to Mrs. Kayama to let her and her husband know what
hospital Nokie was in and what had happened to Nokie. It was so good to
hear her voice. She immediately called with her warm wishes and prayers
for Nokie and to let her husband know what was happening. Mr. Kayama,
knowing one of his very good friends was the head of staff of this
hospital, Senior Consultant Mr. Rempei Oyama, MD, PhD, of Saiseikai
Central Hospital, called to check on Nokie. Also their daughter went to
school with Nokie's attending Doctor, Mrs. Endo. What a small world we
really do live in.
Mr. Rempei
Oyama came and found me to assure me they were taking very good care of
Nokie and that he had stepped into the surgery room to check on him and
the surgery was going well. It was a pleasure to know Nokie was in such
good hands and everyone was praying and helping him to get through his
surgery. As I said earlier, the surgery was very long. It took seven
hours and when I got to see him back in his room, it was after 11 PM. He
was resting still sedated. Everything went as planned... They replaced
his pacemaker with a defibrillator attached to help his heart when
needed and added two more leads for the pacemaker making it four leads
now. This will protect him from having another heart failure. He has a
lot of rehabilitation to do and it will be another 10 day to two weeks.
He will still need to get the strength back in his legs and be able to
walk on his own. This will come with time. As you all know this did not
affect his playing as you seen in the pictures
posted. He was talking
about doing some shows and where he would like to play before he left
for surgery today. So you can bet he will be back playing in no time at
all. He is a strong man, but I have never seen music work as fast on
anyone in my lifetime as I have for Nokie. Put a guitar in his hands and
he will bounce back every time. Thank you Tohoku University Hospital,
Sendi and Saiseikai Central Hospital and your staff of excellent doctors
and for all the prayers and God laying his hands on my husband once
again. God has always been there for us, together with all the strong
prayers from our family and fan family around the world... We love you!
A huge hug
with lots of love to Mr. & Mrs. Yuzo Kayama and their family for all
your prayers and help tonight. God Bless you all. Please
watch for more updates when Nokie is moved from EICU. Keep those strong
prayers coming, we have a ways to go. Love, Judy
October 17th...
They have moved the pacemaker surgery up for tomorrow around 3 or 4 pm
our time. It should take a little over 3 hours. I will update really
late tomorrow. Being I will be at the hospital most of the night, please
put some heavy praying on your list for Nokie tomorrow. I know God will
be with Nokie and Dr. Mukakami and her staff in the surgery room. He
has brought Nokie far with all the prayers and great staff of doctors
here in Japan.
I am sending
some more pictures to all our
family and fan family to see Nokie leaving Sendi and moving on to Tokyo.
Also checking the new HitchHiker 0077 out from his bed at the University
Hospital in Sendi with Toda. Also, when Tomoko arrived to see the first
US made HitchHikerTM
guitar, she fell in love with it. I think she will be playing one soon.
Love to
everyone back home and here in Japan. Thank you from my heart for all
your support. Love, Judy-san
UPDATE FOR ALL FAMILY OF NOKIE and FAN FAMILY:
Nokie collapsed
(10/16) again needing CPR and then started breathing about 2 minutes
before the fire department rescue team came. Tokyo fire department
and paramedics continued to take care of Nokie until moving him to the
Tokyo Hospital. He is resting now in the ICU at a Tokyo Hospital. They
will be installing a new pacemaker and a defibrillator in as soon as
possible. I will give more updates soon as I can. Please continue to
keep our prayer chain strong. I would like to thank the entire staff at
the hotel for calling the fire department and paramedics as fast as they
could. Especially for the young man at the front desk that came to my
side in my room to help me while I was performing CPR. Please keep
your prayers strong. Love, Judy
October 10th...
Good news! Looks
like we will be leaving the hospital on Friday (10/12) if all goes well
with rehabilitation. Nokie has been doing real good, he has a great
therapist that has been working with him daily. Plus, he has to do his
exercises twice more a day on his own. We will be moving to Tokyo on
Friday and spend a couple days there for Nokie to get a little stronger.
Than on our way home.
We are so
grateful to Nokie's doctors... Dr. Takahashi and his staff at Tohoku
Hospital. The nurses have all been wonderful with Nokie and I. I have a
few more pictures and will send
more tomorrow night. Thank you Mikiko and Junko for coming and doing
massage on me. I have done so much better the last couple days. They are
a double power of massage on Nokie which really helped him feel so much
better last night. Also wanting the thank Hideniko and Junko Abe for
their on-going support and being here almost everyday. A couple pictures
of V-Gold Ventures. Also a big thank you to our Coca-Cola man from Sendi...
Beautiful flowers they arrived yesterday. Thank you to our Monday day
nurse for helping us to get Nokie to smile big! Tommy Emmanuel, thank
you for the email, wish we all would have been closer. Osaka was a
little too far from Sendi this time. We will be catching you at CAAS I
hope in July. You take care Tommy, if you read this, have a great tour.
Thank you for checking in on the "Big Indian". Once again our
love goes out to all praying and sending messages to my honey in arms,
he will be back playing great music for you in no time at all. Watch for
pictures of Nokie and Toda checking out a new HitchHIker Guitar that
just arrived from the states. Yes, he did his check in Sendi Japan right
from his hospital bed... Looks beautiful, a diamond in the rough. Boys
and girls, the USA HitchHiker Custom Shop is now open for business!
And last,
but not least... Yes OK, one of those pictures is a cheat, it's from
three years ago in Scottsdale AZ. Thanks to our friends Mr. and Mrs.
Garvin and our friends at the Buffalo Chip for the prayers and keeping
track of Nokie's progress. We hope to come over to Cave Creek and see
you soon. Pick us a song this weekend. Love to you all... — Judy
October 7th...
Nokie is
improving everyday. We went for a stroll on the 1st floor. He has gotten
out of bed for two days now. He has been doing his exercise daily. With
him moving about, this should help to strengthen his leg muscles. On
Tuesday he will have an x-ray of his hip to see what is going on with
all the pain in his hip. On Wednesday another heart test. We should have
a lot more news on Thursday. He is still building up his muscles to be
able to stand alone and maybe walk alone a little. Here are a few
to cheer you all up and to be able to see with your own eyes that he is
doing better.
We have so
many people to thank. So I would like to start my list tonight. I will
add to this as we go along as you know my Japanese is not so good... So
this will take me another week to round up all the names... The fire
department and paramedics at the Yamagada area that picked Nokie up at
the hotel to transport him to the Yamagada hospital.... Doctors there
took care of Nokie to stabilize him even further so he could be moved to
Tohoku Sendi Hospital.... The ICU doctors and nurses took over. It is
then that Dr. Takahashi took over with Nokie to give him this great care
with his great staff... Some of the best doctors and nurses that I have
seen in the world. His rehabilitation has been moving along slowly, but
this is what they want, for it is best for him. He will start getting
stronger when he is ready to move a little faster.
I will be
getting all the names of the paramedics and fire department that saved
Nokie's life. Of course we all know who Kerry Marx is. If it weren't for
him performing CPR on Nokie to keep him breathing until the fire
department arrived, Nokie may have left us... Mr. Hirofumi Tsukamoto was
with Nokie all the way to Yamagata hospital and helped to transport him
to the Sendi area. His father came today to visit Nokie. Mr. Hisashi
Tsukamoto thank you for all the rolls and cookies, plus the fresh peanut
butter cream... Yummmmm! Mr. & Mrs. Abe have been here with us
almost every other day to help us in any way they can. Their help has
been a blessing. They brought me many things I needed to try to set up a
little house in the room that I am staying in with Nokie at the
hospital. Also their friends Mr. & Mrs. Jun Onodera have been been a
great help too. Also they speak a little English which has helped us
all. Mr. Taiichi Ko-Nosu and Mr. Matsuda has been wonderful with all
their help. Mr. Tomiyama has been right there for us. All of the Nokie
Japan Fan Family and Mr. Toda, we would not have been able to make it
without you and right-hand lady Fumie, she has been a huge help to us
I would like
to thank Tomoko and Kerry and the rest of the bands for carrying on the
shows and performing. We pray in Nokie's name for a quick recovery.
Toda's help
has been God's Blessing. Both Nokie and I thank you all so much. I know
I have missed names because I do not have everyone's name written down,
but we love and thank you all. I am sure I will be writing one of these
letters again soon. All pray for this week to go as good as this last
week. Love... Judy
October 5th...
Nokie has made
some great leaps and bounds. Also, starting his therapy has helped a
lot. Now that he is feeling better, he is getting spunky. If he will
just make sure to listen to the doctor is another thing. He is wanting
to head home and I feel the same way, but strength and health needs to
be the priority. If only I can get him to follow through with this!
Although Dr.
Takahashi is one tuff cookie, he is not going to let Nokie get on an
airplane without making sure he is strong enough to fly. Nokie needs to
be able to stand and walk on his own. This is the goal for the doctor.
Also I believe they have one more test to complete on Nokie. Let's all
keep praying to keep my hard-headed Indian on the right track. I will
try to get a couple of pictures this weekend for you. So keep an eye on
this web site.
One last
thing I think y'all will get a kick out of... It is really something
special for Mark & Carol Pritcher. Guess who's music Nokie was
listening to when they moved him to CCU... Chet Atkins' music from the
early years. Tsutomu Negami and Akio Nonaka brought it to the hospital.
They said Nokie would like to listen to this. When I found out what it
was, it floored me. I could tell it was good because they put the ear
buds in Nokie's ears and instantly Nokie started smiling! It is the kind
of thing that brings tears to your eyes.
Once again
thank you to the nursing staff and the doctors taking care of Nokie. You
are doing a beautiful job. If something like this was going to happen,
it is a good thing it happened here. Even across Japan the Japanese Fan
Family are telling me this is the best cardiovascular hospital that
Nokie could be at. I would recommend Tohoku Sendi Hospital to anyone
around the world. Keep the prayers coming.... Love, — Nokie &
October 1st...
Dr. Jun Takahashi said Nokie's test went very good today. They are going
to do one more test on his heart in the next day or so. Let's all keep
the Prayer chain going for the "Nokster".
If all is
good, the doctor should be moving him to another room in the next day or
two. He is eating better and had some humor flowing today. Toda, Yoshi
and friends were here today waiting with me for the test results. Kerry
flew in from Sapporo to visit on his way to Tokyo. It was great to see
another happy face. Nokie even had a few humorous comments for Kerry and
so did Kerry for Nokie. Even though he is very tired tonight from the
test he had today, he is eating better and with his humor back you
should all know he is on the road to recovery. We are all so happy with
the test results we would have cheered with some Saki if we could
have.... — Judy
Update: Sunday Sept.
30th... BIG News...
He trusts
this doctor very much, so we took the question to him with the
translator with us. The doctor explained what he was going to do and
said there are some risks so he had to make sure Nokie understood. Nokie
signed the paper and we now move forward. The procedure is scheduled for
Monday at 9 AM Japan time. I won't know anything else until Monday
afternoon.... — Judy
Saturday Afternoon Sept. 29th...
Nokie is eating more. They are now letting me bring him things he favors
to eat more than the hospital food. They have taken almost all the IV's
off of him now. He is still wanting to get out of bed, but this is going
to have to wait until he is stronger. His legs are very weak. After the
meeting with the doctors this evening, we will know more about
rehabilitation. I hope Nokie will be moved to another room so that I can
spend more time with him. Maybe we can get a good card game going. If I
can get that guitar in his hands, I know this will help. Right now he
says he wants to wait. They brought a electric guitar to the hospital. I
will see about getting an acoustic one here. It might be a little easier
for him to handle right now. Maybe one of the Voyage Air guitars like I
sell it would be easier to fold up and sit in the corner of his room. He
has a good view of the mountains and some trees so maybe this will
inspire him to write a song.
Thank you
again for your prayers. Don't stop now, we have him on a roll to
recovery. The doctors and nurses are taking excellent care of him. Love,
— Judy
Update: Thursday
Sept. 27th...
They took
one more IV off today. So I think he is down to five. He's still not
liking the food because it's still blended. Not too many ways you can
blend tuna and seaweed! He doesn't care for blended rice neither. He
should be out of CCU soon. We hope in two or three days. Nokie is still
wanting to play his guitar and still asking for plenty of ice water.
Although I think he has finally realized why the doctors don't want him
to drink as much ice water.
Hey I think
I have a new song title, "That Stubborn Little Indian"! Maybe
there's a new song to write. Bresh you and Lisa get on it. You are both
great writers and when you write together there is double trouble.
Keep the
prayer chain strong. We have a little ways to go so don't let us down. I
will keep you all updated as much as I can. Love, — Judy
Nokie is in a little better
spirits tonight, but he was not too happy when they said he could try to
eat a little.... They gave him a tray full of blended food. He maybe had
two things on the plate. I don't blame him, pretty bad! We did get a
good laugh out of the blended tuna. Yuk!
Nokie will
still be a little sedated for another couple days. They have to bring
him off sedation more slowly. He only has five IV's now, which should go
down to one or two IV's tomorrow if the night goes well. They have to
keep close watch on his heart still, but he is showing them how strong
he is.
You know he
is getting stronger when he continues to try to figure out how to get
more ice water out of the nurses. The doctors have him on a limit of
water. Nokie loves his ice water. They had him on 500 cc's the first day
with no tube. Now he is up to 1000 cc's. It is kind of funny watching
him try to talk them into it. They are very stubborn and won't give in.
Glad they are dealing with it. If everything goes well, they will move
him to a regular room in 2 or 3 days.
Love to
everyone and thank you so much for all your prayers. Keep on praying,
there is nothing like the power of prayer. I would also like to give a
big thank you to "Breshman", Bob Sickler, Mr. Tomiyama, Kenji
Toda, Underground Fire (UF2), Walt Staggner and everyone else that is
helping to keep the prayers coming and the fan family posted with
updates, Nokie and I both thank you all. — Judy
Just got
back from Hospital...
Nokie was singing me a song "Happy Days Are Here Again". They
are moving him to the heart ward tomorrow. He can now drink more water
and is trying eat a little. He would have been doing a dance, but they
still won't let him get out of bed! The doctor said all x-rays of the
heart and lungs look real good and clear.
Doctors have
also been successful in removing all of the excess fluid in his body. He
is still sedated a little and they will slowly take him off the
sedatives. It will take about four days more. He will be in CCU - ICU
for two days and than move to a regular room to be watched for another 5
days. Than he may be able to go home and not have to go to a Tokyo
hospital. The doctor said he is making a quick great recovery. He is a
strong man.
Tomorrow is
another day, my hours will change for visiting less time in CCU and only
twice a day. So I will have time to do some laundry and get a little
more sleep. Hope to bring him home soon.
All my best
to y'all with a lot of love for all your prayers for my love Nokie... —
Today Is a Better

While he's accused of failing to honor the terms of his five-year contract, the 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' host insists the claims made by the cable channel against him are untrue.
It seems that Keith Olbermann's termination from Current TV will lead to a bitter war between the two camps. The cable channel announced on Friday, March 30 that it fired its lead anchor after hiring him one year ago, claiming that Olbermann no longer respects the network's "values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers."
Sharing his own side of the story, Olbermann soon took it to Twitter to say, "I'd like to apologize to my viewers and my staff for the failure of Current TV. Editorially, Countdown had never been better." He added, "But for more than a year I have been imploring Al Gore and Joel Hyatt to resolve our issues internally, while I've been not publicizing my complaints, and keeping the show alive for the sake of its loyal viewers and even more loyal staff."
"Nevertheless, Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt, instead of abiding by their promises and obligations and investing in a quality news program, finally thought it was more economical to try to get out of my contract," he continued in his long note. Saying the claims against him that are implied in Current's statement are untrue, he declared that it "will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently."
To replace the "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" host, former New York Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer has been tapped to take over the 8 P.M. time slot with a new program called "Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer", effective Friday night. "We are confident that our viewers will be able to count on Governor Spitzer to deliver critical information on a daily basis," Gore and Hyatt said in a statement.
While Current declined interview requests about the termination, an insider revealed that the decision was prompted by a series of errors made by Olbermann, including breaching his contract by not showing up to work, sabotaging the network and attacking Current. The 53-year-old political commentator, who was an anchor at MSNBC before joining Current, missed 19 of 41 working days during January and February.

|The American Society of International Law and the American University Washington College of Law's Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law are pleased to present a three-part continuing legal education (CLE) series to provide a forum for the better understanding and discussion of human rights and humanitarian law theory. In the last two decades international criminal courts such as the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Tribunal for Rwanda have issued judgments characterizing gender-based crimes as war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, depending on the context in which the crimes had been perpetrated. On the other hand, as of today, the International Criminal Court delivered the first judgment in the Case of Thomas Lubanga Dyilo in 2012, but did not consider the alleged perpetration of gender-based crimes by the defendant because the Office of the Prosecutor failed to incorporate those crimes among the charges brought against Lubanga Dyilo. Later on, the ICC accepted the inclusion of victims of sexual violence within the scope of the reparations to be awarded in this case. Furthermore, the ICC is currently considering gender-based crimes in the Katanga Case, the decision of which is forthcoming. The speakers in this panel are all experienced judges of international tribunals who participated in the decision of cases where gender-based crimes were involved. They will assess the successes and failures of these international courts to provide redress to the victims of sexual violence. Speakers: Elizabeth Odio Benito, Former Judge, International Criminal Court and Former Vice-President, ICTY Fausto Pocar, Former Judge, ICTY Moderator: Elizabeth Andersen, Executive Director and Executive Vice President, The American Society of International Law

Tis the season for exchanges. No, silly, not exchanging gifts you don't want. We're talking about Cookie Exchange and Ornament Exchange parties!!
Christmas Cookie Exchange Party
Love Christmas cookies but don't want to do all that baking? Then host a cookie swap. The rules are simple: bake a half dozen or full dozen of the same cookies for each guest attending — plus an extra dozen to set out at the actual party for sampling. This means you only have to buy one type of ingredients for one type of cookie — and once you get the hang of the mixing, baking and decorating, they'll go pretty quickly.
The most important part of any good cookie exchange is the planning. Set a guest list of 10-15 people and make sure everyone RSVP's so everyone knows how many people to plan for. Make sure that everyone chooses a different type of cookie, so you don't end up with 6 batches of chocolate chips (though who would complain, really?). You might even make it mandatory that they be "Christmas" cookies and decorated as such. And make sure everyone brings a container to haul all their cookies home in. It's also nice to stick a copy of your cookie recipe in with each batch of cookies you bring so the recipient can make more if they love them.
Christmas Ornament Exchange Party
An ornament party is a lot less work, and each guest brings one ornament and leaves with one ornament. Set a price guideline (usually $10 or $15) and ask each guest to bring one wrapped ornament. Put them all on a table and number them. Then have your guests draw matching numbers out of a hat. Everyone can open their ornaments all at once, but it's generally more fun to go around the room and watch people open their ornament and then try to guess who brought it.

In the Washington Post's June 5 Prince George's County Extra insert, staffer Hamil Harris penned a story focused on how Barack Obama's decision to leave his controversial church "is not sitting well with some African American pastors and scholars in Prince George's County."
Harris went on to quote two preachers disappointed with Obama, as well as University of Maryland's Ronald Walters, a reliably liberal pundit. The closest Harris found to being critical of Obama's former church was a pastor who conceded that some ministers may need to "rethink how [their] message of liberation is being communicated."
At no point in Harris's 11-paragraph story, however, did he pick up on any county clergy who have strong misgivings about Rev. Jeremiah Wright or Trinity's theology and its impact on the faith community.
Perhaps Harris should add Prince George's County minister Bishop Harry R. Jackson, Jr. to his Rolodex. Jackson serves as the senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Md., and has devoted at least two of his recent Townhall.com columns to critiquing the theology and temperment of Obama's former senior pastor. From Jackson's May 5 column, "The Way That Seems Wright" (emphasis mine):
Last Monday morning, Rev. Jeremiah Wright confirmed to the world that concern about his theology and worldview was justified. In response to his critics he said that criticism of his opinions was part of a media attack on the black church. As an African-American preacher, I was surprised at Reverend Wright's presumption and hubris.
Most people I talked to after the event, felt that Jeremiah Wright's true colors came out in his press conference. Most evangelical bible scholars were concerned about Wright's answer to the question of whether Muslims will go to heaven. Given his flippant answer, theologically conservative Christians concluded that Rev. Wright is preaching "another gospel" as the apostle Paul termed the divisive heresies of his day.
From Jackson's March 17 column, "The Foolishness of Preaching" (emphasis mine):
As an African American minister who has spent over 25 years attempting to promote racial unity, I am disappointed with Pastor Wright's presentation of the gospel.
His message unhealthily taps into the deep sense of rejection and victimization that many blacks have experienced over the years. He painted Hillary as a person who has lived in the lap of luxury compared to the ordeals that Senator Obama and other Blacks go through daily. In the name of "telling it like it is" old wounds can be re-opened - without the benefit of clear solutions. The kind of "scape goating" and blame shifting that was done by the Chicago pastor is especially unfortunate because our nation has all the tools necessary to solve generational poverty, educational disparities, and business and real estate ownership issues.
We all should be mature enough to realize that it appears that Pastor Wright is trapped in identity based politics at its worst. Instead creating hope this pastor's world view may inadvertently reinforce a sense of hopelessness.
How can we move beyond the racial wounds of the past? The answer lies more in faith than in politics. Only the church can say that prejudice is a sin. Only the church can impact the conscience of an entire nation. A clear headed church can unite Blacks, whites, Asians, and Hispanics based upon the common ground of the scriptures to address both problems and solutions.

"Things That Expand In All Directions"
April 2009
50/50 Artist Collective, Victoria BC
Group Show with:
Jess Rees - Seattle WA
Gabrielle Hanlon - Victoria BC
Mary Catherine Tucker - Costa Rica
Lynn Hunter - Brooklyn NY
The title of this show, as well as the piece I contributed to it, reflect primarily the relationship between the artists. Throughout ones life many people come and go, and as a result we learn. As we 4 artists have expanded our distances and grown across the continent, so have we expanded our knowledge and grown our minds. The multi-media musings on expansion and contraction are the result of the sense that we've all exploded outward from the origin of our meeting, and continues to expand as a group that is still connected.

How do you keep Santa secrets from young children while being with them all day?
My parents were sneaky Santa Clauses. I tried to stay up until 2 or 4 AM, but I never caught them. When I woke up, beautifully wrapped presents magically appeared by my pillow every year. I'm embarrassed a little, but I believed in Santa until almost 12 years old. Then my thoughtful neighbor girl, 10, told me one day, "Please don't tell my youngest sister about Santa. She still believes in him. But I don't understand why anyone wouldn't notice that he is our parents." Within a split second, all the wonders made sense and I managed to reply, "Yeah, neither do I."
Even after I told my mom what I had learned that day, my parents continued the tradition until I was out of the house. When I visit them during Christmas, they still do it.
Now I want to do the same to my children, but being a homeschooling mom, I'm finding this task a little more difficult than I anticipated. I remembered what my children said they wanted from the stores we went; took my husband there on a date night and asked for his opinions; and we are still discussing what we should get. My husband didn't complain, but this was more of a chore than what he wanted to do on a date night: Watch a movie and relax.
I sometimes feel like giving in by telling my children so that I could buy what they want in front of them, wrap them in our wrapping paper to save money, and give them out without secrets. But I cannot undo the effect, so we're still hanging on. I thought of buying things online, but then my children will see the UPS coming and wonder why Mommy doesn't open packages with them only in December. I could do this during summer, but then their Christmas presents may not be what they want at the time. I thought of sending them to my relatives, but they don't like keeping extra stuff in their houses.
Wrapping presents in secret is another hard task. I have been doing it every year, but I may start asking my husband to just measure the presents and go buy bags. Last year, I wrapped them in our wrapping paper and our oldest daughter asked why Santa and we had the same papers. Epic fail. I told her that Santa wanted to borrow our wrapping paper. Horrible, I know. I'm not a good lier. But she wants to believe in Santa, so she is still believing. So I need to be extra careful this year. I don't want them to hear the sound of bags either, so my husband will have to bag them in his car. But then they may stay up and see my husband bringing in presents to the house. I could ask him to put them in a black plastic bag, but that looks suspicious too.
How do you guys do it? Did you already tell them who Santa was? If so, how old were they? I have 4 children and the oldest is 8 years old.
You sound like you have a great relative support. My MIL doesn't come until after Christmas every year... Yes, a different wrapping paper is a must... I really like that you write handwritten personalized notes for each child. What a creative way to show appreciation for each of them. I love and cherish your mom's explanation. I'd like to pass that on once our children discover who Santa is. Thank you for sharing.
Quoting TJandKarasMom:
Also, when my kids do figure it out and ask, I give them the answer my mom gave me which I think is awesome....that I believe there is a Santa out there, but he helps kids and families that really need it. Since we can afford presents, we buy them. But this is also why we buy for a family even though we don't have a lot ourselves..we are Santa to them. There really is the magic of Santa out there, even if he's not just one man with a sleigh and a bunch of elves!
I totally agree. We should be appreciating who we have, not a magical person. It's convenient for parents to say, "You have to be good, or Santa won't come," but you are right; this may give them a wrong idea that only good kids get presents on Christmas. Thank you for pointing that out! And I cannot appreciate enough of you and your family's service and sacrifice to keep this country safe.

We don't do Santa. My kids know my husband works and gets paid for the time he spends away from us in the military... its only fair they know who buys the toys ... especially when dad's not here to spend time with them... not to mention that some kids don't get anything and its not cause they were bad ... its cause parents don't all have money... So we celebrate eachother and people and happy times... we give each other gifts that are thoughtfully picked for each member and the others know it.... Honesty and Reality is the best policy.... we teach are kids to stay away from strangers... then send them off to sit in strange mens laps and take there pictures.... while telling them the deepest hopes for the holidays... in hopes some magical being will break in on christmas eve and leave it under the tree..... that is the magic of christmas!
What a logical smart boy! My husband never believed in Santa either. He says he had a fine childhood :)
Quoting chotovec82:
I agree. We have never perpetuated the Santa myth. I'm glad to because reading this post stressed me out. Also my son would have never believed in him. When he was three we went to a veterans day parade that my husband was in. There was a man in a shark costume for the Marine Squadran marching in the parade. My son says to me, "Mommy Mommy that's so silly." I said, "what's so silly?" He says, "the shark; they don't live on land they live in water. That's just a man in a shark outfit!"

I like your approach that this can be a teaching moment of generosity. It's true that Santa's presents don't have to come to the pillows or under the tree. Door step may be enough. I wonder if Santa can realistically catch up with technology and use Amazon gift wrap option...
Quoting debramommyof4:
My oldest turns 8 two days after Christmas. We usually wrap Christmas Eve. The kids go shopping with us and we get stuff for all our "friends kids". Thank goodness they are about the same age.
Santa brings our Christmas tree and he has since my oldest was two. We were not going to have a tree that year because we did not have money for presents and she asked for a tree so we told her Santa might bring it. He did along with a ton of toys that showed up that year on our door step already wrapped. The girls had an amazing Christmas that year. Even though I saw who dropped it of, my embarrassing secret is I still believe in Santa and I am 29.
Every year no matter how broke we are the spirit of Christmas has been there and seen us through. If they ever decide Santa is not real that is fine. And I expect they will figure out Santa is not one man that goes around the world in a single night. But I hope that does not cause them to loose the magic and spirit of giving that created that man.
That sounds ideal. I used to do big birthday parties, but when I stopped, it was way more relaxing and enjoyable. I'm starting to think that I should stop this Christmas frenzy too...
Quoting 2chillins4me:
My children are 12, 6, 3, and 1. They all know Santa doesn't bring gifts. We tell them the truth and go from there. We enjoy the togetherness of the season. We don't focus on the gifts at all. They get 4 a piece and no one complains. It makes for a very relaxing season, instead of over stressing.
I order stuff online and just tell him that he can't open them because there are presents in there. He never knows that there are Santa gifts mixed in with gifts from mom. I tend to wrap them as I get them and then put them up in boxes in my closet. D knows better than to go snooping in there. If I happen to use a wrapping paper for Santa that D knows is mine I just say we must both have good taste in wrapping paper. I think it is great you want to keep the magic alive for them but you are way overthinking this and making it much more stressful than it has to be.
I keep all the gifts in my closet. They aren't allowed in there since I have a lot of boxes stacked high and don't want them knocking any over and getting hurt, so it's a "safe zone". I don't wrap them until Christmas Eve after they've gone to bed.
They believe in Santa and are 7 and 4.
ETA: I like the idea of leaving something out from Santa, unwrapped. Also, our Elf on the Shelf is on stocking duty.
My 6 y/o sometimes says she doesn't believe in Santa, but other times she does, so I don't know if I should give up and tell her now. One year, my husband and I "went to bed;" he snuk out of bathroom window, dressed up in a Santa costume, came in the house with presents, ate cookies from our children, and stuffed our stockings. Our children were asleep, but I took pictures of him waving at them from outside and eating cookies. My children say he looks like Daddt, but he just says, "Hey, I'm not that round!"
I like your mom's strategy too. It sounds beautiful. After I read all these posts, I'm torn. I know Christmas will be still enjoyable and maybe more truthful, but I cannot go back and make them believe in Santa again. I think it's cute and innocent when my children still believe in Santa Claus and tooth fairy.
Quoting Jinx-Troublex3:
I let it slip for DD (10yo) last year. She had heen hinting she knew and I thought she was asleep and was talkimg to DS1 about what people were getting.
I was like OP, my parents were so freaking sneaky, I dont think I figured it out till I was 12! We went to my Grandma's house each Christmas eve and I always helped them take all the family's wrapped presents from under the tree and there was nothimg under the tree when we left amd yet when I walked in after church the tree would be loaded, lights on, beautiful! It took years till I realized.Mom always had to run back on "for Aumts so-n-so's gift she didnt see in the car!" Or some other excuse...lol
I was never that creative! I did use different paper and would print To/From Santa tags on the computer. We never made a huge deal of it though.
I totally hear the credit part! I have told my mom that Santa got what I wanted, but she wouldn't. I feel really bad about that now, but what did I know? I really wish I could buy what they really want when they want it. I've even thought of buying them now and letting them play with them during all Christmas season. Do we really have to wait to open presents until Christmas? Christmas items are at CostCo from August; didn't our kids wait long enough? Let's get my materialism done and over with and focus on spiritual side of Christmas on Christmas...
Quoting paganbaby:
This is what we do too. The kids each get one santa gift, either wrapped in special paper or just unwrapped, along with their stocking. Hey, I want at least some of the credit for presents,lol.Quoting usmom3:
My children all know that Santa is not real now. But back when they still believed him to be real we would buy the Santa gift (there was always just one a piece) when we shopped for all the other things (the children are not with us when we Christmas shop, plus I shop online a lot). We never wrapped Santa gifts they where always under the tree unwrapped & ready to be played with along with their stockings filled by Santa.


text: A little background first. General Motors had 54% of all car sales in the 1950s. By the time of the bailout (TARP) - it was 15%. What is amazing is it took nearly 50 years for mismanagement to catchup with them. They had a string of lemons: Corvair Vega diesel Olds (many would assume all diesel cars would be like GM's for years) The front-wheel drive cars of the early 80's that fell apart The Caviler pretending to be a Cadillac Cimeron (sp) Not using the EV1 tech to either put out the Volt a decade earlier or pioneer hybrid/EV tech in fleet vehicles...Toyota fearfully rushed out the Prius in response Gave up on the sedan and compact market Relative to the Japanese automakers, GM had many more levels of managers....when it came to new ideas, it was much easier to "just say no." Like a local sports owner, GM could not see beyond a year in the future. When strikes threatened, they gave the UAW what they wanted until the only vehicles they could sell at a reliable profit was pickups and SUVs. They ceded the compact and sedan market to Asian automakers. How did GM cope with their shortcomings? Spin, spin, spin. Told everybody the Suburban was the new Impala - found ways to put whipped cream on cow chips. Times in the 90's were good enough they could ignore they bought Accords and Camrys instead. GM execs prayed $1.50 a gallon gas and cheap interest rates would go indefinitely - it came to a screeching halt in 2008. They did not even have a contingency plan and in a face-losing reversal begged for a bail out. The board and the CEO changed along with the culture. Most companies can't remotely coast for fifty years downhill and survive. GM had great customer loyalty, but eventually it ran out. Apple might be able to coast longer than most, but not nearly as long. If it's not already obvious, Jerry Jones is taking advantage of the Cowboys fan base. Fans live in the past of a storied history, but it's been 20 years since the last SB with a team that has been .500 since - a bigger fan base than the Yankees, Bulls, Manchester United, Packers, Steelers, Patriots. They have done nothing to earn it lately, but Jerry thinks spin, spin, spin, and soap opera will keep fans coming. Like GM, it may take a long time but people will tire of this. They younger generation will not remember the championship days, Staubach and Lilly may be dead - they will follow somebody else. They will conclude this team is just like the Browns or Jaguars, only in a larger market with a nice stadium. The hubis will eventually end.

The proprietors were the sweetest people. I felt safe and secure. N/a
The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed the little patio table and chairs in front of each room, and the patio area in the garden in the back. The inn keeper/inn owner is a very kind, charming, friendly man, and he made our stay feel very warm and pleasant. When we were exploring the town, I took note of the other Inns and hotels, and was very glad I chose the Alpine Inn. It was a very pleasant stay, and the other inns did not look as appealing. No complaints! It was all good.
It was my first experience in hot springs and I was blown away by the great service I received! The owner was very kind, and showed us around the very cozy Inn. The atmosphere was romantic and the room was very clean. The place was built long ago but has been refurbished, though it still holds a feeling like vacationing from the past. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a great Inn experience!
Everyone was super nice and the room was clean!
Our room was very cozy, perfect for us and our second visit there!
location.. no, it was enjoyable
It had a refrigerator and microwave. For $--- a night, for no service was way to much, $25 a night would of been more like it for no service. No staff to service the rooms, change linens, take out trash or give enough towels for two people. I was there 3 days total. Won't stay again.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Office has a bell that rings whenever someone opens the door. My room was across the parking lot from the office and every time someone walked in or out of the office I could hear it load and clear. The door to the shower was broken and off track.
Poor option to stay. Very bad and $--- per one night is not at all worth. This is not a good hotel to stay. Especially $--- is waste for this. It has only 1 room and room was not at all good and bathroom is not good. Maximum $--- per 1 night is enough for this hotel room.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The pillows were awesome and it was very quiet. Location was great for us. This hotel did not meet a 3 star criteria. The room lacked cleaning and the price was too high. Seriously needs some upgrading.
The breakfast was good and the staff was friendly
The employee's were very polite and helpful. Our room was clean as well as the towels being white and smelt clean. The bed was hard to me.
Clean and safe........... Beds were very uncomfortable.....staff were aloof, not solicitous with hospitality, and unavailable....

Elton John Hospitalized, Cancels Concerts
He's one of music's living legends, but even Elton John is susceptible to illness from time to time.
The "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" singer was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles yesterday (May 23) due to a serious respiratory infection.
As a result, John has cancelled his gigs at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace today, tomorrow, and Sunday.
Elton told press, "It feels strange not to be able to perform these 'Million Dollar Piano' concerts at The Colosseum. I love performing this show and I will be thrilled when we return to The Colosseum in October to complete the eleven concerts soon to be scheduled. All I can say to the fans is sorry I can't be with you."

CHELTENHAM midfielder Marlon Pack has insisted he is still interested in a move to Swindon Town, but is more confused than ever about where his future lies.
The playmaker saw a move to the County Ground fall through on transfer deadline day due to the Football League not being willing to ratify new signings at Town, but had been expected to finalise his move once the takeover by Jed McCrory's consortium was completed.
The Advertiser now understands Bournemouth, Derby and Charlton have all shown an interest in the 21-year-old, while current boss Mark Yates revealed after the Robins' game with Southend on Tuesday he wants to keep his star player until the end of the season.
Pack has heard nothing of any interest from clubs other than Swindon and still expected the move to go ahead before Yates' comments, and when asked by the Advertiser if he would still be open to a switch to Wiltshire he said: "Of course I am, I just don't really know what is going to happen.
"I never said I wanted to leave Cheltenham, but the deal that was in place was good for everyone really. I am still contracted to them and I just want to play football.
"I want to play higher, and I have always said that to Cheltenham, and I think there would be a problem if you are happy to play in League Two all my career.
"My agent hasn't really spoken to me about other clubs because it has been a tough two weeks, and maybe the first day or so my head was all over the place and I just had to get on with things.
"Until last night I think I was still expecting it to go ahead, but we will see now."
Pack admitted the day his move to Swindon fell through was one of the strangest of his career so far, but it hasn't tarnished his opinion of the club he could still join.
"I was at the County Ground at 12 and I think I was there for about eight hours doing things, and it wasn't simple," he said.
"Then I left and went home to try and get some sleep, and I got a phone call at 11.30pm saying it hadn't gone through, so it was a very hectic and weird day.
"Since then it's been a difficult situation to be in, not knowing what is happening. At the end of the day I just want to play football.
"I am good friends with Matt (Ritchie) and he has had nothing but positive things to say about Swindon, and as a team they are doing very well again this season and have a massive chance of being promoted to the Championship."
Meanwhile, Town manager Paolo Di Canio has been nominated for the League One Manager of the Month award for January.
The Italian has been shortlisted along with Walsall boss Dean Smith and Yeovil Town's Gary Johnson.
Keeper Wes Foderingham has been nominated for the Player of the Month award, having only conceded one goal during January and saved a penalty against Shrewsbury.
The winners will be announced tomorrow.

It is rather difficult for chastity slaves to have fun if they don't have someone to be their Master. That probably doesn't have to be said to most people, but there are some guys that will try it anyway to see if it will work for them. Other guys just don't understand the concept of being a sex slave for another person. These men will wear their chastity devices and try their best to be a slave to themselves. They might have fun with it, but they aren't going to learn anything about themselves in the process.
Most sex slaves choose this lifestyle for the most part, but there are some that are simply forced into it by their partner. Now this doesn't happen very often, but if you are in a relationship where you are submissive to your partner, then it could happen to you. But don't be upset if you wake up one day and find your cock locked inside one of these devices. You might actually find that being a slave to your partner is the best thing in the world for you and it will make your relationship a bit stronger for the two of you.
Amazing spandex fetish wear, male chastity cock cages, penis stretchers, cock crushers, anal plugs, anal stretchers, Oxballs and the famous Cock Ring Corner all at www.koalaswim.com
Some chastity slaves will tell you that this is the worst decision they have ever made. But what you don't know is that they are probably not being trained correctly. Either that or they simply aren't able to please their Master and never get the chance to remove their devices. The whole aspect of getting your device off is the reason to enjoy this lifestyle in the first place. So, if you have to wear it for months at a time without taking it off, it can end up giving you negative feelings about it. Just make sure you are capable of pleasing your partner and everything will be great.

DUE to their match at Seend United being postponed on Friday afternoon due the hosts' pitch at the Lye being deemed unplayable, Melksham Town Reserves slipped from the top of the Trowbridge Windows & Conservatories-sponsored Trowbridge League Division One table.
Victory for Boomsbury moved them top of the pile and things could have been worse had Westbury United Reserves game at North Bradley not been postponed.
Boomsbury bounced back from their shock Junior Cup exit at the hands of Castle Combe last weekend to record a 3-1 win at Bradford United which takes them to the top of the table.
Bradford may have been poor in the first half but Boomsbury played their best football for a long time as the opened up a 3-0 lead, their first goal coming on 15 minutes after a great finish from Dan Dominy.
Boomsbury had to wait until the 35th minute before adding their second but Booker Woodford's goal was worth the wait, Woodford headed home after an excellent team move.
Shortly after Oli Howe made it 3-0 with another well-taken header after a similar move that lead to Woodford's goal.
The second half saw Boomsbury take their foot of the gas and Bradford come more into the game, but when Richie Bliha curled home a 25-yard free kick against his former club in the last minute it was a case of too little to late as Boomsbury had already sewn the game up.
Castle Combe 3 Freshford United 5
A WEEK on from their unexpected Junior Cup success over Boomsbury, Castle Combe came tumbling back down to earth with a bang, suffering a 5-3 defeat at home to Freshford United.
Combe, who had suffered a 4-1 reverse to Freshford in October, looked to be on course for another famous win when goals from Matt White and Mark Bolton put them two up.
Freshford got themselves back in the game before half time through Mark Birleson and they drew level not long after the restart when Steve Roddy fired home to make it 2-2.
Combe reclaimed the lead thanks to Matt Hopper, but their joy was short lived as a second from Roddy squared things up for a second time.
Jamie Olding put Freshford ahead for the first time in the topsy turvy encounter and when Matt Attree knocked in number five for Hughie Fulton's side their comeback was complete and they held on to claim a 5-3 win and wrap up a league double over their opponents.

Grant Samuel, acting as an independent expert in relation to Pacific Equity Partners' bid for
According to a Spotless scheme booklet released late Friday, Grant Samuel valued Spotless in the range of $669 to $779 million, which corresponds to a value of $2.51 per share and $2.92 per share.
Grant Samuel said the offer was fair and reasonable and in the best interests of shareholders in the absence of a superior offer.
"In the absence of the proposal or a similar transaction and assuming the continuation of current market conditions, it is likely that Spotless shares would trade at prices well below $2.66 (at least in the short to medium term)," said the report.
After six months of negotiations between the Spotless board and PEP, the board eventually agreed to a $2.71 a share offer from PEP despite previously demanding a minimum $2.80, because the process risked damaging the business.
The deal means Spotless shareholder receive $2.62 per share in cash plus a 4¢ per share fully franked special dividend. If shareholders owned the stock on March 2, 2012, they would also receive a fully franked 2012 financial year interim dividend of 5¢ per share.
The bid price of $2.66 per share is 36 per cent higher than Spotless shares were trading prior to media speculation regarding a private equity approach on November 2, 2011.
Shareholders will vote on the scheme at a meeting held on 25 July 2012 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
