SANFORD, Fla. — The mother of Trayvon Martin has testified that screams for help captured on audio of a 911 call came from her 17-year-old son.
Sybrina Fulton took the witness stand Friday morning during the trial of George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murder in Martin's shooting death. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty and says he shot the teen in self-defense during a fight.
After the audio was played, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked Fulton, "Who do you recognize that to be?" She replied, "Trayvon Benjamin Martin."
Identifying the screams on the 911 call could be critical to the case because it may help determine who was the aggressor during the scuffle between Zimmerman and Martin.

Some things lie too deep for tears. The sadness they embody is beyond easy explanation and defies neat solutions. The media news love these things – tragedies like Newtown or 9-11 - as they are rare and have an unforgettable impact.
Seeing them on a screen however is never the same as being there in person. When you are in the physical presence of this kind of human sadness – which often seems to tremble paradoxically, shamelessly, on the brink of hope and renewal – you are not a watcher. You participate. It is not pity you feel – the luxury of the safe and well-fed – but compassion – the realization that you share in the experience of others simply because you too are human.
In a Buddhist monastery outside Bangkok many of the monks are graduates of the drug rehabilitation program that has operated there for forty years. It claims a success rate (non-relapse for twelve months) of sixty per cent in contrast to the four percent of most western attempts to lead people out of the ultimate sadness of a soul-destroying addiction. You can recognise these monks because they have plentiful tattoos, a certain jaunty walk, and don't seem to have kicked the smoking habit with the other drugs that were ruining them.
The monastery grounds are not the ordered and manicured spaces visitors expect to find in a Christian cloister. But a succession of gifted abbots, as in many western monasteries, left their mark through building sprees, although here there seems to have been a marked lack of town planning. The dense, elevated circle of Buddha statues has a palpable energy and is said to be on a lay line connecting directly to Stonehenge, though the monks give a Thai smile when they tell you this.
The monastic life here is less rigid than in the west and less self-consciously protective against the world's pollution. There are no signs saying "Cloister: Monks only". Perhaps it is more like the Celtic model of monasticism, or the original Benedictine model, which allowed for spheres of overlapping kinds of membership and age groupings. Here it is more like a village in which the monks follow their rules and routines alongside people who sincerely respect them but follow their own. You can't imagine their community meetings having arguments about 'are we monastic enough?' or 'we've got to be more monastic'. Each monk is as monastic as he wants or can be. The common life and authority, I sensed, both protects and challenges this.
Yet the westerners who occupy the Hay, the rehab centre in the middle of the complex feel the monastic influence and inspiration deeply. It was in meeting some of them that I felt this indefinable sadness. At a certain stage of theistic belief it would call your idea of God into question – how could a loving God allow such young people to be led into such dark despair and helplessness? Where was God when, unaware of the consequences, they said 'yes' to some substance that offered them the perfect escape. At a later stage of belief there might evolve a more subtle sense that the light of God stayed with them in their darkest hour, perhaps through a friend or a counselor who did not give up on them as they had given up on themselves.
In the eyes of one young red-headed Irishman one could see this strange combination of despair and the kind of raw hope that despair alone can give birth too. Wearing his red prison-like uniform, that makes it difficult for the patients to run away, he viewed the world with a look both of wonder and anxious appeal. He had been clean for a year and then while on holiday had relapsed. He checked in immediately to this place of extreme physical simplicity and discipline and of extreme humane realism and kindness. He asked the monks if they could help him and they replied no. He could only help himself, but they could help create the conditions where this might happen.
A rehab centre in the west would typically charge a thousand or more a week. Here it is free. The monks are not 'professional', but they are experienced and wise and detached. They live their own life around the rhythm of the rehab centre – detox, counseling, meditation, work, music, art. One monk paints, another rescues broken knife blades and mindfully makes them useful again but discards them when finished, another builds, another welcomes guests and for some, as in all monasteries, only God knows what they do. This calm and self-confident life weaves what one must call a spiritual dimension around their desperate transient guests. It opens them to this dimension in themselves and there they may find, rather than their awful sadness, a joy that lies too deep for tears.

Financial Author Is Living Proof That Our Redeemer Lives
- Jody Brown AgapePress
- 2004 9 Mar
Where does a mother with five children at home find the time and the energy to write a book, much less four of them within one year? Author Ellie Kay, who says she has always had a high energy level, attributes the other aspect to one source: God, she says, has redeemed the time.
Ellie Kay had never had anything published – not a column, not an article, not even a letter to the editor. Then came her first book, "Shop, Save, and Share," published by Bethany House in 1998.
"Most writers start writing articles or columns or they start getting into major periodicals and then eventually they have a speaking ministry or something, and then they branch out beyond that – and they get a book, eventually," she explains. "Whereas with me, I got a book first."
While "Shop, Save, and Share" – an updated version which hit the shelves in January 2004 – offers practical advice on family budgeting and "coupon clipping," it emphasizes the Christian's unique call to stewardship and sharing with others. The book went on to become a best-seller, surprising both the author and publisher.
"God had a plan for that," she says, explaining that her contacts at Bethany House sat down to evaluate why a book written by an unknown author with no huge national ministry sold so well, "and there was a 1 percent chance that I would even get published, much less have the book go on to become a best-seller," she adds.
The publisher's explanation? "The people at the publishing house were talking about it and they said, 'Wow, it must be God.' And I thought, 'Yes! That's the right answer – it is God.'"
And it's apparent that God has continued to bless Kay's energetic endeavors and to redeem her time. "Shop, Save, and Share" was followed by "How to Save Money Every Day" (2001), "Money Doesn't Grow on Trees: Teaching Kids the Value of a Buck" (2002), "Heroes at Home: Help at Home for America's Military Families" (2002), and "The New Bride Guide: Everything You Need to Know for the First Year of Marriage" (2003) – all published by Bethany House.
When Kay's first book was published, she had five children at home under the age of 10 and was home-schooling. She recalls telling God at that time she wasn't sure she was supposed to write books – and she wasn't sure she had heard Him correctly.
"I can't do this. Even being extremely efficient [which her husband attests to] and having a high energy level, I don't know how I'm going to do it," she remembers telling the Lord. "But if You want me to do this, I'll be faithful and obedient. So You're going to have to do this through me."
"And the Lord said, 'Good! That's right were I want you,'" she says, adding that she believes God wants her to depend completely and totally on Him to redeem her time and allow her to write.
But Kay, the wife of a recently retired Air Force fighter pilot, sees her calling to write as something she is just supposed to do. "I really spent a lot of time in prayer and before the Lord [while writing the books], and what He said to me in my heart and through my quiet time was, 'The days are evil and the time is short,'" she says.
That's why she believes God is calling out people from all walks of life who are obedient. "He is calling out home-schooling moms, He's calling out scientists, He's calling out plumbers ... to do a specific work that He has preordained for them for such a time as this," Kay says. "And He's got a plan and purpose for all of us."
She explains that as she wrote "four, 200-page, fully-researched, non-fiction" books in one year (2002), her prayer always was, "Lord, anoint my pen – and redeem the time." The Lord, she says, never failed her.
"Every time I've sat down to write – don't get me wrong, it's been plenty of hard work – the Lord has brought me exactly what I need," she testifies. "A bit of research there, a bit there, a phone call there,
statistics and true-life examples. He just brings me all these things that I need. And He truly does anoint my hands and my fingers – and He redeems the time, because the days are evil and time is short."
God's Timing
Kay says she has learned to trust God's timing. The military wife shares the story of her book, "Heroes at Home," which she describes as a "book of hope and help for military families."
"That was a book that had been on my heart for a long time, and I wanted it to be my second book," she explains. "But my publisher said there was no market for it and it wouldn't make any money. So we waited for God's timing."
Before continuing, Kay explains that a book typically takes at least six months to write – usually eight or nine – and anywhere from 18 to 24 months after a contract is signed for it to be on bookshelves. Such was not the case for "Heroes at Home," a best-seller that was a finalist for the 2003 Gold Medallion.
"Because God anointed the pen and redeemed the time, ['Heroes at Home'] was written in 30 days," she says. "It went from contract to shelf in six months – and it was where it needed to be when the war [in Iraq] broke out." The book that took 30 days to write, she says, "has been all over the place because God had a purpose and plan for it. It shows that the 'God factor' is really strong."
Family Finance Is 'Real-Life' Finance
Ellie Kay, who carries the trademark as "America's Family Financial Expert," earned that moniker through the success of her first book, which among other things showed readers how to reduce their expenses by saving 50 to 85 percent on grocery bills. The former broker says that the really amazing thing about developing a household budget is that most people think it will "just work out."
In her most recent book, "A Woman's Guide to Family Finance," Kay combines her professional experience with her real-world know-how as she talks to wives about how they can partner with their husbands in contributing significantly to their family's finances.
"I don't think women always understand that they can make the difference between sinking or floating in their [family] finances," she says. "And it's not just the stereotype of going to the mall and shopping till you drop and that's how a woman can contribute either positively or negatively – by no means is it that."
Instead, she says, "A Woman's Guide" empowers women to understand "what an incredible contribution they have."
"There are no easy answers [to building a secure financial future]," she says. "The only thing that really works is to spend less and save more." But she acknowledges that many people get burned out with traditional budgeting techniques and give up on being better stewards of God's blessings. "Life is too short for that," she says.
That's why Kay has taken a fresh approach in this latest book, with offerings such as her simple "$50,000 Money Pyramid" model that allows for fun, three kinds of savings (long-term, retirement, and short-term), and expenses. That approach, she explains, is modeled after the short-lived 1980s TV game show "The $50,000 Pyramid."
"[My model] has three general areas of budgeting rather than the eight to ten very specific categories that can become so restrictive that all you feel like you're doing is just watching every single penny – and you can get burned out because of that," she says. "So we've brought kind of a fresh approach to budgeting that's still a biblical model, but one that may be a little bit easier for families that have never budgeted before."
The book also helps individuals identify their "money personality" so they can guard against bad spending habits. "We talk about personality types so that you can understand if you are one of these 'born spender' personality types or one of the 'born savers' – and what if you marry someone who's different," the author says. "We talk about how all those dynamics fit in so you can understand why your family's finances are the way they are, and how you can take steps to make it a little bit more healthy if it's not healthy already."
Other chapters in the book include "The Debt Diet," a discussion on credit card usage called "Paper or Plastic?," "The Pink Slip Blues," ("What do you do if your family is suddenly out of work and you have to make some dramatic changes for nine or ten months to a year out of your life? How do you handle that?" Kay asks); and "The Seventh-Day Rest."
Kay explains that the chapter on "Seventh-Day Rest" emphasizes how it is important to build "wiggle room" into a budget – not just for entertainment, but for splurges as well. "If they're budgeted and they're part of your finances, it just gives you a tremendous amount of freedom," the financial expert says.
The broker-turned-coupon-clipper strongly believes she is filling a niche toward which God has directed her. "I don't do a lot of higher finance," she says. "I write about real-life financial issues, and I do real-world finance for real people - and that's family finance."
The average American family, she says, does not have an expansive investment portfolio – so that's the area where she tries to help. "In some ways, this book ["A Woman's Guide to Family Finance"] is kind of like a book for soccer moms to help them make ends meet and do it with style. I hope it helps them go above and beyond what they ever thought they could do to give their family a better quality of life," she says.
Soccer moms – and other women, no doubt – are grateful to get sound, godly advice from America's Family Financial Expert, whose family has reaped the benefits of her good stewardship and generous sharing of the bounty that follows.
Author and speaker Ellie Kay, "America's Family Financial Expert," is the mother of seven children - five still at home – and is married to a corporate test pilot who recently retired as a Lt. Colonel from theU.S. Air Force.

Saturday Court Appearance Set For Benghazi Suspect
The Libyan militant accused of masterminding the deadly Benghazi attacks that have become a flashpoint in U.S. politics awaited his first court appearance Saturday amid heightened security at the federal courthouse.
Ahmed Abu Khattala was scheduled to appear before a magistrate judge, according to the U.S. attorney's office. He is charged in connection with the assaults on the U.S. diplomatic compound in the eastern Libyan city on Sept. 11, 2012, that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
U.S. special forces captured Abu Khattala in Libya two weeks ago, marking the first breakthrough in the investigation. Officials had been questioning Abu Khattala aboard a Navy ship that transported him to the United States.
Abu Khattala was flown early Saturday by military helicopter from the ship to a National Park Service landing pad in the city's Anacostia neighborhood, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to discuss the transfer publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The prosecution reflects the Obama administration's stated position of trying suspected terrorists in the American criminal justice system even as Republicans call for Abu Khattala and others to be held at the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Critics say suspected terrorists don't deserve the legal protections afforded by the American court. The administration considers the civilian justice system fairer and more efficient.
A criminal complaint filed last year and unsealed after Abu Khattala's capture charges him with terror-related crimes. They include killing a person during an attack on a federal facility; that crime can be punishable by death.
At the initial hearing, the government was expected to outline the charges against him. He almost certainly will remain in detention while the Justice Department seeks a federal grand jury indictment against him.
The violence in Libya on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon quickly became a political controversy at home.
Republicans accused the White House, as the 2012 presidential election neared, of intentionally misleading the public about what prompted the attacks. The White House said Republicans were politicizing a national tragedy.
Abu Khattala was a prominent figure in Benghazi's circles of extremists. He was popular among young radicals and lived openly in the eastern Libyan city, spotted at cafes and other public places, even after the Obama administration publicly named him as a suspect.
He is accused of being a member of the Ansar al-Shariah group, the powerful Islamic militia that the U.S. believes was behind the attack.
He acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press in January that he was present during the storming of the U.S. mission in Benghazi. But he denied involvement in the attack, saying he was trying to organize a rescue of trapped people.
In the attack, gunmen fired rocket-propelled grenades and stormed the mission, with many waving the black banners of Ansar al-Shariah.
The compound's main building was set ablaze. Ambassador Chris Stevens suffocated to death inside and another American was shot dead.
At the time, several witnesses said they saw Abu Khattala directing fighters at the site.
Later in the evening, gunmen attacked and shelled a safe house, killing two more Americans. No evidence has emerged that Abu Khattala was involved in the later attack.
Abu Khattala is one of just a few cases in which the administration has captured a suspected terrorist overseas and interrogated him for intelligence purposes before bringing him to federal court to face charges.
Those cases include Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who was arrested in Jordan in March 2013 and turned over to U.S. agents. A jury in New York City convicted him in March of conspiring to kill Americans.

His writing has been featured in Curbed, Apartment Therapy, URBAN-X, and more. our editorial process Matt Hickman Updated July 30, 2019 Stanley Tucci is an accomplished actor and chef who has written a number of cookbooks. magicinfoto/Shutterstock Share Twitter Pinterest Email Culture History Travel Sustainable Fashion Art & Media Holidays Community Anyone who has seen "Big Night" — considered in some circles to be the ultimate foodie film — probably would have guessed that co-director/co-writer/co-star Stanley Tucci is a bit of a bon vivant. And the proof in the Yorkshire pudding is the actor's recently released, critically lauded book of Italian cookery, "The Tucci Cookbook." Described by the New York Times as a "proud and avid cook," Tucci, who co-starred opposite Meryl Streep in "Julie & Julia" as Julia Child's husband, Paul, isn't the first and certainly won't be the last famous non-chef to publish a collection of recipes. Like the explosion of celebrity exercise videos in the 1980s (see Angela Lansbury, Dixie Carter, Sandy Duncan, et al), there have been dozens of cookbooks helmed by spatula-wielding actors, musicians and non-food-centric writers over the years, particularly as of late. Some have been met with acclaim and are well-thumbed staples in the kitchens of homes across the country while others are decidedly more curious, falling into the "what the hell?" category. "Cookin' with Coolio," anyone? With "The Tucci Cookbook" in mind, we've rounded up a handful of cookbooks penned by authors, some dearly departed, who feel just as comfortable behind the kitchen counter as they do in front of a camera or on stage. Do you have a favorite celebrity cookbook that you frequently turn to when in need of gastronomic inspiration? (And remember, we're not talking about celebrities of the Rick, Padma, Rachael, Mario and Jamie variety. We're also not counting Theresa Giudice as a celebrity). Tell us about it in the comments section below. What's your favorite recipe? Vincent Price Selected works: "A Treasury of Great Recipes" (1965) Cuisine: Continental Just a taste: Poularde Pavillon, Boccone Dolcci, stuffed frankfurters, Scandinavian fruit soup Non-culinary credits: "House of Wax," "The Abominable Dr. Phibes," "House on Haunted Hill," "Pit and Pendulum" Before we dig in, yes ... we do mean that Vincent Price. The creaky-voiced, pencil-mustached "Thriller" narrator was also behind a truly classique cookbook published in 1965. Written with his second wife, Mary, a "Treasury of Great Recipes," like most of Price's schlocky horror films from the 1950s onward, has developed a somewhat rabid cult following. Although the book does contain a fair amount of original recipes, it's mainly composed of recipes culled from an array of upscale dining establishments from across the world. A true gourmet, the Merchant of Menace loved to travel and he loved to eat (and he most definitely loved to have a cigarette after each meal). In 2008, Paul Collins penned an amusing tribute to — and kitchen test run of — "A Treasury of Great Recipes" for Slate. It's worth checking out. Banana Pancake Flambé Stonehenge, anyone? Dom DeLuise Selected works: "Eat This ... It'll Make You Feel Better!" (1988) Cuisine: Brooklyn-style Italian-American Just a taste: Mama's Spinach rolls, Grandma's Sunday Sauce, stuffed calamari, meatballs Non-culinary credits: "Blazing Saddles," "Cannonball Run," "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," "Fatso" Best known for voicing Pizza the Hut in "Spaceballs" and his role as schizophrenic racecar mechanic Victor "Captain Chaos" Prinzi in the first two "Cannonball Run" films, hefty humorist Dom DeLuise liked to eat. And thank goodness, he also wasn't shy about sharing his recipes. The late actor/director's compendium of Italian family cookery, "Eat This ... It'll Make You Feel Better," was a hit when released in 1988 and its popularity, like DeLuise's ample frame, never really waned. In addition to DeLuise's simple, red sauced-drenched family recipes, the book also includes childhood anecdotes straight outta Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, along with non-Eyetalian contributions from a few famous friends like Mel Brooks (red clam chowder), Burt Reynolds (beef stew), and doppelganger chef Paul Prudhomme (blackened redfish). Vincent Schiavelli Selected works: "Bruculinu, America: Remembrances of Sicilian-American Brooklyn, Told in Stories and Recipes" (1998) Cuisine: Sicilian-American Just a taste: Baked mashed potatoes with peas, spaghetti and meatballs, orange biscotti, Cuccidati Non-culinary credits: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," "Amadeus," "Ghost," "Batman Returns" While Dom DeLuise may have had the Brooklyn-born actor-penned Italian-American-cookbook market covered in the late '80s, the late Vincent Schiavelli reigned supreme in the late '90s and early 2000s with several understated, highly regarded tomes that married memoir and family history with mouthwatering recipe-sharing of the Sicilian variety. And although you may not recognize Schiavelli's name, you'd definitely recognize the prolific character actor's droopy-eyed visage, especially if you watched network television in the 1980s ("Matlock," MacGyver," "Moonlighting," and the list goes on and on). The guy literally stood out in a crowd — he had Marfan syndrome and was 6 foot 5 — and so did his food writing. In addition to his books, Schiavelli also published numerous articles on Sicilian cookery and, in 2001, received the James Beard Foundation Journalism Award for an article published in the Los Angeles Times. Patti LaBelle Patti LaBelle's recipes are becoming slightly more health-conscious. Kyle Besler/Shutterstock Selected works: "LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About" (1999) Cuisine: Southern soul food Just a taste: Macaroni and cheese, peach cobbler, liver and onions, smothered chicken Non-culinary credits: A whole lot of Grammy Awards and a place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Showboating R&B; diva and shortly lived sitcom star Patti LaBelle has hawked just about everything that there is for a showboating R&B; diva and short-lived sitcom star to hawk: sauces, seasonings, perfume, bedding, wigs, lipstick and her heart (to the junkman, of course). However, it's cookbooks that Lady Marmalade herself is best known for selling, and she's sold a lot. The legendary, food-loving performer's cookbook authoring career started off on a gleefully grease-drenched note, but with her latest release, "Recipes for the Good Life," LaBelle's recipes have become just a touch more health-conscious. (LaBelle went public with her Type 2 diabetes diagnosis several years ago and, in the process, transformed from a diva into a "divabetic.") Still, it's fabulous, finger-lickin' soul food that the High Priestess of Good Vibrations — and recent "Top Chef" guest judge — is most famous for. Dolly Parton Dolly Parton's cookbooks contain recipes passed down through the family over many years. DFree/Shutterstock Selected works: "Dolly's Dixie Fixin's: Love, Laughter, and Lots of Good Food from my Tennessee Mountain Kitchen" (2006) Cuisine: Southern comfort food Just a taste: Banana pudding, pan-fried catfish, garlic-cheese biscuits, green tomato cake Non-culinary credits: "9 to 5," "Rhinestone," "Steel Magnolias," a theme park in Tennessee But of course Dolly Parton has her own cookbook. Filled with over 125 recipes passed down from her late mama as well as friends and other family members, Parton's foray into cookbookery is as exuberant and unpretentious as you'd expect from the bosomy songbird who grew up in a one-room cabin with 12 siblings in the Great Smoky Mountains. Explains Parton: "I still like to try new foods as often as I can. But when it comes to cooking for myself and my husband Carl and my great big extended family, which numbers into the multiple hundreds these days, what we really want to eat is what comforts us most: good, hearty food rooted in Mama's cooking and those country gatherings of my childhood." And Parton isn't the first celebrated country songstress to release a cookbook: Loretta Lynn (hominy grits), Tammy Wynette (chicken and dumplings), Naomi Judd (deviled eggs) and, most recently, Trisha Yearwood (jalapeno hush puppies), have all dabbled in a bit of food-related brand extending. Tony Danza Selected works: "Don't fill up on the Antipasto: Tony Danza's Father-Son Cookbook" (2008) Cuisine: Italian-American Just a taste: Ricotta cheesecake, escarole and bean soup, baked clams, lasagna Non-culinary credits: "Taxi," "Who's the Boss," "The Hollywood Knights," "She's Out of Control" Ever want to meet Tony Danza's extended family outside of Angela, Mona and Samantha? Well, here you go. Co-written with Danza's son Marc, a chef, this 2008 cookbook from everyone's favorite Brooklyn-born boxer-turned-sitcom star-turned-talk show host-turned-reality show English teacher is one part compendium of simple, "like my mamma used to make" recipes and one part story of an "an Italian immigrant family that grew strong in America and really lived the American dream." And in addition to standard Italian-American fare like calamari, baked clams and eggplant parm, Danza-loving foodies will find a handful of recipes for party-friendly comestibles like "Super Bowl Guacamole" and ribs included in the tome. Also, weirdly, Jackie Collins wrote the forward. Alicia Silverstone Alicia Silverstone's green eating cookbook is generally accessible to a wide audience. Joe Seer/Shutterstock Selected works: "The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet" (2009) Cuisine: Vegan Just a taste: Radicchio pizza with truffle oil, cauliflower steaks, barley casserole, crispy tofu slices with orange dipping sauce Non-culinary credits: "Clueless," "The Crush," "The Babysitter," Aerosmith videos Has the Ted Nugent cookbook been collecting dust on your shelf for a few years now? When not pre-masticating mochi for her toddler, 1990s teen ingénue-turned-animal rights activist Alicia Silverstone is reigning supreme as Hollywood's vegan queen and her book of veggies-only cookery, "The Kind Diet," has proved to be somewhat of a phenomenon. Gentle yet honest, nonjudgmental and decidedly less sanctimonious than fellow healthy living proponent Gwyneth Paltrow's lushly produced and apparently not ghost-written cookbook (which, to be clear, isn't vegetarian/vegan), Silverstone's tome, however, may be hard to follow if you don't live in close proximity to an Asian supermarket or tend to incorporate spices into your meals. Or meat. Maya Angelou Selected works: "Great Food, All Day Long: Cook Splendidly, All Day Long" (2010) Cuisine: Southern/comfort food Just a taste: Oxtail stew, creamy pork hash, braised lamb with white beans, cornbread Non-culinary credits: "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," "On the Pulse of the Morning," "Letter to My Daughter," Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient A cookbook by Maya Angelou may at first seem like a bit of a novelty (although certainly not of the same curious caliber as cookbooks by, umm, Miss Piggy and Coolio). But think about it ... it does make perfect sense that an octogenarian storyteller — a true national treasure if there ever was one — whose written work has been devoured by millions is also capable of crafting completely devourable recipes. Arkansas-born Angelou has penned two cookbooks: 2004's "Hallelujah! The Welcome Table" and 2010's "Great Food, All Day Long" which offered much of the same — delectable, divine Southern fare — but with a more portion control-centric twist. She tells The Guardian in 2010: "Writing and cookery are just two different means of communication. Indeed, I feel cooking is a natural extension to my autobiography. In fiction, the story can be molded to the author's needs but in autobiography you have to tell the truth. The reader has to believe what the writer is saying or else the book has failed. The same applies to cooking; if there is no integrity to the recipes, no one will trust them." Sheryl Crow Sheryl Crow puts an emphasis on healthy and delicious eating in her cookbook. s_bukley/Shutterstock Selected works: "If It Makes You Healthy: More Than 100 Delicious Recipes Inspired by the Seasons" (2011) Cuisine: Healthy/seasonal Just a taste: Barley and vegetable Risotto, pecan-crusted trout, shiitake sesame grit cakes, vegan reuben sandwich Non-culinary credits: Nine Grammy Awards, millions of records sold, a failed relationship with Lance Armstrong While we totally applaud singer/songwriter/environmental activist extraordinaire Sheryl Crow's commitment to eating seasonal, organic and locally grown edibles, we're still having trouble getting over the title of her debut cookbook, co-authored with longtime personal chef Chuck White. We guess it has a better ring to it than "All I Wanna Do is Eat Some Tums." A survivor of breast cancer, the genre-hopping songstress and toilet paper conservationist looks remarkably well-preserved for her age (50) and for that she largely credits the healthy — and not strictly vegetarian — cuisine introduced to her beloved "Chef Chuck." (We have a hard time believing that the sometimes gratingly preachy Crow was scarfing Big Macs in the back of her tour bus before teaming up with White). MNN food blogger Robin Shreeves shares her favorite recipes from the kitchen of Crow. Frank DeCaro Selected works: "The Dead Celebrity Cookbook" (2011) Cuisine: Various Just a taste: Katherine Hepburn's brownies, Elizabeth Taylor's chicken with avocado and mushrooms, Patrick Swayze's chicken pot pie, Bea Arthur's vegetarian breakfast Non-culinary credits: "The Daily Show" (former movie critic), "The Frank DeCaro Show" (Sirius XM Satellite Radio) While radio host and performer Frank DeCaro isn't exactly in the same league as the others on this list (sorry, Frank), we just couldn't not include "The Dead Celebrity Cookbook," a collection of recipes culled from the kitchens of over 145 dearly departed famous folk. Although DeCaro is clearly more obsessed with the deceased than their culinary creations, celeb-obsessed gourmands will still probably have a blast attempting to recreate Michael Jackson's sweet potato pie, Mae West's fruit compote, Joan Crawford's poached salmon and Liberace's sticky buns. Or they'll just have a good giggle reading the text, because honestly, some of these recipes sound absolutely foul. And just in time for the holidays, DeCaro has released a follow-up book, "Christmas in Tinseltown," which includes seasonal delights such as Nat King Cole's ham loaf and Dinah Shore's fruitcake.

The Senate Thursday voted in favor of ending debate on a sweeping packaging of financial reforms, clearing the way for a final vote on whether to approve the legislation as early as Friday.
The Democrats mustered the 60-vote minimum needed to avoid a possible Republican filibuster, after falling three votes short Wednesday.
The vote was 60-40.
Democrats control 58 seats and can usually count on the support of independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont. They typically need only one Republican to vote with them. In this case, three GOP senators voted with them, approving cloture.
The Senate will now consider a few remaining amendments, which based on Senate rules must be considered germane to the overall bill.
After that, and regardless of the outcome of any amendment votes, a final vote will be held. Approval is widely expected.
How The Vote Changed
The GOP members voting for cloture were: Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, who voted in favor of cloture Wednesday; and the newly-elected Scott Brown of Massachusetts.
Brown was expected to vote with the Democrats yesterday but changed his mind over lingering concerns about how some of the too-big-to-fail provisions might affect big mutual fund firms in his state, such as Fidelity.
Since then, Brown was given "some assurances .... to get him back on board," said one senior Congressional staffer familiar with the conversations, adding that lawmakers did not see the fund firms as presenting a risk to the financial system.
Another difference in the outcome was that Democrat Arlen Specter, who was absent for Wednesday's vote having remained in Pennsylvania following his primary defeat in Tuesday; voted yes along party lines.
Democrats Maria Cantwell of Washington and Russell Feingold of Wisconsin, who broke with their party and voted no Wednesday, once again voted against cloture.
Cantwell is said to be among the many members frustrated by the fact that only a small percentage of the 300 amendments filed have been debated and voted on. She has offered two amendments, but neither of which had been taken up.
Issues Remain
Once the Senate approves the legislation, the two chambers of Congress will have to agree on a compromise version. In some cases, that involves a so-called conference, where representatives of the two chamber hash out differences.
One contentious issues will be derivatives regulation. The Senate version is generally tougher.
One key, and fairly unpopular measure, crafted by Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), chair of the Agriculture Committee—would force banks to create special subsidiaries for their swaps operations.
There's been some effort to revise and water that down. A new compromise proposal spearheaded by Dodd would call for a two-year study to see if the restriction—which is not in the House version of the bill—is merited.
But sources say even that is unlikely to make it into any compromise bill.
House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank told CNBC that he suspects"banks should be allowed to hedge their own financial risk," said Frank, who added his own efforts to write tough derivatives legislation were defeated in the House.
Another key component—creating an over-the-counter trading and settlement system—has fairly wide support, but some would like a strong end-user exemption for companies that use derivatives as an operational hedge.
Consuming Subject
The other big battleground is the creation of a powerful regulator to protect consumers from potential abuse by financial services companies, especially in the area of mortgages.
As proposed by Dodd, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would be an independent agency housed at the Federal Reserve with a presidentially appointed director, rule-making, examination and enforcement powers.
One amendment, sponsored by Sam Brownback (R-Kansas), would exempt auto companies, an idea Dodd himself fiercely opposes.
Senate Democrats have been trying to push through The Wall Street Reform Act for almost a month, despite a number of procedural obstacles possible only in the Senate, and thus catch up to the efforts of the House, which approved its version of financial reform late last year.
Many of the provisions, from too-big-to-fail authority to new capital requirements, are meant to avoid the possible collapse and government bailout of big firms, as was the case with AIG , Citigroup and Bank of America in 2008.
Some restrictions would also affect the two big remaining Wall Street firms, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley .
The president has made financial reform his top priority and said he wants to sign a bill into law by Memorial Day weekend. That is now very unlikely because once the Senate passes its version, a compromise version will have to be cobbled together with the House and then approved by both chambers.
Rep. Frank told CNBC that a bill would be ready for the President to sign "well before the Fourth of July."

Prairie companions: New Beach Museum exhibition shows what its like to be home on the range from an animal's view
MANHATTAN -- Animals large and small and critters that fly, slither and crawl call Kansas State University's Konza Prairie home. An upcoming exhibition at the university's Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art will show what it's like to live on the prairie from the vantage point of these mammals, reptiles, birds and more.
"Tallgrass TV: Sam Easterson's Tribute to the Konza Prairie" features video footage of animals native to Konza and other similar prairie environments. It runs Jan. 17-June 10 in the Beach Museum of Art's Vanier Gallery.
Created by noted video naturalist Easterson, the exhibition includes a variety of animal-borne imaging videos, from a gray wolf to bison, to show their perspective on the world. Six monitors will have videos running on a continuous loop, with each monitor featuring a different video. Along with still photos, the exhibition will feature three taxidermy displays of a quail, fungi and Luna moth.
"I came up with the concept of using cameras to give an animal's perspective when I was in graduate school at the University of Minnesota. In my landscape architecture studies, I learned how sheep were sometimes used to mow Central Park and wondered what it would be like to see from their pastoral perspective," Easterson said.
As part of the exhibition, Easterson will give a gallery talk, "Tallgrass TV: Tuning into Nature," at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 29, at the Beach Museum. He will discuss his new museum, which uses still photos and video footage from camera trap surveys, animal borne imaging studies, and other wildlife surveillance projects to present ingenious new ways to view the natural world.
Beach Museum of Art director Linda Duke first encountered Easterson's work while visiting family in Fort Collins, Colo. She couldn't figure out what she was seeing when she walked into the darkened gallery area with a TV screen and strange footage. Then she noticed the snout and ears of an armadillo.
"I was riveted by the way an animal moves through the world -- the sounds, the determined blundering of the animal through the bush -- fascinating," Duke said.
Duke invited Easterson to come to the Beach Museum and share his work.
"Sam's work really connects with natural sciences and environmental studies. When I found out that Konza Prairie is celebrating its 40th anniversary and all the local schools are doing prairie-related studies, I called him up and asked him if he would be interested in doing something focused on animals native to Konza Prairie," she said. "Beach Museum senior educator Kathrine Schlageck was already laying plans with local schools to connect art and science as part of the celebration. This fit perfectly."
The exhibition has been designed by Easterson with assistance from the Beach Museum of Art exhibitions designer Lindsay Smith.
For more information, contact Martha Scott at the Beach Museum of Art, 785-532-7718, or drop by the museum on the southeast corner of the K-State campus at 14th Street and Anderson Avenue. Free visitor parking is available next to the building. Museum admission is free; hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday; and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. The museum is closed on Mondays.

Worshipped for their rarity and their exceptional beauty, emeralds take their name from the Latin "smaragdus", the heart of stone. Natural wonders mainly of Colombia, Brazil, or Zambia, top quality emeralds are even more valuable than diamonds. A type of beryl mineral, they are colored green by trace amounts of chromium. Most emeralds are highly included, which makes them sensitive to pressure.
Van Cleef & Arpels obtains most of its emeralds from Colombia, the mines of which produce some of the best stones available in the world today. The gems are treated with nothing but natural, colorless oil, preserving the true and unique hue of the stone.
One of the most remarkable emeralds is certainly the 150-carat engraved emerald from the Empress Farah Pahlavi crown created by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1967.
Believed by the ancients to confer the ability to see into the future, emeralds have long been thought to bring good fortune. They are the gemstones for the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries.
Maintaining your emerald:
To preserve the unique brilliance and color of the stones, Van Cleef & Arpels recommends cleaning emeralds with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding sudden temperature changes and keeping them away from excessive heat.

Medical examiner: Yale professor died of overdose
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- A Yale University professor who died in police detention had overdosed on drugs, a Connecticut medical examiner's office said Monday.
Samuel See died of acute methamphetamine and amphetamine intoxication with a recent heart attack, the office said. His death was ruled an accident.
See, 34, was an assistant professor of English and American studies who was on leave from the Ivy League university in New Haven.
He was detained by police responding to a report of domestic dispute. He was charged with violating a protective order, threatening and interfering with police. Police said that during his arrest, See and officers fell and See was cut above his left eye.
See was found unresponsive the next day, Nov. 24, in his cell at the Union Avenue detention facility in New Haven, city police said.
See was alert and communicating with marshals throughout his detainment until marshals found him in his cell, officials said. Marshals immediately provided CPR and other lifesaving efforts but he was later pronounced dead. Connecticut's Judicial Branch said it was conducting a review to make sure policies and procedures were followed.
Police Chief Dean Esserman has apologized for a three-day delay in releasing information about See's death.

The grieving family of an NHS worker stabbed to death at a psychiatric hospital has paid tribute to the victim as "nothing less than one in a million" as a man was charged with her murder.
Health care assistant Sharon Wall, 53, died after being attacked during an incident at Wotton Lawn Hospital in Gloucester on July 9.
Gloucestershire Police said Ryan Matthews, 61, of Horton Road, Gloucester, has been charged with her murder and will appear before magistrates in Cheltenham tomorrow.
Matthews was arrested shortly after the incident at an inpatient unit at the hospital.
Ms Wall, from the Tuffley area of the city, was attended to by fellow clinicians before being taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
She died from her injuries an hour after being stabbed.
In a statement, her family said: "We would like to thank everyone for their support and such kind words that have been said about Sharon.
"She was nothing less than one in a million and to say that she will be missed is an understatement.
"We would ask for people to respect our privacy and allow us to grieve for her at this difficult time."
Police were continuing to investigate the incident and appealed for anyone with information to contact detectives.
Shaun Clee, chief executive of 2gether NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We are all deeply shocked by the tragic incident that occurred on one of our inpatient wards.
"The extremely sad event, which resulted in the death of a highly compassionate and dedicated colleague, has had a profound impact on everyone working in our trust.
"Sharon Wall was a well-respected healthcare assistant and everyone who knew her speaks about her warmth, caring nature and good sense of humour.
"She will be deeply missed by colleagues and the service users she supported.
"We are still in the early stages of the investigation and continue to assist Gloucestershire Police in their work.
"Above all, our thoughts remain with Sharon's friends and family. On behalf of colleagues across our trust, I extend our most sincere and deepest sympathies."
Workers at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, on the same site as Wotton Lawn, have spoken of their "shock" at the incident.
Denise Luckman, 44, an admin assistant at the endoscopy unit, said: "I've worked here for 10 years and nothing like this has ever happened.
"It has been a huge shock to everybody. You don't expect to go to work, to care for patients, and to have that happen.
"It has affected the hospital all the way through. It is on our own doorstep, it has come as a complete shock."
Mrs Luckman said staff across the hospital often worked in different units to help short-staffed wards, including Wotton Lawn.
"All the staff are very subdued," she added. "It just shows that these things can happen."
People have paid tribute to Ms Wall on social media.
Tania Daniels wrote on Facebook: "I'm in shock. My thoughts are with your family. RIP lovely lady. I'll remember the times you came to my house years ago we had some good laughs and chinwags."
Anastasia Stacie Shields wrote: "She was an amazing lady. It's a real tragedy."
The 2gether website said Wotton Lawn Hospital was an 88 bed acute mental health hospital near the centre of Gloucester which provided inpatient services for the county of Gloucestershire.
The hospital has four admission wards, a nurse led psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) and a low secure unit (LSU).
It said service users were supported by a variety of healthcare workers including nurses, doctors, psychologists, art therapists, physiotherapists, occupational and sports exercise therapists.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "The events in Gloucestershire are devastating and our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the staff member involved."

OTs & Romsey have been dealt a blow ahead of the first round of Southern Electric Premier League Division 2 fixtures with the news that the club's leading Southern League run scorer Max Smith has picked up a back injury.
Smith, pictured below, is certain to miss tomorrow's Division 3 opener against St Cross Symondians at the Sport Centre, and is a doubt for the following week's clash at home to Tichbourne Park.
The club's second XI completed their preparations for the coming league season with a successful run out against Fareham and Crofton last Saturday, winning by four wickets with 13 overs to spare.
Phil Wyatt took six wickets for 25 runs as the visitors collapsed after a good start, losing their last eight wickets for just 32 runs.
Sam Draycott, Mark Whytehead and Mike Trodd each took a wicket.
Romsey lost early wickets when they started their chase as four wickets fell for 51 runs. However, Ian Tulk and Pete Biddlecombe rallied with a 60-run partnership to secure the win.
The seconds travel to Hartley Wintney II on Saturday for their opening Hampshire League County Division II clash.
The third and fourth team met at Hunts Farm with the thirds running out seven-wicket victors.
Ian Jerram (5-30) was the pick of the bowlers, with Andy Moger chipping in with 3-9.
Ollie Jordan, Jack Salter and Stuart Wood were the main run scorers in their total of 139 all out. In reply, skipper Jim Stewart and Dave Service shared an 84-run second wicket partnership. Service, with 67 not out, including ten fours and a six, led them to victory.
Longparish made the journey to Romsey for a Sunday friendly and found the club's young batsmen in belligerent form.
Having restricted the visitors to 212-8 in their 40 overs, with some tidy bowling by Gus Flack (2-22), Cameron Melling (2-21) and Danny Mills (2-30), Romsey made short work of the reply.
Fifteen-year-old colts player Alex Bampton stroked a cultured 40 runs with some good hits all round the wicket.
His dismissal brought Rob Newman and Danny Mills together and the pair splayed the Longparish bowlers to the tune of 79 runs.
Both finished 64 not out, with Newman hitting seven fours and a six in 53 balls, and Mills a swashbuckling 10 fours and two sixes in just 29 balls.

The League Cup will be known as the Capital One Cup from the start of the new season under a four-year sponsorship agreement with the credit card company, the Football League has announced.
Liverpool won the competition – then called the Carling Cup – in the season just concluded, beating Cardiff 3-2 on penalties at Wembley in February.
The value of the new sponsorship deal was not disclosed. The Football League's chief commercial officer, Richard Heaselgrave, said: "This is terrific news for clubs and a great way to conclude what has been a memorable domestic football season.
"The Capital One Cup is in great shape having been re-invigorated in recent seasons by a number of memorable finals, some thrilling midweek cup football and a first glimpse of the stars of the future."
The draw for the first round of the rebranded competition will be made on 14 June, with the final scheduled to take place at Wembley on 24 February.

NOTE from DearMYRTLE: I first heard about this through my membership in the Federation of Family History Societies mailing list.
Closure of The National Archives´ services at the Family Records Centre
14 March 2008
The staff and services provided by The National Archives at the Family Records Centre (FRC) move to Kew when the doors close on 15 March 2008. The transfer of these services and expertise into one building will make research easier.
The National Archives in Kew is being extensively refurbished and improved. This is part of an ongoing improvement programme and allows us to incorporate the services provided by The National Archives at the FRC. When complete, additional seating, microfiche readers and computer terminals will be available to visitors, improving access to original records, research resources and the ever-growing range of online material.
Following consultations with visitors to The National Archives and FRC the talks programme has been extended. There will be two new talks rooms providing an educational programme of talks on a variety of topics from family history to military history. In addition, three smaller surgery rooms will be available for more in-depth consultations.
Commenting on the new services Jeff James, Head of Advice and Records Knowledge at The National Archives said: "The exciting developments underway at Kew will genuinely improve our visitors´ experience, from the improved restaurant and new museum, to the redeveloped reading rooms.

Shoes.com Insider on Franco Sarto Shoes
There's a certain connotation associated with the word "Italian". It gives off a sense of mystery. A sense of effortless, timeless beauty, like that of an old stained-glass-window church. Italian means exotic. Passionate. It means suave, like a tall, dark, handsome man who smiles at you and says hello, revealing his Italian accent (jackpot). Franco Sarto shoes stem from this Italian culture and carry all of the implications of the word.
Designer Franco Sarto grew up around shoes, quickly developing a passion for the craft. He began his career working on shoes at age 14 with a hammer and nails, and progressed to start his own shoe brand as a young designer. His passion for beautiful and comfortable shoes has resulted in a full line of boots, heels, slip-ons, and sandals. Drawing from his experience as a cobbler, he strives to create comfortable and superior women's footwear, while staying true to his passion for making beautiful and stylish shoes.
Embody Italian sophistication in your Franco Sarto peep toe shoes. Emulate foreign mystique in t strap sandals. Practice your Italian accent in knee high boots. With Franco Sarto, you don't have to search abroad to find shoes that have the style and quality that Italian shoes are known for.

Ben Parker's wise words, "With great power comes great responsibility," apparently don't have much resonance in Hollywood.
As fans know by now, the planned fourth movie in the Spider-man series will be made without stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and director Sam Raimi.
If that weren't bad enough, The Los Angeles Times reports the re-envisioned flick will concentrate on Peter Parker as a "teenager grappling with contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises."
Um, wasn't that the focus of the first movie, which deftly established the Spider-man origin story and the characters, before quickly getting to a whole lot of action?
Sony's puzzling move appears driven by disputes with Raimi over script and budget. The new movie, originally scheduled for next year, reportedly won't hit theaters until 2012.
These kinds of noxious battles are as common as smog in Hollywood. But Sony, by parting with the creative team that helped bring in $2.5 billion in ticket sales, risks alienating fans.
In two great movies and one pretty good one, Raimi successfully transported Stan Lee's sticky-feet-of-clay creation to the big screen, complete with the humor and humanity of the comic, maintaining the Marvel spirit while tweaking the legend in spots.
Maguire embodied both nebbishy Peter Parker and his wise-cracking, web-slinging alter ego. Dunst imbued Mary Jane with the right combination of sweet and sexy, while projecting a winning vulnerability too subtle for the comics.
Let's be realistic: actors and directors come and go. Fanboys and fangirls like to argue over who's the best Batman. The "Harry Potter" series has benefited from a regular change of directors as the tone of the series has darkened.
Sony would be making a big mistake by looking back when the Spider-man saga should be pressing forward. After being teased by appearances by Dr. Curt Connors, will we ever see the Lizard? Will the Black Cat try to claw her way into Spidey's heart? Will Gwen Stacy return?
Sony is the guardian of the Spider-man legend, giving the studio control over a character that means a lot to many folks. Fans will be watching to see if Sony lives up to Uncle Ben's credo of power and responsibility.

We are dedicated to teaching and learning physics in a collaborative, performance-based community. We encourage observation and analysis of the natural world, and we seek to provide the tools and skills for solving problems and advancing our knowledge of the universe.
Lofty goals, but what is it like to be a physics major?
- Majors get hands-on, individualized instruction in small classes and well-equipped laboratories.
- You will get to know your Professors because they teach all of the classes and are extensively available outside of class.
- If you want to get involved in cutting-edge research funded by agencies like the National Science Foundation and NASA you can; even as a freshman!
- We have an award winning Society of Physics Students chapter, which sponsors a wide range of activities.
- Majors learn to think analytically, critically, and logically. We also help you learn to give scientific presentations, poster presentations, and write scientific papers. These are all skills that employers and graduate schools look for.
We also offer a master of arts in teaching degree (M.A.T.) in physics, which can be obtained in 13 months. During that time, students perform physics research, learn advanced physics topics and a range of education techniques, and spend a semester student teaching. At the end of the program, you will have your initial certificate to teach physics in New York State.

unsigned char PadMajor[8] = {60,62,64,65,67,69,71,72};
would it go back to 1 or would it continue to 4?
Is an array "loopable"?
a pin in the board (digital pin 1) where it also reads TX. Could i use it?
So if we add always (++) it would "loop" through the values inside the array.
index = 0;while(conditionIsTrue){array[index++] = // somethingif(index > indexLimit) index = 0;// do something else}
array[++index] = // something
When i connect an LED with a 1k resistor to the pin1 on the Arduino, the LED is ALWAYS on
But then it came to my mind: do i need to solder things to the ARDUINO?

Hello Music Lovers. This is my first entry into this guitar archive
so I thought I would put in one of my favourite tunes for the
accoustic guitar. This is a song by Paul Kelly, who is an Australian
solo artist that has been recognised as one of our greatest song
writers of all time. He is famous for his accoustic ballads like
this one which I will give you the chords for here.
Just a quick note. If you have a friend with a nice strat sitting
you strum. That's how it sounds on the recording, and it's a pretty
cool sound. Ok I'll get on with it now.
Sweet Guy By Paul Kelly.
4/4 Time
Intro 8 bars
Am / / / Dm / / /
Am / / / Dm / / /
(Verse1. Same strumming pattern)
Am Dm
In the morning you wreck the bed. You bring me coffee black and
F Am
Then we start up again. And the coffee goes cold
Am Dm
I wake up drinking from your lips. Kisses warm and tender
F Dm
And I would give up the world. Just to see your smile
Am G F
One thing I would never understand
Am G D
It's become my problem
Am G F
And It's something right out of my hands
My hands are clean
(No Chord. Just sing it )
What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean.
4 bars Accoustic strum
Am / / / Dm / / /
( Verse 2. Same Chord Progression)
I went to town with a moody man. A handsome Doctor Jekyll
He was right by my side. Turning into Mr Hyde.
I ran for cover but I ran too slow. I was stitched by strangers.
And they shook their heads that someone could do the things you did.
( Chorus 2 Same as before)
......What makes such a sweet guy turn so mean.
(Instrumental Break)
This is just the accoustic playing the Am /// Dm/// F/// Am///
pattern once
( Bridge )
I must be mad I must be crazy
F7 Am
Every one keeps telling me so
Every day I seem it coming
Now Im facing the wall waiting for the blow
( Verse 3. No Accoustic chords for first two lines. Only the electric picking )
In the morning you kiss my head. You say it was another.
Now you're down on your knees begging me to forgive you please
Am Dm
I wake up aching from your touch, Every muscle tender
F Dm
Then I look in your eyes the way you smile. And I'm hypnotised.
( Final Chorus)
same as before
( Outro )
Repeat and fade
Am / / / Dm / / /
Well that's over. If you wan't any more cool Australian music
Thank-you all

GET FAST PAIN HELP IN Corpus Christi
WE HAVE BEEN HELPING Corpus Christi AND SURROUNDING CITIES FIND THE BEST LOCAL PAIN DOCTORS.
OUR QUALIFIED Corpus Christi TX PAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS, SURGEONS AND PROVIDERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT PROVIDING THE BEST POSSIBLE TREATMENT PLAN OPTIONS AND PROCEDURES AVAILABLE.
Chronic pain management facilities are being built up all over Corpus Christi to meet the ever growing need for pain alleviation. Back centers and cancer centers also offer options remedy for pain.
Yet, as pain institutions continue to grow, there appears the question of which pain centre is the appropriate one for the patient. Clearly, it's vital to find a Corpus Christi Pain Center close by before making any choices.
Here are a few methods to try to find a pain management facility if a doctor cannot give you a great recommendation:
• A local or leading hospital nearby may have a facility where they handle pain or they may have partners who are can.
• In the case the local or leading hospital close by does not have a pain treatment facility or a partner, inquiring with their Department of Anesthesiology on pain treatments may help simplify the search. The Spine Center or Cancer Center are other hospital sections one can consider.
• Medical schools may have pain management practices or they may also run evaluations on pain which is a great way for you to get treated.
• Never overlook the web. The Web has a community of pain specialists and pain management facilities that's suitable to obtain. Likewise, distinct on-line web directories of pain specialists and pain centers can be found. The proper site of the American Society of Anesthesiology can help a lot when trying to find various pain practitioners and facilities in a particular place.
The American Academy of Pain Management and the American Board of Pain Medicine may also help since both of these organizations give certificate to practices and physicians.
What makes a great Corpus Christi Pain Clinic?
It's time to learn the characteristics of a great facility when one has made a list of the possible practices, facilities, or practitioners inside their place.
• Certification from a recognized organization is most significant. This will help make sure the patients are receiving the finest services and the perfect trained workers.
• The doctors and support staff should be interested as links to the patient's instance. They should ask questions that would help find the primary cause of the pain. They should also inform patients about different treatments, fees and other services being offered.
• In pain management, empathy is a vital principle. Irritability and moodiness is an average feature of someone in pain that is why the staff of a particular facility must have fortitude and comprehension. Patients who are impatient about pain relief must not be reprimanded by doctors or nurses. A kindly-worded reason is the perfect thing to do if a patient's request cannot be met.
• Valid facilities never set up a patient's expectations too high because a complete pain treatment cannot be given.
Various Types of Corpus Christi Pain Facilities
The growing variety of pain management facilities in Florida is a sign to all health specialists' hope to relieve pain in people who need it.
Be extremely careful when studying your local Corpus Christi Pain Management Facility. It pays to read and do some research.
Having a trusted physician will help prevent lots of medical associated complications and mistakes. Going to a brand new physician each time there's a slight ailment or common cold can lead to your higher costs and possible mis diagnosis.
Here are a few suggestions to locate a Pain Physician in Corpus Christi .
General practitioners are whom most folks think about when there are any symptoms within the body that cause pain or headache. Remaining healthy generally calls for yearly check ups and taking health precautions seriously. Regular physicals and check ups will help see whether there are any problem areas. Finding the issue early generally can enhance the quality of life and can prolong life by preventing the progression of the sickness. People who have compromised immune systems due to previous sicknesses may greatly rely on having fast access to their physician stay healthy.
Families with one or more little kids may choose to seek out a Pediatrician. Their practice may cater only to kids under a particular age. It may require a little work to discover a pain pediatrician in Tampa, FL that can see your child. Many insurance insurance companies allow for greater than one doctor to be seen at a time within the same family
Chronic Illness
Their specialized knowledge can be valuable when the well-being problems are beyond the general practitioners amount of knowledge. Patients with cancer through the entire body may have to see an Oncologist.
There's an growing amount of people both young and old fighting diabetes. Many complications that can be life threatening are associated with the well-being and state of your feet. Seeing a podiatrist regularly assess the well-being of your feet and is critical to controlling diabetes.
Looking through local on-line listings will show the names and places of several pain physicians. Yet, finding one that works nicely to satisfy personal needs may take a little legwork. Asking your neighbors, friends, and family for referral will always be more helpful than an on-line search.
Fast Pain Help is Pain Physician Locator Service. We only partner with certified and well respected Pain Management Physicians to ensure you have the best possible care.
