My brother Don and his wife Alice have been married over 30 years. They are a wonderful couple and I love them both so much. We have a great relationship and I'm so thankful to have them in my life! You know when you have family members over the years you develop a system and we have one that works really well.
When they are at my house, I do the cooking and clean-up. When we are at theirs, Alice takes care of everything! I love her cooking and she makes so many wonderful meals.
With Alice's permission I'm sharing her recipe for Tuna Pasta Salad – it's my favorite salad she makes; creamy, crunchy, salty and savory – it checks off all the bases!. Easy to make and tastes even better the next day.
Are you bbq'ing this weekend? This salad would be perfect to compliment grilled pork, steak or chicken. You should definitely give this yummy salad a try!
If you are adding more tuna to your diet this Tuna Pasta Salad Recipe should be on your list. This salad is the perfect to compliment grilled pork, steak or chicken. Terrific as a light lunch!
Put a pot of water on to boil - generously salt the water. When boiling add the pasta and cook to al dente. When the timer's up, drain and rinse with cold water. Sprinkle with a teaspoon of olive oil & a teaspoon of seasoning salt (I use McCormick's). Set aside to cool.
Slice the olives, dice the celery into a small dice and thinly slice the green onions. Drain the tuna and flake it well.
Add the olives, celery, green onions and tuna to the pasta. Also add the grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt & 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix to combine. Add the mayonnaise & miracle whip - equal amounts of each. Depending on how warm the pasta is you may need to add additional mayo & miracle whip - just eyeball it. You want this to be nicely creamy.
Tuck it in the fridge when you're done - stir well before serving, add additional mayo/miracle whip if needed.
I have eaten this salad many time and it is very good. Thank you both. Alice for making the Salad first and Deb for publishing it.
Looks fantastic! Can you substitute the tuna for chicken?
I don't know why you couldn't – probably just use one rotisserie chicken breast. You may need a bit more salt – give that a try & let me know if you like it!
Holy yum this looks incredible, awesome photo! I think I may substitute chicken for tuna… this looks great!
I hope you give it a try Lizzy – if you do the switch-a-roo, let me know what you think!
Tuna noodles used to be one of my favorite dishes as a little girl!
Me too and I love it as a salad.
This looks absolutely delicious! I am definitely saving this one for later!
Awesome, let me know what you think Marye.
I love the crunch you added with the celery and salty olives.
Definitely makes the salad Christie – thanks for stopping by!
What a great salad for all of the end of summer BBQs coming up! I am loving the idea of the parmesan and olives, has anyone ever added capers? I wonder if they would give a nice briny kick too.
I have not tried capers Des, I think it would be a great addition to this salad!
Tuna pasta salad is an old favorite – now I'm craving it! I love the addition of olives, it's making me think capers would be good, too.
Yes, I think you're right – it's that salty bite that adds so much!
Awesome, let me know what you think Theresa!
Oh yes, an oldie but a goodie, thanks Gwen!
I love family recipes – it's so nice Alice was happy to share. I really like the addition of the olives and the parmesan to this yummy salad. What a lovely recipe! Sharing. Thank you for being a part of the Hearth and Soul hop.
It's such a blessing to have family that is enjoyable to be around, and to have those close relationships! Looks like a delicious pasta salad!
Thanks Jamie – so true on all accounts! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I love tuna salad and I love pasta salads, together they sound wonderful, thank-you to your sister-in-law for the great recipe!
With Labor Day coming up this would make a great addition to the potluck/BBQ menu!
Wonderful – I hope you & your family enjoy it Sandi!
delicious pasta salad thanks for sharing with Hearth and soul blog hop, pinning and tweeting.
Thank you so much! I always enjoying your party!!!
Wow, seeing this brings back some foodie memories with my grandmother. She made a similar, but not exact dish…YUM.
Salad looks great. I noticed that the ingredients are very very similar to our Family Tuna Pasta Salad.. I am going to pass ours and I will also make a batch of your Tuna Salad and compare. Out secret ingredient is Good Seasons Italian salad dressing.
no substitutiones on the GSISDressing – a must have ingredient.
(White Albicore works best for our family.
Directions are the same as yours. This salad is even better stored in the Refrigerator Over night.
Looking forward to receiving your weekly Recipes. Like you site – Simple and to the point and very easy to read.
Ooh I LOVE your salad Tom that sounds absolutely delicious and I will definitely give it a try! The combo for the dressing sounds terrific and I will be sure to be on the look out for the Good Seasons Italian Dressing!

Home Islands and Coast Juist – Cozy island in the North Sea
Juist – Cozy island in the North Sea
Juist Beach © Fokussiert / Fotolia
One of seven of the inhabited East Frisian Islands, Juist is a special sanctuary that lies off the coast of Lower Saxony in the Wadden Sea. This island municipality is a popular destination for German and Dutch tourists, although it's becoming increasingly popular with visitors from further afield.
It might only be 7 kilometres from the German mainland, but Juist offers a real escape from the headaches of the modern world. With a population of just 1,500 people, this island allows for a sense of real relaxation, with 17 kilometres of stunning coastline, unspoilt natural scenery and a more laid back approach to day-to-day life.
The locals call this mesmerising island 'Töwerland', meaning 'Magic Land' in native German. The Wadden Sea that laps at its shored was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009 and it's not hard to see why. Whether you're heading to Juist to explore the great outdoors and survey the wildlife, enjoy a spot of sailing, or simply relax and unwind, you're guaranteed to have a good time.

Things to See and Do on Juist
Although it's a popular tourist destination for Europeans in this part of the continent, one of Juist's main draws is its natural wonders. The island is home to several endangered bird species, while the eastern shores of Juist play host to basking seal colonies. Encompassed by gorgeous sandbanks and beaches, even a simple stroll becomes a real experience on Juist.
Juist is home to only two villages, the smallest being Loog and the largest sharing the name of the island. It's here you'll find most of the attractions on the island. Juist is particularly well-known for its spa and wellness centres, with an extensive selection of treatments that make full use of the surrounding seawater and its innate therapeutic benefits.
If you're after more excitement come the later hours, head to the southern coast of the island towards the Marina. This spot offers something for everyone, with a first-rate selection of bars and restaurants, along with a recreational harbour that means sailing enthusiasts and those after boat excursions have plenty to interest them.
If you'd rather enjoy your break at your own pace, simply enjoy a stroll about the island and make use of all those brilliant beaches. Perfect for sunbathing, swimming outdoor pursuits, you'll never need to step foot on the same stretch of sand twice during your holiday.

A Summer Spectacle
Juist depends on its tourism economy to survive so you'll never be disappointed whatever the time of year you visit. However, if you're after warmer temperatures, it's best to head to this island in the late spring and summer months. Although the mercury begins to rise in May, the warmest weather arrives in August, when temperatures tend to average at around 17.2°C. The mild weather lasts until around September, with the cold snap kicking in around October and enduring until around April.
If you're after cultural attractions, it's worth pencilling in a visit for May. In this month, one of Juist's most popular events takes place, the Juist Music Festival. Bringing together native islanders and performers from further afield, it's an ideal way to let your hair down and get to know a little more about the local culture.

Savour Local Flavours
Due to its location, it's little surprise that the island boasts a culinary offering rich in fish and seafood. Flounder, herring and mackerel are all common features on menus here, while trout and eel are also enduringly popular. Island cuisine shares many similarities with Lower Saxony food favourites in general, although there's still a few local twists to discover and devour.
Vegetarians needn't worry about feeling left out. This part of Germany is renowned for more than a few veggie-friendly staples. The traditional potato is the most popular choice of veg and accompanies a lot of meals, although it's not the classic roaster you'll be enjoying. Try Salzkartoffel if you're after an alternative to your Sunday dinner favourites. Kale is also a go-to green on the island. Long before this leafy vegetable became a fad with foodies, kale was being enjoyed by Juist islanders and Germans for decades. Don't forget, if you're visiting in harvest season, make sure you enjoy German asparagus at least once.

Island Accommodation
As the island is a tourism hotspot, you won't be short on options when it comes to guest accommodation. The centre of Juist village offers a good variety of hotels and hostel rooms for holiday-makers with all kinds of budgets, although it can be tricky to find a bed in one of these in peak tourist season.
Many homeowners on the island have capitalised on the increasing popularity of Juist as a holiday destination, turning spare rooms and annexes into holiday rentals. You'll be able to take your pick from a much more affordable range of alternatives if you don't mind sharing your space with a live-in landlord. That being said, you'll also find plenty of apartments and houses to rent without the worry of crossing paths with the owner.
Looking for something much cheaper? Camping is a viable option well worth looking into. Definitely one reserved for warmer weather, there's ample camping spaces on the island with pitch fees being very reasonable.
Transport Goes Back to Basics
It might surprise you to know that most motor vehicles aren't allowed on Juist. The island went car-free some time ago and now the only cars and vehicles allowed on the roads here are emergency service vehicles. Even tractors used in agriculture require a special license.
It might seem like a setback to your trip, but in fact this car-free setup will only enhance your time in Juist. The local islanders have rediscovered classic modes of transport to keep them connected, with horse-drawn carriage and the bicycle becoming the default method of transportation for longer journeys.
The island itself is only 17 kilometres long and a mere 500 metres wide at its narrowest point, meaning it's easy to get around by food or by bike. If you're looking to cycle about, you'll be glad to know that Juist offers plenty of bike rental facilities throughout the two main villages on the island.
If you're worried about how you might arrive to the island, don't be. Juist has its own airport on the eastern side of the island, with FLN Frisia Luftverkehr offering scheduled flights for convenient connections to the mainland and elsewhere in the Frisian Islands. Most visitors to the island use the ferry however, with services arriving daily.
Shop in Style
You might think that an island as small as Juist wouldn't offer much in the way of retail therapy, but you'd be surprised. You certainly won't find any shopping malls here, but there's plenty of smaller stalls and boutiques to explore and use up your spending money.
Head into the centre of Juist village and you'll find a variety of shops selling everything from handicrafts and baked goods, to high-end fashion and jewellery. Perfect for those on the hunt for special souvenirs to take back home with them.
If you're going all-inclusive with a holiday rental on Juist, you'll be reassured to know there's a good choice of grocery shops and supermarkets here, although you can expect to pay a slight premium for goods when compared to prices on the mainland. Whatever you're in the market for, you'll find most of the retail outlets on Juist in the main village on Bahnofstrasse and Carl-Stegmann-Strasse.
Enjoy the Sunset in Style
As an increasingly popular holiday destination, there's a great selection of bars and restaurants to explore on Juist. As with shopping opportunities, most of the best bars and eateries can be found in the heart of the main village itself, although you'll find a smaller selection of options in the tinier village of Loog in the west.
In Juist, there's a good range of restaurants and bars along Strandstrasse, while Friesenstraase is also packed with choices. Take your pick from trendy cocktail bars to kick off your evening in style, or put on your best threads and enjoy a romantic dinner in more refined restaurants. There's also the option of heading to the Marina to savour some seafood and enjoy spectacular views of the sunset across the Wadden Sea.

Renee持續對Crystal作人身攻擊,而且踏到種族歧視的紅線.Crystal直接向Karen告狀.Jim Fenner自告奮勇來處理.剛開始他劃下行為的準線:"As long as you keep your thoughts to yourself. But if you open that again, I'll have you. 妳只能放在心裡.如果妳再說出口,我一定要妳好看."
Helen: Yeah! So my name is Helen Stewart for those that don't know me. I suppose I'm about to start by letting you all know what I'm doing here!

Boris eat your heart out.
Here's my favourite email from a crowd-funder who's been involved since day one and has decided to buy some more shares today: "As you know, I bought into this film because I believed in alternative forms of distribution rather than a passion for climate change. But following you over the past couple of years has made me think more and more. There are limits to what I can do (my job means I need to fly) but I've come to realise I need to do what I can. I'm going to partly fund [my extra shares] by selling my stupid 4WD and buying a Prius. Where do I send the money?"
Several people asked whether the news that the BBC had bought the film meant our money worries were over. Sadly not, as that cash goes to our lovely investors.
10:10's competition to win an eco-makeover for one lucky person's house closes tomorrow at 10.10am. If you're a UK homeowner, you'd be frankly stupid not to give yourself a shot at a solar-powered, cheaper-bills, holier-than-thou future, all for gratis. And I'm pretty damn sure (well, have heard a rumour) that Kevin McCloud will be popping round for tea with the winner.
We are gathering a merry gang of past, present and future Stupideers to cram into our office in Camden on Sat 21st and Sun 22nd to blitz our websites. Looking for laptop-owning reasonably-web-savvy volunteers who'd like to spend two days inputting data, singing along to Abba, drinking free beers and throwing pizza at Lizzie. Contact rhiannon@ageofstupid.net if you can handle that much fun of a weekend.
Was anyone trying to watch the webcast of the UK premiere way back in March? It didn't work for ages and then it kicked in as Miliband took to the stage... trigger any memories? We've got a little courtcase going on and need witnesses who saw the webcast not working to write witness statements to support our case. It's painless, but the statements have to be at the court by end of play tomorrow (Friday) so please contact rhiannon@ageofstupid.net urgently if you can help. Mucho gracias.
10:10's Tim is "as big as God"
Tim Nicholson has been doing a sterling job as the one-and-only coordinator of 10:10 Health, signing up hospitals and surgeries and ambulance services and anybody with a stethoscope to cut their emissions by 10% next year. This week he won a landmark court case: "that a belief in man-made climate change and the moral imperative to do something about it can be classed as a philosophical belief under British employment regulations". Go Tim. The whole story here.
After welcoming missile manufactures, energy companies and Spurs FC (I know, I know), 10:10 last week said it's first "Sorry, but no" to a potential recruit. Yup, Manchester Airport got the thumbs down. We just felt that sticking a few solar panels on the roof of their airport wasn't really going to help climate change much seeing as they plan to double passenger numbers by 2030. Of course if they will commit to cut their total emissions (including flights) by 10% next year, we will welcome them with open arms... Hilariously incensed tabloid froth here.
Lizzie and I are unfortunately going to be on a UN train screening Stupid to a load of politicians and media en route to Copenhagen (as you do), but most of the rest of the UK's climate-concerned will be taking to the streets of London on the 5th December for The Wave. Coaches are being booked and blue paint mixed already - should be the biggest ever climate march.
Denying death as well as climate change?
Great George Monbiot article this week: When people are confronted with images or words or questions that remind them of death they respond by shoring up their worldview, rejecting people and ideas that threaten it and increasing their striving for self-esteem." And these letters George exchanged with denier Ian Plimer also make fascinating reading.
Our friendly friends at Friends of the Earth are hosting a big bash tonight in support of their Food Chain campaign (global meat & dairy is responsible for more climate-changing emissions than all the cars, planes and trucks on Earth). Pretty amazing line-up including Marcus Brigstocke, Russell Howard, Richard Herring and Razorlight.
Surely not a PR stunt presented as news?
"Does anyone know anything more about Boris coming to the recue of Age of Stupid film-maker Franny Armstrong?
"She's well known for all the novel ways she's found to publicise and distribute her film, and now, after failing to get a meeting with Boris for the last few months, she amazingly calls for help just as he's riding by, then gets him talking about the new program she's pushing. Coincidence? Hmmm. Or have I just been round popbitch for too long?"
Oooh, look at the satellite technicians in the OB truck at our Global Premiere concentrating really really hard on how to get the uplink from the Himalayas to bounce off the remote satellite in the Arctic and then... oh no, they're choosing their Chinese takeaway... Ha.
Thank you all so much for rushing to our rescue. We are really touched.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Back in Hospital
By Pamela Geller - on July 30, 2020
Ginsburg recently admitted to having siver cancer or metastatic disease which sounds very bad. She had colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer then "cancer free." Now liver… I think we can safely say these are metastases. That she hasn't resigned is an indictment on her character and morality. How bloody selfish and autocratic – the very opposite of what a Supreme Court Justice should be.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg Back in Hospital for 'Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Procedure'
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is back in the hospital for a "minimally invasive non-surgical procedure" but is expected to be released by the end of the week, the Supreme Court announced on Wednesday.
By Hannah Blau, Bretibart, July 30, 2020:
Ginsburg, 87, underwent what was described as a "minimally invasive non-surgical procedure" at New York City's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center "to revise a bile duct stent that was originally placed at Sloan Kettering in August 2019."
"According to her doctors, stent revisions are common occurrences and the procedure, performed using endoscopy and medical imaging guidance, was done to minimize the risk of future infection," the press release stated.
According to the release, Ginsburg is "resting comfortably and expects to be released from the hospital by the end of the week."
Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, earlier this month for a possible infection, undergoing an endoscopic procedure cleaning out a bile duct stent. Days later, the justice revealed that she began chemotherapy in mid-May for a "recurrence of cancer."
"On May 19, I began a course of chemotherapy (gemcitabine) to treat a recurrence of cancer. A periodic scan in February followed by a biopsy revealed lesions on my liver," she said in a statement, noting that her recent hospitalizations were unrelated to the recurrence of cancer.
"Immunotherapy first essayed proved unsuccessful. The chemotherapy course, however, is yielding positive results. Satisfied that my treatment course is now dear, I am providing this update," she continued, adding that a July 7 scan yielded positive results — a "significant reduction of the liver lesions and no new disease."
Ginsburg said she is continuing "bi-weekly chemotherapy to keep my cancer at bay" and assured the public that she is able to maintain an "active daily routine."
"I have often said I would remain a member of the Court as long as I can do the job full steam," the justice said. "I remain fully able to do that."

November Snow In Texas? Experts Warn Decreased Solar Activity Will Shatter All Global Climate Models
November 14, 2018 by Michael Snyder
Our sun has been behaving very strangely, and this unusual behavior is really starting to affect our weather patterns. There have been virtually no sunspots in 2018 as solar activity has dropped to alarmingly low levels. As a result, our atmosphere has been cooling and shrinking, and experts are warning that we are heading for a bitterly, bitterly cold winter. And even though the official start of winter is well over a month away, winter weather is already sweeping the nation. As you will see below, a giant winter storm is about to slam into the east coast, but what is happening in Texas is even more unnerving. On Wednesday morning, the temperature in San Antonio plummeted to just 23 degrees, and that absolutely shattered the old record…
"This shatters the old record low of 28 degrees set back in 1916," the National Weather Service tweeted of Wednesday's weather. Tuesday night just before midnight, the city hit 28 degrees, breaking the previous record of 29 set in 1907, records show.
Typically, November temperatures are significantly warmer. The average high for the month is about 71 degrees and the normal low is 51 degrees. San Antonio's average low this year has been comparable to other years, but its average high, a cool 66.6 degrees, has been lower than normal.
Over in Houston, things were even stranger. When Houston residents woke up on Wednesday morning, they were stunned to see snow on the ground…
An incredible sight danced over the cities glistening skyscrapers of Houston this morning and likely caused many to rub their eyes and shake their heads. No, it wasn't your lying eyes but rather the earliest snowfall ever observed in the city of Houston and surrounding areas.
It's official, according to the National Weather Service, that Houston has recorded it's earliest snowfall ever observed — and not just by a day or two but by 10 days! The previous earliest trace snow was November 23rd, 1979.
It isn't supposed to snow in mid-November in Texas.
Louisiana got snow too. On Twitter, one resident of West Monroe posted a photo of snow blanketing his vehicle on Wednesday morning, and it quickly went viral.
Something very usual is happening, but the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it because it doesn't fit the narratives that they are pushing.
And all over the eastern half of the country, approximately 80 million people are about to be slammed by a perfect example of our new climate reality…
A winter storm that's already responsible for 2 deaths will bring a messy mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to portions of the central and eastern U.S. over the next two days. Power outages, travel headaches and school closings are all likely as the storm strengthens.
Over 80 million people live where some level of a winter storm alert is in effect, all the way from Arkansas to Maine over a distance of about 1,500 miles.
Yes, everyone knew that we were headed toward a solar minimum eventually, but solar activity was not supposed to drop off this much so soon.
This extremely unusual decline in solar activity is causing our atmosphere to rapidly cool down and shrink, and this is greatly alarming climate scientists such as Dr. Tony Philipps…
Scientists say Earth's atmosphere is about to get hit by some record cold – but it's not because of anything caused by humans. It's because of a lack of sunspots which means a major decrease in ultraviolet waves coming in our direction.
Dr. Tony Philipps of SpaceWeatherArchive.com says there have been practically no sunspots in 2018, and that's causing earth's upper atmosphere to cool down and even shrink.
Another scientist that is sounding the alarm is Martin Mlynczak of NASA's Langley Research Center. According to him, NASA's Thermosphere Climate Index is now showing a reading that is "10 times smaller than we see during more active phases of the solar cycle"…
To help track the latest developments, Martin Mlynczak of NASA's Langley Research Center and his colleagues recently introduced the "Thermosphere Climate Index."
The Thermosphere Climate Index (TCI) tells how much heat nitric oxide (NO) molecules are dumping into space. During Solar Maximum, TCI is high (meaning "Hot"); during Solar Minimum, it is low (meaning "Cold").
"Right now, it is very low indeed … 10 times smaller than we see during more active phases of the solar cycle," says Mlynczak.
10 times smaller?
That doesn't sound good.
And according to Mlynczak, this decrease in solar activity could result in "a Space Age record for cold"…
"We see a cooling trend," says Martin Mlynczak of NASA's Langley Research Center. "High above Earth's surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold."
So I hope that you are ready for a very chilly winter.
Across the Atlantic, another expert that is sounding the alarm is Piers Corbyn. He believes that the lack of solar activity that we are witnessing could rapidly produce another "mini ice age"…
Solar activity and jet stream forecasts suggest a pattern of cold similar to the historic Mini Ice Age which occurred during the mid-17th century.
The period otherwise known as the Little Ice Age gripped Europe and North America and saw Britons hold frost fairs on the frozen River Thames.
"What we are looking at is a pattern of circulation similar to that which was observed during the mini ice-age," Mr Corbyn said.
What he is referring to is a period of substantial global cooling that occurred during "the Maunder Minimum". If you are not familiar with "the Maunder Minimum", the following is what Wikipedia has to say about it…
The Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot minimum", is the name used for the period around 1645 to 1715 during which sunspots became exceedingly rare, as was then noted by solar observers.
During that time, farming became much more difficult and horrific famines erupted all over the globe.
If our planet is now entering a similar period, we are going to be in very deep trouble very rapidly. Today, we barely produce enough food to feed the entire globe, and so a major worldwide climate shift could potentially produce unprecedented chaos on a global scale.
So let us hope that solar activity returns to normal soon, because if it doesn't, the unthinkable is going to begin to happen.

Total Planetary Collapse: The World's Vertebrate Population Has Fallen By An Average Of 60 Percent Since 1970
October 30, 2018 by Michael Snyder
The clock is ticking for humanity, and it is not just because our financial system is heading for the biggest implosion that any of us have ever seen. The truth is that we are literally running out of everything. We will not have enough oil to meet our energy needs long before we get to the end of this century. The lack of fresh water is already a major crisis in many parts of the world. Our air and our soil are more polluted than they have ever been before. And at this point we can barely feed the entire planet, but global demand for food is expected to escalate dramatically in the years ahead. If we continue doing things the way that we have been doing them, a future filled with famine, civil unrest, environmental chaos and war appears to be inevitable. We are literally on the verge of total planetary collapse, but because this is happening in slow-motion most people don't feel an urgency to do anything about it.
And to a certain extent, the damage has already been done. This week, the WWF released a report which found that the vertebrate population of the world has fallen by an average of 60 percent since 1970. the following comes from NBC News…
The population of the planet's vertebrates has dropped an average of 60 percent since 1970, according to a report by the WWF conservation organization.
The most striking decline in vertebrate population was in the tropics in South and Central America, with an 89 percent loss compared to 1970. Freshwater species have also significantly fallen — down 83 percent in that period.
You may be thinking that you are not a big fan of the WWF, and I certainly am not either.
But even if their numbers are off by half, we are still talking about a planetary disaster of unprecedented magnitude.
Vertebrates include all mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles. Species after species is being wiped out, and enormous holes are forming in the global food chain.
I don't know if I even have the words to describe what we are facing. The chief executive of the WWF says that what we are experiencing is "death by a thousand cuts"…
The animals that remain will fight against warming oceans choked with plastic, toppled rain forests may zero out fragile species, and refuges such as coral reefs may nearly die off.
That will transform life as humanity knows it, said Carter Roberts, the chief executive of the WWF in the United States, if societies do not reverse course to protect the food, water and shelter needed for survival.
"The numbers are astonishingly bad," Roberts told The Washington Post. "It's death by a thousand cuts."
There are a couple of other numbers from the report that I wanted to highlight.
First of all, the report states that nearly 6 billion tons of fish and invertebrates have been taken out of our oceans since 1950. Today, over 4 billion people get at least some of their protein from eating fish, and if we do not start doing a better job of taking care of our oceans we are going to be facing a horrific planetary famine very soon.
Secondly, the report also claims that 90 percent of all seabirds in the world now have plastic in their stomachs.
Back in 1960, that number was sitting at just 5 percent.
We are literally filling up our oceans with our plastic waste, and in the process we are destroying our future. For much, much more on this, please see my recent article entitled "There Are Trillions Of Pieces Of Floating Plastic In Our Oceans, And If We Don't Stop All Marine Life Will Eventually Be Dead".
The time to act is now, but it is extremely difficult to get the entire world to act in unison on anything, and most of the "environmental solutions" that are being proposed today are complete rubbish.
But "doing nothing" is certainly not an option either. Without our natural environment, modern societies would cease to exist, and this is a point that the report made very clearly…
The report urged quick action to avoid irreversible change to the planet, including a shift to green energy and environmentally friendly food production.
"What is clear is that without a dramatic move beyond 'business as usual' the current severe decline of the natural systems that support modern societies will continue," the report said.
And Tanya Steele was even more direct when she spoke with CNN…
Tanya Steele, the WWF's chief executive in Britain, put it more bluntly to CNN: "We are the first generation to know we are destroying our planet and the last one that can do anything about it."
Years ago, I remember watching a DVD entitled "Collapse" by Michael Ruppert. I know that many of you probably watched it as well, because at the time it was very popular. In that video, Ruppert made some excellent points about our limited natural resources. But things have gotten so much worse than when he originally put that DVD out, and if he was alive today he would be absolutely horrified at how rapidly things have fallen apart.
Infinite growth is not possible on a planet with limited natural resources, and at this point we are literally running out of everything.
Will we be the generation that will be remembered for turning things around, or will we be the generation that will be remembered for destroying the Earth?
I would certainly like for it to be the former, but I have a feeling that it will turn out to be the latter.

The Global Famine Begins: UN Announces That The Worst Food Crisis Since World War II Is Happening Right Now
We always knew that this would start happening. Earlier this month, I wrote about the severe economic problems that are plaguing South America, but up to this point I have neglected to discuss the horrific famines that are breaking out all over Africa. Right now there is a desperate need for food in South Sudan, Somalia, northeast Nigeria, Eritrea and Kenya. And Yemen, even though it is not technically part of Africa, is being affected by many of the same factors that are crippling nations all over eastern Africa. The United Nations says that more than 20 million people could die from starvation and disease if nothing is done. When I write about economic collapse, this is the kind of thing that I am talking about, and we are starting to see alarming conditions spread across the globe. Many believe that we could never possibly face this kind of food crisis in the western world, but unfortunately wishful thinking will only get you so far.
The United Nations was formed in 1945, and the UN has just announced that what we are facing this year is "the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the UN". The following comes from a CNN article entitled "20 million at risk of starvation in world's largest crisis since 1945, UN says"…
"We stand at a critical point in history. Already at the beginning of the year we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the UN," UN humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien said Friday.
"Now, more than 20 million people across four countries face starvation and famine. Without collective and coordinated global efforts, people will simply starve to death. Many more will suffer and die from disease."
It would be hard to overstate the level of human suffering that we are witnessing in many parts of Africa at this moment. In Somalia, the UN estimates that more than 6 million people are in desperate need of food aid…
As Somalia inches closer to a calamitous famine, the prospect of utter devastation and colossal loss of human life is once again becoming an imminent reality. The humanitarian situation in Somalia is deteriorating by the day with up to 6.2 million people in need of urgent aid. People across Somalia have been forced to walk hundreds of miles in search of food, water and shelter- with women and children disproportionately affected. Over 300,000 children under the age of five are severely malnourished, with over 200,000 more children at risk of acute malnutrition.
In South Sudan, close to half the population is in dire need of assistance, and things have gotten so bad there that people will literally eat grass if they can find it…
Across South Sudan more than one million children are believed to be acutely malnourished and UNICEF have said that if urgent aid does not reach them, many of them will die. "There is no food, we eat anything we can find," one South Sudanese mother told ITV. "We will find grass, we will eat it. That's just the way it us for us now."
Over in Yemen, there are about seven million people in need of food help, and authorities are warning that if nothing is done "millions of children" could starve to death…
"The numbers affected are absolutely extraordinary," said Mark Kaye, Save the Children's Yemen spokesperson.
"We keep on talking about a country that's on the brink of famine, but for me these numbers highlight that we're at the point of no return. If things are not done now we are going to be looking back on this and millions of children will have starved to death, and we'll all have been aware of this for some time. That will shame us as an international community for years to come.
Eritrea was not specifically included in the recent UN alert, but it should have been. Much of the country has been hit by a crippling drought, and approximately half of all children in Eritrea are stunted…
But we cannot understand why Eritrea is not included in the appeal. Unicef has confirmed what we know from our friends and families inside the country. In a report in January, the agency said that the El Niño drought has hit half of all Eritrea's regions. Acute malnutrition is widespread. As Unicef put it: "Malnutrition rates already exceeded emergency levels, with 22,700 children under five projected to suffer from severe acute malnutrition in 2017 … Half of all children in Eritrea are stunted, and as a result, these children are even more vulnerable to malnutrition and disease outbreaks."
We have been warned that there would be famines in diverse places in these times. But here in the western world we tend to be lulled into a false sense of security by our comfortable lives, not realizing that the massively inflated standard of living that we have been enjoying has been fueled by the largest mountain of debt in the history of the planet.
In Kenya, a national emergency has been declared due to drought and famine. For those of you that are parents, what would you do if your children were crying out for food but you didn't have anything to give them? The following story from Kenya is beyond heartbreaking…
Emmanuel Ayapar is three years old and can no longer walk. The flesh on his legs, which dangle from his mother's hip as she carries him around, is wasting away.
He seems listless and sad, tongue flicking repeatedly in and out of his mouth.
'We do not have enough food,' said Veronica, his 28-year-old mother. 'We eat only once a day.'
The little boy is suffering from severe malnutrition and is at risk of starving to death. He weighs just 15lb – half the typical weight for a boy of his age.
I don't even know what to say after that.
In the western world we can be so incredibly self-absorbed that we don't even realize that children are literally starving to death on the other side of the planet.
Hopefully those of us that live in "wealthy" western countries will step up to the plate and aid those in need, and hopefully this crisis will also help us to understand that we need to prepare for the day when things get difficult in our own nations too.

25 Shocking Facts About The Earth's Dwindling Water Resources
War, famine, mass extinctions and devastating plagues – all of these are coming unless some kind of miraculous solution is found to the world's rapidly growing water crisis. By the year 2030, the global demand for water will exceed the global supply of water by an astounding 40 percent according to one very disturbing U.S. government report. As you read this article, lakes, rivers, streams and aquifers are steadily drying up all over the planet. The lack of global water could potentially be enough to bring about a worldwide economic collapse all by itself if nothing is done because no society can function without water. Just try to live a single day without using any water some time. You will quickly realize how difficult it is. Fresh water is the single most important natural resource on the planet, and we are very rapidly running out of it. The following are 25 shocking facts about the Earth's dwindling water resources that everyone should know…
#1 Right now, 1.6 billion people live in areas of the world that are facing "absolute water scarcity".
#2 Global water use has quadrupled over the past 100 years and continues to rise rapidly.
#3 One recent study found that a third of all global corn crops are facing "water stress".
#4 A child dies from a water-related disease every 15 seconds.
#5 By 2025, two-thirds of the population of Earth will "be living under water stressed conditions".
#6 Due to a lack of water, Chinese food imports now require more land than the entire state of California.
#7 At this point, the amount of water that China imports is already greater than the amount of oil that the United States imports.
#8 Approximately 80 percent of the major rivers in China have become so polluted that they no longer support any aquatic life at all.
#9 The Great Lakes hold about 21 percent of the total supply of fresh water in the entire world, but Barack Obama is allowing water from those lakes "to be drained, bottled and shipped to China" at a frightening pace.
#10 It is being projected that India will essentially "run out of water" by the year 2050.
#11 It has been estimated that 75 percent of all surface water in India has been heavily contaminated by human or agricultural waste.
#12 In the Middle East, the flow of water in the Jordan River is down to only 2 percent of its historic rate.
#13 Due to a lack of water, Saudi Arabia has essentially given up on trying to grow wheat and will be 100 percent dependent on wheat imports by the year 2016.
#14 Of the 60 million people added to the major cities of the world every year, the vast majority of them live in deeply impoverished areas that have no sanitation facilities whatsoever.
#15 Nearly the entire southwestern United States is experiencing drought conditions as you read this article. It has been this way for most of the past several years.
#16 Thanks in part to the seemingly endless drought, the price index for meat, poultry, fish, and eggs in the U.S. just hit a new all-time high.
#17 As underground aquifers are relentlessly drained in California, some areas of the San Joaquin Valley are sinking by 11 inches a year.
#18 It is being projected that Lake Mead has a 50 percent chance of running dry by the year 2025.
#19 Most Americans don't realize this, but the once mighty Colorado River has become so depleted that it no longer runs all the way to the ocean.
#20 According to the U.S. Geological Survey, "a volume equivalent to two-thirds of the water in Lake Erie" has been permanently drained from the Ogallala Aquifer since 1940, and it is currently being drained at a rate of approximately 800 gallons per minute.
#21 Once upon a time, the Ogallala Aquifer had an average depth of approximately 240 feet, but today the average depth is just 80 feet. In some areas of Texas, the water is already completely gone.
#22 Approximately 40 percent of all rivers and approximately 46 percent of all lakes in the United States have become so polluted that they are are no longer fit for human use.
#23 Because of the high cost and the inefficient use of energy, desalination is not considered to be a widely feasible solution to our water problems at this time…
The largest desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere is currently under construction in Carlsbad in San Diego County at great expense. The price tag: $1 billion.
Right now, San Diego is almost totally dependent on imported water from Sierra snowmelt and the Colorado River. When the desalination plant comes online in 2016, it will produce 50 million gallons per day, enough to offset just 7 percent of the county's water usage. That's a huge bill for not very much additional water.
#24 We have filled the North Pacific Ocean with 100 million tons of plastic, and this is starting to have a very serious affect on the marine food chain. Ultimately, this could mean a lot less food available from the Pacific Ocean for humans.
#25 One very shocking U.S. government report concluded that the global demand for water will exceed the global supply of water by 40 percent by the year 2030.
Sadly, most Americans are not going to take this report seriously because they can still turn on their taps and get as much fresh water as they want.
For generations, we have been able to take our seemingly endless supplies of fresh water completely for granted, but things have now changed.
We are heading into a horrendous water crisis unlike anything that the world has ever experienced before, and right now there do not seem to be any large scale solutions capable of addressing this crisis.
Hundreds of millions of people living in North Africa, the Middle East, India and parts of China already deal with severe water shortages as part of their daily lives.
But this is just the beginning.
If nothing is done, the lack of fresh water will eventually be deeply felt by nearly everyone on the entire planet.

PM cautions states of more fidayeen attacks
Says time to improve intelligence
S. Satyanarayanan
New Delhi, September 5
Sounding a warning about the possibility of more fidayeen attacks and terror strikes on economic and religious targets, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today asked Chief Ministers to personally monitor steps to improve intelligence gathering at the grassroot level and toning up of law and order administration in their respective states.
Addressing the Chief Ministers' Conference on Internal Security here, the Prime Minister also asked Chief Ministers of Jammu and Kashmir and Northeastern states to be specially sensitive to the nuances of each situation.
Referring to inputs from Intelligence agencies, the Prime Minister said, "Intelligence agencies warn of a further intensification of violent activities with the possibility of fidayeen attacks, use of suicide bombers, attacks on economic and religious targets, targeting of vital installations, including nuclear establishments."
"Reports also suggest that terrorist modules and sleeper cells exist in some of our urban areas, all of which highlight the seriousness of the threat," he said, calling for greater alertness on the part of the states and local Intelligence Agencies, as also the police that has a locational advantage.
"Unless the beat constable is brought into the vortex of our counter-terrorist strategy, our capacity to pre-empt future attacks would be severely limited", he added.
Highlighting the threats to internal security from Naxalism, Dr Manmohan Singh proposed the setting up of an Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoM), headed by the Home Minister and select Chief Ministers to monitor the rapid spread of the Maoist movement.
During the address, the Prime Minister also warned that the "prevailing insecurity" among minorities, especially Muslims, could be "extremely deleterious for our polity".
"It is, hence, imperative that we embark immediately upon a proactive policy to ensure that a few individual acts do not result in tarnishing the image of an entire community, and remove any feelings of persecution and alienation from the minds of the minorities," he said asking the Chief Ministers to be sensitive and scrupulous while dealing with terrorism.
Lamenting that not enough was being done to fill up vacancies in the police force, Dr Manmohan Singh, in a veiled attack on certain states, pointed out the need for improving the quality of state Special Branches and toning up of the law and order administration.
"The police is the first responder in Naxal-related situations, and is a very important part of this entire effort. Therefore, filling up vacancies in state police forces and sensitising the police is a critical requirement while fighting Naxal violence," he said.
Though the overall security situation in Jammu and Kashmir had shown signs of improvement in the past two years, the Prime Minister called for constant vigil in view of continuing efforts by anti-India and anti-national elements to whip-up emotions and transform these into a violent movement.
On the situation in the North-East, the Prime Minister pointed out the necessity of being sensitive to the nuances of each situation, and the encyclopedic character of regional and tribal demands which, if not anticipated and dealt with in time, could lead to full-fledged insurgency.
"States like Manipur and Nagaland in the North-East appear specially vulnerable today and demand your personal attention. There is little scope for personal predilections that override national considerations and requirements," he said.

Whether it's slipping past that irritating colleague unseen, or negotiating your way around that potentially hell-spawned dog owned by the neighbours, there really is a little bit of spy in us all. Let's be honest, there's some serious empowerment to be gained from sleuthing from point to point, ghosting past every soul in sight.
Strange and potentially law-infringing though it may sound, there are few who'd deny the appeal of skulking around the local community after dark, night-vision goggles and all. Which is why video gaming's resident spymaster, Sam Fisher, has enjoyed so many shadowy outings – with Chaos Theory being the very best of the sneaky crop.
Entry number three in PlayStation's six-part Fisher family scrapbook saw Third Echelon's top student tasked with the diffusion of Eastern tension. As things heated up between China, Japan and South Korea, Sam had to find those stirring up this inflammatory international pot of doom and stop them in their pesky tracks.
Yet the brilliance of Chaos Theory didn't come from its overarching narrative, but rather from the sense of achievement at silently navigating from one point to another. Mr Fisher acrobatically tip-toed, climbed, and dangled his way across levels, hung from pipes and perched split-legged in narrow corridors above enemies to stay undetected. And when the bloodlust was too great to suppress, he stabbed his way through as well – the previous games' knockout moves relegated to a distant memory as Sam added a combat knife to his toolbelt. Each level was massive, and those one-hit knife kills made them even better.
And today it's this level traversal that still brings the game to life – identifying and attempting different ways to slink past an enemy becomes an art form. Do you perch high above a corridor and wait for him to saunter by? Or silently crouch in a dark recess or vent, away from searching eyes? Choices are numerous and always exciting.
Chaos Theory offers a purer breed of stealth than you'll get from today's stealth genre lineup. If it's a rowdy shooting gallery of interchangeable goons you fancy, it's probably best you look elsewhere. Any attempt to take on a few baddies toe-to-toe sees Sam minced into a fine purée long before he's even had chance to consider that tackling three gun-toting guards was a less-than-excellent plan for survival. This is a stealth game with no delusions. Just like your least favourite primary school teacher, Chaos Theory will quickly inform you that you will be quiet, or you will be punished.
At its core Chaos Theory represents the pinnacle of the original Splinter Cell trilogy, all while typifying what's so darn fun about a stealth game that doesn't include the safety net of action sequences should you get rumbled. It's a true test of patience and reserve that doesn't suffer fools glady.
The empowerment of lingering in the darkness, silently lurking as several unsuspecting goons pass you by – using your deadly prowess in the shadows to offset their clout in open warfare – still appeals. Ultimately Chaos Theory's biggest success is the power it grants, and the thrill of knowing that once a level begins, you're the real predator.

Walk With Giants at the World Golf Hall of Fame
February 5, 2013 by Brian Kendall Leave a Comment

(Last updated January 2020.)
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's golf shoes. Sam Snead's lunchbox. Canadian legend Marlene Stewart Streit's first hole-in-one trophy. These are among the thousands of artifacts displayed at the World Golf Hall of Fame, the centrepiece of Florida's World Golf Village, a combination resort and theme park located between Jacksonville and St. Augustine.
As in every corner of the golf-obsessed Sunshine State, the northeast has targeted golf travellers, who account for one-third of the rounds played annually. More than 50 public-play courses are found in a 153-kilometre stretch of prime beachfront marketers have tagged Florida's First Coast, since it was the first region settled by Europeans and offers the first beaches most vacationers see as they motor into the state.
Many visitors to the World Golf Hall of Fame stay on site at the refurbished 300-room Renaissance World Golf Village Resort, then set out to explore the village's shops, restaurants and the World Golf Hall of Fame, an entertaining mix of conventional museum-style exhibits and cutting-edge video presentations.
More than 2,000 artifacts are showcased in the Member Locker Room. (Image: World Golf Hall of Fame)
The brainchild of former PGA Tour commissioner Deane Beman, the hall is designed to reflect both golf's past and the spirit of the game. The 18 peaks of the roof of Boston architect E. Verner Johnson's glass-and-steel shrine represent the 18 holes in a round of golf. And the front curve of the building is meant to symbolize the arc of a golf swing.
A barrage of archival films unreel on screens large and small throughout the hall. In the Bob Hope Theatre, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and other immortals appear in a video highlighting the comedian's famous passion for the game. Also rolling in a never-ending loop is film of astronaut Alan Shepard's 6-iron shot during the 1971 Apollo 14 mission, the swing that made golf the first interplanetary sport.
Interactive exhibits include a putting green where visitors can try their luck with old-style wood-shafted putters and gutta percha balls. Another highlight is the Trophy Room at the top of the Hall of Fame Tower, which holds the World Cup, the President's Cup and many more of golf's most famous baubles.
But the spiritual heart of the museum is Shell Hall, where hand-crafted bronze relief plaques of each of the 141 honoured members line the Wall of Fame like ancient sarcophagi.
Marlene Stewart Streit is the Hall's only Canadian inductee. (Image: Canada's Sports Hall of Fame)
Even more fascinating — and intimately revealing — is the Member Locker Room, featuring more than 2,000 artifacts and memorabilia from the hall's members in lockers dedicated to telling their individual stories. Found here are Nicklaus's favourite fly fishing rod, Babe Zaharias's harmonica, one of the two Purple Hearts won by Lloyd Mangrum in the Second World War, and the 1970 and 1972 World Team jacket worn by Marlene Stewart Streit, the winner of every major title in women's amateur golf, who in 2004 became Canada's first — and still only — inductee to the hall.
Found almost in the shadow of the hall is the PGA Tour Golf Academy, the only teaching facility that carries the PGA Tour name. And right on the World Golf Village property are the two excellent golf courses built to serve, together with the hall, as the complex's primary draw.
Opened in 1998, the 6,939-yard Slammer and Squire course snakes tightly through wetlands before widening and wrapping around the hall. The layout was designed by Bobby Weed with input from Sam Snead (the Slammer) and Gene Sarazen (the Squire).
Palmer and Nicklaus, in their only design collaboration, built the King and Bear course, a 7,279-yard beast opened in 2000. Palmer (the King) handled the layout's original routing, which Nicklaus (the Bear) then refined.
Snead, Sarazen, Palmer and Nicklaus are all, of course, members of the World Golf Hall of Fame, where the historical evidence of their greatness awaits discovery.

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by an0nym0us, Jun 7, 2006.
how do i make my Trialer Trash Strain Seedling Hydro with Crystals and stuff ?
That question is absurd. It makes no sense. Alas, I shall retort anyway.
As long as you pull the males and take care of your plants properly - they should grow with plety of "crystals". Some strains have more "crystals" than other strains.
DUDE you've been posting pointless threads all over the city..."i was digging through my sisters trash...BLAH BLAH BLAH" there is no way your over 13. Just leave now. the way it sounds is that you have NO knowledge of cannibus and it's cultivation. read up, grow up. c'mon use the search button!
All else aside, you can't deny that.
Even if that is true - he did come here to learn.
LoL, alls I'm sayin' is that I thinky ou should give at least give some postive suggestions along with the flame.
Well its great that you came here to learn. You came to the right place. There is a ton of helpful info on here that can take you from seed to bud. Hell I learn something new every time I visit the site.
I would recommend you read some of the grow guides on here. I believe grandpa's grow guide can take you through everything you need to know. If there's something your wondering first try typing it in the search box. If you come up with nothing hit up the forums there are lots of people on here with a ton of info and are always more then willing to share. And weclome to the city.
Ok, It doesnt sound like you know much but you asked how to grow hydro with crystals. The crystals you see on budding marijuana plants are called trichomes and the amount of trichomes on a plant is strain dependent. To make your plants grow hydro you need a hydroponics setup. Hydroponics is growing without soil using just water and nutrients. There are many different types of hydroponics including; deep water culture (bubble bucket), drip irrigation and countless others. I would recommend starting your plants in soil considering you are a beginner. Also the seeds that you are growing are not a new strain they are just bag seeds. Breeding is a very complex process requiring hundreds if not thousands of man hours. Read up on different methods of growing and keep learning. Happy growing and welcome to the city.

Not An Easy Story to Tell
Ittsei Nakagawa was born in January 1930 in Fresno, California. He was fortunate in that the lady who delivered him was a midwife. His first name is spelled differently than it should be. It should be spelled "Issei". He lost his citizenship while in Japan during World War 2. He did not go to the embassy because there was none. After the war, he wanted to regain his citizenship and made an application. That is when he found out his name was spelled incorrectly. It was a mistake the midwife had made. His name is the only one in the world and he is very proud of it now. His real name means "to become one". He feels it is appropriate for an atomic survivor who is only one of those who survived. [Annotator's Note: Nakagawa is referring to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945.] In 1953, he met his wife. As soon as he graduated from UC Berkeley [Annotator's Note: University of California, Berkeley] they got married and have two girls.
Ittsei Nakagawa's father's side of the family came over to the United States [Annotator's Note: from Japan] around 1904. At the beginning, his grandfather and the two brothers came and found jobs. They found the "American Dream." His grandfather went back and got his wife and daughter. Nakagawa has two sisters. One was exposed to the atomic bomb [Annotator's Note: nuclear weapon dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945]. She was married to a farmer and she had a disease they could not define. He does not know if she ever got to see a Japanese doctor. American doctors will not always accept problems with atomic survivors diagnosed by Japanese doctors. If they want to solve a problem, they have to go to Japan for treatment which is not easy. Some American insurance companies will not insure the survivors.
Ittsei Nakagawa was born in Fresno, California and lived in Orange Cove [Annotator's Note: Orange Cove, California] in the 1930s. His father and his uncle shared a home where they all grew up together. They later moved to Reedley, California around 1940. There was some indication that war may happen between Japan and America. Japan was at war in the Asian world and they were concerned about a war starting. They felt they should go visit their grandparents in Japan. The war broke out and he was stuck there until 1947. He had difficulty learning the language and maintaining a level of education to get into high school. The first exposure of the atomic bomb took place in Hiroshima [Annotator's Note: Hiroshima, Japan]. Nakagawa was going to school in Hiroshima. The city had never been bombed before. They would see planes pass by them. On 6 August [Annotator's Note: 6 August 1945], at 8:15 in the morning, he had the experience of being in the midst of an atomic bomb. It was a normal day and he went on his way to school. He got to the factory where the students worked making military equipment. He did not know what they were making. It was a clear day and an air raid [Annotator's Note: air raid siren] came on. There was only one B-29 [Annotator's Note: Boeing B-29 Superfortress very heavy bomber] in the air, so the warning stopped. Everyone came out of the shelters. He went inside the factory and the students were outside looking at a parachute coming out of the sky. Next there was a flash and it got very black and dusty. It was like going to hell. When it all settled, he was completely lost and did not know what was happening. He got out of the building and noticed he had blood all over his clothes. It felt like an instant, but it also felt so long. He saw his student friends and he could not recognize them because they were black. It was complete chaos and it looked like the earth was crumbling.
[Annotator's Note: Ittsei Nakagawa was in a factory in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb exploded over the city on 6 August 1945.] Everybody was wondering what was going on. It was so chaotic. They decided to head for home. There were no leaders, no instructions, nothing. Everyone went their own way because they thought it was the end of the world. It was pitch dark and black and moisture was coming down. There had been no clouds before the blast. There were no streetcars and it was almost impossible for Nakagawa to find his way. Everything was burning. It was hell. It was so hot. He remembers having a cloth hood, a bokuzuki [Annotator's Note: the word specifically means compulsory air raid helmet but his sounds different], that was homemade for protection, but it was too hot to wear. He thought it was a natural disaster. People were coming towards him and going the other direction. He could not really tell where he was. He did wear his hood, but he had to wet it to continue. He found a reservoir and it was filled with people who had jumped in. It was not a big reservoir. It was meant for putting out fires. There was one on every block. He did not realize until later on, how protective this hood was. He kept the hood open enough to just be able to see. Nobody knew it was a bomb yet. He went through the maze of destruction and came across the Aioi bridge, which was where the center of the bomb actually landed [Annotator's Note: the bridge was the aiming point for the bomb]. There was a museum there that had a dome [Annotator's Note: originally Product Exhibition Hall, 1915; now Genbaku Dome, or Hiroshima Peace Memorial]. It still stands today. Going through the area, people were just coming at him and he thought he was going in the wrong direction. They were trying to get away from where the bomb had hit. He had to go that way to go home. He normally would have caught a streetcar and train. The Hiroshima station was gone. He thought the whole world was disappearing. Only a few people in the United States, like Oppenheimer [Annotator's Note: J. Robert Oppenheimer, American physicist], knew what it was. He did not find any injury on him. It is difficult to know how to talk about this because he did not know what was happening but later he knows what he must have gone through. It was unbelievable that he came out of there without a scratch. His jacket had a burn on the left side. He had a burned retina from the flash. He walked for miles and there was finally a train at a station that he used to take to work. There was hardly anybody there. He was one of only two uninjured in his entire class.
[Annotator's Note: Ittsei Nakagawa was in a factory in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb exploded above the city on 6 August 1945.] He was in the right place to be to escape the radiation. Only after many months, did he find out what this atomic bomb was. He thought it was a natural disaster at first. He was only 15 years old and he was not going to school because teenagers were the only ones left to produce for the war. He only knew he did what he was told. He does not know what they were making but there were many lathes there. The whole structure came down but the machinery held. He was looking for some shoes he had come there for. That is how he escaped the gamma ray. The equipment around him shielded him from the blast and the gamma rays. He was lucky.
[Annotator's Note: Ittsei Nakagawa was in a factory in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb exploded over the city on 6 August 1945.] His mother had made a bokuzuki [Annotator's Note: the word specifically means compulsory air raid helmet but his sounds different], a cloth that every person had in case of bomb blasts. He was wearing it [Annotator's Note: he forgets the question]. He was looking for some shoes when the blast took place. He was protected by the machinery around him. He does not remember when he put his hood on. It was all instinct. He tried to find a way out. He does not know how he did it, but there must have been an opening in the roof. He was covered with blood. He did not know he had saved a person until around 1987 when he applied to be an atomic survivor. To get the certificate, he need three witnesses to verify he was there. During the process, a person at the clinic [Annotator's Note: he loses his train of thought and a woman off camera picks up the story for him]. A Councilman told him that Nakagawa had helped him get out of the collapsed building. You do not know what happened until somebody else tells you. He had gotten others out as well. He was the only one uninjured and was only three quarters of a mile from the center of the bomb. He was told he lost his hair, but he does not remember that.
[Annotator's Note: Ittsei Nakagawa was in a factory in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb exploded over the city on 6 August 1945.] Nakagawa was going in the opposite direction of most of the people when he was trying to make it home. There was a train at the third station he came to. People could not believe he was being normal. When he got home, they could not believe it either and asked him why he was there. Nobody knew what happened. His home was about ten miles away and the roof structure was slightly moved. They were all puzzled. His father had gone to look for him. He said everyone looked the same because they were all burnt. They were unrecognizable. August is a warm time in Japan and some people barely wore clothes anyway. You do not die instantly from burns. They were swelling and their skin was falling off. He thinks wearing a hood his mother had made helped him. He soaked it in some water because it was so hot. The water reservoirs were filled with people. Small rivers go through Hiroshima and people went there but the water was salty, brackish. It is difficult to describe. Most of the people he saw had nothing on. He does not even talk about these things unless he has to. Any small road was filled with crawling people, dead people, dead animals. The saddest thing to see were the crying babies. The mothers were too injured to care for them. The parents were burnt but the children were not. There were no men at the time really. It was hell. Somehow his cover protected him, but it was unplanned.
[Annotator's Note: Ittsei Nakagawa was in a factory in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb exploded over the city on 6 August 1945.] It is a hard story to tell. What he saw then, and what he thought about later, was that he could have done so much more. You cannot have another like this. There are 65,000 atomic bombs still available. Somebody is going to use one. This could be a real thing. He does not tell these things. In Japan, they know each other very well. It is a tight knit environment and it is many generations. You do not move from one place to another. In his case, his grandparents came to the United States and then went back. Even in those days, the Mexican people worked with the Japanese people because they are all laborers. His father knew how to speak Spanish. When he returned to Japan, everyone knew they were from America. His family was mostly self taught. Nakagawa had to go to school in a Temple to learn Japanese. He had an accent. His parents were well-respected, but he was picked on due to being Japanese-American. He was small too. He did not have many friends. Japan was fighting all over the Asian world. It was very difficult for him. When you are 15, you do what you have to do. As a kid, he got pushed around and at one time, they started a fire in their house. They were concerned that they were against Japan. His father knew Japan could not win a war against America. His father was respected in the community but eventually was disliked as well for being Americanized. In many ways they were.
[Annotator's Note: Ittsei Nakagawa was in a factory in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb exploded over the city on 6 August 1945.] Nakagawa feels he and his family were Americanized without even knowing it, having been born in the United States. He said to himself that he had to get back to the United States. He was 15. There was nothing left. If there was to be fighting, it would be with bamboo sticks and they were training to do that. He started looking for an opportunity. They tried to go back to school but the yard was covered with dead bodies. Every place was practically a crematorium. He left and tried to find a job. American soldiers were already in Japan and he knew English well enough to be an interpreter. He went to Kure, a naval place in Hiroshima [Annotator's Note: Kure Naval Arsenal] where the Yamato [Annotator's Note: Japanese super battleship] was built. The US X Corps and 42nd Division [Annotator's Note: 42nd Infantry Division] were stationed there. The first man he met was an American military news bureau person. He was very kind and gave him a job. Nakagawa became a sort of clerk with officers. Japan was split in two, America above Hiroshima and Australia and Britain below. He went with the 42nd to Yokohama [Annotator's Note: Yokohama, Japan]. He had no option. He wanted to get back and get his citizenship. He did get help and made the proper application. He started in 1945 and he got it in 1947. Because his name was spelled wrong, it took a long time for him to verify who he was. He got it for his brother as well. They finally made the trip. They used Marine Links to get back. He had a first class hammock. He made it back in April 1947.
Ittsei Nakagawa never wanted to talk about it [Annotator's Note: surviving the atomic bomb detonation over Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945]. Not too many people have been in the center of an atomic bomb. He had to step on people to get home. Those living wanted water. All he could hear was people calling for water and babies crying. He had blood on his clothes but no injuries. He wanted to do something, but he would have died. He does not normally want to talk about it. He was selfish enough to use the cloth that he had for protection. He remembers finding a place where there were no people. It is not an easy story to tell. He sees so many things in his mind that he does not know what is important or not. He knows he will have a nightmare after telling this. He did not see the mushroom cloud. You do not see it. It is all black and all heat. He is only telling one little side of it. His concern is what is going to happen now. Who was wrong and who was right? It was right to end the war early, but it was not right to kill the innocent people; civilians, kids. He never saw a leaflet and nobody he has talked to, saw any warning. Why did he survive? That makes him think. Who is going to start the next one? There is no religion that will solve this problem. What he sees today is really scary.

If you contact us before your implant fails, we can work with the manufacturer's legal counsel to establish a test protocol to determine why the device failed. More often than not in cases involving the recalled, HiRes90k implant, the root cause of the device failure is due to the device failing to achieve a hermetic seal, which allows moisture from the inner ear to penetrate the CI and short-circuit the diodes which power the unit.

Errr... well, I guess less than a week of June has gone by, so I'm still okay, right? This month was an absolute whirlwind, so it makes sense that it took me a few extra days to get this up. May has probably been my favorite of the year so far, from the adventures we went on to the weather in Charleston, I'm just in heaven!
At the beginning of the month, I revealed our One Room Challenge space. This screen porch has continued to be our favorite, and as I sit here typing, the living room door is open to the space outside where our cats are loving life. Most miraculous, in my opinion, has been my ability to keep all of those plants alive!
Our next home project has been our golf cart. As you may remember, we bought ourselves a golf cart last fall (lol to the third "leather anniversary"), and we had our share of fun in the South Carolina snow. We decided to buy a lift kit, and Mike completed the project with massive wheels a couple weeks ago. Yeah, it's awesome and goes even faster now!
Mike's dad visited us mid-month, and not only did we go to Beaufort and Hilton Head Island, we also went to some of our favorite breweries (Westbrook, Freehouse, and the Fermentory) AND a beef jerky-off. OMG all-you-can-eat jerky. I was in heaven! Plus, it was at Lewis Barbecue, some of my favorite bbq in town!
We played in a charity kickball tournament this month (in addition to our 3 weekly games) and came in 4th! Such a fun afternoon for a great cause.
One of our closest friends also hosted her annual Halfway to Halloween party. We group costumed together as Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf, and Grandma.
And, of course, our Memorial Day trip this year was to the Smoky Mountains where we hiked up 6500 feet! Seriously, I want to do more hiking now! Not only was it an awesome hike, but we became so much closer with our friends and have memories we definitely won't forget!
We have plans to screen in our porch and I'm so excited about that!
