 June
24 is Fairy Day!
Fairy Day! The official
holiday for fairy collectors, believers, artisans, and the young
at heart. Celebrated around the world by those who love all
things fairy. Mark your calendars & join in the magic! Sunday
June 24th, 2007.
Fairy Day is a holiday sprung from the imagination of a fairy
artist and believer, Jessica Galbreth, and brought to life with
the help of many of her talented friends and fellow fairy
lovers. It's a day for all of us, fairy kissed or no, to honor
and delight in the fanciful, the mystical, the ethereal in our
lives. Throughout man’s history, Midsummers Day has been known
as a time to revel in the magic of nature. It is one of the few
"in between" times, when the veil is drawn thinnest and crossing
between the worlds is at it’s easiest.
This holiday is for everyone who believes in the magic of
fairytales. It is for those imaginative souls who dare to dream
impossible dreams. It is for the children of the world, wide
eyed and open to the magic that surrounds them. It is for adults
too, who long to capture a bit of that magic they remember from
their own childhood.
Enchant your life and visit the
Fairy Day site. You'll
find free fairy e-greeting cards, free fairy graphics, and links
to over two dozen fairy artists. Treat yourself!

Where Have All the
Leaders Gone
by
Lee Iacocca with Catherine Whitney
Had Enough?
Am I the only guy in this country
who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our
outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang
of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff,
we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't
even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car.
But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their
heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."
Stay the course? You've got
to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic.
I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!
You might think I'm getting
senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But
someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country
anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass
to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war
on a pack of lies. Congress responds to record deficits by
passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need
it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but
the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle
East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the
press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions.
That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled
across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?..

Water into Fuel?
Reported by Michael O'Mara
Retired TV station owner and
broadcast engineer, John Kanzius, wasn't looking for an answer to
the energy crisis.
He was looking for a cure for cancer.
Four years ago, inspiration struck in the middle of the night.
Kanzius decided to try using radio waves to kill the cancer cells.
His wife Marianne heard the noise and found her husband inventing a
radio frequency generator with her pie pans.
"I got up immediately, and thought he had lost it."
Here are the basics of John's idea:
Radio-waves will heat certain metals. Tiny bits of certain metal are
injected into a cancer patient.
Those nano-particals are attracted to the abnormalities of the
cancer cells and ignore the healthy cells...

Living Well: The
Path to Sustainability Starts in our Homes
by Bob Condor, Seattle P-I
The researchers and cultural
anthropologists at The Hartman Group, a Seattle-based consulting
and market-research firm, are no doubt ambitious. Their latest
study, about 150 pages, tackles the enormous question about
quality of life in America.
A thumbnail answer: We feel most
positive about the quality of life in our own households. We
feel sorta-kinda good about our local communities, state and
country. The big drop-off comes when people are asked about the
world.
People are worried about the
globe. Roughly 10 percent of Americans rate the quality of life
in the world as between 8 to 10 on a 10-point scale. In
contrast, more than half of us identify our household quality of
life as an 8, 9 or 10.
The brand-new report is focused on
sustainability, a somewhat elusive concept to U.S. consumers.
But sustainability and going "green" is on the minds of the
food, clothing and auto manufacturers and retailers who populate
the Hartman client list...

Blind Pilot Flies
from London to Sydney
The Associated Pressr
SYDNEY, Australia - A blind
British adventurer touched down in Sydney Monday to end an epic
13,500-mile flight by microlight aircraft from London.
Miles Hilton-Barber braved snowstorms, freezing temperatures and
torrential downpours during his 59-day journey under the
supervision of sighted co-pilot Richard Meredith-Hardy.
"It's the fulfillment of an amazing dream," Hilton-Barber, 58,
told reporters at Sydney's Bankstown airport. "I've wanted to be
a pilot since I was a kid. Now I'm totally blind and I've had
the privilege of flying more than halfway around the world."
Hilton-Barber, who lost his eyesight to a hereditary condition
about 20 years ago...
