One for Sharing

Someone sent me this, and I thought it was good enough to share.
The music is the Theme from Paganini written by Rachmaninoff in his Piano Concerto # 2.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, performed by Roger Williams and entitled "Somewhere in Time" from the movie.

Could CFL be Unhealthy?

We're told every bulb we switch will help save energy and the planet, but could the new compact fluorescent light bulbs be damaging our skin?

Here is a quote taken from a recent study:
"New research by the Health Protection Agency has shown that some energy saving compact fluorescent lights can emit ultraviolet radiation at levels that, under certain conditions of use, can result in exposures higher than guideline levels."

The entire article can be read HERE

This is ironic that we (the inhabitants of the planet) created this environmental mess and our solution is this great invention to save the planet, by endangering ourselves.

I close with this quote:
"People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that, once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives, it will be too late to prevent much larger, potentially catastrophic changes" ~ Elizabeth Kolber

Yoga is wonderful

5 valid reasons to stop using cell phones
Posted Nov 04 2008, 06:55 PM by Karen Datko Rating: Filed under: spending, savings, Karen Datko, health care
David G. Mitchell knows he's not preaching to the choir when he strongly recommends that most people stop using cell phones. He observes that "I will not use a cell phone and you probably cannot be separated from yours."

Yet, he makes a compelling argument in a pithy post at Saving Advice that provides five reasons to give up cell phones and save money.

Health is one of his concerns.

Research hasn't confirmed a direct link between long-term cell phone use and cancer, possibly because cell phones have been widely used for a relatively short time. But some studies suggest a connection. As a result, the director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute cautioned employees to limit their use.

Among the things we do know for sure:

Chatting on the phone while driving contributes to vehicle crashes. That's why some states have wised up and banned use of handheld phones behind the wheel.

Cell phones have opportunity costs because they distract you from the task at hand, whether you're meeting a client or, we'll add, out on a date. David writes, "Unless you are a doctor waiting to perform crucial surgery or you have some significant role in national security, chances are you are just not important enough to need to be available all the time."

(He also says, "If you cannot go to a grocery store and decide what to buy when you get to the produce aisle, you should not be grocery shopping.")

Cell phone accessories are expensive, not to mention the cost of texting, Internet access, etc.

We don't need to be constantly accessible. We got along pretty well when all we had were land lines.

An exception, he says, is having a prepaid cell phone in case of true emergencies -- when you're driving in the middle of nowhere or your teens are out and about at night.

"Give up the cell phone and put that money back in your pocket and you will really find that no one had anything to say to you anyway," he writes.

Reasonable comments are always welcomed.

I will hold on to the memories

Quotation (paraphrased from Robert Frost)
"The woods are lovely, dark and deep. He has kept his promises and earned his sleep"

Byron Lee dies in hospital

Go-Jamaica

To his family and friends, I wish them God's Blessings.

I will remember and hold on to the memories and joy that he gave to a generation of Jamaicans, like myself.

He is gone to a better place.

RIP Byron

How much is Enough

HYPERBOLE
–noun Rhetoric.
1.
obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2.
an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”

Here is a quote from an article in the GLEANER

"This is not a part of the Jamaican culture, this is something that is alien, and now we are facing the threat of a number of our young women being snatched," Simpson Miller said, pointing to recent cases of women and children being killed.

I consider this to be hypocritical, patronizing and a political hyperbole.

When Sista P was in power, there were 1500 murders during that year, was that ENOUGH, or is she thinking that enough is a figure of 1700-2000. What did she do to curtail the ENOUGH of crime she is now talking about as if it is a new phenomenon.

Will someone explain to me what BS she is sprouting or what is in the water she drinks?

One thing I will give to Sista P ..... she will always appeal to the common demominator and blame others for her own demise.

Being Grateful

This is a picture of the Ottawa Civic Hospital, where I was "confined" for the past few weeks. I am on the mend, and at home now, however, I wanted to express some thoughts, which passed through my head during my forgettable stay in the hospital.
The people mentioned hereafter, may never read this blog, but my expressions are valid.
1. To the friends who sent me emails and phone calls, and kept me in their prayers ...... I am DEEPLY grateful.
2. To my immediate family, your love is unconditional and your prayers were heard and felt ...... blood is really thicker than water.
3. To my extended family (in-laws), who held paryer vigils and Novenas .... your support is overwhelming.
4. To my neighbours, who took time out of their busy day to visit me in the hospital and made sure that groceries were in the house and the refrigerator was stocked .... your actions are appreciated.
5. To my god children, (Jamaica and Toronto) who took time off work and fly to Ottawa to visit me in the hospital ... may God Bless you.

To all the above, the word "thanks" seem inadequate, however it is the only one that comes to mind.

THANKS!!!!
