A Dog Named Faith

This inspiring movie is a clip from the Oprah Winfrey TV show. Oprah is interviewing Laura Sieminskie, the daughter of Jude Stringfellow, the mother of the family who raised the dog Faith. Faith was born with two severely limited front legs. They were so short and stunted that it was impossible for her to walk on all fours. The dog’s mother was sitting on her, trying to suffocate the deformed dog, when brother Reuben found the dog and brought her to his mother. That began a long, 12–week period of working with Faith, encouraging her to survive and thrive, by learning how to walk on her two back legs. Faith’s strength and perseverance allowed her to overcome her tremendous handicap and serves as an inspiration to all who see her. This remarkable dog has also been featured on The Montel Williams Show, Animal Attractions Television, and Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Click the screen below to enjoy the clip of A Dog Named Faith.

Drug Companies Are Killing You Legally While Robbing You Blind

Drug Companies Are Killing You Legally While Robbing You Blind

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that drug overdoses killed 33,000 people in 2005, second only to car accidents in the category of accidental deaths. In 1999, the number was 20,000, and in 1990, 10,000 died.

First, and most obviously, you subject your body to another potentially toxic substance.

Second, and this is more on a subconscious level, it reinforces in your mind that your body cannot heal itself. No, you’re telling yourself each time you pop a pill, only these drugs can do that. Which, of course, is a lie. But the more you tell yourself that you need drugs to feel good, the more your body will follow suit. Soon you really will need those pills just to feel normal.

an estimated 106,000 hospitalized patients die each year from drugs that, by medical standards, are properly prescribed and properly administered

And 2 million more suffer serious side effects.

clipper's remarks: This is an amazing story of a man born with spastic cerebral palsy. Though disabled in many ways, he taught himself to create detailed pictures using one finger on a typewriter that resembled pencil or charcoal drawings. Another tribute to the indomitable human spirit.

Clip Source: www.fourwinds10.com

Paul Smith, the man with extraordinary talent was born in Philadelphia on September 21, 1921 with severe cerebral palsy.

Not only had Paul beaten the odds of a life with spastic cerebral palsy, a disability that impeded his speech & mobility but also taught himself to become a master artist as well as a terrific chess player even after being devoid of a formal education as a child.

'When typing, Paul used his left hand to steady his right one. Since he couldn't press two keys at the same time, he almost always locked the shift key down and made his pictures using the symbols at the top of the number keys. In other words, his pictures were based on these characters .... @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ .

As his mastery of the typewriter grew, he developed techniques to create shadings, colors, and textures that made his work resemble pencil or charcoal drawings.'

This great man passed away on June 25, 2007

ClayPals, Handmade Clay Miniatures, by Alex

clipped by: thedoorway
clipper's remarks: If you're looking for a unique and/or inexpensive gift, look no further than Alex's ClayPals. They're miniature creatures made from clay and then baked for preservation. They're crafted by a creative and enterprising young girl named Alex, who began the business when she was 9 years old. Be sure to check out Alex's ClayPals.

Clip Source: www.claypals.net

Buy'em, Collect'em, Trade'em!

ClayPals^SM began a few years ago when my daughter, Alex, started creating miniatures out of clay as a hobby. Most figures were less than an inch in size but had remarkable details: a fire-breathing dragon, a penguin listening to an MP3 player, or a dog holding a bone.

As she developed her own techniques, she began to experiment more and started creating playful figures such as an earth worm (a worm crawling through a globe), a fire ant (an ant wearing a fire hat), or a hot dog (a Daschund in a bun). When she started showing her ClayPals to her school friends, everyone wanted to buy them. Thus a small business was born!

ClayPals are less than an inch tall!

‘Air Tree’ Structures in Madrid produce Oxygen and Energy

clipped by: thedoorway
clipper's remarks: Solutions to our problems are available, but it takes willingness to try new things to find them.

Clip Source: www.inhabitat.com

The city of Madrid soon plans to add a striking new structure that will “climatically transform” its urban architecture. Designed by Urban Ecosystems, the Air Tree pavilion is to be built from recycled materials and will be 100% energy self-sufficient. Using photovoltaic cells, the Air Tree produces a substantial amount of energy, which is then sold back to the local electric companies, the profits being used for maintenance of the structure. The second byproduct is of course oxygen - hence the name ‘Air Tree’!

The surrounding environment near the air tree will be naturally conditioned, reducing the heat island effect found in most city centers. The air trees will be implemented city wide in the coming years.

Furthermore, the structure, made from lightweight recycled materials, can be easily disassembled and moved to another site when needed.

The trees will cool the surrounding environments and as a bonus generate clean electricity.

GM Files: GM Corn to Make Men Sterile Already a Reality

GM Files: GM Corn to Make Men Sterile Already a Reality

Genetically modified corn is used to create high fructose corn syrup, flavors, starches, flours, proteins, sugars and most of the other ingredients which make up our processed foods. The US refuses to allow the labeling of foods which contain genetically modified ingredients (like corn) to be labeled to indicate that fact so we are looking at the possibility of undeclared birth control “foods” rendering whole populations sterile. The US Government, starting with George Herbert Walker Bush, has adopted the policy that genetically modified foods are the same as unmodified ones. The sterility corn is therefore, under this policy, the same as natural corn.

If the US has its way, all such products will be acceptable for international trade without any labeling.

Veterans Disarmament Act to Bar Vets From Owning Guns

VETERANS DISARMAMENT ACT TO BAR VETS FROM OWNING GUNS

Hundreds of thousands of veterans -- from Vietnam through Operation Iraqi Freedom -- are at risk of being banned from buying firearms if legislation that is pending in Congress gets enacted.

How? The Veterans Disarmament Act -- which has already passed the House -- would place any veteran who has ever been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the federal gun ban list.

This is exactly what President Bill Clinton did over seven years ago when his administration illegitimately added some 83,000 veterans into the National Criminal Information System (NICS system) -- prohibiting them from purchasing firearms, simply because of afflictions like PTSD.

The proposed ban is actually broader. Anyone who is diagnosed as being a tiny danger to himself or others would have his gun rights taken away ... forever.
