Imagine not knowing what year the United States declared its independence, what country we fought to win our freedom from, or who was the General that led our troops to victory.
As hard as it is to believe, there are actually Americans that are that stupid, and Jay Leno caught up with some of them last week:
Do you wonder what your community does to be kind to each other? Help each other? Show Acts of Kindness? Look at what other communities are doing, and see how you can support yours in innovative and useful ways.

Remember the Heroes
I was looking around today and noticed that nobody had this song (studio version). So here is Sammy Hagar's epic 80's power ballad, Remember the Heroes.
LYRICS:
Stranger in a foreign land
Fearful cries surround him.
Returning home a wounded man
To find he's been forgotten, yeah.
Courage is the badge he wears
Blinded by obsession.
Wars are won by those who dare
The memory still haunts him.
Remember the heroes
Who fight for the right to choose.
Remember the heroes
We've all got a lot to lose.
A rebel to the naked eye
An undiscovered legend
Face the facts and don' t ask why.
It's something to believe in.
In the dark
Day and night.
Fight for wrong to prove what's right.
Remember the heroes
Who fight for the right to choose.
Remember the heroes
Just another life to use
Remember the heroes.
We've all got alot to lose.
-solo-
Remember the heroes.
Remember the heroes.
Remember the heroes.
Remember the heroes.
To take a life without a say
Demanded without reason.
To turn our backs and walk away
A faceless act of treason.
A father's son must carry on
The wound is only deepened.
Remember the heroes
Who fight for the right to choose.
Remember the heroes
It's just another life to use
Remember the heroes.
You know we've all got alot to lose.
Remember the heroes
Who's gonna fill their shoes?

Could I have this dance by Anne Murray
Some quotes worth thinking about -^^-
*Other men said they have seen angels,
But I have seen thee
And thou art enough.
~ by G. Moore ~
*What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
~ by Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
*I'd like to run away
From you,
But if you didn't come
And find me ...
I would die.
~ by Shirley Bassey ~
*Deep in my heart I'm concealing things that I'm longing to say. Scared to confess what I'm feeling - frightened you'll slip away.
from the movie Evita
*There are Many things that I would Like to say to you But I Don't know How.
from the song Wonderwall
*I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind,
that I put into words,
how wonderful life is,
now you're in the world.
-- Elton John, "Your Song"
*You KNOW you're in love when you're on YouTube looking for Love Sngs! lol
And... on the other side of the coin:-
*Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
*Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.
*The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love,
love somebody else.
*What do you do when the only person who can
make you stop crying is the
person who made you cry?
*Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Keith Urban - Song for dad
Lately I've been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself acting the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table
To the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys
When I'm ready to go
When I look in the mirror
He's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize
The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
There were times I thought he was bein'
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin' me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did
He always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have
The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
He's in my eyes
My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone
And I think I can't go on
I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright"
Everything's gonna be alright"
Yes it is
The older I get
The more I can see
That he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
Oh I hope I see
I hope everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
A little more of my father in me
I hope everyday I see in me
In me
In me
I hope everyday I see
A little more of my father in me

Matthew West - Save A Place For Me (Official Music Video)
Don't be mad if I cry
It just hurts so bad sometimes
'Cause everyday it's sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again
You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now
I'm dreaming of the day when I'm finally there with you
Save a place for me
Save a place for me
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
Save a place for me
Save some grace for me
I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon
I have asked the question why
But I guess the answer's for another time
So instead I'll pray with every tear
And be thankful for the time I had you here
And I wanna live my life just like you did
Make the most of my time just like you did
And I wanna make my home up in the sky
Just like you did
Oh, but until I get there
Until I get there

Johnny Carson - Jimmy Stewart - Beau Poem
He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.
When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or sit or stay,
He did things his way.
Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.
He bit lots of folks from day to day,
The delivery boy was his favorite prey.
The gas man wouldn't read our meter,
He said we owned a real man-eater.
He set the house on fire
But the story's long to tell.
Suffice it to say that he survived
And the house survived as well.
On the evening walks, and Gloria took him,
He was always first out the door.
The Old One and I brought up the rear
Because our bones were sore.
He would charge up the street with Mom hanging on,
What a beautiful pair they were!
And if it was still light and the tourists were out,
They created a bit of a stir.
But every once in a while, he would stop in his tracks
And with a frown on his face look around.
It was just to make sure that the Old One was there
And would follow him where he was bound.
We are early-to-bedders at our house--
I guess I'm the first to retire.
And as I'd leave the room he'd look at me
And get up from his place by the fire.
He knew where the tennis balls were upstairs,
And I'd give him one for a while.
He would push it under the bed with his nose
And I'd fish it out with a smile.
And before very long
He'd tire of the ball
And be asleep in his corner
In no time at all.
And there were nights when I'd feel him
Climb upon our bed
And lie between us, And I'd pat his head.
And there were nights when I'd feel this stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh
and I think I know the reason why.
He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.
And now he's dead.
And there are nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.
And there are nights when I think
I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.
Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.
~ Jimmy Stewart ~

Maria Mckee - Show me Heaven (Romantic version)
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey babe, come over here and shut down tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all ... See More
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way
Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please
Here I go
I'm shaking just like breeze
Hey babe I need your hand to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine
Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please
If you know what it's like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight
And let this be your...heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please

This was broadcast live to the troops in the Middle East, and Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf reportedly played a tape of this to his soldiers to fire them up and to assure them of the support of the American people.

Future Designer laptop - ROLLTOP //Diploma Thesis//
The device of the flexible display allows a new concept in notebook design growing out of the traditional bookformed laptop into unfurling and convolving portable computer.
By virtue of the OLED-Display technology and a multi touch screen the utility of a laptop computer with its weight of a mini-notebook and screen size of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor.
On top of everything else all computer utilities from power supply through the holding belt to an interactive pen are integrated in Rolltop. This is really an all-in-one gadget.

This is my tribute to the hilarious work the actors in these infomercials do.

Skinput: Appropriating the Body as an Input Surface (CHI 2010)
We present Skinput, a technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as a finger input surface. In particular, we resolve the location of finger taps on the arm and hand by analyzing mechanical vibrations that propagate through the body. We collect these signals using a novel array of sensors worn as an armband. This approach provides an always-available, naturally-portable, and on-body interactive surface. To illustrate the potential of our approach, we developed several proof-of-concept applications on top of our sensing and classification system.

BRIDGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS: SOULSHAPING
Jeff Brown takes us along a bridge of consciousness, a stepping out into the heart of our spiritual journey- from false path to true path, from misidentification to authenticity. Rather than pretending the crossing is easy, he takes us through some of the challenges on this perilous crossing- a holy patchwork of old patterns, obstacles, unrealistic expectations- as we work our way to the other side. This is the nature of Soulshaping- we excavate our callings and lessons, and then we get to work embodying them. It is the honoring of our callings and lessons that transforms the soul to the next stage on its movement toward wholeness. On the crossing, he introduces some of the new paradigm language he included in his book 'Soulshaping', including the terms 'soulular phone', 'truth aches', 'cell your soul', and 'enrealment'. A no-nonsense spiritual warrior's approach to path that is grounded, heartfelt and realistic.
JEFF BROWN'S HOMELESSNESS CHALLENGE: PART 1
A beautiful story is unfolding in Toronto, where a heartfelt homeless man named "SLIM" is selling Jeff Brown's new self-help book SOULSHAPING on the streets, thereby empowering Slim and bringing him back into the world of human relatedness where his gifts can again be utilized. These events inspired Jeff to introduce a Homelessness Challenge (see Part two), inviting all of us to help at least one homeless person in our area to come back into the world. The idea that we are all connected means nothing if we don't ground it in reality. God is IN the people... ALL ONE
