RULE ONE 1 YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY You may love it or hate it, but it will be yours for the duration of your life on Earth. Life has its challenges – for each of us. They say you never get more tests than you can handle; however, each one of us has a different tolerance for stress. It takes incredible willpower to make the seemingly impossible happen when your options are extremely limited. WHERE THERE IS A WILL… THERE IS ALWAYS SOME WAY France To achieve great things we must live as if we were never going to die. Vauvenargues Jean-Dominique Bauby lived with his wife, Sylvie, his eleven-year-old son, Theophile, and his nine-year-old daughter Celeste, in a suburb of Paris. As the chief editor of Elle magazine, his life was demanding. Between his family, his job, his travels, his hobbies, and his sports, he barely had time to fit everything in. On a gray December day in 1995, Bauby was driving on an icy freeway when, without any warning, he suffered a massive stroke. He managed to stop his car and send Theophile for help before he collapsed in the backseat. Three weeks passed before he regained consciousness from his coma. Upon awakening, he found himself drastically different from the healthy, robust man who had been driving his car to Paris. The stroke had severely impacted him; he was unable to speak or move – his entire body was paralyzed. He noticed that he could control only the movement of his left eyelid. Fortunately, his brain and his memory were intact and functioning perfectly. Determined to find a way to communicate, Bauby set out to write an entire book by dictating with his left eyelid. Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Suit and the Butterfly), is a poetic and imaginative voyage through the mind of a man whose thoughts are trapped in a paralyzed body. He wrote, ―When the diving suit becomes less oppressive, the mind can flit about like a butterfly.‖ Bauby met with Claude Mendible for three-hour daily sessions in his hospital room as he blinked out his text, letter by letter, using a special alphabet designed for the blinking of one solitary eyelid. The 137-page text is the result of over 200,000 blinks. His keen literary mind turned him into a cosmic traveler, whirling through time and space. While nurses and aides exercised his inert limbs, childhood memories, fiction, and unfulfilled fantasies danced in his head. His legacy he leaves us with is: Nothing is impossible. Marilyn August Santa Barbara News-Press March 11, 1997 It is wonderful to have dreams and goals, yet things don’t always turn out as we had wished. The best-laid plans, the best formed goals, and the best-fashioned dreams are sometimes dashed by circumstances beyond our control. Perhaps there is a purpose for everything…even overcoming unfulfilled expectations. How does one deal with shattered dreams? What do you do when you cannot control what has happened? One thing we can control is our attitude. When tragedy, failure, and setbacks occur, we have the option of turning those liabilities into incomparable assets. Janine Sheperd’s story shows how she took a devastating tragedy and turned it into a triumph. LEARNING TO FLY Australia I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do something I can do. Helen Keller Janine Shepherd has long pursued uncommon dreams. While her hometown of Sydney is a place of surf and sun, Janine found her passion on snow. A champion athlete, she was determined to win her country‘s first medal in the unlikely sport of cross skiing. She said that she ―wanted to show the world that an Aussie could ski, could be the best at winter sports.‖ But that unusual dream ended during a training bike ride in 1986. Janine‘s bicycle was hit by a truck.

  • US Apple LP Releases
    Apple by the Numbers U.S. album releases From the collection of Andre Gardner of NY, NY SWBO‐101 The Beatles The Beatles Released: 22 Nov. 1968 (nicknamed "The White Album") In stark contrast to the cover to Sgt. Pepper's LHCB, the cover to this two record set was plain white, with writing only on the spine and in the upper right hand corner of the back cover (indicating that the album was in stereo). This was the first Beatles US album release which was not available in mono. The mono mix, available in the UK, Australia, and several other countries, sounds quite different from the stereo mix. The album title was embossed on the front cover. Inserts included a poster and four glossy pictures (one of each Beatle). The pictures were smaller in size than those issued with the UK album. A tissue paper separator was placed between the pictures and the record. Finally, as in every EMI country, the albums were numbered. In the USA, approximately 3,200,000 copies of the album were numbered. These albums were numbered at the different Capitol factories, and there are differences in the precise nature of the stamping used on the covers. Allegedly, twelve copies with east‐coast covers were made that number "A 0000001".

  • 2015 Interview.Pdf
    Interview from Spew, #87 February 2015 (originally published in abridged form) 2014’s triple disc behemoth Harshest Realm is the self-titled debut release of a musical project spearheaded by one Garret Kriston, a Chicago based musician whose formative years were split between formal studies and basement recording before toiling within the city’s DIY/punk scene. Now he has emerged with a sprawling document of what surely is a vast arsenal of artistic capabilities. Harshest Realm is now available via Coolatta Lounge CDs, along with fellow traveler Marshall Stacks’s latest jammers Lost in Sim City and the Snake Eyes/Point Blank single. ___________________________________________ Let’s start by giving the folks at home some background information. I’m particularly interested in learning how your relationship with music has developed over the years, so as to better understand where the music on the Harshest Realm album came from. No problem. I’m going to not hold back from rattling off influences and favorites, if that’s okay. Totally. The more the merrier. I was born at home on March 3rd, 1990 in Oak Park, down the street from Chicago’s west side, near Harlem between Harrison and Roosevelt. My earliest memory of music was seeing archival footage of The Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan Show, which made playing guitar in a band and singing original songs seem like the most appealing activity in existence. I might have been two going on three, and I don’t remember much else from then besides puking in my crib and seeing carrots in it (the puke.) My older brother was discovering “classic rock,” so there were rock related bootleg VHS tapes in the house that would get played over and over.

  • ABSTRACT WHAT YOU DON't KNOW by Kärstin K
    ABSTRACT WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW by Kärstin K. Painter This work confronts the wackiness of what it means to be human and to be a member of an American family while resisting an urge toward sentimentality. It explores our complicated natures by examining the way people relate to one another in those moments when their relationships are falling apart or barely being held together. Humor is used to bring attention to our strange, contrary natures and our often ridiculous behavior without moral judgment, allowing the reader to laugh both at and with the characters. The title of the collection is intended to echo the subject of every story: the consequences of what characters don’t know. What You Don’t Know A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts Department of English by Kärstin K.

  • Rememebering George 2014
    1 2 Remembering George 2014 9AM 3 The Beatles - Long Long Long - The Beatles (Harrison) Lead vocal: George George, Paul and Ringo ran through 67 takes of George’s “Long Long Long,” then titled “It’s Been A Long Long Long Time,” on October 7, 1968. John Lennon was not at any of the sessions for the song. Harrison provided the lead vocal, accompanying himself on his Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar, Paul played Hammond organ, and Ringo played drums. George has said the “you” he is referring to in the song is God, and admits that the chords were taken from Bob Dylan’s “Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands,” which is on Dylan’s 1966 album “Blonde On Blonde.” Chris Thomas: “There’s a sound near the end of the song which is a bottle of Blue Nun wine rattling away on the top of a Leslie speaker cabinet. It just happened. Paul hit a certain note and the bottle started vibrating. We thought it was so good that we set the mikes up and did it again. The Beatles always took advantage of accidents.” The rattling sound is best heard in the right channel of the stereo version. George Harrison – Hear Me Lord - All Things Must Pass ‘70 Again written during the “Let It Be” sessions, this was the perfect ending to a master class of George Harrison compositions before entering the Apple Jam sessions. 9.13 BREAK George, tell us about the first song you ever wrote… 4 (Hit it) The Beatles - Don’t Bother Me – With The Beatles (Harrison) Lead vocal: George George Harrison’s first recorded original song.
