Upon the heath, beneath the sky

I stood and gazed upon the scene

The fields of green and flowers nigh

And all the beauty that was seen

The gentle breeze that kissed my face

And whispered secrets in my ear

Of love and grace, of time and place

And all that I hold dear

My heart was filled with sweet desire

For one who was not by my side

A burning fire, a true admirer

Whom I'd love till end of tide

I closed my eyes and whispered low

The name of her who held my heart

For in her glow, my love would grow

And ne'er from me would depart

So here I stand, upon the heath

And dream of love's sweet ecstasy

For in her wreath, my soul finds peace

And all the world is but a dream to me

PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS ANALTERNATIVE WAY.  

Cancer Update from JohnsHopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer     cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have   multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients   that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after     treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the   cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable   size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a     person's lifetime. 3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer     cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and   forming tumors. 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has   nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,   to environmental, food and lifestyle factors. 5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing    diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune    system. 6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing   cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells   in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can     cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. 7. Radiation while destroying cancer cellsalso burns, scars     and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. 8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often   reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of   chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor   destruction. 9. When the body has too much toxic burden from   chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either   compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb   to various kinds of infections and complications. 10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to     mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.     Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other     sites. 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer     cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. *CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off   one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar   substitutes likeNutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made   with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute    would be Manuka honey (a New Zealand Honey - can be found at some health food stores or online {Amazon.com}) or molasses, but only in very small    amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in   color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the   gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting   off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer   cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based   diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken   rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock   antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all   harmful, especially to people with cancer.. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole   grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into   an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked   food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live   enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to   cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance   growth of healthy cells.. To obtain live enzymes for building   healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most   vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw   vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at   temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high   caffeine Green tea is a better alternative e and has cancer   fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or   filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap   water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of     digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the     intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic     buildup. 13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By     refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes     to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the     body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 14. Some supplements build up the immune system     (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,     EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy     cancer cells.  Other supplements like vitamin E are known     to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's     normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or     unneeded cells. 15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.     A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior    be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put    the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to    have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy    life. 16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated     environment. Exercising daily, anddeep breathing help to     get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen       therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer     cells. 1. No plastic containers in microwave. 2. No water bottles in freezer. 3. No plastic wrap in microwave. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed ArmyMedical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper.  The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out thatplastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.  As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

"How big is Smaug" I did not write this I think it came from comments of an Economist article

How big is Smaug? I believe we should get our information about Smaug straight from the dragon’s mouth, so to speak, by studying The Hobbit. I read the Hobbit when I was thirteen in a library book which had a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s illustration “A Conversation with Smaug”. I did what seemed obvious and measured Smaug’s proportions in the picture, hoping to find some mention of the size of any body part. I noticed that Smaug seemed at least forty times as long as his width across his nostrils, and that his nostrils were too big to fit into the five foot high secret passage when he tried to burn Bilbo. So I calculated that Smaug must be at least five feet across the nostrils and at least 200 feet long. And I still think that makes sense as an approximate minimum length for Smaug. Smaug should have been as large and strong as a giant movie monster h when he killed the warriors of Erebor and Dale and “laid low their towers and houses frail” According to Thorin, the wind from Smaug’s winds make the pine trees on the mountain creak like crazy while Smaug was still flying in “The first we heard of it was a noise like a hurricane coming from the North, and the pine-trees on the Mountain creaking and cracking in the wind.” If someone calculates that Smaug’s wings must have had an area of several square miles to produce so much wind, I can believe that, so long as he explains how Smaug could fit into the corridors and halls of Erebor. When Gandalf showed the map of the secret door Thorin doubted the door was still secret, and Gandalf replied: “He may – but he can’t have used it for years and years.” “Why?” “Because it is too small. ‘Five feet high the door and three may walk abreast’ say the runes, but Smaug could not creep into a hole that size, not even when he was a young dragon, certainly not after devouring so many of the dwarves and men of Dale.” And Smaug himself later told Bilbo that: “I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong.” Smaug clearly claimed to be much stronger, and maybe much longer, than he was when he attacked Erebor and Dale. I printed a copy of Tolkien’s picture “Conversation with Smaug” which can be found at websites like : http://www.museumsyndicate.com/item.php?item=34463, and measured his snout as about five millimeters wide and his head at the eyes, ears and jaw hinges as about ten millimeters wide. The widest part of Smaug’s torso seems twenty millimeters wide. Measuring short straight lengths along the curves his body seems about 220 or 235 millimeters long. When they found and opened the secret door it was: “A door five feet high and three wide.” The door is probably narrower than the secret passage. At the bottom: “…you can picture him coming to the end of the tunnel, an opening much the same size and shape as the door above.” Thus the bottom exit of the tunnel should be about five feet high and three wide, with a diagonal measurement of about 5.83095 feet. If the average dwarf was about 1.5 to 2 feet wide, and they needed about 0.5 feet between each other and the walls to walk or run, three dwarves would need a corridor about 6 to 8 feet wide, and four dwarves would need a corridor about 6.5 to 10 feet wide. Thus the secret passage should have been about 6 to 8.5 feet wide and five to six feet high, with a diagonal of 8.2 to 10.4045 feet. Smaug was at the bottom: “There he lay, a vast red-golden dragon,..” “…his huge coiled tail…”. When Smaug discovered a cup was missing from his hoard: “He thrust his head in vain at the little hole,…” The “little hole” to Smaug was a five foot by three foot doorway. This implies that Smaug could not fit even the front of his snout into a five by three foot doorway. So Smaug would be at least three feet across his nostrils, or at least five feet if he twisted his head 90 degrees to try to fit it in. Since Smaug should be about 44 to 47 times as long as the width of his snout at the nostrils, Smaug should be at least 132 to 141 feet long, or at least 220 to 235 feet long if he turned his head to try to fit it in the door. Bilbo barely escaped talking to Smaug the second time he went down the passage: “…for the dragon spouted terrific flames after him, and fast though he sped up the slope, he had not gone nearly far enough to be comfortable before the ghastly head of Smaug was trust against the opening behind. Luckily the whole head and jaws could not squeeze in, but the nostrils sent forth fire and vapour to pursue him, and he was nearly overcome, and stumbled blindly on in great pain and fear.” This indicates that Smaug just barely managed to squeeze his nostrils into the opening this time, but not his whole head and jaws. Smaug’s head looks rather flat and the rear part is about twice as wide as the snout at the nostrils. If Smaug held his head normally when he thrust his nostrils through the five by three foot opening, the back of his head would be between about three to six feet wide and his snout at the nostrils would be between about one and half to three feet wide. If Smaug twisted his neck and 90 degrees to stick his nostrils through the doorway, the back of his head would be about five to ten feet wide and his snout at the nostrils would be about two and a half to five feet wide. If Smaug twisted his neck to make the width of his head diagonal to fit in the diagonal part of the opening when he thrust his nostrils through the opening, the back of his head would be between about 5.83095 to 11.6619 feet wide and his snout at the nostrils would be between about 2.915425 to 5.83095 feet wide. This makes Smaug 132 to 274.4565 feet long! But maybe when Bilbo ran up the tunnel after his conversation with Smaug, the dragon smashed the wall at the end of the passage to make a bigger opening to stick his nostrils in. Tolkien might have omitted to mention that. Assuming that the tunnel was six and one half to eight and one half feet wide and five to six feet high, the diagonal would be between 8.2 feet and 10.4043 feet. So if Smaug could squeeze his nostrils but not his entire head into that enlarged opening, the widest part of his head would be about 8 to 20 feet wide and his snout at the nostrils would be about 4 to 10 feet wide, making Smaug’s total length about 176 to 470 feet! Comparing Smaug with other objects in the picture “Conversation with Smaug” makes him 12.518 to 40.869 feet long, 48.4 to 51.7 feet long, 129.8 to 164.5 feet long, or 110 to 312.55 feet long. I believe that “Conversation with Smaug” is probably accurate about Smaug’s proportions, so we can calculate his size from the size of his snout compared to the passageway, but the lack of perspective makes it useless to compare Smaug to other object in the picture. After Bilbo’s narrow escape from Smaug, he and the dwarves hid in the upper part of the hidden tunnel. And then: “They had hardly gone any distance down the tunnel when a blow smote the side of the Mountain like the crash of battering-rams made of forest oaks and swung by giants. The rock boomed, the walls cracked and stones fell from the roof on their heads. What would have happened if the door had still been open I don’t like to think. They fled further down the tunnel glad to be still alive, while behind them outside they heard the roar and rumble of Smaug’s fury. He was breaking rocks to pieces, smashing wall and cliff with the lashings of his huge tail, till their little lofty camping round, the scorched grass, the thrush’s stone, the snail-covered walls, the narrow ledge, and all disappeared in a jumble of smithereens, and an avalanche of splinter stones fell over the cliff into the valley below.” That is tremendous physical (and possibly magical?) power! If somebody calculates that Smaug must have been five hundred to a thousand feet long, with an equal wingspan, to have the strength to smash the mountainside, I could accept it if he finds some way for my upper length limits of of 274 or 470 feet to no longer be valid. Then Smaug attacked Lake Town. “A sweep of his tail and the roof of the Great House crumbled and smashed down. Flames unquenchable sprang high into the night. Another swoop and another, and another house and then another sprang afire and fell: and still no arrow hindered Smaug or hurt him more than a fly from the mashes.” When Smaug is shot after killing about a quarter of the population of Lake Town: “Full on the town he fell. His last throes splintered it to sparks and gledes. The lake roared in.” The dragon smashed all of Lake Town when he fell upon it: “they began the planning of a new town, designed more fair and large even than before, but not in the same place. They removed northward higher up the shore, for ever after they had a dread of the water where the dragon lay. He would never again return to his golden bed, but was stretched cold as stone, twisted upon the floor of the shallows. There for ages his huge bones could be seen in calm weather amid the ruined piles of the old town.” Smaug’s bones apparently were as large as those of a large dinosaur or great whale. My estimates indicate that if the deck of Lake Town was square it should have been hundreds or thousands of feet on each side. Even the smallest possible Lake Town requires a gigantic Smaug. I believe that Benedict Cumberbatch talked about portraying a snake as big as two Empire state buildings. And in another website someone wrote that we should not imagine that Smaug is a large as a jumbo jet. There is some evidence that Smaug could be large enough to make a jumbo jet seem like a jumbo shrimp!

She asked him if she was pretty, he said no. She asked him if she was fat, he said yes of course. She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever, he said no She asked him if he would cry if she walked away, he said no. she had finally had enough and she begun to walk away... Then he grabbed her by the hand and said: Your not pretty, you beautiful The only thing fat or big about you is your heart. I don't want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever And baby, I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die.

In Memory of Jeffery Jason Lee

Jeffrey Jason Lee, of Cerritos, California died Sunday, November 20, 2011 at the Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was taken after collapsing at the finish line of the Philadelphia Marathon.  Born in Fountain Valley, California, February 23, 1990, to Howard and May Lee, Jeffrey had a thirst for knowledge from his earliest years, as well as a passion for sharing what he knew. He excelled academically, in mathematics in particular, having learned the multiplication tables at the age of four after overhearing his brother Matthew recite them to himself and puzzling out how they worked - proving that he knew them through rigorous questioning from his brother's friends when he and his mom came to pick Matthew up one day. From here, his interests in academics flourished, along with his passion for putting others before himself, as he would often spend his recesses and lunch breaks in the classroom, tutoring older students who were struggling in math - something which continued through most of elementary school. In this, he always strove to be both a gentleman and a scholar from Joe A Gonsalves Elementary School to the hallowed halls of Whitney High and beyond. At Whitney, his flair for the unconventional blossomed, twining with his academic excellence and his dedication to service as he joined a number of organizations at community: Chemistry Club (A club he founded, teaching science to elementary school students through hands-on demonstrations), Key Club, CSF International, Aspects (the school newspaper), Robotics (where he was club mascot & robot designer), SpaceSet (a club which competed in the International Space Settlement Design Competition), and Upward Basketball Camp (serving as a coach/mentor for kids in the community). He loved them all, dedicating himself to these things, and handling his studies with aplomb (earning the rank of Valedictorian), yet still finding time for his personal pursuits For in addition to helping others and learning more, Jeffrey always enjoyed challenging himself, whether that meant participating in sports like basketball, water polo, or chess (which he learned from watching his brother challenge his father to matches - quickly honing his skills to the point that he could beat both with ease), going before an audience in speech contests like the American Legion Oratorical (State Finalist, 2007-2008) or programs like Assemblymember Tony Mendoza's Young Legislators' Program, engaging in recreational activities like hiking or rock climbing, or enjoying the simple pleasures of artistic pursuits like filmmaking, novel writing, piano, and photography in which he could best express his vivid imagination. A light and an inspiration due to his dedication to excellence and his unwavering faith, Jeffrey created a warm, welcoming community wherever he went in his hometown - just as he did at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was part of the Healthcare Management coordinated dual-degree program with the Wharton School of the Business and the School of Nursing. There, Jeffrey served as a board member of the Residential Advisory Board and numerous student fellowship groups, as well as an anatomy teaching assistant and a co-founder of Alpha Iota Gamma, the professional healthcare fraternity. He went above and beyond the requirements set for an undergraduate, even publishing a paper in the journal Synapse regarding the constitutionality of the Affordable Healthcare Act. Yet in spite of his busy life, he never stopped smiling, never stopped being willing to lend a hand to any in need. To those who knew him, he was a friend, a comforter, a legendary mentor, a brother in Christ, an exemplary student. To those who knew him, he was one of the kindest people to ever walk the campus of UPenn, with his smile lifting the spirits of those who saw it. To those who knew him, he was completely focused, completely present in any situation, no matter how busy he was, no matter what else he had to deal with. In the words of one of his classmates: "He really felt how short life is. He really understood. He was a really good person to talk to when we were going through that hard time. He was like a light in the room." Jeffrey was slated to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2012, with degrees in both Business and Nursing, after which he intended to move to Seattle to start working at Microsoft as a Financial Analyst.  He is survived by his parents, Howard and May Lee; his brother Matthew; his Uncle Ed, Aunt Helena, and cousins Leanna, Randy, Marisa, and Jonathan; his Uncle Henry Chiu and Aunt Elaine; his Uncle Michael Tu, Aunt Jamella, and cousins Michelle, Vicky, and Victoria; Uncle Edwin Quang, Aunt Samantha, and cousin Timothy; Uncle Lesley Quang and family; Uncle Tommy Quang and family; Aunt Annie Quang Hong and family; and his friends and colleagues at Whitney High and the University of Pennsylvania. Visitation will be Friday, Dec. 9, 2011, between 2 pm and 8 pm at Rose Hills Funeral Home, and the funeral service will be held at 11 am December 10, 2011 at SkyRose Chapel at Rose Hills Memorial Park. 

I'll miss you so much, Jeff. I'm sorry I can't see you off, but please know that you'll be in my thoughts. ♥
