Glad I saw Phantom of the Opera

Guest post written by Mary Carlson
Now I've been to NYC a few times before, mainly back when my husband would go there on business. But that was decades ago and I think that it's changed a whole lot since then. I used to actually go to at least Broadway show when we were there each time. Obviously though, none of those are running anymore. I have heard amazing things about Phantom of the Opera though and knew that I had to go and see it on this trip.
This was a family trip, so I tried to look up some things that all of us would want to go and see together. While I was researching that I saw the site http://hearingaids.miracle-ear.com/hearing-locations/wisconsin/k/kenosha/. I read through it and after that I decided to get some hearing aids, so I got fitted with them before our trip.
I'm so glad that I was wearing them when we saw the Phantom of the Opera. The music was so amazing and dramatic. I can't wait to go back again and see it again!

The Caribbean Airlines flight 523 from New York touched down on the rainy runway, slid through a chain-link fence and broke apart just short of a ravine but there were no immediate reports of death among the 163 people aboard, despite several dozen of injuries.

Old Sewing Machine Desk

This is an old Singer sewing machine desk which belonged to my great grandmother.  Mom, took the old Singer out of it and put her her sewing machine head inside.  Too bad because that old treadle machine still worked and would have been a collector's item worth the money. 

My Kitty

This is my new kitty which was given to me recently.  She's 6 years old and very active.  Today I heard her behind me meowing.  When I looked down, she had a bird in her mouth for me to see.  I tried to make her take it back outside, but she ran to the kitchen and dropped.  The bird was thrown off, but as I came in to shoo her out the door the bird took off flying.  She charged after it, but it got away.  I hope she doesn't decide to do that if, she catches a mouse.

American Airlines Jet Lands Safely

 The jet bound for Brazil made a U-turn and an emergency landing Sunday after one of its engines caught fire minutes after takeoff from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.  The Boeing 777’s landing gear also caught fire, though the plane managed to land safely on a runway about 8 p.m. after dumping its fuel in midair.
I'm wondering just where they think this fuel lands when it's being dumped in mid-air?  This is a bad problem to the structures as well as the vehicles traveling along the interstates and local roads.  Have they even considered what could happen if this fuel was ignited in some way while falling from the sky?  I'm not sure about the possibilities of this happening, because I don't know what it takes to ignite this fuel, but it still gives me an uneasy feeling.  What's your opinion about dropping fuel in mid-air?  Is it safe?

Amy Winehouse Found Dead

Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square shortly before 4:05 pm  today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.  Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.

Amy Winehouse Joins Unfortunate "27 Club"
In 2006, Winehouse skyrocketed with the hit "Rehab".  Prior to her recent tour, she entered rehab at the urging of her manager father.  But Winehouse pulled out of her European comeback tour following a disastrous opening performance in Serbia on June 18.
Condolences to her family, friends and co-workers.  It's always sad to see this type of thing happen.

Walter Reed Army Medical Center

The nation is bidding so long to a part of our history.  The Army's flagship hospital where privates to presidents have gone for care, is closing its doors after more than a century.  Rehabilitation for the wounded, including care for amputees, has been an important part of the mission since it opened.
The hospital was named to honor Maj. Walter Reed, an Army physician who treated troops and American Indians on the frontier. Among his medical achievements was life-saving research that proved that yellow fever was spread by mosquito. He died in 1902 at age 51 of complications related to appendicitis.  The original redbrick hospital had about 80 beds, but inpatient capacity grew by the thousands during the wars of the last century. Today, it treats about 775,000 outpatients annually, and has an inpatient load of about 150. It wasn't just service members and military retirees treated at the hospital over the decades, but their families, too. Countless babies were born at the hospital into the 1990s. 
Former and current patients and staff members will say goodbye at a ceremony Wednesday on the parade grounds in front of the main concrete and glass hospital complex. Most of the moving will occur in August. On Sept. 15, the Army hands over the campus to the new tenants: the State Department and the District of Columbia. The buildings on campus deemed national historic landmarks will be preserved; others probably will be torn down.
This is just another of our country's changing times and I'm sure it won't be long before we find other great historic buildings falling to this type of thing.

Cherokee Election Invalid

In an order issued Thursday, the court declared it was impossible to determine the winner of the election with mathematical certainty.  Uncertainty about the accuracy of the results and repeated flip-flopping in terms of the declared winner has eroded confidence among Cherokee voters.  Tribal councilman Bill John Baker has twice been declared winner of the controversial election, but so has his opponent, incumbent Principal Chief Chad Smith.  The official results of the most recent recount put Smith ahead by four votes Tuesday, but that's one fewer than in the unofficial results announced Sunday. 
The Cherokee Nation's Supreme Court has ruled that a June 25 election to determine the chief of Oklahoma's largest Indian tribe is invalid.  They must not have had those wonderful tabulating machines, that the big elections use.

Vegas Casino Issues Warning........

The Aria Resort & Casino has written to people who stayed there between June 21 and July 4 when tests showed elevated levels of Legionella bacteria in some of its guest rooms.  Aria has made adjustments to its water management plans to address this issue on an ongoing basis. The Southern Nevada Health District continues to work closely with the resort on its ongoing monitoring efforts.  Recent test results indicate that no detectable level of active Legionella bacteria was present in any of the locations tested. 
Symptoms::  Include  fever, chills, cough, fatigue and muscle aches.  
People with these symptoms are urged to see their doctor's for needed attention.

A Safe House......

Casey Anthony will be in a house protected by bodyguards for maybe weeks in case one of those who have threatened tries to make good on a death threat. Her Legal team received an emailed death threat with a doctored photo of the 25-year-old woman with a bullet hole through her forehead. The threat was forwarded to authorities. Ideally, security experts said, she should go to a safe house. She may have to arrange backup locations, in case the address is discovered.  The best thing she can do for her safety is keep a low profile, while attorneys will make appropriate decisions or prepare for her own security after that. 
I'm sure that the one's who are very unhappy with the outcome of this court ruling, will find a way to keep up with her.

TXU

Hey, TXU  !  I am posting a picture of a utility pole that's located here on my street.  If you look at the power box you will see how rusty it is.  How long have these power boxes been in place without needed repair?  It would be nice to see a shiny grey one up there instead of this rusty one.  Oh, I took a picture of the one on the next pole as well.  It is rusty and in the same condition.

Camping Equipment

Whether you are a birdwatcher or a traditional wildlife hunter, it is necessary to have the proper equipment for you excursions.  You always need a pair of good binoculars to help you see the wildlife from a distance.  Locating the subjects involved can be important when using your binoculars.  I know that investing in  ncstar binoculars   is a good idea and you get value for your money.  An online store can help you shop, compare and get the best prices on the market.  Going hunting without your binoculars is like going fishing without your rod.

Fracking

This method to extract oil and gas from the shale in the ground has law maker's trying to decide whether or not to ban it.  I live in the DFW area and in recent months noticed a decline in earth quakes down in the region where the oil companies have been "fracking".  The US government as well as state governments, are having environmental inspections to determine the dangers and effects on the surrounding areas of land.  Some governments have already placed a ban of such activities.  New York has given an okay to the process and that's causing plenty of worry.

Loose It....


There are too many fat as well as obese people in the US and that's been documented by the health officials.  Even a large amount of children are considered obese or overweight.  It's necessary to get their health adjusted to keep them from having problems later in life.  The use of apidexin can be monitored by your doctor to maintain a standard of weight loss for your health.  You can go online and shop for this product as well as read reviews others have made, after taking it.

Cottage Cheese

It  looks like Facebook has scored again.  The Isreali cottage cheese producers in Isreal have lowered their prices by 25 %.  There was such a out pour of strength on the network backing the Israli people against the producers of the product.  Simply clicking like and refraining from buying cottage cheese caused a big stir, and the Dairy Producers declared "no more."  This is a great break for the people who live and work there, while trying to raise their families.  Hopes are that this will cause even more changes in the future. 

Doctor's Office

All the many times in your life that you have been to a medical facility, you noticed this one thing most of all.   The  exam table  was not built for comfort and you managed to accept it because of the services your were getting.  The modern doctor offices are pristine and equipped with the newest furnishings available.  They want their clients to be as comfortable as possible and do their best to make the visit nice.  It's best to find good value for the equipment and shopping online adds convenience to a doctor's busy schedule.
