This home video of the 9/11 terror attack on the World Trade Center was filmed from a 36th floor apartment very close to the North Tower. It’s a view of 911 that you may not have seen and one that you should.
Speaking of ravens, remember The Raven Queen? I originally wrote about the necklace design HERE. It received a sex change when it was later published in 2007 Summer issue of Stringing Magazine.

A memory of the dead is always present in Yambol. Many doors are a memorial to those who have past away. At 40 days after death and every anniversary thereon - These memorials are refreshed and sometimes decorated with flowers on such occasions. A reminder in December that most old people in Bulgaria pass away in the cold winter months.

“A Pair of Shoes”
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, [...]
In a way it is ironic, how many researchers, psychology students, and cognitive neuroscientists worldwide will remember Mr. Henry G. Molaison and he did not remember a single person he met after his brain surgery, circa 1953.

In a throwback to a bygone era, the Edsel represented one of the larger design mistakes to come out of Detroit. The engineers and management at Ford just didn't get the reason behind why this car would not sell and be as wildly popular as the Thunderbird, but at the time, that was OK. The company would move on to the next and the Edsel would become just a punchline in jokes.
My 7 year old came home last week and told me he would be doing a project on the Sioux Indians as part of his school's Thanksgiving celebration.

I...(of course) did most of the work. He assisted by decided which pics he wanted on hi

The shooting rampage in the tiny seaside community of Aramoana on November 13, 1990 spelt the end of my rose tinted view of NZ as a "very safe place". This story broke big, it was massive news.

How unfortunate that we have a need for such a day, especially since “War is a racket It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.” So stated Major General Smedley D. Butler, USMC , the most decorated Marine
There is much for me to remember on Remembrance Day. My mother and my father were married in 1941 and he served with the Canadian Army for four years. He guarded prisoners of war that came to Canada, but he mentioned nothing about that or anything else about his service. He lost two brothers during the war, perhaps silence was a way of easing the pain.My mother passed away on Nov/10/2006

Today, October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day .Especially poignant for me, as Oct 15th, 2008 also marks yet another due date I never reached.

Another September 11 has come around and it is interesting to read all the different takes on how and how much this day in our nation's history should be remembered.I see a lot of the "We will never forget" and every time I see it I wonder for how many people that also means "We will never forgive".

Yesterday, as our nation was reminded of the vicious terrorist acts resulting in the tragic destruction of many innocent human lives seven short years ago, I had to reflect on the import of this particular day in the life of our nation. For here we were, seven years later, still remembering those who died at the hands of vile human beings, praying for their surviving family members and carrying on
It is a post to remember the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 attack. Looking back on September 11, 2001, hubby and I just came home from work when we saw on TV the replay of the said attack. Honestly, I don’t know much of the famous WTC’s Twin Towers but I was really shocked when I saw it collapsed. In such a high rise building, I thought of those people who are inside and asked why such an act?
This has got to be one of the best released footage of 9/11 in real-time ever. It was taken by a family watching the whole thing from their 36 story apartment a few blocks down from ground zero.Please take into consideration when viewing this video. It is a powerful reminder to all and shoud not be viewed by the lighthearted.
Today will mark the 7th Anniversary of 9/11. It is only fitting to remember the victims, especially Yeneneh Betru.

What a day. 9/11 is a day Americans will never forget, but it's also a day we don't particularly want to remember. Nobody wants to call upon sad or bad memories, painful times, days of trouble and scarring just for the sake of remembering Pain. But for some, a bad memory or sad memory is still a way to link with someone you loved; its still a way to stay in touch with someone you lost.Last night
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families who lost loved ones on 911.

Like all of you, I remember where I was that day. What I was doing when my husband called me at work. How hard it was to find out what was going on. How shocking and hard to absorb it was.

Fear for friends who worked in one of the towers a

When was the Mother of God born? We can't know for certain, of course, but for almost 15 centuries now, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been celebrated on September 8.
