![]() |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, begins this evening at sunset, ushering in the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot).
This Holiday celebration repeats around this same time every year:
http://nnhs65.com/10-03-05-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
http://nnhs65.com/09-22-06-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html

http://nnhs65.com/09-18-09-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
http://nnhs65.com/09-08-10-NNHS-Happy-Rosh-Hashanah.html
No doubt most of
us are
probably not personally observing this holiday, but we don't concern ourselves
with such trifling details such as that here. We try to celebrate everything together
as the one big happy family that we are.
So we extend all our best
wishes for all good things for all our friends and family!
Happy Rosh
Hashanah!

Aloha,
hello and hi y’all again,
I am writing to let you know that I will be playing at the 43rd annual ‘An Occasion for the Arts’ (AOFTA) in Colonial Williamsburg this coming Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, at 12:45 P.M. on the Henry Street Stage. There will be around 170 artists displaying their works, and there will be 4 stages where musicians will be providing good music. You can get details at the AOFTA website, www.aofta.org. Just in case someone might care, I plan to play a program of mostly Hawaiian slack key music: Song of the Islands; A medley of slack key songs, like Kealoha, Old Timers Hula, Kimo’s Slack Key, He Aloha No O Honolulu, and Keiki Slack Key; Morning Dew Hula Blues Ku’u Pua I Paoakalani Hukilau Song Beyond The Reef Harbor Lights Yellow Bird Bill’s Tune (my own slack key composition) Over The Rainbow Yes, since they played Bruddah Iz singing Over The Rainbow on ER, more people now associate that song with him and Hawaii than with Judy Garland and The Wizard of Oz. Signs of the times! So, why don’t you plan to spend a few hours shopping at the artists’ booths and then dropping by to listen for a few minutes. I would love to see you there. Aloha, Bill |

Health Trends":
The "Electronic Age": Are we better off now
than we were in the '50's? Technology wise, of course we are. However,
there are major concerns today involving EMF (electro magnetic fields)
and health issues. As grandparents, are we concerned enough to educate
our grandchildren on the proper use of electronic devices? Maybe we are
not as informed as we should be and need to be educated first. Let's
start now with one of the most popular devices ever invented. Read the
attached newsletter and make up your own mind as to whether you should
pass it along to your family. As Fox News says, "We Report, You Decide".
Alvin & Jean Mizelle "Health Educators" healthtrends@embarqmail.com |
“NNHS Class of ’54 – Health Trends” October, 2011 CELL PHONES Dr. Ronald B Herberman – Tumor Immunologist at the University of Pittsburg Cancer Institute. The signs that we are looking at a major public health problem are overwhelming. Swedish researchers were among the first to report a positive association between cell phone use and brain tumor risks. Will political lobbying cost you your health or possibly your life? Folk’s, please understand, there are No Agencies out there looking out for your health aside from the occasional scientist or physician who dares to rattle the status quo. Exposure to information-carrying radio waves and the electromagnetic radiation emitted from your cell phone are both hazardous to your health. Children should never use cell phones!
Scientists have found evidence linking brain cancer with cell phone use. 1 hour a day talking on a mobile phone increases the risk by 1/3 of developing a rare form of brain tumor. Most frequently, cancers were found on the side of the head where the user held the phone. The association was found with digital mobile phones, old style analog mobile phones and digital enhanced cordless phones. Example: Sen. Ted Kennedy’s giloma, a tumor critics have long associated with cell phone use. The UK, Belgium, France and Russia have introduced precautionary policies regarding cell phone use due to potential health risks. Q & A
Now for the first time through the use of thermal imaging, scientists can see the changes take place after just a 15 minute phone call. Three prominent neurosurgeons told CNN’s Larry King that they do not hold cell phones next to their ear. The cell phone is the New Electromagnetic Drug. There is very solid evidence that the number of brain tumors will increase to 1 million a year by 2015 if the causes are not addressed. This represents an impending health care crisis. There should be no doubt that you are being deceived about the safety of cell phones and WiFi, the same way the public was deceived about tobacco. The U.S. protects corporate interests above public health more than ever. What’s More Important – You’re Cell Phone or Your Brain? Brain cancer has now surpassed leukemia as the #1 cancer killer in children. Cell Phones have been called the biggest public health issue since tobacco. It is believed that Cell Phone use may be one of the primary causes of the autism epidemic. Keep Cell Phones away from babies, children and pregnant women now as the damage may start showing up in 10 years or more and by then, it will be too late Alvin & Jean Mizelle “Health Educators” |

09/27/11 - "Perception":
THE SITUATION The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. At 6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. At 10 minutes: A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception - forced their children to move on quickly. At 45 minutes: The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32. After 1 hour: He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music. This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. This experiment raised several questions: * In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? * If so, do we stop to appreciate it? * Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context? One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made . . ... How many other things are we missing as we rush through life? Enjoy life NOW .. it has an expiration date.
YOWZERS!
Thanks, Joan!

09/27/11 - "Why Men Are Never Depressed":
WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED:
Men
Are Just Happier People -- Men Are Just Happier People NICKNAMES · If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. · If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman . EATING OUT · When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. · When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. MONEY · A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. · A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. BATHROOMS · A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel. · The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. ARGUMENTS · A woman has the last word in any argument. · Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. FUTURE · A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. · A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. MARRIAGE · A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. · A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does. DRESSING UP · A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. · A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. NATURAL · Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. · Women somehow deteriorate during the night. OFFSPRING · Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. · A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing! SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humor and who can handle it .... and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

FINALLY:
From www.aJokeADay.com - 09/28/11: |
Three old couples were having tea one fine day. There were all chatting and whatnot when one of the men, trying to get a chuckle, said to his wife, "Pass the honey, honey!” Getting the chuckle he expected, he carried on. A moment later, the second man said, "Pass the sugar, sugar!" This got a bit of a bigger laugh, so the third man, although not quite as clever or quick-witted as the other two, decided to join in the fun. He waited for the perfect opportunity, cleared his throat and then confidently said, "Pass the tea, bag!" |
