“At
the first kiss I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite
way.

Herman Hesse,
Narcissus and Goldmund , 1930 |

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This is another one of my
favorite old ballads from 1955.
BONUS #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFB_D7jS1wU - I'll Never Stop Loving You - Doris Day - great sound quality, with photos of Doris through the years
BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82VYlyr_Xpk - I'll Never Stop Loving You - Doris Day - Scenes from Doris Day's first movie, "Romance on the High Seas", with various photos of Doris through the years.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ll_Never_Stop_Loving_You_%281955_song%29:
| "I'll Never Stop Loving You" is a
popular
song. The music was written by Nicholas Brodzsky, the lyrics by Sammy Cahn. The song was published in 1955. The recording by Doris Day was released as Columbia Records as catalog number 40505.[1] It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on July 23, 1955. On the Disk Jockey chart, it peaked at #13; on the Best Seller chart, at #15; on the composite chart of the top 100 songs, it reached #93 (a misleading figure, because the top-100 list was started by Billboard after the peak of the song's popularity).[2] |
PRAYER ROLL:
| I have been having a bunch
of sun related skin damages removed lately. The most recent was on the
nose and required 25 stitches. I told the doctor I looked like
Frankenstein. He replied, "No, you are too short."
Add insult to injury. Exactly. |

YESTERDAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
| From
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday1020.htm -
INCLUDING: Sunday, Oct. 20, 1861 LADY LEAVES LOOSE-LIPPED LIST The slogan “loose lips sink ships” would not be coined until a much later war, but something like it should have been mentioned to military commanders in Washington at this time. Additionally, something along the lines of better border security would have been a good idea. A woman, whose identity is unknown, walked into the Confederate War Office in Richmond today, dropped off a parcel of papers, and walked back out. The papers included explicit descriptions of the plans for Banks’ forces’ advance on Manassas, as well as Burnside’s expedition into North Carolina and Butler’s into Louisiana. The lady had gathered this information at a dinner party in Washington D. C. several days earlier, where Gen. John A. Dix was one of the guests. Dix’s lip slipped. Monday, Oct. 20, 1862 MCCLERNAND MISASSIGNMENT MAKES MILITARY MESS Either Abraham Lincoln was trying to keep too many people happy and feeling important, or he suffered a major brain cramp today. He issued orders to Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand, a big-shot politician from Illinois, to organize troops and lead them on an expedition to Vicksburg, Mississippi. What Lincoln seemed to forget was that he had just assigned Gen. Ulysses S. Grant to the same task. This was to lead to no end of conflicts, confusion and eventually hostility between Grant and McClernand, since each quite honestly believed himself to be the rightful commander of the project. Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1863 CONFEDERATE CONFIDENCE CURSES CRUISERS At the beginning of the War the Confederacy, realizing that it simply did not have enough warships, had begun contracting to have new ones constructed, primarily in the great shipyards of Liverpool, England. Although technically in violation of British “neutrality”, much of this was winked at as contractors were making money hand over fist. Finally, though, the US representatives got through to foreign secretary Lord Russell to point out a coincidence: Two rams known as “294” and “295” were very close to being finished. At the same time huge numbers of Confederate naval officers seemed to be finding their way to English shores. How alarmed Lord Russell was at the threat of war with the United States if the ships were released is unknown, but today he put the final nail in the coffin: the ships were quietly seized by Her Majesty’s government. The “Laird rams”, as they were known, never saw Southern service. Thursday, Oct. 20, 1864 PRICE’S PROJECT PRODUCES PROFOUND PERIL Sterling Price had been fighting to liberate Missouri from Union hands since the beginning of the war. His final excursion had been going on for a month now, and was having no greater success than the previous ones, in large part because Missouri seemed to have no great desire for such liberation. Price expected to lead his army in and grow it by a flood of recruits. Since nearly every man in Missouri eligible for army service was already serving, on one side or the other, this did not occur. Today Price was in Lexington, on the banks of the Missouri River. He had Pleasanton’s heavy cavalry behind him, Andrew Jackson Smith’s infantry on his left and Samuel Curtis’ men up ahead. The river, on the right of his course, was the only direction from which shot and shell were not flying. |
TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
| From
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday1021.htm -
INCLUDING:
Monday, Oct. 21, 1861 BAKER BLOWS BALL’S BLUFF, BADLY It is hard to tell who was more to blame for the Union fiasco, the overall commander Brig. Gen. Charles P. Stone, or the man on the scene, Col. Edward D. Baker, former senator from Oregon and personal friend of Abraham Lincoln. Using boats which were too few and too small, Baker ferried some 1700 troops across the Potomac River to the base of this bluff, just downstream from Edwards Ferry. They clambered to the top of the cliff and set to fighting Confederates under Brig. Gen. Nathan G. “Shanks” Evans. As more Confederates came up the Federals started to fall back, only to find the bluffs at their back. They scrambled down as best they could, swamping the boats, trying to swim, or scrambling along the banks to escape. Baker preserved his reputation by being shot dead and becoming a martyr. Stone was accused of treason and worse and thrown into prison. The hero of the day, Shanks, never received promotion or recognition, in part because he had a reputation as a drunkard. Tuesday, Oct. 21, 1862 ARKANSAS ACTIVISTS ACHIEVE ARSONS Two days ago a mail boat, the Gladiator, had been steaming peacefully along the Mississippi River, when suddenly gunfire broke out from the Arkansas shore. Guerilla activity of this sort was hardly uncommon, whether by actual secessionists or merely armed bandits, and Admiral David D. Porter was thoroughly sick of it. Today he sent the gunboat USS Louisville, along with the transport steamer Meteor loaded with troops, to the closest towns to where the attack had taken place. Under command of Lt. Commander Meade, the villages of Bledsoe’s Landing and Hamblin’s Landing were put to the torch. The people were told that “every outrage by the guerillas upon packets would be similarly dealt with.” Wednesday, Oct. 21, 1863 GIMPY GRANT GREETS GRUMPY GENERAL Ulysses S. Grant could not have cut a very imposing image today. Besides his usual rumpled attire he was at the moment hobbling around on a pair of crutches. A few weeks earlier, in New Orleans, Grant’s horse had slipped, fallen and rolled on him, breaking no bones but doing considerable other damage. In the mud and mire of Stevenson, Ala., it made getting around exceedingly difficult, but as Grant and Rosecrans paths crossed there, the conditions hardly mattered. Grant had ordered the other general relieved of command at Chattanooga after he had made no progress at lifting the Confederate siege around the town. Rosecrans was on his way to Nashville and north for reassignment, and Grant was on his way to see Chattanooga for himself, and a conference, however uncomfortable, was necessary. Friday, Oct. 21, 1864 PRICE PARRIES PURSUIT, PRESERVES POSITION Sterling Price’s position was clearly desperate. Surrounded on three sides by closely pursuing Federal forces, and with a river on the fourth, the logical thing to do would most likely have been to surrender his force and abandon every hope of taking Missouri out of the Union. This was not, however, Price’s style, so instead he today fought a very forceful fight at small waterway known as Little Blue. The inevitable was staved off for another day, and in fact the Federals were not as secure as they wanted Price to believe, ordering the evacuation of Independence, Mo. |

Dear Miss Typhoon --
Just to show how
infinitesimally small we are and how great God is. Hope our
typhoons will enjoy it.
George
Thank you so much, George!
I spent at least 45 minutes looking for this presentation, and while I found breathtaking images taken by the Hubble Telescope such as the ones shown in the British show, I was unable to find that text recorded anywhere else on line. These videos are all majestic and moving, but none of them conveys the message you sent - which was all this, and oh, so much more:

From My Friend Cheryl of NC - 10/20/11 - "barbershop singer":
| This is beautiful!!!
Here is one that is
unbelievable. This barbershop singer made this tape where he sings all
four parts. There is never a miss cue. What a voice he has - such
talent, and unbelievably perfectly on tune. Now that is a voice range to
be able to sing bass, baritone, lead, and tenor--not even to say he did
it all together with various tapings of himself. That is creativity at
its best! Hope you enjoy this!
MORE
WOWZERS! Thank you so
much, Cheryl!

Getting
close to Halloween... Artist Ray Villafane began carving pumpkins on a lark for his art students in a small rural school district in Michigan. The hobby changed his life as he gained a viral following online and unlocked his genuine love of sculpting. Here are images of pumpkin carvings Villafane created over the past five years.
Thanks, Michael!

FINALLY:
| From www.aJokeADay.com - 10/19/11: |
A family went to a hospital, where one of their relatives would be having a brain transplant. One of the relatives asked, "What will the cost of a new brain be?" The doctor replied, "A female brain costs $25,000 and a male brain costs $50,000." The men smirked, but one of the females asked, "Why is that, doctor?" "Well," the doctor replied,” the female brain is less because it has been used." |

I'll Never Stop Loving You
Lyrics by
Sammy Cahn
(18 June 1913 – 15 Jan 1993)
Music by Nicholas Brodzsky (20 Apr 1905 – 24 Dec 1958)
Recorded by
Doris
Day (b. 03 Apr 1924)
I'll never stop loving you
Whatever else I may do
My love for you
Will live 'till time itself is through
I'll never stop wanting you
And when forever is through
My heart will beat
The way it does each time we meet
The night doesn't question the stars
That appear in the skies
So why should I question the stars
That appear in my eyes
Of this I'm more than just sure
My love will last and endure
I'll never, no
I'll never stop loving you
