what a sound! Peggy Lee's best song in my opinion is "Lover." no one can present it the way she does. Her song selection was not the best for her voice, I would have loved to hear more songs that suited her husky sound, like Chris Connor.

Glen Miller Video Biography (1992) part 1
This says it all, the outdoor dancing with the Glen Miller band, "At Last", it calls back an era, a time when we all gasped in recognition that our great band leader was lost on his way to entertain the troops. A time of tears, lets not forget! My second book is in the works and I am attempting to put the feelings of the war time into words that allow those not alive to experience the mood, the way of life and how we thought and acted in those days.
G I Jive radio show with G I Jill - Program 2255 c.1950
Imagine a night with mist moving in , like it is in New England now. You are waiting for your loved one to come home from the war, or he is in a foreign country dreaming of you, listening to G I Jill or Tokyo Rose. Imagine the feelings, the emtions, the music even had this almost tinny quality.. but the emotions were the same into eternity.
come back to the era of the 2nd world war....

The Ink Spots - I Cover The Waterfront
1940's music, The Ink Spots ruled the air waves, here is a medley is songs that set the mood of the country at the time. There were lots of love songs, songs of yearning for lost loves, like , "I cover the Waterfront". It was a time of heartbreak, that caused such anguish and intense feelings, that even as a child, I can recall the tears of the time.

A vision inspired my book, Secrets of the Heart
About 15 years ago, when my mother lay dying, I shared a vision with her, and the Sister that was in charge of the nursing home. I cried for weeks, because I could not believe it, nor did I feel that I should be able to witness this magnificent gift.. Finally, I was motivated by various circumstances, beginning with a friend who kept telling me he was writing a book. He would ask, " Why don't you write a book?"
Since this was the most momentous event in my life, I spun a yarn around the event of my mother's death, and the death of my daughter Karen. It is a hopeful book for those that are dying, and for those that fear dying. It is a book of love, between man and woman, the self and God, told in dreams and visions, sprinkled with songs of the times, going back to the 1940's and 1950's.

Next time you plan a trip to Florida, the Navy Seals Museum is a place that I enjoyed. I was fascinated with the bravery and the training, I learned about at the museum. There is a lot to do in the Ft Pierce area, many people are not aware of , like the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Museum that is also nearby. A home we once owned in Florida, was donated to the museum, after purchase from us and now provides the office space for the museum. It was moved from our site on Jupiter Island, by barge, up the river to it's new home, so the new owner of our property could build a new home. .Marine Bioluminescence

Redundant cooling...why not use wind turbines at nuclear plants
Madlyn FafardDave DeCenzo
Dave, what do you think about this....would it make sense to plan to close down any of the plants immediately that are on faults, and to build new ones that are the pebble type, not able to have a melt down....this would seem intelligent, with a long term plan of phasing out the old plants that pose such danger to the public. Can we afford this type of a catastrophe, this loss of life and contamination? We need leadership , we can not allow this type of danger to exist when we have new technology, my mind tells me...what say you?

Existing plants on fault lines will not necessarily see a tsunami, but re-evaluation of cool-down redundancies after emergency shutdown is warranted. I would rather see the worst coal plants taken off line before the nukes if the nuke re-evaluations determine there are sufficiently low risks. Imagine how this would have played out if the Japan plants had had 3 or 4 WindTurbines of size 3MW sitting there as redundancy for the diesel generators and batteries. I have not seen a weather report yet where the wind stopped over there.

Buckminster Fuller,
R. Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller
Bucky Fuller (July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983) was an engineer, author, designer, inventor, and futurist. He published more than 30 books, inventing and popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth" and synergetics. He is best known for his invention of the geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their resemblance to "Bucky's" geodesic spheres.
New Dimensions had the enormous privilege to sit down with Bucky on many occasions. We've recently digitized several of those programs. Bucky had a way of answering an inquiry in detail. His mind was so encompassing, he never talked in the kind of sound-bytes, which we've been so accustomed to hearing on the media. He takes us on a whirlwind tour of history, as he connects the dots of unfolding humanity. So, enjoy the ride with R. Buckminster Fuller.
The following programs can be downloaded as audio or transcript. Or, you may want both. There is something powerful in the transmission of his own voice, but you may want to follow along with the transcript, because he talks very fast, and his language patterns are very precise, but not what we are used to hearing.

IS THERE ENOUGH TO GO AROUND? with BUCKMINSTER FULLER
Program #1570 - Buy Now $1.99 - MP3 Download or Transcript
Topics explorered in this dialogue include:
What was the highly developed geometry of the Babylonians
Why there are sixty minutes in an hour
Why churches fought progressive cosmology
How geometry as taught today still reinforces the "flat Earth" concept
What was the fundamental beliefs behind the rise of Marxism
How invisible realities have changed our world
What is the humanitarian potential of technology and industry
Why "we can no longer rationalize selfishness"
How invisible realities are changing the dynamics of history
What outer-space exploration taught us about human needs
What "the little individual" can do to help humanity and the planet
One of the most comprehensive and imaginative thinkers of our time is captured in essence here, as he gives an extraordinary overview of the state of the planet and human history. Asked whether there are enough resources to support our growing population, the late Buckminster Fuller, age 85 when this was recorded, responds with a tour-de-force capsule history of Western civilization—a refutation of the economics of scarcity first propounded by Thomas Malthus. His answer, spanning politics, religion, geodesic domes, the arms race and more, tickles and challenges our thinking about every topic in his path, as he describes the advent of a new world where selfishness is no longer necessary. Says Fuller, "We are on the threshold of a new wave."
He is the author of many books including Utopia or Oblivion (Bantam 1971) and Critical Path (St. Martin's 1981). To learn more about the work of R. Buckminster Fuller go to www.bfi.org

AROUND THE UNIVERSE with R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER
R. Buckminster Fuller has been called, "the Leonardo da Vinci of our time." In this two-part conversation, the visionary inventor, philosopher and humanitarian gives his extraordinarily insightful picture of where the human race is now, and how to proceed from here. He describes "cosmic cost accounting," being a "comprehensivist" instead of a specialist, doing more with less, experiential knowing, and the ultimate challenge to the future of humanity. In his autobiographical book Critical Path (St. Martin's Press 1981), Bucky sums up a lifetime of deep thought and concern for the planet and humankind. This two-part conversation is the "summing up of the summing up."

Asked whether there are enough resources to support our growing population, the late Buckminster Fuller, age 85 when this was recorded, responds with a tour-de-force capsule history of Western civilization—a refutation of the economics of scarcity first propounded by Thomas Malthus. His answer, spanning politics, religion, geodesic domes, the arms race and more, tickles and challenges our thinking about every topic in his path, as he describes the advent of a new world where selfishness is no longer necessary. Says Fuller, "We are on the threshold of a new wave."
He is the author of many books including Utopia or Oblivion (Bantam 1971) and Critical Path (St. Martin's 1981). To learn more about the work of R. Buckminster Fuller go to www.bfi.org

AROUND THE UNIVERSE with R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER
R. Buckminster Fuller has been called, "the Leonardo da Vinci of our time." In this two-part conversation, the visionary inventor, philosopher and humanitarian gives his extraordinarily insightful picture of where the human race is now, and how to proceed from here. He describes "cosmic cost accounting," being a "comprehensivist" instead of a specialist, doing more with less, experiential knowing, and the ultimate challenge to the future of humanity. In his autobiographical book Critical Path (St. Martin's Press 1981), Bucky sums up a lifetime of deep thought and concern for the planet and humankind. This two-part conversation is the "summing up of the summing up."
