The Shattered Oak (Book) - 5/12/2021 3:29:15 PM
"The Shattered Oak" is an amazing story. The continued storyline of the comparison of the author's life to the shattering oak tree is compelling. This story shines a light on two problems that exist in our society: domestic abuse and misdiagnosis of mental health diseases, both serious. The courageous story shared by Sherry Genga is encouraging and uplifting. "The Shattering Oak" is a well-written book that takes the reader on a journey with the author. The book is raw and honest and her words speak the meaning of the book when Genga writes, "Through my words, I may help them cope and achieve their survival" {the injured}. What strength she shared with us. I highly recommend this book.
The Shattered Oak (Book) - 5/22/2020 10:38:16 AM
This book brings the reader on a journey of inconceivable pain, heartache, and abuse with brief glimpses of hope throughout.
The author's harrowing tale is one of truth and continued reflection of self.
To say that this person has been through hell and back would be an understatement.
The writing the author uses makes this book easy to read and easy for the reader to be drawn into the story.
This is a must read for any person who wants to fully understand the difficulties an abused person lives through.
Thank you to the author for this labor of love.

Wow! This is an amazing first-hand account of a time long past. To say the people who lived and enjoyed this passion were an adventerous bunch would be an understatement.
The format used to write this important work makes for easy reading and an easy understanding of the sequence of events.
While I am not an aviation buff, I can see how this hobby can reach into the hearts of the people who love the feeling of flying and the people who are as avid as they.
It was interesting to read the lengths a person would go to in order to achieve the goal of flying and being able to achieve what seemed liked lofty flying goals.
I sincerely hope the author has been able to share this publication with your family and your father's friends. This would be an important addition to their history.
Thank you to the author for taking the time to put this amazing story to print.
Aaargh! Menopause (Book) - 9/25/2018 9:22:43 AM
My experience with menopause was nothing. I had no symptoms, none, one month had my period and next month to the present -- did not. There would be no other way for me to know I even went through menopause. I read this publication to delve into other products that are available for people for various health issues and see its application and any relief it had given.
This publication was a promotional for velvet deer antler with very little other information as to true clinical trials, etcetera. I would have liked to see other professionals interviewed about this product as to its validity and included in this publication.
If the relief your physician has prescribed is not working for you, this may be an option to research. But research I would certainly do as not sure of the status of this product in the United States.
The publication is easy to read. After finishing this publication I felt I needed more information, preferably from other professionals and people who have used this product before I pursued its use. But this publication is a start if this was something I was looking at using.

Aaargh! Menopause (Book) - 9/25/2018 7:39:52 AM
Menopause is the thing of soap operas and late night comedy shows, but for us "older women" it is real life. The symptoms vary from lady to lady, but most are pretty similar. I would classify my issues as pretty normal and not too life altering, but I think we all dread the hot flashes and would love to get rid of them. I had high hopes for this book, as the cover indicated, 2 easy solutions for all the symptoms.
I was quite disappointed in the book. It felt like a written "infomercial" for velvet deer anther. There was some clinical information, but mostly from overseas research or vet research. I was not impressed, nor was I ready to purchase the products suggested in the book. Maybe I am not daring enough to try this product harvested and marketed in a foreign county. All that said, if you have not received relief from more conventional treatments, this approach might work for you.

I'm so glad you were able to bring your father's story to print. It is so important to have history from the viewpoint of those who lived it. Those were heady times when personal safety and machine efficiency were thrown to the winds for the adventure and excitement that flying brought.
My uncle, who just turned 100, entered the Air Force in 1942, and although he didn't fly for the Air Force during his 20 year career there, rented a Piper Cub and took me up for my first flight in 1948. The only connection I have with New Jersey is the photograph that my friend and neighbor, Herb Morrison, gave me to give to my younger brother of the Hindenburg that he took at the airport in Newark prior to flying down to record the arrival of the German airship for WLS Chicago on its second flight to the United States. My recollection of him is in this article that I've posted with the photograph:

The Secrets of Staying Young (Book) - 10/21/2010 8:14:48 PM
I agree with Dr. Bernard. But unfortunately people would rather give the totally responsibility for their health to someone else. I guess they would then have someone to blame their illness on.

Super Nutrition for Dogs n' Cats (Book) - 11/7/2005 11:24:43 PM
Having recently lost my best friend, a pure breed Australian cattledog, who was 11.5 years old, I can see that a book like this could be of great advantage. Whilst I almost always cooked for him, chicken, beef, veges, pasta, rice, perhaps I missed out on giving him things that he needed. He was diagnosed with a splenic tumour and although it didn't appear to be as bad as first thought, his heart gave out and he died. I would have done anything in the world to save him, and tried to by admitting him to an intensive care hospital, but the miracle wasn't going to happen. I am going to have a new friend soon as I need a canine mate to love, and I will think seriously about buying this book so I can do all that I can to make sure he has a longer life than 11.5 years.
Good luck with the book.

Keep Pets Safe at Christmas (Article) - 12/4/2016 5:35:42 AM
Excellent article! Sadly too many pets die each year because pet owners are not well informed about the dangers of food, plants and decorations. Fortunately we don't have to worry about our dogs chewing or eating or drinking anything they are not supposed too, we are very lucky. The younger the pet, the greater the danger. Also party guests should be informed not to give the pet anything from the table (we always have a bowl of treats handy for guests who have a hard time resisting the temptation.)
Thank you for sharing!

Excellent article and well researched. I suspect drug companies won't go much on it.Then again, I'm a cynic (batting for you) who was a Registered Nurse for 22 years until I burnt out watching futile conventional methods of treatment fail time after time.

Holiday dangers to our pets. (Article) - 11/21/2015 10:51:59 AM
I can't recall ever earning our pets during the holidays as a result of any of these. But then, they mostly weren't in the house. Some dogs I knew ate a lot of gravy.
Sure glad I don't own a pet and don't have to worry about these things. When I did, I never had any Christmasy stuff around and only fed my dog, dog food.

Are we recreating the Atlantean apocalypse? (Article) - 3/21/2011 8:57:06 AM
Myself, I regard all Atlantean hypothesis the same way I regard the Christian Bible, and the same way Joseph Campbell regarded myths and legends: fascinating conjecture with definitely identifiable commonalities that effects of time and consideration have rather mutably affected. I stop short of accepting the rationalisations of most 'authoritative' authors on the subject, lacking evidential empirical facts, but for that matter, consider our range of attitudes towards the possibility of ALF/ELFs, or the truly startling scientific theories of individuals like Austrian Viktor Schauberger. That having been said, in the words of the immortal bard: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy..." And now, if you'll excuse me, I have a hot date with a cute Lemurian who has invited me for an interview under California's Mt. Shasta.
Cheers, Kalikiano
Global warming’s culprit: Not CO2 (Article) - 3/21/2011 8:39:16 AM
Bravo Zulu, Nina. Your career certainly spans a range of interesting interests and activities. As for 'global warming', human beings characteristically seek simple explanations to complex problems; while this trait hews congruently to the Occam's Razor approach to understanding, by attributing effects to the least complicated explanative theory, a subject like this that you have addressed correctly involves (as you observe) a vast array of synergistic factors that have extremely subtle interactions, varying directly throughout a related time base. Until the advances of science and technology enabled human economic affairs with an exponential impact capability of massive proportions, the cumulative effect of all human activities on the planet's bioecosphere was rather inconsequential. That is no longer the case, of course (as a former ATP, you're in an excellent position to understand some of the more adverse direct photochemical effects of modern stratospheric flight) and the aggregate of these processes will simply continue to compound this aspect of climate change. It's an interesting topic, but one must always remember that despite all our (i.e. homo sapiens) erstwhile 'advanced' knowledge and understanding, we remain the most ignorant of primitives when that Earthly data base is placed into its proper comparative cosmic context. I find that it helps to rememember that sad truth from time to time, when one attempts to 'explain' things in a logical or meaningful sense. Your intelligence is obvious and admirable, and it's comforting to think that the 'geese' are lucky enough to occasionally have crews like yourself in command of the flight deck, LoL.

Can our schools cause attention deficit disorder? (Article) - 10/21/2010 8:20:09 PM
Just this past week I reviewed my grandchild's lunch menu and I was surprised at some of the choices. Pretty good. I agree that the diagnosis of ADD and ADHD for children begin when they enter the school system. I believe a diet change might be a better solution but will this modern date "I want to be your friend" parent do it.
Anyway, will stop in again

Dear Nina,
Anything is possible...
You express yourself very well. Do you think that soy is the answer?
I am sure of one thing - beef is NOT!
Enjoy iife!

Global warming’s culprit: Not CO2 (Article) - 12/30/2007 3:26:10 AM
Your confusioning the issue with the facts. Now they'll have to come up with some kind of comos thing tax to replace the impending C02 taxes they were going to lay on us. A side from that.. Very well written.. and very informative. Enjoyed the read.
The consequences of high-carb eating. (Article) - 10/23/2007 6:25:36 PM
This is well structured information and some people may need the advice.
Yet... I often think that our instinct must be right. My cat never ate anything that made it sick, the same can be said of animals I have had the opportunity of observing.
I have the impression that the more we think about what we eat, the less natural it becomes. And once we forget about our instincts, we don't feel what is good for us anymore and need to look for it in books.
Of course, this is only my personal opinion. But this attitude has kept me healthy, with a stable weight and, most important of all, serene. I run away from people who discuss calories and exercise until they look ugly. One day I looked at the hands and feet of women who spent their time at the gym... nothing feminine, only tension, strange-looking muscles and veins.
I just wanted to share some of my thoughts with you. I hope you don't mind.
Best regards,
Axilea

Earthquakes in the "ring of fire" validate prophecies. (Article) - 10/3/2006 2:55:43 PM
The "Ring of Fire" issue has some substance. Since the hot plasma below the tectonic plates is at an extremely high temperature, it can have a much greater effect upon the surface temperature than do the low temperature gases in the atmosphere. In fact, the hot plasma can penetrate the surface layer, creating volcanos. Some volcanos are born beneath the surface of the oceans and rise to create island craters. The heat radiation from the plasma moves upward toward the surface of the earth, and re-radiates outward through our atmosphere. Scientists know that certain gases, such as carbon dioxide, tend to trap the heat from the sun, but they evidently have not taken into consideration the full "thermal network",beginning at the center of the earth and ending in outer space. While the thermal resistance of rock and other materials is somewhat high, the tectonic plates are thin (as compared to radial earth distances), and although the temperature drop across this layer is high, the plasma temperature is extremely high. I am only one of many who doubt the validity of the current Global Warming Models. If the model is wrong, the solution to the problem may very likely also be wrong. I have discussed this subject with other scientists who have more direct experience in this area, and there are similar predictions from other investigations, that are based on historic evidence of cyclic temperature variations, which indicate that we are due for a severe temperature rise over the next decade. All heating effects would have to be considered, however.
As to subsurface electromagnetic radiation producing earthquakes or other substantial large mass transport phenomena, that appears to be absurd. Most high frequency radiation energy is absorbed at the surface of most materials, and the "skin depth" (absorption layer) is generally quite thin. Very few material can conduct microwave radiation very far without losing most of the energy. That is why your microwave oven heats mostly the top of the food, which then conducts some of the heat to the lower areas. Microwave radiation is much more likely to affect your brain. This is another current subject of interest, especially for cell phones which transmit energy short distances from the brain (the shorter the distance, the higher the energy density).
Are we recreating the Atlantean apocalypse? (Article) - 10/31/2005 9:52:07 PM
Scary to think about because I just got done writing a novella about Atlantis, and doing a Science Fiction story set right after the Mayan Calendar. Weird when you think about it, but it is that dark vision of how the world will end that you don't want to face. Well written and well observed here.
