We are 12 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season, and today is..... National Navajo Code Talkers Day Navajo code talkers in the U. S. Marine Corps relayed orders in the Navajo language on a field radio in the South Pacific. Cipher machines, or machines that create coded messages, did not work well in the jungles of the Pacific Islands during World War II. However, the United States military needed coded messages to send secret information from the battle lines to air bases and other locations. Native Americans who spoke the Navajo language helped solve this problem. The Navajo “code talkers,” as they became known, used English code words that they translated into their language to send messages. The Japanese military could hear these coded messages, but they could not understand their meanings. The Navajo language was not well known. The Navajo code talkers served in some of the fiercest battles of the Pacific. They saved many lives and helped the United States and its allies win the war. However, the code talkers were never allowed to discuss their work with anyone. Most Americans did not know about the code talkers’ role in World War II until much later. For their bravery and service, President Ronald Reagan set aside a special day to honor the Navajo code talkers. In 1982, he declared August 14 to be National Navajo Code Talkers Day.

It was great to see all the coaches engaging with the players. The players engaging with the coaches. The players excited about football. Disiplined.. Pumping up each other.. Very refreshing..

We are 15 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football season and today is.... (((You cant make this up people))) Happy Presidential Joke Day A president walks into a bar...and gets to crack his own jokes for a change. Presidential Joke Day is celebrated every year on August 11, and despite how it sounds, it's not a day designated for poking fun at the president (that's the other 364 days). This is a day to salute presidents with a sense of humor. The holiday was created in honor of an infamous joke cracked by President Ronald Reagan on August 11, 1984. During a sound check before a Saturday radio broadcast, Reagan said, "My fellow Americans. I'm pleased to announce that I've signed legislation outlawing the Soviet Union. We begin bombing in five minutes." Reagan was unaware, however, that the feed was live. Word quickly made its way to the Soviets, who put their military on high alert. Those Ruskies never did have much of a sense of humor. In celebration of Presidential Joke Day, we've compiled some of the funniest presidential quips throughout history. A sampling:"When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'present' or 'not guilty.'" —President Teddy Roosevelt"Being president is like running a cemetery: you've got a lot of people under you and nobody's listening." —President Bill Clinton"These stories about my intellectual capacity really get under my skin. You know, for a while I even thought my staff believed it. There on my schedule first thing every morning it said, 'Intelligence Briefing.'" —President George W. Bush [Hidden Content] BAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I was impressed!

We are 17 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season and today is.... National Hand Holding Day – August 9 Everybody has their preferred technique: some like interlocking, others prefer cupping. Some like the pinky-link while others prefer being on top…others on the bottom. Some swing both ways. When it comes to holding hands it is not all about romance. When you hold the hands of another you are sending the message that the other person is valued, important and noticed. James Coan of the University of Virginia found that when people hold hands, their brains don’t work as hard to cope with stress. When we hold hands, (or hug and touch), our bodies release oxytocin. Its role is to calm and destress, and it is thought that touch triggers the body into producing this hormone. Touch stimulates the production of oxytocin which, in turn, promotes a desire to touch and be touched. In another study, researchers from the University of North Carolina told couples they would have to give speeches. Before they did so, 100 of the couples sat holding hands for a short time, then they embraced for 20 seconds. Another group of couples rested quietly and were separated from their partners. During their speeches, heart rates and blood pressure rose twice as high in the second group compared to the hand-holders. Research further suggests that oxytocin is the chemical that can give marriage its beneficial effect on health over those that are single. To hold someone’s hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort. A poll of 3,000 people by Abbeyfield in the UK showed that more than half of people couldn’t remember the last time they held their grandparents hand and more than a quarter had never done so. However, almost a fifth of respondents, when asked whose hands they would most like to hold, said it would be the hand of a grandparent who has died. Just one in twenty respondents had held the hand of their grandma in the last month and only one in twenty five made this contact with their granddad. The report revealed a similar gender trend with parents, while only six percent of those surveyed had never held hands with their mother, twice as many had never held hands with their father. The poll also revealed that the older you get, the more you regretted that lack of contact. Almost half (48 percent) of respondents over 55, when asked whose hand they would most like to hold, said it would be that of a departed parent. The majority of respondents (80 percent) associated holding hands with romance but this contact was most popular amongst the young. Of those surveyed aged 17 and under, 64 percent most wanted to hold hands with someone they were attracted to. This figure decreased with age until only 21 percent of those over 55 wanted to hold hands for romance. This older group were most likely to associate holding hands with dying. (15 percent compared to less than two percent of those surveyed aged 17 and under) Loneliness and depression are rampant in today’s society. Holding someone’s hand, especially of someone who is isolated, dealing with an illness or elderly can help them to be more resilient against the impact of stress, promote better health and combat their feelings of isolation. Beverly’s Hot Tips For Celebrating Hand Holding Day: Reach out and touch the hand of someone you love or someone in need. Not only do they reap the benefit but so do you. Don’t wait until it’s too late and end up regretting that you didn’t grab at the opportunity. Holding hands has the benefits of keeping not only your heart warm, but your hands too…which is really important in the winter months here in Canada. Get past the embarrassment. Little kids do it naturally to their parents and with their friends…because it feels nice. Robert Fulgham (Everything I Learned, I Learned In Kindergarten) said: . . . Share everything. . . When you go out in the world, Watch out for traffic, hold hands, And stick together. . . .

Lol.. I'll be happy with the win! From what I have been hearing bout our Broncos, I like our chances. (Blows kisses)

We are 21 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season and today is... Today is an international traffic light's day 05.08.2014 14:48:20 Today the world celebrates the international day of traffic lights. This festival is held in honor of the events that took place in 1914. The first electric traffic light was developed in 1912 by Lester Wire, an American policeman of Salt Lake City, Utah, who also used red-green lights. On 5 August 1914, the American Traffic Signal Company installed a traffic signal system on the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer, based on the design of James Hoge, to provide a warning for color changes. The design by James Hoge allowed police and fire stations to control the signals in case of emergency. The first non-electric, gas lit, traffic lights were installed on 10 December 1868, outside the British Houses of Parliament in London to control the traffic in Bridge Street, Great George Street and Parliament Street. They were promoted by the railway engineer J. P. Knight and constructed by the railway signal engineers of Saxby & Farmer. The design combined three semaphore arms with red and green gas lamps for night-time use, on a pillar, operated by a police constable. The gas lantern was manually turned by a traffic police officer, with a lever at its base so that the appropriate light faced traffic.

Sad indeed. God speed peace for the family.

We are 28,27,26,25,24,23,22, days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season and today is... US Coast Guard Day U.S. Coast Guard Day honors the military branch that protects our waters and shorelines. The U.S. Defense Department suggests that this day is largely an internal celebration for all Coast Guard personnel and their families, past and present. But, we'd like to encourage everyone to honor the brave members of this important branch of the military. Celebrate U.S. Coast Guard Day by learning more about the responsibilities and functions of the U.S. Coast Guard. They are now playing an even more extensive role in Homeland Security to protect our country. We salute Coast Guard personnel today and every day. We hope you do, too. Origin of U.S. Coast Guard Day: On August 4, 1790, the Revenue Cutter Service was created by the U.S. Congress. Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters. These ships were built to to enforce U.S. tariff laws. The Revenue Cutter Service was the predecessor the U.S. Coast Guard. The name "Coast Guard" was first used in 1915.

We are 31,30,29 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season and today is... July 28 is National Hamburger Day Foodimentarian Posted on July 28, 2012 National Hamburger Day On this Day in 1900 the first ‘hamburgers’ were served at Louis’ Lunch diner in New Haven, Connecticut. Five Food Finds about Hamburgers The oldest fast food restaurant in the world is the White Castle franchise, which opened in 1921. The people of America eat more burgers out at restaurants or on the go than they do at home. The largest hamburger ever created was over 8,000 pounds and was cooked for a burger festival in Wisconsin. However, the hamburger in its current form, with ground beef and a bun, is a decidedly American creation. Hamburgers are made of beef, not ham, and there is much debate over whether they actually originated in Hamburg. Today’s Food History on this day in… 1586 The potato was introduced to England. It is claimed that Sir Thomas Harriot introduced potatoes to England on this day. (Some sources give December 3 as the date). 1852 Andrew Jackson Downing died. An American horticulturist, he was the author of ‘The Fruits and Fruit Trees of America’ (1845) and editor of the ‘Horticulturist’ periodical. 1866 The metric system was authorized to standardize weights and measures in the U.S. (Authorized, yes, but we still don’t use it very much). 1900 One of the many claims to the origin of the hamburger, is that Louis Lassing (or Lassen) first served hamburgers on a bun in his diner in New Haven, Connecticut. 1907 Earl S. Tupper was Born. The inventor of Tupperware. (Tupperware makes the containers used to conduct mold and bacterial experiments in the back of refrigerator shelves). 1977 At 11:02 p.m. the first oil from Prudhoe Bay arrived at Valdez in the trans-Alaskan pipeline. It took 38 days to travel the 800 miles. 1989 The largest halibut (Atlantic) caught with rod and reel weighed over 255 pounds. It was caught in Gloucester, Massachusetts by Sonny Manley

We are 34,33,32. days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season and today is... Red Shoe Day: A Day of Remembrance Red Shoe Day was founded in memory of Australian Lyme Patient, Theda Myint who left this earth on the 25th July 2013. The Inaugural Red Shoe Day was July 25th 2014, with this day quickly becoming established as an annual remembrance day to remember not only Theda, but all those lost to Lyme and other invisible illnesses worldwide. More about Theda and her journey can be seen at : Lyme Australia Recognition and Awareness (Theda Myint) The 6 month anniversary of Theda passing was remembered by asking everyone to join in lighting a candle and posting tributes. The memories from that day can be seen on the page, Remembering Theda: 6 months on. The Inaugural Red Shoe Day in 2014 saw many remembering those lost, sharing memories and wearing Red Shoes. There were also numerous artistic tributes and social gatherings on the day. Red Shoe Day 2014 Red Shoe Day 2015 Red Shoe Day 2016 Sometimes our lives are touched by friends who, though they are only able to stay a while, continue to live in our hearts and memories forever. Red shoe day, held on July 25th, is to remember all those we have lost to invisible illness such as Lyme, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and the many more illnesses that are invisible. In the broad sense of the term, invisible illnesses are those that are generally "invisible", not only from the outward appearance of the person, but also seemingly invisible to appropriate research, treatment and care of the thousands of people that are living with them. Many living with these illnesses are also "invisible" to society, as their health is such that they are confined to their houses, (and many to their beds) for months, even years. The online communities and support groups are a lifeline to many who are unable to leave their beds/houses and are also an excellent source of information for those looking for support in discussing treatment pathways and coping strategies. The people within these communities/groups understand the struggles and adversity with very little explanation. Finding "someone like you", leads to many friendships being developed, and the loss of someone from this community is felt by many, even those on the other side of the world. Each death brings a heightened sense of anger (and a numerous range of other feelings) at the injustice of their illness being ignored. It is also hard, as whilst many offer comfort to those affected, it also brings a sense of ones own mortality (or that of the loved one you are caring for) to the fore. We would therefore like to encourage the view that whilst the 25th of July is for remembering all those lost, it is not only to remember their passing, it also to celebrate their life and to remember and share the wonderful memories their time on this earth gave us. On July 25th, wear your Red Shoes in memory of those who now walk elsewhere. Post the picture and your memories to our facebook page - which we will then upload to the website as a permanent reminder.

We are 35 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season and today is..... Ratcatcher's Day Ratcatcher's Day commemorates the Pied Piper of Hamelin, the most infamous of Rat catchers. One of the most well known German folklores is the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The town of Hamelin, Germany was infested by rats. The mayor promised to handsomely pay the Pied Piper, if he rid the town of rats. The Pied Piper played his flute. Lured by the magical music, all of the rats left town, and followed him. He played his music all the way down to the river. He waded into the river. The rats followed him and drowned. The mayor refused to pay him. So, one night when the townspeople were asleep, the Pied Piper played his music again. This time, the children of the town followed him all the way into a cave. Some versions for the legend vary here. In one version, th e Pied Piper kept them there until he was paid by the town for his services. In most versions, the children were never to be seen again. How many Rats were lured to the River? Estimates are upwards of a million! If you see a Ratcatcher today, wish them Happy Ratcatcher's Day! Better make sure you pay the piper, if you hire him to get rid of the rats! IJS
