A special dog
- thanks to ChickLady who sent me this email
Remember, No one's a throw away, human or animal. This is a
awesome testimony and an inspiration.
This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was
born with 2 legs -
He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother
did not want him.
His
first owner also did not think that he could survive and he
was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'. But then, his present
owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of
him. She became determined to teach and train this little dog
to walk by himself.. She named him 'Faith'.
In
the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel
the movement.
Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward
for him for standing up and jumping around.
Even
the other dog at home encouraged him to walk. Amazingly, only
after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on
his hind legs and to jump to move forward. After further
training in the snow, he could now walk like a human being.
Faith
loves to walk around now. No matter where he goes, he attracts
people to him. He is fast becoming famous on the international
scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows.
There is now a book entitled 'With a Little Faith' being
published about him. He was even considered to appear in one
of Harry Potter movies.
His
present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post
and plans to take him around the world to preach that even
without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul'.
In
life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel
better
you just need to look at life from another direction. I hope
this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone
and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each
beautiful day. Faith is the continual demonstration of the
strength and wonder of life.

Computers Will Enable People To Live Forever
The inventor, author, and futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts
that in 15 to 30 years, nanobots will roam our blood streams
fixing diseased or aging organs, computers will back up our
human memories, and conference calls will be replaced by
meetings in virtual resorts.
Electricity broadcast through the air may someday run your
home.
The idea was conceived by Marin Soljacic, an assistant
professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT). A metaphorical light bulb lit up over his
head in the middle of the night, he says, when a beeping cell
phone woke him because it needed recharging. Why, he wondered,
couldn't a cell phone - or his four Roomba robotic vacuum
cleaners, for that matter - be constantly recharged
wirelessly?
