The Great Thanksgiving Hoax
Dear Daily Crux reader,
November 28th. 2010
http://bit.ly/fmiHO7
Today, you'll receive just one email from the Crux team... and it will be a little different from the financial fare we normally feature.
After all, today, most of our readers are far more interested in family, turkey, and taking a break from finance.
Instead of our normal handful of links, we bring you just one. It's written by Richard Maybury, a man we consider to be a national treasure.
Maybury is the author of the most insightful and useful set of history books you'll find anywhere in the world: the Uncle Eric series.
He believes in the ideas that made the founding of America the greatest event in history: liberty, private property, free markets, and personal responsibility. Reading his books is a revelation for many people... and the perfect antidote to the statist brainwashing our children receive these days.
The link we bring you is to Richard's classic piece titled "The Great Thanksgiving Hoax." We guarantee it will teach you some Thanksgiving history you didn't know about.
You can read it here.
Regards,
Brian Hunt
Editor in Chief, Stansberry & Associates
P.S. We receive no compensation from Richard or his company for recommending the Uncle Eric series. We simply believe the more people read and internalize the ideas presented in the books, the better off the world will be. And we can attest the series makes for a fantastic Christmas gift. You can learn more about it here.

At Google we see 23 hours of video being uploaded to YouTube per minute, and I'm sure that will increase over time. So trying to project what tools will be available over the next 40 years is really daunting. -- Vice President of Engineering at Google.com Vinton Cerf | Smithsonian.com - July | August 2010

Red Cross Offer Safety Tips for Cold Weather
Red Cross Offer Safety Tips for Cold Weather
American Red Cross
Release Date and Time: 11-22-2010 08:15:00 AM
News Release
SEATTLE, November 22, 2010— Exposure to cold can cause injury or serious illness such as frostbite or hypothermia. The likelihood of injury or illness depends on factors such as physical activity, clothing, wind, humidity, working and living conditions, and a person's age and state of health. The American Red Cross offers these tips to stay safe in the cold weather:
Dress appropriately before going outdoors. The air temperature does not have to be below freezing for someone to experience cold emergencies such as hypothermia and frostbite. Wind speed can create dangerously cold conditions even when the temperature is not that low.
* If possible, avoid being outside in the coldest part of the day, or for extended periods of time in extreme cold weather.
* Dress in layers so you can adjust to changing conditions. Avoid overdressing or overexertion that can lead to illness.
* Most of your body heat is lost through your head so wear a hat, preferably one that covers your ears.
* Mittens provide more warmth to your hands than gloves.
* Wear waterproof, insulated boots to help avoid hypothermia or frostbite by keeping your feet warm and dry and to maintain your footing in ice and snow.
* Take frequent breaks and stay hydrated.
* Get out of wet clothes immediately and warm the core body temperature with a blanket or warm fluids like hot cider or soup. Avoid drinking caffeine or alcohol if you expect you or someone you are trying to help has hypothermia or frostbite.
* Keep a winter storm survival kit in your car. This should include blankets, food, flares, chains, gloves and first aid supplies.
* Prepare your vehicle. Winterize your car by taking it to a trusted mechanic, who will check things like the tires for appropriate pressure and tread, the cooling system, the battery, the wiper blades and washer fluid, etc.
* During the winter months, make sure to keep your gas tank near full to avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines. Keep extra blankets in the trunk in the event that you are stranded and have to wait for help.

Moody Blues: New Horizons
New Horizons ~ Moody Blues
From The Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn album in 1972 by Justin Hayward.
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind
Someday...
Where is this place that we have found
Nobody knows where we are bound
I long to hear, I need to see
Cos I've shed tears too many for me
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind
Someday...
On the wind soaring free
Spread your wings
I'm beginning to see
Out of mind far from view
Beyond the reach of a nightmare come true
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind
Someday...
Someway...

Today's Featured Music: Remembering: Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa
1940 - 1993
mp3 | FZ music
Biography
Frank Vincent Zappa (pronounced /ˈzæpə/; December 21, 1940 – December 4, 1993) was an American composer, electric guitarist, record producer, and film director. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa wrote rock, jazz, electronic, orchestral, and musique concrète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist.
While in his teens, he acquired a taste for percussion-based avant-garde composers such as Edgard Varèse and 1950s rhythm and blues music. He began writing classical music in high school, while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands—he later switched to electric guitar. He was a self-taught composer and performer, and his diverse musical influences led him to create music that was often impossible to categorize. His 1966 debut album with the Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisations and studio-generated sound collages. His later albums shared this eclectic and experimental approach, irrespective of whether the fundamental format was one of rock, jazz or classical. He wrote the lyrics to all his songs, which—often humorously—reflected his iconoclastic view of established social and political processes, structures and movements. He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion, and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech, autodidacticism and the abolition of censorship.
Zappa was a highly productive and prolific artist and he gained widespread critical acclaim. Many of his albums are considered essential in rock and jazz history. He is regarded as one of the most original guitarists and composers of his time. He also remains a major influence on musicians and composers. He had some commercial success, particularly in Europe, and for most of his career was able to work as an independent artist. Zappa was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997.
Zappa was married to Kathryn J. "Kay" Sherman from 1960 to 1964. In 1967 he married Adelaide Gail Sloatman, with whom he remained until his death from prostate cancer in 1993. They had four children: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Gail Zappa manages the businesses of her late husband under the name the Zappa Family Trust. {wiki}
