shoulder from carrying a briefcase for thirty five years and you know there's not really a shoulder here so what i'm carrying it with i should be doing this i should have like a sherpa or something. how does a guy without arms function on the road all by himself i carry my own luggage with straps i check into all tells all on my own i i rent cars my keys or you go oh thank you boss and my toes think you know why do i rent cars and it's just how i prefer to function i don't do cabs or because strangely they don't stop when you go . i still trotting around all the airports checking into hotels eat bad food drive in everywhere in the middle of nowhere getting involved in blizzards and swearing at my wife for putting me out yet in another life and death situation and not think about give it up so i mean i can get on a rant but at the end of the day she also says this line this is a wonderful line. i mean if you're tired of traveling i'm sure there's a cubicle with your name written out in a windowless office somewhere in the middle of nowhere for

a job that you to five minutes. and then it goes. in germany. had to overcome his lifetime aversion to other children in my shoes when he decided to make a documentary in which he and eleven other victims would pose nude for a calendar first i went to a disability school and from that moment on i wanted to have nothing to do with the marcus anymore and then because i made this film nobody's perfect i was kind of forced to me. to make this film. i don't want to look at myself. money come on nobody's perfect change every. change how i look at myself. it changed the movement of. complete because the first lawyer

is not someone else not doctors who are citing flaws really big time we were fighting i think for me. also as a lender miters but also for the public some say. the energy change. the call for the blood is all a logical thing nobody's perfect thanks. in two thousand and eight nico received the german equivalent of an oscar for his documentary on climate in. the east of china for media and for media heist i know that i sometimes. we are dealing. with the environs if you go to didn't meet and talk on. keep. us up. thanks to

get the money. in college eileen cronin fell in love with andy a graduate student in economics i was in love very definitely for sight. although i already had a boyfriend you know i immediately was drugged are you nervous and intelligence. her wit we moved in together. and we got pregnant very quickly. very quickly. i was wracked with worry all my life about having a child because i didn't know for sure that my mother had taken the limb in my eyes i was kind of panicked it started just settle in oh my god i'm going to have a baby i don't even know if i can have a baby i don't know if the baby's going to have legs or not have legs or something

else but also literally i did not know how i was going to carry a baby in my back and so they did the ultrasound the alters sound technician zoomed in right away found foot one foot blew it out took a picture and wrote flights and then other foot hands fingers and. i was crying and all the intern started. we knew that she would be ok. and i only know our best friends it's not hard to understand why i. took up to be a ballet dancer because that's something her mother wanted to be and she was very.

very soon you'll. so you will both be in the. u.s. does do you know that was what gave us it would the people most of all not all what i mean. make it was.

us veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulated branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with ifs if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort and easiness for peace. but i see. things. as you

know that in the thirty. years out how. good. it is. when his first wife sandy became pregnant alvin law was terrified about what the future held when i saw him come out of there with two arms and. two hands and five little fingers and. i didn't care what brand he was at all or if it was he. was just the most tremendous feeling my son. i knew it again. going back i worried a lot about how i was going to play. i was going to maybe i teach him how to call teach him to play for his. the impeachment to throw you know i mean all those

things that you want to have a kerry viewers do. we don't have to have arms to be a father. you don't need arms to love. you don't you know arms to be there you don't need arms to listen you don't need arms to be a father at all unfortunately too many fathers that have arms don't realize that. they were forget that that's true you just have to be there for him. and that surprised me. the tears i don't i'm not sad i'm just. as big he was a little that. i miss that little boy sometimes but that's not how life works right now is a normal regular person he's got the same regular personalities nothing really wrong about it and you just have to step in knowing you can't just judging by the way he looks what he brings and what he gives is much more so than anything i

could bring you know he he gives great you know fatherly advice he's a great role model is a great person. and that's all you can ask. louise mason had been a single mother for ten years when she received a christmas card from an old boyfriend i've heard louis being very well and kind to a christmas card and calm down and said aloud i think the spark reignited you the best way i could describe it he kissed me goodbye and bust of flies. i was sort of floating on a cloud. and he told his wife he was leaving. she helped impact all. and then he moved danny and the being together sent. to live out it up for an understanding with the two of them it's really weird you

know the way you cannot at something and you go i wouldn't know what i'm talking or what you don't about right now straight away what's the point in that you know that a lot of the head or a mannerism you pick up you know a little more if you just pick up on it but it's as though the six then you know it really is really fascinating where we communicate what you're there without even talking. and i think we all think we were made for it to that we only. remember thinking twenty years all divorced got a kid losing my hair gaining a gut no arms what a package and then i got to thinking you know i've got to change this that's how alan introduce him to our to the future wife. living in the audience one day that conference was the first time i heard him speak in it actually believe tonight sounds corny but it was a life changing event for me i was in the process of. considering making

a final decision about a rather unhappy marriage. i thought yeah right life is too short i have to make decisions for myself. i mean anybody that sees or for the first time missed that smile and just absolutely and i melted. friends to tell me that i smiled more the day of my wedding than they've ever seen me smile in my entire life and it was permanently glued there for days. it was the beginning of the joy that ended in the ring on the finger and the still there today. you can't even describe it it's like all these years of thanks to frustration just melted away in five minutes. you still write. he had lighted his letter she's passed her best before date so she's got no choice you've got to stick with me about there's no option you know me. i don't stop

traffic. you know you don't bear us there down. the. lows just like anybody else just keeps getting better and out of beijing it's getting. more fun there's a lot of credit that i get for doing this but i didn't just do this you know i had my parents first i had my teacher second and then i had her and those three elements of my life they've really been what has supplied the fuel for what drives . in australia. with the british company that bought and still has co-defendants in a multi-million dollar class action suit centered on the next row case melbourne woman lynette rowe is suing the drugs manufacturer grin and tell the company wanted
