Ill tell ye, all us poor Teds is tryen ta do is ta heel the world by keepen the greenhouse gasses down and if them cows wont make any admissions fer their emmissions all I can do is keep exploiten them fer the dang dung flingers what they are. As fer the abuse what theyre hurlen at a poor innocint Teds just take a look at the letter below. MadDogTed is haven nonea it fer sure.
Hay Ted
You good for nothing flea bag. Who do you effin think you are writen that load of bullocks about how the cattle community is responsible for global warming? And whats the big effin idea about insulting my girls, especially poor Harriet who wrote to you in an effort to defend our kin and kine? My girls are so upset at your attitude that many of them are refusing to eat, scared in case the world will abruptly end as soon as they put the next scrap in to their gobs. But worst of effin all, many of them are refusing me my conjugal rights, scared to bring any more destructive calves into the world. And where does that leave me, Teddyboy? Bull effin idle thats where.
Ive been looking forward to a roll in the hay with Harriet Heffer for weeks now and Im warning you, Buster, if you dont apologise at once Id advise you to dust down your togs cos youll be going swimming in the slurry pit very soon.

Howye fokes! How is things?
Last Friday the 13th I awoke up ta the sun bursten through the winda and I decided that it were high time fer me ta dust down me summer gear. But as soon as I opened the wardrobe door I was furociously attacked and haff eaten alive by a hoard a starven moths. Lookily, Albear Camoo herd me screems and after the fierce fight what enscewed we managed hobble ta safety. We was fierce traumatized fer sure, but we bravely managed ta get inta the trook and drive ta the hospital fer ta get stitched up.
Well, there we was booten it down the road when suddenly Mr Slashers Auntie Maud appeared outta nowhere and started ta flag us down. Albear hit the breaks fer sure, but unlookily they failed and we ploughed straight inta the poor woman, knocken her out stone cold. So we rang Mr Slasher with the terrable news and asked him fer ta come fer ta bring us all ta the hospital. He sed he couldnt understand what Auntie Maud was doen walken the roads cos she had just been discharged that mornen from the hospital with a cleen billa health and had told him not ta worry cos shed arranged a lift home.
Anyways, we waited and waited haff ded in the roasten heat fer Mr Slasher ta arrive. When he finally came we got the shocka our lives cos his face was all swelled up and his tongue, what was the size offa turnip, was rollen all over the place in and outta his mouth. Anyways, we managed ta get the gist a what happened ta him - somethin ta do with that gallopen trollop, Goldilocks, snaggen her nylons on a nail stook in one a the bar-stools, a ladder subsequently appearen on the sed nylons, a bee flyen under the sed ladder, a shot-glass suddenly fallen from nowhere on toppa the sed bee, the hysterical bee flyen inta Mr Slashers open gob and stingen the daylights outta it.
Lookily, alls well what ends well and eventually we all got the medical attention we needed and arrived home, fierce quiet but feelen a biteen better in ourselves. Meself and Albear Camoo went straight ta see MadDogTed in case he was worried about where we was all day. Well, we found him still in bed fast asleep oblivious ta all the goens on. He was clutchen his looky rabbit's foot in one little paw and a note in the other. The note sed:
tings 4 2 do on fri 13
1 tell gteb 2 get sum mot spray cos i saw 1 n his room da burty duggers
2 tell aldear camoo 4 2 fix his drakes cos dey is not worken
3 colleck ant maud from da hostipal
4 tell mr slasher 2 remove da nale wot i put in his dar stool 4 2 c if its reel oak btw its not
5 set alarm 4 2 get up early
Well, we was too week fer ta batter the liven daylights outta him - even while he slept - and when he eventually awoke up and found out that his alarm never went off and hed slept through the hole day, he hugged his looky rabbits foot in delight and sed Is Friday the 13th me looky day or what!
Be seein ya

Howye fokes! How is things? Inspired by the the success of Albear Camooss furst racy novel "A Bad Hare Day", MadDogTed decided ta have go at writen somethin in the Chick Lit vane fer himself, and his little offeren called "John with the Wind" is all about a weather cock called John what finds it hard ta find love cos hes stook on toppa the barn and never gets ta meet anyone and, as a result takes ta overdosen on beans fer ta fill the emotional void inside a him. Subsequently he gets a pernamint dose a the flatulince what grately effects his work cos hes never quite sure which way the wind does be blowen and ends up haven ta rely on his bunions fer ta predict the weather.
But then he meets the love a his life, Muriel the bat, what flies inta his life and she buys him some corn plasters fer his burthday and cures his bunions. A course, this means he can no longer forcast the weather cos as a token a her affections, Muriel just loves ta feed him beans and so he still hasnt a clue which way the wind does be goen. Anyways, as a result dosent he lose his job and our pair a love burds end up bitter, twisted, fly-by-night renegades what spend the resta a their lives on the rampage, brutally gorgen the eyes outta any weathermen what crosses their path and violently knocken the heds offa any Child a Prague what gets in their way.
Basically, ya could say the the two a them completely lose the plot, which is really what MadDogTeds furst attempt at a romantic novel does from the very furst word what he wrote. Fer that reason, ya can imagine me surprise when he told me that hed actually found a publisher fer his odious opus. And when I sed that his novel didnt quite embrace the sugary romantic essince a what Chick Lit is all about he sed, Chick Lit, me f n arse, its Sick Lit what I do be writen, fer sure! And Ill tell ye fokes, theres no better Ted fer the job.
Be seein ya

Mabbogtebby, could you ask Albear Camoo to see to that link?
It does not seem to work and it might contain important information.

Hi there
It's difficult to get the link to work. It's in SYSTIME - a Danish book company and the name of the book is "Spoken English" by Susanne Jørgensen. GTed is in Chapter 5.

This one works well Camoo. It's a scroll down to page 31, and though some may argue GallantTed speaks no dialect but Teddialect it still is the same GallantTed we're talking about.

The University of West Georgia's Center for Business and Economic Research recently released the Summer 2013 West Georgia Regional Update, a research study that provides economic findings from Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson, Paulding and Polk counties. You can download the full report here.
For the West Georgia region, unemployment rates in June 2013 were lower in five of the region's six counties compared to June 2012. Only Carroll County saw an increase over the past year, up to 10.5 percent in June 2013 compared to 10.3 percent in June 2012. Four of the six counties had an unemployment rate at or below the state rate of 9.3 percent in June 2013.
According to the research, unemployment rates across the state and the West Georgia region have risen over the past two months leading some to speculate that there may be a return to a more difficult job market; however, the numbers may be somewhat misleading. Between June 2012 and 2013, while adding another 2,302 persons to the labor force, the region has seen 3,485 more of its residents find jobs.
"Although the unemployment rates for some counties have increased over the last few months, the increase has come as a result of more people entering the labor force, not fewer people being employed," says Dr. William "Joey" Smith, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research in Carrollton. "Some of the increase is coming from new graduates entering the labor market, but a large amount of that increase is coming from discouraged workers starting to look for work again. That actually is somewhat encouraging."
The study notes that although goods-production jobs have started to mount a recovery in individual counties in the region, for the region overall, job numbers are still down; however, recent new firm announcements and the start of West Georgia's housing recovery have injected some optimism into the outlook for this sector. West Georgia's government sector has held steady as a share of total employment over the recession and recovery (between 18- 20 percent), despite having shrunk by about 2,000 jobs in the region. However, recent data indicates modest year-over-year gains in government jobs for the West Georgia Region.
"The most positive news is really two-fold," says Dr. Smith. "First, we are seeing growth in firms. There have been several announcements of new employers moving to the region, and they aren't confined to one county. Secondly, as we start to see people find employment, albeit slowly, this has helped to stabilize the housing market. We are seeing higher sale prices, shorter times on the market for houses for sale and more housing permits being issued. Although new houses are not being built at nearly the rates seen before the recession, demand is starting to rise. All of these indicate a movement back to a healthier economy."
Most significant were the decision of Trident Seafoods to open up a processing facility in Carrollton, the announcement that Gordon Food Service will be building a new distribution center in Douglasville, the plans for additional utility vehicle production at the Yamaha Motor manufacturing facility in Newnan and the expansion of the Jefferson Southern steel production plant in Rockmart (Polk County). Altogether, these four expansions are expected to add more than 500 jobs in the region over the next three years. Carroll County is also likely to see 20 new jobs as a result of a planned expansion at Printpack Inc.
"The issue of most concern is the speed at which we add to our job base," says Dr. Smith. "We need faster growth in business and its employment than we are currently seeing to employ or re-employ workers in West Georgia. We also need to start seeing the unemployment rate move back to pre-recession levels."

Chamber charmed by charcoal
Most businesses are plagued with a high employee turnover rate, but Kingsford Manufacturing in Parsons doesn't have that issue. Plant Manager Carey Preston said retirees have an average of 24 years seniority.
"Lots of our employees stay until they retire," said Preston. "We conduct yearly performance evaluations to review the year, and use that for development of our very talented staff."
Preston, who has been a plant manager with Kingsford for 34 years, said he has worked at five sites. The Parsons plant, one of three in the Mountain State, was built in 1958. The Parsons plant produces the finished charcoal product, the Beryl plant produces char and the Ridgley plant is a warehousing system.
The modern charcoal briquette was designed by Henry Ford. He operated a sawmill in Michigan to make wooden parts for his Model T. As the piles of wood waste began to grow, Ford was looking for an efficient way to use the wood waste and, working with E.G. Kingsford, made charcoal.
Preston said Kingsford is all about quality.
"We have about 80 percent of the market because we are all about the quality," Preston said. "Our advantages are ease of ignition, time to cooking readiness and time product heats to 380 degrees."
"Our plant works seven days a week, 24 hours a day," Preston said. "The Parsons Plant produces 100,000 tons of briquette a year."
Preston said Kingsford is having another great year with steady level growth. He said that gas grills are on the decline.
"Part of the continued success of Kingsford is because of the numerous barbeque championships and the food and cooking channels. These are growing in popularity, and helping with interest in charcoal grilling."
Preston said the completion of Corridor H would help with transportation.
"We have drivers that get stuck on the mountain and others that get lost," he said. "The completion of Corridor H would be a plus to Kingsford Manufacturing."
In other Chamber news:
-Mike Talbott told Chamber members he is beginning to work on the budget today.
-Mayor Duke Talbott introduced mayor elect Van Broughton. Talbott said they are working together to make the transition seamless.
-Bonnie Woodrum encouraged businesses to make emergency comprehensive plans to keep businesses running during a crisis.
-Kate Reed reported on the great success of Randolph County Day at the Legislature.
-Sharon Bedford updated members with information on the Randolph-Tucker Children's Advocacy Center.
-Reed asked for sponsors for the education scholarship fund. She reminded members that messages could be sent through the Chamber email blast, reaching more than 700 users. She also reminded members of the Chamber Awards Banquet for April 10.
The next Elkins-Randolph County Chamber of Commerce meeting is slated for May 8.

An Illinois woman's successful weight-loss story has gone global, after Shape magazine refused to post the fitness blogger's bikini picture.
Brooke Birmingham, who has lost 170 pounds, said Shape told her they wanted to feature her in their "success story" column.
She agreed, but just days after she sent the photo of her in a bathing suit, she received an email from the Shape reporter asking for a different photo.
When the magazine's reporter spoke with Birmingham, she said her editors told her it's company policy to show success stories of women wearing a shirt. But Birmingham said several of the stories feature women in bathing suits.
The photo Birmingham sent in shows excess skin around her waist, something common in rapid weight loss.
A representative from Shape disagrees with Birmingham's account.
"This is a result of a misunderstanding with a freelance writer," a spokesperson for the magazine said via an email statement to Yahoo Shine. "This does not represent Shape's editorial values, and the comments made about Shape's 'editorial policy' are absolutely untrue. Shape prides itself on empowering and celebrating women like Brooke, and any indication that we would not run the piece with the photo provided was wrong, as we would have been proud to share her inspirational story."
Since the story broke, Birmingham's Facebook page has gotten thousands of followers, and she's been interviewed by media outlets around the world.
Birmingham said she hopes to continue motivating others.

Commission continues with rezoning agenda
Planning Commissioners, staff, and a handful of other residents and stakeholders continued discussion of how to write the new city zoning ordinance on Monday night.
As Montpelier embraces a view towards creating much needed housing across all levels of ages and income there is hope that through a simplified though diligent zoning ordinance developers will be encouraged to build those housing units without the city surrendering the vitality of its essential historic downtown, green spaces, and cultural and educational institutions.
"There is a traditional Vermont village where people live, work, and can walk to their services. Then out from there would be what we're conceiving of as the suburban area...far enough away that people have to drive, then further out would be the rural district." said Commissioner Jon Anderson.
The meeting centered around how future zoning allows for the development of particular parcels of property including the area around Crestview Drive owned by Planning Commissioner Alan Goldman, Sabin Pasture and the Towne Street neighborhoods.
The proposed district into which each parcel falls would require 10 acre lots, with two units allowed on each lot, but if a developer wanted in addition to cluster or build 20% affordable housing, they could receive a building bonus of up to 1000 percent.
"Montpelier is a great place to live and people should have the opportunity to live here," said Jack McCullough of the Montepelier Housing Task Force.
"The master plan recognizes and establishes the need for additional housing. Montpelier has the infrastructure, water, sewer, educational facilities, every element to support a substantial increase in our population."

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the Internet will be the basic means for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the Agenda database.
Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Institute of Museum and Library Services' printed agenda entries include only:
(1) Rules that are in the Agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; and
(2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified Agenda published on the Internet. In addition, for fall editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan will continue to be printed in the Federal Register, as in past years, including Institute of Museum and Library Services' regulatory plan.

Who the hell is ESPN to grade NBA trades? I'm sure that if the Knicks sign two superstars this summer those ESPN analysts are going to look mighty stupid.
Thought I would share this since Insider is a sub. We got a C, Rox got an A- and the Kings got a B+. Just one time would I like to see the media saying we got the best in a deal.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Rockets: I see this as two trades, both of which benefit Houston. First, the Rockets basically extracted two first-rounders (Hill and the 2012 pick) from New York for taking on Jeffries, plus a potential lottery ticket in 2011.
The trade costs Houston its salary cap space this summer, which now will be spent paying Jeffries to sit at the end of the bench. But since the Rockets didn't have enough room for a max deal and every other team will be flush with cash, I don't think this costs them much. Additionally, Houston should still be able to re-sign Kyle Lowry and Luis Scola without going over the luxury tax.
The deal comes with the bonus of getting the Rockets under the luxury tax for the current season. Unlike every other team scrambling to get under the tax line, Houston managed to do it while adding assets instead of subtracting them. Well played.
With Sacramento, Houston swapped two of the league's most underrated players. Landry is about as good as Martin, but the deal makes so much sense for the Rockets because it gives them a more productive roster. Houston was desperate for a wing who could get his own shot and space the floor. Martin answers both challenges.
The stat-savvy Rockets undoubtedly have noticed Martin's astronomic true shooting percentages (better than 60 in four of the past five seasons). He gets his points without dominating the ball and should thrive from open looks when Yao Ming returns to health next season. He's also familiar with Rick Adelman's system, having played for him in Sacramento.
Losing Landry hurts, but the Rockets managed to rebuild their front line in one shot by acquiring Hill to back up Scola at power forward. The Rockets also can play small with Shane Battier at the 4 and Martin and Trevor Ariza at the wings, something they've rarely done this season because of a shortage of wing talent.
All told, it reshapes their roster to be far more potent next season when Yao returns. In the meantime, the Rockets haven't hurt themselves at all for this season. They got under the luxury tax and grabbed a couple of assets from New York on the exchange. Martin has been injury-prone, and his contract (three years for $36 million after this season) is potentially toxic if he underperforms. But this is about as good a trade as a team can make now that Isiah Thomas and Kevin McHale are out of the league. Grade: A-
Kings: We had been hearing for a while that the Kings weren't looking to trade Martin, but that belied the on-court reality that he and Tyreke Evans go together like peanut butter and onions. And once they pulled the trigger, the Kings got exactly what they were looking for: cap relief and a young, productive, inexpensive power forward in Landry.
Landry makes only $3 million next year, but his low-post scoring ability should provide a nice staple for Sacramento, especially since the Kings' other young bigs, Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes, have trouble scoring on the block.
The Kings actually took on some salary in this deal ($3.6 million) but might be able to get some savings by buying out Hughes, who likely has no interest in playing eight minutes a game for a lottery team.
More importantly, the deal positions Sacramento (stop me if you've heard this before) to be a major player in the free-agent market. As a result of deals in the past 48 hours, the Kings, Clippers, Wizards and Bulls all have positioned themselves to offer a maximum free-agent contract, while the Knicks now can offer two maximum deals. In the Kings' case, they probably will take a more piecemeal approach -- LeBron ain't coming to Sacto, folks. But if they can add a young point guard to build around with Evans, Omri Casspi, Landry, Thompson and Hawes, they should be in good position to turn things around. Grade: B+
Knicks: It's all or nothing this summer for the Knicks, who set themselves up for their dream scenario -- being able to offer two maximum free-agent contracts -- but did so at considerable cost. By finally ridding themselves of their obligation to Jeffries next year, New York now projects to have about $32 million in cap space, which theoretically positions them to sign Dwyane Wade and LeBron, or one of those two and Chris Bosh.
However, New York gave up a lot of assets in order to make this deal work. The Knicks sent out two young pieces: their 2012 first-round pick (top-5 protected) and young forward Jordan Hill. With no 2010 first-rounder, whomever they entice to take their money will be playing with Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Toney Douglas, Eddy Curry, Bill Walker and six guys making the minimum. (No, not David Lee -- he's an unrestricted free agent).
Rodriguez also could stay in the mix if the cap number comes in higher than anticipated or if New York can trade Douglas on draft day. This is a great situation for Rodriguez to thrive in since coach Mike D'Antoni's system is so dependent on creative point guards, so we'll see whether he makes good on his promise as a drive-and-kick guy.
New York should be able to trade Curry for another fat contract (no pun intended) next year, but it remains to be seen whether the lure of the Big Apple is enough to overcome what looks to be a limited supporting cast.
Meanwhile, consider the other scenario. If those A-list free agents stay with their original teams, the Knicks are pretty much hosed -- they'd be left to re-sign Lee, overpay some other second-tier free agent and go 32-50 for the next half-decade. This is a high-risk strategy forced upon them by the misery of the Isiah Thomas era, and it remains unclear how well it will pan out.
Finally, a lot of Knicks fans are asking me about McGrady. Basketball-wise, he's totally irrelevant to this deal -- New York can't make the playoffs no matter what McGrady does, and the Knicks won't be in a position to keep T-Mac if he plays well. Grade: C
Who the hell is ESPN to grade NBA trades? I'm sure that if the Knicks sign two superstars this summer those ESPN analysts are going to look mighty stupid.
Spike still runs the garden.
P.S.... since when does 3/4= 80%?
Spike still runs the garden.
trust me, if the knicks land lebron, you have no idea how bad the knick dick riding is going to be............
Spike still runs the garden.
This is the absolute truth
This is what makes or breaks 2 seasons (with D Walsh at the helm) of pulling our hair out in anticipation while dealing with losses and Duhon.New York should be able to trade Curry for another fat contract (no pun intended) next year, but it remains to be seen whether the lure of the Big Apple is enough to overcome what looks to be a limited supporting cast.
I don't believe this trade was anywhere near as "high-risk" as it's being made out to be. Obviously, for us to hit a home run with this deal, we are going to need to get two of the following in July: Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Johnson. However, I vehemently disagree with the notion that we are dead if we don't get two max guys. There are plenty of other good players out there to build a playoff team with. What if we got Amare Stoudemire (assuming you don't consider him a "max" player) and Joe Johnson? What if we got Carlos Boozer and Joe Johnson?? What if we got Michael Redd, Rudy Gay, and Joe Johnson??? What if we re-signed Mcgrady (assuming he plays really well for us down the stretch), and then only got Bosh??? Aren't all of these combinations likely playoff teams??? And, isn't it also true that we still have a 1st round pick next summer??? And aren't we allowed to decide not to spend all of our cap money this offseason and save some for next summer when Carmello Anthony is available??? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding YES. Simply put, there are just so many possibilities. As Donnie Walsh himself put it to the media, this move gives us "flexibility". I really think said flexibility is being greatly overlooked by most of the pundits in the media. There are a lot of really good players out there who are not quite good enough to earn max contracts, and yet, still could help the Knicks improve drastically.

There is this idea out there that Walsh is taking a HUGE risk with this plan. I ask these people, what other option did he have? The only way to rebuild this team was to get under the cap. I believe Donnie when he says that he didn't even know who the free agent class of 2010 was when he made this plan. He doesn't matter. This is what we had to do regardless. If it doesn't work out this summer, we need to be patient and make it happen the following summer.

Lol you got me there.> when I was young my mother is said to have had a "miscarriage," [ abortion by God ] but upon review it turns out there was a wire coathanger involved. God works in mysterious ways. Posted by: Herod the Freemason | April 28, 2011 2:41 PM She is my mother and I am willing to accept the notion of an Immaculate Miscarriage, but there has been problems in the pass with allowing such liberty with the meaning of words and terms. In Aramaic as in modern German there is a term for young unmarried teenage lady, in German it is Fraulein. The word for virgin is the same as that for young teenage girl and using the term does not necessarily imply being chaste. In our age a pregnant teen is not taken so readily to be called a miracle. If you were a scribe who had a vested interest in promoting a new religion, then you might consider the virgin translation of the meaning for Fraulein. Aramaic is a desert language and there is no term for the verb "to swim." So they express it as "walks on water." When translating the story of the life of Joshua bar Joseph into the Greek story of Jesus there were scribes who already had a conflict between "keeping it real" and making Jesus appear to be "all that He could be". I believe life goes on until you have been punished enough and along this line of thought I write: Hail Panthera Bearer of the Good Seed The firmest of the True God is with thee. Privileged are you among philanderers and esteemed is the Fruit of your seed, Lord Joshua. Pray for us wanderers now and in the instant of our excitment. Smile kindly upon that marble encampment of art collecting pederasts aside the Tiber and lead not the holy father priests of the three headed God into the paths of young boys, less they should seek reparations. Hail Panthera Bearer of the Good Seed Privileged are you among philanderers For you have been mistaken for God Himself. Hail Panthera Victorious young soldier of Rome. I am Episcopalian by maternal descent, I got up at 2 AM our time to watch the wedding last night. Episcopalian can be called Roman Catholic Lite, all the ceremony and at one third less guilt. gary107 posted:11/7/2012 10:40:14 PM Panthera was the standard bearer for a Roman cohort stationed in Galilee. Likely a fine figure of a young soldier and brave enough to be allowed to be the standard bearer. His grave is in western Germany. If Joshua [ in Greek: Jesus ]was also good looking, then there may be reason that all he had to say to Matthew the tax collector was: "Follow me." Being half Roman it might have been difficult to find a Jewish father willing to allow him to date a princess. Herod must have enjoyed sending him before Pilate looking handsome and half Roman. I have always thought there should be a yearly festival at Panthera's grave site. He was the one who had Mary.gary107 posted:11/7/2012 10:43:54 PM I am posting these views because we may soon here in California have the great quake that has been talked about all my life.

You cannot blame the Sons and Daughters for the sins of their fathers. Its an old conflict and I wish it would go away.The common British people are in just as much of an economic tit ringer as anybody else right now.

The young lady told me "we may not have snakes in our country but we do have the English." However in was an Englishman who proposed in a song that with no nations there would be nothing to kill or die for. Imagine.gary107 posted:11/10/2012 4:58:22 PM mother's family Royal Irish generations ago from County Down in Ulster, Pictish by race British because Ireland is part of the British Isles. "British" is a term that comes from Pictish, those Saxons from "England" and Danes from "Dublin" are just intruders in our homelands. Send them all back to Europe for all I care. The true British folks ended up in Cornwall, Wales, the Highlands. and North [Ulster] and Western Ireland, the new comers just inturde there. When it becomes general knowledge that Jack Fitzgerald Kennedy gave the Nazi German Navy information on the British Alan Turing machine that allowed the Germans to sink over 4000 allied Merchant ships during 1942 and '43 his popuality will drop among many and rocket up among others. 100,000 Merchant Marine sailors [30, 000 of then Americans] went down with their ships. Kaisar Ship Building made lots of money relpacing the loses with Liberty ships. When presented with this JFK Jr. had help from the US Navy in faking the death of him, his wife and siter-in-law. Giving folks false hope by faking a death is how the Catholic Church got started, such a one trick pony. The Irish Catholic Americans avoided the Merchant service during the second World War, check the death rolls, interesting reading. Religion is myth making and some humans are good at doing that. I pray it catches up with them.LincolnGenghis posted:11/10/2012 6:33:54 PM Not sure I completely follow this.

Family tracing
The Salvation Army Family Tracing Service endeavours to locate family members whose current whereabouts are unknown and who are being sought for the purpose of re-uniting the family.
This service involves:
We do not help with the following:
If you DO NOT live in AUSTRALIA:
If you live in Australia:
If we believe we can help, we will send a detailed application form so you can provide all the information we need. After reviewing the application, if we find there are no legal issues to prevent us from doing the search, we will assign a registration number and the search will begin. We will coordinate the search with our staff around the world and advise you of our findings.Searches can take a few days or a few years so the service is not able to guarantee a time frame.
Searches can take a few days or a few years so the service is not able to guarantee a time frame. The service is not geared to look for people who have only recently left home. However, on occasions the service has helped with urgent requests. Crisis cases do occur when family members are being sought because of terminal illness, accident or death.
Reconciliation or reunion often brings out intense feelings of completeness and renewal. The service also plays an advocacy role when the people concerned may not know each other or the relationship is strained.
The service boasts of a current success rate of more than 75%.
All avenues of investigation are strictly confidential and no information will be revealed without the consent of the person being traced.
The Family Tracing Service, or as it was known in England for many years, Mrs Booth's Investigations Department, commenced in England in 1885. Poverty was rife in agricultural areas of England and families lived at bare subsistence level. At the same time, London and other cities, with their increasing number of affluent families, offered positions of employment for country girls. As they had never been outside their home town, they became easy prey to undesirables of the day.
And so it was within twenty years of the Army's inception, William Booth, the founder, began to receive letters from anxious parents requesting The Salvation Army to assist in tracing the whereabouts of their missing daughters.
A department was set up to try and rescue these girls and to re-unite them with their families. In those days, paragraphs were placed in the War Cry asking if anyone know the whereabouts of these girls and other missing people and so commenced many years of special ministry in this area.
From that humble beginning, the service now has officers/staff in most western countries where The Salvation Army is established, conducting enquiries regarding missing family members.

Grassroots group to celebrate solstice in Meyers
June 21, 2013
More info
What: Meyers Summer Solstice Celebration
When: Sunday from 2-6 p.m.
Where: Safe Haven parking lot, Meyers
Dr. Joshua Welch wanted to create an event to bring the community together that would also emphasize what he calls the healing powers of the basin.
Last year, Welch and a few other South Shore locals founded the inaugural Meyers Summer Solstice Celebration. The family-friendly event will return to the community this weekend to welcome the arrival of summer and celebrate the longest day of the year.
"Our main idea is to hold community building activities to get people out and walking around," Welch, coordinator of the 2013 celebration, said. "The solstice for me is a time when you can experience the health factor of living in Tahoe … We're bringing the community to heal together and focus on what's good."
The event will include live music, booths with local healers and other community groups, face painting, craft vendors, local food and ice cream, art, yoga, a bounce house and a rock climbing wall.
About 300 people attended last year's celebration, according to Welch. Event organizers printed the summer solstice celebration logo on mason jars, and offered drink specials in partnership with a handful of participating restaurants.
"We're really a grass-roots movement. We're not working with the chamber … The Meyers locals are really looking forward to it," Welch said.
Welch, who runs Safe Haven Chiropractic in Meyers, emphasized the potential for renewal in and around the Lake Tahoe Basin. The solstice is "a time to reflect on the growth of the season," an event press release stated.
"As a health care professional, I focus not on teaching people what's wrong. When you focus on what's right, your body will naturally be in that healing state," Welch said. "I think many people come up to Lake Tahoe not realizing the healing lands can actually make them feel better."
Groups across the world celebrated the longest day of the year Friday, including 15,000 yogis who rolled out their mats in Manhattan's Times Square and 20,000 people who gathered at the Stonehenge monument according to an Associated Press report.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's budget proposal adds an additional 181-million dollars for the UW System.
The money was a popular topic of conversation at an open forum Thursday on the UW-L campus.
Chancellor Joe Gow says overall it was a positive budget. He says after the last two budgets had significant cuts to the UW System, this budget has what he calls a modest increase.
It also did not include the 5.5% tuition cap from past budgets, meaning it will be up to the Regents to decide any increase.

Magnesium and calcium are fundamental nutrients that need to be in balance with each other in order for you to fully experience good health. Their importance on a cellular level is critical. Calcium and magnesium are like opposite sides of a coin. Calcium excites nerves, while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium is needed for blood clotting, but magnesium keeps the blood flowing freely.
Calcium & Magnesium:A Matter of Balance: You experience the tensing (calcium) and relaxing (magnesium) interaction of these two elements each time your heart beats, when you feel your pulse, and every time you breathe.
When we are under stress, our cells which in their resting state contain magnesium go through a change. Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state. Think of it as an on-off switch. The off" is magnesium and the on" is calcium.
Magnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also assists in keeping your bones strong. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It's easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.
Calcium deficiency can be a serious issue. It is an important nutrient your body needs every day, but too much calcium can also be a problem.
The recommended adequate intake of calcium according to the National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, is 1,000 mg for adults aged 19–50 and 1,200 mg for 51 plus. There are many adults who are taking 1,200–1,500 mg of supplemental calcium in addition to their dietary intake of calcium (an 8 oz cup of low-fat fruit yogurt contains 345 mg of calcium and one cup of nonfat milk contains 306 mg). Unassimilated calcium can end up in the soft tissues of the body where it deposits and hardens (calcifies) or in the urine where it may result in kidney stones.
Unless calcium and magnesium are properly balanced, magnesium becomes depleted (too much calcium can itself deplete magnesium levels). This can result in an inability to quickly recover from stress and can itself be a source of stress.
The Anti-Stress Drink:Natural Calm is the solution to both restoring a healthy magnesium level and balancing your calcium intake—the result of which is natural stress relief. Natural Calm is the best-selling magnesium supplement on the market for over three years in a row according to health food supermarket scanner reports.
It features a proprietary formula developed by nutritional researcher Peter Gillham that provides a highly absorbable, water-soluble magnesium in ionic form (having molecular charge that allows the element to easily bond with water), so it is ready to go to work right away. Natural Calm can gradually reduce accumulated calcium, giving fast relief to many symptoms of magnesium depletion.
Stress Relief and Health:Millions have experienced the stress relief and health benefits Natural Calm provides. Drink stress away naturally with The Anti-Stress Drink.
Supplement Facts:
Iconic magnesium citrate (created from a highly absorbable proprietary blend of citric acid and magnesium carbonate).
Place powder in a glass or mug; add 2-3 oz of hot water. Let it fizz, then stir until dissolved. Fill with warm or cold water and enjoy. You can also simply add Natural Calm to a glass or bottle of cold water. Use only as directed.
Serving Size: Individual needs may vary. Start with one half teaspoon (1 g) daily and gradually increase to 2 slightly rounded teaspoons (4.5 g) as needed.
For Best Results, divide your daily amount of Natural Calm into two servings. Natural Calm can be taken with or withour food. When bowels are comfortably loose, this is the optimal amount.
Advanced Use: 3 rounded teaspoons (7 g), which provides 540 mg or 135% of daily value.
Magnesium is needed to run every thing in the body. I love this product, it calms me down when i feel anxiety and it helps me to focus. It gives me deep sleep every night when i feel stress. It works really very fast. It has reduced my muscle cramps. Highly recommended.

We ran into Manny!
We got to our hotel, parked the car and who is walking toward us? None other than Manny! he was parked next to us! I told him in Spanish "Manny, we are not going to bother you, I just want you to know we are so happy to have you back". My friends said something similar. Manny was super nice. he shook my friends hands then he gave me a hug! We were so happy!!
We saw our fist win at the Milwaukee facility so we sang "I Love LA". that is the traditional song at Dodger Stadium after a win.
Short thread. Today's game is televised and our beloved Vin Scully is in the house!
13 Comments
Lucky!!! Reminds me of when I saw Bill Cowher walking out of a Dunkin Donuts, or Coach K in his car…
That is awesome Emma. I swear you are the luckiest person I know.
Thewrightway! thanks for stopping by. When I said we do not want to bother you… he said "is no bother….". We were elated that we got the opportunity to welcome him back.
Thanks Julia! He said "Solo Dios sabe por que hace las cosas". "Only God knows why things happens the way they do".
Jan, Only thing bad of the trip is we had our picture taken in AZ on the freeway. Watch out for those cameras!
What a fun thing to have happen! And, I love listening to Scully!
Oh wow that must have been really cool to run into Manny like that. Wish you would have had a pic of that. I hate to say this cause I'm a Giants fan but I'm a big Fan of Manny. That guy can flat out hit!
~King of Cali
King of Cali, I was not sure if we should ask him. To me is seems like at the ballpark we can ask them but off the ballpark, they are on their own time. How does everyone feels about this? I had conversation with players if I encounter them. off the ballpark and I just talk with them. One time I saw Tommy and when I said "Hi Tommy" He responded reluctantly, but once he saw that I just wanted to talk to him he opened up talking away being very friendly. AT the end he smiled and said "It was very nice talking with you". i often see him at the stadium and he remembers me. At the sTadium I did have a pic taken with him and have autographs. I know chances are slim to see Manny again but…you never know.
That's awesome, Emma! I love the new picture too!
Thanks Amy! My traveling friends and I are planning on attending the games in Chicago when the Dodgers are there in May.
Oh my goodness, that is soooo cool! I am so glad you got to meet Manny! Too bad he's hurt already.
I know, but I think he will not take long to get ready once he is healthy. It was so weird seeing Hoffman in a Milwaukee uni.
Manny is a nutball (allways has been), but he seems to be a nice guy, at least where fans are concerned. I met him in Baltimore when he was still playing for Cleveland. I was actually introduced to him by his then-teammate Roberto Alomar. He (Manny) actually seemed kind of shy…from what I can tell, he got over his shyness when he went to Boston. LOL
Shelley, Was Jeff Kent with Cleveland at that time?
