For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Police do care

I get irritated when people come down on our police officers, saying that they don’t care about others. Well, here is a story that clearly shows not all cops are in that category.




This story involves the police department in the small hill country town of Fredericksburg , TX who reported finding a man's body last Saturday in the early evening in the Pedernales River near the state highway-87 bridge. The dead man’s name would not be released until his family had been notified.



The victim apparently drowned due to excessive beer consumption while visiting “someone" in Kerrville . He was wearing black fishnet stockings, a red garter belt, a pink G-string, purple lipstick, and an Obama T-shirt.



The police removed the Obama T-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary embarrassment.

Hoax Busting- Salt Water burning for fuel- I dunno!

Debunking email hoaxes and exposing Internet scams since 2003!


Fuel From Salt Water

Summary:

Series of videos and messages claim that an inventor in the US has found a way to burn salt water with a radio-wave generator (Full commentary below).


Subject: salt water can be used for auto fuel



Check this out.

Commentary:

Claims that an inventor has found a way to "burn" salt water with a radio-wave generator are circulating in the form of videos, emails and website articles. The technique has generated so much excitement because there have been suggestions that it could potentially be used to power vehicle engines from that most abundant of resources, sea water, and thereby break our increasingly troublesome reliance on fossil fuels.



Although the process described may sound somewhat far-fetched, the claims in the videos and messages are factual, at least in the sense that the salt water actually does "burn".



Several years ago, retired broadcast executive John Kanzius began working on a radio-wave generator that could kill cancer cells. The machine has so far shown promising results and has raised the interest of prominent doctors and scientists.



Kanzius and an associate, Charlie Rutkowski, later discovered that the radio-wave generator could actually burn salt water when they were experimenting to see if the machine could be used for desalination. A news video of the process shows how a test-tube filled with ordinary salt water with a piece of paper towel as a wick ignites and burns without consuming the paper. In fact, the water produces a flame without any wick at all. The footage also shows a miniature engine being powered by heat from the burning water. A chemist who examined the process determined that the energy released is hydrogen. The heat breaks down the bond between hydrogen and oxygen in the water.



It should be noted, however, that the process is not yet considered a practical method of generating energy and quite possible never will be. According to a PESWiki article on the subject, the radio-wave generator consumes more energy than can be produced by the burning salt water. Some of the more enthusiastic reports on the invention tend to gloss over this fact.

A Pilot's Story - Not what you would think


May 30, 2010



Kill 'em and Eat 'em.



This narrative came from a gent who runs a 2000-acre corn farm up around

Barron , WI, not far from Oshkosh . He used to fly F-4Es and F-16s for the

Guard and participated in the first Gulf War.





I went out to plant corn for a bit to finish a field before tomorrow morning

and witnessed The Great Battle . A golden eagle - big, with about a

six-foot wingspan - flew right in front of the tractor. It was being chased

by three crows that were continually dive bombing it and pecking at it. The

crows do this because the eagles rob their nests when they find them.







At any rate, the eagle banked hard right in one evasive maneuver, then

landed in the field about 100 feet from the tractor. This eagle stood about

3 feet tall. The crows all landed too. They took up positions around the

eagle at 120 degrees apart, but kept their distance at about 20 feet from

the big bird. The eagle would take a couple steps towards one of the crows

and they'd hop backwards and forward to keep their distance. Then the

reinforcement showed up.







I happened to spot the eagle's mate hurtling down out of the sky at what

appeared to be approximately Mach 1.5. Just before impact the eagle on the

ground took flight, (obviously a coordinated tactic; probably pre-briefed)

and the three crows which were watching the grounded eagle, also took flight

thinking they were going to get in some more pecking on the big bird.







The first crow being targeted by the diving eagle never stood a snowball's

chance in hell. There was a mid-air explosion of black feathers and that

crow was done. The diving eagle then banked hard left in what had to be a 9G

climbing turn, using the energy it had accumulated in the dive, and hit crow

#2 less than two seconds later. Another crow dead.







The grounded eagle, which was now airborne and had an altitude advantage on

the remaining crow, which was streaking eastward in full burner, made a

short dive, then banked hard right when the escaping crow tried to evade the

hit. It didn't work - crow #3 bit the dust at about 20 feet AGL.







This aerial battle was better than any air show I've been to, including the

war birds show at Oshkosh . The two eagles ripped the crows apart and ate

them on the ground, and as I got closer and closer working my way across the

field, I passed within 20 feet of one of them as it ate its catch. It

stopped and looked at me as I went by and you could see in the look of that

bird that it knew who's Boss Of The Sky. What a beautiful bird!







I loved it. Not only did they kill their enemy, they ate them. This is one

of the best Fighter Pilot stories I've seen in a long time... There are no

noble wars -- Only noble warriors.

Recycled Poem... Thanks Tom and Carolyn Lynch!

Read


Alone.....



Especially the

POEM

I believe

whatever is in store for

us will be for us.











The poem is

very true, unfortunately.











Make sure you

read the poem!



















CASE 1: Kelly

Sedey had one wish,

for her boyfriend of three years,

David Marsden, to propose to her.

Then one day when she was out

to lunch David proposed!



She accepted, but then had to leave

because she had a meeting in 20 min.



When she got to her office, ! ! she noticed on

her computer she had some e-mail's.

She checked it, the usual stuff

from her friends, but then she saw one

that she had never gotten before

















It was this poem.. She simply deleted it

without even reading all of it.

















BIG MISTAKE!

Later that evening,

she received a phone call from the police

It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident

with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!

















CASE 2: Take

Katie Robinson She received this poem and

being the believer that she was

she sent it to a few of her friends but

didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out

the full 5 that you must.



Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball.

Later that night when she left to get to her car,

she was killed in that spot by a

hit-and-run drunk driver.

















CASE 3: Richard

S. Willis sent this poem out

within 45 minutes of reading it.



Not even 4 hours later walking

along the street to his new job interview with

a really big company, when he ran into

Cynthia Bell, his secret love for 5 years.

Cynthia came up to himand told him of

her passionate crush on him that she had had

for 2 years. Three days later, he proposed to

her and they got married.

Cynthia and Richard are still married

with three children, happy as ever!

















This is the poem:

















Around the

corner I have a friend,

In this great

city that has no end,

Yet the days go

by and weeks rush on,

And before I

know it, a year is gone.

And I never see

my old friends face,

For life is a

swift and terrible race,

He knows

I like him just as well,

As in the days

when I rang his bell.

And he rang

mine but we were younger then,

And now we are

busy, tired men.

Tired of

playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying

to make a name.

'Tomorrow' I

say! 'I will call on Jim

Just to show

that I'm thinking of him.'

But tomorrow

comes and tomorrow goes,

And distance

between us grows and grows.

Around the

corner, yet miles away,

'Here's a

telegram sir,' ' Jim died today.'

And that's what

we get and deserve in the end.

Around the

corner, a vanished friend.

















Remember to

always say what you mean.

If you love someone, tell them.













Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late...













Seize the day.

Never have regrets.

And most importantly,

stay close to your friends

and family, for they have helped

make you the person that you are today.

















You must send this

on in 3 hours after reading the letter to 10 other people.

If you do this, you will receive

unbelievably good luck.



*NOTE*



the more people that you send this to, the better

luck you will have.



SMILE, even through

your tears!!!!!

Shirley goodness... Thanks Tom & Carolyn!

Recycles refresh us, don't they T & C!

Cute!!!!!!!!!



















A mother was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school.

Young Timmy didn't want his mother to walk with him. .....he wanted to walk with his friend.

His Mom wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.

So she had an idea of how to handle it.

She asked a neighbour if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance,

So he probably wouldn't notice her.

The neighbour said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbour girl he knew.

She did this for the whole week.



As the two walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs,

Timmy 's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week.

Finally she said to Timmy ,

'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?'

Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'

The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?'

'That's just Shirley Goodnest ,' Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy .'

' Shirley Goodnest ? Who the heck is she and why is she following us?

'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mum makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much.

And in the Psalm, it says, ' Shirley Goodnest (surely goodness ) and Marcy (mercy) shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!'



The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift His countenance upon you, and give you peace.



May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always



I know you smiled!

I sure did, Pass this on

And brighten someone's day!
