That's Absurd – Completely and Totally Ridiculous:
How can anyone or group be expected, much less asked to do such an impossible thing: We Accept! We Don't Back Down.
The funny thing is, it was exactly what we were planning on doing after the Grand Success of Operation: Silent Thunder Natural Skies.
Already on the drawing board;
(1) The Farmers Friend, a small local "Rainmaker" designed to keep any farm 3 X 9 miles with plenty of water for his crops in any weather conditions except, plentiful rainfall conditions.
First successful test was just completed today 8/6/2012 11:00am. While "They" are still playing with their 'Sky Writing', we've left them behind and moved on to the next task, Making Rain, Ending Drought's. Silly Rabbits 🙂
(2) Operation: Desert Bloom and Desert Eagle – Proposal to make the Deserts of America and Africa Bloom and bring plentiful water to drought stricken parts of Africa and India, naturally, just by providing plentiful water, through mobile "Self-Contained Rainmaker Vehicles" named Desert Eagles, to make the Desert Bloom. Again it will be described below in detail. But you have already seen what they basically look like. Wilhelm Reich had one. It was almost always sitting on the back of truck.
Combine the two, upgraded for desert travel, and you have the Basic Desert Eagle Mobile Rainmaker.
Ours is a simple update of that.
The ORIGINAL "Desert Eagle" that made the Desert Bloom
(3) Operation: Clean Air L.A. – A Proposal to attempt to easily clean the air of pollution over the city of Los Angeles, California with 13 (G-1's) or 1 or 2 (G-2's). And Operation: Clean Air California – which is a test to see if we can clean the air of a Large State, though we could start smaller. At least 6 (G-2's).
We could start with one G-2 here, but we need more donations 🙂
Donations determine how far we can go. Otherwise, we can only do what we can do, and that's to the point now where that is not much with out more funding.
And Operation: Middle East Peace – The placement of at least 13 (G-1) units and 3 or 4 G-2 units around or near Israel.
There is a lot of very negative energy in this place. And it will take a lot to get it out. But remember, the larger the Negative Energy, the Greater the reward once this negative energy is converted into Positive Energy.
And once converted into positive energy, as long as the Positive Air Cleaners are there in the area, it won't convert back. It will just get stronger.
And last but not least is Operation: Spirit Of D.C. – Exactly like Operation Middle East Peace. There is no difference, except this one falls within the range of the T.D.P.
Same set up and same goals. A lot of Negative energy needs to be converted, period. But with D.C., we have actually already begun the Peace Process. D.C. Skies and air are already protected from harmful chemicals and energies. Positive Energy is already starting to spread around the city.
If we increase the P.E., it might even get into the Halls Of Congress and the White House and start to really do some good.
The increase in Positive Energy is designed to accelerate the process.
The (G-2) Positive Air Cleaner PAC, could be the perfect tool for the Job.
Now let's get some Donations in here. Show us that you care.
Pay close attention, please. Everything you are about to read and understand about "Rainmakers" is right before your eyes in this picture.
Everything about our own tests leads us right back here, to this one picture.
Because the very first thing we have to do of course, is see if we can build a "Rainmaker". If we can't do that, all other things are mute!
TEST 1: 8/3/2012 to 8/4/2012
Equipment: (2) 3″ Diameter X 5 foot long thin steel vent pipe sections and (1) 4″ X 5′ aluminum Dryer vent pipe.
We went for diameter instead of pipe thickness.
Power Source: (G-1) 5 Gallon Bucket with (3) 20″ copper pipes in top. Attached to Hollow Tubes with Braided Steel Flexible Washing Machine Hoses.
Results After 16 Hours: 2:30pm 8/3 – 6:30pm 8/4
No Rain – Complete failure
Starting to get worried 🙁
TEST 2: Desperation
Running very low on money, we used what we had.
Picked up additional Washing Machine Hoses and 3/4″ PVC Male Adapters.
The 3/4″ Male adapters fit perfectly over the ends of the 3/4″ Copper pipes, which was all we had left to work with
Equipment: (6) 3/4″ X 5′ Foot Grade "M" Copper Pipes
Power Source: (1) G-1 Standard Bucket Assembly (Grounded)
Quickly Duct Taped the (6) Copper pipes to the first failed experiment, using it as a stiff frame. It looked very bad, so I didn't take any pictures. It was nothing to be proud of.
But it looked and followed the same basic concept as this six tube "Rainmaker" unit here:
Though not half as pretty. And it didn't pivot up and down. This one was set on top of the bucket and propped up against the fence at a 45% angle to the sky.
Not knowing where to point the dag on thing, we chose into the wind. The thinking being, we wanted it to always have clouds to be in front of it, and we wanted the rain to come directly over Frederick and water our land and nearby farms.
As it turns out in a recent Frederick Post Article; Frederick County, for the past 2 weeks, has been the only Maryland County not under some kind of Drought Threat.
The Official said, "We're Blessed! We are in good shape. There is no way we can consider any kind of Drought Measures like asking for help.
In fact there is only one place in the North of Frederick County that's even a little worried. And they're water table is only 2" below average. Burkittsville.
As it turns out, Burkittsville is only about 5 or 6 miles away from us here, and it's the exact direction we want to point the would be Rainmaker prototype at. Perfect!
Round 2: 8/4/12 – 10pm. Start of Test
Now it's time to wait 🙁
And Wait 🙁
12 hours later 10am.
Next morning, skies are clear, another beautiful day, dag gone it!
Out of totally clear skies dark storm clouds suddenly appear. They came from the direction of the wind. This is important, because it was a totally different direction than all other Chemtrail and Chemcloud Assaults against Frederick have come.
And sometime between 2:15pm and 2:30pm, the Heavens broke loose as if God almighty were starting his Motorcycle, if he had one.
I don't know if it were a slight sound of thunder or a slight sight of lightning, but I turned my head in the direction where the make shift rainmaker was pointed.
And then it happened.
Lightning exploded inside a large cloud, lighting the whole thing and most of the sky up. At the same time, Thunder sounded.
And this was no ordinary thunder. It was the type of thunder that you think is going to knock you to the ground.
"Oh My God…It is on!"
It happened exactly where the rainmaker was pointed. Not to the left or right, up or down.
There was more lightning along the bottom of the large cloud and more deep thunder but the show must go on. We must know the limits, within reason, of what this can do.
As it passed over Frederick, it was still strong, though there were not any high winds at any time. Just a scary light and sound show.
As it passed by Frederick, on the other side, it instantly started to loose power. The lightning stopped and the thunder was cut in half and then half again, and it wasn't that far away. And then it just stopped and there was a gentle rain for about 10 or 20 minutes.
This stopped and then started later and rained off and on throughout the night. Soft rain.
Later that evening, we cancelled the 3 day experiment after only 1 day. We missed our bright skies. And for that reason, and that reason alone, we are stopping all rainmaking experiments over Frederick 🙂
How quickly we become use to clean, bright skies and stary nights.
Only at the request of farmers, will we intentionally bring rain to the skies of Frederick County.
But we will tell All Farmers how to possibly "drought proof" their farms.
There was a lot of very valuable information gained from these two minor experiments, which we will share with America and the Public in General.
Learning from Failure and Success and the Success of others:
When we compare our Failure with our Success and the Success of the last incarnation of the Wilhelm Reich Rainmaker, above, we learn a lot.
There are only 4 Major parts to any real "Rainmaker"
1) The Hollow Tubes
2) The "Orgone" Source
3) The Connecting Hoses to the Orgone Source
4) The Transverse Assembly: that allows the Rainmaker to be pointed up or down and side to side.
1) The Hollow Tubes:::
These are the most important parts of the Rainmaker.
We think the first experiment failed because of the very thin metal used which just didn't have the material mass to be an effective collector of Orgone
The copper pipes had a lot more mass and thickness, but still took double the standard reported time to create rain, though still inside of the 24 hour time frame set by Wilhelm Reich. "You will have rain within 24 hours" he was fond of saying.
Most reported times are about 8 to 9 hours, sometimes 10. But never 16 hours. That's almost twice as long normal.
As we compare our final test unit to the original above, we see some similarities and a major difference.
The bottom rectangular box under the original rainmaker is a water filled Orgone Accumulator. It's metal on the outside (which attracts Orgone Energy) and the inside is filled with water that attracts as well as collects the O.E.
All the flexible pipes feed into it.
This is similar to our own very cheaply made Orgone Accumulator Bucket Assembly. Same basic concept. Water inside a Accumulator with metal sides.
The connecting hoses are similar also. His are Flexible Metal Tubing, ours are Flexible rubber tubing with a outer metal sheath or cover. The metal (non-organic) attracts the O.E. and the Rubber Hose (organic) collects it. This makes these type of hoses ideal for transfer of Orgone Energy. His could also have a rubber hose inside?
The Major difference is the Pipe Thickness of the Hollow Tubes.
Notice how thick the Hollow Tubes are on the original.
Pipe Thickness is the difference between success and failure with these units.
Our thin copper pipes were barely thick enough to pull this off. They were the absolute bare minimum size to get any rain at all.
So from here on out, all Rainmaker experiments and units will use Galvanized Steel Pipe. Same cost as copper, but 3 times as thick, providing much needed mass.
The original Rainmaker looks like it has double thick walls and a small 3/4″ or 1″ inside pipe diameter.
So we will start with 3/4″ or 1″ Galvanized Steel Tubing.
Also length makes a difference also. Longer range, more power. 7 foot long should work good compared to 5 foot.
Every time you see one of these units work, they normally start with a bang and quickly end with a whimper. The reason is simple, no one knows what the hell they are doing. This is all brand new to us.
Every test we have ever seen was just like ours. Someone props there pipes up on a stationary position and just points them at the sky.
But when the storm is created, it is very shortly carried away on the wind, out of the direct view or direction the rainmaker is pointed in. It is quickly out of effective range or field of operation of the unit.
This is the other major difference between the Originals and the copy cats. Wilhelm knew in order to get maximum rain fall, you had to track the storm, follow it and keep the Rainmaker pointed at the lightning or slightly ahead of it.
That's why all of his machines had a Transverse Assembly of some sort. So he could point and follow the storm where ever it went to maintain it's power for as long as possible.
Maximum Rain, Minimum Effort.
There are a lot more tests that need to be done. This should really be done by qualified people or some Good? government agency?
Is there such a thing?
But we don't wait on change. We make change happen.
Join us. Contribute to the future of America an the World.
Donate to help the True Democracy Party help this to be a better world for all.
The G-2 is just like the G-1 except you use 30 Gallon Plastic Trash cans instead of 5 gallon buckets. Everything else is the same, just more of it. It also uses 1″ to 2″ Copper Pipes. !.5″ Pipes should be perfect. 6 Foot Minimum height.

Fulton County man indicted in mother's killing
Published 8:52 pm, Thursday, September 19, 2013
JOHNSTOWN — A Fulton County man was indicted Thursday for allegedly shooting his mother in the head.
James F. Dibble, 29, was arrested July 2, the day after his mother's body was found at the Mud Road, Ephratah, home they shared. Neighbors called authorities after they hadn't heard or seen Gwenda Lisman, 58, for a while.
Dibble was charged with second-degree murder and faces 25 years to life in state prison, according to District Attorney Louise Sira.
"I know, from personally meeting with her family and neighbors that Gwenda's loss has been deep for all her knew her. One neighbor told me that 'Wendy was the glue that kept the neighborhood together'," Sira said in a statement, using the nickname Lisman was known by
In a statement, the victim's sister, Denise Barrett said: "On behalf of Wendy's family, I want to thank the Sheriff's Office and District Attorney Sira, as well as our close friends for helping to get us through this difficult time. We will never forget my sister."
Dibble will be represented by Gloversville attorney Robert Abdella. An arraignment date has not yet been set.

According to a 2004 Rolling Stone article, here is the breakdown of the cost of CDs sold at Wal-Mart (which accounts for something like 20% of physical music sales in the U.S.):
$0.17 Musicians' unions
$0.80 Packaging/manufacturing
$0.82 Publishing royalties
$0.80 Retail profit
$0.90 Distribution
$1.60 Artists' royalties
$1.70 Label profit
$2.40 Marketing/promotion
$2.91 Label overhead
$3.89 Retail overhead
This sums precisely to $15.99, which is what Wal-Mart insists they must price a CD.
Which is funny, because I never pay more than $14.99 at Best Buy, and there's no way Best Buy is more efficient than Wal-Mart. And I hate paying $15 at Best Buy when Amazon will send it to me for $12 or less, with free shipping.
The Internet should make it possible for anyone to get their music to a worldwide audience. It's a big world, and according to Kevin Kelly, all you need is 1000 True Fans.
In theory, that's one persion out of every 6 million. No matter how obscure or ecclectic your music is, if you get six million persons to listen to it, at least one of them will enjoy it – probably many more.
How does one get heard by six million people? I have no idea.
The inverse is a fascinating scenario, as well. How do you, as a listener, find the music of all the millions of musicians of the world? The internet, in theory, should make it possible to find music of – literally – all sorts. But the dilemma of the global marketplace is that the customer gets overwhelmed by the choices. Particularly difficult is finding the artist you've never heard of but with whom you have an affinity.
The consolidation of the music retail business has made finding new music more difficult. The neighborhood record store has mostly disappeared and the big box stores like Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Target are interested in minimizing the "retail overhead" item in the above cost list, and the easiest way to do this is by limiting selection to titles which are guaranteed to sell.
The popular online music sources have lower overhead, and thus can afford to carry items which appeal to a smaller audience. But they have the disadvantage of non-organization. You can't easily browse 100,000 albums organized into a small handful of categories. There is much to be said for physically browsing CDs (or LPs) in a bin, particularly when you do not already know the bands. Album covers can be remarkably informative.
Paging through and clicking on search results on Amazon or any other online music store is just not the same.
This problem is not confined to music, of course. The information overload affects just about every aspect of the Internet. Sure, you can find information on a topic you know about. But how do you find information on a topic you don't know about but would find interesting?
It does not have to be this way. The internet should be a great tool for finding things. It's a good way to find things you already know about. Learning about new things is a little more difficult. You have to go at it a little sideways, and find internet "friends" (or more precisely their blogs and social networking pages) who share similar tastes and find what they talk about and link to. We call this surfing the web, and it's the cyberspace version of borrowing music from your friends.
The next internet killer app is (and has been for the last ten years, unfortunately) the Smart Agent. Smart Agents would do your web surfing for you and find things you might find interesting. You would give them some basic directions ("I like bluegrass music"), and you would give it feedback based on its results ("I don't care for Bela Fleck, though"). Over time it would learn ways to find things in ways which might not be obvious to you.
Google Alerts are close, but they are too much like a TiVo wish list in that they are strictly keyword searches. There are a few internet applications which take advantage of the great Collective Intelligence – Pandora and Netflix manage to come up with uncanny suggestions for music and movies. They can suggest films and songs based on genres you don't even know about.
I want a Smart Agent that finds news articles on topics I am interested in, movies on YouTube that I will find hilarious, musicians on MySpace whose music I will enjoy, and eBooks by authors I will love. And all of this needs to happen without specifying an exhaustive list of topics or genres I like.
But I digress. As it stands, the onus is on the artist to find his or her 1,000 True Fans.
The real question for a musician is, once you've found a True Fan, how do you get your music to him or her?
The tradition method, finding a big record label to publish your CD and distribute it to music stores, is failing. A label is supposed to provide money to record albums and promote an artist. The costs involved in making an album today are realistically quite minimal, so large advances are no longer strictly necessary. And for every artist which receives some promotion, there are hundreds who are signed but get no assistance at all.
So, who needs a label? Some big name acts may well benefit from the arrangement, but there are some interesting alternatives being explored.
Many of these have to do with trying to prevent piracy. Wilco, Flaming Lips, and REM have all streamed their albums online for free in the weeks before release. The White Stripes have gotten creative with their press copies, and The Raconteurs did away with them altogether for their most recent album. But all of these groups are still signed to major labels and will rely on $15.99 retail sales.
Radiohead tired a little experiment with their latest, In Rainbows, in their own online store with a pay-what-you-want scheme prior to the physical release. More than 60 percent didn't pay anything, but those who did paid an average of about six dollars. The rumor is that there were 1.2 million downloads, so the band did okay.
The fatal flaw with the experiment was that you had to decide what the music was worth before listening to it, and there was no way to go back and adjust your payment after the fact. I paid the minimum amount (zero) as Radiohead is a little hit-and-miss for me, but I rather like the album and wouldn't mind going back and donating $10.
If they offered a FLAC download, I would probably have gone back and puchased it again. It is no longer available on their web site, so now I need to purchase the physical CD to get a lossless version.
Trent Reznor took a slightly different approach with the latest Nine Inch Nails album, Ghosts I-IV. There are several options. The first nine tracks are available for free, or you can download the whole thing for $5. The physical editions range from $10 for a two-CD set to $300 for the Ultra-Deluxe Limited Edition.
The $75 Deluxe Edition includes a DVD of the multi-track files, and since Reznor has licensed the album under Creative Commons (Attribution-Noncommerical-Share Alike), anyone may may use the elements for remixes and other projects provided the result is licensed the same way. And if you pay for it, you get to download a lossless FLAC version if you want.
The Creative Commons license allows non-commerical redistribution, so the album is easily and legally available on the popular Bittorrent trackers, seeded in some cases by Reznor himself.
The guy who has the most interesting model, though, is Jonathan Coulton. A former programmer who gave up being a code monkey to become a full-time troubadour, Coulton has no label and sells his own music himself on his website, supported by a sizable cult following.
It helps he can write a catchy pop tune like nobody's business and has an amazing pop culture sensibility. And he hangs out with cool people like John Hodgman, Leo Laporte, and Merlin Mann.
Coulton licenses his music under Creative Commons (Attribution-Noncommerical), which allows non-commercial redistribution and remixes and fan-made videos. There is even a spot on his website to upload your creations for other JoCo fans to see.
This connection to his fans (in addition to making great music, of course) is what allows JoCo to earn a living from his music. He makes $3,000-5,000 a month selling music at $1 a song (or $70 for everything) when you can stream it all for free and give it away. He polls his fans to see who wants him to come play in their town, and schedules his tours around where his fans are. It's efficient and smart, but more importantly, it puts the focus on the fans and makes them active participants.

Sen. Bill Heath (R-Bremen) has released the following statement on the commemoration of Confederate Memorial Day in Georgia:
"On Monday, April 22, many Georgians across the State will pay respect to the countless soldiers who gave their lives to defend the confederacy. It is important to remember the historical significance of our nation's fractured past.
The "War Between the States" was unlike any conflict in our nation's history; brothers took up arms against each other and it was not uncommon for young boys to join in the war effort. As war raged across the early American countryside, both the Confederate and Union Army fought to preserve their unique heritage and uphold the values that shaped their identity.
The Civil War ended nearly 150 years ago, but continues to stand as a resolute reminder of how a nation divided by war was unified despite our differences. There is no greater reminder of our nation's reconciliation than when our country is faced with times of adversity. When tragedy most recently struck the heart of Boston, our nation did not cower and hide, but showed resiliency and solidarity in the midst of pain. When times of trial come – and they will – we must always remember that we are stronger together than apart.
Honoring the fallen during Confederate Memorial Day is a reminder of our country's unique ability to rise from the ashes and reconcile a war-torn past. If we don't understand the battles of the past, we'll be destined to repeat them."

Here's the final installment of this 'expert's' 4-part Bing Summer of Doing series. (Bing's got lots of cool stuff happening through Sunday, but since the word of the week is Giving, tomorrow David and I are doing the AIDS WALK SF, so no blog from me. If you've missed anything I've served up on this shift, check out the blogs from Monday (Giving), Wednesday (Unplugging) and Friday (Urban Gardening). Today we're talking Anti-bullying, so let's get at it.
When stuff comes up between real friends, they show how much they value the friendship by working things out. That can be especially hard when Friend A crosses the line (knowingly or un) and Friend B is upset. But with real friends it's worth the effort it takes to talk and listen and understand each other's point of view.
Friendships get damaged when stuff that needs to be said is left unsaid. Unexpressed emotions don't just fade away. Often they work like acid, silently eating away at a relationship's foundation. We start doubting our friend's intentions. We look for evidence to reinforce our doubts while demanding reassurances that our doubts are ungrounded. We talk about the friend instead of talking to him/her. If you're beyond middle school, you know this crap never helps. It only makes things worse.
Kids with the stickiest peer relationship issues are 6th and 7th graders. Their interpersonal challenges have become increasingly complex. Unfortunately, their ability to resolve conflicts in their multi-tiered friendship doesn't match the challenges they face. And so it goes in the 21st century. We communicate with more people, but the way we do it, through texting, chatting and tweeting, increases the likelihood of miscommunication, which leads to hurt, jealousy, betrayal, retaliation, AKA social garbage. Unless we learn to effectively resolve conflicts with the folks we like, we're not going to be able to stand up for ourselves with truly aggressive people, i.e., bullies.
The following question was asked of me by a 6th grader:
What do you do if your friend is bullying you and you don't want to hurt them?
Sounds like you're getting hurt by a friend but aren't willing to stand up for yourself. You've got to learn to be your own best friend. That means acting like you deserve to be treated with respect. This new self-respecting attitude won't guarantee respect from others, but it does mean that when people treat you badly, you let them know it's not OK.
You say you're being hurt but you don't want to "hurt" your friend by telling him/her to cut it out. I understand your hesitation. Nobody likes to be told that they're out of line. Your friend might get mad at you and that's never pleasant. S/he might say, "I don't know what you're talking about." In which case you're left feeling confused and embarrassed. Your friend might even accuse you of trying to "ruin" the friendship and may turn other friends against you. OR… s/he might stop and think about what you've just said and make some positive changes. That would be a good thing, right? But when we stay silent about things that are bothering us, the person who is 'bullying' continues to bully. Things usually just stay the same or get worse. But when we're brave enough to risk standing up for ourselves (or for others who are being mistreated) we open the door for change.
Back to the question from the 6th grader. How would you have handled that situation when you were 11? How does the question and my advice, apply to any of your current relationships? Funny how our middle school experience can sometimes feel like it all happened in another lifetime… to someone else. Or it can feel like we're still right there. sigh.

When Kristi Curry was hired in 2006 to replace legendary Marsha Sharp as head women's basketball coach at Texas Tech, it looked like a home run hire. It was a plum job in the women's game, and Tech looked to have got the best candidate available.
Curry had spent seven seasons at Purdue in which the Boilermakers were 179-51. Her 2001 team played for the national championship. In addition to two Big 10 titles, there were two Sweet 16 appearances and another trip to the Elite Eight.
It would seem that Curry had the pedigree to continue what Sharp had done for 23 years. But it never happened. For whatever reason, Curry never came close to reproducing the success she had at Purdue.
So over the weekend, she accepted the job at Alabama. The Crimson Tide hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since 1999 and was 14-64 in the Southeastern Conference under Wendell Hudson, who was reassigned. 'Bama plays in a facility that is shared with women's volleyball. It seats 3,800.
It would appear Curry knew next year had to be a major breakthrough year for the Lady Raiders. Losing four starters off a team that lost in the NCAA tournament's first round made that unlikely.
In seven seasons, Curry's teams made the NCAA tournament just twice, losing in the first round both times including this past March when the first two rounds were in Lubbock. Tech was 130-98 in her time, but more damaging to Curry's job status was her 46-70 record in the Big 12.
It didn't help she came at time when Kim Mulkey had the Baylor program among the nation's elite and Gary Blair had elevated Texas A&M before the Aggies went to the SEC. Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Iowa State had upgraded their programs too.
The landscape is rougher than much of the 23 years under Sharp, but still, the lack of success under Curry is puzzling.
Tech will likley never have the success it did under Sharp. The Tulia native, elected to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003, was 572-189 from 1982 to 2006. The Lady Raiders won the 1993 national championship, won eight Southwest Conference and Big 12 titles, went to the Elite Eight twice and Sweet 16 on six occasions.
Those were some big heels to fill. Replacing a legend, which has been shown time and again, isn't easy. But the Lady Raiders should be better than what they've been since 2006.
"A national search for her replacement is under way," said Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt.
I'm sure there will be sentiment to hire someone with ties to Sharp. There's a handful out there, but not anyone that would appear to be an obvious and ready choice. Krista Gerlich, a guard on Tech's 1993 title team, would have been interesting, but she left West Texas A&M last month for the job at UT-Arlington.
The search needs to be wide and encompassing. Tech is still a prime job where a coach has all the things he needs to win. It just takes the right candidate.
One thing's for sure -- Hocutt, hired in March 2011, has had practice in hiring coaches. Going back to last summer, Tech has a changes in each of the four major sports -- baseball, football and men's basketball.
Two have had Tech ties, baseball's Tim Tadlock and football's Kliff Kingsbury. One, basketball's Tubby Smith, has not.
And this one?

Fair ignites interest in history
Over 11 years, the event has grown and now has to turn away applicants. Local winners will go on to state competition.
By RITA FARLOW, Times Staff Writer
Published January 27, 2008
LARGO - In 1998, the first year of the Pinellas County History Fair, there were only 12 entries and three judges.
"This year, we had to turn students away," said fair coordinator Alan Kay, a history teacher at East Lake High School.
Students from 10 local schools submitted 75 entries in this year's fair - the largest yet - held Friday at the Largo Public Library. And more than 60 people volunteered as judges, including active and retired educators, college professors, city and county staff and members of a variety of civic organizations.
Students had to place first or second at their school fair before being selected for the county competition. The top two students in each category will qualify for the state fair in Tallahassee in May. Each state then sends its top two projects in each category to compete in the national fair at the University of Maryland in June.
Last year, the county had its best showing yet, sending five projects to the national fair, where a team from Gibbs High School won the National African American History prize.
Projects can be done individually or with a group in four categories: 3-D exhibit, documentary, research paper and performance.
Students this year tackled complex topics such as the "n-word," the Holocaust, McCarthyism and Watergate. They delved into subjects such as draft riots, women's rights and persecution of American Indians.
Hannah Stein, 14, got interested in child labor laws after she witnessed a young girl working in a nail salon. Through her research, she found that 246-million children work, the vast majority in Asia.
"I wanted to show people how devastating this is and how many kids have died because of this," said Hannah, an eighth-grader at Shorecrest Preparatory School in St. Petersburg.
Hannah said the project taught her a valuable lesson about global economics. "Children are a compliant and cheap workforce and big businesses love that," she said.
The strongest projects are those students are passionate about, said volunteer judge Spencer Briggs, a member of the Pinellas County Historical Society.
"They become an expert on the subject and an instant historian," he said. "They're educating the judges on the topic."
A group of teens from Osceola Middle School said they chose to write a play about influential black American women because they wanted a topic they could relate to. They also got a chance to educate classmates who didn't realize the Underground Railroad was named for the secret way black slaves were transported to freedom, not because safe houses were located underground.
It was exciting to shape their research into an original work of art, they said. "We wrote the play ourselves at lunch one day," said Nikori Bailey, 14.
Guthrie Cohen, a sixth-grader at Southside Fundamental in St. Petersburg, said his teacher helped him narrow the focus of his project on John Adams' role in the Boston Massacre of 1770. He spent about a month going through books, diaries, journals and Web sites devoted to the incident.
Guthrie, 11, said he didn't know anything about the massacre before he started his research, but was drawn in the more he read about it.
"When you get into this subject," he said, "it's really mind-boggling."
Rita Farlow can be reached at email@example.com or (727) 445-4162.

WILNO, Lithuania (Dec. 6)
There has been a renewal in the past few days of anti-Jewish assaults in the streets of Wilno by Polish Nationalist (Endek) students. Serious outbreaks had occurred here shortly before and immediately after cession of the Wilno district by Russia to Lithuania in October. One Endek was sentenced to death and another to 15 years' imprisonment by a court martial for participation in the disorders.

So back to the drawing board. Back to my "craft space". And let us focus on this piece of a wall. Two concentrated trips to IKEA and one trip to Lowe's for some screws has allowed me to work my way up this wall. Now I can properly display prints that are waiting to be sold or displayed at an event.
On to the next small space. The bathroom. Long ago, when I moved into this space, my artist auntie gave me two prints of her paintings. I finally found a frame shop I loved and could afford and had the prints matted and framed, but they've remained this way for far too long. That same IKEA/Lowe's trip and a bit of measuring here and there, allowed me to finally display these artistic pieces.

To Recap our lessons:
The first 3 GREAT PRAYERS
* I love you God.
* Thank You God for (fill in the blank).
* God, you are inside me.
Then, at the top of this lesson we learned about the Power of Affirmations...
* I can do it!
* I believe in God, I believe in me.
* Day by Day in everyway I?m getting better and better.
* I am happy, healthy, and wealthy.
* Affirmation Prayers are all created and said in the ?present? tense, and in a ?positive? manner.
With the first 3 GREAT PRAYERS you recognize that God is with you and in you. You?ve given Him praise and your love. And you?ve THANKED Him for the Blessings He?s already given you, and continues to give you.
We?ve also learned in our prior lessons that it?s not a matter how long or poetic your prayers are to God, but more importantly is that you should keep your prayers short, simple, and powerful.
We learned that the most important thing in praying is repetition - to pray without ceasing - and the easiest way to repeat and memorize a prayer is to keep it short and simple, ala, The 7 Great Prayers.
In regards to THANKING God, a big part of this Fourth Great Prayer is for you to be AWARE of all that God has already given, and continues to give you.
So many times we all get caught up in our internal soap opera of our own life. We get so focused on ourselves and our problems that we don?t see and THANK God for the blessings He gives us DAILY.
You will never be able to ATTRACT God?s Blessings until you change your focus. Don?t focus on you and your problems, instead, focus on God, his Love, and his Power.
Look outward towards God and recognize and give THANKS for what He continues to give you. Please, pause every day, throughout the day, to recognize and give THANKS to God for the gifts He gives you. Be thankful for the LITTLE things, and you will soon be giving THANKS to God for the BIGGER Blessings you?re asking for.
You will not get BIG blessings until you first give thanks for the LITTLE blessings. Thank God for sunshine. The air. Your pet. A friend. It?s not hard to do?.just look, and THANK! Give THANKS for everything! J
For you to be successful in ?positive? prayer you have to eliminate all negative thinking in your life. I know this is extremely hard to do; I struggle with this all the time. But I?ve found that the best way to breakthrough and switch from negative thinking, to a positive life, is to pray The 7 Great Prayers, always thinking and visualizing ?POSITIVE? outcomes and to use the POWER OF AFFIRMATIONS.
I?m always trying my VERY BEST to think and pray as though I have ALREADY received what I ask for from God. I ask that you do the same; you?ll be amazed at the results!
Don?t be ashamed to ask God for blessings. God wants you to ask. Forgive yourself of any sins of your past; God has forgiven you, so forgive yourself. You?re a GOOD person, so you deserve to receive Blessings from God.
You have to forgive yourself ? ?get over it.? Do this and you?ve cleared the way to receive BLESSINGS from God.
So here?s the 4th prayer that will start ATTRACTING incredible blessings into your life ? Health, Love, Money, Happiness, Purpose and a Better Relationship with God is all yours when you pray?
Here are some variations. These variations use two of the most powerful words in the English language, I AM.
When Moses saw the burning bush, he asked, ?Who are you??
And the answer Moses received was - ?I AM.?
Tap into the power of God and preface your prayer requests with these two POWERFUL words:
Even if you?re not any of the above, say and pray them anyway. As they say in acting school, ?Fake it until you make it.?
You?ll find that when you pray and affirm positive statement like the above, and you do it positively, with feeling, and enthusiasm (which in Greek means ?God within?), you?ll start receiving an avalanche of Blessings from God!!!
Whatever you ask from God, do as Jesus taught?
"...whatever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive."
(Mat. 21:22)
When praying, keep your focus on God "inside you." If God is inside you, his Holy Spirit is inside you, and it makes sense that He has the power to ATTRACT good things toward Him and You ? like a magnet attracts metal!
What can make this attraction ?not? work?
* Negative thinking
* A poor attitude
* Guilt
* Anger
Thinking negative thoughts minimizes and blocks God?s ability to attract goodness into your life. Forgive yourself. Forgive your spouse. Forgive your enemy. Forgive God. Release the bad and attract God?s goodness and Blessings ? RIGHT NOW!
Pray for God?s forgiveness, and remember, pray as though you already have received:
The Fifth Great Prayer
For an Abundant & Blessed Life
If you haven?t gotten the blessings you've been praying for, don?t worry. I?m getting emails everyday from those that are getting God?s blessings; maybe your turn just hasn?t come yet, or God has different blessings in mind for you.
So please, keep your focus on God. The best way to keep your focus on God is to pray the 5th Great Prayer, which is:
By saying this prayer everyday it helps you ?recognize? that God, His presence, and power is everywhere.
If you get so caught up on your problems - be it health, money, or a relationship - that your focus is on yourself and your problem when it should always be on God, you?ll miss God?s messengers and events that have been sent your way, by God, to help you.
God is always reaching out to help you and me. But many times He does it in ways that we just don?t see. By saying this 5th prayer, you?ll reprogram your internal radio station from WME (me) to WGOD.
Think about it, a radio or TV can pick up hundreds of different channels, but unless you set the dial to the station you wish to hear, even though your favorite song or TV program may be playing over the air waves, you?ll never hear or see it.
But when you pray this prayer,
you?ll be tuning into WGOD, and in a matter of no time you?ll start receiving blessings in abundance from God.
Here?s a famous story on how God is everywhere, always ready to help, and always sending people or events that will help you.
There was a man named Joe whose farm was located on the banks of a flood-swollen river.
There came a big flood, and the water around Joe's house was rising steadily.
Joe was standing on the porch, watching water rising all around him, when a man in a boat came along. He called to Joe, "Get in the boat and I'll get you out of here." Joe replied "No thanks. God will save me."
Joe went into the house, and the water was starting to pour in. So, he went up to the second floor.
As he looked out, another man in a boat came along, and he called to Joe, "Get in the boat and I'll get you out of here."
Again, Joe replied, "No thanks. God will save me."
The water kept rising. So, Joe got out onto the roof.
A helicopter flew over, and the pilot called down to Joe, "I'll drop you a rope. Grab onto it, and I'll get you out of here."
Again Joe replied, "No thanks. God will save me."
The water rose and rose, and soon nearly covered the whole house. Joe fell in, and drowned.
When he arrived in Heaven, he saw God, and asked Him, "Why didn't you save me from that terrible flood? Did I not show you my faith?"
With a loving but irritated tone God replied, "What more would you have me do? I sent two boats and a helicopter!"
Now if poor old Joe had gotten these emails J and said The 7 Great Prayers daily, especially the 5th Great Prayer?
he would have ?recognized? that God is ?everywhere? and ?inside? everyone (e.g., The Third Great Prayer ? ?God is inside me?) and that God was working through these fine people to save him.
So pay attention, God wants to help you, and He's reaching out to everyone on this planet, including you, everyday! God?s job is to help you and answer your prayers, and it?s your job to keep your eyes and heart open to those people and events God sends your way to help you.
Keeping with the theme of the 5th Great Prayer, and the mysterious ways God works, I?m reminded of the famous quote from Napoleon Hill, the 21st Century?s premier success guru?
"Within every adversity is the seed of an equal or greater benefit."
What you may think is a problem is actually an ?opportunity? disguised as a problem. So when problems come your way, and they come to all of us, look for the benefit that will come your way when you solve the problem.
And the way you find the benefit is to keep repeating to yourself the prayer:
I?m begging you to stick to the praying formula I?ve outlined in all these emails. I HIGHLY recommend spending more of your time in prayer.
Remember how Jesus led his life and the countless writings of Jesus praying. Praying in public. Praying with his disciples. Praying in private.
Pray as Jesus did. He didn't pray long rambling prayers that had to be memorized. He instead prayed from his heart. He kept his prayers short and simple and full of love. If you?re too busy trying to ?memorize? a prayer, you?re not incorporating your ?heart and soul? into your prayer. God doesn?t want mindless memorization. He wants your full attention, your full heart and soul. The easiest, best, and most POWERFUL way to do this is to?
K.I.S.S. (keep it sweetly simple)
Why are these prayers so great? Again I say, because they cover the 7 most important aspects of God, prayer, and their ability to attract God?s blessings. They are short, simple and POWERFUL, and they attract blessings to you like a magnet. On one condition?
You repeat them with love in your heart, EVERYDAY, for the rest of your life!
What makes the McDonald?s franchises so successful? Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald?s created a K.I.S.S. formula for making great hamburgers, that anyone could follow. A McDonald's hamburger tastes the same in New York City, as it does in Miami, as it does in San Francisco. Why? Because the cooks all follow a K.I.S.S. formula. I encourage you to do the same!
Again, I encourage you to write each of The 7 Great Prayers on an index card and carry them with you at all times. Please take a moment right now, and I mean right now, and find piece of paper and write down the first 5 Great Prayers:
* God I love you
* Thank you God
* God you are inside me
* I attract God?s Blessings
* God I see you everywhere
The first three prayers build the the foundation for the prayer that ?attracts? an ?abundant life," and ?blessings? from God (prayer #4). The 5th Great Prayer better enables you to get ?in tune? with God to receive His blessings.
Using the above 5 Great Prayers, remember, these are the foundation, from there you make modifications, personalizing each prayer to your individual needs, creating various ?Thank You Prayers?, and when asking for blessings, always make sure you ask in the personal and positive tense as though you?ve already received the blessing you?re praying for.
Added to all this is the lesson I already forwarded to you on the Power of Affirmations
* I can do it!
* I believe in God, I believe in me.
* Day by Day in everyway I?m getting better and better.
* I am happy, healthy, and wealthy.
* Affirmation Prayers are all created and said in the ?present? tense, and in a ?positive? manner.
We?ve also learned in our prior lessons that it?s not a matter how long or poetic your prayers are to God, but more importantly is that you should keep your prayers short, simple, and powerful.
The most important thing in praying is repetition, and the easiest way to repeat and memorize something is to keep it short and simple, ala The 7 Great Prayers.
The Sixth Great Prayer
For an Abundant & Blessed Life
"GOD BLESS AND I LOVE (fill in the blank with person's name)?
By now you should have developed the daily routine where you pray the first 5 Great Prayers everyday, all day long.
Again, one of the best ways to make sure you do this is to write the Great Prayers on an index card and carrying The 7 Great Prayers with you for easy reference.
With Prayer Four you learned how to pray to ATTRACT God?s Blessings into your life.
When you pray the Third Great Prayer it helps you to become ?aware? of the awesome power of God that is ?inside? you. This prayer again is?
Yesterday?s prayer was the 5th Great prayer, and that is?.
This prayer helps you recognize God?s presence everywhere, in everything, and in everyone.
Now that you ?see God everywhere? I ask that you incorporate the 6th Great Prayer into your daily prayers.
You see, if God is inside you (Prayer # 3), and God is everywhere (Prayer # 5), then whenever you see, meet, talk, and work with people, I?d like you to say the 6th Great Prayer, to yourself, this prayer is?
"GOD BLESS AND I LOVE (fill in the blank)?
Loving one another has always been one of God?s top commandments, and Jesus asked us to do the same when he taught us to:
Love thy neighbor as you would love yourself.
Now let?s keep in mind why you first came to my website a few days ago, you were searching the internet on the subject of prayer.
If you?re like most of the people that visit my site and purchase Prayer Power products you are looking for prayers to ?attract? BLESSINGS and ABUNDANCE into your life.
First, you?re not alone, hundreds and hundreds of great people, just like you come to my site, each and every day looking to attract ABUNDANCE and BLESSINGS into their life.
You can have them! But nothing is free, and that includes requests to God. In order to Receive you must Give, and the best and easiest thing you can give is your love for God and others.
When you open your heart to others, you are acting and living as God commanded you to do.
God will give you the BLESSINGS you request, on the condition that you are ?good? to yourself and ?others?.
If God is ?inside? you, that means He is also ?inside? everyone you meet on a daily basis. Friends. Family. Co-workers. People on the street. Any, and everyone!
And yes, even those you don?t like; those that have wronged you; those that may be your enemies have God within; unlike you though, they may not recognize that God is in them. God is inside them too. Though for some of these types of people you may have to look REAL HARD and deep into their soul to find God.
But before we get into those you don?t care for, or who have wronged you, let?s first do the easy stuff: give BLESSINGS to all those that you know and meet.
As for myself, I pray this prayer, all day long?
The first people I pray this prayer too is my family. When I wake and turn to see my sleeping wife I say?
When I say pray this prayer to my wife Tracey, I look deep into her soul and say it to God who is inside her - the same God that is in you and me.
I then say this prayer internally to myself when I see my children. Sometimes I say this prayer internally, other times I say it out loud.
SIDENOTE: I am a very verbal person. And whenever I talk to my wife and kids, I finish almost every discussion with the words ?I LOVE YOU,? and I encourage you to do the same.
I say ?I LOVE YOU? even if we?ve had a tough discussion and we?re not happy with one another at the particular moment, I still say I LOVE YOU. I?m saying this POWERFUL statement to both the person and to God whom I know is within them.
I even tell my co-workers I LOVE EM, and people that I?ve been doing business with for some time, I?ll finish the phone call with ? LOVE YA! I?m serious. I?ve done this for a good ten years now. And why not? This is God and Jesus? commandment to us. If you love someone, let them know it. It?s good for them, and it?s good for you!
Your spirit is like an active and flowing river, and the best way you can keep it flowing is by saying and thinking ?I LOVE YOU? all day long. If you don?t do this, and you repress this important thought and expression, like a **************** to a river, you back up all this energy, and this is not a good thing. Your love is meant to be shared, it?s meant to flow, it?s not meant to be kept within.
Back to the lesson and the 6th Great Prayer.
Now that I?ve said
to my wife and kids, I say it to internally to all that I meet. When picking up my clothes at the dry cleaners, I say it to the cashier. I say it to the toll collector. I say it to the bank teller, the gas station attendant, and I say it to any and everyone. (Not out loud, but to myself.)
When I say it, especially to those I?ve never met before, I look into their eyes, I look into their soul, knowing that the same God that is in me is in them. I say it to recognize God and to Praise God, ala, Prayers 1 & 3 of The 7 Great Prayers.
Are you starting to see how all 7 of The 7 Great Prayers work together? Do you see how each prayer adds power to the others? Again, this is why these prayers are so great!
Now let?s talk about saying this prayer?
to those that you don?t like and who may have wronged you. This is tough, and I speak from personal experience. At first I found this very tough to do. To be honest, I still have some challenges in doing this. Yet I know I have to if I am to be a true child of God, if I?m to do God?s work here on this planet, and if I?m to attract BLESSINGS and ABUNDANCE to myself and my family.
So?to those that you don?t like, and to those that have wronged you, still say this prayer. Say it when you see them. Say it when they are not around you, say it whenever you think of them, the important thing to do is ?just say it?!
God is somewhere inside these people, though you may have to look real hard and deep.
It?s not healthy to harbor ill feelings for anyone. A different twist to this 6th Great Prayer, when it comes to someone you may not like, is to say?
You're not loving the wrong doings of this person; you are instead loving the goodness in that person, the God within. Praying this prayer for them does two things.
First, it just may help that person be a better person.
Second, it helps you. For you to truly ATTRACT more Blessings into your life you HAVE to get into with God?s positive energy. Forgive and forget. Let go and let God.
As you start incorporating this prayer into your life, and as you start BLESSING everyone you meet, you will be positioning yourself to ATTRACT Blessings from God. For you never know through which person or persons that God may work through to help you in your life.
Dear Friend in Prayer,
Today's email is the last email you'll receive from me where I share with you what each of the 7 Great Prayers is.
(Please note, I will send you other emails on how to pray better and get your prayers answered; this is just the day where you receive the "final" and 7th Great Prayer.)
Before I get to the 7th Great Prayer, I want to first say I've really enjoyed our time together, THANK YOU for this opportunity!
As I've share these prayers with you and my other new friends, I've continued to grow on my personal spiritual journey and I hope you have too.
The emails I've gotten back have been truly amazing! Please, if you have anything to share regarding The 7 Great Prayers and praying, please send me an email; we both grow closer to God through this sharing.
And, depending on your prayer story, with your permission, I would like to share your prayer success with our Prayer Power members.
Please send emails to:
I've been getting lots and lots of emails where people have sent me their prayer success stories as a result of praying The 7 Great Prayers - I'd love to hear from you too!
Back to The 7th Great Prayers...
The reason you first visited my website was because you clicked on a link that said to ATTRACT BLESSINGS from God, you should pray ?The 7 Great Prayers? everyday.
I pray that reading these 7 emails has given you a better understanding of the incredible power of prayer. When you make praying simple, by using short, positive, affirmations in the present tense, that you truly can ATTRACT GOD'S Blessings into your life.
The final Great Prayer pulls together the other Six Great Prayers and completes the cycle. For to "get" BLESSINGS you must first "give," e.g., the famous saying:
?It?s better to give than receive.?
One of America?s foremost philosophers, Ralph Waldo Emerson, said it best in his famous essay on The Law of Compensation when he said?
?Whatever you put out into the universe will come back to you TEN-FOLD.?
So, if you want love, give love; you'll get ten times the love back!
If you want money, give money, e.g., to the church, even if it's just pennies.
Quick note here. There was a time in my life that due to a failed business I was completely, and I mean, COMPLETELY broke. I really had no money to give to the church; I gave just a few dollars, as that was all I could afford. But
in addition to a few dollars, I did give something more, something even better than money: my TIME.
So if your back is up against the wall financially, give your time. To the church, or to help a friend. Maybe it's just listening empathically to a child or friend in need, but you always have ?time? to give.
By giving your TIME, you are doing the 7th Great Prayer:
Many times we wonder what am I on earth for?
God has put you here to do good. Look, think, and pray to God for help and guidance on what you should do to help people and mother earth.
Age should not matter; at whatever age, you could, and should, find a way for God to use YOU to do his good works.
My children, ages 8, 13, and 15, give to the community. They are involved in the local Youth Group, help at church, and help family and friends all sort of ways; many little, but ALL important.
Tracey, my wife, does MEALS on WHEELS, delivering meals to elderly
shut-ins and is active in the church, school, and community.
As for me, I teach Sunday school to teenagers, participate in the Spaghetti dinners, and coach youth soccer.
My dad, who is 75 years old, works with Kiwanis raising funds to help children's causes; takes mentally challenged children bowling on Wednesday; and for years, after retiring, worked in the local Soup Kitchen and was actively involved in the Hospice program. He feels that being old, he has the time, and it's God's will for him to help others. And the biggest gift he can give is his TIME.
Young, adult, and seniors, can all find ways to let "God work through them to do good." And the more challenges you may find in your life, the more you should give of your time to help others - to let God work through you to do good. Do this, and you'll soon find BLESSINGS flowing back to you in ABUNDANCE.
I know if you?re like me, there will be a few, if not many, times when you wonder to yourself, what is this all about? Why am I here?
Again, as all answers are, it's to do good works for God.
It doesn?t matter if you?re young or old, you can find something, someway, to help others. Boy, I know from my perspective, nothing gives me more ?purpose? and ?joy? than helping someone other than myself.
So pray this prayer everyday, along with the other Six Great Prayers. And the more Good you do, the more God will send Blessings to you.
The blessings you'll attract won't always be, nor do they have to be, just financial or health blessings. These blessings can be something as simple as seeing someone smile at you, or give you a hearty "Thank You" because you just did or said something nice to them.
One of the easiest things you can do, to do God?s good work, is just give recognition to someone for some good works they did to you or for others. Yes, you should give God praise, and one of best ways you can do this is give your fellow man thanks and praise - remember, God is everywhere and in every one.
To Recap:
1. I Love You God
2. Thank You God for?
3. God, You are Inside Me
4. I Attract God?s Blessings
5. God, I See You Everywhere
6. God Bless and I Love?.
7. God, Let Me Do Your Good Works
As simple as it may sound, all you have to do, to have a life full of Abundance and Blessings is say these prayers to yourself, out loud, and write them down, everyday, the rest of your life. If you follow the other tips and methods outlined in the prayer emails and my new book, you will have a wonderful life, a purposeful life, and a happy life that both you and God will be proud of.
Earlier in this book I asked you, and I?ll ask you again right now - no matter what you may or may not think of what you?ve just read- I challenge you to say these 7 prayers, everyday, for 21 ?straight? days, and at the end of 21 days judge for yourself if these 7 prayers truly are the 7 Greatest Prayers ever written.
If you read these prayers one or twice. They won't work. Nor will any other prayer. The SECRET is repetition. And the power of repetition, becomes EXPLOSIVE when you pray, the same prayer, for 21 days straight. For even BETTER results, pray these 7 Great Prayers everyday of your life.
What's so "Great" about these 7 prayers? They are simple. They are Powerful. They are Affirmations. They are Positive. They are written and said in such a manner, that it's SUPER easy to pray for 21 days straight.
As a favor to yourself, as a favor to God, please, please, take the 21-day Prayer Challenge. Start right now. Start today. You?ll be amazed how quickly your life will change for the better.

At last a Fox story which is probably true – a Norwegian fox pinched a smartphone and used it to send an SMS.
According to Live Leak, Lars Andreas Bjercke, 16 downloaded an application on his smartphone which aims to attract nearby foxes.
Apparently the phone app attracted foxes by imitating rabbit sounds. This is opposed to the rabbit app which attracts bunnies by making the sound of a lettuce.
The application worked so well that the fox circled around Lars's yard for several nights looking for the tasty sounding bunny boomer.
Then Lars hit on the idea of putting the phone in the middle of the road.
The fox walked up to the phone. At first, he was afraid of it, but soon dared to get closer and smell it. Then it grabbed the phone and ran into the bushes.
Later, looking for his phone, Lars called his number and was answered by the Fox. Since one person was a teenager and could not speak more than a few grunts, and the other one was a fox it was not a great conversation.
Then the next day his mate cornered him and asked him why he had been sending him odd SMS's.
The message said: "I FRY o a0ab 34348tu åaugjoi zølbmosdji jsøg ijio sjiw." Tragically no one spoke Fox.
Lars still has not found his phone although he has seen the fox hanging around. Clearly he must have removed the sim or sold it on.

Light Rain
Martin Luther King, Jr.
CINCINNATI - Hurricane Irene is washing out plans for more than 100 Tri-State residents who wanted to see the dedication of the new Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Fears over the storm reaching the capitol over the weekend have forced those ceremonies to be canceled.
The parking lot of the New Prospect Baptist Church in Roselawn was where at least two busloads of people were to gather for the trip to Washington. If the ceremonies were being held this Sunday, they would bring as many as 250,000 people from around the country for the MLK Memorial dedication.
At least one other bus to Washington was scheduled to leave from the Church of the Living God on Forest Avenue in Avondale Friday night.
Those plans started to change late Thursday night as word started to get around about the approaching hurricane.This was to be a big weekend a lot of people at several Tri-state churches were excited about because the memorial dedication was coming on the 48th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech.
All the trips to the District were called off within hours of their scheduled departure.
One of the organizers of the trips is Victoria Straughn of the group, Concerned Citizens for Justice.
"I am very disappointed the ceremonies have been called off," Straughn said. "But I certainly understand why, you can't fight a hurricane. There's just no fight there."
So far, there's no word on when MLK Memorial dedication ceremonies will be re-scheduled.
But Straughn says another date in September or October may not draw as large crowds because it probably won't have the same significance for many people as being in Washington on the anniversary of the "I have a dream" speech.

Of the province of Louisiana no general map, sufficiently correct to be depended upon, has been published, nor has any been yet procured from a private source . . . surveys have never been made on so extensive a scale." Thus the first sentence from the set of documents submitted by President Thomas Jefferson to Congress justifying the American purchase of the Louisiana Territory.
When Robert Livingston and James Monroe asked Napoleon what it was precisely that they had purchased, he responded that the territory was that which had been retroceded by Spain to France. When Napoleon's foreign minister, Talleyrand, was further pressed to be explicit, he repeated that formula, and added that he hoped the United States would "make the most if it."
President Jefferson was energetic in his determination to maximize the boundaries of that new territory. He and Livingston were absolutely certain that the Gulf Coast was ours—what then was known as the Floridas. They hoped that the territory might include a chunk of what is now Texas, but that was hardly certain. Jefferson did send exploring expeditions into the Red River country of what is now the state of Louisiana, and would send Lt. Zebulon Pike up to the Lake of the Woods in Minnesota to see if that boundary might be pushed farther north. But the greatest stretching would take place in the far west—with Lewis and Clark searching for the Northwest Passage that would lead to the Orient.
The United States had to buy the Floridas—and did so following the 1812 war. Spain's claim to the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico was clear—no matter what Napoleon had said. The country would have to settle, eventually, on the forty-ninth parallel as the northern boundary. Yet what wonderful things might be found in that great northwest?
Lewis and Clark felt an immense responsibility to record their observations so minutely, so clearly, that any claim based upon their work could be sustained. It would be wrong to see the venture—the adventure—as a business trip. There was an important and psychologically sustaining romance about it. They would be the first American adventurers to view these new vistas. As Lewis explained to each tribe they encountered, we are on a "long journey to the Great Lake of the West, where the land ends."
Limits to the Louisiana Territory were defined by watersheds. That was a well established European custom. Determining the extent of the upper Missouri watershed was the single most important task they faced. The result was that they spent more time in what is now Montana than in any other area. Their search for the westernmost source of the Jefferson River nearly cost them their lives. They traversed the Bitterroot mountain range so late in the season that winter almost trapped them in a death cycle of fatigue, starvation and despair.
On the return leg of the journey, Lewis chose to explore the Marias River in an effort to establish the northern boundary of the Missouri, hoping it would prove to be above the 50th parallel.
The weight of responsibility upon the captains was doubly heavy because now their country owned the Louisiana country—and, like good Americans, they were going to make the most of it.
William Clark's remarkable mapmaking skills were coupled with Lewis's power of observation to produce a cornucopia of valuable information about an extremely valuable area. Yet even those gifted explorers could not encompass the precise measurements necessary to define the territory. Indeed, that was not accomplished until the second decade of the twentieth century. The area west of the Mississippi is now to be 828,000 square miles. General Horatio Gates, writing to President Jefferson, July 18, 1803, expressed a common feeling when he said: "Let the Land rejoice, for you have bought Louisiana for a song."
