Where did this guy go to school?

Anybody who has attempted to search up to 20 minutes. Knows there is no similar thing as a mobile phone directory. Mainly or any other web detective yourself research. To begin the web detective is just a bunch of free links expediently together. That's it. If you pay a subscription for a search engine as well the release of their money. Only one way to get the name and address of a cell or unlisted number. In this way is to hire a private investigator. It costs $ 40. You can also try locating cell or Data trace for $ 59 each issue. Note that these companies were operating illegally and still not being sued by the attorney general of Illinois and face a fine of $ 50,000 per violation. Injunctions have been placed by all major cell phone companies. Try it yourself, spend all day looking for a reverse number and see what happened to you. As approved and linked researcher I can tell of the days (not hours) online investigate you get what you pay. We search and other companies have databases of two years. I wanted to track down fugitives from bounty hunters throughout the day.




Can anyone tell me what this writer said? I haven't a clue.
Talib, who started all 11 games that he played last season, was arrested in August 2009 in Florida for assaulting a cab driver. The incident drew a one-game suspension from the NFL, but the charge was dismissed after Talib agreed to perform 15 hours of community service and attend anger management classes.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib surrendered to Texas police Wednesday morning on a warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the St. Petersburg Times reported.


He's probably angry because his parents named him Aqib.

Mila Kunis

No one I knew would watch "The 70's Show" and I don't watch much TV and if I do it's COPS, Cold Case Files, or Dateline. I like "All Worked Up" and "Southern Fried Stings"

I have never watched House, Lost, the Real Housewives from anywhere, Jon or Kate, any of the day time soap operas or any football, basketball, or any other sports game except for three World Series games the Giants were in last year.

But I did zcatch a glimpse one day of Mila Kunis on the 70's Show when I turned on a TV set once. I must admit I watch the show from time to time just to catch a peek at her. Not at all what one believes Russian women look like.

Milia is not in the same league as Jodie Foster or Sandra Bullock when it comes to acting or even looks, but she does have that cute factor down pat.

Goals

There are three things I'd like to accomplish: 1. To write something profound or important 2. to lead someone to Christ. 3. To be able to live off what I grow on my own property.

I have no doubt that I will achieve all three.

The kill team

A news story describes the kill team in Afganistan. Fueled by their haytred of Afgan civilians, five US soldiers decide to kill a civilian. It didn't matter who but just in a situation that won't raise suspicion nor have any witnesses. They failed in both endeavors but were not investigated or charged in that incident, at least at that moment. This group of five soldiers isnow accused of four murders and probably is not an isolated rogue group, or so investigators believe.

Some how we Americans believe we are above such behaviour but it is much more common and accepted that we would even like to think. We are no more moral than people of any other country and less so than many others.

Another, yeah, right moment

Lindsey Lohan wants to stop using her last name so she can distance herself from her father who was recently arrested. Maybe she is afraid his arrest will tarnish her good reputation?

Yeah, right.

Recycled stories

Homepages do it, TV does it (re-runs), and now some websites atre doing it too. I once really like to read Crime Library. Not only did they post stories about older notorious or famous crimes but they employed writers who kept us abreast of news worthy happening in the crime world. I found this helpful as I like to write and crimes people commit gives me ideas for stories and how to make a senario realistic.

TruTV purchased the old Crime Library site and promptly let go its writing staff.
Now they just recycle old news stories and sometimes they do post oitorials of related crimes such as attorneys in jail, movie stars in trouble, and sex workers who have lost their moral standing but there is no actually cover of what is really going on. As much crime as there is in the world, one would think a reader didn't have to read the same old stuff over and over.

First Day of Spring

Today is the first full day of spring for this year and I'm going to be putting some seeds in the ground. I'll wait a few weeks for my tomato plants but most of my vegatable and flower seeds will be planted today. I'm up early at four in anticipation. (Actually sleeping till 4 am is sleeping in for me. I'm normally up by three)

I am waiting for my pampas grass to arrive. No, I'm not planting it beside my driveway as many others have. Such actions cause accidents because the plants block everyones view. No, I'm planting mine on the backside of my water pond to block the view of my neighbors delapitated outbuilding with the tar paper shredding in the wind and flapping in the breeze. I have some other ornamental grasses to plant arounf the pampas once I get that into the ground.

One of my peach pits finally gave up its seed and is growing into a tree. I just don't know where to plant it.

I also have six or eight fugi apple trees started from seed (I only needed one ) so I'm not sure what to do with the excess there.

I will be more cautious with my hibiscus trees this year. I sat them out too earloy last year and between the frost and the drought they just didn't have a chance. This year they will stay inside until they are large enough and strong enough to survive most anything.

The hardest part about growing stuff for me is the part where the instructions say to "thin" the plants. I find that so cold and callous and its hard for me to intentionally take the life of a plant like that. I know that may be silly but maybe the people who talk to plants will better understand.

Maybe the plants cand sense I care because people say I can grow anything anywhere. I wish that were true but I have been known to place a piece of broken plant into the ground and grow another plant. sometime I end up with just a piece of dead vegatation but one never knows.

But anyway, I sure hope you enjoy your first day of spring, even if you have to work today.

facebook

I resisted for the longest time getting a face book account and now that I have one I seldom check in at the site. I posted the picture of myself cleaning my pond and put my name on it and that's about it.

Every month or so when I check the site I find that it has been busy with friends chatting back and forth, celebrating birthdays, and having babies and returning from Iraq and participating in various church activities.

It is a good bunch of people on my face book page.

Spring Revival and Spiritual Renewal

Rev. Charles Garrett, Pastor, One Way Baptist




A new spring is dawning bringing in a freshness that has been missing during the cold winter months. People stir, anxious to be outside, working the soil, planting, growing, becoming one with nature. The apple tree, the mighty oak, the beautiful dogwood tree, come to life and the tulip bulbs push their heads from the cold hard soil into the newly warm air. It is a time for renewing of life.

While drinking in the wonders of nature, it is important to remember the important things of life like family and friends and the God that put His blessings on this great nation. At One Way Baptist, we are celebrating this renewal with a spring revival. It is our way of celebrating a new season, of rekindling our spirit of thankfulness, and reminding ourselves of the things that are truly important. Come celebrate the rekindling with us with guest pastor Rev. W. A. Seawell, Jr. from Hilltop Baptist of Thomasville, NC.

Rev. Seawell is a much sought after speaker and One Way is fortunate to have him for our services









What: Revival

When: Starting April 10, 2011 at six o'clock and running nightly starting at 7:OO p.m.

Where:. One Way Baptist Church, 604 Sunset St. (off Stout St) Randleman, NC 27317

For more information spiritual guidance or counseling, contact Pastor Charles Garrett 687-3079

Tamra Barney from 'Real Housewives of OC' Got Roofied by a Fan

The truth is that they probably got wasted and passed out and thought it would be a convenient cover story to blame it on a fan and a date rape drug. They have no proof that there was additives to their drinks.

Missing in action

I haven't checked in with the Troublemaker in well over a year and for some reason i was thinking about him the other day soI decided to check out his blog tonight. It seems he hasn't been on it since I last was. Some of the comments had been delected that might have given me a clue to what happened to him. ..I know he had just moved to Glenwood and was blogging about getting the place cleaned up.

Nothing has changed, at least not for the better.

Ben Holder, where are you?

Lincoln's real views on black people

It doesn't really matter now. He signed legislation abolishing slavery in the United States and it his his actions that count. sometimes what a person does as a leader does not always coincide with their personal views. Sometimes a person just knows something is wrong but because of prevailing views at the time maybe does not appreciate the fullness of all thatr is wrong with the popular view, or maybe he was just reying to figure out a way that was best for peace for all concerned.

But like I said, it doesn't matter now. He did what he did, it can't be undone, it was the right thing to do no matter what the motivations were for doing it, and that should be the end of the story. Sometimes it takes a lot of guts to do the right thing. It cost Lincoln his life.

Teachers wonder, why the scorn?

I've had some good teachers but just a few. Mrs. smith and Mrs. McQuire, my first anf sixth grade teachers were outstanding. Mr. Caldwell, my eighth grade teacher was a saint.

Miss Hefner/Mrs. Carlisle/Miss Hefner, my seveth grade teacher was the devil's wife and so mean he couldn't stand her. Oh, and let's not forget Mr. Jones would litterally kicked my ass while I was drinking from a water fountain and broke one of my teeth.

There have been a couple of other good teachers like Mr. Hefner (no relation to my seveth grade teacher) who taught ninth grade English. My only problem with him is that he made fun of me for reading Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer in front of the whole class. My junior year math teacher was a good teacher and was my senior year math teacher.

My second grade teacher wasn't good at her job, or at least didn't seem so to me and most of the others are non-memorable except for Mr. Barrett, my junior year science teacher. I'm not saying he was good or bad but he did seem to like me better than I liked him.

And then there was this Dean at Sam Houston State college (now University). I received my draft notice while I was in school and had to drop out and go into the military. The school informed me that I would be issued a final grade based on my current average since the semester was almost complete but one Dean was livid and said I had to take a test in order to receive a grade.

He handed me a technical manuel 5,000 pages long, gave me two days to read the book, and was to take a 100 question essay exam and would receive the grade for the semester based wholly on that test score.

After serving my country for four years I wanted to return to scholl and finish that degree but was blocked from doing so by that very same professor who still held a grudge because I had talked to the dean who overrulled his decision about that ridiculous teat.

I've meet many a teacher who had a poor command of the English language and what is happening in New York is beyond mind boggling. There are over 4,000 teachers not allowed to teach but who can't be fired because of union rules. In this economic crises NY is going to have to let go several thousand teachers but it can't be the ones who aren't allowed to teach but will come from the ranks of the most recently hired.

I understand the need for certain protections. The tenture system was set up to allow a teacher the freedom to say things that a nontentured teacher who probably get fired for but I just don't believe a tenure should allow a professor or teacher to do weird things and excape discipline.

If schools and teachers did a good job, then why is our educational system lagging behind many other countries?

Still too cold

I'm anxious to get my pond fixed for the upcoming warm season but it's still too cold and windy and dry to work on it. To fill the pond with water is expensive plus it is far better to let mother nature refill it for me--better for the fish, that is. I have to take the net off, pull out all the plants, drain the pond, pull the liner out, put carpet in the bottom once the pond bottom dries out, put water in the pond to hold the liner in place, secure the top of the line with rocks, put the plants back in and hope that it rains right afterwards to at least get enough water in the pond for the large fish to survive in.

It's not an easy job especially for one guy to do. It makes it difficult to get the line smooth and the pond level so it fill up correctly, which was a big problem last year.

The waterfall mound is fill in and should be very pretty this year. Had a bull frog singing out there yeasterday and my fish are becoming active. Hopefull I'll have the right combination of time, temperature, and rain to finish the job quickly and correctly this time.
