Help Me Out A Little Here

Good Evening All,

I want to first start out by thanking all of you for forwarding me the information that you do. However, in many cases I get e-mail messages with nothing in the subject line. Its important for you to know that if there's nothing in the subject line explaining the intent of the message, they get deleted right away.

Please don't take me wrong, again, I appreciate all that you share but I get hundreds of e-mail messages each and every day and I have to sift through them as quickly as I can and in many cases there's a link to something I have no clue where that link will lead me.

Because of a hand full of people who'd like me to open one of those e-mail messages with a virus attached, (I know, who would do such a thing) I simply reject them.

We are truly out to make a difference in our community, like it or not, love me or hate me, opening an attachment with a virus simply slows me down and that's not good. Believe it or not, I have several computers just for such an occasion but come on, help me out a little bit.

If you'd like to send a message and you have nothing in the subject line, know it's going to be deleted. Without ALL of you, we'd be nothing. My hope is that you understand my position. If you've sent something and it didn't show up, its because it didn't have a subject.

That being said, tomorrow I will have, (what I feel) will be a really cool Post about how I spent 9-11-11. I'm confident you'll enjoy it. Have a great evening and again, thank you for helping us each and every day.

Can You Imagine Nation Without Postal Service?

WASHINGTON-- Imagine a nation without the Postal Service.

No more birthday cards and bills or magazines and catalogs filling the mailbox. It's a worst-case scenario being painted for an organization that lost $8.5 billion in 2010 and seems headed deeper into the red this year.

"A lot of people would miss it," says Tony Conway, a 34-year post office veteran who now heads the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers.

Businesses, too.

The letter carrier or clerk is the face of the mail. But hanging in the balance is a $1.1 trillion mailing industry that employs more than 8 million people in direct mail, periodicals, catalogs, financial services, charities and other businesses that depend on the post office.

Pesticides In Food Linked To ADHD In Kids

Researchers in large study conclude that parents should buy organic for their children

Levels of pesticides commonly encountered across the country in food as well as around the home are significantly increasing children's risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and could be causing an increase in the number of children living with the condition, according to new research published in the journal Pediatrics.

"It's mainly exposure through food. Diet is the driver," says pediatrician and public health expert Phil Landrigan, MD, professor and chair of the department of community and preventive medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. "For most people, diet is the predominant source. It's been shown that people who switch to an organic diet knock down the levels of pesticide by-products in their urine by 85 to 90 percent."

More Ground Turkey Recalled Due To Salmonella

Minnesota-based Cargill Inc. recalled more ground turkey products Sunday because a test showed salmonella in a sample from an Arkansas plant less than a month after production resumed following an earlier recall and shutdown.

The company recalled 36 million pounds of ground turkey last month after a salmonella outbreak that federal health officials say had sickened 107 people in 31 states by Aug. 11. One person died.

That recall covered products from Cargill's plant in Springdale, Ark.

Hero Dogs Of 9/11

A Letter To The Editor 9-11-11

Joe,

I just bought a Sunday sun newspaper at Royal Farms as I do every Sunday for the crossword.It has always been 2.00 plus tax, today it's jumped to 3.00 plus tax. The amazing part of this is that on the front it says 2.00 but in parentethis it reads 3.00 out of area. I guess this means out of Baltimore area. It's the last one i will buy.

Lost Dog Yoda - Thank You

Hi Joe,

I just realized that both my husband and I only spoke with Janice when Yoda was found, I had thought David had spoken with you and told you how grateful we are. 

We truly appreciate the service you offer and are so grateful that Yoda is home with us.  He's really happy too, though he has some sore feet.  Where he was found was about 6 miles from our house!

Thanks again,

The Collins Family

The President's Old, New Jobs Program

Excellent summary of Obama's latest "jobs" bill.  As Einstein once said, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.  This proposal (there is no bill and no money to pay for it) is more of the same thing ...more deficit spending, more government jobs, more government dependency, more class warfare, and more payoffs to organized labor.  Ellen

Editorial: The President's Old, New Jobs Program

Leadership: President Obama's jobs program is disappointing, to put it mildly. Given our economic troubles, this heavily politicized rehash of failed policies is a slap in the face to 27 million Americans without full-time jobs.

In an angry speech clearly intended to rally his demoralized troops, the president on Thursday unveiled a $457 billion jobs plan that was touted as "new," but really just recycles past failed policies.

Looking at markets' responses around the world, including a 304-point nose dive on the Dow, his cynical message doesn't seem to be selling well. And indeed, it's shocking to behold a leader who, three years into a presidency, seems oblivious to the harsh reality of his policy failures. But that's what we got Thursday.

The new spending, the targeted tax cuts for some and the much higher taxes on the successful have all been tried before. It was called "stimulus." It entailed massive borrowing and spending. It didn't work.

And it won't work now. Take Obama's plan to give $4,000 in tax credits "if" a company hires someone who's been unemployed for six months. What business will hire a permanent worker for $50,000 a year for a one-time credit of $4,000? This is just plain foolish.

A new "infrastructure bank" and higher spending on roads, bridges and other public works? Half the $45 billion in infrastructure stimulus from two years ago for supposedly "shovel-ready" projects remains unspent. Now, Obama wants another $105 billion.

Then there's his plan to help homeowners refinance their homes through government agencies. Isn't that what got us into trouble in the first place?

There's lots more, like more subsidies for state employee unions. But conspicuously missing from Obama's plan is spending cuts. Since 2008, federal spending has soared 28% to $3.82 trillion. It's hard to think of anything else that has risen that far, that fast — unless it's gold prices or Obama's unfavorable ratings.

Remember, this was supposed to be "temporary" stimulus, a classic Keynesian injection meant to get the patient up and walking again. Now the increased spending — pushing outlays from the long-term average of 20% of GDP to 25% — looks to be permanent.

Obama's plan only adds to our $14.5 trillion debt, but the president is trying to put a fiscally responsible face on it. "Everything in this bill will be paid for," he insists. "Everything." Well, only if you accept that his promise of certain unspecified "revenue enhancements" — i.e., tax hikes — will be passed in the middle of what looks like a double-dip recession.

Even congressional Democrats won't go for that.

While delivering his speech, Obama surrounded himself with corrupt union leaders like AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and job-killing crony capitalists like GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt. Looking at this plan, it's obvious they're the ones who have his ear, not the real job creators — small to midsize businesses.

They tell a different story of how government can help create jobs: Get out of the way. Stop taxing them so much. Stop regulating them to excess. Stop meddling in their businesses. Stop printing money.

Stop spending money you don't have. Today, that's called "anti-Keynesian" thinking. It used to be called common sense.

STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY ON THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SEPTEMBER 11TH ATTACKS

ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 11, 2011) – Governor Martin O’Malley today issued the following statement on the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks:

“Today, we remember and pay tribute to the 3,000 men, women, and children – 68 of them Marylanders – who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001.

“The story of September 11th –  the courage, the remembrance, the renewal and what we choose to do with that – is also the story of America. Even amidst tragedy, there was a tremendous amount of beauty revealed that day 10 years ago – it was the beauty that is the dignity of every individual, the beauty of our own responsibility to be able to advance and protect the greater good, and the beauty that comes from understanding that we’re all in this together, that we need each other, and what we do in this lifetime does matter. On September 11th, 2001, we told one another that we would never, ever forget. And we won’t.

“Together, we mark this occasion of remembrance, renewal and resilience.”

We Will Never Forget

As we commemorate on the 10th anniversary of the terrible events of September 11, 2001, the pain of that day still remains in our national consciousness a decade later. Like Ronald Reagan once said, “America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.” I believe that the police, firefighters, and first responders who ran into burning buildings so others could get out, or the passengers who – rather than give up – dug in and charged the cockpit of Flight 93 demonstrated what Reagan spoke of when he described America and the American spirit.

Each year on this day we are reminded of these heroic acts and many others that occurred on September 11th. We are also given the opportunity to remember and honor the heroes and victims. Through our thoughts and prayers we keep their memory alive, and stay vigilant to never again allow such a terrible tragedy to occur.

Please join me in having a moment of silence for the families who lost their loved ones in the September 11th attacks exactly ten years ago today.

Andy

Welcome All! A shout out to some of our new readers, plus people like Nick and his wife, who are stepping up and getting involved. Hi also to some of the new people on face book. Please keep me posted on what’s up! Special thanks to my cousin Greg who hit it on the head, this is about YOU and if YOU want change you need to step up and get involved and be prepared to do what it takes to take our country back. Thanks to all of you who have stepped up!

Nice turn out to our Republican get together with our new National leader. Great ideas but the truth is it is really up to us to step up and get things done. Great to introduce our grand daughter to her second meeting. Remember next 9-12 meeting Thursday Sept. 1, Millsboro fire hall.

Received an email from my friend on the far left, I know you will find this hard to believe but he disagreed with much of what I had to say! Interestingly enough I believe we are closer on many issues, but yet a universe apart on others. Again he has walked in the government world I have not. He says you can not get the money out of the way on either side. This does indeed seem to be a major problem with all whom I talk with. Even my friends on the right say when you get there, there is so much money it is hard not to be swayed. Again another reason for people with Christian values and a relationship not just religion should be involved. So how do I feel we are closer on issues? Let’s take poverty and people who need help. Well the way I see it is many of those people simply need a hand up, not a hand out. Yet big government wants to continue to give them things not necessary like cell phones, internet, and computers. REALLY? Not to be redundant but when the church was the hub of the town then that is where people went for help. Now I know you think that was a hundred years ago but even our church does the same thing. We have helped people who are local to help build an orphanage in Haiti and have sent missionaries around the world. If our small church can do that can’t others? But oh no we can not speak of the word of God to these people, we need to separate church and state. Yet our founding fathers believed in the Holy word of God ,and it should be the foundation of everything! You see the difference in this concept from our position is it is not optional. Many on the left who say yes church is nice only believes that is a “part” of the answer. Where people like me believe God must be the foundation of everything and once we do this then the authority He has given us can be fully expressed by the POWER of Y O U! As the Pastor says, say oh me or Amen! My friend is correct, our leaders for President need to get more clearly defined, we the people already have our teams in the field at the ready. We just need a quarter back. We already know who the OWNER is….Just saying!

Health and Fitness News watch: Mid back or thoracic spine. You have 12 vertebra that make up this part of your spine. Now the transition of your cervical spine(neck) moving to mid back(thoracic) seems to be a very stressful area. You see when you do anything looking down such as reading, writing, working on a computer, falling asleep in a chair or propped up on more then one pillow. These are a few things not counting if you have ever been in an 8 mph car accident or greater! The nerves to the mid back can affect many areas such as low neck and shoulder pain, those nerves also go to heart, lungs, liver, spleen, gall bladder, and much, much more. So as a Doctor of Chiropractic we look for these misalignments and utilize a gentle adjustment. The common question is does it hurt? I have literally adjusted my kids since the day they were born so the answer is, no. Our goal is to help you look better, feel better, and live longer in the shortest amount of time without drugs or surgery. Now we are not anti drugs or surgery but our philosophy is to try the most natural approach first. Does it work? Well some of our biggest referrals come from orthopedic surgeons, as well as general Mds. So, what do you know they don’t that would prevent you from coming?

That’s it for now, will you do what God has ask? Help your country, state, town, community or family? Or will you do what you’ve always done and expect a different change? As always my friend that POWER lies within Y O U!

Gods Best in all areas of life,

How Consumers Are Coping: Layaway, More Gardens and Pet Adoptions

Consumer activity gives a good indication of how the economy is holding up, and here are five trends indicating that consumers are having a particularly hard time lately.

Buying “locally grown” for savings, not taste. Today’s New York Times traces the increased popularity of locally vegetables, particularly in rural areas such as eastern Kentucky. In many farmers markets run in cities, consumers are accustomed to paying somewhat of a premium for organic, freshly harvested, locally grown produce. Rural shoppers, by contrast, are gathering veggies from local sources—often, in their own backyards, or their neighbors’—as a money saver as much as for the taste or health benefits. The rise in backyard gardens began at least during the peak recession-era days of 2009, when there was a substantial uptick in sales of vegetable seeds. A NY Times story from 2009 noted that 19% more households planned to grow gardens that year, and 54% of people with gardens said they were trying to trim their families’ food expenses.

Whereabouts Of 3 Believed Involved In Possible Threat Remains Unclear

New York (CNN) -- Two of the three individuals believed to be involved in a potential 9/11 anniversary plot against New York or Washington are Americans of Arab descent who traveled to the United States last week, according to a U.S. government official.However, another law enforcement official said there is no evidence so far that any of the three individuals came to the United States or are here now.

"Nothing's really panned out yet," the official said.Still, authorities are operating under the assumption that two of the people have arrived on U.S. soil, and they have been piecing together clues gleaned from flight logs and manifests, among other sources, said the U.S. government official, who declined to be named.
