Look out for this!

My daughter just got home from work and told me that a deputy came to the store at which she works and advised her supervisor to have all of the employees exercise caution and be on the look out for a white or gray van or SUV being occupied by two black males and a white female that had just robbed two stores in Salisbury at gunpoint. Although the vehicle description was vague, it was an excellent job of getting the word out on any vehicles acting suspiciously that fit a general description. Be careful people, I imagine it's going to get worse before it gets better.

NASCAR NEWS...Jeff Gordon fires his entire pit crew.......

This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of the government's program to employ Harlem youngsters.

The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars worth of high tech equipment.

It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management team as most races are won or lost in the pits.

However-Gordon got more than he bargained for! At the crew's first practice session, not only was the Inexperienced crew able to change all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold the car to Dale Jr. for 10 cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.

Don't shoot the messenger, it's a joke.

SPD Dispatcher Refuses To Send Officer


An elderly woman called the SPD around 2:30 PM today to ask if an Officer could come to her location and investigate something she felt worthy looking into.

The caller lives in Moss Hill and had found a syringe lying right on the ground next to her home. She made the call to the SPD and they allegedly said, just throw it in the trash.

Here we are told to stay far away from such said items as no one has a clue as to if this thing is carrying aids or what have you. I mean, how often have you come across a needle just lying on the ground? Did you pick it up? Would you tell you Wife or Child to pick it up? Would you tell your Mother or Grandmother to pick it up?

The quality of service offered from the SPD simply SUCKS any more and these people are being trained to give these kind of answers. Sorry, we know your taxes went through the roof! We know you gave us additional pay! We Are the SPD and we just don't give a sh!t.

Soon enough the Mayor & SPD will be handing out plastic bottles to the elderly like they give out condoms to kids. Here, you Idiot, PICK IT UP and put it in here. Now leave us alone, we've got fresh donuts some junkie just dropped off sitting at the front desk. There's instruction on the bottle if you need to know anything else. Oh, by the way, if the needle pokes you, DON'T CALL US, CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. The number is on the bottle too.

Why do you want to know why the Mayor's picture is on the other side of the bottle Lady? These used to be donation jars that were given to her when she was running for Mayor. She's not running again and advised us to put them back to their original use after the fine work she did after all these years.

Keep up the good work SPD!

NOW YOU KNOW WHY CRIME IS DOWN 7 %!

Yeah, a, lady, just get someone to help you lift the body and dump it into a dumpster. It's cold enough out right now to keep things fresh and we'll drop by, oh, let's say in a few hours to investigate. If you don't see us out there, know we'll meet up with the body at the landfill. 10-4 there lady? Thanks for being such a good sport.

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY !

In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized Days. The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,"Case Dismissed!"

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover,Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."

The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."

The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, Then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned.

Quote of the Day

"Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests". ~ George Washington (1732-1799)

Tekkies for Obama ???

Obama's planned economic stimulus efforts have been compared to those of former President Franklin D. Roosevelt,such as CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) and WPA (Works Progress Administration),in that it is meant to rebuild and strengthen our nations public spaces,roadways and other infrastructure as well as provide numerous jobs at a time when companies are shutting down and unemployment levels remain at record highs. In the process, it is hoped that our country will once again be lifted out of a crippling economic downturn and some prosperity restored. Many public facilities right here on the Eastern Shore were constructed by WPA and CCC workers ( Mr. Chevalier could tell you better than I which ones). Another of FDR's agencies, REA (Rural Electrification Agency) brought electric power for the first time to many farm families on Delmarva during that era as well, at a time when private enterprise did not serve them. Nationwide,valleys were flooded and dams constructed to power these forgotten communities and the citizens and their businesses prospered from it.

Now Obama plans to do for broadband internet what FDR did for electricity-make it accessible to those potential users that the private telecom and multimedia giants have overlooked by failing to develop and invest in their networks, and if he indeed follows through on this, he will have won at least one convert right here. Yep, he finally find a way to get me and other conservative leaning tekkies to "drink the Kool-Aid".....read on.

I know that for the most part,the private sector can pretty much do anything better than the government does but in the area of internet technology, private companies have done too little,too late and our country is falling way behind as a result. An article in todays Baltimore Sun stated that "The United States ranks 15th worldwide in broadband access". That is just no longer acceptable in the so-called "internet age". It may not seem like a big issue but it is one that impacts our educational and economic future.

I am by no means advocating "free broadband for all"-of course users should pay for it-but right now there is no access to broadband for many areas. We cannot pay for something we do not have. Users like myself have one option-Hughesnet-and while they do have affordable basic residential service plans, they are still prohibitively expensive for commercial users. There are many businesses and organizations that would greatly benefit from high-speed internet access and are not "being served". We really cannot afford to be left in the proverbial dust when it comes to information technology so despite my reservations about it all, I am also optimistic. It goes beyond being able to download videos and music and it is about time the issue was addressed.

Realtors Response to Anyone Talking About Declining Home Values

HISTORICAL MOMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER


A NEW CANNING HOUSE TOKEN SURFACES



I have collected canning house tokens for many years and the thrill of putting a new token in my collection never lessens. The tokens were used from the 1860’s to about 1950, with tokens from the Eastern Shore starting to show up around 1875. They were used to pay the workers in the canneries and oysters houses for manual labor and were redeemed for cash either at the end of the day or week. Before the child labor laws, children might work all summer, saving their tokens to cash in for their back-to-school clothes (usually shoes – the clothes were hand made at home). Tokens have also been found that were used to pay the pickers in the fields.

Throughout the years of token collecting, I have acquired many tokens through various means. Swapping with fellow collectors has been the most rewarding. In the old days, doubles were the bounty of any other collector that didn’t have them as long as they had doubles that you could freely select from. The long-gone early collectors that swapped this way are only a memory now that everything has a price attached to it. I still give away my doubles to new collectors that show signs of being in the hobby for the love of it rather than any monetary gain. By doing this, I have cultivated some new collectors here on the Shore, and made some new friends.

As a local historian, the knowledge of tokens is a nice addition to the knowledge found in the local history books. This brings me to tell of the latest token to surface. A local dealer called to tell me of three tokens he bought from a man and wanted to know what they were. They were thick red fiber, 24 mm, and had only the initials WFM incused on them. There weren’t any periods after the initials. The main clue he had was from the man he bought them from. The man said they had belonged to his mother. She worked in the office of the W. F. Messick Ice Co. in Salisbury. There is a W. F. Messick & Bro., Allen, MD, listed in R. Lee Burton’s book, Canneries of the Eastern Shore. It is Wicomico No. 57 and was in business at least from 1919-1922. Further research in Ed Kee’s book, Saving Our Harvest, revealed that W. F. Messick & Bro. is listed in the 1919 Canners Directory. The important piece of research that came out of Ed Kee’s book was the fact that the Messick cannery’s office was in Salisbury, the place of the W. F. Messick Ice Co. I imagine that W. F. Messick kept the books for the cannery at his ice company office in Salisbury.

So, with some solid research to back up my claim that the WFM token is from the Messick cannery in Allen, MD, I have added a new token to my Wicomico County collection.

This is a token that would have been a Maverick at a flea market if the information had not been available to go along with it. As it is, a good token with good attribution has been added to the list of known tokens. As I’ve always said about token collecting – a good hobby is one that you spend more time than money in accumulating your collection.

Suze Orman Gives Advice About Sucking on the Crack Pipe of Phantom Home Equity

Talk about being in complete denial of a bad real estate market, this realtard's income dropped from $136,000.00 in 2007 to less than $40,000.00 in 2008. She has a first, second and third mortgage (for the pool) because she thought that real estate could never go down in value.

These are the same people that were giving you financial advice telling you to make millions using "liar loans" to buy real estate you could not afford just so they could chalk up one more commission.

Roseanne Barr says Jews are acting like their Nazi Mentors by killing the innocents!


Today in an interview with Rosanne World Net Daily listened to Rosanne dispel any myths anyone might have about this last weeks fighting in Gaza. She said if the Zionist financed by their Evangelical Christian friends here in the state would stop acting like their mentors in Nazi Germany, all of this killing would end.

Roseann, brought up in a Jewish and Mormon home and is now practicing Kaballah. Is differentiating between being a traditional Jew, such as an orthodox Jew vs. a Zionist.

Orthodox Jews do not believe that they are entitled to a homeland because of their disobedience to God, until he performs a supernatural miracle that the whole world will see and know it was God who did it, gives them one.
Zionist on the other hand believe that they are entitled to the land that had one time been there own, but after their disobedience they were run out of the region. Until after WWII the UN set up Israel as a state. Doing so, took the people who had been living there (the Palestinians) and displaced them. Imagine, one day you are told that the government is taking your home and you have nothing to say about it. Palestinians had been living in these homes for centuries and one day they were told they had to go. If they did not move there homes were bulldozed. This was in 1948.
Peace has not been in Israel since.
Palestinian were and are understandably resentful.
Originally, the State of Isreal was much bigger, and they have given back much of the land that they once possessed.
But now the problem is the 'Checkpoints'.
Checkpoints are the terror of the average Palestinians existence. These Checkpoints are placed in key areas of the city that Palestinians must walk through to get where they need to go, which could be a store, the hospital, a child's school, work or home.
Reports of abuse by Israeli soldiers has become common place, and there are now groups of Grandma' s who are against the occupation who stand at the checkpoints to make sure the guards act humanely. They believe that young Jewish men and women wouldn't misbehave in front of their grandmothers so they won't be inhumane in front of these ladies.
In recent years men have been beaten at the checkpoints for not having the correct papers, one while on the way to the hospital where his wife was dying.
Pregnant women have been forced to give birth on the ground at a check point.
Children must pass through them to get to school and they are afraid to go alone, so parents go with them, and the parents are often detained for know reason when on the way back home .

Peace needs to come to this region. It wasn't until the formation of Hammas that attacks from the Palestinian side have become so deadly. Hamas isn't only relying on suicide bombers any longer, they have now developed rockets that go further into Israel. However, when Israel strikes back it often hits civilians because the quarters in Gaza are so cramped they cant go out into the field to battle. They liken it to having a war in downtown Detroit.
The fighting has got to stop. The casualties are so bad, last week there was no room in the morgue! With another 6 Children dead the death toll has risen to 318.
All with the financial backing, support and weapons from the good ole USA.

Our priorities are deeply messed up. I remember sitting in a church service and the plate being passed and the money was going to be sent to Israel. The pastor was quoting the passage in the Bible where we are instructed to be a friend to Israel, and therefore we shall be blessed. At the time, I thought what I was doing was a good thing yet now I question my actions.
Each and every human being should have a place to call home, but we can't call it home if we take it from someone else. Even if the Government says that we can. Because eventually one day those people are going to become resentful, and they have.
There are many many millions of Jews who reside right here in America, and we have been very gracious in giving them visa's. There is more than enough room for all of these folks to live together, but they have to be as committed to the process of peace as they are their Gods.

Go here to read the Rosanne article and feel free to click through the related articles on this subject. It is very complex and leaves everyone very uncomfortable if the wrong thing is said. but things have become very serious and the Granny's and even Roseanne are imploring the soldiers not to obey orders, of searching of homes in the middle of the night, or detaining someone for no reason or whatever. They just need to stop.

A LOVE STORY

Mary and her husband Jim had a dog named 'Lucky.' Lucky was a real character. Whenever Mary and Jim had company come for a weekend visit they would warn their friends to not leave their luggage open because Lucky would help himself to whatever struck his fancy. Inevitably, someone would forget and something would come up missing. Mary or Jim would go to Lucky's toy box in the basement and there the treasure would be, amid all of Lucky's other favorite toys. Lucky always 0D stashed his finds in his toy box and he was very particular that his toys stay in the box. It happened that Mary found out she had breast cancer. Something told her she was going to die of this disease.... in fact; she was just sure it was fatal.

She scheduled the double mastectomy, fear riding her shoulders. The night before she was to go to the hospital she cuddled with Lucky. A thought struck her...what would happen to Lucky? Although the three-year-old dog liked Jim, he was Mary's dog through and through. If I die, Lucky will be abandoned, Mary thought. He won't understand that I didn't want to leave him. The thought made her sadder than thinking of her own death.

The double mastectomy was harder on Mary than her doctors had anticipated and Mary was hospitalized for over two weeks. Jim took Lucky for his evening walk faithfully, but the little dog just drooped, whining and miserable.

Finally the day came for Mary to leave the hospital. When she arrived home, Mary was so exhausted she couldn't even make it up the steps to her bedroom. Jim made his wife comfortable on the couch and left her to nap. Lucky stood watching Mary but he didn't come to her when she called. It made Mary sad but sleep soon overcame her and she dozed. When Mary woke for a second she couldn't understand what was wrong.
She couldn't move her head and her body felt heavy and hot. But panic soon gave way to laughter when Mary realized the problem. She was covered, literally blanketed, with every treasure Lucky owned! While she had slept, the sorrowing dog had made trip after trip to the basement bringing his beloved mistress all his favorite things in life. He had covered her with his love.

Mary forgot about dying. Instead she and Lucky began living again, walking further and further together every day. It's been 12 years now and Mary is still cancer-free. Lucky? He still steals treasures and stashes them in his toy box but Mary remains his greatest treasure.

Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God. And never forget....the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care for us.

Updates From This Week's News

We reported a serious accident in Berlin this week and I came to learn of some new details I thought you might find interesting. The young men in the Navy that were speeding on Rt. 50 more than likely didn't know they had raced through a Radar Trap doing 108 miles per hour.

By the time the Berlin Police could start a pursuit these guys were well past them and probably didn't even know they were being chased when they crashed into the suburban at the High School.

On New Years Eve there were many problems in the City of Salisbury. I was told they had to close down Brew River because of fights.

I was also told that there was another major fight in or near Flavors of Italy as well. Funny, I didn't see any of this information put out elsewhere?

Wicomico Board Of Education Bans Salisbury News

"Joe,

What's up? I am a WCBOE employee and have noticed that they have blocked Salisbury News.

I guess they wanted to censor us from you. What's up with that. I didn't think you would be one to take something like that laying down. Yet so far I haven't heard a peep.

Sincerely,

A. Reader"

I will pass your concern on to our County Executive Rick Pollitt and the County Council and see what they can do about getting us back on line.

Two weeks ago Salisbury News was the first outlet to expose the armed robbery that put many local schools in lock down. The Teachers were highly concerned and wanted to know what was going on so they tried to access Salisbury News to find out. That is when many learned Salisbury News was being blocked. The Teachers then started ringing my phone off the hook and I was able to inform them of everything that was going on at the time and they were very comfortted to know what was up. NO OTHER News Organization had the information!

I'm confident the WCBOE doesn't want to be challenged by my attorneys but if that's what it will take to allow us to get back on line with them they can expect to hear from them by the end of next week if they don't comply beforehand. Censorship like this in an in educational facility is Un American and if they want to give me free publicity Nation Wide for pulling such a stunt, then so be it.

My guess is that the County Executive's Office is NOT aware of this and will do everything in their powers to reverse it immediately. If you can access the Daily Times, WMDT or WBOC, they're in very deep trouble.

Warning – Identity Theft Ring Targeting DelMarVa

An identity theft ring is targeting the residents of DelMarVa. They have also hit other parts of the country.

There are engaged in a cold call in what is known as a phishing scheme They appear to be targeting the elderly, the desperatre or the gullible.

This theft ring has been traced to Pensacola, FL, but there is no further information since the wheels of justice are backlogged.

This identity theft ring has been going on for well over the last two months

Numerous complaints have been filed with the Federal Trade commission ( Who is suppose to regulate this, but so far they have done nothing. Even though the exact location can be traced! )

Here is how to recognize the scammers.

If you have Caller – ID, The number will come up as “Unknown Name” or “Name Unavailable” ( depending on your phone service). It WILL show the following number:

850-432-3928

If you call the numder back you will get a recording that it is no longer a working number. If it isn't "working" how do they call us? and its a non working number!

If you answer you will get a recorded robo-call calling about "your credit card" but it never mentions what card, who they're calling,

If you wait and get a “live person” you will encounter a woman with a heavy spanish accent. Her pitch is that she can help lower your credit card bills. They will only identify themselves as “Credit Services”

If you ask her what credit card she is talking about, she will answer “Both Visa and Master Card”.

Yet she knows nothing about your account. If she asks for your credit card or account number, don’t give it to her. Instead ask “Don’t you already have that information?”

Typcially, these schemes work by them asking for your credit card number or the name of your bank and account number.


If you ask to be taken off their list, you will usually get a rude remark then they will hang up only to call a day or two later.

One person acuually got a little further:

“They offered to lower my credit card payments, as long as I had more than $3,000 in debt. Eventually the first representative transferred me to a floor supervisor. I asked where they were based, and they said Atlanta, Georgia. I asked if they could give me the name of their company, and they asked why. I said because you are asking me to give you my credit card number, so I'd like to find out how you are. Then they hung up.” - Brooklynite - Source:
http://whocalled.us/lookup/8504323928


While the following techniques usually work on others phishing. This one doesn’t seem to take the hint that you are not interested. The will keep calling about every other day.

This works for most theft rings

First, make THEM wait! I answer, and don't say anything. Just put the phone down and walk away. They don't like wasting their time waiting on you, even though some calls make YOU wait for an "available representative" when they tell you stay on the line.

Sing in the phone...Row, Row, Row Your Boat works like a charm!

Evidently, they also don't like talking to crazy people? Works a lot better than asking them to take you off their list.

My modem is equipped with caller ID. It can be programmed to hang up on any number.
