Passed Along by Police Department

Passed Along by Police Department Several things to be aware of this year...as gangs and robbers are now plotting different ways to get a person to "stop" their vehicle. Please send to your friends. There is a gang initiation reported by a local police department that gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the baby. Note that the location of this car seat will usually be beside a wooded or grassy (field) area...and the person – a woman - will be dragged into the woods- beaten and raped-usually left for dead. DO NOT STOP. DIAL 9-1-1 AND INFORM THEM... IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD. DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, SO YOU ARE FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF ROBBERS. THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY ROBBERS. PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.

Horses help loggers go easy on the land

By DAVID LEAMING, Morning Sentinel

February 16, 2010

THORNDIKE — The workhorse dug its hooves into the ground and pulled a 12-foot ash log up a hill and through the woods, leaving barely a trace that more than a ton of animal and wood had passed.

Pete Stratton of the Hideaway Farm in Sidney coaxed his horse Princess steadily through a maple woodlot at the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association in Thorndike last week.

Stratton and other loggers working the parcel are part of a forestry group that uses horses in an effort to reduce damage to desirable trees and prevent the erosion that heavy equipment often causes.

This is the 10th year the loggers have cut wood on the property, Stratton said.

They remove undesirable or broken trees,>>>

History Lesson:

History Lesson:

If you're old (as some of us are) and love photography (as I do), you'll enjoy these old WPA photos. Kodachrome had a few problems at birth, but within a year or two became the premier color film of all time. Nothing has ever surpassed it for resolution and archival qualities. Sadly, it has essentially died out and only one lab in the world will still process it, and then only 35mm.

The WPA was a good thing for America at the time, and because they paid professional photographers to document the program we have a legacy of photographs, many in color, that realistically documented that period in our history. This site (link below) is well worth a look if you like history and photography.

The name of the instrumental accompaniment is Vaya Con Dios. I don't know who's playing it, but it doesn't sound like Floyd Cramer.

Protecting Yourself from the Giant New Deficit

• FEBRUARY 6, 2010

For every dollar in debt that Americans have paid off since they started cleansing their balance sheets in mid-2008, the U.S. government has borrowed more than $7. All the hard work by consumers to replenish their piggy banks may be for naught if big government budget deficits play havoc with the economy.

Last week's federal budget didn't provide much solace. The Obama administration projected that the federal debt could double over the next decade, prompting Moody's Investors Service to warn that the pristine AAA credit rating of the U.S. "could come under downward pressure."

Investors need to account for the burgeoning federal budget deficit as they save for retirement, college tuition or homes. Uncle Sam's borrowing binge could set off a surge in inflation and push down the dollar, both of which would erode the value of savings. It could also push interest rates higher, hammering the value of the more than $1 trillion in Treasury bonds owned by households directly or through mutual funds. Income taxes, already set to rise, might have to climb further to help close the government's budget gap.

Google 411

Google 411 - Good One...NO, GREAT ONE!

Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this!

Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411 or 1-800-466-4411.

This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number.

I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed (1-800-466-4411). The voice at the other end says, "Say the name of the business and the City & Province." I say, "Kingsville Golf Course, Kingsville , Ontario ”. He says, "Connecting" and Kingsville Golf Course answers the phone.

How great is that? his is nationwide, Canada & US, and it is absolutely free! Works on cell and landline phones, all you have to remember is 1-800-466-4411. Give it a try.
