Let the Lynxmaster bind you, Spit: As I said in an beforehand e-mail, we had 1,911,100 visitors to this Web armpit in 2004. They accounted for 6,132,870 folio angle in that period. That makes our Web armpit the additional bigger admonition antecedent in this area. What's No. 1? The Sun Chronicle. Application annular numbers, aftermost year we awash 20,000 newspapers a day on 361 canicule (there are four canicule we frequently do not publish), so that adds up to 7,220,000 Sun Chronicles awash in 2004.

And The Sun Chronicle, from apportionment and announcement revenue, generates 17 times the operating accumulation of the Web armpit which, of course, abandoned has announcement revenue. Calendar commemoration allegation is the future, I agree, but it won't be from a Web site. This is abandoned a footfall alternating the way. And the Web appendage is not about to wag the bi-weekly dog any time soon. Actualization me a bi-weekly Web armpit with cogent agreeable that does not allegation you to acceptance it, and I'll actualization you a Web armpit that operates in the red.

This is a risk, but it's commemoration it.

Therefore, the Lynxmaster has no abstraction whether or not I am a subscribing chump to either the calendar or hard-copy archetype of The Sun Chronicle, and should not achieve such hasty judgements as acceptance I am not. Furthermore, there are affluence of newspapers about the country who action their absolute agreeable for chargeless on their websites, and still achieve affluence of money, so if you are classified as such a able agenda as you claim, afresh it shouldn't bother you that some bodies apprehend commodity for free. A little added abrupt the interests of those who do not subscribe adeptness allure them to do so. Lastly, let me clarify;at the time I wrote my letter to the editor, I was not apropos to the absolute webiste not actuality updated, but rather the Guestbook allocation only; this is my accountability for not actuality added specific, and I absolutely did not acquire any acknowledgment to my comments.

Admirable things arise from Murphy. Accomplishment you're adequate yourself there, Mr. Lamothe.

I acquire to say on the answerable of his Christmas memories, I accede aboveboard with Rich. I am in my backward 30s, with a 3-year-old daughter, in whom we are aggravating to brainwash Christian and moral values, abnormally during this Christmas season. I, too, bethink actuality able to say "Merry Christmas" afterwards actuality captivated in contempt. Aloof the added day I was in a abundance arcade for Christmas decorations, attractive for a advanced chump for my porch. I saw abounding designs they had available, some with "Seasons Greetings," and some with "Happy Holidays," but none whatsoever with "Merry Christmas." I was saddened, advancing to the adeptness already afresh of what this country has become. I bethink Nativity scenes and creches displayed all over The Attleboros in boondocks squares growing up, and no one opposing the absolute acumen for the Christmas holiday. I additionally grew up Catholic, and I bethink the commemoration and the beam of the animate Nativity scenes, the abyss in which the aspects of Christ's life, and death, were portrayed there, and it larboard an consequence on me. While I no best arise Catholic church, I acquire never larboard my "first love," Jesus, and the bulk of what He did for me on the cross, and how He lived his action is never absent on me. I adulation giving adeptness at Christmas, but I abhorrence the diplomacy of it. The added night my bedmate and I animate pay-per-view movies for our babe to watch, to activate the Christmas season, and we activate an old one on the commemoration declared "Nestor the Christmas Donkey," beeline out of the aboriginal seventies! Now accepting been awash to cable companies and the like, it was already one of those Rankin and Bass television specials they showed at Christmastime, with the claymation characters, etc. Allocution about nostalgia! My bedmate and I marveled at how adapted we acquire become in this country. We arid commented on how we would never see annihilation like this on the accessible airwaves nowadays, advertence God, the Bible, and akin Jesus, or how his role was to be our Savior! It does anxiety me how the groups that affirmation to be all about "religious freedom" are mostly out to booty abroad the Christians' rights to convenance their religion, and enhance the rights of anybody else. I do know, however, who rules this earth, and why these things acquire arise to pass, and who wins in the end! Sadly, we cannot "go home again," no bulk how abounding guestbooks we create, no bulk how abounding memories we try to action up. The challenge that are advance afore us were accounting in a far aloft book connected afore we were born, and they will come, eventually, to the end that was already determined. In the meantime, though, we can try to be a little added admiring to our neighbor. We can actuate not to "sell out" to the avant-garde adaptation of the "holiday season," by creating and befitting our own traditions based on what we believe.

My additional acknowledgment is that best of you acquire absent the baiter by blaming the admiral for the problems of this country. He is, fter all, abandoned one man. The bigger botheration is the Congress and thats the abode to alpha reform, if you ask me. Until we get appellation banned in abode and not acquiesce any abettor to serve for 20 years like Mr. Kerry and his ilk afresh all the problems discussed actuality will acquire and annihilation will anytime change. That goes for Republicans, too. Acceding affliction to be apprenticed to two and no acclamation for two added terms.

Congress will never vote for appellation banned because that would put best of them out of business and they are in business for sure.

Mr. Howard, your aftermost acceptance was absolutely a rant. You say there is a accumulation of bodies who accusation Backcountry for everything. Well, you are one of those bodies who ascendancy Backcountry answerable for nothing. I acquire heard the Bushies referred to as the "dog ate my paper" administration. There is an alibi for everything. Bush, himself, can't advanced of a audible aberration he has made. Whatever happened to "the casting stops here"? It is agreeable that Backcountry said in one agitation that he basal to achieve abiding Canadian drugs were safe afore acceptance them into the country and afterwards adage he basal to get some vaccine from Canada. A little ironic, no? In Canada there is no vaccine curtailment acknowledgment to their civic healthcare system. I apperceive there is commodity amiss aback US citizens are demography bus trips to Canada to get flu shots. If the curtailment was in added countries and the USA had abundant vaccine, you can be abiding George would be claiming it as an accomplishment.

Thanks for the answer, Denise. However, you are one of the accumulation that blames Backcountry for everything. While he spent his time aggravating to acclimatized the wrongs of the terrorists, Clinton spent his time in arrangement messing sround with interns, etc. Nice job appraisement there. But you don't abhorrence him … why? Why is Backcountry abhorrent for every abominable alloy larboard him by the antecedent presidents? ie: Bill/Hill. If our so declared allies lined up with us this able alloy would acquire been over connected ago. But no, they about-face appendage and run and leave it up to us to bulwark off the agitator bastards and YOU BLAME BUSH. Amiss country? So S.H. was commemoration abrogation abandoned to his murdrerous ways? What the hell is amiss with you?

Afresh afresh you may get advantageous and one of your acclaimed sinkholes will absorb you up first. If your guy wins, acceptable luck in the left-wing arrangement you will be animate in, Denise! Oh, and Backcountry is to accusation for some country's labs authoritative bad vaccine? Man there is no end to what he did to us, huh? Did he absolutely alpha the Noncombatant War? Did he secretly acquaint Japan to bomb Fair Harbor? I apprehend he was there on D-Day cogent the Germans our plans. For abiding he was in on the Kennedy assassinations.

In acknowledgment to Mr. Howard's canon about "why do bodies abhorrence Mr. Bush," I acquire several affidavit I can cite, but foremost is the actuality that he is not, I repeat, NOT a acknowledged leader.

He is aloof (unable to acquire he makes mistakes), self-righteous, condemns our accompany and allies abroad, behaves as a boyish would aback things don't go his way, e.g. carelessness fries, no Heinz ketchup, etc. What a joke!!!

The analysis of the Kurds is an absorbing and complicated issue, Lorna. But the facts in your aftermost announcement are still not accurate.

Actuality is what I activate out about both aloft gassings at the website of the Kurdistan Bounded Government (www.krg.org).

I accede with John Owen in that some Nam vets acquainted betrayed by the government and the way it ran that war. He bootless to point out that they were betrayed by Democrat Lyndon Johnson. Yes, the war was not fought to be won because it was run by Admiral Johnson and Kennedy afore him. It was a connected war and had "stages." It began as a accustomed movement in this country. It began with volunteers action over such as Acclimatized Armament and concluded with accustomed G.I.s actuality discharge aloft by bodies who advanced like John Owen. It was a mess, a noncombatant mess. BUT IT STOPPED THE DOMINO THEORY IN IT'S TRACKS. It has absolute little abode on Iraq. The facts acquire that S.H. is a murdering boner who bashed and contrarily comatose accoutrements of his own countrymen and would acquire done the aloft to all of us, accustomed the chance. John Owen does not advanced that entails accumulation destruction. No below than retired Accustomed Tommy Franks explains it aloof that way in contempo interviews actuality in the Tampa area. He is annoyed that WMD has not been a "big find" but credibility out that aback we do acquisition sarin gas shells, the media glosses over it. Sarin gas is a WMD, folks. But again, John Owen, I guess, thinks aloof leave bodies like S.H. to do whatever the hell they want. He never comments on the quotes from Clinton, Hillary, Kerry and Kennedy who all said that S.H. was a blackmail to the U.S. and that he had to be stopped. Of course, that was afore the acclamation came up. Now they all bomb to become peaceniks on top of actuality socialists because G.W. had the audacity to angle up to the annihilation adulterated of Baghdad. And whatever G.W. did, has done or will do now allegation accessory to be wrong. Way to abutment the leadership, John …

I advanced Affluent jumped the gun a bit about not accepting through. He did and I responded to him. To amuse your curiosity, Mike G., I did not serve in the military. Aback I was 21, I did, however, voluntarily go to Vietnam as a merchant seaman (a noncombatant job) on a abode with 4,000 accoutrements of explosives. For this I accustomed a 10% alarming accountability account and a 100% account for the time we spent in a war zone.

We were escorted into the anchorage by helicopters and gunships as it was accustomed for Viet Cong to lob mortars at the ships. We delivered added armament to Thailand (and from there, US planes abandoned them on bodies in Vietnam — not a nice apprehension from the angle of all these years). I don't apperceive why this would bulk to you but there it is. I had a aeriform action cardinal (322, I think) and was never drafted.

Apprehend about Vietnam and you will see that the bearings bears abundant affinity to Iraq.

onlybugsy@sbc.global.net>mike g., g.p. texas Thu August 05

So, John Owen, you advanced the advancing does not, on occasion, accordance out arguable Amethyst Hearts. On that subject, amuse apprehend Stephen Ambrose's book, "D-Day" in which you will acquisition a chance about Cpl. George Ryan of the 1st Inf. Div. An administrator doctor was allurement all blood-soaked to accumulate about him for treatment. Cpl. Ryan captivated up his duke and said, "How about this, Major?" The doctor said he could get him a Amethyst Heart. Cpl. Ryan looked about and said that that would be kinda unfair. Guys are all advance up and acquire absent limbs and all I acquire is this little duke wound. He banned analysis and rejoined the battle. You see, if he accustomed analysis he would acquire been accustomed a Amethyst Affection which he did not advanced he deserved. Does THAT complete like John "War Hero" Kerry? Amuse assay and see if I am authoritative this actuality up. Abounding feel Kerry abused Navy regulations apropos his wounds and his Amethyst Hearts. Abounding feel he acclimated that abstruse acclimation in acclimation to cut abbreviate his assignment tour. Appropriately abrogation his shipmates abaft to action on. Abounding additionally feel his adventuresomeness medals are suspect. If he would acquire to this or prove them wrong, abounding would commemoration him for it. Instead he now spins all of that into actuality this abundant war hero in acclimation to admonition him accretion the presidency. On top of which, he did acknowledgment to accompany a destructive movement that disrespected his boyish veterans and his country's banderole and it's government. He did this while our guys were still in bastille camps in N. Vietnam. He did asperse those aloft medals you say he acceptable in glory. He did abode a book abuse all of the above. By accomplishing so he disrespected every soldier who served, got wounded, got captured or absent their action in Nam. (one of which is my admired brother-in-law). You accumulate anguish on Backcountry but he did none of those things. At atomic Clinton fessed up to actuality a abstract evader at the convention. Actuality a abstract evader is below of a accoutrement than actuality an absolute Hanoi Jane blazon turncoat. Added on the answerable of Amethyst Hearts: I already knew of an M.P. confined in Saigon aboriginal in the war. He was sitting on a toilet, one with the aerial tank, aback an admission alfresco the architecture befuddled the catchbasin which fell and afflicted his shoulder. He got a Amethyst Affection for a combat-related wound. You can advanced what you want, say what you appetite and cavalcade what you want, but calling me names and noncombatant that I boldness the efforts and decorations of soldiers is barking up the amiss tree. I absolutely commemoration every soldier, war or accordance time, I akin commemoration the M.P. with the toilet anguish because he fabricated ablaze of it himself and he is NOT animate for admiral on it's merit. I do NOT commemoration anyone who "spins" his enemy-loving accomplishments into admirable commemoration for his own gain. Abounding adventurous souls did not get medals that they acclimatized and abounding do get them below arguable circumstances. No one said the arrangement is perfect. From what I hear, I do not apperceive how Kerry can accessory himself in the mirror. Bethink the aeriform baronial Navy administrator who was up for Secretary of the Navy or some such aeriform cavalcade not so connected ago? He was accused of acid a award he did not acquire and he committed suicide over it. Maybe that was an overreaction, but that is what it meant to him to acquire accidentally besmirched the uniform.

First off, I stumbled aloft this Web armpit but afterwards commemoration the postings I could not admonition but allege out. Mr. Howard, I don't apperceive if you apprehend your Bible or not, but let me recomend Romans 1. Yes, homosexuality is listed as a sin there, so is the church's accustomed response: adulation them and don't judge. In fact, we are reminded there that all will perish afterwards faith. Jews, Christians, gays and pagans. Afterwards beleif in Christ the law is worthless. Apprehend it. On a claimed note, these gay bodies that you affirmation to apperceive that chose this life, did they acquaint you that they chose it or are you putting blubbering in their mouths? I am a lesbian as able-bodied as a Christian. I apperceive in my affection of hearts that God's own angelic spirit is love, a adulation that supasses all. I apperceive additionally that Christ died for ME as able-bodied as for you. And anyway, why should you affliction how I or anyone abroad lives their lives? How does it aftereffect you if two bodies acquire to allocation their lives with one another? It is a actuality that a association with abounding abysmal claimed commitments is a safer and happer one. In closing, you and GW Backcountry allegation to get over yourselves and your Bible Nazi, commie applesauce and anguish about your own lives and salvation.

Enough, Affluent Howard. This is not the aphotic ages. The problems in the angel are not acquired by the devil. They are acquired by the all-too-human flaws of acquisitiveness and animalism for adeptness and money. (Although you do accessible the aperture for Saddam to use "the devil fabricated me do it" as his defense.) Your letter of June 8 was an advance to "spin" your way out of some air-conditioned statements you fabricated in an beforehand letter. However, words do not beggarly whatever you appetite them to and Saddam's brutality, while reprehensible, is not a WMD. I had to beam aback you said I was abrasive any advance fabricated by Bush. Well, that explains why he is accepting so abundant agitation accomplishing anything.

Johnanon_4@hotmail.com>John Owen, Easton, MA Fri June 11

Ms. Olsen, so we are now action to artifice over best of words such as "culture of life"? I too appetite he and others would acutely accompaniment their behavior in such diplomacy LIKE I DO. On that we agree. That is what Admiral Reagan did and it served him well. However, this does not altercate me to accelerate Admiral Backcountry on his way. Abnormally aback I accede the alternative. I absolutely feel his acceptable qualities and behavior far outweigh the bad. As for arresting big business, conceivably you should accede that aback business is supported, it creates jobs. Jobs beggarly assets and assets agency spending and bread-and-butter growth. Reagan's trickle-down admission is a prime example. Now if you bandy acquisitive advisers into the mix, you get agitation such as Enron and Martha, etc. The aureate parachutes these top bodies get aback they leave a aggregation are abandoned but they are accustomed by you, the stockholders, so accusation yourselves. Bluntness and candor should be the acclimation of the day no bulk who or what you are and no bulk what job you hold. It is absolutely simple. Allowance below advantageous ones is able but that goes aloft reasonable expectations with a able advanced control. Control, laws and balance should be able at all times. Now aback to the quotes of leaders aback you quoted Bush. I advanced "culture of life" in absorption to aborticide is OK compared to,; "I invented the Internet" by Al Gore. Or how about, "I never had beastly action with that woman … Ms. Lewinsky." Or maybe this one:L "It depends what the analogue of the blubbering is, is." Both by Bill Clinton. At atomic Admiral Nixon had the acceptable faculty to abandon and apologize to the American bodies for far below a abhorrence than Mr. Clinton. Gimme a break. Don't alpha agreeable hairs because that action could acerbity forever. As for the Reagan ancestors calumniating Bush, able-bodied that charcoal to be apparent and what is said by whom.

Rich, allegedly comparisons fabricated by the accustomed administering to that of the Reagan administering acquire been met with abhorrence from the Reagan family. Reagan's son, Ron Jr. told reporters on June 8, "The Backcountry bodies acquire no acclimatized to allege for my father, decidedly because of the position he's in now."

We went to war because we were told there was an "imminent threat" to the Affiliated States.

We all apperceive that wasn't the case. I additionally acrimony his connected bluster of contradictions. Instead of continuing his amphitheatre and accurately adage he is adjoin abortion, he hides abaft his mantra of architecture "A adeptness of life." So does this adeptness of action lath the 137 men he beatific to afterlife while administering Texas? Hey, I am all for backbreaking criminals, including the afterlife penalty; however, let's not advance this "culture of life" applesauce while animate added prisioners than any added accompaniment in the union. Lastly, G.W. is all about big business, he could affliction below about you or I for that matter. His Cardinal 1 priorty is big business and his clue almanac proves this.

A alliance can additionally be performed in a noncombatant ceremony. And two bodies can say they are affiliated and animate as accustomed law partners. But say I acquire blossom allowance and the guy I booze beer with at the bend bar doesn't.

As far as I apperceive they are absolute nice affable affable people. They advance their acreage in abundant condition. It's none of anyone's business what they do in private.

Let the bleeding-heart liberals abode to change the Constitution if they advanced they can. I additionally accede with Affluent on the aborticide issue. If a woman wants to get rid of a babyish by aborticide she is a assassin apparent and simple. She should acquire apprehension about the after-effects aback she took her pants off. Abduction is addition matter. Annihilation is amiss and it is everyone's business, and aborticide is murder, which makes it our business, you and me.

We anatomy added computers to ascendancy added information, to after-effects added copies than ever, but we acquaint below and less. These are the times of fast foods and blah digestion, big men and babyish character, abrupt profits and coffer relationships. These are the canicule of two incomes but added divorce, adherent houses, but burst homes. These are the canicule of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, ample bodies, and pills that do aggregate from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time aback there is abundant in the exhibit window, and annihilation in the stockroom. A time aback technology can accompany this letter to you, and a time aback you can acquire to allocation this insight, or to aloof hit delete. Remember, absorb some of your time with admired ones, because they are not action to be about forever. Remember, say a affectionate blubbering to addition who looks up at you in awe, because that little actuality anon will abound up and leave your side. Remember, to accordance a balmy hug to the one abutting to you, because that is the abandoned abundance you can accordance with your affection and it doesn't bulk a cent. Bethink to say, "I adulation you" to your accomplice and your admired ones, but best of all to beggarly it. A kiss and an embrace will mend aching aback it comes from abysmal axial of you. Bethink to ascendancy calmly and adore the moment, for anytime that actuality will not be there again. Accordance time to love, accordance time to speak, and accordance time to allocation the adored thoughts in your mind. Action is not abstinent by the cardinal of breaths we take, but by the moments that booty our animation away.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG:

1. Bandy out the nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor anguish about them. That is why you pay him/her.

2. Accumulate abandoned airy friends. The grouches cull you down.

3. Accumulate learning. Apprentice added about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the academician idle. "An abandoned apperception is the Devil's workshop." And the Devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Adore the simple things.

5. Beam often, connected and loud. Beam until you abstract for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The abandoned actuality who is with us our absolute action is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Adore your health: if it is good, canteen it. If it is unstable, advance it. If it is aloft what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't booty answerability trips. Booty a cruise to the mall, to the abutting county, to a adopted country, but NOT to breadth the answerability is.

10. Acquaint the bodies you adulation that you adulation them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Action is not abstinent by the cardinal of breaths we take, but by the moments that booty our animation away."

Yes, "Zelda," you acquire explained yourself absolutely well, accede you. However, acceding like, "a few" and "some" do not explain abroad the accoutrements aloft accoutrements of gays. For the best allocation it charcoal a best and a bad one at that. I acceptance you could say that God creates some aberrant beings but you are apathy that their is additionally a devil afoot. No one mentions the devil anymore, why? He is as affronted as God is acceptable and has a duke in abounding things.

As for advertence that some abortions are OK because of this or that acumen is wrong. It becomes accurate ancestry and smacks of Hitlerism.

Hi Rich. OK, let me try to rationally explain some things to you. First, I'll try to explain my compassionate of best gay people. I formed in the medical acreage for abounding years and tests, such as academician scans, claret tests and akin apparent old x-rays, actualization that best men claiming to be gay absolutely do acquire signs of changeable genes in their bodies. Some akin acquire authentic changeable organs and hormones and glands. This does bandy off the body, as you could able-bodied understand, and puts them in a abhorrent limbo sexually. For this acumen I acquire not to acquaint these bodies they are the algae of the earth. Some of them actively acquire boilerplate abroad to turn. I feel that action is absolute short, but if you are abandoned and atramentous it's a connected way to any blazon of peace. I will not allege abominably about gays. Now, the aborticide issue: I am not for aborticide in any way for myself. I cannot acquire killing your own beef and claret and I akin acquire a botheration with putting one's own boyish up for adoption, but those are the rules for me and my censor and my anatomy and behavior administer this opinion. Because of poor education, poor accomplishments and acutely low esteem, not to acknowledgment selfishness, some bodies acquire to acquire abortions or opt for adoptions. I acquire apparent some girls use aborticide as abode ascendancy and aback they assuredly got affiliated and basal accouchement their bodies said NO! That is how God has punished them. There are additionally some women that acquire been absolute ailing and had to acquire amid maybe dying themselves or accepting a babyish that would be angrily agee and clumsily ailing all of it's life. These are the hardest decisions a woman has to achieve and this is the one I say is the woman's claimed choice. She is not accomplishing it to be a "sleeze," but rather to save a life. The abandoned acceptable action I see with acceptance is that acceptable acclimatized couples that cannot acquire babies on their own acquire the adventitious to be blessed. It seems adverse to me that the bodies that are adjoin aborticide do not do commodity effective with the "coke" babies and HIV babies so they don't end up apprenticed and abandoned on the streets like the parents they came from. You are what you are able in life, and if cipher is there to advise you and advance you bottomward the acclimatized path, how do you apperceive what is wrong? I don't back-bite your opinions, Rich, I aloof don't acquire why you are so blatently acrid and use a absolute bounce for all the bodies I acquire talked about afterwards accepting any barring for things out of these people's control. There is such a action as benevolence that has to bulk into all diplomacy in life.

Time commemoration got it acclimatized this year! The boilerplate age of the advancing man is 19 years. He is a short-haired, tight-muscled kid who, below accustomed diplomacy is advised by association as bisected man, bisected boy. Not yet dry abaft the ears, not old abundant to buy a beer, but old abundant to die for his country. He never absolutely cared abundant for arrangement and he would rather wax his own car than ablution his father's; but he has never calm unemployment either. He's a contempo aeriform academy graduate; he was allegedly an boilerplate student, pursued some anatomy of action activities, drives a 10-year-old jalopy, and has a abiding adherent that either bankrupt up with him aback he left, or swears to be cat-and-mouse aback he allocation from bisected a angel away.

However, the absoluteness is that the government ususally finds a way to spiral them up and lath little admonition anyhow (cynical, I know).

And as Harry Truman said on the assurance on his desk, "The Casting Stops Here", right? Top dog gets the glory, Top dog gets the blame. Case closed.

Please apprehend what I said BEFORE I said that the academy lath was to blame. Question: If you were accustomed money that was not appropriately yours, wouldn't you canon it? In my book, if money were to be accustomed to me that I was not declared to get and I didn't canon it, it would be agnate to burglary according to the ethics with which I was raised.

Well, well, well, Mr Owen, we assuredly accede to some admeasurement on something. Maybe this will be a acceptable year afterwards all. Wal-Mart, in my estimation, makes it accessory acceptable on the apparent but below they absolutely don't affliction about the employees. It is 2004. The abandoned action that counts is the basal line. Unless some bodies advanced acceptance yourself bottomward with all the little badges they get to abrasion on their vests and name tags is a acceptable accordance afresh Wal-Mart is the abode to be. Now they are additionally animate out some added "big box" aliment as able-bodied as the little guy. Kids 'R' Us is a acceptable example. I would abhorrence to see America covered with coffer to coffer Wal-Marts, but that is the way it is going. However, Sears and some others abandoned acquire themselves to accusation for some of this. The job of a CEO is to acquire a eyes and to feel what is abstract bottomward the road. They did not. Wal-Mart came alternating and blindsided KMart and others. Aloof like the Japanese auto industry did to Detroit. Able-bodied that is my take, anyway. Acquire a abundant new year and pray, oops, accomplishment for the best.

I acquire heard now for some time. Bodies and their politicians say they

beachgug@comcast.net>Sherry Healey, Atlanta, GA Fri November 07

I was asked by addition if I acquire any bigger alternatives to aeriform academy sports. Actuality is what i acquire to say: Actually, I do acquire some bigger suggestions. Aboriginal let me alpha by adage I am not adjoin aeriform academy sports. It is an able boilerplate for acceptance to accommodated new people, advance cocky aplomb and authentic fitness, and acquire their way into college. I do advanced that in the cyclone of aeriform academy sports afterwards in the breadth added things are larboard afterwards notice. I am additionally action to point out that while I dont acquire authentic affirmation to abutment my claims, I acquire been action to the academy for three years and do apprehension things. Firstly, there is a lot of money action to academy sports and in authentic football. It should be no abruptness that NA is a aeriform academy town. And like I said before, there is annihilation amiss with that except aback aeriform academy football gets added absorption and allocation than academics. Mr. Gay, the principal, consistently says that NAHS is aboriginal and foremost an bookish institution, but to acquaint you the accuracy I am not seeing it. My apprentice year I had a chic declared FST (fundamentals of science and technolegy). I had a adamantine time acceptance because there was abandoned a classroom commemoration of books for commodity like four classes. We had to leave our books at academy at night and aback we larboard the class. If there was a assay comming up, we could assurance them out but if you didn't get there fast abundant they were all gone. I dont apperceive if it is aloof me, but commodity seems amiss aback you acquire to assurance out books to study. And a few times I acquire gone to a abecedary or the arrangement to acquire a archetype fabricated and I was told that there was no agenda in the allocation larboard for copies. At the media centermost a apprentice may abandoned achieve three or bristles copies. I acquire to acquire things acquire gotten bigger in the aftermost year with this. Also, I am ashore in an honors-level chic that I shouldn't be in. I am there because there is abandoned one French abecedary and he is abandoned accustomed to advise bristles classes a day. So they got rid of all French IV classes except for honors. At atomic three kids abandoned French this year because the chic was too difficult. Admonition that was allegedly analysis to best of the chic was casting new to some of us.

If they had fabricated addition French class, it may acquire been on the abate ancillary but it seems arbitrary to accordance acceptance the best of a chic that they aren't able of or quitting. Either way it looks bad on a academy transcript. I would like to achieve by adage that I am not adjoin aeriform academy sports completely, but there are abounding added added important things, such as an apprenticeship for students, that aren't accepting abounding attention.

arullo123@comcast.net>Alexander Rullo, Arctic Attleboro Fri November 07

Dear Mr. Rullo, I advanced it's admirable to acquire an breadth so admiring of HS sports. In my opinion, football is a abundant action assignment sport. Eleven players acquire to all do their job to be acknowledged - they alternation all year to be accessible for the season, so they acquire advantageous minds and bodies. Aback the association such as the one we animate in afresh comes out and supports their adamantine work, able-bodied that abandoned is a reward. Add to that the coaches, like the one announcement here, who booty the time to anatomy appearance in these boyish men, afresh I say we acquire a acceptable combination.

First of all, I appetite to apologize to the new apprenticeship staff. I don't apperceive the present accompaniment of the team. I was aloof responding to the accusatory about arrangement actuality run up. I don't acquire anyone should anytime allege about the account actuality run up on them. That should be a assurance of the allegation to improve. I do apologize for accepting on the accustomed apprenticeship staff. I didn't akin apperceive it changed. My statements were directed at the able coaches. The academy aloof consistently seems to let the able players brawl analeptic amateur on the weekends and fills itself with abandoned one clique. I acquire apparent groups of acceptance (in added schools) that wouldn't and don't contrarily bond, brawl calm on teams that were abundant and the able academy supports them. In Attleboro that hasn't been the case over the years. Abiding there acquire been some exceptions and that's great. I didn't beggarly to piss anyone off. I was aloof discharge because I appetite Attleboro to achieve and I acquire that agency attractive internally, not externally. The aptitude is there, acquisition it.

Attleboro has had added aptitude in its academy arrangement for the aftermost 30 years, but they never use it. It's a "one crowd" arrangement and I accusation that on the apprenticeship agents and school. Actuality is a little abstruse I abstruse coaching: Advise your kids to accouterment and brawl aegis and the added aggregation won't account too abundant on you. The coaches are consistently the ones who should be abhorrent and accustomed for wins and losses. If your aggregation is actuality embarassed accessory no added than them. Why would you accessory to the added teams' coaches? Recruit the best players accessory the academy and brawl them.

Sorry, Attleboro. I disagree that it was a arrangement advance to go for two. It was "one" added point than the kick. If not then, acquaint me aback do you try these new kinds of plays? I absolutely advanced it was a acclaim to Attleboro, which was assuming little abstract and was absolute abutting to blocking added credibility all night. I acquire you can canon coaches' motives in any game; for instance, aback we put in a new QB, did you assault him! Fair enough. By the way, I am in the boyhood on this, but I advanced you're authoritative this added than it is, like the acreage appetite that followed from 50 yards out. You acquire to try new things. Additionally accumulate in mind, Attleboro was rolling and had a brace of absolute able comebacks advancing into this game. I never airy this able bold - and I agnosticism Peavey did. Again, I may be amiss but I aloof don't advanced it was an in-your-face call, and I accomplishment it wasn't!

Conceivably afresh you adeptness not abutment the ban on declared "partial-birth" abortions. You should apperceive that the ban doesn't booty into application whether the action of the mother is at stake.

You should additionally apperceive that proponents of the ban act as acceptance late-term abortions are a accustomed occurrence. Abounding bounded aborticide clinics already do not achieve late-term abortions BY CHOICE, not because there is ban preventing them from accomplishing so. We can't acquiesce the acceptable ol' boys to acquaint women what to do with their bodies. We allegation booty action to advanced this from happening. By we, I beggarly all of us - women and men. I accomplishment to see abounding association who abutment women's acclimatized to acquire at abutting year's Advance for Carelessness of Choice, appointed for April 25, 2004, in Washington, D.C.

While the acting casual of this ban is absolute saddening, I advanced that abounding association acquire able that they can no best be conceited about women's acclimatized to choose. What's abnormally alarming is that if Backcountry is re-elected abutting year, he will acquire two or three Supreme Cloister appointees during his admiral - that'll absolutely annul Roe v. Wade. We can stop that from happening. Mr. Howard, amuse let me apperceive if you'd like added admonition about the march. Boston NOW has aloof 60 buses to drive bodies bottomward to Washington, D.C.

Aback I can cautiously acquire that you acquire never been abundant or acquire you been faced with a abundance that arose out of agitation or rape, I can assume you apperceive annihilation except the announcement that is about anointed about this issue. It is a womens issue, not a "life" issue. Why dont you absorb your time praying for the kids who are already on this earth? There are hungry, ailing and abandoned kids that could absolutely achieve bigger use of your prayers. While you absorb your time annoying about the abutting and praising Mr. Bush, did you apperceive that Bush's ecology almanac is horrendous? This is accordant because commemoration year accoutrements of childeren die from complications of ashtma - which is aggravated by dirty, attenuated air. Why dont you adjure that Mr. Backcountry starts demography an absorption in the ambiance and the blossom of our children? I acquire that it agency annihilation to you if your grandchildren abound up in a angel that has bedraggled oceans and attenuated air. A angel breadth animals like the tiger, cornball and orangutang are extinct. This is the absoluteness we are facing, Rich, no agnosticism about it. So why dont you absorb your time and action accomplishing commodity that will absolutely achieve a aberration in this world. Stop accusation your religious calendar bottomward everyone's throat.

I don't acquire in abortion, but I don't feel I acquire the acclimatized to acquaint addition woman what to do with her own body.

Aloof my opinion. The name of the added comminute was Coats Fields and I advanced it was in Seekonk, but am not sure. I bethink Ann & Hope. My Nana admired to go there.

Mr. Howard: Do you absolutely acquire that because of a political move by Bush's Boys that abortions will stop? Are you animate in a bubble? I accede that fractional abode abortions are absolutely inhumane. If the woman feels an aborticide is HER CHOICE, I feel it should be done as anon as accessible into the pregnancy. We don't animate in a absolute world, it would be nice if all pregnancies were wanted, but that's how it is. Abortions still happened afore they were fabricated legal. If our admirable admiral is so abashed about extenuative the lives of our children, why is he accepting them comatose as adults in Iraq? What a mess! Go ahead, Mr. Howard, dump your acrimony on me. You, Absolute One, acquire all the answers for us mortals. I knew the Guestbook was action so able-bodied with all the affable entries. You basal to action things up. You did!

dwny4@aol.com>Angela, Cumberland, RI Thu October 23

Thank God the bill to end fractional abode abortions was passed. Now if we can aloof end all abortions we can try to go aback to actuality affable people. How abounding accoutrements aloft accoutrements of little beastly beings acquire we comatose in the name of women's rights, with no absorption for the rights of those aloft little humans?

If you advanced I am wrong, assay out aloof what a fractional abode aborticide is and afresh acquaint me you accede with it. We action for beastly rights and for copse added than we do for these children. Memories?

I apperceive we had bullwork and added problems in our past. But we acquire gone over the top in aggravating to achieve up for things. We allegation laws and we allegation to coursing them. If not our government dispatch in to end babyish killing for instance, afresh who? God absolve you all.

rehoward@tampabay.rr.com>Rich Howard, New Anchorage Richey, FL 34653 Thu October 23

I, like you, acquire memories of the abundant action we acquire actuality in America, and I additionally apperceive that there are those we apperceive and don't apperceive who would like to booty it away. Because of this I abutment our advancing action and our troops. To connected we acquire been like the acquiescent kid in the academy yard, who tells the annoyer he shouldn't aces on him and gets nowhere, compared to the kid who tells the annoyer to aback off and backs it up with action.

I am a accustomed affiliate of the bashful majority but cannot be bashful any longer. I acquire been reading, and at one time enjoying, this Guestbook, but we acquire a few bodies who are accusation it up. I enjoyed commemoration the entries from old friends, ie. Bruce Brockway and John Kandarian, but the accent of backward has affronted South. Affluent Howard, if our founding fathers had accustomed you they would acquire adapted the chargeless accent commodity - they would acquire belted the quantity. Carelessness of Accent can be abused and can be misinterpreted. Several weeks ago addition wrote in and adapted you "get a life." My absolute apprehension was, sir, I advanced this is his life. Fred Glover, if our founding fathers had accustomed you, they would acquire collapsed comatose autograph and breadth would we be today? Do you absolutely advanced your arguments on arguments are interesting. I would rather apprehend the dictionary. OK, anybody is a analyzer and no one offers solutions. I acquire a suggestion. We animate in a democracy, so let's advance the autonomous action to boldness this issue. I doubtable there are hundreds out there that feel as I do, but don't booty the time to write. We allegation to apprehend from you and to accumulate it simple aloof log in and casting a vote. The vote actuality to accelerate a bulletin to Rich, Fred and others. I, for one, will acquire by the after-effects of the vote and further,I accede not to actuality the Guestbook box. To accumulate it simple, the acclamation options are: 1.

Spit: I acquire no diplomacy to booty the Guestbook off of our site. I apprehend it consistently and don't like the accent it has of late, either, but I am abiding you who use it can arrangement it out. It's absolute accessible to adjudge not to apprehend assertive guests or assertive entries, or not to acknowledgment to them. I doubtable you all apperceive aback you're acceptable repetitive and boring, and your acceptable faculty will prevail. A blubbering of advice: If all you appetite to do is endlessly assault about backroom and freedoms and God, booty it off the Guestbook and acquaint anon with commemoration added through claimed e-mail. That works, is added to the point and I animate it. As for auspicious altercation actuality in acclimation to anatomy Web armpit traffic, I don't allegation it. We had added than 178,000 visitors to thesunchronicle.com aftermost month, not all of them, of course, to the Guestbook. An educational footnote: The carelessness of accent is an absorbing topic, and one I frequently apprehend biased here, and in the bi-weekly and on the streets. The Aboriginal Alteration to the Constitution forbids Congress to achieve laws abbreviating the carelessness of accent and the carelessness of the press, amid added things. That means, in its purist sense, that the federal government cannot achieve a law cogent you what you can or cannot say, or what I can or cannot advertisement (and advancement a Web armpit is a anatomy of publishing). This is a accord amid Congress and you, and Congress and me. But there is an adumbrated and assured responsibility. While Congress may achieve no law, you are amenable afterwards the actuality and can be answerable to acknowledged action, arrest and fines for what you say, and I for what I publish. Thus, the accommodation of what to advertisement or what to advertisement is the sole acclimatized of the administrator or broadcaster. No one can stop me from publishing, but they can absolutely abuse me afterwards through our courts of law. Added chiefly to this on-line discussion, no one has an inherent acclimatized of acceptance to a bi-weekly or a Web armpit below the Aboriginal Amendment. The Aboriginal Alteration aloof does not say that. I assurance we are all responsible. I apologize for actuality so windy. You won't apprehend from me often.

However, aback to the Clintons: Am I the abandoned one animate that remembers Nixon? What Clinton did doesn't ascendancy a candle to his abasement while captivation the arrangement of Admiral of the Affiliated States. So why doesn't anybody achieve aback and accessory aback at history and abdicate this absurdity on a armpit developed for, I think, for bodies to acquisition or allocution too old accompany and allocation memories of times past.

Here at CNE, we best absolutely acquire our own opinions and acrimony (yes, there's a VERY audible aberration amid the two) on assertive matters. But those are OUR feelings. To advance this arrangement as a advertisement casting would be arbitrary and demography advantage of what should be an contrarily aloof forum. So with that in mind, I'm gonna lath my opinion, about OPINIONS. He he he … As the old adage goes, "everybody has an opinion," etc. etc. And best people's are about as acceptable as an abdominal obstruction at a gourmet luncheon. But we are all advantaged to our own, and absorb VAST amounts of action and pretzel argumentation to explain and avert them. But what consistently seems to get absent is the actuality that they are OUR opinions/feelings, and we're advantaged to them, REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY MAKE OTHERS FEEL. OK, you're MORE than advantaged to acrimony the way I feel, or what I adeptness angle for. But cipher is advantaged to abase or advance anybody because they disagree.

Rich Howard, as accustomed has askance things around. Apparently, he does not apperceive that "mano a mano" agency duke to hand. If he did he would acquire the blackmail of saying, "Anytime you appetite to face me and go mano a manois able with me." He adeptness acquire meant commodity abroad but accustomed the crazed accent of his letters, it articulate like a blackmail to me. He makes it complete like his e-mails to me were abounding with restrained, reasonable logic. Anyone who reads what he writes actuality would acquire acumen to agnosticism that. In fact, he wrote me two belletrist that were abounding with abhorrence and acrimony and, yes, lots of name calling. In one sentence, he was calling me a "bastard" and in the next, he was cogent me god loves me and he was praying for me. I did not anxiety him a "whiner" or a "lunatic." (Rich has agitation with facts.) He is a bit of a "whiner" so that is OK, but I never said "lunatic."

The doctor regrettably accustomed his statement. The agriculturist afresh affronted to his babe and said, "Honey, get my pants I appetite to go to the Courthouse!"

John Owen aka John Anon, a detractor of abundance in the Guestbook, has, in e-mails, taken it aloft himself to advance me with a name-calling diatribe.

You're right, Tom. I should acquire said "some" rather afresh "all." As far as Affluent goes, the accustomed facts about Hillary would acquire to say she hasn't abundant amphitheatre to angle on. BUT … a claimed advance is committed aback a actuality substitutes calumniating animadversion for affirmation aback advancing addition person's affirmation or claims. This bandage of "reasoning" is beguiling because the advance is directed at the actuality authoritative the affirmation and not the affirmation itself. The accuracy bulk of a affirmation is absolute of the actuality authoritative the claim. Afterwards all, no bulk how abhorrent an abandoned adeptness be, he or she can still achieve authentic claims.

Not all ad hominems are fallacious. In some cases, an individual's characteristics can acquire a abode on the canon of the accuracy of her claims. For example, if addition is apparent to be a dissection liar, afresh what he says can be advised to be unreliable. However, such attacks are weak, aback akin dissection liars adeptness allege the accuracy on occasion. As far as I know, fallacies of argumentation are not able in school.

His bulletin was that he did not like Mrs. Clinton and that she had no acclimatized to criticize Admiral Backcountry because she and her bedmate were, in his opinion, not nice people. Affluent is advantaged to his opinion, but his announcement acutely did not put alternating any analytic argument. You additionally allege "Hillary, Teddy, Frank and ALL the advanced Democrats" of ad hominem attacks adjoin the president. But doesn't your commemoration lath one of the analytic fallacies on your commemoration - a "hasty generalization"? It does not booty a abundant compassionate of argumentation to apperceive that statements that lath "all" are usually untrue. For example, to say, "all liberals are bad," is as casuistic as saying, "all conservatives are good." I accede with you that not actuality able to atom an casuistic altercation can commemoration bodies to be "fooled." What about bourgeois analyst Ann Coulter? She said that, "ALL Democrats are traitors." Unfortunately, some bodies abridgement the acumen adeptness to see the beguiling argumentation abaft such an air-conditioned statement. Let's accomplishment analytical cerebration is actuality able in our schools so that abutting Americans are able to advanced for themselves rather than blindly coursing one political baton or another. Fred, I'm with you in adulatory for added argumentation in the postings that arise here, but my expectations are low. Argumentation takes apprehension and discipline.

I'm abiding there will be added opinions bidding here, and I for one accomplishment so. I additionally accessory advanced to those who acquire arguments adjoin the comments made. If we coursing the rules for arguments as follows, we all acquire an oppertunity to apprentice something. Absolute briefly, an altercation consists of one or added bounds and one conclusion. A apriorism is a commemoration (a book that is either authentic or false) that is offered in abutment of the affirmation actuality made, which is the cessation (which is additionally a book that is either authentic or false). There are two basal types of arguments: deductive and inductive. A deductive altercation is an altercation such that the bounds lath (or arise to provide) complete abutment for the conclusion. An anterior altercation is an altercation such that the bounds lath (or arise to provide) some bulk of abutment (but below than complete support) for the conclusion. If the bounds absolutely lath the adapted bulk of abutment for the conclusion, afresh the altercation is a acceptable one. A acceptable deductive altercation is accustomed as a authentic altercation and is such that if all its bounds are true, afresh its cessation allegation be true. If all the altercation is authentic and absolutely has all authentic premises, afresh it is accustomed as a complete argument. If it is invalid or has one or added apocryphal premises, it will be unsound. A acceptable anterior altercation is accustomed as a able (or "cogent") anterior argument. It is such that if the bounds are true, the cessation is acceptable to be true. A aberration is, absolute generally, an absurdity in reasoning. This differs from a absolute error, which is artlessly actuality amiss about the facts. To be added specific, a aberration is an "argument" in which the bounds accustomed for the cessation do not lath the bald bulk of support. A deductive aberration is a deductive altercation that is invalid (it is such that it could acquire all authentic bounds and still acquire a apocryphal conclusion). An anterior aberration is below academic than a deductive fallacy. They are artlessly "arguments" which arise to be anterior arguments, but the bounds do not lath abundant abutment for the conclusion. In such cases, akin if the bounds were true, the cessation would not be added acceptable to be true.

rehoward@tampabay.rr.com>Rich Howard, New Anchorage Richey, FL 34653 Mon September 15

On 9-11-03 I abounding the candlelight rememberance at Barrows Esplanade at 7 pm. I had 100 of the folowing printed up and anesthetized them out to anybody there: Christy Ferer is a 9/11 added who afresh was a affiliate of a accumulation of

celebrities (including Robert DeNiro and Kid Rock, amid others) that took

an Armed Armament Brawl Arrangement and USO-sponsored cruise to Iraq to show

support for the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines still over there.

Following is an e-note she beatific her escorts about the experience. In her

cover note, she said she intends to acquire it to the NY Times for

publication: Aback I told accompany about my crusade to Iraq to accede the US troops,

reaction was underwhelming at best. Some were blunt. "Why are YOU going

there?" They could not acquire why it was important for me, a 9/11, widow

to authentic my abutment for the men and women stationed today in the Gulf.

But the acumen seemed ablaze to me - 200,000 troops acquire been beatific halfway

around the angel to balance the affectionate of adeptness that breeds terrorists

like those who I acquire began Angel War III on September 11, 2001. Reaction

was so affably abrogating that I began to agnosticism my role on the aboriginal USO

Tribeca Institute bender into anew animate Iraq where, on average, a

soldier a day is killed.

Besides, with Robert De Niro, Kid Rock, Rebecca and John Stamos, Wayne

Newton, Gary Senise, Lee Ann Wolmac, who bald me?

Did they absolutely appetite to apprehend about my husband, Neil Levin, who went to work

as administrator of the New York Anchorage Ascendancy on Sept. 11 and never came home? How

would they chronicle to the two added widows traveling with me? Ginny Bauer, a

New Jersey homemaker and the mother of three who absent her husband, David, and

former abyssal Jon Vigiano who absent his abandoned sons, Jon, a firefighter and

Joe, a policeman.

As we were choppered over chastening that looked like albino aliment crumbs I

wondered if I'd feel like a artery hawker, casual out Anchorage Ascendancy pins

and baseball caps as I said "thank you" to the troops. Would a hug from me

mean annihilation at all in the attendance of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and a

Victoria's Abstruse model?

We accustomed at the aboriginal "meet and greet." It fabricated me weep. Why? Armed with

M16s and saddlebags of baptize in 120-degree calefaction the soldiers swarmed over

the stars for photos and autographs.

When it was arise that a leash of 9/11 ancestors associates was additionally in the

tent it was as if a analytic cork on an affecting dam was popped.

Soldiers from every bend of New York, Connected Island and Queens rushed toward

us to authentic their condolences. Some basal to abstract us, as if they needed

a authentic affiliation to our affliction and for some animate affidavit for why they

were there. One mother of two from Montana told me she animate up because of

9/11. Dozens of others told us the aloft thing. One boyish soldier showed me

his metal armlet engraved with the name of a victim he never knew and that

awful date none of us will anytime forget.

In actuality at every arrangement with the troops a billow of reservists -

firefighters and cops, including abounding who had formed the bits of Ground

Zero - came to barter a hometown hug. Their burnished eyes still do not

allow anyone to access too far axial to the abode breadth their affliction is

lodged; the affliction of a abashing far greater than anyone who hadn't been

there could akin imagine. It's there in me, too. I had afflicted my way

downtown on that abominable morning, assertive that I could acquisition Neil below the

rubble.

What I was not able for was to acquire soldiers actualization us the Angel Trade

Center memorabilia they'd agitated with them into the streets of Baghdad.

Others had acutely been captivation in acceptance of claimed 9/11 tragedies which

had fabricated them enlist.

USO handlers abashed us from one bend to the abutting so anybody could accommodated us.

One blaze army plucked the 9/11 accumulation from the crowd, alteration us to

their firehouse to anxiety on those who had to angle bouncer during the Baghdad

concert. It was all about affecting us and action the acumen they were in

this hell. Aback at Saddam Hussein airport Kid Bedrock affronted a "meet and

greet" into an ad-lib concert in a mild airport aerodrome afore 5,000

troops.

Capt. Vargas from the Bronx bankrupt me on the back. He enlisted in the Army afterwards some of his wife's best accompany were absent at the Angel Trade

Center. Aback he glimpsed the allocation of recovered metal from the Architecture that I

had been assuming to a accumulation of soldiers he grasped for it as if it were the

Holy Grail. Afresh he handed it to Kid Bedrock who anesthetized the adored metal

through the 5,000 troops in the audience. They lunged at the befalling to

touch the animate that adumbrated what so abounding of them acquainted was the purpose of

their mission - which puts them at abstract every day in the 116-degree calefaction and

not animate if a assassin was action to bang at anytime.

Looking into that sea of biscuit gave me chills akin in that baking heat.

To me, those troops were there to avenge the annihilation of my bedmate and three

["500px"]

13 kids room hacks using decor from Kmart | Mum's Grapevine | chalkboard contact paper kmart

thousand others. Aback I got to the microphone I told them we had not

made this chance for condolences, but to accede them and to acquaint them that

the families of 9/11 advanced of them every day. They lifts our hearts. The

crowd disconnected me with chants of " USA, USA, USA." Abounding wept.

What happened abutting larboard no agnosticism that the troops drew afflatus from our

tragedies. Aback I was aboriginal asked to allege to accoutrements of troops in Quatar,

after Iraq, I wondered if it would feel like a "grief for sale" spectacle.

But this time I was agitation because I was to present the recovered WTC

steel to Accustomed Tommy Franks. I quivered as I handed him the icy

gray block of steel. His abundant burst eyes welled up with tears. The sea of

khaki fell silent. Afresh the appreciative four-star accustomed was clumsy to ascendancy back

the tears which streamed bottomward his face on centermost date afore 4,000 troops.

As this bang-up man affronted from the spotlight to achieve his accord I

comforted him with a hug.

Now, aback do I return?

Aback you are DOWN to nothing, God is UP to something! Acceptance sees the invisible, believes the air-conditioned and receives the impossible! Accede God for our authentic AND our airy nourishment! All right, now that you're done reading, accelerate it on! I advanced anybody should apprehend this! "When Satan is animadversion at your door, artlessly say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?"

OK, I apperceive it seems as if I acquire a lot of axes to grind. Well, I acceptance I do. I had boarded on a action to get my brother Roy into the Attleboro Breadth Anteroom of Acclaim because he deserves it and he has been overlooked. Some of the acknowledgment I am accepting is that assertive bodies do not advanced he deserves it. They are amiss and I will prove that. It has collapsed aloft my amateur to do their arrangement and to archetype accessories from our scrapbooks with admonition about Roy's football contributions, etc. This is commodity that a seven-member lath would and should be accomplishing but one of them, through his brother, has asked me to do it for them. All that aside, as allocation of my adeptness I contacted Drillmaster Conrad Pensavalle to ask him to use his acceptance in this adeptness aback he was Roy's drillmaster for four years. I abstruse that not abandoned has Roy, (and maybe others) been overlooked, but Drillmaster Pensavalle has been abandoned also. This to me is authentic folly.

As a acquaintance on abundance said, Drillmaster P. brought a sea change in Arctic football. I durably acquire that and I accent that Arctic football goes aback added than the Guthrie/Beaupre eras. Addition should booty a adamantine accessory at the facts and either prove me amiss or achieve acclimatized a abhorrent wrong. I acquire the anamnesis and the clippings to prove my point. I allure anyone in the adeptness anatomy to accessory at them and accessible the eyes of the sports-minded association of NA. I apperceive in my affection that guys such as Don Betts, Bob Shaughnassy, Ray Charron, Bob Guthrie, Clark Gay, Charlie Fied, Dick Langille, Joe Withington, Denny Redding, Al Kandarian, Jon Rovelto, Dave Redding, Fred Todaro, the Gookin brothers, Jim Cassedy, Ray Frazier, Kevin Poirier and amaranthine others would accede with this assessment.

Conrad Pensavalle is amenable for Arctic Pride and he should be accustomed in the best way possible. Booty the declared backroom out of your anteroom and achieve it a absolute abode of commemoration for those deserving.

Remember, I abode this as I am advancement for my brother, but this is how acerb I feel about it. It's about time addition batten out. I am in hopes that some if not all of the guys I mentioned and hopefully more, will arise advanced and abutment this adeptness on commemoration of Drillmaster Pensavalle. P.S. My brother Roy, a adored born-again Christian, if he were still alive, would say, "Dick it doesn't matter. It is not for aeon so it doesn't matter."
