Rock You Like a Hurricane

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
The theme of today's
Newsletter was suggested by
My Niece, Shari, of VA - 06/12/09 - "Scorpions":
Rock You Like A Hurricane! Thanks,
this is my favorite of theirs. Love the guitar.
Frank Sinatra--not
my thing.
L.Y.,
Shari
This song (particularly the lyrics) is a bit more - um, exciting - than we usually feature here, but it is one of the greatest hard rock songs ever, and the guitar work, as you said, is truly phenomenal.
Thanks, Shari - love you, too!

Hi Carol,
I think you are doing a great job on the web site. I enjoy keeping up with everyone through the information you post. However, I noticed that you have my birth date listed as this month. It is not until December 2nd; please don't make me any older than I already am!
No, no, that's not YOUR birthday I'm listing, George;
it's Cindy's! I just don't have her maiden name or
school or class, let alone her senior portrait, so I referenced your name and
picture as well.
Unless, of course, I accidentally
caused some of that line to vanish in one of this week's Newsletters..... 
I'd better go check them all.
Thanks for the quick response, you do such a wonderful job on the web page, what would we do without you! I guess I just didn't read the whole article, you know how old men are.
I am really looking forward to our 45-Year Reunion. I have enjoyed working with our reunion committee; hope we can come up with another great event.
I retired from Anheuser Busch two years ago after 34 years of service. I am now a AFAA certified personal trainer. If you know of any people in my area who need a trainer, give me a call.
Looking forward to seeing you at the reunion; keep up the great work.
George Konstant
Thanks so much, George!

From Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 06/11/09 - "Jury Duty Scam":
This has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer
asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen. The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado.This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud.

spot, only $300,000":
Are you kidding me!? I've got to find this person, I have some ocean front property for sale in the Blue Ridge Mountains!
Some folks should not be allowed to "have money". Must be a reader of "Getting Rich for Dummies".
Sold! One parking spot, only $300,000
A real estate agent said a resident of Boston's upscale Back Bay section plunked down $300,000 to own what is believed to be the priciest parking space in the city's history.

Now, Wayne Honey, surely you're not implying that this is not a wise stewardship over one's finances, are you?!? Why, I'm sure upon reflection that you'll agree that this is worth every penny!
Thanks, Sweetie!
From My Friend, Tina, of NA - 06/12/09 - "Smile!":
I sure do miss him!
Smile! - Or laugh out loud!

This ought to make us all do a little of both!
Thanks, Tina!

Dear Carol,
I am enclosing a copy of the Class Directory for our NNHS Class of 1954.
Someone, somewhere, may contact you for some info on a person in the NNHS Class of 1954, and you will have a source for helping them.
Thank you for ALL that you do to keep NNHS news up to date.
God Bless,
Harry Simpson
NNHS Class of 1954
WOWZERONI!
To my mind this is the handiest of all the Reunion Booklets
I've seen. I really like the smaller size (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") format. It also
contains a wealth of valuable information for the site - which I had hoped to
have added by now, but, nooOOOOOOoooo.

So let's give it a start:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRADUATIONS.html http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/GRAD-1954.html - brand new pageI'll keep moving on this..... |

I particularly like this note at the end of the booklet:
"Reach out and touch at least five (5) of
your classmates on a regular basis,
by visiting, sending letters or cards, phone calls, text messages, Twitter,
Facebook, My Space, and/or e-mails."
What an inspired addition - great job!
Thank you so much, Harry!

Success Principles -
Feeling Good About You is the Key to Success and
Happiness
By Anne Hartley, Apr. 22, 2009
Recently a client told me that I was her role model for
being a confident person. This set me to wondering as to how I became a
confident person, what happened and when so I created a timeline where I went
back to a time when I lacked confidence and found that was when I left school,
many aeons ago.
When I left school I planned to be a hairdresser and had an apprenticeship lined
up. After working at the hairdressers during the holidays they told me to
rethink my career because I wasn’t suited to it. I don’t know if it was because
I knocked over a perm tray, spilled tint on a customers back, or wet another
customer’s clothes while washing her hair. Being young, I felt totally shattered
that my dream had come to an end and it was a time when I was totally lacking in
confidence and I didn’t know what I wanted to do.
At that time we were going through another recession and jobs were very hard to
come by (by the time you get to my age you have lived through so many recessions
they don’t frighten you any more). I had been actively applying for any job for
three months without any success when I was told about an office job which
required applicants to pass a maths test. I was also told that 60 other people
had failed this test. Funnily enough this didn’t phase me as maths was my best
subject at school and all of my vocational tests told me I should work with
figures.
I did the test and passed and started out working in the office at Mark Foy’s,
which at that time was Sydney’s most beautiful department store. I loved my job,
in fact Mum told me I talked about it so much I nearly drove my family nuts.
When the manager’s secretary left I was offered her job over people much older
than myself. That job enabled me to become a confident person, not because I was
better than anyone else, but because I was good at something, and that made me
feel good about me.
A core element of my coaching process is choosing three values which represent
the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. Clients and
students who commit to acting on these values often see a dramatic improvement
in their lives and this is because acting on your values makes you feel good
about you.
One of the values I have chosen for myself is ‘powerful’ and it’s the one I’ve
struggled with because I haven’t felt powerful for quite a long time. Every now
and then I’ve tried to replace it with another value but I always come back it.
Recently I decided to do my timeline exercise looking back at all the times when
my life had gone off track so I could discover what I had done that turned my
life around. And every time, without exception, I discovered that my life
improved whenever I acted upon a choice which made me feel good about me. It was
that simple.
In my book Love the Life You Live, I tell of the time when I suffered a
financial setback prior to starting my life coaching business. The change began
when I chose to go for a walk every time I felt angry or depressed and before
long I was walking 5kms a day and I lost 20kgs. This made me feel good about
myself. I then took a part-time job and I can’t say that working at a lower
level for a meagre hourly rate made me feel good about me, but the choice to act
upon my values and find ways to enjoy myself while I was there did.
With every choice I made that made me feel better about me my life improved. Out
of the blue I was offered ghost writing work and as this was interesting and
well paying work my confidence returned. I discovered the simple fact that just
making everyday choices that make me feel good about me is enough to turn my
life around.
With this new awareness I decided to redefine powerful to include self respect
as I believe self respect is the place from which all happiness and success
flows and with this new definition of being powerful its a value which now
supports me.
What can you do each and every day that makes you feel good about you?

Words and Music by Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, and Herman Rarebell
(Scorpions), 1984
It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Rock you like a hurricane
It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am
