- NNHS Newsletter Don't Sleep in the Subway
“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing |
 |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Okay, so don't sleep in the subway,
but do get some sleep!
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEZnHy75NYs - Petula Clark - Don't Sleep In The Subway
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Sleep_in_the_Subway:
| "Don't Sleep in the Subway" is a song written by
Tony Hatch and
Jackie Trent and recorded by
Petula Clark. Released in April 1967, it peaked at #5 on the US
charts that June. It was Clark's final US top-ten single and the second
of two #1 hits on the
Billboard
Easy Listening chart, following "I
Couldn't Live Without Your Love". The song reached #3 in
Rhodesia, #5 in Canada, #7 in New Zealand, #10 in South Africa and
#16 in Germany. In Australia, it was at #1 on the charts dated 16 and 23
September 1967, marking Clark's final appearance at #1 on an official
national chart.[1] The song was constructed from three different sections of music previously composed by Hatch and changes in musical style from pop to symphonic and then to a Beach Boys-like melody for the chorus. It uses a chord progression most familiar from the baroque piece Pachelbel's Canon. In the lyrics the narrator advises her sweetheart against storming out after an argument due to his "foolish pride". If he does, he will "sleep in the subway" or "stand in the pouring rain" merely to prove his point. Although in the UK the term "subway" refers to a pedestrian underpass rather than an underground transit system, Hatch employed the term in the latter American sense...[2] |

THIS DAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:

http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0624.htm -
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: Tuesday, June 24, 1862 PRELIMINARY PROBING PRECEDES PROJECT The generals had met, the plans had been laid, the date had been set for tomorrow for the all-out battle to turn McClellan’s army away from Richmond. The Confederate armies were not yet quite prepared and were therefore laying in the stores of arms, ammunition and rations that would be required. Minor skirmishing occurred near Mechanicsburg as they confirmed the location of the Union lines. The fighting that would become known as the Seven Days Battle was about to begin. Wednesday, June 24, 1863 GHOSTS GREET GRIM GATHERING Last year’s invasion of Maryland by the Army of Northern Virginia had culminated in a vast battle in Sharpsburg, MD, on the banks of Antietam Creek. The forces of Gen. Lee were on the move again now, and the logic of geography dictated that they pass that way again, this time on their way to Pennsylvania. “Take Harrisburg if it comes within your grasp” were the orders to the lead forces. James Longstreet and A.P. Hill had passed not far from Harpers Ferry, and today they neared Antietam Creek again. A sharp but short skirmish broke out, and the number of ghosts increased. |

From George Helliesen ('61) of MI -
06/23/11 - "6/23/11":
|
Miss Typhoon,
There will be no
more moving, leaving the house for any reason, such as going
shopping, going out to dinner, visiting relatives, paying
bills, visiting people or such. Going to church or the
doctors is permissible. When you go off-line everything
gets confused to the point that we don't even know what
planet we're on and we lose all contact with our classmates
and reality. Help keep us on a level playing surface!
You're a very important person you know. Tighten up on Paul
a little also.
Good that you're
in your new home and that you made it safely. Hope your AC
is working up to snuff.

WILD GIGGLES!!!
Thanks,
George Sweetie!
I'll try to stay put -
and the AC is fine!

Vernon
Robert 'Bobby' Brinkley":
| Hi, Carol: Glad your Internet Service Provider has you up and running again, but the first email received from your new Fayetteville location was very sad. Thanks for passing along the news of the passing of Bobby Brinkley, Class of 1955. For those TYPHOON who knew Bob, let me share some of the three years he spent in the USMC. Corporal Brinkley was the Non-Commissioned Officer-in-Charge of Gate 15, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, VA. It was my pleasure to serve with Bob, as the Vehicular Gate Sentry. He was kind and generous, letting me ride to Newport News with him on weekend liberty, until his Honorable Discharge from the Marine Corps. I can still remember he was getting ready to study at Old Dominion University as his time in the Corps was coming to a close. He had served on Sea Duty in the Marine Corps, and was a Plank Owner for the USS Saratoga (CV-60) when she was commissioned at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York. Following that tour, he was assigned to the Marine Detachment, USS Leyte (CV-32) and upon completion of that tour he was assigned to the Marine Security Guard Company, Naval Ammunition Depot, St. Julians Creek. When the Marine Barracks at St. Julians Creek was closed, he was transferred to Marine Barracks, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, VA for his "Sunset Tour" awaiting discharge from Active Duty. Vernon was a high energy person, and was in the process of designing a tooth brush with tooth paste in the handle for the traveler and had hopes of getting a patent as he completed his tour. He had played football as a TYPHOON, so he was drafted to play football in the Marine Corps at Parris Island and later at Marine Barracks. The tragic way he lost his son devastated him for many years. Rest In Peace, Marine. Semper Fidelis, TYPHOON Regards, Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
Amen to that!
Thank you, Joe; my sincerest condolences on the loss of your friend.

From My #2 Son,
Brent Harty
(Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90) of TX
(currently
deployed to "the lands dark and dusty")
- 06/23/11:
| ... Over half
way done with the deployment. I just try to go shift to shift, do my
best, relax when I can by lifting and trying to play guitar more, read
scriptures more, keep up my daily Conference listening and prayers. Also
signed up to take my next master's class. Historiography...a 501 course.
A basic course of the 'why' & 'how' to properly study history. I hope it
is helpful and relatively easy...Looks like I indeed got a perfect 100
in US Military History!
...Ok, gotta run and hit the
shower. I just got done working out. I've been making good gains. My
main goal is cutting the last bit of belly fat, but after 30+ years of
living there, it does not want to be evicted! I am down to 15% bodyfat
according to my measurements with a 'fat caliper'. That is down 3% over
the last 3 months and down over 2 inches since I first got here. Not
bad. I figure if I can't shake it with my strict eating and workout over
the next 6 months, it will never go, unless I get surgery on it. Not
sure that is really in my money plan.... |

I
included some pics of me recently (white shirt) as well as some pics of
me posing showing off my muscles back in May.
... Glad to hear you all are
settling in... Ok, gotta run! |

Kings Of Leon--The End http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8IwrpqTfEY Alanis Morrisette-You Ought To Know--censored version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_m0bI82Rz_k&feature=related Collective Soul--Shine ================================== My husband and I decided to take our two children, then ages seven and three, to our favorite "adult" restaurant for the first time. The younger child refused to stay in her seat and danced around our table. Her sister, tears rolling down her face, laughed loudly at the three-year-old's antics and pounded the table. Beet-red with embarrassment, my husband warned them through clenched teeth, "If you don't start behaving, you'll never eat out with us again!" The man at the next table leaned over to his wife. "Look dear," he said. "Quality time!" ================================== My wife and I take turns walking our five-year-old daughter to the bus stop for school every morning. Today was my turn, and as I and all the other moms in the neighborhood waited, one of them asked me to say hello to my wife. "I will," I said. "it'll make her feel better. She has pneumonia..." "Oh, poor girl," they all said in unison. One of them crooked her eyebrow at me and said, "I hope you're helping her with the kids, the cooking and cleaning." "I can't," I said pointing to the band aid on my index finger. "Hangnail." ================================== QUOTES Information is not knowledge. --Albert Einstein Appreciate your life Appreciate all that you have, no matter how small. For there will always be someone who dreams of what you have. Chief Cause The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now. ~Zig Ziglar~ ================================== RANDOM TIDBITS Benjamin Franklin was the first head of the United States Post Office. The first macaroni factory in the United States was established in 1848. It was started by Antoine Zegera in Brooklyn, New York. The first telephone book ever issued contained only fifty names. It was published in New Haven, Connecticut, by the New Haven District Telephone Company in February, 1878. The A&P was the first chain store business to be established. It began in 1842. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was the first novel ever to be written on a typewriter. It was typed on a Remington in 1875 by Mark Twain himself. Twain did not want that fact known because he didn't want to write testimonials or answer questions about this "newfangled thing." King George VI of England became the first British monarch to set foot on American soil when he visited the World's Fair in New York City in 1939. ================================== Energy Tips At my home I always try to save energy. Not only to save me money each month on my bills, but it's really just wasteful. Turn lights off when you leave a room, keep thermostats low and wear an extra-layer; reduce your water usage; buy energy-efficient electrical goods - all these will save you money and help save the planet. (If I'm not using the microwave it's unplugged, if I'm not watching television it's unplugged along with the cable box.) ================================== Clutter I installed a new hard drive in my laptop computer. I have a lot of programs and files and the hard drive fills up fast. The laptop came with a 160 gigabyte hard drive. That was the largest one that I could purchase when I bought it. It was 60 gigabytes bigger than my last laptop. I was down to less than 10 gigabytes of unused space. I was running out so I bought a new 250 gigabyte hard drive. Instead of just using a utility to transfer all of the contents of my old hard drive onto the new hard drive, I reinstalled everything. I only installed the programs and data that I really used. When I finished, I had only used 100 gigabytes. Over 50 gigabytes of "stuff" wasn't there. It was a MountainWings Moment. I thought that I "needed" everything on my notebook but not only did I now have everything that I needed installed, my notebook's screen was a lot neater and it ran a lot faster. Our lives are often like that. We have a lot of extra stuff that we really don't need and rarely use. Our closets are cluttered. Our drawers are cluttered. Our garages are cluttered. Our computers are cluttered. Even our bodies are cluttered. Just look at belly buttons. The fastest growing product of the company that I work with is called The Cleaner®. People have the same issue with their bodies as I did with my notebook. Not only is it physical. Our spirits are also cluttered with a lot of stuff that is cluttering and detrimental to us. It is easy for The Cleaner® to clean out the body. There is no such product that you can buy to easily clean out the spirit. So how do we clean out the clutter? Computer - Reformat your hard drive and reinstall only what you need. You'll be surprised at how much space you free up. Closets - Remove everything that you haven't worn in one year. Yes, you'll find plenty that you haven't worn in a year. Take it to a Goodwill outlet or thrift store. Your "extra" clothes will be a blessing to someone else. Drawers "the kind you put socks in, not the kind you wear" - See "closets". Garages - That's what garage sales are for. Body and Spirit - http://www.Do42.com Jan 1st and July 1st It's time to clean out the clutter. ~A MountainWings Original~ ================================== From Attitude is Everything by Vicki Hitzges I used to wonder how they did it. How could positive people stay so upbeat? You know the ones I'm referring to: They brighten rooms just by walking in. No matter what trials may be going on in their lives, they give you the same hospitality you expect to receive while visiting Orlando. Everybody wants to be around them. We prefer positive people because it's no fun spending time with a person as chilly as an igloo. We enjoy warm, cheerful, upbeat folks who believe in us and remind us that tomorrow is ripe with possibility. Most of us want to be positive people. It's advantageous to possess a sunny outlook. Doors open to optimists. They make friends, earn respect, close sales, produce loyal clients, and others enjoy and want to be like them. The question is how can we do that? What does it take to be positive? How can we grin instead of grouch? Good news! If you want to pep up your outlook, this book tells how. Never forget...Attitude's are contagious. Always ask...Is mine worth catching? I hope it will be!
Thank you, Shari!

Petula Clark
(b. 15 Nov 1932)
You wander around
on your own little cloud
when you don't see the why
or the wherefore.
Ooh, you walk out on me
when we both disagree
'cause to reason is not what you care for.
I've heard it all a million times before.
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
Don't stand in the pouring rain.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
The night is long.
Forget your foolish pride.
Nothing's wrong,
now you're beside me again.
You try to be smart
then you take it apart
'cause it hurts when your ego is deflated.
um-m-um-um-um-um
You don't realize
that it's all compromise
and the problems are so over-rated.
Good-bye means nothing when it's all for show.
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go?
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
Don't stand in the pouring rain.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
The night is long.
Forget your foolish pride.
Nothing's wrong,
now you're beside me again.
Oh, oh, oh.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
Don't stand in the pouring rain.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
The night is long.
Forget your foolish pride.
Nothing's wrong,
now you're beside me again.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
