“Hold on, man. We don’t go anywhere with “scary,” “spooky,”
“haunted,” or “forbidden” in the title.”

Cobb (along with bandmates Robert Nix and Dean Daughtry) later became part of the Atlanta Rhythm Section and re-recorded "Spooky" in 1979. ARS's version hit #48 in the UK and #17 in the US.^[5]

"Spooky" has also been covered by a number of artists including Dusty Springfield (whose version was featured prominently in the Guy Ritchie film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Andy Williams, Martha and the Vandellas, Michel Pagliaro (recorded song in French), Velvet Monkeys, Daniel Ash, Lydia Lunch, R.E.M., The Jazz Butcher, GoldieLocks, Imogen Heap, David Sanborn,^[6][7] The Golden Cups, The Puppini Sisters, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Marc Antoine, The Boris Gardiner Happening, Phish^[8][9] and The Lettermen.

The song's main riff is sampled in the song Why's Everbody Always Pickin' On Me? by Bloodhound Gang, released 1996.

I was so sad and then I started hearing from these old friends... made me so happy, much less what they gave me.  Thanks for your part in this.  I hope to be caught up soon.

Love you all, Jamey

Guards at Tomb of the Unknowns to remain on-site during hurricane

By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News | The Ticket

WASHINGTON—Hurricane Sandy is expected to slam the East Coast and the federal government is shut down—but the U.S. servicemen who guard the outdoor Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery will remain on duty.

"They will not abandon their post," an employee who answered the Arlington Cemetery's phone confirmed to Yahoo News. He identified himself as "George," but was not authorized to speak on the record to the media.

The tomb, located just outside Washington, D.C., holds the remains of unidentified soldiers from World War I, World War II and Korea.

   Absolutely amazing! Thank you, Mike!

This photo was taken during a storm in September 2012. The Guards are out there today (10/29/2012), still guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as Hurricane Sandy approaches. Bless these soldiers, The Old Guard, and their mission which they uphold with such honor --

   This is very humbling to consider, isn't it?!? Thanks, Dan!

   Hi, Carla - so good to hear from you!

   As of this moment, I have not heard any negative news from any of our people. In fact, those whom I thought would certainly have had a problem escaped unscathed, which was a tremendous blessing!

   The Daily Press posted images and videos of flooding, especially in Poquoson and in Hampton along Chesapeake Avenue, but I suppose we'll have to wait to hear from individuals about how they were impacted. We'll post such news as it arrives.

   Thanks so much for checking, Carla - enjoy your summer!

Good Evening.  After I retired from the Navy in 1976, I enrolled in Eastern Nazarene College.  The burser at the College was a Salvationist and she invited me to attend the Quincy Corps.  From 1977 until I closed down my Ceramic Business in 2005 I was a Bell Ringer as well as other Volunteer positions for the Salvation Army.  I certainly can vouch for the Christian dedication to helping the less fortunate by and through the Salvation Army.  I say this with true humility that working with the Salvation Army, I learned how to help without looking for earthly "atta-boys".  We used to say that how you reach out to the down trodden is by "Soup--Soap--Salvation".  When I told the Corps Officers that I was going down to Kentucky for 30 days and work at the Christian Appalachian Project with Father Beiting, in order to help them set up a Ceramic Business, they arranged to have a free will offering taken up during the Sunday Service before I left for KY.  The people in the Appalachian area are destitute yet very proud.  The Salvation Army in that very area assists C.A.P. whenever assistance is requested.  I am, to this very day, a great admirer of the dedication of the Salvation Army and I strongly recommend that you consider praying for the Organization as well as supporting them.  God Bless.   LAIC,  Barbara

Get your Omega 3's!

For people who do not like to eat fish, you can use Flaxseeds to get your essential weekly Omega 3 fats. Flaxseeds can be bought at any local nutrition store. Many companies offer the seeds already ground, but can be expensive. You can purchase Flaxseed in bulk for much less money and you can grind them in your coffee grinder. One tablespoon in any meal per day will increase your health. You may also consume the whole flaxseed without grinding them, however, your body does not absorb it as quickly and easily.

Stay Healthy! Live Better!

Truth

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

- Mother Teresa

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be."

- Anne Frank

Household Tip

Do not store dried herbs and spices near the kitchen stove because the heat will cause them to lose flavor.

Captain Reeves
===============

Captain Reeves needed my assistance to get 17.8 million out of Afghanistan. At least that's what the email said. Of course, I should believe him because he's a captain.

I'm sure that in exchange for my "assistance," I would receive a sorely needed reward of perhaps a couple of million for my invaluable aid.

I could use a couple of million right now. I've got bills. I'm sure that you could use a couple of million too, but the likelihood of it coming from Captain Reeves from Afghanistan or any other dubious figure from some foreign country is not only unlikely, it's likely to drain you of what money you do have.

The thing about these scams is that they are still working.

The old version was a letter explaining that you had some very large sum of money (usually millions) that was coming to you.

Once you calmed down and contacted your benefactors, they expertly proceeded to extract money from you for various fees required to get your millions to you. After all, what's a few thousands to get millions?

The letters have now been replaced by email and the scams run from displaced widows of military dictators to a foreign lottery. How can you win a lottery that you've never played?

You would think that if they sent you the money up front that you couldn't lose. Guess again. Our company or rather innocent citizens were recently the victims of just such a scam.

Crooks sent thousands of envelopes containing a letter and a$2,500.00 check. The letter claimed that the check was from the marketing department of our company and they needed them to participate in a marketing test. They needed people to deposit the checks into their accounts and then send $2,250.00 by Western Union to a foreign company. This would test how well certain employees treated them. They kept $250.00 as payment for their participation.

People actually fell for it and two weeks later they got a note from their banks saying the check was a fraud and the bank was charging them for the entire $2,500.00.

Sooner or later Captain Reeves (or perhaps General Sincere) will contact you with some seemingly too good to be true deal.

Dear Lord,
 


Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little prayer
Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
And safe from harm
For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind my asking,
Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual
To bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew..

Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.

When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.Com.



Amen
