Isn't it Odd ??
When thieves get caught...how they scramble to place the blame elsewhere ? They are in a maze. Try to shift the attention away from their actions.
NOPE...Don't think it will work this time...Cant find any lies to make up.... I'm sure they will try, Its just their nature.
Watch the fun is about to begin.

Lake Ashton Man Wins “Dairy Farmer of the Year” Award
Farmer Mark of Lake Ashton, Florida, has won the national dairy farmer of the year award. This award, given every year, is based upon total production of bottles of milk. In an exclusive interview, Farmer Mark was asked, “How did you achieve such a high production from your cows”?
“Well, he replied, our own Lake Ashton cows have been psychologically trained to want to give milk. We have about nine hundred stalls, and each stall is equipped with a special Emmex milking machine. At a thousand bottles per stall, that’s nearly a million bottles a year, and because the machines are automatic, we never even have to go near the cows. But we have even better ways of getting more milk, he added. We have uniformed greeters at each end of the farm that makes our cows feel secure. We get another two hundred thousand bottles a year just from that. I have an assistant, Farmer Joe, who keeps my cows occupied with fun things to do, and whispers in each cow’s ear how good they have it here. That brings in another four hundred and fifty thousand bottles a year. And we keep our pastures well cut and trimmed with flowers, and the cows give us another two hundred and twenty five thousand bottles just for that. Some of our cows, about 500 or so, like to graze on special pastures filled with little lakes and sand holes. Each one of those gives us an additional three thousand or more bottles of milk, or a million and a half more bottles a year. Even better, some of our cows get special food and drinks that we prepare right here in the barn, and they give an added eight bottles for each drink and 25 bottles for each special meal. Overall, that’s another two hundred and fifty to five hundred thousand bottles a year. But even better than that, our cows give extra milk each and every year to cover their costs of living in their own stalls. That’s another seven hundred and fifty thousand bottles. Yep, I guess we have the best dairy farm in the whole world right here in Lake Ashton. I sure hope nothing changes those cow’s minds and they keep on giving me all their milk”.
Have you been milked today?
Lake Ashton Dairy extends a hearty "Thank You" to the people who make it all possible and especially the following:
Jake, who never lets our competitors in the door;
Brenda, who's husband drinks two million bottles of our milk every year; and
Carol, who sells our milk for a slight commission.
STOP THE MILKING AND THE BILKING!!
VOTE Chickness, Fuller, & Cruz, FOR THE PEOPLE!!!

Gambling ‘tip’ is chance to educate instead
Lake Ashton residents were taken by surprise when they received a visit from Lake Wales Police Department as they were playing 50/50 Bingo one evening at their clubhouse.
There were no arrests made. Instead, local police tried to turn the matter into an educational opportunity for residents about what exactly is illegal and what isn't when it comes to "informal" gambling.

Gambling ‘tip’ is chance to educate instead
By KATHY LEIGH BERKOWITZ
Staff Writer
There were no arrests made. Instead, local police tried to turn the matter into an educational opportunity for residents about what exactly is illegal and what isn’t when it comes to “informal” gambling.
According to Chief Herbert Gillis, an anonymous person complained to Mayor Jack Van Sickle earlier this year that gambling was occurring at Lake Ashton, and the mayor forwarded this information to the police department.
Van Sickle is a Lake Ashton resident, and supports the Tuesday and Friday evening card games.
Van Sickle said “I think the bingo group does a fantastic job and there are a lot of people in Lake Ashton and in Lake Wales community that come here and enjoy themselves. It’s a good form of entertainment.”
Lake Ashton was not the only place police visited, Gillis noted.
“In addition, we received information that gambling was also occurring at the Tower Lakes clubhouse. It is important to note that our initial inquiry indicated that many persons were simply confused on the law related to games of chance,” Gillis said.
The police then prepared an informational bulletin that was also approved by the Office of the State Attorney.
Gillis noted the bulletin was distributed at community clubhouses where it is available to any group, organization or person who has questions regarding games of chance.
“As always,” Gillis said, “the principal goal is to prevent criminal offenses. As always we work to achieve this goal through education rather than enforcement.”
There are many rules to govern gambling of any kind.
According to Florida law, there is nothing wrong with a person participating in a penny-ante game, which is defined as “a game or series of game and of poker, pinochle, bridge, rummy, canasta, hearts, dominoes or mah-jongg” as long as the winnings of any player in a given round, hand or game do not exceed $10 in value.
Games must be held in premises owned or rented by a participant in the game or else held in “common areas” of a condominium, cooperative, residential subdivision or mobile home park that is owned by a participant or the facilities of an organization deemed tax exempt under the Internal Revenue s.501(c)(7) code.
This also applies to a college dormitory or common recreational areas of college dorms, or a community center which is owned by a municipality or county.
Lake Ashton Community Development District board member John Chickness said the community has played Bingo and Texas Hold’em card games for years.
Chickness said at the time the cops showed up, he was not aware that the game was illegal, but added “When the officers came in, they found that there was no money on the table, we play for chips,” he said.
Chickness asked a police officer at Monday morning’s Lake Ashton coffee meeting “are we the only one that’s singled out here?”
He noted that Lake Ashton residents screen all players to ensure they are indeed Lake Ashton residents, adding that many people have tried to come play poker on Friday nights, but are not allowed to play because they are from outside the community.
The law also states that nobody can receive monetary reimbursement for holding a game at their home or property and cannot either directy or indirectly charge admission or any other fee for participation in the game. They cannot advertise the game, nor the time or place of any penny-ante game, or advertise that they are participating in a game.
No one under 18 is allowed to play, and ay debt created or owed as a result of a card game is not legally enforceable.
Non-profit organizations that have a record of their tax-exempt status can hold chance drawings, but must follow the rules governing the conduct and operation of the drawing, according to state statutes.
Any form of disclosure that advertises a drawing has to announce the name of the organization holding the drawing, where it is located, and note the source of the funds used to award cash prizes or to purchase prizes.
Additionally, drawings have to announce when and where cash prizes will be awarded.
Violation of the statutes governing penny-ante games or drawings is a second degree misdemeanor.
Lake Ashton bingo and their non-profit RV organization’s bingo have raised thousands of dollars for local schools.
One recent donation was made to the Hillcrest Elementary School drum line to use for new instruments.
Chief Gillis noted if any evidence of unlawful gambling is uncovered, the police department will take civil and criminal enforcement action to stop it.
He said Officer Joseph VanBlarcom will conduct a community meeting in the future to answer any questions regarding games of chance.
Chickness noted that residents obeyed the law immediately after the clubhouse bulletins were posted.
“The question is what is considered gambling,” Chickness said.
“We know what the law says — we have no chips — so if there’s rumors that there’s playing for money, those are rumors, but no one can prove it,” he added.
Monday night bingo attracts about 50 players, he said.

And the wife says "yes you did I've been telling you for three months to get it updated!" and the husband yells "Be Quite! or i'll tape it shut!" and the officer says "ma'm does he always talk to you like this?" and the wife answers "no only when he's drinking."
GARY HUBBELL
ASPEN TIMES WEEKLY
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America's future. He is the best thing ever.
Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of America's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there is a seething anger in the populace.
That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America.
Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.
Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.
Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50 years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world. Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy. Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms. Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around, reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and "disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with dubious torts.
We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in disbelief, and we went on with our lives.
But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of dissatisfaction and unrest.
In the time of Barack Obama, Black Panther members stand outside polling places in black commando uniforms, slapping truncheons into their palms. ACORN - a taxpayer-supported organization - is given a role in taking the census, even after its members were caught on tape offering advice to set up child prostitution rings. A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.
I don't know about you, but the other day I was at the courthouse doing some business, and I stepped into the court clerk's office and changed my voter affiliation from "Independent" to "Republican." I am under no illusion that the Republican party is perfect, but at least they're starting to awaken to the fact that we cannot sustain massive levels of debt; we cannot afford to hand out billions of dollars in corporate subsidies; we have to somehow trim our massive entitlement programs; we can no longer be the world's policeman and dole out billions in aid to countries whose citizens seek to harm us.
Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing, they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No. It will be done through the interpretation of the original document that has guided us for 220 years - the Constitution. Just as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism, there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year 2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.

Lake Ashton new Fishing Boat
|
1944? No - it's the year 2010
Early Saturday morning in a rainy Seattle. 0300 hrs local time. The location: Boeing's historic Plant II - about to be torn down after three quarters of a century producing thousands of the most significant and historic airplanes ever built. In preparation for demolition, three airplanes that have been undergoing Museum of Flight restoration in the factory's assembly bays will have to be moved. Just as in days past, with lights and images reflecting off the wet pavement, the last three airplanes are rolled out. The giant hangar doors are raised, the tugs and towbars are hooked up, and with lights flashing, they are moved out of the factory and onto the historic ramp. Where so many have gone before. Then across East Marginal Way and out onto Boeing Field.
They are the last airplanes to roll out of these doors. Ever.
First out isn't even a Boeing airplane - but rather a Lockheed Super G Constellation that flew for Trans-Canada Air Lines. The Connie is destined for the Air Park, next to Air Force One, after a Plant II stay of 1 year and three days.
Next is a Boeing B-17 - especially heart-tugging as she is the last B-17 to roll out of these doors. Boeing built 6981 B-17s in this factory during WW II, at a peak rate of 16 per day. I guess you could say they built 6981 and rolled out 6982 - including this last ship - 65 years after her last sister.
A poignant moment in time
Finally, a Boeing B-29 rolls under the raised hangar doors and out into the dark and wet night. The very last airplane that will ever roll from this factory.
Everyone present knew they were witnessing history unfolding in front of their eyes. More than a few tears ran down more than a few cheeks, to mingle with the soft Seattle drops of rain.
A Boeing Plant II Primer The ramp that these three historic airplanes roll across, and the building they leave is one of the most historic aviation sites in the world. Here, in April 1944, are the 16 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers produced in this building - that day, and every day! Click here for a Personal Note about those B-17s. In October 1944, the first Boeing XC-97 rolled out of these doors - later to become the C-97 transport, KC-97 Tanker, and B-377 commercial Stratocruiser. (See the camouflage on the roof?) During WW II, the plant was completely camouflaged to look like a residential area as protection against possible Japanese air attack. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, myriad B-50 bombers and C-97 Transports are being produced in this factory. On 12 Sept 1947, a radical new airplane - the Boeing B-47 six-jet bomber Prototype is rolled out. This airplane is the direct lineal matriarch for all the jet airplanes Boeing has produced since. In 1952, in the darkness and wet of a Seattle night, the Prototype Boeing B-52 8-engine Bomber is rolled out and across East Marginal Way. She's shrouded in secrecy and covered by canvas and tarps. This amazing airplane is still in front-line combat service to this day. Here 277 B-52s are being produced where the earlier airplanes once were assembled. And, in 1966, the first Prototype Boeing twin-jet 737 was manufactured in this building and rolled out of these doors on to this ramp. This airplane (which I worked on - then, and which I still work on - now,) is in the Museum's collection. She's the first of more than 8000 737s built or ordered since then. She, and 44 years later, the Super Connie, are my bit of Plant II experience. And so, today - History meets History as the last three airplanes roll out of these doors. Boeing's Plant II is truly aviation Hallowed Ground. |

In pharmacology, all drugs have two names, a trade name and generic name. For example, the trade name of Tylenol also has a generic name of Acetaminophen. Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also called Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. |
The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin..
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink". Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of:
MOUNT & DO.
Thought for the day: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
If you don't send this to five old friends there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.

A True Fish Story
A guy who lives at Lake Conroe
(50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing
around. Kind of strange thing to see in the middle of a lake so he went to
investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfishthat had
apparently tried to swallow a basketball which
became stuck in its mouth!!
The fish was totally exhausted from trying to
dive, but unable to, because the ball would
always bring him back up to the surface.
The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out,
but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut
the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry
catfish.
You probably wouldn't have believed this,
if you hadn't seen the following pictures:
Be kinder than necessary because sometime in life...everyone bites off more than they can chew
