HOME INVASION ! SPICS ROB & BEAT NEWLYWEDS THEN RAPE THE BRIDE !
"Whitey Loughmiller" wrote in message ... typical spic bravado & chutzpah ...no respect! total parasites ! Shreveport, LA Investigators Close to an Arrest in Home Invasion/ Rape Case Sep 24, 2006 11:23 PM CDT Last Saturday the Towne Oaks South complex on Youree Drive became the scene of a reported rape. "They need to be put away, arrested and put away" said Shreveport Assistant Police Chief Mike VanSant. The couple who lives there reports two hispanic men forced their way into the home, robbed them, beat them, then raped the wife. "We have got some extremely strong leads and yesterday two of our investigators went out of town to follow up on these leads". For the couple, the investigation hasn't moved quick enough. "You've got to trust us, and let us do our investigation, there's things that you have to do by the book, and if you don't do those things by the book, it could ruin your case when it gets to court" said VanSant. And while no arrests have been made, investigators seem to be interested in Texas. "They went over to east... went over to Texas yesterday and got back lat last night, the investigation continues, and they're working really hard" VanSant said. Police assure the couple, and the public the extreme violence associated with this crime makes the case a priority. "If they commit a crime like that here, whose to say they haven't committed one somewhere else." said VanSant. The investigation continues, and the closer investigators get to an arrests, the more careful they have to be with information.

My nephew boat handled perfectly. He, my daughter and I went and launched at Vincennes, and headed north, went up to what is known as the "11 mile island" Saw some great scenery, watched eagles, turtles, etc. There were some branchs that we wwould ahve liked to have gone "exploring" in, and probably would if we had a trolling motor. |

One thing I did was to wire in a plug for a 300, million /whatever candle power light. we took it too. it came in pretty handy because we stayed out till well after sundown. We didn't run the 20 horse hard, but did figure it was propped right, cruised along well, just a bit over plane speed. I'm not sure how far we actually went, but we burned less than 12 gal. if the weather is nice this week end. Mike wan't to take the boat out again. |

What is a good brand of a reasonably priced depthfinder? I don't necessarily need something "top of the line" But if running on the river, it would be nice to know how much water is below you.... |

The lad got the boat of his dreams , Well, for a 17/18 yr. old. during the transactions and rfepairs, he turned 18. so Uncle Tim donated some parts and part of the labor (made him do a lot of it) as a Birthday present. He's saving up for a trolling motor as we speak. Again, I told him he doesn't need anything fancy. Like the Depthfinder. He can have some real fun for cheap. Jim, this has been a blast. Would I do it again? HECK YES! |

I work with 2 people however who have adopted children from other countries. In both cases, the issue was the large amount of red tape involved in trying to adopt here in the US. They both said the issue was not money as it was the same or slightly more due to travel etc. |

The only difference is that when you go overseas, it generally requires a visit for a certain length of time and on top of the fees themselves, you have to spend a certain amount in-country. That's the strange part of it. And, in general, it costs anywhere from 30 to 40% more to obtain children from overseas than it does here in the US. If you want, you can adopt any child with about the same amount of effort it takes to go overseas and do it. I speak from experience - mixed races and four US children to prove it. Here in California the donor parent used to have a long time to change their mind. Maybe a year. Heard a few horror stories about the adopters losing custody a lot later. |

I have actually seen them walk the neighborhood knocking on doors, while supposedly being there for a party or something! |

All told me what drove then to do it was several cases in the US where folks who had signed away any rights. Only to get lwayers so they could get visitation or some sort of contact. This was well before the age of majority for the kids in question was reached. I confess I am no expert on the matter. I will look for your reply to Bill.

Currently, the Humminbird ads still show relatively low-res products. Dan PS. There still isn't a "G" in Humminbird. |

The second time it quit, he told them he'd like a new one, they just flatly refused, and fixed it again. I think it's in his garage now, is the fact that the menu you have to wade through to do common tasks is annoying. Where you can do some things with the Hummingbird with a couple of button pushes, with the Lowrance it takes several submenus to get to where you want. That was an interesting paragraph. I got a headache trying to read it starting from the misspelled first word! If $125 was the price, Eagle/Lowrance will be a better product than Humminbird - at least a few years ago when I looked.

At each price level, the resolution in all units is about equal. Add to that Lowrance's horrible customer service, you'll have a clear choice. |

Personal experience with Huminbird, years ago, that they do not know about customer service. First LCD depth finder was a Huminbird. Switch broke about a year later, and the repair cost was the cost of a new unit. And since they used a switch with a metal disk in it, it was a guaranteed failure. |

My Lowrance is nine years old and has never shown a problem. I'd get another in a minute, but figure mine'll be good for another ten years or so. |
