    Default Airport Security Procedures

    Holiday season is just around the corner now, and a lot of you may be traveling that don't ordinarily do so at other times of the year.

    Hightened security procedures at our airports need not cause undue alarm if you prepare ahead accordingly.

    Keep track of all updates on the Transportation Security Administration website before your date of departure at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtrav...rocedures.shtm

    I'll be traveling extensively during the last few months of the year and travel frequently in and out of ATL in Atlanta, one of the nations busiest airports. The wait can be frustrating at times clearing security checkpoints, but these guys are generally doing an awesome job.

    I hope all of you that plan to travel through the remainder of the year will have safe flights and enjoy the holidays.

    A complete list of currently prohibited and permitted items on domestic flights can be found here:

    Default A history lesson - Laus Deo

    A little history lesson you may enjoy:

    One detail that is not mentioned, in DC, there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument . With all the uproar about removing the Ten Commandments, etc...this is worth a moment or two of your time. I was not aware of this historical information.

    On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington , DC , are displayed two words: Laus Deo. No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less.

    Once you know Laus Deo's history, you will want to share this with everyone you know. But these words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia , capital of the United States of America

    Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might th ink, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world.

    So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply, they say, "Praise be to God!"

    Though construction of this giant obelisk began in 1848, when James Polk was President of the United States , it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo ............

    "Praise be to God!"

    >From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure, visitors may take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its division into four major segments. >From that vantage point, one can also easily see the original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles l'Enfant, ...a perfect cross imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the north, the Jefferson Memorial to the south, the Capitol to the east, and the
    Lincoln Memorial to the west.

    A cross you ask? Why a cross? What about separation of church and state?
    Yes, a cross. Separation of church and state was not, is not, in the Constitution. So, read on. How interesting and, no doubt, intended to carry a profound meaning for those who bother to notice. Praise be to God!

    Within the monument itself are 898 steps and 50 landings. As one climbs the steps and pauses at the landings, the memorial stones share a message. On the 12th Landi ng is a prayer offered by the City of Baltimore; on the 20th is a memorial presented by some Chinese Christians; on the 24th a presentation made by Sunday School children from New York and Philadelphia quoting Proverbs 10:7, Luke 18:16 and
    Proverbs 22:6. Praise be to God!

    When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on July 4th, 1848 , deposited within it were many items, including the Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society. Praise be to God! Such was the discipline, the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the founder and first President of our unique democracy ."One Nation, Under God."

    I am awed by Washington 's prayer for America . Have you never read it? Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on!

    "Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally, that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity,
    humility, and pacific temper of mind, which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

    Laus Deo!

    When one stops to observe the i nscriptions found in public places all over our nation's capitol, he or she will easily find the signature of God, as it is unmistakably inscribed everywhere you look.

    You may forget the width and height of "Laus Deo", it's location, or the architects, but no one who reads this will be able to forget it's meaning, or these words: "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." (Psalm 127: 1)

    It is hoped you will send this to every child you know; to every sister, brother, father, mother or friend. They will not find offense, because you have given them a lesson in history that they probably never learned in school. With that, be not ashamed, or afraid, but have pity on those who will never see.

    Default Atheist and the Bear

    An atheist was taking a walk through the woods.

    "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.

    As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.


    He turned to look and saw a 7 foot grizzly bear charge towards him.

    He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him.

    He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer.

    He tripped and fell on the ground.

    He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

    At that instant the Atheist cried out to the Lord.

    Time stopped, the bear froze, the forest was silent. A bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

    The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the BEAR a Christian?"

    "Very well," said the voice.

    The light went out.

    The sounds of the forest resumed. And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:

    "Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive through Christ our Lord, Amen.

    Default New Yahoo format sends stock plummeting!

    my feeble attempt at humor for the title

    Stock message boards on yahoo have always been worthless. Now they change the format, and everyone complains. Not to encourage anything other than this excellent board, and Cramers general wisdom, if you must delve into the gutter they brought back investorsvillage.

    InvestorVillage - Stock Message Boards for Serious Investors

    I just wanted to riff about the yahoo change in general. Again, this site (Cramersmadmoney.com) is the BEST.
    Also, tips are for waiters.
