Yeung has always wanted to be a mother and to care for her children in open, honest, patient manner. She understands that her role model is essential to the well being of her children. Yeung also realizes that when she or her children are ill at times, that symptoms are best to catch quickly. She shares her understanding of our 'mother earth' and the symptoms that are so apparent: elevated temperature, clogged waterways, lungs that are filled with particulates, and the loss of radiation protection from the diminished sun screen held high above our heads. She concluded that the warning lights are on and her children must quickly respond to save their 'mother ship' that Gregor clearly described. Click the Audio File below to hear this podcast.

More than 20 years had passed since the time Axel was financially forced to sell his beloved Martin D28s Guitar. But one day...Axel Girnus has been playing the guitar for a very long time. At an early age the guitar fit into his hands and life in a comforting and creative manner. Playing gigs, teaching lessons, working in music shops, and even making some life changing decisions when his country called upon his services. Listen in to his story below, hear him play a few licks, and find out what happened to his wonderful Martin D28s. Entertaining, fascinating, and such a great person. Sincerely Virtual Saguaro :) Martin Guitar History Fact: "With the tremendous interest in acoustic guitars in the early 1970s (which coincided exactly with the new "soft-rock" era of James Taylor, Loggins & Messina, and Seals & Crofts), the Martin company increased production to an unprecedented rate. As a comparison, in 1961 the company made 507 D-28s; in 1971 the total was 5,466. The company offered five different Dreadnoughts (as well as numerous smaller-sized guitars) to a market that seemed to grow every month." You might be saying to yourself, "What is a Dreadnought?" It is both a description of a guitar that has square shoulders and bottom made popular by the Martin Company AND the British Battleship of 1906, the HMS Dreadnought. Martin Dreadnought guitars are also known as "D-size" guitars, or, colloquially among musicians, as "dreads." Martin Dreadnought guitars have model numbers consisting of "D-" followed by a number, such as "D-18" and "D-45". Click here to go to a Wikipedia article for more information on this innovative and widely copied guitar design.

Runaway Train - Out of Control!"Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘‘the buck stops here.’’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit. It appears that once you get elected president, that your beliefs of what is detrimental to the USA society can change - drastically. Listen to an impassioned speech delivered in 2006 by the current president insisting that increasing the federal deficit was a drastic and irresponsible mistake.

It all starts with... "Vote for me and I'll make sure the government provides you more free stuff than my opposition." From Mike Maloney's 'Hidden Secrets of Money-Episode 4 Shown Below Questions: It's incredible and hard to grasp that the central banking system is probably not understood by most elected officials. Congress borrows money for all kinds of projects without the moral concern for generations of future indebtedness. |

German Wording Frank Winfield Woolworth, geboren in Rodman im Staate New York, USA, gilt als Pionier in der Entwicklung des Einzelhandels. Sein Konzept des Einheitspreissystems (alle Artikel kosteten fünf oder zehn Cent) machten Woolworth, ausgehend von den USA, zum größten Kaufhaus-Filialunternehmen weltweit. Die "öffentliche Warenpräsentation", also das Auslegen von Ware auf Tischen, damit Kunden diese direkt anfassen und prüfen konnten, revolutionierte den Handel. Von der Eröffnung des ersten Woolworth-Kaufhauses im Jahre 1879 bis zum Jahr 1916 gelang es Frank Winfield Woolworth, dass aufgrund seines dichten Kaufhaus-Filialnetzes jede Stadt in den USA mit über 8000 Einwohnern ein Woolworth-Kaufhaus besitzt. Bereits im Januar 1918 eröffnete das 1000. Woolworth-Kaufhaus in der Fifth Avenue in New York. | English Translation from Bing Translator Frank Winfield Woolworth, born in Rodman in the State of New York, United States, is a pioneer in the development of the retail.

The "public presentation", so the spreading of goods on tables, so that customers could touch them and check, revolutionized trading. From the opening of the first Woolworth department store in 1879 to the year 1916 succeeded Frank Winfield Woolworth, that every city in the United States due to its dense department store branch network has a Woolworth department store with over 8000 inhabitants.
