Many were like how come you did not update this the other day..
Well, I crawled out of the woodwork with my family, and we went to go watch this live.
I loved it.. The Choir, The Knightgale Steppers, the Drummers.. best of all the watching MLK's speeches on the big screen and knowing that many we saw performing and being honored has the same awesome, dream and goals that I been praying and hoping to see manifest. These events give me hope.. But I admit I am jealous to sometimes see people living and doing what I wish I could be doing instead of hiding behind a computer screen.. But truth is I grown so sensitive that even leaving the house now at all has grown into a challenge that I never expected to have. Watch this small clip enjoy, We honor the Dream of MLK for sure!. - DNatureofDTrain

"Happy Solstice/yule! to all my Pagan Friends!" - DNatureofDTrain
==============
A shared email from the ACLU to celebrate openly Gay and Lesbian people serving our country!
- DNatureofDTrain
====================
FROM: Anthony Romero
SUBJECT: Talk about a hard-won victory

It's done — finally. The Senate just voted to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

I realize it's the weekend and many of you are preparing for the holidays. But I couldn't wait to celebrate this victory with you because I know how hard you all have worked to make it happen.

This certainly has been a hard-won victory not only in the work we at the ACLU have done, but in the collective effort across the whole community.

It's been 17 long years of continuous struggle. But knowing that gay, lesbian and bisexual people in the military will no longer face the indignity and injustice of denying who they are or hiding who they love makes it all worth it.

Every time we win a victory like this, I'm reminded that the singular moment of success only comes after years of effort. When we win a lawsuit, it's usually after mountains of legal research, case preparation, court filings, and appeals. And some legislative victories can take years of public education, advocacy and "down in the trenches" organizing.

Sometimes, especially in political climates like this one, it's hard to be hopeful and difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But, we always stay in the fight, and sooner or later, the ACLU's persistence and unyielding commitment to principle pays off.

That's what happened today. So, let's savor this victory, then roll up our sleeves and start doing the often-unnoticed but vitally-important groundwork to set the stage for the next one.

Have a great weekend,

Anthony

12/20/2010 General News and Update

12/20/2010 12:48:00 AM

12/20/2010 General News and Update:

Update:

First off many of you know I care for a feral cat colony on a daily basis as I work to earn their trust and take care of my Cats and Kittens like a lil Babies.. My Cat Garfield had kittens during the first week of November other than being tiny and skinny they appeared perfectly healthy and normal for outdoor farm cats, But when it got cold they started to collapse one by one, I thought at first maybe it was the cold itself but after I lost two and three turned up missing (We assume they passed on in then night and the possums ate their bodies) ... My mother who is allergic to cats agreed to my bringing them inside three little kittens at first I was gonna leave the orange one outside because he appeared healthy to but since my mom said I could bring him in too I was not gonna argue.. I always wanted a cuddly kittens in the house... So I cared for them fed them spoiled them with attention played with them.. But the lil grey one refused to eat or drink no matter what I did.. I had to fool it while it was dreaming to get a little something in its stomach he passed on as we both were looking into eachothers eyes we fell asleep and then I dreamt of him playing with his sister odie.. I told odie if she did not behave and stop biting me every day I was naming her odie :) .. That was a naughty lil poofball... But She loved me and purred when I pet her and knew I was trying to save her... The lil black kitten went into an hour long seizure we are not sure what caused it.. But Garfields Mother, Radar, When she was a kitten used to have seizures... I did as I cleaned the room discovered a cough drop with bite marks on it I believe my kitten found it somewhere and that maybe why he passed..... the lil orange one I named Puss N boots I cared for him for almost two weeks.. he was my baby when he escaped his boxes or cage he would go only one place and that was on my leg or on me... I let him sleep on my for 3-4 hrs yesterday.. I put him down in the bed in his cage he meowed once and curled his paws around my finger tightly... then I let him hold my finger as I stroked his head and he fell asleep... 2 hrs later I came to check up on him found he had passed on with his paws stilled curled up around how he held my finger... I figure his lil spirit jumped out of his body and is still following me around as many of you know I am gifted with psychic ability.. I am definately having spirit kittens jumping on me or brushing up against me as I panick thinking there is a bug on me lol.. I also broke out in hives from spider bites... boxelder bug bites and lady bug bites I just was a bug meal lately.. So I been super sick over that as well as sinuses and broken wisdom teeth bothering me those teeth were busted after lightning struck three feet behind me and rattled me up and down so hard.. I then had corn kernals stuck in them for about a year..  Not having dental or health insurance  I just have to treat myself the herbal and over the counter way... It's been a very hard week part of me Hates G-d', for the last couple of weeks but most of me thanks G-d.. Because I so much need to feel loved and trusted and accepted for who I am, and those lil kittens are like my children, and Puss N Boots when he passed I found myself greiving like a mother who lost their child... I normally with my 6th sense do not greive that hard or long cause I am still in touch with them.. But after two weeks of holding this warm lil kitten that is so loving it will hug you with its paws, hold your fingers, and suck on its paw like a human child, and my favorite surprise me at times rubbing noses.. even if part of me cried ewey gross! since the kittens lil nose was all runny... he'd rub noses then lick all the snot off my face, I'd then wipe my face with a kleenex and some hand sanitizer :) We'd wake up having sneezing fits at the same time.. I never knew I could be so attached so fast to a lil kitten. Puss N Boots was definately my baby..... I went from 13 cats and kittens to 6.. a whole litter of 8 passing on so suddenly without two weeks... I believe they were born premature is why they were so sick all of sudden .. The cold weather is a factor but many of my cats and kittens been born right in the middle of a snow bank and had no health issues all their lives not even frozen ear tips ... Garfield, Koal, Kolette, and Peachy are doing good Trouble Tiger has another home he goes to as she comes up missing during winter months and rainy weather sometimes returns with bows on his ears.. Smokey, I hardly see anymore last I saw he played with his 5 brothers and sisters that are so wild they do not even approach the cat dish usually. He is around I hear him meowing at night sometimes he maybe just under the back porch where its warn we are hoping that is where the missing kittens are and that Garfield is bringing them birds. mice, and chipmunks to eat. As you can tell been a busy and dramatic week for me. RIP my Baby Kitties. The vets just give us eye salve .. and send us home usually they want to put them down on the spot that is how sick they are, but I always work my butt off to give them a chance, and I have had many cats actually beat the odds and make it.. Radar, Garfields mother was on of them. - DNatureofDTrain

Texan Army Captures San Antonio

On December 9, 1835, inspired by the spirited leadership of Benjamin Rush Milam, the newly created Texan Army took possession of the city of San Antonio, an important victory for the Republic of Texas in its war for independence from Mexico.

Leaded Gas Reduces "Knock" In Auto Engines

On December 9, 1921, a young engineer at General Motors named Thomas Midgeley Jr. discovered that when he added a compound called tetraethyl lead (TEL) to gasoline, he eliminated the unpleasant noises (known as "knock" or "pinging") that internal-combustion engines made when they ran. Midgeley could scarcely have imagined the consequences of his discovery: For more than five decades, oil companies would saturate the gasoline they sold with lead--a deadly poison.

Dana,

There has never been a more important time than now to stand up for trains and make your voices heard.

Today, Wisconsin Governor Doyle suspended the Milwaukee–Madison Amtrak extension project. Transportation Secretary Busalacchi issued the following statement: "At the Governor's request, I have asked contractors and consultants working on the high speed rail project to temporarily interrupt their work for a few days. In light of the election results, our agency will be taking a few days to assess the real world consequences, including the immediate impacts to people and their livelihoods, if this project were to be stopped."

Two media outlets have polls asking if the project be halted.  They can be found at:

http://www.wisn.com/news/25636317/detail.html

http://www.channel3000.com/news/25635287/detail.html

In Ohio, Governor-elect Kasich reconfirmed his position on the 3-C corridor saying "That train is dead. I said it during the campaign. It is dead. Passenger rail is not in Ohio's future." A story on the press conference can be found here:

http://www.wdtn.com/dpp/news/local/dayton/kasich-says-no-passenger-rail-for-ohio

But this re-commitment to the automobile is not well-timed. Just last week, the United States Geological Survey cut the estimate of undiscovered oil in the Alaska Oil Reserve by 90%, and in the previous week, Goldman Sachs predicted substantially higher oil prices in 2011/2012.  It is urgent that we create other ways to get around.

You can let your elected officials know that you want more trains, not less, at:

"As you all know I have been struggling to find a way to earn money to hopefully buy my Grandpas house from my parent's someday.. But, I also want to be able to pay them back for their generosity paying off my medical bills, and other things.. But, I can not seem to get my foot in the door to a paying job no matter how hard I try.. Transportation issues is a large part of it.. The other part is is injuries.. But I refuse to be labeled disabled and I do not want to end up in government ran programs to support myself.. So I been trying my hardest to make sales on here.. But that is not going so well I earned 11 cents from one sale total this entire year.. "

Note: The Book above is the same manuscript to my book I used to sell on cafepress.. I may someday reopen a cafepress store.. But I am still not happy with them not telling me they changed their policy to charge us money if we were not making sales.. So 20$ earned through 80$ worth of sales.. Basically went to nothing.. By the time I covered withdraw and banking fees I would have been left with one dollar after it all. So I have been very unhappy with what happened to me through that store in the end. .. If my sales ever pick up I will Also sell my items on lulu and amazon later on.. My books and chants mainly.. and my graphics in my stores I may sell as prints eventually. But they will end up as colleges since the prints are not as clear in definition as I wish since most of those photos were taking when a mini innovage digital camera, the rest I drew on paint or bitmap image.. then saved into a jpeg or gif., before I put them up on a store.. So the drawings took quite a bit of time to do.

I hope and pray my sales pick up soon. I also hope to get caught up in everything so I can add more items to the stores..  and Get on with writing my new books.

Crazy Train Abused by West boro Church!

10/7/2010 4:39:00 PM

I just discovered by Reading Ozzy Osbourne's Facebook Page this below, You all Know Ozzy's Crazy Train is my favorite Song. .. I also posted what I said on Ozzy's fan Page about this, using my pen name Casey Heinzism.  - DNatureofDTrain

=============================================

OZZY OSBOURNE:

“DISGUSTED” BY

CHURCH'S USE OF “CRAZY TRAIN”

http://www.msopr.com/?q=node%2F5882

 

"Casey Heinzism to Ozzy Osbourne: ... This church has a serious history of getting away with harassing people... As an ordained minister myself whoses favorite song is your Crazy Train .. I am also transgender.. I sing the song when feeling upset or hateful because your song calms me down and makes me feel loving and happy and in a party mood.. No one should be abusing Crazy Train, the ministry, or G-ds word to spread hate like this.. If EVERYONE would stand against these actions, and I do not mean resorting to "hate actions and hate crimes" I mean taking ... See Moreaction in a good loving means. My Group and I call it RAIL REAL ACTION IN LOVE! ... OZZY RAIL AGAINST THEM! TAKE REAL ACTION IN LOVE! .. And sue them for abusing your group's song. All of Ozzys Fans ought to join the opposing groups and help block these people from protesting and harassing people the more people that peacefully stand between them and the target the less effect and hurt they will cause! Also every individual that this group harasses ought to press charges, and file restraining orders. That will also help in the long run. ie ie Ie LOVE the Crazy Train! and I love Ozzy! May the Spirit of Crazy Train blow right through their wall of hate, and leave it burning on it's tracks to dust!"

"Now for those who do not remember This church that is doing this.. This other news article link my best friend shared with my ought to remind you of these idiots." - DNatureofDTrain

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=147339

"If you are on facebook feel free to add me as Casey Heinzism to your friends list, and add like the DNatureofDTrain fan page.. I consider this a special post sorry I have fallen so far behind in posting I been healing from minor injuries from a fight I got into when a man grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me into the basement last week.. I am hoping to resume normal posting as time goes on I am okay just sore and have a small lump on my wrist, so I am working hard to get caught up as well as not to overdue and further irritate my sore wrist." - DNatureofDTrain

 

"I am all for freedom of speech and protest.. But there is just certain things and places you never do or go to for your protests. Crashing anyones funeral is wrong, Harassing and getting into the faces of anyone who is greiving over the loss of a family member who just died is downright wrong let alone.. picketing a funeral in this manner.. You can hate people, and still be enemies and show eachother high honor and respect, as Jesus taught us to do in LOVE for one another. Does not mean you have to love them as your friends. LOVE your enemies. 

It is not and never will be right. The Phelps family is just as bad as the Terry Jones idiot who thought it was cute to burn the Qu'ran, and mislead the media into all the lies about the supposed New York City victory mosque built on ground zero. These Extremists nuts are getting away with harassing people FAR to much and often. Freedom of speech is one thing. But crashing another's sacred rite and claiming to be a church Is and always will be AGAINST G-D!.. We need to bring back the universal way of treating others as we wanted to be treated, Living life, in respect and love as best as we can. Not giving into the low blow ways of these seriously sick people." - DNatureofDTrain

8/2/2010 Miranda Rights

8/2/2010 10:00:00 PM

8/2/2010 Miranda Rights..

I think and have noticed to many people take our "Rights" for granted..
But to many realise how many of ours are being widdled and taken away from us in the name of security and improvement...

We have lost our rights of privacy, by being filmed by security cameras everywhere we shop or travel...

We have lost our rights to photograph eachother, and even participate in photo contests without being arrested by the ones running the photo contests.. not naming names.. okay.. I will.. AMTRAK! ...

We have lost our rights to live in privacy without the general public knowing where we live and what properties we own.. now anyone in my area can log online and find out by typing your name right on the county site! .. It is really pathetic!....

Now, we are losing our Right to remain silent.. when for some maybe trying to cover or hide their own hinder.. but for others like myself.. I want my right not to be dragged into and getting involved into anything! ...

I am more likely to help the law enforcement if I can do so anonymously which I used to could do by like the FBI tips site..  I used to participate in helping clean up alot of crap I ran into.. but I stopped when the so called "Patriot ACT" was passed.. and we no longer could be anonymous... our rights are slipping away further and further...

Some people are fooled into thinking if we pass this into law the world will be better! They only look at it from one view! ... Then until after the law is passed and numerous are hurt by it.. it is one yell of a journey to try to repeal it...

This doing away with Miranda Rights is not good for any US citizen.

This is about the longest I wish to host on the front page at once. I was trying to change the page style but most have a white or blue background the blue is to dark and white is to bright.. makes it harder to view and read.. So I will have to set a backround image of my own probably..  My whole begging message will disapear as at this time I do not have a scanner to draw, but if anyone wants to hire me to make graphics using the computer mouse and drawing this way I can.. via odesk.. or by 5$ amazon gift certificate. The links at the top to the FBI and IC3 news will be put in the news feed section, and that removed from this page. My banners will stay for now... And most 90% of the message explaining why we relocated from blogger will be removed.. Just leave it at technical difficulties...  the subdomain dnatureofdtrain.co.cc will remain directing to this blog at the moment but in the future this domain may be used to direct to my main webpage if this happens there will be a page on this page that will link to a list of all the blogs I run... I am gonna pull the chat scripts, and chat message.. I will reintroduce a chat on all my blogs at once when it is ready.. but for now I am to busy working on many projects to set up and run a chat community.  The rest of the ads and banners will remain on this page for now.  Thanks everyone for being patient as I try to reset this blog up, and get things organized...

So, Now I can resume posting and updating my news blog again..
However, Please be patient with me as I am behind in emails, and ework..
So, it will take a little time to get caught up.. and I want to get the archives off this blog into the topic group... so there the page is not so long to load.. and I am having troubles figuring out how to delete and remove the archives.. If I continue to have this problem.. We may end up moving to blogging via html on an my actual website..  However, My DNatureofDTrain website host provider is complaining about server use.. and without my knowing and my friend knowing they rolled back the servers and disabled our forums..  So.. that plan is not safe to do at this point in time either...
I'll keep you all updated on what we are gonna do.. Feel free to start dropping in as I will start to spontaneously post both railroad and non railroad news again.

7/8/2010 9:16:00 PM

I regret to state this but when lightning took out the older computers I lost about 400 articles to post railroad, casey jones, and general news.,.. some I might be able to recover in another email.. but don't count on it.. as I am way behind work and such now.. The computer I have now was gifted to me by my best friend Tammy aka Shelonewolf.. We have our fights at times but no one could ask for a better friend in the long run. The only bad news about my new laptop is it is really old 2001 is the oldest program I found on it, and the harddrive is 14 gb.. so I can not do all my work sites until I can afford a portable hardrive to connect to it, I fear wearing this poor old computer out... to easily if I do to much of my normal high computer use with it. So I will post and do what I can... but the activity will be low until I can for sure resume all my normal activity. - DNatureofDTrain

lightning stikes again 7/3/2010

7/3/2010 10:37:00 AM

I'm back... the lightning took out three computers here is where I disapeared too and I could not access this blog from the library or another laptop I was borrowing.My best friend Tammy, gave me her old laptop it works well.. but I do not want to overheat it trying to post 100's of railroad news a day.. this blog is called my favorite news articles.. so what I will do is post only my favorites the rest will be forwarded to my highballing yahoogroup... less copy pasting and easier to do... I will also throw the rest in the archives section but will not be able to archive it as fast as I wish as this is the only working computer I have the others are toast can not be repaired goes to show you that even people like me who work with thunderspirits are not immune to them causing mayhem..

Just my luck...

6/22/2010 1:55:00 AM

6/22/2010

Just my luck.. This goes to show you.. That even people like myself who have good relations and works with the thunderbeings are also not exempt to being struck by lightning.. or having their computer damaged via lightning strike.

We had a group of very nasty thunderstorms roll through Wisconsin Last night...

And the Lightning was popping Tree leaves all over the place like fireworks as it rolled off the house and rattled everything in site...

Even watched it bounce around the deck furnature and explode off the desk straight shooting into the marsh ...

It was exciting.. But now since my own computer is down.. This means I am out of work on all my Pay to Click sites.. Because to work those I need very good anti virus, bot, and computer protection even more so.. and I am not gonna risk doing that kind of work on my moms computer.. So I had no choice but to request payout on most of the programs... And the ones I can not request payout on I will buy advertising and advertise my listia link ...

The good news about this is.. I at night instead of working the PTCs will be working to update this news blog, and will be working on mylot and mahalo more.. which may actually increase my earnings in the long run ...

The bad news.. is it is a royal pain for mom and I to compete over one computer, as she needs hers for her foster parenting documents etc... And I need one available to do my ework.. I may be able to request payment in my earnings .. but I of course was mainly saving them for a new home.. not a new computer...

If anyone wants to buy my ebooks and chants directly through me and not my store... or wants me to try to write them a story.. I have poor grammar, and sentance structure.. But I can get a good story going if you can get past that.. I am willing to write small custom stories if people want to pay via amazon payments, amazon gift certificate, or paypal.. I prefer the amazon options.. or they can hire me through odesk .. But I do not have a whole lot of times.. So I would ask you pay the amount you think it's worth .. in the final product..

Well, I gotta head off for now.. My vision is still bothering me..

- DNatureofDTrain has left the station.. will try to catch up on things..But the same Lightning Striking kind of luck that I have.. Struck again ... to my evil computer.. I usually threaten to kill the thing with a hammer.. I guess Thors hammer got to it before I did.

"If the companies do not really want to honor these cards then they need to stop giving them..
As to me this kind of thing yells "SCAM!" ..
I know companies do not want people mooching or abusing..
But when you do free deals or cards like this you know you'll have
to give a bunch, and considering as much items and products that are thrown
away on a daily basis for expiration..
There is no reason for companies to turn their backs..
But, yes the individuals whose name is on the card,
is the one that should be honored if they want to get things
for friends or others.. Maybe allow them to add 2-3 others they can honor to a list with the card.. but that is only if they wish to do that... otherwise card uses have to stick to the TOS and agreement...and be able to  be allowed to as long as they are at the front desk paying... The companies should always honor such cards..

But, the people with them should also at times be decent enough to thank these companies..
by making actual purchases on and off aside from the cards..

However this giving away to celebrities to exploit them for photos is just a poor tasting tactic to begin with." - DNatureofDTrain

6/17/2010 - Railroad News - Janesville, WI derailment

6/17/2010 3:11:00 AM

Railroad News Jun 17th 2010 - Specifically the Janesville Wisconsin Derailment.

"I am not to far from there, and this is one of my favorite railfanning places. What they did not cover in this small articles is that three cars basically just came off the track a little bit.. the train did not tip stayed upright no one hurt.. but the traffic chain effect backed up three towns, for hours :) . Is the only reason it made the news.. otherwise this is a random common minor.. not to worry about derailment.. So minor in fact that yes I did sense it on my 6th sense.. But, it was not distracting to me I could go about my day.. with hardly any issue.. as many know my 6th sense sensitivity to train wrecks and derailments can cause many issues for me.. I will eventually site down and write my stories about this sort of thing maybe I'll restart my psychic blog,, but I just do not have the time lately and wish I did.. " - DNatureofDTrain

6/9/2010 RIP Sam and General news

6/9/2010 1:59:00 AM

"Some of these are older articles.. But.. These were the top stories for me this week. Sam Aegerter, went to the same school I had... I mentioned before I did not think I knew him.... I just did not know his last name.... Although we were not close friends into really getting to know eachother. I do remember his smile, his sense of humor and caring heart. He was a mutual friend or an acquaintence in my highschool. But, a person although for as little as I knew him. I may not have known his name.. But I will not forget his smile, and caring. I have not been feeling well all weekend.. It seems because this event happened near one of my favorite railroad crossings.. and because it involved someone I knew.. My 6th sense did tap into this. I am not gonna get into detail as what happened is all covered in the news articles. But, I saw visual images that made me want to cry.. Felt strong pains in my neck that traveled into my head.. As the train passed through where I live 11 miles from the town this even happened from.. The energy of what happened came to me by the passing train .. and 2 days later Sam, showed up to tell me his killers were caught, and left a message to let everyone know he/his spirit is okay.. I feel odd passing messages for anyone when they had just passed on but sometimes I have to.. My guide recommended I share the Butterfly Greif song, so I had... I wish I got to know Sam as well as my friends had... But, I told them.. They should feel blessed to have an angel in his life.. Though at times he had struggled with things.. But, his struggles are not topic for me to discuss. I wish his Spirit rests in peace, but I know he won't.. He is not the resting type, he is a partying type :) . My prayers and thoughts are with all his family, friends, and loved ones, and others he has touched. And Thank G-d his murderer was caught... Now I pray he does not get off with an easy sentence..

Makes me smile, even thought I am a little eccentric to really fit into those communities lol. Glad to see they are preserving history as best as they can. I remember years ago it was all over the news about the last Brand New caboose.. It was orange colored too I suspect this is the same one. I remember when it was parked in Milton, Gaulking at the window looking it I thought It was pretty, and liked it.. felt sad it was the last. EOT or End of Train devices they claim did the same work.. But nothing can replace the real work a caboose did.... All of todays trains look incomplete without that little caboose, as the end." - DNatureofDTrain

Had bad dreams about the wreck in India woke up and mentally cussed the spirits out informing them to stop informing me about train wrecks until they can start to give me information that is helpful and useful to myself and the world around me. I am tired of just seeing things in my mind then living it like reruns of a bad movie.. it's irritating. I had issues all week with my Google account those appear to be resolved for not at least hopefully blogger does not keep messing up my google account I went through and emailed my important documents to myself in my other account just in case I will also email files as well for this reason to myself.. and back them up in another place as well..  I then was at my Grandparents house waiting for my first listia auction item I won.. I won a tracfone it has no airtime or minutes but that is fine as I most likely will not be using it right away anyhow until my steady income increases.. as least I know it will work for emergency services.. and that is the only thing I wanted it for.. until I can afford airtime and minutes.. even then It will only be used for job applications.. I do have my eye on peek pronto mobile device so I can keep in touch with my closest friends away from the computer by email and text message.. but again I am still working to save my money and increase my income before I buy anything new... and while someone keeps dragging my belongings out of the basement or around it and going through my stuff.. I discovered my most secret writings were got into.. my original notes for the founding of my religion many pages missing and torn out of that as well as my original DNatureofDTrain book.. So I am very peeved over that. My family needs to keep their hands off my belongings.. I have done all I could up to this point to not get the law enforcement involved if this continues I will get them involved.. As I am fed up with it. 5 years of them destroying anything that means something to me little by little is enough.. They either need to stop, or I am out. Cause I am not gonna live this way anymore! No one deserves to have their privacy violated, and sacred items descrated, and property vandalised.....oh my missing Cat named Trouble Tiger returned.. .. So flipit is off the suspects list again.. for now :) - DNatureofDTrain

5/27/2010 Still upset

5/27/2010 9:43:00 AM

5/27/2010 I am still upset.. But finally Googles phone verifcation system worked, and I was able to get back into my Google account... So I am able to access my mail, voice, docs etc.. and feel alot better. I went into Blogger and deleted my one blog they did not remove.. and This time.. If I did not finish transfering any of the archives out of the old blog.. it is lost.. Cause I am not gonna spend weeks or months trying to restore it and get my posts back.. I am fed up with Blogger, and their antispam technical difficulties.. There staff I do not think is even human I think that to is automated bots..

Which leads to me why.. I added a New news feed to the top of the Blog. Mahalo is a human powered search engine.. Where people can ask questions and leave tips, and earn money for participating on their site, and cash out gift certificates.. I of course love the amazon ones....

I have decided if I do not save my home, on time.. Then I will be cashing out those gift certificates to have my a cell phone services, and a peek pronto device.. So I have a way to keep in touch with people away from the computer.. As my prime choice to keep in touch is via email ..  But that may take a long time too to earn the amount I need to be able to afford that.. The weather has been nice.. and I been waiting for a gift in the mail.. So I been walking alot trying to catch the UPS or fed ex person that is gonna deliver my item :) .. After the 4th truck I wandered back to my parents house got bored of waiting :)

As well as getting the needed exercise to restrengthen my legs and ankles.. and sunshine to battle my depression.. I however had an insteresting rainfall pour on me the other day.. I raised my hands hoping it would just downpoor on me.. well I did not realise it would open up literally like a hot waterfall! it made me cover my eyes and laugh, and I was just loving it!.. If I had realised the mail I put under my shirt was just junk mail ... I would have stayed outside in it but the rain fall so hard it stung your skin like hail!  It was the best thing that happened to me in awhile :) ... But I confess I ran from the rain and yelled, "Yes, I am a weather wimp today!" lol.. I usually call everyone who runs from the rain and snow weather wimps.. I mean you are not gonna melt if you get wet and so what if you have little drops of water all over ya :)

Still upset with google

5/26/2010 8:33:00 AM

I am still upset with Google, I have emailed all week trying to get ahold of their customer service and support people to get my Google Account Reactivated. It was deactivated because Bloggers, Anitspam Bot.. Saw my OLD Railroad News Articles and Sharing Blog.. (The one I had ran before relocating to here) and again deleted it and locked me out of not only their blogger services but my entire google account....

I hate Blogger! ... I really Seriously hate them! .. Because my Google account had 6 years worth of my email on it, My documents.. So now all my BOOKS I was working on some I was about to be published are GONE.. MY google voice phone number is GONE! This means no one has a way to contact me..

My 21$ earned in the last 6 years from Displaying Google Adsense ads on all my blogs, and Website.. Would be also Gone...

IF google does not let me back in! .. Now I really LOVED Google services and smiled at them and was in the process of moving most of what I did off of yahoo to do there! ...

Guess, what! Yahoo's account verification system lets me back in the system in Two days! If I mess up in one area of Yahoos monopoly.. and it is an error on their end they write a serious heartfelt apology letter and let me back in.

Yahoo! is much better at how they treat me than Google is! ...

My Lord, If you do not have a moble telephone number! and Your Google Account suspends you! Beware it wants your mobile phone number to verify that to allow you back into Google! ...

I have a mobile phone on the way in the mail.. But, I do not know how long it will before I can afford or activate services on it...

But, if I loose everything on Google. The whole world will here about how This so wonderful internet giant with stocks worth more than the average retail service has basically locked me out of everything! .. Over a technical issue... With Bloggers's Antispam bot! ..

As I have NEVER broken their TOS or guidelines....

Blogger.com Has made it to my official boycott list. AVOID and do not use blogger... Google.. will reach that boycott and I will contact over 5,000 Activists on this issue... If, Someone does not get off their butt, and review and find out that I as dnatureofdtrain@gmail.com Have NEVER broken Googles TOS or guidlelines.. Chances are if something happened.. then my account was hacked... But it appears linked to blogger.. I will post a trail of emails about this issue right here on this blog.. So you can see for yourself what has happened...

Google "Do No Evil" Has done evil when they basically cut me off from my Ministry writings and documents.

It's funny... How Blogger bans my blog for mutltiple links on the same topic assuming it is an automated poster putting up this links I copy paste and search for these myself.. it takes me 2-4 hrs to update my blog, each time I do so! ...I am not a bot.. But their antispam bot thinks I am! If their members are not allowed to use bots, or automated messages to post on their blogs, Then they should not be allowed to use anti spam bots.. To lock out blogs! A real life human should have had to read all 4 years posts of what I did on my old Blog.. To prove I am NOT a spammer! They supposedly have these larges groups of people.. Well Since Customer service is taking so long.. Shouldn't the rich internet giant hire more HUMAN BEINGS! .. and throw their automated system to the curve.. I think so... I have never felt so disgusted with both Google and Blogger as I do now.

Railroad News Mix..

5/25/2010 9:54:00 AM

Railroad News Mix.. Yes this is a repost it is mixed dates..

"I took the ones I knew the dates to out and plugged them into their rightful dates.. as These mixes sort of look sloppy.. I rather only do the new mixes with General and Casey Jones news.. because those really are mixed dates.. That I do not easily keep track of while I post them.. There will be a times I will do a mix of all the articles I missed from a certain month.. and also let you know they may or may not be expired. I do copy paste and post these all by hand... I had issues of Blogger.com accusing my old blog on their service of being a spam blog. The blog I hear here is the exact same blog, and the topica archives at the exact posts. Nothing about it broke guidelines or TOS.. It is their antispam bot that has messed up.. Now I still can not get back into my Google.com account at all.. and may have lost my 21$ of google adsense earnings that this blog, my site, and my other blogs have earned through ads since year 2006 .. When I used to originally host my blog on blogger for that long.. I had no problems with google or blogger until after they merged.. That is when my blog, and google issues started. I am boycotting blogger services.. but I am not boycotting blogger blogs..as I feel every blogger has a right to choose what service host to go to.. But I recommend all bloggers make a seperate account for their blogs, so they do not lose everything should bloggers automated system mess up...I have tried contacting google numerous times on this no mails from their customer support, nothing. .. Google itself is closed to being added to a boycott list as well. And I pose this question to think about for all my readers. How come they do not want to allow automated bots to post on their blog services, but it is perfectly fine for them to use bots to moderate their blog service? ... Why no hire real human beings that will not mess up and if they do you can hold the real human being.. behind it accountable! .. That is partly why the economy is going downhill and so much is being messed up .. They want you to believe the computer is perfect no errors.. This is wrong! the computer databases and record keeping department has messed up more for me in more ways imaginable than any group of human beings every could. Bring back the humans, Hire the Humans! Create Jobs! I rather deal with a human error instead of a computer error.. Humans are meant to make mistakes every now and then!" - DNatureofDTrain

"First off, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy National Train Day!" - DNatureofDTrain

"I shared the message below copy pasted from the NIRAIM yahoogroup.. Just to make ti clear.. I am not the one who is hosting it Homewood is. " - DNatureofDTrain

Homewood' s Seventh Annual Railroad Heritage Weekend will herald in the summer railfanning season in Chicagoland next Saturday, May 15th, and Sunday, May 16th--just one more week from now!!!
 
Here is our current (as of May 8th) program of events:
 
Saturday May 15th
 
7-10 PM:  Annual Multimedia Digital/Slide Show (St. Joseph's Church Gym)
 
This year we will again be at our venue at St. Joseph's Catholic Church Gymnasium, immediately across the street from our main Sunday Train Show venue at the Homewood Village Hall, located at the corner of Dixie Highway and Chestnut Road in downtown Homewood.  The church complex is right across the street from the village hall, on the east side of Dixie Highway.  LOOK FOR THE EVENT DIRECTION SIGNS IN TOWN!  This venue was recently refurbished, has high ceilings, plenty of seating, and lots of free parking.  As usual, we have a great lineup of exciting presenters for you:
 
TRAINS magazine is making a first ever appearance at this year's show and will have a meet & greet set up at the show Saturday night!
 
Program:

1.) Paul Burgess: "Hot & Cold Running Trains: Railroading in the Summer and Winter"  
2.) Matt Van Hattem: "The Last Week of Conrail"
3.) Chris Lastovich: "Juice: Today's Midwest Electric Railroading"
4.) Mike Riha: "30 Years Later: The Last Days of the Rock Island"

 
Intermission
 
5.) Joe Petric: "And Now for Something Completely Different: Today's Railways in Europe"
6.) Lloyd Rinehart: "Sweet Home Chicago"  70's and 80's action in our hometown.
7.) Jerry Pyfer: "Tales of the Rails: The ICG Version!"
8.) Mystery Short - Only three minutes, but you have to be there to see it!  (It's a big name)
 
The recession-reducing cost of this year's show is only a miserly two dollars!  Yep, two bucks buys you three hours of some of the best rail photography action you'll see all summer. Come on out and and have a good time!  We will have our unique and limited line of Homewood Rail Weekend T-Shirts for sale, as well as the usual suspects in terms of refreshments.
 
Sunday May 17th
 
6-9 AM at the Homewood Railfan Park (Harwood Avenue and the Metra Station Headhouse)
 
Hosted railfanning with FREE coffee and donuts from Homewood's very own Neilson's Bakery.  I will be on hand to answer questions, point out local opportunities, and otherwise make a nuisance of myself.  The CN/IC/Metra 8-track mainline through downtown Homewood is usually very busy during these hours and you can expect any number of freight and passenger trains, including Amtrak's fabled "City of New Orleans" and the "Saluki" corridor service.  Free parking right sits across the street.
 
All day - Rail Equipment Park open for touring (Park Avenue and the Metra/Amtrak Station)

 
Homewood's resident and carefully restored Illinois Central GP10 8408 (Hand-washed and waxed for the occasion!) and caboose IC 9426 await your inspection at the rail equipment portion of our park facility, located on the west side of the right-of way, just north of our vintage 1923 Illinois Central passenger train station. New for 2010, the caboose interior has been fully restored to its in-service condition and will be open for tours this year.  You can access this site by taking a walk through our vintage 1911 pedestrian tunnel from the east to the west side of the right of way.  Don't forget to take a look at the many railroad themed murals in the tunnel, created by students at Homewood-Flossmoo r High School--we will be unveiling new ones this year as well!!!  This tunnel can also be used to access both the Metra and Amtrak passenger platforms.  Please observe relevant Amtrak and Metra safety and access rules.
 
*****NEW***** 1PM-3PM Illinois Central Model and Railroadiana Display at the Village Hall Display Cases and at the Homewood Public Library, located just across the street from the mian venue and just north of St. Joseph's School
 
9 AM - 3 PM Prototype Equipment Display
 
Homewood's hometown and headquarters railroad, Canadian National (ex-IC), will have an assortment of prototype equipment on display along the Metra parking lots on the east side of the right of way along Harwood Avenue north of the Railfan park site.  As of today, May 8th, the equipment list is the following:
 
CN 2227 Brand new GE Evolution Series locomotive
EJ&E 661 SD38-2
IC 6017 SD40A  NOTE this is the only unit from IC's original SD40/SD40A fleet repainted into CN colors and the last original in service.
IC/CN E unit and passenger cars, #'s not known at press time.
 
NOTE:  As everyone knows, this can change last minute, but that is the lineup we have been told to expect as of today, May 8th.
 
9 AM - 3 PM - Train Show  (Village Hall and Firehouse, corner of Dixie and Chestnut)
 
Looks like another busy, banner year for us!  Layouts, historical societies, authors, vendors, industry displays, and yep, it's all still FREE admission!  Our tables are sold out and as of now (May 8th) our list of participants includes:

My listia promo and General News Mix

5/4/2010 4:17:00 PM

5/4/2010 My listia Promo, and General News Mix...

"Well, You all know I am struggling with a money shortage.. Maybe you are all too! .. So, I discovered this free auction site, where people can earn points, and buy with points items auctions off. I posted my first auction of a Coke rewards code, because at this time I can not afford to do shipping and handling.. on anything.. However, I hope to sell enough codes over time to maybe purchase visa gift cards, or Amazon gift cards, then I can let my family pay me in cash offline, for the item they want on Amazon.. or sell them the gift cards for a lesser price..

Which would then allow me to earn some more money in the long run myself. So, this is my first auction... and hopefully tonight I will be able to update my news blog. I did not last night because when I woke up my hair was so matted to my scalp I just spent most of the night talking to my best friend as I picked through my hair. I found the culprit I had a nice sticky dandelion stem stuck in my hair :) ..  The joys of wildlife wanderings.. Now, I'll hop in the shower.. work on my e-work.. and I will be replacing my bidvertiser ads with a listia ad .. I will readd my adbrite coding on this page later... I hope to be able to recruit many new people on listia to help me in my task to also earn money in a different way...  It would be awesome if I could earn many points on their to get many visa gift cards, so I could pay my family for my food, and stay, and bills they have paid off for me..  Anything to help my family, friends, and myself out.. with my goal to get my Grandpa's old house. Please, Join and Happy Bidding and Sales to you all!  " - DNatureofDTrain

 

Hey, I thought you might like this free auction on Listia.

Coke rewards
http://listia.com/11rfV

Don't know what Listia is? It's a new members-only site where everything is free and you can get some cool stuff without spending any money. You give away the things you no longer need, and get things you want for free.

It's all done using free credits instead of real money. Most people start with 100 credits, but this invitation gives you 150  to get more when you start. I'm already in and you can get started by clicking this special link: http://listia.com/11rfV

I really love the site and hope you do too!

"Being known as Mother Nature for a larger part of my life, Still has me thinkin' in ways to protect the oceans, and our land etc.. Not to Mention my spiritual beliefs in protecting Earth Mother.. Who sustains our life while we are suppose to live with her in Harmony, I work with Nature Spirits as well on my Shaman path.. And they warned of massive storms and flooding in the Southern States over this issue.. I did not realise it would come within a day, as I seen a series of storms hit TN so bad that even the Casey Jones events were cancelled in Jackson, TN .. I worry big about this oil spill, for my friends in Biloxi, MS and Wildlife all along the ocean and coastline.. My Florida friends the beaches.. People seem to downplay often how serious this really is. But, it only takes 2.5 drops of oil to contaminate a gallon of water.. So how many gallons of water will the original estimate they now say is 5 times lower than what they think is flowing out now.. 2.5 millions of gallons of oil .. Imagine how much water that will contaminate if we do not get this contained? ... That is why is is so important for them to get this capped off. One way people can help is urge all the people they know who are hair cutters and pet groomers to donate to this group.. 'matters of trust' also get all their funding projects they have listed completed.. This can bring in new worm farmers, that can help renourish top soils washed a way .. as well as not only clean up this idiotic manmade mess.. As my old Mother Nature personality would State... 'Humans think they are smart.. But they are the stupidest of creatures, at times. ' The Weather Spirits will send tornados, and floods and drench the land as their way of forcing water out to sea .. and natures way of dispersing a mess.. I can't blame nature for fighting back and trying to push humans away from it's coast lines... Another stupid humid thing is to keep building in the flood plains.. and call good plants weeds just because they are ignorant of how it functions in the ecosystem, like ragweed for instance makes us all made with allergies.. but this weed renourishes the soil over time and tends to grow in areas of poor soil .. Natures way of healing bad dirt basically.. " - DNatureofDTrain

"Avatar Spirituality, was based on Pantheism, Hinduism and Polynesian.. Althought the Spirituality is very universal towards Natives around the world relating.. It reached out symbolically in more ways than I imagined even towards my Heinzism..
I had no idea it would in Heinzism we always wear a braid symbolism Loving one another and being connected with all things and beings.. Very similar to their peoples tendrils at the end of their braid like thing allowing them to communicate with the soul tree, tree of souls, ancestors, and their animals. Very symbolically strong to those of use who practice Shamanism, communing with our Ancestors, Universal Tree of Life, Mother of all.. Even totems.. can be matched up to the Warriors and their creatures...
I thought the movie was gonna be another overhyped let down, after reading all the negative news articles I have been sharing.. My thoughts to those critics.. are.. Just shaddup already! ..

"I am not sure if you are all into watching Tornados, and Thunderstorms.. They all fascinate me, Make me feel good and scared all at the same time.. Although usually the wonder and awe take over the fear, and I become a foamer to the Thundering Express of Clouds training across the skies, with my shamanic recognition. I often work with thunderspirits and other forms of weather spirits.. They like people have many different personalities some like me others throw lightning bolts at me.. Cause they do not like me others thrown lightning bolts my way as validation of what I am and what I am suppose to do. No one who is called to becoming a "Shaman" necessarily wanted to be it. Nature and the Spirits choose a Shaman, Some people take quests hoping to be chosen but few are..
For years I never understood why I would be called or forced into this, as my path is so eclectic even to a Traditional Shaman I appear "plastic" or "fake" at times... I am non - traditional although I use both traditional and non traditional ways. Now, do to my Native Heritage of Lakota and Cherokee I have to stress that you do NOT confuse me for a Traditional Ceremonial person tribal related.. Although I have been blessed with recognition with similar titles by the Tribal Elders.. In the end.. I choose to use the label Heinzism, So I am not confused with the Traditional Shamans, or Shamanic practicioners, as no matter what spirituality or journeying practice I do I will always stand out as being non traditional, and a contrary I challenge the system of all religions, and spiritualities..
Just for the fact of being connected.. and open to all of them.. Now.. One book I read I do not remember which stated that all religion begins with Thunder and Lightning.. Man's fear of it and reverance of it.. This may or may not be true.. for all. But my Heinzism forming as it had. Has definately been shaped by my experiences with the ThunderSpirits, and as well as many other important beings that have also influence and formed other religious and spiritual traditions. So when I watch a Thunderstorm or tornado.. To others it maybe just consequences of scientific cause and effect. For me, I see living beings in these storms, and communicate with them quite a bit. But, Like people sometimes they work with you.. Sometimes they don't. So you can understand then why I love to watch the Weather channel at times :) ."

I had planned to update this entirely yesterday but I ended up really sick in the evening.. Asthma acting up and been fevering and chilling on and off anyhow ... which stinks... But this morning... If I laying in bed hear strange rumbles within the 7am hour.. it maybe the space shuttle! :) ... You all have a good day.. I doubt we'll hear much here cause I am in Wisconsin :) ... But if its clear skies this morning I'll know I'll see the trail of smoke at least .. as I have before...  I will try to update the news later today or this week. We are also having some technical difficulties with the computer, and some serious family drama on and off.. I will have new digital recordings to share soon for free downloads it's sounds I recorded.. I hope to get going on updating my website as well.. I will catch you all later.. I think I am close to getting over whatever this sickness is..  We'll return to our normal schedule soon :) .

4/13/2010 General and Railroad News

4/13/2010 2:01:00 AM

4/13/2010 General and Railroad News

General News

"First off, In the United States we are suppose to have these freedoms, called freedom of Speech and Freedom of Self expression. We are also suppose to have the right to be able to have fun with mascots, and cartoons, and other images. Although I do agree people should not be allowed to misrepresent, and purposely offend other cultures, heritages, traditions, racial, ethnic, sexual, and sexual identity... But to far, I am seeing such issues being pushed so far to the extreme, that is makes no sense, and it tears apart a town that was never offending or racist, or sexist in the first place.

Now, when I went to Milton, WI .. I graduated in 1999 ...

At my graduation ceremony they retired the "redmen" name with the school superintendent. ... But what many forgot to realise is before this.. I was the last Redmen Mascot .. And would I serve as the school mascot if I found it offensive to my Lakota, Cherokee, and Irish heritage? ... No, Milton, WI primary uses of the Redmen name and mascot never once had offended me personally from my time of entering school in 1986 - graduation in 1999 ... What I did find extremely offensive, is how outsiders came into our town, and accused us of being sexist and racist.. .. I agreed Milton, WI like many had to learn how to more properly display their Native mascot.. But in the end.. yeah I was a tiny bit annoyed at things, but I found how the people from out of town, and how many Natives reacted to be even more offending than any of these mascots themselves...

I agree caution needs to be exercised when displaying, a head or a person dancing, or holding specific items...  I also agree that Native ritual should not be imitated or Native dance.. during sports events etc.. Unless the dance was taught and given permission to do use for such occasions..  However, I do not feel that Banning Mascots that Use the Head, or names like Indians or Redmen is necessarily appropriate at all either. A Town has their right to choose their own representation of their self expression. If other towns, and people do not like it.. That is fine. .. Who all agrees at all times about what is always appropriate and not? ... I do not run around trying to ban everything to me that is offensive, or offending to me.. And the world does not even want me to get into that....

But... I am for freedom of speech and expression. If a town using a Native Name or Mascot, does not with the board using it meet with the outsiders that are offended to learn what is appropriate and not appropriate of their usage I understand everyone being upset and offended. However, If we were to ban everything that offends other people.. There would be nothing left! ... Nothing left in symbolic representation ....to allow towns their fun with their school and town spirit and pride! ....

I never was offended by the Redmen Mascot or Redmen names, I am still not offended by Milton's new Mascot which is a soaring Redtailed hawk as they call themselves Redhawks. I heard specific stories of what I said and shared were brought up at the meeting regarding this.

I wish my Native Brothers and Sisters would stop going over issues like "Native American" or "Indian" Mascots.. How about we all tackle more serious issues. If you want to go after mascots. Do not go after mascot use, Go after mascot Abuse... These types of bans and bills in my eyes are very ridiculous, We have better issues, and things we can sign into bills, and laws, and that we should be tackling.. especially at this point in time...

Instead of attacking a schools, and a towns right for their freedom to express and represent themselves..  If they misrepresent themselves why let it offend you? ... Issue a statement that they are not affliate or associated  with you, move on and be done with it.

I find it more offensive to know my biological mother was adopted off the Cherokee Rez in Oklahoma.. to a non native family, Then she ran away from their met my father and had my sister and I on the run... That part is not to bad but because my biological father got drunk and took a shot at my sister, myself, and mother in a hotel, my sister and I were placed into foster care at age two.. and every since we are placed they wanted to deny that we really had Native american heritage, and all while growing up. The US government did not want to allow my sister and I to write in that we are Irish, Dutch and "American or AmerIndian" as we used to call ourselve before "Native American" term came into play.. What offends me personally. Is I am not allowed to join my Tribe, Band, or Nation, or even legally on paper claim my Native Heritage... Because the government does not see proof or representation of blood quantum..  why go after piddly issues like Mascots, when this kind of thing is tearing the tribe, band, and nations families apart?.... I love my heritage and people..  But I do not agree with many of "Indian" activist groups .. And I have absolutely no support for a bill like this being passed at all...... We have better issues as both Native and Non Native people to fight about.. Than over how a town represents itself... or misrepresents itself for that matter.

Many people of Milton, WI will be offended I brought this up. However, out of all the issues I watched this town face. I never seen anymore more torn or broken down over the mascot issue. An issue that never had to be an issue in the first place.. Which then for its first time made me feel displaced over my Mixed Irish, Dutch, Cherokee and Lakota Heritage I felt ripped in two.. As I supported my town, but I also supported our people who did not want to be offended..But, I bet if they spent more time getting to know the people of Milton, and were at the school and sporting events.. in the end they would not have been so offended at all.

"Awesome story!.. but I admit I am jealous.. One reason I been trying to raise money to buy my Grandpas is house is not cause I just want the house, but I want to be able to hand to my parents 365,000$ dollars :) .. for the place.. and if I can not earn that much at least bank what I can earn to help pay my own bills to my parents, So they are not losing money on me, and that I am no longer dependant on them. I do not want to live on state support, or welfare, or even draining my parents of money. I have for years kept a hidden database of all the money I would love to pay back to my parents before they pass on. I would love to be successful so my 60 year old parents could retire, and enjoy their retirement, as they have given alot to myself and to the world. Even my mother who is my favorite topic to harp and rant about. She deserves a good retirement as well. :) . .. It's a dream, but I do not have the savvy and success that 9 year old has had for his sales. I congratulate him, and his family for succeeding, I still pray to find that way to suceed myself." - DNatureofDTrain

Two Words "Family Feud" Some of my Family members and I been going around in circles growling at eachother... Really stupid silly Feud to be honest...and the result was I was banned from using the good computer for a few days, things are resolved now so I should be able to resume the normal news posting.. however I will start archiving up to 1-2 weeks to be displayed at a time as the Blog page is just becoming to large, and difficult to load....

I am sorry I will not be able to post a catch up on last weeks general news, or non railroad news... I will however update the Railroad News...

"I personally do not recommend EVER making movies regarding negative images of the Amish community. Doing so is against their religious and beliefs. You do not make Ungraven Images when it comes to Amish culture it is highly disrespectful to them as a whole. Many will not ever even allow a photograph or a picture of them to be taken of them for this reason. If you want to take their picture always ask, if they state no, respect it and move on..  Now I have biological ties to this particular Amish community.. So when I read about things like this.. I think would I like to see a movie made about a seriously traumatic event that happened in my own family community? .. do I want media and people from a culture I do not live in and understand to exploit that event? Of course not..  So, Please, do not make this movie, or any movie regarding a negative or traumatic event in an Amish community.. with the exception is if the community approves and votes on it.. Otherwise.. No way, do not mess with it is highly disrespectful. Do not mess with this part of my own biological family.. That is where my Dutch heritage comes in... If this movie was already made.. do NOT air it.. ..you have been fairly warned.. " -  DNatureofDTrain

3/201/2010 a story, and General News

3/20/2010 3:47:00 AM

General News

"I have been having interesting dreams of exploring old places, that were under rennovation..
These dreams have been reminding me of a man I used to see about twice a year.. He would stop by my sisters house around Thanksgiving, New Years, and Easter..
My sister said he showed up every holiday.. I knew whoever he was he was important as I watched him walk to everyones houses.. But I had no idea when I shook his hand, gave him a hug, and talked about money, and houses, and cats with him..
That I was shaking hands with one of the richest people in the US. I knew he was a part of massive rennovation projects in Beloit, WI.. and was impressed.. the last time I saw him was standing at the mural of the old Iron works building..
Happily looking at the cleaned up creek rennovated building and loving the awesome mural.. And that was the last time I gave him a hug before he passed on .. oddly falling off a roof.. Who was he? Ken Hendricks. He offered me a job numerous times..
But, to me he was a stranger, and I was a under 18.. and I knew my parents would not approve.. I am 30 years old now, and they still do not want me to work.. They want me to stay around and help them out.. I have no problem with that.. part most of the time as long as I am allowed proper rest, and destressing time..  But.. I do regret turning down the opportunity of learning how to build houses.. as I do love to swing the hammer.. Maybe I'll do that if I can not get into railroadin.. but for now I just run my stores.. and hope and pray that Kens Spirits, along with my ancestors and friends are their guiding and watching over me.. and that maybe some of the hard earned luck of the billionare was blessed to me through the generous handshake. I knew I had many powerful ties and connections and inspiration with my life.. But the more I really start to learn about some of who I have met yearly.. The more I wonder.. as in wow.. and how? :) ..
I am glad I did not know to be honest, as I got to meat the generous side of him the nice old man.. That always had me scratching my head who is this man that shows up handing us 20s and 50s? .. I only spent that money on my cat supplies I would still have it to this day if it was not stolen from me.. but.. that if course would go to my medical bill.. The best part about that is my parents would wonder.. How did I always come home with more money than I had when I left. I could not tell them.. That Ken Hendricks stuck it in my coat collar after I said no thanks, Money is evil lol :) ... But.. that evil money rescued my pets from fleas, ticks, and earmites so it was not so evil after all :) ....Well.. I would later on state money is only evil if used for evil.. As that is the truth.. He would ask us if we knew how to be rich one day. I said I heard of this man fixing up old house and getting rich that way I like that story the best.. and he had happy tears and big old twinkling eye and a hug.. I had no idea at that time... that the man I had heard about.. was him.. until after he passed away. That Happy smile, happy tears and hug.. Is worth more than a billion dollars ever is .. so isn't generosity and kindness. I have turned down many opportunities to be rich.. Not because I do not want to be rich as who does not.. But.. because I saw something I knew good coming out of my handing my 36,000$ lottery to my parents for their new edition.. And turning down a 400,000$ reward to keep one family out of homelessness send one woman to nursing school that contributed to the study of the vaccine for cervical cancer! ..  I guess Ken Taught me well.. about the real meaning of philanthropy and helping others.  I just.. for the last 3-4 years have been searching for that magical way to help myself.. I do not want to be famous I already am.. I am rich too not in money, but in experiences.. I hope someday that my financial riches will catch up with the rest.. So I can improve my health, and also do what I enjoy doing best.. Helping others..  :) ." - DNatureofDTrain

Casey Jones

- March 18th 2010

"I am often asked why I did not go onto college, or other things.. the main reason is my math abilities stink.. sure over time.. I can figure out most math but it takes me hours or days.. I can't hardly do long division ... I struggled with algerbra had one good teacher had me doing straight A's once.. but then had a Bad teacher the year after who was having me stay after school on nights doing her math club.. as for whatever reason she thought it was more important for me to learn how to count in Aztec numbers.. than to learn my Algerbra.. I am like What am I gonna apply this too? ... I think she assumed I was Aztec heritage.. as when I stated just native American everyone would apply their own sterotypes.. needless to say I did not learn much in math skills and abilities... and I forever hate those math teachers.. One teacher that was doing great with me left in the middle of the school year.. to go teach NASA!  .. I felt so betrayed althought I was happy for her.. the new teacher we had hadn o idea what she was teaching us.. So I ended up left hanging.. as often happened with me either that or the math teachers would get so frustrated with me they would grow violant if I had a penny for every time my hands were Whipped with rulers.. over how they hated how I held the pencil, or this or that. The one thought I loved long division I stood up on the board from the beginning of class to the end as she told the class how proud of me she was for wanting me to do it.. Finally I did my usual trick and Busted all her chalk to tiny pieces cause small chalk was her pet peeve..  At least she would make me go clean the erasers and get new chalk.. as for me that was huge mental relief to get out of the same room, and take a break from the subject that often made all the lightbulbs above my desk burn out.. again and again.  I had one great Math teacher too his name was Mr. Dorn.. He knew I wanted to work on the railroad so we dug around for as many train related math problems as I could find.. For extra credit he helped drill me on those over and over again .. I was surprised how many of those came to me naturally... If I ever get rich and he is still teaching I would hire him to tutor me.. Mrs. Cummings and Mrs. Britain .. NEVER would I want them to be my math teachers again ...The NASA one I never did learn how to spell her long name.. My 6th grade year book was stolen so I can't look it up in that either...I was As and Bs student in all else.. but math .. That sucked.. "  - DNatureofDTrain

Rules that Warren Buffet lives by

http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/108903/rules-that-warren-buffett-lives-by

"My own facination with facial hair and beards.. Many of you know I am a woman, and I am always having a small war with family members who want me to get rid of my whiskers.. I sometimes trim them short so they can't see them since they are blond anyhow..  :) But.. if I could ever tame them I was thinking of maybe a Mighty El Insecto style.. Since that seems to be the only natural hair pattern I can get close to growing. but I may have to stick with stubble once in awhile to please my hairaphobic family members. This woman put most male beards to Shame!.. Which also brings me to correct a sterotype.. Many believe most "Native Americans" can not grow beards.. due to genetics many have, can, will and do.. Just our hair pattern is different and not as thick in most cases is all. Other than people like myself with Mixed heritage.. Where it is common for Men and Woman to develop some facial tuft.. I also found it fascinating that before the stupid witch trials how common in many cultures it was for women to grow beards, or wear false beards. Why, American culture is so afraid of hairy legs, beards, and other areas is beyond me... As long as it is clean.. I don't care :) . " - DNatureofDTrain

Meet Jim Careys new grandson

"We need to stop this if we banned everything that was offensive their would be nothing. I am Lakota, Irish, Dutch and Cherokee.. I was also Milton Redmen's mascot twice.. and the last mascot before they retired it to make Mr. Platts the honoray mascot in retirment... I had no issues with the name Redmen being used. I did suggest to change the Indian Head because that is what the big stink was about more than the word Redmen.. But, I personally was never once offended by it. My native name is Towodi.. Hawk .. Hawk Warrior Spirit Keeper of the Tracks... Later on Milton Wisconsin changed from Milton Redmen to Milton Redhawks. I love the Redhawk name as much as I did the Redmen name.. But if you ban everything that is offensive to a culture or tradition there is nothing left.. I personally can list many mascots I find offensive like the Fighting Irish and Drinking Irish Sterotypes.. But, I am not gonna run around and demand all Pubs to cease used of their Irish Names, and for the Notre Dame to discontinue their mascot.. Why? I believe in the right to freedom of speech and self expression.. and for me a little fake cartoon character representing team spirit and pride, is not something to get all mad and upset over if it does not meet my personal expectations. .. but that is me. I do not want people telling me what I can wear, and how to respresent my team and myself.. I try to be respectful to everyone, but I also know that I can not please everyone all the time. Including my own Native Brothers and Sisters who are throwing fits over these cartoons and characters.. but yet when I got to powwows I see really bad drawings and characters of Custer, and other Non Native Soldiers, and political figures.. If they want to cease it for my White Half they need to cease this behavior for the Red half too.. Do not require schools to abandon these mascots, but instead require.. Them to know what is allowed and not allowed to do appropriately with properly displaying these mascots. For instance. It is NEVER appropriate to imitate Native Ritual or dance... You would not want us dressed up like the fighting Irish with a clerical collar mocking Church Communion on the football field.. with an over exaggerated preist.. that is One example.. I know one thing as a Heinzist.. That sort of irritates me is people assume, every dance I am doing outdoors with my drum or rattle is a raindance, and interupt my prayer and worship rituals constantly.... it has irritated me so much so I usually only do my rituals in total solitude now, or people want to complain about the beat of my drum, but they find it fine to blare Rap music.. at any hour of the day or night.. Now as a Heinzist I practice Native and Non Native spirituality.. It is very eclectic and very mixed.. Yes, I am recognized as a Shaman.. from 11 different traditions considered my Heinzism as a Shamanic path of it's own... But my spiritual Tradition is Not the Same as Native American, or Russian Shamanism.. What I do is very unique and mostly spirit guided or personal to my own experiences.. The Sterotypes constantly bother me, although I do stop and laugh at times.. When cultures clash... There will be a day I will come out of solitude and actually hold public Prayer Circles.. but.. until I have that courage, faith, and feel secure enough to do so. I just wish my Brothers and Sisters of all cultures, and religions would stop fighting, pointing fingers, and nitpicking so much at eachother for little things... Like .. cartoons and mascots.. " - DNatureofDTrain

Legislation could require schools to abandon Indian mascots

2/27/2010 Chili Quake

"Of course do not forget other areas effected by Natural Disasters! I often wondered why Haiti quake recieved more attention then the last major quake and huge Tsunami that effected the entire Pacific Rim.. before.. It is not a contest of course who helps who more but what is important is all these areas struck by natural disasters are helped, if you can not spare money. Try click to donate sites, Keep them in your prayers and thoughts. Positive thought energy and prayers can manifest into some great things. They are always in my prayers and thoughts. This quake my 6th sense did pick up on around 2pm yesterday central time usa is when I started to get ear ringings shakes and dizziness.. feeling itch all things I feel before sensing quakes I did recieve details later on by I was to ill to post it drained and tired...I had no choice but to go to sleep..I could not function...I have spoke often about the Ring of fire area being more active at this time. This is suppose to be the hard year where it will get really rought natural disaster wise.. and the end of the cycle is suppose to be dec 25 2012 .. People keep saying end of the world. No, it is a dramatic change in the world. New Land is gonna be formed new ancient cities rediscovered.. other places covered up and wiped so well you never new they ever existed as what we witnessed in some places like Katrina.. The Earth is changing, and our technology is changing.. It is interesting on both ends. stay safe, and pay attention to the Earth's Changes.. " - DNatureofDTrain

2/26/2010 General News

"Now, Where I stand on hunting and saving animals is very controversial. I am not against Hunting animals, if they are on your own property, or are bothering your livestock. I am not against hunting any animal in a small quantities on your own property. I am against mass killing, and over harvesting of animals, I am against people massively hunting and poaching animals that are endangered, and rare. Now, in my opinion if a person wants to hunt a couple of wolves of coyotoes on their own property or with permission of the property owner I do not have an issue with that. But, Considering most of the USA does not eat or use coyote or wolf meat.. or all parts of the animal they harvest. I do not see any legitimate reason for any corporation to step up and want to slaughter thousands of wolves, the only exception is if they bred and farmed the wolves on their own land!... Or if it is a serious over population issue. Then harvesting or hunting wolves is not a bad thing.. Because when animals are to populated in a small area of terroritory.. HUMANS included. They start to attract disease, illness, and even become violant towards eachother due to lack of space, food, or resources, However.. I would always prefer they relocate the Wolves or coyotes at the right time.. keep the packs and families together.. Instead of slaughter them. I would rather not see either of these animals hunted, but I do understand the difference between how hunting is and can be beneficial to both Humans and Animals.. and yet, how it can turn around and harm both in the end too... If they want to push stupid things through like "No Wolves allowed"... Then Say oh No wolf stories allowed in school on t-shirts or hats.. So I guess reading the three little pigs is out since it talks about the Big bad wolf! " - DNatureofDTrain

Defenders' wolf expert and Northern Rockies Representative Suzanne Asha Stone worked with the producers of NOW on PBS to show the long-term benefits of wolf reintroduction in Greater Yellowstone and the northern Rockies.

" AUTISM AWARENESS INTERNATIONAL :-) Bulletin

Posted by Eric Evans

Well I wanted to toss this out there again for all those who may have missed it. I had about 400 people tell me tthey would be interested in awareness clothing and have one order so far. I know there has been some issues with mail getting delivered here on Facebook. So figuring maybe you guys may not be getting this. If you are leave me some feedback if ya just dont like what you see or want something else. I can not buy the bracelets at a good price yet, because I have to buy a bulk amount up front to get them for you at a decent price. If you search the net you can find tons of places selling them. I will have them eventually along with other items if this basic site does well. It is very basic just to get things started. I added options to ship to Canada and Austrailia today, so it will automatically add shipping when you check out for those countries. Thanks much to everyone who is supporting this cause. It has been an amazing ride with such amazing people for the last year. Next big mark is a Million people. Invite your friends, post your stories and share your wisdom. You guys are awesome. Here is the site link for awareness clothing.

"I for the most part am against Quiet zones, However.. I would personally approve of these wayside horns in areas where multiple roads are within a short distance of eachother.. For the locals and engineers sake.. BUT, You need to keep in mind should the railroad crossings, and or horns malfuction.. you may end up listening to a horn and signals dinging without a train for 2-4 or more hours depending on how long it takes for people to report the signals and horn going off without a train. So this attempt to make it quieter can and will at times make the area a slight bit noisey... as weather happens, quakes, happen, broken rails happens, and electrical malfunctions happen.. So keep that in mind. It is just so much easier if the world would learn to respect stopping at the crossings.. would save alot of money and noise.. But, I firmly believe the crossings need to be marked clearly by sight and sound, as well as a warning sign approaching them.." - DNatureofDTrain

I am also organizing a list of all the friends networks and yahoogroups and facebook groups I am on.. That in itself is work work work.. :) Enjoy the news mix.

"I understand this China has been destroying their country, culture and people for a long time. I love some Chinese Traditions, and culture.. But I do not agree on bit with how they are Treating Tibetans, and other cultures over there.. I especially think they ought to get their darn melamine, and leadpaint issues under control, or other countries ought to ban their items, or place warning labels on them.....I Hope in the coming New Year China will wake up from their darkness and handle these issues the right way, or the Karmic Tiger should fight them, not all Chinese just those responsible and who are participating in such injustices... After all I do not hate Chinese or Chinese culture. I hate injustice, carried on by them or any other culture. " - DNatureofDTrain

Yesterdays IL quake

2/11/2010 12:24:00 AM

2/11.2010 Yesterdays IL quake

"Many have heard but many may have not about the Earthquake in Illinois felt as far north as Madison, WI and as Far South as TN... .. Well, I live in Janesville, Area of Wisconsin... I felt and heard it too. I have experienced quite a few different quakes but this one was very very different.

In the other quakes I have felt the quake itself felt like it traveled slower across the land, and the shaking seemed at a slower pace...

This one the shaking was very fast, very intense, and very loud, in the others It did not seem to make a sound.

My experience was this. I was at the computer chatting with my friend.. Prior to the quake I was having strange headaches and my ears kept feeling like they were gonna pop.... And the pain and pressure grew stronger this started about a half hour before the quake hit for me.. as I had numerous other sensations I was wondering if I needed to go to the doctor for possible seizures... and was extremely irritable and was taking it out on my best friend in im .. which I kept getting disconnected from then could not log back into at 3:58.. I heard what sounded like a fighter jet in the distance.. But the sound was different than the normal flight path... So I got up stood at the doorway of the office looked outside.. the window and  hear the sound grew louder and louder till it sounded like a thunderclap as it echoed acrossed the land Southwest to North West.. bang bang bang really loud, and I saw flashes of light outside.. I never seen the light flashes with a quake like that before.. but... I knew when the shaking reached me imediately what it was and after the lights and loud sound passed i could hear the ground rumbling and shaking... as I wandered back to the computer chair in a haze the shakes even from far away was enough to make me go search for that fighter jet.. Sometimes I like to get up watch them fly over and salute them.. ..

For the last few days on and off  I had been hearing rumblings in the ground, been dizzy tired, irritable ... strange feelings on my skin pin prick, itchy feelings.. Not sure why I sense this.. But just before the physical sound of it my ears ring really bad..... I thought it was a thunderstorm coming at first .. one  of the other reasons I wandered to look out the window was to make sure those flashes were not lightning... I stood there for awhile.. on and off looking outside at it.

Such a minor thing in my neighborhood but very exciting to me... I posted about it also on my psychic blog but the post is not complete.. but I still feel hazy minded so I will edit the post when I feel a little clearer in thought.. "

I have been working on this blog

2/2/2010 1:29:00 PM

As you can see I have been workin on this blog to make a few changes..

to make it look better.. and load better .. well.. It is gonna take some time to relocate the older posts to the next page for the archives.. I believe that is what it really slowing down the loading time for this blog..

For some the blogs little summary may appear on the right hand side for others it may appear on the very bottom of the page, It has the blog archives, then it has the archives page I made.. All 2009 posts will be put into the next page archives.. and after I get the old blog archives relocated to the topica list, eventually this archives will be there too and all will be reposted as links in the archive section.. for people to check out if they want to.. but most news links tend to expire between 30 to 90 days.. so they eventually go dead...

I been working on this news blog all morning.. So thank you for your patience all.

Casey Jones Railroad News

Casey Jones News (from the last few weeks)

"And people think I am the only one who likes to listen to this song anymore call my tastes old fashioned then. My parents had wind up phonograph styled things.. I always loved those things, and while most in the 80's brought their favorite songs on tapes, I was demanding a record in 1989, I wanted Bangles Eternal flame on a record, my evil sister cracked the record.. then I had to settle for a casette..... Now I still like Casettes, and cds.. I believe if you really love the artist best to buy things that way instead of as an mp3.. but then again.. I am old fashioned. :) . " - DNatureofDTrain

But the number one ditty was "Casey Jones".

"It is painful yes, but these kind of memorials need to serve their healing purposes... But, be done in such a way it does NOT draw distraction to drivers on the road, or railroad workers from the train to the area. A Railroad worker who has witnessed his or her train run over a person is gonna struggle to not stare at the place where he ran them over.. and one sign of healing is when they no longer are drawn to look at the place, where it happened. I recommend the railroad companies to temporarily change routes, or to allow good mental health leave.. for railroad employees in such a trauma. But, if you a trackside at a memorial, to someone who has passed on. Look up at the passing train, and wave to them, and smile. If it is the train crew who accidently hit your friend. It may help them with the healing process as well. :) ."- DNatureofDTrain

Last weeks general news

1/27/2010 2 Weeks Ago General News...

"I think I hear thunder if so this is gonna have to weight.. as you all know I have a history of being prone to lightning strike, Hopefully today and tonight I can finish updating this and getting the railroad news posting up to date.. I also apologise if I have some repeats in both this and the previous post.. As I really seriously lost track of posting the general news.. Mostly do to health issues causing me to be sleepy and tired all the time, but I am still working hard on my work sites as well. Thank You all for your patience, Take care :) . " - DNatureofDTrain

"I feel Sheepish, It was icequakes.. Either way, I did not have alot of time, and I wanted to get some work in on mahalo before I left, my mother was suppose to wake me for supper she did not.. although they did save supper for me.. I was not able to get all my other e-work done either... So that again pushed me back, sighs. I am creating a line of new blogs that I will post on weekly, as well. The more blogs, the more I can earn through ads, and also force myself to write those books I been wanting to write, but have been putting off for so long. " - DNatureofDTrain

"If I were google, I'd stay in China but make them pay me for each thing they want blocked.. and make it expensive, then google could turn around and donate that to the National or public debt! and go hahaha.. but I am not google :P ..  I am DNatureofDTrain woohoo!" - DNatureofDTrain

"One thing I recommend everyone to do is to start a seperate banking or checking account just for what you want to give or donate.. Like if you want to give 10$ a month. Put the amount of money needed to keep getting 10$ a month out of interest for your donations account. Then you can keep donating monthly. This is not a bad idea to set up a Bills paying account in the same way, verses a recreational account for splurging fun.. and that not just for Haiti but for any other charities you want to give to there are tons of them out there. The more we help lower guys get into the upper guys the better the economy will be for everyone.. But always do your research on who to donate to first.. I can not stress that enough." - DNatureofDTrain

Dear Readers and railroad news

1/20/2010 12:14:00 AM

Dear Readers, and railroad news

Be sure to scroll back through the old posts, as I had added in plenty of news from the days I had missed posting.

We had technical difficulties with the copy and pasting... (the computer acting up)

I have not been feeling well on and off, also have been super busy with my other e-work as I am trying to push my daily earnings from 11 cents a day into 1-2$ a day...  So far its averaging 20-30 cents...  but I have hit one 1$ day.. and a couple of 80-90 cents a days..  I will also start to share in my news articles.. My Best responces earned on and off.. fromy mylot and mahalo...  So you can see some of what else I am doing.. When I am not updating my blog.

I also notice that this blog is having issues with page loading at times.. takes a few refreshes to get it to load all the way.. I find that just as irriating as you all do, as it is holding me back from adding as many posts as I could be adding. Good news is I only have 11 days of posting this year to catch up on, and then the blog is all caught up. I have a few non railroad articles I will post in one stint..

Eventually as things work out better. The Railroad News, and General news will be posted together.. if I still have problems with the blog.. I will just have to use my website News forum with it... and add a link there.. I will Eventually have an archives page up with links to the older news articles, and everything will be transfered off of blogger...

I will be starting a few new blogs... For my writings and stories... and even ministering..

So Stay tuned for that... This will be a new adventure and a way to expand my actual works... and Open to my readers a world they probably never thought to much about but had often had wondered about...

I am however done posting for tonight... :) Thanks to my readers for being patient for my sharing updates :) . And, I will hopefully resume to commenting more.. But I do not have alot to say on this weeks news other than RIP to all those souls who ended up in derailments and collisions, and my prayers and thoughts are with everyone else who is effect by this...

And of course.. The Quake in Haiti is on my mind often.. but I am not posting many articles on this.. because the Mainstream media on TV Stations is covering it well... as most railroad news is often never makes the TV..

"What Venezuela needs to do .. Is to get Solar polar put on the roofs of the places that are safe to balance out for when they have a drought.. It also would not hurt for them to actually send Vehicles out to collect water from areas that are overflooded put that water through proper water treatment and to empty into the Dam.. I never did understand why such a system is not put in to balance things out.... They should look into fuel cell techology, and sterling engines can be modified to make electricity in many ways as well. Countries should varie their energy and financial sources.. so these kind of collaspes become non existent.... At least this shows how hyrdopower can also be a limited source, They should team up with distillation and salt plants.. Ad clean water back into the dam" - DNatureofDTrain

"With inflation and bad economy and everything else.. There are so many ways they can do sponsors and  ads to keep prices down.. but I am learning through my own things how hard it is to really get sponsors as people have forgotten over time those ad decorations are suppose to encourage you to buy or drop a simple thank you to those companies for sponsoring your activity, or item for free or a more affordable rate.. If Ad sponsors know they are being looked at via clicks, or sales being made.. They will most likely keep advertising and sponsoring as they want to show their ads where the consumers will see them.. It takes an average of seeing the same ad 33 times before a person will even consider buying or clicking on the ad unless it is straight down the individual's interest list. In some cases they have Target advertising but I do not always 100% agree with many targeted methods coming up like me. .. Just because I am a woman you can advertise perfume, Earings and pearls to me all you want.. But, I ain't buying.. I don't wear those things. I already have my mind 100% made up on what I do enjoy wearing.. " - DNatureofDTrain

I would not want anyone to stop me. I have dreams of building my own country.. a small one.. but larger than Vatican City lol.. But, that is not gonna happen .. because no one seems to agree with the same values as I do.. in the long run..  I had a project I started call the Ludetribe .. Using four letters from my last name and  putting them into an acronym meaning Living Under Diving Energy.. I put the project on hold.. and figure if I restart it since it is based on Heinzism.. it would be the Heinzist Tribe or Nation... But.. I need to pull the supporters together and have a serious talks on how to resume this project.. and in the end we may stick with the Ludetribe name.. But.. I dunno it was a fun thing I had alot of faith in and I still get email requests from people who actually want to move in and live with us Ludetribals.. as I saddened inform them that we never made it beyond the planning stage.. So.. Some dream of the world's Tallest Buildings.. I dream of a Small Spiritual based free state like nation..  But even so.. We never did plan on making it past the micronation status....

December 20th 2009 - Important Update Note from DNatureofDTrain

12/20/2009 11:18:00 PM

Five days till Christmas? waaaaaaaan .. okay done crying now :D ...

Speaking of Crying and fussing.. Blogger finally got around to verifying that my News Article and Sharing blog is not a spam blog and not breaking their TOS.. However... I will bring this blog out of beta soon.. as soon as I can get back to normal posting, and well.. Reorganize my codes and news feeds to go along with this.. I have already started to repost the older News articles archives here.. I will later on add a link to this called Older Archives.. ...

 http://lists.topica.com/lists/mynewsarchive/read

I hope our regular readers eventually find their way over to this new blog soon...

If I can not get the coding straighten out... I will put the code itself on a seperate webpage and link to it..

Now there has been numerous hold ups.. Technical Difficulties with computers, our power line behind the house they spliced burned out again... then I had an eye infection, and some form or flu been sicker than heck... tired exhausted and this is the season for me to feel run down and tired anyhow do to my season depression.. I also been busy helping my parents out on and off watching their foster children... as my mother finishes up Christmas shopping...

So, althought my blog has been neglected.. I want all my regular readers to know.. I am sorry for neglecting to post your news content ::gives puppy look:: But I still love ya.. and I hope your holiday season is going better than mine is! .. and hope to get the archives and posts caught up before New Years Day if I can..

I want people to also know. That my hard feelings for blogger.com has melted away it is just a simple technical glitch between their spam bot, and my multi link posting.

So, I no longer encourage the plans to boycott blogger.. But I need to put to use my other resources I have.. like my forum, and this blog.

Well the visions and dreams I have not had much of for a long time in clarity.. now that my health is improving the dreams and visions are returning and they are a nuisance.. because I am not used to them or the other energies I sense its like smacks in the forehead causing headaches.. and I been feeling pains, and just ultimately irritable and not very fun to be around social wise lately either... part of it is do to all the stills, and the sensations I pick up pain wise, electrical feelings, then the small black outs and images that are similar to a memory flashback.. except they are not my memories they are images of things about to happen, that are happening at the moment, or have happened in the past. My attention has been pulled to Eurorail alot lately.. and then of course the many areas hit by heavy snowstorms... Good news is I manage and handle this abilities better than I used to.. but.. bad news is.. They are still very intense and take their toll on my physical and mental emotional energy...

My neice felt bad tried to adopted him back they told her she could apply etc she did but when she returned found out they put down my 5 month old Moochy for biting.. he was a love biter.. and a large kitten.. I am 5 foot 2 when I stand he could reach from the floor to my shoulders with his paws.. so they thought he was an adult cat.. .. jerks this cat was such a gentle giant he had pet chipmunks!... Not to mention the PETA people they had infiltrate their org all over the US they are the one corrupting the humane society.. my attitude will change if I find out they banned ALL peta members and affilates.. and also start a policy to RETURN PeTS TO THEIR OWNERS! .. and allow their owners to pay back fees in a small payments over time! .. " - DNatureofDTrain

"I am not feeling well.. So the railroad news and news postings the next couple of days will be delayed.. But unlike my two long general news posts below.. this is about the average length my normal General News posts will be along with the Railroad news posts.. and hopefully some Activist news posts.. I used to throw up all the Activist news on here.. but I just do not have the time to do that lately.. So I encourage all the real devout activists if they have not done so already to join http://www.care2.com .. That is the best Activist network on the web.. that I have found to date... and please spread the word about my blogs new long link since Blogger is still being a royal Pain in the A.. Butt.. and not approving my old newsdndt.blogspot.com blog yet. I will relocate my other blogs hopefully by the end of this week and remove all but one post redirecting people to my forum, and here.

So, I sometimes take cough drops.. well.. they started to put this artificial sweetner called aspartame in all the cough drops now.. I had a seizure a few nights ago due to this stuff. So you won't find me touching anything with aspartame in it ever again.. I noticed my issues with it years ago.. in fact if I was aware of cough drops having that in it in the first place I would not touch it.. Halls Coughdrops and Ricola both have it.. I am gonna have to go into town with Dad and read all the packages to find one that does not have it I found an old halls package three years old that does not have it.. so I swiped that one into my hidden stash of goodeys to last me for now..

I was having troubles with the catagories I decided instead of having the catagories represent Railroad News, Activist News, Casey Jones new.. what they will be instead of just where I move the news to for archives.. then this blog will have similar format to my original one and if it gets to full relocate the archives to the topica group.. which I'll add to the links and title it archives eventually. I am still waiting for google to reactivate my other blog so I can relocate my posts to here, and then delete everything little by little off of blogger and remove the blog itself so google and blogger no longer have to keep reviewing it and verifying that it is not a spam blog.. which forces me further behind on keeping up to date with the news postings. - DNatureofDTrain
