WILLIAM OWNBY William was last seen getting off his school bus at 3:30 p.m. A white Nissan pick-up truck with Missouri plates was seen in the area at the time. The truck, a 1992-2000 model with Nissan written on the upper right side of the rear tail gate, had rust and damage on the right rear passenger side, a camper shell, no hubcaps and a trailer hitch with no ball.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm; life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, which only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their misbehaved children. It declined even further, when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or a Band-Aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims did.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.
He is survived by his three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm a Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
OUTSIDE forces are again trying to Suck us Under...

The next is best said in the words of Jessi, My daughter as she feels it....
My heart is aching as tears run down my face
Memories to last a life time replay inside my brain
Her smile,her laugh, the way she looked and smelt.
A woman so loving and full of life ripped away from me
She was not perfect and never claimed to be
But to me she was my everything
I will always be her baby girl
Booper i will always be
Her sence of humor never ceased to amaze even me
Her words of wisdom never failed to make any situation right
She made me a promise one impossible to keep
And yet i believed that she would never leave me
I hate it that i let her down that she will never get to see
The woman that thanks to her i will grow to be
It seems like only yesterday she held me in her arms
The songs we sang ring inside my mind
She had so much faith in me
She always said i was destined for something great
Now that she is gone i feel a heavy weight
I want so much to make her proud
I need to be ok
It just seems with her gone she took a part of me
Why do people have to die
Why do they always leave
Yamma
I can't help but to think about
The things you'll never see
My wedding day seems so far
But hardly worth the wait
If you aren't there it wont be the same
And my heart breaks more when i think my kids will never see
What a great grandmother you could be
You are my heart and my soul
And that will always be
You said you'd always be here that you would never leave
I sit alone in this house and i remember the simple things
I could cry an ocean just for you
But that can not be
I know how much you love me and i know you wanted to stay
But yamma don't hold on for me
Let go of all your pain
I do not blaim you for this fate
I know how much you care
But it is time for you to say good-bye
I only wish i were there
So from this room i will say a prayer
For god to take you back home to stay
I know that i will see you again someday
And as you watch from heaven
I know that you'll be proud
I will do great things in life
For i refuse to let you down.
Written by Jessica Braun
In loving memory of Justine Newman
I LOVE YOU YAMMA PEACE BE WITH YOU!!!!!
May you be resting with the Angels,
Your Momma and Daddy, and your Grandma who you have mised so much
These police Killed this girl, who was 120 lbs....
Sadly, Jessi went to school with this girl in grade school, and My Old neighbor told me she was one who had called the police, a gangs had taken over the park Many years ago...
She said the girl was walking in circles aimlessly, and was NOT threatening anyone, didn't Lunge, but appeared very confused, and then terrified once the police started yelling at her waking up the neighborhood, that ended up with at least
15 rounds being shot....
Interestingly enough.. this article contradicts itself many times... and the Orange County Register had No part of the story in the news... The TWO MEN, trained officers could not take down a 120 lbs girl, and IT EVEN mentions AS Taught in Training, to SHOOT in the CHEST???
Hello... shoot them in the Leg I have heard of.. SHOOT One child in a TORSO/Chest...
We have had so many Officer Involed shootings in this So Calif... and this is Yet another one that Takes the Cake , and a Life...
If things Like this happen where you are living also...
SPEAK UP... say No to outlaw COPS who, in this case used at least a combined total of 15 shots to Take down One child, as
they woke up the nieghborhood to the horror of Onlookers...
Their claim of having less lethal forms to take her down, No batton to smash her skull in?? no stun gun to use over and over?? 120 lb teen vs, over three hundred punds of Trained Police force, our tax dollars and Police training in Fine use again...
and of course they are n paid leave until the investigationis complete... AS IF anyofus would get paid for making a FATAL
error at work until the bosses could figure out how to slap out wrists...
These men, and Every Officer like them shoud face the Very Murder Trial any other killer would get...
BTW, the Rape has since been Verifed by autopsy and Pre trauma on her prior to being shot to death.. Can't count how many times they have had stand off's with Male Criminals who are taking in by the Squad, Crisis teams are brought out to talk to them, make effort to contact family, EVEN in police chases, and here this Lil girl was SHOT DOWN...
Don't let this happen where you live, Police are PAID to Protect and Serve not Kill and InvestigaTe later... The headline says it all, she was carryone... Not attacking someone while walking...it ws the Officers who claimed the LUNGED at THEM... but the many eyewitneses held a Vigal on the 29th and 30th to Inform the neighborhood of Yet another needless death... She was Not on drugs, and there was no one in the park she was threatening... SICK SICK SICK..
Police Kill Woman Carrying Knife
The Huntington Beach 19-year-old may have been raped the night before, investigators say.
By Garrett Therolf, Times Staff Writer August 26, 2006
Two Huntington Beach police officers fatally shot a 19-year-old woman Friday morning after she lunged at them with a knife, authorities said.
The officers were responding to a 911 call about 7:30 a.m. reporting that Ashley MacDonald was walking through her neighborhood near Sun View Park with a knife in her hand.
Investigators said they later learned she had just argued with her mother inside their apartment. The mother's arms were superficially cut a number of times during the fight, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department, the investigating agency for officer-related shootings in Huntington Beach.
Amormino said his agency was investigating reports that MacDonald's fight with her mother was over an alleged rape of the young woman the previous night.
"She's a very nice girl," said Chris Guthrie, 23, a friend of MacDonald's. "A very traumatic thing happened to her last night."
Amormino said the officers repeatedly warned MacDonald, "Drop the knife," before firing. There were witnesses to the incident. Amormino said he didn't know the size of the knife.
The two officers, whose identities were not disclosed, were criticized by some in the neighborhood, near the Bella Terra shopping center, for using deadly force against the teen, but Amormino said they were not carrying less-lethal means of subduing the woman. He said the officers followed department training by firing into her upper torso.
MacDonald was rushed to Huntington Beach Hospital, where she died. When officers notified her mother, she became so distraught that she was also taken to the hospital for treatment, authorities said.
When the department's report is completed, it will be forwarded to the district attorney's office for review.
One of the officers had worked for the Huntington Beach police for 1 ½ years, and the other had three years' law enforcement experience.
"This is a tragic case — tragic for the officers too," Amormino said. "They found their lives threatened."
Times staff writer Mai Tran contributed to this report.
A cowboy was herding his cows in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy,
"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, Why not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored.
He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says,
"You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says the cowboy.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then the cowboy says to the young man,
"Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says,
"Okay, why not?"
You're a Congressman for the U.S. Government", says the cowboy.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy.
"You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about cows...
Well I can't tell you how much I have missed you all...
Of course these changes AGAIN haven't helped, but I had to take some family time... still do, I just didn't want anyone to think I vanished.
Since all of the kids have been out of school, and HERE, life has been very busy. The kids are well.. ALL of them, it seems as though I have aquired a couple more over the summer, and we know me, I just can't say No to a kid.
As for ME? well, Lots of 360's this summer, as always Just being Me... It's been a Unique ending to the summer as the kids go back next week, but I think maybe The Angels have figured out a path for me I would never have Dreampt Possible... won't know anything for sure until maybe NEXT summer, but I do have a Smile In my heart, and on my face...

Wanna Be's, GANSTA'S of all Colors...
PARENTS of all Colors....
WAKE UP.... Grab Hold of Your Kids, before their Future is already gone....
YOU can read or write, Places can HELP...
You don't know how to Parent, Places can Help...
Here is what he has to say....
Looks like New Orleans is waking people
up. Bill Cosby is shaking their bed again.
Bill Cosby says::
"They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what? And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics. I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? Or who is his father?
People putting their clothes on backward: Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something? Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up? Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from? We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.
