Has anyone ever heard about the Texarkana Phantom Killer?
He was named the "Phantom" by locals because he wore a white hood over his head. He terrorized the town between February and May of 1946. They made a movie back in ‘76 called The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Have any of you heard about this before?
My Aunt and real Grandfather saw two of the first victims of the killer. They said it was jsut awful. I am from Texarkana and know quite a few people who lived back then, and they have told me many things about this. If you have not seen the movie, you need to. It really is good.

Have you had Sudden Unintended Acceleration with a Hyundai? Similar to the current Toyota problems.?
Last year our Hyundai Santa Fe took off like a Formula One car from a near standstill whilst being parked, crashing through a closed garage door and into the rear wall, doing extensive damage to vehicle and property, and causing some personal injury. Luckily no-one was killed, but if someone had been opening the garage door …… they would have been history. Despite an independent engineer’s opinion that it was a Hyundai manufacturing and/or service failure they just don’t want to know, and worse still they denied that they had ever heard of a similar situation occurring before. Now that the whole Toyota debacle is out in the open the subject of Sudden Unintended Acceleration is getting proper attention - seems it has been the subject of an automotive industry cover up for decades. Unethical doesn’t even come close to covering their behaviour and they should be found guilty of manslaughter where fatalities occur, and liable to punitive damages also. There can be a whole range of causes and there is a lot of information published, but it is NOT driver error in the vast majority of cases. The only thing that is certain is that if it occurs there is nothing the driver can do about it. The manufacturers, not just Toyota, must be held accountable for safety. We know of a number of Hyundai incidents but would like to hear more.

all cars can do this,but cause toyota is a big company they have to make a big deal about it,my brother is in the middel of a lawsuit with ford cause his ford flex did the same thing,to me toyotas are still the best cars out there,sorry buy hyundais are known to have issues as well,safty issues just like all other cars,honda just recalled Fits for catching on fire,personally id rather a corolla that creeps forward than a car that lights up all of a sudden,call the goverment and see if they make a big deal about it like they did toyota

Most often the nut behind the steering wheel is responsible for the acceleration you will find. Intended or otherwise.

Your comment that "if it occurs there is nothing the driver can do about it" is the most stupid and ignorant thing that I’ve ever read!!! Think about it…how do you stop a car? You can use the foot brake, emergency brake or best, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL! I amazed how many ignorant people can’t take some responsibility for saving themselves in an emergency. Putting the car in neutral won’t over rev the engine because it has an electronic rev limiter. Also, you won’t lose the power steering or brakes. All you have to do is to "bump" the transmission from drive to neutral. This takes 1/2 of a second! You are a lawyers dream client. Make sure he gets 90% of the settlement!

The way you’re writing indicates you’re a lawyer. How much you’re looking for? Got some change in my pocket cuz that all you’ll get. Hyundai doesn’t have this problem. They don’t use the same supplier as Toyota. Get a better story and try other manufacturer but Hyundai or KIA. LOL about your story. Was funny.

1st, They do not use CTS pedal.
2nd, They do not use outsourced parts as many as Toyota.

According to NHTSA safety complaints database.

sudden-acceleration incidents (2008 model-year data)

No.1 Toyota : 41%(Share of complaints)
No.2 Ford : 28%
No.3 Chrysler : 9%
No.4 General Motors : 5%
No.5 Honda : 4%
No.6 Nissan : 3%

Unintended Acceleration from Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Honda, Nissan are much more than Hyundai. Hyundai is almost zero. (i’m not sure, but certainly smaller than Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Honda, Nissan)

God do not accept Human sacrifices part 3?
Leviticus 27:28-29, "Note also that any one of his possessions which a man vows as doomed to the Lord, whether it is a human being or an animal, or a hereditary field, shall be neither sold nor ransomed; everything that is thus doomed becomes most sacred to the Lord. All human beings that are doomed lose the right to be redeemed; they must be put to death." This passage is extremely difficult to understand and careful consideration in translation and understanding must be put in play here. If we read the previous chapter and other places in the Bible we find that if person Scarifies to the foreign gods that person becomes doomed, the key word doomed not sacrifice, This person accordingly to The law must be put to Death, the key word put to death not sacrifies! Therefore this person can not be redeemed, this person have being given a death sentence and it have nothing to do with the sacrifices God asked for. More about sacrifices as we move on.

At the LORD’s command, a man of God from Judah went to Bethel, and he arrived there just as Jeroboam was approaching the altar to offer a sacrifice. Then at the LORD’s command, he shouted, "O altar, altar! This is what the LORD says: A child named Josiah will be born into the dynasty of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests from the pagan shrines who come here to burn incense, and human bones will be burned on you." (1 Kings 13:1-2 NLT) This is just a case of mistranslation due to the lack of knowledge, explain: The word sacrifice here have being mistranslated, if you look in a concordance you must understand that the definition here means slaughter do to divine judgment. The pagan priest would burn incense to Baal the sun, moon stars and host of heavens false gods) this would taking place all over Judea and Jerusalem. This is a prophesy something that will happened in the future. How can anyone desperate to

Is this a good or bad idea after what happened?
Hello, I was wondering if giving an old friend another chance to be part of me and my families life right now would be a good idea or should I wait and see if anything has changed? This past Summer I let a friend move in with me and my husband and our daughter cause she was living on the streets and needed help. We were willing to help her of course cause we knew her very well and I trusted her at the time. but one of the things we requested was that no body knows where we live and no body we don’t know comes over cause we didn’t want strangers coming over while we weren’t home and considering my husband worked nights I didn’t want strange people over while he wasn’t home or while he was trying to sleep either. I also didn’t wanna chance anything happening to or around my daughter either. One thing we asked was her father didn’t know where we were cause me and him do NOT get along at all and he is all about drama. So we helped her get her daughter back from her ex and than 2 weeks after that he decided to tell her dad where we were living and have strange people come to our home and pick her up with out us knowing. She owes us money and i already know we wont see any of it too. Plus she turned around after she left and told every body that it was all my fault she broke up with the guy she was with when she moved in when all i told her was it wasn’t my decision on wheather or not she should break it off with him and she decided to leave him and than she blamed me for it all. Than she fell and cracked her head open after she moved out and messed up some ribs than tried telling people my husband hurt her ribs when she wasnt even around when that happened. I mean we were living in Minneapolis, MN and she was living in Brainerd, MN which is 4 hours away and we had no contact what so ever when she left than the other day she tried adding me on facebook and myspace and I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to have contact with her after what she did to us?

Sorry so long and confusing and thank you for taking the time to read this!!!
We also were like sister’s at that time too and now idk what to think of it anymore cause we are so close that we were pretty much family!!
Sorry i didn’t use paragraphs i was to into typing that i wasn’t thinking about that sorry.

Ultimatley it’s up to you. whether you think the good parts of your relationship outweigh the stuff that she has done. If it was me I wouldn’t give this woman a moment of my time. She used you for everything she could get out of you and when it dried up she went away. Her getting in contact says to me that she wants something again. Friendships are about give and take, you shouldn’t be doing all the giving while she is doing all the taking. Her lies about your husband hurting her are very serious too. She could have gotten him in a lot of trouble. I would stay as far away from this woman as you possibly can.

You defo do not need people like that in ur life, u cannot tust people who are willing to do that to you after you tried so hard to help her,leave it as it is,how can you be sure she wont just want to use you again,people like you deserve better friends. Good luck with it tho
JK | Feb 09, 2010

Please use Paragraphs…. as it’s much easier on people eyes..

It is up to you… if she caused you drama, grief, then don’t contact her… leave her a note & explain, that you would prefer to have no contact as the things that happened with her in your home & with your family…

It’s your choice, remember she ACCUSED YOUR HUSBAND OF HURTING HER RIBS, she could put RISK to your marriage in the future…
~FROG~ | Feb 09, 2010

Shandi,

Sorry. People do not change their stripes in a short amount of time. She is a selfish and greedy person and I’m surprised you want anything to do with her. For her it’s all about her. For you it is all about others because you are a giving and unselfish person.

This can do nothing to help your relationship with your husband and daughter. You must put them first. Tell her, after she goes for professional help to get her life’s priorities in order, until that happens she must not come around but is welcome to call.

Just remember if it is hurting your family relationships by too much stress then her friendship is just not worth it. You owe your husband and daughter that much.
driver001 | Feb 09, 2010

No way. You took her in when she was down. She repaid your kindness by spreading lies about you and your husband, and by having strange people in your home when you expressly told her no visitors. She’s violated your trust and put your family at risk. I would cut all contact with her, and the only time you should resume contact is if she’s shown that she has turned her life around. It doesn’t sound like that’s going to happen anytime soon.

---

911 is only to be dialed in case of emergencies! If that was the case any officers available would have been dispatched. If you just wanted to speak to a certain "cop" and there was no emergency then no you can’t defend yourself because you broke the law by dialing 911 for a non emergency.

help!! if you have experience with dealing with american airlines!!!?
I purchased a flight using priceline negotiator, I got an awesome deal but my flight times really suck!! When you use the negotiator feature it does not let you choose your times it picks everything for you. My departing flight is schedule to depart at 7:00 pm. My question…. Is there anyway to arrive early to the airport and see if I could possibly catch an earlier flight? What are the chances of american airlines working with me??

---

They might. Just call them and ask. Be nice, with about ten percent whine, and maybe they’ll work with you.
Kyle | Feb 04, 2010

---

It’s possible, but there is no guarantee.

Those tickets are very restrictive in nature. That’s why they don’t cost as much as normal tickets. Understand, American Airlines, has no obligation to help you. You purchased a ticket for a specific flight.
AJ | Feb 04, 2010

---

Keep your current flight time, and go to the airport around 11:00 am and see if you can catch an earlier flight.
Keagan | Feb 04, 2010

---

If there are seats available on an earlier flight, then you might be able to switch. However, you can expect to pay a fee to change your flight and possibly even the difference in fares, if there is one. They will sometimes work with you and not charge a full change fee, but there is usually some fee involved. I once had that exact situation, although on a different airline, and had to pay $25 to leave on an earlier flight. It was worth it!
Melissa | Feb 04, 2010

---

it couldn’t hurt to try just note that you would be noted as a standby and only if there are seats
available will you get inboard that earlier flight also and if you make on the earlier flight make sure the gate also protects on
your return flight as
its very possible for the computer to no-shown you on the flight you were
scheduled on and then cancel the rest of your itinerary
travelmaster | Feb 04, 2010

---

It’s always possible to try, but if there are less seats available than for the number of passengers standing by, your type of ticket most probably would be at the bottom of the list because you must have bought it dirt cheap.

The day before your flight and early that morning, call AA and tell them you want to stand by and ask them, politely, what your chances are. They will be able to tell if the flights are overbooked or a lot of seats are left, and advise you on the chances.

List the vampire book series you've read?
Hi, I really need some help!
I love vampire books, and particularly series, so I read a lot, and all I can find! And I tend to search everywhere for new releases!
So everyone around me is aware of that!
I’m supposed to go on vacation next Thursday, for 2 months, and as I was afraid to get bored, a friend of mine and my boss proposed me to make a website where I could list all the books I read, make reviews for each one of them, and tell viewers when and if new books in a series will be coming.
I really liked that idea and I’m very excited to start!
I already planned to contact every author and editor, because I don’t want my website to be illegal, but my problem is that I fear I don’t have enough "material"!
So I want you to have a look at my list, and make yours too if you can!

We are not very wealthy but we give our daughter everything she NEEDS.
My daughters name is Rosita , yes it means pink. lol

Lately me and her daddy and her have been spending time as a family but right now me and her dad are nothing with eachother.

We took Rosita to the beach a couple of days ago, it was nice.. I just wish me and her father were together so Rosita could see him more.
I do have feelings for him, and he told me he still loved me but i dont understand what that meant.. if he loves me why doesn’t he just ask me to be his girlfriend..?

Please helpp!!

Tell him exactly what you told us. Explain your feelings to him and ask him why he doesn’t want to be together. It’ll be kind of awkward, but it must be done. If he still loves you and cares for you and your daughter, he will stay with you, just because. I hope you get everything fixed.

P.S. Your daughter’s adorable =)

Congress moves to crank up the pressure on Iran
14.10.09

Now that the House has passed Barney Frank ’s Iran divestment bill, the attention turns to the Senate, where Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback is working to advance his companion measure.

Both pieces of legislation have basically the same idea, to allow both public and private entities to more easily rid themselves of investments in the Iranian economy. The measure is being sold as a way to tweak Iran without actually imposing new sanctions.

After the House passed its version by a 414-6 vote, Brownback said he would try to add his bill as an amendment to the Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations bill, which is on the Senate floor this week.

"I think we’ve got a pretty good shot at getting it moved. I haven’t heard of any opposition to it," Brownback told The Cable .

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd , D-CT, has another Iran sanctions bill that would crack down on refined petroleum exports to Iran and seek to freeze Iranian financial assets.

"You’re going to see the banking committee come up with a bundle of steps and there’s going to be broad bipartisan support for that as well," Brownback said.

The administration wants Dodd to wait until its ongoing engagement push with Iran plays out. But Dodd is set on moving forward in his committee this month.
