In loving memory of SGT H Burks 1930-2007
History;
On December 15, 1864, Second Lieutenant Henry Burks, CSA, was captured in the Battle of Nashville. Soon thereafter he found himself in the Federal officers' prison at Johnson's Island, Ohio. He would remain there for 122 days before he was pardoned on May 16, 1865--a short stay relative to those of many of his fellow officers. He was only 19 years of age and for battlefield bravery had only recently been promoted to a Brevet Second Lieutenant.
The road to Johnson's Island began two-and-a-half years earlier when Charles Burks and his older brother James Armstrong Burks, my great grandfather, enlisted in Company E of the 34th Alabama Infantry. The formal organization of the 34th took place in Loachapoka, Alabama on April 15, 1862. The brothers' enlistment actually occurred on March 22 and was for three years or the duration of the War at a salary of $17 per month.
Initially, Company E was composed of 180 men--six officers and 13 non-commissioned officers, with the balance made up of privates. In subsequent organizational changes, the 34th Alabama was combined with the 24th and 28th Alabama and two South Carolina regiments into General Manigault's brigade. Manigault's Brigade fought throughout the war in many skirmishes and major battles, most notably Murfreesboro and the "Hundred Days Battle" in the spring and summer of 1864 from Dalton to Atlanta.
The 34th suffered its greatest losses at the battle of Nashville in mid-December 1864. Among its six officers, two were captured at Nashville, and of its 13 non-commissioned officers, one was killed and Charles Burks was captured and sent to Johnson's Island. My great grandfather James was wounded in the same battle and was subsequently sent to a way hospital in Meridian, Mississippi, to recuperate.
For the Burks brothers, the war was over. In some respects, their war ended far better than that of many others of the original 180. Eight were killed, but the toll from disease was far greater--47 men died of disease over the three years in which the 34th was in active combat. The usual cause was typhoid fever but more common diseases to us today, such as measles and chronic diarrhea, also took their toll.
For those of you who want to trace the specific circumstances surrounding your ancestors, I can offer some practical advice. Without question the first point is to counsel great patience. To begin to unravel complicated family relations dating back more than a century will be a time-consuming, but rewarding experience.
Second, the most obvious specific departure point is to discuss these issues with your parents and grandparents. Find out if they can recall the existence of a family Bible. This is one of the most important sources of family history. Even thought you may not know these individuals, view them as potentially valuable information sources. Pick up the telephone and call them. Finally, another valuable source of information is Bertram Hawthorne Groene's Tracing your Civil War Ancestors published by Ballantine in New York.
My Grandfather died today. I need to go to bed too..
Good Luck tomorrow ALL..
ie:
Saw SSSU go from .0055 to .059 in a couple of days last year. That company was and is as reputable as ETIM, their ticker has changed btw.
I did see a Cup and Handle formation break out to a whole new world on other stocks, the cup and handle formed and BANG..to da moon... What news lurkes in the shadows? It is Possible!!!
Dreamers Dream Big! It Can Happen!
I was hoping for 5x55 by then if it channels, but if it breaks loose by 1 or 2 Eastern it will channel back to the HOD which will come early after the first dip out of the gate......you know the usual morning ETIM dip and pop. The HOD will be 70. imo
what will I be able to buy at tomorrow at around 9:15 am? Funds on ST aren't available until 9 or 10 PST.
Still in HNL? Hope to get out there again soon. Been busy on the mainland as usual.
Keep on keepin on bro.
Serve Well.
Go Greenetim!
I figured it out, sorry. I thought you were. My mistake (out of context cause I did read back far enough) oooops
((([)))
either way, I'm buying some tomorrow , cause I can!!!!LOLOLOOLmao
Roughly 200M traded on 4/20 & 4/23 with a combined 25% dip and it only took 34M to get back to 55, that is very interesting imho...I picked this up on another board

Seeing success, and achieving it
Visualization methods help rookie pitcher Hirsh
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com

DENVER -- In childhood, all Rockies rookie right-hander Jason Hirsh wanted to do was learn to ride a bike. He had no idea his method of learning could be honed into a new-age procedure that has helped him get off to a strong Major League start.
No one taught him or younger brother, Matt, now a pitcher for the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League. They just watched until they saw themselves wheeling along before they tried.
"Matt didn't even use training wheels; I did for just a little," Hirsh said. "He could watch somebody riding a bike, do it once, mess up and realize what he did, and never mess up again. But that's the way we've always learned. I've always been a visual learner."
Now, part of Hirsh's preparation is the mental trick of visualizing proper mechanics and accurate pitches. It's not child's play, but part of his daily preparation as he follows a method that's honed by his offseason trainer, Alan Jaeger. He hopes it works on Saturday, when he faces the Braves and veteran right-hander John Smoltz at 6:05 p.m. MT.
The Jaeger Sports studio in Los Angeles is a destination spot for several professional pitchers, such as the Giants' Barry Zito and the Dodgers' Brett Tomko. They saw an immediate turnaround after studying with Jaeger, and so have players who play other positions. The program incorporates the use of tubing as well as stretching exercises for strength and flexibility, yoga and meditation training.
This past winter during his six-week camp, Jaeger urged his players to keep up with some of the mental exercises. He even burned compact discs for them to use as a daily training aid. Hirsh took it to heart.
Hirsh struggled during Spring Training, his first with the Rockies, who made him the key figure among the three players they obtained in an offseason trade with the Astros in exchange for pitcher Jason Jennings. Jaeger said he asked Hirsh after a rough spring start to "take his visualization to a different level" for five days -- from the day after one start to the morning of the next.
Jaeger purposely waited a while before checking with Hirsh, but the pupil stuck with it. It showed in Hirsh's changeup, a pitch Jaeger emphasizes in the winter and Rockies pitching coach Bob Apodaca stresses constantly.
In Hirsh's first start, he struck out a then-career-high eight batters in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-3 victory over the Padres and Greg Maddux -- the first of Hirsh's two victories already over the same team and pitcher. Hirsh has been in frequent contact with Jaeger ever since.
Hirsh is 2-1 with a 3.16 ERA, and the Rockies have won three of his four starts.
"He's such a good student, and he really loves to learn and has no ego," Jaeger said. "He's like a sponge."
ONLY THE BEST
Rockies rookie right-hander Jason Hirsh dreams of facing baseball's best-known pitchers are coming true quickly.
Hirsh already owns two victories over the Padres and future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux. In those games, Hirsh has compiled a 1.98 ERA, achieved 15 of his 23 strikeouts this season and held the Padres to a .200 batting average.
His next assignment will be Saturday night at Coors Field against the Braves and another future Hall of Famer, right-hander John Smoltz.
-- Thomas Harding
Here's roughly how it works:
Hirsh visualizes himself at first from the outside, first from behind the mound, then from a close-up view of his upper body "almost like the camera angle on TV, but I'm seeing it closer, but it would be closer." He is viewing the proper arm angle and release point. Then the vantage point becomes personal.
"I'm seeing the path I want it to follow," Hirsh said. "Say I'm throwing the slider. I'm seeing the arc of the slider. I'm seeing the arc of the curveball."
Jaeger said that under his method, the ball will produce a light that will follow the proper path, depending on the pitch. He can see and follow the pitch acting as it should.
"Then I can go out to the mound on game day, and I can focus on the catcher's glove," Hirsh said. "I say, 'I'm going to throw the curveball,' and I don't have to think of my mechanics or anything like that. I will throw that curveball to that point more often than not."
Hirsh has not given up more than three runs in any start. The visualization method doesn't guarantee all will be smooth, but it helped him overcome trouble in his last start, a 4-2 home victory over the Padres.
Hirsh yielded a Khalil Greene home run to open the seventh inning.
"I snapped into some kind of zone," Hirsh said. "I remember I saw the catcher's glove and that was it."
Hirsh struck out Russell Branyan, Geoff Blum and Rob Bowen in order to complete the strong outing.
Jaeger mentioned several times during a phone interview that the tool is a scientific way for an athlete to reach what's known as "the zone," and that it was not "hocus-pocus" -- an obvious nod to baseball's traditional fear of methods that step out of the physical realm.
The studious Hirsh, who holds a bachelor's degree in multimedia from Cal-Lutheran, is a walking example that one can try non-traditional methods but remain grounded. Apodaca doesn't see a guy who's head is in the clouds.
"Jason is very structured," Apodaca said. "I'm sure he was structured in school. He was structured in the Minor Leagues. His workouts are structured -- so much time devoted to this, his stretching exercises, with the tubing, his long-toss. It just seems to be a science with him. During his side work, he analyzes and digests everything."
In fact, in an effort to study the value of visualization and visual learning, Hirsh studied the work of David McDivitt, who teaches history and sociology at Oak Hill High School in Converse, Ind.
According to a 2006 story on the Web site of Government Technology, McDivitt had five classes totaling 110 students. Some in the classes studied World War II using traditional textbook and class discussion methods, the others used a historically accurate video game from a massive database developed by Boston University professor William Keylor.
"The people who played the video game actually scored [higher on multiple-choice tests and essays] than the people who read the book," Hirsh said. "You're immersing yourself in the action, seeing it happen. You remember it a lot more vividly than you can actually seeing words.
"I think that's the way the society is going. Everything's technology-based -- TV, movies and stuff like that, if you get stuff that's accurate and not Hollywood-ed up."
If Hirsh's performances end up in a movie, he won't have to see it. Not only will he have lived his feats, but he will have seen them before living them.
That jump today sure indicates that somebody read something they liked and made the price spike....at least it seems that way..lol

The financial audit is 75% complete and should be finalized by May 30 of this year.
Once the audit is complete the company will likely begin its stock buy-back.
Distribution agreements now include 14 companies covering 27 states. Two additional agreements are being considered at this time and the company continues to seek distribution partners in open states, particularly California.
Per the news release earlier this morning, EI will produce appliques and plaques for use on vaults in an exclusive agreement with the world's largest vault manufacturer, Wilbert Funeral Services, Inc.
EI is proactively seeking a strategic alliance in Europe.
The company will be attending the National Funeral Directors Association Expo in October in Las Vegas and plans to have a trade show booth on the main Expo floor.
Keep the ideas flowing ALL ! If we're sitting around "brainstorming" about EI potential markets for product placement then perhaps its worthwhile for the company to view us as proactive shareholders and this is a positive thing to have. It shows that we truely support the company we have invested in, I'm sure they appreciate the sentiment of the crowd.

Q: Did we ever talk about dividends with regard to ETIM ? ...lol
A: Dividends will be down the road for those who remain vested...LOL subsequently, there will be no dividends for those who bail. LOLOL

BOSTON -- Red Sox legend Johnny Pesky reacted with sadness when told of the news that legendary author David Halberstam died in a car accident in California on Monday.
Pesky, along with Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr and Dominic DiMaggio, was featured in a stirring 2003 book by Halberstam titled "Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship."
With enriching detail, Halberstam described the bond of four men who not only played together on the Red Sox, but grew up together, and remained friends their entire lives.
"He wrote the book about the four of us and it was very flattering," said Pesky, speaking from Fenway Park during Monday's Red Sox-Blue Jays game. "I know it was a best-seller for a number of years. I was very sad to hear this happened. Just a fine man. A great reporter, a great writer, he did everything that possibly a good human being could do. He was just an outstanding man. I feel really badly about this. I haven't talked to Dominic or Bobby yet, but I hope to tonight when I go home."
The book represented a must-read for baseball fans everywhere, particularly on the heels of Williams dying in July 2002.
The riveting read gave generations young and old an in-depth glimpse into Williams, and three of his closest friends.
Pesky didn't know Halberstam until the book project, but instantly was impressed.
"He talked exceptionally well. He had that great voice," said the 87-year-old Pesky. "I've heard him speak other places. He was spell-bounding. Just an outstanding man. I met him because of the book."
After the release of "The Teammates", Pesky, Doerr and DiMaggio did some appearances with Halberstam.
"He wrote the book, and how that came about was Halberstam was in Florida when Dominic was there," said Pesky. "Halberstam found out Dominic was in the area so he called him and Dominic invited him over to the house and that's how this book came about. He talked to Dominic and Dominic told him we were going to go to Florida [via car] to see Ted. He said, 'Boy, this will be a great book."
The drive that Pesky and DiMaggio took from New England to Florida to visit an ailing Williams is a memory captured forever by Halberstam. Though Halberstam wasn't in the car, he did enough in-depth reporting with Pesky and DiMaggio to make readers feel that he was.
"I really feel bad about this," said Pesky. "Here's a guy who wrote a great book about four old guys, they tell me it was a best-seller."
Halberstam wrote another best-selling book that involved the Red Sox called "Summer of '49." That one encapsulated an epic pennant race that year between the Red Sox and Yankees.
Baseball was just a small part of Halberstam's distinguished career. The Pulitzer-prize winner wrote about the Vietnam War, civil rights, the auto industry and many other topics.
