What I learned from my Father.

On Father’s Day I always spend time thinking of my Father, Maurice Wilsey.

I learned a lot about how to be a Father from him. Not by him telling me how to be a good Father, but by pure example.

• The importance of patience
• Knowing that the way I live will be their greatest lesson
• My children know I will always Love them by my words and actions, no matter what
• Understanding that my kids do not need to think like me

--Happy Father Day, Pa. Miss you.

Arkansas Woman Killed in Mistaken Rapture

by Elroy Willis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARKANSAS CITY (EAP) -- A Little Rock woman was killed yesterday after leaping through her moving car's sun roof during an incident best described as a "mistaken rapture" by dozens of eye-witnesses.

Thirteen other people were injured after a twenty-car pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw twelve people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.

"She started screaming "He's back!, He's back!" and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene.

"I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped," Willams said. She thought the rapture was happening and was convinced that Jesus was gonna lift her up into the sky," he went on to say.

"This is the strangest thing I've seen since I've been on the force," said Paul Madison, first officer on the scene.

Madison questioned the man who looked like Jesus and discovered that he was on his way to a toga costume party, when the tarp covering the bed of his pickup truck came loose and released twelve blow-up sex dolls filled with helium which then floated up into the sky.

Ernie Jenkins, 32, of Fort Smith, who's been told by several of his friends that he looks like Jesus, pulled over and lifted his arms into the air in frustration, and said "Come back," just as the Williams' car passed him, and Mrs. Williams was sure that it was Jesus lifting people up into the sky as they passed by him, according to her husband, who says his wife loved Jesus more than anything else.

When asked for comments about the twelve sex dolls, Jenkins replied "This is all just too weird for me. I never expected anything like this to happen."

Here is a section from their FAQ!

How do I create a collection on Lala?

There are two simple ways to add music into your Lala collection:

1. Find new music on Lala and then add it to your web collection for unlimited listening. Adding a web song to your collection is only 10 cents. And your first 50 web songs are free!


2. Take the music you already have and make it playable anywhere on the web. Music Mover instantly adds the music you own to your Lala collection for free.

What is a web song?

A web song is a song that lives on the internet. Each web song is only 10 cents, and your first 50 web songs are free!
When you buy a web song it is added to your Lala collection. You can then listen to it as many times as you like, from any web browser. You can also add it to playlists. If you later decide to also buy the MP3, the 10 cents you paid for the web song is credited towards the MP3.

How much do MP3s cost?

The majority of the MP3s on Lala are available for only 89 cents. If you've already purchased the web song, that 10 cents is applied toward the final MP3 purchase (so the MP3 is an additional 79 cents).

Will MP3 files that I download work with any music player?

All of the MP3s on Lala are DRM-free music downloads, and are compatible with iTunes and Windows Media Player.

What is the bitrate of Lala's MP3 downloads?

The vast majority of our MP3 files are encoded using variable bit rates (VBR), aiming at an average of 256 kilobits per second (kbps). Lala will notify you of the bitrate for the specific track you are purchasing before you confirm an MP3 purchase.

How do I add the music I already own to my collection?

To listen to the music you already own from your Lala collection, install the Music Mover

Music Mover will then find all of the songs on your computer. If a song on your computer matches Lala’s licensed catalog, it will instantly be added to your online collection. The remaining songs that were not matched will then begin uploading to your collection behind the scenes. software.
