I found your facebook site via Rob Lutton's page. Phew - how complex our lives are!<BR/><BR/>I clicked through to your blog on Millie and Bella and just wanted to pass on some info about Verbal Dyspraxia that may (or may not) be of interest. A very dear friend of mine had 3 children, all very bright but the little one was not speaking still and approaching 3. His older siblings could talk the hind leg off a chair at that age, but he seemed o demonstrate even stronger intellectual skills then they.<BR/><BR/>My friends did speech therapy, developmental paediatrition etc etc. She also did some research and read about a gluten free diet. She thought that she may as well give it a go - if a doctor told her to do something difficult she would have done it so why not try something simple (sounds a bit biblical doesn't it?).<BR/><BR/>Within 2 weeks he was putting phrases together. We saw them about 8 weeks after this and I was amazed at how much better he could communicate. He is pretty much up to date now. He will be starting school next year.<BR/><BR/>So I just thought that it might be something that could help Bella. I am sure you could find some more info about it on Google. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes and maybe it worth a look.<BR/><BR/>LouiseLouise Hambridgehambridge.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391784.post-19745134515749775132007-12-30T22:23:00.000-08:002007-12-30T22:23:00.000-08:00Yes, of course I remember you Mike. We did a little trade in Boreham books, and you kindly mentioned some of my books on your site. <BR/><BR/>If you're retired, may you enjoy it: I can recommend retirement :-)<BR/><BR/>Shalom!

You might remember me as the (former) manager of OC Books in Dunedin, New Zealand. We had correspondence at times over your books, and over F W Boreham. I was just reminded of you while reading a study on stress in which one of your books was mentioned. <BR/>Mike Crowl<BR/>mcrowl@gmail.comMike Crowlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02823415769823932104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391784.post-78868456094586164002007-07-21T13:45:00.000-07:002007-07-21T13:45:00.000-07:00July 21, 2007<BR/>I got to thinking about this song that my father sang to me in the early-mid 1940s and this site was the only hit on Google. To add his words to those two verses posted, here they are:<BR/><BR/>Oh my babby, my curly headed babby,<BR/>we'll sit beneath the trees and sing a lullaby to the moon, to the moon.<BR/><BR/>That's all he ever sang. I was trying to find out if these words were correct, but they're different from both posts on this site.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if anyone will ever see this post, since the original was three years ago! Also, I don't know how I'll ever find out if it's being seen. Well, here it is for posterity.Appooktanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391784.post-32896907199122967532007-04-24T18:18:00.000-07:002007-04-24T18:18:00.000-07:00Just received a nice email from the author, giving permission to reproduce this with her name attached<BR/><BR/>RowlandRowland Croucherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13473460918145751334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7391784.post-1153412156408920502006-07-20T09:15:00.000-07:002006-07-20T09:15:00.000-07:00<A HREF="http://www.goddessgift.com" REL="nofollow">Thank God (and Goddess</A>)for a girl who gives thanks for colors!

This one will not <BR/>remain on the ground floor for long.<BR/><BR/>Keep Reading!!!!<BR/><BR/>===============<BR/>"BREAKING NEWS"<BR/>===============<BR/><BR/>-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market<BR/>the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to <BR/>REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry. <BR/><BR/>These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can<BR/>be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years. <BR/><BR/>Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits. <BR/>Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood<BR/>make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.<BR/><BR/>the wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice<BR/>as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has <BR/>the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and<BR/>time to replant and develop new root systems.<BR/><BR/>Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million<BR/>with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated <BR/>growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.<BR/><BR/>Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues. <BR/>As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world <BR/>EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced <BR/>about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.<BR/><BR/>Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand, <BR/>Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.<BR/>Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.<BR/><BR/>Conclusion:<BR/><BR/>The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little<BR/>known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens. <BR/>This stock will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right <BR/>Now!
