Artist/Band: Cash Johnny Lyrics for Song: Ballad of Ira Hayes Ira Hayes CHORUS: Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war Gather round me people there's a story I would tell About a brave young Indian you should remember well From the land of the Pima Indian A proud and noble band Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land Down the ditches for a thousand years The water grew Ira's peoples' crops 'Till the white man stole the water rights And the sparklin' water stopped Now Ira's folks were hungry And their land grew crops of weeds When war came, Ira volunteered And forgot the white man's greed CHORUS: Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill, Two hundred and fifty men But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again And when the fight was over And when Old Glory raised Among the men who held it high Was the Indian, Ira Hayes CHORUS: Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war Ira returned a hero Celebrated through the land He was wined and speeched and honored; Everybody shook his hand But he was just a Pima Indian No water, no crops, no chance At home nobody cared what Ira'd done And when did the Indians dance CHORUS: Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war Then Ira started drinkin' hard; Jail was often his home They'd let him raise the flag and lower it like you'd throw a dog a bone! He died drunk one mornin' Alone in the land he fought to save Two inches of water in a lonely ditch Was a grave for Ira Hayes CHORUS: Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes But his land is just as dry And his ghost is lyin' thirsty In the ditch where Ira died

I'll give the salute again this year.Too bad we are still in Iraq. I think this link EWO posted in the PATRIOTISM topic says it well. http://www.managedmusic.com/beforeyougo.html

It's a hard yes or no vote but I had to go no.I think adult jokes would be OK.Some adult photos but not full frontal or a butt shot that shows too much frontal. For breasts mothers even let babies see them.& they can nurse a baby in public so I would say there OK. I think resopalrabotnicksums it up pretty well here:

tommie gorman ;I did some looking for this information on some Camaro sites.As far as I found only the RS had the headlight covers.I'm sure a lot of SS owners managed to get the RS grill & lights for their cars.Another interesting fact I found was although there were 1967 Z28s if one has the chrome emblems for Z28 they are from a newer model.1968 was the first year with them. Heres the rest of what I copied at the Camaro sites: The 1967 model Camaro was the only year were the headlight door covers were electronically operated. Later years they were operated by vacuum. Headlight covers on 1968 RS models were now vacuum operated rather than electronically as in the 1967 model year 1969 Camaro RS models Up front, partially see-through headlight covers were used with the Rally Sport grille package (previous RS headlight covers were solid panels). Optional Rally Sport models had vacuum-operated headlight covers with three see-through slots which permitted limited lighting even with headlight doors closed and lights on 1970 Camaro The Rally Sport hideaway headlights were no longer available. 1969 was the last Camaro model year to have hide-away headlights.

resopalrabotnick;I guess I prefer a stick.I've driven both ..I guess when you've shifted a stick long enough it feels automatic.I would like it if they put a factory roll control on the stick.Stopped uphill & taking off is one of the few times I would like an automatic but a roll control will take care of that. I have had some cars with automatics.My 1957 Chevrolet Wagon had a 283 engine & cast iron powerglide.I also had a 1963 Plymouth Fury with a push button automatic.The first automatic I drove was a 1954 Buick with a Dynaflow automatic & enclosed driveline really quite.I could list more but those are the more unusual automatics I've owned or driven.The rest were Ford c4 or c6 & GM Turbohydramatics. The crazy one to drive is a manual 3 speed column shifter.An old worn one can put the transmission in 2 gears at the same time & kill the transmission. tommie gorman ;Wasn't it the 1968 & 69 RS that had the covered head lights that the SS didn't?

amc11890 ;I would go with the manual sometimes an automatic is nice but why not learn to drive a manual.I started driving a manual when I was 10 years old.Not on the street.It was my grandads 1941 Cheverolet pickup.There was a large feild he let me drive it in. I've driven both Chevrolets & Fords & quite few other cars.I've never owned a Japanese car & don't plan to .Both have pros & cons. CA3LE I have had much better luck with valves on both kinds than you .My main wear problem has always been rings.For valves I usually get 100000 + .The fastest I ever drove was in a 1966 Ford Galaxy with a 390 about 160 mph.The fastest car I was ever in was a 1964 Chevelle Malibu 327 at the time but this changed from time to time.The freind that had it raced it & blew a lot of motors. It's 1/4 mile time was around 11 & 1/4 sec.It was supercharged with dual quads,12 to 1 pistons,headers with dual glasspacs,An H-pipe probably would have added some balance but he usually raced it with strait headers.You could still get leaded premium at the time.I think super Shell was 110 to 112 octane.Those were the days.

tommie gorman ;The pic was a little small. I like something to the hood at least some better lines in the metal to me the 2006 is very plain as far as the hood goes. The one in the pic is a 2004 isn't it?

Thanks EWO;I throughly enjoyed the video & song.My dad was aWW2 vet.He was in the Navy.He was on 3 different tanker ships .2 were sank & he spent time in the water in the Pacific.Then the US let him & other sailors from his ship walk around Hiroshima about 3 weeks after the A-bomb was dropped.I sure that was safe. He died in 1980 at 54 years old so he's been gone a long time.

amc11890 ;The new Mustang 2006 has too plain a hood for me .Still being a Ford man I would see if I could get an after market hood or scoop to fix that.Unless Ford has a special order one for the Mustang. I'm going to address this because of your age.You better check the insurance cost.It can be a lot lower for a non GT model or any performance type.Get the regular model even with the same engine it is less. You can always add the decals & other parts these won't change the insurance.

Here's my take on it :If AT&T & Comcast don't want to spend billions to build broadband networks then no one is forcing them with the law anyway.So they can let the companies that want to invest in this build them instead.I somehow think they don't want to not build them.So why if there losing money? My answer is they know these improvements will pay for themselves even with a neutral net so they will do them even if they aren't allowed to sell premium tiers .The premium tiers would just allow them to make more money.

"In order to balance the safety of this American artifact with the peoples desire to view the flag, we are looking at displaying it at no more than a 30-degree angle," said Spencer R. Crew, director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. The iconic banner hung vertically in Flag Hall at the Museum of American History, on Washington D.C.'s National Mall, from 1964, when the museum opened, until December 1998 when it was taken down and moved to a specially constructed conservation lab in the museum. The flag was flown over Fort McHenry during the British bombardment on September 13 and 14, 1814. A British witness described it being hoisted on the morning of September 14 as the British ships retreated from Baltimore harbor. At about 7 a.m., Francis Scott Key, a Washington lawyer who had been detained on one of those ships, saw the flag flying over the fort and was inspired to write the patriotic and defiant words of the poem that became the U.S. national anthem. Planning for the current conservation project

Altoidz ;The total space should remain constant it is the total size of the partition or HD if the HD is not partitioned. The free space is what it says the space free to put data on.If there is more free space then you have lost data. The used space is what would be smaller if you lost data.
-
I like the way it looks now but the text size is small for some members.
-
Altoidz;You might read this topic it goes into more detail on "show hidden files" .I agree with ROM-DOS & Dark06 if your HD is a lot smaller then the data is probably gone.But it might be professionally recoverable if it is important enough data. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=13502.0

x_6985381 ;That's why I thought you might need some cooling.Since with the right cooling your motherboard won't run hot I would go for the new CPU unless you think the heat has already damaged the motherboard.If that is the situation the the heat has probably damaged the CPU too so replace both.

I just went & did a couple .I know the first one is not correct.I don't cache tests & as far as I know it is not possible to cache a test with dial-up on the main server.I can cache them at some of the mirrors if I want to.My test time of day is a little off I guess I need to go into my profile & adjust the time. :::..

x_6985381 ;F1 is the key for my BIOS on the manufacturer screen during boot.I can also get into BIOS by holding Ctrl key as it cold boots .This gives a "keyboard error"message & then it gives me the option of going to BIOS.The admistrator password for my motherboard not Windows gives full access or the user password gives limited access.

coknuck : I googled it since I haven't seen it on my OS.It seems to be OK.It should be a RunOnce program that cleans up some leftovers from installations.I read more but this is some of what I found below . Alot of people are wondering what it is. It's always been a small invisible program belonging to Windows and is exactly what it says it is, a clean up program. You are only noticing it now because of the spyware scanning procedures, especially when using Webroot Spy Sweeper or other spyware software that does a deep clean search. Programs that require a reboot need access to files extracted from archives before Windows reloads. This command loads the routine to clean up what is left in the temporary system files. It's part of your operating system so when asked if you want to delete it or keep it, click on KEEP IT. Wextract Cleanup0 is valid and legal software included or sold to help clean up temporary or cab files created by the installer software for a wide variety of software. You get a message at the end of an install. Reboot, then it runs just for the purpose of cleaning up all the debris left over from an install session. It is designed to self destruct after this work is done. So when it is still around, something went rong... because it is supposed to be gone after you reboot. wextract.exe is a small program built into Windows which can extract those little .cab (zip-files Microsoft style) files. This is probably a left-over from an installation of an application, in which wextract tries to clean up any temp-files needed for the installation. This alert you are getting, can be ignored, there seem to be more spyware-removers that think wextract.exe is a spyware, probably because it has algorythms similar to a 'real' spyware.

What ever happened to dwarf tossing & midget bowling?

I only eat bananas during the no -mosquito season as I beleive it attracts them to you. I can now sleep in my tree again since Keith Richards fell out of it.

Funny video. He would be worried about the up coming ROM-DOS & cholla ticket. On the serious side I don't think we would have went to war with Iraq.911 might not have happened.

EWO ;The article in my post above is suppose to be a letter to the President from Cheif Seattle about the US government wanting to buy land from his tribe.There is some disagreement over if this is a fact.But it makes you think not just how the Indians were treated bit about how we treat the Earth. I have at least two kinds of Native American in my gene pool but like I told tommie gorman. If your ancestors have been in America several generations there were many more men settlers that women settlers.The men took Native American women as mates & sometimes wives.Then because of prejudice & because problems about Native Americans being able to own land.They hid the fact they were part Native American if they could.So most Americans have more Native American in their gene pool that they are aware of.
