There was a man who was newly in charge of preparations for the Meeting between the elders and the people. This was always the most important Meeting of the year, of it the Agreement would come. It was when the people could tell the elders they needed and when the elders could tell the people they would provide. It was a great tradition. Not only did it serve useful as a means for making sure both would be happy and secure for the time to come, but also as a ritual to bring the sides together and show they were different but one. Much was to be ready for the circumstance and celebration. The preparation man who was newly in charge was very much aware of this, having been witness to other men who were in charge of this doing. Now it was his turn and he should make it better than it ever was. He had an amount of time and he set forth to make use of it. He thought of the many options of how it could be done.
He researched all the preparations from Meetings before. He at whole became familiar and intimate with that all had ever been done for the preparations of every Meeting which at every historically took place. He scoured every document and record of the preparations that had been heretofore accepted with heart and beloved by sentient and conversly those that were shunned by scandal and repaired by shame. His was the work of no other preparation man before him and this was the Meeting of no other time hence. He was sure of it.
Secretly, ken to no one, he made commands for and from every known and unknown (not without some private and unannounced beguiling) maker of Meeting supplements. These commands were sent far and over. They came reposed and scattered and their replys were studied and piqued. Unheard word was sent for scourelous manufacturers to make their stock avail. Finally, at a time allowed by such magnanamous and thorough diligence, the preparations were scaled. This was indeed going to be the most magnificent Meeting that has ever to the world occured, thought the preparation man and he made his way to the place where the Meeting was to occur.
When he arrived he crumbled to the ground, crushed under the weight of what he rendered and what he bore. The Meeting was over. Since there were seemingly no preparations, there was confusions, since there was confusions, there was no harmony, no ritual, no Agreement. The peoples were scattered randomly on the field, cross at each other's throat, showing a broughten harm that threatened and ended. There were to be no more Meetings, no more Agreements. The congruity was finished. Multitudes of men were shown no preparations. They fell upon each other. It was over.
The preparation man was the only one left. He looked upon the end.
The preparation man knew they had to be buried. His mind went at once to work on how it should be done. He thought of the many options of how.....

Ranger: We Have Our Missing Boy ScoutBy ESTES THOMPSON Associated Press Writer Posted March 20 2007, 12:25 PM EDT
McGRADY, N.C. -- Park rangers escorted a weak and dehydrated 12-year-old Boy Scout out of the rugged North Carolina mountains on Tuesday, four days after he wandered away from his troop's camp site.Michael Auberry was brought the final distance by SUV, then carried into a ranger station, where a medical team and his parents met him."We have our missing Boy Scout," said a jubilant National Park Service spokeswoman Tina White.White said she didn't have exact details about where or how Michael was found, but officials first received word shortly before 11 a.m. that he was spotted within a mile and a half of the camp site."Probably the most important thing we heard on the radio is A-1, which means he is in good condition," she said.The radio communication from the search team that found Michael set off a celebration among leaders of several Scout troops waiting for news about the boy. "A lot of tears, a lot of hugs," White said, and members of Michael's church joined hands to pray at the staging area."This shows that when everybody works together, good things happen," said associate minister Susan Norman Vickers of Christ United Methodist Church. "We just believed that he was going to be found."Michael vanished after lunch with his fellow Scouts and troop leaders on Saturday. His father said the adults and the other boys on the trip told him Michael had slept late but nothing appeared to have been wrong."He was in good spirits," Auberry said. "He ate lunch, chatting with the boys. He was walking around with I think some Pringles and a mess kit. The next moment, sounds like a blink of the eye, he was gone."Authorities said the boy probably wandered into the woods to explore.

Parents arrested for child abuse
By ESTES THOMPSON Associated Press Writer Posted March 20 2007, 12:51 PM EDT
McGRADY, N.C. -- The parents of a twelve year old boy who was found earlier today after wandering the woods for four days have been arrested for child abuse and taken for booking to the county police station.
The parents of Michael Auberry, Gene Auberry, 41, and Michelle Auberry, 38, were reunited with the lost boy shortly after noon today and were joyous and tearful. "I didn't know if we'd ever see our son alive again," Michelle commented, "we want to thank everyone here at the reconnaissance camp who helped find our boy!"
The happy and thankful mood turned for the worse a short while later however. After a brief onsite medical examination showed the boy needed nothing more than ample amounts of cold water, he was turned over to the custody of his awaiting parents. Once clear from the emcampment though, loud slapping sounds and screams were heard from the direction of the family's car.
Authorities rushed to the car and found Gene on one knee with the boy sprawled out over his other knee. The boy's pants had been pulled down and his father was beating his bare flesh with a stick. Simultaneously, the child's mother was pulling his hair and slapping his face.
Both parents could be heard mumbling and grunting unmentionable phrases, deriding the boy's excursion.
It took several police officers, some rescue workers and a number of onlookers to get the parents away from their son, "It was nearly impossible to get that switch away from Gene, he was pissed man," said Homer Jones, a neighbor and fellow father of a boy scout.
Susan Vickers of Christ United Methodist Church, on scene to offer moral support, took the parents point of view to heart, "I can't blame them actually, if I were in their shoes I'da beat the shit outta that kid too, who does he think he is...Daniel Boone?"
The parents will be arraigned in Barstow County Family Court later this week. The child is in the temporary custody of the county's family services division.

The difference between 99% and 100% is only 1% but far greater than the difference between 1% and 99%, even though that difference is 98%
I/E: diff: 99%/100% > diff: 1%/99%
1% > 98% ??? yes...
...why? Because the difference between 99% and 100% is the difference between imperfection and perfection, and is rarely, if ever, acheived.
THEREFORE: A filing tray with one contract looks far emptier than an empty filing tray.
It's not a fact, but it's the TRUTH.
