When it comes to the idea of doing a business, most people will have the idea of you will need big capital in order for you to do a business. If you have used the internet long enough, you should hear from people or reading from the internet how people able to have a very profitable business. The most amazing thing that you can hear from them is that they actually started their business with a shoestring budget.

The real truth on the internet is that you will be able to have your own internet business without you having to fork out a lot of capital. One of the most cost effective and very profitable businesses is the affiliate marketing model. Affiliate marketing can be defined simply as being paid commissions for promoting other people’s product.

What you will need to invest on will be domains, hosting and autoresponder. The 3 most basic things that you will need in your affiliate marketing business. The capital cost of maintaining the business can be as little as $150 per month. What you will really need in this business is not really lots of capital although it can help, but lots of commitment and time. You must be willing to take action.

If you are willing to put in the time, effort and the small investment on your part monthly, you will find a business that will always be open for 24 hours. The internet will never be close and the market that you can reach will be the whole world as you will not be affected by location. What you will need is a correct and workable affiliate business system that other people have used it before and they succeeded in doing the business. When you have the right system, you will really cut short your journey to your success as you will not have to make the same mistakes that other people have make previously.

Although affiliate marketing business is a very cost effective way of doing a business, your attitude towards it is very important. If you treat it as your own real business, be willing to put in the effort, time and money, you will be able to have a very profitable business. Remember that it is your business and if you are going to treat it as a hobby, the advice that I will give to you is not to waste anymore of your own time, effort and money.

“That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death…”
(Philippians 3:10)

Christianity can’t exist without resurrection. The main difference of Christianity and other religions is the reality of resurrection. All other religions have founders who were born, lived and died - only Christianity is worshiping Jesus who was not only born, who not only lived and died, but He rose again from the death.

A well known Easter song says: ” Christ is resurrected from dead, stepping with death over death and giving life to those laying in the tombs”. The apostle Paul says that there is no faith and hope without resurrection.

Our tendency is to put more accent on Christmas, because of the commercial aspect, but you can’t be a Christian without believing and without experiencing the resurrection.

The purpose of Paul was to know Jesus and to personally experience the power of Jesus resurrection.

The power of resurrection brings victory over sin. Is not only about forgiveness of the sins, but it’s about being victorious over the root of the sins, the sin itself. The resurrection is giving us power to be like Jesus, sinless and accepted by God.

Without the existence of the resurrection there is not salvation, because Jesus would have been only a good teacher, a kind man who died unjustly…and this is the end of the story.

Resurrection is showing us that Jesus’ sacrifice was accepted and the New Covenant is now valid.

The power of resurrection brings victory over death. The fear of death is the worst enemy of our happiness. We live our lives under this dark cloud - death and our lives are affected dramatically by the fear of death. But since we know that Jesus was there and is victorious, we are no longer afraid to die with Him, because we know that we will be resurrected with Him.

The power of resurrection is the power to live. “And the life is worth to live, because He lives.” Many people don’t find a good reason to live, but the apostle Paul says he knows and pursue only one purpose and this is enough for him: TO KNOW JESUS.

Knowing Jesus is not the boring Sunday service, is not the boring and long sermon, but is a living relationship, a wonderful daily experience of His character, of His providence and of His love.

Why do you live? Is your life full of power and joy ? If not reconsider your position toward RESURRECTION and start living it’s experience in your life.

In Part 2 we will discuss phones, monitors, desks and filing systems for our office of the future. So let’s get started!

Phones and Phone Systems

Does your phone often find a resting place between your head and your shoulders called the neck. If so, you may discover that using a headset is much more comfortable and productive.

You will not have that familiar neck ouch and will have both of your hands free while you are on hold, taking notes from your call or completing another task. This means that you will be more efficient.

Employees will be using many more wireless blue tooth headsets and will be able to walk all over the building and keep in touch like they are sitting at their desk. This will enhance their productivity and increase their multi- tasking.

Good and not so good because multi-tasking is a breeding ground for stress which can lead to repetitive stress injuries. In addition it is possible that the employee will not be paying attention to where they are going.

Monitors

Everyone will have a flat panel monitor. They may even be standard when ordering new computer systems. They create openness on the desk that is more visually appealing and relaxing. There may actually be some extra room for family pictures!

I see larger screens directly in front of computer user so that they can have “face to face” phone meeting with those at other sites anywhere in the world. People must have the flexibility to “accept” the visual phone call so that their privacy is not invaded. Also, the monitor must be placed at a comfortable distance so as not to affect their eyes.

These large monitor screens will allow you to see who you are talking too but too large to work with comfortably. It is important for the head and neck to be in a natural posture when looking at the screen instead of moving back and forth, which can create pain.

Desk Furniture and Filing Systems

There will be an increase in electric sit stand desks so that people can sit and stand within seconds. Sitting in one position all day does not promote movement and the body was made to move.

Standing is especially good for those experiencing back pain because it helps to keep the “s” curve of the back intact. The way most people sit in their desk chairs (slouched and slumped) is enough to create additional back injuries.

The desk must come with enough open space underneath so that knees are not bumping into drawers and furniture partitions. The legs must be able to move from one area to the next with complete ease.

I see fewer filing cabinets, as more and more documents will be stored electronically further decreasing office clutter…at least I hope because this may even save some trees! There will be more use of software to “file” these items for easy retrieval.

In Part 3 we will discuss….Architectural Innovations - Overhead Lighting, Partial Cubicles, Personal Storage and Homier Designs.

So you’re a grown woman and you’re thinking of getting a tattoo. What was once reserved for tough guys and biker babes has now become mainstream, although tattoos still raise eyebrows in some circles. Especially when they are on “mature” women.

My first tattoo was an act of rebellion, although I didn’t think of it that way at the time. I was 30 and struggling with living life in an oppressive marriage. The tattoo is on my ankle - a phoenix, and after 14 years it still looks good. I have six tattoos now and they tend to come at turning points and as celebrations. My largest is on my upper left arm and is a tribute to my children and grandchildren. When a new grandchild is born, the tattoo expands. I love tattoos. For me, they are my life illustrated, even though people who don’t know me would have no idea what they mean to me.

For grown-up women considering a tattoo, here are some tips and things to think about:

You will get funny looks from some people - plan on it, and don’t be bothered by it. Everyone has their biases and some people still have a problem with tattoos.

Make absolutely sure you choose something that you will be happy to see on yourself 20 years from now. It’s not going away unless you have it removed via laser (expensive and quite painful).

Be careful where you put the tattoo. Think about how that area will change over the rest of your life and consider the consequences.

Getting a tattoo is painful. Anyone who tells you it isn’t has never gotten one. Depending on where you get the tattoo, it may be more or less painful. My most painful one was on my middle lower back. To me, getting a tattoo is a cross between a cutting and a burning sensation. It’s not a horrible pain, but it’s painful nevertheless.

Make sure you use a reputable tattoo artist. Reputable artists have portfolios that you can view, will explain and/or demonstrate all sterilization and sanitary procedures and ask you to sign a release. They will show you the needle(s) that they intend to use while they are still sealed in their packages. Expect all of this and don’t be shy about asking questions. A good artist will be happy to accommodate you.

Have a good idea of what you want. You can take your own sketches, pictures from books, etc. to the tattoo artist and he or she will help you get exactly what you want. Tattoo shops also have books full of “flash” that you can look at and get ideas from.

Tattoos take about two to three weeks to heal. The process may involve some itching and flaking of the area. This is normal, but for goodness sake, don’t scratch it or pick at it! I use A&D Ointment on mine during the healing process, but different artists will recommend different things. Follow your artist’s advice on how to care for your new tattoo. Don’t freak out when you see some color flake off!

Once the tattoo is healed ALWAYS protect it from sun exposure. Use a good sunblock, but don’t apply sunblock to a tattoo that isn’t yet healed. Color fades when exposed to the sun and in cases of sun exposure over years, the tattoo can lose its definition.

These days, tattoos are considered a form of self-expression and appreciated by many as a true art form. Adults of all ages are sporting tattoos proudly. Make sure you’re ready and you’ve got a great artist. Then go for it!

Auto enthusiasts have longed for a miles per gallon meter which is easily
attached to any vehicle and inexpensive. Well, long no further, it’s here.

The Kohler Miles Per Gallon Meter displays actual miles per gallon being
consumed when the vehicle is driven. The meter may indicate 5-10 mpg when
lugged going up hill, or 55-65 mpg coasting down that same hill. All that’s needed
is for the vehicle to move in drive.

You say that you don’t have a car? Not to worry. This device works equally on
a SUV, bus, truck,motorcycle, scooter, and even an ultralight airplane! And, it
doesn’t care if you use gasoline, diesel fuel, or ethanol.

Best of all is the cost, less than $10.00 ! This is the direct result of simplicity.
Neither the front sensor nor the rear sensor connect to anything under the hood or
dashboard. They do connect to a windshield display in a ‘heads up’ style.

“Business as usual” engineering would not produce a universal, fits all vehicles,
miles per gsallon meter. This type instrumentation is only offered when built in at
the factory. For luxury vehicles. Can you imagine a DIY customer attempting to
place all the usual sensors into the fuel rail, or carburetor , and transmission? Might
a fire or explosion result. You bet!

Interestingly, designers are becoming aware that many complex quantities can be
measured without being touched. A good example is the BRITA ULTRAMAX
water filter replacement indicator LED. This element indicates when to replace the
old filter with a new one, without the need to touch the old filter, or sample the filter-
ed water. Fascinating thinking outside the box!

That same sort of thinking resulted in creating this patent-pending miles per gal-
lon meter. Instead of manipulating countless measurements, the Kohler meter uses
only one value and continuously distorts it up or down, depending on front and rear
sensor inputs. Hence, you get very easy attachment to a variety of vehicles, at a rock
bottom cost.

If it isn’t in Google, it probably doesn’t exist. That statement may strike you as an exaggeration, but a lot of people act as if it were true. They run a quick Google search, and if they don’t find what they’re after right away, they’re more likely to adjust their query than move on to another search engine. So if your site is listed on AltaVista, Yahoo, and every other search index on the planet, but Google doesn’t know about it, chances are good that millions of people are going to miss it, too.

In addition, it’s not just Google proper you should be concerned about. Google’s reach is broad, powering the Web search features of AOL and Amazon, your neighour’s website or blog, even other search engines like Lycos. And those are just the obvious ones proudly displaying a “Google Search”. Many more use Google as an underyling search service without announcing the fact.

So if you have a site and you want people to find it, you have to get in Google. Here’s what we won’t tell you: tips on gaming the Google engine, interfering with the proper functioning of its index or otherwise playing the Google ranking game unfairly. While Google tries its hardest to keep up with such attempts - and does a pretty good job of it - people have found some dirty tricks that pay off in the short run. If you came to this article looking for that sort of edge, you’d best look elsewhere. A sense of fairness ought to keep you playing straight. But if it doesn’t, consider this: Google is known for ignoring or even removing from its database sites that try to trick the crawlers or interfere in the proper operation of the Google engine. Don’t become one of the tens of thousands of losers each day who are blacklisted by Google.

Getting Your Site Ready for Google

If you want people - and Google - to notice your site, you’ve got to make it presentable. That means paying attention to visual, interactive and technical details.

While Google doesn’t give care for your choice of colour scheme or whether your humour site is actually funny, it does care about many of the same things your visitors do. If your site is difficult for Google to roam through and road, the search engine is unlikely to index it properly and thus include it in search results as you’d like.

Here’s some of the things you can do in order to win friends and influence Google:

Don’t Hide Indoors

Google only tracks what is actually on the Web and readily accessible. Just because your site is on a server, doesn’t mean other people can see it. If you trap your site behind a corporate firewall, at the end of a cable-modem or DSL link that doesn’t allow traffic to your home server, or in any other way make it unreachable to the general public, Google will never find it. It may sound obvious, but many a fledgling Webmaster has missed this point. Don’t be one of them.

If you set up your site at work and you can’t reach it from outside your corporate networ, chances are your company doesn’t like its employees running web sites from its computers and has set their system to prevent it. Check with your IT department about their policy and where best to put your site on their system.

If you’ve set up your site at home, make sure your Internet Service Provider lets you run a server over their network. Many don’t, so it’s important to ask. But they may well provide some space for your site on their own servers. In fact, most individuals’ sites actually live on their ISP’s servers, or third party hosting companies.

Appear Stable

Google - and your visitors - are likely to be put off by complex URLs that are hard to decode and differentiate from one another. For instance, nobody but you and your server knows what to make of http://www.example.com/products.cgi?cat=autoparts&partnum=6502.

Humans like easily readable, memorable addresses. But Google has its own logic for avoiding complicated URLs. The problem, as Google sees it, is that complex addresses often point to dynamic pages - those that your site has created temporarily, in response to a query. And a dynamic page suggests to Google that your site may have a large database underlying it - one that would take its spiders eons to discern all the possible ways people could view that data.

- You can spot dynamic pages easily: they include a “?” in the URL -

For example, say your site sells socks and it’s connected to your huge database containing descriptions and prices for thousands of pairs of socks. When somebody searches your website for ‘blue children’s socks’. your site might generate a page just for that person, showing the eight items that match that query. If Google catches a whiff of this setup, it flees in terror, assuming that to properly track your site it would need to index thousands of millions of pages, many of which might show the same thing in a different order.

The most well-known system for creating dynamic pages is called GCI, which stands for Common Gateway Interface and is the “Look at me, I’m building Web pages on the fly” of file types. CGI scripts are bits of programming code you can set to build web pages on request out of databases and other bits and bobs. If you’re using CGI scripts, Google may not properly index your site, which is what’s happening if Google seems to know about all of your site except for the parts served up by a CGI script. It the situation were dire enough (that is Google is ignoring you altogether), you might want to consider reconfiguring your system.

Because it knows what it’s getting, Google is more comfortable with sites consisting of pages that you always have up (known as static pages). URLs with endings like .html and .htm indicate stability and are thus Google-friendly.

Provide a clear path into your site

Google, like humans, hates wasting time on superfluous pages. The most serious offender is the splash page, that annoying intro page that you sometimes have to view or click through before you get to a site’s real home page. Splash pages typically feature Flash animations that can suck important minutes out of your day, but offer nary a real link to anything. Google - and many visitors - take a dim view of splash pages. Do everyone a favour and skip them. You can show off your graphic sensibility and your Flash skills on real pages in your site.

Don’t use frames if you can help it.

Frames - pieces of web pages you can designate to appear independently of other items on a page, like scrolling a scrolling column that moves while the navigation bar next to it stays put - are confusing to robots and people alike. Use them sparingly, if you must use them at all, and label them clearly. You should also consider providing a noframes option just in case the spider- or, indeed, your visitor’s browser - doesn’t know quite what to do with frames.

Find and Fix Broken Links

Google’s spiders, like nearly all web site visitors, have zero interest in guessing where this or that link should have taken them. In fact, spiders have nothing but links to go on to find the rest of your site; don’t stop them short with a broken link. Before you publish a new article or add any new links within your site, preview the content in your browser and make sure that any links you’ve embedded do, in fact, point where they’re supposed to.

For almost fifty years, disulfiram or TETD, has been a staple for alcohol addicts trying to quit. It is estimated that about 200,000 people use the medication regularly to help them stay sober. In this article, and two more coming the next weeks, we will take a closer look at disulfiram and alcoholism treatment.

The History Of Disulfiram

Disulfiram or TETD was originally a chemical used in the manufacture of rubber in the early 1900’s. In 1937, it was discovered that workers who were too closely exposed to TETD developed a reaction if they drank alcohol. If one of these workers consumed alcohol, his face would turn red and he would suffer from unpleasant symptoms like hypotension and tachycardia. This was noticed by a physician, and he suggested that disulfiram might be effective for getting people to stop drinking. As it often is with great inventions, nobody listened to him.

Experiments with disulfiram continued. In the 1940’s, two scientists who were experimenting with using it to see what effect it had on the respiratory system of lower life forms made some important discoveries. In the spirit of science , the men took a dose of TETD themselves to see what would happen. What did happen was that they couldn’t even go near a drop of alcohol without getting sick. Through this, it was discovered that disulfiram or TETD has an effect on how we metabolize alcohol, and in a short time, doctors were prescribing it to alcoholic patients.

In the early 1960’s, this drug fell out of favor. This was because, since its discovery, doctors had been prescribing doses that were too high, which caused their patients having severe reactions. Sensibly enough, they figured they needed a high dose in order for it to interact with alcohol. In the 1950’s, a common daily dose might be as much as 3,000 mg. While it worked in keeping them off the bottle, it also caused some nasty side effects. More experiments were carried out and, since the 1960’s, the normal does has been something like 500 mg a day. The dosage depends on several factors, including how severe an alcohol addict the patient is. Doctors have refined their techniques for prescribing TETD since the advent of its use.

The Clinical Use Of Disulfiram

The first step to treat an alcoholic is for him to stop the alcohol drinking. Next, he must be detoxified, followed by a period of being sober. This period is mandatory in order to restore his brain chemistry to normal. Disulfiram is most effective early on, helping the patient to simply avoid drinking. Furthermore, it may be good to keep taking TETD for the next year as a safeguard against relapsing. Friends or family members can help to make sure the patient is taking the medication regularly.

Like alkaseltzer, disulfiram is dissolved in water. After drinking it down, another glass of clean water should drunk next. It is best for the patient to take the first one in the doctor’s office, under the doctor’s supervision, more than 12 hours since the last alcohol drink. This is very important. It helps to do it in the office so that the patient isn’t tempted to have one last one on his or her way home.

For the alcohol addict to stop drinking, just taking the TETD pills isn’t enough. The patient should attend Alcoholics Anonymous or another alcohol addiction support group. They should go to the group meetings on a regular basis, and they should also keep up their medication as the doctor has prescribed. I will follow up with a new article about disulfiram soon.

6. Learn what to do if something goes wrong.

(a) If a scammer takes advantage of you through an Internet auction, when you’re shopping online, or in any other way, report it to the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov. The FTC enters Internet, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

(b) If you get deceptive spam, including email pishing for your information, forward it to “spam at uce.gov” (replace “at” with the @ sign).

Be sure to include the full Internet header of the email. In many email programs, the full “Internet header” is not automatically included in forwarded email messages, so you may need to take additional measures to include the full information needed to detect deceptive pam.

(c) If you believe you have mistakenly given your information to a fraudster, file a complaint at the FTC’s website and then visit their Identity Theft website to learn how to minimize your risk of damage from a potential theft of your identity.

7. Use anti-virus software, a firewall, and anti-spyware software to help keep your computer safe and secure. Don’t be put off by the word “firewall.” It’s not necessary to fully understand how it works; it’s enough to know what it does and why you need it. Firewalls help keep hackers from using your computer to send out your personal information without your permission. While anti-virus software scans incoming email and files, a firewall is like a guard, watching for outside attempts to access your system and blocking communications from and to sources you don’t permit. Some spammers search the Internet for unprotected computers they can control and use anonymously to send unwanted spam emails. They refer to these as “zombie computers”.

If you don’t have up-to-date anti-virus protection and a firewall, spammers may try to install software that lets them route email through your computer, often to thousands of recipients, so that it appears to have come from your account. If this happens, you may receive an overwhelming number of complaints from recipients, and your email account could be shut down by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Some operating systems and hardware devices come with a built-in firewall that may be shipped in the “off” mode. Make sure you turn it on. For your firewall to be effective, it needs to be set up properly and updated regularly. Check your online “Help” feature for specific instructions.

8. Be sure to set up your operating system and Web browser software properly, and update them regularly. Hackers also take advantage of unsecured Web browsers (like Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system software (like Windows or Linux). Lessen your risk by changing the settings in your browser or operating system and increasing your online security. Check the “Tools” or “Options” menus for built-in security features. If you need help understanding your choices, use your “Help” function.

Your operating system also may offer free software patches that close holes in the system that hackers could exploit. In fact, some common operating systems can be set to automatically retrieve and install patches for you. If your system does not do this, bookmark the website for your system’s manufacturer so you can regularly visit and update your system with defenses against the latest attacks. Updating can be as simple as one click. Your email software may help you avoid viruses by giving you the ability to filter certain types of spam. It’s up to you to activate the filter. In addition, consider using operating systems that allow automatic updates.

9. Subscribe to a managed security services. As the best form of protection available today, you get much more than just software. You get professional grade technology coupled with having a team of security experts available to help with any security problem. This level of protection has never been available for homes and small businesses until now, and, because of the increase in online security threats, risks, and attacks, it is becoming the future of Internet security.

Although the Internet basically provides a positive and productive experience, cyber-attacks against our personal privacy and security are reaching epidemic proportions. These attacks are occurring in our own homes and businesses. Our own computers are being used are being used as zombies to attack other people, businesses, and even our nation itself. As an average Internet user, you may not be aware of these threats nor have any idea about the dramatically increasing risks you face when connected to the Internet.

On a campaign for internet safety awareness and protection, my mission is to bring critical awareness to individuals, families, and small business owners, and to provide access to the necessary tools and ongoing expertise to secure your computer and help you stay protected.

I invite you to join the many thousands of others who have tested their computers, discovered these threats are real, and taken the necessary steps to protect themselves.

Now that you have become aware of these issues, I encourage you to share this vital information with your families, friends and communities. Together, we can reach many millions of people and inform them about the threats to their privacy and security, and help them get the protection they desperately need.

Remember: When you say “No!” to hackers and spyware, everyone wins! When you don’t, we all lose! © MMVII, Etienne A. Gibbs, MSW, Internet Safety Advocate and Educator

Etienne A. Gibbs, Internet Safety Advocate, recommends to individuals and small business owners the protection (including free lifetime technical support and $25,000 identity theft insurance and recovery) package he uses. For more information, visit http://www.SayNotoHackersandSpyware.com/.

In a shocking news story, head of the Center for Veterinary Medicine, CVM of the FDA, Dr Steven Sundlof says that some stores have not removed contaminated dog food from their shelves.

Initially, the dog food recall involved Menu Foods which has recalled more than 100 brands of dog food. That recall has expanded and continues to grow with more brands and manufacturers being added to the recall list almost daily.

Dr. Sundlof told Senators in a recent hearing that he could not rule out the discovery of more tainted food.

While the FDA continues its investigation and monitoring of dog food retailers, the sad result is that some retailers are continuing to sell contaminated dog food. While there is no evidence that this is intentional, the sad fact remains that dogs who eat this food are in danger of suffering from kidney failure and dying.

The Veterinary Information Network states that between 2,000 to 7,000, pet deaths have been reported since the inception of the dog food crisis.

With the possibility of more poison dog food being discovered and some retailers not having removed poison dog food from their shelves, reports of kidney failure and death in dogs will most likely continue to grow.

Who Do You Believe?

Elizabeth Hodgkins, DVM indicated that said pet food labels should be prohibited from proclaiming claims of safety unless ingredients are rigorously tested. The veterinarian went on to say that such testing does not take place.

Dr Hodgkins went on to tell U.S. Senators that:

“Through astonishingly successfully marketing efforts of the industry, pet owners and their veterinarians have come to believe that household pets must consume commercial foods, and only commercial foods, day in and day out, throughout their entire lives, in order to remain healthy”

We have long proclaimed the fallacy of this notion and the serious health consequences our dogs may experience if more attention is given to just what we feed our dogs.

The dog food industry stated the following in defense of commercial dog food products.

“Pet foods are safe,”

Yup, that’s it. One report indicates that Menu Foods blames the dog food recall on a clerical error.

Some deadly error !

As a consumer and dog parent, the choice is yours. Will you change the way you feed your dog? Will you find out if the dog food you feed your best friend is slowly poisoning her? Or will you believe the claims of the dog food industry?

News stories report that many dog owners are not aware of the impact of the dog food recall, nor have changed the food that they feed their dogs.

This is perhaps one of the more frightening collateral aspects of the story. Your dog depends on you for love and the basic necessities of life. Taking the time to become an informed dog parent can make the difference between having a long and happy life with your best friend or the possibility that your dog may become the next statistic in a database of recalled dog food deaths.

My small 8 year old dog suddenly became ill and no vet could determine the cause. Her life expectancy was 25 years. Don’t let anything happen to your best friend. See what’s in your dogs’ food at http://www.dogs-4life.com/dog-food-that-kills.html

It is amazing to read any media today! Even the Newspapers, commonly behind at least twenty-four hours, are up to date on some of these issues that are, like some huge bell, tolling the coming disasters.

I know you older citizens already know this stuff, but many do not. If they even pay any attention at all to the events unfolding before them on television and newspapers and blogs (which I never read).

Secure in the “womb” of ignorant bliss, there is hardly a question or raised eyebrow around here where I live! Due mostly to the three thousand gas wells being punched in this one county, there is somewhat of a labor shortage in this one industry, that only gives priority to anyone that can prove pryor experience (for the most part). The impact on the local economy is tremendous! Especially upon the rental market. There is hardly a home or commercial building to rent or lease, due to the industry “eating” them all up in ordinary ongoing business practice.

There is no end to millions of dollars being both paid out for leases and “percentages” of paying “holes”, but there is almost a one hundred percent brought in of “holes” punched!

I know that sounds incredible, but the Oil Companies have known, and have been “sitting” upon this field for many years. The new income from producing wells, coupled with the high future prices expected of natural gas, gives this field both the expediency of field work, but in all other connected industries. Such as pipelines. There a many, over a foot in diameter, being welded and buried. I can, from a short trip to the next town, count over a dozen gas wells erected above the tree-line and nearby fields unplanted and planted in crops.

Now you may be wondering, “What has this to do with some dooming “tolling” disaster?” Well, everything!

If you have heard the news that America is running out of Oil and Gas, then you are being a bit naive, are you not? And if you hear that the Democrats are trying hard to get “Our” troops out of Iraq, what makes you think that is not “pabulum” for your brain?

Whenever you hear news stories of massive firings of this nations Attorneys, instead of believing the lie of “going for political control”, by the Republicans, you should instead see a reason for the firings as momentous portents for you! How in the world can the outgoing administration lawyers get by without paying up for the many atrocities that they have committed, without firing the officials that would hear their cases?

If you doubt that, look at who is being fired, as well as where they officiated! The wonder is that the news media has not zeroed in on telling you that as they are firing Conservative, and Activist Attorneys, that would clear the way for a bit of leniency. And especially if that office is situated upon hallowed ground controlled by a Republican, who just might have helped with the Blitzkrieg in New Orleans, where thousands of people perished due to unpreparedness, and thousands more suffered from the totalitarianism displayed by the Homeland-less Scary Agents. Like cutting off any services that were quickly restored after the storm! Killing electricity to people in dire need, is tantamount to Murder! Just in case you didn’t know.

Just as lying to the public during a catastrophe is also Murder. Murder by Omission is also unthinkable, but it happened in New Orleans! Foreign Troops entered this country with AUTHORITY! In case you didn’t get that; it was authorized and they had authority, which is a big-time no-no in America! Not because they might help us as we help others. But because they didn’t just “help”, they initiated and secured and policed! That permission, once given sir, just in case you don’t know it, is punishable by hanging!

Hanging is also allowed for the torture of numerous persons that are not Americans, just as it would be administered to those that tortured Americans. You see, we committed ourselves long ago, by judging the Nazi rulers and military rulers, to a rule of law that says no matter who or where you do this, you will pay for it! Now, what I cannot understand is; why are our representatives and judicial system putting up with, I mean actually aiding and abetting this practice of torture on American Soil? I consider all land bases as well as Navy ships to be “American Soil” as well I should, seeing it is the law. YOU know? Law?

Lawyers are taking a head-first dive off the Empire State Building? That has always rang the bell, tolling events to come that are devastating to the common man in this country. As well, the lack of respecting private homes and property. As well as doing outrageous things that only a nut, er; that is; a mentally handicapped; er handi-capable? person would do! I can’t even stay politically correct!]

I don’t mean to offend, nor to point and accuse any one person. But I am making note of those that flaunt the law, and change it to suit themselves! This is an event that you will have to pay for in the long run!

The “Legal Beagles” will not have to pay for it, due to the firing of “conservative” lawyers! You would think that Conservative Republicans would welcome Conservative Lawyers, would you not? Well, just the opposite is true! The Republicans want laws enforced! But only against you, not themselves! You cannot kick open doors to anyones home. You cannot torture your neighbor. You cannot steal, rob, falsely imprisoned. You cannot kidnap and take anyone to a foreign country for imprisonment and torture. It is all of that, against the law in America. And you will pay the price. Unless you have done all this while being “employed” by any Presidential Administration!

Is that employment a loop-hole? No! It is not. It is not supposed to be. But, by firing the Lawyers that want the Laws of America to actually be blind, you substantially weigh your chances to escape punishment and even ridicule and embarrassment of being sued and tried. Think that over.

The event that is tolling is one of making a “One World Government”!

You may think that it is neat and correct to create one nation out of combining Mexico; the United States; and Canada; together. You are an ignorant fool if you do! And here is why…..

A Mexican Judge can rule that you should be tried by Mexican Law and order your arrest? Yep!
A Canadian Judge can rule you spoke out in public against Homosexuality, and order your arrest?
A United States Judge can rule that Catholic Church is the only one for us to attend? Yep!
The Russians have freedom of Religion! Of course if any Church wants to put up a new door, due to the old one being cracked and rotten, all they have to do is get a permit to do so. That process is a never ending one for any Church. That is control. That is the bell tolling here now!

This is not my personal opinion! This is fact! All our Utilities are being bought up by foreign interests quickly to get “under the gun” of our dooming coagulation of Governments making
big decisions that will become “life or death” for us! Things, like living, working, family life, will not get easier, it will get to be destroying to us!

No one likes to work out in the hundred plus degrees of Texas. No one wants a job where you have to carry and work steel and concrete to build a new highway. Not out in the heat where you have sweat running down you back all day until you pass out!

But Mexican Labor will. They are used to heat and hard work. They were born and raised doing it. We used to be that way. I have done that and more. But now a day any teenager that works outside a hamburger joint is looked upon as an idiot! Any man that is riding a machine in the road paving industry is looked upon as being stupid. And if he is wearing a white shirt, and of course a helmet, while riding in an air-conditioned white pickup, is seen as being an engineer. Which is tolerable, if the money follows it. Otherwise he is a wasted commodity? So who is going to do the hard work? The person that has too, in order to make a living! Right! You! You can and must do the hard back-breaking work of road building, loading ships, repairing and constructing buildings. OR you must be “for” “guest workers”. No middle ground here folks.

There is nothing wrong with Mexicans or Canadians or any other group immigrating into this country. Legally! Nor working here or studying here in college or student exchanges. BUT there is something wrong with our becoming judged; imprisoned; juried; and policed by any other country!

If we have sovereignty. If we have no borders, then why have a government at all? Oh!? No, they don’t want to espoused getting rid of Governments! That is because the money is made by building huge terraces and chasms in front of you, and by hiring low paid labor. You see, all of this, war; Union Building; and the selling of all our companies and utilities; is about money. Money you will not get any of. You will get instead a lower wage. While you costs of doing business and just making a living will increase! I hope you are ready for that, because that bell is truly ringing in the new dimensions of terror into your life!

Here is what is coming, as far as I can tell.

A “Police State”. You will see more law and courts and incarcerations.

A “Prison Industry”. We already have that! Many bases are converted to prisons, and new prisons are already waiting for you. They have little or no populations in them right now, but you just wait!

A Taxing Authority. Newly mandated taxes, fines, and levies, will be placed upon you, your possessions, your travel! All calculated and accounted for by satellite and chips! “You don’t have a Toll Road Sticker on your car? Don’t worry, we’ll bill you by sending the toll bill to your address using your cars tag.” See? That plan is in place already. And so is the “Chip” in your, all, cars and trucks.

A New Passport. You will have a new one soon. Even though the Act itself was turned down by Texas Voters, it was implemented, the buying of the forms, already by our Governor. Too bad you voted not to have a new “Drivers License I.D.”! But not to worry; I do it anyway! My Bad! Thing is; the new Drivers License will be multicolored to cull out those not allowed to travel interstate! Nor will some, depending upon codes, be allowed to cross into another “country”, like Mexico or Canada! They will have the ability to “cull” out trouble makers like you as well as our own United States Presidential Mandates. You do know that the new Drivers License is Federal, right?
A New Schooling System. Yeah, we need one! There is no reason for us to build millions of dollars worth of new school buildings, hire umpteen new teachers, who must be able to speak both Spanish and French, and purchase millions of millions of dollars of text books! All we need is a cheap Computer designated for teaching, and a satellite dish in outer space, and wham! We have a single teacher and a single online book and no building or busing! Will that come about? Not in your life-time! Because there will not be an buildings; buses; desks; computers; teachers; and thus you tax dollars will not go into the fat pockets of the fat politicos! Can’t have that! Besides, think of all the mixing and mingling of the children! How can they “assimilate” and make friends outside of their own “sphere of influence”? That would not make International One World Students of them! That would take us back to the “Stone Ages”!

You know? Back when children went to small schools in their communities? Where there was only one teacher? Where there was only one building? One salary? One tax? Back where all the children knew each other and there was only one “pecking order”? “Might makes right”! Remember those days? Well, too bad. None of your descendants will ever even approach that condition. You have a “One World Curriculum” now for your child to chew upon and to deride you with when at home. You just don’t pay attention to them right now. But one day, they, with the “well-fed” outlook upon life will be Parents, Workers, Taxpayers! Then, hopefully, they will be easier to “feed” and control than their parents and grandparents!

A LONG War. War that will last a long time. Oh! We are already into years in Iraq? Yeah, but that is not the hot war! That is only the “policing academy” where troops are taught how to deal with us when they get back home and become our paid Police and Sheriff Deputies. The “real war’ is going on right now, and has been since “day-one” in Afghanistan. Where the real “killing ground” is. Where the News Media isn’t! If that fails to cull out a few males and now females, so our populations can be brought under control, then a new war will begin somewhere.

A NEW Tax. One that will cost you plenty. Depending upon the “Carbon Footprint” of the vehicles you drive! That should bring in the Electric Auto quickly! A new tax based on what the “spy in the sky” can account for whenever you purchase privately, or take delivery of anything of value. Such as unregistered equipment. Nothing registered for an old lawnmower, or an old tractor. Nothing needed like a receipt when you pay someone cash to work at washing your car or mowing or painting. No college age kid will be left out! I promise you!

A new Military. Your children will be inducted. There will be a draft. And soon! Your child will be in the military for four years, all tole. He or She may get time to serve in this country in a volunteer way, making like a Peace Corp event. But that is going to be for the offspring of the “rich and famous”, not for our kids. Our kids will be trained to fight. By the Mexican, or Canadian, or the U.N., military command! Then they will have to go to foreign countries to be “peacekeepers”. If we start another war, they will be called upon to fight. If the populace in this country gets out of hand, they will be used to “Police” the American Citizens.

I once thought that was all bogus! Can you believe the naive and innocence on that level for a Veteran of Foreign War? But you see, perhaps as you are now, I hated what the Government was doing, but loved this country. My family has always fought for this country. Believing in this country instead of England. Choosing freedom instead of living under Governmental tyranny
! Now though I do believe in the Conspiratorial Prison Planet type of Events coming! I am a true believer in the “Truth” if you will. I belive if someone says something awful, forecasting evil events happening in this country, I don’t, and will not ever, believe them or the message! Not until I actually have the proof. Not until I see it for myself. But once my eyes are opened, and I see this crud happening, unbelievable as it is, I am able to believe it! I am able to accept it! And I am able to at least, old and crippled as I am, to give voice to the outrage of the Events, Tolling Horrible Events, that are consuming our way of life that our Ancestors fought, died, and won for us with their own blood, against their own Government! Yep, I’m a believer! I am.

I am no longer able to be astounded at any event. Let me make up a story to illustrate between what is “fact” and what is “perhaps fantasy”, if I can… For instance, if someone that is my friend visits my home and happens to say to me, “You know I am tired this week! We are building a new railroad through the Kiameche Mountains of Oklahoma.”

“Well, that’s part of your job, right? You should be getting used to that hard work by now.” I chuckled at his pain.

“Yeah, I should be, but you see, we are building it by hand! He looks seriously at me, “And that means no machinery! We level the roadbed by hand. As an old railroad crew we carry the cross-ties by hand! We carry the rails by hand!. Just as they did in the old days!”

“That’s both interesting and worrying.” I say. I am not too amazed by this. I mean, I have heard we are at War, you know? Besides, there may be a very good reason for not using machinery. Perhaps a unique ant or lizard is living in that area? Perhaps there is no oil or gas to get at?

“Well, that is being done. Don’t know why, either….” He muses, as he tips up another cold beer.

Warning Bells go off in my head! Is it to maintain the environment? Or is it more sinister? I wonder! Why are they building a new rail into the wilderness in the mountains of Oklahoma? Well, that is not too awesomely astounding today is it? Just interesting, not amazing. You see the Events that you are both missing and not believing? This, if it were a true story, is not a Conspiracy for some Nut to harp on. This would be “first person testimony” that things are not what they seem!

Perhaps the old story of “Hundreds of Railroad Boxcars filled with manacles welded-to-their-walls”, and the midnight to early morning AM radio show that was monitoring the “moved-without-light-or-signal”, and being; “escorted by Feds-in-black-vans-and-cars, in-order-to-prevent-those-with-ham-radios-from-following;” the train to its destination,” is not an open ended Conspiratorial Unbelievable Event now a day? But of course this is only a made up story to illustrate to you what could be going on right under your nose.

Now, where is my saved hit for the Grogy-map URL? And better yet, is it “Available for viewing?” Many are not, er, would not be, that is. If this was a true story, that is……..
