Volume 9 — Issue 3 — January 20, 2009
Published every Tuesday
Hi, readers . . . and welcome! First, I'd like to wish a most happy and blessed birthday today to my now 88-year-old Mom . . . and many more!
Then, I'd like to tell all of you about this: Put your car keys beside your bed at night! Why?
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
Think about it! You have a security alarm system that requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the intruder won't stick around . . . and after a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. Maybe it could save your life.
So hope you enjoy the rest of this issue!

Results of last issue's contest, when the question was — What is the hottest chili pepper in the world?
The answer — According to ScienceDaily (October 28, 2007), researchers at New Mexico State University gave that distinction to the Bhut Jolokia, a variety of chile pepper originating in Assam, India; it has earned Guiness World Records' recognition as the world's hottest chile pepper by blasting past the previous champion, Red Savina. See William Petersen's offer above.

A Healthier You
Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy . . . do I have news for you!
This is not just any old health tip . . . it is a completely new method of healing (at least, it is for me!).
But I assure you that, if you have not seen it before, it will blow you away—especially if you have any back problems, joint problems, injuries, anything out of place, curvatures (including scoliosis) . . . even bunions! :-)
After you finish reading today's issue (not before! :-), get yourself on over to http://quantumtouch.com. First thing to do after you get there (because this is the kind of site that you can spend hours on) is to listen to Richard's lecture, and be sure you have about an hour and a half before you start listening. But I'm here to tell you that it is worth every minute!
This is totally fascinating stuff, folks. I have ordered the book and can hardly wait to get it. But there are also seminars, etc. available. Maybe you are fortunate enough to be in an area where these are offered.
Let me know how you do, if you get results, what they are, etc., and I'll be glad to publish them right here in the future.
Minorities —
We need to show more sympathy for these people.
* They travel miles in the heat.
* They risk their lives crossing a border.
* They don't get paid enough wages.
* They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do.
* They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language.
* They rarely see their families, and they face adversity
all day—every day.
I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans—I'm talking about our troops! Doesn't it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops, and are even threatening to defund them?

Feature Article
"Because They Hate"
The title is a book by Brigitte Gabriel, the President and founder of the American Congress for Truth.
The full title of her book is "Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America." She is a frequent guest on talk shows. This is what just a couple of hosts had to say, "What you are going to hear is staggering. It’s so important that every Jew and non-Jew understands and hears what Brigitte Gabriel has to say." (Charles Bernhaut, co-host "Israel Update" NYC)
And another:
"Rarely in my career, which extends to almost three decades now, have I had so much overwhelming response to any particular guest as we did to Brigitte Gabriel." (Toni Macrini, WNIS Norfolk, Virginia)
After the tragedy of September 11, 2001, Ms. Gabriel founded http://AmericanCongressforTruth.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating millions of uninformed Americans about the threat of radical Islam to world peace and national security. Born in Lebanon, and herself a victim of the terrorism that she now fights passionately, she speaks four languages—Arabic, French, English and Hebrew.
Some of the facts she brings out in her shocking book:
1 — Hamas is the largest terrorist organization on U.S. soil. It is expressly written into their charter to destroy all do-good organizations, such as B'nai Brith, Freemasons, Optimists, Lions Clubs, etc.
2 — Bin Laden is one of 53 children and has 27 of his own. Muslims marry multiple times and produce many children in order to have as many votes as possible.
3 — Even though all Muslims may not be active terrorists, even in this free country, they refuse to protect or condemn the actions of those who are active.
4 — Muslims know everything about each other in all the Muslim communities in the U.S.
5 — There are more Muslim clubs in the U.S. than those of Democrats and Republicans combined.
One review: "Brigitte Gabriel eloquently reminds America what is truly at stake in this struggle against terrorism: our families, our way of life, and our hopes. Ms. Gabriel's personal account is riveting, compelling, and spellbinding. This is a must-read for the entire American public . . . This book contains monumental revelations that will shock and disturb you. But it is also a story of an indomitable spirit—Brigitte's—that will move you." Steve Emerson, Executive Director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism and author of "American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us."
Readers, burying your head in the sand is not going to make this situation go away. Get on over to Brigitte's website now and learn how you can help. Again, it is http://AmericanCongressforTruth.org.
Fill the blanks: "And I will give them one _____, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the ____ heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of _____:"
1 — spirit, dead, life
2 — heart, stony, flesh
3 — song, hollow, strength
4 — life, bloody, stone

Makes Sense . . .
A teacher asked her students to draw a picture of
their favorite Old Testament story, and as she moved
around the class, she saw there were many wonderful
drawings being done. Then she came across Johnny
who had drawn a man driving an old car. In the back
seat were two passengers, both scantily dressed.
"It's a lovely picture," said the teacher, "but which
story does it tell?"
Johnny seemed surprised at the question. "Well," he
exclaimed, "doesn't it say in the Bible that God drove
Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden? And that's
a Plymouth Fury just like Grampa got in his yard!"
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

Today's English Lesson
Seeing the same elementary mistakes over and over again has prompted this publisher to write an English lesson each issue. Look for some of these lessons to be repeated, because the mistakes are!
Just saw this on a "professional" website!
The item under discussion was the human "palate," but the ignorant writer called it a "pallet."
Do you know what a "pallet" is? It is a tool used by potters, or it can mean a flat platform used for storage or transportation of goods in a warehouse, and it also can refer to a mechanical device.
A "palate" is, of course, part of the human mouth and can also be used to refer to "taste."

Internet Hints & Tips
Tips for Viral Marketing
by Luella May
After marketing on the internet for quite some time, through the school of hard knocks, I have learned many valuable lessons. I would like to share these with you, as it may save you a lot of heartache and disappointment.
If you have to pay any money to get into any kind of business, my advice would be, don't do it. If you choose to go this route, be very wary and carefully study what you are getting into, as chances are you will be the one l.o.s.i.n.g money. There are some businesses that are worthwhile but they are very few and far between. Off the top of my head, I cannot name one. Too many people are lured into an internet business by a get r.i.c.h. quick scheme. Instead, you might find yourself getting poor even quicker.
A newbie to the world of the internet must not be discouraged. It takes time to research, find a good business, or even find your own niche. I would advise you to take your time. Never jump into anything.
The light of friendship is like the light of phosphorus, seen plainest when all around it is dark.

How to Bring in Big Bucks from Funny Videos
You can easily make funny video websites, and then profit from them nicely. Many people have done it and are actually making their living off it. Here's how to make funny video websites and generate those bucks:
1 — Getting a site.
The first thing to making a funny video website is choosing a good name. Have some fun trying to think up catchy names for your website. A catchy, unique, and memorable name is key not only to getting traffic, but maintaining it.
2 — Getting the videos.
You can easily lift videos from other popular video sites. But there are also sites that allow you access to many of the popular funny videos which you can use. Many sites share videos with one another as well. So getting the videos to supply for your funny video website is relative easy.
3 — Bringing in the Bucks.
Making the bucks from your site is going to consist of different forms of income streams—from click-on ads, banner advertising, and actual products, which you can sell on your site and from which you receive heavy commissions.
Set up accounts at Google and Yahoo for click-on ads, and find Internet products, which will coincide with the type of videos you'll be showing. Many online products will have programs for webmasters which you can sign up for and immediately start promoting products on your site.
Once your site develops traffic, you can start to hit up larger businesses for banner ads, which can pay very well. The combination of different income streams will bring in a steady income flow as long as your traffic is ramped up.
4 — Putting your site together.
There are specific programs you can get to build sites. They will take the headache of "coding" away and have you setting up your site quickly and fairly easily. A good "make video website" book or manual will show you exactly what needs to be done and provide inside access to sources, which can make things thousands of times easier. Search it out and see!

Answer to Bible trivia:
2 — heart, stony, flesh is correct.
See Ezekiel 11:19
Inspiration
"Footprints" . . . a New Version
Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace.
But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns.
For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord's, soon paralleling His consistently. You and Jesus are walking as true friends!
This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens: Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus' are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones; you and Jesus are becoming one.
This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger. Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints. They have become one.
This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back. This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints. You are amazed and shocked.
Your dream ends. Now you pray: "Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You."
"That is correct."
"And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely."
"Very good . . . you have understood everything so far."
When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way."
"Precisely."
"So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first."
There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice.
"You didn't know? It was then that we danced!"
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes 3:1,4
