After much contemplation.....for those who care...... (which should be all living breathing humans!!) a conclusion.

Some thoughts on a few topics: not just this one:
To lower the amount of Greenhouse Gases that are supposedly causing so much havoc...........
~Read: Global Warming? Hot Air! now it's no doubt that the Industrial Revo. brought a lot of Smog but read it.
and be happy healthy friendly people:

It should go in affect at once:
All loans should have an interest rate around 1 to 2%.
All credit cards should have an interest rate around 4 to 8%
All taxes should be lowered --there are WAY to many to even begin shooting out a number......
(no wonder so many problems over the years.....Tea Party?)
Nobody really needs a new car.
Industry (Industrial Revolution) has gotten more people into trouble than out of.....
But the advancements!, they say........ We all like the over paid lawyer when we think we need
one, but a life of simplicity does not need much at all.
Stop listening to the Doctors...those who get kick-backs from Pharmaceutical companies.
So then, stop taking drugs--they are man-made.....Stop eating Crap, which is for some
reason, man-made...... Food, at least that which was somehow magically here for us,
more like created for us, to enjoy and be sustained by will aid in the cure and prevent
all the stuff you think you need drugs for.
~See: God's Pharmacy
~Watch: A Thousand Suns
And know that, Heart Burn/Indigestion/Acid Reflux can be medicated by mixing Apple Cider Vinegar with apple juice or water....or whatever. Not Antacids. Whats happening is your stomach
does not have enough acid to digest the food present.....so by drinking an Acid (Apple Cider Vinegar) your stomach's Acid level goes "up" to the right level and no more heart burn!! By taking an Antacid your stomach temporarily looses Acid.....and very quickly is comforted by a surge of Gastric Acids.
Your paying for something that is taking away Acid which forces the stomach to counter act and
flood the stomach with Acid......... So just drink a little Apple Cider Vinegar.
~Read: Natural cures "They" don't want you to know about, Kevin Trudeau
and don't believe everything Wikipedia tells you.
Funny, the food is man-made that people eat and get sick from (over time that is.....like drinking and smoking.....they kill you slowly so it's Okay!!) and then there are thousands of solutions to what ails you!! all of which costs lots of money and is man-made.......

Still don't think this world and some of the people on it have a problem with money that is limiting the majority?

How about free (which is not free) public school? Good for the kids, ehh? No.
Thus, after lowering the taxes and the loan interest rates and ceasing to depend on someone else for everything.....maybe just maybe the basics will look a little more appealing than the rat race
for.........money and only a little bit at that. By the basics I mean: Family, Friends, Happiness, Giving, Loving, Creating, Dreaming, Laughing, Crying (tears of joy!), and and have you ever seen the stars? Or heard a song that stopped you in your tracks? A sunrise? Walked in the woods alone?
~Watch: A Thousand Suns
~Read: Four Centuries of American Education

We don't need 700 million lights on (at night) all over the cities......the stars look a lot better!!
Jobs are needed, Yes, but they are needed per your amount of debt. A Vocation is different than a job!
Classical music - MPR is paid for by the people and some companies but mainly the people......
my point.....great things cost money, that which is free has to many agendas attached to it in some way.
Kids don't need 6 thousand toys.....most of them like the box the dang toy came in anyways!
Consumerism is way out of control.
Everyone should know how to make/start a fire.
There has to be a solution to Africa's and Mexico's dependency on Charcoal for cooking/heating.
And China's dependency on Charcoal to heat their homes before "China" turns their heat on.......
Charcoal releases Mercury.........deadliest element next to Plutonium.

I am sure there is more......one could mention.
Ohh, and the US's military........too big. It costs way to much money.
Put some of that money toward something of more benefit to All.

Think about what you really NEED. Lets all join together and LIVE much simpler!!
Lets all LOVE each other too for our sake and your's and the earth's!

With lots of Love,
Jeremy

Greenhouse Gases, Global Warming.........and Cooling!

As this is a important issue for many reasons, I do wish We continue learning!
Even though none of us are in Copenhagen....and don't know anyone there – to personally influence.....The truth is good know!

Definitely watch this video if you have not already:

Notice how Agra calls their movement a "Green" movement - It's not green at all.......
and then notice the amazing increase in crop yields when using organic agriculture methods.

As for the Global Warming business:

Agree or Delete

Now this one is pretty interesting..... Really makes one think. Since this was the greatest country, territory, place of dwelling, mass of land..........because of the freedom so closely guarded and protected. It seems rather strange to tear it all down and go the way of the Romans.......No I have never read the Fall of the Roman Empire. But I do know that as we Unite in a physical/Outward way we hopefully will go on knowing and acknowledging our connection deep within. For Religion will have to subside but Law basic Law will never subside.

DID YOU KNOW?
As you walk up the steps to the
building which houses the U.S Supreme Court
you can see near the top of the building a row
of the world's law givers and each one is
facing one in the middle who is facing forward
with a full frontal view .. it is Moses and he
is holding the Ten Commandments!




.
DID YOU KNOW?

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the
Two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments
Engraved on each lower portion of each door.




DID YOU KNOW?



As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see
The wall, right above where the Supreme Court
judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!








DID YOU KNOW?





There are Bible verses etched in stone all
over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in
Washington , D.C.





DID YOU KNOW?




James Madison, the fourth president, known as
'The Father of Our Constitution' made the
following statement:



' We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to
the Ten Commandments of God.'



DID YOU KNOW?






Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding
Father of our country said:


'It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ'.



DID YOU KNOW?



Every session of Congress begins with a prayer
by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid
by the taxpayer since 1777.



DID YOU KNOW?




Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the
Constitution were members of the established
orthodox churches in the colonies.


DID YOU KNOW?

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would
overstep their authority and instead of
interpreting the law would begin making law
an oligarchy



the rule of few over many.


DID YOU KNOW?



The very first Supreme Court Justice, John
Jay, said:






'Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers.'



How then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?


Lets put it around the world and let the world
see and remember what this great country was
built on.




I was asked to send this on if I agreed or
delete if I didn't. Now it is your turn...

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore, it is very hard to understand
why there is such a mess about having the Ten
Commandments on display or 'In God We Trust'
on our money and having God in the Pledge of
Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other
14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!

A 24 year old's response/perceptive to/on the ACLU, Government, Life.........

Get a life........okay seriously. Now I enjoy music, art, movies from all over the world - I have more World music than anyone I know and I bet anyone you know......I love culture - Individuality at it's culmination = Culture.

As of today lets all start migrating to Asia! That seems like a great place to go; I've heard so many good things about it. The freedom and liberty those people get to live with.....I am left wanting. And there are many other great things (great simple freedoms) about this this Asia. Ohh the wonderful life our children will have..... So we leave at once!
A few years go by......
Man I really don't like this Buddha character. And the way dress....blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And so the Buddha a sacred symbol is destroyed. All falls to pieces. The tension grows deeper and deeper. Wars break out, many die. For what?
~Okay so, simple, left out a lot of details and issues but you get the idea.......I hope.

This country was founded on what? One of biggest was that which we hold to be self evident, that all men were created equal. Religious freedom was something they wanted. So people want it today, no-doubt. Islam is destroying Europe as we speak and has been for a long time. They are doing the here. Muslim's feel the same way about Christian's as Christian's do about Muslim's – a threat. Convert or go to Hell. I do not support organized Religion, it causes way to problems. But, I do enjoy community and loving people (where ever they come from). This business of destroying the World War I memorial crosses is out of line. They are far from "Patriotic", and that action alone says only of their absolute stupidity, cruelty.

You can not force people into a unity. You can not sue people and take away their religious freedoms while supporting all the others – Big contradiction. It is belief system that is the scary part – look at child - a new, clean slate (soon to be indoctrinated with all kinds of BS, much which does not ring true to Love). Destroying what people hold close to their heart, that which is sacred only will draw people closer to their original belief system. Not together. Turning things upside down is no way to win unity. You turn people against each other. Wars begin, they begin in the mind, and then they get ugly.

Jesus as many like to use as an example for Love, Help, Healing..........one who cared for the least of these..... He did help many so the story goes, but only helped people who were ready and willing to help themselves and cease to be a worthless waste of bones. The average person likes to go to work, come home, go on few vacations, see the sights.....and go home and repeat. They don't like change much.......look at the amount of Southerns who still discriminate against Black people. People take the system for granted (which is what "they" want.....Control. Liberty comes in many shades so does White.......You see the minds job is to keep the body alive. It has no other job. We all have a innate desire to LIVE at whatever cost. Or we can be convinced through years of persistent indoctrination that it's okay to strap a bunch of bombs to ourselves, kill a bunch of innocent people all to plow the path for our parents. Ohh and the virgins...

Using force, turning the truth upside down (for someones benefit), using the government in ways it should not be used can only last so long. If the Governmental system disappeared tomorrow all would fall apart. No?

No Religion is a lot safer than a Religion. Whatever does not bring unity for all IN THE BASIC OF NEEDS is wrong. The system is wrong because without it all would fall apart. People are forgetting how to survive, people are forgetting the basics and are slowly becoming bogged (With the arguing and debating of stupid issues that are far from important) down with all the BS from the ACLU and many other organizations. The cities that are so dirty, full of smog (and no plant life......Watch the movie Thousand Suns on my blog) are safe-havens for those who are the least .....they suck on teat of the government which is from the people for the people. And that from the people for the people has been sadly taken out of context and been demoralized.

The truth is far simpler than all believe and want to believe (because there something more....I mean come on). What the masses want, more or less what they have been indoctrinated to want is not what they need.
The Government, FDA, EPA, Pharmaceutical industry, Illegal drug industry, alcohol industry, tobacco industry, Technological industry (which is the most distracting at the moment), Mafia run industries (which is like deepness of Religion)..............you could go on........are all just that industries that pay well.

So again it's the belief system that gets in the way just like words. Love does prevail always - all ways, look at all the great Minds down through the ages - It was All so simple, It is All so simple. The WAY is simple, the way is Unconditional Love. Not systems, man-made Laws or Rules. Those Laws and Rules are all so pathetic to the Ultimate Law(s).

So before any replies watch the Thousand Suns Video, watch the movies: Kate & Leopold, Peaceful Warrior, Sword Fish, Blade Runner, Logan's Run, Babel, Brick Lane, Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance,Powaqqatsi: Life in transformation, Naqoyqatsi: Life as war, Tristan & Isolde, Watchmen, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and the Matrix Trilogy. Listen to Yanni and Classical music. Listen to Adiemus' song Adiemus.

All leading to the idea that Less is More. That which leads to Unity and Well-being is Right and that which disunites is Wrong.

Love is All there is. And the idea of Love is shaped in many ways - the daughter of an abusive father has twisted view of Love....and so on. So than it is Be transformed be the Renewing of your Mind. Now one may think this goes against what I just stated about Love but it does not: This business of Trying the people who (supposedly....) caused/committed/had something to do with the 911 attacks need hanged for all to see. If don't think so, could doing what they did? Probably not, so get the point. Being able to get away with such an unfathomable thing as Bombing or Murdering a mass amount of people (which is so far from Love.......) makes almost easy and okay for others to do it. Sesame Street was studied largely before it aired but even more after it aired for some time. Kids were repeating the actions and likeness of the characters. So that is a basis for the effects of Media and Games Or rather indoctrination by.... There is also the idea that one could and is living vicariously through the Media and Games - which could be a good thing in a way but absolutely robbing in another.

Anyway, Life is simple why do we make so complicated?

Love, Unity and Peace,
Merry Christmas Or wait was it Hanukkah, or Ashura that I grew up celebrating/observing?
Jeremy

By the way searching day in and day out for Truth does not constitute the idea of Atheism. What are you searching for?

Aired: December 25, 2007 on Channel 4 Duration: 1:40:53 Info: Theologian Dr Robert Beckford investigates amazing parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of them predating Christianity by thousands of years. The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous birth and visited by wise men bearing gifts. Beckford attempts to unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story across the world and asks which is the real one. http://atheistmedia.blogspot.com

A Thousand Suns explores Food, Ecology and Religion in the 21st Century.

A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley and the unique worldview held by the people of the region. This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.

The pilot - Captain Gary Faust - had earlier ejected from the aircraft at 15,000 feet when it entered a flat spin. Amazingly, the un-piloted aircraft then recovered, to make a gentle “belly-up” landing…

So this is what Free Enterprise does to a part of the system.........

Obviously Health/Health Care is an important issue. It's a near & dear issue. So, since it is such, it's even easier (than a lot of the other issues that stump us) for "them" take advantage of you and me with.
Think about it, we go to the experts, the learned, the professionals and those in that/any field we no nothing about. And we/most of us are constantly influenced by people, forces, means that sneak up on us........ Why do they sneak up on us? Because-hard to admit-, we are asleep at the wheel-the wheel of life.
Why do think all the entertainment? and God knows I could go on about all the things that are "made" to keep us asleep at wheel. To, keep us paying those dozens of different taxes, keep us eating toxic crap so to get sick and end up needing "OUR" drugs.
Anyhow, I could on.

The End of the World? Dec. 21, 2012............

In 2012, a rare and possibly Earth-shattering astrological alignment is due to occur that will precipitate a cataclysmic event. Whatever is in store -- a massive cosmic collision, a global environmental disaster, an Armageddon-like religious showdown, or a more subtle transformation -- there have been multiple predictions from different times and cultures that December 21, 2012 will mark a major shift in the history of our planet.

NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 takes a detailed investigation of this chilling prophecy. This explosive two-hour sequel picks up where The Lost Book of Nostradamus left off. NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 seeks answers to key critical questions that may loom in just four years: Is there any modern scientific proof that such an alignment will indeed happen? Is any other compelling evidence throughout history that 2012 will be a year of unprecedented, even deadly, upheaval?

There is no disputing that we are a planet in crisis, and that there is a growing public obsession with 2012. But there is no cogent distinction between the sobering facts and hysterical fiction. What, if any, is the scientific ballast that substantiates the fears? NOSTRADAMUS: 2012 will look for the parallels between the nightmarish daily headlines and the 2012 prophecies from Nostradamus and others.

From the mystical realms of the Guatemalan jungles to the high-tech corridors of NASA; from the Hopi elders and Mayan shaman to the most respected thinkers of the modern age; from the symbology of the ancient pyramids in Mexico and Egypt to that of the gothic cathedrals and monuments of Europe -- the 2012 doomsday warning will be cast in a frighteningly modern context. December 21, 2012 is bearing down on us with alarming speed - and whether or not we are able to collectively heed the warnings and affect a course to avert disaster may be the defining moment of the modern age.

9 Best Eco Apocalyptic Science Fiction Films of All Time


by Mairi Beautyman, Berlin, Germany
There's nothing like a vision of a world gone to hell to get the point across.
Movies--especially fantastic movies--have the power to hit messages home with people around the world, regardless of class, race, or socio-economic background. In these nine post-apocalyptic movies (and one tv episode), ranging from the 1960's until next month (one's not released yet) the death destruction, and general bleak futuristic visions are all based on environmental disasters. A note on the selection process: Don't expect to see "Waterworld". Bombs, even with savvy green messages, didn't make the cut. Disagree or think I missed something? Fire away in the comments. Oh, and this list is filled with spoilers.

1. The Matrix Trilogy


Chances are you've seen at least one of these totally original cyberpunk flicks. So why do sentient machines trap humans in the Oscar-winning "Matrix series"? It's a familiar problem to us: an energy shortage. At first, the sentient machines were quite green by TreeHugger standards, tapping solar power. But when they tried to take over the world, the humans fought back by blocking the sun with dark clouds. Then the machines decided the humans could be the power..and developed a system, also quite green, to take energy from humanity's heat and brain's electrical activity. Unfortunately, that left humans living a false reality inside of the Matrix.

2. Children of Men

Nominated for three Academy Awards, Children of Men takes place in a future where no children have been born for the last 18 years. While it is not totally clear why there are no pregnancies, one of the theories presented by character Jasper Palmer (Michael Caine) is pollution, and a few scenes point to this. In one shot, small motorized vehicles that look like tuk-tuks, more common in Asia, are seen emitting heavy exhaust fumes on the streets of London. In another, the landscape is interrupted by several smoke stacks, apparently from factories. The subdued nature of this film, and the quietly heroic Theo Faron (the smoldering Clive Owen) make it particularly powerful.

3. Blade Runner


Androids might have human qualities, and Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford of chest-waxing fame) might be a replicant (much debated). Either way, the cult classic "Blade Runner" displays a dark future in which humanity is struggling in a bleak, overpopulated industrial world. While like in "Children of Men," it is not specifically clear what changed the landscape for the worse, pollution and global warming are suggested and most animals are extinct (one of the first to go was the owl).

4. The Mad Max Trilogy


Fuel is scarce in the world of "Mad Max," and in particular in "Mad Max 2" and "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," has led to the general destruction of society. Governments collapse, and anarchy reigns, with the major forces being two warrior tribes fighting over oil, leaving massive casualties in their wake. It's a dog-eat-dog kind of world, and it seems only Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson, who's down with rubber recycling) is there to fight the bad guys.

5. Logan's Run


This 1976 film is introduced with the statement, "sometime in the 23rd century...the survivors of war, over population and pollution are living in a great doomed city, sealed away from the forgotten world outside. Here, in an ecologically balanced world, mankind lives only for pleasure, freed by the servo-mechanisms which provide everything." But the perfect society in "Logan's Run" has one problem: Population is strictly controlled, and citizens are killed off in a bizarre computer-controlled ritual at the age of 30. If you can't deal with the 1970's special effects, tune into the remake, scheduled to be released in 2010.

6. Soylent Green


What happens when pollution and the greenhouse effect kills the oceans, the animals, and just about anything green? Well strawberry jam costs $150 a jar (by 1979 standards, that is one pricey jar of preserves) and you start eating people, naturally.
In "Soylent Green," winner of the Nebula Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film in 1973, the main problems are overpopulation and no food. The population is forced to consist on a diet entirely of "high energy vegetable concentrates Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow," and the "new delicious Soylent Green, the miracle food of high-energy plankton, gathered from the oceans of the world." Turns out it's not plankton, kids. Classic scenes are when New York City police detective Robert Thorn (Charlton Heston) steps over dozens of people each time he climbs the stairs to his apartment, and a feast that contains a bunch of sad-looking vegetables and strip of meat. Cigarettes are absurdly expensive: "You know if I had the money, I'd smoke, two-three of these every day!" says Thorn. It's also interesting to note Thorn powers his apartment with a stationary bike and director Richard Fleischer clearly didn't think phones and TVs would be smaller in the future.

7. WALL-E


There's nothing like a trash-collecting robot looking for love to strike you right in the heart. In the computer-animated, Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning "WALL-E," garbage covers the earth and humans (all comically obese and unable to move without hovering machines) are on an extended vacation in space until the earth is deemed habitable again. WALL-E, who is powered by solar power and fixes himself with recycled parts, saves the day when he gives a living plant to EVE, a robot that suddenly shows up looking for life on earth.

8. The Twilight Zone: Midnight Sun


Turn your speakers down if your going to watch the video!!
While not a movie, this 1961 "Twilight Zone" episode makes this list for being so ahead of its time, released before the world was truly aware of global warming or climate change. In "Midnight Sun," (watch the whole episode here), the scene opens with the explanation "even at midnight it is high noon, the hottest day in history..." Norma and Mrs. Bronson are the only people left in their apartment building in New York: The whole population has deserted the city in search of cooler temperatures, and the world is literally cooking under the heat. But then, in a dramatic plot twist, Norma wakes up to find the whole world about to freeze under plummeting temperatures.

9. The Road


Although not scheduled for release until November 25, "The Road" makes this list because if it is even half as good as the book it is based on, the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, we have something to look forward to. Critics--including Esquire's Tom Chiarella--are already giving the film raving reviews. Following a father and son's (Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee) journey over a post-apocalyptic landscape, the book attracted global attention, and British environmental campaigner George Monbiot proclaimed "It could be the most important environmental book ever." Both the movie and the book are about survival after an unexplained apocalypse: Nearly all of mankind appears to be dead, the air is polluted, and plants don't grow.

Honorable Mention in the Animation Category: 9


While "9," produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, didn't quite make the cut due to mixed reviews and its 56 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, visually it is amazing to watch. Once again, humanity has killed itself--this time down to the last man. In order to let humanity live on, a scientist puts his soul in nine ragdolls, or "stitchpunks."

And so they were:
1. The Matrix Trilogy
2. Children of Men
3. Blade Runner

4. The Mad Max Trilogy

5. Logan's Run

6. Soylent Green

7. WALL-E

8. The Twilight Zone: Midnight Sun

9. The Road


Honorable Mention in the Animation Category: 9
by Mairi Beautyman, Berlin, Germany
Should have been in the list-maybe not Apocalyptic but awesome Sci-Fi flicks-I think:
1. The Fifth Element
2. Tron
3. THX 1138
4. The Black Hole
5. Aeon Flux
6. Chronicles of Riddick
7. Men in Black
8. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
9. Ghost in the Shell
10.Appleseed
11.2001: A Space Odyssey

Staying Razor Sharp When Starting Your Home Business

5 Tips For Staying Razor Sharp When Starting Your Home Business Enterprise

So, you've decided to start a home-based business?

Good for you!

-You've just joined the ranks of 79 million North Americans who are expected to start their own home based business in the next 3 to 5 years according to Forbes Magazine.
-You may be juggling a full time job, a part time job and family life. You know that there are many things you need to do in order to successfully start your business and work from home.
-Don't let anyone fool you into thinking its going to be easy. It can be simple but it won't be easy. If it were easy everyone would be rich working from home.

How are you going to fit your business project into your daily commitments?

It's easy to become overwhelmed and lose focus. Losing focus will cause you to take no action. Action is essential to moving on from where you are now, to where you want to go.

Here are 5 critical tips for staying focused and razor sharp when starting your home business enterprise...

1. Break It Down:

If you have a large task to tackle, it is always easier when you break it down into smaller components. You'll find it easier to focus because you won't feel as overwhelmed. For example, 'Register a business name' can be broken down into: 'Think of five business name ideas', 'Find out how to register a business name', 'Get registration form' and so on.

2. Keep A 'To Do' List:

Once you've broken down major tasks into smaller ones, make and keep a 'to do' list. Always keep a note pad and pen with you so that you can jot down any new ideas as they arise.

3. Schedule Your Time:

Every evening, decide on three to five tasks on your 'to do' list that you wish to accomplish the following day. Stay focused on these tasks and only move on to the next tasks on your list once these have been completed.

4. Set Goals:

This is critical. There is nothing that will keep you more focused than setting goals and writing out your goals. Visualize exactly where you want to be in a month, six months and a year.

In a month's time, do you want to have registered a business name and have a fully functional home office set up? In three months time, how many clients or team members do you want? How much revenue do you want to generate in a six month's time?

5. Say No:

Be assertive and carve out more time for your home business. Saying ‘no' to that extra demand by your boss every once in a while can get you home one hour earlier a couple of days a week.

How about cutting back on the amount of housework that you do? How about watching less TV? Thats a BIG time zapper. Imagine how you could channel that extra time into your home business enterprise...

If you put these 5 tips into practice, you'll definitely find it easier to focus and stay razor sharp so you can achieve your ultimate goal of working from home and putting more LifeStyle back in your life.

P.S. Pay particular attention to Tip # 3 above. As a Home Business Owner and Entrepreneur, once you gain control of your time you will eventually have all the time you will ever need...

Carbon-14, Interesting

Job 28:16

~This is interesting no matter who you are or what you believe:

“It [wisdom] cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.”

Because half of the radioactive carbon-14 in anything decays to nonradioactive material in 5,730 years, things that are supposedly millions of years old cannot possibly have any. At least that's what evolutionary scientists always thought.

On the other hand, scientists who believe in a young creation, realized that nothing that has carbon in it should be too old to date. So they decided to see what results they would get dating coal and oil, which are supposed to be tens to hundreds of millions of years old.

Ten coal samples that were supposedly 34 to 311 million years old were tested. All 10 samples contained traces of carbon-14. Then they tested diamonds, which are supposed to be at least a billion years old. Again, they found carbon-14 in every sample tested. Keep in mind that they found carbon-14 in every coal, oil and diamond sample they tested. Evolutionary theory says that not one of these samples could possibly have carbon-14! Clearly, evolutionary claims about the ancient ages of these substances have scientifically and conclusively been proven wrong.
