Well it is hard to make a decision sometimes when you feel pulled on a few different directions at the same time. Meeting new people is certianly great except when you have to explain how you do a certian task or project and how it all fits intoy way of doing life. Sometimes it is frustrating to fail at having someone else reach hopefully the same conclusion as I have done. There is allways going to be a difference by two persons being different ages but aside from that it is still a daily challenge to just sometimes make any agreement work at all. I really think the older you get the more set in your ways you become and the less you likealing changes in ones life. Yes that might seem cynical but age unfortu
ately does make a difference. I have written many articles over the years about how people do a bout face when meeting Jesus christ and accepting the bible principles into ones life. The sad part is that it usually takes a tragic personal event toake that conversion to Christian faith even if the person had a different viewpoint early in childhood years. Change sure is a funny thing to grasp sometimes in life. I recall many times in my life where change was not for the better of me but then you learn as you age to accept the bitter things as well as the good too in life. This is true of anyone living on earth and seeing a new mellenium unfold as of the time frame that we are in beig the 21st century.

Good Sumaritins Give Starving Puppy A New Life And Love!!!
PROVIDENCE — Michelle Desrosiers has seen many things while driving her dump truck for the Department of Transportation, but she probably won’t forget what an inmate she was working with found on the railroad tracks. Willie On Monday, Desrosiers was working with minimum-security inmates at the Adult Correctional Institutions who were picking up trash along Route 95. As she drove her dump truck northbound near the Eddy Street overpass, an inmate called out to her. There was a tiny dog walking along the railroad tracks, Desrosiers recalled Thursday. When he retrieved the puppy and brought it to Desrosiers, she could not believe her eyes. Nearly every bone in the Chihuahua puppy’s spine was visible. “He was just a skinny bag of bones. I couldn’t believe he that he could actually walk. When the inmate picked him up, the puppy was so content that someone had finally rescued him,” Desrosiers said. Just minutes after the inmate had taken the puppy off the railroad track the train came through, Desrosiers said.
“They should call him Lucky because he got saved twice,” she said. Desrosiers took him to the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, but not before the inmates offered the starving pup some water, which he did not take. He did accept tiny pieces of bologna inmates offered him from their lunch. Dr. E.J. Finocchio, head of the RISPCA, said the puppy weighed 2.3 pounds, about half the weight of a Chihuahua. Finocchio said the puppy is critically ill. Workers named the pup Willie, for Box Car Willie, an American country music singer, because he was found on the railroad tracks. Finocchio sent the pup to the Dighton-Rehoboth Animal Hospital in North Dighton, Mass., where he is being treated and has gained five ounces. Finocchio said Willie is reported to be severely emaciated, dehydrated, anemic and infested with fleas.
Finocchio said the puppy is slowly regaining his appetite and that his recovery will require a lot of care and veterinary costs, which are being covered by the Marvin Fund. Because of the puppy’s severe condition, Finocchio could not say if he would survive. “He deserves a second chance,” he said.

Patrick Swayse Dies Today At Age 57
LOS ANGELES – Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," his publicist, Annett Wolf, said in a statement Monday evening. Swayze died in Los Angeles, Wolf said, but she declined to give further details.
Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer. He kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot.
Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. The show drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.
When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that. Swayze acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.
"I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."
C. Thomas Howell, who costarred with Swayze in "The Outsiders," "Grandview U.S.A." and "Red Dawn," said: "I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older 'Outsiders' brother.
Other celebrities used Twitter to express condolences, and "Dirty Dancing" was the top trending topic for a while Monday night, trailed by several other Swayze films.
Ashton Kutcher -- whose wife, Demi Moore, costarred with Swayze in "Ghost" -- wrote: "RIP P Swayze." Kutcher also linked to a YouTube clip of the actor poking fun at himself in a classic "Saturday Night Live" sketch, in which he played a wannabe Chippendales dancer alongside the corpulent -- and frighteningly shirtless -- Chris Farley.
Larry King wrote: "Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor & a terrific guy. He put his heart in everything. He was an extraordinary fighter in his battle w Cancer." King added that he'd do a tribute to Swayze on his CNN program on Tuesday night.
A three-time Golden Globe nominee, Swayze became a star with his performance as the misunderstood bad boy Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing." As the son of a choreographer who began his career in musical theater, he seemed a natural to play the role.
A coming-of-age romance starring Jennifer Grey as an idealistic young woman on vacation with her family and Swayze as the Catskills resort's sexy (and much older) dance instructor, the film made great use of both his grace on his feet and his muscular physique.
It became an international phenomenon in the summer of 1987, spawning albums, an Oscar-winning hit song in "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," stage productions and a sequel, 2004's "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," in which he made a cameo.
Swayze performed and co-wrote a song on the soundtrack, the ballad "She's Like the Wind," inspired by his wife, Lisa Niemi. The film also gave him the chance to utter the now-classic line, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
Swayze followed that up with the 1989 action flick "Road House," in which he played a bouncer at a rowdy bar. But it was his performance in 1990's "Ghost" that showed his vulnerable, sensitive side. He starred as a murdered man trying to communicate with his fiancee (Moore) -- with great frustration and longing -- through a psychic played by Whoopi Goldberg.
Swayze said at the time that he fought for the role of Sam Wheat (director Jerry Zucker wanted Kevin Kline) but once he went in for an audition and read six scenes, he got it.
Why did he want the part so badly? "It made me cry four or five times," he said of Bruce Joel Rubin's Oscar-winning script in an AP interview.
"Ghost" provided yet another indelible musical moment: Swayze and Moore sensually molding pottery together to the strains of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody." It also earned a best-picture nomination and a supporting-actress Oscar for Goldberg, who said she wouldn't have won if it weren't for Swayze.
"When I won my Academy Award, the only person I really thanked was Patrick," Goldberg said in March 2008 on the ABC daytime talk show "The View."
Swayze himself earned three Golden Globe nominations, for "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost" and 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," which further allowed him to toy with his masculine image. The role called for him to play a drag queen on a cross-country road trip alongside Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo.
His heartthrob status almost kept him from being considered for the role of Vida Boheme.
"I couldn't get seen on it because everyone viewed me as terminally heterosexually masculine-macho then. But he transformed himself so completely that when his screen test was sent to Steven Spielberg, whose Amblin pictures produced "To Wong Foo," Spielberg didn't recognize him.
Among his earlier films, Swayze was part of the star-studded lineup of up-and-comers in Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," alongside Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez and Diane Lane.
Other '80s films included "Red Dawn," "Grandview U.S.A." (for which he also provided choreography) and "Youngblood," once more with Lowe, as Canadian hockey teammates.
In the '90s, he made such eclectic films as "Point Break" (1991), in which he played the leader of a band of bank-robbing surfers, and the family Western "Tall Tale" (1995), in which he starred as Pecos Bill. He appeared on the cover of People magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991, but his career tapered off toward the end of the 1990s, when he also had a stay in rehab for alcohol abuse. In 2001, he appeared in the cult favorite "Donnie Darko," and in 2003 he returned to the New York stage with "Chicago"; 2006 found him in the musical "Guys and Dolls" in London.
Swayze was born in 1952 in Houston, the son of Jesse Swayze and choreographer Patsy Swayze, whose films include "Urban Cowboy."
He played football but also was drawn to dance and theater, performing with the Feld, Joffrey and Harkness Ballets and appearing on Broadway as Danny Zuko in "Grease." But he turned to acting in 1978 after a series of injuries.
Within a couple years of moving to Los Angeles, he made his debut in the roller-disco movie "Skatetown, U.S.A." The eclectic cast included Scott Baio, Flip Wilson, Maureen McCormack and Billy Barty.
Off-screen, he was an avid conservationist who was moved by his time in Africa to shine a light on "man's greed and absolute unwillingness to operate according to Mother Nature's laws," he told the AP in 2004.
Swayze was married since 1975 to Niemi, a fellow dancer who took lessons with his mother; they met when he was 19 and she was 15. A licensed pilot, Niemi would fly her husband from Los Angeles to Northern California for treatment at Stanford University Medical Center.
In February, Swayze wrote an op-ed piece in the Washington Post titled, "I'm Battling Cancer. How About Some Help, Congress?" in which he urged senators and representatives to vote for the maximum funding for the National Institutes of Health to fight cancer as part of the economic stimulus package.
He also appeared in the September 2008 live television event "Stand Up to Cancer," where he made this moving plea: "I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, a life not lived in the shadow of cancer, but in the light. ... I dream that the word 'cure' will no longer be followed by the words 'is impossible.'"

Mike Jackson's New Grave Home for Him
GLENDALE, Calif. – One month after a lavish public memorial for
MR. Jackson, the pop singer's family prepared to inter him privately Thursday in a mausoleum filled with legendary entertainers.
On Wednesday, a judge said Jackson's estate will bear the funeral costs, which were characterized by an attorney as "extraordinary." It was disclosed in court that 12 burial spaces were being purchased at Forest Lawn Glendale, about eight miles north of downtown Los Angeles, but no details were offered on how they would be used.
In a declaration filed Wednesday by Katherine Jackson's attorney, Burt Levitch, stated that the cemetery told him the spaces had to be purchased as a unit and could not be subdivided.
"Mrs. Jackson and her family wish to honor her son by a funeral that seeks to offer solace to his multitude of fans and by which the family also may be comforted," Levitch wrote in the declaration.
A copy of the contract with the cemetery filed with the court has been redacted so that costs and details of Thursday's service have been removed.
Jackson will rest in the cemetery's Great Mausoleum with Hollywood stars including Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and W.C. Fields.
Jackson's funeral won't end the legal drama over his drug-induced death at age 50, which authorities have labeled a homicide. No criminal charges have been filed over his June 25 death, which came on the cusp of London concerts meant to restore Jackson to his once-incandescent stardom.
Last week, coroner's officials said they believed Jackson's death was homicide, and his death certificate has been amended to reflect that. It cites "injection by another" as the fatal injury.
Investigators have said a mix of the powerful anesthetic propofol and another sedative killed the pop singer. The new record lists "acute propofol intoxication" as the main cause of death and "benzodiazepine effect" as another significant contributor.
The certificate does not mention Dr. Conrad Murray, who was Jackson's personal physician. He told detectives that he gave the singer a series of sedatives and propofol to try to help him sleep.
The coroner's determination of homicide makes it easier for prosecutors to seek criminal charges, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.

Farrah Fawcett and Her Son Redmond Being Ripped Off Financially By Ex Lover!!
Recent questions have arisen as to why Greg had not seen Farrah in almost 3 years prior to her death. The question I am continually asked “If Greg loved Farrah so much why didn’t he see her?” The answer, "I didn't want to see her like that" Greg stated in his recent interview. Mr. Lott unable to find work, and washing cars in Lubbock, Tx found a way through Farrah to earn extra money selling her pictures and memorabilia online through the website. Greg Lott was contractually bound to send 75% of the proceeds from FarrahFawcett.us to help her charities and ailing father. As Farrah was living her last days, Greg's only mission was to have Farrah sign over her rights to the website and her likeness to him so he could profit further. Ryan O’Neal thwarted those plans by denying Greg access to Farrah when he was here from Texas. Additionally, Greg was advertising on the Farrahfawcett.us his ability to have a “personalized autographed photo of Farrah Fawcett” available for an additional fee. Greg continually sold these pictures to awaiting fans without having the ability to reach or see the dyeing Icon. Questions continually arise as to how these pictures magically contained Farrahs’ personalized wishes to her fans. Complaints of mail fraud, forgery and fraud have been lodged at Greg Lott and FarrahFawcett.us. The website and Farrah’s likeness are owned by Farrah’s estate and ultimately Redmond O’Neal. Today, the website is up and selling Farrah’s merchandise, so Greg is once again profiting from Farrah Fawcett ultimately cheating Farrah’s estate of the money it deserves.

Mike Jackson Funeral August 29th,2009
Michael Jackson will be buried Saturday, August 29, on what would have been the singer's 51st birthday, according to a statement from publicist Ken Sunshine. Katherine Jackson has proposed she or one of her children be added as an executor to Michael's will. The private ceremony will take place at Holly Terrace in The Great Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California, and "will be limited to family and close friends," the statement said. Jackson died June 25 of cardiac arrest. The famed entertainer was 50. Other Jackson plans have moved sluggishly. Monday, a judge delayed his approval of the exhibition agreement between concert promoter AEG Live and the Jackson estate until Friday, when he will hear testimony about why Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, thinks it should be renegotiated. The three-city exhibition of Jackson memorabilia could be derailed, as relations between Jackson's mother, the men Jackson named as executors of his will and the promoter of his planned comeback concerts have been challenging. Questions surrounding Michael Jackson's death and AEG Live's role in his last days are an "obvious source of tension" as Katherine Jackson objects to the agreement, Jackson attorney Burt Levitch said. Michael Jackson's family has "floated" the possibility of filing a wrongful-death lawsuit against AEG Live because of its "very, very active role in Michael's life during the last six months," Levitch said Monday. Levitch said AEG Live "apparently paid for the services of Dr. Conrad Murray, who we're told is under criminal investigation in connection with the decedent's death." Warrants used to search Murray's home and clinics indicated police were investigating his role in Jackson's June 25 death. A source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that Murray gave the anesthetic propofol to Jackson in the 24 hours before he died. "There's an obvious link between AEG and concerns that we have about the decedent's demise," Levitch said. "So, that's one obvious source of tension right now."
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff set a November trial date to hear Katherine Jackson's potential challenge of John Branca and John McClain, who were named as executors in Michael Jackson's 2002 will. Katherine Jackson has proposed that she or one of her children be added as an executor. "We think it's important for the family to have a seat at the table," Levitch said. "It's not just a matter of making a quick buck here." A Jackson family member would be in the best position to guide Michael Jackson's legacy, he said. Beckloff delayed a decision until Friday on Katherine Jackson's objection to the agreement made by Branca and McClain, who are serving for now as special administrators of the estate, to allow AEG Live to produce a Michael Jackson exhibition. Jackson lawyers argued in Monday's hearing that the 50-50 split of profits for the exhibition was too generous to AEG Live, but estate lawyers said they negotiated the best terms possible. AEG Live lawyer Kathy Jorrie said any further delay in approval would cause the company to abandon the deal and the company would not renegotiate. AEG Live would hold the exhibition just as a documentary about Jackson's last months hits theaters at the end of October. "It's important to the world that we present them with the memorabilia at the time the movie is released," Jorrie said. The judge has approved a merchandising agreement and the movie deal, both of which were adjustments to the contract Jackson signed with AEG Live earlier this year for a string of 50 comeback concerts that were to start last month in London, England. Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman said canceling the exhibition deal could cost the Jackson estate $5 million

Making Your Heart of Worship
I am thinking about how importnt god allways is in my life and how wonderfull it is to know that God is allways there for me. Its great to know that you have God to learn on when you succed or fail at things in life but just knowing he is supporting your walk on earth really helps alot. I allway think he needs more of me than probabily what I give to him as I feel that that is something that one has to be diligent to him. I find it interesting how other people relate to God on a daily basis much differently than I do and see his good
deeds done sometimes through these very same people that I know. The old addage that God works good in mystery ways I feel really holds true cause you don't allways see what he is doing until sometimes later after the event has happened and then you go say to yourself gee why did I not think of that myself.. The heart of worship to God is loyalty,praise,prayer such as with out these components your probabily going to be ignored and passed over for things in your life that you need and want. Praise and loyalty are the way to be accepted by God and prayer is the messager to which God listens to your needs and yes your wants too. I frequently see throughout my life time many people who think that you can get God to listen to you if you just make promises and never follow through on them. This is how ones life fails with God which in turn sours your relationship with god and he will not trust in you if you do this to him. I just wanted say that worship is much more than going to church and singing and clapping as I have seen in other Christian based churches that I have been to over the last few decades. it really is missed that worship is about how you are and how God feels about you and what are you giving to support the causes that he supports. Life with God is about giving and caring about others not about how much more you can be self centered and all about me type attitude. Everyone goes through some self doubt and shame about how they failed to do bettter at alot of things but God only judges you on your attention to him and not your possesionsin life. if you only concentrate on your own interest then your not seeing all the good that God has brought to you. I think this is important for people in general to remember since most people have a attention span of a a few seconds. Gods wants and demands your full attention span so he can make your life better and the cooperation from you in order for you to grow with him and yes that is the real heart of worship in th modern age. This really represents what kind of relationship with him that you have or don't have and it is important to allway to become closer to God as you you grow older and hopefully wiser too. Lifes get better if you have God on your side and allso have a understanding of what he wants and needs you to do for him on earth as this is how ones life is turned from a bad life to something great and wonderfull..

Farrah Fawcett Being Ripped Off Again By Former Lover!!!!!
In clear violation of the "cease and desist order" by Farrah Fawcett's estate. In light of all the customer complaints and accusations of fraud to the FBI and the Postal Inspectors. With customers still complaining that they have yet to receive the items they bought prior to Farrah's death. Despite all of this Greg Lott has decided in his wisdom, to put publish the FarrahFawcett.us website. Yes he's selling Farrah's pictures and memorabilia. At least he took down "proceeds go to charity" line from the website. Now just assuming here, the car washing gig, didn't make enough money to produce all the items that were backlogged to awaiting customers. My theory Greg is taking orders on new items to make money to produce the items to sell to the awaiting customers. Now this is very similar to what Bernie Maddoff did to his many clients, it's called a ponzi scheme. Named after the famous con man Charles Ponzi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme. Now I have reported before, that Greg Lott, attempted to see Farrah to sign over her rights in the website to Greg aka (Relentless Corp) for 10.00. I see the website is owned Relentless Corp. Now I know that Greg did not get FF permission to put this site up and no contracts were signed when Greg Lott was here as he was unable to see Farrah. So how did he get the permission to publish this site and in essance take money again from Farrah's Estate.???? Answer=He's stealing from Farrah Fawcett and she is dead and cannot respond to him doing this to her which is very sad. If Farrah knew about this happening now and she be living today she would rip this guy a new butt for the things he's doing wrong.

Struggling with Mail Programs
I just have to sit here and vent my total frustration with e-mail programs today. I have am trying to get a mail program to work on my system here and it is the most agravating thing to do since it is supposed to be so easy to just connect it to any remote mail server and download your mail. the documentation says it is easy but that is just a real lie cause every time I try to get this program to connect to the remote server I get another strange kind of error. I have tried alot of different mail programs but this Thunderbird Mail is supposed to be the easiest to use and I do like it but try to get it to work with any other account besides Gmail and it does not work.. Yahoo and the rest of the mail accounts I have and don't seem to work with it but yet it does support multi account and multi identities all in the same program.. I got another error when trying to connect it to Yahoo early this morning which says unable to send user login information and pop user is not allowed access. Hmmmm.. I got to say in 30 years of computer usage I thought I pretty much encountered most every error that computers and the internet could throw at me but this one has me stumped. I am trying to use thunderbird mail program and would like help if someone online has any ideas or suggestions just leave it in the comment section or e-mail me if you know the solution to this problem. Oh.. yes and one other thing it is doing is to ask for the password to my yahoo account then I type the correct password and then it gives me a wierd error response message telling me pop user not allowed. I have have played around with the server settings but that does not seem to fix the problem which usually is the right solution and fixes the server assignment issue. I look down at the left side bar at the bottom of the screen and it says I am connected to yahoo mail host but fails in sending login information which totally puzzles me as to why it is doing this.. If any one can help me it sure would be appreciated and maybe you can tell me why all mail programs are really hard to get Yahoo and Hotmail to work wiith... Oh by the way Gmail works just fine!! Why does Yahoo allways be a pain in the neck just like Hotmail does the same thing to setup and use with remote mail programs like Thunderbird and Windows Mail and other programs like it?? I think they do it so only advanced computer users can figure out how to use it and get the benefits out of the program..

Please Support Farrah's Law And Farrah Fawcett's Legacy
The proponent of Rihanna’s Law, is now also backing Farrah’s Law which will make it much easier to prosecute individuals who leak and buy stolen private medical information. Leaking private crime victim photos, such as in Rihanna’s case, is bad enough, but what happened to Farrah Fawcett is an absolute outrage and something must be done immediately. Farrah’s private medical information was outright SOLD to the tabloids by a UCLA Medical Center employee.
Farrah Fawcett said in a recent interview, “I’m holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer that may not be very clear to me now, that I will do.” Farrah expressed her indignation over UCLA Medical Center employees leaking her private medical information to the tabloid press, namely The National Enquirer. Perhaps the enactment of Farrah’s Law, legislation making it illegal for medical staff, or others who may have access, to leak private medical information to the media, whether they are paid for that information or not, will be something good to come out of the anguish Farrah has had to endure. “As in Rihanna’s Law, the issue is the distribution of illegally obtained PRIVATE information, to the press, not the exchange of money. Even if law enforcement is unable to prove money changed hands, that should make it no less of a crime. The detrimental effects of these leaks are the same whether the information is sold or given away for free. The monetary aspect of it would be an additional criminal charge. Farrah’s Law, inspired by Farrah’s horrific ordeal of betrayal by her own medical care providers, is currently in the works. To support her cause Farrahslaw.com is an online petition people can sign to show their support. It shines a bright light on the dire need for reform in this area of privacy protection not only for celebrities and public figures, but for all individuals. Medical records are something no unauthorized person should have access to, especially not the press.
I’m holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer that may not be very clear to me now, that I will do. Seems there are areas that should be off limits Ironically the employee guilty of selling the stolen medical information, has since died of cancer. It was found the hospital staff member’s husband was paid $4600.00 for information Farrah’s cancer had returned. “Seems there are areas that should be off limits,” stated Farrah in CNN interview. Worrying about the press getting a hold of her medical records and publishing her condition to the world before she can share it with her family is something a person fighting cancer should not have to even worry about. Recovery should be her only concern at this moment but instead she has had to spend the past months battling anxiety and frustration over stories printed by tabloids who should have never been able to obtain the information let alone print the stolen private information.

Market News
I just am going to update the market events for this day by saying that stocks are on a rolling coaster ride down hill and the current smarket is at minus 10.13.. This is to be expected to continue as more bad economic data comes out from the Fed and US Treasury showing a really bad economy. While more from other income sectors showing a real loss in consumer spending and credit card and bank companies charging higher interest rates on consumer and home loans this month this causing more pain for everyone. To add insult to everything more banks are on the Fed bank failure list and are slated to fail and close by the end of the year resulting in a loss of of consumer confidence in our financial system. Lawmakers are also talking about a second stimulis package to boost the sagging economy and promote growth in all current weakened sectors of goods and services. If this package does become reality then you will see Wall Street grow more conservitive and a worse stock and bond market down turn will happen in the not to distant future. The last stimulis package signed into law caused the current bad economics and increased the national debt to about 56 trillion dollars which we ae all going to eventually have to pay back. My thought is that this is terrible policy and we should repeal this package and other like it and stop spending money that we and our kids and grand kids are all going to be saddled with paying back over a long time. We should also go back to a standard of gold and silver as currency as a primary monatary funding for the whole country or at least back up all of the paper money with precious metals. This would give us a backing in hard times when we really need it and promote real growth and a better growth rate to all sectors of our economy that are hurting right now. I think that by using gold and silver coins are real net worth would increase over time and maybe we could begin to erase the burden of the debt that we as a nation and do the right thing by dealing with being 56 trillion we now owe for our wastefull spending habits. This would then start a new economic expansion that would effect every person living in America and increase the level of income for everyone not just the rich but also the poor too who need it the most. This would be put our nation in a recovery that we really need and help better everyone in business and Wall street grow bigger, faster and eventually make us a nation of being debt free which we need very much to become sooner.

Stock Market Positive Gain And Debt
It is said that hwen the down is down surely it will have a rebound and that is just what it did this week. In heavy trading it closed out the week with a gain of 17.15 with alot of swing on news from the housing and banking sectors reporting better than expected earning for this quarter. In other news Fed Boss Ben Bernake said that the overhaul of the fed interest rate combined with better than expected earnings for corporate America this year have fueled another possible bullish economy. I think if you look at the real figures we are still gripped with a bad recession and a slow down of manufacturing which shows a different kindof economic sluggishness currently. Overall though the market and certian sectors of our economy are doing better than what the Fed and US Treasury thought would happen and that is great but main street America is really being hurt by the Federal growing debt and the banks going out of business. One look at the bank failure list tells the true story about the overall economic health of America which is that our economy is really hurting and so is everyone at the lower income level. This in turn is reflected on Wall Street and the market go down and it then is reflected in a loss in paying jobs and earnings for all companies in America. I think we all could benifit if we learned to save money and invest it in stocks and saving accounts in stead of how most people are doing things these days. That old addage is true (a penny saved is a penny earned )and learning to cut up the credit cards sure helps to bring ones debt load to zero and own everything is better way of doing things.I think we all need to start being a nation of zero debt and own everything again just like we were before credit was invented.. This would help reverse the trend away from total bankruptcy that we are unfortunately heading as a nation and bring our economy back to good health again. Consumer spending is down becuase we are not realizing our goals of growth due to our willingness to charge everything on credit instead of paying cash for everything and this is a huge problem for all of America. My hope is that soon we will not be a debt burdened nation and our wealth as a nation will be in gold and products and services that we can all be proud to call made in America.

Stock Market Change Coming
Hello Everyone, I want to let everybody know that the tech aand energy sector stock are going to be a good buy in the next few weeks. The market is very busy going down after alot of bad economic data coming from the housing and job markets. Some sort of reversal from the current market gloom is coming in the next couple of weeks and it will be very profitable if as a investor gets in on it. Banks are hurting right now and the rest of the financial sytem is going bad but there is some bright spots especially in oil and commerce today. So look ahead to a better market in the coming months as corporate America restructuring and new mergers become a way for the big companies to stay in business. We are all cost cutting on personal income budgets and corporate America is forced to do the same to become more effeciant or face going out of business. Personal income is down and our national debt is going to shoot the moon soon if we fail to control our spending. This is the keys to understanding where we are going as a nation and how much we as Americas can afford to spend on the present and future. The next generations are the ones who are going to really hurt by are wastefull spending habits and that is going to also cause another stock market crash in the future worse than the crash in 1929 and more recently this past year. We all have seen the how the stock markets and corporate America react when things get bad which is to cut cost. That is going to continue to do this unless we stop wasteing our valuable resources and reinvest in our growth and save money instead of spending it like we are at a non stop party function. I just thinking about these things today and wanted to share them with the readers of this blog. There is some good companies to invest in but pick the right ones and watch your money grow is how you get ahead with this market volitility..

Learning How To Investment
Think of all the people on Wall Street whoo have made alot of money on stcok investing is mind boggling. I am now trying to learn how to to the same thing that millions of wealthy have been doing for decades and that is making lots of money. It is allways interesting to me how people made themselves financialy rich doing not much actual labor to get there. I can see I missed the boat earlier in my life because my parent's told me to work hard labor jobs and one day you will be a success and I bought into it unfortunately. The truth is I did do those hard labor jobs and now that I am older I can see that is no way to ever get and retain wealth. I am greatfull to a few friends who showed me that stock investing is easy and it can make you very rich if you do the trading in the market correctly. I wish I had known all this in my 20 something age and started doing it then instead of doing it in my 40's now. Well, I guess your never to late to learn something new and try new ideas and hope that those things bring you wealth and happyiness. One thing that is about this investment thing is that there is too much to learn and it is too easy to burn out on information overload. Learning what you need to know is only the beginning of doing trading on the stock market as there is so much charts and different things to understand before you can trade sucessfully and not lose all your money. I am happy to say that the seminars I have gone to over the last few years have helped me alot in understanding what you have to do to make a great deal of money on each trade you buy and sell. I know now that without the seminars I have gone to i probabily would not have learned as much as I do know now about investing wisely in ones own future. So here I am newer to this way of making money and creating wealth and I can say it is challenging. You get to think this is so frustrating at times too because of the amout of daily information you need to learn and picking the right stock or funds to do our investment in a volitile market. I say this is not the type of money making that most people are told by family and parents to do but it is something if you can learn and it will bring you great joy and satifaction when you trade on the open market stock and all types of funds that are available to the small investor.

Most Banks are Seeking New Ways To Profit
Some banks are aggressively seeking deposits, and that often translates into higher yields for savers.
For instance, Discover Bank of New Castle, Del., best known for its Discover Card, has a 3.75% yield on a $2,500-minimum, 10-year IRA Certificate of Deposit. It began allowing CDs as an IRA investment, a rarity for an online bank, last November.
The bank, which has $51 billion in managed assets, also announced an online savings account paying 2% with a $500-minimum deposit, on July 7. That's the same day it priced more than 54 million shares of a common stock offering.
