Hello Iran Chamber Society,
Warm greetings from sunny Florida!
I love and support the NIAC (National Iranian American Council) and appreciate your many contributions in our world.
As the author of "United States of Arrogance" I do not blindly demonize people, nor a country where I have never traveled.
As a world traveler, I have been to nearly 60 countries and 6 continents thus far. I would love to visit Iran. As the author of 17 books, including my poetry book "Poems That Propel the Planet" I think a poetry tour and book signing tour would be wonderful if we can arrange and provide some security protection.
Somebody sent me this link today below from your website.

I don't waste much time arguing religion. All I know is supernatural power and my divine experiences with God, some of which are available for viewing on video at - http://www.PaulFDavis.com/supernatural-power (scroll down please to view)
I am also the author of "God vs. Religion" as I know manmade religions and religous ideas often misrepresent God. Nevertheless I love all people regardless of their beliefs and believe the heart of God is to love people, not kill in the name of God. Jesus the Prince of peace said the same thing (John 16:1-3).
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God (Matthew 5:9). When your government, leaders, nation and people are ready to pursue peace, open up for global tourism and stop being bounced around as a tennis ball between the global media and the foreign policies of the USA and Israel - I am happy to come and provide consultation and speak to your national leaders about a plan for a new Iran.
Wishing you peace and prosperity in 2010.
In the spirit of brotherhood and service.
Paul F Davis

Russia to Play Asteroids in Outerspace to Save the Earth
The Associated Press reports Russia's space agency chief said Wednesday a spacecraft may be dispatched to knock a large asteroid off course and reduce the chances of earth impact, even though U.S. scientists say such a scenario is unlikely.
Anatoly Perminov told Golos Rossii radio the space agency would hold a meeting soon to assess a mission to Apophis. He said his agency might eventually invite NASA, the European Space Agency, the Chinese space agency and others to join the project.
When the 270-meter (885-foot) asteroid was first discovered in 2004, astronomers estimated its chances of smashing into Earth in its first flyby, in 2029, at 1-in-37.
Further studies have ruled out the possibility of an impact in 2029, when the asteroid is expected to come no closer than 18,300 miles (29,450 kilometers) from Earth's surface, but they indicated a small possibility of a hit on subsequent encounters.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/eu_russia_asteroid_encounter - VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
If the Russians pull this off, there will be a lot of vodka drinking and toasts made to the former Soviet Union.
When I spent some time with Pastor Jack Hayford in Van Nuys, California and he heard how many countries I had traveled to... Pastor Jack chuckled and said, "Let me know when you reach beyond this world."
It looks like Russia and NASA are already doing a fine job at that. Although as a Floridian I would enjoy leaving this world and going into outerspace sometime on the Space Shuttle (which launches just an hour's drive from my home in Orlando).

Change and Transition Speaker: Ride the Waves of Change and Break the Chains in Turbulent Times
Many are they who presently feel empty within without heavenly vision. Yet faking the funk won't cause you to win. The road to hell is often paved with good intentions. You can be so wrong for so long, but if you really want a breakthrough let me tell you what to do...
Before the roof caves in and the truth comes out, humble yourself and fall upon the Rock of ages Christ Jesus the God of the resurrection. God is not moved by headstrong know-it-alls whose fragile egos require continual self-exaltation.
Confess to God the error of your ways, pride, wrongdoing, weakness and inability to find the way to your personal promised land. Let's face it folks! Like it or not, we all need God at some time and point in our life. Your breaking point and dire disappointment is therefore a divine invitation and appointment with your Creator to create something new in, with, through and for you!
God gives grace speedily, generously and abundantly to the humble; but He swiftly resists the proud in heart. Therefore be childlike in heart and mind, acknowledging your need of God and His divine involvement, intervention and orchestration in your life.
Otherwise trying to stand alone you shall likewise fall alone. However if you draw near to God, He can resurrect hope in your heart and cause you to not only stand, but also to boldly and bravely enter your personal promised land (though it usually comes as you walk by faith, not by sight).
Change is ongoing in life. No matter how smart you think yourself to be... No matter how headstrong and resistant you may be... No matter how arrogant and obnoxious you are... Change is a definite fact that if resisted will break you and limit your ability to go far.
Change therefore is not the problem - we are when we resist it, which causes us to enter prisons of our own making and be bound by chains. Yet the chains are more internally restricting than outwardly restricting, because a small inner adustment and renewing of the mind can immediately change your perspective and prepare for you new electives... new options... new situations... new destinations... new opportunities... giving birth to new relationships and divine connections...
Jesus said "They who are born of the Spirit are as the wind" ...a bit unpredictable, but always dynamic and powerful (John 3:8).
When the wind blows it is refreshing and invigorating. Eagles spread their wings and rise upon the wind.
Chickens stay on the ground to cluck and crow. However they who embrace change and draw near to God with humility of heart will arise with heavenly vision to fly and be on the go!
Die to your pride and that which you adamantly require ...and let the God of the resurrection impart to your heart new divine fire and give birth to that which you ultimately desire.
Change and transition is the way of the wild. Conservatives and top heavy folks don't usually thrive under such circumstances during turbulent times.
But they who know their God will be strong and accomplish great things (Daniel 11:32) in the midst of turbulent times because their citizenship is in heaven, their trust is in their Creator ....who continually creates and gives birth to new opportunities!
They who are earthly minded however cleave to their beloved country (many of which are presently falling and all of which shall powerfully be shaken, tested and tried in the last days - Haggai 2:6-8) and are greatly limited thereby and crippled therein.
The citizens of heaven however continually manifest, embrace and arise to soar higher and transcend geographical borders and boundaries to rejoice in a world of opportunities.
A new day and a new way is upon us!
Enjoy the waves of change or be contained by the chains of your prideful resistance.

Women Issues Speaker: American Women Entitlement Mentality and Lack of Integrity
The greatest generation, my grandparents' era, are sadly gone. They knew how to work for what they wanted and rarely complained. Today we have women's rights, fights, a lack of integrity and an entitlement mentality. What do I mean?
Thanks to modern media, immorality and an ungodly mentality of entitlement that tells women they "deserve" more... women nowadays are continually looking over the fence for greener pastures, richer men and romantic flings.
I learned a long time ago lust is not love, although it can be more fun for a short while. However reality eventually catches up with us and allows us to test the depth of professed love.
The Bible says, "Love in deed and truth, not in tongue" (1 John 3:18). American women (like men professing love to get quick sex) have learned to say the right things to get a relational commitment and mate a man, only to later learn and discover thereafter that the love they sought was nothing more than an illusion.
Notions of love often are far apart and removed from reality and everyday life. True love is coupled with truth and commitment, which soap operas and bachelorette shows rarely embody and embrace.
Infatuation and personal gratification therefore has become the order of the day for many self-willed and headstrong American women. To each her own. After all it is your life.
Yet if you are disgruntled, disillusioned and unhappy ladies don't blame the men in your life for your "issues" currently inwardly and outwardly tormenting you.
How about a check-up from the neck up for American women.
1. Before you gripe about money - get a job and pay your bills.
Too many women lean on the men in their life and complain while doing so, but rarely contribute.
2. Learn how to keep your word and do what you say.
American women talk, complain and gossip much but do very little.
If you set a goal, finish what you start. Otherwise you are flaky and unstable.
Don't seek satisfaction in a man if you cannot master your own life and show some discipline in your career pursuits, educational enrichment and occupational advancement.
I once dated a woman who comically wanted to have children immediately after marriage. There was an obvious insecurity and depth of despair in this emotional bottomless pit who desperately yearned for something to give her life purpose.
While having and raising children is honorable and admirable, wanting to do so immediately after the honeymoon is a bit desperate and indicates a lack of personal purpose.
3. Instead of creating problems, be a problem solver.
A woman once told her Pastor, "Please pray for me Pastor that God will give me a husband to take care of me."
The Pastor wisely replied: "I don't have a husband to take care of me."
Many women have a similar mentality, shunning thier personal responsibility to provide for their needs and harness their greeds which they don't have sufficient provision to presently obtain.
Instead of being overwhelmed and undone with envy and jealousy when you see others with that which you want, why not practice some personal disciple and good old fashion dedication to work tirelessly until you can EARN that it is you want.
The women of today think they are entitled to something just because somebody else has it and they too want it. I don't think so.
Get off your arse and get an education and a job - applying some discipline to EARN that which you desire.
Otherwise you have no right to complain and whine about it if you are too lazy to get up and work for it.
If you think a sugar daddy will solve your problems, you are greatly deceived. A sugar daddy will treat you like a prosititute and get rid of you when he is finished using you.
Thereafter you will feel worthless and worth less than before.
That being said how about taking the time to invest in yourself, separate yourself from men and do soemthing meaningful with your life instead of shopping, complaining and comparing.
Your problem is not your man, but the person in the mirror.
Welcome to the 21st century princess.
What you SAY means nothing. What you DO means everything!

A woman once told her Pastor, "Please pray for me Pastor that God will give me a husband to take care of me."
The Pastor wisely replied: "I don't have a husband to take care of me."
Many women have a similar mentality, shunning thier personal responsibility to provide for their needs and harness their greeds which they don't have sufficient provision to presently obtain.
Instead of being overwhelmed and undone with envy and jealousy when you see others with that which you want, why not practice some personal disciple and good old fashion dedication to work tirelessly until you can EARN that it is you want.
The women of today think they are entitled to something just because somebody else has it and they too want it. I don't think so.
Get off your arse and get an education and a job - applying some discipline to EARN that which you desire.
Otherwise you have no right to complain and whine about it if you are too lazy to get up and work for it.
If you think a sugar daddy will solve your problems, you are greatly deceived. A sugar daddy will treat you like a prosititute and get rid of you when he is finished using you.
Thereafter you will feel worthless and worth less than before.
That being said how about taking the time to invest in yourself, separate yourself from men and do soemthing meaningful with your life instead of shopping, complaining and comparing.
Your problem is not your man, but the person in the mirror.
Welcome to the 21st century princess.
What you SAY means nothing. What you DO means everything!

Assisted Living Community Speaker on Activities for Seniors - Paul F Davis is an Advocate and Speaker for Seniors
As a worldwide professional speaker raised by my grandparents (whom I also later cared for in their old age), I am deeply passionate about and committed to the seniors of the world.
Empowering people of all ages to live their best life now is my heartbeat.
While living in England over a decade ago, I also worked the evening shift at an assisted living home where I had the assignment of bathing and putting the elderly to bed and dressing them in the morning before breakfast.
Nearly all of my seniors were women (as were my co-workers). It was a delightful and wonderful experience.
That being said, it would be an honor and delight to speak to the members of your Assisted Living Association.
As a former personal fitness trainer and camp counselor (the latter of which I served at Camp Challenge for the Easter Seal Society), I am equipped to speak on activities for your seniors. I also frequently travel and speak on cruise ships, which accommodate seniors and provide a wide array of activities (predominately serving that demographic).
My grandmother had dementia, so I do understand the challenges associated with this and additional dilemmas seniors face in general.
Below is an inspirational talk on overcoming adversity I gave at a church, wherein I mention caring for seniors in England. The video begins a bit slowly, but picks up rather quickly if you can hang in there with me :o)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dhx3uVF8kc
As a worldwide profesional speaker who has given countless paid talks and presentations in 55 countries and 6 continents, my usual hourly keynote fee earned is $2,500 before travel expenses.
For a half-day I usually am paid no less than $3,000.
Nevertheless because I Iove seniors and those serving them, I am willing to work with your budget in exchange for some intangibles to help you pay the difference for my speaking fee.
Among the ways you can add value to me beyond monetary payment:
- Help facilitate other paid speaking engagements when I am in your area through your recommendation / referral (other assisted living communities, churches, civic groups, faith based groups, women's groups, companies, corporations, schools, colleges, universities).
- Provide publicity for me as a speaker on local TV, newspapers, magazines and in your own publication.
- Mention my nonprofit organization Dream-Maker Ministries along with the publicity for anybody desirous of making a tax exempt charitable donation.
- Video / audio tape my presentation for me and provide me a DVD / CD afterward to use as a product offering among my educational / empowerment resources.
Among the many books I have written for women are:
- Empowering & Liberating Women to Achieve Greatness
- Breathrough For A Broken Heart
- Adultery 101
- Healthy Relationships
It would be wonderful if we could work together, making the event mutually advantageous so I can come and empower your community's leaders and be a blessing to your seniors.
Wishing you a wonderful and prosperous new year!

Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures - Moral Relativism Gone Awry and Arrogance Gone Mad
http://www.amazon.com/Christianity-Crisis-Cultures-Pope-Benedict/dp/1586171429/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262047309&sr=1-1/&tag=motispeaforco-20
Written by Joseph Ratzinger shortly before he became Pope Benedict XVI, Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures looks at the growing conflict of cultures evident in the Western world.
The West faces a deadly contradiction of its own making, he contends. Terrorism is on the rise. Technological advances of the West, employed by people who have cut themselves off from the moral wisdom of the past, threaten to abolish man (as C.S. Lewis put it)—whether through genetic manipulation or physical annihilation.
In short, the West is at war—with itself. Its scientific outlook has brought material progress. The Enlightenment’s appeal to reason has achieved a measure of freedom. But contrary to what many people suppose, both of these accomplishments depend on Judeo-Christian foundations, including the moral worldview that created Western culture.
More than anything else, argues Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, the important contributions of the West are threatened today by an exaggerated scientific outlook and by moral relativism—what Benedict XVI calls "the dictatorship of relativism"—in the name of freedom.
Christianity and the Crisis of Cultures is no mere tirade against the moral decline of the West. Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI challenges the West to return to its roots by finding a place for God in modern culture. He argues that both Christian culture and the Enlightenment formed the West, and that both hold the keys to human life and freedom as well as to domination and destruction.
Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI challenges non-believer and believer alike. "Both parties," he writes, "must reflect on their own selves and be ready to accept correction." He challenges secularized, unbelieving people to open themselves to God as the ground of true rationality and freedom. He calls on believers to "make God credible in this world by means of the enlightened faith they live."
Topics include:
• Reflections on the Cultures in Conflict Today
• The Significance and Limits of Today’s Rationalistic Culture
• The Permanent Significance of the Christian Faith
• Why We Must Not Give Up the Fight
• The Law of the Jungle, the Rule of Law
• We Must Use Our Eyes!
• Faith and Everyday Life
• Can Agnosticism Be a Solution?
• The Natural Knowledge of God
• "Supernatural" Faith and Its Origins

American Whey Protein Powder Tastes Great - Sweet Poison Acesulfame Potassium Causes Cancer, Brain Damage and Kidney Problems
I just started reading about brain and eye cancer as a result of food additives. Excitoxins causing brain damage and neurological disorders.

Anybody working for Kraft, Heinz, General Mills or any other large food manufactuer... I welcome your photos, videos and employee (and past employee) testimonies about the food additives they knowingly put in their processed foods.
Many times aspartame, glutathione and MSG are masked by other names:
"natural flavors, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, monsodium glutamate, hydrolized plant protein, plant protein extract, sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, yeast extract, textured protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolized oat flour, malt extract, malt flavoring, bouillon, broth, stock, flavoring, natural flavoring, natural beef, chicken flavoring, seasoning, spices, carrageenan, enzymes, soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, whey protein concentrate"
If you have any info on this I'd love to do an article, book, video documentary and compile testimonies of anybody on the inside willing to speak.
Together we can save lives and launch an expose and class action lawsuit against these food manufacturers killing the general unsuspecting public.

Australia the Movie - Dreams, Faith, Hope and Love Transcend Racism
Outstanding country and phenomenal film documenting the struggle between whites and the aborigines to peacefully coexist in a wonderful land being bombed by the Japanese during WWII.
Tackling and trascending racism the film shows the bigotry and prejudice of whites in AUS, which the Australian government recently formerly apologized for.
Australia is an awesome and gloriously beautiful country with magnificent terrains and gorgeous beaches. I have been privileged and blessed to travel to Australia three times thus far in my life and am always amazed by the natural beauty.
The Aussies are also very warm and welcoming people - very fun to converse and interact with.
I wish I were in Australia right now as it is winter here in the United States and I'm a bit cold at present.
Love, appreciation and the utmost respect to my friends in Australia.
When I grow up I hope to be able to surf as good as you Aussies!

Academic Success Speaker - Natural Cure for ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder: Say No to Ritalin
http://vrp.com/ProductPage.aspx?MBR=592282&ProdID=1321 DMAE improves memory and learning enhancing cognitive ability, reduces hyperactivity, increases attention span, reduces irritability, improves sleep and helps remove lipofuscin, "age spots" on skin.
Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) or deanol, is a natural substance found in anchovies and sardines and, to a limited extent, in the brain itself. DMAE is known to increase the production of choline in the brain and, as a result, increases the brain’s production of acetylcholine.
DMAE produces a sense of mood elevation and improved memory and learning ability, even in the young. In one large study involving behavioral problems in children, it was found that DMAE supplementation reduced hyperactivity, increased attention span, and reduced irritability in 76% of girls and 66% of boys. It is definitely a better alternative than the drug Ritalin in cases of attention deficit disorder.
Other reports show DMAE reduces daytime fatigue and gives one a sense of having more energy. Sleep is also often sounder and Doctor Russell Blaylock reports that many require less sleep than before supplementation. DMAE appears to stabilize cell membranes.

New Airline Restrictions and Regulations to Protect our United States National Security
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement Saturday that passengers flying to the U.S. from overseas may notice extra security, but she said the measures "are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere."
A Nigerian passenger on a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam allegedly attempted to start a fire as the plane prepared to land in Detroit on Friday, according to authorities. The incident has sparked a major international terrorism investigation.

Chordless Home Phones and Mobile Phones Causing Cancer of Brain and Eyes along with Tumors
More and more scientists believe that the EMR (electromagnetic radiation) emitted by cell phones is causing an unprecedented rise in brain and eye cancer.
Australian brain expert warns mobile phone use is more dangerous than smoking.
Brain tumors now claim more young lives than any other form of cancer, including leukemia.
Doctor cites huge rise in tumours and calls on industry to take immediate steps to reduce radiation.
Chordless home phones are said to be 3 times worse than mobile phones.
Prevention magazine (January, 2010) acknowledged England, Germany and France all have removed wireless Internet from their libraries as a precaution.

The Ultimate Gift: Priceless Christmas Gift to Enjoy for a Lifetime and Give to Generations
Jesus Christ laid down His life for you to give His life to you and to live His supernatural life through you! Jesus being a "child of the Holy Spirit" was supernaturally born (Matthew 1:18) of God the Father through a virgin named Mary.
The wise men of Christ's generation came to the child Jesus bearing gifts. Sensing the power and feeling the divine Presence of Almighty God upon Christ Jesus, though in the flesh He was but a baby, they fell to their knees and worshipped Christ (Matthew 2:10-11).
Throughout the life and ministry of Christ miracles and supernatural manifestations of the Holy Spirit confirmed His every Word (Hebrews 2:4; Mark 16:20), He being the the Word sent from God made flesh on earth (John 1:1,14).
Although jealous Jewish priests and Roman rulers crucified Christ, He rose the third day by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11), victorious over death, hell and the grave being the firstfruits of the resurrection.
Christ truly is the resurrection, way, truth and life by which all mankind shall experience newness of life. Whosoever believes can today taste, see and experience the power of the resurrection through the Spirit of Christ within their own heart.
As you celebrate Christmas today (whatever day it may be), welcome the living and risen Christ to forgive you of your sins, cleanse you within and fill you to overflowing with His powerful Holy Spirit enabling you to taste and daily live in the power of the resurrection in newness of life as you continue to fellowship with Christ the Lord.
Take a moment to get on your knees and ask Christ Jesus to forgive, free and fill you with the power of His Holy Spirit today so you can experience the miracle of Christmas and the ultimate gift that keeps on giving for a lifetime and will flow through you to generations that follow.
Truly the priceless prize of salvation, divine relationship and eternal life in Jesus Christ is the ultimate gift to be cherished above all else.
I know because Jesus changed my life by the power of His Holy Spirit, which I powerfully experienced in my bedroom when I invited Christ to forgive, free and fill me with His divine Presence.
I wish the same for you this Christmas and the ongoing joy of divine fellowship with the Father in heaven and Christ daily throughout the remainder of your life.

Dealing with Difficult People Speaker - Handling the Martyr
Among the many difficult people to deal with in life is the martyr. The martyr likes to commit to things, but then when the time comes to fulfill will complain and act like it is a death sentence.
"I never should have agreed to this."
"I can't believe I signed up for this."
This saga goes on and on! Yet it was they who verbalized their desire to do something - for whatever reason.
However instead of just shutting up and doing it, they like to play the martyr along the way to ensure they get the utmost recognition.
Don't be overwhelmed by the drama martyrs try to create. Just go about your daily life as normal and get out of the way. Return when the coast is clear and the complaining and whining has subsided.
Don't listen to the martyr's incessant complaining and whining. If you do, the martyr's complaints will intensify and you will become their go-to-guy the next time they want to complain.
Save yourself the trouble and stay clear of the martyr when they are emotionally bleeding. Go to the bathroom. Get out of the house. Go to the gym. Attend to an appointment outside the office.
Give the martyr space to die alone. LOL

Christmas: Worst Politicians in Washington Waging a War on Christmas
People of all faiths around the world celebrate Christmas. Moreover 95% of all the gifts bought during the "holidays" are purchased to celebrate Christmas.
So then why are so many merchants opposed to displaying "Merry Christmas" in their stores, when it is they who profit the most from the holiday?
As for the media, CNN likes to be "inclusive" and say "happy holidays".
To say "happy holidays" is more inclusive is fallacious indeed. Considering 95% of the United States celebrates Christmas and 84% of the country describes themselves as Christians, the percentages reveal that the secular anti-Christ stance is nothing but inclusive.
The House of Representatives weighed in on the situation of "Christmas" being displayed in the public square and at places of profitability (like shopping malls and privately owned stores).
In December 2005, House resolution 579 was introduced on the floor of the 109th Congress. It stated: "Resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the symbols of Christmas should be protected. Whereas Christmas is a national holiday celebrated on December 25th and whereas the framers intended that the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States would prohibit the establishment of religion, not prohibiting any mention of religion or reference to God in specific dialogue. Now therefore be it resolved that the House of Representatives:
1. Recognizes the importance of the symbols and traditions of Christmas
2. Strongly disapproves of attempts to ban references to Christmas
3. Expresses support for the use of these symbols and traditions."
The vote to the resolution to approve the use of Christmas symbols and traditions was 401 in favor vs. 22 who opposed with 5 spineless souls voting "simply present".
All the dissenters were Democrats:
Gary Akerman (New York)
Earl Blomenhour (Oregon)
Louis Capps (California)
Emmanual Cleaver (Missouri) ....very ironic since his very name means "God with us"
Diana Deget (Colorado)
Jane Harmon (California)
Alsie Hastings (Florida)
Michael Honda (California)
Barbara Lee (California)
John Lewis (Georgia)
Jim McDermitt (Washington)
George Miller (California)
Qwen Moore (Wisconsin)
James Moran (Virginia)
Donald Paine (New Jersey)
Bobby Rush (Illinois)
Janice Shakowski (illinois)
Bobby Scott (Virginia)
Fort Nay Star (California)
Debbie Wasmerman Schultz (Florida)
Robert Wexler (Florida)
Lynn Woolsie (California)
Most of those Congress persons cited "separation of church and state" as reason for their nay vote, but now America knows who the most secular and anti-Christ members of the House really are.
I guess they forgot that two-thirds of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were graduates from Biblical seminaries and our founders were God fearing Christians who wholeheartedly worshipped Jesus Christ publicly without shame.

Dr. Oz Show - Great Info, But the Crooked Penis?
I like the Dr. Oz show and all the medical info, but this show was a bit amusing. I was surprised this guy from Tennessee sat in the "hot seat" and spoke so candidly about his penis problems on TV during his wife's birthday. Yet I understand when you have a problem and want help, pride goes out the window. Nevertheless it still was a bit funny.

Dealing with Difficult People Speaker - Handling Threats
Sometimes the best thing you can do when a threat is made is stay calm and stay the course... and not be flustered as often threats are intended to be manipulative and remove you from a posture of faith and throw you into a state of fear.
Fear is crippling, mind boggling and disempowering.
Moreover when you live in fear you handicap yourself from thinking correctly and living proactively.
Stay calm and keep doing what you know to do.
Nothing is more attractive than self-confidence and stability in a person. Remain centered within and manifest this outwardly and all will be well concerning you.

Dealing with Difficult People During the Holidays
Stay calm, keep your joy, be positive and circulate to share the love - not letting anybody bring you down. Ultimately grumpy people during the holidays who rub you the wrong way, just want to steal your joy. Stay happy, celebratory and upbeat to show them the way out of their depression and disgruntlement.
As I prepare to give a talk on "Dealing with Difficult People" in the islands for the new year, I thought of all the wonderful extended family members who rarely see or spend time with each other throughout the year, who come together during the holidays with their many opinions, ideas and expectations.
Keep the holidays Christ and family focused, not letting any one family member lord themselves over you (or anyone else) or put a damper on the celebration and reunion.
Humor and joking is fun, but beware of little digs and innuendos endeavoring to divide and tear people down.
If necessary pull the killjoy aside and have a talk with him or her, lest they spoil the celebration for everyone.
What you do not confront, you can never correct. What you tolerate will perpetuate and eventually dominate if unchecked.
Let love, peace and joy reign supreme to quench all other foul attitudes and motives in between.

No place to contact Amazon by phone or email to cancel Amazon Prime - Beware!!!
Amazon Prime Terms & Conditions
Last updated June 23, 2009
Welcome to the terms and conditions ("Terms") for Amazon Prime. These Terms are between you and Amazon Services LLC and/or its affiliates ("Amazon.com" or "Us"), and govern our respective rights and obligations. The Terms, together with applicable terms and conditions related to any promotional offers provided to you for use with Prime, constitute the entire agreement between you and Amazon.com related to the Prime membership. Please note that your use of the Amazon.com Web site and Prime membership are also governed by our Conditions of Use and Privacy Notice, as well as all other applicable terms, conditions, limitations and requirements on the Amazon.com Web site, all of which (as changed over time) are incorporated into these Terms. If you sign up for a Prime membership, you accept these terms, conditions, limitations and requirements. Please read these Terms carefully.
Membership Benefits
Prime members are entitled to FREE Two-Day shipping and $3.99 per unit One-Day shipping on all eligible purchases. There is no minimum purchase requirement. Two-Day and One-Day shipping usually apply across business days; however, Amazon Prime members can take advantage of special weekend and other shipping options for qualifying merchandise--these options depend on inventory availability, order deadlines, and in some cases on the shipping address.
If you sign up for a Prime membership, you may invite up to four eligible household members living in your household (at the same address) to enjoy your Prime membership at no extra cost. (Please note that any member under age 18 may use the Amazon.com Web site only with involvement of a parent or guardian.) If you purchase a Prime membership for use by an Amazon corporate account, you may invite up to four eligible coworkers to shop for this corporate account consistent with these Terms and Conditions. The purchaser can change and/or remove invitees at any time. A guest's membership will automatically terminate if the purchaser of the membership ceases to be a member or removes the invitee.
Eligible Purchases
Prime is limited to certain products sold by Amazon.com (or third-party merchants participating in the Fulfillment by Amazon program) on www.amazon.com that are shipped to continental United States addresses, excluding Alaska, Hawaii, P.O. boxes, APO/FPO and U.S. territories, possessions and protectorates.
Though Two-Day and One-Day shipping benefits do not apply to these excluded addresses, members are entitled to free Standard shipping on eligible items shipped to P.O. boxes in the continental U.S. and APO/FPO addresses with U.S. zip codes. Certain products may only be eligible for free Standard shipping because of their size, weight or other shipping characteristics. We may exclude products with special shipping characteristics at our discretion. Products are eligible for Prime only if designated on the website. Products sold and fulfilled by third parties, or through third-party areas such as Marketplace and/or Auctions, are NOT eligible for Prime. Prime members are not permitted to purchase for the purpose of resale or to ship to their customers or potential customers using Prime benefits.
Conditions
You must have an Amazon.com account to sign up for and use Prime. We reserve the right to accept or refuse membership in our discretion. You may not transfer or assign your Prime membership or these benefits, except as part of our household invitee program described above. Some special product, order, handling fees and/or taxes may still apply to eligible purchases. If only some items in your order are eligible for Prime, you will pay applicable shipping charges for the ineligible items. Changing or combining orders, or changing your shipping address, speed, or preferences might affect Prime eligibility. Please note:
One-Day and Two-Day shipping are terms we use to determine your estimated delivery date (these terms do not reflect product availability or our estimated shipping date);
We may ship the products by ground or air at our discretion (these terms do not correspond to any carrier-branded shipping services);
Our carriers usually do not pick-up or deliver packages on weekends or holidays (though Amazon Prime members are eligible for special weekend and other shipping options on qualifying merchandise);
We do not guarantee delivery of products within the estimated transit time or by the estimated delivery date.
Prime is not available for members who purchase products for the purpose of resale or use Prime to ship products to their customers or potential customers.
Fees and Renewal
The annual membership fee for Prime is $79.00. From time to time, we may offer different subscriptions terms, and the membership fees for such subscriptions may vary. Only credit cards are eligible for payment of your Prime membership. Do not sign up for Prime with a debit card. Also known as a "check" or "ATM" card, a debit card typically has the word "debit" printed on the face of the card. MasterCard uses a unique debit hologram above the MasterCard logo. Visa identifies its debit cards as check cards and prints the word debit above the Visa logo. The Prime membership fee is non-refundable except as expressly set forth below. Taxes may apply on either or both of the membership fee and the reduced shipping charges for Prime.
If your Prime membership is renewed within 30 days of when your Prime benefits end, the new membership period will be extended for a new term from the original renewal date. Memberships renewed after 30 days of when your Prime benefits end will be extended for a new term from the day you are charged.
UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE RENEWAL THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL OR DO NOT WANT TO AUTO RENEW, YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR PRIME MEMBERSHIP WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE AND ANY TAXES, USING ANY CREDIT CARD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU.
Membership Cancellation
If you cancel your Prime membership before you or your registered guests have made any eligible purchases, we will refund your full membership fee.
Promotional Trial Memberships
We sometimes offer certain customers various trial or other promotional memberships, which are subject to these Terms except as otherwise stated in the promotional offers. Trial memberships cannot be canceled, but trial members can at any time (through Your Account) choose not to upgrade to regular annual membership at the end of the trial period.
Agreement Changes
We may in our discretion change these Terms, Amazon.com's general Conditions of Use and Privacy Notice, or any aspect of Prime membership, without notice to you. However, any increase in the membership fee will not apply until your membership is renewed. Also, if we increase the charges for the core One-Day and Two-Day Shipping options, or decrease the number of family members who can be invited as guests, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the new terms go into effect. If you cancel your Prime membership before the effective date of these changes, we will give you a prorated refund of your membership fee. This refund option does not apply to any other changes we may make. If any change is found invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that change is severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining changes or conditions. YOUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP AFTER WE CHANGE THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP.
Termination by Us
We may terminate your Prime membership at our discretion without notice. If we do so, we will give you a prorated refund based on the number of full months remaining in your membership. However, we will not give any refund for termination related to conduct that we determine, in our discretion, violates these Terms or any applicable law, involves fraud or misuse of the Prime membership, or is harmful to our interests or another user. Our failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights.
Limitation of Liability
IN ADDITION TO OTHER LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IN AMAZON.COM'S CONDITIONS OF USE, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PRIME. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE LAST ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE YOU PAID. THESE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND WILL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR PRIME MEMBERSHIP. CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School Public Health, Boston, MA, USA. BACKGROUND: Elevated concentrations of ambient particulate air pollution have been associated with increased hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease. Whether high concentrations of ambient particles can trigger the onset of acute myocardial infarction (MI), however, remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We interviewed 772 patients with MI in the greater Boston area between January 1995 and May 1996 as part of the Determinants of Myocardial Infarction Onset Study. Hourly concentrations of particle mass <2.5 microm (PM(2.5)), carbon black, and gaseous air pollutants were measured. A case-crossover approach was used to analyze the data for evidence of triggering. The risk of MI onset increased in association with elevated concentrations of fine particles in the previous 2-hour period. In addition, a delayed response associated with 24-hour average exposure 1 day before the onset of symptoms was observed. Multivariate analyses
considering both time windows jointly revealed an estimated odds ratio of 1.48 associated with an increase of 25 microg/m(3) PM(2.5) during a 2-hour period before the onset and an odds ratio of 1.69 for an increase of 20 microg/m(3) PM(2.5) in the 24-hour period 1 day before the onset (95% CIs 1.09, 2.02 and 1.13, 2.34, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that elevated concentrations of fine particles in the air may transiently elevate the risk of MIs within a few hours and 1 day after exposure.
Further studies in other locations are needed to clarify the importance of this potentially preventable trigger of MI. Publication Types: Multicenter study PMID: 11401937 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE:]

Passchier W, Knottnerus A, Albering H, Walda Netherlands.wf.passchier@gr.nl Health Council of The Netherlands, The Hague. Large airports with the related infrastructure, businesses and industrial activities affect the health of the population living, traveling and working in the surroundings of or at the airport. The employment and contributions to economy from the airport and related operations are expected to have a beneficial effect, which, however, is difficult to quantify. More pertinent data are available on the, largely negative, health effects of environmental factors, such as air and soil pollution, noise, accident risk, and landscape changes. Information on the concurrent and cumulative impact of these factors is lacking, but is of primary relevance for public health policy. A committee of the Health Council of The Netherlands recently reviewed the data on the health impact of large airports. It was concluded that, generally, integrated health assessments are not available. Such assessments, as part of sustainable mobility policy, should accompany the further development of the global aviation system.

Abstract: A questionnaire distributed to two groups, one living within the flight pattern of a major airport and the other in a non-flight area, sought to determine whether these groups would respond differently to questionnaires pertaining to noise, health perception, and quality of life issues. Nearly 70% of the residents living within the flight corridors reported themselves bothered by aircraft noise. Aircraft noise, in contrast to other bothersome noises, interfered more frequently with daily activities. Subjects who were bothered aircraft noise were more likely to complain of sleep difficulties and more likely to perceive themselves to be in poorer health. This study's finding of a possible relationship between noise and adverse health effects might encourage policy makers to enact pending anti-noise legislation and to fund further noise research.
Please share this study with public officials, neighbors, and all interested in effects of noise on health. With 70% of the subjects reporting being bothered by noise, it can't be said that only a few are bothered. Daily activities interfered with: watching television, sleeping, opening windows, sleep. These are all important to a good "quality of life."

The findings were, while airports vary in terms of size and geographical characteristics, significant environmental impacts were common to most of the airports in our survey. The study also found that the regulatory framework currently in place to address these impacts is inadequate. Because aviation is the fastest growing mode of transportation in the United States, increasing nearly twice as fast as motor-vehicle travel, these failings must be addressed. This report focuses on the issues they thought to be most significant: noise and land use, ground-level air emissions, water pollution, and, on a more global scale, climate change and energy efficiency.

Abstract: A questionnaire distributed to two groups, one living within the flight pattern of a major airport and the other in a non-flight area, sought to determine whether these groups would respond differently to questionnaires pertaining to noise, health perception, and quality of life issues. Nearly 70% of the residents living within the flight corridors reported themselves bothered by aircraft noise. Aircraft noise, in contrast to other bothersome noises, interfered more frequently with daily activities. Subjects who were bothered aircraft noise were more likely to complain of sleep difficulties and more likely to perceive themselves to be in poorer health. This study's finding of a possible relationship between noise and adverse health effects might encourage policy makers to enact pending anti-noise legislation and to fund further noise research.
Please share this study with public officials, neighbors, and all interested in effects of noise on health. With 70% of the subjects reporting being bothered by noise, it can't be said that only a few are bothered. Daily activities interfered with: watching television, sleeping, opening windows, sleep. These are all important to a good "quality of life."

Reports:
Bay Area Air Quality Management District findings and recommendations regarding Airport and Aircraft Air Quality. Dec, 17, 2001.
Flying Off Course: Environmental Impacts of America's Airports. Natural Resources Defense Council. Oct. 1996. The findings were, while airports vary in terms of size and geographical characteristics, significant environmental impacts were common to most of the airports in our survey. The study also found that the regulatory framework currently in place to address these impacts is inadequate. Because aviation is the fastest growing mode of transportation in the United States, increasing nearly twice as fast as motor-vehicle travel, these failings must be addressed. This report focuses on the issues they thought to be most significant: noise and land use, ground-level air emissions, water pollution, and, on a more global scale, climate change and energy efficiency.

Water Studies:
McDowell, Scott A., Sawmill Creek - "Watershed Restoration" Project, Mar.
1997. Water quality study near Baltimore-Washington Airport shows that
Sawmill Creek has been adversely affected by deicing fluids which, is a
serious human threat. Study also identifies additives to the deicing
fluids.
Hartwell, S. Ian, et. al, State of Maryland. Toxicity of Aircraft De-icer and Anti-icer Solutions on Aquatic Organisms. May, 1993. The propylene glycol anti-icer solution was found to be more toxic than the ethylene glycol de-icer solutions by two orders of magnitude. Both types of solutions exhibited greater toxicity than literature values for the primary ingredients.
Toxicological data and bibliography for some of toxic additives found in
deicing fluids at Baltimore-Washington Airport.

Women Issues Speaker: My Girl, Not My God
My girl, not my God.
An enlightening message for ladies and gents
Come on men it's time to take a stance!
Be the man God created you to truly be.
Get off your butt and turn off the TV
There is more to life than living vicariously
Through your sports heroes and teams weekly
Focus on yourself a bit to live purposefully
To regain your divine identity and live powerfully!
Shake and awake yourself to your divine destiny
Refuse to be belittled by the woman you married
Or whichever female is in your life temporarily
Be the man of the house spiritually and dynamically
Lead by example and that with tender humility
If your girl begins complaining and getting boisterous
Remind her she is your girl, not your God to be worshipped
Remove the mouthy woman from the self-centered pedestal
Take back your life and give it wholeheartedly to your Creator
If this disappoints, aggravates and irritates your prized princess
Well then she can go! Because it will no longer be her show!
If your life is to be full of peace and joy, you must submit to God
Partner with the Lord of life and put an end to all of the strife
Stop the whimpering, whining, complaining and cruel criticism
The many manipulative measures designed and used by women
To manuever and get what they want, while driving God from your life.
No more! The mighty Creator is knocking patiently at your heart's door
Waiting for your invitation to be extended graciously unto Him
So He in all of His goodness and glory may majestically come in!
Befriend the living God and His glory will miraculously clothe you
Embrace the Lord of love and His abundant blessings will chase you!
No longer will you be weakened by your drama queen's unkind words
Because the Word of life will make you stronger and fill you with faith
After which you can boldly arise with fire in your eyes to run the race
To fulfill your destiny with eyes open wide to divinely see the heavenly
To bring blessings and breakthroughs where you need God to move.
To resurrect and reestablish your manhood and attract godly women to you
To melt and change whichever woman is currently attached to you
To silence skeptics and noisy negatives being voiced among you
To turn hopeless situations around and make gray skies blue!
Reconnect with your Creator and don't worry about what the girl will do.

She said "I'm leaving you!" but as for me I'm happy as can be!
She said, "I am leaving you!"
Yet this before I have heard.
Again today this I did hear.
However I somehow did not fear
I've been down this road before
Emotional frustration at the door
Personal agony eating her within
I being the closest person to blame
Lest her illusions of grandeur end
In less than futile fortune and fame
Nevertheless me today she did disdain
Bitter sweet is a double-minded dame
Who seeks to strengthen her stature
Inwardly pursue and ponder another game
Considering other options Tom, John and Ross
Therefore I said, "Good. It's your loss!"
Walking out the house, I went to workout
Focusing my body and mind on being my best
Not succumbing to her word's of torment
Refusing to be belittled by them in the least
Remembering 3 billion women in the world need
Encourage myself and my emotions I did feed
Rather than being beguiled and caused to bleed
By her vile mechanism of emotional manipulation
I purposed to stand strong without hestitation
After a good two-hour workout I happily went home
To surprisingly find the grumpy girl long gone
Replaced by a cheerful, nurturing and loving wife
What happened to remove the turmoil and strife?
This I know not, neither do I care to fully explore
Yet this one thing I know, when complaining arose
I got up with confidence and walked out the door.
Determined to maintain my sanity and this for sure
Therefore gents be troubled by her threats no more!
Having done your best, pray that it's greatly blessed
Then happily rejoice, live your life and forget the rest
Neither be bothered by her PMS or foul moods swings
Stand strong remembering within you possess everything
Nor do you need a woman to affirm and validate you.
This you can happily do alone and cultivate yourself.
Happiness is an inside job which we must attend to
Otherwise a woman will get beneath your skin eventually
To belittle, betray, threaten, torment and manipulate you.

Dealing with Difficult People Speaker: Jealous, Envious and Adversarial Relationships
It never ceases to amaze me how mixed up internally people are and how clueless they are to the subconscious within that suddenly releases the inner emotions bottled up in a moment in time when they least expect it.
I recall one young lady I dated who struggled immensely with jealousy and envy. When I brought to her a blessing, she immediately turned it into a curse.
I invited her to go with me and another couple on a snow skiing trip. Instead of rejoicing and celebrating over the invitation, she immediately inwardly began comparing herself with the other young lady my friend is married to.
"She is so sweet. I will kill her." my former girlfriend said.
I replied, "Is that you speaking or the devil in you?"
"Jesus said, 'The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy...' (John 10:10). Are you working for Satan now?"
How is it a precious blessing can so easily be flipped, reframed, negatively received and turned into a curse?
It is because the person receiving the stimuli has a messed up computer atop their shoulders and is terribly insecure within. Hence instead of rejoicing with others, they are quick to compare and size others up in hopes of somehow elevating themselves.
This adversarial posturing is unhealthy and socially devasting. No wonder this ex-girlfriend of mine had so few friends.
It is hard to make and keep friends when you are too busy inwardly competing and comparing yourself to them. Break out of that insecurity and rut to rejoice with others, be fully present and enjoy the moment.
Life is not meant to be a continual competition, but a cooperative celebration!

Jihad on Christmas: Mob of 1000 Muslims storms a Church under construction in Jakarta, Indonesia
The 7th-century Pact of Umar forbade the construction of new churches or repair of existing ones. The pact is in the spirit of Qur'an 9:29, which commands that non-Muslims "feel themselves subdued" -- a fundamental reason why incidents such as this are neither new nor isolated.
"A thousand Islamic extremists, including women and children, storm a Church near Jakarta," by Mathias Hariyadi for AsiaNews, December 18:
Jakarta (AsiaNews) - Last night a crowd of angry Muslims, including women and children, attacked the Church of Saint Albert, in Bekasi Regency, about 30 kilometres east of Jakarta. The situation is now under control but the local Catholic community is afraid of an escalation before Christmas.
Kurniadi is a member of the committee charged with the church's construction. He told AsiaNews, "Suddenly, a bunch of bikers arrived in the area where the church stands." They had banners and kerosene tanks. "We don't know why we were attacked," he said.
Kristina Maria Renteana, who was present when the Church was attacked, said, "The mob had about a thousand people," not only men, but "women and children" as well.
Running around in cars and motorbikes is a tradition for Indonesian Muslims during "national celebrations."
Last night was the first day of the Islamic New Year, the start of the month of Muharram. Local sources told AsiaNews, on condition of anonymity, that the "crowd was made of people from Tarumajaya and Babelan", two villages in North Bekasi where Islamic extremists are a majority.
Saint Albert's Church, a chapel that is part of Saint Arnold' Church in Bekasi, was not yet finished.
Started on 11 May 2008, it had the required building permit for places of worship and was 80 per cent complete. Workers had finished the walls and the roof. Only ceramic floor tiles had to be laid.
Although not yet finished, it was set to host Christmas Mass for the local Christian community.
Now it is damaged but police and government authorities have urged the parish priest, Fr Joseph Jagadwa, to go ahead with the Mass anyway.
Such atrocities and crimes against humanity are inexcusable, as such intolerance has nothing to do with the heart of God. The people of Indonesia must stand up to the Muslim bigots and terrorists, lest the entire nation of Indonesia loses its credibility in the world.
Moreover President Obama, as a former Indonesian, must boldly speak out against such acts of intolerance and inhumanity.
I have ministered throughout Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago with over 16,000 islands.
For the most part Indonesians are kind and hospitable people. The radical Muslims are few in comparison in the world's fourth most populated country on earth.
Banda Aceh (island of Sumatra) had a history of burning down churches and kicking out any international aid workers who were not Muslim. They had planned to burn churches down on the morning of December 26, 2004 when suddenly the tsunamis hit.
I know this because I worked at the tsunami epicenter where over 200,000 people died and Christians who I spoke with in a church where I ministered near the disaster told me this.
Sumulu island nearby (a predominately Christian island), now known as "miracle island" did not have a single soul perish in the tsunamis.
Surely God will protect His own and they who die as martyrs for Christ to hold true to their witness for Christ (Acts 1:8), shall get a standing ovation and the full attention of Jesus, who shall welcome them into heaven with open arms (Acts 7:51-60).
God is love and they who kill in His Name do not know God (John 16:1-3).

I have ministered throughout Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago with over 16,000 islands.
For the most part Indonesians are kind and hospitable people. The radical Muslims are few in comparison in the world's fourth most populated country on earth.
Banda Aceh (island of Sumatra) had a history of burning down churches and kicking out any international aid workers who were not Muslim. They had planned to burn churches down on the morning of December 26, 2004 when suddenly the tsunamis hit.
I know this because I worked at the tsunami epicenter where over 200,000 people died and Christians who I spoke with in a church where I ministered near the disaster told me this.
Sumulu island nearby (a predominately Christian island), now known as "miracle island" did not have a single soul perish in the tsunamis.
Surely God will protect His own and they who die as martyrs for Christ to hold true to their witness for Christ (Acts 1:8), shall get a standing ovation and the full attention of Jesus, who shall welcome them into heaven with open arms (Acts 7:51-60).
God is love and they who kill in His Name do not know God (John 16:1-3).

Health and Wellness Speaker: Is the Water You're Drinking Causing Illness and Slowly Killing You?
The American Dental Association, National Sanitation Foundation, American Water Works Association, National Research Council, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Center for Disease Control and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advocate and promote the dumping of an unregulated toxic waste by-product (industrial grade hydrofluosilicic acid) into municipal water supplies under the guise of a beneficial public health project.
Fluorosis is defined as: "Chronic fluorine poisoning, sometimes marked by mottling of the tooth enamel. Often results from too much fluoride in the drinking water."

If you have liver problems, skin rashes or a weak immune system - check your local water thoroughly.
Upon doing so, I discovered a history of contaminants from a former Navy Base in Orlando (not far from my home), where my grandparents shopped every Saturday morning (my Pop-Pop being a retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel).
Now known as "Baldwin Park" an upscale residential neighborhood for the middle to upper-middle class homes sell for big money thereon... I wonder how many know the contaminants their properties are built on?

Years ago, there was a blurb in the Orlando Sentinel stating that the newspaper was the #1 source for dumping hazardous material in the city storm-water system. Now that's what I call "giving back" to the community.
State: Sentinel May Be 1 Source Of Contaminant
By Mary Beth Regan Of The Sentinel Staff | September 5, 1992
After a review of conflicting studies, state officials say The Orlando Sentinel remains the likely source of one pocket of groundwater contamination in northern downtown Orlando.But the newspaper may not be the sole source, state environmental officials said Friday. There appears to be an older pocket of trichloroethene, or TCE, beneath Walkup Exterminating Inc., northwest of the Sentinel property, officials said.A letter from a Department of Environmental Regulation official says the Sentinel may be held responsible for cleaning one pocket of TCE at Orange Avenue and Colonial Drive.
Regulations Haven't Stopped Contamination, Experts Say
By Alex Beasley Of The Sentinel Staff | June 23, 1992
There is growing evidence that groundwater contamination from dry cleaners is not a problem that disappeared 15 or 20 years ago.Most experts believe that a combination of education and federal and state regulations enacted in the 1970s and 1980s ended most of the indiscriminate disposal of the dry-cleaning solvent perchloroethylene.But the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation is turning up cases of recent groundwater contamination from dry cleaners throughout the state. For example:- In south Orange County investigators have linked groundwater contamination to a dry cleaner that has been operating for several years.
5 Nasa Facilities May Go On Superfund Cleanup List
By Sean Holton Sentinel Washington Bureau | February 8, 1992
NASA is likely to land on the nation's worst-toxic-offender list because of environmental neglect and groundwater contamination at five of its far-flung field centers, according to a government report completed Friday.Years of hazardous waste pollution could make laboratories and research centers in California and Virginia the first NASA-owned sites targeted as Superfund projects, the General Accounting Office report stated.Two NASA sites - the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
This one below made me laugh at the intelligence of the EPA in "cleaning up" hazardous sites. Uh, yeah, clean the water and release the toxins in the air. Brilliant!
Epa, Harris Reach Accord For Cleanup In Palm Bay
November 20, 1991
The Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday it has reached a final agreement with Harris Corp. for the company to clean up groundwater contamination at its 500-acre site in Palm Bay.Since the groundwater contamination was first detected in 1981, Harris has spent $3.5 million to pump out the water, release the toxic chemicals into the air and then pump the water back into the ground. The severity of the contamination put the site on EPA's national priority list 1987.The ground water was contaminated by paints, solvents, oils and dyes in the 1960s before government regulations monitored disposal of toxic materials.
Cancer causing agents from the landfill to the water (read below). I wonder where all those cigarettes and trash people dump on the streets and highways go? Hmm, when it rains I'd guess into our lakes eventually. Nothing like drinking cancer infested water thanks to our filthy smokers.
Volusia Council Orders Probe Of Groundwater Contamination
By Craig Quintana Of The Sentinel Staff | April 5, 1991
The detection of a cancer-causing chemical in a monitoring well at Tomoka Landfill has triggered a probe into groundwater contamination at the dump.The Volusia County Council approved a $19,277 engineering study Thursday to determine the extent of the vinyl chloride contamination and its possible threat to the water supply.''It's our landfill,'' Council member Clay Henderson said. ''We have to act as quickly as we can.''Henderson admonished the county's public works department for not notifying the council and taking quick action in July, when the chemical was discovered.
This article below reminds me of all the kind hearted construction truck drivers (you know the one's driving trucks delivering stones, rocks, etc.) who DON'T bother to cover their trucks and drive 20 miles over the speed limit so you won't see their license plate as all their rocks fly on to and crack your windshield. Of course they deeply care or not? Obviously the latter. Can we expect any more from the rest of our constructions workers out to make a quick buck? I think not (read below).
Contaminated Soil Adds To Lake Apopka's Troubles
By Lisanne Renner of The Sentinel Staff | September 28, 1987
Polluted Lake Apopka has enough problems, what with fish kills and murky green water. It didn't help matters when a contractor dumped more than 50 truckloads of gasoline-contaminated dirt beside a stretch of lakeshore.Concerned that gasoline could seep into groundwater or run off into Lake Apopka, state and Orange County environmental agencies are testing the property for groundwater contamination.The truckloads of dirt came from a Gulf gas station in Winter Garden, where a crew replaced three leaky fiberglass tanks and hauled away gasoline- soaked soil.
Shallow Wells To Undergo Tests For Contamination
April 29, 2000
ORMOND BEACH - The county health department will canvass the Ormond Lakes subdivision next week to test shallow wells after groundwater contamination was found at a nearby business. County officials said there is no apparent health threat from contamination at 1281 North U.S. Highway 1, formerly the site of the World Color printing company. Tests have concluded there is petroleum, cyanide and metal contamination in soil and groundwater on the property. But it doesn't appear that the contamination has moved off the property, county environmental director Stephen Kintner said.

For several years, the property owned by the Orlando Utilities Commission has been vacant due mainly to TCE contamination issues.

Now that the above mentioned has accounted for my home city and many surrounding counties, what about yours?
I look forward to hearing your comments below and outcry against the pollution of our most sacred and precious resource paramount to our very survival.
With all the talk of healthcare, it seems our President might want to pull back the reigns on another war initiative and include our nation's contaminated water in the health care initiative.
Otherwise al-Qaeda won't need to attack us, as we with our environmental disregard, consumerism and capitalistic greed will kill ourselves.
