Everything you ever wanted to know about the G-Spot
Everything you ever wanted to know about the G-Spot
What is the G-Spot?
Unlike men, women can orgasm several different ways, via clitoral, vaginal, or G-Spot stimulation. Your partner may already climax fairly easily with clitoral stimulation or during intercourse. However, there is an area for stimulation inside her vagina called the G-Spot that you may not have found. Most people don't know about it. The G-Spot is a bean shaped mass of nerve tissue located about halfway between the back of the pubic bone and the top of the cervix. The G-Spot is the focal point of the female sexual arousal. The size and location of the G-Spot will vary from woman to woman, but it's usually about the size of a quarter, and lies two to three inches inside the vagina directly behind the pubic bone. You may be able to help her have added pleasure, experience new sensations, and perhaps have a new type of climax.
Where can I find the G-Spot?
The G-Spot is not easily located. Sometimes women have a hard time finding it and do not even believe they have one. Here is an easy method to finding it.

Where can I find the G-Spot?
The G-Spot is not easily located. Sometimes women have a hard time finding it and do not even believe they have one. Here is an easy method to finding it.
To explore this area, have your partner lie down, knees bent and feet flat on the bed, with a small pillow under her buttocks. Insert the length of your lubricated fingers into her vagina towards her navel. This will be about two inches inside the vagina. Press with one or two fingers against the front wall of her vagina. Because it's surrounded with tissue and is deep in the vaginal wall, you may want to apply a little more pressure than usual.
When you stimulate the right spot, it will swell the way your penis does. Slide your fingers from side to side. Have your partner tell you when you hit the right place. She will be able to tell. When you find the sensitive spot, continue stimulating it and you may find that it becomes firm and swells much like the erectile tissue in your penis.
How do I stimulate the G-Spot?
Now that you've found the G-Spot, kneeling between your partner's legs you can use the thumb of your other hand to gently stimulate her clitoris at the same time. This combination should give her very intense sensations. She may climax in this position, or you have the alternative of continuing in a different position.
If your partner turns over onto her back, you can stimulate her G-Spot most easily if you lie between her legs. Then try inserting two fingers and rub against the bottom of the vaginal opening, press upward with the tips of your fingers until you are pressing her G-Spot. Move your fingers from back and side to side. You can give her great pleasure by licking your partners clitoris and stimulating her G-Spot at the same time.
Another method is to have your partner lie on her belly with her legs spread apart and her hips slightly elevated. Insert your fingers with your palm down, into her vagina and explore the front wall. Have your partner move her pelvis to make contact with your fingers. As you feel your partner become more aroused, slip the other hand under her abdomen above her pubic hairs and slowly press.
What else is important about the g-spot?
Many women enjoy the "doggy" position during intercourse because it stimulates the G-Spot. This is because a man's penis has better access to the front wall of the vagina. Most women need firmer pressure to the front of the vagina, quick rhythm,and a lot of friction to have a G-Spot orgasm.
Some women get a feeling of the need to urinate at first when the G-Spot is stimulated. Your partner may need to empty her bladder before you begin love making.
It's possible that by stimulating the G-Spot your partner may ejaculate a small amount of white or clear fluid when she climaxes.

commentary
The problem between men and woman that men are just into getting satisfied and not satisfying their mates. They do not want to take time to find out how.
It's a shame becuse most men will never find out what kind of sex they will have if they only asked or slow down to find out. They both could be satisfied not just once but every time they had sex.

Have you seen a merical today
Have you seen your miracle today?
by Tamar Sofer
Everyone loves a miracle. I've noticed the multitude of new books on small miracles, large miracles, everyday miracles, unseen miracles, and miracles from heaven. Miracles imply that something powerful overrides the natural order of the world. Best of all, a miracle says, we are worth a miracle.
To me, miracles show that someone is definitely in charge here.
Perhaps we do not see miracles anymore. That's why we are publishing so many books on the subject. We need convincing now.
We go about our busy, daily business -- shopping, deadlines, baseball practices -- and we forget to see outside the lines
My husband, a laser physicist, tells me that scientists who study particle physics are more likely to become religious. Scientists are notoriously hard to convince of anything. Yet, when these skeptical scientists see the perfect, natural order of the world, they decide nano and up, that this world was planned. The marvelous design before them becomes the miracle they need to become convinced.
Why then do we need a miracle? Perhaps we do not see the lovely patterns that particle physicists see up close. We go about our busy, daily business -- shopping, deadlines, and baseball practices -- and we forget to see outside the lines. We simply do not notice. Star Trek movies depicted virtual food, but eons before that, the Manna in the Sinai desert had the capability to taste the way the Jews wanted it to, whether it was a charbroiled steak or a piece of brioche. We had to ponder what form the Manna should take before taking that first bite. It was all in the mind, not the software.
Entire spiritual movements have been built around mindfulness, or experiencing the present moment. Staying in the moment is important for prayer; still, when I tried to focus and stay in the moment most the time, I felt unsettled, as if I was stuck in a one-dimensional world. And although many people are leading fulfilling, purposeful lives, they still ask, "Is that all there is to life?". It may well be that when we do not see miracles, we have a vague recognition that something is lacking. What are we missing? How about, everything that happened previously to us?
I look back and see that when my mother died, my aunt moved into place and became the best mother in the world. I look back and see that after 11 years of grueling infertility treatments, the path my son took to his parents became the miracle. Those years taught my husband and me that, as a team, we could accomplish our miracle. And I look back once more and see how I was given the gift of more time. My cancer was found before it inflicted the damage it did to my mother and grandmother, all of us carriers of the dreaded BRCA gene mutation.
I look back and see how, although I was brought to the brink, God held out his finger and I grasped it tightly as he heaved me out of the pit, and handed me my miracle. I see patterns, beautiful, logical patterns that can work with or against the natural order of life. The acknowledgement of those patterns in my life brought me to believe in miracles.
You do not have to be a particle physicist to see miracles. We Jews continuously recount the miracles that led to our nationhood. The splitting of the Red Sea is part of the Jewish national history. This national memory helps Jews believe in miracles, and develop a stronger relationship with God.
We look back and recognize the miracles in our lives. We are very grateful they found us. And then we can look forward, and start creating a world in which miracles are able to flourish. Perhaps, when we all see miracles, these miracles will become part of the natural order of our lives

A true Hypocrite Rush Limbaugh
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - April 28, 2006 - Rush Limbaugh and prosecutors in the long-running painkiller fraud case against him have reached a deal calling for the only charge against the conservative commentator to be dropped if he continues treatment, his attorney said Friday.
Limbaugh was booked on a single charge that was filed Friday, said Teri Barbera, a spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Jail. He left about an hour later, after Limbaugh was photographed and fingerprinted and he posted $3,000 bail, Barbera said.
The radio giant's agreement to enter a diversionary program ends a three-year state investigation that began after Limbaugh publicly acknowledged being addicted to pain medication and entered a rehabilitation program.
Prosecutors accuse him of "doctor shopping," or illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping prescriptions. They learned that he received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, at a pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion.
Limbaugh pleaded not guilty Friday to a charge of fraud to conceal information to obtain prescriptions. Though he steadfastly denies doctor shopping, the charge will be dismissed in 18 months if Limbaugh complies with court guidelines, his lawyer Roy Black said.
"Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and we continue to hold this position," Black said in an e-mailed statement.
Limbaugh spokesman Tony Knight said the commentator signed the agreement Thursday, and that it called for him to enter the not guilty plea. "It's not in the system moving toward trial. It was all a formality. It's a concluded deal," Knight said.
Mike Edmondson, a spokesman for the state attorney's office, said prosecutors had not yet received the signed agreement.
"I am not disputing the facts, the conditions that Black represented, but until his client signed the agreement, we don't have a full agreement," Edmondson said. "I am sure it's just a timeline issue."
He refused to comment further.
As a primary condition of the dismissal, Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past 2½ years, Black said. Among other provisions, he also has agreed to pay the state $30,000 to defray its investigative costs, Black said.
After 18 months, "He will not have any criminal record," Black said.
Black refused to say whether he considered the case a victory.
Limbaugh "feels that a great burden has been lifted from his shoulders," Black said. "What he told me is that this is the first day of the rest of his life."
The warrant alleges that sometime between February and August 2003, Limbaugh withheld information from a medical practitioner from whom he sought to obtain a controlled substance or a prescription for a controlled substance.
Prosecutors began investigating Limbaugh in 2003 after the National Enquirer reported his housekeeper's allegations that he had abused OxyContin and other painkillers. He soon took a five-week leave from his radio show to enter a rehabilitation program and acknowledged he had become addicted to pain medication. He blamed it on severe back pain.
"The agreement that we entered into makes good common sense," Black said. "The idea is to help the person overcome the addiction ... There should be a recognition that people like Rush really should not be prosecuted."
Before his own problems became public, Limbaugh had decried drug use and abuse and mocked President Clinton for saying he had not inhaled when he tried marijuana. He often made the case that drug crimes deserve punishment.
"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995.
Prosecutors seized Limbaugh's medical records after learning about the painkillers he had received at the Palm Beach pharmacy. The investigation was held up as the prosecutors and Black battled in court over whether the records were properly seized.
Limbaugh reported five years ago that he had lost most of his hearing because of an autoimmune inner-ear disease. He had surgery to have an electronic device placed in his skull to restore his hearing. But research shows that abusing opiate-based painkillers also can cause profound hearing loss.

A true Hypocrite
This right wing asshole was the first to say put all the drug users and dealer away in jail for the rest of the lives. Get them off the street; the world would be better without them. The are the venom of society. Now that
he was caught taking prescription drugs it is a whole new ball game. He pleads to the charge and walks; all he has to do is sign a paper. Theses are prescription s drugs as he said drugs are drugs. If he can get off so easily then so should everyone else that is a first time offender. What’s good for Rush Is good for the USA according to - Rush Limbaugh. This is one thing Rush Limbaugh and I can agree on.

Allen's Story
Allen's Story
My cousin Allen Staller who has become a paraplegic in August 2005. He was wadding in the Atlantic Ocean down at Atlantic City. It was his first vacation in years. Little did he know that it would be his last?
The under toe was strong that day, there was a storm further down the cost. He was hit by a small wave that knock him down, while he tried to get up a stronger and larger wave hit him knocking him down again. It would be that last time he would get to his feet. For those who are around the Philadelphia area, he is now in Moss Rehabilitation center trying to get his upper body movement back aging so he could at least feed himself and get around in a wheelchair. He is doing better but has a long and expensive way to go. In the future I would like to add a link for tax free donation not just for him but for all people with spaniel injuries.
Please be careful when you or your love one's go into rough waters, I would not like to see any person or family go through what Allen is going through now just because of a wave.
The story as Allen tells it
I was injured in an accident on August 2, 2005. While at the shore in Atlantic City, I was hit by a wave from behind as I stood knee deep in the ocean water. The impact of a second wave flipped me and threw me to the bottom where I hit the bridge of his nose.
On impact I was immediately paralyzed while face down in the water. A nearby man pulled me out of the water which saved me from drowning. On Sunday. August 7, I went into respiratory difficulty as well as full paralysis due to swelling around the spinal cord. An emergency tracheotomy was done bedside, and I was placed on a respirator.
My brother had me transferred to Jefferson University Medical center from the Atlantic City Hospital on August 8, 2005. After an immediate MRI, the diagnosis of torn anterior ligaments between C4 and CS with a partial subjugation (dislocation) of the spinal cord was made. The next day I was taken into surgery where a surgical tracheotomy and posterior fusion of the cord was completed. The following week the fusion was again done, this time from the anterior area. I remained at Jefferson Hospital i9n Philadelphia for approximately 8 weeks before being transferred to Magee Rehabilitation. After a few days there I was rushed back to Jefferson with a urinary tract infection and pneumonia. I remained at Jefferson for approximately 3 more weeks. as his bed at Magee was utilized for someone else after 2 weeks had passed.
In Early December, I again went to Magee Rehabilitation for therapy. I remained there until late January when his insurance would no longer cover it due to the lack of progress being made by me. In December an application for Inglis House was summited. This is a long term care facility which specializes in wheelchair bound individuals. There they train the people to make the most use they can of their limbs. as well as give intensive therapy to help them regain as much use of their extremities as is possible. This enables them to become functioning individuals whenever possible. Unfortunately the waiting list for this facility is 12 to 15 months long.
Since I could not get in at this time, the social worker at Magee found placement at Andorra Woods Healthcare Facility. They have done their best with me to their ability but they do not have the technical expertise or physical facilities to help me. It is a nursing home not a Rehabilitation facility.
In conclusion
This is the plight of many people who become paraplegic. There is no help for them even with insurance. Steam cell may help them in the future but they need help now! My cousin was a healthy strong 54 year old man, now he lives in pain every day of his life. He depends upon others strangers to help him do everything but this does not have to be.

Empty Promises
Bush is at it again
His speech April 24/06
Bush said the Federal Trade Commission, the Justice Department and the Energy Department were investigating whether the price of gasoline has been unfairly manipulated. The administration also contacted all 50 state attorneys general to offer technical assistance to urge them to investigate possible illegal price manipulation within their jurisdictions.
During the last few days, Bush asked his Energy and Justice departments to open inquiries into whether the price of gasoline has been illegally manipulated.
It's unclear what impact, if any, Bush's investigation would have on prices that are near or at $3 a gallon or more. Asked if Bush had any reason to suspect market manipulation, White House press secretary Scott McClellan responded, "Well, gas prices are high right now, and that's why you want to make sure there's not."
The administration sent letters Tuesday to state attorneys general urging them to vigorously enforce state law "against any anticompetitive, anticonsumer conduct in the petroleum industry."
"Consumers around the nation have expressed concerns about what they have perceived as anticompetitive or otherwise unfair conduct by the world's major oil companies," said Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. Their letter said federal agencies had substantially increased efforts to monitor, detect and prevent any violations of the law.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., urged Bush in a letter Monday to order a federal investigation into any gasoline price gouging or market speculation.
"There is no silver bullet," Frist said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America," but "we need to make sure that any efforts at price-gouging be addressed and addressed aggressively." Meanwhile, Frist said, consumers should take steps to conserve gasoline - drive at slower speeds, tune up car engines for maximum efficiency and carpool.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada dispatched his own letter, calling for a multi-pronged approach to restrain gas prices.
Commentary
Now do you really think that bush and the political leaders are going to hurt their buddies and themselves. Remember last year when gas hit $3.00 a gallon, the same things was said back then and what happen? Nothing, absolutely nothing and that is what will happen again. When gas goes down it will all be forgotten? That’s our fault. We forget we as a whole have the power to do something. Look back at the 60’s and what was accomplished when we screamed loud enough to make our dear politicians listen. We still can do it know.
I would like to know where the hell are all the people who get up and scream ever election year we must fix what’s wrong. Like good old Ralph Nader where is he? Why haven’t we heard from him and people like him. Jessie Jackson, this hurts his people even worst than the whites. We have a special prosecutor for everything else why not for this? No one on capital hill what’s us to know, that’s why. The fact is that too many heads would roll starting with our President.
In closing I have to remark about the stupid email that is going around.
"We should all boycott Gas station."
Sure and not go to work so we will all go broke. Maybe not go anywhere on the weekends. Great that would only hurt our economy even more. That is almost as good as when Opera and others were telling everyone to stay off airplanes right after 911. That means the terrorist win and the airplane industry will go bankrupt. That’s what almost happens. So before you listen to what anyone’s telling you to do, think about what it will do to all of us, not just the gas companies or the few rich that control our economy.

Why haven’t we heard from him and people like him. Jessie Jackson, this hurts his people even worst than the whites. We have a special prosecutor for everything else why not for this? No one on capital hill what’s us to know, that’s why. The fact is that too many heads would roll starting with our President.
In closing I have to remark about the stupid email that is going around.
"We should all boycott Gas station."
Sure and not go to work so we will all go broke. Maybe not go anywhere on the weekends. Great that would only hurt our economy even more. That is almost as good as when Opera and others were telling everyone to stay off airplanes right after 911. That means the terrorist win and the airplane industry will go bankrupt. That’s what almost happens. So before you listen to what anyone’s telling you to do, think about what it will do to all of us, not just the gas companies or the few rich that control our economy.

New pills for our gas pain at the pump
New Pill Promises to Save You Money at the PumpApril 11, 2006 - The price of gasoline is expected to rise even higher this summer. The cost per gallon could be a quarter higher compared to a year ago. Action News has found a PILL that promises to make you feel better at the pump.
"I remember when gas was 99-cents."
But the average price for gas today is two-dollars and 70-cents! That's about an 18-percent jump in just two months!
Celeste Thompson/Mount Airy: "Gas prices are outrageous. They really are. They're just too high."
"It stinks."
If you're sick over climbing gas prices, Action News may have found the perfect prescription. A pill claims to save you 10, 20, 30 percent or more on fuel! A package of 10 MPG, or miles per gallon, caps will cost you 19.95 The company, Fuel Freedom International calls the MPG-caps a revolutionary new solid fuel treatment. It claims the pills increase gas mileage by breaking fuel down to its molecular level so that it is presented to the combustion chamber in a much finer mist.
"Do you think it's going to work?"
"I don't know. We'll find out."
Action News asked Tom McLaughlin, the manager of AAA's Mid-Atlantic auto repair division, to help us test it out. Tom uses a scan gauge to get the gas mileage for our test.
"This will tell us the miles per gallon at any particular moment you care to look at it right down to the tenth of a mile per gallon."
We drive on highways and byways to get our base mileage for comparison. Then it's time for the real test.
"All right. You ready to try this?"
"Yes, I'm ready to try this."
"Okay. Here we go."
"Let's put the pill in."
"Here we go with the pill."
The MPG-caps are supposed to make consumers feel better. But yes, your car does the swallowing.
According to the pill's marketers, just insert it into your fuel tank before you fill up. One caplet is good for 20 gallons of gas.
We put in one caplet and go for a spin. So is this pill the miracle cure for the high gas prices ailing so many consumers? Check out the results.
We see a four percent increase in gas mileage while going 65 miles per hour. But no difference at 34 miles per hour. When we tell the company about our results, it suggests we put in four pills and try the test again. We did and saw no improvement in gas mileage at either speed.
Tom McLaughlin/AAA: "I didn't see anything approaching any of the claims for 10, 20 or 30 percent improvement in mileage, no."
Tom says he isn't surprised. He's also tested many other products that claim to boost gas mileage.
"But in my experience in the past, none of these products have worked in any significant way."
The MPG-caps brochure says the product is EPA registered. But that only means the product is safe for the environment. The EPA has not validated whether the product actually works.
The company tells us you might have to run 5 or 6 tanks of gas before the pills begin to work. For tips on how to improve your car's gas mileage without

The promise of return from exile
Last week we dealt with the anomaly that the Jews have been the most hated and persecuted people throughout history, yet have paradoxically been a Light Unto The Nations and have helped civilize the world - and that both phenomena were prophesied!
We also dealt with the Torah prophecy that the land will be barren and only produce when Jews lived there, though in the natural course of the world the land should have produced for subsequent dwellers. And now to our final prophecy in the "Seven Wonders of Jewish History" - that the Jews will be dispersed to the four corners of the world to eventually return to the Land of Israel...
7. RETURN FROM EXILE
It has been prophesied in the Torah that Jews would be exiled from the land and that they would return to the land:
"And it shall come to pass when these things shall come upon you, the blessing and the curse that I have placed before you, you will take it to heart amongst all of the nations where God has scattered you; you will return to the Lord your God and you will listen to His voice according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your children with all of your heart and with all of your soul. Then the Almighty will bring back your captivity and have mercy upon you; and He will return and gather you from among all of the nations where he has dispersed you. If your dispersed ones will be even at the ends of the heavens, from there God Almighty will gather you and from there He will take you. And God your Lord will bring you to the land that your fathers inherited and you shall inherit it and He will do good for you and make you more numerous than your forefathers." (Deuteronomy 30:1-5)
No other people has ever gone into exile and survived for thousands of years to come back to reestablish a national homeland. The return of the Jews from exile to the Land of Israel was nothing short of a miracle.
CONCLUSION
When we look at Jewish history, we see a history where the Jewish people have defied the laws of nature and the laws of history! We have survived and impacted this world - though we have been thrown out of our land not once, but twice! We have impacted the world perhaps more than any other people in history - the concepts of the value of human life, universal education, justice and equality, the importance of and goal of world peace (as opposed to glorifying war), the importance of a strong stable family as a basis for a moral foundation for society, individual and national responsibility for the world - though we were beaten, killed and exiled from one nation to the next. Though few in number and spread to the four corners of the earth, we survived as a people, never assimilating into anonymity. Even our land, the Land of Israel, defied the laws of nature, only fertile when the Jewish people inhabited it.
Coincidence? Good luck? A roll of the dice? Perhaps - except that each and every phenomena was prophesied and predicted in the Torah hundreds and thousands of years before the events. Does it make you think that perhaps something is going on here? That perhaps there is a special relationship between the Almighty and the Jewish people?
The Almighty, the Jewish people and the Torah are intertwined. In the past 3,300 years there has been effort after effort - from within as well as from without - to redefine and redirect our people. Each and every one has failed. If you wonder why, then perhaps the time has come to read the Torah and find out (I highly recommend the Art scroll Stone edition of the Torah) - and perhaps also Permission to Receive and Permission to Believe by Kelemen (all are available at your local Jewish bookstore, at judaicaenterprises.com or by calling toll-free to 877-758-3242). The Torah is not only our heritage; it is the game plan for the Jewish people and the world! By RABBI KALMAN PACKOUZ

The Prophecy of the Jewish People
This is for all my Jewish and none Jewish friends
The Prophecy category of evidence that demonstrates that there is a God and that He gave the Torah. I presented four prophecies:
1. that the Jewish people will be eternal, though
2. we will be few in number, and
3. scattered to the four corners of the earth, and that
4. the host nations were ultimately inhospitable to us.
This week, 2 more prophecies!
One would think, if the Jewish people were so reviled that we would be persecuted and killed, we would have little impact upon those nations persecuting and killing us. Yet, the Torah prophesies that we will be:
5. A LIGHT UNTO THE NATIONS
"I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You shall become a blessing. And I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you. Through you all the communities of the earth shall be blessed." (Genesis 12:2-3)
The prophet Isaiah (42:6) states:
"I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand and keep you. And I will establish you as a covenant of the people, for a light unto the nations."
Despite our small numbers, the Jewish People seem to occupy a disproportionate place as a focus of world attention. As Mark Twain wrote of the Jew:
"He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning, are also way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers."
Despite being the most hated people, few in number and dispersed across the globe, Jews are the most influential people the world has known. Jews are responsible for the idea of ethical monotheism and the absolute moral standard that comes from a belief in one God.
Before the Jews, the ancient world thought that infanticide was morally correct (even Aristotle wrote in favor of it.) Before the Jews came along, the world thought that "might was right."
It was the Jewish people that gave the world the ideas of respect for life, peace, equality, justice, love of neighbor, social responsibility, and holiness of human purpose.
Today, on the wall outside the United Nations, the hope of the world is emblazoned, using the words of the Jewish prophet Isaiah:
"And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, nations shall not lift up sword against nations. Neither shall they learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)
6. INTERDEPENDENCE OF THE NATION AND THE LAND
It has been prophesied in the Torah that the land of Israel was rich and fertile while the Jews were living there:
"I have come down to rescue them from Egypt's power. I will bring them out of that land, to a good, spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey..." (Exodus 3:8)
And when they were exiled, it would become barren and desolate:
"So devastated will I leave the land that your enemies who live there will be astonished... Your land will remain desolate, and your cities in ruins." (Leviticus 26:32-33)
During the two thousand years of Israel's exile from its Land, numerous empires have conquered the Land and countless wars were fought for its possession. And yet, astonishingly, no conqueror ever succeeded in permanently settling the Land or causing the deserts to blossom.
Mark Twain, who visited Israel in 1867, describes the Land of Israel:
"We traversed some miles of desolate country whose soil is rich enough but is given wholly to weeds - A silent, mournful expanse... A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action. The further we went the hotter the sun got and the more rocky and bare, repulsive and dreary the landscape became." ("The Innocents Abroad" Vol. II)
The "land of milk and honey" turning into a desert is a phenomenon unique in the annals of history. Now that the Jews are returning to the Land, it once again has begun to bloom!

The Question Why
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?
Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
!
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string! a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE......
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you

(1 800 373 3411) without incurring a 411 charge. I saw this on TV so it is true.
I think the fee for calling information is unconscionable so I'm delighted to pass this on.
This is the kind of message people shouldn't mind receiving, so pass it on.

Wake Up America
Contents sad but true:
POEM - Illegal Immigrants
I cross the ocean, poor and broke,
Take a bus and see employment .
Nice man treats me good out there, Say I need to go see Welfare.
Welfare say, you come no more, we will send cash to your door."
Welfare checks, they make you wealthy. Medicaid that will keep you healthy!
Thanks to you, TAXPAYER dummy.
Write to friends in motherland. Tell them 'come, fast as you can'.
They come in turbans and Ford trucks and buy big house with welfare bucks.
They come here to live together, more welfare checks, it gets better! Fourteen families they moving in, But neighbor's patience are wearing thin.
Finally, white guy moves away, I buy his house, and then I say. More aliens
for house to rent." In my yard I put a tent. Send for family to come and stay so they can draw welfare checks and enjoy life on taxpayer pay.
Everything is very good, Soon we own the whole neighborhood.
We have hobby it called breeding. Welfare pay’s for babies feeding.
Kids need dentist.Wife need pills? We get them all free! We got no bills!
TAXPAYER crazy! He pay all year to keep welfare running here.
We think Canada/America too. Darn good place! Too darn good for white man race.
If they no like us, they can scram, Got lots of room in Pakistan.
These words above aren’t mine but I do Feel that we have to do something about all the Illegal Immigrants that just flow into this country without being watched. I know a lot of you would disagree with me and say that our grandparents came over years ago and no one watched them. Well you are right and wrong. My grandparent’s were stopped at Liberty Island and register there before the stepped one foot on the main land of the U.S.A. After that the went on their way but they were all registered. We should do the same now as we did then. If a person coming form another country to live ,work, or go to school here does not want to register they are hiding something.

It's been a busy week at the White House. President Bush has a new chief of staff. His press secretary resigned. One of his top advisers is getting a new assignment. And he's defending his choice to keep Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on board. Personnel decisions are hot in Washington right now, and on Tuesday, Bush declared "I decide what is best" when it comes to Rumsfeld. Does he make the "best" choices on personnel and policy?
Do you really want this man to decide what’s best for this country? Look at his tract record. He has no idea of what he is saying let alone of what to do. We are the laughing stock of the world because of him. We also have all the Muslum world hating us because of his actions. It’s scary to think that this man will be making decisions for us for then next 2 ½ years. Hold on to your hats it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Who knows what teh ehll he will do or say next.

Lesson Of life
Lesson Of life
One thing I have learn in my 56 years, that nothing is permanent. Everything is only here and yours for a short while so we might as well enjoy everything we have in life and not take it for granted
The Bad
Things you take for granted in life: Your wife, parents, friends and other family members can be taken away from you in a split second.
I have three very dear friends that I care about deeply. I'm afraid that two of them are headed for an early grave.
One of my very close friends since I was 13 years old had throat cancer. He had an operation that cured him but he has gone back to smoking which will kill him. I can't express enough to him what he is doing to me, his family, wife and kids. His children are young enough to feel his death for the rest of their lives. He blames everyone but himself for the position he is in. He will not do his exercise to strengthen the muscles in his throat. Four months after his operation he still isn’t eating solid foods. There's nothing anyone can do for him if he won’t listen, so I am getting myself ready for the day of his death, as ready as I can get.
My second friend has always been a good friend to me. Always there when I needed someone. Now she has a tumor in her brain that keeps growing and cannot be operated on. I feel terrible that I can not help her. All I can do is be there for her, but that is not enough for me. It will have to do. She, unlike my other friend, would do anything to have a chance for a normal life again. But that is not in the cards for her. The only thing she can look forward is death but she still goes on strong like nothing is wrong. My first friend should take lesson from her.
My cousin was just getting his life on track when it all fell apart. He took a vacation down in Atlantic City. It would be the last vacation he would every take. Two waves hit him and knocked him on his face against the sandy bottom and paralyzed him for life. This was Aug 2,2005 to this date he still has not gained full use of his arms ,hands, legs or any other part of his body. He has ended up in a nursing homewhic is the worst place for a quadriplegic. They are not trained to handle his needs. He needs to be worked on at least three times a week with different exercises to strengthen his muscles. Everyday he does not receive this help, is a day that he will never be better. If we do not get him out of there soon or get him the help he needs he will always be a quad. That is a horrible way of living. He has to depend on strangers to help him with everything. Just think how you would feel to be in his shoes. There are plenty of Allen’s out there. We all better take a stand to help them because each and everyone of us could be them. There before God goes I.
Another dear friend was just diagnosed with cancer. We don’t know how bad it is. Hopefully it is the beginning stages where it can be caught and cured quickly. She is a person that it always there for others never caring for herself. This may sound bitter I will be curious to see how many of her friends go out of their way for her. I know my wife and I will. We love her.
The GOOD
My wife, I thank G-D for her. Every day I get up and she is there under the covers and every day the first thing out of her mouth is how you feel. She asked me that because I suffer with real bad allergies. She has brought light in to a dark existence. Even though my daughter was my light I needed more in my life. My wife brought that with her. She is what I had been asking for all my life and I finally feel complete. She is the humor the joy, support and love I have longed for. Thank you G-D for this gift of all gifts. I promise not to take it in vain and to treat her with all the love and respect she deserves
My daughter: She was always my greatest joy in my life, Throughout my whole life even though we had our moments. I loved her with all my heart and soul. She always made me proud to be her father even thought she didn't think so. Your were the one steady thing in my life when I needed happiness. When I needed to laugh you always made me laugh. Just stay the way you are. There is nothing you can do that will make me feel different.
Now my daughter has given my wife and me two wonderful grandchildren and the third on the way. She truly is my joy in life.
My mother who always stood by me no matter what I put her through and trust me, I put her through hell. From stealing a car to cutting school, stealing money from her wallet and other items from the house. I also moved in with my father only several blocks away, only because she wouldn't let me do what I wanted. Through everything she always stood by me and encouraged me to do my best. She married a man that would end up being my dad not just a father. Anyone can father a child as they say it takes a special man to be a dad. Ben was that Dad my one and only. Through him I have learn a lot of important lesson. I only wish I could be half the man he was. Mom, you did a great job raising all three of us and better job of choosing a real dad for us to emulate.
In closing, I have to admit that all the Good and Bad in our lives they're there for a reason to teach us all life lessons. To make us better in our life and to give us something to look back on and pull from in the future.
It is said the G-D will not give us more that we can handle. Sometimes I agree and others times I question it. But who am I to question G-D?

I don't understand
This whole country was up in arms over a President getting a little extra at the White House. I feel that was an issue between the family not America. If we only knew what our dear President Kennedy did in the same white house would we have not complained as much back then? This country was more forgiving at that time. There hasn't been a time in history that a sitting President didn't have a affair.
Yet. we have a president in office that is leading us down a path of destruction with his own self centered agenda. He has gotten us in a war that we will never win and that we can't pull out of. He did this just to prove a point. That's what you call a dangerous man and no one is calling for him to be impeached. Not even after he leaked stories that could have had someone killed. Someone who did not agree with him. Mr Bush should of never become president of anything let alone the USA. Here is a man that everything he has touched has turned to crap. His oil business, his baseball team. Daddy had to bail him out. Well daddy can't bail him out of this one. The people of the United States of America will and it will cost us plenty.

Herb Krantz at Artman Art Show
Artist Bio Herb A Krantz
• Around age 50 I started to appreciate art again. A friend of ours (Bill Campbell) introduced me to art auctions. Bill Campbell had awakened my love of art. Five years ago I started going to art auctions at Park West Galleries, first on their cruise ships and then at their land auctions. I now, have 30 pieces of art in my collection. The artists that inspired me to start my journey into the world art was Anatole Krasnyansky, Dali, De kooning, Jackson Pollack and Peter Max, whom I had the brief pleasure of meeting. You will find that a lot of my art contains cartoon type carters. This type of art was my way of expressing myself when I first started as a child. Even now in most of my early paintings, I couldn’t pass up the chance to add some kind of face or cartoon, however lately I have gone towards abstract art. My backgrounds are a mixture of techniques with different blends of color and paints. I will use brushes, knives, rollers or anything I can get my hands on. I have no real formal training; however I have attended several art classes in the past four years and entered several shows.
EDUCATION:
• The first class I attended was on “How to Draw in 2001. It was a night class that was held at Upper Dublin High School in Dresher Pa. The teacher was a local published artist by the name of Mike Swede. In 2002 and 2003, I attended watercolor classes that were held at Tammont Park Art Center. The art teacher was a very well known artist named Joan Feiss. Joan was known not only around Montgomery County but in Bucks and Philadelphia Counties as well as Cape May and other shore towns. In 2004 and2005 I attended Classes at Mercer County Community College at the Artworks in Trenton N.J. The teacher was Michael Madigan. He was a well travel artist with several shows. This October I have started another class on how to draw with Barbra Lewis that is held at Mixed Media’s art Gallery.
Art Shows
• My first show was in 2002 at Tammont Park Art Center. My second show was held at Artman Community Center in 2003. I placed six works in that show. I was asked to place several pieces at the Artworks show in 2005 but I couldn’t due to being out of town that week.
• I have sold several pieces privately through the net on an artist web site www.yessy.com I was also commissioned to create a special work using special colors for a bedroom.
• This November my art will be displayed at Artman Community Center art show again. I am also working to place several pieces of art in local galleries

Can you Believe it!!? Bush #1 Asshole
Our dear old president is at it again, this time he has lost his mind (what little he had), altogether. Maybe he is hitting the bottle again. How can he forget what the Arab counties have done to us especially this country in general. They support the terrorist's cause in every aspect as they pretend to be our friends.
On top of everything, he makes a statement that a foreign country owns half of the company that runs the ports now. The difference, stupid, is that it was Great Britain who is our ally, not enemy.
This President is going to set us back so far that we will never see the light of day for generations to come no matter who becomes president after him. He should be put out to pasture like they do with all animals that have lost it. I can't believe that the majority of you voted this moron into office again. Maybe now you see the mistake you have made for all of us.
