REMEMBERING 911
SOME INTERESTING ASPECTS OF NUMBER 11
The
number 11 has taken on some very interesting aspects. What do you
think? Is this a forced coincidence? You decide!
In
any case, this is interesting.
New York City has 11 letters.
Afghanistan
has 11 letters.
Ramsin
Yuseb, the name of the terrorist, who threatened the Twin Towers
in 1993, has 11 letters.
George
W. Bush has 11 letters. Could this be a mere coincidence?
Even more interesting ...
New York is the 11th State in the Union.
The
first plane crashing into New York's Twin Towers was Flight 11.
Flight
11 was carrying 92 passengers. Adding this number, 9+2 = 11.
Flight
77, which also hit the Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. Adding
this, 6+5 = 11.
The
tragedy happened on September 11, or 9/11. Adding this, 9+1+1 =
11.
The
date equals the emergency number 911. Adding this, 9+1+1 = 11.
Now
for a very upsetting aspect.
The total number of victims inside the planes ... 254. 2+5+4 = 11.
The
day, September 11, is day number 254 of the calendar year: 2+5+4
= 11.
After
September 11, there are 111 more days of the year.
The
tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also equals 11: 3+1+1+2+4 = 11.
The
tragedy in Madrid happened 911 days after the tragedy of the Twin
Towers. Again ... 9+1+1 = 11. Spooky?
Read
on!
This is really something to think about!
An Eagle
typically symbolizes America. Maybe Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden
should have read up on their Islamic passages. The following verse
is taken from the Quran.
Quran
(9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome
Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands
of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still
more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of
Allah; and there was peace. Note the verse number!

Helpful Hints For Using Newspaper
Newspaper,
by design, is a very absorbent product, because it has to absorb
ink. But that also means it can absorb all sorts of moisture, including
moisture and the resulting odors found in shoes, in vegetable drawers,
and elsewhere.
Use your Newspaper to:
1. Deodorize food containers. Stuff a balled-up piece of newspaper
into a lunch box or thermos, seal it, and let sit overnight.
2. Ripen tomatoes. Wrap them individually and leave them out at
room temperature.
3. Pack delicate items. Wrap frames and figurines with several pieces
of newspaper, then crumple the remaining sections to fill extra
space in the box.
4. Wipe away tough streaks on glass. Use newspaper with cleaning
fluid to clean mirrors and windows.
5. Preserve antique glass. Some older frames have finishes on the
glass that can be damaged by cleaning solutions. Remove smudges
by rubbing with newspaper dipped in a solution of one part white
vinegar and one part warm water. Let air-dry.
6. Dry shoes. Place crumpled paper in them overnight.
7. Wrap gifts. Use the comics to wrap a child’s birthday gift,
or try the wedding announcements for an engagement gift.
8. Create a home for slushy snow boots. During the winter, keep
a pile of newspaper near the entryway. When your little snowmen
and snowwomen come home, they can toss their winter wear onto the
newspaper instead of creating puddles on the floor.
9. Prepare a garden. In the fall, mow a patch of lawn to make room
for a dedicated bed. Cover it with four layers of newspaper, then
a four-inch layer of shredded leaves or bark mulch. Hose it down.
Come spring, the compost blanket will have smothered the grass roots,
and the bed will be primed for planting.
10. Keep the refrigerator vegetable drawer dry and free of smells.
Line the bottom with newspaper.
WILL
U.S. INVADE PAKISTAN?
Q.
What will the United States do?
A. It will play defense against Al Qaeda in the United States and
Saudi Arabia. It will threaten Iran with war if Iran aids Al Qaeda.
Most important, the United States will have to invade northwestern
Pakistan. There are plans for this already. In addition, if Pakistan
collapses due to an invasion, the United States and India will have
to jointly occupy Pakistan. The end game is in Pakistan. More

WHERE
ARE WE GOING WITH ENTITLEMENTS
I
think the vast differences in compensation between victims of the
September 11 casualty and those who die serving the country in Uniform
are profound. No one is really talking about it either, because
you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11.
Well,
I just can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really
disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country. If you
lost a family member in the September 11 attack, you're going to
get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of
$250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million.
If
you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed
in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit,
half of which is taxable. Next, you get $1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving
spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment
of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18,
those payments come to a screeching halt.
Keep in mind that some of the people who are getting an average
of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not
enough. Their deaths were tragic, but for most, they were simply
in the wrong place at the wrong time. Soldiers put themselves in
harms way FOR ALL OF US, and they and their families know the dangers.
We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the
Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the
same deal that the September 11 families are getting. In addition
to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are
now asking for compensation as well.
You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and
parcel of over 50 years of entitlement politics in this country.
It's just really sad. Every time a pay raise comes up for the military,
they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine
is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive
on food stamps and live in low-rent housing. Make sense?
However,
our own U.S. Congress just voted themselves a raise, and many of
you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one time to
receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per month, and most
are now equal to being millionaires plus. They also do not receive
Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into
the system.
If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out
as an E-7, you may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the
very people who placed you in harm's way receive a pension of $15,000
per month.
I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join
ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for
our sons and daughters who are now fighting.
When do we finally do something about this?

HAVING
ONE OF THOSE DAYS?
ZEN READ THIS ...
It's always darkest before dawn. So if
you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time
to do it.
Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be
replaced, you can't be promoted.
Never test the depth of the water with
both feet.
If you think nobody cares if you're alive,
try missing a couple of car payments.
Before you criticize someone, you should
walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're
a mile away and you have their shoes.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving
is not for you.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a
day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink
beer all day.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that
person again, it was probably worth it.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to
remember anything.
Some days you are the bug; some days you
are the windshield.
There are two theories to arguing with
women. Neither one works.
Experience is something you don't get until
just after you need it.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Never, under any circumstances, take a
sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
Everyone seems normal until you get to
know them.
The most wasted day of all is one in which
we have not laughed!

THE
AFTER-DEATH EXPERIENCE
By Mellen-Thomas Benedict
Winter
Park, FL -- "It would take me years to assimilate the Void
experience. It was less than nothing yet greater than anything.
Creation is God exploring God's Self through every way imaginable.
Through every piece of hair on your head, through every leaf on
every tree, through every atom, God is exploring God's Self. I saw
everything as the Self of all. God is here. That's what it is all
about. Everything is made of light; everything is alive ... I said/thought/felt,
"Oh, God, I didn't realize." I was astonished to find
that there was no evil in any soul. People may do terrible things
out of ignorance and lack, but no soul is evil. What all people
seek, what sustains them, is Love, the Light told me." More
