Saudi's Defect........
See what I mean folks? Give the bastards enough time and money and support, and sure enough, they'll turn on ya!
The Saudi's are already showing their colors and it spells "TERRORISTS"! The Saudi's would be over-run
immediately if we withdraw our military presence. These bastards are all alike. The entire Arab world has one thought in mind,
and that is, the total destruction of the entire free world! Now we have the Human Rights freaks on our ass about everything,
but have you ever seen these self serving assholes do any good in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Africa or anywhere else,
where there is total liquidation of human life simply because of race or religion?! These so called Human Rights organizations,
are in themselves, nothing more than self serving terrorist groups and the right arm of the United Nations!
It's also apparent that Dick Armey has his head up his ass also! According to Armey, on the subject of
Saddam Hussein "As long as he behaves himself within his own borders, we should not be addressing any attack
or resources against him". I have always been a supporter of Armey, until he made that stupid, blundering statement.
Armey, if you look back in history, they tried that dumb approach with a man who tried to annialate the entire
human race......let me give you a clue if you're to damned dumb to remember!! The initials are Adolph Hitler, jerk!

U.S. Denied Access to Saudi Bases
Wed Aug 7, 8:32 PM ET
By DONNA ABU-NASR, Associated Press Writer
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Saudi Arabia will not give the United States access to bases in the kingdom for an attack on Saddam Hussein ( news - web sites), but the foreign minister said Wednesday the longtime U.S. ally does not plan to expel American forces from an air base used for flights to monitor Iraq.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Prince Saud said the 70-year-old U.S.-Saudi alliance was just
as solid now as before the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States.
He said Osama bin Laden ( news - web sites), who was stripped of Saudi citizenship and who
directed the al-Qaida attacks, had intended to drive a wedge between the two countries when
he chose 15 Saudi citizens to be among the 19 hijackers who crashed planes into the
World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon ( news - web sites).
Beyond that, Saud denied the kingdom sends financial aid to Palestinian suicide bombers who
have killed more than 260 Israelis in 22 months of Mideast violence.
Opposition to a U.S. attack to overthrow Saddam is gaining strength in Europe as well.

America~A Bygone Era: Famous Steamboat
The Yellow Stone
Not all the gallant veterans of Texas' fight for independence were humans. One was a steamboat -- a side-wheeler named the Yellow Stone.
On March 31, 1836, the Yellow Stone inadvertently stumbled into Texas history.
Now under the command of Capt. John E. Ross, the vessel was taking on a load
of cotton at Jared Groce's landing in present-day Waller County about 20 miles up the Brazos from San Felipe.
The Alamo had fallen on March 6. Even before that, settlers had begun leaving
their homes to escape the advancing Mexican army. After Sam Houston learned of the
crushing defeat at the San Antonio mission, he, himself, left Gonzales and "advanced to the
rear" toward the Colorado River with the Texas army, urging civilians along the way to flee.
The trickle of refugees became a deluge; the mass exodus was called the Runaway Scrape.
Houston's retreat brought him to Groce's landing on March 31 facing a Brazos River swollen by spring rains.
Desperate to cross, he commandeered the Yellow Stone to ferry men, horses and equipment to the opposite
bank. Capt. Ross stacked his cargo of cotton bales in such a way as to protect the boat's boilers and pilothouse
from snipers in case of hostilities. On April 12, Capt. Ross, finally satisfied with the cotton armor and the load of
fuel, ferried Houston and his men across the river. Two days later, Ross guided the steamboat, under a full head
of steam, on a wild, bumpy ride down river past a Mexican army encampment at Fort Bend. One over-eager Mexican
soldier even tried in vain to lasso the smokestacks, the only parts of the superstructure peeking out from the tops of the cotton bales.
Capt. Ross proceeded to Galveston, picking up refugees along the way. On the island, he found President Burnet,
many other government officials and a large number of refugees. After the Texans' victory, the Yellow Stone transported
Burnet and other officials to the battleground at San Jacinto at the request of Secretary of War Thomas J. Rusk.
At Buffalo Bayou, the steamboat played host not only to Sam Houston, who needed medical treatment for a wounded ankle,
but also to Gen. Santa Anna, 47 of his officers and other Mexican soldiers. About 80 prisoners were taken to Galveston
for incarceration. It is said that Burnet, never a fan of Houston's, refused to let Houston board the boat. But Capt. Ross
would not budge until Houston was brought on board.
A Mexican officer, writing of the voyage later, found it curious that, as the Yellow Stone passed the
San Jacinto battleground, the Texas troops on board lined the rail and presented arms, accompanied
by a solemn military drumbeat. "What was their object?" he wondered.
Read the 'Rest Of The Story'..............
YES....IT'S REALLY FACT
Dry ice is actually carbon dioxide gas that is compressed until it is
liquefied and then frozen. The nifty thing about dry ice is that it
changes back to a gas without becoming a liquid, which is where the
"dry" part comes into play.
Good Humor Man....Not Guilty....
A lady about eight months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man
opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more
amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing. She complained
to the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20) what he had
to say for himself. The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this: When
the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but to notice her condition. She
sat under a sign that said, "The double Mint Twins are coming" and I
smiled.
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, "Slogan's Liniment will
reduce the swelling" and I had to grin.
Then she placed herself under a sign that said, "William's Big Stick did
the trick" and I could hardly contain myself.
But Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that
read, "Goodyear rubber could have prevented this accident...." I just lost
it."

Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area
Flaming Gorge, Utah
Big, beautiful Flaming Gorge Lake, enclosed by brightly colored canyon walls and set amidst hundreds
of thousands of acres of forested hills, makes up the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
It is a wonderful setting in which to boat, fish, hike, bike or just stare. The Green River below the
dam provides some of the best trout fishing opportunities in the state as well as mild white water rafting.
Most visitors camp at the dozens of forest service campgrounds in the park, but there are also a few lodges
and other places to stay in the area.
Flaming Gorge straddles the Utah/Wyoming border near the northeast corner of Utah. Though it reaches some
60 miles north to Green River, Wyoming, most of the activity and the most dramatic scenery are at its southern
end in Utah. The main season runs from May to September, though a few facilities remain open all year for
cross-country skiers, snowmobilers and ice fishers. Hunting nearby is T-rrific!!

Outdoor Tip: Layering Tip
If you're going to be out in subfreezing weather, it is
essential that you understand how to properly layer your
clothing. A basic layering system consists of synthetic
underwear that will wick moisture from your skin, a middle
insulating layer (e.g. fleece or down) to provide warmth,
and an outer shell that will protect you from the elements.
The idea is to trap war air between each layer, providing
more warmth than if you were just wearing a shirt and
jacket.
The Shake Flashlight
This is a great gadget for your emergency kit. The Shake
Flashlight needs to batteries or a charger. Just grab it
and give it a good shake. The light will run for five
minutes and can be restarted by shaking it again. The
really nice thing about this is that the flashlight looks
like a flashlight and does not have the crank to turn like
previous incarnations of emergency lights. You can also
keep this light anywhere as there is no charger to mount.
Get a couple of these for the cars and around the house.
The Shake Flashlight retails for $29.95 as item number
DK009 from The Sharper Image.

THE MONEY MYTH EXPLODED
The financial enigma resolved
A debt money system: by Louis Even
1. Shipwreck survivors
An explosion had blown their ship apart. Each one grasped the first bit of wreckage that came to hand,
And when it was over there were five left, five huddled on a raft which the waves carried along at their will,
As for the other victims of the disaster, there was no sign of them.
Hour after long hour their eyes searched the horizon. Would some passing ship sight them?
Would their makeshift raft find its way to some friendly shore?
Suddenly a cry rang out: "Land! Look! Over there in the direction the waves are carrying us!"
And as the vague silhouette proved itself to be, in fact, the outline of a shore, the figures on the raft danced with joy.
They were five, five Canadians. There was Frank, the carpenter, big and energetic, It was he who had first cried, "Land!"
then Paul, a farmer. You can see him on his knees, one hand against the floor, the other gripping the mast of the raft.
Next Jim, an animal breeder; he's the one in the striped pants, kneeling and gazing in the direction of land.
Then there is Harry, an agriculturist, a little on the stout side, seated on a trunk salvaged from the wreck.
And finally Tom, a prospector and a mineralogist; he is the merry fellow standing in the rear with his hand on the carpenter's shoulder.

Subject: Fw: Fw: Plastic Wrap/microwave
University of California, Davis Medical Center 2315
Stockton Boulevard, Sacramento, California 95817
Jan, 2001
As a seventh grade student, Claire Nelson learnedthat
di(ethylhexyl)adepate (DEHA), considered acarcinogen, is found in
plastic wrap. She also learned that the FDA had never studied the
effect of microwave cooking on plastic-wrapped food. Claire began to
wonder: "Can cancer-causing particles seep into food covered with
household plastic wrap while it is being microwaved?"
Three years later, with encouragement from her high school
scienceteacher, Claire had an idea for studying the effect of
microwave
radiation on plastic-wrapped food, she did not have the equipment.
Eventually, Jon Wilkes at the National Center for Toxicological
Research
in Jefferson, Arkansas, agreed to help her. The research center, which
is affiliated with the FDA, let her use its facilities to perform her
experiments, which involved microwaving plastic wrap in virgin olive
oil. Claire tested four different plastic wraps and "found not just
the carcinogens but also xenoestrogen was migrating [into the
oil]...." Xenoestrogens are linked to low sperm counts in men and to
breast cancer in women. Throughout her junior and senior years, Claire
made a couple of trips each week to the research center, which was 25
miles from her home, to work on her experiment. An article in Options
reported that "her analysis found that DEHA was migrating into the oil
at between 200
parts
and 500 parts per million. The FDA standard is 0.05 parts per
billion." Her summarized results have been published in science
journals. Claire Nelson received the American Chemical Society's top
science prize for students during her junior year and fourth place at
the International Science and Engineering Fair (Fort Worth,Texas) as a
senior. "Carcinogens -- At 10,000,000 Times FDA Limits" Options May
2000. Published by People Against Cancer, 515-972-4444
On Channel 2 (Huntsville, AL) this morning they had Dr. Edward
Fujimoto
from Castle Hospital on the program. He is the manager of the Wellness
Program at the hospital. He was talking about dioxins and how bad they
are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the
Microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods that contain
fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastics
releases dioxins into the food and ultimately into the cells of the
body.Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our
bodies. Instead, he
recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for
heating
food. You get the same results without the dioxins. So such things as
TV
dinners, instant saimin [?] and soups, etc., should be removed from
the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you
don't know what is in the paper. Just safer to use tempered glass,
Corning Ware, etc. He said we might remember when some of the fast
food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The
dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Pass this on to your friends....
To add to this: Saran wrap placed over foods as they are nuked, with
the
high heat, actually drips poisonous toxins into the food! Use a
paper
towel!!

TIPS FOR MEN ~ WOMEN and BABIES |
GUYS: Cologne:
Unlike wine, men's cologne does not improve with age. It
deteriorates. And it deteriorates more quickly in a warm
place. So keep your cologne out of the sun and away from
heat, such as the furnace register. And those colognes you
seldom wear? Keep them in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!
GALS: Brain fitness
We're all aware of the need to keep our bodies fit, but
what about our brains? One way to build our brainpower is
to learn something new, whether it's a new art form,
language, software program, or any other intellectual
challenge. Dr. Donna LaVoie, director of the Memory and
Aging Laboratory at St. Louis University, says that when we
tax our brain to learn, it "triggers the brain to form new
neurons in just two weeks if you do a little every day."
NOTE: Always Check with and follow the advice of your Physician!

BEAUTY: Mascara & Summer
It's hot, sweaty and unbearably humid. How do you keep that
mascara from going into a tragic meltdown? Look for the
waterproof or smudgeproff items in your local store. Always
start with clean lashes so that you won't have that goopy
build-up, then utilize a good eyelash curler. You'll be
surprised as to how well your waterproof mascara will
hold-up under the stress of the summer heat.
