Catholic Church Alienating Gay and Lesbian Community

July 29th, 2008 by admin

The Catholic Church has been under some sharp criticism in the last few years. There have been some scandals and unanswered questions to the satisfaction of many on-lookers and parishioners. The Pope was found to have served in the NAZI Youth and then all those pedophiles, which were discovered in the United States.

The Catholic Church was quick to point out that Pope had to join the NAZI Youth as all the young men were compelled too. Well regarding Ratssinger the Pope and his NAZI service; I have friends who were able to get out of the country instead of joining the Nazi Youth and risked their lives in doing so I am not sure playing meek is an appropriate excuse for his service in the NAZI Youth. If you will recall that the Catholic Church was blessing the NAZIs and doing so on the Allies side too.

And one never feels good about reminding all the good Catholics out there that the Catholic Church has been allowing rape and molestation of children for over 2000 years, so I did not mean to cause a scene on that point or pour salt into a wound, only to illustrate the problems facing the credibility of the Catholic Church.

One thing that may not be understood is that the average Homosexual makes more money than the average American by quite a bit. Surely the Catholic Church wants the tithing from the gay and lesbian community, but does not wish to alienate the other larger tithing market either. Does this mean they want the homosexuals in parish in reality, but not in open? Is this the closet affect that has up until recently hurt the forward progress of Gays?

Is the Catholic Church looking for a “Do Not Ask, Do Not Tell” sort of way to handle this issue? And if so, which it seems so, isn’t that indeed just more hypocrisy on top of all the rest. (i.e. rape, pedophilia, molestations, NAZI and stolen art). And really I am not judging, just asking some questions here.

One point brought up and one which keeps popping up in Online Blog discussions is interesting in that; “Why would a Homosexual want anything to do with the Catholic Church, unless they had been indoctrinated and immersed in the religion early on as a child, thus making it more cultural than religious?” Personally I do not see how the Catholic Church can continue to play both sides against the middle with the gay and lesbian community. These are all hard questions, which need to be answered and as a Straight Non-Catholic, I just don’t have the answers. Do you?

Finding a 12 Months Free Line Rental Mobile Phone Contract

July 29th, 2008 by admin

A less conventional way of getting a cheap mobile is by using a free line rental contract. 12 month free deals are the best kept secret amongst all of the deals being sold today.

In principle a free line rental mobile contract shouldnt cost a dime to operate. This is providing the person in question is thorough in making a claim for one hundred percent cashback. It is rare that this is quite as easy as customers are lead to think due to the fact that mobile sellers stipulate a number of dirty tricks within the terms and conditions of free line rental contracts so as to cut back the quantity of successful claimants.

A free line rental mobile contract is a form of 100% cashback contract. With these deals you pay the mobile phone bill as usual for the first few months. At a later point you have to remember to claim the entire cost of the mobile cellular phone back from the vendor who first sold you the mobile cellular phone.

Putting aside the complications of free line rental contracts they are absolutely genuine and consumers are able to obtain a one hundred percent free phone for full duration of a 12 month contract.

The most significant pitfall of free line rental products is that if the vendor stop trading you will lose the ability to get your cashback. 12 month free line rental is always going to be a compromise, as it is only offered on older handset models.

Without question the most competitive place to buy a free line rental mobile contract is over the internet. As free line rental deals are an unusual type of promotion you would be well advised to use a comparison site to find the best deals at the time.

Stop, Look, And Listen

July 27th, 2008 by admin

There are three journal actions that you should take when writing a journal entry. You should stop. You should look, and then you should listen. In order to write a journal entry you need to be aware of what’s going on inside and outside of you. After practicing these three actions you will become more aware of everything around you.

STOP: Prepare yourself to write, finish up the work in front of you. Find your journal and pen or pencil. Take a deep breath, shrug your shoulders and relax.

LOOK: Look at your journal page. Take in everything about the page, including margins, whether the page is ruled or unruled and how much space you have from the top to the bottom of the page. Then think about the issue(s)s that you want to discuss. Choose one subject. Jot the other topics in a short list somewhere for later use. Here’s are some suggestions for choosing a topic.

– Make a list of positive words or phrases that you read when you need some encouragement.

–Make a page of your favorite drawings to motivate you in to create your art.

–Write a page about one of your strongest feelings, such as anger or sadness.

–Write a list of all that you accomplished in one day, week, month or year/

–Write a to-do list.
–Write a list of dreams.
–Write a list of goals.
–Write a list of short prayers.
–Write a list of your favorite books.
–Write a shopping list.

LISTEN: Listen to your intuition, that small voice that you hear when you are making a decision. Listen to God. Listen to people you trust. Listen to the five w’s, who, what ,when where and why. Write the words that you hear. Identify the voice that is speaking to you. Have a brief conversation with the voice. Stop writing when you are both finished. You may run out of words to say, feel tired or have writer’s cramp. Some examples of when you may be finished:
You may run out of words, feel tired or have writer’s cramp.

Congratulations! You’ve written your first journal entry. You can repeat this exercise any time, to help you write new entries.

Happy Journaling!

Putting Together a Baby Registry

July 26th, 2008 by admin

Congratulations! Chances are if you are reading this, you are expecting a new addition to your family. This is such an exciting time, with lots of planning and preparing! One of the best gifts you can give to yourself (and your new little one) is to put together a baby registry. Having a registry lets your family and friends know what you would like to have on hand for baby without having to worry about receiving doubles or triples of certain items; or worse, receiving a green and yellow crocheted bottle cozy from Great Aunt Betsy!

Your first item of business will be to choose one or two stores that specialize in baby gear and make sure they offer a baby registry. Now the fun begins! Whether you choose an online retailer or visit a store, you will get to browse, compare and then put together your wish list.

“How do I know what to choose?” you might ask. There are many books and websites available that will offer you a variety of lists that will help you pinpoint the items you may need. When you begin your browsing, you are going to want everything for your special little angel. The reality is that you really won’t need everything that is offered. I am going to offer a few suggestion lists for items to help get you started

Nursery/Safety

  • Crib
  • Bassinette or Co-sleeper
  • Changing table
  • Bathtub
  • Health kit
  • Swing
  • Bouncy or vibrating seat
  • Car seats
  • Stroller
  • Monitor


  • Extras for Baby

  • Baby Einstein Videos
  • Nursing/Feeding Pillow
  • Crib Toy, Mobile
  • Diaper Wipe Warmer
  • Playmat /kick toy/ play saucer
  • Glider Rocker
  • Baby carrier
  • Baby Wedge
  • Fun Bedding Theme
  • Diaper Bag


  • Clothes

  • Onesies
  • Wearable Blanket
  • Winter Wear
  • Summer/Winter Hats
  • Diapers
  • More Diapers
  • and even more Diapers
  • These lists are only the tip of the iceberg. You will see when you are putting your wish list together, that there are tons of other items to choose. Be sure to put everything on your list that you would think you would like. Chances are if you leave something off the list, you may regret not having that item. On the other end of the spectrum, you may find that you have an item or two that you never even used. What’s great about this is you can save the unopened items for future gifts to pass onto your family or friends for their babies!

    This is a special time in your life that will go by so quickly, so have fun with all the planning and dreaming while you prepare for you little bundle of joy! Do your research, choose your gift ideas wisely; so when baby arrives all you will have to worry about is showering your little bundle with love!

    Becoming An Entrepreneur-How To Make $200,000 This Financial Year

    July 24th, 2008 by admin

    Usually an idea is not enough to get into the big leagues. For definition I define the big leagues as having $1 million dollars or more. An idea gets you direction, but profits come with deal making.

    In this area, deal making entrepreneurs create profits out of thin air. Creativity is what an entrepreneur does. From the perspective of somebody starting out and wanting to become an entrepreneur the difficulty is in the low seed capital account and the lack of experience. These can both be overcome however the mistake most people make is believing that locating seed capital for their “big idea” is what an entrepreneur does.

    An idea simply leads to profits, but there is a long and winding road to travel before an original idea becomes profitable. An entrepreneur hardly ever creates big ideas. They create little ideas with big value. Pre-exisitng profitable circumstances that can be adjusted in a small, cheap way for a big return is the ideal situation for an entrepreneur.

    An entrepreneur buys problems and sells solutions. By that I mean they become experienced in solving a particular problem in a particular market that they have learned how to resolve cheaply. As a deal maker, an entrepreneur seeks out these similar circumstances or problems and takes on these investments for the purpose of resolving the problem and re-marketing to people that are willing to pay retail for solutions. In this way profits are most often made.

    To be in the position where the seed capital account is low is a challenge but no insurmountable. There are many ways assets can be controlled legally without the need for out right purchase. Assignment of assets is a very easy thing to do using legal instruments like options. The largest block to success for entrepreneurs first starting out is not having successful experiences, and its this aspect of the endeavour that really is the obstacle.

    The best advice I can give to new entrepreneurs is to invest in knowledge. This is the first step and can lead to leveraged returns if you get your hands on the right information. By creating deals from existing circumstances, an entrepreneur compounds money in a rapid way. This can be accomplished at very low levels. At these price points, an entrepreneur can build their seed capital account slowly in the beginning but more importantly develop winning experiences and accumulate experience over time.

Information about the Royal Family History can be found at (enjoyEngland.com) the official site for tourism in England.

    Their journeys abroad on behalf of the United Kingdom (called State Trips when the Queen formally meets with other heads of state) draws public awareness to good communications within and between the Commonwealth and other nations, to British provisions & trade, & to Britain as a historical, vacation, & tourist destination. Their existing activities & customary roles constitute the peak of an up-to-the-minute “royal court,” and offer a clearly British and historical sight to services (Like that of the Trooping the Colour) and outlook to public demonstrations (Like that of the Garden Parties, Royal Ascot).

    Right the way through their lives they receive a massive amount of media attention in the way of pictorial, online & radio commentary about their daily lives, family associations, rites of passage, characters, outfits, behaviour, & public responsibilities

    Making Money with Affiliate Programmes and Google AdWords

    July 21st, 2008 by admin

    There are many online billing and marketing services that have been created for the development of affiliate programmes. They provide tracking services to enable merchants to pay a designated amount of money to the person who referred the business to the merchant, which serves as a commission payment. They know who the affiliate is because the affiliate uses a special link provided by the affiliate network that uniquely identifies them, and then they track the visitor’s progress through the merchant’s site to the sale of the product.

    Google AdWords is one of many pay-per-click services with which you can place advertising at low rates. You write an advertisement for Google AdWords that will appear on the “sponsored links” section of their search results, and you tell Google that you would like your ad shown when somebody searches for specific keywords. You get charged a small fee each time somebody clicks on your advertisement, and thereby visits your designated website.

    Link the two together, and what have you got? An easy way of making money quickly! Well, it would be easy if nobody else knew about the technique. The trouble is that hundreds of thousands of people are well aware of this technique to make money, and as a result, lots of ads exist for most worthwhile keywords. If an advertisement is already listed for the keyword that you want to list for, then you must be prepared to pay more per click than that advertiser to get your advertisement listed, and then the costs of advertising ramp up.

    If you can get in first with an advertisement campaign, you have an advantage. Google AdWords rewards advertisers who write copy that attracts clicks by lowering the cost per click that these advertisers have to pay to get their ads listed near the top of the list. This way, ads can build up history. One way of getting into this market is by striking while the iron is hot. If you can find a vendor that has just started an affiliate programme, you may be able to get in with a good ad before anyone else does.

    ClickBank is a famous payment processor and affiliate network tracker that have over 10,000 downloadable goods available. There are plenty of products available through ClickBank that can be marketed in this way, and new vendors are coming along all the time. Commission Junction are another famous network that provide a similar tracking and commission-payment service with new products quickly coming in, and there are plenty of others. Some organisations like Amazon operate their own affiliate tracking network; indeed, Amazon made the model popular. Those affiliate marketers who are successful sometimes achieve that success by finding these new products, and marketing them before anybody else does. In this way, they maximise their chances of generating autopilot income.

    David Thomas is a web publisher who runs a website dedicated to revealing the techniques involved in successfully making money on the web.

    Dream the Impossible Dream

    July 20th, 2008 by admin

    To think of riches, when one is in the condition of poverty or lack, requires sustained and concentrated thought; but he who practices this disciplined thinking inevitably becomes rich, and he can have whatever he wants.~Joseph Murphy

    How do you seize courage when your whole world is collapsing around you?

    You do it by picturing the opposite.

    You ignore what is before you and you focus on what is within you.

    When you create a dream, you must nourish it. This nourishing has to happen in good times and in bad times.

    Rather than suspend your belief, suspend the value you place on what you see before you. If for example, you dream of making money in your own business but all you see around you is the harassment and poverty of your circumstances, choose to nourish the inner and take no value from the outer.

    What appears around you as lack is but the outcome of your past thoughts. Your current thoughts of belief in plenty are the ground on which you will form the architecture of your abundance. The emotions that you invest in your dreams are the rain that nourishes the seeds of your desires.

    It takes a strong will to think in a way that is contrary to sensible thought. Yet the reasonable person makes no progress, settling always for the obvious. Progress and the future of the world depend on the unreasonable one, who believes visions over actuality.

    The dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they bring their vision into creation.

    How often we rob ourselves of our dreams, ransacking them like bandits, savagely denuding ourselves of our own power.

    When Martin Luther King raised his voice against the oppression of his race, he did not see what was before him but what was within him. His dream was so vivid, so powerful, so convincing that others shared it with him. It became such a force in the world that even his death could not stop that dream of equality from taking shape.

    Similarly, when Nelson Mandela dreamed of a better world for his race and for his country, neither imprisonment, humiliation, and prolonged exile could staunch the flow of his vision. Today because he held the dream, sharing it with other freedom fighters, the impossible happened and apartheid collapsed in South Africa.

    When the British Empire seemed the only great power in the world, a puny, skinny Indian man dared to dream a different dream. While his eyes saw the stranglehold of his native land by a power that embraced the world, Mahatma Ghandi dared dream
