Get Your Converter Box Rebate NOTE ! SOME TV will remain analog! If you get your TV signal over an antenna then your old TV will stop working next February as nearly every station switches to digitial. You don't neet a new TV, you need a TV converter box (about the size of a VCR). They cost about $50 but the government will give you a $40 rebate if you apply at https://www.dtv2009.gov/ What no one on TV is mentioning is that some stations won't convert to digital. See a list of low power stations for your state at: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon/LPTVmap.html For more detail see: https://www.dtv2009.gov/lowpower/ Apply early, there are a limited number of coupons available, maximim 2 to household. If you have cable or satellite TV YOU DON'T NEED A CONVERTER BOX AND, IN FACT, CAN'T USE ONE UNLESS YOU ALSO GET LOCAL OVER THE AIR SIGNALS. -- www.newmedicineonline.com www.uraniumtoday.com www.helpdotcom.com www.countrycraftstore.com www.15767.com

Media FUD. FUD - Fear Uncertainty and Doubt, TV News' biggest ally other than violent death The three strains of flu hitting this year were not included in the flu shots and the media is going nuts misreporting things on TV. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell either because some stations are reporting that there is little or no protection against the new strains while others are saying it does. Somebody's gotta be wrong! The government, of course, is urging you to pay for the old vaccine anyway because a few years ago they promised the vaccine makers that they would push any surpluss vaccine. I still say get it because it offers some protection AND ANOTHER STRAIN COULD STILL SPREAD! Remember, there is virtually NO treatment for the flu (or common cold) because they are viruses and anti-biotics don't work against them. Tamiflu only works if taken almost before you realize you have the flu. Want to prevent the flu? Don't touch your face after toching public ob...

Sales people and retailers are ONLY interested in selling so don't ask them, use some common sense – any non-digital TV will stop working in a year unless you also invest in a special converter. Bet there isn't a sign warning you about this in your favorite store.

While the TV news pundits and politicians are working hard to keep you frightened of terrorists and the collapse of civilization as we know it, the real threats are almost ignored. But, after all, if they don't keep you scared and confused, why would you spend yourself into debt to buy things they advertise that you don't need. (Really now, just what danger are you PERSONALLY in from terrorists? To estimate, try to compare how many in the U.S. have been killed by terrorists over the past 20 years compared to how many die on the highways each year due to drunk drivers. Beware the drunk driver, not the terrorist.) The flu is getting bad this year and the flu shots were for the wrong strain. It was reported as "Widespread" last week in 11 states despite the mild winter in many areas. While the flu shots aren't for exactly this strain it will provide some protection and shots are still available. Since the flu kills about 35,000 people every year in the U.S., mostly b...

Super Bowl Game: Boring until the last 5 minutes, then great. Ads: Mostly boring with an occasional ad in incredibly and disgustingly bad taste. Lesson? A wardrobe malfunction brings Congress down on you but it is OK to rip out a young woman's beating heart. Probably not appropriate to show during a game unless it is American (we haven't actually killed anyone yet) Gladiators.

Has your school guidance councilor mentioned any of these: > If you can get into an Ivy League school the school will make certain you can afford tuition? (It works like this, Harvard and other I.L. schools will waive tuition if your family earns less than about $40,000 per year. This isn't some scholarship you need to win, it is just as simple as applying.) > Some college educations are a total waste of time and money – most people with a degree in non-technical subjects are still living with their parents and flipping burgers at 25. Math, engineering, and science majors get great jobs right out of college. > While trade school training is a great idea, most of the TV ads are really bogus. (You won't become the next great video game designer unless you have a college degree in computer science; you won't become a great designer just by learning a few computer programs – it really does matter if you are an artist; a trade school education won't get you a great ...
