Most often, we take one side or another when we hear about attacks and bombings. How many times do we stop and think about how the average citizen feels? How would YOU feel if you lived in Gaza City? How would you feel if you lived in Sderot, Israel? Would you be brave enough to take a stand?
Many do not and cannot stand up for what they believe. Why? Because they are mere citizens, just like us. They are innocent on both sides. The fanatics are the enemy - not the citizens.
But when we ignore the fanatics, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. Fanatics kill their own people and don't hesitate to force their beliefs on others to the point of vowing to exterminate those who disagree with them.
How many times do we watch history repeat itself before we can recognize the irrationality of fanaticism?
So, how would you feel if you were an Israeli citizen, trying to stay safe and live a peaceful life?
And, how would you feel if you were a resident in Gaza and thugs run the "government" - even though you voted them in because they promised to make things better?
It is truly a horrible situation to watch from afar, but how would we feel to live it every day?
I pray for peace for all the people in Israel and Gaza. But I fear it will come at a dear cost.

What an awful time to be "out of work". Yet many are suffering this down turn in their lives right now.
The AP reported, "new claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, the government said Wednesday, while consumers cut back on their spending for the fifth straight month amid a deepening recession.
The Labor Department reported that initial requests for jobless benefits rose to a seasonally adjusted 586,000 in the week ending Dec. 20, from an upwardly revised figure of 556,000 the previous week. That's much more than the 560,000 economists had expected.
That's also the highest level of claims since November 1982, though the work force has grown by about half since then."
This might be a good time to look into working online and making some extra money! If you are out of work, there couldn't be a better time to at least investigate working from home.
We will show you how at http://www.power-teams.com. And it won't cost you a penny to learn how we do it.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, regardless of your situation. May God bless you as you go forward and look forward to the future.

I just wanted to fill you in on my little secret called NutsOnline.
This small family business sells the highest quality nuts, dried fruit, chocolate and candy coated nuts and dried fruit, snacks, coffees, teas, seeds, and spices around.
And they really care about their customers! I've been buying from them for several years. They always deliver quickly and their products are fantastic!
NutsOnline makes great gift baskets. You can even pick exactly what you want in the basket. When I've sent these as gifts to my family, they always tell me how much they LOVE the gift.
I do not usually do "reviews" of people, but this person has branded herself as a product. Ellie Drake seems to be a very, very intelligent and determined woman, having escaped from the Iranian dictatorship and made her life in America. She put herself through medical school and made a huge success of her life in network marketing. She is truly a success story and her style is inspirational.
However, there is not a great deal of substance in what she teaches. I would call it "a lot of fluff". Don't get me wrong. Ellie Drake is an inspiration to many people. But most people could NEVER imitate her, much less hope to achieve what she has done.
Ms. Drake is also a very pretty woman, a point that she takes full advantage of with her "movie star" quality photographs. Again, not a very realistic characteristic for the average networker to copy.
Recently, Ms. Drake teamed up with Mike Filsaime to do a "joint venture" in what they called "The Death Of Network Marketing". I'm sure both of them made a lot of money, but I seriously doubt if a networker made more than a few dollars.
I have seen this theme carried out over and over again. Gurus joint venture with one another to double their profits. They talk about the hundreds of thousands of dollars they make and laugh about it. I'll give a good example of this in another review at another time. Just believe me, they are not doing these joint ventures for the benefit of network marketers or even affiliate marketers. They do it to double and triple and quadruple their own income.
When I first watched this video series, I could hardly believe anyone would tell all their secrets like Michael does! If you want to learn how to write REALLY GREAT sales emails, then by all means set aside some quality time and just listen and watch!
Michael is a pro. And it shows in his speech, his actions and all that he teaches. I am most appreciative personally to be able to utilize what I've learned from him. I use his techniques every single day and they have certainly paid off.
Michael will teach you:
* A simple way to create an "email blueprint" that practically writes the email for you!
* The single biggest mistake people make with subject lines that guarantees your email won't get opened.
* A simple trick that will keep your readers eyes glued to the screen and force them to read every word! Hint: it involves using the three "magic words".
* How to force people to keep reading once they open your email - proven tricks from the world's top copywriters.
* How to create bullets that captures people's attention, and makes your offer irresistible!
* 6 mistakes people make when writing promos that hurts their results.
* and much, much more!
This video series is absolutely FREE and it is conveniently "online", so you don't have to download them to watch! Take advantage of Michael's incredible generosity and learn from one of the best!
To be honest, this is a great company. They are well financed and have really terrific owners and leadership. They have grown very fast and are extremely successful.
But for some reason, as hard as we tried to promote it here in America, it just wouldn't go for us. With the fuel shortage and prices as bad as they are, you would think everybody in the country would want a product that saves fuel and increases gas mileage. We could hardly even get people to try the product.
Perhaps it is just too expensive (like so many MLM products). However, we definitely vouch for the fact that the products work exactly as claimed by FFi.
After 1-1/2 years of trying to promote FFi, I have to admit I'm not doing it any longer. I haven't quit the company and if I see a reason to try again, I'll certainly start promoting. As of today, it is not at the top of my agenda.
I am not saying this is not a great opportunity for anybody else. If cars, fuel, saving money on gas, etc. is your "thing", then this is a great company to go with.
I give these recommendations with some reservations, however. Like most MLM companies, you must maintain a certain level of "autoship" volume. If you do not, you will lose your group volume, downline, and status. I have come around to a paradigm that says we shouldn't have to pay a company to sell their products and, thus, I believe MLM companies should reconfigure their platforms and stop charging people exorbitant fees to be distributors, much less forcing them to purchase high volumes of products every month before they can be paid a commission for selling products for the company. But that's just "me".
I posted the following review on our Power-Teams.Com Reviews in May, 2008. I thought it would be good to share it on this blog.
Incidentally, the whole web site for this scam has now disappeared. I know quite a few people joined and I wish we could find a way to contact the proprietors and ask for our money back. Not that it would do any good, but it would feel good to bug them.
Here's my post from May, 2008:
We joined Gibolution in December, 2007. In a private email to me, they promised to build the downline in Giblink for ONLY $39.95 per quarter (every 3 months).
Looking back, I can see how foolish I was when I believed people like this. I was so busy at the time that I did not have any spare time to promote Giblink. So, I decided, "what the heck?" and signed up for these guys to do the promotion and business building for me. After all, Giblink is a "straight line downline", so it made sense to me that it would benefit both me and them for them to do this work.
During the 3 months, I sent several emails to these guys asking, "how's it going?" and "what are you doing for me with the money I spent?"
Absolutely NO answer whatsoever.
That didn't stop them from charging my PayPal again in March, 2008. I filed a complaint with PayPal. Since this was not a physical product, they couldn't help me at all.
BEWARE of signing up for services like this that use the "subscription service" PayPal offers unless you are sure it's something you really want and can believe in. If I had used my VISA card, I could have reversed the charge, but not with a subscription service with PayPal.
I still think PayPal is one of the finest payment processors on the internet, but I failed to read the fine print. When I asked, their very professional staff showed me where I was wrong.
However, even though I made a mistake in trusting these guys at Gibolution, I won't make it again. Unfortunately for them, their record now contains a permanent public record showing they were investigated for possible fraudulent activity.
They could have at least answered one email. Too busy counting money, I suppose.
I noticed a few days ago that Giblink is still advertising and apparently reorganized.
I posted the following in May, 2007 on my original Power-Teams Reviews and wanted to share it here on the blog:
We joined Giblink in September, 2007 while the hype was at its peak! It really sounded so good. We made enough from commissions to pay for one extra quarter (3 months) of membership.
I really did not promote Giblink very much, due to a lack of time and probably a lack of commitment on my part, so I realize I didn't give it a fair chance from that point of view.
However, the program was promoted as if a person did not really need to promote it in order to make money. It was supposed to be a force-filled matrix or single line downline. Well, we never saw anybody added to our group except for the people we personally invited who joined.
I also joined a group called "Gibolution" who promised nearly in blood to build the group and add people directly to our membership. They just took the money and ran. I couldn't even get them to answer emails. More about them on their own "review".
Giblink is supposed to be a community of businesses and the quarterly $150.00 price is for advertising to that community. I did go into the site and set up all the advertising and personal web page to promote my primary businesses. I never heard from a single person in the Giblink community who expressed an interest. That could, of course, be my own fault. Maybe they didn't like the way I looked in my picture. Maybe they had no interest in our service or product. Regardless, our advertising there produced not one particle of interest.
Overall, this is a gorgeous web site. Very nice technical abilities. The debit card on which they pay is difficult to obtain and costs an additional $19.95, but I did manage to get it done. The payment process worked well and they did deduct the cost ($150.00) from my commissions for the first quarter (December, 2007). However, there was not enough money in that account for the second go around (March, 2008), so I did allow them to draft my bank account. Unless I see something new, I will probably drop this deal before the next deduction from my account.
The reason I am negative is mostly because I have never received a single inquiry due to my advertising within the community. That tells me the community is not very active and the advertising is not reaching many people. If I were selling ice cubes to polar bears, I would have had at least one inquiry.
I also cannot recommend them because of the hype promoted originally. Perhaps things will change in the future, but right now I would stay away.
My business partner, Yaacov Gafni, is known as "The VoIP Expert". He and I are agents for a fantastic company called "Global 1 Touch".
Yaacov has done the research, compared prices of companies all over the world..... and none compare with the quality, services offered, or prices Global 1 Touch provides.

Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) is by definition audio or video calls using the internet. VoIP has been around for about ten years now for public use. Some of the first applications were really awful to use. You sounded like you were talking in a barrel and sometimes the echo was so bad you just couldn't stand it.
Today, VoIP quality is so good that it many times has better quality than regular landline phones.
But why use it? Pure and simple: cost! It costs a mere fraction to use compared with what you pay for traditional phone service -- both locally and long distance. And, if the quality is often better, why not save the money for something else?
Switching to VoIP is intimidating for many people just because they are so accustomed to the old fashioned telephone. There are web site to help get you started, one of which is part of our own network:
http://www.mobilevoipcheap.com
You will find a great deal of information here, including recommended services by The VoIP Expert, Yaacov Gafni, as well as reviews of different products and services. You can even sign up for a monthly newsletter to keep abreast of all the latest developments and news in the world of VoIP.

This is a wonderful game for either X-Box or X-Box 360 in which you are a hero from the land of Albion. There are many different quests of which you can choose the light or dark side. Each quest gives you money, experience points, and good or evil points. As you progress through the game, you may use your experience points to upgrade your character in magic, strength, and agility.
Another reason this is a great game is that it is inexpensive and very entertaining in my opinion.
The slight downsides to this game are that it is quite violent and it is rated "M" for mature, so not everyone can play it.
Stumble It!
