This week’s lighterside contribution, which is full of groaners, comes from Tim Novecosky, called SMILES FROM THE BIBLE.

Folks, Dan is back! go to dan's keyboard to see his "MORE THAN COINCIDENCE".

Jim Meuse Rescheduled event! CCO fundraising dinner

We have exciting news! Fr Thomas Rosica will be the guest speaker at Blessed Sacrament church on 4th Avenue in the Glebe on February 25 commencing at 6:30 PM. The dinner is open to everyone and would be a great opportunity to bring your spouse. The meal and wine are complimentary, although there will be a financial appeal as this is a Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) fundraiser. If you are interested in attending please respond by email. If you indicate your attendance please ensure that you in fact come, as a meal will be ordered in advance for you.

It should be a great event!

Regards Jim Meuse jim@apollomgt.com

Please read the following as many of us are totally unaware if this and those of us who are aware but don't take the time or chose to ignore it should take note for I firmly believe that we should all be considerate and mindful of how we can jeopardize our friends and families in our carelessness (I know I have been guilty in the past and try hard not to do so any longer). God bless you all.


Do you really know how to forward e-mails?
50% of us do; 50% DO NOT. Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it? Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the people who got the message before you, namely their e-mail addresses & names.

As the messages are forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some poor sap to get a virus, and his or her computer can send that virus to every E-mail address that has come across his computer. Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes that you will go to the site and he will make five cents for each hit. That's right, all of that inconvenience over a nickel!

How do you stop it? Well, there are a few easy steps:

(1) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of the message (at the top). That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It only takes a second. You MUST click the "Forward" button first and then you will have full editing capabilities against the body and headers of the message. If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the message at all.

(2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the To: or cc: columns for adding e-mail address. Always use the bcc: (blind carbon copy) column for listing the e-mail addresses. This is the way that people you send to only see their own e-mail address. If you do not see your bcc: option click on where it says To: and your address list will appear. Highlight the address and choose bcc: and that's it, it's that easy. When you send to bcc: your message will automatically say "Undisclosed Recipients in the "TO:" field of the people who receive it.

(3) Remove any "FW:" in the subject line. You can re-name the subject if you wish or even fix spelling.

(4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail you are reading. Ever get those e-mails that you have to open 10 pages to read the one page with the information on it? By Forwarding from the actual page you wish someone to view, you stop him or her from having to open many e-mails just to see what you sent.

Have you ever gotten an email that is a petition? It states a position and asks you to add your name and address and to forward it to 10 or 15 people or your entire address book. The email can be forwarded on and on and can collect thousands of names and email addresses. A FACT: The completed petition is actually worth a couple of bucks to a professional spammer because of the wealth of valid names and email addresses contained therein. If you want to support the petition, send it as your own personal letter to the intended recipient. Your position may carry more weight as a personal letter than a laundry list of names and email address on a petition. So please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail and the viruses.


Editor’s note - we have sent out our own BCC horror story often – ask if you have never seen the copy!
Victor Carvalho Editor’s note – this arrived too late for the VM election issue, but we thought that we would include it in it’s completeness.
My Dear Friends,

It is with regret that we reach this juncture where we are unable to provide you with a 100% Culture-of-Life (CoL) candidate in every riding and provide ourselves with a million plus supporters to bear witness to our convictions. However this will be our hope and our goal for the next elections.

ELECTION DAY: January 23, 06: Please do what is necessary on your own at this eleventh hour:

1. PRAY that the Lord guides us all in doing what the Lord wants us to do. (To do His will on earth).
2. Check out your candidates and their convictions (see websites below).
3. VOTE; it is not only a right but also our DUTY. (Many in the world die for this privilege).

MY OBJECTIONS:
1 I do NOT agree with the views of the majority of Canadians and even those groups that I have supported for many, many years (35 plus).
The ideologies of "Choosing the lesser of the two evils" scenario. Because you may NEVER choose a wrong even to correct a wrong. Or

2 Strategizing by disregarding the policy of the Culture-of-Death (CoD) party affiliated with a CoL candidate and thus choosing him/her over a 100% CoL candidate/Party (like the CHP.ca) for fear that it would be a wasted vote, we thereby compromise our convictions and the results can NEVER be with God's blessings, as we have already denied Him indirectly. 35 years of past performances of CoL candidates in CoD parties have not been able to accomplish much.
By choosing a CoL candidate whose party is 100% for the CoL does not compromise the truth, brings about God's grace and the results would be pretty powerful. TRY THIS FORMULA instead.

MY PROJECTIONS:
This election; no matter which party wins may be very short lived by its very nature of 'minority stability' and lack of conviction to engage in the Truth.

MY HOPE:
Please, I beg you each one of you, let us start NOW to prepare for tomorrow by engaging in politics, armed with the Truth. Let us form an ARMY of Love and Truth; who pledge, beginning with, to: The Culture-of-Life.ca clause; Supremacy of God, Sanctity of Life and the Sacredness of Marriage between a Man & a Woman,

MY VOTE:
I vote CHP.ca because they are the ONLY party for now, that professes the Truth; my reservations are not their platform or policies but their heritage 'appearance' of cliquishness. (Exactly like the MoralParty.ca conveys; as a result we have adopted; VoteCol.com with the Culture-of-Life.ca so as NOT to detract from our goal. I recommend that they do that; incorporate a new name to include all Canadians but maintain their uncompromising principles. A rose with any other name smells as sweet.

HELP:
What can you do from now to the NEXT elections; 4 months to 4 yrs away.

1. Pray.
2. Register your support for the Culture-of-Life.ca cause at our new website; VoteCoL.com
3. Promote the above.

OUR FUTURE:
For the sake of the Lord let us strive to profess the Truth; no matter what the cost or the results with Faith, Hope & Charity.
God cannot and will not let us down.

Let us NOT rest, but be committed to engage in politics and preach the Truth. Let us seek out those committed to the CoL clause and help them consolidate into a massive 'moral' party (call it whatever you will) engaged in the Truth without compromise to EVIL.

I would suggest that we keep the fire burning, with prayer, faith, hope, charity and action. In charity, not revenge, do we seek our brother's welfare.

MARCH 4CoL:
(I did 750,000 steps from Niagara to Ottawa for my sins and the sins of this nation and to rally support for the CoL. Please take your step and register your support soon. We ask for NO donations only your conviction. We can do it. Give Col a chance.... your support)
Let us march in every province from all corners to the provincial capital and then from all provincial capitals to Ottawa and demand that this Nation stays under God and His Glory. Let us not take shelter for fear of harm or reprisals. He will gladly lead us in Truth and victory if you permit Him. Be NOT afraid.

Hey what about our own VOTE tally? We have one on our website http://www.moralparty.com/VOTE06.html just 4us

Thanks and God Bless you!
