Compulsive shopping and spending
People who "shop 'till they drop" and run their credit cards up to the limit often have a shopping addiction.
Compulsive shopping or spending can be a seasonal balm for the depression, anxiety and loneliness during the December holiday season. It also can occur when a person feels depressed, lonely and angry. Shopping and spending will not assure more love, bolster self-esteem, or heal the hurts, regrets, stress, and the problems of daily living. It generally makes these feelings worse because of the increased financial debt the person has obtained from compulsive shopping.

Compulsory voting
Arguments used in favor of compulsory voting: ·
Voting is a civic duty comparable to other duties citizens perform (e.g. taxation, compulsory education, or jury duty). ·
- Parliament reflects more accurately the "will of the electorate." ·
- Governments must consider the total electorate in policy formulation and management. ·
- Candidates can concentrate their campaigning energies on issues rather than encouraging voters to attend the poll. ·
- The voter isn't actually compelled to vote for anyone because voting is by secret ballot.
Arguments used against compulsory voting: ·
- It is undemocratic to force people to vote - an infringement of liberty. ·
- The "ignorant" and those with little interest in politics are forced to the polls. ·
- It may increase the number of "donkey votes" (bad votes that don't get counted). ·
- It may increase the number of informal votes (ballot papers which are not marked according to the rules for voting). ·
- It increases the number of safe, single-member electorates - political parties then concentrate on the more marginal electorates. ·
- Resources must be allocated to determine whether those who failed to vote have "valid and sufficient" reasons

You cannot sue God
You cannot sue God... he has no known address !
An American politician's attempt to sue God has been thrown out of court after a judge ruled the suit could not be served because the Almighty has an unlisted address.
Ernie Chambers, a Nebraska state senator, sought a "permanent injunction" that ordered God to stop causing "widespread death, destruction and terrorisation of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants".
The suit listed examples of God's wrath including "fearsome floods, horrendous hurricanes, earthquakes, plagues, famine, genocidal wars, birth defects, terrifying tornadoes and the like".
It identified the defendant, said to be "also known by various aliases, titles, names, designations" as "present in all places at the same time" and "the admitted perpetrator of the deleterious acts complained of herein". The suit also claimed the "defendant" has "manifested neither compassion nor remorse, proclaiming that Defendant 'will laugh' when calamity comes". Mr Chambers, of Omaha, has said he filed the lawsuit not because of any conflict with God but to make the point that everyone should access to the courts.
It was response to proposals to prohibit the filing of lawsuits deemed too frivolous to be heard. The senator argued that laws should not restrict lawsuits and the courts should be open to all. "The Constitution requires that the courthouse doors be open, so you cannot prohibit the filing of suits," he said after he filed his suit last September. "Anyone can sue anyone they choose, even God." He also argued that because of God's omnipresence, "the defendant is personally present in Douglas County (Nebraska)." But Marlon Polk, Douglas County district court judge, ruled that under state law, a plaintiff must have access to the defendant and be able to serve papers on him or her for a lawsuit to go ahead. "Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice," the judge wrote.
Mr Chambers, 71, Nebraska's longest serving state senator who has been dubbed "defender of the downtrodden" and the "maverick of Omaha", disagreed with the judge's ruling. "The court itself acknowledges the existence of God," he said. "A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God's omniscience."
Therefore, "since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit", he added.
The senator, an independent, has served a record 38 years in the Nebraska Legislature and will not return next year because of term limits. According to the Associated Press, the self-proclaimed agnostic skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticises Christians He has 30 days to decide whether to appeal the ruling.

Quit Smoking Cold Turkey
It can be very difficult to quit smoking cold turkey, but it doesn't cost a thing and you can start today!
But "cold turkey." is the hardest ways to quit smoking?
I was able to quit "cold turkey," picking a day to smoke my last cigarette and vowing never to smoke again. When the decision to quit smoking comes suddenly, an important mental hurdle is throwing out that last pack of cigarettes. It's more helpful to some people to be able to remind themselves that they chose to throw the cigarettes away and never look back; this mental advantage isn't present for smokers who decide to quit smoking when the last pack is gone.
Nicotine Withdrawal
Quitting cold turkey can be very difficult, especially for people who have been smoking more cigarettes for a long period of time, because nicotine withdrawal can be a very unpleasant thing. What are some of the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal?..here they are:
- Irritability
- Intense craving for cigarettes
- Insomnia
- Tiredness
- Headaches
- Tension
- Problems concentrating
- Increased appetite
- Weight gain
Increased appetite and weight gain are important to note, because they are especially troubling to many people who are trying to quit smoking. Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, so it is hard for the body to adjust to a normal level of appetite. In general, though, the positive health effects of quitting smoking far outweigh the negative health effects of gaining a few extra pounds.
The important thing to remember is that the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal decrease over time. If you can make it through the early days of quitting cold turkey, it will get easier to avoid picking up cigarette smoking again as time goes by.
Tips for Cold Turkey Success
Keeping all of this in mind, there are some things you can do to make the cold turkey method easier on yourself, and make it less likely to start smoking again.
- One thing you need to do is to drink plenty of water.
- Not only will drinking water keep you hydrated and give you something to do with your mouth instead of puffing on a cigarette, but it will help your body flush the impurities out of your system faster.
- Keep your mouth busy.
- Chewing sugarless gum or sucking on hard candy will keep your mouth busy when you start feeling the need to smoke.
- Sucking on a lollipop or chewing on a straw or a pen will also give you something to hold onto if you need to keep your hands busy as well as your mouth.
- When a craving hits, try closing your eyes and counting to ten while taking some deep breaths. If that doesn't work, take a walk to get yourself away from temptation.
- If all else fails, call a friend, relative, co-worker, or a smoker's help line.
- Get some outside support to remind you of all the reasons why you decided to quit in the first place: your health, your family, your finances, your appearance, etc.
- Or talk about anything but smoking to divert your attention until the urge to smoke passes.
10 things that are wrong with the world
This article is my personal opinion, and if you chose to be offended, you have my permission to stew in your own negative energy and ruin your own day.
- OBESITY . People want things done as quickly and effortlessly as possible. The availability and popular use of video games, television, and automobiles prevent people from getting the exercise they need to stay healthy.
- GLOBAL WARMING Al Gore has brainwashed everyone into thinking there is a global climate crisis that our greenhouse gas emissions are depleting the o-zone, which will result in rising temperatures, melting polar ice-caps, the sea-level rising, ocean acidification, and an increase in the intensity of natural disasters; essentially the destruction of our earth. Anyone who believes this lobbiest bullshit should be declared legally retarded.
- COMMERCIALISM Advertising manipulates us into believing we need all of this excess junk to be happy PHARMACEUTICALS AND ANTI-DRUG CAMPAIGNSPrescription medication can be just as physically and psychologically damaging and addictive as drugs
- ANTI-TOBACCO Alright, who else is sick of those “ Truth" commercials that try to convince us of the evil of tabacco corperations? Get over it. Smoking and chewing is a personal choice of health and recreation that we all make daily, whether we succumb to eating fast food, taking medication, or polluting our environment. IGNORANCE No one educates themselves anymore. We accept everything that is fed to us, and no one seems to question why. Practically no one seeks, explores, defies, creates, or thinks outside of the box. INTERNATIONAL DIALING –So why the difference, why is it that the US and Canada need a different international RATES? In this age of computer driven systems couldn’t we simply get on board with the rest of the world?
- DRIVING Most of the planet drives on the left hand side of the road but NO the Brit’s Aussie’s, South Africans a couple of small African countries a few former British colonies in Asia. Anyway it’s foolish that in this day and age we haven’t managed to agree on which side of the road to drive on thus scaring the crap out of me every time I visit these countries.
- LANGUAGE The great barrier to business, travel and moving the planet forward. In the bible as I understand we all started out speaking the same language but God became angry and to force people to learn to get along he instantly had people speaking in different tongues. it’s time to pick a language and reunite as the human race.
- CURRENCY in 50 years maybe we could stop carrying around dozens of envelops and trying to remember the exchange rate or perhaps we could start thinking about a Western Dollar linking the European and America’s Dollar and an Eastern Dollar hooking up Africa and Asia. Signed : Dorina Ion

NBN Needs Tough Rules to Reduce Digital Divide
The National Broadband Network risks contributing further to the digital divide if tough rules regarding fair treatment and financial hardship are not ensured according the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN).
ACCAN CEO Teresa Corbin says 14% of the population aged 14 years and older currently do not have access to the Internet in their home or on their mobile phones, of which 42% reported that having Internet at home was simply too expensive.
Corbin says there has not been a credible discussion on affordability, because there has been no recognition of the difference between cheaper and affordable.
Corbin was speaking at the ACCAN national conference held in Sydney over September 7-8 titled Our Broadband Future.
Currently, Telstra has a legislative responsibility to provide a landline telephone to any Australian who wants one in their home. However, Corbin says it is unclear whether there will be any similar legislation regarding fair treatment and financial hardship around the NBN, or whether the market will be left to decide.
Opening the conference, the Minister for Communications, Steven Conroy said the broadband network will enhance the lives of all Australians who will be able to participate in the digital economy and reap its rewards.
However, Teresa Corbin says that even if there are almost perfect levels of competition that any economist would be happy with, the market will not deliver a level of affordability that will allow every Australian to have access to a broadband service, which is a problem, because internet access is no longer a luxury that is handy to have if you’ve got the money, it is essential.
Communications spokesman for the Australian Greens, Senator Scott Ludlum says he is unashamedly a supporter of the NBN, but warned that it needed to be kept publicly owned.
It’s future proof, built for technologies that haven’t even been invented yet, says Ludlum, and it’s important that a network is put together that will take Australia into the 21st century rather than leave a legacy.
However, the Shadow Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull says that the NBN is a bad deal for tax payers and a bad deal for consumers.
He says Internet prices have come down because of competition, then $50 billion or more of tax payer dollars is spent to build a new government monopoly and eliminate competition and that will see prices going up, so the Internet will become less affordable, rather than more affordable.
Corbin says that ACCAN does not have a position on the different party’s communications policies, but that their role is just to represent the consumers.
The NBN has already begun rolling out across Tasmania and is in the process of being introduced in the mainland. The Federal Government will be undertaking a public information and education campaign to inform Australians about how the network will be built and what steps will need to be taken to migrate across.
Less Affordable Australian Housing
Housing has become the biggest cost of living issue all over Australia and there is a significant crisis, according to a coalition of national housing, welfare and community sector organisations to highlight the problem of housing affordability in Australia The Australians for Affordable Housing (AAH) is a new campaign to challenge Australian governments to address housing affordability. AAH’s analysis: Australia’s broken housing system released today reveals the dire state of the Australian housing market for those trying to secure affordable housing.
In Queensland, for instance, housing costs are both the biggest item in household budgets and the fastest increasing cost – having increased 67 per cent in Brisbane over the last six years.
AAH spokesperson, Sarah Toohey said that in Brisbane it is becoming harder and harder to secure affordable housing as it now takes 6.7 times annual average income to afford the median house up from 4.5 times in 2001.
In the last ten years house prices have risen by 147 per cent while incomes have risen by only 57 per cent and in the last five years rents have risen at twice the rate of inflation,” said Ms Toohey.
“Australian households are paying more than they can afford for housing, with over 740,000 renters and more than 380,000 mortgaged home owners reporting significant financial stress.
“Despite significant investment in recent years, there is less public and community housing properties now than there was in 2003.
“Housing stress affects renters, first time buyers and home-owners. The Queensland housing system is failing too many people and successive government policy settings have contributed to this failure.
The AAH is calling on the state governments to commit to working with federal and local governments to solve this crisis.
“It’s time for a new approach, to develop a concrete plan to fix our housing system,” said Ms Toohey
Murphy's bywords
Trust everybody ... then cut the cards.
Two wrongs are only the beginning.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.
Exceptions prove the rule ... and wreck the budget.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
Quality assurance dosen't.
The tough part of a Data Processing Manager's job is that users don't really know what they want, but they know for certain what they don't want.

De vrei sa intri in viata, pazeste poruncile
OMUL
Orice om sanatos la minte isi pune intrebari referitoare la obarsia tuturor lucrurilor, la sensul existentei sale
si la scopul final pe care trebuie sa-l urmareasca.
„Dieu on rien“ – Dumnezeu sau nimic
De multe ori cei ce se declara necredinciosi de fapt isi impun sa creada ca nu este Dumnezeu pentru a-si
trai viata in neoranduiala si fara nici o cenzura morala.
Fara Dumnezeu, fara credinta, omul devine un animal rational care vine de nicaieri si merge spre nicaieri.
Altfel spus a fi sau mai degraba a deveni om, inseamna a fi religios. Adica a fi om inseamna a crede.
Dumnezeu se descopera nu unei minti ascutite ci unei inimi curate.
Omul se inalta prin spirit si coboara prin simturi.
Toti oamenii au trup si suflet dar nu toti au Duhul Sfant de la Sf. Botez pentru ca nu-l pastreaza prin credinta
si fapte bune.
Sf. Pavel zice: “Nu tulburati Duhul care este in voi de la Botez prin gandurile si faptele cele rele sau prin
vorbele cele spurcate.”
Nu trece cu vederea cuvintele inteleptilor, ci indeletniceste-te cu pildele lor.
Pune-ti nadejdea in Dumnezeu din toata inima si nu bizui pe priceperea ta.
Nostradamus Despre Romania
In 100 de catrene, Nostradamus a prezis evenimentele care aveau sa se intample p
ana in anul 3797. Pentru ca profanii sa nu le poata intelege, el si-a redactat o
racolele folosind modalitatile sintaxei latine, cu inversiuni, antiteze, anagram
e (Rapis pentru Paris, Nersaf pentru Franta, Norlaris pentru Loreni etc.), calam
bururi (Dort-léans pentru Orléans), metafore, cuvinte celtice, romane, spaniole,
latine, grecesti si ebraice.
Interpretarile Centuriilor
Unul dintre cei mai importanti interpreti ai profetiilor lui Nostradamus a fost
Vlaicu Ionescu, un roman emigrat in anii 1960 in SUA. Acesta a incercat sa demon
streze ca Nostradamus ar fi prevazut, printre altele, caderea regimului comunist
, dezmembrarea Uniunii Sovietice, precum si puciul de la Moscova in 1991. Aceste
interpretari au fost publicate in mai multe carti cu mult inainte de a se intam
pla, fapt ce i-a sporit lui Vlaicu Ionescu credibilitatea. S-a sustinut ca Nostr
adamus a prezis masacrul din noaptea Sfantului Bartolomeu a anului 1572, incendi
ul Londrei din 1667, instituirea Premiului Nobel, criza economica din 1929-1933,
o intalnire Hitler-Franco-Mussolini, revolutia din Ungaria din 1956, asasinarea
fratilor Kennedy, razboiul din Golful Persic, caderea comunismului si sfarsitul
lumii, atentie, in anul 3755, dupa altii, 3797. Nu este data explicita a parjol
irii planetei, ci doar presupusa data a incheierii previziunilor sale.
Nostradamus si-a prezis propria moarte
Deosebit de limpede este prezicerea de catre Nostradamus a propriei sale morti r
egasita in mai multe catrene. De obicei, exprimarea sa este impersonala, dar int
r-unul din catrene, el trece dramatic la persoana intai:
,,Intors din misiune, dar al regelui, tinut in loc, nu va mai face nimic. Se va
intoarce la Dumnezeu. Prietenii mei apropiati si cei din sangele meu. Ma vor gas
i mort intre pat si masa de lucru."
Nostradamus a fost gasit exact in locul indicat de el unde, incercand pesemne sa
se ridice din pat, a cazut in noaptea de 1 spre 2 iulie 1566.
Romania, limita a frontului estic
Norneigre, Dacia si Insula Britanica vor fi atacate de fratii cei uniti.
Un cap la Roma nascut din sange Galic.
Si armatele lor vor fi respinse pana la paduri.
Aici este vorba de operatia numita "metaplasma": din doua nume se ia cate o part
e, se pun laolalta si se formeaza un nou termen, care exprima sinteza primelor d
oua.
Intelesul catrenului se deseneaza cu claritate limitele pana la care au ajuns Pu
terile Centrale, in Primul Razboi Mondial, pe cele trei fronturi: la apus Anglia
, la sud Italia si regiunea nordica a Iugoslaviei, iar la rasarit Romania.
Marile raiduri din 1944
Patruzeci si cinci de grade cerul va arde
Focul se va apropia de marea cetate noua:
Intr-o clipa, flacari mari vor izbucni si se vor intinde,
Atunci cand se va planui sa fie pusi la incercare cei din Normandia.
Orasul Ploiesti e indicat aici prin paralela 45, care trece, intr- adevar, cu o
mare precizie pe langa aceasta localitate. Nici un alt oras de o anumita insemna
tate din Europa nu se afla pe aceasta paralela.
Al doilea vers ne spune ca focul bombardamentelor se va apropia de "marea cetate
noua". Expresia se potriveste bine cu cetatea lui Bucur, care e una din cele ma
i recente capitale din Europa. Ea devine capitala doar dupa ce, la 1600 (un seco
l dupa moartea lui Nostradamus), Targoviste e distrus de turci.
Sa remarcam acum exactitatea datelor acestui catren. Avioanele anglo-americane a
u bombardat, intr-adevar, mai intai Ploiesti, pentru a cobori apoi spre Bucurest
i, unde au bombardat Gara de Nord: "Focul se va apropia de marea cetate noua".
Al treilea vers arata cum incendiul a izbucnit deodata (instant) si cum s-a inti
ns subit pe o mare intindere (flamme esparse sautera).
In sfarsit, pentru a nu ramane nici o indoiala asupra circumstantelor istorice a
le acestor atacuri, ultimul vers ne spune ca acestea se vor face cand se va plan
ui tentativa din Normandia. Si intr-adevar, dupa cum am aratat, suprimarea surse
i de petrol romanesc a fost printre principalele masuri strategice care trebuiau
sa preceada invazia din Normandia.
Invazia sovietica din august 1944
Insula franca va fi poluata de Arnani,
Banda nesfarsita prin muntele Adrian:
Raul va fi trecut Hutin prin pod de plute,
Vor intra Bayonne toti strigand "Bichoro".
Romania, aceasta insula latina izolata in oceanul slav (isle franque), va fi int
inata si profanata (tholoser) de sovietici (Arnani=Nanari), acesti descedenti ai
prostitutiei revolutionare comuniste.
Hoardele nesfarsite (bande infinite) vor trece muntii Transilvaniei, tintind cat
re Germania de rasarit si Austria, regiunea muntilor unde s-a nascut Hitler (par
le mont Adrian).
Ele vor trece Nistrul (passer rivière) pe la Hotin (Hutin) printr-un pod de barc
i si scanduri (par pont la planque) si vor intra ca intr-o tara inamica, cu baio
netele trase (bayonné entrer) si cu strigatul de lupta: "catre Bucuresti!" (tous
Bichoro criant).
Romania Mare si drama Regelui Mihai
In anul cand fratii crinului vor fi in varsta,
Unul dintre ei va detine Romania Mare:
Muntii sai se vor cutremura, trecerea Latina fiind deschisa,
Mahnit va fi pentru a fi admis marsul contra puternicului din Armenia.
Se stie ca intre dinastiile din Europa se stabilisera legaturi de rudenie in cur
sul secolelor. Astfel, Casa de Hohenzollern poate fi privita ca sora a Capetieni
lor, ea insasi de origine germanica si indicata in catren prin semnul ei heraldi
c: crinul.
Iata cum confirmarea acestei interpretari data printr-o enigma pe cat de ingenio
asa, pe atat de neasteptata. Ea e continuta in expresia "ouvers Latin passage".
Ceea ce ne-a sugerat ca e vorba de un joc de cuvinte este schimbarea lui "t" fin
al din "ouvert" in "s" si, de asemenea, faptul ca "latin" e scris cu litera mare
, sugerand un nume propriu. Se vede astfel ca e vorba de o scurta anagrama: -s L
ATIN=STALIN.
Dar iata ca o noua confirmare ni se prezinta in ultimul vers. Aici Stalin e numi
t "fort d’Arménie", e o varianta a expresiei "le grand duc d’Arménie", cum e num
it in extraordinarul catren V-94, a carui solutie in extenso se afla in paginile
504-510 din prima noastra lucrare (1976) si la paginile 303-310 ale celeilalte
(1987).
In sfarsit, ni se spune ca regele Mihai va fi "faché" (suparat), ceea ce in limb
ajul nostradamian implica o grea lovitura sau o nenorocire. Mihai a fost obligat
, dupa cum se stie, sa abdice, de catre Stalin in 1947, dupa ce el este cel care
, impotriva planului lui Antonescu, rupe alianta cu Germania si lasa libera trec
erea fortelor sovietice prin tara. Faptul de a fi participat la agresiunea lui H
itler impotriva Uniunii Sovietice nu i s-a iertat totusi. Faptul de a fi "marche
r contre fort d’Arménie" a fost, dupa profet, cauza caderii sale.
Stalin si teroarea PCR
Toti aderentii care vor fi sustinut partidul
In favoarea celui al carui nume va fi dur si taios,
vor fi condamnati la moarte, striviti si distrusi.
Bunurile le vor fi luate prin confiscari publice,
pauperizare generala,
Niciodata poporul roman nu va fi fost atat de ultragiat.
Majoritatea aderentilor care vor fi sustinut "Partidul": aservit lui Stalin (qui
auront tenu party pour Rude en lèttres) vor fi condamnati la moarte (mis mort)
si exterminati in inchisori si lagare de munca (saccagés).
Mai toate valorile vor fi distruse (grand neanty) si toate posesiile vor fi conf
iscate si "nationalizate" (biens publiés par fisc).
Niciodata in trecutul sau poporul roman nu va fi fost atat de umilit si urgisit
(onc Romain peuple ne fut tant outragé).
Colapsul blocului socialist dupa 1989
Inainte de conflict marele zid va cadea,
Un cap de stat va fi dat mortii, o moarte prea subita si deplansa.
Noul nascut semi-perfect: caci majoritatea va inota:
Aproape de fluviu, pamantul va fi patat de sange.
Inaintea conflictului dintre seful reformator din Moscova si Ceausescu, ramas fi
del totalitarismului stalinian (avant conflict), Zidul din Berlin va cadea.
Marele (tiran) roman va fi executat (le grand à mort). Moartea sa, dupa doar tre
i zile de la arestare (mort trop subite), va fi mult regretata (plainte).
Noul guvern (nay) va fi doar jumatate din ceea ce revolutia populara va fi voit
(miparfaict), caci majoritatea activistilor de partid se vor mentine la putere (
la plupart nagera).
La Timisoara si la Bucuresti, doua orase apropiate de Dunare (auprès du fleuve),
va fi pamantul patat de sangele revolutionarilor romani (de sang la terre teint
e).
