1/18/11 Cyber Tips: How to keep your
cell phone info private. If you don't have
one already, set up a password on your phone (avoid 1234,
4321, or four consecutive numbers like 5555). Many
applications request using your location information when
you open them. We recommend you refuse to unless you believe
there is a good reason to do so (ie, track your progress
along a route). Remember, many apps are free because they
sell information like this about you to others. Change the
settings in your smartphone (if it has GPS) to remove
location data from pictures before posting to a social media
site. The date, time and location can tell a criminal that
you are away from home. Keep y our whereabouts private
(don't "check in" to a location). If your phone has
antitheft software, enable the feature that lets you locate
your cell phone in case of loss or theft. You can also
remote lock it and send a text message if someone has simply
picked it up, or turned it in where you lost it. If your
phone doesn't come with it, install software that has this
feature and the next one. Install software that has a
feature called "remote wipe" that lets you erase all
information on your phone in case it is lost or stolen.

1/8/11 New twist on Creation by
Scientology: Around 75 million years ago Xenu, the
ruler of a Galactic Confederation of 76 planets, transported
billions of his charges in spaceships similar to DC-8 jets
to a planet called Teegecack (Earth). There they were placed
near volcanoes and killed by exploding hydrogen bombs, after
which their "thetans" (souls) remained to inhabit the bodies
of future earthlings, causing humans today great spiritual
harm and unhappiness that can be remedied through special
techniques involving an Electopsychometer (E-meter) in a
process called auditing. So, is it Myth, Religion, or
Science Fiction? ... Scientific American, Nov 2011.

1/6/12 So kind he was. One
afternoon a congressman was riding in his limousine when he
saw two men along the road-side eating grass. Disturbed, he
ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate. He
asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't
have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to
eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my
house and I'll feed you." the congressman said. "But
sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over
there, under that tree." "Bring them along," the congressman
replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You may
come with us, also." The second man, in a pitiful voice,
then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children
with me!" "Bring them all as well," the congressman
answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task,
even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once under
way, one of the poor fellows turned to the congressman and
said, "Sir, you are too kind." "Thank you so much for taking
all of us with you!!" The congressman replied, "Glad
to do it." "You'll really love my place." "The grass is
almost a foot high."

12/8/11 "Li'l Abner" was a comic strip
drawn by Al Capp in the 1960s. Many of the student war
protesters started camping out and marching to protest the
Vietnam War in much the same way the Wall Street protesters
are doing. Capp drew many of his strips about the young
protesters and the mess they usually made of things. He gave
them the name, SWINE, an acronym for Students Wildly
Indignant About Nearly Everything. ..Paul Brode

12/6/11 The welfare state has grown too
large to be easily supported economically. Wealthy
nations adopted programs for education, health care,
unemployment insurance, old-age assistance, public housing
and income redistribution. Public spending for these
activities had been almost nonexistent at the beginning of
the 20th century. In 1870, all government spending was 7.3
percent of national income in the United States, 9.4 percent
in Britain, 10 percent in Germany and 12.6 percent in
France. By 2007, the figures were 36.6 percent for the
United States, 44.6 percent for Britain, 43.9 percent for
Germany and 52.6 percent for France. No wonder Europe faces
this impossible problem. Europe's growth rate was at 2.1
percent and recently, it's been lower. Demographics shifted
also. In 2000, Italy's 65 and over population was 18 percent
of the total, in 2010 it was 21 percent, and it is projected
in 2050 to be 34 percent. The EU's 27 countries figures are
16 percent, 18 percent, and 29 percent.
In the United States the problem is
similar. Vast populations in Europe and America expect
promised benefits and resent any hint that they will be cut.
As deficits or taxes rise, the risk is that economic
instability will increase, growth will decline, or both. The
paradox is that the welfare state, designed to improve
security and dampen social conflict, now looms as an engine
for insecurity, conflict and disappointment. ...

11/30/11 Major US banks were downgraded
this week, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP
Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley. You
might want to consider a backup plan should the finance
bubble burst. Find a small, local bank that is not heavily
invested like the big money banks. Put surplus funds into
this small bank. Daily cashflow can continue to run through
your primary bank. It's prudent and necessary to assume that
FDIC coverage of accounts will not actually take place right
away, when the system implodes. The smaller local banks may
still be operating.

11/29/11 Patriotism - On July 4,
1776, our Founding Fathers put their lives on the line and
declared that America would be independent and free. On June
6, 1944, American troops landed at Normandy as a critical
step toward ending history's bloodiest war. On September 11,
2001, we witnessed the deadliest terrorist attack ever to
take place on American soil. These events shaped our
destiny. They still affect our lives today. On November 6,
2012 - America must decide how our nation is to be governed.
You know in your gut that something is deeply wrong in our
country -- that the America you know and love is about to
jump the tracks and that, soon, there will be no turning
back. And you know in your gut that the America you know and
love cannot withstand our governments leaders dismantling
the heritage of our country and the foundations of our
freedom. Your vote will be very important. ...Wayne LaPierre

11/19/11 to 11/20/11 Chimera, 36 hrs, 100k/100 miles,
BlueJay Campground off of 74. This will be similar to the
Ultra Run on 10/9/11 but just a little little little bit
longer and a whole lot harder. During the night there was
frost on the ground. At the trail head in Corona (Indian
Truck Trail), it was in the 30's. I never warmed up that
night. So how did these runners make the trek thru the cold
and darkness. Think about it, 100 miles on the mountian
somewhere between Orange County and Riverside County, all
night long, 30 to 36 hours of running. I had a hard time
just staying awake that long without all the running.

| 11/14/11 Go Forth. When all is
said and done, have you done or said enough? Have you just
gone along for the ride, or have you steered destiny's hot
rod? When you leave this world, did you make it any better
than it was when you arrived? All you need is all
you've got: your wits and the clothes on your back. Your
epitaph is yours to earn, your legacy is yours to make. ...
Levi's Ad. And from the newspaper, .. High school dropouts
earn 33 cents for every dollar college graduates earn and 66
cents for every dollar high school graduates earn. On
average, dropouts die 10 years sooner. Their unemployment
rates in 2010 were 50 percent higher than high school
graduates' and 200 percent greater than college graduates.

11/11/11 Veterans Day. Some
veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing
limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may
carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone
together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg or perhaps another
sort of inner steel: The soul's ally forged in the refinery
of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women
who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You
can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet? He is the
cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia
sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel
carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom
loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown
frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the
cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the
38th parallel. She or he is the nurse who fought against
futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid
years in Danang. He is the POW who went away one person and
came back another or didn't come back AT ALL. He is the
Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat but has
saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account
rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to
watch each other's backs. He is the parade riding
Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a
prosthetic hand. He is the career quatermaster who watches
the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the the three
anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence
at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the
memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor remains
unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's
sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the
supermarket, aggravatingly slow, who helped liberate a Nazi
death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were
still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He is an
ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being a person who
offered some of his life's most vital years in the service
of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others
would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a Soldier, Marine,
Sailor or Airman, and also a savior and a sword against the
darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest
testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation evere
known. So remember each time you see someone who has served
our country. When you see one just lean over and say Thank
You. God Bless Our Veterans! .. anonymous

exit. Once you get the ladder, you need to train your family
on proper use and how to get up and out the window safely.
Don't wait until there is a fire to get it out. You might
need a stepstool and grab bars on the wall plus a tool to
assist with the screen. And, you might need to teach your
children to use it when you are not available to help them.

10/6/11 Breaks My Heart, We Have To Do
Better - If euthanasia rates are any indication,
Lake Elsinore and Wildomar earn the unfortunate distinction
of having the highest number of unwanted pets in Southwest
Riverside County. According to Southwest Communities Animal
Shelter statistics, during fiscal year 2010-11 nearly half
of all dogs and cats euthanized at the shelter came from
Lake Elsinore or Wildomar.
How can humans do that to their pets? These animals
give us so much, they speak to us in so many silent ways, if
you would just listen. Shame on you, for abandoning your
pets. Your actions speak a lot about the type of person you
are.

8/1/11 Dogs Rule. 62% of
americans have a pet, and 69% have a dog, 51% a cat. Dogs
have more stamina - think Husky and the annual Iditarod.
Cats are more agile, they can survive a belly flop from
higher floors than dogs can. But cats can't play frisbee.
Cats are the better hunter, catching birds and will go for
the kill on other small vermin. Dogs are the hardest working
- guide the blind, chase down criminals, sniff out illegal
drugs, detect termites, and gas leaks.The average house cat
lays down 80% of the day. Cats and small dogs live the
longest. Although cats are fast in a short sprint,
they can't match the speed and endurance of a greyhound.
Cats are the most independent, they don't need us.
Dogs have the best sense of smell, between 150 to 300
million receptors in their nose. Cats only have 45 to 80
million, and us mere humans have about 5 million. Dogs are
smarter, they can learn 165 words and the smartest are the
border collies, poodles, german shepherds and golden
retrievers. Cats learn maybe 35 words. Dogs are far easier
to train and have the capacity for complex thought and
problem solving. Cats evolved as loners, a factor that
doesn't favor intelligence. Dogs are highly social.

7/18/11 You cannot legislate the poor
into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
What one person receives without working for, another person
must work for without receiving. The government cannot give
to anybody anything that the government does not first take
from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea
that they do not have to work because the other half is
going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the
idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is
going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is
about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by
dividing it. ... Ayn Rand

family and me. I once read that: "A veteran is someone who, at
one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to:
The United States of America for an amount of - up to and
including my life." That is some deep stuff, but
with our Nation's Independence Day happening Monday, I hope
that each of you takes the time to remember all of the
people that gave us the right to continue celebrating that
blessed day. Celebrate it with the ones you love and that
matter most to you. ... Tim Schmidt, USCCA

7/2/11 Perv at the Pool. A man
was arrested Saturday at the south pool for photographing
young girls. He was using the ploy of asking the female
juveniles to help him work his cell phone camera because he
did not know how to use it. Talk to your children and watch
them this summer. Don't leave them alone.

6/28/11 Since the state controller cut
off pay to legislators for failing to pass a
balanced budget by the June 15 constitutional deadline, the
state has saved in salaries and per diem: $486,034.50.
That's almost half a million in a two week period. Keep it
up and we will balance the budget. ... The Desert

if we did this at the Federal Level until we got a balanced
budget.

6/17/11 Keep an eye out for the fire
hydrant thief. Some low life is running around
turning off the water and removing the fire hydrant. These

6/16/11 Japan Earthquake Film -
Planet Green did a 1 hour show on the Earthquake and
resulting disaster to the people of Japan. Lots of live
video footage, interviews, and animated explanations. Worth
watching. Impressed by the amount of water and the force
when it came ashore. Another scene showed the swaying
buildings in Tokyo lasting 5 minutes, then repeating again
in an hour, and then repeating again, and again. People were
squatting down outside and inside looking around wondering
what was next.

6/15/11 Set goals and attain them.
"An article in Sunday's paper details Sarah Palin's shocking
desire to have goals and ambitions. Absent in the
emails are any goals to post lewd photos of herself on
Twitter or to have sex with a campaign staff member while
her spouse is dying of cancer. And you didn't see anything
about having sex with an intern in the oval office. My
parents were survivors of the Great Depression, raised six
children and taught us to set many goals and to be
ambitious. Now, a senior citizen, I am blessed to have a
comfortable life because of many goals I set for
myself. Without setting realistic, moral and tangible
goals in life, you'll end up becoming a Democrat." by

6/12/11 Take care of our first
responders. Many live in our community. Watch their
house, feed their dog, and cut their lawn when they go on
vacation. Invite them over for a BBQ. During an emergency,
you want them to be your friend, because they might have
contact with the outside world when our phone, internet and

6/9/11 Will you be safer?
Recently California released 450 dangerous criminals from
prison due to a computer error. Then the Supreme Court
announced that 30,000 more prisoners must be released in the
next two years because of overcrowding. The state
legislature continues to push for antigun laws which make it
easier for the criminals. And, the Riverside Sheriff's
office sent out hundreds of layoff notices to officers and
staff. More criminals and fewer law enforcement
doesn't sound good to me.

told
police he observed a male customer on surveillance cameras
putting a laptop computer under his jacket. When confronted
the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife
and ran for the door. Outside on the sidewalk were four
Marines collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program. The
Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of the Marines,
in the back; the injury did not appear to be severe. After
Police and an ambulance arrived at the scene, the Marine was
transported for treatment. According to the police report,
"The subject was also transported to the local hospital with
two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several
missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions,
assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw ....
injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off the curb
after stabbing the Marine. |
| 5/20/11 Gee, what a concept! In a
bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by
federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy
Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) proposed that
borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to
qualify. His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a
party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn)
explained, "Passage of such a requirement would
restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it
." I can't add anything to this. |

long time - maybe the best ever! You can

of the country, shows it from the beginning of the 13 states
and going through the present. It includes the acquisitions
from England
and Spain, the Slave states, the Free states, a segment on
the Civil war,
it includes some mentions of Central and South America,
etc. One of the things I especially liked was showing the
Indian Nations as they were during the Indian Wars:
Modac, Miwok, Mujave, Nez Perce, Flat Head, Crow, Cheyenne,
Arapaho, Navajo,
Apache, Dakota, Sioux, Kiowa, Wichita and Comanche. I
know you'll enjoy this site, especially if you enjoy
American history, but have forgotten a lot of what was
learned in school. Turn on your sound, as the narration is a

but you won't get out! |
| 4/19/11 All on You. If you want things
to be better – finances, investments, careers, relationships
– you have to make them that way. As Dr. Seuss
said in his infinite wisdom: Unless someone like you
cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.
It's not. Everything from how much you make to how
well your investments do to the mileage your car gets is up
to you. If you want something to be different, change
it. Research everything. Read more. Compare prices. Keep
receipts. Don't rely on government – or anyone, for that
matter – but instead use them as tools. Seek advice and
counsel from those who know more, but interpret it your own
way and apply it to your situation. |
| 4/13/11 Neighborhood Watch meeting at

| 4/9/11 Make a Plan
- Disaster Preparation - Before
the incident, Plan A - During the incident,
you might need to revise this several times - After the
incident, ongoing activities. - Plan A lasts about 5
minutes - Plan B is made
under stress. You need to be good at this and don’t shut
down. |
| 4/9/11 Build
A Kit - When a disaster strikes you will need
things quickly. - Build several types of kits for different
needs - Immediate evac, like a house fire
- 10 minutes to get things, then go, like a
brush fire evacuation - What to take if you go to local
friends/family, or a longer way away and
for a longer time - If you drive vs walk, gas, shelter,
food, water, things - What if you need to shelter in
place but you can't live in the house because of damage.
- Will your kit fit on your back, or in your car? How
much is required for your family? |
| 4/9/11 Get Trained - The Red Cross and
others offer many training opportunities. You need training
to help you better prepare the Plan and to build a better
Kit. Volunteer to help yourself,
your family, your friends and neighbors. |

it's April Fools Day and we know that someone is fooling
with us. Not! |
| 3/31/11 CERT Training Class was great.
Teenagers to the elderly attended, all backgrounds and job
experiences. We got fire saftey and some fire fighting
experiences. How to size up a building after a disaster
hits. Search teams entering dark and smoky building, must
ID/tag victims based on Immediate, Delayed, Minor or Dead.
Rescue teams are used to extract the injured. Medical
teams are setup outside to perform first aid on the victims
with priority given to those in Immediate danger. The
Incident Commander must keep track of what the teams have
seen, what they are doing and what they need. Very realistic
training exercise on the last day. CERT team members do not
put themselves into harms way. If the building is unsafe to
enter, the victims don't get rescued. Limited resources,
focus on the greatest good, maybe a school of small
children. Search teams are not to perform first aid. They
have about 30 secs to assess each victim. If you aren't
breathing, they will move your head, but not give CPR. If
you are spurting red blood, they might put something over
the wound. If you leg is broken or your arm is gashed open,
that will wait until your extracted and in the medical area.
We can't be super heros like the firemen, because we don't
have the equipment, the extra training, the physical
strength or stamina. We could do more if there were more
trained volunteers in the community. Even the firefighters
know to pull back and wait for the Beaker Boys (Hazmat
Teams) or the Glow Worms (Radiation Teams) to arrive. If the
smoke is not the right color or the air smells strange,
turn and run. Get out of the building. |

| 3/26/11 Water for Emergency Preparedness
. Costco has 6 gallons of water for $3.99 in a box. Can
be stacked. You should plan on 1 gallons of water per
day per person. Start with water for 3 days and increase it
to a week and then 10 days. Plan for your pets. Empty
gallons can be refilled with tap water for your pets or for
washing or flushing should all your water be turned
off. If you prefer, add in specialty bottled
waters, juice, children drinks, and organic soymilk
that does not require refrigeration. Remember, you have
water in your hot water heater. Don't plan on the water in
your pools because it contains salt or other chemicals that
will be harmful to your kidneys and liver. |

| 3/16/11 Neighborhood Watch
meeting tonight at 6:30pm. Fire Safety
Challenge. Your children are home with a
babysitter, you are out for the evening. A fire starts at
the bottom of the stairs, smoke alarm is going off. What
will your children do? Small children tend to go to
their safe place, under the bed or in the closet. Smoke
kills and so can Carbon Monoxide even before the fire
reaches their room. Fire Department could be 5 minutes away.
What do you want want your children to do? The
Eddie Eagle Gun Safety for Children will be
presented. The program is for parents, churches and schools
to assist in training small children about gun safety. Stop,
Don't Touch, Back Away, Get an Adult is the theme. Free
pamplets and children workbooks are available for each
house. You just need to call and order them. |
| 3/16/11 Citizen Corps had their meeting
last night. Not enough people in our community are trained
to assist in a major disaster. First responders will
probably not be able to help. We will be on our own for a
period of time. You may have to turn to your neighbors for
help. What if no one knows how to help you? Free CERT
training is being provided on March 29, 30, and 31 in Lake
Elsinore. All you need to do is sign up. Call 951-674-5170

3/12/11 Earthquake in Japan, so much
damage, it was 3000 times stronger than our
Northridge earthquake. From the news reports, "Training
only goes so far. No one knew what to do. They were
frozen." This earthquake was way more powerful than
what they all had trained for. Training is important. The
City of Lake Elsinore wants to get us prepared for a
disaster. The Citizen Corps is preparing and will support
the community. Neighborhood Watch is trying to provide
local training. Homeowners need to do their part and
prepare. You will only be as good as your training. If you
have some training and are partially prepared, you will do
better than others that have not prepared. Normally, when
you have an emergency, trained professionals are only
about 5 minutes away. You just have to hang on for 5
minutes. If they need more help other responders will fill
in. When there is a regional disaster, there are no more
responders. Our one sheriff car and one fire station will
attempt to cover our community and the shopping center
down by the freeway. Dispatch will give first
priority to hospitals, elderly care facilities, and
schools. Individual homeowners will probably be on their
own.

surroundings, don't open your door to strangers, stay out of
risky locations, don't provoke situations by your
dress-action-words, and keep your vehicles secured. It will
take law enforcement 5 minutes or more to respond
to your cry for help, you need to deal with the first 5
minutes. When necessary you can fill out the crime report on
