John Ankerberg talks about what some people believe today. Towards the middle he explains what it is to be saved and how to be saved.

How would you like to grow an abundance of organic vegetables without any pesticides, without any weeds and minimal bug/fungus problems?

Can you imagine growing plants that grow twice the size of ones grown in the ground?

One grower says: “My bother has 14 tomato plants. I outproduce him with just three!”

Well, with the patented EarthBoxes ® , you can. The American Horticulture Society has given the 2003 G.B. Gunlugson Award, a prestigious award, for contributions to horticulture, to Blake Whisenant for his EarthBox invention. Order your EarthBoxes ® here: http://www.earthboxresearch.com/

In today’s world of bacterial infected vegetation, rising food prices, and organic concerns, I believe you have found the answer. (I wrote this in an email to the company)

Home-grown vegetables without a garden! "Fresh-picked" vegetables and herbs right from your patio. Now anyone can grow them without any work or gardening experience. The average EarthBox ® should produce 30 to 40 pounds of tomatoes twice a year in Florida.

The smart garden that tends itself! Just fill it with soil, fertilize once and add water as needed. That's it. Pick a healthy salad right from your porch! The EarthBox ® automatically provides the perfect amount of moisture, nutrients and tender-loving care - 24 hours a day. There's no weeds, no guessing and no fretting - the EarthBox ® makes gardening carefree and fun.

Plain & Simple! No fancy soils or hydroponics, just a natural growing system that's self watering, self feeding and lasts a lifetime. The EarthBox ® has all the gardening skills built in. It works even while you're away on vacation.

The patented design makes the difference! Plants are smarter than we think. The EarthBox ® lets the plants "decide for themselves "how much water and fertilizer they need. Your plants thrive as they tap into a constant water supply of nutrients. The Result: happier, healthier, vegetables...and gardeners too!

The EarthBox ® is the product of a lifetime dream and eight years of diligent research by Blake Whisenant. The Patented EarthBox ® is based on the gradient system which was recognized by Dr. C.M. Geraldson, Professor Emeritus, of the University of Florida.

The incorporation of the gradient system in the box makes it possible for anyone, whether amateur or professional to grow superb vegetables or flowers. The box provides minimal management, minimal water and minimal pollution.

Since the potting mix in The EarthBox ® is covered, weeds don’t even have a chance to start. There’s never any need to pull weeds or use herbicides.

You can use organic fertilizer. The EarthBox ® gives a whole new meaning to "green".

Bill Gates, If you see this, please help the people of New Orleans. You are looking for charities and people to help now that you are retired. This would be a great place to start! Respectfully, Kim Pestana

Red Bull really DOES give you wings! I have tried the 5 Hour energy which does not work for me. I like the green tea but nothing works like Red Bull. Coffee just makes me irritable and shaky. I drink Red Bull for the effect. Does that mean I am a Red Bull-a-holic? Well so be it, the stuff is great! I don't feel after effects like a letdown or hang-over effects. I just LOVE the stuff. Going to renew my Sam's Club membership, once I have a job and stock up on RED BULL!!!

Students - want to know what professors are cool and which ones to avoid. Go to: http://ratemyprofessors.com/

Ladies, if you want to know if a man sincerely cares about you, he will let you know with his actions. Forget what he says - it is meaningless if the actions are not consistent with his words.

If he really cares, he will approach you to talk. He will chase you. You won't have any doubt in your mind that he is interested in you. He will shower you with gifts (a flower, a card, simple things are cool, they don't have to be expensive gifts).

He won't rush you into a relationship - guys with ulterior motives or control issues do those things.

He will respect your values, boundaries, and the word "no".

He won't play stupid games (signs of immaturity and insecurity - run the other way).

He will chase you. He will call you. He will ask you out. He won't even DREAM of letting you pay for anything.

So you can waste your time with the wrong men, get hurt, feel taken advantage of or you can live your life happily with your family, friends, relationship with God, and your dreams and goals for your future.

Want to make your own ringtones from your songs that you purchase?

It is ok as long as you paid for the song and don't sell the ringtone.

1. Download Audacity.

2. Install it.

3. Run it (open the program).

4. Click on "Project then scroll to and select Import Audio", select the music file you want to edit.

5. It will open up and you will see a bunch of vertical lines (visual of audio file)

6. Click on the Play button. Note the part of the song you want to use, see the location (the file has numbers at the top) for beginning and the end. With your mouse, click on the beginning section and scroll to the ending section.

7. Select copy, then select new file.

8. Paste the selection.

9. Click on play and make sure you are not in the middle of a segment or cutting off a segment.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 until the song sounds the way you want it to.

1l. Click on File, then scroll to and select Export as .WAV.

12. Save it to your desktop or in a location you can find the file.

13. Don't close Audacity yet. Go to the file you just saved. Right click on it and select Properties. It should be less than 3MB or you won't be able to upload to your phone.

14. If it is not less than 3MB then repeat steps 6 to 9 again or select a shorter section of the song.

15. Once you have done this, then you can email it to yourself. examples (999)[email protected]. You must send it as a picture file or video file since they can accommodate larger file sizes with diff. formats than text messaging. If you are having trouble, email me via myspace and I will help you. Have fun!!!

Respect. Respect is the most important word, besides God, to me. People that do not respect you and your values do not qualify as a friend or even an acquaintance. People that try to cross your boundaries are not healthy people. Run the other way!

YOUR DREAMS: Hang on to your dreams. Remember that life is a series of problems to be solved. There is always help just around the corner. Ask for it and you will get it.

Learning to program using Python. It is soo cool. Last night I decided to do my homework assignment. Since I didn't do it shortly after class, I was forgetting how to do things. I felt a little overwhelmed. But I figured, I will start it and when I go to run the program, it will tell me when I make errors. And it did but using the book, I was able to figure out what I did wrong. I felt like a superhero when I actually figured out how to calculate something the book told me might be difficult. hahaha.

Thanks to a great professor, I now am back to a 100 average in my Programming Concepts Class (yes, you guessed it, Python)!!!

This is really funny!! It's called Pastor's cat: This particular story just made me laugh. Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses me. Hope the story leaves a bright spot in your day. Whoever said the Creator doesn't have a sense of humor?
Dwight Nelson recently told a true story about the pastor of his church. The Pastor had found a kitten that had climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc.
The kitty would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away so that the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.
That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went "boiiiiiing!" and the kitten instantly sailed through the air-out of sight. The pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray kitten. So he prayed, "Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping," and went on about his business.
A few days later he was at the grocery store, and met one of his church members. He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, "Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?" She replied, "You won't believe this," and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, "Well, if God gives you a cat, I'll let you keep it."
She told the pastor, "I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her."
Never underestimate the Power of God and His unique sense of humor!

Television:

Ever made up your own sports? Two of mine are: 1. Going tubing on a really fast boat that takes very sharp turns and there you go whipping across the water holding on for dear life! 2. Putting on cross country skiis and going down a hill where people go sledding. The object is not to wipe out.

A friend of mine used to ride bikes through swamps. That sounds more like ride, get stuck, get out, ride, get stuck, get out,etc.
