Bible Vs. Cell Phone

Great Email I received today...
 
 
 Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone? 
 
 What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? 
 
  What if we flipped through it several time a day? 
 
  What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? 
 
  What if we used it to receive messages from the text? 
 
  What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? 
 
  What if we gave it to Kids as gifts? 
 
  What if we used it when we traveled? 
 
  What if we used it in case of emergency? 
 
  This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible? 
  
 Oh, and one more thing.
 
 Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being
 disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
 
 Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls! 
 
 When Jesus died for us, he was thinking of you! 

If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for  
 Him, forward this.  93% of the people won't forward it.

Undertaker 18 and 0 at Wrestlemania


3 tombstones. 3 Sweet Chin Music's. The greatest match in wrestling match was surpassed by same two men doing it again with Micheal's career on the line. This match was like two heavy people on a see saw. I was amazed. The counters were unspeakable. Shawn Micheals backwards flip onto the UnderTaker was amazing. The figure four leg locks and hell's gate were unbelievable.

Shawn then kicked out of a tombstone. Undertaker in disbelief stared down at him. "Stay Down!" was shouted by the Taker. Micheals clawed at the Taker trying to stand up. Micheals was desperate, not even being able to get up as he looked like a broken man. The Undertaker stood tall above. Then...
Micheals then slapped the Undertaker. The fasted Tombstone  ever seen to man executed was hit. 1-2-3. Goodbye HBK...The end of another legend

Who Remembers Santa's Village












Heres a Great Pictorial Memory For You.......

Santa's Village Dundee

Santa's Village in East Dundee, Illinois (1959-2006) was a theme park built in 1959 by H. Glenn Holland who also built the other two in San Bernardino County, California and Santa Cruz County, California. This park was the third and last that he built. The buildings were modeled on what an average child might imaging Santa's Village would look like. When it opened, it was a very prominent theme park. Over the parks history more than 20 million people passed through the front gates.

One addition to the park, opened in 1963, was the Polar Dome which provided an ice skating and hockey venue under a forced-air supported dome. On November 28, 1966, a strong wind caused the Polar Dome to collapse. [1] The dome was then replaced by a flat cedar roof.

The unsuccessful launch of the Typhoon roller coaster and decreased attention to the aesthetics of the park eventually prompted the corporation to sell. The sale did not proceed as smoothly as hoped, and with many setbacks and unmet deadlines the park had to shut its doors.

Discussion are underway for a new Santa’s Village in Utica, Illinois. This new park would incorporate the look of the original three Santa’s Villages, including original rides, attractions, and shops.

WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING



After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to
Target.
Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get
in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she
loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from
the local Target.

Dear Mrs. Samuel,

Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our
store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both
of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Samuel,
are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other
people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute
intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the
women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice,
'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to
leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that
in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time
and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on
layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children
shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from
the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and
screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a
mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked
the clerk where the antidepressants were.

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming
the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by
using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through,
yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed
a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'


And last, but not least:

15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile,
then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of
the clerks passed out.

The Italian Bank Robber






A hooded armed robber bursts into the Bank of Italy and





forces the tellers to load a sack full of cash.





On his way out the door with the loot, one brave Italian customer grabs the





hood and pulls it off revealing the robber's face.





The robber shoots the guy in the head without hesitation!





He then looks around the bank to see if anyone else has seen him.





One of the tellers is looking straight at him. The robber walks over





and calmly shoots him in the head.





Everyone by now is very scared and looking down at the floor.





"Dida anyone elsa see a my face?" calls the robber.









There follows a tense silence. Then an elderly Italian gent, looking





down, tentatively raises his hand and says:









"I tinka my wifa may have caughta glimpse"

Why Facebook wants your I.D.


On the walls of Facebook's Palo Alto (Calif.) headquarters hang multiple prints of Rene Magritte's painting The Son of Man. The company's execs see the image of a man's face obscured by a green apple as a metaphor for the millions who surf the Web anonymously. "Part of what Facebook is trying to do is help people take the apple away," says Chris Cox, the company's vice-president for product.
Facebook has good reasons to push people to be up front about who they are online. As the world's largest social networking site, it stands to reap a fortune if it can help customize advertising and product pitches to the characteristics of each user. But many people are reluctant to share personal information on the Web. They're particularly concerned about entrusting their identities to companies such as Facebook, which seeks to profit from the information it collects. "Fundamentally, Facebook is a business," says Kaliya Hamlin, co-founder of the Internet Identity Workshop advocacy group. "Their business is about monetizing the people in their network."

Almost any online activity leaves traces of your identity, from a Google search (what you're looking for) to an Amazon.com visit (what you're buying). Yet there's no widely accepted identity standard online--the equivalent of a driver's license or Social Security number. Facebook wants to change that by creating a digital calling card that could be used to identify people pretty much wherever they go on the Web. To help in the effort, in August Facebook hired one of the pioneers of online identification. David Recordon co-founded OpenID Foundation, a nonprofit group that maintains a set of open standards for Web identity. He plans to apply the foundation's principles of openness and transparency to Facebook. Already, the social network lets new users register with their name and password from Google's Gmail service, and Recordon says similar arrangements with other companies are in the works. "Standards are the plumbing layer of the Internet," says the 23-year-old. "For them to be successful they have to be freely shared."

Facebook argues that most services on the Web become more useful when they know something about users. One early example is Facebook Connect, a program that lets users log into their profile and interact with Facebook friends on more than 80,000 Web sites. When people sign in to YouTube with Facebook Connect, the video site highlights clips their friends enjoyed. For President Barack Obama's inauguration, CNN let online viewers use Facebook Connect to chat with others watching the ceremony. Almost 60 million of the social network's 350 million users have signed up for Facebook Connect in the year since it was introduced.

Facebook Connect is also integrated into Web-connected devices, including Apple's iPhone and Microsoft's Xbox gaming console. The technology lets friends play games and catch up with each other while they're away from the PC. Facebook expects that as a greater variety of devices connect to the Net, users will see even more benefit. For example, you may soon be able to get in your car and tell the GPS to direct you to a person, rather than an address. "That kind of disruptive change can apply to a lot of different industries," says Bret Taylor, who works on Facebook Connect.

Such changes may also help companies profit from Facebook's data. On Dec. 2, Yahoo! announced a partnership with Facebook that will let users of the social network identify themselves on Yahoo sites and share articles, photos, and other content with friends. In part of the agreement that was not announced, Yahoo intends to tap Facebook user data to place display ads targeted to individuals on its own pages, according to a source familiar with the plan. In theory, this means advertisers will be able to pay Yahoo to get ads in front of a specific demographic group, such as women from California, if the users have shared their Facebook credentials with the site.

Those are the kinds of deals that make privacy advocates and individuals skittish. Facebook is already a big business, with estimated revenues of $500 million in 2009, and financial pressures are likely to grow as it considers an initial public offering. Facebook sparked an uproar this month when it made a series of changes to its privacy settings, including revoking the ability of users to hide their name, gender, profile picture, and hometown from anyone who views their profile. It also gave Facebook Connect partners access to the same information. The changes "reduced flexibility and control for users over their privacy in a myriad of ways," says Kevin Bankston, an attorney for the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Recordon's old friends at OpenID are raising warning flags, too. Chris Messina, a board member at the nonprofit, concedes his group's technology isn't as easy to use as Facebook's, but says Web sites should continue to support OpenID since Facebook may prioritize profits over privacy. "It's just too soon to let Facebook determine the future of identity on the Web," he says.
Facebook says it doesn't want to monopolize the development of identity technology. And Recordon claims that competition from companies such as Google will help push everyone to come up with ways to protect privacy while also helping people reap the benefits of sharing their identity. It's still so early, he says, "innovation is important."

BUSINESS EXCHANGE: Read, save, and add content on BW's new Web 2.0 topic network
To Catch a Twitterer

Can one go incognito in the Digital Age? Wired's Evan Ratliff took a fake identity and went missing in August.

A $5,000 reward lured a group of amateur gumshoes to find him using traces he left on Facebook, Twitter, and other sites. An entrepreneur in Seattle nabbed him in less than a month. Ratliff writes about it in the December Wired.

THE ITALIAN WEDDING TEST



I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we
Decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me...It was her beautiful younger sister.


My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very
tight mini skirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near
me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was near anyone else.


One day her 'little' sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was
alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she
had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once
before I got married and committed my life to her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.

She said, 'I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.'


I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.

Lord... And behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!


With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, 'We are very happy that you have passed our
little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.'

And the moral of this story is: 

Always keep your condoms in your car

To My Italian Friends


To all my Italian friends and family, and a few who are not - Enjoy! ...and if you're from Chicago,
Brooklyn , New Jersey, "The Hill" in St. Louis, or Federal Hill, RI, you'll really appreciate this!


Eye -Talian

Why do Italians hate Jehovah's Witnesses?
Because Italians hate all witnesses.

Do you know why most men from Italy are named Tony?
On the boat over to America they put a sticker on them that said
TO  NY

You know you're Italian when . . . . You can bench press 325 pounds,
shave twice a day and still cry when your mother yells at you.

You carry your lunch in a produce bag because you can't fit
two cappicola sandwiches, 4 oranges, 2 bananas and pizzelles into a regular lunch bag.

Your mechanic, plumber, electrician, accountant,
travel agent and lawyer are all your cousins.

You have at least 5 cousins living in the same town or on the same block. All five of those cousins are named after your grandfather or grandmother.

You are on a first name basis with at least 8 banquet hall owners

You only get one good shave from a di sposable razor.

If someone in your family grows beyond 5' 9",
it is presumed his Mother had an affair.

There were more tha n 28 people in your bridal party.

You netted more than $50,000 on your first communion.


And you REALLY, REALLY know you're Italian when . . . .

Your grandfather had a fig tree.

You eat Sunday dinner at 2:00 .

Christmas Eve . . . only fish.

Your mom's meatballs are the best.

You've been hit with a wooden spoon or had a shoe thrown at you.

Clear plastic covers on all the furniture.

You know how to pronounce "manicotti" and "mozzarella."

You fight over whether it's called "sauce" or "gravy."

Cancer Update from John Hopkins:


AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY (TRY THE KEY WORD) AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY


Cancer Update from John Hopkins:

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.



2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.



3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.



4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.



5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.



6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.



7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.



8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.



9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.



10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.



11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.



CANCER CELLS FEED ON:



a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder.



By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.



b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened Soya milk cancer cells are being starved.



c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.



A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.



d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).



e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.



Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water- best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.



12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.



13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.



14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFA s etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.



15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.



16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.



PLEASE READ ON



1. No plastic containers in micro.



2. No water bottles in freezer.



3. No plastic wrap in microwave.



Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.



Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital was on a TV program to explain this health hazard He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as CorningWare, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.



This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.

Message From Santa

If it were in my powers,



I would bring peace and love,

To this world of ours,

But I don't have magic enough,

I can cross the sky,

and pass by the stars,

But I can't seem to stop,

Any of hatred's wars,

I see children on the street,

With no hope left,

in the eyes.

So many homeless people

with no where to sleep.

And my heart cries.

I can't give the things they need,

Oh But God I would try.

I'm only a fantasy,

that once took wings to fly,

Some are deceived,

by the gifts that money can buy,

But those who truly believe,

see the gift with the heart,

not with the eye,

I sometime stop and go to my knees,

and pause,

and I too always pray,

That we will find a end to wars,

and live in peace one day.

For all those who believe in me,

I will continue my cause,

Across the stars,

over the wars,

On Christmas Eve,

For the hearts that still believe,

In Santa Claus

Received This Email and...

.Thought I Would Share It...........

We all know or knew someone like this!!


One day, when I was a freshman in high schoo

I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.


His name was Kyle.

It looked like he was carrying all of his books.


I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?


He must really be a nerd.'


I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.


They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.

His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him..


He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes


My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.

As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.'

They really should get lives.


' He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!'


There was a big smile on his face.


It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.


I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.


As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.


He said he had gone to private school before now.


I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.


We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.


He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.


I asked him if he wanted to play a little football


with my friends


He said yes.


We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.




Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.


I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!


' He just laughed and handed me half the books.


Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.


When we were seniors we began to think about college.


Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke.


I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.


He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship.

Kyle was valedictorian of our class.


I teased him all the time about being a nerd.


He had to prepare a speech for graduation.

I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak .


Graduation day, I saw Kyle.

He looked great.


He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.

He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.




He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.


Boy, sometimes I was jealous!


Today was one of those days.




I could see that he was nervous about his speech.

So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great!'


He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.


 Thanks,' he said.


As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began

'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.




Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends....




I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.




I am going to tell you a story.'


I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the first day we met.


He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.


He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.


He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.


'Thankfully, I was saved.

My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.'

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.


I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.




Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.


Never underestimate the power of your actions.




With one small gesture you can change a person's life.




For better or for worse.

God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way.

Look for God in others.


You now have two choices, you can :


1) Pass this on to your friends or


2) Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.

Arizona's Next Governor..Sheriff Joe Arpaio


GOT MY VOTE

You probably know him as “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” a name given to him years ago by the media. It’s a name he certainly has earned as head of the nation’s third largest Sheriff’s Office which employs over 3000 people. But even before he became Sheriff in 1993, Joe Arpaio was one tough lawman. After serving in the U.S. Army from 1950 to 1953, and as a Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas, NV, police officer for almost five years, Arpaio went on to build a federal law enforcement career and a reputation for fighting crime and drug trafficking around the world.




He began his career as a federal narcotics agent, establishing a stellar record in infiltrating drug organizations from Turkey to the Middle East to Mexico, Central, and South America to cities around the U.S. His expertise and success led him to top management positions around the world with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). He concluded his remarkable 32-year federal career as head of the DEA for Arizona.



In 1992 Arpaio successfully campaigned to become the Sheriff of Maricopa County. Since then he has been reelected to an unprecedented five 4-year terms. During his tenure as Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arpaio has consistently earned extraordinarily high public approval ratings.



With over four decades experience in law enforcement, Arpaio knows what the public wants, “The public is my boss,” he says, “so I serve the public.” He has served them well by establishing several unique programs.



Arpaio has over 10,000 inmates in his jail system. In August, 1993, he started the nation’s largest Tent City for convicted inmates. Two thousand convicted men and women serve their sentences in a canvas incarceration compound. It is a remarkable success story that has attracted the attention of government officials, presidential candidates, and media worldwide.



Of equal success and notoriety are his chain gangs, which contribute thousands of dollars of free labor to the community. The male chain gang, and the world’s first-ever female and juvenile chain gangs, clean streets, paint over graffiti, and bury the indigent in the county cemetery.



Also impressive are the Sheriff’s get tough policies. For example, he banned smoking, coffee, movies, pornographic magazines, and unrestricted TV in all jails. He has the cheapest meals in the U.S. too. The average meal costs about 15 cents, and inmates are fed only twice daily, to cut the labor costs of meal delivery. He even stopped serving them salt and pepper to save tax payers $20,000 a year.



Another program Arpaio is very wellknown for is the pink under shorts he makes all inmates wear. Years ago, when the Sheriff learned that inmates were stealing jailhouse white boxers, Arpaio had all inmate underwear dyed pink for better inventory control. The same is true for the Sheriff’s handcuffs. When they started disappearing, he ordered pink handcuffs as a replacement. And later, when the Sheriff learned the calming, psychological effects of the color pink—sheets, towels, socks— everything inmates wear, except for the old-fashioned black and white striped uniform, were dyed pink.



Arpaio has started another controversial program, the website WWW.MCSO.org, so that all those arrested (about 300 per day) are recorded on the Sheriff’s website as they are booked and processed into jail. Just under a million hits daily come into the website, making it one of the most visible law enforcement sites on the World Wide Web.



In addition to these tough measures, the Sheriff has launched rehabilitative programs like “Hard Knocks High,” the only accredited high school under a Sheriff in an American jail, and ALPHA, an anti-substance-abuse program that has greatly reduced recidivism.



As chief law enforcement officer for the county, Arpaio continues to reduce crime with hard-hitting enforcement methods. His deputies and detectives have solved several high-profile murder cases, including nine child murders. The posse, whose ranks have increased to 3,000 members under Arpaio, is the nation’s largest volunteer posse. Posse men and women help in search and rescue and other traditional police work as well as in special operations like rounding up deadbeat parents, fighting prostitution, patrolling malls during holidays, and investigating animal cruelty complaints. The posse’s contributions are invaluable and essentially free to taxpayers.



No wonder Sheriff Arpaio has been profiled in over 2,000 U.S. and foreign newspapers, magazines, and TV news programs. His leadership and the excellent work of his staff have catapulted the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office into the ranks of elite law enforcement agencies.



On a personal note, Sheriff Arpaio and his wife Ava have been married for over 51 years and have two children, both residing in the Phoenix area. The Arpaios have four grandchildren.

Feeling Old Today ??

Just in case you weren't feeling too old today.........


The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1992.

They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

The CD was introduced two years before they were born.

They have always had an answering machine.

They have always had cable..

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been microwaved .

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: 'Where's the Beef?',
'I'd walk a mile for a Camel ' or
'de plane Boss, de plane'.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Pass this on to the other old fogies on your list.

Notice the larger type?

That's for those of us who have trouble reading.

P.S. Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.




OK~ YA'LL FEELING OLD NOW?? I AM...........sniff` sniff
