While looking for some sound clips I found this page

Hello All,

I have some great news. Over the past few years, my walk with the Lord has become stronger and stronger. As I get to know more about my creator, I continue to find things in my life that does not please God. For example, I am much healthier now that I have quit smoking along with other things that are bad for this body He created. As time goes on I find more ways to be less world like and more Christ like. These websites (allwavs.com & bestwavs.com) were filled with filthy sound files of dirty jokes, foul words and sounds that did not bring glory to God. So they have to go away.

But when I was thinking about shutting these sites down completely, the thought hit me. Maybe I could take the traffic these sites generate and create something here that is Christ like and honors God. Then I laughed out loud. If any of you remember what the allwavs site looked like before, you would know I am not a “creative person”.

So here is a challenge for you. Send me ideas of God honoring ways I could use these sites. Or if you are creative and love the Lord, I may even open the site up to you to allow you to be as creative as you want. As long as it honors God.

To God be the glory in all of the above,

Tony

Poisonings from tainted Chinese ‘gyoza’ top 450

Kyodo News

The food-poisoning scare centered on frozen “gyoza” meat and vegetable dumplings from China spread nationwide Thursday as the number of reported victims rose to at least 451 in 35 prefectures.

Food inspectors and consumers on Thursday questioned the effectiveness of food importing regulations after large amounts of organophosphate (note: a pesticide) in frozen “gyoza” dumplings made in China were blamed for sickening scores of people nationwide.

Japanese reporters gather Thursday outside Tianyang Food, a Chinese food processor at the center of a food-poisoning scare in Japan stemming from its frozen “gyoza” dumplings.

The health ministry meanwhile admitted that although frozen imported food is generally inspected for harmful or unauthorized ingredients, it is not checked for pesticides like the one that was found in the tainted meat and vegetable dumplings.

Seed from the Sower

February 3, 2008
Ever see or hear the 1 minute TV or radio devotional broadcasts (or sermonettes) known as “Seed from the Sower?” Seems like they were like 20 years ago, but they are still around. I recall them being used as
signoffs for TV stations (at one time TV stations weren’t on for 24 hours, and had daily signons and signoffs).
The broadcasts are produced and narrated by Dr. Michael Guido from Metter, Georgia.
He has an RSS feed to the devotionals, available as podcasts.

The State of Georgia passed a resolution in honor of Dr. Guide in 2007:

While I googling around for this topic, I came across this blog from south Georgia. Topics remind me of being a small town when I was in elementary school.

 And, there is another Michael Guido who was interviewed by PBS’ Frontline in 2004 regarding the fall of the US music industry.

In the recording studios of Los Angeles and the boardrooms of New York, they say the record business has been hit by a perfect storm: a convergence of industry-wide consolidation, Internet theft, and artistic drought. The effect has been the loss of billions of dollars, thousands of jobs, and that indefinable quality that once characterized American pop music.

High tech corset

February 3, 2008

I was watching some cable channel at the gym, Bravo or something, and saw an infomercial selling the “New Body Shaper,” a steal at $39.95. The product is claimed to cut inches off of women’s hips and bellies. The “New Bottom Shaper” smooths out lumpy buttock regions.

Benefits and Features:
- Easy to put on and take off
- Can wear under any clothing
- Very comfortable
- Hide those unsightly bulges immediately!
- Body slims down 2 sizes in 2 minutes!
- Reshapes your body due to loss of muscle tone.
- Realigns the spine for better posture
- Lower fatigue level
- More energy!

I guess a modern corset is not as painful as a 19th century one, and it isn’t made out of whalebone or the like.

According to their web page, customers who purchased “The New Body Shaper” also purchased the “Bright Wand & Night Wand,” which appears to be teeth whitening product.
