Following is an excerpt from the Lotto Buster Newsletter of 06-06-08. Very good advice.
LOTTO SCAMS...
HOW TO LOSE YOUR LIFE SAVINGS IN THREE EASY LESSONS.
I checked my email this morning and it looked like the standard assortment.
A couple dozen emails telling me how I can, get prescription meds without a
prescription, a few telling me how I can enhance my manhood, get bigger
boobs, have better sex, or refinance my house at 1% interest. Eddies wife
finally had the baby (a 7 lb. baby boy). And, what's this.. I have won 25
million dollars in the Ethiopian lottery!!!
Funny, I don't remember buying any tickets for a lottery in Ethiopia. In
fact I did not even know Ethiopia had a lottery. But it must be true because
here was an email from the Comptroller of Finances for the Ethiopian
National Lottery. All I had to do was reply with my name, address, and how I
wanted my winnings delivered.
This is just one of the ways a lotto con can start.
Lesson One - Email Cons:
The most common lottery con starts by your receiving an email that you have
won a large amount of money in a, usually foreign, lottery. You are normally
instructed that you should reply to the email with your name, address and
how you would like your winnings to be delivered. Most often, you are given
two choices; the money can be transferred directly into your bank account or
it can be delivered by courier.
If you reply that you want the money wired to your bank account, you will be
requested to send them your banks name, your account number, etc.
Congratulations, you have now supplied them with enough information to draft
all the money out of your account.
If you reply you want the money delivered by a courier, you will get an
email back informing you that you need to send the courier delivery service
a 'courier fee', usually between $300 and a $1000 dollars.
When you get an email telling you that you have won a lottery, ask yourself
a few simple questions.
1. How can I win a lottery I did not enter?
FACT: You cannot win a lottery that you do not enter. Lotteries do not pull
participants out of the phone book, off email list, or out of thin air.
2. Why is a rich lottery requesting me to reply to a HotMail.Com or a
Yahoo.Com email account?
FACT: Free email accounts are a favorite with con artist because it is next
to impossible to trace the identity of the owner.
Also be aware that, with $50.00 and a few hours work, a con artist can set
up an official looking web site for both the lottery and a courier company.
3. If I won all this money, why are they asking me for money? Can't they
just deduct it from my winnings?
FACT: Legitimate lotteries do not ask that you pay any money 'upfront'. All
fees and taxes assonated with a lottery win are deducted from the winnings.
4. How smart am I if I send total strangers money or financial information
about myself?
FACT: It takes surprising little information for a good con artist to clear
out your bank account or credit card.
Lesson 2 - Direct Mailings:
You open an interesting piece of postal mail from the Timbuktu Lottery
Commission. In it is a letter saying that you have won millions of dollars
in a lottery you never entered. What's more, the letter contains a bank
draft for $3,000.00.. now they have my attention.
A fast read of the letter will inform you that the $3,000.00 bank draft is
an advance on your winnings but in order to claim the entire jackpot you
have to pay taxes/fees of $2,300.00.
You are instructed to deposit the $3000.00 draft into your account and then
send the lottery commission $2300.00 to cover the taxes. Not a problem, you
are still $700.00 up. until the $3000.00 draft they sent you is bounced by
your bank (and deducted from your balance) because the draft is a forgery.
Again, you need to ask yourself a few questions.
1. How can I win a lottery I did not enter?
FACT: You cannot win a lottery that you do not enter. Lotteries do not pull
participants out of the phone book, off email list, or out of thin air.
2. Why do they not simply pulling the taxes/fees from my winnings instead of
sending money back and forth?
FACT: Legitimate lotteries do not ask that you pay any money 'upfront'. Any
fees or taxes assonated with lottery win are deducted from the jackpot.
3. Why must I send them money immediately, instead of waiting for their
draft to clear?
FACT: Legitimate lotteries allow you a minimum of 90 days to claim your
prize. Some Lotteries allow up to a year.
Lesson 3 - In Your Face Scams:
You have just finished shopping at the mall or grocery store when a stranger
(con artist #1), usually a Hispanic woman, approaches you. She/he has a
problem and could you please help? Being a Good Samaritan you are will to
help if you can.
The problem, con artist #1 explains, is that he/she has purchased a winning
lottery ticket but cannot cash it because he/she is an illegal alien and has
no papers.
A third person (con artist #2) approaches to see if he can be of aid. After
hearing the story con artist #2 suggest that if you cash the ticket, you and
con artist # 1 could split the winnings.
Con artist # 1 expresses fear that if he/she gives you the ticket, you might
keep it all.
Con artist # 2 says he knows an attorney that will draw up a contract but it
will cost money and could you (the victim) pay to have the contact drawn up.
The first stop is at the bank where you withdraw the money, anywhere from a
thousand dollars to what ever they can talk you into.
The next stop is to an office building where you are ask to wait in the car
while the con artist, and your money, disappear into the building to met the
attorney.
I can guarantee you that you will never see them again.
There are many variations of what is known as the "Latin Lotto Scam" but
they all have three common elements.
1. A person who has a winning lottery ticket
2. The inability of the person to cash the ticket for some reason.
3. You turning over your hard earned savings in the belief you are going to
share in the Jackpot.
Always remember three golden rules.
1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
2. Investigate before you invest.
3. There is a sucker born every minute, don't be one of them.

May 7, 2007, 7:57 amYour Phone Number
My daughter in law sent me this information. And sure enough, after I entered my home phone numer in Google, my name and address came up. But when I entered my cell number, there was no info on me.
Maybe technology is going too far. I tried this and unfortunately it's true-
a map to my house!!!
Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone
number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's
name and address. If you then hit Map, you will get a map to the person's
house. Everyone should be aware of this! It's a nationwide reverse
telephone book.
If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to
find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious.
Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my
number and it came up along with the map and directions straight to my
house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you
to do the same.
Please look up your own number.
In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to google
(http://www.google.com) , type your phone number in the search bar ( i.e.
555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your
private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on
the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours.
Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an
unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone
who needs to know this.
Please share this information with friends and family

April 5, 2007, 6:25 pmTop 20 Unhealthiest Foods
Fried, full of sugar and white flour and most all varieties contain trans fat. Store-bought doughnuts are made up of about 35 percent to 40 percent trans fat. An average doughnut will give you about 200 to 300 calories, mostly from sugar, and few other nutrients. It's too bad that we view doughnuts as a breakfast food as, nutritionally speaking, eating a doughnut is one of the worst ways to start off your day.
Potatoes are bad enough when consumed in their raw state, as their simple sugars are rapidly converted to glucose that raises insulin levels and can devastate your health. But when they are cooked in trans fat at high temperatures, all sorts of interesting and very unpleasant things occur. Anything that is fried, even vegetables, has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide. Foods that are fried in vegetable oils like canola, soybean, safflower, corn, and other seed and nut oils are particularly problematic. These polyunsaturated fats easily
become rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce large amounts of damaging free radicals in the body. They are also very susceptible to heat-induced damage from cooking. What is not commonly known is that these oils can actually cause aging, clotting, inflammation, cancer and weight gain.
3. SODA
One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors, sulphites, and phosphorus. Phosphorus leeches calcium from teeth and bones. Hence, studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay, diabetes and heart disease. The diet varieties are also problematic as they still contain all the same ingredients, except they replace sugar with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame. If you routinely drink soda--regular or diet--eliminating it from your diet is one of the simplest and most profound health improvements you can make.
4. PREMIUM ICE CREAM CONES, SUNDAES, SHAKES
These dairy treats, including Haagen-Dazs, Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone Creamery, Ben & Jerry's, and Friendly's tend to pack in twice the fat and calories of regular ice cream. A double scoop cone, sundae or shake averages between 600-800 calories, over 20g of saturated fat, and 75g of carbs. Top it off with hot chocolate fudge, nuts, whipped cream, chocolate candy pieces, or add a waffle cone, and the numbers climb to over 1,000 calories and 4 days worth of fat. If you must go, satisfy yourself with a small frozen yogurt or sorbet. At the grocery store, go with Breyer's Low Fat, No Sugar Added line.
5. CHIPS (All Snack Varieties)
Most commercial chips, and this includes corn chips, potato chips, tortilla chips, you name it, are high in trans fat, high glycemic carbohydrates, sodium, artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. Fortunately, some companies have caught on to the recent media blitz about the dangers of trans fat and have started to produce chips without trans fat. However, the high temperatures used to cook them will potentially cause the formation of carcinogenic substances like acrylamide, and this risk remains even if the trans fat is removed.
6. PIZZA HUT'S BIG NEW YORKER PIZZA
Pizza Hut brags that The Big New Yorker plain cheese pizza weighs about three pounds before baking. But when it comes to pizza, bigger isn't better. Even if you split this monster with three other people, your two slices will end up with almost a full day's saturated fat (17 grams) and sodium (2,200 mg), and 790 calories. That's without sausage, pepperoni, or anything else. You can make your own healthier
version of pizza using a whole wheat pita or wrap, low-cal tomato sauce (Ragu Light or Healthy Choice), organic mozzar ella, and top it with some chicken, peppers, mushroom, etc.
7. DENNY'S GRAND SLAM BREAKFAST
This belt-buster breakfast (2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 pancakes) may seem like a great deal to your wallet, but it's no bargain for your waistline or arteries. It'll sock you with three-quarters of a day's total fat (50 grams) and saturated fat (14 grams), nearly a full day's sodium (2,240 mg), and one-and-a-half day's cholesterol (460 mg) - not to mention 800 calories. If you must eat at Denny's, try the Slim Slam instead. It slashes the calories to 600, the fat to 12 grams, the saturated fat to 3 grams, and the cholesterol to 35 mg.
8. WHOLE MILK
Processed milk is literally poison. The pasteurization process destroys the vitamins and digestive enzymes, denatures the protein, reduces the availability of minerals, and turns the fat rancid. Homogenization further renders the fat and protein indigestible. Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone and antibiotics which are fed or injected into the cows for increased milk production and disease control, respectively, contribute to intestinal inflammation, allergic response, fat storage, and tumor growth. Alternatives: organic cow's milk (still pasteurized & homogenized, but no antibiotics, hormones, or pesticides), organic goat's milk (no homogenization), or almond milk (none of the above issues).
9. PASTA WITH CONTADINA ALFREDO SAUCE
Why not melt a third of a stick of butter on your pasta? You might as well if you fall for Contadina's refrigerated Alfredo. Most other Alfredo sauces aren't much better. This meal is a deadly combo of high glycemic carbs and saturated fats. Choose a low-cal tomato based sauce instead (Ragu Light or Healthy Choice) and try whole grain pasta.
10. QUAKER 100% NATURAL OATS & HONEY GRANOLA
Believe it or not, one cup of this stuff has 528 calories, 28g of fat and 60g of carbohydrates. Does Mother Nature want you eating half a cup of oats coated with three teaspoons of sugar and laden with more artery-clogging fat than you'd get in a McDonald's hamburger? No doubt she'd prefer you eat low-fat, low-sugar, whole grain or bran cereals like Grape-Nuts, Wheaties, Kellogg's All-Bran, Post 100% Bran, shredded wheat, or Wheatena. Better yet, cook up some whole grain oatmeal or steel cut oats and top it with fresh blueberries or strawberries.
11. Fried Non-Fish Seafood
This category represents the culmination of non-healthy aspects of food. Fried shrimp, clams, oysters, lobsters, and so on have all the issues of trans fat and acrylamide mentioned above, plus an added risk of mercury. Seafood is loaded with toxic mercury and shellfish like shrimp and lobsters can be contaminated with parasites and resistant viruses that may not even be killed with high heat. These creatures, considered scavenger animals, consume foods that may be harmful for you. Eating these foods gives you a quadruple dose of toxins--trans fat, acrylamide, mercury and possibly parasites or viruses--with every bite.
12. CHOCOLATE CANDY BARS
Probably the original "junk food", you can't be surprised these are on the list. The average chocolate coated candy bar packs 275-350 empty calories, including 25-40g of sugar, 15-20g of fat, and plenty of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Much research supports the idea that chocolate contains opiate type substances which makes it as addictive as any drug. As to the hype that chocolate contains antioxidants and can actually be good for you.you can get double the antioxidants and none of the fat and chemical additives from a serving a fruit. Chocoholics can
try a chocolate flavored low carb protein bar or shake to get their fix.
13. HOT DOGS & SAUSAGES
Wieners are literally the garbage disposal of the meat processing industry.
A large bucket of unbuttered popcorn that pop in coconut oil has almost 3 days worth of artery clogging fat! Add the fake "butter" and you boost the fat to almost 4 days worth. That's like eating 8 Big Macs! Most theater chains have recently
15. OSCAR MAYER LUNCHABLES
In would be hard to invent a worse food than these combos of heavily processed meat, fatty cheese, and mostly white flour crackers. The line averages 5 teaspoons of fat and 1,710 mg of sodium. Even the "Lean Turkey Breast & Cheddar Cheese on Wheat" has more saturated fat than a Quarter Pounder and twice as much sodium. If mothers are using these for school lunches, no wonder we have a child obesity
epidemic.
16. SUGAR CEREALS
Sugar Puffs, Fruit Loops, Cap'n Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, etc. They seems so harmless, almost healthy, since they contain little to no fat, and are fortified with at least 8 vitamins & minerals! The problem is, these foods are so high in sugar, and so low in protein and fiber, that starting (or ending) your day with them will wreak havoc on your metabolism and energy levels. One study that tested the effects of these products on rats found that there was more nutrition in the cardboard box than in the cereals. Go with a bran based cereal or slow cook oatmeal instead.
These chips, like Fat Free Pringles, are fried in Olean (olestra), the indigestible fat substitute. Olean doesn't provide any calories, but in many people causes gastrointestinal symptoms - some people have said they suffered such severe cramps or diarrhea that they had to go to the emergency room. Olean also prevents the body's absorption of carotenoids. These products won't do much to help you lose weight or reduce your risk of heart attack, but might cause you a lot of misery. Instead buy baked potato or tortilla chips.
18. RAMEN NOODLES
What could be wrong with a cup of steaming-hot noodles? Well, because the noodles are pre-fried in artery-clogging hydrogenated oils, then salted with 1,780 mg of sodium. Another unhealthy example of bad carbs + bad fats.
19. BUGLES
What's so bad about Bugles? Highly refined corn meal fried in highly saturated coconut oil -oil that's about twice as saturated as lard. (Chips are usually fried in corn, soy, or canola oils.) One serving (just over a cup) of these fried wonders will give you 40% of your daily limit of saturated fat.
20. CAMPBELL'S RED AND WHITE LABEL SOUPS
Campbell's slogan"Soup is good food"- does not apply when half a can averages more than 1,100 mg of sodium. That's about half your ideal quota for an entire day. Try Campbell's Healthy Request line or the Healthy Choice brand, which have less calories and less than half as much sodium as Campbell's regular soups. You can also check out lower-sodium dried soup cups by Fantastic Foods or Health Valley.

June 9, 2006, 12:51 pmWonderful
Nor a mansion on a hill
I have no real fine gifts to give
There is nothing to reveal.
I do not have a lot of wealth
But I have the things I need
There are those who have most everything
Whose lives are full of greed ?
I have a kind and loving heart
With gentleness doth reign
There are those who have no heart at all
And send out lots of pain.
I have a wonderful spirit
That will never grow jagged or old
There are those who have no feeling at all
Their days are dark and cold.
I have a wonderful pair of legs
To help me get around
There are those who have no legs at all
To lift them when they're down.
I have a wonderful pair of arms
To give a hug or two
There are those who have no arms at all
To feel the love I do.
I have a wonderful pair of hands
To let me work and play
There are those who have no hands at all
To help them through the day.
I have a wonderful pair of ears
To listen to the rain
There are those who cannot hear at all
The splash upon the pane.
I have a wonderful pair of eyes
They have beheld some beautiful sights.
There are those who cannot see at all
Their world is black as night.
I have a wonderful sense of smell
And enjoyed the aroma of flowers
There are those who cannot know this joy
And miss life's fragrant hours.
My life has been a rainbow
With only a bit of strife
Today I counted my blessings
I have a wonderful life.

September 19, 2005, 7:45 pmRemember - Conveniently Forgotten Facts
Conveniently Forgotten Facts.
Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black
panther named...Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was suspected of
disloyalty.
Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his
friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling
water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther
member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head.
Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north
of New Haven, Conn.
Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these
Black Panthers. In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the
killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a
scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al
Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State
College. Isn't that something? As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet
into someone's head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become
an assistant college dean! Only in America!
Erica Huggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the
water for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was
elected to a California School Board.
How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy?
Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who
came to the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far
as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused
Black Panthers during their trial. One of these people was none other
than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a
college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head o
the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other
than Bill Clinton. O.K., so who was the other Panther defender?
Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member?
Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean? No,neither!
The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student
at Yale University at the time. She is now known as The "smartest woman in
the world."
She is none other than the Democratic senator from the State of
New York----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.
And now, as Paul Harvey said; You know "the rest of the story".
Pass this on! This deserves the widest possible press. Also
remember it, if and when, she runs for President.

Dear Lottery Post Gals and Guys, I just received this message from Palisade Software Corporation. I have dealt with them before. A fine company. Back in 2002 I asked them if any of their programs could be used for Lottery predictions. They said it was possible. So, now they are looking for NeuralTools Beta Testers. Do the free download and go for it. I certainly will. They are located in Newfield, NY. In 2002 I received this message from Palisade:
| Subj: | @RISK for lottery predictions |

John: As per our 'chat,' attached is the example file I mentioned. Also attached
is information of @RISK 4.5. Version 4.5 is will not be ready to start
shipping for a couple of weeks but I can ship you version 4.0.5 in the
interim. Once we start shipping 4.5, I'll send that out, at no additional
cost, As for which version you should buy, Std will be fine for the process
as-is. If you want to play with historical data and fitting, you'd need to
step up to Pro. Let me know if you have questions.

Hillary Clinton Lashes Out at New Biography Hillary Clinton is outraged by a new unauthorized biography by Edward Klein. The book has just been released this Tuesday. Top talker Sean Hannity has exploded the discussion of this new book by interviewing the author on his radio and Fox News show. NewsMax has the first copies of this book - Check out their FREEE offer Go Here Now After NewsMax broke the story about its contents, Hillary Clinton took the unusual step of lashing out at the book, calling it "pure fiction." Publishing insiders say the book and its revelations could destroy her bid to run for the presidency in 2008. The tell-all book by Edward Klein, "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President," was originally slated for publication in September. The Drudge Report sparked interest in the book with an online story quoting a source close to author Klein as saying, "The revelations in it should sink her candidacy." The online report created a storm of interest in "The Truth About Hillary" on talk radio, the Web, and cable chat shows. Hillary's media allies have banned this book from discussion. Even Bill O'Reilly says he has banned the author from his show. Decide for yourself about its allegations - get your copy today Go Here Now. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough claimed, "Its contents are top secret, but the sources say the revelations inside could torpedo Hillary Clinton's chances at a run at the White House." The Washington Times followed with a report claiming the book will make new, nasty revelations about Hillary. "Rumors that the book 'won't be pretty' and is brimming with 'new dirt' have circulated in the New York press for the past four months," the Times said. The book's sensational revelations about Sen. Clinton may be difficult for her spin operation to torpedo. Klein is no conservative hatchet man. He's the former editor in chief of The New York Times Magazine and author of the "The Kennedy Curse," "Farewell, Jackie" and several other best sellers. The book's publisher states: "Just as the Swift Boat Veterans convinced millions of voters that John Kerry lacked the character to be president, Klein's book will influence everyone who is sizing up the character of Hillary Clinton." Klein "draws on rare access to inside sources to reveal what Hillary knew and when she knew it during her years as first lady, especially during her husband's impeachment. "It will also prove that she lied to America in her best-selling autobiography 'Living History.'"
