By now most of you will have heard about Australia's tragedy. For us Aussies, the terrible death toll from the Bali bombing has affected our small nation as deeply as the horrors that devastated the US just over a year ago.

Authorities admitted the overall death toll could approach 200, many so badly mutilated they might never be identified and with 300 injured, scores were severely burnt. Most of the victims were young people enjoying their holidays.

I don't know what the the terrorists hoped to achieve, but they probably don't realize that they have enormously magnified our resolve to eradicate these cruel, barbaric mass murderers from our world.

The terrible thing is that they blacken the name of all Muslim people that they propose to represent.  Muslim nations must take a forceful role in banning these fanatics that bring death, destruction and misery to thousands of innocent people.

We stand for freedom and excellence in all human endeavors along with all western countries.  In Australia we live in peace together with all races and religions including Muslims. 

We don't want to return to the Ayatollah dark ages, governed by Draconian religious dogmas.  Western culture has its faults, but who want's that type of regime instead? If Muslim fundamentalists take over any country, that's the sort of mad Taliban nightmare you can expect. 

I urge you to visit the web site "Islam for Today"
and inform yourself of the facts presented in a series of articles. (see opposite column)

We must fight for our freedom with all its modern western values.  No ignorant terrorists are going to make us change our ways.

Long live Australia, Democracy and Freedom!

A collection of articles by theologically motivated Western converts to Islam who oppose Islamic extremism.

What was once an occasional event -- silencing scholars -- increasingly has become a way of life in most Muslim countries.  From South Asia to North Africa, an entire generation of Muslim intellectuals is at this moment under threat: Many have already been killed, silenced, or forced into exile."

How's that for a provocative title and subject? 
Many of us don't have the first clue about what goes wrong under the hood of our cars; so, we're easy prey for unscrupulous mechanics. This ezine 
will tell what to do, and what not to do, in order not to get ripped off the next time you have to take your car to the shop.

Should you ask your mechanic to save all your old parts? What if you can't get the body shop to repair damage after an accident?

Mechanic Austin Davis covers these and other crucial topics in a casual, conversational style that sounds as if he were right there in the driveway next to you as you stare hopelessly down at the engine.

Harvard psychologist and neurologist Marc D. Hauser is out to elevate our opinion of animal intelligence: 
 "A commonly expressed dichotomy is that animals are driven by their passions whereas humans are guided by reason. We are rational, coolheaded, and thoughtful. They are irrational, hotheaded, instinctual beasts. 

Whereas we follow the dictum 'I think, therefore I am,' they adhere to 'I feel, therefore I act.' The division between the emotions and rationality represents a vestige of Cartesian thinking. 
As the neuroscientist Antonio Damasio pointed out in his 1994 book 'Descartes' Error,' our emotions often play a critical role in guiding our decisions.

When we attack a problem, we often consult our emotions, using them as guides. Although it is clear that our emotions can cloud and overpower our rational minds, we are more often than not making decisions that depend on an understanding of what we feel. 
In John Le Carre's novel 'The Taylor of Panama,' Marta, an upstart in the student revolution, states the case with precision: 'Reason only functions when the emotions are involved... There's no logic unless the emotions are involved. 

You want to do something, so you do it. That's logical. You want to do something, and don't do it, that's a breakdown of reason.'"

We receive so much information on the Internet, especially via email, that many times we have difficulty separating the good "stuff" from the junk. Most of us put unsolicited email (spam) 
in the junk category. By the time we weed through all that "stuff" however, we are approaching information overload, and may give "short shrift" to the really good information we receive. 

One way to overcome this very real problem, is to create email filters for things you may wish to read at a future time. For example, create a generic filter for the ezines or newsletters you subscribe to, or one for each. This will then automatically separate this good "stuff" from the junk. You can then keep your 
"inbox" clean and read the information at your leisure when you are less harried. 

Use your email filters to weed out the junk. It only takes a moment or so to create a filter, and this will keep all the repeat spam out of your inbox. The best way to filter spam, is not to filter on the senders email address. Most of these are forged anyway, and are different every time. Pick out some "key words" contained in the body of the message. "Stop Snoring, Own an offshore retirement fund, $16,000+ with ONE $20 gift" just to name a few. Filter out those emails that match your key words. 

Some of the spam is one time only and you don't need to be concerned with that. One way to do it, is to create a folder titled "Spam". Every day, instead of simply deleting them, transfer them to this folder. If you see a pattern developing, you can easily pick out the worst offenders, and create a filter for them. 

When you subscribe to an ezine or newsletter, don't make a summary judgement that you don't want it. Most publishers try to provide a "variety" of items, and it may take several issues before you both click. Like a baseball player, don't expect a "homerun" every time at bat. Give it a half-dozen or so issues 
before making up your mind. You may simply get an issue that doesn't appeal to you, but the next might be a winner. 

Some people go so far as to set up a separate email account just for their personal use, and another for their ezines, which is not a bad idea. But, if you do this, for goodness sake remember which one you used. Most publishers use list servers for their 
mailings. You can't unsubscribe from a publication except from the address that they have on file. To prevent the "cranksters" from running amok, they require you to be signed on the address they have on file in order to be removed. 

If you decide you don't want a particular publication any longer, try to unsubscribe, and if you get a message that you are not on the list, it does little good to rant and rave. If you're not there, you're not there - period. While most publishers don't want people on their list who don't wish to receive it, they 
have no idea what email address you used when subscribing. 

Most publishers will make an honest effort to remove you from their list, and threats to report them for spamming, will not help them to remove you. The majority of the time the people who complain are using a free email account, and are automatically 
forwarding the mail to their main address. To compound matters, they forgot they are doing this, and get aggravated when they can't unsubscribe under their main email address. 

If you are receiving a publication and cannot unsubscribe, filter their publication automatically into your trash basket. This will save you and the publisher a lot of aggravation. 

There is a great deal of information on the Internet. If you approach it wisely, you will benefit. If you don't, you may be deleting some really good information mixed in with all the junk mail you receive.
