<p>He<a href="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/WhichWolfWins.png"><img src="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/WhichWolfWins.png" alt="" title="WhichWolfWins" width="281" height="214" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3343" /></a> said, &#8220;My son, the battle between two wolves is inside us all. One is Evil; it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good; it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.&#8221;</p>
<p>The grandson thought about this for a moment and then asked his grandfather: &#8220;Which wolf wins?&#8221;</p>
<p>The old Cherokee simply replied, &#8220;The one you feed.&#8221; </p>

<blockquote><p>
This man is saying what I have believed for years.  GWM<br />
This runs about 4 min.  but is a real eyeopener</p>
<p>Best illustration and explanation I have heard, simple, logical, straight forward and he didn&#8217;t need to hide or falsify any data.</p>
<p>Also, he is not trying to make $Millions from this, as Al Gore and others are doing.  Watch and decide for yourself.</p>
<p>VERY INTERESTING AND WELL WORTH VIEWING.  It’s presented by a weather expert, with the sincerity of John Hope (our deceased wx channel hurricane expert), and a reassuring voice similar to Walter Cronkite.  Believable&#8212;and no politicians involved.</p>
<p>Finally, a REAL EXPERT showing the fallacy of the concept of &#8220;global warming&#8221;</p>
<p>Go to: http://www.kusi.com/home/78477082.html?video=pop&#038;t=a</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the video posted at the URL show above</strong>:<br />
<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OIZqHGi2EfE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OIZqHGi2EfE&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center><br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p>Comments I have received by email have been numerous&#8230; and they&#8217;re still coming in! </p>
<p>In those emails, there has been a lot of great controversy regarding this topic&#8230; and, I just couldn&#8217;t resist sharing this with you. Some readers were against the message conveyed in THIS video&#8230; some FOR it&#8230; and still others, who found visual boo-boos in this video:<br />
<a href="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/GlobalWarming.gif"><img src="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/GlobalWarming.gif" alt="" title="GlobalWarming" width="350" height="255" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1252" /></a><br />
<strong>&#8220;DISTROYING&#8221; should have been &#8220;DESTROYING&#8221;.</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t feel bad if you didn&#8217;t spot it either. Many of us didn&#8217;t spot this one.</p>
<p>Do typos in a &#8220;professional&#8217;s&#8221; work affect their creditability? You decide.</p>
<p><a href="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/GlobalWarming_image02.gif"><img src="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/GlobalWarming_image02.gif" alt="" title="GlobalWarming_image02" width="123" height="150" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1266" /></a><br />
There&#8217;s more&#8230; the following is an excerpt from <a href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article2633838.ece" target="_blank">Times Online</a>&#8216;s posting from 2007, on this subject:</p>
<blockquote><p>High Court in London, Mr Justice Burton identified nine significant errors within Al Gore&#8217;s <em>An Inconvenient Truth</em> documentary as he assessed whether it should be shown to school children. He agreed that Mr Gore’s film was “broadly accurate” in its presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change but said that some of the claims were wrong and had arisen in “the context of alarmism and exaggeration”&#8230; <a href="http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article2633838.ece" target="_blank">Read More</a> </p></blockquote>
<p>So is this truly just another means for politicians to tax the working class within the &#8220;developed countries&#8221; as some have told me it is?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://www.trishparr.com/police-shooting-really/"></g:plusone></div><p>I received this interesting tidbit in an email recently&#8230;</p>
<p>Watch the short video below BEFORE you read the text&#8230; AND pay <strong>strict attention</strong> to what you see:</p>
<p><center><embed src='http://trishparr.com/video/player-viral.swf' height='350' width='470' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' flashvars='level=0&#038;dock=false&#038;bandwidth=2927&#038;file=Policeshooting.flv&#038;plugins=viral-2d'/></center></p>
<blockquote><p>Watch the video first&#8211;two or three times if you want&#8212;THEN read the text below&#8230; </p>
<p>DON&#8217;T READ THIS UNTIL YOU WATCH THE VIDEO!</p>
<p>You have to watch this one several times.  But please remember the cops had to act in real time&#8230;  THE SUSPECT DOES GET SHOT BY A POLICE OFFICER. This is for real.            </p>
<p>Watch the video and what do you see? </p>
<p>Officers ordering the suspect to put the assault rifle down and it appears he is complying and then he is shot!  </p>
<p>Is that what you see? </p>
<p>Want to know what it is like to work the streets and what risks you face as a police officer daily? </p>
<p>Watch the video again and watch the suspect&#8217;s right hand while he places the rifle down with his left hand. </p>
<p>What you don&#8217;t see, but the officer behind the suspect does see, is the suspect pulling a hidden handgun from his rear pants with his right hand. </p>
<p>Watch as the bad guy goes down, the handgun is still in his right hand. </p>
<p>Just a reminder &#8212; what you THINK you see at first does not always tell the truth. </p>
<p>Watch it again, and learn!  </p>
<p>Then pass this on to EVERYONE on your email list so they can do the same. Its time Mr./Ms. Citizen (and the media!) gained a better understanding of why this guy REALLY got shot&#8230; not to mention the cops laying their lives on the line.</p></blockquote>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you&#8230; but my after only my first viewing of the video, I could swore the gunman was shot AFTER he laid his weapon down. Obviously, I would have made an unreliable witness. </p>
<p>Soooo, what did YOU &#8220;see&#8221; with YOUR first time viewing this clip?</p>
<p>Imagine HOW many of our &#8220;blue knights&#8221; get unjustifiably tainted records because of what &#8220;we the people&#8221; THINK we see. </p>
<p>Now, watch this video&#8230;</p>
<p><center><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXMCxlygxQ4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXMCxlygxQ4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></center><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://www.trishparr.com/6-avi-video-movies-on-one-4gb-dvd/"></g:plusone></div><p>Does anyone reading this know HOW a disc in my possession, was created.  It’s a  4.7GB DVD disc that clearly has 7 AVI video movie files on it.  When viewed from my computer, here’s what I see:</p>
<p><a href="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/aviFiles_image02.png"><img src="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/aviFiles_image02.png" alt="" title="aviFiles_image02" width="450" height="119" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3260" /></a></p>
<p>When playing this DVD, I have to start it in my DVD player like I would a CD&#8230; you know, it shows Track 1, 2, 3, etc. Once the first movie starts (Track 1), the rest automatically follow.  Here’s what the DVD looks like on my TV when viewed in my DVD player:</p>
<p><a href="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aviFiles.gif"><img src="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/aviFiles.gif" alt="" title="aviFiles" width="300" height="219" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3558" /></a></p>
<p>Wow! I just love the fact that over 12 hours of movies are all on ONE disc&#8230; and the quality is truly <u>NOT</u> lost as you might think it would be either.</p>
<p>Just so you know, I have tried dragging ‘n dropping AVI files to a blank, recordable 4.7GB DVD disc&#8230; but my DVD player could NOT see this disc, because the DVD became a data disc, and data discs cannot be viewed using a DVD player. </p>
<p>Many video forums claim you CAN&#8217;T burn AVI files on a DVD disk that can be viewed using a regular DVD player. So far, they all claim you MUST convert the AVI to an ISO. Well, I&#8217;ve posted this here in hope someone, somewhere will be able to help me prove, they&#8217;re all washed up!</p>
<p>If ANYONE knows how to copy several AVI movie files onto ONE 4.7GB DVD disc, so that the movies are viewable when played on a regular DVD player&#8230; don&#8217;t just sit there&#8230; please, comment below!</p>
<p>And here’s my bonus to you, just for your having stopped by and taken the time to read my post&#8230; <a href="http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2010/08/11/top-40-best-free-legal-movies-you-can-download-right-now/" target="_blank">Free legal movies you can download right now – TOP 40!</a> The movies are posted below ads&#8230; so, do have patience.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[PositiveMotionChiro stated; "Rotator cuff instability can cause a number of symptoms, including decreased range of motion in external rotation and pain. However, the definite diagnosis always needs to be arrived at after a careful history and examination by a doctor. If your doctor feels that you have rotator cuff instability/weakness and need rotator cuff rehab exercises to help with that, then they may prescribe exercises such as the ones in this video." ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="tall" count="1" href="http://www.trishparr.com/shoulder-pain-swelling-is-it-bursitis/"></g:plusone></div><p>Simply vacuuming and cleaning my home for the normal five hours of work I do on a regular basis, caused my shoulder to have a rather large swelling on the back of it, as well as aching pain. I don&#8217;t do well with abnormal body functions and became very nauseated at the thought that something dreadful was wrong with my shoulder.</p>
<p>When I described the swelling to a friend more senior than I, she informed me that it must be bursitis in my shoulder and that it&#8217;s caused by excessive use. When I told her I only did vacuuming and cleaning, you know, the normal duties I&#8217;ve done a &#8220;gazillion&#8221; times before&#8230; she told me that I should see my doctor but she was sure that&#8217;s all that is wrong.</p>
<p>So, I visited my doctor and he diagnosed me with bursitis of the shoulder and suggested pain relievers and exercise therapy. </p>
<p>Hmmm, therapists cost $80 for the first visit and $60 there after per visit. This is NOT covered under any medical plan I have sooooooo is definitely out of the question for me.</p>
<p>In searching YouTube.com in hope of finding a quality video showing me exercises I can do for myself, I came across this great video (below)&#8230; and because I learned that this type of bursitis is soooo common, I thought I&#8217;d share my findings here to share with others who may be suffering the very same bursitis as I suffered with.<br />

<p>After all, if I comment, leaving a key word that I want my website ranked highly for as my name, isn&#8217;t that good for both the blog owner (the fact that I made comment &#8211; acknowledged HIS/HER blog!) &#8230;AND me (providing me with a valuable backlink!).</p>
<p>Or&#8230; so I thought anyway. By the end of February 2011&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Here’s what I discovered </strong></p>
<p>9 blogs have never acknowledged my comments one way or another, so I assume the owners are no longer tending their blogs. </p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the list of the 9:</strong></p>

<p>So, let&#8217;s take a closer look at the results, so far.<br />
Here&#8217;s a chart summing up what I discovered:<br />
<a href="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/CommentingOnBlogs_image02.png"><img src="http://trishparr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/CommentingOnBlogs_image02.png" alt="" title="CommentingOnBlogs_image02" width="300" height="201" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3235" /></a></p>
<p>And&#8230; <strong>17 blogs posted my comment as I wanted</strong>, WITH the NAME I requested linked to my eParrs.com domain. Yipppe!</p>
<p>WOW! That’s nearly HALF of my commenting on other’s blogs proving to have been a total waste of time.</p>
<p>Is commenting on other’s blogs really something YOU need to focus on?</p>
<p>You decide!</p>

The lady keeps calling a bird &#8220;an animal&#8221; but she does know her stuff.</p>
<p>There are dozens of reasons why parrots scream that Chet at Bird Tricks will show you how to cure, in his <a href="http://www.trishparr.com/recommends/birdtricks/">Secrets To Stopping Screaming</a> program.  </p>
<p>An example of another cause of screaming is restlessness, which is caused by a bird that&#8217;s supposed to be flying 50 miles a day looking for food, being locked up in a cage. Normally, birds are NOT locked up in cages, and they fly freely throughout their outdoor environments getting lots of exercise.  When a bird is locked in a cage, the natural levels of stress that build up in all bodies of living creatures is NOT able to be burned off by exercise, so it comes out as screaming.  Giving your bird attention would NOT fix their problem, they need to be exercised.</p>
<p><center><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aPlDljTG2Bo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aPlDljTG2Bo?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></center><br />
So I share this with you because in order for any TECHNIQUE you learn from me to work, it has to be used in the right context.  For every different CAUSE of why your bird screams, naturally you will need a different approach.   So if you&#8217;re not getting results from the strategy you&#8217;re using, there&#8217;s a good chance it&#8217;s not addressing the ROOT cause of your bird&#8217;s problem.</p>
<p>Let me put it this way…</p>
<p>Have you ever known someone that misbehaved just to get attention?  Most kids do this a lot, and kids who have absent parents REALLY do this.  In their little minds, it&#8217;s better to get some bad attention then no attention at all.</p>
<p>Well guess what?  A screaming bird is no different.  If it&#8217;s starving for attention and screaming at you and gets you to yell back &#8211; That&#8217;s ATTENTION!  And that attention has just rewarded the bird for screaming &#8230;and will cause the screaming to get worse.</p>
<p>This is where consistency is HUGE, and has to be conveyed to an entire family if you really want to stop a bird&#8217;s screaming.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more strategies for overcoming your bird’s bad behaviour, Chet truly offers the best methods. He’ll teach you the techniques you MUST master to break a birds screaming AND biting habit.</p>

<strong>The Law of the Garbage Truck</strong> <em>by David J. Pollay</em></p>
<p>One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.</p>
<p>My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.</p>
<p>So I asked him, &#8220;Why did you just do that? That guy almost ruined your car, and sent us to the hospital!&#8221;</p>
<p>That is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, &#8220;The Law of the Garbage Truck.&#8221;</p>
<p>He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage &#8212; frustration, anger, disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they&#8217;ll dump it on you.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don&#8217;t.

I&#8217;m SURE it is NOT &#8216;friendly&#8217; software that is inside the attached zip file.</p>
<p>The email looks like this:<br />

<p>I spoke with UPS and they are fully aware of this particular spammer who is using their name to either harm our computers or gain access to our computers, whichever&#8230; <strong>do NOT open the attachment</strong>.</p>
<p>The lady at UPS informed me that if UPS ever officially sends out an email notification, they NEVER send attachments. So, knowing this will help all of us to know the difference between a spammer masking themselves as a well know, well used, and well liked business to harm us&#8230; and the REAL McCoy!</p>
<p><strong>Remember: DO NOT OPEN the attachment. Simply DELETE the email.</strong></p>
