Hello and welcome to this week’s News from The Web on Wheels.

Firstly, I’d like to say thanks so much for the kind people who sent me their best wishes.

I’m delighted (and surprised) that my back came good in just a few days. I actually took my own advice for once, and took some anti-inflammatories, massaged, did stretches and actually rested for a day. Thanks again for the kind wishes, I’m honoured that you thought of me.

So now I’m almost back on track, sort of caught up and rearing to get back into being here for you again.

Happy Father’s Day

Hope the Dad’s in the US had a lovely Father’s Day this week. It’s great to take a bit of time out to appreciate those people who are so important in our lives, don’t you think?

In this issue we’ll look at:

• Pointing to a link;
• Celtic Sea Salt;
• Catholic Parrots joke.

A note about the content of this message.
Throughout this newsletter there are links to websites, and some pictures. Sometimes those links don’t work.
You can be sure that the problem isn’t you!

If a link doesn’t work, try looking on your screen, see if you can find a message such as,  ’Add to Safe Senders List’, or ‘Mark as Safe’. If so, go ahead and click that, then future messages will come through perfectly for you. (Let me know if things don’t work as you expect and I’ll get it sorted for you.)

Until next week, please take good care of yourself.

Potentially unsafe links in emails

In our newsletter a couple of weeks ago, we looked at Phishing emails.

One of the methods of ensuring you don’t click on an unsafe link is to try to see if the link is genuine.

You might receive an email that has a link for you to click on. A link can take you straight to a certain webpage.

Now most of the time this is a great, time-saving feature. But other times – as in a Phishing email – it could be dangerous. That link might be a ‘disguise’ for taking you to an unsafe website. It might show a certain website address typed in the email, but it might take you to a totally different website.

One tactic to keep safe online is to check if the actual link is the same as the typed link. You point your mouse at the link, and see what is displayed.

Rather than me try to explain in writing, please click on my very safe link below to watch a video and you’ll see what I mean. You will need to click on the ‘Play’ button (the right pointing arrow) in the centre of the video screen to start the video.

Here’s the link: http://tinyurl.com/nxyyqj

If links in this email aren’t working, please go to our website: http://members.thewebonwheels.com.au and click on Video/MP3 Gallery link on the left, then you’ll see all the videos listed. You’ll be looking for ‘Phishing emails – Point to link’.

There are lots more ways to keep yourself safe, but as always, keep alert but not alarmed.

Celtic Sea Salt

I read an article several years ago by Sam Biser, editor of ‘Advanced Natural Therapies’. The article was titled: “Don’t be conned by the crusade against salt.”   In the article was an interview with Dr. Jacques De Langre, a Californian Biochemist, who has written two books on the subject of salt.

Here is a link to a website that has the transcript of the interview. Makes for interesting reading, I think. http://www.naturalmatters.net/article.asp?article=435&cat=7 (you’d better get a cuppa if you’re going to read this – it’s quite long.)

I’d never been a great salt eater – I really only had it on chips and corn, but I was intrigued, read the article, now I’m a convert to Celtic Sea Salt.

I did a little more research recently, and found many other articles online. There are pros and cons of course, and if you’re at all interested, please do a search on the Internet for Celtic Sea Salt.

As is the case with most things, people swear by their own products, and state that theirs is the best for whatever reason. But in the end, only you (and in the case of a health issue, also your doctor) can decide what’s best for you.

An article that summed things up nicely was written by Raymond David Salas.

Here’s some of Raymond’s article:

The Benefits of Celtic Sea Salt

The reported benefits of Celtic Sea Salt include:

• Gives the body the salt it actually needs for healthy functioning.
• Has same mineral composition as ocean water and vital body fluids including blood plasma, lymphatic fluid, and extracellular fluid.
• Charged with 84 trace elements and minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium, and natural lithium salts. “Charged” means they go right to where the body needs them most.
• Will not store itself in your internal organs (such as the heart) or affect kidneys as processed table salts do.
• Helps clear sinus and bronchial congestion.
• Helps nourish adrenal glands which assist the immune system.
• Stimulates cellular energy.
• Enhances resistance to infections.
• Helps relieve mental disorders (including depression, aggression, and bipolar disorder).
• Acts the same as natural body salts do within the body.
• Actually helps reverse heart disease. (Yes, you read that correctly.)
• Aids digestion.
• Does not cause fluid retention in the body, as processed table salt does.
• Helps build healthy bones.
• Helps build healthy blood cells
• Helps balance acidity in the body.
• Helps relieve allergies.
• Helps heal burns (not externally).
• Helps reduce shock and trauma.
• Promotes overall good health.

Here’s a link to the full article. http://zenchillcom.blogspot.com/2007/07/benefits-of-celtic-sea-salt.html

There is an Australian company that produces a liquid form of salt – they call it CEA Ocean Mineral Superfood. (www.cea-life.com). Their product is produced from the waters off Byron Bay.

So finally to finish. For me, Celtic Sea Salt tastes fantastic, and if there’s a chance it will be doing me some good, or less harm than the ordinary salt, then I’ll go for that.

Catholic Parrots

I know we’re supposed to be politically correct nowadays. but I think we sometimes go too far – and often at the expense of a good joke.
So here’s an oldie, but a goodie.

Hope no-one’s offended – please take this in the spirit it’s meant – to put a smile of your face!

CATHOLIC PARROTS

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, “Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing.”

“What do they say?” the priest inquired.

They say, “Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”

That’s obscene!” the priest exclaimed, then he thought for a moment.

“You know,” he said, “I may have a solution to your problem.
I have two male talking parrots, which I have taught to pray and read the Bible. Bring your two parrots over to my house, and we’ll put them in the cage with Francis and Peter.

“My parrots can teach your parrots to praise and worship, and your parrots are sure to stop saying that phrase in no time.”

“Thank you,” the woman responded, “this may very well be the solution.”

The next day, she brought her female parrots to the priest’s house.
As he ushered her in, she saw that his two male parrots were inside their cage holding rosary beads and praying.

Impressed, she walked over and placed her parrots in with them. After a few minutes, the female parrots cried out in unison: “Hi, we’re hookers! Do you want to have some fun?”

There was stunned silence.

Shocked, one male parrot looked over at the other male parrot and exclaimed,
“Put the beads away, Frank. Our prayers have been answered!”

Bye for this week,
Smiles and best wishes
Viv
