Heart Rescue

ALL NEED TO WATCH THIS!!!!!

We all have walked by the Red Cross sign in airports indicating where a heart machine is located. Do you know what is in them and how to use it? I did not. Try this video and see what you think. If you pick the wrong choice-the man dies-choose wisely!!!This may save a life.... I Just watched this video and was so impressed, that I decided to include it in the newsletter with the hope that it'll save lives (maybe mine, yours or someone you love!). I know what it's like to save a life. I did many years ago at the Drake Hotel in Manhattan http://www.heartrescuenow.com/

All lifelong friends from Hicksville . I always celebrated Christmas Eve with the Lomnicki family as a child. So, being on Long Island , I went there to surprise them. We talked a lot about the good old days and remembered the memories and love that is still there for all.---Maureen Uss Bensen

Memory Lane

This is a classic. The National Shag Dancing Championships.

A seventeen year old dude with fluid motions that will knock your socks off... And a fifteen year old girl who made it possible for the dude to shine. What a performance. Reminds me of watching some dance moves on Bandstand with Dick Clark. However, there's no comparison with these "SHAG" competitors. Enjoy!!!

NOTE: The link to the video above no longer exists. However, we did a little searching and found what might be the same performance.


Casale's Corner

HERE'S WHY THERE ARE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS...

Amazing! This should take care of our deficit, no more fiscal cliff. Wonder what they did with the money??

Photos of a Mexican drug lord's home after being raided. Click on the photos to see the details.

It is estimated to be approximately 27 more of these houses in Mexico alone. Not to mention the ones in other countries that are enriching themselves in the drug trade. These people have so much money they make the Arab oil sheiks look like welfare recipients. Their money can buy politicians, cops, judges, whatever they need they just throw down stacks of cash and it is theirs!

This is why the drug problem is so difficult to fight...
