My iPhone

While watering my front yard yesterday I decided to Rolodex call my son.

My hand was wet as I did the routine one handed thumb operating procedure.

Suddenly, to my horror, the phone slipped out of my hand and fell to the sidewalk flat on it's face.

Something all of us Apple iPhone users dread!

I heard a sickening sound and instantly knew that even though I had it in a protective case this time it was not going to survive the drop like it had so many times before.

Sure enough the face was shattered.

As I ran my finger across the surface I felt the sharp edges of what appeared to be standard single strength glass.

Not "gorilla glass" or "Sapphire glass" but plain old ordinary single strength glass.

Now I could be wrong, but the Sapphire gorilla failed like ordinary glass does.

This obviously is by design because everything about Apple products is totally engineered to their specs and design, leaving nothing to chance.

My iPhone six was now rendered useless for the most part.

 I could not see the screen very well so I now had to use Siri commands to make calls or text.

Fortunately, knowing the fatal flaw by design in ipads and iphones i ALWAYS buy the insurance.

One call and my new replacement would ship immediately for a mere few bucks deductible.

Folks if your gonna buy Apple get the insurance!

We all know that there is truly unbreakable solutions but perhaps Apple has it's fingers in the insurance side of things so they continue to design this stupid vulnerability into it's products by design.

By now all of us Apple users know that one day we will see the faces of our ipads and phones shattered.

For a company noted for quality premium products this is one of the most stupid features allowed in any product on the market place shelves...but from their standpoint it adds to their bottom line in insurance profits.

Service and support from

 the people who know your products best

Oh ya...they sure do!

Will this stop us from buying Apple?

Naw!!!

Still enjoy all my Apple products none the less.

Agenda 21 Will Impact You Personally Eventually

For those who are confused about Agenda 21. The purpose is to get into this lifestyle that I talk about in this video. This is all being done because of so called climate change. They are setting up all these petty codes that they are going to enforce so that you be off your own property.

Texting Is Super Risky While Driving

What's it gonna take?

 

Australia is suspending vehicle registration

RMS (Roads & Maritime Service), the New South Wales' governing body for transport, has begun suspending the vehicle registration of UberX drivers. 

After failing to deter drivers through prosecutions, with Uber covering fines and legal costs of its drivers, RMS has begun suspending the registration of the vehicles as it forces the vehicle off the road for three months.

 Under the NSW Passenger Transport Act, paid ride sharing is illegal, and this will see UberX drivers losing the use of their vehicle for both Uber and personal use.

Now only if this happened in the USA for texting while driving infractions.


The numbers illustrating the dangers of cell phone use while driving are downright startling. In fact, at any given time throughout the day, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their phones while behind the wheel of an automobile.

Smartphones have made it easy for us to stay connected at all times.

 But that can pose serious safety risks if someone decides to check his or her text messages, emails, phone calls, or any other mobile applications while driving.

• The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year.
• Nearly 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving.
• 1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving.
• Texting while driving is 6x more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk.
• Answering a text takes away your attention for about five seconds. Traveling at 55 mph, that's enough time to travel the length of a football field.
• Texting while driving causes a 400% increase in time spent with eyes off the road.
• Of all cell phone related tasks, texting is by far the most dangerous activity.
• 94% of drivers support a ban on texting while driving.
• 74% of drivers support a ban on hand-held cell phone use.

Cell phone distraction rates are alarmingly high. 

• In 2012, 3,328 people were killed in distraction-related crashes.
• About 421,000 people were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver.
• In 2012, 11% of drivers under age 20 involved in fatal accidents were reported to be distracted at the time of the crash.
• One-fourth of teenagers respond to at least one text message every time they drive and 20% of teens and 10% of parents report having multi-text message conversations while driving.

 As cell phone use and driving becomes a national problem, the chances of being involved in a car accident with a distracted driver increase.

So it makes sense to start playing hardball and impounding registrations for three months for every cell phone while driving infraction.

 ***
When I see someone texting while driving and I am along side of them in my vehicle I will honk suddenly and loudly.

It gives them an Adrenalin rush as they quickly look up.

Then they always look over at me with angry faces as I shake my finger at them, like a disciplining mother in a "no no" sign.

I may get across to them that others see such behavior as wrong.

And just perhaps save their lives or the lives of others.

Texting while driving is now being done by older folks as well as teenagers.

 

Some people are just plain stupid!

 More and more research is suggesting that it isn't safe to text or even talk on our phones hands-free while driving, but one brave car company is pushing full-speed in the other direction. 

Nissan has created a concept car in which every surface, including the entire dashboard and even the seats, is a display device.

 The car is the result of "extensive" surveys with the younger generation that came to the conclusion that, according to Nissan, young people "feel that time spent in a car should be time for connecting and sharing experiences with friends."

Ya, but at whose expenses eventually?

Easter 2016 Movie "The Young Messiah."

I know of one Christian man who pretends to be a "Movie producer."

He uses the clout to get preferential treatment from others and such.

He also has an online magazine so that he can appear as a journalist with "press credentials" so that when he visits hotels or restaurants he can pretend to do a "write-up" on them and once again gain preferential treatment.

He is an unabashed con-artist it appears.

Yesterday I came across an old man while at work.

We got to talking and i learned that he had buried his wife just last week.

I learned he was a Christian as I began to attempt to comfort him.

I had shared about the movie "Risen" that I had just seen to open up witnessing to him the Gospel message.

At that point in our conversation he told me that he had just made a movie about the Messiah as a child and that it was going to be released at Easter.

When i got on the net later, to check out his story, I found that what he had told me was true, he was what he said he was.

In case you missed it, faith based movies were a big story recently as War Room, a movie that almost no one had heard about previously, and that, by almost all accounts from the mainstream media, is terrible, shocked many by finishing it’s debut weekend in the number two spot at the box office race.

It then went on to take the top slot the next weekend.
 
The movie "Risen" took the third spot it's opening weekend.

 Realizing there is, in fact, a market for films of this nature, studios are getting more and more behind them, and FOCUS Features has released this new trailer for The Young Messiah.
