The World Wide Web is supposed to be just that---world wide, right? And yet, sometimes it simply isn't.

Sometimes governments use censorship to block certain sites in certain countries, and then there's corporate censorship, which can keep us from accessing their corporate content...unless you're in another country that the corporation is "friendly" with.  Want to get around these and other pitfalls of the global Internet?

You Have The Power.....

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS (by Max Steingart)

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself,
the day you stop making any excuses,
THAT'S the day you start moving down the road to success.

No one else can do it for you.
Only you can make it happen.
YOU'RE the only one that has to live your life.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.
It's up to YOU to choose the thoughts and actions
that will lead you to success.

YOUR life will be what you make of it.
Nothing will ever happen by itself.
Success will come your way once you realize
that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.

The power to succeed is YOURS alone.

Saints Are Ordinary People

WHAT, or WHO qualifies as a "Saint"? According to many dictionaries, a saint is "any of certain persons of exceptional holiness of life, formally recognized as such by the Christian Church, especially by canonization."

However, my definition of saint doesn't include "certain persons", but EVERY person who has found strength they did not know they had. It means you have "been through something" and
