Residents rally in support of troops
Jonathan Schwab - Mail Staff Writer
About 80 people gathered in Poncha Springs Sunday for a war rally supporting the U.S. military and to help propel them toward victory in Iraq. Sponsored by mayors of Buena Vista, Poncha Springs and Salida, the rally began about noon in Chipeta Park. Supporters moved inside to the second floor of the town hall at about 12:30 p.m. when snow flurries began.Rally participants, including about 12 war veterans, arrived from Chaffee, Fremont, and Saguache counties and Colorado Springs. Buena Vista Mayor Cara Russell spoke to the crowd before the rally moved inside.She recited a quote by 18th Century Irish philosopher Edmund Burke: "I believe the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing."
Members of the non-profit group, Soldiers' Angels, were present, requesting donations to sponsor a holiday gift bag for a deployed soldier. The group intends to get a care package or goodie bag into the hands of all the deployed area personnel. Many who showed up to the rally signed a dozen boxes of Christmas cards to send to troops by Soldiers' Angels of Pasadena, Calif. The organization has volunteers in Buena Vista, including Jennifer Page who was at the rally to collect donations and provide information about Soldiers' Angels.
Poncha Springs Mayor Mark Thonhoff said, "My mission with this support rally was to either monetarily or materially give help in any way to the 150,000 men and women serving our country overseas." Thonhoff explained many of the military don't have the daily necessities most Americans do such as toothpaste, floss and other toiletries."If cards and all the small necessities we send brighten up their day, I feel we were successful," Thonhoff said. "Kudos to Cara Russell for spearheading this event."Russell contacted Thonhoff and Salida Mayor Danny Knight in late August about cosponsoring the rally, and both agreed. Russell said they chose Poncha Springs for the rally because it is the most convenient for the three cities. Rally volunteers collected donations for prepaid phone cards to send to troops. Thonhoff thanked Karin Adams of United Country Premier Brokers in Salida for behind-the-scenes work such as helping with Christmas cards. Knight couldn't attend because he was caught in traffic after flying to Colorado Springs from a funeral in Missouri, however, Thonhoff said he was "there in spirit." Thonhoff said. Thonhoff said Knight is "very proactive in supporting our military."Other members of the community who came, children and adults, have family members in Iraq. Heather and Alex Hobson of Salida were at the rally with their parents to support their foster siblings, Nikki and Albert Marle. Nikki is on her first tour in Iraq and Albert is on his third. Deb Wagner of Salida, whose husband, Norm, has been in the national guard in Iraq for eight months, showed up to support troops. When snow abated a bit, about 1:15 p.m., some rally participants lined each side of U.S. 50 holding signs with the image of an eagle and an American flag and messages such as "Freedom through victory, support our mission" and "These colors don't run."They were greeted by honking horns and occasional exclamations from drivers. Snow returned about 3 p.m., but more people arrived, many with nonperishable gifts such as toiletries, crackers, and small juice boxes to send to military personnel.

[color=#ddaa77]Hello
With the increase in popularity of tagged poker chips as a virtual currency in facebook texas holdem poker game many scammers have engaged themselves, who try their best to trick unsuspecting players out of their hard earned facebook poker chips. All over the internet forums are littered with posts by innocent people who have had their chips stolen. Nothing is as sorry state as logging to Facebook or MySpace to play a few hands of poker only to find that someone has already been in your account and your poker chips are gone.[/color]
[url=http://www.chipshut.com][img]http://www.chipshut.com/img/facebook-poker-chips-hut.jpg[/img][/url]
[color=#ddaa77]Follow these tips to keep your facebook poker chips safe:
Never give your password to a stranger: Trust is a delicate thing that takes a long time to build but only second to destroy. You may meet a pretending star in poker room and you are friends with him/her. He/she will keep interacting with you days before playing her trick. So be carefull enough to protect your login credentials to yourself, else this may lead to disaster.
Be careful about what you download: Regular online gamers are looking for cheats or hacks for the games they play in order to give them an advantage over their opponents. Poker is no different and there are plenty of sites on the internet touting facebook poker cheats and hacks for those brave enough to download and install them. But many of these so called facebook poker cheats have viruses or trojan programs. The moment you install any of these your computer is at the risk of attacks by the creator of the program. He can then have access to vital information that you access from your computer. Leaving your facebook poker account at risk of been hacked. If you never downloaded any of these programs then you’re probably safe, and if you have then you should run a spyware detection program. The best move will be for get your computer formatted to avoid any loop holes.
Phishing Links: This way of hacking has been thee for quite sometime now. Hackers send legitimate and official looking emails to your inbox. When you open them you are asked to click on the link and login in order to save your account or win free facebook poker chips, but in reality you are logging into a fake site that sends your information off to the hacker who made it. Before you find it out, its too late to react and they would have already broken into your account and emptied it of any facebook poker chips that you may have.
YouTube scams: If you do a search on youtube for facebook poker cheats, zynga poker hacks, or free facebook poker chips you’ll find hundreds of videos on the topic. More than 90% of them are made by idiots hoping to convince you to send them your account information. They range from slightly clever to completely moronic.
Image Photo Having Exe Embedded In it: This one is hard to catch. This is the latest fashion that is used by theif, you will be asked to share family photo's. When you open their photo, that will innitiate an exe in the background which will steal all your information and send to the mastermind behin it. So be careful with whom you share photos.
Hope these tips help you saving your chips.
