(ContentDesk) January 17, 2006 -- Hundreds of new Drug-Free Marshals raised their right hands and pledged to be drug-free this Saturday in Inglewood.
This made the Drug-Free Marshals booth
one of the hottest attractions for young people at the 11th Annual Community Day, co-sponsored by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department and the Sheriffs Multi-Faith Clergy Council.
Held at the Department of Public Social Services Building on West Imperial Highway, Community Day, despite the rainy weather, again attracted thousands of people looking to take advantage of the large job fair, car, clothing and food give-aways, home buyers expo and other exhibits to better themselves and the community.The Drug-Free Marshals, besides getting young people to pledge to live drug-free lives, distributed hundreds of new drug information booklets.
The "The Truth About Drugs" series, published by the Church of Scientology's "Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life" campaign, contains factual information on numerous drugs including crack, crystal meth, marijuana, ecstasy, heroin and LSD.
Each booklet provides the medical and mental effects of the drug, what ex-users have to say about it, the drug's statistics and what makes it dangerous to use and abuse.
The purpose is to provide youth with facts so that they can make up their own minds on the subject.
More than 5 million drug awareness booklets are now in circulation around the planet.
"Young people need to have facts about the drugs.
It is the best preventative against drug abuse and these new drug information booklets are pure gold for that," stated Noelle North, Drug-Free Marshals coordinator for Los Angeles.
"As humanitarian, L.
Ron Hubbard said, When children become unimportant to a society, that society has forfeited its future. Parents can now have the right ammunition to fight against drug use in their families and in the community." The Church of Scientology created and launched the Drug-Free Marshals youth drug-education and prevention program in 1993 when 200 children between the ages of 6 and 13 were sworn in by the director of the FBIs Drug Demand Reduction Program at the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood.
Children demonstrate their commitment as Drug-Free Marshals by pledging to remain drug-free and encouraging their peers to do the same.
Since its inception, more than 3.2 million youth
have been sworn in as Drug-Free Marshals in cities and towns throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia and Europe.To obtain copies of the "Truth About Drugs" booklets or get more information on Drug-Free Marshals, contact Noelle North :

Home Business Requirements
The idea of running a business from home has always had a certain appeal--albeit one that can be easily undercut when you actually wade through the complex rules surrounding taxes, insurance and other details.
Getting started isn't as simple as plugging in a computer and getting down to business.
If you've set up shop at home or you're thinking about doing so, it's now more important than ever to understand what's involved and how to use current home-work rules to your advantage.
Where the tax picture is brighter.
Deductions are the name of the game here, and the big question is:
Do you qualify to write off home-office-related expenses?
To get the "yes" answer you want, the IRS generally requires that you use your home office "exclusively" and "regularly" for business--meaning you can't transform your office into a family room after business hours.
Moreover, the home office still has to meet one of three criteria...

Observing the Marine Life When Boating
"Whether you boat on fresh water or on the ocean, there is a lot of marine life to observe and appreciate. We boat in the Pacific Northwest off the west coast around the islands and straits of the Pacific Ocean. The sea life here is exceptional. Following are some of our wonderful experiences."One of the most powerful sights is that of large pods of Orca whales, or Killer whales as they are often referred to, as they migrate off the coast. Sometimes there can be several in these pods including mother whales and their babies.
Orca whales are quite beautiful to see. Their black and white bodies glisten in the sunlight each time they appear near the water surface or do a breach jump. Usually the babies follow their mothers. It is quite possible to watch them for hours without getting tired.Boaters must be careful and remain a respectable distance from the whales, as most whales are endangered. You do not want to interfere with their normal migration routes and movements.

'Living the Life! The World of Elvis Tribute Artists' New Book Reveals the Heart and Soul of Elvis Impersonators
Chicago (ContentDesk) October 17, 2005 -- The new book "Living the Life! The World of Elvis Tribute Artists" reveals the heart and soul of Elvis Impersonators and will take you straight inside the colorful, passionate world of Elvis Tribute Artists.
It features photographer Patty Carrolls colorful portraits of 74 performers, each with his or her own story and unique take on Elvis, reflecting the rich diversity of those who share an obsessive, almost religious attachment to the King.
Here you will see a Japanese female Elvis, a father-son duo, and Elvez, the Hispanic performer from Seattle.
For a surprising number of the ETAs, its their full-time job; for others, living the life means a balancing act between a day job writing novels or working as a state trooper. My photographs are of people being their fantasy, being their own version of Elvis, mixing their own self and the self they would like to be.
I try to capture the Elvis inside in a timeless...
