You will find a list of other special events during the month of July listed in The July Zone. *************************************************** CONTENTS THE MONTHLY SURVEY THE COMMENTS ZONE THE CONTRIBUTORS ZONE THE MONTHLY SPECIAL ZONE THE JULY ZONE THE RADIO ZONE THE GENERAL ZONE THE FUN & SERVICES ZONE THE HAMFEST/FLEAMARKET AND SPECIAL EVENTS ZONE THE RESOURCES ZONE *************************************************** THE MONTHLY SURVEY Our question from last month dealt with reliable news sources. The question was: "Which source of news do you personally find to be the most accurate and reliable?" I received 19 responses, with not a wide variety of responses. Here are those receiving multiple votes. BBC 8 votes CNN 4 votes CBC Radio 3 votes THIS MONTH'S SURVEY Let's fantasize a little this month. There are probably a number of different things that you would hope to do in your life before moving on from this world. Let's pretend that you could transport yourself anywhere on the planet, at any time, into the future, to participate in a major world event. Maybe you would want a seat on the 50-yard line at a Superbowl; or centre court at the Wimbledon championship; the Newport Jazz Festival; the Olympic Games; attend the New Orleans Mardi Gras, or any other world renowned event. So, our question is "What world renowned event would you like to experience first hand?" Feel free to elaborate, and dream a little! Please send your response, by e-mail, to hfnewsletter@yahoo.com **************************************************** THE COMMENTS ZONE Bruce Atchison, Calgary, AB: Thanks for the news letters too. They sure have some great links in them. ***************************************************** THE CONTRIBUTORS ZONE Thank you to our 8 contributors for the month of July!

ANTI-PHISHING WORKING GROUP http://www.antiphishing.org/ VIA Elmer Standish, Courtenay, British Columbia Phishing attacks use 'spoofed' e-mails and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames and passwords, social security numbers, etc. By hijacking the trusted brands of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond to them. This group addresses this growing problem. 10 FOODS YOU SHOULD NEVER EAT! http://www.cspinet.org/nah/10foods_bad.html VIA Elmer Standish, Courtenay, British Columbia So, how many of these products have you enjoyed over the years? PAPER AIRPLANE FLIGHT SIMULATOR http://www.workmanweb.com/fliersclub/simulator2.html VIA Elmer Standish, Courtenay, British Columbia You should have some fun trying to master this little gem! LONELY SOCKS http://www.lonelysocks.co.uk/ VIA Eddie Janusz, Stonington, New Jersey Have you ever rifled through your socks drawer to find only three socks. One green, one blue and the other yellow? Where did the other one go? Unfortunately these lonely socks are usually thrown away like a piece of rubbish. We're all too embarrassed to walk into Marks and Spencer (other sock retailers are available) and ask for one sock. This is the true motivation behind the site. To reunite socks with their long lost partners. Maybe Rob from Pontypridd lost a sock with a white stripe around it while Sarah in Cowdenbeath lost exactly the same sock. They both have a lonely sock. These socks should be united with a sock of their own kind. This is what we intend to do. It's a tall order but with your help we feel it is possible. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ THE HAMFEST/FLEAMARKET AND SPECIAL EVENTS ZONE Each month we list upcoming events, including hamfests, predominantly in Canada.
