Thread: Cam Cameron Hatred
Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
Very true. You know who should have a great feel of the game? The guy under center. I think if Flacco were REALLY given more control and input into the offense the Ravens offense might flow a little better. Not to mention, we might be able to use the hurry up a little more, which works so well against our own defense.

Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
Where did I say that? And prove it, I mean beyond Harbaugh's coach speak.
What I AM saying is that Flacco doesn't have nearly as much control over how the Ravens offense looks as other top QB's. Other team's seem to be able to adjust their offense and work their QB's strength's into the game plan so much that their offense is based heavily on it. The Ravens offense tries to fit square pegs into round holes, and I am not just talking about at QB either.
Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
Cosell, I thought, was well respected throughout the league.
Also, he is not the only one who said they ran an offense from the 60s...the Texans said that is why they were so successful shutting down the Ravens in the playoff game.
It seems every aspect of every play has to be executed to perfection for it to work.
Flacco is always throwing into small, tight windows.
There are so many times that Cam is predictable.
And my biggest problem is that he has a very difficult time adapting during a game...seeing what the other team is having a problem with and being able to exploit it.
One case is point, Pats championship game...no one on the Pats could cover Torrey deep ALL DAY and at the same time, they had Edelman paired up with Boldin. It was like he was scared to call plays to exploit either one of those obvious situations. I believed all along, that on offense, we should have came out with relatively the same game plan as the Rams game. You know what, that's all I need to say.
Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
Cosell is very well respected. In fact many consider him to be the best analyst out there. Part of what makes his reputation is the fact that he works for NFL Films. He doesn't have to slant things any particular way for any market. He's not told to do things a certain way by those trying to get rating on a national cable network. Cosell is pretty much unique in the media because he can call them as he sees them much like his uncle used to.
Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
I guess it depends on your definition of conservative. If you think that implies the coordinator is unwilling to throw the ball and risk a turnover, then no, he's not conservative. He will throw the ball plenty. And he will throw the ball deep, attacking downfield. So in that sense you are right, conservative doesn't really fit.
On the other hand, there have been times that he seemed to baby Flacco -- justly or unjustly, I don't know -- and not ask him to make throws into coverage. That brand of conservatism led to a predictable offense. Opponents knew it was likely an out pattern or a throw over the top, but rarely a throw in-between defenders, in traffic. Teams knew where the ball was going.
I think another factor at work is simply style of play. Bililck used to call it his offensive profile. (In Billick's case it was justification for being a run-first team where the quarterback was asked to not make mistakes).
The Ravens philosophy on offense seems to be built around Ray Rice, a full back, and the use of tight ends. You aren't going to look much like a Mike Martz offense when that is your primary personnel group.
That style of play works fine when you can run the ball effectively and know you can put yourself into third and short situations. Cam can be plenty creative in those situations where he has all sorts of options to run a draw, a screen, a slant or even go deep sometimes. Teams really can't predict what he'll do in those situations. Whereas when it's third and long, Cam's playcalling does become too predictable.
I'm not sure why, in those situations, he doesn't bring in the three or four receivers sets, or split out Rice more (which he started to do) and rely on creative route running.
I think it comes down to trust. Cam seems to prefer max protection, keeping in a back and having the tight end at least chip block. He doesn't trust that his line can protect Joe, or that Joe can make the right read and get rid of the ball effectively under pressure.
Is Cam wrong in believing this? Should he, in these obvious passing situations, try to put the pressure on the defense, rather than defending against the pass rush as his primary focus?
To me, when you talk about conservatism, this is how it most aptly applies to Cam. He doesn't exactly subscribe to the old axiom that the best defense is a good offense. He doesn't make an opponent afraid to blitz. He doesn't use the maximum resources to pressure a defense in these situations...he goes more into a defensive posture and it leaves him with minimal resources to convert...and that makes him highly predictably. So defenses feel pretty comfortable they can cover and really go after the quarterback.
Who knows if his lack of trust is warranted. I think most of us would prefer that he roll the dice a bit more in these situations and find out if his guys can get the job done in adverse conditions.
I know this: if he does open it up on third and long and the sacks and interceptions and throw-aways come, it's Flacco we turn on instead.

Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
Ah, how can I resist a Cam thread?
Actually I don't think Corey's statement is at all contradictory, and isn't far off the mark. The analogy might be a slugging-type prizefighter with tremendous punching ability who always take the same approach into every fight. He may have great strength, aggressiveness, and talent, but no ability (or at least no inclination) to adapt when fighting a finesse fighter. And even when the finesse fighter starts scoring punches and gains the upper hand, the slugger fails to change his approach. The finesse guy quickly realizes that the slugger is predictable.
OK, in the interest of full disclosure I have to confess I've been down on Cam for the last two years. Oh, I try to give him credit where it is due. For instance, he did well enough in the AFCCG against NE. As many others have said, Cam can't control dropped passes. Still, he is predictable, especially on third down. The offensive sets appear very basic. Routes run by receivers seem the least imaginative of any team in the NFL. You just don't often see our guys get "wide open". Granted, our WR's aren't the best in the league and on-field talent (or lack thereof) obviously factors into this, but still. We just don't fool defenses all that often.
Unfortunately, we have no better alternative to Cam in the near term. So for me it's a case of keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best in 2012, hoping that yet another year of Top 5 defensive effort won't be wasted.
Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
I'm always going to blame poor player performances most of the time over Cam. I doubt Cam is trying to put his players in the position to fail. The problem is that Cam tries to create simple gameplans so that the offense can herp derp their way to scoring; however, the talent isn't good enough for a simplified gameplan to work.

Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
At times Cam is a great play caller but he goes through stretches of each game where he is very predictable. Last year I can remember several games where he mixed it up well in the first quarter and the raves jumped out to a two score lead only to have him go ultra conservative in the 3rd quarter and let the other team back in it.
Ravens are not a great running team and they consider themselves a run first team. The Oline is poorly coached and yet the same Oline coach is back for next year. If the Ravens want to be a run first team that relies on good defense to win they are going to have to get better running the ball. If you can't tell a team you are going to run it on them and go out and do it you better be creative. When you come out with a two wrs a te, FB and RB the other team is going to sell out to stop the run.

Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
why does everyone keep saying that cam called a great new england game? he called a great LAST DRIVE! everyone seems to forget that he completely jacksonville'd the first quarter against one of the leagues worst defenses
Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
And we were supposed to have one of the best defenses but Brady marched straight
down the field to win it.
CAM offense still gave Ravens chance to win it with 25 secs left and was still alive
for OT until special teams blew it.
That's not on CAM either.Pic of a natural act.
If it worked on other teams he was the OC then why it's not working with the Ravens. My thing is if you don't have the type of players to run it why run that offense. On the other hand if you're gonna run that offense at least draft players that you will think that fits it. This is solely my opinion but I think FO has no faith in Flacco, it seems each year the first player drafted is on defense. They run a ZB scheme but the first linemen they draft is a mauler type guard. The linemen we have especially on the left side if KO starts don't fit that ZB scheme. Another thing is all the dropped passes, not reading the defense correctly, not going thru the progression and bad throws. It like we can't keep defensive coaches but the offensive coaches stick around longer. The blame shouldn't all be put on Cam bc the man had top 10 offenses before he came to Baltimore. There will always be blame bc we are spoiled as football fans and it's sad that we can't get over that hump. I have a question tho, what if the Ravens had a top 5 O and the D was around 27th in the league and the score of the AFCCG was NE 42 to Bmore 37, what would be the beef next?

Re: Cam Cameron Hatred
Cam gave away the entire first quarter of the AFCC game thanks to his predictable play calling. 2011 playoff game vs. NE - first offensive play, Rice runs left, gets a huge hole, runs for TD. AFCC game - first play, Rice runs left (like NE wasn't expecting that play), hit for loss. Second play - run, no gain. Third and 10, line parts like Red Sea, incomplete. Second possession - again, unsuccessful run, unsuccessful run, incomplete. Did Cam not watch the previous few games and see that our run game was not working well? Our offense didn't start moving until he finally went to some rollouts in second quarter, and used runs as change of pace.
Yes, he doesn't drop balls, but he also doesn't put his players in position to score 30+ points.Al

Just saying ya know. He didn't drop the ball in the end zone with
25 secs left but he sure got us there.
When he thanked Ozzie for keeping him on Ozzie said it was never in our minds
that you were leaving.

Why are gold necklaces so popular? Whatever the reason, women have been wearing them (with an attendant smile) for several thousand years, so we're talking some major staying power. Needless to say, gold necklaces have become a fashion staple, though only you can decide whether a yellow or white gold necklace is the staple for your own jewelry collection (to be on the safe side, why not one of each)?
No need to be a plain Jane in the gold necklace department. Baubles? Sure, we've got pearls and gemstones aplenty to add some extra glimmer to a gold necklace. And for a bit of whimsy we can serve up flowers or butterflies with a necklace too. You heart hearts? A gold heart necklace is just up your alley (and we have plenty).

Panthro's Back! ThunderCats' Kevin Michael Richardson on the Missing Thunderan
Relax, ThunderCats fans. Panthro isn't dead. "I noticed a little bit of a rumor about that," Kevin Michael Richardson, who voices Panthro in the Cartoon Network remake, tells TVGuide.com. "Someone said that on Facebook, and I was like, 'Really?'
When ThunderCats made its triumphant return to television in July, fans were outraged that Panthro, an integral part of the original '80s-era ThunderCats team, was absent without a satisfactory explanation. In the reboot, Panthro is first reported to be killed in action. Later, a false Panthro is revealed to actually be the evil Mumm-Ra in disguise. After all of this misdirection, it's a relief to know that we'll see the real Panthro back, however briefly, on Friday's episode (8:30/7:30c on Cartoon Network).

I took the quiz and i'm between a C and a D…I get made fun of by my kids and mom for getting so addicted to couponing, but it saves me so much money and I am a single mom of 4, so I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE couponing!! People stop me and ask me about my coupon binder in the stores and want to know how to get started and I direct them to the websites to do a free tutorial… <3
I'm a super saver
Stone Age Saver…. I guess I'm following in my mom's footsteps:)

Stone age saver
What if I got a different category of answerfor each question??
Not all coupons save money. The product; manufacturers know that and are pushing their products. Good to have savings on products we do buy though: but, many times no products are on the shelves fpr coupons.. I used to buy 6 of an items when on sale only and otherwise only one of what we needed and were out of. Used to coupons in younger years, Plus, sometimes coupons from newspapers and mailed to home coupons stayed in kitchen drawer toooo long and expired. Love the store mailed couons and now putting coupons on my savings card via ecoupon. …easy peasy too. Make a list of what needed or print out the stores list they have site for.
we may be reborn couponers if only we had double coupon day. Lots of savings we don't know about. Last thought most stores price matching policys. So bring in your ad if you wish to shop in one store is my advise.

Ticagrelor versus prasugrel in acute coronary syndrome patients with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity following percutaneous coronary intervention: a pharmacodynamic study
JACC Cardiovascular Interventions, 07/17/2012
Clinical Article
Alexopoulos D et al. – In patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) exhibiting high on–treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) while on clopidogrel 24 h post–PCI, ticagrelor produces a significantly higher platelet inhibition compared with prasugrel.
Methods- In a prospective, single–center, single–blind study, 44 (of 139 screened, 31.7%) ACS patients with HTPR while on clopidogrel 24 h post–PCI were randomized to either ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily or prasugrel 10 mg once daily for 15 days with a crossover directly to the alternate treatment for another 15 days.
- HTPR was defined as platelet reactivity units (PRU) ≥235 as assessed by the VerifyNow P2Y12 function assay.
- The primary endpoint of platelet reactivity at the end of the 2 treatment periods was lower for ticagrelor (32.9 PRU, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 18.7 to 47.2) compared with prasugrel (101.3 PRU, 95% CI: 86.8 to 115.7) with a least squares mean difference of –68.3 PRU (95% CI: –88.6 to –48.1; p < 0.001).
- The secondary endpoint of HTPR rate was 0% for ticagrelor and 2.4% for prasugrel (1 of 42, p = 0.5).
- No patient exhibited a major bleeding event at either treatment group.

Inflation impacts new-home permit values
The number of permits pulled in March was 200, up from 125 in February and only 94 in March 2011. The March number was last seen in 2007 and is still less than one-third the peaks reached in 2004 and 2005. In other words, we still have a long way to go before we regain the exuberance of the home construction boom. But we're much better off than the metropolitan areas that really boomed, such as Las Vegas, Southern California and many communities in Florida.
Let's take a look at changes in the average value of permits pulled and inflation in Northern Colorado since 1988, the mid-point of the last energy boom in Colorado. I have normalized the average single-family detached-home permit value and inflation to their January 1988 levels so we can see relative changes since that month. (See accompanying graphic.)
Homes to be constructed, represented by the average value of the permits pulled for their construction, increased 3.73 times between January 1988 and June 2007. (Average permit values have peaked to near four in the three months since June 2007, but those months are aberrations caused by a heavy mix of

Some experts say that attempts to sell extended-service contracts in the service lane will likely fail if service writers steer customers back to the F&I office.
But Mike Casisa, finance director at Southern Chrysler Jeep-Greenbrier in Chesapeake, Va., says his store is an exception.
He says the dealership's service writers are trained to flag good prospects for service contracts. And, he says, he's rarely too busy to see a customer who has been referred from the service department. That removes a stumbling block. If Casisa really is too busy, he tries to greet the customer and give them a business card.
He spoke this week with Automotive News Special Correspondent Jim Henry.
How is selling service contracts to service customers going?
What better customer to approach about a service contract than one who already loves your service department? It's easier selling to a service customer than it is cold-calling. Often it's easier than a new-car customer.
But you're the finance director, not the service manager. So the service contract sales actually take place in the F&I office, right?
Right. A lot of times the service writers will notice, "Hey, this customer's warranty expires in two months." Or they may say, "This customer's warranty expired. Take a look at the bill they just had to pay." I can use that to approach the customer about maybe renewing their warranty.
Our service guys are trained. They know our warranties go up to 150,000 miles. It used to be 120,000 miles. Most service departments would think those cars are too old, but our guys have learned all that.
Do the service guys get paid a spiff for doing that?
I do that for our service writers. For a service writer, a customer having a warranty is just a lot easier to deal with. Whether their repair needs two parts or five parts, if they know it's covered it doesn't make any difference to the customer.
If they have a warranty with this benefit, they will be getting a loaner car. They're not sitting in the lounge all stressed out, they're not pushing the technician to fix it as fast as possible so they can get out of there.
Do you use video e-mails?
Yes. Today you need something a little different. Another big problem we have is that so many customers tell us they're getting these notices in the mail, "Call us immediately" or "Your warranty is about to expire." They think it's coming from us at the dealership. So when we send an e-mail it has our template, it has my face on it, it has a link to the Better Business Bureau, it has a link to our site. They know it's from us.
In the F&I office, do you use a menu? Is your menu getting bigger, with a lot of new products, or does it feature the traditional products?
We do sell off a menu. Of course the biggies are extended warranties. It's just such a great product; it benefits the customer and it benefits the dealership. And GAP. I would say that for the last year, the last year and a half, more and more people are interested in GAP. And like a lot of dealerships, we offer credit life and disability.
I see a lot of companies offering lots and lots of additional products, but it's always a challenge to get banks to accept it as something they want to include in the financing. Also, I've heard of dealerships offering 15 or 20 products. I don't think anybody wants to present or sit through the presentation for 15 or 20 different products. I like to stick to the ones that work.
Do you interview customers in advance? That could be a way to cut down 15 or 20 products to a more manageable menu.
Time permitting, yes. But like a lot of dealerships, the finance department is someplace that always seems to be short of people and strapped for time. So sure, time permitting I will meet with the customer and introduce myself and tell them a little bit about the process and what they're about to see.
It can also help to find out if the car they're coming out of has GAP or an extended warranty or other policies. I can assist them with the cancellations. With the refunds on those it can also help the customer to come up with more money down.
Any other tips?
A lot of people, even though it's an obvious thing, they forget that customers have other cars in the family, in their driveway. Maybe they didn't buy it from us. I ask them if they have other cars, do they have a warranty? Is it expired? If they have one, are they happy with it? It's just a matter of asking. I don't know why people are afraid to ask.

Expertssuggestthatsmokersshouldfindwaystoquitsmokingasearlyastheycantodecreasetherisksofhavingdiseasesthatcancausedeath. The Blu cigarette comes with lots of flavors you can try. However with all the two piece set it up is a lot simpler, and naturally it does come up with an improvement. "To improve public health, Smokefree Pennsylvania hungers you to SUPPORT [S-3054] (to exclude sales of electronic cigarettes to kids under 19) and REJECT [S-3053] (to ban adult use of electric smoking in ALL indoor workplaces)," Godshall wanted to say. However, the tobacco cigarettes found on the butt store isn't safe towards the perfectly being.
In the event you suffer from nicotine addiction, and experience troubles quitting smoking remember you are not by yourself. That means you should take this seriously, and be determined to quit. If you feel the need, compound doctor or a psychologist, attend organizations and talk to your friends. You need all the help it is possible to get, to stay strong and win. Cessation is not easy, but it is possible. Millions of people have stayed sound and managed to quit smoking, give bonuses when do it too. Say nope to smoking and toxic nicotine and turn healthy and happy.
The writer Meistrell, senior executive with V2Cigs, a brandname of e-cigarettes, has submitted the exploration to the NYS Assembly Health Board to have them reconsider withdrawing niche that would ban them in the state New York.
Help refill cartridges could be found near a range of diverse styles sorts as tobacco, mint, Marlboro, cherry, vanilla, and sometimes other ones. Affiliate marketer marketers claim you will give forward smoking; www.vaporace.net sellers suggest that can be possible to get that nicotine to start anywhere. The the very after that time you go on the Tobacco cigarette Store might be time to carry picking up an E-Cig Starter Collection. No doubt, smoking e cigs has became be the best tobacco cessation program. There are some flavors of liquids readily that you can refill.
Such "E-Cigarettes" can be smoked just anywhere and one can even choose desired level of nicotine delivery. Electronic cigarettes are becoming more popular every day within the using community and are becoming known as the highly accepted, smoker approved, alternative as a way to tobacco.
Metabolic process have adverse side effects in pregnant women. Low birth weight, decreased blood flow to each placenta, preterm labor, various birth defects, and an increased risk of Cot death (SIDS) in newborns have been associated to the use of nicotine during pregnant state. Therefore, pregnant women are strictly advised to hinder smoking. They are also hinted to try some other ways stop smoking, before using nicotine replacement goods.
Which is what happens with chemical addiction, the body views the chemical just like throwing it out of balance (homeostasis) and it creates a counter induce. It matches each increase considering an increase in counter force.

Fehr isn't in a position of strength here and he knows that. His rhetoric is going to be significantly different than from when he ran the MLBPA.
There's just no way the owners don't lockout, because there's no downside there for them.

I really hope this cap will be set to around 58-62 for this season, the Wild are at $68 million, I want to see them Parise and Suter fail!
I would imagine there would be some kind of amnesty provision, which means the Wild will in all likelihood have to dump Heatley. True, he's on the downside of his career, and he is overrated, but he's still a potent offensive threat. Without Heatley, and especially without getting any compensation in return, the Wild's depth will be hurting even moreso than it is.

The red-glazed ground of this cup was originally decorated with a finely-drawn gold decoration which has now largely worn off.

Exciting News
Me: "Guess what? GUESS WHAT?! I'm going to be published! I got into that anthology!"
Steve: "That's great, well done. Hey, did you ring the tiler?"
Abbey: "Mummy, I need to do wee on the toilet."
Life goes on here as usual, with my husband who really is excited for me (on the inside) and my toddler who is just going about her day.
Meanwhile, I'm jumping up and down with joy. A short story of mine has been selected as part of the 100 Stories for Queensland charity anthology. This marks my first piece of fiction to be published and, with a release date of March 8th (yes, in four weeks time!), I don't have to wait long to see my name and my writing in that book. And to read all the other stories that were chosen - with a requirement or each to be happy and uplifting, it'll be a pleasure to read them.
I'll keep you posted as to where you can buy a copy (with all proceeds going to Queensland's flood victims) - and, of course, I'll remind you with my incessant excitement when it's released.

I know that I have mentioned about this subject before, but it is getting to be something I am more and more passionate about.
This is for everyone, not just me, not just you, not just the "chosen". It is a message anyone should read, because we are not just "anyone's", for we are one with all, nature, animals, the universe, and each other.
Do you feel something happening within you, but you're not sure what it could be? You know something's going on, but you can't put your finger on it. You know that you are changing inside of you, and nothing's stopping it. You might not even understand it, yourself.
What is going on? As a collective whole, everyone around the globe, we are going through a spiritual transition of sorts. Some of you might say you'r e not spiritual or religious. There is a difference of course.
You see, we are all spiritual beings, even if you don't or won't believe it. It is quite simply how we were created. Some of us, though, have forgotten this notion of ourselves, and have blocked off the spiritual path of life that we should be embarking on, and, rather are replacing spiritual with material things.
We will all be affected by this spiritual transition, however. Kind of think of it like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. We have this great window of opportunity to spread our spiritual wings and fly.
Sadly, those of us who aren't "feeling" this transition will be affected, however, it might blindside you. For instance, have you recently decided that you no longer want to eat meat, even though you have been eating it all your life?
Maybe you have changed your mind about what it is that you want out of life, and have decided to break away from the old patterns, and are exploring something new. It could even be so much as your thoughts are anew, and suddenly, you realize something you loved in the past, now you dislike immensely.
This is part of the spiritual shift we are facing. It is nothing to be fearful of. In fact, if you realize that it is something grand, then you'll be more willing to embark on a new, exciting path into the unseen. Embrace this time to make changes within yourself.
The world, as we know it, has been on a downhill decline for a long time. The US is really heading downhill quickly. The other day, I got this vision before my eyes of the people in this country. There are many on the wide path of life. This is the easy path.
Just imagine the wide path, that most people take as this busy pathway in the forest. It has been walked so much that the grasses no longer grow where feet have wandered. All around is great, lush trees that offer us every fruit of the Earth, materially. Each person travelling down that road has found other avenues off that path of life, and start picking the fruit from the trees.
Granted, while there are good pickings from these trees, there are also those that are meant to prick you and hurt you when you partake of these things. The other avenues or pathways are meant to steer you off the right path and you wind up getting lost.
Now imagine, many see others going down one avenue on the pathway, and droves of others will follow the same suit. Down these little side avenues, lie, in waiting, quicksand traps.
Today, people have diversions to keep them from reality in life. Cellphones, computers, video games, movies, tv, etc. These things are enticing to the majority of people, so much that they can not free themselves from the hold that these things have on them. Overindulgence on anything is not always a good thing.
But, anyway, back to the quicksand. With these gadgets that people have plastered to their heads, hands or noses, no one notices the world around them as it passes them by. The quicksand traps will come up before they realize it, and people are sinking further and further into their own quicksand pit, and there won't be anyone to help them.
Sadly, those who have become so engrossed with electronic technology are losing themselves, losing their identities. I saw a video awhile back of a woman who was walking in a mall, her nose glued to a cellphone. She was just walking along, and then all of a sudden, she falls into one of the fountains. She got up, looked around, and then went right back to her nose stuck to her texting.
What is coming is a great advancement in our brains. Those of us who are working on our inner selves, those of us who have come to understand what is happening will benefit. But those lost in the world will lose out. The door of opportunity will not be open forever. The time is near.
What comes to mind is the movie called "Left Behind". In this movie, they show how people come to their senses one day, and people are gone, missing, vanished. The people who vanished were those who believed in God and were taken away.
While the movie holds some truth, it will be different. I'm not sure how it is going to transpire myself. I don't know if those who remain will be the chosen who inherit the Earth, as it says in the Bible, or will those who remain be, as in the movie, those who endure the tribulation?
I do know that those who are working on improving their inner selves, connecting with our inner true Self, the Source of Life, then it will be those who's spirits are ready to advance.
I know that you might be thinking I am saying that if you aren't connected to Spirit right now, you are doomed. I am not saying that at all. I am merely suggesting that it is time for all of us to get back to the basics of life. It is coming whether or not you're ready for it. Those who are not ready will not be able to endure the coming times.
Let's think of something before I go on. When the US was founded, the men and women who lived back then knew that the way to an abundant and happy existence was to live by the word of God. Those people then were deeply faithful in God, and thus, as we know it, the US prospered greatly. In fact, we were the superpower.
As time has gone on, morals have slipped. Religion is on the wayside. And, honestly I can understand why. Christians, or those who call themselves such, are supposed to be a group of people who are different. They are called to be set apart from all other people, in the fact that they are supposed to show the people of the world that living a life of faith is not the way to go. Today, Christians, or those who attend churches, are no different than anyone else, in the fact that they are tolerant of many things that are happening.
For instance, Christians ought to have high standards for the things that they say. They should not judge anyone for anything, because that is what is called of them to do. I no longer consider myself "religious" because I don't believe that religion is the answer. In fact, I believe that religion has destroyed the right type of faith we are called to have.
Faith today is based on what you wear going to church, if you get out in the community and look good by performing duties that, while they help others, is just being done to look good on the outside. Inside those church walls, sure people gather together weekly, as it is instructed in the Bible to do, but the sermons are dry, the music is the same over and over. Churches are no standing room only because they offer nothing different from going out to a bar, essentially…just without the alcohol.
Nothing is being taught to people, and it is obvious that something isn't working the right way. And sadly, what has turned people away is because Christians are hypocritical in their walk of faith. This is just not how it is supposed to be. I went to this one church, for almost a year. I liked it, in the beginning. But, people will be people. They offended me in many ways. Yes, church people, offended me.
For instance, I had an incident that threw me for a loop. It upset me greatly, and so I turned to the church for comfort. Isn't that what we are supposed to do, if we attend church…turn to our brothers and sisters in a time for comfort? I needed a hug and prayer, that day. When I explained my situation with them, all I got was a bunch of giggles and laughs. No comfort, no hugs, no offer for prayers.
Another time in this same church, I was wearing an amethyst crystal because I had found out that they are supposed to help with insomnia, which I have dealt with. So, this older woman, who is supposed to be an "elder" in the church, looks down her nose at me, and says, right there in the sanctuary, "I think you need to speak to God about wearing that crystal. You are sending mixed signals." Judgment over something I was wearing? That offended me, because if you're a Christian, you ought to know that God does not judge what you are wearing.
So, yes, I have been turned off by the whole "religion" thing. But, am stronger in faith than I have ever been. It is when you endure trials and tribulation that you learn how to have faith. You see, having faith is something that only you, yourself can attain in your heart. It is nothing that you can gain through others (only knowledge and wisdom can be obtained through someone else if they have endured something that they can help you get through).
So, if you are atheist, if you have little faith, if you are unsure of your faith, please understand I know where you are coming from. I, myself, did not start reading the Bible until I was 30. I read it thoroughly 9 times, and each time, learned something more about myself. The Bible can help teach you how to be a true Christian in the sense. Churches are good if you're branching out, and trying to learn about the life of faith. But, they are not to be relied upon because they are fake as much as the rest of the world.
Faith is simply being a kind, loving person who treats others with respect, lives a quiet life without drama, one who understands that love comes from the heart, not in the giving of material things. A true Christian will dislike all that is immoral. For instance, it bothers me greatly that tv has become so lax that profanity is abundant even on mainstream tv shows. Sex has become the norm, and pornography has increase rampantly. If we don't watch it, we will soon be exposed to extreme pornography on our tv's because people are so complacent that they are allowing it to slowly happen.
It is happening slowly, not quickly, because that is the way that people will learn to accept the moral decline of our entertainment. Movies, tv, even music is being corrupted from what it used to be, and people are continuing to follow it and make it their idols.
So, what should you be doing? Start by reading the Bible (Romans preferably). Get to know what a true human being should look like for the NT tells us so. Think of the Bible as your instruction book. How many of us are so screwed up because we have lived in dysfunctional families, and the trend keeps getting passed through generation after generation. How many seek advice on how to live through self-help books, through counselors, through psychiatrists, etc? When all that one really needs is the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth).
This year is it, my dear friends out there. This year is the year that the consciousness is going to take a huge leap, and things will get wild. All the darkness that has been allowed to lurk and fester, growing in power, will be uncovered. The secrets that have been hidden for a long time will become revealed.
You see, even if you don't care to change yourself before the onslaught of the coming awareness, then you are only hurting yourself. For, if you have something dark and sinister within you, it will be revealed not only to yourself, but to everyone around you. You will fall into your own pit on the unstable way that you are going.
It is those who have travelled the narrow path that will endure. For you see, the wide path is easy. It offers all the glitter that life can offer. But, it is not the true way in which one should be traveling in this game of life. For in the end, it will cause you all kinds of destruction.
For instance, are you addicted to something right now? That addiction will overcome you. The power of this addiction will then overpower you, and you will never be able to be loosed from its grips. Or do you have some form of habit that isn't becoming? Beware, then, for you will be stuck with that forever more.
See, when the awakening comes, it will be the prime time for all souls of the world to come together, once and for all into unity, peace and harmony. But, the tares and wheat must be separated. The wheat will be those who have worked on their spiritual lives, and the tares will be the ones who are lax and only lived for themselves and worldly things.
There is nothing that can be done for the hard souls who are unwilling to change. You, yourselves, will have to deal, then, with the consequences that you have brought upon yourself. What does this mean? Well, if you have evil intentions, you are going to find yourself in your own little world of nightmares. If you have good intentions, and are filled with love, then the world will be yours and life will be abundant.
It is your choice, however. Please remember that. What you choose to think and do in the coming times will set you up either to fall or rise when the time comes for this change to be fully implemented. If you choose to continue to follow a lost world into the pit of darkness, then only you, alone, will reap the consequences of your own decision. You will have no one else to blame.
If you choose to follow the path of the Light, then your headed for wonderment and a new way of being. Do you want to have a better life? Do you want things to change? It all begins with you. The time is near. Change yourself, and watch your world around you change right before your very eyes. Be like the caterpillar emerging from the cocoon/chrysalis and emerge anew.
Going to college is all well and good, but we see it today, where college education is really not helpful. It costs you a ton of money, and with the way things are going, what good is that degree? Young people who are now graduating are having their dreams smashed right under their noses because jobs are not catering to their education. It doesn't seem to matter, these days if you have spent all that money, because you won't get the dream job you have worked so hard for.
We are neglecting our souls, therefore, the rest of the world will go array. Have you ever heard that part of our brains aren't even being used? I have pondered this over and over. If part of our brain isn't being used, then what part is that, and if it is there, there is a reason God put it there.
My conclusion to this is that that part of the brain, which is pretty obvious, that is not being used, therefore, is our souls. How man y people do you know who is working on their minds, hearts and souls over anything in the material world? Not many.
Do you want to see a better world, where there is only love, joy, peace, and harmony among everyone that exists? Doesn't seem like that is possible these days does it? I mean, what with all the wars and rumors of more wars, earthquakes everywhere, weird weather, pestilences abounding, and the world gone haywire, the end times are here, wouldn't you agree?
If you can agree, then it is time to start taking responsibility for your part in the change. It is up to each and every one of us on how this world will change. It is going through a transition, so either we're ready to make it heaven on earth, or hell on earth. It is your choice. The time is near.
Choose to take the stand for good, and usher in a happy, great future for yourself and the rest of the world around you. Stand for bad, and the same will come to you. Whatever you dwell on, from now on, is the way that your life is going to turn. You are the driver. So let's head for happiness, shall we?

Amelia Island concours events to include seminar on investment cars
David Arnouts
The Ferrari Enzo is one of few cars that is considered a market-defying automotive investment.
The Ferrari Enzo is one of few cars that is considered a market-defying automotive investment.
People attending the 17th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will have the opportunity to take part in a free panel discussion about investment-grade collectible cars.
The seminar, "Defying the Economy: Enzo-era Ferraris, Shelbys and other Blue Chip Classic Cars," is set for March 9 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton. The event is sponsored by Hagerty Insurance.
Dave Kinney, author of the Market feature in each issue of Autoweek magazine and publisher of the Hagerty Price Guide, will be joined on the panel by Shelby expert Colin Comer and Ferrari historian Michael Sheehan. McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, will moderate the discussion.
"There are certain iconic cars that trade in a global market which has allowed them to withstand and even thrive in this unpredictable economy," Hagerty says. "And, there are still examples of undervalued cars that show excellent investment potential, even among well-established marques like Ferrari."
The seminar is open to the public. To sign up, visit www.hagerty.com/ameliaislandseminar or call (800) 922-4050, ext. 8541.

The Chinese are developing a thing for U.S. pecans.
Attracted by their perceived health benefits, the Chinese are gobbling up pecans from the United States in record amounts. Last year saw a staggering 64% jump in pecan exports to Hong Kong, according to the latest numbers from the Southern United States Trade Association.
The trend started a few years back. In 2007, the price of walnuts -- previously a favorite in China -- spiked. So the Chinese went searching for a more affordable nut. They found the U.S. pecan, which accounts for 80% of worldwide supply.
At first, Chinese buyers had a hard time securing supply, as pecan growers had long relationships with processors here in the United States. So they did what anyone wanting to make a splash in a new market does -- they brought cash.
"They literally took suitcases of money with them into the orchards," said Daniel Zedan, president of Nature's Finest Foods, an Illinois-based broker and marketer of tree nuts.
Zedan said the Chinese offered to pay 25% cash up front for a whole year's worth of the choicest crop, with the remaining 75% payable when the nuts arrived in Hong Kong harbor.
The strategy worked. Last year over 20% of U.S. production went to China, said Zedan -- exports with a cash value of over $140 million, according to SUSTA. Next year Zedan expects China to buy nearly a third of the country's pecans.
For pecan growers -- found in every state south of the Mason-Dixon Line but especially concentrated in Georgia, Texas and New Mexico -- this is fantastic news.
"China is looking at the highest-end pecan, and they are paying a premium for it," said Jake Montz, orchard manager at Montz Pecans in Wichita Falls, Texas. "If I want to plant more orchards, I know I can make money."
Montz said he currently ships about 10% of his crop to China. But he's hoping aggressive marketing efforts currently underway by groups like SUSTA and the National Pecan Growers Council will open up more opportunities in places such as India or Indonesia.

Can a new approach to conservation help landowners and endangered species coexist?
The so-called "Sportsmen's Heritage Act" is just another attempt to destroy the Wilderness Act and the land and wildlife it protects.
Candidate conservation agreements try to keep rare species, like Colorado's Gunnison sage grouse, off the endangered species list, or at least healthy enough to lessen the restrictions that come with listing.
An early encounter with the wily bull trout teaches an angler lifelong respect for this rare fish, and for the Endangered Species Act that helps keep it alive.
