Tomorrow's Rabbi Today
What does the synagogue of the future look like? Today synagogue affiliation rates are dropping, as are affiliation rates across all religious denominations in America. This fact combined with the current economic climate is causing many synagogues to close or merge. Rabbis and lay leaders across the country are trying to reinvigorate their synagogues and attract new members. Much of the conversation focuses on the rabbi. What skills do rabbis need today to lead a successful synagogue? How do rabbis acquire those skills? What new roles can rabbis find outside of the synagogue walls?
Hayim Herring's new book Tomorrow's Synagogue Today strives to answer these questions. Rabbi Herring does an admiral job of describing the changing context of American synagogue life and exploring the issues synagogues must look at to strengthen their core functioning. He advocates using social networking and collaborative programs to increase a congregation's reach. His assessment of how to create a strong organizational system is right on target. He then goes on to address the question of the rabbi.
Here, I think Rabbi Herring gets a lot right, but also makes a few missteps. I agree whole heartedly with his assertion that rabbis today need to be passionate leaders who can speak to the issues of the day and enhance our understanding of our world by using Jewish wisdom. I also agree that today's rabbis need to be entrepreneurs. The Rabbis Without Borders program, which I direct, focuses on giving rabbis the skills they need to be entrepreneurs. We need rabbis who are thinking out of the box and using Torah in new and creative ways which will help people make meaning in their lives. I was turning each page of the book, saying to myself, "yes, yes, you got it right," I then hit a page which surprised me.
The heading on this page is "Reducing Some Current Rabbinic Roles." The first role listed is: pastoral counseling. What? I was so shocked I had to stop reading for a few minutes to absorb the thought. Rabbis should do less pastoral counseling? Rabbi Herring writes, "This is one area where they can scale back. Rabbis can partner with Jewish Family Service (JFS) counseling staff or develop a "train the trainer" approach, and train Jewish metal health professionals to provide a Jewish spiritual dimension to their counseling."
I must respectfully disagree with Rabbi Herring on this point. Not all rabbis have a talent for pastoral counseling, and those who do not, are well advised to refer people elsewhere. However, pastoral counseling is an incredibly strong tool for a rabbi to use in making a significant impact in both an individual and a communities life. I experienced this first hand when I was the Director of the MetroWest Jewish Health and Healing Center in West Orange NJ. The program was a join program between the JCC, JFS, and local chaplaincy group. In my role, I was available for pastoral counseling for the community at large. After introducing myself to the area rabbis, and leading a few workshops with the social workers at JFS so that they could understand my role and how it differed from theirs, I expected referrals to start coming in, which they did. Social workers are not trained to handle spiritual matters. In fact they are advised to steer clear of them. Even after conducting in service trainings with them, most of the JFS social workers were uncomfortable adding a spiritual assessment to their intake or addressing spiritual issues in their session. Several started referring clients to me for counseling. Together we were able to serve many individuals and help them work though mental and spiritual issues. In addition, rabbis, who did not feel comfortable counseling also, referred their congregants to me. My partnership with the area rabbis also worked well. I could serve their congregants needs, but not steal them away since I did not lead my own congregation.
But the greatest surprise came from the number of unaffiliated people who called me for counseling. A good 80%-90% of the people I saw for counseling were unaffiliated Jews. These were people who needed to a rabbi about an issue which brings up spiritual questions like bereavement or illness and had nowhere else to turn. Because I was based in a JCC, and not a synagogue I was easily accessible. Once I met with someone a whole host of questions and needs would be presented. I was able to skillfully introduce people to Jewish prayers, texts, stories, and meditations which could help them. Clients were amazed that Judaism had so much to offer. And in many cases, after meeting with me they expressed a desire to learn more and be connected to the community. I was then able to match them up with synagogue communities, or other leaning opportunities.
Pastoral counseling is a means to growing the larger Jewish community. There are some questions about the meaning of life and death which cannot be found through a Google search. Pastoral counseling is a unique skill and training which some rabbis and other clergy possess which is markedly different from what a mental health professional can offer. Rather than dismissing pastoral counseling as a skill rabbis can do without, I would instead argue that rabbis should receive better training in pastoral counseling and chaplaincy. When a rabbi is able to connect with an individual at a time of need, then that individual will have an emotional connection to that rabbi and by extension the Jewish community which will last a lifetime. We need to find entrepreneurial ways for rabbis to offer more pastoral counseling not less.

The times they are a changing…..Thank God!
When I was in rabbinical school in the mid to late 1990s the Jewish Theological Seminary, the Conservative movement's Rabbinical School, did not knowingly admit or ordain gay or lesbian rabbis. I say "knowingly" because there were some students in the closet. Being a supporter of gay ordination, I did everything I could to try to move the process forward.
I will never forget the day that myself and another student met with the then Chancellor Ismar Schorsch. The two of us began to passionately speak about the Jewish values which informed our belief that gays and lesbians should be ordained. After only a few sentences had left our mouths, the Chancellor interrupted and said, "Let me stop you there. Gays and Lesbians will not be ordained at JTS while I am still Chancellor. It is not going to happen." Then, he escorted us out of his office.
The experience left me a little shaken and very sad. I could not believe that he would not even listen to us. He had no interest in even discussing the topic. None! I hated that I was attending a school which did not uphold one of my core values. The Bible tells us time and again "Welcome the strangers in your midst because you were once strangers in the land of Egypt." I hold the value of welcoming, inclusivity and acceptance as one of the highest Jewish values. As a Jew growing up in Austin, Texas, I often felt like a stranger. As a woman studying to be a rabbi, I often felt like a stranger. I think most people feel like a stranger at some point in their lives. In my mind a Judaism that is not open, welcoming and accepting is not a Judaism that I want to practice.
Chancellor Schorsch retired in 2006. One year later, The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) voted to ordain gay and lesbian rabbis. I was thrilled and excited by this change. Aaron Weininger, a Rabbi Without Borders Student Fellow, became the first openly gay student admitted to The Seminary. And last year Rachel Isaacs became the first out lesbian to be ordained by JTS. (She transferred in to JTS and graduated a year ahead of Aaron who will be ordained this May.)
While I celebrated this progress, I heard from rabbinical school students that The Schechter Institute for Jewish Studies in Israel, the Conservative Movements Rabbinical School in Israel would not admit gay students. This posed a problem since all JTS students are required to spend a year studying at The Schechter Institute as part of their rabbinical school training. The gay and lesbian students were again being made to feel like strangers, unwelcome in the Movement and Institutions they wanted to study in. Gay and lesbian JTS students had to find somewhere else to study for their year in Israel. To my mind, this was an unacceptable situation. I lamented the fact that while admitting gay student JTS did not seem to be capable of thinking through all of the various needs of these students and could not find ways to support them.
Then, just last week, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, The Schechter Institute board voted to admit gay and lesbian students. The significance of this decision coming in Holocaust Remembrance Day cannot be understated. Both Jews and homosexuals were singled out by Hitler to be exterminated. Jews wore a yellow star while homosexuals were forced to wear a pink triangle. Gay Jews were of course twice cursed. I would like to think that the vote of the Schechter board, coming on the day it did, was an acknowledgement that past discrimination against homosexual students was wrong. I would like to think that Jews, gays, women, and other minorities are all in the same boat. We must look out for one another, support one another, and advance each other's goals. To do any less would be an abdication of our responsibility as Jews.
While this decision is momentous, I know that the fight for full acceptance of gay rabbis is not over. Many synagogues will not hire a gay rabbi and some other rabbis will not accept gay rabbis as equal colleagues. Women rabbis still face this issue and JTS began ordaining women over twenty five years ago!
I strongly believe that the Conservative Movement needs to stand behind each and every rabbi they ordain. The Movement has a responsibility to these rabbis to support them in their job searches and career growth. Lay leaders and Jewish professionals across the country need to have conversations about diversity and acceptance. If we cannot practice this in our own intuitions how are we to promote acceptance of difference, particularly religious difference, with a clear conscience. How can we fight against anti Semitism the world over if we do not accept the minorities within our own communities?
"Never Forget!" is said each and every year on Holocaust Remembrance Day. We must remember those who died due to discrimination and prejudice and we must make sure that we ourselves do not employ discriminatory practices. Each one of us was created in the image of God. We are all holy beings no matter the color of our skin, our gender, or who we love. God loves each one of us and we need to love ourselves.
Yashar Koach (Right on!) to the Schechter Institute for making this decision. Let's continue to support each individual who wants to study, teach and lead the Jewish people.

Into the Conversation
I was recently in an awkward social situation. My husband and I were invited to dinner at the home of friends along with third couple whom we didn't know. As introductions began, I asked the new acquaintances where they live. I mentioned that I know their town pretty well. "How?" they wondered. I explained that many members of our synagogue live in that town. They asked which synagogue we were from and that launched them into a long discussion of their experience in synagogue life. I assumed from this conversation that they knew that I am a rabbi, but soon learned that I was wrong.
The couple shared lots of reactions to things their rabbi and cantor (but mostly the rabbi) had recently done, and their critique was expansive. It wasn't an angry conversation, but more like banter about their disagreements with their clergy. I mostly listened, but when the reflections circled back to one particular grievance regarding a change in the synagogue worship, I said that surely that change had been vetted with the leadership and the board (meaning –it is not only the rabbi's responsibility.) Our dinner companion then turned to me and said, "What…. are you a synagogue president or something?" I said, "No, I'm a rabbi."
This created some confused and embarrassed sputtering and apologies for gossiping about rabbis. I diffused it quickly by telling them I was amused by the conversation, even as I wondered to myself what my congregants would be saying about what I had done that day as they sat at dinner parties. I laughed it off and the subject was quickly changed (for a while at least, until the "Well, you're a rabbi, can I ask you….? started up.)
I could have been critical. I could have told them about about the challenge of leadership of the American synagogue, especially during changing times. I could have chided their criticisms as selfish. I could have cited Jewish texts that command us to refrain from speaking ill of others and gossiping. But none of those responses would have been constructive. Instead, I chose to support them for taking sufficient interest in their congregation as to want to talk about it.
While gossip can indeed be breed negativity and divisiveness, I chose to see this exchange not so much as about gossip as being like a Talmudic exchange. In the Talmud, the rabbis who shaped the Judaism that we inherited speak in a discourse of disagreement, often quoting their colleagues to support their own positions. It is in the dialogue that Jewish ideas, values, beliefs and practices take shape. The Talmud sets the stage for a long tradition of questioning and critical thinking.
One of the greatest gifts left us by Talmudic sages was the Passover Seder. They managed to create a very structured ritual that is designed to be an open educational experience. They understood that the best way to learn is to ask questions and vigorously discuss ideas and lessons from every angle. They wanted us to enter the world that they modeled for us, where dialogue, debate and personal opinions open worlds of possibilities for growth.
There is an enigmatic story in the Haggadah, the book we use for the Seder. It tells of a group of rabbis sitting up all night learning — discussing meanings and ideas. Historical analyses aside, this story is so cryptic that we have no choice but to wonder out loud, "What were they doing?" "What were they thinking?" "What does this have to do with me?"
If we skip this opportunity for open discussion, we have missed the point of the seder. Just as our dinner acquaintance wanted a forum for discussing the "what was he thinking?" question relating to their rabbi, and no doubt these conversations happen in many a synagogue parking lot, our sages gave us a nod of encouragement to engage.
I hope we use the dinner table of the Seder to banter, to discuss, to question, and to think. "What were they thinking?" becomes "What are we thinking?" It's more than entertaining; it's about meaning. I wish you an engaging, enlightening, meaningful Pesach/Passover.

We Shall Overcome Someday!
We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, Deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
The words of this song reverberated in my head on Friday night as I attended a service in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. Both men are being remembered this weekend. Though from very different traditions, they became friends and fought for justice and civil rights together in the sixties.
The power of their work and the words they preached hold a special significance for me this year. Earlier in the day on Friday, I attended a meeting about female rabbis and their job placement issues. Last spring, all rabbis faced a very difficult job market, but women, older rabbis, and single rabbis had especially hard times finding jobs. Congregations gravitate towards male rabbis in their thirties who are married and have young children. The meeting I attended was to help brainstorm ways to cut through this narrow image of what a rabbinic leader looks like. Many ideas were shared; one was to have a "Diversity Shabbat" during which time congregations would learn about women rabbis. I interjected "and gay rabbis too" another woman said, "and single rabbis." "Well, wait a minute" a voice said, "I don't know that we want to lump together women and gay rabbis. A gay rabbi can hide that he or she is gay on a resume, but a woman can't. We need to stand up for ourselves and protect our interests."
I was shocked by this response. The Conservative Movement only recently decided to ordain openly gay rabbis, and it is still controversial in some circles just as women's ordination was almost twenty years ago. (And some will argue still is.) However, I strongly believe that once the Movement decides to ordain a particular class of rabbis like, women and gays, then the Movement must support all of its rabbis and help them find jobs. For a woman rabbi, herself a minority to stand up and say that we should not be concerned with the plight of gay rabbis is abhorrent to me. We are all in a very small boat together. If we do not protect and stand up for each other, then we are all going to sink. Dr King's famous line: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" speaks to me loud and clear.
Add to this that the meeting took place in a congregation in Bergen County New Jersey. Over the past few weeks four synagogues in the county have been vandalized. In the last event, a rabbis home was firebombed while the rabbi and his children slept inside, just as black activists homes where firebombed in the south in the sixties. Luckily the rabbi and his family escaped with only minor injuries. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_jersey&id=8498756 As a result of this criminal activity police are actively patrolling the streets around every synagogue in Bergen County.
Seeing a police car sitting outside of both the synagogues I attended this shabbat was at once reassuring and anxiety provoking. The anxiety came from the fact that the police felt we needed protection, and then, the fact that they were there was reassuring. It was a strange mix of emotions. I would rather the need for them to be there did not exist at all.
But there is a need. There is still a need for Jews to be protected in this country. There is still a need for African Americans to treated equally. There is still a need for homosexuals to be seen as created in God's image like every other human being. And there is still a need for women to fight for their rights. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere!"
On this day when we remember the great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King we need to stand up and fight for justice, for equal treatment, equal opportunity, and equal pay. We cannot let minorities turn on each other as they fight over a very small slice of pie. And we cannot let hate and fear take over our communities. I hope you take some time today to both remember and to take action. What injustices affect your life? Start there and then work to help others.
We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, Deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

NASCAR says Jeremy Mayfield has again tested positive for
methamphetamine and wants the federal judge who lifted the driver's drug suspension to reinstate the ban.
The positive result from a July 6 random test was included in a U.S. District Court filing Wednesday.
The filing includes an affidavit from Mayfield's stepmother, who claims she personally witnessed the driver using methamphetamine at least 30 times over seven years.
NASCAR says in its filings that the "A" sample had levels of methamphetamine consistent with habitual users who consume high
The filing also claims Mayfield and his attorneys have failed to select a qualified laboratory to test the backup "B" sample.

Official results will not be released until January 2, although similar polls - known as "quick counts" - accurately forecast the result of national elections in Indonesia in 2004 and in scores of other countries in the world.
The polls are the first since the government and separatists signed a peace deal in the province last year.
The huge loss of life proved the eventual spur to bringing an end to the province's brutal 29-year civil war.
In a Finnish-brokered peace deal signed on August 15, 2005, both the rebels and the Indonesian government made major concessions.
Post-tsunami rehousing: Some 25,000 families homelessDisputes about dividing government funds for reintegration of former rebelsTackling unemployment among demobilised rebelsOverseeing Islamic sharia courts and authority of religious police
Meanwhile the government removed half of the 50,000 troops stationed in Aceh and promised the region control of 70 per cent of it mineral wealth.
A force of 13,000 police officers was deployed to monitor voting at more than 8,400 polling stations.

Longwei Petroleum Appraisal Values Huajie Assets At $119.4 Million
TAIYUAN CITY, China, Oct. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Ltd. (NYSE MKT: LPH) ("Longwei" or the "Company"), an energy company engaged in the storage and distribution of finished petroleum products in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), has completed an independent appraisal of the assets purchased from Huajie Petroleum Co., Ltd. ("Huajie") and received the official asset ownership registration documents from the local government.
Longwei contracted Shanxi Wan Jia Assets Appraisal LLP ("Shanxi Wan Jia") to inspect and perform an independent valuation report of the Huajie assets purchased on September 26, 2012. The updated appraisal value of the Huajie assets was RMB 752,066,600 (approximately $119.4 million), a 7.5% increase in value over the purchase price. The updated valuation report is also an increase of approximately $3.5 million from the February 13, 2011 independent valuation report of RMB 730,113,500 (approximately $115.9 million), due to the increase in the real estate value. Shanxi Wan Jia is a certified member of the China Appraisal Society.
"The updated appraisal shows the additional value we received in the Huajie asset purchase," said Cai Yongjun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Longwei. "We are pleased to have closed on the Huajie asset purchase using our own cash resources without dilution to our shareholders, and we are now fully operational at the facility."The Huajie facility nearly doubles Longwei's storage capacity to a total of 220,000 metric tons and extends the Company's reach into the fast-growing industrial region of northern Shanxi Province. The purchased assets include fuel storage tanks with a 100,000-metric-ton capacity with accessory facilities and equipment, delivery and distribution platforms, including a dedicated rail spur, and a vehicle loading and unloading station. The purchase also included a 3,000-square-meter office building and land use rights for 98 acres of land adjacent to the main regional rail line. The Company has posted the updated appraisal report to its corporate website at http://www.longweipetroleum.com/operations/storage-operations. The document can be seen in the "Operations" section of the website under the description of the Huajie Facility. "We are committed to continuing to improve our level of transparency and disclosure with our shareholders," stated Mr. Cai. "We have recently achieved several milestones that we hope will be catalysts to boost shareholders' confidence in our Company and lead to an improved earnings multiple that reflects our operating performance.

Psalm 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16;
Romans 8:26-27;
Matthew 13:24-43
When I was in maybe fourth grade, our teacher had us do a project involving little empty milk cartons, dirt, and seeds. The stated purpose was to have presentable little marigolds and petunias to give our mothers on Mother's Day. The underlying purpose was, I think, to teach us about seeds and growth, life and patience. Anyway, I contracted a great enthusiasm for living, growing plants of all kinds. I would save seeds from watermelons and plant them in the garden. I never did get any edible melons, but, wow!, how those vines did grow. One summer, in the empty lot next door, I noticed a patch of little plants with a very delicate interesting leaf. No, it wasn't marijuana. I watered them, weeded them, and watched them grow. Then one day someone said to me, "Mike, those are just ragweed." Well, they were beautiful to me. But I did lose interest in them eventually, probably when they got huge and gangly. But there was a lesson in that about what makes a weed a weed. If you love it, it's not a weed.
If a farmer plants wheat in his field, he wants to harvest wheat. It can be a matter of life or death in societies without crop insurance. That would be a compelling reason to label my darling little ragweeds weeds. Good farmers get after the weeds before they get a firm hold in the field. In our parable, apparently, the weeds had gotten hold. Better, then, to let them grow together with the wheat so as not to disturb the wheat pulling out the weeds. At the harvest, they will be separated, Till then, let them go.
The parable is an analogy of the human race and all the different kinds of people who live together in the world. You can have good, hard-working self-respecting contributing members of society in one house; and drug-dealing pimping thieves across the street. The destructive impact of the one kind is a compelling reason to call them weeds. And if the weeds get to strong a hold on a society, good people are tempted to do drastic weeding. The guillotine might have to work around the clock. Half of Nevada might have to be fenced off to hold all the prisoners, but desperate circumstances call for desperate measures. However, what happens to the desperate good people in the process? Can they yank out of the field of the world everyone labeled weeds without damaging themselves?
Many well-meaning desperate Germans voted for the Nazis in the election of 1933. Hitler didn't have a majority, but since other Parties split the rest of the vote, he got in as Chancellor. You might mention that the next time someone complains about our two Party system. Once in power Hitler moved to take care of the weeds, and that included not just conventional street criminals but Jews, the physically and mentally handicapped, believing Christians, and eventually anyone who questioned or thought for himself. The Nazis had their own definition of a weed, and it wasn't open for discussion. The whole horrible episode is a warning about the dangers of giving the human race a thorough weeding.
God lets the weeds and the wheat grow together because, while a ragweed plant will never be anything but ragweed, and a wheat plant will never be anything but wheat, a human can be either one, can stop being the one and become the other. Yes, there are those who say criminality is genetically determined, but there are too many reformed crooks to believe it. God can look at a human person who fits any definition of a weed and see something beautiful, or potentially beautiful. And while the TLC I lavished on my ragweed didn't produce anything but big ugly ragweed irritating to the eyes and sinuses, God's TLC lavished on a human weed can change him or her, turn them into something entirely different, turn them into beautiful golden wheat.
This is not to say that the criminal should not be restrained. The gentler members of society are not obliged to let themselves be abused by the sociopaths in our midst. What the parable about the weeds and the wheat does is tell us that God has a good reason for allowing people to do evil. He doesn't pluck us out of the field of the world at our first offense because He is more interested in repentance than in punishment. And I would bet money that each one of us here has reason to be glad that God governs us with such leniency. So we should be willing to bear with others – with those who may need our forgiveness, our intervention, another chance, and our good example. Or perhaps better to say, those who encounter God's merciful love in us.

Please note the language and tone of this monitored Website. This is not the place to stack up vulgar one-liners and crude rejoinders. While you may support, oppose or introduce any position or argument, submissions must meet our standards of logical rigor and civil discourse. We will not participate in merely trading insults, nor will we tolerate participants merely trading insults. Participants should not be thin-skinned or over sensitive to criticism, but should be prepared to defend their arguments when challenged. If you don't really have a coherent argument or counter-argument of your own, sit down and don't embarrass yourself. Nonsensical, immoral or merely insulting submissions will not be published here. If you have something serious to contribute to the conversation, back it up, keep it clean and keep it civil. We humbly apologize to all religious conservative thinkers for the need to even say these things.

Catholic American Thinker Back Issues
General Commentary Pages
Various unrelated topics that stirred thought and provoked writing (or quoting) at one time or another. The Everything Else Bucket.
Explaining the word "Catholic" in Catholic American Thinker. How do does the Catholic American Thinker retain distinctly Catholic identity and free thinking within mostly Protestant American culture?
Argument: The Good, The Bad and The Pointless. On the Reasoned Argument. (In the absence of reason, there is no valid argument.)
Political Parties: Redirecting allegiance away from the nation. Political Parties demand first obedience to the Party, not to the Constitution, slowly poisoning the nation.
Agent Provocateurs: Manipulated manipulators inflaming Ferguson MO. The agent provocateurs are defrauded fools defrauding and fooling a dumbed-down populace.
Treacherous Cronyism is bringing Western Civilization down, from the inside. America, Christianity, Judaism, ALL, are being laid low from within, via Treacherous Cronyism.
On Theory Dominating Substance, in science, religion, morality, and culture. Everywhere we look, we see the theoretical trumping the substantial, up and down the line.
Can we find actual Evil inside the Catholic Church? Well, why not? The war between Satan's kingdom (the World) and the Kingdom of God, and Evil inside the Catholic Church.
A Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ deepens faith and faith commitment. A Personal Relationship with America deepens love of country and patriotic commitment.
The "Top Down" Catholic Revolution by Bishops Against Established Doctrine. The "Bottom Up" Catholic Revolution by Laymen For Established Doctrine.
On PC Stupidassery: Political Correctness Insanity. PC Stupidassery; a Political Platform, supported by indoctrination, propaganda and a fooled population.
The 2014 Mid-Term Elections Cometh: Here we go again. Next Tuesday, the 2014 Mid-Term Elections are upon us. What are we going to do about it?
Anathematizing anathema: the predictable result of the denial of evil. In a world that denies the existence of evil, anathematizing anathema itself is the only anathema allowed.
The Ebola Setup: Another possible trigger for the final revolution? The purposeful government infection of America, through the Ebola setup. Why?
Work at home jobs that have had me. A long, costly and unsuccessful run at work from home jobs that didn't work for us.
Truth versus Agenda addresses the simplest of problems greatly complexified. Truth versus Agenda examines the contest between reality and its opposition.
Vic has Iron Weights for sale; Mama says they have to go. Lots of iron weights for sale; all have to go at once, in one sale.
The challenge describes Capitalism as illusory and Marxism as solid. The mixture of religion just adds to the confusion of all good realists.
Indifferentism and Moral Relativism eats away at Catholic Culture. Catholicism stands against Indifferentism. Where do you stand?
My poor old truck is again starting to look like a poor old truck. After half-a-million miles, we're now approaching another decision time; another paint job, or a new truck.
Battle Line: Where the advancing secular army meets Judeo-Christian moral norms. The Secular Position (or Agenda) involves Proactive, Aggressive Anti-Theism, and not merely "neutral" Atheism.
A return to the American Ideal means a severe reduction in Government. To return to positive growth and progress means, necessarily, purging our nation from all Marxist-Socialist philosophical influence and a return to the American Ideal.
Why this hatred of Palin? What galls modern women of the Left about Sarah Palin? The blind hatred of Palin we're seeing expressed is not merely because of hatred and intolerance of the pro-life religious moral standard.
A Palin Parker Ticket? My Dream Candidates for 2012. Why a Palin Parker ticket is better than any professional politician Republican ticket you can come up with for 2012.
Elitism Vs Palinism: Why the Left and the Elites Loath and Fear Sarah Palin. It isn't just Marxism Vs Palinism; it's also established intellectual elitism vs Palinism. The elite need someone to look down upon.
How is it that opposing amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is "arrogant"? If my pro-Catholic, pro-American, anti-alternative-ethos position is "arrogant," then, exactly what is the position of those who claim superiority or even equality with it?
Here we see Bush family class captured in a simple private citizen's photo. George W. (and Mrs.) Bush quietly demonstrate Bush family class without hoopla or fanfare.
Marxists love crisis, and they love an oil spill crisis most of all. Marxists even create and drive crisis. Their favorite crisis of all must be the Oil Spill Crisis, which is even better than a Banking Crisis.
American Military Assault Weapons originally intended in the 2nd Amendment. To miss the point of the 2nd Amendment is to miss the point of the whole Constitution.
For God and Country – More Thoughts on America, and on National Existence. For God and Country: Comparisons of martyrdom and heroism, Sovereign Nationhood Vs. Internationalism, distinct people-hood Vs. the Global Village, and Godliness Vs. godlessness.
The Godless Left leads the young and naive to their utopian Hell. For an honest comparison of the effects on youth, we need to look to the history of the Godless Left versus the Religious Right.
The Rabbi Meir Kahane Open Letter to the World is a must read. No decent world history course is complete without the Rabbi Meir Kahane Open Letter to the World.
Aleksandr I.Solzhenitsyn warns the American Worker and American organized labor. Solzhenitsyn speaks to us as a worker from the "Worker's Paradise" of Communism; words of warning for all who understand the meaning of the word Liberty.
World Revolution returns with a vengeance: the rebirth of Marxism. Marxist world revolution returns, and faces far less opposition than in 1848 or the period between the Great Wars.
Our argument against public despair, hopelessness and pessimism re the future. Despair is a mortal sin, the opposite of the virtue of hope; it is a sin unto the death of the soul, a repudiation and rejection of God's grace.
On Threats to America's National Existence. A look at the nature of our national existence, what makes us America, physical threats to that, and the possibility of just going out of existence.
On the ethics of language: English dictionary Vs. Political-Correctness taboos. Language evolves, yet morals are (or should be) fixed. This poses questions re the ethics of language.
Thinking Catholic direction: threats to America, Church, Ethos, even History. The Thinking Catholic Direction is multi-faceted, facing threats to American National Existence, Catholic Liturgy, our common Guiding Ethos - emphasis changes to meet the threat of the moment.
Catholics learn and practice Glossalalia, in the Life In The Spirit seminars. Life in the Spirit seminars, fueling the Catholic Charismatic renewal, bring tongue-speaking "Glossalalia", and being "Slain in the Spirit", to Catholicism.

A 2006 Christmas and Hanukkah wish. May the Holy Days we celebrate remind us all of who we are, and how we are different from other peoples.
Current Democratic Party platform reveals anti-Semitic streak among Liberals. In their voting, their speechifying, and in the slant of their controlled mainstream media reporting, the current Democratic Party Platform is made clear to all observers.
The "Left", and The DaVinci Code, The Passion, and Cartoons of Mohammed. You can tell a lot about a movement by its public words. The Passion? "Unreservedly Bad." The DaVinci Code? "Unreservedly Good." Anything to do with Islam? "No Comment."
Who's driving the Health Care bus? Health insurance companies "grading" doctors? Health insurance companies grading doctors: a legitimized conflict of interest. A preparatory step toward the nationalization of the health insurance industry?
On the forced use of medical boiler plate language rather than simple notes. The "little dictators" from insurance companies and government bureaucracies force MDs to use stilted, verbose, medical boiler plate language in their own documentation.

Hydrogen power could be, and should be, the wave of our automotive future. Any move toward hydrogen power is a move toward a cleaner and more efficient fuel, and away from our dangerous dependency on oil.

What's going on with Mel Gibson? Is he really an anti-Semite? I am surprised that Mel Gibson is an alcolholic. But I am never surprised at any words that come out of the mouth of any drunk.
Still Worrying Over NuVo Consequences. The Holidays have gone by, several days have passed, and the SANE NuVo Initiative still stands pat.
The Dem's October Surprise involves another flip-flop of their public "standard". The clearly pro-sodomy Party that openly seeks the "Gay" vote goes Victorian for another pre-election October Surprise ploy.
Some Problems with NuVo: the so-called Null-Vote Initiative. A "philosophical" movement aimed at keeping religious conservatives from voting? Seriously? Let me state my problems with NuVo.
Come, let us sit and reason together. Jews and Christians of various stripe and spot can say to each other, 'Come, let us sit and reason together.' But we can't do that with the Moslems.
Regarding SANE works dropping NuVo: Nul Vote Initiative dies with a whimper. If you can't really present a good argument, sit down. On SANE Works dropping the NuVo Initiative: a program that works hard to SOUND pro-American while ACTING to oppose American National Existence.
Even experts grossly underestimate the Marxist zeal of the American Left. The sharp Left turn happened in the Hoover-FDR era, and the Marxism of the American Left has been deepening ever since.
Thinking American, in a nutshell: When one has lots to say, but time is limited. The older I get, the busier I get. Answering multiple questions as a thinking American, but in a hurry.
"We are an Easter People, and Hallelujah is our Song." (John Paul the Great) Our absolutely unique and singular Easter story, and the incredible force with which it struck human history.
Witnessing, grieving and weeping for our dieing culture. What might it take to call a whole people back from the brink of cultural death?
If we have an inherent right to something, then, who must supply it? Rights and Responsibilities exist in paired sets; a right does not exist in the absence of a related responsibility. If indeed we have a right to our job, then, someone must provide it. Who?
So how come we have all these homeless people if our system is so great? The strong "Utopian Idealist" firmly believes that absolute worldly perfection is actually possible. Therefore, there should never be any such thing as a hungry or homeless person.
Taking a look at Illegal Imigration and Tax Problem solutions. In our view, the minimum wage and income tax have outlived their usefulness, and only contribute to the illegal alien problem.

More Marxist infiltration of higher education. Public school and the media are not the only places dominated by Marxist thought; even Catholic institutions are infected.
Of Families and Fortunes, and Inheritance Vs. Redistribution. Families and Fortunes are despised by Marxists, because Marxism demonizes the family, demonizes fortunes, and even demonizes profit.

Minnesota lawmakers are getting nowhere over how to resolve constitutional questions about the state's sex offender treatment program, but the same can't be said about the program's costs.
They're going somewhere - up.
About 50 new patients enter the program every year, a growth rate that threatens to swamp existing facilities in the next few years. A Senate committee Thursday will review a request for $7.4 million this year to renovate and expand the St. Peter treatment center.
Lawmakers are under pressure to comply with a federal judge's warning last month to create a more humane program or risk the judge ruling it unconstitutional and putting it under court control. But despite that and the looming costs, top lawmakers and Gov. Mark Dayton say they doubt it'll happen this session.

Fabulously Scented Handmade Soap!

Purchased at iHerb
This is my second purchase of the soap. This is a really nicely scented soap, and I have used the Patcholi Orange but prefer this one much better. It has a nice sandalwood scent with light citrus note. The quality of the soap is good too, but it varies by batch to batch, as the last one was not as strongly scented as this one I purchased the second time. Good body soap for a treat (not for a face...too strongly scented but love it as a hand/body soap fabulously scented so calming and relaxing!)

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

AmeriServ Financial Inc. Receives $21 Million Of Capital From The Small Business Lending Fund
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AmeriServ Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASRV) today reported that it received $21 million from the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF).

@SMXLR8: This have to do with the meteor-cutting feat?
I'd say wait and see what else the shikai can do before jumping the gun on assumptions. Kenny could equal Berserker in raw strength with that feat, but God Hand's still an issue.
@othus12: There was never an upper limit shown to his strength within the series. Of what is shown, the pressure of just a casual swing he exerts from his sword can level several buildings around him all at once and he was capable of deflecting a weak Excaliblast from Saber with raw strength. The Servants within the Holy Grail War could be easily killed in one hit if he inflicted a direct hit on them, which includes even those as strong as Saber whose armor is city-level durability at its maximum output of power. Even if one is successful at blocking Berserker's blows, the raw power exerted from them is enough to drive back his foes dozens of feet away.
Also considering Berserker is Hercules, it's possible to assume that he retains whatever physical capabilities he had during his time alive in the myths. During one of his Twelve Labors, Hercules was shown to hold up the world while he was awaiting Atlas to give him the apples of the Hesperides.

As soon as you knew you wanted (or needed) a new job, you got on Facebook and let all your friends and connections there know what you could do and that you were available, right?

|Rams quarterback Sam Bradford feels that new head coach Jeff Fisher has already made a difference at Rams Park. - (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Things have not been easy for Bradford, especially when you consider the Rams have lost 23 games during his first two seasons.
That is more losing than Bradford did during his entire career at Oklahoma.
Bradford must improve upon his sophomore campaign. If Bradford improves, it will cascade down the entire roster and the team will be better.
While the situation for Bradford has been anything but stable with the carousel at offensive coordinator, things look to be improving at Rams Park thanks to the steadying influence of veteran head coach Jeff Fisher.
Bradford feels that Fisher has already made a difference.
"Having Coach Fisher there is something that is really going to help our organization. He's a guy who's been in the league and winning games for a long time now. He's knows what he's doing. From Day 1, he's had the respect of everyone in our locker room, which I think is extremely important."
"The changes that have been made this year and in the offseason are definitely going to help us win games."Bradford may be a young player, but he is already one of the leaders of this team. It is a natural progression for a quarterback.
Bradford's public support of Fisher and the new coaching staff is important as the team prepares to open training camp soon. The Rams have a lot of improving to do in order to turn things around. But with Fisher and Bradford on the same page, things can only be busier at as the Rams try to get back to winning in 2012.

Navistar International Corp. (NAV:US) bonds dropped to the lowest price since they were issued after a U.S. appeals court ruled it can no longer sell engines that don't comply with environmental standards.
Navistar's $900 million of 8.25 percent notes due November 2021 dropped 5 cents to 93 cents on the dollar at 2:53 p.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The bonds fell as low as 89.9 cents, the lowest price since the third-biggest U.S. and Canadian maker of truck engines sold them in 2009. Yields on the bonds, the most active in the speculative-grade market today with 65 trades, climbed to 9.4 percent from 8.56 percent.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington threw out an interim rule by the Environmental Protection Agency that allowed Navistar to sell non-compliant engines if it paid a fine. The court found that the U.S. agency had violated the Administrative Procedures Act in issuing the rule because it provided no formal notice or opportunity for comment.
Standard & Poor's last week downgraded Navistar to B+, four levels below investment grade, and said it may cut the company's ratings further after talking with management about its strategy. Fitch Ratings put Navistar's BB rating on "watch negative" on June 8.
Navistar lowered its annual profit forecast last week to a range of break-even to $2 a share as it copes with the repercussions of pursuing an emissions-reduction technology that has prevented it from winning EPA certification for its 13-liter engine.

Microsemi Announces "SEU Immunity: Is Your Design Really Safe?" Webinar Focused On Secure FPGAs For Safety-critical Aviation And Industrial Applications
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced it will host a single event upset (SEU) webinar titled "SEU Immunity: Is Your Design Really Safe?" on Wednesday, April 17 at 8 a.m. PDT. The webinar is intended for design engineers focused on safety-critical aviation, defense, industrial and medical applications.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/MM66070LOGO)
Topics will include:
- SEU Overview – What they are and why they matter
- Comparison of Flash, Antifuse and SRAM FPGAs and the risks of malfunction due to SEUs
- Results of SEU tests on Flash, Antifuse, and SRAM FPGAs
Webinar attendees will receive information on the risks and consequences of configuration failures in Flash, Antifuse and SRAM FPGA technologies, as well as background information on the physical failure mechanisms associated with SEUs. To register for the webinar, please visit https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/830266089.About Single Event Upsets (SEUs) SEUs are caused when sub-atomic particles such as neutrons strike the silicon substrate of an integrated circuit and cause binary code bits to flip, which can corrupt configuration cells in SRAM FPGAs and may cause catastrophic hardware malfunctions. Free neutrons are present at all levels in the atmosphere, at higher concentrations at higher altitudes, and are especially problematic at aviation altitudes. Sources of sub-atomic particles also exist in IC packaging materials. Microsemi's Antifuse and Flash-based FPGAs do not experience changes of configuration due to subatomic particles. This is in direct contrast to SRAM FPGAs, which can experience catastrophic changes of functionality due to SEUs affecting their configuration. Microsemi's Configuration-safe Devices Microsemi is a leading supplier of programmable logic solutions used extensively in aviation, defense, industrial and other safety critical applications due to their high reliability and immunity to configuration changes due to SEU occurrences. SmartFusion™2 SoC FPGAs:
- Meet industry standards including IEC 61508, DO254 and DO178B;
- Configuration SEU immunity of zero failures in time (FIT); and
- Only SoC FPGA that protects all its SoC embedded SRAM memories from SEU errors.
- Large and growing heritage of successful deployment in DAL-A and DAL-B safety critical aviation applications on Boeing and Airbus aircraft; and
- Wide variety of device densities and package sizes.
- Radiation-tolerant;
- SEU-hardened flip-flops use built-in triple modular redundancy (TMR); and
- QML Class V qualification and screening.
