Personally I'm thinking Islam (sans its ban on charging interest) is the religion most in-line w/ free market and voluntaryist values. For one thing, they use real money. Also, markets in the Islamic world were some of the freest in history. They didn't see the problems which arose in Europe and East Asia.
I could care less what religion is the most free market. It's really irrelevant to what the aims of whatever religion you care to adhere to are.
Satanism for sure. It's a religion based around a contractual agreement.
Neodoxy: Satanism for sure. It's a religion based around a contractual agreement.
Well played.
Actually, the Church of Satan had some rather libertarian-ish views on ethics. It's been questioned whether Rand was an influence on LaVey, but there's really no evidence to support this (but it's fact that Ragnar Redbeards Might is Right was an influence, which "Libertarian historian James J. Martin called it "surely one of the most incendiary works ever to be published anywhere.' ")
Definitely my faith, Zoroastrianism.
Zoroastrianism [...] rejects every form of asceticism, has no dualism of matter and spirit (only of good and evil), and sees the spiritual world as not very different from the natural one, and the word "paradise" (via Latin and Greek from Avestan pairi.daeza, literally "stone-bounded enclosure") applies equally to both. Central to Zoroastrianism is the emphasis on moral choice, to choose the responsibility and duty for which one is in the mortal world, or to give up this duty and so facilitate the work of druj. Similarly, predestination is rejected in Zoroastrian teaching. Humans bear responsibility for all situations they are in, and in the way they act toward one another. Reward, punishment, happiness, and grief all depend on how individuals live their lives. In Zoroastrianism, good transpires for those who do righteous deeds. Those who do evil have themselves to blame for their ruin. Zoroastrian morality is then to be summed up in the simple phrase, "good thoughts, good words, good deeds" (Humata, Hukhta, Hvarshta in Avestan), for it is through these that asha is maintained and druj is kept in check.

So does satanism look down on fiat currency? b/c islam certainly does.
True, we're pretty religious. =)
Dude, you want to run about half naked in a tent, detest civilization, and "do everything yourself". What does it matter to you about currency or markets - or what is better for them to thrive? You are one step away from saying "square circle".
Besides all that, in this day and age anything that was worthwhile said in any religion has been absorbed into better clearer grammer long long ago - all it can be in these much brighter and more relevant days is an obvious grammatical error of the worst kind... at best . At worst empty psychologisms, or a sales pitch to low grade rubes or second rate intellectuals who have out thought themselves.
For example, I was praying at the shrine of Non-Aggression today, paying tithes to the LP and supporting the Rothbard Caucus, and religiously watching some Rothbard lectures today. God, if I could have chosen one man live for all eternity...xD
Than you sir a a heretic - a true Rothbardian would never pay tithes to the LP!!!
Oh, ha, that is true, I will have to switch my alliances at some point, if I get your meaning!
I think Taoism is fairly laissez-faire. Certain varieties of Buddhism are free-market friendly... I think Tibetan Buddhism is. Paradoxically, I think that many of India's religions are also laissez-faire. despite India's rampant socialism since being colonized by the Brits. In fact, I take monotheism as symptomatic of a bias towards central-planning and a territorial monopolist of security and law - any polytheistic religion is inherently more tolerant of letting others think what they like. "I believe in Lord Ganesh." "I believe in Durga." "Oh, well, that's fine, Ganesh is Durga's son." "Oh really? I didn't know that."
I'm not saying that theological dogma, including monotheism, is inherently anti-libertarian. There's something to be said for the correlation between the strength of cultural boundaries and the respect for property rights and I think this is what you see in Europe. It was a long, hard slog for the Church of Rome to sterilize Europe of its indigenous religions and impose Christianity as a pan-European religion ... and they never really succeeded, despite the fact they always talk up whatever success they did have to make it seem like "why, Europe has always been Christian, of course!" The cultures of Europe are notable for their affinity for strong property rights and I believe this fed into the strong localization of Europe. For centuries, the European elites have been trying to break this localization down but, despite all their apparent successes (e.g. the EU), they really have not yet succeeded in imposing their vision of a European monoculture. So, the fact that Europeans have always had a grumpy disposition towards foreign religious ideas may in fact be related to the strong respect for property rights that is an integral part of Europe's cultural DNA.
Clayton -
Hinduism is such an intricate and complex religion, on a whole I don't know where to begin. Though, if you come across some in their explanation it'll come off as polytheism, but behind it monotheism dressed as polytheism, as all the gods/goddesses are variants of Brahma, which is the supreme lord, or soul.
You're pretty right about Europe. It's only been Christian for about 1,000 years (which really isn't that long), and during that period Christianity had to form itself to the views, beliefs, attitudes, and culture of Europeans at the time (literature like Beowulf is probably more Heathen than it is Christian in attitude and views). A lot of practices were still carried on, but with a Christian veil (so to speak). The school system has done a pretty good job of keeping Europe Christian. I remember in my world history class we'd talk about all these cultures and empires, but oddly enough when discussing NW Europe it's coincidently during the age of conversion that we start off on, and you never hear a word about pre-Christian Europe (besides some Vikings, good propaganda, make it seem everyone in pre-Christian Europe was an outlaw, don't discuss culture, lore, and lines of kings and kingdoms). At the most we'd discuss the movements of various groups (Danes, Angles, Saxons, etc.), but like any school it's remembering what group was placed at this part of the map at this year in history, and nothing else.
Things like this lead me to have some bias towards Christianity
There is no clear answer, because most religions are over thousand years old and have created many variations and different emphasis through the years. Every religion has certain free market aspects, example Lutherans have hard work and savings, Catholics in Southern Europe respect their family more than the state, protestants of Switzerland belive wealth means place in heaven, etc. And those are just variations of christianity. Islam had much more free market-oriented version going on in middle ages, but times change. You can find support for the metal currencies even from the Bible, Islam is not the only religion which has been pro-gold centuries ago. But sound money is not the only branch of free market ideas.
So does satanism look down on fiat currency? b/c islam certainly does. Dude, you want to run about half naked in a tent, detest civilization, and "do everything yourself". What does it matter to you about currency or markets - or what is better for them to thrive? You are one step away from saying "square circle".
So what makes you think there'd be no means of exchange in a postciv world? MoE arise naturally and I would expect people to still value gold. That said I'd much rather praise a religion where free markets are championed than promote religions where there not.
The Mormons seem to be pretty free-market, pro-sound money, although you wouldn't know it by the two running for office on the federal level. But considering Utah is the only state in the Union to declared gold and silver coins legal tender, and willing to cock their snoot at the Fed, I think that places them somewhere in the running.
It depends on the particular interpretation in question of a given religion; there's more variation in free-market friendliness between different sects of Christianity than there is between Christianity and Islam in general, for instance. If one were to take the commandments as gospel, so to speak, then all Abrahamic religions are incredibly free market, simply by virtue of 'thou shalt not steal', and the existence of a State being reliant on theft. People who read socialism into Christianity generally lack a proper grasp of nuance; they're unable to understand that, whilst the Bible may advocate virtues of charity, giving to the poor, etc, it doesn't advocate the use of violence to take from the rich and give to the poor, and the difference between the former and the latter is the difference between charity and socialism. So whilst it might be correct to say the Bible supports a society where people give a large portion of their income to the poor and share the products of their labour (like voluntarism), it would not be correct to say the Bible advocates a society where such redistribution occurs non-voluntarily through violent wealth transfers. "There is no compulsion in religion", in the words of Mohammad; it may be 'bad' for somebody not to do something, but that doesn't justify the use of force to control their behaviour, as charity performed under duress is not charity at all. Islam does have a form of mandatory tax, the Zakāt, which might be considered incompatible with free market values, but then I think some interpretations view that tax as voluntary, and the scale of it can also vary widely, as there's no exact percentage set by the Koran (this site is a good reference for market-friendly interpretations of Islam: http://www.minaret.org/).
Esoteric (as opposed to exoteric) Taoism is explicitly free-market in a sense, in that there are passages literally stating 'the smaller the government, the better' and 'the less rules and regulation, the better', but it's also anticapitalist in other ways, discouraging competition and material progress (since if people were perfectly contented, they'd have no need or desire for material improvement). Equally, esoteric Buddhism is not supportive of violence, hence not conducive to a strong state, but also generally discourages material pursuits as leading ultimately to dissatisfaction, so is not compatible with the free market in that sense. Jainism is entirely pacifist, so anti-statist in that sense, but that also prohibits the use of violence for the defence of private property, so I'm not sure how that'd function (I guess technically a free market could exist without the recourse to violent defence of property, if everybody had complete respect for and belief in other people's property). Most religions are ultimately rather market friendly, I guess, as most religions discourage violence (at least amongst the in-group), and the state is an inherently violent entity. My personal opinion is that Objectivism is the most market friendly, since it's basically just free market capitalism turned into a religion, and Juche (the national religion of North Korea) is the least market friendly, for obvious reasons :)

I've found some great quotes from Mormon leaders regarding government education and Keynesian economics
President Benson from LDS Quotes on Government Schools... http://ldshomeschoolinginca.org/quotes.html "I feel to warn you that one of the chief means of misleading our youth and destroying the family unit is our educational institutions. There is more than one reason why the Church is advising our youth to attend colleges close to their homes where institutes of religion are available. It gives the parents the opportunity to stay close to their children, and if they become alerted and informed, these parents can help expose the deceptions of men like Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, John Dewey, John Keynes and others. There are much worse things today that can happen to a child than not getting a full education." (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 307.)
Brigham Young on taxation being theft..
I am opposed to free education as much as I am opposed to taking property from one man and giving it to another who knows not how to take care of it... I do not believe in allowing my charities to go through the hands of robbers who pocket nine-tenths themselves and give one tenth to the poor... Would I encourage free schools by taxation? No! (Journal of Discourses Vol. 18, p. 357)
That works. Fortunatly anyone who has grand theories of "ultimate" history narratives, or people who care about religion are being marginalized. Both subjects are jokes.
Epicureanism (though not a religion), it preaches a lot of libertarian ideas (respect for the individual).
Freedom has always been the only route to progress.
I hope that this is perfectly clear, gold has nothing inherently to do with libertarianism.
Lol Neodoxy, when did I mention gold?
I've considered the idea of a new spiritual organization based on Misesean ideas. One of the problems people face in digesting the concepts in economic theory and (sound) social science is that it is all so impersonal. Yet our brains are not wired to relate to each other impersonally (I think this is probably a good thing!) Hence, I think most people cannot access the truths of sound social science unless it is restated in more personalized language, that is, in the language of morality and spirituality (self-development).
Tradition is the dominant force in religions which are the usual vehicle of spiritual and moral instruction. This makes them very slow to respond to changing circumstances and new (sound) ideas. But tradition is a feature, not a bug. There are people who go around giving self-development seminars (for a speaking fee) and the customers of that industry might actually be a good target audience for this kind of "spiritualized" Misesean theory.
Don't confuse my use of the word "spiritual" to be about intangible beings. Rather, I'm using it more in the sense of that which can't be measured, that which lies solely within oneself and may as well be a "soul" because of its inherent unsuitability to the impersonal methods of science. Can integrity be studied by science? Maybe, but not by today's science. Is integrity not a crucial virtue which people of sufficient maturity realize they need to learn? This is what I mean by the spiritual: that which concerns "the whole person."
Take, for example, the division-of-labor. The spiritual side of the division-of-labor is learning to overcome one of two possible responses to it that both result from a character flaw or spiritual deficiency within oneself. On the one hand, there is the tendency towards introversion and self-sufficiency... rejection of the existing division-of-labor by attempting to satisfy all one's needs without exchanging with others. On the other hand, there is the tendency towards managing the division-of-labor by imposing unwanted organization or management onto others and forcing them to either exchange when they otherwise would not have (excessive division-of-labor) or forcing them not to exchange when they otherwise would have (insufficient division-of-labor). This is the opposite of the introverted response to the division-of-labor; it is the self-aggrandizing response to the division-of-labor.
The spiritually healthy response to the division-of-labor - that response which is consistent with good character and a healthy spiritual disposition - is to allow others to decide for themselves whether to trade or self-produce, while exchanging for things produced by others whenever it is advantageous in the satisfaction of one's own wants. That is, it is spiritually health to participate in the division-of-labor as a peer with respect for others and without imposing one's vision of what is the right amount of division-of-labor onto others.
I'm sure this approach could be extended to many other topics within Austrian theory and even further.
I've considered the idea of a new spiritual organization based on Misesean ideas.
Haha, I've thought that myself too. But limits of this strategy always make me to think is it worth of time it needs. Totally new spritiual movement could be started from the fresh, empty paper, but this will come with expense in the numbers of followes. That's why I'm leaning towards reforming current movements. Example with Catholic church many theologists started to follow Aristotelianistic lines of thought in middle ages, and created a reform in the Western culture. Rothbards 'nature of man' and self-ownership are good philosophical insights for religions - I think for every single one of them.
Catholics in Southern Europe respect their family more than the state
Southern Europe is also hecka socialist (Spain, Italy, Greece)
I've considered the idea of a new spiritual organization based on Misesean ideas
giving a new meaning to "Paulites" and the like, inciting the fears of leftists who think that free-market thinkers are people who offer gold coins at the altar of Rockefeller and Bill Gates. Injecting such ideas into religion and social teachings is certainly a good idea, but giving leftists another target, not so much.
Sorry I had a derp moment, I was responding to freedom4me and I responded to that, I saw you and it went from freedom ---> Liberty. Lol so sorry for that
@Wheylous: I don't really factor in the reactions of other political groups into such decisions. What really matters to me is whether other people would actually find it useful and instructive. Is there a spiritual void out there that could be filled, a bit like a business opportunity but regarding moral teaching in one's spiritual self-development? Is anyone out there really talking about stuff like this.
I've seen George Carlin come close but he was always up-front that he's an entertainer, not an instructor. I stumbled across this guy named David R. Hawkins on YouTube... he actually has some really good insights that aren't far from these kinds of ideas but then he goes off into wacky stuff about meditating in higher chakras and opening your third eye. I suspect there's a niche market out there of people who want a strong, logical foundation underneath their spiritual beliefs about how to go about living their lives - something a bit like praxeology. "If you want to achieve X in life, then you must do Y and you must avoid Z." (say, X is satisfaction, contentment).
The body of knowledge regarding virtue and self-development is already vast. People have spent a great deal of time thinking about these things and writing down their conclusions, some of them are total crap but many of them are actually quite useful. But what is often lacking is some kind of "guiding light" to bring it all together... what's the point of meditating? What are you trying to accomplish? Too much of what passes for spiritual teaching is just a lot of mumbo-jumbo muttered quickly enough to sound impressive and deep.
Uh-oh, Clayton is going Surok on us...
Clayton, that is a good idea that might indeed be a good business idea - a mentoring company composed of people who know how to achieve goals in life mentoring those who cannot do as much. Having a mentor really helps, as it helps to set goals and to focus efforts. I am really interested in how this could work out. A mentor company - teaching people how to succeed.
Indeed, it could prove the power of the individual - taking people in the middle of depression, lack of self-confidence, and turning them around and giving them bright careers.
Clayton: wacky stuff about meditating in higher chakras and opening your third eye.

I agree there is a lot of crap. But many times it is unintelligible given your pre-existing premises. If you are a metaphysical materialist you wont find chakras interesting. Perhaps you would change your mind upon learning that each chakra corresponds with a nerve ganglia or part of the brain. But I agree that meditation is largely counterintuitive for a materialist. Think of it as reformatting the human hard drive.
Perhaps I've phrased it too strongly. I place in the "crap bin" anything that does not conform to cause-and-effect. If I look at an LED clock display while eating cheerios, the segments of the LED do the most bizarre dance (try it, if you never have, it's a 'psychedelic' experience). I don't understand the cause-and-effect nor do I need to in order to experience the phenomenon. I just need to know what to do to trigger the phenomenon. Much of what passes for "rationalism" in Western philosophy is dismissing phenomena for which we have no cause-and-effect explanation. But this is an overreaction. It is folly and arrogance to dismiss phenomena for which you have not yet found a cause-and-effect explanation, much like the Catholic Church dismissing Galileo's results on gravity because they did not understand the cause-and-effect of it.
However, when a person starts saying things like "your chakras open a window on another world and when you enter that world you can do this and that and talk to the spirits of the deceased" and so on, I perceive a causal theory in the absence of phenomena, or a causal theory that assumes far more than is justified. If you take mushrooms and feel like you have a conversation with a long deceased guru, how do you know that it was a long-deceased guru you had a conversation with? Isn't it possible that you were just f-d up on the shrooms and it just felt like you were talking to some long deceased guru?? So wouldn't a more objective reporting of the phenomena be "when entering such-and-such mental state, you can experience the feeling that you are conversing with your long-dead ancestors"? And so on. I feel like the spiritualists often impart ontological reality to things that could just as well be explained by your brain's circuitry giving you the feeling that something is real.
A dream is the obvious case. When I dream, I sometimes feel like I'm really having a conversation with a particular person (someone who might never talk to me) or I'm really seeing some scene or drama unfold. But when I awake, I realize it was only "just a dream". What I perceived was not real in the same sense that my perceptions of the computer monitor in front of me now are real.
I'm not a dogmatic materialist... with Mises, I am actually a methodological dualist. We may as well speak of a soul since, for all practical intents and purposes, we have one. But, at the same time, I plead ignorance of what it even means for something to be "supernatural"... it's either real or it isn't, it's either part of your real experience or it's not. What it's "made of" and "how it works" are separate issues that need not be dealt with before differentiating between what is real (like computer monitors and souls) and what is not real (dreams, fiction).
Hopefully I'm making some sense.
I think what is missing in religion these days is philosophy, specifically philosophy of science. Theories like evolution or buddhism are only useful as far as they allow one to understand data and make predictions. The fact of the matter is that the theories of modern society are generally unfit for explaining modern society. This creates dissatisfaction, because people do not get the results that match their predictions.
As far as your assertion that dreams are not real, that does seem to tend towards dogmatic materialism. The fact of the matter is that some people report meaningful information from these experiences that, I hope we can agree, can be said to occur on an ontologically different level. Here I am referring to out of body experiences, remote viewing, dreams, visions, and the like. Experiences of this nature have been a part of human history for hundreds of millennia and the recent (enlightenment and later) efforts to reject such for practical materialism have, in a few hundred years, marginalized a large part of the human experience. Early man wasnt an atheist. One tribe may have believed in the god that showed them how to track rabbits and pick apricots. Another tribe may have believed in the god who showed them where to fish and how to open coconuts. But it was not until man gained the wealth and leisure time for a large population to lock themselves away in man-made boxes, eat man-processed foods, and spend hours looking at nothing but man-made objects and discussing trivial (relative to long term survival) things with other men, that we started to ask ourselves if "god" really existed. I submit that the cultural wisdom to bring about those experiences and interpret them meaningfully has been lost.
As far as your assertion that dreams are not real, that does seem to tend towards dogmatic materialism.
The dream itself is real... it is definitely a fact that I am dreaming. But how can what I am dreaming about be real? If I dream I'm standing on the edge of Niagara falls, looking over, how can that be real when I'm in fact lying in my bed, asleep? I can't be in two places at once.
second, the idea of a disembodied awareness visiting earthly realms may be controversial, but it is also hard to dismiss, given the evidence. The cia/army remote viewing program in the 80s being one example of evidence.
third, and I hesitate to mention this because I dont want you to think I am trolling, it is not strictly accurate to say, in a philosophic/scientific sense, "I can't be in two places at once." we can say that you (and I) are unaware of any credible evidence for the existence of bilocation. But that requires us to dismiss your dream experience a priori.
"I think Tibetan Buddhism is." - Clayton
Just the first result i got from Google (so you can read more). Maybe not so much anymore with china in control. But basically Tibet worked much like feudal Europe in its not so free ways.
Christianity, Buddhism, and a few others that are open to personal interpretation have the greatest ability to be be pro-FE. But, similarly they might be the direct opposite. Look for religions who's holy texts or directives are individual and specific in directing a Religion to accomplish worldly goals; find this you find unfriendly religions to FE.
Otherwise stated, if you avoid tyranny, you avoid control, and progress free enterprise.
Or that is my take on it. Which I feel is a logical one.

Perhaps stemming from my fondness of Tzeentch I am aware that, despite humans by nature rebel against it, change is quite often a good thing. You never know this "new" way of roleplaying in the grim and perilous warhammer world may end up being brilliant and be the harbringer of a roleplay revolution!
However, before I jump in head first I certainly would like the opportunity to "try before I buy". Obviously, events like GenCon are a great venue to do this, if you live in the States (and even then it may not be brilliant given the size of the country). But I, like many other players/GMs don't live in America, will FFG be presenting this at any other events, conventions and the like in Europe?
(Games Day UK is coming up next month, hint hint hint! Or are you not allowed more than one guy and one small table like last year?)

Courtesy Monterey MushroomsA worker checks mushrooms for Monterey Mushrooms. Growers have been experiencing challenges due to a heat wave in the Northeast as well as an increase in demand.Mushroom sales have been strong lately, and grower-shippers hope they'll stay that way despite a spate of hot weather in Pennsylvania.
"We're going through a heat wave here like crazy," Fred Recchiuti, general manager at Basciani Mushroom Farms, Avondale, Pa., said in mid-July.
Temperatures ranged from 90 degrees to 96 degrees every day from July 14 through July 20.
Without sufficient air conditioning, mushrooms face reduced yields and lower quality. In some cases they can be subjected to "thermal runaway," which can result in total crop loss, Recchiuti said.
"That's a precarious precipice you don't want to go over."
Basciani Mushroom Farms has the ability to add air conditioning capacity, he said, but that can dramatically increase the cost per pound.
It could be mid-August before the impact of the heat wave is felt through tighter supplies and possibly lower quality, he said.
Paul Frederic, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Avondale-based To-Jo Mushrooms, said the hot weather did not affect crops, but 95-degree days could have an impact on compost that is prepared outdoors.
"It makes everything a little bit more challenging," he said.
A heat wave is more likely to affect production than quality, he added.
Reduction in yields could result because high outdoor temperatures and dry conditions can affect the process to produce the substrate to be used in the coming weeks or months to grow mushrooms, said Laura Phelps, president of the American Mushroom Institute, Washington, D.C.
Demand continues to grow
Meanwhile, the demand for mushrooms is widely evident in the total shipment growth that reached record highs in 2012 and is off to an impressive first half in 2013, said Kathleen Preis, marketing coordinator for the Mushroom Council, San Jose, Calif.
Shipments have increased about 4% this year, she said.
"If this impressive progress continues throughout the year, the mushroom industry will realize the greatest annual shipment increment in history and per capita consumption would reach yet another all-time high," she said.
Summer mushroom sales have been strong, said Joe Caldwell, vice president at Watsonville, Calif.-based Monterey Mushrooms.
Rising costs and flat pricing have forced a couple more producers out of business, and the industry capacity hasn't grown enough to cover those losses plus the 25 million-pound growth in annual demand we've seen the past several years, he said.

If you saw the Swedish film version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, you couldn't help but notice that the female actors over 50 looked, well, over 50. Their youthful looks had faded, but they were beautiful adult women, with wrinkles, age spots and perhaps not the whitest teeth. They were real. And they represented something seldom seen in American filmmaking: women of a certain age looking like women of a certain age.
Jane Fonda is a beautiful woman and she talks freely about her cosmetic procedures. Earlier this month, Ms. Fonda was in Chicago for The Rosie Show. On her blog, she posted some photos of her and Rosie O'Donnell and I gotta tell you, Ms. Fonda looked more like Melanie Griffith or Kate Gosselin than her old self. Those lips, the blond hair, that wide (or is it wild?) -eyed look.
While it's understandable that those who earn their livelihood in front of the cameras would want to buy some time to look their best, there's another consideration in play. The enhancements too often result in a look similar to others who have had major 'work' at being nipped, tucked and sucked. After numerous procedures to ward off aging, these starlets begin to look alike, taking on eerily similar plastic faces, gravity defying breasts and topping it off with a golden, warm hair color I like to describe as "menopause orange."
And now, the latest cosmetic surgery statistics we received at Today's Chicago Woman indicate that men are going under the knife and are setting all-time records for elective surgery, from facelifts to fat injectables. I thought that there might be a pullback in elective procedures due to the ongoing recession, but clearly that's not the case. And the study showed that the majority of these procedures are being performed on women and men who aren't in a financial position to shell out big bucks to knock a decade off their looks.
Several years ago, an acquaintance took cosmetic surgery about as far as it could go, when she opted not just for a more youthful, rested look, but drastically changed her appearance with a much tighter face and neck, and a smaller, narrower nose. She got a full facelift, cheek and chin implants and a brow lift. She looked like an entirely different person. Her transformation had one acquaintance quip, "What's with Kathy*? Is she in witness protection?"
*Not her real name.

The leaders carry the people to Egypt. (1-7) Jeremiah foretells the conquest of Egypt. (8-13)
Verses 1-7 Only by pride comes contention, both with God and man. They preferred their own wisdom to the revealed will of God. Men deny the Scriptures to be the word of God, because they are resolved not to conform themselves to Scripture rules. When men will persist in sin, they charge the best actions to bad motives. These Jews deserted their own land, and threw themselves out of God's protection. It is the folly of men, that they often ruin themselves by wrong endeavours to mend their situation.
Verses 8-13 God can find his people wherever they are. The Spirit of prophecy was not confined to the land of Israel. It is foretold that Nebuchadnezzar should destroy and carry into captivity many of the Egyptians. Thus God makes one wicked man, or wicked nation, a scourge and plague to another. He will punish those who deceive his professing people, or tempt them to rebellion.
Jeremiah 43:1-13 . THE JEWS CARRY JEREMIAH AND BARUCH INTO EGYPT. JEREMIAH FORETELLS BY A TYPE THE CONQUEST OF EGYPT BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR, AND THE FATE OF THE FUGITIVES.
2. Azariah--the author of the project of going into Egypt; a very different man from the Azariah in Babylon ( Daniel 1:7 , 3:12-18 ).
proud--Pride is the parent of disobedience and contempt of God.
3. Baruch--He being the younger spake out the revelations which he received from Jeremiah more vehemently. From this cause, and from their knowing that he was in favor with the Chaldeans, arose their suspicion of him. Their perverse fickleness was astonishing. In the forty-second chapter they acknowledged the trustworthiness of Jeremiah, of which they had for so long so many proofs; yet here they accuse him of a lie. The mind of the unregenerate man is full of deceits.
5. remnant . . . returned from all nations--( Jeremiah 40:11 Jeremiah 40:12 ).
6. the king's daughters--Zedekiah's ( Jeremiah 41:10 ).
branch of the Nile, near Pelusium. They naturally came to it first, being on the frontier of Egypt, towards Palestine.9. stones--to be laid as the foundation beneath Nebuchadnezzar's throne ( Jeremiah 43:10 ).
brick-kiln--Bricks in that hot country are generally dried in the sun, not burned. The palace of Pharaoh was being built or repaired at this time; hence arose the mortar and brick-kiln at the entry. Of the same materials as that of which Pharaoh's house was built, the substructure of Nebuchadnezzar's throne should be constructed. By a visible symbol implying that the throne of the latter shall be raised on the downfall of the former. Egypt at that time contended with Babylon for the empire of the East.
10. my servant--God often makes one wicked man or nation a scourge to another ( Ezekiel 29:18 Ezekiel 29:19 Ezekiel 29:20 ).
royal pavilion--the rich tapestry (literally, "ornament") which hung round the throne from above.
11. such as are for death to death--that is, the deadly plague. Some he shall cause to die by the plague arising from insufficient or bad food; others, by the sword; others he shall lead captive, according as
12. houses of . . . gods--He shall not spare even the temple, such will be His fury. A reproof to the Jews that they betook themselves to Egypt, a land whose own safety depended on helpless idols.
burn . . . carry . . . captives--burn the Egyptian idols of wood, carry to Babylon those of gold and other metals.
array himself with the land, &c.-- Isaiah 49:18 has the same metaphor.
as a shepherd, &c.--He shall become master of Egypt as speedily and easily as a shepherd, about to pass on with his flock to another place, puts on his garment.
13. images--statues or obelisks.
Beth-shemesh--that is, "the house of the sun," in Hebrew; called by the Greeks "Heliopolis"; by the Egyptians, "On" ( Genesis 41:45 ); east of the Nile, and a few miles north of Memphis. Ephraim Syrus says, the statue rose to the height of sixty cubits; the base was ten cubits. Above there was a miter of a thousand pounds weight. Hieroglyphics are traced around the only obelisk remaining in the present day, sixty or seventy feet high. On the fifth year after the overthrow of Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar, leaving the siege of Tyre, undertook his expedition to Egypt [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 10.9,7]. The Egyptians, according to the Arabs, have a tradition that their land was devastated by Nebuchadnezzar in consequence of their king having received the Jews under his protection, and that it lay desolate forty years. But Ezekiel 29:13 .
shall he burn--Here the act is attributed to Nebuchadnezzar, the instrument, which in Jeremiah 43:12 is attributed to God. If even the temples be not spared, much less private houses.

Another key area of concern is the potential impact on export markets. Exports are extremely valuable for our industry. Approximately 29 percent of the U.S. fresh apple volume is sold overseas each year. In 2011, exports accounted for 36 percent of the value of $2.7 billion farm-gate production total for apples. More than $1 out of every $3 in apple revenue is derived from exports.
For the reasons stated above, USApple requests that the USDA Animal and Plant Inspection Service (APHIS) deny the petition for nonregulated status for genetically modified apples referenced in Petition 10-161-01p.
Sincerely yours,
Nancy E. Foster
President and CEO
TK: Bottom line, the apple industry simply isn't ready for this GMO non-browning apple variety. From a marketing and PR perspective, the majority of grower-shippers and marketers feel they must oppose the Arctic, despite the fact that "application of biotechnology may yield valuable attributes in the future."
The marketing costs versus benefits equation is a nuanced approach to the question of Arctic apple approval by the USDA. Like the many emotional comments of consumers, the industry's more sober opinion may not still deliver enough science to speak to the outcome of the agency's deliberation.

Switched at Birth, a one-hour scripted drama, tells the story of two teenage girls who discover they were accidentally switched as newborns in the hospital. Bay Kennish grew up in a wealthy family with two parents and a brother, while Daphne Vasquez, who lost her hearing at an early age due to a case of meningitis, grew up with a single mother in a working-class neighborhood. Things come to a dramatic head when both families meet and struggle to learn how to live together for the sake of the girls.
Switched at Birth stars newcomer Katie Leclerc as Daphne Vasquez; Vanessa Marano (Gilmore Girls) as Bay Kennish; Constance Marie (George Lopez) as Regina Vasquez; D.W. Moffett (Friday Night Lights) as John Kennish; Lea Thompson (Back to the Future, Caroline in the City) as Kathryn Kennish; and Lucas Grabeel (High School Musical) as Toby Kennish.
Lizzy Weiss (Blue Crush), Paul Stupin (Make It or Break It) and John Ziffren (Melissa & Joey, Make It or Break It) serve as executive producers.
Rosewood is a perfect little town. So quiet and pristine, you'd never guess it holds so many secrets. Some of the ugliest ones belong to the prettiest girls in town -- Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily, four estranged friends whose darkest secrets are about to unravel.
One year ago, Alison, the Queen Bee of their group, disappeared and the girls swore they'd never tell what really happened that night. They thought their secrets would bond them together, but just the opposite is true. Then again, who's to say what the truth is in Rosewood. It seems everyone in town is lying about something.
Now, as the mystery surrounding Alison's disappearance resurfaces, the girls begin getting messages from "A," saying – and threatening – things only Alison would know. But it couldn't be Alison. Could it? Whoever it is, they seem to know all the girls' secrets, and seem to be watching their every move. The girls are friends again, but will they be there for each other if their dark secrets come to light?
In the one-hour scripted drama The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Chloe King is looking forward to celebrating her birthday with her friends and single mother, just like every other year…that is until she starts developing heightened abilities and discovers she's being pursued by a mysterious figure. Chloe soon learns she's part of an ancient race which has been hunted by human assassins for millennia —and that she may be their only hope for ultimate survival. The Nine Lives of Chloe King will be executive produced by Dan Berendsen (Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hannah Montana: The Movie) and John Ziffren (Melissa & Joey, Make It or Break It) with Alloy Entertainment's Leslie Morgenstein (Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries) and Gina Girolamo. The drama is based on the book series The Nine Lives of Chloe King by Liz Braswell. The series will star Skyler Samuels (The Gates) as Chloe King; Amy Pietz (The Office, Caroline in the City) as Meredith King; Grey Damon (True Blood, Friday Night Lights) as Brian; newcomer Grace Phipps as Amy; Benjamin Stone (10 Things I Hate About You) as Alek; Alyssa Diaz (Southland) as Jasmine; and Ki Hong Lee (The Secret Life as the American Teenager) as Paul.

It's the summer of 1863, more than two years into our nation's devastating Civil War, and the stakes have never been higher. The Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, led by Robert E. Lee, crosses into Pennsylvania. Trailed by the Union's Army of the Potomac, Lee's 75,000-strong army heads toward Harrisburg, but the forces meet instead near Gettysburg, a quiet farm town that would become synonymous with the epic battle that all but decided the outcome of the American Civil War. For three long days, the two sides clashed in one of the war's bloodiest engagements to decide the ultimate question: Would the United States of America survive?
Executive produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, GETTYSBURG strips away the romanticized veneer of the Civil War to present the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in a new light--a visceral, terrifying and deeply personal experience, fought by men who put everything on the line in defense of their vision of the American future. Cinematic in scope, GETTYSBURG is an information-packed look at the turning points, strategic decisions, technology and little-known facts surrounding the battle. Developed in collaboration with highly esteemed Civil War historians, GETTYSBURG reflects hundreds of individual accounts of the battle--the unique voices of struggle, defeat and triumph that tell the larger story of a bitterly conflicted nation.

Star Wars Force FX Removable Blade Lightsabers
The most perfect lightsaber toy ever.

- Authentic lightsabers licensed by LucasFilm.
The most perfect lightsaber toy ever.
From the first time you saw the flash of light and that hum, way back in 1977, in Obi-Wan Kenobi's bungalow, you knew you wanted one. At first, you weren't quite sure what they were, but they were powerful and wonderful. And even now, after over 30 years, you still want one. The time has come, friends, to join the ranks of the Jedi (or Sith). Time to arm yourself with one of the most beloved weapons of all time: the Star Wars Force FX Lightsaber!
The "Force FX" part means these sabers are packed with bajillions of technologies from a galaxy far, far away - giving them movie accurate lights and sounds. And the "Removable Blade" part means, well, the blade is removable. You can take it off and wear the hilt on your hip, then pop the blade in (securely with an integrated and hidden screw) and fight your way out of any situation.
But wait, there's more. The blades light from the bottom up (with sound, of course) and fade from the top down (again, with sound). And as you wait to strike, you hear that hum you've come to know and love. Each swing will trigger its own sound effect and each crash of saber on saber (or any other object) will also deliver an explosion of sound. Star Wars Force FX Removable Blade Lightsabers are truly weapons from a more civilized time.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 11/30/2009
Spiffed Exterior
All Lexus LS models - standard, long wheelbase, AWD, and the 600hL hybrid - benefit from a modest facelift in their fourth (third in the case of the hybrid), model year. The alterations list includes bumper fascias, all lamps, the grille, color palette, and wheels.
The Sport model gets its own dark, more aggressively textured grille, nifty 20-spoke 19-inch wheels, and a 360 degree body kit that lowers the car's visual center of gravity. Thankfully designers have resisted the urge to soil the exterior with sport badging and a rear spoiler.
The split-spoke forged aluminum wheels shod with summer 45-series radials are a convincing touch, especially with hairy Brembo brake calipers peeking through the front wheel spokes.
More Interesting Interior
All 460s benefit from new active front seat headrests, updated metal accents for the center stack, redesigned audio controls and display, and cashmere instead of parchment toned leather. In addition, an ECO lamp has been added to the instrument cluster to encourage light-footed driving.
The Sport edition has its own black and dark brown perforated leather upholstery with stitching in a contrasting color. A nice touch is seeing the brown tone through the perforations in the black skin. The steering wheel is leather trimmed and the front buckets are purposely bolstered with substantial side surfaces in support of this car's performance mission. The dark ash burl wood paneling has a tasteful matte finish. Paddle shifters attached to the wheel provide full manual authority over the 8-speed automatic's gear changes. Transplanted directly from the racy Lexus IS-F, this transmission is programmed for frequent heavy throttle use.
A Perpetually Growing Goodie List
In the upper luxury class, engineers strive to stay one step ahead of competitors with new and often useless gadgets. The Lexus LS family has all electronic safety systems gathered under one Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management system to allow the car to maneuver through the nooks and crannies of traction and stability. Eight air bags are standard and rear-seat side bags are optional to up the count to ten for the chicken little crowd. The front HID headlamps steer into turns. A parking guidance system automatically handles the exasperating (for some) parallel parking chore.
For 2010 there's a new slide-away driver's seat, a larger LCD center stack display screen, voice command added to the optional navigation system, plus Bluetooth and USB connectivity. There are steering wheel controls to page through iPod entertainment folders and an auxiliary jack in the center console. Other new standard features for the L edition are automatically dimming headlamps, XM satellite reception, climate-controlled front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a power rear sunshade, automatic trunk opening and closing, and power door closers. Most of this gear is optional on the lesser editions. The array of option packages includes: Comfort, Comfort Plus, Luxury, Rear Upgrade, Executive Class (including a right rear seat massage function), and a 19-speaker, 450 watt Mark Levinson surround sound system.
A new Enform telematics system contains typical OnStar capabilities such as online or live routing assistance, stolen vehicle recovery aid, automatic collision notification, emergency assistance, and ordinary roadside assistance. Stepping up to the optional navigation system is a prerequisite. Various XM services, such as weather, traffic, and sports data, are included.
Passably Potent Powertrain
The 380-hp 4.6-liter V-8 engine introduced four years ago for the LS family carries over with no significant changes for this Sport expansion. Notable features are both direct and port fuel injection, intake and exhaust variable valve timing, a towering 11.8:1 compression ratio, and a dual mode air-induction system. In contrast to some German competitors, this engine is efficient enough to avoid the gas guzzler stigma, delivering 16 mpg in EPA city driving and 24 mpg on the highway. (The AWD edition, not available with the Sport package, sacrifices one mpg on the highway.)
The AA80E Sports Direct Shift Control automatic transmission transplanted directly from the Lexus IS-F is the hand the rubs the powertrain genie. Locked and loaded in the lower gears, the previously subdued V-8 howls assertively while hustling to its 6600 rpm redline. The transmission is smart enough to delay gear changes until the driver clicks the right paddle for the next higher ratio. When the left paddle is actuated to drop a gear, the electronic throttle is automatically blipped to astutely coordinate the shift.
Click the shifter and leg the throttle with gusto and the LS 460 Sport hustles to sixty mph in 5.4 seconds on its way to a 130 mph top speed (factory figures).
Stiffer Suspenders
Without drastically changing the LS multilink underpinnings, Lexus engineers firmed up the air springs, anti-roll bars, and dampers to give the Sport model a more confident step. Roll, pitch, and wallow have left the building. During an abrupt lane change, the nose and tail move together with no out-of-phase whip at the rear. The summer-rated 245-width radials hang on for dear life when the handling action intensifies. The opposed piston Brembo front brakes provide ample stopping power reserve for all the momentum this 4350-pound sedan can muster.
Satisfying Step in the Speed Direction
Even though there is no extra power to indulge, the LS 460 Sport makes the best of what it's got. A previously geriatric sedan is finally alive with youthful vigor and enthusiasm for twisty roads. Those who experience euphoria for extended periods should consult their therapist to make sure that their libidos can handle such stimulation. Common side effects are wider eyes, a burning desire to take the long way home, and recurrent wallet pain related to speeding citations.
Lexus has revealed an inner self we never knew existed. The LS platform has the moxie to handle much more power, speed, and throttle pressure. This toe dipped in sport sedan water needs to be followed by dive into the deep end of the shark infested pool. Our crystal ball clearly shows a LS-F 500 flagship sedan powered by a tuned-up 5.0-liter V-8 borrowed from the 600hL. A six-month massage by the motorsports department would do nicely for this future model. A sub-$100,000 price tag would make this addition to the Lexus family the perfect playmate for the coming LF-A super car.
2010 Lexus LS 460 Sport
Base Price: $65,555 Base 460 Sport: $71,755 As-Tested: $74,000 (estimated)

You are here: Home » Scales and Monitors » Pedometers »
Walking for weight loss is the easiest, cheapest, lowest impact form of exercise to incorporate into everyday life. All the family can join in too, young and old, to either assist with your weight loss or increase overall health and fitness.
Experts suggest that increasing 'background activity' such as walking is crucial to losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight or increasing overall health and fitness levels. Walking to places where you would normally take the car is a practical way to increase your activity and the number of calories burned during an average day - without having to make special plans to go to a gym or an exercise class.
If you use a Step Counter (Pedometer) it can measure how much background activity you currently undertake. The step counter can also be used to set goals and measure calories burned, all of which will help support your weight loss goals.
Low-impact aerobic exercise such as walking is ideal for people who wish to lose weight. It replaces jogging and jumping with an activity that places less stress on the joints. As long as you exercise at your target heart rate (see below) you will get all the health benefits of aerobic activity, maximising your weight loss whilst decreasing the possibility of injury.
Walking is aerobic, which means it improves your cardiovascular fitness and maximises your weight loss. Recent studies undertaken by the US Dept of Health also suggest that Walkers LIVE longer!
Studies on walking for weight loss and general health, from the British Heart Foundation show:
Improvements in your overall fitness and increases in energy levels
Improvements in circulation and in building stamina
That walking can add to the recommended activity target of taking 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week or taking 10,000 steps per day
Walking can also…
Help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke
Help lower blood pressure
Reduce high cholesterol
Aid weight loss, reduce body fat and help maintain a healthy weight
Reduce stress and create a feeling of well being
Increase bone density - helping to prevent osteoporosis
Minimise the risk of non insulin dependant diabetes
Using a step counter such as the Omron HJ-109 Pedometer helps by:
Revealing how active you really are
Providing measurable means to reach your weight loss or exercise goals
Measuring your 'background' activity which is how active you are in your day to day life
So how much and how fast should you walk to maximise weight loss and improve your fitness?
According to the Ramblers Association a simple way to work out how fast you should walk is to try to 'walk fast without overexertion'. Basically you should be able to hold a conversation whilst you are walking – the 'talk test'.
The Ramblers Association say 'Brisk is best - walk fast without overexertion'
If you want to get really scientific you could train within the correct heart rate 'zone' according to your age, giving you the most effective aerobic workout. As an example a 35 year old should aim to keep their heart rate at approximately 83 beats per minute during their walk
Using a Heart Rate Monitor can help you maximise your weight loss.
A Heart Rate Monitor uses weight and age to calculate your correct training zone automatically. It will show you exactly how many calories you have burned per session, just what you need to get the calories in versus calories out balance just right.
It's simple maths really, maintaining a healthy weight is a question of getting the right balance of calories in versus calories out, burn more than you eat and, hey presto! you will lose weight.
You can eat more calories if you are more active so if you use walking to lose weight as part of a calorie-controlled diet it will speed up your weight loss. So in order to lose weight through walking - combine this extra activity with healthy eating and you have a close to perfect balance!
How many calories you burn through walking is dependant on how much you weigh and how far you walk. As a rule of thumb if you walk briskly for 30 mins you can burn up to 320 calories.
If you are trying to lose weight then doing this just 3 times a week could help reduce your weight by over a pound a month. Combine your exercise regime with a sensible, but reduced calorie intake and you will lose more fat - studies have shown that regular walking alters how we metabolise fat and this is burned instead of sugars.
Walk briskly and within the 'talk test' zone, swinging your arms in a controlled way
Measure the distance walked, steps taken and duration using a pedometer/step counter
Keep your heart rate within its target zone
Use walking poles like the poles used in Nordic Walking
Carry a backpack or extra weight, watch your posture though and remember it will put extra strain on the hips
Learn how to race walk – if you walk at speed which means you can walk a mile in under 13 minutes you are using and building more muscle groups and maximising the number of calories burned
Walk with a friend – it's easy to persuade yourself not to go out especially when it's cold and rainy. Making arrangements to walk with a walking partner will help you stay committed to your goals
Power Walking – this is an excellent aerobic activity which increases your heart rate and is low impact, accessible to all, make sure you have some decent trainers and easy to learn good techniques to get the most out of your exercise. Advice from WalktheWalk.org includes, making sure that you have good, well fitting trainers which support your foot, particularly around the heel and investing in a good step counter/pedometer. Aim to walk 2 or 3 times a week. There is some excellent advice and some beginner's guides on their web site.
