It's a new day, it's a new age. People have woken up to the fact that consumerism is not their friend. Every item that is purchased potentially funds a maniac police officer's murderous rampage. The people successfully boycotted Black Friday. They have boycotted the malls. Now there is a major push to #BOYCOTTCHRISTMAS and all consumer driven "holidays" that do nothing but exploit and disenpower the people. #2RAW4TV supports the boycott and the #movement to #liberate the people from the tyranny of #capitalism. In celebration of the courage, power, and potential of the people 2RAW4TV is throwing a listening #party featuring your favorite artist and #Jesus
DJ WHYTE JESUS (@DJWHYTEJESUS on twitter) is one of the most controversial and prolific djs of our time. We ask him how he got started, is he wishing for a #whyte #Christmas, and what's next for the world's most talked about DJ. We will also really get to the bottom of both the truth and lies behind the world's most #expensive holiday 2RAW4TV PRESENTS BOYCOTT CHRISTMAS LISTENING PARTY #Xmas day 12-25-14 @ 11PM EST blogtalkradio.com/2RAW4TV CALL 3234100036 TO COMMENT, QUESTION, OR #PARTY LIVE WITH US...

Keeping on with the Christmas Spirit
in Motivation
Christmas is here.
It's mainly a happy time for us all irrespective of Religious backgrounds. Shopping Malls and Supermarkets are buzzing with people either buying girts for friends, family members, colleagues or fellow church members – and there's a general sense of joy and happiness in the air. That's the best bit about this season. But why can't this jolly atmosphere last all year long? We can't expect to go shopping all year round – however; we can at least keep the high spirit going for longer I guess. How can we do this though? How do we remain happier all year round despite the worries in our lives? Lets discuss this in just 30 minutes on the Ayodele Show.
Before I forget – Merry Christmas.
He Is Up To Something Wonderful
in Business
It is the last Saturday before Christmas 2014 and people are scurrying about in the malls trying to find just the perfect gift. Well, God gave us the Perfect Gift, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Now we have an opportunity to learn and grow into the person He wants us to be as we walk through life. Life does not always make sense for us just as it did not for the Children of Israel when there was a 400 year period of God's silence even though they were promised a Messiah.
So what is God up to in those periods of silence,suffering or challenge?
He is up to something Wonderful, that's what! Listen and learn how....
I was just thinking...Money! Wealth, Riches and Prosperity.
in Education
The differences between riches, wealth, and prosperity.
Black Friday came and went I the midst of protests from the injustices perpetuated on black people in general and black men in particular. Protests were held at Malls and department stores and there was an attempt to protest the Thanksgiving Day parade…and believe it or not it worked! The projected profits from black Friday fell 11% and sent the stock markets reeling. Most of it was black dollars the buying power that has been underestimated in the system [and you know when I say the system it is the system of white supremacy and its economic component] and misunderstood by our community.
"In 2014, $50.9 billion was spent during the 4-day Black Friday weekend, down 11% from last year. While approximately 133 million U.S. consumers shopped during the same period, down 5.2% from last year's 141 million."
I have to see numbers on paper to understand the power we have as black consumers because we have been told so many times that our black dollars are useless.
But the Nielsen and the National Newspaper Publishers Association writes this:
"Black buying power continues to increase. It is currently $1 trillion, but is forecast to increase up to $1.3 trillion by 2017. Population growth and increased educational attainment are key factors in the uptick in Black consumer power according to the "Resilient, Receptive and Relevant African-American Consumer 2013 Report."
Lasana K. Mack, founder and executive director of APPEAL, Inc., based in Washington, D.C.
"We should begin to spend a substantial portion of those dollars with Black-owned businesses; we should be depositing substantial amounts of those dollars in Black-owned banks."
Hanukkah ... in the Gospels?!
in Spirituality
Live Internet Talk-Radio at www.scripturesdramatized.com
Thursday Dec. 4th, 9:30 EST
Our topic: "Hanukkah ... in the Gospels?"
So what's your verdict? Is it just a happy accident that Christmas is always on December 25th, and Hanukkah is always on the 25th day of the Jewish month Kislev? Or why is it that the only biblical mention of Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday, is in the Christian Bible: Gospel of John 10:22? Or why is it that that most popular Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" was written by a Jewish believer in Jesus, Felix Mendelssohn, grandson of the famous Rabbi Moses Mendelssohn. Why did Felix become Christian? Cultural pressure? Economic advantage? Or was it something else? Tonight, let's talk about it. Your host, Rev. Rick Anderson on "Jewish Roots" each Thursday 9:30 pm, EST, live internet radio. To call with a question or comment: 347-324-5759.

I like the occasional nip of a fine barrel-aged Kentucky bourbon. I take it neat because I enjoy its aroma as much or perhaps even more than its taste. I'm fine with just a little of the spirit as I don't enjoy the aftereffects.
What's not so bad for me personally (just a tad of alcohol) is also not so bad for our "experienced" small-engine equipment, either. But obviously, more than a little is bad for me (in fact bad for anybody), and it's also harmful for the many small gasoline-powered units that we rely upon to provide our landscape and snow management services.
These older small engines that we rely upon cannot withstand the effects of too much alcohol in the fuel. Over time the alcohol will cause their plastics and rubber components, such as hoses, to crack and fail. And yes, we're talking about ethanol (ethyl alcohol), the same stuff that, if abused, will give you a terrific headache the following morning.
Even so, the government seems intent on ramming ethanol into our motor fuels and down our throats regardless of whether it's beneficial for the majority of us or not. (By the way, ethanol has a lower energy content than gasoline. For example, flex-fuel vehicles operating on 85 percent ethanol, (E85), experience a 25 to 30 percent drop in miles per gallon.)
In 2007, Congress enacted the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), which directed refiners to significantly increase the amount of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply. That action seemed reasonable at the time given rising gasoline prices and people driving more. That hasn't happened. No matter. It appears that motor fuel blended with ethanol, including fuels containing E85, is here to stay.
When Congress passes a law to benefit one group of constituents, in this case bio-fuel refiners and the corn growers that provide feed stock for ethanol production, the law invariably harms another group of constituents. Political considerations trump sound economic policy. Imagine that.
As originally conceived, the RFS called for the country to blend 36 billion gallons of ethanol into motor fuel by 2022. Thankfully, that process might be slowed, at least in the short term. The U.S. EPA is calling for reductions in ethanol production from 2014's originally mandated 18.15 billion gallons to a new target of 15 billion gallons. That's welcome news and a small step in the right direction.
Nevertheless, the high levels of ethanol at our nation's gas pumps constitute a real and present danger to tens of millions of our small gas-powered units.
Manufacturers tell us that our outdoor power equipment will work fine with gasoline containing 10 percent ethanol (E10). However, we'll probably be seeing more gas containing higher blends of ethanol for sale, such as E15 or E85. These blends may even be cheaper at the pump than the gasoline that we're used to buying.
Don't risk putting E15 (or higher) fuel into your older equipment. These fuels are not meant for and can damage small engines such as mowers, garden tractors, chain saws, snow throwers, trimmers, generators, power washers, blowers and more.
Pay attention to what you are pumping into your gear when you pull up to a gas pump. Using any fuel that contains more than 10 percent ethanol is harmful and illegal to use in outdoor power equipment.
To that point, a small group of the leaders of Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) kicked off the recent GIE+ EXPO with the launch of "Look Before You Pump," an ambitious national ethanol education and consumer protection campaign.
Three OPEI leaders - Kris Kiser, president and CEO of OPEI; Todd Teske, president and CEO of Briggs & Stratton Corporation; and Fred Whyte, president of STIHL, Inc. - all strongly cautioned equipment dealers and small-engine end users to pay attention to the fuel that they are putting into their equipment's gas tanks.
Pay attention to what they say. They know small engines and are committed to making sure you are satisfied for their performance.

Pedro Hernandez, in custody since last night, confessed to strangling 6-year-old Etan Patz, who went missing in 1979.
Pedro Hernandez has confessed to strangling Etan Patz, the boy who went missing in 1979, according to The New York Times.
A law enforcement official said 67-year-old Hernandez claimed he strangled the then six-year-old boy, wrapped his body and put it in a box, according to The Times.
Hernandez said he left the box at a location in Manhattan, but it was gone when he went back a few days later.
His confession was videotaped, and investigators are now preparing to interview his relatives to see if he confessed to them about the crime.
The man was taken into custody over the disappearance of Etan last night, according to NBC 4 New York.
"An individual now in custody has made statements to NYPD detectives implicating himself in the disappearance and death of Etan Patz 33 years ago," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement this morning, cited by the New York Daily News.
More from GlobalPost: Search for Etan Patz ends after lead turns cold
According to NBC's sources, the man was already known to investigators. He reportedly lived and worked in Etan's neighborhood when the boy disappeared.
Etan was last seen walking on his own to his school bus stop in SoHo, Manhattan, on May 25, 1979, the Associated Press said.
Hernandez said he lured Etan with candy, according to the Daily News.
Despite a huge search operation and intense media attention, the boy was never found. He was declared legally dead in 2001.
No one has ever been charged with his disappearance – although, in 2004, his family successfully sued to have the boyfriend of Etan's babysitter, Jose Ramos, declared responsible for his death, the Daily News said. Ramos is currently in prison for a separate charge of pedophilia, but has never been criminally charged with Etan's murder.
Interest in the case was revived earlier this year when police searched a basement in the area, but no fresh evidence was found.

As Hugh Thomas points out in his introduction to The Secular Clergy in England, the secular clergy of medieval England are an unjustly neglected group.
It has become a commonplace to assert that biographies are unfashionable these days. I'm not sure that's entirely true, even for English history (female subjects certainly buck the trend), but there is no doubt that they are still the staple of Scottish history, particularly when it comes to the middle ages.
In a time of prolific and revolutionary authors Hugh of Saint Victor lit up the 12th century with a particularly unique voice, combining an intense passion for teaching with a pragmatic and systematic mind. Out of his large body of work his Mystic Ark has always provided more questions than answers.
As Ferngren explains in the opening pages: 'My purpose in this volume is to provide a concise but comprehensive survey that traces the history of the intersection of medicine and healing with religious traditions in the Western world from the earliest civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt to our own era'; a sizeable task to say the least.
In the recent years, queenship has interested and fascinated numerous scholars.(1) While some queens, notably British and French ones, have already received interest from historians, this study is keen on shedding light on the female rulers of the Mediterranean.
Penelope Buckley's recent monograph, The Alexiad of Anna Komnene sets out to present the first thorough literary study of Anna Komnene's renowned 12th-century history. As a literature specialist first and foremost, whose background is in English drama and poetry (p. 290), in many ways Buckley succeeds in her brief.
The volume's stated aim is to investigate the influence of Christian theology and religious beliefs on Anglo-Saxon society. In doing so Foxhall Forbes endeavours to show the wider population's engagement with Christian theology, which has usually been regarded as the preserve of the educated elite.
Before opening this collection of 11 articles originally published elsewhere, attentive readers may have noticed the absence of a categorisation usually employed in studies on the Eastern Mediterranean between the 11th century and the 14th century.
No exhibition can guarantee a museum a popular success, but the Vikings must surely offer a pretty good shot at it. Where often it is a challenge to establish the identity of an historical culture or phenomenon for a potential audience, absolutely no such problem exists for the Vikings, for everyone – even those who know nothing about history – knows about the Vikings.
Alain Boureau must be counted among the most important and influential people studying scholasticism.

Shoulder Pads! as seen on Gossip Girl | FASHION TRENDS / ENTERTAINMENT
(Alice + Olivia Keyhole Shoulder Pad Dress on Gossip Girl, 'The Last Days of Disco Stick')
Since the start of the series, Gossip Girl has been a big fashion influencer, introducing (or at least early adopters of) new fashion trends, and has even been the primary source of inspiration for some designer lines like Anna Sui's Gossip Girl Inspired line for Target.
Bows, ruffled plaids and headbands have already made their way from the show to the mainstream (there was even a snarky claim in the last episode that Blair's signature headband was totally 'over'). So what's next, you ask? Well, shoulder pads are the newest recruit to the wardrobe of the always fashionable Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively). Monday night, Serena sported a the 'Alice + Olivia Keyhole Shoulder Pad Dress', adding inches of height and width to her shoulders.
Now, we know Gossip Girl alone didn't bring back the padded shoulder look. As we've been dancing through a series of '80s/'90s retro fashion redos, it was only a matter of time before the classic top heavy look would make it's way to the runways of the today. Trendy, fast-fashion brands like Top Shop and Forever 21 are now carrying their own looks incorporating bigger shoulders, while the big name fashion houses are sending models down the runway sporting their own high-end bulky-shoulder styles for 2010 (Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, Balmain, Comme des Garçons).
(Comme des Garçons Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear collection features more extreme versions of the shoulder pad trend)
As with so many fashion reincarnations from decades past, we're sure this look will eventually make it's way into the mainstream before it's inevitable demise. In the meantime, bulk it up!Related links:

More Info...This did not suit my skin. It made my skin dry rather than hydrated or moisturized. It is quite highly perfumed although it is pleasant. Looking at the ingredients, it contains three alcohols; cetearyl (which I am usually fine with), benzyl and behenyl. I've read alcohol is drying so this may be why. In future I'll stick to non-alcohol formulations for my sensitive skin.
Was impressed with Nuxe body products, so decided to give this a go. Have only used it for a few days, but I like the texture and my skin feels hydrated.
Évaluation du service : Envoi rapide et produits bien emballes.
Produit : Texture agreable qui ne colle pas.
Absorbs well and wonderful smell.
Really liked the service. Would like some samples maybe next time :)
I've tried a lot of moisturisers, from budget to luxury brands, and this is out and out the best. Perfect for my reaction-prone, sensitive but very thirsty skin, this rich cream absorbs instantly, leaving not a trace of grease, while the rather heavy scent vanishes fast. Feelings of aggravation and tightness are completely eliminated, and surprisingly, I've discovered it makes an ideal base for make-up. I'm buying this again!
except for the delivery, I have ordered this product before and had it delivered with no issues! This time I got 4 emails saying it had been delivered when it hadn't which obviously led me to believe it had gotten lost.... the email thing is new, I recommend you forget it because all it did was cause confusion!!
Excellent communication. Sent very quickly.
Nice nourishing moisturiser, good for my dry skin.
Amazing. Very scented tho.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
He feasts on humans, but Dracula sympathetic compared to oil-industry execs in new series
Here's the best possible news about NBC's prime-time revival of literature's most enduring and oft-adapted vampire tale:
It doesn't suck.
Instead, Dracula, a limited-run (10-episode) series that premières Oct. 25 at 9 p.m. on NBC and Global, reworks the timeless saga of the blood-lusting count with a sense of style and period-piece elegance that might allow it to stake its claim to the post-Grimm time-slot beyond its initial short-season introduction.
Dracula, a Brit-American co-production, stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors) as the Count, who in this incarnation has been re-awakened from a century or more of stony slumber and turned loose in Victorian-era London's high society.
Providing the human blood that re-animates Vlad Tepes, a.k.a. Vlad the Impaler, a.k.a. Count Dracula, is Abraham Van Helsing (Thomas Kretschmann), who in this story is not Dracula's vampire-hunting nemesis (as in Bram Stoker's beloved novel) but instead is seeking the Count's assistance in a revenge plot that spans centuries.
In a storyline twist clearly intended to give Dracula a motivation that might make him at least somewhat sympathetic to TV viewers over the longer term, Van Helsing tells the reawakened vampire he wants help in bringing down a shadowy aristocratic/industrial organization called the Order of the Dragon, which murdered Van Helsing's family and was also responsible, a couple of generations earlier, for the burning at the stake of Dracula's one true love.
And so it is the vampire installs himself in 19th-century London society in the guise of Alexander Grayson, a smooth-talking American entrepreneur aiming to introduce a new wireless-electric technology that will revolutionize England's power industry (and, by extension, bring financial ruin to members of the Order of the Dragon who are invested heavily in oil).
Grayson holds a fancy-dress ball at his mansion, inviting all of London society to witness the unveiling of his wireless wonder. In the crowd, he spots Mina Murray (Jessica De Gouw), a lovely young medical student who bears such a striking resemblance to his long-dead wife he is certain she is the reincarnation of the same woman.
Dracula's mission is two-fold: wreak vengeance on the Order, and reclaim his lost love. Each will prove to be rather complicated.
Being the Prince of Darkness means you possess extraordinary powers, but Dracula has all he can handle in the Order of the Dragon. Cloaked in secrecy and armed with centuries' worth of dirty-tricks experience (if this series was set in the present, the Order would be sort of a multinational Enron/Exxon/Haliburton all rolled into one), the organization knows a thing or two about hunting and killing vampires. These creeps are so bad they make it easy for a blood-feasting undead monster to come off as the good guy.
And when it comes to the beautiful Mina, Dracula also demonstrates a level of morality that has not been seen in most other vampire adaptations: it would be easy for him to simply seduce her, bite her and make her one of his kind, but NBC's version of the Count opts instead to rely on more conventional means of persuasion, luring her with conversation and offering her boyfriend a high-paying job within his corporate organization.
It's feels clunky at times, and it's certainly more than a bit soapy, but Dracula does a better-than-expected job of giving viewers a reason to make an emotional investment in its characters and plot twists.
Rhys Meyers, who proved he can play over-the-top power-mad as well as anyone during his run as The Tudors' Henry VIII, exercises a relative amount of restraint in this role. He does pretty well at portraying Dracula as a pretty good guy who just happens to have a few centuries-old bad habits.

Should the social network be able to contest a search warrant on behalf of its users? That issue is now being debated in court.
Gov. Jerry Brown vetoes a bill that would have required law enforcement to obtain a warrant before using surveillance drones.
The bill, which is now on the governor's desk, pits privacy advocates against law enforcement interests in managing the emerging technology.
Social network was under a gag order until recently to disclose "by far the largest" search warrant request it's ever received.
The two are the latest to publicly support Microsoft in its protest of a search warrant for customer emails stored abroad.
A federal court of appeals rules that cell phone carriers have no obligation to hand over users' location history without a warrant.
Company says demand for emails stored in Ireland violates foreign sovereignty, erodes trust in US firms. US says it's essential for crime fighting.
An appeals court overturns an earlier ruling on the warrants used in the raid on the MegaUpload founder's mansion, dealing a blow to his effort to avoid extradition.
Vagaries of federal surveillance law, enacted in 1968 and updated in 1986, favor lots of e-mail snooping over only a little.
Despite ongoing controversy surrounding his tech inventions, Dotcom releases a beta-stage Web tool that provides users with end-to-end encrypted video and audio communication.

Program performance data on the NBCOT National Certification Exam for all schools is available on the NBCOT website.
Student Retention and Graduation Rates
OTD 2011-2013: of the 76 students who started the program, 69 graduated with an OTD degree. This demonstrates a 90% retention rate.
Employment Placement
The OTD graduate typically has job offers at the time of graduation in Occupational Therapy. Employment placements include hospitals, school systems, rehabilitation centers, long term care facilities, out-patient clinics and other settings.

I give him 4 "F"s too. He's a real dope!<quoted text>
First of all, I did not link polygamy to gay marriage, I linked polygamy to marital freedom, so you have just received your first "F" for your weak ploy. Secondly, love and attraction may exist, but we are not discussing love and attraction, we are discussing legislation of new definitions for old traditions and formality, so, your second "F", again, for a weak attempt at misdirection. Third, the idea of linking killing to gay marriage is, indeed, absurd. I didn't link the 2, you did. I showed that nature cannot be used as validation for abhorrent behavior, moron. Another "F" (you sure are racking up abysmal failures here). Fourth, the Founding Fathers never intended for a twisting of their ideals to be used to validate gay marriage, they never dreamed that Americans would be so mixed up, else they would have provided clauses protecting the normality of societal propriety. The Founders never gave unlimited freedoms, they just laid a groundwork, to be used sensibly. Another "F" for you, and my hatchet work on your idiotic post is done.
Too Funny!
