Shift 2: Unleashed
DF:GT - Post patch shift 2 has found its way!!!!
Downloaded the patch, (it reset my settings) so i dumped the lock to 900 and left everything alone (I think most settings like steering sensitivity and the like were at 50).
I hadn't picked up the game since the first few days because it was so bad.. but MAN! what a difference - In the over the hood view I began to trust my S15. When I finally switched to in cockpit view (not lean-in) I thought to myself. THIS is what I wanted shift 2 to be.
So maybe its just the car?
wrong, during those first loaner races, all 3 cars ran beautifully, the first thing I ran into trouble with is the exige.
Drive it like you would a real car, then push the limits like you would in real life.. It's a satisfying experience.

Anyone with a DFGT other than Rane found this to be true?
I swear I'm not feeling any difference since downloading the update.
I'm not whining. Just not feeling any difference.

I definitely noticed the wheel lag has reduced a lot but the Exige is still very screwed up, I friggin' hate that floaty piece of crap.
JPoon, were your wheel settings all reset to default after the update installed? I'm thinking that my patch didn't install correctly or something.
PSN ID: Myself9
how do u guys donwload it? as the network still down..?
Connect your PS3 to the Internet. Then load the game. A pop up will appear asking if you want to install the patch.

Maybe I'm being really dumb but I can't see how or where to change my controls to use my GT wheel. I'm stuck having to use the controller.

^^ it automatically detects the wheel and you go to options, control settings and its there.
Unless you are using CFW as CFW does not recognize any steering wheels...

It's been far too long since I updated this blog and I really do love the idea of femdom, I will aim to try and update at least twice a week here from now on and add images to make it interesting in between as this is a subject I know many of you enjoy being involved with, to those many switches I know and of course the men only subs that love a strong woman to tell them what to do!
So let's get started with one of my favorite spanking actresses from Australia, Gigi Allens, she is a switch herself but in all honesty, which one of us wouldn't want to deliberately be naughty and end up over HER lap getting that spanking we so wanted on our bare bottoms, eh?
Landlord Gigi Allens spanks her Tennant
The tall, beautiful, powerful Gigi Allens is Josh's landlord. She told him to clean up his room because she will be showing her house to potential buyers. But the place is a mess and the much smaller Josh must learn a lesson. Gigi puts him over her knee for a painful spanking with her hand and a wooden paddle.
See MORE of Gigi spanking Josh exclusively HERE!
More of Gigi being to men can be shown below at the self same site! She is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
Watch one of multiple POV style films that Gigi stars in as you partly imagine being over her knee and punished before they show a stunt bottom so you can see this beauty in action…. oh, and I KNOW you will love her scolding you in her Aussie accent too!
Gigi Allens Spanks VB Player at Camp
Gigi Allens is in coed volleyball camp, where she will not tolerate any guys who are slacking and hitting on the female players. She puts this offending guy right over her knee for a long, hard spanking with her hand, and a wooden paddle. Teaching him a good lesson and lecturing him with her cute and sexy Australian accent.

Contract Ruby On Rails Software Engineer Interview
I applied through other source. The process took a day – interviewed at LinkedIn in January 2012.
A senior engineering VP reached out to me using - of course - LinkedIn itself. He had taken the time to read my profile, venturing a friendly remark about a well-known company at which we'd both worked a couple of decades before. We engaged in a friendly and informative email exchange, and he arranged to call me early the next day. We spoke for about an hour, getting along very well. He asked if I'd be up for a follow-up technical screen the same day with a senior member of his staff; I answered in the affirmative, knowing I'd need to move around a couple of commitments.
So, his direct report contacts me at the appointed time, and almost immediately I experienced a "oh no it's going to be one of _those_ calls" sinking feeling. With no preamble, the guy - a former CS professor from Bulgaria - launched into a series of questions about my day-to-day influences, e.g. "What do you read to keep up with the Rails community?" I truthfully answered, "various Pragmatic Programmers publications, Stack Overflow, Y. Katz's blog," etc., which seemed to satisfy him. OK, fine. He immediately then challenged me how, programmatically, I would go about determining the set of integers between 1 and 100 evenly divisible ("remainder 0") by 3 but not by 9.
Fine: it's going to be one of those "how does this guy think?" questions, which I knocked out quickly. To my confusion, he immediately blurted out, "Wrong... wrong... that doesn't work," which I found a bit unsettling and bizarre. He'd asked me to do the exercise on paper (not how programmers actually work), which I did. Insisting it would work, I mentioned that I should have opened a console window and fired up the interactive irb interpreter, where Ruby programmers often test short exploratory blocks of code. I had done that, and found that my solution actually worked. The guy got hung up on a "thinking out loud" utterance I made at one point, involving the use of the 'yield' keyword, and chose to force us down a conversational cul-de-sac with no productive purpose in mind.
At a certain point, I knew with complete certainty that I would never work with or under this guy, and told him I'd like to terminate the interview. Oddly, he wanted to continue, but by that point I knew that every minute spent in unnecessary combat with my arrogant interlocutor was an additional point of blood pressure increase not worth experiencing.
The high irony of the incident is this: they're trying to staff a team to build out an applicant tracking system, some subsystem of which would, ideally, generate metrics for the effectiveness of interviewers. Sincerest best wishes to them in that endeavor.

What travellers think
Travellers that stayed here think this hostel is best for
- Sightseeing
- Culture
- Shopping
The worse experience in a HI. For me, a scaring place. Realy disapointed. NOT a reasonable place to stay.
Sat 13 Dec 2014
The location of the hostel is great, close to hermitage and in the main street of SP. Receptionists need a customer service training though.
Tue 19 Aug 2014
+staff friendly,help-full&english-speaking -outside the house there is just a little sign "hostel" (no HI logo). Then to enter the front door downstairs you have to tip a code (sign only in russian). I thought, this couldn't be it because of the missing HI logo. It would be helpful to fix an HI logo at the front door and to write down the indication how to open the door in russian & english. negativ: I was in a room with lots of girls, who give the impression to live there (and not as tourists).
Tue 17 Jun 2014
This hostel should not be a part of HI. Never experienced anything like it. Defect showers, things growing in them, strong smell of urine in toilets, shabby, dirty. Location good but noisy. Bedsheets clean (holes and stains), matress comfortable. Bedroom not. Bad management. When I wanted to make sure payment covered my needs, manager threathened me (!!!) I left the next day. Paid the same price minus registration fee at the Bliss hostel, around the corner, (by Admiralteyskaya Metro station).
Fri 13 Jun 2014
most people at reception were not abel to speak english and we had to pay a registration fee, which we actually didn't uad to pay, cause of short time visit.
Thu 29 May 2014
I had a very enjoyable experience here.

Not that dipstick currently residing in the White House..
Deal with Radicals..
Reorganized States..
Backdoor? Any which way you can to disarm us is that it Buck Ofama?
I do believe Article 1 Section 8 gives Congress the power to regulate commerce, not the President, not in this case pResident!! But what the hell do I know. Just a hard working, tax paying, broken down old paramedic here..
Another vacation with your boyfriend Buck Ofama? What does Mooch and those kids of whosoever do while you frolicking on the beach?
If you actually did something worthwhile and worked for America instead of against it….Maybe we would consider your taking a vacation once in a while, okay. But since you don't and taking a vacation in my world with my family, puts a financial strain on us because of you and your pilfering government taxing the hell out of us..
Dog and pony show? Pretty much sums up Buck Ofama's entire pResidency and political career! Has he ever worked.
Free? You do not have any clue what fee means do you Buck Ofama! Free means FREE. Your version means someone else pays for it the Government gives it to someone else and calls it 'free'!
That's free you supposedly brainy, dumb ass!!
Is not a Right! If you wanna lay on your back with your legs in the air…Is your choice! Not a damn right!!
My gun is never far from me and never unloaded…
Chances are I would not survive..But the shotgun would roar multiple times and Double 00 in a narrow hallway would be bad for those receiving it!!
Really? We knew this. But now apparently since a lame stream network, that usually serves as Buck Ofama's Propaganda of Ministry has announced it..
It makes it truer? More true?
Clueless, inept, bungling, pointless….
Nobody is happy with the boy king Buck Ofama!!
Waking up?
Drone hunting. No limit, try to maim so you can scavenge parts. Build your own drones. Use them against those idiots like PETA!!…And the NSA..
NO limit, as they are vermin…
Between The Berms: 10 Years Wasted | Shooting Wire.
We are one shooting incident away from another full on effort by the media to surrender away our second amendment rights – easily done since they have no use for them. Fortunately for the time being their attention is focused on the administration's efforts to pry into their news sources.

Now why would someone whom 'works' for Obama lead an 'armed' march on Washington?
To create another 'crisis' to help with Buck Ofama's disarmament of Americans program.
Good luck with that!!!
Obama vs. House on guns. Who will prevail?.
I would like to say the People's Representatives, but today am not so sure..
Obama has proven to be disdainful of the Constitution and our Rights.
I am buying.
How about you?
Should say: Dems bring in the unemployed, the welfare recipients, the lazy, the illegals, the Taxpayer funded Union members, etc. by the busload to fill stadium for Obama speech
Because that would be the truth of the matter..

Gallium3D: TGSI IR, OpenCL, LLVM Work Ahead
Published on 23 March 2009 01:21 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
FreeDesktop.org hacker Zack Rusin has provided an update on his blog about some of his recent activities when it comes to
In particular,
this blog post
largely talks about his recent work on TGSI, which is the intermediate representation used by Gallium3D, to improve the compilation of shaders. In order to improve TGSI since most modern hardware is designed around DirectX needs rather than OpenGL, TGSI could be changed to match that of the Direct3D semantics, Gallium3D could convert some of the IR before it gets submitted to the graphics driver, or the intermediate representation itself could be changed. Zack is opting for the path of changing TGSI IR itself. There are also a few other benefits to changing the TGSI intermediate representation, which he expresses in his post.
Besides that, he mentions the
code for Gallium3D is far from finished. Back in February we talked about
embedding a code compiler with a GPU driver
in order to compile and optimize graphics shaders (in a similar way to how Apple optimizes its shaders for Mac OS X), but so far there has not been a lot of progress made. Most of the Low-Level Virtual Machine work on Gallium3D has been done by Stephane Marchesin of
and Corbin Simpson on the ATI side. Zack shares though that he may be able to piggyback some of the LLVM work on top of his OpenCL state tracker work.
Back in February Zack had shared he hoped to have
an OpenCL state tracker in Gallium3D by this summer
. To date no Linux graphics drivers -- proprietary or not -- provide support for
Times are certainly interesting within the Gallium3D camp.

Genre: Simulation - Space trading and combat
Group DescriptionThis group includes predominantly free-form, exploration-based games that incorporates space combat with an economy system that allows (and usually requires) the player to trade with organizations or entire planets, typically with the goal of outfitting, enhancing, and strengthening the player-controlled ship to perform better in combat. Elite (1984) is commonly considered the progenitor of this type of games.
In order to be included in this group, a game must feature space trading as an important gameplay element. The actual percentage of combat and trading in the game may vary; however, in most cases combat is of secondary importance compared to trading and exploration.

Just a reminder that our Association Meeting is TONIGHT!
Here's the updated Agenda General March 2015!
Just a reminder that our Association Meeting is TONIGHT!
Here's the updated Agenda General March 2015!
Did you know?
* PTAs that run more than one campaign a year have, on average, 20 percent more members.
* Nationwide, approximately 18 percent of PTA members join in January and February.
* Running membership campaigns more frequently reminds your members that membership is everyone's business, especially if you weave membership into programs, activities, and general PTA work, too.
* February is not too late for parents to make a real impact on their children's education. Lay the groundwork for success
* Ask your PTA board to explain to potential members what your PTA does for the children of your community.
* Determine whether your PTA/PTSA is meeting the needs of your members and community.
* Align your goals with the needs and interests of your members and community.
* Make sure you have the support of your principal and school staff.
Click HERE for tips for getting started.
The LCAP is required to identify annual goals, specific actions, and measure progress for student subgroups across multiple performance indicators, including student academic achievement, school climate, student access to a broad curriculum, and parent engagement. School districts and charter schools are required to obtain parent and public input in developing, revising and updating LCAPs.
The academic priorities must be aligned to the district's spending plan. The Board of Education must first approve the LCAP before adopting the annual district budget. The LCAP highlights actions funded with Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) dollars from the State. County superintendents must review school district LCAPs and ensure alignment of projected spending, services, and goals. Charter school LCAPs will be reviewed by the chartering authority. County Offices of Education's are required to provide technical assistance when they disapprove an LCAP. The state Superintendent of Public Instruction may intervene if a school district or charter school fails to show improvement across multiple subgroups in three out of four consecutive years.
The LCAP Planning team is comprise of School district employees, teachers, parents, community members and students. The planning team is currently reviewing the LCAP and preparing to make recommendations to the district regarding the update of the LCAP. How are things at your school? Let the PTA council know. Do you have questions about the LCAP? Please contact us with any questions or comments.
An arts education task force formed by California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson is calling for arts education to be elevated to a core subject and be available to all students.
"We have been extremely fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and creative group committed to helping our state rebuild its infrastructure for arts education," Torlakson said. "The picture they paint is one of a relevant, robust and dynamic curriculum to keep kids in schools, narrow the achievement gap and give students an opportunity to discover and develop their individual talents. But they also highlight the need to make certain all students have access to arts education so they can explore their own artistic vision."
California State PTA representatives served on the group that developed the Blueprint, and the association is part of the new CREATE CA Coalition dedicated to building public will around the recommendations.

The California State PTA resolutions committee has recommended our Council resolution "Climate Change is a Children's Issue" be submitted to the delegates at the 2015 California State PTA convention. If passed, this resolution will authorize California State PTA, its units, councils and districts to advocate for meaningful action to protect today's children as well as future generations from the negative effects of climate change.
More good news — on December 9, 2014, the San Diego Unified Board of Education passed a resolution written by board members Richard Barrera and Michael McQuary in support of our PTA climate change initiative.
Delegates will debate this resolution at California State PTA Convention to be held April 30 to May 3 in Sacramento, California. Please consider sending a voting delegate from your unit to Convention this year so our Council is well-represented. We need you!

Italian Cypress Root System
I have tried to find a definte answer everywhere with no luck. How deep do Italian Cypress roots go?
I dug a 150 foot long trench along my fence line around my entire yard where I buried a wall of 1/4 inch galvanized hardware cloth. There are 9 newly planted 15 gallon Italian Cypress trees along the trench where the galvanized mesh will be buried. Will the trees be alright with the mesh only a few inches away from the root ball on one side? The Mesh is about 24 inches deep (2 feet). I would think such a hardy drought resistant tree would find away through 1/4 inch mesh.
Someone told me that the roots will be weak on one side and will blow over when mature on that side.
Please help!!
There is no definite answer because there are many variables (soil type, soil moisture, etc). I can tell you that about 90% of the tree's roots will usually be in the top two or three feet of soil.
Did you put the hardware cloth in to fence out pests?
The roots will go through the mesh, but will be girdled as they grow. I certainly wouldn't recommend the situation you describe!
Yes, I did it to keep gophers out of my yard. These are small gophers and all the holes I've found don't go more than 12 inches down.
I spoke with a couple local nurseries and they both said that Italian Cypress roots are fibrous and I have nothing to worry about. They said the roots would go right through the mesh and if they expand they will simply break the mesh.
My 2 cents : The mesh should be no closer than the 1/2 the typical spread of the tree. Would recommend you cut the mesh to only 12" deep for several feet by each tree, most likely the roots will then grow under it and it will still keep out your gophers (maybe). Doubt the roots will break the mesh, more likely the mesh will cut the roots and certainly stunt them per Brandon's comments. Moving the trees back would be a solution, but assume you don't have room for that.
I appreciate your input. I've already buried all the mesh. I think the trees will find a way and be fine. Nature isn't perfect and tree roots have to go around lots of obsticles naturaly, rock, etc. The mesh itself isn't going to last forever and will certainly start to corrode after years.
As I said the nurseries said the trees would be fine and everyone else I've talked to (non internet based) said that nature will find a way.
I'm going to leave everything as is. Thanks again for your input.
The tree(s) may develop root problems and like someone told you they can potentially fall over or not have any foliage on that side or have a poor appearance.
The trees will probably look fine for a few years until that mesh becomes a problem.
Italian cypress and related species are drought tolerant but you can't expect them to be drought tolerant without a well developed root system.
There may be natural obstacles like rocks but this isn't a natural obstacle and don't bet on it biodegrading in the soil. By the time that happens, we'll all be long gone.
I'm not surprised the nurseries tell you the trees will be fine because they're trying to sell you the trees and will say whatever it takes. The people onthe internet like myself really don't know what you're trying to do because we can't see the mesh or really understand what you're talking about. But what I can say with certainty is nature doesn't always find a way.
I'm failing to understand how FIBROUS roots will be blocked/hurt by 1/4 inch openings for 2 feet down. The openings are larger that the roots. The roots can go straight through without any problems.
As I've explained, I am keeping gophers out of my yard. That is why I dug a trench 2 feet deep and inserted the mesh.
The nurseries aren't trying to sell me anything, I already purchased them and they have a 1 year guarantee. And the guy I talked to could care less about selling/returning, I know the guy personally.
So anyway, I'd appreciate your take on why 1/4 inch openings for 2 feet down will cause problems with fibrous roots.

According to a recent study, people who have lost their jobs in this tough economy are often depressed. That's a no-brainer, but here's something that isn't: individuals that have several friends and family members who are also jobless are less likely to be depressed. Plus, they are often less gung-ho about finding a new job. Why? It's the social norm; there is no incentive for change.
Despite official government and mainstream-media pronouncements, and our own best hopes, the economy is not getting better.

Hello again, The internet is bad here even when "they" say it is good. Not really strong enough to get many photos with my entries and I have some great photos. I have tried several times to send photos and it just doesn't work, unfortunately. I will be heading to Fez in a couple of days and will try catching up with photos from there. Too bad because I was so excited to show you my camel!

The Sahara camel experience was interesting but it was so cold in the evening and early morning. We slept in Berber tents. We traveled there on our camels and in the morning we got back on our camels and returned to our starting place and had breakfast before the long drive home. Enjoy the camel photos.

The food and drinks will cost $93.27 including the main course, desserts, and tip. The cost of the flight and the hotel and the food will cost $4,340.38.

I was wondering if anyone knows when the current music loop for Main Street (performed by Paragon Orchestra and other ensembles) started???
The reason why I ask is because I was on Itunes the other day and heard some songs played by a group called the Gaslight Orchestra and I completely remember hearing these songs on Main Street back in the 80's, when I used to go for coffee, with friends, at the American Egg House Restaurant. So I was wondering when the change occurred and if anyone knows what the old loop music titles consisted of that was different from the current one being played. I know this is probably a long shot to answer, but I thought I'd try. May a Disneyland afficionado might know. Thanks

Enterprise Mobility – Time to take the lead or perish
By Carlos Chang-Oracle on Oct 27, 2014
Suhas Uliyar, VP Mobile Strategy, Product Management, Oracle
I agree. The gap continues to grow between organizations that have embraced mobility as a way of life and those that maintain a tactical business approach and continue to resist the inevitable. The latter find themselves increasingly struggling to play catch-up and stay relevant. Those that have taken a "mobile first" approach, on the other hand, have disrupted the status quo and achieved unprecedented levels of success in a very short period of time.
Consider Uber, for example; launched in March 2009, the ridesharing service quickly tapped into customers' enthusiasm for 'everything mobile' and is now valued at more than US$15 billion. The company completely destabilized the traditional taxi model, which cannot match the agility of a fully mobile business. The implication is clear: Change or perish.
Mobile technology really has worked its way into virtually every aspect of our lives, so it is surprising to see that many organizations are still trying to hold back the tide when it comes to enterprise mobility. Only 24 percent of employers actively encourage the use of mobile devices for work, with one-fifth actually limiting the applications and data that employees can access on these devices[1].
In reality, this strategy serves neither them nor their employees. Our reflex to check our push notifications every few minutes has become almost as ingrained in our psyches as our impulse to drink water when we're thirsty – and we probably do it more often, to be honest – so why fight the natural progression of things, especially when it can work in our favor?
A mobile approach can transform the way a business operates at its core. It allows people to make the most of their connected devices so they can collaborate more effectively and work in a more flexible way. It also encourages innovation through the use of pioneering apps and services, and perhaps most importantly offers businesses a better way to engage with their customers, their employees, and their partners.
To add to this, businesses have little hope of holding back what has become an unstoppable tide of enthusiasm for "everything mobile". Only 18 percent of people think their employers can effectively control how they use their personal devices, while many have found ways to use them for work despite businesses' policies to the contrary[2].
It's understandable that companies have some concerns around enterprise mobility, particularly when it comes to security and integration, but they should by no means let their apprehension stifle innovation.
The trick for organizations today is to implement their own end-to-end mobile platforms, and to keep things simple. In my experience, simplicity is crucial to the rapid and effective integration of business data with user-friendly mobile applications. The cloud in particular offers businesses an excellent back-end platform to support their mobility solutions in a simple and cost effective manner.
The technology needed to fuel the mobile business is here and the appetite among people in the workforce for "everything mobile" is only getting more voracious. Rather than viewing the rise of enterprise mobility as a potential threat and it letting it blow by them, companies should be capitalizing on the opportunity in front of them.

I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts about the pros and cons of database mirroring vs. log shipping in this scenario: we need to setup a database backup situation wherein there is exactly one secondary server that need not automatically pick up when the primary fails. Recovering and starting with the secondary should not have to take too long though.
Log Shipping
Switching to the secondary database does take longer with log shipping, but it's not too bad. You'll have to manually copy any uncopied backup files, apply the transaction log backups to the secondary database, recover the secondary database, and change its role to primary. If the old primary databases accessible, you should back up its transaction log before beginning. Failing over with mirroring is somewhat simpler, and can be done automatically if you are using High Availability mode. Even when using High Performance mode, it's still a one statement operation.
For backup purposes I would recommend Mirroring: it keeps an always up-to-date copy of your database with no hassle.. If you don't need automatic fail-over you need just two servers/instances. Note that High Performance mode is only available in the Enterprice (sp) edition!

Downfall of Communism
By Editorial Staff
Published June 1, 1988
by U.S. Senator William Armstrong
There is a word missing from the following quotations taken from recent news stories: "Nicaragua, Cuba and other leftist countries have played leading roles in arming and training El Salvador left-wing guerrillas since 1980 …" (Washington Post); "The radical government that came to power in Ethiopia after the 1974 overthrow of the Emperor Haile Salassie …" (New York Times).
"… rising hopes within President Fidel Castro's government for better relations with the United States … the Cuban leader is successfully pursuing contacts with governments previously leery of his revolutionary ideology …" (Washington Post).
"At Berkeley, California, more than 112 people, including black educator and activist Angela Davis, were taken into custody at the University of California after blocking the entrance to the administration building." (United Press International).
"Left-wing," "leftist," "Cuban leader," "revolutionary," "activist," "radical" – one word is conspicuous by its absence from the above characterizations.
To use it, even in circumstances where its accuracy is unquestionable, is to reveal oneself as rude, unsophisticated, and intolerant. It is in fact something of a four letter word.
The word, of course, is communist. Nicaragua, Cuba, and other communist countries are aiding the communist guerrillas in El Salvador. There is a communist regime in Ethiopia. Fidel Castro is a communist dictator and his ideology is communism. There is something jarring about seeing these obvious facts simply stated, so rare have such plain, honest descriptions become.
Most remarkable is the description of Angela Davis as a "black educator and activist." Other press accounts of her arrest note her teaching position at San Francisco State or call her "a key figure in the protest movements of the 1960s." None saw fit to mention that she was the candidate for Vice President of the United States, on the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) ticket, in the 1980 and 1984 elections. Her running mate was Gus Hall, General Secretary of the CPUSA.
To call someone who calls himself a communist a "communist" is not a provacation or slander but a plain statement of fact, mere truth in labelling. Why this reluctance to use the word that fits?
One can understand the desire not to be labelled a "McCarthyite," a "red-baiter" or a "cold-war paranoiac" by indiscriminately tossing the word "communist" at anyone who happens to disagree with you.
But this meticulous insistence on avoiding the word altogether seems to go beyond that. For example, among the euphemisms commonly employed to replace "communist," the strongest are "Marxist" and "Marxist-Leninist." This substitution is accurate, but there is something clinical about it, as if one were to insist on using "canis familiaris" every time one means to say "dog."
There seems to be more at work there than the desire not to appear provocative or unfashionable. After all, avoiding the word "communist" coincides so completely with the interests of the communists themselves. Specifically it suits their purposes that the "class enemy" (that is, most non-communists anesthetize themselves into believing that communists aren't really so different from anybody else, that, deep down, they're just like you and me).
This is not to say that those who substitute euphemisms are necessarily conscious of this. (One is tempted to call them "communist dupes," but this again brands one as a 1950s throwback). It does mean that we have a less than accurate picture of the challenges that face us in the world.
For the fact is: there is such a thing as communism, and there are people that think of themselves as communists. They have very definite ideas about how the world works and how history develops. Philosophically, they are strict materialists and militant atheists, specifically rejecting the restraints of morality accepted by most of humanity.
They are dedicated, in the words of the Communist Manifesto, to the "forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions," a statement of incredible scope. Their goal, in the words of Pravda, March 23, 1983, is: "a communist future for all mankind." And their chief obstacle is the "main enemy," the United States.
In pursuing this goal they have built a formidable network of communist-ruled states and communist-directed parties, fronts and mass organizations. Communist call this the "international communist movement" – another taboo expression for non-communists. This movement has a track record, one which even the most conservative of estimates reckons as costing tens of millions of lives.
To recognize these realities without evasion or self-deception is not to be bellicose or dogmatic: it is a necessary step in defeating the communist threat to peace and freedom in today's world. Conversely, to avoid calling communism what it is, is to fool ourselves. Hiding our heads in the sand is hardly likely to make the world a freer or safer place.

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With "preaching to the lost" being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion's specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

who is firstname.lastname@example.com???
I just received the following e-mail from her and was wondering what the heck she's talking about???
This message originated at GardenWeb]
Count me out.
After the rudness displaied in the last trade.
Sorry girls, I don't have all the facts. I just wanted to let Dan know that there may have been a mistake made with him receiving that email after I did a little digging. Something having to do with mistaken group identities. For all who may be involved I don't want to say anything that would hurt feelings. Love you all!
yep, let's just call it a case of mistaken identity, and let it fade away. it's over and done with, so let's let the past remain in the past, whatever happened to cause it all.
and Tracy? Smooches to you too!!! But be careful, Diene has a way of making me behave myself, darn it!!! LOL!!!
Okay, I'm feeling a bit hot and sticky, time to go over to the July swap and jump in the pool with everyone else, whether they're skinnydipping or not! ROFL!!!
ready or not Ladies, here I come!!!
I've had a couple of mistaken emails too (not from the person named in the post). From someone saying they are coming to my house for a visit and will be here soon). Nothing happened though, no one showed up.. LOL! The person who sent my strange emails had 'horse' somewhere mixed in the name. I can't recall the exact name.
hate it when that happens!! and if you get so many trades going and you click on a name that was above or below the name you meant to click on, OOPS!! or reply to one that you "thought" was someone else!! i am famous for that!! LOL i reply'd last night to my hubs accidently and meant to reply to my dad, they were on the same thing, my dad sent me the email, i forwarded it to hubs, and i replied to hubs by mistake. thinking i was repliying to dad!! LOL
my hubs keeps his email cleaned out all the time, i keep emails that i think are important for a while. LOL now i know why ya don't!!! LOL at least i didn't say anything bad, as if i have that bone in my body lately. well the mood hasn't stricken me. HEE HEE :')) LOL Medo
