Increasing the ability for a person to make decisions for her/himself increases his/her liberty. Government sponsored healthcare does this very thing, and libertarians*, being proponents of liberty (or so I've heard), can get behind this very thing.
*A libertarian- A proponent of libertarianism, a political philosophy that upholds individual liberty, especially freedom of expression and action.
Goverment Sponsored Healthcare, A Libertarian Value
Government sponsored measures such as the Affordable Care Act increase financial liberty for a greater number of people than privatized insurance plans ever could alone (which anyone still has the liberty to buy). Obamacare allows for the poorer segments of our population to have more financial options. Under our capitalist system, I don't need to tell anyone that having more money increases their number of options, be it to save, spend, or burn. Indisposable income amounts to a much higher percentage of total income for poorer people than it does for richer people. When someone has to choose between paying a hospital bill and paying rent, there really isn't much of a choice to save money, consume at their liberty, or invest it. With government sponsored healthcare, there is a choice: the poorer person is at liberty to choose whether they want to use the sponsored healthcare (allowing for more choices with the extra money), to pay out of pocket, or use a private insurance program. And if they prefer Obamacare, anyone can use the money for something else of their choosing, spend, or invest, or bury it under the house.
The wealthiest people among us already have this liberty. With vastly more income, they never have to worry about whether to choose between rent or healthcare. Because of this, I do think the extremely wealthy should be taxed a higher percentage. OK, this does limit their choices a little bit, maybe, but come on 1%! Do you really need to buy a new yacht every year? Can't you buy a new yacht every other year and help provide that much more liberty for millions of people?
That having been said, let's look at the current tax brackets (from about.com):
Single Filing Status

- 10% on taxable income from $0 to $8,700, plus

I know how clumsy looking that is, the next one is better. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the pretty, bankrate.com, 2012 tax bracket to post.
And at the end of the year, the brackets could change back to this (from bankrate.com):

Both of these charts are showing tax rates only on taxable income (yearly wages and such). Not too bad, right?
One problem with the current tax code is that people who are making around $300,000 or $400,000 a year are lumped into the same category with people who make $1 million+ per year, a great deal (if not all) of the difference of this income being disposable. Also remember that this is the tax code for individuals, not the corporate tax code.
The biggest problem with the tax code is its ineffectiveness at taxing the super wealthy. This chart represents the average amount of taxes actually paid by each income group, taking the wildly low Capital Gains Tax into account (also take note that it's an average rather than a range):
|Average Income Before Taxes
|Effective Income and Payroll Tax Rate
|Income from Capital Gains, Interest and Dividends
|Top 10%
|Top 5%
|Top 1%
|Top 400[9]
|*Adjusted Gross Income(AGI)
So, $94,100 is 15.7% and $344,831,528 is 16.6%. Yeah, the wealthiest being taxed a little more would alleviate a lot of the American taxpayer's burden, thus creating more financial options and therefore more liberty to decide what's best for themselves. Capital gains primarily benefit the wealthy and should also be taxed progressively. If this was truly a progressive tax system, the wealthiest would be paying the largest share of income, once again, that is almost exclusively disposable.
The argument has been made that increasing taxes on the wealthiest individuals will result in job losses, as they would be less likely to invest in and consume from businesses providing goods and services. The problem with this argument is there is no obligation for wealthy people to do so. Just like poor people, the wealthy may be burying their millions beneath the house and contributing little to the economy. It could be anywhere from 0-100% of the wealthy (400 people or 1% of people or what have you) who are helping the economy by consuming or investing. What's wrong with that? Nothing. Except that their tax rate (primarily capital gains) is way too low compared to the other brackets. We should require some investment by taxing them a little higher. Investment, as in the case of healthcare, for liberty.
So we've taxed the super rich a little more. Why bother with additional government expenditure for healthcare when people could pay for it with their bad-ass tax cuts? Life is a precursor to the pursuit of liberty, as in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Healthcare costs range from tummy-ache cheap to life-saving, long recovery expensive. Insurance companies can't be counted upon to provide life-saving funds to "high cost" or "high risk" buyers, especially among those in lower income families. And among lower income families, even their total income may not be sufficient enough to pay for care. Care that could be life-saving allowing for liberty, etc. you get the idea. In her own words, one of my favorite bloggers provides further evidence on how families are still falling through the cracks.
I know some of you have bought into the sensationalism spread by fear-mongering insurance providers: that private insurance rates will increase as a result of government healthcare, thereby limiting choices. This spits in the face of free market capitalism and I can't believe anyone buys into the mania. With another competitor in the field, insurance companies will have to sweeten the deal either by lowering private insurance costs or improving benefits and services to remain competitive. If not, they'll be forced out of business, as they damn well should if they're unwilling to compete. But I'll wager that the cannier businessmen would rather adapt to market forces than roll over and die in the face of competition.
So, combined with a progressive tax, upholding and even expanding Obamacare increases financial liberty for the vast majority of people. Costs to most taxpayers are widely offset with the implementation of a better progressive tax, and a tiny number of the wealthiest need only sacrifice their financial liberty by limiting themselves to buying an island paradise every other month rather than every month. Additionally, cleaning up and eliminating pork spending would free government cash to implement liberty increasing measures such as decreased taxes for most Americans, increasing the minimum wage, and of course, the Affordable Care Act.

More than 60 Kenowa Hills High School seniors were suspended for their last day of school Tuesday for a senior prank in which they rode their bicycles to school.
The students had a police escort along the way, and several students reported to FOX 17 that the Mayor of Walker was out along the route handing out donuts to kids as they passed.
Some commuters and teachers were not amused, however, and reported that the kids caused them to be late for work.

Great shots - they do look really film-like. So, regarding the 'less sharp at the pixel level' comment - do you see that as a problem or simply the price to pay to obtain such great other image quality attributes?

She makes an amazing Ms. Marvel, and we had ~whiskers come along as a kickass Captain America. Im very pleased with this shoot!

Film Miyamoto Musashi to look online
The director was born 05/16/1898, died 24/08/1956. Director, screenwriter, producer and actor. Kenji Mizoguchi was born in Tokyo, Japan, in a poor family. In 13 years, Mizoguchi dropped out of school, he studied painting and worked as a commercial artist. In 1920 he made his debut in films as an actor, appeared in 1923 written and directed.Mizoguchi came in the movie theater as the notions of the conventions that had dominated the screen. Under the influence of German expressionism put a picture of blood and soul (1923), filmed works of Western literature: 813 (according to M. Leblanu, 1923), Port in a fog (by Yu O'Neal, 1923), Mizoguchi brought the first success.In the films Spring whispers paper dolls and teacher mad passion (1926) addressed the social motives, led groundbreaking research in the field of film language.

Lawyers & Law Firms
Dreiers partners have gone the way side, what about the cases Dreier was handling, where do the funds from such go to?
Do you work for free?
At this year's bonus rate, almost.
Not that Shargel should work for free - but if Dreier is insolvent, why should he be entitled to use other people's money to pay for high end defense attorney's? I agree that Dreier should not be permitted to defend himself by using proceeds of his alleged crimes (and since money is fungible, until they can sequester enough of his assets to cover anticipated civil liability, he should not be permitted to have use of those assets to pay his legal fees). If Shargel wants to defend Dreier pro bono, good for him. But Shargel should have considered the consequences of taking on the representation of a defendant whose apparent assets may all rightly be the property of others before he agreed to be Dreier's counsel.
It just seems like a very perverse result that those who engage in financial frauds can use the proceeds of such frauds to hire the most sophisticated defense counsel. What incentive does the alleged fraudster have to preserve any of those assets? If he's found guilty, he paid for his defense with other peoples money.
Why isn't this how it works?
Why should Dreier be entitled to a Lawyer he cant afford. Those who can only afford a Kia dont get a Rolls Royce when they are busted. He gets what he (ironically deserves) a Public Defender
Of course they haven't found any reservoir of off-shore funds. If they could find it, then it wouldn't have been very well secreted, now, would it?
So.....what's the deal on this week's bail revocation request in Mr. Madoff's case? When will the judge rule? And will the judge look at the alleged $173 million in checks allegedly found in Mr. Madoff's desk? Anybody know?
10:28, I'd love to see Dreier stuck with a public defender from the public defender's office (although its attorneys are generally better than a large percentage of private attorneys in New York City) and understand the argument that the victims' money shouldn't be used to fund his defense, but on the other hand, do you want your tax dollars to be spent funding his defense, because that's what happens if he gets a PD. I think they should liquidate that crap he was trying to send his family and give that to Shargel.
The censor police here are so woefully inadequate and morally bereft - You cannot take away a persons right to counsel under presumption of guilt - especially when you have not yet seen a conviction or guilty plea. Removing this comment is shameful on the part of this rag.
12:17 - It seems to me that it would be more appropriate to use taxpayer dollars than victims dollars for this purpose. Otherwise you are victimizing the victims twice. Obviously I'm not keen on using taxpayer dollars to pay for a criminal's defense, but it's an important constitutional protection. As such, I see it as one of those things that our tax dollars are properly meant to be spent on (from a post hoc standpoint, after seeing who the beneficiary is of my tax dollars, I may not be pleased with where it gets spent, but the same could be said about many tax expenditures - that's besides the point).
If he's so innocent, let his partners pony up his defense costs!
A Silver Lining…
Many of you, who were defrauded in a Ponzi Scheme could qualify to recover the tax basis of your remaining investment loss. A seldom used provision of the Internal Revenue Code 165 (C)(2) , (§165), allows you to offset you loss in the Year of Discovery, against ordinary income. Any remaining loss can be carried back three years and/or carried forward. The treatment of this loss is different for each victim.
Spearheaded by Timothy J. Kelleher, Securities Fraud Recovery Trust, (SFRTrust.com) is one of the leading pioneers in the theft loss industry. Mr. Kelleher has been instrumental in the start up and development of JK Harris 165 Services fraud division, (165 Services) and was the founding partner of Investment Fraud Recovery Network, (IFRN). His efforts have resulted in the recovery of millions in tax refunds to the victims of investment fraud. The expertise of his team is sought out by victims of fraud and their tax professionals nationwide.
The team of experts at SFRTrust.com stand ready to evaluate your case to determine its merit under §165. There is no financial risk to you whatsoever.

crazy stuff! stephen odzer
dogs should be kept in a pen
One of the pilers of our society is the presumption of innocents. The Govmt has ample money to prosecute you and will leave no stone unturned in doing so by spending millions! The presumption is constitutionally protected, just like the freedom of speech, and other rights. Until Dreier is convicted, he has every right to use funds at his disposal unless it can be directly proven that those funds are derived from a criminal source!
Wake up Johnny Mack - if Dreier didn't steal these funds what the *&CK is this all about. In your world - he just pays back the funds he raised for "legitimate" promissory notes that didn't exist??(forget the ponzi scheme) and also returns the $50+ million missing from the escrow accounts because according to Johnny Mack and Dreier doesn't every lawyer just borrow money from Clients accounts without their permission - money which has mysteriously disappeared. Dreier could not be more guilty and he has admitted to such. He must not be allowed to use clients funds to pay for what is going to be nothing more than a negotiation with the US Attorney as to how long his sentence will be. In hindsight this will turn out to be a discussion about how many years Dreier had left on his sentence before he died in jail from old age............... A Public defender will do just fine for this purpose.........
You sound very bitter, "anonymous", give the man a chance to fight his case. If found guilty of fraud, well he'll go to debt prison which is a waste of tax payers money. If guilty this man should be allowed to repay his debt by working for the good of society, outside of prison.
Nevertheless, there may come a day when you, Mr. anonymous, or someone you know is accused of a crime. lets hope the right to competent legal representation still exist,
who cares what kind of representation Dreier can procure for himself? when is the SEC and or the US AG's office going to probe the e-mails of his partners who may have been in on the fraud schemes. Maybe they are, but this yammering on about Dreier as an isolated potential offender is getting boring; he had partners interested in making money of of hedge funds....public fact, nothing mysterious about that.
when will the SEC/AG's office request his partner's e-mails? does anyone think he thought up this scheme himself?
it was publicly known he had a partner interested in making money off of hedge funds

Generate Local Business Leads Strategy To Build An Enterprise
Generating business in a local environment can be difficult these days. Years ago, someone would grab the Yellow Pages, flip to what they needed, and pick the biggest or prettiest ad and use that service. Now that everything is online, finding the right company, locally, for a client's needs is like finding a needle in a haystack. Searching for something as specific as "Stuffed handmade dolls for 5 year olds in Seattle" can lead to thousands of results from all over the country and the world.
So, then, how do you get your name to the top of the list, or at least to the tip of peoples tongues? It all comes down to how you work on your lead generation and search engine optimization. Before you do anything else, you need an actual webpage under your companies own name.
This is much easier to do than it may sound, but make sure you aren't getting a site that has anything but your name on it. For example, if you were to buy a domain name through a company called ABC Domains, you would want HandmadedollsinSeattle.com as your address as opposed to abcdomains.handmadedolls.com. This not only helps with search engine optimization but also leads to a more authoritative look as potential clients find you.
A Local Business Leads Strategy is …
Essentially a soft sale.
Here is the thing most people forget when they are trying to build a customer base; this is nothing more than a sales position. The difference is a smaller company needs to focus more on a Columbo style close as opposed to a Wolf of Wall Street close.
If you are unfamiliar with either of those sales techniques, the basic idea is that the customer should be in the position of power. Let them sell themselves on your company as opposed to selling your company to them.
All of this local business leads strategy that gives you word of mouth referrals as well. Don't expect to be an overnight success either, let things grow slowly.
Talk to individuals about your company early on, and tell them how to find your site online. More traffic means you slowly rise up the search engine rankings.
Puff Your Chest Out a Bit – Show Off
While you want to stay humble and let the search engine optimization and word of mouth do their part for you, don't be afraid to tout the things that you have done that brought you notoriety or awards. You can do this easiest by displaying them in your shop, or under a special link on your web page.
Community involvement is one of those things that is falling to the wayside. It is also a place where you can leverage yourself in a way that most companies won't. If you are providing a service for people that you feel is important, talk to individuals about attending neighborhood watch meetings, or national night out meetings.
Offer to provide refreshments and bring some freebies with your company's information. In that sense you are selling yourself, without actually selling anything at all. If you aren't able to get out into the community in person, offer specials, advice or free samples through social media, on your website and in conjunction with other related companies.
Nothing leaves an impression like a one on one meeting with someone, and if you can't go door to door, leverage your strengths to meet large groups at once. Hosting a little get together at a coffee shop, or helping a community leader with their child's birthday party are all ways to take a very technical job back to something more personal. The local leads that come from that will be slow to grow, but once the ball gets rolling, you will be amazed at how well this multi-pronged focus on getting your name out there works.

Distribution of Quechua sub-groups. Kichwa is shown in blue.
Kichwa (Kichwa shimi, Runashimi, also Spanish Quichua) is a Quechuan language which includes all Quechua varieties of Ecuador and Colombia (Inga), as well as extensions into Peru, and is spoken by a million people. The most widely spoken dialects are Chimborazo and Imbabura Highland Kichwa, with one to two million and half a million to one million speakers, respectively. Cañar Highland Quecha has 100,000–200,000 speakers; the others in the range of ten to twenty thousand. Kichwa belongs to the Northern Quechua group of Quechua II (according to Alfredo Torero).
Kichwa syntax has undergone some grammatical simplification compared to Southern Quechua, perhaps due to partial creolization with the pre-Inca languages of Ecuador.
A standardized language with a unified orthography (Kichwa Unificado, Shukyachiska Kichwa) has been developed. It is similar to Chimborazo, less some of the phonological peculiarities of that dialect.
The earliest grammatical description of Kichwa was written in the 17th century by the Jesuit priest Hernando de Alcocer.[3]
In contrast to other regional varieties of Quechua, Kichwa does not distinguish between original ("Proto Quechua") /k/ and /q/, which are both pronounced [k]. Therefore, [e] and [o], the allophones of the vowels /i/ and /u/ near /q/, do not exist, and kiru can mean both "tooth" (kiru in Southern Quechua) and "wood" (qiru [qero] in Southern Quechua), and killa can mean both "moon" (killa) and "lazy" (qilla [qeʎa]).
Additionally, Kichwa in both Ecuador and Colombia has lost possessive and bidirectional suffixes (i.e. verbal suffixes indicating both subject and object), as well as the distinction between the exclusive and inclusive first person plural.
- Instead of yayayku / taytayku ("Our Father", the Lord's Prayer) Kichwa people say ñukanchik yaya / ñukanchik tayta.
- In Kichwa, you do not say suyayki ("I wait for you"), but kanta shuyani.
On the other hand, other particularities of Quechua have been preserved. As in all varieties of Quechua, the words for 'brother' and 'sister' differ depending on whom they refer to. There are four different words for siblings: ñaña (sister of a woman), turi (brother of a woman), pani (sister of a man), and wawki (brother of a man). A woman reading "Ñuka wawki Pedromi kan" would therefore read aloud Ñuka turi Pedromi kan.
The missionary organization FEDEPI (2006) lists eight dialects of Quechua in Ecuador, which they illustrate with the clause "the men will come in two days". (Ethnologue 16 (2009) lists nine, distinguishing Cañar from Loja Highland Quechua.) Below are the comparisons, along with Standard (Ecuadorian) Kichwa and Standard (Southern) Quechua:

ISLAMABAD -- At least two senior Pakistani Taliban were killed by gunmen in the northwestern tribal region on Monday, sources said, another of several blows to the rebels in recent weeks.
A former chief of Taliban decision-making council and the head of its financing committee were among four insurgents killed in North Waziristan district near the Afghan border, the sources said.Asmatullah Shaheen Bhittani, who headed the council until late last year, was killed along with three other militants when gunmen opened fire at their vehicle.
Taliban and military sources confirmed the deaths but did not say who was behind the attack.
The government had put a 10-million-rupee (95,000-dollar) bounty on Shaheen's head.
The attack occurred one day after Pakistani fighter jets bombed suspected militant hideouts in the Khyber tribal district for the third time in a week Sunday, killing 38 insurgents, officials said.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif last week authorized military action against the Islamist rebels for the first time since taking office in June.
Months of Sharif's efforts to develop a peace process failed after the Taliban said they had executed 23 soldiers, who had been in their custody since 2010.
At least 90 militants have been killed since then in what security officials called "precision and targeted airstrikes" carried out on the basis of "reliable intelligence."

Republicans in the state House and Senate increased their majorities in both chambers Tuesday. The gains were modest -- three in the 180-member House and one in the 56-member Senate. The big change, however, has to do with freshmen. About 20% of both chambers will be new members.

The evolution of the Hydro site
Matty Sutton, Reporter / / News
GLASGOW'S new £125million music venue has secured more than £2.5m of sponsorship – eight times more than originally expected.
And the latest deal for The Hydro Arena has seen drinks giant Heineken sign up to provide beer and cider to the venue.
Heineken is the second drinks supplier, following founding sponsors Coca-Cola to join the venture, alongside energy company Scottish Hydro, who secured the naming rights to the venue, and transport sponsor ScotRail.
Now a top SECC boss has said he is confident The Hydro, based beside the SECC, will be the most commercially successful venue in the UK, after The 02 Arena in London.
Peter Duthie, commercial director at the SECC, said: "Building on the achievement of attracting Scottish Hydro as the naming rights partner for 'The Hydro' we're confident that, aside from The O2 in London, The Hydro will be the most commercially successful venue in the UK.
"Annual sponsorship income in excess of £2.5m has already been secured.
"This is more than eight times the original business plan projection, which was based on what had been achieved at that time by other venues in the UK.
"Our strategic partnership with AEG Worldwide has helped to deliver these partnerships with some of the world's best known brands.

"Today's announcement of Heineken as our beer partner, added to Coca-Cola as the soft drinks partner, reflects the level of interest that The Hydro is attracting.
"The recent confirmation of ScotRail as our transport partner will soon be followed by other international brands in the banking, consumer electronics and savoury snacks markets.
"Further potential deals are being discussed in other business sectors, such as communication and cars.
"The current climate is difficult, but in these times the ability to provide direct access to highly targeted audiences is of even greater relevance and a major factor in our emerging success in this area."
The exclusive five-year deal with Heineken means they will supply draught and packaged lager, ale and cider, including Heineken, Foster's, Amstel, John Smith's Extra Smooth, Strongbow and Bulmers, to patrons of the 12,000 seater arena.
Coca-Cola will supply their full range of soft drinks at concerts and events at the arena, while ScotRail hope to encourage music fans to use Finnieston station – only three minutes away – to get to and from concerts.
John Gemmell, Trading Director-North for Heineken, said: "We are proud to partner the SECC in this landmark development for Scotland.
"The partnership will allow us to showcase best-in-class brand activation and the superb opportunity it offers for customer hospitality will significantly enhance our engagement with the trade.
"With more than two million visitors expected per year, the SECC and new Hydro complex will provide outstanding prestige and exposure for our business and our brands."
The Hydro, which is due to open next September, is expected to host around 140 events each year.
Projections suggest the venue has the potential to generate an extra £131m in revenue for Glasgow.
With an audience of one million visitors each year, The Hydro aims to be one of the top five indoor music arenas in the world, ranking alongside such famous venues such as New York's Madison Square Gardens and London's O2 arena.
It has already lined up London comedian and Mock the Week regular Micky Flanagan to play the new venue, on October 10 next year, followed by former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel, on October 24.
On December 7 – just under a year from now– it will be the turn of JLS to take to the stage.
And The Hydro will also host the MOBO awards in 2013, as well as the gymnastics and netball events for Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Meanwhile, the final touches to the ground breaking roof design are in place, after a temporary supporting tower was successfully removed.
The huge domed roof is now self-supporting.
In May, the 330 tonne central section of the roof was lifted into place and in October construction workers held a 'topping out' ceremony to celebrate the last bolt being tightened up.

Best Cosmopolitan (2008)
Merc Bar
When it came time to round up our 10 best girlfriends for the long-awaited Sex and the City movie, we knew there was only one place to go afterward, for a round of cosmopolitans: Merc Bar. We love this Biltmore hotspot because it's not only dark and sexy but comfy — the perfect place to talk, sip, and ogle eye candy. We particularly love the cosmopolitans: classic pink tartness in an elegant glass. To quote Samantha Jones, "What could be more fabulous?"

- Jeff Crum
I started training at Pama several years ago and I can honestly say it has had a huge impact on my life. I will be forever grateful for all that I've gotten from my time at the school. What Guy and Rob have built is like no other place you can find, great people, great atmosphere.

Our first experience with a martial arts academy and we couldn't be happier. The instructors all love what they do and it's evident in their teaching. Our daughter started training here over a year ago and it looked so fun that I signed on as well. There's a real feeling of family and camaraderie at Pendergrass.

It feels like Dan Aykroyd hasn't been around for a while, but that's only because I refused to see Yogi Bear, barely noticed him as the Vice President in War, Inc. and refused (again) to see I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. So he hasn't been retired or anything, but it's sure felt like it.
Nevertheless, he'll be coming out of that non-retirement for Dog Fight, the political comedy starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis as two South Carolinians who have their sights on the presidency. According to Movie Hole, the Oscar nominated actor is on board, but the role isn't specified. Hopefully this won't further delay that certain, ghost-bustin' sequel Aykroyd has been steadily working on. I'm speaking, of course, about My Stepmother is an Alien 2.
The capable Jay Roach is directing a script from Chris Henchy (The Other Guys, and producer of many, many other movies) and Shawn Harwell (Eastbound and Down). Smash all that together, and it feels like reason for mild excitement.

Remember Symbian?
You can't really call it a smartphone battle royale when the only armies on the battlefield are Android and iOS.
The latest data from market research firm comScore underscores the old adage 'The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.' In terms of mobile market share, Google and Apple are the two fat cats living high on the hog, while Microsoft, Research In Motion, and Symbian fight over the leftover scraps, and there were less to go around in January 2012.
It turns out all the rumors were true. When it was still early in the morning today for North America, Nokia made a big announcement in their Capital Market Day conference. Nokia, led by CEO (and former Microsofty) Stephen Elop, has entered into a "strategic alliance" with Microsoft.
For a company trying to reassert its relevance in the cell phone market by going after the high-end smartphone segment, Nokia sure has taken its time getting its E7 out the door. This flagship device is finally available for purchase, provided make your way to Helsinki, Finland or one of Nokia's other flagship stores, GSMArena.com reports.

Publisher's Description
A Million Little Ways uncovers the creative, personal imprint of God on every individual. It invites the discouraged parent, the bored Christian, the exhausted executive to look at their lives differently by approaching their critics, their jobs, and the kids around their table the same way an artist approaches the canvas--with wonder, bravery, and hope. In her gentle, compelling style, Emily Freeman encourages readers to turn down the volume on their inner critic and move into the world with the courage to be who they most deeply are. She invites regular people to see the artistic potential in words, gestures, attitudes, and relationships. Readers will discover the art in a quiet word, a hot dinner, a made bed, a grace-filled glance, and a million other ways of showing God to the world through the simple human acts of listening, waiting, creating, and showing up.

mountainsAlberta CanadaAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Packs a million powerful punchesNovember 28, 2013mountainsAlberta CanadaAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This amazing little book is jammed packed with golden nuggets of all shapes and sizes ... a million different ways you can gain insight, inspiration and courage packed into this wonderful item. Emily P Freeman has done a wonderful job of breaking down barriers, opening dark closets and sweeping out unused corners in my life from her book A Million Little Ways. A true delight.
Originally I found her poetic style of writing a little confusing and even distracting. However the more I dove into the book and allowed her whimsical flow to rest with me, the more I began to see and understand her message. It isn't a concrete message - like facts or formulas. Instead Emily draws you to a new way of thinking like an excellent story-teller does.
Who do I think should buy and read this book? Anyone who has ever wondered, is this all I am supposed to be? Or do? Or experience?
Emily believes we all have a job to do as believers but what that "job" looks like can be expressed in ... A Million Little Ways. And, as Emily says in her book, "I can't imagine anything more dangerous to the enemy of our hearts than people who know who they are."
So often we become consumed with the practical, the minute-by-minute and the never-ending to-do lists that are the constructs of our lives. Yet, that takes our focus off God and onto us, changing us. Emily says, "I am no longer an image bearer (of God) with a job to do. I become a job-doer with an image to maintain."
This book will enlighten, enrich and entertain you beyond your expectations. It did for me.

VicsMediaRoomIrvine, CAAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Help To Express Our CreativityNovember 17, 2013VicsMediaRoomIrvine, CAAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Emily P. Freeman in her new book "A Million Little Ways" published by Revell Books focuses on letting go of the try-hard life.
From the Back Cover: Do you desperately fear you have nothing to offer the world but secretly hope you're wrong?
You were born to make art. You were made to live art. You might not see yourself as an artist, but you are-in so many unexpected ways. In what you create, whether poetry or pie, sculpture or sand castle, calligraphy or conversation. It's time to uncover the shape of your soul, turn down the voice of the inner critic, and move into the world with the courage to be who you most deeply are.
Creating a life of meaning is not about finding that one great thing you were made to do, it's about knowing the one great God you were made to glorify-in a million little ways.
Why do we all go to museums? Because inside those walls are housed beautiful works of art ranging from exquisite paintings to super realistic statues that can captivate our interest, sometimes, for hours and bring us back to see them again and again. We are the creation of God, made in His likeness. Therefore since He is a creator then we are creators as well. God makes His creations from scratch we use whatever elements that are available. However that does not limit any of us and we all have that ability all that separates us is the medium we use to do our creating. Emily Freeman understands that and in "A Million Little Ways" she helps focus our creative energy and let the power of God live through us express our creativity.
Ms. Freeman divides the book into three parts. Part One: Who is the artist? Part Two: Uncover The Art You Were Born To Make. Part Three: Release The Art You Were Made To Live. It is time we stopped holding back our creativity and let it go. Better for us and better for the world because once they see what we can do then we can be a help to release the creative energy within them. Then our world will be filled with really beautiful treasures. I recommend this book highly!!

a million little ways by emily p. freeman ~ uncover the art you were made to live ©2013
He comes into us, then comes out of us in a million little ways.
pp27-28 ~ We are colanders filled with glory-water. Our best efforts are spent trying to cover the seeping holes with not enough fingers. God's glory demands display. Yet sometimes when we get a glimpse of it, when we taste something we come alive doing, when we feel that sense of purpose wake up within us, we become terrified. And so instead, we spend our time looking for plastic bags to catch it before it pours out, wasted.
We want to be something more sensible, more practical. Something like a jar with a lid. No holes. No glory leaks.
Let's control it, contain it. Let's be reasonable.
In this action, we have forgotten who we are.
Surely God has another way to display his glory. Surely he doesn't intend to do it through me.
Is there anyone else in all of Scripture who can declare glory like a living, breathing poem? There is only one other place this exact word poiema, or workmanship, is used.
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made [poiema], they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
(Rom. 1:20)
Beautiful book! I would need to write all of it out for you to express God's glory in us. He has redeemed us and called us His own. No greater glory ~ He is all of it!!
2 Cor 4:6-11,16-18 (NIV) For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ... Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Open up into God's potential for you... for me. We are indeed His workmanship made for His glory. To express Him through our syrofoam cups given over to the Potter of our souls. How glorious He is!!!
~*expressing ourselves for His glory*~

Ah, don't worry about it.....It gives them false hope....I guess if it weren't for false hope there wouldn't be any hope at all.....LOL
What they don't realize and I find insulting as a women is that what seems to be forgotten is that Obama's Mother is a American Women born and bred..That from what I read any child that is born to a American is considered a Citizen of America....I guess it only applies to the men or what would be the father....But not the mother, am I correct in saying that, at least that is my impression of it....
