Peta2's silent scream
1633 days ago
I went to Warped Tour of '11 and the CD the person tabling really changed my life. I was mainly only willing to watch it since I saw "The Ready Set" and "Never Shout Never" on the back of it. When I had the chance to watch it, the end of the video is what had really scarred me. It showed factory farms, I am not entirely sure it was "Meet Your Meat" though. I had ended up crying from the video. At the time I was still eating fish but no poultry and other meat, that video made me decide to become a full fledged vegetarian, and a vegan in later life. After that video I went onto the peta2 website and saw all the causes on there, just not only campaigns against meat. Now here I am becoming an animal activist.(:

In my honest opinion i would have to say that "meet your meat" completely changed my view on the world and opened my heart to be more compassionate to all animals. This was the first animal rights video i ever watched and this was the reason i became vegetarian, the video really hit me hard and opened my eyes to the harsh cruel reality that is the truth, and i just could not be a part of it anylonger.

Paul McCartney's video, Glass Walls, was super informative and really changed my perspective on the farming industry. The video looked at the multiple forms of food farming, from fish farming to the dairy industry. Really disturbing, hard hitting video.

I would honestly have to say PETA2's video "Meet your Meat" changed my view of a lot of things. After my best friend made me watch that video, she asked me to go vegetarian with her and I did. That was a long time ago it seems and it changed my beliefs drastically.

Meet your meat definitely.

The video Meet your Meat changed the way I viewed everything.I was twelve when I started,which was two years ago,but when I saw that video,it made me realize just how much they suffer,just so we can eat them.
It's just not right,or fair!

Wow those are so insanely awesome!!! But the video that completely changed my life is meet your meat that was linked on your website, I can NEVER look at meat the same again, all I see when I look at meat is a terrified face that never asked or deserved any of the horrible torture and cruelty that was forced on to them 🙁 I can never unsee that video so I will never forget and never stop speaking up for whats right! Thank you for helping me see what is right 🙂

I got the free dvd "Animals Don't Smoke" at Warped Tour this summer and it featured many of my favorite bands and they explained why they are vegan or vegetarian. Watching that dvd made me realize how cruel animals are treated for our food. Its extremely disgusting. Thanks Peta for bringing me to the light!(:

Dear Atlanta city council,
I'm writing you in the support of legal ban on bull hooks that are being used
to abuse and torment elephents. I use to think that the circuses and zoos were
in support of animals rights, but the more I learn on the torture being brought
upon them, the less I would ever want to support them. No human would ever get
away with doing this to another human so why must an elephant have to.
Please ban this act of torture, there is no excuse for it.
Thank you for reading, Ariel Podgurski

Which Peta2 Video has impacted my life the most? Hands down, I have to say the Meet Your Meat video. Not only was it educational, but it really put a new look on things. I have been borderline vegetarian my entire life, but after that video, I committed to Vegetarianism completely. The video was heart breaking and disgusting. After learning about the cancerous lesions and illnesses, I have been turned off by meat forever. Seeing animals dismembered and murdered while still conscious was tragic and unbelievable. I have shared this video with so many people and I feel I have made a difference in people's opinions towards my lifestyle choice. I cry every time I see this video. This video has definitely made the largest impact out of all of the videos on Peta2. I thank you for this video because it has changed my life.

The "Meet your Meat" video changed my view on the world. Before I saw it, I had no idea how cruel the meat industry is. I was under the impression that the animals were killed quickly and painlessly. I'm glad to know the truth so I can stop supporting such cruelty!
1641 days ago
I'm not sure if it was your video, but the video that most got to me was footage of the abuse that happens in factory farms, with the song Free Me. I never really supported those companies, cause I've grown to love and care for animals, but it made me want to shun myself and the whole humanity for even THINKING of doing such a cruel thing. So ya… And I love the song cause it fits so well 🙂

The videos that really flipped-turned my world (I just read the thing lol) had to be "If Slaughterhouses Had Glass Walls", I shared that all over Facebook and played it all the time at school which caught people's interest and turned a lot of people vegetarian, maybe not vegan but it is a start. I showed the fur one and one girl actually threw up! It's so sad what they did to the poor animals!!! I think every video changed my life forever and I will NEVER go back to harming animals. Thank you Peta/Peta2 for changing my life forever!!!

When will it be back in stock to buy? D;
I go to an "all laptop no books/hands-on" school and would love to buy them for friends!!!

All the videos have had a huge impact on me. I can't watch alot of them cause it nearly brings me to tears. I just can't believe the way farmers and people harm animals its not right. I could really use these for my new laptop which I'm getting for my birthday early present. I love I'm not a nugget stickers I have little one on all my moms meat in her freezer that she also hasn't touched in a while due to me showing her videos. Thank y'all for showing what really goes on. Rock on peta.

It may not have been just PETA that changed my view of the world, but also my metamorphosis into adulthood. When I began to do things on my own, such as buying groceries, clothes, ect., I became more aware just home much one person can have an impact on something. I researched more into animal cruelty in an attempt to live in a way that I could feel comfortable with myself and I found PETA soon afterwards. I have to say, the Vegan College Cookbook has really saved my life all throughout high school and even now through my first semester in college. I've even got some of my friends to go meatless a couple of times a week. Since PETA has come into my life, it has made the extra step I needed to go cruelty free so much easier. Thank you so very much!!

I have been vegan for my whole life, so it wasn't Meet Your Meat…..I guess it would have to be all of the ones about animal experimentation. They made me cry :'(

Meet your Meat was the video that pushed me to becoming a vegetarin.

Meet your Meat changed my life! I had a crush on this guy who was a vegetarian. He was always talking about animal rights and I considered going veg to impress him, but when he showed me Meet your Meat, I knew I had to do this for the animals. Two and a half years later, I am still vegetarian even though that guy I liked is not. In one month I move out for college and plan on becoming vegan!

Its definately meet your meat.

Humm that's hard, I would think meet your meat, but that's not by peta2, right? Well recently, I think 'the glass box' really opened my eyes to how cruel animal test really are.
1643 days ago
I have to say, there's been a couple. The first Peta video I ever saw was, I believe "Meet your meat" or some variation thereof a few years back. I was already a vegetarian but it inspired me to do more for animal rights. Just recently, however, a video called Silent Scream about fish got me back into the animal activist scene. It saddens me how many people assume fish don't really "count" as meat because they're "just fish". As far as I'm concerned every living creature has the right to live without needless interruption or cruelty from humans, be they insects, fish, or mammals. Thanks to Silent Scream I've gotten back on the bandwagon and am once more proudly waving my animal rights flag.
1643 days ago
Definitely Meet your Meat.
I was already vegetarian, but this led me to trying veganism (which I'm still struggling with, but it's getting easier!) Before seeing this video I had thought animals in slaughter houses were killed quickly without pain. The truth changed my view on the world and meat.
1643 days ago
The "Animals Don't Smoke" videos. I never knew they were doing those things to them.
1643 days ago
"Meet your Meat" changed my whole perception on slaughter. Everybody wants to believe that the cow lived a happy life, and it died pain-free. But in reality, they live a terrible life. And they are tortured to death. I love to scream out "GO VEG!" to the world. And it's what I do best! I'm glad I became a vegetarian, and it changed me for the better! 🙂

The Meet Your Meat video has impacted my outlook on life and how I see the meat around me. When I first watched that video on http://www.peta.org, I wanted to immediately do what I can and possibly even become a vegan. That took time, so I decided to become a vegetarian. I'm still working on that progress, but driving by McDonalds reminds me of that video and I suddenly get a sick feeling in my stomach. I think back on how much meat I have eaten in my lifetime and I regret not knowing about the slaughtered animals sooner. I met my meat and it changed my life.

Meet your meat :/

Meet Your Meat is what really spoke to me. By the time I watched it, I was already vegetarian, and on my way to becoming the vegan and activist I am today. That video was the catalysts for some of the biggest changes in my life, though. It's a large part of the reason that I am currently an activist instead of just being another passive vegan. I share this video with everyone who has ever questioned me about veganism and I find it to at least be effective in getting the point across. The fact that it gets the key facts across to people without making them sit through 30+ minutes of footage is why this is my go to video for changing minds <3

The video about the animal trade the pocket pets one! It made me cry to see hedgehogs and sugar gliders and these little animals in such pains! I could not imagine my little Sniffles (he's a hedgehog) like that! It breaks my heart </3

Design Insiders' Weekly Finds: September 23
Bloggers, editors, and designers share their favorite links from around the Web
"When Grange asked me to create a virtual vignette with one of their new Tray Chic tables, I knew I wanted to go big with color, add a bright gleam with brass light fixtures and accessories, and layer new and vintage pieces. It was a crash course in creating a room on Polyvore, and I'm now hooked. It makes planning a space easy and shows how everything hangs together. Is this the way of the future? It certainly is a start."
—Marisa Marcantonio, Stylebeat
"We recently discovered a new website called Beldi that specializes in authentic Moroccan products. We especially like the Middle Atlas Travel Carpet. The texture and colors are fabulous and we would love to see it in a home office layered over a sisal rug and paired with an antique desk, ergonomic chair, and industrial bookcase."
—Britt Binet, Decorate Your Digs
"My husband Steve and I are starting to design our next personal home, Patina Farm, and we are obsessed with the hardware designs by Peter VanCronenburg. Located in Ghent, Belgium, Peter creates gorgeous, handcrafted pieces inspired by his extensive collection of antique hardware. And because he likes the authenticity of naturally aged metal, he doesn't use any varnishes or faux finishes"
—Brooke Giannetti
"Most people don't know that I'm secretly planning my expat life in the Caribbean. So while I was participating in Design Caribbean, a showcase of designers from the Caribbean region, I was also shopping for my imagined future home. Since I love to cook I was excited to discover Trinidadian designer Marlon Darbeau's "Dish Out" salad server set. It's the perfect marriage of traditional craft and modern design."

Former Rock couple celebrate 50th wedding anniversary
STOCKTON, Calif. – Ron and Janet Weldum celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends on March 30 in Ripon, Calif., near their home in Stockton. Ron and the former Janet Makela were married on March 30, 1963 in Rock.
Ron, son of Albert and Selma Weldum, attended Rock High School where he met and fell in love with Janet, daughter of Nicky and Nellie Kivioja also of Rock. Ron graduated from high school in 1958 and Janet in 1960. Ron attended Michigan Technological University where he graduated with a degree in civil engineering in 1963. Janet worked as a nurse's aid at St. Francis Hospital in Escanaba until her marriage.
As a child, Ron worked at the local bowling alley and cheese factory and became an avid hunter and fisherman, making extra money trapping on his father's land. Janet worked on the family farm, milking cows and playing in the woods. Her favorite memories are watching the animals and enjoying nature.
Immediately after their marriage, the couple honeymooned on Route 66 to California where Ron had a job waiting for him with the California Division of Highways (currently known as Cal Trans). During his career, Ron worked for the California Division of Highways, the City of Stockton, owned his own engineering company and worked for a private developer. He ultimately retired from the City of Stockton and is currently enjoying hunting and fishing, working part time to assist with engineering projects in the community, and spending time with family and friends.
Janet worked at St. Joseph's Hospital in Stockton as a nurse's aid for many years and at the local elementary school cafeteria where her children attended school. She is an avid homemaker, gardener, crafter and bird watcher, and has a chicken coop, which supplies the family with many fresh organic eggs.
The Weldums are the parents of a daughter, Sheila (Glenn) Ross of Stockton, born in 1965, and a son Larry, born in 1967. Larry died in an automobile accident in 1988.
They also have a grandson, Steven Weldum, who served for four years in the U.S. Army and returned from Afghanistan to his home in Stockton in March.
Ron and Janet are spending their retirement years enjoying life by hunting, fishing, their 4-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, "Chevy", gardening, crafting and spending time with family and friends.
They travel back to Rock on a regular basis to visit with family and friends and recall cherish memories from their childhood.

Typical signages both indoor and outdoor may no longer attract a lot of attention or may even be considered as boring. According to market researchers, the future is all about interactive digital signages and Intel Corp., along with Taiwanese Advantech, AU Optronics and Qisda, have formed a joint venture, Digital Signage SIG, to tap the global market for such products, according to Taiwan Economic News.
DS SIG noted that digital signages are used in public spaces as a new outdoor advertising display, of which contents can be changed easier and shown in either animations or images to entertain and advertise better than traditional banners. In fact, ad via the electronic product has proven efficient to arouse consumer demand and drive up sales of products in connection with the billboard by about 30%. Additionally, digital signages can pass information to consumers more efficiently.
According to market tracker iSuppli, the demand for digital signages is expected to sustain a strong annual growth of over 30% between 2005 and 2010, when the products will totally substitute conventional large-sized signages as typical outdoor advertising tools on the globe.
Intel reportedly projects that in 2015 there will be more than 15 million units of embedded device servers worldwide, with digital signages to serve as a major growth drive for demand for the products. In other words, application of digital signages will open a new window for display panel makers to carve out new niches, in addition to current TVs and PCs.

United Airlines reports (08-Feb-2010) the following traffic highlights on trans-Atlantic services in Jan-2010:
- Passenger traffic (RPMs): +6.9% year-on-year;
- Load factor: 76.7%, +4.7 ppts.
United Airlines reports (08-Feb-2010) the following traffic highlights on trans-Atlantic services in Jan-2010:
For the first time ever in Europe, in 2016 a low cost airline carried more passengers than any other airline or airline group, as Ryanair's 117 million passengers pushed Lufthansa Group's 110 million into second place. Ryanair had beaten Lufthansa itself, but not the whole Lufthansa Group. IAG's first full year of including Aer Lingus helped it to take third place from Air France-KLM. Europe's number two LCC, easyJet, was ranked fifth.
The big five can be expanded into a big seven to include Turkish Airlines and the Aeroflot Group, although these two had contrasting growth rates in 2016. A chasing pack of middle sized airline groups includes three LCCs (Norwegian, Pegasus and Wizz Air) and three legacy airlines with varying challenges to establishing sustainable profitability (SAS, Air Berlin Group and Alitalia).
Most of the faster growing airline groups in the top 20 are LCCs and the main growth drivers for Europe's big three legacy groups are their LCC subsidiaries. Just outside the top 20 are some fast growing legacy airlines in Eastern Europe, demonstrating the potential there. Nevertheless, unless there is a big merger or acquisition, Ryanair looks set to remain at number one for some time.
Norwegian plans to add US routes to its Edinburgh base, a development considered in part 1 of this report, adding to its growing list of European long haul bases. However, its Edinburgh-US routes will use new Boeing 737MAX-8 aircraft – its first deployment of narrowbodies for long haul. It has also ordered 30 Airbus A321neoLRs for long haul use. Narrowbodies open up new possibilities for routes between the UK (or other European markets) and the US east coast.
Norwegian also plans to add non-US destinations to its UK long haul network, with details expected during the course of 2017. Norwegian's flexibility to develop its long haul operations from the UK would be improved by the grant of a US foreign carrier permit to its UK-registered subsidiary, Norwegian Air UK.
Norwegian has had to surmount many obstacles to build and grow its global network – which may also include Latin America in 2017, when it will accelerate long haul ASK growth to 60%. However its rapid expansion, currently driven mainly by long haul growth, has led to a rapid increase in debt, and is likely to weigh on unit revenue. Norwegian's undoubted strategic innovation can only be sustained if it is financially successful.

by John MacArthur
I never could believe in the Jesus Christ of some people, for the Christ in whom they believe is simply full of affectionateness and gentleness, whereas I believe there never was a more splendid specimen of manhood, even its sternness, than the Savior; and the very lips which declared that He would not break a bruised reed uttered the most terrible anathemas upon the Pharisees. –Charles Spurgeon
Modern writers, agnostic academics, and liberal theologians always stress the kindness and gentleness of Christ. Their Jesus—not the One found in Scripture, but the one concocted from their own imaginations and preferences—is effectively an ideological and theological pacifist. He preached only love and self-sacrifice, never judged or discriminated, and wasn't dogmatic about the truth. In effect, the Jesus they've manufactured pleads "Can't we all just get along?" with people of all faiths.
That perspective betrays a deep and dangerous ignorance of the truth about Christ, the exclusivity of the gospel He preached, and how He confronted religious error. Even the kindest, gentlest shepherd sometimes needs to throw rocks at the wolves who come in sheep's clothing.
The Great Shepherd Himself was never far from open controversy with the most conspicuously religious inhabitants in all of Israel. Almost every chapter of the gospels makes some reference to His running battle with the chief hypocrites of His day, and He made no effort whatsoever to be winsome in His encounters with them. He did not invite them to dialogue or engage in a friendly exchange of ideas.
In fact, Jesus' public ministry was barely underway when He invaded what they thought was their turf—the temple grounds in Jerusalem—and went on a righteous rampage against their mercenary control of Israel's worship. He did the same thing again during the final week before His crucifixion, immediately after His triumphal entry into the city.
One of His last major public discourses was the solemn pronunciation of seven woes against the scribes and Pharisees. These were formal curses against them. That sermon was the furthest thing from a friendly dialogue. Matthew's record of it fills an entire chapter (Matthew 23), and it is entirely devoid of any positive or encouraging word for the Pharisees and their followers.
Luke distills and summarizes the entire message in three short verses:
And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets, who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation." (Luke 20:45-47)
And while all the people were listening, He said to the disciples, "Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets, who devour widows' houses, and for appearance's sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation." (Luke 20:45-47)
That is a perfect summary of Jesus' dealings with the Pharisees. It is a blistering denunciation—a candid diatribe about the seriousness of their error. There is no conversation, no collegiality, no dialogue, and no cooperation. Only confrontation, condemnation, and (as Matthew records) curses against them.
Jesus' compassion is certainly evident in two facts that bracket this denunciation. First, Luke says that as He drew near the city and observed its full panorama for this final time, He paused and wept over it (Luke 19:41-44). And second, Matthew records a similar lament at the end of the seven woes (Matthew 23:37). So we can be absolutely certain that as Jesus delivered this diatribe, His heart was full of compassion.
Yet that compassion is directed at the victims of the false teaching, not the false teachers themselves. There is no hint of sympathy, no proposal of clemency, no trace of kindness, no effort on Jesus' part to be "nice" toward the Pharisees. Indeed, with those words Jesus formally and resoundingly pronounced their doom and then held them up publicly as a warning to others.
This is the polar opposite of any invitation to dialogue. He doesn't say: "They're basically good guys. They have pious intentions. They have some valid spiritual insights. Let's have a conversation with them." Instead, He says: "Keep your distance. Be on guard against their lifestyle and their influence. Follow them, and you are headed for the same condemnation they are."
Jesus' approach would surely earn Him a resounding outpouring of disapproval from today's postmodern culture. Exclusive truth, discriminating instruction, and confrontational teaching simply don't fit the "good teacher" narrative the world promotes. In fact, by today's standards, Jesus' words about the Pharisees and His treatment of them are horrifyingly inappropriate.
Christ wasn't an ideological pacifist. He knew which fights to fight, and He stood up for the truth with clarity and—when necessary—severity. But that kind of commitment to and love for the truth is totally foreign to modern society, so they either dismiss or ignore it.
More and more these days, people are talking about Jesus, but what they're saying has no biblical basis. We need to do what we can to shatter the phony caricatures the world has developed, and bring people face to face with the Christ revealed in the pages of Scripture.

Hooray for John! We have been faced with the painful (and frustrating!) task of confronting false teaching from a well known pastor that our pastor has become "enamored" of. We have done tons of research on this man and his beliefs. One of the invaluable tools (next to the Bible) has been GTY and videos of John on the internet confronting different sinful ideas or lifestyles. The contrast between this man and John is extreme. For example, I watched video of this man and John both asked about the sinfulness of homosexuality. The other man could barely bring himself to say it was sin and said "sin doesn't send you to hell." He talked around and around the issue revealing his true valuation of the Word of God. John sat next to a practicing homosexual and without pause or equivocation upheld the truth of God's Word. He also was totally respectful and even compassionate to the other man but with no compromise or attempt to be "nice." We are beaten over the head with charges to be loving and tolerant. The biggest sin to many these days is for someone to be judgmental, which apparently is defined as saying that something is wrong even though God has already judged it wrong! How many times have we been told, "Well, Jesus ate with the sinners!" Apparently they were singing folk songs and telling each other, "I'm alright, you're alright!"
We desperately need to hear that Jesus taught repentance from sin not acceptance of sin...and apparently we need to start in church. Praise God that John and GTY realize that Jesus was teaching repentance- for the salvation of souls from the damning power of sin...and that's the nicest thing anyone could do for you!

Praise the God of all creation for giving us a teacher like John MacArthur! All truth with clarity. Helping me understand and not quench the Living Holy Spirit within me. Thank you so much Pastor, teacher John MacArthur.

Thanks for another great post John. When I think about the complex mixture of our Lord's emotions in Luke 19-20 and Matthew 23--His love for the flock, and sorrow for Jerusalem, coupled with His hatred for those teachers that attempt to harm or deceive His people--it always reminds me of some of the storms we get in Texas. All at once: one side of the sky is dark purple, and the other side is clear, bright blue and sunny (but softly raining).
On a similar note, it seems to me that some of the false teachers of the 21st century are becoming a little harder to detect than those of the past; their doctrine/ideas are becoming a little more sound and reformed. Unfortunately, a proper understanding of God by a false teacher only makes him more devilish, in my opinion. Some of the classic false teachers that you've mentioned in your latest sermons (e.g., O. Roberts) are so comically false that they are easy to pick out, like the easy questions on an exam. But these new ones seem a little tougher, to the point where I waiver on some as to whether they are real or fake. But the bearing of their fruit requires time, and so time will always tell!
Praise almighty God for the wisdom and knowledge of His word. I must agree with Nancy, the teaching of the word that comes from pastor, teacher John MacArthur is excellent. Since i found gty my life as never been the same, i am more empowered in my spiritual walk., i feel like i just start living my christian life all over again. Thank you pastor John for such a wonderful work in explaining the scripture.
Thank you for this blog, Pastor.
I studied with a teacher who proclaimed that God never cursed anyone, and a watered down doctrine on standing on the word of God. I began to compromise in my life, putting up with ungodly actions. I thank God that He was merciful to me and brought me out of that bible class. I have had to "unlearned" many things. I am so grateful for the good sound teaching I get from GTY.
Amen brother!
This is a very timely post in light of the Pope's recent statement that even atheists can go to heaven.
I wish the whole world could read this. Just this week I really thanked our Lord for John Macarthur.
I thank the Lord daily for speaking truth through brother MacArthur in this dark deceiving world. The Bible is clear, we have to understand God's judging wrath before understanding His great love.
YAY!!!! Thank you Pastor MacArthur for speaking the truth and showing that our Lord is the One of strength.
Thank you for sharing this Pastor MacArthur (and GTY staff).
Unfortunately, there ARE too many false teachings about Jesus today in: books, films, movies, blogs and even sermons where the christ that's preached is not the Christ of the Bible.
In March of this year, I was contacted by the History Channel's media people asking if I would like to review and help promote their version of "The Bible" mini-series (produced and written by Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett). Prior to their contacting me I had heard nothing about it. So, I prayed and began watching the movie...it was heretical AND blasphemous and I was disgusted. It was difficult to watch, but I felt I needed to in order to write a proper review of it.
When I published my review on my blog (http://www.sunnyshell.org/2013/03/history-channels-bible-exalts-man-over_4.html), I was surprised to receive many unkind and mean responses from professing Christians who loved the movie and said I was being judgmental and Pharisaical because I pointed out that the Jesus they (Roma Downey and Mark Burnett) represented was not one who is holy, righteous or just, but only "loving" by the world's definitions, and not by God's.
Though there were many who were grateful for the review, I was very sad about the numerous professing Christians (even a sister in Christ and graduate of DTS) who told me that I was wrong to publish my review because this mini-series was a great tool to share the Gospel with the lost. WHAT???
I reminded her that whatever we win people with is what we win them too. If we win them with a false christ, then that's who've we've won them to and now have done one of the meanest things a Christian can do...give someone false eternal security.
Please pray for the Body of Christ Pastor MacArthur. We're being deceived by the world's depiction of the false Jesus and we're taking THAT to a lost and dying world, rather than giving them true hope in the one and only God and Savior.
Funny this subject just came up as I just finished reading The Jesus You Can't Ignore: An Interview with Phil Johnson and John MacArthur from back in 2009. It's a great break down of this subject and Phil mentioned something that was quite poignant -: ]
"What you're saying here, and especially the idea that truth is worth fighting for, might strike some of our listeners, even Christian listeners as shocking or politically incorrect or possibly even offensive; because we live in a culture that says it's okay to fight for personal rights but not for personal convictions"
And that's just so true.
Truth! The Lord bless you Pastor !
When asked is Jesus Nice? To me He (Jesus Christ) is nice to those who come to the truth of His saving Knowledge, to those who have accepted Him as personal Savior and Lord, He is More than nice, He is gracious in all things. But to none believers who are self centered, self minded, hypocrites, who think of himself as someone higher than anyone else, better, richer, perfect in all and all knowing, what would you think? He isn't nice to those who follow the worldly system by the prince of the power of the air, an Antichrist, and like the hypocritical people the Pharisees, selfish leader in government, and people worship themselves+money, wow what do you think? No to these people. God is not nice to them.
Thank you John. There is so much compromise in the world today-sometimes it's just a thin line between right and wrong as the enemy cleverly disguises the truth with its lies. I thank God for servants of God like you who uphold God's truth no matter what. I listen to your sermons everyday when i drive to work and this has richly blessed me. I share the sermons with my wife.
Thank you again John. God Bless you and your family.
Re:"coupled with His hatred for those teachers". Jesus did not hate people, just their actions.
Anita (16), Jesus hated those who were confident in teaching and promoting perversions of God's holy law- burdening the sheep of His pasture beyond their ability to worship the Shepherd they so longingly desired to worship. The indignant wrath He had for these teachers goes beyond hating only their actions. The rotten fruit produced by the sinful rebellious hearts of these pedagogues stirred divine wrath in the heart of God toward them.
The prophets of Baal weren't led to the Kishon stream to sunbathe. See 1 Kings 18:40
Pastor John MacArthur and the GTY staff post these blogs, written for you, me, and others, in genuine love and sincerity in order to build us up in the truth; fruit produced over years and years of deep love and diligent study of the wonderful truth of Scripture-not sentimental deceptions formulated to give an illusion of our glorious Lord and Savior, but a crystal clear perspective on Who Jesus really is. He is Holy and He calls His elect to be holy also.
I'm open to correction here but I don't know whether Jesus actually hated the Pharisee's per se. There's one account, apart from Paul of a Pharisee being saved, namely Nicodemus who was a member of the Sanhedrin. He certainly hated their fraudulent system and I would assume verses like Matthew 5:44 and Luke 23:34 would kind of declare his love for them.
I know Matthew 23 absolutely condemns them too so I don't know - just saying. The Pharisees attributed the works of the Messiah to Satan, which is about as low as one can go and Jesus simply played a game of escalado with them, he upped them every time and my take on it is that in order to do that he had to speak very very harshly and truthfully - but perhaps stopping short of hatred?

Let's focus on the cost of college
The average U.S. college student walks off campus with about $26,500 in student loan debt, much of it in government-subsidized low-interest loans. Typically, students have 10 years to pay off the debt.
Members of Congress now are under fire because interest rates on new Stafford loans have increased to 6.8 percent, up from 3.4 percent. Analysts say that will add about $2,600 to the typical student's debt load – less than $22 a month on a 10-year repayment.
Largely for political reasons, President Barack Obama and liberal lawmakers are accusing conservatives in Congress of failing their responsibility to young Americans.
But conservatives worry that the government cannot afford deficit spending on programs such as student loans. They are right.
Consider this: An American college graduate's share of the national debt is about $53,000 – twice the average student loan burden. And somehow, some way, the national debt will have to be paid, too.
In some ways, the cost of a college education is like the cost of health care. We tend to focus on how to pay for it, rather than on why it costs so much in the first place. When people have health insurance, they tend not to question the high cost of the medical tests and procedures they receive. With college tuition, as long as the government is providing grants, low-rate loans and financing, students aren't going to question why it costs so much to attend college, or ask whether the college could be using its funds more efficiently.
Lowering the cost of education will be much more effective at reducing college loan debt than groaning about the interest rate government charges.

Skip to comments.Obama's New Name? Barack Black Eagle
Posted on 05/19/2008 6:27:31 PM PDT by Baladas
ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Traveling though Montana on Monday, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., made his first stop as a presidential candidate to an Indian reservation - and got a little more than expected.
Obama was adopted as an honorary member into the family within the Crow tribe that inhabited the reservation - who gave the presidential candidate a new name and new parents.
"Awe Kooda bilaxpak Kuuxshish" was the honorary name given to Obama meaning, "one who helps people throughout the land."
Obama was escorted out to the stage in Crow Agency, Montana arm-in-arm between his adopted parents: Sunny and Mary Black Eagle.
Obama thanked his honorary new parents for giving him another name to tack on to the list, "I like my new name Barack Black Eagle. I mean that's a good name."
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.abcnews.com ...
He likes to change his name often, doesn't he?
He's all things to everyone.
They really put a hex on him. Within a month he will exhibit the "Buffalo itch syndrome".
Hmmm..now he is an White-Black-native American, I wonder if he could claim Hawaiian ancestory since he lived in Hawaii.
Yeah, he likes to help all right. He likes to help himself to people's money.
I still refer to him as magic negro.
LOL! Funny stuff.
Reminds me of a recent joke about Hillary but it works just as well here. I think they may have included the name Walking Black Eagle. When asked why they gave him that name, the chief responded that that name was given for bird so full of S#*t that it couldn't fly. bada-bump! ;-)
>>>Hes all things to everyone.
A karma-chameleon.
I think Turkey Buzzard is more suitable. There is nothing remotely patriotic about Obama and using the word "eagle" with his name is degrading to our national bird.
Barack dumb axe
I think magic mulatto is more accurate.Somebody here ran through Obama's family tree and he's only about 6percent black.
Obama's Kenyan father definitely does not appear (in photos) to be only 12% black. I like to see how they came up with that one.
No. Roaring Chicken.
Barry "Walking Black Eagle" Obama
"Awe Kooda bilaxpak Kuuxshish"
Awe, Geeze! Now we have to change his name on all of those ballots!
His platform pledge is to turn the United States of America into a third-world toilet with the aid of his terrorist supporters. Hitler II has arrived.
Hubby says "Dillweed" fits better.
Or "Man with flaming buttocks"
Good one. LOL!!!
I thought the Apsaroke Nation would have more sense than to associate with a grifter like this . . .
I always thought that Native Americans were good judges of character.This kinda blows holes in that theory.
The Apsaroke were happy to exploit the U.S. Army in order to get back at their longtime enemies the Lakota. Upside was, they got to keep their ancestral lands in large part.
Perhaps Obama is the one being exploited here . . . .
Truly "A Man For All Seasons".
What a pantload of this "country's best and brightest" running for POTUS. See tagline. Hasn't changed in "many moons", to put it in Indian speak.
I think Walking Eagle is more fitting.
Too full of crap to fly.
Well, there's one Indian Casino that won't get any of my business. Just saved myself 20 bucks...
Who's he flipping off?
Same attitude and anger; but she's definitely had some "gonna' be campaigning" work done.
I never would have known that the woman in the first picture was the one we're being shown. She may have taken a page from hillary's campaigning book.
"Call for Jeremiah Johnson! Call for Jeremiah Johnson!"
That would have been more appropriate.
Cool. It's about time we played cowboy and presidential candidate.
It means: "he who loveths animals and is in turned loved by them, too!"
He should be called Barack Stonefeather, he reminds me of what someone said about a coworker once. "If you gave him a rock and a feather he would find some way to use that feather to ruin the rock".

Cramer Quick Take: Time to Roll the Dice on China
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Is it time for investors to roll the dice on a recovery in China?Jim Cramer told Lindsey Bell at TheStreet.com Wednesday he remains bullish on China and would still be a buyer of Wynn Resorts (WYNN) and MGM Resorts (MGM) .
Cramer said the Chinese government is now realizing it was too aggressive on interest rates and is working fast to correct it. That will mean good things for the country's Macau gambling region as well for the casino companies that operate there.He still likes Wynn Resorts and feels that company is going a fantastic job. For speculation, he also recommended MGM, which is benefitting from a turn in the Las Vegas gambling market.
All of these stocks have had big runs, said Cramer, so no matter which ones investors are considering, they should wait for a pullback before buying in.

I've been doing the pizza thing pretty much solo for an entire year other than having a friend help me once. It's been pretty small scale, but I'm thinking this year's gonna be a bit more business than I can handle alone. Anyone have any advice on finding the right people for the job? I put an ad out on craigslist, but after getting some responses, I realized I don't have a clue what to look for or how to move forward.What kind of crew do you mobile WFO folks have on hand, and how did you go about forming your team?
Someone like John has a much better idea.What about asking some of your most loyal customers?For my farmer's market stand two of my best helpers were people that liked my pizza. I asked them if they would be interested in working at the stand and their enthusiasm for the pizza translated into enthusiasm working in the stand. --K

The D-backs prospect recorded a career-high 13 strikeouts and allowed three hits over six shutout innings in his third pro start Saturday night as the Rookie-level Missoula Osprey beat the Billings Mustangs, 10-5.
Selected in the 36th round of the Draft earlier this month, Barbosa got into a little trouble in the first, walking Spencer Dickinson and allowing a two-out single to Carlos Sanchez. But he fanned Gabriel Rosa, then went on to record eight consecutive outs via strikeouts from the third to the fifth.
"After the first inning, I found my changeup. It's my go-to pitch," Barbosa said. "I'm not overpowering. I know if I have my changeup, the night's going to be pretty good.
"Once you get that first strike, you can mess around with the batter. The changeup was there when I wanted to throw it for a strike or throw it for a ball. A lot of strikeouts were because I had the curveball working in the dirt. It was just one of those nights where they just didn't know what to do."
Since joining the Osprey on June 20, Barbosa (1-0) has allowed four hits over 16 scoreless innings. He's fanned 24 batters while walking seven during that stretch. The 24-year-old left-hander attributes his early success to sticking with his strengths.
"Hitting spots, that's pretty much it," he said. "If I hit the glove, I'm pretty much good. I don't really throw hard, so that's a big key -- locating the ball, changing speeds and keeping the batter guessing."
Being picked late in the Draft might provide extra motivation to some players, but the University of South Florida product is not among them.
"I don't look at it like that," Barbosa said. "I'm glad to get an opportunity to play and I'm going to play my game. I'm not going to go out and put that pressure on myself."
Michael Perez, the D-backs' No. 9 prospect, continued his assault on Pioneer League pitching, going 3-for-3 with three RBIs. The 19-year-old catcher is batting .375 with 13 RBIs in nine games for Missoula.
Sanchez slugged a two-run homer off reliever Chase Stevens for the Mustangs.

Senator Little and NYPA Announce Donation of Generators to Help Prevent Rolling Black-Outs in Tupper Lake
January 5, 2004
TUPPER LAKE— Senator Betty Little and Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer, New York Power Authority (NYPA), announced today the donation of two generators to the Village of Tupper Lake to help prevent rolling blackouts during the peak winter season. The announcement was made adjacent to the McLaughlin Ave. electric substation in Tupper Lake where the generators were recently installed.
"While you can't do much to avoid occasional whiteouts during a Tupper Lake winter, we can avoid rolling blackouts with the help of these new generators to bolster the village's power supply," said Zeltmann. "Under Governor Pataki's guidance and support, the Power Authority, Senator Little and Tupper Lake officials worked together to meet the vital electricity needs of this community's residents and businesses."
"I want to thank the New York Power Authority for helping Tupper Lake secure these two generators which provide peace of mind for all of us," said Senator Little (R, C, I-Queensbury). "Loss of power is much more than an inconvenience on a cold night when temperatures plummet. It's a threat to safety and puts lives at risk. The generators will eliminate the need for rolling blackouts and get us safely through the winter months as we continue to work on a long-term solution to address the demand issue."
"We truly appreciate the continuous efforts of Senator Little and the New York Power Authority to resolve transmission issues experienced by the Village and these generators help by playing an important role in offsetting rolling blackouts this winter," said Sandra Strader, mayor, Village of Tupper Lake. "The Village Electric Department and the company who worked with us, Aggreko, are to be commended for a job well-done by having the generators ready-to-go before the height of the heating season."
The two 1,250 kilowatt diesel-powered generators were built and installed by the international energy company Aggreko. John Bouk, electric superintendent, Village of Tupper Lake, oversaw the installation of the generators and worked closely with Aggreko. Aggreko provides power supply, temperature control and compressed air systems to customers in diverse industries around the world. Aggreko also designs, develops and assembles its own equipment.
Together, the generators will be able to supply up to 2,500 kilowatts of electricity—about 10 percent of Tupper Lake's peak power demand—as the need arises. They should help to avoid rolling blackouts or other interruptions to the village's power supply this winter.
No tax money was used to pay for the generators as Senator Little worked with the Governor to secure $85,000 in funding to pay their cost. The funds are from a grant from New York's share of the Petroleum Overcharge Restitution Fund—created as the result of a legal settlement by the federal government with a number of oil companies for excessive charges in the 1970s. The Power Authority is the administrator of this grant to the village.
The Village of Tupper Lake operates its own municipal electric system and purchases its electricity from the New York Power Authority. The village uses a single 46-kilovolt Niagara Mohawk transmission line to bring that electricity into the village. Without enough capacity on that line to reliably meet the area's growing needs, rolling blackouts became necessary. The Power Authority is working with Senator Little, Mayor Strader, Superintendent Bouck and Niagara Mohawk to solve this problem.

Is there a conflict between contemplative prayer and apostolic activity? The beautiful example of Saint Therese of Lisieux demonstrates that there is not a conflict at all. Â
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: spirituality, year of faith, contemplative prayer, Therese of Lisiuex, franics xavier, apostolic zeal, apostolate, missionary work, love, religious lfie, father james farfaglia
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - With great ease we could all make a long list of the serious problems that afflict the world. We could talk without difficulty about violence, war, terrorism, poverty, corruption, scandals and the rapid decline of moral values.Â
Attempting to resolve even a small dimension of any one these on-going challenges, we could certainly excuse ourselves from any form of prayer, affirming that we simply did not have the time to waste time.Â
When we consider the pressing needs of the existing moment, it is a big temptation to consider prayer, especially contemplative prayer, as something useless. It would be easy to fall into a state of activism and to allow our spiritual life to suffer or to abandon it all together.Â
Is there a conflict between contemplative prayer and apostolic activity?Â
Let us recall a quote that I mentioned in my last article: "The most intense response of a person to this charism of love [agape] is contemplative prayer. Contemplating is loving!" (Contemplation, Frances Kelly Nemeck, OMI and Marie Theresa Coombs, Hermit p. 144).
These words from Nemeck and Coombs really caught my attention when I read them. How can we understand what they are saying?
Illustrations always make a point really clear, and what helps me to understand these words is the beautiful example of Saint Therese of Lisieux. Saint Therese is a very popular and a very well-known saint, so there is no need for us to spend time talking about her history. The link that has been included will give sufficient biographical background for those who may want to know more about her.Â
Instead, I would like to focus on two very important aspects of her life during her time as a young Carmelite nun. Keep in mind that as a Carmelite, Therese was a cloistered religious, never leaving the convent.
The first thing that we need to consider is an amazing section from her autobiography. Her words have inspired millions of people over the years. Let us take a look at the text and see how it perfectly illustrates the meaning of the quote from Nemeck and Coombs.
Therese is someone who is exploding with profound love.
In her reflection she writes, "To be Your Spouse, to be a Carmelite, and by my union with You to be the Mother of souls, should not this suffice me? And yet it is not so. No doubt, these three privileges sum up my true vocation: Carmelite, Spouse, Mother, and yet I feel within me other vocations.Â
I feel the vocation of the warrior, the priest, the apostle, the doctor, the martyr. Finally, I feel the need and the desire of carrying out the most heroic deeds for You, O Jesus. I feel within my soul the courage of the crusader, the papal guard, and I would want to die on the field of battle in defense of the Church."
After describing the deep desires that she has for these other callings, she then focuses on Saint Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians.
 "I finally had rest. Considering the mystical body of the Church, I had not recognized myself in any of the members described by Saint Paul, or rather I desired to see myself in them all. Charity gave me the key to my vocation. I understood that if the Church has a body composed of different members, the most necessary and most noble of all could not be lacking to it, and so I understood that the Church had a heart and that this heart was burning with love. I understood that it was love alone that made the Church's members act, and if love ever became extinct, apostles would not preach the Gospel and martyrs would not shed their blood. I understood that love comprised all vocations, that love was everything, that it embraced all times and places.in a word, that it was eternal!"
She then concludes with words that perfectly illustrate the point made by Nemeck and Coombs in their book about contemplative prayer.Â
"Then, in the excess of my delirious joy, I cried out: O Jesus, my love, my vocation, at last I have found it, my vocation is love!"
Nemeck and Coombs explain the relationship between contemplative prayer and apostolic activity by explaining that contemplation is ministry because "the most intense response of a person to this charism of love [agape] is contemplative prayer."
Contemplation is ministry because "this simple act of love which so characterizes contemplation is not just a private gift. The love of God, in its contemplative expression, not only transforms the individual soul, but in and through the soul, in a mysterious way, it also transforms the Church, the world" ((Contemplation, Frances Kelly Nemeck, OMI and Marie Theresa Coombs, Hermit p. 145).
This then will help us understand a second aspect of the example of Therese of Lisieux. From her love, rooted in contemplative prayer, springs forth an intense zeal for the salvation of souls.Â
Within the walls of her monastery, she becomes aware of the up-coming execution of a convicted criminal by the name of Henri Pranzini who was convicted for the murder of two women and a child. He was sentenced to be executed by the guillotine.Â
For a period of time she focuses in on the salvation of his soul through her daily life of prayer and penance because, according to the news reports that she became aware of, he showed no sign of repentance.Â
On September 1, 1887, as the executioner was about to put the convicted criminal's head on the block, Pranzini took the crucifix a priest had offered to him and kissed it three times.Â
Therese wept and was overwhelmed with joy that her prayer had been answered. Â
Finally, it is interesting to remember that Saint Therese of Lisieux and Saint Francis Xavier are co-patron saints of the missionary work of the Catholic Church.Â
Therese, a contemplative religious saving souls from within the four walls of her monastery and Francis Xavier, a Jesuit priest, saving souls in the mission lands of the Church.  Â
Is there a conflict between contemplative prayer and apostolic activity?
The beautiful example of Saint Therese of Lisieux demonstrates the both/and of Catholicism.
As a contemplative nun she discovers that her vocation is love precisely because the most intense response of a person to this charism of love is contemplation. Moreover, her immersion into the gift of contemplative prayer nourishes her profound zeal for the salvation of souls.Â

Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in Northwest New Jersey? Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Northwest New Jersey, sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name (see "What does Organic mean?"). The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. Beware of copycat websites (such as the one that starts with "pickit" and the one that ends with ".farms"; they do not update their information, they just steal it from us once in a great while (they are plagiarists operating in Russia and China), so theirs are usually out-of-date -and often copied incorrectly! I put dates to indicate when we last received an update from each farm, and I make updates daily (each farm as their info changes). See the customer and farmer menus at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!
And if you know of any I missed and want to add them or correct the information, please let me know!
Notes for January 2017:Apples are still available, but already picked.

My approach to treating addiction is contingent on your abstinence. Once you are in a program so you are not using, my approach is to help you examine your need for the addiction and what purpose it serves in your life. This self-knowledge is helpful in understanding why you may feel controlled by your addiction, what it is defending against, and finding the willpower to remain abstinent.

An Illusion
Posted by Chunkypeaches on Dec 19, 2013
Nonsense, to any peanut butter lover who says he prefers this powder. It's like eating powdered cheese instead of real gouda. I give it an extra star for thoughts of delusion.
Not for me
Posted by Reviewer1036574 on Dec 13, 2012
I'd rather take the calorie hit with some real nut butter. A bit powdery and runny without the delicious creamy taste. Or maybe I'm getting the quanitites wrong.
I wish I loved it
Posted by 4711247937686422478 on Jan 27, 2013
Was really excited to try this product since it's 45 cals per serving and peanut butter is my favourite thing in the world. When mixed the texture is either too thick/unpleasant like baby food (or vomit....) or runny and tasteless if you add more water. Definitely rather a teaspoon of the real, high calorie stuff than 4 tablespoons of this.
Bell Powdered Peanut Butter

This gives me a stomach ache.
Allright, but doesnt do the job
Posted by 5003064164840362118 on Jan 11, 2015
Although I dont dislike this product I dont think it can work as a substitute of peanut butter. As soon as you mix it with water you have to be really careful, if you put too much water you get a kind of a liquid so you have to put extra PB2 (this is very likely to happen several times). And even if you put a correct amount of water, the serving is reaally small so you need more.. And the flavour isnt that nice. Anyways,the powder itself tastes great with oatmeal, maybe protein shakes, yogurt.. but not as peanut butter alone.
Not concentrated
Posted by 5006200900259850770 on Aug 29, 2016
I just add it to shake, but there is not much taste of peanut with 1 scoop, have to put 2.5 scoops to get the taste.

The 25,000 Mile Love Story - Page 4
Leonardo da Vinci wrote that feet were "a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art." And the man was right. It's a madhouse down there—each foot is constructed of 28 bones, which is equal to one fourth of all the bones present in the human body. Not to mention the 107 ligaments, 30 joints, and 19 muscles. And all of those separate, unique pieces work together to move us forward, creating an unthinkably efficient, powerful, and strong composition. Our feet are our own integrated locomotives.
More than that, though, no two feet in the world have the same blueprint—not even your own. And they're always altering, adapting to your height and weight, whether you're standing or sitting, moving or pausing. Our feet are intuitive. They understand us. They want to help us get from point A to point B—whatever we decide those points might be, whether it's a block away or worlds apart.
People might gawk at the feats of the Lance Armstrongs of the world. And there's reason to, of course. But, like most modern-day endurance athletes, he hasn't once mounted a bike or launched a feat without the diligent, watchful eye of his team who constantly screens, assists, and pampers. His training, schedule, and eating regimen are tackled with an uncanny precision. A Band-Aid always in wait for the most freshly developed paper cut. He has sponsors, physical therapy, the most advanced equipment, and techniques.
While I ... well, I had Nicole. The beautiful, strong, courageous Nicole who rode beside me patiently, who could massage my feet to health, and who could scold me into persistence. She carried me in a way no amount of modern technology or knowledge ever could.
When I felt as though I should be wasted, as though my feet could not possibly carry me another inch, she recharged me. She got me back onto the road and surged me forward with all the simplicity and ease of a raging current.
It should be no surprise to me that two of the most natural human instincts—love and running—have propelled me through these six continents, these 25,000 very long miles. That they have intertwined to make the impossible possible. But if I have learned anything from these five years on the road, it is that while the world can be remarkably small, it is always infinitely vast in its miracles and beauty.
Editor's Note: Serge writes that though he and Nicole separated after their "World Tour" together, his memoir is nevertheless a love story—"a love for the world's roads and all the people who inhabit them." In the epilogue, he writes, "People wonder how a couple that has been through so much can fall out of love. They think the World Tour tore us apart. But in the end, they're looking at it in the wrong way. It is quite the opposite. The World Tour is what held us together for so long. We were bonded by a journey, by a hope and a style of life, and when that road came to an end, we gradually realized that ours had, too ... I look back on our 18 years of marriage with a distinct feeling of thankfulness and pride."

quote toetanchamThe Files Ufo light are for the lil Probe Inn, since the name lil probe inn is long for a file name they named it UFO since thats the theme there. They are just the lighting features therethe lights can also be planes far away, but if you look on the PC version there are also files called UFO light 1,2 and 3
quote bigb12I'm not completely sure what spot of light you saw, but there's colorful lights in the night sky that move and leave very narrow white lines behind themselves. These are suppose to be distant planes. If you'll fly a plane up to them, you'll see that they still look exactly the same when you're next to them. They only resemble distant planes when you're on the ground.ALSO I SAW A BIG WHITE LIGHT IN THE SKY GOING FAST IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A UFO! I found it when I was fly to fishers lagoon to see the wheel chair
quote bigb12That one's totally fake. It started when GTA 3 was new. There has never been any evidence. When GTA Vice City was made, the myth was moved there, then into San Andreas. That's one of the fakest myths ever.has anyone heard of mothman?

Wild Messy Blonde Hairstyle
Classy and wild, this hairstyle by Franck Provost is a screaming testimonial to woman's beauty. Consider this an update to the iconic 60s hairstyle made popular by Marilyn Monroe. The medium-length hair is added with huge waves of luminous blonde with faint loops at the tip, which can be done with rollers. The little amount of fringe drops to the forehead for discretion, while the crown is parted evenly in the middle.

Beautiful cropped bob hairstyle with vibrant colours
Pale, white-blonde hair is cut in a bob with dramatic feathering along the outline. Add a vibrant dash of yellow along the sections and slices, and this is a head-turner of a hairstyle. A short bob gives straight hair a base from which razor-sharp slices and feathers along the edges are created. The points, which, in fact, are usually created with a razor if a finer finish is desired, vary in length, the shortest acting as fringe, and the longest sweeping in from the back to emphasize the jaw and neck lines. Bright, butter yellow is applied here and there, highlighting a particularly long slice of hair, tinting the edges of the fringe, peeking through on the crown.

Later this month, Global Footprint Network will release its 2009 National Footprint Accounts, with the latest data on the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity of over 100 nations and humanity as a whole.
The accounts reflect continued refinements and improvements to the methodology, developed in conjunction with Global Footprint Network's National Accounts Review Committee, made up of representatives of Global Footprint Network staff and partner organizations, in particular academic institutions.
The accounts include the most updated figures as to humanity's global Ecological Footprint and how that compares with biocapacity. They will also include rankings of Ecological Footprint per capita for over 100 nations, as well as revised maps showing which countries have an ecological deficit and which have an ecological surplus. Check www.footprintnetwork.org for the most recent facts and figures.

A Regular Addict
Posted by 4644150951888082198 on Jun 10, 2016
Instead of coffee, I drink tea. I drink it all day long, every day, I have for years, I am not stopping, and I will probably live to be a hundred because of it. Tea is filled with fantastic elements, but that's not why I love it. I am addicted to tea for the flavor(s), the taste(s), the experience of refreshment, and with black tea, the fact that it is bracing. Great Eastern Sun is so great I keep buying and drinking it, over and over again, if that is any indication of why I award it five stars. English Breakfast tea can be harsh (think Twinnings), and GES tea is packed with flavor, without the abruptness of a more dense tea. The flavor is delicate. It is not robust, as contrasted with PG Tips. It is a 'quiet' English Breakfast, and the only way to describe it is to say some teas are like a big, fat, dense, ceramic mug. GES tea is like a china tea cup, in comparison to that.

It's a shame about the excessive amount of packaging for this product. I don't see that each tea bag needs to be in its very own cellophane wrapper. I'd rather they spent less on packaging and put a higher number of bags per box. I bought this for my husband. Whilst he thinks the flavour is nice, it does not stand out way above other teas and I probably won't buy this again

While drinking this tea, I feel the mellow flavor remain on my tongue and in my throat. The aroma of jasmine hangs around. The best way to make this great tea is cold-brewed. Add one teaspoon of tea leaves in a cup of cold boiled-water, place the cup of tea in the refrigerator for at least four hours. After four hours later, pour out the tea into your favorite cup and drink it within two hours.
