I would read a few pages but the dreadful writing forced me to pick up a different book to clear my palate or to do something I would ordinarily put off, e.g. do the laundry, go food shopping, read e-mail. Thanks for that, at least. -Why soldier on till the end? The book has played a part in the degradation of the conservative movement's standards for good literature, for coherent political policies, civility, and discourse. Must read to get a picture of the conservative ideology in 2015. Back in the day, Whittaker Chambers in the National Review panned it, but the Tea Party conservatives of today who trace their lineage back to Barry Goldwater seem to adore the novel. Having now read it, I found most disturbing the constant use of terms like "leeches," "parasites," and "moochers" in reference to the needy. The reduction of the needy to the subhuman realm reflects the world view of Nazis and Communists for their enemies. Particularly ironic since such terms were often used to describe the Jews, and Rand was a Russian-Jewish intellectual who would have been unwelcome to say the least in the Germany of the 30s and 40s and the Soviet Union even today. The sabotage of the infrastructure by the Galt sympathizers resembles the techniques of modern terrorism with which we are all too familiar. Efforts to discredit the government by refusing to compromise and effectively shutting it down may ring a bell in the present time. The hijacking of the media by Galt is in the totalitarian style of 1984, though the length and repetition of his rant is reminiscent of Fidel Castro. The cult of personality is also a familiar trope; Scientology without the pizzaz. The novel praises logic and reason, but uses the techniques of propaganda (i.e. gut bucket emotional outrage at one-dimensional bad guys) in order to do so. Kind of like reconciling Christianity and capitalism (see below). -For a better fictional send-up of the liberal mind, see Dostoyevsky's The possessed (or Demons in a recent translation). For life under Stalinism, I recommend Life and fate by Vasily Grossman. -Ethics. The application of Objectivism in the novel lacks challenging case studies. For a cure developed by Big Pharma, should the company charge $10K a dose, or should the patient pay full price? If the patient wanted a cure, he should be responsible for developing one or pay whatever the company determines? Who developed the cure? Was it a two fisted individualist or a team? Is the doctor from Kansas who goes to Africa to help Ebola patients actually performing an immoral act? Should we vaccinate for the so-called community benefit or opt out to make an individualist statement? -To some extent the novel is so extreme I sometmes wondered if it was intended as a parody of secular humanism created by a right wing Christian. After all, reconciling Christianity (or any religion) with individual freedom to amass cash is just another form of immoral compromise, isn't it? So the hidden moral of the story is that you can't be a capitalist and a Christian. You're welcome, Pope Francis. Anyways, we know where the good guys are really coming from because they're heavy smokers and put dollar signs on the cigarettes. -The writing, as noted, is generally excruciating or simply anachronistic. I could make an analogy with Dr Ferris's torture machine (hurts like hell but doesn't harm the body) but that would be cheap and snarky so I didn't. Most excruciatingly hilarious line: "Calmly and impersonally, she [Dagny Taggert}, who would have hesitated to fire at an animal, pulled the trigger and fired straight at the heart of a man who wanted to exist without the responsibility of consciousness." Haven't we all felt that way about our doorpersons? The anachronistic part is the dialog, which has the artifice of hack movies churned out by the studios in the 30s and 40s, not surprising considering the author's Hollywood background. She has a pretty good knack for creating bad guy names (Wesley Mouch), but her good guy/gal names seem standard Hollywood Aryan (she knew her audience). The description of the American landscape in Dagny's airplane trip to Happy Valley is good, too; I sensed the author took great pleasure in flying and certainly communicates it. Also noteworthy is the author's pleasure in and great attention to the details of female dress, possibly another Hollywood influence. Awesome book. Should be required reading for everyone in America. That's not to say that I agreed with everything, but it provides a good look at why capitalism works, and progressivism fails. It explains why capitalism is moral, and progressivism is immoral. It explains why self is more important that the collective, regulation is bad, and religion is bad. The last is the only part I disagree with. Rand presents religion as a summary of it's worst points in history. I don't blame Rand completely for this, as Christians haven't exactly been stellar examples of true Christianity. That aside, there's a lot of good, thought-provoking, information wrapped up between the covers, and on top of that, it's a good story. There are a couple of points where Rand's descriptions get a little winded, but still highly recommended. Atlas shrugged is not populated by characters, but by puppets that exist only to push Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism by any means necessary- even at the expense of realism, or a compelling plot. If you're expecting either of those things, look elsewhere. In the world of Atlas Shrugged you're either a protagonist, a flawless übermenschen pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps despite the parasites trying to hold you back, or you're an antagonist, one of those leeches that exists only to suck blood from the few hardworking capitalists that hold up the world. These leeches would rather pull down the hardworking protagonists and destroy them than do any work themselves, rendering them all but suicidal in their behavior. This is evident by the time you hit the 200 page mark (if not long before), and yet this conclusion is hammered home by Rand six or seven hundred pages later in case you missed it. This is a recurring thing throughout Atlas Shrugged: Rand shows no subtlety but instead forces her philosophy down your throat, whether through the actions of the characters or through segments laying out all of the conclusions you were supposed to have drawn from the text thus far in as simplistic a matter as possible. There is no moral complexity here, no room for interpretation, as Rand's characters and plot are all structured so that her ideas are inevitably correct. The cost of this is that none of the characters ring true at all. In Candide, Voltaire gives us caricatures as well, but he does that in order to satirize a philosophy, while Rand uses caricatures to push her own ideas. One approach works better than the other (hint: it's been over 250 years and Candide is still worth reading). Not only does Rand's approach to writing render the characters as straw men, but it also robs the plot of any tension. With the protagonists embodying Rand's philosophy and no nuance of any sort in sight, it's obvious who is going to turn out okay and who is going to get their just deserts. Rand could have acknowledged that her ideas weren't perfect, and thereby not only introduced some intellectual complexity to the book but also injected some much-needed dramatic tension into the narrative, but instead we get an intellectually unfulfilling book of black-and-white morals praising capitalism and selfishness above and beyond whatever critical thought could justify in reality. The most generous way I can describe Rand's prose is "functional," as it's almost entirely devoid of beauty and any level of complexity. This is likely for the best, as better writing would probably have made it take more time to finish the book, while in its current state the book only drags because of its structure and ideas instead of its prose. Rand doesn't get much credit for this in my eyes, however, as it seems more likely that she simply couldn't write better prose rather than that she intentionally chose to write in a simple manner. The structure of the book is flawed in two major ways: Rand's penchant for speeches and the unnecessarily length of the tome. Speeches of the length that Ayn Rand includes in Atlas Shrugged simply don't belong in a work of fiction like this. Not only are they necessarily unrealistic (if you know anyone who speaks to you in twenty page speeches on a regular basis, then you know some weird people), but they can't help but kill the flow of the narrative. Also, Rand often uses such speeches to spell out the point of the book to the reader, even though that point is blatantly obvious to begin with. If you needed any further evidence that Ayn Rand saw Atlas Shrugged as primarily a vehicle for her philosophy of Objectivism and not as an actual narrative with characters and a plot then look no further than Galt's speech, which hammers home Rand's beliefs in case you hadn't already picked up on them a thousand pages earlier. Speaking of length, a consequence of the simplicity of the message and the lack of actual characters is that the length that Atlas Shrugged reaches is completely unnecessary. You could easily excise half this book or more and nothing would be lost. This is not to say that Atlas Shrugged is the worst book I've ever read. It has something to say, even if it says it poorly, and I like to see that in a book. Also, as stated above, the simple writing made this book a faster read than the length might suggest, and I'll take functional prose over failed attempts at impressive writing any day of the week. The cardboard characters, moral and intellectual simplicity, irritating speeches, and unnecessary length still mean that this book is decidedly subpar. איך אפשר לתת ארבעה כוכבים לספר שכתוב כל כך רע? כי למרות שהוא כתוב רע הוא יצירה מרכזית ומעניינת עד מאוד. למרות הכתיבה הנוראית (בייחוד של קטעי האהבה ברררר) מצאתי את עצמי קורא (שומע) בעניין ושוקע יותר ויותר בעולם המוזר שמתארת איין ראנד. למרות שהפיסופיה פשטנית ונטחנת עד עייפה, מעניין כמה נקודות ניתן למצ The love-hate relationship I have with this book actually leans to the former, despite the magnitude of the latter. Yes, her characters are quite one dimensional bordering satirical at times, however I felt that when she delved into her lengthy diatribes from D'Anconia, Reardren, and sometimes Dagny Taggery she was at her best. However the contrast between them, and the socialist is sharp enough to grain the entire picture.
"Despite laborious monologues, the reader will stay with this strange world, borne along by its story and eloquent flow of ideas." "inspired" and "monumental" but "(t)o the Christian, everyone is redeemable. But Ayn Rand's ethical hardness may repel those who most need her message: that charity should be voluntary…. She should not have tried to rewrite the Sermon on the Mount." "to warn contemporary America against abandoning its factories, neglecting technological progress and abolishing the profit motive seems a little like admonishing water against running uphill." Atlas Shrugged represents a watershed in the history of world literature. "remarkably silly" and "can be called a novel only by devaluing the term" ...

References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (9)Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0452011876, Paperback)At last, Ayn Rand's masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, "Who is John Galt?", Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers. Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit. Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:40:18 -0400) The decisions of a few industrial leaders shake the roots of capitalism and reawaken man's awareness of himself as an heroic being.

PoliticsLeon Panetta sworn in as US defence secretary Former CIA director succeeds Robert Gates to become first Democrat to take charge of the Pentagon since 1997. 01 Jul 2011 18:58 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq, United States Panetta, right, has pushed for a strategy that would bring US combat forces out of Iraq [AFP] A day after stepping down as CIA director, Leon Panetta has been sworn in as US defence secretary. Panetta succeeds Robert Gates, who was a Republican holdover from the previous Bush administration, and is the first Democrat to take charge of the Pentagon since William Perry finished his tenure in 1997. The US Senate approved his nomination last week in a 100-0 vote. "Republicans and Democrats alike have always found Panetta very user-friendly," said Gordon Adams, who worked for Panetta when he was the White House budget chief in 1993-94.Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator, called Panetta a "home-run choice" by Barack Obama, the US president, to succeed Gates.Panetta began settling into his job on Friday by telling members of the military and their families that they are "at the top of my agenda".In an opening message to the defence department, he acknowledged the fiscal challenges he is inheriting, including an administration request to save $400bn from the defence budge over the next 12 years. "While tough budget choices will need to be made, I do not believe in the false choice between fiscal discipline and a strong national defense. We will all work together to achieve both," Panetta said in the message distributed by the Pentagon.Adams said: "The president has a huge budget crisis going right now, and so literally on Friday when Leon steps into the job he's going to find himself in the middle of negotiations about budgets, and it's going to include defence.'''Defeat al-Qaeda' In Panetta's written message, issued moments after his swearing in, Panetta said that in his two and a half years as CIA chief he appreciated the military's capabilities and promised that as Pentagon chief he would do all he could to maintain that strength."Our nation is at war," he wrote. "We must prevail against our enemies. We will persist in our efforts to disrupt, dismantle and ultimately defeat al-Qaeda."He mentioned that his arrival at the Pentagon coincides with the start of a withdrawal of US troops in Afghanistan on a schedule announced by Obama last week.In 2006, Panetta served alongside Gates on the Iraq Study Group, where he revealed himself to be a skeptic of the war. He pushed for a strategy that would bring US combat forces out of Iraq and redirect the military's efforts tofocus on al-Qaeda and training Iraqi security forces. He later called the war "divisive, unstable and dangerous".Later this year, Panetta may face an Iraqi government request that some of the roughly 47,000 US forces still in the country stay beyond the end of this year, when all US troops are supposed to go home. Panetta began his public life as a Republican serving in the Nixon administration as a special assistant to the secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and as director of the US Office of Civil Rights. He switched to the Democratic Party in the 1970s and was first elected to the House in 1976.Source: Agencies

Employee Brand Ambassadors - A Rock Star Solution for Businesses of All Sizes
When your communication resources are limited you better call employee advocacy! Find out why brand advocacy and small businesses go so well together.
When your communication resources are limited you better call employee advocacy! Find out why brand advocacy and small businesses go so well together.
There is a growing demand for authenticity in marketing but where did the demand originate?
SmarpShare is the ultimate employee advocacy platform that allows all employees to participate in communication efforts. With it employees can quickly share interesting employer-approved content to their external social media networks and generate conversations around the business.
Employees get points for sharing that can be exchanged for real-life rewards, which makes participation fun, engaging, and rewarding. SmarpShare also allows the employer to track the effectiveness of the messages and conversations across social media.
Employee Advocacy is all about encouraging employees to participate in communications efforts and motivating them to share interesting professional content to their external social media networks. Employees have created vast networks of friends, followers, and connections on social media and nowadays they can influence them all with the click of a button. In other words, employee advocacy is word of mouth marketing brought to the digital age.
Some of the companies we work with:
Employees can share updates without having to look for them, which saves time and effort. They can also add their own comments to the updates if they like.
Employees get rewarded with points that can be exchanged for real life rewards of your choice. Gamification makes sharing fun!
Employees can instantly see how many people are clicking the links they have shared and you can track how effective the messages are overall.
Employees sign up using their company email address and social media accounts. Admin(s) add links to content for their employees to share and can measure the effectiveness of the posts as they spread through employee networks. Employees can also add their own touch to the messages with comments.
SmarpShare is used to spread interesting content to external employee networks and drive conversations. Examples of content are open positions, blogs, events, and industry news. Your employees will work as your brand advocates!
SmarpShare allows employees to get points for sharing that can be exchanged for rewards. Adding an incentive for employees makes them more likely to participate as they will get recognition and personal rewards. SmarpShare can also be integrated to company intranet so that employees are exposed to fresh content regularly.
Admins can either add content directly or import it from RSS feeds. Employees can also submit content for admin approval.

Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Violet
Normally, I use foundations, not tinted moisturizers because I wear a layer of not tinted moisturizer underneath ALL of my makeup. So, with this product, I double up on moisturizer (which is not bad, I actually like it).
Pros: good skin match, nice feeling when applying, a little goes a long way (I only use 1 pump when I apply), packaging has a pump (I hate it when it doesn't), evens out my skin tone
Cons: doesn't cover everything (that's a given), doesn't break me out (YES!)
As you can probably tell, I love this moisturizer. I've been using it for about 3 weeks now.
I have really sensitive skin. Normally, I break out easily when using bb creams/foundations/tinted moisturizers, but this cleared up my skin! I am extremely happy with my purchase!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
Love this product - used it for about 3 years now and can't say enough about it! I usually have two bottles on the go, White Peach and Peach Bisque, so I can adjust colour I want for the day. I usually reapply a couple times a day which is great cause it is SPF 20.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I've only used one container of this tinted moisturizer, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. For a tinted moisturizer, it offers excellent coverage.
The ingredients are amazing. My colour was Peach Bisque and matched very well with my skin. The formula was smooth and moisturizing, and it even offers SPF 20 with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide! (As opposed to questionable chemical sunblockers.)
The container it comes in is totally awesome. The way the pump works makes it so that you get every last bit and nothing is wasted. Genius.
I would definitely buy this again, but would first like to try their Healthy Skin Foundation to see how much coverage it gives.
As tinted moisturizers go, this one is my favourite.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
This product has great ingredients, however its is very streaky and dries up and comes off if i rub too much.
I have to miss it with other tinted moisturisers to obtain a half decent result.
i dont reccomend.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
The Pros: I love that this is all natural. It didn't make my skin break out at all and I have very acne prone skin. Another is that I love the packaging! Its beautiful and I always appreciate a pump bottle. It's also very good if you have beautiful skin and don't need much coverage.
The Cons: I ended up sending mine back because the color was way to orange and dark on me. I got the second lightest shade white peach. So I guess I should have went with the lightest. I also have acne scaring and it did nothing to cover it up. I know its a tinted moisturizer but I've had better coverage from other brands. I was just hoping that it would even out my skin tone. It also didn't last long. 2-3 hours into the day it was melting off my face.
Just wasn't for me!

I'm on my 6th bottle, maybe. Give or take. It does not provide coverage much. That is a given. As a moisturiser, it is ok but not too oily. Then again, I use oil moisturiser so this is fine. On its own, I find it a tad dry.
But I like it because.... and this is very important, I have eczema and acne. During the worst of my skin, only this doesn't hurt my skin on application. Everything else does. So I know for a fact that this truly does not aggravate my skin at all.
Which is why I repurchase and will keep doing that.
The colour is too dark, that I have to agree.

Holy grail "foundation" for me. I use a light moisturizer under this and use this as a combination sunscreen and sheer foundation. I usually put mineral powder over it. SPF 20 seems like a conservative number considering this has 15% titanium dioxide and 10% zinc oxide. Until now, I've been unable to find a natural, non-clogging sunscreen. If I combine with mineral makeup, I don't need an additional sunscreen to get full protection. Minus one point because their color range is really limited. I'm lucky that I'm warm toned and not super pale or dark because cool skin tones and warm tones outside of the medium range won't be able to use this. Hopefully they will expand their color palette as the brand grows.

I received this item in a swap because I wanted to test it out, even though I know I need far more coverage than what a TM can provide. With that said, unless you have absolutely flawless skin, you'll need something else to go along with this product. It's incredibly sheer, which makes it pretty fool proof, but what's the point of paying extra for a barely noticeable hint of color? I wasn't expecting it to cover acne scarring at all, but I was hoping it would even out my skin tone a bit so that I could apply less mineral foundation afterwards. It doesn't cover my slight hyperpigmentation that I have on my nose and cheeks. A previous reviewer commented on it streaking and being dry, which I did not experience with this at all. Maybe they reformulated recently. But, I actually got way too much product the first time I used it and it still applied very easily, stayed damp enough to layer over the first application without looking or feeling odd. I just felt oily and it had no coverage, regardless of applying three coats.
Since it has no coverage, it blended in very well with my NC 15 skin tone in the shade Creme. And, I felt it made me more oily than I usually am and definitely didn't help mattify my skin at all. I also think it may have been exacerbating my mild acne, but I'm not sure because I didn't use it for long--the pimples that formed while using it went away when I stopped and never returned, so who knows.
Overall, it's a very sheer moisturizer with a slight, slight, slight hint of color and if that's what you're looking for, give this a try. But, it's not amazing and doesn't do a whole lot for my oily, acne prone skin type.

I'm surprised by the negative comments and the high number of people who would not buy this again. I'm super picky about what I put on my face for daytime, but I love this. It's not greasy (provides a very slight matte look) and somehow my skin seems luminous with this on. I noticed also that even though this is labelled SPF 20, there is actually a very high amout of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
It's not moisturizing enough for really cold winter days, but for spring, summer, and fall, it's good. Great packaging - very attractive, clean, and the pump truly lets you get 100% of the product.

Why I Went to Jail for Life: Brookline Operation Rescue Story
By Jay Rogers
Published June 1, 1989
BROOKLINE, MA (FR) – On December 31, 1988, I was arrested in Brookline, Massachusetts, for blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic with 100 other "rescuers." As I was being dragged away by the police, a television camera captured the moment for a local news telecast. During the next few days in jail I began to reflect on the events that led me to this action.
I was first arrested during a Rescue in Brookline, Massachusetts on New Year's Eve, 1988. This photo was taken of me during another arrest sometime in the spring of 1989, also for rescuing in Brookline. I was acquitted in both of these cases.
Read the Boston Globe story of January 1st, 1989 covering the same arrests of those who effectively rescued children being taken away to slaughter on New Year's Eve, 1988.
In the spring of 1988, I sat on the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C., at an international prayer rally called Washington for Jesus. It was the largest prayer meeting in American history. One of the speakers at Washington for Jesus was Melody Green, co-founder and president of Last Days Ministries. Melody spoke for a few moments on abortion and then asked for a show of hands of all those who had done something to stop abortion. Very few of the Christians present could say that they had done anything. I was ashamed to be one of them.
"OK – All you people who did not raise your hand -" Melody continued in a direct but gracious manner, "You need to do something. This is not somebody else's ministry. This is your responsibility as a Christian. If every one of you did something, abortion could be stopped in our country."
At that moment I prayed a simple prayer asking God what I could do. I was sincerely repentant and promised God that when I saw an opportunity, I would be obedient to His leading.
At the end of last summer, I began to hear news reports about Operation Rescue. Non-violent sit-ins in Cherry Hill, Pennsylvania, and Atlanta, Georgia, caught my attention. Here were people actually getting arrested for blocking abortion clinics. "Wow," I thought, "This is pretty radical" – but I doubted if I could go as far as to do the same.
Then last December, six members of my church took part in several rescues in the New England area. Their testimonies challenged me to take action. Finally, on December 31, l988, I was arrested in Brookline, Massachusetts, as a part of the most successful rescue in our state up until that time. "Evening Magazine," a local news program, showed a brief scene of me being carried onto a paddy wagon.
The three days I spent in jail, refusing to post bail until our arraignment in court, was a life changing experience. I met some of the leaders of the movement and had many of my questions answered. I was also able to spend many hours in a holding cell in uninterrupted prayer. The most remarkable aspect of this time, however, was the abiding sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit. This experience went far beyond the feelings I have had during worship meetings and personal prayer times. I can only describe it as a supernatural sense of peace – "the peace of God which surpasses all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).
1988 was a year of spiritual renewal for me. It was a time of spiritual battles and many struggles, but the same year resulted in a greater holiness in my personal life. This transformation led me to take part in social activism for the first time. This is the pattern in which Jesus Christ is moving His Church on a grander scale. The coming awakening is beginning with a call to a deeper consecration to God and will result in the transformation of society through the cleansed saints of God.
As you are reading this article I would urge you to ask God about taking part in Operation Rescue. You should pray about being arrested. Even after hearing Melody Green's message, it would have been easy to pass off my responsibility by performing some type of superficial observance. I could have signed a few more petitions and said a few more token prayers. Or I could have written letters to my senators and congressmen. Although these acts are necessary, I doubt their effectiveness. I imagined myself writing:
Dear Senator Kennedy,
As a member of the Christian community of Boston, I would like to express my support for a constitutional amendment banning abortion. I urge you to protect the rights of the unborn. etc.
The utter absurdity of the thought drove me to other alternatives. In Massachusetts the liberal mindset is synonymous with politics. Participating in a prayer rescue seemed to be the only logical alternative. I made this choice for several reasons.
- First, I had to enter the abortion battleground in an attitude of humility and repentance. In the time I had been a Christian I had done little for the unborn. Taking part in a prayer rescue was a strong decision for action. But my actions were not heroic. I had acted several years too late.
- Second, a prayer rescue is an act of intercession. Rescuers physically place their bodies between the abortionists and their victims. This is an effective tactic in the natural realm but rescues are also accompanied by spiritual intercession. Hundreds of Christians gather for hours of praise, worship and prayer at the abortion site. This is a powerful weapon against the demonic powers which are behind the abortion holocaust.
- Third, rescues help to fulfill the great commission. Jesus said, "As you go preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely you received, freely give" (Matthew 10:7-8).
The rescues I have participated in have been powerful testimonies to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Prayer counselors successfully turn women away from killing their babies; the news media gives coverage to the rescuers thus creating a powerful issue out of abortion; Christians from different parts of the Church band together in love and achieve more unity in a shorter time than man's contrived attempts could possibly ever accomplish; young people in the holding cells of local police stations are often won to Jesus Christ through the evangelism of the rescuers; and the Holy Spirit moves in remarkable ways.
One of the most interesting aspects of a rescue, however, is the fulfillment of Jesus' words in Matthew 10:17-18: "But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to the courts, and scourge you in their synagogues; and you shall even be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles."
By clogging police stations and court systems for many hours, thousands of Christians are able to witness to those who are responsible for enforcing and making the law – police officers, lawyers, clerks, and judges. This is surely a fulfillment of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Standing In the Gap for America
So why haven't more Christians participated in a rescue? We need to understand the level of disobedience in the Church. To do this, it is useful to survey the history of Israel. When the Israelites first left Egypt, they were commanded to drive out the inhabitants of the land of Canaan and completely destroy them. The Canaanites were abominable to God for one reason – the pagan ritual of infant sacrifice.
The Hebrew people were under strict commandments to abstain from this evil practice of offering babies as sacrifices to pagan gods like Baal, Molech and Asherah. "Neither shall you give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord" (Leviticus 18:21). Furthermore, they were commanded to destroy the Canaanites' places of worship: "You shall tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, and hew down their Asherah poles, and burn their graven images with fire" (Deuteronomy 7:5).
God Himself had raised up the Hebrew people to put an end to this detestable practice. Not only were they commanded not to take part in this pagan ritual, but they were to be judged as guilty if they allowed it to continue and leave those responsible unpunished. They were warned by the Lord through Moses:
"Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. I will also set my face against that man and cut him off from among his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family: and I will cut off from among their people both him and those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech" (Leviticus 20: 2-5).
This is a strong warning. Under the Old Covenant a person who did not try to stop the murderer was as guilty as the murderer. They were to be judged as those who played the harlot after Molech. These people were detestable to God because they defiled His sanctuary by their indifference and they came under the same bloodguiltiness.
In 20th century America, Molech worship translates into abortion. While the abortionist is often not aware of the demonic power behind killing unborn children, he is nevertheless promoting a hellish practice. In modern terms, we must realize that when we do nothing to stop the abortionist we are also playing the harlot with a murderer.
In the Old Testament the entire nation of Israel came under bloodguiltiness for this reason. In the time of Jeremiah the city of Jerusalem came under judgment because "they built the high places of Baal that are in the valley of Ben-hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech … " (Jeremiah 32:35). Although there had been some reforms during the reign of King Josiah, this practice provoked God to such a great extent that he judged both Israel and Judah.
Under the New Covenant we should not think that God is any less angry over millions of murdered unborn children than He was in the Old Testament. Their blood still cries out. The question of God's judgment is rhetorical: "Will God not judge a people such as this?" The question rather should be: "Will God's judgment bring us to redemption or annihilation?" Judgment will continue to unfold in the Church and in our nation until the abortion holocaust is stopped. The Church will share the responsibility for turning back the tide. Is it too late? Already the timetable is set in motion. Year after year, the moral fabric of our nation will continue to unravel until justice is established.
In the Old Testament, Israel was judged to annihilation but Judah was judged and brought back to redemption. Have we gone the route of Israel – or of Judah? The decision to repent and turn our faces back to God, asking Him to forgive us, lies with the Church.
If every professing Christian who believes that the Bible is the Word of God would take an active stand against abortion, it could be stopped in a short period of time. Operation Rescue is an excellent way to get involved. It is the best way to get right into the thick of the battle. God may then lead you to do other things. But remember, there are no heroes in this movement. We are all guilty for acting 17 years too late.
We have a decision to make. So far the Church has been losing the abortion battle because of apathy and careless ease. But today we have a clear witness – we must rise up and stop the shedding of innocent blood.

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

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)

Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy.

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

Hi Pamela,
It has been known for a while by the microbiome does seem to regulate a lot of things, including insulin sensitivity, some gene expression ("fat burning" genes for example), etc.
I would just like to say that the daily dose of raw PS that you got used to is totally unnecessary. You are maybe aware of Dr Grace Liu's series of articles on the topic ? She is no big fan of this random supplementation and I tend to agree with her: so long as your food is rich in prebiotic carbs (especially inulin, FOS, GOS, NSPs, cooked / cooled / reheated RS from real foods) the extra raw PS may actually be counterproductive ...

Yes, it's just as tight. Batteries, car,truck,motorcycle, etc.) have standard BCI sizes for uniformity. A US made Exide YB6LM will be the same dimensions of an overseas made YB6LM. Once you strap in a gel or AGM battery and put your battery tender lead on and the side cover, your done with it. Some folks will wrap black vynil tape around the battery to hide the bright yellow case color. (yes, I do that when I use them) I have the Motobatt's in 6 of my 7 bikes so far. They are good stuff!
your 52.00 AGM weighs in at 10.2 lbs. the Motobatt weighs 11.I guess if cost were the real factor you would get an agm on ebay. I think you can find one for 35.00 or so.the extra pound? that's the lead plates your not getting with the 52.00 battery. to compare apples to apples, check out the Texas Battery Shootout article previously mentioned in this thread.
If you follow this link and scroll down there's close up illustrations of the terminals. http://motobatt.com/
Guys - my service manual and my owners manual both specify a 14ah battery, which apparently nobody is using. 10ah, 16.5ah... 10.5 lbs, 11 lbs... Does it really matter?

Why is it rare to see white men and black women together ?
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
The reason white women go with black men, and Asian women with white men is this: cranial capacity.
The larger the cranial capacity the larger the pelvic birth canal required. And the more danger associated with birth.
So it is safer for a woman to mate with a man with a smaller cranial capacity when it comes to child birth.
The only thing stopping this is the resident male's resistance to being cuckold. And in the name of diversity that has been eroded away to nothing.
So this trend will continue until there is a sufficient small cranial capacity individuals that it overwhelms the cuckold males to support them.
Society collapses, and we do it all over again.
So to answer the question, small cranial females have the least pelvic space to birth larger cranial capacity offspring.
This is the standard of beauty. Its the hip to waist ratio that attracts men. Why waste your time on someone unlikely to bear a child with cranial capacity too large to fit through the pelvis?
Anonymous Coward 9527842
Horse shit asshole.
Baby's shoulders are the widest point. The skull is soft and conforms to the birth canal.
But black males definitely have small brains. Especially considering their skull thickness takes up most of the space.
Anonymous Coward 26924440
Its true adults have the widest point at the shoulders. That's why the big snakes have a hard time swallowing adult humans. However, a baby's skull is the largest part to exit the womb. And all the bones are soft with lots of cartilage.
As far as Homo is concerned, its all about the give and take of cranial capacity versus the cost of its gain. Nothing comes without sacrifice.
Not sure how to respond to your insults and racial slurs...so I wont.

La(Ni,Fe)O3 Stability in the Presence of Cr Species - solid-state Reactivity Study
Stodolny, Maciej K. and Berkel, Frans P. van and Boukamp, Bernard A. (2009) La(Ni,Fe)O3 Stability in the Presence of Cr Species - solid-state Reactivity Study. ECS Transactions, 25 (2). pp. 2915-2922. ISSN 1938-5862
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 312kB |
Abstract: | The solid-state reactivity between La(Ni0.6Fe0.4)O3 (LNF) and Cr2O3 in the IT-SOFC operating temperature range of 600-800 ºC has been investigated using XRD analysis. Because LNF material can be used as a cathode, as a current collecting layer and/or an interconnect coating, a thorough investigation of its chemical stability is of importance for SOFC systems utilizing ferritic stainless steel interconnects. This study demonstrates the intrinsic instability of LNF when exposed to direct contact with Cr2O3 at 800 ºC. It has been observed that Cr enters the perovskite phase, replacing first Ni and then Fe already after 200 h. The rate of the Cr reaction with LNF depends on temperature and exposure time. After 1000 h at 600 ºC no reaction products could be detected with XRD. Although this is a promising result, long-term testing under fuel cell operating conditions is needed to prove LNF as a viable IT-SOFC cathode material. |

Awesome! I knew this would really start shaping up into an event as some time went by. The only thing that comes to mind is...geez this is going to be a one-time rally. If all goes well it certainly could lead to more of them but the end of the world theme would not suit.
I think you should roll in that Trans Am with the mustache! That would really rock!
I have got some things in the works that may be on the big side of things for the rally. Vehicle, sponsors, ect but not saying anything until it is solid.
Regardless, I am planning to buy the Subaru sitting next to my house specifically for the rally. That should happen in 1-2 months. I then will start a build thread on it and plan to have the car prep'ed and ready to go for the event by October at the latest.
It would be awesome to take a truck more kitted out but that is not going to happen for me in time so doing the cheap rally car thing.

By BGEA • April 11, 2014 • Topics: Crucifixion
Only God knows your friend's heart, and whether or not she sincerely wants to follow Jesus and has committed her life to Him. Perhaps a seed of faith was planted in her heart as a child, and as Easter approaches she senses a need to have it grow.
However, the Bible does warn us against simply going through the motions, but not allowing God to touch our hearts and lives. In other words, if Christ means nothing to us most of the year, it may well mean that our faith is not real, and our sudden burst of religious activity isn't genuine. The Bible says, "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says" (James 1:22).
After all, if we truly understand who Jesus is — the divine Son of God who died for our sins and rose again by the power of God for our salvation — how can we treat Him casually? How can we live as if He were unimportant? Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (John 8:12).
Pray for your friend, that during this Easter season she may come to understand how great God's love is for her, and respond by giving her life without reserve to Jesus Christ. Pray, too, that as we approach Easter this year you also may see Jesus in a deeper way, and commit your life more fully to Him.
Share the Gospel through My Hope
This is the most beautiful answer to the question. I usually get so angry with people that act this way but with what was said here will change that. I will pray the seasonal Christian

ARIAD Announces Long-Term Molecular Response Data On Ponatinib
ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA) today announced updated molecular response data from its Phase 1 and pivotal Phase 2 trials of ponatinib, its investigational BCR-ABL inhibitor, in heavily pretreated patients with resistant or intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). The studies now show that 51 percent of chronic-phase CML patients in the Phase 1 trial achieved a major molecular response (MMR) with a median follow-up of 30 months, and 34 percent of chronic-phase patients achieved MMR in the PACE trial with a median follow-up of 15 months.
These data are being featured today at 6:00 p.m. in two poster presentations at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) being held in Atlanta, Georgia.
Molecular response is a measurement of blood levels of the transcript product of the BCR-ABL oncogene. MMR is defined as a value less than or equal to 0.1% on the accepted International Scale. All patient samples were evaluated for molecular response at a single central laboratory (Molecular MD) using a standardized assay. MMR is a secondary efficacy endpoint for chronic-phase CML patients in ARIAD's Phase 1 and pivotal Phase 2 PACE trials of ponatinib.
Phase 1 Trial MMR Rates in Chronic-Phase CML Patients
The ongoing Phase 1 dose-escalation study of ponatinib enrolled 81 patients with resistant or refractory hematologic cancers, including 43 patients with chronic-phase CML. Sixty-one percent of the chronic-phase CML patients in this study had failed at least three prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).- With a median follow-up of 30 months, 51 percent (22 of 43) of patients with chronic-phase CML enrolled in the study achieved MMR, including 75 percent (9 of 12) who had the T315I mutation, which is the most common mutation among resistant patients.
- The median time to MMR was 5.6 months, and the median duration of MMR in chronic-phase CML has not yet been reached. At the time of analysis, 21 of 22 patients who achieved MMR remained in the study and continued to receive ponatinib.
- Molecular response rates increased over time with nine percent (4 of 43) of chronic-phase CML patients achieving MMR by 3 months and 51 percent (22 of 43) achieving MMR overall. Patients continued to achieve MMRs after 12 months of follow-up.
- Thirty-three percent (14 of 43) of chronic-phase CML patients achieved MR4 (4-log reduction in BCR-ABL transcripts).
- The most common non-hematologic treatment-related adverse events in all patients in this trial included rash (42%), arthralgia (20%), increased lipase (20%), fatigue (19%) and dry skin (19%), with the majority of these being grades 1 or 2 in severity. The most common hematologic treatment-related adverse events included thrombocytopenia (34%), neutropenia (14%) and anemia (12%), with thrombocytopenia and neutropenia being primarily grades 3 or 4 in severity.
- With a median follow up of 15 months, 34 percent (91 of 267) of chronic-phase CML patients achieved MMR; the reported prior MMR rate to their most recent TKI was three percent.
- Fifteen percent (39 of 267) of patients achieved a 4.5-log reduction of BCR-ABL transcripts (MR4.5).
- Fifty-three percent (10 of 19) of chronic-phase patients who failed only one prior approved TKI achieved MMR with ponatinib.
- The median time to MMR among responders was 6 months. MMR was durable with 81 percent of patients estimated to remain in MMR at 12 months (by Kaplan-Meier analysis). Median duration of MMR among chronic-phase CML patients has not yet been reached.
- The most common non-hematologic treatment-emergent adverse events in all patients in the PACE trial included rash (38%), abdominal pain (38%), headache (35%), dry skin (35%), and constipation (34%), with the majority of these being grades 1 or 2 in severity.
- The most common hematologic treatment-emergent adverse events were thrombocytopenia (42%), neutropenia (24%), and anemia (20%), which were primarily grades 3 or 4 in severity.
- Pancreatitis and pneumonia were the most common non-hematologic treatment-emergent serious adverse events (5% each), followed by abdominal pain (4%), myocardial infarction (3%), congestive heart failure (3%), atrial fibrillation (3%), and pyrexia (3%). The most common hematologic serious adverse events were anemia, febrile neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia (3% each).

they won't say enough they are just ask for the person who's number they're obviously know who is answering. Very rude people and ask personal info like ssn.
Asked for someone with same first name but different last name. so I asked if they could remove me from their call list since im obviously not the person they are asking for. he was very rude. he said " oh so its just a coincidence w called the person with the right name but not the same number, then I asked what DOB? he says 1968, I said nope sorry mine is 1980. you have the wrong person NOW can you remove me from your call list please? he says well im removing you from call list ... for today. we will call back later. UMMMM what?? I JUST told you (very politely) that im not that person!
