True The Vote Wins In Settlement With St. Lucie County FL Elections Supervisor
Access to all ballots and registration information has been granted to True the Vote for citizen-led audit of the 2012 contest for Florida's 18th Congressional District
May 07, 2013, 09:45 ET
HOUSTON, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- True the Vote (TTV), the nation's leading voters' rights organization, today announced its settlement with the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections regarding records inspection rights under federal law and the Florida Constitution. The agreement provides True the Vote access to all ballots, registrations, and other election related data necessary to conduct an audit of a federal election in Florida's 18th congressional district. The audit will be led not by government entities or political parties, but by concerned citizens.
"True the Vote can now begin reconstruction and review of the 18th Congressional District election race between Colonel Allen West and Patrick Murphy," True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht said. "We must stop this scandalous cycle of ignoring failures in our electoral process when the campaigns and cameras go home. Understanding how failures in administration can effect elections, as we saw in St. Lucie County, will help prevent them from occurring in the future. We cannot allow slipshod standards to become pandemic across our country's election processes – citizens can and will stand up in defense of election integrity."
"This settlement grants True the Vote all of the records we originally requested, without any adverse impacts to St. Lucie County taxpayers. The real work toward understanding exactly what happened before, during and after the 2012 18th Congressional District race can finally begin."
A key component to the settlement agreement was to permit access to information dating back to January of 2009. Such information will help evaluate efforts to maintain voter rolls, both before and after federal election cycles.
"Since 2009 to present, Washington has made clear that it doesn't have any interest in seeing that voter rolls are maintained – we must fully study how that can affect a close congressional race," True the Vote attorney J. Christian Adams said. "This case is unique because it was directly impacted by the Holder Justice Department's attempt to block the State of Florida's efforts to remove ineligible persons from the voter rolls ahead of the 2012 General Election. This settlement will lead my client to answers, finally."
The agreement between True the Vote and St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker allows for sharing of records that pertain directly to the 2012 contest, in addition to election administration files dating back to January 2009. An abbreviated list of records includes:
- 2012 voter credit documents;
- completed voter registration forms;
- copies of all regular and provisional ballots cast (including provisional notices);
- documents pertaining to federal list maintenance requirements since 2009 (including felon and non-citizen records);
- all documentation for those trained as poll and tabulation workers for the 2012 contest.
The settlement came as a result of a lawsuit after requests to inspect election records were not immediately addressed (True the Vote, Inc. v. Gertrude Walker in her official capacity as St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, Civil Action (No 2:13cv14046.)). TTV chose to perform a comprehensive audit of the 2012 election and subsequent recount between incumbent Allen West and Patrick Murphy after reports of errors and inaccurate tabulations were admitted to.
True the Vote originally filed its complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida – Fort Pierce Division.

True the Vote (TTV) a nonpartisan, voters' rights and election integrity organization focused on preserving election integrity and is operated by citizens for citizens, to inspire and equip volunteers for involvement at every stage of our electoral process. TTV empowers organizations and individuals across the nation to actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation.

Go Figure
I'm in the middle of leading a week-long Paris chocolate tour with Mort Rosenblum.
So far, we've been enjoying…
…the buttery-smooth caramels of Jacques Genin, studded with exotic Iranian pistachio nuts…
…fluffy, bittersweet chocolate-covered marshmallows from Pierre Marcolini…
…a delicious grande aïoli at Susan Loomis' country home…
…almond-rich, tender financiers from Eric Kayser…
…briny oysters and cool rosé at La Coupole…
…and Patrick Roger's luscious chocolates filled with salted butter caramel.
But you know what's gotten some folks the most excited?
The roast chicken-flavored potato chips I found at the autoroute rest stop boutique.
Go figure.
Never miss a post!

Beyond sad.
Incidentally, I once heard that one reason the French have so much contempt for the U.S. is because of all the (European) countries, they most resemble us. I have no idea if this is true and it somehow clashes with my own experience. What do you think?
Ohhh…like the Chicken in a Biscuit crackers, only crunchier. I am very envious of the chocolate adventures and I hope you are all having a grand time and making good friends.
Roast CHICKEN!?!?!? Woooohoooo! I'm so stocking up on this when I get there this month. Not going to bother with the Pierre Hermes and the Bourgogne!
I'm holding out for the Saveur Confit de Canard… ;-)
There's an International Flavor selection of potato chips now all from those crazy folks at Lays: spicy crab, shrimp, roast chicken, wasabi and seaweed, etc. I took some photos of them last year just to prove to friends that they were available locally.
What was particularly odd when one of the ingredients was 'chicken powder'.
What the heck is chicken powder?
Gary: I don't know if the French are the world leaders in having contempt for the US. But more than many other European countries, I think the French guard their 'Frenchness' more than others.
(Although that doesn't really explain the explosive popularity of McDonald's and Starbucks around here.)
The struggle in France now is how to retain their cultural identity in the face of globalization, which is something that is perhaps happening in the US as well.
I see a certain amount of envy between the two countries: both are fascinated with each other. Americans flock here in droves to sample the cuisine and enjoy the culture, while many French have told me how much they love to visit America and like American things.
One friend who runs a terribly-chic art gallery in Paris told he how much he…"…loves those little warm egg sandwiches they serve at McDonald's. They are so good!"
I think the US could take a few cues from the excellent French health care system and the French could take a few cues from our easy-access banking system.
But I think the chicken chips should stay on this side of the Atlantic.
David.. that is why you are such a great guide.. showing people what is so FRENCH!
not just what people think is french.
Yes, I have people come here and stock up on Kinder Eggs!! :)
I'm in the UK where Walkers and others have been making chicken, beef and onion, salt and vinegar, prawn cocktail, Marmite, etc. crisps (sic) since I was a child.
I suspect 'chicken powder' is ground up 'chicken everythings', all the stuff that McD doesn't put in its nuggets. And for that reason, since BSE, I haven't touched the 'beef' varieties.
Gimme Marmite crisps!
Anyone in the UK remember hedgehog flavoured crisps (1970s, I think)?
On the basis of limited sampling, I'd agree that crisps/chips are a weak link in French snacking culture. Here the English–or at least the producers of Kettle Crisps, there are also some appalling mass-market varieties with prawn flavoring–may have the edge.
Flavoured chips perplex,
Chemical aromas – Blech!
I prefer mine plain.
this is so ripped off from the Brits who have valiantly provided every possible flavour of potato chip or crisp since long before the beginning of time. Or thyme?
And of course I remember hedgehog crisps. See.
BTW We made one of your ice cream recipes at Tante Maries last night and it was darned good I am going to get you down the alter yesterday.
I will answer your email now, promise.

I'll never understand what the French see in the almighty American MUFFIN! Those chips are Brit.
I have to say that when I went to Taiwan, I spent several minutes browsing the 7-11 there. So interesting to see tea eggs, bao, rice balls, and dozens of tea drinks where Americans would have hot dogs, doughnuts, and slurpees… I would never eat that stuff but gladly made lunch out of Taiwanese convenience food.
CHICKEN flavored chips? That's amazing. I am moving to France.
When I was in Greece I fell really hard for the oregano potato chips — but I dunno if I could handle roast chicken flavored ones!
I have to echo what somebody above said – I suspect those came from across the channel in Britain where we have truly made every flavour of crisp known to man. My favourite (now discontinued) was a Thai green curry crisp – just yum. Really.

JERUSALEM — A Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem plowed his car into a group of pedestrians at a light-rail station in the northern part of Jerusalem on Wednesday, killing a 3-month-old Israeli baby and injuring eight other people. The police said they were treating the crash as a terrorist attack.
The driver tried to flee on foot and was shot by police officers, according to Micky Rosenfeld, a spokesman for the police. The official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, later reported that he had died of his wounds.
Mr. Rosenfeld said there was a "strong possibility" that the driver had deliberately run people over.
Footage from a security camera showed the car swerving off a main road and speeding across the light-rail tracks toward the station. The footage was broadcast on Israeli television.
The baby who was killed was identified as Chaya Zissel Braun. Her grandfather, Shimshon Halperin, told reporters, "She was a pure girl, with a holy soul, who had done no wrong and was murdered for no reason."
Palestinian news outlets called the crash an accident and identified the driver as Abd al-Rahman al-Shaloudy, 20 or 22 years old.
Mr. Rosenfeld said the driver had served time in an Israeli prison for security offenses. Palestinian reports said Mr. Shaloudy had been released in December 2013 after 16 months in prison.
Mr. Shaloudy was a resident of Silwan, a predominantly Palestinian neighborhood in territory that Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 war and later annexed, a step that has not been recognized internationally. An influx of right-wing Jewish settlers who have acquired property in the area in recent years have made the neighborhood a flash point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Mr. Shaloudy was reported to have been the nephew of a leader in the military wing of Hamas, the militant Palestinian group that dominates Gaza, who was killed in 1998.
Mr. Rosenfeld said that intensive police operations were taking place in several areas. A police helicopter hovered above Silwan on Wednesday night.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel ordered a reinforcement of security forces in Jerusalem and issued a statement accusing President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority of inciting violence against Jews in Jerusalem.
In a speech over the weekend, Mr. Abbas called on Palestinians to use all means to defend Al Aksa Mosque, regarded as Islam's third-holiest site. His call followed a series of violent confrontations in the mosque compound between Muslim worshipers, protesters and the police.
Many of the recent clashes have centered on visits to the compound by hard-right Israelis who have been increasingly demanding the right to pray there. The mosque is on the Temple Mount, revered by Jews as the location of ancient Jewish temples and the holiest site in Judaism.
Tensions have been running high in Jerusalem since early July, when Jewish extremists murdered a local Palestinian teenager, Muhammad Abu Khdeir. The killing was in retaliation for the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teenagers in the occupied West Bank by Palestinian militants affiliated with Hamas.
Some Palestinians drew a line between Wednesday's crash and a case a few days ago when a Jewish settler ran over and killed a Palestinian girl, Inas Shawkat, 5, in the West Bank. The settler fled the scene but reported the episode to the Israeli police when he reached the nearest Jewish settlement.
Hours before Wednesday's crash, gunshots and an antitank missile were fired into Israel from across the Egyptian-Israeli border, wounding two Israeli soldiers in a vehicle, according to the Israeli military.
The attack came from the rugged desert terrain of the Sinai Peninsula, where Islamic militants have been battling Egyptian forces and have occasionally carried out attacks against foreign targets or Israel.
But Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said that, based on a preliminary inquiry, drug smugglers appeared to be responsible for the firing, rather than militants. Israeli forces returned fire and killed at least three of the assailants, according to the military.

This is the decaf version of our French Caramel Cream Flavored Coffee.
In its simplest sense, caramel is sugar that has been burned in a controlled way to produce a certain color or flavor or both. Of course, the familiar candy we call caramel also has other ingredients, including heavy cream. Added to caramelizing sugar, the amino acids in heavy cream help generate a bit of biochemistry called the Maillard reaction.
We owe a lot to the Maillard reaction, named for a French scientist who studied it in the early 20th century. The Maillard reaction is responsible for some marvelous flavors not only in caramel, but also in browned meat, toasted bread, chocolate, and many other foods, not to mention roasted coffee!
So whenever we enjoy a cup of our French Caramel Cream Flavored Coffee, we like to ponder the wondrous Maillard reaction and reflect on how delicious science can be. We invite you to do the same.

Hello all
Bought most of the parts listed in the HW Leaderboard for the Mid Range build, except I already have a GTX 1060 to use. Wanted a HTPC type case (similar to an old "desktop" computer case), but couldn't decide on one so went with a recommendation on a Phanteks Eclipse P400, which arrived today. It's HUGE! It lists as a mini tower but is more like a full height tower!
Anyway, can someone recommend a HTPC type case ( $100 or so in price) for the parts listed on the Leaderboard Mid Range build? (MSI X470 ATX motherboard, Corsair CX Series 650 watt psu, Kingston HyperX Fury memory and a GTX 1060)
Thanks in advance.


text: I'd love to go to your class if I could (I just moved out west so Breyerfest is out of the cards for a long time.) I'd be most interested in learning how to keep the paint smooth and even without showing brushstrokes on such a tiny horse. I'd also be interested in learning about roaning. That's all I can think of! Best wishes and I'm sure you'll have fun once the nerves ease up!

Living at the strict seminary was exactly what Angelo needed. He studied harder and became genuinely interested in his studies. By the time he graduated, his grades were so high that he was one of seven students chosen to attend Apollinaire Seminary in Rome, where only the most promising students went. Rome was an old city and home to the Vatican, the world headquarters of the Catholic church. Just living there was exciting for a boy who never expected to travel far from his village. By the time he reached Rome, he had become fully committed to becoming a priest, as he felt a calling to help people.
All seminary students were required to spend one year in the Italian army. Angelo loved it – as he was used to physical work and primitive living conditions. Here he made many lifelong friends.
On August 10, 1904, Angelo Roncalli was ordained to the priesthood and the next day celebrated his first Mass. Angelo was now called Father Roncalli, or Don Angelo ("Don" is a title of respect in Italy). It was Don Angelo's ambition to become a country priest – to spend his life among people just like the ones from his village. Shortly after he finished his doctorate in Rome, he was indeed sent to his home territory as the assistant to the new bishop there. Together they visited all 352 parishes in their territory. They also traveled outside of Italy on church business, visiting France, Austria, Palestine, and Germany.
Don Angelo also taught classes to seminary students, but when World War I broke out, most of his students left to join the army. Don Angelo himself became an army chaplain in 1915, and had medical training so he could help out at the makeshift hospital. He was given the rank of sergeant. He was 34 years old at the time.

Cleaning is surprisingly expensive. When it comes to things like carpet cleaning costa mesa, you can leave cleaning it for 12 to 18 months but there are a lot of things you need to do every week. Have you had enough of spending your hard-earned money on silly things such as cleaning products? I mean, they are just ridiculously expensive if you want to buy the really nice ones. Even if you try to cut down your cleaning budget by turning to their cheap alternatives, you will find out that even though you have saved some money the cleaning product is just not that good.
I think it is ridiculous to pay such a big amount of money for different cleaning products that come in small bottles and will run out sooner than you wish they would and you will need to spend a ton of money again and again. I have searched the internet for a very long time trying to find efficient and frugal ways and tips on how to save money on cleaning products. You can find a lot of ways, too, but here are some that made an impression on me and they turned out to be amazing. Here are some frugal tips for decreasing your cleaning budget that you might not have heard of:
1. DIY Liquid Laundry Detergent.
A simple recipe that has a few ingredients but they are cheap and they will last you a very long time, and you will have an amazing and efficient DIY laundry detergent. You will need Borax, washing soda, and Dawn dish soap. The measurements are equal parts, about ½ cups of each and 4 cups of hot water. Mix the ingredients in a gallon bottle (old milk or juice bottle). When they are mixed make sure to shake the bottle well to dissolve the ingredients completely. And your detergent is done! How easy, huh? Use ¼ or 1/3 per load of laundry.
2. DIY Carpet Deodorizer.
The last time I bought a similar product I was shocked at how expensive the small bottle was. I almost got rid of my carpets because of it. I have kids and a cat and I must take good care of my carpet if I want it to be fresh. If you are like me and wish there was a cheaper way to achieve this – there is. All you need is to mix ¼ cup of baking soda and 20 drops of an essential oil of your choice. Then sprinkle the mixture on your carpet and vacuum it in an hour or so. The soda will get rid of the smell and the essential oil will make it smell nice.
A bonus tip from Cleaning Team London: you could also turn the carpet deodorizer into a spray to spray your carpet and you would not have to vacuum it.
3. DIY Foaming Hand Soap.
It is easy, cheap, and the ingredients that you will need to buy will help you make a lot of hand soap. You will need 2 tablespoons of liquid Castille soap, ½ teaspoon of olive or almond oil, an essential oil, and 12 ounces of water (boiled or distilled). Mix the ingredients in the bottle and fill with the water. Swish it lightly to mix them and form the foam. And there you have it – a great frugal hand soap.
4. Wet Wipes.
What else you can do to save some money is, use wet wipes to clean a lot of the surfaces in your home. Even your upholstered pieces of furniture can for the most cases be cleaned with wet wipes – they are much cheaper than special upholstery cleaners and at times are as efficient.
5.Bonus Tip – Old Stuff.
And here is a bonus tip for a frugal organizing system in your home. Instead of spending money on desk organizers or containers for storage of your belongings, or pets and kids' toys, go to your attic or your garage and look for old boxes, mason jars, etc. Almost anything can be turned into a helpful tool for storing your belongings. All you need is a little bit of imagination.
This article is a guest post from Reece Hawkins of Cleaning Team London. Cleaning Team London is a professional cleaning service that cleans in all districts of London; they offer many high-quality services such as: cleaning all kinds of carpets, upholstery cleaning of sofas and other furniture, thorough house cleaning with eco supplies, and even after builders cleaning.

ICIMOD in collaboration with Asian Development Bank (ADB), Global Water Partnership (GWP), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF) rallied political leaders, government agencies, development partners, investors, and members of the private sector, civil society, academia, and media at the 2013 World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday, 3 September 2013 to understand how proactive action can move the water security agenda forward in Asian river basins.
The event, co-convened by ICIMOD, included two sessions on 'More Players, Smarter Rules, Better Outcomes'. It was hosted under a seminar called 'Eye on Asia', which has been convened by the Asian Development Bank since 2008. This year, the seminar featured activities that promoted a better understanding of water issues in the region and the efforts of governments and development agencies to address them.
ICIMOD experts Dr Shahriar Wahid, Coordinator, Koshi Basin Programme (KBP) and Dr Arun Bhakta Shrestha, Regional Programme Manager, River Basins, highlighted the global importance of the Himalayan water towers as a global resource and the goods and services they provide – freshwater, food, energy, biodiversity, forest, and medicinal products. They said that these services are increasingly under threat due to changing climatic patterns, increased snow and glacier melt, more intense floods and droughts, and changing ecosystems. They argued in favour of firmly placing hills and mountains water management needs in national, Asian, and global water agendas. ICIMOD team also made a presentation titled 'Troubling Times in Headwaters, Hills, and Mountains', and concluded by summarizing action items in five Rs: revitalize, reinforce, reunite, redesign, and rebrand.
Participants in the day-long session – organized in an interactive game setting – called for urgent water-centric dialogues and actions to address rapid changes in hill and mountain water dynamics. They also stressed the need to explore viable short- and long-term development options and innovative approaches that will foster transboundary cooperation in securing higher productivity and equity in water use.
Post event updates of the seminar can be followed on Twitter by the hashtags #eyeonasia and #wwweek.

Sales volumes into double figures in year to the end of last month, CSO statistics show
Retail sales jumped 10.3 per cent in the year to January on the back of a sharp increase in the numbers of cars sold in Ireland.
New figures from the Central Statistics Office show that while sales volumes reached double figures, they were only up by 6.4 per cent if motor trade-related sales are excluded.
Sales were up 4.1 per cent in January versus the previous month but excluding car sales, were up by just 0.7 per cent.
During January, car sales jumped by 9.1 per cent while sales in the electrical goods and clothing, footwear and textiles segments rose by 6 per cent and 2 per cent respectively.
The large monthly declines in sales last month were in the other retail category, where sales fell by 3 per cent, in furniture and lighting, down 1.8 per cent.
There was a 6 per cent rise in the value of retail sales in January versus December. On an annual basis, the value of sales jumped 8.9 per cent. However, if car sales are excluded, the value of retail sales was up by just 0.9 per cent on a monthly basis and by 4.5 per cent over the last 12 months.

Tax Litigation
Following an IRS audit or Collection Due Process determination, taxpayers have the right to challenge the IRS in the United States Tax Court. The U.S. Tax Court is a federal trial court with jurisdiction to hear federal tax disputes prior to the IRS issuing a final assessment and proceeding to collections.
If you have received a Notice of Deficiency or Notice of Determination these important documents provide you with the opportunity to present your case to a U.S. Tax Court judge. A Notice of Deficiency allows 90 days (30 days for a Notice of Determination) to file a petition in U.S. Tax Court and challenge the IRS audit determination. While the Tax Court case is pending, the IRS liability is on hold – though interest may accrue on any balance ultimately due.
The United States Tax Court is a specialized Court where taxpayers are challenged and judged by specialized IRS attorneys, IRS appeals officers and Tax Court judges – it is not the same as other state or federal courts and attorneys need special training and knowhow to achieve beneficial results for their clients in the U.S. Tax Court.
Our Denver tax attorneys are led by a former IRS Trial Attorney who spent many years in U.S. Tax Court representing the IRS and, after leaving the government, has resolved tax problems for numerous individuals and businesses. We use our experience on both sides of the tax controversy process (IRS and Taxpayer) to protect taxpayer rights and work with our clients to navigate the intricacies of the tax system and resolve their tax problems.

1. Why are you running for mayor? What makes you the best choice for the position?
I love this community, I want to keep it safe and I want to see us grow enough so that if our children want to stay and appreciate the life we have here, they will find employment opportunities to do so. The mayor must lead the meeting, know the issues and rule on protocol. I believe you must learn these responsibilities by first serving on council and then taking that experience to the mayor position. My opponents both have full-time jobs and being retired, I can devote significant time to take advantage of coming opportunities. I realize our decisions impact people's lives and I will always listen to the people.
2. Is there anything that has come before the council in the past year that you wanted to see have been handled differently?
I believe we are sometimes too restrictive in some things residents would like to do. Fencing restrictions are too rigid, for example, some people's yards include a city easement and a homeowner is not allowed to place a fence on this easement which doesn't give them the ability to fence in their entire yard. This restriction gives an unaesthetic look. In parts of the city that have green spaces, we allow gravel and pavers but not concrete. I think we should look at some of these restrictions and determine if they are helping or hurting our residents.
3. What, in your opinion, is the biggest issue facing Brush? How would you approach it?
Housing is very tight and rentals are too hard to find. Municipal government can't create a housing boom in and of itself. We do offer incentives which can help and we have for the last couple of years. With our proximity to DIA and easy interstate access, we should market our community to medium-sized manufacturing businesses that offer jobs, good wages, and benefits. That is what will create housing opportunities and new building in Brush!
4. What, if anything do you think should be done about the dangerous dog issue?
Lately, we have seen a problem with incidents involving dangerous dogs. People have to control their pets. Our ordinance concerning dangerous dogs is sound but the fines for this offense are too low. I believe in issuing the least amount of fine that gains compliance to the law. Our fine structure stands at a minimum of $50. I don't believe that is high enough to gain compliance and should be raised.
5. What, if anything, do you think should be done in regard to storage containers?
This issue has recently come into focus and we are considering how they should be regulated. I think most people would agree they are not appropriate for residential areas. Common sense regulations can be developed for commercial and industrial zones. They should blend in with surrounding structures. I think most people accept them in that type of zoning application.

A week ago, I was eating and started feeling bloated. It carried me through the week but wasn't having any other symptoms, just fullness in belly and burping. Got worse through the week and was down 11 pounds total in 8 days from not wanting to eat. Didn't have bowel trouble or anything else. I have now been to the dr twice, blood work looks great, and Pepcid helped my belly. Thinking ulcer, but now, my result showed a lesion on my kidney and I have a CT scheduled for tomorrow. Nothing else wrong, belly and surrounding looked good on ultrasound, no back pain, urine is good, nothing. Now I'm freaking out because I used to take Tylenol daily and have heard this could be the cause. Any info will be useful, just need to know what to look for and if I should be scared. Thanks in advance
Oct 21, 2013 - 3:03 am
A CT can usually identify a lesion or other growth on the Kidney and dedermine if whatever it is has the characteristic of being malignant.
A lot has to do with its size. Some lesions turn out to be of no concern. Some are. I have never heard of tylonal causing Kidney CANCER.
Hopefully everything turns out OK. If you do hear the big C word we are hear to help you as we have all been thru it. Mine was 11 years ago, Faye across the street is at 18 years and she is only 82.
Oct 21, 2013 - 3:21 am
Tylenol taken regularly can cause liver damage; Advil taken regularly can cause kidney damage.
Oct 21, 2013 - 6:52 am
Tylenol can cause liver damage, but not cancer; Advil can cause kidney damage, but not cancer.
And the bloated fleeling was not caused by kidney cancer. It was caused by something else.
Oct 21, 2013 - 9:34 pm
Too much Tylenol can cause renal failure or contribute to it...but that's when you overdose on it.
Oct 22, 2013 - 6:36 am
Your symptoms of bloated stomach, belching and extreme stomach problems, sound like it could be kidney stone. My husband has had stones a few times and he displays symptoms similar to yours. Also on an ultrasound the stones can be described as lesions, a lesion could also be a fluid sac. I hope everything goes well today, and the results prove there is nothing to be too concerned about.
Just as a side note, if it does prove to be a kidney stone, they will advise you if it is calcification or Uric acid. For a Uric acid stone, the treatment of choice here in France is Vichy Water. If your kidneys are otherwise heathy Vichy is a great treatment, it causes the stone to erode in no time.

Back to main page of Asterix
Text (mostly): Goscinny
The setting:
The year is 50 B.C.Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium...
Dramatis Personae:
|Asterix, the hero of these adventures. A shrewd, cunning little warrior; all perilous missions are immediately entrusted to him. Asterix gets his superhuman strength from the magic potion brewed by the druid Getafix...
|Obelix, Asterix's inseparable friend. A menhir delivery-man by trade; addicted to wild boar. Obelix is always ready to drop everything and go off on a new adventure with Asterix - so long as there's wild boar to eat, and plenty of fighting.
|Getafix (Norwegian: Miraculix, French: Panoramix), the venerable village druid. Gathers mistletoe and brews magic potions. His specialty is the potion which gives the drinker superhuman strength. But Getafix also has other recipes up his sleeve...
|Finally, Vitalstitistix (Norwegian: Majestix, French: Abraracourcix), the chief of the tribe. Majestic, brave and hot-tempered, the old warrior is respected by his men and feared by his enemies. Vitalstatistix himself has only one fear; he is afraid the sky may fall on his head tomorrow. But as he always says, 'Tomorrow never comes.'

Love eating popcorn, but dread the seemingly endless flossing session that follows each bowl? Try our gourmet Wabash Valley Farms hull less popcorn! Just as delicious as traditional kernels, each of the varieties below has been bred so that the hull shatters upon popping. The result? The best hulless popcorn you�ve ever eaten! We do want to clarify, however, that there is no such thing as truly hulless popcorn kernels. Popcorn must have a hull in order to pop, and popping is pretty important! That said, our specially-bred varieties are as close as it gets to hull less popcorn, and pop up to be what people mean when they use that term. Who knew popcorn could be so simply delicious yet slightly complicated? Popcorn experts like us did!
We believe that the best hulless popcorn � and the best popcorn in general � comes from White County, Indiana. It is, after all, the top popcorn-producing county in Indiana, and it�s home to Whirley Pop! From gourmet baby yellow popping corn to tiny and tender Lady Finger popcorn, our hulless popcorn kernels will help you keep the fabulous flavor high, and the need for floss low! Never heard of Lady Finger popcorn? Some people call this popular variety Tom Thumb. Whichever sounds more familiar to you, you�ll get the same great hull less popcorn you know and love.
Don't miss out...

Manufactured in Germany,
Lyra REMBRANDT POLYCOLOR
are good pencils and good value - as they
tend to slip in to the lower cost bracket of Coloured Pencils. The Company was taken over by Fila, the
Italian owner of the US based Dixon Ticonderoga in 2008 and the pencils are now distributed by the
Dixon (Europe) Ltd company based at Peterborough.
Prices are a little higher on those seen in past years - mainly due to the strength of the Euro against the
£ , which affects all continental European manufacturers.
If you can't find them locally or over the Internet, you can get in touch with Dixon's at 01733 371237
The Pencils are worth buying. Soft to the feel and oil based, you should find them for around two thirds
the cost of other brands.
The full set of 72 pencils used to sell for around £90 but I have seen them (fleetingly) as low as £70 for a
full set.
Lightfastness is good across the colour range and the star ratings are shown with the colour reference
numbers on the inside lid of the boxes. Care should be observed using a pencil with one star rating as
these are the least lightfast.
For purchasing, Look at GreatArt.co.uk The main distribution for Great Art is based in Germany and
often features European lines not easily found in the UK.
Search on that site for Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor
Great Art currently have them listed as both boxed sets and individual pencils
as also do the Jacksons Art Supplies site and the UK based internet supplier
Polycolor are a favourite with Parchment craft addicts as the oil based colour takes well to the special
parchment surface.
I am also told that Lyra Polycolor work well on drafting film - not something I have tried, myself.
There is also an aquarelle of similar good value and I hadn't seen these about for a while, but Great Art
quoted them as recently as June 2009. I see ( Sept 2017 ) that
list both
Polycolor and the aquarelle in singles for around £1.45 each
In July 2017, Jacksons Art in the UK were selling the Aquarelle at around £90 for the set of 72 so the sets
are still about.
The Lyra product most frequently found, is a blender pencil called the 'Splender Blender'
This is made with a clear transparent core and can be sharpened like a normal pencil.
When worked over a layer of coloured pencil, it picks up and moves the lower layer and blends edges.
Very useful in the finishing stages of a picture, though I have found that if you use it too early in the
painting process, it is difficult to add further colour layers on top of the soft blender material.
I guess that it is made from an oil based ingredient, as the Lyra Rembrandt pencils are oil based.
See my comment on Blenders in general and the Lyra one in particular on this site at
working the surface
The blender pencil was listed for sale (Jun 09) at www.1buy1pencils.co.uk
Lyra also market various accessories which include a useful 'click' eraser which has a long thin erasing
medium held by a plastic barrel which can be 'clicked' to extend the eraser 'lead'.
This is marketed in Europe. A useful item if you are near a European mainland stationer whilst on
I see this was on sale in the UK (2012) and branded as Pentel ( but is the same thing as the Lyra one I
bought in Germany .) If you are looking and can't find, it was on sale at Pencils4Artists at £1.99
The updated Lyra website gives overall product information for UK users and is at www.lyra.de

Lye is a strong alkaline solution made from sodium or potassium hydroxide. It is used in soapmaking and for cleaning and opening drains. If your toilet becomes clogged, sprinkling a small amount of lye in the toilet will help unclog it. Before using lye, carefully read the manufacturer's instructions for use of the product.
Step 1
Place a plunger in the toilet. Push down on the toilet to try to unplug or unclog the toilet.
Step 2
Add the appropriate amount of lye into the toilet, following the manufacturer's directions. Wait the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer.
Step 3
Flush the toilet. If the toilet flushes normally, the drain is cleared. If the toilet does not drain, or is slow draining, repeat Step 2. Never plunge or snake a drain once chemicals have been added.

This Woman's Boss Told Her Headscarf Was 'Unprofessional' So She Went To Work In Cosplay
When June J Rivas's boss told her that her dress code was unprofessional, she didn't realize the can of worms she was opening.
"So my boss didn't like me wearing my hair in a ponytail everyday," she wrote on Facebook. "Nor my hair in a scarf. "Unprofessional". Nor my hair in pigtails. "Unprofessional". So I filed a harassment complaint against her as our contract states "no dress code. just be clean and pressed"." Her boss countered by devising a new dress code that outlawed all of the above plus a number of other items including straps, hats, sandals, cleavage, "and even (and I quote) "cultural head wraps"." The new rules however said nothing about Cosplay, so after reporting her boss to the EEOC (Equal Opportunities Employment Commission), Rivas decided to have a little fun. See for yourself below.

Rushing Yards
Time of Poss.
MEADVILLE, Pa. – Hanging on to a 10-9 lead with just over one minute left in regulation, Allegheny fumbled deep in its own territory while trying to run out the clock. Case Western Reserve made the most of the late chance with a three-yard touchdown pass and two-point conversion en route to a 17-10 victory over the Gators in a nationally-televised broadcast on Saturday at Frank B. Fuhrer Field.
Allegheny (2-3) had a chance to steal a win over the Spartans (3-1) after Erik Olsen's attempted pass to Sean Lapcevic on fourth down fell incomplete. Brad Burkley was in on the coverage as the Gators' defense held as they had most of the afternoon. Taking over with 1:21 left on the clock, the Gators ran two plays up the middle while Case burned its two remaining timeouts. Another play would have caused the clock to sink well under a minute, and would have put the Spartans in a position to have to march the length of the field to secure the go-ahead score. Unfortunately, Case's Dan Calabrese delivered an outstanding stick on Brian Tamburlin as the tailback bounced to the outside while Cary Dieter picked up the loose ball and rumbled 10 yards to the Allegheny five-yard line. The quick turn of events stunned the Gator faithful, who braved a cold and rainy afternoon in the 2011 homecoming game.
The Blue and Gold trailed 3-0 at halftime, and spotted the Spartans a 9-0 lead following a 33-yard touchdown pass by Olsen to Brian Rice midway through the third quarter. The Gators defense, which had been opportunistic in previous games this season, once again sparked the team's resurgence as Travis Wilkins picked off Olsen on Case's next possession and returned the interception 29 yards to the Spartan one. On the next play, fullback Tim Werley punched in the score to slice into the deficit.
Allegheny's defense made a strong stand on the ensuing possession, before piecing together another scoring drive on its next opportunity. The key play of the drive occurred on a third-and-six from the Case 47-yard line as quarterback Jordan Fowler connected with Max Kauert on a play that was nearly intercepted by Jacob Adams. Threading the needle to Kauert, Allegheny's senior tight end covered 46 yards before being tackled one yard from the end zone. The Case Western Reserve front line, which was dominant throughout the day, held its ground, but Ryan Zipf converted a 20-yard field goal attempt to push the Gators in front, 10-9, with just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The Spartans held decisive advantages in nearly every statistical category, but the Gators defense thwarted five of Case's seven fourth-down attempts, while manufacturing five sacks and six pass break-ups. Doug Williams led the attack with a career-best 13 tackles, while Wilkins made 11 tackles in addition to the momentum-changing pick. Bill Devlin added 10 tackles, including a game-high nine solo stops.

Expert on Leadership Says Obama's Style Reminiscent of King George
Waco, Texas—With 58 percent of Independent voters expressing a negative opinion of the federal government, a Waco area pastor and author of a new book on kingdom leadership principles says President Obama's leadership style is reminiscent of the tyranny of King George. Citing recent polls from Gallup and the Pew Research Center, Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas, founder of the Kingdom Leadership Institute, claims, "In many ways, President Obama is acting more like King Obama."
An ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted by telephone August 13-17, 2009, found, "Views of the country's direction have soured; 55 percent say it's seriously off on the wrong track" while an August 12, USA Today/Gallup poll found 69 percent of Americans are "closely following news accounts of town hall meetings." Commenting on the findings, Thomas said, "Fundamentally, the crisis of our time is one of leadership. This crisis is seen in our town hall meetings, the Tea Parties, talk radio, Third Parties, the debate over socialized health care, voter cynicism, and a general discontent. It is seen in President Obama's drop in approval. All this speaks to a crisis of leadership."
Citing the Obama Administration's pro-abortion policies, support of the radical homosexual agenda, assault on the Federal Defense of Marriage Act, promotion of the "Fairness Doctrine" that targets conservative talk radio, and its attack on Christian liberties through the Hate Crimes bill as examples of tyranny, Thomas said, "Civil government is due our taxes, prayers, tribute, and submission to lawful authority. It is not due our faith, conscience, or thoughts. It has no divine right to regulate our faith, determine our beliefs, or punish our thoughts. The question Americans must now ask is what should our response be to this tyranny?"
Thomas is the founder and director of the Kingdom Leadership Institute, a Christian parachurch organization that specializes in worldview training and Christ centered leadership. He hosts the popular KLI camp, a weeklong leadership program for youth. He is also the author of, The Kingdom Leadership Institute Manual, based on the Bible's principles of leadership. The back cover to Thomas' new book reads, "Life is not a playground. It is a war zone─a clash of ideas, philosophies, values, and worldviews. It is a violent struggle for the souls of men and the destiny of nations." According to Thomas, the destiny of our republic is at stake. "During the tyranny of King George, the cry from the American colonies was, 'No King but King Jesus!' The fight for independence was over who was Lord and whose laws reigned. It is the same today. Will we bow and pledge our allegiance to King Obama or will we stand and affirm our allegiance to King Jesus? The demand for righteous kingdom leadership is upon us. "
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, The Kingdom Leadership Institute Manual: Raising Up Leaders a Time Like This Demands identifies and equips the next generation of "righteous leaders." The Kingdom Leadership Institute Manual addresses the crisis of leadership in post-election America from a biblical and historical standpoint. A perfect supplement to homeschool curriculums, for Bible study class, small groups, or individual study, it retails for $18.99 plus tax.

"What does it mean to be a Christian? The Apostle Paul adjured us to have 'the mind of Christ.' Unfortunately, in today's culture too many of us don't think like Christians. Instead of Christians being the salt of the earth, we have allowed the world to become the salt of the church. It is time we began in earnest to teach our children how to think and act like Christians. No one addresses these issues better than my friend, Rusty Thomas. His new book, based on his work with young people in the Kingdom Leadership Institute, is sure to change the way our children view the world. He is on the cutting edge in the battle for the hearts and minds of Christian children."

"Today in America, we are engaged in a battle for the very heart and soul of our nation. There are no political remedies, economic bailouts, or educational solutions that will fix us. We are fighting against the devil himself, and the only way to overcome him is by the blood of the lamb, the word of our testimony, and by not loving our own lives so much as to shrink from death (Revelation 12:11). When one perceives the battle in this light, it will change the way he goes about his God-given task. What one perceives the battle to be will determine how he fights it. We serve the kingdom we see (John 5:19) and become like the god we worship (Jeremiah 2:5, Psalm 115:8). The manual you now have in your hands will enable you to see the battle for what it really is and then to fight and win by storming the gates of hell with the gospel of Christ. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ. My dear friend, Rusty, has learned this lesson well. He has lived it out himself and helped others to bring the theology of the church house into the streets of cities across our nation. He has witnessed firsthand the power of God to tear down the devil's strongholds."

Author with family
o What are the three marks of Kingdom leadership?
The three marks are as follows: courage, biblical worldview, and vision. When it comes to courage, I remind the reader of two important truths. First, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but doing what is right in spite of our fears." Second, "Courage, as a Christian virtue in its rawest form, is a willingness to die if necessary for the cause of Christ. In other words, if forced to choose between one's life and one's faith, true courage would inspire the choice of faith." Christians must get over the suffering and death issues in order to effectually advance the cause of Christ in our poor-fallen world. The second attribute for a Kingdom leader is Biblical worldview. In other words, a leader must view the burning issues of the day through the grid of God's word, rather than a humanistic standard. Many Christians in America are more influenced in their worldview by their family background, ethnicity, education, political party system, or other profound influences in their lives. The challenge is to hold up those influences to God's word, if they agree, honor and cherish them, if they don't, they must be disregarded. Only a Biblical worldview can help a leader successfully navigate through the challenges of life by fitting into God's reality, rather than hurling themselves against it. The third virtue is vision. God's word warns, "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he" (Proverbs 29:18). Without vision from inspired leaders, people cast off restraint. They wander from God's protective covering and end up in a moral freefall. They become spiritually and morally naked, which makes them vulnerable to enemies from within and from without. Jesus warned that a person can have perfectly functional eyes and yet not perceive reality. Leaders afflicted by this state, end up becoming the blind leading the blind. Thus both leader and follower wind up in a ditch.
o What was your primary goal in writing your book?
First, I felt an obligation to pass on to the next generation all the precious truths that I had learned fighting the battle for the souls of men, the lives of children, and the future of our nation. Secondly, the book was written to reform the church to restore America to its righteous foundations. The premise being: you cannot have a tyrannical state, without the church first veering from the truth and thus fail in its mission.
o Why did you choose the theme of Christian chivalry and knighthood?
Authentic manhood has been greatly damaged by the rise of feminism in America. It has helped to reinforce in the inherent weakness of men, which are passivity and irresponsibility. I chose the knighthood model to hopefully help men reclaim their masculine identity, manly responsibilities, and return to the male Christian ethic, which places women and children first. In other words, men are at their best laying down their lives for God, family, and country. The goal is to inspire men to move from being predators to becoming protectors, defenders, and proper coverings of women and children once again.
o In your book you mention, "The crisis of our time is one of leadership." Explain. The underlying premise of the book is established upon this fundamental truth: God judges and restores nations based upon leadership. When the sayings and doings of a nation are against the Lord, the consequence is the nation is turned over to weak, inept, and wicked rulers. The culmination of this travesty is discovered in Isaiah 3:12, which states, "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths."
o How would you describe President Obama's leadership?
Obama is God's man. The Lord placed him as President of the United States. Unfortunately, it is not for America's welfare. He is a sign of God's judgment and displeasure upon a nation that is gone a whoring after other gods and the vain philosophies of men. Obama is God's ex-ray into the heart of our nation. He personifies the condition of our civil government that has betrayed their sacred truth by codifying evil into law and defending the indefensible, such as, the evil practices of abortion and homosexuality. He is also the Lord's rebuke to His church that has drawn nigh to God with their lips, but their heart and obedience is far from Him. Obama claims to be a Christian and yet supports policies that violate the commandments of God. It is the height of hypocrisy and our Lord reserved his hottest anger and most biting criticism against it. America is being subject to tyranny and unjust laws as a consequence of our idolatry. Thus, Obama has become the head of a new idolatrous cult, otherwise known as the federal government.
o You also mention, "Life is not a playground. It is a war zone—a clash of worldviews competing for the souls of men and the destiny of nations." Can you elaborate?
The battle that rages for the souls of men and the destiny of nations is described Biblically as a war between two seeds, the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. The seed of the serpent obeys the lies of the Evil One, which keeps them bound to their natural state, which is to be a law and god unto themselves. In other words, they live life based upon their terms, religious or otherwise, instead of the terms set forth by the God who created them and the Savior who died for them. The strategy of this camp for world domination is to adopt the failed agenda of the Tower of Babel, which is to reach into the heavens and vainly attempt to dethrone the God of heaven and earth and replace Him with totalitarian statism. This explains why all the "isms," such as Communism, Socialism, and Nazism, which crush freedom and promote tyranny, all have as their foundational premises the vain philosophies of atheism and evolution. The seed of the woman, however, repents of being a covenant rebel, humbly bows before the majesty of God, and receives Christ's salvation by faith and publicly declares, "not my will, but thine be done." It is this seed line that underscores the vital nature of our Lord's admonishment, "You must be born-again to enter or see the Kingdom of God."
o Patriarchy is a dirty word in today's culture yet you use the term often in your book. What is biblical patriarchy?
You cannot write a book on leadership and avoid the name or its implications for the family, church, and our culture. According to Weldon M. Hardenbrook, "The biblical term patriarchy is derived from two words in the Greek language. 'Patria' is taken from the word pater, father, which means family; and 'archy,' which means, beginning, first in origin and to rule. A 'patriarch' is a family ruler. He is the man in charge." I not only agree with the definition, but also add my amen to Mr. Hardenbrook's exhortation, "But whether we use this word (patriarchy) or not, without its recovery, without its function being made known and its reality working in society, there is absolutely no clear positive way to redeem the male identity." This particular chapter challenges men to return to their God-ordained position, role, and function to restore divine order and the blessing it provides for women, children, and society.
o In keeping with that question, you also wrote a chapter on Biblical femininity. Can you briefly comment on this chapter?
The two main reasons for these chapters are to reveal the inherent weakness within men and women, which is ignored to the detriment of families and society. The other purpose was to point out the confusion generated by the misunderstanding between function and value as it pertains to women. As stated previously, the sin nature, which manifests in men, typically leads to passivity and irresponsibility. Men are typically passive when it comes to God's righteousness and aggressive when it comes to wickedness. When the going gets tough and manhood is required, men tend to take off and become irresponsible. For women, the inherent weakness within them is to manipulate, control, and dominate men. The combination of passive males and dominating females has created the sexual confusion that is running rampant in this generation. In value, Christ loves us all the same. Men are not superior and women are not inferior when it comes to the salvation of the Lord. There is, however, a marked difference when it comes to function and the distinctive roles God established between men and women. The divine order is God is the head of Christ, Christ is the head of the man, and man is the head of the woman (1 Corinthians 11:3). I know our modern day era chafes against this revelation, but it is true nonetheless. Most of the dysfunction in our families can be traced to ignorance of the inherent weaknesses manifested through gender and violation of God's order in the marriage covenant.
o In society we hear a lot about freedom─ "freedom of choice," "freedom of sexual orientation," "freedom from want." In your book you define freedom differently. What is the correct definition of freedom?
Our Founding Fathers believed that there were two main enemies to freedom, licentiousness amongst the citizenry and tyranny in civil government. Both are manifesting under our watch. Biblically and historically in America, true freedom was not the allowance to do what we want to do, when we want to do it, and with whomever we want to do it with. Freedom in this case leads to anarchy, which unchecked leads to tyranny. The freedom they fought and died to secure is the freedom to do what is right. John Adams clearly stated, "Our Constitution was made for only a religious and moral people. It is entirely unsuitable for any other." George Washington asserted that religion and morality were the firmest supports for liberty. Let not any man claim himself a patriot who would undermine them.
o You also explore the issue of education in your book. You look at it more from a jurisdictional perspective. Could you explain?
Education in the Latin means to "pour in and draw out." When we examine the condition of our youth culture, I believe it is prudent to examine what is being poured into our children by the state-run schools and what is being drawn out. I believe many of our societal woes, such as, illiteracy, moral depravity, and loss of saving-faith that is running rampant in this generation can be traced back to government schools. Most believe, however, that the sources of failure in public education are due to lack of money or the need for better teachers. We have spent billions of dollars pursuing this course of action. Has the quality of education improved? Not hardly, and for one main reason, education at its core is not just a matter of money or teachers, it is a jurisdictional issue. In other words, nowhere in the Bible does God ordain the state to teach our young. Education does not fall within the parameters of their civil functions. The primary government responsible for the education of our children is family government. Parents and not the state are responsible before God to train up their children. When Americans submit their children to the state to educate in their stead, untold damage results: unruly children, parental despair, national calamity, and a major issue for the church, 85 % of Christian young people renounce their faith by their first year in college. What other business can remain solvent, if they failed 85 % of the time? And yet most of America and the church refuse to connect the dots between public education and the failure of our families, church, and nation.
o In your book, you describe your family. How many children do you have? Do you homeschool? What is life like with so many children?
I am a Kingdom man seeking to raise a Kingdom family for the glory of God. We have a multi-generational vision to advance God's Kingdom in the earth. As a result, we have been blessed with 13 children. From the very beginning, we decided to homeschool our children based upon the teaching found in Deuteronomy 6, which states, "Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." Based upon this passage I state in the book, "loving God is the greatest commandment and the greatest application of this commandment is home education." Life in the Thomas Nation is never boring. There are many challenges in seeking to raise godly children in today's world, but it also very rewarding when we see them fulfill what the Apostle John wrote, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth (3 John 4)."
o How can people contact you? The best way to contact us is through our website Elijah Ministries.
o The Bible teaches that when a nation forgets the law of God, God forgets our children (Hosea 4:6). As it stands, the American culture is influencing our children; they are not influencing the culture. Their bodies may be sitting in our church pews but their bodies and minds belong to the secular world.
o The Barna Research Group, a market research firm that focuses on faith and culture, reveals the Mosaic generation, those between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four, are "more than twice as likely as all other adults to engage in behaviors considered morally inappropriate by traditional standards. Their choices made even the Baby Boomers─never regarded as a paragon of traditional morality─look like moral pillars in comparison." Traditional morality is dying.
o "Less than one-half of one percent…in the Mosaic generation have a biblical worldview." The biblical worldview that framed our country is being dismantled. o And what about Christian young people? The Nehemiah Institute surveys Christian children in secular and Christian schools, comparing their worldviews. According to the Nehemiah Institute, eighty-five percent of youth from Christian homes who attend government schools do not embrace even a nominal biblical worldview.
o These same young people register on the worldview scale one step away from socialism. They register on the lower half of humanism, which is one step away from socialism.
o The majority of Christian youth who attend private Christian schools register in the top half of a humanistic worldview.
o Socialism is being erected on the ruins of freedom. The Obama Administration is merely enacting the "core values" that have been taught in our public schools and colleges for decades.
o President Obama is a product of a secularized America and a sign of God's judgment. God judges and restores nations based upon leadership (Judges; Isaiah 3:12). Fundamentally, the crisis of our time is one of leadership.
