Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.
Read what our customers say about our Personalized Christmas Ornaments and their shopping experience!
"Received my ornaments yesterday and they are absolutely beautiful. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect because I have never ordered anything like this on-line before and because they are for my family, I was a little hesitant because I want them to be "the perfect ornament" (and they are). I will be coming back here next year to order my ornaments again. The ornaments were much bigger than I thought they would be and the personalizing was perfect, not one flaw.Crystal G."
"I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ornament I ordered! Sometimes I am leary when ordering personalized items that are handwritten rather than computer-inscribed... especially when my words were kind of long... this one came out beautifully! THANK YOU! Patricia S. "
"This is the second time I've ordered from the Ornament Shop. Both times I've been very impressed with quality ,uniqueness and price of the ornaments. Plus everyone I give an Ornament to, can't wait to put it up on their Christmas Tree. Thank You, Susan G."

AACR 2012: AZD3514 a new prostate cancer drug to watch
As Sally Church, PhD noted on Pharma Strategy Blog, the 2012 annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), recently held in Chicago, showcased many new cancer products in early development.
Cancer new products have a high attrition rate as they move through the development pipeline, so any promising results seen in early stages of development must be viewed with caution.
Results from laboratory studies using cell lines or trials in animals do not always translate into new drugs that work in man, e.g. they may have an unacceptable toxicity, not target the driver mutation, or adaptive resistance may just lead to the cancer bypassing the blocked pathway.

Cleveland's Michael Symon Writes Love Letter to Hometown
Read the letter and tell us what you love about Cleveland
Chef Michael Symon, owner of Eton Plaza's B-Spot and other area restaurants, showed a little emotion and a lot of Cleveland pride in a touching love letter to Cleveland for The Huffington Post today.
Raised in North Olmsted and a graduate of Lakewood's St. Edward High School, he reminisces about places all over the area:
I remember when I was young and I would spend my entire weekends with you and my grandfather: heading to the Eastside and staying with my grandparents; taking the rapid Downtown; shopping at the Westside Market with all its fabulous aromas of smoked meats and baked breads. It is here I found my true love for food, for going to the historic Terminal Tower to pick up my Grandma at Higbees and heading back east to cook split pea soup with smoked ham hocks and ribs.
What do you love about Cleveland and its suburbs? Tell us in the comments!

I love the "big city" feeling - there's always something to do, and I can walk anywhere I need to go. And the hometown pride here can't be beat!

Here is my Dear Cleveland letter, which I wrote last year and which was also selected to be read on National Public Radio's State of the Reunion program (in Segment B, found here:
You can read the text on my blog, here (as Patch says it's too long to post here in the comments). http://stateofthereunion.com/home/season-2-2/cleveland-oh
I love Northeast Ohio!
1:19 am on Thursday, May 17, 2012
The Cleveland area is a place of great ethnicity. We have the lake and beaches -- we don't need to fly somewhere else for it. We have a theatre district that offers a rich culture experience. We showcase the 'Rock Hall of Fame' and many wonderful and exciting museums. Cleveland has a LOT to offer! I grew here.
Jason Lea

A note emailed to me by J. Schaefer:
Cleveland will always be a part of my heart. It has etched itself into sacred and irreplaceable childhood memories that are now held dear.
Our neighborhood off Lee Road was like a small hometown within the larger city. There was a value system that extended past our tiny, post-war house (where I knew every nook, cranny and squeak in the stairs) to every neighbor on the street. It was like your Mom and Dad had MANY eyes in the back of their heads and you knew to get in trouble would not only shame you, but also embarrass them in our small, extended community. You just knew not to do this, though, once in a while you did screw up. Life with it's value system and rules was a bit clearer back then.
Jason Lea
11:44 am on Thursday, May 17, 2012
Schaefer's message continued:
My neighborhood seemed huge, too. It extended from Scottsdale Avenue all the way to Harvard Avenue. I could be gone all day within that parameter and my Mom had little worry. Life seemed safer back then.
The sights I remember--downtown at Christmas--how exciting to the imagination of a small child! Nela Park--we always went there as part of our Christmas tradition. And, down at the end of our street were the stringed lights of the corner Christmas tree lot where my Dad and I would find that "perfect tree" every year! Dads appeared kind of larger-than-life back then.
I recall taking the Rapid Transit to downtown Cleveland once a month so my Mom could get her hair done at Higbee's. While she did that, I "owned" the store--every floor of it!--and felt the freedom to explore each one with no fear! Life was a bit simpler back then.
Jason Lea
11:45 am on Thursday, May 17, 2012
We would go to Mills Restaurant for lunch after her "do" was done and walk past that nut shop on the square. Geez, that part of Cleveland smelled sooo good back then, too!
My best friend, Barb, and I would play with our Barbie and Revlon dolls and good old "Mr. Rabbit" for hours in her front yard and no one thought us odd for still enjoying dolls at our pre-pubescent ages. Childhood, in the march of time, lasted much longer back then.
My Dad would take Mom and me to Friendly's Ice Cream in Cleveland Heights on the weekend for a cone after going to Mawby's for the best hamburgers in the world! Being a kid, I loved twirling round and round on their stools! We would attend plays at Cain Park in the summer. On Easter Sunday, we would stroll around the lake at the Cleveland Museum of Art and view everyone dressed in their Easter finery--as we were, too.
In the fall, we would take rides for apples out into the countryside of Chesterland and never see a freeway during the whole excursion. Common scenery seemed more visually beautiful and interesting back then.
I've left many memories out because this was developing into a novelette, but my glasses are VERY rose-colored regarding Cleveland. I wish nothing but the best of everything for it's future because it was and still remains "the BEST location in the nation!"
2:44 pm on Thursday, May 17, 2012
Cleveland and the surrounding area has it all! Moved here in '96 from FL and have never looked back. You never run out of things to do, places to see, and it's beautiful too. Some areas look like Europe or New England -- charming towns with gazebos and commons. There's so much to do and the summers are glorious! Fall too! I love the sun shining on crystal snow and huge snowflakes falling! I've never understood the bad rap that Cleveland gets from comedians/media. There is the "ocean" lake without the sharks! This is the longest I've lived anywhere and no need to leave because it has everything from sports to symphony to Cleveland Clinic plus a reasonable cost of living.

A new study has quantified just how under-represented woman are in France's public teaching of history. Out of 339 figures from around the world and across the centuries whose biographies are included in French high schools new history books, only 11 are women, according to the study conducted by Hubertine Auclert, a feminist research center.
Moreover, the study criticized the portraits for being simplistic and stereotypical: Marie-Antoinette is described as a carefree and whimsical queen; others, like Germanys Angela Merkel or Frances Segolène Royal are only represented photographs -- sans captions.
Typically, women are depicted as mothers, daughters or wives, and their role is often limited to biological and educational purposes. They are very rarely shown as actively taking part in the making of history.
Crucial issues -- like womens suffrage, or the fact that women were not eligible for Athenian citizenship -- are well documented, but women remain insufficiently and inadequatly represented in these new manuals.

Yup, I've tried many times to get people to write to or call corporate of stores or magazines to get people to rally behind me, as I let them know how wrong and offensive it is to see such filth in the grocery store isles. Our children are reading these article headlines and should not be exposed to it. Yet no one joins me. When I complain about a commercial or tv show to other Christians, they respond with a "oh, it's just a little light hearted fun, stop forcing your ways down other people's throats." Or some other similar response. So while we aren't to force our ways on others, are we having other's ways forced on us because we don't complain like other groups do? And is it right for us to do that or is it right for us not to do that? I mean, what we are supposed to do? Will we answer for NOT doing anything, or will we answer for SUPPORTING the wrong thing?
I don't know, I guess your last paragraph kind of nails it there SOJ. It makes me think of a verse that says "for it is a shame to even TALK about those evil things that are done in the dark."
Wow well done, my hat off to you. I want to be on your side when we take our nation back.
What God has deemed as sin is sin, and shall remain sin till the end, no matter how much the world attempts to justify a sin as somehow no longer sin, because they merely say so; such is futile. Moreover the title of any particular sin is irrelevant with God, and again, just because the world gives an emotional response to a particular sin they like, a sin in which they embrace, and have even made an acceptable behavior in the world, in the end it is still sin. Therefore in this topic, all that we would be talking about is proceeding from sin to sin, and nothing more; so such a thing should not even be a question to them which believe, except they still have one foot in the world.
This popped up this morning in my Youtube feed:

Truth. You know, the saddest thing is, one day, millions of homosexuals will stand before the Lord and wish they had been more concerned with their "wrongs" than their "rights."
Did you see this one, just 6 days ago? Now prosecutorial activism, along with presidential activism on the DOMA (federal Defense of Marriage Act), in the form of refusing to prosecute anyone under marriage protection laws enacted by the respective legislatures is preempting even the courts!
We must not kid ourselves we can trust any branch of government.Ill. Prosecutors Refuse To Defend Gay Marriage Ban
by The Associated Press
text size A A A
CHICAGO June 21, 2012, 10:19 am ET
CHICAGO (AP) — Twenty-five Illinois couples were prepared for a long legal fight when they joined lawsuits challenging the state's ban on gay marriage. Turns out they won't get one — at least not from the attorneys who would normally be responsible for defending the state's laws.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez have refused to defend the 16-year-old ban, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman, saying it violates the state constitution's equal protection clause.
The decision has raised eyebrows among some legal experts who believe prosecutors are legally bound to defend Illinois law, and sets up a scenario where a judge could quickly strike down the marriage statute. Supporters of the ban say it's unconscionable that there might be nobody in court to defend it, and some are strategizing over how to intervene.
"I took an oath when I was sworn in to defend the constitution of the state of Illinois and I believe that's what I'm doing," Alvarez said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm not going to defend something I believe is in violation of the constitution."
Madigan, who did not respond to a request for comment, plans to file arguments next week in support of the lawsuits, which could be consolidated into one case.
The move, sure to thrust Illinois into the national spotlight as federal and other state courts wrestle with the gay marriage issue, was greeted with enthusiasm by couples involved in the lawsuits. ... SEE the rest of the article at http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...eillinois.html
Worse yet, we cannot trust the political system, ... because, really, we cannot trust the electorate. Currently, 6 jurisdictions, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Iowa, New Hampshire, and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriage, while 7 jurisdictions, Illinois, New Jersey, Nevada, Washington, Hawaii, California and Oregon provide some spousal rights for same-sex couples entering into legal partnerships pursuant to state law, usually with some form of "civil union" law. Civil unions parallel marriage statutes already on the books, and redefine what a "spouse" is.
In addition, Illinois is one of 22 jurisdictions which give special employment discrimination protection to individuals on the basis of sexual orientation.
Finally, churches and religious organizations are highly vulnerable to attacks by individuals, groups and government for what is being increasingly interpreted as sexual orientation discrimination. The result can be loss of tax exempt status, fines, huge damage awards and huge defense costs.
In the case of the Catholic Dioceses in Illinois, for example, they were forced to either agree to refer adoptive and foster children to same-sex couples, or lose their right to continue their over 100 years of ministry in those fields. So, they caved, and gave up those ministries, completely.
The ways are many through which these laws will attempt to take out huge segments of religious freedom without a single direct battle over the First Amendment. (But be assured, the solution is not to go the way of the Catholic Dioceses of Illinois. There are still sound ways to fight without any compromise at all, through sharp, Christian legal advice.)New Ill. Civil Unions Law Forces Catholic Charities Out of Foster Care, Adoption
For more than 100 years, Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Rockford, Ill. has been caring for orphaned children. Much of their work came to an end on Wednesday when the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Unions Act took effect.
Policymakers did not include a religious exemption, so Catholic Charities halted its state-funded foster care and adoption services because the new law may have forced them to place children with unmarried or cohabitating couples (heterosexual or homosexual). The Heritage Foundation, on its blog, pointed out that, "Faith-based adoption agencies are potentially vulnerable to increased liability if they continue to follow their moral convictions and refuse to place children in homes headed by unmarried couples."
"As you may know, the Catholic Church does not condone same‐sex unions or unmarried cohabitation between individuals of the opposite sex," said diocesan communications director Penny Wiegert at a press conference last week. "We believe in the natural order of marriage and the Sacrament of Matrimony between one man and one woman. We also believe and promote the optimal God‐given privilege of every child to be reared in a safe and loving family with a committed and loving male father and female mother whenever possible."
She continued, "Catholic Charities and other religious agencies implored the State of Illinois to allow their agencies to refer civil union couples to other adoption and foster care agencies so as to not violate the moral teachings of their faith."
Tragically, she said, that did not happen. The immediate result of the new law will be the transfer of 191 foster care families and approximately 350 children to other adoption agencies in the state. The diocese will close more than half its offices (four of seven) and lay off 58 caseworkers and employees. ...

But look at these things:
Evangelicals and churches who hold to the truth of the Word, remember:Churches Forced to Vacate Following City Ban on Worship in Public Schools
Across America many churches have been started by holding their services in local public schools. These churches have been blessed to be able to use their local public school buildings in order to start and grow their churches.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to review a legal appeal of the New York City ban on worship services being held in public school buildings. The Supreme Court's refusal to review the case means the Second Circuit's decision will stand. This will result in more than sixty churches being given 30 days to find new places to meet and worship. Please pray for these church families during this time of difficulty and pray that the U.S. court system will change its path in this area; pray that churches will legally be able to keep the right to use public school facilities across America.
The IRS is More Closely Scrutinizing Churches and Non-Profits
This past year the IRS has revoked the tax-exempt status of 275,000 nonprofit organizations. With a federal deficit in excess of $1.5 trillion, the government is certainly seeking revenue wherever possible. Churches qualify for exemption from federal income tax under IRS section 501(c)(3) and are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. A church is not tax-exempt by simply being a church. The following are several key requirements that the IRS is heavily scrutinizing like never before:
- The Church must be organized with by-laws and operated exclusively for religious or charitable purposes
- Net earnings may not inure to the benefit of any private individual or owner
- No substantial part of its activity may be attempting to influence legislation
- The organization may not intervene in political campaigns
-- Excerpts from http://www.christianlaw.org/cla/inde...h_for_in_2012/
But let's not digress to speak of the environmentalism movement as well.1 Timothy 4
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
4 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.
Instead, let us pray and speak to one another so long as it is called today, so long as there is light, as a time will come when no one can work. But if they could have silenced us by now, they would have.
And consider this: How much infiltration of the enemy is there, really, within our ranks. I can list 20 major denominations that are openly on the side of the enemy. But how many are within our ranks, and the ranks of those who used to be strong? Why did the Rockford, Illinois Catholics fall so easy? Now what are the Illinois Diocese recommending in the way of compromise with the World on spousal/same-sex partner benefit plans, but their own version of 'Don't Ask/Don't Tell'?
We must be watchful, and shrewd as snakes, yes. But we must also do all we can to snatch as many as possible from the flames. Let us heed Jesus:
Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. Revelation 3:2.
... I don't know. I've buried this information in a comment string. Most won't take alarm. And if I acted as if the sky were falling, I'd be ignored anyway.
The truth is, prayer is the key, along with thoughtful action based on many advisers. But giving up, caving in, admitting they've won, accepting defeat, quitting because we are tired, ... these are not in our Christian vocabulary.
We are more than conqueror's brothers and sisters. And God is on our side. They would have no power if it had not been given to them. And we have a resource they know nothing about ....
What is the battle you cannot afford to lose, if you hope to win the war?
The last one.
Isaiah 40:23
He it is who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.
Hi, Soj.AojouenER SAID: Yet, we also have to be realistic about the current world system, and realize Satan is the god of it--to the extent that God allows Him to be. We are clearly told that things will get progressively worse in the last days. Just because we're opposed to it doesn't mean we can stop it from happening. Astated in the article, I intend to keep shining my light right up until the end comes. But I will no longer engage in endless debates with the same people over and over, who think homosexuality is being singled out and picked on; and that calling it a sin is the same as hating homosexuals.
We're citizens of the kingdom of God, and we should be focusing on bringing new citizens into it, rather than engaging in endless, fruitless arguments with citizens of this world system who oppose both God and godliness--both the wolves and the progressive wolves in sheep's clothing
So yes, shine that light by all means. But shine it for those who are seeking it, rather than wasting it by illuminating what goes on in the darkness. Those who prefer darkness to light are a waste of time better spent illuminating the path to Jesus. Failing in that responsibility is what we will give an God to account for--not for failing to change the world around us.
Excellent, well-balanced article.
Of course, as my post above points out, NOW is always right now. And NOW is NEVER the time to give up.
What's been our duty toward the Gentiles for the past 2,980 odd years since Acts 2?
Shine the light, preach the Word, claim our rights opnly so far as necessary to do effective ministry. Paul claimed his rights as a Citizen of Rome, but not to save his skin or his point of view or his way of life, be it cultural or economic. Rather, as you know all to well, brother , he claimed his rights in order to find the most effective way to minister in Rome, as guided by the HS. He was warned against returning to Jerusalem, but he boldly did so anyway, back into the maw of those who sought to crush him. He took refuge with the enemies of the Jewish people, and he turned their own laws against them in order to accomplish the Lord's design. He got to preach the Truth before a wide array of insiders and leaders of the day.
As with all 'social issues', things are unique here in the USA because ostensibly we have a representative government of the individual, for the individual, by all individuals (not the way Honest Abe would've said it, but I think it is more accurate to what we expect around these here parts today).
What is our duty to the society we live in -- albeit in it but not of it?
Jesus did not pray we be taken out of the world, but qath we would be protected from the evil one. You do well to point out his command of things.
But do be careful, brother. While matters seem to be getting worse and worse worldwide and you and I cannot see a foreseeable Christian change, two things remain true:
1. No one knows when the Son of Man will revisit; and
2. There is nothing different about how we should be acting the day of the Acts 2 Pentecost and the way we should be acting on July 4, 1776 and the way we should be acting today. Nothing.
As to the first point, we can lose every bastian of a free "Christian nation" in this world, and yet He may not come for 36 more millenia or even millions of years. Why not trillions of years? So, there can be a whole lot of darkness in the world and for a long time, and it can be cruel and miserable for a long, long time before He comes. It is really overblown for us, me included, when we start thinking the end times are upon us, such that suddenly we ought to wake with a start and do what we haven't before, acting like it the end is upon us. The enemy has had antichrists in the world fromthe beginning. So, why ought we to think the world's affairs today are so unique? We are to be watchful, yes. But we must not be deceived into throwin gin the towel The enemy wants us guilty as snakes and oblivious as doves, instead of what Jesus said:
So, as to the second point, how ought we to be acting? Revolution? Exodus? Compromise? Die on the horns of the homosexual dilemma? Live and die by what the Christian rights attorney groups can and cannot get done? No. We are to live, now and since the first Chrstian Pentecost, as the light of the world. And that light must not go out, if we want to enter the kingdom. (parable fo the virgins and the wedding feast). My beef with the church is not that we are not political enough. My beef is that we are not true disciples enough.Matthew 10:16
16 " Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.
Our light should shine as an overflow of the heart. If it is not, our hearts are not purely set on Jesus, and so we are not just like Him, and the Spirit is not being discharged from us, as it was with Jesus, Peter, Paul, and others.
That's not due to a general cessation of spiritual gifts, except for our own cessation or failure to even initiate, ... because our own hearts are impure and our own minds are not renewed.
So, who here can say exactly why we ought to care why the society we live in hates Christian marriage and what we should do in light of that?
Awesome article, with some extremely spiritually astute points. Love your analysis of sanctification here, and how the lie of homosexulaity renders it impossible. Many other excellent points.
Don't forget this one:
The homosexual movement is an arm of Satan to destroy the Christian church in the USA.
In light of that, what ought we to do?
Why is God allowing this?
Why will it mostly succeed?
What will be left?
What will the true remnant look like?
What should the true remnant be doing right now before it is over?
Hello Eyelog,
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. I agree with everything you said, and believe that we as American citizens have the right to voice our opinions, both publicly, and to our elected representatives, to the extent that our votes are able to affect change. And certainly, as Christians, we are to keep our light high on a hill where all can see it. We are witnesses to the truth of the approach of God's kingdom upon the earth, which will crush Satan's power and bring him and his minions under the wrath and judgment of our God and His Christ. Those who belong to God will recognize the truth, and those who do not will reject it and our testimony. I will continue to shine the light until either the Lord returns, or I else I depart this earthly life to sleep in Jesus.
I will not however, continue to squander my time engaged in the same inane, fruitless debates with argumentative people who have their minds made up that we are unfairly picking on homosexuals every time the juggernaut of the gay agenda is addressed. There are literally dozens of threads on this forum, with the same people making the same endless arguments over and over. As I said earlier, we are not called to clean up the pond, but to fish in it. This present world system is Satan's kingdom, but we are mandated and empowered only to draw individuals out of it into God's kingdom. I will endeavor, to the best of my abilities, to lead those so willing into the marvelous light of Jesus--and leave the rest to the Lord. God bless.
Well I'm glad we could put this debate to rest and not have the same endless arguments.
The fact is, homosexuality is sin. It says it in the scriptures clear as day.
It also says that Christ is our divine savior, which is the truest fact of all. But not everyone believes that. And the fact is, they're all wrong. It's a shame that these other people in the world can't see the light of Christ--The scriptures give us the word of God, plain and simple. God hands us everything on a silver platter, and yet people reject the word.
Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, you name it. All of these people have rejected the scriptures and the light of Christ, and they will burn mercilessly in eternal hellfire for following their false edicts. Add gays to to the long list of unbelievers.
But at least we know that we're right. And we will prevail in the end, over these people who cling to their false testimonies of God. They can't see past their ignorance to the truth that is Christ. They're too caught up in all the lies to realize that the truth has been in front of us this whole time. They were just too caught up in their own little false realities to realize that our world of Christ is the true path.
Excellent thinking. I do agree with your view. I find it interesting that 1960 prayer had been removed from the classroom shortly after the sexual revolution ensued. We need to maintain a solid Christian perspective for ever.
This is a really well written article. For me, when people say "gay marriage", it sets off so many alarm bells in my head, I just can't ignore it. My inital thoughts are "seriously gay marriage, you have got to be kidding."
As a christian and believer in the bible, gay marriage is double defilement of both natural relations and the sanctity of marriage. Going back to Genesis are the two basic foundations of who we are and how we are created :- that is Gods intention of natural relations (male and female) and the sanctity of marriage (Between a male and female).
However, I can understand those in the world, who reject christianity having to problem with gay marriage. Most are not interested in God in their lives, but just living life as they see fit. For them I guess it is a matter of human rights, the right to reject God and the right to live whatever lifestyle they choose to without being discriminated against in terms of the law of the land. Unfortunately for them, they do not realize thier decisions have consequences, both in this life and unto eternity.
On one side, I feel saddened for them and do not agree with any physical harming of them, such as stoning of the woman caught in Adultery, as thier own actions will in the end condemn themselves. Yet I think as Christians, we should still have the right to take a stand against the sin in thier life. That is love show compassion and forgiveness towards the sinner, yet hate the sin.
It is easy to be anti-gay, but when those who live that life-style are your friends or family, it does take on a different perspective. We can have compassion and forgiveness for them, while still standing against the life-style and sin in thier life.
Thank you, chad. Yes, gay marriage, like abortion, will remain a hot button issue with Christians. We are in the world, but not of the world, and must strike a balance. We must remain a light of testimony, yet also realize we cannot change the current world system. Nor are we called to do so. It's a hard thing to accept that civil rights in America must remain separate and distinct from God and godliness--especially given the deep, abiding faith in God embraced by most of the founders, who actually designed the system in the first place. It is highly improbable that the sanctioning of homosexual marriage would have ever even occurred to them, and it is highly unlikely they would have approved of it. That however, is a moot point today.
Ultimately, this world system belongs to Satan, his minions, and those who wallow in ungodliness. Our national moral compass is so broken today that American society will almost certainly never find its way back to God. Sin is like a fatal spiritual epidemic, and the only inoculation is the blood of Jesus, and those who reject it, do so to at their own peril. All we can do is keep shining the light on the strait and narrow path for those who choose to follow it. It's tragic that so many are oblivious to the foolishness and eternal consequences of choosing the wrong path, but it's a choice we all must make for ourselves.
I agree wholeheartedly. So sad to see the world headed this way. Legislation in our country comes with the added concern that it will be included in the sex education classes of public schools ... i.e. teaching our kids that same sex marriages are o.k and normal etc.
I can relate to your opening point... as this particular sin seems to have opened the door to evermore defiant & aggressive sinful attitudes... except for our struggle has been with a young female family member...
even though she'd always known the Biblical forewarnings against indulging such sexually immoral carnal impulses (including the heterosexual sins of fornication & adultery)...
she still "came out" as gay about 2 years ago; with a very ardent, activist lesbian partner... both of them were making demands on the family to accept, approve & endorse "who she is"... or else we'd be "intolerant bigots"... "especially since several (straight) family members had 'gotten away with' adultery & fornication" (was their foundation for excuse)... & nevermind about those who openly admitted how they came to repentance for those sins...
although I've repeatedly tried to advocate for peace & allowing others their right to their own beliefs... no matter how many times I've pleaded; please? can we just agree to disagree? or live & let live?... they both seem to have developed an increasingly reprobate mind against God, His Word & His Believers...
sadly their attitudes are eerily similar to those pagan homosexuals in Romans 1...
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
Arrrrgghhh!!! They just legalized gay marriage in the country I live in. Never before has the light of the gospel become so apparent to me. Christians and Christian churches voiced their opposition, even presenting scripture and all the biblical reasons as why Gay Marriage should not be legalized.
Unfortunately, this fell on deaf ears on the majority of those elected into power. Some opposed, but it was largely a majority vote that has now allowed gay marriage to become legal in our country.
Over 2,000 years ago, Paul wrote to the Romans. 2,000 years later, I am amazed at the wisdom and truth of God written by the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:18-32. The fallen world has rejected God and Gods truth, some have rejected natural relationships between a man and a woman and now we have the re-definition of marriage and the acceptance of homosexual marriage as natural and equal?
Never before in human history, can I recall there being an acceptance of marriage between a man and a man and a woman and a woman. I can only think of the coming judgement of God that will fall on the nations that have allowed this to happen and the couples who proceed with same sex marriage.
Although the homosexual community think they have won, in my opinion they really have not. I would think that the re-definition of marriage and the defiling of Gods institution of marriage can only bring judgement, the worst judgement being the rejection of God and salvation in their lives. Unfortunately, this holds eternal consequences.

What a great hallway, Amy! I love your furniture and the colors you've used here. I also love the layout. I know a lot of people just hang a few pictures and call it done, thinking its just a means to get to a destination and not part of the actual destination, but I always love to look at hallways as part of the rooms of the home, too.

Internet Pioneer Aaron Swartz, 26, Commits Suicide
The Highland Park native helped create the RSS feed when he was 14. He was facing federal charges at the time of his death. His funeral is Tuesday at Central Avenue Synagogue.
Aaron Swartz, a Highland Park native and activist for free content on the Internet, was found dead Friday in his Brooklyn apartment in an apparent suicide, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. He was 26. Swartz helped create the RSS feed, which allows people to subscribe to information online, when he was just 14, according to an article in the New York Times. He also helped foundReddit, a social news website. He went on to become an activist for free online content, which landed him in trouble with the federal government in 2011 when he was indicted for gaining illegal access to a subscription-based service that distributes literary and scientific journals and then downloading nearly its entire library CNN quoted a statement from Swartz's …

Saturday, January 29th, 2011from HUSTLER Magazine January 2011
He poses as a journalist and a publisher. In reality, Andrew (not so) Breitbart is a rightwing propagandist intent on bringing down the Obama Administration while advancing Republican objectives. Possessing a black belt in lying, this refugee from Hell's Internet will stoop to any trick or act of duplicity. That includes, most certainly, race-baiting.
Breitbart, a keynote speaker at the first National Tea Party Convention and a selfconfessed bitch of conservative blogger Matt Drudge, first came to our attention as a result of the ACORN scandal.You remember ACORN, right?
That grassroots organization helped the poor and disenfranchised with healthcare, affordable housing, voter registration and other social concerns. Back in 2009 James O'Keefe posing as a pimp (sort of) visited eight ACORN offices with an undercover camera and an accomplice named Hannah Giles, who played the role of a hooker (sort of). O'Keefe's footage wound up on Fox News Channel, which presented it as proof that ACORN staffers were willing to help individuals set up a prostitution ring. Due to the controversy, ACORN lost funding and eventually closed all of its offices.
One problem with the above: It was all precipitated by lies, largely the result of trick editing. (ACORN has since been exonerated by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and the attorneys general of California and Kings County, New York.) Guess who put O'Keefe up to stinging ACORN? Andrew Breitbart. Because of him, a noble institution went down the tubes.
Shirley Sherrod was the target of a similar sham. Once again, Breitbart in an alleged collaboration with Fox News released a highly doctored tape. This one seemingly revealed a federal employee using her position to discriminate against whites. As with ACORN, that charge has since been proven completely false.
So you must ask yourself: What kind of person is so lacking in morals and ethics that he would ruin a person's life with lies and distortions?
Breitfart, as some refer to him, got his start as a suck-up to Matt Drudge, who also treats the truth as if it were Silly Putty something to be molded any which way you choose. What Breitbart did for Drudge isn't entirely clear because the former protegé refuses to talk about it. We're guessing it had to do with Drudge's laundry and housekeeping. (We wouldn't want to talk about that either.)
Breitbart worked with Drudge for the better part of ten years. Then, with his brain sufficiently addled by Drudge's upside-down, reversed-mirror politics, he parted ways with his mentor. Afraid to go solo, Breitbart coproduced a documentary about the suicide of Clinton Administration appointee Vince Foster.The account was so inept, the History Channel never ran it. Then he coauthored Hollywood, Interrupted , a book you can buy on Amazon for $1.99.
Finally, after an apparent failed interlude with Arianna Huffington, Breitbart found the courage to go it alone. He launched Breitbart.com, then the Web sites Big Hollywood, Big Government and Big Journalism—all, in Breitbart's own words, aimed at bringing down the "institutional left." Meanwhile, Breitbart.com comes across as an attention deficit disorder schematic. (The Web mogul has reportedly been diagnosed with ADD.) Since the site is successful, it's fair to say Breitbart has, in effect, crawled up his own ass and built a cathedral.
Breitbart thinks he's intelligent because he has a talent for hurting people with falsehoods and half-truths. Too bad there's no test that considers lying to be a valid measure of intelligence. If there were, we admit, Breitbart would be an off-the-charts genius. Since there isn't, we see only a sick and confused ego rampaging through the media and blogosphere like a bull (with mad cow disease) in a china shop. Discredited by the public at large, Breitbart faces at least one lawsuit for libel (from Shirley Sherrod), with more to follow we suspect. (Those ACORN people are plenty mad.)
Message to Andrew Breitbart: Remember all those teachers and classmates who told you what a pathetic loser you were back in school? The ones you have spent your whole life trying to prove wrong? They were right! You are a loser, Andrew. Mrs. Sherrod should have little difficulty in proving malice for what you did.And that could cost you a fortune.That very fragile house of cards you've built may come tumbling down on you and your family.
Like your right-wing minions, you seem to believe the truth is malleable. You cannot say black is white, or up is down, or sweet is sour. Well, you can say it, but you'd be wrong. And when you slander people, there are legal consequences.
You've dug a deep shithole for yourself, Andy boy, and now you'll have to try climbing out of it. Too bad your Republican friends have pulled up the ladder and turned their backs on you. They see the writing on the wall, and by now so should you.
Finally, Mr. Breitbart, here's a lesson on libel law: You, sir, are an Asshole.We can say that without fear of contradiction or legal

Practical Multimedia Techniques in Linux
You've been through the basics of playing sound and editing videos on your Linux system. Now take a step closer to the tools and techniques of the experts.
Hardware and software vendors long ago solved the problem of integrating computers with standard peripherals like printers and disk drives. The emphasis of the last few years has been on incorporating devices that were once considered quite separate from the realm of the home computer. Your computer, of course, is quite good at helping with anything digital, so it is no wonder developers have focused on using computers to manage the output from tools such as digital cameras and digital audio equipment. Linux users, who are technically curious as a group, are often the first in line to try these new techniques. The mainstream Linux systems are packed with multimedia software – media players, video editors, CD burners, sequencers, and synthesizers, and even more tools are available on the Internet. But it is often difficult to find practical documentation for how to use these tools in real situations.

Liberal court packing in our future?
Some liberals are day-dreaming about packing the Supreme Court.
If the current five-man majority persists in thumbing its nose at popular values, the election of a Democratic president and Congress could provide a corrective. It requires only a majority vote in both houses to add a justice or two. Chief Justice John Roberts and his conservative colleagues might do well to bear in mind that the roll call of presidents who have used this option includes not just Roosevelt but also Adams, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant.
Just close your eyes and imagine for a moment the shrill howls of protest that would have gone up from the left if George Bush and the GOP would have tried such a thing in the past few years.
The political/legislative reality of getting such a thing done, however, is a little more difficult than the author claims. As conservatives can well remember, in spite of having a majority in the Senate, we couldn't even get many judges an up or down vote by the full Senate, thanks to Democrat filibusters...(and weak-kneed Republicans that wouldn't enforce our majority).

Pregnancy: Varicose Veins
Topic Overview
Reference Varicose veins Opens New Window are enlarged, swollen veins that are caused by faulty valves in the veins or weak vein walls. They are common during pregnancy, particularly in women with a family history of the problem.
Varicose veins typically develop on the legs but can also affect the Reference vulva Opens New Window. Though varicose veins are often only a cosmetic concern, they can become painful. In severe cases, they can bleed.
During pregnancy, the growing uterus puts more pressure on the veins that return blood from the legs, and it becomes harder for blood to leave the legs. (The extra weight of multiple fetuses puts an even greater burden on the deep veins in the legs.) This can lead to pooled blood that causes one or more veins to swell.
If you or other women in your family have had varicose veins, use preventive and treatment measures that are safe during pregnancy.
- Avoid prolonged standing and sitting.
- Lie on your side as much as possible. This takes the pressure off your leg veins, allowing normal blood flow.
- Elevate your legs whenever possible. Gravity helps with blood return from your legs.
- Wear Reference compression stockings. Specially fitted compression stockings are designed to help prevent blood from pooling in the legs.
- Get regular exercise to improve your blood circulation.
Only in severe cases are varicose veins treated with surgery or injected medicine during pregnancy.
After pregnancy, varicose veins do not always return to their previous size.

State lawmakers are considering a bill that would create a flat fine for hikers who need rescued if they don't buy a voluntary "hike safe" card.
The Fish and Game Department has been struggling to pay for rescue operations in the White Mountains and across the state, and a possible solution might be found in House Bill 256-FN.
The bill targets hikers, who get a majority of the benefit from the rescue fund, rather than boaters and operators of snowmobiles and ATVs, who are now footing the bill.
The House Fish and Game and Marine Resources Committee will hear the measure sponsored by Rep. Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.
The bill would establish a voluntary hike safe card that hikers could buy for a one-time fee of $18. If they don't buy the card, they would be required to pay a flat fee if they need to be rescued, unless they have already contributed to the rescue fund by registering a boat or off-highway road vehicle.
The flat fee would be $600 if the rescue cost between $1,000 and $1,500, and up to $1,000 for the most expensive missions. Total yearly revenue from the collection is estimated to be $57,200. The Fish and Game Department said it can't be sure how many cards would be sold.
The department is mandated by law to conduct all search-and-rescue missions that occur within the woodlands and waterways of New Hampshire. For more than six decades, the department has met those responsibilities, but the cost has been going up, according to Fish and Game Col. Martin Garabedian.
In 1989, a funding mechanism was created to support the Search and Rescue Fund with a $1 fee collected for each boat, snow machine and OHRV registered in New Hampshire. The funding source has remained unchanged for the past 24 years, while the cost of conducting the missions has steadily increased each year, Garabedian said.
Each year, Fish and Game must cover any costs above and beyond what is in the fund using revenue from hunting and fishing license fees. Garabedian said that for the past two years, search-and-rescue expenditures have exceeded annual revenues by more than $200,000.
Past legislative efforts to address the shortfall have failed.

Comments about Hillsdale Brookside Stone Top Round Dinette Table in Ivory Finish:
We've been looking for sturdy, with nice finish and attractive design dinette table for over 6 months (maybe even a year) with no luck! until one day we've logged in to Cymax store web site and saw this table. It's even better live than what we've thought we bought on-line! Very nice, rich looking table. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
