Norman Thomas "Pep" Petrocine
Norman Thomas "Pep" Petrocine, 89, an icon of the Greatest Generation, died Dec. 10, 2011, in Tucson, Ariz., of heart failure, just 11 days short of his 90th birthday. He was born Dec. 21, 1921.
A pillar of the Estes Park community since 1947, Pep grew up in Peekskill, NY, attended Park College in Missouri. His education was interrupted by WWII. After Army Air Corps training in Yuma, Ariz., Pep became a B-17 pilot, flying 35 combat missions out of England with the 8th Air Force. 1st/Lt. Petrocine was awarded the prestigious Distinguishd Flying Cross for one of these missions. Though he had kept a detailed diary during these missions, few of his lifelong friends knew of this honor.
Before going overseas with the AA Corps during WWII, he married Cora "Coke" Altick on Dec. 11, 1943. He attended Colorado University in Boulder under the GI Bill, earning a degree in business. He worked one summer after WWII for Cheley Camps Boys Trails End, where his father-in-law, Ernie Altick, was one of the directors. Immediately after graduation, he moved to Estes Park, where he joined Jack Cheley and Altick in the purchase of Gooch Dry Goods store that had been part of Estes since 1914. From this partnership evolved Western Brands, Outdoor World and Rocky Mountain Connection, now the largest and among the oldest storefronts on Elkhorn Avenue. Pep started, in 1949, a very successful mail-order business to smooth out the seasonality of the Estes Park businesses year. All of these businesses still exist and have been successfully managed by his son, Ernie, for the past 19 years.
The legacy of Pep Petrocine is an indelible part of Estes Park history, having served as a trustee on the Estes Town Board for 12 years, during this time representing the town in the establishment of the Platte River Power Authority, now furnishing electrical power to five towns on the northern Front Range. He worked hard on a sign code and the redesigning of Estes Park before and after the 1982 flood. He was on the planning commission 14 years and chairman after the flood. He was always interested in having a quality presentation for the town of Estes Park. Pep also served a term as president of the Estes Park Chamber of Commerce. He was also active with the local Boy Scouts, and belonged to the Order of the Arrow.
Bankers attempting to establish a second bank in Estes Park approached this business and community leader to be an initial investor and board member, thus Pep served on the board of directors of the First National Bank of Estes Park for the next 40 years
Pep's passion for golf brought him the honor of being the very first president of the Estes Park Men's Golf Association. In the 1970s, this passion was replaced by tennis. He excelled at both sports, as he did in business. Back problems took him off the courts a few years ago and he had to again polish his ping-pong skills learned between bombing missions in WWII.
He played on the Estes Park Men's Basketball team in the early 1950s, competing with other Front Range teams. Having been a lifeguard in high school, he enjoyed swimming all his life.
The ever-community-minded and generous leader was a member of the E.P. Rotary Club for more than 50 years, where he also served on the board of directors. He was a one-time member of the E.P. Lions Club.
As a progressive businessman, he operated, possibly, the first computer in Estes Park.
During and after the transition of the corporate management to son Ernie, Pep started the first computer store in Estes Park, repairing and teaching. He eventually convinced the Town of Estes Park to "computerize."
Modest, loving, trusted, peacemaker, even-keeled, generous, lifelong learner, humorous all describe this officer, gentleman, entrepreneur, who will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Included are five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by a daughter, Nancy, four brothers, one sister, parents, Sadie Carpinelli Petrocione and Anthony Petrocione. It was on a 1990s' trip to their birthplace, Fontana Rosa, Italy, that it was discovered in hand-written ledgers that the "O" had been dropped during immigration, changing Petrocione to Petrocine. The village of Fontana Rosa gave the Petrocines VIP treatment during the two-day visit.
Survivors include his children Linda Woolsey, Bonnie Hebert and Ernie Petrocine, and younger sister, Rita Laoretti, living in Florida.
Also mourning his loss is his wife of 25 years, Pat, of their home in Tucson, and stepdaughters and sons Kay LaBella, Kim Brown, Mark and Mike Manglesen, also of Colorado.
Memorials can be sent to the 398th Bomb Group that includes surviving members of Pep's combat B-17 crew,
C/O Allen Ostrom
6520 196th St. SW Apt. 387
Lynnwood WA. 98036-4555
A special request spoken by Pep, "Please tell all my friends how much I enjoyed their friendship. Thank them for enriching my life. Have an ice cream social for them, perhaps on a Sunday afternoon." Details for this will be provided at a future date.Copyright 2012 Estes Park Trail-Gazette.

Changing Paths in Life
Posted Sunday, June 27, 2010, at 12:34 PM
Back in the good old days when Ozzie and Harriet Nelson were raising a couple of lads on TV, men worked 45 years for the same company and retired on a pension while their dutiful wives stayed at home and kept the household running smoothly. These days both husbands and wives can expect to bounce from job to job and even career to career several times before they'll have enough free time to watch old Ozzie and Harriet reruns.
I have a friend named Lynn, age 63, who was a systems engineer at IBM and later a senior systems analyst for Lockheed in Southern California. After over 20 years in information technology, she spent a decade overseas with her engineer husband as a housewife. When she tried to get back into the computer job market upon returning to the states, she was shut out. So she started a new life in her mid 50s by attending nursing school and becoming a nurse.
I have a friend named Campbell, age 59, who was a marketing executive for a major grocery store chain in Charlotte, NC. He had started as a bag boy when he was a freshman in college and eventually worked his way up to the executive suite. When the company was taken over by another food chain a few years ago, he and other executives were given a pat on the back and escorted out the building. He has yet to find another job.
In today's workplace environment, you need to be flexible. Just when you reach the pinnacle of your profession, your profession may disappear. At that point, you're probably overqualified to even get another job.
I have a friend named Jane, age 43, who is a Microsoft Certified Engineer in Memphis. When times got tough for her, she became a certified massage therapist. Now she has a full list of regular clients that keeps her busy. She also designs websites. Her enterprising nature has allowed her to maintain a 100-acre horse ranch.
I have a friend named Dean, age 68, who once worked for others as a metal polisher. Being the sort of rebellious, vocal employee who always found better ways of doing things, he often found himself at odds with management. So he set up shop in his basement in Minneapolis a couple of decades ago and now fashions antique car parts for rich collectors and distributors. He has so much demand for his unique skill that he turns projects down.
I have a friend named Patrick, age 62, who once owned a pizza joint in Phoenix. When business turned slow a decade ago, he studied and became a stockbroker, then found a position with a major brokerage house. His wife who had also worked in the pizza joint became a successful real estate agent.
I have a friend named Stan, age 49, who was once a contract computer programmer in Chicago. He eventually tired of the stress of meeting project goals and the uncertainty of finding another contract, so he worked nights as a janitor in large office buildings. Soon he hired others to do the janitorial work and continually expanded to more and more buildings. Today he has dozens of employees and spends much of his time in the Bahamas.
There is a guy in Wyoming named Stanford Addison. At age 20, his truck went out of control as he tried to avoid hitting a herd of horses. After two long years of hospitalization with a spinal cord injury, he became a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Today, some 30 years later, Addison calls himself a "horse counselor" as he works with wild mustangs and horses with behavioral problems. Getting in the training pen with a wild horse "puts you right in there where you have to use all the gifts that the creator blessed you with," Addison explains.
I met a woman named Frankie, age 53, a couple of years ago and we have done a couple of writing projects together. A few years prior to that, she was in a serious motorcycle accident and spent many, many months in a hospital rehabilitating her broken body just to be able to walk once again. She had flourished in the corporate world as an event promoter, but changed directions after the accident. Today, the unstoppable Frankie Picasso is a radio-show host, author, motivational speaker, and professional Certified Life, Business and Master Coach Trainer.
Some people are helpless without a manager. Some people are hopeless unless they become the manager. Some people want the security of a large organization. Some people want to be self-employed. Some people want to work indoors. Some people want to work outdoors. And some people don't want to work at all. But whatever direction you choose, you need to be prepared to scramble for a cash flow simply to exist in this material world. Food, clothing and shelter are necessary items for self-preservation. And if you are foolish enough to yearn for luxury and bling-bling, you need to scramble that much harder.
I spent decades as a contract computer programmer myself until my specialty language died. But I'm not too eager to clean buildings so I wrote some novels, a highly unprofitable endeavor so far. I also wrote a weekly newspaper column and taught college computer courses for many years. I finally retired last year.
In a world of rapidly advancing technology and global financial instability, the job market is changing faster than a bullet train on steroids. You need to acquire a variety of skills and be prepared to adapt to the changing times.
Life is simple -- choose a lifestyle that makes you happy, figure out a way to make it work and do it.
The world doesn't owe you a job. You owe it to yourself to find the correct path.

Andruw2512-02-2011, 05:57 PMAs much as I respect Keith Law he lost some credibility with his list of top 50 players under 25.
With Hanson at number 40 & Craig K being number 49.
He does say Hanson would be in his top dozen if healthy but dropping him that low is BS considering he has numerous guys ahead of Hanson who have missed time b/c of major surgeries. .
Also having Brandon Belt six spots higher than Freeman is a joke.
I think he was correct with Upton being number 1 but I would of had Kershaw a lot higher.
I also would not have had Minor on the list.
Braves on his list:
12- Heyward
23- Freeman
40- Hanson
46- Beachy
49- Kimbrel
50- Minor
vnodnarb12-02-2011, 06:46 PMHe said the only reason Kershaw wasn't higher was the inherent risk of being a starting pitcher. Hitters are simply safer.
McCarroll2112-02-2011, 07:40 PMSo, wait... a very good writer that understands how to evaluate baseball talent came out with a list of top talent under 25 years old and we have 6 players on the list and people are complaining?
This isn't Mark Bowman or David O'Brien, this is a guy that understands baseball.
mattybz2812-02-2011, 10:16 PMNot one of his twenty posts is any less ridiculous than the previous.
This is why we can't have nice things.

I wasn't trying to complain about the number of Braves on the list just trying to talk about the list overall, sorry I didn't make that clear.
I agree Law is a very good analyst / writer who knows much more about the game than DOB or MB.
We can all agree it is a good sign for now and the future that our club has this much young talent.

Rugby's coming home as Britain scores another try for tourism
Published by Ozgur Tore
Tuesday, 25 October 2011 19:17
As rugby’s premier event reaches its finale today, VisitBritain is ready to engage with the rugby world as England prepares to host the Rugby World Cup in 2015.
The event will add to a blossoming £2.3 billion sports tourism industry which sees around 3 million overseas visitors each year enjoying some sort of sporting event in the UK(2).
After playing a part in the team which eventually won the right to host the next title decider, the national tourism agency - working closely with the Rugby Football Union on the winning bid – is looking to take advantage of yet another major global sporting tournament to showcase the UK to the world.
The Rugby World Cup has continued to grow in stature since the first tournament took place in 1987 and is now the third largest sporting event in the world, sitting behind only the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. It draws in a TV audience of billions of people over a six week period in more than 200 countries across the globe.
Former England heroes Lawrence Dallaglio, Will Greenwood and Martin Corry joined VisitBritain and VisitEngland at a gala event in Auckland marking the beginning of the journey to the final at Twickenham in 2015. Along with world’s media, they had a sneak preview of what fans and players can expect to see in 2015. The event took place inside the world’s largest inflatable rugby ball, specially lit up as a giant St George's Cross.
Laurence Bresh, Marketing Director at VisitBritain said: “We have shown the world that we have the ability and infrastructure to host some of the greatest sporting tournaments and much of the world agrees. With London 2012, the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 and the Rugby World Cup in 2015, we have the perfect opportunity to highlight every region across the UK and build on the legacy of what will be a golden period for sports tourism in Britain.”
Paul Vaughan, Chief Executive of RWC2015 said: “Hosting the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England is a great honour. It is the World’s third largest sporting event and that brings a lot of responsibility to ensure that we deliver the best tournament possible and a strong legacy. New Zealand have set the bar high which means our job is more challenging. Sport and large sporting events are always well received in Britain and we expect to see large numbers of overseas visitors coming in to enjoy what Britain has to offer as well as the Rugby”
VisitEngland ambassador and legendary rugby player Martin Corry said: "The 2015 tournament is a fantastic opportunity for England. Not only because we intend to emulate New Zealand and get to the final as the host nation and hot favourites, but because it is a chance to showcase all that our country has to offer. With matches taking place throughout England - from Newcastle to Southampton - the Rugby World Cup means visitors from around the world will be able to enjoy our incredible countryside, seaside and cities."
Nearly two million overseas visitors watch sport at venues across the UK each year, taking in the atmosphere at famous rugby grounds such as Murrayfield in Edinburgh, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and at Twickenham, the home of English rugby.
Sporting visitors spend an average of £900 per trip, almost twice as much as what the ‘average’ overseas visitor would spend. This suggests that tourism in the wider sense can play a pivotal role in supporting Britain

How to Survive – Even Profit From – the Declining Economy
By Michael Masterson | Mon, Apr 7, 2008 |
Archives:
Wealth Building | Wealthy
I was in Baltimore recently for meetings with some of my biggest clients. My job was to review their progress in 2007 and give them ideas about how to grow their already profitable businesses in 2008.
During that time, I taped an interview with J. Christoph Amberger for Today’s Financial News, his multi-media e-letter. In the interview, Christoph and I discussed the coming economic recession, as well as the special opportunities a declining economy provides for entrepreneurs. I thought you’d be interested in reading this rough transcript of our conversation...
JCA:
The American economy may or may not enter a recession in 2008. But even if the economy doesn’t fulfill the technical criteria of a recession (two consecutive quarters of negative growth), anyone doing business or working for a business these days is experiencing or expecting a severe downturn.
Michael, we both have been through a couple of recessions and bear markets. What are the secrets to surviving a recession – and maybe even prospering in an adverse environment as an entrepreneur?
Me:
That partly depends on the kind of recession. This one is different from recent downturns and stock market declines in three important ways.
First, there is the fact of inflation. Oil has already hit record highs this year. Gold is on its way to $1,000 an ounce. And a gallon of gas is costing $4 in some states. Agricultural prices are going up too. One figure I saw had inflation pegged at 6.8 percent on an annual basis over the last three months. But it is actually worse than that. Because that figure was based on government-supplied data. Our government has made an art of obfuscation – of hiding certain economic realities. Inflation is already eating away at our buying power. It is bad and it is getting worse.
Next, there is the falling dollar. The dollar is weaker now than it has ever been in history. That makes foreign goods more expensive. Which increases inflation. On the bright side, it makes US manufactured goods more attractive as exports. But in most areas, we still can’t compete, price-wise, with China, India, and the Third World.
The third way this downturn is different is the level of debt. For the first time in modern history, American consumers owe more than they have. Credit card debt has skyrocketed. Mortgage debt, which increased enormously during the past 10 years as a result of irresponsible loans, is now at a crisis point because real estate values have fallen, making tens of thousands of loans untenable. It makes more sense to walk away from these loans than to renegotiate them. And behind all this is the federal debt – which has skyrocketed because of runaway spending by an earmark-addicted Congress and Bush’s $3 trillion war.
These are our economic weaknesses – and they are big weaknesses. But there are strengths too. Unemployment numbers are relatively low. Earnings are relatively good. And new business start-ups – which to me is always the most important indicator – are still strong.
Unemployment will certainly increase in some sectors. It is already a fact in the real estate market and will become a factor in banking and the financial industries that support real estate. But other sectors of the economy are okay for the moment. They may absorb some of these people. And new businesses will continue to create jobs, as they always have, because of the amazing growth of the Internet.
What all that amounts to, in my book, is a period stagflation that may be followed by a recession but may simply continue to exist until our debts have been paid by the working man, as they always are.
JCA:
Not everyone is familiar with the term "stagflation."
Me:
"Stagflation" was coined ages ago when I was still in college. It describes an economic period of both inflation and flat growth. The best description I’ve heard was provided by Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes. He said:
"Stagflation is present when gas and grocery prices are rising faster than your paycheck is – and in an economy that is strong enough to employ you but not strong enough that you feel emboldened to ask for a raise."
There are three ways to defeat stagflation: (1) Tighten the money supply. (2) Restrict credit. (3) Lower taxes.
When too much money/too-easy credit is driving up prices – that’s classic monetary inflation. This should tell the Fed to restrict the printing of money and tighten credit. But so far they’ve been doing the opposite because they are afraid that if they tighten credit, the economy, which is already weak, will collapse.
Lowering taxes, particularly taxes on individual and corporate income, capital gains, and dividends would grow the economy by encouraging investment and stimulating production. This is classic supply-side economics. But it’s very unpopular today. The common view is that tax cuts reduce the effectiveness of government and increase government debt. But the evidence contradicts this. Government receipts usually go up after tax cuts because the economy grows and there is more income and profits to tax. When you reduce the cost of doing something, you tend to get more of that thing. Reduce the tax costs of production in America and you will get more production. More production means more goods and services competing for your dollars. "That’s how prices go down, not up," says Rich Karlgaard.
It’s simple. Supply and demand. If you want prices to go down, increase the supply. Incentivize the suppliers.
But that’s probably not going to happen because it’s not politically expedient for politicians to do it. Chances are our problems will be cured by a period of negative or flat growth along with inflation. This is the solution preferred by politicians because it is a way for average consumers to pay for government debt and bad loans without understanding they are paying for it. It’s another form of taxation.
Assuming we are entering a period of stagflation, certain investing principles apply:
Cash is king.
Buy value.
Buy into the recovery.
Invest in what you know.
Limit expenses.
Be ready to seize opportunity when it arises. Because it will arise.
JCA:
Unemployment may kick-start some would-be entrepreneurs’ plans to start their own businesses. Are there any particular sectors that you think will do well, especially for new businesses?
Me:
As I said, I don’t think unemployment is likely to be a huge problem – at least in the short run. But it will be a factor. More important will be the squeeze people will feel from stagflation. Prices are going up but not their salaries. This will trigger some start-ups. And there will also be lots of job displacements as some sectors of the economy – real estate-related – go down for a while and others – natural resources and even agriculture – go up. At some point in time – probably in the next year or two – real estate prices will bottom out. Then the vulture funds will come in and begin to buy up excess inventory. When that inventory is absorbed, the construction and building sectors will revive.
In the meantime, I favor:
Certain investments – like gold, oil and gas, natural resources
Certain services – such as for legal settlements, divorce settlements, business litigation settlements, home remodeling and repair
Information and advice on investing, retirement, estate planning, entrepreneurship, tax avoidance
Natural supplements and pharmaceuticals
Rejuvenation products and services
Retirement homes and other retirement businesses
Soft exercises and sports – such as yoga, Pilates, tai chi
Spiritual wealth information and products
Self-improvement information and products
Real estate (longer term)
JCA: Judging by the promises of our presidential candidates, US businesses will almost certainly be hit with higher taxes, compulsory health care contributions, higher labor costs. Is it still worthwhile setting up shop in America ? Or should entrepreneurs relocate to a more business-friendly climate... like Eastern Europe... or China... or the Caymans?
Me:
There is a big misconception here. One I had until I began doing business overseas. Location of the business matters only in certain industries that depend on cheap, unskilled labor. If you are producing clothing or furniture, it makes sense to have a factory in the Third World. But if you are producing sophisticated products for which labor is a small part of the cost – or selling information or advice – you can do it from the U.S.
Information and advice is especially good because the brute labor cost is almost non-existent. Thanks to the Internet, the cost of storage and shipping is minimal, so you can easily produce your product here and sell it anywhere... anywhere in the world.
In the coming recession, I would want to be in a business that has the following characteristics: (1) positive cash flow, (2) no debt, (3) no accounts receivable, and (4) no merchandise to store. That amounts to a service business or information publishing. Of the two, information publishing is better. In fact, it is the best business to be in for the foreseeable future.
There are some advantages in setting up overseas, but there are also many disadvantages. I would not pick up shop and open up overseas unless I had a proven formula that was working in the U.S.
JCA:
The title of your latest best-selling book is Ready, Fire, Aim.
What do you think, Michael? Will the coming recession require entrepreneurs and business owners to aim BEFORE they fire?
Me:
Entrepreneurs must seize the day. You have to be READY to do that.
When real estate prices bottom out, there will be a rush to buy from the vulture funds. Private investors must be ready with protocols, plans, and money.
The same holds true for any business you plan to launch. Don’t waste valuable time and money trying to perfect it. Figure out a marketing proposition and test it as soon as you can. If it works, then refine it. If it doesn’t work, move on to the next thing. Ready, Fire, Aim!
JCA:
What are the biggest mistakes an entrepreneur or business owner can make right now?
Me:
There are three:
Starting a new business without knowing anything about it. I call this the Principle of One Step Removed.
Wasting time and money on activities that are not directly related to sales.
Not having a Disaster Recovery/Opportunity Plan.
JCA:
That leads to my final question for you: Given today’s economic climate, what does a new business have to have to give it the best chance of success?
Me:
It’s no different now than it’s ever been.
First is a management team with character, experience, and ingenuity.
Second is a plan that clearly identifies the way they will efficiently bring in customers from day one.
Third is their use of resources. Will 80 percent of them be devoted to making a profitable sale?
Fourth is capital. Do they have enough of it?
Fifth is product. Does their lead product have a raison d’etre in the marketplace?
JCA:
Thanks for joining us today, Michael.

Pro-life picket of abortionist José Raul Quintana's residence - 11/12/2011
By Jay Rogers. Posted November 15, 2011.
“And have nothing to do with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them” (Ephesians 5:11).
TAMPA, FL (FR) – Abortionist José Raul Quintana works for
Gary Dresden’s
All Women’s
Health Center abortion chain. On November 12, 2011 a dozen sidewalk evangelists conducted a neighborhood awareness campaign at Quintana’s residence.
The campaign began in the parking lot of St Paul’s Catholic Church at 2 pm and lasted until 4. About 12 street evangelists from Orlando, Riverview, New Port Richey, Cleawarer and Tampa first marched through the Quintana neighborhood and then stood at the intersection of the street as hundreds of people drove by to attend a wedding mass across the street. One awareness campaign participant passed out flyers to passers-by.
At about 2:30 pm, the neighbors across the street returned to their home and began to confront the street evangelists claiming that the signs depicting graphic representations of aborted children were offensive. José Quintana was not present during the campaign. At several points, the Quintana family and some teenage boys who are friends of the Quintanas began to angrily confront the street evangelists saying that the demonstrators had no right to be in a “restricted neighborhood.”
The police were called and immediately explained that they were acting as peace officers and not taking sides. They also explained to all involved that it is the right of Americans to assemble and speak in a public right of way.
As Deanna Waller messaged from the event, “Today we were spit at, cursed at, kicked at, called names, had mulch thrown on us and sprinklers turned on us for Jesus ... All in a day’s work! Wonder what tomorrow will bring?”

Reversing Roe: The Norma McCorvey Story (DVD)
In 1969, a pregnant 21 year old Norma McCorvey felt abortion was her only answer. He case was used to challenge the Texas abortion law and she eventually became the Jane Roe of the 1973 US Supreme Court decision, Roe v Wade. She never had an abortion, but instead became an icon in the national abortion debate. For 22 years, Norma McCorvey’s life was a battlefield. She worked inside abortion clinics. She promoted legalized abortion. But she was tormented by what she saw and felt. In the summer of 1995, her life changed forever.
Through the friendship of a pro-life leader and a special invitation from a 7-year old child, Jane Roe finally died so Norma Leah McCorvey could live. This is her story.

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

Abortion Clinic 911 Calls (DVD)
Exposes the Dangers of Abortion to Women!
These shocking eyewitness accounts expose the dangers of abortion not only to unborn children, but to the health and lives women as well. An antidote to the smokescreens of the liberal media, these six short clips show what really happens in and around abortion clinics.
Although the content is emotionally gut-wrenching, these videos have been used in church seminars and small groups to educate Christians on the abortion issue and to lead people toward a pro-life position.
Watch these pro-life videos on-line.
“These videos helped change my mind from pro-choice to pro-life. Your
videos are what did it for me. I will be walking in next year’s March For Life in San Francisco.” — A. Jackson, California
“I was going to have an abortion until I saw your video. Praise Jesus!”

The Abortion Matrix: Defeating Child Sacrifice and the Culture of Death (DVD)
Download the free Study Guide!
Is there a connection between pagan religion and the abortion industry?
This powerful presentation traces the biblical roots of child sacrifice and then delves into the social, political and cultural fall-out that this sin against God and crime against humanity has produced in our beleaguered society.
Conceived as a sequel and update to the 1988 classic, The Massacre of Innocence, the new title, The Abortion Matrix, is entirely fitting. It not only references abortion’s specific target – the sacred matrix where human beings are formed in the womb in the very image of God, but it also implies the existence of a conspiracy, a matrix of seemingly disparate forces that are driving this holocaust.
The occult activity surrounding the abortion industry is exposed with numerous examples. But are these just aberrations, bizarre yet anomalous examples of abortionists who just happen to have ties to
modern day witchcraft? Or is this representative of something deeper, more sinister and even endemic to the entire abortion movement?
As the allusion to the film of over a decade ago suggests, the viewer may learn that things are not always as they appear to be. The Abortion Matrix reveals the reality of child-killing and strikes the proper moral chord to move hearts to fulfill the biblical responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11,12; 31:8,9).
Speakers include: George Grant, Peter Hammond, RC Sproul Jr., Paul Jehle, Lou Engle, Rusty Thomas, Flip Benham, Janet Porter and many more.

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

Emily Blunt's Blunt Review - Movie Reviews, Celebrity Interviews, Entertainment
News and Mayhem
He's
a Class Act | An
Evening With Kevin Spacey
The Wiltern, Los Angeles, December 6th
an emily blunt review
Order
the Beyond the Sea Soundtrack
Beyond the Sea,
a film opening in late December, is a musical homage to the life
of entertainer extraordinaire Bobby Darin. It stars Kevin Spacey (who also produced and wrote)
aside a gaggle of ultra-talented folks in an unusual biopic of
an American original. Now, to promote the film in a sort of unprecedented
publicity stunt if you will, Kevin, who actually sings all the
songs in the film, has taken his "act" on the road -
literally - along with an 18 piece orchestra and back-up singers
ala a Las Vegas review Darin himself would be proud of.
Mr.
Spacey, who is proving himself to be an equal American original,
apparently knows no bounds in his creativity, and passion for
taking life and by the horns and parlaying his all-access "fame"
card into vast experiences.
With
this remarkable traveling old-school high-end lounge act, Kevin
will visit several cities bringing the love and music to a few
sold out venues. But, the show's recent stop into the Wiltern Theater, in Los Angeles, had a special glow. The audience here
included Dodd Darin, Bobby's son with Sandra Dee, along with his
wife and daughter, as well as Steve Blauner, Bobby Darin's personal
manager and dear friend. And the elite guests were obviously moved
by the music they are so close to being embraced and appreciated
by a live, adoring, knowing, audience again.
This
was a Darin audience. They were buzzing as Kevin rocked the rafters
with his electric performance. The verdict is in, this Spacey
fella is one helluva talent. And there's was no sign of the "movie
star." He was an entertainer; he joked, he sang, he soft
shoed about, and even played the harmonica for a few songs. The
show is as good as any "professional" singer's. This
is one actor-come-singer that could quit his day job - easily.
Spacey,
lead by Darin's own musical director Roger
Kellaway, belted out over a dozen songs particularly Darin-esque.
And as tribute, Mr. Spacey even worked in many recognizable asides
and "Bobby-isms" into the show's routine; none more
charming then an old schtick Darin liked to "loosen the crowd
up with" about a drunk at a Hollywood bar impersonating all
sorts of famous folks. This gave Kevin, an equally exquisite impersonator,
the chance to do his Burt Lancaster, Al Pacino, Katharine Hepburn,
Jerry Lewis, Johnny Carson, Jimmy Stewart and Marlon Brando voices.
As
a special treat, Peter Cincotti, who plays Bobby band mate Dick
Behrkeis in the film, joined Kevin on stage, on piano, for a couple
of songs - the audience erupted. As a whole, the 90 minute extravaganza
showcased a plethora of Darin's signature songs like, 'Mack the
Knife', 'Dream Lover', 'Beyond the Sea', and 'Splish Splash',
as well as Darin's personal favorites like 'If I Were a Carpenter',
'That's All', 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', and 'Funny Valentine'.
For Darin fans, like myself, it was positively magical to hear
these songs live and with a full orchestra. To ad to the treasure
trove of auditory bliss, Spacey shared if the listeners were enjoying
the stylings of the music this evening, as well as on the soundtrack
and in the film, they had Dodd Darin and Steve Blauner to thank.
They had sent him Bobby's original charts and notes on how he
wanted the songs played and these were those interpretations.
Though
the evening's spotlight was firmly following Spacey, the event
was designed to "shine the light back on Bobby Darin."
And it shined like a beacon. Mission accomplished. Song after
song, many written by Darin, were brilliantly orchestrated as
Spacey showed his genuine abilities for crooning and playing with
an audience. When he sang Darin's 'A Simple Song Of Freedom',
the audience was cheering and seemed to agree that the once-again
timely anti-war song has just as important a message today as
when Darin wrote it in protest of the Viet Nam fiasco.
Spacey's
created a beautiful film in Beyond the Sea, and know now
as he swings across the country with this delightful ensemble,
this incredible and unique force of creative diversity, has managed
to excel within yet another side of his many talents. The shows
are sold out - but there's always someone lurking around the stage
door with a ticket to sell. I suggest you bring a bag-o-cash and
negotiate well - 'cause this is one show you don't want
to miss. If you just can't get to the show? Get over and purchase
the Beyond The Sea

Aldactone
Generic Name: spironolactone (spir ON oh LAK tone)
Brand Names: Aldactone
What is Aldactone?
Aldactone (spironolactone) is a potassium-sparing diuretic (water pill) that prevents your body from absorbing too much salt and keeps your potassium levels from getting too low.
Aldactone is used to diagnose or treat a condition in which you have too much aldosterone in your body. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by your adrenal glands to help regulate the salt and water balance in your body.
Aldactone also treats fluid retention (edema) in people with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, or a kidney disorder called nephrotic syndrome. This medication is also used to treat or prevent hypokalemia (low potassium levels in the blood).
Aldactone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information about Aldactone
You should not use Aldactone if you are allergic to spironolactone, or if you have kidney disease, high levels of potassium in your blood, or if you are unable to urinate. Do not use potassium supplements or other diuretics while you are taking Aldactone.
Before using Aldactone, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, or if you use a steroid or another diuretic.
Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of Aldactone.
Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and can make this medication less effective.
Do not use salt substitutes or low-sodium milk products that contain potassium. These products could cause your potassium levels to get too high while you are taking Aldactone.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using Aldactone even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Before taking Aldactone
You should not use Aldactone if you are allergic to spironolactone, or if you have:
kidney disease, or if you are unable to urinate;
high levels of potassium in your blood (hyperkalemia); or
if you are taking potassium supplements or other potassium-sparing diuretics such as Aldactazide, amiloride (Midamor, Moduretic), or triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide, Maxzide).
To make sure you can safely take Aldactone, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
heart disease;
liver disease; or
if you are using a steroid, or another diuretic.

What happens if I overdose?

What should I avoid while taking Aldactone?
Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of Aldactone. Do not use salt substitutes or low-sodium milk products that contain potassium. These products could cause your potassium levels to get too high while you are taking Aldactone.
Avoid a diet high in salt. Too much salt will cause your body to retain water and can make this medication less effective.
Aldactone may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
