The most valuable edition of your local newspaper is the Sunday Edition. Why? Because the coupons that can be found in that edition could pay for the paper itself—if you took the time to clip out the ones that interest you.
The problem, most of the time, is that it’s hard to find the time to do that.
There are multiple ways to make money online. You can have a product or service that you are trying to sell, you can write—software or content (like blogging), but one other way that I know of to make money is to fill out Paid Surveys.
I have had friends that have filled out surveys, tested perfumes and done different things to make money, and there are good groups out there looking for your opinion.
National Public Radio was created to get the news heard. It helped get radio stations in small towns. It provided programming with public dollars so that you could hear what was going on in the world.
And today, it’s no more than a liberal mouthpiece that continues to use public money to pay its executives large salaries.
And Juan Williams, formerly of NPR, has joined the chorus of those that want to take away that funding:
For a moment, let’s accept the KJV Only argument that the King James is the best translation from a manuscript standpoint as well as from tradition. My question, that has yet to be answered, is “Why has it not been updated since the 1800?”
To give a reference, here’s something that always baffled me as a kid. Who is Esaias?
Matthew 3:3 – For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
In the many years that the female teacher-male student scandals were thrust into our view, you would think that these would have abated, and yet exactly the opposite has happened.
It doesn’t seem that a week goes by that another teacher is accused of having physical relations with a member of her class, with no sign of it slowing down.
The latest is Barbara Jeanne Andersen, 37, who is show in the picture above. She was caught in relations with one of her 17 year old students who happened to tell his uncle—who turned her in. She was texting and having relations with the boy.
Is cutting spending what led us into the Great Depression? Certain economists would like us to think so. The problem is, that idea runs counter to reality:
From 1924 to 1928 Uncle Sam’s real per-capita spending fell by 4.3 percent. But this spending rose significantly during Hoover’s term in the White House. From 1928 to 1929 real per-capita spending rose by 4.7 percent; from 1929-30 by 8.0 percent; from 1930-31 by 17.2 percent; and from 1931-32 by 15.8 percent. (This spending rose by another 28.4 percent from 1932-33.) The overall increase in real per-capita spending from 1928 to 1932 was a whopping 53.5 percent. Real per-capita spending excluding outlays for defense and interest on government debt increased during Hoover’s years in office even more dramatically, skyrocketing by 130 percent.

I didn’t like it when they did it to state and local Constitutions, and I don’t like it when they do it to the Bible.
What I’m talking about is the wholesale editing of an historical document to make it say something something that it hasn’t said and does not say for the purpose of political correctness.
In this case, I’m referring to the 2011 translation of the New International Version of the Bible.
The 2011 translation of the New International Version Bible, or NIV, does not change pronouns referring to God, who remains "He" and "the Father." But it does aim to avoid using "he" or "him" as the default reference to an unspecified person. [New Bible Draws Critics of Gender-Neutral Language – CNS News]
