Buying Happiness Despite popular assertions to the contrary, science tells us that money can buy happiness. To a point. Recent research has begun to distinguish two aspects of subjective well-being. Emotional well-being refers to the emotional quality of an individual's everyday experience — the frequency and intensity of experiences of joy, stress, sadness, anger, and affection that make one's life pleasant or unpleasant. Life evaluation refers to the thoughts that people have about their life when they think about it. We raise the question of whether money buys happiness, separately for these two aspects of well-being. We report an analysis of more than 450,000 responses to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, a daily survey of 1,000 US residents conducted by the Gallup Organization. […] When plotted against log income, life evaluation rises steadily. Emotional well-being also rises with log income, but there is no further progress beyond an annual income of ~$75,000. For reference, the federal poverty level for a family of four is currently $23,050. Once you reach a little over 3 times the poverty level in income, you've achieved peak happiness, as least far as money alone can reasonably get you. This is something I've seen echoed in a number of studies. Once you have "enough" money to satisfy the basic items at the foot of the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs pyramid – that is, you no longer have to worry about food, shelter, security, and perhaps having a bit of extra discretionary money for the unknown – stacking even more money up doesn't do much, if anything, to help you scale the top of the pyramid. 1 www.codinghorror.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b01630520e71a970d-800wi2[imghttp://www.codinghorror.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b01630520e71a970d-800wi][/img] www.codinghorror.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b01630520e71a970d-800wiwww.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/05/buying-happiness.html |

Archbishop Sheen - I remember him from TV back in the 50's. He was a cool-talk'n dude! Below are a few of his most famous quotes: "The Soviet Union is like the Cross without Christ, while American culture is like Christ without the Cross." "Baloney is flattery laid on so thick it cannot be true, and blarney is flattery so thin we love it." "Fasting detaches you from this world. Prayer reattaches you to the next world." "Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn. " "I feel it is time that I also pay tribute to my four writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. " "It's like being a Knight of the Garter. It's an honor, but it doesn't hold up anything. " "Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius. " "Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded. " "Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery. " "Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals. "The only way to win audiences is to tell people about the life and death of Christ. Every other approach is a waste.” "The big print giveth, and the fine print taketh away. " "The proud man counts his newspaper clippings, the humble man his blessings." "The simple shepherds heard the voice of an angel and found their Lamb; the wise men saw the light of a star and found their Wisdom.” “An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.” “Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.” “Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?” “There are 200 million poor in the world who would gladly take the vow of poverty if they could eat, dress and have a home like "WE do” “Leisure is a form of silence, not noiselessness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Archbishop Fulton Sheen had a 'sense of humor', I remember it well; The Divine Sense of Humor video below demonstrates this; www.mikeadkins.com/article/the-divine-sense-of-humor-part-1-archbishop-fulton-sheen/ |

Libertarians nominate ex-Governor Gary Johnson for president
Early life, education, and business career
Johnson was born in 1953 in Minot, North Dakota, the son of Lorraine B. (née Bostow), who worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Earl W. Johnson, a public school teacher.[17] His father was of half Danish and half Norwegian ancestry, and his mother was of Russian descent.[18][19]
Johnson graduated from Sandia High School in Albuquerque in 1971, where he was on the school track team.[20] He attended the University of New Mexico from 1971 to 1975 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree.[21] It was there that he met his future wife, Denise "Dee" Simms.
While in college, Johnson earned money as a door-to-door handyman.[22] His success in that arena encouraged him to start his own business, Big J Enterprises, in 1976. When he started the business, which focused on mechanical contracting, Johnson was its only employee.[23] His major break with the firm was receiving a large contract from Intel's expansion in Rio Rancho, which increased Big J's revenue to $38 million.[19]
Over-stretched by his success, Johnson enrolled in a time management course at night school, which made him heavily goal-driven.[19] He eventually grew Big J into a multi-million dollar corporation with over 1,000 employees.[24] By the time he sold the company in 1999, it was one of New Mexico's leading construction companies.[25]
APPEAL TO RON PAUL SUPPORTERS?
Party officials hope they can count on supporters of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul for votes in the general election. Paul's campaign has focused on issues favored by Libertarians like small government and a non-interventionist foreign policy, which
Paul, who ran for president as a Libertarian in 1988, is the last remaining Republican challenger to Romney. The Texas congressman is far behind in the polls and has not won a single nominating contest.
As New Mexico governor, Johnson vetoed so many bills - some 750 - that he was later nicknamed "Governor Veto" - a record he referred to in a debate on Friday as evidence of his strong character.
Wrights, 53, avoided complex policy proposals. Asked about gun control, he said, "I don't know about the rest of y'all, but you don't want to be crawling into my window after midnight." On foreign policy, he said, "Stop being a nosy neighbor and start being a good neighbor."
Both spoke of abolishing multiple federal agencies. The crowd's favorite target was the Internal Revenue Service, but proposals to curb the Departments of Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and Education were also greeted by applause.

Human Perception (fails to recognize God) is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to fabricate a mental representation through the process of transduction, which sensors in the body transform signals from the environment into encoded neural signals. All perception involves signals in the nervous system, which in turn result from physical stimulation of the sense organs. For example, vision involves light striking the retinas of the eyes, smell is mediated by odor molecules and hearing involves pressure waves. Perception is not the passive receipt of these signals, but can be shaped by learning, memory and expectation. Perception involves these "top-down" effects as well as the "bottom-up" process of processing sensory input. The "bottom-up" processing is basically low-level information that's used to build up higher-level information (i.e. - shapes for object recognition). The "top-down" processing refers to a person's concept and expectations (knowledge) that influence perception. Perception depends on complex functions of the nervous system, but subjectively seems mostly effortless because this processing happens outside conscious awareness. And all the while God
is given no credit for these , more than small miracles, that transform humans into these unbelievable organisms that formulate all of human life.

War In Heaven---Satan cast down to Earth
Satan's last attempt to rule the universe and overthrow God and His kingdom occurs on earth, not in outer space. Scripture speaks of many antichrists who oppose Jesus and counterfeit His claims, but there is to be THE final Antichrist, the "man of sin" who will one day take charge of our world under one world government having full and economic controls. As part of His plan, God has determined to allow evil to run its full course on earth. Antichrist is to be an incarnation of Satan so that he, the Evil One, will fully possess and indwell one unique man in history more than he has ever done before in history. [Those unfamiliar with the relevant scriptures should read Matthew 24-25, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 13, as well as the Book of Daniel].
Revelation 12 includes a description of the throwing down of the devil to earth in a yet-future time (as introduced above) which will result in the greatest conflagration our planet has ever seen. This last war, which will involve all of mankind and very nearly destroy the entire human race, will begin in space (i.e., in the heavenlies). It will be a gigantic, unprecedented event in the annals of angelic warfare. The battle is fought by the archangel Michael and his thousands of unfallen angels:

*=* " I Think :therefore: I Am! " *=*
A brunett,a red head, and a blond enter a bar one day when out of nowhere the bartender tells the ladies that they have a mirror in the ladies room that rewards you for telling the truth. It will grant your deepest wish but if you lie it sucks you into the mirror never to be seen again
So the red head stands in front says out loud, I think that I am the smartest girl at this bar and pow, zing, bang, a million dollars appears
So then the brunett steps in front and says that I think I am the prettiest at the bar and bang, ding, woppy, a pair of keys fly out of the mirror.
So next the blond steps in front and says I think....pow, ding, wop, she's suck into the mirror and never heard from again.

Allegedly at the "Manhattan Project" where the first nuclear reactor was built, security was very tight and the workers were told not to tell their families what they were doing. During a security check the families were asked if they knew what their working parent did at work. One young lad replied that his father worked in a place that made light bulbs and toilet paper. When asked how he knew, he replied that his father brought a roll of toilet paper and a light bulb home every day in his lunch box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think therefore I am..........explained!
Cartesian doubt is a form of methodological skepticism associated with the writings and methodology of René Descartes Cartesian doubt is also known as Cartesian skepticism, methodic doubt, methodological skepticism, or hyperbolic doubt.
Cartesian doubt is a systematic process of being skeptical about (or doubting) the truth of one's beliefs, which has become a characteristic method in philosophy. This method of doubt was largely popularized in Western philosophy by René Descartes (1596-1650), who sought to doubt the truth of all his beliefs in order to determine which beliefs he could be certain were true.
My Motto: doubt the truth of all my beliefs in order to figure out which ones to keep ( be either truth or folly ) and come up with new beliefs!
