New Book Rejects Christian Socialism of Barack Obama

The new ebook “Not My Brothers’ Keeper” tackles the political rhetoric Barack Obama uses to justify the imposition of socialism and finds it wanting.

Austin, TX (USA), July 25, 2012 — Now available at Amazon.com, the new ebook “Not My Brothers’ Keeper” tackles the political rhetoric Barack Obama uses to justify the imposition of socialism and finds it wanting.

Author Joe Gimenez says “President Barack Obama says we should understand Christianity to be about our being our brothers and sisters keepers, that we must give back because of all that we’ve been given, like it says in the Bible. And he goes a step further, saying that idea was present at America’s founding and is the principle that built the country. Just what does that mean? That Americans should accept socialism as our economic system? I don’t think so.”

First time ebook author Joe Gimenez, a publicist by trade and student of literature, examines the religious elements of Obama’s presidential speeches and compares them to the lessons Jesus taught in his parables. What he finds should scare everyone who is concerned about a singular person imposing his religious views on freedom loving Americans through a centralized redistributionist government. Would Jesus support Obama’s conclusions that government should be the Christian arm for charity, equalizing resources in the name of brotherly love, of spreading the wealth around?

In sum, no, says Gimenez.

“The Parables of the Tenants and the Talents are but two examples of how Jesus is perfectly comfortable with the economic constructs of free enterprise. If he had not been, he would have said otherwise, or constructed his parables differently,” Gimenez says.

And as the author demonstrates through examples of people in real modern life, free enterprise activity is capable of building character and developing virtue, in addition to providing for our personal needs. Jesus, speaking through his Parables, and interpreted without a socialist perspective, is clear on his support for free enterprise.

While this book is coming out shortly before the 2012 elections, the book will have long staying power. Barack Obama and other political and religious leaders will continue to mislead people about a certain participatory feel-goodism that comes with thinking that their government is striving to be their brothers and sisters keepers. But as the author points out, the only person who asked whether he was his brother’s keep was the Bible’s first murderer, Cain. Surely this should cause concern about what being a “keeper” truly means, when contrasted with the free will that God wants everyone to use, for themselves and others, without the intervening force of government.

Along the way, this book takes you on a journey of understanding, about the differences between free enterprise and capitalism, free markets and government engineered activity. It asks readers to view a 2008 movie, Sunshine Cleaning, that uses a free enterprise economy as backdrop to create a memorable and enchanting movie experience that’s far different than most Hollywood films today.

The book, Not My Brothers’ Keeper ( http://www.amazon.com/Not-My-Brothers-Keeper-ebook/dp/B008KLMWZC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1342633160&sr=8-4&keywords=not+my+brothers%27+keeper ), will change your mind about how Jesus would have us order economic activity. The book will be supported for reader discussion at the new blog, Free Enterprise is Boss.

Express Employment Professionals Maintains Strong Growth, Awards 10 Franchises in 35 Days

Express Employment Professionals has announced the signing of 10 new U.S. franchise agreements in just 35 days.

Oklahoma City, OK (USA), July 25, 2012 — As America’s workforce continues to shift from full-time employees to more contract and temporary positions, Oklahoma City-based Express Employment Professionals’ expansion efforts have gone into double time. As a result, Express has announced the signing of 10 new U.S. franchise agreements in just 35 days.

“Staffing services are in high demand, and Express continues to work with thousands of employers and job seekers around the world to keep the economic recovery moving forward,” said David Lewis, executive director of franchising. “To meet this increasing need, we’re rapidly expanding and letting new and existing clients know that we’re here when they need us.”

Among the 10 new Express franchise ( http://www.expressfranchising.com ) owners are Jay Diaz in Meridian, Conn.; Jason and Christi Patrick in West Nashville, Tenn.; Doug Dirrim in Roswell, Ga.; Diego Lejwa in Memphis, Tenn.; Brad Collins in South Kansas City, Mo.; Jim Bartunek in Central Suffolk County, N.Y.; Fran Mackovjak in Delaware County, Pa.; Jim Sovacool in Lakeville, Ohio; Greg Lavelle in Worcester, Mass.; and Mitch Porter in West Suffolk County, N.Y.

As one of the nation’s largest privately-held staffing firms, Express put more than 335,000 people to work in 2011, providing expertise in evaluation hire, temporary staffing, professional search and human resources. As the company expands, it continues to achieve record breaking sales growth. Most recently, Express franchisees set an all-time record in average clients billed per office at 35.68 for the week ending June 24. Together, franchise owners across the country billed a record 15,271 clients for the same week. Express projects company growth to top 18 percent in 2012, and plans to award 64 new franchise locations in the U.S. and Canada, targeting Orlando, Fla.; Detroit; Chicago; Fairbanks, Ala.; and Hartford, Conn. Sales for the company reached $2.1 billion in 2011, with the average territory generating sales of $4.5 million.

Express ( http://www.expresspros.com ) began franchising in 1985 and has consistently maintained a 98 percent approval rating from franchisees on the quality and opportunity of the Express system. The company was named the No. 1 staffing franchise in the U.S. by Entrepreneur as part of the magazine’s thirty-third annual Franchise 500® list and also ranked in the top 100 on the magazine’s Top Global Franchises list in America.

“Our franchise owners come from various backgrounds such as sales, management, human resources and finance and all share a vision of controlling their own destiny through business ownership,” Lewis said. “While the Express model does not require partnerships for success, jointly owned franchises make up approximately 20 percent of our franchisees, and husband-and-wife ownership teams are common. We also have numerous franchise owners in our system who are military veterans.”

RemoteKEY Convenience Controller by Mods4cars Reduced to 99 Euros

Automotive aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars permanently reduced the retail price for it’s Audi A2 RemoteKEY convenience add-on module. This module allows owners to open and close all windows from the factory remote. Additionally the sunroof can be closed remotely as well. All operations are “one-touch“ enabled and don’t require any buttons to be held down. The new MSRP is 99 Euros + tax.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), July 23, 2012 — Effective immediately, the RemoteKEY ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) convenience add-on module for Audi A2 has been reduced in price and is now available for 99 Euros + tax instead of 169 Euros + tax. The easy-to-install kit adds a handful of features to the car that make every day use more enjoyable.

All windows can be opened or closed from the original factory remote fob with convenient one-touch operation. The original key fob does not need to be altered or replaced. Another feature is the ability to close the sunroof from the remote. This allows owners to quickly close the sunroof from afar without having to run to and sit inside the car, should they get caught with the car parked outside in a summer storm.

“We are entering the summer season with a decent price reduction, to enable more A2 owners than ever to enjoy our intelligent convenience module, which makes daily use of their cars even more fun.“ says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. Another really neat feature is remote activated unlocking of the fuel cap. No more need to walk around to the driver’s side to press that hidden switch.

Other options include fully-automatic closing of all windows and sunroof upon locking the car, so neither can ever be “forgotten“ again. Also it is now possible to control all four windows at once with a switch combination on the driver’s door and the module can be programmed to automatically lock the doors while the car is in motion.

The module can be temporarily disabled if needed while retaining all other user configurable settings. It comes equipped with a standard USB port for quick and easy firmware upgrades and PC or laptop based module configuration. Support software and updates are available free of charge on the outfit’s website http://www.mods4cars.com.

Installation is quick and easy, thanks to a custom designed plug-in-between wiring adapter which uses OEM plugs and connectors. The connection between the RemoteKEY kit and the vehicle electronics is easily made by just plugging the connectors in between. No wires need to be cut or spliced. Complete removal is always possible.

Mods4cars has been developing specialized convenience and convertible top controller modules since 2002. Kits are being offered for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

A demonstration of this product for Audi A2 can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmYQGmDB7GE

Further details and purchasing information can be found online at: http://www.mods4cars.com

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Hawaiian Experience Spa Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Hawaiian Experience Spa, with locations in Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona is celebrating its fifth anniversary since it opened its first spa on July 17, 2007.

Scottsdale, AZ (USA), July 17, 2012 — Hawaiian Experience Spa ( http://hawaiianexperiencespa.com ) is celebrating its 5th anniversary since it first opened on July 17, 2007. The spa originally opened for business under the name “Healing Touch Spa, A Hawaiian Experience” in a 1,200 square foot facility at 116th and Shea, in Scottsdale, Arizona. The name was officially shortened to the current name, “Hawaiian Experience Spa” in 2009. In September of 2011 the day spa opened a second location in Chandler, Arizona that is nearly double the size of the original location. Then in December of 2011 the spa relocated its Scottsdale day spa to a new, larger, location a few blocks away from the original spa.

Hawaiian Experience Spa attributes its success, in tough economic times, in part to its hands on management. The primary owner, Steve Ibach, is a licensed massage therapist and Hawaiian lomi lomi instructor. He, along with his wife Cathy Ibach and son Mike Ibach (both of whom are co-owners) work full time at the spas ensuring each and every client has an exceptional experience during every visit. Additionally, the spa can adapt quickly to economic changes and clients’ needs in a way many competitors cannot.

Hawaiian Experience Spa is unique in several ways, offering client’s an experience unlike that of any other day spa in the area;

* Medical Level Massage Therapists: First, and perhaps most important, the spa only hires experienced medical level massage therapists. This differs from many local clinics who routinely hire newly graduated therapists.
* The spa has over 80 unique services. Many of the massages revolve around traditional Hawaiian lomi lomi which is very rare outside of Hawaii. The couples’ massages offered are one of a kind and couples come from as far away as Tucson, Arizona just to experience a Lomi for Lovers Massage and other couples experiences. Eminence organic facials, and organic body treatments round out the menu to provide clients with a full spa experience.
* Value pricing is also an important part of the business, especially during these economic times. The spa offers an optional membership for only $49 per month making its prices comparable to the large chain clinics while still offering superior services.
* Organic Products: Hawaiian Experience Spa uses the highest quality organic lotions, oils, scrubs, and other products for the health of our clients and our staff.

About Hawaiian Experience Spa:
Hawaiian Experience Spa ( http://hawaiianexperiencespa.com ), headquartered at 11300 E. Via Linda, Ste E, Scottsdale, AZ 85259 (phone: 480-661-2991) is a unique day spa for women, men, and couples. It is the largest genuine Hawaiian themed day spa in the continental United States and provides thousands of traditional Hawaiian lomi lomi massages annually along with other treatments inspired from Hawaiian culture.

Behind their fun and relaxing Hawaiian theme clients will also find some of the best trained massage therapists and estheticians in Arizona – providing advanced medical level massage therapy and highly effective all natural skin care.

Storytelling Mom and Grandma Creates Children’s Adventure Series

Alyce Joy Rininger is ready to release Ka-Boom, the first in what she hopes to be a series of books about Sprunetta Brunetta, a fairy nicknamed “Sprout” from the fictitious town of Spritesville.

Houston, TX (USA), Tuesday – July 17, 2012 — For decades, Alyce Joy Rininger has been writing and telling tales to her children and now grandchildren. The Ohio woman said she was in grade school when she discovered how much she loved to write. Rininger is ready to release Ka-Boom, the first in what she hopes to be a series of books about Sprunetta Brunetta, a fairy nicknamed “Sprout” from the fictitious town of Spritesville. Ka-Boom will be available through Halo Publishing International.

“I hope every child who reads my stories will look forward to each new adventure as Sprout becomes entangled in many, outrageous happenstances,” Rininger said.

“This is a delightful character and a wonderful story for families to share,” said Publisher Lisa Umina. “Rininger’s book will be enjoyed by many as they fall in love with little Sprout.

The author and her five siblings grew up in Akron, Ohio, where their father worked at Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. Rininger graduated from Kenmore High School and found employment at a few different Akron companies before meeting her husband, Arland, at a roller skating rink. The couple owned and operated Valley View Lake Park Recreation Area, a swimming and camping facility, for about 20 years.

The author said her husband encouraged and helped her get a booklet of original prayers published at an Akron-area printer and numerous copies of Priceless Gems were sold. She loved writing so much that she enrolled in a long distance learning course from the Institute of Children’s Literature located in Connecticut. And now, years later, she’s focused on creating a variety of story lines involving Sprout.

“I’m ready to fly,” she said. And, Rininger is again getting plenty of encouragement and help from her family and friends, particularly a daughter and granddaughter who have assisted her with learning new computer skills.

She recently presented Ka-Boom to educators and children in the Highland Local School District near her residence in Sharon Center Township, a rural community west of her hometown.

“This is a charming book that incorporates a magical fairy, adventure and a great message about having a positive attitude,” said Sharon Center Elementary School Principal Connie Marzullo. “This is a perfect bedtime story that is bound to be a real page turner.”

Rininger plans to share Ka-Boom with her high school graduating class who will host a book signing. She also is scheduling book signings at area libraries and schools.
