		<description>This is really good advice.  Thanks for sharing!  

One thing though, Gasoline does evaporate, but also the extra weight drags the car more.  Gasoline weighs a lot, so my thinking has always been the car probably gets better gas mileage with less gas versus more.  I&#039;m probably wrong, but the weight difference has to make a difference I would think.</description>

		<description>Marc,

After some review of your many postings, I find that your use of thrival is diluting the term. Most of your postings have nothing to do with actual thriving from the inside out. The reference to thrival for survival is convoluted. One would note even have a concern with 
survival when thriving. 

So, I am asking that you change the titling of your blog to essentially not dilute my service mark and brand any further.

Your experiences do have a con gusto sense to them, yet do
not rise or carry the essence of thriving in most any sense. Certainly there is some more precise labelling that you can find from the language.

Thank you,

Paul Radde</description>

		<description>Hi Marc,

I saw the link in facebook, and have read a few of your reviews. Thank you for your comments on Job. Regarding #4, I recall a study in Daniel last year with a few of the folks in SEND, and what really struck me is the fact that we have an Ancient of Days who knows everything and has seen everything and that no one gets away with anything done in private. We talked about sin that goes completely uncovered (to man) but God will reveal one day and judge. For example, unsolved murders, or child kidnappings that are never solved. No one can understand why. But we can take comfort that we have the Ancient of Days!</description>

		<title>Comment on Identity Theft by Lou Riccio</title>

		<description>Identity Theft is a hideous crime and is also one of the fastest growing in our country. Most people think of their financials when they consider ID Theft. Their  online activity with credit cards, their bank accounts, and SSN.

Top level executives at major corporations have been toppled for not protecting their employees or customers data.

The preventive steps are important and essential, but you can never totally prevent ID  Theft. Monitoring your credit reports is a great way to detect any fraudulent activity and head off any problems, but you have more things to consider. There are in reality, five types of ID Theft

1. Credit - Financials
2. DMV - Drivers License, Driving record, tickets, etc
3. SSN - Tax records. People working with your SSN, etc
4. MIB - Medical Information Bureau: Your Health records
5. Justice Files - Peolple commit crimes and use your name      when caught. You end up with a record.

From the list above, it easy to get a grotesque glimpse of how your life could be if you became a victim of ID Theft in one or more of these areas.

The best solution is to have continuous monitoring of all these categories of your identity, and also have the program in place to RESTORE your identity when you become a victim.
