		<description>It&#039;s all about the $ and until they feel the loss the GS will not change their new agenda.
However, they need to be honest about what it is and quit deluding the American public who have trusted this age-old organization.  So--yes--boycott those cookies---teach those cute little girls some morals and quit worrying about whether or not they get a cookie prize etc.---give them some money to purchase some craft items etc---because the new GS agenda have moved away from badges/crafts and what most are familiar with.  Don&#039;t leave these girls to question down the road-- &quot;why was I a part of this hugely liberal organization that promoted abortions!?&quot; and the biggest question will be---&quot;Why did my Catholic church ignore this?&quot;  Exceptions to the few brave churches who have taken a stand!</description>

		<description>The evil of PPH is everywhere... amidst our very young, innocent &amp; influential little girls.  Parents, be vigilant. 

As for buying cookies, I can&#039;t cancel my order - a little girl at my church depends on it this year &amp; she&#039;s too young to understand why I would do that.  However, next year I&#039;ll have to politely (and sadly) decline.

Heavenly Father, protect our little ones... all of them.</description>

		<description>I received the following information which I understand is sent by the Diocese of Knoxville to those who contact the Diocese concerning the connection between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood:

It is unfortunately true that over the past decade Planned Parenthood has worked particularly hard to develop a closer relationship, though not formal in nature, with Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA).  The &quot;Boycott List&quot; published by Life Decisions International cites the Girl Scouts as &quot;allow[ing] Planned Parenthood access to members.&quot;  As a result, some parents have decided to support an alternative Christian organization called Heritage Girls - http://www.ahgonline.org/.  Other parents, though, instead of abandoning the organization that they have invested much time in over the years, have become more keenly attentive to what is going on within the Girl Scouts and are committed to being a counter influence for its good, remaining vigilant for any signs of undue influence by the likes of such organizations as Planned Parenthood.   

Locally, we have one such committed Girl Scout mother who has accepted this challenge and is now working at the national level as well to help protect the integrity of the organization.  It is her opinion, and one shared by the bishop, that it is not time to abandon ship, but time to stand up as Catholics and to witness to our faith and to defend the principles consistent with this faith within the Girl Scouts.  Pasted below is a very informative article by Denver Auxiliary Bishop James Conley who addressed concerns about the Girl Scouts of America.  Bishop Stika&#039;s thoughts on the Girl Scouts do not differ from Bishop Conley&#039;s and he also echoes his cautions as well.   

As Bishop Conley points out, &quot;parents, as the primary educators of their children, have every right to insist that their beliefs, especially their moral and religious beliefs, be respected-not undermined-by the organizations to which they entrust their children.  Parents need to remain alert to the content of their daughters&#039; activities. And Catholics involved in the Girl Scouting movement should make it clear to leadership that Scouting is only a means to an end-the proper formation of young character.  It&#039;s not an end in itself; and should Scouting ever fail in that proper formation, other groups can be found or formed to take its place.&quot;

So while not remaining naïve of what has been occurring within the Girl Scouts at the national level, and no doubt within some councils and chapters in the U.S., parents are called to be vigilant, as they should be with their children&#039;s education in our public schools where Planned Parenthood also endeavors to impress its agenda and vision upon impressionable minds. 

The good about Girl Scouting, and a caution   http://www.archden.org/index.cfm/ID/6190 

June 1, 2011 - For many Catholics, Scouting is one of the best memories of childhood-and for good reason.  It&#039;s a time of fun, friendship and adventure. That was certainly my own Boy Scout experience.

At its best, Scouting forms the young person in a spirit of service. It creates a sense of duty to the wider community.  It also builds character and cultivates civic virtue.

So it&#039;s no surprise that many Catholic parishes sponsor Boy and Girl Scout troops.  And they&#039;ve done so, with great results, for decades. Plus, when it comes to the Girl Scouts, who can argue with the best cookies in the world?

Over the past year though, a growing number of Catholic parents and youth ministers have shared a concern with me.  And it deserves some discussion.

Their unease involves the Girl Scouts, and especially the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).

Youth ministers are quick to note that Scouting&#039;s structure allows for a lot of autonomy. Girls make up local troops.  Troops make up councils. And nationwide councils make up Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA). 

GSUSA and a few other large organizations make up WAGGGS. Each local council or troop determines what&#039;s appropriate for its specific needs.  Each troop leader decides what members see. 

Nonetheless, what happens at the international and national levels of Scouting has an important trickle-down effect. This is exactly why &quot;pro-choice&quot; organizations have worked to develop connections with the Scouting movement. 

Parents would be wise to spend some serious time browsing the WAGGGS (www.wagggsworld.org) and GSUSA websites, following the links they find there, and examining for themselves how these organizations deal with sexuality, &quot;choice&quot; and reproductive issues. It may be a sobering experience.

As one youth minister recently wrote:

&quot;It&#039;s hard to imagine that a girl who remains involved with Girl Scouts into young adulthood won&#039;t eventually learn of the connections her organization has with &#039;pro-choice&#039;, pro-contraception and &#039;reproductive freedom&#039; groups. 

Having been influenced by GSUSA, she&#039;ll be more receptive to this agenda.  And if she was introduced to GSUSA through her parents and her local parish, then that will inevitably create contradictions between her Catholic faith and her Scouting experience.&quot;

The many good things offered by Girl Scouting in Colorado deserve praise from the Catholic community. Scouting and the Church have always had, and hopefully will continue to have for many years, a very positive relationship.

But parents, as the primary educators of their children, have every right to insist that their beliefs, especially their moral and religious beliefs, be respected-not undermined-by the organizations to which they entrust their children.

Parents need to remain alert to the content of their daughters&#039; activities. And Catholics involved in the Girl Scouting movement should make it clear to leadership that Scouting is only a means to an end-the proper formation of young character.

It&#039;s not an end in itself; and should Scouting ever fail in that proper formation, other groups can be found or formed to take its place.

		<description>When there is another option, it is always good to raise our children in the path of what is right.  In this case, there IS another option.  The American Heritage Girls is founded on Christian Values.  Our daughter and our money will NOT serve a company that carries out abortions. Our daughter and our money will work for Christ.</description>

		<description>Nice article. I&#039;ve not bought GSC in quite some time, and have never made a practice of purchasing them. However, the argument, IMO, falls flat. Perhaps we should apply that line of reasoning to anything we consume in life - any food, spirituous beverage, clothing, printing services and Heaven forbid, the Internet. Somewhere, somebody will use the money we exchange for products or services in a manner with which we disagree. Shall we then exorcise ourselves from this world? Why, of course not! It&#039;s impossible! What we can do, however, is to continue to raise consciousness and work toward justice. Since the fall of humanity, the world has been under the burden of a culture of death. It won&#039;t get any better until the end of time as we know it. And yet, it neither excuses us from continuing to labor in the Master&#039;s fields for His harvest. </description>

		<description>Anybody can give you nasty comments but personally I think you guys are good people. Nobody can honestly say that they&#039;ve never jumped into something only to soon discover that they&#039;d jumped in over their heads. I sure did when I first decided to go out and adopt a couple of border collie puppies straight from working lines (I had only a bold flock of hens and a couple goats that would sooner hit a dog than obey it), I had no idea what I was getting into. But it takes a big person to admit their mistake, learn from it, and take the necessary measures to move back in the right direction. Although it was hard (and I completely understand the feeling. After my puppy killed some of my chickens I had to turn him over to the rescue. That was one of the hardest animal losses I&#039;ve had to endure) to part with a beloved family member, you recognized that it was in his best interests that he be somewhere that he&#039;ll have some more stimulation. I&#039;ll bet all the people giving you nasty comments about owning a camel could never say that they&#039;ve done something so bold and selfless. I respect your decision and would defend your choices all the way. They&#039;re just jealous that they didn&#039;t get to own a camel.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t know how old these posts are, but I&#039;m a believer.  Had my first scope five years ago and they took out three polyps.  Later testing showed they were pre-cancerous.  Had I not had it done, I&#039;d be fighting cancer today.  Instead, I&#039;m going in for another CScope tomorrow.  My entire family died of this stuff.  Now, I can lick it and die of something else.</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for your tip here. It helped so much. It resolved my issue. 

I use iMovie 7.1.4 to record audition videos right onto my MacBook Pro. This was working with little effort until QuickTime 7.6 came out. (I did not upgrade to iMovie 8.0.) Now, when I export from iMovie to a QT movie, the audio and video are out of sync. I can&#039;t find anything online about adjustments I can make in the iMovie export process to fix this. So, thanks again for the QT Sync tip.

I&#039;m afraid Daniel Riisager Döderlein is correct about your 2nd video, at least when I view it. I&#039;m on a MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo using QuickTime 7.6, if that helps you any. It pops out around 1:38.</description>

		<description>After about 2 mins your &quot;resynced&quot; movie is out of sync! I&#039;m not sure if its the flash player on my MacBook (new) or if its your original resynced video - but its out of sync!

		<description>thanks big bald guy -this issue was pissing me off big time. I am sure most Macbook using bloggers have run across it at some point. QT sync totally helped fix the problem, but I agree - why do we have to waste time hunting it down - this hasn&#039;t come up to Apple ?</description>
