"It's not the depth of a recession that matters; it's the length. Anyone can hold their breath for a minute when they're 10 feet underwater but a man can drown in six inches of water if he's face-down long enough" -Peter Atwater

Dear ,

No Free Lunch But There is a Free Movie!

(Very Short video message-Please listen)

Reames Financial in conjunction with United Development Funding is hosting an Atlas Shrugged II World Movie Premier party at the Rave Movie Theater in downtown Kalamazoo! We've rented out a whole theater for a private showing of Atlas Shrugged II for our United Development Funding Shareholders and our invited guests.

Everyone who attends will receive FREE admission, FREE popcorn and pop, and a FREE Who Is John Galt commemorative T-Shirt!

Next to the Bible; Atlas Shrugged and The Foutainhead (another Ayn Rand book) are two of the most influential books in my life. If you're not familiar with Ayn Rand and her work you are in for a real treat. For those that are familiar, you already know that.

Ayn Rand's fans span the spectrum of politics and beliefs. From Phil Donoghue to Glenn Beck. From Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve. From author James Clavell to director Steven Spielberg. People from all walks of life have described her books as life changing. Here is one example.

"Take tennis legend Martina Navratilova. Asked by the Gardiner Public Library to name her favorite book, she picked The Fountainhead. Her reasons? "The striving for excellence, sticking to your beliefs and ideals even if it means going against the popular tide. Accepting responsibility-wow, what a concept-too bad politicians don't read these books."

Or this one:

"Vince Vaughn: "The last book I read was the book I've been rereading most of my life-The Fountainhead."" This isn't uncommon with Ayn Rand books. I've read the Fountainhead twice and I'm reading Atlas shrugged for the 10th time right now.

Here is a short, creative 2 minute video where one man explains what Atlas Shrugged has meant in his life.

Lessons from Atlas Shrugged

To give you a flavor of Ayn Rand's philosophy, here are a couple of Ayn Rand quotes:

"Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)."

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me."

"The most depraved type of human being is the man without a purpose."

Now take a quick peak at the movie preview that is showing in theaters right now!

I had a bag of multi colored peppers that I didn't want to go to waste so I thought I'd try a new recipe. As usual I tinkered with it a bit. In addition to the onion I sauteed some garlic and hungarian peppers for flavor and heat. This soup is more of an appetizer soup like french onion. Pretty good if I do say so myself!
