bevreview.com also quotes the press release from Pepsi saying:
An all-new premium cola, Pepsi Natural is made with all-natural ingredients, including lightly sparkling water, natural sugar, natural caramel and kola nut extract. The amber-hued cola gets its color from natural caramel and natural apple extract. From the amount of bubbles to the foam that rises to the top of beverage when it's poured, Pepsi Natural offers a brand-new cola experience.
Pepsi Natural is packaged in a sleek 12-oz. glass bottle and is available in single-serve and 4-packs initially in the premium and/or natural food aisles of retail outlets in the following ten regional markets; Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas and New York.

I've been blogging about my love for Pepsi for some time now. And part of my blogs have been about Pepsi's need to come out with their sodas in bottles again. Well, they finally heard me....at least I'm going to take credit for it on this site. I mean, they are making it with premium ingredients and calling in natural, and I'm betting it's not going to be found in the normal canned soda section, instead look in the health/premium foods section, but I've been saying glass bottles since.......March 10, 2008 and again on August 24, 2008.
I am such a die hard fan, I'm thinking of taking a trip to San Fransisco to try and find some of this Pepsi Natural. Anyone want to go?

Pepsi Natural
On February 19th I talked about Pepsi and Mountain Dew Throwback, both the original products being made with real sugar instead of HFCS. Through researching that information, I came across a website called bevreview.com. I also saw something about following the site's updates with Twitter. So, I started following and...about 30 minutes ago I saw an update from today for a product called "Pepsi Natural." I had to check it out and this is the first thing I saw.
bevreview.com also quotes the press release from Pepsi saying:

The New Holodeck
I found this on Gizmodo, one of the tech blogs I read. To steal the description from Gizmodo, it's like the modern day Holodeck from Star Trek TNG. This is a really neat video, and I would love to have something like this for designing some of my ideas for houses, cars, and even video game worlds.
It takes a minute to get going, but it's a cool video.

Depeche Mode's "Wrong" Video
I've been a Depeche Mode fan for a really long time. I have every album they've produced since 1981 through 2005 and I still listen to them all, all the time. I truly love the sound of their music, still. Well there is a new CD coming out soon, four years later, and I can't wait. Although the song in the video below takes a couple of listens to get used to, the video made the song for me. Watch.
The three guys looking at the guy in the car are DM's members. Now that I've found their YouTube site, I may post more videos.
UPDATE: I like that they used a Crown Victoria in this video.
Just a Personal Update
The next passage of Romans is a hard study for me today. I'm going to hold off on writing about it today and re-read it again tomorrow. I'm hoping more insight and understanding will come from more time to read it and meditate on it.
I also realized I haven't been doing my book review updates. I have 2 more chapters of the book "Crazy Love" to review and I will work on those tomorrow too.
With the economy the way it is and the financial world going through trying times, my company has made cutbacks in the hours and salaries of all employees. The bank is doing this as a measure to drive off the need for layoffs. My bank is rated as the more solid and secure bank in the USA and I feel like it is still a good company to work for. This has caused me to have Thursdays off. It's good and bad. It allows me to watch Caleb and spend more time with him. But it causes Lisa to have to work. I do have an interview for a promotion on the 11th and I'm praying that God allows is for me to step into this new role. It's a huge step, but one that gets me back to where I believe I'd be if I had never left the bank.
I guess this is a prayer request. This opportunity would allow me to get back into what I enjoy doing for the bank. I'd be the District Operations Manager, managing the Northern Sacramento Branches (Colfax down), where my duties would be to manage the branches to the banks policies and procedures and federal regulations. I'll admit, I would be a little freak out at first, as this would be a giant step after 5 years away. But I know that I can do it. I have 8 years of experience with the same bank. I have my law enforcement background, which may be used in preparing for court, organizing reports, and conducting interviews and investigations. I know that the two Operations Specialists I'd be working with have a great amount of knowledge and experience. I think we would have around 15-20 branches in our district. That's a lot, but when I was an Operations Specialist in 2003 I had 14 branches all to my self. I am praising God just for the opportunity, and I know that he put me in the bank for a reason.
Praise God today with all you do and say. Be in constant prayer, relying on Him for the strength needed to avoid sin and bring glory to Him.

No Longer Under the Law
Chapter 7:1-6 of Romans talks about our release from the law because we are now under Christ. Paul uses the analogy of a woman being freed from the bonds of marriage when her husband dies. Likewise, we are dead to the law and alive in Christ.
This passage was really written to those who found (or believed they found) their salvation in obedience to the law. The problem is: we all sin; we all fall short of perfection in adherence to the law. And that disqualifies us from righteousness and holiness and the requirements to enter the presence of the Holy God.
This passage is necessary in understanding that no matter how well we know and understand and follow the law, we can not earn salvation from it. It's really quite comforting to know that we must trust in God and believe His grace is the only thing that can provide salvation from our sins.
Praise God for His Grace.
