Beat the System is the seventh studio album of the Christian rock band, Petra. It was released in 1985.
It is the first album to feature John Lawry on keyboards, although he only joined towards the end of the recording process; his contributions were limited to some overdubs on the songs "Beat the System", "Clean" and "Adonai". Most of the keyboards on the album, as well as all the bass and drum parts, were performed by session musician Carl Marsh; Petra members Mark Kelly (bass) and Louie Weaver (drums) did not perform on the album.Fairlight programmer Rhett Lawrence added some elements to "Clean" and "Hollow Eyes". Carl Marsh's programming, under the direction of producer Jonathan David Brown, veered the sound of the album more in the techno-rock genre of music.
It is also the last studio album to feature the vocals of Greg X. Volz.
Track listing
All songs written by Bob Hartman, except where noted.
Beat the System is a Malaysian/American rock band from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Formed in 2005 by lead guitarist Stewart Sellan. Currently the band consists of lead guitarist Stewart Sellan, drummer/composer Gerald Sellan and composer Adrian Puan. Since the band's formation, there has been several line-up changes.
The band's debut single, "Gone", was on TraXX FM charts for 10 weeks in a row and 4 weeks at number 1. Beat the System has released multiple singles, including 2009's "Penipuan Berwaris", which was also selected as the single of Warner Music Malaysia compilation album "Indiestructable:Spirit of Freedom", 2010's "Transisi" a track that was written and produced by Beat the System for Warner Music Malaysia/EMI artist Fiq for his second album 'Diagnostik', and 2012's "Shine" featuring Malaysian Idol winner Jaclyn Victor.
In response to their single "Shine", Beat the System won the Song of the Year Award, Best Collaboration Award and Best Genre Bender Award at the 2012 Asian Voice Independent Music Awards featuring bands all over Asia.
"The System" (German: Das System) was a derogatory term used by the Nazis to denote contemptuously the Weimar Republic and its institutions. In Nazi publications and propaganda, the word was used in a number of compounds: for example, the period from the German Revolution of 1918–1919 to the Nazi seizure of power (German: Machtergreifung) in 1933 was called "The time of the System" (German: Systemzeit) and political opponents of the Nazis from this period were called "System parties", "System politicians" or the "System press". After the Nazi takeover, the term was quickly adopted to everyday use.
Another Nazi phrase used for the republic and its politicians was "the November criminals" or "the regime of the November criminals" (German: November-Verbrecher), referring to the month the republic was founded in. This term was used also by other nationalistic right-wing groups.
Donegal's winning of the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is considered "one of the great GAA managerial coups" in history. Prior to this Donegal had had little success in the Championship since 1992. Now they are the "FC Barcelona of Gaelic football"—with Michael Murphy cast as the Lionel Messi of the team.Admirers of "The System" from other sports include Europe's 2014 Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley and the soccer manager Neil Lennon.

Smith and Wesson released the first Body Guard in .380 to some mixed reception years ago and upon the cool reception Smith realized they could crank up the heat. Coming in and 5.5 inches long, 4 inches tall and an amazing 0.88 inches wide, the Bodyguard 2.0 didn't gain any bulk but now packs 10+1 or 12+1 of the proven .380 ACP AKA 9mm Kurz. Following the body line of the bigger S&W M&P line of pistols. If you are some one who changes your EDC up for summer than this needs to be in that rotation.

Coming in at under 10 ounces, there is no excuse to not have a handgun in your every day carry collection. Reliability with all ammo used was excellent to include Sig Sauer, Federal Punch, Hornady American Gunner and Critical Defense, Speer Gold Dot, G9 Defense External Hollo Point and Winchester Silvertip. Weather purse, pocket or holster the Bodyguard 2.0 is a winner from S&W. A Beretta Pico used to ride in a belly band back when I was running 5k races and this would be a great replacement if I ever decide to start again. The Ruger LCP-Max offers similar capability and the choice between the two probably comes down to personal preference. If you want something a little smaller than a full house 9mm but don't fell like being empty handed you need to give the bodyguard a serious look. Softer than most ulta-compacts and insanely reliable you wont go wrong with Smith's newest offering.
