It has been a while since we have looked in I Corinthians together, so I think it might be wise to briefly review the letter to this point. First, thing to keep in mind is we know from Acts 18 that Paul planted this church. He spent a significant amount time their helping them grow in their understanding of Christ. After Paul leaves he keeps in contact with some of his dear friends, and learns there are some serious problem in this church. Paul a man of deep concern and conviction decides to write them a letter. In I Cor 1-6 Paul address the "oral reports" that were given to him, but in I Cor 7-16 he addresses the matters they wrote to him about. These oral and written reports are covering certain topics, and I Cor 11-14 is addressing Corporate Worship, or Sunday Gatherings.
Paul wants to help the Corinthians understand several aspects of the Sunday Gathering, but one of those topics is the "gifts". In order understand those we need to understand the different two main types of gifts Paul told us about last time—READ I Cor 12.1, 4. There are what we would call "natural gifts" and also "spiritual gifts." There are certain gifts God has given to people that are not coupled with salvation and those are "natural gifts." But the "spiritual gifts" are the unique gifts God has given to His people—the church. Everyone else in the world does not have them unless they have Christ. Paul is continuing to discuss that in the text we are looking at today. I think if there were one main theme Paul wants us to understand it would be....
Theme: God has given us various spiritual gifts in order to help us understand the unifying power of Christ.
1. Our Shared Experience—I Cor 12.12-13.
Paul opens this section by reminding the Corinthian Christians of the shared experiences they all have had—READ I Cor 12.12-13. Though we all are different we received the great spiritual gift—SALVATION—in Christ. We all experienced the grace of God through someone teaching us the meaning of His life, death, and resurrection. If you are someone who treasures that message, then that is a gift we share with people from all over the world. We share that gift with people from all over the world—from different backgrounds, personalities, and so much more. While we are all different we have become one family in Jesus Christ. We share the same Father—the Father of heaven and earth.
That is not the only "shared" experience we have, but we also share others. No matter what our theological conviction is on baptism, every Christian has been baptized. Some Christians say this supposed to happen before conversion, while others say it is supposed to happen after. But all have shared this experience.
There are some who would argue that the language in I Cor 12.13 is proof that we are supposed to share in a "second baptism"—a baptism of the Holy Spirit. I am not going to address that issue in its entirety here today, but I do not think this text is supports that view. There are others that might, but certainly not this one. What Paul is talking about in I Cor 12.13 is meant to remind the Corinthians that the Spirit of God changed their hearts toward God and the Gospel. That was not their own work, but an experience they all shared.
Isn't it great when you have people in your life who can say, "Yes, I have felt that way too. I have had a similar experience." People who have gone through cancer can understand each other better than people who haven't. Christians who have experienced salvation will always be able to go deeper with each other than they can with non-Christians (at least we should).
2. Our Deformed Purposes—I Cor 12.14-20.
As we move into verses 14-20 I believe what we see here is a warning from our brother Paul. He uses a metaphor of the body to illustrate his point. Listen to what he says—READ I Cor 12.14-17. When we think deeply on the metaphor Paul is illustrating to us I believe it shows how tempted we are to view other people in the kingdom through a deformed sin-filled lens.
If we saw a big foot walking around talking to people you would say, "I don't know what that is, but it is not human." Yet what Paul is talking about we do in our hearts all the time. We look at different roles, gifts, personalities and give them a bigger place in our hearts than we should. We are all tempted to view human relationships in this deformed way.
Paul does not want this for us, because of what it says about God—READ I Cor 12.18. When elevate certain gifts, personalities, roles, or whatever in our hearts. When we do this we are determining their worth and value—functioning replacing God. We are attempting to place ourselves on the throne, and saying to God, "I got this. I will determine who is of value." But the truth is God has distributed gifts, roles, personalities, races, and so much more to help us see HIM more clearly. When we don't seek to understand and appreciate the purposes for which God has made others, then we develop deformed views of God, and deformed views of each other. The Divine purposes God has plotted out for us become deformed, warped, mutilated and crippled by our sin. God through the apostle Paul is telling us to turn from this sin and repent. So how do we do that?
3. Our Reformed Connection—I Cor 12.21-26.
I think the clearest way is to recognize our need for reformation. We need the Gospel to penetrate our hearts so deeply that the love of God will compel us to see what He sees more clearly. When we look at I Cor 12.21-26 we can some very practical statement for us on how to think about each other, but these statements lack life changing power unless they are read in light of the Gospel. Only when we deeply treasure the Gospel will these phrases having lasting meaning, valuable, and powerful purposes—READ I Cor 12.21-26.
Friends, Jesus Christ fulfills every meaningful statement in this text. Christ we deemed by the world as "weak", yet I Cor 1.25 told us that the weakness of God is stronger than all human strength. Jesus displayed that weakness by willingly going to the Cross. God took was deemed by the world as dishonorable act and made Christ's work on the Cross-the highest act in history. During His life Jesus was divisive controversial figure, but now it is under banner of Christ that all people everywhere are called into unifying community—"there is NO division in the body". As Jesus Christ suffered we now suffer with Him. But like Christ our suffering is not meaningless or purposeless, no, it will be found to result in God-glorifying joy. Because Christ was honored by the Father we are promised we will be honored with Him. In this we will all rejoice together.
4. Our Various Divine Assignments—I Cor 12.27-31a.
READ I Cor 12.27—you see the beginning of this verse assumes you "Now" treasure the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It assumes that if you have been grafted into the family of God then you will understand God has given different Divine assignments—"spiritual gifts" as it were—to various people. We gather together as God's people to help each other understand our assignments so we will grow into a deeper knowledge of who God is. In another text Paul clearly explains this to us:
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.—Ephesians 4.11-13
Our divine assignments are about helping us move into a deeper knowledge of Christ. These assignments are given to the church so we will treasure Christ more and more everyday.
These assignments are not about some individual internal experience, but for the building up of the body. It is not enough for you to understand your own gifts so you can grow in your affections for Christ, but we all need the Spirit of God to help us understand appreciate each others assignments. When that happens not only will we grow deeper into our relationship with God but we will also help others grow deeper as well.
When we understand the main purpose of "spiritual gifts" it helps us read the other details in the proper light. Let me give you one example that might been confusing for you in your Bible reading of this passage. This section ends with this, "But earnestly desire the higher gifts." What was happening in Corinth was they were desiring or treasuring the gifts that were the most charismatic and flashy instead of useful. The first 3—apostles, prophets, teachers—are essentially a display of priority in redemptive history. For instance, it says in Acts 2 that the first Christians devoted themselves to the apostles teaching. The apostles helped them understand the prophets, and now the teachers today help us understand both. We should all desire to be teachers, so we can teach others to understand the message of the apostles and prophets. Not all will have this gift in the same way, but all should be striving toward this end. Why? Once again it is because the apostles and prophets were given to the Church to help grow in our affections for Jesus Christ. The Divine assignments God has given us all are meant to help all people grow in their affections for Christ. In the context of Sunday Gatherings of the whole church it makes sense to give priority to the gifts that will help people grow deeper into understand the teachings of the apostles and prophets, so they can help build people into a fuller knowledge and appreciation of Jesus Christ.

Cardiff: Qatar Airways (QA) will soon apply for starting an airline in India, which will be a full service carrier operating within the country. While the proposed airline will be fully-owned by Qatar entities, it will have an Indian chairman and majority of board members will also be from India. QA has also stated it is not bidding for Air India.
In his first interaction with the Indian media since last March when he announced the plan to set up an airline in India, QA Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker told "Our lawyers have started working on our application. We will soon get some clarification from government authorities in India to give us the exact direction on how we can start the process (and) formally apply for the (licence) sometime soon."
Qatar will not have an Indian partner in this proposed airline. "Indian foreign direct investment rules clearly state that a foreign entity can own 100% of a domestic carrier and we are going by that rule. However, it will be a carrier in India that will be managed by Indians. The entire board, minus one or two people, will be all Indians including the chairman," Al Baker said.
The government had in June 2016 allowed 100% foreign-owned carrier in India. While the foreign airline can have up to 49% stake, foreign investment arm/s can own the remaining 51%.
"If an (Indian) airline has more than 20 aircraft, it can operate outside India (as per Indian rules). However the airline that we are launching will operate within India even beyond 20 aircraft," Akbar Al Baker said.

Dominik Jackson walked away from the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit as a triple Radical Challenge race winner.
The RAW Motorsports driver came out on top of a close three-way battle to the flag for the final spoils of the Radical Festival weekend in Belgium.
That was one of the best races I've ever been involved inRAW Motorsports driver Dominik Jackson
And that completed a hat-trick of wins for Jackson, following success in the two earlier rounds at the track.
After a smooth getaway, Jim Booth streaked ahead in the Invitational SR8 class, leaving Jackson to take the Challenge lead. RAW driver Marcello Marateotto made the most of a run wide from Banbury team-mate Steve Burgess at La Source to take second ahead of Jérôme de Sadeleer and Brian Caudwell.
While Jackson streaked away in a bid to negate his forthcoming maximum success pit-stop penalty, the battle for second saw RAW driver Burgess chase down the front runners.
An intense four-way battle unfolded but as Marateotto and Burgess diced coming out of La Source on lap six, de Sadeleer pulled off an awesome move to take them both through Eau Rouge.
Burgess and Team Challenge's Tom Gladdis regularly swapped order as they explored every opportunity to pass the Italian ahead of the stops.
With class leader Jackson, de Sadeleer and Burgess all to serve success second penalties in the pit stop cycle, Marateotto moved into the outright and class lead ahead of his team-mates Jackson and Burgess. From there, the RAW trio fought hammer and tong to the chequered flag.
In the end it all came down to the final lap, Jackson finally finding a way around Marateotto's robust defence in a move that started at the Bus Stop and concluded at La Source. Then a spin from Burgess at Bruxelles in turn delayed Marateotto, leaving Jackson to sprint to the flag.
But post-race penalties for short stops for Marateotto and Burgess promoted Jim Booth to second overall, in turn shooting de Sadeleer up to second in Challenge. Kristian Jeffrey completed the podium slots from 13th.
Jackson said: "That was one of the best races I've ever been involved in. Having the 20-second penalty made it particularly hard.
"It was as close as you get without ending up in the wall, but it was fair. During the first half of the race I just kept putting in times as though I was in a qualifying session and I couldn't do anymore than that.
"It's been a fantastic weekend and we'll crack on to Oulton Park."

Eye Laser Treatment is a Sight For Sore Eyes
Modern technology has made it feasible for all of us to see what we've been overlooking. Eye Laser Treatment really is a sight for sore eyes. The corrective operation has made it possible for millions of people around the globe to have a better look in the world around them. Our eyes, like any other part of the human body, are exposed to various issues. Vision issues like astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia are actually quite common and may be generally corrected with glasses or contact lenses. For those who aren't able to see themselves wearing glasses there are a few alternatives.
Find More Info Victor Derhartunian
Eye Laser Treatment is getting more popular everyday. There are various types of laser surgery that can be performed to correct your vision problems. These procedures don't come cheap. On the other hand, the results could be amazing. The artwork of laser surgery has come a long way. The surgeon's abilities have greatly improved with experience and the technology has made the procedures safer and more effective. Should you feel there's a candidate for laser eye surgery you should be aware that there are a number of procedures to select from. Let's examine some of those surgical options:
1. LASIK Eye Surgery - LASIK is the shorter version for its technical definition of laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis. This is probably one of the most well-known alternatives to glasses or contact lenses since it's an outpatient procedure and the recovery time is typically very brief. The LASIK procedure basically alters the arrangement of the retina. If the operation is a victory the optimal results would be that rather than light beams missing their mark on the retina; the embryo will guide the light rays directly onto it. This procedure is performed on a delicate area of the eye and there are always risks with any operation. It should be constantly aware that LASIK doesn't guarantee 20/20 vision although about 70% will achieve it. Even in the event that you've got this procedure you might still need to have enhancement processes later on. The sad part is; this procedure is not typically covered through an insurance program. This significantly less than 15 minute process permits the surgeon to reduce a very small flap of tissue away from the cornea; alterthe form of the cornea and then the flap is then pulled back over that region. No stitches are involved along with a very simple eye patch covers the eye for protection so the recovery may begin. Many men and women go back to work the very next moment.
2. Photoretractive Keratectomy (PRK) This process is your predecessor and solution to LASIK laser eye correction surgery. This procedure is similar to LASIK except that the corneal flap is not necessary. The excimer laser can be used to execute this procedure which essentially removes tissue in the cornea as calculated with a really high tech computer to change the curvature and allow the retina to receive a clearer vocal point. Studies have shown that in regards to the myopic inhabitants; at least 80 percent might be qualified for this particular procedure. As with LASIK; it is advisable that the patient be an adult age 19 or older and the eyes can't be suffering from any disease or illness that would prevent operation. This procedure is generally more painful and the recovery time is longer.
3. LASEK -LASEK or Laser epithelial keratomileusis is another alternative that's rather similar to PRK. In cases where the outer layer of the cornea is too thin to generate a corneal flap; the LASEK procedure requires the epithelial flap to be raised; the alteration implemented after which this flap lowered back into position. Once more; the recovery time is longer than LASIK.
As with any operation it is ideal to consult your medical professional and permit them to choose which option is best for you. They could explain all of the risks and requirements which are included with the various procedures. When it comes to laser eye correction surgery; seeing is believing.

Roulette excitement

The excitement, thrill and pleasure of having expectations make the roulette games of the online casinos exceptional and popular. The speed of the online casino games enable the players to play faster and win faster. The majority of players are of the opinion that when compared to casino games like poker, Punto Banco and some other games the rules of roulette are simpler and easier. The most thrilling aspect of roulette is the unpredictable rolling of the ball around the wheel.
Easy, quick and thrilling
The excitement that the players have while playing roulette tempts them to play more and to bet higher. Hence to pull out from the game at the right time is indeed a challenging task. Some people decide to pull out after a win whereas some others decide to try another spin. Every player will be having his own approach for the game. Each player of roulette will have the chance to win when the ball falls exactly on his number. The "ball fall" on the special number of the player is the most interesting as well as exciting part of the game. Though a player happens to suffer losses in this game, he is not going to lose always. When he wins, the pain of losses will be no more and the player keeps on playing the game. In the roulette game, success comes all of a sudden. Once the player finds himself at a winning position he gains confidence and gets convinced that the technique used by him is really good. Roulette is a simple and easy online game that promises quick gains, thrilling experiences and a lot of excitement.
A lot of options for playing roulette
Those who want to play roulette online should possess a PC, Smartphone or Tablet with internet connection. In case the internet connection fails while playing the game, the online casino will realize the same so that the player won't lose his money. Pay-outs for roulette are same for online casinos and land-based casinos. The player who begins with a 1 euro chip on the European Roulette can win up to 36 euros.

New roulette players may learn and play

The new players need not play the games straight away with real money. They can avail the "free play" offer first and check the quality of the game software. The new players can also learn a lot about the strategies and tactics by going through the articles posted by experts and also from the bloggers.
No-Deposit Casino Bonus
The normal way of playing casino games is to deposit money into the players account and start playing. In this method, either the casino will make money or the player will make money by winning the games. No-deposit casino bonus is a new method introduced by online casinos to attract more new players. In this method, the player need not deposit real money into the account. The casino will register new players for a few dollars, for example $50 of real money and the players can start betting on the roulette without depositing real money. The casinos play affiliates over $200 per newly registered player even if the new players do not deposit money. The casino can afford this kind of deal because they know that at least a few players will be losing regularly. Hence, No-Deposit bonus is one among the various promotion tactics of online casinos.

Well, starting right where you left off, I'll respond to your question: Do I consider myself lucky or unlucky that the first person I found is the first person I fell in love with? Funny you should ask, because I do actually think about that sometimes. I don't know, am I lucky?
On the one hand, I do feel extremely unlucky. Getting into this so early on tends to lead to me to fear the possibility (and very possible probability) that we, in fact, won't last forever. Of course, being in love with Andrew, I want desperately to deny that possibility. Yet I can't help but assume that I have been cursed — cursed with a blessing that will very likely be snatched away from me one day by the fates. That's just how it usually works. And because of this, I often find myself wishing that we had only met and fallen for each other years into the future instead of now.
On the other hand, how could I not be lucky? It's Andrew! Even a small morsel of perfection (as imperfect as it is) is better than none at all. Which isn't to say that Andrew is a small morsel. I'd consider him a larger-than-small morsel. It's like enjoying an amazing piece of red velvet cheesecake at the beginning of a meal because the servers happened to bring it out too early. Better to have it now than never, otherwise you're left with a stale cookie later on. And truthfully, he is my savior. Where would I be without him?
Especially since we do fit together so magically, it's difficult to deny that it's ridiculously lucky and perfect. Normally, I'm not much of a believer in fate and destiny, and I prefer the more logical and less stupid coincidental system of the world. However, there is just no way on Earth that we ended up together on a basis of coincidence.
Allow me to point out:
- Andrew has seen Wicked on Broadway, has read the book, has a cat named Fiyero, and even relates himself to said character. (Really when you think about it, it's not too far off. Fiyero is a bit of stoner-like character, I just realized. Don't you think?)
- Speaking of cats, he used to own one called Rafiki.
- He has pretty much the same spiritual beliefs as I do. I know plenty of other people who would scoff at my thoughts on energy and the power of the mind.
- We have an incredible understanding of each other that allows us to communicate without any problems.
- You and I just happened to predict the turn of events, with my silly New Year's resolution and your comment on his and my potential compatibility on that one walk-around-the-block of ours.
- You also happened to be the most perfect best friend at the moment of his random ass attack on my lips.
- His random ass attack on my lips was during the cast party after the play. It's only my dream or whatever to be in one of those backstage romance things, no big deal. Hello, match made in heaven! Olivia and Sir Andrew Aguecheek in the end, whodda thunkit?
- You've seen his bathroom and what it's decorated with. And the snow globes in his bedroom.
- And my mom likes him, loves him, has had a dignified conversation with him about smoking weed and doesn't seem to mind, and secretly would like me to marry him, I'm sure.
- (Also, side note: we would make the gorgeousest looking babies who would have a 50% chance of having blue eyes thanks to our sexy genes.)
OK, so he eats meat and I don't. Oops.
And as far as fitting together like puzzle pieces goes… I guess I never really thought about it. I don't have any other prior cuddle buddies to compare him to, so I never really noticed that it even could be awkward. The only time I can remember ever making a note of how we fit together was at the very beginning of our relationship. We were lying on the bed, and I had remembered you telling me that when the two of YOU lay together that one time, there was some junk about you being too low and not by his face. Something like that. And so I thought, "Huh, this doesn't seem to be weird. And he seems comfortable enough too. Heh."
When we lie together, I never think of us as two people anymore. Instead we are welded together as a new and single entity. There is no space in between us (I don't really allow it). Each atom of mine that is touching his is tingling with a quiet euphoria.
I have this stoner theory about why people touch. I believe that the only reason why people make physical contact (intentionally) is for an exchange of energy to occur. And in that energy is emotion, thought, purpose, empathy, etc. It's an exchange that is necessary to survive. Without it, your soul is a blank sheet of paper that doesn't have a chance to change or grow. You are left without essence.
Applied to sex, it explains orgasm. I'm going to go ahead and get graphic here. You are literally inside someone or someone is inside you, as close as you can get. You are touching and touching and touching. Energy (and everything that comes with it as explained earlier) is heightened to the extreme, and your souls are practically vibrating with the amount of information it receives in the exchange. Well, that energy needs to go somewhere since your soul would explode or break down like a computer, so (for the male) it is released as a physical substance that is meant to stay with the other person and leave a mark (aka a baby). For men, anyway. I can't totally explain female coming. Or masturbation. It's just a theory in progress. Actually it's probably really only a hypothesis.
And like I said before, I thought of it when I was high. Also, it sounds way cooler and more legitimate if you're high when you think about it. You can totally visualize it. Also, I confess that I actually only thought about the sex part just now.
So there it is, more train of thought continued. My life is not worth talking about either.
P.S. I think that thinking of titles is fun, especially since I mostly just steal them from somewhere, mostly songs. It's neat to find lyrics or a quote or reference that can perfectly match my mood or thought, yet still remain somewhat curious.
P.P.S. After "P.S." and "P.P.S." you're just supposed to keep adding P's, since P.S. stands for "post script." So it becomes a post post-script, and a post post-post-script and so on.
P.P.P.S. Sabrina herself is not doing so well.

Metal Gear Good 4 Guns of the Patriots – Technology and Plot Holes?
A battlefield you can uncover wherever, anytime / No area to cover – this is how Metal Gear Good 4: Guns of the Patriots (MGS4) is described. Hideo Kojima, Shujo Murata and Yoji Shinkawa are the producers, administrators and writers of the match. If you have read mecha mangas or observed futuristic anime sequence these as: Ghost in the Shell, GANTZ, Saikano, Gundam Seed, Evangelion or Code Geass you will definitively be equipped to correlate people sequence to this match. MGS4 fuses many components in this futuristic war match, artificial intelligence, self-mindful overcome models a great deal like the Tachikomas of GITS and equipment which merged look a large amount like the remaining type of Chise in Saikano (The elegance and the beast unit)
Metal Gear Good 4 is not like any other war match you have performed until now, it stands on your own mainly because the notion has only been observed in Japanese animations and not in online video online games. 50 percent-Lifestyle two is the only match which has some similitudes to this match mainly because it is also pretty futuristic, but in MGS4 the player ought to experience many commandos with the help of other AI overcome models.
The most important character of the match "Previous Snake" a genetically engineered soldier is sent to the Center East by Roy Campbell in purchase to terminate Liquid Ocelot, a person who operates Outer Heaven which at the exact time controls the five premier private navy businesses (PCMs) that struggle wars for organization uses. As you see the plot is really elaborate as there are many proxies which control corporations and overcome models, so it may perhaps be pure to feel a bit disoriented as considerably as realizing what is actually likely on in the match. Some avid gamers …

Defendants Move For Mistrial in Pinnacle Hip Trial, Citing Improper Reference to Other Lawsuits
October 13, 2017
DALLAS — DePuy and Johnson & Johnson have moved for a mistrial in the 4th bellwether Pinnacle hip trial on the basis that plaintiffs' counsel has repeatedly referred to other lawsuits involving defendants' metal-on-metal hip implants.
In an Oct. 11 motion filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, defendants contend that the existence of other lawsuits involving the Pinnacle Ultamet and ASR implants has no relevance to the claims being tried in the cases at issue, and is highly prejudicial.
"Indeed, plaintiffs' counsel's improper questioning has effectively invited the jury to decide these cases based ...

Last Minute Rush For Voters Registration In Borno State
Barely 24hrs to the lapse of the extended period of registration for the permanent voters' card in Borno state, eligible voters have been trooping to the various centers, to beat the deadline.
The one month extension which ends on Friday 31st august, will remain closed, until after the 2019 general elections.
The period after august 31st, and before the elections, is expected to allow for the printing and continuous collection of permanent voters cards, PVCS, and the consolidation of the figures already collected.
INEC'S resident electoral commissioner in Borno state, Mohammed Magaji, explained that a total cumulative figure of about 561,000, were captured during the period of the continuous voters registration, CVR exercise, from April 2017, to date.
The figure includes new registrations, transfers and replacements of voters' cards.
He also highlighted the figures for the period of extension, from august 1st, to august 29th.
Magaji says, during the period of extension, Maiduguri metropolitan council area appeared to have recorded the highest figure of over 15,000 registrants.
Dikwa is the least, with only 465.
He announced that the collection of PVCS will continue, till 2days, to the 2019 general elections.
Most Nigerians are desirous to see that the 2019 general elections are rancour-free, and stand out as the best ever, in the history of the country.

Man accused of attacking Rand Paul charged with felony assault in plea agreement
The man accused of attacking U.S. Sen. Rand Paul in November is now facing federal charges, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana.
Rene A. Boucher, 58, of Bowling Green is charged with one count of "assaulting a member of Congress resulting in personal injury," which is a federal felony, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
Boucher has signed a plea agreement in the case, but as of the announcement of the charges on Friday no court date for a guilty plea had been set.
Paul and Boucher are neighbors in Bowling Green. On Nov. 3, 2017, Boucher reportedly saw Paul stack brush onto a pile near his property and "had enough," according to Friday's announcement from the U.S. Attorney's office.
Boucher is accused of running toward Paul and tackling him. Paul said he suffered multiple broken ribs and had fluid on his lungs as a result of the assault. Paul also had to be treated for pneumonia he contracted as a result of the injuries, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Boucher's attorney, Matthew Baker, reiterated Friday night that the dispute was over a matter "most people would regard as trivial." He said it was related to Boucher's and Paul's yards and maintenance.
"Dr. Boucher is very meticulous about that. Sen. Paul takes a different approach," Baker said. "It just became … a point of frustration that boiled over."
The dispute did not involve politics, both Baker and the U.S. Attorney's Office said Friday.
Boucher regrets what happened "more every day," Baker said.
Paul told "Face the Nation's" John Dickerson earlier this month that the first four or five weeks after the assault were "a living hell" and that he wasn't able to get out of bed without assistance during that time.
Baker said he anticipates the state assault charge against Boucher will be dismissed.
The federal case is being handled by the Louisville FBI office.
Boucher could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, according to the Assistant U.S. Attorney Bradley P. Shepard.
Baker said Friday that he will argue against incarceration in Boucher's case.

I was late because I had been watching the webcasts as well as making zuchini muffins and I was of course sleep deprived - the night before being officially the worst Night Of Living Hell ever (Toddler screaming starts at 3am, Parents' screaming starts at 4.30 am. All fall into exhausted sleep at 5am).
We had talked a little about the sort of play it could be, this actress and I, and she told me that when she looked at new scripts she looked for stories of hope.
There is too much darkness in this world, she told me. Too much anger, too much hate.
Yesterday, I felt like the whole world was reading the same script and hoping for the same light.

The Shocking Truth They Don't Tell You About CoQ10
CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a vital role in increasing your energy, mental clarity and significantly improving heart health.
The benefits of taking CoQ10 are widely documented and this is why it's one of the most popular supplements available.
What many people don't realise however is that CoQ10 supplements are poorly absorbed. This happens during the company's manufacturing process. Many companies want you to believe their marketing hype rather than actually experience the noticeable benefits.
CoQ10's Amazing Health Benefits
CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has been studied around the world and is confirmed as safe and well tolerated by the human body. No toxicity is apparent – even at high levels it has virtually no side effects. There are also no contraindications when used with other medications or supplements and it does not cause stomach upsets either.
Its health benefits include…
- Support for good brain health and mental clarity
- Energising the heart, keeping it pumping strong
- Fighting off harmful free radicals in the body
- Increasing cellular energy and combating fatigue
- Keeping eyes healthy
- Promoting optimal skin health
- Keeping gums healthy
What Some Supplement Companies Don't Want You To Know…
Statins are known to severely deplete the body's natural levels of CoQ10. A Columbia University study found that within 30 days, CoQ10 levels can be decreased by around half. However statins aren't the only to blame – many other pharmaceutical drugs can have such an effect in robbing the body of this energy giving enzyme.
Taking CoQ10 can boost energy levels, improve heart health and slow the signs of aging. News about its health benefits have been published everywhere.
The trouble is that many supplement companies use this as evidence to trick consumers into believing that all CoQ10 is the same. Unfortunately, what they may not readily admit is that most of the major benefits have been conducted with natural CoQ10 – and most supplement companies use the synthetic kind.
This is one secret they won't tell you. The other is that the synthetic CoQ10 is synthesized from tobacco leaves as its primary source. There is also no known data proving its effectiveness or safety. What may be even more surprising is that natural CoQ10 is usually no more expensive than the synthetic kind. The discount brands found in drug stores for example, simply use the synthetic kind as a cost-cutting measure.
Ubiquinol – The Most Effective and Highly Absorbed Form of CoQ10
Ubiquinol is a CoEnzyme Q10 that is up to 8 times better absorbed compared to ordinary CoQ10. This means that
unlike other supplement forms of this enzyme, it is 8x more powerful in the body…
- UB8Q10 Provides You Up To 8 X More Energy
- 8 X More Absorption
- 8 X More Benefits!
Ubiquinone CoQ10 is similar to the Ubiquinol, which a slightly lower absorption rate - however it is still very popular.
Each sachet of Revive Active Health Supplement contains 150mg of Ubiquinone CoQ10, while each Revive Active CoQ10 Capsule contains 100mg of Ubiquinol CoQ10 - enabling easy absorption and bio-activity.

Makeup Tips: Highlighting and Contouring Made Easy
Ever wondered how Kim K's face looks so chiselled? How she gets those fab cheekbones? If you look back at pictures of Kim from 5 years ago, she looks like a totally different person to now – but why? Contouring. It can completely change your features!
You might be wondering what all the contouring hype is about.
What is contouring? Why should we bother? Well, we're here to tell you that even if you've never heard of contouring, it could quite literally change your life (and your face).
It involves using blusher, bronzer, highlighter and concealer to highlight the parts of your face that you want to show off, to minimize the parts that you don't like, to create hollows and shadows where there aren't any and to work your angles, whether you have a round face or a chiselled jawbone. Learn everything you need to know about contouring with this guide.
Step 1: Start with your cheekbones
Apply bronzer in a light sweeping motion just below your cheekbone. Aim your line toward your mouth, but stop before you get there. If you want to create a more youthful appearance, you may want to create more of a curve shape than a stripe.
Step 2: Contour your hairline
Apply bronzer along your hairline from temple to temple in small circular motions. This helps start to shape your face and can create the appearance of a lower hairline for anyone with a forehead they want to minimize.
Step 3: Contour below your jawline
Continue to bronze lightly just below your jawline on both sides. A little goes a long way. All you're doing is continuing to bring out your features and if you have a fuller face, this will begin to add more definition. However, this is one place you should be extra, super-duper careful about applying too much. It could result in a bearded appearance.
Step 4: Now, about your nose
You'll add a touch of highlighter later. For now, use a small brush to lightly bronze the sides of your nose. Make sure to follow the natural curvature of your nose. If your nose flares out at the bottom, make sure your contour lines do too for the most natural look. The goal here is to create a light shadow for a narrowed look.
Step 5: Switch to highlighter and start with your cheekbones
Now, apply highlighter along the tops of your cheekbones. This mixture of darkening (from step one) and highlighting creates the appearance of higher cheekbones.
If you have a small forehead or a low hairline, skip any contouring on your forehead. You could add a bit of highlighter in the middle of your forehead, but avoid anything shimmery so your skin doesn't appear oily.
Step 6: Highlight your nose (optional)
Read closely because not everyone needs to do this. If you want to accentuate a smaller nose, apply highlighter in an up-and-down motion along the bridge of your nose. If you want to give your nose a more upturned appearance, only apply highlighter to the tip of your nose. If you don't want to do either of these things, skip this step.
VIDEO: Patrick Starr Glams Up Kim Kardashian West
Step 7: Last but not least
Finish the job by highlighting above your brow arches for more lift and in a thin line above your Cupid's bow to create more definition. If you have a weak chin (not very defined), you can also apply some highlighter there as well. This will help bring it forward.


text: We live in a day and age where everywhere we look people use the misfortunes of others as an escape for their own. Whether this be through reality TV or simply being happy when others fail. It is important to be genuinely happy for others when they are doing well and don't take the pain of others as a stepping stone for you to feel better about your own situation. Don't be a blessing or manifestation blocker for yourself by having negative thoughts about the next guy or gal. That's an awful way to use your energy. Instead focus on implementing on how to deal with your own issues in a solution oriented way.💜💜💜

Last night I watched my Caps play in Annapolis against the Maple Leafs. The opening was awesome with the medal winners in curling showing us there winning moves. The Caps started out strong and continued throughout the game. So it was Winner, Winner!Chicken, Chicken Dinner! All Night!
Like I said I would have gone but the weather kept me home mostly because I don't like cold even though I work all the Caps game & it is cold in the arena. I can only take one cold arena a season. Then there was the wind that was whipping & knocking so yeah I chose the warmth of my home.
Maybe one season I will attend an outdoor game.

Ahead of the recently announced IMAX teaser trailer event this Monday, the highly anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer has now leaked online in its entirety. A cam quality trailer filmed in what appears to be a Latin American theater, offers some interesting imagery and shows both iconic superheros in full costume as well as some shots of the Batmobile and Batplane in action.
My guess is Warner Bros. will release the trailer in the next few hours to days as they have now lost the element of surprise…this event on Monday better offer a lot more than the footage shown at San Diego Comic Con last July and this trailer because their effort is very lackluster so far.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will open in theaters on March 25, 2016

When I taught photography for Henry's School of Imaging (which I recommend now that they've had made some organizational changes) we used to teaching everything about photography but the courses were aimed at beginners.
Today emerging pros or advanced amateurs may have a difficult time finding a decent one-day photography course on advanced subjects.
Here in southern Ontario I highly recommend my friend Michael Willems whose Speedlighter.ca site is a must read. Michael also teaches at Henry's and he runs his own advanced courses.
I took a workshop with David Tejada when he came to Buffalo, New York, last year. Highly recommended. (That's one of my shots from David's workshop.)
But what if you can't get away or you don't have the cash for a workshop? I can highly recommend Friday Photo School run by Will Crockett.
I like Will. He grows on you 🙂 But best of all, he knows his stuff and he knows how to teach it. And even better, his teaching is simple enough for beginners to follow (especially if they have a basic understanding of how their camera works) but advanced enough for emerging pros to learn from Will.
I especially liked the free workshop at his site about flash and another on the difference between JPGs and RAW files (I learned something new about JPGs watching Will. If you shoot in JPG mode and get say a 9 meg file and open it up in RAW the file will open up to 30 megs in size. Okay how about if you shoot RAW first and then process it and make a JPG. Guess what? It produces a 9 meg JPG file.
But is there a quality difference between the two files? You got to watch Will at Friday Photo School to find out :). The answer may surprise you

Kasper König announces Manifesta 10 artists
Amid concerns over the politics of Russia
Kasper König has announced the artists he is featuring in Manifesta 10, which will be held in St Petersburg this summer. The list includes super established names like Henri Matisse, Joseph Beuys, Cindy Sherman, Louise Bourgeois and Bruce Nauman, mixing them with midcareer artists.
There have been calls for a boycott of the event in protest against the Russian government's attitude to gay rights, as well as the situation in the Ukraine. In response to a statement by König that he did not want the exhibition to be purely about sabre-rattling political statements, Russian collective Chto Delat announced earlier this month that they would be withdrawing from the show. In the group's statement, Chto Delat expressed disappointment at Manifesta's failure to react directly to the political crisis engulfing Russia. 'Our aim at least should be to turn every cultural project into a manifestation of dissent against the Russian government's policy of violence, repressions, and lies,' the statement read. 'Even if you are staging Shakespeare or exhibiting Matisse, the task of culture today is to find the artistic language to bring home that simple message.'
Nonetheless, König's artist choice could still cause him headaches with the Russian authorities – a number on the list have made work with overt references of homosexuality in the past, including Wolfgang Tilmans and Henrik Olesen, and may choose to do so again. Manifesta will spread beyond the confines of its main venue, The Hermitage, with public commissions by Pawel Althamer, Ragnar Kjartansson (whose commission will be situated in a major train station) and Mierle Laderman Ukeles.
Manifesta 10 will take place from 28 June to 31 October 2014 with the following artists contributing:
Pawel Althamer
Francis Alÿs
Guy Ben-Ner
Joseph Beuys
Karla Black
Louise Bourgeois

If you or your child plays sports, Dr. Damon T. Armstrong may recommend a mouth guard in Blackfoot, Idaho. Your mouth guard will protect your teeth, lips, tongue, face, and jaw from injury during sports. Our dentist may recommend a mouth guard if you or your child play any of the following sports:
- Football
- Boxing
- Hockey
- Wrestling
- Rugby
- Lacrosse
There are three types of mouth guards. Stock mouth protectors are preformed. They can be bought at sporting goods stores and department stores. Our dentist does not recommend stock mouth protectors, as their fit cannot be adjusted, they are bulky, they make breathing and speaking difficult, and they do not provide much protection. Boil and bite mouth guards can also be found at sporting goods stores. The boil and bite mouth guard is made of a material that softens when it is placed in hot water. Once the material is softened, place the mouth guard in your mouth and shape it using your fingers and tongue. At our office, we offer custom-fitted mouth guards. These provide the best fit, comfort, and protection. Our dentist will take an impression of your teeth and mold the mouth guard material over it.
We invite you to contact Armstrong Dental today to learn more and to schedule your next visit.

Former model follows spiritual path at YaleAfter stepping off the runway and converting
to Islam, Dawood Yasin becomes chaplain, TA and local imam
At age 26, Dawood Yasin was almost
killed. Three times.Back then, his name was not Dawood. He was not yet a teaching assistant in Yale's Arabic
Department, the imam of the Masjid Al-Islam mosque on George Street in New Haven, or the chaplain of the Muslim Student's Association of Yale.Instead, he
was a nation-hopping male model, a man whose face and body splashed Paris
billboards and Vogue fashion spreads. His name was David and he was Roman Catholic.But three near-death experiences
in the span of six months changed all that In 1996 he was living in South
Africa modeling in photo shoots. One night, he said, he got into a heated discussion with
some South Africans vocalizing their unhappiness with the end of apartheid. Threats were issued. Tensions boiled. Then the
aggressors pulled out weapons.Luckily, a member of the group talked them out of a fight. But just a few weeks later,
something else happened. Yasin was driving from Capetown to Johannesburg.
At one point the fog thickened dangerously. The car behind him began to pass him and, at the same time, a truck approached
from ahead. His own car narrowly avoided the horrific crash that followed.Not long after, he witnessed another crash
-- one he might have been in had he arrived at the scene 30 seconds earlier.Many 26-year-olds may have brushed off
the three incidences as merely unsettling. Not Yasin."Thinking that you could check out at any
time made me think about spirituality," he said, sitting in Au Bon Pain Oct. 27, a dark beard covering his once-famous face.Because
his cousin had converted to Islam two decades before and become a better person for it, he said, the religion was already
in the back of his mind. So when his brushes with death made him reconsider spirituality, he had no qualms about taking a
look at the Koran."It worked for me," he said. "I find there to be justice. In the prophetic tradition,
there's no preference of the Arab over the non-Arab, white over black, black over white."But not everybody
sees that side of Islam. Twice since Sept. 11, 2001, Yasin and his wife, dressed in traditional Islamic garb, have been almost
run off the road, he said. Once, the driver shouted at them to "go back to your country.""And
my mother, my grandmother, they were born in America,"
he said, shaking his head.Rather than let such ignorance get him down, though, Yasin said he focuses on raising
understanding of Islam. His Arabic students said he was always very open about his life and religion. They could ask him delicate
questions -- what the Koran says about homosexuality, for example -- and get a straightforward answer.And because
Yasin is American, students seem more receptive to what he has to say, said Bassam Frangieh, a professor in the Near Eastern
Languages and Civilizations Department."The students identify with him," Frangieh said. "He has
a very, very beautiful relationship with them." Yasin has even welcomed his class into his mosque. Last year,
40 Arabic students took a class trip to George Street
during the month of Ramadan. They covered themselves appropriately, the women in head scarves. As they walked, they stopped
traffic, Frangieh said.After attending services, which included a sermon by Yasin, the students ate a traditional
dinner in his home.Teaching about Islam and the Koranic tradition is important, Frangieh said. After all, one requirement
of the Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations major is "Arabic and Islamic Studies."Despite such glowing reports
from students and colleagues, Yasin was not always so focused on Yale. When he came back to America after studying Arabic for five years, teaching at Yale was not the job
he had in mind, he said.Hardly the typical teaching assistant, Yasin does not even hold a college degree. He briefly
attended Southern Connecticut State University, but he was discovered by a Wilhelmina Models agent during one summer break
in Nantucket. At 19, his life turned into a whirlwind of runways in Milan
and Paris, photo shoots with Christy Turlington and Brooke
Shields."It's like, 'Wow, do I shoot a Levi's campaign and make a lot of money, or do I go back to school and get
a degree?'" he said, chuckling. "You think about it for about three breaths." And although he studied at a religious
seminary in Damascus for five years after "embracing Islam,"
the events of Sept. 11, 2001 interrupted his education. In America at the
time of the terrorist attacks, Yasin and his then-pregnant wife decided not to return to Syria.A friend at the Yale
Divinity School told him there
was an opening in the Arabic department. At the time, Yasin said, he laughed off the suggestion, intimidated by the idea of
teaching Yale students in a language that was not his native tongue. But when a few weeks went by and the position remained
open, he decided to apply.Rather than a one-on-one interview, Yasin presented himself to one of Frangieh's Arabic
classes. They loved him. Yasin was hired.This year, though, Yasin is on leave. Recently appointed as imam of Masjid
Al-Islam, Yasin said he is now too busy to teach classes. As religious leader of the 300 people in the congregation, he has
more responsibilities than he had even expected."I'm dealing with everything from the jurisprudence of someone's marriage,
to someone asking you on the end-of-life decisions for their two-year-old child," he said.And he has taken on a new
project, as well -- managing a fashion company geared toward traditional Muslim dress. The former model described the clothing
line as modest, but sophisticated and practical.Running a clothing company is only the latest phase in his life. From
modeling, to studying, to being a TA, he said each experience has made him who he is today.But if his now-2-year-old
daughter were to grow up and tell him she wanted to strut down the runways in Milan,
Yasin knows exactly what he would say:"I'd say, Tell me when you want to go and we'll go together."
Asalamu Alaikum wrwb,
Alhamdulillah I know this Imam. During ramadan
he along with several brothers from the New Haven masjid, Norwalk, Bridgdeport masjids came to our masjid in Stamford
Connecticut for a over night for Itikahf. He delivered a khutbah and led fajr prayer the next morning. I highly
respect this Imam and he is highly spoken of by my Imam as well. I never knew his background and histrory before
reading this article. May Allah grant him the highest reward for all his efforts.

Our administration staff are not full-time, but whether it be in the office or at our events, you are likely to find
them everywhere.
Director: Rebecca Ryan BA (Communication)
Rebecca is passionate about her local community and has demonstrated this through a 15-year plus involvement in community cultural development.
Rebecca completed a Bachelor Arts Communication at Charles Sturt University Bathurst and came to Gunnedah in 1998 as a journalist working for the award-winning Namoi Valley Independent. After five years Rebecca moved into Public Relations working for leading agency Sefton & Associates in its Gunnedah and Tamworth office. During this time Rebecca worked for national clients including Meat and Livestock Australia, Australian Wool Innovation, Animal Health Australia, Plant Health Australia, Telstra and Westpac. The campaign she delivered for Plant Health Australia was awarded a Golden Target Public Relations Institute Award.
Rebecca's passion has always been community arts and she was a key volunteer member of the Two Rivers Arts Council in Gunnedah during the late 1990s and early 2000s producing and directing community theatre and working on Gunnedah's annual Two Rivers Arts Festival. She is currently Vice-President of Arts North West (the regional arts board). In 2009 Rebecca was the coordiantor of the Two Rivers Arts Council's Circus Programs and first became involved in the Conservatorium as a committee member.
Rebecca commenced work with the Gunnedah Conservatorium in January 2010 following the organisation's acceptance into the NSW Department of Education's Regional Conservatorium Grant Program. Rebecca oversaw the Conservatorium's successful application for triennial funding and has steered the organisation through a period of huge growth with the organisation's level of activity more than doubling though increased individual tuitiona as well as school and community programs and an annual concert series.
While not a musician Rebecca has a love of music which was fostered through her experiences at primary and high school. She shares that love and passion at the Conservatorium daily.
Gunnedah Conservatorium employs qualified tutors who strive to provide their students with the best experience when learning an instrument.
Tutors undertake regular professional development in their field of interest and other music developments.
Our tutors are:
Julia Rennick, BA (ECE, Macquarie), GDipH (Music, UNE), Cert IV TAA, ANCOS (Level 2) Orff Schulwerk.
Julia is passionate about music education and has developed, refined and delivered the early childhood music program for 20 years at the Gunnedah Conservatorium. Julia strives to remain at the cutting edge of this exciting field and is constantly challenging herself and broadening her own skill base by attending courses in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne; and runs professional development workshops to early childhgood and primary teachers. She has classes for children between birth and 8 years of age at the Con as well as delivering lessons into preschool and early childhood centres.
For the last 2 years she has been a music mentor with the NMTMP NSW, which is the NSW Public Schools branch of the National Music Teacher Mentoring Program, established by Richard Gill AO in 2015. It is a program that provides NSW public school teachers with mentoring to support music teaching and learning, with a focus on Stage 1.
During the January School holidays Julia attended the Bridge Conference at the Shore School, Sydney, where the Orff Schulwerk approach to creative music and movement education gave her the opportunity to further enhance her knowledge and skills through active participation in moving, singing, playing, improvising, and composing music. Keynote presenters were, Soili Perkio, Finland, Sibelius Academy, Helsinki, Polo Vallejo, Spain, Doctor of Musical Science, composer et al, Michelle Ellis, Head of Primary music at the International Grammar School.
Julia is keen to improve the education of both dance and music by ensuring that people (teachers) already invested in local communities have the best skills and resources at their disposal. Ultimately, this ensures developmental benefits for children not only in music and dance but in other areas of their learning too. Her philosophy is simple – always give 100% and attempt everything with joy and enthusiasm.
Joel Pickett
Joel has been conducting individual lessons since 2008. He teaches a range of contemporary guitar styles including: rock, pop, alternative, indie and country. For the younger primary-aged students, Joel begins teaching with the basic fundamentals of music including reading music, developing rhythmic playing and focusing on left + right hand technique. Joel encourages those who want to perform into entering various performance opportunities, such as the Gunnedah Eisteddfod, extra-curricular school activities and Conservatorium performance occasions.
Joel has significant experience working with music technology and software. He is particularly interested in notation software (including Guitar Pro, MuseScore and Sibelius), transcription and looping. Transcription and notation software are used to notate and arrange parts for students. Students will often come into the lesson with a cover off YouTube of a popular song. Sheet music on the internet for this style is commonly inaccurate and oftentimes incomplete. Joel will commonly arrange these pieces for students with their skill level in mind.
Joel routinely uses guitar looping pedals in the studio that enhance the student's learning through practise, recording techniques, improvisation and phrasing. Advancing students are encouraged to purchase a looper to aid practise, composition and improvisation at home. In effect, the looper becomes the "rhythm guitarist" for the student, providing rhythmic and harmonic content for the student to practise with.
In school situations, Joel has taught guitar in one-on-one and group ensembles settings. These students generally start from Year 3 and up. Various students have performed at extra-curricular occasions including talent quests, performance showcases and end-of-year functions.
For those who wish to, Joel is able to focus on and prepare them for AMEB CPM exams. Teaching areas: Guitar (electric and acoustic) and Bass

Well-schooled Fish and Feathered Bandits
The Wondrous Way Animals Learn From AnimalsBook - 2006
Enter an amazing world where animals learn what to eat and how to communicate.
We don't usually think of animals learning from one another the way people do. But now scientists are beginning to wonder if animals are better students than we realize.
Well-Schooled Fish and Feathered Bandits offers stunning examples of animals teaching animals around the world. In England, chickadee-like blue tits learn to peck off the foil caps of milk bottles for a tasty meal. In Japan, macaque monkeys teach their young to wash sand-covered sweet potatoes in the sea. Meanwhile, crows in the South Pacific have invented an ingenious scoop cut from leaves. In each case, such amazing behavior is not shared by the same species in other places proof that these clever creatures pass their skills to younger generations in their own communities.
Through dramatic color photos of the featured animal species, and more surprising examples of creative critters, author Peter Christie presents a delightfully fun and tantalizing look at how animals learn.
