I too think it is just so much a loving portrait.
But mentioning the "beautifull efv" I have to Wonder why - the eyes given you is still far ahead any electronicly eye that have ever been made and probably will for a long time. Sometimes nature can't be substituted - well, my opinion.
And the D7100 is filled up with new tech - still it is not the new tech being the photographer - it's you.
Good luck with your new choise - you certainly is well started.

Jim Brunner does an adroit job in today's Times of zeroing in on the contentious tone of last night's Liquor Control Board hearing on the city's proposed Alcohol Impact Area (AIA) expansion. In short, a procession of foreign-born convenience store owners offered testimony that consistently painted the proposed cheap beer ban as, intentionally or otherwise, racist and classist. They're hard-working immigrants who are making an honest go of it, and cheap beer is all their similarly hard-working customers can afford. I also owe Brunner a forty of Olde English for not reporting that I walked face first into an automated glass door, proving once again that closing down the Rickshaw on a Wednesday night leaves one less than razor sharp the day after.
What Brunner didn't elaborate on is that the jury of three LCB members actually fired something other than softballs at city staffers Jordan Royer and Scott Minnix. Board member Roger Hoen wondered why the city would establish boundaries in Wallingford that exempted stores selling high-octane brew right across the street (equal protection, anyone?), to which Royer replied that the city worked to identify boundaries in concert with neighborhood captains.
And upon hearing once again that the city's AIAs have failed to date, LCB member Vera Ing remarked: "It seems to me that when you have voluntary compliance, there would be a slight decrease instead of an increase in problems." To which Minnix replied: "Compliance was so small that it didn't make a difference." Compliance (i.e., store owners who agreed to not sell the city's list of 34 cheap brands of beer), per the city, stands at 30 percent. As to whether or not that's a statistically insignificant participation rate, I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

A relaxing day for a teenager ended in tragedy Saturday night at Panama City Beach.
The 18-year-old Hispanic teen drowned while swimming with two companions in the Gulf behind the Boardwalk Beach Resort on Thomas Drive.
An eyewitness says several of the teenagers got into trouble around 4:30 Saturday afternoon while swimming past the first sand bar. Two of them were rescued and brought to shore.
Rosemary Cantelli was one of those who tried to help. She says they tried to rescue him, but couldn't find him after he went under. They searched for several hours.
His body finally washed up some four hours later. Panama City Beach Police say the victim was an 18-year-old Hispanic male from Mexico with ties to Pensacola.
His identity was not immediately made public.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death.

Oklahoma's one of the best states for recent grads since the recession, according to Forbes
Though CNBC recently found Oklahoma to be one of the country's very worst states to live in, it seems that the Sooner state has at least one thing going for it: a favorable economy for recent college graduates.
In a study recently published by Forbes, contributor Ben Taylor found that comparing tuition costs of four-year public institutions with income and unemployment figures resulted in a number-two ranking for Oklahoma, sandwiching it between fellow oil-rich states Wyoming and North Dakota.
Editor's note: This story has been updated with a statement from Chancellor Glen Johnson of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, which follows:
"Oklahoma higher education is pleased that our state is ranked second in the nation by Forbes for low tuition, rising personal income and low unemployment. As acknowledged in the report, our state system of higher education has kept tuition affordable for students, and students who learn here, earn here; Oklahoma Employment Security Commission data show that 87 percent of residents who graduate with a bachelor's degree remain in Oklahoma and are employed in the state one year after graduation. Through our college degree completion initiative, Complete College America, we provide the citizens in our state additional opportunities to earn a college degree.
"Our colleges and universities drive the state's economic advancement agenda. Oklahoma's higher education system generates more than $9.2 billion in economic impacts in the state and directly supports more than 85,000 jobs. For every dollar of state appropriations invested in higher education, $4.72 is returned to Oklahoma's economy. This report further solidifies the fact that higher education is the best investment that Oklahoma can make for a vibrant economic future."

Shambala Festival 2015
Jul 14th
We're back and in ACTION.
This summer we're focusing all our efforst on ONE festival. The awesome, the lucky, the super GREEN Shambala Festival.
Below is your invitation to become an Eco-Ranger. Don't hesitate, we only have about FIVE spaces remaining.
Upcycle Eco-Ranger Invitation
Dear Eco-Ranger,
I trust you've had a good year. I'm excited to share with you that Upcycle have been invited to participate in Shambala 2015 for the fourth year in a row. This is an invitation to apply to be part of the team.
I'm only inviting people this year. No public promotion. This is not for everybody and it's important our team is of the highest quality and understands what will be asked of them.
If you want to take part you need to complete the application form at the link below. If that is successful we'll schedule a short skype call and then your place will be confirmed.
This year our remit as Eco-Rangers will involve a focus on INTERACTION and BEHAVIOUR CHANGE.
We will do this by:
Welcoming EVERY festival goer as they enter the site informing them of the recycling services on site. Handing out bin bags and communicating our message
Circulate the campsite targeting messy camps and engaging with them to change their behaviour. This can be TOUGH but its our job and we're good at it.
Singing songs (Captain Planet Theme tune, There's No Such Thing as Waste etc) in our Musical Recycled procession around the campsite
Awarding medals for 'Captain Planets' as part of a festival wide behaviour change initiative
Being part of the Green Wave on Monday morning into the campsite to ensure everybody is packed away as cleanly as possible.
Hosing the Cup Amnesty as punters are leaving collecting in the reusable cups.
You will be asked to work three six hour shifts over the weekend and you will be given one meal ticket per shift that you work.
You need to be available from Thursday 27th August for a team meeting at 9:00 (means arriving Wednesday night) until Monday 31st August at 16:00.You will be asked to put down a deposit of £150 that will be returned on successful completion of your shifts.
Please only apply if you can make the dates and times stated above.
Eco-Rangers. Shambala needs up. You are the heart and soul of Upcycle.
Lets do this.
Much Love,
Chris x

Recruitment for Summer 2014 – Now Open!
May 23rd
Spring Greetings to all you wonderful Eco-Rangers out there.
Its here. The Recruitment for Eco-Rangers in 2014 is finally here.
This year we've updated ourselves and are using a super snazzy online application form. Please follow this link or click on Captain Planet below.
We are lined up for pumping summer at the following three fantastic festivals:
Cock and Bull (13h Thur 24 July – 18h Tues 29 July)
Off-Grid (13h Thur 7 Aug – 18h Tues 12 Aug)
and Shambala (13h Wed 20 Aug – 18h Mon 25 Aug)
So, it's over to you. Please get your application in within one week. We'll respond to all applications personally but we only have limited places available for each event.
We're also looking for any Eco-Ranger interested in coming to Shambala to also be keen to volunteer at one of our other festivals. If you make this clear on your application form you will have a much greater chance at being part of the team.
Great! Good luck and see you in the fields soon.
Captain Planet
Mar 11th
Dearest Eco-Rangers,
I trust this finds you well. Is anybody else feeling like this .. "Yes Yes Yes!! – Spring is on its way! Wahooo!"
Believe it or not its time to start looking towards the summer. Upcycle is going to be at three festivals this coming season.
Cock and Bull Festival on the 25 – 27 July.
Sunrise Off-Grid … visit their site here.
Shambala Festival! Yippeee!
To really make Upcycle take off this year we're looking for one of you to take on the role of … Captain Planet, The Pink Eco-Ranger, La Estrela de Manha, Shakti or Shiva.
Starting now with the recruitment process and continuing to the end of the summer and beyond I am welcoming one of you into the Upcycle team.
It'll be a hugely exciting role that'll require skill, perseverance, patience and presence. The plan is that we find one Mega-Capitano Eco-Ranger Super-Delux who can lead the team at all three festivals. Amongst other things you will be responsible for:
- sourcing and managing a team of about 16 volunteers
- creating a schedule of work over the festival weekend
- keeping your team on-task, motivated and happy
- creating an inspirational and engaging environment around the Upcycle Free Shop
- telling the story of Upcycle's work through writing blog posts, news paper articles etc etc
You'll receive guidance and support at all levels. I will personally work with you to coach you through the whole process from beginning to end. Taking this opportunity could be one of the best investments you've ever made in yourself.
You will learn:
- excellent communication skills
- tools for remaining enthusiastic and empowered
- a personalised yoga and meditation practice to see you through the summer
- the ins and out of the running of a small, eco-logically minded social enterprise
- how to facilitate, hold a space, share openly and allow others to do the same
- a whole host of upcycling techniques and ideas
As you'll be receiving coaching from me there will also be plenty of time for your to explore your personal strengths, your joys and values, your drives and motivations. We'll work together ensuring that you are in a position to implement these skills as best you can throughout the summer.
I'm looking for somebody who:
- has good experience working at festivals and who is confident in their ability to see the work through to its completion
- knows how to lead a team and has experience in this area
- has a hacker mentality, is prepared to improvise, take decisions and motivate others
- is passionate about reducing land-fill and encouraging others to do the same
- has some experience in writing articles, telling stories or keeping a blog.
If you think this is for you then please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll let you know about the application and interview procedure. Please also share the opportunity with anybody you think will be up to it.
Much love to you all,
Chris x
The Toolbox, United Diversity and The Great Turning.
Feb 2nd
The Toolbox and United Diversity – Taking part in the Great Turning.
United Diversity is a recently re-formed cooperative based in the UK. It's the outcome of a great story of blood, sweat, tears, perseverance, enthusiasm, vision and passion.
The cooperative's prospective members include a performing arts festival called Cloud Cuckoo Land, Permanent Cultures, a Permaculture based teaching collective, Upcycle, offering festival waste recycling solutions and Brake the Cycle which has the catchy strap line "Free wheeling to alternative ways of living through adventure." For a full list of projects and their websites please go here.
In their own way all these parts of United Diversity are contributing to The Great Turning. This is a story of our time beautifully explained in Chris Johnstone's book Active Hope.
In the story of the Great Turning,
what's catching on is commitment to act for the sake of life on Earth
as well as the vision, courage, and solidarity to do so. -
Active Hope, p. 27
It's a story that fills us all with power, positivity and presence. But story I do not mean a work of fiction, but rather a way of making sense of what is going on in the world around us.
Involving the emergence of new and creative human responses,
it is about the epochal transition from
an industrial society committed to economic growth to a life-sustaining society
committed to the healing and recovery of our world.
We call this story the Great Turning.
- Active Hope, p.5
In Active Hope Chris goes on to explain that there are two other stories unfolding at the same time. One is that of 'Business as Usual' and the other is 'The Great Unravelling'. These stories are also ways of making sense of the world. Their titles give away the central plot. The important thing is that…
…there is no point in arguing about which of these stories is "right."
All three are happening.
The question is which one we want to put our energy behind.
- Active Hope, p.5
The Toolbox (www.thetoolbox.coop) has been created to spread and share the story of the Great Turning through coaching and workshops. The Toolbox is a peer to peer coaching and workshop experience designed to serve people like yourself. People who are already taking part in the Great Turning in their own way. People who, I think, are brave, inspirational and I would like to work with.
Regular coaching conversations and the occasional workshop offer participants a professional, dynamic a resilient coaching relationship. Coaching helps you find clarity, and motivation, direction, enthusiasm and insight.
Coaching is an immensely powerful tool. It has changed my life profoundly. It has become something of a sacred space for me in which I can open, share, be vulnerable and truthful. A key element through a strong transformational period in my life.
As Deepa Awal explains, coaching creates space for internal shifts, changing perspectives and expanded world views. These conversations can 'change us in a fundamental way, open up new possibilities, generate insight, shift a long-held emotion, change a belief, and, above all, connect us to something bigger than our individual selves.' (http://www.newfieldnetwork.com)
There are a few coaching places with The Toolbox this February. Please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information regarding this opportunity and to arrange an initial free conversation.
Shambala Music Video
Nov 24th
Yeah Yeah!
Greetings to you all. I hope everybody is happy and well. Do you actually receive these e-mails? I'm not just sending them out into the ether…
If possible please respond.
Give me some news, where are you? What are you doing? What would be your dream come true?
Anywho… We've done it!! Yippeeeee!!!!! Its been a while coming but the Official 2013 Upcycle Shambala Music Video is here:
Its been an adventure to get this video ready but it was well worth it. We're really happy with the outcome and would appreciate it if you can spread and share far and wide.
A MASSIVE thank you to Maxi who directed and edited the video. And also to Craig and Oli who did the music and have made it sound so wonderful.
Also huge appreciation goes out to FORMIDABLE VEGETABLE SOUND SYSTEM for letting us use their song.
Sweet. Thats it for now. Enjoy the video and spread it as you can over the t'internet.
Much Love
Mega Update
Oct 9th
Allrighty!? Greetings huge fan base.
We hope you've had an excellent summer. What did you get up to? What are the lasting memories? What did you learn and who did you fall in love with?
Here are some highs and lows from Upcycle over the summer of 2013 and a brief look toward to the winter and onto the summer 2014.
The Campsite Clean-Up Carnival that we hosted at Shambala. Bumping into masshy-feeling drug munchers on Monday morning and singing songs with our Ukulele and recycled band to encourage them to pick up their waste!
Sorting through the rubbish at Cock and Bull accompanied by Flo the Goat with her uncanny ability to pinpoint and consume the organic material.
Taking part in the final fine pick at Cloud Cuckoo Land – a highly enjoyable experience recognising the quality of the work we had achieved and the impact we had had on the farm to keep it so spotless.
Getting caught in the rain in Mud-Alley at Cock and Bull festival and having soaking feet while slipping around in the mud carrying hugs sacks of smelly rubbish.
Not having sufficient volunteers at Smugglers Festival so Mira had to work incredibly hard, mostly by herself and one or two others.
Leaving Shambala knowing it'll be another year until a festival of that quality occurs again.
Winter 2013 (October 2013 – March 2014)
Exciting plans are looming. We are looking to consolidate the progress made over the years with Upcycle. We've developed an awesome system of waste management ensuring the highest possible composting, reuse or recycling rates (above 80% by volume at Cloud Cuckoo Land this year) combined with the optimal festival going experience for our volunteers.
This needs to continue. We will be seeking our UK's most conscientious, small (below 1000) and ecologically minded festivals with the aim of providing them with our services.
Together with MoreBins we want to develop the equipment we've used and create signage that is informative and engaging.
We will continue to develop and research into ideas and solutions for ecologically and conscientious festivals and events.
We are currently looking to recruit for the following voluntary positions over the winter:
Festival Researcher
Creative Director
PR and Funding Champion
If you're interested then send me an e-mail (chris(at)up-cycle.org.uk) and I can send you over more info. These will be voluntary posts unless you can find funding yourself.
And for the Summer of 2014.
We are already excited about the next Cloud Cuckoo Land – set to form a new precedent for small festival culture world wide. And also the possibility of working at Shambala 2014 is getting us jumping around the bedrooms and bin bags.
We will earn more money to ensure our work can continue while being transparent with all you about how this money is spent.
We will take on more small festivals and encourage this culture to thrive in the harmonious and creative direction we are all hoping for.
We are also looking to recruit for various positions this coming summer. These will involve a 'Festival Manager' role who will be the Eco-Ranger in charge on site at each event. We also need volunteers to step up to a 'Shift Supervisor' role so that we can ensure the quality of work and experience is not diminished.
Fantastic, that is it for now. Thanks for reading. More news is coming. Please spread the word that we're looking to recruit if you have a friend who you think will be interested.
Much love to you all,
Chris and all the Team.
Shambala – Musical Madness
Aug 21st
Oh Yes! Shambala here we come. We've been busy making plans here at Upcycle.
The idea goes something like this –>
We'll be making recycled instruments over the weekend and walking around the campsite and introducing ourselves to the festival goers.
Then on Monday when all are packing down and going home we'll be jazzing around the campsite merrily singing this song..
Awesome! We love this and are super excited.
While singing and dancing with our newly created instruments we'll be helping campers clean up after themselves. Angelic.
The mission is to keep the campsite beautiful and clean.
Lets see how many festival goers are humming this little number on their way home clutching a piece of 'waste'..
Its Arrived…
Jul 5th
Dearest Eco-Rangers.
For us the Festival Season is about to get under way. We've not started our tour yet but its nearly upon us. Heres to one final shout out to any budding Eco-Rangers out there. We have spaces reaming at these three Festivals:
Cock and Bull Festival — 25th – 29th July
Cloud Cuckoo Land — 31st July – 6th August
Smugglers Festival – 29th August – 2nd September
Working as an Eco-Ranger gives you a unique opportunity to experience UK festival culture at its best. We have an awesome core team, and we'll be building on last year's experience. Its a great time to join in, get your hands dirty and work to inspire a truly loving attitude towards our world.
We're low on applications this year, I'm not sure why, but any help in spreading the message would be much appreciated. Please use facebook (www.facebook.com/upcycle.org.uk), our website (www.up-cycle.org.uk) and twitter (@upcycleuk) as much as you can to spread the word.
Excellent. Thanks for your help in advance and I hope to see many of you over the summer.
Much love,

Pop punk en
Pop punk is a fusion music genre that combines elements of punk rock with pop music to varying degrees. The music typically combines fast punk tempos, chord changes and loud guitars with pop-influenced melodies and lyrical themes. Pop-influenced punk rock emerged in the mid 1970s with a music style that was stylistically similar to power pop. By the mid 1980s, several bands merged hardcore punk with pop music to create a new, faster pop punk sound. Pop punk in the United States began to grow in popularity locally in California in the mid to late 1980s with the formation of new bands such as Green Day and The Offspring. Pop punk particularly thrived in California, where independent record labels adopted a do it yourself approach to releasing music. By the 1990s, a few pop punk bands started to sell millions of records and receive extensive radio and television airplay, such as Green Day. By 1994, pop punk was quickly growing in mainstream popularity. The late 1990s, exemplified by the 1999 release of Blink-182's Enema of the State, represented the genre's mainstream peak, although some pop punk bands scored successful album chartings in the 2000s.

Be an Amazing Catechist
Crafts That Help Lead Kids to Christ
Christmas Angels
I have had great success with simple angel ornaments the children can decorate as a gift for others. Warning: I spend a good deal of time in preparation, making a very primitive stencil of an angel silhouette (with simplified halo) and cutting a couple dozen of them out of white card stock before class. I give the children washable markers and cheap star stickers to decorate their angels, and then distribute brightly colored feathers and glue sticks for adorning the wings. When they are finished, the children come to me and I wrap half a metallic gold pipe cleaner around the indentation between the head and the halo, twisting the loose ends together in back and bending them into the shape of a hook (for hanging on the tree).
One year we sent our angels to soldiers in Iraq, along with sporting magazines, bags of dried fruit, chocolate, and other goodies parents donated. The medic of the company that received them took digital pictures of the area in the medical tent where our angels were hung, and emailed the photos to me along with a warmly appreciative note. The children were overjoyed.
These crafts are successful because:
1) They bring a joyful connection to lessons on faith, hope, and love.
2) They are cheap, so you don't bungle your budget.
3) They are fairly quick, so very little class time is lost for teaching the Faith.
4) They are easy, so every kid can succeed.
5) They produce something of beauty and value that will likely be used again and remain in the home as a reminder of the lesson.
Thanks for joining me again, this week. Please try to take a few minutes every day to be quiet and listen for God's gentle voice within you. This is an especially grace-filled season for drawing near to Him, even in the midst of all our busyness. If you have been away from the sacraments this is a powerful time to return, and you will experience precious rewards. Like little children, let's move past all our inhibitions and come to Jesus. It's all He wants for Christmas.
God bless you!

Wesley finds that being in charge of a team composed of more senior adults a big challenge, as they begin to dismiss his directions and instead try to convince him to follow their lead.Will Data be allowed to rescue his new found friend on the planet, and will Wesley be able to reign in the scientists under his temporary command?

Chapter 8--The Psychological Evidence.
ALL ABOOOOAAARRRDDD! (ha ha ha ha!--cue rhythm section).
Quite simply, this chapter discusses the evidence for Jesus' sanity, or lack thereof. Were the claims he made and the teachings he taught the sign of a sick mind, or brilliant genius? Once again, the gospels are our sole source of evidence and more so than the last, this chapter assumes the assertion that they are accurate, which the previous chapters failed to prove. Nevertheless Strobel forges onward, dragging me with him like a piece of hellbound heathen flotsam. Do I hear an approaching waterfall?
Today's expert is one Gary Collins, PhD, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, fifteen thousand strong at publication time. I usually skip this part, but he has a doctorate in clinical psychology from Purdue, was a professor of psychology, a prolific writer, and was active in the field for thirty five years prior to this interview. You will soon see why I mention his cv.
I always give credit where it's due, and Strobel usually doesn't softball his interviewees with puff questions. He gets right to it--was Jesus nuts? Isn't it obvious he suffered from a delusional psychosis of some sort, perhaps grandeur? How was he different from the inmate at the local asylum who also claims to talk to, or be, God? Collins tacitly admits as much, but counters that the truly delusional show inappropriate emotional behavior, unlike Jesus. For example, he cried at the grave of his friend Lazarus, which is a healthy response. But Strobel points out, he sure got angry at times too, alluding to the incident in the Temple. Collins excuses this as 'righteous anger' over mistreatment of others. Many criminals and terrorists have said the same--not that Jesus is equivalent to a terrorist, but righteous anger does not sanity indicate. A non sequitur about whether Jesus suffered paranoia, looked aberrant, or spoke irrationally follows--he didn't in all cases, but this appears to be inserted into the testimony to make Jesus look sane--"see, here's some disorders he didn't have so he's good." Reminds me of the defense lawyer--"True, Your Honor, my client is an violent vandal who wrecked a legal temple exchange, but he didn't kill them, so he's not that bad." Collins credits Jesus with 'amazing insights into human nature'--having read the gospels,I must have missed them. Jesus' observations are nothing that can't be found in any related literature from ancient times. Collins then brings up Jesus' compassion, caring, loving behavior and attitudes as evidence for his sanity--as if only sociopathy is a valid sign of mental illness. Collins then makes the statement that Jesus, a man who claimed adoption and/or identity with God, was more sane than he. The irony of this statement will taste delicious in the near future.
Of course, Jesus had detractors that were more than willing to diagnose him as loony, or even demon-possessed--John 10:20 is mentioned. Collins waves the critics in this story off for not being trained mental health professionals (!) and that Jesus made statements far beyond what hey considered the norm. Since Jesus tells his audience that God has commanded him to lay down his life for his flock and then 'take it up again,' I would have to agree that the norm has vanished off in the distance here. Collins also offers the miracles Jesus performed as evidence of the truth of Jesus' claims as well. Not having been there to assess the truth of such miracle claims (which Collins assumes a priori), I can only relate that the detractors in the gospels weren't impressed with the miracles either--Jesus was either a fraud or in league with demons as far as they were concerned. Did Jesus use the power of suggestion to heal people? Collins says that while this is possible, he still not only healed people, but even raised the dead--that's asking too much even from the placebo effect! Same goes for the natural miracles. What also goes for these miracles is the lack of extra-biblical evidence for all of them, just like the miracle stories of cultures and myths the world over. Faith without evidence does not make much of a case for anything.
Here comes an even bigger non sequitur--discussion of some writer's odd theory that Jesus worked his miracles by means of hypnosis. I'm just going to skip this part, because it's pointless except to make the case for Christ look reasonable by placing it next to a loopy theory. Collins rebuts it of course--I'll note that his rebuttal once again assumes the literal truth of the gospel accounts. When Collins mentions the healing of ten lepers in Luke 17, he makes the unintentionally hilarious assessment that they were '100%' healed, a diagnosis that could only be accomplished through time travel. Nothing to see here, folks.
Now put away the Ozzy music and cue the theme to "The Twilight Zone," or some Mike Oldfield. Strobel mentions the exorcisms Jesus performed--are those the actions of a rational person? Before I report Collins' answer, I would like to repeat some facts about our guest--he is president of an organization of 15,000 licensed and accredited counselors, with a doctorate in clinical psychology. Got that? Okay, here he goes. Collins says that demons exist, that he has colleagues who have encountered them in a clinical setting, and that Jesus, by virtue of his activities, was attracting their attention. He suggests that those who seek naturalistic explanations for illness are the ones who are really reaching. He thinks that the exorcisms in the gospels, like the Legion and the demon swine episode for example, should be construed as proof for both the existence of demons and the sanity of Jesus. He cites a witticism from C.S. Lewis, fellow believer in demonic infestation (even when he was an 'atheist'), as corroboration. And he suggests that secular psychologists will soon the the light (or the darkness, as it were) on demonically influenced mental illness. Well then. There is so much I have to say, but it can best be summed up by the following--"Physician, heal thyself!"
And that's the chapter. I will now back away from it very slowly, make no sudden moves, and leave with this thought until next time.
According to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for delusional disorder, grandiose type symptoms include grossly exaggerated belief of:
- self-worth ("I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.")
- power ("Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory")
- knowledge ("Do not think I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill")
- identity ("But who do you say I am?" Peter answered and said, "You are the Messiah.")
- or exceptional relationship to a divinity or famous person. ("The Father and I are one.")

I don't think it will support offline commands like 'help' right now. If you think there's a use case you can file an RFE.

I use the getReport method in my unit tests to check the exit code of the command. I'll show an example of how I do that. I use the getMessage as well but for some I'm not seeing any messages right now. So that may be a bug.

On another note, I have created a DVD ISO image that contains all of JavaOne, the videos, labs, sessions, software.

Some more Kisame x Sakura fanart! I was inspired after L finally updated Coercion, yay! So enjoy this fluffy scene while I go bug her to write the next chap
Beautiful moment. I love Sakura's profile and pretty much everything else.
I love this! Kisame and Sakura are my favorite pairing! Please never stop drawing them
You've made a very tempting picture with the planes of his back and the line of his spine. After that and pulling in his jaw, you've given him this sort of...ageless glow that adds to the romance of the scene. It definitely keeps you wondering about the story behind the two. Beautiful illustration. <3 Well done!
One of my favourite Sakura pairings Q u Q !! I approve!

It's sooooooo beautiful ^^ I love you're works ^^
I.... I've never thought about this couple before, but this is so nicely drawn! Good job!
Love the way you draw Kisame. It's exactly how I would imagine him if he would be in the real world
Odd pairing.
It actually is, yes. I never thought about that after reading Coercion.. It just seemed soooo natural after that fanfiction
love this drawing! everything looks so natural...
UWAH!!!! I stole this and used it as the wallpaper for my iPad! I so sorry! Could I keep, though I claim no rights?!
It's no problem, that's actually very flattering
Haha, thanks! ^.^ I FEEL SPECIAL! Blah, too much sugar in those cookies...aaaaanyways, I love that kisaxsaku fic that I've been reading (sorry, I can't spell corcian or whatever it was I'm dyslexic...-_-") WAAAAAAAH!!! So many feels in a single fic! I haven't got this mushy since I read this other super long fic called Blind and now I envy you cuz you got SO MANY REVIEWS!!! And I have like 4 on my story yeeeeah....the icon says it all...
Thanks a lot, I'm sure my friend who writes the story will feel happy to know that And don't worry, as long as you keep writing you'll get more reviews!
ehhhhhh....oh well, I'LL KEEP DA FAITH!!!! i do have a few loyal followers
The way you draw Kisame is so... so... fucking sexy
I hate Sakura but this is so amazing

Aw man, this is sooo pretty! May I steal it to use as my desktop background? *3*

Alternate universe has never been so rewarding. ^_^
love it my favorite pairing great job you got anymore of them together?
Thank you so much! I can't believe how many people have been complimenting me on the way I draw Kisame because I never thought I did him that much justice compared to other artists, so really that makes me insanely happy
I looooove your style and colouring. I like that you use pale greyish blue for his skin tone rather than straight up blue and sakura's hair isn't a screaming loud pink. Your anatomy is always strikingly flowing and accurate but simple at the same time. I was wondering if you use stocks/references for drawings like these? aaaand also what program do you use? BEAUTIFUL work!!!
PS: I completely blame you and your old roomie for getting me so into this weird-ass awesome pairing

Thanks! I'm so flattered when people compliment me on anatomy because I always think I suck at it. I do use references from time to time, and the one I used here was from a simple google search probably containing "couple sitting" or something. I usually end up on a stock image site like shutterstock or depositphotos, which helps because they have a TON of stuff if you need help with posing. And also I use Adobe Photoshop, nothing fancy there, haha.
And I'm glad that we got you into this cracky-cute fandom lol.

How on earth do you manage to make Kisame look so attractive? I demand more! Haha. I was actually just going to comment on how lucky I must be that we finally got a chapter update and now some gorgeous fan art. So yes, but her more so you can be inspired to keep drawing our favourite shark man!
Wow this is really cool and beautifull XD
