Learn to Scrapbook 08-Scrap by Color
Color is probably the most versatile and exciting tool available to a scrapbooker. There is a vast supply of papers and embellishments available in every color imaginable. There are so many, in fact, that it can be difficult choosing what color(s) to use when creating a layout.
A good starting place is to consider the following questions to help you determine what kind of color scheme is most appropriate for the page you are creating:
- What colors match the photos I want to display? - Scrapbook.com's Scrap by Color tool is a fool-proof way to find a perfect color combination based on your photos. Simply upload your photo, pick a color and play with the suggested color schemes. Not only will you choose a great color combination, but you can then instantly shop for products to use with that scheme!
- What colors present the mood I want to create with this page? - When scrapbooking with black and white or sepia-toned photographs, depicting a certain mood may be more important for a particular layout than finding matching colors to the photo. Whether you choose yellows and browns to create a warm and cozy feeling; reds, purples, and blues to bring a regal and passionate feel to your page; blues and greens for a fresh and clean look; or neutral tans and creams for a calming, non-distracting background, you'll notice that color really does make a difference in the mood of your layout and can completely change the look of your photograph.
- What colors represent the event or subject of the photos? - There will always be layouts that feature traditional holiday colors, school colors, baby boy blues and little girl pinks. And what's a St. Patrick's Day layout without green? Using this version of choosing your colors allows you to use many of the themed patterned papers, stickers and die cuts that are created by many companies with the "traditional" colors in mind.

One of the best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Messa Da Requiem/Quattro Pezzi (Audio CD)
A great Italian conductor (Giulini), a great song cast at thier peak (Schwarzkopf, Ludwig, Gedda and Ghiaurov), great chorus and quite good sound make this one of the best Verdi requiem recorded.
This is not crystal clear sound that you find at Gardiners DDD version recorded by Philips in 1995 but for a version origin date 63 and 64, remastred at Abbey Road studio, it has very good sound and Giulini has choosen a couple of the best opera singers from that time for this stunning Verdi Requiem/Quattro Pezzi Sacri.
Buy Guilini and Gardiner and compare. Both versions is excellent and they differ in sounds and orchestra.
To take this one as no 1 is not a bad idea if you cant afford Gardiners too. This is a mid price record and it is well used money. You could pay full price and not get a fantastic performance like this in other cases... (newest is not always best). This remastered version is from 2001 and I think remaster process take place in 1997 so dont worry about sound (even if gardiners at Philips has a better sound). Sound is smoothe and Gedda was a fantastic tenor.
This Giulini/EMI version is highly recommended.

Braintaining : Lifelong feeding and care of an agile, healthy mind
Helen Mendes Love, 78, from Humble, Texas, knows stress and anxiety are bad for the brain. "Instead of worrying about money, or my health is going to be bad, I pray and trust God, and that puts less stress on my brain." Research confirms that approach. Prayer and meditation have significant stress-reducing properties, helping the brain.
She taught social work at the University of Southern California and directed social work for undergrads at Pepperdine and knows memory is enhanced when you care about what you need to remember, she said. She eats well for health and to show respect for God. When she reads about a problem, she considers how she can address it. She could not help the children massacred in Newtown, Conn., or the young man who killed them, by all accounts a disturbed, isolated person. She challenged her seniors church group to identify people in their environment who appear lonely and think through how to help them.
"When we are engaged with others, we stay more involved in life, and that affects our brain." She watches "Jeopardy" with her husband. If there's a TV whodunit, they debate who committed the crime. She learned French and some Spanish as a brain exercise, too. That helps when she travels — and travel is brain-friendly, too.
Mental muscle
Fernandez said he would bypass supplements and focus on building neurons. Forceful exercise, like fast walking and climbing stairs, all enhance the rate at which neurons form.
Then, they must be stimulated or they'll die. The key is mental and physical exercise that brings into play elements of novelty, variety and challenge. With that, neurons can survive for years, Fernandez said.
While stress can boost alertness and focus, too much thwarts neuron creation. If you're stressed for the 10 minutes each day it takes to get the kids off to school, it's no big deal. If you are stressed for weeks and months, it damages the brain. Taking a memory class will be much less helpful than learning meditations or yoga or biofeedback to regulate stress, Fernandez said.
While scientists search for a cure for degenerative illnesses like Alzheimer's, people can improve outcomes now. Learn new things. If they're hard, great. If you have no aptitude, keep working on it, experts said. The struggle may offer the greatest benefit.
Fernandez emphasized that lifestyle has more impact than genetics. Stay challenged, look for novelty and choose diverse activities. Your brain will thank you.

Couple deny arson chargeMay 21,2013Couple deny arson charge
A Fair Haven couple charged with torching their car dealership denied a pair of arson charges brought against them.
Edward David, 50, and his wife Tammy, 46, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to felony charges of second-degree arson.
They were released on minimal court-ordered conditions after the hearing.
The pair allegedly lit a fire that destroyed their dealership on the evening of March 17.
A Vermont State Police investigation into the fire revealed that the couple left the building minutes before the fire started and that they are more than $1.1 million in debt including delinquent property taxes in the amount of $7,000 owed in Castleton and $21,000 in delinquent taxes owed in Fair Haven.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Back to Vietnam, This Time to Build
By MARK LANDLER
Published: September 13, 1998
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam— THE last time Samuel F. Champi was in Vietnam, he was a 24-year-old Army engineer, building a 1,000-foot-long steel bridge across the Ban Thach River on the central coast. The bridge was to be a crucial link on the main north-south highway used by American military convoys, so he pulled round-the-clock shifts to complete it by early 1969.
On a tropical afternoon nearly three decades later, Mr. Champi stood stiffly in a gilded reception room here as the deputy chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City awarded him a license to build 40,000 low-cost apartment units in the suburbs of this teeming city, once known as Saigon. If completed, the project will be one of the largest American business investments ever in Vietnam.
For Mr. Champi, now 53 and a contractor in Bernardsville, N.J., it would also be a chance to return to Vietnam and pick up where he left off -- as a builder in a land where Americans mostly destroyed.
Not that he would put it that way. Mr. Champi says he has few misgivings about his experiences in the Vietnam War. And he rejects the suggestion that he is coming back on a personal odyssey to right old wrongs or to put the war behind him. ''I don't think we owe the Vietnamese anything, because we were doing what we thought was right for them at the time,'' he said.
Still, he concedes that history hangs over the project. Three of his partners are Vietnam veterans, and so is the retired admiral who brokered the deal, Edward D. Sheafer Jr. Mr. Champi's company, Point Enterprises International, is named after the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he and two other partners were part of the class of 1966. Over all, that group suffered one of the highest mortality rates in the war of all West Point classes.
''You could say this is an accident, but it ain't no accident,'' said Tom Carhart, a partner and classmate of Mr. Champi's who was wounded twice as an infantry officer in Vietnam. ''I was a soldier, and I did my duty as a soldier. But we caused a lot of damage in that country. It's nice to go back and do some good.''
Mr. Carhart and Mr. Champi are among growing numbers of veterans who are returning to Vietnam to forge ties in a place where they once fought in battle. Several executives at Vietnam offices of American corporations served in the war; so did many of the American consultants, entrepreneurs and even diplomats who are now active here. Pete Peterson, the United States Ambassador to Vietnam, is a former Navy pilot who was shot down by the North Vietnamese and imprisoned for more than six years; Charles A. Ray, the newly appointed consul general in Ho Chi Minh City, served tours in Saigon and Da Nang as an Army staff officer.
Most veterans here, like thousands of other Americans who have arrived since President Clinton lifted the trade embargo in 1994, are hoping to make money in this awakening land. With 75 million people, a plentiful supply of cheap labor and one of the few economies in Southeast Asia that is still growing, Vietnam is a tempting target for sharp-eyed business people.
But for veterans, there are motives beyond the monetary one. Whether they feel at peace with their experience here or are still nursing scars, the war has left a lasting imprint on them. Because they were witnesses to the anguish borne by the Vietnamese, most believe they can play a part in healing the wounds between the United States and Vietnam.
''There is a real feeling of happiness on both sides that former enemies can work together in a positive way,'' Mr. Ray said. ''The best people to bridge the past and the future are the people who were here in the past. That will make it easier for Americans in the future to get on with business.''
Certainly, the veterans are dogged in their determination to succeed in a country where many foreign investors have failed. Like most new arrivals, Mr. Champi and his partners have found doing business here nearly as difficult as fighting a war, complicated by capricious regulation, endless red tape and the hostility of Communist bureaucrats to free-market principles.
The obstacles are so great that some American companies, like Chrysler, have pulled out of Vietnam, while others, like Procter & Gamble, have fallen into vicious squabbles with their state-controlled partners. Asia's financial crisis has compounded the problem by forcing the main investing nations, like Singapore, Taiwan and Japan, to scale back their ambitions in the country. New foreign investment in Vietnam plunged to $1.15 billion in the first six months of 1998, 15 percent less than in the corresponding period last year.
MR. CHAMPI believes that his housing project will be one of the rare successes because it meets a crying need. With a population that has swelled to 5.5 million, Ho Chi Minh City is seriously overcrowded. Families of 10 cram into tiny apartments; people sleep on the sidewalks on bamboo mats. In 1994, the government announced a plan to address the overcrowding by moving two million people from the city center to outlying districts. But to do that, it must supply them with affordable places to live.

U.K. Stocks Fall as North Korea Shells Neighbor, Metals Slide
U.K. stocks slid, sending the FTSE 100 Index lower for a third day, after North Korea fired artillery shells into South Korea and as inflation concerns led Chinese stocks lower.
Standard Chartered Plc lost 2.7 percent. Bank of Ireland Plc and Allied Irish Banks Plc tumbled for a second day in Ireland. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company, and Rio Tinto Group both declined at least 2.2 percent.
The benchmark FTSE 100 decreased 99.55, or 1.8 percent, to 5,581.28 at the 4:30 p.m. close in London, for the worst three-day performance since July 1. The FTSE All-Share Index slipped 1.7 percent, while Ireland's ISEQ Index tumbled 3.4 percent.
South Korea scrambled fighter jets and returned fire after North Korea lobbed dozens of shells into its waters and at an island, killing two soldiers. Television footage showed smoke billowing from Yeonpyeong island off South Korea's northwest coast, where the shelling set fire to houses, local television channel YTN said.
"Investors are shaken by North Korea's shelling of its neighbor and are still worried about just how far the sovereign- debt contagion will spread," said Peter Braendle, a fund manager at Swisscanto Asset Management AG in Zurich, which oversees $62 billion.
Stocks fell around the world after the international bailout for Ireland failed to stem concern that Europe's sovereign-debt crisis will spread to other indebted countries such as Portugal and Spain.
Irish Elections
Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen late yesterday said he will seek national elections early next year after his government passes its 2011 budget. The announcement came hours after the Green Party said it would pull out of the ruling coalition following the budget vote, saying Cowen misled voters in negotiating the bailout.
Bank of Ireland plummeted 25 percent to 29.2 euro cents. Allied Irish dropped 19 percent to 33 cents. European Union officials estimate that a rescue package for Ireland may amount to about 85 billion euros ($114 billion), according to two officials familiar with the talks.
Standard Chartered, the British lender that generates the majority of its earnings in Asia, slipped 2.7 percent to 1,737 pence, while HSBC Holdings plc retreated 1.5 percent to 643.9 pence, the lowest price since Aug. 31.
Barclays Plc lost 2.1 percent to 264.25 pence. Two transfers to the U.K. lender totaling about $1.3 billion from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in September 2008 may have violated securities laws, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said.
Metals Fall
Basic-resources stocks tumbled as metal prices decreased for a third day. China's stocks slid as concern mounted that the government will intensify steps to tame inflation, potentially curbing consumption in the world's biggest user.
China's biggest banks are close to reaching annual lending quotas and plan to stop expanding their loan books to avoid exceeding the limits, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.
BHP Billiton lost 2.2 percent to 2,268 pence as copper, zinc and aluminum retreated on the London Metal Exchange. Rio Tinto declined 2.8 percent to 4,070 pence. Xstrata Plc, the largest exporter of coal used for power, shed 2.2 percent to 1,270 pence.
Mitchells & Butlers Plc, the U.K. owner of the All Bar One chain, tumbled 2.6 percent to 344.6 pence as it posted a full-year loss on lower sales of beverages at its public houses.
Laird Plc rose the most in more than three months, gaining 9.1 percent to 152 pence. The biggest maker of electromagnetic shields for mobile phones announced it will buy Cattron Group International Inc. for $90 million in cash. The deal will be "significantly earnings-enhancing" in 2011, the company said.
De La Rue Plc, the world's biggest printer of banknotes, tumbled 11 percent to 557.5 pence after it said there "remains uncertainty" about the financial impact of a forced stop in paper shipments. In September, De La Rue discovered that some employees had deliberately falsified certain paper specification test certificates for certain customers.

But the best discovery of all is Jeffrey Tifton, son of Arundel's owner, who quickly proves to be the perfect companion for their adventures. The icy-hearted Mrs. Tifton is not as pleased with the Penderwicks as Jeffrey is, though, and warns the new friends to stay out of trouble. Which, of course, they willwon't they? One thing's for sure:...

You got it - it's private. Only 13 members. But I got really sick of wanting to do missions and nobody doing them with me. Then turning around and saying that the best way to level is to do missions.
Then someone in the crew unfriended me, one of the two crew leaders nonetheless.
These people are Call of Duty players and I've NEVER played a competitive online mode before. I have problems with constantly getting slaughtered, yet those two have k/d ratios of ~1.50. When I said that the game was hard for me because of that, I was told that the game wasn't for me.
Two nights ago I made a little boo-boo. The two crew leaders were in a chat party, so one was the person who unfriended me and so I didn't feel comfortable joining without an invitation. Then I entered their GTAO session and still they didn't invite me to the party or play with me. They had a Buzzard and so did I. At one point they landed and I shot a rocket downward thinking I was shooting someone who had a bounty. Instead, I shot my two crew members.
Feeling bad about that, I landed my Buzzard next to where they respawned, and got out. If I'd been in their party, I could have told them that I was offering them my Buzzard as an apology. Instead, they got out of their car, shot my Buzzard so it was dead, then got back in their car and sped off.
I sent an apology message to the one of them still on my friend list explaining what happened. I didn't get the courtesy of a response. He also hasn't accepted any of my party invites since I accidentally blew them up.
They shot my gift to them and that really upset me. I'm kind of sensitive so it made me cry.
Not that they cared. I found out last night (from someone talking to the person who unfriended me) that they shot my Buzzard so I wouldn't do anything like that again. Like I needed a lesson? That also hurt because, despite never having been anything but kind and helpful to other members of the crew, they obviously thought the worst of me.
So fuck them... I quit the crew that very night and found another crew of local Denverites, one of whom is a guy I go to karaoke with and I can't tell if I have a crush on him!
But I'm still upset about what my own crew did to me.

The Danish striker is determined to prolong his stay in Italy but needs the chance to prove his worth to Juventus in order to last beyond his current loan deal.Nicklas Bendtner is detemined he can prove to Juventus coaches Antonio Conte and Angelo Alessio that he is deserving of a place in his starting lineup after finding himself on the fringes since his move to Turin.
The Dane, who has only made one appearance off the bench during his loan from Arsenal that extends until the end of the season, told Tuttosport, "I do not regret choosing Juventus, it was an easy transition to make and everyone at the club has made me feel welcome. I am very happy in Turin, it is a wonderful and ambivalent city.
"It's my wish to remain here after my loan finishes, but I must first prove myself, and to do that I need to play."
Bendtner will be looking to score against Italy to reignite Denmark's World Cup qualifying campaign, and after he netted in his country's 1-1 draw with Bulgaria, Alessio, who had his ban for match-fixing reduced to the point that he has served his time, may be faced with a dilemma of whether to select the in-form striker to face Napoli after the international break.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Making the Choice
Your Final Answer?
You're probably too young to remember, but once upon a time in a galaxy not too far away, a game show called Let's Make a Deal thrilled audiences with its spectacular prizes and wacky games.
The contestants came from the studio audience, which kept excitement high both on and off the stage. When chosen, the contestants would play a simple game to win something, and the prizes ranged from cash to appliances, furniture, and electronicsnothing too sensational or expensive. But these prizes became bargaining chips for the second round.
During round two, the player could either leave, satisfied with his new toaster oven or TV, or he could "make a deal" with host Monty Hall. If he chose to deal, the contestant traded his prize for what lay behind one of three huge doors.
Since no contestant had any idea whether the hidden prize would be something better or worse, an element of risk existed. By taking that risk, the player might walk away with a brand-new car or thousands of dollars in cold, hard cash. Then again, the wrong door might reveal a family of monkeys dressed like baseball players, chewing on peanuts and swinging inflatable bats. (No kidding, they really had stuff like that! And get thisyou didn't even win the monkeys.) If the contestant later walked away with a car, he would probably feel he'd made the best pick of his life. On the other hand, seeing the baseball-playing monkeys could definitely leave him depressed over his decision-making skills.
Almost all game shows come down to one make-or-break choice. And the stakes have only escalated in the years since Let's Make a Deal. Now America sits glassy-eyed as Regis Philbin helps discover who wants to be a millionaire. Contestants aren't risking a new lawn mower anymore. They're playing with six- or seven-digit figures.
If you haven't seen the program, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is played like this: The contestant must answer fifteen multiple-choice questions to win the million. The first question is worth a measly $100, but eventually the money starts doubling and you can win serious dough.
At each level, the player has the option to take the money he's already won or risk it to go on to the next question. Once his winnings reach $32,000, that much is guaranteed. So if you've won $250,000 and answer the next question incorrectly, you forfeit $218,000. You lose all but the guaranteed $32,000.
Yes, indeed, the game-show stakes have increased exponentially from the Let's Make a Deal days. If a player on Millionaire chooses wisely, he walks away with a truckload of money. But if he chooses poorly, he winds up losing big time.
In reality, however, the contestant in both these examples loses nothing except the idea of winning. After all, you don't play with your own dollars on Millionaire, and even the cheapest beginning prizes on Let's Make a Deal were never yours to begin with. In the land of game shows, you risk nothing except the chance to win something unexpected. Your participation in the game makes a difference, but it won't cause you personal loss.
(Protection from personal loss may be changing though. We saw a brief segment of a British game show in which a nice couple from a London suburb was asked a trivia question in the category of "Geography" to win some prize. Apparently as part of the game, the couple had risked their family car on the question. Unfortunately, they answered incorrectly and then watched as their car was lowered into an industrial crusher. In moments it was turned into a neatly compressed square of metal.)
But most game shows today are not reality. In real life, you make choices every day, all day long, that affect your life, even when you might feel you're "playing" with things that aren't yours or that your choice won't matter that much.
Some choices do in fact matter a great deal. Some choices are risky, and making the right decision requires wisdom. If you lie to your parents, you risk getting grounded or, worse, losing their willingness to trust you. If you choose to do drugs, you risk injuring your body for life. If you have sex before marriage, you risk pregnancy, STDs, and psychological trauma. You may even risk facing these consequences if you "fool around" without going "all the way." Some choices make the difference between a good life and a miserable one.
Choosing whom to marry is a life-altering decision that matters. Whom you marry makes the difference in almost every area of lifefamily, friends, and even your walk with the Lord. Next to accepting Jesus as your Savior, choosing whom to marry is the biggest decision you will make.
"Hold on," you say. "I'm nowhere near ready for marriage. Why do I need to think about this now? I thought this book was going to help me look for the right people to date."
This book will help you make wise choices and date according to God's standards. But we want you to think about where those choices eventually lead.
As a young person who desires to honor the Lord, you want to please Him when you eventually marry. Why not learn now how to determine whether a person of the opposite sex will complement you and spur you on in your relationship with Jesus?
Now is the time to start thinking seriously about your standards for a life partner. If you begin to formulate godly ideas about what you desire in a spouse, you'll be better able to find your prince or princess without having to kiss a bunch of frogs.
It doesn't work to date willy-nilly and expect that someday you'll find a man or woman worth marrying. Choose wisely now, for your choices along the way will influence and shape your final choice. By learning wisdom in the smaller choices now, you prepare yourself for that later life-changing and all-important decision of choosing whom to marry.
"We Rent Wedding Rings"
For making those wise choices, you won't find much help from the world. The world's view of marriage is a poor one. Next time you watch television or go to the movies, count the number of married couples you see who have happy, healthy relationships. Compare that number with how many couples you see who are having affairs, or are always arguing, or whose love for each other has died. Hollywood doesn't usually take marriage very seriously. If you go by what you see on TV and in the movies, you might easily think of marriage as boring, dreadful, or a total joke.
So it's no surprise that the world considers divorce the normal next step when a husband and wife don't see eye to eye. It's "normal" for a person to have one, two, or three ex-spouses. Divorce has been completely integrated and accepted in our society. Divorce proceedings have even become "entertainment," as couples air their dirty marital laundrythe scandals, the betrayals, the painbefore thousands of viewers. Studio executives must think portraying a healthy, happy marriage would be boring by comparison.
The world's easy escape clause of divorce enables people to make the decision to get married with little or no thought. In fact, isn't that what many television and film couples do? Over a few drinks together, they decide to tie the knot. Then they make a quick trip to Vegas to get married. They "go for it," because it feels right at the moment.
It's no wonder that the divorce rate has skyrocketedto more than 50 percent for those marrying for the first time and to over 75 percent for remarriages. The world views the choice of whom to marry as not much more serious than buying a dress or ordering a dish off a menu: If you don't like it, you can exchange it or send it back. A high-priced jewelry store in a Hollywood neighborhood actually advertised, "We rent wedding rings." Wear the ring for the "trial" period, and if you don't care for the person you married (and chances are you won't), you can turn the ring in until you're ready to try again.
But to be fair, this negativity about marriage isn't simply the creation of the modern media. As far back as 1678, a French moralist said, "There are good marriages, but no delightful ones." Who would want to get married with that kind of recommendation?
Is this how we're to view marriage? Are all marriages doomed to be "good" but never "delightful"? Is marriage just a bad joke?
'Til Death Do Us Part
The world may not take marriage seriously, but God certainly does. He designed marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and woman. He made clear His intentions for marriage when He Himself matched and married Adam and Eve in the Garden.
He designed marriage as the miracle of "two becoming one." He arranged for spouses to be bondedphysically and emotionallyuntil death separates them. That's why the marriage vows require a husband and wife to cherish, love, and serve each other "until death do us part." God intended marriage to be a life-changing and lifelong covenant. To the Lord, marriage is a life-and-death matter.
Jesus doesn't mince words when it comes to divorce, as we can see in the following selections from the contemporary translation of the Bible called The Message. Several Pharisees are confronting Jesus to test His views. They badger Him:
"Is it legal for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"
He answered, "Haven't you read in your Bible that the Creator originally made man and woman for each other, male and female? And because of this, a man leaves father and mother and is firmly bonded to his wife, becoming one flesh no longer two bodies but one. Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart." (Matthew 19:3-6)
Jesus boldly declares that divorce destroys God's art. It cuts apart two individuals whom He has firmly bonded together. This separation cannot be done without great pain and suffering to both people. The Lord knows that divorce ravages His design for life and love.
But the Pharisees don't give up.
They shot back in rebuttal, "If that's so, why did Moses give instructions for divorce papers and divorce procedures?"
Jesus said, "Moses provided for divorce as a concession to your hardheartedness, but it is not part of God's original plan. I'm holding you to the original plan, and holding you liable for adultery if you divorce your faithful wife and then marry someone else. I make an exception in cases where the spouse has committed adultery."
Jesus' disciples objected, "If those are the terms of marriage, we're stuck. Why get married?"
But Jesus said, "Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn't for everyone.... But if you're capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it." (19:7-12)
Notice what Jesus reveals about the seriousness of marriage. First of all, God intended marriage to last a lifetime and allowed divorce only because of the stubborn and unyielding hearts of His people.
Second, Jesus holds us to the original standard, which deems a person guilty of adultery if he or she divorces a faithful spouse and remarries.
And finally, Jesus reveals that marriage is such a big deal that not everyone can or should do it. For some people marriage is too great a commitment, too hard a course. It's fascinating that Jesus' disciples, not the Pharisees, object, "But Lord, that means we're stuck with whomever we choose." Even His most committed followers had a problem with the "forever" part of marriage! And Jesus confirms the truth of their conclusion. Because you're "stuck" once you make the choice, every person should weigh the gravity of marriage before taking the vows.
From the beginning, God planned marriage to be a lifelong commitment. He wanted men and women to take it seriously. And here's the bottom line: "`I hate divorce,' says the Lord God of Israel" (Malachi 2:16). The Lord views marriage so highly that He cannot stand to see it torn apart.
We should have this same mind-set. When it comes to marriage, our Lord makes it clear that once we've taken the vows, once we seal the covenant before Him, He desires and expects us to follow through until death do us part.
Tragically, many Christians have followed the ways of the world and have reneged on their commitments, breaking their covenant vows. Today the divorce rate in America among Christians is equal to that of nonbelievers, and it continues to grow at a frightening rate. Christians seem to believe the lie that if you choose poorly the first time, you can simply get out and start again.
As a young adult who has the chance to make the right choice the first time, take the Lord's words seriously. Regard marriage as He does and plan to make a lifelong commitment when you find a person of godly character. Make the selection process as important to you as it is to Him.
Learn now to pick your dates according to the same biblical standards you have for a spouse. When you do, you'll set yourself up for successful relationships. Then you can date and eventually marry a person who is holy, outrageous, and trustworthy.
But WaitThere's Morel
You can see the sharp contrast between the world's view of marriage and God's view. Now we'll give you a few more reasons why marriage is such a major life-decision.
These reasons originate in God's purposes for creating marriage. First, God instituted marriage because He found it wasn't good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18). God wanted man to have a mate who would satisfy part of his need for love and intimacy. Alone, he could not have these needs met. Sharing his life in marriage, however, he could be completed, fulfilled, and delighted.
Because God intended marriage to solve the problems that come from being alone, you need to search for a spouse who will meet your needs for love and intimacy. Look for a mate who can be trusted with your vulnerability. God saw that it was "not good" for man to be alone without a companion, but it's worse for a man or woman to feel alone in marriage. Your choice of a spouse determines whether you will be fulfilled or lonely in marriage.
Another reason the Lord created marriage was to reflect His love for the church. That's why husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the church, giving Himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25). In The Mystery of Marriage, Mike Mason expands this idea: "The love between a husband and wife is a participation in the love of God for the whole human race."
God intended marital love to mirror His love for people in a unique and precious way. Think how serious that makes marriage! If you choose wisely, your marriage can be a powerful testimony of God's gracious love. But if you choose poorly, not only do you miss the privilege of reflecting His love, but you also risk distorting the way others perceive that love.
God also designed marriage for the purpose of completing and complementing His children. It's no surprise that we all have needs ("gaps") that we can't fill on our own. Instead of filling them directly, the Lord sometimes elects to use other people.
When He created Eve for Adam, the Lord made it clear that she was a helper and completer for him (Genesis 2:18). Only together did Adam and Eve make creation "very good" (1:31). The husband-wife relationship is complementary and fulfilling in a way no other relationships can be.
In the film Rocky, the tough-as-nails prizefighter meets and falls in love with shy Adrian, who works in a local pet shop. Adrian's brother Paulie, a lowlife character who works in a meat factory and aspires to become a debt collector for Philadelphia loan sharks, can't understand what Rocky sees in his sister.
"I don't get it," he says. "What's the attraction?"
In his husky, muddled speech, Rocky voices, "I dunno. Fills gaps, I guess."
"What gaps?" Paulie questions incredulously.
"She's got gaps. I got gaps. Together we fill gaps."
If you want to find someone whom God can use to "fill gaps" in your life, you need to make careful decisions. The Lord desires and intends to use your spouse to mold and complete you. Wait for a person with whom you can unite to be "very good" in His sight.
Not-So-Perfect Storms
Finally, we want to mention one more reason that marriage is such a huge decision.
Without sin, maybe marriage wouldn't be such a huge decision. Sinless spouses wouldn't argue or hurt each other, so you could probably marry whomever you wanted and be happy. But let's get back to the real world. Since sin perverted God's intentions for marriage, we must face the reality that marriage will be difficult and trying at times. To weather the inevitable storms of marriage, you need to make smart decisions starting with your first date.
And there will be storms. "No one has ever been married," writes Mason, "without being shocked at the enormity of this price and at the monstrous inconvenience of this thing called intimacy which suddenly invades one's life."
Mason likens the trouble to a massive tree, which sprouts and grows in the middle of your house. There's no way to maneuver or live without constant thought and deference to the tree. You must change your patterns and lifestyle to fit with it.
Marriage changes your life, and we both can tell you that sometimes you won't like the changes. You'll even get annoyed at "little things"your wife likes chocolate more than "real food," or your husband needs every tool on the Sears Craftsman shelf.
What's worse, you'll find yourself arguing over these petty things as if they were life-and-death matters. You'll slam doors or yell or cry over whether he rinsed his dish well enough or whether she bought the right kind of milk.
Marriage doesn't lessen the struggles of life. In fact, in some ways it heightens and highlights them, making them more painful because they're now doubly personal. Two people sharing each other's burdens (or creating burdens for each other) make the heartaches of life more keen. Robert Louis Stevenson once said that marriage is like lifeit's a field of battle and not a bed of roses.
You will face difficulties in your marriage, and one of the best ways we know to mitigate those struggles is to have carefully decided whom you will marry. Hold out for someone with whom you can struggle and grow, not struggle and give up.
Now and Later
Marriagethe wonderful gift which made the "not good" of man's loneliness into a "very good" proposition ... the terrific privilege a man and woman have to reflect God's love ... the gracious place in which gaps can be filled ... and the field of battle in which hearts are strengthened through paincannot be entered into lightly.
Choose wisely both now and later. Right now, learn to develop relationships with men and women who resemble someone you would want to marry. Eventually, you may make the life-changing decision to take the vows of marriage. Having trained yourself to recognize godly companions along the way will make your choice of a spouse a more secure one.

Academy-Award winner Steven Spielberg is "heading Down Under" to shoot a new dinosaur epic for the small screen.
The director, renowned for his Jurassic Park movies, will work with the extinct reptiles again in "Terra Nova" – an expensive series that will see scientists return to prehistoric Earth.
Spielberg has chosen southeast Queensland in Australia as the location for his new show and is reported to cost a staggering 2.6 million pound-per-episode.
"Queensland had the right look, climate and terrain, a vibrant production community and attractive economic incentives. We are very excited to be shooting our first production there," the Daily Star quoted Jim Sharp of Fox Television as saying.
Irish actor Jason O"Mara is reportedly being cast to play the show"s lead.
The show will air on the Fox network.

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has filed an urgent application with the country's top court to push back crucial elections by two weeks, following pressure by regional leaders.
Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa told AFP he had filed papers on Tuesday that sought "a postponement of the date for the harmonised elections from July 31, 2013 to August 14, 2013."
The announcement comes just days after Southern African leaders pressed Mugabe to delay the polls to allow more time for democratic reforms.
In setting the original election date, Mugabe had said he was complying with the constitutional court's ruling to hold elections by July 31.
The elections will choose a successor to Zimbabwe's uncomfortable power-sharing government, which was forged four years ago as a path away from a decade of political violence.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, a long-time Mugabe rival, has called for reforms -- to free the media, depoliticise the security services and make sure the electoral roll is accurate -- before the vote is held.
It was not immediately clear whether the court would grant the extension, or whether two more weeks will be enough to see Tsvangirai's demands met.
Civil society groups welcomed the prospect of an extra two weeks to allow for the completion of the voter registration process.
But, they said, the extra time would do little to change deeply-ingrained attitudes or dissuade Mugabe's supporters from voter intimidation.
"Fourteen days may be enough to change the laws... but not enough to bring really change on the ground," Trust Mhanda a member of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human rights, told AFP in Johannesburg.
"It must not just be a legal change, but that law must be implemented on the ground, and 14 days is not enough for that."
Leaders from the Southern African Development Community had on Saturday flexed their muscles and issued an unusual rebuke of Mugabe, asking that he go back to the court and seek a delay.
The SADC summit called on all parties to "create a conducive environment for the holding of peaceful, credible, free and fair elections".
"During proceedings at the said summit, I, in particular was directed to make an urgent application before this honourable court to seek a postponement," Chinamasa's filing read.
"In my capacity as the minister responsible for the administration of the electoral act, I pray for an order for the extension of the elections to the 14th of August."
Activists have also expressed scepticism the application to the Constitutional Court could be an academic exercise, to be seen to be complying with the SADC's decision.
"You get the sense that their approaching the court is a compliance issue rather than anything else," Thabani Nyoni, spokesman of the Crisis Coalition in Zimbabwe said.
"There is no political will per se to really convince the courts to change its decision," he said.
"Its a non-committal application, which is actually... setting up the court to say 'there was no sufficient evidence to convince us of the importance of this going forward,'" said Nyoni.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- There's one very obvious thing about the
2011 Tennessee Volunteers: They're extremely young.
Coach Derek Dooley says that's just a description of the team
and not an excuse for failure. Tennessee has been plagued the past few seasons by player attrition from back-to-back coaching transitions, and the Vols have had their fair share of injuries too.
That's left them with just 26 upperclassmen on scholarship, compared to 27 sophomores and 26 freshmen. Still, there's a lot of talent and potential among the Vols' youngest players.
Many current sophomores saw playing time last season, though Dooley wants more consistency from them. He also expects freshmen to contribute again this season.
The Vols were picked to finish fourth in the Southeastern Conference's East Division and open Sept. 3 at home against Montana.

My first Ham Radio contact was on 10-Meter CW with KB6QLI as N8MCF on 16-Apr-90. I was quickly joined in this hobby by my dad (N8HG/SK 16-Mar-2012), Mom (KB8MMA/SK 29-Dec-2011), XYL (N8TPF/SK 21-Aug-05), and finally by my son-in-law (KB8UPU).
Upon upgrading to Extra class N8MCF was replaced as AA8RB from 26-Nov-94 until I obtained the current call sign consisting of my initials on 12-Feb-97.
A former two-time President of the Kalamazoo Amateur Radio Club, I was an active participant in the Kalamazoo County Michigan Ham Radio activities which included ARES/RACES, Sky Warn, and the the local ARRL VE Testing program.
A Worked-All-States certificate number 1889 was issued to me for confirming contact with hams holding Extra-Class-formatted call signs in the 75-meter SSB Extra-Class band.
I also enjoy 10-Meters (10X #55489), have sent in logs for both a CW and SSB ARRL November Sweepstakes, am an ex MARS member (AAV5UO), and I especially enjoy rag-chewing around 7.030 mhz in QRP CW (FISTS #4106) and working DX on 20 Meter Phone.
I went off the air on 5-Apr-04 with my contact #7368; and am now back on the air as of 7-Nov-11 beginning with contact with my local friend, N8XCP - so any QSO's during that period will be reported as Not In Log.
My station is simple at this time: a Kenwood TS-850S exciting a Kenwood TL-922A at 1KW into an old Cushcraft R7 (seven band) vertical (mounted on the garage).
It's great to be Vertical!
