I was just thinking about Jesus tonight. I asked God to hold me in awe of Christmas, of the incarnation, of the unfolding of his salvation plan.
It may have happened.
What if Christmas has far more to do with losing, giving away, and outright poverty than anything else? While it's true that we traditionally give gifts, there is this flip side of getting what we want. So if anything, Christmas is about maintaining an equal balance. We give gifts to people who are giving gifts to us and everything balances out, each left in the same place as before.
Nothing changes, only we let other people buy things for us that we wouldn't normally go out and purchase.
But the Christmas story is about God emptying himself, becoming poor, risking it all, and becoming a part of creation in order to make us rich, spiritually rich that is. In other words, God takes a "loss" and we score a "gain." The rich becomes poor and the poor become rich.
Such a thought is startling to me.
We can keep the evening out, balanced approach to Christmas because it's fun and because it's now part of our North American tradition. It's not mandatory, but it's certainly not wrong.
But what seems to be mandatory is the need to give to those who cannot give back, to give in such a way that redemption and justice can happen. Wouldn't it be amazing to give because of what God has done? What a fantastic way to embody and share the Gospel.

Honey Lemon (Aiko Miyazaki) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is commonly associated with the Japanese team known as Big Hero 6. She was created by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau, and first appeared in Sunfire & Big Hero 6 #1 (September 1998).
Publication history[edit]
Created by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau in their spare time while working on another project, Honey Lemon was first intended to appear with the rest of Big Hero 6 in Alpha Flight #17 (December 1998). However, the team first appeared in their own self-titled three-issue miniseries by writer Scott Lobdell and artist Gus Vasquez, which due to scheduling issues, was published before Alpha Flight #17.[1][2] The character appeared with the team in a subsequent five-issue miniseries which was launched by Marvel Comics in September 2008.
Fictional character biography[edit]
Aiko Miyazaki was enrolled in the graduate program at the Tokyo University of Science when she was recruited by Naikaku Jōhō Chōsashitsu (Naichō), Japan's premiere intelligence agency. Miyazaki's sharp intellect and stunning looks made her a prime candidate for secret agent status, and she was promptly placed on a research and development team consisting of Naichō's top physicists, chemists, and mechanical engineers and put to work creating new technology for the government. Although Miyazaki's team was responsible for several innovations in surveillance technology, by far their most significant invention was a cluster of artificial, miniature wormholes—tiny warps and distortions in the fabric of space-time. At Miyazaki's suggestion, the wormholes were contained within an innocuous woman's purse so they could be applied in the field without attracting undue attention. It was soon discovered that the wormholes, in conjunction with Pym Particles and cutting-edge nanotechnology, served as ideal storage devices in the field—virtually any object, no matter how large, could be stored in Miyazaki's aptly-named "Power Purse" for later use.[3]
Soon after, the top-secret consortium of Japanese politicians and business entities known as the Giri began recruiting candidates for Big Hero 6, which was to become Japan's premiere superhero team. Inspired by the exploits of Sunfire (Shiro Yoshida), Japan's national superhero, Miyazaki persuasively lobbied her superiors in Naichō for a spot on the team. Graduating to full-fledged "secret agent" status, Miyazaki adopted the code-name "Honey Lemon" (inspired by her favorite television program of the same name). As the most caring and compassionate member of the team, Honey Lemon quickly found herself at odds with teammate Go-Go Tomago (Leiko Tanaka), a tough-talking ex-convict who felt that Honey Lemon received special treatment because of her looks and intellect. However, after several heated squabbles, the two eventually learned to appreciate one another and became good friends.[3]
She seemingly became attracted to the team's newest potential recruit, Hiro Takachiho, as she kept smiling at him in a flirtatious way. Later, Honey helped overthrow a menace called Everwraith and saved Japan from destruction.[volume & issue needed]
She was only briefly seen afterwards, helping Sunfire out in Canada.[volume & issue needed] Sometime later, a mysterious individual used a machine to mind-control the entire team of Big Hero Six and they were sent to Canada once again, where they fought the newest incarnation of Alpha Flight until Sasquatch discovered the plot. Honey Lemon was, along with the rest of the team, brought back to normal, and they all returned to Japan to try to discover who mind-controlled them.[4]
Powers and abilities[edit]
Honey Lemon's Power Purse (also known as the "Nano-Purse") contains a series of miniature, artificial, inter-universe wormholes, granting her limited access to an indeterminate number of worlds and dimensions. The unstable, fluctuating nature of the wormholes makes accurate long-term mapping of them difficult. Before deploying in the field, Honey Lemon typically gathers a large arsenal of supplies, shrinks them to microscopic size using a combination of Pym Particles and cutting-edge nanotechnology, and stores them in miniature pocket universes only accessible via the Power Purse's wormholes. As such, she is able to instantaneously retrieve these items from the Power Purse and restore them to their original size while in the field.[3]
The Power Purse's wormholes also grant access to a number of full-sized, inhabited dimensions. For instance, the Microverse planet of Coronar (home world of former Big Hero 6 member Sunpyre) is accessible through the Power Purse. The total number of dimensions accessible via the Power Purse has yet to be determined. Although Honey Lemon can use the Power Purse's wormholes as a method of personal transportation, she only does so in rare instances when her life is in danger, as a trip through the Power Purse is often a very unpleasant experience for carbon-based lifeforms.[3]
Honey Lemon is a brilliant scientist who often keeps her opponents off-guard by feigning ignorance. As a secret agent of the Naichō intelligence agency, she is extensively trained in various martial arts, including aikido, judo, jujutsu, karate, Shaolin kung fu and tae kwon do.[3]

Walt Disney Animation Studios reimagining of Honey Lemon
|First appearance

|Voiced by
|Génesis Rodríguez
Honey Lemon appears in Big Hero 6, voiced by Génesis Rodríguez.[5][6] In the film, Honey Lemon is depicted as a quirky chemistry whiz at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Co-director Chris Williams said "She's a glass-is-half-full kind of person. But she has this mad-scientist quality with a twinkle in her eye — there's more to Honey than it seems."[6][7][8] Her name is a nickname that was thought of by Fred. This version wears a robotic suit that was built by Hiro with a mechanical purse that can mix different chemical elements, allowing her to create balls that she can use as explosives, traps, or safe exits.

About this recipe:
Rich in colour and texture, and boldly flavoured with fresh blackberries and feta cheese, this salad is gorgeous.
This was an interesting dish and something nice to serve. My husband liked it very much. Used balsamic vinegar as a dressing.
- 07 Aug 2008
We enjoyed this. As an experiment we also tried red raspberries, strawberries and also good. One note; add rest of salad things and toss and add berries last so they won't crumble. Thanks for sharing.
- 07 Aug 2008
This salad was a huge hit at our family barbecue. The blackberries were hard to toss so next time I will add them last.

Watch: Full-length 'Hunger Games' trailer gives us good look at Katniss Everdeen's world
Well, here it is.
I've gotten to the point where I was tuning out any and all talk about "The Hunger Games" because I didn't want to feel exhausted by the movie before I ended up getting a chance to see it.
Today, I'm ready to take a look at the new trailer and finally get a real look at what it is that Gary Ross has done adapting this monster hit series of books into what Lionsgate hopes is going to be a monster hit series of films.
I watched the trailer twice this morning, and my reaction so far is that it looks like Ross has done it. It's a tonally interesting bit of world building based on the footage we've seen here, and I'm really liking the sense of reality that the trailer establishes. Jennifer Lawrence looks like she's going to be a strong presence as Katniss Everdeen, the girl who is chosen to compete in The Hunger Games, a gladiator battle to the death that's held once a year in The Capitol. We get a glimpse of almost everyone in the trailer, including Donald Sutherland, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, and, of course, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson as the two young men who represent different paths Katniss might take in her life.
The big question with a trailer like this is "How does it communicate to someone who hasn't read the books?", and it seems to me like it's cut to introduce the ideas and the characters. I think it cleanly explains the premise, and I love the way it builds to the start of the Games and then wraps it up immediately. It makes it look like they haven't shied away from the brutal nature of the Games, while still trying to make something that can play to a broad audience. This is never going to be as bloody and disturbing as something like "Battle Royale," but it does seem like they're going to make it pay off as a tough emotional ride.
So I ask you… if you've read the books, does this work with what you imagined? And if you haven't read them, did you get a good impression of what the film's going to be like from this? I think it's a solid effort, if not amazing, and I'm curious how you'd rate it.
"The Hunger Games" arrives in theaters March 23, 2012.

Rev. SlappyI like how the trailer ends right as the games begin. Most trailers give away way too much and I think this did a great job of explaining the premise while creating interest in what happens once the games begin.November 14, 2011 at 1:39PM ESTReply to Comment
Stormshadow4lifeI read the books, and think the trailer looks pretty good. Prim being called, and then Katniss volunteering looked to be about perfect. I didn't picture Effie or Haymitch to look like that at all though. And I didn't really picture District 12 looking that clean (or the fence being that small). I have been burned too many by poor adaptations of good books, so I'll be taking a wait and see attitude with this.
On a side note, I really hope the movie's actual music is as nice as the trailer's.November 14, 2011 at 1:46PM ESTReply to Comment
NicoleThat's so true, I didn't even think about that. I need to watch the trailer again. I hope they don't make the District looking too shiny! Everything is supposed to be covered in coal dust!November 14, 2011 at 2:42PM EST
HISLOCALAdapted work is always going to look different than you pictured, but you can't get bogged down by the appearance of the fence, of all things.....the movie has to successfully convey the book's major themes of life and death, sacrifice, and oppression, and yet here we are discussing the appearance of the fence.November 14, 2011 at 3:29PM EST
Stormshadow4lifeMaybe you're actually focusing a little too much on a throw away comment about a fence. Drew asked for how it worked with what we imagined...so we answered. sheeshNovember 14, 2011 at 6:41PM EST
mizzrandom95So far..exactly how I thought it would be!November 14, 2011 at 1:48PM ESTReply to Comment
Dryden (guest)I have not read the books. I like the quieter moments at the start of the trailer. Some of the stuff with the big entity running things looks terrible. What's with Wes Bently's facial hair and Donald Southerland's...everything? What's with the neon city that looks like a reject from a Schumacher Batman movie? I guess it's meant to show how brazen and outlandish this group is compared to the smaller colonies, but the design on it looks bad to me. And I've got to wonder how a tentpole film that's supposed to launch a YA franchise is going to get away with onscreen violence with kids. I guess I'm interested, but this doesn't make me want to run out and read the books.November 14, 2011 at 2:03PM ESTReply to Comment
SKThe Capitol's fashions are supposed to be crazy and outlandish in contrast to the drabness of the oppressed districts. I think what we see in the trailer is less brazen than described in the book, but it's hard to tell overall design with a few glimpses. I'm very interested in how it'll look in the film. As for the books, they're quick, engaging reads. Not as good as HP but very entertaining and nowhere near as bad as certain vampire love stories.November 14, 2011 at 2:41PM EST
JohnThat's how it's supposed to be. The city people are supposed to be crazy and weird looking. The buildings are supposed to be outlandish.November 14, 2011 at 2:48PM EST
MatthewLAs others have said, the Capital residents are supposed to be ridiculous and garish. Their lives are all about complete indulgence and operating on a mere whim. In fact, there's a character in the third book we meet who has made herself look like a cat - complete with fake whiskers. (In that case, that was a step too far even for the capital, and when we meet her the character has been shunned by society. But the fact that fake cat whiskers could even be considered shows what fashion is like in that world.)November 15, 2011 at 8:13PM EST
LissaNever judge a book by its movie. I would say that 99% of movies based on books can't even compare.November 16, 2011 at 7:32PM EST
SazzyMCH (guest)I think it looks great! I've only recently read the first book so it's still pretty fresh in my mind but it looks pretty close to how I've envisaged it. And I too like how it gets us to the start of the games and then ends..........November 14, 2011 at 2:12PM ESTReply to Comment
mmcb105The books are pretty entertaining, and not at all what I was expecting going in. They make some interesting comments on the nature of media/celebrity relationships. Hopefully that stays intact. The trailer at least strikes the right tone, though, so I'm optimistic.
November 14, 2011 at 2:48PM ESTReply to Comment
CaseyMooreYou know, I have yet to read the books, and this trailer did nothing to really sell me on wanting to see this movie. I will watch it again later to see, but all it did was make me want to see Jennifer Lawrence in something meatier.November 14, 2011 at 3:06PM ESTReply to Comment
Dave IIt seems part "The Lottery" and part "Battle Royale."
It looks good. I liked Battle Royale (the book), and this one seems maybe a bit more fleshed out as far as the story and presumably quite a bit less gory. I hope it has some of the same observations about society that Battle Royale (and The Lottery) make as far as what people will tolerate a/o celebrate, and what we will go through to survive, etc., etc. It could be really good, maybe even truly great
I agree with Rev. Slappy that it's nice the trailer ended BEFORE the games began. Let us have something left to imagine about instead of showing us the whole movie's highlight reel.
I suppose I'll have to check out the books. Maybe keep them in mind when my kids get a bit older.

DefRefI hadn't finished a fiction book in a decade before reading The Hunger Games (I'm currently a half-dozen chapters into Catching Fire) but this trailer looks pretty good except for the people of District 12 looking too pretty, clean and well-fed. Frankly, I was picturing Winter's Bone folks while reading it, so for a poor West Virginia mining town of barely subsisting people, it's hard to see how someone like a slimmed-down Jennifer Lawrence (as opposed to her normal voluptuousness - see X-Men) would happen.November 14, 2011 at 5:19PM ESTReply to Comment
RoadshowI have read the books and although I liked the first one, I found the second one and especially the third ones to be really poorly written.
Having said that, I think this looks amazing.
I'm very happy that they've decided to go down what seems to be an almost grittily realistic road and bring the Districts and the Capitol to wildly varied life.
To my mind, the first shot of the Capitol did look wierdly out of synch with the look of everything else (i.e. clearly fake when all else is so strong) and Effie did look a little too grotesque for a character whom we ultimately sympathise with but it seems churlish to pick these differences of interpretation when of course the film makers have their version to tell and seem to have gotten so much right.
Jennifer Lawrence looks like she's going to do the business too.
Count me in.

Megalodon (guest)As a complete stranger to this series, watching the trailer just now, I find it mildly intriguing. I of course can't get that happy thrill of recognition, and I'm rather saddened by that. I've not heard of this "monster hit series of books" outside of this blog, actually. All I would ask of the trailer is perhaps just a little clarification. I don't know whether this is supposed to be our world, in the future, or some parallel world or alternate timeline. So it was just a teensy bit disorienting because of that. Then again, perhaps I've gotten too used to trailers that completely hit you over the head with expository voice-overs as soon as it begins.November 14, 2011 at 5:51PM ESTReply to Comment
maryploppinsI read the books in June after I had seen a bunch of movie casting news on various websites that I frequent, and the synopsis of the story intrigued me. I loved the books, and I gotta say, I am seriously loving this trailer. I am still a bit nervous about how they'll handle the arena part of the story, but the tone they have struck with this trailer gives me a good amount of confidence. I love the way they cut the trailer too, how it ends with the countdown to "releasing" the tributes into the arena. Gave me chills, I'm not gonna lie.
It's hard for me to tell how I would feel about this trailer if I had never heard of these books. Well, actually, I am 100% sure that it would strongly intrigue ME enough to immediately go buy the books, BUT I'm obviously the target audience (I'm female and I have a major love for any solid story with a strong female protagonist). So that's kind of a given. But I dunno how someone like, say, a 35 year old man would react to this. Which is partly because I didn't force my husband to watch it this morning, LOL. At the very least, I hope that demographic must be more interested by this than the other book-to-movie series that HG keeps unfortunately getting compared to – Twilight. :shudder:November 14, 2011 at 6:17PM ESTReply to Comment
MatthewLSpeaking as a 33-year-old man who is a fan of the books (I read them over Christmas because I heard about the film and the premise sounded interesting): I was really impressed with the trailer.
I was glad about the almost complete removal of arena action from the trailer (other than that final five seconds, the only arena scene we see is Katniss saluting District 11), and was also glad we only saw the "girl on fire" from a very long distance - a shot where if you don't know what you're looking at, it's not clear what it is. I'm glad if they're keeping that moment secret for the actual film.
It's a really good trailer. I like that they've set up the entire story without spoiling ANYTHING about the actual bulk of the movie. An impressive piece of work.November 15, 2011 at 8:20PM EST
maryploppinsThanks for the insight MatthewL, looks like there's at least another couple 30-something guys commenting here who are liking the trailer/HG too. I totally agree with you about the trailer - I think it was a really good move to end this trailer the way they did without giving away too much. And as much as I want to get some glimpses into the arena stuff before the movie comes out ... I think it'll be better if we don't see it because I don't want to get spoiled too much.November 16, 2011 at 4:09AM EST
DAGOBAHI've read the books.
I'd have to agree that the whole look and feel of District 12 looks a bit "safe" and polished. To be honest the whole vibe of the trailer feels a bit too safe for my liking... But maybe when we see places like The Hob etc. and see the violence and murder of the games it'll fall more in line with the books.
However, this trailer was obviously created to go on the front of Twilight: Breaking Wind Part 1, which would mean it had the goal to attract and interest 12-16 y.o. girls, 35-45 y.o. women who miss their youth, and creepy old men i.e. the Twilight audience.
So I have faith that the actual film will include the grittier vibe it deserves (and I think there's still time for another trailer before the film releases)
All this said, it's still pretty cool to see Panem come to life....November 14, 2011 at 7:03PM ESTReply to Comment
jenI've read the books and so far, trailer looks to be true to the story and how I imagined it with the exception of District 12- I expected it to look more daunting. Really looking forward to this movie.November 14, 2011 at 11:01PM ESTReply to Comment
forgI haven't read the novels but I must say Jennifer Lawrence's screen presence in the movie's trailer piqued my interest. I'll likely check this one out to see Jennifer's performance The trailer is good too especially the countdown part,goosebumps!
Even if I don't know the story I think this trailer will attract non-readers/casual moviegoers like me check this one outNovember 15, 2011 at 3:25AM ESTReply to Comment
LemuelG (guest)As a matter of fact, there is very little to be seen from District 12 apart from the Reaping - which, if I remember correctly, takes place with all the boys and girls donning their best clothes (so I don't mind they look clean).
I am really impressed by the trailer, it plays out way better than I expected/feared, and they seem to have included very many smaller details that just make me happy. After the Reaping scene, I am also pretty much sold on Jennifer Lawrence now, although I still don't like her hair being maximized in volume.
As a guy in his early 30s, I was amazed how little this is a book series for teenage girls. As a matter of fact, the young adult target group seemed pretty much like nothing but promising literary marketing to me. I firmly believe that this is going to be a four-quadrant hit in Lionsgate's hands if they don't mishandle it - as a matter of fact, I could not stop thinking about what an amazing film that first book would make when reading it a year ago.
Can't wait.November 15, 2011 at 9:59AM ESTReply to Comment

Reviews for African and American Friendship, Inc.
African and American Friendship Inc. is an organization that supports youth-leadership development in the Boston area. As a tutor a few years ago, I have seen how their programs has helped hundreds of youths make something positive out of their lives. From summer job placements to helping the youths gained entrance into post-secondary institutions, this organization has lived up to its expectation. They have accomplish so much with very limited funding. I have never seen a leader as hard working and relentless as Alusaine Deen. Their focus of helping disadvantaged and at risk youths is exemplary. This is an organization that has proven results and can be counted on. I can only imagine how much more they can do with adequate funding. If anyone in the Boston area is looking for a program for their kids, this is the right place to go because I have seen how it has impacted the lives of these youths. Najimu Gabisi.

Label: Synthematik | Format: Digital | Date: 26.09.2011 | Style: Tribal / Dark Ambient / Rhythmic Noise
Rating: 7/10
It is not a secret, that industrial music is explored already for three decades. So many things were played, so many subgenres invented. There is a huge field for experimentations, and many bands try to mix their own cocktails of different genres, cultures and instruments as the goal to create something special, that can refresh the genre. That's why, there are some guys here and there, which try to look at tribal and new age through the prism of industrial music. Here is one of them, located somewhere in a distant Ukraine, and he brings us one solid piece of an album, called 'Lost Cities'. It is already his second creation during the last year and sure, I didn't expect it to be that good, because the theme to discover is really hard. One has always to remember that it is industrial music and it should stay industrial, otherwise it can turn it to one more pathetic tribal electronic album.
So, what do we have here? The CD starts with three amazing tracks, which blast me and make me sink into the atmosphere of lost civilizations, exactly as the name of the album says. The compositions are full of rhythm, full of power that fire me up. A complex mix of eastern percussions presents during all the album run and give it an exact touch of an ancient mysticism together with a modern type of harsh electronics, which is so significant to the tribal electronic music. The mix of different styles is so thick, that sometimes it is hard to navigate through them, but the structure that they create is fascinating indeed. For example, "Lost Cities" is a track that starts with a mid tempo gloomy layers and by the end transforms into mix on rhythmic noise and even break core. The third track, "Having a Knife" is the most rhythmic and danceable, which will suit the djeys between us that will definitely use it to shake the dance floor. Though the album opens with the powerful charge, slowly it starts to lose its identity with more easy listening tracks, when some of the slow parts are little bit overextended, like the opening 5-6 minutes of the composition "Naked Pursuit". But still, the gloomy atmosphere remains to keep me entertained until the end of the very last composition. The music stays to be organized and not chaotic, while the main aspect of its pressure is the exploration of the darkest and scariest corners of the human history, full of blood sacrifices and worshiping of the cruel gods.
To summarize what had been said, Ruga roo – the man behind Na-Hag, presents us with this album a true piece of a solid and rhythmic music, and has a great opportunity to compete with such monsters like This Morn Omina, Ah-Cama Sotz and others in the never ending run to capture the hearts of the listeners.

A very nice villa with enough space for a large family. Clean and fully furnished. Nice location with a view of the beach and private pool
The only thing to take into consideration is to select nice weather to fully enjoy the stay
Many thanks to the owner Kevin for this opportunity to enjoy his villa
Fantastic stay - this property is spacious, luxurious and super clean. Resident caretaker/driver makes for a completely stress free holiday. We would wholly recommend this property for any family looking for holiday in Dubai.
Absolutely fabulous holiday in every way, Kevin the owner was so easy to deal with and was always available to help and advise , a special mention also for Hanish who was such a lovely person and was always available to run us around and recommend restaurants , a truly sincere person , we would love to return again as everyone in the party of 8 had and unforgettable holiday
Thank you so much Kevin and Hanish
Wow what a great place for all the family
Hannish who looks after the place is great always there for you
Give him a pay rise he deserves it
Top place thanks
Regards Peter
everything is perfect except that my colleagues were saying that there was not much toiletries (shower cap, Cotton buds etc), there was no separate towels for pool/beach use, and in the 5 days we've stayed the towels were not changed so we were using our towels for both pool/beach use and bathroom use. However these small things did not deter us from having the grandest time in our lives in Dubai. No complaints whatsoever to hanish who made sure we were all comfortable and he's on the call every time we need him for whatever reason. We travelled to Dubai as small corporate company and this is was the perfect villa for everyone. If you need or want anything ask hanish he's gonna be your best friend for your duration of the stay in this spectacular villa!
This was probably the best holiday we have ever had. Beautiful villa, beautiful location, incredibly professional. Hanish couldn't have been more helpful. Cannot wait to go back.

To Leave a Shadow by Michael Graves – a 2016 Kansas Notable Book.
Pete Stone hadn't always been a private eye. He'd lost his dairy business at the toss of a coin when the depression hit. His children grew up, as children do, and his wife left him for a chinchilla farmer. He had learned to like his solitude. When Mrs. Lucille Hamilton walked through his door searching for her missing husband, Pete was the only one who believed her husband's death hadn't been a suicide.
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.
