Nothing too surprising there, we might think, especially if we remember our bible stories, or have seen Charlton Heston strutting his stuff in The Ten Commandments. But then something utterly unexpected happens. Not only do Pharaoh's fortune-tellers and magicians imitate the trick with their own wooden rods; they laugh in Moses' face and throw themselves into a song-and-dance routine that fills the screen with flying playing- cards, spinning plates and multi-coloured ribbons. "You're playing with the big boys now," they snarl.
The courtiers have so much fun lording it over the would-be deliverer of the Israelites that they don't see what is going on. Moses' serpent swallows the other serpents whole, just like it says in the Bible, but quietly, in a corner and out of sight. It is a sophisticated irony: instead of making Pharaoh gasp and quake at this demonstration of superior power, as the traditional accounts do, the film-makers let the whole thing pass him by, a sign of the blinding arrogance that will lead to his downfall.
The Prince of Egypt is full of such narrative tricks, a sure sign of its ambition to reach beyond the traditional audience for animated films - young children and their somewhat reluctant parents. The story is so densely and ingeniously told that one wonders how easy it will be for viewers not familiar with the Moses saga to follow. It is not only Rameses who fails to notice the serpents devouring each other; a five-year-old might easily miss it too.
Such are the risks being taken by DreamWorks, the infant studio set up by three of the biggest players in Hollywood - Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. It is making no bones about its ambition to out-Disney Disney with this project.
Katzenberg, in particular, has shown his determination to break new ground. As head of production at Disney for 10 years, he was the man responsible for such hits as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast - and The Lion King. Now, having quit Disney and taken much of the cream of his creative team there with him, he hopes to push animation into new areas. These days he is thought of as a mogul, but he retained overall creative responsibility for The Prince of Egypt as executive producer.
"Prince of Egypt does not have the beautiful simplicity of a classic Disney cartoon," he said. "It is not a fairy-tale with good guys and villains, where good triumphs over evil. The ideas are complex, the issues are ambiguous and grey. We wanted to tell a different kind of story in a different kind of way." In other words, DreamWorks wanted to break animation out of the straitjacket of children's films and turn it into something else - grand spectacle. The Moses story has been imbued with every kind of significance down the ages, from the birth of monotheism to the establishment of Jewish law, to the struggle between tyranny and freedom. In DreamWorks' hands, it is essentially an adventure story, starting with a teenage Moses joyriding in a chariot with the young Prince Rameses and culminating in the ultimate animator's challenge, the parting and crossing of the Red Sea.
The Moses we see is not the stern lawgiver, but an ordinary guy subjected to extraordinary circumstances. He is as dwarfed by events as the audience (Dreamworks hopes) will be by the visual fireworks on screen. The epic scale can be felt not only in the film itself - the scenes of the exodus feature nearly 150,000 fully animated figures - but also in the way that it has been marketed. Next week the film is released simultaneously in 40 countries, with a record 7,500 cinema screens expected to be showing it in the week before Christmas. It will either be a raging success on a global scale, or an ignominious failure. The strategy, a first for an industry that generally likes to test its products country by country, does not leave room for half-measures.
DreamWorks is bucking conventional wisdom in other ways, too. Partly because of the religious theme, there will be no mass merchandising of cuddly toys, games or plastic figures given away with fast-food meals - a time-honoured way for successful animation films to rake in the extra money they need to justify their exorbitant costs. Indeed, Katzenberg appears to have a big investment in making the film appear purer than pure. To make sure it won't offend anyone, he brought in nearly 700 consultants from three world religions - everyone from Billy Graham to Jesse Jackson to the Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles. The film insists, in a prefatory statement of intent, that it is true to the "essence, values and integrity" of the Biblical story, despite its departures from the plot and its artistic liberties.
Could the whole exercise be a colossal delusion doomed to failure? Jim Katz, a feature animation producer, isn't sure. "Everybody in this industry says 'we don't want to do what Disney does'. But that's why they're in the game. They all want a piece of Disney's pie, except that Disney still does it better than anyone," he said. "Anything animated is bound to be geared for kids. I mean, I'll go and see Prince of Egypt because I'm in the business and I want to see what they've done. But I don't see too many single men in Oklahoma buying the same argument. It's the kids who will make or break this film." In DreamWorks' favour is the fact there has probably never been a better time to challenge Disney. Animation, which not so long ago was seen as a pleasant but not unduly significant sideline in the film business, has turned into one of the biggest money- spinners of all. Partly this is because of changing demographics in the United States: there are a lot of children out there demanding to be entertained at the cinema. Partly it is down to the success of individual films such as The Lion King, which have encouraged studios to invest in producing more animated features like it.
And partly it is the rapid advance in technology, which has burst open the possibilities of what can be depicted on screen. Computer graphics have become so advanced that it is possible to make an entire film with them (Toy Story, made by the Disney subsidiary Pixar, was the first, followed now by two insect movies, DreamWorks' Antz and Disney's A Bug's Life).
Digital compositing has made it possible to pile layer upon layer of action onto the same image. One innovation heralded by The Prince of Egypt is a so-called exposure tool, enabling three-dimensional computer images and conventional hand drawings to be blended seamlessly.
In many ways, animation is the quintessential cinematic form of the 1990s. Live-action films, particularly the action-adventure blockbusters currently favoured by the big studios, are coming to depend more and more on cartoon- style story-boarding and computerised special effects. The animation industry has been influenced just as much by Titanic, Twister and Terminator II as it has by its own output. Where the technology is shown to work and be profitable in one medium, it is willingly adopted in another.
DreamWorks may lack Disney's name and 70-year tradition, not to speak of its extraordinary corporate marketing clout, but it has two powerful weapons up its sleeve. The first is Katzenberg, who represents the heart of the Disney revival of the early 1990s and has dozens of former Disney animators now working for him. And the second is Steven Spielberg, a director who helped pioneer the live-action cinema-as-cartoon style, particularly in the Indiana Jones series. There are moments in Prince of Egypt - the furious-paced chariot race near the beginning being a case in point - when you feel transported straight into Spielberg territory, with his trademark thrills and plot twists.
"Steven acted as the ultimate sounding-board for this film. We brought him in as much as we could," explained Katzenberg. According to one of DreamWorks' own creation myths, it was Spielberg who first came up with the idea of an animated version of the Moses story. Katzenberg outlined the kind of story he was looking for, Spielberg casually mentioned the Ten Commandments, and David Geffen said: "What a great idea." Beyond the mythologising, it is undoubtedly true that DreamWorks, as a young company, has more opportunities to inject fresh ideas and introduce novel approaches to animated film-making. The Disney formula, what Katzenberg calls "a beautifully designed conceit", has the kind of proven track record that makes management at Disney itself very reluctant to tamper with it.
"What we hear is that DreamWorks is more receptive to new technologies and more flexible about using them. They can also achieve the same things as us more cheaply," said a computer software specialist at Disney who asked not to be named. "Here at Disney there's a lot of tradition to fight." Katzenberg insists he has nothing but fond memories of his time at Disney (though he is currently embroiled in a bitter multi-million dollar severance dispute with his former employers). One can't help wondering, though, if there isn't a Hollywood in-joke buried in his first choice of post- Disney animation movie. Could it be that Katzenberg begged Disney chief Michael Eisner to "let his people go" before leading the exodus into Steven Spielberg's promised land? This time, though, it won't be God on Mount Sinai laying down the new law, but the holiday crowds as they deliver their verdict at the cinema ticket-office.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 16, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas Scott Haring Standings ncauci Luooco vvuioi iou i lai I ii ly Gee, this weekly sports column was barely three days old when I got my first letter. Here it is. Dear Mr. Harring: Being an EARL CAMPBELL FAN and also a HOUSTON OILER FAN I resent your article in the Sunday Herald. There is no way that you can blame the whole team. In the first place, if you were an authority on football, you would surely be in that business instead of the news business. I am sure it pays more and there are a lot of clubs who are losing that would appreciated finding out what is wrong with their organization. In the second place, we shouldn't criticize until we "have walked a mile in the other fellow shoes." RIGHT? I don't know what is wrong with the Oilers and do not claim to, but it is strange that they were so good with Bum Phillips and as soon as Biles took over they became very, very bad. Also the New Orleans Saints were very bad and when Phillips came on they certainly showed a great amount of improvement and he's doing it with the same players that were there when he arrived except with the quarterback. It sure goes to reason (even to a woman) that Bum Phillips was doing something right. The Houston Media has stated that Bud Adams was jealous because Phillips and Campbell were getting all the publicity and Mr. Harring, I believe it. It seems that Mr. Adams cut his nose off to spite his face. I It must be all shades of red and purple). Well, he is going to keep Biles another year, we will have to wait and see how he makes out. I understand that Earl Campbell is up for a new contract. It wouldn't surprise me that he goes to New Orleans where maybe "the chickens fed the most, produce the most." He is one of the greatest backs football has ever had an the present Oiler organization refuses to take advantage of his ability. No one plucks the TYLER ROSE, Mr. Harring. It is not the team that needs firing, I don't know about the coaching staff, but it is a plain fact, they need a new owner before all of the spectators start wearing paper bags. Maudine Cook 107 Hwy 81 E New Braunsfel, Texas 78130 P.S. Are you by any chance a Dallas Cowboy fan? I like Dallas too but I like the Oilers better. Ouch! That part about being a Dallas Cowboy fan hurt, Maudine. I grew up in Houston and rooted for the Oilers in their darkest moments (including the back-to-back 1-13 years). So I'm a bit miffed at the implication that no true Oiler fan would support the current Oiler coaching staff or say that the team is on the right rebuilding track. And that part about "if you were an authority," etc., is downright nasty. People talk about football all the time, and hundreds of sportswriters in Texas alone write columns about football every week. Surely you're not suggesting we all go get jobs in e NFL. ' Besides, that column was just my opinion, and carries no guarantee of being right. The Herald is more than happy to print other opinions as well. Katharine Hepburn once said of the gossip press, "I don't care what they write about me as long as they spell my name right." My name is spelled with only one T'. not two, and it appears that way in every single issue of this newspaper. And the name of this town is .spelled New B-r-a-u-n-f-e-l-s, not New B-r-a-u-n-s-f-e-1, as you have it in the letter and in the salutation and on the envelope. In case anyone was wondering, here are the final results of the Herald staff football contest. We went 18 wonderful weeks, from the first weekend in September through the New Year's bowl games. There were no big surprises, no dramatic charges from behind or changes of position. The cream rose to the top early and stayed there the rest of the way. The official Herald champion football-picker is editor Robert Johnson, finishing with a 136-42-2 record, a nifty .761 average. A relatively close second was photographer John Senter, who chased Johnson all year but couldn't catch him. Senter finished 130-48-2, a .728 average. He was followed by sports editor Kari Mitchell, 125-33-2 (.700); myself, 118-60-2 (.661); and Debbie DeLoach, 107-71-2 (.600). This must be said, however, for DeLoach: her record is reflective of what her stated purpose was throughout the season, namely to "stir things up." If the upset had even the remotest chance, she would pick it, just to keep things lively. Lively it was; successful it wasn't. My own dismal showing matches my fourth place finish of last year and has me thinking that maybe I'm not so smart about football after all. Many of my losses, however, can be attributed to an unwavering devotion to the Texas Aggies and the belief every week (except against SMU) that they would win. My foolish optimism continues unabated; wait 'til next year. Good news for football fanatics: the United States Football League looks, indeed, for real. The recent signings of Tim Spencer, Reggie Collier and SMU's Craig James promise a higher caliber of play than I thought they'd get the first year. If they can grab a few more stars and fill the trenches with able-bodied players, the new league can easily become much more than just a second-best fix for die-hard fans; it could become first-rate entertainment, equivalent, in many ways, with the NFL. Of course, there's no way the USFL can compete with the sense of history the NFL has. League records will not mean much for quite a few years, and team records will be worthless (James quipped at the news conference to announce his signing with the Washington Federals that one of his goals this season was to break all the team rushing records). And for a few years, the top talent will remain concentrated in the NFL. But slowly that talent will diffuse to the USFL, and eventually both may reach some sort of equality. For the first few years, though, if the USFL can show us some talent, some scoring and some exciting games, they'll grab more than their share of fans, viewers and, ultimately, money. I'm looking forward to it. Morgan, Littler share LA Open golf lead LOS ANGELES (AP) Gil Morgan, a winner last week, used a hole-in-one as the spark that ignited an 8-under-par 63 and a gave him a share of the third round lead Saturday in the $300,000 Glen Campbell-Los Angeles Open Golf Tournament. Morgan's ace, the second of his career, came with a 5-iron shot on the 173-yard seventh hole at the Rancho Park Municipal course. It opened a string of four holes that he played five under par. But that was only a small portion of the heroics scored by a varied cast on this mild, cloudy day. Among the others: Veteran George Archer, who scored consecutive eagles en route to a 10-under-par 61 that brought him from the cut figure to within a single stroke of the lead. Arnold Palmer, who is seeking to break a 10-year victory drought, shot a 68 and was a single stroke back with 18 holes to play. Gene Littler, 52, who one-putted IO times with a new, strange putter that has the brand name "Basakwerd" and looks the part. He shot a 66 and was tied for the lead at 202 with Morgan, Mark McCumber and I^nny Wadkins. Wadkins, a playoff loser to Morgan last week, had a 67 and McCumber shot 65, finishing it off with a 31 on the back. Tied with Archer and Palmer at 203, IO under par and one off the pace, were Fuzzy Zoeller and second-round leader Gibby Gilbert. Zoeller had a 69, Gilbert 71. Tom Watson, the current U.S. and British Open title-holder and the defending champion here, missed the green and bogeyed the final hole and dropped back to 204. He had a third-round 69. J.C. Snead, with a 66, Lon Hinkle, with a 65, Keith Fergus, with a 69 and Andy North, with a 68, were at 205. That places 13 men within three strokes of each other at the top.

The character you always feel sorry for in books and movies yeah that me!
Book by: sammyali
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
Chapter1 (v.1) - The character you always feel sorry for in books and movies yeah that me!
When you feel that strange feeling of moving on, and you really think things are doing just fine right before the horror of what could have been hits you. But then the past hits you and you can't stand on your feet. You could be just looking at the latest things that your friends are doing. You know Facebook, or just talking with your friend. And then out of know where you see something you didn't want to. Something you knew would happen, one day or another, but when it does, you know, come, you can't believe it. (Are you confused yet, give me a moment to explain)
Crying seems stupid, it was nothing serious, and nothing reasonable to get emotion over, (that would really mess up my rep, as the Tom Boy-ish girl) just a close friend that I had thought felt the same way I did. It was really a crush. I just a short spark kind of feeling…actually it happen in several occasions, so yeah, I thought he was into me too. That friends now being with a female I was also good friends with, (Not being with, just he's hanging out with her a lot, and I've always seen them give each other the googly eyes things couples do all the time, he was really crazy about her, I could tell before they started hanging out, so I took that as a hint to back the hell away.) I was even in contact with her, had hung out with her…I had a feeling that they might have a "Thing" for each other. What the hell am I saying, I could read on their faces, they were in denial and in love…well not in love, maybe lust. But there's no need to worry about it, I was in a place where I shouldn't be thinking about them, I had other things to freak out about.
Like I don't know, having some guy, that guy being Oliver, whom thinks I'm his girlfriend, well yeah that should be on the top list….
The miss communication level was so high between us, I wasn't sure what I was saying half the time, or if he was even reading the signs, because I was trying to make it obvious. I should have known that he wouldn't get it, with him never having a girlfriend before. It makes complete since! How stupid and rude I feel now, but it would be rude if I just let him think I have these fake feeling, right?
He had told me one day that he liked me, but it wasn't just the simple, "I like you" kind of thing, it took him three days to finally tell me…I already knew he liked me, not only was he showing it all over his face but my best friend Carmine told me. (She had gone out with him for 48 hours, till she figured out he was crazy about me, she said it was way to odd to talk about her best friend with her boyfriend, "I can't take it," she had said) now that was over things still were awkward between us two. Which kind sucked, because I kinda thought he would be cool to date for the first time, but I was wrong….oh how wrong I was….
I was thinking this as I walk up the steps to the library, we had planned on meeting up there two nights ago. Why the library you may ask? Well it was his choice for one, and I felt the park was way to public to break it to him. It seemed distractive with little kids jumping and screaming around for food and fun.
"Sonny," I hear a voice behind me. I spin around to come nose to nose with Olive, well not really nose to nose, he was nearly six five, while I was only five six. He was wearing a gray T-shirt with some plain dark jeans. I look at his side and spot a guitar.
"You brought a guitar," I glance back at his face.
He nods his head awkwardly. One thing I did like about him was that he was awkward, but it took me awhile that he wasn't the secretly attractive nerdy kind of way that most people would think seemed cool, but the I-hate-school-but-I'm-super-smart-and-you-should-be-told-this-every-second-we-hold-a-conversation-it-should-be-about-that-and/or-me!-, and-bad-at-socializing-and….well the list goes on for a long time, I just prefer to stop there. Everyone has their flaws, and I'm sure not the person to say his out loud. I have many flaws…but enough about that.
"Maybe after we brose for a book….we could," he pauses to try and find the right words, "compose a song, you said you could create lyrics, right?"
"Yup," I say slowly, making sure to keep the distance a good and friends zone limit, which wasn't difficult.
"Good. Good," he steps back. "Shall we go?"
"Yeah," I step aside, "you first."
He snickers, "You such a gentleman," he mutters.
"Well, I wasn't raise by wolves," I say in a sarcastic voice.
"Did you know wolves are related to chickens?"
"Really?" I was confused.
He chuckles, "You're so gullible," he grins, "I was only being sarcastic." Why the hell was I with this guy!? Did I really think he was sweet at any point in these past weeks? Yes, I tell myself. And how did that happen??? And the answer to that was unanswerable…yup I had no clue how or when those feeling started up.
"You sound too serious to be sarcastic; you suppose to have an obvious way of saying things, to make people know you're just kidding."
"Whatever," he sighs, "sigh."
"Why'd you say 'sigh'?"
"Excuse me sure," says the security dude.
"Huh?" Oliver looks over at him with his bug like yes from behind his large Buddy Holly glasses. For some reason I've always had a thing for those glasses, they just looked, cool. They fit his personality, it made me want to snatch them right off of his face and plant a kiss on the lenses, no him, of course, that just sounds random and weird…duh. Maybe I was crazy for the glasses, maybe that was what got me into him? Like for some guys it's their hair…but that wasn't for Oliver, I think when I look at his short hair, it would have liked it a little bit more if he didn't have dandruff, how fucking gross that was…I would like to run my hands threw his scalp, but no, the dandruff stopped me from that…Ugh, I swear it was beyond the worst turn off, it wasn't for that it might have been his B.O, it smelled of perspiration, musky dog smell, and the swell smell of tobacco (not). The last smell I could get use to, I've been around smokers my whole life, and I could tell the smell wasn't that strong, so I was guessing it was from his parents or siblings, he had said he had a 34 year old sister.
"You can't have a guitar in there, no music devises."
"But this isn't an iPod of some sort, it's just my gui-"
"I know what it is," he snaps. I sneak a look at his name tag, it read: Frank Hamilton. He had a peppered mustache that matched his hair that was the length you would see on a guy playing the "Next Door Neighbor" on some sitcom, or something like that. "The rules state you can't do that," he steps forward, "I'm sorry but I'm afraid you have to leave."
"I won't play it."
"I'm sorry but the rules-"
"Blah, you told me," he sighs, "do you know where I came from?"
"What does that have to do with any of this?" he raises an eyebrow.
"Watts, I came from Watts," he answers, "and you know why?"
"Why?" the man says with clench teeth. It was clear that he was ticked off.
"So I could simply check out a book from the fasilty your guarding oh so dearly," he points at the two story build… "I'm not going to play any music."
"How do I know if you won't start playing the second you step in."
His face scrunches up, "That just sounds stupid," he laughs, "if I wanted to play I would do so at some corner you're not near. That would be the smart-"
"Do you want to check a book out or not," he was done with him.
"Yes," he chippers, "thank you," he says as walks past him. "Sonny," he steps aside.
"What I got -- full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter," he sings in a voice that was beyond painful to hear.
"What are you doing?!"
He hums uncontrollably the lyrics he can't think of "Twist and shout my way out," he spins around me in circles. I didn't fear for him to trip into me, but the walls, he seemed like a clumsy guy, "and wrap yourself around me," he speaks this line.
I look up and miss his gaze. He glances over at a sign on the wall. "Hey, they have a café here, we could get something later…what do you think?"
"Sure," I shrug.
"Cool," and he leads to way to the books.
"Where are we going exactly?"
"Um," he rubs his free hand on his cheek, which is not filled with pimps or random scars, "where would I find classic books?"
"What book are we talking about?"
He murmurs, "Flipped." He was talking about the book about first love, from childhood to adulthood, I think. I had flipped through the books once because it was forced upon me. I had only managed to read the guys point of view, it seemed more interesting, but in the end I just made it look like I was reading the book, when we had to read at reading time.
"I read that book," I try to think we're it would be, then it hit me, follow me.
"Flipped?" She tips on her computer, "Oh that just got checked out."
"Oh," he says in disappoint mean. "Do you want to eat now?"
"Um," I look around, "Can we talk instead?"
His eyes widen, "Okay." We walk down stairs to where there was nearly no one that could hear our conversation. "What did you want to tell me?" He asks. "Are you bored? You're bored aren't you, I should have known," he hung his head. "Libraries aren't cool," he sighs.
"No," I reach out and touch his arm, something I regret. The second I do that he lightens up, lifts his head and looks me in the eye, but not until he get red and has to look away.
"Then what is it my-" Say it, say it, Sonny! You have to!!!
"It's not the best time to have a boyfriend," I had shut my eyes, so I open them to see his face in a puzzled face.
"What?!" He crocked.
"Were really different," I say. "I don't think it would work if I just jump into this not prepared, not really sure of what I feel."
"Are you just feeding me break up lines? Is 'its me not you' in there?"
"No," I made a mental note to never us it in the future.
"But we could work Sonnyz," he had a nick name for me? What were we a group of friend? Crew? Gross! Sonnyz was as bad as him calling me Sonster!
"I'm sorry-"
"I love you," he whispers in a creepy voice.
"What?!" I step away.
"You know you can feel the electricity, can't you?" his eyes were filled with longing and pleading.
"Oliver, I know nothing about you, I can't love-" he slams his face into mine and it wasn't the kind of kiss anyone would want, from anyone. It was wrong in every aspect. For one he was bad at it, I could feel his teeth as he tried to press me closer to him. For two, his hands were lamely on my elbows, and they started to move to my waist, but I quickly pull away before that got any further.
His eyes were still shut, his lips still puckered, and his face was in a daze, "Didn't you feel it?"
I wasn't sure why but the motion to smack him had racked in my head but I thought was not enough. So I decided kneeing him was the next best thing.
"Did you fuck feel that?" I screech. "Bitch," I hated having my personal space being invaded, I thought he would be nice enough to not get in my face about it but it seems like I was wrong about that.
I wipe my mouth as I step out of the door way. I look over to the cop, Hamilton, and I swear he was steps from giving a high five.
I stand at my bus stop and the rush of adrenaline was leaking out and all I could do was feel guilty for kneeing him in the balls.
"Shit," I hiss.
I'm still writing it, so please tell me what you think about it...Thanks!

MLJ MONDAY – The Vital Place of the New Birth
I keep coming back to the subject of regeneration. I'm convinced that there is nothing more important for us to keep considering than this—not least because it enables us to be sure that we are saved ourselves, but also because of the effects a right understanding of this will have on us. I was therefore thrilled to find the following quote from the Doctor in a similar vein. We do not talk enough about this. What, then, is the new creation? What is the new man?

Passion For The City
Last week I posted about the need for us to have a heart for cities. Recently I was reading again our Saviour's words, when he had set his heart to go to the city where he knew he would die. I wonder whether we share such a passionate heart for the city, even when we know it is rejecting us and our message? I pray God may soften my heart so I can pray with such similar compassion for London, that vast den of iniquity that is, nevertheless, full of people who God longs to gather to himself."O J … [Read more...]

Perhaps we should speak more about laziness as Christians. I'm not 100 per cent sure that we can say that the following quote entirely rings true of Christians today as a group.

From The Village To The City
Many Christian speakers, especially those from a similar school as Mark Driscoll, put a lot of emphasis on the cities these days.

There is an endless stream of people who you see every day. In a city you can never meet everyone. In a city, you can be in a crowd of people and still feel totally alone.People wonder why cities are such unfriendly p … [Read more...]
Spurgeon On Infant Baptism – An Abomination!
I think I will let these words from Spurgeon stand without further comment from me. I'm probably already in enough hot water just for repeating them.

One little known fact about Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones is his opposition to the concept of theological degrees for Christians. The following quote is probably the best one I have found which explains his reasoning for this position.

Debt Is Robbing From The Future
Prime Minister Gordon Brown has now stated the obvious by finally agreeing with bankers that the world seems to be heading into a recession.

Mazda Expects 30 Percent Enhanced Fuel Economy with Skyactiv 2 Engines Come 2020
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Mazda is already discussing Skyactiv 3 as well
Mazda only recently started introducing its
Skyactiv engines
to its different vehicle models, but the automaker is already talking about the upcoming Skyactiv 2 -- and even Skyactiv 3 -- engines for the next decade and beyond.
According to a new report from
Automotive News
, Mazda plans to gain 30 percent better fuel economy with its Skyactiv 2 engines, which are expected to have a 2020 release date. A 30 percent improvement in fuel economy would make the already impressive Mazda3 rise from 29/41 mpg (city/highway) in its more efficient trim to 38/53 on regular unleased gasoline.
2014 Mazda3
plans to achieve this 30 percent increase in fuel economy by improving the internal combustion of the Skyactiv 2 engines. More specifically, the Skyactiv 2 engine's compression ratio would be bumped up to 18:1 from a current level of 14:1.
This higher compression is able to reach the same combustion temperature as the current engines, but with a leaner mix of fuel -- meaning improved fuel economy.
The Skyactiv 2 engines will utilize homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), which compresses the fuel-air mixture to a high enough pressure and temperature that it ignites by itself without needing a spark. This allows for more complete fuel combustion and lower nitrogen oxide emissions.
However, the
Automotive News
report indicates that HCCI won't come easy. Engineers must first expand the range of engine speeds for HCCI specifically, because the engine revving too quickly can result in a misfire due to the high number of revolutions, and if revved too slowly, it can misfire due to low temperatures.
2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine
Aside from that, engine cooling and the engine's tendency to behave differently based on the use of different fuels need to be figured out.
The main goal with Skyactiv 2 is to meet European
carbon dioxide emissions
standards of 95 grams per kilometer in 2020, but Mazda is looking even further ahead at meeting Europe's standards of 65 grams per kilometer in 2025 with Skyactiv 3.
Mazda didn't go into great detail about Skyactiv 3, but the automaker plans to make more energy available for powering the wheels by limiting the fluctuation of heat in the combustion chamber and reduce losses from exhaust and cooling. Mazda hopes to reach well-to-wheel carbon dioxide emissions with Skyactiv 3 that rival electric vehicles.
Mazda first introduced Skyactiv engines to the U.S. market in 2011, starting with the Mazda3 sedan. Since then, they've been added to the Mazda6 sedan and CX-5 crossover.
Mazda has been trying to bring the Skyactiv-D diesel engine to the U.S. via the Mazda6, and was supposed to have achieved this by the second half of 2013. However, in September of last year, it was announced that
delays in emissions testing
has pushed that timetable to late spring of 2014.

A lovely love poem about loveMature
The title sez what it's about mate.
When I'm walking down the street,
And I'm thinking of you,
Something odd happens,
In my wiggly waggly woo.
I get so nervous,
When I try to talk to you,
I don't think you'll like,
My wiggly waggly woo.
And when I'm on the toilet,
And I'm doing a little poo,
Something, really odd,
Happens in my wiggly waggly woo.
Standing outside your house,
There, the whole night through,
I start to touch,
My wiggly... waggly... WOO!
I don't know how to tell you,
The things to me you do,
I want you near,
My wiggly waggly woo.
Aw dammit, I spilled my drink,
It got all over my shoe,
Oh god no,
Not on my wiggly waggly woo.
When I was born,
Everybody knew,
That when I grew up,
I'd have a good wiggly waggly woo.
And our love together,
Wouldn't be only woo hoo's
You're much more to me,
Than a wiggly waggly woo.
I truly love you,
Your smile, your laugh, your boobs,
I want you beside me,
On my wiggly, waggly, woo.

Later today it will be formally announced that the Madonna Of The Pinks by Raphael will not leave Britain after the gallery thrashed out a deal with its former owner, The Duke of Northumberland.
The Duke had accepted a £34 million offer from The Getty Museum in Los Angeles in 2002 for the Raphael, which had been on loan to the National Gallery for over a decade.
The National Gallery had described its possible loss as an "emergency". Led by its director Charles Saumarez Smith it appealed for lottery funds and private donations to match that offer. Now, after 16 months of wrangling, it has triumphed.
The Madonna has been sold to the National Gallery for £22 million. The Duke, who needed funds to maintain Alnwick Castle, the family seat, will pay no tax on that sum.
Mr Saumarez Smith said: "The National Gallery and the Duke of Northumberland are delighted that this extraordinarily beautiful painting is going to stay in this country.
"It ensures a picture of exceptional tenderness remains to be enjoyed on tour and as part of the National Gallery's great collection." The Madonna Of The Pinks - smaller than a piece of A4 paper - will tour the nation so people can see why the Heritage Lottery Fund paid £11.5 million towards it.
A further £400,000 came from the National Art Collections Fund, over £600,000 from the public and much more from other, private, donors.
Doubts still remain, however, whether the painting truly is by Raphael himself.
Evening Standard critic Brian Sewell - formerly a specialist at Christie's - has declared his "profound" misgivings about the painting's authenticity.
The Madonna is believed to have been painted around 1507 for a Perugian nun. The "Pinks" of the title refers to the carnations, symbols of devotion.

Effects of stellate ganglion block on cardiac coronary circulation

Since the stellate ganglion contains cardiac sympathetic nerves, stellate ganglion block (SGB) may influence cardiac and coronary hemodynamics. We investigated this influence of SGB by measuring the heart rate (HR), the left circumflex coronary artery blood flow (CBF), the maximum rate of increase of the left ventricular pressure (LV max dP/dt), the cardiac output (CO), the myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2), and the myocardial oxygen extraction ratio (MOER) in nine dogs before and after performing SGB by means of injection of 2 ml 1% mepivacaine. Left SGB resulted in a decrease of 10% in CBF and a decrease of 15% in LV max dP/dt, but HR, CO, and MVO2 remained unchanged. On the other hand, right SGB resulted in a decrease of 30% in CBF and a decrease of 25% in LV max dP/dt, as well as a decrease of 20% in HR, 15% in CO, and 25% in MVO2. SGB on either side resulted in an increase in MOER that was slight but nonetheless significant (P<0.05) in that it suggested a relative deficit in CBF with respect to MVO2. Inhalation of 100% oxygen decreased MOER to the pre-SGB level in either side, thus improving the myocardial oxygen supply-demand relationship. This study suggests the possibility that SGB has deteriorative effects on the myocardial oxygen supply-demand relationship. Those effects were counteracted by the inhalation of 100% oxygen.

Dressing up
"No" I squeak as Scarlett tugs me along, Guinevere walking slowly after us. I clutch the strap of my new bag finding myself flustered and trying to tug back and away. Scarlett just holds my hand firm though tugging me along. She rolls her eyes at me. "Come on, Ro. You've been texting that guy all day! And now he wants to meet you. You are not missing this"
"What is he's..." my voice trailed off. To be honest when I thought of Rixon I just saw a that wink and cocky smile he had given me at the restaurant. All my fears slipped out of my mind and a nice calm feeling purred through my veins.
"Cant think of anything?" Scarlett teases. I blush a bright red and both of my friends chuckle.
"Why I never" Guinevere says looking completely and utterly shocked. "I never thought you'd not be freaking out, Ro"
I sigh and look down at the blue ruffled dress that stops three inch about my knee. I think about my mum and dad then. They'd be in love... could I have that? I took a deep breath and tilted my chin up. I walked ahead and Scarlett's hand dropped from my wrist. They watched me walk the rest of the way to the reception.
Rixon stood in there leant against a pillar. His hands were shoved in his pocket and when he saw me that cocky smile slipped across his lips. I felt fear wash over me again and began to fidget. I heard my friends groan behind me telling me they noticed. "Hey" Rixon said leaning down and kissing my cheek.
The touch of his lips on my skin sent a flush across my cheeks. "Hi" I squeaked back. Rixon chuckled and pulled a hand out of his pocket holding it out. After a moment I realised he wanted me to take it so I slow gripped his hand. He squeezed back and then jerk his head to the door.
"Come on, the shows in 30. If we dont set off now we're gonna be late" he says flashing me a smile.
I look back over my shoulder at my friends and Scarlett gestures wildly for me to go. So I do but take every step one at a time. We reach out side and I shiver realising I only have a small jacket on top of this off the shoulder short sleeve dress. Soon enough though we're at a car and Rixon is opening the door. I begin to fidget even more and bite my lip. Rixon notices and smiles with a wink.
"It okay" he says holding out his hand. I take it letting him help me into the two seated car. I shift and sit snugly in the seat. The cushioning so soft. I pull my legs together realising the shortness of my dress. Rixon gets in and smiles.
I walk into the hotel room quietly. "Tell me everything!" Scarlett yells jumping up. I scream and ear piercing scream and she winces.
"Wo! Ro, its okay" Guinevere says coming up and grasping my shoulder. I stop my breathing quick. "Whats the matter with you, Scarlett?" Guinevere snaps turning on her.
"Sorry" Scarlett mutters. I give a sigh of relief and walk into the room finding my pjarmes. When I come back out Scarlett and Guinevere are sat on there beds waiting. They both smile sneekily. "So... what happened?" Scarlett presses.
"Um, we went to the show it was.... Hairspray and then he drove me back" I say recalling the way he held my hand. Glance at me occasionally through the musical.
"Nothing else?" Scarlett suddenly says after a moment of silence. "No kissing? No sneaking little comments"
"Um, no" I mutter blushing. "He was a gentleman. He held my hand"
"Wow" Guinevere mutters then she shrugs. "At least she went out"
Scarlett sighs heavily falling back onto her bed. "Gosh, I was waiting for slimy, juicy details"
I shift nervously. "Sorry" I mutter.
"Its okay, Ro" Guinevere says.


text: MARKHAM, ON, June 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Education software specialist NetSupport is delighted to announce the latest update to its leading classroom management and instruction tool, NetSupport School (v 11.30), introducing support for Android tablets. The NetSupport School Student for Android gives teachers the power to interact with students' tablets from their desktop*, delivering engaging real-time instruction and support within the flexibility of a mobile environment. "Given the increased access today's students have to mobile technology, it's great that schools have been quick to recognise the role that tablet devices can play in the classroom," said Al Kingsley, NetSupport's Managing Director. "For classroom management vendors such as ourselves, it's vital that we continually develop not only the feature set of our solutions (as seen with our latest OFSTED-based assessment tools) but also ensure our platform support is as broad as possible and accommodates the latest developments in IT − helping teachers to remain in control of computer-led collaboration and assessment and encouraging students to engage with classroom technology and peer-based learning." As well as NetSupport School's chat, message and request help capabilities, other key instructional tools available for teachers to use with student Android tablets include: the ability to broadcast their screen directly to tablets; lock tablet screens to gain attention; involve students in class surveys; and display lesson objectives and expected outcomes. With education investing heavily in the latest innovative classroom technologies and embracing the move towards BYOD learning environments, this is a timely extension to NetSupport School's cross-platform support and comes hot on the heels of the recent addition of Windows 8, Google Chrome OS support; NetSupport's compatible Mac and Linux sister product, NetSupport Assist; and, for the mobile teacher or teaching assistant, the Tutor Assistant app that runs on both tablets and smartphones (Apple, Android and Kindle).

Banana bread is one of those treats that can be just good or it can be absolutely great. I don't know about you but I have tried slices of banana bread that were ok but just seemed to be lacking something. If you want a really great loaf of banana bread, there are two ingredients I have found that not all recipes call for.
The first ingredient is sour cream. Sour cream can be found in some banana bread recipes but not all, and many times people scrunch their noses up at the thought. However, by adding sour cream, moisture is added making your loaf of bread almost like cake. When you take a bite of banana bread that was made with sour cream, your mouth sinks in to pure perfection.
The second ingredient needed for a great loaf of banana bread is cinnamon and sugar. No not baked inside of the bread, on the outside of the bread. If you have ever had a plain piece of toast and then buttered it and sprinkled it with a little cinnamon and sugar, you will know that it takes your plain piece of toast to a whole new level. That is exactly what cinnamon and sugar does to your banana bread, it takes a good loaf of bread and makes it amazing.
Here is my favorite recipe with the couple needed tweaks mentioned above.
Bread Ingredients:
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1 1/3 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2-3 ripe mashed bananas
Cinnamon Sugar Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp. White Sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together cinnamon and sugar to create the perfect cinnamon and sugar combination. Grease one to two loaf pans (depending on how large of a loaf of bread you want). Shake cinnamon sugar mixture into the greased pan(s), making sure all sides are coated. Dump excess cinnamon sugar out of pan(s).
In medium sized mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamed. Next add eggs one at a time continually beating. Add sour cream and vanilla and beat thoroughly. Sift flour, baking powder, soda, and salt in until completely combined. Add bananas and mix until well blended. Pour into prepared pans and bake for 1 hour or thoroughly cooked.
Cool upside down on plate and enjoy.

The bidding began and I noticed that the opponent of one bid was not bidding as ferociously as some of the others for previous bids. It took him three bids before he bowed and stopped. I looked over at the other bidder. He stood next to another man who seemed to be more interested in what was in his hand than what was going on. I studied him. Clearly the man who had just bought me was his servant, meaning this man was very important. I scowled. If they expected me to be mild and willing then they had another thing coming. As I was unshackled I threw a punch at the first alien, who shocked me and then dragged me over to my new 'owner'. The servant scowled at me, but looked at his master. The alien stood and beckoned, not looking at either of us.
I was dragged behind the servant, and I fought him every step of the way. At last I sat on the floor, and stared at him defiantly.
"Take me home."
"Take me home."
"No!" He raised his hand to strike me, but his wrist was caught by his master. The alien stared at me with deep blue eyes, electric eyes, and then he spoke.
"You realise that humans who do not obey are killed? What is the point in fighting?"
I would have replied, but the thought of my brother never seeing me, of me never seeing him, again ran through my mind, and I decided to follow, if not
willingly, at least quietly. That way, I could plan my escape. As I reached this conclusion, I saw the alien turn away, and begin to walk again. The servant
pulled at me.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming." I spat at him, and stood, following them to a ship.
The journey seemed to last only a few minutes, but when the doors opened I realised that the climate was different. We were clearly in a different country. As I stepped from the ship, once again behind my 'master' and his servant, I gasped. Ahead of me was the great building I had only seen in history books. Versailles.
The aliens had taken over this, as well as every great landmark on earth, and I knew that Versailles was one of the homes of the alien royal family...
I stared at my 'master' once again. The way he had been indifferent, the way his eyes were different, the way he had acted...he couldn't be part of the royal family?
I felt a little green. If I had just cheeked a member of the alien royal family there would be serious consequences. And yet, if he had been bothered, surely I would
be dead?
I fell in to step next to the servant.
"Who is he?" I asked.
"Silence human."
"No. Now tell me, who is he?"
" That man is the prince, the future ruler of this world and ours. So show him respect."
I was humbled, but not respectful. Respect is earned. And his family had certainly not earned my respect. They had taken our freedom. Our lives.

The following is an email exchange with Glenn Goldman, a pioneer in alternative lending and CEO of Credibly, an online lender to small businesses.
More regulation is likely coming to SMB online lending. How do you respond to this?
Unfortunately, there are bad actors in every industry, and I think there's now an even greater responsibility for all of us in the lending ecosystem to keep an eye on each other.
Our concern: Overregulation could prevent small businesses from getting the capital they need. Right now, 60% to 70% of our GDP is driven by small businesses, 60% of our labor force is employed by small businesses, and the opportunity to get capital in the hands of all small businesses helps support that foundational pillar of our economy. We want to make sure that if in fact regulation does begin to ratchet up, it's done in a balanced way, so that it doesn't get in the way of the healthy economy that we've helped to create.
Are traditional lenders and fintech lenders natural enemies?
More and more, the two sides are working in tandem to serve the capital needs of small business owners, driven by their own particular strengths: They have created a complementary ecosystem. For example, banks have a lower cost of capital, a lower cost of acquisition and a greater perception of trust. Innovative lenders are speedier and make the user experience more pleasant and simpler. Plus, we can underwrite small loans more cost-effectively than banks can.
At Credibly, we view our own data science and technology functions as extensions of our partners as a de facto R&D capability, and are very comfortable sharing information and insights.
What is the primary source of funds for Credibly and how do you expect that to change over time, if at all?We began with Crestmark Bank, further expanded our financing with Alostar Bank of Commerce, an equity investment from from FlexPoint Ford, and now SunTrust Bank and AloStar.
It's an incredibly risky strategy to rely on one single source of financing, whether that's on-balance sheet, whole loan sales, or securitizations. You should have access to more than just one — and ideally all three. As a platform that originates assets, we avail ourselves of all three options.
Tell us about the Small Business Borrowers Bill of Rights.
We are firm believers in the six overarching tenets of the Small Business Borrowers' Bill of Rights — they echo the fundamental principles upon which we've built our company.
At the same time, we need to ensure that the Bill in its entirety isn't just inspirational, but that it is defined by actionable standards for which industry players can be held accountable. Given that its implications could help shape the future of the lending industry, we as a company decided that we needed time to review and weigh in accordingly, to ensure that it serves the best interests of the customers.
Is it ever worth it to a small business owner to borrow at 36%?
Sure, as long as there's a net benefit to the business. If the potential return is more than the cost of the capital, then borrowing the money makes sense. If not, we don't recommend it.
More important: "36%" might sound high if you're comparing it to the rates of long-term bank loans only available to large businesses with established credit, but that's a false comparison. Try this: Walk into a bank in April and tell them you need $30,000 to build a patio for your restaurant, and you need the money before Memorial Day. That's something alternative lenders can handle, not banks.
What's next?
At the moment, Credibly can fund businesses in as little as 24 hours. Can we get that down to 12 hours, or six hours?
This year, we expanded our online platform to make it simpler for business owners to submit funding application and monitor their funding accounts. We've also focused on education through original content offerings like our InCredibly blog and our Credibly Business Journal series.
In other words: How can we at Credibly and the industry at large make funding a better experience at every point of the relationship?

How do you NOT bite your nails? Is it possible to tame the butterflies ready to burst through your stomach? My 6 years of work as an actor contributed to this article.

Breathing Technique (Focus/Calming exercises)
Researching (Preparation; know the company,)

"Treat any interview like an audition…"
Primary objective:
To leave everything in the interview room, at the end you should walk away saying, "I showed them the best of me and now its up to them."
Always remember to Breathe and…
1) Research
Research the company and person you're interviewing with or as the working actor would say, "auditioning for".
Forbes and Monster also suggest research and preparation as a crucial initial step.
Basically, if you want to gain an edge over the competition, know who's who and what's what, about the company your hoping to land a job with.
Research will help you:
- Know the culture and if possible a bit about the people you may work with. Monster.com and Forbes.com suggest looking into press releases and the company's website for in depth insight.
- Find out what they need and how your skills will help end their candidate search.
- Study job qualifications and how it relates to other positions in the company.
- Expect (or not expect) to "shoot the wind", build rapport. If you pay attention it most likely will be at the beginning, then its all business talk…some companies may "just want to talk" at the end. Rare few, may talk at both ends…this would be the "friend" type of interviewer Monster.com describes.
2) Sift and Rehearse
Pick out relevant information about yourself then practice sharing this experience – answer the question: how are you and your skills an asset to this company?
Match job qualifications with your experience. Actually say out loud how you can achieve the tasks of the potential job to yourself, to the mirror or a chair…even better, to a "mock interviewer."
This will prevent going off into tangents or not answering questions accurately.
3) Prepare Materials, Review and Pray
Review your meticulously gathered notes the night before. Then, upon an early arrival, give yourself 30 min to an hour before you walk in to meditate/pray…let it go.
This will:
- Eliminate the fear of forgetting or any type of panic with brief important notes/questions by bringing them with you. Worst case scenario, they'll appreciate to see you prepared.
- Enable you to print out resume and prep "wardrobe", job focused attire, the day before.
- Reminds you to rest at ease, you've done the harder part of gathering info and sifting through your experience to make it relevant, now you can just go in and have a conversation…
4) Dress the Part
According to the culture of the company, show them you already get how they flow, from the inside and out…
now don't forget to BREATHE…you did the research remember…now just be you…and get ready to LISTEN
As you walk in make sure you…
5) Connect Confidently
Make a confident and warm connection with everyone on the way into the interview room.
- Use eye contact and a genuine smile that says, "thanks for seeing me today, such an honor to meet you" let them initiate a handshake. If they offer their hand take it and squeeze it with a sense of "thanks so much", not "hey check out my firm grip!"
6) Take Charge Subtly
Answering questions right off the bat with a calm pace, this is your time…maintain solid eye contact throughout. So STAY CALM and AFFECT them by truly LISTENING, then your answers will rock!!
- Well, if you follow tips 1-5 above, you're already in great shape!!
- Mainly…keep BREATHING…listen…react, as if you're having a cup of coffee with them…
*Caution: don't talk too much…give them just enough info so that they may want to know more about what you're saying…
- Example of "What would you do?" These type of questions require more attention to detail and procedure. The good news: here's a chance to get creative and show a bit of how innovative you can be on the spot. (Prep by pre interview tips 1 and 2)
- Questions about yourself and your work ethic should be to the point and focused on how your experience makes you exemplary for this position, use what others have to say about your previous work as potential support, meaning, actual testimonials or recommendation letters if you have them handy…
7) Give a Strong and Graceful Exit
End strong and exit graciously. Bring some relevant questions to the table, about them and their offer. This shows them a serious consideration on your part, to integrate into this company.
Let them lead you out, whether it be verbal or physical. Thank them with the same warm eye contact (if not more relaxed) as the one you walked in with.
and keep this in mind:
- If they don't offer a follow up session or conversation, ask when would be a good time to follow up…
- Regardless, send a thank you email or postcard within the week.
As you walk out…
Let them initiate a hand shake…if they don't, its okay, just use your eyes to show gratitude as you say "thanks have a great day"
You've done it!! You've put these tips to work for you…Here's the best part: If this does not swing your way, take it as prep for the next one. You'll get better at it and eventually someone won't be able to resist how ridiculously professional and effective you are for the job right?!
