Most Scrum Teams will be faced with new members occasionally, and this is not a trivial event. The good news is that a ScrumMaster can help avoid or minimize disruption by adopting a few simple tactics.

Retrospectives should be stress-free, be they at home or the office. A retrospective is for discussing not only what went wrong but also what went right.
5/2/2017 by William Nicolich
I look for ways to fast-forward to a future when teams can successfully transport more value across the "business/technology gap" than they currently do. Immense value often doesn't make it over to the other side. There are many reasons why, and "responsibility confusion" plays a part.

Wow, I am remiss in getting up this review. After reading several mentions of this restaurant here I finally treated myself to a trip there in mid June (see told you I've been remiss!). Actually, my lovely friend surprised me by calling ahead and treating me to lunch there to celebrate my new job.
It was a lovely day out so I sat on their beautiful patio next to the garden. I was alone but the peaceful surrounding was so soothing after a very challenging month (had been laid off) that it was a perfect way to enjoy the meal. I started with a limontini and asparagus soup (made with asparagus from their own garden) which was velvety smooth and was perfectly seasoned although simply. Next up was the seared tuna with beet risotto cake. The tuna was done just right and the beet risotto cake had a wonderfully crunchy crust with a nice toothesome bite on the interior. I finished with a blackberry-currant creme brulee that was simply divine. Possibly one of the best creme brulees I've ever enjoyed and I do love a good, crunchy brulee.
The service was perfectly present yet invisible, allowing me to enjoy the scenery and garden. The best part of this is that I've now moved to Lafayette so I'm quite close to this hidden gem. I do plan on enjoying a meal there again, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Katy Perry Dressed Like Jessica Rabbit
Fucks shes boring. NEXT.
She's not boring, she was just drawn that way.
Tits are WAY too small and hips are too linear to be Jessica Rabbit. Katy Perry is a foul whore.
Wtf? Who the hell are you to call ANYONE a whore? You don't know that she's a whore, if she is, then she as sure as hell is a happy whore. Jessica Rabbit is a fucking drawing you shit on a stick, you can't compare any human being to a drawing, only their clothing or the way they look. For example, (if your dumbass has trouble understanding me) I can be dressed like Spongebob Squarepants but I can't FUCKING SHAPE MY ASS AND BODY LIKE A FUCKING SQUARE :D. Before talking smack about this hot bitch, THINK. You son/daughter/thing of a fart.
Fucks shes boring. NEXT.She

Stepping out for a fun-filled evening, a host of famous folks gathered at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City for the 2014 WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards last night (November 5).
Madonna was stunning in her sleeveless black ensemble as she presented one of the night's trophies to Charles "Lil Buck" Riley while Liberty Ross showed support for her boyfriend Jimmy Iovine.
It's been a good year for Iggy Azalea and her hard work and dedication has earned her a whopping six nods for the 2014 American Music Awards.
They've just embarked on their much-anticipated Monster Tour, and Eminem and Rihanna have quite a show planned for the lucky fans holding onto tickets.
Slated to hit Pasadena, Detroit and East Rutherford, New Jersey, the "Love The Way You Lie" hitmakers just unleashed their long and impressive set list.
They're getting ready for their massive Monster Tour, and Eminem and Rihanna joined forces during the rapper's set at Lollapalooza on Friday (August 1).
The crowd went wild when the "Real Slim Shady" hitmaker brought Ri-Ri out on stage to sing Dido's part on his single "Stan" as a preview of their upcoming shows together.
It's almost time for the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, and this year there's a certain "Bootylicious" babe who seems to be ruling the field.
Beyoncé Knowles has been nominated for eight trophies including Best Female, Best Collaboration and Video of the Year.
With the arrival of social media, there's no longer any barrier between our favorite celebrities and their adoring fans, and last night (April 13) there were plenty of posts from the 2014 MTV Movie Awards.

It's about noon. I'm on my way back from practice. As nasty and ugly as it is out there I have to say that this weather didn't hurt my fishing or my Classic strategy one bit. In fact, it might have gotten better after this morning. I've got one more technique in my arsenal that I think might be handy at some point along the way. You can't have too many patterns in a Bassmaster Classic.
The bite was really pretty good this morning. Fish usually go active in the snow, and this morning was no exception. I'm not sure why that is but it's very similar to what happens in Florida just before and during a rain. All in all it was a good day. (Ok, it was a good half-day. I didn't stay out as long as I could have.)
That's not to say that I like this weather, though. My fingers and my toes are still numb, and I've got the heater running on high. It must be the Florida blood in me. No matter how hard I try I can't learn to love cold weather and snow, even when the fish are biting. It just doesn't happen.
Looking back on all my practice I have to say that I'm really looking forward to Friday and to having a good event. That's not a prediction of anything. All I'm saying is that I'm optimistic about getting out there and fishing for real.
I think it's going to be a very interesting Classic. Here's the thing: We've had a bad storm blow through the area with lots of heavy cloud cover, snow, ice and cold rain. But it's over. Things are looking better. The skies are brightening up and the snow is gone. Now we can expect true post-frontal conditions. The skies will clear with bright sunshine and high pressure.
A lot of anglers automatically think that means tough fishing conditions with a slow and tentative bite. That's not always the case, however. Sometimes they really turn on after a front, especially a severe front like the one we just had. It's one of those things you don't know about until you actually get out on the water. Like I said, it'll be really interesting to see what happens on Friday and what the afternoon weigh-in looks like.
I don't think that the cold nights will amount to much as far as the fishing is concerned. This is Oklahoma. There's nothing unusual about it getting cold when the sun goes down in February. The fish know instinctively what to expect and when something is out of the ordinary. This isn't out of the ordinary. And besides all that, we're supposed to have a warming trend over Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
There's not much I can say at this point beyond that. We can't control the weather and we can't control fish behavior. All we can hope to do is adapt as best we can to try to make things go our way.
We'll talk again tomorrow.

Well I tell you, so stop being so damn impatient. It made me sad because there are very few quotes in this world that inspire me to do anything but get angry. In fact, most of the world's most popular "yearbook quotes" drive me up a wall. Because my life is such a rich, full cornucopia of happiness, I've decided to share my feelings (of hatred) on some of the more famous quotes I've heard in my life-time.

Relief news from Thailand - 29 Oct 2011
Relief news from Thailand - 29 Oct 2011
Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association relief news from Thailand.
Extreme floods, the worst seen in 50 years, have claimed the lives of more than 370 people along with destroying some 800,000 homes and affecting more than 2.5 million residents across parts of the country.
As of Friday, October 28, seven of the capital Bangkok's 50 districts were still inundated, with concerns being raised about continued water infiltration causing a shortage of food and water supplies.
Rescue and relief efforts have been conducted by the Thai military and other government response teams, and the international community has also extended aid.
Admiral Winai Klomin – Royal Thai Navy (M):
Concerning the conditions of the victims at the moment, most of them need help tremendously, especially since the water has risen 2 meters, on average.
According to our estimation, for the water to recede, it will take at least 30 days. Therefore, disaster relief packages are still needed to provide rice, water, and daily necessities, for the people to be able to live on in the next 30 days.
VOICE: Supreme Master Ching Hai had offered US$15,000 for urgent necessities,with all her love and prayers, as she asked our local Association members to please go and help the most vulnerable.
This amount could obtain US$82,000 in aid items purchased in the United States, based on the cost of living in Thailand.
Our Thai Association members from Bangkok focused their efforts on the worst-hit province of Ayutthaya, a historical and cultural center, where the water levels had reached up to four meters, with strong currents that made transportation in some places possible only by boat.
On October 19, with the help of the Royal Thai Navy, the relief team was able to travel to Loi Island in the Chao Phraya River, where they distributed 1,300 packages containing rice, drinking water, and other vegan food supplies to residents who had been stranded there.
Admiral Winai Klomin (M):
I would like to sincerely thank Master Ching Hai for helping the victims. This is such a tremendous kindness toward the Thai people.
VOICE: We are sincerely grateful for the help of the Royal Thai Navy as we also thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for her loving aid and our Association's relief team for their diligent efforts.
Our prayers for the safety and comfort of the Thai people and that such distressing conditions subside as we strive for kinder care of the planet.

More coverage: Complete national signing day coverage
Considering the depth of training required of today's college-level athlete, National Signing Day is the culmination of an effort that began for most long before high school.
That long journey will officially end today when several local athletes are allowed to sign letters of intent with their respective colleges.
For some, the path to today's signing ceremony had plenty of twists and turns, many of which have occurred in the last couple of months.
Rancho Cucamonga safety Tahaan Goodman, rated the No. 4 recruit in the state by rivals.com, committed to UCLA just two weeks ago despite having collected more than 40 scholarship offers prior to his senior football season.
The 6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect may not have made a decision until today had LSU not cancelled his official recruiting trip the weekend of Jan. 19. When LSU failed to provide Goodman his travel materials in time, he decided to take an unofficial visit to UCLA that same weekend. It was during that trip that he and several other UCLA recruits decided to commit to the Bruins.
"We decided that if we commit earlier than Signing Day, then we figured we can get more players to come and have a better team," Goodman said. "In the end the difference was I didn't end up taking my visit to LSU."
UCLA is also expected to sign Carter defensive lineman Kenny Clark, the state's 39th-ranked recruit on rivals.com.
Upland defensive end Joe Mathis ended up where he started 14 months earlier, but it was a rollercoaster in between.
The state's 18th ranked recruit committed to Washington in October of 2011 after the Huskies made him his second of what would become more than 50 scholarship offers. As the offers piled up, Mathis de-committed in order to explore his expanding options, but committed again to Washington on national TV at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Jan. 5.
Both Mathis and Goodman are members of large signing classes at their respective schools. Other members of Baseline League champion Upland expected to sign today include defensive back James Johnson Jr. with Arizona State, quarterback Nate Romine with Air Force and cornerback Delvin Batiste with Northern Arizona..
"I'll tell you what, Air Force is getting themselves a heck of a quarterback," Upland coach Tim Salter said. "This is a great signing class for us and we're excited to see them move on."
Rancho Cucamonga, which joined Upland in the CIF-SS Inland Division semifinals for the second consecutive season, is sending five players along from its defense to Division-I programs.
Twin brothers A.J. and Viliami Latu are expected to sign with Arizona State, Goodman with UCLA and defensive back Armond Hawkins with Idaho. Armond's brother, Chris Hawkins, has already enrolled early as USC after choosing the Trojans over Stanford during the summer.
A pair of receivers from the Baseline League, Victor Bolden of Los Osos and Jordan Villamin of Etiwanda, are expected to sign with Oregon State.
Jack Austin, a 6-3 receiver from Chino Hills, is expected to sign with Cal after a late trip to Berkeley led to him changing his verbal commitment from Boise State.
After a 1,500-yard senior season, Colony running back Samajie Grant is expected to sign with Arizona.
Summit has six players expected to sign today: Charles Okonkwo (San Diego State), Justin Strong (Oregon State), Dontel James (Fresno State), Brandon Stubblefield (Northern Arizona) and Keenen Sykes (San Jose State).
Pomona defensive end Azeem Victor is expected to sign with Washington.
New Mexico State is expected to sign three local players: Los Osos offensive lineman Thomas McGwire, Eisenhower linebacker Jerrion Burton and Kaiser running back Marquette Washington.
Washington's teammate on the CIF-SS Central Division champions, linebacker Anthony Saenz, is expected to sign with UC-Davis.

Injuries, breakouts change fantasy baseball landscape
Freak injuries can occur at any time. And not even the most thoroughly planned draft strategy can prevent injuries such as Boston Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury's right-shoulder dislocation from doing major damage to a fantasy team's title chances.
After hitting .321 with 32 homers, 105 RBI and 39 stolen bases in 2011, Ellsbury was a top-10 overall pick in just about every draft this spring — his average draft position on MockDraftCentral.com was 6.32. But those who made him their franchise cornerstone with a first-round pick will have to find a way to survive without him for at least the next six weeks.
The injury brings back memories of another one two seasons ago in which Ellsbury collided with then-teammate Adrian Beltre while chasing down a pop-up. He suffered a rib injury that effectively ended his season. He never recovered and finished the year with a .192 batting average. Coincidentally, Ellsbury's batting average this season when he dislocated his shoulder in a collision on the basepaths: .192.
The silver lining — if there is one — is the injury came early enough that fantasy owners have plenty of time to repair their rosters.
And unlike last week's other casualties —San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson and Minnesota Twins starter Scott Baker— at least Ellsbury should be healthy enough to contribute later.
While it will be difficult to replace Ellsbury's overall numbers with a player off the waiver wire, there are two possible strategies that can lessen the pain; one focuses on playing time, the other on categories.
It's easy enough to start with the Red Sox outfielders who will gain at-bats with Ellsbury out of the lineup. Ryan Sweeney, Cody Ross and Darnell McDonald have the most experience and should be playing most every day — at least until Carl Crawford comes off the disabled list, which could happen sometime in May.
The other option is to pick up an outfielder who can at least contribute in a particular statistical category so the impact of Ellsbury's absence is lessened in that area.
Stolen bases can usually be found on the waiver wire, but Ellsbury's shoulder injury is more likely to affect his home run totals than his stolen-base numbers when he returns, so power might be the most important need to address immediately.
Another comforting thought for Ellsbury owners: Your best player is ailing, but — to use a century-old analogy — this is just the tip of the iceberg. The injury bug bit much worse last April, when Matt Holliday and Adam Dunn each had his appendix removed, Evan Longoria and Ryan Zimmerman suffered side muscle injuries, Joe Mauer came down with a mysterious leg injury and Josh Hamilton broke his shoulder on a head-first slide.
Ellsbury, Wilson and Baker are the most recent players to suffer major injuries — but they won't be the last.
Breakouts brewing?
While most fantasy owners tend to focus on the negative aspects of their early results, there have been a number of pleasant surprises. Let's take a closer look at five of them (statistics through Sunday).
•OF Austin Jackson, Detroit Tigers: Jackson teased fantasy owners in 2010 when he hit .293 and scored 103 runs, but his average dropped nearly 50 points last season. The culprit, as noted in our Fantasy Windup blog by Jake Ciely of RotoExperts.com, was a lower line-drive rate and a corresponding drop in his batting average on balls in play (BABIP).
Jackson's high strikeout totals make him more susceptible to the huge swings in average. His .396 batting average on balls in play led the majors in 2010, and a ridiculous .565 mark has him hitting over .400 to start 2012.
There's one thing different, however, in Jackson's current approach at the plate: He's drawing more walks. After striking out more than three times as often as he walked last year, Jackson has seven walks and 10 whiffs.
With the powerful Tigers lineup behind him, an uptick in on-base percentage could make Jackson a threat to lead the league in runs scored.
•SS Ian Desmond, Washington Nationals: He's not your prototypical leadoff hitter, but Desmond has thrived at the top of the lineup despite an aggressive approach that doesn't generate many walks. His .354 average and .380 on-base percentage have been important factors in the Nationals' hot start.
Desmond began showing signs of success as a leadoff hitter in 2011. Although his average was .253 overall, it jumped to .281 hitting in the No. 1 spot. He's not walking much (twice in his first 50 plate appearances), but his fast start will continue to guarantee him extra at-bats and enhance his fantasy value.
Now, all he needs to do is start stealing bases. After swiping 25 last season, Desmond is 1-for-1 in steal attempts.
•OF Nolan Reimold, Baltimore Orioles: Another atypical leadoff man, Reimold throughout his career has had trouble staying healthy. With a clear path to playing time for the first time since his rookie season in 2009, Reimold is making the most of it. Although he has yet to draw a walk, he has managed to hit .323 with two homers.
Another encouraging sign: Reimold is building on a strong finish to last season, when he hit .281 with five homers, 17 RBI and six stolen bases in September.
•SS Zack Cozart, Cincinnati Reds: The rookie got off to a hot start with hits in six consecutive games. He has also shown extra-base power with two doubles, two triples and a home run among his 13 hits.
There are several factors working in his favor, including a hitter-friendly home park and an enviable spot in the batting order, right in front of 2010 National League MVP Joey Votto. Although the 26-year-old's minor league stats don't show a whole lot of power (50 homers in five seasons), they do show signs of improvement. Cozart could be even more valuable if the Reds turn him loose on the basepaths. He stole 30 bases in his last full minor league season.
•OF J.D. Martinez, Houston Astros: A .342 hitter in three minor league seasons, Martinez made the jump last season from Class AA to the majors and performed admirably, hitting .274 with six homers in 208 at-bats.
He's halfway to matching that home run total through his first nine games of 2012.
Martinez, 24, looks as if he will be a fixture in the Astros' No. 3 spot, and though his .400 average on balls in play will certainly regress, he has displayed nice plate discipline (10% walk rate) that should help him continue to hit for a decent average.

An Open Letter To Whoever Controls The Fate Of FriendFeed
To Whom It May Concern,
If I was writing a movie based around the current scene at FriendFeed, I would cast you as the big, evil corporation and all of us FriendFeeders as the people at the community centre standing in the way of 'progress'. But I don't write movies and, frankly, Channel 7 News isn't going to show up to our placard-filled rally.
So, I am simply writing you this letter.
I am FriendFeed. I have the shirts. I have the stickers. I co-host the FFundercats, a podcast dedicated to FriendFeed. I have skin in this game. I also want to assure you that I am not a Facebook hater. I was every one's Facebook guy (still kinda' am) and have held an account there for a long time. But still, my blood runs FriendFeed Blue…
If someone were to tell you that your entire high school experience essentially boils down to the memories and opinions of the football captain or the head cheerleader, they would be sorely mistaken. Defining my years based off the experience of a small section of 'popular kids' belittles all the friends made, the things learned and the extra curricular adventures that existed far beyond the pages of the yearbook.
So it goes with FriendFeed.
FriendFeed is more than a few noisy tech bloggers. While I agree that there is thick filling of tech and social media content here, it sits on a delicious base of personalities and personal connections. Over the 18 months I have been here, I have seen births, deaths and marriages. I have watched children grow, others fight cancer, couples fall in love and felt very real support through my own family issues. I have emotional currency in here, and I am sorely in debt.
In short, we have a vibrant community here and we continue to use the service until the ship sinks. FriendFeed fits. It is the first thing I look at in the morning and the last thing at night. Two FriendFeed icons sit on the permanent bar at the bottom of my iPhone. My wife uses it. My 3 year old has an account. I find it more valuable every day.
We FriendFeeders use the site to have fun. We use it to learn. We use it to be sad. We use it to get happy. We use it as a chat room. We use it as a central point. We use it… still. See, that is what rocks about FriendFeed, it's not just the technology, but what we do with it that makes it a great place.
So, since the sale to Facebook, we have seen the filling leak out, but I believe that this crisp base remains. My feed still rocks, as do those from most my friends, and I have even met new people, sharing in their lives as they do mine. Engagement may be down for a number of high profile users, or topics, but this can be explained in a number of ways.
Interaction Equation:
FriendFeed is all about interaction. We tell everyone who asks that if you want comments or likes, you first have to comment or like on others. The amount of time spent here interacting with others directly correlates to the amount of interaction you get in return. That equation also works in reverse. A number of high profile users 'left' after the sale so using this equation, as the amount of time decreased, so did their interactions.
The Bleeding Edge:
Some people want to be on the bleeding edge. Once a service is sold or changed, they seek other places because they must always be ahead, never paddling in a still lake.
Long Held Beliefs:
Some people just don't like Facebook, sorry. They don't like being where they see you are. I can't change that.
We are not dead, we are just without certainty.
So, now to the hard stuff.
What are you going to do with FriendFeed.com? Do you even have a long term plan for the service?
I understand that you have a brand to protect and you are in the business of making money, but how hard would it be to keep the servers turned on? Would you be open to ideas like an ad-supported model? Some other way way of 'paying our own way'?
The difficult part is I have no really good reason to offer that might convince you keep everything switched on… so I'm asking nicely. The thing of greater difficulty is you have no good reason to do what I ask… except to totally rock.
What I ask is for a time period, a stay of execution. After all we have put into this place, give us a chance to keep finding new ways to use it. We are a fast moving, inventive and creative bunch of users, we may just surprise you with ideas you can use.
Many Thanks,
Johnny Worthington
Special thanks to Louis Gray for his counsell.

Saint Leo, Fla. (March 23, 2007) – Sophomore starter Ashley Urbanik (So., Riverview, Fla.) tossed a complete-game three-hit shutout to help the Saint Leo softball team (21-12, 3-4) win for the 13th time in the last 14 games, and open a three-game SSC series with a 4-0 win over Eckerd College (13-23, 1-9 SSC) on Friday night.
Urbanik struck out eight en route to her sixth shutout of the season, and her 17th complete game in 18 starts. Senior SS Alison Flynn (Miami, Fla.) went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored, while Ally Maddox (So., Brandon, Fla.) was 2-for-3 in the game.
The Lions got on the board in the first inning, as LF Hayley Mallory (Sr., Plant City, Fla.) led off the inning with a single. Flynn then attempted to bunt Mallory to second and reached when the throw sailed over the second baseman's head at first. Mallory scored on the play and Flynn advanced to third. Flynn then scored on a wild pitch to give Saint Leo a 2-0 lead.
SLU added to its lead in the fifth, as Shelley Bartlett (Jr. Sarasota, Fla.) led off the inning with a double. She later scored on an RBI single by Flynn, and the Lions added an insurance run in the sixth to seal the win.
The two teams will face off again tomorrow in a doubleheader to round out their three-game SSC series. The first game will begin at 1:00 p.m. at University Field.

By: Jared Lindzon Special to The Star
On February 20th 2013, 1,200 journalists from around the world were gathered in the Manhattan Center in New York for what was being called a "secret announcement" by Sony PlayStation.
That announcement was the launch of the PlayStation 4, Sony's first new gaming console in six years, and the start of a new chapter in the rapidly changing videogame industry.
A New Console
In the years since the launch of the PlayStation 3, the way in which consumers purchase, play, and share games has drastically changed, and the new system embraces these new gaming formats in a number of ways.
New features, such as being able to pause a game on a home console and continue on a portable device, a wider variety of games and price points sold in an online store, and added social media capabilities, attempt to make the gaming experience similar to the successful model embraced by mobile developers.
"I think there's been a lot of shifts in the way that people play games that the new PS4 is going to address," says James Schmalz, CEO and founder of London ON based game development agency Digital Extremes. "There's been an explosion since the last console launch with more social and more digital. This new console generation is going to start addressing those shifts."
A New Variety of Games
Before the explosion of smaller, simpler games on smartphones and other portable devices, big-budget blockbuster console titles were the industry's bread and butter. Now, console developers are looking to expand their offering.
"You've got games that cost millions to make, and those contracts for developers are few and far between. There's just less of those games now," says Schmalz. "Hopefully on the PS4 we see a much wider range of products and product sizes… The PS4 is giving developers and customers the option to buy the big budget games or the smaller games."
A New Revenue Model
Digital Extremes recently embraced an alternative revenue model by developing their first free-to-play game, Warframe . Like many portable games, users are welcome to play for free, but are encouraged to pay a small fee for upgrades and expansions.
"It's like a free game in the iTunes store, but it encourages you to make a micro transaction," says Schmalz. "It's all up to the player to decide if they're going to pay, and how much. I think that's a fantastic model to work off of. There's going to be a market for the $60 retail game, but there's also a huge market for this free-to-play market."
A New Opportunity for Canada
With the world's third-largest videogame industry, a new generation of gaming consoles could provide big opportunities for developers in Canada.
"I think Canada is already having a tremendous play in the industry, because those studios are progressing and having a lot of success," says Yves Guillemot, Chairman and CEO of Ubisfot, the world's third largest videogame publisher and developer.
Ubisoft has an office in Toronto, and the France-based company's largest development studio is located in Montreal, employing 2,100 people.
"I think the videogame industry in Canada, because of the success it is getting, it is going to continue to attract more high profile creators. I think there's a bright future for the next 5-10 years," says Guillemot. "We just have to make sure the dollar doesn't go up too much."

I Do, I Don't is an all too common story: a young Christian couple decides that they are going to get married. We see the proposal happen during (perhaps at the end of) a worship service that both parties are helping lead. Gil is one excited guy: he's thrilled to be marrying the love of his life, especially after his admitted past struggles with sexual activity. Sidney is equally excited, as far as we can tell: she's got some hesitations (she's young, he's a few years older, people are hesitant, etc.), but she keeps saying that God is good, and that she wants to be an excellent wife for Gil.
The lead-up to the marriage is wholesome, and pushes the boundaries of what boundaries you shouldn't push. The couple decide not to kiss until they are married (and the kiss on the wedding day is incredibly awkward; we aren't spared the sight in the film). They talk about the pressure of people watching them (since they are both involved in church ministry), but both seem to truly want God to be glorified in their relationship. Sidney even says at one point that divorce isn't an option, no matter what happens.
The screen fades to black shortly after the wedding. Six months later, we see Gil in a class, and all of his students are asking to see Sidney. He says she's at work, and suggests that they pray that she can come to school with him again.
Then the film reveals that Sidney left Gil three months into their marriage. Gil is heartbroken, but still considers himself married. He was asked to leave his church (for reasons we aren't told; presumably related to the reasons that Sidney left him, though that is hardly confirmed), and found himself in a new church, serving as best he can. The remainder of the film focuses on Gil's actions towards his out-of-contact wife and his new pastor's thoughts on the situation. There is an interview with Sidney at the end, where she says that they shouldn't have gone through with the wedding.
If that feels like a lot to take in, then I've communicated the film's emotive power correctly: throughout the entire film, viewers ought to feel tense. This is marriage we're talking about; people's lives hang in the balance.
Half-way through, I started to respect Gil quite a bit. His pastor recommended that he pray about ways to be a faithful husband even when his wife was absent. Gil took this very seriously, and started sending his wife Scripture verses regularly. While this might seem odd to some, it struck me that Gil was actively attempting to fulfill God's calling in regards to his own marriage. That, in itself, is awesome. And difficult. I can't imagine how difficult that would be.
He and his pastor echo the same truth: God hates divorce. You see it all over the Bible, you hear it from the words of God and from Jesus himself. So Gil decides to tough it out. He said he's love her forever, and so he shall. The weird part comes when the film is over: we find out that Sidney is still living the single life, but that Gil has "found the girl of his dreams" and gotten married.
The film leaves the viewers with a lot of questions: why did Sidney leave Gil? Why did Gil's church ask him to leave (and Sidney stayed at that church)? What changed with Gil's heart that made him comfortable to remarry, after all his beliefs about marriage and divorce? Is Sidney open to remarriage, or has she decided to remain "faithful" to her once-spouse?
While those are specific, the questions for Christian viewers are far more important: what should a person in Gil's situation do? Are we called to "remain married" to someone who leaves us, Biblically speaking? What can break a marriage, death aside? Some argue that adultery is cause for divorce, but many don't even believe that, these days. God seems to put grace and forgiveness at the forefront of all marriages–see Gomer and Hosea, for instance. Not to mention the parallels with Israel's history: if marriage is a representation of Christ and the Church, ought we always to seek after our spouse, even when they won't have anything to do with us?
None of that is easy. Perhaps I'm being too quick to judge; from the sidelines, it seems relatively simple to say that he should swear off all other relationships and seek his wife in faithfulness. If I were sitting in that position, of course, I'd likely have a much harder time of it. That doesn't mean I'm wrong, necessarily, just that situations like these are complex. If someone gets remarried after their spouse leaves them, perhaps they are committing adultery. But God is bigger than that, and He is capable of forgiving; we should be able to do so as well.
I've known people who've been divorced, I've known people who've gotten remarried after a divorce, and I've known people who've stayed married until death parted them. It's the middle category that I find hardest to support, however. Divorce is ugly, and everyone agrees on that point (I hope). But if your spouse leaves you, I find it difficult to support a decision to remarry, Biblically speaking. The narrative of marriage throughout Scripture (God's faithfulness in the face of Israel's idolatry; the leaving of one family to join another; Gomer and Hosea; and the 'two become one flesh' language) emphasizes pursuit and love, not resignation and absence.
All in all, the film is a difficult one to watch. If you've had friends go through a divorce, it might be helpful to see someone else's perspective on the whole thing. You can purchase and view the film here.
Access to the film was provided by United Films.

Premier Gordon Campbell
Victoria BC V8W9E1
By post and facsimile: (250) 387-0087
Open Letter: Objection to Comments by Minister of State for Mining
Dear Premier Campbell,
We are writing to strongly object to the unwarranted and insulting comments by the BC Minister of State for Mining Randy Hawes on multiple occasions, which have only served to reiterate and promote racist stereotypes about First Nations culture. By Resolution 2010-40, the Union of BC Chiefs-in-Assembly call upon you to accept the resignation of Junior Minister Hawes.
The Takla Lake First Nation, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs and others support the independent report released by Harvard Law School's International Human Rights Clinic titled "Bearing the Burden: The Effects of Mining on First Nations in British Columbia." Rather than address the serious recommendations made in the report, Junior Minister Hawes called the report "hogwash" and "completely flawed" and suggested Harvard "look in its own backyard or concentrate on places with more egregious offences against indigenous people." Minister Hawes' comments were shockingly offensive, not supported and clearly historically inaccurate, given the substantial hardship that Indigenous peoples have endured due to federal and provincial legislation and policy.
We were absolutely appalled that Junior Minister Hawes has also gone on record saying "some First nations reject mining for a more traditional lifestyle- those ways are linked to lower birth weights, higher birth rate deaths and lower life spans. Improving these outcomes requires sharing the wealth and jobs that come from mining." We understand he refused to apologize for these unsupported and ignorant comments.
Junior Minister Hawes has boldly stated support for Taseko Mine's proposed Prosperity Mine and extremely controversial efforts to replace the Xeni Gwet'in and the Tsilhqot'in Nation's Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) and surrounding area with a massive open pit mine and tailings pond, and detrimentally impact nearby Esketemc territory as well. He has publicly criticized the Tsilhqot'in, who he said are "putting a lake before their kids." Again, this comment is insulting, unwarranted, inaccurate, and fails to consider listening to what First Nations want.
In 2005, you and the Province of BC committed to a government-to-government New Relationship with First Nations in BC based on respect, recognition, and accommodation of Aboriginal Title and Rights. In the spirit of the New Relationship, we would like to meet with you in order to discuss the seriousness of Minister Hawes' comments and review the absolute need for mining reform in British Columbia beginning with a real review of the Harvard study recommendations.
On behalf of the UNION OF BC INDIAN CHIEFS
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip
Chief William Charlie
Chief Bob Chamberlin

Exhibition stand graphic design
The three-dimensional impact of your exhibition stand is vital to attract visitor attention. To maximise the impact of your stand you need to communicate and connect your brand and your message with your visitors.
Fundamentally that is achieved through your graphics. Graphic design for an exhibition stand requires a completely different rationale than graphic design for a brochure, so it is vital to use a design company that knows how to design for three-metre tall walls rather than just at A4.
We have a philosophy called the Hierarchy of graphic communication in the exhibition environment, which is a bit of a mouthful but helps to explain the way graphic design 'talks' to the event visitor.
Design and digital specialists under one roof
Our design team specialises in exhibitions and event communications and has years of experience in graphic design for stands. This means that we can create a striking graphic design for your exhibition stand. The graphics they create will bring your exhibition stand to life and ensure you look unique in the exhibition hall.
With our new in-house design and digital team, we can also create engaging on-stand digital content for your stand including bespoke games, surveys and animations to bring your messages to life.
We provide an end-to-end solution for graphic design and exhibition stand graphics, so there's no need for you to hire a design agency or independent graphic designer.
Of course, you may already have an agency that completes graphic design for you and we are only too pleased to work with an external company like this to achieve your goals.
From providing working drawings and advice on how to set up the artwork through to a design development and artwork service that takes your agency's concept to completion.
There are reasonable charges for all these services which are quoted prior to the start of any project

Lee Marvin: 10 essential films
The iconic American actor, Lee Marvin was born today, February 19, 1924. To celebrate the occasion, my latest piece for the British Film Institute looks at his 10 essential movies.
You can check out the piece in full here at the British Film Institute site.
The weird & wonderful hidden history of the Logies
The 57th annual Logie Awards will take place this coming Sunday, so start looking forward to the red carpet procession, those strange looking statues, and the local and international celebrities. And sure, it's easy and a bit predictable to bag out the Logies (even many of the guests who attend the awards do so live on social media), but what's far more interesting is the Logies oft forgotten history.
Some facts about the Logies are well known. Bert Newton has hosted the ceremony 19 times. Kylie Minogue made history in 1988 by being the youngest star to win the Gold Logie. The awards were held on an ocean liner (twice) and, in 1970, a special Gold Logie was awarded to the astronauts on the Apollo 11 for providing TV's greatest moment, the telecast of the moon landing.
Other Logie related facts are not so familiar. While the official Logie's website has a comprehensive list of the award winners, it's far less expansive on the colourful events and controversies that have occurred at Australian television's night of nights. For that information, one has to dig deep into the Internet and, in particular, the bowels of YouTube, where various unknown individuals have preserved snippets of Logies ceremonies passed.
The first Logie Awards were held in 1959, just a few years after the introduction of television in Australian (Googie Withers was guest presenter and the Gold Logie went to Graham Kennedy and Panda Lisner).… Read more
Toshiro Mifune, Lee Marvin & Hell In the Pacific
If he was still alive, Legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune would have been 95 years old this week. He was born on April 1, 1920. I was idly looking on the Internet for images of the imposing Mifune, when I found the fantastic picture above. I don't know exactly when and where it was taken, but in all likelihood, it was London, sometime in 1967.
Mifune and Lee Marvin worked once together, on John Boorman's 1968 strange, hallucinogenic war film, Hell In the Pacific. The film was a pet project of Marvin's and he was reportedly devastated by the fact it did not do well critically or at the box office.
For those of you who are not familiar with the film, Mifune and Marvin played a Japanese navy captain and a US air force pilot, respectively, who are marooned on a remote island in the Pacific and continue to engage in version of the larger war raging around them. In some respects, the film mirrored the real lives of both men. Marvin had served in the war and been wounded in action during the battle for Saipan, while Mifune had served in the Japanese imperial army.
Mifune had approached Marvin with an eye to working with US actor. Despite being somewhat hostile towards Mifune, Marvin agreed to meet.… Read more
Bob Hoskins and The Long Good Friday
A couple of years ago I had a lengthy exchange on social media with a British crime writer on the subject of what was the best crime film to come out of the UK, Get Carter (1971) or The Long Good Friday, released in 1980.
I have to fess up that at the time I took exception to his claim Get Carter had aged badly and The Long Good Friday was the superior piece of cinema, but he was right and I was wrong. I was reminded about this last week, when I heard the star of the Long Good Friday, Bob Hoskins, had died at the age of 71.
Get Carter and The Long Good Friday are both good films, especially in comparison to the slew of movies riffing on London's underworld past that followed in the wake of Guy Richie's rather middling effort, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
The Long Good Friday is the story of working class gangster made good, Harold Shand, whose criminal empire starts to unravel, for reasons he is totally unclear about, over a bank holiday long weekend.
Hoskins owns this film from the first moment we see him, walking down a concourse in Heathrow Airport, having just returned from business overseas, the eighties soundtrack pounding in the background.… Read more
Richard Burton and the face of a Villain
Richard Burton has been on my mind ever since I watched him a couple of weeks ago in the strange 1971 British film, Villain.
Burton was a regular fixture on the TV screen in our house when I was young. Like a lot of women of her generation, my mother loved him ever since he played Mark Anthony opposite Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 classic, Cleopatra (the film on which the two met for the first time).
Dad liked his war films, of which there were a few, including Where Eagles Dare (1968), Raid on Rommel (1971), The Wild Geese (1978) and The Longest Day (1962). Burton only had a very brief role in the later, as an RAF pilot shot down over Normandy. A US marine cut off from his outfit stumbles across him lying in the bushes next to a dead German soldier, and Burton gets to utter the immortal line: "He's dead. I'm crippled. You're lost. Do you suppose it's always like that? I mean war."
Only recently have I come to discover and appreciate some Burton's other films. His turn as Alec Leamas in the incredibly bleak and noirish 1965 spy thriller, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold still stands as the best and most realistic screen depiction of the Cold War.… Read more

Frederik Gets Some Spring In Their Footsteps
Ahhh, how we love Swedish bands. Experimental rockers Frederik make electronic-tinged music that sounds otherworldly—like the soundtrack for skating your way through a frozen dreamscape. So we're pleasantly surprised that their new album, Flora sounds so … springy. Well, maybe not all the way to tulips and daffodils. But at least dawn in an eerie forest where buds are appearing on the branches. Let's just say that if you're a Radiohead fan and are looking for something a touch weirder, this one's a good bet for you.

The S&P 500's big breakout higher today has pushed the index up to more than two standard deviations above its 50-day moving average. So while we may be establishing a new leg higher here, we're not likely to get too much more extended in the very near term. (The red zone in the chart below represents between one and two standard deviations above the S&P 500's 50-DMA.)
Heading into today, seven of the ten major S&P 500 sectors were in overbought territory, but after this morning's move, all ten are overbought. Technology is seeing a nice breakout above its 2013 range, but it still has a ways to go to get above its September 2012 high. Industrials and Financials are breaking out, though, while Energy and Materials are getting close. The fact that the cyclicals have bounced back siginficantly this week is a good sign for the bulls.

Our dexterous hands are what separate us from the animals, specifically by locking our front doors. Domesticate your digits with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $25 for a Haus mani-pedi (a $63 value)
- $35 for a gel manicure and a Haus pedicure (a $76 value)
Haus of Lacquer
Champagne isn't something commonly associated with a nail salon, but at Haus of Lacquer there it is—in the hand of every guest who wants it as soon as they walk in the door. And it's on the house. But this touch of old-school class is just the tip of the iceberg. After patrons pick out a color by OPI, Essie, or Butter London, they receive a magazine or an iPad to read. Then, the experienced technicians get to work. In addition to specializing in natural nail treatments and nail art, the crew offers head-to-toe packages for total relaxation. During the half-day Indulge package, a replenishing facial brightens complexions and a massage soothes tired feet. Nail experts then use deliciously fragrant Me! Bath Ice Cream and a sugar scrub to moisturize and exfoliate hands and feet, massaging skin with a body icing that, like a child left unattended in a bakery, looks and smells like frosting.

Miracle Trail run, walk planned for March 23 at Penn State Fayette
The Second Annual Miracle Bunny Trail 5K Run and Walk will be held on March 23 at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus with proceeds to benefit the Miracle League of Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands.
"There is no doubt that 2012 was a year of tremendous growth for the Miracle League of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands (MLPLH) — highlighted by many productive fundraisers and a successful relocation to a field within Uniontown's Bailey Park. The MLPLH, a youth baseball league that extends the opportunity to play baseball to area children with special needs in Greene, Fayette, Somerset and Westmoreland counties, enters 2013 with the intention of continuing work on this new field by installing a safe, rubberized surface that will significantly reduce tripping hazards and other obstructions for our players," said Joshua Scully, a member of the MLPLH board of directors fundraising committee and 5K committee.
With this goal in mind, the MLPLH is hosting the Second Annual Miracle Bunny Trail 5-K Run and Walk.
Last year, the first annual 5K was attended by more than 400 volunteers and participants and helped the league raise nearly $7,000.
Many individuals from Connellsville participated, and several Connellsville area businesses and organizations have sponsored the event either this year or last, including Armstrong Cable, Bud Murphy's, Davies Ford and the Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church.
"Several of our players call Connellsville home, and the support we receive from the Connellsville area is sincerely appreciated," said Scully.
Registration begins at the campus cafeteria at 7 a.m. At 9:15 a.m. a Mini-Kid's Hop will take place. The 5K run begins at 10 a.m., the walk begins at 10:01 a.m. Pre-race packet pick-up is held at the Penn State Fayette Campus cafeteria from 5:30 to 7 p.m. March 22.
Registration for adults is $18, which includes a T-shirt; those 60 years and older register for $16, which includes a T-shirt; and the Kid's Hop registration fee is $10, which includes a T-shirt. There is a $3 additional charge for XXL or XXXL T-shirts. Registration forms are online or register on race day at the campus cafeteria starting at 7 a.m.,
For more information, including the race course, visit at www.mlplh.org or www.miracle5k.org.

Where's Aaron?
Stephen Lovekin /Jason Kempin /Getty Images
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (that's the first time I've called him that and it feels so good) has been missing from the Savages red carpets. He was a no-show in LA and he wasn't around for the one in NY last night either. The easy answer is because of the wedding. As reported last week - click here Full Story
The Taylor-Johnsons
Wenn, Bauer, Fame/Flynet

Here, finally, is the first trailer for Joe Wright's Anna Karenina, screenplay by Tom Stoppard, starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, and so many more. Full Story
Can we PLEASE get a trailer for this?
Over the last 3 weeks or so, most of the expected Oscar contending features have been rolling out their first trailers...but for Anna Karenina. Joe Wright, can you PLEASE get on this??? This is another film Duana and I will be seeing together, holding hands. Right after Les Miserables.

Chanel Resort 2013 was presented at Versailles yesterday. Click here to see the collection in LifeStyle. Everyone says that this event is the one you wait for.

Taylor will be OK. Blake might be better
Chung Sung-Jun/Getty
As mentioned several times already, after screening Oliver Stone's Savages a couple of months ago, Universal was so jacked by its potential that it moved its release date up from September to July, right in the middle of box office season. My sources told me during Oscar week that Savages is indeed very, VERY promising. Full Story

Payday Loans Campbell River Bc
It is not uncommon for consumers to finish up in need of short term. Thanks to the quick lending of payday lenders, it is possible to get the cash as quickly as the same day. Below, you will discover some tips that will help you find the payday loan that fit your preferences.
One key tip for everyone looking to sign up for a payday loan isn't to accept the very first offer you get. Payday Loans Campbell River Bc are certainly not all the same even though they generally have horrible rates of interest, there are several that are much better than others. See what forms of offers you could possibly get and then pick the right one.
Research the companies you need the loan from. Don't look for a company even though they look good in commercials. Take time to do some online research, seeking customer reviews and testimonials when you give out private information. Dealing with a reputable company goes a long way in making the complete process easier.
In any event, if you want to secure a quick payday loan, be sure you only have one out at any time. DO not get many payday loan or apply to several simultaneously. This will put you in severe danger of incurring more debt than you can actually repay.
Make sure you research your options. Never choose the first financial institution you encounter. Try to have a look at different places and locate good rates. While it may take you a little an extension cord, it may save you a lot of money in the future. There are websites available that will let you compare loan rates for some of the biggest companies.
Are Times Tough? A Payday Loan May Be The Help You Need
You may need to get extra cash for some reason. One of the ways you can begin to deal with those expenses is always to take out an online payday loan. This type of loan can be a short-term cash injection that could just workout for you. Read this article to obtain additional information on Payday Loans Campbell River Bc.
Don't simply hop in the vehicle and drive to the closest payday loan lender to acquire a bridge loan. Although you may know where they are located, be sure you check your local listings on where you get lower rates. You can save a good bit of money simply by doing your research.
Payday Loans Campbell River Bc can help in an emergency, but recognize that you could be charged finance charges that may equate to almost 50 % interest. This huge rate of interest can make trying to pay back these loans impossible. The money will probably be deducted from the comfort of your paycheck and will force you right back in to the payday loan office for additional money.
Keep your personal safety at heart if you have to physically go to a payday lender.

Go in when other customers are also around.
