SUNDAY IN THE OCTAVE OF CHRISTMAS: HOLY FAMILY C Lectionary #17C
The first or second reading from Year A may be used in place of the readings provided here. To some extent, the stories of Jesus' birth and infancy are patterned on the stories of the prophet Samuel and his mother, Hannah. Mary's canticle, for example (Luke 1:46 -55) is based on the canticle of Hannah (1 Samuel 2:1-10). It is fitting, therefore, that the story of Samuel's presentation to Eli at the Shiloh sanctuary should be the first reading on the day when we also read of Jesus' self-revelation at the Jerusalem Temple. The message of the day, in a sense, is captured in the second reading: We know that we are already God's children. Can you imagine what there is yet to be revealed?
Psalm of the Day: Ps (83) 84. This song celebrates Zion as the place where God's dwelling is found. It is also a pilgrimage song for those going to Jerusalem.

Contemporary Vs Modern day House Style: Is There a Difference?
If you're confused about what makes a Modern day property diverse than the usual Contemporary home, you're not alone. With the phrases frequently being utilized interchangeably, it might be tough for a informal observer to differentiate the distinction between the 2 types. However, understanding the distinction might help you choose the style that is certainly appropriate for you. - simple interior design
Modern day style has its roots within the early and mid-twentieth century. In contrast to styles from before the industrial Revolution, Modern day design emphasizes clean traces, a sparing use of inside decoration, and deliberate asymmetry in developing design and style. A Modern day home is likely to feature white partitions and a neutral colour palette, with just the occasional pop of bright color for contrast, as well as mainly bare flooring. Open flooring plans are a common feature of Modern-style houses too. Count on to locate large home windows, especially corner home windows or huge partitions of uncurtained windows that invite the outdoors in. In keeping together with the elegant simplicity of this style ethos, Modern day furniture tends to be raised (think a settee on legs, as an alternative to with skirts down towards the flooring), to protect the open really feel of inside spaces.
However, Contemporary style may be a bit tougher to pin down. The truth is, there is certainly some disagreement about regardless of whether or not "contemporary" describes a specific type of design whatsoever, rather than basically what's at present in vogue at the time. Including for the confusion will be the reality that there is a fair amount of overlap between what is regarded Modern and Modern these days.
Contemporary design is probably to function the same open ground plans, big home windows, higher ceilings, and organic surfaces of Modern day design. Even so, Contemporary design and style is most likely to feature an emphasis on natural components, while Contemporary design and style has a tendency to include much more industrial-type components for example metal or concrete. Modern day designs can also be fairly linear, even though Contemporary designs might contain curved attributes that lend a softer appear.
A Contemporary home will usually resemble a Contemporary property in an all round clean, clutter-free aesthetic. Even so, Contemporary d�cor attributes a broader range of possible makes use of of color, and can incorporate the playful addition of unique furnishings parts or textiles for eclectic flair. In contrast to the modern minimalism of Modern day design, Contemporary design can include diverse components distinct for your specific perception of style.
Obviously, probably the most important a part of any design just isn't its label, but whether or not it produces a area that you simply adore. Our design experts can assist you integrate the best components of any sort of design and style to transform your home in to the residence of one's goals. - simple interior design

Hi Krdt,
I hope you have a great time on your cruise!
Because you are planning on traveling outside of the United States, you will want to consider changing your Email and Web package to one of our Global Data packages to avoid International Pay as you go Data charges. When using your Smartphone outside of the United States, you will be charged between $0.002 per KB ($2.05 per MB) and $0.02 per KB ($20.48 per MB) depending on the country.
• Caribbean & Europe Global Data feature
o $30.00 monthly access: 25 megabytes (MB) of data.
o $100.00 monthly access: 70 MB of data.
Note: Each additional MB after allowance is billed at $20.48.
It is best to keep the data plan on your line for the entire billing cycle, so you get the full amount of MBs included. If on the line for less than a month, your included MBs will be prorated, which can cause additional charges that can simply be avoided.
You also have the option to turn off the data roaming capabilities of the device. You would not be able to use data while traveling, unless a Wi-fi connection is available. To turn off data roaming on the Fascinate, please follow the steps below.

With regard to voice minutes, the rates change depending on if you are making the call from the cruise ship, or from land. Normally, if making a call while on the cruise ship, the cost is $2.49 per minute. The per-minute rate tends to be lower if making the call from land. For example, if making a call while the ship is ported on land, the per-minute rate would most likely be lower than making the call while on the ship.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Have you ever been eating something that tasted OK — except for one ingredient that completely dominated the flavor? Maybe the recipe contained capers or mayonnaise or sardines. You know the whole thing would be better if only you could take that shit out, if you could go back in time and never put it in. Those salty capers, that oily mayo, those slimy little fish — that's what Joey Porter was to the Dolphins' defense last year. Let's not mention the fights he got into with both teammates and opponents, the fact that he proudly carries a gun he calls "my little buddy," that he was once shot in the ass, that his dogs allegedly killed a horse, or that within three weeks of the Dolphins' cutting him, Porter was arrested for a DUI in Arizona. Purely from a football standpoint, the Dolphins defense is faster, smarter, and hungrier without Porter. Get used to hearing the name Karlos Dansby.
Did you doubt Ricky Williams? Back in 2004, did you call him selfish? Did you burn a jersey or smash a bobblehead? Did you mock him for his personal problems? Ricky said he needed to find himself. He retired and moved to a tent in the Australian outback. He enrolled in a holistic medicine school, studied Hinduism in India, taught yoga in a California ashram, and played a season with the Toronto Argonauts. Then he came back. In 2008, he teamed with Ronnie Brown to form the "Wildcat" offense, which stunned defensive coordinators around the league. Then in 2009, when Brown went down and with a first-year starter playing quarterback, Ricky once again carried the Dolphins on his shoulders. He set an NFL record for longest span between 1,000-yard seasons at six years. Now he's one of the longest-tenured Dolphins, just a few hundred yards shy of the franchise rushing record. He won't play much longer, though — he wants to attend medical school. And if you think Ricky won't be a doctor, you've learned nothing. Don't doubt Ricky Williams.
Yes, he's had his share of off-the-court drama: the messy divorce, the horribly ill-advised business dealings, the legendary partying. And yes, he comes with all the distractions of a superstar: the occasional one-on-one with President Obama, the months training for and playing in the Olympics, the sweet courting whispers from every intelligent GM and coach in the league. And it's true, without another superstar to work with, the team hasn't had a whiff of a second championship. But make no mistake: Professional basketball in South Florida begins and ends, and rises and falls, with Dwyane Wade.
No hockey player feels the shame of a losing franchise like the goalie. This season, the Panthers missed the playoffs for an NHL-record tenth consecutive year, and their struggles obscured what could have been a sterling season for Tomas Vokoun. In 2009-10, the 33-year-old Czech netminder posted a .925 save percentage, the third-best mark in the league. The save percentage is the statistic that will tell you the most about the quality of the goaltender, and it demonstrates how frequently a low-scoring Panther club remained competitive thanks to Vokoun's heroics. Yet the other statistics show just how futile those efforts were: Vokoun lost 28 games — tied for most in the league. Considering how the Panthers' front office blundered by losing top defenseman Jay Bouwmeester the previous year to free agency, that shouldn't be a surprise. Even though Vokoun saved most of the shots that came his way, the Panthers allowed so many shots to get near him in the first place that they essentially lost a numbers game. Whatever is wrong with the Panthers franchise, it's not Vokoun's fault. He's the one cat who deserves to hold his head high.
Most of the überwealthy don't bother to drain their pools when they go north for the summer, which means their onyx and ultramarine oases are ours for the backstroking. Like the famous character in the John Cheever story "The Swimmer," with a little planning, a person in reasonably good shape could practically swim the length of the island in, say, August, when even hired caretakers are narcoleptic with heat. Many mansions are best approached from the beach (hint: The north end of the island is all but fence-free), eliminating the problem of where to park if you lack a sticker. A dip in some absent playboy's pampered pond, surrounded by Grecian statuary, makes a satisfying way to slough off an afternoon's beach sand. Advanced skinny-dippers will want to cabana-crash under cover of darkness. For best results, keep plunges brief to stay one dive ahead of the cops. And if you do get caught, put on your thickest prep-school intonations and ask if you can place your phone call to "Aunt Lilly" or "Uncle Donald."
Yeah, he took it easy after he kicked that ball into left field and dissed Freddy Gonzalez a little, but that can't offset the greatness of Hanley. Ultimately he apologized, and the team was better off for it. Can't a superstar get a diva moment once a season or so? Sure he can. And Ramirez is a superstar, one of those rare instant Hall of Famers that any fan is lucky to get a chance to watch on a nightly basis. How many guys in baseball might give you 200 hits, 30 home runs, 100 RBIs, 125 runs, and 50 stolen bases and hit better than .340? Only one — and his initials are H.R. (OK, he probably won't be getting 50 steals again, but he did it in '06.) Last year, he won the batting title and was the runner-up in MVP voting. Oh, and he plays a pretty mean shortstop. It's true he's gotten off to a slow start this year, but Hanley told us not to worry about him. I think we can handle that. (Runner-up: Josh Johnson, a guy who always reminds you why they call it the big leagues.)

I thought, I don't deserve to be here
Seen and not heard ... Nicole Kidman poses with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.
Photo: Reuters
Nicole Kidman says she used to cower in the background during her marriage to Tom Cruise and felt her job was to be seen but not heard.
The Academy Award-winning Aussie actress, who was married to the Hollywood star for 10 years, has told the US edition of Glamour magazine she felt she became a star only through her association to Cruise.
"I didn't think (the early movies) were very good, which is why I would always cower in the background," she told the magazine.
"I thought, I don't deserve to be here.
"We would go to the Oscars and I would think, I'm here to support him.
"I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard."
Kidman says she learnt to stand on her own two feet during the six years she spent alone after her divorce from Cruise, and advises: "It's better to be alone than in a lousy relationship."
She released a string of hit movies during that time, including Moulin Rouge!, The Others, Cold Mountain and The Hours, for which she won an Oscar.
The 41-year-old star said she is happier now than she's ever been, married to country rocker Keith Urban and mother to Sunday Rose.
"Happy isn't an all-encompassing-enough word," she said.
"I don't take any of it for granted.
"To have love again is a beautiful thing."
Kidman said her heart aches when she is separated from Urban, but she takes comfort from looking at her five-month-old daughter who is the spitting image of her dad.
"It's fine by me, having a little Keith-ette," Kidman said.
"When he goes away I can look at her and see him."
The mother-of-three, who has two adopted children Connor and Isabella with Cruise, isn't ready to be apart from her youngest child just yet.
"I can't bear to be separated from Sunday Rose," she said.
"That's why I haven't yet gotten a daytime nanny, but at some stage I probably will have one."
Kidman will grace the red carpet in Sydney on November 18 for the premiere of the her new film Australia by director Baz Luhrmann.

Islamabad (AFP) May 05, 2006
A Pakistani military official Thursday criticized an Indian commander's comments after he said an ongoing military exercise was aimed at dismembering its arch-rival in the event of a war. The "irresponsible" statement did not bode well for the ongoing peace process between Pakistan and India, the official said.
"An army of the size of India does not require to brag about its capabilities; these are well-known to the military analysts," said the official from the Pakistani military's Inter-Services Public Relations who did not want to be named.
On Wednesday, officials in New Delhi said India's top military strike force backed by aircraft were practicing war games aimed at slicing Pakistan in half in the event of actual war.
An Indian commander had told AFP: "This will put to test our 2004 war doctrine to dismember a not-so-friendly nation effectively and at the shortest possible time, but since my statement is not politically friendly I would not like to be identified."
The three-week exercises involving 40,000 Indian soldiers are being held near the Pakistan border and will end on May 19.
The Pakistani official noted that such war games were routine and said Pakistan also conducts such exercises periodically.
"Pakistan's military strategy is based on defensive deterrence and it has the capability to blunt enemy offensives," the official said. "This is what would deter any aggressor from undertaking misadventure or aggression against Pakistan."
However, he hit back at the Indian commander's comments.
"These statements can best be termed as a psychological effort to boost the sagging morale of Indian army that has gone probably so low fighting internal strife and separatist movements," the official said.
Pakistan and India went to war in 1947, 1965 and 1971.
The neighbors conducted tit-for-tat nuclear weapons tests in 1998 and four years later came dangerously close to a fourth war when India blamed Pakistan for an armed attack on its parliament by Muslim gunmen.
