Well, this is certainly something else! The seeming painfully low budget, the overlong fights and the non-involving beginning had me reaching for the remote very early on but gradually this won me over. Mr Inanc, who I had never even heard of, turns out to have helmed over 70 films and his male lead in this one, Cuneyt Arkin, has more than 250 films to his credit and is still working. The female lead, a rather attractive, if chunky, Emil Tumer, has not been so active but certainly excels in this. I suppose this looks a bit like Mad Max at times with the mixed bag that comprise the costumes and there are trucks and lots of explosions but this is really nothing more than a series of fights, fists, feet, knives, guns and hand grenades except it never quite runs the way we expect. There is a line of humour and for a brief moment when I switched from hating it to quite liking it, even wondered if it were supposed to be a comedy. But no and whilst not to be taken seriously it is pretty strong on the violent and sometimes bloody killings. One other thing, the girls wear very short skirts or tight shorts and not once is an opportunity missed for an up the skirt shot. Every time there is an uphill struggle, a rope to climb or an opponent to kick, where the camera would normally be expected to shy away here it revels in it. Very strong and effective ending ensures you cannot feel too bad about this non stop caper.

Rachel Covaks was a captain in the Imperial Starfleet of the Terran Empire. (Star Trek: Constance)
Early lifeEdit
Unlike her normal universe counterpart, Rachel was born on a warship that was on the way to re-take Earth from the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. After the re-taking of Earth, she was raised in the new Terran Empire, raised on the belief that greatness only comes from conquering and military power.
Rachel entered the re-formed Imperial Starfleet at an early age. She became one of the most powerful officers in the new Terran Empire, and she was made Captain of the ISS Constance.
The ISS ConstanceEdit
Captain Covaks was responsible for regaining control of a good portion of Terran Empire territory that was lost when they where conquered by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. As a result of her fame within the Empire, she was put in the running for the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Starfleet, her competition being James O'Brien.
The BadlandsEdit
The Constance was sent to the Badlands system to test a new Quantum drive, and would travel into the main universe. Due to an accident in the drive, she swapped places with Rachel Covaks, and would work hard to try and get back to her ship.

[highlight1] 'The Woods' Glass Object [/highlight1]
From Oslo designers StokkeAustad and Andreas Engesvik, The Woods comprises clusters of glass bubbles with differing proportions and coloured tints, supported on solid glass stems. Each set comprises seven trees in two clusters. One represents spring with a mixture of greens and the other represents autumn with a combination of pinks, oranges and greys.
© StokkeAustad, Andreas Engesvik
"The inspiration was found in the forests and the lights of the North," says Engesvik. "A tree changing colours and transparency through the seasons is a fascinating process which was captured in this glass object."

StokkeAustad and Andreas Engesvik
The Woods is the second collaboration between the Norwegian design studios StokkeAustad and Andreas Engesvik, Oslo. Our inspiration was found in the forests and the lights of the North. A tree changing colours and transparency through the seasons is a fascinating process that we wanted to capture in this glass object.
© StokkeAustad, Andreas Engesvik
Our ambition was to work sculptural – without any specific function other than the purely decorative. A renewed interest in the field of craftsmanship, tradition and new categories – has brought us again into an area and expressions that we wanted to explore further. Thus, reducing the gap between industrial design and what we know as arts and crafts.

The unique, free standing glass sculpture The Woods, is a made out of hand blown glass. Each sculpture consists of seven trees – joined in two separate sections.

Now on to that first chapter -
Chapter One
It had been raining for three days straight. I rolled onto my side to face the window towards the bit of light glowing behind the thin skin of my eyelids and grew excited for a moment, thinking today the sun might finally make an appearance. I should have known better. Under normal circumstances I would have been more than happy to cinch my covers in closer, keeping the warmth in as long as possible, thawing my flannel-wrapped arm after mercilessly sending it out into the open to slam the snooze button. But not today.
I opened my eyes to Garreth standing at the glass, his skin reflecting back a pale glimmer against the dry side of the window. My warm light on the bleakest of Monday mornings was tracing the crooked lines of water with his finger, seemingly deep in thought.
"Writing love notes to me on my window?" I mused out loud, stretching my cramped legs toward the bottom of my quilted bed. I propped myself up onto my elbow as he turned around, his striking blue eyes reminded me of his perfection.
Each day I'm astounded to find him here with me.
My angel. My guardian. My boyfriend.
Garreth has been earthbound for months now, choosing to live the life of a mortal just so he can spend each and every waking moment with me. It's not that he's giving up an extraordinary existence, he's just trading part of one for another. He's still my guardian, still here to protect me. True, there isn't anything human about him besides the charade he plays for others, and his looks, which, now that I think about it, aren't quite human either. I remember the irregular heartbeats I felt the first time we met at school last spring. The way I would feel all weak and fluttery. Words can't describe what he means to me. My mother would call it unhealthy and irrational if she ever learned the true depth of my emotions. Anyone would.
Garreth's aura isn't like the average guy running around my school or at the mall. He's pure. Surreal. And his heart beats only for me. I should feel important and flattered, I know. But honestly, it makes me uncomfortable. Why anyone would give up the freedom of roaming the heavens to be stranded here is beyond me.
Especially for me.
"You're awake," he said, walking slowly to my bedside. Sitting down and looking deeply into my eyes, Garreth bent to kiss me good morning. His hand rested gently on my cheek, allowing me to feel the exceptional warmth of his skin, his soft touch nearly lulling me back to sleep.
"Oh, no you don't. It's time for you to get up."
"Please tell me it's Saturday," I murmured, forcing my face into my pillow.
"Unfortunately, it's Monday and unfortunately again, we have a calculus test today." Garreth nudged my ribs and I couldn't help giggling.
"Ok, ok! I'm up!" I smiled into his chiseled face. He looked as handsome as always. His sandy hair, tousled as usual, hung seductively over his brilliant blue eyes. My eyes traced the strong bridge of his nose, which led to his perfect lips, and I let my eyes rest there for a few minutes. Picking up on my thoughts, he bent lower. I could smell the warmth of his skin, fragrant and spicy, as if he'd just showered with an amazing fragrance not yet discovered and bottled. It was his scent, an incense of sorts that belonged only to him and gently surrounded him like his aura. It made me dizzy, but I loved it. I closed my eyes as his lips rested softly on mine and my arms wove up and around his neck to keep him longer.
"Test? Remember?" He grasped my hands, still clasped behind his neck, and uncurled my fingers with a gentle strength, bringing them to rest at my sides. "Later . . . later you can kiss me and not let go," he whispered softly into my hair and then stood up.
"Of course you'll ace this test. You have infinite knowledge." I was being sarcastically playful, and Garreth rolled his eyes.
"I'll make sure I get a few wrong."
"Gee, thanks," I responded.
I could hear my mother stirring down the hall. Within minutes she'd be padding softly in this direction to her shower and stop at my door along the way, urging me to wake up. She's not aware that I'm usually up by this point, nor is she aware that Garreth is the one to wake me before she ever gets the chance to.
A dresser drawer scraped shut, usually Garreth's clue for a silent, celestial exit, knowing twenty minutes from now he'd be knocking on the kitchen door to take me to school. I kissed him goodbye with one last chance to see the blue of his eyes sparkle like diamonds. Like clockwork, my mother's knuckles rapped at my door.
Only twenty minutes longer.
That's all I have to wait.
Twenty minutes.

Author | Rishi Vora | Friday, May 23,2008 8:20 AM
From a salty-snacky proposition, Monaco has gone nice and naughty with Aamir Khan and his 'Dil Chahta Hai' style cool and smart act. Conceptualised by Everest Brand Solutions, the biscuit brand from Parle Product Ltd has associated with Khan in a bid to re-position Monaco with more focus on the consumer.
Vipin Dhyani, Creative Director, Everest Brand Solutions, said, "Aamir fits perfectly with our communication strategy. He is a versatile personality and he has worked in almost all genres of films, be it a love story, comedy, action, etc. You don't expect Aamir to do mundane things, since he is always on a lookout for creative roles. Monaco had a connect with Aamir in a sense that it brings out the brand wanting to be different from other products in the market."
Currently, two TVCs are on air featuring Khan, who thinks up some ingenious ways to get out of sticky situations. The first commercial titled 'Scratch' shows three tired and sweaty sportsmen being ordered by their coach to do two more laps of running round the track. Seeing their plight Khan decides to take things in hand. When the coach approaches his car he gets a shock on seeing a huge and ugly scratch on his car that says 'I love u'. The coach presumes it to be one of the sportsmen's handiwork and begins to scold them. Khan then pulls off the offending scratch, which is actually a transparent sticker and all have a hearty laugh. Even the coach appreciates the joke.
The second commercial shows Khan and his friends trying to cross the road to reach a movie hall, but find their way blocked by a procession. So, the quick-thinking Khan instructs his friends to act as if they are holding a huge transparent piece of glass and move briskly through the procession yelling at people to make way as they are carrying the breakable stuff. The crowd gives passage to the guys who make it to the other side of the road and are on time for the movie.
Further commenting on the strategy, Dhyani said, "The new positioning shifts the focus from the product to the consumer. The consumer is now empowered to make light of things. The product is a mere endorser of this philosophy, which is a way of life. The humour is subtle and never at the cost of the others."

Sharemarkets have been rocked around the world on investor fears of slower global economic growth and Ebola.
But with the local share market slowly crawling out of the basement in the past few days some experts are saying that - for the Australian market at least - it's not a crisis, just a minor setback.
To get more Money more often, why not follow us on Twitter? We're @FairfaxMoney
No one knows why it is, but history shows markets are usually volatile at this time of year, with some of the worst market crashes occurring during October.
Our sharemarket was one of the first major markets in the world to start falling. Australian share prices have tumbled the best part of 10 per cent since the start of September.
That was triggered mainly by selling of Australian shares by offshore investors to a falling Australian dollar.
But as is usual, the story is not really about our dollar, it is more to do with a US dollar that is rising against most currencies.
Offshore investors started selling their Australian shares because they did not want to have the losses from lower Australian share prices compounded by a lower Australian dollar.
More recently, however, the sell-off turned global over renewed fears of slower global economic growth and that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa is not going to be contained.
However, it is the eurozone that is causing the most worry. There has been fall-off in German exports and they are fears that Europe's power-house may be skirting with recession.
Running behind all this is the long-term worries that central banks may remove stimulus before their sick economies are well enough to stand on their own legs.
As Shane Oliver, chief economist at AMP Capital Investors describes it, large parts of the global economy have been induced into a "coma" by central banks since the GFC.
Interest rates in Europe and the US are near zero and, in America the dollar bill printing presses have been running, a process known technically as "quantitative easing".
But the medicine will have to be removed. The question that worries investors is whether the patient will be able get up from the hospital bed, unaided, after the stimulus is removed.
While the US is, once again, tapering its money printing program, the expectations of weaker global growth and volatility on sharemarkets will likely push out the day that interest rates around the world, including Australia, will start to rise.
The question investors will want answered is whether the falls are just a correction – the pause that refreshes — or the start of something nastier.
"My instinct tells me it is just a correction," Dr Oliver says.
Investors' memories of the bear market between 2008 and 2011 are still vivid, he said. Investors have not been "exuberant" as they were just before the GFC and have remained sceptical and cautious.
The Australian sharemarket is cheap, Dr Oliver says, and it looks as if markets could be building a floor, though the volatility is expected to continue, he says.
Michael Heffernan, a senior client adviser and economist at Lonsec sharebrokers regards the volatility as a "great opportunity" for shares investors.
"This is not 2008 through to 2011," he says.
"In my view there is no fundamental difference between now and six weeks ago," he says.
"Good stocks are down 7 or 8 per cent," he says. Telstra, for example, with its share price down to about $5.40, is a good opportunity, he says.

Providing your child with the highest standard of care also means making their braces and orthodontic treatment affordable. The cost may vary, depending on your son or daughter's individual needs, the type of braces, and the orthodontic treatment plan. Our doctors and team will discuss these costs and each of your available payment plan options with you, so you can make the best possible choice for your child's new smile.
With the Spark Smile Assessment, your child's consultation for braces is on us…
That's $250 you could save, just for choosing us first.
We work with you to create a financial agreement that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before your child begins treatment. Furthermore, we offer low- and no-interest financing directly through our orthodontic offices in Reading, Bethlehem, Schnecksville, Schuylkill Haven, Lancaster, and York PA. We are proud of our reputation for being a generous, flexible office when it comes to your financial arrangements.
Many offices do not accept orthodontic insurance and therefore hold their patients' parents responsible for collecting from the insurance company. Other offices 'accept' the insurance, but the doctor is not a participating provider with the insurance company. As a result, your child is unable to receive the maximum benefit of your insurance plan (i.e., a lower or "capped" treatment fee with greater insurance coverage).
At Spark Orthodontics, we are committed to helping you maximize your insurance benefits. To that end, we proudly participate with many PPO insurances to ensure that our patients receive the highest possible service and care at the lowest possible cost per treatment. We are happy to do a complimentary check of your insurance benefits at the time of your child's Spark Smile Assessment. Then, in the unlikely chance we do not participate with your insurance provider, as a courtesy we will file your claims so you don't have to worry about any paperwork!
Our PA orthodontic offices accepts payments by check, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. We offer low- and no-interest financing options with the lowest monthly payments of any other orthodontic office in the PA area. Depending on your circumstances, you can pay as little as 0% down and enjoy low monthly payments for up to 5 years.
Ready to make an appointment for your child's free Spark Smile Assessment? Please contact us at 610.865.2777 or simply click here. Ask about our unsurpassed, smile guarantee on braces and orthodontic treatment!
Spark Orthodontics can help you or your loved one achieve a smile that benefits dental health as much as it increases confidence. However, we want you to feel confident that your choice in an orthodontist in Pennsylvania (PA) is the right one. Follow the steps below to start your journey towards the smile you've always dreamed of.

VIDEO: MOMENT Russian ambassador SHOT DEAD in TURKEY in 'assassination in revenge for Aleppo'
And the catastrophic consequences of Obama's foreign policy failures grow exponentially. What a horrible mess of things he has left for President-elect Trump.
Jihad in Turkey.
Russia's ambassador to Turkey has been assassinated in front of terrified witnesses allegedly in retaliation for the crisis in Aleppo.
How much did Erdogan (Obama's "favorite" "most trusted foreign leader) know? Tensions between Russia and Turkey have escalated of late. Was the taking of Aleppo the casus belli? It feels eerily like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo. Five weeks later the world was at war.

Russian ambassador to Turkey dead after being shot in 'assassination attempt in revenge for Aleppo'
The gunman reportedly said 'We die in Aleppo, you die here' before opening fire and injuring Ambassador Andrei Karlov
The Mirror, December 18, 2016
The gunman reportedly said in Turkish "We die in Aleppo, you die here" before opening fire and killing Ambassador Andrei Karlov.
The attacker was fatally shot by police after wounding Mr Karlov and at least three others, according to state TV.
Mr Karlov was delivering a speech at an art gallery in the capital of Ankara when the gunman fired a shot into the air and then shot the ambassador in a suspected radical Islamic attack, the Hurriyet newspaper reported.
(Photo: Anadolu)
The gunman allegedly entered the gallery with police identification, and Mr Karlov reportedly did not have a security detail with him.
Three others were reportedly wounded as the shooting continued and people fled for their lives.
The attack and the aftermath were captured on camera.
Photos and video published online by Turkish media showed Mr Karlov and a second person on the floor after being shot.
Photos showed the attacker, wearing a black suit, standing near Mr Karlov with his hands clasped before pulling out a handgun in his right hand.
The gunman extended his right arm and pointed the gun at Mr Karlov before opening fire, and then gestured with his left index finger pointed into the air after shooting the ambassador.https://twitter.com/cnnturk/status/810900269844299776Click to play

Mr Karlov was attending the opening of an exhibition at Ankara's Centre for Contemporary Arts when the gun attack occurred.
The Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin was holding an emergency meeting.
Russia is Syria's most powerful ally and has played a significant role in the Syrian government's attempts to eradicate rebel groups across the country.
In recent weeks pro-government forces have made rapid advances on rebel-held territory in war-torn Aleppo, leaving many people dead or wounded.
After rebels were driven into an enclave in eastern Aleppo after heavy bombing a ceasefire was brokered by Russian and Turkish officials.
It included a plan to evacuate thousands of rebels and civilians, including women and children, from Aleppo to rebel-held territory in Idlib province in north-western Syria.

I'd greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who flew to Newfoundland from the US last summer which airline you used; what you paid for the flight; how far in advance you reserved; and how pleased you were with your arrangements. We're going next summer and thinking about when to make our move. Specifically we want to fly into St. John's and out from Deer Lake (seems to cost the same as the simple round trip to St. Johns) from Kansas City but I'd be interested in any U.S. points of departure. Thanks very much.

Costs of flying from US to Newfoundland

best bet is to try expedia

One thought would be to fly KC to Toronto on whichever of United /Air Canada or American is cheaper, then fly Toronto to St. John's on Canjet, one of Canada's economy air carriers that provides service to St. John's and Deer Lake from Toronto.
Air Canada generally runs one non-stop daily from MCI to Toronto, and has a codeshare partnership with United. Check out the Air Canada website for their 'Tango' fares which can be quite good and offer the convenience of using a single carrier all the way through.
Do you have any Nfld questions? It's one of my favourite places anywhere!
Report Abuse
The problem with using Canjet is that, so far as I know, as a budget airline it does not have interline agreements with other airlines. This means that you would have to check in separately in Toronto, including your baggage. It also means that if there are delays on one airline, you would be out of luck with the other. If you were planning to stay over in Toronto that would not be so much of a problem, but could mean more than a minor inconvenience if you were not.
I believe that Canjet flies directly to Newfoundland from New York (LaGuardia), but I don't know whether that would help you or not. You would still have the same interline problem.
Report Abuse
I think Air Canada is the best bet here. AC is the only airline that serves both your origin and destination. If something goes wrong and a conection is missed they will get you to your destination somehow. Their web site, aircanada.com, is easy to figure out.
When to buy is the eternal question. I normally buy as soon as I know my itinerary as long as the fares don't seem out of line. That said I was recently on an AC flight to London booked months ago when I met a passenger who had booked the day before and paid a bit less than me.
Enjoy Newfoundland, it's a great place.

As a (now) resident of Western Newfoundland and living here in Corner Brook(which is about 40 minutes from Deer Lake airport) for 4 months now, I am very interested in your proposed trip.Do come back to this forum when you are looking for more specifics!

Hi James,
I'm also planning a trip to Newfoundland from the US for next summer. There seems to be no competition to Newfoundland from the US, which means that the airfare is fairly constant and high. I've been keeping an eye on the fare from Atlanta to St. John's and it has been consistently around $700 (no matter what dates I put in the search engine -February or July). Good luck finding a decent fare; from what I understand (this will be my first trip to Newfoundland), it will be worth it whatever you end up paying to get there!
Report Abuse
I appreciate everyone's comments and would still be interested in hearing from anyone who has actually made the trip. Regardless, my experience is just like Kendra's...a range of roughly $770-$830 from Kansas City regardless of when.
Kendra, for what it's worth, the best car rental deals I've found so far are from Budget. Taxes on car rentals are very high and 100 km (yeah, km) per day is the standard mileage allowance. My wife and I will clearly spend more on a car than we will on flights.

We have flown from Philadelphia to St. John's twice. Both times we ended up taking AC. Both times I monitored the prices from many, many months. And both times we flew for less than $400 US. The first time (3 years ago) we flew for around $250 RT each. I booked it in perhaps March/April for a July trip. I thought that might have been a mistake fare in that I haven't seen it close to that again. This past September we flew for around $390 RT each and I booked that in late July/early August. I found the best rates by going directly to Air Canada's website and found that Wed/Thurs were the best days. The low prices are only posted for a day or so (and both times Travelocity, Expedia, etc. did not have them), so you need to know your dates and act immediately. The risk of waiting is probably small in that if you cannot snag a low rate you can just pay the higher rate at a closer date. Continental Airlines has a nonstop daily from Newark to St. John's. You may be able to do something with that as far as connections. I was a bit nervous about it even though it is a quicker flight because there is only 1 a day. My experience it is easier to change flights in Toronto than Montreal. For a rental car you may want to look at Enterprise. It is not at the airport, but you can take a cab to it. They seem to have pretty good prices and lots of specials and sometimes you can get a car without a per km rate. As far as the airport rentals, we have found that Avis (or perhaps it was Hertz) has the lowest per km rate (for a compact car) which can make a huge difference if you are driving across the island. You may want to look into picking up a subscription to Downhome(r) magazine. It has ads for local car rentals, etc., which may help with your planning. Rental cars can be hard to come by if you wait, so I would suggest you don't wait to long for that.
Hope this helps some.

Hi James L:
My son, now living in Vermont, flys home to Newfoundland several times a year. He finds it easier to drive from Vermont to Toronto or Montreal leave the car and catch a flight home. Very cheap in some cases $59 -$99 CDN one way. An option if you want to explore a little of mainland Canada before coming to the best kept secret in North America IMHO.
For those of you further south I'd check the stopover cities (its usually, Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa, sometimes Boston) and I've done this on the Air Canada, West Jet and Can Jet sites,is to book from your departure airport to Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal and then book from there to St. John's, Deer Lake, etc. We did this from Orlando last year and it was dirt cheap like $450 CDN RT. Also a few years ago Continential (wonder if they are still in business) was flying in and out of Boston and points in Florida during the summer months here.
Enjoy and "long may your big jib draw".

Afghans are one of the most common crocheted objects because afghans serve a useful purpose, are relatively easy to make, make great presents and can be customized in countless ways. The Jacob's Ladder afghan is unique because ladders are formed out of chain stitches and then twisted together to look like columns of knitting. Jacob's Ladder afghans are not difficult, because simple stitches are used such as chaining and double crochet and the most complex stitch used is the double or triple front post stitch.
Things You'll Need
- Size J crochet hook (US size)
- Approximately 3500 yards worsted-weight yarn
- Stitch holders or safety pins
- Scissors
Chain until you have a chain (that is multiples of ten) the width you want for the afghan. Keep in mind that most afghans need about 240 to 300 chains for an adequate width. Also remember that the construction method of the Jacob's Ladder part of the afghan means that the afghan will get slightly smaller width-wise when finished.
Skip four chains and double crochet in each of the next nine chains.
Chain ten.
Skip the next ten chains.
Double crochet in each of the next ten chains.
Continue to chain ten, skip ten chains and double crochet in the next ten chains until the end of the row. Turn.
Continue in the same manner as you did for row one for every row until the afghan is the size you want. Do not bind off.
Find the right column of chains. It should look like a ladder.
Pull the bottom chain over the chain above, or the second chain, on the ladder.
Pull the second chain on the ladder over the (third) chain above.
Continue to pull the current chain over the chain above until the top of the chain ladder.
Put a stitch holder into the top chain loop to prevent the loop from slipping out.
Repeat the same method you used for the first chain ladder with each chain ladder in the afghan.
Crochet a border around the afghan, with single or double crochet in each stitch, starting where you ended adding rows to the afghan. When you get to each top loop of the chain ladder, slip stitch in the loop. When you get to each bottom gap, double or triple front post crochet in both sides of the gap at the same time.
Join the border together with a slip stitch. Make a knot in the yarn and cut the yarn with scissors leaving 4 inches. Pull the tail of yarn into the afghan with a crochet hook.
Tips & Warnings
- Combine yarn leftovers to make a colorful afghan with random color patterns.
- Make sure you buy enough yarn if you are using one color to match the color's dye lot. It is better to buy more yarn than you need to be safe. According to Lion Brand Yarn, you will need 3450 yards of worsted-weight yarn to make a 60 inch square afghan. Yarn skein labels list the yardage contained in one skein.

Toxic Love
by Malcolm Smith
Does someone else call the shots in your life ... a husband, wife, teenage child, or perhaps a mother who has not yet let you leave the nest though you have a family of your own? Does that someone else control whether you feel happy or sad, whether you feel good about yourself or feel that life is not worth living?
Do you belive that you are loving this person, and being to them what God wants you to be? Do you feel that you are living a selfless life that will soon be rewarded by a change that will bring about the coveted happiness you long for?
If you find yourself answering in the affirmative, then it is possible that you have fallen for one of the most despicable lies of the devil - a lie that will keep you from enjoying all that Christ has purchased for you. It will, in fact, leave you in a state of misery and despair much of the time. Let me explain.
When God created man, He placed within him certain needs that God alone could fill. The need for love could only be met by union with God who Himself is love, the source of love in all His creation. The need for self-worth could only be filled and enjoyed by man as he lived in the realization that he was created by God, in His image and likeness, and was the special object of His love.
The devil called to man with the lie that was to shape human history - that, if he would make a declaration of independence from God, he would reach his fullest potential and be like God, independently of Him. Man believed the lie ... that in and of himself he can be perfect, self-contained, self-sufficient and totally in control of his destiny type person. He has reached for the goal of being superhuman, independent of God. Man's image of God has been of the One who judged his performance and, hopefully, at the end, would admit that man had achieved his own goal.
Man soon came to the sickening realization that, although he believed the lie, he was unable to make it work in his life. Added to the true guilt of sin and the lost consciousness of love and self-worth, was the shame brought about by the knowledge that he could not be the person the devil said he would be.
Where shall he now turn for love and the sense of self-worth that he knows he was made for? He turns to his fellow human beings. He looks to other creatures to give him the assurance that he is loveable, significant, important and valuable.
Understand the path he has chosen. It is doomed to fail from the start. If love originates in God alone, another creature cannot give man what his heart is craving. But worse, in so doing, man has placed a creature in the place reserved for God. He is an idolater with idols made of flesh, vainly believing that, from the idol, there will come the answer to the emptiness within.
Paul wrote us about this in Romans 1:25 (margin), when he spelled out the downward spiral of the human race:
"For they exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the creator.."
How does this work out in our everyday life? We seek the approval, happiness and the togetherness - you might say salvation - of a significant person in our life. When we have achieved our goal of making them happy, and they give their smile of approval, their murmur of praise, we feel loveable. The warm glow of "feeling good about ourselves" flushed through our being. We feel important - everything is and forever will be wonderful.
Strangely, the person we live to make happy is often he source of all our hurts and pains! A wife beater, an alcoholic, a drug user, the teenage delinquent, the workaholic who abuses by neglect ... the list goes on and on. The craving to make them happy, to save them from all their problems and make everything right, becomes the meaning of life; and a mirage of a day when everything will be perfect draws the captive onward.
We go through like seeking the happiness of others in return for the elusive feeling of self-worth and the sense of being loved ... and we may experience it from time to time. Of course, most of the time we fail to be everything the other person wants us to be, and failure plunges us into oceans of guilt and shame. Feelings of worthlessness and rejection flood us when we have failed to please the other person. Many people live in this kind of guilt most of the time.
Why do such people keep going back for more, even though they will come away saying, "I will never do that again ... no one appreciates me"? It is because their identity as a person is wrapped up in being affirmed and made to feel good by the other person. What they were created to receive only from God, they are searching in the creature. To give it up, would be to give up their perception of their personhood.
Tragically, this is portrayed in many churches as being humble, a selfless servant of the church. It is the counterfeit of all those words! It is born of the same lie that also spawned the false gospel that says we must perform in order to be loveable to God. It is not loving from a knowledge of personal self-worth, but rather a toxic love that ultimately destroys both the doer and receiver.
This toxic love feels responsible to make the whole world happy!
These are the people who always come through for the family ... a family who always knows where to turn. The reward is in those warm words, "We knew we could count on you!" We feel important, significant, because another person needs us. We feed on the need to be needed.
But when the savior fails to save, and the messiah fails to come through with all that is needed, the guilt is devastating. The possibility if that happening sends many of these people into a paralysis of fear. They refuse to get involved ... they know they will not be able to meet all of the needs. These people live in guilt of what they should and ought to be doing; they berate themselves as worthless and useless.
This counterfeit love walks in darkness and is totally confused. It shows the reversal of responsibilities. One who seeks self-worth in the response of someone else, sees every mood of that other person as their responsibility.
If the person you desire to affirm you is angry today, immediately the thought springs to mind, "What have I done? If they are angry it is my fault!" If they are silent, guilt floods the toxic lover, "I must have done something to upset them!" Of course when they are happy, then it is because I have done something to please them.
It works the other way too. If I am angry, the other person is to blame because of what they did. If I am sad, it is because the other person will not change. My happiness is found in the other person's approval of my actions.
This is a total reversal of Scriptures which teaches throughout that we each are responsible for our own emotions and actions. Even if you do wrong to me, I am responsible for my anger and bitterness. I cannot blame you. Toxic love reverses all responsibilities, and calls this normal.
When Jesus spoke of love He did not simply say, "LOVE ONE ANOTHER," but specified the kind of love - "AS I HAVE LOVED YOU!" Jesus loved as man was intended to love-out of fullness ... not out of a need to evoke love from another person.
God's love AGAPE is not driven; it is not compulsive. God CHOSE to love us; He did not need us to complete Himself. Grace, by definition, is that of choice on God's part to love the undeserving. Love which is driven, needed love, does not have its origin in God.
The last twenty-four hours that Jesus spent on earth, in the company of His disciples, shows the roots of agape. After three years of public and private teaching, the disciples are going to the upper room to eat the Last Supper. They are in a state of angry comparison ... arguing as to who is the greatest.
How does Jesus react? If He had operated from the toxic counterfeit form of love, He would have had thoughts something like; "They are very upset tonight; it must be my fault! If I had been all they needed me to be, they would be smiling and happy. I will have to take responsibility and do the job myself!" Or, "I can't stand arguing tonight - not tonight! Everything has got to be just right and perfect on a night like this. I will wash their feet, and maybe that will make them happy."
Instead the scripture takes time to tell us exactly where Jesus was coming from.
He loved and served out of the fullness of knowing the love the Father had for Him (John 13:1-4). Knowing His eternal worth, He did not do what He did in order to give Himself a sense of self-being or significance, or to make Himself more loveable to the disciples. He acted out of who He knew Himself to be.
Observe how He deals with the problem person in the group. Peter is known for his mindless prattle, and the ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Now he is boasting of how he will never forsake Jesus, even though everyone else will undoubtedly will.
Jesus loves Peter and knows that Satan often seeks to sift him as wheat on the thrashing floor. How does Agape express Himself?
If He loved with the toxic counterfeit, He would want everything to be under control, everyone to be happy, and they would all thank Him for it. He might have said, "Peter, its been a long day, I want you to stay home tonight. There might be some trouble later on, and I think you would be better getting a good night's sleep!" He would have fixed Peter's problem by taking responsibility to shield Peter.
Instead, Jesus simply informed Peter of the way things were going to go, told him that he was being prayed for and then left Peter to grow up by being forced to see himself and make his own decisions as a responsible adult. When he fell, Jesus did not reject him, or heap condemnation, or say, "I told you so." Rather, He was there to move him into a new life of responsibility.
Is the sense of well being that comes from truly loving a person sin? No! Jesus taught that it would be there. In Luke 15, He tells of the gathering of the neighbors and friends to celebrate the finding of the lost; the return of the lost son calls for the killing of the fatted calf and dancing and rejoicing. But the shepherd didn't go looking for sheep in order to get dinner that night! The father did not welcome home the rebel son because he desperately needed the eat the calf.
The overflowing joy that comes when agape acts is the bonus that is thrown in, not the reason for the act.
How do we move from toxic love to agape? First, we must face the serious nature of this type of idolatry and open our hearts to the Holy Spirit. We must ask Him to show us if this is the problem which has been strangling our spiritual life since we came to Christ. We must call it by its name, idolatry-placing the creature in the place that belongs only to God.
Then, we must ask the Holy Spirit to show us we are loved unconditionally by God ... that He has both revealed His love for us and our value to Him in that Jesus died and rose again for us. Let the Spirit show you; "He loved ME and gave Himself for ME." I make emphasis on the Spirit teaching us this. This is not something one learns in a lecture, but only from the One who IS the Teacher and Counselor himself.
Finally, pray the prayer of Ephesians 1:17-19; 3:14-21; Colossians 1:9-12; Philippians 1:9-11; and 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.
As you meditate on the love of God shown you in the Lord Jesus, and the value placed upon you in that you are purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ, you will begin to live out of who you are ... not from what another person's approval or disapproval can make you.
Out of that sense of acceptance by God, you will begin to take responsibility for your emotions and actions. You are not a poor worthless piece of garbage blown by everyone else's wind; you are a child of God, and Christ lives His life in you. You act within life, not react to it.
This will not happen overnight, and there will be failures along the way. But as you yield to the Spirit, He will renew you to the love of God as your lifestyle.
It is true freedom to live by His smiling approval, rather than the smile that seldom comes from the people you are struggling to please. It is freedom to stop feverishly worrying and fretting; stop trying to make everything work out right. Instead, you will find yourself happy to commit the other people to God and allow Him to do what is needed to bring them to the full life that He has for them in Christ.
It is a load off your shoulders, as well as idolatry out of your heart, to stop playing the role of savior. Put people in the hands of the only Savior, and rest, knowing that He does all things well.

Anime is a worldwide phenomenon. How else can someone describe this recent collaboration between Gainax and a Saudi Arabian media company called ARiNAT?
The two companies released a trailer for their joint anime production called Desert Knight (Sabaku no Kishi), a new anime series featuring Arab knights. The anime will feature both Japanese and Arabic text.
Hiroyuki Yamaga, the president of GAINAX commented, 'We are very excited to collaborate with the Middle East at the forefront in the field of animation and contents production. We hope that we will create new works by new work processes and new ideas through the partnership.'
ARiNAT is the acronym of the Saudi Arabian company Arab Innovative Arts and Technologies. The company focuses on the preparation and distribution of comics, games, and animation.
GAINAX is of the leading Japanese animation studios, known for titles like Curren Lagann and Neon Genesis Evangelion, among others.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
The recent launch of Google Wallet shows Google is making a serious play in the mobile space.
The Google Wallet offering makes Google a part of the entire mobile purchase cycle from finding local merchants, right through to payment. However this is not the last mobile innovation we will see from Google.
Earlier this year, Google rolled out mobile "Check-in" offers to national retailers like Radio Shack, Arby's and Macy's. This service invites users to check-in at local merchants to unlock offers and special deals.
The good news is that Google looks likely to make these offers available to a wider range of businesses, perhaps nationally. According to a recently uncovered Google help page (via this post),
When users for businesses using Google for mobile devices, they'll be able to access your Google Places Offer on their phone. You can also offer special deals to visitors if they check in online when they visit your business. Instead of printing out a paper coupon, customers can simply bring in their mobile device to redeem the offer — which means it's a great and simple way to save trees, too!
All Google Places offers are created in both mobile and desktop formats, so all you have to do is create an offer. If you'd like to offer a check-in option, simply select the appropriate type of customer in the "Target customers" field when you create the offer.
From this help page it looks like Google will be providing mobile check-in offers to a much wider range of merchants. It also looks like this will be provided free of charge to merchants and offer some kind of targeting options.
This will help local businesses to reward local customers and market their business across mobile devices and social networks.
There has been no response from Google on an expected release date at this stage, but I would not say it is too far off.
