"…although you live in the colony of time, your ultimate allegiance is to the empire of eternity. … Therefore, your ultimate allegiance is not to the government, not to the state, not to the nation, not to any man-made institution. The Christian owes his ultimate allegiance to God, and if any earthly institution conflicts with God's will, it is your Christian duty to take a stand against it. You must never allow the transitory, evanescent demands of man-made institutions to take precedence over the eternal demands of the Almighty God."—Martin Luther King, "A Letter to Christians" (3 June 1958)

First Monday in Advent
"Advent is a season of silence and rest with God. Take time to focus and examine your conscience. What is the shape of your emptiness? How are you still connected to God's abiding beauty? This Advent, how will you fulfill the work of giving Christ life?"—Caryll Houselander, woodcarver and mystic
"When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, appealing to him and saying, 'Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, in terrible distress.'" —Matthew 8: 5-6
Advent is a time of ambiguity. It invites us to embrace conflicting images. Not to harmonize them into one, but to simply let our soul be tempered and strengthened by the fire this conflict creates.
In the story of the centurion asking Jesus to heal his servant, we have the warrior and the weak. Our imagination expects several things.
First, since Jesus has just healed a leper, one of the least of these, maybe he's tired and doesn't need to heal again.
Second, Jesus isn't a collaborator with the Romans. Why would he even speak with a centurion—storm trooper of the state?
Third, we expect the mighty centurion to ask for something for himself or one of his family—not to act with compassion for a servant.
Finally, we don't expect the Roman commander to become an occasion for Jesus to be amazed, saying, "Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith."
Today, pay attention to your response to ambiguity.
Breathe in. Breathe out. It's Ad…..vent.

Jim Perkinson: The Social Movements of Jesus
Jim Perkinson is a long-time activist and educator from inner city Detroit, where he has a history of involvement in various community development initiatives and low-income housing projects. He holds a PhD in theology from the University of Chicago and is in demand as a speaker on a wide variety of topics (especially race, class & colonialism). Our friends over at Radical Discipleship interviewed Jim on his 2014 work Messianism Against Christology: Resistance Movements, Folk Arts and Empire.
One could spend all of the season of Lent praying deeply with Jim's first response:
Radical Discipleship: What's the difference between "messianism" and "christology?"
Jim Perkinson: Messianism Against Christology: Resistance Movements, Folk Arts and Empire is a work committed to re-thinking the Christian tradition from the point of view of social movements rather than magnified individuals. Jesus was a movement man—as were Moses and Elijah before him, and John the Baptist alongside him. "Messianism" is a word drafted into service as a movement term. Rather than focus on a great individual called "Jesus" comprehended as "the Christ," the book examines his effort as part of a broader resistance initiative. The social movement launched by John was already in motion when Jesus first opts to begin public action. Baptism under John's hands meant plunging into a project centered on recovery of living relationship to the lower Jordan watershed. His movement "initiated" one into a new relationship with the land, based on much older traditions and skills of doing so, dating back to Israel's "birth" as a maroon movement of slaves, walking out of imperial Egypt and being re-schooled for 40 years in the Sinai desert, under Moses. Re-imagined as "messianism," "christo-logy"—the "logic" of the christos—is then profiled as referring to any initiative of courageous folk, who partially or fully step outside of an imperial domination system to begin recovery of a more just and sustainable way of dwelling in a local ecology or watershed. The focus is not on a "great man" idea of "salvation" (or "being made whole"), but on catching sight of the ways popular resistance can "open up" embodied memory of more indigenous ways of living in symbiotic reciprocity with a particular bioregion. "Salvation" or wholeness here is not aimed at some fraction of the person called a "soul,' but an entire way of dwelling in a given locale. The emphasis is not on individual traits, but community relations between human beings and on that community's return to a living relationship to local plants and animals, soils and waters, seasons and cycles. Any movement managing to invoke and partially embody that older ability (which we all shared at some point way back in our evolutionary history as hunter-gatherer peoples) is "read" as partially "incarnating" what we mean by "Christology." I simply call it "messianism" to emphasize its movement character. …

Richard Rohr: Losing Nonviolence … And Finding It Again
"I'm told that the word "nonviolence" did not exist (at least in the English and German languages) until the 1950s. There's a reason for that: the notion didn't exist in our consciousness. We didn't create a word for it because we didn't get it yet! When Gandhi came along, he pointed out that every religion in the world knows that Jesus of Nazareth taught and lived nonviolence except one religion—Christianity. In very short order, after Gandhi, this became obvious to many wise people throughout the world.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was the one who most influenced our American culture regarding nonviolence. That's why I speak of it as a recovery of nonviolence. We had it, but we couldn't hear it, especially after Christianity became the imperial religion. When you're imperial, you can't hear any talk of nonviolence. You have to be violent to be an empire. So after 313 AD, we pretty much lost the nonviolent teaching of Jesus and it was not recovered until the twentieth century. It's sort of unbelievable, but in between, nonviolence was almost universally forgotten, denied, or ignored as Christianity needed to justify its own violence."–Richard Rohr, OFM (Adapted from Fr. Richard's teachings on his lineage)
Richard Rohr: The Political Subversion of 'Jesus Is Lord'
"Jesus is Lord" (Romans 10:10) was proclaimed by the early church as their most concise creedal statement. No one ever told me this was a political and subversive statement, until I studied the Scriptures. To say "Jesus is Lord" was testing and provoking the Roman pledge of allegiance that every Roman citizen had to shout when they raised their hand to the Roman insignia: "Caesar is Lord." Early Christians were quite aware that their "citizenship" was in a new universal kingdom, announced by Jesus (Philippians 3:20), and that the kingdoms of this world were not their primary loyalty systems. How did we manage to lose that? And what price have we paid for it?
Jesus showed no undue loyalty either to his Jewish religion nor to his Roman-occupied Jewish country; instead, he radically critiqued both of them, and in that he revealed and warned against the idolatrous relationships that most people have with their country and their religion. It has allowed us to justify violence in almost every form and to ignore much of the central teaching of Jesus.–Richard Rohr, OFM

Pete King is on the Wrong Track
Pete King is on the wrong track. In America, we don't segregate people by where they go to church.
Faith leaders in New York, organized by Pax Christi/Long Island, sent a public letter this week to Rep. Peter King (R-NY) asking him to call off his hearing on Capitol Hill that promote Islamophobia. (Additionally, 50 Members of Congress did the same.) More than 80 religious and peace leaders signed the statement saying:
Protecting our nation requires allegiance to the fundamental values that give life to our democracy. A commitment to pluralism and respect for diversity are strengths in the fight against terrorism. We agree that law enforcement must find practical solutions to stop terrorism, whether these threats come from religious or non-religious extremists. Muslim-Americans have consistently denounced terrorism and worked closely with law enforcement to prevent violence. Building and maintaining trust with the Muslim community is crucial to furthering this cooperation, and we fear your hearings will only sow greater distrust and division at a time when unity and moral courage are needed. …
Let us remember the lessons of history. Entire communities should never be targeted for suspicion of disloyalty. During World War II, Japanese Americans were deprived of their rights and forced into internment camps because of blanket distrust of their commitment to our country. The McCarthy hearings became a shameful national spectacle that falsely impugned the loyalty and destroyed the lives of many Americans. Catholics were once demonized as threats to democracy beholden to a foreign power. Jews and African Americans have faced centuries of suspicion and prejudice. Today, Muslim-Americans in many communities face fierce opposition when they propose to build mosques and worship peacefully. A growing number of Muslims are victims of hate crimes. This bigotry and discrimination, rooted in fear and ignorance, diminishes us all and unfairly maligns Americans who teach our children, serve our country, live peacefully and believe in the American dream.
"I am disappointed that these religious leaders and peace advocates wish to obstruct my search for the truth," King responded. "Obviously, I am going forward with my hearings into Muslim radicalization."
Sr. Jeanne Clark, a member of Pax Christi/Long Island, has spoken eloquently about why Catholics should be very clear in condemning religious intolerance and should instead hold up examples of interreligious partnerships.
Over 80 religious leaders, social justice advocates and people of faith on Long Island sent the congressman a letter urging him to cancel these misguided hearings. Many of us recently gathered in prayerful protest in front of his office.
Although Congressman King has insisted that his hearings will focus on Islamic extremism, his own rhetoric suggests that he will cast a cloud of suspicion over the entire Muslim community. He told a radio host that radicals lead 80 percent of mosques and once described Muslims as "an enemy living amongst us."
Leaders across the political spectrum agree that we must work together to prevent terrorist attacks. My opposition to King's hearings isn't motivated by "political correctness" or a naïve belief that evil does not exist in the world.
Rather, we need a different approach because I fear these hearings will undermine practical approaches to confronting violent extremism in all its forms and threaten our most inspiring ideals as a nation. –Sr. Jeanne Clark
No person who has sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution should be allowed to targeting a single religious group. It threatens democratic values and let's the terrorists win.
As Christians we can read King's approach through the biblical lens of empire. King's rhetoric and actions are part and parcel of imperial projects bent on a strategy of "divide and conquer." As Christians we hold an alternative vision, we practice a "divine counterstrategy" that elevates rich cultural diversity as part of what strengthens the human family.

Jason Goroncy on Resisting Evil
New Zealander Jason Goroncy blogs down under at Per Crucem ad Lucem. I greatly appreciated his riffing off my earlier post Guantanamo: When Will it Get Foreclosed? and providing the deep theological framework necessary for understanding the times in which we live.
Jason is a Presbyterian Minister of Word and Sacrament who teaches theology, church history, and pastoral care, and serves as Dean of Studies, at the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership, the ministry training centre for the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. He writes:
Vince Boudreau's book Resisting Dictatorship: Repression and Protest in Southeast Asia begins with these words:
There are times and places about which nothing seems more significant than the sheer energy and violence that states direct against basic freedoms. The snippets of information that filter from these dictatorial seasons – tales of furtive hiding and tragic discovery: hard times and uneasy sleep – describe lives utterly structured by state repression. Authoritarians bent on taking power, consolidating their rule or seizing resources frequently silence opponents with bludgeons, bullets and shallow graves, and those who find themselves in the path of the state juggernaut probably have trouble even imagining protest or resistance without also calculating the severity or likelihood of state repression. Such considerations surely influence whether individuals take action or maintain a frustrated silence, and will over time broadly shape protest and resistance. (p. 1)
My long interest in the people and politics of Burma, in particular, means that I think a lot about this kind of stuff, and particularly about how the community of God might witness to and in the midst of such situations where the abuses of authority birth such blatantly evil fruit and where the climate of hope has been beclouded in fear. [Rose Marie Berger's recent post on Guantanamo: When Will it Get Foreclosed?, for example, recalled such fruit in another part of the world]. Certainly, all human relationships and institutions live under the constant threat of the abuse of power. And even a cursory reading of history will reveal that the Church too has been both victim and perpetrator of such abuse. (I am aware that already I have used the words authority and power interchangeably here. Certainly they are at least related, and the proper understanding and use of each will decide whether the ways being pursued bring the fragrance of life or the stench of death to a situation.)
The question Jason raises is this: How does the Church or Christians resist the Powers' abuse as described by Boudreau? Do we take action or "maintain a frustrated silence"? And what are the "weapons of the spirit" with which God arms the friends of Jesus?
Jason explores the role of worship and deep relationship with those who are dispossessed in confronting the death-dealing forces in our world.

What Wikileaks is Teaching Us about Empire
I've been going back and forth on what I think about the Wikileaks release of State Department cables. I generally come down on the side of Wikileaks, but the State Dept memos dump seemed more like a stunt, as opposed to the earlier release of Iraq material. Francis Shor's essay, WikiLeaks, Ideological Legitimacy, and the Crisis of Empire, excerpted below, helped me analyze the information release and especially the dangerous backlash through the lens of how empires operate. Empires are almost always antithetical to the dreams of God for how humanity can be. They sacrifice human dignity and feed on fear.
Shor teaches at Wayne State in Detroit and wrote "Dying Empire: U.S. Imperialism and Global Resistance" (find more on the web site www.dyingempire.org). I particularly appreciate Shor bringing in Filipino scholar-activist Walden Bello, a leading defender of empowering the Global South.
While empires try to maintain their hegemony through economic and military prowess, they must also rely on a form of ideological legitimacy to guarantee their rule. Such legitimacy is often embedded in the geopolitical reputation of the empire among its allies and reluctant admirers. Once that reputation begins to unravel, the empire appears illegitimate. …
Given the battered economic and military standing of the United States over the past several years, the hysterical reaction of the American political class over the recent release of State Department cables by WikiLeaks is not surprising. However, it is instructive to note the response of those in the West to such "displays (of) imperial arrogance and hypocrisy" as reported by Steven Erlanger in The New York Times. Erlanger cites an important editorial from the Berliner Zeitung that underscores the question of ideological legitimacy: "The U.S. is betraying one of its founding myths: freedom of information. And they are doing so now, because for the first time since the end of the cold war, they are threatened with losing worldwide control of information." …
In their desperation to retain the empire, the US political class is undermining the remaining vestiges of the empire's legitimacy over the WikiLeaks affair. They may also be preparing to expand the definition of treason to include those who are dedicated, as is Assange and WikiLeaks, to freedom of information, especially when it reveals the duplicities of empire. Beyond WikiLeaks, the crisis of empire, according to Filipino scholar-activist Walden Bello, "bodes well not only for the rest of the world. It may also benefit the people of the United States. It opens up the possibility of Americans relating to other people as equals and not as masters." …

Christian Support for Repealing DADT Is a Double-Edged Sword
Most Americans – including Christians – now support equal rights for gays and lesbians serving in the US military.
A new poll by the Pew Research Center indicates that 58 percent of Americans support equal rights for gays and lesbians in the armed forces. Large majorities of Democrats (70%) and independents (62%) favor allowing gays to serve openly. Republicans are divided (40% favor, 44% oppose).
But let's look at the religious breakdown too:
62 percent of white mainline Protestants support equal rights for gays in the military
52 percent of black Protestants support equal rights
66 percent of Catholics favor allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly
Let me be clear, I'm very glad to have Christians moving toward a strong stance in support of equal rights for gays and lesbians in all sectors of society. This is a positive step forward for the society at large and Christians should be part of it.
The Pentagon report released yesterday finds significant support for repealing DADT among the the younger "blue collar warriors," while a vocal minority of top brass will be uncomfortable with the shift. And don't get me wrong, I want the churches to continue to support fair and equal treatment for gays and lesbians.
However, there are other sticky questions I want to raise.
Are the Christians that want a repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell also supporting gays and lesbians within their own churches? Do they advocate for LGBT justice and liberation? Do they invest in and promote gay and lesbian leadership and open their congregations to new, liberating ways of reading scripture in the context of the LGBT life experience?
Secondly, are the Christians that want a repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell also calling into question military service in a era when the U.S. has the second largest standing army in the world (behind China) and has troops stationed on all 6 inhabited continents?
I can support equal rights for gays in the military – but there's the bigger question: As a Christian should I be supporting military participation at all? And how do Christians critique the prevailing "Empire consciousness" and offer instead our "prophetic imagination" or "alternative consciousness," as theologian Walter Brueggemann calls it, on issues of war and peace?
If Christians are supporting the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, then are they also advocating strong teaching in their churches on the Christian pacifist tradition or the rigorous moral "just war" process that any Christian – gay or straight – must go through before participating in any given war?
When Jesus says "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God," what does he mean? Or when he says, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you"? Or "To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic"?
Early generations of Christians refused to participate in war (though those who did were counseled and sometimes asked not to seek communion for a period of time, but were not cut off from community). Soldiers who subsequently converted to Christianity often left military service, viewing it as incompatible with their new life.
Why? Largely because of idolatry. Military service forced them to put the gods of nationalism ahead of the God of Jesus Christ. Military service also fostered hatred for an enemy, an attitude viewed as antithetical to Christ's teachings. "Love of enemies is the principal precept of the Christian," said the Tunisian theologian Tertullian in the first century. Until the time of Constantine no Christian writing allowed for Christians to participate in war. Military valor was not a virtue. True victory was won through love.
In a democracy that enshrines civil rights and "justice for all," it is right and good for Americans to support the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and promote LGBT civil rights in the society at large.
Christians, however, have another set of values to examine. For traditionalists it may be whether you can be gay and Christian. For progressives, it's whether you can be Christian and 'Army Strong.'

Rand Paul and Other Sad Examples of Dehumanizing Empire
Sometimes everyday life is just a little too coarse, a little too violent. Rand Paul's ignorant undermining of the Civil Rights Act makes me feel terribly sad. The guys who whip through stop signs in their $40,000 Lexuses stun me with their arrogance, smallness, and stunted sense of generosity. The fact that the families of the 11 oil roustabouts killed in the BP rig explosion had no bodies to bury (see a moving NPR report here) makes me irrationally angry. I want BP and Transocean and Halliburton executives to have to look on the bodies of the men they killed.
And yet, I'm trying to hold all this in biblical context. These are all examples of the excesses of Empire. This is the absurdity or vanity or meaninglessness that Qoheleth addresses at the opening of Ecclesiastes. "Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!" (1:2).
One of the products of Empire in the bible is a constant dehumanizing pressure on the people that leads to a "culture of despair."
"Anguish reigns, the spirit is crushed, life is diminished and paralyzed. All of us, in some way, for different reasons, have felt this sensation of closed horizons. For this situation, even though it seems incredible, the book of Ecclesiastes has something to say," writes Mexican liberation theologian Elsa Tamez.
(For more on this, read Tamez's brilliant interpretation of Ecclesiastes called When the Horizons Close.)
The opposite of the "monoculture" demanded by Empire is the Pentecost movement that blows uncontrollably, creating a generative "togetherness" out of dizzying diversity. It's this violent Wind of God that blows down the idols of Empire and restores the unique "tongues of the people." The Spirit undoes the Empire's "cash English" (see Acts 2) and restores the parlance of poetry.
Into this context comes Benedictine Joan Chittister's reflection from her new book Uncommon Gratitude: Alleluia For All That Is .
Unity is more than solidarity and more than uniformity. Unity, ironically, is a commitment to becoming one people who speak in a thousand voices. Rather than one message repeated by a thousand voices, unity is one message shaped by a thousand minds.
In times of great social change, as now, in times when the very foundations of life are in threat of collapsing, as now — when the very nature of life and death, of spirit and matter, of mind and body, of technology and people — are in question, the temptation is to avoid the ambiguities of the future by requiring the institutionalization of the past. Then churches tell people what they can think and governments tell people what they can't do, the courts make law and the military makes weapons. Then everything is made to look united again, but nothing really is.
The kind of unity that is born out of differences and becomes the glue of a group has four characteristics: it frees, it enables, it supports, and it listens. A group that is genuinely unified is a group that has freed every member to be themselves. In fact, the truly united group knows that every idea, every voice, counts in the process of idea formation.
Without the collection of ideas, no consensus is possible. Then the group is reduced to the kind of compliance that wilts in the noonday sun.
Then we begin to hear: "Well, I never thought it was a good idea in the first place." Then we know that even at the height of its power, underneath it all the group lacked heart.
For the freedom to ask questions without reprisal in the face of contrary concepts, sing alleluia. To seek unity means that enabling people to speak without fear and without hesitation must become the cornerstone of discussion. Ideas must be sought out. Answers must be elicited. Hesitations must be defined. Cautions must be honored before unity in diversity is possible. But when it comes, sing alleluia because then all the talents of the population are wholeheartedly engaged in the enterprise.
For a people to know unity they must also know the support that comes when people who speak another truth are as respected for that perception as they would have been for agreeing with the majority in the first place. I can only give myself to a group that not only tolerates my differences but seeks them out. That way, when a decision is finally forged out of the fire of differences, there is no doubt that it carries within it all the passion the group has to give.
Finally, unity depends on listening, not only to begin it but also to sustain it. No decisions are made once and forever. No unity can be perpetual if it revolves around a changing center. No good thing can be guaranteed to stay good throughout time. It is so easy to make an idol out of a time, a place, a decision, a group that once was united but now, in the light of another, newer day, is not.
Then it is time to begin again. Then the unity must be tested and reshaped. It is a very holy process, the search for unity. It is an alleluia moment made for eternity but welded and rewelded by time.
I'm hungry for that renewal of Spirit that leads to authentic human freedom. I need to be in that "holy process." I'm clinging to the tail-end of the Alleluia and praying for a high wind.

About Me
I've been drawing for as long as I can remember and I grew up with a number of classic cartoons and animation films that incited my love for the genre, but somehow failed to make me want to work as a professional cartoonist. My collection, however, became so large that I finally decided to create my own homepage and display the pictures online. That was in 2002. The consequence was that my artworks didn't go to seed in storage, which makes every artwork happy, and were finally seen by people, who like animation art as much as I do. Deal. ;)
That's it. That's the whole shebang.

Embroider sheer fabric such as organza with delicate flowers for a beautiful scarf or wrap from Kandi Corp. Follow the machine embroidery technique or use the template method for hand embroidery.
The beauty of this scarf is the sculpted edging at the ends. Designs need to be chosen carefully as the portions of the designs must always touch each other. The designs should be stitched onto organza or a fabric that can be "melted" to get rid of the frays left after trimming the fabric. There are basically two ways to combine designs when perfect alignment is needed - using printed templates or using embroidery software. Adapt this project to our method as needed.
● OESD Card #790 Watercolor Florals by Jan Woodman. Available in the following formats: 200 CD-ROM, 165-185 artista card, Babylock/Brother/Deco and compatibles, Janome 10000 card, Viking Designer 1 Floppy
● 1 3/4 yard organza
● Isacord polyester embroidery thread
● Bobbin thread - use Isacord embroidery thread in a color to match scarf
● Water-soluble marking pen
● EZ Glitzer® (Optional)
● Assorted 4 millimeter hot fix pearls
● Organ embroidery needles
● 505 temporary spray adhesive
● OESD badge master stabilizer
● Embroidery machine
● Sewing machine
Template Method:
- With the template method, the center point of each design is marked separately. (Center point sheets are provided in the packaging.)
- When using a design more than once, you will find it helpful to photocopy the design as many times as needed. This scarf uses two different designs twice on each end of the scarf. Photocopy the design in the mirror image, or trace the design onto the back of the paper.
- Cut a horizontal and vertical line at the center of the template(s).
- Fold back opposite corners at the center of the template(s).
- Place each template on the fabric at the desired position. It is important to place the designs so that a portion of the design touches a portion of the previously placed design.
- Mark the center point of each design through the template.
- Remove the template and extend the horizontal and vertical lines of each template.
- Each design is then stitched separately. Depending on the size of the hoop used, you may be able to stitch all the designs in one hooping, but will need to move the needle position at the beginning of each individual design. Check the orientation of each design to ensure that it will be stitched correctly.
Embroidery Software Method:
- The use of Explorations embroidery software will allow you to combine designs on screen and stitch the combined designs out as one. There will only be one center point to worry about with this method.
- To use this method, bring the first design (#24) into Explorations software via a Magic Box or a machine connection.
- Vertical mirror image the design.
- Duplicate the design, and horizontal mirror the duplicate.

Sabotage was released in 2014, and heralded the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger to the big screen. He's since appeared in The Expendables 3, Maggie, and Terminator Genisys, where he reprised his role as the bad-ass metal monster from the future. Of all these, we think Sabotage sees him give his best performance.
Back when Superman first hit the big screen in 1978, Arnie was considered one of the frontrunners for the role, and he even lobbied hard for it. Ultimately though, the filmmakers decided to go with the then-unknown Christopher Reeves. Probably for the best, we can't imagine anyone being tricked by a 6ft muscle-bound Clark Kent, no matter how thick his glasses.
Three years after he played the cyborg Terminator, he was considered to play another one in this satirical action movie. The director eventually decided that an actor of lighter build would be needed to don the bulky suit and Peter Weller was cast instead.
Judge Dredd
Allegedly, Arnie was offered the lead role in the comic-book film Judge Dredd before it went to his muscle-mate Sly Stallone. He reportedly turned the part down because he didn't want to spend most of the film with his face hidden underneath the famous Dredd helmet.
Robert Neville (I Am Legend)
While Will Smith starred in I Am Legend in 2007, the film actually started development back in 1994 and, three years later director Ridley Scott was attached with Schwarzenegger set to star. The film went through various script rewrites, but was all on track to be made until the budget ballooned to £108 million and Warner Bros shelved the film.
Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen)
Watchmen is a film that remained in development hell for many years before Zack Snyder turned it into a super-stylish, flash-bang movie. During one of its many incarnations, Arnie was set to play Doctor Manhattan: the glowing, blue superhuman of the group. We think he would have been great in the role. But as the humble scientist beforehand? We wouldn't have believed it!
Flash Gordon
Arnie was up for the role, which eventually went to Sam J. Jones. Producer Dino De Laurentiis rejected Schwarzenegger, reportedly telling him: "You have an accent! I cannot use you for Flash Gordon! No! Flash Gordon has no accent! I cannot use you! No!" Hopefully Arnie got the message.
John McClane (Die Hard)
Well, almost John McClane. Die Hard was originally mooted as a sequel to Commando, which meant that he would have continued to play John Matrix rather than the reluctant cop that Bruce Willis ended up playing. Arnie turned the sequel down though, meaning the script was reworked as a new film.
Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man)
In the early 90s, powerhouse director James Cameron was developing his own Spider-Man movie. In his first script, he had Peter Parker facing off against Doctor Octopus, to be played by Arnie Schwarzenegger. Eventually, Cameron rewrote his script to feature different villains, and the studio hiring him went bankrupt, rendering the whole project moot anyway.
Harry Stamper (Armageddon)
Arnie was originally considered for the main role of Harry Stamper, which eventually went to his other muscle mate Bruce Willis. Presumably, one of the producers realised they'd need to front the cost of designing a bigger spacesuit.
Captain America
Not the recent Avengers-focused film starring Chris Evans, but rather the 1990 version, which eventually starred Matt Salinger. Considering the star-spangled character, it's hard to imagine why, not only Arnie, but also Dolph Lundgren were considered for the part. Understandably, Arnie's accent ended up ruling him out.

Most home business owners are looking for ways to improve their productivity.
Get more out of the limited time they have to spend on their business. Lydia Martin, shares some very clever tips on how to use Google calendar to be more efficient your business.
Secure & Deploy the Secret Weapon of Every 6-Figure Business Owner
Raw Transcript
Google Calendar Productivity Tips for Home Business Owners:
Colin: What is another productivity tool that you would recommend for network marketers and direct sellers?
Lydia Martin: I would totally be lost without Google calendar as well, for sure. It's so funny, I had Google calendar for a long time and just used it to enter events, but I did not use all of the other features. I didn't …
Colin: What are some of those features? Because I just use it for events right now …
Lydia Martin: Okay, well and like I … I use this for events but just here's one tip. Okay, so for our team, we have a call, a check-in call, daily and how many conference calls have you been on where you dial the number, you wait, they say, "What's the access code?" You have to go, "Okay, where'd I put the code? Where's the code? Hit the pound sign." This is the simplest little tip, and those of you that know it you can laugh at me if this is just a no brainer, but I put in the phone number and location.
When you add it as an event, go to location, put in the phone number, comma, comma, the access code, and pound.
That gets saved in there, right? Now on my calendar, when I click on it, I just … And open the event, it's a live link, I just tap it. It dials the phone number.
The comma, comma makes it wait until the person says, "What's you access code?" It dials the number for … I mean, how many times have we been on the road having to connect to a call. You can't be like, "Where's the number?" Type in the … All I do is hit a button and I'm going to that call with the access code.
It's that something you knew Colin? Is it just me that was excited when I learned that?
Colin: I'm trying to be cool right now but I'm so excited to get that tip. I did not know that.
Lydia Martin: It's all [inaudible 00:01:43].
Colin: Struggle of trying to drive and with one hand and trying to put the code in and then you're pressing the wrong button …
Lydia Martin: It's so dangerous! Yeah, so dangerous. That little tip … I have learned to put phone numbers, addresses, anything that Google will turn into a live link, in the location or in the notes.
Colin: Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Lydia Martin: I find the location section is actually the best spot to put it, because it just comes up. As soon as you tap, it's right there at the top and you just … Location is huge, because what I used to do when I would book a party is go to Contacts, and put in all my host information there.
Well, then when I got to go to a party, I got to search for them. I found it so much easier to just set their party in the date and put their actual address in the location and then that way as soon as I tap it, it takes me right to Google Maps, open … Or iMaps or whatever you're using.
Colin: Right.
Lydia Martin: I have nothing to type in when I'm going to a party. That was huge for me.
Colin: That's definitely huge because I didn't know that and I think it makes a big difference to me right now, especially with the comma, comma …
Lydia Martin:Yeah.
Colin: [inaudible 00:02:50]
Lydia Martin:That's huge. You're going to be very excited. I always store my phone numbers in that spot and then of course, if you have a weekly call, you just create an event that repeats.
Colin: Right.
Lydia Martin:The phone number is always there and another thing people don't ever think to do, because sometimes you're like, "Oh no, I scheduled that party, I don't even know when the date is." You know to pull down … I don't know how to do it on an Android phone of course, but to search. Some people don't … They think they have to go on their calendar and kind of scroll and search, enter that name or that location, or whatever. Boom. It's going to pop up.
Colin: Yeah.
Lydia Martin:A lot of people don't think to use the search bar.

State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson Announces 2017 Finalists for Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching
Posted: Wednesday, September 20th, 2017
SACRAMENTO—State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson today nominated eight exceptional secondary mathematics and science teachers as California finalists for the 2017 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST).
"These teachers are dedicated and accomplished individuals whose innovative teaching styles prepare our students for 21st century careers and college and develop them into the designers and inventors of the future," Torlakson said. "They rank among the finest in their profession and also serve as wonderful mentors and role models."
The California Department of Education (CDE) partners annually with the California Science Teachers Association and the California Mathematics Council to recruit and select nominees for the PAEMST program—the highest recognition in the nation for a mathematics or science teacher. The Science Finalists will be recognized at the CSTA Awards Luncheon on Saturday, October 14, 2017. Learn More…
Thriving in a Time of Change
Posted: Wednesday, September 13th, 2017
by Jill Grace
By the time this message is posted online, most schools across California will have been in session for at least a month (if not longer, and hat tip to that bunch!). Long enough to get a good sense of who the kids in your classroom are and to get into that groove and momentum of the daily flow of teaching. It's also very likely that for many of you who weren't a part of a large grant initiative or in a district that set wheels in motion sooner, this is the first year you will really try to shift instruction to align to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). I'm not going to lie to you, it's a challenging year – change is hard. Change is even harder when there's not a playbook to go by. But as someone who has had the very great privilege of walking alongside teachers going through that change for the past two years and being able to glimpse at what this looks like for different demographics across that state, there are three things I hope you will hold on to. These are things I have come to learn will overshadow the challenge: a growth mindset will get you far, one is a very powerful number, and it's about the kids. Learn More…
If You Are Not Teaching Science Then You Are Not Teaching Common Core
Posted: Thursday, August 31st, 2017
by Peter A'Hearn
"Science and Social Studies can be taught for the last half hour of the day on Fridays"
– Elementary school principal
Anyone concerned with the teaching of science in elementary school is keenly aware of the problem of time. Kids need to learn to read, and learning to read takes time, nobody disputes that. So Common Core ELA can seem like the enemy of science. This was a big concern to me as I started looking at the curriculum that my district had adopted for Common Core ELA. I've been through those years where teachers are learning a new curriculum, and know first-hand how a new curriculum can become the focus of attention- sucking all the air out of the room.

Tools for Creating NGSS Standards Based Lessons
Posted: Tuesday, August 29th, 2017
by Elizabeth Cooke
Think back on your own experiences with learning science in school. Were you required to memorize disjointed facts without understanding the concepts?
Science Education Background
In the past, science education focused on rote memorization and learning disjointed ideas. Elementary and secondary students in today's science classes are fortunate now that science instruction has shifted from students demonstrating what they know to students demonstrating how they are able to apply their knowledge. Science education that reflects the Next Generation Science Standards challenges students to conduct investigations. As students explore phenomena and discrepant events they engage in academic discourse guided by focus questions from their teachers or student generated questions of that arise from analyzing data and creating and revising models that explain natural phenomena.

George Benjamin Sherman Jr. "Ben," 91, of Lewes, passed away peacefully Sunday, March 30, 2014, at the Delaware Hospice Center in Milford. Mr. Sherman was born March 11, 1923, in Palmer, Mass., son of the late George B. and Hester Landen Sherman of Brimfield, Mass.
Ben graduated from Washington and Lee High School in Arlington, Va. An avid sports enthusiast, he was offered a football scholarship at Clemson University. However, the outbreak of World War II quickly changed his college plans. He joined the U.S. Coast Guard, serving on the US Calcatera, DE-390 Edsall Class Destroyer Escort in the Mediterranean from 1943-45.
Following the war, he attended Springfield College in Massachusetts where he graduated summa cum laude in 1952 with a bachelor of science degree in physical education. After a period of being a swimming instructor he took a position as a machine foreman with Titeflex in Springfield and other jobs involving machinery before retiring at age 65. He moved to Florida and enjoyed golfing until his hip began to fail and relocated back to Delaware to be near his daughter.
He was a 32 degree Mason with the Joel Prouty Lodge in Auburn, Mass. and later with Jefferson Lodge 16 in Lewes, and was also in the Order of the Eastern Star, Unity Chapter 15, Lewes. He was a lifelong member of the First Congregational Church of Brimfield. After moving to Delaware he was also very active as a volunteer with the RSVP program.
In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his brother Milton Sherman in 1995.
He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Virginia Haas Sherman; daughters Linda S. Moore of Wilmington and her children Brett Henry and wife Wendy, and Joelle Patterson and husband Ken; Judith V. Heritage and husband Charlie of Dover, and Alison Parsell and husband Keith of Lewes; a sister Grace Arbor of Belchertown, MA; and two brothers, John Sherman and Charles (Bud) Sherman, both of Brimfield; grandchildren, Todd Heritage, Amy Heritage, Steve Jones, Amanda Boyer, Christina Lopez, Johnathan Parsell, Andrew Parsell; and great-grandchildren Kelsey, Shelby, Ashlyn, Trace, Tyler, Caden, Connor, Mason and Kaleigh.
A Celebration of Ben's Life will be held at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, Friday, April 4, beginning at 7:30 p.m., with Masonic services followed by Christian services. Friends may call beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the funeral home.
Graveside services with military honors will be at 11 a.m., Saturday April 5, at Gracelawn Memorial Park, New Castle.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the First Congregational Church, PO Box 203, Brimfield, MA 01010-0203, or to Delaware Hospice, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963.

5 Reasons Why Your Small Business Really Does Need a Website
Do you own a small business? Does your small business have a website?
If you don't, you are among the 46 to 50% of small business owners that do not have a website, according to several studies and surveys conducted on the matter over the last couple years, including this one conducted by Redshift Research.
When surveyed, respondents were asked for the reasons why they didn't have a website for their small business. Here are the top responses as to why these business owners did not have a website:
- We just don't need one.
- It wouldn't help anyway.
- It would be too hard to set up a website.
- It would be too expensive or time-consuming to have a website.
You may think that half of your peers also not having a website is a good justification to keep on the same course, but that kind of thinking can get your business into serious trouble. After all the average business goes out of business within 4 years. So clearly, you do not want your business to be just average, do you? It is after all the top 10% of businesses in an industry that typically get 90% of the business. Plus, other studies focused on the consumer views of businesses that have no website or poorly executed web presences, such as the one for the graph below, show the importance of having a professional website for your business.
Share this article:
So, you think your customers don't use the internet that much, or don't shop your competition online? Be careful with that assumption. According to Pew Research, 87% of Americans are online. And, more go online every year, and more and more, the first place a consumer goes to find a company to provide them a product or service is online to Google, or to Facebook to ask their friends for recommendations.
So, now that we understand that consumers are online, and they expect a business to have a website, and that it definitely influences their choice as to who gets their business, lets look at 5 reasons your business must have a professional website in 2017:
Reason 1: Because literally everyone in America is online today.
Not only is 87% America online today, according to the above Pew Research Study. Online where they look first, when they are searching for a company to provide them the services and products they need. There has been a total paradigm shift in the way that people look for goods and services over the last 15 years. No longer do they flip out ye ole huge yellow pages book and "let their fingers do the the walking." Sites like Google and Bing have taken that place for all but about 13% of Americans. Take a look at the once infamous Yellow Pages, if you even have one around, its but a shadow of its former glory. Much smaller and thinner, and as most businesses have found out, not the source of phone calls and business it once was for small business owners. The reality is Google, having 2/3 of the internet search users, has become the new digital version of the yellow pages, and just like being at the top of the yellow pages list for an industry or having a good ad placement in the yellow pages used to be the ticket to victory, the same holds true today, but its now Google where this is so important. But, it takes a little different strategy today than just naming your business 'AAA Cleaners' to get there.
Reason 2: You need a website because your customers expect you to have one.
First and foremost, as the graph above shows, a significant percentage of consumers expect a stable, professional business to have a website in this age, and not having one is a sure to cause trust issues with your potential customers as to your company's professionalism, stability, and your ability to deliver on your promises to them. Not having a website, especially when your top competitors do, can make you company look like a fly-by-night organization that can't be trusted, and even if you top competitors don't yet have a website, its sure to help you stand out above and beyond them. That's what most of your fellow business find true, once they have a newly built website. According to the GoDaddy and Redshift Research survey,
"83% of small business owners who already own a website feel they have a competitive advantage over those without."
"Of those respondents who already have a website, 59% say their business grew once they had built their website."
Reason 3: A Website amplifies Your business' word of mouth marketing.
Traditionally, many small businesses have used and tout word-of-mouth marketing as the best advertising you can have, and that is certainly still true today. In fact, its more true than ever. With the new Social Age of the internet, and what some people call Web 2.0, word-of-mouth is now on steroids. The big difference is now its largely online in the manner of online customer reviews, and everyone is looking for them, or asking their friends for recommendations on social websites, like Facebook, before they decide where to spend their hard-earned money. So typically, people looking for goods or services take one of two methods today: They either search on Google for a few potential candidates, then likely go on to read online reviews and ask for friend recommendations on Facebook. Or, they skip Google, and go straight to social media sites like Facebook, ask their friends who then post websites and Facebook business pages of the companies they recommend. Word-of-mouth is still king, and to miss out on all the potential business it generates can be business suicide.
Reason 4: Getting a website is not that expensive for most small businesses.
When you look at traditional forms of advertising, like Yellow Page listings, industry magazine ads, radio ads, and especially TV ads, the cost to benefit ROI is without a question the highest for websites and online marketing. The traditional advertising mediums cost between $2000 to $10,000 per month for a small business, or up to $120,000 a year for even the most modest campaigns. What even worse, for many small business owners the ROI is very poor on traditional advertising, and very hard to track the performance of. The scariest part is you may not know if you are even breaking even, let a lone profiting, for such hefty expenditures. When you compare that to the much lower average costs of online marketing, the trackable performance, and the much higher ROI, for a small business website, its a no-brainer. In fact, a properly designed website and online marketing will is an investment that has a positive return that you can see in real time, and since you can track the performance, you know exactly how profitable your efforts are, and can make changes at any point to improve the performance. Compared to traditional ads that you typically have a 6 month to 1 year contract on, and can't make any changes once its live, leaving you with up to a year of pain and expense, if the ad isn't performing.
Reason 5: Getting a website for your business is not hard.
Today getting a website for your small business couldn't be easier. There are even free website builders like Wix.com, that help non-techies to build websites without having to know how to write the programming code, but I caution any business owner to choose this option carefully. Consider how much your time is worth. Spending countless hours trying to make a website that is user-friendly, gets found on Google, instills trust in the consumer if they do find you, and ultimately gets them to take the actions you are looking for( calling you? ), may not be the best use of your precious time trying to learn, and you may not be happy with the results you get, or the image it portrays for your company. Website design and online marketing are both an art and an a science that takes many years to master, and really is best left to a professional, if your business relies on its performance. Then you are free to focus on the high value skills that you specialize in and that actually make you money.
Hiring a professional is cost effective, and they will have professional tools and a tried and tested methodology that consistently generates results for their clients. Its really no different than why a person calls any service company, including possibly your company. They will do the job better and faster with longer lasting results. Quite simply, hiring a professional will save you time and stress, and ultimately make you more money.
It's simple, really: People today get information from websites, and make most of their purchase decisions based on them and the reviews and recommendations they find online. To not have a website means you're missing out on telling the majority of people in your area about your business. That's a lot of money being left on the table. For all the time, expertise, and money you have invested in your business, why fall short on one of the most important parts of the equation, your marketing? You may think you cannot afford marketing, but the reality is you cannot afford not to market. Sales drive your business, and marketing drives sales. Marketing is not an optional expense if you value you the livelihood of your business, especially in the beginning years, when you must be so frugal with your expenditures, and focus on spending that actually drives sales. There are fewer things worth the investment than getting your phone to ring, or getting people to and shopping on your website. Remember I said earlier that the average company in America goes out of business in 4 years. Do you want your business to be average?

For years you've said you'd love to join a gym -- if only it weren't for the costly $75-and-up monthly membership fees. Well, don't settle back into your sofa just yet. By sacrificing a few amenities -- say, juice bars, free towels or swimming pools that most members rarely use -- you can find a health club that'll offer you all the basics you need, like locker room facilities, classes and ample cardio and weight-training machines. To get you started, here are a few local chains where your monthly membership fee can weigh in at $35 or less.
Fitness First (www.fitnessfirst.cc)
14 locations in Maryland, Virginia and D.C.
How much? There's a $99 sign-up fee (gymgoers who want to access only one club pay $50), and it's about $33 per month for access to all locations.
Workout Rundown: Fitness First is a well-run, calorie-burning bargain. There's plenty of cardio equipment, weights and numerous complimentary classes, including spinning, yoga, Pilates and aerobics.
Frills You Do Get: Up to four free personal-training sessions in first month (plus monthly updates), free childcare and saunas. The D.C. and Tysons branches also offer towel service.
Lady of America and Ladies Workout Express (www.ladyofamerica.com)
17 locations in Maryland and Virginia
How much? Most memberships require a $99 sign-up -- if you join with friends, your group can split up the one-time charge -- and a $30-a-month fee, though rates differ by location. A three-day-a-week-or-less membership is $24 a month.
Workout Rundown: These are female-only facilities. The Workout Express locations -- open to anyone with membership in Lady of America (the chain's full-service gyms) -- offer interval circuit training, a combination of cardio and weight training that can be completed in 30 minutes.
Frills You Do Get: Free monthly one-on-one personal training, free babysitting, infrared-light therapy saunas in some locker rooms and access to the hundreds of U.S. locations. But no men.
Olympus Gyms
14 locations in Maryland and Northern Virginia
How much? There is no sign-up fee and rates vary. For example, the Falls Church location is about $40 per month, but $30 monthly memberships are available to seniors, full-time students and those willing to sign two- or three-year contracts. The Silver Spring location offers $30 monthly memberships -- no contract required.

Last night, about 10:30, Chuck and I took the dog for his walk. I didn't bring my camera or cell 'phone. We got to the corner and Chuck said, "look!" The shelf was gone. On the pole was another note on a large sheet of white paper in a plastic sleeve. Having no camera, I knew I'd have to come back early in the morning to get a photo. I hung my little offering on a nail, a small collage labeled Real Small Art.
Chuck looked around and saw the shelf down on the ground by the front yard of the house on the corner. Leaning against it was this note, which references the note I'd written on the previous notice when the shelf was first "taken" down the other day. I put the note in my pocket. Chuck leaned the shelf against the base of the pole. How interesting, eh? This morning, camera around my neck, my dog and I headed out on our walk. The shelf was still at the base of the pole, my Real Small Art collage was still hanging up, but the big white piece of paper was gone. I wish I'd taken it home last night so I could tell you exactly what it said, but here's the gist. The shelf had been appreciated, the writer thought that whoever took the shelf down was mean-spirited and should be ashamed of them self. I'd prepared a little piece to put on the pole, giving my blog address in case anyone wants to see the documentation of this shelf, which began 29 March 2007. I'll keep posting small notices on the shelf with this blog information for awhile. And I'll put little art pieces on the pole, as the inspiration comes. As for the shelf itself, I brought it home and put it on my garden fence. Wasn't this a good run for something so random? Over a year. And here's my thinking, maybe it wasn't an act of destruction, but rather, a small child trying to see what was on the shelf, accidentally pulled it down. I'd like to think that, so I will. Thanks to the anonymous shelf builder, thanks to the anonymous (and not so anonymous) shelf elves. I've really enjoyed documenting this wonderful, magical, neighborhood community art project.

Just think of the possibilities that it opened up in peoples lives. It served it purpose and now it resides in the home of the one who nurtured it.
I enjoyed reading the adventures of the shelf and would like to thank you as a long distance elf.

Thank you for the elf shelf stories... the ripples of inspiration continue to influence random acts of artistic kindness.

I loved reading the story about this little shelf. It was very thought provoking and insightful. Despite the shelf being vandalized, it was beautiful to see the positive responses that were drawn out.

As national drink drive figures are released, local figures still show a low percentage of those providing a positive breath test.
In West Mercia 121 people either refused to give a test or tested positive after being breath tested over June 2017 with an additional 43 people failing within Warwickshire. This equates to around 8% of the total number breathalysed across June. An additional 107 people in West Mercia and 13 people in Warwickshire also failed the new roadside drugs test as part of the campaign. Read more
