Debate continues over the effectiveness of saltwater intrusion barrages on the lower reaches of the Mary River, in the Top End.
It's been 25 years since the first barrage was installed, 200 kilometres east of Darwin, in an attempt to stop the large tidal surges swamping the fresh water system with salt.
In collaboration with the various Northern Territory governments, the landholders in the region have worked to build structures to literally hold back the tide.
However due to a number reasons, including the height of the barrages, many have failed with water from the Mary River surging around the walls, causing erosion.
Melaleuca Station manager, Tony Searle, has been involved in all the projects on the property over the last 20 years.
"There have been several designs built and some of them have worked very successfully and some haven't.
"The barrages can be no higher than a little bit above the high-tide mark and the design is not to hold back freshwater," he said.
"There has been a perception over the years that the pastoralists in the district have been building barrages for ponded pasture and a variety of reasons that go with pastoral enterprise.
"Basically, this isn't the case."
Mr Searle says the first settlers destroyed much of the natural formation of the floodplain, which has led to the deteriorating situation.
"Buffalo hunters and crocodile shooters travelling the river by boat blew up rock bars which allowed the saltwater to come in," he said.
While millions of dollars has been spent building a large number of barrages throughout the Mary River floodplain, some argue it's been wasted effort.
The Amateur Fisherman's Association of the NT has long been concerned with the trial and error approach to the structures because of the damage caused when they fail.
CEO, Craig Ingram, says he understands action needs to be taken, but there are a number of reasons to be wary of a barrage.
"Some of the barrages have caused a lot of damage to the interconnectivity between the river and the floodplain.
In the past it's been more about protecting pastoral country rather than looking at the big picture.Craig Ingram
"They've also, arguably, been the cause of a fairly large number of fish kills in those areas," he said.
"Some of the structures haven't been designed in a manner which allows fish passage, but also, they haven't been structurally sound and have let go."
Mr Ingram acknowledges recreational fishers are concerned about access issues too and says he would like more resources put into investigating solutions.
"It just needs to be done in a manner which protects the quality of the fishery out there, allows that fish passage, doesn't have those fish kills and gives thought to the interests of the fish and fishermen.
"In the past it's been more about protecting pastoral country rather than looking at the big picture," he said.
Despite the protests by some, it appears the work on the barrages will continue.
Tony Searle, from Melaleuca Station, says he's received strong interest from the new Country Liberal Government to continue the project.
"It looks quite positive for the next couple of years on reclaiming some lost ground.
"With support from government and engineers, which are now listening to people on the ground, the designs seem to be much simpler and much more effective," he said.

Annual IMPACT Report
July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016
A Year Like No Other – St. John's has experienced growth like never before in our school's history.
During the 2015-2016 academic year, we admitted 400 new students to fill out the ranks in grades 6 through 12, hired 70 new faculty and staff, welcomed nearly 6,000 people to more than 63 events worldwide, opened the new Brother Keefe, C.F.X. Academic Center, renewed Benjamin Hall for our Middle School, and broke ground in March on a Wellness Center that has been our dream for decades.
All that we have accomplished together positions us to further enrich what it means to be a graduate of St. John's Prep. Looking out over the next few years, and with your leadership and involvement, we will continue to advance our mission as an inclusive Catholic, Xaverian school by ensuring that we can make a Prep education affordable for all of our families.
As you read in the pages of this Annual Impact Report, extraordinary philanthropic support from all quarters of the Prep community has driven our growth in this most recent fiscal year, July 2015 to June 2016. We are grateful to all those who embraced our call to action, and we humbly ask you to continue supporting St. John's. With your help, we will inspire meaningful investment in the life of our school and the education of our students.
Thank you for all that you do on behalf of St. John's.
Peace and prayers,
David W. Ives '75
Chairman, Board of Trustees

Music has always been such a huge part of my life. Sure the beat and a catchy chorus are big parts of it, but mostly I love songs that make you feel the emotions and can transport you back to a time and place in your memory. In fact, one of my earliest memories is music-related. I was 3 and sitting in the front seat of the car with my Popa singing one of his favorite songs from the 1960s. We'd sing it together and when it ended, rewind the cassette tape, and play it again.
Over the weekend I was thinking about my favorite songs and overall albums, as I scrolled through my iTunes library filled with THOUSANDS of songs. It was quite a difficult task, but I somehow managed to narrow my list down and pulled together my 10 favorite albums of all time, in order of oldest to most recent release date (quite a few are "hits" albums though so some of the songs did come out earlier).
Eagles Their Greatest Hits (1976)
This is actually the best-selling album of the 20th century in the U.S.! It's kind of crazy to me that this compilation of the top hits from 4 albums in a 4-year period was deemed "greatest hits" in such a short time, but with the songs being so great, it makes sense!
Fleetwood Mac Rumours (1977)
I feel like this album makes every "top albums" list. I don't know what it is, but it's FIRE. So many of the songs on this album are personal to the band members, and primarily about troubled relationships (many of which involved other band members/people close to the band). Also, a lot of the songs are incredibly catchy.
Bryan Adams So Far So Good (1993)
Between love ballads and fun pop-rock songs, this album covers all the bases. It's no surprise that this one hit platinum in several countries – a few times over even! I can't help but turn the volume way up when this one's playing.
Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill (1995)
As a 90s girl, there's no way I could leave Alanis out of the mix. While I loved singing along to so many of her songs growing up, I didn't fully understand a lot of them until I was older (in case you didn't know, "You Oughta Know" is about Uncle Joey from Full House)! Needless to say, I appreciate it 1000 times more now.
Phil Collins Hits (1998)
I've been jamming to Phil songs for as long as I can remember. This album is a compilation of most of his hits from the 80s, and I love everything about it! Fun fact: A few guest appearances on the album include Eric Clapton, Sting, and Peter Gabriel in guitar and/or backup vocals.
Whitney Houston The Greatest Hits (2000)
This 2-disc album (primarily disc 1) is the best. I mean, how can you top Whitney?! I'll never get sick of belting these soulful tunes out with her.
Lionel Richie The Definitive Collection (2003)
This is probably my most played album ever. It's no secret I'm a huge Lionel fan and this album is filled with so many of his top hits. I'll also add that this one came out when I was 13 and for a while there it was literally the only thing I listened to on repeat.
Sara Bareilles Little Voice (2007)
I first discovered Sara Bareilles with this album, when "Love Song" was the iTunes Single of the Week (back in the day). I was instantly hooked and fell in love with her 12 other songs and have been anxiously awaiting each album of hers ever since.
Adele 21 (2011)
Oh, Adele. Need I say more? 21 was her second album and to me, it's the most powerful one she's done. What can I say? I'm a sucker for the emotional songs. I'm so bummed I wasn't able to get tickets to any of her concerts on this tour, despite trying several dates/cities. I would LOVE to see her live.
Taylor Swift Red (2012)
I couldn't finish this list without throwing in a Taylor Swift album! So many people hate on her, but really, her songwriting skills are AMAZING. On Red there's so much raw emotion and I love it. Plus, my favorite song of hers happens to be on this album too.
Now that you're probably in music-mode, here's your chance to win a $100 gift card to iTunes to add some more tunes to your library! Who knows, maybe it'll be an album from this list!
What are some of your favorite albums?

So GoodApril/May 2008 Issue
Recipes For a Healthy Altenative to Sugar
This fragrant product ranges in taste from mild to penetratingly assertive. It can be light in color or deep amber, depending on the nectar the bees favor. Honey is easily digested, has antimicrobial properties, contains traces of important nutrients and antioxidants and is a carbohydrate source that's easy on blood sugar levels.
As an all-natural food, honey imparts a bold, textured sweetness to baked goods. With its concentrated flavor, a small amount packs a big punch. You'll use less of it than sugar to get the same sweetness.
Raw local varieties, made by bees pollinating the plants that live in your area, are said to have allergy benefits. But even with all these attributes, it is still honey's rich, golden taste that takes the cake. Choose your favorite honey for use in any of these gluten-free, dairy-free recipes.
Coconut Fruit Cookies
Get a mouthful of fruit in every bite. You'll want seconds. These cookies freeze well.
2 cups Gifts of Nature gluten-free flour blend
2 1/4 cups nut flour* or 1 cup gluten-free flour plus 1 cup gluten-free oats

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped dried fruit of choice
1. Preheat over to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
2. In large bowl, mix all ingredients together until blended. Do not over-mix.
3. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes or until edges are golden.
*TIP For nut flour, try a blend of pecan, almond or walnut. Make your own nut flours in a mini food processor or coffee grinder. Keep nuts in the freezer and grind as needed.
TIP To turn these into chocolate chip cookies, use 1 cup Enjoy Life Foods chocolate chips in place of the dried fruit. Enjoy Life chocolate chips are free of wheat, dairy and soy. Visit
www.enjoylifefoods.com for details.
Jollie's Raisin Oat Cookies
Coconut, oats and raisins guarantee hearty flavor and lots of fiber. Kids love this nutritious treat and it's better than a snack bar for on-the-go families.
1 cup brown or white rice flour
¼ cup tapioca flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter or margarine, melted
¾ cup honey
1 egg

3. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet.
4. Cook for 11 to 14 minutes or until cookies are golden on bottom and edges.
*TIP Gluten-free oats are available at Gifts of Nature (www.giftsofnature.net) and Bob's Red Mill (www.bobsredmill.com).
Favorite Brownies
A gluten-free brownie that's sugar free. This cake-like, moist dessert doesn't need frosting.
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla, optional

You know the saying, "Adopt, don't shop." That is exactly what we did, when we adopted from Cozy Cat Cottage.
Have you seen my new kitten? It's ok if you haven't, I have lots of pictures to show you! Cabi (short for Cabernet Bella Stripes) aka Cabi the Tabby is the newest member of our family and she is such a doll. We all love her so much, and I am so glad that we were able to adopt her. There is something very comforting about knowing that you've adopted an animal that might not otherwise have the opportunity to live with a loving family.
This pet adoption was done right at our local PetSmart! PetSmart Charities is on a mission to save the lives of pets and to help the people that love them. Their mission is simply to end pet homelessness, and part of the way that they do that is buy hosting pets that need adoption in their stores. We go to PetSmart often to stock up on supplies, and the cats in the adoption center are always so sweet, and just tug at my heartstrings! I knew that I wanted our next pet to be an adoption from there. It just felt right.
Adopting a pet from PetSmart comes with a variety of awesome perks that we took advantage of. They gave us a coupon book with discounts on food, bedding, toys, and everything else we needed to get our girl started off right. They even included a free checkup at Banfield Vet, which is the veterinarian located in some PetSmart stores. They really made it easy to make the decision to adopt.
When you adopt a pet at PetSmart, the company donates money to the organization hosting the adoption, which makes this an even sweeter deal! Everyone wins. You get an awesome new pet, and the adoption group makes money that they can use towards helping more animals.
Our Cabi came from a local adoption center called Cozy Cat Cottage Adoption Center. Cozy Cat Cottage is located in Powell Ohio. They are a non profit organization committed to the care and rescue of cats and kittens of all ages. They foster and care for these cats until permanent, loving homes are found for them. Many of the cats that Cozy Cat Cottage takes in are injured, abused, or neglected, and they make sure that everything is done to bring each cat back to optimal health.
Cabi came from Cozy Cat Cottage and was in the adoption center at PetSmart! We are so glad we found her!
On top of these goals, Cozy Cat Cottage is also committed to education and promotion of responsible cat ownership, and provides spay/neuter services for cats at it's site. While their clinic is often at capacity with kittens they've taken in, they occasionally open up the clinic to the public as well. They even participate in the Book Buddies program, which is I think is very cool. Young kids can practice their reading skills by reading aloud to animals in shelters. What a great way to make reading fun, and show love to the animals at the same time!
The people at Cozy Cat Cottage have such big hearts, and I plan to stay in touch with them and help out as I can. You can help them out too if you like. Visit their website to learn more or donate.


text: Hi, got my samsung i7500 earlier today and already am so lost with it. I updated NPS and through it my samsung once. Though NPS seems like a waste of time. Besides that I haven't done anything at all to my phone, except turning on the debugg thing and turning off the massmedia storage or such. (I read and tried to figure out stuff about the i7500, can't say anything has made anything clearer to me, except NPS = useless). I also installed SDK and updated the things into it but am now sitting at main page with "virtual drives, installed packages.." ect but don't really know what to do with it now. Anyway, what I really want to do is move some videos/music on to the phone. I do get into the phone's memory with the DCIM, camera ect folders but whatever I move in there doesn't show up in the phone. (I read from somewhere that the phone automatically knows where to find music/video files ect, true or?) Also I'd like to get some wallpapers/apps/games of my own in it. oh and should I update to some unofficial 2.x.x os or something? will it make things different/easier or such? worth to register that google account? (does it cost money or can I just oret about it?) (I'd even be happy with just the music/video thing, apps ect would be nice but whatever) I'm just so exhausted and tired, spent whole day finding out things about the phone but all I've seen is similar problems with no answers. Help, this seems like a nice phone, just these small bumps kinda bother in trying to get into it.

European Competition Policy Modernization : From Notifications to Legal Exception
Council Regulation (EC) 1/2003 came into force on the 1st of May 2004 replacing themandatory notification of agreements between firms by a regime of ex post monitoring.This paper provides a theoretical justification for this shift based on the competitionauthority's accuracy of judgement. We show that ex post monitoring dominates whenthe competition authority's probability of error if low enough. We also investigate thetwo other existing legal systems, i.e. block exemptions and black list, and show that theyshould be preferred when the competition authority's beliefs about the welfare impact ofthe agreements are very optimistic or very pessimistic.

One issue that we encounter as teachers is finding material that actually suits our reading audience. Even more challenging is finding different levels of accessible text for differentiation within the classroom. What if the reading levels of your students vary quite a bit within 1 class?
One option is to try to figure out what the reading level actually is. This is pretty complicated -- the most accurate results are probably found by checking with reading specialists & librarians. However, what if you are using web-based content? There are a couple of free web-based services that will help you determine the reading level.
EditCentral has a box to paste in text and it will run the selection through an algorithm to determine the readability scale. This site uses the Flesch-Kincaid scale and the Gunning fog index, as well as some others. Some nice features are that it color codes the results of the different reading scales and it also underlines words that might be considered complex or difficult.
If you just need to quickly check the readability scale of
a particular website, you can paste the URL into this website's readability test, and it will run the page through its algorithm to figure out the reading level. This free service also tabulates how many words & sentences are in the page, as well as counting how many words have 1, 2, 3, or 4 syllables. There are explanations for what the different reading indexes reveal.
What's interesting about this site is that it is designed for web page designers. This is supposed to help webmasters see if the content of their site or page is too difficult for the "average" reader.
Finally, if your district has a subscription to Nettrekker (like we are fortunate enough to have in CCSD), you can do a search for a subject in nettrekker, and it will give you a readability scale for the different sites that match your search. Honestly, I don't find the readability numbers in nettrekker very intuitive (it's on a 1 - 5 scale), but it is based on a combination of many different readability indexes. Here's a quick overview: a "5" means grades 11-13, a "4" equates to grades 9-10, and a "3" should indicate appropriate reading for grades 7 - 8.
Any literacy or reading specialist will tell you to use these types of tests with caution. Obviously, a mathematical formula can't account for much more than syllables, word count, and number of sentences. However, if you just need a filter to make sure that a resource you've found isn't over the heads of your students, these services can be pretty helpful.

Committee on the Rights of the Child: Turkmenistan
Session 068 (2015)
(4 February 2015, CRC/C/TKM/CO/2-4 Advance Unedited Version, Concluding observations on second-fourth report, paras. 34 and 35)
"While taking note of the existence of a legal ban on corporal punishment of children, the Committee is concerned that the concept of corporal punishment is not fully understood and that corporal punishment as a form of disciplining children is still practised in the home setting.
"With reference to the Committee's General comment No. 8 (2006) on corporal punishment the Committee recommends that the State party:
a) take all necessary actions to implement the ban on corporal punishment on children in all settings;
b) emphasize through child rights education programmes and awareness-raising activities that corporal punishment is illegal and contrary to children's rights and inform children about complaints mechanisms; and
c) carry out public educational campaigns, directed towards parents, about the negative consequences of ill‑treatment of children and promote positive, non-violent forms of discipline."Read more from Session 068 (2015)
Session 042 (2006)
(2 June 2006, CRC/C/TKM/CO/1, Concluding observations on initial report, paras. 46 and 47)
"The Committee, while noting that article 24(3) of the Rights of the Child (Guarantees) Act seems to prohibit corporal punishment, expresses concern that it is nevertheless a common practice to discipline children.
"The Committee recommends that the State party, taking into account its general comment No. 8 (2006) on the Right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment, introduce and enforce legislation and procedures explicitly prohibiting all forms of corporal punishment of children in all settings. The State party should also conduct public and professional awareness-raising and education campaigns against corporal punishment and promote non-violent, positive and participatory forms of childrearing and education, including in the home, schools, institutions and in the society."Read more from Session 042 (2006)

SILVER LAKE, TEXAS. Silver Lake, on U.S. Highway 80, Farm Road 1255, and the Missouri Pacific Railroad, near the Smith county line eight miles northeast of Canton in northeastern Van Zandt County, was settled as early as 1845, when John Jordan surveyed and secured title to thirty square miles covering the salt flats along the Sabine River. The townsite was established in 1873 as a stop on the Texas and Pacific Railway, which built a depot at the site. G. W. Rive established a store that year. The town was named for a small nearby lake, which in turn was named either for its silvery appearance or for the story that Indians or Mexican armies hid silver in it between 1832 and 1836 to prevent its capture by the Texas army. Grenville M. Dodgeqv, chief engineer of the Texas and Pacific, purchased land for the community on May 7, 1874, and surveyed and filed a plat on March 5, 1875. A post office operated in Silver Lake from 1874 into the 1930s. A Grange was founded by 1876, and the Farmers' Alliance established a local group. A local school was opened by 1890 and had an enrollment of forty-three in 1904. It was annexed to the Grand Saline Independent School District in 1952. The population of Silver Lake climbed to eighty by 1914, and a general store and several local businesses developed, but by 1936 only a few dwellings were at the townsite. The development of nearby coal mines attracted workers in the 1930s. The population was fifty in 1940. From 1974 through 2000 it was estimated at forty-two. In 1988 the community had a post office, a cemetery, several businesses, and scattered dwellings.

Northern Ireland v Greece: D-Day is here, look out France... We're on our way
The reporter from French television channel Canal+ told Michael O'Neill that France was waiting for him and his team.
The Northern Ireland manager didn't bat an eyelid. Qualification has not been secured yet, but at yesterday's press conference O'Neill wasn't about to tell our friend 'attendez une minute' (hold on a minute).
Instead he replied by saying how much he would revel in taking Northern Ireland to what he feels will be 'a brilliant tournament'.
Make no mistake about it, while nerves may be tingling amongst supporters, O'Neill truly believes that come next June, the Eiffel Tower and other popular French tourist attractions will be over run by fans from our wee country.
In this campaign O'Neill has grown as a manager. So too his confidence in his team. Rightly so. They have passed virtually every test put in front of them. The 46-year-old has taught them exceptionally well.
The final examination awaits. Greece at Windsor Park tonight. Win and the trip to Finland for Sunday's last Group F game becomes one long party to celebrate the graduation of this Northern Ireland side from no-hopers to national hero status.
O'Neill admits he is prepared for qualification to go down to the 90th minute of that last match in Helsinki, but is intent on making sure it doesn't have to.
The message is to get the job done tonight, even though key figures Kyle Lafferty, Chris Baird and Conor McLaughlin are suspended and Jonny Evans, who has not yet been ruled out of the Finland game, is injured.
O'Neill is expected to have Michael McGovern in goal, with a defence of Aaron Hughes, Gareth McAuley, Craig Cathcart and Chris Brunt; Steven Davis, Oliver Norwood and Paddy McNair in midfield with Stuart Dallas and Jamie Ward operating on the flanks behind striker Josh Magennis. The manager also knows that the likes of Corry Evans, Niall McGinn and Liam Boyce could prove more than useful off the bench.
"We don't need to outline the significance of the game against Greece to the players. They have been excellent and preparations have gone very well," he said.
"Obviously the injury to Jonny at the weekend was a blow but one thing I have noticed in the last three days, maybe more so than in the past, is that the squad is stronger now than at any time I've been in charge.
"I genuinely believe that we have the players to step in and deal with this game, in terms of dealing with the situation with Jonny not being available, and also with the suspensions we have.
"There are some players who have waited a long time for their opportunity and they're going to get it in a massive game. Everyone is looking forward to it.

Skipper Davis ready to take final leap into history
Legend Billy Bingham would be 'elated' by Euro success
"The belief in the squad is fantastic. Looking at the training, it is very encouraging. Everything that we've seen this week encourages me to believe that we'll get what we need.
"All week the preparation has been around our strengths, what has made us successful in this campaign and re-emphasising that. We are the top goalscorers in the group. We're unbeaten at home as well.
"It's a case of belief. A case of trust among each other. That belief has grown game by game. These opportunities don't come around for Northern Ireland players very often.
"Players like our captain Steven Davis have gone through a lot of campaigns to get to this position and having had that experience they'll make sure this is an opportunity they'll take.
"If for some reason the result isn't what we hope for against Greece, we have to recover and be ready to play again on Sunday. That's a big challenge but that's why we have to prepare. We get two bites at this which is a nice position to be in but obviously we want to do it at the first attempt."
On what qualification would signify for the players, O'Neill added: "As an international player, you write your legacy in terms of the number of times you play, the number of memorable performances you have, and obviously if you get the chance to go to a major tournament. These players can write their legacy in the fact that they go to a major tournament."
The former Shamrock Rovers boss was full of praise for his players, especially the spirit and togetherness they have generated within the squad, and the Northern Ireland supporters ahead of the biggest game of his career.
He stated both have inspired him. In turn he has inspired them.

Both relievers have engendered more confidence with each spring appearance, combining to allow one run in 15 innings while striking out 16 and issuing two walks. Lidge took his latest turn today, throwing a 1-2-3 ninth inning with a strikeout. He has relished the entire spring and just because of his glimmering results – seven innings, no walks, one run, nine strikeouts. For the first time in four years, he is full healthy in the spring.
"There's nothing prohibiting me from throwing inside or outside, throwing sliders wherever," Lidge said earlier this spring. "I was a little tentative when I came back last year. The way I finished off the year last year, command-wise, I feel like I'm there right now. … If I'm throwing 90 with command of my slider, that's good. Anything above that is gravy.
"I'm feeling real good right now. To be honest, it's kind of come around a little bit quicker than I thought it would, which is obviously great. My arm strength is kind of going the right way."
Last year, Lidge tore his rotator cuff in the spring and did not return until late July.
After returning, he threw his slider more than 70 percent of the time as his fastball velocity dropped to 89.3 miles per hour on average, down from 93.6 in 2009. In his initial outings back, Lidge threw his fastball around 87 and 88 miles per hour. By the time the season ended, he had upped his velocity to 91 and 92.
Lidge did not expect to match that during the spring, but figured he would during the regular season, when his adrenaline flowed. The stadium radar gun may have been a tick high, but his fastball today zipped at 91 and 92 miles per hour on the scoreboard. He thinks he can pitch how he wants to pitch with a 90-mph fastball, which should not be a problem.
The Nationals signed Lidge to a one-year, $1 million deal to help Henry Rodriguez and Tyler Clippard set-up. He has had trouble staying healthy, and he is 35-years-old. But if this spring is a preview of the season, and the Nationals need a closer for more than a handful of games, then they got themselves a bargain.
>>> Steve Lombardozzi made his first miscue in the outfield today, letting a Jose Reyes double down the line scoot past him and allowing Reyes to motor to third. The ball rolled along the wall, a tricky carom for a rookie infielder trying to learn left field. "He was a little aggressive," Johnson said. "That's just not being an outfielder."

Brandon's Word: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a Feast
by Brandon Lee Tenney
September 18, 2009
Six years ago, co-directors Philip Lord and Chris Miller started writing the animated adaptation of Judi and Ron Barrett's classic children's story Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Three and a half years ago, Lord and Miller and, by their account, around five hundred others began bringing that script to life. Well, come September 18th, the story of a young inventor who turns water into food hits theaters everywhere. And, my word, what a smorgasbord of delicacies this animated film is!
The Barretts' book remains one of my most fond memories. Its spine cracked so that each page was able to lay flat without assistance, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs never strayed very far from my bedside table -- right along side Stellaluna and Where the Wild Things Are. Like most great children's stories, the story itself is unsurprisingly shallow. But within those pages was a world where food, any type of food, any dessert, any entree, any gastronomic creation could rain from the sky. Within those pages was the seed out of which countless hours of imagination grew. But when the food grew too large, the consequences of such a delicious disaster became known, what then?
Well, from that same seed grew Phil Lord's and Chris Miller's stunning adaptation. A story wholly dedicated to its predecessor, but aware and proud that it's different -- unlike the film's main character, whose pursuit of world-wide notoriety blinds him of what's most important. And it is -- different. Even weird at times. The film's humor is unto itself -- preferring a style of blatantly stating the obvious and continually prodding the joke at play. It steers close to the edge of obtuse without ever fully losing itself completely. And it all just works. Of course, these moments will pass clean over the younger crowd's heads (as will most of the references, but we'll get to those later), but they'll never be lost or confused. Where as kids will see a very hilarious ice cream snowball fight, I just so happened to be taken aback by the faux assassination-like violence being displayed via ice cream balls straight to the head. Weird, but hilarious all the same. Above all, this is a still a story for children. For all the smiles I saw on kids' faces, you'd think The Joker had contaminated the theatre's air supply with an aerosolized Joker venom.
Though, as this is ultimately a film for the youngins, the story is what you might expect. The underdog, Flint Lockwood, voiced superbly by the hilarious Bill Hader, must realize he's had what it takes to be great inside himself all along and that maybe what he really wanted isn't exactly what he really needed. There's your standard love interest, Anna Faris lending her voice to Sam Sparks, an aspiring network weather girl who's real passion is that of the very science behind what she's reporting. And then there's the classic, but always heart-whelming father-son story at the film's core. But it's a testament to the film's sense of self that its creators are absolutely unapologetic in their admission that these expectations are, well, to be expected. They know that you know. But it's the ride that's the real treat.
And it is fun. Every set up, no matter how small, has its corresponding pay off. Every joke is rich with heart and real purpose. Especially those jokes that seem to lack purpose at all. Whether it be Flint Lockwood's outrageous proclivity to provide his own sound effects and narration to everything around him, or the Mr. T-voiced Officer Earl Devereaux's insistence on calling everyone by their full name and expressing his love for his son incessantly throughout the film. There's subtext behind it all. Lockwood's dreams of grandeur, living outside himself. Devereaux's big heart always on his sleeve as a foil to Lockwood's own father, voiced by James Caan doing his best Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force impression -- and bringing a tear to my eye whilst doing so. And while it may be a simple story on the surface, it's more than substantial underneath. This is a film one should be proud to see and even more proud to take a child to see. A strong female character who finds that embracing her brains is just as important, more so even, as embracing her looks. A story just barely brushing social commentary on America's problem with excess. A story of embracing one's talents wholeheartedly, but for the right reasons, for one's self. And a celebration of nerds everywhere.
But while you'll find plenty of heart, the real marrow inside its bones is the film's references. For film fans, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a potluck of callbacks. From Aliens to 2001: A Space Odyssey to Twilight Zone to Tron to Star Wars to Indiana Jones, the references per minute are off the charts. This alone guarantees that upon its second, even third watch there will be plenty to scavenge.
Though, if you are going to see it only once (and once is simply a must), the way to see it is in IMAX 3-D. If you've read anything that I've written in the past months, you'll have noticed that my feelings on the use of 3-D have been sinking deeper and deeper into rage. It's a gimmick through and through. And with movies costing upwards of $12 out here in Los Angeles already, the extra cost to see a movie in 3-D, have the screen quasi-blurry and not quite as brilliant as it could be just doesn't sit well with me. But, as I'm always willing to do when it's called for, I'm prepared to eat a bit of crow. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is the best 3-D film experience I've had yet. The depth added to each frame is magnificent, the colors just as stunning, the focus just as sharp. It's worth the extra three or four bucks. I can't imagine not seeing it as it was originally intended -- and, perhaps, there in lies the crucial element.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was, from the start, always intended to be in 3-D. And that intent shines brilliantly through. The hundreds upon hundreds of animators truly captured the essence of what could legitimately be the future of, well, at least animated films. And while I can't imagine not seeing this film in 3-D, I'm sure the quirky, perfectly stylized animation would look just as good when projected in those good ol' two standard dimensions. It's as beautiful looking as it is sounding. The animation just as expressive as the dialog warrants, as this ensemble of voice talents require. Along with the aforementioned Bill Hader, Anna Faris, and Mr. T (whose character sports a perfectly ironic hairdo), the film utilizes the one and only Bruce Campbell along with Andy Samberg, Bobb'e J. Thompson, Will Forte, and even a spectacular six-or-so word performance of sublime proportions from Neil Patrick Harris as the monkey Steve.
To close, I'd like to draw attention to the fact that, yes, this is an overwhelmingly positive review. But the film's flaws are few and very far between. It accomplishes its goal of appealing to children first and foremost while still providing enough adult-aimed fun and weight to a morally sound, lovingly honest story. And for that, well, you better believe that that kind of success should be rewarded with giant ice cream scoops of praise. Philip Lord and Chris Miller knew exactly what they were doing. And it shows. It succeeds. Is it better than Monsters vs. Aliens? Yes, for sure. Is it better than Pixar's Up? At times, yes. At times, no. The stories alone lend themselves poorly to comparison. But I will say that it's certainly the most fun I've had at the theatre since Star Trek. The most laughs since I Love You Man. Maybe even more so on both accounts.
So if you're going to see any disaster movie this year, forget 2012 and Roland Emmerich, make it Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. If you're going to see any father-son story of redemption and inner strength, forget The Road, make it Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. And if you're only going to see one movie in 3-D, forget that Avatar thing, make it Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. You'll be full for hours afterward. That, I guarantee.

Here is picture of all my first makes. I wanted to start this blog so I can see all my pictures in one place.
This is my first necklace I ever made after I went to the gem 'n' beads fair at newton abbott racecourse. I made this by following instructions in a book. This was really easy to make and turned out well.
My second necklace is this double standed one. I had flicked through the book and saw it talking about double standed necklace and decided to do something different. This worked out well at the time. It is not my favourite and one of the beads has broken, the quality was not great seen lots of cracks in the other ones now.
My 3rd one I made was from the LGC magazine and I picked it up so that I could get some new ideas. I copied one of the designs in their and actually made my first set of earrings to go with it.
The next one was done by looking at reading LGC and seeing that I don't have to cover the whole wire in beads. I can use crimp beads to fix them in place. This is one of my faavourites at the moment. It's now joint with the next I've made. I believe that I might prefer the one I'm currently making though so you can see it depends on which is the most recent.
The most recent that I've made it the following this one plus the black and silver necklace has had lots of comments from people asking me where I brought it. This makes me feel happy as I started making jewellery as something to do. A couple of people have asked me to make some bits for them. This one I also made a bracelet to go with it.
I have a couple of other makes but going to put them in another post as this is getting very long to deal with. This are all the makes I have made so far for myself without anything else in mind. I have tried with them all to do something different.

Children of the 90's. This commercial is for you. And me. And god, it's kind of creepy. Still figuring out what "adulthood" really means in this day and age and they want to throw Lisa Frank folders and light up LA gears in my face. You know those are my soft spots. Damn! Weird to think that as I get older, I will constantly be a part of this "child of the 90s" demographic. I'm curious to see what kind of nostalgia they will employ to sell me my first Life Alert accessory.

A very relevant and very poignant look into the past. This is pretty much as good as it gets as far as internet peepholes into the past. MLK two days later.. This was posted by a friend on facebook. Interestingly enough this video was only posted the other day. The following is a description:
My Grandfather, Carl Vincent Clausen, was a professor of Cinematography and Screen Writing at the Ohio State University during the 1960's. In the spring of 1968, he received modest funding to make a documentary about what change meant to both african american and white students in the Columbus Ohio School district. Although Segregation had officially ended with "Brown vs. the Board of Education", the schools were still highly racially differentiated. He was scheduled to start filming on April 5th 1968. The night before, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered. Ignoring protestations from his crew, my Grandfather refused to cancel the shoot. The result is this film, "A Lesson on Change". It captures the heart break and the long sighted vision of one Miss Delores Diggs, as she eloquently explains the loss of Dr. King to her young students. Amidst the horror and tragedy of the day, this hero, this teacher, beautifully elevates and translates misery into hope, anger into love and violence into solidarity. "A Lesson on Change" was given to me by my grandmother in a large rusty 16mm canister. I was able to convert it to mini-DV before leaving Ohio for graduate school at the University of Southern California School of Cinema Arts, the same graduate school that Carl was attending when my father was born. I sat with Carl and we watched the film. I had never seen him cry before. Although his dementia was advanced by then, he became very lucid. He told me that this was the most important film he had ever made. This film was never released to the public, and it seems that today on Martin Luther King day, and the same day that our first African American president has been sworn into office for a second term, it is a good moment to the remember and to see. It is with bravery and beauty, like Dr. King, like Miss Delores Diggs, and like Carl, that the world receives it's lesson on change. Thank you for watching and appreciating.

"By the same formula — measuring by who sits in the middle of the income spectrum — Manhattan's middle class exists somewhere between $45,000 and $134,000. But if you are defining middle class by lifestyle, to accommodate the cost of living in Manhattan, that salary would have to fall between $80,000 and $235,000. This means someone making $70,000 a year in other parts of the country would need to make $166,000 in Manhattan to enjoy the same purchasing power."
A really interesting article in the New York Times Real Estate section regarding the definition of "middle class" in Manhattan. Worth reading. And confirms my suspicion that even with a corporate job, according to this article, I am barely middle class by Manhattan lifestyle standards. Shit is upside down. Even with the sting of the Jan 1 payroll tax, it's hard to believe an increase on taxing the general "middle class" of America will stimulate the economy. But maybe I don't understand enough about economics. All I know is when the government raises my taxes and I see less in my bank account, I start shaking all the loose change out of my dirty, Brooklyn peasant clothes. This article only reinforces my belief that the only way to make money in America is to start your own business. #Dontdependonthegovernmentforshit

Loyalist flute band Young Conway Volunteers have 'sectarian song' convictions quashed
Thirteen members of a loyalist flute band have successfully appealed convictions for provocatively playing a sectarian tune outside a Catholic Church in north Belfast.
Prosecutors did not oppose their challenge to the guilty verdicts - but only because they consented to being bound over to keep the peace for two years.
Charges had been brought against the defendants, all members of the Young Conway Volunteers, due to their actions during a Twelfth of July parade back in 2012.
It was previously claimed they took part in a rendition of the Famine Song while marching in a circle at St Patrick's Chapel on Donegall Street.
The band members were accused of doing a provocative act likely to cause public disorder or a breach of the peace.
They denied playing the controversial tune, declared racist by senior judges in Scotland, which includes the line 'The famine's over, why don't you go home?'.
Instead, they claimed to have been performing the Beach Boys hit 'Sloop John B'.
Played to the same music, that song has the lyrics 'I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.'
The episode outside the church marked the first in a series of flashpoint incidents at the location.
The 10 adult defendants were:
- Aaron McCrory, 29, of Argyle Court, Belfast
- Alan Adlam, 42, from Dewey Street, Belfast
- Christopher McKay, 24, of Wallasey Park, Belfast
- Bryan Green, 27, from Canmore Court, Belfast
- Stephen Smyth, 22, of Tennent Street, Belfast
- William Carlisle, 30, from Ainsworth Avenue, Belfast
- Jonathan Airdrie, 25, from Columbia Street, Belfast
- Paul Shaw, 35, of Geoffrey Street, Belfast
- Thomas Gibney, 36, from Lawnbrook Avenue, Belfast
- Ryan Aitcheson, 28, of Ravelston Avenue in Newtownabbey, County Antrim
Charges were also brought against three youths at the time of the incident.
During the original contested hearing at Belfast Magistrates' Court defence lawyers played songs by a Swedish folk singer, a Star Trek enthusiast and football fan chants - all to the same tune - in a bid to have their clients cleared.
Paul Shaw, band leader on the day of the parade, was the only one of the accused to give evidence.
He said they had been forced to stop outside the church due to a break in the parade and started up the Beach Boys tune to ward off lethargy among members tired from the previous night's celebrations.
In April the 13 defendants were all convicted, with three of them receiving five-month suspended prison sentences.
Fines of £300 were imposed on all but two of the youngest accused, while binding over orders were also handed down as part of the sentencing process.
A challenge to the convictions was due to be heard at Belfast County Court today.
But instead it was confirmed that the Public Prosecution Service would not be resisting the case. On that basis the appeals were allowed.
The outcome was reached after each of the defendants agreed to being bound over in the sum of £50 to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for two years.
Any default could see them jailed for up to seven days.
Outside court Mr Shaw expressed his delight at the outcome.
He said: "Justice has been done - we fought this for three years and we wouldn't have if we didn't believe it was a just cause."
Solicitor John Greer, who represented 12 of the defendants, added: "No offence was ever intended to the residents and parishioners of the church.
"Common sense has prevailed and my clients want to put the matter behind them."

Are you a Christian Woman who is longing to
- Feel like you are "enough," instead of always comparing yourself to others?
- Confidently put your faith first in your career, staying true your beliefs in the workplace?
- Break free from what the world defines as success to follow your heart's desires, the desires you know God planted within you?
- Just say no to all those people who are constantly pulling you in every direction, except what you want to do?
- Find some sort of balance, instead of living in chaos and fatigue?
You are not alone! Over the past few years, I have talked with so many Christian women who are struggling to achieve personal and professional success. They have a deep desire to live according to God's purpose for their lives, but they feel stuck, unable to discern that clear path because of roadblocks that keep them from moving forward. For these women of faith, success is even more elusive because they feel like they have to look like they "have it all together" on the outside when inside they are crumbling.
I want you to trade your fear, doubt and exhaustion from being who you aren't, for the freedom, energy and joy that is found from living authentically as who God created you to be!
Together, we will walk together through a proven process to unearth your unique gifts and strengths, overcome your limiting beliefs and create a strategic plan for success on your terms, not what the world says you should be. I'll be right there with you all the way as your navigator, cheerleader, accountability partner and friend. Most importantly, we will have God as our Lighthouse, pointing the way.
In today's hectic world, when things often seem out of control, it is more important than ever that you become grounded in who you are, and what you really want in life so you can serve at a higher level. I am here to give you the tools and confidence to stand firm in your purpose as you prepare for your next steps, both personally and professionally.
It's time to let your brilliance shine!
"Wow! What a difference working with you has made to my life. I can't begin to express my gratitude for your hard work, patience and brilliance helping me define the road ahead. When I started your program, I was demoralized, scared and doubtful that I could define my life in a new way, even though I longed desperately for a change. You showed me how to rethink who I am and what I can do….Today, I have confidence that I can fulfill my plan—and I owe it all to you." ~Ann Goldenberg
Who do I work with?
- Any woman who feels like she has been living on auto-pilot for years, and now wants to live with greater meaning and purpose.
- Professional women who are experiencing career burnout, ready to explore the possibilities for their next steps as they create success on their own terms.
- Women who want to follow their dreams of starting a business that is fulfilling and that glorifies God.
- Entrepreneurs who want to experience greater success as they boldly live out their faith through their businesses.
- Women who are in transition such as divorce, the empty nest or retirement, and who are searching for their new "identity.
- Women who want to leave a rich legacy, and want to leave behind a life with no regrets.
If you are ready to reflect, renew and redirect your life, there is no better time than now! I am here to guide you, committed to providing the clarity, confidence and tools you need to make the leap.
Finding Susan was like discovering a pool of fresh water for me! Susan has been so generous with me as we've gotten to know each other over the past four months. I appreciate the way she sees a situation I'm experiencing from a fresh angle and then challenges me to take a new approach. She speaks from experience – both success and failure – and is incredibly genuine. I am so grateful for this woman and what she represents, and I hope that more will take advantage of her keen and sensitive insight and wisdom. There is much to gain! ~Caroline DePalatis
If you are ready to live a life that fully honors God, I offer three options.
Let's get started!
Blessings and Brilliance: 5 Steps to Confidence, Clarity and Ease
What would it feel like to be authentically living out your God-designed purpose, comfortable with who you are in your career? Would you like to get unstuck and enjoy life's journey, knowing you are bringing glory to Him all the way?
Join me for a 5-step self-study course when you will learn how to live authentically as you follow God's calling for your life. By aligning your career, personal life and volunteer work with the purpose that He created you to fulfill, you will experience higher self-worth, greater meaning and reduced stress as you confidently put Christ first in the workplace.
Bold & Brilliant Inner Circle of Success
This group coaching program is for women who want to ignite God's brilliance in their lives as they integrate faith, family and career to honor God in every way. By surrounding herself with her own personal advisory board, each member will gain clarity about her life's purpose, she will create a unique plan for success on her terms, not the world's, and she will take giant steps toward achieving her God-designed potential through group problem solving, fresh perspectives, accountability partners and the pursuit of excellence, not perfection.
Reinvention Roadtrip
If you are ready to take decisive action toward achieving your God-given potential, this program will give you the steps to do it with greater confidence and ease. I will personally guide you through a proven process to
- unload the heavy baggage of self-sabotage that is holding you back.
- embrace your unique gifts, strengths and core values so you can live an authentic life.
- cast a vision for your ideal future, following the path that God has created for you.
- create a strategic plan to achieve success on your own terms, boldly living out your faith along the way.
- lay out a detailed plan allowing you to start your own business, if that is where your purpose leads you!
Susan has been a God send in my life! Working with her has truly been life changing. Now that I understand my life's purpose, I am able to prioritize and focus on what truly matters. She has also tremendously helped me with goal setting and a plan for achieving those goals. The most important component of Susan's programs and individual sessions is that it is all Christ centered. I'm truly thankful for her Godly wisdom and her sharing her life's passion with me! ~Hillary Barton

The Divine Conspiracy
by Dallas Willard
Reading and Discussion Guide
Entering the Eternal Kind of Life Now
1. Generally, how would you say "eternal life" is defined and understood? How is this different from the way Dallas Willard describes it? Dallas says this about "eternal living" or an "eternal kind of life":
Jesus offers himself as God's doorway into the life that is truly life. Confidence in him leads us today, as in other times, to become his apprentices in eternal living. (p. 12)
Jesus came among us to show and teach the life for which we were made. . . . By relying on his word and presence we are enabled to reintegrate . . . our life into the infinite rule of God. And that is the eternal kind of life. (p. 27)
The person of Jesus, welcomes us just as we are, just where we are, and makes it possible for us to translate our "ordinary" life into an . . . eternal kind of life. (p. 31)
2. Dallas views the kingdom of God as the "range of his effective will, where what he wants done is done" (p. 25). How would you put that in your own words? If you were to hold that view, what would it mean to pray, "Thy kingdom come," in the Lord's Prayer?
Gospels of Sin Management
3. Dallas asserts that both of the current "gospels of sin management" overlook the invitation to "have confidence in [God] in every dimension of our real life, to believe that he is right about and adequate to everything" (p. 49). How do you respond to the possibility of having an interactive, real-life relationship with God? What is attractive about this? Why might some people not be interested?
What Jesus Knew: Our God-Bathed World
4. Consider the following list. Which of these ideas about God (if any) intrigue you? Why? How do these ideas affect the way people might feel about God?
God leads an interesting life.
God is full of joy.
God is one great eternal experience of all that is good and true and beautiful and right.
God cherishes the earth and each human being upon it. (pp. 62–64)
5. Because "no human being or institution, no time, no space, no spiritual being, no event—stands between God and those who trust him," then "our universe is a perfectly safe place to be" (pp. 66–67). Think back to events you recall from the gospels. How did Jesus live as if "the world is a perfectly safe place to be"? Do you feel the same freedom to live this way? Why or why not?
Who Is Really Well Off?—The Beatitudes
6. The Beatitudes aren't teachings on how to be blessed; rather, they are illustrations of the "availability of the kingdom through personal relationship to Jesus" (p. 106). What does it tell you about God that Jesus began his ministry by rolling out the welcome mat to the diseased and afflicted? How do you feel about that? Who in today's world would be comparable to these people? What do Jesus's teaching and life invite Christians today to be or do?
7. In the redemptive community, "old categories drop away" (Jew/Greek, slave/free, civilized/uncivilized), says Dallas. So if a congregation of believers in Jesus is "totally nice, that is a sure sign something has gone wrong. For here are the foolish, weak, lowly, and despised of this world, whom God has chosen to cancel out the humanly great (1 Cor. 1:26–31; 6)" (pp. 126, 125). What is beautiful about a community that is not "totally nice"? What is difficult about it? What sort of effort is required of its believers to make this work—to make love a reality in it?
The Rightness of the Kingdom Heart: Beyond the Goodness of Scribes and Pharisees
8. How do we continue to make the "fundamental mistake of the scribe and Pharisee" (p. 143)? To what aim did Jesus point us instead?
9. Dallas asserts, "Anger indulged, instead of simply waved off, always has in it an element of self-righteousness and vanity" (p. 149). Do you agree that's always true? What situations, if any, do you recall when anger and frustration arose out of your being sure you were right or good or justified in some way? (For example, you became impatient because you felt you shouldn't be forced to wait on someone.)
10. Dallas contrasts being "in lust" with "the goodness of the kingdom heart, . . . from [which] come deeds of respect and purity that characterize a sexuality as it was meant by God to be" (p. 168). How is lust the opposite of respect and purity? How does lusting for someone hinder the development of respect for that person and purity in the relationship?
Investing in the Heavens: Escaping the Deceptions of Reputation and Wealth
11. What treasures do we forfeit when we focus on managing others' opinions of us and valuing possessions as highly as some people think we should? How does focusing on reputation and wealth make it more difficult to trust that "this present world is a perfectly safe place for us to be" (p. 208)?
The Community of Prayerful Love
12. Dallas asserts that condemnation "knifes into vulnerable areas at the core of our being. That is why it hurts so badly and at the same time why we rely upon it so heavily. The decision to step aside from it, neither giving it nor receiving it, is a major turning point in one's life" (p. 221). How is our life with God in the kingdom diminished by giving condemnation (such as letting people know we disapprove of them, thinking they're wrong, or thinking we're better)? By receiving it? What is recommended instead (pp. 236–239)?
13. Dallas writes, "What God gets out of our lives—and, indeed, what we get out of our lives—is simply the person we become. It is God's intention that we should grow into the kind of person he could empower to do what we want to do" (p. 250). How does prayer (in a cosmic setting) help us grow into such a person?
14. What feelings might a person experience when making any of the five requests of the Lord's Prayer (p. 258)? Or when anticipating that these requests will be granted?
On Being a Disciple, or Student, of Jesus
15. As a disciple, I learn "from Jesus to live my life as he would live my life if he were I" (p. 283). Ponder how Jesus might live your life if he were you in relation to your job or volunteer position or other roles you play. How do you think this might look? If you wish, consider also how Jesus might do any of the following things in particular:
Practice a gentle but firm noncooperation with things that everyone knows to be wrong
Offer sensitive, nonofficious, nonintrusive, nonobsequious service to others
Cultivate inward attitudes of constant prayer for activities of the workplace
16. Dallas says the underlying problem in churches today is "nondiscipleship": "It is not the much discussed moral failures, financial abuses, or the amazing general similarity between Christians and non-Christians. These are only effects of the underlying problem. The fundamental negative reality among Christian believers now is their failure to be constantly learning how to live their lives in The Kingdom Among Us" (p. 301). Do you agree or disagree? If you agree, what is the next step for Christians? If you disagree, what do you think is the core problem in churches?
A Curriculum for Christlikeness
17. Have you had any experiences in which art or imagination, poetry or song, praise, prayer, or worship has helped enthrall your mind with God—when you saw God as lovable, as a "radiant, happy, friendly, accessible and totally competent being" (p. 329)?
18. A spiritual discipline helps us (1) withdraw from total dependence on the merely human or natural resources and (2) depend on the ultimate reality, which is God and his kingdom (p. 353). How do the disciplines of solitude, silence, fasting, secrecy (not letting good deeds be made known), study, and worship help us do these two things? What has been your experience of using disciplines such as these?
19. Consider the following points in implementing a curriculum of Christlikeness (pp. 371‒72). How do they differ from the notion that you must somehow "fix" your church, that is, set it straight, or give up on it?
Pursue the two objectives of the curriculum ourselves: enthralling the mind with God and breaking the power of evil in our bodies.
"Prayerfully observe those we serve" to see who has already been "ravished by the kingdom of God." Lead those persons through the curriculum too.
When speaking or teaching, talk about the gospel of the kingdom of the heavens (what Jesus taught) as we pray and love others.
The Restoration of All Things
20. Dallas offers two descriptions of the vision of the afterlife portion of our eternal life: "an everlasting enjoyment of life in God far transcending the earth and life on it" (p. 387) and "a limitlessly enhanced life, as a state of being more intensely alive in an existence which is both perfect fulfillment and yet also endless activity and newness" (p. 391). How does this vision differ from the way people often think about an afterlife in what they call "heaven"? What feelings does this different version evoke in you?

IFA 2015 tends to be the kind of event where the biggest manufacturers get to strut their stuff and get all the media air time, but we're taking a break from that to cover the Hisense Magic Mirror which was announced this past week at IFA 2015. Hisense isn't the biggest manufacturer around, at least in smart devices, but their latest tablet, the Magic Mirror, definitely deserves some attention because of those bezels. Yes, Hisense appears to have opted for the new trend to reduce the bezel width along the top and side edges as much as possible with the only obvious bezel along the bottom edge, no doubt to accommodate capacitive keys.
The Magic Mirror has a 8.4-inch 2560×1200 resolution display powered by a Rockchip RK3288 processor and 2GB RAM – not the most impressive around, but likely enough if you're using the Magic Mirror for watching media, which you probably want to as the device has a Dolby Audio system, with dual speaker grilles on the back. The Magic Mirror also runs Android Lollipop which Hisense says is only lightly themed. From the online retailer JingDong, the device can already be bought for ¥1,799 or around $280 USD.
What do you think about the Hisense Magic Mirror? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Adnan Nawaz interviews Guardian's Ian Black 23.01.11
Al Jazeera documents: Adnan Nawaz reveals his agenda in an interview the Guardian's Ian Black. Black is quite informative and dispassionate, granting that the concessions that the Palestinians made in 2008 were already understood as part of any viable deal back in 2000. Nawaz is not happy with this and pushes his line about how these leaks were "hugely embarrassing to the Palestinian Authority: giving up on everything..." When BBC's anchor is more partisan the the Guardian, you know the MSNM is in trouble.
