While classic weddings will always have a special place in our hearts, we couldn't stop buzzing about so-weird-they're-awesome nuptials in 2013 (bring on the celeb wedding crashers and Photoshop memes!). Check out the most unusual headlines that crossed our desks this past year.
10. Husband creates corn maze of wedding photo for wife on 50th anniversary
Some couples commemorate their golden anniversary by exchanging gifts, taking a romantic getaway or hosting a party with their family members and friends. Paul Derthick took a more unconventional approach — he constructed a maze through 17 acres of golden corn that resembled his 1963 wedding portrait!
"He did it with the kids. They kept it a secret," his wife Marie told Good Morning America. "It was at the end of June that I finally did find out. I thought they were nuts, but it's actually turned out very well."

9. Canadian couple weds hanging off the edge of a tower, 116 stories above ground
Getting married is nerve-wracking enough, but Lacy Boland and John Kirk took their love to dizzying new heights when they became the first couple to get married on the EdgeWalk at Toronto's CN Tower, Canada's tallest structure.
"We always wanted a memorable wedding and what could be more exciting than to have it on EdgeWalk," said Boland and Kirk in a statement. "Our wedding seemed to be a distant dream as our three wonderful children have always come first. We feel truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful experience."

8. Bride and groom play guitar duet down the aisle
When you're a guitar teacher, you know your wedding guests are expecting some killer tunes at your wedding. Needless to say, groom Jordan Strauss delivered when he pulled out an electric guitar during his wedding ceremony and performed Pachelbel's "Canon in D."
The best part? When his bride Andrea made her grand entrance, she joined in, having learned how to play just in time for the big day! We wish the couple a lifetime of making sweet music together.
7. Wedding dress is re-worn 148 times (and counting)
If Jennifer Salvage's wedding dress could talk, it would have some pretty wild travel stories to tell. It's gone dog sledding in Iceland, paragliding in New Zealand, and even taken an under-the-sea dip in Maui. The gown's been worn in 19 locations across six continents and has traveled a total of 147,500 miles.
Salvage brings it along to every vacation in a backpack as part of the "One Dress, One Woman, One World" photography project that she started with her husband, Jeff. "We love the idea of using up the dress, reliving our wedding over and over again," he says.

6. Celebrities help fans put a ring on it
It all started when "Scrubs" star Zach Braff helped Matt Hulbert propose to his girlfriend Janice in an adorable video that also starred all of her family members and friends urging her to "say yes!"
Then Jon Bon Jovi escorted Branka Delic down the aisle at her Las Vegas wedding. ("We're living on a prayer and we want you to come lay your hands on me and walk me down the aisle!" the Aussie super fan begged in an online petition.)
Just when we thought celebs were maxed out on ring duty, Aaron Paul from "Breaking Bad" and Justin Timberlake got in on the fun, too.
5. Honda crashes Irish wedding
Are you obsessed with your car? Mairead and Kevin are such big fans of Honda — together their families have owned over 20 Hondas — that they asked their local car dealer to loan them a few cars for bridal party transportation on their big day.
But the company had something much bigger in mind: They sent eight cars, each filled with an amazing surprise, including relatives from Ireland who previously couldn't attend the wedding!
4. Woman's "dream wedding" Pinterest board is brought to life
Groom Ryan Leak planned a surprise joint engagement/wedding to girlfriend Amanda Roman using her "Dream Wedding" Pinterest board as his guide, which contained over 200 photos featuring everything from bouquets to must-have photos.
"It helped me out tremendously...she planned the entire wedding without even knowing she planned the entire wedding," he says.
3. Newlyweds toss bouquet and garter from giant human slingshot
Natasha and Jake Johnson decided to fling themselves out of a human slingshot before making their bouquet and garter tosses! In case you're wondering where in the world you'd find such a contraption, their venue, Hobble Creek Lounge, already had the slingshot on premises.
"Jake and I joked around about me doing the human slingshot in my wedding dress but I thought, 'No way, it will ruin my dress,'" Natasha told HuffPost Weddings. "Well, I changed my mind the night before the wedding and said, 'Why not!'"
2. Bride intentionally sets herself on fire in wedding dress
Over the years, "trash the dress" sessions have become more popular — we've seen couples embrace underwater in their wedding attire, get into epic snowball fights and more.
But one Israeli bride, Natasha Samuel, took the trend too far when she had her photographer, Eric Simantov, douse her wedding gown in flammable liquid and set it on fire. He quickly snapped a photo and she ran into the ocean to extinguish the flames. Don't try this at home!
1. T-rex invades bridal party photos
James Lowder and Katie Young's Jurassic Park-inspired wedding photo took the Internet by storm, and it's easy to see why! Their photographer, Quinn Miller, suggested that they take a "joke shot" with their bridal party, posing as if they were running away from something. Using the magic of Photoshop, he added the dinosaur in later.
Hailed as "the best wedding photo ever" by the blogosphere, it was shared over 12,000 times on the photographer's official Facebook page.

We Calmed Her with a Hymn
My partner, John, and I are police officers in the Los Angeles area as well as active members of the Church. One night we arrested a very uncooperative and argumentative woman who seemed to have a great deal of anger in her heart. She screamed at us so loudly that her voice could be clearly heard throughout our three-story police station. Her language was crude and vulgar. The more John and I tried to calm her down, the more she continued to scream obscenities at us.
During the booking process, it came time for the jailer to fingerprint her. Since the jailer was a small woman who could have been easily overcome by our angry captive, John and I stood by in the fingerprint room to provide for the personal safety of the jailer. The onslaught of filthy language continued to pour out of this woman at the top of her lungs.
At times such as these I often have to remind myself that such people are also children of our Heavenly Father and that he loves them just as he loves me. This thought was running through my mind when my partner John suggested that maybe we should sing to this woman. We figured that singing couldn't hurt because we had already used every police tactic available to us to try to calm her down.
Quietly John and I began singing "I Am a Child of God" (Hymns, no. 301). After the first verse this angry woman began to quiet down and cooperate with us. She started speaking softly and apologized for her behavior. Tears came to her eyes. It was as if she had become a different person. Never had we witnessed such a dramatic change in an offender's disposition. Neither John nor I have great musical talent, and we were amazed that this simple hymn had calmed this woman's troubled heart and brought peace to her mind.
Even though we often deal with angry and violent people, we have learned that there is never an inconvenient time to draw upon the teachings of the Savior when dealing with our fellowmen.
Please Heal Leif
One day in November 1989 I received a telephone call from the principal of the school where three of our children attend. She explained that Leif, our youngest child, had been walking along a railing and had fallen off, hitting his head on the concrete below.
When I arrived at the school, the principal told me that Leif was drifting in and out of consciousness and that the school staff had been so concerned that they had summoned an ambulance. I found my little son lying on a couch in a fetal position. He would answer only when spoken to, and occasionally his eyes rolled back in his head. He lay very still. However, I felt very calm as I waited for the ambulance.
When the paramedics arrived, they checked Leif over carefully, administered oxygen to him, splinted his neck, and placed him on a stretcher. He was limp and passive. On the way to the hospital, as I sat holding my son's hand, it came to me that what Leif needed most was a priesthood blessing. Yet there was no one to ask; the Church then was not well established on our small island in British Columbia. Even if I could reach my husband, Ted, it would take two hours for him to arrive. So, as I sat there, I bowed my head and offered a prayer. I asked Heavenly Father to please heal Leif.
Within moments Leif began to stir. He pushed away the nose prongs that were delivering oxygen to him, saying he did not want them anymore. He uncurled from the fetal position and turned to lie flat on his back.
We arrived at the hospital where a concerned doctor was waiting for us. Leif was placed on a hospital bed in the emergency room and responded cheerfully as the doctor examined him and tested his reflexes. Soon Leif sat up on the edge of the bed laughing and chatting with the hospital staff. The contrast to his earlier behavior amazed everyone.
All of Leif's reflexes tested normal, and because he seemed to be feeling fine, the doctor said I could take him home. After we arrived home, I called the school and thanked them for their care and concern and let them know that Leif seemed to be okay and might be back in class the next day. The school principal could hardly believe Leif was all right.
This experience strengthened my testimony that Father in Heaven does indeed hear and answer our prayers. He comforts us in our extremities and, according to our faith and his wisdom, bestows marvelous blessings.

Will You Forgive Me?
I glanced out my window and saw her—my enemy—coming up the street. I had dreaded approaching her, but here was my opportunity. It was now or never. My stomach churned, my heart pounded, and I shook all over as I raced out the front door.
It had started out innocently enough. My boy had fought with her boy, and she had come to my house to confront me and to tell me how I should be raising my son. While the boys soon made up their differences, this was not so with their mothers.
Then, in the ensuing weeks, I began to hear things from our neighbors that she was supposedly saying about me. Her comments hurt deeply, and soon I, too, started talking about her behind her back. We went to great lengths to avoid each other, including walking on opposite sides of the street and even missing a neighborhood party if the other had been invited. This went on for two long years.
One day as I knelt beside my bed in prayer, I was struck by the thought that if I continued harboring ill feelings toward my neighbor, the Spirit could not abide with me. I realized that I had let hate grow in my heart, and it was eating away at my very soul.
I desperately needed my Heavenly Father and his Spirit to be with me, and I sorely needed to repent. I fasted and prayed for help regarding how I might mend the breach between us. I needed an opportunity to make things right.
Now it seemed my prayers had been answered. Gathering my courage, I ran out the door to stop her and grabbed her by her shoulders. She stared at me in shock. Quickly I blurted out, "Will you please, please forgive me? I do not know if we can ever be friends, and I do not know what you will do in the future, but I vow from this day forward never to speak ill of you again. I will no longer consider you to be my enemy."
What happened next is hard to express. The sweet Spirit of the Lord enveloped both of us on that special summer day. As we took each other into our arms, the bitterness melted away. We cried and hugged and laughed. What a sharp contrast to the feeling of just a short time before.
Love, joy, and peace are such sweet companions to choose to surround ourselves with in this life that I wondered why I had chosen to carry around heavy burdens of anger and ill will that weighed down my soul and sapped my spiritual strength for so long. I am pleased to say that I kept my vow and that we became friends. I have since moved, but I have not forgotten the lessons of forgiveness and love I learned that precious summer day.
Two Soldiers Gathered in His Name
In January 1977 it was cold and bleak along the German-Czechoslovakian border where I was serving as a young enlisted United States Army soldier. We were out on maneuvers, and my job was driving an ammo carrier back and forth all day between the ammo dump and the range where tanks were firing at practice targets.
It had been a cold, exhausting, and lonely week. I had recently become active in the servicemen's branch of the Church in Schweinfurt, Germany, and was forming new associations and friendships that were strengthening me in my rediscovered faith. Now, however, all those people were miles away and my loneliness turned to a gloom I could not shake. Adding to my depression, I had just spent another Christmas away from my family.
On Sunday I felt particularly depressed because I had hoped to have dinner at the home of a Latter-day Saint officer I had just met, but the demands of the field exercise kept me away. The day had been long and frustrating, and when I returned to the long huts in which we were billeted, most of the men were drunk and were passing around beer and other alcoholic beverages. They begged me to join them and to throw off my burdens in the same manner as they were doing. I had only been active in the Church a couple of months, and their calls to join them were a temptation—one that would have been easy to succumb to given my present mood.
Then I thought of Lieutenant Whitaker, the man who had brought me back into the fold and who had become a close friend. I knew how disappointed he'd be if I gave in. I also thought about some of the other young soldiers back at the base who, like myself, were feeling their way back into the Church. I could not let them down, so I turned away and sorrowfully headed back out into the cold German night.
I walked slowly through the dark, longing to be anywhere else in the world than where I was. Suddenly, headlights lit up the area in front of me and a jeep pulled up beside me.
"Peck! What are you doing?"
To my surprise it was Dennis Bryant, another member of the Schweinfurt Branch who had joined the Church about the same time I had come back into activity. I knew he was also on maneuvers, but we rarely met because we were in different companies. I was so glad to see a familiar face that I could not contain my joy. Although it was late, we agreed to get together for a sacrament meeting. We both held the Aaronic Priesthood, and our branch president had given us standing permission to administer the sacrament while out in the field whenever a few of us could get together.
I begged a piece of bread and a cup of water from the mess sergeant and met Dennis at the entrance to the motor pool. In silence we walked through the cold, muddy field to my ammo carrier. We opened the heavy metal door and climbed inside the empty cargo hold. Surrounded by cold steel, we seemed to have the warmth sucked right out of us. It was very dark, but we could see our breath, frosty and white, in the air.
We both felt awkward and uncertain about how to proceed, but we agreed that beginning with an opening prayer would be best. As I gave the prayer, a warmth seemed to come over my whole being, and I felt my loneliness lift. We sang "The Spirit of God Like a Fire" (Hymns, 1948, no. 213) for an opening song. Then I bore my testimony to Dennis and he bore his to me. The Spirit seemed to be striving with us, comforting us as we expressed our faith and belief in the Church and shared our budding testimonies of the Savior and his Atonement and our gratitude for his love and care.
We testified to each other of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and the part it had played in our conversions. Then we sang another hymn, and I humbly broke the bread. We had no flashlight, so Dennis held a burning piece of paper up to my serviceman's pocket edition of the Doctrine and Covenants to give me enough light to read the words of the sacramental prayer. As we partook, we both felt a strong witness of the Savior's love for us. I then held a burning piece of paper up to the book as Dennis blessed the cup of water held reverently in his hands. He passed the cup to me, and I took a small sip and passed it back to him.
I have been in many sacrament meetings since that time, with congregations great and small. But the reality of the Savior's love for his children has never been more strongly borne to me than on that night when two lonely soldiers knelt on the hard metal floor of a vehicle of war on a cold winter's night and witnessed truly that "where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Matt. 18:20).
The Day of the Shamrock
The Georgia sky was dark one afternoon in 1978 as I drove through rain along a winding road to the town of Lawrenceville. My neighbor had taken my two little boys to after-school Primary there, and I was going to retrieve them and then set up tables for our Relief Society homemaking meeting and luncheon scheduled for the next morning.
This is a lot of work, I thought as I drove along. I hope it's worth it. I wondered how, in my pregnant condition, I would find the energy to stop at three members' homes to pick up card tables for the luncheon and then decorate them at the church.
When my husband and I moved into the area north of Atlanta, we were delighted to find ourselves in a newly formed branch of the Church. There were a number of friendly families in the branch, and I was certain the branch would grow despite the less-than-elegant building we were renting for our meetings. Since there was no kitchen, on homemaking day we warmed our food in toaster ovens and in electric roasters and cooking pots. Decorations helped to liven up the place.
I arrived at the building just as a Primary activity ended and found my son Jared. There were children everywhere as I carried my tables through drizzling rain and into the building. None of my luncheon committee members could come to help that afternoon, and I was feeling sorry for myself. By the time I had cut white paper coverings for each table and had taped the edges securely, I was exhausted.
"What are these paper leaves for, Mommy?" asked Jared.
"Those are shamrocks, dear. They are to be pinned on the paper tablecloths for decoration," I said, trying to sound cheerful as I pinned on the shamrocks.
The next morning our Relief Society activity was a success. Everyone liked the decorations, and I was glad I had spent time on them. The sister missionaries brought an investigator that morning, which made the day even more special.
It wasn't until stake conference six months later that I learned how special that morning really had been. Our stake president had invited a newly baptized couple from our branch to tell the story of their conversion. The sister began: "It was my husband who was really interested in the Church at first. I didn't want to have much to do with it. I couldn't think of an excuse, though, when the sister missionaries asked me to attend a women's meeting with them. I admit, I wasn't too impressed with the building, but when we walked in, there were all these tables covered with white paper and decorated gaily with shamrocks. I thought, Well, if these people are willing to go to so much effort, I guess I can at least listen to their message."
As a result of that morning's activities, this sister opened her heart to the gospel message and was baptized a few weeks later. I understood then that doing our best in Church assignments, even under trying circumstances, can make a real difference in people's lives. Now when I'm faced with a challenge in a Church calling, I remember the shamrocks and the often unseen rewards of magnifying our callings.

I too had a main bettery replaced at 163,000 miles. To my surprise they said the replacement battery warranty is only good for 12000 miles or one year. Cost was $1800 plus a new ecu - $600 something. That seems to me like an awfully short warranty for such an expensive part. I did call
Toyota in Calif. They said that the warranty on the replaced battery is 12 months, but unlimited mileage. Stinks, to me.
Anyway, after going some 35000 miles, I got the main battery warning light again - too late for the warranty, which had expired. I had read somewhere that the main battery warning light would go off if you disconnected the auxilliary battery, which I did. When I hooked it back up, the warning light went off. I have this happen three times recently, and after disconnecting and reconnecting the aux. battery, everythiing works fine - no warning light.

Trustees in National School District officially ended a nearly yearlong impasse with its 354 teachers when they unanimously ratified a three-year contract with the educators' union Wednesday night.
Both parties hammered out a last-minute agreement following a marathon 18-hour negotiating session that ended at 2:30 a.m. Feb. 4 — just hours before what would have been the first teachers strike in San Diego County in 15 years.
It would have been the third teacher walkout in Southern California in less than a year.
The three-year pact calls for four furlough days in each year of the contract; aligning the elementary school district's calendar with the neighboring Sweetwater Union High School District's; and setting class sizes at 22 students in kindergarten through third grade and 33 students in grades four through six for the next two years. If education funding improves, furlough days could be further reduced and class sizes could get smaller.
National City teachers had been working under conditions imposed by the school board in July after the district rejected a nonbinding compromise by an independent mediator. Their contract expired June 30.
Among the disputed issues were the number of furlough days, class sizes, the school calendar, the rate that the union reimburses the district for leaves of absence taken for union business, and how to fill certain vacancies, as well as the length of the agreement.
The union, known formally as the National City Elementary Teachers Association, voted to ratify the contract Feb. 10.
National School District serves 5,800 students at 10 elementary schools in National City. The district also serves 750 preschoolers. The district and teacher's union had previously been at impasses in 2006 and 2008.

Giles Marini and wife Carole treated their kids Georges, 11, and Juliana, 5, to a day at the farmer's market in Studio City, Calif. on Sunday (August 14).
The Sex And The City: The Movie actor and his family shopped and sampled food; Juliana cooled off with a big sno-cone.
In a recent interview Gilles talked about expanding their family. "If we ever have another child, it would absolutely be an adoption," he said. "In my mind, I'm like, 'I have both of my kids. Done. Check. Let's help someone who has no parents. It makes sense.'"
Gilles, who guest-starred on Switched At Birth last week, seemed optimistic about the prospect of adoption. "Let's see what my next two years work-wise are about, and if they're bright, then easily," he continued. "Even kids from the region — there are a lot of orphans in L.A. You'd be surprised."

LONDON (Mar. 5)
Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister, expressed the belief today that peace in the Middle East "is nearer now than it ever was" because of the announced Arab intention to withhold military attack until victory was certain. She told a press conference that while the Arab countries were waiting, Israel was growing stronger "and so attacking Israel becomes a less and less attractive proposition and consequently peace is nearer.
She told representatives of the international, British and Israeli press that israel's massive irrigation project, which will tap the Jordan River, would start "as soon as our engineers tell us the project is completed" which "will be some time in 1964." She also noted that the Arab rulers had warned they would oppose the project by force. She said that "nobody in international relations dared or threatened hitherto to cut off water resources."
Warning that such threats were "tantamount to an attack on one's territory," she expressed the hope that "the Arabs will think better of it. To us it would be something very serious," she stated. She noted that Jordan went ahead with its proposed share of the regional water project developed by the late Eric Johnston as a special emissary of the then President Eisenhower ten years ago, and that Israel made no objections. "If they can do it, why not us?" she asked.
Stressing that the Arabs get ultra-modern arms under more convenient conditions that Israel does, Mrs. Meir said that quality was more important than quantity in the
The friendship between France and the Arab countries in no way affects the deep friendship of the Government and people of France toward Israel, she said. "We never wanted exclusivity. As a matter of fact, we want friendship with the Arabs too, so why should we object to other people being friendly with them?" she stated. As to the Soviet Union, Mrs. Meir said that she herself could see no change in the attitude of the Soviet Union, adding "I wish I did. I know some people do seem to sense a change."
Touching on Israel's efforts to obtain an understanding with the six-nation European Common Market. She said: "Israel's goal was association with but not membership in the Common Market."

A man accused of shooting his estranged wife outside a Jacksonville restaurant was in serious condition Wednesday after deputies in Columbus County allegedly shot him over the weekend, according to hospital officials and previous Daily News reports.
A man accused of shooting his estranged wife outside a Jacksonville restaurant was in serious condition Wednesday after deputies in Columbus County allegedly shot him over the weekend, according to hospital officials and previous Daily News reports.
The wounded suspect, George Reynold Evans, 60, of Richlands Avenue, is accused of shooting a woman at Olive Garden at 1415 Western Blvd. about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, according to previous Daily News reports.
Wednesday afternoon, Evans was in serious condition at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, hospital spokeswoman Erin Balzotti told The Daily News.
Evans had was listed in critical condition shortly after he was taken to the hospital.
Onslow Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Amy Sousa said no information was available about the woman whom Evans allegedly shot on Saturday. Witnesses identified her as Audry Bullard.
By phone Wednesday, Bullard�s low, raspy voice relayed the message that she was not ready to describe the events on Saturday night.
� I really don�t want to talk about it,� she told The Daily News.
A Shallotte attorney announced on Wednesday that he is representing a Columbus County deputy during an investigation into the shooting during Evans� arrest on Sunday, according to a press release from the attorney�s office.
� W. James Payne Law Firm is honored to announce that Mr. Payne has been asked to represent one of the Columbus County sheriff�s deputies involved in the law enforcement action resulting in the shooting of a suspect wanted for attempted first-degree murder on 30 March 2014,� according to a press release by the law firm. �Payne supports the decision of the District Attorney to ask the State Bureau of Investigation to conduct the investigation.
� Although it is unfortunate that an individual was shot, we are confident in the action our client took,� according to the press release. �We are also confident that the District Attorney will make his judgment based upon a complete and thorough investigation by the SBI. Our client did exactly what duty required.�
A high-speed chase preceded Evans� arrest Sunday.
Officers tried to stop the driver along on U.S. 701 south of Whiteville Sunday afternoon, but the chase continued as N.C. Highway Patrol troopers followed him on U.S. 74/76 toward Wilmington, according to previous Daily News reports. The driver eventually stopped on the median and he was shot multiple times, allegedly by officers.

BRAINTREE - Police say officers who stopped a Cambridge man after what looked like a drug deal on Monday found cocaine stuffed into the man's shoe.
Winchel Aubourg, 40, was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
Police said officers in the department's drug unit stopped Aubourg on Monday afternoon after watching him meet briefly with someone in his car while parked behind the Candlewood Suites on Wood Road.

LOS ANGELES: Elizabeth Taylor was the antithesis of today's Hollywood fashion icon, who is eager to be seen as an everywoman. She was always dressed like a movie star: hair done, makeup on and lots of jewelry. Never would you see Taylor in jeans and a T-shirt.
And while she was famous for her Oscars, iconic roles and many husbands, she was most renowned for her beauty — the violet, almond-shaped eyes, creamy skin, pouty lips and raven hair. She died Wednesday at 79 from congestive heart failure.
''She was incredibly beautiful, funny, smart, charming and super-glamorous,'' said designer Michael Kors. ''In today's world, people who combine all of those attributes with a big life in the public eye and a big talent are few and far between. One of a kind means just that — there is just one.''
The public saw her mature from a young curly haired tomboy in ''National Velvet'' to the sultry ''Cleopatra.'' Yet no matter the time, place or role, her glamour was consistent, and that was inspiring to women, even if they could never quite replicate it.
''Every quality that we consider classically beautiful, she had,'' said Amy Keller Laird, beauty director of Allure. ''She was sexy and girlish at once, she had both those qualities all through her life.''
In 1951, Taylor showed off her legendary 19-inch waist in a strapless dress with a bodice top, full tulle skirt and delicate flowers at the neckline designed by Edith Head. InStyle fashion director Hal Rubenstein said the outfit was the ''blueprint for prom dresses of the '50s.''
She had the same influence on lingerie styles after she wore a lace-trimmed slip in ''Butterfield 8.'' And black kohl eyeliner was all the rage after ''Cleopatra.''
Somehow, she even made caftans stylish in the '70s, Rubenstein said with a laugh.
Rubenstein said he had the pleasure of meeting her a few times. ''As a child, she was eerily beautiful — she never had a child's face, and as a woman, she was unmatchably beautiful,'' he said.
In person, the most striking thing about her was her impeccable features, but her broader appeal, the one the world saw in photographs, was her overall glamour, he said.
''When she walked into a room, she just had the most amazing presence about her,'' added designer Elizabeth Emanuel, who is best-known as Princess Diana's wedding dress designer but who also made several looks for Taylor, including caftans. ''She was just incredible.''
The big studios trained her to always step out the door as glamourpuss Elizabeth Taylor: She wore the role of movie star all the time, and she didn't apologize for it.
''She was an incredible beauty and she had an awareness of her own beauty. Even those we think are great beauties today play it down and speak modestly — there's always something they don't like and they apologize for it, but she never did,'' Rubenstein said. ''She was aware of her gifts and truly appreciated them.''
He also noted that Taylor made sure any and all of her suitors, from boyfriends and husbands to reporters, knew that she liked gifts and that she expected them. After all, one of the most important diamonds of all time, a 69-carat stone, was a gift from husband No. 5 and 6, Richard Burton. It is now known as the Taylor-Burton Diamond.
Taylor not only owned many pieces of statement jewelry — unlike today's starlets, who borrow them — but she'd wear them often instead of storing them. That goes back to the movie-star thing.
At the Oscars in 1970, she asked costumer Head to create a gown that would show off her necklace, ending up in a blue gown with a very low V bustline.
''Elizabeth Taylor was a style icon who always followed her own unique and daring fashion vision,'' said Jamie Cadwell, director of the Diamond Information Center, a trade organization. ''Her love of jewelry was unsurpassed, and women everywhere continue to be inspired by her incredible collection.''
In her clothes, Taylor had a preference for draping, said Emanuel.
Her longevity as a style influencer is proven by the longtime success of her fragrance collections launched with Elizabeth Arden. White Diamonds, which followed 1980s-era Passion and was one of the original celebrity perfumes, has been a beauty-counter best-seller for 20 years.
The fragrances will continue, according to a company statement. ''Our best tribute to Elizabeth Taylor will be to continue the legacy of the brands she created and loved so much,'' said chairman and CEO E. Scott Beattie.
''White Diamonds is still one of our readers' favorite fragrances. The fact that hers has stood the test of time, even though every hot celebrity has a fragrance, says a lot about her as a beauty icon,'' said Allure's Laird.

Lonesome till deep into the night
The night gradually becomes desolate
The night gradually becomes dusky
Don't say that you're the one choosing people
People can also choose you
Fairness originally didn't have the least bit of bias
Slowly seeps into my heart
Why complain
About who was the one to once made you infatuated?
You voluntarily kissed goodbye to your sweetheart
A lifetime of tear marks in return of being silly
Wherefore it was clearly grieve and pain
You're still keeping a smile pretending to be happy
Tonight you are pitiful and can be sympathized with
Seeing her leave faraway
Her footprints will forever be printed in my heart
Silly thing is your heart
In the future you are going to regret it endlessly
In this lifetime your heart is full of sorrow and distress

Global Savings-Investment Imbalances: What Role for East Asia?
This paper examines the current path of global imbalances and the role of East Asia in addressing these issues. The roots of the problem are the exploding budget deficit and soaring current account deficit of the United States. The twin deficits are being financed by foreign savings including the placement of the massive foreign exchange reserves of East Asia in U.S. dollar-denominated debt, such as U.S. Treasury notes. Solving the imbalances will require corrections of internal and external imbalances by both the United States and its trading partners. How East Asia deploys its reserves could set off a tsunami of sales of dollar-based assets that could disrupt the U.S. and global economy. Sharp exchange rate adjustments (particularly a large fall in the U.S. dollar), and a protectionist backlash against the U.S. current account deficit, are in no one's interest as they could trigger global shocks.

La propriété intellectuelle dans les biotechnologies agricoles : quels enjeux pour quelles perspectives ?
Within the framework of agricultural biotechnologies, there was an evolution of the intellectual property rights: the implementation of the patents on living organism, the evolution of the legislation on the Plant breeder's right from the Union for the Protection of plant varieties, or the implementation of intellectual property rights at a world level within the framework of Trips agreements (Article 27/3 B.) of WTO. In this context of evolutionary intellectual property rights, the markets of the agricultural genetic resources are based on goods and services related to the management of agro biodiversity. The markets related to the genetic resources will depend on the way in which the actors will jointly reach: technologies; biological and genetic material; information and knowledge as well on the material as on technologies; agricultural markets that it is on a local, national, regional or world level. This is why in this paper we will analyze, whatever the statute of the genetic resources is, the conditions of access to the biological materials, the innovations and the markets and their consequences on the activities of research and development in the field of agricultural biotechnologies.

Democrats, Republicans Fight for Control of the House
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: The big election and where things stand as of tonight. We begin with the House, and to Margaret Warner.
MARGARET WARNER: To win control of the House, Democrats need a net gain of 15 seats currently held by Republicans. For the latest assessment of the House race landscape, we're joined by Amy Walter, senior editor of the Cook Political Report.
Amy, the Democrats have been on the offense pretty much throughout this season. How does it look now on the eve of the election?
AMY WALTER, The Cook Political Report: Well, you're quite correct, Margaret, that this has been almost exclusively an offensive operation by Democrats. They have very few of their own seats in danger, and they've put something like 50 seats, maybe a couple more, held by Republicans in play.
I think, going into this election tomorrow night, it still looks as if Democrats are going to make significant gains, certainly more than the 15 they would need to pick up control of Congress. It's just a question of how big this wave looks on election night, and that we don't quite know yet.
But looking at the overall playing field, looking at where these seats sit right now, the polls, it looks like we're going to see at least 20 seats, maybe significantly more, up to 30.
Democrats in the House races
MARGARET WARNER: Now, there are a couple of new national polls out that show that the Democrats lead in the so-called generic question -- who would you like to see take control of Congress -- has narrowed, in some polls significantly. Are you seeing that reflected in any House races, ones that looked competitive which have fallen back to the uncompetitive category?
AMY WALTER: Well, it's really important that we put these generic ballot questions in context. There were two polls in particular that showed a significant tightening, but there were a number of other national polls that still show Democrats with a significant lead. If you average them all, it's about a Democratic lead of something like 11 points on the generic, still a very significant lead for any party.
Where this impacts certain races -- if, in fact, what we are seeing with the tightening is that Republican voters are coming home, so to speak, that those Republicans who were sort of sitting out there not sure what they were going to do in this election, hadn't committed to the Democrat but still hadn't committed to the Republican, those folks may go home.
So in some of the very Republican, Republican-heavy districts where Democrats have been playing, those seats might be tougher for Democrats tomorrow night, but in so many of these districts, especially in the Northeast and Midwest, where independents really reign, I think that still makes things very tough for Republicans.
MARGARET WARNER: So if we take the 15 magic number as our benchmark, how many seats do even Republicans concede are pretty much lost versus how many remain toss-ups?
AMY WALTER: Right. Well, I think that you're looking at something like eight, 10 to 12 seats that we can quibble about. Those seats are the ones that Republicans are probably going to lose right now. Let's put it at 10 to 12. Then you have another 30 or so that are on the bubble. And how many of those break is the key.
MARGARET WARNER: So what will you be looking at early in the evening?
AMY WALTER: Here's what I'm looking for. The two bellwether states, Indiana and Kentucky, because their polls close the earliest. In Kentucky, I'm especially going to look at Anne Northrop's seat in Louisville. This is a Republican incumbent who sits in a Democratic-leaning district. She's held on for years because she runs such smart, aggressive campaigns.
This year, she's running against a political environment like she's never seen. If she loses, that's going to signify that Democrats are likely to gain on the higher end, probably in the 28-to-35 range.
Key states
MARGARET WARNER: Now, people have also pointed to a number of states right on the East Coast, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania. How key are they?
AMY WALTER: Those are very important to look at, too. Pennsylvania, I'm going to look at the Pennsylvania suburbs. They've been a bellwether here for the entire election cycle. I'm going to look at somebody like Mike Fitzpatrick in Bucks County, suburban area around Philadelphia. This is another race that should be -- if we just went candidate versus candidate, I think Fitzpatrick would have an edge, but in a wave, he gets wiped out.
I'm also going to look in New York, a place where not too long ago Republicans and even Democrats had said, "Well, maybe we're not going to make the going to make the gains there that we thought we were going to be able to make." Right now, it looks as if Democrats -- right now Democrats have put three seats in play. If they pick up three or more, you're going to, again, look at a big, big night for Democrats.
MARGARET WARNER: All right, well -- go ahead, quickly.
AMY WALTER: No, I was just going to say, very quickly. On the other hand, if we see that in some of these states Democrats are not picking up all of those seats, it's not going to necessarily signify that Democrats aren't winning control, just that they're going to get on the lower end.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. And we're going to hear more about Pennsylvania in just a minute. Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report, thanks.
MARGARET WARNER: Thanks, Margaret.

As 2014 marks the 25th anniversay of the acquisition of Shorts Brothers PLC by Bombardier the company's annual accounts show a solid overall performance.
Accounts filed last week showed Bombardier Belfast recording an operating profit of $81.6 million (approximately £50m) equating to nine per cent of turnover compared to previous year figures of $65.3 million (approximately £40m) which was 8.4 per cent of turnover.
Short Brothers plc Chairman, Ken Brundle said that despite the "encouraging signs in the global economy" 2013 was a challenging year for the company.
He added: "Bombardier gave a solid performance overall, maintaining a good order backlog whilst continuing its on-going major investments in new aircraft programmes. Our Belfast business reflected the slow pace of recovery in some markets, such as the smaller business jet market, but good progress was maintained in the larger business and commercial jet segments. Our new wing facility, which is part of the overall £520 million investment in Belfast in the CSeries aircraft programme, was opened officially in October and it is a truly world-class facility and has been certified to Gold level in the international Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system (LEED®) which is the foremost international programme for buildings designed, constructed, and operated for improved environmental and health performance."

Weiner still has not filed a complaint
We're now in the media camp out phase of Weinergate. Today, a medium to large sized gaggle of media photographers and videographers are loitering around outside Rep. Anthony Weiner's Capitol Hill office, obviously hoping to get him to say something about the story that has dogged him since Friday night. Weiner emerged earlier to try to get them to leave, by talking up Wednesday's interviews he did with five networks. The gaggle apparently didn't budge. As long as he won't answer the question of whether that's him in the photo or not, they're not likely to leave until editors just get tired of this story. I'm already there -- pretty tired of it. But Weiner is now counting on wiener fatigue to get him out of the mess.
All that business of theories and counter theories last night got a whole lot of bloggers lost in the weeds, so it's probably a good idea to get back to the facts. The fact is, though Weiner has alternately claimed that he was "hacked" or that the lewd photo was a "prank," he has filed no official complaint to trigger a police investigation. That's significant: Filing a complain one knows to be false puts the complainer in legal jeopardy. Rather than file a complaint to look into the alleged hacking of a sitting congressman, Weiner has lawyered up and hired private investigators to look into the "hacking." Unlike the police or FBI, Weiner will control where the private detectives are allowed to search for evidence. They may or may not find anything interesting, but Weiner can control not only what they find but what they publicly release. This has all the appearances of a smoke screen, as someone as intelligent as Weiner surely knows. Yet he has chosen this course of action anyway.
The FBI has told Fox News that, should Weiner file a complaint with them, they could probably clear everything up "in five minutes." For some reason, Weiner evidently doesn't want them to do that. I'm not mind reading here -- he hasn't filed the complaint that would trigger their five minute investigation, ergo, he doesn't want the FBI to clear it up. Everyone who is defending Weiner and coming up with grand scenarios and conspiracies should answer this basic question about Weiner's decision not to file an official complaint: Why?
To me, the simplest explanation remains that Weiner accidentally sent the photo himself. He fears lying about whether that's him in the photo or not because he is aware that there are other similar photos out there. Or, alternately, someone knows that that is him and there will be dire consequences if he publicly lies about it. He is lying about sending it out himself because he thinks he can get away with that much (he was alone when he sent it, probably explains that). This all may turn out to be wrong, but it is where all the evidence is pointing, and has pointed since this whole sorry saga began.

Da Silva four clear in South Africa
Golf:England's John Parry fell short of wresting the clubhouse lead from Brazilian Adilson Da Silva despite shooting a six-under-par 66 on day two of the Africa Open.
Da Silva began the day one shot behind overnight leader Jaco Van Zyl but, resuming on the 10th hole after strong winds on the East London course had forced an early end to yesterday's play, stormed into a four-shot lead by completing a sparkling 10-under-par 62.
A Sunshine Tour regular, Da Silva then carded birdies on the 10th, 13th and 15th holes on a back nine which also included a bogey on the 11th before pulling two shots back on the return to sign for a four-under-par 68, which saw him finish the day 14 under and three strokes clear of Van Zyl atop the leaderboard.
Da Silva acknowledged he had been helped by the draw, with meant he had avoided the worst of the heavy gusts his rivals had to deal with.
"I got a good break yesterday, it was extremely hard out there for the morning field, and then I got the break and I just started making some putts.
"I somehow just felt the pace, and my caddie and I are reading the greens very well.
"My putting has been letting me down lately, and it just came alive. I must have had 23, 24 putts, which must make it my best round in putting. I was averaging 32 putts a round in Asia last year."
Van Zyl teed off in the afternoon to reclaim second spot from fellow South African Darren Fichardt when he completed a round of 67, but Parry stayed in touch by picking up five shots on the back nine to finish the day in third place.
The 26-year-old from Harrogate leads Fichardt and his compatriot Oliver Bekker, who both registered 67s, with the latter boosted by two eagles on the front nine.
Portugal's Ricardo Santos and Frenchman Gregory Bourdy took a share of sixth place with rounds of 66 and 67 respectively, while Ireland's David Higgins posted a 68 to share eighth spot with Chilean Mark Tullo (69) and South African Tjaart van der Walt (68).
Gareth Maybin missed the cut by a shot after bogeying his last three holes to card a one-under 71 and finish on one over.
The Ulsterman had made three birdies on his back nine - on the first, fourth and sixth – to move to two under, but faltered in sight of the clubhouse as his involvement in the tournament ended.
Damien McGrane also missed out after he could only manage a level-par 72 to leave him on three over.

Open Source Systems Driver Standards
What the hobbyist community needs are open source modular active and passive speaker systems and encliosures. What do I mean by this?
The commnunity agrees on certain aspects of say a 3way or 2 way system. Suppose we settle on a 3 way system. We then standardize on particular crossover frequencies. Then we standardize on baffle widths or modules on each driver. Based on this, baffle step diffraction etc can be a standard accomodation.
So thus we can have different active or passive crossovers that conform to a standard or behavior. We can also then integrate crossovers/gainclones into a single active section.
Confused yet?
Well the biggest aspect is that from this speaker manufacturer will then design drivers themselves that "fit" this standard. What's the benefit? I build an open standard system and want to change a midrange. Today, that's a tedious process with a total redesign of the crossover and possibly enclosure whenever I want to change a driver. With an open standard, I just drop it in and see optimize a little. I really get to hear the driver itself and not a subtoptimal enclsoure and crossover.
Take a woofer enclosure for example, everytime I change the driver, I need to make a new enclosure unless I am lucky. How about manufacturers making a class of drivers that are able to give a standard alignment within a say 150liters. or giving us a "standard" midrange that can operate between 400Hz and 3,000 Hz? With impedance curves that try to match the standard as best they can?
Does anyone get the idea?
For some it may appear that it takes some "fun" away. However, i view it differently. It will introduce/invite many more enthusiasts into the hobby. In a similar fashion to how you assemble a PC. You have an ATX, BTX or micro ATX system, and you have components, GPUs and MBs that conform and plug in. This would spawn an industry where tweeter enclosure, midrange and woofer enclsures can be sold and interchanged, similar for crossovers etc.
For too long, we have seen manufacturers make a product and hobbyists "try" to fit them in. Reverse the situation and watch the industry take off!

Sounds like an interesting idea but heres a better solution.
The company provides with this modular system a Behringer (sp??) digital active xover, then whenever you decide to purchase a new driver it comes with a file that you update the xover with. The company would have already built every permutation of speaker and designed a good xover for each combination of drive units, thus can supply you with the xover you need for the new driver change.
See the problem with this is you cannot just swap and change drivers as you wish. If the manufactures altered the drivers so that they worked all with the same xover then they would compromise the performance elsewhere I would imagine.
The situation where this would be good for me would say be to use a poly cone from Skaaning, a paper from scanspeak and a metal from seas and see which one I prefer. Due to the completely different nature of metal cones to paper/poly a stock xover is simply out of the question.
Paper and poly cones have the advantage of controlled break up so you can xover them higher to a tweeter, this would inturn allow a higher xover further away from the critical 1-3khz region and also maybe allow for a 3/4" tweeter with superior dispersion over a 1". Now that is the so called "advantage" of a poly/paper driver.
But a metal cone, due to the resonance, has to be (in most cases) xovered to a 1" tweeter as low as the tweeter can take it. The advantage here is zero break up through the midrange which some people really like the sound of.
Now there is no way you could show off the different materials/drivers, to their best for a good comparison if you had to compromise each so you could swap out one driver for another.
What the hell are you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's a bomb or somethin'! I'm leavin! bzzzz! Now with website! www.5een.co.uk under construction.

Now keep in mind that this NOT to produce a ho holds barred system. This is to make it a convenience to a sector of consumers that have limited resources to make boxes, crossovers etc and don't want to produce a "whole" new project each time an upgrade is desired. There will be tradeoffs but imagine the flexibility! If you wanted to slip in a metal cone driver and need some suckout filters to control ringing, include it as part of the driver but make it so as the load seen by the standard crossover is constant. So drivers that have severe peaking already come with filter elements to control that.
Again I go back to the PC as an analogue, it would be inconcevable to have to redesign a computer each time a new GPU is conceived. Just imagine the amount of experimentation that would take place if things were more interchangeable. The Woofer issue is a good one. Standard enclosure kits by a host of different vendors can be made for a 150liter class enclosure. Now let's have manufacturers make drivers to fit that category. There are many of us with very limited woodworking resources/workshops though we love to experiment!

If you are drawing up a fair comparison here then the loudspeaker would not constitute the whole computer but a single part of it. The computer on its own accomplishes a task, a loudspeaker on its own is like a car without petrol, a useless waste of space.
A pair of loudspeakers, a CD player and an amplifier would represent a computer.
I know thats not what this post is about and your using the computer as an example to help describe what you are saying. I too think its a good idea but unfortunately will never happen because its (I would imagine) a hugely unprofitable thing to do.

I guess it takes a standards committee to develop such a thing and even then it would take an industry leader with some vision so do such. In the speaker biz, there is none and there's no clear leader.
It's clear that driver manufacturing is geared towards OEM business and when you think about the complexity of putting a decent crossover/box together, it's no wonder that the retail side is minor. As many can attest to many amateur speaker building projects end up being white elephants. Is there a market that likes to swap? sure there is, just look at the automotive sector and wonder why it's a profitable one. Imagine a manufacturer making drivers that did not use 4", 5 1/4, 6 1/2 etc cutouts.
Ever heard of a saying about a "frog in a well only sees the sky as the world"? or something to that effect? Theat's the speaker biz.

If you've watched much TV, you've likely seen one of Mastercard's very successful "Priceless" commercials—and honestly, I think I've liked every one I've seen. My absolute favorite though, stars NFL quarterback Peyton Manning from the Indianapolis Colts. Unlike most of us, he typically has 80,000 fans cheering him on at work as he plays the game of football.
So in the commercial, Manning is cheering on his fans at their day to day job, which includes a visit to the supermarket deli and an enthusiastic Manning cheering the meat slicer: "chop that meat, chop that meat." Anyway, it always makes me want to watch football. And you have to give the Mastercard marketer's some "credit," because they take an innately negative idea, like incurring debt, and then admittedly turn into this feel good experience—a priceless moment.
During an interview in 2006, celebrating almost a decade's success of Mastercard's "Priceless" campaign, one of the ad's creators spoke of one commercial he was particularly proud of titled "Cardboard Box." He said, "in the ad there's only one person, and it's this little, adorable, 3-year-old child. The whole commercial all you see is this kid playing with a cardboard box and a voice talking about the cost of three very popular yet expensive toddler Christmas gifts. The implied message of course that Mastercard will help you buy all of these wonderful toys for the three-year old. The add concludes, "watching her play with the cardboard box instead, priceless… There's some things in life that money can't buy, for everything else, there's Mastercard."
In the interview the marketer quipps, "The little girl didn't want the things, the toys—she wanted the experience of what the thing was about." And so after watching that commercial, after finding the little girl SOO adorable, what do most people feel like doing? Buying our kids toys. And what amazes me is that in every one of these commercials, the marketers actually tell us what is really important: "the things that money can't buy," YET, because the marketer's admittedly make us feel so good watching that priceless moment, the commercial psychologically conditions us, almost compels us to consume. So if as a nation in 2009, each US household held an average of $8,300 in outstanding credit card debt, we must be living some truly "priceless" moments by Mastercards standards.
And yet we know this isn't true. Because across this country right now, there are 14 million US Americans unemployed and 40 million living in poverty. And still as reported by the World Watch Institute, the United States, with less than 5 % of the global population, consumes a quarter of the world's fossil fuels—their calculations show that the planet only has available 4.7 acres per person of biologically productive land to supply resources and absorb wastes—yet the average person on Earth already uses 5.7 acres worth—an entire acre more than the earth can sustain.
These "ecological footprints" range from 1 acre used by the average Ethiopian to the astounding 24 acres claimed by the average US citizen. Because as a country for hundreds of years, and even hundreds more as a Euro-colonial empire, we have run an ecologically, culturally and even morally bankrupt credit card bill at the expense of God's creation, including millions of displaced or destroyed indigenous peoples, cultures and species. It makes one wonder what kind of credit card bill the earth would issue humanity today!?
Yet these statistics are probably not new to most of you and they can easily become either mind-numbing numbers that we painfully try to tune out, or just an even greater burden to the average $38,000 debt that new ELCA pastors are beginning ministry with. It can all be overwhelming news and can certainly leave us crippled, as Paul states, to a "spirit of slavery resulting in us falling back into fear." Yet Paul's full letter proclaims a different message—a hopeful message.
Paul reminds us that these words, "Abba, Father" echo the words of the very one, who stood at the crossroads of creation's redemption—Jesus our Christ—feeling overwhelmed—Jesus feeling unprepared—Jesus being frightened—Jesus, one who wished the challenges ahead of him were not so difficult. The Gospel of Mark tells of Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane, sharing with his disciples that he was "deeply grieved, even to death."
He prayed, "Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet not what I want, but what you want." And in a selfless giving moment, Jesus offered a redemptive love that no amount of money could buy. In that moment, Jesus denies anything a Mastercard, Visa or Amercian Express could buy him and accepts his death on the cross, forgiving with his love and his life, the entire debt of humanity. In that moment Jesus breaks through the spirit of slavery, and ushers in a radical spirit of adoption—Jesus offers an adoption, but one of humanity into the rest of creation. It is in this moment which Christ pays every debt and redeems not only humanity, but all of creation "priceless."
Paul continues, "So when we cry, 'Abba!* Father!' 16it is that very Spirit of adoption, bearing witness* with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. So we shall not fall back into fear," even when facing an at times overwhelming reality. This is a reality that Brazilian martyr Chico Mendez understood. In 1985 forming a national union for his profession of rubber tappers, Mendez organized peaceful protests to stand in the way of ranchers who were burning, logging and clearing the Amazon rainforest trees which were his people's livelihood and their home.
In an interview he said that he understood that the Amazon could not be turned into an untouchable sanctuary. However he also understood that there was an urgent need to avoid the clear cutting that was threatening the entire Amazon and thereby the life of the planet. With threats on his life, he chose to not fall back into fear and on Christmas Eve 1988, Chico Mendez was murdered at the age of 45. Immediately though his murder raised international headlines and outrage, and resulted in the creation of the twenty-one current rainforest preserves, more than 8 million acres, and an amount greater than what he had initially proposed be saved.
In the spirit of Christ, visibly seen in the sacrifice of Chico Mendes, Paul urges us all "to receive the spirit of adoption." And God invites us all to cry out in our fear, to cry out in our worry and pain, 'Abba'! Father! Mother! Holy Creator!!! Forgive our debts and our sins, those against your creation, and those against one another. Let us remember that every friend, every stranger, every creature on the earth is a redeemed and priceless part of your creation.
Seeking forgiveness we approach the font, humbly but confidently crossing our foreheads with the baptismal waters and remembering that Christ has paid all of our debts, and that in that moment, and every moment we feel the wet touch of water, that we are redeemed by God as "priceless." For through the cleansing waters of baptism God promised our adoption into this holy and sacred creation, and God has filled each of us with the Holy Spirit. The very Holy Spirit which fuels our hope and gives us the strength to answer the call of this groaning world.
Lutheran ecologist and theologian Joseph Sitler wrote "when the world is received as a gift, a grace, an ever astounding wonder, it can then be rightly enjoyed and justly used." It is to this call that Paul refers. It is to this call that Christ beckons. "For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God." We are those children! It is you and me, and the members of our congregations and communities. And God is calling for us to receive this world as a gift, as a grace.
God is calling through faithful Lutheran voices like H. Paul Santimire who has been a leader in ecological theology for more than 35 years and who will address this community tonight about why the Christian faith is not, and can not be ecologically bankrupt. God is calling us to accept that we have been claimed priceless along with creation—calling us to recognize that the true gift isn't the wasting of resources, time, and money buying 2010's best toddler gifts or anything else that a Mastercard can allow us to buy, but instead it's enjoying every priceless moment with that child of God, and then teaching them how to care for God's abundant creation.
As leaders of this church there is so much we can do! God is calling us to make creation an integral part of our worship services showing that we are not set-apart, but rather just a part of God's beautiful creation. At Sunday school forums to continue teaching and raising awareness through guest speakers, by using the ELCA's social statement or even LSTC's Web of Creation website which informs us about what we can do to take better care of the earth; by making our congregations models of green living, and to invite other community organizations, businesses and civil authorities to join us in doing the same.
For even if the challenges ahead of us look too overwhelming, God has walked and continues to walk with us through our fear, and God will always strengthen our faith, with Paul reminding us "that in hope we were saved." And so we can hope!!, and thus answer God's call to work towards what God has already promised, remembering that through Christ we are all redeemed priceless and freed to go forth in confidence, following God's call to preach, teach and serve in both small and great ways, until the hope that is yet to come is seen, the full and complete redemption of all of God's priceless creation.
Romans 8:12-25

There was a time when a teaser trailer announced a game to the world, but that's not the case with Batman: Arkham Origins. As the third installment in one of the highest-rated franchises of this console generation, details couldn't come soon enough – who would Batman be fighting? Where would he be fighting them? What with? By now, all those questions have been answered.
If comic book fans weren't already excited to see what the newly-founded WB Games Montreal would do with the license, the new teaser should see to that. Boasting cinematic CG action between Batman and Deathstroke, there's no question that everything needed to make Arkham Origins a worthwhile experience is in place; if the game can match the trailer, fans will be in luck.
We generally warn against placing too much importance in a game's cinematic trailers, but in this case, comic book fans will have trouble resisting the temptation. We knew from the previously released screenshots that the developers' new take on Deathstroke's appearance was going to be a memorable one, but the trailer proves that whatever material his mask is made of, his targets won't have long to enjoy the view.
Unfortunately, this furious look at combat between Deathstroke the Terminator and Batman doesn't show much beyond the snowy Christmas Eve setting, the decision to retain the dark, more realistic style made famous by Rocksteady, and that Batman is still a strong enough fighter to knock anyone flat on their back. In fact, given everything the developers have claimed about the stories inspiring Origins, perhaps he's a little too potent in combat.
Besides pulling inspiration from the "Legends of the Dark Knight" comic series – chronicling Batman's encounters with some of DC's most infamous villains – WB Montreal has placed plenty of emphasis on their decision to set the game much earlier in Batman's career than either Asylum or City.
With a younger and less experienced caped crusader, the theory goes, the assassins converging on Gotham City would offer an even more challenging fight. But from this trailer, Bruce Wayne certainly looks as old as ever, and as anyone can see, seems just as proficient in combat.
That may not be a bad thing (besides undercutting one of the major justifications for a new voice actor), since keeping lock-step with Rocksteady's award-winning and crowd-pleasing design is a wise move; but for fans hoping to see the game chart a different course, we may have some bad news. The developers still possess the pedigree to surprise fans in terms of gameplay, but where the style and cinematic feel are concerned, this teaser proves we're still in Arkham country.
Does this teaser do its job, and get you even more excited for the villains and style of Origins? Or are you no longer swayed by a CG trailer? Leave us your thoughts in the comments.
Batman: Arkham Origins will be available on Wii U, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC October 25, 2013.
