Early this year Thomas Nelson released the book Real Marriage: The Truth About Sex, Friendship and Life Together by Mark and Grace Driscoll. The book immediately became a best seller as well as a topic of spirited conversation and debate. Some loved it and others hated it. Few, however, were neutral in their opinion, regardless of whether they had read the book. I was asked, along with my wife Charlotte, to read the book before publication and consider providing an endorsement. We read it and, after talking it over, agreed to give a "qualified" endorsement as long as none of the wording was changed. That request was honored and so the endorsement appears as follows:
"Real Marriage is brutally and sometimes painfully honest. Further, it is frank and direct in addressing a number of important marital issues. Sometimes you probably will feel uncomfortable. And, you may not agree with everything Grace and Mark Driscoll say. We didn't. However, this is a book we will gladly use and recommend to others who care about healthy, biblical marriages. We believe both husbands and wives will be blessed by and benefit from its content. Grace and Mark are to be commended for writing a book that bares their souls and, more importantly, points to the redeeming power of the gospel in the sacred covenant called marriage."
A few of my friends have asked me a couple of questions: 1) Why did you endorse the book knowing, or at least suspecting, it could be controversial? 2) Exactly what is it that you disagree with in the book? Those are fair and good questions and so let me respond to both.
First, why did we endorse the book? We did so because we believe it powerfully demonstrates the redeeming power of the gospel in healing broken and troubled marriages. Opening chapters such as "Friends with Benefits" (ch. 3), "Men and Marriage" (ch. 4) and "The Respectful Wife" (ch. 5) would be helpful and valuable to anyone seeking a biblical framework for their marriage The book is clear in its complementarian understanding of what the Bible teaches about gender roles, and it affirms that God ordained only heterosexual, monogamous sex within the covenant of marriage. Mark and Grace also are brutally honest about the baggage they brought into their marriage, but then testify to how God has brought wholeness, joy and blessing as they confessed and repented of sin, sought and extended forgiveness, and more faithfully embraced God's role assignment for a husband and a wife. I strongly suspect thousands of couples will be helped and given hope for their own marriages, especially if they have walked a path similar to Mark or Grace.
We also thought the chapter on Sex as God's gift (ch. 6) and the chapter on the dangers and destructive nature of pornography (ch. 8) were valuable and well done. I could go on but let me simply say that we found a great deal of good in the book and believed and still believe it will help many couples find fulfillment in their marriages and glorify God in the process.
Second, exactly what do you disagree with in the book? There are several things I can share here and I am glad to do so. I am also thankful that as I share where I disagree with my friend Mark, I know he will receive it from a brother who loves him, and that it will not harm or negatively impact our friendship one wit! This is how Christian brothers and sisters should relate to each other.
Mark's "vision" of seeing sexual sin makes me very uncomfortable. I am not sure what to make of it, and it concerns me that he seems to have these revelations in an ongoing kind of way. I have never had such a vision first of all. I acknowledge that may say something about me. Further, I am not sure there is any real value in sharing things like this in a public venue, even if they are true. Some things are often best left unsaid. I believe that is the case here.
It is also the case, and I doubt anyone will be surprised here, that I am in disagreement with sections of the (in)famous chapter 10 entitled, "Can We ______?" Now to be honest and fair, this chapter overall has more good than bad. In fact I believe most of it is good. The documentation and research is solid. And, I appreciate Mark and Grace tackling tough issues. Someone needs to. As someone who has conducted hundreds of seminars on marriage and family in the past 20 years, I have been asked about almost all of the issues that the Driscoll's address. In my research for my book God on Sex, a popular treatment of the Song of Solomon, these issues repeatedly came up. I chose to address them in a much different way than Mark and Grace, and in most instances did not address them at all. Again, someone needs to, and I appreciate Mark and Grace taking the risk even if I disagree with some of their conclusions.
Let me begin by saying I think their taxonomy is too narrow in answering the question, "Can We ______?" In addition to: 1) Is it lawful? 2) Is it permissible? 3) Is it enslaving?, I would add 4) Is it loving? 5) Is it glorifying to God with my body? 6) Will it bless and build up my mate? 7) Does it glorify God? Further, I believe natural theology is very helpful, especially when dealing with the issue that has caused the most controversy, the issue of anal sex (An issue that receives all of 2 ½ pages in a book of 249 pages). Taken as a whole, even if one does not think there is a chapter and verse that specifically addresses this issue (some would argue Romans 1:18ff does), the weight of the biblical witness would speak against engaging in this activity. Now, to be fair to the Driscoll's they conclude their treatment of this issue with the following: "As a general rule, unless both the husband and wife want to attempt it and can do so without pain, shame, or harm, this should not be done. Unless both of you have a clear conscience about the matter, it is unwise to engage in this act" (p. 189, emp. mine).
Concerning other issues addressed in chapter 10, I am willing to grant more liberty and freedom for creativity within a heterosexual, monogamous marriage. My understanding of the Song of Solomon and Hebrews 13:4 are my guides at this point, as well as my expanded taxonomy noted above.
In conclusion this is certainly not a perfect book and Grace and Mark say this at the very beginning (p. xi). There is only one perfect book and we all know which one that is! However, Charlotte and I think Real Marriage is a book that will help many in spite of certain flaws. I was asked the other day in light of all the controversy surrounding the book would I endorse it again? The answer is, yes I would. I am already hearing from those who are being helped by the book as they pursue a God glorifying marriage. For that we should all give thanks, whether we are a fan of the book or not.
Thanks for the explanation, Mr. Akin. I wonder if Pastor Mark would edit the "Can We _____?" chapter in any future editions.
Dr. Akin,
Thank you for the helpful review. I was personally uncertain whether it was worth my time to read given the controversy, given that there are other books on the subject. You have helped me to make an informed decision.
Second, not just to blow smoke, but this is at least the second time you have publicly endorsed Driscoll, that I've read or heard, the last at a conference on campus. I applaud your courage to speak given the opposition you faced then and may face again for these very words. Thank you for being an example of courage and of Christian congeniality.
With much love and respect,
God is not giving anyone visions of a pornographic nature. Anybody who claims this is not fit for any position of leadership. Anybody who continues to skate around the issue as Akin continues to do is not fit for leadership. We need men and women willing to call out the lies of Satan. GOD DOES NOT GIVE ANYBODY VISIONS OF A PORNOGRAPHIC NATURE.
As an A29 planter and proud SEBTS grad, I am always encouraged to see you and Mark's passion for Gospel-centrality in every aspect of life (including the bedroom). The fact is, and was well stated, someone better address the issue with boldness because our generation is grossly saturated with open sexual exploration/exploitation. Thanks again for taking the time to enter the arena of controversial dialogue.
I wonder if I had a glass of water that contained 98% water and 2% poison if Dr. Aiken would still recommend I drink it. Probably not. The bad in this book far outweighs any benefit one might receive from it. There are plenty of other good resources addressing these issues out there — including Aiken's own book. I'll use those and not recommend them instead.
As a pastor for 38 years and a trained counselor, I want to say I am very disappointed in Mark's book and the endorsement. Pastors are not trained to give the kind of extrabiblical advice which he has given. This "counsel" comes out of a dysfunctional background and an unsatisfied lust (not the Bible or professional counseling). According to James it is never satisfied. So the next generation will find themselves following this advice to be soon burnt-out. Truth mixed with error is a trap and it is deadly.
Deb, your statements about the authority of leadership concerning Dr. Akin and Mark Driscoll unwarranted. I do not believe Dr. Akin skipped around the issue, in fact, if I read it correctly, it stated that he disagreed with that principle and it concerned him. If you have an issue with the doctrine of Mark Driscoll, that should be taken up with him and not Dr. Akin. As a former student of the Seminary and in Dr. Akin's class, I can tell you that there is not another more gracious, compassionate, God-fearing, man of integrity I have ever met. Please refrain from your attacks on a public forum and sign your full name with e-mail so you can engage in a private dialogue.
Dr Akin, thank you for your service to King Jesus and I am honored to share in His mission alongside of you.
deb, your comment is absurd. Dr. Akin is hardly skirting around any tough issues and the way you are talking about both of these men makes it evident that you are hardly qualified to determine who is "fit for leadership." I understand you may have concerns with the book, but that doesn't mean you can judge someone's character based off of one thing that makes you uncomfortable.
Nobody can claim to be serving King Jesus who is too cowardly to stand up for the integrity of God. This isn't about some obscure doctrine. You either stand with God or against Him. You stand clearly against Him when you will not defend Him against attacks against His nature.
With that type of idiotic logic you could never recommend a book in which you disagree with 2% of it?
You might as well not read or recommend anyone!
Ignore the trolling.
For those of you less tech savvy people this means: ignore the people who just post comments to start flame wars.
These people wish to throw out public insults with the hopes of getting under people's skin. Notice also, their comments hold no weight of logic, discernment, or righteousness. But instead are so full of religious egotism, blinded by the log in their eye, that they must tell everyone else what they are doing wrong.
So lets pleasantly look over these comments as though they are not there in the first place. They offer no real help, no real attempts at sanctification, and no accountability; since they hid behind their lack of full names and email – not to mention they apparently don't read the Bible as a whole (See 1 Corinthians 5 for judging within the church and Matthew 18:15-20 for church discipline).
I'm not saying you can't disagree, but do it biblical. Don't whine – your argument becomes invalid when you act like a dripping faucet. Instead, word your disagreement on the level and respect equal to that of Akin's review. If you can't, then don't post. If you do post, it will be ignored…hopefully.
-The End
If Deb wants to talk about moralism being the center of the Christian message, then she's right! Thank God it's not the center…Jesus and His saving work is! Love (and Grace) covers a multitude of sins, which I might add is the main point of Real Marriage as I understand it. Thank you for honesty, boldness and humility Dr. Akin.
Dr. Akin,
Thank you for the review of the Driscoll's book. I appreciate your honesty and openness in addressing the difficult topics of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, Biblical Marriage, Sexuality. In our culture it is difficult to discern how all of those elements are designed to glorify God. Your treatment of this work was very fair and even. Personally, I have a few concerns that some of Pastor Mark's previous writings and statements are perhaps too controversial, and this book is no exception.
As for your comment about their being only one perfect book, I agree completely. I love the Bible and believe it is the infallible, inerrant Word of God. Yet, there are still things within its pages that I have not yet grasped, understand, and with all honesty, struggle with. That isn't to say that I do not accept those things in Scripture but rather that I refuse to believe I have it all in good order. But that is not a negative thing. I doubt anyone can with a clear conscience state that they understand the whole of Christian Scripture in lucid detail.
Some have said that if there is any "poison" you should not recommend drinking it when referring to this endorsement. This analogy is deficient. The Bible itself is can be poison IF AND WHEN one does not interpret, apply, and live Scripture faithfully. How many cults have started from erred doctrine? How many lives are crippled by pharisaic legalism? How many people wonder in the gulf of uncertainty in life due to sins unconfessed and unrepented of?
When we read the Scriptures and pursue the God who gave us those Scriptures, we are pushed on by God's own grace and faithfulness. Knowing this, and that we are fallible and in need of much grace, it is imperative that we show grace towards others, especially to those we disagree with. You have done that once again in an exemplary fashion. You are consistently a peacemaker with your brethren and I thank you for your commitment to not only orthodox beliefs but also the right heart and right application of those beliefs.
A proud SEBTS student,
Mr. Akin, Christ is Risen! Thanks for writing this.
I find it amazing that people even write about whether or not Scripture allows for consensual anal sex between heterosexuals. I mean… come on. Really? Obviously the Bible never approaches that question in any semi-clear fashion. So anything we can write about the topic from a biblical perspective is pure conjecture. It is practically pointless except for the fact that so many Christians like to make up rules and say they are God's rules, like the Pharisees loved to do, and then other Christians need to come along to shoot those rules down.
Indeed, I find so much teaching about sex from Scripture to be pure conjecture at best and often deceit at worse. For instance, the Mosaic Law never prohibited or even punished sex before marriage despite that it very clearly prohibited sins ranging like adultery, sex during menstruation, incest, and bestiality. Some authors tell us that girls were killed for being non-virgins in the Old Testament. However, in Deuteronomy 22:20-21 the punishment is for misleading her husband about the state of her virginity, not for premarital sex. There were marriages involving non-virgins who were honest about their loss before the wedding night. Honest girls were never even punished under the Law at all for being non-virgins, much less killed for God's sake! Ask any Rabbi.
So no passage in the Old Testament ever punished or even prohibited premarital sex. However, our churches teach that premarital sex is "porneia" (sexual immorality). If God's word has never called premarital sex "immoral" or punished it in any way, then how on earth have we come to conclude that it is a sin? The answer: by becoming like the Pharisees in our assumed rule making power, and by blinding ourselves to enormous amount of evidence to the contrary of our position.
Many authors rely on 1 Cor 7 to say premarital sex is a sin, where Paul advises marriage to people who can't control themselves sexually. However, they all skip over the fact that Paul said he was giving advice and not commands! Besides, the passage could just as easily imply that those who he was advising were indeed having sex ("can't control themselves"), and he doesn't condemn them as sinners or tell them to repent. He advises channeling the passion into marriage.
Many authors also note the passion celebrated after the wedding in the Song of Songs, for instance. However, basically all evangelical authors do not even mention the fact that the couple enjoys "their" new bed and tons of passion more than a full chapter *before* their wedding. Isn't that kind of an important fact if the topic is whether or not sex before marriage is a sin?
Virginity is honored and holy in Scripture, and sex in marriage is also honored and praised. However, God has ever called sex before marriage a sin. He simply hasn't. To teach that He has is to go beyond God's Word, bzeyond Scripture, beyond the Prophets, and beyond the Apostles. We need to think long and hard, as churches that will be judged by what we teach, about why God has taken this approach to sex.
Given the absence of any clear prohibitions against premarital sex, one essentially has argue that sex before marriage is a sin because God honors sex in marriage. That is a logical fallacy. God honors abstinence from alcohol by calling John the Baptist the greatest man, but God has always allowed alcohol consumption as well. He has never punished it in moderation, and even honored it at Cana and through the Eucharist. So honoring something does not mean the opposite is sin. Yet that faulty logic is essentially the only basis for the church's modern teaching regarding premarital sex.
In Christ,
P.S. – I just realize I called you Mr. Akin and you are a Dr. Forgive me please, Dr. Thank you.
My point — with my "idiotic logic" and all was simply that there are plenty of other good books on the subject where the subject of sex is dealt with in a less offensive manner than Driscoll's. For the life of me I can't seem to understand why you guys think that all of us who have problems with Driscoll's methods and theology are idiotic. There are plenty of people who are doing good work and writing books that edify instead of promoting a Christian pornography in order to accommodate the pop culture. Not all of us out here in ministry-land think Mark Driscoll is the kind of person we should be holding up as an example to our young people and our churches. If that makes me "idiotic" — I wear the badge with honor.
If you sleep with dogs you'll get fleas. Shame on you teach us how to preach not read this kind of trash.
have you read it?
[...] demonize Ed Young or Mark Driscoll (Real Marriage, The Peasant Princess) or anyone else. In fact, Danny Akin has even commended Driscoll for answering some of the tough questions regarding [...]
Paraphrasing Driscoll in the "Can We" chapter, he admits that the sexual acts in question would've been unthinkable in our grandparents' marriages, but they have become mainstream due to porngraphy. That alone is quite telling.

Over the past decade, on battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Marine Corps has enhanced its reputation as an elite fighting force. But as the U.S. military role in that region winds down, the Corps' main focus is shifting from land warfare back to expeditionary warfare. Commandant General James F. Amos alluded to this Marine forte when he wrote in the November issue of Proceedings that America's "leaders need a ready force that can be committed at a moment's notice to buy time for strategic decision-making. . . . Marines are that force."

Snow in England stops travel, schools
An unusual amount of snow in parts of England has caused major headaches for those hoping to fly in or our of Heathrow Airport in London. Schools have also been shut down in some areas. While many bemoan the icy roads and train delays throughout the country, others are getting outside to enjoy the wintery weather, with many hoping on 'sledges' or toboggans.

The Bolt show moves on to the 200 at Olympics
Get ready for more of The Bolt Show.
Usain Bolt dropped by Olympic Stadium for a brief visit Monday night and did things his way, as usual, jumping to the top step of the medal podium to collect his second consecutive gold for the 100 meters.
When the Jamaican sensation returns to the track on Tuesday, it will be for the first round of the 200 meters, an event he's planning to win, too, as part of his quest to become what he calls a "living legend." As it is, Bolt and Carl Lewis are the only men to take home back-to-back golds in the 100.
No man ever has won two Olympic 200s.
After his victory Sunday in the shorter event in 9.63 seconds - the second-fastest time in history — Bolt was asked whether he's the best sprinter ever. His reply revealed a rare bit of modesty from an athlete who tends to showboat aplenty, then backs it up when it's race time.
"I can't say that. I think I have to wait until the 200 meters, and then my fans got to say, 'Yes, he is,' and the media's got to say, 'Yes he is.' I'm never going to say I'm the greatest until after my 200 meters." That's his favorite race, the one in which he holds the world record of 19.19, set at the 2009 world championships. The 200 semifinals are Wednesday, and the final is Thursday night.
Once again, Bolt will likely face a tough challenge from his Jamaican teammate and training partner, Yohan Blake, who took the silver in the 100 on Saturday. Blake beat Bolt in both sprints at their national Olympic trials.
"I've told Yohan Blake that 200 meters will be different, because that's my signature event. I'm not going to let him beat me again. I've said that to him already," Bolt said. "Remember I said that, Yohan." The 200 qualifying heats close out the morning session Tuesday.
Other events on the schedule include the 110-meter hurdles featuring defending champion Dayron Robles of Cuba and 2004 gold medalist Liu Xiang of China, who pulled out of his preliminary round at home four years ago; and qualifying in the women's 5,000 meters, women's javelin and the men's triple jump.
At night, the women will run their 200-meter semifinals, and medals will be awarded for the men's high jump, men's discus, men's 1,500 meters and the women's 100-meter hurdles, where Dawn Harper will try to win a second gold in a row and Lolo Jones will try to win her first after stumbling in the 2008 final.
In the first round of the women's 200 on Monday, Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica provided the only bit of drama, barely making it into the top three of her heat to advance.
Americans Sanya Richards-Ross — already the 400 champion - Allyson Felix and Carmelita Jeter, also made it through, along with Jamaican 100-meter gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
Richards-Ross had the best time of the bunch at 22.48 seconds after a restless four or five hours of sleep the night before with her new gold medal.
"I just feel lighter and free, and so I'm just going to go out there and give it my best and hopefully make it through the semifinals as well," said Richards-Ross.
The only other US gold so far in track and field came Monday night from pole vaulter Jenn Suhr.
For the first time she could remember, Suhr entered a big meet buoyed by a positive message from her husband, Rick, who's been her coach since before they were married.
"Before I went out here, he said, 'You're going to win this,'" Suhr said. "I've competed 100 times and that's not something he says. It puts that extra spunk that I could do this. Someone else believes in me that much." The takeaway was that no one is unbeatable — not even Russian superstar Yelena Isinbayeva, the two-time defending champion and world-record holder.
Suhr vaulted 4.75 meters (15 feet, 7 inches) to defeat Cuba's Yarisley Silva, who cleared the same height but lost on a tiebreaker because she had one more miss in the competition. Of greater significance, Suhr defeated Isinbayeva, whose top height of 4.70 (15-5) was only good enough for a bronze this time.
When it was over, Suhr rushed over to the stands to find her husband, who draped a US flag around her shoulders while she sobbed into his chest. What a contrast from four years ago, when Rick was caught on camera berating Suhr after she was the runner-up to Isinbayeva.
Few knew at the time that they were romantically involved and would be married two years later.
"If he could get out there and try to push me over the bar, he would," she said. "He's done so much for me. He cares so much."

Mildred Pepper was a student at the Florida State College for Women (FCSW) when she and Claude Pepper met and courted in the 1930s. She was an active political force throughout her husband's life and political career.
In his autobiography, Claude Pepper credits his wife as a vibrant and creative force who was as good if not better politician than he was, especially as it pertained to social matters. Sadly, Mildred died of terminal cancer in 1979, leaving her husband widowed. At his wife's memorial service, Claude Pepper eulogized Mildred and her various talents which included oil painting. He remarked how his wife found solace in oil painting while battling her disease. The Pepper Collection has a small number of her works which are rotated on exhibit throughout the year.
In commemoration of Mildred Pepper, the Pepper Library sponsors art exhibitions in conjunction with local and community artists in the Tallahassee area throughout the year. These exhibitions are free and open to the general public.

Beauty >La Piscine Hair Salon & Beauty

Mon-Fri 830am-7pm; Sat 830a-630p; Sun 11a-5pm; Closed on Sundays for the months of July and August.
Neighborhoods: Lenox Hill, Upper East Side, Midtown
Beauty Results You Can Count On – Sohaila has been cutting my hair for years and I am delighted that she and Franck have now opened their own salon. They are true artists and so are Laure'n & Larissa, the two colorists. Elsa doesn't just wash and condition hair; she gives an incredible scalp massage. I depend upon all of them to help me look my best and I am always thrilled with the results.. I also trust their judgment implicitly. I just had my eybrows threaded for the first time at Sohaila's suggestion and once again, she has suggested something that has truly enhanced my appearance.
Treat yourself with a visit to La Piscine - you will feel welcomed when you arrive, taken care of while you are there and look terrific when you leave!
Beautiful experience! – This is a wonderful place to get your beauty boost! Franck and Sohaila and their staff are friendly, helpful and fun. They always make me feel and look gorgeous. Their new salon is comfortable and chic. It's a pleasure to get my hair done with them and I look forward to it every time!!
Love this place – I was excited to try this new place after it had finally opened. Wow...big improvement from when it was Blow! All the people working make you feel right at home! I had my hair blown out about 4 times before I decided to get my color and I couldn't be happier with the results!!! I also had my eyebrows threaded for first time (always wax) and that was huge difference in the shape! Will deffinatly be going back soon for a haircut, and will enjoy getting my blow outs on my way home from work. (I work down the block :) Very happy I found this place!
La Creme de la Creme – I was in New York City for vacation and my Hotel was close to this incredible and unique Salon. One day me and my husband decided to go out and I went to La Pascine to get my hair done. From the moment I stepped in till I left the salon the awesome owners Franck and Sohaila gave me the feeling of being home. The workers were very professional and welcoming. The atmosphere was incredible and my hair looked awesome. My husband loved it too!!!Before we went back to Germany I went there again to get my hair done. I will definitly visit this salon the next time we will be in New york. An awesome City with an awesome Salon!!!
I can't find a word to describe how good they are :) – The salon is a breath of fresh air. The service is outstanding and unlike any other.... I loved it. You are welcomed as soon as you step in the door. I have been to many stylists in New York City until the day I met Sohaila and Franck . I always leave looking and feeling amazing, for cut, color, highlights, and i am just in love with the way they do the brazilian blow out ..the are so professional always keeping up with the latest techniques to help us look our best. They know exactly what they are doing and takes pride in it. I love Soodi because she does My full body wax, and she is so fast that she doesnt even let me think about the pain. she does my eyebrows and lips threading too. She is just an amazing lady , and she was the only person that did my eyebrows with and I didn't go home crying because I loved the way she did it ;)
The staff in La piscine Salon all with amazing engaging personalities and all work with genuine care. Dedication like this is unfortunately rare in New York City but at least there is La Piscine, thanks guys. I recommend this salon for any of your beauty needs and rate this salon as one of the best in New York City!
Wonderful staff and service!! – I've been coming here for about a year and a half, and could not possibly have enough great things to say about this place. Professional yet homey, I really look forward to my hair appointments.
I've had about 3 different hair colors in a year, and they've all turned out perfect with no damage to my hair whatsoever. Laure'n is my colorist and beyond superb. She definitely listens to what you want and delivers...plus she's tons of fun to talk to while you sit in a chair for a couple hours :)
I've had my hair cut by both Frank and Sohalia, who are beyond talented and really take time to make sure you're happy. I've never left La Piscine less than 110% satisfied.
I just got my eyebrows threaded there as well, and shall be returning for that and waxing services.
La Piscine is superb and I would follow these stylists anywhere. The entire staff really makes you feel so welcomed, and that is often not the case in NYC salons.
Warm, amazing at what they do, affordable and convenient...what more could you ask for! GO!!! You won't regret it :)
Oh and one more thing....I've called for a last minute appointment so many times or to change the time, and they are always so accommodating to try and fit me in. I could go on and on and on about this place but I know there are many more reviews to come so just go see for yourself :)
Fabulous hair cut and color – My haircut is fabulous and I owe it all to Sohaila, one of the owners....She is so creative and really listens to what I want (I change my hair style all the time). Laure'n is my colorists and my summer color is perfect for me, salt and pepper natural hair color to white....The salon is in a great location and the atmosphere is relaxing...the prices are so reasonable and I always get compliments on my haircut/color....love this salon...........
Relaxing and professional salon – Run,don't walk to the new Spa Hair salon , great location with an easy subway access and very professional hair stylist.
I have been lucky to have my hair cut by the owner Franck for over a decade in New york, at la Piscine the atmosphere is very relaxing it feel like being in the French riviera.
At la Piscine you are not just a regular customer.the welcoming,warming and professional staff make you feel very comfortable.
Enjoy !
the best salon – i love the way they wax my face i feel so soft and super sexy the best thing about it u don't feel the pain at all witch is a good thing for me i have been waxing other places as will but i was never happy with them so i am so glad that i find a new place for waxing and hair cutting =))))))))))))
I am in love with La Piscine – La Piscine is a jewel box! I would have followed Sohaila, Frank and Elsa just about anywhere but the new salon is absolutely gorgeous and so full of love. Je l'adore!!!!!!!! Whenever I want to feel happy and beautiful, it is simple, I come to visit Sohaila and Frank. It is guaranteed to lift my spirits! Elsa's scalp massage erases all troubles. I always say it is better than anything to make me feel good... My hair completely changed once I became under their care. I have gone to far more expensive salons and have not been even near as happy with the outcome. To make up for their super reasonable prices, I visit frequently. I am completely addicted. The service is always outstanding, never rushed but somehow fast and efficient too. The entire staff is charming and talented. I am also thrilled with their generous new hours making it even easier to slip in before work, travel or dates.

Creator Sam Dale on June 29, 2013
Just heard from the guys on Facebook that the Blu-rays etc should go out next week.
Creator Lauwie0 on June 2, 2013
After various sent emails (through kickstarter, replying to update emails and through the film's website) I have to date not received any answer or update of any form.
Since I am not the only backer in this situation, is there anything we can do?
Creator Herbert Eder on May 22, 2013
Ocean Fan Pack? Any news? Didn't receive survey yet.
Creator Lauwie0 on May 19, 2013
I also have not received any update on the "Ocean Fan Pack" backer package since the official "release" email sent on the 3rd of January. In that email there was stated that a survey would be sent out within 48 hours on the blu-ray and dvd, but I have never received such an email.
Creator Randall Beatty on May 6, 2013
I haven't received my Blu-Rays either... You haven't sent them yet have you?
Creator Jeff Hitchcock on May 5, 2013
Any update on when the digital downloads will be available?
Creator Herbert Eder on April 13, 2013
Same here, actually not even received a survey.
Creator Pontus Welin on March 5, 2013
Yeah. I haven't gotten mine either
Creator AKRine on March 1, 2013
Have the Ocean Fan Packs have gone out? I just want to make sure mine didn't get shipped to the wrong address or something. =)
Creator Sam Dale on February 17, 2013
Any update on when the Blu-rays will be shipped out?
Creator Kelsey Hawley on January 22, 2013
I watched the videos on youtube, absolutely gorgeous! And I was wondering when we will get the downloads of them?
Creator Anthony Bundy on December 29, 2012
watched the films on Youtube, and loved them. My favorite is actually the last.
I sincerely hope at least one gets turned into a full production movie. Put me down for a ticket for opening night if so.
Hopefully all.
Creator Jeremy Caldwell on October 9, 2012
Hey, it's October! :) So, I checked the website and it looks like you guys are still filming... How close are you guys to finishing and sending out these videos so I can finally see??
Creator Realm Pictures on July 23, 2012

Creator MadMonkFish on June 12, 2012
Good news on the movie pack - watch your emails over the next few days :)
Creator MadMonkFish on June 10, 2012
Agree on the Action Movie Pack - presume we haven't missed it (I opted for postal delivery :)
The guys seem buys, I'm sure we'll get an update soon?
Creator Lucas Pfaff on June 9, 2012
Yep, the Action Movie Package would be nice...
Creator Christopher Noir on June 1, 2012
same here Austin haha, looking forward to indie action pack to help on my project as well
Creator Austin Burke on May 30, 2012
And any word on how much longer on the indie action pack? Really looking forward to the tutorials as I feel they could add a lot to my films and have actually delayed filming while I wait on the dvd to arrive.
Creator Realm Pictures on May 30, 2012
Hey Guys - we sure did! The LED plans went out a good couple of months ago, please email us at team at realm-pictures dot com with details of the problems you are having and we will look into them get them sorted ASAP
Creator Jarred L on May 25, 2012
i have received nothing either.. how do we get a refund?
Creator Jarred L on May 25, 2012
I didnt get the LED plans either... but my money sure was taken.
Creator Simon Hosick on May 23, 2012
Hi, did you send out the LED plans? Because I didn't get one if you did.
Creator Dimitrios on March 25, 2012
Thanks for getting in there and pulling together the LED plans for us Mark. I'm glad to see that I was wrong and that you guys are an up and up organization. Looking forward to it as well as the development of finding a vendor for the dimmer situation. Maybe you can give the online community some help so that maybe we can solve the problem for you. I like the forum idea and have seen this really take hold in some other arenas.
Thanks again
Creator Lucas Pfaff on March 23, 2012
Great to hear that. I'm really excited about the LEDs and the Action Pack. I'm SO excited about this :)
Creator Realm Pictures on March 23, 2012
Stuart, that's a really good idea. It would be a great way for users to connect with each other - and more importantly a place where we can all see these lights grow and develop!
Lucas - it's coming! We are working to get the LED plans out over this weekend, then it's all steam ahead on compiling the action pack (and Zomblies) for delivery.
Creator Lucas Pfaff on March 22, 2012
Hi Mark,
what about the Indie Action Movie Pack? :) I want to blow stuff up :)
Creator Stuart Baker on March 21, 2012
Hi Mark,
Thank you for the update. May I suggest that when you release the plans that you setup an online forum so that those with the plans can provide support to each other, as well as ask questions of your engineering team? A streamlined communication will likely save many time and money insofar as their investment when building LED lights, as well as provide a venue for you to outline the patch updates as they become available.
Thanks again for the update. I hope that all is well with the Underwater Realm production; looking forward to continued updates, and a chance to see your film at the earliest of opportunities!
Creator Realm Pictures on March 19, 2012
Hi All
We have been receiving a lot of messages regarding the LED Plans and so we thought it sensible to give you an update.
For those who don't know, we have been experiencing problems with our suppliers meaning we are no longer comfortable recommending them to our backers. Unfortunately this change in suppliers has meant a redesign for the dimmer circuit which means its not as simple as releasing the plans just without the recommendations.
However, it is not OK that the plans have been delayed this long and so we have come to a solution. We will be releasing a primary version of the plans in the form of a video and a PDF document with the diagrams and construction materials you will need. These plans will be incomplete since they will not contain the dimmer but as soon as it is possible for us to release patches we will update you all with this addition.
We were hesitant to release incomplete plans since we wanted to release something bullet proof. This way, you will be able to construct a fully working set of LED lights that work from battery power but like kenos you won't be able to dim them. Not the most elegant of solutions but this delay doesn't feel right when everyone has been so generous to us.
We thank you for your understanding
Mark Ruddick
The Underwater Realm
Creator Dimitrios on March 17, 2012
It sounds like the Underwater Realm is turning into the Underwater Excuse Farm. I have witnessed this kind of problem before where the we keep our part of the deal and as soon as the film makers get their money they forget about you. Sad and sleazy. I thought that this bunch would be different.
Creator Austin Burke on March 17, 2012
@Paul Robinson I got this message from Dave explaining the current situation with the Indie Action Pack
"The Indie action pack has been slightly delayed due to the fact that our shooting schedule for The Underwater Realm has been brought forward. Since we're working on favours (even with the kick starter campaign this is still a very low budget endeavour) we have to fit around studios and suppliers schedules which is highly frustrating. However we are trying to et the packs out asap. Thank you for your support and patience
Mark Ruddick"
Creator MACMACMAC on March 16, 2012
Thanks for the update Dave. Just keep us updated please. A LED lighting building plan without supplier address (of the most important parts the LED strips I suppose ) is of course useless.
Creator Paul Robinson on March 16, 2012
Dave is there an update on the "Indie Action Movie Pack" reward? it too was marked for Feb 2012...
Creator Dimitrios on March 15, 2012
Hello Dave,
Thank you for your update. I am glad to have contributed to such a worthwhile project and wish it much success.
I had signed up for the LED plans. Just as you have felt let down by your supplier I also feel let down by Realm Pictures in regards to receiving my LED plans package. I tried to contact your organization a number of times without getting any return of information. I think that you might want to consider doing something a little extra for those who ordered this package. This would go a long way to show your sincere gratitude for their generous contributions. Then again this is just my opinion.
Also for future reference I would say that it is not acceptable to be silent in regards to your contributors because of your being "too busy". It makes me feel like I am being taken advantage of and that your production comes before your backers. We all know that unfortunate things happen in this business but we would rather know than not know.
Creator Realm Pictures on March 15, 2012
Oh no! We have been answering emails and tweets but completely missed this comments section - so sorry guys.
The Lighting Masterclass has been delivered electronically. Anyone who has been expecting the masterclass and has not yet received it, please ensure you have filled out the form we sent out on Jan 6th over at: https://docs.google.com/a/realm-pictures.com/spreadsheet/viewform…
As for the LED plans, we have been quite badly let down by a supplier, and we are not happy to work with them or to suggest them to all of our backers. We have thankfully now found a replacement and will be delivering the LED plans asap.
Really very sorry for the delay - we just want to make sure that we give you plans for a set of lights that will work hard for you for a long time to come.
Please feel free to get in touch with us directly at email@example.com - silence is not deliberate, just an unfortunate by-product of being so (amazingly) busy thanks to all you guys.
Realm Pictures
Creator MACMACMAC on March 15, 2012
I want well prepared LED plans and I'm sure it's a lot of work but please keep us updated.
Creator MACMACMAC on March 15, 2012
Well, it's soon the end of the month after. They really should really say something about the LED plans. This silence is not okay.
Creator Michael Lofquist (deleted) on March 14, 2012
I was told the following on Feb 16:
"The rewards will be sent out by the end of this month. We are just adding a few finishing touches and thanks but they will be out soon. Thanks for you patience"
Creator Austin Burke on March 13, 2012
Has anyone been able to get word on when we should expect our rewards? I know they are probably busy but I would like to have an update on whats taking so long.
Creator Stuart Baker on March 13, 2012
Is there an update on the LED Panel plans? I had thought they were to be delivered in February. Hope all is well with the Production! Thanks.
Creator Mark Hensley on March 2, 2012
Hi Guys, any word on the plans for the awesome LED light panels? I can't wait to build a couple of bank of them up. Congrats on the 1 Year anniversary!!
Creator Sam Dale on February 28, 2012
Great project!
Noting that Feb is almost finished and that many of the rewards were estimated for Feb, how are things looking on the schedule front?
Creator Connor Rickman on January 4, 2012
Thanks for the great incentives to pledge! Although I didn't see a date with Eve on the list...
Creator LittleBigFilmCo on January 4, 2012
Awesome to see this achieve so much...this truly is a demonstration of crowd funding at its finest... I look forward to taking my kids along and showing them what can happen when you dare to dream a dream that others believe in!

Post subject: Bowcaster in progress
I took this project on for a friend here in the NYC Area. He's got a Lucas Approved Chewie costume And needed a weapon. I'm doing it on a tight budget, so there were limitations on getting it perfect.
Well, I couldn't find the correct crossbow, but I did find one a little more affordable, and the conversions going pretty good. This is what it looks like right now.
I am using key rings for the sling attachments. The Crossbow has been deactivated. The trigger removed from the firing system, and then several springs cut or removed. I then filled in the bolt launching area with plumbers putty. Also squared off the front end and added the front sight with the same putty.
I am using a resin single point scope along with 2 Solo ANH Hero Scopes to make the triple scope set up. Using the putty to create the scope rings. (working on that right now)
So, whatcha think?

I take it you approve lol
Triple scope is coming along nicely I have the three scopes attached to each other, and over the next few days I'll form the actual scope rings. Already have the attachment to the crossbow worked out.
Next thing, 2 racket balls. Gotta put the balls on the ends of the bow.

This is for Darren, I assume, or did someone else in New England finish a Wookiee suit?
What are you using for the base XBow? Doesn't look like the Barnett or any of the Horton bows people are using, yet surprisingly close.
Most of the knobs on the side are various electronics dials that have all been identified. I have reference pics and info on my Chewie page:
Chewie Bowcaster Info
Peter claims that the spheres are raquetballs and they are the right size and even have the seem (they were added so he wouldn't poke himself). I assume you are going for the ANH version since you have removed the string (which I always liked best).
For myself I'm planning on buying the MR replica when it comes out later this year, seeing as how the correct xbow has yet to be positively identified and the most likely candidate is so rare I'll never find one.
Great work, Ed.

There is no Manufacture On the box, it says it's a CF-120 150 lb Crossbow. Found it on Ebay, spent about $50 on it.
It's not for Darren, It's for a New York Area Chewie, Matt Smith. He was the Chewie present when I presented George Lucas the Honorary membership. (And was prasied for the costume)
The biggest difference here would be the front section, as you can see I had to square up the front and the cut out area isn't as big as the real Crossbow. Because of this, I'm not sure how many of the do dads and greebles fromt he real crossbow I'm going to be able to get onto it.

slow at the moment, Had some issues come up here. And got sidetracked.
I have been able to finish the triple scope set up (using a single point and 2 ANH Hero Solo Scopes) And then mount it to the cross bow.
I'm still looking to get the balls for the ends of the bow and then I'll see how many of the greebles I'll be able to fit on the crossbow.

Odson lifts JV to win over Wagner by Jim Prosser Ellen Odson sank three of four free throws with under one minute left in the game as the Vermillion girls' junior varsity Tanagers rallied to beat the Wagner Red Raiders 34-30 in basketball action Jan. 28 at Vermillion.
The Vermillion JV had trailed by one going into the final period.
"She helped clinch the game," said Vermillion JV coach Kelly Knutson of the clinching moment.
Kayla Mollet scored 8 points, grabbed six rebounds and made two steals.
"Kayla stepped up as a leader tonight; she played great defense and hustled every second she was in there," said coach Knutson.

"Tera Dehner had five points and four rebounds playing with a broken finger," coach Knutson said.

Law Stops Car Impounds at DUI Checkpoints
Jessica Flores
A new law starting this new year stops police from impounding cars of unlicensed drivers at DUI checkpoints.
"When we have an unlicensed driver come through our sobriety checkpoints and that's the only offense they are found to be committing, we are going to make reasonable efforts to find someone who can drive that vehicle," said California Highway Patrol Officer, Joe Zargoski.
Currently, if a driver is stopped without a license at a checkpoint, they are ticketed and their car is impounded for 30 days. The new law still allows police to issue tickets for driving without a license, but now police have to give the driver a chance to find a licensed driver to pick up the car.
"People who can't drive don't deserve the right to be on the road," said Sky Valley resident Ray Marek. "I do think they should impound the car," he said.
Hundreds of cars rolled up to checkpoints over the weekend in Riverside County. Police arrested one person for drunk driving. But mostly, police impounded cars of drivers without licenses. For the sponsors behind the new law, that's the problem. California Assemblymember Gil Cedillo says that DUI checkpoints are being used to target undocumented immigrants who don't have licenses.
"We should be focusing dollars on getting drunk drivers off the street. Instead they're focusing those dollars on impounding unlicensed drivers," said Conrad Terrazas, spokesperson for Assemblymember Cedillo.
If a licensed driver is unavailable, police can impound the cars of unlicensed drivers for one day. Currently, impounded cars are help for 30 days and usually cost more than a thousands dollars to retrieve.
"The fact that we are looking at anything other than DUI drivers is kind of obsurd. The only thing we look for at a sobriety check point is that every one has a valid license but more so that anyone isn't under the influence," said Zagorski.
Police aren't changing how they handle unlicensed drivers on the road. Police will still impound cars from unlicensed drivers pulled over on the road. Unlicensed drivers will still be ticketed, even at DUI checkpoints. The law rolls in January 1.
"I mean if it's a thing about DUI and alcohol then what has a persons license got to do with that?" said Silvester D'Souza of Cathedral City.
