This is an example of a Makeshift article page, with all fields filled out.
Loud music blares from speakers perched just feet away from a main road, covering the busy marketplaces of Ajah, Lagos in sound. Passersby stroll past dozens of clothing stalls, fresh produce stands, and shops with CDs and DVDs in bright paper sleeves strewn along the ground and arranged on crowded wooden walls. This particular shop falls in a line of similar-looking stalls, selling pirated versions of popular American television shows, movies, and, of course, Nollywood films. It has a large selection of local films and a few chatty customers, so I walk in.
I've come searching for the 1992 Nollywood classic Living in Bondage starring Kanayo O. Kanayo and Francis Agu. After voicing my request to Chidi, the attendant, just about every head turns in my direction, responding with variations of, "Wow! What an old film," or, "That was a great film, I'd forgotten all about it." Movie shoppers share this camaraderie, engaging vendors and browsers in bits of celebrity gossip while haggling down the price of the movies. Across the highway, jam-packed buses pass by buildings plastered with posters of the same films.
Nollywood poster art reveals the same cost-effective production as the movies they advertise: a no-frills, cut-pasted, and photoshopped effort resulting in surrealist collages of comedy, tragedy, and love. On one tattered poster, lightning bolts shoot across a man in traditional Nigerian clothes holding a machete next to a snake, a distressed looking midget, and a crying woman with palms pressed against her head. Another, for Calabar Girls, features a topless woman cupping her breasts in front of men in singlets and voluptuous bikini-clad girls.
This is Nollywood's distribution center.
Marketers and Pirates
By volume, Nollywood ranks as the second largest film producer behind Bollywood in India and ahead of Hollywood in America. While even low-level productions in Hollywood start in the tens of millions (USD) and can take years to produce, the average Nollywood film gets churned out in 10 days for roughly USD 15,000. Ingenuity and hyper-efficiency replace the luxuries of time and budgets.
Directors learn to think on their feet about how to solve problems and get the work done under difficult circumstances. Actors are not always officially trained. Budgets not always clear. And sets often get improvised quickly with whatever materials are available, forcing all crew members to creatively manage limitations. The result is more than 1,000 feature-length films per year.
After a whirlwind few days of shooting and editing, copies generally get distributed through an underground network of pirates who copy and sell the movies to the masses of eager movie-watchers within Nigeria and globally. It is here that the disagreement begins.
"These pirates also happen to be marketers, or so we are told. It's an open secret," explains Ego Boyo, a veteran Nollywood actor, producer, and household name. "They sell and reproduce these movies without permission. The legal way would be for a filmmaker or producer to sell the rights of their movie to a marketer for a certain amount of time.
After a period of time, the rights should go back to the owners, but it doesn't happen that way."
Movies are copied by the thousands in homemade dubbing facilities and packaged for distribution through the established network of pirates nationally. Some, reports show, produce up to 300,000 copies a year. In an interview with Channels Television Station in Lagos back in July of this year, Paul Obazele, veteran actor and President of the Edo Filmmakers Association, revealed that some government officials are the major sponsors of these pirating operations, including their export to other nations.
With a USD 250 million a year industry on the line, the debate over who has stolen how much money remains a prickly one. On one hand, a massive number of people depend on the copied DVDs to make a living; Nollywood is the country's second- largest employer after agriculture. On the other, a film industry still struggles to find its feet despite massive international appeal, and a generation of filmmakers and actors often never receive a dime for the reproduction of their work.
The pirates make far too much money to simply be stamped out: they own the keys to the massive distribution market and are able to price the product to the average local paycheck. The producers can create the films on the slimmest budget and rarely make money themselves, though they need the copiers to maintain their popularity.
"We need to have a strong formal distribution system in place. We have an informal system now and that is not enough," says Joke Silva, a Nollywood screen and theater veteran and Director at the Lufodo Academy of Performing Arts. "There are licensed distributors quite okay, but the formal distribution system is lacking. It is about enforcing the laws. Anti-piracy laws do exist in Nigeria, but
the enforcing agencies are not well equipped or funded to enforce the laws. Other countries need to be a part of [an overall change] too because Nollywood is the main source of content for television stations all over Africa."
Ego Boyo's rise in Nollywood has seen her spend much of her 23- year career behind the camera as a filmmaker and producer of Nollywood's best known films. In 2008, her Lagos-based production company, Temple Productions, produced 30 Days with a Nollywood all-star cast of Genevieve Nnaji, Joke Silva, and Segun Arinze. Boyo screened the film to excited viewers in London, Lagos, and Houston—then shelved it, keeping the masters hidden from potential pirates. To date, no copies are available on Nigeria's streets, and there are no clips on YouTube.
"I can't say anything good about the pirates because they steal property that does not belong to them. Reducing them or eliminating them completely will give the industry a fighting chance to survive and where the films made can actually make money."
Boyo's case is not rare. The lack of a formal distribution network since Nollywood came into its own in the early 1990s is impossible to ignore. Street economies emerged to fill the holes the regulated economy couldn't. The political situation was tense, and the nation mostly stayed indoors to avoid ongoing political crises playing out on the streets. The situation has changed over the last decade, with large-scale shopping-mall cinemas springing up in major cities across Nigeria. Today, pirates and cinemas compete for the same clientele. And with the Internet, pirates can expand their business ventures overseas.
But the pirate product keeps a massive swath of Nigeria employed. Reports estimate an average of 30 new illegally released movie titles are delivered to stalls and marketplaces every week. Their vendors set up shop in residential communities, weave through snarls of traffic, and flood the numerous open-air markets. With each illegally sold DVD for approximately USD 1 and thousands of stalls across every city in the country, the pirate industry is massive.
Music CDs are pirated too. Any artist with a hit record in Nigeria is forced to negotiate with the Alaba Boys, the largest and most well-known illegal reproducers of everything in Nigeria from fake designer clothing to gadgets and films. Their informal Alaba market distribution network could be considered the street equivalent of iTunes. When an album launches, musicians—whether they agree or not—bring the masters to the Alaba Boys: they are the distributors. Based on the artist's popularity and projected number of street stall sales, they cut a deal and push the CDs out to vendors.
Too often, the story goes, a marketer makes an official deal with the moviemaker for rights to distribute the movie throughout a particular region for a certain amount of money. The marketer agrees yet produces threefold the number of DVDs previously agreed upon. Unsold copies are sent back to the filmmakers, while the marketer continues to profit off the illegal surplus.
Linking Chains
Historically, Nigeria has battled with intellectual property enforcement— and Nollywood feels the unfortunate side effects as hard as any other industry. This, it seems, is on the road to change.
The 2013 Project ACT, an initiative spearheaded by the Nigerian government, seeks to bridge the formal and informal worlds of film production and distribution. The program will allow the Nollywood film industry to access approximately USD 200,000 in grants to support distribution, film production, and capacity building.
Ego Boyo is optimistic about the project. "Piracy thrives where there is a huge demand yet no supply," she says. "These new developments, we hope, will put the true pirates out of business; everyone will now be able to access these distribution shops even in the small cities."
The initiative contains guidelines for distributors to become legitimate in order to receive the money from the grants for setting up their own legal shops for sale or
wholesale. In theory, both sides win. But will Project ACT change anything?
Tosin Olubunmi, a local Nollywood movie street vendor sells her own pirated movies at gas stations during peak traffic times in the largely residential area of Gbagada. On an average day, she carts a series of the latest Nollywood DVDs and Nigerian pop CDs, trying to attract drivers. She has not heard of the new proposed regulations.
"If the government can help us so that we can do our work, that is no problem," says Olubunmi. "We want to make money. Even if the filmmakers say we are stealing, it is not true. We are all helping each other to make a living and survive."
Even the poorest of Nollywood actors tend to earn significantly more than third-party street sellers like Olubunmi. Ultimately, blame lands on the pirate middlemen. Nollywood theater actress and star of this year's psychological thriller Torn, Iretiola Doyle, explains, "Implementation is key, because we don't just have leaks, our gates are wide open for the pirates this way. Our industry needs strong structures in place to checkmate them."
With Love to Hollywood
Paradoxically, Nollywood movies copy Western material too, even though what Hollywood and Bollywood provide for Nigerians in content is often not directly pertinent to the life in African towns and villages. Nollywood stars are almost exclusively native Nigerians, sometimes cast off the streets as walk-ons. Their job, at times, involves putting an African touch on themes from the blockbusters abroad.
Nollywood's notable style ranges from the wildly fantastical to the tragic and comedic. Based off strong supernatural and esoteric beliefs, witches and spells make for popular plot twists, as does the never-ending search for quick wealth amidst abject poverty, prostitution, and HIV/AIDS.
Proponents believe a more robust and funded industry would give writers, producers, and directors more room to develop these themes and give actors the chance to make their roles shine.
"It is now time to move forward and make the entire business viable again. Nollywood is a platform for us to show Nigeria in a good light," explains Boyo. For her, this means using the diverse resources available to push all those in the industry to improve Nigeria's storytelling capacity. "It will make a huge difference in the quality of stories being put forward and better films being made. Nollywood is not just movies about wizards and witches; we are more than that."
Witchcraft and wizardry aside, many Nigerians look to the day when pirates, actors, high-ranking officials, and throngs of street vendors share a victory for a new wave of cinema. It would indeed be a magical ending worthy of Nollywood's celluloid vaults.

Today, it's extremely feasible to speak to someone residing halfway around the planet, send and collect information via the net also to get the job done on a computer system at precisely the exact same moment. The progress in communicating is due to the evolution of fiber optic wires.
Fibreoptic cable can be a sort of cable that contains more than 1 fibreoptic. Such wires are frequently used and will also be thought of as one among the most useful options to get a whole lot of individuals. There are always a whole lot of benefits this you can have the ability to get when utilizing this kind of wire system.
One of those advantages is the fact that these wires are somewhat lighter, elastic and not as bulky when compared to additional sort of wires. If you are looking for high-speed internet devices that are compatible with fiber optics the visit http://www.ubiquiti.asia/airmax/nanostation-m.
Moreover, they're also inexpensive when compared with the typical copper cables. You are able to have the ability to save a lot in your allowance whenever you replace your previous aluminum wirings using optical fiber wire. When compared with aluminum cables, in addition, it has an increased carrying capacity. Which usually means that you'll be equipped to possess transmissions of several signs at one period without having plenty of intrusions.
On the list of bonus that's additionally offers by fiber, optic wires are that they're easier to work with. They utilize light for signal transmissions as opposed to power that averts incidences of electric shocks and fire hazards. As a result of it, they're safer to use as compared to normal aluminum cables.

I want to put some tablet pcs on the wall for controlling thermostat, light, may be it should show me actual weather and temperature. That's it. The app should be nice, used in fullscreen, landscape mode, and users should not be able to change layout or whatever.
I saw many android apps for "home automation" but there is nothing what meets my imaginings. What I saw are mostly created from a programmer to a geek/programmer apps. Highly customizable, do much more then you need.
I tried many "swiss knife" apps. But it is highly inconvenient to use these. Every time if you want turn light on, you have to find phone, power it on, enter password, find app, enter password, wait until it loads all widgets and retrieves status from the server, navigate to the right room, find an appropriate switch and then turn light on. It is efficient to use an dedicated switch on the wall, the way from couch to the wall inclusive.
Currently I'm trying MQTT-clients. Recently I came across the blynk-client. Last one is beautiful, simple, could be started in "read only" mode (the user cannot change layout). Blynk-Server can be installed locally, thus you don't need to pay any fees. Unfortunately it cannot be used in landscape mode and look ether as an technical thing, then living room remote.
An another idea to create an simple html site for each room individually. May be there is a framework for this? I mean images for controll widgets and such?
Or may be there is an FC2 server emulation? In order to use Fibaro App with z-way?

What is At Stake In A Presidential Election?
Political Questions & Answers
Radio Log
CHRISTIANS MUST PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION to several basic issues regarding political involvement, especially in an election year. Understanding these issues will affect the political behavior of each American citizen.
Following are some questions that you or others may be asking.
The answers may surprise you.
What is the most important "political" verse in the Bible?
I believe the most important "political" verse is Luke 20:25, where Christ said, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's" (see also Mark 12:17 and Matthew 22:21). He could have said to render just to Caesar, thereby endorsing a secular state. He could have said to render only to God indicating a theocracy or to Caesar and God together indicating a church state. However, Christ said to render to each their due indicating that there is a difference between church and state. This is most closely approximated in the United States.
Who or what is "Caesar" in the United States?
In Bible times, Caesar represented the highest political authority. In the United States, the highest political authority is the Constitution. Our Constitution makes the people the government. In rendering to Caesar (the Constitution), we give to the common good through personal involvement.
Is our form of government a democracy?
No. Our form of government is a republic, which places legislative power in elected representatives. A democracy
places it directly in the people.
How many social institutions did God ordain?
There are three institutions ordained by God—the family (Genesis 2:21-24), the church (Acts 2) and government (Romans 13:1-7).
Are civil servants ordained ministers?
Yes. In Romans 13, where Paul says that "higher powers" are "ordained of God" (vs. 1), a ruler is called a "minister of God" (vs. 4).
Why is North America more blessed than South America?
Christian economist Howard Kirschner said, "When men came here they were seeking God. When they went there they were seeking gold." Our political system is based on spiritual foundations. The United States is the oldest working constitutional government in the world.
On what Bible verse is our three-part system of government based?
It is thought to be based on Isaiah 33:22, where the Lord is called "our judge" (judicial), "our lawgiver" (legislative) and "our king" (executive).
Is it possible to be an American and not be involved in politics?
No. Everyone is involved in politics regardless of whether we vote in elections. If we pay taxes, send children to public schools, drive on public roads, accept police protection, allow ministers to marry with state authority, accept government assistance or scholarships or say the Pledge of Allegiance, we are politically involved. If religious institutions grant state-authorized degrees, place the United States and Christian flags together in church or accept tax exemption, they, too, are politically involved.
What are the general Biblical areas of political participation?
The Bible indicates four areas of involvement:
– God governed as dictator in Old Testament times. Daniel and Joseph rose to high positions in pagan governments. Jeremiah 29:7 enjoins prayer for the well-being of pagan societies that believers might be blessed.
– This is outlined in the previous question.
– God's Word commands that we pray "for all men, for kings, and for all that are in authority" (I Timothy 2:1 & 2). "All men" is the electorate. "All that are in authority" includes any elected or appointed official.
– Paul accepted and appealed to Roman protection as a Roman citizen (Acts 21:35) and as a means to evangelism in Europe (Acts 25:10-12).
Does "separation of church and state" appear in the Constitution?
No. The phrase "wall of separation" was used by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to church officials affirming that government would not interfere with the churches in America. People have mistakenly used the phrase to mean that the church should not be involved in government.
Can there be an absolute separation of church and state?
Absolutely not—for the reasons outlined above and, most obviously, because Christians are the embodiment of the heavenly/earthly combination as members of the body of Christ and citizens of the United States.
Does it really matter if Christians vote? Does a single vote count?
Yes! But even if it did not, obedience to God and "Caesar" dictates that we should. Consider these examples:
1645: One vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England.
1649: One vote caused Charles I of England to be executed.
1776: One vote gave America the English language instead of German.
1845: One vote brought Texas into the Union.
1868: One vote saved President Andrew Johnson from impeachment.
1875: One vote changed France from a monarchy to a republic.
1876: One vote gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency of the United States.
1910: Charles Bennett Smith defeated incumbent DeAlva Stanwood Alexander by just one vote in New York's
36th district.
1916: Woodrow Wilson won California by less than one vote per district, giving him the votes needed to win the
1923: One vote gave Adolph Hitler leadership of Germany.
1939: One vote elected Marcus Morton governor of Massachusetts.
1941: One vote saved Selective Service just 12 weeks before Pearl Harbor.
1948: A Texas party convention voted for Lyndon Johnson in a contested Senate election by just one vote and
launched his political career.
1954: Averill Harriman was elected governor of New York by only one vote per district.
1960: Richard Nixon lost the presidential election to John Kennedy by less than one vote per precinct.
George McGovern was elected senator from South Dakota by only one vote per district.
1974: The New Hampshire U.S. senate race was so close that it took a whole year and a new election to decide the
1978: John Warner was elected senator from Virginia by one vote per district.
2000: George W. Bush officially won Florida by 537 votes—less than one vote per precinct. Florida's electoral votes
gave Bush the presidency (the closest presidential election in U.S. history).
I felt the impact of how just a few votes can change an election. I lost a local school board election in 1975 by 31 votes. My campaign manager told me that, off the top of her head, she could think of 31 Christians who hadn't bothered to vote.
In the mid-'90s, a single vote decided a Dover, New Jersey school budget of $7.3 million. The outcome came down to whether one voter had properly registered.
What is at stake in a presidential election?
More is at stake that one might think. The most pressing issues include:
Moral issues
– Among the most prominent are abortion, LGBT rights and the definition of "family" and "marriage."
Religious freedom
– Restrictions can affect freedom to worship, pray, and evangelize, and even the ability to run a business.
Free Speech
Speaking out against sin conflicts with "politically correct" views and may be considered a "hate crime." This can affect tax exempt status.
National security
– Military preparedness and foreign policy will continue to be key issues in local, state and national elections.
Public school system
– Issues affected are federal intervention, the teaching of humanism vs. theism and the influence of the National Education Association.
Private and home schools
– Vouchers, federal regulations and curriculum mandates will be affected.
– Inflation affects personal finances and contributions, which affects church and non-profit organization finances.
Christian broadcasting
– Under the Fairness Doctrine, controversial issues of community interest must be identified and all sides presented. When implemented, the regulation greatly hinders Christian broadcasting. The Doctrine was rescinded under Reagan, but some want to have it restored.
National sovereignty
– The influence foreign governments and authorities have over the U.S. will be affected (e.g., U.S. soldiers swearing allegiance to the United Nations).
– The election of our highest government officials also puts in place people who will hold tremendous influence years down the road. Some estimate that the President of the United States appoints as many as 2,500 people to government positions, including federal judges and justices to the Supreme Court. Governors appoint state supreme court justices and other state positions.
After the 2000 election, university instructor and political analyst Susan Estrich frankly declared, "I'm now telling everybody what I've told my political science classes. When we elect a president, we also elect Supreme Court justices."
Does it really matter if Christians vote? Does a single vote count?
Yes! But even if it did not, obedience to God and "Caesar" dictates that we should register and vote. Consider these examples:
Marcus Morton was elected governor of Massachusetts by one vote in 1839. Charles Bennett Smith defeated incumbent U.S. congressman DeAlva Stanwood Alexander in 1910 by one vote in New York's 36th district. Woodrow Wilson won California by less than one vote per district in 1916, giving him the electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Averill Harriman was elected governor of New York in 1954 by only one vote per district. In 1974, the New Hampshire U.S. Senate race was so close that there was no clear winner, and a special election had to be held.
A single vote by elected officials can have long-term impact. The U.S. Senate approved the purchase of Alaska by one vote in 1867. One vote in the Senate also saved President Andrew Johnson from being removed from office following impeachment in 1868. In 1876, one vote by a committee to accept the electoral votes gave Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency of the United States. A Texas Democratic party committee voted in favor of Lyndon Johnson by just one vote in a contested 1948 Senate primary election and launched his political career.
The education of children can be affected. In the mid-'90s, a single vote decided a Dover, New Jersey school budget of $7.3 million. The outcome came down to whether one voter had properly registered. In 1975, I lost a local school board election by 31 votes. My campaign manager told me that, off the top of her head, she could think of 31 Christians who hadn't bothered to vote.
Other issues can also be affected be a single vote. In 2003, one of the ballot questions in Spencer, New York on the sale of alcohol in what was then a "dry" town passed because the vote was a tie. One more vote against would have defeated the measure. It went all the way to then-Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who upheld the interpretation of the law.
In the 2000 election, George W. Bush officially won Florida by 537 votes—less than one vote per precinct. Florida's electoral votes gave Bush the presidency in the closest presidential election in U.S. history.
One of my daughters is a resident of Palm Beach County, Florida, which was a focus of the intense vote recount efforts in the 2000 presidential election. She said that she could "see" her vote posted every time the TV flashed the count. She also shared how, just days before the election, a co-worker said, "I'm not registered, and I'm not going to vote. My vote doesn't count anyway."
Someone once said, "The most important thing we do is doing nothing." That's what about 49% of registered voters did in the 2000 presidential election. Approximately 4 million evangelicals did not vote, and it is estimated that 40% of evangelicals are not even registered to vote.
In his 1981 inaugural address, Ronald Reagan declared, "I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing."
In studying the importance of a single vote, consider this stunning story.
In July 1776, Delaware delegate Caesar Rodney was alerted that a vote was to be taken for or against independence from England. At home, miles away from Independence Hall, Rodney was suffering from terrible face cancer and would have been better off staying where he was. However, he rode on horseback all night through torrential rain and was carried into Independence Hall in time for the vote. At John Hancock's question, Rodney voted "Aye", and independence was approved.
In his book
The Light And The Glory
, Peter Marshall wrote, "If Rodney had voted no, Delaware would have voted no, Independence would have lost, and the delegates would have packed and gone home. Rodney's vote made all the difference."
The prophet Ezekiel recounted how one person would have made a difference in God's judgment of Israel. "And I [God] sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge and stand in the gap before me for the land that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God." (Ezekiel 22:30, 31)
God thinks one person is important. Shouldn't we?

Milena Arango , botanical and natural science artist Milena´s Vestigiun Tectona Grandis series, has been produced after her research and residence in South India, which prompted her to explore the relationship between art and nature. She collects hundreds of leaves that will then be the material of images. In some of her best-known pieces, using organic substances are then left to decay and decompose in their own . Curiously, it becomes more of a concept the more it disappears as a recognised object, focusing on form, texture and color unique to the specimens. Between representation and abstraction Milena´s paintings are beside the point — the ever-changing leaves — she marks time without calling attention to it, the beauty that appears spontaneously because of the exploration of the instability and transience of the organic.To these pieces are added, some "hanging gardens" made with leaves and dry branches, allude to the problem of pollution. Organic art is all around us, and has always been a part of our ever changing planet . Moreover, each leaf defines its own space. Their constantly changing orientation activates the painting's surface through Milina´s outstanding achivement. Milena Arango currently lives in Bogotá. She graduated from the Visual Arts Program at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, in 2001. She returned to Colombia in 2010 and in 2011 traveled to Sardinia, to make his first residence of art, based on performance. In 2014 he went to South India to make second art residence.

Is Aamir Khan ready for TV?
Actor Aamir Khan is reportedly considering two reality shows, both of which have social causes as their backdrop produced by Big Synergy.tv Updated: May 30, 2010 14:59 IST
This company in the recent past has produced shows like Sach Ka Saamna, Dus Ka Dum and India's Got Talent; and Kaun Banega Crorepati back in the day. "Aamir was approached to host Kaun Banega Crorepati Season Four. Basu had also approached him for another show, which had a social message behind it. The only reason Aamir would take up a TV show is to cater to a social cause. If KBC doesn't work out, then he might accept the other show," says our source.
While at one point KBC Season Four was expected to have a Slumdog Millionaire-ish format, where a contestant from the slums would be invited to play the game and take home a million rupees in one day, now, with a social message in mind, the show might have a new set of rules and regulations.
On being asked, Siddharth Basu of Big Synergy dismisses all news about Aamir Khan doing Kaun Banega Crorepati, but admits that if ever given the opportunity, he'd like to work with Aamir Khan. "He's a powerful star and will bring great energy to any show he does. So, I want to work with him on a show whenever that's possible."

13 Jan New Years Skin Resolutions
Begin the new year feeling and looking your best with the top science-based treatments your Artisan team members love…
I personally start each year with my own Beauty Plan; the same kind of 'journey' plan that I create for my clients. Rather than favouring just one kind of injectable product, I consider them all – as an artist would look at their paint palate. This approach creates more natural, believable and sustainable results. For me, a range of well-selected injectables – expertly placed – work together beautifully, to achieve a more rejuvenated and fresher appearance.
My favourite skin-recharger at this time of year is DMK's Herbal Pigment Oil, used alongside the Herb & Mineral Mist, for reducing dark circles under the eyes. (Trick of the trade: this product is also fabulous for dry areas such as elbow and knees etc.) I'll also be having plenty of quick peels to create a flawless complexion in the coming months, leading up to my wedding.
I'm starting the year by blasting away all that festive food and indulgence with CoolSculpting. I'm particularly excited to be heading off to the 'University of CoolSculpting' in San Fransisco to undertake a specialist program, where I will learn the latest techniues in non surgical body sculpting, making Artisan one of the most credentialed clinics in Australia.
I swear by pulsed light facial rejuvenation at this time of year. After 15 years of working in cosmetic medicine, pulsed light has been the stand out treatment for me in skin transformation. Visible, quick results that are naturally created by stimulating the body's own responses. It's perfect for summer as it targets pigmentation, sun damage, rosacea and general skin renewal.
I am a Hydrafacial addict; it takes 30 minutes, involves no discomfort, is better than dermabrasion and I immediately see the results. Over the festive break I also used the Danne Montague King Solar Damage gel, which is an anti inflammatory moisturiser. Great for hydration without feeling heavy, and awesome for flying. I used it daily during the holidays, over the top of my other favorite DMK products to keep my skin looking fresh and hydrated.
I'm using the DMK Pro Amino cream with the Herb and Mineral Mist. It's perfect for neutral skin types and the 20's age group as a prevention combo; full of the essential ingredients necessary for the life of skin cells such as Vit C, amino acids and proteins. Throughout the fun of the festive season it has kept my skin stable and in great condition. Working in the clinic I have seen how the easy and simple preventative measures I take now will make a big difference in how my skin ages in the decades to come.

My labia hangs down pretty far and I hate it. Is it because of masturbation? Is it normal?
By Kendall @ Planned Parenthood | Aug. 25, 2011, 6:34 p.m.
Category: Pregnancy
My vagina has a lot of extra blue skin in the labia. It sticks hangs down pretty far and I hate it so much. is this because masterbation? i just want to be told thats its normal.
It is normal, and it's not because of masturbation. Even masturbating frequently doesn't have any effect on the shape or color of your genitals.
Sometimes, after puberty, the inner labia sticks out from between the outer labia. The inner labia can be wrinkled or smooth, and can vary in color. They can also change color as women mature. Normal labia can be large or small, short or long, or even two different sizes. Just like a guy's genitals, girls' vulvas can look a wide variety of different ways.

This is a guest post by Samantha J. Andrews (IPED '17) current recipient of the David L. Boren Fellowship.
The Fordham IPED program, followed by a year of intensive Arabic language study as a David L. Boren Fellow in Jordan, has given me a solid foundation from which to transition my career. As a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, I have always felt a strong sense of duty. Leaving active duty service, I searched for new ways to serve my country. Fortunately, Fordham IPED offered me a Public Service Fellowship, connecting with a variety of opportunities to chart my career transition.
I was first introduced to the David L. Boren Fellowship through Fordham's Prestigious Fellowships Office, which actively seeks out IPED students for application to competitive scholarships. I was immediately interested, as the focus of my graduate research was on the Middle East. Through our program's career trips to the United Nations and Washington DC, as well as talking with our director, Dr. Schwalbenberg, I learned how important it would be in my career to have greater experience in the region. Thus, with the guidance and support of Fordham IPED and its staff, I applied for a twelve month, intensive language program in Jordan.
Every day I spend in Jordan, I feel thankful for the opportunity. My language studies, while challenging, are rewarding. My sole mission in Jordan is to immerse myself in the language and culture, learning as much as I can from my experiences. Fortunately, I have found it easy to build relationship with Jordanians, due largely to their generosity. One of the highlights of my fellowship was an invitation to attend my language teacher's wedding. The experience provided valuable cultural insight, as well as an opportunity to cross cultural barriers and build relationships with a group of women that I may otherwise have never known.
I would recommend the David L. Boren Fellowship to students who want to gain a greater understanding of a particular country or region. The Fellowship is unique because it gives you the freedom to identify your language and research goals, and then, design a program around them.

Three recent Fordham IPED graduates were selected for the Catholic Relief Services' International Development Fellows Program (CRS IDFP) for 2016. Camille Tacastacas, Veronica Muoio, and Josh Voges (IPED 2016) were among the roughly 25 fellows selected from hundreds of applicants for this year's IDFP. The IDFP is a year-long program that provides a fast-track for people interested in careers in international relief and development via experience working in CRS' programs overseas.
Veronica has received an offer to join CRS' office in Lebanon, Camille in CRS Malawi, and Josh in CRS Rwanda. Their deployment to these country offices is set to begin in August.

Broken torsion spring

A spring broke on one of my garage doors, so I left a message for a garage repair service that I had used before. Nobody ever called back or showed up. I called your office and was told a technician would be out between 12:00-2:00. The technician showed up right around noon, and took care of all the repairs I needed. I ended up having more work done, because the other door was damaged and I have not had the time to deal with it. I spent I little more then I wanted to, but the tech was professional and great to work with. You gained a new customer today. I was treated professionally when I called and your technician represented your company in a great way.

Lust List Vol. 39/
SO MANY GOOD THINGS RIGHT NOW! That dress. It's perfection, and even better, it's on sale. It comes in a gorgeous nude color too. The perfect summer silk number. I always love Vince... no matter what, they kill it. This cozy cardigan is the perfect piece for chilly summer nights and the upcoming fall months. I'm loving the grey color too! I've been searching high and low for a pair of low, block heel sandals that are actually chic and not clunky. It took a few weeks, but I finally found the perfect pair. These are gorgeous, plus they're decently cheap compared to other versions I've found! Another thing on my list is a unique pair of sunnies. I've always been a basic Ray Ban girl, but would love to pick up a pair of sunglasses that are a little different. I recently just discovered the brand Raen - they make beautiful sunglasses and are so worth checking out.

Hal Denton, known by many at Captain Hal, sent in this photo, with a brief explanation: "When I knew I had a meeting at the Renaissance Hotel in Atlanta, I thought 'what a great time to put my license to good use.' If I could land at ATL, I could walk to my meeting.
However, I was intimidated at landing at "the busiest airport" in the US. I filed a IFR flight plan to be sure everyone knew what I wanted.
The controllers were as nice or nicer than they have ever been, even with me bringing a little piston plane into their space. Leaving at 5 on a Friday afternoon was just as easy and so gratifying to watch the car traffic below while climbing back to altitude."

Roger's Synchronistic Event
As Doreen virtue's "Synchronicity" Oracle Card explains, synchronicity is "those 'chance meetings', information that you just 'happen' to receive." Sometimes these events take place in order to guide us in a particular direction or to give us answers to our prayers, and sometimes they are simply meant to confirm what we already know. This happened for Roger recently.
As you may already know, Roger will soon be moving to Yellowstone. When I asked him why, he said that his Angels and guides had given him the guidance to go there, though he really had no idea why. He was just trusting his intuition.
As it happened, Roger was part of a group meant to go to a church and give messages from Spirit. This church was about an hour or so away and one he had not been to in many years. During the event, the audience was broken down into groups with a medium in each group.
After the event, Roger ran into a man who said he was sorry that he hadn't been put into Roger's group because he had really wanted to speak with him. Roger told the man that maybe next time he would be in his group, but the man said, "No, actually I'm moving to Montana. I won't be here."
Roger asked the man why he was moving out there, and the man told him that he had no idea why but just felt the call to go. So, here Roger was in a "chance" meeting with someone who was going to the same place he was being guided to and both for reasons that neither knew. This is what's called a synchronistic event. Roger met his new roommate that day, and they will be traveling to Yellowstone together. Isn't it interesting how life works out?
Angel Blessings,
Schedule with Roger before he leaves on May 8th!

Hobbies are great for everyone. From skydiving to scrapbooking, tons of hobbies exist. Finding a hobby you are passionate about can lead to a new career. Keep reading the article below for some great hobby related tips.
Find a hobby that's relaxing like sculpting. Nothing surpasses the feeling of clay between your hands and creating something ordinary or extraordinary depending on the depth of your talents. Sculpting is something best shared and tried with others. Find a class in your area that will teach you basic sculpting skills, and bring a friend along with you!
Try gardening as a hobby. What may seem like a chore to some, is actually someone else's idea of heaven. Plant some seeds during the spring, tend them in the summer and you can then enjoy the produce. You'll save money on your food and enjoy using your green thumb in the sun.
If you travel a lot, consider starting a collection of some item from your travels to bring back with you after the trips are done. Some interesting examples that would make for a great collection are beautiful rocks you find, handmade pottery or even wines made at your destination. Whatever your collection consists of, it will give you something to remind you of places you have been and display in your home as a special keepsake.
Do you like taking pictures? That's a simple hobby that your family can enjoy. Let your kids use the camera. The photos they take may surprise you. Everyone can use the camera. Later, while you all relax, you will enjoy looking at all the pictures.
Think about starting a collection if you need a new hobby. Nowadays you can find many good resources online that tell you what things are worth, and items that are collectible and money-makers. You can even buy, sell and trade items on eBay and other sites.
Try not to pick hobbies that are too expensive. Golf is a lot of fun, but not everybody can afford it. The same thing goes for going deep sea fishing or getting a bunch of cars. These hobbies take quite a bit of money. Keep that budget in mind and choose wisely.
If you love to read, but find your home is being overtaken by books, why not consider taking some of them to the second-hand book store. One added benefit to the extra space you gain will be the store credit you can use to purchase new books. Reading is a relaxing hobby that can be enjoyed by everyone once they find a book genre that they love.
Keep the hobby area clean and organized. In this way, you will not waste time looking for materials when you could be enjoying your hobby. It also keeps the area safe. Injuries will mean you can't enjoy your hobby, so stay safe.
Find a family member, friend or even a co-worker that shares your same interest in your hobby, and then invite them to join you. Even if you're just working with them a few times a month, this makes you take some time to do your hobby. Others will enjoy learning about your hobby, and it may even bring you closer to whomever you invited to participate.
Think over being a sports team fan like a baseball, football, or basketball fan. Learn about the sport and the team itself to make it more fun for you. You'll need to at least enjoy watching it also. As they progress, you can keep tabs on their success.
Be certain you are stocked with all needed hobby supplies. Without them, you won't accomplish what you want, you may make mistakes, or you could even be in danger. Research what you'll need and invest in the supplies your hobby requires.
Consider blogging as a hobby. Blogs are used for many different purposes. Some use them to promote their businesses; however, others simply use them as a journal. This is a very therapeutic way to end your day, and you blog might be very popular. You can make friends this way or even some money on the side.
Find friends with similar hobbies. Sponsor gatherings at your home to include neighbors to join you in doing your hobby. Invite people who have never even tried your hobby. You can strengthen the bond within the community and learn from others.
A lot of people start hobbies that use their natural talents and develop them over time. Decorating wooden boxes, plaques or birdhouses with pictures is a great idea for those who are artistic. By doing this, you could create a wonderful gift for your loved ones, or you could promote your skills to others and make some money.
You can relax and pass your idle time with a good hobby. If you're not sure of what kind of hobby will be the best for your interests, get online to seek out forums that go over a few hobbies. This allows you to talk to other people who are experienced in the hobby you are considering. You can find out the time it takes to participate in this hobby, the difficulty level of it, and how much it costs.
Playing music by yourself as a hobbyist can be so much fun. You can share your new musical talents with others. Show off your music instrument playing abilities.
Be careful with your finances when you're working with your hobby. If you love a hobby, it's very enticing to spend way too much on it. Therefore, make sure you establish a budget for your hobby, and avoid going over this budget. While it is easy to get carried away, you still have bills to pay.
Buy some pencils and a sketchpad and practice your drawing skills. You can really apply yourself to learning how to draw specific objects or simply sketch out whatever makes you feel good. Drawing may help you express yourself and relieve tension. You can also draw almost anywhere.
A hobby can be a wonderful pastime. You can do it in your free time and dedicate however much time you want. There are many benefits, such as meeting people, earning money and self expression. Keep these tips in mind when you want to find a hobby.

Findings from our research in to the mental health and wellbeing of small business operators in NSW have been launched today by the icare Foundation.
icare Foundation invests in new e-mental health strategy to better support the mental health and wellbeing of small business operators.
A new study funded by the icare Foundation has uncovered that people working in the small business sector may be more likely to be affected by poor mental health than the general population, prompting a compelling need for innovative solutions to assist those people who are the lifeblood of the NSW economy.
They are the findings from a landmark study conducted by Everymind through commissioned research by icare's Health & Community Engagement practice, which co-designs workforce wellbeing solutions for, and with, injured workers and employers; and the icare Foundation, an icare social venture supporting injury prevention and mental wellness.
The Whitepaper, launched today by icare Foundation General Manager Amanda Keogh, provides evidence that small business-owners and their workers are experiencing many stresses and that tailored supports specifically related to small business are limited, despite the fact small businesses represent 98 per cent of all trading businesses in NSW.
"The Whitepaper highlights an immediate need in NSW for new engagement tools for all small business-owners, especially those affected by mental ill-health, and the icare Foundation is already well-advanced in underwriting and designing a new pilot program that will include e-mental health strategies'', Ms Keogh said.
"There is a lack of tailored assistance for small business-owners and their workers who are living with significant levels of mental stress. By focusing on early intervention, we want to increase their access to prevention, wellbeing, treatment and peer-support options to improve wellness at work."
"We're delighted to be partnering with Everymind, a leading institute dedicated to the prevention of mental ill-health, to help develop a program which we hope will be on-demand for all small businesses in NSW, and expect to scale to at least 7,000 small businesses in NSW over the next 12 months.
"The innovation around e-mental health is an exciting area for health professionals, as more user-friendly but sophisticated digital tools become available. We strongly believe this will make a significant difference to peoples' lives", Ms Keogh said.
Commenting on the findings of the report, Leanne Faulkner, a small business-owner and leading advocate for mental health support for Australians running small business, said: "The idea that small business-owners are always resilient, invincible, and living the easy life enjoying financial success is a myth. Small business ownership is like a rollercoaster ride – full of highs and inevitable lows.
"Caring for the mental health of the small business sector has been largely ignored up until now. It's exciting to see this project addressing this gap with a planned approach that understands the realities of small business life and meets our needs in an easily accessible way."
The research, released today, notes that many of the factors contributing to poor mental health were prevalent, if not unique, to the sector and include:
For example, more than 85 per cent of respondents indicated they often take work home with them, and work-related problems kept them awake at night. For many, invoices are often paid late.
"There's always another new pressure every day, whether it's the rent being due or the registration on the company vehicles, the insurances being due; as well as the occasional bad client," said one participant in the survey. "It's the roll-on effect of never being able to get your head above water".
The paper makes several recommendations to address these needs, including implementing a digital strategy to provide evidence-based prevention, treatment, and support programs for those at risk.
icare commissioned Everymind to author the report, and their Director, Jaelea Skehan, said: "The survey of small business-owners sends a very clear message – there is an immediate need to prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of small business and that e-mental health approaches may be particularly beneficial to many who work in them.
"Research data collected from small business owners and employees broadly supports the use of a digital-based strategy that is fit-for-purpose for small business, and able to respond to the diversity of the sector. The focus will be on assisting small businesses to identify their specific needs and to easily access evidence-based prevention, treatment, training, information, and support programs to meet those needs.
"Many small business owners talked about working long and irregular hours, often in isolation, and indicated that stigma was a barrier to accessing support. A strategy that uses digital tools, with the back-up of local services and networks, should help to overcome some of the barriers for small business – ensuring that supports are available when they need it and where they need it."
The icare Foundation, in conjunction with Everymind, is now in advanced planning for a trial of a comprehensive mental health strategy for small business that will include e-mental health as a central feature.
The trial will be initially rolled out in Parramatta, Lake Macquarie and Singleton to determine how workers in metro, regional and rural areas utilise the service, and inform the development of the best solution for small business-owners. The team at Everymind will be running consultation workshops in all three areas in January 2018 and the full trial is due to commence in April next year.
The program will be underwritten by the icare Foundation, which made a $1.1 million investment in Everymind earlier this year.
The initiative is informed and backed by a leadership group of senior executives from the fields of research, medicine, insurance, government and management representing icare, Everymind, the University of Newcastle, the NSW Small Business Commissioner, the NSW Mental Health Commission, the Council of Small Business Australia (COSBOA) and NSW small business-owners.

While Pennsylvania's April 22 primary is getting the most attention because it's up next, the Indiana contest on May 6 may be more of a battleground for the Democrats.
The Washington Post says "something unusual appears to be developing in the Democratic presidential race in this state: a fair fight."
Hillary Rodham Clinton is leading by big margins in Pennsylvania, and Oregon is tilting toward Barack Obama. But in Indiana, even the home state congressmen have no idea which way the Hoosier State is going to fall.
"We think he has some advantages starting out," [Senator Evan] Bayh said, referring to Obama, in an interview after spending the day traveling around the state with Clinton. "Twenty percent of Indiana households watch Chicago TV. The city of East Chicago is actually in Indiana."
As a result, Bayh said, a big swath of Indiana is already very familiar with Obama's message and the messenger himself.
But demographics and some of the state's similarities to Ohio, where Clinton won big on March 4, suggest that the senator from New York has a leg up. In southern Indiana, factory towns and areas around Evansville look like prime targets for her economic message aimed at blue-collar voters. Her allies also see strong potential for her in the Indianapolis suburbs.
Bill and Chelsea Clinton traveled yesterday across Indiana, where "brats, beer, the memory of Robert F. Kennedy and education dominated a long day on the campaign trail." The father-daughter duo celebrated Dyngus Day, the Polish holiday falling on Easter Monday, reports the Indianapolis Star.
Senator Obama still on vacation in the Virgin Islands through today, and Senator Clinton capitalized on the undivided media attention yesterday by laying out her plan to alleviate the housing challenges facing the country. She called for $30 billion in aid to help out homeowners affected by the credit crisis. The Post reports:
Clinton used a speech at the University of Pennsylvania to argue that the federal government should apply the same kind of resources to assist individuals as it did in bailing out investment giant Bear Stearns.
"Let's be clear: When families are losing their homes, that's also a financial crisis," Clinton said. She spoke not far from the site where Obama last week delivered a rousing address on race — and her campaign was pleased with the juxtaposition in the hope that blue-collar voters will be swayed more by pocketbook matters than the loftier subject of social harmony.
Patrick Healy of The New York Times writes that she also "proposed several other moves to deal with foreclosures, like tapping two former chairmen of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan and Paul A. Volcker, and former Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin, to lead a "high-level emergency working group" to recommend ways to restructure at-risk mortgages to help avert more foreclosures."
The Obama campaign was not impressed. His aides responded to the speech "by saying Clinton was simply echoing proposals offered by their candidate and by accusing her of hypocrisy on the issue because she had accepted contributions from the mortgage lending industry," write Anne E. Kornblut and Jon Cohen of The Washington Post.
John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, is set to talk about the economy today. On Monday, he was back on the campaign trail after spending last week on foreign travel in Iraq, Jordan and Europe. His message to supporters in Chula Vista, Calif., on the heels of news that the 4,000th U.S. soldier died in Iraq, was that "we are succeeding" in the war.
To underscore his view of the stakes in Iraq, the certain Republican presidential nominee twice referenced a recent audio tape from Osama bin Laden in which the al-Qaeda leader urged followers to join the al-Qaeda fight in Iraq and called the country "the greatest opportunity and the biggest task." …
"My Democrat opponents who want to pull out of Iraq refuse to understand what's being said and what's happening — and that is the central battleground is Iraq in this struggle against radical Islamic extremism," he added.
USA Today cautions Democrats not to bet the farm on a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket, even though one London bookmaker is taking bets at 8-1 that it'll happen.
The conundrum: The need for a coalition ticket that could mend the party's divisions becomes more urgent as the primary battle stretches on and takes a harsher tone. Yet as their fight gets fiercer, it becomes harder to imagine the two ever getting together.
"It ain't a match made in heaven anymore," says Donna Brazile, a Democratic strategist who ran Al Gore's 2000 campaign, noting increasingly bitter statements made in recent weeks by each campaign's staff and supporters toward the other. Monday's back-and-forth centered on charges of McCarthyism and "gutter politics."
The Times's Robin Toner questions whether Mr. Obama's voting record — he ranks as the most liberal senator, according to one report — really positions him as the best person to unite the country.
Mr. Obama, in an interview that was conducted on March 15, in the midst of that controversy, said he was confident that Americans were eager for a new kind of politics and were convinced that "a lot of these old labels don't apply anymore."
He said he was a progressive and a pragmatist, eager to tackle the big issues like health care and convinced that the Democrats could — and should — rally independents and disaffected Republicans to their agenda. Only then, he said, could the party achieve what it has so rarely won in modern presidential elections: a mandate to do big things.
In "a rare instance of Mrs. Clinton's acknowledging an error," writes Mr. Healy of The Times, in a second story, she admitted to the Philadelphia News editorial board that landing at a Bosnian airport in 1996 wasn't as dramatic as she previously described.
Funny, because the Chicago Tribune today has a profile of Mr. Obama's narrative skills — called "The Storyteller." The Illinois senator is the subject of a Newsweek cover story — this one about his coming of age.
And in case you're a Mike Huckabee supporter looking for a little more closure, the former Republican candidate told The Washington Times that he missed out on the nomination because of the trend for Christian leaders to be "kingmakers."
"Rank-and-file evangelicals supported me strongly, but a lot of the leadership did not," the former Arkansas governor says. "Let's face it, if you're not going to be king, the next best thing is to be the kingmaker. And if the person gets there without you, you become less relevant."
Campaign trail roundup:
* Hillary Rodham Clinton attends a town hall meeting in Greensburg, Pa. Bill Clinton attends events in Frankfort, Paris, Maysville and Morehead, Ky.
* John McCain participates in an Orange County small business roundtable in Santa Ana, Calif.
* Barack Obama has no public events.

Fungitoxic effects ofAllium sativum Linn., Terminalia catappa L. and Cymhopogoll citratus (DC) Stapf. on four rot-causing fungi (Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oXysporum and Penicillium oxalicum, Botryodiplodia Iheobromae) of stored yam tubers were studied in vitro. Pathogenicity test revealed that A.<,pergillus niger. Botryodiplodia theobromae, Fusarium oxysporum and Penicillium oxalicum induced rot in healthy yam tubers after] 0 days of fe-inoculation, with B. theobromae as the most virulent. Four different concentrations of each plant extract were obtained by blending 25g, 50g, 75g, and 100g of each plant part in 100 ml of sterile distilled water (SDW). A. sativum extracts had effective inhibitions on the mycelial growth of all fungi ranging from 31.1% -92.4%. Extracts of T. catappa and C. citratus showed between slight to moderately effective inhibitions ranging from 3.0% to 46.7% respectively. The effects of T. catappa and C. citratus extracts on the mycelial growth of B, theobromae was stimulatory rather than inhibitory at all concentrations while A. sativum proved just slightly inhibitory at higher concentrations. The most fungitoxic of all the extracts was A. sativum at 10% concentration which showed significant (P < 0.01) inhibitions on all the fungal pathogens investigated indicating its potential as a natural fungicide against rot common in yams while in storage.

I first discovered Reckless Wolf on my Instagram feed and fell in love within seconds. I'm pretty sure my reaction would qualify as proof that 'love at first sight' does exist. It's pretty obvious even just from the above picture as to why I can't get enough.
With an unrivaled unapologetic boldness, their lingerie commands all who wear it, see it and take it off *ahem*. The whole brand is on point, with individual collections such as Howl, Prey and Hunted. The lingerie is not for the faint hearted. It's for the daring kind of girls who own their body and take 'sex appeal' up a billion notches.
If you don't believe me, just look at all of the below and try remain cool without the need for a cold shower:
It's not just lingerie they do either, it's outerwear that I also absolutely die for. To say I want every single item from the site is no understatement. Usually I find a brand and accept there's 30% I wouldn't wear, but Reckless Wolf could dress me every damn day (and night!) and I'd fall in love over and over again. That's the sign of a brand that's got it's shit together. Also, for an added treat, they're made in Britain. I'm a huge supporter of U.K brands as you all know by now.
Check these outerwear ensembles out…that caged skirt is my next purchase I swear:
Join the wolfpack and you won't regret it.

We begin our prayers today in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lent give us time to check in to see how well we have been living God's love commandments.
If we are honest, we'd all admit know we fall short of being the best person we can be. But, we do our best. Learning to love and be loved is not a competition but a journey of growing relationships.
In Matthew's gospel we hear Jesus speaking of God's commands: "… whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." So, we do our best and teach others about God's love through our experiences and we never judge another person. We are all equal in the eyes of God.
Let's pray:
Lord God, help us to follow your commandments which bring us closer to you and one another.
Jesus, you called us to love God, other and ourselves open our hearts to these beautiful relationships so we can serve you and one another.
Lord Jesus, let us not forget to care for our earth and all of creation.
We make our prayer in Jesus' name. Amen!
May we become Jesus love in the world as we continue our day in eh name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

With that film proving to be almost as potent at the box office as the LOTR trilogy, we now get The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which turns out to be that rare sequel which improves upon the original. Prince Caspian is decidedly a darker picture than its predecessor, which seems to be the path taken by many second installments in film franchises (The Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Back to the Future Part II, The Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation). In this one, the four Pevensie kids -- Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley) -- find themselves at a London subway station one minute and back in the magical land of Narnia the next. But this isn't the lovely, bright Narnia they left behind; now 1,300 years later (in Narnian time, of course), they've returned to find a gloomy environment in which humans (the Telmarine race) have taken over and all mystical creatures are believed to be extinct. One of the Telmarines, the dashing Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), is the rightful heir to the throne, but after an assassination attempt by his uncle (Sergio Castellitto), he elects to hightail it to the woods, where he discovers that talking animals and other enchanted Narnia denizens still exist after all. Eventually, the prince, the woodland inhabitants and the Pevensie siblings band forces to restore Narnia to its previous glory. A couple of familiar faces from the previous picture return in small roles, yet it's cast newcomer Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent) who walks away with this film; he's excellent as Trumpkin, a surly dwarf who slowly warms up to the four children who invade his territory. As for the kids, this is clearly a case where girls rule, boys drool. Susan cuts a fierce figure as a warrior queen, while Lucy is allowed to establish the strongest bonds with the Narnians. On the other hand, the interesting Edmund is given too little to do, while Peter is only slightly less generic than fellow pretty-boy Caspian.
