One of my all-time favorite games. I love every game in the Tradewinds series, but this is easily my favorite. Every character you can play as has a unique story, all of them entertaining, and it makes for great replaying.
Great entry in Tradewinds series but easy. I love the Tradewinds strategy games, and hope to see more-- I love the Grecian theme and tongue-in-cheek references to our modern times (like the sidequest with the moneylenders), the art assets are great-looking-- but this one fell short with me in terms of challenge hence I had to dock a star.
Great game of Greek Mythology. Very nice game! The story was pretty good. Lot of fetch quests, with a lot of talk to this person, talk to that person. Traveling back and forth made it feel like a bit of an adventure. Graphically pleasing and the music, felt authentic.

Thinking of getting your Pilates certification? You will need to do some homework first. There are very few standards in the Pilates certification industry, but if you are looking for a top of the line certification, then Stott Pilates or Studio Lotus Power Pilates certification is your answer. These two programs are considered to be the "ivy league" of pilates certifications. Their philosophy is true to the Joseph Pilates school of thought and technique. They are solid programs that combine instruction with practical experience. Most importantly, they are making it easy for the fitness and health professionals already working in their field to get their pilates certification.
Definition of a Good Certified Pilates Cirriculum
A good program consists of various areas of concentration depending on your specialty. The mat certification is the entry level program and can be combined with other fitness equipment such as the exercise ball and bands. Each level of certification intensity expands your skills and builds on the previous level. At the highest level of concentration the student will receive instruction on utilizing many of the Pilates apparatus including the:
- Reformer
- Cadillac
- Barrels
- Ped-o-Pull
- Magic Circle
Aligning yourself with a well establish curriculum will give you a lot creditability, open doors of employment opportunities, give you confidence in your job, and be a support system for you as you mature in the discipline. Additionally, programs like Stott and Power build their curriculum based on modern exercise science and will be available to you for your continuing education classes that are part of maintaining your certification.
Employment Opportunities
Being a certified Pilates instructor will provide more employment opportunities outside the gym than being a group exercise instructor or a personal trainer. Pilates is becoming more popular, and there is more demand than ever for instructors who can work with the elderly, pre-natal, children, in rehabilitation, and provide spa services. Even many dance studios have added Pilates to their basic core training.
Certified Pilates instructors' earnings will vary greatly depending on their specialty. An annual salary could be as low as $35,000 a year or as high as $100,000 a year. Teaching others is one of the higher paid disciplines, but opening your own spa or gym has unlimited income.
Whether it is a part time job or a career, be prepared to invest around $4,000 dollars, approximately 600 hours of instruction, and several weekends for testing to earn the certificate. Some programs offer "bridges" or short cuts for the fitness or health professional already teaching Pilates at a reduced cost. Either way, it's a big investment of time and money, but has the potential to be as equally rewarding.

News coverage of the Trayvon Martin case began as a routine police-blotter item, what an Orlando editor called "a fight gone bad." The Washington Post says it is likely that Martin's death, which resulted in the arrest of hooter George Zimmerman, would never have crowded into the national consciousness had it not been for Martin's family, its lawyers, and an enterprising PR man.
A pivotal, if little-known, figure in the story's development was Ryan Julison, an Orlando public relations executive who began working with the Martin family at the behest of its attorneys, Benjamin Crump and Natalie Jackson. Julison finally found two takers: the Reuters wire service and CBS News. Reuters moved a 14-paragraph story on the case March 7. The next morning, "CBS This Morning" aired a piece by reporter Mark Strassman in which Trayvon's father, Tracy, expressed his grief over his son's death and outrage that Zimmerman was still free — two elements that would stoke the coverage for weeks. "It was one of those stories that, when you hear the pitch, you just say, 'Wow, this has to be told,' " said Chris Licht, executive producer of the morning program.

Carper, Kaufman Call on President Obama to Address Russian Trade Barriers with President Medvedev
Restrictions could negatively impact nearly 500,000 U.S. jobs
June 21, 2010
WASHINGTON - Today, Sens. Tom Carper and Ted Kaufman (both D-Del.) joined 23 of their Senate colleagues in sending a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to address Russian trade barriers on U.S. poultry imports during his upcoming meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The bipartisan group of senators emphasized that internationally recognized science methodology has proven U.S. poultry to be safe and that current restrictions are unwarranted.
"As the largest market for chicken exports, Russia's ban on poultry is of serious concern to Delaware farmers," said Sen. Carper. "For every person in Delaware, there are 300 chickens. They've certainly got us outnumbered. A prolonged ban on U.S. poultry by Russia would result in a significant loss in revenue for Delaware's poultry industry and farmers who depend on it for their livelihood. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the United States Department of Agriculture have been actively engaged in discussions with Russian officials to address their concerns with U.S. poultry. Unfortunately their efforts have yet to reverse the ban. I hope the President accepts our request and directly addresses Russia's trade restrictions on U.S. poultry with President Medvedev later this month."
"U.S. poultry plants are willing to make changes to address the needs of Russian consumers. I hope the President can put the issue back on the table to work out a compromise. The poultry industry is a strong source of jobs and revenue in Delaware, and we will continue to do all we can to lift this seemingly arbitrary ban," said Sen. Kaufman.
Over the last three years, U.S. poultry exports to Russia averaged more than $800 million in value, making Russia the single largest U.S. export market. The poultry industry represents over 500,000 jobs in the United States.

IPO's by Twitter and Facebook have been some of the biggest anywhere in the world in recent years. Alongside these two U.S. based social media giants, Weibo, China's Twitter/Facebook hybrid, and longer ago Netflix in the technology sector have also been the subject of large IPO's.
One thing these businesses have had in common, along with many in the social media and technology sectors that are publicly traded, is exposure to volatile market conditions and, as a result, an uncertain financial situation.
However, it appears that there may be a brighter outlook on the horizon, at least if the early trading patterns of this week are anything to go by. The Financial Times is reporting that all of these companies, as well as Trip Advisor, have started the week with "a rebound" following 10 weeks of highly volatile price swings.
Weibo appeared to be the company to enjoy the largest boost, thanks largely to an optimistic overview of Weibo's prospects, which was provided by Minneapolis headquartered investment bank Piper Jaffray.
Gene Munster, renowned marketplace and industry analyst and Piper Jaffray employee, told the FT, "It is the best pure play social networking platform in China. At current levels, Weibo shares trade at a slight discount to the company's peer group and…we believe that Weibo deserves to trade at a premium multiple to the group given our expectation for higher growth." Munster's optimism was based on Weibo's market positioning.
The company is well set in China within the small and medium sized businesses markets, and this is likely to be where most of Weibo's growth opportunities will come from in the future.
Citigroup had previously warned that overall first quarter earnings trends would bring "growth into question" for Weibo and other small to mid-cap stocks, and while the first quarter may show underwhelming results, there is hope for the rest of 2014.
Overall, Weibo, who launched on the NASDAQ exchange on April 17, 2014, saw its shares rise by 9.3% to $19.52. Facebook, Twitter, Netflix and Trip Advisor all saw price rises from 4.5% – 6%.
Whether this bounce in the technology sector is sustainable or is simply the result of the comments from Munster and others in the industry remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that private equity will be keeping a close eye on this performance.
How industries and companies perform in the public markets is usually a reliable indicator of how the same industry will fare from a deal flow perspective in the private equity marketplace. Although there are no notable IPO's upcoming from private equity houses that are looking to exit technology investments, the tech industry is a common target for private equity with an IPO exit often being the long-term strategy even when opportunities are being sought.
The most likely scenario appears to be that the tech sector in general will continue to be volatile, although the blue chip names in the industry could well see their own performance stabilising in comparison to the smaller publicly traded companies in the sector.

Kamiyah Mobley, now 18, was kidnapped while still a baby and has just been discovered presiding in South Carolina under the name of Alexis Manigo.
Kamiyah had been kidnapped from a hospital situated in Florida 18 years ago by a woman who had disguised herself as a nurse, and Kamiyah was discovered to be living with her under the same flat.
The kidnapper, Gloria Williams, 51, has been taken into custody by the authorities under charges of kidnapping.
Kamiyah has long believed that Williams was her real mother, and after her arrest had defended her on Facebook by stating that her mother is in no way a criminal, and if anything, has provided and supported her with everything she's ever needed.
Real Love for False Mother
The real mother of Kamiyah, Shanara Mobley, had been at the University Medical Center situated in Jacksonville in the month of July back in 1998.
For years the kidnapping had transformed into a nationwide mystery and unsolved crime.
A week prior to the kidnapping, Williams had undergone a miscarriage of her own, then had driven for a full three hours from South Carolina all the way till Florida and carried out the kidnapping of baby Kamiyah.
A Shock of Life
According to the authorities of Jacksonville, they stated that Kamiyah had absolutely no idea about this matter and as of last Friday had just been notified that Williams was never her real biological mother all along.
After just several hours within the discovery of Kamiyah, both her mother Shanara and father Craig Aiken had broken down into tears of happiness whilst communicating with a detective who had notified them that their baby daughter was found in South Carolina alas.
Williams is said to likely be facing a life sentence of imprisonment, and Kamiyah was permitted on spending a few hours with her whilst in court.

- Publisher: Allen & Unwin
- Published: August 23, 2017
In The Mummy Bloggers, Holly Wainwright has taken serious parenting issues, combined them with echoes of every online scandal over the past few years and thrown them at the colourful canvas that is the world of competitive 'mummy' blogging.*
The result is a very funny story that every parent – and parenting blogger – will enjoy. As the author so eloquently puts it:
Motherhood, as Leisel would later write in her blog, smacked her across the face with a wet nappy.
The Mummy Bloggers is the story of three very different women who all have children, write about their lives online, and are competing for a $500,000 cash prize in a blogging competition. They have three months to prove to the judges that they have the biggest, most engaged online audience.
Chaos and lies ensue.
If you've ever wanted a behind-the-scenes look at the world of blogging, you'll love this novel. Holly Wainwright has moved among parenting bloggers for several years, most recently as Head of Entertainment at Mamamia.
Personally, I think she's nailed the all-consuming beast that is blogging – a strange mixture of art, marketing, tech, celebrity and mundane, everyday life.
I also really enjoyed this book – I read it two days, staying up waaaaay past my bedtime on the second day to find out who won!
Meet the 'Mummy' bloggers
Leisel – the full-time working mother blogger
Leisel is the only one of the 3 women who must earn money to support her family. She works full-time as a women's magazine editor while her husband cares for their 3 small children in their tiny 2-bedroom Sydney flat.
Leisel blogs on her phone – late at night when the kids are asleep – and in the snippets of time she can carve out during her busy work day.
She started writing online to connect with other women, to give herself an outlet and provide a space to talk about what nobody seemed to discuss – started with her own miscarriage. Her followers are thousands of other working mothers who share her guilt, exhaustion, confusion and anger at trying to 'have it all'.
This line really resonated with me:
Leisel now knew that money could buy something that was definitely worth having – time.
Abi – the eco-parenting blogger
Abi is the 'Green Diva', living off her divorce settlement with her girlfriend and their 4 kids on a farm near Daylesford. She's embraced the stereotype of loud-mouthed organic hippy and boosts her engagement by mobilising her audience against 'Big Pharma' and towards natural, eco-friendly living.
But Abi – with 4 fully vaccinated kids and packets of Twisties hidden at the back of the cupboard – is a liar:
Abi was the Doctor's daughter. She knew every bit of this was bullshit. But she also knew that this was the stony path to the next level for her blog. Where controversy went, numbers followed.
She was going to win this thing.
Elle – the fashionable wife and mummy blogger
Elle is 'Stylish Mumma' – polished to perfection in her custom-built Brighton white-and-glass box with 2 perfect little boys and her perfect husband… who also happens to be Abi-the-Green-Diva's ex-husband.
Under the guise of helping them be their best selves, the Stylish Mumma leverages her audience's sense of inadequacy and aspiration for her own gain:
Her tribe needed to live and breathe that fairytale so they could believe that one day they too would have a kitchen with a spray tap and a Thermomix, even if they'd grown up with a shitty dad and currently made do with a stick blender.
Her entire life is meticulously curated for the camera, and she urges her followers to do the same. Elle's regular 'Helpful Wednesday' posts include tips such as:
Always take your gym selfie BEFORE you start your workout.
Of course, what she doesn't bother to tell her audience is that she doesn't maintain the illusion of perfection by herself – she employs a full-time assistant to run her social media and act as nanny to her children.
A final word on parenting blogging
In her acknowledgements, Holly Wainwright thanks 'parents who do share their lives online':
It's a gift. There was a time when mothers had to shut up and smile. Now, telling the stories that allow other women to feel just a little more normal, more connected and understood is no small thing. 'Mummy bloggers' or not, the lives of countless women around the world are a little less isolating because of you.
As a parenting blogger of 4+ years over at Seeing the Lighter Side, I know that's why I do it.
* This is not to say that all parenting bloggers are competitive, because we're not… most of the time… very much. Okay, maybe a little. But mostly we're just a very supportive bunch who love to have a good laugh.

Skye's the Limit: An Unprepared but Bonny Road Trip Through The Highlands.
I've lived in Scotland for almost two years now, and yet my experience of the Scottish Highlands is fairly limited. Granted, I'm a university student and I don't own a car, but it's quite painstaking to be so close to some of the most breathtaking views and natural wilderness in the UK and to not really leave the city a lot of the time. That's why I've resolved to try to explore Scotland as much as possible. In my time here so far I've managed to go hiking a couple of times; the Isle of Arran and Goat Fell, Ben Lomond, Argyle and Bute's Loch Awe and the Cruachan Power Station, gentle strolls around picturesque Oban, and The West Highland Way. Well… admittedly only half of The West Highland Way; we rather unfortunately got snowed out halfway through attempting it back in March last year. Basically, we weren't equipped for extreme weather conditions and after hearing a story about a man who died walking alone in the snow decided to cut our losses. I hate leaving things unfinished, though, so I will definitely be back to complete it at some point.
Anyway, failures aside, my point stands: Scotland is beautiful, and it's worth exploring as much as you can. That's why, with one week left in Glasgow until I move to the Southern Hemisphere for a year and spend some time down under, Izzie and I decided to rent a car and go exploring. Having just ticked off exams, and being generally the spontaneous, or rather ramshackle, planners that we are, I hadn't thought much ahead of renting a car. Plus the car rental itself I did the day before and having not driven since I passed my test 3 years ago. So, under-prepared, to say the least. But that's part of the fun, right?
"It's surreal, arresting landscape looks almost like it's simulated from a Mario Cart game; jutting out along the coast of loch after loch…"
Now the night before I had evidently caught some of Doug's river disease, (if you're not sure what I'm on about, he explains in depth here) and so, after violently throwing up, I stubbornly refused to cancel the trip and managed to get myself down to the car rental place in town. After filling in a few details, I was off. Well, kind of. I mean the man from the rental company had to come outside to help me start the car. Embarrassing.
And then I got lost. In my hometown. Where I live and navigate every day. Call myself a bloody adventurer? But in all seriousness, it is really hard to navigate around Glasgow's one-way system with no SatNav, map or internet so to speak of. Especially if you've never driven here before. I ended up on south side completely forlorn, and a couple of trips up and down the M8 later, I finally found my way over to Great Western Road to pick up my friend Izzie and set off for Skye. Halfway out of Glasgow I realised I'd forgotten my hiking boots. After turning back, we were finally on the road and heading towards Skye, a good deal later than expected. And it was stunning. Driving through the Highlands is one of the most beautiful drives I think I've ever done. It's surreal, arresting landscape looks almost like it's simulated from a Mario Cart game; jutting out along the coast of loch after loch, with few cars in sight.
We drove and drove all the way up to Mallaig where we watched the last ferry for the night pull off for Skye. Undeterred, we enquired how long it would take to drive around to the Isle of Skye instead: 2 ½ hours. It was already gone 8pm – no thanks! Looking around, we decided to hike up to the top of the hills overlooking this quaint wee town. After scrambling through some thorns and bushes and a little river, we reached a path that we definitely could have taken instead. No matter, onwards and upwards as they say. At the top, we had the choice between lumpy but dry land or flatter but slightly squelchy. We opted for dry but lumpy, reasoning we'd just nuzzle into a nice spot between the lumps. Unpacking our tents, I quickly discovered I'd left my poles at home. I haven't used my tent since I'd got replacement poles for it, and sensibly, as is often the case with me, forgotten to put them in my tent bag. Joy of joys. Sharing a tent it is. Turned out to be the better decision anyway – it was cold!
Next morning, back down to the car for breakfast and Morrison's value coffee made on a camp stove, which for two coffeeholic's, trust me, is even worse than it sounds. I promised that we'd seek out real coffee once we got to the other side of the water.
The ferry journey was marked by the hire car alarm going off repeatedly. Our car seemed to be the one going off the most. Honestly, I really don't know how to work a car, what had I got myself into?
Finally on Skye, we headed for the renowned Fairy Pools for a rainy and windy hike. A part of me is disappointed in the terrible weather that morning, I wish we'd had a brighter sky with fewer clouds and better light. But another part of me realises that this is Scotland, and the thing about Scotland is that the weather just is. Take it or leave it. (But if you leave it, you'll never get to explore the stunning wilderness at its heart.) As Billy Connolly has wisely noted, "there are two seasons in Scotland. June and winter," and even then…
Next, the Talisker distillery. Less outdoorsy admittedly, but also pretty stunning in its own right. I couldn't drink which was a shame. But I'm a firm believer in leading sensory experiences with your nose, and boy does this place smell. We spent the tour sniffing out each room, wafted with crisp smells of cucumber, celery, brown sugar, and finally the beautiful sharp burn of whisky. If you haven't been, I think Skye is worth a trip for Talisker alone. The history of Scotland's finest distillery is pretty interesting too.
To pack as much into this day as possible, we decided to head round and out of Skye again, over the bridge this time, and towards Fort William, hitting the Eilean Donan Castle on the way down, which to add to the dreamlike surroundings, looks like it's cut out of a pop-up picture book.
Next stop, Ben Nevis.
Okay, we didn't have time to climb all the way to the peak, courtesy of our bad planning ahead skills, but it's another one I'm going to return to, that I can promise. Instead, we decided to hike up a little way and perch up there for our dinner and some vino. There is something incredibly special about cooking on a camp stove in the wilderness with a view like that. It negates all the discomfort of the cold, and the wet, and makes you realise why you've got to love nature, why people like us spend our summers not showering and sleeping in a tent in order to get to peaks far away from any semblance of civilisation. Also, instant mushroom soup tastes surprisingly good out of a camp mug and washed down with some decent red wine.
"A big part of me can really picture myself moving to the Highlands, buying a big house and living there with lost of kids and a couple of pet huskies."
Day 3 was 'return home' day. And I was a little nervous about getting lost or not getting back in time so we set off earlyish to cram in a few more major points of interest en route. Glenfinnan Viaduct, more commonly referred to by us as 'that bridge with the flying car in the Harry Potter movies'. The Jacobite Steam Train came past too – pretty special. Now this might have been the perfect moment to set up the slackline and mark ourselves out to be true adventuring hipsters, but alas the set drizzle was deterring.
Driving back again I spied a brown tourist information sign for 'Neptune's Staircase', well why not mark off another tourist spot? So I swerved off and drove up. A little disappointing. At least for a lass who has grown up on the river Thames and seen an abundance of locks in her lifetime. Still the theory of it is pretty interesting: 8 locks in a row which take an average of 90 minutes to pass through. The gates weigh a tremendous 22 tonnes each and a minimum of 3 lock keepers is needed at any one time to operate them. Built in the early 1800's, it's a pretty smart system.
Back on the road and Glasgow bound we stopped for lunch and a wilderness wee by the side of the road; some beautiful scenery. And then again for ice cream. It was freezing cold, raining, and we'd resolved to cook all of our food over the course of the trip, but we both agreed that ice cream is a right of passage when you go on holiday.
A final drive back to Glasgow, back to city life, and though looking forward to a warm shower, I was already starting to miss the countryside. A big part of me can really picture myself moving to the Highlands, buying a big house and living there with lots of kids and a couple of pet huskies. It's a life I wouldn't hesitate to consider. But I know I'd get itchy feet. I miss the Highlands, and Scotland in general, already. But I know I'll be back, always persistent but fleeting, determined to discover a little deeper, to make more memories and to always remember that the sky is never the limit.
"Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love."

I learned about one of the biggest diseases at a very early age. That was heart disease. I lost my Dad in 1984 when I was just turning 13, From Heart problems. In 2005 I lost my 43 year old Sister from Heart Problems. In 2014 I lost my Mom, Heart Problems. It scares me.
I think this is why I strive to become healthier. It isn't easy. It seems like the cards are already stacked against me. Add a lot of weight on top of it, It doesn't look good.
Even with all I do know, it is still hard for me to do something about it. I am getting better each day though. That is why it is important to me to have the tools to at least know what is going on.
One thing I have is something from Gurin. While it isn't medical equipment, it is considered lifestyle equipment. It is a finger pulse oximeter. What is this exactly? It is something that fits on your finger and you use it to check your pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation level.

DNA testing has revolutionized paternity actions. Before the DNA test courts relied on blood tests, witness testimonies and circumstantial evidence to infer paternity. Often fathers were given paternity over children that were not theirs and biological fathers were denied rights to their own children. It was a complicated situation. Now, DNA allows for much more accurate testing. However, DNA tests are administered by humans and anything handled by humans is prone to error. Here are a few tips to contest the validity of a paternity test.
There are a few grounds to challenge the validity of a paternity test.
First, if you can furnish proof that the paternity test was manipulated or tampered with. Often this involves getting into the laboratory?s testing and handling procedures. The entire process needs to proceed perfectly for the test to be accurate. That means unbroken seals and a clear chain of custody. If there is an hour or two where the test disappeared, that could be grounds to challenge the result and/or order a re-test.
Second, you may also be able to attack the accuracy of the lab itself. If this particular lab is known for making errors, then you may be able to undermine the reliability of the test itself. You might be able to get the test transferred to another lab or invalidated permanently.
The third way is proof that the result was fraudulently obtained. The classic example is that your ex-partner switched your sample with someone else?s.
The fourth is proof of infertility or sterility. It may not be the most desirous option, but it does work to undermine the reliability of a paternity test.
The fifth is proof that the mother cheated on you during the marriage. This one usually works to rebut the initial presumption that a child is yours. When a child is born during a marriage, it is presumed to be the husband?s. If you can furnish evidence of cheating, you can rebut this presumption.
If you are in an ongoing dispute regarding paternity, you may want to hire an attorney. Once paternity is established over a child, you owe that child ongoing duties of support and care until adulthood (and sometimes further). A lawyer is a good person to have on your side to ensure that you exhaust every option before the paternity finding is final.

Aaaand this is why i went to pc gaming.
Aaaand this is why i went to pc gaming.
I'm 100% with you. This type of thing is exactly why I became a PC gamer. That and the fact that you can't upgrade a console to play the latest games. And there's also tons of things a PC can do besides gaming that a console would only dream of.
Normally when consoles are new the prices are really high but then they start to drop off according to how things go. Right now though you can see the prices dropping already. I think that they will go up a bit more around Christmas but for right now I can only see them dropping more and more.
At first I was quite shocked at the price being sometimes up to £20 more (that was on the extreme side, normally it would be £50-£55) than a PS3 game which usually would be around £40 in most retailers, Asda, Tesco and Amazon.
I've now seen most upcoming games be around the £45 mark which is quite fair.
Let's see, some upcoming games:
AC Unity PS4 - £44.99 on Amazon
Far Cry 4 PS4 - £44 on Amazon
Shadow of Mordor £42 on Amazon
Advanced Warfare - £42 on Amazon
They do seem to start chipping away at the full retail/launch price after a month or so (and then continue chipping away from there the older it gets), whereas you can wait several months for so much as a £1 drop at GAME. For instance, I saw GTA5 on the PS3 going for £15 in Tesco on Saturday. The only downside is that their selections and stocking levels are often smaller. For instance, I had to try three different places before I found one particular game. That was more of an exception rather than the 'norm' though…
£45 is the maximum I've ever paid for a game and that's been in purchases I've made more or less on launch day. These will be the few titles/series which I really like and played from the first game and will stomach the extra. Other than that, I don't think I've paid much beyond the £35 mark for just about anything for around three years, now.
As for spending upwards of £45 for PS4 games – not a hope in heck. I'll happily wait for the prices to get down to that mark and perhaps on the "no so sure" games - watch them on YouTube instead (save buying it altogether). I wince at even paying that for something that I know more often than not that I'll be largely done with after a couple of months.

Lewis Hamilton
To be honest, this fourth world title is not even registering right now. There is all this energy from the people around you, but it takes a while for it to really sink in. I am incredibly grateful when I think about everything that was going on this year and everything that had to be in place to produce this result. I didn't do this on my own, there are over a thousand people back in Brackley and Brixworth who have created this beast that has given me the opportunity to exploit my abilities. I have received such great support from around the world, and I want to thank all of you that believed in me. To do this on Mexican soil, to shine a positive light on a country that has been through such a difficult time over the past few months, makes this really special. It doesn't matter what happened in the race today. I carry 'Still I Rise' on the back of my helmet - it means when you get knocked down, you get back up again and keep pushing as hard as you can. I never gave up, and I kept pushing. Four is a great number - but I want number five now!
Valtteri Bottas
The right man won the title this year, Lewis absolutely deserves this! He's my team mate, so I know he's not only talented, but also a hard worker, and a really nice guy. So even though we're competing, I'm also happy for him - but I still want to beat him next year. The race today was pretty straightforward after the start. I saw in Turn 2 that Max and Sebastian were side-by-side, and one of them went a bit wide, so I knew Turn 3 was going to be a mess. So I decided to go inside and cut the corner and get a good exit. After that there was not much happening. Unfortunately, we couldn't challenge Max today, so I drove it home. We saw we didn't have the pace to win the race, so we have a lot of things to learn. But overall, it was not a bad day for us - I felt I got the most out of the car, it was good to be on the podium after such a long time, and of course Lewis won the title.
Toto Wolff
This was the hardest championship ever, but it was also extremely well deserved. We had quite some up and downs this season with the new cars and tyres. We had to accept the fact that this is the reality now, and to progress was very difficult for the team and really took the maximum out of us. Lewis probably showed the best and most constant performance of his entire career this season, he has made a step forward in every respect and there is no doubt whatsoever that today the right man was crowned world champion today. While the result was good, the race was not what we had hoped for. But I'd like to just look at the positives today and not dig into a controversy that is not necessary at this stage - Lewis won the championship!
James Allison
We knew that the championship arithmetic favoured us going into this race. But that didn't mean that it was a comfortable afternoon after the melee of the first corner - either for us sitting on the pit wall with all the information at our fingertips but much more for Lewis who had the lonely task of picking his way back through the field from stone-cold last. In truth, as long as the front stayed reliable, this looked like Lewis was safe throughout, especially since Valtteri drove very capably, holding down a very assured second place. But you can't rely on that and so we were very keen to get Lewis up into 9th place and it was an amazing achievement for him to do that at this track which is so difficult to overtake at. It's a great feeling for us after sealing up the Constructors' Championship last week to come here and finish the championship that the rest of the world really cares about and to make sure that Lewis was crowned champion for the fourth time. It's hard to imagine a season where the champion has more richly deserved the spoils. It's been a brilliant, competitive, inspiring year of motorsport and Lewis has been the one constant throughout. We couldn't be happier for him.

Christ In You, The Hope of Glory
Return To Index
Ho 13:14 "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave, I will be your destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes.
Col 1:24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, 26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily. 2:1 For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Lu 18:1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,
2 saying: "There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 "Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.' 4 "And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 'yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.'" 6 Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 "And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
Lets start today with our epistle and the sufferings of Paul. His sufferings for the sake of the Gospel are well documented in Scripture.
2Co 11:24 From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness 28 besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches.
Paul suffered for the sake of the Gospel! He suffered that he might unveil the mystery of the Good News to Jew and Gentile alike. And in our epistle he reveals that mystery to us again, in case we missed it.
Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Not around you, not above you, not below you, (although He is all these things) but Christ IN you! No wonder they called Him Immanuel!
Mt 1:23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
Oh, this is such a rich phrase! Christ in you, the hope of glory! First of all, you and I have no hope of glory, no hope of heaven, unless Christ is found in us! So how is Christ found in us? What must take place for this to happen?
We must believe (that is, trust in the promises of the Gospel) and be baptized. The Triune God came to you and made His home in you when you were baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Iver Olson, in his book, Baptism and Spiritual Life says the word, in here speaks of an actual organic union between the baptized and the three persons of the Trinity. Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Paul writing to the Galatians says:
Ga 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Christ in you, the hope of glory! Deposited in you at your baptism. Oh, so all I have to do is be baptized and I will get to heaven? No, you arent listening. Believe and be baptized. Be baptized and trust in the promises of the Gospel) What does Mark 16:16 say?
Mr 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
Your baptism must be accompanied by faith. Isnt it interesting that in our gospel lesson Jesus says, when the Son of Man comes will He really find baptized on the earth? Is that what He says? Oh wait a minute, He said, will He really find faith. He wasnt worried about finding baptism, that was a given.
We can assume that the necessity of being baptized was part of every Gospel presentation in the New Testament. Peter speaking on the Day of Pentecost, (Let everyone of you be baptized) Peter speaking to the house of Cornelius. (Can anyone forbid water that these should not be baptized!
The conversion of the Apostle Paul, (and he arose and was baptized) and the constant mention of baptism in Pauls and Peters epistles, and my favorite is the Ethiopian eunich, who has the Gospel explained to him by Phillip and the first response he gives is, Hey theres some water there, what hinders me from being baptized. Now why would he even bring it up if Phillip hadnt of mentioned it as a necessity in his presentation of the gospel?
But faith....well, thats another story. People cant lose their baptism, but they can lose their faith, making their baptism of no effect. Will the Son of man find faith when He returns? A bigger and more important question is, would He find faith in you today if He were to return at this instant?
I love the illustration that Dr. Olson uses regarding this necessity of baptism and faith. He says,
Baptism is sometimes compared to the plumbing and water fixtures we have in our homes. These are normally installed only once and are good for life. (His point is we dont need to be rebaptized) They are in use for cleansing purposes daily
(Good Lutheran theology! Daily return to that fount of the forgiveness of sins and new life that was accomplished for you in your baptism. Daily die to self and rise with Christ)
It is the function that is important, not the installation; YET THERE WILL BE NO FUNCTION WITHOUT INSTALLATION. The presence of plumbing in a house does not insure the flow of water. (Grace can be cut off through neglect on our part.)
The owner may not be in the good graces of the city water department. If the water does not come when he turns on a faucet, he does not try to remedy the situation by installing new fixtures; he seeks to effect a reconciliation with the water department, and as soon as that has been accomplished the water (grace) flows freely again.
The amazing thing about this heavenly water department is His patience. As I look back on my life, when I chose to be cut off from the grace of God...in His great patience, He kept sending me renewal notices, He kept trying to reach me, but I ignored them until one day He finally got through.
Believe me, you dont want to go down that road of rejecting Gods grace, it brings too much pain and suffering into your life and the lives of others, and there is always the danger of a final and fatal hardening of the heart, resulting in damnation.
We dont want to go down that road and so thats why we need daily reconciliation through repentance, it is repentance that gets what was accomplished in us at our baptism flowing again. And the door for repentance is always open. Its as close as hearing and believing the next Gospel promise that comes your way.
Baptism places Christ in us, but our hope for glory, must also have sustained faith in His promises as it allows us to benefit from His presence.
So far, we have just touched on the preliminaries here this morning because there is much more to be said about this hope of glory. Not only must Christ be in us for any hope of glory in our future, but Christ in us GIVES US A HOPE FOR GLORY NOW!
He gives us a supernatural hoping or longing for Judgement Day! How many of you got up this morning and prayed, O Jesus, come today! Stomp out pain, suffering, and death today! I fear for the church today, because this longing seems to be missing, and if the longing is missing.....guess who else is missing......Christ.
I fear for myself in this regard. Sometimes, I think, I am just too much in love with this world, and deep down, I want the Lord to tarry, you know, Let me enjoy the pleasures of this world one more day, one more hour, dont come back just yet. .....and when you think about it...........how ridiculous!
Lu 9:61 And another also said, "Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house."
62 But Jesus said to him, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
Dont be looking back at the things of this world. Lots wife tried that at Sodom and she looked back and saw the smoke left by the burning of material things and God said, You like ashes? You like the temporary things of this earth? Here, become a pillar of salt and join them!
But think about it.....are we not just like her? One of the most probing questions we can ask ourselves is this. Do we really want to give up what we got going for ourselves in this world?
Do we desire that Jesus come today!
If these things really dont mean that much to us, then why are we so hell-bent on acquiring them and keeping them, while we neglect the poor? Why are we so hesitant to pray, Come Lord Jesus. Return and judge this earth, return and judge me.
Let me show you the end of these things that we wish to hang onto. Its found in the Book of Revelation. Its a picture of the destruction of Babylon, (by the way, not the literal city of Babylon, but that which she symbolizes, namely materialism.
Re 18:15 "The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 "and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!
17 'For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 "and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like this great city?'
This is the end of your houses. your big screen TVs, your cars, all your material goods. It will be gone in flames and it will be sudden! And if we were honest, most of us do not want to see that end come, and thats the issue of our texts today. When the Son of Man returns will He find the kind of faith that says, Even So, Come Lord Jesus! (Rev 22:20)
Come and burn! I prefer being with You in heaven, than staying in this sin-sick world. Even creation itself groans for the Lord to come! But do you? Are you allowing the Holy Spirit to create that longing in you as you fall deeper and deeper in love with Jesus, and less in love with the things of this world.
Which direction are you going? Toward Jesus or toward possessions? One day the Pharisees were bugging Jesus because His disciples werent fasting.
Lu 5:34 And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? 35 "But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days."
In context here, what do you think would be the purpose of their fasting? Would it not be for the Bridegroom to come back? Have you ever fasted for the purpose of asking Jesus to return? It seems to me, that it is a very biblical thing to do.
Do you long to be restored to a purity that can never be violated again by sin! Do you long to be razed (r-a-z-e-d) as the earth longs to be razed?
Ro 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
Did you catch that? The firstfruits of the Spirit? This longing is one of the first things the Spirit of God brings with Him. An unspoken longing for things to be made perfect. And while this is one of the firstfruits to arrive, it seems like its also one of the first to leave. And perhaps thats why the Bible warns us so much about fixation on the things of this world.
1Jo 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
According to this passage from Romans, we should be eagerly waiting the redemption of our bodies. We should be praying for that Day when our souls will be united with our perfect glorified bodies, and that will happen on the Last Day!
1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.
We often ask why God allows pain and suffering in this world.....well maybe, just maybe its to cause us to pause and consider and yearn for what awaits us on the other side. Maybe when we are faced with pain and suffering the longing of the Spirit in us will be awakened and start longing again for the redemption of our body promised on the last Day! Maybe thats why Paul was rejoicing in his suffering, because he knew his suffering would keep him cognizant of a better day!
This lack of yearning for our Lords return is relatively new in the church, and I believe it is directly proportional to our standard of living. The highr the standard of living, the less likely we are to want to give it up. Just read the New Testament and you cant help but catch the mindset of the Apostles, they longed for the soon return of Christ. Where is that longing today?
Will the Son of Man find such firstfruits of faith on the earth when He returns? Im afraid not much of it if He were to return today. We are much more consumed with the temporary fix. Its , What can you do for me today Lord, not Come Lord Jesus, make all things new!
How many of us are willing to join our prayers with the incessant martyrs mentioned in
Revelation 6?
Re 6:9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
These are body less souls, eagerly awaiting their bodily redemption, and all theyll get until the Lord returns is a sheet draped over them. Hear the parable of Jesus as spoken in our Gospel lesson today and join your prayers with theirs........How long, O Lord? Come Lord Jesus, avenge this enemy, that has robbed us of the bodies we were intended to have.....death!
Death has been around harassing mankind ever since that first sin. Sin has taken souls that were meant to be permanently in perfect bodies and put them into imperfect bodies, bodies that die and are separated from their souls. This was not the way it was suppose to be.
Cant you get just a little fired up about this and say, Thats enough death! Thats enough suffering! O God of life, put an end to this death and suffering that ravages the earth. Put an end to abortion! Put an end to aids! Put an end to Cancer! Put an end to Alzheimers, Put an end to starvation. Put an end to war! Put an end to sexual molestation and abuse. Put an end to emotional pain. Come Lord Jesus!
Lord come and as Hosea prophesied, have no pity on this enemy of ours! The Bible says the last enemy that will be destroyed is death. (1 Cor 15:26) Come Lord Jesus finish the job!
Listen, beloved child again to the promise found in Hosea.
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O death, I will be your plagues! O grave I will be your destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes!
Come Lord Jesus, come with no pity for our enemy death. Crush it forever. Deliver us and this world forever.
This should be our attitude and if its not, Im afraid we still have too much world in us. We are still too beguiled by the material goods and luxuries that we enjoy. We just dont want to leave. One more Packer game! One more TV show! One more meal! One more round of golf! We refuse to believe that the new world will far surpass all those temporary pleasures.
O God change our heart! Let us long for things above and not things below. Stir the Holy Spirit in us that we might truly pray, Come Lord Jesus.

TONY Mowbray has warned his Albion side that Sheffield Wednesday will be out to overcome another 'fortress' when they visit the Hawthorns tonight.
The Owls have beaten Stoke City and Plymouth on their recent travels and Wednesday boss Brian Laws has spoken about ending Albion's unbeaten record - not least as they were the last club to win a League match at B71, back in April.
Mowbray believes his side must be wary of Sheffield's improved recent form, which has seen them win three of their last four away games after losing five of their opening six Championship games.
"I think they are very much over their start," said Mowbray. "I don't want to use a cliche but maybe out of adversity they've come out stronger at the other end.
"I saw Brian Laws talking about knocking over fortresses - Stoke's Britannia Stadium, Plymouth's Home Park and now coming to us.
"They have a confidence and belief and we need to make sure we're ready for it. They are still a big club, they get big crowds.
"They didn't get at the start of the season but have now and if they win a few more they'll start talking about promotion.
"That's how stupid this division is - they were talking about Brian being out on his backside back then and in a few weeks they could be talking about promotion. That's football."
Meanwhile, Mowbray distanced himself from speculation linking him with Brazilian midfielder Beto, who currently plays for Swiss side FC Sion.
"Hand on heart, I've never heard of him," added Mowbray. "Perhaps he is using us to create some self interest."

The England centre has called on his team-mates to put pressure on each other in training this week to ensure they finish their Six Nations campaign on a winning note against France in Paris on Saturday night.
Victory for France would complete a Grand Slam for Marc Lievremont's side with only Ireland, who entertain Scotland, capable of challenging for the Six Nations title should England defeat Les Bleus.
Flutey, who plays his club rugby in France with Brive, admitted he was frustrated by the level of England's performance in the 15-15 draw against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
But he is still confident that the team possess the necessary firepower to cause an upset in the Stade de France if the England pack can sort out their problems at the breakdown.
"The challenge will be huge in Paris," Flutey said. "Coming back into that changing-room (at Murrayfield) there was so much disappointment, but now we have to move on and look forward to next weekend.
This week we have to put a lot of pressure on each other to put in a winning performance over there on Saturday.
"There are moments there where units are showing some good stuff. If we can create quick ball against France then the quality I have got inside and outside me is huge.
"Like everyone else I feel frustrated that we haven't come away with the win (against Scotland), but the moment I leave that changing-room it is about looking forward. We can't come down on each other or feel sorry for ourselves, we have to move on.
"There were quite a few penalties out there and we have to clean up that area because I know that if we go through four or five phases we can break teams. We have to be more clinical in and around that breakdown area so we can go through those phases."
Meanwhile France coach Lievremont has kept faith with the squad that defeated Italy 46-20 on Sunday by naming an unchanged 23-man squad to face England. Dimitri Yachvili, who replaced the injured Frederic Michalak in that squad, is retained.
"You're never sure of anything, but you know what you think," Lievremont said. "The players did well against Wales and Italy. We opted for continuity. This group is equipped to beat the English. I think the players are fresh and fit."
France squad: (Forwards): T Domingo (Clermont), C Baiocco (Racing-Metro), N Mas (Perpignan), J Poux (Stade Toulousain), W Servat (Stade Toulousain), D Szarzewski (Stade Francais), S Chabal (Racing-Metro), L Nallet (Racing-Metro), J Pierre (Clermont), J Bonnaire (Clermont), T Dusautoir (Stade Toulousain), I Harinordoquy (Biarritz), A Lapandry (Clermont)
(Backs): M Parra (Clermont), F Trinh-Duc (Montpellier), M Bastareaud (Stade Francais), Y Jauzion (Stade Toulousain), D Marty (Perpignan), M Andreu (Castres Olympique), J Malzieu (Clermont), A Palisson (Brive), C Poitrenaud (Stade Toulousain), D Yachvili (Biarritz).

Pat MacDowell
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Pat has since lived in Montreal, Oakville, Newburgh (near Kingston) and now has a home in Durham. All of these places have been significant in Pat's artistic development.
Her parents were both artistic and encouraged her artistic endeavours at a young age.
After her marriage she moved to Montreal and began painting in oils, copying some of the old master such as John Constable, Turner and many others. She was encouraged to take art lessons which she did with an amazing teacher whose lessons she now passes on to her students.
After she moved to Oakville, another teacher became her mentor and taught her a great deal about watercolours. As a member of the Oakville Art Society she participated in many juried art shows and had paintings hanging in galleries in both Quebec and Ontario. At this time she was asked to teach a course at the Mississauga Visual Art Centre. This was a success for both Pat and her students, kindling a love of teaching which has continued to this day.

Ever since I started seeking information online for a "healthy hair journey" I have heard the do's and BIG DON'TS of growing beautiful healthy hair. No more hair grease, petroleum jelly (Vaseline), pink lotion, mineral oil or CONES. If this natural hair thing is new to you then you might not know what "cones" are. There are many different kinds of cones but, of course these cones to the left are not the kinds of cones that we are talking about- although some people do wear pine cones in their hair. Cones is short for silicones in most cases. Silicones are used in many products from conditioners to leave ins and moisturizers to heat protectants. They have a makeup somewhat similar to plastic. They basically cover the hair strands and seal them rendering them smooth and silky. Why would soft, smooth silky hair be a bad thing you ask? (I heard you.) It isn't, kinda. Well for people with fine and/or high porosity hair, cones can be a lifesaver. I spent so much time staying away from them only to find out that my hair likes them. They provide a little extra durability to my individual fine strands and it makes my hair feel like silk.
How are cones bad for your hair?
Well that is a matter of opinion. Cones smooth the cuticles of the hair down effectively sealing in moisture. Sealing in moisture is a good thing. The problem is some forms do a better job than others. The issue becomes build up. If cones are allowed to accumulate on the hair they can hold moisture out as much as they held moisture in. When the original moisture dries up you won't be able to moisturize your hair again because of the silicone barrier/build up. Not being able to moisturize leads to dryness and breakage. Its a vicious cycle. There is a solution though. You can use only water soluble cones as they will probably come off with a sulfate free shampoo or even co-washing. This includes Bis-PEG-8 and PEG-8 Dimethicone amongst others.
For non water-soluble silicones it can be a vicious cycle. There is a solution though. Clarifying shampoo and sulfate shampoos can remove product buildup including even the most harsh cones like dimethicone.
If you decide to try the "Curly Girl Method" then you will probably be avoiding cones all together but if not then you don't have to avoid them like the plague, especially if they work for you and your hair's needs. Just know how to handle any issues that may arise.
Do you still use silicones? Let me know in the comments below.

An Omaha food processing company filed suit in State District Court on November 10 to recover losses sustained by chemicals emitted from commercially installed flooring materials. Domina Law Group pc llo was engaged to handle the case.
"Suit has been filed early to protect our client and its customers against escalated losses" David Domina said. "Our client is a long-term, well regarded food processing company. Its USDA regulated plant has a strong reputation and a great compliance record. Our client wants to protect its customers as well as itself."
Domina Law Group pc llo's suit was filed against a commercial flooring company, an epoxy manufacturer and an installation company. The floor was an "overpour" to replace the surface beneath the client's fabrication line. Domina said tests showed that "two identified" chemicals traced to the flooring are suspected as having "been absorbed into" the processed food products causing and unpalatable taste.
Domina said "We have no evidence of any risk to consumers, but there is no question the processed products through the plant just after the floor was installed have not been acceptable to customers." The suit asserts that the defendants were negligent, breached warranties, and are strictly liable for the flooring and the chemicals it emitted.

Join Todd Kopriva for an in-depth discussion in this video Dynamic Link improvements, part of Premiere Pro CS6 New Features Overview.
Premier Pro CS6 includes many improvements in Dynamic Link. Most of these changes are behind the scenes, and you'll recognize them as improved speed and stability, but one of the changes is a little bit more obvious to the user. In previous versions, you had to have Production Premium or Master Collection has a suite in order to use Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro and After Effects. However, now, with CS6, all that you need to have is the individual applications, Premiere Pro, and After Effects to use Dynamic Link between them. Of course, you can still have a suite.
Let's see an example of how Dynamic Link works, and how fast it can be now. In Bike Race One Project in the the Assets folder,we'll select a few clips, and choose File > Adobe Dynamic Link, Replace with After Effects composition. After Effects starts, and asks us where we want to save the project. I'll click Save with the default, Replace the existing project. And the clips are brought over to After Effects.
Let's add an adjustment layer, Layer > New > Adjustment Layer, and add the Cartoon effect to it. So in the Effects and presets panel, I'll type, Cartoon and double-click on the effect to apply it to the selected layer. And let's Posterize it a little bit more by bringing the shading steps down. And let's make the Strokes a little fatter, so that it's really obvious. And then I'll use Alt + Tab to switch over to Premier Pro.
If we put the current time indicator in an area that uses the After Effects composition, we can see the result of the Cartoon effect. I'll press the Spacebar to begin playing. (music playing) And even with the very computationally expensive effect, the Cartoon effect, we're able to get playback in realtime. The dropped frame indicator says that we had zero frames dropped during playback. However, if we did get any frames dropped during playback, we could always choose, Sequence > Render Effects into Out, to render a Preview file for any area with a red render bar, I'll go ahead and do that now.
Now, Premiere Pro's building a Preview file, so this area will playback in realtime. When the Preview file is build Premiere Pro will begin playback. >> Three, two one, go. (music playing) >> And there we go, we didn't need to build the Preview file but, it's good to know how to do it in case you have to. So, Dynamic Link is faster, more stable and can be used between the Point Products, After Effects and Premier Pro not just within the suite.

- Importing and sequence setup improvements
