The basics
As the price of career advancement, ambitious financial executive Tim (Paul Rudd) is invited to attend a "dinner for schmucks", an annual event at which various eccentric guests unwittingly compete for the title of biggest bozo. All Tim has to do is find the right clown for the job, and Fate seems to have dealt him the perfect hand when he literally runs into Barry (Steve Carell) a geeky IRS employee whose hobbies include dressing toy mice as famous historical figures. Unfortunately, Barry seems to have a destructive effect on the lives of anyone in his immediate proximity, and Tim soon finds himself without a girlfriend and in danger of destroying any chance he ever had of attaining promotion.
The stakes
To read some of the critics, you'd think that Carell's presence in a movie was some sort of stamp of quality, yet the comic has appeared in more than his fair share of duds since Judd Apatow's The 40-Year-Old Virgin unexpectedly transformed him into prime leading-man material. Like Jim Carrey before him, he's in danger of becoming that funny guy who always appears in the really unfunny movies. Rudd, meanwhile, is a likable screen presence who has made a career out of these straight-man roles and is unlikely to sweat too much if Dinner for Schmucks doesn't deliver the goods. But Jay Roach's movie does offer opportunities to shine or decline for Little Britain's David Walliams and Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement and Kristen Schaal, all of whom appear in larger-than-life supporting roles.
The buzz
Dinner for Schmucks is a loose remake of the French film Le dîner de cons, which was retitled The Dinner Game for the English language marketplace, but in fact translates as the rather more biting "dinner for cunts", a fact which (bizarrely) a large number of critics seem to have only recently become aware of. Much fuss has been made of the US version's rather poor Yiddish, with Debbie Schlussel pointing out on her blog that "a 'schmuck' is basically a 'prick', not a geek, unless they're referring to the boss and his friends who make fun of the geeks. The more correct title would have been 'Dinner for Schlemiels' or 'Dinner for Putzes.'"
Responding in the New York Times, Michael Cieply wonders whether Carell's character might better be categorised as a shmendrik, or even a shlimazl. He points out that the word has only recently become acceptable for common usage – the comic Lenny Bruce once claimed to have been arrested for using it on stage.
Laura Hodes, meanwhile, writing on the Jewish Daily Forward website, points out that Dinner for Schmucks is just the latest in a crop of recent films and novels to idealise the schlemiel (rather than the schmuck).
The bitching
The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw joltingly drags us away from this rather diverting semantic sideshow with a stark warning to Carell, whose "comedy stock-price", he reckons, "takes a terrible knock with this buttock-clenchingly bad film".
Empire's William Thomas is equally dismissive. "Schmucks is better than some recent so-called comedies, but saddled with its faults and a plot that crams too much into one storyline, it suffers from a lack of focus and a painful need to deliver something that can compete with the original, a standard it never quite lives up to."
The fawning
The film appears to have been far better received in the US, however. Perhaps they maintain a finer understanding of the diverse intricacies of Yiddish slang over there.
"The genius of this version depends on the performance by Steve Carell, who plays Barry Speck as a man impervious to insult and utterly at peace with himself," writes Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times. "He's truly a transcendent idiot."
The punters
The movie isn't getting an awful lot of love in Twitterland, but the cast and crew will be over the moon to hear that they have Paris Hilton's backing. "Just saw Dinner for Schmucks, such a funny movie. Steve Carrel (sic) is hilarious!" she wrote last month. Intriguingly, Paris also recommends Taken, last year's Liam Neeson-starring thriller about a spoilt young daddy's girl who is kidnapped by horrible Albanian sex traffickers.
The prognosis
Presumably pitched as a warm-hearted warning bell to the dangers of putting corporate ambition ahead of personal morality, as well as a clarion call to individuality and eccentricity, Dinner for Schmucks is in reality a mealy-mouthed collection of seemingly random acts of tomfoolery perpetrated by a sumptuous cast who are hugely let down by the screenplay's complete absence of emotional core. To put it simply, no one on screen seems like anybody that anybody watching will have met in their life, ever ... so there is zero potential for even basic empathy. Clement does well enough as a sex-obsessed artist, while Walliams is watchable as a kooky Swiss businessman, but there's not enough reality here to ground all the outlandishness being pinged around the screen. After all the arguments over that title, one can't help feeling that the film-makers themselves are the real schmucks here.

Senior Grady Anderson and freshman Frankie Schmitt led the Bishops by finishing in a tie for 6th place overall at +3 over par 219. Schmitt shot the best round on Tuesday for the Bishops shooting an even par 72 after playing well Monday as well with rounds of 73 and 74. Anderson shot a 73 on Tuesday along with shooting a 72 and a 74 on Monday.

I really got thinking about the process. Process of the ring, the process of life, I am not really sure but non the less the process of transformation!
I have been making jewelry for only one short year now. I started last December when I wanted to make a special gift for my partner. My partner is an artist, the kind that makes you question your own talents and capabilities. He is an extremely supportive partner and always has kind critiques that guide and shape my ideas. Never a bad word to say, he is just so talented that his work makes mine look pale in comparison. So when I decided to create a incense burner for him it had to be cool! And so it all began with a tall clay dragon head in blues and purples with eyes that look real and the best part is the incense smoke comes out of his nostrils. David was thrilled and I felt amazing! I began exploring. Exploring with every and anything I could get my hands on and the process was in motion. Wire twisted and beads hung on store bought rings, ear wires I bought turned into handcrafted ear wires and head pins. Copper wire became my love. I created and oxidized it, making earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Some with store bought parts but it soon transformed into my own hand crafted parts. The process has taken me far in a short period of time and yet I am so very new to the craft quickly. Everyday I learn things like soldering is no easy chore. Understanding metal alloy, its heating points and hardening techniques. Understanding that there are different levels of hard to soft solder and that when trying to create a prong you can not use the same solder that holds the prongs together, to solder the prongs to the band...lolLike I said, I am a newbie, and I have been given a gift to create free form. I am into the ever changing process and I love it! Transformation, transition its a beautiful part of life and I appreciate the opportunity to sit at my table and explore art, explore life and share what I come up with. Namaste'

$20-billion boost for tourism sector
By INGRID BROWN Associate Editor - Special Assignment email@example.com
Tourism Minister Dr Wykeham McNeill has said that over $20 billion in investments have been earmarked for Jamaica's tourism sector.
"What we have on the books in terms of investment is about 20 billion in the tourism sector and it brings about 840 rooms on stream which are either new rooms or old rooms that have been completely refurbished," McNeill said.
The tourism minister, who was addressing journalists at the Sunday Observer Press Club at the newspaper's head offices in St Andrew last Thursday, said that Jamaica has seen a significant amount of investments in both new and old properties over the last two years.
The investment, McNeill pointed out, is being made by both local and international interests.
McNeill pointed to some of the latest investments, such as the Kingston-based 130-room Courtyard by Marriott which, he noted, is within schedule for the 2015 completion; the 350-room Royalton White Sands which recently opened in Trelawny, and the Sagicor operated Jewel Paradise Cove in Runaway Bay, St Ann.
He also pointed to the recent completion of the 238-room Riu Palace which is now up and running.
McNeill also made reference to the fact that the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Montego Bay will now be managed by international chain, Hyatt and that construction has already started for the 2014 opening of what will now be an all-inclusive resort.
The other investments, the minister noted, are Karisma Hotels and Resorts which recently opened a five-star Azul Sensatori Jamaica in Negril and the plans for refurbishing of Grand Lido.
"What you have is your traditional investments that are there and a whole new slew of products that's coming on," he said.
This, McNeill insisted, has created a greater demand for Jamaica as a tourist destination.
"What we found when we went to the World Travel Market is that tour operator after tour operator came to say we need more rooms, especially at certain times of the year," McNeill said.
He was also particularly pleased with the investment made by local group Sagicor which has invested in three hotels in three years.
"I am happy that they joined the Jamaican families such as Sandals Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, the Issas, the Hendricksons and a slew of other persons who have made their name not just here but overseas," McNeill said.
The tourism minister said that while it is good to bring visitors to Jamaica's shores there are a number of things that must be done and this includes an input from Government.
"We have to keep ourselves on the cutting edge and of course the investment in the sector is all good, and that is positive, but government also has a role to play," he argued.
Government's involvement, he said, has been in the form of a number of infrastructure work now taking place.
The recent ground breaking for the $400 million project in the resort town of Ocho Rios, work now underway in Negril as well as the Urban Development Corporation's finalisation of work to be done at Port Royal, according to McNeill, are all part of government's input.
"A number of these infrastructural projects will add to what we have to offer on the way and at the same time we are working in the sector with things like our language training programmes," McNeill said.
The language training programme, he said, is already oversubscribed with various personnel from the sector trying to make up the first batch of 300 persons who will be trained in another language.
Where the biggest difference can be made, according to McNeill, is for Jamaica to produce a lot of what is consumed in the many hotels, hence the establishment of a special committee which has been set up at the tourism ministry to address this.
"They are doing studies and needs assessment and funding for the things and even the World Bank and others are very interested in this move because of the potential," he said.

A Bit About Us And
What We Do!
Embroidery Concepts was created in January of 1990.
A small single head machine running one item at a time out of a garage.
In The Begining
How It Started
In the 1990's, Embroidery Concepts focused only on servicing sporting goods stores, ad specialty businesses, and various other resellers of embroidered apparel. It wasn't long before the work load overwhelmed the capacity for the small single head machine. A second machine that had the capacity 3 times that of the little machine was purchased soon after.
With work continuing to come in from just word of mouth, space in the shop became very cramped. It was time to move. In 2000, Embroidery Concepts relocated to a much larger space in the City of Washington, just one block from the campus of the Washington and Jefferson College. It was then that the retail end of the business was born. Now with much car and foot traffic, it became necessary to purchase an even larger machine to keep up with the work.
After settling in the new location, much discussion was given to a website. But who would purchase custom embroidered shirts and hats from a website? After much consideration, a small generic website was piloted around 2002. The only hope was that it would cover the costs of having it. It did so and more. After about 5 years, the internet became the source for more than 60% of the business Embroidery Concepts does.
You are now viewing the 4th major revision to our site. We hope it is helpful to you!
Service Details
While not every item is able to be embroidered, we do offer you the option of sending us your items to be embroidered. We prefer to use the items we offer in our store because we know they are stable enough to hold your lettering or logo. Because the demand to embroider customer supplied goods has increased, we will do them for you. Just be aware that you bear the responsibility for the durability of the finished product. In the event that we cannot embroider your items, we will notify you and ship them back. A few reasons they may not be embroider able would be because they are too thin, too heavy, have buttons or embroidery in the same location, or pockets either inside or out. We certainly will try for you!
We have become known for setting up logos for others. While there are many options for setting up your logo for embroidery, we can be a source for you as well. Even if you are not purchasing garments from us, or having us embroider your items, we can set up your logo. Simply get us the artwork, and we will take it from there. We are able to send it back in many of the common formats for embroidery machines.
Blank shirts have become a popular request in the last few years. Whatever the reason, if you just want blank shirts, we can provide them too you. Many of our customers like the color and size selection we offer. Finding a ladies medium in the same style and color in a men's 8XLarge is difficult. We have many shirts that fit that need. Because of the time it takes to place a blank order, and because we are already very competitively priced. We do not offer a discount on blank items. If they work for you, we are happy to ship them to you. Most times we will ship them directly from a distributor that may be close to you.
All of the items we have on our site are logo ready. This means that they can hold your embroidered logo, usually on the left chest, without any problems. If you have never had your logo embroidered, it is absolutely necessary to have your logo digitized and saved in a format that an embroidery machine can read. If your logo has already been set up, and you have in in either a .dst or .ofm format, we can most likely use that. You would then have no set up fee for that logo. Regardless, using our items, we can take you from start to finish in a reasonable time!
Delivery time is normally 2 weeks from the time we receive your order and payment. Because everything we do is custom work, your order must be paid in full prior to having us put a needle into anything. The items you request are no good to us once we put your lettering or logo on them, and we would not be able to resell them. If it is your first time with a new logo, it usually takes a few extra days to complete, as we like you to verify the sewn out logo before we proceed with sewing it on your items. If we have already done your logo before, we simply pull it from the file and away we go! We process all orders as fast as possible. Keep in mind, near the Christmas holiday, we do get quite busy, and routinely have to cut of orders to be delivered for Christmas.
Our Customers Say
We just received our shirts and I wanted to let you know, they look great! I also want to thank you for the quick service. Thanks again. Best Regards.from: Jen Marts
I received the shirts and they look very good. Thank you for the positive sales experience and I look forward to doing business with you again in the future. Sincerely,from: Craig

Please send me an invoice for these items as soon as possible…..Thanks! Also, the shirts are awesome!from: R. Blackett
You have embroidered shirts for me previously using my logo. I
am interested in having polo-type shirts printed using the attached as the
primary logo on the front and my logo on the sleeve. Please
let me know if this is possible and if so what the additional cost per
shirt would be for a second logo.
Just wanted to let you know I got the shirts in plenty of time for the PAX East convention in Boston this past weekend, and they were awesome. They looked great and were very comfortable to wear. I'm definitely going to be ordering a couple more before my next convention. Thanks again for all your assistance with my first order. You'll be hearing from me again soon, I can assure you! Kindest Regards,from: Michael Evans
We loved the shirts we ordered from you 2 years ago and want to re-order some additional shirts. Will you have someone contact me to see if they still have our logo set-up? Thanks and look forward to doing business with you again.from: Dr. Larolyn Zylicz
Thanks for sending this. You guys do amazing work.from: Tim Fusina
Our Pricing
We have very competitive pricing on both our wholesale and retail items. Because everything we do is custom work, figuring out pricing can be intimidating. We have adopted the industry standard pricing based on stitch count. We understand estimating the number of stitches in your logo can be a challenge, so we would like to show you some examples here.The pricing on our garments is for the garment only without the logo embroidered. We charge $1.50 per thousand stitches for the smallest of jobs, 1-5 pieces (same color, style), and discount that price as the quantity goes up. See our pricing schedule and examples. The only thing that may be additional is the one time logo set up and shipping.

Tips and Tricks of Exterior Painting
Exterior specialists are known for remodeling exterior parts of a home, they are knowledgeable about what type of paint would you need and what type of application needed in the paint job, to know more about getting professional results with your exterior painting, here are some tips provided by exterior specialists.
Proper Paint Color, Quantity and Qualities
Choosing exterior paint colors that would match the architectural details of your house and would fit the characters of the whole neighborhood is the essential way of having a great paint job. Check out different magazines to know different painting style essential for the design of your home. Also, you can look for brochures at paint stores with collection of colors, they have also specialist or designers on their staff that can help you choose colors.
Before buying gallons of paint for your home it is important to buy only a quart of each color youve chosen and paint the entire color scheme on a small area of your house before buying large amount of paints. If you dont want the results, change the color and try again. It is also important to buy yourself best type of paint you can afford. Good-quality paint is easier to apply and last longer compared with cheap paints. Experts advise customers to buy paint with either eggshell or slight sheen finish. The paint is more fade resistant and easier to clean than flat paint.
Repairing and Sanding
Some surfaces of your exterior parts of your house may suffer damage from water, insects or sunlight damage, the material wont last long even when you use giant amount of paint. Make sure to replace and repair any damages to wood sidings, stucco or other exterior wall materials before applying paint on the exterior walls. By doing this, it would assure you that you will do less maintenance in the future.
If you had a wall with old paint on it, make sure to smooth the rough edges of the old paint. Peel away the old paint and make sure to use a sand paper to smooth its edges. By doing this, the new paint coats the surface evenly. Electrical sander could make sanding easier for a job of this scale, a sander would make you work faster compared with manual sanding with your hand.
Spread Paint at Appropriate Rate
Paints perform optimally only when they are applied at a recommended spread rate, in the process, you may be tempted to pour some thinner in and soften on the paint. Try to avoid this to eliminate scarcity of paint and the paint would drip with too much paint applied on the wall. This could expose your home harmfully to the elements.
Paint In to a Wet Edge
One of the most important techniques in painting is maintaining its wet edge. Always try to brush or roll back into paint thats still wet. The result will be a uniform, seamless-looking paint coat. Remember that it is harder to paint a large area, use natural breaks like door and window casting to divide large areas into manageable clusters. Complete each section without stopping or skipping.

[pictures from Kristy]
I made a baby shower cake last October for Benjamin's mom, Kristy, when she was pregnant with him. It's one of my all time favorites! So when Kristy asked if I could make cakes for Benjamin's first birthday I was happy to do it AND she had a great idea. We used the pictures below (click on them for the sources) to come up with a plan for a 1/4 sheet cake and 2 dozen cupcakes.
I decided to use the yellow cake recipe I found over at Smitten Kitchen. I've used this recipe once before and I know it makes a nice dense cake which would be great for carving since the plan here was to carve the sheet cake into a #1. I added chocolate chips into the mix since Kristy wanted a chocolate chip cake.
I made up 1 batch of chocolate buttercream icing to fill the sheet cake and I made up 2.5 batches of vanilla buttercream for the top of the cake and the cupcakes.
For the fondant decorations, I used white and black fondant to make 25 sets of googly eye balls. I also cut out some large dots in red, orange, green, and blue for the cake. I used mini Chips Ahoy cookies for the cupcakes.
For the Cookie Monster topper, I decided to make it out of blue fondant and then use royal icing for the fur. I was sort of winging it here because I wasn't sure if the royal icing would stick to the fondant, but it did. I used a grass tip (Wilton's #233) for the fur for both the Cookie Monster topper and the cupcakes and it worked perfectly.
I made these cakes and their decorations over the course of 4 days. I meant to count how many hours I spent on it, but it was hard to tell. I took lots of breaks to take care of my son so that made counting hours tricky. I think it was about 8-10 hours total though.
As much as I am happy I took on this project and as proud I am of how it turned out, it reminded me that I do not have the luxury of 8-10 extra hours in a week for cake baking. It's really hard to make it work these days. I am in awe of those moms out there who work full time, take care of munchkins, and still have time for a time-consuming hobby like this….'cause I really don't.

"I have never gone on a trip like this before. I always wished I'd studied abroad
in college, but never took that opportunity, so this was my way of getting that
experience. I am so grateful I did because every aspect was incredible. My Costa
Rican family made me feel so comfortable - it really felt like home. There was an
instant camaraderie amongst the students - we learned together, studied together,
went to the beach and out at night together. Thus, my family was extended even
more. I not only learned about Costa Rican culture, but the cultures of my fellow
students (Swedish, Canadian, Japanese). The teachers at the school were so warm,
welcoming and helpful. Immersion is the best way to learn a language. I only
wished I was able to stay longer (trust me - one week is not nearly enough!) I can
not say enough wonderful things about Quepos and the school. Quepos was so
stunningly beautiful and easy to get around. I am already planning my return back -
for 3 weeks at least! The school not only taught me Spanish, but how to live PURA
VIDA! (a term you will instantly learn the first day in Costa Rica)"
Megan Neiner, USA
"The language course at El Paraiso was not my first Spanish course, but by far the best. I studied Spanish in Austria, Mexico and Cuba, but I never learnt nearly as much as I did in my conversation class with Carlos. The teachers are all extremely nice, helpful and make learning great fun. Studying surrounded by nature also helps to make the most out of your time, too. I can recommend this school without reservations."
Marie Trappl, Austria
"I stayed my last week of 3 months Costa Rica in Quepos / Manuel Antonio. And I
loved it, would go back. It's so nice there!! Adicionally I booked as well
spanish classes at El Paraiso Spanish School and have to say; it was great. I've
never had so much fun during spanish classes. Our teacher, Runia, was so
friendly and explained it really well. Even as I was confused about pasttimes...
The school is located next to the main street to Manuel Antonio under trees,
kind of feeling of a jungle. We could eat fresh fruits and fresh empenadas every
single day - just great!!"
Muriel Horath,
"My experience at El Paraiso, Bocas del Toro surpassed all expectations. The
Espanol 351 Course in Spanish Literature was conducted entirely in Spanish in a
one on one format. My well-qualified Professor employed an array of written and
media resources to cover a broad survey of relevant literature, with a
particular focus on Central American literary history. Grammar and vocabulary
lessons were well integrated into the broader themes of the course. My relative
difficulty with the language upon arrival advanced rapidly to the point
near-fluency by the end of my stay. In the end, I was able to spend three weeks
of my winter break earning full graduate level Spanish credit in an ideal
setting while exploring a tropical Central American archipelago. The name
"paraiso" certainly fits.
Mil gracias a Profesor Castillos y todos de la Escuela Paraiso de Bocas. Espero
que les vea pronto!"
Clayton Snyder, USA
"Not a day goes by that I do not think about my many wonderful adventures in Costa Rica! Participating in Spanish with my home stay family and in class was the best learning experience My time with the school and my amazing family was as close to being Costa Rican as I could get without moving there permanently. The school's staff was so upbeat, and made learning fun. I look at my class notebook, and see all the things we covered. I'm still stunned at how much we covered. Our special conversation classes, cooking, dancing and surf lessons -pushed my language skills more than I thought possible. My friends and coworkers are stunned by the change in my ability to converse in Spanish - all because of El Paraiso School ! I know that I will be returning!"
Barbara Harmony, USA
"Watch the real-life video of our fun and exciting travel experience
in Costa Rica and the upcoming photo-gallery
of our entire trip"
Nikki and Dusty Green, USA"
"I had a great experience with the El Paraiso school. I found the teachers to be very knowledgeable and accommodating to each student's needs. Even though I was there for a short time, the environment was very welcoming and I immediately felt part of the El Paraiso family."
Elizabeth Embry, USA
"I've been doing study abroad progams for many years and El Paraiso - Bocas is
at the top of its class. I felt I was taking a risk when I chose El Paraiso,
because the Bocas program is fairly new and I have a very advanced level of
Spanish. I didn't really need "to study" Spanish, but rather to tweak what I
already speak and extend my vocabulary. I was concerned that a school that is
designed from language acquisition might not be able to meet my specific needs.
In the first few minutes of class my worries were dispelled. My teacher, Edi,
adapted immediately to my level, anticipated my needs and designed engaging
"lessons" around magazine articles, poetry, songs and his vast knowledge of
Hispanic culture. Since I am a teacher myself, I have high standards of how
instruction should be delivered and Edi exceeded all of them. His ability to
transition from my private class to a group of beginners and maintain the same
clarity of instruction is the sign of an excellent teacher. It is very obvious
from Edi's enthusiasm, involvement with the students and positive attitude that
he loves the work he does and cares about the progress and satisfaction of his
I recommend El Paraiso School without reservation."
Gigi Austin, Spanish teacher, Dallas, Texas, USA
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the school. It is very well operated and has a
fantastic staff. The teaching methods are effective and teachers are great.
Thanks for your time"
Nick Harrower, USA
"For those seeking excellent Spanish language courses in a beautiful country with the most kind people, look no further than El Paraiso. Professors are thorough and patient, and offer engaging verbal, listening and written instruction. Courses outside the classroom were extremely enjoyable and an excellent way to practice Spanish while participating in the Tico culture. As a homestay student, my family was overly generous with their food (which is amazing) and hospitality, I look forward to returning to their house many times in the future. Gorgeous beaches and wildlife are extra bonuses to studying in Quepos.
Overall, my experience at the school surpassed expectations. Not only did I came away with a high level of Spanish comprehension, but the people and events which accompanied my studies are true life treasures."
Kathleen Wood, USA
"My husband and I spent two weeks at the El Paraiso School in Bocas del
Toro. We had a wonderful experience both in Bocas and with the school.
The instructors were fabulous- very much tailoring the class to our needs
and also giving us lots of advice and suggestions about the area and how to
best spend our free time. The class gave me exactly what I needed- a
thorough review and brush-up on my Spanish and the confidence to start
speaking more regularly with the Spanish speakers we encountered. We would
love to spend more time with El Paraiso in the future. We recommend it to
anyone who is looking for a quality school experience with warm and
welcoming staff!"
Temple Cooley and Dameon Philpotts, USA
"I like the El Paraiso School very much because of several things! One, is directly in the forest and for that reason during the day monkeys Mono Titi and White face, iguanas and many pretty birds can be seen! The professors are very friendly and after couple of days one feels like a part of the family and can ask anything! They always helped me with any problem! I also liked the activities, such the class of cooking and class of surf very much!"
Clemens Binkele, Germany
"I was in Bocas del Toro in January. As a young female travelling through
Panama alone, I was a bit nervous at first. However, in my correspondence prior
to and upon arriving at El Paraiso school, I immediately felt welcome
and at ease. I have never spoken a word of Spanish before I arrived in
Panama, and I left being able to converse easily at any bar, restaurant,
shop or hotel. More importantly than the skills I learned though was the
friendships that I made. Everyone was so nice, my teacher so great, who not
only seemed to genuinely care about our learning in class, but even came out
with us after and would help us in our conversations outside of the school.
The school itself is clean, nice, has all the amenities that Bocas has to
offer, all you can drink coffee (!!!) and I would definitely recommend
staying there. Though one week is definitely not enough time to become
fluent in a language, everyone helped me make the most of my time, and I
definitely look forward to studying with El Paraiso again to better my
Alissa Kramer, USA
"I have nothing but positive things to say about El Paraiso. The family I lived with was wonderful...they did their best to make me feel at home. The classes themselves were exactly what I needed, tailored to my level and giving me the confidence I needed to use my Spanish more effectively. Furthermore, the one-on-one sessions made efficient use of the short time I stayed at the school."
Kristine Sykes, Canada
"I have spent four weeks at El Paraiso School and every day of these four weeks has been a great experience. I did not only learn the spanish language, but also the traditions and other interesting things about Costa Rica. If i had the chance to go there again I would do it immediately!"
Sina Foster, Germany
"Althought I was not a student at EL Paraiso School in Manuel Antonio for very long, I have to say that it was very easy to feel like a part of the family. The instructors were all friendly and tailored the spanish lessons to the level of the students. We had class outside in outdoor cabana type huts so we were exposed to the smells and nature all around us. At one point, we even stopped class to go and check out a sloth that was hanging from a tree. All of this made the learning environment intimate and comfortable. I am greatly looking forward to returning to El Paraiso to continue with my spanish lessons."
Vanessa Hutchinson, USA
"I loved my two weeks at El Paraiso. The school is set in the jungle, squirrel monkeys came by and ate bananas out of our hands. The director, Pedro Luis, was enormously helpful about every aspect of our trip beginning with picking us up at the airport. My teacher Dmitri was sharp as a tack. The Cortes family made us feel a part of their home, and Jessenia is a
marvelous cook. "
Peter Silverman, USA
"The setting: Most places one travels don't live up to the hype or the pictures. On
El Paraiso's brochure, they have a picture of students learning in a classroom
outdoors, taking place in kiosks. The setting of the school is beautiful. Learning
outdoors, is much better than being cooped up in a traditional classroom. Quepos
and Manuel Antonio were nice places as well.
The one disappointing thing about Quepos and Manuel Antonio was that all the stores,
restaurants, and businesses speak perfect English. That's great for tourists, but
not so good for those of us trying to use our Spanish. However, I simply refused to
speak English in the stores. Even though they would speak English, I continued to
use Spanish and asked them if they would speak Spanish to me. They all obliged.
The teachers and the staff: The nice things about the El Paraiso teachers and staff
are that They all have very different and varied types of personalities and teaching
styles. It really is impossible to get bored. My plan was originally to come for
three months. I was only able to stay for one. I can't believe how quickly the
time flew. I could have easily stayed there and not have ever gotten homesick or
Also the teachers and staff interacted with the students on a personal level. Many
of the teachers and staff are the same age or just a little older than most of the
young students who come. Of course I was much older than all the students,
teachers, and staff. But I know that I and the other students enjoyed going out to
restaurants, clubs, and bars with them. It was fun.
The program: I think the program was perfectly balanced. In other words, the
academic program was rigorous enough to challenge the student, but not so rigorous
that the student doesn't have time enough to enjoy life in Quepos and Manuel
The home stay: At first I was thinking of living in a hotel because of my age.
Being a little older, I think I have a tendency to be a little fussy and cranky.
However, I can't begin to tell you how glad I am that I chose the home stay. The
family was absolutely fantastic. In fact, we had all become so close that it was
emotionally traumatic for me to leave. I'm sure we will be friends for life.
I just can't believe how quickly my time at school flew. I will miss everyone; the
students, teachers, staff, home stay family, and friends I made in the towns."
Dr. John Carlini, USA
"I've honestly got to admit, that I had no specific reason for chosing THIS school, but definetly don't regret my choice. In the contrary, I had a lot of contact to other students from other schools in Manuel Antonio and believe that my school was or is the best in the region. From the very beginning, this school was more than a school to me; it felt like family. Many activities and meetings were held with the teachers, and their incredible engagement and care ( especially my teacher, Carlos ) were the reason for my feelings. The organisational skills of the director, Pedro, were incredible and definetly contributed to my outstanding view of this school.
It can be difficult to find your way around Costa Rica, therefore you have got to rely on good connections and friends, wherever you are, especially whilst traveling for a longer period of time. Whether you're looking for a reliable doctor, buying a surfboard, without being ripped off, gaining insight into the nightlife, or last but not least, receiving help with the organisation of a voluntary internship, the school was helpful in every possible way. The classes are exceptional and personal problems with teachers don't exist, due to a staff rotating system, if you stay longer than a week. Student's special wishes and ideas were encouraged and nothing seemed impossible.
The final and most convincing aspect of the school ( especially for people who don't like air conditioning ) is the incredible atmosphere under roofs in the middle of the park-like setting, amidst iguanas and monkeys!
The adventure started here........"
Aram Sander, Germany

Brad Myers & Michael Sharfe's Sanguinaria (Hopefulsongs) on CD
Terms such as soft jazz, or quiet jazz, or anything that implies a soothing, relaxing jazz sound for a Sunday morning spent reading the New York Times--well, that's not always my bag. I want a little bite from my jazz, a little impoliteness. Lite jazz, smooth jazz, adult contemporary jazz, that all makes me shudder. Then I remind myself of the time I introduced a friend to Kind of Blue and he summarized it as slow, depressing and sad. I was astonished at his comments since I've always seen the playfulness. But I still think about what he said and it colors my perceptions every time I listen.
Guitarist Brad Myers and bassist Michael Sharfe remind me of the highly subjective nature of intimate jazz ensembles in their new CD, Sanguinaria (Hopefulsongs), which seems very pleasant and amiable on the surface and feels like the perfect background music for solving crossword puzzles on a balcony somewhere in Tribeca. Even when accompanied by a combination of various drummers, percussionists and keyboard players throughout the album, Myers & Sharfe are busy creating an intimate conversation between themselves. This is an unusually quite interplay, thoughtful and soothing, and it will make you drift.
At the same time, this music is neither light nor simple. These two Cincinnati jazz musicians have known each other for a very long time, and the melodies they create together are unusually seamless--it's almost as if one musician found a way to play both instruments at the same time. Additionally, these two are not so comfortable with the partnership, complacent even, that they are unwilling to take chances. Each of these twelve tracks, which combine original compositions with standards from Brubeck ("In Your Own Sweet Way", Guaraldi ("Great Pumpkin Waltz") and Jarrett ("Country"), shows off a wide variety of colors and moods. Only "Norm's Ridge," a homage to Pat Metheny, seems to lack enough sparkle to draw my attention, and that has more to do with my feeling about Metheny's music than anything else. (I find it bleak and plain too much of the time.)
Much of this variety comes from a careful approach to the arrangements for each song. As I mentioned, Myers and Sharfe are supported by two different drummers (Dan Dorff Jr. and Tom Buckley), a percussionist (Marc Wolfley) and a melodica player (Dan Karlsberg). In addition, the two frontmen also play with both acoustic and electric guitars and basses as well as something called "guitar bongos." The bond between this duo is front and center on each track (except when they play solo), but the contexts vary and glow with imagination.
Finally, the sound quality on this recording is an absolute treat. Much of the emotional connection between Myers and Sharfe wouldn't be obvious otherwise. I must concede that it's relatively easy to make an intimate jazz recording like this sound good. Maybe not easy, but common as long as you keep it simple. Sanguinaria, however, was also produced by Myers and Scharfe, which shows that the creative chemistry between these two men permeated every aspect of this release and the reason for its excellence.

Review: No Man's Sky (PS4)
Posted on August 14, 2016
No Man's Sky is definitely the flavour of the week; its release just last Thursday following a loud hype train that ran for over two years. Published by the giant, Sony, it was developed by an (until-now) indie developer, Hello Games, known only for their Joe Danger games.
No Man's Sky is best described as a science-fiction space exploration game, but that hardly does justice to the experience it offers. In many ways it is very minimalist; its often ambient synthesised soundtrack might have been composed by Ludovico Einaudi, and there are literally no images of the protagonist. Many of the planets you visit are pretty barren: not much to see or do, other than move on to the next planet.
But this simplicity is belied by mind-boggling depth in the world generation. Most of the content of the game is procedurally generated, meaning that the programmers have used algorithms so that each time a player visits a planet, that planet is uniquely generated for just that player. The developers estimate that there are 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 different possibilities for unique planets, and that even if a planet was discovered every second it would still take 585 billion years to discover them all.
This might seem revolutionary, but actually it's just an evolution of how games have been developing recently. Many games have used procedural generation for components: for example, Borderlands used it for generating weapon types, meaning a vast diversity of possibilities unique to each player. But this procedural world-generation is definitely a new step, and perhaps most of the reason for the hype: the multi-trillion numbers make for good copy, and the promise of almost complete freedom is one of the holy grails of game design.
No Man's Sky is absolutely focussed on the experience of non-linear exploration, in a way that perhaps very few games have before. It has collection components (you identify different species on each planet), crafting components (you collect resources and build items to help you survive the environments or travel), and combat elements (wildlife or robotic sentinels sometimes attack you), but all of these play second fiddle to the simple experience of experiencing new worlds that literally no-one ever has before. It is a profoundly relaxing and even meditative experience, as you sometimes just have to wait 2-3 minutes to arrive at your destination; taking in the sights and sounds engenders a very welcome sense of mindfulness that is often elusive in gaming. (I'm also playing Bloodborne at the moment and that is a definite contrast.)
I'm not sure whether I love this game, and it certainly isn't for everyone. I usually prefer action games focussed on strong gameplay design, and in a way there is not much to 'do' in No Man's Sky. Indeed, many of the actions swiftly become repetitive and grindy: jump out of ship, identify creatures, collect a few items, mine a bit, jump in ship, move to next planet: rinse, repeat. There is enough progression to keep me engaged in the opening of the game, but it remains to be seen whether that will have real long term playability, or if the repetitive mechanics will overbear the novelty of finding new worlds. Just recently I have started discovering worlds that are much more hostile than I am used to, which presents a significant challenge, so I'm still in the game.
It is perhaps best considered an experience that has the potential to make you rethink games altogether; in a worst-case scenario, I might leave it on the shelf for a rainy day or after a bad day at work; when I feel like playing something pretty passive and not too intense.
Unfortunately, this game is absolutely not right for the Game Truck: despite our love providing epic gaming experience,s it just doesn't fit. Apart from the lack of a multiplayer option, it is just too long, exploratory and meditative for your average Game Truck party. A better game for this is an action game that you can get your friends into. Having said that, with a PG rating it is not in principle unsuitable for kids: there is some combat against robots and creatures that may be a bit confronting for younger players, and there are some slightly adult themes that may call for some moderation, but overall it's totally appropriate for players of all ages.
Even so, it's quite possible that many kids will simply not enjoy the slower pace, lack of instant gratification, and complex crafting systems that the game presents. In this case it might be better to be played as a family: this is an experience whose wonders can be introduce by a more seasoned player, to make it a shared experience on the couch. But a game like No Man's Sky is never going to appeal to everyone anyway, so it really depends on individual preferences.
What's certain is that this game had turned some heads, and although it might not go down in the record books, it will certainly be considered as a game-changer for some players who see it as a completely different way to play video games.

Wales Online have put up a great article, highlighting the wonderful illustrations of all my lovely winning artists for White Petals.
When Firefly and I launched the competition to find illustrations for White Petals, we were very fortunate to receive such a fantastic, diverse mix of art work from all over the country.
On behalf of the publisher and myself, I would like to thank everyone who entered the White Petals illustration competition.
All the artists who entered the competition were greatly skilled, but alas, we could only pick 37 winning illustrations.
I would like to congratulate all the winners. You did a brilliant job! *virtual high-five* 🙂
I am thrilled with the illustrations that appear throughout my novel, heading the chapters with their eclectic talent and creativity.
I'm super proud to have the illustrations in my book, and I give my biggest thanks to all the White Petals artists for giving their time, effort and wonderful illustrations!
Please click on the link below to have a read of the article and get to know the competition winners. Whilst you're at it, have a good nose at all the fantastic illustrations that appear throughout the book!

[ Understanding and engaging with legislation, policies and standards ]
Within the last few years, I witnessed an increasing amount of students who express some concerns about Intellectual Property and, very recently, about their personal branding. Also, another interest has been to deal with students who consider themselves as digital native in spite of their lack of understanding and practice of online tools and their low project and time management skills. To me, and to summarise all the concerns, there are three key important factors to mention in terms of wider online learning and teaching in Aotearoa–New Zealand:
¬ The Waitangi Treaty, which, extremely succinctly, consists of acknowledging Māori organisation and culture and, by extension, to live and work inclusively.
¬ The public challenge of online experience and collaboration, and the awareness of differences as well as good ethical conduct.
¬ The Creative Commons (CC) licensing, that protect ideas along with precluding plagiarism.
Additionally, the Tertiary Education Strategy 2014-19 sets out the Government's long-term strategic direction for tertiary education in New Zealand.
This strategy highlights the need to build international relationships that contribute to improved competitiveness, support business and innovation through development of relevant skills and research and improve outcomes for all. The first steps to achieving these shifts are outlined in the strategy's 6 priorities
– retrieved from the online report
Since 2014, I personally more focussed on the three following:
Priority 1 – Delivering skills for industry
Priority 6 – Growing international linkages
Priority 3 – Boosting achievement of Māori and Pasifika
Please note also that prior this strategy plan, in 2012, we (Shirley Allan, Dan Mace, and myself) were amongst the pioneers to engage rangatahi (teenagers/youth in Māori) with mobile filmmaking through a project named HONO (to connect in Māori).
Because of the nature of the subject, evidence are not easy to provide, especially in terms of Waitangi Treaty, however here is an attempt:
¬ Auckland University of Technology's website
¬ the succesful completion of the Being a Supervisor at AUT: Expectations, Roles & Responsabilities (2015)
¬ Creative Commons Road Trip
Lastly, I have recently by credited the following:
¬ AUTEC Reference number 16/71, approved by the Auckland University of Technology Ethics Committee (AUTEC) on 14 March 2016, for a research project called "#mobime: implementing a creative curriculum design framework". Following is the summary:
The research project aims to evaluate a framework for the design of new teaching and learning strategies within the Colab curriculum that enhance student creativity, digital literacies, and the development of student professional online identities to prepare them for participation within authentic global communities of practice. The framework explores the use of student-owned devices (BYOD) and the establishment of student-owned eportfolios consisting of a collection of social media platforms. The framework models the professional use of these social media platforms by lecturers/researchers and also models active participation within a community of practice, whereby the lecturers/researchers invite students to form global teams to collaborate on design projects. The project draws on the expertise of a technology steward (Dr Thomas Cochrane from the Centre for Learning And Teaching) to support the lecturers/researchers and students in building a professional social media e-portfolio and skillset, and developing an on going community of practice among the Colab lecturers to refine the curriculum design framework.
More details upon request at AUTEC.
To address the cited issues, this year, I started to use some online project management tools such as Trello, Asana and/or Slack as well as dedicated some time during our face-to-face sessions to discuss about CC and the online tactics to timely manage a degree of anonymity while owning a public profile or account. This year also, I just submitted an article mLearning and Creative practices: a public challenge? in the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) and I look forward to hear from the readers.
In terms of further understanding policies and government perspective, I am in the process to apply to present a paper at the TEU Symposium, which will discuss "Models of Tertiary Education" in relation to innovation and productivity in the New Zealand tertiary education system. Even if the paper is rejected, I will be attending the symposium.

LMK Update: I'm Back, Baby! November 9, 2010Posted by lisameesakasi in 2NE1, 2PM, B2ST, Celebrities, Co-Ed School, Comeback, Girls' Generation (SNSD), Heechul, Images, Jonghyun, Korean (MV), KPOP, Live, LMK Update, Music, News, Reviews, SHINee, So Nyeo Shi Dae, Video, Yesung, YouTube.
Tags: 'Bbiribbom Bberibbom', 'Hello', 'Hoot', 'It Hurts', 'Lucifer', 2NE1, allkpop, bonamana, Co-Ed, Koreaboo, kpop, Lady Gaga, lisameesakasi, no other, seoulbeats, SHINee, SNSD, super junior
This has everything to do with point 4., so until you read that point, this is for your collective viewing pleasure. Super Junior performing 'No Other' live.
P.S., I was like, 'oh, Sungmin went blonde?' But then I realised it wasn't him. Then I thought 'what the hell is Dongwoon doing in a SUJU performance, too weird… or maybe it's a backup dancer… but they have 10 active members, why the hell do they need any backup dancers?' I paused on his face and after completing the strenuous process of elimination I was like, 'Oh! It's Heechul!' Nice. Just thought I'd share some good times! If I had just watched the whole thing through I would have realised who it was when Heechul does his solo bit. Sigh.
P.P.S., Yesung was really cute during the 'No Other' promotions. Ryeowook too. And Sungmin and Ryeowook are just too cute in this vid during the 'Sorry, Sorry' part. So, yeah… 😉
I'm finally back! And sadly, during my hiatus period, I've kind of lost my obsession with KPOP. Do I still love it? Of course! I don't think I could ever stop loving KPOP music and Idols, but I've become more sensible. I'm barely on other KPOP sites like Koreaboo, seoulbeats, allkpop, etc. I keep up to date via Twitter, and it's much easier and less time consuming. However, there are a few things I'd like to get off my chest when it comes to this past month, about KPOP.
1. Does anyone else think CO-ED's 'Bbiribbom Bberibbom' sounds an awful lot like Lady Gaga's 'Telephone'? I mean, it's so damn obvious. The chorus just rips off probably one of the most popular pop songs of the 2000s! Like, seriously, did they really think that they could perform a song that sounds suspiciously similar to Gaga's Telephone and not get some flak? Of course, there are CO-ED fans out there who think that the KPOP group did not, in fact, rip off Gaga's 'Telephone,' and that the songs sound nothing alike! There are even some fans who went as far as to say that Gaga copied CO-ED, and is ripping off Asian style. Now come on, Gaga may not be my favourite pop artist out there, but get real.
Sigh. Personally, I think that whoever produced and wrote 'Bbiribbom Bberibbom' is/are pretty stupid. Like come on. Are you serious? And the worst part? I really don't think that CO-ED will get accused of plagiarism because the song just sounds too similar. Because really, who is stupid enough to rip off an extremely famous song without even trying to mess around with it a little? Sheesh.
Well, you be the judge!
CO-ED with 'Bbiribbom Bberibbom'
2. SNSD are back in our lives with 'Hoot.' Okay, I'm not going to lie, I'm unimpressed. 2010 has seen the releases of 'Oh' and 'Run Devil Run,' and also the Japanese versions of 'Genie' and 'Gee' and they were/are catchier than 'Hoot.' And seriously, 'Hoot'? What kind of title… whatever.
What I liked: the chorus and… okay, that's really it. And maybe Seohyun's lines.
What I didn't like: Sunny's lips (what the hell is going on there?), Tiffany's outfit (it looks like she's wearing sparkly boxers), and Sooyoung (her face looks odd to me, and it's either that she's lost a lot of weight, or she's gone under the knife. Either way, she needs to put on weight, I think she'd just look sexier. I really thought we were moving away from thinking model-skinny-aka-bones is attractive).
What I think: The song would have been better only as an audio release, rather than a MV release. I think watching the clip just ruined the song for me, and from now on I'm just going to be listening to it, rather than watching it (which is unheard of for me). And another major point: Siwon needs a bigger gun!
This whole MV just reminded me of Wonder Girls. Also, I think SME needs to work a different angle for SNSD, I think that they're just over-exploiting the girls' legs. For me, their legs are losing their sexiness.
SNSD's 'Hoot'
3. Since when did 2NE1 release a new song? I just happened across it when I was watching random Super Junior vids. How creepy is that?
I've got to say that 'It Hurts' is now my least favourite 2NE1 song, pushing 'Lollipop' up a spot. Although, maybe I'll get used to it. It reminds me of Taeyang's 'I'll Be There' and I didn't like that song when I first heard it, but I grew to like it. However, it might take a while for it to grow on me, because I really don't like the song, audio or MV. I remember listening to the song ages ago when 2NE1 fans were complaining about how releasing 3 high charged songs with a slow song like 'It Hurts' would have been better. And I also remembering listening to 'It Hurts' and thinking 'thank God they didn't MV-release this song!' But they did, and I take back my thanks.
Currently my least favourite 2NE1 song and new release of any KPOP group, including 2PM's 'I'll Be Back.'
2NE1 with 'It Hurts'
4. I finally like Super Junior's 'No Other'! Finally! I can't say that it's my favourite 'Bonamana' song, but it is definately not my least favourite (Haengbok Happiness anyone?). I remember cursing the song to kingdom come when it came out, but I've decided that I like it now. Upon hearing this, my friend has started trying to covert me to become a SHINee 'Hello' supporter, but that song still makes me want to kill magicians (Onew just looks like one to me, thus my homicidal fantasies).
Super Junior and SHINee released two fast paced, sexy songs, 'Bonamana' and 'Lucifer,' respectively, and then released two annoying, follow up, pop songs, 'No Other' and 'Hello,' also respectively. And the decision to do that still makes me want to rip out my hair.
But for your viewing pleasure, here they are.
Super Junior with 'No Other'
And SHINee singing 'Hello'
5. And last but not least, SHINee's Jonghyun has a girlfriend.
Who cares.
Like, I'm sure that there are thousands of rabid fangirls out there currently planing her assassination, but come on, it was bound to happen. JH is a lively guy who likes to enjoy life, it was only a matter of time before he got a girlfriend. I really think that a lot of fangirls are just angry that he came out and said 'hey, I've got a girl,' instead of keeping it secret. Because, I think fangirls would 'look the other way' if he had a rumoured girlfriend, but the moment he told the truth they suddenly feel betrayed.
Peeps. Get a life. Arigato!
Kasi out~~

Anglican and Episcopal leaders from North, South and Central America and the Caribbean are arriving Dec. 6 in the Dominican Republic for a four-day gathering to explore the intersection between poverty and climate change.
"We're hoping to change the conversation in the church from one of climate change to climate justice," said the Rev. P. Joshua "Griff" Griffin, environmental justice missioner in the Diocese of California and one of the conference's organizers.
Representatives from Cuba, the United States, Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic will meet Dec. 7-10 at the Bishop Kellogg Center in San Pedro de MacorÃs, east of the capital Santo Domingo, for the first Episcopal Climate Justice Gathering, convened by Bishop Marc Andrus of the Episcopal Diocese of California, and Bishop Naudal Gomes, Diocese of Curitiba, Brazil.
Click here for the gathering's blog.
The gathering in the Dominican Republic will take place as world leaders convene a second week of climate talks in Cancún, Mexico, for the 2010 U.N. Climate Change Conference, which kicked off Nov. 29. The first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, signed and ratified by 191 nations -- the United States signed but didn't ratify it -- is set to expire in 2012. The protocol commits 37 industrialized nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent (below 1990 levels) by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.
At the 2009 U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, negotiators failed to reach a binding deal to cut greenhouse gases when Kyoto expires. Developing nations are pushing for a second phase of the protocol, including deeper emissions cuts of up to 40 percent by 2020.
Anglicans and Episcopalians meeting in the Dominican Republic in parallel with world leaders in Mexico is "symbolic," said Mike Schut, the Episcopal Church's economic and environmental affairs officer, in a telephone interview.
"If governments are not going to get it together, it's time for grassroots awareness building and action," he said. "This time together in the Dominican Republic could be one significant way to make that happen on an international level."
The gathering, in fact, is the result of a companion diocese relationship between the Episcopal Diocese of California and the Anglican Diocese of Curitiba, in the Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil, Griffin said, in a telephone interview.
The gathering's participants will share information from their own countries; look at climate justice from diverse perspectives; consider the climate change issue in the Dominican Republic; discuss the intersection of Christian theology and climate justice; and explore commitments to work together.
In addition to forming partnerships, the hope, Griffin added, is for the gathering "to build relationships that could be the fabric, the root, of a church- and communion-wide network for climate justice."
Christians are called to take care of creation, said Gomes, in an e-mail.
The church, Gomes added, must work with the United Nations and civic and other organizations to change habits and use technology to reverse the damage humans have had on the environment.
"The church cannot remain outside this call, and other organizations of society should be positioned to act, so that decisions of our governments, which are political decisions, are actually carried out," he said.
Shared faith and companion relationships have the potential to effect great change, said Andrus, in a telephone interview.
"[Archbishop of Canterbury] Rowan Williams wrote a number of years ago that it takes a global body to address global challenges," Andrus said. "The communion -- before the tensions that have caught our minds the last few years -- was a virtual communion; we didn't really function together.
"The attention that we've placed on the existence of the communion over the last few years gives us the chance to be a functioning body regarding globalized challenges. A great deal can be done and has to be done by individuals and congregations in their local context, but we also have to see how we can coordinate efforts across our shared faith and commitments ⦠This presents a great possibility."
