Martha Vs. Mary
How have you been lately?
If one the first word that comes to your mind is "busy", congratulations, you fit in to the same category as about 99% of all American's. (I would say 100%, but let's be honest- the 5 yr. old and under crowd are doing just fine juggling their napping and play-date schedules.)
The point I'm trying to get across is, practically everyone admits to being busy or leading a very over-booked lifestyle. Meaning it must just be the way it goes, right? We all have so many important appointments to go to, deadlines to make, relationships to maintain, church functions to attend, sporting events to see, Dunkin' Donut's coffee runs you HAVE to make(can i get an Amen?!)- so how could we not be busy??
That rationalization has always subconsciously seemed completely justified to me, because it's just how the average human has come to function. It's normal.
That is, until I consider quotes such as this one from Bruce Hindmarsh:
"Busyness is moral laziness. Because it is often a statement of our self-importance and our excuse to be inattentive to people…. But God has given us just enough time to do what we need to do, moment by moment, to respond to Him…Every moment is a sacrament where time touches eternity and there is exactly enough time to do what God has called us to do." - Bruce Hindmarsh
Busyness is moral laziness??
My human defensive nature started to quickly try and come to reasons why that was a completely insane notion…. But the more I pondered his words over and over, the more convicted I became.
Would it be so off to say that we clutter our lives in order to distract ourselves from the possibly difficult tasks the Lord has called us to obey? That we cram our schedules to a point that, even if God was calling upon us to do His work, we couldn't hear or feel it because we are so numb to the Spirit by our overwhelming "to-do" lists?
I use phrases all the time like, "I just don't have enough time" or "There's just no extra space in my schedule for that" and I may really not have any extra time. BUY then I have to ask myself- Are the things that are taking time up my schedule, things that are in response to God's calling on my life or the things I find important to my life?
We shift around and make room in our schedules everyday for deadlines and meniscal errands we have for that day, yet find it impossible to make room to fellowship, build relationships, or disciple.
As I wrestle with this epidemic-sized problem we face as a culture, and my own shortcomings in this area, I am immediately reminded of a particular story in the Bible. In Luke 10, Jesus' visit to the home of Martha and Mary that reads,
"Jesus entered a village. A woman by the name of Martha welcomed him and made him feel quite at home. She had a sister, Mary, who sat before the Master, hanging on every word he said. But Martha was pulled away by all she had to do in the kitchen. Later, she stepped in, interrupting them. "Master, don't you care that my sister has abandoned the kitchen to me? Tell her to lend me a hand."
The Master said, "Martha, dear Martha, you're fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it- and won't be taken from her." - Luke 10:38-42 The Message (MSG)
How many of us are the Martha instead of the Mary in this story?
I'll say it- I'm Martha. With no hesitation. Not that I'm happy about it, but it's the hard truth. And I'd venture to say I'm not alone here.
Dear friends, put yourself in the story- Even if Jesus IN THE FLESH was in your own home, would you sit and listen to Him or would you still find something "important" to do like Martha?? She thought she was pleasing the Lord with her exasperating efforts, but all He wanted was her to be still and listen to Him.
It is important to realize that we are just stewards of the time we are given. We have been given this life, as a gift. A gift with an individual central, divine goal- fulfill the will of God.
That's it. Really.
As Christians, most of us have heard that before, but how many of us actually live that way? We fill our brains and our schedules with so many temporary stresses and obligations that we become numb to the moments He's divinely placed before us.
Time is a gift, each moment is a gift, and we will one day be held accountable for how we used it.
With saying all of this, It's important to know that there is grace in all things, friends. We aren't always going to handle our days in a way that glorifies and honers God, because this is a messy world with a lot of messy people… But we can try.
God is "merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness"(Psalm 86:15). When we come to Him humbly and confess our sinful stewardship of the time He's given us, He is there to first, forgive and secondly, to "guide and direct us"(Psalms 32:8) So rejoice in knowing you are already forgiven, but in return, it only makes sense to give back to God some of the time He has so graciously given to us.
So if I may, I challenge anyone reading this, that in the next battle between your inner "Martha vs. Mary", realize the eternal value of choosing Mary's way. To "be still & know that He is God".

Hello everyone! Happy Halloween!
Do you have big plans tonight? We will be taking our kids trick - or - treating in true Seattle style. Rain. But, I'm sure we will have a great time anyway! Last year it dumped rain. One of the houses in our neighborhood gave out cups of cocoa instead of candy. That was awesome, especially because that house is about halfway through our usual route.
Today, I have a simple halloween card to share with you.
This fun z-fold card features the Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Whatever you are doing tonight, I hope you have a fun, and safe Halloween!
Thanks so much for stopping by!~Nichole

I'm ashamed. It's not a shallow shame, like when you forget your spouse's birthday. It's a deep shame. A shame that nags at you after you realize you could've done more, but didn't.
When I was in my twenties, I became aware of the plight of calves raised for veal on factory farms. Pictures of young cows confined in wooden crates, unable to lie down, sickened me. I later learned that most chickens, turkeys, pigs and cows are horribly mistreated during their short lives on factory farms before being slaughtered to satisfy somebody's palate.
Watching Food, Inc.
I gradually became vegetarian and proclaimed that I wouldn't eat anything that had a face. I was doing my part, I thought, to challenge the appalling meat industry, and I slept easier for it—until I watched Food, Inc.
Who would've thought I'd need a box of tissues to get through a documentary about America's corporate food system? My eyes welled up with tears as I watched merciless farm workers grab live birds by the legs and toss them like bags of trash. Hundreds of downy yellow chicks rolled on conveyor belts as if they were automobile parts. Cattle were beaten and prodded into submission. Forklift operators scooped up dairy cows that were too weak to stand, so they could be sent off to slaughter. Suddenly, not eating meat didn't seem like enough.
Buy local and organic was one of the film's messages. I restricted my daily yogurt regimen to organic brands and purchased milk in nostalgic glass bottles from a local dairy. I bought pricey pasture-raised eggs produced by chickens that supposedly live outside and do what chickens are meant to do: sun themselves, scratch for food and take dust baths. I felt better about myself—until I met Jenny Brown.
Meeting Jenny Brown
One day, an ad in the Sunday newspaper caught my eye. Jenny Brown, author of The Lucky Ones: My Passionate Fight for Farm Animals, was scheduled to speak at a local bookstore. I'd never heard of Jenny, but after my cry-fest during Food, Inc., the title of her book grabbed me.
Jenny, an animal rights activist and co-founder of Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in High Falls, New York, is a petite brunette with a wide smile. She talked about the childhood cancer that claimed her right leg, below the knee, when she was 10 years old. Then, she wasted no time getting to her life's mission: farm animal welfare. "Cancer was a blip in my life compared with what I have ahead of me," she says in her book.
Jenny had me captivated for two hours, and I could've easily listened to her for two more. She talked about her first cat, Boogie, who helped her realize that animals are capable of complex emotions; her discovery, in college, that animals raised for food are horrifically mistreated; and how she and her husband founded the animal sanctuary that's now home to hundreds of rescued farm animals.
Every dollar we spend on animal foods produced in a factory farm environment sends the message that we support a system that practices abuse.
Jenny's message throughout her talk was that we must fight for helpless, abused farm animals, primarily by reducing our consumption of animal products and educating and encouraging others so that they do the same. It's a matter of supply and demand. Every dollar we spend on animal foods produced in a factory farm environment sends the message that we support a system that practices abuse.
Milk, cheese and eggs passed my "did it have a face" test, so I thought there was no harm in consuming them. For years, I gulped down a gallon of milk each week. Yogurt was my daily mid-morning snack, and cheese sandwiches were a mainstay in my brown-bag lunches. Who knows how many eggs I ingested in the form of baked goods? But I never made the connection.
The plight of calves
Jenny told us how newborn calves of dairy cows are taken from their mothers one to three days after birth. The farmer makes his or her money per gallon (or litre) of milk, so allowing calves to drink their mother's milk wastes profits. Instead, calves are given a cheap powdered milk replacement that's laden with antibiotics to keep them from getting sick because of stress. The girls, who will eventually replace their mothers in the herd, are moved to another facility. The males are sold very young, usually to veal farmers, for their meat.
Oh, my god. In all the years I'd been vegetarian, I'd never realized that male calves born to milk cows are the calves that become someone's veal dinner. The dairy industry drives the veal industry that led me to become vegetarian. And I'd been blindly consuming dairy products all along!
How could I have been so ignorant, for so many years?! The shame engulfed me, and has been with me ever since.
As horrible as life is for animals raised for meat on factory farms, the misery of milk cows and hens used within the corporate dairy and egg industries is worse. Treated like commercial machines, pumping out milk and eggs at an unnatural rate, the animals suffer longer than their counterparts raised for meat.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) website, bovine growth hormones, unnatural diets and selective breeding for massive milk production force today's dairy cows to produce 10 times more milk than cows who lived a few decades ago. Milk cows are artificially inseminated and spend most of their lives pregnant. They suffer from mastitis, a painful bacterial infection that causes a cow's udders to swell; surgical mutilation without painkillers, such as tail docking and dehorning; and the separation of mother and baby.
Egg-laying hens
The ASPCA website also says that most egg-laying hens in the United States live in long, windowless sheds where up to 10 hens are packed together in one wire cage that's approximately the size of a file drawer. A portion of each hen's beak is burned or sliced off (known as debeaking), without painkillers, to lessen the fighting that erupts because the birds are forced into such tight quarters.
Sadly, even farms that promote cage-free or free-range hens keep the birds in overcrowded henhouses and practice debeaking. And most egg producers, even those that label their hens as pasture-raised, have chicks delivered from a hatchery through the mail. No food or water is provided while the chicks are in transit. Millions of baby birds are dead when they reach their destinations.
In my half-century of living, there hasn't been much that has stirred passion in me. But Jenny's talk roused something in me that I'd never experienced before. It was anger, pity and helplessness rolled together with the nagging feeling that I'd been contributing to something terribly wrong for a long time.
Going vegan
I walked in the door after Jenny's talk, and announced that I'd stop supporting the dairy and egg industries. The decision was that quick.
After decades of ignorance, I've largely transitioned to a plant-based diet. No longer a passive vegetarian, I'm trying to educate others about the appalling level of animal cruelty within our food system.
At times, fighting such powerful mega-corporations makes me feel small and helpless. But every day, more people are joining the plant-based movement, which gives me hope that farm animal abuse can be abolished and some of the "kind" can be returned to "humankind."

So, your car is getting a bit old and tired – and you're wondering whether the time has come to buy something newer? If so, you are probably also wondering what is the best way to finance your new car.
So here are five practical tips to help you in the process of getting your car loan.
1. Make sure you have a clean credit rating
Most banks and finance companies will be reluctant to lend you money if you have a history of poor credit. Some might agree to lend but will charge higher interest rates. So the first thing you should do is make sure you have cleared any outstanding debts before you consider applying for a new loan.
2. Work out a budget, so you know how much you can afford
Borrowing to buy a car will mean a commitment to monthly repayments over 3 years or more. You need to have a clear idea of your income and existing expenses, so you know how much you can afford in monthly repayments on your car finance. You can use our car loan calculator to help you crunch the numbers.
3. Compare different lenders
There's a wide range of options for borrowing money for a car – from your bank through to smaller finance companies that specialise in lending money for vehicles. So shop around and look for the best interest rate. You could potentially save hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars in repayments over the term of the loan.
4. Read the fine print to make sure you really are getting the interest rate being advertised
Many finance companies will advertise interest rates as "from" a certain amount. This means they are advertising the lowest rate they offer – but it doesn't mean that they will give that low rate to everyone. In some cases, the lowest rate will only apply if you borrow over a certain amount. Also, rates can change regularly, so make sure you are actually getting the advertised rate.
5. Consolidate other debts into one loan
If you have existing debts such as credits cards and hire purchase, it can often make sense to combine these into one loan – at a lower interest rate. Enquire of your prospective lender whether this is possible, It can not only reduce your total repayments but also make things easier to manage if you have only one monthly payment.
How much can you afford to borrow?
With interest rates now lower than they have been for many years (and likely to go even lower), the cost of borrowing to buy a car has become more affordable. This is great news, as it means you can afford a better car for the same amount of monthly repayments, compared with what it would have cost a few years ago.
Of course, you also need to use common sense. Don't stretch yourself too far. You should make sure you have enough money left over each week to cover unexpected emergencies. So you need to work out a budget before going ahead with a car loan.
Use our car loan calculator to work out the repayments on the amount you are proposing to borrow. In fact, we can often go even lower than the repayments shown on this calculator, so please contact us to get a firm quote on your proposed loan. We can even get your car loan approved within 2 hours in many cases!

Nine Years Today/
It's been nine years. Like most of you, I remember it like it was yesterday. I doubt any of us will completely wipe the images from our minds, whether we want to or not. My mom has mentioned a couple of times that it was her JFK, and her mother's Pearl Harbor. Every generation since World War 2 has had a defining moment - one that has changed the way our country, and culture, developed and grew over the next years. This observation does lead me to wonder - what will the next event be? And when will it occur?
Perhaps the next defining moment will be a positive one - a decisive battle that clinches the victory in Afghanistan. Or maybe a sudden upswing in the economy. But I doubt it. Happy things are rarely remembered by many - our culture dwells on the negative, perhaps as a way to avoid past mistakes, or to keep us grounded.
Whatever the reason, we come upon the ninth anniversary of my generation's defining moment. And it does seem fitting, in a way, that this morning a group of radio control aviators will take to the skies in the brilliant sheen of warbirds from conflicts past - a nod back to my grandparents' defining moment on the shores of Hawaii.
So today, I choose to not mourn those that have fallen, but celebrate their sacrifice - the blood that was spilled nine years ago today. I am choosing to celebrate the country they held dear, as we all do. And I choose to pay my respects to those that defend this country so that our citizens shan't have to bear the burden of that sacrifice again.
There are young people alive today that don't remember 9/11. They either weren't here yet, or were too young to understand it all. But their generation will have a defining moment, just as we had, and just as those before us did as well.
I pray that moment will be a positive one, but if not - I know that America can, and forever will be able to, endure. But it will never be able to forget. And that, my friends, is the way it should be.
God Bless America.

There is no need to rename India as Bharat, the government has told the Supreme Court, according to the Indian Express.
The Article 1 (1) of the Constitution says that "name and territory of the Union.—(1) India, that is Bharat, shall be
a Union of States" and the Home Ministry has told the court that "there is no change in circumstances to consider any change in Article 1 of the Constitution of India," according to the report.
In its affidavit the MHA has said issues regarding the country's name have been deliberated upon extensively by the Constituent Assembly during drafting of the Constitution and there was no need for a review.
The Supreme Court had sought comments from the Centre and the states on a plea demanding change in the name of the country from 'India' to 'Bharat', PTI reported in April this year.
A bench comprising Chief Justice H L Dattu and Justice Arun Mishra had issued the notice to all state governments and union territories on the PIL which called for restraining the Centre from using the name of India for any government purposes and in official papers.
The petition filed by Niranjan Bhatwal, claiming to be a social activist from Maharashtra, said that even the non-government organisations and corporates should be directed to use 'Bharat' for all official and unofficial purposes.
The PIL said in the Constituent Assembly, the prominent suggestions for naming the country were "Bharat, Hindustan, Hind and Bharatbhumi or Bharatvarsh and names of that kind".
Among the various questions raised in the PIL were whether insertion of India in Article 1 of the Constitution was just for reference, in order to repeal the Government of India Act 1935, and the Indian Independence Act 1947, wherein this country had been referred to as India, and sought to be repealed by Article 395 of the Constitution.
Further, it asked whether insertion of 'India' was mere referential for de-jure recognition of the country by countries of other parts of the world for diplomatic purposes.
The PIL also said whether Hindi language excerpts of Article 1 Clause 1 of the Constitution denotes the same meaning, as it denotes in the English language of the Constitution in relation to establish the name of the country. (With inputs from PTI)

After Life
Chris Wilson was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder. Today he's making deals with celebrities and Fortune 500 companies. This is the story of a man who saved himself...
CONTENT WARNING: This interview contains disturbing facts.
Breaker Chris Wilson often begins his speeches with Plato's allegory of the cave. The Cave was Plato's way of describing the blindness with which citizens are forced to view society, chained to a wall where only shadows of the truth are visible. Only through an awakening of the mind can citizens free themselves from the cave, and see things for how they really are.
The Cave may be an even better allegory, however, for Wilson himself, a man who spent sixteen years in prison for first degree murder. It was his mind, a decision made within himself, and a plan to overcome, that set him free.
In our interview with Chris, we learn the devastating and incredible story of how a man saved his own life through planning, perseverance, and a poster of the Paypal Mafia…
So, how did you end up with a life sentence?
I grew up in Northeast Washington D.C. In the early 90's there was a crime spike in D.C, and it became the murder capital of the world. My mom started dating a crooked cop, sort of like Denzel in Training Day. Needless to say he hated me, and one day he knocked me out and raped my mom in front of me and bashed her skull in with his service weapon. She survived, but she became depressed and got addicted to booze and prescription pills. She could never work after that.
The cop did eighteen months in prison, and when he got out he started stalking us, so my family started carrying guns. My cousin didn't bring a gun one day when he went to the store, and they found both my cousin and brother shot—my brother seven times and my cousin seventeen times in the face. My cousin died and my brother miraculously survived. I was seventeen.
A short time later, I was approached by some men, asking if I was Chris Wilson, saying they'd been watching me. They circled me and made threats. At that point I pulled out my gun and opened fire. Unfortunately, I ended up taking a man's life.
While we were awaiting trial, people came to my father's house, where my brother was laying low. They carved up my brother with a butcher knife, robbed the house, tied everyone up, and cut my father's throat, where he bled out on the kitchen floor.
At trial, I was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
How did you get out after only sixteen years?
It was a long process, but it started with a flash. I'd been depressed. I was told that since I was serving life, that this is where I'd die, and I believed it at first. So I was smoking a lot of weed, which was easy to find in prison, and being depressed. But one day I just snapped and said, "there's no way I'm going out like this."
So I started writing a list of the things I wanted to do with my life, things I was going to commit myself to every day. Things like getting my high school diploma, going to college, learning Spanish, writing a book, and getting a black Corvette convertible. Most importantly, I wanted to help impoverished communities, like the one I grew up in, and give back by creating opportunities.
So I set to work on the list. I ended up getting my high school diploma, my college degree, learning several foreign languages: Spanish, Italian, a bit of Mandarin, I started a book club, a self-help group, a career center, and became a gang mediator.
For 10 years straight, I worked on my plan. Every year, I sent updates on the plan to a new judge on my case.
At the time I had started talking to God, praying mostly although I did speak out loud to Him, hoping He would send me a sign. Two weeks later, my lawyer came to see me and said that he didn't know why, but the judge had a change of heart and wanted to see me. I stood in front of the judge and told her of not only my remorse and the events that led up to the charges, but of my self-education and the plans I would carry out if given a second chance. The judge said that what I'd done in prison was nothing short of amazing. She offered me a second chance, but only if I did everything that was in my Master Plan. She agreed to resentence me to life all suspended by twenty-four years, which meant I could get out for good behavior in sixteen. And that's what happened.
What did you do when you got out?
I left with nothing more than $50 and my Master Plan. I went to Baltimore because I saw it as a place where I could grow and give back.
I knew a few people, people that would buy me books while in prison, and they asked me what I needed to get on my feet. I told them $500 and they laughed! But they loaned it to me. I took $300 of that and bought a lawn mower and a gas can from Home Depot, and a $10 phone from Radio Shack. I took over my whole neighborhood by doing lawn mowing and landscaping.
After I got stable, I reached out to the University of Baltimore, and they accepted me. That started me on the path to where I am now, running two businesses, being a community organizer and speaking. Oh, and of course driving my black corvette convertible!
So it was smooth sailing from then on?
No not at all. It was still very, very hard. When I went to prison, my mom had to finance the house, and it quickly went into foreclosure and she became homeless. She ended up moving, of all places, to a Native American reservation in South Dakota. When I got out I called her and she thought I had broke out of prison. We talked on the phone for awhile, but she sounded odd, she was apologizing a lot… something just wasn't right. After we hung up, she wrote a letter and committed suicide.
I used the pain as motivation. Fifty-two days later, I found a job at Strong City Baltimore in Community Organizing and Work Force Development—a job I had always dreamed of. But I still needed more to move along the Master Plan, so I raised some money and started a furniture and restoration company called The House of DaVinci. I borrowed money, which was very expensive at a 20% interest rate, and made $30,000 in 30 days working with some very wealthy and upscale clientele.
Then I started another company Barclay Investment Corporation that works with people in extremely impoverished and violent neighborhoods, providing contracting jobs. We've been doing that for around two years now, working all over the city with some of the big contractors, big developers, putting in art installations, you name it. We go into neighborhoods that need work and invest in them; get them I.D.s if they need them, give them clothes, and they produce a return by paying back their taxes, and saving their wages by staying out of prison. We met recently with Bob Embry from the Abell Foundation—and he's agreed to give us a $100,000 line of credit guarantee for our operations. We also have a grant from Bill Clark at the OSPREY Foundation and he's giving us a few thousand dollars for some trucks. And, every month, he's going to give us $1500 for insurance costs and upkeep on the trucks/equipment.
We want to be comfortable, hire more people, and grow steadily…and that is the Master Plan.
What else do you think Baltimore needs right now to grow in the right way?
There are so many Chris's, people like me out here, and what we need is a low tech incubator. I mean, the kind of work we do is dumb in the sense that it's not hard, it's fairly simple, but it's very profitable and has good margins. We just need a chance to get them up and running.
You're also a major speaker, telling your story at big conferences and events. What sets you apart from other speakers? What is your unique message?
Usually, folks just want me to tell my story, but if I meet with businesses, I give them my side of things and try to inspire change. It's important that I remind them I'm not an exception to the rule—I'm not special. Again, there are a lot of Chris's all over the city. I advocate to give ex-offenders a chance—to be patient with us, because we know that we need a job and want to get back to living a normal life.
But not all of those ex-offenders are Chris's. What have you learned that's made you so much more successful than most who leave prison?
You have got to be patient. Pride is going to mess you up when you get out. There's going to be opportunities for quick hustles that will end you back in jail. Whereas I wasn't going to let that happen. I knew I wasn't going to do a quick hustle, that doesn't work. I created a very "dumb" small-time business mowing lawns and had to do that for a long time before I started to get my feet under me. Then I was fortunate enough to have a few people call me and see what I needed to go further and made sure I was doing the right things. It's all about starting small.
And now you're working on mega projects with Under Armour's Development firm Sagamore, Howard Shultz and Alicia Keys?
Haha, yeah well that's in the works. Sagamore has expressed interest in supporting my company. I was asked to set up a meeting with Alicia Keys, Kevin Plank, and Howard Shultz (Starbucks) after working with Alicia's We Are Here campaign and Cut50, both organizations that work towards criminal justice policy reform. So, I knew it would be a tough thing to do, but I reached out to the Under Armour people and they agreed to talk. We think that the next step is to change HR policy to better foster opportunities for ex-offenders. These three people coming together could make a huge difference in so many peoples' lives just by using their influence. So my fingers are crossed.
Having literally gone from mingling with those at the very bottom to those at the very top, is there anyone you really look up to?
I still idolize the "PayPal Mafia." [The group of ex-paypal employees that went on to change the world of tech]. I remember in prison, my cell buddy and I hung that up that photo of them, all dressed up like mobsters, in our cell and said that that is what we'd look like one day. Out, and successful.

Lily James on Getting in Zombie-Slaying Shape—And Why Nude Scenes Are the Best Motivation
When you think of the lissome maidens on-screen today, there's good reason that Lily James comes to mind. The English actress showed off her poise and golden '20s finger waves as Lady Rose Aldridge on Downton Abbey before stepping into Cinderella's shoes in last year's live-action Disney film. With her fine porcelain features and pitch-perfect accent, she seems so cut from the Jane Austen cloth that it's hard to believe she hasn't appeared in one of the many adaptations until today, when Pride and Prejudice and Zombies hits theaters.
Of course, the film, based on Seth Grahame-Smith's 2009 mash-up novel, isn't just any adaptation—and the skills her Elizabeth Bennet displays go far beyond ballroom dances and piano playing to include martial arts, swordplay, and hand-to-hand combat. "I've been training for this my whole life," her character says of her zombie-slaying prowess, and, in turn, James underwent serious training of her own. Speaking recently by phone from Los Angeles, she talked about her unorthodox early-morning workouts, off-screen bonding with her fellow Bennet sisters (including Bella Heathcote and Suki Waterhouse), and why Angelina Jolie Pitt in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was an inspiration.
Did you come to this script already a Jane Austen fan?
I feel like just by being born in England as a girl, it's sort of ingrained that you will love Jane Austen. I studied her at school, and I've seen loads of the adaptations. So when I saw the title, I was quite mortified—I hadn't heard about this Pride and Prejudice book that Seth had written and that it was a best seller. Then I read the script and really fell in love with it, and it washed away all those fears I had about tampering with Jane Austen and adding zombies into her work. [laughs]
You've done a number of fair-maiden roles where you're decidedly not ripped, but here you play a character whose arms Mr. Darcy describes as "surprisingly muscular." Was that an unusual twist for you?
Yeah, it was great. I loved the fighting. The Bennet sisters were like Spice Girls with swords, and I felt so proud that it was the girls leading the action and on the front line, and the boys [who] were the damsels in distress. To do that in a period drama is so surreal because it just would never have happened.
Your Elizabeth Bennet trained in the Shaolin temple. Who did you work with to prepare for the role?
James Farmer. He's an incredible trainer in London. I was really unfit—I've been doing Downton Abbey and having way too many biscuits and just drinking tea, really—so I got really, really strong. He would come around to my flat, and I felt like I was waking up the entire block of apartments. He had me whacking baseball bats against punching bags and working on my coordination, and then I started doing boxing, which was really useful. He even had me pushing his car around the car park where I live! The exercises are not only really hard, but they're also very inventive and fun. After that, all the girls got together, and we started working with the fight coordinator, Maurice Lee, and also this dude from Lithuania, who was a martial arts king.
What was the mood like among the five of you? Did anyone emerge as a total natural?
Each of the girls is so perfect for that character, so all our fight rhythms and techniques and strengths were really different. And that was the point—that we all sort of had each other's backs. That emerged really organically and naturally. Ellie [Bamber], who plays Lydia, was much more fiery and feisty and had little needles, whereas I was a bit more graceful and had a sword and a dagger, and [Heathcote was] the most graceful and much more kung fu. We all really helped each other out because half the time we were way out of our depth. Poor Sam Riley—in the proposal scene where I fight Darcy, I got so carried away in the heat of the moment that I was whacking him so hard! He was very patient.
What's your usual exercise plan? Is there a quintessentially English approach to fitness?
I go through phases of exercise, and I do begin to feel bad if I'm not moving my body and stretching. But at the moment, I'm not doing anything, and I kind of love it: My boobs get really big when I don't exercise [laughs]. But I walk everywhere and also cycle. I'm doing a play next year in the West End—Romeo and Juliet—and if I cycle from where I live to work every day, that would be quite a good hour. I also enjoy training for work. I just did a film called The Kaiser's Last Kiss, and I knew I had to get naked for the first time. I didn't want to lose weight or anything but just wanted to feel really confident, so I did some work with [Farmer] focusing on the back of my legs and my bum. I like it when you've got a reason to be exercising. It takes a lot of willpower just to do it for nothing!
Was there a horror-film heroine who inspired you?
I have to admit, I watched Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider as my woman-power inspiration. I just think she rocks in that. I also love Linda Hamilton in The Terminator, the original one. So strong and so real. I really wanted the fighting to feel convincing, and I didn't get to go as far with the muscles and the strength as she did, but I thought that dedication and that determination was really necessary.
How did you get in the zombie-slaying mind-set during filming?
Radiohead and FKA twigs was my go-to [music] to get me pumped up. I would blast that out in my ears. And I totally [worked on my] diet—having a big, healthy appetite with meat and fish—to keep my energy up.

Course handbook
Deals with the most violent age in European history, 1900-1945. Why did the period following the First World War see the rise of Mussolini and Hitler? Why were European societies polarised by extremist ideologies of the left and the right? What links were there between fascist repression and militarist expansionism? How do we explain the genocidal impulses of fascism? This course takes an in-depth look at Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. It looks at the economic, social and political forces that gave rise to fascism, its methods of rule, and its drive to total warfare, particularly on the Soviet front. In this context, it also looks at the debates concerning the Jewish Holocaust and differing interpretations of fascism and its representation.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has made it official. The Air Force tanker contract will be rebid. He says a decision on who will build the tanker is supposed to be made by December, it will address all of the GAO findings, and he is transferring the authority to pick a winner to the Pentagon, away from the Air Force. Sec. Gates says, however, "This does not represent a return to the first step of the procedure."
(Northrop Grumman/EADs had been awarded the $35 Billion contract over Boeing, and Boeing had been contesting the contract.)
Gates is putting Under Secretary John Young in charge of picking a winner, a final blow to the Air Force. But Acting Secretary of the Air Force Mike Donnelly says he fully supports that decision.
Donnelly was not on the job during the original source selection process, having been hired only a few weeks ago after Gates fired top Air Force brass. Donnelly feels that in an environment of fewer contracts and fewer contractors, putting the Pentagon in control is a "appropriate and necessary step" to ensure the confidence of Congress and the public.
Under Secretary Young says once a selection is made (adding that the December deadline "is a goal"), the Air Force will be in charge of managing and executing the contract. He says the Defense Department will expedite the decision making process, but not expedite the steps in the process, saying it will be done "methodically, fairly, and showing no bias." He hopes to change "the minimum amount of things" in the new bidding process, rather than changing all the rules.
Secretary Gates adds that he hopes to avoid another challenge by communicating honestly with both companies (another slap at the Air Force), so that there is "nothing done that is not fair."
Here is the statement from Northrop Grumman to today's announcement:
"Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) applauds Defense Secretary Gates and Under Secretary Young for recognizing that the acquisition of replacement refueling tankers for the Air Force should be put on a path toward quick closure. We are reviewing the decision to ensure the re-competition will provide both companies a fair opportunity to present the strengths of their proposals. The United States Air Force has already picked the best tanker, and we are confident that it will do so again. Our men and women in uniform deserve nothing less. The Northrop Grumman KC-45 tanker is needed now and is ready now."

Bioethics is the study of the typically controversial ethical issues emerging from new situations and possibilities brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also moral discernment as it relates to medical policy and practice. Bioethicists are concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences, biotechnology, medicine, politics, law, and philosophy. It also includes the study of the more commonplace questions of values ("the ethics of the ordinary") which arise in primary care and other branches of medicine.

The term Bioethics (Greek bios, life; ethos, behavior) was coined in 1926 by Fritz Jahr, who "anticipated many of the arguments and discussions now current in biological research involving animals" in an article about the "bioethical imperative," as he called it, regarding the scientific use of animals and plants.[1] In 1970, the American biochemist Van Rensselaer Potter also used the term with a broader meaning including solidarity towards the biosphere, thus generating a "global ethics," a discipline representing a link between biology, ecology, medicine and human values in order to attain the survival of both human beings and other animal species.[2][3]
Purpose and scope
The field of bioethics has addressed a broad swathe of human inquiry, ranging from debates over the boundaries of life (e.g.

Areas of health sciences that are the subject of published, peer-reviewed bioethical analysis include:
Many religious communities have their own histories of inquiry into bioethical issues and have developed rules and guidelines on how to deal with these issues from within the viewpoint of their respective faiths. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths have each developed a considerable body of literature on these matters. In the case of many non-Western cultures, a strict separation of religion from philosophy does not exist. In many Asian cultures, for example, there is a lively discussion on bioethical issues. Buddhist bioethics, in general, is characterised by a naturalistic outlook that leads to a rationalistic, pragmatic approach. Buddhist bioethicists include Damien Keown. In India, Vandana Shiva is a leading bioethicist speaking from the Hindu tradition. In Africa, and partly also in Latin America, the debate on bioethics frequently focuses on its practical relevance in the context of underdevelopment and geopolitical power relations.
Bioethicists come from a wide variety of backgrounds and have training in a diverse array of disciplines. The field contains individuals trained in philosophy such as interdisciplinary, with some critics even claiming that the methods of analytic philosophy have had a negative effect on the field's development. Leading journals in the field include The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, The Hastings Center Report, the American Journal of Bioethics, the Journal of Medical Ethics and the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics. Bioethics has also benefited from the process philosophy developed by Alfred North Whitehead.[10]
Perspectives and methodology
Medical ethics tends to be understood narrowly as an applied professional ethics, whereas bioethics appears to have worked more expansive concerns, touching upon the philosophy of science and issues of biotechnology. Still, the two fields often overlap and the distinction is more a matter of style than professional consensus. Medical ethics shares many principles with other branches of healthcare ethics, such as nursing ethics. A bioethicist assists the health care and research community in examining moral issues involved in our understanding of life and death, and resolving ethical dilemmas in medicine and science.
Medical ethics is the study of moral values and judgments as they apply to medicine. As a scholarly discipline, medical ethics encompasses its practical application in clinical settings as well as work on its history, philosophy, theology, and sociology.
Medical ethics
Another important principle of bioethics is its placement of value on discussion and presentation. Numerous discussion based bioethics groups exist in universities across the United States to champion exactly such goals. Examples include the Ohio State Bioethics Society[8] and the Bioethics Society of Cornell.[9] Professional level versions of these organizations also exist.
One of the first areas addressed by modern bioethicists was that of human experimentation. The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research was initially established in 1974 to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects. However, the fundamental principles announced in the Belmont Report (1979)—namely, autonomy, beneficence and justice—have influenced the thinking of bioethicists across a wide range of issues. Others have added non-maleficence, human dignity and the sanctity of life to this list of cardinal values.
The scope of bioethics can expand with biotechnology, including cloning, gene therapy, life extension, human genetic engineering, astroethics and life in space,[5] and manipulation of basic biology through altered DNA, XNA and proteins.[6] These developments will affect future evolution, and may require new principles that address life at its core, such as biotic ethics that values life itself at its basic biological processes and structures, and seeks their propagation.[7]
innovations, and the timing of medical treatment of humans. Others would broaden the scope of ethical evaluation to include the morality of all actions that might help or harm organisms capable of feeling fear. technological Some bioethicists would narrow ethical evaluation only to the morality of medical treatments or [4]

Practice Authenticity, Truth, and Compassion
I'm exhausted. I feel like I've had the rug pulled out from under me. This week has been tough. It started on the highest of highs and ended on a heartbreaking low. So much happened in such a small amount of time. The crazy thing is that everything had to do with each other. This week was one huge lesson in living.
It all started on Sunday when I watched the woman who changed my life stand with her ensemble and accept a Golden Globe for their incredible TV show Transparent. This wasn't a win for only Alex, it was a win for the LGBTQ community and anyone who has ever been afraid to live truthfully. Alex is larger than life. She has changed thousands of lives with her spirit, her truth, and her art. Watching her moment in the spotlight was one of the happiest moments of my life. My phone lit up with thousands of text messages from friends who were jumping on couches and screaming from rooftops. Facebook exploded. We watched someone finally rewarded and recognized for something they've deserved their entire life.
I met Alexandra Billings a few months after my brother passed away. When Scott died it was like a gun went off at the start of the biggest race of my life. I was sprinting, running as fast as I could away from what was happening. I threw myself into my art, desperate to feel something and to make sense of my loss. A few weeks after his passing, I started a summer intensive with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. In a way, I feel like my brother sent Alex to me.
Being with Alex is terrifying, exciting, revealing, and chaotic. You never know what to expect when you walk into the room. There are no rules, she only asks that you look around with wonder, challenge yourself, and remain honest and truthful. We used to call class with Alex Angel Boot Camp. She taught me how to be authentic. She showed me how to appreciate every single moment and to be grateful. To be grateful that I am alive, that I have a voice, and to be grateful to have had my brother for as long as I did. She taught me how to look in the mirror and see my flaws as beauty, to let go of my fears, and to say yes to myself. It took years. I wouldn't be who I am without her and to see her stand on stage, beaming, exuding gratitude with her groundbreaking ensemble just reminded me how important it is to be authentic. (There was an amazing interview done with Alex a few weeks ago that if you have a minute you should definitely read. CLICK HERE for more.)
Then my friend passed away. It was a terrifying reminder how fragile life can be. It's hard to understand how quickly life actually can be taken from you. How tomorrow really isn't promised. Anything can happen. That day we found out I stood with my friend and co-worker trying to make sense of it all. We talked about our lives, goals, family, and friends. We talked about what we would do differently if we knew we were to die tomorrow. Death has a funny way of forcing you to re-evaluate your world. My friend told me that if something were to happen to them that they don't want to be remembered for living a lie. You see, they are gay and though they are out to all of their friends, their parent's and family don't know.
It's heartbreaking. Here we are about to bury one of our friends who was about to begin a huge part of her life. She had just given birth a week ago. She's a Mother who was unwillingly taken from their husband, family, and newborn. I have a mother who actually unwillingly lost a son and I can't understand how a parent can turn their back and willingly lose a child due to their sexual orientation. It's inhuman. Last night I woke up to a text from my friend telling me that they had decided to come out to their parents. I wish their parents would have just told them, "we know" or "we still love you." But they are upset. And though it doesn't make any sense to me, I hope that they will step up to the cliff, challenge whatever it is that's making them feel shame, and leap. To accept their child because here's the kicker, nothing's changed. Nothing.
I am fiercely proud of my friend for finally stepping into the light. For choosing not to live their life terrified that their family won't love and accept them. You don't get to see what you want to see, that's not how life works. Everyone must step into the light, courageously choosing authenticity.
Alex wrote this last week on January 8, 2015 and I think it speaks volumes:
Hug your people. Be compassionate and truthful. Say yes. Until tomorrow, #RunSelfieRepeat.

I always dreamed on doing an engagement session at The Guinness Storehouse since moving to Ireland 7 years ago (time flies when you are having fun I guess!!) and I did had the opportunity to shoot several times in the Guinness Storehouse for commercial photography and every time I would see another corner I thought would be fun to have a couple for it!
Finally I met these two and convinced them to let me go and let me explore and have fun there and oh boy I'm so happy with the result and I hope you like it too.
I've been saying for a long time how I think engagement sessions are just so important and this year I've been making sure my couples have some awesome photographs to look back years from now and also to have fun while creating those memories.
I really hope you guys enjoy it and if you want some cool pictures of you and your partner why not to think outside the box? Which place would be your dream location for a shoot? Let me know and let's make this happen!

Welcome to Positively Filipino/
I got married (again) in 2010, and my brood now includes two sons, two daughters-in-law and four grandchildren. I visit the Philippines at least twice a year to see my father who is turning 90 this coming February and to spend time with my older son and his family and my siblings. I enjoy traveling, so I visited Peru, New Zealand, China and the Scandinavian countries in the past years. And I have gotten involved in many Asian American non-profits and small projects for the community every now and then. So my plate has been full.
But I would bump into some of you at events, and again you would ask, "Why not a new magazine? There is nothing else out there. We have lost our voice." I, too, felt that way but I didn't know if we could recapture the magic of twenty years ago. But I believe in the story of the Filipino, so here's another shot.
POSITIVELY FILIPINO fills a need not only in cyberspace, but also in our own consciousness. As Filipinos become more visible and acknowledged worldwide, we need to let each other and other people hear our stories and ideas. We need to share our dreams and aspirations and be part of the global community. We need a site where people can find anything Filipino, good stories and good writing, one with a Filipino voice and perspective that will make us proud to be Filipino.
Together with my former editors at Filipinas Magazine, Rene Ciria-Cruz and Gemma Nemenzo, former art director Raymond Virata and newcomer F. M. Ricarte, the tech evangelist who teaches us everything we need to know about the Internet and social media, we have created this Beta Blog to get you started on POSITIVELY FILIPINO. We intend to formally launch on January 1, 2013 with a fully constructed website. In the meantime, please read our stories in this Beta Blog. It's an introduction to what you will find in POSITIVELY FILIPINO. Submit your own stories and give us feedback. And if you like this Beta Blog, please pass it along to your friends and relatives, then become a regular visitor to the POSITIVELY FILIPINO website once we are fully launched. Check it out as often as you want because we will be updating it regularly.
Thank you for your support and encouragement. We hope you will join us on this journey.
Maligayang Pasko at Masaganang Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat! A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all of you!

The Priory House is one of thousands of host residences built alongside the great mediaeval European routes. Intended to receive distinguished guests, aristocrats and high prelates of the Church, this building is probably the last remaining example of these legendary palaces.
During the Middle Ages, Romainmôtier was situated on one of the pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela. In 1280, the prior, Pierre Aymon de Playsie, gave the order to construct the Priory House in the premises of the court of the abbey and the monastery.
From 1536, after the invasion of the Bernese, the abbey was dismissed and the monks were expelled. After the departure of the Bernese in 1798, different private owners succeeded each other and made numerous changes.
In 1959, Katharina von Arx, journalist and traveller, bought the building and discovered the hidden treasures that it contained. It was then designated historical monument of national importance.
Currently, several suites can be hired. Delicious homemade tarts are prepared in the tearoom on the ground floor.

Why You Will Never Make Progress Without Self-Awareness/
"Know Thyself." - Scribes of Delphi
Imagine you have just been hired as CEO of a Fortune 500 company. You're excited about all of the changes and improvements you can make for the company, and you're eager to get started. But, there's a catch - you have no information.
Accounting, finance, sales, marketing, you have absolutely no numbers on any of them from the time before you took over, or during your tenure as CEO. So how would you make the best decisions for the company? If you have no quantifiable data, how can you see if any of your new ideas are working?
All of your goals would simply be measured by whether you "felt" like you were making progress with the company. This is obviously a horrible way to run an organization, so why do we apply that to our lives?
Why do we start an exercise program and judge ourselves merely by how we look in the mirror? Why do we eat "healthier" without knowing the difference in nutrition information between what we were eating before, and what we're eating now? Without the right information, we will never be able to make the best decisions that help us reach our goals. That is why self-awareness is the first step toward self-improvement.
Self-awareness is being able to step outside of yourself to see what's really going on. The best way to do this is to get as much data about yourself as possible. Great decisions, after all, cannot be made without accurate information. The reason why many people fail at achieving their goals is because they fail to see whether or not they're progressing. Because they don't have the right information, they see their efforts to improve as hopeless and ultimately give up. [1]
By being more aware of your decisions and their consequences, you have the ability to see the situation objectively. It has actually been proven that we give our best friends better advice than we give ourselves because we are more removed from the situation. This allows us to assess the facts with less emotional attachments, leading to better advice. By increasing your level of self-awareness, it helps you attain similar distance from a situation, thus allowing you to make the better decision for yourself.
The best example of this is the proven number one way that dieters lose weight - by keeping a food journal. By keeping a food journal, even without restricting any foods, people become more aware of what they're putting into their bodies [2]. This allows them to do things like have healthy food on hand when they have an afternoon snack craving, as well as planning healthy meals in advance. It also changes the perspective of dieting from "I can't eat these cookies because my diet won't let me" to "I don't want to eat these cookies, because I'll have to record it." This subtle change in perspective is important, because it empowers the person to make the right decision, rather than feeling imposed by their restrictions.
Self-awareness is a fundamental principle of achieving great performance. The more you can gain objective information about yourself or your progress towards your goals, the more likely you are to reach them. It's much easier to make the right decision when you know what the right decision is. So invest time in tracking information about yourself.

Weaving Lab: Plain Cloth Productions
For the three months during the summer of 2016, Marianne Fairbanks and a small team of UW Madison students converted the Image Lab into Weaving Lab: Plain Cloth Productions. This lab served as a site of textile production, exploring the creation of simple cloth on domestic floor looms. Five looms warped with cotton yarn became sites for creating experiments around labor, process, production, meditation, math-based structures and garment production
Wisconsin Institute for Discovery | 330 N Orchard St | Madison, WI 53715 | room 1160
Points of Inquiry:
- How many yards of plain weave cotton cloth can be woven on a floor loom?
- How long does it take to weave a yard of simple cloth for an amateur or expert?
- What meditational value does the act of weaving provide when not tied to production but just as an act of creation?
- How can we explore and invent weave patterns based in math structures?
- Can simple garments be woven that need little sewing and create little waste?
In the early 1883, William Goodell Frost, President of Berea College in Madison County, Kentucky created a program called "Fireside Industries." This initiative was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and sought to encourage handweaving and to create a fashionable marketplace for the crafted goods. The program provided women with a place to sell the goods woven on their looms, inspired many other craft programs, and served as a model for other weaving cooperatives in the Appalachian Mountains.
Floor looms were used for years in a cottage production of cloth but after the civil war, many families put away their looms as more industrially produced woven fabrics became commercially available. Inspired by "Fireside Industries" Weaving Lab: Plain Cloth Productions will be a site of experimental textile fabrication exploring production concerns beyond labor and value into less concrete inquiries into time, process, materiality and meditation.

Pine River Trails Grant Project
The City of Richland Center is very excited that it has been awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for the development of the "Pine River Trails". The grant award is in the amount of $94,100 under the Recreational Trails Act (RTA) Program.
The grant consists of installing all-access canoe/kayak landings as well as one all-access fishing pier along the Pine River within the City limits. Access to existing landings will be improved by adding steps and hand rails.
Primitive camping sites will be created as well as electrical service for other camping sites in three different locations.
A shelter will be constructed at the Seminary Street/old Community Center location. Fundraising is being done by the Richland Center High School Class of 1968.
A Mountain Bike/Hiking/Snow Shoeing trail is being constructed on City property overlooking the southern portion of the City.
The existing bike/hiking/walking trail will be paved from Bohmann Drive to County Hwy O.
Signage will be added along the projects for education, fitness and directions.
The Grant requires public participation and financial contributions. If you are interested and as excited as we are for these projects, please check the websites above! Also, if you would like to get involved, here is our informational packet about the project and how to do just that! PRTSWP

Prayer is the Engine of our church
Prayer Partners are praying warriors. Chronicles 7:14 If my people , who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
We believe prayer is a stabilizing force at the Family Life Center Church of God. We endeavor to saturate every facet of ministry with prayer.

It's hard for me to find a summer dress that isn't cut right behind my little booty, but I kind of dig this one. It's the Amy Dress from Spiegel's summer collection. Richard Lowe III is an amazing talent behind Spiegel's latest line. I love the color and the lightweight fabric. I'm currently packing for the Hamptons and I'm definitely going to throw this little number in my suitcase. I see it as a perfect fit for drinking nighttime wine on the patio with my hair pulled up in a messy bun and no shoes. How would you style this dress?

"Finders Keepers" Video Clip25 Mar 2008
By Priya B (Web correspondent)
A video clip from one of Jim Carrey's earlier movies "Finders Keepers" is on YouTube. The movie was released in May 1984 and was a box office dud and the only attraction is of course, our Carrey! He looks young and cute in the movie as he was only 22 years old. It was one of his first comedies. "Finders Keepers" was directed by Richard Lester who have directed Superman II & III.
Story Line:
On the run from the police and a female roller derby team, scam artist Michael Rangeloff (Michael O'Keefe) steals a coffin and boards a train, pretending to be a soldier bringing home a dead war buddy. He gets more than he bargained for from the train and the coffin.
You can read more about "Finders Keepers" in JCO's Movie Area where you can find production details, full cast, quotes, movie stills and posters.
Although Jim has a small role in the movie, he got some funny parts to perform. "Finders Keepers" isn't released on DVD yet. So, enjoy watching his scenes in the video clip on YouTube!
