Both of the stories from today's Gospel selections tell about Saint Martha's encounters with Christ. The one that really makes me stop and think is the second selection, from Luke. In that story, Martha was "burdened with much serving," so she went to Jesus and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me."
Reading that makes me smile, probably because Martha's sassy attitude reminds me of my own no-nonsense wife. (The continuation from today's selection of Gospel of John — the story of the raising of Lazarus — has another great Martha line: "Lord, by now there will be a stench; he has been dead for four days." Straight and to the point, Martha is!)
Anyway, compare Martha's plea from Luke to other exhortations to Jesus throughout the Gospels:
- "My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live." [Mark 5:23]
- . . . two blind men followed [Jesus], crying out, "Some of David, have pity on us!" [Matthew 9:27]
- "Teacher, I beg you look at my son . . . For a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams and it convulses him until he foams at the mouth . . ." [Luke 9:38-39]
- "Jesus, tell my sister to help me get snacks!"
One of these things is not like the other . . .
Of course, Jesus does teach us to go to the Lord with all our concerns, great and small, so we shouldn't think poorly of Martha for doing exactly that.
What I find interesting is Jesus' reaction to Martha. If you read other parts of the Bible, you might well expect Christ to agree with Martha and tell her sister to help out. After all, there are plenty of proclamations in Sacred Scripture against laziness (Proverbs 6:6, Colossians 3:23, and 1 Timothy 5:8 as three examples). The penumbra of the Gospels also talk about the importance of hospitality toward Jesus: "For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome . . ." (Matthew 25:42-43). Jesus says don't treat strangers inconsiderately, so how could we possibly consider treating Christ Himself inconsiderately?!
But, no, Jesus comes down firmly on the side of Martha's sister: "Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." Poor Martha!
However, it's important to look at what Christ says before telling Martha she's wrong: "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing."
That's the significant bit Jesus is trying to teach us. Jesus sensed that Martha was so worried about being a good host, she was losing sight of what was really important: Namely, that God Himself was willing to take some time to chat.
Does this sound familiar in your lives? How often do we worry about whether our outfits for church are pristine and appropriate, rather than spending time ensuring our hearts are ready? How much do we fret about the cleanliness of our home when our parents visit, rather than actually spending time with them? How many people work excessively long hours to make more money to provide material comforts for their family, at the expense of actually spending time with them?
What could Martha have done differently? I've written before about the importance of communication, and it's still vital. Before puttering around the kitchen, Martha could have asked, "Does anyone want snacks or a drink?" If the Lord had said "No, thank you; have a seat!" then the whole situation would have been short-circuited. (Of course, then we wouldn't have learned this valuable lesson, so maybe everything does happen for a reason . . .)
However, the lesson here is more basic: Relax. Only God is in charge of world. Recognize when the Lord is especially with you, and drop your worries to make the most of that moment. If you're not sure what to do, ask questions.
As one more observation: I can't help but read Christ's use of her name twice — "Martha, Martha . . ." — in any way other than a loving headshake and a smile. His entire "scolding" feels so warm and loving to me. In comparison to the firmly worded rebukes Christ issues against the hypocrites and false believers, His correction of Martha is nothing but compassionate. I sense Jesus knows Martha is trying to do the right thing, but she just hasn't thought it through. To quote the Beatles, "You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right." We've all been there, trying to do the right thing and it turns out to be a mistake. God can correct us in those situations, but it will always be with love.
God wants our hearts, and we should be ever trying to get closer to doing His will, closer to Him, closer to love, closer to perfection. We can't see the finish line on this side of life, but the journey is what's important. Like Martha, we will stumble. Like Martha, we can be true to ourselves and our personalities and try to do the Lord's will . . . and when we fail, know that the Lord corrects us with love.

RUNWAY: Dsquared2 SS15Dean and Dan Caten took us back to school for their SS15 collection; art school to be exact. The collection didn't romanticize the idea of artsy boys drawing figures on a canvas, instead the youth oriented collection ramped up the sex factor while street inspired designs felt the strongest. Take the neon colored pieces like a rubbery skirt in magenta or neon green moto-jacket. Tailoring is still the twins' forte and that shined through on cropped pants and a beige trench with blue "tape" accents. While the collection was no doubt fun and carefree, the appliquée of cats on a knit was just the right about of cheeky.

Thanks to our Internet-enabled age, many essential software packages are no longer supplied on CD or DVD by their makers, who instead offer them as downloads. That's the case with iTunes, which Apple no longer includes on a CD when you buy an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Instead, you have to download it for free from the Apple website.

Read on to learn how to download and install iTunes on Windows, and how to take the first few steps in setting it up for use with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.

Begin by downloading the correct version of iTunes for your computer. The website should automatically detect that you're using a PC and offer you a Windows version of iTunes (while this page used to require you to check a box if you were using a 64-bit version of Windows, it can now detect that automatically).

Decide if you want to receive email newsletters from Apple and enter your email address, then click the "Download Now" button.

When you do this, Windows will ask you if you want to run or save the file. Either works for installing iTunes: running will install it right away, saving will allow you to install it later. If you choose to save, the installer program will be saved to your default downloads folder (usually "Downloads" on recent versions of Windows).

Once you've downloaded iTunes, the installation process will start (if you chose "run" in the last step) or the installer program will appear on your computer (if you chose "save"). If you chose "save," double click the installer icon.

When the installer begins running, you'll have to agree to run it and then go through a few screens of agreeing to iTunes' terms and conditions. Agree where indicated and click the next/run/continue buttons (depending on what the window offers you).

After agreeing to terms and proceeding through the initial, basic steps of the installation process, iTunes will ask you to choose some installation options. They include:

Add iTunes and QuickTime shortcuts to my desktop - This will place the iTunes and QuickTime icons on your desktop for easy access. If you often launch programs by double-clicking on their icons from your desktop, choose this. ITunes will also be added to your Start menu regardless of what you choose here.

Use iTunes as the default player for audio files - Choose this if you want iTunes to handle all your audio files, including CDs, MP3s, podcasts, and downloads.

Default iTunes language - Choose the language you want iTunes to be in.

Destination Folder - This is where iTunes and its files will be installed. Unless you know what you're doing with this and have a reason to change it, use the default setting.

When you've made your choices, click the "Install" button.

Once you've done this, iTunes will go through its install process. You'll see a progress bar during the installation that tells you how close it is to being done. When the installation is complete, you'll be asked to click a "Finish" button. Do so.

You'll also be asked to restart your computer to finish the installation. You can do that now or later; either way, you'll be able to use iTunes right away.

With iTunes installed, you may now want to begin importing your CDs into your iTunes library. The process of importing them will convert the songs from the CDs into MP3 or AAC files. Learn more about this from these articles:

How to Copy CD to iPod & iTunes

AAC vs. MP3: Which to Choose for Ripping CDs

AAC vs. MP3, A Sound Quality Test

Besides importing your own CDs to your new iTunes library, another important step in the iTunes setup process is to create an iTunes account. With one of these accounts, you'll be able to buy or download free music, apps, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and audiobooks from the iTunes Store.

Setting up an iTunes account is easy and free. Learn how to do it here.

Once you've added CDs to your iTunes library and/or created an iTunes account and begun downloading from the iTunes Store, you're ready to set your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to iTunes and begin using it. For instructions on how to sync your device, read the article below:

iPad

And, with that, you've setup iTunes, set up and synced content to your device, and are ready to rock!

Why is celibacy just SO important to the modern Catholic church?(72 Posts)
Why can a worldwide institution as HUGE as the Catholic not accept that sexual activity is a fairly basic human need? And that homosexuality is part of the rich tapestry of all human life? And that most of us will be somewhere on a continuum of human sexuality??
More for some than others, admittedly, but the vast majority of people will be sexually active at some point in their live (even if only with themselves).
On the back of all the reports on seminarists using Grindr I have been pondering: gay sex aside (and I really don't want to talk about the sexual abuse of minors or dependents ) within the church), why is there this ongoing insistence of abstinence/celibacy for Catholic priests??
To me this news story reads "Adult males use publicly available dating app" - I really don't see what 'the authorities' are meant to do about it.
I get the feeling that nobody knows any more. My mum is a strict Catholic and for a while had a married priest - he's left the as he didn't like female clergy and suddenly found himself a Catholic instead. So of course he was a married vicar and they couldn't ask him to divorce so he was a married priest. And everyone loved him and loved his wife. Then the next priest came along and of course he can't be married, even though the last one was. They're tying themselves in knots, I think.
Tradition. To show your commitment to god.
It's one of the many reasons why I really don't understand religious institutions. Love thy neighbour. Just not as much as you love God.
Hm. Yes. 'Tradition' aka 'we've always done it like this'. Compelling - not.
Imperial, that situation had never occurred to me - what a mind bend!
Presumably, he was expected to remain abstinent??
I actually asked my priest this once (when I was in primary school I must add...and it was 'why can't priests get married?'
He replied that a priest must dedicate himself to God first and then his congregation to be married he would then put his wife first and that may complicate his relationship with God/his flock
I was satisfied with this at the time but now I think
I've heard some interesting stuff on radio4 about this. Basically they say a priest should put the needs of his parishioners and church (or his boss) above all else. But they feel a married man needs to put his family above all else.
So they're saying you must be totally 100% committed to your work but also your family and yet that's not possible.
In some ways I think it's good to acknowledge you can't give 100% to work and be a half decent husband or father - some other employers should acknowledge that. It's not reasonable to give yourself 100% to work.
PacificDogwod No, Anglican married vicars who convert to Catholicism do not need to be abstinent.
I think they would say you're not meant to be abstinent in a marriage. Or certainly the women are not meant to be
Yes, a lot of it is mind-bending, really.
That's what I find difficult about Catholicism pego. Well, one of the things . That God comes first. Not the person in confession. Not the people in need.
Odd life, to live without that physical side. Apart from Grindr. Obvs.
The married clergy who came over from CoE do not have to abstain from sex at all.
This is quite interesting account of celibacy & women priests. Basically, the Catholic church has been all over the place on this issue & only cracked down hard about celibacy maybe 600 yrs ago.
It's an interesting question - does having other human (including sexual) relationships make you a better or worse servant of god?
Surely it gives an added dimension to an individual?
I suppose it matters whether a priest is first and foremost serving his god or his parishioners...
I don't really give a shit about the sex lives of men who decide to be priests.
I'm more concerned about the millions of women and girls in developing countries forced into becoming baby making machines due to the Catholic Church's stance on birth control.
Yet most of the Catholics I know in this country on have 2/3 kids. Funny that.
I am a dr, and married, AND a mother, and a daughter, and a neighbour, and lots-of-other-things-to-other people, and surely all my roles add to the person that I am which in turn gives me more tools in my job?!
Well, that's how I see it anyway.
I don't understand religion and its institutions and random rules, I really don't.
Yes, I knew that celibacy was a relatively new invention.
I was always told (CofE, now aethist) that the vicar was there to help us find God. To show how to live a Christian life. To provide support for those who need it. So I guess serving both? Different to catholicism though.
I just don't believe in God <ducks lightening bolt>
Amen to that, karalime, indeed
Dh and I have catholic nuns and priests in our family. They are kind. Devout. But I really am struggling with the church at the moment. More than I ever have.
The abuses are mostly why. What they did to women and children. How they have treated friends of mine who had dc before marriage. One of my friends refuses to go back to mass. I don't blame her.
In answer to you question - an aunt of mine thinks priests shouldn't marry as then parishioners would need to pay towards to upkeep of a whole family - I don't agree but its one view.
It's financial. If sexual relationships were allowed then priests could marry. If priests could marry then wealth would pass out of the church to the wives and children of priests.
The Catholic church is a very wealthy institution.
Yep karalime I totally agree but I am willing to bet that the Catholic Church concedes on priests marrying long before it gives up controlling women's bodily autonomy.
That's the hypocrisy and double standards karalime. I don't care about their sex lives either (provided it's legal). Sex does seem to obsess the hierarchy though. Obviously need to get a bit more.
PacificDogwood the rules make no sense to me either. A lot of historic stuff that really needs updating.
wibblywobbly our family is the same a number of priests and a nun. I just could not hack story after story of abuse coming out and they still come out and they still get swept under the carpet. It killed my faith stone dead although it took 10 years of a slow drip, drip.
Steve sadly my mil (who is lovely but naive- I do think a lot of it is drilled in 'brainwashing' style) goes to a church that has been proven to hide a well known abuser. She often sends me mass cards from there. So well intentioned - she is a sweet person. But ughh. Why oh why. She gives a substantial proportion of her pension to said church.
oh yeah.. the financial thing, that was the driving reason why the celibacy rule was imposed firmly. Nowadays I think the church is a lot less greedy, ever since Pope Jean Paul they talk a lot about social justice.
an aunt of mine thinks priests shouldn't marry as then parishioners would need to pay towards to upkeep of a whole family
Do the actual parishioners pay for the upkeep of their priest even now?! I did not know that.
I am an atheist, raised non-catholic Christian in Germany (where there is only Catholic or Protestant, that's it! ) in a very 'mixed' family - lots of Catholic and Protestant marriages, I have cousins in both denominations and a great-aunt who was a nun. It's not the individuals I take issue with, it's the institution. And just how powerful it is over the lives of individuals AND society.
Clerical celibacy wasn't even a thing before the Second Lateran Council in 1139, was it? And even after that there were priests and pope marrying and having children.
Orthodox priests marry and have families...so I think it's a current situation, and with time, possibly lots and lots of time....things will change
back to how they were before
The church of England manages to be able to finance married vicars. I'm sure the Catholic church can stretch to it too...
I have heard that priests lead very busy lives, and just wouldn't have time to fit it all in if they had to spend time with their families too.
Also, I think deacons can't re-marry if their wife dies.
People in other professions lead very busy lives, yet still manage to marry/be sexually active/have kids.
It's a nonsense and now used to beat people with a stick IMO.
As somebody eminent in the catholic church (cannot remember how) said, there are other things the Catholic Church should be more worried about, like falling numbers of the faithful for instance.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
A Dallas woman whose murder was recorded on an open 911 line did not die in vain, Deanna Cook's pastor said at her funeral today.
"Because of her, many people are going to be saved," Apostle Billy Grate said. "Police are going to try to prevent something like this from happening."
Grate was one of the last people to make contact with Cook on a prayer line hours before her death one week ago today. He was referencing Dallas Police Chief David Brown's implementation earlier this week of two new 911 call classifications that put the highest level of priority on calls like the one Cook made.
"We're going to get with the Police Department and they're going to remember her name associated with this," Grate said at Laurel Land cemetery, minutes before Cook's white coffin was lowered into the ground.
The crowd at the cemetery was slightly smaller than the roughly 200 who turned out for the funeral at St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Oak Cliff. There, friends and family recalled the 32-year-old mother of two teenage girls who they said had turned a corner in her life and was devoted to God in recent years.
"I saw the transition in this woman," Grate said. "She probably didn't have a clue that her life touched so many people."
Her death should serve as a wake-up call, some said.
"If you love somebody, tell them," said Valecia Battle, one of Cook's three sisters. "My sister had a relationship with God."
Cook's mother, sisters and daughters were among family members who donned purple dresses at the closed-casket proceeding.
No one other than Grate spoke specifically about the circumstances surrounding Cook's death.
Cook's 911 call was not given the highest priority response even though she was heard choking, gurgling and pleading for her ex-husband, Delvecchio Patrick, to stop killing her, according to law enforcement officials. Two officers arrived at Cook's southeast Dallas house about 50 minutes after the 11-minute call was placed and left after no one answered the door.
Patrick, 35, is in the Dallas County Jail on a murder charge. He has a history of beating and threatening to kill Cook.

How to Be Like a Thunderclan Cat on Animal Jam
Roleplaying on Animal Jam is one of the most popular pastimes on the site. Mostly, people roleplay Warriors, a book series by Erin Hunter. The main Clan in the books is ThunderClan. On Animal Jam, acting like a ThunderClan cat can be difficult, because their personalities have so many layers. But this article will tell you how in some easy steps.
1Change your animal. If you want to be a clan kit, change into a bunny. If you want to be a grown warrior, or an apprentice, change into a wolf, tiger, arctic wolf, or fox. Try to avoid seals and penguins, since they are not really considered a part of land clans.
2Change your pelt color. Design your fur so that it's either dusty brown, dark brown, orange, white, black, blue, silver, or tortoiseshell, which is a calico. Your eyes can be any color except pink or purple. Brown, green and dark-blue eyes suit well if you are a kit. For higher ranks, black, orange and yellow is recommended since it looks scarier.
3Get a bow or swords. Clan cats may not have bows or swords, but they make you look more fierce. Many role playing Jammers wear some kind of weapon. These can be pirate swords, bows and arrows or even an elf armor if you are a member. Wear a fox hat or raccoon hat. This makes you seem cooler.
4Never leap into a fight. Thunderclan cats are normally thought as a peaceful clan that respects the other clans. However, when you have to fight, be brave and fierce, but merciful at the same time. Nevertheless, be thorough and completely bold during a clan fight. Act according to your Alpha's commands. This will naturally give other clans a feeling of respect for your clan.
5Take in rouges and loners, maybe even kittypets. ThunderClan takes in cats of all kinds, because most of the cats in the clan believes that all cats are equal. Sometimes, ThunderClan is thought of as weak because of this, but the extra cats just increases their power in battle.
6Be aware of what ThunderClan hunts. They eat mostly mice, voles, squirrels, rabbit , birds such as starlings, magpies, wood pigeons, blackbirds, and thrushes.
7Use their hunting techniques. They are the only clan to bunch their hindquarters before leaping to catch prey. They also hide in bushes, trees, and also, they blend in well with the ground. They have the sense to keep upwind of their prey. ThunderClan only eats frogs and fish when they have to, or if they are politely offered by another clan.

Apparently, someone locked him out and this obviously isn't the first time, so he's developed a strategy for getting himself let back in.
We have to commend this cat on his technique, though. The single-leg bicycle move is unique and obviously effective. He even realizes that he can get way better acoustics on the more flappy door and he moves his bicycle maneuver over to that one. Well played, cat.
We're kind of annoyed at the other cats, though. Their lazy a**es didn't help at all. They sat back and watched their buddy work his butt off and then when the door finally opened, they totally just rode his coattails. Not cool, guys. Not cool at all...

But then, a young lass caught in a raging storm awakens his deepest impulses...and darkest desires.
Cara doesn't believe the rumors about MacLeod castle - until the majestic Highland warrior appears like a fiery vision in the storm, pulling her into his powerful arms, and into his world of magic and Druids. An epic war between good and evil is brewing. And Lucan must battle his all-consuming attraction for Cara - or surrender to the flames of a reckless, impossible love that threatens to destroy them both.
This book was a decent romance, but it might go over better with someone younger than myself. For me personally, I like my heroines with a bit more life experience. Young Cara, the heroine of our tale, is a mere 18. Her hero Lucan is an immortal of some 300 plus years. Talk about an age gap!! She's innocent, of course, and essentially convent bred. But somehow, only days after becoming familiar with the brothers, their enemy and their unique situation, she's making logical rationalizations that not one, but all three, immortal brothers have failed to make in nearly 300 years. The trouble is, her conclusions are not that astounding, but rather obvious, which makes you wonder what in the world these guys have been thinking about for all this time.
I love paranormal romances. When I bought this book, I was hoping that this series would compare with Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series (read by the amazing Phil Gigante). It did not. Perhaps I had set my expectations too high. This book reminds me more of some of the racier romances from the 80's. Or perhaps it reminds me more of something someone in their early 20's would enjoy (as I was in the 80's). Whatever the case, I just didn't get the same level of passion from or for the characters that some authors and readers provide.
The sex scenes in this book are explicit, but they are not racy or daring in the style that you will get from the more erotic books popular today. The scenes themselves are shorter (which I know some people prefer) and less..ummm...well, lets just say "less adventurous".
All that aside, this is a decent book, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it if you like paranormal and highlander scenarios. It does tick all the romance boxes, and the paranormal elements are explained in a way that's understandable.
Antony Ferguson does a pretty good job with the accents and the narration in general. I subtracted one star from a perfect 5 because his female voices weren't very good, but that's really my only quibble with his work.

I recently finished Dangerous Highlander by Donna Grant, the first novel in her Dark Sword series. Cara had lived with the death of her parents and did not remember much of what had happened when they were killed. Raised by the nuns, she had just turned eighteen and was about to become a nun herself. She was not a member of the local clan and knew that love and marriage would never be an option for her. That is until Lucan MacLeod saved her. From this point on, Cara and Lucan begin to form a tentative bond. As their relationship grows, so too do they begin to divulge their deepest secrets to each other. Unfortunately, they are not able to find peace. Cara and the brothers are all being hunted, and it becomes evident that they face a dangerous war. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next stories about the three brothers. If you like your Highlanders with a bit of magic and paranormal twist, you will enjoy this series. Lots of sizzle too!

If you're like me and you like your Paranormal/Romances then you're going to love the tales of these three hunky immortal MacLeod brothers who are possessed by different beasts/Gods. As the story unfolds it tells of how, what when and why, along with that there's a great plot with various sub plots just waiting to be taken up. There's an evil Druid who's after the good Druid (Cara) but she is being protected and 'romanced' by Lucan, the middle brother, and magic and mayhem ensue.
There was an instant attraction between Lucan and Cara which was a bit sickly sweet and repetitive on how much he wants to touch her or kiss her or make love to her, but that can be overlooked by the great chemistry between the two of them coupled with the relationship the three brothers have for each other as they band together despite each of them having problems of their own.
The battle between good v evil brings out of hiding more and more of these possessed Highland Warriors so the series can go on and on and on and on...... which is music to my ears.
Worth a credit? Ticked all my boxes so that would be a YES, it was very enjoyable.

The narrator did a good job, but the story could have been more. The characters were just...flat. Too serious and earnest and did not convince me to care what happened.

What disappointed you about Dangerous Highlander?
Its an obvious vehicle for sex scenes. The author did not spend enough time on the story line development, but then again, the narrator is so choppy/robotic and ridiculous it made it difficult to get into the story and get a feel for things. I won't be reading or listening to anything from either the author or narrator after this.
Has Dangerous Highlander turned you off from other books in this genre?
No as there are better authors out there and was only looking for another author and series while I wait for my faves.
How could the performance have been better?
Completely different narrator would have been better! This narrator would speak louder and gruffer each time he used a Scottish accent which was off putting and he sounded very robotic...he made it really hard to get into this story.
You didn't love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Interesting story plot...should have been more focus on this and relationship building between all characters instead of just filler between the horrible sex scenes.

Listened for Fun (Audible)
Overall Rating: 4.25
Story Rating: 4.00
Character Rating: 4.50
Audio Rating: 3.50 (not part of the overall rating)
First Thoughts When Finished: Dangerous Highlander is a great beginning to what might end up being another in my must read "KILT" series.
Story Thoughts: Dangerous Highlander(s) indeed! In fact, I think I may go searching for castles that are rumored to have 300ish year old highlanders living in them. Especially if they are bad ass and clearly on the side of good. If they happen to have a few special powers, I won't argue. This was a really entertaining read and a great start to a series. I had read Donna Grant's druid series and had expected a lot from Dangerous Highlander. I was not disappointed.
Character Thoughts: Lucan was just exactly what I want in my kilted warriors: hot, strong, conflicted, loyal, and agile. Cara was exactly what strong kilted warriors need in their women: someone not afraid to tell them exactly what is going on. She was very much deserving of Lucan and I loved her spunk. Lucan and Cara together were hot! I also enjoyed Lucan's brothers and the other characters that came in towards the end. I do believe this is going to be a fun series to read because of the characters.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Antony Ferguson / Length: 9 hrs and 35 mins
Antony is actually a narrator that I totally enjoy and towards the end of Dangerous Highlander the narration finally clicked for me. However, in the beginning I just couldn't get my head around his voice for Cara. However, his pacing, emotions, and accents were brilliantly done! I will be continuing this series on audio though because I think the male voices were amazing. As always, please listen to a snippet before buying an audiobook as narrators appeal differently to each listener.
Final Thoughts: I have the rest of these on my Christmas list!

What did you love best about Dangerous Highlander?
it caught my attention, it had me holding my breath on what would happen next. The love story was good.
What did you like best about this story?
Unsure what I liked best. It is a good story and if you like this type of book, I would recommend getting it. The author has done a very good job with the book.
Have you listened to any of Antony Ferguson's other performances before? How does this one compare?
unsure if I have listen to Antony before or not, but this was good
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes. I found myself doing other things just so I could finish the book. I also caught myself so wrapped in the story I was doing nothing at times
Any additional comments?
cannot wait to get the next book.

Would you listen to Dangerous Highlander again? Why?
I think so, this s a very different book that left me hanging at the end I will be getting the next one.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dangerous Highlander?
I liked the characters in this first book, and the story line,

This book is way too slow for my liking. The heroin is way too wimpy for my liking. There is very little dialogue. I had to skip the last 8 chapters and skimmed the epilogue to get to the end. I don't feel I missed a thing by skipping those chapters. Glad that's over. I didnt really care for the narration in this book. I have heard Antony Ferguson to much better in other books.

I loved this book
I could close my eyes and see the characters as if watching a movie. I just love the scottish highlands books.

list should remain for announcements. Since that's mostly what happens here
now, I think that we won't see a lot of drop off in volume here. What I'm
hoping happens, is that the forum becomes a place to have more discussion
about play and such. Stuff that doesn't happen here because, I think, people
feel that they're crowding the channel if they discuss their gameplay here.
So I think it's a logical split. Using the list for announcements makes
sense, because they'll get to everyone on the list. Whereas discussions on
the forum are basically subscribed to by participating or monitoring them.
For example, people who want to see my chargen sessions could monitor them
on the forum, and those not interested wouldn't have to worry about all that

I think it's the best of both worlds.

A retaining wall is a structure used to stabilize sloping ground and hold it in place. The wall is also used to prevent movement of the ground and any associated soil erosion. A retaining wall has to be big and sturdy enough to hold back the soil and redistribute the forces caused by the sloping ground.
A retaining wall will generally have holes in it which allow ground water to escape minimizing additional pressure and helping to keep the wall stable.
Since the retaining wall will become part of the landscape, working with a Bergen County landscape design company can help it enhance the look of your home as well as stabilize the sloping ground. Adding plants and other garden features will make the retaining wall look like a natural part of the landscape. In this way the retaining wall will be able to do its job and blend into your yard design.
Building a Retaining Wall in Northern New Jersey
Retaining walls in Bergen and Passaic County can be built out of various materials including wood, stone and concrete. Each material has advantages and drawbacks in given situations, and that's why it is best to consult a landscape professional when contemplating building a retaining wall. Generally, if a wall is more than knee high or a few courses in height the best thing is to call an expert to help with the design and construction of the structure.
Benefits of Hiring a Retaining Wall Contractor in Bergen County
The typical northern New Jersey homeowner doesn't always know how to design and construct an adequate wall that will look good and stabilize the ground. Hiring an experienced professional to build a wall is worth the investment. There is story after story of landscape professionals coming to the rescue of homeowners who decided to try and build their own retaining wall and ended up making their situation worse.
A landscape contractor in Bergen County will also know the proper way to use plants, and other garden materials and structures, in the design of the wall. After all, the retaining wall needs to not only shore up a yard but it has to fit into a landscape naturally. Proper use of materials, plants and garden furniture is a job best left to professionals. The addition of a properly designed and built retaining wall will also enhance the value of a property.
When looking for a landscape company to design and build a retaining wall call Borst Landscape & Design. This nationally-recognized and award-winning company has more than 20 years of experience in Bergen County, NJ and can design and build a retaining wall that will make a yard and home safer and look great while doing so.

This is a continuation of yesterday's post reviewing the book, Compassion, Justice, and the Christian Life by Robert Lupton.
I am intrigued by Lupton's comparison between work and free programs when he writes, "There is another means [other than providing free goods and services] of assisting, of course, that hardly requires any verification. Work. If you hire a person to do legitimate work for reasonable pay, the exchange is honorable and dignifying regardless of how the person chooses to spend the money."[1]
I am not one of those people who say, "The poor must work for everything they receive." But I do believe in some type of exchange in the process of people receiving services. There will always be people who are too ill or disabled to perform meaningful "work," and I am more than glad to provide those people with free services. They need the services and I believe it is an obligation we have as social service providers to make sure those people are housed, fed, and served.
(For five years I led a program that served families in need a free Thanksgiving dinner. So I am well aware of the need to serve others for free and am glad to do so.[2])
The people who are able to perform some type of work in exchange for the services they need should be invited to participate in a system of "exchange" with the social service agency. This helps the person encounter some form of normal life where they are not totally dependent on others for their survival, and it gives them some dignity feel that they are working to earn what they receive.
Reading Lupton's description between betterment and development has been helpful when seeking to understand how to best help others and community. Lupton describes betterment and development as, "Betterment does for others; development enables to do for themselves. . . . Most of the programs we create to help people in need begin as betterment projects."[3] This shows that we as Christians have a sincere heart. We want to be "Christ-like" and provide for the least of those who live among us. Jesus emphasized serving the poor and widows living among us.[4]
However, if we truly want to create lasting changes in both the people we serve and the communities we live and work in, we need to make the shift to development programs. Development programs allow the people being served to participate in the services being provided. They work for what they receive, make decisions about how those services are done, and have a vested interest in the success of their neighborhood.
One question I have for Lupton is, how do we live out Jesus' commands to take care of the poor while also telling people in need that they must "work for" and/or "earn" what is provided to them? This question stems from Lupton's statement that "to do for others what they can do for themselves is to make recipients the objects of our pity and deprive them of human dignity."[5] But what about the compassion we are supposed to show for others by doing for them and showing them kindness that tells them they are valuable and worth our time and energy?
Another question I have for Lupton, is how do we create an environment of development programs that are conducive to success? This question stems from his statement that "people, like butterflies, cannot be empowered. They will emerge toward their uniquely created potential, given an environment conducive to success."[6] How do we know what the balance should be between services provided and the amount of work, time, or money people should provide in order to receive the services? How much should a community be invested into its own success versus how much should outsiders should be invested?

From Flavorwire: "A very clever photographer has taken still images that he snapped while flying over Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Arizona and Arches National Park in Utah and manipulated them using Photoshop CS5 and Apple Motion to create what looks like a soaring nature video.

Hi all
I plugged my S3 into the Charger before i went to sleep, when i woke up the phone was dead, called support and they got me to try pressing multiple buttons over a number of combinations (volume, home and power buttons) but that was fruitless. there's simply no response what so ever from the phone.
Only way to go is to take it to a technician, support suggested
Does anyone know a way to access my internal memory as i would like to erase it, lots of sensitive info on my cell that i wouldn't want a nosy technician getting into.
Or is it impossible for a technician to access my data considering the phone is bricked?
Any help would be great, would love to hear from technicians.

24 Season 7 Episode 2: 9:00am – 10:00am
The first and second episode of 24 Season 7 were played back to back as part of a special 2 hour premiere event. I just want to point out that episodes 3 and 4 will also premiere together Monday (tomorrow).
In 24 Season 7 Episode 2 (which takes place between 9 and 10am) we start to see the danger posed by Tony when he demonstrates exactly what the CIP device can do by using it on an air traffic control tower. The writers also start to tie this season into the prequel (24 Redemption) when President Taylor meets with Prime Minister Motombo of Sangala.
After watching both episodes back to back tonight, I'm going to be on the edge of my seat until tomorrow – I hope I can sleep tonight. I'm so glad that 24 is back, and better than ever. What are your thoughts on the first 2 episodes?

I've since written a number of travel articles on the area and I often mention eateries in the area that are known to have a good Horseshoe. When we were there last fall visiting Cindy for a mini reunion, I decided I needed to try one out at a local place. Strangely, many of the eateries are closed on Sundays, which I guess does make sense since it's a capital city that revolves around government facilities, most of which operate Monday through Friday. Anyway, it made it hard to find a place to grab a bite, but we found Dublin Pub and I was glad we did.
This time I tried a Horseshoe with chicken as my meat (you can order it with a variety of meats on the bottom) and it also came with grilled onions and peppers on top - a nice touch. I prefer regular fries to crinkle cut, but it worked out well because those ridges seem to hold in some of that sauce. If you're in that area and want to give a Horseshoe a try, Dublin Pub is a great place to try it out.

Mirinda unveils Summer Campaign for Tamil Nadu with Asin
Mirinda, the natural flavoured orange drink from PepsiCo, unveiled its marketing plans for the summer of 2009. The plans, focused on market of Tamil Nadu (TN), are being unveiled with the objective of strengthening Mirinda's dominance in the state. Mirinda, already a market leader with 60% share of the Orange CSD category, will have exclusive campaign for the Tamil audience. This is the first time that a Brand in the Beverages Category will have a campaign specific to the market of TN. Mirinda, a brand which has become synonymous with fun and craziness, will have two new television commercials (TVCs) starring reigning Superstar Asin for the summer season.
The Summer Campaign has been made keeping in mind the consumer of TN – one of the largest Orange category markets. The TVC will have a new tagline – 'Mirinda Kannu, Konjam Galatta Pannu' & the new communication will be supported by proprietary new translucent packaging, also unveiled by Asin in a grand ceremony. The new campaign explores how one can manage to extract some fun and humour from otherwise normal, boring situations in everyday life.
The new campaign of Mirinda has been brought alive in the entire look and feel of the brand in 2009 starting from the communication and extending to the packaging. Speaking about this, Ms Alpana Titus, Executive Vice-President-Marketing, PepsiCo India, said, ''with this new creative expression, Mirinda urges consumers to get more spontaneous. Life would be so much more fun if we were all more spontaneous, carefree and unrestrained. We have attempted to incorporate this theme in all aspects of the brand communication, extending it to our packaging as well.''
Asin, who is the Mirinda Brand Ambassador for three years and heart-throb of Tollywood and Bollywood, stars in both the TVCs. The two TVC's perfectly capture the theme of irreverence and spontaneity associated with brand Mirinda.
Speaking on the occasion, Asin said, ''As always, it was great fun shooting for Mirinda. The new expression "Konjam Galatta Pannu" is a great way to remind people to rediscover the element of fun in themselves, in their lives. That little bit of crazy, infectious fun is all that is needed to lift your spirits and bring a momentary release from one's stresses."
The afternoon also saw some winners of Mirinda 'Galatta Pongal' contest that was initiated in TN in January this year. The winners got a lucky chance to meet with their favourite star Asin.
The new positioning 'Mirinda Kannu, Konjam Galatta Pannu' will be backed by a comprehensive 360 degree marketing plan comprising television, print, radio, outdoors, packaging and intensive on-ground activation at major youth hang outs to connect with the youth and bring alive the brand proposition.
Mirinda has always had a great reach and connect with the consumers of TN. The objective was to connect with the consumer and empathize with him in his daily life. The concept of laughter and what tickles a person's funny bone is different for different regions. The creative team analyzed over many months about what tickles TN. The objective was to make them laugh and have that moment of madness, while trying to maintain the overall brand thought. We figured that 'galatta' is the most commonly used word which was a perfect fit to connote our thought to the consumers of TN. 'Galatta' is an important aspect of a normal consumers' life in TN. For Tamilians, having grown up watching Rajnikant, 'Galatta' comes very naturally and spontaneously. And the Tamil concept of 'Galatta' is very different from the rest of the country. The next logical step was to own Galatta and to make Mirinda more relevant than ever before by bringing it closer to the TN way of life. In the TVC we have used Asin an actress and not as a celebrity endorsing the product. We have tried to bring alive Galatta moments of TN life with her. Hence the entire concept of ''Mirinda Kannu, Konjam Galatta Pannu.,''
The television commercials are scheduled to go on air in the last week of Feb in TN and have been directed by celebrated ad film maker – Rajesh Krishnan. The talented team behind these films comprises of Shiv Parameswaran – Creative Director and Arjun Kumar – Senior Copywriter from JWT.

The former Manchester United and England international midfielder Paul Scholes has expressed his doubts over Paul Pogba's proposed move to the Red Devils this summer.
Scholes went onto say that cross-city rivals Manchester City have made the signing of the summer with Ilkay Gundogan.
"He was a very talented young player, I played with him and I knew how good he was," Scholes was quoted as saying by Sport Witness.
"I just don't think he is worth £86m. For that sort of money, you want someone who is going to score 50 goals a season like Ronaldo or Messi. Pogba is nowhere near there yet.
"I think Gundogan is a really impressive player. I've seen a lot of him at Borussia Dortmund."
According to Sky, United's initial £85 million bid was rejected but the Red Devils are set to table a £100 million offer.
Gundogan was expected to face his former boss Jurgen Klopp – who now manages Liverpool – in City's first Premier League game of the season but has been ruled out for the opening weeks of the Premier League with an injury.
The 25-year-old is now one of four players born in Germany of Turkish origin in the Premier League with the others being Liverpool star Emre Can, Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil and West Ham winger Gokhan Tore.
