Every Christmas season I pull out my favorite Christmas movie of all time. The Muppet Christmas Carol. This came out in 1992 during a stretch when the Muppets were doing films based on classic literature stories such as this and Muppet Treasure Island.
A week or so ago, I made the list of Top 10 Christmas movies and this one came in at #1.
The story follows Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine) who is an old miser who hates Christmas. Scrooge is haunted by three ghosts who show him the past, present and future in an attempt to save his soul from an eternity of lugging chains like his old business partners Jacob and Robert Marley.
Though the Muppets take certain liberties with the story, there is actually quite a few similarities between this and the Charles Dickens classic. Many of the lines are used here, just as they are in other versions. The classic Christmas Carol line "if they are going to die, then they best get on with it and decrease the surplus population" is used to great effect.
Gonzo plays Charles Dickens as the omniscient narrator that follows along and adds the comments. Rizzo the Rat tags along. These characters are consistently breaking the fourth wall and each time it is funny.
Kermit the Frog is Bob Cratchit and Miss Piggy is his wife. Robin the Frog got to be Tiny Tim. Honestly, every time Tiny Tim dies in this film, I cry. I don't know why. Maybe it is hearing Kermit and Piggy so sad. It is extremely well done.
Another thing that is well done is Michael Caine as Scrooge. I know some people think that George C. Scott is the perfect Scrooge. Others might say Alastair Sim or Jim Carrey. However, I say do not sleep on Michael Caine. Yes, he is acting with Muppets, but he carries this role beautifully. You can see how Scrooge slowly changes from the wicked old brute he was into the caring, loving man of after. Caine goes through every range of emotion possible and he so relatable.
I also love the Muppet designs of the ghosts, especially the Ghost of Christmas Present. There are great songs as well. "Wherever You Find Love, It Feels Like Christmas" is wonderful as is the "Scrooge" song at the beginning.
I think there are three Muppet movies that have to be considered the best ever made. This is one of them. I love this movie and I watch it every Christmas.

In 1991, America's so-called Operation Tin Cup got enough money from its allies to cover the costs of the first Persian Gulf war. In contrast, what could be called ''Operation Begging Bowl'' after the latest war in Iraq has come up empty, leaving us stuck with the bill for the invasion and occupation -- the full extent of which is only now becoming apparent.
The Bush administration's recent willingness to consider a greater United Nations role on the ground is the first sign that it is aware of how vastly mistaken its assertions about the occupation were. Contrary to the prewar view that Iraq's oil revenues would greatly offset American costs, we now know that Iraq -- with its shattered economy, devastated oil industry and plundered national wealth -- is incapable of making any significant reimbursement of the invasion and occupation costs. And the military expense is only a fraction of the total expense of making Iraq into a functioning country.
So, how much is this experiment in nation-building going to cost the American taxpayer? First, let's consider what has already been spent. According to the Pentagon, the cost of preparation, aid to noncombatant allies and the invasion itself amounted to $45 billion. Then there is the much-bandied ''billion dollars a week'' phrase, which seems an accurate estimate of military expenses since the end of serious fighting in May. Assuming a five-year occupation, that's some $300 billion.
But these familiar figures are only part of the story. First, as these are borrowed funds, they are already incurring interest charges. More important, according to material released by American officials, the United States must meet an estimated $5 billion in initial humanitarian aid and $8 billion in Iraqi government salaries, as well as about $7 billion for repairs to public utilities and to restore vital services over the next two years.
In addition, Iraq is buried under a mountain of foreign debt -- roughly $350 billion. This consists of $90 billion in conventional foreign debt (mostly for arms purchases from Russia, China, France and Germany), $60 billion in pending contracts, and war reparations of $200 billion for Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. It is anticipated that, through the Paris Club system, the commercial debt may be reduced and repayment will be deferred until Iraq's economy can get back on its feet. It is also possible that the United Nations' Kuwait claims commission will find a way to reduce the war reparations burden. But even so, these debts will have to be paid off eventually.Continue reading the main story
It will also most likely cost $3 billion to re-settle nearly one million Iraqi refugees who are returning from exile (there are also an estimated 1.5 million Iraqis who were displaced within the country and will need aid to rebuild their communities). Ordinarily, assistance could be expected to come through United Nations and nongovernmental groups, but in this case the diplomatic difficulties surrounding the invasion leave the situation unsettled.
Still, the biggest problem facing Iraq is that after decades of corruption, economic stagnation and declining productivity, it faces at least a decade's worth of reconstruction and improvements. This will include rebuilding ports, farms, roads, telecommunications systems, power plants, hospitals and water systems, as well as introducing a medical benefit plan, a national pension scheme, and new laws for foreign investment and intellectual property rights. The country needs a revised criminal code and judiciary system, a new tax code and collection system, and an electoral voting system with appropriate technology. Using postwar American and United Nations estimates for these and many other tasks, the total bill is likely to be at least $200 billion over a decade.
Clearly, such a program cannot be financed entirely by Iraq's oil reserves. Those who accused the Bush administration of instigating a ''war for oil'' certainly hadn't done the math. Before the war the hope was that Iraq's annual production could relatively quickly rise to $15 billion to $20 billion per year. However, the system is far more decrepit than such estimates assumed, and combined with the near-daily sabotage of facilities and pipelines, it appears that oil revenues will rise only slowly over the next three years, from approximately $10 billion in 2004 to $20 billion in 2006.
Major international oil companies are expected to invest $40 billion in joint ventures with Iraq's state oil company, but this will be for exploration and new development, not to rehabilitate the existing facilities. By 2010, even in the best case, production would increase at most to six million barrels a day, bringing total revenues to about $40 billion a year.
Obviously, America cannot make up the difference on its own. Iraq will need long-term loans from the World Bank, the United Nations Iraq Development Fund, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Arab Development Fund, the European Union Aid Program and others. Yet few of these organizations will be keen to make loans until Iraq has a new constitution and an elected government that has put in place effective legal, arbitration, banking and fiscal systems.
Let's face it, rebuilding Iraq is going to be far more expensive than Americans have been led to believe. Just as it seems inevitable that concessions must be made to get other countries to relieve the burden on American troops, now is the time to mend fences with the United Nations and our allies to relieve the burden on American taxpayers as well.Continue reading the main story

There is a lot of talk right now regarding OAS after Prime Minister Harper spoke about potential changes on the horizon.
First of all, there are no changes announced yet and no OAS benefit changes will occur before 2020 or even 2025 finance minister Flaherty said last week. We know that it is somewhat inevitable. My thoughts are that it won't impact current retirees or those close to retirement. Here are a few points discussed on the CBC News The National on February 7 2012:
•Economists are split on their opinion as to whether the existing OAS is sustainable the way it is right now.
•Life expectancy in the past 50 years has gone from 71 to 81.
•As 2030 approaches the baby boomers will start dying out.
•We have known about this demographic bulge for a long time.
•OAS as a percentage of GDP is about 3%.
•Now we have 4 workers for every retiree; in 20 years we will have just 2 workers for every retiree.
•The consensus of the panel is that it is better to look at the clawback threshholds rather than adjusting the OAS age from 65 to 67.
•OAS clawback begins at $67,668 and is fully clawd back at $110,123
The CBC panel also discussed RRSPs and TFSAs and the new PRPPs (Pooled Retirement Pension Plan) . They said it gets confusing for people with all the programs and they questioned whether the PRPP is useful at all. We already have enough programs if we want to save money.
Here is an article on the subject
and a video of the Feb 7 CBC National News debate on the subject
Here's the latest. The budget watchdog says the current OAS is sustainable as it is.

Make Your Loan Go Further With These Eco-friendly Power Tips
Electricity makes the world go 'round, but have you ever considered the sources it comes from? Green energy is found in many environmentally-friendly sources, and you can use it within your own home to ensure that your appliances are powered without damaging the Earth. Read on for some simple strategies to get you started.
Turn off the kitchen, bathroom, and any other exhaust fans as soon as you no longer need them. Some people leave the fans on for 20 minutes or so, but it is better to leave them on for no longer than five minutes after showering, bathing, or cooking is finished.
Contact your current energy provider and see if they offer an option for you to use renewable-energy sources. Many providers harness renewable energy through solar or wind power and therefore, have this option available for their clients. However, you should keep in mind that this may cost a little bit extra.
Take the time to dry your clothes naturally. The dryer in your home takes up a lot of energy and it is quite simple to just hang your clothes and allow them to air dry. If you do need to use the dryer, then be sure to clean out the lint to help it work more efficiently.
If you are thinking about switching to solar power, do your research first. Some towns have restrictions regarding the number of collectors they allow. To bypass these limitations, think about getting your neighbors to join you and get a solar power unit that would provide power for a small group of homes.
If there is running water on your property, you should consider investing in a good hydro-power solution. A simple mill can turn into an energy generator. Get in touch with Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to find out if your stream is strong enough to produce a significant amount of power.
If you are seeking to save energy, try not to drive too fast. When a person drives fast, they use too much gasoline, which in turn, wastes energy. Furthermore, when you drive fast and waste too much gasoline, you are going to end up spending way too much money on gas.
In winter, save energy and money by turning down the heat and adding a layer of clothes. Wearing a sweater can make you feel two to four degrees warmer, depending on the thickness of the sweater. You don't have to wear a t-shirt and shorts in your home, so dress warmly and save money!
If you do not need to use the lights in your home, turn them off. This includes when you are not even at home. When the lights are left on, they use a lot of energy, which is not only negative for the environment, but it is also negative on your wallet.
Consider opting for a solar hot water heating system. If you must use hot water to run your dishwasher or do your laundry, a solar hot water system can benefit you. If you live in an area where freezing is not a concern, a direct circulation system will be perfect for you.
Using green energies is not an excuse to use more energy than you really need. Do not forget to turn the lights off when you leave a room and putting on a sweater instead of turning the heat up. Even if green energies are cheaper, you should still do your best to save as much energy as you can.
Replace your furnace with one that has the Energy Star seal on it. You can save 15 to 20 percent on your month energy costs if you purchase a highly efficient furnace. You can even get a federal tax credit that will help cover the cost of your new furnace!
When traveling short distances, try not to use your car. Instead, walk, run, or use a bicycle. Automobiles are not only expensive to keep up with, but they have many negative effects on the environment. If you must use your car, be sure that it is tuned up when necessary.
Stay in control of your energy consumption by getting a Bye Bye Standby device. This device is basically a motherboard into which you can plug in all your devices. You will be able to completely turn on and off any device that you are not using through this panel. It also gives you access to https://www.greenmountainenergy.com/ information about your power consumption.
Green energy might be available to you right now, so make a phone call and see if you can find it. Most electric companies are now offering green energy sources that can http://linematerial.biz/content/public/en/bussmann/wireless/resources/distributor_locatornew.html meet consumer's needs. You will likely have the option of switching partially to green energy, or entirely to green energy. You might pay a little more for these options, but you will be doing something great for the environment.
If you are building a home, consider the placement of your windows carefully. If you place windows in the right areas of a home, they can act as a passive solar energy collector. This means that your windows can help you keep your home cooler in the summer, and warmer in the window. You will reduce your electric bill and your dependence on traditional energy sources.
If it is holiday time, you might want to consider throwing out your old bulbs and replacing them with new energy efficient LED lights for your tree and your home. These lights use 90 percent less energy than the old style lights and will save you money during the holiday season.
A great way to help save energy is to thaw your frozen foods in the fridge. This is a safe way for thawing food that reduces energy consumption of the refrigerator.
You have likely read a lot of different articles that espouse a more green lifestyle. As energy costs have skyrocketed, you may want to learn how to save on your energy bills. With the proper information, you will find it much easier to implement green energy properly into your home. Use what you've learned in this article to join the green revolution today!

|Unknown for no good reason: the music of Bernard Bartelink
Het ORGEL 100 (2004), nr. 6, 25-31 [summary]
Bernard Bartelink (1929) was not only the organist of the Cathedral Basilica St.
Bavo at Haarlem: he is composer as well. The organist Bartelink studied with
great musicians like Anthon van der Horst and Cor Kee; the composer Bartelink
was a pupil of Léon Orthel, whom he describes as a 'philosophical-sober and
cautious-distant man'.
Bartelink's music is not 'avantgardistic'; it is meant to be useful. In his early years, Bartelink was musically oriented toward France, but later on he preferred a more polyphonic style. One of his most important organ works is the energetic Toccata (1954). Important as well are Sonatina (1957), Praeludium, trio en fuga (1960), Prelude, fugue et hymne sur 'Honneur ŕ toi, glorieux de la Salle' (1995).
Bartelink composed relatively few organ pieces; his śuvre includes considerably more vocal works. Many of his compositions are published, by companies such as Donemus (Amsterdam).

CMBS Delinquencies Reach Post-Crisis Low
As distressed pre-crisis loans continue to be resolved and new loans are briskly securitized and priced, the Trepp CMBS Delinquency Rate fell to 4.12 percent in May, representing a 24 basis point (BPS) drop month-over-month, and the lowest level in eight years. This, according to an article in Asset Securitization Report, was ahead of projections and represents a 135 BPS drop year-over-year, and 77 BPS year-to-date. The delinquency rate is down from a post-crisis high of 10.34 percent, a high-water mark reached in July 2012.

Schalke's Klaas Act ready for the Hunt
Gelsenkirchen - Suitably rested FC Schalke 04 striker says he cannot wait for the competitive action to get under way in the week ahead.
'My big moment'
The Dutchman has yet to feature for the Royal Blues during pre-season following an extended break on the back of the Netherlands' third-place finish at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but he doesn't expect his goal-scoring form to suffer as a result.
"I'm fit," he told www.fcschalke04.de. "I kept myself in shape on holiday. I'm ready but I can obviously still go up a gear. It's up to the coach whether or not I play [against Dynamo Dresden in the DFB Cup first round on Monday]. We've already spoken about my fitness and the game. I can play if I'm needed. I'd rather go without the friendlies anyway (laughs)."
Huntelaar missed almost the entire Hinrunde through injury last season, before returning post-winter to net ten league goals and help Schalke secure automatic qualification for the UEFA Champions League. The 31-year-old scored once in just three substitute appearances at the World Cup, but returned home with a bronze medal around his neck all the same.
"Third place was more than anyone expected from us before the tournament, especially after being drawn in such a strong group," Huntelaar explained. "My big moment came in a cracking game [in the last-16]. Of course you always want more, but at the end of the day it's important that we achieved something."
'Lots of good teams in Germany'
Fully fit and back to something resembling the peak of his powers, the Dutchman now has his eyes trained on another strong season in Gelsenkirchen. Die Knappen edged a keenly-fought battle for third place in 2013/14 and Huntelaar for one expects a similarly close-run affair in the season ahead.
"There are plenty of clubs who have strengthened their squads and lots of good teams in Germany, so it's hard to say who'll be up there come the end of the season," he admitted. "We always need to perform well to finish amongst the top sides, which is why there's not much point in looking at the other teams. We want to finish in a Champions League spot at least. That's crucial for the fans, the players and the club."
First up, though, is that little matter of negotiating a first-round tie with third division club Dresden in the Cup. Schalke won the competition in 2011, but haven't advanced beyond the third round since. "League and Cup games are the best - there's nothing better," Huntelaar enthused. "It's a very important game for us. We should have more than enough quality to get the job done."

Our prediction for this World Cup 2018 match:
There will be fireworks when Wales and Republic of Ireland square off against each other at Cardiff City Stadium in the decider. Wales are one point away from booking their place in the play-offs, but a win over the Boys in Green could see them secure automatic qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals. The Dragons head into the match following three consecutive wins over the likes of Austria, Moldova and Georgia and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason for celebration on Monday evening. Ireland desperately needed a win against Moldova and they managed to get one (2-0), but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the football match against Wales. The hosts will be without star player Gareth Bale against Ireland, but they have been in a fine form of late and home win should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Joe Allen):
Joe Allen is another high-quality footballer from the new generation of Wales internationals, who was part of the team that took Swansea from League One to the Premier League, and he had no problems adapting to arguably the strongest league championship in Europe. Allen operated as a deep-lying playmaker as the Swans impressed upon reaching the elite division, with his excellent passing skills persuading Liverpool to splash £15 million on his services. The central midfielder didn't exactly manage to develop into an indispensable member of the side at Anfield, but he is considered an important squad player and has always performed well when called upon. Meanwhile, he has been one of the pillars of the most successful team in the Wales history together with Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams and Aaron Ramsey, while even representing Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Allen started five games for the Dragons as they secured the first ever appearance at the European Championship finals.
Highlighted Team (Ireland):
Competing as an independent entity since 1953, Republic of Ireland have struggled to match the world's best national teams ever since, although they did achieve several respectable results on the road. Their best ever result, the 1990 World Cup quarter-final, was achieved with a big smile from Lady Luck seeing that the Irish reached the last eight without winning a single match. They have since reached the last 16 stage at the 1994 and 2002 tournaments, while only qualifying for three European Championship finals (1988, 2012, 2016). The Irish were in the top 10 of the FIFA Rankings in 1993 and 1994, but have failed to repeat the success in the next twenty odd years, and it appears they are no closer to bridging the gap behind European powerhouses. Robbie Keane holds the record for most national team caps and goals at the same time, having bagged 67 in 143 appearances, whereas Niall Quinn, Steve Staunton, Damien Duff, Tony Cascarino and Don Givens are some of the other star players.

New Materialisms, Barcelona, September 25-2616. October 2014
The theory of new materialism is traversing many disciplines of knowledge: from quantum physics to art theory. This allows a search for a common ground for interdisciplinary studies. In addition, these theoretical approaches are proving themselves as a suitable "ethic-onto-epistemological" framework (Barad, 2007) that permits the examination of social phenomena from multidimensional perspectives, alongside offering new ways to theorize and challenge the divisions between matter and discourse, nature and culture, etc. However, the methodological parameters of these approaches remain underdeveloped and somewhat unclear especially when related to feminist theories and politics. New materialism has been coined as a "third wave feminist epistemology" (van der Tuin, 2009) in the present globalized information society, and it is because of this that a profound reassessment of some of the core research concepts is needed if these ways of theorizing want to configure themselves as an alternative to social constructivist approaches specifically in the context of digital cultures and political engagement. To these methodological concerns, we have included 'gender', 'politics' and 'the digital' because of their centrality in scholarly debates produced in feminist journals and scholarship. The terms also remain key for contemporary feminist practice. Can we still consider gender as a key concept for feminist politics? How is social change conceived of and produced within a new materialist framework? How is digital inter-connectedness affecting/affected by new materialisms, and most importantly different forms of life?

The Bravest of the Brave – Scott of the Antarctic13th December 2017
Gary Lewis, founder of A1 Pharmaceuticals said to be mentioned in dispatches by Lt. Scott Sears of the Royal Gurkha rifles is heart-warming and an huge inspiration on my personal road to recovery after a serious illness.
I am sure Uncle Harry Lewis would have been very proud of the modern day Scott of the Antarctic
It's reassuring to know that England is still producing brave young men and women with a great fighting spirit, courage, determination and fortitude whilst also raising money for a worthwhile cause; the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

|Salerno E., Bedini L., Planck Collaboration .. Planck intermediate results. XII: Diffuse Galactic components in the Gould Belt system. In: Astronomy & Astrophysics, vol. 557 article n. A53. ESO, 2013.
|We perform an analysis of the diffuse low-frequency Galactic components in the southern part of the Gould Belt system (130Ôùª Ôëñ l Ôëñ 230Ôùª and ÔêÆ50Ôùª Ôëñ b Ôëñ ÔêÆ10Ôùª). Strong ultra-violet flux coming from the Gould Belt super-association is responsible for bright diffuse foregrounds that we observe from our position inside the system and that can help us improve our knowledge of the Galactic emission. Free-free emission and anomalous microwave emission (AME) are the dominant components at low frequencies (╬¢ < 40 GHz), while synchrotron emission is very smooth and faint. We separated diffuse free-free emission and AME from synchrotron emission and thermal dust emission by using Planck data, complemented by ancillary data, using the correlated component analysis (CCA) component-separation method and we compared our results with the results of cross-correlation of foreground templates with the frequency maps. We estimated the electron temperature Te from H╬▒ and free-free emission using two methods (temperature-temperature plot and cross-correlation) and obtained Te ranging from 3100 to 5200 K for an effective fraction of absorbing dust along the line of sight of 30% ( fd = 0.3). We estimated the frequency spectrum of the diffuse AME and recovered a peak frequency (in flux density units) of 25.5▒1.5 GHz. We verified the reliability of this result with realistic simulations that include biases in the spectral model for the AME and in the free-free template. By combining physical models for vibrational and rotational dust emission and adding the constraints from the thermal dust spectrum from Planck and IRAS, we are able to present a good description of the AME frequency spectrum for plausible values of the local density and radiation field.

SUZHOU, CHINA—Canada is off to a perfect start at the inaugural World Cup of Curling.
Rachel Homan's Ottawa rink, Kevin Koe's Calgary foursome and the mixed doubles team of Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres all recorded wins on the opening day of the event.
Homan beat Russia's Anna Sidorova 6-5 as the Canadians scored a pair in the final end.
Koe beat Peter De Cruz of Switzerland 6-4 and Walker and Muyres downed Kristin Moen Skaslien and Sander Rolvag of Norway 9-5.
The World Cup features four tournaments of team and mixed doubles competition involving the top curling countries in the world. Each country determines its representatives for each leg.
The second stop is Dec. 5-9 in Omaha, Neb., followed by the third in Jonkoping, Sweden, from Jan. 30 to Feb. 3.
The grand final May 8-12 in Beijing will include winning teams from the previous three stops.
The World Cup offers a total of $775,000 (U.S.), or just over $1 million, for a prize pot. Winning one event is worth up to $33,000 (U.S.) to a team and that number doubles in Beijing.

James, Mercy Triumphs, Beth Moore
this is the study we are doing at church right now. ive always been fond of james blunt writings. i know its early church context, but it feels easily applicable now. that appeals to me. beth digs when she teaches bible study, and gives home work. one of the questions asked last week was in the context of paul and james. they were called to bring the gospel to what seemed to be opposite ends of the world, james to the jews and paul to the gentiles. they had different views about the jewish law and how it ought to be kept (see acts 15) and the teachings focused in different areas. with that in mind, how do you think they got along? how do we get along with believers that dont share our every opinion? do we think the work of God is only accomplished when we are working with people who see it our way? we have all fallen and failed, we are all graced and forgiven.
i can think of several friends who belong to different denominations than i do, and who believe different details. it came up the night before i did this homework assignment in conversation with jason even. he and a coworker who is also a good friend were out on a run and talking about revelation and the rapture. his friend believes strongly that a pre-tribulation rapture ought to be taught even though we dont have scripture that tells us any detail about the rapture. his reasons are good too- no excuses from people who want to wait to change their hearts and lives until they "see it coming" from all the end times signs. its a good point, but i disagree. i think we ought to teach what the bible tells us and leave it at that. i think there is evidence that we may be called up before things get really rough here on earth, but im also not sure that we would really be aware that end times events were happening. our human nature is weak. we are so caught up in our own lives, even when those lives are serving God, that i think its possible we may overlook the larger significance of the destruction and plauges and distress that is prophesied. we give little thought to these things now, so i wouldnt be surprised if we miss the big ones later.
but thats not my point. my point is, jasons coworker and i dont see eye to eye. but i am SO thankful for him as a man of God to come alongside my husband in his day to day life and offer fellowship, accountability, and support through prayer. he is a precious jewel to me because of his heart for God. we do not have to agree on every point in our theology in order to function as a larger body of Christ. we do to need agree that our salvation comes from Him and not of our own doing, and have a yearning for the truth of the scripture and God will provide the rest. (matthew 7:7-8, james 1:5)
my insecurities wants to clarify all the above saying i hope its clear enough, or makes sense, or im sure many others could have said it better, but my homework from last week taught me comparisons like that are not a good use of my time and instead i ought to simply live my life in the spirit and do my part "in love and humility, variety and diversity." (mercy triumphs pg30)

Do you believe it's easy to take good photographs for your business? Well so does Quicklearn director and photographer Matt Miller.
Matt is an award winning, published, creative photographer with ten years experience in often controversial and always unconventional commercial and editorial photography. Here he shares his thoughts on ' do it yourself" pictures.
If you think you can take your own business photographs then you probably can. Photography is not 'rocket science'. Indeed the most important part of discovering how to do it yourself is to get rid of this thought.
Obtaining pictures for your business for websites, brochures, catalogues, proposals, social media and even advertising can be an expensive process. Photographers are not cheap and micro stock, while affordable, is often generic or comes with licensing caveats that can prove to be a headache when you are growing your business or your customers need more brochures.
With this in mind you can be forgiven for thinking you can do it yourself and you are absolutely right.
Digital cameras are cheap and produce great pictures. Everyone has access to one. The trouble is when you try to take pictures for your business they often don't really come out the way you wanted them to. Unless you already have some background in photography of the arts the results are often unsatisfying. A friend once told me that he takes great pictures when on holiday but when he tried to photograph some staff at work they all looked like police mug-shots.
Professional photographers are banking on this, of course, because they are, justifiably, worried about the digital revolution. They sit huddled in their darkrooms, smelling of fixer, complaining how the business has been killed by the punters doing it for themselves and how the days of charging what they want for some mediocre images has long gone. The only shred of hope they hang on to is that the punters don't know the photographers' "forbidden" secrets.
Photography is a little like parlour tricks. To the layman it appears to be wondrous and magical. However as with magic tricks all you need to know is how the trick was done. Once you do it becomes simple, obvious and you can repeat the trick to your astonished friends until they themselves learn to repeat it. Exactly the same applies to photography. Learn the tricks and it becomes simple and repeatable.
You don't need to train for years to become a photographer, you just need to know the tricks. And that is exactly where I come in. I'm a rogue photographer, I have been into the inner sanctum and learned the professionals' eldritch and arcane secrets, and for consideration I'm quite happy to pass those secrets on to you as long as you don't tell them where I live!
The tips and tricks are presented to you in a 'one to one' coaching format in the context of the kinds of images your business actually needs. No time is wasted; you won't be taking time out to learn, you will be learning while you work. I will take into account any knowledge and experience you may already have, giving you advanced or basic techniques as needed.
Topic areas include but are not limited to:
- Your camera settings
- Composing, lighting and exposing images,
- Depth of field and creating narrative
- Working with people to get the best from them, from directing them to putting them at ease
- Composing and lighting objects
- Cheating and using household items to create professional effects
- Editing, image manipulation and post production
- Copyright, your rights and how to licence your images in a business environment.
No question is taboo. I can help you as much or as little as you need. Sometimes it may be just reassurance and a few "Oh!" "That's how you do it" moments.
If you would like to learn more about doing it yourself or some help in creating your own stock pictures starring you please feel free in the first instance to contact me at email@example.com
Matt builds websites on the wordpress platform, takes business images for businesses and shares images through MiStock. He is mine of information and loves talking.

Goodwill Industries of Arkansas is a state leader in collection and sustainability efforts, including the recycling of e-waste.
More than 1,800 tons of e-waste have been collected from Goodwill's 43 locations across the state since the program began in 2008. Goodwill is celebrating its 90th anniversary in Arkansas during 2017.
"People from all over the state donate their e-waste to us through a variety of methods, whether it is through our donation centers or stores," said Leisa D. Wamsley, vice president of donated goods. "We have even gone into small communities in the northeast where there is not a store and we have done e-waste drives with those communities. That stuff comes into our facility on Scott Hamilton in Little Rock and we demanufacture all of that. When it comes in, we are recycling it responsibly."
E-waste includes used electrical or electronic devices. Arkansans can donate their e-waste to Goodwill for disposal, recycling, resale, reuse and salvage. E-waste donations made up a portion of the 950,000 pounds of donations collected at two Goodwill locations in Arkansas during 2016. About 96 percent
of Goodwill's funding is generated by the sale of donated goods.
A new store and career services center opened at 205 Garrison St. in 2015. The store is managed by Rhonda Richey. The retail store at 631 E. Grand Ave. is now managed by Rori Myers. Wamsley said Goodwill is dedicated to working with citizens to benefit their communities.
"Our motto is 'donate, shop, change a life,'" Wamsley said. "You take in the donations, shop at our store and we change lives. We do it one person at a time."
Goodwill locations offer a conve- nient option to dispose of e-waste and other goods.
"We have a sign out there that says, 'Pop a trunk, we'll do the rest,'" Wamsley said. "Pull in, we'll walk out, collect your donation, ask if you want a receipt and then send you on your way. It is pretty simple."
All e-waste donations are shipped to the 76,000-square feet Goodwill Resource Center at 7400 Scott Hamilton Drive in Little Rock. Donations are stored, demanufactured, recycled and repurposed on site. The center includes a store where customers can purchase computer equipment repurposed from donations.
The process is undertaken, in part, by workers hired through the Transitional Employment Opportunity program, which supports individuals who are at least 18 years of age or older with nonviolent and nonsexual criminal offenses. TEO participants can be employed by Goodwill to process donations for as long
as 16 weeks while they receive job training. The recidivism rate is only 8 percent for workers in the program.
"Those who are reoffending are technicalities because they missed a court date or something like that," Wamsley said.
Goodwill's sustainability efforts have been recognized in recent years. The agency received the Arkansas Recycling Coalition Community Involvement Award in 2015 for its contribution to the advancement of waste reduction, recycling and sustainability.
The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality awarded Goodwill in 2016 with the first Arkansas Environmental Technology Award, known as the "TECHe Award." It is offered to agencies for the use of new developments in technology or the innovative use of technology to protect our resources and improve the environment. Goodwill Industries has also been a finalist for the ADEQ's Arkansas Environmental Stewardship Award, known as the "ENVY," for the past three years. The annual award will be presented for the 13th time this year.
Goodwill regularly works with businesses and schools to collect donations in local drives. Those interested can apply through the Goodwill Industries of Arkansas website to coordinate with Leslie Heizman, vice president of mission and community engagement, to host local events.
"We are glad to come down there, set up all of the logistics and handle all of that," Wamsley said. "It particularly works very well with elementary schools if they have a 'green team' or something like that. We can work with them and we can host a drive."

This is a perfect example of the way in which recipes originally cooked on an open fire can be adapted to produce the most delicious results today. Anna Dodd of Castlebaldwin in Co. Sligo, who gave it to me, remembers how her grandmother would strew the bastible with chopped rhubarb, sweeten it with a sprinkling of sugar and cover it with an enriched bread dough. When the cake was baked, it was turned out so that it landed upside down, with the sweet juice soaking into the soft, golden crust. It was served warm, with soft brown sugar and lots of softly whipped cream.
Serves 8–10
- 900g (2lbs) red rhubarb
- 255–285g (9–10oz/1 1/8 – 1/1/4 cups) granulated sugar
- 310g (11oz/scant 3 cups) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 20g (3/4oz) caster sugar
- 1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 55g (2oz/1/2 stick) butter
- 1 egg
- about 175ml (6fl oz/3/4 cup) whole milk
- soft brown sugar
- softly whipped cream
- 23 × 5cm (9 × 2 inch) round tin – we use a heavy stainless-steel sauté pan which
- works very well.
Preheat the oven to 230ºC/450º/Gas Mark 8.
Trim the rhubarb, wipe with a damp cloth and cut into pieces about 2.5cm (1 inch) in length. Put into the base of your tin or sauté pan and sprinkle with the granulated sugar.
Sift all the dry ingredients for the scone dough into a bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Whisk the egg with the milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, pour in the liquid all at once and mix to a soft dough. Turn out on to a floured board and roll into a 23cm (9 inch) round, about 2.5cm (1 inch) thick. Place this round on top of the rhubarb and tuck in the edges neatly.
Bake in the fully preheated oven for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4 for about a further 30 minutes, or until the top is crusty and golden and the rhubarb soft and juicy.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Put a warm platenover the top of the sauté pan and turn it upside down so that the pie comes out on to the plate. Be careful of the hot juices, they will be absorbed by the pie.
Serve warm with soft brown sugar and cream.
Note: this recipe may also be made with cooking apples, in which case Anna Dodd suggests adding a little cinnamon or mixed spice to the sugar.

Are we Under the 10 Commandments Today? #1
By: Garland M. Robinson
Most people believe we should keep the ten commandments today. But what does the Bible say? Let it answer!
The ten commandments were given to the children of Israel after they left Egypt (Deuteronomy 4:13; 9:9-10). Deuteronomy 5:2-3 says, "The Lord our God made a covenant with US in Horeb. The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day." This was a new law God had given. This law had not been given to their fathers (ancestors). It was only given to the children of Israel!
The command to observe the sabbath (the 4th commandment) had never been given before Mt. Sinai (Nehemiah 9:13-14) and consequently, was not to be observed by any people except Israel for it had not been given to them. Though this is contrary to the belief of those who say "sabbath keeping" was given earlier, the Bible says otherwise. The ten commandment law was made only with the house of Israel and no one else. It did not include Gentiles unless they became converts to the Jewish faith. Therefore, even if the Old Testament had not been done away in Christ (Hebrews 10:9), it would not be binding on Gentiles today (including "sabbath keeping"). It never has been!
Jeremiah 31:31-34 reveals the Old Law was only temporary in that God would one day give a New Law: "I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel...not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt." The new law would be different than the old law. Jeremiah's statement was made 900 years after the Law was given and 600 years before Christ. The Hebrew writer quotes this passage from Jeremiah and applies it to Christ being "the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second" (Hebrews 8:6-13).
Jeremiah gives some differences between the Old and the New. The old law was written on stone, the new law would be written on a person's heart --- the old did not provide forgiveness of sins, whereas the new would.

Kolkata: Police have arrested a mechanical engineer youth for alleged sexual exploitation and torture of his girlfriend who is a software engineer at a private firm at Salt Lake Sector-V in Kolkata.
Both the accused youth and the girl are natives of Bokaro in Jharkhand and had studied at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee in Uttarakhand. They, however, got introduced to each other about three years ago over a social networking site.
Going by a complaint lodged by the girl at Bidhannagar Cyber Crime police station at Salt Lake, her boyfriend Rahul Tripathi sexually exploited her for the past three years.
But as their relationship turned sour recently, he began to blackmail her using photographs of their intimate moments that he had shot on his mobile phone. Tripathi also allegedly took away all her educational certificates through emotional manipulation and is refusing to return those.
Acting on the complaint, a team from Bidhannagar Cyber Crime police station arrested Tripathi last night. He was produced at Bidhannagar Sub-divisional Court today and the court has sent him to police custody.

Today's card project uses the illusion of quilting blocks to create a background for stamped images. You can really use your eye for color and pattern to create some mesmerizing tableaux. You can go bold or subtle. You can go for harmonious or contrasting designs. You'll find yourself playing with your paper blocks--rearranging, rotating, and replacing them over and over.
I chose the following papers to work on this card: the card base is Stardream Fuse Mica Paper in Copper cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"; the decorative papers are Basic Grey 6" x 6" from the Marrakech collection; and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select white cardstock.
To begin creating the quilting pattern for my card, I used an EK Success 1" square paper punch. The 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock will be the base upon which I'll layer my quilting blocks. Using the punch, you'll need to cut out ten (10) 1" x 1" squares of each piece of your patterned paper selections.
Now is when your creative juices really need to kick in. Play with your blocks and look at colors and patterns. Lay them out like a puzzle and try to find the best patchwork design for your project. Once you've settled on a pattern, you can begin adhering your blocks on the cardstock base. I used Stampin' Up! SNAIL adhesive to begin attaching my quilt blocks.
Next, I chose to use my Cuttlebug and the Sizzix Bigz Top Note Die (a Stampin' Up! Exclusive) to add another element of visual interest to my quilted background. Sandwiching the die and quilted cardstock between the two "B" plates, quickly and easily runs through the Cuttlebug.
For the stamped image to complete the look of my card, I chose to use the Stampin' Up! Greenhouse Garden stamp set (I LOVE this set!). I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to create a two-step floral image and stem. The inks I chose to use are Tsukineko Memento in Pear Tart and Cottage Ivy. I stamped my image on Stampin' Up! Whisper White cardstock and trimmed around the the images. I also chose to add a piece of Stampin' Up! Always Artichoke grosgrain ribbon to the quilted background.
I attached the stem using a Zig 2-way Glue Pen and tucked the end behind the ribbon. The flower is attached using Stampin' Up! Stampin' Dimensionals. I also chose to adhere the entire quilted block with Stampin' Dimensionals to give my card the layered visual interest that allows the images to pop from the very deep and glittery cardstock base.
Until next time, keep crafting!

Twelve hours after our carbon monoxide incident…I can't say I slept better. I can't say I feel better this morning than other recent mornings.
I wish I could.
I wish I could blame being tired and achy and waking up with so few spoons on the faulty stove.
I can't. I'm almost fifty. I've struggled with exhaustion for 25 years at least. Psoriatic arthritis means I ache in weird places from day to day.
I can take a vitamin D pill every morning and night. I can drink all the coffee my little drip maker can piss out.
I'm still going to be tired and achy because there are no cures for Psoriatic arthritis. Only treatments with fancy names and a laundry list of side effects that themselves cause me trepidation.
But I still go out and do things. I'm expecting to go out tonight for a few hours. Meet people, have fun. I'll pay for it tomorrow but that's okay. I'm going out again tomorrow. lol
Yes, some of us live with chronic pain. We have to manage our energy levels sometimes from hour to hour or minute to minute. We have good days and bad days…and bad days often coincide with days we have no choice but to get certain things done.
It doesn't stop us from living.
We continue to do and to live not IN spite of it…but TO spite it.
Yep. I have exhaustion and psoriatic arthritis.
And they can both kiss my lily white ass.

Meridian Brothers Release First Taster of New Organ-Inspired Opus| 09 September, 2015
Colombia's experimental tropicalistas Meridian Brothers are back with a new track, "Vertigo". With a shuffling rhythm and bursts of keyboards the track resembles the works of electronic music mavericks Raymond Scott and Bruce Haack, with just the groove hinting at its Colombian origins.
The track will feature on the group's upcoming 8-track album Los Suicidas, which we are told is inspired by Colombia's Hammond organ virtuoso Jaime Llano Gonzalez and will feature Colombian rhythms such as pasillos, bambucos and cumbias, alongside foxtrots and waltzes.
Los Suicidas will be released by Soundway Records on 27th Nov 2015.

Collaborative Strategic Improvement through Network Action Learning
The Path to Sustainability
Paul Coughlan and David Coghlan
Appendix 3: INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP ON ACTION LEARNING
Paul Coughlan and David Coghlan
An introductory workshop on action learning at the outset is useful and may even be necessary to provide basic training for those participants who are unfamiliar with action learning or to refresh those who are familiar. Such an introductory workshop is also useful for creating a shared experience of what action learning typically involves. Remember that the introductory workshop on action learning is not a one-off training event. Participants need to appreciate that they are engaged in continuous learning in action through the group process and the interventions of the facilitator. A central issue in action learning training is how participants learn the value of questioning. Asking questions, rather than providing solutions, is one of the core characteristics of action learning. Indeed it is its most distinctive one. Questions aim not merely to seek answers, but to challenge people to think, to explore and to learn. They allow people to reflect, to listen and to be creative. Questions that seek to clarify, to understand, to open up new possibilities enable the emergence of new insights and perspectives. Marquardt (2004) suggests that a useful ground rule for action learning groups is that only questions be asked, and that statements be made only in response to questions. We outline two possible approaches to a training day or half day. Materials on developing action learning skills may be found in McGill and Brockbank (2004) and Marquardt (2004). The latter provides sets of useful checklists which may be used as the basis for assessing...

If you don't have a wine refrigerator then you can always acquire one in the department store or appliance store. There are certain criteria that you will have to look before actually purchasing one. If you are looking for the best wine refrigerator for you then here are some things to take in to consideration.
If you plan to be storing up two types of wine then you can look in to dual temperature wine refrigerators.

Out of Finland and coming to you! The Classical violin
and Jazz piano Duo of our decade: Pekka Kuusisto and
Iiro Rantala. Meet these two internationally renowned
virtuosi and let them with their cunning charm and cheek put
the Tango fire in your heart! Pekka and Iiro have
individually toured Australia many times – Pekka with the
Symphony Orchestras – Iiro with Trio Töykeät and solo - rank
among the highest rated musicians in musical Finland and
indeed the world, and they do so because of two reasons:
They are both top-notch instrumentalists but are not afraid
to constantly seek new grounds for expression. Their duo
collaboration submerges into the world of Tango by means
familiar from the hay days of jazz.
YouTube: Pekka Kuusisto: Sibelius Violin Concerto
YouTube: Iiro Rantala: Tears for Esbjorn
YouTube: Iiro Rantala: Pekka Pohjola
"He's a huge, charismatic talent.
Let's see more of him."
Richard Morrison, The Times,
February 2007
"Lending his wayward genius to all this was the guest
solo violinist, Pekka Kuusisto. What an extraordinary sound
he makes, tremulous as a reed, often folk-like in its
flatness, and yet so expressive."
The Telegraph, February 2010
"Other highlights are the gorgeous romancing of the
Cantabile, the effortlessly sweet-singing Sonata in A and
the heroic Tarantella, originally for violin and orchestra:
here Kuusisto really shows his violinistic mettle with some
impeccable double-stopped spiccato and frenzied,
stratospheric twirling."
The Strad, February 2010
"The brilliant 31-year-old, playing with seemingly
effortless élan and brilliance, brings a breath of fresh air
into the concert hall… [He] is an artist of huge enthusiasm,
energy and imagination, qualities that he transmits to those
around him and the result, at this concert, was an evening
of magical, vibrant music-making, given by players who were
loving what they were doing – and showing it... The drama
and brilliance of Kuusisto's playing was breathtaking"
Irish Examiner, March 2007
Iiro Rantala
"....romantic-classical strivings
in which his famed, composing country man Sibelius
was so good, and with that shakes his head above the
keys as a keyboard lion of the Horowitz type...."
Jacob Haagsma - Leeuwarder Courant - Holland
"...His playing to put it mildly is
virtuoso. One must perhaps go all the way back to Franz
Liszt to find the same kind of virtuosity. At least there is
lots of romanticism in Rantala."
Kjeld Fransden, Berlingske Tidene, Copenhagen
"Pianist Iiro Rantala is a real keyboard
lion. That he sees the grand piano particularly also as a
toy, appears in the many jokes in compositions lie 'Another
Ragtime, 'Unfinnish Tango' and 'Hömppa Humppa'"
Frans van Leeuwen - NCR Handelsblad - Holland
"Iiro Rantala is a pianistic sensation who
makes the strongest case I know to believe in reincarnation
because his pianistic technique and musical sensitivity
speak of depths which appear impossible to have been
achieved in this lifetime alone...."
Gil Goldstein, pianist and arranger, New York City.

Iiro Rantala (1970) – piano – Finland
Haiti Concert
After touring the world for 18 years with Trio Töykeät,
Finnish jazz piano virtuoso Iiro Rantala is
refreshingly still at the forefront of international
pianism. The energetic keyboard lion crosses musical genres
and styles with ease and excitement, playing at his
exhilarating and adventurous best. Definitely entertaining,
zany,unconventional and occasionally wicked, yet always
uncompromising. Iiro Rantala is among the most
internationally visible Finnish jazz musicians, and is
second to none when it comes to unsurpassable keyboard
technique and flaring showmanship. The pianist first became
infected by music in the children's choir Cantores Minores
at the age of seven and soon afterwards was already taking
piano lessons. Iiro Rantala is best known as the
founder and pianist of Trio Töykeät, Finland's most famous
jazz group, which became one of the biggest success stories
in Finnish jazz. Töykeät gave over 2,500 performances in 60
countries between 1988 and 2006, and released 8 albums - a
formidable achievement. The development of Iiro
Rantala as a creative pianistic improvisor has been one of
the most astonishing phenomena in the Finnish music world,
and he has been the winner of all major jazz awards in
Finland during his 22 year career.

I was totally bowled over...knocked out. I immediately

then they started hiring me! Iiro Rantala is one of the
best musicians I have ever known. A RARE talent!"
