"You need to write a review," Jocelyn Murphy, the associate editor of The Free Weekly, said. "You've had so many good things to say about this play."
The musical in question is "The Wedding Singer," wrapping up this weekend at Arkansas Public Theatre in Rogers. Like my first exposure to "A Christmas Story," I was introduced to this tale on the APT stage, not in the movie. Cody Robinson will always be "my" wedding singer. And I love that!
'The Wedding Singer'
WHEN — 8 p.m. Friday & Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday; final weekend
WHERE — Arkansas Public Theatre at the Victory in downtown Rogers
I didn't love the idea of the show. I strongly dislike "rom-coms," and I'm not really in the mood for happy endings. At the first dress rehearsal, when I saw the show to write about it, I focused on the moments I enjoyed, not the storyline:
• Anna Knight as the bride in the opening number.
• Kailee Mathews as Julia when she and Robinson sing "Awesome."
• In the McDonough wedding scene, Robbie letting out all his anger and pain in a song titled "Casualty of Love."
• Sarah Mouritsen blowing the roof off the Victory with "Saturday Night in the City."
• The whole ensemble -- featuring APT newcomer Brandtly Wheeler -- opening Act II with a huge Broadway dance number, "Nothing But the Green."
• Everything about Ty Volz and Michael Myers as the wedding singer's backup band.
Watching the actors, not the play, made me less cranky about the whole premise of love.
On Sunday, I saw the show again, this time with my sister -- who knew the movie -- and my daughter, who is developmentally delayed. And this time, we all loved it.
News to me, the music is not the same as in the movie -- but no community theater could afford the royalties for songs by the Police, Culture Club, Billy Idol, David Bowie and Elvis Costello. Instead, the play uses original tunes, written for the Broadway show, that sound like the '80s, and my sister -- the one who has been all over the country to see Adam Ant -- said it was well done. She wasn't disappointed.
My daughter loves musicals. It got her clap and coo of approval.
And I loved seeing the cast members -- who were struggling a little during the first dress -- shining and confident, dancing like they'd been born doing it and singing their hearts out. I loved the fact that the chorus came in all shapes and ages. I loved the interaction between various players, loved watching them encourage and bolster each other.
Face it, I love community theater. Touring productions are great, offering a taste of Broadway to those who can't make it to New York often enough. But I'd rather watch the people I know doing things they do so well -- or things they've never done before. (Have you seen Kathy McClure rap?)
You should introduce yourself to Arkansas Public Theatre, about to start Season 32. Granted, I remember when it was a little baby theater, doing shows wherever someone would open the door. (I even designed lights for "Tribute," a show at the cool old hotel that is now Haas Hall in Rogers. Every time we plugged the lights in, we prayed we wouldn't burn the building down!) So I guess there's a certain pride in seeing Rogers Little Theater all grown up, with a beautiful venue at the Victory, selling out shows and getting standing ovations. Next up is "The Rocky Horror Show" Sept. 15-Oct. 1. Hope to see you there!

Beijing's new international airport will start test operation in October 2019, local officials have said.
Engineering projects will be finished in July 2019, and the test operation will start three months later, according to Beijing Municipal Office for Coordination and Promotion of the New Airport Construction.
The airport, located 46 kilometers south to downtown Beijing, is designed to take pressure off the over-crowded Beijing Capital International Airport in the northeastern suburbs. It will sits on the junction of Daxing District and Langfang, a city in Hebei Province.
Airport terminal buildings, covering an area of 313,000 square meters, will consist of a centerpiece and five arms resembling a phoenix spreading out its wings.
In accordance with design, the new airport will have four runways and can accommodate 620,000 flights per year. It will be able to handle up to 100 million passengers and 4 million tonnes of cargo and mail each year in the long run.
The projected airport is 67 km away from the current Beijing Capital International Airport. China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines will be the main carriers at the airport.

Theatre review: Radio City Christmas Spectacular
What: Radio City Christmas Spectacular Starring the Rockettes
When: Daily performances through December 30 (except for Christmas Day)
Where: Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie
Cost: Adult tickets range from $29.75 - $95.75. Tickets for kids under 12 start at $14.75.
What I liked: The legendary Rockettes wowed with their dazzling costumes and awe-inspiring leg kicks. The show was nicely paced with 12 scenes separated by a short intermission in the middle. Although parking was $15, we were able to make a fast getaway, which really is a Christmas miracle. This is definitely a family-friendly show. The kids were so entranced by the magical production that they were blissfully well-behaved, much to my delight.
What the kids liked: Santa made appearances throughout the show. The Living Nativity (which has been part of the show since 1933) was also a big hit, largely due to the live animals on stage.
If you go: Bring cash for parking. And pick up a bag of the festive red and green kettle corn to munch on.

What is Mechanical Engineering?
Of the many fields of engineering, mechanical engineering is likely the broadest. In the most basic definition mechanical engineering utilizes principles of motion, energy, materials, and force towards the engineering design of mechanical devices. Because there are numerous mechanical devices, the applications of mechanical engineering are nearly limitless. Nearly every company or organization that designs and manufactures a product employs mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers can also be found in research laboratories, the military, government, and in other professions such as medicine, law or teaching.
Another important area of employment for mechanical engineers is manufacturing. Manufacturing occupations cover almost everything involved in developing a product, from selecting the appropriate materials for different components of a product to choosing the correct/best machinery to manufacture them. Most mechanical engineers in this industry work for equipment manufacturers, aerospace companies, utilities, material processing plants, transportation companies, and petroleum companies.

Conversation / Workshop—
Doug Goodwin and Tony Manzella
Saturday, February 23, 1–3pm
A conversation by Doug Goodwin and Tony Manzella followed by hands-on experimentation of color relationships.
Explore color through the lens of quantum mechanics, additive and subtractive color, emotion and color space, and question how it defines the world around us. How do we balance creative thinking with the standards necessary for order and production? How do we face the constraints of the medium? Is making a book more like aesthetic reproduction or creating something new?

The Community College of Allegheny County provides a supportive and transformative learning environment that prepares graduates to meet critical needs in the region's workforce.
At CCAC, we believe that life outside the classroom is an important part of your college experience. Each CCAC campus has a variety of activities to enhance your lifestyle – including athletics, cultural events and personal development seminars.
The CCAC Educational
Foundation is the fundraising and benefactor arm of the college. It seeks to
create vital connections between the college and the wider community
to ensure the ongoing viability of the college.
PITTSBURGH-The Community College of Allegheny County is
providing a tuition-free certificate program that leads to
family-sustaining jobs in the growing plastics manufacturing
industry in Western Pennsylvania. CCAC's Plastics Manufacturing
Technology Certificate program includes full scholarships that
cover tuition, fees and books. Students will earn an
industry-recognized certification and receive hands-on experience
as well as a paid six-week internship.
Currently, plastics manufacturing is the fifth largest
employment sector in Pennsylvania. Its continued growth will be
fueled by the addition of the Shell cracker plant-anticipated to
attract downstream investment and even more jobs from manufacturers
who use the material-and the increasing use of plastics in
automotive and aerospace industries due to less weight and lower
The two-semester program will prepare students for careers as
manufacturing production technicians with a specialty in plastics.
The program offers evening classes at CCAC West Hills Center, with
the first cohort starting in the fall of 2019, and the second in
the spring of 2020. CCAC has also collaborated with regional
plastics manufacturers who will offer paid internships to trainees
during the last six weeks of the program. The program is made
possible through a $150,000 grant through Governor Wolf's
Manufacturing PA initiative of the Pennsylvania Department of
Community & Economic Development.
"We appreciate the support from the Wolf administration, the
Department of Community and Economic Development and our industry
partners in helping CCAC launch this exciting program that will not
only train individuals for rewarding careers in the growing field
of plastics manufacturing, but will also provide a critical
pipeline of highly skilled workforce talent needed for this rapidly
expanding industry," said CCAC President Dr. Quintin
Bullock when the program was announced last fall. "This program
is just one of the many ways CCAC continues to help drive workforce
development in the region, thereby contributing to the overall
economic vitality and quality of life for those living in
Southwestern Pennsylvania."
The number of available seats is limited, so interested
applicants should apply soon by contacting Pam Grove, manufacturing
grant coordinator, at 412.788.7534 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Magna: Rapprochement to Opel through Astra-order
Magna will take over the development of a new Opel Astra model. Just a year ago, Magna attempted to acquire the whole German GM subsidiary, but the takeover was aborted by General Motors.
Magna Steyr's automobile production plant in Graz is on the road to a new business. As the Handelsblatt reports, the supplier group has good chances to grab the contract to develop the successor model to the Opel Astra Cabriolet. The car should hit the market in 2013 and replace the current Astra with the folding roof.
The potential sales volume is not that interesting, but the rapprochement between General Motors -Opel's parent company- and the supplier group Magna is. It would be their first collaboration since the failure of Opel's acquisition by Magna last year. The acquisition of Opel by Magna was frustrated by the unexpected decision on part of the sellers to keep the German subsidiary. Despite a cost of millions and the loss of orders from the VW Group, Magna ultimately decided not to sue their major customer General Motors.
Between 100 and 120 jobs will be created in Styria for vehicle construction due to this contract, its value being allegedly in the low single-digit million area. The impact on production would probably be rather modest, because the convertible Opel is not exactly a volume model.
Magna's plant in Graz was built out in its heyday to a capacity of 250,000 cars per year. In recent years however, orders successively broke off, especially the construction of the blockbuster BMW X3 and the Chrysler minivans. Currently, about 80,000-100,000 vehicles leave the production band yearly.
Magna Steyr will go on manufacturing the Mercedes G until 2015 and the Aston Martin in Styria. The construction of the Peugeot RCZ and the Mini SUV Crossover also provide for employment.

Loosely based on Mark Bittman's recipe in How to Cook Everything Vegetarian
2+ TBSP canola or peanut oil
2 TBSP minced garlic
2 TBSP minced ginger
2+ TBSP green (or other) curry paste (Thai Kitchen brand is good) - to taste
2 medium eggplant, cut into small cubes (skin removed if been sitting around for a bit!)
2 medium gold potatoes, cut into small cubes
1+ TBSP packed brown sugar - to taste
1 can of coconut milk
Chicken or Veggie Broth (however much you like to get the curry as soupy as you like it)
Cilantro and roasted crushed peanuts for garnish if desired
Hot, cooked, rice
Fry the garlic and ginger in hot oil for a couple of minutes. Add the curry paste and fry for another minute or so. Then add the eggplant and potatoes, turn the heat down a bit, and fry until they start to soften (about 15 minutes). Then add the brown sugar, coconut milk, and broth and let simmer until eggplant and potato soften (keep checking potatoes, but usually takes 20 minutes). Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro and peanuts, if desired.

While browsing in Sephora, I came across the Karuna masks, not having heard of it before or really doing any research, I decided to grab a few of masks solely because I was intrigued that they weren't paper masks but cloth. I wasn't sure if that meant real cloth or something similar but I wanted to give them a try. The description states that it is a "sheet mask made out of wood-pulp fiber", which is what I think they should have advertised on the label as these masks are definitely not as thick as cloth but are sturdy that the typical paper mask that is on the market.
Each mask costs $8.00 if you decide to buy them individually in the store or you can order them online on the Sephora's website in a set of four for the cost of $28.00, which basically saves you $.50; so maybe not much a deal there. Whether you buy it individually or in bulk, each of the masks are .95 oz.
The brand currently carries nine different masks and one eye mask. One should also note the way that these masks are packaged, each individual one comes in a cardboard envelope, which when opened reveals a think plastic, sealed envelope that contains the mask. Each mask is extremely saturated with the serum, so much so that there is often a lot of left over serum in the envelope after use.
To apply, the instructions are the same as any other paper mask; unfold and place on face, aligning with the cut-outs, smoothen, then remove the back; let sit for 10-20 minutes, press the remaining serum into the skin then remove. And most importantly, do not wash your face. I find that the cut out of the eyes, nose, and lips are hit or miss, sometimes they're almost perfect, sometimes they miss the mark completely. I also find that after the 20 minutes are up, there is still an extreme amount of serum left in the mask, which leaves the face extremely wet and leaves you in the awkward stage of contemplating whether or not to wet a little off to apply your moisturizer or to wait to see if it dries or to just add the moisturizer immediately and let them dry together. Which whatever, you decide, your face will be a little sticky.
Karuna Clarifying Mask:
This mask is targeted toward acne and problem skin; I bought this mask because it contains ingredients that prevent breakouts and provides hydration. I didn't like the overpowering citrus smell of this mask, honestly I almost threw it. The application was extremely difficult and messy because it was dripping wet, and the cut-outs were off; once I got the mask, it felt nice and cool on my skin. I waited 20 minutes and removed the mask, I didn't see much a different in my skin, let the extra serum dry partially then applied my moisturizer and went to bed. The next morning, I had an under the skin pimple and my skin was dry, which made me realize that maybe a clarifying mask shouldn't be a serum. I have combination skin, so this was a bad move on my part, the only person who would probably benefit from this mask is an oily skin type.
Karuna Anti-Oxidant Mask:
I tried this mask when the weather when the winds were especially brutally cold and mercy less as I wanted to give my skin an extra boost against the elements. The ingredients in this mask helps to calm and repair damaged skin. This mask did not have much of a smell which I was thankful, the application was much better than the previous mask but once again there were was a lot of serum left over, I think I managed to accidentally rip this mask a little by the cut-out even though it was thicker than paper. So these masks are not immune to rippage while trying to figure out how to align with face. Once again, I waited 20 minutes, removed, did wipe a little off after it didn't absorb the remainder in two minutes and applied my moisturizer. I found that my skin looked better in the morning and for the next two days, my skin retained that look. This mask is recommended for all skin types and I would have to agree.
Karuna Hydrating Mask:
This mask did not have a smell, the application process was a little difficult and there was a lot of serum left over. I waited for 20 minutes to remove the mask, after which my skin immediately looked less dully and more radiant. I didn't have any break outs the next morning and my skin remained hydrated and radiant for about three days. Would recommend this mask to those with dry skin, normal skin and combination skin type.
Overall, Karuna cloth masks are worth the try as there is a good amount of serum in every mask and they do provide results.

Backpacking in Grayson Highlands State Park
for directions on this adventure go here
The other weekend we headed south to the Grayson Highlands to get a healthy dose of fall foliage and do some backpacking. The weather was perfect and cool and we could not have landed a better campsite, I mean, look at those views!! We started at 1:00pm on Saturday and the parking lot was absolutely full and cars were lining both sides of the road. We found a spot, geared up and off we went. We hiked up the Rhododendron Trail since it's a little bit more scenic than the backpackers parking lot route. Once up in the highlands we saw some wild ponies and TONS of people, however, after leaving Grayson Highlands the crowds thinned considerably and we were rewarded with amazing views in every direction. When we reached the Thomas Knob Shelter we realized that a majority of the campgrounds were quickly being taken up. We turned around to head back towards a clearing we had just hiked by and I was able to claim the last campsite with an uninterrupted view of the mountains to the south. Michael and Will peeled off their packs and left to climb on things while Mel and I relaxed in the sun. We had a huge dinner with all of us sharing our food and some whiskey. We called it an early night because the sun went down so early. It was such a fun, much-needed weekend for all of us!

6 Ways On How You Can Outdo Your Co-workers, Without Burning BridgesBy Seow San • 3 min read
The working world can be a cut-throat environment. In order to perform better than your co-workers, you have to outmanoeuvre them by coming up with devious plans. …Or do you not have to? Becoming the ace employee that your company needs does not have to come at the expense of your relationships. Here's how you can gain the respect of everyone in your company – without coming across as a complete jerk:

This might end up being more of a list. Or, it might be an actual article.
Who knows?
Let's see.
Indeed, life is so very short.
Working long hours can be crushing.
So what shall we get out of it all? A sore back, a hangover and indignation at some wasted effort? May I suggest something amazing for your day, your night, your week, your month, your year, your whole life?
If you're a so-called "creative" professional, these should mostly be easy.
Do the wrong thing. Write or design against type, fashion, or ego. Try hard to be so wrong it's amazing. Worst typos, letter spacing, layout, grammar, etc., and at the end, see if you can notice something worth the world's interest and time. I bet you can.
Sing while you work, until somebody at the next desk or next door begs you to stop. Be sure to sing something you love so much it's worth singing at the top of your voice.
Hug somebody – ASAP. And hey gentlemen, hug without that back slapping, punching. Just hold — and hold long, even longer than you think you should. Get completely uncomfortable.
Like to listen to music while you work? Find some new, scary music (research a site you've never been on) and work to something experimental and totally out of your comfort zone and genre preferences.
Sit perfectly still, relax your body, and breathe from your belly (inhale, hold and release) to a count of 5, 5, 5 and do three sets. Then increase to 6, 6, 6 and then 7, 7, 7… Repeat as necessary to recharge, calm, and relax yourself.
Yes, I'll get to some actual creative, branding ideas now for you, too.
Ask the client/agency exactly what they'd like and follow it — to the letter. And see if at some point they pass out or actually ask what you'd prefer to do.
Run for political office. Do your own Facebook page, minisite, donation funnel, and yes! You can finally stand out as much as you want — because at long last, you'll be the client and the agency. Be and do something important that serves others. Shake things up. Make this a better world.
Offer to do the next client campaign by you going door to door, or walk the street with a sandwich board. Put yourself out there for real, vulnerable, and quickly find out how much you believe in what you're working on.
Say, write, design something or take a photograph of something really vulnerable. Personally, branding, business, anything. Go to the very heart, naked, exposed, fragile, dangerous, personal, scary, and be the truth. Let it all hang out…And see how the public responds.
Stop reading this right now and tell someone how amazing, smart, beautiful, wonderful, talented and loveable they are. And hang up, walk away…don't wait for a response. How did that feel?
How is your work going now?
At this point, I feel pretty sure you're getting the idea. If work isn't letting you push the envelope, play or stretch enough, do it anyway. In your own world, in your own life.
Do something amazing, all the time.
However, "amazing" doesn't have to be big or world-changing. It can be quiet, simple, and change a single moment, like a smile, a hug, or serving food to a loved one or friend.
Just thinking amazing every day is a good idea. Up your game, light up the world around you, make yourself feel like more, create the impression of increase with everyone you meet.
Last, never stop learning how to learn. Ever.

FG's list of pre-election Budget gifts still growing
Insulation grants and 9pc VAT for booming tourism sector to stay
The Government is expected to extend popular home improvement and energy efficiency grants in next year's Budget 2016, the Sunday Independent can reveal.
The tourist industry is also likely to benefit from an extension of the 9pc VAT rate, which has been a huge boost to the sector since it was introduced.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan's officials are currently examining measures announced in recent budgets as he prepares to unveil €750m in tax cuts.
Budget 2016 will be the Coalition's last ditch effort to restore confidence in the Government as the general election approaches.
On top of an expected Universal Social Charge (USC) cut of around 1.5pc, Mr Noonan is hoping to make changes to inheritance tax, which has become an election issue in recent months.
The home renovation grant, which allows homeowners claim tax relief of more than €4,000 on home refurbishments, has seen a huge take up since it was first introduced. The grant also acted as a much needed stimulus for the construction industry. Energy efficiency grants for homeowners and businesses have also proved popular since introduced.
"There's no fiscal imperative to get rid of any of those grants - but obviously the Government has to assess if the measures are effective or if there a more effective ways of doing it," said a Government source.
"The only reason Noonan would change them is if it was believed there would be better ways of doing it," the source added.
The source said "thousands of contractors" around the country have benefited from home improvement grants.
"The only way it would go is if Noonan was to do something even bigger but I don't think there's anything planed," the source added.
The 9pc VAT for the tourism industry has been widely deemed a success by Government and those working in the sector. The industry has applied huge lobbying pressure to retain the rate and it is understood it will be in place for at least another year.
With the economy growing and Exchequer returns exceeding expectation, the Government will have more to spend than it has for any budget since it took power.
However, due to strict European Union budgetary rules, it can only make tax cuts totalling €750m. An additional €750m earmarked for services will also be fought over by ministers in coming weeks.
"The employment figures are very strong, growth is very strong so you will have economists saying there is no need for an expansionary budget, so whatever he does on the tax side will be very measured and focused," a finance source said.
There is an expectation the controversial USC will be significantly cut but it is unlikely the €70,000 cap on the top rate will be increased - meaning high earners will not fully benefit from the cuts.
A Labour source said the party want to ensure low income earners as much as middle income earners benefit.
Mr Noonan, meanwhile, is coming under pressure from backbenchers to not only focus on low and middle income earners in the budget but also give something to the elderly.
The older vote will be hugely important to the Government in the general election and TDs are anxious they benefit from Budget 2016.

Ready to make more money in your business? I'm sharing some of the ways I'm currently making money in my online business and some of the ways I wish I would have started earlier!
There are times when we get so wrapped up in what we do we tend to forget about other ideas for making money, even the simplest money making idea! I' even feel into the trap of wondering way to make more money online. Once I realized having multiple streams of income would help me hit my goals I realized the were so many ways to actually make money that I was neglecting!

An excerpt from an essay on Ash Wednesday by David Mills taken from the March 2004 issue of Touchstone:
"When you fast," Jesus says to us in the Sermon on the Mount, "do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men to be fasting. Truly, I say unto you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face; that you appear not to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place."
So much, you might think, for the traditional imposition of ashes on Ash Wednesday, as practiced by many Western Christians since the early Middle Ages. In liturgical churches, the priest or pastor marks a small cross on your forehead with ashes, traditionally made by burning the palms from the previous year's Palm Sunday. As he does so, he tells you that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
This seems to be exactly the sort of thing Jesus rejected. After all, the point of smearing ashes on your forehead is to disfigure it in a way everyone else is bound to notice. But Jesus is referring to a private fast made public so that people would applaud. He is not referring to a public ritual, which by definition cannot be observed in secret and for observing which you earn no applause. Jesus himself observed the public feasts and fasts of his day.
A great value of liturgical disciplines is that you can do the things you ought to do without worrying about whether you are doing them for the right reasons. You win no fame or favor for doing what everyone is supposed to do. As a simple test, grab someone at church the Sunday after Ash Wednesday and say, "Hey, I had ashes put on my forehead last Wednesday." The answer you will get will be some variation of "Big whoop." It is like asking for approval because you didn't sing a hymn during the sermon or came to the 11:00 service at 11:00.
And of course you may wipe off the ashes when you leave the service, so that it remains private in the sense of remaining within the gathered community. Having enacted the lesson liturgically, having the ashes smeared on your forehead, you will have ashes smeared on your heart.
But all that said, I would not ignore the usefulness of keeping the ashes as a public witness. I was, as a new Christian, deeply affected by seeing hundreds of people walking around Boston one late winter's day with smudges on their foreheads, and finding out that evening, from a woman at a seafood restaurant, why she had that mark on her face. It had never occurred to me that people could be so confident in their religion as to wear its marks in public.
But what does the rite actually mean? What value does it have? I will try to exegete the rite for Ash Wednesday.

About the Artist
Born and raised in Ghana, I am a performer, director, new works deviser and gourd artist who began her artistic training in Accra. I moved to the United States after a brief career in Ghanaian television to pursue my Master of Fine Arts degree in Theater at Towson University, Maryland.
A year after my degree at Towson, I discovered my love and talent for gourd art and decided to pursue it. Each gourd takes me on a different and thrilling journey. I'm glad I found this craft as it is fulfilling and meaningful in a way that's hard to explain. And I am every bit as excited to share my creations with you.

Italian leather ID wallet with coin purse & snap closure
A beautiful little leather wallet with a fresh new look and a practical design rendered in butter-soft lambskin with pockets for cards, bills, coins and ID. Slightly smaller than the palm of your hand it tucks into any handbag and keeps your valuables secure with its strap and snap closure.
The design on the printed lambskin featured in this line is full of colorful and fragrant flowers which immediately calls to mind a picturesque "square" or piazza near Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy called Campo dei Fiori.

Reading: Revelation 2: 1-7
"I also know that you are enduring patiently and bearing up for the sake of my name, and you have not grown weary. But…you have abandoned the love you had at first."
"Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Historically lighthouses are known for saving many ships and lives due to their light in the storm. But history also has several stories of "wreckers" who deliberately lured ships to crash on reefs so as to plunder them.
Listen! The warning comes to this Ephesus church—this lampstand of truth–so it can conquer any rot or decay before it can destroy.
This warning, and those to follow to the other early churches, are spoken in love and not punishment, in truth and not deceit, in hope and not destruction. The purpose is to restore broken worship and relationships within their communities before failure.
And these concerns are being given to the early churches—the ones who had first hand witnesses of Jesus' life and sacrifice and grace. The ones who began in joy of life and beauty, in joy of hope and compassion, in joy of His redeeming grace that they couldn't wait to share with others.
Where does our witness from our church communities today convey joy? To each other, or to other denominations, or to nonbelievers? How much do we need to hear the same warnings?
How do we not become like the Pharisees of Jesus' time so diligent to protect God's words that they became blind to the needs of their people? So determined to hang on to their definition of power that they crucified their own Messiah.
"You have abandoned the love you had at first."
Lord, please renew our hearts to be able to sing as the psalmist, "give praise, O servants of the Lord, you that stand in the house of the Lord,….sing to His name for He is gracious." (Psalm 135) Show us how we share Your hope in all circumstances.
Psalm of Worship: Psalm 27:10
"If my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up."

I thought I would blog about five Christmas songs between now and Christmas. The first of the five Christmas songs I've chosen to share is "When a Child is Born", sung by Johnny Mathis. This was a big hit for Mathis in 1976, reaching number 1 in the Disunited Kingdom, and it had the coveted number 1 spot for the Christmas of that year.
It is not my favourite song by any stretch of the imagination, in fact I find it quite irritating. But I thought I would include it because I remember it being played for week after week on Top of the Pops when I was a child. It is still, to date, the only Johnny Mathis song I know.

Hundreds of coaches gather at Notre Dame to learn about concussions
NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Hundreds of coaches, athletic directors and educators are gathering on the campus of the University of Notre Dame to attend a weekend conference on youth sports safety.
The three day conference is called, "Play like a Champion Today Champion Character in Sport Conference", (PLACT), and was thought up by F. Clark Power, Ph.D., the program's director, who is a Developmental Phycologist and a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Notre Dame.
The conference is designed to teach coaches, parents, and youth sport administrators through research-based, child-centered educational practices that foster moral, social, and spiritual development.
One of the keynote speakers is Dr. Mark McLaughlin, the medical director of Princeton's Brain and Spine Care. He will be speaking on his extensive concussion research. He said the best advice he can give parents to help prevent their child from getting a concussion is, "to pick the coaches carefully, if you make sure your child has a great coach, then we know then they are going to be concerned and observant."
Lindsay Truedale, a Chicago Athletic Director and coach at Holy Trinity High School said one of the reasons she signed up for the conference is to find out more information on the topic of concussions and to hear Dr. McLaughlin speak.

Are your real estate ads helping or hurting next year's GCI? 🤔
I mean, sure, you're getting some leads, but what message are you sending potential buyers?
Are your real estate ads helping build your brand or just making your phone ring?
To help answer some of these questions with real life examples, we decided to take a deep dive into the state of real estate advertising in 2018.
Here's what we came up with.
Video Real Estate Ads: Are You Ready for Your Close up?
Let's face it, the intimacy and human touch that comes across in real estate video ads is a natural fit for the industry.
In fact, most wildly successful agents I know are damn near magnetic and captivating in person, but through email… well, let's just say some of the magic just doesn't translate well to the written word.
In order to get your creative juices flowing to create your own real estate video ads, check out some of our favorite examples and our key takeaways from each below.
1.Warren Lewis Sotheby's International Realty: (Agent Intro) "An Expert Broker Makes Home Hunting Easy"
Featuring agent Aroza Sanjana, the video starts off with her introducing herself and explaining that all clients are unique. She then meets up with actual clients and brings them to her actual listing in Prospect Heights.
It's open, honest, and radiates the calm, down to earth process working with a true local expert offers buyers and sellers. Even better, Aroza comes across as the absolute antithesis of the stereotypical New York City broker.
Smart. Very, very smart.
2. Compass Real Estate's Marc Cowan: (Agent Intro)
3. Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty Roh Habibi: (Agent Intro, Branding)
4. Hawaii Life: (Branding) 10 Seconds of Hawaii Life
PS I can personally vouch for Ululani's on Maui if you're interested.
Bonus: Rehumanize Your Boring Emails With BombBomb
In 2018, video is not just for flashy professional Youtube videos. In fact, self-shot videos that communicate ideas to your leads and clients are the perfect way to remhumanize your relationships
BomBomb is the fastest and easiest way to integrate super effective personal videos into your email interactions with clients and leads.
It lets you shoot, edit, track ,and email out videos on the fly so you can answer your leads questions with a video explainer instead of a long boring email.
It's also perfect for drip campaigns to shake things up and get people's attention quickly.
Check out BombBomb below to see how you can start rehumanizing your connections to close more deals today.
5. Berkshire Hathaway Real HomeServices (Branding): The Fountain
It ends with an absolutely killer tagline, "Are you comfortable, or are you home"?
6. The Boutique Real Estate Group: (Listing) 27112 Highland Dr
It's cinematic, hip, professionally shot, and really captures the soul of the property rather than just a boring tour.
7. The Agency Real Estate: (Listing): 600 Rustic Road
8. Tim Smith: (Branding) $50k "Dougie" Rap Video Ad
9. Decker Realty Group (Branding, Broker Intro)
10. Mark Spain Group
The takeaway here is pretty obvious. If the pitch is all there is in the video, that's all you're going to remember!
Outdoor Real Estate Ads: Catch Your Leads in the Wild
Believe it or not, the outdoors is more than just what you walk through from your car to your listing.
In fact, many people have the free time to go on long walks with pets or loved ones, jog, ride bikes, and all manner of activities unknown to manically busy Realtors!
That makes the great outdoors a prime place to reach those pesky leads who aren't down with the instachat or snapgram or whatever latest app is at the top of the iTunes charts.
Here are some of our favorite examples of outdoor real estate ads that pack a punch!
11. Sense of Home Scratch & Sniff Ads
These eye-catching and freshly scented scratch and sniff ads, designed by Agency 53 for a new development in Denver, Colorado, are enough to make your average curious resident stop in their tracks.
Once they do, the message behind these ads, that even new developments will become "home" rather than just a place to live, really hits home.
11. Compass: Powering Your Home Search
If you want examples of clever, bleeding edge real estate ads, you could do worse than check in on tech-based brokerage Compass' lightning fast expansion across the country.
These slickly designed and clever ads on electric car charging ports send the perfect message to the very kind of hip, upwardly mobile and eco conscious clientele every brokerage covets.
That said, the (dead dinosaur powered) Rolls Royce Phantom does seem suspiciously parked… Still, the copy is great, the design is great, and best of all the idea is great.
12. Stribling Building Listing Signs
As classic as a brownstone facade, these well made listing ad signs give you everything you need to know and nothing you don't. Instead of selling the sizzle, Stribling is going with a subtle nod to tradition and selling the steak. In many cases the location alone will tell most people how much, and how realistic the home these signs are perched on is.
13. Halstead Outdoor Ads
As part of their killer new rebranding, Manhattan's Halstead knocks it out of the park yet again with these eye candy outdoor real estate signs.
14. Realtor.com Subway Ad
Making a pun about the subway seems like something of a rite of passage (ha!) for advertising execs cutting their teeth on subway signage. Realtor.com's ad here on the other hand seems to have been well thought out and well conceived. It may not look like it, but that's an LCD display that alternates between ads like this and upcoming subway departures. Eyeballs get glued to these signs like rats to pizza. 🍕🐀#pizzarat
15. Realtor.com House Wrap Ad
Then there are the hotshot young creatives who come up with ideas like this one. Not only does it show off just how creative the placement is, but it then makes its way online where it (hopefully) takes on a life of its own.
16. 432 Park Avenue
With prices that soar into the HIGH eight figures, Manhattan's 432 Park Avenue is no ordinary building. That means even something as pedestrian as a billboard covering up a construction site needs to be something special.
16. Duckin Boat Ads
Did you really think we'd do an entire section of outdoor advertising and NOT mention the (in)famous duck ads in Seattle? I dare you to not whip out your phone for a picture when you see this guy in person!
Real Estate Facebook Ads: Thumbs up for Laser Targeted Advertising
When it comes to eyeballs, the number of them you get on your ad matters a lot less than who owns them.
You might get 1,000 eyeballs connected to 500 people on your listing ad, but if none of those people live in or are interested in moving to your farm area… Well, you get the idea.
That's where Facebook comes in. The promise, and often the reality of Facebook real estate advertising is that you'll get the RIGHT eyeballs and lots of them.
These are all pretty self explanatory so I'll leave you to them.
17. Core Real Estate: "Work With me"
18. Brown Harris Stevens: Listing ad
19. Warburg: Listing ad
20. Pacific Union Real Estate: Ode to a San Franciscan's San Francisco
21. Zephyr Real Estate: Listing ad
Print Real Estate Ads: Offline, Antiquated, and… a Big ROI?
The rumors of real estate print advertising's death have been widely exaggerated. In fact, some agents still swear by the persuasive qualities of ink and paper.
Here's a few examples of killer print ads that we have to think have a great ROI or at least help grow brands.
22. Douglas Elliman: Ask Elliman
Still one of our favorite real estate ad campaigns of the past few years, Elliman's "Ask Elliman" campaign hits all the right notes for a real estate ad. It manages to evoke expertise and care at the same time. Perfect.
23. National Association of Realtors: Most Valuable Square Inch
An old school classic of the genre, this magazine ad from NAR is pure messaging and persuasion goodness.
24. Lefferts Place Mews
Sleek and appropriate print ad for a new development in an historic Brooklyn neighborhood.
25. Nourmand and Associates: New Hire Announcement
Okay, you're probably wondering why I put a new hire announcement of all things on this list. This one is the perfect example of the fact that if you want to get ahead, you need to sweat the small stuff. The typography, layout and imagery is all pinpoint perfect.
Over to You
Have a great real estate ad you think belongs here? Have some insight for trends in 2019? Let is know in the comments.

USCIS Is Denying Pending Forms I-131 for Abandonment Due to International Travel
August 20, 2017
USCIS has began denying Form I-131 advance parole applications for abandonment in instances where the applicant has traveled abroad during the pendency of the application. The pending Form I-131 applications are being denied even if the applicant has a separate valid advance parole document or a valid H, K, L, or V visa to return to the United States.
This marks a break from a long-standing previous USCIS policy. In the past, USCIS has approved advance parole renewal applications for individuals who travel abroad during the pendency of the application with a valid Advance Parole Document or a valid H, K, L, or V visa.
Now, if you leave the US before your Advance Parole application is approved, it is considered abandoned. You may still re-enter using your nonimmigrant visa, but you would have to file a new Advance Parole application, and stay in the US while it is pending (about 3 months), or until your Application for Adjustment of Status is approved.
Electronic Devices
April 15, 2017
Recently, the searches of travelers' personal electronic devices have become more frequent at US airports. While the chances that you are singled out for inspection and requested to submit your electronic devices to a search by CBP agents remain minimal, it may be prudent to take the following steps:
If you are coming in for a short stay, consider leaving non-essential devices behind.
Be aware of the content of your social media account pages.
Delete any sensitive personal or company data from your devices prior to travel
Discuss moving sensitive company data to a cloud, to be retrieved once you have passed inspection in the US.
Finally, you always have the right to refuse submitting to a search by an immigration official, or disclose any information, including passwords for your devices and accounts. However, a refusal may and probably will result in the denial of admission to the US.

Travelling to the US
April 5, 2017
The recent developments in US immigration enforcement are making many prospective travelers nervous about being able to complete their planned trips to the United States. It is important to keep in mind that Trump's executive orders have not changed how the vast majority of travelers are inspected when they seek to enter the US.
There are important issues to consider for all travelers as you prepare for your trip to the US.
The US. immigration laws do not guarantee anyone except the US citizens the right to enter the country. Holding a U.S. visa or an ESTA merely lets you seek entry. For example, a US visa stamp in your passport authorizes the airlines to allow you to board a flight to the US, and informs the border control personnel about the stated purpose of your visit. Admission is never guaranteed.
A Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officer interviewing you at the airport does not have to prove that you are doing something wrong before they can deny admission, on the contrary, the burden is on you to establish compliance. There are several legal reasons someone may be deemed "inadmissible," including misrepresenting the purpose of a visit, admission to a crime, lack of sufficient documentation, previous violations of immigration law, etc.
Whatever the outcome of your admission interview, you have the right to expect courtesy and professionalism from any CBP personnel you deal with. You should at a minimum ask for an opportunity to explain any perceived discrepancy in your paperwork, or wrongdoing on your part, but try to avoid escalating the situation, never resort to sarcasm and in general just be nice. Most of these officers are not out to get you, and will let you in once they are satisfied with your explanations.
What to Expect
As you know, most travelers are able to pass the CBP inspection with only minimal interaction with an officer. Most likely, you'd be asked about the purpose of your visit, and as long as your answer matches your visa, you'll be waived through. However, sometimes an officer feels that more detailed questioning is necessary, or you may just randomly be picked for a secondary inspection.
Secondary Inspection
For secondary inspection, you'd be placed in a waiting room, and subsequently interviewed at length about the purpose of your visit, your job, your past travels, your contacts and/or relatives in the U.S., or anything else CBP is interested in. You may be asked to let a CBP officer examine your laptop, phone or personal effects. They may even ask to see the contents of your wallet, or ask to search your clothing.
You don't have to submit to any searches and may refuse, but keep in mind that it may give CBP grounds to refuse to admit you to the U.S. As unpleasant as this is, often a CBP officer is just looking to verify your own story -- for example, they might want to call the client you say you are coming to meet, to verify the date of the meeting.
Deferred Inspection
In relatively few cases, CBP might feel that you probably should be admitted, but there is not enough evidence to corroborate your story. They may then grant a deferred inspection -- you'll be allowed in, but will have to appear later (usually in a matter of days, sometimes weeks) at the CBP office to provide further evidence.
Withdrawal of Application for Admission
In some cases, a CBP officer may decide that through no fault of your own, or by honest mistake you have obtained a wrong visa, or did not realize the purpose of your visit to the US does not correspond to your visa. In such cases you may be offered an option to voluntarily withdraw your application for admission. While this would prevent you from entering the U.S., it does not really place a stain on your record with the immigration authorities, and does not make it substantially more difficult to apply for a visa in the future. Bottom line -- if presented with a choice between withdrawal of application for admission or expedited removal, you should choose the former.
Planning Ahead
For business travelers coming in on an ESTA or a B-1 visa, I strongly recommend reviewing the list of permissible business-related activities in the U.S. If you are in doubt about whether your status in the US authorizes you to engage in a particular activity, please contact me before your trip.
Detention at an Airport
Because you have not yet been admitted to the US, if you are placed in secondary inspection, or otherwise delayed, you do not have the same rights as you normally would. There is no right to an attorney, or even to a phone call. However, you can always ask to notify your US contact that you are delayed, and in most cases, you'll be able to call anyone you like. An attorney may call the local CBP office to intervene on your behalf, but it is really up to the local CBP supervisor to take the call or not.

Myrtle Lorene Argie of Warsaw Missouri is Tragically Killed in a Head-On Car Crash on US Highway 65
Pettis County Missouri-
The tragic car crash occurred on Monday, December 3rd, 2018 in Pettis County.
A Missouri State Highway Patrol report #180723374 stated that at approximately 1:00p.m. on the above date, a 2013 Dodge driven by Delores R. Letourneau, 43, of Sedalia Missouri was driving northbound, in the southbound lanes of US Highway 65, just South of Claycomb Road.
The report states that Letourneau's Dodge then struck head-on, a 1999 Toyota driven by George R. Argie, 86, along with a passenger, his wife Myrtle Lorene Argie, 76, both of Warsaw Missouri.
We are saddened to learn that Lorene Argie was pronounced at approximately 1:43 p.m. by Pettis County Assistant Coroner Todd Asbury.
Both Delores Letourneau and Mr. Argie were transported to Bothwell Hospital for treatment of minor injuries by Pettis County Ambulance Department.
It was also reported that both Mr. and Mrs. Argie were wearing their seatbelts while Delores Letourneau was not wearing a safety device.
The fatal head-on collision that claimed Mrs. Argies life was investigated by Cpl. J.D. Ownes, 876, of Troop A and the Missouri State Highway Patrols Major Crash Investigation Unit #1, along with Sgt. H.A. Sears, 1200. They were assisted by Trooper A.M. Jeffreys, 933, Trooper M.J. Ownes, 488, and Pettis County Sheriff's Deputies. Don's Towing also helped cleanup the accident scene.
It was also later reported by several sources that Letourneau was later arrested and taken to the Pettis County Jail for multiple offences, including felony DWI.
Lorene Argie taught English at Warsaw High School from 1982 until her retirement. This past October George and Myrtle Lorene celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary. They were married October 22nd, 1977 at the First Baptist Church on Spokane Missouri.
Our sympathy and prayers go out to the Argie family and all who knew and loved Myrtle Lorene.
George Argie may have a claim against the insurance company that insures the 2013 Dodge that Delores Letourneau was driving. It is common in most cases that victims can recover money for all of their medical bills, lost wages, damages and for the past, current and future pain and suffering, they have or will experience.
An experienced, serious injury and wrongful death attorney will advise Mr. Argie and his family and manage his claim against the big insurance company. The attorney will protect his interests, so the he and his family can focus on their recovery. An experienced attorney with a proven track record, will also organize all of the evidence, track and organize all of the medical records and billing, and negotiate with the insurance companies on behalf of Mr. Argie.

The sole focus of our practice, is getting our clients the settlements they deserve, after they have suffered an injury or the tragic loss of a loved one.

Maintaining a relationship with your children or grandchildren is an absolute priority. Indeed, research has demonstrated that children thrive when they have a network of supportive, loving adults around them. Unfortunately, Ohio's family court system can make it difficult for some relatives — in some cases, parents — to have access to the children in their lives. Many feel this is incredibly unjust, yet don't know where to turn.
At Hartley Law Office, LLC, we can assist. Our legal team has extensive experience helping parents and grandparents assert their rights to spend time with their children and grandchildren. We understand the importance of such relationships and how to work within the legal system to foster them.
Maintaining Your Most Important Relationships
In recognition of his effectiveness as a practitioner of family law, founding attorney Aaron P. Hartley has been selected for inclusion in Ohio's Super Lawyers' Rising Stars list — a distinction conferred upon only 2.5 percent of practicing attorneys, based on select criteria.
He is adept at helping individuals and couples resolve legal complexities that affect their access to their children. These include matters arising from:
- Grandparents' rights — In Ohio, grandparents can often petition for visitation rights. We can help them determine if they meet the criteria required for success.
- Fathers' rights — Several factors will affect a father's ability to obtain custody or visitation rights. Our firm offers legal support to fathers who want to ensure that their rights are protected.
- Paternity — Paternity is important to establish for several reasons. Perhaps most pressingly, establishing paternity is the first step for fathers toward establishing parental rights. Without taking this step, many fathers are denied access to their children.
To learn more about these issues, reach out to our firm for a consultation. You can call us at 937-684-9271 or contact us online. Individuals often have many questions about fathers' rights and grandparents' rights, and we aim to be a resource and help resolve them. Based in Dayton, we serve throughout Montgomery County.

Beauty in Chaos"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." —Lao Tzu
I wanted to create a series of images that consider the way we as individuals self-style our lives, plotting out our perceived existence, and how these personal expectations are often seemingly dashed by life's actual outcomes.
The photographs were taken in a controlled studio environment, with their actively chosen color palettes, costumes and poses, they reference the notion of idealized existence; projections we consciously or inadvertently impose on our own lives. They, like depictions in advertisements, are alluring but false.
The term "glitch" widely refers to an unexpected technical malfunction, and the 21st Century artistic method of "glitching" is the manipulation of a given medium to produce some element of corruption. The introduction of random, visual glitches to these otherwise thoughtfully planned and executed images is analogous to life's uncontrolled variables, and the myriad ways our idealized personal narratives are regularly upended and thrown into seeming chaos.
With unplanned outcomes and unmet expectations can come disappointment, even devastation. But life— like these images —albeit imperfect, still contains wonderful things.

Are your skincare products non-comedogenic?
YES. Our skincare range is entirely non-comedogenic and won't block pores.
I found a product in store and haven't been unable to find it again - will it be restocked?

Is the Bee Venom Crème supposed to burn when applied?
There is a degree of light burning / tingling as the product works - this effect aids in the plumping and tightening of the skin and is totally normal. If you experience an uncomfortable level of burning, wash off the product immediately and discontinue use.
I have a known bee allergy - is the Bee Venom Face Crème suitable for me?
NO. If you have sensitive skin or skin that is prone to dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis, the Bee Venom Crème is not recommended. We advise patch testing before using this product for all skin types.
Is your bee venom extracted ethically, without harming the bees?
YES. Our bee venom process is bee friendly using a low current electromagnetic plate with the process happening once a month the rest of the month the bees go about their business as honey bees.
Are your products gluten free?
YES. In the unlikely event that there was gluten it would be in trace amount.
What order do I apply the skin products?
We suggest that you apply serums first, followed by cremes and finished with oils. The oils are able to penetrate through the cremes, where as, not so readily the other way around.
My airless pump (60g skincare tubes) has stopped working - how do I get it working again?
These pumps have closed systems designed to keep your cream at its best by keeping air out and work really well when kept closed – if you happened to unscrew the pump, this introduces air and the pump will stop working – but don't worry it's an easy fix! Simply squeeze out any trapped air, re-screw the pump on and you will be good to go again!
(Sometimes you need to apply some light pressure to the tube while you pump to remove the last of the air.)
Because it is a closed system (preventing any drawback of dirt and contaminants and keeping the product in perfect condition), the tube will slowly collapse over time as the product is pumped out. This is normal and why there is no straw attached to the inside of the pump

Tiger Woods's first round at the Honda Classic was reminiscent of most of his rounds in 2018: a handful of birdies, a handful of mistakes, and a handful of wild tee shots with his driver. But, as we've seen a lot so far during this comeback, Woods showed an ability to laugh at himself.
At the par-4 6th hole, Woods pulled out his driver, a risky choice for the hole as the PGA Tour broadcasters acknowledged. He proceeded to smack a drive so far right that he immediately began laughing at himself on the tee as he watched his shot sail away wide of the gallery (and somehow eventually made par). Luckily for us, cameras caught the moment for your viewing pleasure.
Watch the video below.

Defense Minister visited the military units in the frontline zone
According to the instructions of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Mr. Ilham Aliyev, construction work is continuing in military units.
Minister of Defense Colonel General Zakir Hasanov and the leadership of the ministry visited military units in the frontline zone and inspected some military facilities, which are under construction. The Minister of Defense checked the progress of the construction works and assigned relevant tasks.
Then the minister got acquainted with the conditions created in the military units. Colonel-General Z. Hasanov, having inspected the office and administrative premises at the headquarters, military medical institutions, as well as a vehicle park and the storage facilities meant for the storage of military equipment, gave specific instructions.
The Minister of Defense brought to the attention of the military personnel the tasks assigned by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to the Azerbaijan Army and gave appropriate instructions in connection with the fulfillment of the forthcoming tasks, improvement of the service condition, provision servicemen with medical services at a high level, and in regard with a number of other issues.
