Stay informed on our latest news!
Fringe Festival
We (Frank Adamson and myself) are writing and producing a play/musical called Quartet and hope to be showcasing it in the Winnipeg Fringe Festival this coming July. I say "hope" because the final selection of plays to be in the Festival has not been finalized. Our script is finished but still needs to go through the process of being "workshopped."
We need volunteers to help with a variety of jobs- extras in the play, dropping off and picking up, helping me with fund raising and publicity. So, "Mabel, Mabel if you're able get your elbows off the table" and call me and volunteer- please!
Right at this moment I need help in two areas: 1) to make sure our proposal to Kickstarter (a way to raise funds over the Internet) gets accepted and 2) I need an E-mail sent to a large list of names. To be perfectly honest with you I am somewhat lacking when it comes to computer skills. Unfortunately most of my job in getting this project ready for July requires computer savvy. Help!

For what unhealthy reason would you want to keep someone in your life (other than your teenagers) who doesn't listen to you? Mm!
"The Value of Acquaintances
If you want more friends in your life, stop looking for them!
Making new friends can be a real problem. I often have the
question posed to me during counselling: "How do I make new
friends now that I am in my 50s?" I generally find that these
clients have had the same difficulties in their 40s, 30s and 20s.
However, why this has been a problem throughout their life is
not my focus. It is a fact that they have this difficulty, and that's
that! What they can do to make new friends is the issue. But when
they ask me how to make friends, I tell them sheepishly, "I am not
really sure"-and I still charge the same fee!
What I do feel confident about, however, is that "the place
to start making a friend is with the decision to stop looking to
make one." It is said to be paradoxical when the harder you try,
the less you get! This paradox factor will certainly interfere with
the process of making someone a friend, so stop trying so hard
and let it happen.
If you want a relationship to work, stop being so afraid to lose it
and laugh more.
I think it is best to simply focus on an activity and have fun with
the people-acquaintances-we meet at these activities. Stop
being so serious, and stop making a concerted effort to make a lot
of friends. I believe a person is very fortunate to have one or two
really good friends in life. So stop at one or two friends and have
several acquaintances. I believe you will have a lot more fun!
Remember, if you want to develop more relationships:
Choose activities that you enjoy and hook up with like-minded people
who choose the same activities.
Is the same true for interpersonal relationships? Can paradox
be an issue? Can it be that the harder you try to make it work, the
less likely it will work? I believe that to be true.
In my line of work, and based on what I have heard from the
people I see, I would say that relationships are often a huge hassle
in people's lives. Of course, people only come to see me when
they have relationship problems, so I may be biased! However, in
general, it seems to me that acquaintances make more sense and
can be a lot more fun.
Despite what I say or what makes sense, the human animal
will always keep trying to connect with others and make their
special relationships work-sometimes at great personal cost.
When we are in a relationship, change often occurs and we
become needier. The lower the person's self esteem, the greater the
fear of losing what they have in the relationship. We are desperate
to make the relationship work. We become controlling. We are
less relaxed and more serious and we end up having less fun.
The experience provides almost the total opposite of what drew us
into the relationship in the first place.
This concept was taken from Dan's first book, Finding Balance. For more information about this book and his yet to be released book, Communication & Relationships click this link www.drcounselling.com and check under Site Navigation.
Cayman Island Report (my second home-I wish)
The Kimpton
The headline read, "Kimpton opens amid fanfare." The newly built, ultra chic hotel on the Grand Cayman Island opened for guests on Tuesday, November 15. The 266 room hotel has been four years in the making, with more than "900 people" working on the construction project. One of those people was our son Brad. He is a finishing carpenter and did just that, finished several parts of the new monolithic structure.
On a small island by Grand Cayman the impact of a "300 million project" on the economy is quite significant. Apparently, the opening of the hotel means an "8 per cent boost in Caymans room availability." That means more jobs at the airport, more taxis, or tour buses, more jobs in the restaurant and dive industry, and all things having to do with tourism.
At this point I have only seen the Kimpton from the road- it is formidable!
Males, repeat after me: "I will stop fixing (problem solving) things in my partner's life. Instead I will work on showing her more understanding and compassion." (from Communication & Relationships, Dr. Dan Rosin).
Are you are less healthy than you want to be? Are you tired of spending too much of your time thinking about what's wrong with you or your life? Are you spending a lot of money on prescription drugs and medicine and wondering whether there aren't alternatives to our medical system? If you are sick of being marginally well you just may be ready for high level wellness. There are many paths which will lead you there. What's important is that you select the route that fits for you. Because you have particular needs preferences and priorities and because your success is strongly affected by your level of commitment, it is vital that you call the shots. Here are some guide-lines that may be helpful to you:
1.You are in charge of your own well-being. You carry the key to your physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual health. Take the counsel and assistance of others into account since this can make it easier for you but in the final analysis your wellness or worseness is your responsibility.
2. Forget about magic or instant solutions. Many of the diseases in our civilization are the result of destructive lifestyles. Even though medicine has made tremendous advancements in the last decades we are still better off depending on ourselves to develop and maintain healthy lifestyles than to depend on medical cures for illness.
3. Your body is the world's greatest healer. As marvellous as our body is, the effects of abuse, neglect and misuse over years will take it's toll. Develop an understanding and appreciation of your body and the natural laws of healing. Establish lifestyle patterns which support nature's healing process and avoid anything that blocks it.
4.Neither Rome nor a Wellness Lifestyle can be built in a day. It is easier to eat junk food, ignore exercise, and take pills to cover-up tension headaches than it is to deliberately establish a lifestyle which incorporates healthy alternatives. It takes time to discover the many ways in which we hurt ourselves and then to experiment with new behaviours which promote health in all aspects of our being. It takes dedication, perseverance and patience. It takes time to develop new habits.
5. High level wellness is more rewarding than high level worseness. Feeling vital, alive and healthy is simply more fun that being sick and feeling depressed. It is a richer way to live and offers less pain, more highs and fewer lows. Get positively addicted to high level wellness.

Reader Response
I am green with envy Dan, when I hear about all your trips to the
islands. I can just imagine being hit with hot air! I Am still stuck caring
for two elderly parents, aged 95 and 97 who want to stay in their own
home. It wouldn't be a bad thing, since they are independent, but
they are also stubborn and anxious, so don't let me
go too far away from them. In one way, it is a privilege to still have
parents around, and in another way it is a burden. Likely most of your
readers are past this care-giving stage, but if not, it would make a
good topic to open up in your newsletter.
Enjoy the sun, you lucky ducky! Merika.
Your right Merika, care-giving would make a good topic for the
Newsletter. I'll see what I can do.
George Carlin sez...
"I was thinking about how people seem to read the bible a whole lot more as
they get older. Then it dawned on me...they're cramming for their final exam."
Selye And Stress
As I understand it, Hans Selye originally claimed or rather I should say borrowed the term "stress" from the engineering and architectural world- something about stresses and strains on building structures. He went on to redefine what stress was and its effect on the human structure.
For me, controlling one's stressors is about finding balance in one's life. That is, balance between work and play, exercise and rest, laughter and serious interaction. If you get this balance right, you feel alive with little distress.
Eustress is the good kind of stress that keeps us feeling excited, vital, and feeling alive. It is a positive euphoria. It keeps us healthy and feeling glad we are alive. It is the counter-balance to the unhealthy stressors in our lives. Eustress comes from our perception of exciting activities in life such as golf, scuba diving, learning new things, theatre, and just about any situation where we are having fun and enjoying ourselves. Eustress can also include work challenges and for that matter, any situation where we push ourselves and are successful.
Distress or negative stress is mostly of the chronic variety where we perceive the environment to be unpleasant or there is conflict-- where the environment is perceived to be constant, inescapable, or excessively negative. When one perceives a situation, environment, or person to be a distressor, their physical and spirit health can be greatly affected.
Neustress is a term I have heard used to mean neutral, one's perception is neither positive nor negative about the situation.
After spending 3 1/2 hours enduring the long lines, surly clerks and inane regulations at the department of motor vehicles, I stopped at a toy store pickup a gift for my son. I took my selection-a baseball bat-to the cash register.
"Cash or charge?" The clerk asked.
"Cash," I snapped. Then, apologizing for my rudeness, I explained," I've just spent the afternoon at the motor-vehicle Bureau."
"Shall I gift-wrap the bat," the clerk asked sweetly. "Or are you going back there?"
Have a great week!
If you have a few hours a week to volunteer-let me know.

The truth of the fact is that wholesaling homes is a way of investing that lays the foundation for within a short span of time you could be making good money.
If you are thinking about real estate investing you should also consider wholesaling homes because it is a great business that does not and youve done a few deals, youre ready to advance to level II.

Gerard Troost
Gerard Troost, early American mineral collector and one of the founders of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, was born in Bois-le-Duc, Netherlands, on March 5, 1776, the son of Anna Cornelia Van Heeck and Everhard Joseph Troost. He attended the universities of Leyden and Amsterdam, studying toward his medical degree but specializing in chemistry, geology and natural history. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree at Leyden, and also earned a Master's degree in pharmacy from the University of Amsterdam in 1801. He practiced medicine for a short time in Amsterdam and The Hague, then joined the Army, serving at first as a private soldier and later as an officer in the Medical Corp, during which time he was wounded in combat (in the thigh and head).
In 1807 Troost traveled to Paris to pursue his studies, under the patronage of the King of Holland, and became the student and associate of the Abbé René Jusy Haüy, the founder of modern crystallography and one of the most respected savants in France. Eventually he left Paris, armed with a new and deeper understanding of mineralogy, and traveled through France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland building up an excellent and valuable collection of minerals which he ultimately sold to his patron, Louis Napolen, King of Holland.
In 1809 Louis Napoleon sent Troost on a naval expedition to Java, as part of a scientific team, but he was captured by an English privateer and spent some time in confinement before returning to France. He then boarded an American ship in La Rochelle, with the intent of traveling to the East Indies via New York under American protection; unfortunately he was captured by a French privateer and held prisoner for a while before being returned once again to Paris. In 1810 he was elected a correspondent of the Natural History Museum in Paris and was allowed to embark once again on an American vessel headed for Philadelphia. The abdication of Louis Napoleon and the surrender of Java to the British decided him to remain in America thereafter.
Troost married Margaret Tage in Philadelphia in 1811, and together they had two children before Margaret died in 1819; Troost then married again, to Mary O'Riley, a widowed moher of two who proved to be a great help to him in his scientific work.
In 1812 Troost participated with five other men in the founding of the Academy of Natural Science in Philadelphia (for "gentlemen and friends of science") and became its firt presidentan office he held for the next five years. The Academy was established strictly for the "cultivation of natural science," and any discussion of religion or politics was strictly forbidden. The members agreed to "contribut to the formation of a museum of natural history"; Troost was among the first to donate mineral specimens to the new institution, and delivered a course of lectures on mineralogy for Academy members.
Around 1816 Troost established the first alum works in the United States, but it lost money for him. In 1821 he was appointed Professor of Mineralogy at the Philadelphia Museum, where he delivered lectures on the subject. He also made regular field trips to collect specimens in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. In 1828 he was elected Professor of Chemistry, Geology and Mineralogy at the University of Nashville, a post he held until his death 22 years later. In 1831 he was also appointed State Geologist of Tennessee. He also established the Nashville Museum of Natural History, apparently as a place to display his vast personal collections. Charles Upham Shepard name the mineral
in his honor in 1832, but it was later discredited as a variety of willemite.
J. Berriend Lindsley, one of his students, wrote that Troost lived very frugally and sent large sums of money to Europe for the purchase of mineral specimen. He dealt regularly with Henry Heuland in London and August Krantz in Bonn, and purchased a collection from Baron von Turk in Potsdam for $1600. Troost also assembled a personal library of over 7,000 volumes.
Troost died in Nashville, Tennessee of cholera on August 14, 1850. In 1874 his collection of 14,000 mineral specimens, 5,000 rocks and a large number of shells and Indian artifacts was sold by his heirs to the Louisville, Kentucky Public Library for $20,000. Much of it survives today in the Louisville Science Center, although the Center has no Collections Department staff to curate or care for it.
Troost was much respected and honored in his time, for his scientific work, for his teaching, and for his "unaffected modesty, kindness and uniform courtesy toward all men."

When two sisters and two sisters get together in a cabin with their husbands and kiddos it's a recipe for good food and fun times! We looked forward to this trip for months. It just happened to be smack in the middle of a busy few weeks and for a bit we weren't sure how we would juggle so many different things….but it ended up being the perfect breather that we needed. Sometimes it's just good to get away and relax a while. Enjoying God's beautiful creation both in scenery and friends! We feel richly blessed.
The guys hit the slopes while we women drank coffee and tea and indulged on THM desserts that were delightful to the tastebuds. We gave our jaws a good work out if nothing else 'cause we were either eating or talking constantly. =) Or both simultaneously.
My favorites. I love spending everyday with these two!
This guy is a character! And so hilarious to watch. He could be good someday. He was constantly learning new tricks to show us.
These beautiful girls were daring and brave, making skiing look like such a natural thing. They had such fun together and I heard lots of laughter coming from their bunk room!
This is the man power right here! Brothers at heart? Looks like it to me.
Sadly, I never did get a shot of the 3 pretty ladies I was with or the rustic cabin tucked in the woods. I guess we were busy holding babies, feeding hungry children, and taking video clips of our men all while soaking up the precious moments of life together. Just take my word for it, they are pretty ladies. =)
It was the perfect way to say Goodbye to winter and boots and now I am ready to usher-in Spring. Saying Hello to picnics and flip-flops and sun.
Anyway, on to the salad. Charlene made this delicious Asian Cabbage Salad that was too perfect not to share. If I tried to mention all the other amazing dishes she made for us the list would be too long and it might make you really hungry, I'll just say that it involved steak. You can dream on from there.
The dressing is full of flavor and I love the crunch of the cashews!
I'll be making this often.
Asian Cabbage Salad {THM}
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp ginger
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame seed oil
1/4 cup white vinager
2 tbsp gentle sweet
In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients. Set aside until just before serving.
Small head cabbage,shredded (I mix purple and white)
1/4 cup cilantro
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 TB black and white sesame seeds
1/2 cup cashews
Combine cabbage, cilantro, onions, sesame seeds, and cashews in bowl. Just before serving, toss with prepared dressing. Serve immediately!

I tried CrossFit for the first time before moving to Austin, just over a year ago. I decided it was something I wanted to look into once I got settled in my new city. After dropping into a "Burgers and Barbells" workout at Hopdoddy I met Coach Jeremy Thiel and a couple others at the gym and that pretty much was all it took to convince me that I wanted to be at CrossFit Central.
Before CrossFit, I had never worked out with weights. I was a competitive gymnast for ten years. I started when I was four year old and began competing at age six. I then switched to school sports and then focused in on sprints/mid distance through high school. I have only ever trained and conditioned using bodyweight. Even though that has been incredibly beneficial in my CrossFit journey, I have really seen growth in movements using the barbell and lifting weights. Some lifts that were so difficult for me in the beginning are becoming easier to understand and feel, and it makes progress more tangible.
Prior to joining CrossFit Central, I would fill my schedule to the brim and stay in an anxious state, almost continuously. I led a decently active life. I would run and do some sports socially, but I didn't have a consistent workout regimen or community. Wrestling with an anxious spirit my whole life, CrossFit was something that really intimidated me in the beginning, and still does when as I approach new aspects of the sport like competition. It has given me a physical outlet to combat my anxious tendencies as well as allowed me a "win" regarding something that was sort of scary in the beginning. It has helped me slowly work on shifting and chipping away at thought patterns that say something I don't know how to do, or have never done before, is unattainable or too difficult. It has created an incredibly empowering mindset. I am someone who does very well with physical and tangible goals. I now feel like I can understand completing and having victory over a physical task, versus feeling anxious and like I don't have control. CrossFit intertwines those two things in a lot of areas. It forces me to come up against hard situations that are not only physical, but also mental.
Being a small business owner, the thought of everything I have to do in order to run and grow a business can quickly become overwhelming in the same way that achieving fitness goals can be. CrossFit has broken down living a fit life into a very tangible and attainable way. I choose to show up daily and do exactly what is in front of me THAT day. I don't imagine I can jump to where I want to be overnight. I take one step at a time and then when I get there, I take one more step and continue that pattern until I am able to look back and see that I've actually come an incredibly long way from where I have started. It has allowed me to put life in perspective in the same way.
The CrossFit Central community has been so instrumental in my relationships since moving to Austin. It is crazy moving from a place where you feel like you know everyone, to somewhere that you literally know no one. Honestly I feel like some of my very first friends in the city were made in the gym. It's helped tremendously during a transition and season that had the potential to be very lonely.

Crowds gather to hear President Wilson's reply to Germany's invasion of America's rights
Short Summary
Washington DC, United States of America
Crowds in America wait for response to German submarine warfare / Wilson speaking. This is within the month before the USA actually declared war on Germany.
[Original title frame (not seen here) read: "Crowds gather about the capitol awaiting President Wilson's reply to Germany's invasion of America's rights."]
Shot of crowd in Washington; DC doing just that - pan to left showing a lot of men outside capitol. Cars speeding past people and into an arched entry in the building.
Flash frame intertitle of Wilson's words, backwards: "I request that you authorise me to supply our merchant ships with defensive arms to protect our ships and our people."
CU American President Woodrow Wilson speaking; bookcase in BG. As he speaks an American flag begins to appear superimposed on the screen; then Wilson's face fades and the flag is shown alone; fluttering in wind. Dramatic special effects!
Speech; patriotism; U-boats; unrestricted submarine warfare. World War One; world leaders.

Hi everyone!
My name is Patrick Mitchell, and this is my 29th Kickstarter campaign! I'd like to introduce you to the The NRF24L01+ Arduino Wireless Transceiver Shield! PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DON'T SEE A REWARD TIER THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS, CONTACT ME, AND I'LL ADD IT! =D
This shield is the centrepiece of this campaign. One hub shield can easily communicate with up to 64 other shields in the area by assigning slave addresses using the on-board 6-selector DIP switch. The range is excellent, and you can even replace your NRF24L01+ with an NRF24L01+PA/LNA module. More on this later. The shield, however, is not the only piece of hardware that you'll be able to pledge towards. We also have designed NRF24L01+ relay boards that have the ability to control four AC or DC devices each, and also have the capability to control an electromagnetic lock! On top of that, we have multi-button transceiver boards and motion sensing transceiver boards. All of which can work together, and all of which will be provided with code samples!
So let's talk more about the hardware, shall we?
The Shield:
The shield has two momentary push buttons, an LED, and a slot for an NRF24L01+. Each shield pledged to will come complete with the NRF module (Obviously). You can use this shield to communicate with other nearby Arduinos, control the optional relay board, receive button data from one of the multi-button boards, or receive a notification of movement from one of the PIR motion sensing transceiver boards. Create your own code, use the provided code samples, or modify the provided code samples to suit your circuit application!
The Relay Board:
This board houses four relays which can be used to control high power AC or DC devices wirelessly. There's even an option that allows for you to control an electromagnetic lock! It also has a 6-selector DIP switch that allows for you to create your own address. The shield or multi-button board can control up to 64 relay boards! The relay board has three program options as well. You can choose to latch a specific relay when a signal is received, or you can have a specific relay turn on for two seconds, then automatically turn off after two seconds, OR you can have a specific relay turn on for 100ms, and then automatically turn off. You can select between these options by making a selection on the secondary 2-selector program DIP switch. A video manual will be provided! The on-board chip is an ATMEGA328P, so you can use your Arduino UNO to make changes to the software as you see fit. Here is this bad boy with an electromagnetic lock attached!
The Multi-Button Control Board:
You can use this board to either transmit or receive. It can be used to speak with up to 32 other multi-button boards. There are eight buttons on this board, but only buttons 1 through 7 are implemented in software. The 6-selector DIP switch allows for you to create your own address, and also acts to select whether or not you're in transmitter or receiver modes. You can use the buttons to transmit, or you can use the pins on the pin rail to send data with an external arduino. To top that, when in receiver the pins on the pin rail act as outputs, so that you can send received data an external project! A video manual will also be provided.The on-board chip is an ATMEGA328P, so you can use your Arduino UNO to make changes to the software as you see fit.
The PIR Motion Sensor Board:
These boards are neat. You create the board address using the on-board DIP switch, and that address will act as a room number. Up to 64 different rooms (boards) can communicate with the shield. Using the shield, and the Arduino UI, you can use the serial monitor to tell you when motion is detected in a specific room, or number of specific rooms. If I have board address "5" in the kitchen, and motion is detected, the serial monitor on your computer (connected to a shield) will say "Motion detected in room#5". Use the supplied code samples, or create your own! The on-board chip is an ATMEGA328P, so you can use your Arduino UNO to make changes to the software as you see fit.
Sample Code & Video Manuals:
I'm a big fan of video manuals. Each of these modules are easy to use from a hardware standpoint. With the commented code samples that I'll be providing, you'll easily be able to get started right away. From there, you can edit the code as you see fit. Each board will see its own video manual published by the end of this campaign. Code samples will all be provided by the time rewards are shipped. ALL accumulated project information will be added here through out the campaign: NRF Shield Project Page!
Production Schedule:
Two weeks after this campaign begins, I will have enough information to forecast the number of components, assemblies, circuit boards, electromagnetic locks, and power supplies that will need to be ordered.
Three weeks into this campaign, as long as the goal has been reached, all hardware orders will be submitted and paid for. I will also be starting the video manuals at this time. Once each video is completed, they will be uploaded to youtube, and the links will be published to the campaign, so that pledges will have early access to them. If the goal is not met by the third week, then (Goal-hit pending) the hardware orders will be submitted by the fourth week, or by the end of the campaign.
Assuming that things go well, then I should have all of the hardware in-house either just before Christmas day, or just after. All rewards will be shipped by the end of January 2019. All video manuals and code samples will be provided prior to rewards are shipped.
Why Kickstarter?
Thanks to Kickstarter, and the wonderful Kickstarter community, I've been able to bring so many of my designs to life. The funds from this project will allow for me to do just that. I will continue to think of fun electronic devices to bring to the market for as long as this community allows for me to do so. If I've earned your pledged, then you have my promise that I will work diligently so that your quality reward will be shipped on time and in good order!
Thanks again for taking an interest in my 29th campaign!
Patrick Mitchell
Risks and challenges
No real risks, aside from the potential of a short shipping delay - although no such shipping delays have occurred in any of my past successful campaigns. I have solid, and long lasting relationships with my hardware manufacturer and PCB fabricator. I have many reliable sources for the components and accessories required for filling reward shipments. If for any reason you have any questions or concerns at any time, you can send me a PM, and I'll get back to your promptly!

Polskie Smaki restaurant, Kraków – image © Archway Andres
You can't really go wrong with this traditional budget restaurant on ul. Sw. Tomasza in the Old Town. Polskie Smaki has a canteen feel and serves all the stars of Polish eating: pork knuckle, bigos, zurek soup, and dumplings. There are few frills here but the staff is welcoming and it's a fantastic way to get to know the local cooking.

Austin Farrer's The Glass of Vision With Critical Commentary
Austin Farrer's The Glass of Vision With Critical Commentary
Get Citation
This book offers a critical edition of arguably the greatest work of English theology in the 20th century: Austin Farrer's Bampton Lectures published as The Glass of Vision in 1948. Farrer was an interdisciplinary genius who made original contributions to philosophy, theology, and biblical studies, as well as to our understanding of the role of imagination in human thought and Christian doctrine. According to Farrer, the three primary themes of these lectures are 'scripture, metaphysics, and poetry,' individually and in relation to each other. The lectures defend his famous theory of divine revelation through images rather than propositions or events, a provocative account of the place of metaphysical reasoning in theology, and a literary approach to the Biblical text that was decades ahead of its time and is still controversial. The Glass of Vision has generated a rich and interesting interdisciplinary conversation that has lasted for decades, starting with commentators such as Helen Gardner and Frank Kermode. In addition to Farrer's full text, this critical edition also contains an introduction to the significance and context of Farrer's thought, and a selection of thirty-years' worth of commentary by leading British and European theologians and literary scholars: David Brown, Ingolf Dalferth, Hans Haugh, Douglas Hedley, David Jasper, and Gerard Loughlin. Of interest to literary and biblical scholars, theologians, and philosophers, this book holds particular value for those exploring the nature of imagination in contemporary thought and scholarship.

Since its release in 2012, fans of action film Dredd have been petitioning and campaigning online for a Dredd 2. After the movie underperformed at the box office, Dredd's future outside of comic books had once again become uncertain. Yesterday, fans' wishes were finally answered in an unexpected manner with the announcement that a TV series on the legendary street judge was in the works, titled Judge Dredd: Mega-City One.
While not quite a Dredd 2, the production is still an exciting prospect because it's live-action Judge Dredd in a medium far more suited to the Judge's world and misadventures. Not to knock Dredd by any means, that film realized the Judge and Mega-City One in a way that was previously unheard of and did it in a way that made both comic and non-comic fans happy (the ones that showed up, anyway). It's just that capturing and distilling what Dredd is and the intensity of his universe in two hours is an impossible task in which certain aspects must be sacrificed for the good of a snappy, action-driven narrative. TV doesn't hold such restrictions.
In the weekly 2000 AD progs that feature Dredd every issue, the Judge's stories are procedural investigations, each week's pages adding a new twist to a running case. Contrasting with the likes of Marvel and DC, since his debut in Prog #2 40 years ago, all of Dredd's tales form a real-time canon. For the last four decades, readers have been watching Dredd's career as an infamously skilled futuristic street cop unfold, exploring Mega-City One's over-populated, gluttonous, mega-corporate dystopia through his eyes as the greatest lawman of them all. And with that comes intense, long-form running commentary on the nature of justice, law and order, and the price of heroism when it starts being doled out by infallible men and women who're at once judge, jury, and executioner.
A television series can inherently go deeper and provide that nuance. Some of the most popular TV shows of all-time are so highly lauded because it used the format to tell morally gray narratives. Tony Soprano, Walter White, Donald Draper: leading characters audiences were enamored with because they got to know these individuals - who are reprehensible when seen in snapshot - in deep, meaningful ways. If you liked or supported their actions or who they were from season to season, you had a lot of time along the way to develop that conclusion.
Dredd isn't just a character that would benefit from that kind of time, he relies on it. His mission is to protect Mega-City One. He's been purpose trained and conditioned for that one task and his life revolves around it. But that doesn't always make him the good guy because Mega-City One is far from an idealistic future, with gross overpopulation, a mostly automated industry, and a fascist class system overwrought with bureaucracy. Crime is rampant with an unceasing underbelly of drug misuse and societal resentment. It's not a nice place to live, and it's all kept from outright anarchy by the street judges - of which Dredd is among the most highly respected - who punish and prosecute as they see fit in line with the extensive legal scripture they're bound to.
Dredd protects his city, and he does it well, much of his job fighting robots going out of control or evil forces from another dimension or, as in the legendary Apocalypse War, being a one man mission to stop Russia from taking over the world. Sometimes, though, Dredd protects his city from the kinds of things that make other heroes heroic. Like in America, the seminal arc from 1990 in which Dredd ultimately quashes an attempt at a democratic uprising that wants to overthrow Mega-City One's fascist regime. It's a tale that places the Judge directly in the role of antagonist and has him act no different to how one would normally read him, we just see it from the other side.
A film would struggle with that dissonance, but a TV show can more adequately portray the different philosophical underpinnings that such storytelling entails. It can dedicate hours to discussing the rights and wrongs, whether justice is worth freedom or if freedom is truly something feasible under the spinning wheels of capitalism. A TV series doesn't need Dredd to be its hero for him to be its icon and protagonist, it can present him with complication, not compromising on how he's a commentary on the American standard comic book hero as much as a comic book hero himself.
According to Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley, production of Judge Dredd: Mega-City One is a while away with casting and most major production positions still to be filled. So it remains to be seen if Karl Urban, who played Dredd in the 2012 film, will return to the role, or at all. Either way, this isn't going to be the Dredd 2 fans had always envisioned, hanging at the cineplexes with Iron Man or Batman. But what it will be is something that has a better chance of sharing the Judge with the wider world in a way that does him and his city more justice than a two-hour action romp with easy heroes and uncomplicated villains.

Sometimes it's easy to think that healthy hair either means spending a lot of money or devoting a lot of time to your hair care routine. It's easy to ask which of these two things will really get you the look you're going for. But the answer to this question is that it does not! Many methods exist that can help you to get the look you're looking for with minimal time and minimal expense. Read the following article to learn how to achieve this goal.
If your body is healthy, your hair will be healthy too. Your hair will respond to the healthy food you eat and the water you drink to nourish it from the inside. If you want your hair to be as strong and healthy as possible, make sure that your diet includes the essentials, such as lean protein, vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beneficial fats.
To maintain healthy and damage free hair, try not to brush when it's still wet. Hair is much more likely to break when it is wet than when it is dry. To reduce this damage, brush your hair while it is dry, either before your shower or after it drys again.
If you are plagued by hair problems, your diet might be the source of these issues. Eating a lot of Omega-3 acids, Vitamin E and various other nutrients is crucial to healthy hair. If it becomes difficult to get all these nutrients, consider taking a multivitamin as a supplement to your diet.
Shower Cap
Is your hair looking a little dull and dry? If so, then try this at-home conditioning treatment on your locks. After shampooing your hair as normal, wring out the excess water, apply the conditioner of your choice, and cover your hair with a shower cap until the conditioner has a chance to absorb – usually five to ten minutes. The conditioner will penetrate the hair shaft as the heat from your scalp builds up under the shower cap.
If you like your hair to look the way it looks after a swim in the ocean, you can get products that replicate salty ocean effects. Shop for hair products that say "salt spray". Try putting together a teaspoon of salt and one cup of water for your own mixture. Then, add about 10 lavender oil drops and you now have the mix that you need.
You should not ever tug or rub your hair using a towel when you are drying your hair. Your hair strands are likely to stretch and break and it will dry frizzy. Instead of this, you should gently squeeze, blot or pat any additional moisture off your hair, or you could loosely wrap it into a towel. For best results, avoid using a brush on wet hair. Wide-toothed combs are your best bet for removing tangles in this state.
Overuse of blow dryers, curling irons and straighteners can damage hair. Protect your hair by using a styling product before using heated hair appliances. These products help prevent your hair from getting damaged from the heat.
Whenever you condition, make sure that you work the conditioner evenly through all of your hair. To get the full benefits of conditioning, let your hair absorb the conditioner before rinsing it out.
During the fall and winter, make sure that you avoid staying out in the cold for too long. Cold weather can dry your hair and reduce the oils and nutrients that are essential for proper health. Therefore, you should always cover your hair if you intend to spend time outdoors for prolonged periods.
That's all there is to it! By altering a couple of things, and attempting some new hairdressing methods, your hair will look the best it ever has. The more time you spend with your hair, the more you will like the way it looks, although you do not have to break your budget to do so.

Reigning in Grace (Day Is At Hand #2)/ /Get the Sermons Automatically
We're friends with the God who's building a kingdom and declaring war on death itself—let's live like it.
Main Text: Romans 5:12-21
Simple outline:
- We're in an 8 week series in Romans 5-8, dedicated to the implications Jesus' work ought to have in our lives, now that "the night is far gone and the day is at hand" as Romans 13:12 tells us.
- Verse 12: Paul starts a comparison between sin (and grace) that won't be completed until verse 18. First he needs to clarify that grace and sin aren't really the same at all.
- Verses 13-17: Sin and grace are nothing alike. One brings death and condemnation. The other brings life and righteousness.
- Verses 18-21: But sin and grace are alike in that they each came through the work of one person and will spread to all of humanity. Just like sin, death, and condemnation have spread to all of humanity, so will grace, righteousness, and life.
- All of this raises the question: if Jesus' kingdom of grace, righteousness, and life is at hand, how will we respond to it? We're friends with the God who's building a kingdom and declaring war on death itself—so how will we live?

Althea Flynt
Flynt in 1979
Althea Leasure
November 6, 1953
|June 27, 1987 (aged 33)
Los Angeles, California, U.S.
|Cause of death
|Accidental drowning
|Resting place
|Flynt family plot, Salyersville, Kentucky, U.S.
|Magazine publisher
Larry Flynt (m. 1976–1987)
Althea Flynt (née Leasure; November 6, 1953 - June 27, 1987) was the fourth wife of Larry Flynt and the co-publisher of Flynt's pornography magazine, Hustler.
Althea Leasure was born November 6, 1953, in Marietta, Ohio. Althea and her four siblings, Sherry, Debbie, Marsha and Richard, came from an abusive home. When Althea was eight, her father Richard shot and killed her mother, June, her grandfather, and June's best friend, before fatally shooting himself.[1] Althea's grandmother was present during the incident, but survived by hiding in the nearby creek.
Althea and three of her siblings were later put into the OSSO Home (Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphanage) in Xenia, Ohio, which she ran away from many times because she was very unhappy after being sexually molested when sent to possible adoptor's homes.
She met Larry Flynt at age 17 in 1971, when she applied for a job as a go-go dancer at his Hustler club in Columbus, Ohio. They were married on August 21, 1976. She was Hustler's first life-size centerfold, and as Publisher/Editor was involved with the development, management and publication of the magazine until her untimely death; she ran the magazine and kept it afloat during Larry's "born again" experience brought on by a psychotic bi-polar manic episode in 1977; subsequent near-fatal shooting in Georgia; multiple bouts with bi-polar disorder which also led to his campaign for President of the United States in 1984.[2]
In the mid-1980s, Althea planned a new non-pornographic magazine called The Rage, to focus on the punk subculture. The Rage was ultimately abandoned due to the expense of Flynt's 1984 presidential run.[2]
In 1982 Althea began using the drugs that Larry was prescribed for pain after he was shot in 1978, and developed an addiction. She was diagnosed with AIDS in 1983; Flynt stated that she contracted the disease from a blood transfusion during a hysterectomy, and that she always used clean needles when using drugs.[]
Althea died at age 33 when she drowned in the bathtub at the couple's Bel-Air mansion in Los Angeles on June 27, 1987. According to reports, she passed out from a prescription drug overdose and drowned.[3] Her husband, however, states that at the time she was in the advanced stages of AIDS and would have died within that year, regardless. At that point he was taking care of her and claims that she was practically bedridden.[4]
Althea Flynt is buried in the Flynt family cemetery plot, located on Lakeville in Salyersville, Kentucky.[4]
In the 1996 movie The People vs. Larry Flynt she was portrayed by Courtney Love, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance.[5]

This historic Sacramento theater will get an $11 million facelift
Sacramento's historic Memorial Auditorium is about to get another run in the spotlight.
The City Council on Tuesday approved an $11 million renovation of the theater so it can host Broadway plays, ballet performances and other events while the Community Center Theater undergoes its own remodeling.
Work at Memorial Auditorium, which seats 3,850, will start next month, after the high school graduation season, and will finish next May. The plans call for temporary bathrooms outside the building and a covered loading dock. Inside, the auditorium will get enhanced acoustics, lighting and seating.
Councilman Steve Hansen, who represents the central city, said the renovation would again make the auditorium "a great place for music and art."
"By investing in Memorial Auditorium's sound, lighting and bathrooms, we are not only ensuring it'll be able to host Broadway, the ballet and the philharmonic, but that we will return the building to its former glory when The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys played there," Hansen said.
The stately building at 15th and J streets opened in February 1927 and is listed on the National Historic Register. It closed in 1986 due to concerns about its earthquake safety and reopened a decade later after a renovation.
The auditorium has a long — and colorful — history. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was electrocuted during a show there in 1965. Thousands of Sacramento high school students have walked the stage at graduations, and artists like the Doobie Brothers, the Moody Blues, Duran Duran and Melissa Etheridge have performed at the theater.
The renovation of the Community Center Theater is scheduled to begin early next year. The City Council is expected to hear an update on that project next month and could approve its financing this fall.

Blanc et Noir blazer | Oxygen tank | Jeans and Necklace from Divi | Payless sandals | Parisian bag | US Polo watch
Here's a closer look at the outfit I wore last Thursday. It was my first day of class, but I also spent the afternoon at MAFBEX, so I wanted to be in something polished but still school-friendly.
This is my first pair of pants in this color. I wanted to go white but I chickened out and opted for a bleached out one. So far I love it. It feels cleaner somehow. I decided to wear it with my usual black and grey standbys. And these brown sandals because they seemed to go with the casualness of the jeans' color.
Actually the whole look was very casual. Yung blazer lang nagpa-porma.
Also, I wanted one of my new statement necklaces to stand out 🙂

This video has been shown at internal Microsoft events a few times. It always draws a great response from the audience, followed by internal email aliases flooded for days with requests for a link or high bandwidth version. I finally found it on MSN Soapbox and YouTube (thanks to whoever posted it there). It shows a whole bunch of Microsoft consumer technologies working together in this average guy's "digital lifestyle". Most Microsoft products featured in this video, including Windows Mobile, Zune, XBOX 360, and Windows Media Center fall under the Entertainment & Devices (E&D) division, arguably the best division to work at within Microsoft (biased personal opinion). Come work here!
The soundtrack in this video is very catchy too, and I've seen just as many requests from people asking about the song and band. The song is called "Girl From Mars", and it is covered by a band named Magneta Lane. I'm not sure but they might have done some private/promotional work for Microsoft because I can't find the track associated with Magneta Lane anywhere else. The original song was released in 1995 by a band named Ash from their album named "1977". Watch the original Ash version on YouTube or check out the Wikipedia entry if you like the song.

cvs weekly ad scan Make the most of after sales- Yet another way to get immediate savings is to shop after a holiday or after a seasonal sale. If you are stocking up for next year or catching a loaf of bread just in time before it goes dull, you are able to save money on the stuff you intend to get anyway by shopping after sales.
Use shopping programs to score the best deal- SmartPhones have gained their titles by giving us several intelligent and of good use applications. Mobile phone programs like PriceGrabber and Customer Studies or bar rule programs permit you to take a look at an offer when you are shopping and compare it to the prices of different stores. You can check the bar rules of food and goods, electronics and more and compare them to rates online.
Use in-store savings and get in mass options- Ultimately, yet another way to save is by using the in-store savings that previously occur such as by buying things together, applying on the field coupons and by buying in bulk. Purchasing mass can help you save a bundle, particularly on items that you understand you are going to need more of ultimately, such as bathroom paper.

It's safe to say that Android TV was met with good responses and praise since its announcement at Google I/O this year, and all the more reason why many of us can't wait for the devices to become available. While we still have a little bit of time to wait before Google's new Android powered set top boxes hit store shelves, it seems that we may have stumbled onto some benchmark data that points to one of the manufacturers that Google could be working with for the manufacturing of at least one Android TV box.
According to these results that popped up on GFXBench it seems that ASUS will be one of the OEMs to produce an Android TV box, of which there will be a handful of other options. Google states that they will be working with a selection of different OEMs to bring Android TV set top boxes and TV's to market. The GFXBench listing results show us the ASUS device is called the ASUS Nexus Player, although at this point in time we don't know if that is exactly what it will be called when it launches, furthermore you should take its existence and the name with a tiny grain of salt for now, although Google has also named ASUS as one of the first forthcoming OEMs with an Android TV box coming, so there's a good chance what we're looking at is the real deal.
When it comes to the specs, it looks like the ASUS Nexus player will be running Android L, so with that being said we can probably expect this device to launch either alongside the new Nexus tablet and new rumored Nexus phone, or sometime shortly after as we're expecting Android L to release with the launch of those devices. It's also running an Intel quad-core CPU, and the graphics are powered by an Imagination Technologies PowerVR Rogue G6430 GPU. Basically we shouldn't expect this device to be a slouch when it comes to the graphics or performance end of things, although real world results are still unknown so even though it looks and sounds good on paper, things will have to be tested before any judgement can be made. With Android TV having a strong focus on gaming, we're hopeful that ASUS and Intel are pulling out all the stops here. It's also listed as having 5.8GB of internal storage although that is probably the available amount after software and such, so the device itself probably sits at 8GB. It also comes with 1GB of RAM, which is something we were hoping to see more of, but perhaps it'll do just fine with that amount. If this device hits in the next month or two, will you be picking one up?

Through a partnership between St. Vincent Charity Medical Center and Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland, sophomore students have the opportunity to observe Catholic health care in action and gain real-world experience as volunteer caregivers.
In September 2013, St. Vincent Charity and the Jesuit high school partnered to create a new opportunity for the Saint Ignatius Sophomore Service program.
"Father (William) Murphy (president of Saint Ignatius) and I felt very strongly that our missions were in alignment and provided a unique opportunity for partnership," said David F. Perse, M.D. president and CEO of St. Vincent Charity Medical Center.
Sophomore service is a required theology class at Saint Ignatius. Students serve at a nonprofit agency once a week in a three-hour block of time during the school day. Additionally, they spend one class a week in seminar reflecting on the meaning of service. Inherent in the formation of every Saint Ignatius student is an emphasis on faith in the service of justice.
"With our shared Catholic values and mission to serve our community and the greater world, the relationship between our two organizations fits," said Father Murphy. "Further, like St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, Saint Ignatius High School is deeply rooted in the City of Cleveland. We have a commitment to our neighborhood."
Matt Avdey, Lewis Hurt and Anthony Ramirez were three of the five students placed at St. Vincent Charity during the fall semester of 2013. Working closely with Sister Mary Ann Mozser, then vice president of mission and ministry at St. Vincent Charity, the students were given a volunteer schedule that allowed them to explore various areas of the hospital—inpatient units, admitting, Rosary Hall, behavioral health units, surgery and the emergency department. While rounding on the patient floors, the students were welcomed as friendly faces and listening ears for the patients.
"My favorite part of the service program was when we got to volunteer on the gero-psychiatry unit," said Ramirez. "We were able to help the patients with their art therapy and really got to know them. I think it was rewarding for us and for the patients as well."
"Giving our students the opportunity to serve at a faith-based hospital, where they can experience firsthand the healing ministry of Christ, has had a profound impact on our boys," said Michael McLaughlin, sophomore service director at Saint Ignatius. "They love interacting with the hospital's caring staff and patients and they come back to school with a changed vision of their role as helpers in this world."

The mobile advertising company Millennial Media has just published a report that reflects the amounts of ad impressions displayed on each platform.
Apple has long dominated this type of lists and in the third quarter of 2012, according to data from Millennial Media and still is.
The iPhone and iPad are still the kings of Internet
According to the report, Apple accounted for 31% of total impressions and the iPhone has maintained its position as number one in the segment of mobile phones, with a share of 16% of total impressions.
Android really captured the largest number of impressions when it comes to operating systems with 52% of the total, but this amount was divided into lots of different terminals and not just one as with the Apple iPhone. According to the report, 15 of the top 20 devices were Android mobile operating system.
For the segment of tablets analyze and weigh more than 100 different devices, the iPad surpassed all others and is ranked as the number one.
The report also compares the adoption of iOS 5 in the same quarter last year, with the adoption of iOS 6 in 2012.
"Both iOS 5 and iOS 6 saw rapid adoption rates in our platform during the first month after its release. Prints on both operating systems grew approximately 4100% during the first week. iOS 6 yet levels of growth was much higher. On average, iOS 6 volumes of impressions achieved 1200% greater than those obtained iOS 5 during the first few weeks. "

Physical Therapy
Physical therapists (PTs) are highly-educated, licensed health care professionals who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility – in many cases without expensive surgery and often reducing the need for long-term use of prescription medications and their side effects.
Physical therapists teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits. PTs examine each individual and develop a plan, using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness – and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.

UPMC gobbles up competitors like it was run by the Rockefeller family, and if colleges were businesses, somebody would have complained about them to the Better Business Bureau. First, they target impressionable youth with campuses that look like hybrids between shopping-mall food courts and Bally's gyms. Only when the hapless students start racking up student loans do they discover the bait-and-switch: If they don't like the school, it's almost impossible to transfer your credits elsewhere. Many end up working for the college in "work-study" programs, essentially paying the school in order to work there.
Yet such behavior isn't just permitted but encouraged by state law, which exempts colleges and other non-profits from taxes. Why?
You're not the first person to ask. Attorney Ira Weiss, who is the solicitor for the Pittsburgh Public Schools and a long-time critic of the state's approach to tax-exempts, took non-profits to court repeatedly in an attempt to wring tax dollars from them. "Our challenge was that CEOs were paid salaries and compensation more indicative of for-profit corporations, that these institutions did little or nothing free, that they competed directly with private businesses," he says. You could argue that none of that has changed, but as Weiss muses, "I guess we were too successful." In 1997, after lawsuits filed by Weiss and others rolled back some tax-exempts, the state legislature passed the "Institutions for Purely Public Charity Act," which changed the rules of the game.
On the surface, the bill seems fairly innocuous. For example, it says that to be tax-exempt, an institution must serve a "purpose which is recognized as important and beneficial to the public," and "donate... a substantial portion of its services." And it "must operate entirely free from private profit motive"; for example, the salary of its officers must not be "based primarily upon the financial performance of the institution." (US Airways practically qualifies as a charity in this sense, since whatever else they were -- lucrative, absurd -- the salaries of its officers weren't based on the performance of their employer.)
Jim Redmond, a spokesman for the state's hospital association, says "Pennsylvania's law is kind of unique in that it lays out criteria that all non-profits must meet," to enjoy tax-exempt status. "Other states tend to be far more broad." But even if the law is more specific, cities get less from non-profits than they used to. In the old days, a town or school district could shake down non-profits by threatening to challenge their tax-exempt status in court. In order to ward off the challenge, non-profits would enter into "payment in lieu of taxes" (PILOT) agreements. But since the Act has passed, Weiss says, "There's no reason for a large non-profit to make a PILOT agreement today. They get a 'get out of jail free' card." Nowadays, he contends, "a hospital can charge you $6,000 for an ear-cleaning, and if the insurance pays only $400 for the procedure, they write off the rest of it as 'free care.' It's all accounting tricks." Before the Act was passed, Pittsburgh took in a few million dollars from tax-exempts; now it gets only a few hundred thousand.
Redmond understands why someone still paying off school loans from the University of Pittsburgh, say, might look at the $400,000 salary of the school's chancellor and ask who the real charity case was. "Often it can be very confusing as to why should I as a person who makes ends meet pay taxes, whereas a large entity like UPMC or Carnegie Mellon somehow doesn't have to," he admits. But, "I think the fundamental philosophy is embedded in the American belief that government shouldn't run everything, and in order to promote that, tax-exempt status is granted."
Indeed, the preamble of the public-charity act asserts that charities "lessen the burden of government," and it sure seems to be working in Pittsburgh. The charities provide services that government might otherwise be expected to, and the fact that these institutions don't pay taxes reduces other government services as well. Like providing garbage collection, swimming pools, rec centers and fire protection.
Be sure to thank them.
