|Dear Plastic, Lana Del Rey, Emma Louise + The Paper Kites
Hey... welcome back. What are we doing here? Well, to celebrate our 5th birthday, this April we're looking back at our favourite songs from the past five years! Let's listen to some goodness...
by Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX
I be the I-G-G-Y put my name in bold
I been working, I'm up in here with some change to throw.
I know a 13 year old who proudly announced recently; "the clip for 'Fancy' is the same as this old movie, I don't know its name…did you know that?" which made me feel really old. Yes, I knew about Clueless long before I-G-G-Y and Ms XCX made their clip. But then I hear those beats and those words "first things first" smash their way through my headphones and age is irrelevant. And ultimately, when my 13 year old friend sings the words "I'm so fancy" she's still pretending she is. We already know, I am…from L.A. to Tokyo. (Jo Michelmore)
by San Cisco
I thought I saw you last night
Get out of my life you've been stalking me for days.
I don't know if it's the 'da-da-da-da' nature of the song or the creepy stalker-y aspects of 'Awkward' that keep it stuck in my head for days each and every time I hear it. And maybe that's a bit concerning. But forget about that for a second, because San Cisco gave us one of the catchiest, boppiest, stalk-iest indie pop gems of the past five years and for that I thank them. Still stuck thinking I'm a stalker? Listen to the track. Now Jordi's the stalker. Ha! Please note, we do not encourage or enjoy stalking. I don't think I've ever talked about stalking this much in my life. The power of San Cisco, ladies and gentlemen. (Matt Bond)
by Marina and The Diamonds
Don't be so pathetic
Just open up and sing.
Ah, Marina and your diamonds, you make me so happy. There's nothing better than a piano and cute voice to make me feel alright about the world. Pair it with a sweet little pop tune about vulnerability and a little helplessness and the world is just perfect. The clip with Marina looking a little scared, a little scary and a whole lot of fabulous matches the beats so well, it all takes me back immediately to a little time in my life I lived those words "guess what, I'm not a robot" and loved them. I still do. (Jo Michelmore)
by Lana Del Rey
Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name.
"It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do." Say what you want about Lana Del Rey, but girlfriend delivers one heck of a festival singalong with 'Video Games'. Since I feel the need to remind everyone all the time, remember how I went to Glastonbury last year and it was the best thing ever? Yeah, well I did. And 'Video Games' was a big highlight as thousands of people sang along with a shoeless, smoking Lana Del Rey. Remember when the track first came out in 2011? We didn't know anything about the mysterious LDR. No one had gone snooping into her previous attempt as a music identity. The Saturday Night Live incident was yet to occur. What was that even about, I've forgotten already? All we had was this striking beauty with a haunting/mesmerising voice and an unforgettable debut. It was all retro fantastic and the whole world fell in love. Despite some vocal haters, she's still getting a ton of well deserved love today. (Matt Bond)
by The Naked and Famous
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky.
It doesn't matter where I am when I hear The Naked And Famous, every time I hear their sounds I smile a little smile and have a little dance. Admittedly, if I'm in a shop, sometimes it's more of a sway than a dance, and if I'm in my car it's more a head nod than a full dance, but get some TNAF on in my lounge and I'm a dancing machine. These are probably not images you need to think about. Things you need to think about are those amazing synths that kick off 'Young Blood' and the beats you can't help but tap to. I haven't even mentioned that line which is going to be stuck in your head for a good few hours long after you're too exhausted to dance anymore, e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah. Sorry, couldn't help myself. You know you love it as much as I do. Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah. (Jo Michelmore)
by Emma Louise
And we're moving slow, our hearts beat so fast
I've been dreaming, dreaming about you, about us.
Emma Louise is the owner of some of the best indie pop that has been produced in the last five years. She's also proud owner of one of the most random and amusing instagram accounts this country has ever produced, but that's something for you to investigate yourself. While the remix 'My Head Is A Jungle' might have been the song that helped her achieve some international fame, the original 'Jungle' is where the magic is. The keyboards with an immediate sense of doom at the beginning, the beats rapidly matching the thoughts and Emma-Louise's thoughts so very familiar; "and I'm complicated….my head is a jungle" because don't try and pretend you haven't felt that way at some time or another. Emma Louise is the proud owner of so much talent and definitely one of my favourite artists of the last five years. (Jo Michelmore)
by Tired Lion
Now you're left here by yourself
Alone and no one else.
Do you want to know what my favourite song of 2015 has been so far? No, it's not Redfoo's 'Juicy Wiggle'. It's Tired Lion's 'I Don't Think You Like Me'. Duh. It's the most effortlessly cool rock track we've heard in what feels like forever and leaves us wondering how this four-piece from Perth remains unsigned. Sophie Hopes kills it throughout, with a performance in the spirit of the likes of Vercua Salt's Nina Gordon and Louise Post. There's definitely a 90s vibe coming through, but it's not a 90s track if that makes any sense. It's 90s, but it's now. It's Tired Lion. We want to hear more. (Matt Bond)
by The Verses
And I would write a thousand songs if I thought it would help
Oh but I won't spend another night underneath your spell.
Most artists find it hard to move away from the sound they're most identified with. Ella and Jesse Hooper aren't most artists and seemed to have no problem transitioning from the alternative rocking Killing Heidi to their folk outfit, The Verses. When I first heard 'Want Everything' I couldn't help but compare the sound to Fleetwood Mac. So it was no surprise to see that The Verses had been chosen to tour with the music legends on their Australian tour back in 2009. From start to finish, 'Want Everything' is music perfection that shows off Hooper's strong talents as a storyteller. As much as I'm loving her solo adventures, I would be a huge fan of Ella teaming with her brother once again to see what else they can deliver. You know it would be awesome. And Fleetwood Mac's coming back this year... (Matt Bond)
by The Paper Kites
You'll never be sincerely right
If I stand here with you.
Let me be totally honest with you. I hadn't listened to this track in a long time. The last time I probably heard it was at the end of 2013, when we placed it in our top 113 songs countdown of that year. It only took a second though, when I hit play and that beautiful banjo started strumming, why oh why had this one slipped from my orbit over the past year and a bit? I don't know, but now that it's back I'm not letting it get away again, those layered sounds and the build of emotion is enchanting and so truly delightful. I'm sorry Paper Kites, I let you get away for a little while there, but you're not going anywhere now, I'll let your sounds float above my head like that gorgeous bubble in your sweet little clip. (Jo Michelmore)
by Dear Plastic
Today might be the day
That you might slip away
And I'll be alone
And I'll be alone.
When trying to decide what my favourite lyrics of all time are, I always come back to a song by The Dresden Dolls called 'Boston'. "There is nothing in the world that we can count on, even that we will wake up is an assumption." Jo being the best present giver ever gave me a necklace with them on it, she's awesome like that. Why am I talking about Dresden Dolls/favourite lyrics/great presents when I'm supposed to be talking about Dear Plastic and 'Epic Delay'? Because I think there's something really fascinating about music that talks/asks questions about things that make us uncomfortable. And what makes people more uncomfortable than the fact we're all going to die? That's why I love those Dresden Dolls lyrics. And it's why I love everything about 'Epic Delay'. It's talking about what keeps so many people up at night. What happens when it's all over? What happens to the people that leave us behind? What happens to the people we leave behind? Take that aspect of it away and we're left with the engrossing voice of Scarlette Baccini and mighty fine alternative music. This is a track I've only grown to love more with every listen and it's from an outfit I only want to hear more of, as soon as possible. (Matt Bond)

HeartlessDVD - 2010
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Plot is all over the place and movie is extremely long, drawn out and insanely depressing. No where near a horror movie.
this was interesting with disturbing images, creepy moments, etc. but I think the creators couldn't really decide on their genre so they included EVERYTHING with an artistic flare.
this movie had a twist but it still was good but very sad and disturbing.
Not a scary movie. More of a devil thriller drama. A lot of it makes no sense. Did his birthmark disappear or not? Did he really kill people. What did he do with the bodies?
Not sure about the point of the story.
Was he evil or good. May be good then evil then good again. confusing. One thing for sure don't make a pack with the devil. Nothing good comes out of it.
Heartless has elements of horror, but focuses less on gore and more on Jamie's desperation, and the consistent dread mixed into his surreal encounters with monsters and demons.
There's a lot of different concepts, questions, and characters in the film, and unfortunately not a lot of them get much of an explanation or time on screen.
Still, if you want something more unique and emotionally substantial than the usual horror flick, this is a good one to try.

What if you did miss him / her? Like the song says, what if you were distracted by the sun, and they passed on by in that instant of blindness? What if they've come and gone and are over the horizon forever? Or is there some destiny holding them somewhere in a moment just for us, unbreakable and certain?
Let's hope so.

Among the first seven founding members of the Partners Trust family and one of the Top 250 Best Real Estate Agents Nationally, as named by Wall Street Journal for four consecutive years, Dana Cataldi and her team are a force in Los Angeles real estate.
Named by the Wall Street Journal and Real Trends as one of The Top 250 Best Real Estate Agents Nationally for four consecutive years, Dana Cataldi is a recognized influencer and industry expert. As one of seven original partners and one of the first females on the team, Dana is above all a bold Partners Trust leader with a stellar reputation. Though focused primarily on the Westside, Dana's referral base has expanded to the far corners of Los Angeles. From the beachfront properties of Redondo Beach to the canyons of Topanga, it's safe to say that Dana's candid, driven and loyal nature follows her wherever she goes.
A dedicated single mother of four whose childhood consisted of playing ice hockey and handling a paper route in the thick of New Jersey blizzards, Dana is not one to back down from a challenge—nor is she one to squirm at gutting a fish, pass up an opportunity to pay it forward, or turn down tickets to a music festival.
"Dana's 'get her done' attitude is infectious and her fun-loving nature rallies the people around her. She shares her vulnerability and authenticity with great candor and strength. I'm honored to call her my partner and thankful to consider her my dear friend."
—Nick Segal, President & Founding Partner
Having come from a professional background in the entertainment industry where she worked on the marketing and production of events such as The GRAMMY Awards, Dana understands the art of communication. After learning how to manage radio personality Howard Stern before the age of 23, she is well-equipped to negotiate her way through any situation. As motherhood has fine-tuned her ability to juggle multiple tasks at once, Dana dedicates time to sharing that knowledge by teaching time management seminars for Partners Trust as well as organizing break-out groups designed to support and elevate fellow agents. Ever since her first sale in 2007, cultivating relationships, establishing trust and applying the utmost devotion to each and every transaction is the only way Dana knows how to do business.
"At the end of the day, the biggest compliment I can receive is hearing a glowing testimonial from my client. This is what gets me up in the morning and makes me want to give 100% everyday."
Kate's energy, tenacity and passion for Real Estate drive her to be a top agent. She believes that hard work, clear communication and integrity are the cornerstones of a successful business, and this is attested by the over 200 residential transactions she has worked on since beginning her career in Real Estate in 2011. Before that, she was studying behavioral neurobiology and completed her undergrad in three years with a B.A. in Psychology and Political Science.
Trained and inspired by Brian Tracy, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie and Robert Kiyosaki, Kate is committed to personal and professional growth, constantly exploring new ways to excel and improve the Real Estate experience for her clients. She draws from her experience and instincts to protect her clients interests and proactively address details before issues arise. When challenges do emerge, Kate's resourceful and enterprising nature allows her to creatively problem-solve to quickly identify a solution. She currently works on a team with Dana Cataldi, named Top Agent for the past two years by the Wall Street Journal's Real Trends. Together, their combined strengths, business acumen and availability offers buyers and sellers of everything from condos to high-end luxury estates with an unparalleled level of service and representation.
When she's not helping clients, Kate can be found hiking Temescal Canyon, biking around the West Side or finding new ways to explore the outdoors and enjoy our amazing SoCal weather.

Tail flick analgesia is a test performed on rodents using a pain response to measure tail flick latency. We are constructing this test equipment to enable the psychology department to have the ability to perform tail flick experiments. The main idea behind this equipment is a heat lamp controlled by an arduino. The arduino is the "brain" of the device and has the ability to turn on and off the heat lamp by means of a photo sensitive sensor. The rodent is restrained and its tail is placed directly beneath the heat lamp. The equipment is user activated via a button. At this time the heat lamp turns on. The rodents tail, being exposed to the heat lamp, will eventually flick at which point a photo sensor beneath the tail will detect the light from the heat lamp. When this happens the "brain" will immediately shut off the heat lamp and record the time and temp.
For more detailed information and to see our progress please check out our wiki!

The NRA tweeted a video of Wayne LaPierre calling for President-elect Donald Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress to act quickly to abolish gun-free zones on military bases.
It is time, once and for all, to end the absolute fallacy of gun-free zones. Not one American serviceman or woman should be murdered on a military base because the government denied their right to defend themselves with a firearm. We revere the men and women in uniform who defend our freedom, and their rights must be restored immediately.
.#NRA's Wayne LaPierre on "Our historic moment 2 go on offense & defeat the forces that have aligned against our freedom once & 4 all" #2A pic.twitter.com/iTpP2qih5u
— NRA News (@nranews) November 14, 2016
LaPierre also called on Trump and Congress to "pass national right to carry reciprocity as quickly as it can be written and signed." He stressed that "the individual right to carry a firearm in defense of our lives and our families does not and should not end at any state line."
He also called for action to end the "tyrannical erosion of guns rights in states and cities where corrupt leaders" are hard at work to chip away and finally destroy the exercise of Second Amendment rights. He explained that this tyrannical effort is characterized by "a deceitful web of gun bans, ammo bans, magazine bans, exorbitant fees and taxes, and registration schemes."
LaPierre described this as "our historic moment" and called on gun owners and freedom lovers to rally, to "go on offense and to defeat the forces that have aligned against our freedom once for all."

Book Review of "tiny beautiful things" by Cheryl Strayed
Cheryl Strayed is best known for Wild: From Lost To Found On The Pacific Crest Trail, her unapologetically honest memoir. However, the success of Wild should not distract readers from pursuing her volume tiny beautiful things. This is a collection of advice columns she wrote under the pen name Sugar for the online site The Rumpus. Unlike many advice columnists, she doesn't stick to the tried-and-true approach of giving prudent advice without offering much, if any, indication of whether she has ever struggled similarly. Cheryl, to her credit, doesn't approach the questions with a simplistic attitude which could be expressed as follows: "When I was in a similar situation, this is what I did and it worked; therefore, it is what you should also do." Occasionally she'll mention an equivalent situation she has faced to assure the inquiring party that he or she isn't alone. Afterwards she'll encourage or, if necessary, admonish them without giving unreasonably specific instructions regarding what they should or shouldn't do. Only in a few cases does she remind those seeking advice that they already know what they must do, and so they must decide whether to act now or later.
Her writing is fluid, poetic, and uncompromising. She refuses to pretend that all will be well for most who seek her counsel. For instance, she encourages a single woman in her late thirties who wants to have children to consider if she is willing to become a single mother. Deftly Cheryl cites examples where a woman she knows thought she was creating a happy, cohesive family unit when her significant other died, left, or otherwise was no longer involved. This theme—that life isn't perfect, it will never be perfect, and you have to work with what you have—repeatedly surfaces.
Cheryl Strayed
One reason her responses resonated with me was I could tell how exhaustively she wrestled with the questions before offering an answer. Beyond this, by asking questions in her replies, she appears eager to know what is left untold within what was shared. These aren't routine, unthinking inquiries; instead, they're questions which dig deeper and embolden the individual to surrender any traces of self-pity while confronting undesirable situations.
Cheryl, despite being reassuring, generous, and gracious towards those who wrote to Dear Sugar, does not promote self-pity or inertia. She writes, "Everything about that boy pacing the hallway tells me a story I need to know: that we do not have the right to feel helpless… That we must help ourselves. That after destiny has delivered what it delivers, we are responsible for our lives."
This theme of responsibility is woven throughout the entire book. By and large Cheryl refuses to dwell on the question "Why did this happen to you?"; she instead gently asks "What are you going to do now?" Drawing on her own personal experiences—including the devastating death of her mother when Cheryl was in her early twenties—she declares that, even though much of what happens we would never have chosen, we must accept these events and continue living our lives. Moreover, she suggests that the tragedies we endure may help us become better human beings. She writes, "The strange and painful truth is that I'm a better person because I lost my mom young. When you say you experience my writing as sacred, what you are touching is the divine place within me that is my mother. Sugar is the temple I built in my obliterated place. I'd give it all back in a snap, but the fact is, my grief taught me things. It showed me shades and hues I couldn't have otherwise seen. It required me to suffer. It compelled me to reach."
What topics would you most like advice from Dear Sugar about?
The need to reach, to move forward, to consider our actions from alternative perspectives are themes knitted into the fabric of this book. Because life usually isn't as straightforward as we would prefer, no glib or easy answers are offered. At the same time, she recognizes that there are "useless days" which eventually will "add up to something." That is, of course, if we are willing to do the work.
This volume is recommended for anyone who wants to delve into Cheryl Strayed's magnificent writing while being reminded of how complex and ultimately redemptive our lives can be.

Leonardo DiCaprio is known not only for his remarkable acting skills, but also for his philanthropy and active participation in environmentalism. The 42-year-old held the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation's second annual gala on July 22 in Domaine Bertaud Belieu in St.Tropez, France.
A staggering total of over $40 million was raised by auctioning off private concerts, VIP access, paintings, and even some of DiCaprio's personal belongings. One guest went to the lengths of labelling it as "the biggest environmental fundraiser ever."
The star-studded event consisted of unannounced performances by Elton John and John Legend. The former crooned his hit "Tiny Dancer"and even put two private concerts up for auction, which sold for $3 million.
Other high-profile guests of DiCaprio's function included Prince Albert of Monaco, Orlando Bloom, Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Campbell, Irina Shayk, and DiCaprio's latest fling, model Kelly Rohrbach.
DiCaprio commenced the auction with a fervent plea to the guests informing them that their help and support would go towards protecting "the tiger, rhino, shark, and mountain gorilla." He also stated how proud he felt to be a part of such a night that would allow them to do so much to protect their planet. He then proceeded to auction off the watch on his wrist, a Rolex Daytona, along with artwork by Andy Warhol and Bansky, all from his personal collection. DiCaprio alone raised $2 million.
Auctioneer Simon de Pury took over from there. The most expensive sell was a luxury home on DiCaprio's "world's greenest resort" island in Belize, Blackadore Caye. Thomas Barrack, founder of investment firm Colony Capital, Inc. snagged it for over $11 million!
Another popular prize was the one generously donated by Prince Albert—it was an opportunity for adventure opportunists to dive into Monaco's unique and protected Larvotto Marine Reserve, along with an arctic expedition.

When Blackmagic announced its first-ever Cinema Camera in 2012, the video production community respectfully perked up their ears. Here was a trusted, well-respected company unveiling a product with appeal to many. Not to mention at an an absolutely unbeatable price. Since its launch, Blackmagic has slashed $1,000 off of the Cinema Cam's original cover price, leaving consumers with the option of shooting 2.5K RAW video for only $1,995. That's a jaw-dropping statistic, especially when you consider it comes with a free copy of DaVinci Resolve (a $995 value). Make no mistake, if you have to shoot RAW video on a budget, this is the camera for you.
With a deal this good we simply had to get a Cinema Camera into our mitts, not only so we could test and review Blackmagic's claims, but also so we could actually use it for our own needs. People ask us for camera recommendations all the time, and the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is often one of the first items people want to know more about. That's just one more reason it became a necessity for our video team to get first-hand experience with the Cinema Camera.
After using the Cinema Camera for a few weeks we came away very impressed by its image quality—especially the ability to shoot in RAW—but we were far less enthused by its controls and handling. The $2,000 price tag is extremely cheap, but once you get all the much-needed accessories you'll probably end up spending at least double that (if not thousands more). That's still a fantastic deal compared to the options from Red Digital Cinema or Canon's Cinema EOS line.
But the Cinema Camera suffers from a variety of handling problems that too substantial to ignore. It's LCD is terrible, the iris controls are lousy, and the internal battery life is a joke. This is an extraordinarily challenging camera to work with, so it must be viewed primarily as a professional studio cam, not a run-and-gun camcorder that's ideal for shooting docs. If you're looking to get your feet wet in digital video production, our recommendation would be to try out a Panasonic GH3 or a Canon 5D Mark III first, particularly if you have no need to shoot RAW video. Once you get comfortable with that workflow, an upgrade to a Blackmagic Cinema Camera will be an easier step to take. Another option would be to check out the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, which has a more user-friendly design and costs just under $1,000.

Betty graduated with a BA degree in Psychology and Art from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. After retirement, Betty's need to "create" has become a reality through further painting classes at UTC. She has attended painting seminars and small group sessions, and participated in painting classes at Chattanooga State. Her teacher at Chattanooga State, Mike Holsomback, encouraged her to explore the spontaneity of painting with a palette knife. She likes the freshness she is able to achieve when painting with a palette knife.
Betty enjoys the stimulation of painting in small groups or in her small home studio. Each day she is challenged to strengthen her personal painting style. Art influences on the development of her style include the Impressionists and the Expressionists. She believes that in painting – the essence is more important than the details.
"I enjoy many methods of painting. My desire is to continue to grow in painting with both new and old methods of painting, but my goal is to paint more abstractly. I want the viewer's mind to bring something to the painting that will fill in the blanks to complete my painting."
Betty is currently a member of the Civic Arts League, and a couple of book clubs.

The ornament this year is a purple color with the city's Charles Bender School engraved into the ornament. The theme for this year's parade is "Performing Christmas Miracles."
This year's Grand Marshal is Barry Dean, the Artistic Director for Center Stage Theater in Kingwood.
In addition to the parade, the committee hosts a decorating and lighting contest for homes and businesses located on Higgins, Grandberry and Main Street.
The staging area for the parade is on Main Street from Bender Ave to the railroad tracks. A second staging area is located on Main Street from Bender Ave to the U.S. Highway 59 northbound feeder road.

Matthew 12: 36 "But I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken." GULP…anyone else break into cold sweats when they read this?? EVERY Careless Word? YIKES…. I'm in trouble.
I immediately thanked Jesus for his grace and mercy!
But these words are written in red! This is Jesus talking!! Jesus is reminding us that our words are important!
Now, He is talking to the Pharisees who have basically just accused Jesus of being Satan, but still(Matthew 12:24) I sometimes paint this picture in my head of the big bad Pharisees,and forget that I can totally be a Pharisee… and so can you.
Before Jesus speaks these words, he says in verse 34 "For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." This is why our words matter!
Our words represent truths hidden in our hearts! Jesus cares deeply about what's on the inside. His love for our hearts is what led him to the cross! Jesus isn't simply warning us to watch our mouths, Jesus is warning us not to be careless with our hearts!
What words come out of our mouths? Are they words that represent the heart of Christ? Do they speak life and love or are they filled with self hate and criticism towards others?
These are important questions to ask yourself.
I was listening to a lady teach on prayer. I found myself thinking I wouldn't have worn that. She's kind of boring. I like her hair, though.
What is wrong with me??? This is a Jesus loving lady who has wisdom to share!! I prayed Jesus forgive me. I have jealousy in my heart. I still struggle with vanity and image. I thought I was beyond this. Please forgive what's in my heart.
Our hearts are who we are; our feelings, secrets, thoughts….. the good and the bad reside in our hearts. Jesus wants to redeem each and every shortcoming that keeps us from becoming more like Him. This is what spiritual growth looks like. He deeply cares about our hearts.
The words we think and say bring to light the roots in our hearts that Jesus wants to save and heal. Tweet that.
Let's not be careless with our words, our hearts. Let's pay attention to the words we think and say and ask Jesus to reveal what ugly roots He wants to dig out.
That is what Jesus does!!!
He purifies our hearts so that we can see Him and seeing Him is everything.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
I have a verse that I memorized years ago to help me stop my ugly thoughts.
Philippians 4: 8:Finally Brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.
After I confessed the ugly in my heart about this sister in Christ who loves the Lord, I began to pray blessings over her and thanking God for what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable about her.
I hate the ugly in my heart. It's embarrassing and shameful, but it reminds me of my never ending need for Christ. I know God to be faithful in cleansing us from unrighteousness, so as I continue to hunger and thirst for him, my words and thoughts will change.
And because of Jesus, I am not afraid of that judgement day. Praise the Lord because the God of Peace is with me.
When you make Jesus Lord over your life, He will purify your heart. He will cleanse your mind, He will cleanse your heart and your words will change as a result.
Jesus ends this section of scripture with Matthew 12: 37 "For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
Our heart will acquit us and what's in our heart will condemn us. But Jesus wants our hearts. He has mine; I pray He has yours.
Have you given your heart to the Lord? Have you made Him Lord over your life? Are there areas in your life that you need to confess before the Lord to clean? There is so much goodness when you do.
So….Please do… please give him your heart. Give him the good, the bad, the ugly. A life following him is a life worth living.
If you are reading this and you realize that your words don't match a heart that belongs to Jesus, here is a prayer for you.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I confess that I've never asked you to save my heart. Jesus please save my heart. Please cleanse me and help me see you. Come into my life. Thank you for your mercy and help me now. Please fill me the Holy Spirit so that I may live a life that increases in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Help me to be able to say I love you and mean it. Bring me people, passages, and books into my life so that I may know you and love you more deeply.
Thank you Jesus for the cross and for saving me.
In Jesus name,
Maybe Jesus does have your heart, but your words aren't speaking evidence of joy, peace, and encouragement like they used to. Here is a prayer for you!
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for loving my heart enough to cleanse it. Please help me to identify the lie I'm listening to that is keeping me from speaking words of life, peace, and enjoyment. Thank you for loving me enough to never stop wanting chasing after every little piece of my heart that belongs to you. Help me to go and sin no more as I learn to walk in your love.
In Jesus name I pray,

Reward offered for information in shooting of bald eagle in southeast Oklahoma
BROKEN BOW, Okla. (KOKH) —
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a reward for any information leading to those responsible for killing a bald eagle in southeast Oklahoma.
The service announced Feb. 2 that are offering $1,500 for any information that leads to a conviction in the killing of a bald eagle around Dec. 27 in McCurtain County.
On that day, a passerby discovered a bald eagle shot along Myrtle Road west of Broken Bow in rural McCurtain County. The eagle was later collected by a game warden who discovered a rifle casing nearby. The eagle is believed to have been shot out of a tree overhanging the road.
The animals are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The maximum penalty for killing an eagle is one year in jail and a $100,000 fine.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the service's Office of Law Enforcement in Fort Worth at 817-334-5202 or the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation at 1-800-522-8039.

Hi guys, the idea 💡 of a power woman shoot came from my friend, Amaka of @Strugzinspires. I then post drew inspiration from an article (by Akash Gautam; 9 characteristics of highly desirable women) to strengthen/back up the fashion. 75% of the items worn by us made by Nigerian female designers.
The dictionaries define "Desirable" as "worth having or wanting; pleasant, excellent or fine."
watch behind the scenes video here
Although it said that beauty lies in the hand of the beholder, there are certain traits a woman could posses to make her lots more attractive and of huge value. Asides desirability, we'd be touching on behavioral patterns strong (powerful) females most likely possess.
1. They don't chase people instead they develop themselves.
That carefree/confident attitude that make them feel complete in themselves.
2. They are in control of their emotions
No need to waste time in emotions that wouldn't bring them any progress.
Petty gossip, useless talking, and drama is for school girls — not the desirable women that we look up to.
4. They are not attention seekers
She doesn't like to spam people with such relationship-status-on-social-media trivialities. They would much rather be known and talked about for their real and meaningful achievements.
They believe in earning attention from like-minded people, not snatching it with constant updates on the happenings in their lives. They earn respect instead of asking for it. They believe in maintaining a mystery about their lives which only selected people can have access to.
5. They don't lose themselves in their relationships
It's not that they hold back. They have a life of their own that goes beyond the relationship. They don't cling to their boyfriends or girlfriends constantly.
They don't lose sight of their goals and dreams for love. They don't lose their identity. Desirable women make smart decisions about how much time they are willing to devote to their relationships and to their goals. They set their priorities. They let their relationships add to their lives — not become their whole lives.
6. They have hobbies and passions
Desirable women make massive efforts to become better at their hobbies and passions. Some of the most desirable women are the ones who care deeply about their hobbies. It defines them and makes them more interesting people.
7. They are fiercely intelligent
They have a certain kind of wisdom that comes from experience, from a plethora of mistakes and a life full of lessons.They are no strangers to deep conversation. They read books.
8. They are confident
It's not about their appearance but their aura. They don't worry about their physical shortcomings. They fix what they can and carry themselves with elegance and charm that only a lady can possess.
They dress well and know how to exude confidence.
9. They understand financial health
They are proactive and understand that they the fact they can pay for stuff doesn't mean they can afford it. They are logical with the right mix of rationality and emotion. Desirable women don't overdo it.
10. They are supportive towards fellow women.
They understand that a single tree🌲 cannot a forest 🌳 make. They don't see competition at the slightest turn instead a chance to uplift/empower.

Destuctoid: "The official reveal of the next Call of Duty is imminent. We've seen a screenshot out of Game Informer and have a countdown set to go off Sunday morning. But let's not wait for that."
How long are they gonna reuse that old ass PS2 engine, like c'mon you make all that money from CoD every year and you can't invest in a better looking engine.
If you honestly think that looks like previous CoD games then I really am at a loss for words...
It looks astounding, i've never been more excited by a game trailer, the graphics were superb, spacey looks and sounds fantastic even the writing sounded above par for the series. (i've loved every cod and hated ghosts) so it's good to have the same feelings about the series again yaaaaaaaaay!
Well it has my attention, and I do love me some Kevin Spacey, but I'll be damned if this doesn't look a little derivative. I mean, is this the new formula?
COD:AW = COD:MW + Elysium + House of Cards?
Looks like Titanfall had an impact on COD... I'm pretty excited for this, I skipped Ghosts
I agree with @Fireseed. It's not my cup of tea (not too in to futuristic games) but it definitely doesn't look like previous COD games.
I secretly was kinda pulling for the return to the past with the series but if they include 4 player local multi, I'm down.
@Troy, I agree but if I'm not mistaken this has been in development for a while.
How exactly does it not look like other cod games? I noticed the characters had the same kind of weird plasticy hard looking skin. They didn't show any gameplay, and I'm pretty certain most of the cool looking stuff they showed in the trailer will either be non interactive or QTE based. It looks like they potentially added more techy stuff like elysium style mech suits, but I can't see them actually changing the core gameplay around much, they guns will still handle much the same the levels will still be very small, weapons will still be hit scan based, and characters will still go down in one to three hits.
Graphically it did look better than previous COD games, the lighting looked quite nice, and the environment textures looked good, but since activision is known to bullshot, and nearly all the scenes looked like not gameplay the 'real' graphics could look like nearly everything.
It could very well turn out to be a really good game with good writing, innovative gameplay, excellent graphics, the whole nine yards. More than likely though it will be more of what everyone is used to because that is how activision rolls.
honestly looks great, the first CoD I'm interested in since MW2, the SP should be interesting this time
also looks like the exclusive deal with MS is still going, that will matter little if it's another 720P problem.
It may look better, but I'm going to hold my opinion until I see some gameplay videos, hopefully it wont be the same shit with a different smell.
@Amazing, So you're saying if you didn't see the title in the article you would be able to tell it was a Call of Duty game?
I personally wouldn't have guessed it. Probably would have thought it was some new IP.
Its seems like the same ole Call of Duty campaign to me! Game will hold your hand and point you in the right direction so you will not get confused and will not force the player to have to think! Stop the gameplay every ten minutes so the game can show some expensive cutscenes which can also be used for trailers to try to fool people that this campaign is ground breaking ! A five hour campaign ! Yeah this is exactly what this game will be , same ole Call of Duty !
Dude, dem is some nice looking graphics. I'm actually going to keep an eye out on this.
Okay that looked impressive. Mostly because Kevin Spacey is a BAWWS!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.. you guys are missing the big picture. It's being made for last gen systems too. This will be a flop in critical standards.
edit: Sorry the way it the news story was archived misled me into thinking it was confirmed for those systems.
If honestly think this is a whole new from the ground up COD then I have some swampland to sell you dirt cheap.
1. Drones and mechs, futuristic setting looks straight out of Black Ops 2
2. Bridge fighting from MW2
3. No way in Hell is this running on a new Engine, this is the same old take last year's model and give it a wax job.
4. How many times have proclaimed " This is a whole New Call Of Duty " ?
I had lost my interests in the franchise a while back, but after seeing this new trailer it has indeed caught my attention.
love the bump in fidelity and attention to detail.
graphically it's no BF4 or Killzone but this game should look and run much better than Ghosts because it had a lot more time with the new generation hardware.
Quake 2 style static buildings with zero destruction is unforgivable in 2014 from a billionaire development company living in valleys of cash.
Shame on you for excusing it, you're part of the problem then.
It looks good graphically, but there are still some things which look kinda crappy. For example, the fact that there is no deformation on Kevin Spacey's face except for around his mouth.
I know it is a minor thing, but the trailer on the whole screams Call of Duty, if I didn't see the name, I would still have guessed it was COD, because the format is exactly like every COD trailer for the past four years. I'm not going to get my hopes up, but I am certainly more interested than previous games.
I can't believe the day has arrived when I am anticipating the release of a Call of Duty game. Well done Sledgehammer, well done.
you can tell that he only said that because it said that it was running on x1 hardware.
they game looked great and that's that!
The first ever good-looking COD game.
But that's the single player.
Nobody cares about the single player 4 hour campaign.
Everyone plays multi.
But hell, with all these changes, I might actually start buying them back.
I'll see if it's good or not.
I love change, not a repetitive game.
Hmm, Call Of Duty in KillZone Mode. Looks interesting.
This one has better quality. In french though.
It looks better then last CODs for sure but let's please not act like this really appealing graphically. Its not impressive looking seeing what else has come out so far this gen
You can see the limitations clearly, but it still looks really good, much better than the older games. This is clearly not the same engine they were using back then.
I have a feeling Activision is finally hiring good graphics guys to work on the COD franchise, but graphics aren't my concern. How's it play? That's my concern since every COD campaign in recent memory has been boring and every COD MP has been the same crap, etc.
especially the facial animation. still not perfect but way better than before.
IT looks leaps and bounds better than ghost which at times didn't look like a next gen game. Actually excited for a COD for the first time in a long time.
Looks completely new and fresh. Honestly, I'm excited. If I hadn't known it was Call of Duty I would have thought it was a new IP.
Not a fan of CoD however this looks interesting. Will pick it up if this is for next gen systems only. Don't fancy having a lame ass port.
This looks pretty good actually. As a former player and now hater of the series, I honestly have to say that I would give this a chance.
Then I remembered how much it costs per year to play this game. Then I saw the 30 day exclusive to xbox and the "following was using an xbox one" messages and realized I don't need to be treated like crap JUST BECAUSE bought a PlayStation. I don't know....I hate supporting Call of Duty anymore for these reasons. Despite that, the game looks pretty awesome actually. Which is where my struggle lies.
I'm going to have to play this one first before I invest $60 on the first half then another $60 on the 2nd half. Sometimes I really wonder how much 'DLC' was created during the real games development.Good to see a different looking COD game this time though! Here's wishing the best for SH games
@naga: House of Duty: Elysium Warfare
Yes guy... looks like old engines in old consoles.
80% of what you saw in this trailers is a "realtime PRE-rendered CUT-Scenes" full of Aliasing and probably @ 720p 30fps.
Combining Crysis with battlefield with a lot of killzone is not a good starting point for a "really hardcore experienced" gamers.
Ovviously if you are a new gamers without expericene this looks amazing.
I think it looks much better than Ghosts.
wow i think im gonna get this cod, havent bought one since mw2
Cod has finally decided to join the next generation. Hopefully the gameplay follows. Who knows, maybe this Cod will have a worthwhile story too.
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, you mean?
wait a second....
It looks great no doubt, graphics finally look awesome. I'm only worried about the gameplay being the same as always. Cod trailers and videos always show crazy Micheal Bay style explosions, adrenaline pumping action to reel people in and then the gameplay is always move 2 inches and shit explodes everywhere in your face, it becomes more of a movie than a game. If they expect to attract my attention I want sandbox environments and large scale battles, things that will change the gameplay from before. I'm so tired of interactive movie type games.
It looks good but not impressing. Good enough for me in graphics side.
Like i said before it's a mix between crysis and titanfall . Now gameplay needs to be at least good to convince me that it's getting better , the only way to know that is by buying it or hearing feedback from specific people that have my taste xP. I'm always gonna buy call of duty until my brothers are sick of it. Hopefully it doesn't go that way. :P
Just remember , they are the devil , they hype it to hell then it turns out to be worst then the old call of duty's . I'm not falling for that. It's a fact for me until i play it and see it in my own eyes..
it is cod and I vowed myself to never buy another.I know most gamers will goble it right up though and will continue to hate on it yet keep buying the games like they do with all the cods. Multiplayer will be the same old casual aim assist cod with futuristic new perks and gameplay to make it even easier for casuals. There largest market is casuals and they wont shy away from making noob friendly games for them.
@Sinatra I don't know what your talking about the game, graphically looks damn near amazing.
I agree...amazing visuals. It's like a virtual Hollywood blockbuster!!
Some folks can't be pleased. Who gives a Rats A$$ what they think. I will be getting this one!!!
Dang, one of my favourite actors is in it KEVIN (House of Cards) SPACEY!!!!
It looks decent for a CoD game but definitely not amazing for next gen. Especially when you compare to other titles, like BF4 which was a launch title.
No, it looks properly next gen and very impressive. I don't know which trailer you watched.
Another Titanfall without titans.No thanks
Titanfall without titans makes no sense at all and that just basically means it's a normal fps...
I'm pretty sure COD came out before Titanfall and was a major inspiration for Titanfall (especially considering the developers)...
Incredible!! Gotta love the internet. These guys: http://www.callofdutyforeve... deserve a lot of credit because they were talking about Advanced Warfare months ago. So far I'm saying holy crap, this just got real! I think Halo is about to bite the dust. Move over AW is here!
Activision trademarked "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" literally years ago. I recall the trademarks popping up around the time MW2 was coming out. They also trademarked "Space Warfare" as well, and "Future Warfare".
I don't think they trademarked Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, since they already own the trademark to Call of Duty. Nobody is allowed to make a game with the name "Call of Duty" without Activision's approval.
I think they trademarked Advanced Warfare so other games won't use that name/subname. That means when someone tells their friends to buy "Advanced Warfare", there's only gonna be one game to choose from and no confusion to be had.
It's doesn't look like the old engine.
It looks good but not great. Not a 'omg this must be next gen' type graphics.
Yeah, but it looks much better than the older games. I've been spoiled by games like inFAMOUS SS and NBA 2K14, and many other games that are coming out look much better, but this is a step in the right direction for COD.
They finally hired some good graphics guys, but I'm worried about gameplay. I'll wait a month after this game releases for the real reviews before I buy this, I don't trust IGN, Gamespot, etc. reviews on COD titles.
How about watching trailer first before commend?
The gameplay will be a same shit.
What do you want them to do? Make the game play that of a RPG? They don't need to change the game play. It WORKS!! Why change it when it's exactly what COD is going for?
It doesn't look as good as some other shooters that's for sure. But it will run at 60fps, something most of the better looking games don't achieve. And since 60fps is basically a staple of the franchise, I would much rather have good graphics and 60fps in a Call of Duty game than great graphics at an unstable fps or worse, a locked 30fps; it simply wouldn't fit the Call of Duty gameplay.
Completely agree. This is why I play (certain) COD games. The frenetic pace is what its about. The graphics never really mattered to me.
Looks like blackops2 with Kevin spacey. Guys don't expect this game to be any different from the other cods. I think personally they have gotten worse over time.
To be fair, it does look better than the Ghost.
But then again, it is a CoD game. So I think we all know what to expect.
Why should we care?
Oh well, COD's plague reached FinalFantasy too.
But hey, as long as Noctis's game is good everyone should be cool.
you obviously cared enough to comment. An comparing CoD to final fantasy is a pretty bad comparison to make since they're of two different genre's. An i can attest that the general consensus has more faith in FFXV being a great game rather than the amount of people who think advanced warfighter will be one. Alas like you said why should you care??
man game is looking amazing,yeah sometimes ,at very less times game looked ok,especially at the satart but then it looked like next gen,not saying they were looking realistic but it is following the artstyle of old cod's ,with very less colors in them,and game looked great and is having some amazing cenes but still gameplay is unknown.
What? That looks extremely impressive. To be honest it looks better than any other shooter we have seen yet.
This is the first Call of Duty game in a long time that I have had any interest in. Not just for the visuals either, but the gameplay, setting and narrative seem to be more intriguing to me as well.
You must be blind or just a hater that trailer was the best looking graphics ever.
Yes anyone who has a differing of an opinion towards another is either blind or a hater /s
WTF! dude watch the trailer it looks epic. I have never bought NEVER bought a call of duty game but damn if im not excited for this after that epic trailer.
If you really think that looks like a last gen cod..Then, it's about time you get your eyes checked/ upgrade your devices.

Factcheck.org reported on Monday that development of GreenTech Automotive's proposed Mongolia automobile manufacturing facility has stalled because promised funding from the Chinese government to GreenTech's joint venture with a Chinese company has fallen through. Terry McAuliffe, Democratic nominee for governor of Virginia, served as chairman of GreenTech Automotive from 2010 to 2012.
In August 2011, Automotive IT reported that GreenTech Automotive (GTA) said it will build and sell a new range of fuel-efficient cars in China . . . teaming up with Shengyang ZhongRui Investment Co to launch its Chinese production and sales venture." According to the report, "[t]he jointly owned company, which is called Ordos GreenTech Automotive Co, has started work on a new manufacturing facility in Ordos in Inner Mongolia. The plant will produce a full line of vehicles powered by US made combustion engines, hybrid powertrains and pure electric drivetrains."
Factcheck reported on Monday that GreenTech Automotive Vice President of Marketing Marianne McInerny, responded to questions via email and blamed the joint venture's apparent failure to construct a plant in Ordos on the Chinese government:
As for China, the Ordos plant that McAuliffe announced with such gusto in 2011 may never be built. Construction was halted and put on indefinite hold when Chinese government funding dried up. GreenTech's McInerney says the company employs five people there, awaiting a decision on whether promised government financial assistance will be restarted.
McInerney's emailed statement to Factcheck on Monday appears to be the first time that the Chinese government's role in financing the GreenTech Automotive joint venture in Mongolia has been reported publicly.
McAuliffe resigned as chairman of GreenTech Automotive on December 1, 2012. According to a Statement of Economic Interests filed with the Virginia State Board of Elections in 2012, McAuliffe still owns stock in the company that he values at more than $250,000.

In changing times, faith seen as source of strength for fathers
Our Diocese
Laity, Family and Life
by Daniel Linskey, Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The image of the American family is changing and increasingly that means a family doesn't include a father figure.
For example, in 1960, only 11 percent of children lived apart from their fathers, but now that number is 27 percent, according to a recent Pew study.
Expectations of the American father are changing, too. A Gallup poll found that 80 percent of teens believe making enough time to spend with children is "very difficult" or "somewhat difficult" for fathers. Another Pew study found that 78 percent of fathers living apart from their children visit less than once a month.
Brian Caulfield, editor of the Knights of Columbus initiative Fathers for Good, believes a man's obligation to be a good father is a moral obligation.
"Marriage is a vocation within the church. A married man who has a child includes his family in that vocation," Caulfield said.
The changes seen in fatherhood and the role of fathers in many ways are related to a cultural trend that says men are not needed in a family, he said.
"In vitro fertilization, abortion and divorce take the male actor out of the situation," he said. "All of these things sideline a father and make him feel he is not as needed. I believe the solution we are trying to propose through Fathers for Good is that men need to stay involved in the family."
The Pew study showed that 57 percent of adults believe being a father today is harder than being a father 20 to 30 years ago. Only 9 percent believe it is easier.
Gregory Slayton, a Catholic who is a former U.S. ambassador to Bermuda and author of a new book titled "Be a Better Dad Today," agrees that dads today face a lot of challenges their own fathers did not.
"I think we got to this point through a confluence of negative events. The media has changed, and the traditional bulwarks of society have less influence today," he said.
However, there is a way to combat such influences, Slayton said, and for him that is faith.
"Faith is an absolutely critical tool in being a good father. Not having a dad myself, I realized I needed to learn from many different fathers," he said. "There were very few great dads who were not men of faith. They have their priorities in order, because having a long term relationship with God means you think in the long term for your family."
In his book, Slayton emphasizes that the greatest role a man can play is the role of a good father, adding that men need to understand their role as fathers and set priorities.
"Every father must prioritize for a family. Nothing significant is built without planning. You don't build a church, a network, not even a bicycle without a plan," he said.
Slayton said that children who grow up without a dad are "three to six times more likely to spend time in prison, become addicted to drugs, fail out of high school, and have children themselves out of wedlock."
Both Caulfield and Slayton said a father's strong relationship with his wife is one key to creating a stable family.
"Men need to listen to their wives, and be accepting of what (Pope) John Paul II coined 'feminine genius,'" Caulfield said. "John Paul II's theology of the body says the holistic complementarity within marriage comes from the family." And for that, he said, there needs to be a strong and present father.
"A father must work with his wife, he's in a relationship, he's in a sacramental bond. The idea of Fathers for Good is to incorporate a good faithful man into a family."
The Knights' initiative,
, provides information, advice, an interactive forum, a Q-and-A section and other resources to help the "seasoned dad," new dad, dad to be or single guy who wants "to know more about fatherhood."
Matrimony and loyalty to that matrimony is often the first step in building a strong family, according to Slayton and Caulfield.
The troubling statistics about fatherhood, however, come from fathers separated from their families. According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, the consequences of absent fathers are negative factors in poverty, maternal and infant health, crime, teen pregnancy, child abuse, drug abuse, childhood obesity, education, and more.
Slayton has advice for the growing number of estranged fathers. Quoting Winston Churchill's famous words during World War II, he said, "Never, never, never give up."

More than half of Americans oppose the Afghanistan war now, according to a CNN poll released on Tuesday.
The survey showed that about 57 percent of 1,010 Americans polled oppose to the eight-year-old war, the highest level ever, compared to 54 percent in July and 46 percent in April.
It also found that only 40 percent of interviewees said they believed the war is winnable.
The poll was released as President Barack Obama's government was expected to review an assessment report authored by the U.S. top commander in Afghanistan, Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal.
The general said in a statement released on Monday that "the situation in Afghanistan is serious but success is achievable and demands a revised implementation strategy, commitment and resolve, and increased unity of effort."
The assessment, as he said, seeks to implement Obama's strategy "to reduce the capability and will of the insurgents, Al-Qaeda and transnational extremists" as well as develop Afghan forces and improve governance and development.
