Michael C. Lewis Shines On Reflection CD _ Jazz Inside Magazine
Michael C. Lewis is reviewed by Cashbox Magazine
JazzUSA.Com – Your Beacon to Jazz on the Internet since 1996
A Reflective Jazz Album
MICHAEL C. LEWIS/Reflection: Trumpeter with a solid sense of the past and an eye toward the future turns in a solid, smoking contemporary jazz date that is loaded with it's own personality even when you know it's following in Miles' footsteps (lip prints?). With the best of the seventies attitude of jazz/funk at it's core, this is a fine display of chops that have been simmering long enough and are now ready to be served. Easy to enjoy even if you are a lightweight jazzbo looking to get your feet a little wetter.

REVIEW: Michael C. Lewis' "Reflection"
Published July 17th, 2010 at 10:12 pm in Music Reviews
This is one of those massage albums that you'll want to be sure to remain moist for throughout its duration, for anything less would mean chapped hands. Reflection (self-released) is a brilliant album from trumpeter Michael C. Lewis, who at times plays with the unfiltered smoothness of Miles Davis, but he is at his best when he puts the Miles hat on the side and just plays in the key of Lewis. The album is a nice mixture of smooth jazz with some of that quiet storm you know and love, mixing up soulful tones with a solo and walls of synth madness that immediately brings up that vibe you're looking for in a romantic situation.
Arguably, one can just let this album go in the background but I think his playing is worthy of your attention, for while he is more than capable of putting himself on automatic, he doesn't do that. There are a few mid-tempo songs but in this setting they're not as good as the slow jams, yet I would love to hear how he plays in an uptempo setting with capable musicians. The mid-tempo songs only bring forward the fact that the drums and percussion are programmed. I have nothing against them, but with Lewis' style of playing he needs genuine drums to work off of. A necessity, of course not, but this is what I would like to hear, perhaps in future projects.
If it's romance you want, Reflection is the perfect album to suit your needs. If it's fine musicianship from a trumpeter who knows what he's doing, Lewis is your man of the hour.

John Book – This is Book's Music (Jul 17, 2010)
Review: I am not usually a big fan of rhythm programming in music but a good musician with a handful of nice compositions could make overlook it. That is the case with Michael C. Lewis new CD Reflection.
Almost all tracks on this album are originals, in a smooth jazz style, where Michael shows his sensitivity, great tone and technique. The album starts with Reflection (Sunrise), a ballad that perfectly reflects the tranquility of the morning hours. But you will also find upbeat, funky music like In the night time and Gulf Breeze with Wendell Brooks providing some interesting rhythms patterns for Michael melodies and the R&B style of I dedicate my heart. Miles to go, a funk track mixed with a little bit of hip hop.
Michael shows his romantic side on the ballad I need your love and the sensuality of the night on Night Fall. Reflection (Sunset) ends up the album in a relaxing mood, with ideal melodies to listen to after a long stressful day.
Reviewed by: Wilbert Sostre Jazz Times (August 8, 2010)
When I first put this CD in the player and the first notes rang out I would have sworn that I was hearing Herb Alpert's trumpet, from something he recorded and didn't make the grade for the Rise sessions back in the 80s. How wrong could I be, it was of course Michael C Lewis and his opening track, Reflection – a lovely, melodious introduction to the album and the musician. Track two, Gulf Breeze had me thinking of Miles Davis, back in his 'Cool' period. Now, I don't mean to imply that Mr Lewis is a copycat, but his lovely playing does bring back memories of the styles of other musicians, and of course, all musicians are influenced by their elders. With both trumpet and flugal horn Michael C Lewis is a master, he simply weaves magic out of each instrument, and then he goes to prove that he is also an able vocalist, offering soulful vocals on a few tracks. This is one of the most melodic, slightly funky and extremely tasteful jazz albums I have had the pleasure to listen to.
There is something of the funk-jazz of the Crusaders in there too, which adds a velvet sheen to the music – mostly self-compositions, but there are a few covers, like the Carpenters' We've Only Just Begun. I think Reflection has the crossover appeal to attract the soul and jazz audiences, and repeat the success George Benson found when he mixed soul and jazz together. This is a very fine album – seek it out.
The Borderland (Musicwatch Column) UK (August, 2010)
"Showcasing skills to mirror early Miles Davis, Michael C. Lewis is both a student and prophet, clearly showing his passion for the greats while paving the way for future stars to follow in." Christopher Llewellyn Adams Cashbox Magazine

Jazz Artist Michael C. Lewis has music featured on new film starring the Legendary Brian Tracy
Rancho Cucamonga, CA –December 3, 2010—Ever since 'The Secret" was released, motivational speakers have been using film as a new medium to reach their audience. The films feature motivational speakers as themselves. In Brian Tracy' new film "The Journey Movie", Tracy is cast as the character's grandfather. This is Tracy's acting debut. "It was exciting to direct Brian Tracy and watch him bring this character to life. " says Dr. Letitia Wright the film's director. " By adding his personal wisdom and insights on business, we are able to teach key principles without being heavy handed. I used original music from Michael C. Lewis as Brian Tracy's theme in the movie."
Based on an original story by Don Boyer, the film also features Bob Proctor, Nik Halik, Kandee G, Dr. Joe Rubino and Don Boyer as Jonathan. This is Dr. Letitia Wright's debut as a film director. "I have been in the position of producer on films and television before and I was excited to take on this project as director. I wanted to add something new to a genre of movie which had become pedestrian. The Journey Movie takes a different approach with the mix of story telling and information and is something people will enjoy watching."
On working with Brian Tracy, Dr. Wright says "It was a rare opportunity. I don't think he will be doing a lot of film in the future. I am glad I got to be the one to direct his acting debut. I hope in the years to come that this will be seen as a Brian Tracy classic." Previews of the movie had garnered warm The Journey Movie premiers on December 9th at Cinema City Theatres in Anaheim Hills, California. Dr. Wright is currently in pre-production for her next television series called Wright Girls Guide.

Cameron embarrassed by defeat in Europe budget vote
British prime minister David Cameron suffered a major embarrassment last night after Labour united with rebel Conservative MPs to demand cuts in the European Union's budget over the next seven years.
Following days of appeals to Conservative MPs to stay united, a majority of MPs accepted a motion demanding a cut in the EU's budget, rather than the inflation-matching deal that Mr Cameron believes is possible in Brussels talks later this month.
Labour leader Ed Miliband's decision to throw his party's weight behind the rebel Conservatives illustrates the increasingly Eurosceptical debate about the EU now taking place in Britain.
However, it also, perhaps, reflects Mr Miliband's belief that Conservative disunity on the EU can be exploited in the run-up to the 2015 general election in the same way eruptions 20 years ago over Maastricht damaged the Conservatives in voters' eyes.
The European Commission has demanded a £826 billion budget over seven years from 2014 – a five percentage point rise in real terms on the numbers enjoyed from 2007, even though member states are making cutbacks. Shortly before the vote, Number 10 Downing Street quietly accepted it would lose, but added: "Parliament can express a view but the EU budget is not going to be decided by parliament. It's going to be decided by the EU Council."
Last night, Conservative MPs who voted against the Conservatives/Liberal Democrat whip said they had actually strengthened Mr Cameron's hand in advance of the Brussels talks.
Democratic Ulster Unionist MP Nigel Dodds, who supported Conservative MP Mark Reckless's amendment, said the vote was "a wonderful opportunity for the prime minister to take increased bargaining power to Brussels".
Liberal Democrat MP Stephen Williams represented the views of many in the junior coalition party, saying that the Commons had witnessed "naked opportunistic posturing by Labour".
Former Liberal Democrat energy secretary Chris Hulme said Conservative Eurosceptics' real ambition was "to provoke a crisis in the EU", rather than any desire simply to curb Brussels's spending.However, a succession of Conservative and Labour MPs repeatedly said they could not justify extra UK payments to Brussels at a time when public spending is facing its tightest curbs for decades.
Former Labour minister for Europe and Welsh MP Chris Bryant said it was not possible for MPs "to say to our own constituents that they have to live on less money when we are giving more to the EU".
Conservative MP Douglas Carswell, one of those who defied Mr Cameron, said: "This is not about Tory division, or Labour hypocrisy. This is when the House of Commons said enough is enough to the EU/Whitehall elite."
Mr Cameron's position is complicated as he will not stop rises in the EU budget by vetoing a deal, since the existing budget would be rolled over for a year, adjusted for inflation.
However, Mr Reckless said this would be better than acceding to the European Commission's demands, since the commission acknowledged one-year budgeting would cause serious problems.

Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei says it has not been able to strike a deal to sell its new smartphone via a US carrier.
It was widely reported to have been in talks to release its flagship Mate 10 Pro device with AT&T.
But in a letter seen by Reuters, politicians scuppered the deal citing security concerns.
The snub would be the latest example of a Chinese firm struggling to do business in the US.
Last week the US blocked the $1.2bn (£880m) sale of money transfer firm Moneygram to China's Ant Financial, the digital payments arm of Alibaba.
It was the highest profile Chinese deal to be rejected by Washington since Donald Trump came to power.
'Unique challenges'
Huawei's chief executive officer Richard Yu told an audience at the CES tech fair in Las Vegas that plans to tie up with a US carrier "unfortunately" had not come to fruition.
He did not comment on why a deal was not forthcoming, but said it was "a big loss for consumers, because they don't have the best choice for devices," Techcrunch reported.
The Mate 10 Pro – Huawei's main competition against Apple's iPhone and Samsung's high-end handsets – will still be on sale in the US via sites such as Amazon.
But deals with carriers are important in the US because the majority of smartphones are purchased through carriers.
"The US market presents unique challenges for Huawei, and while the Huawei Mate 10 Pro will not be sold by US carriers, we remain committed to this market now and in the future," Huawei said.
According to Reuters, AT&T was pressured to pull out of the deal after 18 members of the US Senate and House intelligence committees signed a letter to regulators expressing concerns about Chinese companies getting involved in US telecoms.
The letter notes worries over "Chinese espionage in general, and Huawei's role in that espionage in particular".
In 2012, a US congressional panel said Chinese telecom firms Huawei and ZTE should be barred from any mergers and acquisitions because the two firms posed a security threat to the US.
Huawei is the world's number three smartphone brand behind Apple and Samsung.

They give a boring meal or sandwich a real kick. I love adding flavour to food and can't find fault with any of Berry King's products - except sometimes it's hard to find."

In a recent speech at a meeting of the Nattional Rifle Associatioin, former vice-president Dick Cheney said that Obama's presidency had been an "unmitigated disaster." This caused me to try to think of disasters for which Obama should be held responsible. One springs to mind immediately: Obama's failure to see that Bush and Cheney were prosecuted for violating anti-torture laws. To see why this is so, read Elizabeth Holtzman's book, Cheating Justice.

Call of Duty WWII not breaking any new ground
Game Review: Call of Duty: WWII (PC/Xbox One/PS4) - 7/10
This year marks the first of an aeon of 14-year cycles, where the Call of Duty franchise repeatedly comes full circle and just releases another World War 2 game because they have completely run out of ideas.
Of course, that is not to say that Call of Duty WWII is a bad game. Of course it isn't, Sledgehammer and all the other developers who have worked on the Call of Duty games have been afforded plenty of time to hone and perfect the workings of the game engine and all have delivered faced-paced and visceral gameplay in some form or another and WWII is no exception.
While the core gameplay may feel wholly familiar, Sledgehammer have messed with the tried-and-tested blueprint in just enough ways to make it a little less fun that the previous installment in the series. Gone is the automatic health regeneration that has remained a series stalwart throughout the last decade, only to be replaced with a new and wholly revolutionary means of health regeneration - health packs.
Another change in gameplay comes through a deeper integration with your team. One squad member can hurl you health packs, while another can toss you a smoke grenade to usher in a mortar strike. This addition in particular makes chaotic gun fights far more frustrating, particularly when you are turning your back to gunfire to try and locate a vital team member.
The entire cast are your archetypical "Easy Company" mishmash of cultures and social backgrounds, cynically engineered to appeal to as many people as possibe. The problem with this approach, however, is that you never really connect with any one character and any deaths tend to fall a little flat, even if they are presented as momentous occasions.
The multiplayer is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from the FPS juggernaut, with one notable exception. War is a rather exciting addition that gives the game a distinctly 'Overwatch' feel. Players can now assume actual roles, such as a sniper, allowing you to master the roles and expectations of each class and therefore allowing new players a much more manageable learning curve.
Call of Duty: WWII certainly isn't breaking any new ground but it goes without saying that the gameplay is as sharp and polished as it ever will be. Everything else, be it the story or the aesthetic is the same utterly bland and meaningless fodder that we ate last year.

Tour du Nord - Stage 2
Stage 2 of the Tour du Nord safely over and done. It's been a tough day in the Lake District but it's all gone very well in spite of it raining for the majority of the day at various intensities, as it always does when I go to Cumbria! I expected to end up walking on Kirkstone and Honister as I am currently running a standard 39/53 chainset when I normally ride a 34/50 compact when riding in this sort of terrain. I'll be fitting the compact before the Tour de France ride as I know I climb comfortably on that gearing in the Alps and Pyrenees.
Anyway, it went better than I expected even on this chainset and I rolled up Kirkstone without any major problems which was good. I thought Honister would stop me but even then I was surprised as I got to just a few yards from the top of the final 25% pitch before deciding it would be better to step off rather than fall off :-) Just walked about 20 yards to the top of that pitch, hopped back on and then trundled up to the top. There are no climbs of anywhere near 25% on the Tour route and I'd have happily got up Honister today on my compact so I'm very encouraged by that, particularly after yesterday's epic. As I mentioned before I much prefer long steady climbs where you can pace yourself, 25% gradients are unusual, thank goodness.
Very pleased with the results of using the Skins recovery compression gear last night. Legs felt better this morning than they would have done without using them. Even towards the end of the ride, which is generally when the fatigue really starts to tell, I was still going pretty well.
Met up with 2 guys, Nicolas and Chris near Windermere, arranged via Twitter, and it was smashing to ride along with them for a few hours. They are both going really well and are in serious training for some long distance events during the Summer, their training is definitely paying off which is excellent. The only photo of the day, above, is of Scott (L), Nicolas (C), and Chris (R), unfortunately it was just too wet to be stopping taking pictures, this one was taken when we paused to refill bottles in Keswick.
So, the second of 2 hard days completed most satisfactorily and a somewhat easier, but not easy, day for tomorrow's stage 3. Tomorrow our destination is Selkirk in Bonnie Scotland, always exciting to make the border crossing. At about the half way point of the ride we will be meeting up with Michelle, Scott's wife, who will be joining us for the remainder of the stage and for Stage 4.
You will see below that the data set is currently incomplete, this is the result of a Garmin system problem I have identified. I tried turning on the Auto Pause function on the Garmin 705 GPS and this has done something to the recorded data which is preventing it being read by WKO+. My mate Mark Liversedge reckons he can extract the data with Golden Cheetah so I'll get onto that when I get home. In an odd way I'm pleased this has happened, this trip is all about trying to shake systems down before the Tour de France ride and I'd much rather this happened now. The data estimates won't be far off at all and I'll update them in due course.
All going according to plan so far, onwards and upwards, on with the Skins before bed :-)

Page 20 - It was particularly the influence of the Christian Church that eventually carried vellum into the front rank of writing materials and in the end displaced papyrus. As papyrus had been the principal material for receiving the thoughts of the pagan world, vellum was to be the great medium for conveying to mankind the literature of the new religion.
Page 23 - Introduction to the New Testament, remarking that " Lost portions of parchment or vellum MSS. are often supplied in paper by some later hand ; but the Codex Leicestrensis is unique in this respect, being composed of a mixture of inferior vellum and worse paper, regularly arranged in the proportion of two parchment to three paper leaves, recurring alternately throughout the volume." Now in these statements we have no clue to the structure of the quire : the Leicester Codex is further not unique either...
Page 21 - ... the material, the oldest being almost invariably described on the thinnest and whitest vellum that could be procured ; while manuscripts of later ages, being usually composed of parchment, are thick, discoloured, and coarsely grained. Thus the Codex Friderico-Augustanus of the fourth century is made of the finest skins of antelopes, the leaves being so large, that a single animal would furnish only two (Tischendorf, Prolegomena, � 1).
Page 36 - ... facing the beginning of the lines, often gave a clue to the direction in which they were meant to be read. As a general rule, the Indo-Europeans wrote from left to right, the Semites from right to left. The Laws of Solon and other Greek writings of that period (about 600 BC) appeared in lines running alternately from right to left and from left to right, as an ox walks in ploughing ; this " ox-turning system " (boustrophedori), however, was soon followed by our present method.

Nail competitors who continue to compete from show to show and year to year deserve special recognition. The NAILS Top Competitors Ranking was developed to honor those competitors. Beginning with the November 1992 NAILS Magazine Show, we've kept a tally of nail competition winners in all major U.S. nail competitions. Each win earns a competitor points on this ranking, and we've ranked the competitors by their total number of points.
We want to thank the main nail competitors who called and made sure we got their wins in the record. We learned that there were a few glitches in our point system, so we plan to score wins a little differently for the 1995 ranking. We will now include in the ranking only first, second, third, and fourth place (sometimes called honorable mention) wins. First will get six points, second five points, third four points, and fourth or honorable mention three points. Be sure to let us know the next time YOU place at a nail competition!
The 1993 and 1994 Top Competitors were honored recently at the NAILS Magazine Show in Las Vegas. The Top 25 competitors received a custom-made T-shirt and a certificate from NAILS Magazine, Here are their final 1994 totals and photos of a few of the top competitors.
You can see a list of all competitors who've placed in NAILS Top 25 Competitors since it was launched in 1994.

The S&P/TSX Composite moved upward 57.94 points to move into noon hour at 15,446.89 The Canadian dollar gained 0.05 cents to 75.72 cents U.S. Shares in Valeant rose 9.1% to $22.14 after the drug maker said it is selling its Dendreon cancer business and three skincare brands for about $2.12 billion as it looks to pay down its more than $30-billion debt. The materials group, which includes precious and base metals miners and fertilizer companies, added strength as copper prices jumped and gold and silver also gained.

Copper prices advanced 3.1% to $5,763 U.S. a tonne On the economic beat, Statistics Canada reported that municipalities issued $7.8 billion worth of building permits in November, down 0.1% from the previous month. The agency said the decline was largely the result of lower construction intentions in Alberta. Meantime, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports housing starts in Canada totaled 198,053 units in December compared to 200,105 in November. The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally-adjusted annual rates of housing starts.

The U.S. stock market has soared since Nov. 8 amid optimism that the incoming administration will deregulate certain sectors, lower corporate taxes and inject fiscal stimulus into the U.S. economy.

17th Cloudreach, 9:42 Dragon
After making way from Rivain, the pirate ship Tygis is battered in a storm while making the long crossing to Ferelden, where they plan to begin raiding along the south coast near Gwaren. The ship is able to limp its way into port at Denerim under an assumed identity for repairs to the sails and hull, letting the crew, including Ilithira and Sol, stretch their legs.
As most people who put into port at Denerim often do, the two women made their way to The Pearl for refreshment and relaxation after their harrowing voyage.
At the same time, Jowan, a young elf mage has made his way out of the Denerim Alienage for the first time. Having heard that the Warden Commander Cousland was in Denerim, Jowan make his way to the Pearl in order to find information on the Warden's whereabouts. It was many years prior that the Warden Commander tore through the Alienage and saved young Jowan and many other Elves from being sold into slavery, and he plans to simply say thanks to the man that saved his life.
Unfortunately, these peaceful actions are quickly to bloody conflict as a group of thugs barge into the Pearl and begin demanding money owed to them from the owner of the bar. They knocked out the owners wife and begin to make moves towards destroying the place, but Ilithira, Sol and Jowan step in and stop them.

While most people attended this year's Roskilde Festival in Denmark to chill with the music and the vibe, photographer Johanna Siring took it one step further. She wanted to document the free-spirited mentality at the festival, which resulted in a project where she shot portraits of strangers before and after kissing them.
The photographer would approach her subject (no matter the gender or race) to take the first portrait and then after she would explain her idea before asking them for a consensual kiss. Amazingly, people drop their consciously created roles and just become themselves. And there might even be a biological explanation to this: "Kissing sparks all the nerve endings in your lips," Johanna explains to i-D magazine, "causing a release of dopamine and a surge in oxytocin. It's an instantaneous stress reliever and creates an immediate emotional bond between two people."
The New York- based Norwegian artist turned these shots into a series called "Kiss of a Stranger," through which she wants to communicate how easily we can connect with new people. "We are all just human beings with the same basic instincts. By creating new relationships and learning about the thoughts and ideas of strangers, we might be able to build bridges and combat ignorance and judgement," Johanna told i-D.

In the first game, a Matt Petty solo homer in the eighth inning put the Bucs on top by a run to take the win. The Bucs (25-14, 8-7 SSC) scored three runs in the second off of singles by Evan Ashley and Chris Leon, a Jack Valdes double, and a Nick Shaw sacrifice fly. Yas Gutierrez sweetened the pot with a solo homerun in the fourth inning.
Tyler King took the win and moves to a perfect 6-0 for the season.
In the second game, the Bucs held a 6-2 lead after the third inning with the help of a Ryan Garcia three-run homer that scored Gutierrez and Petty.

The same bears that predicted a miserable back-to-school season for retailers are forecasting a Scrooge-like holiday season as well. Cramer would normally push back against such reasoning, especially because August and September sales turned out to be good, but there have been a number of mixed earnings reports of late that have him questioning his own confidence.
That's why on Thursday he went to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers CEO Steve Tanger to find out what's going on. By Tanger's account, or at least according to his most recent quarter, business is good. And he operates 31 outlet centers in 21 different states. So if that's the case, can the retail outlook really be all that gloomy?
Cramer wanted an answer to that question, and he hoped Tanger could give it. Watch the video to see the full interview.

On the first day of French Quarter Festival, I tackled my eating the way Noah stocked his ark: two by two. For each pair of dishes that I tasted on Thursday (April 10), I picked my favorite.
Boucherie's 12-Hour Roast Beef Po-Boy ($5; Riverfront – Canal Street)
The Uptown restaurant's po-boy comes on a crusty Dong Phuong roll that's a bit bigger than a large man's fist. The sandwich is big enough to satisfy but not so filling that you can't keep sampling afterwards at other booths. Inside is dripping and piping-hot roast beef. That's topped with horseradish cream, which has a sharp bite, and tangy pickled red onions.
Restaurant R'evolution's Beef Debris Po-Boy ($8; Riverfront – Palm Lawn)
The luxury French Quarter restaurant, a collaboration between Louisiana's John Folse and Chicago's Rick Tramonto, made an upscale take on the classic roast beef po-boy. The beef and the mini-Leidenheimer loaf are traditional. But the slaw on top has a truffled aioli. In the end, though, there was more bread than beef. And the slaw was too tame to add enough interest.
Advantage: Boucherie's 12-Hour Roast Beef
At the 2014 French Quarter Fest there are 70 restaurants selling more food than anyone can try. Which dishes are you hungry to taste?

Four days after aggravating his left hamstring, Yasiel Puig returned to the Dodgers lineup Saturday against the Rockies. Puig missed three consecutive days with the hamstring, but was back in right field against Colorado.
Puig said on Friday he would be able to return the next day, but Mattingly had been less encouraging.
"I was just really waiting for medical more than anything else," Mattingly said. "Medical said, 'Yes.' Stan [Conte, head trainer] just came into the office early and said he was ready to go."
Puig was off to a slow start and actually had been benched April 11, before returning to hit home runs in consecutive games. He's hitting .222 on the season.
Puig's return, however, did not mean Andre Ethier was returning to the bench. Ethier is in left for Carl Crawford, whom Mattingly said was sick.
"Carl's not feeling good," Mattingly said. "Carl's been sick, kinda the stuff we've had, [the Scott] Van Slyke stuff. We've had a little flu -- I don't even know what it is. Something's going around and guys are getting sick. Carl's the one today."
Ethier has started five of the previous six games, going seven for 17 (.412) with three RBI, a double, triple and home run.
"Andre's been able to stay sharp, and he's played well," Mattingly said. "It's just worked out well.
"This is the best he's looked in a while. This is probably the healthiest he's been for the most time."
Mattingly, who grows more careful with the press with each season -- if not by the day -- would not say that has earned Ethier more playing time when everyone is healthy.
"I'm not going to go into any of that," he said. "We're going to play our whole roster. Right now there's plenty of at-bats for everybody. I'm not naming starter or relievers or extras. We're just playing the lineups and going from there."
Saturday's Dodgers lineup:
Puig RF
Adrian Gonzalez 1B
Howie Kendrick 2B
Ethier LF
Juan Uribe 3B
Joc Pederson CF
Zack Grienke P

Animated Videos for Small Business are no longer a luxury. There's a huge tidal wave of video coming. Will your business be left out? Globally, by 2019, Internet VIDEO will be 80% of all consumer Internet traffic. (Cisco Study 2015)
How can your business compete and come out on top?
One solution is to get started with video marketing now.
Ready to get started? .
Check out our services to see which animated video is right for you.
If you like reading as well as watching, here's a few things to think about. Animated video cuts through the daily clutter of advertising and when done tastefully will communicate emotion along with information. We have all been conditioned since childhood that animation is fun, not threatening.
We think it is boring to sit through any one style of animated video. So we always try to use multiple styles to give that "freshness" and "wow" factor. Styles include: whiteboard, motion graphics, cartoon, vector graphics, photos, fast draw, and more.
This question probably should be "who couldn't use animated video". So far we have not found a business or a company that could not be helped by animated video. We think you will agree when you review our samples. The techniques are only limited by imagination.

Kudos to YWCA Salt Lake City, the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics and the Utah women of both parties who will use the Real Women Run program to encourage more women to run for office ("Free training Saturday intended to help more Utah women seek elected office," Jan 11).
2012 is a year of opportunity, coming on the heels of post-census reapportionment and redistricting. With new district lines and many open seats, such years offer the best chance for newcomers to win.
Utah, with its poor record for women's representation, definitely needs more women's voices at the table when critical decisions are being made. That's why, as part of The 2012 project, we're telling women in 2012 — in Utah and across the country — "Don't get mad, get elected."

Some farmers are grumpy.
There are not many ways this grumpiness can be expressed. Fonterra is so big that it's impractical for Directors to interact personally with the 10,000 shareholding farmers. So the main channel is through the Shareholders Council (SHC) which represents the interests of farmers through councillors elected in 35 wards around the country.
This system makes a clear distinction between representation (which occurs through the SHC) and governance (the role of the Board). It should allow us to elect the best directors and keep an eye on their performance. It also creates a clear channel for grumpiness: call your local councillor and get him/her to represent your views further up the food chain.
The main job of the SHC is pretty clear on its webpage:
The Council's key responsibilities include monitoring the performance of the Board on behalf of and representing the views of all Fonterra Shareholders as suppliers, owners and investors. (emphasis added)Contrast that with the view of the new Chairman of the SHC, Duncan Coull, as part of (otherwise sensible) comments on the forthcoming Board elections.
Coull said he was uncomfortable with the council being described as a "watchdog" for the interests of Fonterra's 10,000-or so farmer-owners.I really hope Duncan reconsiders this view, because it makes him sound in awe of the Board and management rather than someone dedicated to representing farmer interests by holding them to account.

WATCH: Why Raymie wants to call Matthew his husband in Tennessee
February 13, 2013
At the beginning of the year, the Campaign for Southern Equality toured across the South performing "We Do" actions, where same-sex couples requested marriage licenses and provoked denials in order to illustrate the discriminatory marriage laws in these states.
LGBT couples in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina took a stand for the freedom to marry in Stage 4 of the campaign, which encompassed more cities and states than ever before.
One of the couples was Matt and Raymie, who have been together for 7 years in Tennessee. After being denied a license, Raymie delivered a rousing, moving speech about why he wants to be able to call Matthew his husband. He said, in part:
We believe that the union that we have together deserves a better term than we have for it right now. When I introduce Matthew, sometimes I call him my partner, and usually, when I use that word, I get a blank stare that asks me to fill in the rest - like what sort of business trade do we own together. That word doesn't seem appropriate.
Sometimes I call him my boyfriend, and the only other boyfriend I've had was someone I dated for a couple of months.
But Matthew and I have been together for seven years. The thing that I call him most is my 'husband,' when I talk about him - we have rings that we had made together. But when I do call him my husband, that is a lie. We're not married. We're not able to marry in this state.
When I think about Mattie, he is someone who supports me like a husband. He's someone who loves me like a husband. And when my father died, he was right beside me - like a husband. We know these things to be self-evident, and that's what we call each other, but at some point, we want the state to recognize that as well so that that is a truth that I can go out and say, and it doesn't have to be a lie.
The action of requesting and being denied a marriage license is a brave step for many of these couples, who live in states with completely unsupportive, discriminatory laws and who often live in unwelcoming, unaccepting communities.
The organization's Executive Director, Rev. Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, spoke with Freedom to Marry before Stage 4 of the campaign kicked off on January 2. She explained the significance of the action, saying, "Through the ritual of approaching a marriage license counter, these couples are doing something that they've been told their whole lives that they have no right to do. I think you can't really underestimate the power of that. When people begin to voluntarily - and with some risk - take action that directly confronts discriminatory laws at the very locus, at the place where they are enforced, something very powerful happens. These discriminatory state laws, which are typically invisible to the general public, are actually enforced, and that's very powerful to witness."

Randy Couture vs. James Toney UFC 118 - MMA vs Boxing - Video + Commentary
|Randy Couture thanking James Toney for the easiest payday of his career with a big warm hug.
"I kind of wanted James to have the complete mixed-martial-arts experience," Couture said.
I don't want to bore anyone with a long diatribe about the comparison between Boxing and MMA, or the lengthy and storied careers of Randy "the Natural" Couture and James "Lights Out" Toney, so I'm just going to bulletpoint a few things I thought were worth mentioning.
- Randy got paid $250k for this. Toney got 500. Was it worth it? Dana White probably thought it was the best wad of cash spent on getting a good laugh after the signing of Kimbo Slice.
- This wasn't just a "MMA vs Boxing" bout. This was a "Former Boxer Champ that doesn't know what a single leg is vs Former MMA Champ who is an awesome wrestler AND has a lot of boxing experience to boot" bout. Having the ability to anticipate and defend against an opponent's strength while being able to exploit a huge gap in his defense against yours = winning game plan.
- More than anything else, I don't think MMA vs. Boxing is a fair comparison, and anyone still riding that boat can suck a tailpipe. This goes down to something that's much more distinct: "Grappling vs People Who Don't Know Anything About Grappling." MMA training can make average-to-decent boxers, but Boxing training sure as shit doesn't make any kind of wrestler. So it's not even comparing apples to oranges, it's comparing an engine to a car- trying to make a comparison is sort of silly when it comes down to the big picture.
- I was almost going to title this post "Going back to UFC 1 in 2010," because of how much it reminded me of how Royce Gracie showed off Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to people who didn't know jack squat about submissions, but I decided against it. Also, comparing the beautiful and uncommon low single that Couture took Toney down with (the foot sleeves Toney was wearing so he could dig in harder into the mat made the low single a viable option, btw) against the Gracie Shuffle is something I just didn't want to do.

As 2018 begins, I'm resharing a post from the past. It's a strategy that remains effective and truly will never grow old. Friend, I pray your year is off to a good start and if you have a strategy, be it old or new, I'd love to hear. So leave a comment with a tip to make this year the best!
From January 2014 -
Another new year is underway; I believe I'm getting older because I really can't believe we've hit 2014. Twenty years ago I was a senior in high school and this date seemed so far away. Back then I really didn't have much of a strategy as a new year unfolded, but perhaps with age I've gained a bit of wisdom. This year I plan to continue using a strategy my pastor shared a few years back and elaborated on this past Sunday.
He preached from 1 Timothy 4:7-8, "Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come." As my pastor shared, God spoke to my heart.
I tend to be one who tries to take care of everyone else and as a Mom of 5, I often have to do this, but God has been reminding me I need to first take care of myself - physically and more importantly spiritually. I've been trying to do this, but I know I can do better. How about you my friend?
In order to do this, I plan to apply the strategy my pastor shared...a 5 Step RMS Plan.
Reorganize My Schedule - If I want to become more like Jesus and grow closer to Christ, I must spend time with Him. I must plan for it to be part of my day because it won't just happen.
Read More Scripture - Friend, if we long to live Godly lives we must know and understand what that is...we need to get into God's Word, so it can get into us!
Read More Slowly - Scripture reading is not meant to be a task on my to-do list, but I'll be honest, sometimes it has been. If our desire is for God's Word to transform us, we must slow down and allow it time to work. This year I long to not just read the words with my eyes, but see them cut to my heart.
Really Meditate Scripturally - Our pastor linked this to a tea bag, we have to soak in God's Word. We have to think and pray about it. We can't just read our Bible in the morning and move on with our day...if we want God's Word to be living and active in our lives, we must think about it continuously and look for opportunities to apply what it says.
Reside More Submissively - I'll admit, I added this RMS because our pastor challenged us to think of one for his closing thought - OBEY! If you and I want to move towards godliness we must not only read God's Word and meditate on it, we must do it!! There are many commands in Scripture...ones God has given with expectation of us living them out. We must live in submission to Him and His Word.
It's only the 2nd day of the year and I've already failed, but I pray God tenders my heart and gives me the desire to persevere and the ability to get up when I fall, because I will. Friend, I pray He will do the same for you!!

The National Park Service (NPS) is accepting comments on its proposals for the supplemental General Management Plan (GMP) for Biscayne National Park. Your comments are due by October 10, 2014. The NPS is presently considering three options on how it will govern the park for years to come.
One of the remaining proposals is Alternative 4 which will ban recreational fishing in the park across a 10,000 acre marine reserve, significantly limiting recreational boating, fishing and tourism related businesses and activities in South Florida. CCA Florida opposes Alternative 4.

The National Park Service (NPS) is still finalizing its supplemental General Management Plan (GMP) for Biscayne National Park. It has taken us several years to get to this point and the process is now dependent on the input of local residents, businesses and stakeholders.
NPS is presently considering multiple options on how to govern the park for years to come—one of which (Alternative 4) would ban recreational fishing in the park across a 10,000 acre marine reserve, significantly limiting recreational boating, fishing and tourism related businesses and activities in South Florida.

Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council
2203 N Lois Avenue
Suite 1100
Tampa, Florida 33607 USA
Dear Chairman Boyd,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Reef Fish Amendment 40 – Sector Separation. Coastal Conservation Association has been involved in federal fisheries management since the 1980s and has rarely witnessed such a relentless manipulation of the federal fisheries management process to secure extraordinary rights for a select portion of the fishery.
South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council Public Comment ends at 5pm on August 18
Regarding the transferability of Dolphin and Wahoo filets into the US EEZ from the Bahamas
Dolphin Wahoo Amendment 7 and Snapper Grouper Amendment 33
CCA believes that the SAFMC should make the federal dolphin and wahoo regulations consistent with the existing federal reef fish regulations with regard to the possession, transportation and landing of Dolphin and Wahoo legally caught under Bahamian regulations and brought into the US EEZ. Under existing regulations, Snapper and Grouper are able to be brought back into the United States filleted, but Dolphin and Wahoo are required to be landed with the head and fins intact. CCA urges the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council to modify current regulations to allow dolphin and wahoo that have been legally caught in the Bahamas to be transported from and landed in the United States filleted and with two (2) filets being counted as one fish. CCA also urges the Council to define "stowed fishing gear" as "unrigged fishing gear," as this would be a common-sense solution for the numerous center consoles that transit back from the Bahamas.
People often ask why recreational anglers have such an adversarial relationship with the federal fisheries management system, and the answer is as simple as it is obvious. The National Marine Fisheries Service was created to assist and promote the domestic commercial fishing industry. Period. Only relatively recently did NMFS even begin to acknowledge a recreational component.
It is in the agency's DNA to be a partner and collaborator with commercial fishing interests. Who is in the White House – Republican, Democrat or Other – doesn't matter because the bureaucratic heritage at the agency never changes. You may get a new head of the Department of Commerce or a new administrator for NMFS, but the core pro-commercial mindset buried deep in the agency itself is virtually untouchable. Regional council members come and go, but federal and council staffers are the omnipresent architects of federal fisheries policy, crafting (or not crafting, as the case may be) the analysis and options that guide the councils on complicated matters.
Chaos reigns at Gulf Council
Gulf Council's own Red Snapper Advisory Panel rejects sector separation
TAMPA, FL (7-30-14) – Even as the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council fast-tracks a highly controversial plan to break the recreational red snapper fishery into private boat anglers and charter/for-hire operators, the Council's own Red Snapper Advisory Panel voted today to reject the concept entirely.
Gulf Red Snapper Recreational Fishing Workshops will be held this month
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wants to hear from you!
They are asking how to better manage the recreational fishery. Some of the topics will include Sector Separation, Individual Fishing Quota's, and Regional Management.
Public Hearing Locations
All hearings will start at 6pm
July 28: Pensacola, Pensacola City Hall (2nd-floor Hagler Mason room), 222 W. Main St.
July 29: Destin, Destin Community Center, 101 Stahlman Ave.
July 30: Panama City, Florida State University – Panama City, lecture hall of Holley Center, 4750 Collegiate Drive
July 31: Carrabelle, Carrabelle City Hall cafeteria, 1001 Gray Ave.
Aug. 11: St. Petersburg, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, 3rd-floor conference room, 100 Eighth Ave. SE.
CCA believes sector separation is simply a continuation of policies that address the symptoms of failed management without offering solutions that work for all components of the fishery. By creating an entirely new sector using only suspect past catch history, federal managers are just repeating the mistakes of the past and catering to the least economically beneficial aspects of the fishery. Under the current proposal, specific charter/for-hire operators could receive 54% of the recreational Red Snapper quota, while private anglers will likely not have a federal season at all as soon as next year.
Individual fishing quota's (IFQ's) give a public resource to an individual business to use as its own. IFQs will further privatize the red snapper fishery, 51 percent of which is already held privately by commercial harvesters. IFQs are expressly designed to reduce capacity. Once implemented, it is inevitable that the charter/for-hire industry will begin radical consolidation, further reducing access to this public resource. IFQs are a commercial management tool that has no business in a mixed-use fishery. Should a fundamentally flawed federal management system be allowed to privatize public resources that benefit some user groups and penalize others?
Regional Management is an option that would allow the states to tailor the management of marine resources like red snapper beyond state waters. Unlike the federal system, the states have shown a superior ability to manage wildlife resources for the greatest benefit of their citizens and have shown a much greater understanding of recreational fisheries. Regional management would allow each state to determine how best to manage its natural resources using the tools that have worked so well for species such as red drum, speckled trout, and snook.

Day – 29-33 or 1-5 of the official LBL challenge!
- Breakfasts: oats and orange peel, as per the norm…
- Lunches: usually left over dinners
- Snacks: the regular cold cooked potatoes, yams and corn bread one day
- Dinners: combo of the following… lentils, rice, pasta, couscous, kale, pasta sauce and a few flavours of onion soups, chicken broth and taco seasoning
It was by far the easiest week of cooking and eating as I was based in one place for a whole week and with another partner in crime who also was doing the challenge for a month. So we pooled costs and ate simply but well.
The official week of Live Below the Line was just fantastic – so nice to be joined but over 10,000 others around the world in this amazing campaign. I was also very fortunate to be doing it out of the Global Poverty Project USA office in New York.
It is my first time in New York and it is a very distinct place, culture and way of life. I have continued to walk a lot, walking to the office and back at least a 16km round trip and soaking up everything around me with the LBL perspective.
There was one major highlight from the week. I had a unique and thrilling opportunity to give a live streamed presentation on Google + Hangouts on Air at the Google office on Thursday going out around the world to anyone tuned in. If you missed it, bad luck (or maybe good luck!), but the filmed Q&A session is available with some great questions and hopefully decent answers – http://www.globalpovertyproject.com/pages/lblhangout
I will save the next blog for how I ended my Live Below the Line journey as I think it was pretty cool and in totally New York style.
A huge congratulations to all the people who took part in the week and I know they will have received a lot of perspective, insight, reflection and hopefully lots of resolve from the week!

Pippi Longstocking
Music and Lyrics by Sebastian
Adapted for the stage by Sebastian and Staffan Götestam
Based on the novel by Astrid Lindgren
Pippi Longstocking: The Family Musical is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
No school, no parents, no bedtime or rules. With her mom in the clouds and her dad at sea, Pippi's on her own to live as she pleases. A girl of indomitable strength and fierce independence, Pippi quickly befriends neighbor kids and delights in playing games that confound authorities. Anything can, and will, be put to rhythm and rhyme as she bucks the system and dances away any blues. She takes center stage in the circus, wrestles the strongman, outwits burglars and dodges the orphanage. While friends Tommy and Annika love Pippi and her outlandish existence, the local adults want her to conform to their rules.

Press Release: Pippi Longstocking The Family Musical
Active Audience Guide: Pippi Longstocking
While Pippi Longstocking awaits her pirate father's return from the sea, she takes up residence in the long vacant house he bought for her many years ago. She settles in with her horse, her monkey Mr. Nelson and a suitcase full of gold coins. The neighbor kids, Tommy and Annika, are delighted to see the house is occupied again, and amazed to discover Pippi lives there without adults.
As Pippi beguiles the kids with tall tales and talks of wordly travels, a woman from the local orphanage approaches. With a personality to match her name, Mrs. Prysselius tries to explain why Pippi should come with her. Claiming she doesn't need to go to an orphanage because she already lives in her own "children's home," Pippi's actions simply bewilder the woman who leaves in a state of disbelief.
Everything's a game without rules to Pippi, as Tommy and Annika introduce Pippi to new experiences. First, it's the circus, where Pippi quickly joins the center ring to ride the horse and wrestle the strongman. Back at home, Pippi befuddles would-be thieves then gives them a gold coin for their troubles. Next Constables Cling and Clang try to take Pippi in, but she simply leads them in a game of hide-and-seek, with the policemen ending up on Pippi's roof without a ladder to get down.
Pippi's innocent-hearted antics continue as she makes a guest appearance at Tommy and Annika's school. There, her uninhibited behavior and lack of knowledge or interest in academics flusters the teacher. Pippi simply doesn't know or care about rules, conventions or manners. Her inappropriate conduct is even less appreciated when she's a guest at the neighbor's tea party. She dreams of her father's return and just when the authorities seem to be catching up with Pippi, Captain Longstocking re-appears.

The panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States will get one hour to ask President Bush what he knew about events leading up to the suicide airline hijackings, the White House said on Friday. "They are looking at an hour as you pointed out," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said when asked by a reporter whether he could confirm reports that Bush was limiting the meeting to an hour.
CRAWFORD, Tex., Aug. 6 -- By the time President Bush returns to Washington on Labor Day after the longest presidential vacation in 32 years, he will have spent all or part of 54 days since the inauguration at his parched but beloved ranch. That's almost a quarter of his presidency.Throw in four days last month at his parents' seaside estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and 38 full or partial days at the presidential retreat at Camp David, and Bush will have spent 42 percent of his presidency at vacation spots or en route.
TECHNICAL CLARIFICATION: In our initial post, we calculated in haste. We were too favorable to Bush! We figured 42% of the time from inaguration to August 6 (the date of the article) and came up with 1975 hours Bush was "at vacation spots or en route". But Mike Allen was reporting that Bush will have been away 42% of the time by Labor Day of that year, which was September 3. That comes out to 2278 hours .
Rather than sitting down with all 10 members of the so-called 9/11 commission, Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have only agreed to meet privately with its chairman, Thomas Kean, and the vice chairman, Lee Hamilton.

'America's Got Talent' Comedian Preacher Lawson Hilariously Describes Being Catfished
Preacher Lawson is definitely one of the funniest comedians we've seen on America's Got Talent, so it's no surprise that he made it to the Top 36!
The 26-year-old stand-up comedian told a hilarious story about how he was catfished online, and now the woman is his girlfriend.
Preacher said that the woman was not deceptive about her looks, but about the fact that she walks with a limp.
"So I met this girl online, she was very pretty. I met her in person, she was just as pretty. That's not how she got me. The way she got me was when she walks, she kind of has a limp," Preacher said. "Which is cool. I don't care if you got a limp, but like, put it in your profile somewhere! Like, I love long walks on the beach, but it's hard for me because my leg's jacked up."

Salary, interest payment, power subsidy swallow 82% of Punjab revenue
Punjab's committed expenditure,including salary, pension, interest payments and power subsidy continue to take up over 80% of the revenues, leaving lesser funds to spend on development activities.chandigarh Updated: Jul 17, 2014 18:47 IST
Punjab's committed expenditure,including salary, pension, interest payments and power subsidy continue to take up over 80% of the revenues, leaving lesser funds to spend on development activities.
In the state Budget which was presented on Wednesday by Punjab finance minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa at State Assembly, committed expenditure including salary, wages, pension benefits, interest payment and power subsidy on borrowings will account for 82.27 per cent of state's total revenue receipts during 2014-15.
The expenditure on salary, wages, pension benefits has been projected at Rs 23,258 crore, while interest payment on debt are projected at Rs 8,380 crore for current fiscal, as per budget documents.
Punjab FM projected total revenue receipts and revenue expenditure of Rs 44,894 crore and Rs 49,146 crore respectively for current fiscal, as per state budget.
Despite drawing criticism from several quarters, including experts for giving free power to farm sector, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and BJP led state government continued to stick to this populist measure as it has projected power subsidy bill to the tune of Rs 5,300 crore for 2014-15.
Punjab government has been doling out free power to 10 lakh farmer families and up to 200 units of free power to 5 lakh BPL and 18 lakh SC families in the state.
The subsidy bill on account of free power had gone up from Rs 2,543 crore in 2007-08 to Rs 5,300 crore (Budget Estimates) in 2014-15.
Having not been able to contain its burgeoning expenditure, the state's committee expenditure has been on higher side.
Punjab's committed expenditure as percentage of revenue receipts was 79.71 per cent in 2009-10, 100.86 per cent in 2010-11, 84.56 per cent in 2011-12, 89.09 per cent in 2011-12, 80.44 per cent in 2012-13 and 80 per cent in 2013-14.
With higher share of funds swallowed by committed expenditure, the state has not been able to spend as much as it had targeted on development.
The state government had projected to spend Rs 27,062 crore on development (including social services, economic services and compensation to local bodies) in 2012-13 but as per revised estimates, development expenditure shrunk to Rs 22,096 crore.
In 2013-14, state projected development expenditure of Rs 30,621 crore but as per revised estimates, it went down to Rs 28,065 crore.
Dhindsa has blamed high level of outstanding debt, declining share of central taxes, implementation of pay commission report for not being able to adhere to targets of 13th finance commission.

To which services and resources does the Access this computer from the network user right actually control access? Windows documentation on this right is nothing more than a wordy restatement of the user right's name and gives the impression that without this right you can't access the computer by any remote means. But that doesn't seem to be the case. My tests seem to show that you don't need this right to log on via Terminal Services, for instance.
Despite the broad-sounding name, the Access this computer from the network user right applies only to the Server service and the resources it provides. The Server service primarily provides remote access to files and printers but also provides remote access to the resources you see in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Computer Management snap-in, including event logs, shared folders, local users and groups, logical disk management, and applications that use named pipes. However the Access this computer from the network user right has no effect on services such as World Wide Web Publishing, Telnet, and Terminal Services. To control access to these services, you must implement security settings specific to each service as necessary. For instance, to control who can connect via Telnet, you need to create a local group called TelnetClients and populate it with your authorized users. When a user tries to connect to Telnet, Windows checks for the existence of TelnetClients. If the group exists, Windows verifies that the user trying to log on belongs to the group.
To control who can connect via Terminal Services, Windows Server 2003 has the new user right Allow logon through Terminal Services. On Windows 2000 Server, you must control Terminal Services logons through connection object permissions. See the Web-exclusive article "Terminal Services, Part 3," March 2001, InstantDoc ID 20145, for more details about connection objects. The Remote Registry service provides network access to the registry, and Windows uses the permissions on the HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg subkey to determine who can connect to the registry remotely. For more information about the Remote Registry service, see the Web-exclusive article "Dangerous Services, Part 1," December 2000, InstantDoc ID 16301.


text: Correction to all you ignorant ppl out there, my father may be many things but a pimp he is not. Fact is I have NEVER seen this lady consistently at this church! There shouldn't be secret meetings held in church because a Pastor wants to lead his sheep the RIGHT WAY. Traditions are for those ppl who don't want to change PERIOD! He has taken care of many ppl at that church, often times coming homeblate because he's at the hospital praying for the sick, picking up ppl at the airport, giving money to those is need, and is also a Chaplain for the Colorado Fire Department! If someone got kicked out of a church, it was becuz they were doing things behind his back and doing things he had no business doing. Negative ppl need to get weeded out! Point blank period. Know the person before you make judgements, which is not Christlike anyway! Grow up! And let go of these sorry traditions. He doesn't have to steal ANYTHING from those ppl. the same ppl that were against him were the same ppl that chose him to lead them. Now they no longer get their say in that church now they want him out. Shame on you!

For three years now we have started planning for a Sweden trip, but ended up twice in Wales or Scotland instead. This year it shall be it, though I'll start believing it when I've bought the Camping Key Europe card and the ferry tickets…
The corner posts are
- Travemünde-Trelleborg as ferry entry point
- BRIO lekoseum in Osby
- Öland with Eketorp castle and a glass blower workshop
- Astrid Lindgren's world in Vimmerby
- Stockholm with the Vasa
- lakes Vänern/Vättern
- Göta canal (Göta älv)
- Copenhagen
- Legoland in Billund
We have done a similar trip in 2009 with the children, though they were too little to remember too many details. In 2003 we had a quite different trip that involved only cycling and no children yet. As usual we will be camping with the adventure bus, and will be bringing our bikes for local trips. This time we are thinking about doing a longer bicycle trip (about 3 days) along the western part of the Göta canal, the Göta älv.
The route would roughly look like this in Google maps. Hey, it's just a first sketch. For all we know we may end up in Cumbria after all!
When we took up planning for the UK, the children were quite happy with Für Eltern verboten: Großbritannien: Der cool verrückte Reiseführer (the German version of Not for Parents, a child-friendly guide by the Lonely Planet). So obviously we looked for Not for Parents Sweden this time. Alas, it wasn't written yet! We may have to do just that.
