to be honest I was excited to see the newest entry in the Marvel series.
I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to follow the story of this short film considering that I've never seen any of the other 100 films in the series. luckily this movie spent the first 45 minutes introducing its characters with narration and on-screen text ala bad 70's crime movies (or more recently suicide squad). but that proved to be more distracting than annoying.
I was also a little thrown off by the last minute recasting of the titular character Black Panther, who ended up being played by Christopher Plummer. the last minute change required a lot of reshoots and makes the overall film look a little choppy.
ever more distracting than the recasting was the strange CGI they used to remove all of Mr. Plummer's hair. Chris was contractually obligated to keep his full head of hair because of his involvement with the newest Tom Cruise movie (The Mummy 2: Mummy Harder).
technical aspects aside, the overall plot of the film was subpar. it was almost as if this movie belonged to a completely separate franchise, and all the Marvel bits were tacked on later to make it fit with their cinematic universe. for example, the surprise cameo of Lou Ferrigno as Hulk came out of left field, even though it was welcomed by fans.
the film ends on a confusing note as T'Challa is killed and his regime overthrown by killmonger. luckily for fans who stayed for the post-credit scene, we catch a glimpse of the black panther being revived and joining forces with Thanos, setting up an exciting premise for the next Marvel installment.

Late last month, local volunteer Wendi Eliason got a surprise when she showed up for some hours with Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency's Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).
AEOA volunteer coordinator Nancy Frischmann presented her with a plaque signed by former President Barack Obama for the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award. Since she started volunteering with RSVP in 2009, Eliason has volunteered more than 4,700 hours for a variety of area organizations from the Waterfront Center in Two Harbors, Lake County Mental Health Task Force and North Shore Horizons to Community Partners, the Lake Superior School District Head Start program and the Two Harbors Area Food Shelf.
"Wendi is a different kind of volunteer," Frischmann said. "Wendi is a great example. She is almost like a professional volunteer because she has served so many different agencies."
Eliason said her life as a volunteer started when her oldest son was 10 and dealing with some mental health issues. She had been in an abusive marriage while she was pregnant with her son, now 25, and she left the situation while still pregnant. However, she believes the stress of the relationship and leaving the situation led to an in utero stroke for her son that has led to a number of different physical and mental problems.
A friend told Eliason about the Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health annual conference in St. Paul and suggested it could benefit her son and her family.
"It was very expensive, about $300 for three days, so I found out that if you volunteered, you could go for free. Now it is something that I do every year," Eliason said. "In 2006, I was asked to be a part of a mental health advisory committee. I got more and more involved as time went on."
Since that time, Eliason's volunteer work has blossomed at numerous organizations around Lake County and she has demonstrated a talent for organizing and project management.
"Wendi is completely reliable and amazing at follow through with projects and schedules," THAFS director Michelle Miller said. "She always knows where and whom to go to get things accomplished."
Eliason believes she has a gift for helping others and to contribute to the local community. She didn't start volunteering seeking recognition, she was trying to help her son and found a talent and a passion that she wants to share.
"I definitely don't do this for the pat on the back," she said. "I was in an abusive situation but leaving, it just opened me up to the fact that I care about people tremendously, and I want everyone to have resources. Knowing what it felt like when that conference became available to us, I want to make that possible for other people."
Her experience in that abusive relationship also led her to North Shore Horizons and helping others who were in a similar situation and have made the decision to get out.
"A lot of times, when you've been abused, it is the nights that are the hardest," Eliason said. "So being with somebody that is going through that, you can have a special connection that nobody else can understand."
And while she wasn't seeking recognition for her work, Eliason has discovered another benefit to her volunteer work, she tends to know a lot more people in town these days.
"When I go to the grocery store, I see all of these people I know," she said. "I call myself a 'knowbody' because I know people. One of the benefits of this volunteering is getting to know so many people and getting to talk to them. Just knowing people that I never would have known before has helped validate me on who I really was before I got into an abusive relationship and who I was after."
At the end of the day, however, it's not about getting to know people, awards or other recognitions, it's about having the ability and the will to try make the local community a better place, one hour at a time.
"She feels called to serve," Frischmann said. "She needs to serve other people. To be humble, give of her time and make a difference in the community is what is important to her. She's just one of those people who truly is a servant."

Dear Dear Mr Broad.....or Perspectives on loosey goosey hips and making safety sensational! And to my yoga friends.....a response to some of the issues raised in Mr Broad's recent article
So Mr Broad, science writer of the NYT has done it again. And this time, there is some smoke to his fire and brimstone. Not to dismiss his other rants and alarm bells on yoga safety as pure poppy cock but many of us plain, ordinary run of the mill yoga teachers wish he had other "experts" , wiser teachers and some decent body mind anatomy gurus to consult on some of his saner and more logical claims.
Much of what he has said in his book is – my personal opinion – clouded by the fact that his sources are part of the endemic safety problem, which I see as systematised, repetitive positions that have little heritage in yoga and don't fit into any reasonable definition of the word "yoga". More training, wiser training he bleets!– absolutely, but let's not just add fuel to the fire because those that train or are held as educational experts don't necessarily understand why these issues are arising. More men showing up in emergency rooms because of yoga!, Oh my heart bleeds for them. Could it not be that these particular characters overdid it in a macho sort of way and are not used to taking care of themselves other than scream "emergency!". That particular article created much amused third eye rolling among more experienced and mellow women and men practitioners.
But I digress. And I do not want you to dismiss some of the information that he presents in his newest article in the New York Times. The hip, SI issue in women and some men has been a concern of many of us over the last 2 decades. There is a bizarre denial in copyrighted yoga about the relationship to certain ways of practicing and its long term impact on hip joints. But I hasten to say certain types of repetitive, sytematised practice that, for example, overuse standing poses and surya namaskar sequences. Many of us believe that it's more particularly the intention and the attention that is applied in yoga asana practice that is the root of the issue. One can easily create problem poses. How many times did I have to undo the damage done by Mr Broads' accusations around the demon pose parsvokanasana for terrified individual yogis? After reading his first article/book these folks felt that they were doomed to lower back pain if they even attempted this relatively innocuous and often quite helpful pose. If practiced with clarity of intention, anatomical understanding and kindness, this pose although not a very old one in yoga text terms, can actually help relieve back pain and support healthy joints.
But our problem is with the dim-witted way we limit ourselves to a myopic understanding of the body by seeing it in terms of poses and performance and constantly moving it out of a bigger context of yoga history and as an evolving human bi-ped in the 21st century. Nowhere is this better put in context than by Emily Conrad, creator of Continuum Movement, who has always expressed doubts about the way some of our unconscious gymnastic interpretation of yoga is harming us.
My concern has always been with the ingenious ways we become self-limiting; and how all our various cultures define the parameters of what is knowable. Western culture, in particular, has brought about the industrialization of the body, with a devastating and alienating effect. For us, mechanical, repetitive movement is accepted as desirable, and this mechanization lies at the core of how we live and describe our world. Does this have any connection to a flowing vital process called a human being, whose form is based on the movement of water?
Iain MacGilchrist – literary scholar, psychiatrist and philosopher – would probably concur with this portrayal of our disembodied 21st century existence in his recent book called the Master and his Emissary, a must for those who are unravelling the myths around embodiment in an overly left brain dominant yoga world. In this industrialization of the body, and with our dwarfed right hemispheres, we lack the contextual, ambiguous, visceral connection of a more balanced hemispheric orientation. The consequence is that much of our exercise motif is about control and domination of the body not respect, enquiry and understanding.
I include myself in this tendency in earlier decades, and have lived in fear that I would be heading for an inevitable early hip replacement after my years in the Iyengar world in the 70s and 80s. We did some pretty nutty things with our bodies in those days in the spirit of exploration. Not necessarily what BKS ordered but in the spirit of enquiry and youth, we stood on each others femurs, did standing poses til we would almost faint, forced forward bends in the ridiculous pursuit of...... I am not really sure what! You could say perhaps that youthful zest could have been chanelled into more destructive pursuits and you could also say that there was then, and there has continued to be major progress and discoveries in some areas of yoga anatomy and alignment in these communities. However, this hip issue is not being sufficiently addressed.
In the last 20 years, there have been many, many early hip replacements in this community and others, and endless amounts of SI dysfunction especially among – although not confined to- noodlier women who push themselves muscularly and intensely. For many years, in workshops I have talked about this as a 3rd chakra imbalance and often find a hardness and pushing quality around the kidneys and adrenals in hard core Iyengar, Anusara and much Vinyasa flow and Ashtanga practitioners. It was only meditation and some common sense regarding alignment gleaned from other movement modalities* and my own practice, that lead me to understand that this driven way of doing yoga was entirely unnecessary and excessively unkind. (I do have many friends in the above systems who have an exquisite understanding of the joints but they tend to be on the edges of the system and not towing the entire party line)
Part of our industrial view of the body is the assumption that "one size fits all" – Paul Grilley debunks this myth clearly in relation to hips in his Anatomy of Yoga DVD. He shows how the structure and angle of the femur head and neck differs radically in individuals and makes it simply impossible to cultivate a uniform degree of flexibility in say paschimottanasana no matter how much attention is paid to the usual restrictions of hamstring, rotators and psoas. Bone just grinds bone.
On the other hand Mr Grilley's Yin yoga and its encouragement to "hang on the joints" (my language and interpretation) causes its own set of grievances along with some undoubted charms. Once again, when something is systematized or copyrighted we need to educate ourselves to watch out for warning signals. In much of our yoga education, we put a tremendous amount of faith in the man or woman at the front of the room who "knows" instead of fostering a receptivity, a sense of self responsibility and a dialogue with our interior worlds. As Gilchrist says, the left brain is the Berlusconi voice in the body and for many in our westernised society (and not only in the West which has an enormous number of the most excellent of yoga teachers), we just love a loud voice who contains us and directs us. This is compounded by the fact that many of us sit all day, are hooked up to various technological devices and havent a clue where our left foot or right foot is most of the time. We come to yoga, inert, passive and wanting to be shaken and stirred. Loud clear voices and intense muscle-oriented poses have a great allure.
One of the poses implicated as guilty in the hip debacle article is tadasana. Why tadasana? More to the point - How tadasana? This standing position has as many variants as the number of stars in terms of how it is taught, many of them conducive to a sense of integrity, groundedness and balance. However when the tailbone is encouraged to descend – note, I don't even say tuck, but descend – all manner of problems arise over the years in the pelvis, particularly the female pelvis. This is a subject that truly upsets me (Can you sense me bouncing up and down on said hip joints as I write this!) as I meet student after student who has distorted their natural pelvis in an attempt to live upto someone else's ideal of the pose or their strange notion of bipedal posture. This accompanied by overworking the gluteus muscles and gripping in the tailbone area creates a weird kind of battle between groin and sacrum and shifts the body into a muscularly controlled position rather than a bone and breath oriented place of ease. From here, it's usually a few weeks or a few years away from SI instability and grinding in the hip joints. When the basis of this pose is then transferred into standing poses and other postures, it's amazing there aren't even more hip injuries and complaints.
Recently in Cuba, we were having a discussion along these lines and I encouraged folks not to adopt systems of yoga that compromise their natural latino posture, (another form of commercialised colonialism in my not so humble opinion), not to tuck the tail bone and to actually allow belly and butt to be released from westernised cultural biases and tyranny. A student came upto me and hugged me very hard. – They love hugging in Cuba! " Thankyou" she said. "My teacher keeps telling me to lengthen my tailbone and says my hips will feel better – they don't! they never have, neither does my back when I follow his instructions, but now I have it confirmed that the way I naturally stand, which feels great, is actually OK......Thank you"
We have to remember that most of our popular standing poses were evolved by men primarily for men and do not accommodate the female pelvis which is usually larger and broader in relation to the base of support. Constantly asking students to put heel in line with arch or heel in line with heel, can create problems for some women. Skilful use of the inner body and core can mitigate some of the distortion and torque on the pelvis but in a ubiquitous pose like triangle, jamming on both the front and back hip and tension in the SI joint is very de rigeur! This can be compounded by over use of the muscular structure around pelvis and femur, especially the rotators and thighs, creating a situation where the muscles are in battle with the bones. I don't buy Mr Broads references or his (seemingly one and only)l teacher source Michaelle Edward's to more muscular buttock support as being the answer to this issue - too often its part of the problem.
Triangle is my bete noir. It's not a beginners pose, it requires a sophiscated understanding of the body and it does proportionately much more damage to women than men whose pelvises are narrower and generally more stable. Generally – as I have heard of several men who have had early hip replacements who I know were on a steady and intense daily diet of triangle poses. Learning to sense the joint space and tap into it, breathe into it as if that space is its own oracle is one way to prevent compression in this pose but this requires a willingness to embrace the subtle and let go of the desire to dominate or control the body. Even throwing out some of the retarded instructions that students have taken as gospel for years like – "Imagine yourself between 2 planes of glass" "Kick the hips to the side" and simply doing the poses with less frequency and more enquiry and imagination would go a long way to prevent much of the damage that is currently being done. Until relatively recently, students were/are often advised to keep the pelvis completely even in triangle pose which is not kinesiologically desirable or possible. The stress will inevitably end up in the hip joint or the SI or even in the torque of the knee, or all 3 places!
Ironically the poses that Broad managed to make students quake at the thought of, in his book -inverted poses - are actually excellent for balancing the hips and supporting the joints from underneath. These poses require skill, experience and sensitivity to teach but these are some of the greatest gifts to us from the yoga asana practice, and have helped many women gymnasts and dancers regain stability and sensitivity in damaged hips as part of a wholistic asana practice. Many students with whiplash, heart and eye conditions, neck and shoulder problems may never be able to do the more traditional inverted poses but some form of elevating the legs, turning things upside down, and taking the weight off the hip joints in our sedentary, left brain heavy world is if not essential, very desirable.
So let us cultivate a practice that honours the being and does not attack the pose either with inner vim and vigor or with harsh and simplistic external critiques. Let's take some of this information not as just another splash of statistics and go deeper, do some serious research and fez upto the fact that we need to find a kinder more curious ways to take care of the pelvis, evolve as 21st century bipeds, and explore this ancient and ever-changing practice. Can we see it as a way of living, pursuing truth, not a series of random poses some of which have become holy cows without any real justification?
Mr Broad, thank you for using your post as science correspondent of the prestigious NYT to alert people to the hip issues. In future, please talk to a wider sweep of teachers and practitioners before you start sending the yoga bejesuz out into the mainstream. I am going to have to deal with another swollen inbox after your recent article. There are a lot of wise beings out there that you seem to never consult. Is this your role in life to stir things up without adequate information and with an intent to titillate, or even to put people off yoga all together?
Mary has been teaching yoga since 1985 nationally and internationally and working with the Cuban yoga community since 1998. She is currently relieved to see that in a recent xray her hips are still in reasonable nick despite the damage done in youth through her initial approach to yoga and many other things besides. Mary wishes to apologise to her early students for too many triangles and not enough common sense. www.maryyoga.com
* So here are some of the folks that have been incredibly helpful to me and a generation of yoga teachers
– Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten who challenged many of the premises of systematized left brain yoga and saved me – from myself!
- Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen whose Body Mind Centering has done just that! and her work on developmental movement is an essential study for would be and current yoga teachers http://www.bodymindcentering.com
- Moshe Feldenkrais and specificially his work in the pelvis
- Andrea Olsen and her wonderful work in dance and experiential anatomy including her more recent books on evolutionary/ecological anatomy.
- Thomas Myers and his Anatomy Trains has helped us move to a more complete, intelligent understanding of movement and could greatly enhance -along with Andrea -the anatomy sections of our current yoga teacher trainings.
- Some of the earlier Pilates explorers (late 80s – early 90s) like Lynne Uretsky, who combined sophisticated somatic work with their understanding of inner core support. Now its more of a mixed bag in terms of what is offered in pilates instruction. Seek the multifaceted teachers out!
- Emily Conrad as quoted above http://www.continuummovement.com
- Postural work of yoga teachers Francois Rouault, Jean Couch, Angelika Thusius and many, many more.......
and all the many marvellous teachers and practitioners out there across this country and the world who day by day do their practice, investigate and share, treating themselves and their students with the same respect, humility and kindness as the great gurus of yoga's ancient past.

Every single one of us remembers the dreaded first day to high school. The butterflies in your stomach the shear fear of the upperclassman and the uncertainty of what is ahead of us.
The day you enter high school is generally nerve racking and confusing and causes a lot of anxiety for the incoming students. You become the low man on the totem pole and are attempting to find your niche amongst the chaos. The first day comes with many trials and tribulations for a freshman, you must find the new classrooms, meet the new teachers, figure out your schedule, and of course your locker.
The structure may be different from Junior High and that alone can cause some issues. You are thrust into a schedule for your day and expected to adjust flawlessly and already know how to manage your time and be everywhere on time and prepared like you have been doing this forever. This generally does not happen, but you need to breathe because you are not the only one and you will not be the last to be tardy on the first day.
Teachers are forgiving in the beginning understanding that you have never been in this building before and that you are not a natural navigator of your new surroundings.
When entering into a new place do not hesitate to ask for help, you never know the person you ask where the bathroom is may become a great friend. Another word of advice that should be considered if your school offers electives. Try to take a class that any grade can be involved in such as art or drama.
When you surround yourself with other classmates other than the same ones since kindergarten you expand your social network and may find yourself blossoming as an individual. The older classmates have a lot of knowledge of the building, the classes, and the teachers and most of the time they are willing to pass it on to the underclassman.
The fear that is experienced by many freshmen is very common, but who is going to tell a thirteen or fourteen year old that everything is going to be fine when they are like their fellow classmates just plain afraid and thinking that they are the only one who is feeling that way.
Everything is new for them and trying to master passing times, figuring out and remembering your code to your locker can be overwhelming, but what this writer remembers the most is the dreaded lunch block. Standing in this large and loud room holding your lunch tray and then it hits you "where do I sit?" Very scary for most freshmen this can decide a lot for you, it can determine your social standing by what table and with whom you sit with. Try not to worry find the familiar faces and band together; if anything it should bring some calm during the storm for you.
The first day feels like the worst day for any small fish in what seems like the vastest pond in the world, but once you become comfortable with your schedule, your friends, your evil locker, and your status within the lunch room the days become easier and the stress and anxiety drift away.
When the first day is over you can go home relax see that you have made it out alive and will live to see a new day. Always remember that feeling so that one day when you become the big fish you can pass on your knowledge to some nervous freshmen on their first day.

Driven for Success at TOC
Many of us love motorsport, but having a passion for the sport is one thing, jumping into the nail-biting scenes itself is another story. For former champion of the Tanzania National Rally Championship, Prettam Gandamal, walking the talk came naturally. "I love racing, it is in my blood. I love the sound of the throttle and how it shakes the earth, the chance to push myself to be faster than others and the rush of adrenalin I get every time during a race! It can only be described as raw power!" he professed. "Of course brilliant wins are not without their nervy moments," he went on. "There can be tricky conditions when it starts to rain and you have to handle the curves on the slippery track. Other challenges include losing temperature in the tyres and not really knowing how much you can push in each corner."
After several attempts of trying to uphold the image of Tanzania National Rally Championship (TNRC), Prettam's hard work finally paid off when he was crowned as the champion in 2008. Thus began Prettam's journey in his automotive career. Having completed his secondary education to a mechanical level, he used to help his dad at their family workshop, which specialized in servicing big diesel cars such as Land Rovers. However, Prettam was not satisfied with the skills and knowledge he had and hence enrolled in The Otomotif College (TOC) to sharpen his skills and to get to know more about the newest technology in the automotive world.
"I wanted to be exposed to more cars such as vehicles from the Europe or Japan. Home is still home and I have plans to return to Tanzania to develop my family workshop by upgrading the services provided," shared Prettam.
Prettam expressed his excitement when he saw that TOC had bought 20 different Asian and European car models for students to learn from and to be exposed to the different technologies. With this, TOC graduates are familiar with the usage of high technology electronics and other technologies incorporated into the well-known, high quality brands today.
"It was actually pretty amazing how easily I adjusted to life in Malaysia. The food is so tasty and the people are friendly. I got used to campus life easily with the assistance of TOC's helpful student services personnel," smiled Prettam.
Currently, around 15% of TOC's students come from overseas and this number continues to grow year on year, with students arriving from across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and North America. This is very unique for an automotive institution where both Malaysian and international students interact with one another to gain a better understanding of the world at large.
TOC, with its own career development centre, has successfully placed 100% of TOC's qualified graduates into career-starting jobs since 2007. With a growing network of more than 800 industry-related companies, TOC provides valuable practical training opportunities for all their students. The college also takes pride in the high demand for TOC graduates throughout the automotive and motorsport industry.
"I remember a particularly memorable incident when I got to work solo on a brand new BMW 7-series FO2 that had just come from the manufacturer," recalled Prettam who was placed in BMW for his Supervised Industrial Training (SIT). The car enthusiast went on to say that the Malaysian German team had tried to diagnose the problem with the car for quite a number of days. In the end, they had to go online to get technical support all the way from Germany. "I was given the opportunity to take the entire engine apart and dismantle it from scratch. This was exciting for me as I would be the first person ever in the Malaysian Auto Bavaria branch to touch the engine and to take it out of the car. I was proud that they had faith in me to get this job done." he declared.
Prettam continued to say that his Supervised Industrial Training was indeed the best experience he ever had and he always looked forward to the training experience.
"I never missed a day as I was so motivated to learn something new every day. I took it upon myself to overcome all the challenges that came along my way and I felt a great sense of achievement whenever I solved a problem," he said. "It is really important to have enough hands-on training in this field as we will be on our own when we graduate and no one can help us all the time," Prettam explained further.
"I feel blessed that TOC is the official Training Centre for Citroen's after-sales professionals from Hong Kong and ASEAN countries. With this partnership of FMTCCT (Franco-Malaysian-Training-Centre-Citroen-The Otomotif College), TOC is fortunate to receive complimentary cars, necessary equipments and diagnostic tools from Citroen for students and instructors to supplement our learning and training.
"Those who are interested in pursuing a career in automotive technology or motorsport should definitely come over and visit TOC in the process of making up their mind. I have made my choice and have never looked back since," said Prettam.
Established in 2005, TOC has grown by leaps and bounds to its current local and international student population of about 1300 at its Petaling Jaya campus. TOC students benefit from the cutting-edge facilities, top grade trainers, technologically advanced equipment and software besides a guaranteed career placement and development. The college's dedication to providing the best automotive education is reflected in the millions of Ringgit spent on the sophisticated software, high end branded equipment and state-of-the-art facilities such as autotronics laboratory, chassis dynamometer, Electude (an online automotive diagnostic program), engine simulators, diagnostic tools and so on. TOC upgrades their training facilities constantly with additional training aids and simulators, besides buying new vehicles for in-college practical training.
Besides their main campus in Petaling Jaya, TOC has offices in Penang and Sabah to provide detailed information about automotive courses, careers, and our unique lifetime job placement. For the newly opened Penang office at Kristal Suites, Bayan Lepas, call 04-640 2867. Sabahans can visit the office at Kompleks Asia City or call 088-488 950.
To ensure that students make well-informed decisions TOC organizes the OTTO Camp (Open Day) to show to use some of the sophisticated equipment and see first-hand how they work. Prospective students and parents will be able to catch a glimpse into the exciting automotive world at the upcoming OTTO Camp at our Petaling Jaya campus on March 19, 2011 from 10.00am-4.00pm. Due to high demand, students must call 03-7955 2811 to register for the limited seats.

As a nod of approval to his rising popularity, O'Shea teamed up with Mercedes-Benz and fashion blogger Jayne Min to explore the fine art of selfie taking for Fashion Week. The parody clip which has O'Shea playing the master of selfies was directed by Parachutes and takes narcism to odd new places.
It's also damn funny too with the Australian style icon playing a philosopher and self-proclaimed 'Selfie Specialist'.
Watch and learn.

For some church leaders, baptism is an option for new disciples. Not for me.
I led a young man to Christ a year ago and began taking him through the Seven Commands of Christ.
Study one: Repent and believe. All good.
Study two: Be baptised. His response —
"Do you mean I would have to be a real Christian? If I get baptised would I have to stop sleeping around, and tell everyone I was a Christian?"
I hadn't raised either of those issues with him. I just took him to the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, and told him Jesus commanded his disciples to be baptised.
Gary wasn't willing to learn to obey Jesus' command to be baptized. The issue isn't just baptism, it's learning to obey. That's why baptism is important and why every church planting movement I know of baptizes new believers without delay.
Why? Because that is the clear command of Christ and the only NT pattern.
Baptism is not a reward for Christian maturity. You don't wait until someone is "ready" or "mature." That is the antithesis of what baptism is all about.

Why is it that every holiday includes foods that are dyed with artificial ingredients. I know, it's fun to eat food that matches your favorite holiday, but I really don't want to add artificial food coloring to my food. Thankfully, this edible Halloween craft – bloody eyeballs – has no artificial coloring at all.

Edible Halloween Craft – Bloody Eyeballs
I'm part of a group of bloggers that get together once a month to remake a pin we found on Pinterest to make it our own. I was intrigued by this pin for Bloody Eggs, but when I clicked through I realized that the ingredients used weren't ones I could find in my small Vermont town.
I've seen Bloody Eggs made in the past with food dye, but I don't want to put that in my food. After a bit of experimenting, I realized that I can do the same thing with cranberry juice. If you don't want to use cranberry juice, you can also use this natural food coloring.

Ford Motor Co. has made it clear it has interest in taking over the Michigan Central Station in Detroit's Corktown. An announcement is expected in mid-June.
So could this be the first move?
One of the Moroun family's real estate companies quietly transferred ownership of the station to a mystery company last week, reports Chad Livengood of Crain's Detroit Business.
A warranty deed dated May 22 was recorded May 23 by the Wayne County Register of Deeds, transferring ownership from the Moroun-owned MCS Crown Land Development Co. LLC to New Investment Properties I LLC, property records obtained by Crain's show.
On the same day, the Moroun company also transferred ownership of the former Detroit Public Schools book depository building next to the depot to a separate entity called New Investment Properties II LLC.
The deed records list the address for both New Investment Properties entities as the New York law firm Phillips Lytle LLP. The firm did not have immediate comment, Livengood writes.

Trump : A Frightful Year
The first year of Donald Trump's administration was like his troubled, hurried, and yet successful businesses: always a reason for news and fierce criticism.
That same turbulent personality figure found himself leading one of the most powerful countries in the world, and one can see the impact, risk and fluctuation involved in the arch-billionaire's first year in the White House.
For now, Trump is treading lightly because his actions could prompt a federal government shutdown since the Senate didn't approve the federal budget.
Incendiary remarks wouldn't be a problem for a businessman or a TV star, but they are a problem when a president of an influential nation is involved.
Ever since the campaign, his arrogance was questionable, but it is clear now that he sought votes to fulfill his goal of destroying everything left by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
The first controversy arose with his hostile position on Mexico and an obsession with completing the wall; two immigration issues as well as the abuse of Latinos and immigrants in this country without documentation. His international policy has been all over the place. From the tension in relation to Cuba (a relationship that was improved by Obama) to declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel, he comes up with some remark to set off sparks every time. His evident inability to compromise in an effort to ease global warming has generated tension; his convoluted treatment of North Korea keeps the world in suspense.
The title of a controversial book called "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," describes the pulse of the first convulsive year of his term, although, as Santiago Estrella, this newspaper's journalist responsible for the international section, explained in IDEAS last Sunday after reading it, the book is no big deal. Still, it contains anecdotes about an administration that will be characterized by an abundance of scandals and extraordinary controversy.

We hid some others over the years, but they've never been as successful, mostly due to flooding. We've hidden two on pedestrian bridges - underneath with magnets, but unfortunately the creeks around here flood and recede leaving us unsuccessful.
This spring we are creating a geocache series in a local trail park. There are over 8 miles of trail and we are confident that we'll find plenty of opportunities! With that in mind, I set out to create our caches. I like to do things differently so I brainstormed some crazy hiding places. Here is what we designed...
|Did I mention I love camo tape?
It didn't feel right making the incision....
but it was the only way to hide a film canister inside.
We'll see if we can find a place to hid him in the woods!

Successful Entrepreneurship
Confronting Economic Theory with Empirical Practice
C. Mirjam van Praag
Chapter 4: Risk Aversion and the Choice for Entrepreneurship
C. Mirjam van Praag
Introduction It is common knowledge that the rewards of entrepreneurship are more variable and less certain than the wages of employment. This stylized fact has been based on substantial empirical support (for instance in de Wit, 1993). A logical consequence should be that individuals with a relatively low degree of risk aversion are more likely to opt for entrepreneurship as opposed to wage employment. This view was held by classic authors like Cantillon (1755), Say (1803) and Knight (1921). More recently it has surfaced in models of occupational choice by Kanbur (1979), Kihlstrom and Laffont (1979) and Blanchflower and Oswald (1998). Nevertheless, this widely accepted effect of risk aversion discouraging people from entrepreneurship has never been put to an empirical test. I assume that this omission is mainly due to a lack of sample surveys in which a direct individual measure of risk aversion (and entrepreneurship history) is recorded.1 In this chapter I discuss the results from a first attempt to fill this gap by means of a sample survey constructed for this purpose (second section). It contains sufficient information of occupational histories of approximately 1700 individuals along with their evaluations of a specified lottery and other explanatory variables. The answers to the lottery evaluation result in a snapshot proxy of individual attitudes towards risk. From this, we derive from utility theory an empirical measure of both absolute risk aversion as well as relative risk aversion (third section). These empirical measures are subsequently inserted into...

2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Changes, Release Date & Price
Here We Write About 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Concept With v8 Engine Features, Changes, Specs Performance, Price, & Release Date.
To discover middle ground between its off-road-ready TRD Professional models and its average SUVs, Toyota is including two brand-new trims into the 2019 Toyota 4Runner that the TRD offroad and TRD off road Premium. The new models bring more design and features to the already-capable SUV.
Both 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD off-road models have the Multi-Terrain Select system and Crawl Control app standard, which are provided as an elective added on the existing SR5 edition. The Multi-Terrain system lets the vehicle driver pick a way to match terrain difficulties, while the Crawl Control app utilizes the SUs throttle and brakes to maintain a consistent rate over surface. Both models could be equipped with the optional Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System that increases wheel traveling at reduced rates for higher Off Roading prowess.
Along with one of these functions, the 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD offroad models gain from bespoke badges on the C-Pillar and floor mats. Both SUVs ride-on concave seven-spoke alloy wheels, while red TRD sewing is plainly shown on the front head rests.
The 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro design, which will undoubtedly rollover primarily the same besides a new paint shade, is fitted with TRD Bilstein shocks, TRD-tune front springtimes, and 17-inch matte-black TRD wheels in order to help it to stand out from the new designs.
The Toyota 4Runner is really a dinosaur, a truck-like bodyonframe SUV in a global of car-based crossovers. That implies the 4Runner is no further the large seller it when was, yet in addition, it indicates this Toyota is respectable off the roadway.
Toyota is highlighting those off road capacities with the brand new 2019 TRD offroad version. It essentially replaces in 201s Route version, and slots in listed below the even more hardcore TRD Pro in the 4-runner schedule. 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, incidentally, means Toyota Racing Advancement. Thas Toyots motor sport department, plus possesses many off road race triumphes to its credit rating.
Such as the majority of modernday off roaders, the 4Runner TRD off road obtains numerous gizmos as a way to help vehicle drivers bargain hard surface. The Multi-Terrain Select system enables the chauffeur to correct the vehicls actions for various conditions using a knob on the control panel. An electronic-locking straight back differential helps handle power, and in addition Toyots Crawl Control system can help care for rate. It works like low-speed cruise-ship control, keeping a frequent rate minus the motorist the need to touch the throttle or brakes.
On side walk, it restrains human anatomy roll for far superior handling. Offroad, it allows extra wheel traveling to simply help the 4-runner climb over obstacles, instead of smash in to them. KDSS also manages wheel slip, enabling even more where it is advantageous, as well as less where it ist really.
2019 Toyota 4 Runner Interior
Toyota will use the 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD offroad in both standard and Premium trim degrees. Interior modifications contain fake carbon fiber trim on the center console, and in addition floor mats with theTRD Off-Roa badge. Premium versions obtain the same badge stitched straight in to front head rests also.
The Toyota 4Runner is furnished with Toyots Star Security System, which features lorry security control, traction control, four wheel anti-lock brakes, digital brake-pressure blood supply and in addition brake aid. Driver, front traveler and in addition driver and passenger side and in addition knee air bags are basic, along with a drape airbag for several rows. The Mini Mal design provides the Safety Attach system, which includes emergency situation help, taken lorry locator, road side assistance as well as automated accident notification. Solution is free for 12 months from acquisition.
The 2019 4-runner got a four-star total basic safety score from the NHTSA, with a four-star ranking inside the frontal accident test, a first class score in side influence, as well as three superstars within the rollover test. The 2016 version received a high score of Good from the IIHS inside the modest front overlap, side impact, roof covering toughness and head restraint as well as seat examinations, and a Low score within the tiny overlap front test.
2019 Toyota 4 Runner Engine Specs
The 2019 Toyota 4 Runner is provided in a variety of trim degrees, beginning with the SR5, the SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, and TRD Pro models. All versions are powered with a 4.0 L 270-hp v6 mated to a five rate automated transmission. Even though similar in dimension to the Highlander mid size crossover, the 4Runner has a plainly different mission in life, satisfying those searching for a greater amount of off road capacity. To that end, the 4Runner offers Toyots Crawl Control feature aiding to preserve a frequent rate in difficult off road circumstances, regulating engine and in addition braking force within five driver-selectable low-speed settings. The optional Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) helps with expanded wheel traveling for increased off road control and in addition stability.
The 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro off road employs the specific same powertrain as each 4-runner model. A 4.0-liter V6 creates 270 horsepower and in addition 278 pound-feet of torque, which is sent out to all four wheels through a five-speed automated transmission. The 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD offroad goes on sale later this year; rates will certainly be introduced closer to the on sale date.
The 2019 Toyota 4Runner is a standard body on frame mid-size SUV related to the Tacoma mid size truck, the worldwide Land Cruiser Prado, and U.S.-market Lexus GX. Five-passenger chairs is fundamental, with an optional 3rd row bringing full capacity to 7. The SUV is offered in back- or 4WD arrangements and in addition the normal powertrain is really a 4.0-liter 270-hp v6 mated to your five-speed transmission.
2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Release Date and Price
Both new TRD off road versions will certainly be contributed to the 2019 4Runnes brand new lineup, which include the SR5, SR5 Costs, Limited, as well as TRD Pro. Charges for the designs will be introduced down the road next year.

Review: The Face Shop Natural Sun Eco Sebum Control Hydrating Sun Cream. Gosh, that's a long one to remember!
If there was one piece of advice I would give my younger self it would be this – don't be reckless, always wear sunscreen. I have extremely sensitive skin prone to redness, allergies and severe tanning with sun exposure – and, it is because of this sensitive nature of my skin, that no sunscreen ever (no matter how expensive) suited me. Sunscreens almost always broke me out or gave me an unpleasant reaction of some kind. After trying a new one and facing hell, I would stop trying to look for my ideal sunscreen. A few months would go by and something somewhere would remind me of how careless I was being with my skin care and I would go fishing once again – and the saga continued.
Six months ago, I got lucky. After trying skin care from The Face Shop (read my reviews here), I was tempted to try their sebum control sunscreen that had some raving reviews from Indian as well as international consumers. The pricing was steep but this time I was determined to find my sunscreen soul mate. And bless my stars, from the day that it arrived at my doorstop, it's been a love affair made in heaven. This tube of goodness has reaffirmed my faith in the value of perseverance.
Call me crazy, but on days when I feel frivolous, I apply this sunscreen generously as a moisturizer all over my face and neck (and hands). Then I just sit down and take in the smell of summer and sunflowers.
Getting to the real stuff real quick (a bit too late for that huh?) – this sunscreen is all that it claims to be and more. It is a light-weight, white, creamy lotion with a faint, lingering scent of sunflower fields. All you need is a pea-sized amount to cover the face and neck area. It absorbs instantly, doesn't leave behind a white cast or any sticky, oily residue. You get a very good quantity (100 ml) for the amount you pay and can be sure that it's going to last you a while. The packaging is sturdy (and pretty, like everything from the brand), but no smaller sizes are available in India currently, which is a shame as you can't carry such a big one in your handbag (in case you need to reapply or are going on a sunny vacation).
The sunscreen has sunflower sprout extracts that hydrate the skin and provide long-lasting protection from sun exposure. The SPF 40 PA+++ provides optimum sunblock, helps in pore care and controls the formation of wrinkles. The no-shine formula is a blessing for girls with oily skin. The product is cruelty free and claims to be waterproof (though I wouldn't recommend jumping into the pool on a first date with anything that says waterproof on it).
All the theory aside, if you had to try one skin care product from the brand it ought to be this one (or the Chia Seed Hydrating Toner – read my review here).
For all you girls feeling distressed with trying to find good skin care for sensitive skin types, it might be worth your while (and your pennies) to try The Face Shop. They seem to be hastily progressing into my top 5 favourite beauty brands of 2018 (that retail in India). Until next time, XOXO

There isn't much Jayde Van Dyk didn't achieve in 2018.
At the Lambert Pearce Medal night a month ago, the Hawthorn defender's evening began with her winning the league's Rising Star award.
The 22-year-old then found herself on stage again soon after, this time being selected in the back pocket of the Team of the Year.
Less than a fortnight later, Van Dyk had a medallion draped around her neck after winning the 2018 premiership with her Hawthorn teammates.
Finally, her season was capped off with one of footy's highest honours, named the best and fairest player in a premiership-winning season, as she held off teammates Rebecca Beeson, Meg Hutchins and Emma Mackie in a tight count.
Read: All the votes from the VFLW best and fairest
But this latest accolade may not be the final chapter of Van Dyk's illustrious year.
In fact, if you subscribe to the widely-held belief that Van Dyk is set to be taken at Pick 1 at the AFLW Draft on October 23, the best could still be yet to come.
Hawthorn VFLW Coach Patrick Hill is a firm believer and says that his premiership star is a deserving first selection.
"I think she is almost the complete player," Hill said.
"On pure talent alone, I think she stacks up against anyone.
"So, why wouldn't you go after someone like Jayde?"
Hill says Van Dyk is a natural defender, who can play as an attacking half-back or in a shutdown role on a variety of shapes and sizes.
She was one of Hawthorn's premier ball-users this season, while also rarely losing a contest in the air.
Among her fellow premiership teammates, the likes of Emily Gilder, Chantella Perera, Ebony Nixon, Tahni Nestor and Olivia Flanagan have also had significant interest ahead of the draft.
As is the reality of being a successful side, AFLW clubs will likely be circling, looking to enlist players that helped propel the side from third-last in 2017 to premiers 12 months later.
This is a notion that Hill says the club is well-prepared for.
"We'd still hope to get some of them back, but we'd probably be naïve to think we could get them all back.
"VFLW contracts are all only one year, so there is no guarantees and we know that.
"But the girls love playing here, and I think there is a really good bond throughout the playing group."

"An ethic unshaped by eschatology is neither Jesus' nor Christian." - Tremper Longman
How does an immature culture grow up? Edgar Wright's Baby Driver is about the dangers of being lost in adolescence. By the end of the movie, the viewer is pointed to a road we infer leads to maturity, but only after a cinematically stunning tour de force. The imbedded rhythm of the film sweeps one along from scene to scene. The score follows the script—or vice versa—ebbing and flowing in and out of dialog, music, and car chases choreographed like masterful dance numbers.
The title star, "Baby," is the best getaway driver this side of the Mississippi. Working for a man he owes (deftly played by Kevin Spacey), Baby speeds one crew after another to safety following each bank heist.
Baby has been living the Billy the Kid life since his mother and father were killed in a car wreck. Baby survives the crash, albeit with scars which he sees in the mirror and hears in his head. His tinnitus explains his ever-present ear buds, which helps drown out the ringing in his ears through a series of arduously arranged playlists.
As becomes evident, Baby is unable to mature beyond the accident. His independence on the road only accentuates the obvious fact that his whole life is one of unhealthy dependence upon his parents. He's still a child, still a baby; his identity fundamentally defined vis-à-vis his mom and dad. His parent's relationship was confrontational, he's pacifistic—letting Jamie Foxx's character abuse him with no recourse; his dad was a bad driver, he became a good driver; his mother sang, he lives in a musical world; she was a waitress, he can be found in her old diner day in and day out like a boy lost at a carnival returning to the last ride where he saw his parent.
Defining immaturity as dependence is a callback to an older era, matching the mid-century feel of the whole production. If Wright were trying to name a problem with our age, making Baby a prototype for overly dependent Millennials, he wouldn't be alone in his diagnosis. In his new book The Vanishing American Adult, Ben Sasse likewise sees the Achilles heel of the coming generation as their over reliance on others.
Following Jeffery Arnett's work on adolescence, Sasse uses the term, "self-focused age," referring to a time in life "when there are few real responsibilities, few 'daily obligations,' limited 'commitments to others.' In a stage when young people were once supposed to learn to 'stand alone as a self-sufficient person,' they find themselves increasingly paralyzed by over-choice." Put frankly, "Our kids simply don't know what an adult is anymore - or how to become one. Many don't even see a reason to try." Thus, Millennials are trapped in perpetual adolescence; a decadent, morbidly self-gratifying state in which one consumes more than contributes.
The crux of Sasse's advice is simple, "roll up your sleeves!" His own daughter, as an example, spent a summer working on a ranch, learning life lessons about hard work, responsibility, and self-reliance. She takes ownership of her own life, her own actions, her own income. This is also the lesson Baby has to learn.
In the climactic scene in which Baby is running away from the law with his lover, he surprisingly surrenders. He throws the key to the car off a bridge, lifts his hands, goes to court, then prison, and serves his time. With his ear buds out and his cars impounded, he confronts life for himself, taking responsibility for his actions. He makes a new life, which may not be as glamorous as his old, but is his nonetheless.
The movie ends ambiguously in a black and white shot with Baby's girlfriend picking him up in a vintage car, wearing a poodle skirt, seeming to embody the romance and innocence of 1950's Americana. Whether this scene is a fantasy is left to interpretation, but the implication is clear: if only Baby could go back to a time before he was born, before his parents were born, then he could gain complete independence from his and their sins.
Sasse also wants us to go back, "Many Americans coming of age today don't understand the country they're inheriting." So let's get back to our roots, argues Sasse. Let's throw the keys off the bridge, live within our means, make an honest living, and get to know the American experiment in which we find ourselves. To go forward, we actually need to go backward, as Baby did.
Back to where? To which age? Sasse is clear not only in his book, but in his media appearances and speeches as well: "American exceptionalism is a claim about what happened in the American founding, and if we don't understand why the American founding was extraordinary, you can be sure that our kids won't understand why America is extraordinary." Sasse's remedy is tied up in what he calls "civic catechesis;" an immersion in the primary sources of American liberty.
To be sure, America's founding was extraordinary, and we would be fools not to retrieve wisdom from any and every age. Yet, I'm sensitive of the temptation to make any bygone era the cure-all for our modern ills. When I hear sentiments akin to "Make America Great Again," I always question: even if we could go back twenty years or two hundred years, what would keep the exact same problems from coming back again? For example, might there be a connection between those today that believe they can choose their own gender and those of yesteryear who prioritized the individual's will? This is not meant to be a slight upon the founding fathers, only an admission of the obvious: maturity is found by going to the future, not the past.
It's incumbent upon the church, now more than ever, to be a beacon of such forward-looking maturity, a witness not to some golden age of the past, but to the age to come. This passage from Moby Dick offers a clarion call:
"The pulpit is ever this earth's foremost part; all the rest comes in its rear; the pulpit leads the world... Yes, the world's a ship on its passage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow."
Too often, the pulpit assumes a lesser place on the ship of society. Rather than casting a fresh vision of human flourishing, we look to the past with rose-colored glasses, believing if we could only go back we'd do it differently, we'd do it right; we'd stay the course.
None of this is to say either Baby Driver or The Vanishing American Adult are inherently flawed; only that, given our current political mood, both can be wrongly used to justify a wistful, naïve understanding of perpetual adolescence's cause and remedy. Christians must balk against any idea that our salvation will come driving a 1950's Cadillac or a 1770's chariot. Through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, the future is invading the present. Maturity lies ahead, not behind.

my friend and mentor John Wayne set me a little challenge: to write about myself and who I am…without mentioning any others.
to speak about just myself only was more challenging than i expected.
a part of me resists this deeply.
i realised that for a long time i have been living life through others - attaching my importance and sense of identity to other people. perhaps a direct result of growing up as a twin…
so (gulp), here goes. this is who I AM…
- an adventurer and explorer - i am at my happiest when travelling. from jumping on a plane to journeying outside of time and space to new dimensions of consciousness, exploring new places and realms connects me with innocence - and fills me with awe and wonder.
- a pleasure, freedom and joy seeker - i navigate life based on what lights me up and makes me feel great and the child within jump and down with pure joy.
- an alchemist - i do my best to dive into pain with courage and openness, finding the light within and turning the density into gold.
- a scientist and inventor - i love reading all things scientific about consciousness, spirituality and human evolution, and my life is an endless laboratory in which i formulate new tools, methods and systems for personal and collective evolution.
- a shaman - i am a worker of spirit, with a deep soul connection with the unseen spirit world and my invisible guides and teachers. i listen, i learn, i am led and have been challenged many times to stay true to my path even when everything seemed against me.
- a writer and a poet - i integrate, rebalance and find clarity through writing. when i write i enter a timeless space of words, thoughts and wisdom and connect to higher places of consciousness.
- a dancer - i am my most joyous, most expanded and most alive and aligned with spirit when i am in movement - and especially when dancing. but i also love any form of movement and bodyweight training.
- an artist and creator - my heart leads the way as i pour my creativity into my life, home, work, etc. when i get out of my own way, i find the sheer joy and awesomeness of flow happening through me.
- a photographer and filmmaker - i am most in flow when i have a camera in my hand. the world speaks to me, calling me to capture its beauty and grandiosity in all of its essence
- a visionary and change-maker - with a calling and longing to make the world a better place and to create a New Earth based on love and wisdom and interconnectedness.
- a teacher and speaker - i love sharing what i learn through my own experience, work and research. finding ways to package it up and shared wisdom in a fun and grounded way truly lights me up.
- a student - i am a constant learner and grower. i love and devour books, courses and wisdom from my coaches, mentors and the wise sages around me.
- a lightworker - staying in connection with the light of spirit is a priority: i do what is needed to bring it forth with joy and bliss - and to invite it to shine it in my most uncomfortable places.
- a friend, a son, a brother, a lover - with a heart full of love for my family, community, humanity and planet.
- a coach and mentor - to myself first and foremost, reflecting and adjusting my practices and life as i go.
these different parts dance within
sometimes they flow
sometimes they crash
some take the lead
and some stay behind
as i write i feel my love for all aspects
like old friends
ancient archetypal forces
an ocean of many faces
a recipe of many colours
today my heart is full of gratitude and awe
for this recipe
of ME

Through ten years of war, grief and rage, Queen Clytemnestra lies in wait for her husband Agamemnon's return, determined to avenge one child, only to doom the others. The sole surviving trilogy in Greek tragedy, The Oresteia chronicles a deluge of violence that can only be stopped when society peers into its own soul and sees the depths of its complicity. Playwright Ellen McLaughlin (The Persians) has written a new version of the classic, commissioned by STC. Her play, three years in the making, weaves together the works of Aeschylus with stunning poetry and emotional heft. An epic, world-premiere interpretation of this pillar of western culture, The Oresteia makes a fitting end to Michael Kahn's tenure as Artistic Director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company.

The ECS is set up for lipo right?
Do I need anything besides the batteries?
I've seen that Lipo might over heat the motor so some people have put fans on them.
Is that required?
I don't want to cook my motor, but I also have a newer one and the threads I saw before were for older tenton's so I don't know if that makes a difference.
