Best/Worst Book to Movie Adaptations7 min read
I think what defines a good book-to-movie adaptation is different for everyone. Some people want a film to stick as closely to the plot as possible, others are just happy if the movie manages to stick to the author's intentions. For me, I think it's all about capturing the same tone/atmosphere as the book. If I cried at the book, I want to cry at the film too. And as much as I know it's near impossible to stick exactly to the book's plot and not miss anything out, I don't appreciate films changing major elements of the original novel.
Before you read my best and worst book-to-movie adaptations, I would like to say that I always recommend reading the book before watching the film! It's good to know how the author actually intended the story to be portrayed, so even if you actually end up preferring the film, at least you know how it has been changed.
Me Before You
This story is mainly narrated by Louisa Clark, a twenty-six-year-old who finds herself out of a job; in trying to find a new one, she meets Will Traynor, an adventure lover who was involved in an accident two years earlier and as a result is now a quadriplegic. Their personalities and upbringings could not be more different, but as they are forced to spend time together, they discover they have a lot more in common than they initially thought. When I read this book, I absolutely fell in love with Moyes' writing; the romance, and heart-break were both enchanting in equal measures. I really loved both the main characters, and their relationship, and the tone of the whole novel was just heart-warming. And the film, for me, captured exactly the same atmosphere. I think Emilia Clarke's portrayal of Louisa was brilliant, she really captured her quirkiness perfectly and never sacrificed that by trying to be stereotypical. In the same way, Sam Clafin's performance as Will was both dignified and a very believable portrayal of someone struggling with such a difficult situation. The film made me laugh, and most importantly, made my heart full – would definitely recommend watching it!
The Light Between Oceans
This was one of my favourite books of 2017. I love books set in this time (early 20th century) and just the setting of the novel was absolutely stunning. I actually only found out about the book when I watched the film trailer, saw that it was based on a novel, and immediately got myself a copy. The novel centres on Tom and Isabel, who fall in love after Tom comes home from WWI, and live on a remote island so Tom can carry out his duties as a lighthouse keeper. When they find a newborn baby washed up on shore, having suffered many miscarriages, they have to decide whether to adopt her, or try to find her real mother. This book, for me, was heart-breaking, and as much as I didn't agree with all the decisions made in the book, it was easy to see how desperation, and pain, can lead a person to make them. Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender were both enchanting as Tom and Isabel; they portrayed their fraught relationship, but unwavering love for each other, perfectly. The plot didn't differ too much from the book either, which is always a big plus. So overall, it just ticked every box the book did, which really, is the best outcome you can hope for.
The Fault in our Stars
I think most people will agree that both this book and this film are incredible. I don't read a lot of YA, but this is one of the few YA books which I adore. It centres on two people, Gus and Hazel, who meet in a cancer therapy group. They start to get to know each other and realise how well they fit together. John Green's writing in this novel is absolutely stunning, and the film captures this brilliantly. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort portray the main characters perfectly and, as a result, the film is even more heart-breaking than the book. I was sobbing by the end of this film, and I loved everything about it. Yes, there are things missed out, but they're never going to fit everything into one film, and most importantly they don't miss anything too detrimental. And I also think they do a really perfect job of recreating Green's tone and writing style, which is why so many people love that book. Overall, read the book, then watch this film, and I promise you will not be disappointed.
Before moving on to the worst ones, I would like to make a point that I did not mean to pick 3 romances and my top 3, but as a romance-lover, it just happened! (Also, I'm kind of horrified by how similar all 3 of those movie posters are!)
Mortal Instruments (Netflix series)
When they announced that they were going to be making a film of this series, I was so excited! I completely devoured these books when I read them, and they are one of the reasons I fell in love with reading when I was at school. The protagonist Clary, finds herself entangled in a world full of monsters and magic and is guided by a people called Shadowhunters. When the film came out, I saw it and actually didn't mind it at all. It stuck pretty well to the book's plot and the characters were all portrayed how I'd imagined them in my head. But, then the reviews came out, and it turns out not everyone liked it as much as I did. So they decided to scrap the movies and instead bring it out as a TV show on Netflix. And wow, it is weird. I haven't actually seen that many episodes, so maybe I just haven't seen enough of it to get a real sense for what it's like, but the main reason I fell in love with the books is because they're action packed, filled with hoards of magical creatures and all the characters are worth investing in for their own individual reasons. The show, however, was so jumpy and CGI-infested that it just comes across as some teen-show-cum-mythological-adventure with some really terrible acting. Plus the whole thing feels like it was made for a much younger audience. I think for a series that I connected with so well, it was such a shame that this show didn't capture the same great feel books I'd read.
The Girl on the Train
This was an amazing thriller when I read it. It has suspense throughout and I loved the ending. Focusing on Rachel, an alcoholic who every day watches a couple from her train seat, she finds herself involved in the disappearance of one of the people she watches. But claiming she's innocent, she has to overcome her demons to get to the truth. I don't really need to write much else in this review, other than, why is a film who's book is set in England, suddenly set in America? As a film, it wasn't bad at all; Emily Blunt's acting is great, and it leaves you as on the edge of your seat as the book did. HOWEVER, the film focuses a lot on Rachel's alcohol addiction, and so sacrifices every other element of her personality. For example, in the book, she is unashamedly promiscuous, a factor completely missed out in the film. And while there are always going to be differences from the original novel, I think, for me, this film takes the biscuit.
And just as a final note, there's a lot everyone could say about the Harry Potter film adaptations. Most of them aren't my favourite, but at the same time, I let them get away with a lot because the books are so magical and the actors are so young, that of course, they are not going to be the best. But, for me, The Goblet of Fire and The Order of the Phoenix were the most disappointing. What happened to the Triwizard Tournament? Where was Neville's sub plot? Where was Mrs. Weasley's boggart encounter? So. Many. Questions.
Do let me know what you think the best/worst book to movie adaptions are!

"Fully-Realized Interactive Drama" Facade is released
From indie game studio Procedural Arts comes the first game in which you communicate to NPC (non player characters) by actaully speaking with them as opposed to picking from a selection of conversion pieces. The AI is supposed to be smart enough to recognize what you say and interact accordingly. From the press release,
Façade is unlike games to date in that the player is able to drive the story through direct, Holodeck-style interactions, including conversing with the characters in natural language, and moving and gesturing freely within the first-person 3D world of Grace and Trip's apartment. And unlike interactive stories to date, in Façade the computer characters actively perform the story without waiting for you to click or enter a command. AI controls Grace and Trip's personality and behavior, including emotive facial expressions, spoken voice and full-body animation. Further, the AI intelligently guides the story based on the player's moment-by-moment interaction and what has happened in the story so far, while still satisfying an overall dramatic arc. An innovative text parser allows the system to avoid the "I don't understand" response all too common in text-adventure interactive fiction.

In Love = In Sensitivity
We're still waiting for our son to be born (due last Friday). Between Shawna's remarkable discomfort and our live's perpetual state of limbo, I find myself getting easily irritable and restless. This manifests in different ways. I'm so grateful that our elderly neighbor who lights up every morning at 6am outside our bedroom window isn't able to hear my thoughts. He'd have called the cops a long time ago and I'd be waiting for our son's birth from a jail cell. Waking up that way is a bad sign for how I'm doing internally.
It really isn't him who's driving me insane. It's my self-centeredness. I'm so eager to meet our son and to see Shawna be a mom (with a body she feels comfortable in again) that I begin focusing more on my eagerness than I do the things I'm eager for. The emotion becomes the focus rather than the focus that produced the emotion. It's backwards and quickly turns my being eager into my being anxious and irritable.
(Side note: Speaking of being irritable, to all parents reading this, please refrain from the impulse of thinking you have the perfect advice for me or need to educate me on the difficulty of sleepless parenthood. I don't know what it is about having a pregnant wife that turns everyone around you a doctor, psychologist, and sociological genius, but be we must find a cure for this epidemic! Thanks. And I love you.)
Culturally, the word "sensuality" is usually understood to be addressing mere sexuality, but it is so much more than that! Sensuality is more like a mental condition. It's the over-identification with our senses (sens-uality). A "sensual person" is one who measures the value of people, places, and things according to how they relate to their senses and how they make him/her feel. It is the shallowest and most self-centered level of thinking (believe me, this is something I'm really good at).
Ephesians 4.19 gives an incredible diagnosis for the root cause of sensuality:
Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality…
Sensuality is the absence of sensitivity. For instance, when I'm grumpy toward my smokey neighbor, it's because I am overwhelmed with how I believe he is "making" me feel. He is then reduced to being a cause, and I am reduced to being affected. I am completely insensitive to who he is beyond what I am feeling right now. I've lost all sensitivity and been given over to sensuality. This robs me of being able to hear others and God, because listening and hearing require sensitivity.
Jesus said, "I have come that you may have life, and life more abundantly," but we often behave as if we're afraid that an intimate relationship with Him will rob us of living full lives. That is the condition of sensuality having its way with our faith.
Sensitivity enables us to love our spouse, children, neighbors, and even enemies because we're capable of being sensitive to them, beyond how they relate to us. Christ wants to teach us how to live with transcendent and infinite sensitivity to a loving "God of all who is over all and through all and in all." (Ephesians 4.6)
So, when I find I'm being grumpy or agitated, I try to remember to ask myself, "What am I being insensitive to?"
As I ask that now, I realize that I am being insensitive to an immense joy residing in our house and lives. I think, I often confuse excitement as anxiety. It's not worth continuing to do that any longer.
(Continued side note: Thanks again, parents!)

Mrs. Ernestina Miheve, 81, passed away on March 14, 2009.
Tina was born to Frank Paez and Mary Hilliard, their 12th and last child, in Driscoll, Texas, on October 22, 1927. She attended school in Edinburg, and later moved to Mexico City, Mexico, where she lived for over 20 years. She was a widely-known performer both in movies and on-stage, but gladly gave that up to care for her beloved sons, David and Richard. After moving to Washington, D.C., she married (then) USAF Capt Greg Miheve and remained his wife until her death.
Tina was a friend to all who knew her, a wonderful homemaker and cook who always gladly prepared dinner for unexpected guests. She epitomized the most-prized personal quality the Spanish call �GRACIA�: love, caring concern, friendship, loyalty, and welcome to everyone she met. She shared a dinner seated next to the President of Mexico and later with her caregivers at the end of her life, and was loved by all.
Tina was one of the great heroines to the Cuban refugees of the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, finding family, jobs and sponsors for many. She literally rescued several refugees from life-threatening situations in the refugee camp.
Her parents, all her brothers and sisters, and her son, Louis Richard, predeceased her. She is survived by her husband, Greg; her son, David Canales and his wife, Shelley; grandsons, Christian and Morgan Canales; and numerous nephews and nieces.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 pm on Thursday, March 19, 2009, at Davis-Watkins Funeral Home, 8 NE Racetrack Road, Fort Walton Beach, FL, with complimentary valet parking. The Traditional Tridentine Latin Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St Mary Catholic Church on Friday, March 20, at 11:30 am, 110 SW St Mary Avenue, Fort Walton Beach, FL. The Rev. Father Hector R.G. Perez, S.T.D., Pastor of St. Stephen Roman Catholic Church in Pensacola will celebrate the first Mass in the Traditional Latin Tridentine rite celebrated here for nearly a quarter of a century. Interment will follow at Beal Memorial Cemetery.

Straight out of the Swedish city of Gothenberg, Volvo has become well-known for pushing out safe, reliable cars, making them one of the vehicles of choice for families around the globe. Initially made all the way back in 1924 to withstand the rigours of Sweden's rough roads and cold temperatures, you could say they've come a long way!
The current Volvo range focusses mainly on traditional vehicle platforms, including hatchbacks, saloons, SUVs and estate cars. The 'XC' models cater to drivers who regularly get their cars a bit muddy and dirty off-road, while the 'Cross Country' versions are available for people going for a more traditional combination of on and off-road ability
About the Volvo XC70
The Volvo XC70 isn't one of the most popular Volvos on the road, although it has the ability to go off-road! Its reviews have been reasonable, but not many drivers rave about it - the reviewers out there say it's not enjoyable to drive, and it isn't as comfy on the road as its predecessor. However, if you are a driver of this particular make of Volvo, you may love its rugged looks and spacious interior. We've come across complaints of power failure of the all-wheel drive, transmission troubles, and low-pressure lights staying on. If those have bothered you too, you've come to the right place to find some help!
Problems with Volvo
Of course it's not just the XC70 that has troubles. If you drive a Volvo S80 you may come across problems with a whining noise during acceleration, or early transmission failure. If you're driving the Volvo 240 you might also be hearing a whining noise, or have problems with the fuse blowing on your power windows. And if you are driving the sporty Volvo V40 you may be dealing with windshield problems or those pesky transmission issues again.
While these sound serious, Book My Garage is happy to help you find a garage in your area that can sort you out and get you back on the road quickly.

Blue is one of my favorite colors to wear, and hence, my closet is about half-full of the hue. I like to think of it as a neutral—it's universally flattering and can be worn with almost anything.
Right now, these are four items that I'm crushing on, all from Mill Mercantile in San Francisco.
This lightweight gauze top by A Detacher has a clever twist, making sure you don't fall into the "basics can be boring" trap. The It Shoe of the moment, the Penelope Mule by Maryam Nassir Zadeh can be worn with jeans, trousers, or dresses. This Il Bisonte purse will jazz up any outfit. And this kimono jacket by Black Crane is the perfect cover up when the temperatures dip in the evening.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Bankrupt United Airlines and US Airways lost ground Monday as their woes mixed with a backdrop of geopolitical instability.
The Amex Airline Index XAL, -1.37% turned around late in the day to gain 0.2 percent, closing at 37.68. It was down most of the day because of concerns about North Korea's decision to remove U.N. monitoring equipment at a nuclear reactor capable of yielding weapons-grade plutonium. Ongoing tensions with Iraq did little to ease geopolitical tensions. See CBS News.
Reflecting those developments and instability in Venezuela, crude oil continued to rise to a two-year high at almost $32 a barrel. See full story.
UAL UAL, +0.07% fell 17 cents, or 13 percent, to $1.13 as management at the parent of the No. 2 airline met with its unions to hammer out new labor accords that must save money at bankrupt United. A recorded message for employees Friday made clear that the carrier and its unions are still talking, and are working on arriving at "consensual agreements" by Feb. 15.
US Airways UAWGQ was last quoted in bulletin board trading down 40 percent to 26.5 cents after releasing its plan to battle back from bankruptcy. It's likely that shares will have little or no value when the process is complete. See full story.
Phil Baggaley, a credit analyst at Standard & Poor's, said the most important remaining conditions are ratification of agreed labor concessions along with the reduction or rescheduling of the airline's expected $3.1 billion pension funding requirements.
That "should support final approval of the federal loan guarantee and the $240 million equity investment by sponsor Retirement System of Alabama upon US Airways' emergence from bankruptcy," Baggaley wrote.
As more exposure emerges to United and US Airways leases, Pitney Bowes PBI, -2.19% said it would take a charge of $100 million, or 26 cents a share, in the fourth quarter to write down its commercial aircraft leases with the bankrupt carriers. The loss of income associated with its investments in aircraft leases should be 2 cents a share in 2003.
AMR Corp. AMR, -1.68%, parent of American Airlines, rose 2 cents to $6.40. Delta Air Lines DAL, -0.11% rose 4 cents to $11.44, while Continental Airlines CAL, -3.51% rose 8 cents to $6.79.
Discount carrier Southwest Airlines LUV, -0.52% gave up 25 cents to $14.32. JetBlue Airways JBLU, -0.71% rose 63 cents to $26.69, and Atlantic Coast Airlines ACAI rose 18 cents to $11.77.

I've been reading a whole lot of rubbish on low wages…and experiencing it too, through shared experiences. Frankly I find these two words rather dirty.
I would think fair wages as opposed to low wages? Like fair trade, which is by the way, a nice catch phrase for some of the so-called socially responsible companies out there, whether they practice fair wages or not, is yet, another question…fair trade sells after all, don't we all know that? Fair wages? Well…not sure….(i think i'd rather keep my employees like mushrooms, keep them in the dark and feed them with shit and by the way..who knows?). I know..I'm the busy body that talks to everyone…
I know of a multitude of companies out there, circumventing all sorts of rules and regulations to pay people lower and force them to work longer. I don't like that, in fact, i don't like it at all. I know of folks who stuck it out with a company for decades without a single dollar of pay increase (you could give them flexi bonus you know..if you are worried about the company's year to year performance), and yet, their bosses are really living upscale lives….at the expense of?… Really!!
Many times i am faced with clients beating down on my already reasonable price or people asking for discounts and more discounts..I will swallow, as much as i can take it, because , take it or nothing at all. I think of my staff, they have families and bills…better this or nothing and quick lets close this and move on to get some other stuff going! As with everything, there is a decent margin and a hardly sustainable margin. ..again, at someone else's expense, the company? If we don't do so good, the staff don't get rewarded so good..logical? So what happens, it all filters down and settle at the bottom of the feeding pool, so what is this hue and cry about the widening gap between the rich and poor? Why in heaven's name wouldn't the poor get poorer? Why are consumers so protected that they cannot pay a reasonable price for what they want, allowing a decent margin for the company and hence prospects for the people working down there? Why are corporations so hell-bent in saving a couple of pennies (which probably is pocket change to them anyway) and yet, can make a whole lot of difference to so many people down on the food chain?
i do have to qualify that i am speaking from a small enterprise point of view.
Several years back I was at Chamonix, amidst all the swanky new johnny-come-lately shops bearing all the international brands and chain stores in all kinds of supplies (owned by the conglomerates), stood a quiet, quaint French owned grocery shop. The lady there was kind of scary grumpy..but, i went in there everyday, anyway..just to pick up some stuff, just so to buy something from her. One day, she told me she works 24/7 7 days a week, so hard to keep up with the mortgage…her brother and her runs the shop left behind by their parents..her brother has a girlfriend so he is off weekends..she has to stay behind. So does she get to go skiing?…i asked. Yes, very early before the shop opens, and she gets her tan by standing in the sun outside the shop when biz is slow. And how is that people don't come is so much now?…well..they prefer to shop in somewhere fancy..they think she's got nothing much to offer inside her small grocery store..and she said, ask me..why not just ask me…i have almost everything…ya hor…can just ask what…
i pondered over this in my hotel room thereafter….privately brainstorming how it could possibly be better for her..re-invent her store? Change her offers??? Whatever it is, 1st – it takes more money, 2nd – mom & pop store are expected to become marketing gurus (due to the new world order)…i can't imagine…like asking a fish to live on land! Offerings?? How can you beat the bulk purchase prices of big chain stores…now..let us not be so silly! You know what, now so many years later as i'm recalling these events, the best thing for her to do is to sell off the shop and live off the astronomical profits (i hope, if the outstanding mortgage is not too much!)
Way back even further, at a distributors' meeting in Switzerland, i met up with a lot of people from all round the world and the UK guys told me in UK there are only 2 big chain sports stores and they control the whole market..i was like urgghhh..how generic everything would be then. However, that is not the worse horror as yet, retrospectively speaking, as a distributer it would mean you are really at mercy of these 2 big guns..either you are with us or you are not with us..oh bummer..i've got to kiss ass and lick boots! And this is not the worse as yet, the final nail in the coffin is when they start making house brands out of your products!!
Oh well, i do what is right most of the time and i live by my rules, new world order, global economy swallowing up the poor…oh go to hell..changing with the times…whatever shit, have it your way served up with fanfare..i do not believe in you but i am aware there is no turning back, and just maybe… one day, the world will be managed by the "Umbrella Company" and i will be kick-butt gun totting Alice..

When making sartorial choices for your European-inspired wedding, you could turn to national costumes for cues on how to dress, but those might make for some regrettable photo ops. Lederhosen are best left for Oktoberfest.
However, one can lean into certain national "style vibes" for inspiration on what to wear on your big day. Check these looks out:
The Brits always know how to turn up the formality and nothing says elegance quite like the traditional English morning jacket. And despite all the layers here, this is decidedly a daytime look.
The best way for defining Italian style is sprezzatura which is roughly translated to "studied nonchalance." Italians have a way of wearing the most elegant of clothes and still making them look casual, fun and perfect no matter how colorful, wrinkled or tight-fitting!
The French are simply badass when it comes to looking cool and couture at the same time. Perhaps it is their version of sprezzatura but Frenchmen know how to rock the heights of fashion and always look uniquely stylish.
What we love about Spanish style is that it is all rough-and-tumble manly. There's a devil-may-care spirit to Spanish fashion whether they are decked out in swim togs or wedding threads.

Almost every week, I find something about myself that I don't like. It's usually my weight (I've gained more weight than I like). When I tell this to my boyfriend, he always tells me that he thinks I'm beautiful and that I shouldn't be so down on myself. I always find myself more beautiful when I'm in God's Word too.

Braces with headgear, ginormous glasses, ill-advised hairstyles -- everyone's got a teen or pre-teen photo hiding somewhere that they'd rather forget. Now those embarrassing moments can help victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
Comedian Nick Kroll has co-created "Big Mouth," a new Netflix show about those awkward years that debuted Friday. On Wednesday, he appeared on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and encouraged celebrities to share gawky photos of themselves.
Puberty is "so awkward. There's catharsis in sort of showing who we were and who we became," Kroll said before Colbert shared his own embarrassing teen photo, one in which he forgot it was picture day and had to wear the photographer's jacket and tie.
Kroll responded with his own photo.
"I'm shouting you out, The Rock, I'm shouting you out, The Hillary Clinton," said Kroll, encouraging big names to participate.
Colbert then upped the ante by promising to donate money to Puerto Rican hurricane relief from his charitable fund, the Americone Dream Fund (related to his Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor) for every celeb who shares a photo with the hashtags #PuberMe and #PuertoRicoRelief
"And I'll decide who's a celebrity, thank you," he said.
Once Colbert had checked the balance in the fund, he agreed to Kroll's suggestion of $1,000 donation per celeb. "And I will match that," promised Kroll.
Since then, stars and regular folk alike have been sharing their throwback photos on Twitter and Instagram. Here are just a few.
Even 94-year-old actress Rose Marie got into the spirit.
"Hamilton" composer Lin-Manuel Miranda found a puberty video of himself with a Puerto Rican theme.
Miranda had a relevant photo too.
At press time, more photos were being added. Click on the #PuberMe link to see more.

Featured Foreign & Exotic Restorations
The waters behind this MG may look tranquil, but not long before this picture was taken those waters devastated the Jersey Shore, and this MG, was almost one of Superstorm Sandy's victims. In one of the photos linked below, you'll see a line on the dash where salt water nearly submerged the entire vehicle. There wasn't a component that wasn't affected. Water entered everything. As if this wasn't devastating enough, this MG is not just some car to the owner. It's THE car. The car that he bought NEW, when he was just 19-years-old. The car he met his wife in. Raised a family with. Went to work in. Retired with. THE car. We've had the privilege to get to know this owner well, and it's been the honor of our career to bring his beloved beauty back to life.
1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL
This Mercedes is the perfect example of how our preservation services can keep a car going long after it had been seemingly forgotten. After sitting stationary for many years, time was beginning to take its toll. The paint was dull and beginning to oxidize. Spots of rust were adorning the chrome trim. The interior was, well, crusty, to put it lightly. And forget about running. The gas cap went missing some time ago, and in its place, tin foil was placed over the filler neck in attempt to stop anything from entering the fuel tank. It didn't work. Rain water got in and rotted out the tank. But this car had "good bones". So our crew got to work, and was able not only to bring this car to a tip-top running condition, but bring back a luster to its exterior that is more than evident. For the right candidate, preservation can be a great way to enjoy a vehicle for many years without the cost of an extensive restoration.
1972 Ford Capri 2000
Wait a minute... What's a Ford doing on the Foreign & Exotics page? Well, for those of you who didn't know, this Ford was actually built in Germany. Nearly 2 million units of these Capri's were produced. They were the European equivalent to the Mustang. While this particular car sports an inline 4-cylinder, some models did come equipped with 6- or 8-cylinder engines. Despite their high production numbers, finding one in the United States can be quite difficult. After years of searching, the owner managed to acquire one, and brought it to Coastal Classics for a partial restoration. We repainted the car, fixing numerous rusted areas along the way, and completely went through the mechanical systems, including overhauling the engine. Portions of the interior were also replaced.

"Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." Ephesians 4:15
In one sense, trying to help the sexually confused can be a daunting task. Many grow up today thinking anything goes and nothing is taboo. Where/how do we begin to help such people? In another sense, we should consider it just another facet of spiritual growth.
For example, I once thought staying home on Sunday and skipping church was fine, especially since everyone I knew did the same. I once thought that I should speak my mind no matter who it offended. I now think much differently because my Lord led me in a new direction. This is how we should approach the sexually confused, as another component of spiritual growth. They once thought this, but we must help them see things another way, a better way.
Ephesus was among the top five cities of the Roman Empire, and home to many evils. Paul addressed these evils, including sexual sins. His approach was twofold:
1. Speak the truth
When we speak with people about these things, they have a right to know what the mind of God is on these matters. After all, God's Word alone establishes right and wrong. We need to speak the truth. Soft-peddling the truth leads to compromise. No one can be helped unless we show them the truth. Of course, we need to share the gospel, the greatest truth of all. But people also need to know what God thinks about things, including sexual matters. To help people, we need to speak the truth.
2. Speak in love
Our passage above commands us to speak the truth in love. People must sense that we care for them and their spiritual welfare, and not just trying to win an argument. This means we must patiently listen to their viewpoints and not shout them down. Remember, the Apostle Paul never gave up on people, including someone who committed serious sexual sin (see 2 Corinthians 2:5-8). If we close the door on someone because he or she lives an unbiblical lifestyle, we lose our only chance to help them.
1. Remember you represent God when you quote the Bible or speak to people about what God says about sexual morality. Be faithful to His Word and communicate God's word to people in need.
2. Ask God to give you wisdom when addressing people about such matters. Ask Him to give you the words to share and right spirit with which to conduct yourself.
3. Pray for those trapped in sin, whatever it might be. Remember, God can deliver them and bring change to their lives. Ask God to change their hearts and be open to the truth.
4. Instill hope. In college I took a course on pastoral counseling and vividly recall the counselor's first obligation: instill hope.
5. Bear the reproach of Christ. When you speak up for God you may lose friends and popularity. You may find yourselves in a small minority and may even find yourself all alone. Do not worry, God is with you to give you boldness and courage.

Controversial radio and television presenter Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa, known in showbiz circles as Afia Schwarzenegger, received many good wishes on her birthday, which fell on Valentine's Day. But none of these was bigger than a good wish from the president of the land.
President John Dramani Mahama took to Twitter to wish Afia, who recently defended him when opposition Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong bad-mouthed him and his family, a happy birthday.
The outspoken Afia has over the years had altercations with some Ghanaians, including founder of the International God's Way Church Bishop Obinim and, recently, Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong.

They are a popular destination for cruise ships, which dock at the capital, Road Town, on the island of Tortuga.
It has many white sandy beaches and pretty villages. It is a popular sailing destination with generally favourable conditions. If you tire of the sea, there is a small rainforest to explore in Sage Mountain National Park. Tourism is hugely important to the economy.

75% of African-Americans during a stroke telephoned a relative or friend while only 12% called 911, Dr. Rani Whitfield revealed in the journal Stroke. Even though 89% said they would call emergency services if they had a stroke, a survey found that when one does occur people do not do exactly what they say they will do. The American Heart Association and the Congressional Black Caucus are currently discussing ways to reduce stroke risk among African-Americans.
The American Heart Association survey found that 43% of 18 to 24 year-old African Americans are not worried about cardiovascular diseases or conditions, especially stroke. The researchers also found that only 1 in every 5 are engaged in healthy behaviors. Hypertension (high blood pressure), obesity and cholesterol levels only seem to be of interest to one-quarter of young, black American adults. Just one third of young African-Americans are aware of the fact that race/ethnicity has an impact on stroke and heart disease risk.
African-Americans have twice the risk of having a stroke compared to their Caucasian counterparts. This survey reveals how little young adults seem to know about this.
Whitfield said:
"Most young people believe they don't need to worry about stroke even when they have risk factors for the disease or are at risk for developing those risk factors.
The surveys drive home why it is important for African-Americans of all ages to seek emergency care when they're experiencing the symptoms of a stroke and to take steps to learn whether they are at risk for stroke.
The good news is that the Affordable Care Act gives consumers new assistance for knowing their risk and taking steps to reduce it by making preventive screenings and services more available and affordable."
Chrisette Michele, a Grammy-award winning R&B artist, also the national spokesperson for Power to End Stroke, said:
"My mother is currently recovering from a stroke. My maternal grandmother had a hole in her heart and several other heart problems because of the lack of record keeping in the black community so many years ago. They weren't fully aware of their health history. It's important to keep health records and to know your family health history."
The American Heart Association (AHA) and the Congressional Black Caucus launched the 31 Days of Power campaign. May is American Stroke Month. There will be several events nationwide to educate African-Americans about stroke, what risk factors are linked to stroke, treatment options, and how to identify warning signs.
It is hoped the campaign will help African-Americans, who have been most affected by heart disease and stroke, to be better prepared and subsequently control and treat their conditions more effectively.
Stroke risk can be considerably reduced if people take some simple lifestyle steps, such as:
- Follow a healthy, well-balanced diet
- Maintain a healthy body weight
- Don't smoke
- Consume alcohol in moderation
- Become more physically active
Whitfield wrote:
"The burden of stroke in America is staggering, particularly among people of color. We believe in empowerment via enfranchisement. Not only is awareness imperative but so is access to affordable, quality healthcare and preventive services. That is why the association supports the Affordable Care Act and believes we should be working to build on the law, not repeal or undermine it."
Some facts about stroke in the USA:
- Approximately 795,000 suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year, one every 40 seconds
- 137,000 die from stroke each year
- Every 4 minutes somebody in America dies of stroke (on average)
- 60% of stroke deaths are among females, 40% among males
- 41.7 white males per 100,000 die of stroke each year, 41.1 white females, 67.7 black males and 57 black females
- People paid approximately $73.7 billion for stroke-related medical costs and disability in 2010

Democrats want Wendy, but what's Plan B?
AUSTIN — Of course the Democrats want Wendy.
She's a political star who wows crowds in Texas and beyond. That's important if Democrats hope to raise the tens of millions of dollars needed to take on the GOP favorite, Attorney General Greg Abbott, and his formidable war chest in this red state.
She's accomplished, with a compelling life story. She tells it well, focusing on the educational opportunity that helped her pull herself up from life in a trailer as a single mom, when she said she'd cut a 99-cent Totino's pizza into quarters so it would last for four meals and she'd have enough money for her daughter's baby food.
She has a legislative history beyond her internationally noted Senate filibuster against tighter abortion restrictions, encompassing issues with potentially wide appeal, such as a previous filibuster against education cuts.
And at least for now, she's the only star the Democrats have got who has indicated a willingness to run in 2014.
Little wonder that pro-Democratic groups have launched "We Want Wendy" campaigns, asking Texans to urge Davis, D-Fort Worth, to run and to commit to help her.
Davis sounds more and more like she'll go for it.
But the hope and excitement begs the question: If she decides against it, then what?
"We've kind of created that circumstance ourselves, I guess, by everybody getting so excited and so focused on Wendy. We've made it so that if she doesn't run, I think it would be harder for somebody else," said Davis adviser Matt Angle.
But he said Democrats should run a strong candidate even if Davis doesn't make the race, saying Abbott has vulnerabilities.
Who that candidate might be is hard to guess.
"We do have kind of a Plan B option, but our hope truly is that Wendy Davis does decide to run for governor," said Texas Democratic Party spokeswoman Tanene Allison.
Allison held off on Plan B details, saying she first wants to hear what Davis decides.
Is there someone like Davis waiting in the wings? "I don't think there's anybody like Wendy Davis, anywhere," she said.
There are strong Democrats, however, including Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, who came from her father's funeral to the Senate floor during that much-noticed abortion debate and ignited demonstrators by asking "at what point must a female senator raise her hand or voice to be recognized" over the male senators.
Van de Putte said some have suggested a statewide race to her, but it's not yet something she has looked at seriously.
"I think Wendy has to decide what she wants to do first," said Van de Putte. She also said she has to ensure what is best for her family, which this year suffered the loss not only of her father but of her infant grandson.
Some top party prospects, including San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro and his brother, U.S. Rep. Joaquín Castro, have clearly indicated they aren't ready to make a statewide race in 2014. It's a year that has the potential to rally Democrats with the right candidate, but actually electing that candidate would take a stunning upset.
If Davis runs for governor rather than re-election, and she loses, she'll be out of elected office as demographic changes are seen as making the state friendlier to her party.
"Losing is really hard, and it's difficult to come back," said SMU political scientist Cal Jillson. "You've got to find a way to stay relevant and stay visible." So yes, the Democrats want Wendy. But when it's said and done, will Davis take on the risk of a statewide race?
"If I had my guesses right now, I'd say she might go for it," Van de Putte said. "That's just based on maybe wishful thinking, rather than what is the best course for her."

I was out last night. Not that uncommon, really – lots of people go out on a Friday evening. My night out was a little different to most, and even then was nowhere near as wild as that of some in Shetland.
Last night was the South Mainland Up Helly Aa or, as it's known here, SMUHA. (Pronounced just how you think it will be – 'smoo-haa'). Some 400 men and women were dressed to the nines as either Vikings or practically anything else that took their squads' fancy – there was even someone dressed as the Pope. Carrying flaming torches they processed from the Spiggie Hotel down past the shore of Spiggie Loch, massed on a small sandy beach looking out into the Atlantic and, led by their leader Scott Lobban, the Guizer Jarl, they set fire to their Viking galley before pushing it out to burn on the sea.
Like I say, some people were having a wild time last night… My friend, Maurice Henderson of Fiddler's Bid and Fullsceilidh Spelemannslag musical fame, was in the Jarl Squad – so dressed in full Viking costume and finally giving the beard he's been growing for months an outing.
Hundreds turned out on a cold, blustery evening to watch this tremendous spectacle. The road was lined with local folk. I'd decided to try for a different perspective so had donned a survival suit and positioned myself up on the exposed cliffs above the beach before dark fell. I wanted photos of the galley burning with the sea in the foreground.
As plans go, it worked well – up to a point – I got the photos I wanted, but also got to see what it's like to be in the midst of a firework display as the rockets that mark the end of the evening exploded at eye level around me!
It was a good night out, and I've hundreds of photos to work my way through now. Many thanks to Dave and Jan Winter for kindly letting me park at Spiggie House and providing easy access to the cliffs.

10 Best Full Summer Body Workouts You'll Want To Use for 2017
As the temperature rises and people head to the beach on the weekends, bathing suits are inevitable. For those of us enjoying the sun and splashing in the waves, it's important to keep our bodies in tip-top shape. Here, we've pulled together our 10 favorite full summer body workouts for 2017. Connect with your truly wireless Rowkin earbuds and check out these tips and video clips to get you started!
Where to begin? 3-day total body detox workout regime!
Hit the gym running. This 3-day total body workout plan designed by Men's Fitness is the perfect way to jumpstart your summer training. With a combination of body weight moves and more advanced lifting sets, this attacks every target zone possible. Check out Men's Fitness workout plan here.
Shake it up & split squat with overhead presses
Grab 20-30 pound dumbbells and stand with one foot forward and one food back. By both splitting, squatting, and pressing we are focusing specifically on each leg as well as both arms. Make sure to do reps on both sides, alternating front legs every 8-10 squats to get the full workout.
Perk up your pecs: leaning one-arm dumbbell fly
Add this exercise in as the last in your chest series. With deep cut V-neck shirts, this is the perfect move to add some extra oomph to your upper and inner pecs—just enough so they peek out from below your collar. How to? Grab onto a stationary bar, position your feet by the object, and lean away from it with a weight in your opposite hand. Lift your arm with a slight bend in your angle completing an arc toward your opposite shoulder. Best results will be seen by using a lower weight and doing 15+ reps, holding a few seconds at the top of each arc.
Let's go: lateral lunges with side chops
Activate your abs, arms, and legs with this full summer body workout. Pick up a dumbbell or medicine ball, appropriate for your strength and get ready to lunge. It is important to make sure your feet are in the same plane, your hips are square and your feet remain on the ground throughout the entire motion. Try 8-10 reps in each direction!
Back to basics: push-ups with rows
Blast fat with this plank/push-up/row combo move. Set yourself up in a plank position, do a push-up, and then lift one weight (with control), and then the other. This move engages your arms, core, glutes and hip flexors! Try 10-15 reps if you're ambitious.
Walk it out: single leg plank walks
Assume a regular plank position on astro-turf or hardwood floors. If you're on astro-turf, make sure to place the toes of one foot on a plastic gliding surface. Once raised in a regular plank position, lift one leg while keeping the core tight and your weight evenly distributed. Walk your hands forward 10-15 paces just as you might have done in wheelbarrow races back in the day. This is a perfect way to activate your glutes, core, arms and shoulders!
Bring back the biceps: behind-the-back bicep cable curl
Unsure where your biceps have gone since last summer? Bring them back to life for 2017 with this move that mimics the incline dumbbell curl, with an even higher tension at the top of the curl in contrast to using an actual dumbbell. Easily the most effective move to build up the biceps.
No gym membership? Follow this bodyweight push-up regime
Easy to do anytime, anywhere, this four-move push-up workout will take you through variations of a typical push-up to maximize muscle activation. Use this workout daily to see visible results in less than 2 weeks!
Trap bar deadlifts for the win
Make sure to add in some trap bar deadlifts. This really is a full-body workout—getting after your glutes, legs, arms and abs all in one move. While this is only really possible if your gym carries a trap bar, try substituting a regular deadlift for this if need be.
New to making gains? Try this full body workout designed specially for beginners
With a combination of leg extensions, leg curls, incline bicep curls and various other moves, trainer Vince Del Monte shows you how to attack a gym day with perfect form, precision and effort.
So whether you're a beginner in the weight room or an experienced workout guru, this list of full summer body workouts is the best of 2017. Start now and get fit just in time for the sunniest summer days that are yet to come. Now go get it!

The Dirty Laundry Tour
|08-Aug-2007 11:25 pm
|Contributed by: pete
|Concert Reviews
Saturday night at The Horseshoe was a CD Release party and kick-off for The Dirty Laundry Tour, a tour comprised of The Last True Gentlemen, Mike Celia, and Fourlines, in which they are... well, collecting your dirty laundry, travelling across Canada with it, and even performing with it on stage. Yes, your dirty clothing can travel to a number of locations from Quebec to British Columbia. The three bands have different sounds, so if you're planning on heading out to see them, get there to see them all, you won't be bored.
The Last True GentlemenI've become a bit of a fan of The Last True Gentlemen. Just over a year ago, their EP found its way onto my desk, and I wrote up a review, after which I added a few of their songs into my regular iTunes playlists. Then I went to see them at Lee's Palace in August and truly enjoyed the live act. So next up was a promo shoot with them in November. Now their music has become part of my life.
At the kick-off party, they released a new CD single entitled Summer, that contains the title track as well as two other tracks Camp, and All Time Sight. The song Summer has underlying an late-60's feel that sits just right with me, something that I think they do well. I really enjoy watching and listening to this band, so check the dates and if the tour is coming to you, show some support, get out to see them, and say hello to them for me.
Info and Connect: The Last True Gentlemen on MySpace
FourlinesI hadn't heard Fourlines before heading out to the show, so I had absolutely no idea what they sounded like. But take a little hard-rock guitar, add a touch of Maroon 5 vocals, and a bit of a Justin Timberlake look, then sit back and enjoy. Frontman Kirt Godwin (vocals, guitar, keyboard) has a great voice and a cool stage personality.
Info and Connect: Fourlines on MySpace
Mike CeliaMike Celia was first out to play, and his style of laid-back guitar and slightly bluesy vocals is excellent music by which to down your first beer of the night. He was backed by his brother David Celia on electric guitar, and with Andrew Clark on bass and Mark Ansara on drums (both of The Last True Gentlemen). Bring your sunglasses, his music might make you feel like your sitting out in the hot sun on a patio next to the ocean.
