Vilene Sewing Club: DIY Fabric Headband
There is nothing more cute than a custom-made accessory and this fabric headband is quick and easy to make – even for stitching beginners!
It made me so happy that so many of the folks attending the Fabric Headband Workshop at the Vilene Sewing Club this year walked away wearing a handmade headband, many of these folks hadn't used a sewing machine before!
Over the coming weeks I will be sharing the how-to guides for each of the projects that we made in the Vilene Sewing Club Workshops – first up, this fun hair accessory!
So, let's make a Fabric Headband!
Grab your supplies…
Print Cottons, 110cm x 10cm in two prints – these glorious prints are by Tanya Whelan
Vilene F220 fusible interfacing
Fabric marker, pencil or tailor chalk
Sewing Machine
Cut the two print cottons into strips measuring 110cm x 10cm
Cut a piece of Vilene F220 to 110cm x 10cm. With an iron set to 'cotton/wool' position the adhesive side onto the wrong side of one of the strips of cotton, cover with a slightly damp pressing cloth and use the iron to bond to the fabric. To avoid creating wrinkles, press and hold the iron in place and hold for 10 seconds before lifting and moving to press the next section.
Pro-Tip When bonding interfacing onto fabrics, remove the bonded fabric form the ironing board after fusing and place on a table or flat surface and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes. This allows the adhesive to cool and bond securely to the fabrics, so you wont risk it peeling off as you prepare to stitch!
Position the two pieces together with right sides facing and pin in place. This project is made with nice simple straight seams, so you can work with pins running down the centre of the strip, making it quicker to stitch as you wont have to worry about removing the pins as you work .
With the fabric marker draw on the shaping onto one short end of the strip. Here I have worked 'bunny ears' style, but you could mark out an angled point or even a diagonal line if to change the finished look of the headband.
Place the two short ends on top of each other and, using the marked lines as a guide, cut out the shaping on to both ends at one time.
With a straight stitch selected on the sewing machine join the two pieces with a 6mm seam allowance. Begin sewing half way down one of the long sides, working up to the tip of the headband. To create the neat shaping follow the seam allowance to the point of the shaping and stop stitching with the needle down through the fabric, lift the presser foot and pivot the fabric on the needle to position in place to follow the next section of the seam with the same seam allowance. Continue stitching around to the other point in the same manner and down the first side, stop stitching 5-10cm from the start of the seam to leave a gap for turning through.
Neaten the seams around the shaping on to the two short ends by clipping off the point and making small 'v' shaped cuts into the seam allowance along the curved sections.
Why 'v' shaped cuts? Good question! When turned through the fabric that lies around the seam allowance will become crumpled to follow the line of the curve, which can make the seams bulky. Making small 'v' shaped cuts removes some of this excess fabric allows the seam allowance to sit neatly around the interior of the curve, no bulk, no lumps, just neat tidy seams!
Through the small gap in the side seam, draw the headband through to the right side, being careful to neatly press out the points and seam lines fully.
Pro-Tip A knitting needle or a pencil is great for easing out those tricky pointed sections that are too small to get your fingers into – just go steady, you don't want to break the seams with the point of the knitting needle!
Press neatly ensuring all the seams are set neatly around the sides of the headband. Press the seam allowance along the gap neatly to the inside.
With a straight top stitch, work along the entire length of the headband with top stitching positioned 5mm from the outer edge of the project. The top stitching not only adds a decorative feature to the headband, it also serves the purpose of joining up the gap in the seam, start the line of stitching at the section where the seam allowance is tucked into the gap, starting here will help you to gauge the position of the stitches as this will need to hold the gap closed and secure. Continue top stitching around the entire headband, carefully pivoting on the points for a neat line of stitching.
Tah Dah! Press the headband and it is ready to knot around your head and wear with pride!

Head to Lead Adventure to Hire Yourself Some Mercenaries
August 19, 2013 by dracs
In times of need we might sometimes be forced to turn to sell swords and the citizens of Lead Adventures Bruegelburg are no exception as they release this motley crew of vagabonds.
Each of these mercenary miniatures is very individual in design with a lot of character behind each sculpt. You see them gathered together and you know there must be a story behind it.
This set of mercenaries is like a ready made Mordheim team, though they could easily be used in many other games. Their individual style means these minis would probably be best served in a skirmish game, rather than lost in a large unit.
The assassin is particularly versatile and that mask hanging around his neck means I might even consider him for Carnivale.
Fancy hiring any of this crew to do your dirty work?

No matter how you look at it, starting a new business means taking a risk. Actually, it means taking a lot of risks over a long period of time. This only works if you have two main qualities as an entrepreneur: an ability to find comfort in the midst of uncertainty, and the knowledge and instincts to calculate which risks are worth taking and which are recklessly ill-advised.
One of the first decisions wherein keen risk-assessment is needed is the decision about which industry to enter into. This isn't always a conscious, purposeful choice for every small business owner; there tend to be two ways that startup owners go about choosing what kind of business to start: either it's a natural evolution of their interests and experience, or they are career entrepreneurs who seek out opportunities rather than sticking to just one industry. There are positives and negatives to both routes to small business ownership, and when well executed, neither is inherently more prone to success than the other.
The truth is, starting any small business for any reason comes down to a matter of good timing. We're big fans of the expression, "There are no good ideas, just good execution" – and a pivotal part of good execution is picking the right time to launch a project or new business venture.
With this in mind, we've looked ahead to 2014 to try and predict which industries are poised to be the safest bets for new businesses. Obviously, a million things come in to play to determine how successful a new small business will eventually be, but by our estimation, the following 5 industries are as favorable as any in the coming year.
1. Job training and career counseling
With over 8 million jobs lost during the recession, there are still staggering numbers of Americans looking for work. More than ever, people are seeking new and original ways to obtain skill training, and assistance with job placement and career counseling. If your small business idea involves an innovative way to service these individuals, you could be well positioned to do well.
2. Translation services
The day is rapidly approaching when Americans are able to travel the world and do business in English without much trouble; already China has more English speakers than any other country in the world, and obviously it's not even their first language. But until then, we're in a middle ground where international travel and international business doings are very common, but not everyone is speaking the same language yet. This combination of circumstances makes now the perfect time for translators and translation agencies to enjoy a high volume of business.
3. Mobile app development
There's no big news here: companies are still incredibly interested in engaging their users on their mobile devices, but very few have the skills to figure out how to translate their service or product to a mobile medium, and even fewer know how to actually build, implement, and market mobile apps. Businesses who specialize in any of these tasks stand a good chance of survival in 2014.
4. Travel agencies
There was a time not so long ago when an article like this would have advised would-be business owners to absolutely not start a travel agency. The thinking was that with all the powerful travel websites out there, the role of travel agent has become obsolete. This was true – for a while. Now, we're starting to come full circle in the travel industry; first, websites came around and did away with the need for a travel agent, but now, the dizzying overpopulation of travel sites and rampant misunderstanding about how to leverage certain dates, times, and discounts to get the best possible deals on travel have resulted in the industry being as perplexing and headache-inducing to consumers as it was before the internet. And thus, the need for travel agents is returning – only this time, your role is largely about knowing how to expertly navigate and take advantage of travel sites.
5. Freight and trucking
This industry grew by over 10 percent in 2012 and growth has continued this year. There's no reason to think it won't continue into 2014 and beyond.

To put the conclusions and observations in context, the following is reorganized, edited and summarized from the full S-1 referenced above.
Avinger Business
AVGR is a commercial-stage medical device company that designs, manufactures and sells image-guided, catheter-based systems that are used by physicians to treat patients with peripheral arterial disease, or PAD.
Patients with PAD have a build-up of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the arms and legs. AVGR's mission is to dramatically improve the treatment of vascular disease through the introduction of products based on its lumivascular platform, the only intravascular image-guided system available in this market.
AVGR manufactures and sells a suite of products in the United States and select European markets. AVGR's current products include its Lightbox imaging console, as well as its Wildcat, Kittycat, and the Ocelot family of catheters, which are designed to allow physicians to penetrate a total blockage in an artery, known as a chronic total occlusion, or CTO.
AVGR is also developing Pantheris, its image-guided atherectomy device, designed to allow physicians to remove arterial plaque in PAD patients with precision.
AVGR expects its "revenues to increase as we continue to expand our sales and marketing infrastructure and introduce new lumivascular platform products including, if cleared by FDA, Pantheris."
Avinger Clinical Trials
Pantheris is currently undergoing a U.S. clinical trial intended to support a 510(k) submission in the second half of 2015 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA.
AVGR believes that Pantheris, if cleared by FDA, will significantly enhance its market opportunity within PAD and can expand the overall addressable market for PAD endovascular procedures.
Avinger Market
According to an article published in The Lancet, the global prevalence of PAD was estimated at 202 million people in 2010.
The prevalence of PAD in the United States alone was estimated at 18 million people in 2010 and is projected to grow to 21 million people by 2020 according to the Sage Group.
Despite its prevalence, PAD is underdiagnosed and undertreated relative to many other serious vascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, or CAD, in part because many PAD patients are asymptomatic or dismiss their symptoms as normal signs of aging.
Despite the relative undertreatment of PAD, Millennium Research Group estimates that over 570,000 catheter-based PAD procedures in the pelvis and legs were performed in the United States in 2013, which corresponded to a $1.0 billion market.
Millennium Research Group also estimates that the number of catheter-based PAD procedures will grow to almost 700,000 in 2017, representing a $1.2 billion market in the United States.
Higher diagnosis and intervention rates resulting from greater physician and patient awareness of PAD, as well as higher prevalence, may significantly expand the market opportunity for PAD treatments, according to the Millennium Research Group.
Current treatments for PAD, including bypass surgery, can be costly and may result in complications, high levels of post-surgery pain and lengthy hospital stays and recovery times.
Minimally invasive, or endovascular, treatments include stents, angioplasty, and atherectomy devices, which are catheter-based products for the removal of plaque.
These treatments also have limitations in their safety or efficacy profiles and frequently result in recurrence of the disease, also known as restenosis.
AVGR believes one of the main contributing factors to high restenosis rates for PAD patients treated with endovascular technologies is the amount of vascular injury that occurs during an intervention.
Specifically, these treatments often disrupt the membrane between the outermost layers of the artery, which AVGR refers to as the black line.
Avinger Intellectual property
As of December 31, 2014, AVGR held five issued U.S. patents and had 14 U.S. utility patent applications and 8 PCT applications pending.
As of December 31, 2014, AVGR also had one issued patent from the Japan Patent Office, one issued patent from the Chinese patent office, and one European patent which has been nationalized in Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and Ireland. As of December 31, 2014, AVGR had 29 pending patent applications outside of the United States, including in Australia, Canada, Europe, India and Japan.
As AVGR continues to research and develop AVGR Pantheris technology, AVGR intends to file additional U.S. and foreign patent applications related to the design, manufacture and therapeutic uses of AVGR atherectomy devices. AVGR'Sissued patents expire between the years 2028 and 2032.

Good movie BUT no story to begin with so u do not get to know the characters. Therefore u have no feeling one way or another for the main characters. You are just thrown into the middle of the war at Dunkirk and view the action but nothing about why they are in Dunkirk or what Dunkirk was really about. I and my friends were left liking the movie but not as much as we would have had we been invested a bit in the characters.
This is one of the absolute best World War II movies. The real story, so intense and real. No need for romance or any other silly Hollywood made up stories. Loved the beginning to the very end. On the edge of our seat during intense. We cannot thank our war veterans enough!
People expecting to see big Hollywood style melodrama should stay home. This is how it happened, all the longs endless hours of waiting for the troops on the ground, the night time surprise U-Boats attacks on defenseless ships as well as the slow paced daytime pounding of the Stukas which seem to come in just in time when you think you're finally going to escape from hell.
The real thing, no bells and whistles, no magic heroic moment with the big fanfare. Come and feel their fears and anguish hour after hour, minute after minute, until they were finally... home.
To the morons who fell asleep Go watch a J-lo movie
This movie was great! Tom Hardy always gives 110%. Yes, it can be a bit slow in spots, but this is a true story. People who don't know the history, back story leading up to Dunkirk will most likely not understand what's going on, and probably won't appreciate how good this film really is.
Put yourself in any one of those situations and imagine the anxiety and terror. This movie is the closest you will ever want to get to being desperate, afraid and alone. I saw this movie in IMAX and it was so moving and so real and so horrible. At the same time Dunkirk was such an amazing victory from total defeat. See this movie and imagine you are there!
The only complaint I have about the movie is that if you're not familiar with the start of WWII, or know how the Germans were able to cut off the Allied forces, then you will have no idea what's going on in the movie. The forces retreated to Dunkirk, were surrounded by advancing German forces, and cut off by the sea. This is a great movie if you take 10 minutes to review youtube videos on the subject before going. Harry Styles role could have been performed by a turnip.
The story was great but the movie was phony. At least a half dozen last second life saving moments. The background music was terrible. Just listen to it and you will surely agree. This is the worst musical score that I have evr heard. I expected so much more from this movie. Save your money stay home. I even hung around to see if there were any redeaming bloopers to see. There were none.
To all the people that didn't understand and to the one guy that fell asleep. If your old enough to know a veteran from WWII ask him or her if they didn't understand war or were bored ,fell asleep on a beach or field in France under fire. If you don't understand, stay at home and hide under your bed when the next war starts.. Or call in a Super Hero.
Did not depict hundreds of boats to rescue..should have had more personal
real stories of rescuers to stranded British and French troops!

God's Beloved
The basic principles of Christianity are presented here,
with the intention of demonstrating what sets
this religion apart from others.
Whereas an explanation of 'what God is' is provided in the article, "So, what is God", this particular section of the website discusses 'who God is' and how he relates to each of us personally.
This section of the website aims to give a
deeper understanding of where Christianity is 'coming from'. I maintain that Christianity has simple
core truths.
And these
simple truths are, in fact, what sets it apart from the other
great monotheist religions, Judaism and Islam.
However bear in mind that, as far as I am
concerned, followers of all the three monotheist religions believe in the
same God, even though they do call him by different names.
I personally chose Christianity for a
number of reasons. Although
perhaps surprising to the uninitiated again, one
reason was the probablity
of fact that
becomes evident when studying the Christian scriptures, and
supporting secular (non Christian) writings of that era. This is allied to the
apparent self proving nature of Christianity when it is applied with
faith in
life. And regular attendances across the broad Christian Church
importantly provided me with the chance to witness God's presence
Look, I know ... I know ... very well indeed, this may be hard to accept
initially, but see details of my own experiences introduced in the
article, "God's presence in the Church". I certainly admit I was surprised by what I saw and experienced there during my early years of faith!
But, what impresses me most
Christianity though is the value it places on 'love'. Importantly, from our human understanding of
God, his love of us is encapsulated in the concept of "grace". And it was grace that ultimately drew me to Christianity. More on that later.
This particular article, the first in this section of the website, begins with a brief overview of
Christian beliefs. If you wish to gain deeper knowledge on
any of the subjects that follow, then (as with the other
of this website) you can drill down into following and supporting articles.
can be done either by using the links as they appear within this
article, or by
accessing the
articles directly from the drop-down menu above. The
article continues with
explanations of Christianity's
rules of love and the behavioural attitudes
that Christians are expected to display within their lives.
Now, if all this seems a bit too much for you ... say if you are even
struggling with the possible existence of God ... please begin by
reading the article, "How to believe in God". Trust me on this one: if you are ready to believe, then you can!
follows here is a brief overview of Christian
beliefs. It endeavours to provide a solid platform for understanding
the balance of
this article and other articles within this section of the website.
I wrote earlier, "grace" was what drew me to Christianity. The term
relates to the way our loving God is always ready to give us
human beings far more than we rightfully deserve (not to be confused with
financial riches). Through his outpouring of grace, God demonstrates that he really
wants a loving personal relationship with each one of us. I read somewhere that the
concept of grace is so
far out there, that no human could ever have 'dreamt
it up'. I'll again expand on that later.
So, God's love for us is the underlying theme in
Christianity. Hence
the subtitle
for this article. I add that this subtitle should not be construed as
that God loves Christians more than Jews or Muslims. I do not think
that for a
moment. Rather, the title highlights how we, as Christians, primarily
think of
ourselves within our relationship with God.
The vast majority of Christians hold the Holy Trinity,
the concept of a triune God, as a central belief of their
religion. Christians believe that
Jesus is an essential identity within the 'Trinity'.
The Trinity
consists of God
the Father, God
the Son (or Jesus the Son of God) and God the Holy Spirit – three persons in one God. So,
despite the concept of the Trinity, all Christians believe
that there is only
one God.
The concept and God's reason for it, is not as complicated as at
first imagined – again please see the article, "The
Holy Trinity". The Trinity, as explained there, began with God's need to place his
loving presence in human form on Earth whilst still maintaining the existence of all
that is.
Following on then, most Christians believe that
whilst alive amongst us as a fellow human being over 2000 years ago,
was God incarnate,
i.e. Jesus was, and still is for that matter, God.
Because of God's love for us, Jesus provided himself as a living
sacrifice, the Lamb of God,
in order to pay for humankind's wrongdoings (sins). Through his
own death by crucifixion on the cross, Jesus thereby justified our
sins. As a result, 'faithful' Christians can be assured of eternal life
through the grace
of God. (Note this explanation makes use of the essential Biblical jargon that has been used for over two thousand years.)
Jesus felt the pain of
pre-execution torture and humiliation at the hands of his captors, and
then experienced physical exhaustion when forced to carry his own cross
much of
the way to the place of his execution. He felt the nails go through his
flesh. Once on the cross, he
felt the agony of losing his ability to breathe
freely – in
effect experiencing the slow and tormented death that he had known
awaited him.
In simple English, the average Christian
believes that Jesus thus died for them,
and his physical death on the cross
has paid
for any sins they have or might yet commit. In essence, the cost of all
our sins accrued throughout our lives, i.e. which would normally mean a
punishment of permanent death, is brushed aside as a result of Jesus' sacrifice for us.
It is also believed that the 'resurrection'
to new life and 'ascension' into heaven by Jesus, after his death 'on the cross', demonstrates most positively the victory
over death that is offered to us.
Again, the Christian religion's view of Jesus as God is essential
to understanding the depth of God's
unconditional love for
us, and his "grace", i.e. God became human so that he could
physically sacrifice himself for us. (Please see
the articles, "Jesus as God" and "Evidence of Jesus" for a better understanding).
For Christians, the common symbol of the 'cross' signifies: God's love for us; his grace, our forgiveness and victory over death.
Although some
'conjecture' exists between theologians on the subject, we
Christians are saved from
our sins so as to receive eternal life, if we:
A great proportion of Christians do accept these commitments.
Now the term "Jesus as our Lord and Saviour" is a
common term and therefore deserves an explanation here, even though it
is revisiting some of the beliefs already explained.
The 'Lord'
aspect of the above term requires explanation. It firstly refers to Jesus
as being God himself, i.e. the God of the Old Testament (the pre-Jesus
Books of the Bible); the great "I Am". As I have already indicated above, the Father and the Son are two persons of the Holy Trinity. Both declared themselves to be I Am within the Bible. The Father did so in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:14), possibly 500 to 600 years before Jesus was born, and then the Son did so in John 8:58. The two verses are quoted in full on the Home Page of this website.
The 'Lord' aspect secondly relates to Jesus (as God) being 'the boss'
to us humans, who are trying to obey him in life; to follow his
came to pass at the point of history that God knew would come. It was
time to relax on dogma. It was time to restructure rules and
relationships. It is clear now that we have a boss who dearly loves us
all and deals with each and every one of us (and humanity as a whole)
in an all knowing pragmatic manner.
aspect of the statement, as explained under the previous sub section,
is straightforward. We are to believe that
Jesus laid down his physical life in a very painful manner to pay for
our wrongdoings; our sins, so as to enable us to have eternal life. He
has saved each of us from permanent death after our physical lives end.
a result of being saved through faith, Christians are freed to
concentrate on a close loving relationship with God. In essence, that
is what God desires above all else; that is why we have been created.
Further discussion on
what it 'takes'
to be saved, as mentioned above, is included in the
supporting articles, "Christian
rules and laws" and "Heaven and hell". The moral dilemma of wrongdoing (sin), and its impact on our lives now, is also expanded in the next section of this article.
three great
monotheist religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) maintain that every one of us can enter into a
personal relationship with a God who: listens to each of us, tries to
speak to
each of us and offers guidance/ support to each of us. All three
believe that God
wants each of us to enter into that relationship with him. Actually, he
whatever means that become available to him to draw us into it
– encouraging us to respond to him. And, as with most religions,
despite God's love for us (or more likely because of it) Christians
accept that God has laid down rules to be followed. But unlike Judaism and Islam, Christianity views its rules in a different context.
I have repeatedly mentioned in this article why I chose
over the other two monotheist religions: Judaism
the oldest of the three,
Islam the youngest. Simply put, it is Christianity's principle of 'love':
God's love of us, encapsulated within his grace that
is given freely to us; and our
love of him. The rules of Christianity, or "Commandments" as they are called, are also 'love' related.
it comes to actual laws and rules for guidance in our lives,
himself provided clear advice. When asked, in the form of
a challenging question, which of the Ten Commandments (from the Bible's pre-Jesus Old Testament) was the most
important, Jesus answered, "Love
the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength
and with
all your mind." Then continuing, Jesus added, "Love
your neighbour as yourself." [Luke 10:27]
In answer to that question then, Jesus in effect provided two new
commandments that more than adequately covered the essence of the old
Ten Commandments.
So, love of God and our fellow humans
fundamentally underpins Christian 'law'.
Mind you, this is not to
say that other laws, i.e. within the Old Testament,
are of no relevance at all. Also Jesus himself added further standards
for us
to follow, and these are documented in the New Testament. Please see the article, "Christian
rules and laws"
to better understand
how rules and laws affect Christians.
God will definitely try
guide us
into what is
appropriate in our actions, if there
is any doubt about what is 'right
or wrong'
within our lives. This
in effect provides us with an element of proof
of God's
By the way,
the word 'love'
in the Bible (in relation to our fellow humans) means more 'to deeply care about' than as we apply
the word today, i.e. a deeper or more
significant emotion reserved for those who are very close
to us personally.
it is no surprise that if God did love us enough to become human and
subsequently die for us in agony, then he would expect love from us in
return. And Jesus highlighted the extent of love that is expected of
us, "...with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength
and with
all your mind".
Note too that Jesus provided us with the
ideal example of a human being to follow – himself! The Gospels
Testament books of
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) contain the words and actions of Jesus.
The concept of Jesus' 'revealing'
nature is incorporated within one of his alternative titles, "The Word". With regards to loving God (in his case the Father) the human Jesus clearly demonstrated that he did.
God's point of view, it is a case of the more Christ-like we can
become with his grace,
the closer our loving relationship with him becomes. As the Word, in this context, Jesus is our guiding light. Ultimately, contentedness with life
as growth towards Christ-likeness takes place, and our love of God increases.
With regards to our neighbours (i.e.
our fellow humans), it basically comes down to 'love' again. Each one of us is a loved child of God, and he
wants us all to deeply care for his other children. When we grasp that, we
can see that the old
Ten Commandments, i.e. those ones that relate to our fellow human
should not
need to be stated. For example, everybody should understand
that it is
wrong to steal from people
love (i.e. people that we 'care about' as much as we 'care
about' ourselves)! Similarly, we would not covert
(lust after)
or enter into adultery
with the life partner of
we deeply care for etc.
In other words,
new love-based law again encompasses the essence of all those
laws, and indeed goes beyond them! Please
read "Christian
rules and laws"
for a better
I suppose we can look to the
twentieth century example of Mother Theresa of Calcutta
for the
personification of love towards neighbour. This way of life (loving
care for
others) offers so much in return to us. All Christians are called to
it. And,
there is no better medicine for the human psyche than assisting others
in their
time of need. It has the potential to lift us from the mire of self
– leading us away from our all too common self destructive
tendency to dwell
our own
problems, needs and wants.
as God himself came to serve his beloved children through self sacrifice, in
the person of Jesus, so we Christians are called to serve our fellow
Even to the coldest enemies of
Christendom, it must be obvious how much good that Christians do in the
through their outreach services. Committed Christians always seem to be
in the
thick of it, where there is pain and suffering throughout Western
nations and the
world as a whole. It is their
commitment to faith, and recognition of the commandment to love one
that drives these people on – at times putting their own mortal
lives at risk.
Simply put, it is what Jesus would have done.
Most Christians accept that while obedience
to rules and laws (the 'two rules of love'
or for that matter complying with the Ten Commandments etc)
is important,
it is
not necessarily critical for the soul or its salvation.
Christianity essentially places
faith in Jesus
as Lord and Saviour above all
else, although it certainly does not ignore obligations that we should
meet. This
is the big difference between Christianity and the other major
religions of Judaism and Islam. Those religions place 'compliance
religious rules/ laws' at the same level of importance as 'belief
in God'.
The best summary in the Bible of how the law itself (rules, commandments etc), God's saving grace, and upholding those laws, all fit together is provided by St Paul. Please read Romans 3:19-34.
In essence, as Christians, we should
want to do his bidding because we do not want to disappoint our
loving God –
not because we are afraid of losing our souls. Of course, God expects
us to
'run the
best race' that we can, with the help of his grace.
And when we do wrong (commit sin) we should admit it to God and try
hard to not do it again. We love him, as we should love our human
parents, and
as with them, we don't want to disappoint him.
This principle, based on love
and faith, rather than rules
and faith, obviously offers
a shift from the Jewish and Islamic concentration on laws/
rules or 'legalism' as it is termed. Again, and all importantly,
it is not primarily about the rules, it is about having that deep personal, loving
relationship with God that we are called to.
Much of what is
expected of us by God in our day to day lives relates to this love of
humans – monogamous relationships, ethical dealings, placing
people and his
other creations above our personal desires etc.
Our general
attitudes towards our fellow humans should obviously flow from
Jesus' second
commandment. Jesus certainly would have denounced the 'holier
than thou'
attitude held by so many Christians over the centuries. As to our
personal presentation within the community, the prophet Micah offered this guidance
700 years
before Jesus'
what does the Lord require
of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
[Micah 6:8]
Even as a Protestant Christian myself, I recognise that
the late Catholic Pope John
Paul II presented us with an excellent example of holy humility during
papacy. The present Pope Francis is shaping up in a similar manner.
The Christian
principle of deeply caring for, and helping, others in need is in direct
with the
negative and memorable associations that so many people have with
– the ongoing behaviour of its bigots, its history of holy wars, sexual abuse of children by those in authority
etc. These all rest
so sadly with our religion of love. (Of course fervent atheists forget
balance Christianity's past and present good works against these
Christianity should
be a religion where its followers judge no one [Matthew 7:1-6,
James 4:12]. I offer the
example when Jesus was
whether an adulterous woman should be stoned to death as punishment
8:1-11]. What was Jesus' response? It was perfect, "Let
whoever has not sinned,
throw the first stone!" Shamed by the answer, the small crowd
drifted away
leaving Jesus and the woman alone together. Jesus compassionately
requested only
that the woman change her ways, i.e. repent.
Christianity is about recognising
the problems in our own
primarily trying to do something about that, and not fussing too much
about the
wrongs in the lives of others. In essence, the life of a Christian
should be his
or her statement to others on how to live.
This is not to say
we must condone all wrong committed by others. The laws of our society
be served for instance. And Christians are expected to stand up for the
oppressed. We should also make a non violent stand against those who
threaten the lives and souls of our fellow humans.
Nothing better
explains desirable Christian attitudes than the following verses
provided to us by Jesus, referred to as "The
[Matthew 5:3-10].
Blessed are the poor in
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
are those who are
persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of
Most importantly, remember that Christianity
is a religion that does not need a lot of theoretical knowledge,
upfront, before
you can practise it. Just be open to God; begin that relationship with him, and see how Jesus can
transform your life. If you need guidance on how
develop your belief in God, then read the article, "How to believe in God".
You will read there how to involve our loving God in your life; to walk
the walk. I am confident, just like so many other Christians, that
anyone can prove to themselves, beyond reasonable doubt, that God is real by simply putting faith to work within their lives.
Let God love you freely, and love him
back. He has an awesome presence once faith has been fully established.
recognising this, life will never be the same again.
There is no denying that deeper knowledge
of the Bible can, and should, come later due to the incredible depth of
and guidance that is contained within it. It is not difficult to see
purpose for Christianity through the Bible's themes –
which I have tried hard
to summarise in this article.
Exposure to Christianity, through church attendances, also
offers us the opportunity to experience this essence at work; to feel it!
Further evidence of God's
presence can be witnessed there as well. It is also there within the
Church that we are provided with the opportunity, when finally ready,
to formally commit ourselves to Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.

Fitness & Bodybuilding Event Photography
So I've decided to go on a mission to improve the overall standard of fitness & bodybuilding event photography here in the UK. Although I've photographed a fair number of big fitness events in North America, so far I've not really done much at home in England.
This will probably come across as a bit bitchy, even though its not intended that way. I've seen photos from the "top" bodybuilding event photographers in the UK over the last 5 or more years and the standard is quite frankly bloody awful.
This is partly due to the terrible lighting that so many of the events use. It's also not helped by the tacky advertising banners that most UK event seem to insist on placing directly in the middle of the stage. It wouldn't be so bad if they employed decent designs to make the banners look half decent.
When you add an average photographer into the equation who is more interested in the business of getting as many athletes as possible to sign up for their mediocre stage photography package, and well, the end result is not good.
Don't even get me started on the quality (or lack thereof) of the backstage photos.
I said don't get me started!
So back to my mission. What am I doing to try and improve the quality of fitness & bodybuilding event photography in the UK? Well, first of all I'm teaming up with fellow fitness photographer Matt Marsh for several shows this summer including Fitness Britain (England, Wales & Finals) and also FAME UK. We're going to be offering athletes an on the day price package of just £30 for stage and backstage photos.
Obviously we only have so much control over the quality of the stage lighting and the amount of crappy banners the event organisers throw up on stage behind the athletes, but its hopefully a step in the right direction.
The backstage photos however we can get to a much higher quality. Having spoken with Matt today, I know he's investing in some new studio kit so our end result will be hugely than a tatty bed sheet pinned to the wall!
Baby steps. :-)

Asian markets have gained amid positive manufacturing data from China and improved US home sales figures, although concerns on corporate earnings continue to impact sentiments.
Japan's Nikkei was up 0.60 percent or 53.58 points to 9007.88 at 03:56 GMT. South Korea's KOSPI gained 0.06 percent or 1.16 points to 1915.12.
China's Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.47 percent or 9.88 points to 2125.87. Hong Kong's Hang Seng traded 0.15 percent higher or 32.31 points to 21796.09.
Markets were upbeat after the HSBC Flash Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) showed that manufacturing in China is improving. The latest data, along with the improved export figures released earlier, add to signs of financial recovery in the world's second largest economy.
"Yesterday's improvement in HSBC's manufacturing activity survey has got tongues wagging that the Chinese economy is bottoming out," said Justin Harper, market strategist at IG Markets, adding that traders will be hoping that the data is not a flash in the pan.
Investors were further enthused after official data from the US showed that the country's new home sales jumped 5.7 percent to 389,000 in September, the highest in almost two and a half years.
However, concerns on corporate quarterly earnings continue to linger. Following mixed performance reports from some of the major US firms, the focus has now shifted to Asian companies.
Major Movers
Metal stocks traded higher in Japan. Nippon Steel was up 2.99 percent while Kobe Steel gained 2.99 percent. Japan Steel rose 1.57 percent.
Mobile service provider KDDI gained 5.13 percent after the company reported plans to take over Jupiter Telecommunications with Sumitomo.
Shares of Sharp reversed earlier gains following reports from the Nikkei that the company is expected to turn out a half year net loss of about $5 bn. Shares of Nintendo were down 1.07 percent after the company reported weak performance in the six months ending September and cut its growth estimates for the fiscal year.
Metal stocks traded higher in China as well. Chongqing Iron & Steel was up 10.16 percent while Liuzhou Iron & Steel and Nanjing Iron & Steel gained 9.93 and 9.91 percent respectively. Shares of Anyang Iron & Steel were up 7.76 percent.
Oil producer Cnooc was up 1.62 percent in Hong Kong after the company reported a 5.2 percent increase in quarterly revenue and revised its 2012 output target upwards. Shares of lifestyle retailer Espirit Holdings reversed earlier losses and gained 2.13 percent.
Hyundai Motors, which is expected to release its quarterly earnings report later in the day, fell 2.24 percent in Seoul. Shares of steel major Posco, which had earlier reported weak results, were down 0.15 percent.

Today, my eyes popped open after what seemed to be an eternal replay.
Last night, the same nightmare of all who have left me behind, turned and walked away from me came stronger than usual.
Today, I awoke with you in my eyes. Of the night you left me though I begged you not to say bye. You walked away from me. You left me in tears. You gave up. You left me for her, all because I got sick. What happened to the countless times you begged me to stay through your tears and I did?
At my first meal today, my stomach churned as I held back my vomit. With each bite I took, my chest tightened, my heart ached, my eyes dulled by the minute.
Today, again, no surprise for the wish of death.
What does 2018 mean to me. The beginning of the fourth year of this dizziness that has latched on to me.
Vertigo. Vertigo. Vertigo that won't go.
People come, people go, then people go, go and go.
"You're already 26 I don't know why you still haven't got over your hurts"
"It's been 2 years since he left you for her, why do you still have nightmares? Why are you still hurt?"
"Give people a chance. You're a one way street to dead end."
But… if the people never came what chance is there to give?
Did Jesus teach the sick to reach out to the abled or did Jesus teach the abled to reach out to the sick?
It seems like to be the former.
I'm the one who's sick but it's my fault that I didn't reach out to those who left me.
This world, is insane.
My sanity keeps getting poured on by the rain of these insensitive words.
My being, not much longer till I can hold out.
But, what about my sister when I leave? What will happen to her?
God, my prayers have come to naught. You are not as merciful as I thought.
Loving? Far from reality.
Be kind to one another,
xo, Faith

My life is not a carefully curated photo series. It's messy.my nails are chewed to stubs, my feet are very dirty and unkept, my hair is a mess, my face bears blemishes that I choose to not cover with makeup. I dress solely for comfort and personal joy and know nothing of what is currently the thing to wear. My kitchen is a disaster full of dishes on the counter both dirty and clean, a big ole bucket of scraps that should have been brought to the compost pile 2 days ago and the counters are cluttered with gadgets we use daily. There are toys, and shoes, and art supplies everywhere and if you venture upstairs there will be clothes on the floor of most of the rooms.
See I'm too busy loving my life to care. Playing in the garden, relaxing in my hammock, creating works of art (or creative messes more often than not),walking our also messy puppy,wading in the kiddie pool, enjoying the sound of water falling in the pond, cooking kick ass meals, and weeding weeding weeding.
So if you seek perfection I'm definitely not your girl. But if you think the idea of perfection is silly come on over let's be friends....especially if you like to do dishes. 😜

If boom-and-bust cycles can have what T.S. Eliot called "objective correlatives"–that is, embodiment in perceptible things–then the Super Bowl dot-com advertisements may well be the objective correlative of the bust to come. (Click here to download and view several of them.) Culturebox has never before heard so much sourly deflationary commercial speech delivered in a single four-hour period. With a few charming exceptions–such as E*Trade's three genuinely witty spots–the 17 Internet commercials out of the 30 aired during the game last night all fizzled by employing one of two equally offputting rhetorical strategies: 1) They tried to make the consumer feel bad about himself; or 2) they tried to get the consumer laughing with them, not at them–and failed. This consumer just felt like selling off her Internet stocks.
The booby prize in the bad-karma contest goes to Microsoft, with its paranoia-inducing airport-lounge spot, in which a business traveler dreams that he will be the last to board his flight because the stewardess is openly discriminating against "those passengers who run companies but still haven't figured out an e-business strategy." MicroStrategies (no relation, as far as Culturebox knows) also set its commercials in a claustrophobic airport terminal. In the first commercial of the two, an elegant cyberbabe glides by on a moving sidewalk while a schlub of a fatso struggles with his luggage and cell phone, getting voice message after voice message when he needs results now! In the second commercial, Microstrategies helps a sleek bespectacled global traveler protect himself against a nearly identical impostor. Guess which travelers use MicroStrategies!
The remarkable thing about the dot-com commercials, as opposed to those of their bricks-and-mortar competitors, was that the cutting-edge technologies employed the world's most old-fashioned advertising method–provoking a sense of alienation and insecurity in the viewer. The soda, the car, and the beer manufacturers wanted you to perceive their brands as an integral part of a happy, upbeat lifestyle. The dot-com folks wanted to impress upon you that you are a Luddite and a fool for failing to use their products. This was doubly insulting, because they never succeeded in telling you what those products were. It was easy to see that the stylishly multiculti men and women in the Agillion commercial singing Queen's "We Are the Champions" ("no time for losers") felt smugly triumphant. But about what? What exactly had Agillion and its "communications strategies" done for them? Ditto for Qwest's ads, filled with steamy cinematic allusions, terminally hip women, Jason Robards, and lots of rapidfire literary and cultural talk. But how does Qwest gain you access to original editions of Homer and obscure recordings of Bach, and why does that improve your bottom line? Even more obscure were OurBeginnings.com, which seemed to have something to do with battling brides; Netpliance, which seemed to have something to do with the taped bridges of big black glasses; and LifeMinders.com, which sends you e-mails about something or other if you want it to.
Here's something else Culturebox realized last night: If she never witnesses another ironic juxtaposition in a commercial again, her life will not be diminished. Enough with the cowboys who herd cats or take trips to Barbados! Enough with the high-end commercials that parody low-end commercials, such as e-stamp's 1950s-style pitch for the lawnmower that shreds documents too! The vast majority of these spots reeked of bad faith, of people with unclear business models and too much of other people's money and no concern about whether they'll be out of business in the next few years. The worst commercial was the one for the aptly named epidemic.com, in which we were forced to listen to the aural details of one hipster's bodily evacuations in a stylishly retro men's room. Yes, we know you think that you're cool and your product (whatever it is) is shit, but must you tell us about it?
Here were the winners in the dot-com sweepstakes: Oxygen, the women's channel, with a clever and sweet spot involving a female infant rejecting her pink hat and pink blanket and sparking a small anti-pink rebellion on the maternity ward. (A version of "I Am Woman" plays as a baby fist thrusts into the air.) E*trade, with its parody of an ER team attempting to save a man "with money comin' out the wazoo." But such islands of wit were few and far between. Culturebox, who will confess to a certain indifference to football, never thought she'd see a Super Bowl in which the drama on the field would be so much more compelling than the anticlimax of the commercial breaks.

Hello?10:18 AM Edit This 1 Comment »
Echoes anyone?
It has been a long time since I updated regularly. It's been a long time since I consistently created anything. That is going to change. I need to create. Even if all I am doing is creating inspiration for myself.
I'm working on a small sweater. When that is finished I shall show it off. In the meantime, feast your eyes on some things I found that I love.
The Crocodile Stitch tutorial!
Czech Glass Spider Buttons!!
I'm hoping to buy these buttons today!

Chicken wings!!!!! Need I say more? It's the ultimate go-to appetizer. Breaded, un-breaded, honey BBQ or lemon pepper. There are so many different varieties its hard for anyone to not want to explore them all until you find your fav. Trying a new restaurant for the first time and not sure what the food will be like? No problem, try out their wings and it should be easier to take on the rest of the menu from there. Headed to happy hour after a long day at work? Cool, your co-workers can order a set of wings for the table while you try to find good parking. You guys can argue about sauces when you get inside. Hosting a small shindig for an upcoming sporting event? Sigh, don't even get me started 😞😞😐. The point is, wings are simple and easy and go with pretty much anything. You can buy them at any restaurant or you can be like me and prefer to cook them yourself. That way you can experiment with your own special mix of rubs and sauces.
Then there is the Bahamian equivalency of chicken wings, fritters. Conch fritters are a local Bahamian appetizer that are always a crowd pleaser. Like any other type of fritter, it is made mostly from flour, seasonings, herbs and obviously conch. Though there are lots of persons who don't care for conch (such as myself) for whatever reason, there is no need to worry. Nowadays people have gotten creative with this local favourite by substituting the conch with lobster or shrimp. Got a seafood allergy? It must suck to be you 😝. However, more and more restaurants are offering completely meat-free fritters with nothing but deep fried flavour and that awesome dipping sauce 😋. Let's be real, once most people hear the words 'deep fried', the cooks could stuff the dough with sand and people will still attempt to at least taste the crispy exterior lol. However, with this appetizer, the deep fried yumminess only accounts for part of its greatness. Just like with wings, these are quick to prepare and very easy to eat.
Now what to drink?
For both of the above options I would suggest getting a bucket of your favourite beers and just have a good time. I am certainly not a big beer drinker. However, when it comes to these particular finger foods, who wants to be bothered with complicated mixed drinks or getting honey sriracha finger prints all over your wine glass. A cold beer with lower alcohol content can help douse the fire in your mouth when eating your favourite buffalo wing sauce. The point being that the lower alcohol content won't accentuate the heat from the flavours your tongue is battling.
Additionally, the dough from the fritters can serve as a filler to help cut back the impending bloated feeling that can occur after a few beers. Both of the mentioned food options may be higher in calorie content (due to the breading and sauces) but that issue can easily be balanced with a light beer that can still give you a feel-good buzz with less than 200 calories.
Let me know below what you think about the above mentioned combinations and stay tuned for my next post.

Its Raining "Cats and Dogs" here in Patna. It is well known that here when it rains it also brings floods in villages and even in the City. It is absolutely true as i witnessed during my visit here today in the morning. It was literally Pouring 'Heavily' from the heavens as the sky looked "Gloomy Grey" .But it wasn't good to begin the day with powercuts as early as 5 AM. And it was hard and hot. Infact it was Dry since it did not started to rain then and no wind too.
Water Pools Created in my Apartment Gardens
All my family members got up early today but for a different reason (i.e Power Cuts) though plan was to go to Hazipur for hiking and we had to cancel our trip to country site because of this downpour, which started in a quite awkward fashion.Reality was that it felt really bad to miss a day of travel and even a glimpse of chance to carry forward our trip were washed away soon as the rains went on and on and on....... We decided to enjoy the weather now with all plans Cancelled and all on our mind was to enjoy the rain even more, as it's not usual when we see rains for more than 7 Hours. The nature bathed away all the summer dust and paved way to greener and cooler atmosphere. After nearly 7 hours, the rain stopped with mild drizzle during it's final stages and wind settled down giving rise to a bit more humidity.
Waterlogged Road in front of my Apartment.
The "Jamun" Tree looks more greener due to Heavy Rains
But as i write to write this post, still under Gloomy Sky over my house, wind has started to blow across my house through my windows, that give me a very pleasing effect on my dull daily life. Cool and Calm may be the right words to describe such a weather.
Gloomy "Grey" Sky
Certainly, it was great day for Rain Lovers but not the same for travellers as it was a good and important day lost. But one more thing i would like to end with and it's the fact that people surely don't sing the song "Rain Rain Come Again ....." in this part of the world because repeated events such as these are quite menacing.

In the 1800's, justice and evangelism were linked. In the 1900's, justice and evangelism were divorced in the church and justice was often ignored in the pursuit of evangelism. Is our 21st century culture doing the opposite: ignoring evangelism in the pursuit of justice?
"The danger is always over-compensation," says Dr. Soong-Chan Rah, Author and Professor of Church Growth and Evangelism at North Park Theological Seminary. But sometimes when something has been unbalanced for a long time, it has to be unbalanced in the other direction for a little while before it can level out. "I think we've been in a compensatory stage." The hope is that after this brief unbalance in favor of justice we can return to an integrated, balanced view of the relationship between justice and evangelism.

Playing the Field
Just because someone is dating, that does not mean that they are looking for or even want a true love. There are plenty of people out there who enjoy and love the single life because they have the ability to casual date. They are single because they aren't in a committed relationship but they casual date as they please. They do this for several different reasons for example, they were hurt in the past and don't want to be hurt again, they don't like the package and responsibility of being in a relationship or maybe they just simply are at the point in their lives where they are ready to settle down. So instead they move along from one to the next without any strings attached.
There is nothing wrong with casual dating but the key is to do it safely. This means to be responsible about it. It also means you should be safe by following suggestions on what to do when you meet people and rules to follow so that you don't find yourself into trouble. There are benefits to both casual relationships and long term relationship and how someone chooses to date is completely up to them.

Dan Clements eased Stamford's relegation worries with a terrific treble in the Evo-Stik League Northern Premier Division derby at Grantham this afternoon (April 6).
Clements blasted three goals in a superb first half for the Daniels with Richard Jones also heading home to make it 4-0 at the break. Gregg Smith saw a weak penalty saved by the Grantham 'keeper at the start of the second-half and within minutes Grantham converted a penalty, but there were no further goals.
It was a first win in 11 matches for Stamford who moved out of the relegation zone, but they will need to pick up points in their final three games to stay out of trouble.
There was also a good win for promotion play-off chasers Spalding in Division One South.
They also enjoyed a cracking first half against visitors Lincoln United, turning round 3-0 up through strikes by former Posh player Matt Nolan, Dan Banister and man-of-the-match Nathan Stainfield. The second=half was goalless and Spalding remain fourth in the table.
In the ChromaSport & Trophies United Counties League Premier Division, there were no goals in the game between Wisbech and Holbeach while Deeping won 2-1 at Boston thanks to a Spencer Tinkler equaliser from the penalty spot and a 76th minute winner from Jamie Graham. Deeping also had Joe Braithwaite red-carded with a quarter-of-an-hour to go.
It's been a dismal Easter weekend for Wisbech who couldn't convert any of numerous chances at the Fenland Stadium. For a 0-0 it was an action-packed contest with both teams claiming they were denied a blatant spot-kick. Wisbech have now lost second place to Thurnby Nirvana, but both teams are nine points behind champions-elect AFC Rushden & Diamonds who could wrap up the title this weekend (April 11).
Huntingdon's miserable run continued as they were walloped 5-0 at Eynesbury.
In Division One, second-placed Peterborough Sports romped to a 7-1 win at bottom club S&L Corby while Bourne came from behind to beat Blackstones 2-1. Martin Holyoak scored a first-half penalty for Blackstones and Zak Munton levelled on the hour mark for Bourne before Aaron Jesson struck the decider in a keenly-contested derby.
Sports are back up into second place after goals from Jack Barron (2), Jon Stead, Ali Nyang, Matty Cox, Gary Gibbs and Matt Simpson against the division's whipping boys, but it will only be a temporary status as teams with games in hand are queuing up to overtake them.
March drew 0-0 at Team Bury in Thurlow Nunn Division One.
There's a United Counties Premier Division derby at Yaxley tonight when Peterborough Northern Star are the visitors.
