Photography related projects for CEF
New barn roof at Kilchzimmer
In search of a Christmas card photo
It's only February and we're already planning ahead for Kilchzimmer's next Christmas card because when the time comes to print the card (Oct.) we don't usually have snow at Kilchzimmer.
There are challenges to getting a photo of Kilchzimmer in great light (morning or late afternoon), fresh snow on the ground, clear skies, and being available.
When we first moved to Switzerland, a Swiss told me that if I didn't like the weather, wait five minutes – it'll change! Weather here is hard to predict. So it's no wonder that this morning was my third attempt at getting a good winter photo of Kilchzimmer from either the high vantage point of "Ankenballen", or from the pasture on the opposite hillside. The Ankenballen hike was treacherous with deep snow and a steep icy climb up rocks, so I didn't want to risk slipping off the cliff again.
Today I went for the view from the hillside pasture with the advantage of having a path blazed through the drifts from my last photo excursion. All this was a last minute decision, arriving at the office this morning dressed for sitting in a cozy building.
The fog hadn't lifted but you could see the blue sky through the haze. That gave me an hour to hike and get in position. The hoarfrost falls off the trees as soon as the sun cuts through the fog.
I had my gear set up and only had to wait a few more minutes for the dramatic shot – when the fog line would drop below Kilchzimmer.
Suddenly waves of fog rolled in again. My perseverance turned to stubbornness as I stood there for two hours waiting for the fog to drop into the valley.
I needed to take my mind off of freezing toes, so I occupied myself – even resorted to taking my very first "Selfie"!
I finally returned to the office with no winter photo of Kilchzimmer. At least I got some much needed exercise, a few scenic photos, and a selfie!
Time to get psyched up for attempt #4 at a Kilchzimmer Christmas card photo – as soon as we get fresh snow, clear skies, and great light.
View from Kilchzimmer
This was the view from Kilchzimmer at 8:00am this morning after an overnight rain. It makes for an encouraging start to the day when we can get above those dreary clouds in the valley. If we get caught in early morning work traffic, that really means we got behind a tractor or the cows were crossing the road after milking.
[Fuji X-T1, 18-55mm, LR]
Promotional presentations
Over the coming days I'll be taking photos and putting together several promotional presentations (.ppt) for workers at the CEF European Regional Office.
Sometimes getting the right angle for a photo requires a bit of (physical) flexibility …I nearly got my head and camera wedged between the railings in the narrow space leading to the cellar.
Besides being drawn to the interesting colors and patterns in this scene, I took the photo to show all the work and preparations needed for serving the many students passing through Kilchzimmer. Sonja has quite the collection of home made jams and preserves in the cellar.
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland (July 2013)
I've included a selection of photos from a recent ministry trip to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland – July 1-16, 2013. The primary purpose of the trip was to photograph the different CEF ministries in this region for use in promoting the work, recruitment, informing prayer partners, raising finances for projects and national workers, etc.. Our daughter Sarah joined me and was responsible for taking video footage that will be used for promotional materials.
Kilchzimmer projects – photo challenge
In CEF we usually need photos of children or CEF ministries. Wires, circuit boards and pipes are not normally on my list of subjects to photograph. Kilchzimmer is raising finances for three urgent needs and will be including an insert with the Kilchzimmer newsletter. Projects include a vehicle, regulators for the heating system and a new phone system.
My photo challenge was to make an old dusty telephone circuit board of wires and switches not only semi-recognizable but also visually interesting. The heating system with it's regulators and control units had a few more photographic possibilities.
I needed to keep the photos true and accurate so Photoshoping smoke, sparks, or steam into the images wasn't an option. 🙂
Create an Armenian prison at home
In the Multimedia department we occasionally get requests for promotional presentations in PowerPoint®. These presentations are used to share with Christians about CEF projects, ministries and needs within CEF. These presentations help in the evangelism of children by challenging and informing Christians to pray, financial support is raised for workers and projects, and Believers are encouraged to take an active role in the ministry.
One of the challenges of a presentation is having effective images to go with the written text. This past week we had a tight deadline to find visuals for several literature projects and testimonies. We had a few gaps.
We were missing a visual to accompany a testimony of how the CEF Wonder Devotional Book was being distributed to all the inmates at an Armenian women's prison. There seems to be a shortage of Armenian women's prisons near Kilchzimmer so I quickly set up one … in our apartment living room!
The one item we did have was an Armenian WDB! Next step, ask my wife if I could photograph her with messed up hair and harsh, unflattering light. She was a willing model. Oops…. I forgot to mention to her that the image might show up on our blog for friends and family to see. As for the prison cell I had to suggest it with the use of cast shadows. A bed sheet was draped behind Sue. I shot the flash through paper strips to cast "bar" shadows on her, which was semi-successful, so I ended up going with option two of creating the prison bar shadows inside Photoshop.
The second photo above was also taken for the presentation. I bounced flash #1 (hidden behind laptop) off of a white paper on the laptop screen. Flash #2 filled in behind the boy, making it easy to mask him from the background. Flash #3 on low power, was at the end of the table to light up the back of the laptop. The "apple" logo was removed in Photoshop. 😉
You might recognize the boy from previous projects like the Meet the Author visuals or the cover of the Polish "Wonder Why" booklet.
That's a glimpse into what goes into quickly creating an image for a presentation. These presentations can be an effective communication tool.
Photo resources
There is a constant need for photos in our work. Having access to the right (quality) photos to effectively communicate the message is one of the biggest challenges we face in designing materials.
We have several options for getting photos. There are online stock libraries which work in some instances but do not represent specific CEF ministries. For CEF ministries in action we regularly request photos from our workers across Europe … and then wait. There are other times when photos are needed for a project requiring a certain lighting, setup, positioning, image quality, etc..
Here are some photos I took this past week of our European Director's grandchildren visiting from France. They were great models. While setting up the lights in their apartment I was reminded of what one photographer said, "Good portraits are 10% photography and 90% moving furniture!".
These photos will be part of a short 3-5 min. video I'm preparing that will be shown in churches across Europe and made available in many languages. I was able to control the lighting and get the consistent results needed between all the photos in the project. Photos like this can be used again for future literature projects.
Technical notes: I imported the photos into Adobe Bridge, edit them in Camera RAW, then opened in Photoshop to mask the subject from the background (creates a transparent background around subject). This allows me to place the subject as a floating object against any background.
Children's Ministry Leadership Course
The 3-month Children's Ministry Leadership Course recently started up at Kilchzimmer.
The Autumn course has 18 students taking the classes in German and 12 students taking the classes in English.
It can be a challenge waiting for a good photo day. This afternoon, I quickly snapped photos of each class … in between the big gusts of wind, blowing leaves and hair. You'll notice I asked someone to hold down the flash and umbrella stand from flying away. The rain came as soon as we finished. That's Swiss weather!
Photographer notes: I used the flash (manual setting) to help warm up the shadows on the faces and fill in around the eyes. The flash helped to counter the cool overcast day and surrounding green reflecting onto their faces. Because I used a single umbrella for a group shot, I had the umbrella center pointing toward the far end of the group, feathering the light across those nearest the umbrella and giving an even coverage of light across the entire group.
Multimedia Summit '08
(photo 1) Tim teaching seminar on Photoshop, Digital Imaging, and Illustration guidelines.
(photo 2) Group photo.
We had an encouraging week of meetings with valuable discussions/teaching continuing outside of class from morning until bed-time! You would have several workers sharing challenges they faced with literature in their country, then someone else would share their solution to the problem, so the week was not just for workers to learn but to also share their experiences with others.
We finished the week tired … but it was a good tired!
Multimedia Summit '08
Materials: a chair, a disposable white plastic table cloth, and common household/utility lights (or use sunlight!).
Result: A macro photo studio at no cost, that stores flat and goes anywhere!
This is just one example of what I will be sharing in the Digital Imaging/Photoshop seminar. There will be around 45 key CEF literature workers coming to Kilchzimmer from all over Europe and as far away as Central Asia for training in the production of literature and coordinating the literature ministry in their countries. The Multimedia Summit will be held the last week of February.

Soraka Humor Guide by JPlayah

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
What's so cool about Banana Fear Soraka?
Have you ever gotten stuck with an all AP team? Do you want to make your AP team comp viable? Do you simply want to watch as your team's mages destroy the enemy team with no concern for how much magic resist your opponents stack? Would you like to see your opponents' MR be reduced to a negative value? If you answered yes to any of these, I present to you the solution: Banana Fear Soraka!
Soraka is the single best champion for amplifying magic damage in the game. No other champion can kill MR faster than Soraka. With this guide, you will be throwing more bananas per second than anyone and reducing enemy MR by 98 in less than 7 seconds! If an enemy stays around for 15 seconds, you can reduce their MR by a total of 168! NOBODY is going to survive your mages after that! This build even scares Galio!
When should I use this build?
You should play Banana Fear Soraka when:
:: Your team has at least 3 AP champs
:: You have an AP laning partner (like AP Master Yi)
:: You have an AP carry who you know will get hyperfed with your help
You should not play Banana Fear Soraka when:
:: Your team has only 1 AP champ
:: You have an AD laning partner
Your tools in game
As Banana Fear Soraka, you have a number of tools at your disposal for ensuring your survivability and your team's success.
Consecration: Your passive. This gives nearby allies some bonus MR. Not the best passive, but it's okay.
Starcall: This is one of your main skills. Spam it in between basic attacks. Try to hit enemy champs with this as much as possible.
Astral Blessing: Press W to dispense healing.
Infuse: This is a great tool for keeping your mages in lane. It's also useful when you're fighting an enemy and you run out of mana, or for stopping an assassin like Kassadin from finishing one of your teammates.
Wish: Press R to save your teammates from across the map. When playing against Karthus, save it until he uses his ult, then use yours to ruin his day.
Runes and Masteries
Your main focus with your pregame setup is to make sure that you can keep doing your job well. This means that you want things like mana, cooldown reduction, and some defense.
Teleport is cool because it lets you go where you want and means you don't always have to spend 30 seconds walking back to your lane.
Exhaust is pretty awesome because it keeps enemies from running away and nerfs their damage output. With the offensive mastery, it also reduces armor and MR. This definitely helps you.
Flash gets you out of ganks or helps you land that last banana on fleeing enemies. BANANA FEAR!!!
Core Items
Ionian Boots of Lucidity: These boots are great. They help you reach your goal of 40% cooldown reduction so you can spam your Starcall more often. You might be wondering why I don't recommend Sorcerer's Shoes. The reason for this is that magic penetration and MR reduction don't have great synergy. Magic pen can't get an enemy's effective MR below 0, and it applies after MR reduction. Also, magic pen doesn't help your allies whereas MR reduction does. Since your goal is to get your enemies' MR down as fast as possible, Ionian Boots of Lucidity are a better choice.
Malady: This very underrated item is a key part of your build. Not only does it give you attack speed and bonus magic damage on your basic attacks, it makes your bananas shred MR.
Abyssal Mask: This thing lets you reduce your enemies' MR by 20 just by standing near them! The AP and MR also helps.
Runic Bulwark: As a squishy support champ, you need to keep yourself and your teammates alive. This item helps you do both with health, armor, and magic resist.
Additional items
In addition to your core build, slow effects and cooldown reduction will help you a lot. Below are the best options for Banana Fear Soraka.
Slow Effects
Frozen Mallet: This item is best for single target slowing. The slow effect is quite strong, and the item gives you more health than its AP counterpart.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter: This item is best for team fights. It affects more people at once when you use your Starcall, but the slow isn't as strong as the one on Frozen Mallet and it doesn't hold enemies in place quite as effectively. Also keep in mind that the range of Starcall is slightly less than Soraka's basic attack range. The extra AP can be useful, however.
Cooldown Reduction
Athene's Unholy Grail: This item helps your mana regen and gives you more AP and MR.
Frozen Heart: Take this item when you need lots more mana or armor to survive against AD champs.
Morellonomicon: This helps your AP and mana regen. It also makes it more difficult for enemies to heal when they have low health, resulting in easier kills.
Nashor's Tooth: This item gives you even more attack speed and ability power. It is best to take this in games when enemies don't seem to be focusing on you, since that means you'll be able to use the attack speed to its full potential.
Playing the Raka
The most important thing to remember when playing Banana Fear Soraka is that she is incredibly squishy, even with defensive items. To avoid being hunted down, you have to intimidate your enemies so that they don't want to go near you.
In the early game, you can help establish lane dominance by striking from the bushes with basic attacks and Starcall. Spam your Q whenever your enemies get too close. This will force them to back off. In addition, they will be frustrated because they are getting zoned by a Soraka, and this will throw off their game because they are being harrassed by a support character.
If possible, try typing "RAKA RAKA RAKA RAKA" in all chat after bringing down enemies. This lets your enemies know that you are one crazy Soraka and that you are not to be underestimated.
Throughout the game, drop hints in the all chat as to what you are doing. Things like "Hey, where did your MR go?" and "Why are you dying so easily to our mages? Don't you have magic resist?" will infuriate your opponents since there is no real counter to your strategy. In fact, the only way for a champion to face your team and not have their magic resist drop to nearly zero is to build so much of it that it starts cutting into their core build. If they focus you, your carries kill them and you win. If they don't focus you, you nerf their MR to 0. Then your AP carries kill them and you win.
I was inspired to play Soraka by this video, which taught me that just because a champion is good at supporting doesn't mean they can't take on an offensive role.

If you are not a lover of sesame oil then just use 6 tablespoons vegetable oil, to make things easier you may use packaged coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw, I suggest to pour the dressing onto only the salad you will be using right away as it tends to get soggy if left in the fridge with the full amount of dressing ;-)"

What were the significant cultural and intellectual developments in the ancient world?
- print Print
- list Cite
There were so many different significant cultural and intellectual developments in antiquity that it is somewhat difficult to summarize them, especially as "antiquity" or "the ancient world" includes a period of 3500 years and covers most of the globe.
Important intellectual, as opposed to technical developments included mathematics, which became the foundation for science. Both arithmetic and geometry were well developed, and it was possible to predict eclipses using observational data and calculations. Math was also important for architecture and building. Medicine was important in Mesopotamia, and many of the principles of medical practice and theory and ethics continued to develop in Greece and Rome. Other important developments included philosophy, law codes, visual arts (especially sculpture, painting, and pottery), literature (poetry and drama), history, and biology.

20 Encouraging Bible Verses about Strength and Hope
There will be many times in our life when we face challenges, hardship, loss, loneliness, and doubt. But the Bible reminds us that God is for us and He works all things together for good.

But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
17) Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
18) Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.
19) 1 Corinthians 15:57-58
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
20) Isaiah 40:28-29
Hopefully these 20 Bible verses about strength and hope remind you that God loves you. God tells us many times in the Bible that He can give us comfort and peace if we give Him our hearts.

NAPFM: U.K.'s National Association of Police Fleet Managers
Written by Roger Blaxall
0 Comments
The expression, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going," summarizes the many challenges lying ahead for U.K. emergency services fleet managers in light of the drastic cuts on their budgets that will shape the way future 999 fleets are run. (999 is the U.K. equivalent to 911 in the U.S.)
It is a given that the 25 percent cutbacks will have an inevitable effect on all areas of fl eet management. It will be interesting to see how the resilience, ingenuity and nascent "thinking outside the box" mentality are tested as fleet managers ensure that front line services are not affected too much.
The National Association of Police Fleet Managers (
) annual conference and exhibition is now at its third new venue in 10 years. The conference outgrew Devizes and Wiltshire County. The event's new home—the East of England Showground near Peterborough in Cambridgeshire County—was praised by many as much more compact and easy to reach, and it has excellent facilities.
U.K. fleet managers are now under tremendous pressure to run greener, meaner and more cost effective fleets—all with reduced budgets. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Coming soon is a new generation of hybrids, including diesel hybrids, plug-in electric cars and exciting developments with traditional petrol (gasoline) and diesel power.
All this was against a backdrop of the new National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) vehicle agreements announced in late 2010. Antiquated arrangements with a multiplicity of manufacturers have been slimmed down in a groundbreaking "approved vehicle list." This agreement will save the Police Service millions and ensure a much leaner supply line for customers and manufacturers.
BMW took pride of place in the atrium where their cars and bikes made for an impressive display. The first police vehicle offering 5-Series was on display, while the headline grabber was a concept Interceptor 3 Series now doing the rounds as a competitor to the Mitsubishi Evo X. A selection of 'X' models including the new 1, 3 and 5 were also on display, some in armored specifi cation.
The company's Mini brand is now as well known as the Brit designed original that was launched back in 1959. BMW's version is being touted as ideal transportation for softer police roles including transport for Community Support Offi cers.
Ford has made large strides with its product range in the last two years. Its Fiesta is a consistent best seller. A new Focus launched in mid March, taking the fight back to GM's U.K. arm Vauxhall with its Astra series and rivals from Volkswagen with its Golf and Korean newcomers like Hyundai. Meanwhile, its updated Mondeo has received a raft of improvements with leaner, cleaner and greener petrol and diesel engines. The 2010 vehicle highlights on display were the turnkey Fiesta and Focus and a concept "one box" Mondeo for both police and paramedic fleet use.
The Honda stand showcased the latest models from its impressive car range. The midsized CRV is still a popular choice with paramedic fleets while its new hybrid/electric sports car is not just a flight of fancy; watch this space for how Honda will develop the electric car over the next few years. Hondas are popular with covert use in a variety of roles. U.K. criminals can still be taken aback by officers in a Pacific Rim badged police car, although many of its vehicles are now built in England.
From 0–400 in the last five years! It's an impressive track record, and Hyundai has earned its stripes with numerous police fleets thanks to the hard work of Gavin Thompson and his team. Thompson, ex-police and government sales manager for the defunct MG Rover group has spearheaded Hyundai's sales to 999 fl eets since late 2005.
The mainstay of police sales has been the i30 series in comfort diesel spec, which comes as a hatch or good looking estate. The Met will be a new customer for the car, which is a midsized rival to the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and VW Golf. Hyundai is part of the same group as Kia and markets almost identical cars in the U.K. However, the company has set the pace in the U.K.'s 999 markets and is looking for even more sales thanks to its success in the recent NPIA agreement.
The rise of Jaguar has been nothing short of spectacular since enterprising Indian businessman Ratan Tata's group bought Britain's premier luxury car manufacturer from Ford three years ago. No less than seven XF Diesels are now on duty with the Central Motorway Police Group based in Birmingham in the English Midlands. Offi cers maxed out the top speed of an XF Diesel during tests at a race with an incredible 177 mph.
Jaguar's new XJ Diesel—touted for senior offi cers only—is priced from around $120,000. It will be a brave police authority who signs on that dotted line, but seeing the display model at the show, you can understand the XJ's allure.
Land Rover
Along with Jaguar, Land Rover has also seen a resurgence in the last two years with product led recovery very much a reason for its growth. The new Discovery has taken the mantle of the bigger and more expensive Range Rover, while the Defender is still flying the flag for the U.K. in a multiplicity of front line applications worldwide. The British car rescue organization the Automobile Association (AA) has ordered another six for specialized duties when disaster strikes.
Mitsubishi is now the leading supplier of Japanese built vehicles for 999 fl eets in the U.K. With Lexus, Mazda, Suzuki and Toyota all absent from this year's show, the firm can only go from strength to strength with vehicles like the Outlander and the much cleaner 2011 Shogun. Meanwhile, its diminutive iMiEV—co-developed with the French PSA group for its Peugeot brand—shows how quickly electric cars are developing for mainstream policing in city centre roles.
No big news from Nissan for 2010 as it's been concentrating its efforts on renewing its passenger car range. It was left to its new NV 200 (winner of the International Van of the Year contest) to fly the flag along with a revised Qashqai, one of the company's most successful crossovers with more than 1 million made for markets worldwide.
Peugeot had a lot to live up to in 2010. After winning the prestigious Stand of the Year for its display at Cheltenham in 2009, the team fared well, reflecting the staggering variety of products that bear the Peugeot name—everything from pedal cycles to light commercial vehicles. It celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2010, but in the last five years it's been making big strides in the police and ambulance markets.
That Proton continues to exhibit at the event is testament to the firm's decision to maintain a profile—albeit low—in the 999 market where it's best known for LPG powered cars. It's kept faith with this alternative fuel that's now a third of the price of regular gasoline, at approximately 70 p per U.K. liter. And that price is capped for the next three years to give fleet managers fuel for thought. Humberside Police has recently ordered another 40 Impian saloon LPG models for its fl eet.
Subaru has a new weapon in its 999 armory. The Impreza STi now comes as a good looking option for high-profile road policing roles. Importers International Motors has suffered like other manufacturers of specialized, high performance models during the last few years, but its cars always receive deserved praise from offi cers who appreciate the breadth of abilities the cars offer for high-performance police roles.
A lifetime warranty for its cars might be good news for retail customers—but how will it work in the tough 999 markets? That's one question that will only be answered in the next few years. True to its word, Vauxhall is offering that generous warranty on all emergency service vehicles. On display were the latest Astra Estate (made in the U.K. in Cheshire County), the award-winning Insignia Tourer, and a selection of Corsas, its smallest car in the U.K.
Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG), better known through its Audi, SEAT, Skoda and VW brands, put on another "show of force" at the event with one of the largest stands. It's been good news for all four parts of the company. Audi is setting the pace thanks to two of its many police offerings: the legendary Quattro drive train and array of fast but frugal diesel engines that are available in its A4, A6 and Q7 models. SEAT had little new on offer, while Skoda proudly displayed the new Superb Tourer series. VW reported healthy interest in cars like the Golf Plus and its new contender in the pickup market, the Mexican sourced Amarok.

Personalized Video Tutorials
Post-processing is an essential part of Photography. You very rarely get the perfect image you want straight out of the camera since it's a limited tool.
One of the most common questions I get are about how to properly process an image.
The reason is: processing seems complicated. A software like Lightroom seems overwhelming. Where to start? What do all the different sliders do? How do I bring out details in my image?
For this reason, I am offering personalized video tutorials on how to process an image of your choice for the small price of $20.
Here's how it works:
Pick a photo you'd like to have edited. I highly recommend shooting in RAW if your camera allows it as you get the best results. If not, a jpeg should be ok (but not as efficient as a RAW file). I will then send you a video with the following:
– You will get a constructive feedback of your image (exposure, composition, story, etc..) and I will point out what can be improved in post-processing.
– You will get one of your own images edited by me in Lightroom.
– I will explain in details WHAT I am doing to your image and WHY I am doing it.
– I will cover:
– How to import your image in Lightroom.
– What are the 2 most important modules in Lightroom.
– What are the sliders and options I am using.
– Why I am doing it and my creative choices.
– If necessary, I will import in Photoshop or other third-party software to tweak some details.
– How to make your image ready for publishing on Internet/Social Media.
– How to resize and watermark your image.
– How to export your final image.
The video will be shared only with you through Dropbox (as a downloadable link).
Basically, for the price of $20, you get your own personal video with:
- A critique of your image.
- A step-by-step edit + the final edited image.
- A mini Lightroom tutorial.
- Tips on how to improve your image for the future.
Please follow the instructions below to make it easy for both of us:
– Add your email address below and proceed with the payment. Your email is only needed for identification and communication purposes and will never ever be sold or shared to anyone.
– I will send you a confirmation email and instructions on where to send the image.
– Once the image is received, I will record the video within a maximum of 72h and send it to you through a downloadable link.
Thank you and happy shooting.

Becoming a professional film actor is a very difficult process. Improvisation allows movie actors true expressive freedom, since they themseleves don't know how the situation is going to turn out. In professional acting, improv is also used to cover up momentary lapses, so the audience isn't startled. The actor?s performance is mediated by particular performance signs including facial expression, emotion, and vocabulary.
Classical acting is an umbrella term for a philosophy of acting that integrates the expression of the body, voice, imagination, improvisation and script analysis. Method acting by comparison, is a range of techniques based on for training movie actors to achieve better characterizations of the characters they play. Part of the training includes actors memorizing lines and therefore being able to work without a movie script. Other acting classes may include mask work, improvisation, and showing emotion for the camera. Beyond consideration for Samuel Merritt University film courses online, you may think about Cayuga CC study skills for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Pommee Cross
also known as the Bezant Cross
An apple a day...
...makes 365 apples a year!
Pommee Cross
The solid blob on the end of each arm of the Pommee Cross represents an apple, and apples represent the fruits and rewards of living a good Christian life.
In the Bible the apple is always referred to as a treasured item; either as a sweet-smelling fruit, or referring to the apple tree giving shade for a tent or house. It also uses the term apple of one's eye. The eye's pupil used to be called an apple because of its round shape. So the apple of one's eye was at first a figurative phrase describing the pupil. Because sight was so precious, someone who was called this as an endearment was similarly precious.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no mention in the Bible that the fruit in the Garden of Eden was an apple. In Genesis we read that the forbidden fruit was from "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil", which is generally understood to mean that as God created man in his own image, and so man was pure and didn't know anything about evil. Having eaten from this tree, Adam and Eve then knew the existence of evil, and at this point they showed their fear and shame.
God had given them a choice, just as we have today, to choose between good and evil. True love doesn't force one to love another; there is the choice.
Why this reference to a tree? Well, choices between good and evil can be represented schematically like the fork of a tree branch. When we make a choice to do good or evil, we are developing our soul through the branches of this tree. The route we take determines our destiny; Heaven or Hell. (See also the Forked Cross)
But back to the Pommee Cross. Ancient Turkish coins were called Bezants from the city's earlier Greek name, Byzantium (see also Byzantine Cross). These gold coins had a wide circulation throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. It is supposed that English crusaders returned with such gold coins and the symbol then became part of English heraldry resulting in the name: Bezant Cross (or Bezanty Cross).
The French have been great creators of heraldic designs, and the bezant can be likened to an apple of gold. Apple in French is pomme, hence Pommee Cross with various spellings including Pometty (Fr: Pommettée) and Pomy. Also known as Croix Bourdonnée, using a heraldic term for something which terminates with a roundel, such as the end of a swordhilt.
Other fruity crosses include the Olive Cross, Grape Cross, Hazelnut Cross, Orange Cross, and even a Banana-shaped Cross!
An apple cross for the teacher
We shouldn't confuse the Pommee Cross with the Apple Cross; that's a completely different design, often used by Christian groups in North America for a badge design and awarded to elementary school teachers.
References in the Bible to apple:
Like apples of gold: Prov. 25:11
Sweet fruit and shade: Song. 2:3-5, 7:8, 8:5, Joel 1:12
As the apple of one's eye: Deut. 32:10, Prov. 7:2, Ps. 17:8, Zech. 2:8
Tree of knowledge: Gen. 2:16-17
Man in God's image: 1:27
Shame: 3:10

Tom's of Maine has launched an innovative method for when you don't know what to do with old, broken toys.
Too many toys and too much clutter…it gets overwhelming after awhile!
My preferred method of decluttering is to donate things we don't need, but sometimes there's crap that is not even fit for donation…then the question is what to do with old, broken toys?
So I toss them in the trash. (Sometimes even if they aren't technically "broken," but don't tell my kids that!)
But now there's a better way to deal with this problem.
Recently Tom's of Maine partnered with TerraCycle to launch the #LessWasteChallenge toy recycling program.
Families can visit www.tomsofmaine.com/lesswaste to download a free shipping label that they can use to mail in broken toys for recycling and do their part to reduce the amount of toys that end up in landfills each year.
It is SO easy to do, you just follow these four steps:
- Visit www.tomsofmaine.com/lesswaste
- Enter contact information to receive a free UPS shipping label via email that can be printed at home
- Fill an old box with up to ten pounds of broken toys
- Attach the free shipping label to the box and drop it off at UPS
According to Susan Dewhirst, goodness programs manager at Tom's of Maine, "The act of recycling a toy together can be a way for parents to start a conversation with their kids about what we can all do to take care of the planet for generations."
I have always been a fan of Tom's of Maine. I remember using their toothpaste when I was a kid and now I buy my own kids their Silly Strawberry Flouride-Free Toothpaste.
And I will continue to be a fan now that the company has given me a better method of dealing with all the toy waste that comes out of my house!

Mexico fires soccer coach
The Mexican Football Federation announced Saturday that national soccer team coach Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre was fired.
Assistant coach Luis Fernando Tena will take over on an interim basis as Mexico heads into its World Cup qualifier against the United States on Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio.
De La Torre's ouster came after Mexico's shocking 2-1 loss Friday to Honduras at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. It was Mexico's first loss at home since 2001, and ended a 27-game unbeaten streak in World Cup qualifiers.
Mexico is in fourth place in the six-team tournament used to determine World Cup qualifiers in the CONCACAF region. The top three finishers in the group automatically qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The fourth-place team plays Oceania champion New Zealand in a home-and-home playoff for the final spot.

Where do you stand with things? You know, life stuff. Do you feel like you have it all figured out? Let me let you in on a secret – I don't. It's not just me either. I was having dinner with a friend the other weekend. As we talked, we both shared that we felt like we needed to get our lives together. That doesn't mean that things are bad. For both of us, there are areas in our lives that are popping and awesome! Because of that, sometimes it makes it hard to acknowledge the areas where you want there to be more. While we're both happy with where we are in life right now, there's a nagging feeling that there is more in us to do.
For me, I'm on this journey of re-discovering my purpose. As I peel the layers back, I'm starting to pivot on some of the things that I was really into. Some things I'm just less interested in. Even though it can be a tough pill to swallow, it's ok. Acknowledging that I've outgrown some things is a good thing. It's trying to hold on to those things that will hold me back. Still, that doesn't make it easy. I'm trying to remember that letting go of something only makes room for something else, something better.
I think our family's move is bringing up a lot of stuff for me. I hadn't considered that moving over and hour away from our old home would bring some upheaval for me. That's exactly what's happening though. I have been so focused on what this move means for my kids and making sure they're adjusting that I haven't focused on me. My attention has been on addressing all of their questions, fears and concerns and not even thinking about my own. It took me having dinner with my friend for me to even allow that light bulb to pop on. She reminded me that our relocation doesn't only impact the kids and to give myself the space to process and adjust. While it's a good thing for our family, it's still change.
I'm finding that as my life is changing and I'm getting older, the things I want are changing as well. All of this has me still figuring things out. Still trying to figure out my place in this world and giving more thought to the impact I want to make on this world. Is that a bad thing? I've heard people be down on themselves because their life doesn't look a certain way. I think that what having it together looks like has changed because we have social media giving us snapshots of life.
We forget that those pics/videos are the highlight reel and that real life happens after that post is shared. As an example, I remember sharing a picture of me out having fun with my kids. They were smiling in the picture. Not long after I posted it, they took turns having meltdowns. Both are real life. Still the one I posted of them smiling is what people get to see. And so people walk away thinking life is perfect and that I've got it all figured out.
If you are looking at other people and feeling like you don't measure up – stop. If you're looking at social media and feeling like everyone is doing better than you – don't. It's ok to not have it all figured out yet. It's ok to still be working some stuff out. Life changes all the time and it changes what we are able to to, have time to do and what our focus is. All of that is ok. My advice, let go of the need to have life all figured out. It's like chasing perfection. You'll never get there. Life changes too much to chase a moving target like perfection. Instead, get quiet. Think about what you need to do to feel like you're moving in the right direction. Then do that. Make a small step forward in that direction. Keep making those small steps until you see things changing.
What does that look like for me? I give myself some quiet time to sit down and write. Writing helps me focus. It clears my mind and helps me sort through my feelings and goals. From there, I can come up with a plan of next steps. Still working on figuring things out? What does having it all figured out mean to you?

LOVE this! So inspiring! I have just fallen in love with your blog and signed up! 🙂 xo
Change is always hard on everyone adults and children as well as pets. So as your going through this make sure and take some time for yourself. Just to sit and think about what is happened share both your fears and excitement with others as it will make the move easier. Have a great day.
We're a military family and I totally understand the issues with moving. My concern is always my kids, their schools, and their emotional well being. We have moved so much that it's almost easy now… I have raised smart, resilient, friendly girls and it will all turn out just fine. Great Post!
I don't think anyone ever has it all figured out. We're all constantly evolving and when you just get your head around one thing there will be something else that throws a spanner in the works. Even the people who look like they've got it together will be having days when they haven't got a clue.
You will never have it figured out. Even the people who seem to know what they're doing are most likely FAKING IT until they "make it"!
I loved this post. Life constantly holds lessons for each of us. I believe in finding solutions and figuring things out one step at a time. Besides, when we solve one issue another surfaces. But, that's ok too. Thanks for sharing on Sunday's Best. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
I love that line learning to let go, gives room for the new thing to spring forth. Having it all figured out to me means I am dead! lol cause I am certain I won't get there before then!…. But in the mean time I think for me, most imporant is finding peace in the crazy of life and faith that it will all turn good in the end.
Great post! Appreciate you sharing your experience! I don't have it figured out really either but I know now I'm less likely to torture myself over not having things figured out and more likely to roll with it and see what I learn along the way.

Following the release of his latest album, I Wasn't Built For a Life Like This (released September 25), indie-folkster Caleb Stine recorded an intimate live set for legendary Baltimore radio station WTMD. The stripped down set was recorded at Bunker Studios in front of a small audience which reinforced the personal nature of Stine's new album.
For the Bunker Sessions set, Stine was joined by fellow Baltimore musician Kenny Liner of The Bridge (who recently finished recording their latest Steve Berlin produced album.) The duo worked through songs from both of their extensive catalogs as well as a few choice covers, in addition to highlighting songs from, I Wasn't Built for a Life Like This, about which Urbanite Magazine declares, "Stine's opaque storytelling is poetic, clever, and often melancholy, but, thankfully, he doesn't take himself too seriously…His unique brand of country-meets-city storytelling branches out into a new genre—call it contemporary Americana or urban roots."
For those outside of the WTMD listening area, the entire show can be streamed at wtmd.org tonight at 8pm.
