This is the creed that Jesus lived by and it was formed by two passages from in the Old Testament. The first part of the creed comes from what is known as the Shema and is found in the book of Deuteronomy. The second part comes from the book of Leviticus. When Jesus was asked how we need to prioritize and shape our lives in this world, he turned to these two scriptures and said, we are to love God and love others. Jesus not only found this creed by looking to God's word, he also saw it lived out in the lives of the people around him, specifically his parents. Both Mary and Joseph lived out this creed in their lives and because they did God gave them a new calling.
As we continue to allow this creed to shape our lives and as we give ourselves to loving God completely and loving others fully, God will give us new opportunities to put this love into practice. When we talk about this new calling we aren't talking about a new job or moving to a new location, we are talking about an awakening in our hearts and lives to the deeper purpose God has for us. It is often in loving God and others that we begin to find what it is we were created for and how we can live with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. We see this in Mary and Joseph.
Joseph gave himself to loving God and loving others his entire life. The Bible tells us that Joseph was a righteous man which meant that he knew God's word. Joseph would have learned it as a child and then continued to recite it as an adult. Joseph probably had much of the Torah memorized as many good Jews did, so he certainly knew the verses that make up this creed, but for Joseph loving God meant obeying every rule and regulation found there. Obedience to the law was the focus for those who were said to be righteous which meant that Joseph did his best to follow every one of 600+ laws found in the Old Testament.
Being righteous also meant that Joseph had a certain reputation to keep up. He worked hard to make sure everything he did was above reproach and that he always looked good to God and others. So when Mary told him that she was pregnant and he knew that the baby was not his, it only left Joseph a few options. The law said that women like this should be put to death for their immorality, so to love God through obedience and to keep his reputation intact this is what Joseph should have done. But here is where we see Joseph's love for others come into play. Because he loved Mary, he couldn't bring himself to have her killed so he chose the only other option available to him and that was to divorce her quietly.
While we might think Joseph was being harsh and unkind in divorcing Mary, this was really an act of mercy. He was doing the best he could to balance his love for God and his love for Mary. Joseph was trying to be faithful to God's law and yet love his neighbor as himself, so we see him following this creed and it was because he was that God called him to deeper levels of love and to a new identity. Matthew1:18-25.
No longer was Joseph just being called to obey the law he was being called to love God with all his heart, soul, mind. strength and reputation and he was being called to love Mary enough to take her as his wife. Joseph is being called to love deeper and embrace a new identity. No longer was Joseph just going to be known as a righteous man, he was going to the father of the Messiah but to do all this he was going to have set aside what people think about him. Joseph's love for God and Mary meant that he had to let go of the life he had been striving for and his good name and reputation in order to embrace the life God had for him. It was a new calling.
Every time God calls us to something new we have to be willing to let go of something old. Sometimes we have to let go of our reputation and what others think of us in order to give ourselves more fully to God and others. In our culture, to love God more than anything and to truly love others as ourselves doesn't always make sense and it is not always understood by those around us.
For many people, going to church isn't cool because when they look at the church they only see hypocrites, so if we tell them we go to church it can ruin our reputation. For many people, believing in God and following Jesus isn't seen as being very smart because they see Christians as narrow minded bigots whose thinking is stuck in the last century and believe in fairy tales. While none of this is true, it is what many people think so we have to be willing to let go of what others think if we want to love God more.
I met Jim Kilmartin at the first Impact Youth retreat when we were both asked to share our faith stories. I talked about being a misfit in high school. I was overweight, completely non-athletic and was more of a band geek than anything else. I talked about how coming to faith and following Jesus helped me find a deep sense of who God had created me to be and how much purpose and meaning I had found in life because of Jesus. Then Jim stood to share his story and this is how he started. "When I was in high school, I was the star of the football team and used beat up kids like Andy."
I have to say, I was a little taken back by Jim's comment, but then I heard the rest of his story. Jim had a reputation at the Tyrone HS for being the big man on campus. He was the star quarterback, he was very good looking and he was very popular. But then God started working in Jim's heart and life and invited Jim to turn from loving himself and his reputation to loving God and others. There was a new calling in his life and one of the things Jim had to let go of was his reputation.
A few months after Jim was baptized, he was asked by his church to help start a new youth ministry and travel to churches sharing his faith with other youth. Jim agreed to go, but it meant leaving the football team behind. Jim had to let go of his reputation and all that he had given himself to in order to continue in his faith. He had to set aside what other people thought of him in order to love God completely and love others fully. Jim embrace that calling and has never looked back. He let go of what others thought of him and started loving God with all he had and truly reached out to others.
When we start loving God and loving others it will lead us to a new calling because the Jesus creed shifts our thinking. The more we love God and others the less we think about and focus on ourselves. That is what happened to Joseph. The creed led him to love God more than his reputation and led him to love Mary enough to give up the idea of divorce and take her as his wife. God called Joseph to a new identity, to be the father of the Messiah. With every new calling we have to leave something behind and for many of us it starts with our reputation. We have to stop worrying about what others think of us and step into that new life God has for us.
Mary was also being called to step into a new life and take on a new identity. Like Joseph, Mary was living this creed when God called her. Mary was seeking to love God and others which is why God said she had found "favor" with him. God could see that Mary was doing her best to love in every way, which is why God asked her to be the mother of the Messiah. This child, however, was going to come about through the work of the Holy Spirit and not her soon to be husband and this meant that Mary was also going to have to let go of her reputation, but Mary was also being called to a much greater purpose. Mary was being called to shape the heart and life of God's son. God was asking Mary not just to be the mother of a child but to raise and nurture God's son. This was now her purpose and Mary gave herself to the task completely.
We know Mary gave herself to this new purpose because we can see her heart and life in the heart and life of Jesus. When God called Mary, she praised God in a song. The song not only reveals Mary's heart but we see it lived out in Jesus which means it was Mary who helped shape Jesus.
Luke 1:46-48. So we see Mary's love for God here, she praises God and says, holy is His name. It was this heart of love that shaped Jesus and we know this because when Jesus prayed he said, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Holy is His name. Mary helped shape the heart of Jesus.
Luke 1:49-52. Mary's prayer was that the proud would be humbled and that the humble would be lifted up. It was this heart that shaped the heart of Jesus who taught us that the first shall be last and the last shall be first.
Luke 1:53. Mary asked that the hungry would be filled and it was this vision that moved Jesus to feed the hungry and to say, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.
Luke 1:54-55. Mary talked about mercy being extended to Israel and Jesus was the fullness of God's mercy. At every turn Jesus extended mercy to all the children of God.
From this song we see how the heart and life of Mary helped shaped the heart and life of Jesus. Mary lived into the new calling God had for her and that new call came about because Mary gave herself to loving God with all her heart, soul, mind and strength and she loved her neighbor as herself. Both Mary and Joseph loved God and others and it was living out this creed that led them to a new calling and a new purpose. As we allow the Jesus Creed to shape our hearts and lives there will be moments when God will call us to something new. This isn't a new job. Joseph's job as a carpenter didn't change and Mary's job as a mother didn't change, but their purpose in life was redefined. The Jesus creed can change our purpose in life. It might not change our job but the opportunities God gives us to love and serve can fundamentally change our identity.
Every one of us has been called to ministry in some way. Loving God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength will lead us into new ways of serving God in and through the life of the church. Loving God will mean that some of us will be called to lead our children and youth in faith. Loving God will call us to open our homes to a small group or visit those who are sick and shut in. Loving God will mean giving ourselves to the worship life of the church and helping greet people and open doors and park cars or sing in the choir or serve in the nursery. Loving God completely will mean for each of us a call to turn that love into action in some way among the people of God and in the life of the church
And if we make the creed of our lives a commitment to loving our neighbor as ourselves then in time God will show what this love for others looks like. We will talk more about this next week, but let me tell you right now, God will call us to new ways of giving and serving that will push and challenge us. We will be moved to do things we never thought we would do.
How is God calling you to go deeper in your love for him and others and how can you love and serve God through the life of the church? Every week I am blessed to be able to see so many people serve God and others through the church and I see the difference it makes. I hear the testimonies of how your commitment and faith inspires and helps and heals people and I hear from so many volunteers what joy they find in serving. I have seen so many people find their purpose and the new calling God has for their lives because they were willing to love God more and step out to serve. I would invite you to keep saying and praying the Jesus creed and simply see where it takes you. When you sense God calling you to something new or when you hear God speak, like Mary and Joseph, say yes and move and allow God to use you in new ways.
As we commit ourselves to loving God and others the opportunities will be there. We don't have to go looking for them we just have to be willing to step out in faith. Maybe we need to let go of our reputation and what people will think about us. Maybe we need to let go of our fear and stop thinking that we might not be good enough or know enough to love and serve God. Mary and Joseph had step into the great unknown and say, here I am Lord. Use me. Are we willing to say that? Are we willing to step out in love and simply give ourselves to loving God and others in new ways?
If you are committing yourself to this creed, if you are saying it and praying it and giving yourself to it – God will call you to new ways of living and loving. Please step out in faith to love God with all your heart and soul and minds strength and please step out to love your neighbor as yourself and just watch what God will do in you and through you. God will use us for his purpose. God will use us to bring salvation and life and light into the darkness of this world. Please, step into the new calling the Jesus Creed will bring to your life.

I'm currently on a course, learning about the use of blogging in education. We're currently being told about podcasting. I also discovered that the guy, Steve Thompson, leading the course works alongside my thesis supervisor from my MSc course, who has his own blog, notes in the margin.
Update: We're using B2Enterprise blogging tool, which I think has similar 'DNA' to Wordpress, which is what powers this blog.
Update 2: B2Enterprise has some issues with cookies, when used by loadsa people on a closed network like this; it's a local authority network, so it's very locked down.
Update 3: 2000 Feet - "This haiku collection is inspired by particular places and events along the course of the three main rivers in County Durham – the Tees, the Wear and the Derwent. Each of these has its source high up in the North Pennines, approximately 2000 feet above sea level."
Update 4: We're playing with a media uploader at the moment, to allow uploading and posting or images, sound, video, animations, etc. That's also not working too well in this ICT room...
Update 5: We're now playing with an online quiz called Community Challenge, which allows people to compete against other quiz teams online. Apparently Tony Blair took part in an online pub quiz using this and his team lost. Apparently, he was crap.
Update 6: We came joint first in the quiz. We rock.

Fifty-five network news reporters, including anchormen Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings, and all five correspondents on CBS "60 Minutes," protested Monday what they said are network proposals to make them "technicians" as well as reporters.
To give the three major networks the right to assign them such additional roles as cameramen, editors and satellite-transmission operators would seriously detract them from their work as reporters and put "the integrity of television news broadcasts" in jeopardy, they said in a signed statement.
Their statement was released by their union, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, as it resumed new contract talks Monday in New York with network representatives. The talks, which began late last year, broke off July 21 after a failure to resolve the issues cited by the correspondents.
At press time, there was no immediate comment from the networks on the two-page protest signed by ABC's Jennings, NBC's Brokaw, and "60 Minutes" correspondents Mike Wallace, Harry Reasoner, Diane Sawyer, Morley Safer and Ed Bradley, and other on-air reporters.

It is not about watches but a knitted gauge swatch to ensure, that your gauge is correct for a project that needs to follow a certain pattern. A lot of knitters, that I have met, never make swatches, but when experienced knitters swear to them - and designers that are thinking up new patterns make use of them a lot, I have decided, that it might just be a very good idea to do swatches. OK I admit - did not do it with the scarf pattern, but mabve.... just maybe it would not have cause me fear/headache to change to a new skein halfway.
I was working on a UFO (UnFinished Object) when I eyed a skein of yarn that might be perfect for a similar project, but the stitch gauge for 10x10 cm are completely different albeit it feels like they have the same thickness:
Black yarn (the UFO):
HOSUBAND from ISTEX - 80% wool 20% nylon
16 stitches - 24 rows on needles size 4
Red/greyish yarn: TOTEM from KAFIA - 100 % acrylic
12 stitches - 16 rows on needles size 6
The pattern are designed for the HOSUBAND yarn, so what if I used the same number of stitches and needle size for the TOTEM yarn? And if I was to use the suggested needle size for TOTEM I would have to calculate some changes to the pattern. I know that you should go up or down a needle size if your knitting gauge is more tight/loose as the pattern's required gauge - but these are two different types of yarn?
It worked - above swatch met the required knitting gauge. Now I just need to finish the UFO before I start the red version.

Music Blogging for dummies
Doe Paoro - Slow to Love
Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and if like me you chose to ignore the day and listen to My Bloody Valentine on repeat good on you! What you may want to consider instead is purchasing Doe Paoro's debut album Slow To Love, which is released on the same day. I like the record company's thinking there.
You may presume that being released on Valentine's Day means it's a collection of love songs, well there is a romantic notion to them but with a bit of grit and truth bolstering up the track listing. Her fascinating vocal is inspired by her study of Lhamo. Lhamo is Tibetan Opera. It may sound like an odd or unusual concept but it makes her music totally mesmerizing. Her oddness can be seen in the video for standout track Born Whole, not odd in a Gaga way but odd in a Kate Bush way, slightly eccentric. Blindfolded she weaves her way through the wilderness following the guide of a rope. But what this slow paced, relatively static video does is focus your attention on the content of the song.
Her voice has several qualities comparable to that of PJ Harvey, the Tibetan vibe gives her height to vocal reach which comes across as slightly creepy. While her American accent could easily break into an M.I.A style ghetto tone but instead she reigns it in to intensify the 'ghost soul' genre she is devoted to.
Introducing Jodie Marie
You'll all be familiar with the expression 'right time, right place' well Jodie Marie is the proof in the pudding. If the pudding was a saying and the saying was the one I've just mentioned.
Anyway, on with the story. Jodie is from Narbeth in Pembrokeshire and being from such a small place all the locals knew of the sixteen year old with the gorgeous, caramel smooth voice. Most likely if she'd decided to up sticks and head onto the nation's favourite singing contest (a la Janet Devlin) the whole of Narbeth would have rallied round, hosted bake sales at the local church. Luckily for Jodie she didn't need to enter a competition. Instead the father of a record label owner, was in town staying in a local B&B. That record label turned out to be Transgressive, an Indie label with signings from bands such as Two Door Cinema Club and Foals.
When the B&B owner overheard that the chap was connected to the music industry she mentioned that she had a plumber in and the plumber's daughter had a lovely voice. Well I guess you know the rest of the story and the yellow brick road that started to unfurl before Jodie Marie's eyes and here we are with a growing discography.
I Got You is her latest release and although it may conjure up images of Sonny and Cher fear not, the only cover this lady saw fit to triumph was Bob Dylan's Forever Young. I Got You is beautifully soulful and her vocal sounds like that of a mature 30 something rather than a twenty year old. There are elements of soul, jazz, pop and indie in her offering which emphasises the strong influences her generation have grown up on. It's content is simple and it's a modern day love song, similar to something Adele would have written in her early days. Easy to relate to and even easier to sing. Just totally blissful.
I Got You is available to download from iTunes now.
The Arcadian Kicks - You Play the Girl
A Tribe Called Quest once asked "Can I kick it?" and the answer was a resounding yes. This next band is all about kicking it, from their name, to their ethereally energetic sound. But don't get confused, they're about as hip hop as a pair of clogs.
The Arcadian Kicks are a young band from the outskirts of Birmingham, who are co-managed by none other than Jon Brookes of The Charlatans – not a bad fan to have. The mixed five-some introduce an array of sounds, influences and hit on bands such as Fleetwood Mac, The Kills and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I know, a total mix – which shows that the kids that met and formed at school definitely did their homework. From Over & Over which is a softer more mellow track to their new single You Play The Girl which is fiery, fierce and down right ferocious. The Blondie-esque tune is no doubt a dance floor filler, with it's guitar ladened, with a vixen vocal. It's a total Indie love fest.
You Play The Girl is vivacious, demanding and slightly seedy. Which is available as a free download on the band's Facebook. That's the kind of behaviour that you would normally need to pay to see.
Saint Saviour - Suukei EP Review
The hugely gifted and totally underestimated lady who has been described previously as having "incredible precision" in her vocal talents is set to release her new EP Suukei tomorrow (3rd October).
Saint Saviour is the wondrous silky smooth, soul warming, heart tickling vocal of Becky Jones. The lady behind SS was formally linked to (now laid to rest) electro outfit the RGBs and most recently held harmonies with Groove Armada (post 'Shaking That Ass). Lending her pitch perfect presence to their grammy-nominated 2011 album Black Light.
Now out on her own, she's created her second EP Suukei which boasts four glimmeringly gorgeous tracks, each so fantastically unique in their content. Crafted in a golden thread, so tightly spun further enforcing her ability to bring precision in spades. Her journey from Anatomy EP has clearly been a vast one of brilliance. She seems some what more refined. A bit like a fine wine.
Red Sun dazzles as the opener. With a heavily middle eastern inspired sound to it, it eases you in quite peacefully. Until we're awoken by the bright beaming vocal. This track is worlds apart from previous works including Women Scorned.
Stand out track Here In Me is a twisty turny type song, mellow and delightful. With a masterpiece of a video to boot. Her wistful voice whispers right into the tiniest, darkest part of your soul, sending tingles up and down the spine. Just splendid.
Some Things Change is hauntingly ethereal, and thought provoking. On the first listen, I found myself contemplating and wondering into my hear and now, my past and future still yet to come. Now that's a real skill to encompass so effortlessly into a piece of music.
Covers are a challenge, some fall at the first hurdle. When I hear the Live Lounge on Radio 1 I often cringe and squirm at the sound of those limping to the finish line. We all know how amazingly well Ellie Goulding covered Your Song and did wonders for John Lewis and their romantic ad campaign. And we all know Skinny Love for Birdy's cover, although Bon Iver's original is still stands as one of my all time favourites. SS has put her pitch perfect and creative spin on Kate Bush's Army Dreamers. Due to my own ignorance I wasn't aware of this track. Becky has provided a non-intrusive, masterful rendition of a song that could and possibly should be hers.
MS MR - Ash Tree Lane
I've found Florence Welch with an American twang. It's true I've found a new Flo, residing in New York city. I would like to overwhelm you with information on MS MR but unfortunately little in known about this coupling. Possibly because they are still fairly young fry in this ocean we call the music industry. Or, the business-savvy side of me screams "PR stunt".
Either way they've proven that a need for visual identity stems from the wealth of the greedy and it's not altogether necessary when you have vocals as delightfully delicious as the Ms in this partnership. In the grandiose Ash Tree Lane we are struck almost instantly by female, yet not overly feminine vocal. Like a witches cauldron, there is something persistently bubbling under the surface. The drop comes with frantic piano keys built up with incredible intensity, this teamed with the elongated ooing gives us something almost cinematic.
Of course the video more than emphasises this. We are greeted with old cinema reels, Alice wondering into that mysterious land, an unknown which is indicative of the American Dream, highlighted through other film clips. A video with poignancy. An artist trying to do much more than talk about bringing swagger back. For this reason alone I'm in.
Ghost Eye - Phantom Mountain
The ultimate key to an artist's initial success, I feel is mystique. A guise which is perfectly planted so that intrigue is built and engulfs them like a veil when eventually it comes to a thirst quenching head. When second, third and (hopefully) more releases come do we then turn our backs because the anticipation is no more?
This next band are all about the mystery with Myspace profile pictures of characterless female body parts and videos with moody enigmatic types giving us all but a glimpse of possible band members. They are all either hideously unattractive or trying to say "open your ears and go shut you eyes".
Ghost Eyes deliver the type of warm, middle eastern hip hop that requires a certain amount of eye closure, stimulating concentration but not enough to stop you from moving, typing, talking or what- have-you. In parts they have a Massive Attack element to their style with the dark cultural fusion of hip hop beats, haunting Asian chimes and a sitar guitar thrown in for good measure. Mix that all together with some kids chanting or possibly singing and you get debut single Phantom Mountain. With vocals similar to that of Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow, there's a total range of elements to this track which need a great deal of attention from the ears. In form Ghost Eyes frolic in a rare and precise detail which is often hard to emulate

A reader who had recently downloaded my book "Tips ON Prayer" asked me "How LONG do you spend on your prayer routine every morning?" At the heart of the question was a question of balancing time in prayer with the demands of delay life.
So how long do I spend in the morning in prayer?
My 7 step devotional practice can be done in 15 or 20 minutes and I would estimate this is my baseline minimum. The bulk of that time is spent in prayer, scripture reading, and journaling. It's not unusual for me to spend 30 minutes or more; particularly, if I get caught up in journaling. So, the norm for me can be anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes.
Periodically, I adopt longer disciplines. For example, once I prayed for an hour a day for 40 days, but that isn't my norm, and even that was often times broken into 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I have days or seasons where I get off track and fail to have morning time. I find on those days that scattered prayers on my pillow as I fall asleep aren't a very good substitute. I have to reinitiate myself to the discipline. But what I have written above is my norm the vast majority of the time.
What other time do I spend in prayer?
These devotional practices, which I refer to as my "sacred routine", do not include the many odds and ends of prayers I pray during the day at meals, meetings, or when I pause and lift up a short prayer for someone or something.
Last but not least, once a week, I pray with three Godly men via phone. We share what's going on in our lives and prayer concerns. Then we pray. The call takes about an hour or more. Not all of that is spent in prayer. This weekly devotional practice has broadened and deepened my prayer life. Also, the relationship have become a great source of instruction, encouragement and accountability.
Some Guidelines Regarding Time and Prayer.
1) Prayer is as much about quality of time as quantity. What I call "checklist praying" is always a danger, particularly when you are time conscious. What I mean by "checklist praying" is getting in a mode where you become legalistic about getting in your 15 or 20 minutes and checking it off your list as done for the day. This is particularly easy to fall into if you use a particular prayer method for a long period of time. The method becomes routine and you start going through the motions.
2) Put prayer in a priority perspective. Imagine that you got a call and a famous celebrity that you adore could meet with you every morning for this next week. I doubt your response would be, "How much time is this going to take?" or "Will I have to get up a few minutes early?" Remember that time with God isn't something you "have" to do. It is a "privilege" we get to do if we will make time for it.
3) Prayer redeem's itself. Lastly, truth be told, I find that when I spend a good solid thirty minutes in quality morning prayer, my day and my life go far better and time is not near the issue I would like to think it is. Don't be intimidated by that number, 30. Even just a few minutes of connecting with God can make a huge difference. If you're not currently praying at the front end of the day, even five or ten minutes can be hugely beneficial.
The bottom line is that the rewards of even a modest morning commitment to prayer far exceed the burden or trouble it may appear to be. If you are concerned you are too busy to pray, then you are too busy. Consider one simple activity you could give up and replace with prayer.

Being a member of the media covering the 66th Senior PGA Championship at Laurel Valley Golf Club was an enjoyable experience for me. I not only was able to see many of the legends of golf in action up close and personal, but I also had the opportunity to communicate with other media personalities and interesting golf fans. The Rev. Harry Sherry, retired Methodist minister, had the pleasant experience of spending some time with golf legend Gary Player, which I reported in an earlier column. Rev. Sherry also said he had the pleasure of meeting Mike Reid, the winner of this year's Senior PGA Championship. Sherry was able to get an autograph from Reid, who Sherry described as a very nice guy.
I had the good fortune to catch a ride on a golf cart driven by Thomas Bigley of Fox Chapel, who is a member of the senior PGA championship committee. His official duties included serving as vice chairman of administration, which placed him in charge of the following committees: admission, finance, volunteer services, media and hospitality.

HONG KONG--Chinese property developer Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. has defaulted on a loan from HSBC Holdings PLC and warned it may struggle to pay off other debt, adding to the company's woes after a string of executive resignations.
Late Thursday, the Hong Kong-listed company said it hadn't repaid a US$52 million loan to HSBC after the U.K. bank asked for the cash back following the resignation late last month of Kaisa's chairman, Kwok Ying Shing. The loan has a clause that provides for full prepayment on the chairman's resignation.
Efforts to seek comment from Kaisa were unsuccessful. HSBC declined to comment on the matter.
China's real-estate firms borrowed heavily from overseas lenders in recent years to expand at home, but are now suffering as China's property market cools and home prices fall.
Kaisa's offshore bond prices tumbled on Friday, pushing up yields to over 50%. The company's shares have been suspended since December.
Analysts say that Kaisa has sufficient cash to make the HSBC repayment but will likely need to renegotiate terms with its lenders. As of June 30 last year, Kaisa had about six billion yuan (US$966.9 million) in short-term debt and 9.38 billion yuan in unrestricted cash Standard & Poor's said in a statement last week.
"The key thing is whether the company is able to negotiate a waiver with HSBC," said Yin Chin Cheong, Chinese properties analyst at CreditSights in Singapore.
Worries about the company's offshore debt have been growing with Moody's Investors Service recently downgrading the property developer's credit rating and Standard & Poor's also warning on the company's outlook last month.
Kaisa warned in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Thursday that more of its debt could be affected by the default, which may have a "material adverse impact" on the company's finances. After Mr. Kwok resigned as chairman, Kaisa said it would sell a vacant plot of land in Shanghai to rival China Vanke Co. to raise US$194 million.
The circumstances around Mr. Kwok's departure are unclear, but a number of senior officials at the company based in the southern China boomtown of Shenzhen departed in December, including its chief financial officer, vice chairman and the chairman's brother, Kwok Ying Chi. The company hasn't explained why they left.
The Kwok family owns a 49.3% stake in the midtier developer, which has a market value of eight billion Hong Kong dollars (US$1.03 billion). The family isn't related to the owners of Hong Kong property giant Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd.
Kaisa listed shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2009 by raising US$445 million from investors. It was backed by U.S. private-equity firm Carlyle Group L.P's Asia growth fund, which had invested ahead of the public listing. Carlyle has since exited its investment in Kaisa.
Shares in the property developer plunged in December after local authorities in Shenzhen blocked it from selling units in three residential projects. The reasons for the government's action aren't known.
"With negative headlines of Chinese property companies, like Kaisa this time, investors are getting more cautious towards the entire sector. Some bond investors have tried to reduce exposure in China's property sector," Ms. Cheong said.
Kaisa isn't the first property develop to have unsettled Western lenders. In late 2014 Agile Property Holdings Ltd. said its chairman had been detained, for unspecified reasons, as the developer scrambled to raise funds in an effort to meet a US$475 million debt payment that was due in December. It later agreed an extension from HSBC and its unit Hang Seng Bank Ltd., and Standard Chartered PLC. The company's bonds fell sharply on the news but have since recovered some ground as the chairman resurfaced.

One wild and crazy day last week
Board members Myrna and Ken Eshleman were hosting John this past week. While hosting him they explored Messiah College, started to meet immunization requirements for school, discovered many kind helpers and opened their hearts and lives. Some fun parts are noted here from Myrna.
We just returned from a very interesting and pleasant day in Lancaster County. We went on a tour of the Amish farm country with two stops—one where we could buy things like whoopee pies and see an interesting variety of farm animals and equipment, and another one that had quilts and other Amish-made items. I bought a throw pillow for Ken's chair in our living room. John and Ken each got a soft pretzel to munch on.
Then we went on a tour of an Amish farmhouse and surrounding buildings. We learned a lot about Amish and Mennonite history and culture. We saw an Amish cemetery and a one-room schoolhouse. Our tour guide was a man from Pakistan! (Go figure!). He said he speaks five languages and did quite a good job of explaining Amish and Mennonite history and culture, with one exception—he said that the Mennonites started with a leader named, "Simon Minno" (Fact check: Menno Simons).
We ate our second meal of the day at the Cracker Barrel. It would have been nice to end the visit with a meal at the Amish-Mennonite restaurant, 'Good and Plenty' in Lancaster, but we didn't feel like we had enough time because I had invited friends Kalvin and Nancy to meet us at the DQ for ice cream at 7:00 p.m. this evening. We are working at helping John to fill his sweet tooth. He promised his dad that he would get a banana split while he is here in America, so maybe he can fulfill that promise this evening.
We met Kalvin and Nancy at 7:00 and John savored his banana split. He had no problem ingesting all of it! Afterwards Kalvin and Nancy led us into the countryside to see a place where a man has done beautiful sculpting of a couple of tree trunks with a chainsaw. One trunk had several bears climbing on it and the other one had several raccoons around it. AMAZING!
Then we followed them to the building where they live at Messiah Village and Kalvin showed us his display of a model train with tracks that wander around through a village with many houses with lights in them and people dancing inside and a water wheel and trees and bridges, with scenic mountains in the background and a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. John pushed a button and the whole display came alive with lights and movement. Kalvin is truly an artist.
They invited us up to their apartment on the third floor and showed us many things that they have collected from their travels in Europe. I was happy for John to be able to see Messiah Village where many seniors live—independently, in assisted living and in nursing care. We drove around the Village and described the various living opportunities. As we were driving back home John wondered aloud, "I wonder how long it would take for our country to develop such extensive highways and structures for our people?
Is there something simply American or simply special that you can help John see and experience? Please comment with your offer. Thanks

TheToshiba PA3817U-1BRS Batterysurprises out of the box. In the right direction also. We stopped by the progress made in terms of design and finish. This is not the first time that we note about appliances giant global computer, but it is truer than ever. Acer wants to erase its image builder input range and S7 is the embodiment of this desire.
Between the Macbook Air and otherToshiba Satellite U405 SeriesUltrabooks, we can say that we had more than our fair share of ultra-portable in recent months. S7 still managed to surprise with its design to say the least. Far rather masculine dark colors that adorn most of the production unit impresses with its blend dress white glass and aluminum. It is very pretty and has joined the editorial staff but it is possible that this bias does not appeal to everyone. At the same time, we must dare to stand out and it succeeded. We may have some doubts about the usefulness of this glass plate on the back of the screen that represents a potential weak point. From this point of view, all aluminum finish of the 11.6-inchDell Latitude E5400 Batteryvariant is preferable.
Anyway, the design is successful frankly, the S7 is extremely fine and displays the original lines. The finish is generally very high quality even if you notice a few things that deserved a little more attention. We would like to see for example the connection directly cut from aluminum rather than being surrounded by plastic. All is not perfect, but it is the best computer in the history of Acer and certainly one of the prettiest in recent years, all brands. A great performance when you think about what was on the PC market a few years ago.
With a computerDell Inspiron 1210 Batteryso thin you can not help but fear that the keyboard appears uncomfortable. If the chicklet keyboard S7 is large and well arranged, it is indeed not the most comfortable car keys lack depth and pressure resistance is minimal. This is probably due to the available space and you can not have everything. This does not prevent you from typing the same long but we saw more enjoyable, even on an ultraportable. Mention may be made or the Lenovo Yoga UX32VD Asus.
The touchpad is it efficient, accurate without being huge. It should also keep in mind that requires touchscreen, it is used much less often than the previous line of computers. Always within ergonomics, we discuss a small defect at the edges of the device. These are indeed very sharp. You will not cut you but they prove uncomfortable when you let sit on his wrists.
Like the Lenovo Yoga, theDell Precision M6400is Ultrabook "classic" which was added a touchscreen. Both products nevertheless express very different philosophies. The S7 uses a hinge limited to 180 ┬░ opening where Yoga operates a complete reversal of the slab. Here it is possible to lower the screen on the table (for a example) but not to reverse completely. No change in use, but tablet so nice all the same because the screen is not top off fingers.
However, we gain 250 grams compared to Yoga. As we noted at the sight of the machine at IFA, the hinge also offers a very high resistance needed to use touch.
The slab itself is very satisfactory.Dell Studio 1535 BatteryUsingIPS technology and Full HD resolution, the screen offers a beautiful image. Brightness and contrast are at the rendezvous, while the colors are more accurate and slightly saturated. This is not the most accurate but it is more flattering to the eye. The only drawback is the presence of reflections induced by capacitive overlay which is inevitable. Note that the glass surface is a Gorilla Glass 2 which should ensure a very high resistance to shocks. The sound is also a pleasant surprise. Despite the fine,Dell Precision M2400 Batteryhas managed to offer a generous volume and fairly balanced.
The S7 is available in several versions, ranging from the Core i5 and Core i7 with 128 or 256 GB SSD. We appreciate the choices, the unique configuration is too often the norm. Our test model was equipped with "that" Intel Core i5 performance but were more than satisfactory with Windows 8 decidedly low resource utilization. All tasks are possible in good conditions and with the SSD as a couple, you do not wait long recording or opening program. Suffice to say that for the interface and HTML applications, it is really perfect. For heavy video editing, you can always choose the Core i7 butToshiba PA3634U-1BAS Batteryit must have utility.
With so little room for the battery, the battery life is not exceptional but remains in the standard of Ultrabook. Allow about 4:45 on a single charge and video which should take more than 5hoursin office. The S7 is unfortunately quite noisy, which is even more annoying than the fan runs almost constantly. A probable consequence of the smoothness again. However, the heat dissipation is very good, no place is too hot chassis.
Acer S7: the most attractive Ultrabook
The Acer ultrabook S7 is undoubtedly one of the most impressive notebook of this generation, if not all the time, and it is probably no coincidence that Microsoft has put forward in its promotion of Windows 8 . Acer has really done a great job on this design model. All is not perfect yet but getting close. Concerning the use touchscreen Windows 8, the S7 is clearly not the most innovative. However, theDell Studio 1555 Batteryexperience is very pleasant and we naturally use touch as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Acer uses a great slab and the hinge is designed to withstand the slides using touch. However, do not be fooled, the S7 is a notebook, a real one. However, we can not help but imagine the S7 has a solution transformation tablet hybrid ultimate form. If Acer could hear us ...
Remains the thorny issue of price. Acer if we had used previously to products in reasonable price, this is not really the case here. S7 Ultrabook is a decidedly upscale, and it pays cash, € 1,300 for the version "basic" in Core i5 and 128GB SSD This is not unreasonable given the quality of this notebookDell Studio 1558 Batterybut we will think twice. Remains as the S7 is currently no real direct competitor, only tactile versions of Asus Zenbooks or Samsung Series 9 could compete but nothing on the horizon at the moment.

China today urged the EU to abide by World Trade Organization rules and avoid abusing trade remedy measures, state news agency Xinhua reported.
The EU has described China's economy as distorted in a recent report.
"The relevant report makes irresponsible remarks on China's economy and take unfair measures to China through creating various pretexts, but the report does not mention the EU's own actions in violation of WTO rules," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.
"It is hypocritical to have double standards," she said. "Using zero-sum game mentality to deal with reciprocal cooperation will injure others and harm [the EU] itself."
Hua said in recent years, China's economic development has made historic achievements, providing important material conditions for development and reform in other fields, and making important contribution to the stability and growth of the world economy.
"The socialist economy with Chinese characteristics has a bright future."

I wasn't sure if I wanted to switch up my kit style, but after seeing the Kraft collection, I was IN LOVE. I really like the simplicity of Seafoam, but after 10 weeks, I'm a little bored with it. Kraft is so Kid friendly, and colorful. I love it! (and I am obsessed with PL Creative Team member Jen's style...totally copying her!!!)

Weather turns, castle tours and down Val di Gei & Val Grande inferiore
The border between Italy and Switzerland has no checkpoint, guard gate or manned security. It is however teaming with activity as tourists mill about taking in the beauty of the alpine landscape at Splügen Pass. After stopping to take in the scenery ourselves we cross into Switzerland and make our way down a dozen or so switchbacks. That afternoon we arrive at our campsite along the banks of the Maggia River, one of the major valleys that makes up the geography of the canton (county) of Ticino. The technical slots we will descend over the course of the next week are side canyons of the Maggia and the other major valleys of the area. For the foreseeable future any kind of technical descent will have to be put on hold as the weather forecast calls for a major low pressure system settling over much of Europe. As the clouds move in, Laura and I go for a walk at dusk along the Maggia River, passing by the largest and most elaborate cairn structures I have ever witnessed.
The following day as the intensity of the rain increases we explore the ancient city of Bellinzona, the capital of Ticino and it's three castles. The city has been considered a key strategic point connecting Italy with the rest of the continent to the north because of its close proximity to several alpine passes. While the city has been occupied since the early Neolithic Age, possibly up to 7000 years ago, Bellinzona was first fortified in the first century BC on a rocky outcropping in the middle of the city. One of the three castles, Castlegrande, sits at this very site. The other two castles, Montebello and Sasso Corbaro, date back to the 1300s and 1400s, respectively. All three castles were renovated and expanded throughout the middle ages. Much of the construction of the castles that stand today were built by the Dukes of Milan in the 15th century who were trying to defend attacks from the Swiss and the French. In 1499, Louis XII of France captured Bellinzona. Several months later, an armed revolt of local citizens drove the French troops out of the city and seeking protection from the French joined the Swiss Confederation. Bellinzona and the surrounding countryside would remain part of Switzerland through today, but its people would continue to speak Italian and their food, identity and culture would be heavily influenced from their Italian history.
We explore the courtyards, towers and hallways of the castles under an increasingly steady rain. From atop a tower of the Sasso Corbaro, the geographic highest of the three castles we are treated to magnificent vistas of Bellinzona and the surrounding countryside as low lying clouds move in and out of the valley. From atop this vantage point we can see how integrated the castles and other medieval fortified structures are into downtown Bellinzona. Despite this amazing historic and cultural tour I would be lying if I did not admit that the inclement weather was getting me down.
Val di Gei inferiore, V4A4III
Maggia Valley, Ticino, Switzerland
Awake at 3am from the sounds of pitter patter on our tent. It is not a happy noise to hear for a trio of canyoneers who have come a long way. I awake cranky from inside my damp sleeping bag. I peer out my tent and though the weather looks far from bright and sunny, it is vastly improved, with even a few patches of blue sky. We decide to check the water flows of the nearby technical descent of Val di Gei inferiore. In our possession we have the guidebook, "Eldorado Ticino" by Luca and Anna Nizzola, a guide to the best technical descents of Ticino written in English. One of the most helpful aspects of the guidebook are photographs that serve as a checkpoint for what are safe conditions based on the amount of water flow. Too much water flow in these canyons can range from extremely challenging to potentially deadly. These side by side photos of a point at the bottom of the canyon can be used to compare to the current conditions. This helps determine if the water flows are within what an individual would consider acceptable for a safe descent. From a stone bridge spanning the bottom of the canyon we use the photographs and though the flow seem a bit on the high side we decide to go for it.
Passing by a religious shrine in the middle of the forest during the approach the sun pokes through the clouds. We leave the main trail and carefully make our way into the canyon bottom. Armed with the knowledge we learned from Pascal we are ready. We immediately encounter a 40- foot toboggan. Further down canyon the rappels begin. Rappels in high water flow can be extremely challenging and potentially dangerous if not using proper techniques. The bottom of these drops often have dangerous hydraulics that could potentially suck in an unsuspecting individual. It is imperative that the rope is not set long on a rappel. This allows a canyoneer to rappel right off the end of the rope. If the rope is long the canyoneer is forced to tread water to remove the excess rope from one's descending device and risk getting sucked into the hydraulic. A system of lowering the first rappeler on a contingency anchor is used to ensure that the rope is set to the proper length. In the deafening water, whistles signals are used for communication during this process. A 150- foot rappel in Val di Gei tests all of these skills as Eric lowers me 25- feet while I am pummeled by falling water. Many obstacles but all too quickly we reach the stone bridge we walked across earlier and the canyon ends. Clad in our wetsuits and with big smiles on our faces we walk through the quaint town of Gordevio to get back to our vehicle.
Val Grande inferiore, V3A4III
Maggia Valley, Ticino, Switzerland
With plenty of light still in the day and the weather still clear we go for a descent of neighboring Val Grande inferiore. During the approach we pass by a farmer and his teenage daughter repairing a fence on a hillside. They speak no English. We play charades and they are able to communicate with us the remainder of the route to the canyon bottom via a fixed line down a steep slope. Val Grande is even more beautiful than the previous descent, including a triple streamed waterfall rappel, narrow striated walls, lush vegetation and a 100- foot rappel down a narrow chute under an old stone bridge, as a finale.
To celebrate our first descents of Switzerland we have an amazing dinner at a nearby Grotto. Grottoes are simple taverns that serve regional food often on a fixed menu. In other words everyone eats the same thing and it is delicious. Tonight it is aged cheese, green salad, barbecue spare ribs with an Italian seasoning and German Potato Salad. We drink the local Merlot, Ticino's specialty, from the small vineyards that you can see everywhere: along hillsides, in the courtyards of the castles, in residential yards, alongside churches, in small pockets in downtown Bellinzona, even at our campground. This was also the night we discovered Nocino, a regional liqueur made of unripened walnuts. The after dinner drink would become a fixture for the remainder of our trip. We returned to our campsite full and feeling pretty good.

On Dec. 24, authorities reported that officials charged a former California physician in connection with a scheme involving prescriptions drugs and Medicare fraud. Authorities stated that the man faces charges of fraud and drug distribution.
Proposition 47 - What Does It Mean?
The passage of California's Proposition 47 this last November has brought both changes to the way charges are filed by the District Attorney's Office as well as changes to the criminal records of those already convicted of a whole host of crimes. Among other things, Proposition 47 has reclassified as misdemeanors offenses that were once felonies. These felonies include, but are not limited to, simple narcotic possession and certain thefts.
Teenager arrested on suspicion of multiple burglaries
Law enforcement officers with the San Jose Police Department announced they have arrested a 19-year-old San Jose man for his suspected involvement in as many as 20 residential burglaries in the area. San Jose police arrested him on Dec. 10.

Rumors are running rampant today that Senator Thad Cochran is a very ill man and most likely will not serve out his term. He may not even finish the calendar year.
From Erick Erickson at The Resurgent:
The big rumor in Mississippi is that Senator Thad Cochran will step down due to this health. According to the buzz in Mississippi, Mitch McConnell had Cochran flown to Washington on a government plane for votes. Governor Bryant is having conversations about appointing Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves to the position.
Sources who have knowledge of the situation tell me the Republicans want this issue resolved quickly so that it does not hang over Senator Wicker's head as he potentially faces a primary challenge.
If a vacancy does occur, there is a good possibility that Governor Bryant could appoint Senator Chris McDaniel to the seat instead of Tate Reeves. So it is imperative that McDaniel supporters across Mississippi contact Phil Bryant's office and urge him to appoint Chris McDaniel, who should rightfully hold the seat.
So MCD is asking two things of you today:
Contact Governor Phil Bryant's Office: (601) 359-3150

If we believed companies like Sony and Microsoft, in a perfect world everything will be available online and the Xbox One/Playstation 4 will serve it all to us. In reality though, if you make a console the slave to the Internet, it will tend to become a useless brick without it.
This is exactly what we've seen with recent Xbox Live outages. While the Xbox One console themselves were able to connect to the Internet, because the Xbox Live services were down suddenly all the apps and online functionality was taken down with it. Unless you wanted to play offline games, suddenly the Xbox One was nothing but a black box.
When this was pointed out to Phil Spencer on Twitter, he had this to say:
@tomwarren I think you are right. The dependencies between the services needs to be minimized.
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) October 1, 2015
While his words are admirable, the fact is Microsoft have created this problem all for themselves. Through the blocking of services behind the Xbox Live service, and even behind Xbox Live Gold service it creates a system dependant on the Internet Live Service. When the service goes down, the fact that we lose services such as Netflix shows the weakness of the Xbox Live model.
So will Xbox change their policies and allow apps to gain access to the Internet without the Xbox Live service? From what Spencer says, they may look into it. I'm sure they will find that it is not an easy task for them to undertake though, especially if they still want to lock certain apps behind their Xbox Live paywall system (Gold Account). If the Live system is down, how do they check the user has the right to use the app?
What are your thoughts on Phil Spencer's comments? While he makes sense, can they really bring about this kind of change in the system? Let us know below.

We have been trying to work out what would be the best way of swapping for our members to give them the most choice and we have come up with a "banking" scheme.
We aim to introduce a 'Banking' System where all members 'bank' a week (min 1 week, no max) that they are happy for another member to use, each week will earns credits , which can then be used to select another participating members holiday home on the swap list.
This will enable members to have a large selection of Holiday Homes from all over world to choose from when you fancy a change from your own vacation property.
The options will increase to the whole swap list and members won't have to find someone who wants to swap directly with you.
The credits are worked out mainly by the number of bedrooms the vacation property has, we have kept it as simple as possible but we have allowed for the time of year that the swap takes place ( eg. Peak season, mid season according to your countries seasons)
Members will of course, receive the information and contact details of the person who is going to use their holiday home and all the homes listed are still all holiday homes
We have made a thread on our forum for comments or to share thoughts about the new system and we would appreciate it if people would spare the time to do so.
If you find any problems with the forum we would really appreciate it if you could let us know and we will do our very best to sort it out.
If you have any constructive suggestions, we would be very interested to hear via the forum or if you prefer email us : email@example.com
We want to make Exchange Holiday Homes the leading Holiday Home swap website and for all our our members to have happy and exciting new holidays worldwide !
