A quiet evening spent in watching a period drama doesn't exactly go with the rock and roll lifestyle but for Sir Mick Jagger it is his perfect way to enjoy a Sunday night.
Laura Carmichael, the Downton Abbey actress, says she was left in shock after the 69 year-old told her he was a fan of the popular ITV series at the Met Ball this spring.
"It was crazy, he introduced himself as Mick even though we knew who he was," the actress says. "He said he was a fan of the show, it was surreal."
Read all about it
Kimberley Chambers, the crime writer who has been hailed as "the next Martina Cole", has just released her seventh novel, but the former cabbie tells me that she has still to work out how to use a computer. "I write all my books by hand," she says. "I scribble all my books down on paper and then get them typed: costs me about a grand, maybe £1,500 a time."
Now that she is making the bestseller lists, isn't it time she acquired a word processor? "Nah," she says. "I left school with no qualifications and was lucky when I was 38 just to find something I was good at: a pen and paper has served me fine so far."
A perfect fit
Jane Winkworth made headlines this spring when she snubbed an invitation to help the Prince's Trust, which aids unemployed youths and ex-offenders into training and jobs. The royal shoemaker said that working with former drug dealers was against her "moral infrastructure".
Thankfully, her client the Duchess of Cambridge meets her exacting standards. "She's educated, she's perfect," Winkworth says "That comes from her family, from her parents. There's no divorce, there's no scandal. This is a wonderful, proper family."
Mandrake presumes that the family are yet to tell Winkworth of Carole Middleton's drug-dealing brother, Gary Goldsmith, who resides at La Maison de Bang Bang in Ibiza.

The Game Changer in Women of Influence conference, successfully held at the Onassis Cultural Centre on Monday 5 February, by 24MEDIA in collaboration with the strategic communications company "Symeon G. Tsomokos", was sold out for a second consecutive year.
The conference was attended by more than 300 representatives of the business world and specialized executives of the sector. Following last year's success, this year's conference attempted to highlight the advantages of female participation in the economy and in society whilst contributing to a change in the mentality that hinders women's access to highly influential and prestigious positions.
Elena Papadopoulou, Chief Officer of Human Resources for the ΟΤΕ Group, spoke about gender-based discrimination in the job market, noting that it is women themselves who take steps backwards. Manolis Theodorakis, HR Director Greece & Balkans for Toyota Hellas focused on how technological advancement will help women in the job market.
Fotini Kouvela, Secretary General for Gender Equality, presented the figures for female unemployment which remain at 25%, even though the gap between men and women has closed over recent years. Elena Fornaro CEO της ALES GROUPE Hellas, spoke of the equality framework which is not only institutional, but created by companies themselves.
A very interesting survey was presented by Michalis Masourakis, Chief Economist of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises, regarding the equality between men and women in the job market, noting the low percentage of female participation in politics, whilst Charlotte Sammelin, Swedish Ambassador to Greece, spoke of Sweden's outstanding gender equality policy.
The conference was held with the support of Lierac and Athens Tech College and under the auspice of the General Secretariat for Gender Equality and the Hellenic Swedish Chamber of Commerce.
Media sponsors for the conference were Direction Business Network with Business Today, AdBusiness, advertising.gr, businessnews.gr, as well as Huffpost Greece and Ladylike.gr.

I couldn't resist it. I was fairly restrained for me I think, I passed up a couple of things I'd have loved like the beautiful blusher, but it was hard! Chanel's Spring Collection this year is really pretty and all of the lip products in particular stood out…but I have so many lipsticks, all barely touched because I rarely wear the same one twice in a month… I had to stop at just the one. So this is just a little look at the bits I did get.
Firstly, Black Pearl polish. I don't love this in the bottle, but I do love it on, it's a soft grey to my eyes and although it has green in it, under electric light it seems a bit Air Force Blue. I really like it.
And lastly, I was really taken with the Rouge Allure lipstick in Coquette. I do really love the Rouge Allure formula, it doesn't last a terribly long time on me but it's colour rich and so soft and moisturising. This is a nice shade that somehow manages to be bright and spring like without being too in your face. I'm smitten.
And please excuse the startled expression, this is just to give you an idea of the colour in relation to my whole colouring.
So last but not least, the swatches:
I shall have a good play with all this over the next few days and hope to bring you a "face of the day" post of them all in action.
Firstly I grabbed this Diesel Top. I love Diesel, I have quite a lot of Diesel tops. Easy casual wear.
Obviously my head hasn't shrunk with weightloss but I couldnt' resist this little woolly beret.
And I love this batwing sweater dress. It's too big but I love it!
This dress is amazing on. Super fitted on the top half, and it sort of sticks out in the skirt. Its so cute. Looks great with footless tights and peeptoe stillettos…
Love this skirt! Plain black skinny long sleeved tee and opaque tights along with the boots you can see further down.
A love this! Black/Blue skinny jeans and a check shirt. I've not worn such a fitted item as this shirt in so long, and now I can, and it's so flattering on, I'd have to say that out of all my new things, this is by far the most slimming.
Oh and I love this with the skinnies too. Looks so nice on. It's really full and wide and hangs really nicely.
Of course I needed new pyjamas too!
Ah my beloved new boots. I get compliments in them everywhere I go and I've not worn heels for so long I thought they'd kill me, but a day in these is no issue at all. I live in them. So comfy and look really good!
I wonder if I ought to take pictures of the other bits I got too. We'll see. Anyway, its been so nice getting new clothes, I've really enjoyed it, it's helped me feel really good about myself!
What have you bought recently? Have you had any January sales bargains, are there any sales still going on that you think I ought to be checking out?
You may or may not be aware that recently over at Secret Sales there was a Rouge Bunny Rouge sale. Now this ethereal looking brand has always appealed to me, but the prices were right out of my league… however, a 50% off sale was more than I could pass up! Generally speaking this brand isn't well known outside of the beauty blogging world, or least a quick survey of people I know showed that none of them had heard of the brand at all. Possibly the reason for this is the lack of availability in the High Street. I think it's probably only a matter of time before word spreads though, the quality is amazing and the packaging is to die for. So first up, just take a look at the stunning outer packaging and please try and pretend that there of the boxes arent' upside down…
The first item is the Decadent Duo in Tango and Argentino. It is beautiful. It's a liquid blush on one end and a gloss on the other and it really is beautiful. The liquid blush is a natural flush colour that blends like a dream and the lipgloss is a sheer pink with a hint of sparkle. However, I do kind of wish I hadn't bought this as they are so tiny. I'd rather have used my money to buy one of the gorgeous blush wand, but you know, they weren't half price, this was, and it is glorious. I just can't see it lasting me very long at all which is disappointing.
Next up are the three eyeshadows I bought or to give them thir proper name, When Birds Are Singing Long-Lasting Eye Shadows in Veiled Lyrebird, Tantalizing Lovebird and Gracious Arasari. Here they are under two different lights:
In the second picture the order is Gracious Arasari, Veiled Lyrebird and Tantalizing Lovebird. I have mixed feelings on these. The packaging is glorious, as are the colours! The level of pigment is pretty good. Gracious Arasari is the least shimmery of them all, and I must say I struggle to get it show up on my lid, it's fine in it's pigment levels, it just is very pale. Veiled Lyrebird and Tantalizing Lovebird are both stunning shades but they are very similar on my eyelid so they merge into one! Seperately they are stunning and for me, rather than wearing these shades together, I will probably end up wearing these when I want a single colour. Don't get me wrong, the formula of these is beautiful, and the swatches glorious, there's nothing wrong with the products at all, it's just the colours I chose! You'll see what I mean when you see the swatches shortly!
After what seems like an eternity my Fyrinnae order arrived today. It didn't take an eternity at all. It's just a case of a watched kettle type situation. Anyway, it arrived, very well packaged and I particularly liked the skull and crossbones tissue paper! I realise now looking at my samples that if I didn't already, I now own enough eye colours to last me all of my lifetime and probably both of my daughters lifetimes.
Averaging $2 per sample, there's enough there to keep me going for a long long time. I grabbed a big selection of shades, although I notice looking through them, most are neutral ish shades, browns, greys and so forth. Nearly all of them are very sparkly and I bought several of the arcane magic shadows which are duochromes. So pretty. So if you're ready I'm going to take you through looking at close ups and swatches of all the shades I got. All are swatched on bare skin unless otherwise stated. The little black pot is a sample of Pixie Epoxy.
First up Boy Toy, Catrina Caberet, Atomic Afterglow, Calavera Cupcakes, Dinosaur Plushie, Rapunzel Had Extensions and Leshu:
Swatched in the above order:
Atomic Afterglow and Rapunzeld Had Extensions really stands out. I was completely unable to capture the pink in Catrina Caberet but trust me it's there and very pretty.
Next Equality, Sugar Skulls, Madame & Evie's, STFU, Te Amo, Immortality and Half-Elf Hottie:
And swatches in the same order:
You can't tell from this pic but Immortality is AMAZING, see later for a better look at it, I'm also completely loving Half-Elf Hottie, again you can't really tell but it's cream with pink duo. Very nice. Te Amo is also a stand out.
Next up is Damn Paladins and Fire Opal:
And swatches:
Both of these are stunning but Fire Opal has this lit from within effect that is really stunning.
Also included in my samples were two freebies, in Ravens &Writing Desks and Leif:
I wouldn't have chosen either of these, particularly the green, but I'm game!
So thats the entire order, really pleased, I wasn't expecting them to swatch so well to be honest, I was expecting to have to use them on top of the Pixie Epoxy to get them to show up but I was pleasantly surprised. And speaking of the Epoxy, I simply had to show you two of my favourites swatched over it. I give you Immortality and Half Elf Hottie over Pixie Epoxy:
Do you see the rainbow coloured sparkle in Immortality? No? What about now?
Gorgeous huh?
I've had a little chance to play and as always, forgive the eyebrows, but I'm staggered how easy it is to create an eye look I've always wanted to be able to do. This is Atomic Afterglow and Rapunzel had extensions over Pixie Epoxy. I love it!
What do you think? Are you tempted by any? If you know a lot about this brand do you have any recommendations for me?
Hi all!
You are all probably a bit sick of hearing about the Mac Venemous Villains collection by now, so I'm sorry for yet another post.
I wanted a few bits, but not heaps from this collection but when it came down to it lack of funds dictated my purchases so I ended up with just two items from the collection. I also bought my first paint pot as I wanted to try using it as an eyeshadow base.
So, I purchased A Bite of an Apple blush, Bad Fairy Nail polish and Soft Ochre paint pot. My first thoughts are that I'm really disappointed with the blush. It's a nice colour but it's not as pigmented as I'd hoped for and I was hoping for far less pink and considerably more red/orange.
I also picked up Bad Fairy polish. All three of the polishes from the collection look gorgeous but I'm told the other two polishes are exact dupes of two of the Orly Cosmic FX polishes but Bad Fairy isn't a dupe so I had to get it.
Lastly I grabbed Soft Ochre paint pot, having quickly swatched it, it is almost invisible on my skin, this is fine as I bought it to use as a base for eyeshadows. I'm going to have to be careful not to mix it up with my Studio Sculpt concealer which is in and identical pot and a very similar colour!
I decided yesterday that actually I wanted one of the Mineral Eyeshadows and Toxic Tale lipstick, but I was too late, they've sold out. It's my own fault but I'm disappointed. If anyone has either of those items and wants to sell or swap please let me know!
I also feel compelled to show you the official Mac imagery for Bite of an Apple Blush. You tell me, does it bear any resemblance at all to what I actually got? No I don't think it does. I feel tempted to complain actually.
So did you buy anything from the Venemous Villains collection? Does it live up to your expectations? Did you get there too late and it had sold out? I will bring swatches and nails of the day soon.
I expect by now you've all seen this new Mac Collection. It's huge. I wanted lots of bits from it but common sense took hold and I scaled my list down considerably to just four items. I also changed my mind right at the last minute about which quad I was going to get… it was going to be the purple (Burmese Beauty if I recall correctly) but at the last minute I decided upon the Leopard Lux one and I'm so glad I did!
Here's what I got:
So theres the Desires & Devices Liquid Liner, The Leopard Lux quad (yes you do spy a taupe there), the Wildly Refined Lipglass and Aristo-Cat Lipstick.
And here's two swatch photos because I couldn't decide which was the best….
I would especially recommend enlarging the last picture. I think its obvious which swatch is which but the top row is the liner and quad, underneath is the lipglass and under that the lipstick.
The liner is olive green with lots of gold and dark sparkle, the quad features a camel, an orangey gold, a taupe with gold shimmer (although it's really hard to spot) and dark grey. It's really fabulous. Anyway, as soon as they arrived I had to put the eyeshadow and liner to use 🙂 As usual, I'm not very good at doing eye make up so don't expect a fabulous demonstration of the products, this isn't the blog to read if you want tutorials or fabulous examples of artistry 😉
The Leopard Lux quad is really lovely. It's a bit different from the usual neutrals, I love the yellowy shades, the camel and the gold, which make a change from creams and beige.
So have you bought anything from this collection or is it just too meh for you?
So amongst my Twitter friends, this collection and Mac in general seem to generally be out of favour. Undaunted though, I acquired a large part of the collection. I'm really quite thrilled!
So what did I get?
Petticoat MSF
Stereorose MSF
Chillin' Cremesheen
Right Image Cremesheen
I Like It Like That Lipstick
Jazzed Lipstick
Hang Loose Mineralize Blush
Happy Together Mineralize Blush
Fresh & Easy Mineralize Shadows
Soften The Mood Mineralize Shadows
Style Influencer Mineralize Shadows.
What really appealed to me about the shadows was the colour combinations. I love them and I'd never have thought of them on my own, I'm just not creative like that, Soften The Mood (the pink, blue and frosty plum) is especially beautiful. I also think the shadows are good value for money.
I also wanted to talk about the MSF's. I already have By Candlelight and it's beautiful and I wanted to get Stereorose, and that is really stunning but for me, the absolute stand out is Petticoat, I expected to like it but I had no idea it would be SO beautiful.
I've not done swatches because there are already so many around, but I am happy to if anyone wants any, and of course I'll be doing some FotD's with them. Just let me know if you want swatches.
I just wanted to show you what came in the post this morning for me from beautybay.com. I had to get more polish now I've finished swatching my Misa's. Ooops!
They very kindly chucked in a load of samples too. I forgot to take a pic of the gold which is called Shifting Power I think. The others are mini's of The Resort Collection and The Summer Collection.
All being well I hope to do my nails tonight, but I have no idea which one I'll start with!
In case you live in a bubble and have sadly missed my many updates, it is my birthday tomorrow.
As a special treat my sister came down for the day and took me out for lunch and for shopping. It's the first time I've ever left Lola for any length of time, and I didn't know myself. Really! Anyway, we had a lovely lunch sat outdoors on the Cathedral Green at Michael Caine's Brasserie and it was lovely and then we went off in search for a pressie. I showed her (amongst many other things) a Chanel quad I was in love with, which sadly was out of stock (Garden Party if you're interested), I really need it, it's stunning. Instead we left with my second choice of the Murano quad. It's very lovely, a dark grey/black, a teal, a light light grey/turquoise and a pink. It's very lovely. If anyone finds Garden Party though I'd love it, none of my local stores had it and I can't find it online either. Anyway, aside from that, I got another Guerlain Kohl in the post this morning. The discontinued Secret Glow. It's a beautiful pearly cream gold and really shows up beautifully on my waterline. All in all a very satisfactory day!
Pics & Swatches!
The kohl swatch is on the very left.
Happy Days. Hope you are all having a nice time in this fab weather!
As you will have seen in my previous posts there are a few new Lush producs knocking around so I had a sneaky little order. Reviews will follow in due course!
That's 2 Space Girl Ballistics, they aren't new products, I just love them, Keep It Fluffy Ballistic, Charlotte Island Body Tint, Grass Shower Gel, Happy 4 Sad Shower Gel, Glorious Mud and samples of Lovely Jubblies and R&B Hair Treatment.

What About that Old Nature?
Romans 6:1-14
God is great. He is constantly at work around us. And it is neat to see the transformation God does in people's lives. My Dad went from occasionally going to church when I was younger to being my "little evangelist" now that he has gotten older. Wherever he went these days, he would talk to the people there who he had never met and inevitably offer them a DVD – either "Jesus fact or fiction" with the Jesus film on it or the Jesus video in 16 languages. If you didn't accept it, then he would offer something else until you did. My Dad went from "tipping God" by putting a $10 in the offering to some serious giving – 25% of his salary before he retired. God had done a big work in my Dad's life.
In fact, as Bible-believing Christians who have repented and followed Jesus alone for salvation, aren't there times when you feel on top of the world spiritually. Maybe it is on a missions trip, after communion, during a service, on a retreat or when you hear of a miracle God has done. At those times you feel so full of thanksgiving, so appreciative of Jesus' live, that temptation seems to be far way. Life feels so full. Jesus is totally in control, the Holy Spirit is focusing us on holiness and our new nature is choosing the best for our lives. Right and wrong are clear. When we mess up, we are quick to repent and seek a change because we want to! At those moments it feels like our old nature is dead and gone – crucified forever.
But just a week later, it seems that our old nature is back with a vengeance – temptation is strong; our focus is on ourselves, our love for Jesus starts to cool off. Selfishness, greed, coveting and anger seem to grow. Right and wrong seem less clear – excuses become more common. We begin to sound like Linus in the Peanut's cartoon 2 weeks ago …
Lucy comes up with her comic book and demands "Did you tear the cover off this comic magazine?"
Linus looks down and says "Yes I guess I did." You either did or you didn't, so you can see why Lucy is exasperated and cries out "But why? Why do you do such stupid things?"
Seeming innocently Linus says, "I don't know… I really don't know …" Then the deflection starts – that subtle change where it seems the old nature starts taking over: "I've asked myself that too…I've asked myself that very question … Why do I do stupid things? Why don't I think? What's the matter with me? Where is my sense of responsibility? Then I ask myself, am I really responsible? Is it really my fault when I do something wrong? Must I answer for my mistakes?" Can't you see Lucy starting to get angry? Linus continues "Who is responsible? Who is accountable? Who is …"
About this time Lucy has had enough and slugs him with the rolled up comic. As Linus is laying on the ground he ends "Her kind never worries about these things?"
Our question today deals with these real life experiences we have and how are we to understand them in light of the Bible's teaching.
QUESTION: Since we are forgiven & now new creations in Christ with the old nature passed away, why do we still sin? It would seem the old nature is hanging around …
PROPOSITION: That aspect of the old nature which totally enslaved us is totally broken, defeated and crucified, however the desires of the old nature still battle within us to keep us from going God's way.
I. What has God done in the life of the true believer?
In the first part of Romans 6 we have three truths which touch on our question for today. Let's look at Romans 6 with this question: "What has God done in the life of a true believer?"
A. Forgiven us Rom 6:1 (chapter 5)
Romans 6:1. READ. The first thing God has done is forgiven us. Chapter 5 is full of references about our justification by grace – grace is a gift freely given to us by God and that is always greater than the sin we have done. So that leads us to a simple question: …
Does being a Christian mean we are permanently forgiven – can we sin in the future and it won't matter what we do or say? Absolutely false! True Christian grace is a gift from God and it has a direct effect on our sin nature – we died to sin. While we may sin, as chapter 7 will show us, we would never conclude that we can sin and that is somehow OK with God.
B. Crucified old nature Rom 6:6-8a
READ Romans 6:5-7. This clearly says that as a true believer, our old self – our sin nature – the flesh – has been crucified with Jesus – it has died. The key truth here is that we are no longer slaves to sin. We can never say about our explosive anger (or any other sin), "It's hopeless, I can't help myself – that is just the way I was made." When God adopted us into His family, He crucified our old nature – He broke the chains that enslaved us to the body of sins.
So if our old nature has been crucified, then does that mean a Christian won't be tempted anymore? Not at all as chapter 7 will show. Whatever it means to have our old nature crucified with Christ it does not mean will not face super enticing temptation from within.
C. Given us a new nature Rom 6:8b-10
READ Rom 6:8b-10. We see here that we have been raised with Christ. We have a new life – a life with Jesus. The life we live is for God. This reflects what is called the "new nature" in other places. When we become a Christian, not only is our old nature crucified by Christ but we are also given a new nature which brings life. This new nature is controlled by the Holy Spirit and wants to do the things of God.
That leads to a final question: Does that mean we are automatically good & holy? Again in chapter 7, we see that the mature apostle Paul struggles to do what is good and holy. It is not automatic. So being a new Christian who has been forgiven, had the old nature crucified & received a new nature that is spiritually alive does not stop us from sin. So what is happening here?
II. What role do we have? (Colossians 3:9-10; Ephesians 4:22, 24; Galatians 5:16-17; Romans 13:14)
A. Consider yourself dead to sin Rom 6:11
READ Romans 6:11. Clearly we have a role to play in whether we actually do acts of sin or not. "[Count or] Consider yourself dead to sin." We are to act as if the sin nature was gone. But that also means we will sense or feel that the old nature is not gone – in fact it will be encouraging us to sin.
B. Don't let sin reign in your life Rom 6:12
READ Romans 6:12. We are not to let sin have regular control in our lives. Again this is something we are called on to do in cooperation with God's work. Whenever we see ourselves going back and doing the same wrong things over and over again – we need to take strong steps to stop it once --- so it doesn't control us for the long run. Again whatever is crucified in our old nature it does not mean we won't feel evil desires from within.
C. Offer your time, thoughts & actions to God & righteousness Rom 6:13
READ Romans 6:13. We are to offer our time, thoughts & actions to God and the pursuit of righteousness rather than the sins that are a part of our life. These last 3 verses are also an excellent summary of the cooperation God wants us to have whenever we start to sin – whether that is acting selfishly, showing out-bursts of anger, constantly worrying, wanting to constantly buy more things, struggling with inpure thoughts or having bitter towards others. Whenever temptation is strong, we first need to challenge the way we are thinking and the excuses we are making. We are dead to that sin and need to act that way. Second, there has to be a change in our outward actions --- we must interrupt the sin cycle or it will start to control our lives. Jesus has died to break that control – we dare not go back to it. Finally, we must take time to do positive things that draw us closer to Jesus (like personal devotions) and positive things that help out Jesus' work in this world (like practical service at the church). These verses clearly shows that whatever God is saying about the crucifixion of the old nature it is NOT saying Jesus took all temptations. Instead Jesus calls every one of us to cooperate in our thoughts and actions with the work God is doing.
Romans 13:14 - Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Our sinful nature is still clearly trying to get us to sin by making sin look good.
Colossians 3:9–10 - Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. We are to take steps to tell the truth and not lie as we take off the old self and put on the new. Eph 4:22, 24 says the same thing
Ephesians 4:22, 24 - You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; … 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Finally Galatians 5:16–17 reminds us that the desires of our sinful nature are constantly clashing with the Holy Spirit in us - So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
There is a genuine battle inside of us at times – and many of us can identify with the apostle Paul's language in Romans chapter 7. And we have also mentioned that there are times when we are so surrendered to God and so immersed in His work that we don't feel any temptations at all. How do you put these together?
I personally like the picture that the Native American Christians give of this. They say each believer has a white dog and a black dog living in us. Our job is to feed the white one, not the black one. But how does this account for the Biblical language of our old nature (the black dog) having been crucified?
D. How can the old nature be dead/crucified yet still active & negatively affecting us? (Joshua 21:43-45; Judges 2:20-23)
And how can the Bible say that the old nature is dead and crucified when we are still being enticed to sin so strongly FROM WITHIN ourselves? Both aspects are seen in Romans as we have seen – the same is true of the book of Galatians. Over the centuries, Bible teachers have proposed a number of solutions to unite these two truths – they range from those who just emphasize the old nature is dead to those who just emphasize the battle within us – and those somewhere in the middle which is where I am. The way you answer this question actually determines the way you deal with temptation in your own life.
Some say that your old nature is totally dead, so any affect you feel must just be a shadow or remembrance of the past. Victory comes as you simply claim your place in Jesus. You see this reflected in Neil Anderson's works where deliverance comes primarily by appreciating our new titles in Christ or in the classic Lutheran approach to sanctification where understanding the concept of grace overcomes all problems. I think it is powerful to focus on who we are in Christ and how great God's grace is, but the inner temptations I feel and people tell me about are far more than just a shadow of the past and they certainly don't flee for long just from positive thoughts.
Others, like John MacArthur, say the old nature is totally dead but that sin still remains in our physical body itself which is not redeemed until our resurrected body. This view is more realistic about the battle we face inside, but it just seems to move the source of inner temptation from our old nature to our physical body. That seems more Platonist than Christian since God doesn't see the physical body as bad and the inner soul as good like followers of Plato did. People who hold this perspective tend to downplay the physical world or doing positive things there.
Still others claim that the old nature is crucified but it is taking a long, long time to die – like your whole lifetime. This view is realistic about the battle inside us but really plays loose with the language of death and crucifixion. Crucified people can't do anything to anyone. And "died" means "dead".
Some say that "nature" isn't "a thing" but "a capacity". Thus the old nature has been crucified – that is what was in it has been deflated & emptied out by God but as we hold on to wrong thoughts or do wrong things, then the capacity of the old nature increases again. In the same way the "new nature" is just a capacity for good and holiness. This rightly sees the importance of our role in this battle – feed the black dog and it gets stronger. But it tends to downplay the work of God somewhat. Whatever crucifying the old nature is – it is something far beyond our human ability. It is something God alone can do and is an awesome gift to us.
Turn to Joshua 21. This is where I love the Old Testament. It sometimes gives us pictures that help us to understand two competing pictures. I want to hold strongly both aspects we have seen – FIRST that God has crucified the old nature with an incredible victory at salvation and SECOND there is an inward battle we face in our lives as Christians between the old and new natures where God calls us to daily put off the old nature and put on the new.
Notice how Joshua's victory is described in v 43-45. READ. If this was all we knew, then we would assume this awesome victory removed every enemy from the Promised Land. Yet we see another aspect of this situation in Judges 2:20-21. READ. What? God had left nations and enemies inside Israel. The peace and rest wasn't permanent but DEPENDENT on their future obedience. READ Judges 3:1-2. God had planned all along to LEAVE some opposition in the land to teach future generations how to fight Biblically – using spiritual weapons as well as physical ones. When they were regularly disobedient that increased their struggles against their enemies.
So when the Bible says our old nature is crucified and dead – I believe it is like Joshua's amazing victories to take the Promised Land. The military backbone which was so imposing to the ten spies – that was totally broken. God has done something so incredible that no matter how much you and I struggle inside with our sinful thoughts – if we keep following Jesus we can't lose. That is how great God's victory was at Calvary – He broke the chains of slavery we were more bound in more than we'll ever realize. This takes away EVERY excuse any born-again Christian gives for their sin. This gives us confidence to challenge every excuse we make – it gives us confidence to challenge the rationalizations of others. You can't blame your parents, your nationality, your situation – nothing for you sin. Because God broke that bondage.
But God also left an element of that old nature – the black dog in our life. These are meant to be smaller, everyday type of battles. These temptations are there to help us learn to be overcomers. It helps us get ready for heaven. It is there so we can learn how to cooperate with God to have victory over temptation and individual sin. We need to learn how to combine our physical actions with our spiritual resources so we give the Holy Spirit more control in our lives. We are learning how to feed the white dog.
This dynamic between what God has done and what we are to do touches most areas we teach here at the church. For example, a month ago we taught that a Christian can overcome worry by prayer. Why does that work? First God has already broken all major slavery to our old nature that causes us to worry. No one can say it is hopeless. Then God gives us a new perspective of life and heaven that allows us to let go of the worries in this world – God wants us to think differently about situations than the people around us. However God also leaves some small pockets of unconquered worries that genuinely tempt us. As we apply our physical effort, thinking different and our spiritual resources – in this case prayer – we can overcome any worry. God is using these two fold cooperative process to mold us into stronger Christians.
Let me end with just one more illustration. It is not unusual for someone to come up to me and say "I prayed for God to take away this bad desire, but He didn't. So it must be OK." People give this excuse for why they are marrying a non-Christian, why their credit cards are maxed out, and why they are doing illegal drugs. Since God didn't take away the feelings, it is OK for me to live unBiblically. That is a total misunderstanding of how God works. Where does God ever say we are to combat temptation by praying God just take it away? Here what is really happening …. (God please don't let this book fall – but we keep pushing it, we keep feeding the black dog, we keep close to the temptation) PRAY STRONGER. What is going to happen to this book? It will fall! Did God do something wrong? Not at all. We failed to cooperate with the work Jesus has already done. The biggest part of sin's slavery has been broken. But there is genuine temptations we will all FEEL STRONGLY – it is so we get stronger spiritually. Feed the white dog and starve the black one.
III. How does this help us?
- We are in a lifetime struggle (realistic)
- We celebrate the incredible victory of Jesus & put spiritual resources first!
- The "dog" we feed will get stronger
- We are in control of our choices
- There is a great dynamic in life
IV. Other - selfish, hateful, and greedy
Let me end with this illustration of how false expectations in this area are really devastating Christians.
- A dedicated Christian becomes engaged to a non-Christian in disobedience to the Bible. They tell me, "I couldn't help it. In fact I prayed to God to take the feelings away but He didn't". So it is God's fault.
- A regular church person has maxed out their credit cards. "I asked God to take away these feelings I have to buy more, but He didn't." So I can't help myself.
- A church leader has an affair. They said it just happened – then they prayed to God to take away the feelings, but He didn't. So I couldn't help continuing.
These violate everything we just said as they claim the power of sin is too great & God's power too little. But they are
Take big book. Start pushing. "Lord I am worried this book is going to fall. Please Lord don't let this book fall." "Lord, I am fasting and praying you stop this book from falling." "Lord it will destroy this book, please stop it from falling." CRASH. I don't know why the Lord didn't stop the book from falling. Because we were pushing it. Because we were feeding the black dog. Because we weren't fleeing immorality but cozying up to it – we weren't cutting up the credit cards and feeding our lust. Stop praying one way when you are acting another. Start being a warrior who overcomes obstacles relying on our spiritual weapons and putting our efforts the same way.

Give Love Recipient (December)
Meet Kimber, our December #LWJgivelove nominee. At her 20-week ultrasound, Kimber found out there was no fluid surrounding her baby. She went to a specialist a week later and they were suspicious that he had a rare autosomal kidney disease. They were told that if he made it to full term and his lungs were functional, he would begin dialysis and continue until he was big enough for a kidney transplant.
Two weeks after getting this devastating news, Kimber was diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma. She opted to wait to treat her cancer until the baby was born. Baby Jace was born prematurely at 32-weeks and passed away an hour after birth. After 6 rounds of chemotherapy, where she lost her hair, Kimber was happy to hear that she is cancer free!
Kimber's friend said of her "She has been through SO much in the past year and through it all she has remained the happy, kind and thoughtful person that I've always known." Much love to you and your sweet family, Kimber!

For five years the Pride gift shop in the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center has carried same-gender couple cake toppers for wedding cakes. Some of that merchandise has been on the shelves the whole five years. That all changed on Monday morning, October 6, 2014, when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the Oklahoma marriage equality lawsuit and similar lawsuits from other states. The Oklahoma case was on appeal from the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Colorado, which had upheld U.S. District Judge Terence Kern's January 14, 2014, decision striking down Oklahoma's ban on same-sex marriage. The minute the announcement was made that marriage licenses could be issued to same-sex couples at court clerk's offices across the state, the phone calls started coming in on the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center's LGBT helpline requesting cake toppers for gay weddings and officiants to perform the ceremonies.
Within 24 hours, hundreds of same-sex couples had been issued marriage licenses across the state, and the next wave of phone calls that came into the LGBT helpline was from newly married same-sex couples wanting to know if and when tag agencies and the Department of Motor Vehicles would be allowing name changes on Oklahoma driver's licenses. The helpline went from an average of 126 phone calls every day to an average of 300 phone calls a day.
Things have settled down, and now the volume of calls is hovering around 200 calls a day, with a sizable portion being questions about officiants, venues for weddings, gay-friendly caterers, florists, jewelers, photographers, bakeries and honeymoon sites. No one wants to do business with a bigot. Just like any other couple getting married, same-sex couples want to spend their money for their special day with supportive and welcoming businesses.
At the time of this writing, the staff of Oklahomans for Equality have made contact with more than 32 court clerk's offices across Oklahoma, assessing the volume of same-sex couples getting marriage licenses and confirming welcoming and inclusive officiants and locations. With around 2,300 same-sex marriage licenses already issued in those 32 counties, it is safe to say marriage equality possibly will have a recognizable economic impact over the next few months. If those 2,300 couples have spent around $300 each for the marriage licenses, officiant fees and some less-expensive wedding rings, that already comes in at close to $700,000 in less than 3 months for Oklahoma.
Last spring, before marriage equality had descended on Oklahoma, a prominent business owner who employs around 150 people and her female partner decided they wanted to get married after 23 years together. She sent me a wedding invitation and let me know that as a business owner she was very dismayed that she was spending money in a state other than her own. She confided that the wedding had cost her $88,000. Last month, my partner and I attended a wedding reception of a male couple who had married in New York last summer but whose marriage was now legally recognized in Oklahoma. I was told by the mother of one of the grooms that the couple had spent $54,000 on their special night.
Marriage Equality is here and now the law of the land in Oklahoma, and business leaders could expect it to generate in excess of $3 million over the next three years if each couple spent only $300 on the most basic wedding ceremony with the most affordable rings money can buy. A recent Williams Institute Study* estimates a windfall of over $20 million for the Oklahoma economy and almost $1.8 million in tax revenue alone. The study also predicts hundreds of new jobs in the wedding industry and lots of tourism dollars for family coming from out of state to celebrate the weddings of their Oklahoma gay relatives. I am inclined to predict a smaller financial impact because same-sex couples are still dealing with job security and income fall-out from the economic downturn in 2008. However, I would also recommend you might want to invest in some wedding industry businesses, because I forecast that business is going to be very good for the next several years.

Buffalo indie filmmaker Emir Skalonja was first introduced
to me with his serial killer/torture porn flick The
Butcher. The
Butcher is the only film to this day
where I've seen a killer use a cheese grater on a womans
set of heavy hangers to turn them into shredded tit cheese.
Skalonja has since made the films Flesh of My Flesh
-- a film tribute to Silent Hill -- and this zombie
opus The Plague, which also boasts that political and
social commentary which usually accompanies these zombie
films that George A. Romero introduced in 1968 with Night
of the Living Dead.
The Plague
is shot well in crisp high definition and I was impressed
with the intro which goes so far as to research a valid
background story with actual and effective stock footage.
The black and white clips of the lady speaking about the
current situation in her town really added an authentic
touch and set up a chilling introduction. The most chilling
part is that the background story is true (minus the
mercenaries being sent out and the dead coming back to
The true story of the community of Love Canal on Murica's
side of Niagara Falls. The history and true story is very
interesting and worth researching. The early history has
entrepreneur William T. Love planning a canal connecting The
Niagara River to Lake Ontario in the 1890s but it was
botched because he wanted to remove water from Niagara Falls
which would thus put an inevitable end to the beautiful
landmark. Love Canal was supposed to be a Utopian vision of
the perfect community but gradually declined and was bought
by the Hooker Company in the 1940s. The Hooker Company
dumped some 22,000 barrels of toxic waste in the unused
canal, this in turn brought on cases of leukaemia. Residents
were evacuated and a clean-up was ordered. This clean up
only wrapped up in 2004!
I commend Skalonja on doing such great research with this
movie and getting into true events which propel the material
into a solid level of entertainment. My only wish was that
Skalonja had the budget to tell such a story with a more
competent vigor. It says on IMDb that Skalonja filmed this
for $1000 so I commend his efforts and enthusiasm. I just
feel the budget and other restraints really bring The Plague down from being something a lot greater than what
it could have been.
Once the true backstory is wrapped up we are introduced to
the characters which consist of a boyfriend/girlfriend Goth
couple who are also subsequently hitmen... sorry, hit "persons."
We also get introduced to Brother Jack (Joshua McDonald) and
his sister Becky (Nicole Skalonja, the directors wife). The
opening scenes with Jack and Becky are funny because Becky
is actually watching her husbands blog on YouTube when Jack
expresses his annoyance of it and can't figure out why Becky
could enjoy watching such drivel. We are then introduced to
a mercenary (Adam Litton) who seems to be in a struggle to
evade the undead. Finally we meet the religious fanatic
character, played by Jason Snug, who plays an important role
later in the movie. Nicole Skalonja actually gives the best
and most convincing performance in The Plague, she
has some great acting chops and a convincing vibe about her.
Jack and Becky are out for a jog one day when they meet up
with the mercenary. The mercenary lays out all the details
for them of how he was sent to dispose and cover up the
toxic waste dumping and the dead coming back to life. Becky
and Jack meet up with the two contract killers and decide to
form an alliance to get through the hellish maze of zombies.
Soon the zombies are put on the back burner as our friendly
neighborhood gun totting token religious fanatic comes a
knockin spouting anti Hilary Clinton, homophobic, pro-NRA
chants and even quoting Home Alone!?
The Plague has great intentions but the execution is just not there.
I'm not sure what is up with the corset wearing, black eye
liner coated assassins and forced and clichéd social
commentary, plus the model toy weapons and lone mercenary
wandering aimlessly with no team members sporting Timberland
hiking boots, and the whole thing tries hard but ends up in
the dreaded Zombie film clichéd blues. The story just
doesn't add up with the facts. Its a cool play on it and I
hope Skalonja continues to plug away at his indie
productions with wonderful ideas and enthusiasm such as this
but it just doesn't quite hit the mark.

Gareth's Birthday Dinner.
Rigatoni With Ricotta, Tomato, & Artichoke Sauce, Turkey Meatballs
Gareth loves pasta, so to celebrate his birthday yesterday I made him this yummy pasta dish. The pasta is flavorful and refreshing and the turkey meatballs compliment it nicely.
- 1 package (20 oz) lean ground turkey
- 1/8 cup egg beaters or egg substitute
- 1/8 cup corn meal
- 1/8 cup grated parmesan
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp hot sauce
- 10 leaves fresh basil (chopped)
- 1 shallot (diced)
- 1 can quartered artichokes
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cans (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup reduced fat ricotta cheese
- 8 oz rigatoni pasta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- splash of red wine
- dash of red pepper flakes, to taste
- dash of garlic salt, to taste
Serves between 2-5 people, depending on how hungry you are.
Turkey Meatballs: Put the ground turkey into a large mixing bowl and add corn meal, parmesan, mustard, egg beaters, hot sauce, basil and a generous sprinkling of garlic salt. Mix all of the ingredients together and then mold the meat into small to medium-sized balls using the palms of your hands. Put the meat balls onto a non-stick baking sheet in neat rows with about 1 inch in between in one. Heat the oven to 375 degrees and cook the meatballs for approximately 25 minutes or until they browned.
Ricotta, Tomato, & Artichoke Sauce: In a large sauce pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat. When olive oil is heated, add in the garlic and the diced shallot. Sautee until the shallots turn a translucent color. Add the artichokes and continue to sautee. After about 5 minutes, add a splash of red wine to de-glaze the pan and then add in the crushed and diced tomatoes and allow the sauce to simmer on a low heat. Sprinkle in a dash of garlic salt, a dash of red pepper flakes and the ricotta cheese. Put the cooked meatballs into the sause and continue to simmer.
While the sauce and meatballs are simmering, cook your rigatoni pasta "al dente" per the instruction on the pasta package (each pasta will be different.) After your pasta is cooked, drain the pasta and shake out all excess water. You can then plate the pasta and spoon on the sauce and meatballs. Enjoy!

Lord God to Thee We give all praise (LSB 522)
St. Michael and All Angels
Philipp Melanchthon, the chief author of the Augsburg Confession, wrote this beautiful hymn on the holy angels and their work. Written a few years before Luther's death one can imagine it bringing comfort to Luther himself as he lay on his death bed.
Music helps us to see what is unseen. Through Word and song we see the holy angels: that watchful band that guard us in this life and attend us as we die (stanza 7). As we busily go they are forgotten, but they do not forget us as they protect toddling children, those who travel, grow weak, who are tempted, who are dying and many others.
The hymn shows them in two dimensions, before the Father in heaven, and here on earth in daily life. Stanzas 1–3 teach that they are created and are attending the Christian Church on earth. This makes clear their work for human beings as seen as they attended even to our Lord Jesus in birth, time of danger, and Resurrection.
Stanzas 4–6 depict another angel, who is not from eternity, but also one of the creation, the devil. He is not equal to Jesus but fallen and angry (4), always causing trouble in both Church and State (5), and as St. Peter writes is looking to harm Christians like a roaring lion.
He cannot and will not win, as we are blessed to see in Revelation the angels fight for us in heaven. Today we can join our voices with theirs in praise of God (8) because Satan has been conquered by the blood of Christ.
Rev. Adrian N. Sherrill serves Trinity Lutheran Church, Denver, Colorado.

The Whallonsburg Grange Hall was built in 1915 by the members of the Grange Chapter 954 of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. The chapter was one of thousands of Grange organizations in rural communities across the country that flourished beginning in the mid-19th century, claiming a national membership of nearly 1 million by the mid-1870s. The purpose of the National Grange then and now is to promote education, community engagement and the political and economic interests of farmers and other rural residents. It was the first national organization to admit women as equal members and promoted women as officers. It was actively involved in the movements for women's suffrage, temperance, and to defend farmers from price-gouging by the railroads.
The Whallonsburg Grange chapter was founded in 1903 and became the largest and most active in Essex County. The Grange Hall was the site for meetings, Junior Grange events, community suppers, theatricals, and all sorts of other activities. Local residents have fond memories of weddings, receptions, and dances taking place here over many decades. But by the mid-1980s, the Grange chapter had declined to several dozen members who found it difficult to manage the costs of running and repairing the building. Various attempts were made to keep the building open, but by the mid-1990s the Hall was shuttered.
In 2006, a group of residents got together and developed a plan to save the Grange and create a vibrant arts and community center. By then, the Town of Essex owned the building and agreed to allow the nonprofit Whallonsburg Civic Association to manage it. Beginning in 2008, volunteers from all over the Champlain Valley restored and renovated this historic building. Thousands of hours of donated labor and over $150,000 was raised to install new electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and sanitary systems; add a state-of-the-art audio system, movie projector, and stage; and create a multi-purpose dining room, build a community kitchen, and transform the exterior and grounds.
It remains a volunteer-run community center with a mission that harkens back to that of the original Grange – to be a center of life in this rural community.
Today, the Whallonsburg Grange Hall, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, manages the building through an agreement with the Town of Essex.
Visit the Town of Essex historical archives in the Village to learn more about the history of the Whallonsburg Grange. Read this article from 1885 on the early history of the Town of Essex and hamlet of Whallonsburg.

Isungset specifies that all the recording sessions were played outdoors, (except one track which was recorded inside a unique ice cathedral in Lillehammer), and accordingly, the coldness affected the ice characteristics and the way that he customized the ice instruments for each concert. The list of collaborators this time is much wider than in his former ice duets, Igloo (All Ice, 2006 with vocalist Sidsel Endresen, and Two Moons (All Ice, 2007) with vocalist and trumpet player Per J?rgensen. This time Isungset cooperates with trumpet player/ vocalist Arve Henriksen, Saami joik vocalist Sara Marielle Gaup, folk singer Unni L?vlid, pop-jazz vocalist Lena Nymark and opera singer Silvia Moi. The sonic outcome is still coherent and arresting in its mysterious and quiet beauty.
The ice percussion instruments have a resonating quality, with a sound similar to the echoing of Tibetan singing bowls, but due to their origin they are also unpredictable, fragile, and obviously non-durable. Isungset uses their meditative sounds with great skill and imagination when he plays with vocalists. He colors the soft guttural vocals of Gaup who recites Saami songs with distant sounds, adds repeated rhythmic pattern around the folksy vocals of Unni L?vlid, gently embraces the sweet vocals of Lena Nymark and with the sound manipulations of Jon Halvor Bj?rnset creates an eerie texture that accompanies the precise phrasing of Moi. On all these duets he suggests a close intimacy.
The duets with Henriksen are much more experimental, offering a daring and spare interpretation of Edvard Grieg's dance piece "Fola, fola Blacken," setting Henriksen's fragile vocals in an almost deserted sonic environment, or challenging Henriksen on the "icehorns" that offers a familiar whispering sound to Henriksen's trumpet, only a deeper one.
On the solo pieces, most of them recorded in some of the colder locations, Isungset lets natureice and falling snowtake the lead, adapts his musical sensibilities to the changing weather and plays on the ice itself, unprocessed and raw, as the main instrument.
These concerts were captured beautifully by sound engineer Asle Karasted, and the jewel box was designed with a unique water ampoule, as a souvenir from these musical journeys. Don't miss the photos from these concerts in Isungset's Blog. Highly recommended.
Track Listing: Dolo?aigi; Fola, fola, Blakken; Contemplation; Ser deg; Inuit; Horizon; The other side; Silucian town; Ice talks; ??hcelott??; Vond dag; Duottarjorga?¡; Silent Coldness; Ice Memories.
Personnel: Terje Isungset: ice percussion, flute, voice; icefon; icehorn, ice; Sara Merielle Gaup: joik (1, 10, 12); Arve Henriksen: trumpet (2), vocal (5,7), icehorns (7); Unni L?vlid: vocal (4, 6); Lena Nymark: vocal (8); Silvia Moi: vocal (11); Jon Halvor Bj?rnset: live sampling; Nature: snow and ice.

ILL-Ustrated Songs #19 : DARLA HOOD - MY QUIET VILLAGE
What turned one of the Little Rascals into a grown up sexy Lounge lizard? It probably had something to do with her marriage. Darla Hood divorced her insurance salesman hubby in 1957, and the ex-child star and most famous female of the "Our Gang" comedies, married record company exec Jose Granson the same year. Which was 1957, the year she recorded her first demi-hit, "I Just Wanna Be Free."
"My Quiet Village" arrived in 1959. Yes, the song was intended to cash in the rage for what we now call "exotica," the music that backpack-wearers now clamber over themselves to acquire, breaking their horn rims and breaking wind, as they hunker over musty cardboard boxes of albums in thrift shops or at nerd-events like the WFMU record fair.
Over at the Illfolks blog, a single track of the Martin Denny and Les Baxter stuff generally is enough for any given month, but if the music strays into the weirder territory of Yma Sumac's self-parody, or darling Darla, then maybe it's worth a second spin. But a third would be pushing it until another full moon has passed.
Darla's birthday is coming up soon (November 8, 1931 - June 13, 1979) which is another reason to post this oddity. So is the sad fact that up until this posting, Darla could not be found via a CaptainCrawl.com search:
"My Quiet Village" was originally released on the indie Ray Note label, and credited to Baxter-Leven (the sheet music gives the full names, Leslie Baxter and Mel Leven). Darla would follow "My Quiet Village" with "Silent Island," for which she supplied the lyrics. Billboard enthused, "ballad, chanted warmly by the chick to a lush backing featuring strings." But we'll leave that for another time, and somebody else's blog.

Solitamente la maggior parte di noi sono rappresentati da un solo segno zodiacale ma questa maestra del trucco si è appena trasformata in tutti e 12! Il suo segreto? Anni di pratica più una buona dose di glitter.
Questa serie è stata creata da Setareh Hosseini, una giovane artista di Toronto.
She is the tide, the gentle glow of the moon, the waves crashing on the shore. She feels everything deeply, even though she doesn't like to show it. Her shell may be hard and at times unbreakable but it is forever guarding her tender soul. Surely it is harder to break something soft rather than rigid. You touch her and she is far more real than anything you have ever felt before. Cosmic particles of moon dust line her veins. For she is like the moon, you'll see her with a new face everyday. ♋ #CANCER
Recognized by her contradictory nature, her mind is always alternating between logic and absurdity. She's a combination of high intelligence, wit, and eloquence. Forever battling mystical forces of left and right; she'll mirror your best and worst parts and show you things you never knew you needed to see. ♊ #GEMINI
Uncompromisingly stubborn with a strong willed character, great perseverance and determination. She has a hot and fiery temper, and will unleash it when pushed to her limits. Even so, she loves anything that excites her senses. Controlled by inner serenity and a powerful sense of stability, she is & always will be a force to be reckoned with. ♉ #TAURUS
She personifies innocence, purity and justice. Her earthly nature makes her exceedingly clever and analytical. All that is beautiful to her erupts in subtle, though magnificent spectacle. She's a maiden & belongs to the pristine; always striving to bring order out of chaos. ♍ #VIRGO #zodiac #makeup #mua
You can usually pick her out from a crowd – she's the one with the loudest laugh, the brightest smile, and the most confident strut of them all. Her hair is a mane made of gold, and her skin glows like a sunset. She is an alpha, a lioness, a leader and a warrior. She may appear soft like a daydream, but she has a never ending inferno burning inside her. ♌ #LEO
She's a mad scientist in her lab, inventing and creating night and day. Her rapid influx of thoughts and subsequent surprising actions make her unpredictable and rebellious. Anarchy is her specialty. Forever fighting valiantly for the soul of the world, she pours forth her wisdom and equilibrates your mind. She is dazzling and terrifying; those words are not as removed from one another as you may think. Always seeing a thin line between genius and insanity. She lives in the future and who she is comes in waves. ♒ #AQUARIUS

Meet your specialists: Personal Injury & Medical Negligence
Jonathan Zimmern was instructed by C's father to investigate a claim against Suffolk Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust, now the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
At the age of nine, C was diagnosed with high functioning autism and hyperacusis, the inability to filter sounds. He was placed into the care of Dr Mayall, a Paediatric Psychiatrist at Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust. Under Dr Mayall's care, C went to a mainstream school, achieved good grades at GCSE and did well at sport, particularly rugby. He was accepted to study A-levels and was planning to go to university.
When C was 17, Dr Mayall told him he would no longer be able to care for him once he was 18 and referred him to Dr Gaddal, who treated adults, at the same hospital. C was very nervous about switching psychiatrists but met with Dr Gaddal. A few days later, Dr Gaddal wrote saying he could not treat C until he was 18. Because C was so upset, Dr Mayall agreed to continue seeing him until his 18th birthday.
Once C turned 18 in February 2011, he was referred back to Dr Gaddal. In March, C met with one of Dr Gaddal's team, Dr Bhardwaj and told him he had been having suicidal thoughts. He was reassured and told that a treatment plan would be put in place.
C did not hear from Dr Bhardwaj for several weeks. He began to struggle in the lead up to his A- levels. In April, C received a letter from Dr Bhardwaj discharging him from the hospital's care without a treatment plan. He was shocked by this letter, terrified that he would not be able to cope on his own. He became very withdrawn and depressed. His father, a GP, arranged an urgent appointment with Dr Mayall, who was also very concerned about C's condition.
On 13 May 2011, C attempted to hang himself from a tree in his garden. Fortunately, his father found him and was able to successfully resuscitate him and get him to A&E, followed by an inpatient stay at The Priory Hospital in Chelmsford. C was forced to defer his place at university for a year and both he and his father continue to have regular flashbacks of the trauma of the attempted suicide and the immediate aftermath.
C instructed Jonathan Zimmern in October 2011. Jonathan arranged for a Psychiatrist to comment on the care provided to C and subsequently wrote a letter of claim to Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.
In their letter of response, the Trust admitted liability. They conceded that, had C not been discharged from the hospital's care by Dr Bhardwaj, he would not have attempted suicide. Following this admission, Jonathan was able to secure a settlement of £30,000 for C.
C's father went on to say:
"I had to deal with the traumatic consequences of finding my son in the middle of a very serious suicide attempt. Medical negligence was the cause of him being as low as he was. Jonathan Zimmern of fieldfisher steered and guided us through the difficult and sometimes harrowing legal process that followed. In all that he did for my son he could not have been more sensitive, considerate and thoroughly professional. We are in his debt and hugely grateful."
Upon completion of the case, Jonathan Zimmern said:
"This potential tragedy was only narrowly avoided by C's father's quick actions. The reality is that C fell between two stalls, as neither the adult nor paediatric mental health services accepted responsibility for his care. Sadly, it is a situation that we are seeing more and more often.
By Jonathan Zimmern, Partner

This video has been shared many times online, but it's worth sharing (and watching) again and again. Filmmakers Liberty Smith and Sophie Windsor Clive have captured one of the most incredible sights in the natural world: a murmuration of starlings, above an island in the river Shannon, Ireland. Liberty and Sophie's website can be viewed here: www.islandsandrivers.com. It includes several more of their short films.
But for now press play, watch, and watch again.

I'm always amazed when people ask "Where should I start?"
As if there is some more appropriate point than the beginning.
So that's where we are. Feet firmly planted at the starting line, ears perked, eyes focused, heart racing, stomach dropping, lunch looking for the nearest exit...
Ok, stop. Breathe. Breathe.
It'll be ok. I promise.
Let's start with the simple things - what we know.
We know you want a job as a creative.
We know you're talented, hard-working, smart, pretty and whatever other lies your mother spoonfed you.
We know that it's a wild world (I thought they were singing "Ooh baby it's a wagon" til I was about 12) and it takes time, effort, perseverance, comfortable shoes, thick skin and some serious schmoozing.
So let's go.

Korean-born visual artist Suyeon Na investigates the fluidity of the self and the complexity of the world around her, by manipulating images sourced from newspaper, fashion magazines and patterns on the surface of fabrics we see every day. Na mines the imagery from fairytales, mythology, and Asian folklore which influenced her childhood, and combines them with the remnants of today's world. In her work, the crystalline collages made with fabric, paper and sequins are mingled with watercolor-painted, mythological figures, often females and animals. While surrounded by lavish colors and textures, these characters quietly deliver psychological narrative about the issues of social and cultural adaptation, gender, love and intimacy.
Na received a BFA from Seoul National University and a MFA from Pratt Institute. Her work has been widely exhibited at numerous venues in the U.S., Korea, Japan and India, including New York Foundation for the Arts, Context Art Miami, Scope New York, Chashama Gallery, the Brooklyn Public Central Library, Textile Arts Center and ISE Cultural Foundation in the U.S., the Seoul Arts Center and Uijeongbu Arts Center in Korea, the Studio Kura in Japan, and the Jawahar Kala Kendra Art Centre in India. Also she served as a juror and mentor for the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program and has been awarded artist grants and studio spaces from the Vermont Studio Center, Chashama Visual Arts Studio, and the Contemporary Artists Center.

Manchester United have completed the signing of Swiss wonderkid Dimitri Oberlin Mfomo, according to the Daily Mirror.
The 16-year-old will see his contract at FC Zurich expire at the end of the season, and he has chosen Old Trafford as his next destination.
The Swiss youth sensation can move for a small compensation fee, and United are set to offer him an attractive package to make the switch.
A number of other top European clubs were thought to be desperate to sign the talented teenager.
Manchester United are set for a busy summer in the transfer market, with David Moyes tasked with rebuilding the side after a season which has seen them struggle outside the top four.
Moyes is desperate to strengthen the United midfield, and while Mfomo is considered for the future, the Scot is hoping to sign Hoffenheim midfielder Roberto Firmino.
The Brazilian playmaker is reportedly considering a summer move, and may be available for around £12.5million.
Meanwhile, Robin van Persie may be allowed to leave the club in the summer, should United complete the signing of £58million rated forward Edinson Cavani.
