By John Zimmer
Grace Bible Church of Marysville is a teaching church, committed to the study of the Bible as the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God.
Our head is the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible is our ultimate and sole authority for how we are to live our lives.
As we grow in the knowledge and application of God's Word we are better able to reflect the life of Christ in all that we say and do for His glory and honor.
Our outreach to the community involves explaining the "Good News" (the gospel) of how men and women can be saved from the penalty of their sins and spend eternity in heaven with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Our name describes our vision and our mission. Grace is central because it is by God's grace that we exist.
He has seen fit to assemble this body of believers to exalt His Son, Jesus Christ–the One whose death and resurrection gives us peace with God and the hope of heaven.
Bible speaks of the Word of God given to us as a "lamp to our feet, and a light to our path."
It is through the written Word of God that we are able to know His will for our lives. Church is paramount because it is God's designation for the assembly of people called by His name.
Our course has been charted by God, our destiny has been planned by God and our purposes have been defined by God. Our Pastor/Teacher John Zimmer served on the administrative and pastoral staff of Grace Community Church with Pastor John MacArthur for 13 years.
The emphasis of Zimmer's ministry is the expository preaching and teaching of God's Word through a verse-be-verse exposition of Scripture.
Knowing that the Bible is the Word of God, totally sufficient and relevant for all time, his sermons pay particular attention to the historical, and grammatical aspects of each biblical passage.
Zimmer was called to be the Pastor/Teacher at Grace Bible Church of Marysville and has been faithfully expositing God's Word for 25 years.
The ministries of Grace Bible Church exist for the express purpose of growing in our understanding of God's Word so that we might know Him better, love Him more deeply and serve Him more effectively.
The result is a greater love for one another.
Some of our ministries
•Sunday morning Adult Bible Classes (8:30 nursery and toddler care provided)

peaceful more added
Thank you, sweet everyone who has sent their good wishes and offers of help. I was really touched by all the kindness that swung my way after that last post. It's a little embarrassing to overtly plump for people to pet you, but man, ask and ye shall receive. You all are just lovely people.
My mom's out of the hospital and safely home, and Dave and I are back at our Pink House. Mom's a little wobbly and nervous, feeling a little like a time bomb, but she should be fine. Thankfully she has a friend staying with her tonight, to make her feel a little more secure. I visited her today and found her clutching My Therapy Buddy!* (It arrived. And it's a lady! I mean, it's a lady's voice. I remembered the buddy sounding more androgynous, and sort of interpreting it to be an effeminate male. But it's all woman. But it's built like a man. An out of shape man. It actually sort of looks like my dad.) Anyway, there she was, hugging the buddy, and she was all, "You can get another one. This one's mine."
*I re-read this and realized that the sequence here made it sound like My Therapy Buddy was the "friend" staying with her. No, she had a real human friend person there. (Sorry, My Therapy Buddy. I should have told you to cover your ears.)
The buddy is remarkably comforting, I have to tell you. We bought it for a joke, but it is really perfectly shaped and squishy in just the right amount and IT FEELS GOOD TO HOLD IT. The hypothesis that 98% of people can be helped by a buddy...I have to say, I believe it. You don't even have to believe in the power of the buddy. IT FEELS GOOD TO HOLD IT. You could have a tiny, shrivelled, vinegary heart, you could be the world's most cynical bastard, and you might be able to deny outwardly that it's doing anything for you, but inside you would be like, Hold me, buddy. Tiens moi. Don't let go.
So the buddy is hers. I feel very good about that. We can order another one. And we're going to.
Our sweet friend Morgan came to our house and worked like a dog for four hours yesterday, helping us clean and organize the space. She was amazing. Blim! Blam! Taking charge! She and Dave toiled away while I lay on my left side feeling guilty. So much progress was made, it was incredible. And besides all of your lovely comments, we got some beautiful, heartfelt offers of help. We feel so supported. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you, everybody. You all very much added more peaceful to our order.
We won't.

OMG has new bottle labels and price! Check out the OMG nail polish spread at Landmark Makati:
In the second (close up) image above, you can see that the old bottle labels are on the right side, while the new bottle prints are on the rest of the bottles. Interesting development! Of course I have to buy the new bottles. I got two pink ones: First Date and Champagne.
Here you can see a better close up view of the new bottle prints. The sticker labels in front are now gone, and replaced with labels printed directly on the glass bottles. The bottles themselves are the same. Another major difference is an increase in price. These new bottles now cost Php24.75 each, compared to the old price of Php19.75. I think only isolated bottles remain at the old price, which include the line of Crystal Sands.
Here is Champagne on my nails. It is a very sheer pink, which is practically almost the color of my nails. It only becomes evident under bright light, which you see here. It's actually pretty nice and is a good office-appropriate polish shade.
Here on the other hand is First Date. It is a pretty bright pastel baby pink, and is a great shade for summer. It leans neon and reminds me of stabilo highlighters that I used in high school.
I…cannot think of a witty end to this post. So let me leave you with an awkward end.

As scheduled, the April 2014 Glamourbox arrived early 4th week of April. What was not expected was just how packed this box is! The first clue is the strange bulging of the actual box. It could only mean good things!
Warning: Photo-intensive post ahead! [You can click on each photo for a bigger size.]
Here is what greets you when you open it (upon removal of the welcome card). Check out the beefiness of this package! It's packed to the brim and more! Also note that this box came with a new green fabric cover instead of the usual peach.
The welcome card tells us that this month the focus is on Perfectly Pristine. Products in this particular box will help us restore our hair and skin to its perfectly pristine state. At the back of course is the (long) list of items included as well as their pricing info.
Let me show you what I got in order of preference. Is it strange that my favorite item in this box is one of the add-ons? Check it out, Valda Pastilles! The sight of this threw me all the way back to the 90s, with me wishing they included the signature tin can. But hey I'm not complaining! I looooove Valda and I suspect this will get consumed too soon. This 20g packet costs Php60 (full size 50g costs Php150).
Next on my favorites list is Avon Skin So Soft Fast Hydration Body Gel Lotion. I have to admit that I squeed when I saw this bright blue bottle, primarily because I read Liz's review and I really wanted to have my own bottle. I'm a lotion fiend and I don't doubt that I would like this one. The scent is fresh too! This full sized 250ml bottle costs Php330.
Third of my favorites is one of the causes of the bulging of this box. This tub of Barenaturals The Mane Event Nourishing Hair Mask has the essential ingredients of oat protein, macadamian nut, and argan oil. The welcome card says that this product promises to help condition, detangle, fight static, and rebuild damaged hair. Sold! I have really frizzy and static-prone hair and it definitely needs all the help it can get! This 100g tub costs Php293 (full size 130g costs Php380).
The next one on my list is Sebamed Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. I have dry scalp which sometimes do result in some flakes, so I would occasionally use anti-dandruff shampoo. I've seen the Sebamed brand around when I shop, and have always been curious about it. Now I can try one of their items out, and it happens to be this really cute sample bottle! See how small it is compared to my palm? Tiny and adorable! This 20ml sample bottle costs Php42.50 (full size 200ml costs Php425).
Next is Venus & Mars Naturals Smooch Lip Detox SPF15. I have already tried this previously from Sampleroom and I pretty much loved it. I am happy to receive a second sample tub of this! It really doesn't say how much product is in this tub. Let us assume that this is around 3g, which puts its cost to around Php62 (full size 10g costs Php205).
This next one is Vanilla & Co. Moisturizing Witch Hazel Beauty Tonic, which actually sounds like a pretty vague description of what it is. I understand this to mean that you can spritz this into any skin part for a moisture boost. Very intriguing, and it doesn't smell bad either. It doesn't really indicate it anywhere but I estimate this to be 50ml, which means it costs Php67 (full size 150ml costs Php199). Side comment: I'm glad I received this instead of the Foot Blush!
The second add-on I'm listing here is three sachets of Aloe Derma Pure Aloe Vera Gel. It's basically a gel to soothe skin irritations like sunburn, minor cuts and wounds, insect bites, and even acne. I have many skin irritations (due to sensitivities!) so this will definitely come in handy. It's just too bad that it's in sachets; I might just decant it to a tub or something. Each sachet has 5g of product; so the three sachets at 15g costs Php61 total (full size 114g costs Php460).
These next four products are the ones I'm not so hyped about. First is a second Barenaturals tub, this time it's Sexy Back Scrub with Sacha Inchi Oil. It's a lulur scrub meant entirely to get rid of bacne. I don't really have much problems with my back so I'm not too excited about this. That and the fact that I still have most of a tub of Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub. This one I expect is full sized, although there seems to be a conflict between the welcome card (130g) and the taped-over label of the tub (170g). However the card says it costs Php290, so I'll go with that. Bonus: It comes with its own spatula!
This next one is Belo Intensive Whitening Bar. I'm really not very big on whitening so this really didn't excite me, to be honest. I might give it a shot just to see how this smells and feels on the skin, and basically just to try out kojic. This is apparently a full sized bar (!?), 65g, and costs Php59.75.
Second to the last is Zen Zest Anti-Mosquito Room Fragrance. The reason that this is near the bottom is not the fact that this is actually my second sample bottle (the first I got from Sampleroom), but because I don't like how it smells. Apparently the combination of citronella, lemongrass, and eucalyptus is too strong for me and I feel that it's overwhelming. I won't feel comfortable spraying it all over my room. I gave this new bottle to my sister-in-law; hopefully she finds the scent acceptable. This is a 50ml bottle, which puts the cost to Php50 (full size 250ml costs Php250).
Finally we have the third add-on: CLEAN Fragrance Shower Fresh and coupon. I've actually changed my mind about fragrance samples – I actually like them now since it allows me to try out fragrances before I buy. However, the scent of this sample isn't really to my liking. I'll probably give this one away too. This tiny 0.88ml sample costs Php59.
My impressions of the Perfectly Pristine Glamourbox: I am actually quite impressed with the sheer amount of products in this box. The variety is commendable, and it still actually ties in with the theme. I definitely love the inclusion of the pastilles, even though it seems out of place overall.
Value review: The total value of this box including the samples is Php1374.25, which is a bit over twice the value of the sub, Php595. The reason for this is that most of the items actually costs under a hundred each. However in this case I would disregard the numbers, as the box feels like it costs more than it actually does! There are a lot of products to try in a wide range of categories, which is what a sampling box should actually be. I'd rate this to be one of the best boxes that Glamourbox has released so far.
The sub is still open, I believe. So if you liked the items I listed here, head on over to glamourbox.ph and snag yourself a box!

One (well, two) of my recent favorites with regards to eyeshadows is my pair of eyeshadow quads from Ellana Minerals (here's the haul post). I got two of the three available quads, both of them are of course neutrals. Today I will review these two quads as well as show you the arm swatches.
Let us start with the Eyebrow/Eyeshadow Quad, with the shades Beloved, Intense, Wish, and Hush. Here is the quad and the respective shade names.
I've been using the shade Intense a lot as my go-to eyebrow powder as that is the only one that matches my hair. It is a very dirty dark brown shade. The other three I've used in various looks as eyeshadow. Wish, in particular, is a very pigmented coppery shade and is great as crease color for neutral looks. I use Beloved, a dusty light brown, as an overall lid wash, and goes well with many colors even outside this quad. Hush, a beige, is the least used because it practically disappears on my skin.
Here are the arm swatches (click the image for a bigger version). The bottom row is swatched over Artdeco Eyeshadow Base. The primer really unlocks the full potential of these eyeshadows!
The second quad I bought is called the Mesmer-eyes Eyeshadow Quad, and has the shades Inspiration, Brilliance, Charisma, and Sensational.
Now here is where it gets a little gnarly. The shade names you see above are assigned by me based purely on the shade descriptors on the Ellana website, so you'll have to take this with a grain of salt. It doesn't help that the back of the quad has a misprint (Wish is listed instead of Inspiration). Brilliance (Ellana: "soft bronze") is a pretty nice, almost metallic brown that can passably be bronze. Sensational (Ellana: "iridescent gold") is actually a peach-leaning beige whose potential really emerges with a primer. Charisma (Ellana: "soft copper pink") is a light metallic pink that turns into a deeper pink with a primer. Inspiration (Ellana: "soft beige") is essentially a very light beige which strangely turns pretty white with a primer.
Here are the arm swatches (click the image for a bigger version). Check out how it practically is a different palette with the use of a primer (again, Artdeco Eyeshadow Base). It is a lot more apparent here compared to the first quad.
Here is a look I've made using the two quads. Intense is definitely used for the brows. I used either Sensational or Beloved for the lid wash, and Wish for the crease.
Pros: affordable; most shades are very pigmented, and go well together; portable; comes with mirror; multitasking; beautiful illustrations on the case
Cons: some shades require a primer; cardboard case
Neutral: requires separate brush/es
Both of these quads are Php350 each, and are available through the Ellana website or at The Ramp in Trinoma and Glorietta 3, Cinderella at SM Megamall, or their showroom at La Fuerza Plaza 2. Ellana is locally-made and cruelty-free.
Becoming Sleek's Summer Essentials
Posted April 15, 2014on:

Whew isn't it super hot recently? This kind of heat can really addle the brain and result to some horrors if one is not careful. In the previous years I never really changed my routine with the season. However this year is so ridiculous that I needed to adjust, otherwise I'm pretty sure my face would have melted off by the end of the week. Let me show you what I am using on my face every morning recently.
These four products are my go-to in the mornings that I go out of the house. The first thing that touches my face after cleansing is the Celeteque Hydration Hydrolized Moisturizing Mist. In short, a facial moisturizer delivered by mist. I couldn't really stand any heavier moisturizers and this is the one my face likes the best. This can has 120 ml and costs Php349. It's quite large, which sadly makes it not portable.
Next one in is the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen (SPF50, PA+++). Before summer started, I've never been consistent with applying sunscreen as it always felt so heavy and sticky. Now though, I can ignore those factors as being protected from harmful UV rays is more imperative especially for maarteng skin like mine. Thankfully, this particular sunscreen seems pretty friendly to sensitive skin and hasn't yet made me break out. This one is 30ml and costs Php460.
Finally, my face base is now exclusively powder. Anything liquid just melts right off the moment I sweat, which is basically anytime I get out of my electric fan's range. Ellana Minerals Loose Foundation (shade: Caramel Latte) strangely enough stays put even if I sweat! I don't understand the mechanics of it, but I'll take it! With the added bonus of minimizing the appearance of my pores, I couldn't really resist using this every single day. This tub has 6 grams of product, and costs Php460.
But wait, there's more! Of course I shouldn't ignore the rest of my body when thinking of harmful UV rays. I also am now more consistent in applying sunblock on my arms and legs, and my recent favorite for that is Celeteque Sun Care Face and Body Sun Defense Cream (SPF50). It doesn't smell too horrible, but definitely it still smells like many body sunblocks out there. A little sacrifice to make sure I get total body protection. I've never tried this on my face. This is a 120ml tube, and costs Php449.
How about you? What's your summer routine?
FOTD: Vikings Day

Last weekend I met with Tellie and Kira for a wonderful lunch at Vikings Megamall. It didn't really start on the best of feet, having had a miscommunication before we even met, but once it started I had a total blast!
Here is what I wore on my face for that day. I wanted to give the Silk Naturals Mineral Eye Colors another shot, now that I have a new eyeshadow base (Artdeco). Here I only used two, Charmed and Thistle.
It turns out that Charmed really does go pretty sheer once blended. It still shows a little bit green here, but it's a lot less sparkly than what the swatch shows.
Here's a sample of shenanigans I fall into when taking selfies.
Products used:
Ellana Minerals Let's Make It Last Liquid Primer
Ellana Minerals Loose Powder Foundation in Caramel Latte
Ever Bilena Blush in Baby Pink
Ellana Minerals Eyeshadow/Eyebrow Quad
Artdeco Eyeshadow Base
Silk Naturals Mineral Eye Colors in Charmed and Thistle
Clinique Extreme Lengthening Mascara
Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Craving Coral

The Melting Horror
Posted April 10, 2014on:
- In: Musings
- 27 Comments
No, you didn't accidentally stumble on a book blog or an internet horror novel. But let me tell you what happened to me recently. As a back story, I have a very small pouch in my normal everyday bag that holds my touch-up items (face powder, lipsticks/balms, perfume). If I didn't have enough time to do my makeup in the morning, I'd throw what I wanted to use for the day in a separate makeup bag so I can do the rest of my face when I get to the office. In an unrelated note, I have very poor memory and have learned to use different cues to help me remember things.
One day, I did the routine as usual, but I forgot to bring out my makeup bag with me from the car. Now I usually have underground parking in the office so it would not be a big deal to forget my makeup in the car. That day, however, I parked above ground in a place with no shade. You can imagine what happened, in this heat we're having recently. I had three of my favorite lipsticks in that bag, and they all came out of the bag badly damaged.
I almost cried when I saw this! My first firsthand experience with melted lipsticks, and it was horrible! I hid them in a box at home for a couple of days because I couldn't bear to see them like that. The next day, I squared my shoulders and examined the extent of the damage. As I expected, they are all quite melted and reformed half in the original tube and half in the cap. These lipsticks are: Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Standout (review), Colour Collection Ultimate Wear Lipstick in Queen Bee (review), and Avon Ultra Color Lipstick in Hibiscus (review).
Bea advised to immediately depot these lipsticks to salvage them. I found a four-level screw-top plastic pots from Daiso Japan (formerly Saizen) and used three levels. It was a very sad and distressing task that I did not do prior research. I just basically scraped out the lipstick from the tube and the cap with a plastic spatula and shoved it into the plastic tubs. Here is how it turned out.
It's not as horrible as I imagined, but it's also not elegant. I just realized that maybe I need to re-melt them so they will go down to the bottom of the tubs and not perched on the side like evil bloody pupae. Unfortunately I do not have a hair dryer, nor am I willing to take a lighter or anything flame near this thing, so it'll have to do. I did do a test run using a lip brush, and applied the Avon lipstick the next day. It seemed to apply as normal; the melting didn't seem to affect the actual product. I hope the same is true for the other two.
Has anything happened like this to you? I'd love to hear your product mishaps/accidents and how you dealt with it!

It's been a while since I received this from the BDJBox Beauty Soiree, but I'd like to show you this interesting polish. This is Revlon Parfumerie, a recently released line from Revlon which claims that it is a scented nail polish. Basically what that means is, once the polish dries on your nails the scent will be released. If you sniff the actual polish, it will just smell like regular nail polish. The bottle is also different than the usual Revlon bottles – it is a squarish bottle with a round cap/brush handle.
The scent/shade I got is Ginger Melon. It is a bright neon pink on the nail.
How does it smell like? To me it reminds me of those hard candies of our childhood, those ones that are really sweet and takes forever to finish. It does not remind me at all of ginger or melon. How long does the scent last? During the first day the scent was really strong and it seemed like I dipped my fingers in crushed candy. On the second to fourth day, the strong scent virtually disappeared, but I could still smell it if I pressed my nails against my nostrils. Fifth day onward it only has a bare whiff of the original scent.
In conclusion, I am really more in love with the color more than the scent. I don't think I am a huge fan of scented polish, but I think it's better than smelling like nail polish, you know? Basta.
Revlon Parfumerie is available or soon to be available at Revlon counters. Revlon is not cruelty-free.
Haul and Swatches: Pixi Cosmetics
Posted April 8, 2014on:
- In: Haul | Swatches
- 4 Comments
Ever since Glamourbox started featuring the brand Pixi on their Boutique, I've always wondered if they were any good. I couldn't really tell just judging from the product shots, and online reviews were pretty inconclusive. What was stopping me was that they seemed a little expensive to just try on a whim. What was pushing me to buy was that I loved the Tinted Brilliance Balm (Magic Tink Tint) they included in the April Glamourbox last year (OMG it's been a year already!) and I honestly wanted to get more of those. I envy Kira's collection!
What finally convinced me to take the plunge is 1. Glamourbox had a pretty tempting offer (get their new Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm free for every 2k purchase of Pixi products) and 2. Iana of The Beauty Bee blogged about her purchase which turned out to be the exact list of things I wanted to get! So here's what I got:
From left to right I got my freebie Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Ripe Raspberry, the Pixi Mesmerizing Mineral Palette in Copper Peach, and of course I got my second Tinted Brilliance Balm this time in the shade Craving Coral. I wanted to also get the third in Iana's list, the Brow Duo, but unfortunately at the time of my order it was sold out. I instead got another Tinted Brilliance Balm to give to a bestie.
Let me show you each of these items. First we have the Pixi Mesmerizing Mineral Palette in Copper Peach. It has six neutral but shimmery shades in the palette, and it comes with its own dual ended sponge applicator. The palette itself is a little quirky, as its hinges open at the short side instead of the long side as in the usual palettes. This costs Php620.
Here's the stuff written on the box. Important to note that this has 5.76 grams of product total.
I've designated numbers for each of the shades as there were no shade names included. It will also make it easier to know which shade I am talking about in any future FOTD I may use this in.
And here are the arm swatches. They are all two swipes each, with the top row having no primer and the bottom row has a swipe of primer (Artdeco Eyeshadow Base) underneath. This is a larger than normal photo so you can click on the photo for a bigger version.
As you can see, shade 1 is barely noticeable on my skin. This will probably end up as some sort of highlighter. Shades 2 and 4 are almost indistinguishable, but in person shade 4 is more peach. Shade 3 is a matte brown that looks a lot darker in the pan but is actually pretty soft. Shade 5 is very coppery red, and shade 6 leans metallic brown. I've used this in my FOTD last weekend, and I am liking this palette so far.
Next we have Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm in Craving Coral. I wanted to have something non-red (most of my recent new lippies are reds) and I thought I'd try a coral shade. It comes in this cute box with some information on the sides. I apologize for the blurriness of the ingredient list. This costs Php790.
The tube is the same one as my first Brilliance Balm, but without the Tinkerbell design. Also the cap seems to be sturdier this time around. It has a band of coral around the twist end. It has 3 grams of product. The shade Craving Coral is tamer than I imagined it to be. Almost peach and not a dramatic coral at all. I love it!
Lastly we have the newly released (here, anyway) Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm, and the shade I received is Ripe Raspberry. The nature of the freebie is that you don't get to choose what you'll receive. To me this is quite exciting, and I am so happy with the shade I received! Ripe raspberry is quite a strong red in the tube, and is quite as strong on the lips. The tube itself is a very appealing hot pink-and-mint green combo. It has 4 grams of product. This costs Php420.
And here are the swatches of the two lip balms. The Ripe Raspberry doesn't look all that red here to be honest. I really like both a lot, although it is the Ripe Raspberry that made it into my bag. I wouldn't mind getting more shades of these!
Here are some photos of me wearing the lip balms. This is me wearing Ripe Raspberry.
And this is me wearing Craving Coral.
Pixi is available at the Glamourbox Boutique, Ava.ph, some select Snoe branches, and Commonthread at Greenbelt 5. Pixi is cruelty-free.

Last weekend I was invited by Aries of Erzullie for my first ever photo shoot. Here is what I did to my face for that shoot.
I wanted to look fresh and simple. I stayed with only a bare hint of color on the lips. I kept the eyes neutral. I really wish I could have gotten my brows cleaned somehow, but it'll have to do.
I got to try my new stuff out! I recently bought a bunch of Ellana products, and also a bit of Pixi cosmetics and my new eye primer from Artdeco!
PS: I also got a haircut! It's not that evident in the photos as my hair blended into my car seat, haha!
Products used:
Ellana Minerals Let's Make It Last Liquid Primer
Ellana Minerals Loose Powder Foundation in Caramel Latte

Spice Girls & Backstreet Boys Going On Tour? — AJ McLean Reveals It's Possible
Will the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys reunite for the ultimate joint 90s tour? Backstreet Boy AJ McLean revealed that the groups have talked about the idea — be still our teenaged beating hearts!
AJ McLean, 37, casually mentioned in an Oct. 6 interview that there's a possibility of a Backstreet Boys/Spice Girls tour. Um, what?! The Backstreet Boys will be back in the studio soon, and everyone knows that new albums are followed by a tour. Could it be that their tour will also include the Spice Girls? See what AJ had to say about it!
AJ told Rolling Stone in a new interview that there's actually some truth to the Backstreet Boys/Spice Girls tour rumors. "The Spice Girls tour has been this idea bouncing around for the past year and a half, "AJ revealed. "It's something we're still talking about." So exciting — this would be the best 90s music revival since 'NSYNC reunited at the 2013 VMAs. They say only 90s kids remember, but let's be real: a super joint tour between the Girls and the Boys would rock the entire world.
In Sept. 2013, Scary Spice/Melanie Brown went on Ellen and confessed that she wants the Spice Girls to go back on tour. "I'd love to," she told Ellen DeGeneres. "I'm gonna make it happen one day. I'm hoping in the next year or two, when everybody's cleared their diary a little bit." Okay, well, it's a few years later now — time to get back on the road and invite the Boys along, Mel B!
O-Town & 98 Degrees Members Join BSB & N'Sync In 'Dead 7'
If you can't wait that long for new material from the Backstreet Boys, check out the Scyfy TV film Dead 7, due in 2016. It features all of our fave members of the Backstreet Boys: AJ, who plays the villain of the film, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter. Swoon!
HollywoodLifers, would you go see a Spice Girls/Backstreet Boys tour? Tell us what you think in the comments!

The Show
The appeal of the anime and other cartoons being served to kids in the afternoon and on Saturday mornings is understandable, but why can't they have series that are just silly fun, instead of having an attitude or an adventure? Even better, how come they can't come up with a show that parents can enjoy along with their kids. I can't see myself ever sitting down to watch that ridiculous "Loonatics Unleashed" with my daughter. But pop a disc of "Animaniacs" into the DVD player, and I'll stare attentively for as long as she can.
Why is it so enjoyable? A lot of the charm lies in the way the show is constructed. Instead of focusing on one or two stories in a 22-minute episode, "Animaniacs" takes an anthology or variety show tact, cramming two or three shorts into a show, along with interstitials and transitions. The main pieces feature the Warner Brothers, Yakko and Wakko, and the Warner Sister, Dot, a trio of animal-like children of unknown origin. Stars of old Warner Brothers cartoons, they were locked in the WB Studio Water Tower for being too zany, and were stuck there until they made an escape. Having been tucked away on a Hollywood studio, their only frame of reference is movies and TV shows, and their only interest is having fun and causing trouble, which makes for plenty of fun adventures.
The Warners' segments are easily the strongest of the various shorts seen on the show, mainly because of how layered they are. A love of musicals is often seen, along with plenty of references to old shows and movies and a general sense of good-natured fun. It's unlikely a child would get what is meant by references to A Midsummer Night's Dream, Perry Como or the many Tex Avery-inspired women, but with plenty of silliness going on and the influence of years of Disney musicals, kids can enjoy the series, while their parents giggle to themselves.
While the Warners' exploits are mostly nonsensical and mindless fun, there's a great deal of educational material included as well, seen in songs like "Yakko's Universe," or "Wakko's America" which are fun ways to learn (even if "Yakko's World" is a bit outdated.) Even the regular shorts have plenty of things for kids to learn, especially when the Warners go back in time to interact with historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln or Albert Einstein. They may not help anyone pass a test in school, but they will introduce these topics.
The Warners are the most famous of the Animaniacs, but Pinky and the Brain are a close second, and they got their start here, before being spun off into their own series. Once you get past those two groups, the quality of the characters drops off a bit. Rita and Runt provide some Broadway influence to the show, with Bernadette Peters providing Rita's voice, while the Goodfeathers, a group of Italian pigeons, are a cute, if repetitive parody of Martin Scorcese's classic film. The show displays its classic influences when cartoon animal violence gets a tribute in the form of Slappy, an old-school squirrel with a taste for explosives, and the slapstick of Mindy and Button recalls old Tom and Jerry cartoons.
In between the main shorts are those quick interstitials that help move the show along. Though they aren't on-screen for very long, they are sometimes funnier than the shorts, as oddball characters like Mr. Skullhead and Dr. Scratchansniff get in and out quickly, cracking their jokes before outliving their welcome. If only the same thing could be said about the Hip Hippos, who are good only for a one-note eurotrash joke, and Chicken Boo, which is a bit of a bizarre concept about a human-sized chicken. After one of two segments with them, you'll fight the urge to hit fastforward when they appear.
The DVDs
The first 25 episodes of "Animaniacs" are collected on five DVDs, which are delivered in a handsome, "Steven Spielberg Presents"-branded package. The discs are housed in a four-panel digipak, with three trays, and four of the discs are overlapped, ala the The Pink Panther collection. The digipak, which has an episode breakdown, comes in a slipcase, that's designed with matte silver foil and embossed, spot glossy coating. It's really a nice-looking set, and more adult-oriented in design than one might expect. The discs have static, anamorphic widescreen main menus, with options to play all episodes, select individual shows, view special features and adjust languages. Language choices include English Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 and Portuguese tracks, along with French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles, as well as closed captioning. Episode selection menus have text lists of shows.
Though it's called Volume 1, the back of the packaging describes it as the first season. That's different than Volume 1 of "Pinky and the Brain", which is referred to as 22 specially chosen episodes. Proceed with caution, if that matters to you.
The Quality
The full-frame transfers on these episodes are surprisingly solid for traditional animation, with less of the black-outline pixelation seen in other cartoons on DVD. The colors seem a bit dull in select spots, but overall, they are quite good. The only real downside as far as the video goes is the amount of obvious dirt and damage seen throughout the set, in the form of specks and scratches. It's not horrendous, but it's not minimal either, and anyone who cares about picture quality is bound to notice it again and again.
While the image may not be top-notch, the sound is excellent, with Warner Brothers providing an impressively remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. Music enhancement and some occasional sound effects are fed to the sides and rear speakers, while the center speaker handles the dialogue and main music chores. The mix is strong and clear, and allows all the gags and songs to be heard cleanly, including the opening titles variants.
The Extras
Despite its status as a cult favorite, "Animaniacs" gets only one extra on this set, a 29-minute featurette titled "Animaniacs Live!" Via satellite, Maurice LaMarche, the voice of the Brain, interviews several of the show's voices and creators, including Rob Paulsen (Yakko), Jess Harnell (Wakko), Tress MacNeille (Dot), Sherri Stoner (Slappy), voice director Andrea Romano and composers Steven and Julie Bernstein, grilling them on the history of the show. It feels a lot like a panel you'd catch at a comic convention, with a very laid-back, friendly tone. Though longer commentaries with each talent would have been more informative, this is a nice treat for fans of the show, and thanks to the personalities of those involved, it's entertaining to boot. There are also six trailers on the final disc.
Annoyingly, each disc lists special feautres on the main menu, only to tell you they are found on another disc. Even disc three, which holds the only extra, says look at the other discs. Bleh.
The Bottom Line
A "Looney Tunes" for a new generation, "Animaniacs" combined surrealism, music, education and a heaping helping of pop-culture references, with a silly, fun sense of humor, to create a series that allowed you to just sit back and enjoy, whether you were an adult or a kid. There hasn't been anything like it since, which makes this DVD set so welcome. The episodes are in very nice shape, with the exception of the need for a clean-up on the dirt, and the sole extra was made for fans of the show, so if you enjoy the series, it's a worthwhile purchase, if a bit disappointing in terms of bonus features and video quality. The uninitiated should try a rental first, as the show's sense of humor can be unusual, but if you like old-school Bugs Bunny, this is a great update on the screwball genre of cartoons.

WATCH: New Madonnatron Video
Christian Eede
, May 3rd, 2017 11:00
Band follow up on last year's appearance on Trashmouth with their debut album
Madonnatron will release their debut album next month, following up on the small selection of tracks released so far on a couple of various artists compilations with Trashmouth and Fluffer.
Trashmouth is the home of their self-titled debut album which they recorded at the label's in-house studios. Above, you can watch a video for the album's title track, which offers a somewhat ritualistic theme while evoking the story of 'the weeping woman' known as La Llorono. Her tale says that she drowned her children in a fit of madness and took her life when she realised what she had done. According to the legend, her ghost haunts the rivers and lakes of Mexico.
'Headless Children' is the first track to be revealed from the album of the same name with the LP set for release on June 30; the track is out on May 19. They play Brighton's The Great Escape before that on May 18 as well as London's The Brewshed on June 1, while they will follow the album's release with an appearance at Green Man which takes place from August 17-20.

US calls up 50,000 reservists
US President George W Bush has authorised the Pentagon to activate up to 50,000 US reserve troops in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attacks.
Mr Bush has also been given final congressional approval by the House of Representatives to "use all necessary and appropriate force" against those behind the hijack attacks on Washington DC and New York.
Earlier, the US Senate gave approval for a $40bn package for anti-terrorism measures and to help rescue and recovery work in New York and Washington.
In a statement the US Defense Department said: "Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has requested and President Bush has approved an order to call up to 50,000 reservists to active duty."
The Pentagon said 13,000 air force reservists would be called up initially along with 10,000 army, about 7,500 marines, 3,000 navy and 2,000 coast guard troops.
Defence officials said that the initial forces to be called up - including fighter jet pilots and crews to protect US cities - would be for "homeland defence."
But they stressed additional moves could be made to mount a war against both those who crashed hijacked airliners into US buildings on Tuesday and countries that support them.
The $40bn package - agreed earlier by White House officials and leaders of Congress - is double the amount originally requested by President Bush.
Half of the fund is expected to go to those directly affected - primarily in New York and the Washington area.
Money has also been earmarked for the costs of the rescue mission, reconstruction and improved security.
Display of unity
But the broad language of the bill will also allow President Bush to use the funds to retaliate against those responsible for the attacks.
The Senate majority leader, Tom Daschle, said there was a unanimous understanding that this week's package was a minimal down payment on what would be required.
"This body will provide whatever resources are needed to respond to this challenge, not just today, not just tomorrow, but for as long as it takes," said Republican Congressman David Obey.
Correspondents say the speed with which details were agreed - a process which usually takes weeks - was clearly intended to show that political differences had been swept aside in the face of the crisis.
Mr Bush had reminded officials of this as he made his request, saying that to pass this bill without delay would "send a powerful signal of unity to our fellow Americans and to the world".
Key suspect
The funds can be used to "counter, investigate or prosecute domestic or international terrorism" and for "supporting national security".
On Thursday, US Secretary of State Colin Powell confirmed for the first time that Islamic militant Osama Bin Laden was a key suspect.
He is widely believed to be sheltering in Afghanistan, controlled primarily by the Taleban.
On Friday, federal authorities made their first arrest in the worldwide investigation into the attacks, said an unnamed government official.
The suspect has not been identified, but is described as a material witness.

Federal Budget 2011 Highlights
Updates and highlights of the 2011 Federal Budget specifically in terms of how it affects small business and individual taxpayers. There were no major changes that affect most small businesses.
Many of the announcements had been made already like the reduction of company tax to 29%.
Personal Tax
There were minimal changes in the personal tax context.
Low income tax offset for minors
From 1 July 2011, low income tax offset will no longer be available to minors to reduce income tax payable on their non-work income, such as dividends and trust distributions. This effectively pegs back the tax free non-work income for a minor to $416. However, low income tax offset is still available for minors to reduce their work income
Medicare levy threshold increases
From the 2010-11 income year, the Medicare levy low income threshold will increase to $31,789 for couples (up from $31,196), and to $18,839 for singles (up from $18,488).
Dependent Spouse tax offset phases out
From 1 July 2011 taxpayers with a dependent spouse born on or after 1 July 1971(i.e. who is less than 40 years old as at 1 July 2011) will no longer be eligible for the dependent spouse tax offset. This measure does not affect dependent spouses with children because they are eligible for Family Tax Benefit Part B rather than the dependent spouse tax offset
Family tax benefit increases
From 1 July 2011, Family tax benefit (FTB) part A will increase by up to $4,208 per year for families with teenagers to keep their teenagers in school or vocational training. Families in receipt of FBT part A will be eligible for an advance of up to 7.5%, up to a maximum of $1,000 for their annual FTB entitlement.
Deductions against government assistance payments to be disallowed
From 1 July 2011 the tax law will be amended to prevent deductions being claimed against all government assistance payments, in response to the High Court decision in FCT v Anstis.
Superannuation contributions
There were no changes to the superannuation contribution caps for the 2011-12 income year.
Minimum pension payment relief phases out
The minimum pension withdrawal relief provided over the past three years will be phased out. The following table shows the relevant percentage factor based on member's age
|Minimum payment % on account balance
|Member Age
|2011/12 income year
|2012/2013 income year
|Under 65 years
|65-74 years
|75-79 years
|80-84 years
|85-89 years
|90-94 years
|95 years or more
Reform of excess contribution regime
From 1 July 2011, individuals who breach the concessional contribution caps by up to $10,000 can request the excess amount to be refunded on a once only basis. Personal marginal tax rates will apply in lieu of the potentially higher excess contributions tax rate, except for when the excess contributions are non-concessional contributions and do not cause a breach of the non-concessional contribution cap.
Small Business Tax Breaks
Reduced corporate tax rate
From 2012-13 income year, incorporated small business entitles to have reduced corporate tax rate of 29%
Enhanced write-offs for depreciable assets
From 2012-13 income year, small business will be entitled to claim an immediate write-off of all assets acquired on or after 1 July 2012 and valued at under $5,000. All other depreciable assets can be allocated to a single depreciation pool and depreciated at a rate of 30%.
Accelerated depreciation for motor vehicles
From 2012-13 income year, small business is entitled to claim an immediate $5,000 write-off of the cost of any motor vehicle purchased on or after 1 July 2012. The remainder of the cost value can be transferred into the general small business depreciation pool.
Removal of entrepreneurs' tax offset
The entrepreneurs' tax offset will be removed from the 2012-13 income year.
Lower PAYG instalments
From 2011-12 income year, Pay As You Go (PAYG) instalments for small business will be set at 4% above the small business taxable income for the previous year, which is half the statutory rate applied in prior years.
Fringe Benefit Tax
Reform of car fringe benefit
For Fringe Benefit Tax statutory rate method, a single rate of 20% applies to new vehicle contracts entered into after 10 May 2011 and will be phased in over four years.

A Pirate's Life is a Side Quest in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. This walkthrough shows how to complete the quest.
Recommended Level: 7
Region: Phokis / Isle of Thisvi
Reward: 1900 XP, Carpenter Lieutennant
- Find and Save the Carpenter's Brother From the Pirates
- Report to the Carpenter
A Pirate's Life Starting Location
Objective: Find and Save the Carpenter's Brother From the Pirates
You might spot Tekton on your way by the Isle of Thisvi, standing on the deck of his beached ship. He wants you to save his brother from the pirates that forced his ship to run aground. Tekton says that he will join your crew if you save him. Return to your ship and follow the waypoint to the aptly named Pirate Island just off the coast of Mount Helikon in Boeotia. Carefully eliminate all the pirates with assassinations and well placed bow shots. Alerting the enemies here can be dangerous, as there is nowhere to run but the sea. Once they are all taken care of, open the prisoner's cage and carry him to the waypoint and safety away from the camp.
Objective: Report to the Carpenter
Alas you were too late to save him. Report your abject failure back to the carpenter. Break it to him gently. Luckily, he will still join your crew. Mission complete.
This concludes the A Pirate's Life Side Quest in Assassin's Creed Odyssey (ACOD). For all other side quests check out the full Assassin's Creed Odyssey Side Quests Walkthrough.


text: 08 July 2011 CERN unveils Open Hardware initiative Image courtesy of CERN CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, has issued version 1.1 of the Open Hardware Licence (OHL), a legal framework to facilitate knowledge exchange across the electronic design community. The world's leading laboratory for particle physics made the announcement four months after it launched the alpha version. The CERN OHL was created to govern the use, copying, modification and distribution of hardware design documentation and the manufacture and distribution of products. Hardware design documentation includes schematic diagrams, designs, circuit or circuit board layouts, mechanical drawings, flow charts and descriptive texts, as well as other explanatory material. Version 1.0 of the CERN OHL was published in March 2011 on the Open Hardware Repository (OHR). It was the creation of electronic designers working in experimental physics laboratories who wanted to enable knowledge exchange across a wide community and in line with the ideals of 'open science'. Javier Serrano, an engineer at CERN's Beams Department and the founder of the OHR said that the drive towards open hardware was largely motivated by 'well intentioned envy' of colleagues who develop Linux device drivers. "They are part of a very large community of designers who share their knowledge and time in order to come up with the best possible operating system," he said. "We felt that there was no intrinsic reason why hardware development should be any different." According to Serrano, the CERN OHL provides a framework for knowledge exchange that reconciles open design principles with traceability with a clear policy for the management of intellectual property. "By sharing designs openly," said Serrano, "CERN expects to improve the quality of designs through peer review and to guarantee their users - including commercial companies - the freedom to study, modify and manufacture them, leading to better hardware and less duplication of efforts." A workshop on Open hardware is scheduled to be held in Grenoble on the 9th October 2011, during the 13th International Conference on Accelerator and Large Experimental Physics Control Systems.

Home Depot: Clean Break
The giant home-improvement retailer is considering shedding its wholesale business. Whether the move will boost the stock is unclear.
Looks like Home Depot may do some remodeling. The Atlanta-based retailer announced February 12 that it is considering a sale, spin-off or initial public offering for its wholesale business, which sells supplies and services to contractors.
Such a move would wipe clean the fingerprints left by former CEO Bob Nardelli. He led the retailer on an $8 billion shopping spree that created the division. Nardelli once hoped the wholesale-supply unit, which sells lumber and other materials to professional builders and furniture to hotels, would make up 20% of revenue by 2010. The division now generates about $12 billion in annual sales, or 12% of the company's revenue. But Nardelli was ousted in January over his plush pay package and the company's mediocre financial performance.
Frank Blake, Home Depot's new boss, has plenty of reasons to bid farewell to Nardelli's creation. Blake is feeling the heat from activist investor Ralph Whitworth. His company, Relational Investors, won a seat on Home Depot's board on February 5 as a peace offering to avoid a proxy battle. Whitworth has called the wholesale division "strategic adventurism" and advocates that the company exist the business soon.
Whitworth may have a point. Selling to building pros has lower operating profit margins than Home Depot's traditional retail operations. For the first nine months of 2006, the wholesale-supply business generated 7% operating margins, while its chain of big-box stores sported 12% margins.
Catering to professionals has distracted Home Depot from its core retail business, says Morningstar analyst Anthony Chukumba. Prime example: At last year's annual meeting, Home Depot executives said the company would slow new-store growth over the next few years to focus on the wholesale-supply unit. A spin-off would put the focus back on Home Depot's more profitable business. "Although there is no assurance a transaction will occur, we view the announcement as a significant shift in strategy," Chukumba says.
Generally, analysts support the spin-off but are unsure of how it will affect the company and its shares. Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst David Manthey favors a spin-off or sale because it would "create a large pure-play distributor." The wholesale unit might fetch as much as $13 billion, estimates Colin McGranahan, an analyst with Sanford Bernstein & Co.
The possible deal has one noteworthy critic: Mad Money's Jim Cramer. Nardelli cobbled together building suppliers to create Home Depot's wholesale division at the height of the housing bubble. The company paid top dollar for its acquisitions. Now, Home Depot may sell at the low point, Cramer says, which is "pathetic corporate America idiocy at its worst."
The dust has yet to settle on Blake's makeover of Home Depot. Regardless of what happens with the wholesale division, the worst of the housing market slowdown is behind us, says A.G. Edwards analyst Brian Postol, and that will cause sales and profits at Home Depot to improve. "As fundamentals begin to show gradual acceleration, we believe investors will start to take notice." The stock (symbol HD) gained 33 cents, or 0.77%, on February 13 to close at $41.76. It trades at 15 times the average analyst earnings estimate of $2.84 per share for the fiscal year that ends January 2008. Postol thinks the stock is worth $46.

Gee, But It's Great To Be Back Home
All the credit goes to Pam for crafting an itinerary that included the best tourist attractions as well as places that appealed to our own unique interests. We walked at least 10 miles a day, including a journey up inside The Statue Of Liberty to her crown, and taking in the view from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. We mingled with the crowd in Times Square each night and listened to a lecture on immigration at Ellis Island.
We passed by The Ed Sullivan Theatre, where The Beatles performed and David Letterman held court; and got a quick view of The Apollo in Harlem. We joined the fans at the John Lennon Imagine memorial in the Strawberry Fields area of Central Park, and browsed the John Varvatos store where CBGB's—the cradle of America's punk scene—used to stand. Broadway retains its status as the most influential and star-studded theatre scene in the country.
As we passed through LaGuardia Airport today, a guard asked if I had any magazines or newspapers in my luggage. It's the first time I've been asked that by airport security, and I answered that I had a ton of them. Luckily, it just involved her taking a quick look through my newfound collection. I'm hoping to post more about those New York publications, as well as some record stores and small eateries, in a future post.

I covert the beautiful target sticky note:
I really wanted a sticky note that looked like that. A check list where you can actually tick things off. I tried and failed to find one I liked in the UK. I eventually gave up but remember seeing a video from Kent from Oz about Printing your own sticky notes.
The video is here:
So I watched it and came up with my own solution for how to do it, it's very similar to Kent's but I did do a few changes so I thought I'd share my version of it.
Firstly I do it in Publisher, it's a program I use for all my inserts. I opened up a blank a4 portrait page. I took a ruler and measured the size of my sticky note. I then inserted a table the exact size as my sticky note. In this case it's 7.5cm x 7.5cm. I put a black border around my table and I centred it to be in the middle of the screen. I ended up with this. very similar to Kent's video.
This is where it changes slightly. I then created a new blank page and created another table exactly the same size and put it in the same position; only this time I didn't put the black border around it. I then drew a design I wanted on my post it note.
I then lined up my sticky note onto the sheet I had printed out and experimented with my printer. If you have an up and over printer like I do then you'd like the paper in your tray with the sticky note face down with the sticky part facing closest to you. Then you print and voila you can a pretty printed sticky to do note without having to pay a fortune shipping them.
Now you can create as many on the page as you want as long as you position them in line with you template that is fine. I know this was a slightly more OCD way to do it – now I know my design is going to be dead centre. I hope you too can also get some beautiful sticky notes even if you don't live near a target!
This is one I tried and ended up getting the sticky note the wrong way round!

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant pastor or seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith. Eventually, he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
Many people who have experienced the heartbreak of divorce wish to remarry.
The Church understands this.
To be faithful to the teachings of Jesus, the Church can't simply assume that everyone who is divorced is free to remarry, and so it has the annulment process to investigate whether a person was validly married in the first place.
Some in our culture don't want to wait for an annulment before they begin dating. They go ahead and date in the expectation that they will receive an annulment.
Is this okay?
A Reader Writes
A reader writes:
Are there any official guidelines for divorced people dating before seeking an annulment?
I know someone who is doing this and claims that they aren't "breaking any rules" by doing so.
To answer this question, I need to distinguish two different situations: Those who are waiting for a documentary process annulment and those who are hoping to obtain a ordinary process annulment.
Documentary Process Annulments
Some people are in need of what is called a "documentary process" annulment. These are cases where it is so clear that a marriage is null that all that has to be done is to present certain documents that will prove nullity.
The most common kind of annulment in this category is when Catholics (who are obliged to observe the Catholic form of marriage) get married outside the Church without a dispensation.
In these cases the nullity of the marriage is so obvious and certain that the Church does not require an extensive investigation, which is why the documentary process exists.
It is possible, even before the annulment is granted, to be certain that one is not married to one's former spouse.
In such cases, unless there is something else affecting the situation, one is entitled to regard oneself as free to marry someone else, and it would not be automatically wrong to investigate prospective marriage partners.
Though not automatically wrong, it still could be prudent, for a variety of reasons, to get the documentary process annulment first.
Ordinary Process Annulments
Most annulment cases are not documentary process ones. They require an extensive, formal investigation, and they are known as "ordinary process" annulments.
In these cases it is not clear prior to investigation that a person is free to marry, which is why the investigation is necessary.
Such marriages are presumed valid, and parties are obliged to regard themselves as still bound to their prior spouse until such time as it is proven that the marriage was null.
So what about dating before the annulment in their case?
Canon Law
"Dating" is a phenomenon that only appears in certain cultures. As a result, one won't find it explicitly mentioned in the Code of Canon Law.
What one will find is a canon that requires the faithful to act in communion with the Church even in their daily activities:
Can. 209 §1.
The Christian faithful, even in their own manner of acting, are always obliged to maintain communion with the Church.
Things that would impair their communion with the Church, such as actions not consistent with Catholic morality, violate this obligation.
Further, the Code provides:
Can. 210
All the Christian faithful must direct their efforts to lead a holy life and to promote the growth of the Church and its continual sanctification, according to their own condition.
One thus cannot get around what moral theology would say on the grounds that one isn't "breaking any rules" that are explicitly found in canon law. Canon law itself requires people to live in a moral manner and strive for holiness.
And even if canon law didn't say this, the fundamental moral obligations to act in accordance with one's state of life and to pursue holiness would remain.
Beyond the question of one's obligations under canon law, there is the even more fundamental question of how dating without an annulment fares in terms of moral theology: Is it moral to be dating someone if you are divorced and don't have an annulment?
Basic Moral Principles
Dating is a romantic activity, and it is simply inappropriate to engage in romantic activity with one person when you must regard yourself as married to another.
To do so is a violation of the Ninth Commandment (not coveting one's neighbor's spouse) that also puts one in danger of temptations to violate the Sixth Commandment (not committing adultery)--either mentally, physically, or both!
Apart from very unusual circumstances, those who need an ordinary process annulment must for practical purposes regard themselves as still married, and so for them dating in this condition has the same moral character as dating someone other than their spouses while still married.
Moral theology would repudiate the actions of a man who knows that he is bound to his wife yet dates another woman, and so it repudiates the actions of a man who must presume that he is bound to his wife yet dates someone else.
Not Loving
In addition, pursuing romance with someone else when you are presumed bound to another is not an act of love.
It's actually cruel.
It not only tempts you to violate your marital obligations, it tempts another person into an immoral situation as well.
It also messes with both of your feelings and–should and annulment not be forthcoming–it will lead you to the very distressing choice between continuing the relationship in violation of your moral obligations or ceasing the relationship and all the pain that will mean.
Putting another person in that kind of risk does not have that person's best interests at heart and so it is not an act of love.
It is an act of selfishness that does not care about the risk you are putting the other person in.
Bottom line: Dating when you are not clearly free to contract marriage is fundamentally disordered on multiple fronts.
It's just plain wrong.

Winning the county tournament is always high atop a team's to-do list, regardless of its other aspirations when they set their preseason goals.
Of course clubs strive for division, conference and state championships, but to be able label oneself as a county champion offers a higher level of esteem; an added pride.
With the Somerset County and Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament finals slated for Saturday and the Union County Tournament final set for Friday night, five local teams will be vying for county crowns, with each having a different view of the big picture.
We'll use the final installment of this year's notebook for four of the five participating coaches to sound off, addressing each of their opponents and offering some keys to victory.

A simple correlation analysis using cross-country data suggests that there is at best a weak relationship between student achievement and education spending. In other words, when comparing per pupil spending and average learning outcomes per country, we find that countries with similar levels of spending per student also show enormous differences in how much their students learn. Figure 1 shows the simple correlation between mean scores in math in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA, and per pupil spending in secondary education for each of the countries that participated in PISA 2012. It is easy to see that students in countries like Qatar and Singapore, which spend similar amounts of dollars per student, achieve vastly different PISA math scores.

Working in developing countries throughout my career, I was always struck by the weak relationship between spending and outcomes. While, it was clear that differences in student learning between countries with similar spending levels, such as Qatar and Singapore, support the leading argument that how money is spent in education is more important than how much, I wondered whether this was only the case for countries that spend above a minimum level—a level that guarantees a minimum standard of basic inputs to ensure adequate learning opportunities for all.
Could in fact countries that spend little on education achieve good learning outcomes by simply spending more efficiently?
With my colleague Chelsea Coffin, I set out to explore the relationship between per pupil spending and learning, particularly in developing countries that spend much lower levels in education than do OECD countries. To do this, we separated countries that have participated in PISA into two groups based on their level of per pupil expenditure: a low-spending group, comprised of countries that spend less than a certain threshold per student; and a high-spending group, which included the countries that spend more than that threshold. Then, we designed separate regressions to estimate the relationship between spending and student learning (as measured by PISA) within these two groups of countries. We wanted to see if, among the low-spending group, more spending is associated with higher outcomes. Additionally, we wanted to estimate the per pupil spending level at which more money no longer can be associated with higher learning outcomes.
Put simply, our underlying hypothesis was that if Haiti only spends $100 per student, common sense suggests that it cannot reach the average learning levels of OECD countries that spend much more per student. However, does the country need to increase spending to the U.S. level ($11,732) or Finland's level ($9,353) in order for their students to be able to learn the basic skills necessary compete in today's global economy?
Our findings, reported in the Comparative Education Review suggest that, when education systems spend above $8,000, the association between student learning and per student spending is no longer statistically significant. Therefore, we find a threshold effect after this level of resources is met, indicating a declining relationship between resources and achievement at high levels of expenditure (consistent with other recent literature). This can be seen in Figure 2, where there is a positive relationship between student learning and per pupil expenditure among the low-spending countries (below $8,000 per student), but a flat relationship among high-spending countries.

Video is proving to be a powerful engagement tool, empowering political campaigns and causes by deepening the engagement of supporters and reaching new ones. Countable's video testimonial tool is being leveraged by campaigns across the political spectrum to capture user generated stories that than in turn can be re-purposed for fundraising, advertising, and GOTV efforts. Campaigns and Elections just published this article highlighting the importance of video as Facebook weighs this type of content more heavily and in turn prioritizes in the newsfeed over other types of content. A short emotive 30 second peer generated video can more readily and effectively reach new audiences and exponentially increase engagement and supporter recruitment efforts.

What Is Slatron on Pool Tables?
bar billiards image by Christopher Hall from Fotolia.com
While real slate is the industry standard for top-of-the-line pool tables, inexpensive tables are often made with a synthetic substance known as slatron. There are several differences between slatron and authentic slate.
Slatron is composed of a layer of plastic that surrounds particle board. It is often considered the most durable of synthetic slates, though its quality is far below that of real slate.
Cost Factor
Pool tables made with slatron can be purchased for less than $1,000, while slate models can range into the thousands.
Pool tables made with slatron have a tendency to warp and any surface spills can hasten this problem. Since slatron's main component is particle board, the pool table bed can decay over time and cause it to warp.
Quality of Playing Surface
Slatron is not as heavy as real slate, so tables made with slatron are not as stable. Lighter pool tables can tip over when you lean on them with sufficient force. The rails of pool tables made with real slate are of higher quality than those made with slatron.
Life of a Pool Table
A good-quality slate pool table can last a lifetime, while one made with slatron will eventually warp and degrade.

Here's a fun look featuring Bill†Mar. Such a fun label from London. Their line consists of lots of funky textures and prints on cute crops and bodycon styles. As I browsed through their site, I was instantly attracted to this cyber floral print. Reminds me of cute little succulents. I'm also a sucker for matching sets, especially printed ones. What I also loved was that this set was sold either separately or together, which I thought was pretty rad. I paired it with these killer boots from La Moda. I'm loving this shade of grey. I feel like this look is a bit futuristic, am I wrong? Nonetheless, I love it overall and really diggin' the combination of grey, black and lavender.

Watch Keanu Reeves get tactical in 'John Wick: Chapter 2' trailer
Keanu Reeves premiered the latest trailer for "John Wick: Chapter 2" for eager fanboys during the New York Comic Con panel for the sequel at Madison Square Garden.
Reeves said: "I really liked putting this suit back on, and getting to do what John Wick gets to do. The action, the passion. And the guy who is fighting to be free."
Plot details for the film are being kept under wraps, but we do know that Wick will travel to Rome in the sequel, and that it will explore the system of hotels that cater to assassins that we saw briefly in the first film.

Bridget Moynahan, Thomas Sadoski, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick and John Leguizamo will reprise their roles from the first film. Newcomers this go-round include Common, Laurence Fishburne, Ruby Rose, and Peter Stormare.
The original R-rated action thriller about a hit man who comes out of retirement to avenge his murdered wife — and beagle — took in $14.1 million in its opening weekend and went on to make $43 million domestically and nearly $80 million worldwide.

I've made the changes to contrib.auth (my first Django patch!). The oldforms are used in contrib.admin and contrib.comments, and I have patched these too. Contrib.admin now uses the newforms in authentication forms. contrib.comments subclasses the oldform AuthenticationForm, and has heavy reliance on validators so I made a copy of AuthenticationForm and put it in comments.py.
I'll update the documentation if the approach seems sound. Shall I also update the newforms branch?

I encountered the following error when using Django's test framework fake web client (django.test.client.Client):
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/gmaps/test/tilecache/an/portal/test_login.py", line 72, in testLoginWorks resp = self.client.post(self.loginurl, { 'username': self.u1, 'password': self.p1 }) File "/home/gmaps/django-test//lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/test/client.py", line 238, in post return self.request(**r) File "/home/gmaps/django-test//lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 82, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/home/gmaps/django-test//lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/views.py", line 23, in login request.session.delete_test_cookie() File "/home/gmaps/django-test//lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/contrib/sessions/backends/base.py", line 69, in delete_test_cookie del self[self.TEST_COOKIE_NAME] File "/home/gmaps/django-test//lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/contrib/sessions/backends/base.py", line 38, in __delitem__ del self._session[key] KeyError: 'testcookie' ----------------------------------------------------------------------
And this was happening because I was just POSTing to the login form with the "username" and "password" values without setting the test cookie. Then sessions.delete_test_cookie() tries to delete the cookie regardless of whether it exists or not (this seems like a bug to me...), and instead of getting an error message or anything, it just crashes. I added a one-liner fix:
--- views.py-old 2008-01-18 00:08:10.000000000 +0000 +++ views.py 2008-01-18 00:08:19.000000000 +0000 @@ -20,7 +20,8 @@ redirect_to = settings.LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL from django.contrib.auth import login login(request, form.get_user()) - request.session.delete_test_cookie() + if request.session.test_cookie_worked(): + request.session.delete_test_cookie() return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_to) else: form = AuthenticationForm(request=request)
The updated patch I will attach contains this tweak and is against a more recent SVN rev so the patch applies cleanly.

I tried another approach for this problem - not to remove oldforms versions, but to add newforms version only. I think it is not necessary to force everybody to port authorization code at once.
Another idea is to port "post data" logins (without redirections, with saving of post data) from oldforms-admin and newforms-admin to auth - so newforms-admin wouldn't need any authorization code. New parameter extra_context (#5298) is necessary for it - newforms-admin needs more context variables.
I am not sure that this patch works fully - I have checked only some forms. (It should be part of bigger series of tickets which is not ready.) I mean my patch mainly as a comment now. (I read about this ticket today on django-developers.)

|Patch needs improvement:
This new patch does not have an import of django.contrib.auth.admin in it, because while using auth multiple calls need to be made to models, auth (init), forms, etc. I never received a design decision from https://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/ba8b115b74d6e502 . I would like to take Petr's patch to Django Devs as well, it is my opinion that as new forms merges into the trunk switches need to be made to all of admin and, in all reality, the switch of Auth would be relatively automatic.
