How Cancer and Pisces Can Get Along
Pisces is water and mutable. Cancer is water and cardinal. These are both creatures of and around the ocean. Symbolically, they are in tune with the Neptunian and Lunar worlds of mystery, the subconscious, the unconscious and the nonmaterial. The changeability of Pisces leans toward an adaptation by Cancer. Cancer's contrasts—home, business, and emotional concerns—can offer Pisces sympathy and focus at the same time. There is much to be optimistic about with this match, because of the essential understanding of their deep inner selves. Their contrasts lie in the mundane and the outer activities of life. Many signs do not have this benefit.
How Cancer and Pisces Can Understand Each Other
Pisces can pretty well understand Cancer. The Fish knows the Crab's sentiments and feelings and can lock into the phasing cycles of their lunar consciousness. Pisces understands most everyone, and their ability to see the Crab's modulations would help the relationship. Cancer, loving and appreciating the Pisces they are attracted to, is most certainly going to exert it organizational, money-wise and practical side on their Fish.
They will view this as total helpfulness and see it as a manifestation of love. Pisces however, able to shift this way and that, disappear into a murky subpart of a reef, and then emerge with a smile on its face a few hours later, will insist on being itself. The challenge around money is a little more fundamental than one might think. Pisces is generous in wonderful ways and fanciful with their spare dollars. They could end up in a poker game on the other side of town and feel tremendous freedom.
Cancer is cautious with the bucks in so many numerous ways. Dropping some cash in "silly excursions" would be viewed by the Crab as more of a misdemeanor; especially if they were not communicating about these things. These two are wired like cousins, but their key plugs and switches end up in different places.
Positive Postulate
Pisces can be both spiritual and happy and blue all in the same hour. This makes them an intriguing partner, especially if there is attraction in the heart of the Cancer. Pisces sweet humble quality will actually listen to the Crab. The Crab does not like to reveal their secrets. Often the secrets are not worth keeping (they aren't crimes or misdemeanors), they are just their secrets. Pisces somehow does not mind sharing secrets, but seemingly doesn't have the desire to discover secrets. What a great combination for the Cancer. This predicts mellow harmony.
Romance Recommendation
What goes on inside the minds and hearts of these two is often more than the average Psychological Sleuth would be ambitious enough to undertake. This still is not so bad for the both of them, as long as they stay in a romantic and sensitive mode, and do not get overly demanding of the other. Romance is where the various human dimensions meet. Romance for these two will work, especially if drugs, alcohol, deep sadness or depression are not a part of the playing field.
Conflict Quotient
Conflict at its worst here could be a miasma of dark emotional murky quicksand. Neither of these two should push so that the other feels trapped or not empowered. Since below conscious activity might be at the core of the conflicts, each should give one another a break and not trap the other with low blow accusations about malice and insensitivity.
Peace Parlay
Life in the end is repetitive and mundane, and so is Romance itself. This factor asks the question: "Can we be bored together over the long term?" As we sometimes say: Boredom can be a refuge. Psychic repair needs to take place periodically for both of these. Especially Pisces will seek out places to be alone and quiet, and maybe, yes, be – bored. Cancer, chatting it up and managing a project, and then discovering themselves on the way to their next meeting is more their style. Cancer will probably keep the two busy, while Pisces gives them a sense of perspective.
Keep Up the Interest Graph
All kinds of interesting things are available to these two. The watery sense of possibility lays open a whole world of interest to the two of them. It would simply lie in what they would choose together.
Seven Year Itchiness
There are some signs that by their nature are more stable in their love interests and family concerns as time goes on. Others are not. 7 year cycles of infidelity would not probably affect the Fishes way of seeing the relationship. They tend to go on a clock that is completely their own. The Cancer would have the stopwatch, and then realize that the Fish just needs to be loved and encouraged in order for them to feel free of any watery demons that might fretfully inhabit their oceanic psyche.
Astrocompatibility Possibility Rating
80% Positive Long Term / 70% Short Term
Pisces and Cancer would be warmly engaged right away, upon meeting. Then, as they disclosed themselves to each other, their complex and sensitive selves would unfold and perhaps make a long term union that could navigate their pathways to greater health and happiness than they could have imagined would have been possible on their own. Cancer's urge to make a prosperous family would benefit Pisces; and Pisces could enhance the atmospherics, ambience and heart of that home.

Are we getting married in 2019
well I have to say that I am a Pisces and my brother in law and my one friend born on the same day as him are Cancers .. To my life they are like cancer .. They do nothing but tear me down, make fun of me . complain anytime they see me smile or have a good time. My brother in law has even hit me to the point of hospitalization required .. and that was over his feeling of losing power .. both of them it all stems from their feelings of entitlement .. It has been a cycle that has gone on every 3 - 6 months for 10 years .. It almost feels like it will only end in death .. if not physically, certainly spiritually, and that sucks .. I know I'm tired of it .. and I cut all ties once and for all .. and this time for good I hope .. However my husband, it's his brother, so what he ruined the wedding, hits you , degrades you, .. then he'll get mad and cut ties, but never can just stay away .. He's an Aquarian .. Oh and I should mention I'm a cusp with Aquarius .. I just wish I could understand how two compatible signs can want nothing but anger and pain towards one another in order to make themselves feel good .. (at least on the Cancer side) ..
Don't know why we don't connect on anything.. My Pisces is mean money hungry selfish insensative I've family more than anything argumentive apposing etc. Why ? Jim a cancer

ok so im a pisces girl and my bestfriends is a pisces boy but we never get along and he's so confusing and so rude i don't understand him at all and we always ague one minute he says he likes me the next minute he doesn't care about me umm help please
lol @Christofers Flow you're so funny! "Swim, swim, swim." LMAOO! i'm 15 and I have aqua in venus [and 12th house] so I'm not in a rush to settle down or don't call every guy my hubbie, like "some" girls my age. lol jk. I have pluto aspects with all my planets, but it's only a Cancer that makes me want to settle down because I know they'll take care of me. Scorpios are a little sneaky, ;D [myself included]. I also have a virgo moon, why do you feel [think] that I feel like this?
My "man" is a cancer, I the pisces. He spends days at a time away from home - no notice - phone off - and then re-emerge without explanation - or desiring to be questioned in any way. He seemingly values his friendships and spending time meeting new ones male/female over our relationship - he never invites me to anywhere he's invited to attend - he never leave his cell phone exposed - won't answer it or let it ring when I'm present - keeps it lock - he doesn't spend money dating me - he doesn't show affection, reach for me or offers much of a conversation anymore. I don't feel love, attended to, honored, respected, or desired anymore by my mate. Has he found another love? Should I demand he leave and dissolve this live-in arrangement? We were once married ten years ago, after five years apart we tried dating - he moved in and we failed miserably. He's move in again this past January. It started off great, but by mid-Feb he began hanging out, then staying gone days at a time. I am so confused - wanting to not smother him, but nervous that too much freedom has created a permanent disconnect.
im a cancer girl and i am in LOVE with this pisces man. we read each others mind so well. when we get close i cant breathe, but there are major differences between us that make me unable to get any farther with him. for one thing our religions are different, and so is our age.

Joi Barua wanted the song "O meri laila" to be carried forward with heroism which was innocent, and its singer Atif Aslam delivered that perfectly, says the composer.
"I think it was very easy working with him (Atif).
He had been travelling for a while, but once he got down to it, it just came together so beautifully.
Even though this was a title track, I wanted this to be carried forward with heroism which was innocent.
"Because the context of love here is timeless, beyond life or death. . . beyond feelings of sadness, cynicism or even mere contentment.
Just to celebrate the fact that love existed, that it could all be love.
To celebrate the fact that one could be completely immersed in it.
That feeling.
That is what Atif delivered perfectly, " Barua told IANS in an email interview.
The song is from the forthcoming film "Laila Majnu".
"(Filmmaker) Imtiaz Ali and his brother Sajid Ali have been cognizant and appreciative of my music for a while now.
We've worked together in the recent past.
They loved my Assamese music.
About three years ago when they were working on the script of 'Laila Majnu', they got me involved in it, " he said.
It came as a surprise to him.
"Considering it was set in contemporary Kashmir, a place I had never experienced, a culture I was not aware of, the story was a bit alien to me.
But it just meant I had to dive deeper into what I didn't understand.
"As Kashmiris are, we people from the northeast India are also far from the central perspective of most things 'Indian'.
I understood the importance of representing a culture and people.
And I think they understood this, " he said.
The Assamese artiste, who had worked in the 2014 Bollywood film "Margarita with a Straw" and Sanjay Suri's "My birthday song" last year, does not frequently compose or sing songs for Hindi movies.
"I wanted to do other things and also wanted my music to find more meaning within and without.
My time in Mumbai, all the work with advertising, movie backgrounds, songs, my own personal music, there was a time I felt that the music I was doing, needed another direction.
"I wanted to break away and explore things which were completely different from the route I had taken so far.
Certain things do come to happen to your life, and you feel like the sky going grey - but only briefly, before new horizons clear up for you.
"I wanted to learn other things, explore other music, other cultures, get back into reading and redefine my core passion again.
And this, in ways explains absence from certain sections, but journeys into others. "
Barua, who also has a band, started off 2016 with the album "Pride".
"It is not only an Assamese album, but involves songs in English like 'Riders of the mist' and soon you will hear music in other languages too.
"The core issue of identity which is the biggest challenge we face culturally, will be a lifelong endeavour of mine.
Somebody has to take forward the lost and sinking narratives.
What better than music as a medium?
I take responsibility for this myself and promise to do what I can.
"Was it worth it?
Yes, absolutely.
It's added dimensions to my life and work, personally.
And I also see a ripple effect on the music community back home.
Suddenly, there are a lot of artistes who are not taking their music for granted, but as a means of social expression too.
"It's like the floodgates are slowly opening.
If artistes are successful in holding up the correct mirror to society, the society changes.
The world becomes a better place. "

Lyttelton Coffee Cup
Takeaway coffee cups cause confusion
The item that causes the most confusion is takeaway coffee cups. Most takeaway coffee cups cannot be recycled and can generally not be composted. Because we are diverting the organics to our worm farm we can accept bioidegradable coffee cups and plates. At the moment some cafes in Lyttelton use biodegradable coffee cups so these can go in the brown organics bin at the market (but not in your green bin at home).
Serviettes and brown paper bags can also go in the brown organics bin at the market. If paper has food reside it is best to put it into the brown organics bin at the market rather than the recycling bin.
To reduce the amount of coffee cups going to landfill remember you can borrow a cup from the coffee cup library or buy a reusable coffee cup! Our Love Lyttelton coffee cups are $15 and available at Lyttelton Farmers Market and the Lyttelton Information Centre.

I had another gorgeous, and much anticipated, delivery this morning. MY new Block of the Month from Fat Quarter Shop.
It's a mystery BOM and although I had no idea what the finished product was going to look like, I loved the fabrics they were using, you can find out about it here......and here are a couple of pictures of my delivery.....this is Block 1
and this is the finishing kit I oredered along with the BOM
I just love these fabrics and am very excited to be making something without an overall finished picture in my mind, very different for me......so after I tidy my studio, I think I might just dive in and make block 1......and I'd better find a folder to keep it all in :)
Have a good weekend everyone.
Well I couldn't wait until I'd tidied and sorted my studio.......I've made the first block, isn't it pretty???

I'm very happy today to have finally put together my Autograph block quilt. I swapped autograph blocks with some quilting friends in the USA and I finally trimmed them all to size and put them together for a throw for my armchair in my studio......now all I have to do is find some backing and quilt it, then I will have a lovely reminder of all my friends over the pond :)
I've also started putting together a fun quilt using a drunkards path block. I got the kit from Patchwork Corner and am slowly putting them together.....I love this block as you can get sooo many different looks depending on which way you twist the blocks, but it is my first time sewing curves and so I'm not rushing it, but I am surprised at how easy the blocks go together :)
Oh and I can happily report that the sun has been shining for the last few hours and the rain seems to have passed - woohoo!!!
Hope you're all having a happy Monday.

Whoops, looks like I clear missed last weeks MMHM post......not sure if it was because it was a Bank Holiday, or if the old grey matter is showing it's age......plus the gorgeous Charley came home last week so we've had lots of fun catching up :)
So back to this week, I know it's only just June and you may not be ready to see this....but today I have been working on some Christmas blocks!!!!
I'm involved with a Christmas block swap with my quilting friends from across the pond, and so we will all have time to finish the quilt, we are making the blocks now and swapping them out soon so we will have time to put the whole quilt together in time for Christmas.
So I'm sorry to shock you with talk of Christmas and pictures of festive fabrics, but that is what's making me happy today :)

NEW DELHI–After clearing the Lok Sabha or lower house of Parliament earlier this week, a bill to toughen India's laws on sexual offenses is being debated in the upper house on Thursday.
The bill, which will amend India's penal code and laws of criminal procedure and evidence, was drafted in response to widespread street protests after the fatal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi in December.
Among the significant provisions of the bill, seen by India Ink, are longer sentences for sex offenders, a broader definition of rape and punishments for other sex crimes like stalking and voyeurism.
Here are some of the bill's crucial changes:
— Women's rights advocates and victims of sexual offenses have long accused a male-dominated police force of refusing to register complaints by women, and even facilitating a monetary settlement or brokering a marriage between victims of rape and the accused.
The bill lays down punishment for police officers who fail to record the initial complaint, known as the first information report, of a woman who alleges she was attacked with acid, assaulted by a man who intended to molest her or "outrage her modesty," stripped naked or raped. Such officers can receive jail terms of six months to two years.
— The bill creates a separate offense to address acid attacks, common in South Asian countries, especially by men who are spurned by women they express an interest in.
Under the bill, those convicted of throwing acid on a woman, causing "permanent or partial damage or deformity," or maiming or disfiguring her, will be punished with prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life and a fine.
With an eye to the rehabilitation of the victim, the bill says the fine should be paid to the woman as compensation.
— The bill defines sexual harassment, which includes "physical contact and advances involving unwelcome and explicit sexual overtures," a demand for sexual favors and showing pornography to a woman who does not want to see it. Those convicted of harassment can receive prison sentences of up to three years.
Making "sexually colored" remarks is also included in the definition of sexual harassment, for which the bill prescribes a prison sentence of up to a year.
— The bill criminalizes the forced stripping of women, or disrobing, in public spaces or in private confines, with a minimum jail term of three years and a maximum of seven. Under the current law, disrobing a woman is not a separate offense.
— One of the more controversial provisions in the bill is the section on voyeurism, which seeks to punish men who watch or photograph women who are conducting a "private act," such as bathing, using the toilet or having sex.
The bill lays down a punishment of three to seven years in prison for those convicted of voyeurism more than once.
Voyeurism is not a separate offense under the current law.
— The bill creates another new, and much-debated, offense: stalking. This provision deals with men who follow a woman and establish contact with her or attempt to do so "to foster personal interaction repeatedly despite a clear indication of disinterest" by the woman.
E-stalking, or monitoring of a woman's activities online, such as browsing or checking of e-mail, has also been made punishable.
A man convicted of stalking once can be sentenced to a term of up to three years, and if convicted again can receive a sentence of up to five years.
— The bill expands the definition of rape to include not just penovaginal intercourse but the insertion of an object or any other body part into a woman's vagina, urethra or anus, and oral sex.
This responds to a longstanding demand of women's rights groups. The issue of rape by different means was highlighted in the Delhi gang-rape case, where an iron rod was inserted into the young woman's body.
Prison sentences for rape can range from seven years to life. The current law allows courts to hand down a sentence of less than seven years for "adequate and special reasons," a provision omitted in the bill.
— The bill raises the age of consent for sex to 18. This means that intercourse with a woman under 18 is statutory rape and courts conducting rape trials cannot consider whether the woman consented to having sex. It also, in effect, criminalizes consensual sex with women under 18, a subject of much controversy.
— The bill does not make marital rape an offense, ignoring a longstanding demand of women's rights advocates.
— The bill takes a tough stand on rape by public servants. Under the current law, when a rape is committed by a police officer or prison staff, those convicted can be punished with sentences ranging from 10 years to life.
The bill clarifies that imprisonment for life means the convict must remain in prison till the end of his natural life.
The bill also allows women to bring a complaint of rape against members of the armed forces.
— When a rape leaves a woman dead or in a "persistent vegetative state," the bill demands a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison and a maximum punishment of death. This is the first time that the death penalty is being prescribed for sexual offenses in India, which, unlike nearly all European nations, retains the death sentence, but uses it only in the "rarest of rare cases."
— The bill increases the minimum punishment for gang rape from 10 years imprisonment to 20 years, and the maximum punishment to life imprisonment.
— The bill provides for life imprisonment or death for repeat offenders convicted of rape and gang rape.
— The bill makes procedural changes to address concerns that women are uncomfortable or intimidated by male police officers, or are treated with insensitivity when they approach police stations to register complaints of sex crimes.
The bill requires that all initial reports involving sexual harassment, disrobing, voyeurism, stalking, rape and gang rape be taken by women officers only.
— In order to ensure speedy trial, the bill requires that rape trials be completed "as far as possible" within two months from the time the police file charges against the accused.

text: Well, I managed to slightly dent the drivers side aluminum door sill plate (the ones that say "model S" on the inside of the door opening). It looks like something that's relatively easy to replace, however depending on cost and labor involved, I may just live with it. In any case, has anyone replaced and/or priced these things out? And if anyone was wondering, I let a plastic shopping bag with a can in it slide off the seat and down onto the plate as I was exiting the vehicle. I really didnt expect there to even be a scuff but here we are.

Playwright Jessie Robles said she drew on the world of New York City's East Village, where she lived for six years, to create the absurdist-tinged new piece, which has two cockroach characters and two human characters.
In a once-filthy apartment, Vincent (played by H. Dan Harkins) is a cockroach who wages war on the neurotic neat-freak newcomer, Elizabeth (played by Breean Julian). Lorna, a female cockroach who meets a terrible fate, is played by Danielle Skraastad.
When Vincent's plan to use Lorna to start a perfect race of cockroaches ends messily, he plots to poison Elizabeth's relationship with a nervous-wreck firefighter, Bill (played by Karl Kenzler).
A fifth actor to be named will play a headless cockroach in Vincent.
"I lived in the East Village and worked with a man in a restaurant who reminded me of a cockroach," playwright Robles, who is also a standup comic, told Playbill On-Line. "I noticed that the East Village cockroaches were different...they would sit in the doorway and stare at you. When you cleaned they just got pissed." The piece was first written as a short story, then a play. Robles envisions it as part of a trilogy about cockroaches. The 45-minute one-act is directed by Jim Iorio.
Designers are Dara Wishingrad (scenic) and Lance Darcy (lighting). Robles, Iorio and Harkins all attended SUNY Oswego together.
Performances play the Bottle Factory Theater, 195 E. 3rd Street, between Avenue A and B, in the East Village.
Tickets are $15. Performances dates and times in the fringe fest are scattered. For information, call (212) 279-4488 or visit www.fringenyc.org.

At the beginning of the 20th century The Eight (Róbert Berény, Dezső Czigány, Béla Czóbel, Károly Kernstok, Ödön Márffy, Dezső Orbán, Bertalan Pór, Lajos Tihanyi) were inspired by French Modern art. Their exhibition in Budapest in 1909 was a turning point in the history of Hungarian art, because the works of The Eight adapted the modern international trends of that time. They drew inspiration from the Fauves - Matisse and Cézanne. Their shows accompanied by cultural events with the participation of such artists and thinkers as Endre Ady, Béla Bartók, Zoltán Kodály, and György Lukács.

About Ariella Talix:
I've chosen to write under a pseudonym in order to protect the dignity of those whom I love. Ariella Talix evolved as my alter-ego when I became inspired to write novels that are erotic in nature. It's great fun to write the books, though I sometimes feel a little bit like the Great Oz hiding behind a curtain.
I am a regular wife and mother who lives in the Midwest. Many of my characters also choose the Midwestern lifestyle over a more exotic or sophisticated locale. I haven't always lived here, having grown up in southern California and living for a while in Europe. But I love it here.
My earliest goal in life was to become a writer, but I was sidetracked in college when I decided I didn't like the courses that were offered, so I became an artist instead- my other great love. For many years I have pursued that career in various ways. Again, I have used that experience in my books because it's fun (and smart) to write about what you know. Artists of all sorts show up in the books. They make for wonderfully colorful people!
What inspires you to write?
I've always loved a good romance story. In the past several years, the trend has shifted to some pretty hot material, and I thought reading it was a lot of fun. Then one night, I had an epiphany that set in motion my own debut novel, Make Believe. The plot changed around a bit from that first brainstorm, but the backbone was there. I just sat down and started writing and writing.
For anyone who's read Make Believe, the two scenes that smacked me in the head and told me to write the book were the scene in the bar and the wedding scene. From those two ideas, I created the rest of the book. The books after that have been a sequel and a spin-off with more coming.
I also love to include pets in the books, so animals are important characters in each story.
And lastly, creativity is something I adore. It floors me to see artistic talent, writing talent, musical, acting, etc. Future books will definitely continue to explore creative people's stories.
Tell us about your writing process.
I am definitely a "pantser" when I write. I may mull things over in my head a lot, but when I sit down at the computer, it's almost like taking dictation. The words sometimes almost surprise me. The most fun of all to me is writing a conversation. It's important to make the dialogue fit the characters, and they are such real people in my head, I can hear them talking. (I hope that doesn't sound too weird!)
I have had to learn, however, that even though something may be well written, it doesn't always advance the plot or belong in the book. So… poof! Entire pages disappear into nothing, and I rewrite a better scene. It stings a tiny bit, but it's worth it, in the long run, to be realistic that not all words belong just because I've written them.
I've been known to set down an outline only when I need to figure out a timeline and people's ages. The rest of the time, I can't be bothered. At first, I'd jot down ideas in a small file, but I'd forget to look at it for ages, and when I'd go back finally and read them, the book had gone in a completely different direction anyway. So now that just seems like extra work.
I tend to write all over the house- usually with the "help" of a dog at my side.
How do you develop your characters?
I don't really know at first except in the vaguest of terms. I like to develop a relationship with the characters the same way a reader would as the story advances. The exception to this would probably be David Drummond in the second book, The Designer. His story just grabbed my heart from the get-go as I imagined him learning about his true background and finally achieving acceptance for his incredible talents.
My characters are definitely noisy in my head when they are helping me out.
Who are your favorite authors?
Oh, so many! L.H. Cosway, Penny Reid, Penelope Ward, Charlotte Stein, Tiffany Reisz, Karen Marie Moning, Christina Lauren, Jodie Ellen Malpas, Anna James Watson. There are several others, but this list represents the authors whose work I find the most reliably entertaining.
What genres do you write?: Contemporary Romance, Erotic Romance, Romantic Humor, Romantic Suspense
What formats are your books in?: eBook, Print

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur was founded in 1882 and play their home games at White Hart Lane. The stadium is in North London and has a capacity of 36236. Tottenham's nickname is 'Spurs' and the team plays in white shirts, navy-blue shorts and white socks. Tottenham are sometimes called 'The Lilywhites' due to the colour of their shirts. The current manager is Mauricio Pochettino, who is the second Argentinian to manage Spurs in the Premier League, the first was Ossie Ardiles. Ardiles managed Spurs in 1993-94 and also made over 200 appearances for the club.
Tottenham are famous for their success in the FA Cup, winning the competition eight times, but their most recent trophy was the League Cup, in 2009. In 1963, they became the first British club to win a European Competition (the European Cup Winners' Cup), and since then have won the UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) twice. Tottenham have always been famous for playing exciting, attacking football. For the last few years, Tottenham have continued that tradition, with Premier League stars such as Dele Alli and Cristian Eriksen, playing some great football and Harry Kane, with over 100 Premier League goals, shooting Spurs to success.
"If you don't win anything, you have had a bad season'' - Bill Nicholson, ex-Tottenham Manager.
Tottenham's ground is in North London, so lots of Spurs fans come from this area and the regions around it. There are many other clubs in London, and Tottenham have strong rivalries with Chelsea and West Ham United, but their closest and strongest rival is North London neighbours, Arsenal.
Tottenham's name comes from the name of a 14th-century man from Northumberland, Sir Harry Hotspur (thanks for the correction MonkeyHeaven), who featured in one of Shakespeare's plays, Henry the Fourth. He was a soldier, and a very fierce fighter and his descendants owned land in the Tottenham Marshes which became Tottenham. So, the team from Tottenham adopted this name and became Tottenham Hotspur, which is shortened to 'Spurs'.
In 2018/19, Tottenham Hotspur finished 4th in the Premier League and reached the Champions League Final. Spurs will be hoping to go one more step further this season. Under manager, the Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs have put together a fantastic team to watch and will be challenging at the top again this season. With players like the England international Harry Kane, French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and Danish international Christian Eriksen, Spurs have some of the most exciting players in the Premier League and they also have steel in midfield with Mousa Sissoko and a strong defence. Can they improve on last season's 4th position? We think they can.
Prediction 2019/20: 3rd
Key player: Harry Kane

"When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places* seeking rest, and finding none it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'" Luke 11:24 (*sometimes translated "arid places")
"…But the rebellious dwell in a dry land." Psalm 68:6
"And in the columns of heaven I beheld fires, which descended without number, but neither on high, nor into the deep. Over these fountains also I perceived a place which had neither the firmament of heaven above it, nor the solid ground underneath it; neither was there water above it; nor anything on wing; but the spot was desolate.
And there I beheld seven stars, like great blazing mountains, and like spirits entreating me. Then the angel said, This place, until the consummation of heaven and earth, will be the prison of the stars, and the host of heaven. The stars which roll over fire are those which transgressed the commandment of God before their time arrived; for they came not in their proper season. Therefore was He offended with them, and bound them, until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year." 1 Enoch 18:13-16
(another version says " And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly founded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no birds, but it was a waste and horrible place.")
I have for a while now been a fan of Round Saturn's Eye and his videos, (and continue to be, finding validity in both his personal testimony and confession of the Gospel), and there is one theme that pops up very frequently in his material, which just recently became a lot more clear to me.
He is constantly mentioning this idea/imagery of the "barren land". He talks about it again and again and again and again, often times when breaking down the embedded symbolism in some commercial or movie or Olympic ceremony, or whatever, whenever some kind of desert-looking, salt-flats type of scenery is being shown. And it's amazing how often this occurs, these shots of very Luciferian and nephilim related themes, constantly being filmed with a backdrop of this barren, desert landscape. And after a while, I was really starting to wonder, what is the deal with this "barren land" stuff, what is that supposed to symbolize?
Well recently when I was reading back through the chapters of 1 Enoch, (in the interest of seeing more of what it has to say regarding flat Earth ideas or "Enochian cosmology" etc.), I was reading that portion in the 18th chapter, where it is talking about when Enoch is being shown the place where the fallen Watchers are to be imprisoned until the Day of Judgement ("until the period of the consummation of their crimes in the secret year…")
Suddenly the light bulb clicked on. I immediately thought of that verse where Jesus casts the evil spirit out of the mute man, and then uses the parable of tying up a strong man in a house, to explain about how demons leave a person, and then "travel through arid places", before coming back to the cleaned "house" (person), this time bringing along seven more spirits more evil than itself.
That verse has always been one of those ones that just made very little sense to me, where eventually you just shrug your shoulders and move on, figuring that well, Jesus obviously knows what he's talking about, so, okay!
I had always been really confused by what "arid places" could mean, or why Jesus would say it like that, if he was describing sort of how a demon would just "fly around in the air" after being cast out. Were demons bound to dry air? Were they somehow pulled towards the desert? Hmmmm. Of course, that's not what any of us who believe in the reality of demonic spirits would realistically think, because we logically we understand that these spirits are bound within a certain dimensional barrier somehow. They don't literally fly through the physical air molecules like a mist, prowling for people to inhabit.
But here again, this "barren land" realization is part of a larger theme I've been exploring lately, involving this broader question of there being "places" in a dimensional sense.
Most of us who believe in some form of spirituality are probably already likely to believe in this already, on some conceptual level at least. I'd say that I more or less always did, but I suppose it is only now that I am beginning to stretch my imagination further, in pondering just how much this dimensional aspect may permeate our reality, our entire universe…
We tend to think of other "dimensions" as being a fairly ethereal thing. At least I'd say I did. But maybe now that I've been taking a much more serious look into things like the concept of the "firmament", or the idea of the stars themselves being both a physical aspect of our Created world, and also, somehow, attached to luminous, angelic beings. The "multidimensional universe"… This concept has taken such a hold of me. My whole comprehension of the distinctions between what we call "physical", and what we call "spirit", seems so much more complex, and yet, so much simpler at the same time now.
In the Book of Enoch, he basically describes being taken up into the heavens, where he talks about walls being built of "crystal stones", and "portals" (basically doorways) and rings and pillars of fire, etc. He sees mountains made of gems and fountains in the deep, etc., and He sees the very throne of God. The "desolate place" where the Watchers and spirits are imprisoned, is described as having no water in it, as well as no water OVER it either. I find that very interesting. It propels this notion that the firmament over our own place of existence does indeed have water OVER it. This actually makes a lot of sense, when we think about the Great Flood and other things, and I have also wondered if the "sea of glass" or "sea of crystal" described in Revelation and elsewhere, doesn't in fact pertain to something going on at the top of firmament…(!?) It's very weird, but also very thrilling too, to start thinking of all these possibilities in a more literal, yet "multi-dimensional" way.
I suppose the reason this would be of any real practical significance for us, at least while we're still on this side of eternity, is when considered in the context of all that is progressing in the World right now, in terms of things like CERN, and the Luciferian agenda, etc. The Bible speaks of a time where the events are so incredible, amazing, and terrifying, that men essentially become paralyzed with fear.
I do believe that part of keeping our Faith in the times ahead, involves taking a deep look at the scriptures and at least being willing to keep an open mind towards a broader cosmology that might be a far cry from the traditional modernistic, dichotomous mentality that mainstream Evangelicalism has held, particularly in the last century or two. We need to be in such a place as to not be surprised or overwhelmed by whatever crazy or mind-blowing things may transpire in the coming times. We should be able to stand firm, and unmoved, even if we WERE to witness things as fantastic and frightening as the spiritual veil being torn, and entities from the dimensional realm of the "barren land" being unleashed upon our own plane of earthly existence for a short time.
I do believe this is what they have been conspiring FOR, all these millennia. It was the Bible prophecies will take place, when it speaks of Apollo, or Abaddon, coming up out the Abyss, out of the "pit", with his hordes. It a very real place, this desolate land…
It's gonna get weird, folks. But we should not be shocked or dismayed by any of it. The scriptures tell us who the victor is, who is the King over heaven and earth, death and hades, over every dimension, every creature, every spirit. We know Who will judge all, when the Books are opened, and the dead are raised, and we look forward to that Day…

New York Fight Clubs
Special | 23m 10s
Jimmy Breslin and other New Yorkers reminisce about the city's once-popular fight clubs where members of rival ethnic groups and neighborhoods regularly clashed in the ring. Most of the sites where those fights were staged were torn down years ago. But the memories endure. A nostalgic look back at a slice of New York City life that has all but disappeared.

Tiny 'flying lollipop' bird now common in British gardens
With its oversized tail, pink markings and tiny spherical body the long-tailed titis sometimes said to resemble a fluffy flying lollipop.
The birds migrate to Britain in October but have become elusive in recent years because of harsh winters which have left them struggling to find food.
But the mild conditions before Christmas led to a surge in populations, and new figures show the tit is now one of the top ten most common birds in UK gardens.
Results from the annual RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch reveal that numbers have risen by 44 per cent since last year making them now as common as robins and chaffinches.
The miniature birds, which weigh less than £1 coin, can be spotted by their pinkish breast markings, pink rings around their eyes and undulating flight pattern.
They are also one of the most sociable birds, so seeing one means there are many more nearby and they are often hear calling to each other with a 'si-si-si-si-si' chirp and will even help feed each other's young if their own chicks die.
Small insect-eating birds like the long-tailed tit are particularly susceptible to snowy and frosty conditions which make their food hard to come by, so warmer winters improve their survival rates.
Dr Daniel Hayhow, RSPB Conservation Scientist, said: "The weather can have varied effects on different groups of birds in terms of behaviour and habitats used.
"The increase in long-tailed tit sightings, along with other smaller garden birds, just goes to show that in the absence of very cold weather these species can survive the winter months in much great numbers.
"The warmer temperatures have made it easier to find food, like insects, which in previous colder winters would have been harder to come by because of frosts and snow."
England and Wales saw the warmest ever winter this year with an average temperature of 44.6F (7C), beating a previous high of 44.2F 6.8C in 1868-69.
Other birds that have benefitted from the clement weather include the goldcrest, Britain's smallest bird, and the coal tit which can be spotted by its distinctive black and white head.
Sightings of goldfinches and greenfinches also rose by more than 20 per cent since last year
The house sparrow remains the most common bird found in gardens, followed by the starling and blue tit.
However despite this boost in numbers for smaller birds, many of the larger species are struggling. Sightings of well-known species such as black birds and song thrushes have experienced another drop.
This decline continues a trend that has seen the number of both species visiting gardens decline by 38 and 89 per cent respectively since the first Birdwatch in 1979.
Sightings of collared doves, jackdaws, magpies, pigeons, crows and wrens were all down from the previous year.
Ben Andrew, RSPB Wildlife Advisor, added: "A lot of our favourite garden birds are struggling and are in desperate need of our help.
"Gardens or outdoor spaces are an invaluable resource for many species – they can provide a safe habitat and enough food and water to survive – which are likely to have a significant effect on their populations."
More than 510,000 people took part in the Big Garden Birdwatch, counting more than eight million birds overall.

The Dallas Safari Club backpedals
The Dallas Safari Club (DSC) apparently is not as concerned about conservation as it is about giving a hunter the thrill of felling an endangered black rhino and hoisting it up on his wall.
According to a Namibian newspaper, the DSC is threatening to withdraw its $350,000 donation to them if the US denies an import license for a yet-to-be-identified black rhino scheduled to be hunted and culled in the name of conservation.
The DSC knew from the get-go that it had to seek the permission of the US Fish and Wildlife Service for importation. Were they so arrogant to think that it was a given?
The USFWS states on its website that they "have provided guidance to the Dallas Safari Club and Dallas Ecological Foundation on specific criteria that must be met for the Service to consider issuing a permit for the importation of a sport-hunted black rhino trophy."
For species protected under the Endangered Species Act, an import permit is issued if it is taken as part of a "well-managed conservation program that enhances the long-term survival of the species."
Perhaps the overwhelming criticism of DSC's plan has forced them to reassess the risk of submitting for a permit and being denied?
A year ago, USFWS did issue a permit for a sport-hunted black rhino trophy taken in 2009 from Namibia. However, the USFWS explicitly states that the issuance of that permit does not guarantee the issuance of future permits. "The review of any future applications will be based on the eligibility of the applicant, biological data of the specific black rhino being hunted, as well as any new information available at the time the application is received," the organization states. With all of those factors in mind, maybe is it not the slam dunk the DSC had assumed it would be.
And this is their tactic: to threaten withdrawal of the donation.
International Fund for Animal Welfare president and CEO Azzedine Downes and I have both spoken passionately against the farce of portraying this hunt as a conservation measure.
IFAW rejects the "killing them to save them" philosophy. Azzedine said in his recent blog that despite the support of special interest hunting groups and some specialists, "it certainly does not represent our view of 'modern wildlife management.'"
"Such thinking is, we believe, anachronistic and neglects to take into consideration what scientists studying animal behavior in the wild have learned over years of research: that single animals are the building blocks of their societies," he says, and has a bevy of his own experts to back him up, from Dr. Rudi van Aarde and Dr. Cynthia Moss to Dr. Jane Goodall.
From an ecological perspective, it makes no difference whether the hunter is motivated by greed, poverty, or an incredibly tasteless and morally repugnant style of interior decorating. The world can't afford more losses of this endangered animal.
This latest tactic by the DSC to pressure USFWS for an import permit signals that it knows it is on the losing end of public sentiment and may even doubt its ability to meet the standards set out in the permit requirements.
IFAW will continue to urge the USFWS to reject the import permit request on the basis of not only science and conservation, but from a sense of ethics and morality.
--Jeff Flocken IFAW Regional Director, North America

You know when people give you the same advice over and over and over again, and you just think to yourself, "I KNOW ALREADY! GEEZ!"? That has always been me, so you're not alone. (And if you honestly listen and implement every bit of advice you're given, you are inhuman and should donate your brain to medical science.)

Too Much, Too Soon
This may be The Queen of Excuses talking, but I think I've done too much too soon with my running. In the back of my mind when I signed up for the Intermediate 10K Training Program, I thought it was a bit ambitious. Given that until I started "training" under that regimen, my longest run in the past 6 months was 2 miles; next thing I know, I have to run 4 miles, then 5 miles, then 4 miles again…!
Well, given that my Wednesday 5-miler was a fail (due to a number of reasons), having only run shy of 4 miles, I figured on Thursday I could just extend the scheduled 4-miler by one mile. Easy peasy!
Er… not…
Within the first half mile, my right hamstring was feeling strained. Then my right hip. Next thing I know, at 2.13 miles, I started to walk. I pretty much walked 70% of the way back home, finishing up at a mere 3.7-ish miles. Even after stretching and getting a good night's rest, my hammy is still quite sensitive. Boo!
So, I'm switching to the Beginner 10K Training Program starting on 6 August. 1.5 miles, 1.5 miles, 2 miles in week one. Much more manageable! The longest run in the program is 10K (6.2 miles) which is on the last week (week 8).
Fail? I think not!
This "Running" Thing
"I'm not a runner; I'm just good at faking it." This has been my mantra, saying, and witty remark when people ask me my most dreaded question: "You're a runner, huh?" Doctors have asked me this when my blood pressure … Continue reading


text: MOVIES How Wikipedia Can Help Track Movie Buzz 3:08 PM PST 11/8/2012 by Seth Abramovitch FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Scientists have found a correlation between activity on the online encyclopedia and a movie's success. Social media such as Facebook and Twitter have proved handy -- if scientifically iffy -- tools for tracking advance movie buzz. Now, a new study out of Hungary finds that Wikipedia could prove equally if not more valuable than those other sites in predicting box-office performance. The study -- undertaken at Budapest University of Technology and Economics and posted this week online -- says that by examining patterns of behavior on the communal encyclopedia, Hollywood execs can predict how a movie will perform up to a month before its release. Examining 312 movies released in 2010, researchers considered a number of factors: page views, number of edits and editors to a film's entr and a third, more mysterious element they call "the collaborative rigor." Graphing that data against the movies' financial performance offered compelling evidence of a direct correlation between Wikipedia "heat" and box-office take -- with accuracy rates between 77 percent and 90 percent. But hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. The study only applies to data retroactively; it doesn't apply the model to films that have yet to hit theaters.

Lucy, meet Ardi.
Ardi, short for Ardipithecus ramidus, is the newest fossil skeleton out of Africa to take its place in the gallery of human origins. At an age of 4.4 million years, it lived well before and was much more primitive than the famous 3.2-million-year-old Lucy, of the species Australopithecus afarensis.
Since finding fragments of the older hominid in 1992, an international team of scientists has been searching for more specimens and on Thursday presented a fairly complete skeleton and their first full analysis. By replacing Lucy as the earliest known skeleton from the human branch of the primate family tree, the scientists said, Ardi opened a window to "the early evolutionary steps that our ancestors took after we diverged from our common ancestor with chimpanzees."
The older hominid was already so different from chimps that it suggested "no modern ape is a realistic proxy for characterizing early hominid evolution," they wrote.
The Ardipithecus specimen, an adult female, probably stood four feet tall and weighed about 120 pounds, almost a foot taller and twice the weight of Lucy. Its brain was no larger than a modern chimp's. It retained an agility for tree-climbing but already walked upright on two legs, a transforming innovation in hominids, though not as efficiently as Lucy's kin.
Ardi's feet had yet to develop the arch-like structure that came later with Lucy and on to humans. The hands were more like those of extinct apes. And its very long arms and short legs resembled the proportions of extinct apes, or even monkeys.
Tim D. White of the University of California, Berkeley, a leader of the team, said in an interview this week that the genus Ardipithecus appeared to resolve many uncertainties about "the initial stage of evolutionary adaptation" after the hominid lineage split from that of the chimpanzees. No fossil trace of the last common ancestor, which lived some time before six million years ago, according to genetic studies, has yet come to light.
The other two significant stages occurred with the rise of Australopithecus, which lived from about four million to one million years ago, and then the emergence of Homo, our own genus, before two million years ago. The ancestral relationship of Ardipithecus to Australopithecus has not been determined, but Lucy's australopithecine kin are generally recognized as the ancestral group from which Homo evolved.
Scientists not involved in the new research hailed its importance, placing the Ardi skeleton on a pedestal alongside notable figures of hominid evolution like Lucy and the 1.6-million-year-old Turkana Boy from Kenya, an almost complete specimen of Homo erectus with anatomy remarkably similar to modern Homo sapiens.
David Pilbeam, a professor of human evolution at Harvard University who had no role in the discovery, said in an e-mail message that the Ardi skeleton represented "a genus plausibly ancestral to Australopithecus" and began "to fill in the temporal and structural 'space' between the apelike common ancestor and Australopithecus."
Andrew Hill, a paleoanthropologist at Yale University who was also not involved in the research, noted that Dr. White had kept "this skeleton in his closet for the last 15 years or so, but I think it has been worth the wait." In some ways the specimen's features are surprising, Dr. Hill added, "but it makes a very satisfactory animal for understanding the changes that have taken place along the human lineage."
The first comprehensive reports describing the skeleton and related findings, the result of 17 years of study, are being published Friday in the journal Science. Eleven papers by 47 authors from 10 countries describe the analysis of more than 110 Ardipithecus specimens from a minimum of 36 different individuals, including Ardi.
The paleoanthropologists wrote in one of the articles that Ardipithecus was "so rife with anatomical surprises that no one could have imagined it without direct fossil evidence."
A bounty of animal and plant material "every seed, every piece of fossil wood, every scrap of bone," Dr. White said was gathered to set the scene of the cooler, more humid woodland habitat in which these hominids had lived.
This was one of the first surprises, said Giday WoldeGabriel, a geologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, because it upset the hypothesis that upright walking had evolved as an adaptation to life on grassy savanna.
The discovery site, on what is now an arid floodplain along the middle stretch of the Awash River in Ethiopia, is 140 miles northeast of Addis Ababa and 45 miles south of Hadar, where Lucy was found in 1974 by Donald Johanson, with whom Dr. White collaborated in analyzing those fossils.
Gen Suwa, a paleoanthropologist now at the University of Tokyo, made the first discovery in 1992: a single upper molar. Yohannes Haile-Selassie, an Ethiopian curator of anthropology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, uncovered the first skeletal bones. A preliminary report on the new species was published in 1994.
But the fossils, which are housed at the anthropology museum in Addis Ababa, were so plentiful, fragmentary and potentially significant that Dr. White held back from further public discussion of the research, even while discoveries of older fossils were being made.
One discovery was of an earlier species of Ardipithecus from elsewhere in Ethiopia. Other finds, perhaps from more than six million years ago and given other species names, were excavated in Chad and Kenya. Their bones indicate that they also walked upright, scientists say, but the fossils are too few to draw any definitive conclusions.
Ardi's skull, Dr. Pilbeam said, appears to be more similar to the older Chad hominid than to younger australopithecines. This indicates that the fossils from Chad and Ethiopia possibly represent species of the Ardipithecus genus, or closely related genera.
From the new research, scientists inferred that Ardi was female, based on its small and lightly built skull and its canine teeth, which are small compared with other individuals at the site.
Dr. Suwa, a specialist in fossil teeth, said the more than 145 teeth collected at the site were of the size and shape and had wear patterns showing that the individuals were omnivorous eaters of plants and nuts, as well as small mammals, but were not as big consumers of fruits as are living chimps and gorillas. Ardi probably fed in trees and on the ground.
Dr. Suwa also noted that males had stubby canine teeth, more like those of modern humans, in contrast to the projecting tusklike upper canines of chimps and gorillas, suggesting that Ardipithecus teeth no longer functioned as weapons or displays in male-male or male-female conflicts. In fact, the male and female upper canines are similar.
This was seen as further evidence that the species had already evolved a distinctive trait of early prehumans. C. Owen Lovejoy, an anatomist at Kent State University and lead author of five of the journal reports, speculated that these hominids had a social system that involved less competition among males and that this suggested the beginning of pair bonding between males and females.
Dr. Pilbeam disputed this conjecture, saying, "This is a restatement of Owen Lovejoy's ideas going back almost three decades, which I found unpersuasive then and still do."
In his articles and an interview, Dr. Lovejoy described the five years he spent analyzing the Ardipithecus pelvis, which appeared to be in transition between a structure originally suited for life in trees and one modified for early upright walking. By contrast, the pelvis of the Lucy species had already evolved nearly all of the adaptations for bipedality.
Asked at a news conference in Washington what Lucy might have said to her new-found "sister," Dr. Lovejoy replied, "She would have challenged her to a race, and Lucy would have won handily."Although the lower pelvis is still primitive, Dr. Lovejoy found, changes in the upper pelvis enabled the species to walk on two legs with a straightened hip, "but probably with less speed and efficiency than humans." A few scientists think this walking evidence to be only circumstantial. The lower part of the pelvis, "still almost entirely apelike," indicates retention of powerful hamstring muscles for climbing.
Dr. White, Berhane Asfaw of the Rift Valley Research Service in Ethiopia and other team members concluded that "despite the genetic similarities of living humans and chimpanzees, the ancestor we last shared probably differed substantially from any extant African ape."
As Dr. Hill of Yale said, "It is always new specimens, particularly those from little known time periods or geographic areas, that provoke the greatest changes in our ideas."
Looking ahead, Dr. White lamented that there were so few sites in Africa known to have fossil deposits six million to seven million years old. "We are getting so close to that common ancestor of hominids and chimps, and we'd love to find an earlier skeleton," he said.

Micropaleontology was "the study of the fossil records at the microscopic level", and a branch of paleontology. A scientist who studied in this field was known as a micropaleontologist.
In the years prior to 2369, Richard Galen wrote several papers on the subject of micropaleontology. Jean-Luc Picard had read Galen's papers on the subject, and noting the timespan since his last paper, assumed that the work had stopped. Picard was incorrect, and later learned that Galen's work had continued, however he was killed before he could reap the rewards of his research. Picard took in upon himself to conclude Galen's research, discovering a long dead ancient humanoid species, responsible for planting the seeds for much of the humanoid life in the galaxy. (TNG: "The Chase")
In 2375, Greta Vanderweg's husband was working as a micropaleontologist on the planet Mora V. (DS9: "Field of Fire")

Lo! ADL Honcho Foxman Oversaw Making of 'Son of God' (Can't Imagine Why)
Posted by: Frank Roman on: 03/12/2014 07:57 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
'Son of God': Jewish Leader Hopes Bible Film Will Be 'Antidote' to 'Passion of the Christ'
Anti-Defamation League director thinks the new movie can undo damage done by Mel Gibson's, which debuted 10 years ago Tuesday
The bible saga "Son of God" will be "the antidote to the poison that 'Passion of the Christ' became," Anti-Defamation League National Director Abraham Foxman told TheWrap Tuesday.
"It's almost a disservice to 'Son of God' to compare the two," he said. Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's pared-down version of the History channel miniseries "The Bible" opens nationwide Friday on roughly 3,000 screens Friday.
It's been 10 years to the day since "Passion of the Christ" debuted, and it's still the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever. But it's remembered as much for the charges of anti-Semitism, excessive violence and prerelease controversy as it is for its $370 million box-office haul.
They got their way--again.
"Gibson bloodied the Jews by portraying them as such villains," said Foxman. He was among the Jewish leaders who a decade ago spoke out bitterly against Gibson's brutal recounting of Christ's crucifixion, saying its depiction of sadistic Pharisees and stereotypical characters fanned the flames of hatred against Jews.
But he has no problem with "Son of God."
"The story of the crucifixion and the way it has been used through the centuries has never been good for the Jews," he said.
"Having said that, 'Son of God' is the most sensitive, caring depiction of the story of Jesus that I have ever seen. The producers have done everything possible to put the events into historical, political and psychological context."
Foxman (photo left) said that he thought "Son of God" could replace "Passion of the Christ" as the go-to movie for films about the life and death of Christ.
"It's not perfect, but it's done with the proper sensitivity and perspective and I would hope that for future generations, 'Son of God' will be the vehicle used to teach that part of history," he said.
Foxman said that his organization met with Downey and Burnett and provided each other with "mutual guidance."
"After 'The Bible' came out, we reached out and talked thr0ugh the issues that could be hurtful or painful," said Foxman. "We didn't agree on everything, but it was clear there was respect on both sides."
The ADL is even sponsoring a dinner honoring Burnett and Downey on May 8.
Foxman said that while it felt funny for him to endorse a film about the crucifixion, "in this context I said yes, absolutely."
The love fest between the "Son of God" producers and the ADL is in stark contrast to the approach Gibson took with the "Passion," which was controversial for months before its release. The director failed to reach out to Jewish leaders when the film was coming together, and Gibson came under blistering fire while he was taking a renegade approach to getting it into theaters.
When no studio stepped up to finance the project — an explicitly brutal retelling of Christ's final 12 hours told in ancient Aramaic and Latin with no stars — Gibson bankrolled the $30 million production budget himself.
He directed and co-wrote "The Passion," which was filmed in Italy and stars Jim Cavaziel as Christ. Fox, which had a deal with Gibson's Icon Productions at the time, passed on distributing the film because of the complaints about its perceived anti-Semitism and excessive violence. So Gibson released it himself on Ash Wednesday, 2004.
The critics focused more on the brutality. Roger Ebert gave it four out of four stars, but called it the most violent film he'd ever seen. Slate's David Edelstein called it a "two-hour snuff film" and "the Jesus Chainsaw Massacre."
But with conservative Christian leaders across the nation urging their flocks to turn out, "The Passion of the Christ" brought in $83 million in its first weekend, despite the criticism and protests at theaters.
The film went on to take in more than $611 million worldwide.

The principle of hemodialysis involves diffusion of solutes across a semipermeable membrane. Hemodialysis utilizes counter current flow, where the dialysate is flowing in the opposite direction to blood flow in the extracorporeal circuit. Counter-current flow maintains the concentration gradient across the membrane at a maximum and increases the efficiency of the dialysis.
Fluid removal (ultrafiltration) is achieved by altering the hydrostatic pressure of the dialysate compartment, causing free water and some dissolved solutes to move across the membrane along a created pressure gradient.
The dialysis solution that is used may be a sterilized solution of mineral ions. Urea and other waste products, potassium, and phosphate diffuse into the dialysis solution. However, concentrations of sodium and chloride are similar to those of normal plasma to prevent loss. Sodium bicarbonate is added in a higher concentration than plasma to correct blood acidity. A small amount of glucose is also commonly used. (Wikipedia)

Jan 11, 2019
For our fifth anniversary, we wanted to do something special, and we maybe went a little over the top.
We hit up Two Bit Circus, where Josh Randall (Blackout) co-ordinates immersive experiences and got ahold of Club 01... and kicked the tires on a "late night" format.
Brent Bushnell and Eric Gradman - the founders of Two Bit Circus are our first guests. Followed by Lauren Ludwig and Monica Miklas of Capital W, birthday boy Josh Randall (no, really, it was his BIRTHDAY and he did this for us), Stashhouse LA's Tommy Honton, and Steve Boyle of Epic Immersive who came down from SF.
Anthony Robinson announces. Chris Porter does the music live. Ian Momii jumped in to run the soundboard at the last minute, and Noah Nelson is your host.
Recorded live (so expect bumps) and listener discretion is advised.

Some of you out there may know I sing with a chamber chorus, Just Voices. But during the summer we take a break, and the open-enrollment Just for the Summer Singers begins rehearsals, with a less challenging repertoire.
This upcoming concert will include the spiritual Too Late, Sinnuh. The song begins with a male soloist, singing "Too late, sinnuh!" with the notes: D4, D4, F4. (For your reference, in musical notation, Middle C is C4. Hmm… Nice coincidence!) For a bass like myself, these are very high notes.
Flashback: When I was a student at Georgia State, I wasn't a music major, but I participated in the University Singers because I consider choral singing to be my creative outlet of choice. Back then I had not achieved my potential as a choral singer… not until a friend of mine in the chorus, Charles Hart, took me aside and helped me out. It just so happened at the time he was taking a vocal pedagogy class, and I was a very happy volunteer guinea pig for him.
Ever since I first began singing in high school I always had trouble once the music required me to sing notes above Middle C. C4 was okay, D4 was iffy, and E4 felt and sounded strained, at best. And then Charles came along and told me how to stand, how to prepare my voice, how to use my body to release a better sound. And before I knew it, I could belt out a fantastic E4.
Flash Foward: This past Tuesday's rehearsal was time to audition for the solo. But remember I had previously trained to sing the E4. F4 is a half-step higher. That half-step makes a big difference once I'm up in that register. I raised my hand to audition anyway, not really sure what would come out. And what came out in my audition was nothing short of amazing. At least, it sure felt that way. I could feel myself glowing by the time I was done.
It turns out Too Late, Sinnuh has two solo parts, and I got the other solo part. But I still walked out of rehearsal that night feeling great for having stretched myself that extra half-step, for taking those lessons from years ago and applying them to stretch myself that much further.
When was the last time you stretched yourself a little further, whether artistically or in your business practice? You can train for that moment for years. But when the moment comes, that moment is a further stretch than you trained for or imagined. And then you come out of it, glowing.

Started in 2001, Last Chance Fishing Adventures was founded by your guide, Kelly Wagner. Kelly has been fishing the South Vancouver Island area most of his life. He knows how to find the fish, and how to make them bite.
Over the years, Last Chance Fishing Adventures has moved to where the fish are. We currently operate out of Oak Bay Marina in the winter season, and have recently moved to Sooke Harbour Marina for the summer and fall months. We have fished Sooke, East Sooke, Race Rocks, Jordan River, Sidney, Oak Bay, Cowichan Bay, Sansum Narrows, Sidney, Porlier Pass, Port Renfrew, Swiftsure Bank, and Browns Bay, just to name a few places.
Your Vancouver Island Fishing Guide
My name is Kelly Wagner, and I am the owner/operator of Last Chance Fishing Adventures. For a single boat tour, when you book, I will be your host and guide.
When we hire more boats for parties of over 5 guests, I only hire other pro guides from the area who know the fish.
Fishing is not only my job, it is also a hobby and a passion. The tackle box is always full of both old classics, and the latest in lures to get you on the fish. If they are around, you will get your fair share of them.
You can give me a call, or drop me an email any time, I'll be happy to take you fishing or sightseeing.

I must start off by saying that I am far from being a MAJOR Halloween decorator type. But now that the little ones are getting bigger, I feel like I need to do a little more..for them. Ok maybe I did enjoy it a little bit too..lol!
I wanted a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to transform my mantel.
First I removed everything off the mantel.
Purchased these $1.00 black frames at Dollar Tree..yep Uno dollar!! I am cheapo what can I say. Looked through a zillion past Halloween photos and printed a few of my favorites (this was the hardest part!). Framed my favorites and placed them on the mantel.
I placed two glittery pumpkins (Target's dollar section..yes I am an addict) on top of my candle sticks. Added a "BOO" banner...from last year's FaBOOLous birthday party for Yaya (too cute not to bring it back out) and TADA!!! I know..not the most gorgeous mantel you have ever seen..but my kiddies love it!
Can you guess which "Little Rascal" they are suppose to be??
Like I said before, I don't decorate too much, but I do like to add a couple touches throughout the house. Don't you just LOVE this Halloween Subway Art?? Well lucky for you..it is a FREE printable by the fabulous Laura of Eye Candy Event Details ..you can download here and checkout her GORGEOUS mantel.
I saved the BEST for last..this gorgeous leaf wreath made by our little guy at school. Sometimes the most simple things are truly what makes your home..a home. Hand made items made with LOVE..how can you go wrong??!
How do you decorate your home? Are you MAJOR Halloween Decorator? Would love to hear and/or see what you did this year.
