Climate Chief Declares: Give up Meat to Save the Planet
People will need to consider turning vegetarian if the world is to conquer climate change, according to a leading authority on global warming.
In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better."
Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Methane is twenty-three times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas.
Lord Stern, the author of the influential 2006 Stern Review on the cost of tackling global warming, said that a successful deal at the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December would lead to soaring costs for meat and other foods that generate large quantities of greenhouse gases.
He predicted that people's attitudes would evolve until meat eating became unacceptable. "I think it's important that people think about what they are doing and that includes what they are eating," he said. "I am sixty-one now and attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed radically since I was a student. People change their notion of what is responsible. They will increasingly ask about the carbon content of their food."
Lord Stern, a former chief economist of the World Bank and now I. G. Patel Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics, warned that British taxpayers would need to contribute about £3 billion a year by 2015 to help poor countries to cope with the inevitable impact of climate change.
He also issued a clear message to President Obama that he must attend the meeting in Copenhagen in person in order for an effective deal to be reached. US leadership, he said, was "desperately needed" to secure a deal.
Stern said that he was deeply concerned that popular opinion had so far failed to grasp the scale of the changes needed to address climate change, or of the importance of the UN meeting in Copenhagen from December 7 to December 18. "I am not sure that people fully understand what we are talking about or the kind of changes that will be necessary," he added.
Up to 20,000 delegates from 192 countries are due to attend the UN conference in the Danish capital. Its aim is to forge a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sufficiently to prevent an increase in global temperatures of more than two degrees centigrade. Any increase above this level is expected to trigger runaway climate change, threatening the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
Lord Stern said that Copenhagen presented a unique opportunity for the world to break free from its catastrophic current trajectory. He said that the world needed to agree to halve global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to twenty-five gigatons a year from the current level of fifty gigatons.
UN figures suggest that meat production is responsible for about 18 percent of global carbon emissions, including the destruction of forest land for cattle ranching and the production of animal feeds such as soy.
Lord Stern, who said that he was not a strict vegetarian himself, was speaking on the eve of an all-parliamentary debate on climate change. His remarks provoked anger from the meat industry.
Jonathan Scurlock, of the National Farmers Union, said: "Going vegetarian is not a worldwide solution. It's not a view shared by the NFU. Farmers in this country are interested in evidence-based policymaking. We don't have a methane-free cow or pig available to us."
On average, a British person eats fifty grams of protein derived from meat each day—the equivalent of a chicken breast or a lamb chop. This is a relatively low level for a wealthy country but between 25 percent and 50 percent higher than the amount recommended by the World Health Organization.
Su Taylor, a spokeswoman for the Vegetarian Society, welcomed Lord Stern's remarks. "What we choose to eat is one of the biggest factors in our personal impact on the environment," she said. "Meat uses up a lot of resources and a vegetarian diet consumes a lot less land and water. One of the best things you can do about climate change is reduce the amount of meat in your diet."
The UN has warned that meat consumption is on course to double by the middle of the century.

Spectrum Instruments Model SC-100 is a battery operated, easy to use instrument that allows and operator to check vibration sensor condition by measuring the sensor's bias voltage. Also, it can provide fixed frequency and amplitude signal to simulate the operation of an IEPE type accelerometer. Power is supplied by one 9V internally mounted alkaline battery. An LED on the front of the instrument is activated when the battery starts to get low. The instrument's working mode (BOV Test / Off / Signal Generator) can be selected by a slide switch mounted on the left side of the instrument. The mode selected is confirmed by an LED on the front panel. When connected to an accelerometer (in situ or on the bench) in the BOV TEST mode, the user can read the measured bias voltage on the screen as well as check the sensor status LED's (Short Circuit / Sensor OK / Open circuit) on the instrument's front panel. In the SIGNAL GENERATOR mode, the instrument produces a fixed frequency sinusoidal signal to simulate a sensors signal. The user can now confirm the integrity of his sensor wiring back to the control room, as well as validate the operation of the users vibration monitor.

BUSINESS Exclusive
Two Tap launches API to make sure the product you want is in stock
Barry Levine@xBarryLevine	 November 20, 2014 10:00 AM

If you hate clicking to buy something after reading the product info — only to find it's out of stock or the wrong size — a San Francisco-based company thinks its new Product Availability API will help change that.
"This is the first time an app developer can integrate with an API that gives access to product availability for hundreds of retailers," Two Tap CEO and cofounder Razvan Roman told VentureBeat.
The company hopes this automated product inventory API, out today, can help make links to out-of-stock products a thing of the past.
Two Tap's vision is that consumers will be able to buy products that are in stock, in the desired size, color, or style within an app or shopping site, without visiting the retailer's site.
Roman said the new Product Availability API does not require any technical integration by retailers, because it uses page-scraping technology to grab and sort the text on a retailer's page in real-time. Of course, this is only useful if the page accurately lists product availability, sizes, and similar specifics.
Two Tap's previous Checkout API, which allows products to be ordered from multiple retailers via one shopping cart, is currently used for about 450 retailers through affiliate manager CJ Affiliate by Conversant (formerly Commission Junction). Three months ago, the Checkout API had half that number of retailers.
When someone actually buys the product, the app developer makes a commission through affiliate relationships with certain retailers, which is why Two Tap is working through CJ Affiliate. Retailers with affiliate relationships are already set up so that developers can make their money.
Those 450 retailers will also now get access to this API — thus giving the company several hundred retailers as a starting base.

While developers will pay Two Tap for each product query through the Product Availability API, the company is today making its universal shopping cart available for free in the hopes of creating a larger ecosystem.
Some large retailers already create their own product availablility API, but Roman told us that Two Tap's is the first generally available one that already has hundreds of participating retailers.
Additionally, some product search sites — such as Consumer Reports — show aggregate product searches and product availability, but he noted these sites "have a limited number of retailers, and retailers have to offer that data."

Q: Not getting form data sent via ajax post request rails I am trying to send my form data which includes some text fields and one image field to controller via ajax post request.
The form data looks like this:

And this is the ajax call i am making
 $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      dataType: "json",
      processData: false,
      data: {'new_post_data': data},
      url: "/posts/newpostcreate",
      success: function(resp, status){
       }
  });

The request is being sent but in the controller I am getting something like
ActionController::Parameters {"object Object"=>nil, "controller"=>"posts", "action"=>"new_post_create"} permitted: false>

I have spent many hours looking for a solution and trying different solutions but still it does not work. I'm not getting what I am missing.

A: Looks like you are using the wrong format and that your 'data' variable is empty (hint given in the Params: "object Object"=>nil). Try passing this:
$.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      dataType: "json",
      data: { new_post_data: "test" },
      url: "/posts/newpostcreate",
      success: function(response){
          console.log(response);
      }
  });

Edit: I realized you have a file attachment in your data. I think your safest bet is to create a FormData object and assign all your data to it.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/FormData/FormData
I am not sure about processData: false. I never used it.

Our big family is getting bigger!
I cannot believe that I'm even saying this! I don't even know where the time went, and our kids are growing up so fast like "yeast in dough". Oh, but the reality is real! That's a span of life! We get older and our kids are growing up older as well.
Meet our new son! Eli is a fiancé to our first-born daughter Elona. He is an amazing, kind and God-fearing young man. He's a hard worker and a business owner of PRODUCT AIR – Heating and Cooling company (so if you reside on the Western side of Washington state area, you can contact him for your heating and cooling needs at [email protected]).
The calligraphy writing on the welcome board was done by Crafty Peach (give her a follow), she's awesome!
My amazing cousin Taya let us use some of her party decorations. She's a creative wedding and party decorator in the Western Washington area.
The backdrop set up as a photography background was done by Elona supplied by Taya.
Dessert and the Food tables were decorated with tutu table skirts with lights.
Chair covers and bows we got it on Amazon.
The Engagement cake was made by me. The bottom layer is Kings Cake (Korolevsky) and the top layer was Honey Chocolate Raspberry Cake. Flower arrangement on the cake was done by Victoriya and Anita.
Hobby Lobby store has so many choices of table decor.
Korovai was just a piece of art! Very tasty as well. Brought by the in-laws.
I only found one-fourth of this table photographed on my camera roll (sadly no one captured more pictures of the rest of the courses).
First, we get together and talk about what kind of food we would love to have at the party. Then I write a menu draft. After the menu is put together we choose who is making what. Then I gave the draft to Victoriya and she wrote the final copy. You can type this out and make it very beautiful looking, but I wasn't planning to share this so we did it by hand. Whatever works as long as it works!
Then I make a second draft and make a daily schedule of who chose to make what and write it out throughout the week. Links are included to the recipes I have on my blog.
Creamy Potatoes (This dish was made by one of our church kitchen ladies, thank you, Tanya).
Plov (This dish was made in the Kasan by one amazing choir member, thank you, Paul. And his wife, who is the kindest hearted person on the planet, was the main helping hand in the kitchen while I was at the engagement ceremony. Thank you so so much Luyda).
Candy water (Dushes 🙂 – I guess that's how my kids named this kind of Soda).
Crepes with Cheese (they were made by one the generous and sweet soul, thank you, Olga).
We start with baking things that are freezer friendly. Each day of the week I've assigned who makes what. After it gets made and stored properly that person gets to cross it out of the list using a sharpie so it doesn't get erased.
This cooking and baking schedule has been practiced in our family for a while. Every time we host a party or have visitors they are very much surprised at how much food we make. I'm humbled to say that it's not that we are talented, but with Gods help who gives us strength and this planned baking/cooking schedule, it does not seem like we even work hard to get this accomplished.
Also, I'm sharing this not to make us look like we are something else or someone special, but to help others in their meal planning and party hosting. It's not an easy thing to do, especially if you don't have as much help as I do having my girls. I do understand that it's not always will be this way. Elona will be moving out of our family so that means we will get to do her share of work. I do and always will treasure all their help!
Download the App for your Android or Apple device called "Evernote".
When you open the app you will have a choice to either "Create a New Notebook" or a "To Do List".
After creating a New Notebook you can have as many notes as you like. Click on the green circle with a white plus sign to create an additional note.
When I create my shopping list I make a separate note for each individual store, so when I go to that store I only see the items I need to get at that certain store.
I hope you find this helpful. Let me know what you think about it.
Beautiful engagement party Valya and lots of food for sure. Great tips for getting cooking and baking done for a big crowd.
Thank you so much for sharing! What a beautiful set up. I love how everything is planned out for the menue. This will help me out a lot on my next party planning. Congratulations on the engagement. May God bless the beautiful couple!
Thank you for kind words Olga! I'm glad you find the party planning schedule helpful!
Dear Valya, I have been reading your blog for a few years but I never commented. You have such a beautiful family , God Bless you! Congratulations on your daughters enagamenet. Thank you so much for your amazing recipes , taking time to take such beautiful photos and most of all sharing these wonderful recipients that we grew up with along with so many useful tips !
I really appreciate you taking your time and look forward to more interesting cooking tips because by the looks of it , you know what you're doing so well ! I also enjoy reading about your family ! Have a wonderful weekend !
God bless them both! What a beautiful couple❤❤ Is he also Russian/Ukrainian?
Yes he is. Thank you so very much!
I love the meal planning idea! Sometimes, when I have to prepare for some big get together, it can be so overwhelming and I don't even know where to begin! Having a plan like yours will help a lot!
I'm glad to hear that my party planing idea will help you in the future with your party planning. Thank you for commenting!
Congratulations! Every blessing to the happy couple.
Thank you dear Valya for sharing the Engagement Menu and all your wonderful recipes.
Such a beautiful set up and decorations. The food looks incredible. I want to eat some of it. You have a great family!
Thank you for the kind words Ilona!
oh wow, such a huge engagement party. Is this what usually people do in your church?
Did you invite most of the church members ? Just want to make sure it was engagement party not a bridal shower ? right ?
Beautiful… so and the last thing, party was at your house or at church ?
Yes, this was an engagement party only siblings, aunts, uncles and a few pastors. It was done at church do to that many people. Our bridal showers are pretty simple.
Lol, no we didn't invite the church members. If we did, then engagement had to be for a thousand of people ????????
Dear Valya, congratulations on the engagement of your beautiful daughter. I have two girls who are now 18 and 20 and just like you I don't know where the time went…. I cannot imagine giving them out (even though I understand that's how it was design by God) I enjoyed reading about the preparation and all the useful tips. I love to host parties, but every time I'm overwhelmed 🙁 this will give me structure, peace of mind and put me at ease. I wish you would resign in CA so I can just hire you to do that when time comes. Blessings to you and your gorgeous daughter in her new beginning. P.S. everything looks absolutely beautiful and very delicious.
Hi Angelina! Thank you for the kind words! I'm super excited to hear that my tips are and will be helpful to others. I really appreciate you stopping by and commenting. Blessings to you and your family!!!

This episode was perfectly fine, but I don't feel that we're getting to a completely vital place right now. Michael telling Eleanor that, in one version of events in the afterlife, she and Chidi fell in love doesn't seem entirely purposeful, though I guess it is meant to show her that she is capable of love, which represents a huge step for her and the potential that she has to be a good person. I like that, after seeing everything, Eleanor came to the conclusion that there was indeed no free will, and that everything that she had done was actually influenced, if only slightly in some cases, by what something else had done first. Michael pouring his iced tea on her was a great way to wake her up, and now they're on to the next hair-brained scheme to be able to save as many souls as possible. Seeing flashes of our human friends back in the good place was fun, though the centaur Tahani was definitely strange. I was talking to friends recently who stopped watching this show after season one, and to me it's still been terrific, but this season hasn't quite matched the first two. Reintroducing both Shawn and Denise at the end of the episode as they built their own illegal portal to Earth was a very welcome step, and I can't wait to see what they try to do to sabotage Michael and the humans, who are far more equipped for their arrival than they could possibly realize.

Culture Club Brings Good Karma, No Chameleon, To Rocksino
Iconoclastic New Wave rockers Culture Club brought their The Life tour to Northfield's Hard Rock Rocksino last night. Known for outlandish kabuki makeup, pirate outfits, and a glam take on the world around him, frontman Boy George (born George O'Dowd) didn't disappoint.
Forming in London in the early 1980s, the Irish O'Dowd gained the attention of the media for his outlandish attire, androgynous looks, and the ability to counter his critics with stinging rebuttals. The band, comprised of a multitude of ethnicities and religious backgrounds dubbed their nascent outfit "Culture Club." Their drummer, Jon Moss, was Jewish. The guitarist, Roy Hay, sported a shock of yellow-blond hair, while their bass player Mikey Craig, was a black Englishman with Caribbean roots.
While the band was fairly controversial for the time, their music was not. An ecelectic mix of British New Wave, reggae, and American R&B, a slight tinge of gospel was tucked in just for good measure. Their 1982 debut album Kissing To Be Clever, gave us "Time (Clock of the Heart)" and "I'll Tumble 4 Ya." They were huge hits and catapaulted the band into the international spotlight. Clearly, there was something more than just a kabuki-faced frontman within this outfit. Their next drop, the massively-successful Colour By Numbers, featured "Church of the Poison Mind," Miss Me Blind" and "Karma Chameleon."
After a few more mildly-successful albums, the band quietly disbanded after some internal struggles within the outfit and George's highly-publicized battle with substance abuse.
It's difficult to estimate Culture Club's impact on the world. Their frenzied rise to the top, highlighted by George's style and unique take on the world and, more importantly, his place in that world, would precipitate the burgeoning LGBTQ Rights movement. A true trendsetter, O'Dowd and his band were (and are) a hugely important contributor towards the acceptance of LGBTQ artists and, moreso, to normal "everyday" people within the public's eye.
The band has recently reunited and, after a several-year hiatus, launched their first full-fledged tour. An album, tentatively scheduled for release in 2016, will finally be released this October. Titled Life, it's a revamped version of an album that they've been working on for a number of years.
Last night's concert, surrounded by his original comrades-in-arms, the singer held court amongst a near-capacity crowd of acolytes, getting their fix of early '80s British pop. While surrounded by a cadre of musicians, twelve members total, punctuated by a bee-bopping harmonica player that came out late in the game, Boy George appeared to be having a great time on the stage. Starting the show with a Bowie cover, a fitting tribute to another British icon who kick started several trends himself, the band lit into a raucous cover of the 1983 hit, "Let's Dance."
Quipping early in the show, George said that he had just seen a Cyndi Lauper/Rod Stewart co-headlining show in New York City the previous night. In a nod to Stewart's talents (or perhaps it was something else? The beauty of his double entendres peppered the evening), George said that, "I want to be Rod Stewart. We all need a little Rod in our lives."
While not as outlandishly-dressed as he was in their halcyon days, George wore a stylish top hat, thick eyeliner and a black waistcoat that matched his tightly-cropped beard. Taking the stage to the cheers of onlookers, the whole band smiled in unison. Their fifteen-song set was littered with Culture Club hits, a few covers, and a sampling of newer tunes that haven't received as much airplay. After offering "Human Zoo," a mid-set track from their forthcoming album, George reminded us that "A new song is a friend that you haven't embraced yet."
The band played all the tunes you'd expect to hear, offering "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" early in the mix, with "Time" right on its heels. Of course, "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me" got a huge reaction from the crowd, as did "Miss Me Blind" and "Church of the Poison Mind," a trifecta of late set tunes.
About midway through the show, a cover of Bread's "Everything I Own" became a long anthem, punctuated by a Caribbean backbeat. It was a breath of fresh air, and a revisitation to a tune that George had covered during the late '80s, after his departure from Culture Club.
After spending almost forty years practicing their craft, Culture Club is one heck of a live band. Their backup players: four female accompanying voices, a second percussionist, rhythm guitarist, sax player, and keyboardist, are phenomenal musicians. George's voice is in fine form and the attire that was so shockingly controversial thirty five years ago is, thankfully, now somewhat quaint.
Just as it should be.
After seeing a bevy of revelers dancing in the aisles, George remarked that, "You have to dance like no one's watching...because they're probably watching us."
It perfectly summed up the night. O'Dowd knows that he holds court over the crowd, and roughly two thousand people proved him right, as they were on their collective feet from the first strains of "Let's Dance" all the way through the closing harmonies of "Karma Chameleon," the show's encore tune.

Kool Kat of the Week: Carmie McDonald's Take on Preserving Georgia's Historic Theatres, Reviving Communities 'One Theatre at a Time' and the Fox Theatre Institute's Second Annual Theatre Revival Tour
Posted on: Apr 30th, 2014 By: Anya99
by Melanie Crew
Carmie McDonald, Community Engagement Manager at the Fox Theatre Institute (FTI), an outreach division of Atlanta's Fabulous FoxTheatre, immerses herself in Georgia's rich and glorious history of magical movie palaces and theatres along with the communities that have stood by them. What's even better is that she gets the opportunity to join the communities the FTI has served while celebrating their successes during their free Second Annual Theatre Revival Tour, coming to a theatre near you, May 1 through May 3, 2014!
The Revival Tour will make stops at The President Theatre in nearby Manchester, Ga. on May 1, followed by a stop at Atlanta's own, The PlazaTheatre, ranked as one of the world's top 20 movie theatres [Men'sJournal, April 2014] on May 2 and lastly, the tour will come to a halt in Athens, Ga., showcasing The Morton Theatre on May 3! Each stop on the tour includes a community festival, helping raise awareness of the importance of historic preservation and showcasing all three restoration project venues funded by their highly competitive FTI grants. Atlanta's own legendary blues chanteuse, Francine Reed, will take the stage and woo the crowds at each stop along the way!
Before jumping head first into her dream job, McDonald hailed from Savannah where she earned graduate degrees in Historic Preservation and Architectural History at Savannah College of Art & Design. She worked her preservation magic with the Historic SavannahFoundation and was the perfect candidate for the Community Engagement Manager at the FTI.
The FTI is the Fox Theatre's way of giving back to the community that rescued it from its near demolition back in the '70s. In an effort to draw the public into the realm of it s glory days while raising awareness of the importance of historic preservation, the Fox Theatre began hosting their Fox Theatre Tours in the spring of 2013 [Herald-Journal, May 2013]. These 60-minute guided tours expose audiences to the behind-the-scenes details and illustrious history of the extravagant and palace-like venue which remains just as magnificent as it did when their doors opened in 1929. And as an added bonus, you'll have the opportunity to meet our very own Kool Kat Scott Hardin, projectionist at the Fox Theatre since 1978 [July 2013; see ATLRetro's Kool Kat feature on Scott Hardin, here].
ATLRetro caught up with Carmie McDonald for a quick interview about the FTI, the importance of historic preservation in Georgia's communities and her love of the Fabulous Fox Theatre, which excitedly celebrates its 85th birthday this year!
Community Engagement Manager for the Fox Theatre Institute (FTI) sounds like such a cool job! Tell our readers how you landed such an envious gig and what's your favorite aspect of the job?
I've been with the Fox Theatre Institute (FTI) since 2008 and not a day goes by that I don't pause to think about what a privilege it is to work here. It is rewarding to be part of an organization that has meant so much to the Atlanta community for 85 years. I love seeing someone experience the Fox Theatre for the first time. You're never too old to be swept away by the magic of this place!
Has being in the historic preservation field always been a dream of yours? Anything interesting you can tell our readers on what drew you to such a fascinating field?
I've always appreciated old buildings and the stories they tell about our past, so historic preservation was a natural fit as a career choice. But, historic preservation is not just a movement about buildings and the past. It is also about the people in the community and the future. I love helping ensure that our historic theatres will be here for future generations to enjoy.
What is the Fox Theatre Institute (FTI) and what does it do for the community? Why do you think it is important to preserve Georgia's theatres?
The Fox Theatre Institute (FTI) is the community engagement division of the Fox Theatre. We provide support to historic theatres throughout the region in the form of preservation and operations assistance. There are more than 260 historic theatres throughout the state and each one is a significant part of the community it serves. Preserving these theaters is an important part of community-wide revitalization.
What can you tell us about the two restoration projects that were completed this year? The President Theatre in nearby Manchester and The Plaza Theatre located right here in Atlanta?
The Fox Theatre Institute provided The President Theatre with funding to complete the restoration of their façade, from the marquee to the top of the tower and spire, both being in disrepair for more than thirty years. Through the support of FTI and other granting organizations, this theatre is being restored to its original Art Deco splendor. FTI also provided grant funding for the restoration of The Plaza Theatre's landmark marquee. The restoration process at The Plaza involved removing rust and repainting the sign to its original colors. In addition, new LED lighting was added to create a more sustainable and eco-friendly marquee.
And what can you tell us about Athens' Morton Theatre which received their grant in 2011 and is also spotlighted on this tour?
The Morton Theatre holds a special place in Athens' history. It was built a s a Vaudeville theatre in 1910 by Pink Morton, a prominent African-American businessman. Since then it has served the community as an anchor on Athens' 'Hot Corner,' the historic African-American business district at the intersection of Hull and Washington streets. FTI provided funding for restoration of the theatre's original wood flooring system in 2011.
How does the FTI choose which theatre receives a grant? Is it a competitive process?
FTI accepts applications from historic theatres that are owned by a public agency or non-profit organization. Applications are reviewed by a panel of arts and preservation professionals. Funding is awarded to theatres that will create significant economic and cultural impact to the communities they serve.
Why do you think it is important to preserve art and culture? What is the goal of the FTI and their desire to, "Revitalize Georgia's communities, one theatre at a time?"
Arts and culture contribute to Georgia's communities by creating jobs and providing tax revenue. They are essential to education because they facilitate critical-thinking and communication skills. Furthermore, arts and culture are integral components of vibrant, creative and livable cities. FTI believes that the revitalization of a historic theatre can provide a focal point for the economic and cultural development of a community.
Tell our readers a little bit about the Second Annual Theatre Revival Tour kicking off on May 1, 2014? What sort of exciting things do you have in store for attendees?
FTI will showcase three of its theatre restoration projects during the Second Annual Theatre Revival Tour. The three-day tour, taking place May 1 – 3, aims to raise awareness for each of the historic venues by embracing local community efforts surrounding the preservation of these theatres. Each destination on the Tour will host a community festival, featuring Atlanta resident and legendary blues songstress, Francine Reed.
Tell us a little bit about FTI's relationship with the celebrated blues chanteuse, Francine Reed and how she was chosen to headline the community festivals attached to the tour.
FTI believes in supporting local talent whenever possible. Whether working with preservation contractors or musicians, FTI strives to partner with people that are connected with their communities. Francine Reed has an amazing voice and a deep connection with the music scene in Atlanta, so selecting her to headline our Theatre Revival Tour was an easy decision!
Anything exciting in the works for future FTI projects? How about anything new happening with the Fox Theatre Tours you'd like to tell our readers?
Forty years ago, the people of Atlanta rallied to save the Fox Theatre from demolition. Since that time, the Fox Theatre has been deeply committed to giving back to the community that saved us. Be on the lookout for some exciting events during this special anniversary year!

Definition For:
POSITIVE...
I have come to see airplanes in dreams and visions as a representation of ministry. The larger the plane, the larger the ministry. The larger the plane, the more members and helpers are needed on board to aid the ministry.
At one time the Lord kept showing each of the GMRN Team as fighter planes flying in formation.
A fighter plane is a weapon of war. It is fast and effective and if you want to find a good comparison for it in scripture, you would use the eagle or the bird of prey as an example. The fighter plane speaks of a minister of intercession and warfare. Of surveying the land on behalf of the Body of Christ and overcoming the enemy in it. To go ahead and scout the area for any attacks.
This speaks of a very aggressive ministry that is more personal in nature and will cripple the Kingdom of darkness! Consider these passages:
Speaking of war: Jeremiah 49:22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.(GMR)
Speaking of watching over God's people: Deuteronomy 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:(GMR)

People strange or foreign to you.
The Lord has separated you from others. You will not be as them for you are called out 'separated' and set apart for His work.
NEGATIVE...
Speaks of the works of the enemy, of deception or of things appearing different to what they really are.
Internal Prophetic:
Psalms 69:8 "I am become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's children." (GMR)
You are feeling an outcast. Alienated from others in your family/church/surroundings.
I have never interpreted a dream or vision where an alligator is seen as a positive picture. In most cases, it is seen as an agent of destruction and theft. It resembles the work of the enemy and if I see an alligator in the spirit in vision, I class it as a power demon (See Demons, for a description of levels of demonic power). The teeth of the animal represent a tearing and a violent attack. Daniel describes a creature with many teeth and this is what he had to say:
Daniel 7:19 "Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;" (GMR)

The aloe was used as a perfume in biblical times. Woman used it to perfume themselves, but it was also used for the embalming of the dead, as in the case of Jesus.
Song of Solomon 4:14&16 "Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: 16 Awake, O north wind; and come, you south; blow upon my garden, [that] the spices of it may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits." (GMR)
Speaking of the love of romance and the intimate relationship the bride has with the groom. Referring to the Lord Jesus and our relationship with Him as His bride.
John 19:39 "And there came also Nicodemus, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound [weight]." (GMR)
Speaks of death to the flesh.
Proverbs 7:17 "I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon." (GMR)
Speaks of seduction of the harlot.
See Also: Altar, Aloes, Oil, Perfume, Frankincense
A place of sacrifice.
Used as a prophetic symbol -
Exodus 20:24 "An altar of earth you shall make to me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come to you, and I will bless you." (GMR)
This speaks of death to the flesh. It also speaks of giving up those things that hinder you in your work. Laying on the altar your sins and iniquity. It also speaks of 'burning your bridges' as Elisha did in burning his cattle and the plow upon the altar.
I often see the altar of God when I enter the throne room in praise and worship. It is golden and I imagine is what was replicated by Moses in the ark of the covenant. At one time I saw upon it a small lamb that had been slaughtered. The Lord took the broken and bleeding lamb from that altar and placed it in my hands. He said very clearly to me, "Take My blood and give it to My people. Go heal My people!"
At other times when I have seen an altar the Lord has said to me, "I need you to sacrifice those things that are important to you, so that I might take you to the next level." I have often been asked to 'sacrifice my Isaac' on the altar of God.
May speak of idol worship and demonic rituals which were also prevalent in that time.
Jeremiah 11:13 For [according to] the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and [according to] the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to [that] shameful thing, [even] altars to burn incense to Baal.(GMR)

If you are the one setting up an ambush, then the picture would be a positive one. It would indicate that you are in control and that the Lord is setting up a plan to thwart the work of the enemy in your life.
Joshua 8:21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.(GMR)
If it is another group setting up an ambush against you, this would indicate that there is deception in the camp and that you must be careful of what lies ahead. Such a dream or vision would be a warning vision to make you aware of the enemy that lies in wait to kill and destroy. The following is good passage that describes how the watchmen should be on the alert for such ambushes:
Jeremiah 51:12 Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD [Yahweh] has both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.(GMR)

If the ancestor you dream of is someone you knew personally and had a good influence in your life, then they would represent something positive concerning yourself. I interpreted a man's dream where he dreamt of his grandmother (now deceased) in which she was telling him that he needed to go out and face his fears. In reality this same relative brought him to the Lord and was a good influence in his life. In his dream, she represented the Holy Spirit, leading him to a place of victory in his life.
If you are dreaming of deceased ancestors whom you knew, 'visiting' you in your dreams, then there is likely some demonic bondage you are still under. The Word is very clear on communicating with the dead and unfortunately many still receive 'spirits' who come in the name of their long lost dead ones.
If you dream of ancestors that you had never met, they could represent things of the past that you are still holding onto and need to let go of. Perhaps you had sin or bad experiences in your past and you cannot let them go. Dreaming of past family could indicate to you that there are sins, hurt or guilt in your past that are still part of your present.
Ancestors could also speak of generational traditions and morals that control you. As you have come to the Lord, perhaps you are struggling to break free of the sinful habits of your old life. Dreaming of interacting with ancestors could mean that you need to move on in your new life with Christ.
If you see in vision, generations past that walked in the power and blessing of the Lord, then this passage applies to that revelation:
Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the LORD [Yahweh] your God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;" (GMR)
The blessing of the parents is passed on to the children! I have seen often how children will carry on the spiritual blessing of their parents.
I knew one person whose father was a minister of the faith, but he died while she was young. Even though she was brought up in an non-Christian home there was still a draw to the Lord that she could not understand. Later in life she was born again and spirit filled in the privacy of her own home. Now with a powerful calling on her life, it is clear to see that the generational blessing and calling that was on her father, is now prevalent in her life also. Blessings can also be carried down the generations! The good news is that while curses are passed to the 3rd and 4th generations, blessings carry to 1000!
It is most likely however that if the Lord reveals past ancestors to you in dream or vision, that the revelation speaks of generational curses. When I minister with a person, particularly if I am counseling them, I will often see a cord or chains that string from them to the number of generations back the curse extends.
I remember one incident of ministry where the person in question was demonized and had demonic experiences from youth. As I prayed, I saw a chain from this person, to his father and then, his grandfather. As I shared this revelation, it turned out that both his father and grandfather had delved into the occult and considered themselves 'medicine men'. Upon breaking this link and resisting the enemy, the person was set free from the demonic manifestations in his life! Here is a supporting scripture:
Exodus 20:5 "You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD [Yahweh] your God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth [generation] of those that hate me;" (GMR)
See Also: Father, Mother, Uncle, Husband, Wife, Siblings
Hebrews 6:19 "Having this hope as an anchor for the soul, both firm and secure, and which enters into the inside of the veil;" (GMR)
When seen in a positive light, an anchor could represent the security you have in the Lord. As in this passage, hope is our anchor! It keeps our eyes set on the goal ahead of us and so we are then secure in our vision and in the Lord.
Hebrews 6:18 That by two unalterable things, in which [it was] impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to hold onto the hope set before us:
19 Having this hope as an anchor for the soul, both firm and secure, and which enters into the inside of the veil;(GMR)
However sometimes when I see an anchor in the spirit, it has a negative connotation. In other words – the anchor is holding us back! An anchor is meant to keep a ship stationary. Now if you look at the ship as a form of ministry, there will be times for rest and 'dropping anchor' but when the Lord wants you to move on to the next phase, you need to hoist that anchor and move on. At such times we release the ministry in the spirit, hoist those sails and move full steam ahead!
Speaking of restrictions being removed: Acts 27:40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed [themselves] to the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.(GMR)
Strong's 32 aggelos- a messenger, an envoy, one who was sent, an angel, a messenger from God.
Psalms 91:11 "For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways." (GMR)
These angels are issued at birth, namely your guardian angel. In personal experience, such angels are larger than life and look very powerful. We often see them dressed in various gear, they often carry swords and wear sashes.
Psalms 148:2 "Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts." (GMR)
This verse speaks of the worship angels, who worship the Lord in the throne room. These angels are present during praise and worship. In personal revelation and experience, such angels usually have wings and sing with the most lovely voices. They often carry instruments such as harps, tambourines, trumpets and various stringed instruments.
Luke 1:30-31 "And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary: for you have found favor with God. And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS." (GMR)
Acts 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept [it].(GMR)
These are a reference to the messenger angel. One who brings messages from the Lord. In personal experience, such angels are plain looking, in flowing robes, often bearing a scroll or ram's horn. The leader of these angels is Gabriel:
Luke 1:19 And the angel answering said to him, I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to show you this good news.(GMR)
Here is a reference to Michael, the leader of the warrior angels.
Revelation 12:7 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought with his angels," (GMR)
In personal experience, such angels carry swords, have eyes of fire and look very foreboding. These types of angels are also set in charge of ministries, cities and countries as territorial angels. Consider the following passage:
Revelation 3:14 And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;(GMR)
2 Corinthians 11:14 "And no wonder; for Satan himself is disguised as an angel of light." (GMR)
This speaks of the enemy who appears as an angel of light – a deception. In personal experience, such angels do not reveal their faces and are very bright. They are accompanied with intense emotion and are very forceful. Such an angel would try to get you to receive from them or open your heart to them. Doing so would open your heart wide to the enemy, giving him license in your life. It is not common for a believer to have experiences with angels unless they are operating in the gift of discerning of spirits.
Check all revelations of angels that you receive with someone who is more mature in Christ and will be able to judge the spirits for you. Also consider the following verse that warns against the worship of angels:
Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,(GMR)

The ant refers to one who is a hard worker.
Proverbs 6:6 "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:" (GMR)
Hard working, positive, building up.
In personal experience we have often seen ants and such insects as spirits of infirmity. Although spirits do not contain any shape or form, these symbols stand as a guide to us as to what the Holy Spirit is saying. Flies are often spoken negatively of in scripture. The connotation of such insects is one of contamination and filth. This can be interpreted as a standard negative interpretation for such insects.
See also: Insect
A fruit common to most people, it has both a negative and positive connotation.
An apple in an internal dream can speak of favor or a gift.
A rotten apple in an internal dream can speak of poison, deception, sin or hidden evil within.
Psalms 17:8 "Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings," (GMR)
The apple in this case speaks of favor and a position of importance. As in we are the apple of God's eye. We are also to keep His teaching as the apple of our eyes (Proverbs 7:2) i.e. To esteem it of great importance.
Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate, and gave also to her husband with her; and he ate." (GMR)
This speaks of temptation and the fruits of the flesh - often referred to as 'the forbidden fruit'.

Strong's definition: 8392 tebah (tay-baw'); perhaps of foreign derivation; a box:
Here in the verses below, an ark is symbolic of salvation and the process we undergo when entering into the Body of Christ through baptism into that Body. It is a picture of the baptism unto death to resurrect in new life.
1 Peter 3:20 "Who previously were disobedient, while once the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was in preparation, in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 Which also is a picture of how baptism now saves us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:" (GMR)
Leviticus 16:2 "And the LORD [Yahweh] said to Moses, Speak to Aaron your brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the veil before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat." (GMR)
The ark speaks of the glory of God and His covenant.
See Also: Baptism, Altar
A member of the human body. A limb.
An arm can speak of your abilities. Your arm is something you use all the time and you would be greatly hindered without it.
In an internal dream, if an arm is causing damage and is associated with a negative emotion, this could speak of those things that hinder or block you in your spiritual life.
Brown-Driver Brigg's definition:
2220 zerowa` or (shortened) zeroa` and (feminine) zerow` ah or zero` ah- an arm, the forearm, a shoulder, strength
a) arm
b) arm (as symbol of strength)
c) forces (political and military)
d) shoulder (of animal sacrificed)
Deuteronomy 9:29 "Yet they [are] your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your mighty power and by your stretched out arm." (GMR)
In this case, the arm of the Lord is seen as a tower of strength and deliverance. In a prophetic dream, an arm would symbolize the protection, deliverance and strength of the Lord.
2 Chronicles 32:8 "With him [is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the LORD [Yahweh] our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah." (GMR)
If an arm is seen in a negative light in a prophetic dream, it would represent fleshly strength. This strength is human and not at all comparable to the strength of God. It would mean that you are trying to do something in your own strength, that God can do better in His!
See also: Back, Body
Dreaming of an army in a positive light could indicate that you have been strengthened. Perhaps you dream of being enlisted in an army. This would mean that you have been going through spiritual training. The army speaks of training, being equipped, a force of strength, unity and protection.
If you dream negatively of an army (i.e. being captured, chased or oppressed), this would indicate that you are captive to desires and works of the flesh that are not of the Lord. It could also indicate an oppression in your life that is controlling you. In another context it could also mean that you are controlling and dominating others to your own will.
Joel 2:11 "And the LORD [Yahweh] shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD [Yahweh] [is] great and very terrible; and who can abide it?" (GMR)
The Body of Christ is known as the army of God. In a positive light, this army is seen as powerful, enabled of the Lord and able to overcome any obstacle. It is God's hand extended into the earth. This image speaks of the Body of Christ as a whole.
Exodus 14:9 "But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon." (GMR)
A dark army, speaks of the forces of Satan – the pharaoh of this world. His mission is one of destruction, fear, theft and strife. Such an army indicates an attack and curse in the life of the believer.
If you were to dream of the Lord's army that was in disarray, this would speak of disunity in the body. To dream of wounded soldiers speaks of those who have been attacked from the enemy in their Christian walk.
See also: Ambush, Battle
When seeing either yourself or another person dressed in armor, this without a doubt refers to the armor of God! We are to gird ourselves with this armor for war. This is a source of protection, defense and offense. It is the suite every believer should have. From personal experience, depending on the grandeur of the armor, indicates the level of ministry and authority that the person in question has.
Armour that is gold could indicate that this person is called to one of the fivefold ministry offices. It is common to see Roman or ancient style armor in vision to indicate the armor of God. Paul speaks of our armor here in:
Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (GMR)
If the armor you see is the armor of man, this would have a negative picture. This would indicate that the person in question is trying to do things in their own flesh. Perhaps they are trying to attain in their ministry or spiritual life using natural means. In which case they are headed for disappointment, because look at what Jesus says about the man who wears the armor he fashioned for himself:
Luke 11:22 "But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils." (GMR)
See also: Arrow, Bow, Sword, Shield
2 Kings 13:17 "…Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD [Yahweh]'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for you shall smite the Syrians in Aphek, till you have consumed [them]." (GMR)
The arrow of the Lord speaks of deliverance and the Lord working on our behalf. I have often seen a fiery arrow in the spirit, which indicates the word of the Lord going forth like lightening and accomplishing the work for which it was sent.
An arrow is a long range weapon. It is also a perfect picture of intercessory warfare, where you would speak forth the word you receive via spiritual revelation from afar and it would hit its mark. A sword speaks of using the logos word of God and would be used in hand to hand combat, but an arrow often finds its mark without the enemy knowing who shot it!
Psalms 144:5 Bow your heavens, O LORD [Yahweh], and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out your arrows, and destroy them.(GMR)
Psalms 11:2 "For, look, the wicked bend [their] bows, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart." (GMR)
The dark arrow in dreams and visions always speaks of the weapons of the enemy. They seek to destroy and cast down the righteous. In the spirit I have often seen negative words and curses spoken over God's people as black arrows that pierce and cause theft, strife, destruction and fear. To back up this revelation by the Word:
Proverbs 25:18 "A man that bears false witness against his neighbor [is] a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow." (GMR)
Psalms 64:3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.(GMR)

If you dream of standing in front of an audience and you are bold and confident, this could indicate a healing dream and the fact that you have risen up. Perhaps you were never confident in such an environment, in which case such a dream would indicate that you had overcome that fear.
If you are 'playing' (singing, acting, etc) to an audience in your dream, this would mean that you are putting on a performance. I interpreted a dream once where the lady in question had an audience waiting, to do a show. Yet before she went on stage she had to find the correct clothing to wear. She kept changing outfit after outfit, but none were suitable. The interpretation was very clear: She was concentrating on externals to try and get others to accept her. She thought that if she could put on a good enough 'show' then she would no be rejected any more..
If you have a vision of standing in front of an audience preaching, then the connotation would be good. Look at:
Acts 15:12 "Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them." (GMR)
The Lord will always arrange the audience to receive the power and truth of His Word!
If you are seeing a person striving in front of an audience putting on a 'show' this would have the same interpretation as the internal dream. It would mean that the person in question is more interested on pleasing the crowds, than on promoting the Lord and the truth of His Word.
Those who are senior to you and have authority over you. They may be represented by your parents, boss, pastor or any other figure who is set over you in an administrative or spiritual position.
If you dream of an authority figure in a positive light then it could indicate that your leadership is being accepted and that you are growing in that area. It could mean that you are attaining to that level of leadership and authority in your spiritual walk. If they are authorities from worldly circles, they could speak of archetypes and mindsets that control your thinking.
Dreaming of being in bondage to an authority figure would mean that you are under some form of oppression or attack. Perhaps you are being controlled by influences not of God and have been brought under the domination of something that is against the Word. It may also indicate that you are trying to dominate and impose your own will on others..
Romans 13:1 "Let every person be subject to higher authorities. For there is no authority except from God: those that exist are ordained by God." (GMR)
The highest authority is naturally the Lord Himself. A figure of authority that you cannot identify in a dream or vision, could speak of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]." (GMR)
When seen in a negative light – these types of authorities typify the enemy and his works of darkness.

Jeremiah 51:20 "You [are] my battle axe [and] weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms;" (GMR)
Seen in a positive light, we as the church are an axe in the hand of the Lord. We are His weapon against the enemy. This represents strength and destruction to the works of Satan.
Matthew 3:10 "And now also the axe is laid at the root of the trees: therefore every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." (GMR)
The axe seen in a negative light speaks of separation and destruction. It separates the good fruit from the bad. When I see an axe bringing a division in the Spirit, I know that the Lord is speaking of bringing a division between those who mean business with God and those who do not.

Ladyada and pt had an old NeXT keyboard with a strong desire to get it running on a modern computer. These keyboards are durable, super clicky, and very satisfying to use! However, they are very old designs, specifically made for NeXT hardware, pre-ADB and pre-USB! That means you can't just plug the keyboard into an ADB or PS/2 port or PS/2 to USB converter (even though it looks similar). In fact, I have no idea what the protocol or pinout is named, so we'll just call it "non-ADB NeXT Keyboard"
There is no existing adapter for sale, and no code out there for getting these working, so we spent a few days and with a little research we got it working perfectly using an Arduino Micro as the go between. Now this lovely black deck works like any other USB keyboard. Sure it weighs more than our Macbook, but its worth it!
This project is for people with a little soldering and Arduino experience - we'll assume you've built some electronics before and have installed & uploaded code to an Arduino. If you haven't, check out many of the tutorials here at learn.adafruit.com for tons of ideas for practice!

Short Review: Go see it, it's fun. Bring the kids, especially your boys if you have them.
Long Review: Honestly, I wasn't exactly excited to see this movie for two reasons. 1: Transformers, and two...when you get this big, to the scale of these giant robots dozens of stories high, it stops being impressive. They get SO big that it's hard to imagine us puny humans in the story. However...the director for Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro, has always done a great job in creating an intriguing story, three dimensional characters, and a sense of space and environment.
I have a love hate relationship with del Toro. I love his Hellboy movies, and enjoy his horror films (The Orphanage, Pan's Labyrinth). But the movie Devil's Backbone is on my list of Movies that make me want to kill myself, because it is so depressing. And yet, I was interested in the movie the entire time.
Given all this, and the fact that reviews for Pacific Rim had been very positive, even from the harshest critics, I finally decided to see it...by myself...at the mall...in Eau Claire. (Just moved, I miss Duluth :(
But (some grammar nazi just had a fit for starting a sentence like that, AND for having a parenthesis so early in a sentence), before we get to the actual movie, let me first present my feelings of something that has been growing for too long that I need to vent about. Commercials and Previews.
Now, it's been said, and I've said it myself, that previews are the best part of seeing a movie in the theaters. That's a bit harsh...yet true. It's a bit like noticing very attractive woman walking towards you on the sidewalk or a sports car. It LOOKS amazing...but once you actually know her (the movie) in a deeper way...turns out she's just another flashy, excited, pretentious, self absorbed...movie...car that doesn't have a lot of depth. Ok I'm done.
However, before we even get the previews...have to watch COMMERCIALS. Why? I just paid you 12 dollars to watch a movie without interruption, I shouldn't have to watch commercials. This isn't TV. But then we finally get to Previews. And then MORE previews...and then more still. TWENTY MINUTES LATER I'm finally watching the movie. Being late to a movie in the theater is no long a huge problem...it's probably the best way to see it in the theater now.
What were we talking about? Robots...monsters...oh yeah. Pacific Rim. I first thought this was just a market response to the success of Transformers and a throwback to Godzilla. But no, del Toro's Pacific Rim is very much it's own movie and franchise. A very new take on why monsters are coming to Earth. (kinda of...?, I can't talk about it without giving it away though)
Huge robots (well, they're not exactly robots, but enormous suits driven by two pilots) punching giant monsters in the face. This is enough to put some people in the seats. But Pacific Rim offers more than just that. A story that holds together and makes sense and characters with depth but without getting too cheesy and over the top, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.
It would be a mistake to compare Pacific Rim to Transformers...but let's do it anyway since that's the first thing that came to mind.
Michael Bay, directory for Transformers, is known for his love of the American Military. You can see this in almost all of his movies, especially Transformers. Any problem, even when it's international or intergalactic, are solved by the Transformers, and the American Military without help from any other country.
Pacific Rim, on the other hand, begins with all the countries banding together to fight the threat of the monsters coming out of the ocean. This is a pleasant diversion from so many ethnocentric, American films. del Toro also stays away from the "Megan Fox" appeal. The women in Pacific Rim are not just for who, but actually have depth and keep their clothes on (wearing body armor for most of the movie.)
The plot itself starts out simple. Enormous monsters coming out of the ocean and attacking the major cities on the coasts. Taking them down with regular military hardware, for whatever reason, didn't prove effective. So they had build the big mechs. However, the plot gets more complicated as the scientists studying the monsters begin to discover there's something more sinister going on than just dumb beasts crawling out of the ocean.
If you liked the Transformer movies, I would recommend Pacific Rim. If you didn't care for Transformers, then see Pacific Rim. If you like action movies, see it. If...uh, you don't like movies, then...go for a walk or something.
Here's where I get too critical about things that don't matter.
Mechs? Why? The United States Military has SO many things at its disposal. To build these enormous robots it would be WAY too expensive, compared to simply building better missiles or bombs. Remember that bomb they used in Outbreak? It was the largest bomb they had that wasn't nuclear. That's a real bomb the military has. It could take out a small city. Why not use that instead?
But whatever, maybe they could build it. Here's another problem. Sever scenes in Pacific Rim AND in the Transformer movies there are large, very heavy robots walking around in the middle of the city. Here's the problem. City streets are not that stable. Think about what's underneath it. Subways, tunnels for power, water, sewer, etc... One step with by a robot or monster that big in downtown...and bam, right through the concrete...a few people might get squashed in the subway, just not a good idea.
Another problem would be transportation. They're big mechs, they walk just like humans do. They don't move all that fast. So, to get them to a location you want them to be, you need to fly them there. In the movie, they showed about a dozen helicopters carrying one mech. Uh, no. It would take at least 30 if not more (I think, pitching a Cracked article on these ideas, btw).
But, technological and logistic problems aside, I DID enjoy the movie. So go see it.

Who Are Funerals For? And Who Are They About?
April 14, 2016 April 14, 2016 · Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick
It's an old question: Who are funerals for — the living or the departed?
If I had to give a quick answer, I would say that funerals are for all concerned, including the departed (in many Christian traditions, we are praying for the departed). But in terms of their impact "on the ground," they are probably mostly for the (earthly) living.
But the bigger question to me is not so much who funerals are for as to who they are about. Are they about the departed? The family? The community?
Or are they about Jesus Christ and His conquest of death?
I was recently sent this piece, which is about badly done funeral services in an Evangelical context, and asked what I thought about it. There's a lot one could say here, and certainly the writer's main point about sensitivity to a family during all the parts of the funeral process is a good one. But it got me thinking about the larger question of the content of funerals.
The larger problem with what he describes is that funeral services have to be made up to begin with. That leaves so much up to the particular personality, tastes, etc., of the person doing the construction of the service. And there is also a lot there that becomes subject to the "What will people think?" element, which is why so many funerals are not even called "funerals" now, but "celebrations of life," as though death were somehow pretend and not really something to think about. And of course most funerals these days in that world also tend to become about the personal story of the deceased rather than The Story of the conquest of death by Christ.
I'm not speaking triumphalistically here about liturgical Christian tradition, but I do think that this is one of the many reasons why most Christians throughout history (including the present moment) do these things liturgically. There is a power and depth to what emerges from Church tradition that easily outstrips really anything that even the most brilliant modern constructor of funerals could devise. With the perpetual innovation model, the onus is on the officiant to come up with something that everyone there will think is good.
Certainly, in a liturgical tradition, there is room for adjustment in terms of the sermon. But it's not the main event. The main event is the Scripture and hymns that have been hallowed by centuries of use to point everyone toward the resurrection. (Here's the full text of the funeral service as it is served in the archdiocese in which I serve.)
Mind you, I know that if one is in a tradition that has a tradition of anti-tradition (which is most of modern Protestantism), then this stuff just isn't even on the table. They have little choice but for all this stuff to be in their own hands. And I don't fault anyone for whom that is where they are. And I honor their efforts.
But I do very much wish that they would talk a lot more at funerals about death. And then most especially that they would talk about resurrection. So much of what happens seems to be about trying to put a person's life into a collage or scrapbook that can nicely be put on the shelf and then taken down when one wants to get nostalgic.
Forgive me if I am a little blunt here. I don't mean to be. But I cannot help but read pieces like this with a bit of frustration — frustration for the whole project of having to try to invent worship services and what that does to both the inventor and to the worshipers. At best, they can only get some of what needs to be said about death and the resurrection. At worst — and, I fear, far too often — it gets missed entirely.
Frankly, it doesn't have to be like that.

Father, bless!
What an edifying post, thank you! May I draw your attention to a beautiful resource created by V. Rev. Dr. Milos Vesin and I that explains the Orthodox funeral service to children?
"When My Baba Died" not only explains but shows what will happen during the wake, church ceremony, and cemetery service while reinforcing the comfort of our faith in a Risen Lord and the importance of memorial services for our departed loved ones.
Read wonderful reviews by Abbot Tryphon, Frederica Mathewes-Green, the OCN, and the Antiochian Dept. of Christian Education on the "Pascha Press" Facebook page.
Thank you for helping to get the word out! The more awareness we can raise that this title exists, the more bereaved families we can help together!
Kissing your right hand
Fr. Peter Andronache says:
Antonin Scalia's words quoted by his son at his funeral seem appropriate for this context: "Even when the deceased was an admirable person, indeed especially when the deceased was an admirable person, praise for his virtues can cause us to forget that we are praying for and giving thanks for God's inexplicable mercy to a sinner."
There is also the pervasive problem of discomfort at the idea of death. I used the first three books of the spiritual life series from Hieromonk Gregorios (from New Rome Press) and the second one was on being prepared for death. It was a challenge to approach the topic in a way that was not so uncomfortable that the parishioners disengaged from the topic.
Thank you for this article.
My conversion to Orthodoxy has led me to reconsider both weddings and funerals, not as celebrations of the personal preferences and tastes of the individual, but celebrations of Christ.
I was received into Orthodoxy and married in an Orthodox ceremony on the same day (on the day we celebrate the stoning of St. Stephen – I'll leave you to write your own punchlines). The Christ-focused ceremony was different than any wedding I'd ever been to, and now I can't imagine it being any other way. As I contemplate my own mortality, I cannot now imagine any other ending than that about which you've written.

China Unicom to Raise $11.7 Billion from Private Firms
China Unicom is said to be raising $11.7 billion from investors including the likes of Tencent and Alibaba. China Unicom will be the first of the state-run telecom entities to receive private capital and mixed ownership. China Mobile is still the world's largest mobile phone operator in terms of subscribers.
China Tower Corp, which owns and manages all of the mobile phone towers, has recently announced that it has increased its mobile network tower sharing rate from 14.3% to 73%. China Tower plans to IPO this year. It has only begun to break even as of last year, but they have stated that their profitability is currently weak.

The Winners of The International 2017
Europe's Liquid beat China's Newbee in a 3-0 set in TI7's final round. On Newbee's path to the finals, they upset fellow Chinese team LGD.Forever Young. Fans had hoped that Newbee would become the first Dota 2 team to win a second International title after the team won in 2014. The tournament itself reached 5 million peak concurrent viewers – League of Legends is the biggest draw by far, considering they recorded 14.7 million peak concurrent viewers in their World Championship last year. However, Dota 2 offers far bigger prizes as TI17 gave out $24 million to the top teams and the LoL World Championships paid $6.7 million in 2016.
In an odder note, controversial Newbee player Vasilii took to Weibo to talk with his fans and claimed that the biggest obstacle that hurt his performance in TI7 was his sex life. He has claimed that he will follow a path of abstinence, along with other players (like San Shao and Crumbz) who have previously arguing that young pro players juggling relationships and esports at the same time will result in lower performance in tournaments.
Facebook Launches App in China
The New York Times reported this week that Facebook released a photo sharing app in China similar to Facebook's Moments, sans Facebook branding. It has not been determined yet if China's regulators were aware of Facebook's Colorful Balloons app.
PLAYERUNKOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS Controversy
Bluehole Studio, the Korean developer behind PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG), has stated that it has not received a large investment from Tencent. PUBG has been the top-selling game on Steam for several weeks now and there is data from Gameloco, a Twitch viewership tracker, stating that more people are watching PUGB matches than League of Legends matches. We anticipate PUBG to be a big game in China.

Tencent reported PC game revenues of $2.0 billion, up 29% YoY. The increase was driven by increased spend across mainstay titles such as League of Legends and DnF.
NetEase
NetEase reported revenues of $2.0 billion (+49.4% YoY) for the quarter ending June 30th 2017. Net Profit increased 9.2% YoY to $438 million.
NetEase reported Online Game revenues of $1.39 billion, up 47% YoY.
NetEase reported Mobile Game revenues of $1.0 billion, representing 72.4% of online game revenues.
The increase in Online Game revenues was driven by the release of Land of Glory and Treasure Hunter on mobile as well as the continued release of expansions for the company's legacy PC games.
Nexon reported revenues of $431 million (+23% YoY) for the quarter ending June 30th 2017. Net Profit increased 157% YoY to $178 million.
Nexon reported game revenues in China of $188 million, up 33% YoY. The increase was primarily driven by new updates to Dungeon & Fighter which continues to perform well in China. The company was able to increase ARPPU and MAU this quarter compared to the same period last year.
Nexon expects to publish DnF 2D for mobile and Maplestory 2 in China this year via Tencent.

Hike with a 6-pack of beer in your pack? I don't guess you're exactly an ultralite backpacker, are you? :-?
Can't you dehydrate beer? I think there's a market for Dry Beer Powder here. Who's with me?
When I was in college in TX the student hangout bar sold 'premium' beers like Bud, Schlitz or Miller for 55 cents per longneck, widely distributed local brews like Lone Star or Pearl were 50 cents, and the lowest of the low was Shiner (http://www.shiner.com/home.html), from an ancient hole in the wall brewery, the only brand they priced at 45 cents. So I could get 2 Shiners and a small slice of cheddar, the bar had a barrel of free crackers and that was often lunch between classes, all for $1. Premium beers were out of my price range, if I upgraded to 'Star I couldn't get cheese! I became a Shiner Bock fan, even stopped by the brewery once to buy a t-shirt. When I wore it you could see people wrinkle their nose 'Shiner! Blech!' It was so low class, so anti-cool, that it became my favorite shirt.
Now that same hole in the wall brewery is called a microbrewery and Shiner Bock is a Yuppie brew priced higher than Bud. Go figure.
Someone did do that. I never got a hold of any, but I remember someone saying it was undrinkable, worse than Bud.
It's easy to dehydrate beer and the result is a dry powder. Rehydrated it tastes exactly like flat beer with no alcohol. You can experience the taste at home.
Just heat a bottle of beer to boiling and let it simmer until all the fizz and alcohol are driven off by the heat. No need to totally dehydrate before testing the results, though you may want to add a couple of tablespoons of water to make up for the water and alcohol which was evaporated. Cool and drink. Or drink it hot, if you prefer. It's equally tasty.
Somehow, I prefer 180 proof grain alcohol diluted with a little Tang. Or even a little 100-proof JW Dant bourbon, mixed with a bit of unfiltered spring water.
Just razzing you Wonderer. I was a poor college student once too. Now that's a job I would've wished for! My share of cheap beer: Golden Anniversary, Narragansett (now check my spelling:o ), Olympia, Hamms (boar on it), Red, White, & Blue Beer, Old Mil, my hiking buddy just regressed to some Charleston, SC beer, and I have, on at least two occasions, bought generic beer. It comes in a white can with just the label "Beer". It's fun to throw a six pack in the cooler. The rule is no looking, just fish your beer out of the ice, no second picks.
The Irish probably drink their Guinness cold to spite the English;). Traditionally, they would not have had the refrigeration to serve it that cold. Very cold beer will mask some of the beer's flavors. Ask any certified beer judge.
Cool or cold, it's just personal preference. Drink it as you like it.
TASTY!! Just add a few old cigarette butts flosting in it and you have a party.
