I may eat a lot, but I typically don't spend a lot of time eating. I don't take the time to really enjoy a meal and focus on the tastes, smells, views. However, there was one meal I had years ago that I can still recall as a) one of the best meals I've ever had and b) one of them most enjoyable experiences I've ever had. It was summer 2014 and I went to a restaurant in Newport that I still love very much: The Mooring.
I was on my own for a day trip to Newport and I wanted to go all out. So, I made a reservation at The Mooring, which I had read about in almost every article about Newport. There was mention of seafood doughnuts and I was sold. The restaurant is right on the water and it's a quick walk from all the public parking lots. I walked in and I was greeted by a gentleman in a nice outfit and some smiles from the young ladies around him. I asked for an outdoor table with a great view and they delivered. The hostess walked me over to a nice two-top and pulled out a chair for me so I could face all the boats that were all about 20 yards from me.
At this point, I was in Heaven. I didn't even need to eat because I was already content with my visit. Wait. Who are we kidding? THE DOUGHNUTS! I needed to eat. I picked out a glass of white wine, read over the menu, and decided I was going to seriously treat myself. I asked my waitress, Callie, if I would be overdoing it if I ordered an appetizer of the Bag of Doughnuts (Lobster, crab, and shrimp fritters with chipotle-maple aioli… STOP) and the Seafood Pasta (Lobster, shrimp, sea scallops, tomato-garlic butter sauce, fresh herbs, angel hair pasta… PLEASE stop). Without hesitation, Callie said that she thought I could handle it. I love someone who doesn't underestimate me. After I ordered, I had some time to reflect on the food-sperience that I was about to have. And all of a sudden, it felt different than any other restaurant visit. I felt calm. I wasn't guzzling down my water or asking for bread. I was enjoying the view and getting excited about the lush meal I would soon be enjoying.
A server came by with my bag of doughnuts. Normally, I would grab those suckers with my hand, rip it in two pieces, dip a piece in that sauce, and eat it in two bites. But something in me wanted to really enjoy this meal. And for some reason that translated to eating slower. And IT. WAS. AWESOME. I placed a doughnut on my side plate, cut it open, cut it in tiny bites, dipped it ever-so-slightly into the sauce, patiently brought my fork up to my mouth, and took a beautiful bite of the warm, crunchy goodness.
It was one of the most wonderful first bites I've ever had. I continued to eat slowly, intentionally even. I felt like I was connecting with the food on my plate and, beyond that, with each of the ingredients in it; with the chef who prepared it; with the server who delivered it. For the first time ever, I fully appreciated a meal. And not the type of appreciation that lends itself to me eating the food so quickly that I am actually sad when it's over. This was the type of appreciation that turned the meal into an experience rather than just food on a plate. As I finished the last bite of my third doughnut, I decided to stop. Callie kindly wrapped up the other three doughnuts. I later gave the leftovers to the parking attendant, who was grateful and willing to take food from a stranger. Then an angel approached me with a plate of delectable treats. In reality, the angel was a server and the treats were the contents of the Seafood Pasta.
I thanked the server for delivering my new best friend. I mean my food. I tried to play it cool, I really did. But I had zero chill whatsoever.
To everyone around me, it probably looked like I had never seen food in my life. But in my little world, I was building a connection with the food I was about to consume. I looked at it from every angle; took time to appreciate the deep colors and variety of yummy things; took some photos. And you know that thing that good servers do when they approach you a couple minutes after you get your food to make sure it's alright? Callie did that and I still hadn't taken one bite of it. So, naturally, I lied and said it was amazing because I had no doubt that it would be.
My prediction was correct. Every bite was mouth-watering goodness. The food was cooked perfectly–it wasn't too salty or too oily, or too anything other than delicious. I took my time, really paying attention to each bite. It was one of the most glorious meals I have ever had. And even though I can attribute that mostly to the wonderful service, flawless view, and delicious combination of ingredients, my approach to eating was also a huge part of it.
I try to eat in this manner every once in a while–truly appreciating my food and either my environment or the company. I don't do it often, but when I do it becomes a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Coming soon: a "Best of Newport" post that you won't want to miss!

Q: Facebook Group invite via Graph API I about to built a little online game in Action Script 3. At the moment everything is working pretty fine and there is just one thing left to do that makes me going crazy. After every Level of the Game the user should notified about his success and in case that the success was good enough, the user should be invited to a facebook group. At the Moment i have got an Facebook App, Authentification and Authorisation are working and what still is to manage is the invitation itself.
Does anybody know if there is a way to make this happen, and if so, how could it be done? Thanks a lot for a reply!
greetings!

A: So, after having a nice day of »facebook api investigation« i would sum up the things i found out:
I'm quite sure that there is no way to make an group invitation via the graph api. The best result i could reach was an Error that told me: »requires the manage_groups permission«.
Consequently I added this permission to the login method and »tada«: the app didn't work anymore, just told me that there is an error with the app and I should try later again.
The code for getting this great message looked like this:
FB.api( "//members","POST", { name : "user name" }, function( response ){
//the great error appears here in the response
} );
I also was looking for something in the facebook.connect api but could not find something related to the problem i tried to solve.
If there is anybody who knows something better to try, i would very interested.
Greeting Philipp

A: Looks like "manage_groups" is not available to the public, (yet?). I'm following this and this discussion about it, as "manage_groups" seems to be required to invite a user to a group, but is not listed in the Facebook reference of extended permissions.

The Tribune Company has become a broadcasting partner with the NFL, reaching an agreement to have eight stations in the company's network broadcast late-season night games that will also be shown on NFL Network.
The NFL mandates that broadcast rights to games on cable – ESPN and NFL Network – also be awarded to free, over-the-air TV stations in the markets of the two teams involved in the game. Of course, that is providing it is a sellout for the home team.
In this arrangement, Tribune Company will simulcast six NFL Network games late in the season, starting with the Chicago Bears at the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 18, a game that will be shown in Chicago on WGN and in Miami on WSFL.


Note that at its most crammed, Salpêtrière could hold close to 40,000. Add to that the various prisons, plus all the people living less-than-willingly in hospitals, convalescent homes, and convents, and you have a very large number indeed. Conceivably you could have a city where more than 25% of its population was either locked up or being watched.
All of which I'm off to see, in a few hours. Quiet morning now; anticipating the inner silence of a solitary journey. The cats are on edge, the sun is not yet up. Gathering myself for a long flight and a taste of winter on the other side.

Q: Catching multiple exceptions in Java-8 While trying out the multi-catch feature I found in my m1() method everything is working fine as expected.
However, in m2() the same code does not compile. I have just changed the syntax to reduce the number of lines of code.
public class Main {

    public int m1(boolean bool) {
        try {
            if (bool) {
                throw new Excep1();
            }
            throw new Excep2();
            //This m1() is compiling  abs fine.
        } catch (Excep1 | Excep2 e) {
            return 0;
        }
    }

    public int m2(boolean b) {
        try {
            throw b ? new Excep1() : new Excep2();
            //This one is not compiling.
        } catch (Excep1 | Excep2 e) {
            return 0;
        }
    }

    private static interface I {
    }

    private static class Excep1 extends Exception implements I {
    }

    private static class Excep2 extends Exception implements I {
    }
}

Why doesn't method m2() compile?

A: The type of the expression
b ? new Excep1() : new Excep2()

is Exception, since that's the common supertype of Excep1 and Excep2.
However, you are not catching Exception, so the compiler complains about it.
If you catch Exception, it will pass compilation:
public int m2(boolean b) {
    try {
        throw b ? new Excep1() : new Excep2();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        return 0;
    }
}

I tried to find the JLS entry that explains the type of conditional ternary expression in your example.
All I could find was that this particular expression is a 15.25.3. Reference Conditional Expression.
I'm not entirely sure if it counts as a poly expression or a standalone expression. I think it's standalone (since poly expressions involve an assignment context or an invocation context, and I don't think a throw statement counts as either of those).
For a standalone expression: "If the second and third operands have the same type (which may be the null type), then that is the type of the conditional expression."
In your case, the second and third operands have three common types - Object, Throwable and Exception - the type of the expression must be one of the latter two, since, "The Expression in a throw statement must either denote a variable or value of a reference type which is assignable (§5.2) to the type Throwable."
It appears that the compiler picks the most specific common type (Exception), and therefore a catch (Exception e) solves the compilation error.
I also tried to replace your two custom exceptions with two sub-classes of IOException, in which case catch (IOException e) solves the compilation error.

A: Java restrict you to catch or declare all exception types that method can throws,
It search for common parent for both (/all) Exceptions and expect you to catch or declare as throws, for example if Excep1 extends Throwable you will have to catch also Throwable
In first case Java is sure you are either throwing Excep1 or Excep2

A: You're confusing the compiler with this line:
throw b ? new Excep1() : new Excep2();

The compiler sees that the result of the expression (to the right of the throw) is the common super class between Except1 and Except2, which is Exception, and therefore the effective type you are throwing becomes Exception. The catch statement cannot pick up that you're trying to throw Excep1 or Except2.

'All of my fights have been real' - Jake Paul reveals reason behind Woodley's $500K KO clause
Jake Paul talks about the $500K knockout bonus that was put in place for Tyron Woodley for their December 18 rematch.

Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley went to great lengths to get a rematch with Jake Paul. "The Chosen One" not only got what he asked for but he was also promised a $500K bonus if he knocked out "The Problem Child" in their December 18 showdown under Showtime Boxing.
Half a million dollars is quite the motivation for Woodley to get the job done. But for his part, Paul wants to finally kill off rumors surrounding his budding boxing run.
"There's rumors going around that everyone has come to believe that my fights are rigged or that I don't allow my opponents to knock me out in the contract. It's just not true, it's completely bullshit," Paul told Ariel Helwani during his recent appearance on The MMA Hour.
"Of course, all these people are gonna do is try to discredit me because when you're at the top, that's what happens. So I just want to nip the rumors in the bud and give my opponent contractually… I'm giving Tyron an extra $500,000 if he can knock me out."
Paul (4-0) knows the legal consequences of trying to control a fight's narrative and have it end in someone's favor, which is partly why he is adamant about disproving such allegations.
"It just rips the rumors in the bud and shows people that all of my fights have been real, are real, and will continue to be real," he explained. "It's illegal to rig a fight or to stage a fight. It's illegal to have things like that because it's fraud. And there's outcomes. You can't change the outcome of a professionally-sanctioned bout. It's illegal. You'll end up in jail.
"So the fact that people even say this, we just wanted to squash the rumors."
Paul vs. Woodley 2 will take place in Tampa, Florida. The undercard features the return of Amanda Serrano, who faces Miriam Gutierrez in a lightweight bout.

Chattanooga Guitar Museum Celebrates Disappearing Art of Craftsmanship
"Call me last."
For decades, that phrase has been the calling card of vintage guitar buyer David Davidson.
"It takes years sometimes to buy a guitar," he explains. "When someone's not ready to sell for whatever reason — it's emotional, it's sentimental, or the money's not right — 'call me last' is a way of saying, 'I find your instrument so special, I want to own it because of what it is, I want to own it because of the story that's behind it. If I really love the guitar, when the time comes to sell it and you're shopping it around, I'll name a price tag that will make you want to sell it to us.'"
Davidson's patient, long-term strategy has obviously worked. Visitors can take in the results at the new Songbirds Guitar Museum, which opened in Chattanooga, Tenn., in March. The museum's collection belongs to an investment group of five anonymous collectors who claim it is the most extensive and comprehensive display of vintage guitars in the world, estimated to be worth more than $200 million.

Vision screening in children: Review of the literature
N. Stolla, C. Speeg-Schatzb, A. Sauerb
Publication: Journal Français D'Ophtalmologie
In children, refractive errors and amblyopia are the two most common causes of avoidable visual impairment.
Screening for these is essential, especially since there is a so-called "sensitive" period during which the maturation of the visual pathways is not complete.
The child's visual prognosis will therefore depend on his or her age, the duration of the visual deprivation and the timing of management.
Visual screening is part of a public health approach, but there are significant regional disparities regarding its organization and the means used.
The study conducted a review of the literature in order to establish an inventory of available resources and improve practices.

Lynd Ward
Prelude to a Million Years, Song Without Words, Vertigo (LOA #211) (Library of America Lynd Ward Edition #2)
Lynd Ward, Lynd Ward (Illustrator), Art Spiegelman (Editor)
List Price: 40.00*
* Individual store prices may vary.
In this, the second of two volumes collecting all his woodcut novels, The Library of America brings together Lynd Ward's three later books, two of them brief, the visual equivalent of chamber music, the other his longest, a symphony in three movements. Prelude to a Million Years (1933) is a dark meditation on art, inspiration, and the disparity between the ideal and the real. Song Without Words (1936), a protest against the rise of European fascism, asks if ours is a world still fit for the human soul. Vertigo (1937), Ward's undisputed masterpiece, is an epic novel on the theme of the individual caught in the downward spiral of a sinking American economy. Its characters include a young violinist, her luckless fiancé, and an elderly business magnate who—movingly, and without ever becoming a political caricature—embodies the social forces determining their fate.
The images reproduced in this volume are taken from prints pulled from the original woodblocks or first-generation electrotypes. Ward's novels are presented, for the first time since the 1930s, in the format that the artist intended, one image per right-hand page, and are followed by four essays in which he discusses the technical challenges of his craft. Art Spiegelman contributes an introductory essay, "Reading Pictures," that defines Ward's towering achievement in that most demanding of graphic-story forms, the wordless novel in woodcuts.
Library of America, 9781598530810, 690pp.
Publication Date: October 14, 2010
Lynd Ward was born in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois. He is the author of six novels in woodcuts and three picture books for children, and the illustrator of some two hundred other books. Storyteller Without Words, an autobiographical monograph on his work in wood engraving, was published in 1974. He died in 1985.
Art Spiegelman, volume editor, is the author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning graphic memoir Maus: A Survivor's Tale and Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, among many other works.

«The Fields of Anfield Road» — популярная среди болельщиков футбольного клуба «Ливерпуль» песня, исполняемая во время перерывов в игре. Она является одной из самых известных песен фанов команды (наряду с «You'll Never Walk Alone»). В тексте упоминаются легенды «Ливерпуля» Билл Шенкли, Боб Пейсли, Кенни Далглиш и Стив Хайвэй. Исполняется на мотив «Fields of Athenry».

В 2009 году к двадцатой годовщине трагедии на «Хиллсборо» к песне был дописан ещё один куплет, посвящённый погибшим 96 болельщикам «Ливерпуля», а также был выпущен сингл, в записи которого принимали участие легендарные игроки «Ливерпуля» (Кенни Далглиш, Брюс Гроббелар, Алан Кеннеди, Ховард Гейл) и семьи фанатов, погибших во время трагедии.

Обычно во время матча песня исполняется не целиком — поётся только припев, для того, чтобы больше «раззадорить» игроков.

Текст
Outside the Shankly Gates
I heard a Kopite calling
Shankly they have taken you away
But you left a great eleven
Before you went to heaven
Now it's glory round the Fields of Anfield Road.

All round the Fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and could he play!)
Steve Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road

Outside the Paisley Gates
I heard a Kopite calling
Paisley they have taken you away
You led the great 11
Back in Rome in 77
And the redmen they are still playing the same way

All round the Fields of Anfield Road
Where once we watched the King Kenny play (and could he play!)
Steve Heighway on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Fields of Anfield Road

Human neurobrucellosis has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations depending on the stage of the infection and affected part of the nervous system. Neurobrucellosis is the second most common and severely debilitating complication of the systemic brucellosis and may occur at any stage, even years after and without the sytemic symptoms. Clinically, neurobrucellosis can present in an acute form as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, myelopathy, or neuropathy; in chronic form as granuloma, demyelinization, or degeneration; or in any combination of these. In this chapter, we analyze the etiology, physiopathology, clinical picture, diagnosis, and management of intramedullary brucellosis in detail.


Have you had many mountaintop experiences? These are those experiences which bring us closer in our relationship with God, usually through extraordinary experiences. What were those mountaintops?
In our two scripture passages from this past week, we find two different mountaintop experiences. In Exodus we find Moses going up the mountain to encounter God. God called him to the mountaintop, and this is where he encounters the living God. Covered in a shroud of clouds and mystery, God met Moses on the top of that mountain.
40 days and forty nights, Moses stayed on the top, stayed with God. If you remember, Moses came down the mountain with his face glowing from his encounter. People were afraid to look at him; he was transformed by his encounter with God.
And then in our Gospel lesson, Jesus goes up the mountain and is transformed. He is actually transfigured. There was a definite change in how Jesus looked to the disciples who traveled with him that day. His face shone like the sun and his clothes were changed to a brilliant white.
Great things happen during those mountain top experiences. The mountain is a great place to be. When I experience a mountaintop, I don't want to come down. I want to stay on the mountain as long as I can. But eventually I have to come down. I was like Peter, wanting to pitch a couple of tents on the mountain, trying to make the moment last as long as he could.
If I came down, it meant that I would have to re-enter the world around me, but I liked it on the mountain. I liked the feeling I had. It felt like nothing could go wrong, all was right within my soul, it was perfect. Why ruin a good thing, right?
But we have to come down off the mountain, because as much as we like it up there, life is lived out in the plains. Friendships are formed in the normal everyday experiences. Ministry is done in the level plains. In the rolling hills of northwest Illinois.
As Jesus is transfigured on the mountain top, we are transformed by those experiences. When we encounter God in such a real way, it has a tendency to propel us to the mountain. And when we encounter God in that real way, we become transformed. Like Moses, we don't look like we used to. We don't act like we used to. We don't treat others the way we used to. Our lives are transformed on that mountain top. But they are not transformed for our glory, it is all for the glory of God, and that's why we need to come down off the mountain and enter into our everyday lives. We need to be the witnesses to God's transforming power, so that others can have their own mountain top experiences.
Now, one last thing to remember, especially as we head into the Lenten season, is that mountaintop experiences aren't always moments of absolute joy, seeing the wonder and majesty of God in new and magnificent ways. These experiences can also be times of quiet reflection.
I recently had such an occasion when I made a trip to Denver Colorado. I was able to enter just the foothills of Denver, still a long way off the mountaintop. But it gave me a few moments to reflect on my relationship with Jesus Christ and what he is calling me to do. Jesus did the same.
So as we enter Lent this Ash Wednesday, I hope you can reflect on those celebrations of being on top of the mountain, but I also hope you can carve out some time, just 15 minutes, to steal away to Jesus on the mountain top.
In our passage today we hear that we are to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. So the question comes, how do we love them. This past Sunday we looked at the ancient Greek words used for love. Stroge love is one of family, love of a child or parent. Eros is a love between spouses. Philia love is considered "brotherly love" which would be the love of not only family, but also friends. This love requires a warmth and affection towards another. But the love expressed here for our enemies is not any of these, it is Agape love.
This is the highest form of love. It is a never changing love. It is a love that can be felt between spouses, family, and friends. But it can also be felt between strangers and, dare I say, enemies. You see, this type of love is not affected by behaviors, good or bad. Nothing affects it.
God has shown this throughout scripture. We see this when the Israelites turned away from God and even began worshipping other gods, when they questioned Moses in the desert, even when they killed God's only Son. God's love never changed. He always loved them, just like he always loves us. Throughout the Psalms we hear this phrase over and over again, "give thanks to the Lord our God and King, His love endures forever." This is God's steadfast love. This is God's Agape love for His people, for all people. Agape love is invincible goodwill, the ability to love those we don't necessarily like, and those who don't particularly like us. This kind of love is a choice. We choose whether to love someone with Agape love, or we don't. It is our choice. We have the liberty that God has given to us to make that choice.
Now please understand this, this choice that we can choose to make, is only possible through the grace of Jesus Christ. That is the power that is given to us, the power to choose to love. It all starts with each one of us. When we get up in the morning, we can choose to love. We can choose to lay the hate and anger aside, and allow the Agape love of God to be manifested in our lives.
This love is based in a relationship, beginning with our relationship with Jesus Christ. It all starts there and then we make our decision to love others, through the grace of Christ. We have that liberty, just as all of those around us have the same liberty to do as they like to us. We don't have control over them, but we do have control over our attitudes and our ability to love.
But we are not only called to love our enemies, but we are also called to pray for them. Now I don't know about you, but I find it incredibly difficult to pray for someone that I don't like. If fact, I find that if I pray for someone that I'm not especially fond of, it won't take long before those feeling begin to vanish. It's hard to pray for someone, and truly want God's will for their lives, without beginning to feel something for them. You begin to see that they are also a child of God, that this is a special person whom God loves, just as much as God loves you. And if that's the case, how could you not love a brother or sister in Christ?
Anger and hatred have no place in the face of God. They simply can't exist together. Anger has no place in the Kingdom of God. Hatred has no place in the Kingdom of God. Bullying has no place in the Kingdom of God. Racism has no place, oppression has no place, divisive language has no place, persecution has no place in the Kingdom of God.
Sisters and brothers, we are called to be godlike, to be Christ like. We are called to be imitators of God and how do we know what that is? We know this through the revelation of God in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is how we know what it means to be imitators of God, to be Christ like.
God demonstrated Agape love through the life of Jesus Christ, He embodied Agape love to all people, not just the ones who followed him and listened to His teachings, but all people, including the tax collectors, religious leaders, and even those on the fringes of society. Jesus Christ ate with sinners. This is the life we should follow; this is the life we should be looking to imitate. This is the life that shows us what true Agape love is, and we should act the same.
God offers blessing on all people, not just the "good" ones. He gives the benefit of the sunshine as well as the blessing of rain on those who follow his commands and those who don't, those who love him and those who curse him. This is Agape love, a love that is unwavering in the face of rejection, in the face of disbelief, and in the face of anger. Love, regardless of whether it is reciprocated.
I think too often, the love that we have is conditional. We will love someone, or at least be kind to someone else as long as they do the same. If they decide not to return the favor, to show affection, or to at least acknowledge our love, then we just drop them and move on to the next person. I'm sure that we can all think of someone who we have treated this way in the past.
But you must see that God is calling us in this passage to something greater. He is asking us to not only love our enemies and pray for those who would like to do harm to us, but He is also asking us to be like Christ. God is asking us to be perfect, as He is perfect. Leviticus 19:2 tells us; "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." 1st Peter 1:16 also tells us; "You shall be holy for I am holy." And now in Matthew 5:48; "You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." We are to be like God, be like Christ.
But what does it mean to be perfect? How do we live a life of perfection? If you remember, perfect in our scriptures does not necessarily mean what we think it means. To be perfect means that you are living into God's calling in your life and in our passage today it means that you are living your life full of Agape love to all people. This means loving both the saint and the sinner alike, with the same kind of love that God loves us; unchanging, unwavering, regardless of the actions of others.
Again, a glimpse of John Wesley's view of Christian Perfection; having nothing but the love of Go and the love of neighbor in our hearts. Not just in actions, but in our affections, the things that only God and ourselves can see. Is this possible, absolutely! Is it difficult, darn right it is. But that doesn't mean that we should stop striving for it.
As we look at our relationships with God and others, there are many times when we know that our relationship with God is primary, before all else. But in these verses, we might hear something a little different. We see here that if there is a problem with a brother or sister, we should first take care of that before we offer anything to God. It seems like our relationship with others take precedents before God. But as we look at this a little closer, things change.
First, God is calling us to reconcile our relationships here, before we do anything else. But notice the example given, is reconciliation in reverse, or at least the normal way we would think about it. We usually think about it this way. We've done something to someone, we have wronged them in some way. We didn't treat them the way they deserve. Either way, we are at fault. So we go to them and ask for forgiveness. We say that we are sorry and hope they can find it in their heart to forgive us.
But this example tells us how to react to someone else's anger or action, regardless of its validity. It may be that their anger is appropriate and valid, but that should not stop us from seeking reconciliation and forgiveness. The condition of the church, this community, is that important. That is why Jesus is asking us to reconcile before we approach the altar with our offerings.
You must see that anger, resentment, gossip, talking down to others, even name calling is not acceptable behaviors within our community. All of these things are barriers to community, they are barriers to love. All of these things are like bricks being placed one by one, creating a wall that one day will cut off our relationship with each other. God knows that if we are not reconciled with each other, we will never be reconciled with Him. We can't be right with God until we get right with our neighbors and friends. Let me remind you of the greatest commandment; we are to love God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all your mind. And, we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.
We need to get right with each other, and do it quickly. As our scripture tells us, we need to come to terms with our accuser while we can. If we wait too long, we risk being turned over to the judge and reaching a point in the relationship which is beyond the point of no return. Then we lose the chance to ever reconcile with them.
So go, make that phone call, send that text, go and visit, reconcile your relationships.
Here we have Jesus telling us that this is who we are; salt of the earth and the light of the world. But this isn't just describing us, it's more of a charge. It's something that we should do; be salt, be light. As we look at these two metaphors, we need to make sure we look at them from the perspective of Jesus' day, because if we look at them from today's perspective and our health conscious society, salt may not be a wonderful thing all the time. But then again, there might be some insight even today.
The people in Jesus' day would have viewed salt in a few different ways. They saw it as a representation of purity, as a preservative, and something that adds flavor. I guess we could see that as well.
First, salt is bleach white, clean looking and therefore was used in many references of pure and purity. We could see the same with snow, "it was as pure as the driven snow." Fresh, clean. Jesus was telling his disciples that they needed to live a life of purity. They should live their life avoiding sin. They should be an example of a life devoted to Jesus and his teachings. We are called to the same.
2000 years ago, they did not have refrigeration, they had no freezers, nothing to keep their food from spoiling. What they did have was salt. Salt acted as a preservative and kept their food edible for a longer period of time. Salt helped the meat they were not ready to cook yet, to not go bad. How many times are we in the middle of conversations with friends and the topic becomes toxic. Gossip begins, slander erupts, name calling begins, or maybe it's just a change in tone. How easy is it to just go with the flow, follow suit, and join right in the degrading conversation, even if we know it's wrong?
Here's where the preservative comes in. We are to be like that salt, preserving the conversation from going bad. As followers of Christ, we should be the ones who stand up for what is right and good, making sure that those around us aren't sucked into the gossip or degrading conversation or actions.
Salt add flavor. Oh yes it does. It adds flavor. It also brings out natural flavor, like steaks. I'm sure some of you are on one of those low sodium diets, heart healthy, low salt, low flavor diets. You see, when you take out the salt, food has a tendency to get a little bland, at least it does when you first begin the diet. Maybe you get used to it, maybe not.
As Christians, we should be adding flavor to our relationships. I'm not sure when it became normal to think that Christians were always the boring ones, never having any fun. I say that since we are Christians, we should be the ones having the most fun. I mean really, what can be better. We have everything to celebrate. So let's add a little flavor to our lives, salt it up!
One more thing about salt. As I was reflecting on salt's many different uses, I came across one during the winter season. When the weather gets bad and road conditions deteriorate and get slippery, the road crews venture out and lay salt down on the roads. It's a safety thing. We don't want people sliding off the roads and getting hurt, right? What if being the salt of the earth means helping to keep people on the straight and narrow path that leads to Jesus Christ?
Can we see our lives like that rock salt, guiding people to safety when times get rough and when it seems like it would be easy to just let go of the wheel and slide right into the ditch? We should live our life so that others can get traction in their relationship with Jesus Christ and not slip off the path God has called them on.
But we are not just the salt of the earth, we are also the light of the world. We are called to be a light in a world full of darkness, to share the light of Christ with a world that so desperately needs it. We are like a city on a hill, lighting the way for others to find their way home. We are like a lighthouse, leading people home safely from the dangers of the sea.
With all this being said, the light of Jesus in our life as something that needs to be seen. The light of Jesus in our life should be seen as a guide, leading others to a relationship with Him. We can see the light of Jesus in our life as a warning light. Many see these warning lights as something that keeps people away from danger, and we need to be that warning light to those who find themselves in danger.
But if they can't see the light, how are we supposed to help them? If our light is hidden, how will it lead people to a relationship with Jesus Christ? Worse yet, if our light has been dimmed in any way, will people be able to see it. Will it be so dim that not only will others not see it, but it also will not be able to guide us, to show us the way any longer? (pause) So how is our light hidden or dimmed?
Our light is hidden when we are going along with the crowd. When we find it more important to get along with everyone that we don't stand out for what we believe in. When we are caught up in situations and conversations that are not life giving. When we decide that other things are more important than sharing and witnessing to our relationship with Jesus, we hide our light, the light that Jesus has placed in our hearts.
Our light is hidden when we deny the light. When we either walk away from our relationship, or we deny that we even know Jesus, we place that bushel over our light. When we sin, we allow our light to be dimmed. The further away we get in our own relationship with Jesus, the dimmer our light gets.
Our light is hidden when we fail to explain the light to others, when we don't testify to our relationship, to the change that we've had in our lives, the bushel covers our light a little more.
Our light is hidden when we are quiet when we should speak. When we encounter injustices in this world, when we find ourselves in the face of bullying, when we are face to face with hate, we need to speak. We need to be the light that reaches into the darkness of these situations, shining the light of Christ into the darkness of sin.
If we are doing our part as disciples of Jesus Christ, our lives can't be hidden. If we are living our lives as people who are loved by God, saved by grace, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, there is no way in the world our light can be hidden. We will be like that city on a hill, shining for all to see. Our lives will be that beacon of light which reaches the lost and broken.
I don't really have to tell you about the world that we live in right now. All the anger, disgust, bullying, discriminating, and hate filled things that are going on within our country and even our community are dragging us down. They are attempting to hide our lights. All of these things are diminishing the lights that we have in our collective souls.
I look around me and see the world becoming darker by the day, and it's not just from the leaders of our country. This is coming from many in our world who have taken an extreme side, regardless of which side, and are tearing others down. Belittling them with horrible speech and name calling. There are so many who have hidden their lights by speaking in ways that Christians or even just moral people should never speak.
We need to be sure that when we speak up, which we should do, that we do so in the love of God. We should spread the love of God all around us, having uplifting conversations and debates about the issues that really matter. Issues of life. Issues of love. Issues of caring for others and helping to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
If we are truly the salt of the earth and the light of the world, we need to live our lives accordingly. As disciples of Christ, this is what we are called to do.

Doing God A Favor – Fiction
12 November 2013 / SequoyaReview
Doing God a Favor
The door was slammed shut behind her by the strong wind that was whipping her face as she pulled on her red coat.
"Phew, the wind's really whippin today isn't it Sadie, gal" said a deep, soft voice inside her head.
"Yeah daddy, sure is," she whispered softly to the memory.
She was glad that he was with her tonight. It seemed fitting that he be present for this. She flipped up the collar of her coat to block the bite of the wind and walked to the little one car garage behind her house and hopped in her truck. Red had always been her favorite color, so of course she'd picked the brightest red car on the lot. It wasn't exactly the most conspicuous color, but in Tennessee any sort of truck blended in just fine.
The sky was dark and grey even though it was only six o'clock. A storm was blowing in. Sadie's headlights cut through the thick dark atmosphere with difficulty. Rain began to pelt the windows just as she pulled up to the coffee shop. The bell above the door tinkled as she walked into the warm, cozy little brew house. She took her seat at the table meant for two and faced the green leather chair, as of now unoccupied, that stood in the corner.
"Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord," she murmured as she leaned her head back and closed her eyes with her hands folded in her lap listening for the next tinkle of the bell.
Cooper didn't know why he kept finding himself walking down the cheery little street once again. Even with the oncoming storm the streets of Franklin were well lit and lined with cute little houses, each one not quite like the rest, looking like something out of a fairytale book.
He hated the little coffee shop on the corner; hated the coffee, hated the noise, and hated the people. And yet ever since returning to Tennessee some two months ago he found himself walking through the front door almost every day. Perhaps he liked how well he could blend in amongst the constant crowd or maybe the place reminded him of the one that had gotten away. She was the only one and she haunted his every waking thought, as did her father, Sergeant Sanders, with his pock marked face, his massive jaw, and his eerily quiet, gravelly voice.
"Don't you dare touch her you son of a bitch," Sanders had snarled, spraying blood from his busted up lip all over the white carpet of his daughter's bedroom from where he'd sat handcuffed to the radiator. "You touch her and I'll make you pay, you understand? I swear I'll make you pay."
To this day Cooper remembered that threatening voice but the thing he remembered most was what Sanders had said next. His whole demeanor had changed as if by the flip of a switch.
"Now don't you be afraid Sadie, darlin," he'd crooned to the little curly haired girl frozen in terror on the bed, her eyes full of tears, "Daddy's not gonna let anything happin to ya. You hear me, Sadie Mae?
Little Sadie Mae had nodded once, let out one last sniffle, wiped her eyes and forced her bottom lip to cease its quivering.With those few words Sanders had gained the upper hand. Cooper's victim refused to be afraid of him all because of a few words from that cursed man.
The bell tinkled his arrival into the coffee shop, another thing he could not stand. Every eye in the place glanced up briefly to see who had come through the door. But no one seemed interested in the broad wide-faced man with miskept salt and pepper hair that tickled his jaw. His eyes darted quickly around the coffee shop, but he paid no mind to the beautiful woman with voluminous dark brown curls who was drawing the eyes of every other man in the room. She was much too old for his tastes, and therefore he did not notice the intense gaze she fixed upon him as he sat down in his customary green leather chair in the corner.
The bell had rung many times and the clock struck eight before the person she'd been waiting for showed up. She'd ordered a black coffee when the waitress came by, not really because she wanted any, but because it was what her father had always ordered.
"Best coffee in town," He'd told her the first time he'd brought her here when she was five, "So strong it'll knock you right on your butt."
She'd giggled at that. What five year old didn't giggle at the word butt? Unless of course the sentence was "I'm going to whip your butt." But that was not a phrase sweet five year old Sadie Mae Sanders heard very often, and she had giggled away. And as the twenty two year old Sadie sipped her bitter black coffee she thought about how different she was from her five year old counterpart. Before the death of her beloved father, who'd raised her single handedly since her mother had died when she was two, she had been a sweet, shy, quiet girl. Everyone said she was just like her father soft spoken and kind hearted. She had prided herself in her resemblance to the great Police Sergeant Sanders, who in her eyes could do no wrong. But the moment he was taken away from her had set in motion a change deep in the heart of sweet Sadie Mae. Her words were often harsh, though still rather scarce. People now described her as driven or determined, but they did not know what really drove her, what her ultimate goal truly was. And when the man who had caused all the pain walked through the door, defiling her father's favorite place, her hardened heart began to beat faster.
"Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord," she whispered, spitting the words in the direction of her oblivious target.
She reached into the inner pocket of her coat and stroked the smooth barrel of her father's 9mm. If she'd had the gun the first time she'd seen Cooper in that exact same chair about a month ago she would have shot him on the spot. The intensity of the anger that followed the initial shock had taken her by surprise, but she'd managed to choke it down and let it boil beneath the surface until the time was right.
She'd been following him ever since and it hadn't been much of a surprise to find that he had been watching someone as well. Her name was Molly. She was a rosy cheeked blonde who always wore pigtails. If Cooper had his way those pretty blonde pigtails would become his new good luck charm. But Sadie wasn't going to allow him to kill Molly or shave her head. She followed Cooper as he followed Molly to school, to her house, even to her grandmother's house. He would watch her playing on the swings on the playground and riding her bike in front of her house, and all the while Sadie stalked the stalker. She'd watched him enter the coffee house though her truck's windshield. He came here almost every night at almost the exact same time, but that was the thing with serial killers. Once you knew their patterns they were all too predictable.
She watched him now as he twiddled his long bony fingers around his coffee mug and darted his eyes around the room, alighting on everything but focusing on nothing. His fingers both fascinated and disgusted Sadie. He was a big man with wide, flat features, save his hands. They were long and delicate but the protruding knuckles made them look gnarled. She remembered those hands all too well, touching her hair, sending chills up her spine.
"Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord," she repeated in order to both soothe herself and ready herself for the task at hand, for Cooper had stood up without even drinking his coffee and exited without paying. Tonight was the night, she knew it as well as he did. Tonight he would strike. He had already bought all the tools needed, observed all of Molly's habits to his sick heart's desire. For the past three days he'd done nothing but peer inside her bedroom window. There was nothing left to do, he would strike tonight.
Just as Cooper walked through the door, a man brushed by him gripping the arm of a little boy just a little too tightly.
"Come on," the man growled, giving the boy's arm a nasty yank, "I don't want to hear another word out of you. You understand?"
Cooper's jaw clenched as the unwanted memory shoved its way into his mind.
"Boy!" his father thundered, too drunk to even remember his son's name.
A much smaller Cooper with the same shaggy hair cowered in the corner of the dingy living room, knowing hiding would only make things worse. His father barreled into the room from the kitchen, beer bottle in hand, and went straight for Cooper. Then without so much as any kind of provocation or rationalization he balled up his fist and began to beat his son mercilessly while managing not to spill a single drop of beer.
Through the blows and the pain Cooper saw his little sister standing in the doorway of the living room, clutching her blanket with fear and pity in her eyes. It was the pity he despised most. How dare she even look at him when she would never know such pain. She was the precious one, the gem of the family and their father's fists never once touched her smooth pale skin. And for this he hated her more than his mother, who was disgusted when he tried to dress like a girl to free himself of beatings like his sister, and his father who beat him harder than ever when he caught sight of him in the blue dress and Mary Janes.
The memories followed him all the way to little Molly Rosenbee's house. They clung to him like spider webs; no matter how hard he tried he could not shake them. Sometimes he wished he could make the images go away, for if he could achieve that the girls would not have to die. Sometimes he wished so badly that the girls did not have to die. But tonight was not one of those times. He let the memories fuel him, so absorbed in his own twisted mind that he didn't notice the red truck following him a the perfect police regulation distance.
As Sadie drove through the pounding rain, her wipers working overtime in a frantic, mesmerizing dance before her eyes, she thought back on the night that started it all. The fire was warm and hearty, dancing merrily behind the metal grate. Her father was in his designated spot in the burgundy armchair next to the lamp, his tattered old Bible in his lap. Sadie was playing with her toy horses on the rug, trying to make the most of the ten minutes she had left until bedtime, and listening to her father read aloud from the Bible. Sadie hadn't really been paying attention that night. There was no interesting story that night. But she had heard one line, right before chaos had broken out in the quiet home, that she did pay attention too. Her father's quiet voice had grown loud and authoritative as he'd read, "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord." And that was when a strange man had jumped through the window and shot her father with a taser and then knocked him unconscious as he lay twitching on the floor.
Cooper parked the car a street away and turned around in his seat to grab his tools: a lock picking kit, a knife, duct tape, and an electric razor. It had been nearly two years since he'd had his last fix and it was seventeen years since he'd had a girl anywhere near Tennessee. Sanders had taken him out of his element, forcing him to move from state to state, waiting years between fixes, but no more. He would not allow that damned Sergeant to influence him any longer. He slammed the car door with gusto, as if proving his confidence to himself.
Sadie had her hand on the door handle, ready to leap out and tackle Cooper as he crossed the dark lawn. It was past ten now and the little girl would be asleep.
"Easy Sadie, darlin," said her father's voice inside her head, "Take your time. He'll be jumpy until he gets inside that room."
Sadie released the handle and slunk down in her seat so that all Cooper saw when he glanced behind him was an empty red truck parked on the other side of the street. She dared a peek a few moments later and saw him slip inside the window. Sadie flew out of the truck and across the lawn, hardly noticing the wind that whipped her hair against her face or the rain that soaked her skin and coat. She drew the gun as she ran. She stopped beside the window and listened.
"Don't go crying now," Cooper was saying in a flat, eerily smooth voice, "No use crying. It'll only make me mad you see."
Sadie didn't dare wait any longer. She slid in the window feet first, aimed the gun, and switched off the safety before Cooper even turned around. His dull eyes grew as wide as the eyes of the little girl who sat bound and gagged with duct tape on the bed.
At the sound of her voice and the intensity of her eyes the memory of that fateful night so many years ago came flooding back.
"I'm going to make you watch," Cooper had spat at his most hated adversary cuffed to the radiator, "I'm going to punish you for your insolence. How dare you think you understand me? How dare you think you can hunt me down like some stupid animal? I'm here to put you in your place, and I'm going to take from you the one thing you have that is of any value to you and I want you to hear and see it all."
Sanders had said nothing, only glared at him. Cooper had turned to face Sadie Mae, knife ready. The wood had been old, if only he'd known. There had been a horrible groan of metal as Sanders ripped the radiator from the wall. He had swung the radiator around and hit Cooper nearly senseless with it. He had lain sprawled on the floor, gasping for air as Sanders yelled and swung the radiator again. Cooper had barely been able to roll out of the way, but he used the momentum to spring to his feet and he'd sunk his knife deep in Sanders' belly before he could straighten up with the heavy radiator.
That was when she'd started screaming. The little green-eyed bitch had screamed so loud he'd thought his ears might bleed.
"Sadie," sputtered Sanders just before Cooper had rammed the blade into his chest, "Sadie run, honey, run!"
But she hadn't run, she'd simply gotten off the bed, looked up at Cooper with a crazed fire in her eyes, and screamed. He had no doubt that she wasn't just screaming out of fear, she was screaming because it was what her father had told her to do if she was in danger. She was screaming so that Cooper would be caught. Fear had gripped him as Sanders fell, coughing blood onto his daughter's white nightgown just before he hit the floor. That fear had remained for hours after he'd fled the house, her screaming still in his ears. And now here she was again, standing before him, her green eyes ablaze once more, but she wasn't screaming. She'd swapped her angelic nightgown for a devil red coat and she meant business. That same fear hit him once more, but this time it turned into sheer terror.
"Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord," she said, a smile curling her lips, "But I like to think I'm doing God a favor."
Cooper knew that his time was up. The bedraggled curls and the wicked green eyes of the one that got away would be the last thing he ever saw. She always did have a fire in her, that little Sadie Mae….Pop!

Great Reads: When Religion IS a Laughing Matter
Keir Graff
FEATURE. First published November 14, 2012 (Booklist Online).
Funny Books about People Who Believe and the Things They Believe In
Humor derives its power from taking risks, from navigating the fine line between That's what I think, too and Did he really say that? And nowhere is the line finer than when we joke about religious beliefs. (After all, one person's ba-da-boom is another person's blasphemy!) These funny books, both fiction and nonfiction, for adults and younger readers, are thoughtful, daring, and mostly respectful in their explorations of faith. You may agree, disagree, or be deeply offended, but if we're going to argue about life-after-death issues, isn't it better to do it after a cathartic burst of laughter?
The Accidental Buddhist: Mindfulness, Enlightenment, and Sitting Still—American Style, by Dinty W. Moore
A lapsed Catholic intrigued by Buddhism's growing Western popularity, Moore goes on retreats at Buddhist monasteries, attends sessions at zendos and meditation centers, and participates in all manner of Zen and Tibetan Buddhist events. His witty and candid take on these experiences, combined with his healthy sense of skepticism, is highly entertaining.
The Book of Dave, by Will Self
Self's darkly funny satire of organized religion, especially fundamentalism, hinges on the rantings of a London cabbie named Dave, which he prints on metal pages and buries in his former backyard after his ex-wife cuts off visitations with his son. Unearthed centuries later, The Book of Dave has become the word of truth.
Breakfast with Buddha, by Roland Merullo
When Otto Ringling's New Agey sister, Cecilia, gives her half of the family farm to her guru, a maroon-robed Mongolian monk named Volya Rinpoche—and guilts her brother into driving him there—a grumbling Otto decides to give the rotund monk a taste of American fun en route. A low-key comedy and a moving story of spiritual awakening.
Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah
Sixteen-year-old Amal, an Australian-born Muslim Palestinian, loves shopping, watches Sex and the City, and IMs her friends about her crush on a classmate. She also wants to wear the hijab to show a badge of her deeply held faith, even when it's not popular to do so. Her first-person, present-tense narrative, sometimes hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking, will connect with teens from all kinds of backgrounds.
Flunking Sainthood: A Year of Breaking the Sabbath, Forgetting to Pray, and Still Loving My Neighbor, by Jana Riess
Riess means well but readily admits she's a spiritual failure. She intends to devote an entire year to mastering 12 different spiritual challenges—but absolutely nothing turns out as planned. Although her spiritual quest falls far short, she still learns something in the process. Anyone who has failed to live up to their own expectations will find something to like about this sparkling and very funny memoir.
Hope: A Tragedy, by Shalom Auslander
Auslander, author of an audaciously funny memoir (Foreskin's Lament, 2007), has written a first novel of riotous and laceratingly irreverent satire. Solomon Kugel moves his family out of the city and into an old upstate farmhouse. All seems idyllic until Kugel discovers that a veritable Holocaust saint is living in his attic. As Kugel's life takes a turn for the antic, this cunning, controversial novel poses profound questions about meaning, justice, truth, and responsibility.
Ladies and Gentleman, the Bible! Stories, by Jonathan Goldstein
The deeply religious might be offended by Goldstein's often-raucous reimaginings of Old Testament tales, but the less devout may find themselves chuckling at the unholy hilarity of it all. Even God gets a dressing-down in a brave new biblical world that's part parable, part vaudeville: "He was . . . tough, stubborn, and prone to yelling in your face for pretty much no reason."
Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, by Christopher Moore
Jesus' best pal, Biff, has been reincarnated by the Angel Raziel to write a true gospel—the real story, in which Jesus and Biff set out to find the three magi after the betrothal of Mary Magdalene (Maggie) to Jakan the jerk. Jesus (or Josh, as Biff calls him) and Biff head east. An equal-opportunity offender, this novel pokes fun at every major religious tradition that existed in the first century—in often sidesplitting fashion.
The Last Testament: A Memoir by God, by David Javerbaum
God, who sounds here a little bit like George Burns, has written best-sellers before, but this time he's trying something new: a "telleth-all." Writing in biblical form, God muses on many things, including biblical figures (Esau was "a by-the-scroll kind of guy"), biblical events ("The Ten Plagues were an exciting time"), and even contemporary celebrities ( "I have seen Nicole Kidman Botox her hair"). Javerbaum, God's stenographer, displays both a dazzling knowledge of theology and solid comedy chops.
Man Seeks God: My Flirtations with the Divine, by Eric Weiner
A bad bout of gas lands the agnostic author in the hospital, where a nurse asks, "Have you found your God yet?" He survives the health scare but, nagged by the question, embarks on an entertaining and spiritual journey in which he explores the practices and philosophies of Sufism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Judaism, Wicca, and even a UFO-based religion. Smart and self-deprecating, Weiner manages to suspend disbelief in marvelously entertaining fashion.
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, by Rhoda Janzen
After marrying an emotionally abusive atheist who leaves her for a man he met on Gay.com, Janzen finds herself back home with her parents, reliving her strict Mennonite childhood. In this lively, compelling memoir, Janzen chronicles the patience and strong sense of humor one needs to go home again; the result is both hilarious and touching.
The Perfect Gentleman: A Muslim Boy Meets the West, by Imran Ahmad
As a Pakistani Muslim in Britain, Imran has struggled to fit into a white Christian society since childhood. In a wry, self-deprecating narrative, he details sometimes hilarious misunderstandings and failures (he does not make medical school; he does not get the gorgeous girl) but also explores essential questions about religion and culture and what it means to fit in.
Sons of the 613, by Michael Rubens
In this raunchy, riotous first-person novel, Isaac's bar mitzvah is fast approaching—and he's freaked out. His hot-tempered big brother, Josh, decides to help Isaac really become a man with tests of strength, will, and courage that fill the intervening weeks with chaos. Although there's something to offend almost everyone here, there's plenty to think about—and laugh about—as well.
There Is No Dog, by Meg Rosoff
Have you ever wondered why an omnipotent deity would let evil occur in the world? Well, in Rosoff's novel, God is a teenage boy—which explains a lot. Wildly inventive and laugh-out-loud funny, the story is told from the points of view of various characters, just one of whom is God (actually a petulant, powerful pissant named Bob). In many ways, the book's parts add up to more than its sum, but this novel, both arch and thoughtful, silly and smart, is unique in all creation.
The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible, by A. J. Jacobs
Jacobs tries for a year to observe the Bible's 700-odd rules for righteous behavior, from letting his beard grow to not shaking hands. Informally counseled throughout by a clatch of Jewish and Christian advisors, he also queries members of such strict sects as the Amish, Samaritans, and snake-handling Pentecostals. As the year progresses, he develops a serious conscience about such quotidian failings as self-centeredness, lying, swearing, and disparaging others.

Hot Chip's new single "I Feel Better," off of their new album "One Life Stand", has an awesome music video directed by Peter Serafinowicz, the star of BBC's "The Peter Serafinowicz Show."
Serafinowicz is a comedian and actor, but resigned in January from his position at BBC since they refused to continue backing his show. He stated that he would probably reapply for a position at BBC, but was pretty vague about what he was going to be doing. I guess this is what he's doing, and if you ask me, he's doing a great job of it.
The video stars Ross Lee, from that superweird Ghoulies show on Nickelodeon.
I am happy about how these two seemingly random selections turned out to make such a good video. Check it out!

Beximco Pharma is first Bangladeshi company to receive GMP Clearance from TGA Australia
--July 22, 2008
Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. ("BPL" or the "Company"), the leading Bangladeshi pharmaceutical manufacturer and exporter, is pleased to announce that it has received approval (GMP Clearance) from Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Australia for its new Oral Solid Dosage (Tablet, Capsule), and the Metered Dose Inhaler and Spray manufacturing facilities. BPL is the first Bangladeshi company to receive this regulatory approval from TGA, Australia through a stringent facility audit process. With an overall pharmaceutical market of around US 10 billion dollars, Australia is one of the richest pharmaceutical markets in the Asia-Pacific region and the 13th largest in the world. Its per capita spending on medicines is equivalent to top ranking European countries. Australia has a highly advanced healthcare system and has a substantial demand for all types of pharmaceuticals.
Australia is also one of the most highly regulated pharmaceutical markets in the world. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), a division of the Australian Department of Health and Ageing, is the regulatory body responsible for conducting assessment and monitoring activities to ensure that therapeutic goods (including medicines, medical devices, gene technology, and blood products) available in Australia are of high standard. Under Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA), TGA's Certificates of GMP Compliance are recognized by over 20 developed countries including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
Beximco Pharma CEO Mr. Nazmul Hassan said: "In our long history of more than 25 years, Beximco Pharma has always been the leader and the flagship of the Bangladesh pharmaceutical industry by setting new trends and exploring new horizons of export opportunities. In achieving GMP Clearance from a globally recognised regulatory authority like TGA Australia, BPL has crossed a very important milestone in its journey to become a global pharmaceutical company. This TGA approval puts Beximco Pharma in an elite group of manufacturers world-wide who have passed the rigorous quality standards of the Australian government, enabling the Company to manufacture and export medicines to Australia and numerous other countries in the developed world which recognise the standard."

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian Shows Off Baby Bump in a Tight Lace Jumpsuit
By Antoinette Bueno 9:11 AM PDT, August 11, 2014
It's safe to say that Kourtney Kardashian, 35, certainly has an interesting maternity style!
The oldest Kardashian sister was out to turn heads Saturday night at the Women's Health Hamptons "Party Under The Stars" event in New York, where she sported a tight-fitting, plunging white Made for Pearl lace romper.
Check Out Kim Kardashian's Outrageous Maternity Style
Kourtney was accompanied by boyfriend Scott Disick, 31, at the event, which benefitted the RUN10 FEED10 campaign. She's currently pregnant with their third child, who will join their son Mason, 5, and daughter Penelope, 2.
White jumpsuits certainly seem to be the Kardashian go-to outfit these days, with Kendall Jenner rocking a sophisticated jumpsuit at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards Sunday night in Los Angeles.
But though Kourtney and Scott certainly seemed in good spirits Saturday night, that wasn't the case on the most recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which featured Kim Kardashian stepping in to control a sloppy drunk Disick.
