"Young Christians Give Love to Leprosy Patients" 17 Dec 2011- 300 young people of the Jesus and Me Circle Church together with the Sea Gentiles Christian Ministry conducted their yearly "IM LAV" or I Make Love as a Verb Project. In this 2011 Christmas season, the chosen beneficiaries are the leprosy patients of Mindanao Central Sanitarium. IM LAV primarily aims to show the love of Christ to the unfortunate. The project highlighted with a preaching of God’s greatest gift for the season- Jesus Christ, some entertainment, snacks and the gifts given to the beneficiaries. More than a hundred beneficiaries were able to experience the love of Christ and from the young Christians. As youth pastor Mark Floyd Bilang tells "Love is not just a feeling, not just an idea, but we believe that it must be seen through action. It’s the key for a long lasting relationship through giving attention and caring for others" Like this young people, let us also put love into action and not merely on lip service. By God’s grace, they are able to make love as a verb. May we then ask the good Lord to grant us the heart to do the same. Segment editor: JV Bue Video editor: Sky Cable Productions

Top Christmas & Birthday Gifts

Author: Suzanne Price

There’s nothing better in life than when you spend time looking for that perfect gift for someone you love and finally find something you know they will be excited to have received. There’s just something about the expressions they make when they open their gifts and see something that perhaps they’ve always wanted, or never even expected. Christmas and birthday’s are two common occasions every year when this love for others is often expressed through the giving of gifts so of course we want to try and make the best of these rare occasions.

Babies – Girl or Boys

It’s not all that difficult to find a great baby gift. My child will even look at a bottle of of water for 15 minutes at a time, so investing heavily in items they’ll never recognize beyond the fact that they may be round or square may be a bit of overkill when buying a baby gift. Consider getting them something functional. Something like a teething baby toy, a bath toy, or maybe even a humidifier for their room. Anything that can contribute to their health and growth are great considerations.

Toddlers – 2 ½ to 4

This is when shopping for children first begins to become real fun because not only are we excited about what we’re giving them, but they’re actually just as excited for the new gifts as well! One of the most important things to remember when purchasing gifts for toddlers though is to remember to get one that is made for their age range. There’s a huge difference between a 2 year old and a 4 year old so purchasing a 2 year old a gift made for children 4 and older, is not the best of ideas. In today’s world though we have many options that were once reserved for older children. There are various educational game systems available for children as early as 2 years of age. Take a look around for items such as the LeapFrog learning systems, Vtech Smile products and FisherPrice Phonics games.

Girls – 5 to 9

Young girls between these ages are usually infatuated with numerous types of dolls. They have entire world’s all their own where their mummy, daddy and baby dolls live in doll houses and they play in the various accessories they have for them. One of the greatest gift additions you can give a little girl to add to her dolls collection are one of the exceptional dolls prams available. Dolls prams designed for young girls this age are great companions to any little girls doll collection. Dolls prams are made by various manufacturers, but the higher end ones certainly leave nothing wanting, whereas the other models surely have features missing that your little girl will love. Dolls prams can even be monographed with the girls name on them and that of course will make it all the more special for her.

Teens – Video Game Systems

Video game systems are liked by just about anyone you speak to these days, but especially by teens. You can make a teen very happy one by investing in a great new video game console system such as the Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360. Both are hits among the youth of today, but each has its own little cult following as well, so try and get an idea which side of the fence the teen prefers before selecting one. Generally speaking, Xbox lovers are opposed to even touching a Playstation, and vice versa.

Dolls prams

HUGE Thank you to Glee and their adaptation of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." I was asked to do another music video for my church since they loved the Christmas one I put together with "Give Me Your Eyes." They wanted me to do one for Easter. I had originally been in a skit at my high school that was similar to the idea I used in this video. Two years ago I want to get the whole youth together and have them perform the skit live in front of the church, but sadly that fell through. So I thought it would be a brilliant plan to make a video out of it. All the make up was done by myself. I guess working in plays and haunted houses really played off. And all editing and filming was done by myself and Jp L. My Beautiful Wonderful cast: Main Character: Jodi K. Lies/Stealing: Faith T. Alcohol: Jp L. Drugs/Murder: Josh K. Lust: Chris S.

Presents And Personalities: The Key To Success

Author: Dean Gammell

Buying presents can be one of the most difficult tasks there is. Some people seem to just have a knack for it whereas others are at a loss as to what to buy. You want to impress your recipient. The most disheartening thing to see when you have spent your hard earned cash is a disappointed face when they tear off the wrapping paper. One sure fire way to guarantee exclamations of pleasure is to buy a present which focuses on the individual’s personality.Gifts like these demonstrate your knowledge of their interests and preferences and really show the thought and effort you put into choosing them.

If someone you are buying for has obvious interest and hobbies, then you’re off to a good start. If for example they are into crime fiction, you can choose from TV crime show box sets, crime themed board games like the classic Cluedo, crime fiction books and even a historical mystery ghost tour, featuring age old crimes and clues. For the motor enthusiast consider a day package. A day at the race track driving a Ferrari perhaps or tickets to a motor event. On the cheaper side noveltygifts for him, for example, The Top Gear board game is bound to be a success.

Sport lovers would drool at the mouth if presented with tickets to a game of their preference. If you know what team a friend supports then you will easily find merchandise for that specific team. Jerseys, kits, footballs, even stationery comes emblazed with team logos these day so help your friends and loved ones show their team spirit by adding to their collection of team memorabilia.

Animal lovers and environmentalists may appreciate selflessgifts such as donations to a conservation fund. You can now sponsor endangered animals in a friend’s name. The money will be used in preserving the species and helping the said animal itself and your recipient will receive regular updates on the charity’s activities. Eco-friendly or green people may appreciate a ladybird house for their garden or a compost heap starter kit. Think outside the box…what about a worm farm; interesting AND beneficial to the environment. Another touching and very unique gift is having a flower named after your loved one.

For musical mates, nothing would go down better than concert tickets. If these are out of your budget then look around for merchandise, for e.g. a t-shirt with their favourite band on. If you shop online this sort of stuff is very easy to come by. Why not treat them to a day out at a recording studio, which includes their very own demo tape to take home with them.

For older friends and loved ones,gifts tend to be more understated. Think CLASSIC. How about a replica Roberts radio for your Gran, or an old record player for your Gramps. These vintagegifts will remind them of their youth and put a sparkle in their eyes. Cheaper alternatives are retro sweets, widely available and ranging from the 60′s right through to the 90′s.

Last but not least….the awkward ones. The people who have everything! What do you do? Well in this case you really have to think hard. You need something unique and personal, and what says you care more than their very own star. Yes, that’s right you can now purchase a star for your loved one. You will receive the exact co-ordinates of the star so you can view it by telescope and an official certificate of ownership. On the cheaper side you can choose practical but personalisedgifts such as calendars, with their photos within or themes they like. Other practicalgifts for him or her available for personalising are mugs, key rings, photo frames and cuddly toys. The more personal you make it, the more it will mean to the recipient.Armed with the correct information you cannot go wrong.

Novelties For Nanas On Their Birthdays

Author: Dean Gammell

Our nanas are so special to all of us. We all remember how much they spoiled us as kids and their famous recipes remain popular with us all our lives. Our Nanas are responsible for making our parents the people they are today and when your nana’s special birthday comes round show her how much you care. It is very easy to fall back on the old reliable such as a box of chocolate, matching tea towels or some Yardley perfume and she will no doubt accept thesegifts graciously but being honest not only are they boring but predictable. Don’t our nanas deserve better? Of course they do which is why this year it’s time to show your nana how special she really is.

Some of the most populargifts for her (and him) nowadays are personalisedgifts. Pretty much anything you can think of can be personalised and it takes minimal effort. Something bearing the recipient’s name or an affectionate message will mean so much more than a standard generic gift.

For a nana who is a whizz in the kitchen why not buy her a personalised apron. This can bear her own name on the front or a catchy title such as “Glamorous Granny.” It can also be accompanied by matching oven gloves or tea towels bearing the same text which she will love.

If it is a big birthday then why not splash out on a photo book. These high quality and glossy books can be printed chock-a-block with family photos from over the years and even cheeky references to her youth. You can collect images on bands or musicians she may have liked in her youth or famous old film stars. Perhaps she has a favourite poem? Anything can be printed in these books and they can be made as big or small as you wish making them the perfectgifts for any occasion.

If you like the photo theme but can’t quite afford a photo book then why not select a beautiful family photo and present it to your nana in a personalised photo frame engrave with a message of your choice. You can be sure this gift will take pride of place on her mantelpiece forever.

If the kids want to get something for good old great-grandma, then there are plenty of personalisedgifts suitable for piggy bank budgets. They could put their photo in a paperweight, snow globe or key ring and Nana will love the sentiment and yet another opportunity to display her family proudly.

If you wish to purchase some noveltygifts, retro sweets are sure to go down a treat. You nana will just love reminiscing on her childhood whilst rifling through a hamper full of memorable goodies. For an injection of humour why not purchase an inflatable Zimmer frame or walking stick.Gifts like these will get the whole family laughing including dear Nana!

When it comes to your nana the most important thing is to spend time with her. Nothing will please her more than to have all her family around her on her special day so throw your nana a party, give her a break from the kitchen and wow her with the personalised gifts for her she is bound to adore.

Scrap Book Ideas as Collections or Gifts

Author: Daljit kaur

Many times at auctions, or estate sales, a box of books will turn up a real treasure, like a scrapbook that was kept by someone in their youth and sometimes through their adulthood. The book could be 50 or 60 years old, and a source of great fun to look at the pictures, news clippings, and personal mementoes.

The hobby of keeping such collections is enjoying a resurgence of popularity, with people of all ages finding new and inventive ways to record special events or occasions in their lives. Scrapbooking ideas for kids can be very basic to start with, because once they catch on to the fun, they’ll start developing their own sense of style and preference for decorating.

A scrapbook with reasonable quality paper makes a great special occasion gift for a child, along with glue, scissors, and perhaps a simple book on creating your own special treasure trove of memories.

Give them a start on their hobby by helping with the first entry, to celebrate the occasion such as a birthday. Cover a page in the gift paper that the book was wrapped in, and then tape or glue a photo of them in the center of the page. A package of 2” x 4” white labels is a handy part of any scrapbooking package, as they provide a clear area to put text, and can be stuck over top of an older label with outdated information. This is a handy way of adding your caption or comments to highly decorated pages.

Colored pencils, crayons, markers, and other artistic tools will also contribute to their enjoyment, as they use them to enhance a page with a photo of their new puppy, by drawing bones, mailmen, balls, and other doggy subjects around the picture.

Scrapbooking ideas for kids are only limited by their imagination in what they collect and use, from photos, to news clippings, souvenir programs from concerts, hair ribbons, ticket stubs from movies and more. They can even make mini scrapbooks of things like a visit to Grandma’s, and give it to her as a Christmas present.

History of English Music Hall and Variety Theatre

Author: Paul hussey

As a child my first memory of visiting a theatre was at the Kings Theatre, Southsea in 1969 to see a Christmas Pantomine called Puss N’ Boots. This opened up a whole new world and since, I have been to the theatre many times. One of the best shows I have seen was in London’s West end to see a Musical play about Sir Winston Churchill. The Special effects and drama was brilliant and Robert Hardy who played Winnie was excellent.

Music hall and Variety Theatre was popular entertainment that featured successive acts by singers, comedians, dancers, and actors. The form derived from the taproom concerts given in city taverns in England in the 18th–19th centuries.

To meet the demand for entertainment for the working class, tavern owners often annexed nearby buildings as music halls, where drinking and smoking were permitted. The originator of the English music hall as such was Charles Morton, who built Morton’s Canterbury Hall (1852) and Oxford Hall (1861) in London. Leading performers included Lillie Langtry, Harry Lauder (1870–1950), and Gracie Fields. Music halls evolved into larger, more respectable variety theatres, such as London’s Hippodrome and the Coliseum. Variety acts combined music, comedy acts, and one-act plays and featured celebrities such as Sarah Bernhardt and Herbert Tree.

Before Music Hall was given its name, similar types of entertainment would have been going on for many centuries. In essence, Music Hall brought together a variety of different acts which together formed an evening of light hearted entertainment.

The origins of Music Hall are found in a number of institutions which provided entertainment in the populous towns and cities of Britain in the 1830s. These were:

- The backroom of the pub, where simple sing-songs gave way to the singing saloon concert.
- Popular theatre, sometimes in pub saloons but mainly at travelling fairs.
- Song & Supper Rooms, where more affluent middle class men would enjoy a night out on the town.
- The Pleasure Gardens, where entertainment became more low brow as the years passed.

By the 1850s, the tavern landlords had moved the entertainment function of pubs into purpose built halls; these new premises still retaining the traditional ambience of the inn. The format of the evening was unchanged: a chairman would introduce song and dance acts onto a simple stage, whilst trying to keep order with a gavel. In all cases, eating, drinking and smoking continued throughout the performances.

The audience, often exuberant with alcohol, both heckled and joined in with their favourite songs and performers.The growth of the Halls was rapid and spread across Britain with the first great boom in the 1860s, so that by 1870, 31 large halls were listed in London and 384 in the rest of the country. This growth was not only in the number of halls, but also in the amenities and catering facilities. In addition, performers now became a professional workforce, appearing in London at several Halls each night and making frequent provincial tours.

At its peak, music hall was the television of its day. Its stars were enormously popular in a way it is hard to believe nowadays. They had their songs specially written for them, and permission would have to be sought if other performers wanted to sing them in public.

After consolidation during the 1870s, music hall then started another period of expansion. The London Pavilion was restyled in 1885 and incorporated much from traditional theatre’s ideas of house and stage design. This lead to the era of the de-luxe hall or Variety theatre. Now there was fixed seating in the stalls and the performer was more distant from the audience. With the increase in costs from the introduction of safety regulations and the inflation of the star’s fees, the music hall industry began to combine into a number of Syndicates. A number of nationwide chains such as Moss, Stoll and Thornton with their “Empires” and “Palaces” started to dominate the business.

Changes to licensing laws made a music and dancing licence a requirement. This allowed moral and social reformers the opportunity to challenge the style and operation of the halls; most notable in this respect was Mrs Ormiston Chant who campaigned against lax morals in the Empire, Leicester Square. Later, there was the prohibition of drink in all new halls such that by 1909, of the 29 halls belonging to Stoll, only 8 held a drinks licence.

With just a few proprietors controlling the majority of the halls, the owners attempted to extract the maximum work for minimum pay from the performers. This lead to the formation of the Variety Artists’ Federation, which in 1907 organised the first music hall strike. In 1912, music hall gained a level of respectability with the first Royal Command Performance.

The London County Council, after a series of fires in theatres and music halls finally banned eating and drinking in the auditorium in 1914. From that time, the music halls simply had to be run on the same lines as theatres. After this, music hall became known by its earlier name of Variety and, with the coming of cinema and later radio, became extinct by the time of World War II.

As far as sound recording goes, a convenient watershed is the year 1925 when the electrical recording process was first commercially introduced, making obsolete the previous mechanical “acoustic” recordings. In W. Macqueen-Pope’s book The Melody lingers on he attempts to give the difference between Music Hall and Variety. “Music Hall”, he states, “was Variety (although Variety is not Music Hall).” This shows the difficulty of any definition, although one can understand what he means. On this site, we have used the term “Variety” for recordings made after 1925, and Music Hall where Artists bridged both methods of recording.

Although generally regarded as a particularly British institution,one other countriy namely  the USA, also have a music hall tradition. In America vaudeville developed on parallel lines to music hall in Britain.

Attempts have been made at revival in Britain, both in the 1930s and on British television in the 1960′s to 1970′s with “The Good Old Days” which has been something of a pastiche. Unfortunately, sound recording came too late for most of very first generation of artists, for example George Leybourne. However, at the turn of the 19th/20th century a number of survivors such as Dan Leno, as well as younger artists, started to make recordings. Initially these were very expensive (typically you could buy twelve of the best seats in the house for the price of one record), but with time, prices fell and these records eventually became more affordable by typical music hall clientele.

Over the first three decades of the 20th century many artists committed their songs and performance to record, and these can still be heard and enjoyed today.

Music hall and variety died in the mid fifties with the arrival of Rock n Roll which attracted the youth of Britain. The previous clientele were the mums and dads which lost the habit of going to Music Hall and Variety shows and by the time of the 1960′s the end was nigh.

In the modern era the West End in London is the theatre centre of the world and has become a mixture of acting greats from the Movie World and Theatreland. In 1994 Shakespeare’s The Globe Theatre was rebuilt and is now one of the most popular theatres in London.

All About NFL Merchandise Jerseys

Author: Scott White

Millions of young football fans cherish the idea of wearing the NFL clothing representing their favorite National Football League team. What keeps many from that dream is the price. Some NFL merchandise is pricey, particularly good quality jerseys. Many are being sold for hundreds of dollars, and the higher the quality, or rarer the item, the higher the price. Of course, there are cheap knockoffs of authentic NFL merchandise, however most young football fans will tell you quickly that these simply aren’t what they want. They want clothing that looks good, and something close to a real NFL jersey. The NFL brand carries a lot of weight with them.

Of course some NFL jerseys sold in retail outlets or online aren’t the real thing. If you’ve seen a real NFL jersey hanging on a wall in a football pub, you know how huge they are. Two people can fit comfortably into them. The jerseys were design for large men wearing even larger shoulder pads. Only the quarterbacks and kickers have shoulder pads that are comparatively smaller than the well padded ones that linebackers wear.

For small children however, a real NFL jersey is too heavy with designs that are too detailed for the child to appreciate. Kids like it simple and comfortable and they won’t appreciate an authentic NFL jersey so there’s no point in wasting money on it. A kids jersey needs to be made of a softer material with stitching that won’t cause itching and chafing. You can buy authentic NFL kids clothing online at an NFL shop. Many people buying sports jerseys or receiving them as Christmas gifts discover that they’re perhaps made for pickup football at the local park and not as casual wear.

Many NFL jerseys are purchased as collector’s items. An authentic team jersey signed by a well known National Football League star can fetch a good price at auction. Most recently, throw back jerseys have become popular. These have the designs, colors and team logos from year’s long past. You may even have throwback jerseys signed by former popular players like John Riggins, Jim Marshall, Dwight Clarke, Terry Bradshaw, Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, Ken Stabler, Fran Tarkenton, and even coaches such as Mike Ditka.

NFL Merchandise is a very popular Christmas gift item. Sports fans appreciate these collectibles, particularly those that are unique. Sports Bars often lacking in decor ideas, are perfect locations for framed football jerseys. Nothing makes a better statement for your sports bar than the appearance of a signed NFL jersey up on the wall. You might want to have a jersey handy and ask a pro player to pay your bar a visit. Have them sign the Jersey. Then you’ve got a collectible that can impress your football fan patrons.

Baseball Caps for Football Fans

Another in-demand type of NFL merchandise is baseball caps with the various team NFL logos on them. It’s probably the least expensive way to adorn yourself with an NFL branded logo. Some merchandise manufacturers make NFL caps that have a rubber fan face built into it. Besides being a fun way to show you’re fan fanatic, it might help keep you warm on cold game days in these coming months.

For the rabid NFL or college football fan, an impressive Christmas gift is a headwig, or rubber fan face for wearing at parties or the game. And the price of this fanwear is great. For less than twenty dollars, you have some authentic NFL merchandise with the fan’s favorite colors and logo on it. Other items carried at an NFL shop are oversized inflatable footballs. These are a lot of fun for backyard play and take a lot of the seriousness out of the game. You can never have too much fun. For your car, you might want to block the Sun’s UV rays from your kids in the backseat. It doesn’t hurt to have a Steelers logo, or Jets logo, or Raider’s logo on it as well. Show your team pride.

The most popular teams for fan merchandise aren’t always what you’d expect. Fans in certain cities are very loyalty and spirited and they are more likely to get into the culture of football and adorn themselves with NFL branded clothing. Some of the more highly sought team merchandise is that of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Merchandise sales for the Steelers rose strongly after their recent win at the Superbowl.

Other teams that sell a lot of NFL merchandise are the Seattle Seahawks, Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers. To find an NFL teams merchandise check online via Google or Yahoo. You’ll find Chicago Bears Merchandise available at NFL.com or via the Bears official web site, and there are other NFL shops that offer official Chicago Bears merchandise. From collectibles to wearables, there are plenty of gift ideas for Christmas 2006. Stats show that fan interest in NFL football has continued to climb.

Theme Based Halloween Parties

Author: Benjamin Hutch

Halloween is a great time to throw a party and let everyone join in the fun. These parties can be held in office as a means to break the usual monotony or they could be done at home over a weekend. There are several Halloween themes that you can choose from. Consequently all your guests will have to dress in accordance with the theme that you have selected.

Simple themes to select would be that of a haunted house where all the guests can dress as some of the elements that constitute the house. Your décor can include spider webs, ugly creatures hidden in crevices and even make-believe spider webs. Another great theme for parties is graveyards and mausoleums. Your guests could come as skeletons, vampires, bats or even the graveyard caretaker. Your décor could include eerie music, dulled lights, tombstone cut-outs and even an empty box that is made out to look like a coffin.

If you want a lighter theme, then you could through a party of the Victorian era or you could have a rave party of the 70s’. Your music, invitations and even your food and cutlery could all match the theme of your party. Halloween theme parties can largely be classified into adult parties and kiddie parties.

If you are throwing a theme party for adults, then an interesting idea would be to ask guests to come dressed as couples. For those already together it would be a great way to show their togetherness. For those who are single, this would be a good way to interact and find someone to partner with. You could always play cupid in between. Some great couple ideas would be Tom and Jerry, Tarzan and Jane and even Romeo and Juliet.

Another idea to liven up a party would be to ask couples to cross dress. Let them come as couples but with their dresses interchanged. It takes a bit of guessing to figure out who is dressed as whom. If blood and gore is more of what your friends’ circle likes, then you could have a Monster party where everyone comes as their favorite monster. Or better yet, you could have a Living Dead party or a Vampire convention.

Children’s Halloween theme parties of course have to be on the lighter side. How about throwing Alice in Wonderland’s tea party with the Mad Hatter? Another good idea is to sound out with all the children invited on what is their favorite cartoon show and accordingly set a theme where everyone gets to dress as a character they like. It could be Sesame Street, Winnie the Pooh and the 100 acre wood, Ben 10. Kids are bound to have a lot of fun.
