Combating the Commandment of Confusion: A Bibleman Live Adventure (DVD)
Combating The Commandant of Confusion: A Bibleman Live Adventure
The setting, Bible Adventure Training Academy, provides a unique interactive backdrop for the story to develop. The Commandant of Confusion and his sidekick, Chaos, use large words to confuse campers, which makes it easy for them to steal the Bible Team’s secret weapon.
Overall, I felt the story clearly conveyed the scripture lesson: “God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:33). My younger children really enjoyed the video while the older ones sort of rolled their eyes. I would definitely recommend Combating The Commandant of Confusion: A Bibleman Live Adventure

Obstacles Welcome by Ralph de la Vega
Obstacles Welcome is the story of Ralph de la Vega’s life as a young Cuban boy who came to America in the midst of uncertainty and political uproar. He parallels life’s adversities with those found in corporate business. de la Vega learned how to welcome challenges and to turn them around to his advantage. Through hard work, he became CEO of AT&T and then of Cingular Wireless.
Ralph de la Vega’s recounted description mirrors that of a transformational leader. Transformational Leadership starts with the development of a vision, a view of the future that will excite and convert potential followers. He will constantly sell the vision. This takes energy and commitment, as few people will immediately buy into a radical vision, and some will join the show much more slowly than others will. He creates trust and actually cares about his followers.
Transformational Leaders are always visible and will stand up to be counted rather than hide behind their troops. They show by their attitudes and actions how everyone else should behave. They also make continued efforts to motivate and rally their followers, constantly doing the rounds, listening, soothing and enthusing.
It is their unswerving commitment as much as anything else that keeps people going, particularly through the darker times when some may question whether the vision can ever be achieved. Ralph de la Vega displays all the characteristics of a transformational leader, which is surely, what helped him to succeed.
The book reads like a PowerPoint presentation and each chapter ends with “Takeaway Points.” If you are not interested in business or in transformational leadership, then this may not be the book for you. However, it is an easy read and definitely one that should not be overlooked.

Ruby & the Rockits
Alright folks! Those of us who grew up in the 80′s will surely appreciate the wacky getups and dancing performed by the two brothers, Patrick and David. And of course, who can forget the signature “cat crawl” performed so animatedly by Audie? This is a 10 thumbs up, wholesome family show. It is reticent of the sort of TGIF sitcoms we were spoiled on ABC. No one can forget the side splitting antics of Erkel on Family Matters, or the totally rockin’ dude, Cody, on Step-by-Step, or even Balky who came from Mypos on Perfect Strangers. Ahhh … those were the days. And guess what? They’re baaack! Yippee!
It’s no big secret that I was slated to marry teen idol Shaun Cassidy. I never had the chance to tell him, though. I faithfully watched every episode of the Hardy Boys, owned every album, and wore ANYTHING that had Shaun Cassidy’s beautiful face on it – including my satin Shaun Cassidy jacket. It was the bomb! Then I got ketchup on it from a slide (why the ketchup was there, I will never know). My aunt took it to the cleaners, and I never got that jacket back. She probably pocketed the cash, too! I was devastated.
I was also a fan of the Partridge Family, but David couldn’t hold a candle to Shaun. Not in my eyes anyway. :) But you can see the Cassidy brothers once again in a new sitcom on ABC Family.
Property of ABC Family
Ruby and The Rockits follows Patrick Gallagher, a former teen idol who has chosen to lead a quiet life with his wife Audie (herself an ex-80′s music video dancer) and two sons. But when his former Rockits band mate and brother, David, shows up unexpectedly with his new-found teenage daughter in town, the Gallagher family’s life becomes anything but normal. David, who refuses to give up his past glory days, comes to Patrick for help raising Ruby while he continues to perform. Patrick must now put the past with David behind them in order to help raise Ruby and keep order within the rest of the Gallagher clan. Ruby and The Rockits was written by former teen idol Shaun Cassidy and Ed Yeager, with teleplay by Ed Yeager. Former teen idol David Cassidy (“The Partridge Family”), his brother Patrick Cassidy (“Smallville”), Katie A. Keane, Alexa Vega (“Spy Kids”), and Austin Butler (“Zoey 101″) star in the series.

The Proposal
Sandra Bullock never ceases to impress me. However, this time it is not with her amazing range of emotion or her quick wit — it’s her rock hard abs! Yes, I am shallow – but I really want those abs! I saw an interview she gave recently and she mentioned that she cut out the carbs. She also runs, does kickboxing, Pilates, and rides her bike whenever she can.
So, her new movie, The Proposal, was as funny as the trailers portray. Margaret is a career-driven publisher. Her employees fear her and send instant messages to alert office personnel of her whereabouts. Only they refer to her as “it” or “the witch is on her broom.” She tends to look down upon others and sees herself as perfect.
Margaret is Canadian and is about to be deported, so she concocts a story about being engaged to her secretary, Andrew. To convince the immigration officer that they really do love each other, they head to Andrew’s hometown in Alaska where Margaret discovers that she does not really have a good grasp of who people really are, when she discovers that his family is wealthy.
The Paxton family welcomes Margaret and she becomes overwhelmed with emotion at their love and generosity. The movie is well worth the money! It’s a fun “go see it” night. You won’t be disappointed.
