Anyone seen this movie about the failure of the U.N. in Rwanda?

Saw it on DVD last night and its heartbreaking!

Tribal Africa and the barbarity that happens with a powerless international force that leaves you gob-smacked at their apparent methods to 'keep peace'.

It's based on a true event and filmed in the location - mindblowing!

Just enough time before I dash off to start this weeks quiz

Who wore the first "milk moustache" in the famous ad campaign launched in the mid 1990s by U.S. dairy farmers and milk processors?

Today is THE day isn't it? Best of luck! :luck:

Have a great day and enjoy!

As some of you may know we run our own Fantasy League Football game which is linked to http://fantasy.premierleague.com

this game attracts 1,013,208 players from around the World and quite incredibly after this weekend's points scoring Pronkertjie with her team called The Sunflowers has risen to 11th overall.

Whereas we do not expect Pronkertjie to maintain such a high level, it is quite incredible to see her in 11th spot out of 1 million plus people

Well done

Yesterday I was invited round to some friends for a braai. There were quite a few of us there & we ended up playing a Play station game called "Buzz". It's really good. Has anyone else played this game? It's brilliant. I am looking forward to playing it again. It's definately a game for all music lovers.

The number in barckets is the number of annual visitors in millions.

Thanx to the Duck for this article :thumbs:

Quote:There's a name for the music that people hate to admit they love. Alexa Moses and Richard Jinman report.

YOU'RE sitting in a pub with four empty glasses in front of you when Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart comes on the jukebox. As a discerning student of pop culture you know you should frown and point out that it was written by Jim " Bat Out of Hell" Steinman, and is a particularly bombastic example of the '80s big-hair ballad.

Sadly, you do none of this because you are too busy screaming the words "Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart" and waving your arms above your head in slow motion. Something resembling tears are rolling down your cheeks.

This phenomenon has been identified as guilty pleasure syndrome, a condition which causes sufferers to publicly disavow a song such as Walk Like an Egyptian, but adore it in the privacy of the bedroom, living room or front bar.

This week, the British music magazine Q published a list of Britain's top 50 guilty pleasures. It kicks off with Livin' Thing, by ELO, continues with Status Quo's Whatever You Want and embraces Boston's More Than a Feeling. Are you feeling guilty yet?

In London, those afflicted by guilty pleasure syndrome can find some relief at a club night called, wait for it, Guilty Pleasures. Sean Rowley, the DJ who invented the club night, told The Guardian his No.1 guilty pleasure is 10CC's Dreadlock Holiday, but he also rates Dolly Parton's 9 to 5, Maneater by Hall and Oates and Neil Diamond's Love on the Rocks.

Australians are as prone to guilty pleasures as anyone. The ABC radio announcer Maynard has made a career out of playing the music that people hate to admit they love.

"It's like anything daggy, really," he says.

"People are pretty shameful about it at first, but then it's like dag group therapy. Once everyone gets together and admits it, they don't feel as guilty. The pleasure gets greater and the guilt gets less."

Alcohol is the magic ingredient. As the evening wears on and the empty bottles begin to stack up, there is more and more appetite for songs such as Love is in the Air, Wind Beneath My Wings, Total Eclipse of the Heart and Slice of Heaven by Dave Dobbyn.

"Many of these songs have a belting quality," says Maynard. "They're power ballads and you can belt them out in a confined space such as a car or a shower."

The Triple J radio announcer Robbie Buck is a true believer in the power of guilty pleasure.

"I think if you get too serious about your music, you're not covering your bases," he says. "Music snobs really bore me."

Buck says the US metal band Tool once admitted to him that they were big fans of Michael Jackson. "Although that's not so guilty," he observes. The presenter's own guilty pleasures are Popcorn by Hot Butter, Duran Duran's Planet Earth, and ABC's The Lexicon of Love.

"And Olivia Newton John's Physical," he adds. "I love that bit in the song where she says, 'Let's get animal!"'

pring: People who dream the Lord's kind of dreams are few and far between these days. That is why there are a number of vacancies in his heavenly dream team. The dream team is a small group of people that dream big dreams about God's latest plans for the world, the church and their own lives! Take Joseph, for instance. His big dreams changed the lives of many people in the end. From when he was small he started dreaming of the day he would become known as an important figure (Genesis 37). Unfortunately, Joseph made one big mistake: he shared his dreams with his dream-dead brothers who lived in nightmare land. Therefore, they were not impressed with his dreams for the future, and the price that he paid for sharing them was slavery in Egypt.

The Lord has a dream team to this day
To this very day, the Lord shares his heavenly dreams with ordinary people. Can you recall Joel's great promise that elderly people would dream dreams again and that young people would see visions? And it did come true on the day of Pentecost, didn't it? (Acts 2:17.) From that day onwards the Lord's winds of change reached gale-force strength. Dream-dead people and nightmare dreamers therefore no longer have any excuse. To this day, the Lord guides his dream team, in surprising ways, in the right direction.

God's dream team live out their dreams
Joseph, the expert dreamer in God's dream team, did not allow his dreams to remain sleep-time experiences. On the contrary, he based the hours that he was awake on that which God had told him in his dreams. God's voice was his only compass. Because he had this assurance he could keep to God's course without fear even when he ended up as a slave in Potiphar's house in Egypt (Genesis 39:1-6). Not even the flamboyant Egyptian gods could get this young man to budge one centimetre from his God's course. Although he was a stranger and all alone in a foreign country, he lived his God-given dreams!

What an example to South African believers trying to build a new life in places such as Atlanta, Dubai, Brisbane or Hamilton! Learn from Joseph never ever to betray your faith, especially not when you live in a foreign country. If you live in South Africa, learn from Joseph to pursue your God-given dreams. The worst that can happen is not that a few of your dreams may not come true, but that you don't dream at all, OR that you don't have the courage to pursue your dreams in the Name of Christ!

Heavenly dreams may cross your path in unexpected places
One fine day, Potiphar's wife tried to seduce Joseph, but he refused her knowing that he would have to pay the price. She was livid and spread the lie that he had tried to rape her, and he was sentenced to two years imprisonment in an Egyptian jail (Genesis 39:7-20). However, the Lord stretched out his merciful hand to Joseph, his faithful servant, in jail (Genesis 39:21-23). Yes, indeed, God's dream children experience his unfaltering love in the most unexpected places. He takes them from their nightmarish situations and puts them down in green pastures, and He lets others around them experience his heavenly grace too.

Joseph did not know where the road of the Lord would take him. He did not have the faintest idea how his childhood dreams would be realised in jail. However, he did not lose heart and clung to his great God bravely. It is no wonder that God used him in jail in a powerful way. Here, Joseph continued dreaming, and also interpreted the dreams of others, for instance the baker and the cupbearer (Genesis 40:6-23).

God is good to his dream team
In his own way and at the right time, God showers his dream team with heavenly glory. People who pursue God's dreams may never seek self-recognition. Take the example of Joseph – after two years in jail he was asked to interpret the pharaoh's dreams (Genesis 41), after which, out of the blue, he was showered with great praise and honour. In a wink, his status changed from a jailbird to the viceroy of Egypt. God raised him to this position so that He could use his faithful servant powerfully to reign over the Egyptians with wisdom and to be good to his own family (Genesis 42-50). At last Joseph lived out the incredible dream that he had been dreaming since his childhood! God had made it happen, and he was where God had always wanted him to be!

Be courageous: Pursue your dreams! Live them! Do not be afraid. Dream big and trust God to make your dream come true as only He can. Measure your dreams against the Word of God and fulfil them according to his will. Persevere in following his heavenly dream-course, even though everyone around you is living in nightmare land. pring:

PRAYER
Lord, teach me to dream again.

Grant me the ability to foresee anew

the great plans you have for your world.

Guide me to live out your heavenly dreams.

Pray, may I never sleep through my dreams!

For Thy Name's sake,

Amen.
