This Week's Favourite Things! January 12th - January 18th 2015

1.  Still the movie Case 39, here's a brief documentary I found on youtube about the making of it which explains why it's so great.

My very most favourite part of the movie seems to be around minute 59 (spoiler alert).  I was able to find these quotes on subzin.com

Emily: "What is she?"

Lilith's 'father': "I can tell you what she's not, she's not a daughter of mine.  She's not a 10-year-old having trouble in school.  And she's not some innocent victim whose door you busted down and life you saved.  She's not going anywhere soon, lady.  Not till she's good and done with you.

Emily: "Done with me how?"

Lilith's 'father': "However she wants.  You think it's an accident her ending up with you?  She saw you coming a mile away. Kindness.  Decency.  That's what she feeds on.  Bleeds you dry, moves on to the next."

 Oh my that is some excellent script writing!

2.  Bird feeders! I cat sat for a friend who has so many feeders her yard looks like a scene from a Disney movie.  So, monkey see monkey do, now I have a couple too.  I learned that the cheap birdseed with corn isn't as delicious to native birds as black oiled sunflower seeds.  So far we've seen a bunch of chickadees, a blue jay, and a couple of woodpeckers.  Plus some starlings we shooed away so they don't get used to hanging around our fruit bushes and cherry trees.

3.  This super awesome Gregg Braden talk on youtube, "How To Control The Matrix".   It's over 3 hours long but addresses links between spirituality and science in an excellent way, including an interesting discussion of bits that got removed or condensed from the bible in the 3rd century.

4.  This entire youtube channel by Ralph Smart called "Infinite Waters - diving deep".   Youtube suggested I'd like the video on how to decalcify your pineal gland (aka third eye) and I got so hooked on this guy's cheerfulness I ended up listening to dozens of his videos while sculpting - progress pics will be coming at some point.  I thought wouldn't it be cool if he and Teal Swan did a video together and it turns out he did interview her in 2013, and the discussion they had is super interesting; here is the  video of the interview on youtube.

5.  This recipe for Crack. ... the no-bake relatively healthy coconut dessert kind - I used honey for the sweetener and threw in some cinnamon and cardamom, it was delicious.
