A double bill of CGI chipmunk madness. 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' (2007) is a live action, big screen outing for everyone's favourite Chipmunks - Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Discovered and adopted by struggling songwriter Dave Seville (Jason Lee), the dynamic trio decide to join forces and embark on a singing career, performing Dave's songs. When success beckons however, unscrupulous record company boss Ian Hawke (David Cross) decides that he could make a lot more money from the boys if Dave was out of the picture. In the sequel 'Alvin and the Chipmunks 2' (2009), when Alvin (voice of Justin Long), Simon (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Theodore (Jesse McCartney) are forced to put aside their music superstardom and go back to school, they are given the challenge of saving the school's music department by winning the $25,000 prize in a battle of the bands. But the Chipmunks unexpectedly meet their match in three singing female chipmunks known as The Chipettes: Brittany (Anna Faris), Eleanor (Amy Poehler) and Jeanette (Christina Applegate). Romantic and musical sparks fly in the face off that ensues between The Chipmunks and The Chipettes.
The Chipmunks take to the high seas for this second animated comedy adventure sequel. When their luxury liner becomes grounded on a remote island during a tropical cruise, the Chipmunks soon discover their secluded paradise is not as deserted as it seems. As they struggle to contend with the heat, the insects and the close proximity to one another, the Chipmunks begin to develop a few very strange personality traits.
"An extremely useful parenting handbook... truly outstanding ...
strongly recommended." "A tremendous resource for parents and professionals
alike." The adoption of a child is always a joyous moment in the life of a family. Some adoptions, though, present unique challenges. Welcoming these children into your family--and addressing their special needs--requires care, consideration, and compassion. Written by two research psychologists specializing in adoption and attachment, "The Connected Child" will help you: Build bonds of affection and trust with your adopted child Effectively deal with any learning or behavioral disorders Discipline your child with love without making him or her feel threatened "A must-read not only for adoptive parents, but for all families
striving to correct and connect with their children." "Drs. Purvis and Cross have thrown a life preserver not only to
those just entering uncharted waters, but also to those struggling
to stay afloat." "Truly an exceptional, innovative work . . . compassionate,
accessible, and founded on a breadth of scientific knowledge and
clinical expertise." ""The Connected Child" is the literary equivalent of an airline
oxygen mask and instructions: place the mask over your own face
first, then over the nose of your child. This book first assists
the parent, saying, in effect, 'Calm down, you're not the first mom
or dad in the world to face this hurdle, breathe deeply, then
follow these simple steps.' The sense of not facing these issues
alone--the relief that your child's behavior is not off the
charts--is hugely comforting. Other children have behaved this way;
other parents have responded thusly; welcome to the community of
therapeutic and joyful adoptive families."
This title was first published in 2000: In their stunning simplicity, George Romney's portraits of eighteenth-century gentry and their children are among the most widely recognised creations of his age. A rival to Reynolds and Gainsborough, Romney was born in 1734 on the edge of the Lake District, the landscape of which never ceased to influence his eye for composition and colour. He moved in 1762 to London where there was an insatiable market for portraits of the landed gentry to fill the elegant picture galleries of their country houses. Romney's sitters included William Beckford and Emma Hart, later Lady Hamilton. An influential figure, one of the founding fathers of neo-classicism and a harbinger of romanticism, Romney yearned to develop his talents as a history painter. Countless drawings bear witness to ambitious projects on elemental themes which were rarely executed on canvas. Richly illustrated, this is the first biography of Romney to explore the full diversity of his oeuvre. David A. Cross portays a complex personality, prone to melancholy, who held himself aloof from London's Establishment and from the Royal Academy, of which Sir Joshua Reynolds was President, and chose instead to find his friends among that city's radical intelligentsia.

"Illustrated with over 180 photographs, this book presents two generations of railway photography of the southwest of Scotland. The two 20-year periods of 1960-80 and 2001-21 were chosen because the former covers the changeover years from steam to diesel, and the latter covers privatisation, electrification, a range of very colourful trains and a reawakening of the rail network in the southwest after the downward trend during the last years of BR. The book amply illustrates the lines from Glasgow to Gretna down the Ayrshire and Inverclyde coast to Stranraer, along with the former Glasgow and South Western line through Kilmarnock and Dumfries. In addition, many of the branches and minor routes are also catered for. Exploring the region through the decades, this book is an invaluable source of reference for railway enthusiasts interested in the railways of the southwest of Scotland."
Derek Cross was one of a group of outstanding railway photographers, who mostly took pictures during the steam and early modern traction era, 1950s and 1960s. David Cross his son, has inherited his extensive collection of black & white and colour material, which has many unpublished images. This book covers the Southern from the last days of the Southern Railway through to British Railways days in the mid 1960s, when steam was on the way out. This is the first book that covers the Derek Cross Southern photographs, which date from the late 1940s through to the end of Southern Region steam and as such, features some very rare locations, unusual liveries and long extinct classes of locomotive. The author has carefully selected some rare and unusual pictures for this volume, which will be of interest and use to both railway historians and modellers.

Among the many different approaches to "templating" with Perl--such as Embperl, Mason, HTML:: Template, and hundreds of other lesser known systems--the Template Toolkit is widely recognized as one of the most versatile. Like other templating systems, the Template Toolkit allows programmers to embed Perl code and custom macros into HTML documents in order to create customized documents on the fly. But unlike the others, the Template Toolkit is as facile at producing HTML as it is at producing XML, PDF, or any other output format. And because it has its own simple templating language, templates can be written and edited by people who don't know Perl. In short, the Template Toolkit combines the best features of its competitors, with ease-of-use and flexibility, resulting in a technology that's fast, powerful and extensible, and ideally suited to the production and maintenance of web content and other dynamic document systems. In "Perl Template Toolkit" you'll find detailed coverage of this increasingly popular technology. Written by core members of the technology's development team, the book guides you through the entire process of installing, configuring, using, and extending the Template Toolkit. It begins with a fast-paced but thorough tutorial on building web content with the Template Toolkit, and then walks you through generating and using data files, particularly with XML. It also provides detailed information on the Template Toolkit's modules, libraries, and tools in addition to a complete reference manual. Topics in the book include: Getting started with the template toolkit The Template language Template directives Filters Plugins Extending the TemplateToolkit Accessing databases XML Advanced static web page techniques Dynamic web content and web applications The only book to cover this important tool, "Perl Template Toolkit" is essential reading for any Perl programmer who wants to create dynamic web content that is remarkably easy to maintain. This book is your surefire guide to implementing this fast, flexible, and powerful templating system.
The Bible shows us that God has an answer to depression, which is today's most common human disorder in terms of the number of people affected worldwide. Through the healing ministry of Jesus, it's possible to explore the roots of this debilitating disease and then to travel with Him on a journey of freedom. Thankfully, the medical profession is gaining increasing understanding in how to alleviate the symptoms of depression, but only God can bring restoration to the deep spiritual dysfunction in our lives which frequently lies at the heart of medical disorders. This book incorporates testimonies from ten people, with very different life stories, describing their miraculous healing journey out of major depression, and we see that their experiences affirm the keys given to us in the Bible for pursuing God's restoration of His created order in our lives. This book does not advocate a technique for healing but seeks to point the reader towards powerful biblical principles which can open the door to God's way out of depression
Is the concept of universal human rights in agreement with the Bible? This book says that the answer to that question is quite simply no. It is actually a man-conceived ideology which is relentlessly promoted these days, no doubt by well-meaning people, but it exists without any divine endorsement, from a biblical point of view. At best it is a useful tool for giving a voice to those who are truly oppressed in this troubled world, but it will not give them a lasting solution. Any justice system which prioritises the claiming of rights, rather than the acknowledgement of wrongdoing, is much more likely to create conflict in society than to settle it. The foundational, sometimes called inalienable, human rights discussed in this book are assumed to belong to everyone, simply by virtue of their being born human. The Bible is absolutely clear in affirming that every human being has inalienable value, but God nowhere infers that He has given any rights to humankind except those that come through a covenant relationship with Him. This book claims that today's increasingly fervent belief in the concept of human rights, not least in the area of sexual rights, is best described as a man-made religion, and therefore a false religion.

This is not a guidebook, though I hope it gives the reader some ideas on places worth seeing, accommodation worth considering, and decent restaurants worth dining in. It does not normally give a list of possible places to stay (only places I have experienced myself being included), but at the end of each chapter, there will be a "Practicalities" page containing the following: 1 Useful websites on places, maps, and transport. In general, sites relevant to more than one chapter will be found the first time they are relevant and are referenced in later chapters. 2 Accommodation on these pages will be only where I have stayed. I go for cheaper places when I travel alone, although I nearly always choose en-suite rooms as I got older, and moderately cheap when I went with Pam. In general, absence of comment means it is OK, bearing this in mind. 3 Restaurants are only mentioned on these pages if they are particularly good, either absolutely or in terms of value for money-or if definitely not recommended. 4 Must-sees appear in the chapters themselves but will be summarised on these pages. The index is based on my historic fury at finding pages, only to get a totally uninformative mention of the place in passing. Text (normal print) references are meant to show the first or only page with information about the place. Those planning holidays may find it more helpful to go immediately to pages shown in italic print, where they will often find helpful URLs. I have checked all the multitude of URLs in this book in February 2012, inserting a lot of new ones in place of dead sites. Occasionally my comments on a site may be a bit dodgy now, but there are some great sites here. I'm not sure how I overcame temptation to spend ages just looking at some!

Many forms of alternative therapies are available today and this book provides fascinating coverage of what they are with clear guidelines on how spiritually safe or unsafe they might be. The authors point to the early history and principles of alternative healing methods that enlighten the reader to the spiritual origins of new age healing practices. Many of these practices, including reflexology, yoga and acupuncture, to name just a few, have seen a rise in popularity even amongst some Christians. But are these healing practices spiritually safe and what are the consequences? This book highlights the dangers and provides positive steps to take in the right direction towards true wholeness and well- being in our lives. It will help those who have been involved in alternative therapies and want to free themselves from its effects. This book is part of Sovereign World's 'Truth & Freedom' series based on the renowned teaching program from Ellel Ministries International.
How to Find Freedom Control can be godly or ungodly, depending on whose authority is in place. It's harmful to us when it undermines our freedom to choose what is right. For many of us, the Lordship of Jesus is continually being challenged by ungodly controls that come from people, past and present situations, and even from within ourselves - fear being one of the key issues. The enemy is seductive and deceptive. His primary aim is to gain control through our sinful beliefs and behaviors. When control is not in the hands of God it's in the hands of the kingdom of darkness. Wrongful control spoils relationships and seriously damages lives. This book takes a closer look at how and why people control. Controlling behavior is always a symptom of a deeper issue; it's a sinful response to inner wounding and insecurity. As God reveals the roots of control we can choose to forgive those who have hurt us and receive His comfort, His acceptance and His healing at a deep level. This book is therefore ideal for those who want to understand ungodly control in their own lives or in others and find the keys to walking in freedom. This book is part of Sovereign Word's 'Truth & Freedom' series based on the renowned teaching program from Ellel Ministries International.

God's covering is an expression which describes the spiritual protection and nurture which God provides for all those who are in a covenant relationship with Him. You cannot see His covering but you can certainly experience the effect which it has. Without Jesus, the world cannot truly understand God's covering but all of mankind desperately needs it Outside this shelter, men and women are vulnerable to a hostile spiritual realm which governs this world and all those who remain in rebellion to the One who created them. Covering is a principle which not only helps to explain the reason for so much dysfunction in the condition of man, but also gives more understanding of God's wonderful plan for restoration. This book seeks to explain the reality of spiritual exposure when we are out of God's order, and how this has had an inevitable consequence on our health and well-being. Thankfully, there is also a precious truth of God's plan for the re-covering of damaged lives through Jesus. Praying for healing for ourselves, or for others, can be entered into with more confidence as we have a growing assurance of God's unwavering desire to cover us, where there has been sin, wounding and exposure. In this book we are going to take a look at this principle of God's covering: What is it? What good is it to us? How did we lose it? How do we get it back? This book is for Christians who are seeking more understanding of how we have been damaged and how God brings His healing into our lives.
The Unseen Bond in Relationships When we realize that relationships are more than just a physical meeting of two people, we begin to understand that some of our relationships might have affected our lives in a negative way. We may find ourselves damaged and tied in a place of bondage from which God wants us to be set free. A way of describing this unseen hold that ties us to bad relationships is an ungodly soul-tie. It is a tie in the spiritual realm that has a hold on the soul. As you read this book you will discover how to find release from ungodly soul-ties and most importantly experience God's freedom and healing. The teaching will be of vital importance to those seeking to help those struggling with the consequences of difficult or ungodly relationships. This book is part of Sovereign World 'Turth & Freedom' series based on the renowned teaching program from Ellel Ministries International.
After a decade spent in isolation in the Ugandan jungles thinking
about stuff, David Cross has written his first book. Known for
roles on the small screen such as "never-nude" Tobias Funke on
"Arrested Development "and the role of "David" in "Mr. Show With
Bob And David, "as well as a hugely successful stand-up routine
full of sharp-tongued rants and rages, Cross has carved out his
place in American comedy. Whether deflating the pomposity of
religious figures, calling out the pathetic symbiosis of
pseudo-celebrity and its leaching fandom, or merely pushing the
buttons of the way-too-easily offended P.C. left or the caustic,
double-standard of the callous (but funnier) right, Cross has
something to say about everyone, including his own ridiculous self.
