First Contact If you have been wondering why the number of UFO sightings have been decreasing recently, you don't have to go any further than this explanation. Alien life does exist out there, but due to one errant member of the team dispatched to our planet we will probably never come face to face (or even cheek to cheek) with it ever again. This is an extremely well made and scripted short animation by a group of students at the Media Design School in Auckland, New Zealand. It is a CGI-Live action integration short film from the second year of the Advanced 3D Productions programme there and I for one am deeply impressed with this piece of work. It is a whole lot better than any number of professional animations we see, let alone for a short animation created by undergrauates. Blown away is not the word for it. Now that had me laughing.
7 Simple Ways To Say “No” | zen habits Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Celestine Chua of The Personal Excellence Blog. Do you have difficulty saying “no”? Are you always trying to be nice to others at the expense of yourself? Well, you’re not alone.

Scraps From the Table Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me!

So in many cases when desperate people come to Jesus for help, He makes them examine their motives: in effect, He asks them, “Do you really believe that I can do this, or am I just another copper bracelet?” So Jesus asks the Canaanite woman if it is really proper for a Jewish rabbi to give Jewish things to a gentile; in other words, is it proper to take the children’s food and give it to the dogs? So Jesus cast the demon out of her daughter. Note in passing that it is the petitioner, not the sick person, who needs to have faith.
