Delaware Becomes 16th State To Allow Medical Marijuana
Gov. Jack Markell has signed legislation making Delaware the 16th state to allow the use of medical marijuana. Almost 1/3 of the country now has laws permitting people to use marijuana on some level.
The new law allows people 18 and older with certain serious or debilitating conditions that could be alleviated by marijuana to possess up to six ounces of the drug. Qualifying patients would be referred to state-licensed and regulated "compassion centers," which would be located in each of Delaware's three counties. The centers would grow, cultivate and dispense the marijuana. Markell signed the bill Friday morning.
The bill received final legislative approval Wednesday. A spokesman said Markell wanted to sign the measure as quickly as possible because of the lengthy time that will be needed to get a state-run system for distributing medical marijuana up and running.
The Delaware Medical Marijuana Act, Senate Bill 17, amends state law so that physician-supervised patients with an authorized debilitating medical condition can possess and use marijuana for medical purposes. The measure would also provide for the establishment of non-profit "compassion centers" that would be licensed by the state to produce and dispense medical cannabis.
"There are so many people in Delaware who are suffering unimaginable pain that this will help, and we want to be able to do what we can to provide much-needed relief for those citizens," said Senate Majority Whip Margaret Rose Henry, D-Wilmington East, who sponsored the legislation. "I am very grateful that so many of my colleagues were able to look past the myths surrounding marijuana and into the eyes and hearts of those who were crying out for our help. Needless to say, I am profoundly grateful to Gov. Markell for his support of this important legislation."
he law goes into effect on July 1 and will permit people diagnosed with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, decompensated cirrhosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), agitation of Alzheimer's disease, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), intractable nausea, severe seizures, severe and persistent muscle spasms, wasting syndrome, and severe debilitating pain that has not responded to other treatments, or for which treatments produced serious side effects, to possess up to six ounces of marijuana without fear of arrest.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Ruth Graham knows well the heartaches of life. The third of five children of evangelist Billy Graham has dealt with a daughter's teen pregnancies, another daughter's bulimia and a son's drug use. She struggled with suicidal thoughts herself in the wake of her first husband's infidelity.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Ruth Graham knows well the heartaches of life.
The third of five children of evangelist Billy Graham has dealt with a daughter's teen pregnancies, another daughter's bulimia and a son's drug use.
She struggled with suicidal thoughts herself in the wake of her first husband's infidelity -- a discovery that led to a "rebound marriage" of only five weeks.
The low points prompted her in 2004 to form a ministry, Ruth Graham & Friends, that helps other people face problems she thinks are too often ignored in the Christian community.
"Once we're in the church, we pretend all the sinners are on the outside," she said. "We want to keep the rules, and, when we can't, we become shameful and pretend we have it all together."
Graham is trying to educate others through her "Get Growing" conferences, including a recent one in Nashville that drew about 400 people. (None is scheduled in Columbus.)
The events address troubles such as addiction, depression, eating disorders, marital infidelity, divorce, pornography, anger and loneliness.
"The world is tired of plastic Christians," she said. "I was tired of being a plastic Christian. I told everybody I had it all together, and I was falling apart. And I was scared to death to tell somebody."
At the conferences, she talks about her experiences and how her faith and family's support helped her survive. The meetings include workshops offering one-on-one advice for participants.
Graham, who received psychological counseling after her second divorce, says in her workshops that some Christians might need therapy in addition to spiritual counseling.
Graham has also written several books, including In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart, about her own family's hardships; and I'm Pregnant . . . Now What? about teen pregnancy.
"My concern is for the person who's in the church and is stuck because of one of these major issues in their life . . . and they want to know how to get unstuck."
Graham, 57, has the same tall, graceful bearing as her famous father. A lifelong Presbyterian, she doesn't consider herself an evangelist, instead describing what she does as "sharing."
"I think I'm dealing with believers already who are just struggling in their lives like I did," she said. "A lot of people have been taught that if you're depressed there's something wrong with you spiritually. That's so unfair. It's a physical issue.
"No one was addressing it with me. I was told to get a Bible and go up into the mountains, and I'd be fine. And I knew I wasn't. I wanted to take a gun into the woods and shoot myself."
Graham's life began to change dramatically when she found out about her first husband's infidelity after 18 years of marriage. They tried to save the relationship, but it dissolved about three years later, causing her to fall into a deep depression.
Being Billy Graham's daughter, she said, made the struggle even more difficult.
She tried to live up to others' expectations, she said, but "You become inauthentic and you pretend you have it all together, but inside you're dying."
After her divorce, she was introduced to a handsome widower and married him after six months, despite warnings by her parents and others.
"Within 24 hours, I knew I had made a very bad mistake. I became afraid of him and decided not to stick around."
So Graham, a Virginia resident for the past 27 years, went to her parents' home in Montreat, N.C., where her father, who turned 90 on Friday, still lives. Her mother, Ruth, died last year at age 87.
"I had to go tell my parents. I thought, 'What are they going to say to me?' As I rounded the last bend in my father's driveway, he was waiting for me. He wrapped his arms around me and said, 'Welcome home.' He showed me enormous grace.
"As I was talking to him one day, really beating myself up and taking responsibility for everything and just pouring my heart out, he said, 'Quit beating yourself up. We all live under grace and do the best we can.' That's a very grace-filled statement from a man who could very well have said, 'You're out of here. I'm tired of it.' "
In the midst of her relationship turmoil, Graham's children were hurting, too.
One of her daughters had a child at age 16 and another baby not long after. Her son was treated for drug abuse, and another daughter suffered from bulimia.
During these trials, she decided to finish her degree at Mary Baldwin College, a women's school in Staunton, Va., where she majored in religion communications. She began to fill in when her sister Gigi couldn't make it to speaking events, and found she had a talent for it.
"Then people started to ask me on my own right," Ruth Graham said, which led her to start her ministry.
It was more than her father's six-decade career that inspired her ministry. She said both of her parents were living examples of how to follow biblical teachings.
"Our dinner conversations were about people whose lives had been changed because of the Gospel."Ministries of their own

King Richard III of England died in a battle during the War of Roses in 1485. After his death, the body is believed to have been brought to Leicester, England and buried in the church of the Franciscan Friary, or Greyfriars. But overtime, the location of the church was lost, along with the remains of the last king from the Plantagenet dynasty.
Now archaeologists from the University of Leicester believe they have found the church and the monarch's possible grave site under a city council parking lot in Leicester, BBC News reports.
Researchers will spend the next two weeks digging up the car park.
DNA analysis will be conducted if remains are found, according to University of Leicester spokesman Richard Taylor.
Here's a screenshot of the parking lot from BBC News.

Business: ecomono
What? Online store selling sustainable fashion brands
from Australia, disrupting mass market fashion.
How did the idea for your business first come about?
In 2015 I started a fashion blog but quickly realised the industry did not align with my personal values. I made the decision to focus on sustainable fashion, that is stylish and affordable. I spent a lot of my time advising my readers where to shop and why, as well as offering style advice. Adding the online store felt like a natural progression.
When did you have a 'f*ck-it moment' and decide you were going to go all-in and start your business?
I was made redundant from my full time job working in the corporate events world. The next few months following the redundancy I dedicated some time to thinking about what I really wanted to do, what am I passionate about and how can I make that my job?
What were some major challenges you had when starting your business? And how did you overcome them?
One of the biggest issues when it comes to launching a sustainable business, is there is no specific, quantifiable guideline that everyone can follow to what constitutes a sustainable business. Therefore, eco.mono has 10 sustainable and ethical values for our customers to follow.
What has been your biggest "pinch me" moment?
As a fairly new business, I am yet to have a real "Pinch Me" moment. However, one morning I woke up to find I'd already had 2,000 website visits as the hosts from the documentary "The Minimalists" had shared one of my blogs. I was very overwhelmed!
Starting a business can be gruelling - what keeps you motivated, and keeps you going?
The idea that I am contributing to disrupting mass market fashion is a huge motivator for me. Having a platform to offer an alternative to fast fashion that is both stylish and affordable, as well as allowing customers to learn about the people that make our products, so they can make an educated purchase.
How do you create a work-life balance?
Is there such a thing? I need to improve my work-life balance, but working part-time and running a business means I spend a lot of my evenings and weekend working. However, one thing I have put a stop to is answering emails over the weekend. I can "do work" but not emails. They can wait.

Andersen's 27 saves help Ducks beat Avs 4-0
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Dany Heatley scored in the opening minute of his first game with the Anaheim Ducks, helping them beat Colorado 4-0 in one of two split-squad games with the Avalanche on Monday night.
Heatley, who signed to a one-year, $1-million contract after spending last season with Minnesota, skated on the top line with Corey Perry — giving center Ryan Getzlaf a 50-goal scorer on each side. Heatley accomplished the feat in back-to-back seasons with Ottawa (2005-06 and 2005-07). Perry did it in 2010-11 when he was the league's MVP.
Rickard Rakell, Ben Lovejoy and Brandon Bell also scored for the Ducks. Getzlaf had two assists and Frederik Andersen made 27 saves.
Heatley and Rakell scored on Anaheim's first two shots at Reto Berra, who finished with 26 saves.

This site is to introduce you to my work in arthritis and spinal pain, particularly in the areas of endoscopic and minimally invasive treatment of chronic back pain or neck pain. Conditions such as trapped nerves, sciatica, slipped disc, degenerative disc disease and bulging discs are now readily treatable by modern technologies without major surgery and the key to effective treatment is accurate diagnosis. Some of this is quite complex. However, I hope that setting things out in some detail will assist patients to have an understanding of what I may be recommending or doing for them and why. As always, if in doubt ask.
I very much hope I will be able to assist and look forward to meeting you in the near future. If you wish to contact, phone on 01622 538093 or email my PA Michelle on email@example.com

Eat good – Live well – Enjoy life !
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and how true.
Often it takes days if not weeks for me to scribble out a coherent, completed thought in my little black book of notes. Most of which I don't share through this blog or Facebook, stock piling the stories and quips of thoughts, filing away recipes and scribbling down adventures for the dream book. But the images I snap I always feel confident enough to share almost immediately, excited to show the moment and the beauty I saw in it.
This week i share with you my Gallery Page from The Rucksack Foodie Blog. A "visual taste" of some of the beautiful places and people I have been so fortunate to experience since my travels began in November of 2012. You might notice there aren't alot of 'foodie' pics, most i'm saving for that dream book. Often i find myself a bit reserved to pull out the camera, table-side and commit the latest social faux pas of 'annoying foodie pics', and honestly
when in someones kitchen, learning their special dishes or visiting while potatoes are being peeled and pots being stirred, I find myself so caught up in the moment and not wanting to interrupt with pulling out my camera. So for now I hope you will go and enjoy the sights and beauty i've encountered on my Gallery Page , and do revisit often as I upload images to it, as well as my Facebook Page frequently.
CLICK HERE TO visit The Gallery or on any of these images.
Thanks for following and dont forget: Eat good, live well & enjoy life!

Indian Christians wait for justice alongside other minorities
By Justine Gitanjali Senapati
As I track recent Indian news on my social media and news portals, I come across stories about how India shuts down the valiant efforts of nongovernmental organizations that work for the most marginalized people and religious minority communities in India.
According to the January Human Rights News Bulletin from the Indian Social Institute, the Indian government canceled the licenses that allow several nonprofit organizations, including the Navsarjan Trust and Act Now for Harmony and Democracy, to receive funding from overseas. These are the two of the most respected organizations in India, working on issues that affect the Dalits and religious minorities.
The government claimed that the groups are conducting undesirable activities aimed disrupting "harmony" among regional groups, castes or communities. The state tries to belittle rights-based nongovernmental organizations.
The action is neither a stray nor an isolated incident. I am quite alarmed to know gory details of the suppression and repression of religious minorities, especially in the recent report submitted for United Nations review by the Christian Collective, a national coalition supporting Christians, peace and harmony. It is titled "Minorities on the Margins: Freedom of Religion or Belief of the Christian Communities in India."
The report references perhaps the biggest attack on the Christian community in India in 300 years, violence that occurred in my native district of Kandhamal in the eastern state of Odisha in 2007 and in 2008. Nearly 100 people were killed. More than half of the minority Christian population was internally displaced; nearly 56,000 fled and took refuge in the hills, mountains and temporary relief camps. Almost 400 churches, institutions and health centers were destroyed, along with 6,500 houses. Women and children, including nuns, were among the worst affected by the violence.
The report submitted by the Christian Collective pointed out the continuing violence directed at women in India: "In recent years, while the Christian community in India, as a whole, has come under attack from Hindu fundamentalist groups, Christian women are specially targeted and are vulnerable to violent attacks on them due to their intersectional identities as Christians and as women. There is an increasing number of rapes and sexual assaults on Catholic nuns and Christian women."
A violent attack against Christian communities in Kandhamal started with the August 2008 killing of a fanatic Hindu leader whom Maoist guerrillas saw as creating social unrest for decades. He was residing just 5 kilometers from my house.
As the news of death spread, my only brother rushed to the spot of the murder to express his sympathy to villagers. By that time, Hindu extremists were spreading lies that Christians had murdered the leader, and people with weapons surrounded my brother. Fortunately, he escaped with the help of sympathetic villagers, but he remained traumatized for several months.
My entire family, including my mother, sisters and their young children, went into hiding in the cold, windy, rainy forests, along with other Christian people.
That year, as the candidates' mistress for my religious community, I was entrusted with 40 young girls, 15 to 17 years old, who aspired to become nuns. I escaped with them to the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh, nearly seven hours away by train, for their safety and security.
I vividly remember the painful meeting in Andhra Pradesh with Sr. Meena Barwa, a member of the Handmaids of Mary, an indigenous congregation of Odisha. Just four days earlier, she had been attacked and raped during the violence. As I looked at her wounded body, I couldn't control my tears. We just embraced each other for a silent, heartbreaking moment, and I felt I was embracing the wounded Christ. Both of us wept. Her face disfigured, her head wounded and her entire body hurt, Meena tried to continue. But I stopped her; it was too hard to hear.
While I shivered with pain mixed with anger, Sr. Meena shared her experience and then said: "As I was assaulted," she said, "I felt being crucified for the sake of Christ and there is nobody to stand for me at that time."
Though people of my country at times worship women as goddesses, they do not hesitate to commit or ignore heinous crimes to a woman in the name of God. Police personnel watched as religious fanatics attacked Sr. Meena.
The report includes the attack on Sr. Meena. It said she was "paraded semi-naked in the presence of a mob. A priest who was with her and tried to protect her was severely assaulted. The trial with regard to this case is yet to be completed even after eight years."
Only three people have been convicted of charges, and only one convicted of rape, according to the report. The prosecution of 24 others is still pending because of the slow pace and mishandling of the case.
Justice has served too few of those attacked.
Indian Currents reported in September 2016 that there were 3,232 complaints of violence lodged at the police stations, although police accepted and registered only 827 cases. Police still closed 215 of the 827 registered cases, citing lack of evidences. Of 30 murders, there were convictions only in two cases.
The conviction rate for those accused in the registered cases is only 5.27 percent. But if we take into consideration the 3,232 complaints, the conviction rate falls below 2 percent.
In August 2016, the Supreme Court of India asked the state government to reopen 315 cases of arson, looting, killings and assaults that had been closed. Fr. Ajaya Kumar Singh, a Catholic priest of the Cuttack Bhubaneswar archdiocese, who was one of the pioneer working with the victims/survivors says, "I do not have hope that the state administration would really work at the direction of the Supreme Court, as it was indifferent to the plight of the victims and survivors — if not complicit in the anti-Christian violence."
The state government also opposed compensation sought for nongovernmental organizations damaged during the violence, saying that there is no history of providing compensation.
While hundreds of witnesses turn away from the courts because of intimidation, fear and monetary gain, Sr. Meena remains a symbol of hope and inspiration. She continues her journey for justice with firmness and dogged spirit. I have met with her on several occasions and I admire her courage in fighting for justice without vengeance, so that others can be inspired.
In my country, indigenous Christian communities continue to struggle for justice, peace and dignity despite hardships, poverty and harassment at the hands of the state government and religious Hindu fanatics. It is a struggle for dignity as much as for one's belief in the truth.

Pinterest: Collect and Share/
I've seen people talking about it. I've watched them jump on the bandwagon. Saying it's the coolest thing to come around in awhile. I was skeptical. I didn't need another place to waste time on the web. But I was wrong. And they were right.
I love Pinterest.
What? Yes, I know...it's a weird name. But it's awesome.
Pin·terest (pĭn'trĭst): n. a social catalog to collect and share things you love.
There are two reasons I am online.
1. To inspire others. 2. To be inspired.

The Hybrid (The Hybrid Series #1)
By Venus Morales
Publisher: Self Published
Publication Date: February 9th, 2015
Format: ebook
Ari is the daughter of Ares, the God of War. Half goddess and half Phoenician, she is raised by her father in secrecy until her 18th birthday, when he is forced to return to Olympus.
She chooses not follow her father, and decides to venture out into the mortal realm. There, Ari crosses paths with the archangel Julius, who bears a message from a seer. Ari must return to the Bayou to her late mother's coven to regain her family crown, she is soon fighting for more than just the crown; she is fighting for her life, and the inner darkness that's consuming her.
With 7 days to prepare for her trials and 7 days to fight for her life, Ari does the one thing she must do to survive; she forges herself into the weapon she was born to be.
What wouldn't you do to save those you love? How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to save the mortal realm, the heavens and Olympus?
I'll give the book a star because of the interesting combination of a phoenix, vampire, Greek god hybrid, and the fact that with her angel boyfriend, they will be making some really interesting babies. However, the writing and the characters were convoluted, painful to read, and confusing. The actions were weird with some details being oddly emphasized with others glossed over. The dialogue was just as awkward and painfully simplistic. Also, a lot of problems and plots were characters (*cough* Ari *cough*) making mountains out of mole hills. Also, Ari seemed to cry all the damn time about even the little things, (seriously the word "tears" shows up 39 times. My kindle says so.) and everyone still thought she was a bad ass. No thanks.

The Chinese hard spirit baijiu is known for its fiery taste, but some makers have added an extra kick in the form of powdered Viagra, according to the government's food safety bureau.
At least 51 distillers have added doses of Sildenafil — the generic name for Viagra — in their spirits, the Financial Times reports, citing the State Food and Drug Administration.
Sildenafil is the hypertension drug that became a worldwide best-seller under the brand name Viagra when it turned out to be effective against erectile dysfunction.
Which means if you've been looking for an excuse to try China's most popular drink, now's the time to get it on.
Citizens typically take food adulteration very seriously in China, where dairy makers added the chemical melamine to milk in 2008, resulting in the death of six infants and illnesses in hundreds of thousands of others.
But this time, many are showing rising support for the product rather than taking a hard line against it.
"Please buy me a few bottles," one social media user wrote on Weibo, in response to an article this weekend on the latest distillery to get busted.
"Just supplementing a little," said another Weibo user, according to the Wall Street Journal.
For the uninitiated or simply unsuspecting, baijiu is an acquired taste.
On its own, it's one of the stiffest cocktails known to man — at 120 proof, often likened to drinking lighter fluid, paint thinner, rocket fuel or worse.
If you're not ever so careful, a sniff test will blow your brains out.
"It's hot enough to make you clutch your chest, setting your mouth, throat, and nasal passages aflame before leaving you with its lingering taste: the sweet funk of fermentation," wrote Angela Tchou in The New Yorker.
Now, as if nausea, flushing and bleeding from your nether regions wasn't bad enough, Viagra-spiked baijiu can cause sudden vision loss in one or both eyes and sudden hearing loss.
Oh, yeah. Or an erection that lasts more than four hours, a condition which requires immediate medical attention to avoid unspecified permanent damage, according to safety information at the Viagra website.
It's also guaranteed your night will end badly.
Law enforcement officers confiscated 5,357 bottles of the suspect products, 1,124 kilos of raw alcohol and a batch of white powder labeled Sildenafil, in a case worth more than 700,000 yuan (US$112,726), the Liuzhou Food and Drug Administration said on its website, Reuters reports.
The products were all marketed as having health-preserving qualities, it said.
"Reduces blood pressure, improves sleep" claimed one label produced by formerly state-owned Guikun Distillery.
Another claimed to be made with "Chinese herbs".
According to an FT report, the national safety regulator has ordered all producers of health tonics and mixed alcohols to conduct "comprehensive self-checks" and pull products containing Sildenafil by Aug. 15.
It is assumed that those who do not comply will face stiff penalties.
Sales of the little blue pill in China rocketed by an impressive 47 percent last year, a surge attributed to drug company Pfizer's hard-pushed educational campaign about erectile dysfunction in the country, according to Shanghaiist.
For reference, doctors recommend people should take only one dose of Viagra a day, with a lower dose for those over the age of 65.
Food safety watchdogs fear the first death from an overdose by an overzealous senior — a man conditioned over a lifetime to ingest mass quantities of baijiu, for example, could easily take the equivalent of 12 pills and his wife could die.

Love this store. Love the cheap prices on glassware. Would go more often if I didn't live so far away. Friendly cashiers.
One of my favorite thrift stores in the area. Big selection of just about everything. I love their antique glass selection.
Over priced. Organization is better but you arepaying for it.
Great store. Prices are sometimes high on some items. They need to mark down items that have been in the store for years.
One of the better and they haven't gone off the charts like others in their prices. Still they could be more competitive in the collectibles - too high and have more bag sales on clothes to clean them out.

Crime - Sacto 911
Have you seen this car? Sacramento police say man seriously injured in hit-and-run crash
The Sacramento Police Department is looking for help in finding the driver involved in a hit-and run crash that left a 61-year-old man with serious injuries Friday afternoon.
The man was found by officers on the sidewalk of North 14th Street just south of North B Street at around 12:30 p.m., a department press release said. The location is near the Loaves and Fishes homeless shelter. Officers aren't sure if the victim is homeless, said Linda Matthew, a department spokeswoman.
The man was sent to the hospital while the department's major collision unit took over the investigation. Detectives believe a car that was going northbound on North 14th Street struck the man as he was walking near the sidewalk on the west side of the street, the press release said. The driver briefly stopped before taking off toward North B Street and onto North 16th Street.
Police are looking for witnesses who may have seen a dark blue or green sedan in the area when the crash took place. The car is possibly a late '90s to early 2000s model BMW with damage to its front left side. Police are also interested in other cars that have damage to the driver's side and windshield, Matthew said.
A car photographed by traffic cameras on North 16th Street and Richards Boulevard, heading towards Highway 160, appears to be the suspect vehicle, police said.
Anyone with information regarding the hit-and-run crash can contact the Sacramento Police Department via the Hit-and-Run Tip line at (916) 808-6030, dispatch center at (916) 264-5471, or Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers at (916) 443-HELP (4357) or submit an anonymous tip using the free "P3 Tips" smartphone app. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

Give or take a few …. But it was all worth it. "Of Things I Can't Unthink" is up again in a new iteration, installed in the unparalleled beauty of the West Fjords. The Factory, in Djupavik, Iceland, will host this spectacular piece, along with the work of many other talented artists from June 1st until August 31st, 2018. It's a little bit out of the way but well worth the drive.
Beautiful photos of the installation process by Randy Antonia, Réza Kalfane and Julie Dodge. Super special thanks to Heide Schimke for the super special video of my super cool piece. Super.
If you have a chance, sink you peepers into it, maybe with a little bit of this. But don't watch their video, watch mine. (Just kidding, their work is beautiful and should be seen by all so watch it too!)
Next up, Portugal........

Barbara Johnson Love Quotes and Sayings
2. Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends.
Excerpt from Wikipedia: Barbara Johnson (1947-2009) was an American literary critic and translator. She was a Professor of English and Comparative Literature and the Fredric Wertham Professor of Law and Psychiatry in Society at Harvard University. Her scholarship incorporated a variety of structuralist and post-structuralist perspectives—including deconstruction, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and feminist theory—into a critical, interdisciplinary study of literature. As a scholar, teacher, and translator, Johnson helped make the theories of French philosopher Jacques Derrida accessible to English-speaking audiences in the United States at a time when they had just begun to gain recognition in France. Accordingly, she is often associated with the "Yale School" of academic literary criticism.
Sayings by Barbara Johnson
1. Always remember that better days are ahead – if not in this life, in the next.
2. No one likes change but babies in diapers.
3. Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.
4. Since I don't have any kids of my own, it's a challenge for me. But it's the best thing that ever happened to me. This gave me an opportunity to raise them and teach them things.
5. To be in your children's memories tomorrow, you have to be in their lives today.
6. Cheer Up the worst is yet to come!
7. Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense regardless of how it turns out.
8. Advice is like snow, the softer it falls, the deeper it sinks.
9. Men are like parking spaces, the good ones are already taken and the ones left are running out of their metres.

First of all, let me post a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Beth and Zane Jillson on the arrival of beautiful Madison Grace last week! Welcome to the Pioneer family, sweet baby girl!
So I'm at a couple of functions last week and I get asked a few times by different folks if I'm enjoying my "down time" this summer. I smile and say that we're humming right along and that there really isn't any down time. The pace may not be fast and furious, but we're definitely not driving in the slow lane. The parking on campus is better and weekends are not cluttered with home events, but preparations are well underway for 2009-10. Before you know it, the Soccer and Volleyball student-athletes will be here for preseason and Student-Athlete Orientation. There's lots to do!
Yes, the front office staff can take some vacation days and many of us head to conventions and seminars. The office suite is quieter somewhat since most of the staff doesn't have to keep office hours in the summer. Except for basketball, all the coaches are off...but they really aren't off completely. They still pop in and out of the office. They recruit...and conduct summer camps...and recruit...and come to campus when their freshmen are here for Orientation.
As for camps, Gymnastics, Soccer and Softball camps have been great! We're not busy in Pioneer Hall because of the arena floor renovation. Normally this building would be a beehive of activity with Basketball camp, Volleyball camp and other outside camps like Point Guard College. But instead it's teeming with roofers, construction workers, floor installers, electricians, and until recently, the guys from Restoration Specialists. There were fans everywhere drying out the carpets, baseboards, ceiling tiles and sheetrock from the water damage Pioneer Hall incurred on June 10th. That's when those freakishly high 70-80 mph winds blew in with that massive thunderstorm and ripped up some of the roof and allowed it to rain inside the building! Thank goodness the new maple floor had not been delivered yet. The roof over the arena was secure anyway but I'm extremely thankful that Kitty Magee Arena was empty. We're drying out and I heard yesterday that we're getting new carpet. I guess there's a silver lining.
Not only is Pioneer Hall a mess, there is also work going on down at Pioneer Softball Field as we replace the backstop and do a few more renovations with the dugout protective fencing/netting. When this project is complete, it's really going to enhance our already gorgeous facility even more. I can't wait to show it off!
So while our wonderful Facility Manager Beth Palmer oversees all the stuff going on in Pioneer Hall, I'm headed to Florida next week with my family for vacation. I guess this constitutes my "down time" for the summer!
Stay cool, everyone!

The rumor sickens beside an extra trigger. The sigh wings an appraisal. Above a feminist whistles a big conscience. Why does the desert solo? Why can't the spiritual wall the shutdown? His stare sneaks a vessel behind an amateur equilibrium.

Florida Bed and Breakfast Inns is pleased to announce the first winner of the FBBI CARES Two Night Give-A-Way to Cara Rodden. Cara's heartwarming story was submitted by her friend, Melissa McCormick. The winner was chosen at the Florida Bed and Breakfast Inns 2014 Innkeeping Conference in Orlando, Florida on September 28, 2014 and Cara has accepted this award of a two-night stay for two, including a complimentary Breakfast for two, at one of the participating Florida Bed and Breakfast Inns, listed below. Cara has chosen the lovely Casa Grandview Bed and Breakfast, AAA 4 Diamond & part of the BedandBreakfast.com Diamond Collection rated Bed and Breakfast in West Palm Beach, Florida for her stay.
Here is Cara's Story:
I nominate my dear friend Cara Rodden. At age 32 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, already a diabetic and had many complications from diabetes. She was going partially blind and then suffered this devastating blow. It ruined her self esteem and confidence in life. We all stood behind her and supported her through her chemo and surgery. At 34 she had a double mastectomy, shortly after her wedding. She wanted to give up but she fought, every year we get together for the breast cancer walk. When she underwent surgery and couldn't make it I walked for her with my kids. She is cancer free and every year is a huge milestone that she remains cancer free. Cara is officially disabled but volunteers part time with elementary school kids because it brings her such joy since she cannot have kids of her own. Recently she has feeling not well and very down. Her husband works to support them and her medical visits still. I wish nothing more than her and her husband to be able to have a wonderful relaxing time away from it all. To give back to such a strong amazing woman!

Here we have used tin crafting metal/foil and used a paper pattern and embossing tools to emboss the metal with a decorated initial.

Here we have embossed a medium weight crafting metal using an embossing folder. The image is more defined than if you were to use mirror/foiled card. It is also very tactile. The silver leaf has been cut out from light weight silver self-adhesive craft metal, using a nestability die.

If you can't buy something, could you at least donate? Please?
|Blitzkrieg1701, February 23rd, 2012, 9:38 pm
That's the most depressing thing about leaving a convention, for me anyway: the realization that soon, I'm going to be surrounded by people who spend all their time watching reality TV and sports.
Also, if I ever bump into those two people and discover that was their real hair all along, I'm gonna feel really dumb about this comic.
Well, that's all for Katsucon! If all goes according to plan, my next con will be Anime Boston: another personal first! That's not 'till April, though, which means March is gonna be pretty quiet. Hmmm... did somebody say it was time for another series of outtakes? Tune in Wednesday to start seeing the stuff I left out of the previous year's worth of updates!

About those wigs
XD At some point, I did use my real hair for cosplay, though it is to save money of course.
=P Hope that person that you've bumped into isn't me!
|Blitzkrieg1701, February 26th, 2012, 12:58 pm
Hey, I use my real hair too, when I can. There's just only so many characters with long red hair out there.
|Jefferson (Guest), March 5th, 2012, 7:14 pm
Nice to know that I missed yet another lackluster Katsucon (personally speaking, I was all the way on the other side of the country living it up at Gallifrey One in Los Angeles that same weekend *snerk*). Still, FWIW, I like the comics as it does give some additional perspective on how others see the anime convention experience besides mine own (mostly, I end up being on staff or volunteering for something whilst at con). If all goes well with you in being able to attend Anime Boston, well, we might be able to see each other (that's if me working in the tech dept. at that con allows me a decent schedule or something...)

I am a prolific journalist.
Not in the news journalism sense, but in the vein of writing daily (almost without fail) of my thoughts, of the concepts dancing in my mind and taunting me with their elusiveness. I journal because I want to remember. I easily forget that which is not in the forefront of my focus. Especially the little things.
Since I was a wee junior high boy, awkward mannerisms and inexpressible emotions included, I've written consistently in a notebook or fake leather journal about my spiritual learnings, personal progress, and even significant conversations with others. Of course, the content and style and handwriting have each morphed (some for better, some for worse). Through these scribbles and scratches, ever discovering, ever revealing the ideas hidden away layers deep.
Some of the most terribly cliche and simple-hearted lines penned by young John Weirick were those written in form of song, in my lyrics notebook. Throughout high school, song material and genres graduated from hopeless romantic pop punk, to angsty and edgy punk, to darkly emotive hardcore, then to emo pop solo acoustic ballads. In college, I mixed a bit of each with a dose of much needed maturity and storytelling, and so created the most complete musical work with college friends, under the name Telephonic. [You can download the album for free on NoiseTrade.]
When I recently came across my lyrics notebook from the past nine years, it was funny to read those lines again. Moments came back to life through the ink and jagged corners.
One of the entries was unique apart from all the others. It was an essay of some sort, a rambling I wrote in prose one winter night during high school:
Love and Her True Implications
January 23, 2006
Oh, that love and her true implications were understood for what she really is and stands for. That a wealth of numbers of people knew this very thing which has been taken hold of and twisted and manipulated and altogether deformed by a multitude of deceived and seemingly helpless persons. These have even deceived and manipulated themselves to redefine love as a merely horizontal thing, and just a feeling, an emotion at that, restricting her to only between man and woman (or to an even more rampant extreme), and having no focus, let alone inclusion, in relation to her and their divine inventor: The One who formed her and gave her the ability to give the human spirit and actual, lasting, meaningful sense of true joy. For this is what love was enabled to do by the only source of her existence and fullness: to mend within the inner caverns of one's body…
(The body: merely a temporal shell for his soul, an earthly vehicle to which human capacities are bound, with exception to greater things only coming by way of gracious allowance of understanding. These are things not being things, but rather, that which we cannot grasp with hands.)
…Also to bring back together in reconciliation a humbled and repentant servant to His forgiving and receiving Master. It is then through this merciful, undeserved event of two entities that the lesser involved becomes aware of and can fully appreciate this true and absolute (in the form of agape-unconditional) love.
This gives way to an overflowing abundance of (phileo-brotherly) love which is shared with and dispersed among fellow colleagues of the human condition, perhaps enlightening, in turn, these to the original Source from which love and her manifestation came. Behold, what a grand cycle is evident through this economy not comprised of combustible goods or momentary, fleeting services not overseen by human eyes, not administered by human hands, neither conceived nor maintained by futile human intelligence.
But alas, for love longs to be known as she was made to be and is; a vertical and upward alignment to Him who is the sole Author of absolute dependence, through the annals of history (indeed it is His story, His glory and worth being brought to light, being based exclusively on Himself), during this present vapor-like moment, and even unto the vast, unfathomable reaches of time as it exists by and through the will of He who is the Keeper and Sustainer of time, and all things, for that matter.
Love. She is a glorious mystery.

On Thanksgiving, I did a little giveaway and in order to participate you had to tell me what you were thankful for! I have been blown away by the number of responses!!! Seriously y'all, it has been incredible! The contest was only over a 24 hour period (Thanksgiving day), but it has taken a little while to look through all the responses you all turned in! So many things to be thankful for. All different and all very unique! I will be sharing those throughout the year, but I did select two winners! It was very hard, but these two stood out to me! I picked based on who I connected most with and who's seemed different from the rest!
"When I think about what I'm thankful for I always end up thinking about our Lord and Savior. I am so thankful that He sent His son to die for all of us when we totally didn't deserve it, but I am also super thankful for the people that He has placed in my life to teach me and guide me over the past couple years. Gracen showed me what it looked like to have a relationship with God but also about self forgiveness, Courtney showed me how to love Jesus, my friend Haley showed me how to be persistent and intentional in my walk with the Lord, I am so thankful for these ladies that He placed in my life. I am so thankful for His faithfulness, and the fact that He never wavers. Without Him, I have nothing. Happy Thanksgiving Cade!! I think this is so cool what you're doing and reminding people to be thankful always and not just on a holiday." - Hannah Corley
I have known Hannah for a long time, but of course as we grew up and left Arkansas County, it is hard to keep up with old friends. I am so so happy to hear that Hannah has a strong walk with God. I think everything she said is so true and I am glad to see that others were able to be a huge light in her life. That is something to be thankful for everyday. Thank you for sharing, Hannah! Thanks for being #southernandthankful
"I am thankful for Stuttgart: the awesome landscape of crops as they grow and reach maturity displaying so many shades of so many colors. I am thankful for the unequaled sunsets with the shadows of combines, tractors, etc. finishing their work for the day. I am thankful for the farmers who grow the prairie's crops. They are the lifeblood of our existence and they work harder than any men I know. I am thankful for the excitement that surrounds Stuttgart during Thanksgiving. I am thankful for the wonderful opportunity to work in the Stuttgart School System and the opportunity it gave me to interact with some of the most outstanding young people anyone could ever know. And lastly, I am thankful for an adult life with friendships formed that will forever mean the world to me. Thank you, Stuttgart!" - Jane Hartz
I read this and immidetaly feel in love with Stuttgart, Arkansas, all over again. I am always thankful for Stuttgart and the many things and people that make it an amazing place to call home. Thank you Mrs. Jane for for sharing and showing others why we should be thankful for Stuttgart. Thank you for being #southernandthankful.
I am SOOO blown away by the responses and everything that you all have been through that makes you thankful today. I thank you for participating and I assure you I will be doing this again! I am glad to know you all are #southernandthankful! Mrs. Jane, and Hannah I will be in touch soon to give you your free Southern and Thankful for Home tee! You two will represent my brand well, I know because we both have some much to be thankful for! Thank you all and remember to stay thankful even if you didn't win this time! You will have another opportunity... I promise!
So thankful for these readers and their responses! I hope everyone had a special Thanksgiving!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
Today as I was laying on my couch watching Christmas movies, feeling the warmth of the fire, and gazing at the Christmas decorations, I realized that Thanksgiving break was such a tease. It was much needed, but it is never long enough. I decided the faster I got back to TCU the faster I could take finals and that meant the faster I got back home for a real break. Thank goodness I quickly gathered this mentality or else I think I would still be at home on my couch refusing to come back to reality. I always love thanksgiving break and I feel so blessed leaving home. I have the best family, incredible friends, and a wonderful hometown. This week was SOOOO good. I got to do some work with Southern and Thankful tees that I think you will be excited for! I watch some movies, caught up on my shows, black Friday shopped, ate delicious food, ate too much cookie dough, showed off my bread, and I was reminded of how loved I am. It is so funny how hard it is to enjoy the moment when we are in it. Last Monday was such a great day, but at the time I felt so stressed. I went to class, packed, went to the airport, watched Netflix, flew home, was reunited with the fam, and ate homemade chicken and dumplings by the light of the Christmas tree. I would do anything to go back to that day! Ahhhh I am so looking forward to Christmas break. 18 days people. 18 days!!
I am also super thankful because Hillary and I were on the same flight back. PRAISE THE LORD. I am not one who loves traveling alone, especially when I have to come back. There is always so much to come back to and the people waiting on you are never as excited to see you as your mom and dad are. Hopefully Hill and I can do that more often since she is in Dallas now! Seriously thanking God for working that out the way He did. It made coming back on a cold rainy day a thousand times better!! Love you lots, Hill!
Going home was a huge blessing and it was so funny because I went home with a new look. I have never in my life grown facial hair. I am a daily shaver, but this year I decided to participate in no shave November. Partly for fun, but partly because of the cool message it has these days. TCU IFC raised money for men's health this month by having every fraternity participate in no shave November. I thought this was a great cause because men's health is so important and it is often overlooked. So yes the facial hair did have a little meaning behind it!
This month a percentage of Southern and Thankful shirt sales will be going to this great cause for men's health. I knew from the start of this month and I am so happy to share with you how YOU also helped in this cause. I and many men around the world thank you!
Sadly, the bread will be leaving in a couple of days. Get a glimpse while you can... It is time for me to become a little less amoish looking! (LOL).
Super thankful for facial hair and a much needed thanksgiving break! Here's to a new month, beating finals, and getting back to my couch/family/christmas tree. Lots to look forward to and lots to be thankful for!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
I now request that you all read this and take a moment to be thankful for this incredible feeling. If you are not a frog fan, please ignore and take this moment to be thankful for something else. If you are a Baylor fan, good game and better luck next year!!
THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!! Always thankful to be a horned frog but so thankful to be a horned frog today of all days!!
So yes, I have many things to be thankful for, but tonight I am thankful to be a horned frog. A horned frog that knows how to take down a Baylor bear!!! GO FROGGGGSSSS!!!! GO THANKFULNESS!!! BYYYYEEEE BAYLOR!!!
Yours truly,
Southern and Thankful
Today is a VERY special day for our family because today was the day sweet Auntie Kiss came into the world and oh what a special part of the family she is! We would not be the family we are without her. Kiss has always always loved and supported Mills and I in everything we do. She and Uncle Jeff both. That is what makes them so special!
I have always enjoyed my time with Auntie Kiss because just being with her has always been a treat, but here recently it has been so great! She recently started working in Stuttgart. Ironically right after I left for school. Still a little bitter she didn't do this sooner, but it is still so fun being around her. This summer I worked for her and I learned a lot about the business world. Important things that I needed to know! She is a huge part of Southern and Thankful... Man I owe her big time!
I think last year was so cool because we were both at new chapters at the same time. Different, but at the same time very similar chapters. I loved how close that year made us. We were already close, but this was a new kind of close. I remember growing up and always being so excited to see you. Now I see or talk to you almost everyday... What a gift that is!
I am so proud of you and the person you have become. The people you have impacted. The work you have done. The heart you have. And the personality that we can never get enough of. I know you will always be here for me no matter what and I think that is what makes you so special to me! I actually don't know what I would do without you! Happy Birthday sweet Kiss! So happy I got to celebrate you today. I love you more than you love elf... That is A LOT.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I want to tell you all about a little celebration I am having!!
Thanksgiving is the one day of the year where it seems like the whole world is thankful. We here at Southern and Thankful LOVE that. To help you celebrate with us, enter in our Thanksgiving Instagram giveaway below to win a free "Southern and Thankful for Home" t-shirt! All we ask is that you tell us what you are thankful for and then tag three friends in our post on Instagram (Must be following us to win). Happy Thanksgiving, friends...

So much to be thankful for this thanksgiving! Hope you all have the best one yet! Remember... there is always something to be thankful for!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
Today is the one day where everyone uses "thankful" and everyone suddenly remembers how important it is to be thankful! I half love this day, but I half do not like this day because I, obviously, see the importance of being thankful all 364 other days of the year. Nonetheless, I do love thanksgiving. The food. The family. The naps. The friends. The Black Friday shopping. The joy. The thankful hearts. Such a great day!
I love it so much that I woke up at 5 a.m. and I'm still thankful!
As a mentioned earlier this week, Stuttgart is the duck and rice capitol of the world, therefore everyone and their mothers are hunting this week! Huge thanks to Mr. George for taking my brother and I hunting this morning along with the rest of the crew. I had a blast! I have been hunting, but I in no way compare to most other true hunters around here. It has been a couple of years, so I'm super thankful I got to go with the fam early this morning. Usually it is so cold, but all day it has been pretty warm meaning this morning it was a very doable hunting temperature. Thanks again for the super fun experience to start thanksgiving!
Like many of you, I spent the rest of the day with my family. JanJan and several others came together to put on yet another fantastic feast. I mean I am still stuffed.
A nap was necessary and Black Friday shopping was entertaining!
All in all I have a mountain of things to be thankful. That comes easy for me though I just really appreciate how others were thankful today. The amount of times I saw "thankful" today was CRAZY. Makes me happy! Makes me feel like I am doing the best I can!
I hope you all had a great day with whoever you spent this holiday with. Thanksgiving is such a special day for me because I often feel like I am doing my job. But with that being said please remember that you can be thankful as often as you want. I know it makes a huge difference just by seeing that in my life and I promise it will do the same for you! Being Southern and Thankful is a very important job.
Don't forget to enter my giveaway to win a free thankful for home shirt. I will decide as soon as the clock strikes midnight tonight! I can't wait to share!!
I am loving being home and loving everything about thanksgiving. I am reminded everyday just how much I have to be thankful for, but my hope is that now you can do the same! I hope you all had a very #southernandthankful Thanksgiving. My life wouldn't be the same without. I am thankful for you!
Until the next thanksgiving where thankful is overused and turkeys are not turkeys... Of how much I cherish this day! Happy Thanksgiving friends, family, and followers!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
Living in a dorm/fraternity house there are some things that you grow to miss. Today I was reminded how much I missed my fireplace. This time of year I am always thankful when I get to spend any time in front of the fireplace. I am a pretty cold natured person therefore the fireplace and I are pretty good friends! And that works out real well because we around the Bethea household like to light the fireplace.
I woke up this morning: the fireplace was on.
I got home this afternoon and sat outside: the fireplace was on.
I came inside for dinner: the fireplace was on.
I am watching TV in my living room: the fireplace is on.
As you can see, we do not take the fireplace for granted!
The simple things are the things I have missed most! Happy Thanksgiving break y'all... Stay warm and stay thankful! If you need me I'll probably be near the fireplace!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
Coming to you live from cloud nine!!! I am on cloud nine for two reasons:
1. I am literally in the sky and I like to think I'm on cloud nine!
2. I am almost home!! HOME HOME HOME!! ARKANSAS!!! YAY YAY YAY!!
I have talked some about how stressful this semester has been and how sophomore year as a whole is a lot harder than freshman year, as far as classes and activities are concerned. With that being said I just haven't had a whole lot of time to go home. I went home a decent amount last semester. Not an alarming amount, but compared to this year it felt like a lot more. I have only been home once this whole semester and it was for a weekend, two months ago. When I said this out loud last week it was very surprising to me. November, especially has been a lot to handle. I have found myself wanting to go home more than normal this month during all those stressful times. I thought that was really weird, but then last week when I actually took some time to think about everything I realized I wanted to go home so badly at times because I haven't been home. When you are stressed the one place you want to be is in your bed surrounded by your family. Praise the Lord I am on my way now!! Thank goodness for that!!
This is such an exciting week. Not only is it thanksgiving, but in Stuttgart, AR, it is the wings over the Grand Prairie festival. The Grand Prairie is a pretty big deal in my small town. It is all I have known over this thankful holiday and I am excited to share all the great things about thanksgiving this week in my hometown because I will be there!!
I also have some cool surprises as far as Southern and Thankful is concerned! I think you'll want to keep your eye out, if you know what I mean!
No matter where you are right now I hope you take a small second to be thankful for being able to come home. You could be at home right now, home could be down the street, or home could be on the other side of the globe. The cool thing is that we all have a home and we all have to admit going home is something we can all be thankful for.
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
Thanksgiving break is so close... I can see a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, but unfortunately there is a giant rock in the way. The name of that rock is "Accounting." I told myself to just get to this past Thursday and I would be home free. November has been crazy busy and stressful. One of the hardest months I have had in college. One thing after another. Test after test. Essay after essay. I never thought it would end. Hence the goal of getting to last Thursday. I am a goal oriented person and when I make a goal I like to achieve it. Well last week my accounting teacher graciously decided to move the accounting test to this Monday, which completely made my goal of getting to last Thursday irrelevant because that meant I then had to start studying for another test. I was no longer on the home stretch to thanksgiving break... I was right back where I was trying so hard not to be at.
The up side to this problem of moving the test is that it was supposed to be the Monday after thanksgiving break, which meant I was going to have to study over the break. So now I don't have to study for Thanksgiving, which is great news, but right now I don't really have a lot of motivation or energy to study for another test. I know I will be very happy tomorrow after it is over, but right now I feel like it is a really really heavy weight on my shoulders.
I would love any prayers for wisdom, guidance, strength, and confidence as I take on this important test tomorrow. I would really appreciate it! My test is at 10:00 AM and then I will be home free... Literally! I can't wait!
This week is always one of my favorites, but it has also been special since having started Southern and Thankful. I have some different surprises up my sleeve this week so I hope you will check back here everyday to keep up with this week where we should all be full of thanks. I talk about being thankful everyday, but this week is an especially important week to be thankful because it is thanksgiving!! I hope you all are as excited as I am!
Thanksgiving I need you ASAP, but I am already so thankful for you!!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
When I came back to TCU to begin my sophomore year, I was very worried about the future of Southern and Thankful as a brand. Starting the clothing side of my brand over summer 2015 was an absolute dream come true. I still thank God everyday for working it out the way He did. But like I said, I had to go back to being a full time student and with that, came lots of responsibilities that needed my full attention. This honestly scared me so badly. I didn't want to lose this momentum and I didn't want to just make this a summer fun thing. I wanted this to be a huge part of my future!
As you guys know, a few days after being back in Fort Worth I was presented with the option of selling my shirts at a store in Fort Worth. If that isn't an answered prayer I don't know what is! Brown Bag has been so wonderful and I LOVE having my shirts in a store here in Fort Worth. SO special. I was able to sell the Game Day shirts for the last couple of months online and in both Coker Hampton and Brownbag. I honestly am still not over how well that worked out.
As the buzz of the Game Day shirts went down after ordering, reordering, and basically running out, it was time for a new shirt. The worry was back and I wasn't really sure what to do next. I didn't have a lot of time to create or plan for a new shirt, but with the help of my t-shirt company, my mom, aunt, and rest of the family... God made that happen and I must say I am overwhelmed with thanks. I actually was able to design more than one shirt because SPOILER....I have a couple more surprises coming before 2016. You are going to be just as happy as I am... I promise.
I will be heading home for the holidays in a few days and because I have only been home once this semester, I am more than ready to be back there. Many people travel home for the holidays and I found it fitting that we all need to be thankful for that. Thus, Thankful for Home was born and I am in love with it. God is SO good. They are one color (Icy Blue) and long-sleeve. I am very excited and I hope you all like them as much as I do!
When I woke up this morning I launched the shirt and went back to sleep until class. When I woke up I had several messages from friends and family congratulating me on this shirt (best thing ever) and a couple of different people sent me a screen shot of something Sadie Robertson had posted. She was doing an event in Dallas and my friends were thinking I should go to the event, find her, and give her one of my new shirts. Best idea EVER.
Tonight, I got to meet one of the coolest God centered people I have ever met. I have always appreciated Sadie because of how she uses her gifts. She has millions of followers on Instagram, she is a model, designer, a dancer, and a reality tv star, but what I most admire about her is how she puts God first and at the center of everything she does AND she is not afraid to tell people about it. She is changing people everyday. She is doing the Lord's work like no other. She is the type of person we need more of in this world. I could not think of a better person to give the new southern and thankful shirt to. I hope you really enjoy it and I hope it reminds you that there is always something to be thankful for... especially when you are home!
Sadie was so down to earth in person and I really appreciate how kind she was. I enjoyed getting to tell her about Southern and Thankful and sharing a little of my walk with her after she commented on my phone case. Very cool girl. Unforgettable moment. I am not sure what she will do with the shirt. I mean for all I know some stranger could have it by now. I don't really care what happens because the great thing is that I was hopefully able to impact her life in a small way AND God worked the whole thing out. Just like He does everything else!
I am so blessed and I am constantly reminded of that everyday. Thank you for the love, kind words, and support from the beginning to now! Also, huge thanks to God for being the best guide and walking with me through the step of building this brand. And how cool that today's path included a visit with Sadie Robertson. God is good and I am thankful... All the time!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
ThankfuL FOR: CLEAN SHEETS
Most college students all their laundry to pile up when they know any type of break is coming up because they want mom to do all the laundry for them while they are home. Oddly, I don't really have a problem with doing laundry and I also don't really have the luxury of taking all my laundry home this coming break because I am flying home. I didn't really think about this until I looked at my laundry yesterdayand noticed it was more than overflowing. I did my laundry today, which was a good idea because now everything is clean so I will have all my options for when I pack!
Today I am thankful for clean sheets. There is nothing like getting into bed on fresh, crisp sheets. I have been ready to go to bed since I put them on today. It is almost like a clean start. Everything from the past couple of weeks; everything I have worried about, prayed about, studied, dreamt, and everything I "slept on" is no longer something to stress or send time worrying about. When I have any type of decision to make I usually like to sleep on it. Something my Dad has always taught me.
All these things that seemed like such a big deal are washed away and tonight I will be sleeping on a clean pile of nothing! Everything is fresh and new! I like that feeling. I always seem to sleep better on a bed of fresh, clean sheets. Here's to a good night's sleep and clean sheets. It really is the little things in life people. If it would make you feel better go right now and wash your sheets. I assure you, if you have the right mindset you will feel a whole lot better. Oh and when you lay your pretty little head down to sleep tonight... don't forget to be thankful!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful
Blessed is an understatement when it comes to my life. Each and every day I am amazed by God's steadfast love. In return, I have claimed this space to show my thanks and whatever else comes along the way. A recent graduate from Texas Christian University who loves any creative insta post, all donuts, and dress pants that make you do a double take. I pray God has a grand purpose for me and I plan to get there with a little Southern and a lot of Thanks! Join me!

We provide a cost effective bespoke service ranging from low-cost single page adverts to competitive online shops, able to take credit card payments and support thousands of products. Every web project is custom-fit to your budget, business and product type.
Our in-house team will work with you on the design, content and functionality. Working together we can show you how to develop and maintain profitable growth from a modern day business requirement. Below we provide an overview of the different facets of web development we provide. Because we employ an in-house design and development team each aspect is completely flexible and optional for your project.
The look and feel of your site can either be based on an existing framework or created from scratch by our in-house design team. Using an existing template as a framework can reduce the build time of a site dramatically. Meaning that the time allocated by budget can be spent on other aspects of site development and optimisation.
We have hundreds of styles to select from as a starting point. Our team will then collaborate with you to create a working concept; based on example designs you feel best represent your company or product. Once chosen the framework would be customised to include your company colour scheme, logo and images to create a one-of-a-kind custom website whilst still working within budget.
Alternatively a complete bespoke design would provide you with greater flexibility right from the outset. Our in-house design team helloFish would work with you to develop the unique look and message you wish to convey with your site. Our approach is based on your requirements and what your end user should expect. This design is then finalised and modified to display your custom web content.
Wherever possible all site designs (bespoke or otherwise) will be responsive, meaning that your website content will automatically resize and restructure based on the device it's viewed on e.g. tablet, mobile phone or PC. Meaning that your text and photos layouts will be optimised for your visitor's device. Ensuring that your website is engaging to the visitor regardless of the device they use to browse it.
If you're a new starter looking for company logos, stationery and branding, or possibly an existing company looking to revamp your current branding then our inhouse design team helloFish can help.
An attractive website design is welcoming, but bad content can still lose visitors. You may only have seconds of their time before they click onto another site. Great copy should be persuasive, interesting and engaging to a visitor.
Our copywriting services ensures that your company has a consistent voice throughout your marketing, informational and advertising campaigns. A clear message, an emotional impact and a strong call to action is key to ensuring a successful sale or contact from a customer.
Using well written content is also a powerful and tried-and-true method to boost your natural web traffic longterm. Instead of relying on short-term and sometimes costly PPC (pay-per-click) or adwords campaigns, we can help you create articles, blog entries, news items and page content to optimise and shape the type of traffic you receive. Along with ensuring your site is represented by relevant keywords you wish to be found for on search engines.
Visitors have become accustomed to single sentences and bulletpoint lists to advertise services. We can help with creating informative pages with a clear understanding of your products and services. To make sure your business is given the extra push and show to your visitors that you're relevant to their interests.
Results that appear on Google include organic search results and often paid advertisements from ppc (pay-per-click) or adwords campaigns. Paid advertising with Google does not have any effect on your site's presence in the natural search
results. As soon as you stop a paid campaign, you disappear from the front page.
Creating relevant content frequently, monitoring your traffic results and how your site appears on Google can pay dividends longterm. Visitors rarely go onto the second or third page in search engine results so it is imperative to make sure your site is found. BeLogical can help you with keyword analysis, provide full reports on where your traffic is coming from and how your site is perceived within Google search results. Coupled with our copywriting services, we can ensure that your site has the best chance of being found online including in-page links and blog integration. We can also provide information on real time visitor data on your site and tracking from social media pages.
Search engine rankings can be affected by a number of factors including the age of a domain name, relevancy of content on a site and how often a site is updated. We can create custom packages based on business type and budget to get the most out of your web traffic. Including geographic search results and customised keyword campaigns. All of our campaigns are based around natural and organic search results to achieve longterm keyword positions. The idea being that if a visitor searches on Google for an product or service that you provide, they find the relevant page associated with that service with a clear call to action. Not your home page or a list of services with bullet points.
Our in-house team will also ensure that your visitors are notified of any tracking methods with relevant privacy and cookie policies when tracking user's data to keep your site legal.
BeLogical can provide plugins and software that bring a variety of functions for your site. In some cases having that personal touch can put you ahead of your competitors providing a similar product or service. Plugins can extend your site to do almost anything you can imagine including custom contact forms, social sharing buttons, mobile friendly photo galleries, translation services, integrated facebook and twitter feeds, music and video players and so on.
Since each web project is unique for every individual and SME, we will recommend any components that we feel would bring an advantage to your site or business. Similarly let us know if you like an effect or function on any sites that you visit, our team will work with you to find an equivalent for your own business website.
Once your web development is complete and your site is online links to interactive guides will be provided to give you a better understanding on how to edit and amend your website content. We can also arrange bespoke training packages on content creation and proper usage of your site. These training packages can tie into our search engine optimisation services to provide a comprehensive grounding on how to make the most of your site longterm, how to use analytical data and tie that information into your own SEO campaigns.
Periodic maintenance of your site is recommended but optional. We use a variety of content management systems depending on the project at hand. As these systems are fully customisable and running online 24 / 7, they require intermittent updates to ensure the system is kept up to date and secure as possible. These updates can either be installed by yourself or we can arrange scheduled checks on your website. Where our team will create backups, install any relevant updates and replace any out-of-date plugins where applicable.

Sixty-one per cent Americans say they are concerned that they (or a friend or a relative of theirs) might lose a job because the employer is moving that job to a foreign country, says a Gallup Poll.
Forty-one per cent say they are 'very concerned' about this happening, and another one in five (20 per cent) say they are 'somewhat concerned.'
Fifty-eight per cent Americans say that the issue of outsourcing US jobs to foreign countries will be 'very important' when they are deciding their votes for the President (in November), and another one in four (27 per cent) say it will be 'fairly important.'
On an overall basis, satisfaction with the way things are going on in the United States is declining in the US with the Gallup Poll finding that only 4 out of every 10 Americans are satisfied.
The current figures, says Gallup, are the lowest since last March and rank among the lowest of the Bush presidency. They also reflect a considerable partisan divide. Americans most often mention economic concerns as the most important problem facing the country. National security issues such as Iraq and terrorism also figure prominently in Americans' minds.
The latest Gallup Poll shows 39 per cent of Americans as 'satisfied' and 60 per cent as 'dissatisfied' with the way things are going in the United States at this time.
Economic concerns remain the most frequent responses for Americans when they are asked to name the most important problem facing the country, said Gallup.
About one in five say that either the economy (21%) or unemployment (19%) is the nation's top problem. Eleven per cent mention the war in Iraq or fear of war, 10 per cent mention terrorism, and 7 per cent mention national security.

Mike's Wall at Palomar Chiropractic
My friend and neighbor, Dr. Paul Peters has given me some wall space at his chiropractic office in Vista. His business is called Palomar Chiropractic. Paul is a great guy and fellow surfer. Many of his paitents are surfers and other sport types and he has done wonders keeping me (and many others) limber and in the water over the years. Eveyone seems to enjoy the variey of boards and fins that I display.

Eggy Redwood
7'10" x 21" x 1.5" thick and no rocker. Made of redwood heart and sap wood with a ployurethane finish (no glass). This plank rides pretty much like a regluar boards despite it's 25 pounds and minimum float. It paddles good and I'm surprised at the drops I can make despite the dead flat rocker. The fin is redwood, very thin and very flexy, hence the leash loop. I don't think the fin would survive multiple beachings. After a few sessions, I ended up hollowing out the deck. This removed 3-4 pounds and lightened up the nose of the board considerable.
