PROGRESS have a big main event for for the PROGRESS Championship as WALTER faces Mark Haskins a man who never lost the title and has been waiting two years to get his hands on the title again. Aussie Open make another tag title defence and a Dramatic Dream Team roster member makes his PROGRESS debut. All this and more from PROGRESS Chapter 78: 24 Hour Progress People.
Match 1: Isla Dawn vs Lana Austin
Dawn's last match with Millie McKenzie went to a no contest thanks to interference from the House Of Couture (Jinny & Laura Di Matteo). She still awaits her first Chapter show victory and faces a tough task if she is to earn it. Lana Austin has been wrestling all over the UK capturing women's championships in 7 different promotions.
Match 2: Eddie Dennis vs "Speedball" Mike Bailey
DDT regular Mike Bailey makes his PROGRESS debut having competed for almost every other major promotion in the UK such as Over The Top (OTT) Wrestling, Fight Club: PRO, and Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro). The high flier faces a man who is almost certainly a future PROGRESS champion and someone who has spent the last year making sure he gets the respect he feels he deserves. After his year long feud with Mark Andrews and a brutal TLC match at Wembley he has more than earned the fans respect. With his "anytime, anywhere" title shot contract in hand Dennis will want to keep the momentum rolling and beat the talented newcomer.
Match 3: Chris Ridgeway vs Jordan Devlin
Hard As F*ck vs The Irish Ace in an interesting clash of styles. Ridgeway is a shooter who specializes in hard strikes and a good ground game. Devlin is no slouch in that department having come from the NWA Ireland school, which much like NWA: Hammerlock taught a technical style, but Devlin mixes in a bit of high flying to his game and specializes in matches where the pace is faster. Whoever wins will gain a big victory in their climb up the card as Devlin has been on fire in 2018 and Ridgeway has been successful in making the step to the biggest promotions on the scene.
Match 4: David Starr vs Ilja Dragunov
This isn't the first time these two have shared a ring as both have been westside Xtreme wrestling regulars for years. This is though their first going one on one in 2 years and the first time since Dragunov became the talk of the European scene earlier this year. Probably best known as two of WALTER's biggest rivals Dragunov and Starr are excellent wrestlers in their own right. Dragunov is coming off his match with Pete Dunne from Wembley where the two of Europe's best went head to head and he will be looking to get his first singles win in PROGRESS against Starr. Starr was involved in the tag scene leading up to Wembley so makes a transition back into singles competition with this tough test.
Match 5: Progress Atlas Division Championship Open Challenge: Trent Seven (c) vs ???
Trent's first open challenge was answered by Gino Gambino as the division goes back to the days of Rampage Brown's open challenge. The Atlas division is not a defined division as the rules of being in and not being in aren't extremely clear so this could be answered by anyone. Either way, this division deserves better.
Match 6: PROGRESS Tag Team Championships: Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis) (c) vs CTK (Chris Brookes & Timothy Thatcher)
Aussie Open defended their titles for the first time at the last Chapter show, they defeated The 198 and the Grizzle Young Veterans to retain. They face another tough task as Brookes and Thatcher challenge. Brookes is waiting on the return of Kid Lykos but hasn't let that set him back as he has tried to make the team with Thatcher work. Aussie Open will need to repel the attack of teams like this every time out if they want to cement themselves as the top tag team in the division.
Match 7: PROGRESS World Championship: WALTER (c) vs Mark Haskins
On the 30th of October 2016, Mark Haskins was forced to vacate the PROGRESS Championship due to his neck issues. Many were unsure if we would ever see him wrestle again. Just over two years later he has a chance to win the championship that he never lost. In that time Haskins has captured the main championships in five companies but never been able to reach the top of PROGRESS' mountain. To reach the top of the figurative mountain he will need to beat a real mountain in WALTER. The dominant Austrian has been the UK's most dominant performer in 2018 winning gold everywhere he's been and defeating everyone that's been put in front of him. Haskins has proven time and time again to be one of the UK's best but does he have what it takes to unseat one of the World's best?

I have been laboring (sarcasm--because I love it) over the past few weeks.
Frequenting several swap meets and going on thrift store runs, all to attempt to find as many tarnished silver trays/jugs, oddly/organically shaped vases, all things colorful, lace, old books and so on. Alex and I set up a shoot in our backyard to showcase several of the pieces I've found. I am so excited about all of them:

fter waiting eight months for the DOJ to turn over the "electronic communication" (EC) – the document which the FBI used to launch the original counterintelligence investigation against the Trump campaign, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) told Fox News that upon review – the EC reveals that no intelligence was used to launch the probe.
Nunes also touched on the fact that Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal pushed anti-Trump memos to the Obama State Department, written by Clinton "hatchet man" Cody Shearer and passed to Jonathan Winer, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.
"We now know that there was no official intelligence that was used to start this investigation. We know that Sidney Blumenthal and others were pushing information into the State Department. So we're trying to piece all that together and that's why we continue to look at the State Department," Nunes told Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures."
,@DevinNunes: "We do know that longtime associates of @HillaryClinton, including Sidney Blumenthal and another person named, I think, Cody Shearer, were actively giving information to the @StateDept that was somehow making its way to the @FBI." #SundayFutures @MariaBartiromo pic.twitter.com/nUw5gIHCB7
— Fox News (@FoxNews) April 22, 2018
"We are not supposed to spy on each other's citizens, and it's worked well," he said. "And it continues to work well. And we know it's working well because there was no intelligence that passed through the Five Eyes channels to our government. And that's why we had to see that original communication."
This is relevant because the FBI says that the Trump investigation was kicked off after Australian diplomat Alexander Downer told the FBI that Trump campaign associate George Papadopoulos drunkenly admitted in a London pub that the Russians had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. The New York Times reported last December that "Australian officials passed the information about Mr. Papadopoulos to their American counterparts, according to four current and former American and foreign officials with direct knowledge of the Australians' role."
This was clearly not true according to the EC, which states that no intelligence passed through Five Eyes official channels.
Many have also raised questions over the fact that Alexander Downer, the source of the intelligence which launched the Trump investigation (and not through official channels) is absolutely a friend of the Clintons.
According to information provided by Australian policeman-turned investigative journalist, Michael Smith – the Clinton Foundation received some $88 million from Australian taxpayers between 2006 and 2014, reaching its peak in 2012-2013 – which was coincidentally (we're sure) Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard's last year in office. Smith names several key figures in his complaints of malfeasance, including Bill and Hillary Clinton and Alexander Downer.
The materials Smith gave to the FBI concern the MOU between the Clinton Foundation's HIV/AIDs Initiative (CHAI) and the Australian government.
Smith claims the foundation received a "$25M financial advantage dishonestly obtained by deception" as a result of actions by Bill Clinton and Downer, who was then Australia's minister of foreign affairs.
Also included in the Smith materials are evidence he believes shows "corrupt October 2006 backdating of false tender advertisements purporting to advertise the availability of a $15 million contract to provide HIV/AIDS services in Papua New Guinea on behalf of the Australian government after an agreement was already in place to pay the Clinton Foundation and/or associates."-Lifezette
And during the various Russia probes, Congressional investigators weren't told about Downer's connection to the Clinton Foundation.
"Republicans say they are concerned the new information means nearly all of the early evidence the FBI used to justify its election-year probe of Trump came from sources supportive of the Clintons, including the controversial Steele dossier," reports The Hill.
"The Clintons' tentacles go everywhere. So, that's why it's important," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chairman of a House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee. "We continue to get new information every week it seems that sort of underscores the fact that the FBI hasn't been square with us."
State Department in the Crosshairs
Nunes then told Fox's Maria Bartiromo that the House Intel Committee is now honing in on the State Department due to signs of "major irregularities" in how the alleged Papadopoulos comments reached U.S. intelligence agencies.
"We know a little bit about that because of what some of the State Department officials themselves have said about that," Nunes said, adding that "We have to make sure that our agencies talk and they work out problems. We have to make sure that they don't spy on either Americans citizens or that we're not spying on British citizens."
Still, Nunes doesn't know whether former secretary of state, and then-Democratic challenger to Trump in the election, was pulling the strings of the investigation launched against her political opponent. However, he said it is known that two long-time Clinton associates – including Sidney Blumenthal – were "actively" giving information to the State Department, which "was somehow making its way to the FBI." –Fox Business
Meanwhile, as we reported in February, a former official in President Obama's State Department has confirmed a claim by the Senate Judiciary Committee, that former British spy Christopher Steele and Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal gave him intelligence reports claiming that President Trump had been compromised by the Russians.
Jonathan Winer, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, confirmed the Judiciary Committee's claims in an op-ed for the Washington Post titled "Devin Nunes is investigating me: Here's the Truth."
"While talking about that hacking, Blumenthal and I discussed Steele's reports. He showed me notes gathered by a journalist I did not know, Cody Shearer, that alleged the Russians had compromising information on Trump of a sexual and financial nature," writes Winer.
In September 2016, Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the "dossier."Steele's sources suggested that the Kremlin not only had been behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign but also had compromised Trump and developed ties with his associates and campaign.
Winer's op-ed corroborates the series of events outlined in a criminal referral for Steele issued by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), which asks the DOJ to investigate Steele for allegedly lying to the FBI about his contacts with the media.
Winer then gave Steele various anti-Trump memos from Clinton operative Sidney Blumenthal, which originated with Clinton "hatchet man" Cody Shearer. Winer claims he didn't think Steele would share the Clinton-sourced information with anyone else in the government.
"But I learned later that Steele did share them — with the FBI, after the FBI asked him to provide everything he had on allegations relating to Trump, his campaign and Russian interference in U.S. elections," Winer writes.
Comey Memos
Nunes then said that the release of the Comey memos was significant in that they would seem to exonerate President Trump of collusion.
The mainstream media and the dems have been running around talking about collusion, collusion, collusion. when they realized there was no collusion, they moved on to obstruction of justice, obstruction of justice, obstruction of justice.
"Once you read all of the Comey memos, it becomes Exhibit A in the defense that there was no obstruction of justice."
The Chairman also noted that the Comey memos reveal Trump actually wanted his campaign investigated, telling Bartiromo "when you have the President of the US saying "Look, investigate all of my people. If anyone in my campaign was colluding with the Russians, I wanna know and they need to be brought to justice," Adding "Something of that nature is in the Comey memos."
Nunes also pointed out that Comey and Andrew McCabe are probably both in quite a bit of trouble:
Nunes: When you match up Mr. Comey's memos with what's in his book, with the interviews that he's giving I think he's got a lot of problems coming in the future as it relates to what the IG is looking at into his behavior during the Clinton email investigation.
Bartiromo: What kind of problems? We know that the IG has recommended criminal charges against his former deputy Andrew McCabe.
Nunes: "His lawyer has said no, Mr. Comey is lying – is essentially what Mr. McCabe is saying, that Comey did give him the right to go to the press… Clearly the IG believed Mr. Comey that he did not give Mr. McCabe the ability to go to the press.
Nunes then went into Comey's conduct – positing that the former FBI Director "laundered" classified memos to a friend, who leaked them to the New York Times – and that others may have received them as well.
The memos that he wrote – the seven memos that he wrote on President Trump, noting that Comey hadn't written memos on anyone else – four of them were classified. He decided to then launder them to a friend, who leaked them to the New York Times. If those memos contained classified information, he purposely did that, he purposely leaked them to get a Special Counsel started after he was fired. He leaked pieces of these, so we need to figure out exactly what is it he leaked. Who did he give these memos to? Was it just the friend that leaked them to the New York Times, or were there others? I believe there were others, I believe these Comey memos were actually given to several people – that contained classified information. The irony is – the very thing that Mr. Comey cleared Mrs. Clinton of.
All of that said – whether or not the noose is actually tightening around anyone's neck is up to the DOJ, as they can simply ignore the various criminal referrals made against McCabe and others. What can't be denied, at this point, is that both the Mueller investigation and the original counterintelligence investigation launched against Donald Trump and his campaign – and the complicit narrative-shaping performed by the MSM – appear to have been a highly coordinated effort to prevent Hillary Clinton from losing the White House.
Trump advisors Joe diGenova and Alan Dershowitz discussed just Hannity Saturday – with Dershowitz somehow coming to the conclusion that the entirety of the ongoing against Trump are nothing more than coincidence.

Knuth Golf to Launch Four New High Heat Hybrids, Plus 5 and 7 Woods at PGA Show's Demo Day January 24
(BONITA, CA) – The family of Knuth Golf's award-winning High Heat metal woods is expanding in 2017 with the addition of four new hybrids and two new fairway woods. Knuth Golf will introduce its new High Heat clubs at Tee Box 7 at the Demo Day portion of the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Tuesday January 24 at Orange County National.
At last year's PGA Show it was the High Heat 3-wood and #3 hybrid that captured the headlines, featuring much of the same technology as the driver, and a3clubsdding a wider Beta titanium face instead of the traditional steel face. This combination makes it much easier to get the ball into the air, and provides extra distance especially on off-center hits.
Ed Travis of The A Position wrote, "Titanium being lighter and stronger than steel produces a larger amount of face rebound at impact and that translates into something we all want…distance without added effort." The clubs again climbed atop many media "top products" lists.
That's what golfers have come to expect from the High Heat clubs designed by former USGA Senior Director Dean Knuth, who created the USGA Course Rating and Slope System for handicapping purposes.
Colorado Avid Golfer editor Jon Rizzi is a big fan of the Knuth line of metalwoods. His magazine named the High Heat driver as the best golf product of 2015.
"Dean Knuth designed High Heat specifically for amateur golfers because they have different swing speeds and performance needs than golf pros," said Rizzi. "And High Heat out performs the major brands in every way except for marketing . . . High Heat delivers as advertised."
All of the positive reviews bring smiles to the faces of Knuth and his business partner Steve Trattner.
"Our chief goal has always been to assist amateur golfers of all skill levels in their quest to get better and gain more enjoyment from golf," said Knuth. "The positive response just verifies what we have created thus far."
This year's additions promise to elicit the same type of positive response. The complete High Heat fairway woods family will now be available in 3-wood, 5-wood and 7-wood models. Hybrid choices will be #3 (18 degrees), #4 (21 degrees), #5 (24 degrees), #6 (27 degrees) and #7 (30 degrees) models.
Noted club designer and builder for 24 Hall of Fame golfers, Jeff Sheets, considers Knuth Golf's family of fairway woods and hybrids "scientific breakthrough designs with significant performance advantages for amateur golfers including scratch to high handicappers that no other fairway woods or hybrids have achieved."
Sheets added that with "proper recognition," these clubs "could change the way that the large OEMs design their drivers, fairway woods and hybrids, which would be great for amateur golfers and help grow the game of golf."

By Emmanuel Aziken
President Muhammadu Buhari last week cited the need to get people personally known to him as the reason for his dithering procrastination in naming his ministers.
The president by that, confirmed the claim by the First Lady that those he did not know and who did not contribute to the election victory of the All Progressives Congress, APC, hijacked the machinery of government in his first term.
Insecurity: PDP chides Buhari over alleged insensitive comments(Opens in a new browser tab)
His decision to look for those he knows may actually flow from perceptions that the first cabinet was not up to it in addressing the three cardinal campaign agenda of the president, to wit; economy, anti-corruption, and security.
However, given past scripts of the president being a taciturn and largely unsocial person, the search for those the president personally knows is bound to be tasking. If the president took six months in 2015, to pick those he didn't know, mathematical progression posits that he may well take years to find those he knows as cabinet ministers.
Remember that last time when the president went out of his way to appoint those he knew personally, some of them were later discovered to have died. Many of those alive were discovered to be well advanced in years. Nigeria's ambassador to the United States is 82 years, while the one to the United Kingdom is 79 this year.
The uncertainty in the formation of the new cabinet after serving a four-year term lays bare the fact that the president may not have been satisfied with the performance of these 'strangers' who worked with him in the first four years. Many of the governors who were first elected in 2015, as the president, have, however, been more proactive on the same issue. In Akwa Ibom for instance, Governor Udom Emmanuel on the basis of the sound delivery of his campaign promises and the popular mandate he won for a second term returned all but one of his commissioners.
President Buhari's mentee, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai was even more forward looking in designating portfolios to his commissioner nominees submitted to the Kaduna State House of Assembly.
Buhari's Qualification : A'Court reserves judgment(Opens in a new browser tab)
However, admitting that the federal administration was scrappy in the delivery of its agenda would fly in the face of the glittering records that administration officials repeatedly claimed over the last four years.
In security, for example, the recurring claim was first that Boko Haram had been defeated. That was followed by chants of technical defeat and subsequently, the imprecise assertion of an insurgency that has been degraded.
The president's assertion of picking only those he knows to work in his cabinet could put the president's prospects in jeopardy.
What if the people the president know are not up to the job? In the education sector for example, does the fact that virtually all the heads of education parastatals speak the president's language, come from one side of the country and worship the same religion helped in raising educational standards over the last four years? Nigeria is such a big, diversified and endowed country that one man cannot on his own know the best human resources across the country. The exemplary leadership recruitment style of Mallam El-Rufai is indeed revealing. In his first term, several of those El-Rufai chose to work with him were not personally known to him. They were brought into government on the basis of competence and many were reappointed on that score.
Projecting competence may also have its challenges as El-Rufai discovered last week. One of the commissioner nominees proposed by El-Rufai was later discovered to have been a harsh critic of the governor on social media. That was after postings he made in the past were unearthed and laid before him at the screening by the House of
Assembly. The state House of Assembly apparently on the prompting of the
Government House dropped the nominee.
Remarkably, many of those the president know, who fought for his victory in 2015, are no longer available. Some have simply moved on after the first government was formed and they were left behind. Uche Onyeagocha who fought with President Buhari in the trenches from 2003, was so messed up by the president's new friend, Rochas Okorocha that he was forced out of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Okorocha fought Onyeagocha for the simple reason that he did not know him! It was
apparent that Okorocha was strange to the virtuous political predilections that Onyeagocha and Buhari espoused Onyeagocha joined with the insurgency against Okorocha and is today the Secretary to State Government in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP controlled Imo State.
Many others who the president knew in the days of his struggle and remain in the APC have now given up. Some of them prefer not to be known by the president any more!

Drug addiction can be a particularly dangerous problem when the addict is a parent, but in a recent case in Pennsylvania, a woman is now facing criminal charges for using drugs while pregnant. It's a sad case for everyone involved and here's what you should know about the situation courtesy of Vista child abuse defense lawyer Peter M. Liss.
The woman in this case has a long history of heroin addiction and continued to use even while she was pregnant. At some point during her seventh month, she overdosed on the drug and when her boyfriend discovered her, he took her to the hospital where doctors induced labor in order to save the child. The baby barely survived, having to be resuscitated and stay under constant life support. It was later determined to be brain dead and may be taken off of life support in the near future. The mother was charged with aggravated assault of an unborn child and may even be charged with homicide if the baby does not survive.
In California, the case would be handled a lot differently. In fact, while the story is heartbreaking, the mother would almost certainly not have been charged at all. Our state does allow for criminal charges for those who murder a fetus, but there is no corresponding manslaughter charge so a Fallbrook criminal attorney would make sure that without any evidence of violent intent or malice, she couldn't be brought up on charges. Similarly, while mothers who pass on drugs to their babies through breast milk can be charged with child endangerment or even child abuse, these charges cannot be brought up in cases involving fetuses.
While there are many child advocates who feel the mother in this case should be punished, most Escondido child abuse defense lawyers point out that the mother has already suffered drastically through the loss of her child. Cases like this point out the need for improved addition recovery services so those who wish to quit don't have to do it alone.
If you have been accused of any type of crime involving the use of drugs or involving the abuse of children, remember that anything you say can be used against you. Please call (760) 643-4050 to schedule a free initial consultation with top Rancho Bernardo defense attorney Peter M. Liss.

Its as if we are at the final lap of the strike (yeah, we keep getting closer by the day) but now I think the end is for real now… Many are tired of the endless "next weeks" and some are even out of the country now (End of the year chilling has started niyen) whether they call it off isn't their problem as school business won't start fully until next year anyway.
Whichever way it happens though, this according to Sahara Reporters is how Federal Government plans to spend on Universities – it was published some weeks ago but for those who haven't seen it – here it is.
Towards ending the ongoing FACE OFF between ASUU and the Federal Government, the Federal Government is committed to spending N200 billion in the 2014 budget on the universities as well as on each of the next three-four years until the universities are brought to world-class standard (Halelluyah somebody?) This is in addition to the N100 billion dedicated and already made available for 2013.
The government has also increased to N40 billion as a first installment, funds for the payment of earned allowances to the striking lecturers, an improvement from the N30 billion previously released. (This increase in cash has been pledged for projects on the campuses aside the earned allowances due to the teachers have been increased from the initial N30 billion offer. ASUU initially rejected the offer totally insisting on policy implementation claiming that they don't trust this government.) So, ASUU clearly go their wish.
This information is contained in an internal Federal University of Otuoke statement by Professor Bolaji Aluko, its Vice-Chancellor, as seen by SaharaReporters. Read the facts from the document below.
On the earned allowances, Prof. Aluko explained that:
"Government will top it up with further releases once universities are through with the disbursement of this new figure of N40 million, so Vice-Chancellors are urged to expedite this disbursement within the shortest possible time using guiding templates that have been sent by the CVC," the circular said.
Professor Aluko said the development followed meetings on September 19 and Oct 11 of representatives of the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities, led by CVC Chairman, Prof. Hamisu of ATBU and ASUU Representatives led by its President, Dr. N. Fagge with the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. Namadi. Sambo, Minister of Education Barr. N. Wike and others.
Of great interest to stakeholders, Vice President Sambo, appealing to ASUU to call off the strike, apologized for the "take-it-or-leave-it" comments credited to the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala at the onset of the strike. The Minister did not seem to have been involved in either meeting, perhaps as the government's way of soothing the feelings of the university teachers.
Other points of agreement at the meetings include the following:
Project Prioritization:
Universities will now be allowed to determine their priorities and not be "rail-roaded" into implementing a pre-determined set of projects with respect to the NEEDS assessment. (Is somebody dancing already?)
Decisions are not to be centralized. TETFund Intervention:
Government assured that the operations of the TETFund will not be impaired, and that the regular TETFund intervention disbursement to Universities will continue, unaffected. So the NEEDS assessment capital outlays are in addition to regular TETFund intervention.
Project Monitoring:
A new Implementation Monitoring Committee (IMC) for the NEEDS Assessment intervention for universities has been set up to take over from the Suswan Committee. The new one is under the Federal Ministry of Education and chaired by the Honorable Minister of Education. In addition, to build confidence and ensure faithful implementation and prevent any relapse as before, the Vice President will meet quarterly with the IMC to monitor progress.
ASUU was mandated to submit a blue print for revitalizing the Universities to the Vice President. Prof. Aluko further stated that a signed document will soon be issued to itemize the full issues on which the consensus he had outlined here, as brokered by AVCNU, was reached.
Prof. Aluko further stated that a signed document will soon be issued to itemize the full issues on which the consensus he had outlined here, as brokered by AVCNU, was reached.
It would be great if all these promises are implemented as then, would it be a worthy strike – so, I guess we have to wait and see how this would play out once the strike is called off, officially. If we would start seeing some dramatic changes in our universities.

This morning at church was our annual Thanksgiving Day service. Every year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving instead of having our traditional service we set up tables, sit with our church family, sing and share whatever is on your heart that you are thankful remembering that biblical thanksgiving is not based on our circumstances, the material possessions in our lives, or even the people as wonderful as they may be. Thanksgiving is being grateful for the work of Christ in your life giving glory to God for what He has done, what He is doing and what He will do in our lives and through our lives.
Because the last few years God has redirected my life in many ways, I always want to share something. Not because I am overflowing with huge amazing things happening, but because I am overflowing with grace upon grace in the midst of my sinful heart that is being renewed day by day. To my own eyes, the most noticeable difference in me is the desire to share, to not keep anything inside, to be transparent whether with the good or the bad to hopefully encourage another and to maybe set an example, even if that example is what NOT to do! I am learning (most times happily) to be the guinea pig of new situations so that others might can step forward without as much fear to the newness of change. If you know anything about me you know that is proof of divine intervention and the sanctification process. New and Change are not words usually associated with Sarah May!
As I attempted to share what I wanted to share I realized another reason, possibly the main reason, I love to write. When writing (or typing in this case) crying does not mess up your train of thought or your voice or the color of your face. No matter how hard I concentrate, use breathing tactics or prepare to speak in front of people about anything involving any kind of emotion, tears inevitably follow. It is so insanely frustrating. My pastor tends to love it because it conveys real feeling and emotion, but I on the other hand would love to convey a feeling, opinion, or experience without having to stop, shake, and cut myself short for fear that none of my words will be heard because everyone is just staring at the hot mess unfolding. Sigh.
So for my own heart, and hopefully at least encouragement for one, I am going to share (tear free!!) what God placed on my heart for this morning. The words definitely did not come out this smoothly or entirely phrased this way. Maybe in a perfect world but our world is far from perfect as am I. Why it was this story over any other I don't know except to say that most times God speaks to your heart when you're being brat, not when you're being the best.
A few weeks ago I had a mini break down. Nothing huge and important, just one of those normal I'm a girl and sometimes the only thing you can do is cry because its the most helpful tool at your disposal. Sorry for any females that this offends, if you do not have those girlish moments I am most jealous of your ability to hold yourself together. I was not given that skill and have given my children the same non ability! I don't remember what exactly triggered the reaction. My list of pressure points is long these days though compared to a year ago it's impressively short.
I was sitting in my car in the driveway on the phone with Zach not ugly crying per say but with definite tears streaming. Its in these moments that it is most helpful, when you are talking to someone who you trust and who loves you, to blurt out that one thing that you don't want to say out loud. The thing I most wanted to say, that I was most angry and frustrated about, was that literally NOTHING has been consistent in my life the last six years except for God, not my home, my family, my marriage, my children, my church, NOTHING! Surely there are people in the world who have something else that is just there for them to lean on!?
The worst part was that I wasn't content with just God. I had blurted out the basic principal of the Gospel, the amazing grace given by an all knowing, all presence, all powerful Creator and Father who never leaves, is always there and fulfills every promise. It wasn't enough for me that day. That day I wanted tangible, I wanted something I could go to that was right in front of me, I wanted something that I should only be going to God for anyway.
Praise Him that I only acted like a brat for a short period. It didn't take much repeating of that phrase to myself, confessing to my Friday morning girls, and reminders of divine provision from Zach, for me to instead be saying nothing in life will ever be consistent except for God and the gift of His Son and Spirit. Nothing will ever live up to who He is and what He does. Nothing can fulfill for me the promises given. Thank you that I don't have to count on another sinful being to be consistency for me. Instead we can be inconsistent together while clinging to Hope together.
We have lost a lot in the last few years but we have gained even more. And while they can't and shouldn't have to carry the weight and perform the tasks of my Heavenly Father, I have had many beautifully, "inconsistent" people walking alongside me of which I am most undeserving.
So the next time you have the desire just to cry, let the tears fall, and the next time you don't want to say that terrible sentence that is at the tip of your tongue, say it out loud, then listen to the words and let them turn your heart towards God reminding you of who He is and what you are because you're His. It's all Him. Praise God.
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

HONOLULU (AP) – The Hawaii state employee who mistakenly sent an alert warning of a ballistic missile attack earlier this month is refusing to cooperate with federal and state investigators.
The head of the Federal Communications Commission Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau told a U.S. Senate hearing on Thursday the FCC is pleased with the cooperation it's received so far from Hawaii Emergency Management Agency leadership.
But Lisa Fowlkes says the commission is disappointed that the employee who transmitted the false alert is refusing to cooperate. She says she hopes the person will reconsider.
Hawaii Emergency Management Agency spokesman Richard Rapoza says his agency has encouraged all employees to cooperate with all investigations. But he says this employee also has refused to cooperate with the agency's internal investigations.

The day started out with such promise. It was still raining but was supposed to break soon. I love trying to capture images on stormy days – at least when the camera is not getting wet. This evening we were going to see part of the annual migration of the Sandhill Cranes at the Pixley National Wildlife Refuge. In my mind I was looking for a beautiful sunset after the storm, images of the cranes filling my lens and really hoping for a combination of the two.
As predicted, the storm passed and the partly cloudy skies over Visalia and the Sierras looked awesome for an evening of photography. Excitement is building. Rush home from work, grab the camera gear, don't forget the Wife and off we go.
Alas, the dream image was not to be had this evening. Far from it. The crisp clear skies with well defined clouds turned hazy (like getting ready for fog tomorrow). And the flocks of birds decided to spend their day foraging to the north and west of the marshlands. When they returned in mass, it was not only not over us, it was not even near us. I don't own lenses that big to reach that far.
So what you see in images are going to be deleted but they still tell a story and that is what the rest of this post is about. And I plan to return because the promise of great images is still there.
I had never been here before so I was surprised that this was more a grasslands habitat than marshes with trees. Of course, if I had read their website first, I would have known better.
The Pixley biologist said the number of Cranes was presently around 3,000 and by January peaks around 7,000. They usually arrive right about sunset which already created an issue to photograph them. Moving objects in darkness is bound to be blurred.
As we awaited the main event, we saw flocks of Seagulls arriving from wherever they were scavenging their food. I have seen them in large numbers around the county dumps.
For me the most fascinating part of the evening was seeing the thousands of White-faced Ibis arriving. Still images can not capture the gracefulness of the swarms as they swooped, swirled and dove. Some huge swarms would be swirling around and upon some hidden signal suddenly drop out of the sky to earth and disappear – all of them at once! Again, they were too far away for detail image capture.
Here is a short video clip of the Ibis since still images don't do it justice:
As dark was settling in, the Sandhill Cranes started to arrive by the hundreds at a time. You could actually hear them before you could see them. They are a raucous bunch. Unfortunately most were coming from the far side of the Refuge (north and west) and landing on the far side too. None flew from the south over our observation platform. Here are a few images from those that flew the closest.
There are more images and video clips in my gallery here: http://www.creatorspalette.com/California/Tulare-County/Pixley-National-Wildlife/
Why So Far Away?
Apparently the record rains last December flooded the Preserve and one of the retaining levies closest to this observation platform failed. It was only repaired a few weeks ago when the water was lowest and thus this corner has the least water right now. So the water fowl have settled into the further reaches of the wetlands making it the disappointment we had this visit. Our main hope for good images was to have the Cranes fly overhead since they would not be settling in close by. By next winter, assuming an average rain year, all should be back to normal.
My friend, Tim Scott (an extraordinary photographer), captured this image a few years ago which helps motivate me to return.
I'll be back.

Texas Pole Tax
Texas is a grand state. It always has been, and that is why we love it. After all, which other state can match this motto: "Fuck you, we're from Texas!"
In fact, one of the main reasons we look forward to visiting this state is for its renegade status highlighted by its endless thorn bush landscape. It's only in Texas where so-called strip bars can coexist next to Wal-Marts and waterslides, and where men, and women, can take a load off by gazing at Southern belles and olive Latinas.
Thus, and in all honesty, it's a bit baffling to find out that Texas has just instituted a "pole tax": a $5 surcharge to be paid by all visitors wishing to gawk at naked women. Yes, $5 bucks, but keep in mind this is during a time of economic recession and when a lone table dance can run you well into the $25 range (not that we would know). Texas legislators see this as a way to fund programs intended to support victims of sexual assaults. One expects this from California, Massachusetts, or hell, even New York. But Texas?
As The Economist rightly points out, this is a cause worthy of applause, but it rests on faulty cause-effect assumptions. Texas lawmakers were convinced, but unconvinced when a similar tax scheme for strip bars was proposed to help pay for public schools. Apparently it would have passed muster had the public schools taught strip dancing.

We thought we should write this post because of the regular inquiries we receive from customers and sporting fans wanting to Do-Your-Own, football jumpers, soccer tops, cricket shirts framing, using cheap, ready-made, poster frames. Typically they tell us that they have a family football jumper they want quickly framed for a fast approaching birthday or looming event. Often they just don't only want the jumper framed, they also want photos, tickets, scarves or what have you, combined and all framed together. They further explain that as their budget is a bit tight, they are thinking of doing the framing themselves since custom picture framing it would cost an arm and a leg. These callers go on to say that they have seen online our very cheap 70x100cms black Ready-Made Poster Frames and A0 Black Ready-Made Poster Frames. And the questions they ask us are ... pretty much the same. Do we think that they will be able to frame their football shirts and any added memorabilia with our ready-made picture frames? Invariably we say no, but saying no to Customers isn't easy nowadays so we always end up engaging in a conversation explaining the why and wherefores our answer is in the negative. Perhaps the most important reason for saying no to ready-made picture frames or poster frames for football jumpers is the fact that people don't know or won't know how to properly stretch and mount a jumper or shirt before framing it. The illustration of the green US football shirt herein pretty much shows what we mean by this. It is evident that the shirt has been simply been folded and put inside the frame as it is, without any pre-work or preparation. You might also readily agree that the framed shirt just look terrible and this is largely because it has not been stretched first. More importantly, it has not been stretched to a pre-cut "biscuit" or form. A "biscuit" or form, can be a section of acid-free foamboard or mountboard which the picture framer has pre-cut to size and will take the final size and desired shape. The soft shirt of football jumper is then slipped and stretched over the relatively hard "biscuit" or form, much like putting on a sock on your foot. This stretching over the biscuit is what renders the shirt or football jumper, taut, flat, and without folds, pucks or creases. While the prior described steps sound relatively easy, the practice, skill and experience required to accomplish this can require months, if not years or practice, even for a picture framer. And even after a shirt is properly stretched over its biscuit, careful pinning needs to be done to the cuffs, hem, collar stand, yoke, sleeve plackets and sometimes, to the tale as well. The pinning, most commonly done with 2 or 3cms chrome-plated dressmaker's needles needs to be discreet, so as to be almost invisible, accurate to retain straightness of folds, and strong, so as not to come undone when for instance, the picture frame is being moved or transported. Lastly, the now-stretched shirt or jumper now needs to be fastened to the backing board so as to keep it fixed, centralized within and inside the frame and floating in the centre. The fastening is achieved by using staples, brads, or again, dressmaker's pins and the method will vary according to each picture framer's preference. Some do-you-own hobbyists use strong adhesive tapes or glues to do so, however caution should be exercised when using these, for at least two good reasons.Firstly, adhesives and glues are permanent mounting methods which are contrary to the reversibility criterion which is paramount when framing valuable art. Secondly, most adhesives and glues tend to degrade, break down and release their grip or hold with age. This means that the stretched jumper could fall down and out of its place of own accord while inside the frame and even if no one is handling the frame. If you have kept on reading, thus far, you will have realized that the biscuit-making, stretching, pinning and mounting are methods and operations that require the right materials, tools, accessories, skill, knowledge and experience. In addition, most custom picture framing of a soccer shirt or football jumper will include 3-dimensional framing, with the shirt or top recessed, or sunk-in, and kept away from the glass, rather than being squashed in. Lastly, the item would also be surrounded by a window mat, so as to give the shirt or top those margins or sides that will make it really stand out and enhance its appearance. Again, these are highly skilled methods and operations not readily known, practised or available to most do-your-own hobbyists. And as most do-you-own hobbyists, are highly unlikely to have all and each of these skills, they will generally tend to just stick the shirt in to the frame. This is fast and cheap, but again, if you look at the finished, D.Y.O.photograph in here, the resul is pretty underwhelming, if not downright disappointing. So in the final analysis, customers have two main options. The first one is to put the shirt into a ready-made poster frame themselves, which, and as far as we can tell it could cost around $125 and might finish up looking like this:
The second one is to entrust the shirt for custom picture framing to a professional custom picture framer, like ourselves, for around $275 and it would look like one of these:
The two options have two different price tickets and two very different, finished-product, styles and appearances. Which of these two options is best or preferable, is decided by each customer. However, the professional, custom picture framing option invariably the preferable one for any prized or valued collectable. This is because the professionally framed item, should be easily removable, be framed with acid-free or conservation materials, be framed without the glass resting on it and be pinned and fastened without harmful adhesives or glues. These features are very important when conserving valued items. If the conservation and reversibility principles are adhered to, degradation and deterioration of the art is either greatly minimized or avoided.

So here's the post that this post is based upon.
To recap. This guy, Patanjali, suggested we live our lives according to an eight part plan.
He called this plan Yoga.
Through the years, many people have worked to turn his plan into "holy" text, and him into some kind of deity.
He was no deity. And his plan is exactly that, a plan.
In my humble opinion, it's a pretty good plan.
By following his plan, one can find their life centered, peaceful, and relatively uncluttered by conflict, anger, or anxiety.
He's not the first one to come up with such ideas. But he was the first to be so darned organized about it.
I realize this now because, according to Patanjali's plan, I've been doing yoga since my late teens.
Back then I'd discovered religion. Not just any religion, all religion. And I worked at understanding their commonalities and strengths. It was cool.
It was also the era of books like "I'm OK and You're OK." Self-help books that also offered life plans for happiness and success. I read those as well.
Now that I understand the essence of what Patanjali was writing, I see him for what he was. Another self-help writer.
So, without further ado, here are the eight limbs of yoga presented in modern self-help terms, in my favorite order.
- Samādhi: This is the top of his plan. Call it self-realization or inspiration. It basically means you accept yourself as part of the great infinite universe, and allow yourself the freedom to influence your own fate. You're in charge. I like starting here because it's the grand culmination of everything else Patanjali suggests.
- Dhyāna: This part of yoga means meditation, or at least being thoughtful. Think about one thing. Think about many things. Think about all things. It's OK to meditate in any way you want. The point is to be able to think, calmly, peacefully, and productively. Some people truly freak out about meditating. Don't.
- Dhāraṇā: Concentration. This is the part that worries some people regarding meditation. That's not what Patanjali was telling us. For this part of yoga, he's encouraging us to focus on whatever it is that concerns us. Family? Pain in my hip? Global warming? Doesn't matter. Whatever it is that worries you, or makes you happy, focus on that. Study it. Compare it. Don't get possessive!
- Pratyāhāra: Did I mention not getting possessive? That's what this one is all about. Chill. Don't sweat it. Back off. Watch yourself watching. In the end it's not about you. If you can't do anything about it, then worry less. If you can, then be patient and spend your energy wisely.
- Yama: These next two items are great, because they correspond to the judeo-christian commandments. Every religion has do's and don'ts. These are the DOs.
- Niyama: The "Ni" means no. These are the DON'Ts of yoga.
- Āsana: Here's the exercise part which is how we in the West think of yoga. You see it's far down on my list, but that's not because it's not important. It's rather more a foundation element. And it doesn't mean crazy dancer-like postures. You can run. You can row. You can jump or bicycle. They aren't as efficient as traditional poses, but they are still your asanas. Own them.
- Prānāyāma: This is the ultimate foundation of all yoga. Patanjali is reminding us, that at the bottom of all things, no matter what's bothering us or what the situation is, JUST BREATH. Isn't that great advice?
There you have it. Ancient wisdom in modern terms. Patanjali's 8 point plan in modern parlance.
I recommend it. I've been using it for decades now, and feel great!

|Assessment of the Promastigote to Amastigote Differentiation
Process in the Protozoan Leishmania
|Department of Biology
|Professor Emeritus Dan Zilberstein
Leishmania are the causative agents of a wide range of visceral and cutaneous diseases in humans. Following changes in the environment Leishmania undergo a developmental transformation between the extracellular promastigote form in the sand fly vector and the obligatory intracellular amastigote form in phagolysosomes of human macrophages. The aim of my work was to understand the mechanisms that mediate the differentiation signal and initiate promastigote to amastigote differentiation in L. donovani. Specific objectives were: a)
to investigate cell cycle regulation of differentiation; b) to reveal the signal transduction pathways that mediate the differentiation signal and c) to identify genes involved in these processes.
A host-free differentiation system that was developed in our laboratory was used in this study. In this system exposing promastigotes to pH 5.5 and 370C (differentiation signal), trigger promastigote to amastigote differentiation. We found that this signal induced transient cell cycle arrest at G1 for 3 hours and chromatin condensation. We showed that parasite exposure to 370C induced the protein-misfolding signaling pathway, causing the exit of parasite cells from the cell cycle. Acidic pH releases the cells from arrest and routes them into differentiation. Using genomic and proteomic approaches we identified a few genes that are differentially expressed during promastigote to amastigote differentiation. These genes will be utilized to further investigate the differentiation process and its regulation.

Song Review: NF's "Mansion"
April 10, 2018
Lyricists are known for thinking deeply and coming up with great metaphors and this is also the main goal of rappers. There is perhaps no one as adept at this as rapper Nathan Feuerstein, A.K.A. NF. Today I will talk of one of the biggest metaphors to come out of NF's music and that is the song "Mansion," which was released from the same named studio album.
The song starts with a beautiful chorus sung by Fleurie that opens with the lines "Insidious is blind inception. What's reality with all these questions?" This first line refers to how starting with an unknowing can be detrimental. The second line sends a bit of a contradiction by asking what the point of reality is if you're always asking questions about it. Then, the chorus sings,
"Broken legs, but I chase perfection.
These walls are my blank expression.
My mind is a home I'm trapped in, and
it's lonely inside this mansion."
The first piece of this section speaks to how Nate feels broken and incapable, yet he is still going to chase his dreams. The next lines bring out how his mind is a harmful trap and how he feels all alone in it.
Then we enter into the first verse as NF begins to rap about his mind, which is represented by a mansion. In this mansion, there are lyrics everywhere. He talks of how each room contains its own story represented by the lyrics on the walls. He then tells us that the downstairs is where you get the darker side of his life.
He states,
"I put holes in the walls with both my fists till they bleed.
you might get a glimpse of how I cope with all this anger in me."
Nathan is rapping about how the way he copes can sometimes be damaging to himself and his psyche.
He then talks about the room that is the center of his pain and rage which is rooted in the abuse he experienced. He says, "Wish I could take a match and burn this whole room to the ground. Matter of fact, I think I'ma burn this room right now. Somehow, this memory, for some reason, just won't come down."
He wishes he could destroy the memory of the abuse but for some reason he can't burn it out of his mind. He then raps up the verse by saying that his abuser will always have a room in his mind but he's going to "…lock the lyrics inside," cutting people off from that experience.
The second verse talks about how Nathan tries to cover up his issues instead of solve them. Starting off by rapping, "See, my problem is, I don't fix things, I just try to repaint. Cover 'em up, like it never happened, say I wish I could change."
These lines discuss how despite knowing his issues, Nate doesn't change them; he just covers them up. He then talks about the room in which his regrets are stored. He tells us that this room always makes him feel sick but Nathan can't look past his regrets because they're in the same room where he sleeps. He then goes on to finish the verse by talking about some of his regrets.
In the third verse NF discusses his safe room by telling us he doesn't let people in cause he's scared they'll leave. He says, "You might get other doors open, but this door's not, cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me."
Nate is afraid of opening up to people about deep things because he's afraid it will scare people away from him. He then goes on to talk about the fact that he built the mansion because he thought it would be safe, but it isn't because he let fear in and fear won't leave. At the end he wraps it up saying, "Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore," revealing that he can't tell the difference between himself and his fear.
There's more to this song, and in my opinion, this song deserves a 4.5/5. "Mansion" has the potential to be a true powerhouse in the music world. The chorus has a beautiful eerie feel and the verses pack a sick flow of parables. All in all, this song is definitely a part of the A-tier list of rap songs.

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Galatians 6:9
One of the hardest lessons to learn in our journey with Jesus is to wait on the Lord. Praying for loved ones, believing for provision or whatever our prayer request, it seems God is always too minutes till too late!
The reality of God's time table doesn't have to do with human time, it has to do with what He has to accomplish in order to answer our prayer and His will for every situation! For instance, Jesus's friend Lazarus got sick and his sisters called for Him to come and pray for him. Jesus took His own sweet time as we would say and showed up too late to save His friend but He made the funeral.
You can imagine the anguish that Lazarus's sisters felt, believing their good friend Jesus would come and save the day, but something else was happening that they didn't have any knowledge of, the glory of God was going to be displayed before the whole world and one of the most famous miracles of God's grace in all of history was about to take place before their very eyes! God had a much greater purpose for Lazarus and that was to validate the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ by raising a man who was dead and decomposing for four days in the grave.
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under Heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
"A certain man had two sons. "And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood. "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living." Luke 15:11-13
Being a prodigal myself, I am an authority on the subject and have experienced the famous "Pig pen!" I have a PhD in "Pig pen theology" having graduated with honors on January 7th 1980, born again and delivered from a $2000.00 a week cocaine addiction among other things, many other things!
Upon inheriting a multi-million dollar business and 7-1/2 acres of prime industrial real estate at 25, it only took me eight years to squander my inheritance and land in the pig pen! Mine was a junk yard next to our manufacturing plant where I cut scrap metal in the sweltering heat of the Texas sun. I remember my friends driving by in their expensive cars as I was wasting away in this hellish place, making very little and then spending it on drugs until I hit bottom and someone began to pray!
This is how God's timing comes into play, how long does it take to break a man and bring him to the point of his salvation? It took eight years for me, but what about all the other prodigal wives, husbands, children, etc. who have gone off in rebellion? This is why we don't lose heart, because it is up to the Father. The prodigal son had to come to a point of desperation, eating the very pods the pigs were eating and beginning to long for his family in his pig pen, but the father never went after him, he stood his ground and waited for his son to be totally transformed by his circumstances!
"And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate and no one gave him anything. "But when he came to his senses, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger. 'I will arise and go to my father and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, "and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants." ' Luke 15:16-19
"Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and wall her in, so that she cannot find her paths. She will chase her lovers but shall not overtake them; Yes, she will seek them, but not find them. Then she will say, "I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now." Hosea 2:6,7
There have been many times that we prayed a "Hedge of thorns" around someone's kid on drugs, a husband or wife in adultery or a lost loved one in rebellion and God brought them to their knees and delivered them just as He did with Hosea's harlot wife!
The problem is, how long oh Lord do I wait? The answer to that question is, as long as it takes! You have to understand that when we ask God to change someone's life, He has to bring them to repentance and deal with the strongest and many times, immovable will of man! God just doesn't zap people into submission, He has to change their heart through trials and tribulation, so when you ask Him to save or deliver someone, "Stay the course" until He is finished!
There is great glory awaiting those who put their trust in God and wait on Him, as in the case of Lazarus, the prodigal son and with Hosea who received back their loved ones and even their dead back to life! Wait upon the Lord!
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He might exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. I Peter 5:6,7
Your servant in Christ, Timothy Laughlin

We were pretty sure we'd get all this fence stuff taken care of in 1-2 days. As usual, our project-time-estimates end up being about 3 times too small.
We still do not have a fence to enclose our yard, and are currently using slightly charred panels that the firemen chopped down to prop against the openings.
The reason being, I hate taking the dogs out in the backyard on a leash. Plus, Cece won't even go to the bathroom on a leash. AND she will only go in one spot in the yard and it happens to be right by the burnt down fence.
Well, I thought we were coming to the end of the fiasco, what with our neighbors making a claim on our insurance and getting their fence and deck repaired. (We have to wait on our fence so they can get to their deck to be repaired.)
Then Sunday, neighbor Chuck comes over and says he was talking to the guy behind him (not even on our street,) and THAT guy wants to file a claim for his tree. And by the way, his tree was fine. He had one crispy branch that needed to be trimmed. But what is this? Middle school? Come over and talk to us about it yourself!
So before we even had a chance to address that situation, I guess the guy got over himself and just trimmed the branch himself, thank goodness. I literally do not even know what this guy looks like.
Yesterday, I get a call from the neighbors behind us (not even in the same neighborhood.) We did burn their fence down, but Kennedy took the next day off work to rebuild it. Then we get a call that there are some nit-picky things with the fence that he wants fixed. Plus they say there is a patio cover with fire holes in it.
However, as soon as Kennedy had finished the fence, he had the guy come look at it to "approve" it. The guy was like "yes this looks good." NOW he has a problem with it.
Well, I have a problem with people not being direct and moving on.
MY QUESTION: Why are you waiting until 1.5 weeks later to discuss the patio cover? And how did the fire get allllllll the way across your yard and ruin your patio cover but not touch anything else in it's path?
Now I feel like we're being taken advantage of.
Is this whole ordeal going to be dragged out for the rest of my summer? Am I even going to get to use my pool or will I have to feel weird because we have a big open gap in our fence for all the world to see?
The moral of the story is, it doesn't matter if you go out of your way to make a situation right or to fix a mistake, some people are just snobby and rude and nothing can change it.
I'll blog more later when I finally get an actual project done around this place. For now I have to go be a diplomat to jerks.

I kind of had a feeling you might deal with something like this. My grandma has a similar situation in her neighborhood (not her fire but someone else's) and people came out of the woodwork to cause problems.
