By Michael C. Mack
I don't recall what the speaker said, but I'm sure his words were well-spoken and significant. I do remember, however, who that speaker was on that Sunday evening 21 years ago: Mark Taylor, who was at that time publisher at Standard Publishing Company.
Mark had already played a key role in my life. When I worked in the New Products department at Standard in the early to mid-'90s, Mark was my boss. When I left to start a web-based small group ministry in 1995, he encouraged me and gave me opportunities to do freelance work, which helped us pay the bills. About a year later, when I was called to church-staff ministry, Mark delivered the message at my ordination. He was the man I wanted to speak for me and to me on that pivotal day more than two decades ago.
Over the years, Mark has continued to have a profound impact on my life, writing career, and ministry. He asked me to develop small group materials for Standard and then to write two different columns for Christian Standard. As he was approaching retirement as publisher and editor, Mark recommended me to Jerry Harris as the potential new editor.
Mark made his impact on me simply by believing in me. What a blessing!
Mark became editor of Christian Standard in 2003. In his first column, he wrote about his predecessor Sam Stone, "Perhaps no one so widely known in our fellowship is more highly respected." I think I know the kind of weight Mark must have felt succeeding such a godly leader.
Mark led the magazine through a period of dynamic changes in our culture, the church, and the publishing industry. In 2006, on Christian Standard's 140th anniversary, Henry E. Webb wrote about the magazine's editors. He said, "The current editor, Mark Taylor, is sensitive to new areas of interest and ministry that are emerging among the churches in these times of changing interest."
Ten years later, Arron Chambers wrote about Mark's influence "during a time of great change in culture, the economy, the church, and media." He continued:
This has been accompanied by the magazine's move to full color and investment in better graphics. At the same time, a dynamic website was created for the magazine and continues today with new material posted every day. . . . A weekly digital newsletter has been published since 2006. . . . And in 2014 the magazine created its first all-digital editions, published in a[n] . . . app available for virtually every smartphone and tablet platform.
Leaders make a difference in the midst of, not despite, the circumstances into which they are thrust. Mark is such a leader, and his good work during his 40-plus years with Standard Publishing should be recognized and lauded.
Yet, when I think about Mark, I don't focus so much on his work as editor so much as I do his role as a Christ follower and friend. You may not know that he has served as an elder at Christ's Church at Mason (Ohio), occasionally helps to lead worship, or that he attends and sometimes leads a weekly men's group that starts at 6 a.m. He is a humble servant leader and encourager, and I'm honored to call him my friend.
Mark Taylor has been retired for just over a month, and it is fitting to celebrate his years of service as a writer, editor, publisher, and leader. I look forward to the new areas in which he will serve God and further the Lord's kingdom.

Mark made his mark. Thanks for the nice tribute. Words kind and true.
Thanks, Victor. Mark is an easy person to honor in this way.

Since the NFL merger in 1970, only three teams have failed to win a game in a season.
The Jets won't be joining that illustrious group this year.
Gang Green dominated the Dolphins Sunday in a 20-6 victory at MetLife Stadium for its first win of 2017, silencing the Suck for Sam crowd for the moment. The Jets held Miami scoreless until the final play of regulation, when Jay Cutler found DeVante Parker for a 3-yard touchdown. It was a complete and surprising performance from a defense that gave up 45 points to the Raiders last weekend.
Todd Bowles commended his unit for making "progress" on a day when the Jets locked arms during the pregame national anthem to show unity in response to Donald Trump's derogatory comments about protesting NFL players. Owner Christopher Johnson participated in the demonstration.
"Everybody was where they were supposed to be," Bowles said of his defense after the win. "We didn't leave any open gaps. We gang-tackled instead of tackling with single people. We got after it and everybody communicated."
The one downside, though: winning doesn't help the Jets move up in the draft.
"We block all that stuff out," Bowles said. "We're trying to win ball games because we want to get to the Super Bowl."
After surrendering 370 rushing yards in their first two games — losses at the Bills and Raiders — the Jets showcased a drastically improved run defense against Miami. They allowed just 30 yards on the ground in the win and suffocated Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi with consistent pressure at the line of scrimmage.
Ajayi rushed for 122 yards on 22 carries in the Dolphins' season opener last weekend. He totaled 16 yards on 11 carries Sunday.
"We hold ourselves to a higher standard than that as a defense and as a defensive front," said defensive end Leonard Williams, who finished with two tackles and a quarterback hit. "Ajayi is a great running back, and we held them to 30 rushing yards. That's great for us. We showed that we can do it."
The Jets' pass defense was equally as impressive. Jay Cutler completed 26 of 44 passes for 220 yards and an interception, which safety Terrence Brooks hauled in late in regulation. Brooks — who saw significant action as part of Bowles' three-safety packages — also picked off a fake punt in the third quarter. Cutler didn't surpass 80 yards in the air until the fourth quarter.
"The game is played inside the white lines, man, and we just want to prove it on tape. We want to prove it on Sundays," said Demario Davis, who led the Jets with 12 tackles and three tackles for loss. "When we're able to go out on the field and execute, we got a good group, and we can do some good things. So the key for us is just staying together."
The Jets sacked Cutler three times, including the first of Jamal Adams' career. Adams also had a pass breakup.
Bowles said the improved run defense was paramount in establishing a pass rush.
"We got some hits and made him uncomfortable in the pocket," Bowles said of Cutler, who is starting in place of the injured Ryan Tannehill. "We got that accomplished."
The Jets led 10-0 at halftime thanks to Robby Anderson's 69-yard touchdown catch from Josh McCown with just less than two minutes remaining in the second quarter. Anderson used his elite straight-line speed to beat Dolphins cornerback Alterraun Verner. McCown — who completed 18 of 23 passes for 249 yards — delivered a perfect throw. On the previous play, the Jets had a long Bilal Powell run negated because of a bogus holding call.
"Robby made a heck of a catch," McCown said. Powell extended the lead in the third quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run.
The Jets held the Dolphins to 1-of-12 on third-down conversions. The offense possessed the ball for nearly 40 minutes.
"We always had confidence," Adams said. "We just needed to put the right pieces together, and it's finally starting to mold. We're not where we want to be, but this is the start of it."
A crisp performance from Josh McCown and no turnovers were the highlights. But the rushing attack wasn't where it needs to be. The Jets averaged 3.0 yards per carry. Also, 20 points isn't going to win many games this season.
The unit shut out the Dolphins until the final play of regulation and allowed just 30 rushing yards. It was a perfect showing from Todd Bowles' group.
The Jets weren't fooled by a fake punt in the third quarter, but Terrence Brooks made a dumb play when he opted to intercept the pass instead of knocking it down. The Jets lost over 20 yards of field position as a result. Kicker Chandler Catanzaro also missed badly on a 45-yard field goal in the first quarter.
Josh McCown connected on a pretty 69-yard touchdown to Robby Anderson in the second quarter that turned a three-point lead into double digits entering halftime.
The Jets used defensive lineman Lawrence Thomas as a fullback Sunday, and the Michigan State product rewarded them by snagging a 3rd-and-1 pass in the flat and running through multiple defenders for a 15-yard gain in the third quarter. The catch set up with Jets' second touchdown of the game.
"I think things are going in the right direction, and I look at his comments as just a distraction, just trying to distract from where we're headed as a country. I think people are starting to understand what is going on in this country, and you just got to stay away from the distractions. …As a team, we're going to continue to be unified in this. We're going to continue to fight the good fight together." — Jermaine Kearse on Donald Trump

Super Bowl Commercials
February 5, 2018
When the Super Bowl comes it brings its own breed of commercials. We asked around MHS to see what some of the students favorite commercials were.
"My favorite commercial was that Bud-Light commercial with those guys that were fighting with swords," Sophomore Josh Mackenzie said.
The most popular commercials this year were beer and also the Tide commercials.
"My favorite commercial was the beer one where Chris Pratt and how he was the side guy and then the next commercial he was just in the background trying to get to the front," Sophomore Hudson Skinner said.
Students enjoyed a variety of different commercials during the Super Bowl.
"My favorite commercial was the travel one where the guy was shaving with his knife and he turns around and his face is all bloody. It was really funny," Junior Emily Tracy said.

Tributes paid to Lowrance founder Darrell J. Lowrance
Article Media Click images to enlarge +
Tributes have been paid to Darrell J. Lowrance, founder of Lowrance Electronics, who died at the weekend at the age of 80.
Responsible for many breakthroughs in marine electronics, including the first ever portable sonar fishfinder for the average angler – the Fish-Lo-K-Tor – he was President and CEO of Lowrance Electronics from 1964 to 2006.
Former American Sportfishing Association (ASA) President and CEO, Mike Nussman, worked with Lowrance for many years. He said: "Darrell was a brilliant entrepreneur who created many products that helped revolutionise recreational fishing. It was a privilege to have known Darrell and work with him for the betterment of our industry and the ASA."
"The sport fishing industry owes Darrell a debt of gratitude for the decades of time and effort he invested in ensuring the association endured," said Peter Foley, President of Boone Bait Company and ASA's Treasurer Emeritus. "I knew Darrell since the mid-1970s, having served on the ASA's Board of Directors with him during some difficult times for the association when he provided wise counsel and sound advice."
Lowrance was Chairman of the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturer's Association (AFTMA) – ASA's predecessor – from 1983 to 1984. He was also a Board member on numerous occasions through the years and an ex-officio member in 2008 and 2009. He was inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame in 2013.
In 2007, the ASA awarded him its Lifetime Achievement Award, the highest honour that the industry can bestow on an individual who has shown extraordinary leadership throughout his or her career in promoting the values of sport fishing.
Leif Ottosson, CEO of Navico, the parent company of Lowrance, said: "With his passing the world has lost a great man and true visionary. Darrell's passion for fishing, innovative design and dedication to driving the marine electronics industry forward, led to innovative ideas and products that have shaped the fishing experiences for millions of anglers globally for over 60 years.
"The fishing world and our Navico family mourn this loss, and we offer our sincere condolences to Darrell's wife, Kathleen, and his family."
ASA President Glenn Hughes added: "Darrell was the father of marine electronics. He was committed to the industry and to the sport he loved. His dedication to his brand, his employees and this industry will never be forgotten."

Writer's Block
Yay. I finally was able to kick around with Picasa, Hello, PhotoImpression, Adobe Photoshop etc. and got some pics uploaded to my photoblog for inclusion in my pictoral post. I don't feel like it now. Go look at the pics and guess the story leading into each one. Have fun. I am calm today. Perhaps it is my sleepiness which has drawn me into a mellow state of affairs. Thoughts wind among themselves like rambles of brambles and nothing seems to snag me. Nothing seems that important that I want to waste more than a moment contemplating it yet I find myself contemplative of my serenity. Its a feeling of Spring, when the March winds blow and the sunlight is finally warm again. The feeling of laying on an Earth that is still cold and shivering from winter's breath and warming it with our thoughts of Summer. Its been over a month since the Oak King wrestled the Earth from the Holly King and awaits the maiden Goddess to marry, knowing that each year he is destined to curl into her womb as a new babe while his brother draws us again into darkness. I check my three e-mail accounts and find my "Best of Beliefnet" newsletter. The headline? "Why The Dead Want Our Attention." I smiled. They are very good at linking other articles previously featured. Good and bad. I am reminded that there are many who do not believe as I do and they don't want anyone else to believe either. I am a healthy skeptic. Anyone who blindly follows will be lead astray eventually. I understand both sides of the mystery... the side that is skeptical and the side that knows how difficult it is to interpret the signs, the voices, the feelings. I could work on this. I could also take up ballet again. I nurture many things but my body never seems to be one of them. I also do not nurture what's over my left shoulder. Why me? I wonder what they want. They have to want something, right? I assume when someone taps me on the shoulder that they want something. The time, directions, to tell their family member they know she was going to name her child "Noel." Perhaps though, its the tap on the shoulder where someone hands you a dollar bill which fluttered from your pocket, a mitten, or a package which slips from the bottom of the pile. Maybe they want to give me something. Perhaps they would like a mutual aid agreement. You help me, I'll help you. "You tell people freaky things that make them look at you strange and we'll help you clean your house." "I was thinking more on terms of deep everlasting love and the lottery." "No." "Worth a shot." I was... what? Tagged. Yeah, tagged by Seven to answer something about music. So... Random 10 1. You Got Another Thing Comin' - Judas Priest 2. Jane - Jefferson Airplane 3.

I got there through Sigmund, Carl & Alfred, the irreverent blog with the heading: This blog is dedicated to the world of bloggers, many of whom exhibit more than mild symptoms of various personality disorders. If you have a blog, sooner or later, you'll be on the couch - Sigmund,Carl and Alfred. This is one guy who talks like he's three and he's calling the rest of us crazy? Its like everything else in Blogland, its funny, so who cares. Back to "The Sound of Muzik." He posted a list of words and asked that you make up new meanings. Here's what I came up with: Masticate: The act of spoon-feeding ideologies to a large group of people. dastard: The illegitimate child of a dyslexic. Grunion: a smelly Nirvana fan. Truckle: A large amount of cash Palimpsest: the reduction in the size of the male genitalia following the payment of Truckles to the mother of a dastard. Paralipsis: Congruous collagen injections. Oh look, I don't have writer's block anymore.

Whether working from home or commuting to the office, most of us spend a good part of our lives at our desks — so why not get creative with our workspace design?
Our surroundings have a significant impact on our mood and productivity (as anyone who has had the displeasure of working in a dark and drab cubicle will tell you). Clean, welcoming work spaces with personalized touches help keep our minds uncluttered and our motivation high. Here we share our tips for designing a workspace that inspires creativity and contentment — and, most importantly, helps you get your work done!
Know that dispiriting feeling that sinks in after working for hours in a windowless room under harsh, fluorescent lights? Lighting is a critical design element, and it's especially important in a place where you'll presumably spend most of your daylight hours. For years, research has shown that exposure to natural light during daylight hours has a powerful impact on workplace productivity and overall quality of life. If you're a telecommuter, or if you have a say in where your office desk is located, consider designing your workspace around a source of natural light. You may find that your mood, mental clarity, and even your sleep patterns improve significantly improve — not to mention the added aesthetic improvement that windows bring to any office space.
For those of us who can't access daylight there are many ways to manipulate artificial light to our benefit. Choose a good desk lamp with adequate light to reduce eye strain. To give the illusion of daylight, use LED bulbs with color temperatures of 5000k or higher. These emit white to blueish-white colored light, similar to the color of natural sunlight. Some modern desks feature built-in LED lighting to reduce desk clutter, for example our Triplo Freestanding Desk offers built-in back-lit shelves for a soft and natural glow.
If you're a commuter, you're all too familiar with the typical gray or neutral color schemes that adorn most modern office spaces. While neutral palettes can bring a clean, minimalist aesthetic to the workplace, it's good to break the monotony with a dash of color at your personal workstation. Personalize your deskscape with colorfully framed photos, desk accessories, calendars or vibrant desk screens. If you're crunched for space, you can opt for functional items like colorful stationary in place of tchotchkes — either way, small pops of color will keep you feeling inspired and give your eyes a break from the drudgery of white and greige.
If you're a telecommuter, take advantage of the broadened creative liberties that working from home affords and bring some color into other areas of the workstation as well, like your desk, chair, or walls. The Home Office is available in dozens of colors and finishes, from natural wood tones to vibrant, primary color lacquers. And as an added bonus, this space-saving desk folds up into a modular cabinet when the day's work is done, keeping all your papers neatly out of sight.
Like color, texture is key to creating visual interest and breaking the monotony of typical office spaces. Add some trendy macramé wall art above your desk, throw in a leather desk mat, or opt for metallic-toned office supplies (rose gold or silver pen holders, staplers and tape dispensers add a touch of glam!)
Here again, telecommuters have a bit more creative freedom when it comes to their office design. Foster a welcoming vibe in your home office with textured elements like an area rug, throw pillows or blankets. Or choose furniture with integrated metallic or natural wood accents. If you're remodeling your home office, you can't do much better than the Libreria — this full-height shelving unit features an integrated writing desk and built-in aluminum accents. It's a desk, shelving system, and statement décor piece, all in one!
Some say a messy desk is a sign of creativity, but no one can be their most productive when they're drowning in clutter. When pens, keyboards, and important documents become lost in a sea of old sticky notes, it's time to Marie Kondo your office. Clear away the mess, and utilize extra storage! When organizing your desk be sure to keep all of your essentials within arm's reach — you should not have to get up or move your body to access basic tools like your calculator, desk phone, or note pads. Things you use less frequently can be cleared off the primary workspace to make way for, well, working!
And to make sure things stay tidy, find a desk with built-in paper trays and extra drawers; this will keep all your tools close at hand and confined to one central area. The Metis desk is a great option for those who are short on space; this piece packs tons of hidden storage compartments, including two lidded sections, three drawers, and even a wire management system. And with its sleek, solid wood design, you'd never guess that this minimalist desk could hold so much!
Like natural light, botanicals have been shown to improve mood, reduce stress and boost productivity in the workplace. Though we may be primarily indoor creatures, we all have an innate desire to be around nature. That's why decorating your home office or desk with a bit of green can make you feel happier and more psychologically engaged. Plus, they're just nice to look at — so what's not to love?
Sitting in an uncomfortable office chair for hours on end can put a terrible strain on your back and neck. One of the best ways to instantly upgrade any work space is to find a comfortable, ergonomic, and stylish office chair. Get a desk chair that keeps your body properly aligned — when seated, your knees and elbows should rest at 90 degree angles; your lower back and forearms should be supported; and you should be able to adjust the height as needed.
We love the Deep Office Chair for its lower back and arm support and its mid-century-inspired look. Its soft leather seat and wool-upholstered backing come in a variety of color combinations, and its base is available in sleek aluminum or natural wood finishes. The perfect, comfortable chair to breathe a little life into the workspace!
Inevitably, we feel our best (and do our best work) when we are surrounded by things that we love. After all, design is about filling our space with things that bring us joy and removing things that do not — and while we may only have so much creative license when styling our office, integrating emotionally valuable items into our work areas can keep us inspired and combat mental fatigue.
Telecommuters seem to have it so easy, and those of us who don't work from home may not appreciate the unique challenges faced by those who do.

There are days when I believe the Church of England, when I believe their condemnation of me and that I am all bad, days when I know that no matter what I do or what I say or how I live, I will be condemned and never be allowed to be a good person.
Today is one of those days, as they continue to harm me without remorse or responsibility for their own wrongs, that I cannot believe in myself.
If there was any good in me, why will someone in authority not stop the church of england from continuing to destroy me?
I am damaged beyond repair and hanging on by a thread, any good in me and in my life is wiped out while my faults and supposed faults are wiped over my face and I am not allowed to be myself but only the church of england's version.

Take a chance on Lucky Chances' 24-hour Cafe Colma
The security guard sweeps by our table at 2 a.m. and takes away our mostly empty bottle of cheap sparkling wine without a word. We hadn't realized it was that late, but we're not mad, just amused, as the security guard's multitasking has become a recurring theme (we've also seen him act as host, buser and waiter).
The dining room is staffed with nearly a dozen busy waitresses in starched white blouses and green and red vests, but they're no match for the crazy Friday-night rush at Cafe Colma.
I wanted to lean into the melancholy of the holiday season, search for an antidote to all things merry and bright, and assumed that I'd find it in a 24-hour diner inside a casino inside a graveyard in Colma — the city of cemeteries that famously has more dead residents than alive.
What I found instead was a warm center of the world, saturated in holiday cheer and bursting with life … all the more poignant for the silent rows of headstones surrounding it.
Cafe Colma is the casual restaurant inside Lucky Chances casino, one of the Bay Area's more popular card clubs since its opening in 1998 (it also boasts a buffet restaurant called Rene's Fine Dining). The casino, with its one giant card room, isn't especially opulent or architecturally interesting. Its best design feature may be the red and green patterned carpet, which now matches the Christmas trees, ornaments and tinsel decorations that adorn every surface.
The cafe is in back, a large room divided by a counter, big circular tables for groups, and booths along a wall with views of the parking lot. The sprawling, laminated menu has everything from Denver omelets to egg foo yung, but what most people come for is the Filipino food. Turns out a silog plate — juicy marinated meat served with garlic rice and two eggs any style, and small ramekins of vinegar and pickles to cut the fat — is ideal for soaking up a night of drinking.
The best of the bunch is the longsilog, fat, garlicky little sausages that ooze grease when you bite into them. Every table had at least one plate of them. Tosilog and tapsilog — slices of marinated pork and beef, respectively — were dry and tough without lubrication from vinegar and egg yolks, as was the deep-fried fish in the bansilog. But all would do at 2 in the morning.
Same went for many of the other menu items, which were acceptable if not exceptional. The lumpia were fried a tad too long and burnt in some places, the pork adobo a little on the sweet side and in need of more vinegary verve, and the pancit tasted like nothing until laced with Sriracha. The Western dishes I tried were on par with those at most diners: fluffy flapjacks and well-seasoned hash browns that were crisp on the outside, a little creamy on the inside. Many finish the meal with halo halo — a Filipino dessert that blends shaved ice with sweetened condensed milk — topped with vivid purple ube ice cream.
Cafe Colma's mostly Asian crowd at weekend brunch is the mix you'd expect: families, older residents and couples, but it's not radically different 12 hours later. Even at 2 a.m., the restaurant's atmosphere is disarmingly wholesome for a casino restaurant. Except for one young man passed out with his head on the table, there were no signs that customers have been drinking. We were also one of the few tables drinking alcohol, and judging from the confusion when we ordered a bottle of wine, it doesn't happen too often. On the way out, I even spied a child.
At least a dozen people were waiting for a table outside the cafe's doors, and it made me wonder if anywhere in San Francisco proper was as busy at 3 in the morning. Colma may forever be known as the Silent City, San Francisco's necropolis, but when seen from the right angle, it's the most lively place for miles.

God's word says what will happen to the earth.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:3-10
Stephen Hawking – Higgs Boson Could Spell The End of The Universe
Professor Stephen Hawking has told the BBC that artificial intelligence could spell the end for the human race.
In an interview after the launch of a new software system designed to help him communicate more easily, he said there were many benefits to new technology but also some risks.
What is a Higgs Boson?
Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln describes the nature of the Higgs boson. Several large experimental groups are hot on the trail of this elusive subatomic particle which is thought to explain the origins of particle mass.
Via : .rt.com
Higgs' elementary particle underpins existence in our universe might become unstable, warns renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. The energy potential of the 'God particle' is so vital for the entire universe it could make the cosmos collide, he concludes.
In a preface to a new book he contributed to, which is essentially a collection of lectures gives by famous scientists and astronomers called 'Starmus', Hawking shared his concerns regarding the Higgs Boson, that Hawkins suspects of being unstable and potentially capable of decay.
"The Higgs potential has the worrisome feature that it might become metastable at energies above 100bn gigaelectronvolts (GeV)," Hawking wrote. (Click to Article)

An officer pulled a car over where the man was a passenger, and asked if the vehicle contained any drugs or weapons, police reported. The men denied that there was anything illegal in the car multiple times, but the response made the officer uncomfortable, according to the report. A background check revealed that the man had a warrant from the City of Phoenix, and the officer informed him that he would be arrested, police reported. The man then admitted to having a weapon under his seat, according to the report. While searching the vehicle, officers found the gun, marijuana and grape swisher sweets, police reported. In an interview, the driver told officers that the marijuana belonged to the man and claimed that the man was a marijuana dealer whom he had only met recently, according to the report. The man told officers he smokes weed at least once a day and carries the gun "just because," police reported. The man was transported to Tempe City Jail, where he was booked and held to see a judge, according to the report. Reports compiled by Isabella Castillo.

Built in the late 1700s, the old jail has a legend attached. It seems that in the late 1800s a sheriff was shot to death by a gang of bandits on the staircase leading between the jail and the attached brick building, which was the jailer's family home. He was shot at the top of the stairs, and, just like what often happens in the movies, he then fell down to the bottom. Witnesses say the sound of the sheriff's body falling down the stairs can be heard in the night.

My grandma Dolores was the jailer, I stayed many nights and many hours at the jail as a kid. She could've told you all kinds of stories, but from a childs point of view, nothing odd ever went on and my bedroom was right off those steps and never heard anyone "falling" down them ever. My mom and uncle could tell some good stories though!( Chad & Alicia "Hott" Roomsburg).

Slurping up soda, milkshakes and iced coffees with a plastic straw could become a thing of the past, but not just yet for McDonald's.
As calls for companies to ditch single-use plastic items like straws, cups and bags grow louder, restaurants like McDonald's have to grapple with what it would mean and cost to get rid of plastic items.
"The whole topic of what they call single-use plastics is on everyone's radar," McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Monday. "There isn't currently a viable alternative that's nonplastic at the moment, at the scale we need."
McDonald's sees 60 million customers walk through its doors every day, which adds up to a lot of straws, he said.
While Easterbrook doesn't foresee a ban on straws as a likely move for McDonald's in the near future, he said the company is working to increase its recycling capabilities. McDonald's is adhering to the goals set by the Paris accord on climate change and seeking to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 36 percent by 2030.
"Whatever we can do around waste and recycling is a visible part of our business," he said. "We know customers will respond well to any solution we can bring."

I asked Higher Powers for a message for you today.
They told me, that a handful of you received a message in the past 24 hours from them.
They said, they inspired you with an idea.
The idea occurred when you were 'lost in thought'. Either driving, or when you woke up.
You immediately got excited.
And then, the doubt set in.
'Am I good enough, talented enough, determined enough?', you asked.
They respond to you now with this message.
YES – you are. That is why they put the thought in your mind. They don't waste people's time.
However, it is your choice, whether to believe or not.
If you believe, you will succeed.
If you doubt, you will fall at the first hurdle.
It is up to you.
And therein, is the secret to life.
If this message is not for you today – perhaps reflect back over your past and ask – can I learn a lesson?
Could this have applied to me another time?

Andrew Pal, Senior Consultant – Tax, UK & EMEA at SRM Recruitment shares his story on his career path to SRM and what's so special about working here.
From Toronto to London
After graduating university in Canada I got into the insurance sector as a number of my family members worked in this area. It was a great experience and had elements I really enjoyed, but I knew that I was looking for something different. A good friend of mine suggested recruitment, which ultimately led me to join one of the large recruitment firms in Toronto.
Personal circumstances drew me to London so I began looking for another recruitment role. This is where I met Andrew, Stewart and Rory (co-founders of SRM Recruitment) as I interviewed with them at another of the large recruiters.
I worked closely with Rory for a number of years focusing on tax recruitment. Whilst the culture and environment of the firm I joined was closer to my style I knew that longer-term I was looking for more freedom and flexibility.
Why did you join SRM?
After Andrew, Stewart and Rory established SRM Recruitment I thought this could be a step in the right direction for me long term. I liked the idea of building my part of the business from scratch and being trusted to just get on with it.
Ultimately I wanted to be responsible only for myself, and steering my career path to SRM offered this in an entrepreneurial environment.
Greater freedom
Now, my focus is still on tax but I can pursue other specialist opportunities to make money. I'm also able to work globally, rather than just pass on roles to counterparts in other locations.
Transparency of earnings
The general transparency around earnings was a key draw for me as well as being closer to the planning of the business. I can see the impact I'm able to have on the business.
What's kept you?
It's simple – the leaders of the business followed through. It's been exactly as advertised! They are investing in the business, it's growing and we're hiring. There's still a family feel but the leaders are ambitious and want to expand.
What sort of people will do well here?
Someone who has a maturity about them (and that's not an age thing) as well as confidence in their abilities. You need a strong work ethic, with the ability to work out in the open. In a larger firm, the spotlight might not be on you, people can hide to a certain extent, so to do well here you need to be someone who wants to take control of their future.
Why should other recruiters join SRM?
It's a cliché but the world is your oyster here – there's no restriction to your growth and you know exactly what you will get. I trust and like these guys – they deliver on what they say. This is a very good place to be.
Sum up how SRM is different
It's very simple, the leadership team focus on recruitment fundamentals, treating each search as an individual project whilst getting rid of the politics and red tape. You're empowered to get on with it.
What's next for you?
Continuing to grow my name and the SRM name in the market, I see those as one and the same thing. Looking for opportunities that will bring in a number of roles and help grow the wider business. Who knows, maybe North America is next!
Sum up the top three things about working for SRM
1. Transparency in payment: If I bill X I will get Y – that was always a grey area at other recruiters.
2. Empowerment, trusted to work flexibly: I'm at a place in life where I will get the work done.
3. The culture: Just being in the office is enjoyable, we like and respect each other. It doesn't feel corporate, we are on the same wavelength.
To learn more about how you can grow with us here at SRM Recruitment, take a look at our 'Work For Us' section and get inspired.

Though the sky was a gloomy gray, yellow was the color of the night as 200 members of the Galesburg community gathered for a vigil service in honor of Jenni McGruder. The service was held on April 4th at 7 p.m. behind the Seminary Street Pub.
"That's where it happened, so there is kind of a lot emotions . . . It's going to be a tough couple of days, that's for sure," McGruder's longtime friend Kaitlin Straub said.
According to a statement released by the Galesburg Police Department, McGruder had been shot by a stray bullet outside of the Seminary Street Pub just after midnight on Easter Day.
McGruder is survived by her two young children and her husband, Michael McGruder. Family and friends of McGruder have started a GoFundMe page in order to support the family she left behind.
On the morning of the vigil, Straub could not find a yellow item to honor McGruder with. Participants of the vigil were asked to adorn yellow in order to celebrate the 'bright' and 'sunny' personality of Mcgruder.
"I was in Target and I could not find yellow anywhere and I panicked. Somehow I meandered off to the sporting goods section. That's something me and Jenni had in common, we were like the people of Target that people make those memes about, like you walk in for one thing and leave with 52," Straub said.
While in the sporting section, Staub turned around to find a bright yellow scarf waiting for her on the rack. Straub feels like this was a sign from her friend.
"And that was Jenni saying 'somehow you've meandered off somewhere you're not supposed to be at Target and I'm going to show you what you came for,' I just believe that she'll give all of us signs that she's with us."
Straub had met McGruder while she was in high school and the pair instantly glued together. Straub describes her as the type of person who saw the positive in everyone and could make anybody laugh. One of her fondest memories of McGruder was when all of the girls in their friend group were spending time together at McGruder's house.
"We were at Jenni's house and her daughter comes running in with Jenni's bra on her head. It was the most hysterical thing and Jenni just cracked up. Her laugh was infectious. I have so many great memories and they're all of her laughing. [They're all] of her being so happy and cheerful," Straub said.
On the more serious side of things, McGruder was said to be someone who everyone could turn to for advice and help. When Straub's own son was sick, she would call McGruder for advice whenever she got the chance. The pair would constantly text and FaceTime each other. In fact, just six minutes before McGruder's untimely death, Straub got the last text message she would ever receive from her.
"You don't meet very many put together, well-rounded, genuine people in this world. The few that you meet are great and she was great," Straub said.
Before the vigil, Straub met with another one of McGruder's friends, who was also wearing yellow. Staub shared that McGruder was like the brightness in her friends' lives.
"When you see the sun and you see that bright shining light that's Jenni. [McGruder's daughter] told me, 'my mom is on the moon.' When I think of the moon I think of the brightest thing in the night sky. She's was the brightest thing in all of our lives," Straub said.

Are You Ready For The Big Game?
This week many will get ready for the big game. Those who might not have watched a second of football all season will suddenly scream for either the Gamecocks or the Tigers. In fact, if you grew up in the state of South Carolina you completely understand this rivalry game that has become known as the "Palmetto Bowl." This rivalry game dates all the way back to 1896. It's the longest uninterrupted series in the South and the second longest uninterrupted NCAA DI-A/FBS series in the country.
Fortunately, this year's big game will be played two days after Thanksgiving. This way hopefully family members in South Carolina can enjoy some undivided time together before they go to war on the football field. Of course, I'm sure there will be some trash talk taking place while enjoying that homemade turkey and dressing.
As many as 86,000 screaming fans will watch the big game live inside Clemson's Death Valley. Well over 2 million will watch the game broadcasted live through ESPN during its 7:30pm prime time slot this Saturday. Countless dollars will be spent, many hours given, and much energy will be put forth to watch young men run back and forth on a football field.
Now, anyone who really knows me knows that I can't wait for kickoff. I don't plan on missing one second of this big game. I have friends on both sides of this rivalry while I'm clearly pulling for my side. But, after years of living and watching football I've really learned to keep these games in perspective. In fact, I give myself a personal pep talk before any sporting event of this nature.
You see, this is just a game. The final score will not determine my future. The final score will not fix any of my present life problems or struggles. The final score really won't offer me any hope whatsoever in this life or the life to come. So, I've got to make sure that I don't put my hope in such fleeting man-made stuff such as football.
The only hope that is certain, secure, and won't ever let me down is Jesus. Only in him can I find lasting peace, purpose, and eternal hope. And, whether my team wins or loses my hope in Jesus Christ will not change. So, before I say "Go Tigers" or "Go Gamecocks" I'm making sure that I'm putting my full hope in Jesus. Hope you all enjoy the game!
(Hebrews 6:9) We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.
(Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
(John 3:16) For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

I have always been one of those people who want to do something; take a class in documentary film making, make more time for my husband and me, take an exotic vacation; the list goes on and on. My mind is filled with ideas that I put it on the back burner of my life intending to 'do it' next month, next year, when I have time, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
It was a chance remark made by a friend that helped me realize how I was wasting precious time by putting things off. I was talking about wanting to go to France but, as usual, the trip was assigned to sometime in the future. My friend off-handedly responded by saying, "I wouldn't keep putting off what you want to do, Kristen. You and I, we're getting closer to the Gate, if you know what I mean".
I knew exactly what she meant—the Gate to which she was referring wasn't the pretty white picket one attached to the fencing surrounding her property, it was the after-life pearly one. Her message was clear; no matter what we'd like to think, we're not going to live forever so don't wait, grab life and live it as well as you can. Carpe diem!
Now, seriously, I have no intention of reaching that heavenly gate any time soon but, as we all know, there is no guaranty on how much time is allotted to any one of us. I wanted to start to 'carpe diem' as soon as possible. In order to do so I needed to get the rest-of-my-life priorities straight and make necessary changes. Taking stock of what was preventing me from doing things I longed to do was priority number one. I loved my career as a writer, even deadlines don't bother me. My marriage is solid and happy. So far, so good. Then I looked at my role as a mother.
Most relationships naturally change as time passes but motherhood for me was still the demanding role it had been when my children were, well, little children! I was still a Mommy and not a Mom. It seemed that I was always available, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for my children. Intense mothering had me in stress overload. It was time for me to stop parenting as if I were still the mother of minor children. My 'girls' are women, yet even as adults, they ran to me with every conceivable problem, big or small.
In fairness to them, this was in no small part due to the way I had always responded to their problems. My usual mommy reaction to every need was always the same, "Don't worry; I'll take care of it", and I did. The saying that "You can only be as happy as your least happy child," rings very true even for mothers of adult children. We see their problems and we want to take care of our child and make things alright for them. It's a daunting task when your children are little and even more so when they have adult issues.
The worst thing any parent can do is to react emotionally to a child's problem, something that I had always done where my daughters were concerned. I love my daughters, and, God knows, I'd spent their formative years, along with my husband, protecting them, supporting them in their activities, and making sure they had the best education. However, in my need to cushion them from hurt and sorrow, I was not always successfully teaching them to be independent. The instinct to take care of them caused me to react in emotionally charged ways.
My solution of "I'll help at all costs" was not only damaging to my relationship with my children, (they weren't given the chance to gain precious insight and experience by self-solving a problem on their own), but also my relationship with my husband, their father. His love for them is boundless but he does see them as adults and feels that they should be able to handle daily hassles by themselves.
"Not everything is a major crisis, honey," is what he tells me. "They're intelligent young women; let them work out what's going on in their lives by themselves."
As far as being a parent of adult children went, I had to understand the fact that I couldn't parent educated adults with post-grad degrees in exactly the same way I did when they were eight years old! It was time for me to 'adult-parent'.
That hyphenated word meant that I would be available to them, I would listen to their problems and advise them as best I could, but I would no longer be the one who says "I'll take care of it". As responsible adults they had to do the problem-solving with only some minor parental input. I was entitled to live my life the same as they were to live theirs. As hard as it was for me and, for a short while for my children as well, I did it. 'Adult-parenting' I found out, was delightfully freeing.
My daughters and I began a tentative adult level relationship that has blossomed well into a Mom-daughter one. I am happy to see that these girls of mine have become young women of substance and strength, more than capable of navigating their way through life. They need Mom but they definitely don't need Mommy.
Throughout our lives we have many roles; motherhood is only one of them. The role of mother should change and adjust just as all roles we play adjust to the circumstances of our lives. Our children will always be our children but there's a vast difference between the minor child and the adult one.
I feel freer to pursue what I want to do in my life. Having an adult parental relationship with my children has eliminated stress in my own life and they are learning to solve problems on their own.

Ask anyone to name a hot Italian hatchback and they'll probably say Lancia Delta Integrale. The Tipo Sedicivalvole shares much with the legendary Lancia. Not the turbo and 4 wheel drive sadly but much of the platform plus a 2.0 litre version of the Lampredi Twin Cam. But what does Sedicivalvole mean? Only the most important thing in late eighties/early nineties hot hatch badging; sixteen valves.
The Tipo had been around since late 1988 and was a big step on from its predecessor the Strada/Ritmo, even if it did share the same basic platform (as did the Delta). The boxy styling gave exceptional room inside, it was 70% galvanised to stop the rust bunnies and even won European car of the year in 1989. Sadly what the car was lacking was a proper Golf GTI rival. Fiat produced a lukewarm 110bhp 1.8 litre 8 valve from 1989 and a warmer 1.8 16v with 138bhp from 1991, unfortunately the Tipo was a bit tubby.
Although we don't think of 1180 kilos (2601 lbs) as heavy for a modern car, back in the early 90's it was positively obese for a smallish hatch. Fiat had no choice but to drop in the 2.0 litre 16 valve lump from Lancia, upping power to 148bhp and reducing 0-60 to 8.4 seconds. As with all the best Italian engines, it looked pretty damn good too. Thanks to a slippery drag co-efficient of 0.31 top speed was 128mph, more than the Golf 16v. Handling was improved with 15" alloy wheels and uprated suspension, braking was dealt with by all round discs that were vented up front.
To distinguish it from the cooking models, the Sedicivalvole got more aggressive bumpers with a red pin stripe, side skirts, a more open grille and body coloured mirrors. Inside you avoided the questionable digital dash of some models, gaining a smattering of analogue dials instead along with a leather Momo steering wheel and the option of Recaro seats. According to the wonderfully 90's dealer information video, there was a strong eco push too, the car receiving a 3 way catalytic converter that allowed it to comply with the 1983 American clean air act. Wow.
So it was roomy, pretty well equipped, didn't rust and was reasonably fast. So why has it been forgotten? For a start it looked a bit too much like the smaller Uno, for seconds the Italians still had a bit of a reputation when it came to reliability and for thirds it just wasn't exciting enough. Still, if you do fancy one the above car is currently on sale for just £1450 here in the UK. Even though the white makes it look a bit like a refrigerator with windows, I am strangely drawn to it. With 126,000 miles on it, I fear it could only end one way, expensively.

She looks so happy to be riding his cock. Maybe she hasn't had sex in awhile. Whatever the reason, she's have a lot of fun. She's a cute ebony woman too. Nice round tits and a petite body. She's the woman that you've been wanting to see ride a cock. Especially those of you that really enjoy watching ebony ladies fuck guys. That's right, she's fucking him. She's the one doing all the work. Which seems to be the case for a lot of women these days. Not just in the world of porn, but in the real world too. It seems that women are working harder than ever and they seem to get less credit for what they do. Enough of that, just enjoy her and the other chicks in this gallery enjoy some stiff penis.

Our next field trip is a wander round Astley Park woods on Saturday 6th February in search of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, but with probably a more realistic chance of finding species such as Brambling and Dipper. The snowdrops should be in full bloom as well.
There is also an exhibition in the farmhouse in the afternoon, in which the Society will have a display.
Meet on Astley Village car park at 9.00 am for the walk
All welcome to our ULNES WALTON field trip, Thursday, 20th August. https://www.chorleynats.org.uk/wpsite/e ... es-walton/

text: This morning at breakfast the pob was mothering his teddies and ordering them 'sit down now'. He absolutely got the phrase from me telling him to sit down but it was so wonderful to observe him role playing a parent role with his teds. He's just starting to really get role play.
