Also known as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Islamic State (IS).The aim of ISIS is to create an Islamic state, referred to as a caliphate, across Sunni areas of Iraq and in Syria.ISIS is known for killing dozens of people at a time and carrying out public executions, crucifixions and other acts. It has taken over large swaths of northern and western Iraq.The group currently controls hundreds of square miles. It ignores international borders and has a presence from Syria's Mediterranean coast to south of Baghdad. It rules by Sharia law.Dabiq, Syria "is where the Prophet Mohammed is supposed to have predicted that the armies of Islam and 'Rome' would meet for the final battle that will precede the end of time and the triumph of true Islam," according to CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen.

Retreat to the Rock
This event was founded in 1989 by Roseann Rossi and Pat Picco, two Christian women in the Illinois Valley who had a desire to use our beautiful Starved Rock State Park for the glory of God. They invited several women from various Christian churches to pray for guidance and come to meetings in their homes if they felt led to be involved in forming an interdenominational Christian women's retreat. Thus, Retreat to the "Rock" was birthed. Twelve ladies from various churches and backgrounds prayed, visited other retreats and called upon Winsome Women retreat from Winona Lake, Indiana to help them get started. Ethel Anderson, an officer from that retreat, was the first speaker for Retreat to the "Rock". Judy Dagraedt, a local woman with a beautiful music ministry led the music. The twelve founding members of the Retreat to the "Rock" board met and prayed fervently for the retreat, placing ten dollars a meeting in an offering to get the group started. From this humble beginning, God has used this retreat for years to proclaim His Word, bring salvation to the lost, and encourage and comfort His people. The retreat offers Bible based teaching, a variety of workshops, praise and worship, a prayer room, warm fellowship, an abundance of delicious food, and the wonderful ambiance and luxury of Starved Rock Lodge. Many women return year after year, using the retreat for a reunion of friendships, girls' night out or just good old fashioned R&R. All leave blessed.

August Alsina Feat. Fabolous "Get Ya Money" Video
August Alsina drops the visuals for "Get Ya Money" with Fabolous.
August Alsina is having a pretty big day. He released his debut album, "Testimony", and is currently trending after an awkward moment on 106 & Park where he refused to answer a question about Trey Songz.
Taking advantage of being the hot topic, August has now provided the visuals to his new track with Fabolous, "Get Ya Money".
The Dun Deal-produced track features some of the beatmakers signature clean guitar, which is even more prominent then on hits like Young Thug's "Stoner".
You can still stream the project in its entirety here, or if you'd rather simply check out the collaboration with Pusha T, "FML", you can grab that here.

Rest Day
If you didn't do "Hope" yesterday, go to a gym near you and participate. If you did, go and cheer on your fellow CrossFitters!
Three rounds of:
Hang power snatch
Box jump
"Hope" has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep.
Advanced #55
Intermediate #35
Beginner #15-25
Ladies, remember to watch your breathing. Do the work for each minute but don't worry too much about your reps. Use whatever progressions are needed at this time, for the burpees, box jumps and pull ups.
5 rounds
10 front squats #65
250m row
4 rounds
10 front squats #45
3 rounds
10 front squats #15-25
CrossFit is a strength and intensity based fitness program.
However, during pregnancy you want to concentrate on strength and keeping your body healthy, rather than the intensity.

Experts are going on record with their opinions to news outlets over the recent appearances of a frighteningly thin Lindsay Lohan, who they say has dropped below 100 pounds.
FOX interivewed a doctor wo commented on Lindsay Lohan's photographs taken in recent days.
Dr. Kent Holtorf, Director of the Holtorf Medical Group in Los Angeles, told FOX that the 5'5" starlet weighs around 95-100lbs with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 16.
According to standard guidelines, to be considered "healthy" Lohan should be at least 113-149lbs with a BMI of 18-25.
"There are signs of muscle wastage, clearly her bones are protruding and she looks quite rigid," Holtorf told FOX.
"She looks like skin and bones at this point, Lindsay clearly looks malnourished and unhealthy for her frame."
Another expert weighted in and shared with FOX that Lohan was on a bad path.
Hollywood clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, Dr. James E. Walton, told FOX that Lohan was "floating at 100 pounds" and is setting "a bad example."
"She seems to have no reserves, a little fat is very good because it gives us a reserve to fight off illness and repair injuries," Walton explained. " It has to be affecting her energy level a bit. It also cushions us against injuries, those low fat levels indicate a possible vitamin and mineral deficiency and can throw off proper hormone balances. She should weigh between 120 and 130 for healthy weight at her height … Ok, for Hollywood, no lighter than 115 for her height. But that's only for Hollywood and the camera."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Boyfriend not Evel Knievel, just possibly evil
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My older boyfriend is a daredevil and routinely parks at fire hydrants if he's making a quick stop to pick something up. Even if there are other places to park, he prefers the big parking places. I think this is dangerous for other people -- what if there was a fire? He laughs at me, and says, "Suck it up, buttercup." I told him he could get in big trouble if he ever got caught by the cops. He said: "This is just practice, baby. I do worse things you don't know about and never get caught." What exactly did he mean by that? I didn't like the way he laughed. Should I be worried or is he just bragging? My mom says I should give everyone the benefit of the doubt. -- Not Sure Anymore, Winnipeg
Dear Considerate: This bad boy is telling you he does things that are dangerous and illegal -- much worse than hydrant blocking. If you're smart, you'll take heed, and tell him to get lost for good. And your mom, sorry to say, is wrong on the advice. It's foolish to try to think the best of someone who's bragging about doing things so nasty he can't even tell you about them. What could he be doing that requires practice at easy pickups and dropoffs. Let me see, how about drug courier work, or maybe driving the getaway car during robberies?
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My wife is a fisherwoman -- there is nothing she loves more. I gave up on it this summer because I never catch much. She has all the techniques and knows all the hidey-holes where fish hang out. She's always dying to go fishing on Fridays for the weekend. Now that I'm not going, this good-looking really friendly guy has started picking her up on Fridays. She says he has a very nice wife and they go fishing with these other people -- a "mixed group," whatever that means. Now I'm feeling nervous. Should I go and see who these people are, or just trust her and be glad I don't have to bait hooks anymore? -- Armchair Guy, St. Vital
Dear Lazy: It's way too "Canadian" to let some hot guy just drive off with his fishing rod and your wife. You smell something fishy, mister, and you do something about it immediately. You don't want to be separated and waiting for divorce papers in your uneasy chair this time next year. It's one thing for couples to have separate hobbies, but it's quite another to have hobbies that require your mate leaving town with a handsome-looking guy who may be laughing at you. Have you ever actually seen his wife? Show a renewed interested in being with your wife on these weekends. If it bores you to fish, bring books and projects, but make yourself highly visible, show her you love her and that she's your partner.

Unfortunately, you don't provide enough information, so I have no idea what happened or what kind of case you're talking about.
