It never occurred to me (duh) that Israeli's also pay taxes. I'll bet the system and laws are less convoluted there than in the US. The tax code is about a million pages thick.ReplyDelete

Trust in the LORD
Today's Daily Bible Reading is from Proverbs 3:1-6. In this Scripture, Solomon says, "My son, don't forget my law (instructions); but let your heart keep my commandments (code of wisdom)." They will add long life and peace to you.
Solomon tells his son not to forsake mercy (goodness, faithfulness or kindness) and truth. He instructs him to tie them around his neck and inscribe them on his heart.
He tells him by doing this he will find favor (grace or acceptance) and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
He reminds his son to trust (confide or have confidence) in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding (discernment). In all your ways acknowledge (know or consider) him, and he will direct your paths.
When we trust in our own understanding instead of trusting God to lead us on the road of life, we may end up on a dead end street. When we trust God and add His wisdom and knowledge to our lives He guides us to the path of eternal life.
When we trust in our own wisdom, we may have limited knowledge about certain things or circumstances. If we trust in the wisdom of other people, their wisdom is limited as well. They may lead us down the wrong path.
We are much better off to trust God and His leadership, guidance and direction in our lives. His knowledge is greater than all of our knowledge put together. He knows the past, present, and future. He knows all the details. His knowledge is not limited like ours is.
Trusting God is not a onetime thing, it is a continual process of trusting Him more and more with our lives and the decisions in our lives. We learn to depend on Him. We learn to pray to Him and ask for His guidance in our circumstances. As we develop an ongoing relationship with God we learn to trust Him more and more each day.
Daily Bible Reading:
Proverbs 3:1-6
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Things to think about:
- What does Solomon encourage his son to do?
- What benefits does Solomon say he will receive if he follow these instructions?
- What does Solomon tell his son to do concerning the LORD? Why?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we read this Scripture in Proverbs we see that Solomon instructed his son in Your ways. He encouraged him to trust You and not to lean on his own understanding. Help us to do the same, to trust You and not depend on our own wisdom or the wisdom of other people to guide our lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
**Please say a prayer for me this week. I will be having surgery on my right hand to remove a ganglian cyst on Tuesday. I am right-handed so I am hoping and praying everything goes well and I don't have any problems. Please also remember the doctor that God will lead, guide and direct his hand as he works on my hand. If all goes well I should be able to continue doing the work I do. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. I love you with the love of the Lord. Blessings, Deborah

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. – Proverbs 3:5-6

Halloween Costumed Girl Shot By Relative Who Mistook Her For a Skunk
It's unclear if a nine-year-old New Sewickley, PA, girl was actually dressed as a skunk Saturday night for a local Halloween party.
But she was wearing a black hat and a white tussle and that was enough for a relative of the unidentified girl to mistake her for the stinky varmint.

The stated goal of college fraternities and sororities is to promote brotherhood and sisterhood among their members.

Four weeks, four new blog posts? Am I actually sticking with a New Year's Resolution?
Last week's new post, "Mister Know-It-All", OR "It's Time to Move!" , can be found on my Running/Real-Life Musings blog, Runner Confidential.
Enjoy some fiction this week, from a gentile giant who seeks justice be done.
She needed a hero.
Not that she looked completely helpless, like one of those princesses in old cartoon movies that sits content in the top of a tower and waits for a man to come to her rescue. I'm actually fairly certain that type of woman doesn't exist anymore, although I say that with nothing to back up the claim. Considering the cartoon movies that portray women as objects to be claimed instead of human beings only postdate Women's Suffrage by a few decades, however, I feel my assumption that women who wait idly for men to rescue them are endangered, if not completely extinct.
She definitely wasn't one.
Her table in the coffee shop was piled with graduate-level engineering textbooks, proving that she was self-reliant and career-oriented. I only knew that her textbooks were graduate level because I was currently enrolled in my last year of undergraduate engineering courses, and I had never seen textbooks as large, with such small print, or with names as complicated as the ones piled atop her half of the table.
No, this wasn't a vapid princess inside an ivory tower. But the guy who had taken up residence at the other end of her table didn't seem to care.
He was the kind of guy who looked for the kind of girl she wasn't, every chance he got. He had come into the coffee shop without a single textbook, proving he wasn't there to get anything done. He'd purchased a small cup of black coffee but hadn't taken a single drink from it in the twenty minutes he'd been sitting at her table. And he hadn't tipped the barista. Which proved not only that he'd solely come to hit on girls, but that he was also cheap.
If I hadn't been watching the whole situation, I would have assumed that they were a couple, sitting at the table together. He, a tall, handsome, well-put-together vision of masculine perfection. She, strong and independent and beautiful. They actually looked like they belonged together. He was the kind of guy who would have been picked on me in high school, and she was the kind of girl who never would have given me a second glance. To an outsider, they were perfect for each other.
But I wasn't fooled.
I noticed the growing look of irritation on his face that she continued to spurn his advances, and the growing look of apprehension on her face as he continued to ignore her requests to leave her alone.
When I had made camp at the coffee shop two hours earlier, I'd had three goals, and no particular order of importance to govern them. One: to finally try one of the coffee shop's new razzelberry scones (mission accomplished). Two: finish my Advanced Topics in Civil Engineering homework. Three: plan next Thursday's adventure for my Dungeons and Dragons group. I'd been alternating between goals two and three for the last hour, so as not to get board. I'd just written another paragraph on beam structures and added a Gibbering Mouther to the dungeon (with appropriate treasure and experience points) when he'd annexed his place at her table.
I hadn't been able to get anything done since he'd arrived.
Why hadn't she flipped out on him yet? I'd seen girls successful cast the 'crazy chick' spell when guys tried to harass them, and it made the offenders back away as if the girls had been on fire. Maybe it simply wasn't her style.
The expression on her face told of her growing discomfort. Like me, she simply wanted a quiet place to get her work done. But this guy wanted more. Much more. He wasn't getting it, and that fact was becoming apparent to him, and he was trying to cling even tighter to that which was never his.
It was so elementally, brutally wrong. And I couldn't sit by and do nothing.
But this adversary definitely had a challenge rating higher than mine. Oh, I was no pushover; I'd been six-one, two-hundred-and-fifty pounds since eighth grade. The football coach had always said I was linebacker material, but my favorite games were on video game consoles and table tops, not on grassy fields. But this guy looked, and acted, like an athlete who'd had everything handed to him for his entire life just on virtue of being who he was.
But not this time.
Let the encounter begin. Roll for initiative.
I stood and made my way to the counter, where I ordered a refill for my current coffee, plus a second coffee. After a few seconds, the barista set the cups on the counter. I was sure to leave a dollar in the tip jar (that's how it's done, jerk).
Carrying the cups across the store as if they were vials of alchemist fire (which, considering the temperature at which the store kept their coffee, wasn't an unfair comparison), I formulated the battle plan in my head as I made my way to the graduate student's table.
Roll for attack.
In my left hand, I squeezed the cup until the plastic lid popped off the top, slopping a little coffee over the side, making sure not to burn my fingers. Just as it hit the tile floor, I squeezed the top off the other cup in my right hand.
When I faked the fall, it was fairly dramatic.
The cup in my left hand spilled its contents on the floor, which made faking the fall incredibly believable. The cup in my right hand, I made sure to pour into the lap of the person on my immediate right: namely, the Gibbering Mouther who had taken residence in front of the graduate student.
Critical hit.
He screamed a long string of obscenities and leapt from his seat, but I couldn't hear many of them because I had taken up a posture of lying on the floor, moaning in pain and holding my back as if I'd just dislocated a disk in my spine (I hadn't). I fully expected him to yank me from the floor and try to kick my butt then and there, but I was quickly surrounded by a crowd a people.
No one asks questions when a big person falls. They never assume I'd do it on purpose, because everyone assumes I'm clumsy and can't stand up straight because of my weight (I can). People started asking if I was okay, if I wanted someone to call an ambulance (I didn't). Someone from management even approached and asked if there was anything they could do, probably trying to make sure I wasn't going to sue the company (I wasn't).
From the floor, I opened one eye and spied the graduate student. Her assailant was nowhere to be found. Her eyes were on me. She didn't wear the pitying look of the crowd of gawkers who wanted to see the wreck the fat guy had made of himself on the floor of the coffee shop. She'd just seen me throw a full cup of alchemist fire onto the creature with which she'd been combating for twenty minutes.
She smiled, and mouthed the words, 'Thank you'.
I gave her a wink, and finally allowed someone to help me up from the floor, amid more fairly convincing moans and groans.
All in a day's work, ma'am.

Wool: For Strength!
At the end of 2015, I realized that, for as much as I reportedly love writing, I certainly wasn't doing much of it. At least, I wasn't posting on the places where my writing was supposed to exist, which was Cut and Dry, my creative blog, and Runner Confidential, my running/real-life thoughts blog.
2015 New Year's resolution? One new blog post every week. This is week 2, and so far I'm keeping up. I've decided to post in my two blogs on rotation. Since last week I wrote my first new Runner Confidential post in three months, this week it's Cut and Dry.
This story is a continuation of a story I posted way back in April of 2014, called, 'The Evils of Polka Dots'. You might want to check out the original before reading this one.
2015 New Year's resolution? One new blog post every week. This is week 2, and so far I'm keeping up. I've decided to post in my two blogs on rotation. Since last week I wrote my first new Runner Confidential post in three months, this week it's Cut and Dry.
This story is a continuation of a story I posted way back in April of 2014, called, 'The Evils of Polka Dots'. You might want to check out the original before reading this one.
"Okay. I changed my mind. I officially don't want to do this anymore. I'm ready to go home, and I promise I will never, ever say that my life is boring for as long as I live."
My arms trembled around the baseball bat I gripped, white-knuckled, in my hands. The fingerless, cable-knit mittens I wore made gripping the instrument difficult.
"Don't be silly!" Great-Aunt Cathrine told me, waving her hand dismissively. "You'll be fine. Now go ahead and open the door."
Aunt Cathrine spoke as casually as if she was discussing the weather. She didn't sound concerned at all of the snarling, spitting, and howling that was coming from behind the rickety wooden door.
When she had asked if I was ready to actually try out the magic I'd been creating in my Weaver Apprenticeship, I'd jumped at the opportunity. But then she'd driven me to a run-down side of the city, to an old, brick apartment building that looked like it hadn't been lived in since I'd been born. I didn't know the old woman could pick locks so expertly, until she'd led me inside the ramshackle building and to the third floor.
"I don't know, Aunt Cathrine," I replied, barely keeping my voice from quaking. "Are you sure I can do this?"
"Of course I'm sure! You've already progressed well with your Weaving. It's time you saw what the magic can do." With visible effort, she dropped the backpack she was wearing to the floor and started rummaging around inside. "If you don't want the bat, I still have the crowbar if you want to trade."
I'd tried the crowbar earlier, but it had been too heavy for me, so I'd settled on the bat. "It's not the bat I'm worried about," I fretted. I didn't want to say, It's whatever's behind that door, so I said, "It's the mittens." I flexed my fingers nervously, as if making sure the mittens were still there.
Aunt Cathrine looked appalled. "Why're you worried about those? I watched you knit them myself! They're perfectly adequate, for a first attempt."
Perfectly adequate didn't seem like the best adjective for something that was supposed to protect me from certain death. "Are you sure I shouldn't have made them with fingers? It feels like they'd be better with fingers."
"Bah! Fingers!" Scoffed Aunt Cathrine. "Fingers would make gripping the bat too difficult. And, like I told you, the real power lies in the fists and wrists! Fists for fighting prowess, wrists for willpower!" She poked the gloves with her long, boney fingers. "Wool, for strength! Blue, for confidence!" With her other hand, she tugged on the flannel shirt I wore over my t-shirt, which she and I had sewn ourselves. "Plaid, for protection. Wool, for even more strength. And red, for courage."
"You never explained why the magic only works in colors, patterns, and fabrics," I said.
"You're stalling," Aunt Cathrine said. I gulped; she was right, but I had been hoping she wouldn't notice. "And as for why magic needs a color, needs a mood, I have no idea. My mother didn't know, so she couldn't teach me when I was a Weaver Apprentice. It just works the way it works."
I trembled, and the bat in my hands shook harder. "Why didn't Mom or someone else learn to be the Weaver Apprentice? Why did it have to be me?"
"It has to be passed from a Weaver to a female relative, at least one generation younger," Aunt Cathrine replied. "I never had a daughter. And your mother was always too interested in boys and basketball to bother learning the family secret."
The snarling behind the door grew louder. "But I'm twelve! I can't do this!"
"You and I Wove those mittens and that shirt together," Aunt Cathrine said, a little softer than before. She knelt beside me, wincing. Her knees were hurting again. "You know the magic that's in them. They won't let you down. And, more importantly, I won't let you down. I wouldn't let you try this if I didn't think you could handle it." She smiled, still looking young and energetic, despite being in her seventies. "I remember when you were just a little thing. You've grown into such a brave, capable young woman. You can do this, Maggie."
Tears had appeared at the corners of Aunt Cathrine's eyes. I blinked, and found tears in my eyes, too.
I bit my lower lip and tightened my grip on the bat. "Okay, Aunt Cathrine. I'm ready."
Aunt Cathrine stood, wincing again. "Okay. Creatures from The Darkness can sense Woven magic, and they're scared of it. You need to draw on the blue, for confidence. So when you run in, give it your best battle cry, okay?"
I took a deep breath. "Okay."
She gripped the knob. "Ready?"
I stared at the door, gripping the bat tighter. The gloves suddenly started to feel warm on my hands, and my fear started melting away. By the time I opened my mouth, I almost believed what Aunt Cathrine said about me actually being able to do this. "Ready," I said.
Aunt Cathrine threw the door open, and I ran into the room before I could talk myself out of it. I screamed as ferociously as I could, holding the bat like a sword.
The room was dusty and dingy, full of overturned furniture and boxes of junk. Evening light created a haze in the air through the grimy windows. At first, I didn't see anything, and my battle cry ebbed away. The I saw some movement in the corner of my eye, behind a moth-eaten couch. I moved around it, holding the bat high, ready to bash.
At first I thought it was a cat, because it was hairy, and not much bigger than a cat. Then it opened its eyes. All of its eyes. There were, like, twelve of them, each one bulging and bloodshot. And I was so busy counting its eyes that I didn't notice its teeth until it opened its mouth and growled at me.
Boy, were there a lot of teeth.
The bat suddenly felt very heavy in my hands. It began to droop. My gloves started to cool.
"Don't lose your confidence!" Aunt Cathrine yelled form outside the room.
I tried to reply, but it came out as a tiny whimper. The furry, bug-eyed Darkness creature hurled itself at me.
My battle cry changed into a scream of terror. But the creature never touched me; instead, it slammed into a invisible wall inches from my face and ricocheted against the busted couch. My flannel shirt heated so quickly that it felt like I'd stepped into a sauna.
"That's the plaid!" Aunt Cathrine called. "It's protection is only good for one hit that fierce!"
I looked down, and found that Aunt Cathrine was right. What had before been a plaid shirt was now simply a red, wool shirt. The protection had been used up; the plaid was gone.
The creature lay dazed on the floor, but it was starting to stir. I screamed again, and this time it was a battle cry. My gloves warmed again. I charged across the room. The bat suddenly felt lighter as I lifted it over my head. The temperature of my shirt matched my gloves.
The creature looked up at me with those eye again, and it snarled through a mouthful of fangs. My confidence wavered, but I simply screamed louder and brought the bat down on the creature with all my strength.
The thing exploded in a wave of cold, black smoke. The bat struck the floor, and with an ear-splitting crack, broke in half.
I stood, stunned, for a moment, until I felt Aunt Cathrine's arms around me and heard her cries of excitement. "You did it, Maggie, you did it!" I blinked for a few seconds, and then I finally was able to understand what had happened.
Where the creature had been, the carpet and walls were stained with ash and soot. The bat lay splintered at my feet. And my fingerless mittens were gone; they were now only a pile of shredded blue wool on the floor. The shirt Aunt Cathrine and I had made was gone, too. There were only a few shreds of red cloth on the ground and clinging to my t-shirt, but even they were crumbling away to nothing.
"Oh, looks like you burned through the magic pretty quickly," Aunt Cathrine said, dusting the remains off my shoulders. "The more you need it, the more quickly it gets burned up. And it looks like you needed it. Or, at least you thought you needed it." She picked up the broken piece of the Louisville Slugger from the carpet. "Looks like you put all of that Woolen Strength into one swing, grasshopper!"
I was still breathing heavy. Now that the Woven magic was wearing off, I was feeling sore all over. And cold, since all I was wearing was a t-shirt in the chilly building. "Aunt Cathrine," I said, unable to take my eyes from the bat's broken handle in my hand. "I'm ready to go home now."
She put her arm around my shoulder and guided me from the room and down the old building's stairs. "Of course, kiddo. Hot chocolate from Starbucks on the way home, on me." She squeezed me tightly. "None of the other seventh-graders would believe them if you told them what you did this weekend, would they?"
I numbly shook my head, but smiled anyway.
We stepped from the building into the wintery January air. Aunt Cathrine took off her own coat and wrapped it around my shoulders. "You going to keep that promise, kiddo?" She asked.
I looked up to her, puzzled. "What promise?"
"That you're never going to say you're life is boring, for as long as you live."
I actually laughed, and leaned close to her so she could hug me tighter. She did. "For as long as I live."

Every time Matlene Flint walks into her Athens home, she sees a portrait of her son, Marion Flint Jr., looking back at her from the living room wall.
Wearing a dark blue T-shirt and looking pensive and relaxed in front of photos of his family, it's the way she likes to remember Marion, who was killed in action in Balad, Iraq, on May 15, 2006, when a bomb exploded near the vehicle he was riding in.
"To me, that portrait gives life to the house," Matlene Flint said. "I feel like it's a wonderful thing to have, and he just lives on in it. You're not going to forget (him), and every time you come in the house, you see the picture on the wall."
Flint's portrait is one of more than 50 oil paintings of Georgia soldiers on display until Nov. 11 at the National Museum of Patriotism in downtown Atlanta. The gallery opened Saturday and is organized by Art From the Heart, a group with the Atlanta Fine Arts League that recruits professional portraitists to volunteer their time and talent to commemorate Georgia's fallen soldiers.
So far, artists with the project have painted more than 55 soldiers, about half of the Georgians killed since fighting began in Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.
For Matlene Flint, seeing her son's image on display with so many others Saturday was even more moving than seeing the portrait in her living room.
"It got very emotional," Flint said. "Seeing so many soldiers on the wall, especially when you notice their ages, it was kind of rough for a while. For anybody that goes to see those portraits, it will be overwhelming at first. But it's also wonderful, really wonderful."
WHERE: 1405 Spring St. NW, Atlanta.
HOURS: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays; 1-5 p.m. Sundays.
ADMISSION: Adults, $12; students 7-18 and seniors, $10; children 6 and under, free
ON THE WEB: www.museumofpatriotism.org
Lisa Gleim and Geri Zaki are among a handful of Georgia artists who launched Art From the Heart in 2005. Gleim worked on a similar project to remember firefighters and policemen killed during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and Zaki said part of her motivation came after a visit to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington.
She was moved by the names she saw on "The Wall," Zaki said, but she also found the memorial a little impersonal. As a professional portraitist, she felt her medium would be a way to capture the lives and character of each individual.
The portraits typically are a composite of several different photographs, and the artists often meet with the families to try and capture the subjects' lives through the paintings. Some of the soldiers are pictured in uniform, while others, like Flint, are wearing street clothes. Many of the soldiers in the gallery are smiling; others appear stoic or even somber. It all depends on the artist's interpretation of the individual and how the families want their loved ones to be remembered.
"Having a portrait puts a face on the numbers we read in the newspapers," said Zaki, a Lawrenceville resident. "Whereas a photograph is a snapshot, this is a story, a history of that person and a moment in time. It's a personal way to honor them, and the exhibit is an opportunity for Georgians to come and view the portraits to see the soldiers as individuals."
For the artists, spending weeks looking at these images of soldiers and talking to their families, the experience can be overwhelming.
"I was truly not prepared for how deeply I would be touched emotionally," Zaki said. "I got to care very much about his wife and family. It's a joyous thing on top of something somber. These men and women had wonderful lives. That's part of the celebration of it."
Bogart artist Carole Chalmers has painted portraits of two soldiers, 21-year-old Sgt. Paul Saylor of Bremen and 27-year-old Sgt. Thomas Strickland of Douglasville. Both were killed in a Humvee accident on Aug. 15, 2005.
The portraits for Strickland and Saylor represented several weeks of work for Chalmers. During that period, she spent a lot of time talking to people who knew them well and looking at photographs, some of which were taken when they were children.
"Trying to get to know them through their mothers' eyes is one of the goals I set for myself," Chalmers said. "I know these boys, and they're very much alive in my mind. I tried to impart that in the paintings. I didn't want the ladies to look at the paintings and see sad people. I wanted them to see their sons as people they have joyous memories of."
Patti Strickland saw a photograph of Chalmers' portrait of her son last week, but Saturday's gallery opening was her first chance to see it in person. It also was special for another reason - Saturday would have been her son's 29th birthday.
"It was a great birthday present," Patti Strickland said. "It just helps so much. I'm overwhelmed that (the artists) are willing to do this. They're sharing their hearts and apart of themselves for us."
Patti Saylor received Chalmers' portrait in June, and said she had grown so attached to the image of her son that she found it hard to part with the painting when she loaned it to the gallery. Saylor's funeral did not include a viewing, and Patti Saylor said the portrait helps her remember her son's image better than any photograph.
"When I got to see the painting, it was very emotional, because it looked like he could step out of there," Patti Saylor said. "It's hard to describe the impact it has on you. It's so lifelike. It was like I was willing him to speak to me. I don't think the artists that did this realize the impact they had on the families."
Art From the Heart's goal is to provide portraits for every Georgia soldier killed in the line of duty whose family requests it.

The DC Extended Universe's (DCEU) second major entry, Suicide Squad (2016), is (as of this writing) less than two months away from release and both DC and Warner Brothers are doing all they can to generate more hype for their movie starring the worst heroes ever. On June 18, 2016, director David Ayer shared the poster on his official Twitter account with the comment "Skwad up people!" and a quick glance at the post's comments section shows that the marketing team behind Suicide Squad deserves a good pat on the back and a promotion.
Keeping the movie's now well-known energetic and offbeat tone intact, Suicide Squad's latest poster proudly show off its large cast striking poses against the backdrop of a mural made primarily of comic book styled graphics that do a good job of evoking the punk and urban art styles that have now become synonymous with the title. In complete contrast to BVS: Dawn of Justice's (2016) posters that promoted an epic clash of brooding titans, Suicide Squad lightens things up with bright colors and playful characters who look like they were played by people who had fun during shooting. While some may find this a bit out of character on DC's part since the comic book giant has made a name for itself by giving audiences some of the most serious interpretations of superhero stories seen in recent memory, Suicide Squad's anarchic vibes are definitely going to shake things up in DC's stuffy cinematic lineup.
From convicted felons to murderous psychopaths to government agents from organizations that shouldn't even exist, Suicide Squad's characters as seen in both the poster and a brand new banner (above) are off to a good start in living up to the movie's tagline of being some of the most unconventional heroes audiences will be treated to since Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). The most notable person missing from the promotional materials is Batman (Ben Affleck), who has been confirmed to have a small but important role in the movie. While the character has been spotted more than once in the trailers, nothing much is known about his involvement in the story outside of the hint that everyone in the gang has a grudge against Gotham City's dark knight.
DC comic book readers may find this obvious, especially for characters like the Joker (Jared Leto), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith) and Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) who all fought Batman on multiple occasions in the past but how the movie will reintroduce this conflict while adding relatively unknown and obscure villains like Flash rogue Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Diablo (Jay Hernandez), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) and Slipknot (Adam Beach) to the mix is currently left to speculation. Throw in the government's people like Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) and Katana (Karen Fukuhara) who obviously have motives of their own and the possibility that the tensions between characters will explode at some point become more plausible. Only time will tell if the members of the titular group will become a combination of memorable villains and antiheroes or if they're just nice pieces of concept art come to life, but if one thing is for sure, it's that we'll be seeing a lot of the squad members in future cosplay conventions.
Some may dismiss Suicide Squad as yet another superhero movie that's trying too hard to look cool given its edgy stylistic choices but in a genre that's nearing dangerous levels of saturation where it's becoming harder to differentiate one superhero adventure from the other, a comic book movie that focuses on the bad guys instead of the boy scouts in capes is a refreshing change of pace. Quite frankly, saving the world's getting pretty boring these days. The movie's overall quality has yet to be determined but right now, everything seems to be going in Suicide Squad's favor. Furthermore, the addition of David Ayer, writer of the gritty cop movie Training Day (2001) and director of the underappreciated war movie Fury (2014), helps inspire confidence in the upcoming movie and fuels fans' hope that Suicide Squad gives the troubled DCEU the shot of adrenaline it needs so it can save face after Zack Snyder's depressing BVS: Dawn of Justice fucked up and divided audiences instead of convincing them to support DC movies with their ticket purchases.
Suicide Squad will be released by Warner Brothers on August 5, 2016 and is rated PG-13.

CJ_Flash_Man 4 years ago#1
Beyond Wrestling - https://www.youtube.com/user/BeyondWrestling/videos
Now, admittedly, this isn't entirely my cup of tea, they aim for the "INDYTASTIC" style, but to their credit, they do try to bring some fresh talent to the table, while mixing in some more notable stars. They occasionally put up free matches from their shows, but the main meat is their All Killer episodes, which are an hour and have 3-4 matches packed into them.
Atlantic Pro Wrestling - https://www.youtube.com/user/atlanticprowrestling
Showed up in the related video section last night on some random indy match. These guys aren't the best quality, but they are putting up full shows, which the most recent one is from last month like 2-3 weeks ago. They have, at least for a small time indy fed, a nice set up. Commentary, post production stuff, etc, etc. Not everything is top notch, but I was watching some of it and it's not that bad. If anything, some of those guys stand out more and could be valuable assets to a bigger indy fed.
Assortment of East Coast indies - https://www.youtube.com/user/LEOTHELION820/videos
Most of this stuff seems to come from PA, NY, and a handful of surrounding states. Not full shows, at least not in one long video, just matches. I suppose it omits promos and stuff, but it's not bad if you just want to see some fresh talent. There are some notable guys, CHIKARA guys, Delirious pops up in one of the more recent matches, so it's a nice mix of stuff.
Head Drop - https://www.youtube.com/user/HeadDropProductions
Covers two feds, if not more, but I only see two feds being covered. One is an hour long show and the other is a half hour. Again, may not be like the pinnacle of the indies, but it's far from garbage and could be something to check out if you have the time.
UWA Elite - https://www.youtube.com/user/UWAEliteVids
Has two weekly shows, one being a minor Heat/Velocity/Xplosion/etc/etc type show that has less story progression, but focuses on mostly matches. Then they have a bigger RAW/Impact/etc type show that sets up their bigger shows and features promos, recaps, and more in addition to the wrestling.
Devil Mountain Wrestling - https://www.youtube.com/user/DevilMtnWrestling/videos
Mostly shows broken down match by match, with some post show/pre show promos and stuff sprinkled in. I can't speak much about them, other than I've watched matches here and there, but again, may not be the absolute best, but it's worth checking out if you want to see something new.
And that's it for now, but there are tons more that I can cover and as always, it's as simple as searching indy wrestling on youtube. The talent is out there, the content is out there, a lot of it is free, so if you're looking for something a bit newer and want to see just what kind of talent is out there, which one could be the next breakout star, heck even getting a fed some recognition and helping it get some more fans, it's all available and easy to access.

That's the goal, I'll bring some more to the table tomorrow as there are numerous indy feds that are putting up free content.

Some more updates
C4W - https://www.youtube.com/user/c4wwrestling/videos
Only 3 shows up so far, which may or may not mean they aren't going to continue uploading them. But since the last one is from within the last month, I'll let them slide. It's not one of the better ones in terms of quality, but it's still some decent wrestling.
NWA Smokey Mountain- https://www.youtube.com/user/cwnews
One of the better ones I've come across, featuring lots of great talent and great matches. Serves as hype for their bigger shows, but still features a nice array of matches, including closing moments of their big matches to really hype up the action. This is one of the ones I'd say check out if you have the time.
Assortment of indies - https://www.youtube.com/user/RefereeToby/videos
The guy who runs this channel refs for the Devil Mountain fed I posted earlier, but he also has matches up from other feds that he works for. So if you're purely looking for matches and not interested in any stories or anything, this is for you.
CWF Mid-Atlantic - https://www.youtube.com/user/CWFMidAtlantic/videos
This is one of the premier ones in my opinion. Andrew Everette aka Chiva Kid who has been making waves as of late works here and they have a lot of great talent. Mostly hype videos, with some matches, but they do have some full shows up there. Definitely one to check out and they do iPPVs and stuff, so if you like what you see, this is the only one I've posted so far that you can support financially. But even if you don't, it's still a great fed to check out.

CJ_Flash_Man (Topic Creator)4 years ago#8
Victory Championship Wrestling - https://www.youtube.com/user/BellTimeProductions/videos
Another one with half hour shows once a week, covering hype, promos, matches, etc, etc. What's funny is that, they are involved in an angle with the APW fed I posted earlier, so you get some cross promotional clips and some hype for both fed's shows.
Eater of worlds
CJ_Flash_Man (Topic Creator)4 years ago#9
Impact Zone Wrestling - https://www.youtube.com/user/IZWOKLAHOMA/videos
They used to air their shows for free through Go Fight Live, but now they charge, or they were last time I checked. They have their weekly shows, as well as iPPVs, but this channel seems to put up a handful of matches from the month, so it's worth checking out.

Correspondence: Aletha Yvette Akers, MD, MPH, Division of Gynecologic Specialties, Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Received for publication June 3, 2007, and accepted December 4, 2007. References Cited By HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS (HIV) testing rates among Americans over age 50 are low. Although 44% of US adults have been tested, only 10% to 15% of those over age 45 have been tested.1 Older adults are frequently tested late in their disease course.2–5 As a consequence, they are more likely to present with opportunistic infections, progress to acquired immune deficiency syndrome, and die within a year of diagnosis.2,6–9 Few studies have examined HIV testing and HIV risk behaviors among older persons,4,10–13 particularly among older women from high-prevalence communities.10,13 In this study, we examined HIV testing history among older women in a high-prevalence community. Our objectives were to: (a) determine the prevalence of past HIV testing, (b) identify predictors of HIV testing, and (c) examine the distribution of HIV risk factors among women based on age and HIV testing history. We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire in a general internal medicine clinic at a large hospital in Atlanta, GA between June 2001 and July 2002. Eligible women were English speakers over age 50 presenting for routine medical visits. Excluded women were incarcerated, acutely ill requiring immediate medical attention, or not fully communicative because of mental retardation, dementia, or intoxication. Of 564 eligible women, 514 (91%) participated. This analysis includes the 488 women who answered the question about their HIV testing history. Our recruitment and consent process is described in detail elsewhere.14–16 The 68-item questionnaire was administered in a face-to-face interview. The Institutional Review Board at Emory University School of Medicine approved the protocol. The main outcome measure was self-reported past HIV testing. We included independent factors that influence HIV testing behavior4,17–24 and HIV risk25,26 including sociodemographics, HIV knowledge, perceived HIV risk, actual HIV risk, whether currently sexually active, and recall that a provider ever recommended HIV testing. Demographic variables included age, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, employment, and sexual orientation. We modified a previously validated item assessing perceived HIV risk27 and 2 previously validated scales measuring HIV knowledge27 and lifetime risk of exposure to HIV.28 A detailed description of each modified scale is provided elsewhere.14 The 9-item HIV knowledge scale was scored from 0 to 9 with higher scores indicating greater knowledge. We dichotomized scores using a median split. The actual HIV risk scale classified women as low, moderate, or high risk for lifetime exposure to HIV28 based on medical history, personal, or partner risk behaviors. Univariate analysis was performed to obtain descriptive statistics. For the bivariate analysis, we used Pearson χ2 (or the Fisher exact test) for categorical variables and the Student t test or Mann–Whitney U test for continuous variables. We performed stratified analyses based on HIV testing history and age groups. A multivariable logistic regression model identified independent predictors of past HIV testing. The model contained sociodemographics, perceived and lifetime HIV risk, sexual activity, and recall that a provider recommended HIV testing. We report the adjusted proportion of women reporting each characteristic rather than odds ratios as the odds ratios might overstate the magnitude of the associations.29 Two-tailed P values were used throughout with statistical significance set at P <0.05. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA version 8.1 (StataCorp, College Station, TX). Women ranged in age from 50 to 84 years (median 61). The majority were black, heterosexual, and not sexually active. Most had low HIV knowledge scores, low HIV risk perception, and moderate- or high-risk factors. Previous HIV testing was reported by 169 (35%) women of whom 156 (92%) knew the results of their test, 2 (1.3%) reported being HIV-positive. Compared to never-tested women, previously tested women were more likely to be younger and recall that a provider ever suggested HIV testing (Table 1. Thirty-nine percent of women aged 50 to 54 had been previously tested compared to 26% of those aged 55 to 59, 21% of those aged 60 to 64 and 14% of women age ≥65 years (P <0.001). Previously tested women also had higher HIV knowledge and were more likely to be sexually active, have moderate- or high-risk factors, and perceive themselves at high risk for HIV. Table 1 Only 2 variables predicted a history of HIV testing: younger age and recall that a provider recommended testing. As age increased, the likelihood of previous HIV testing decreased significantly. Fifty-four percent of women aged 50 to 54 had been previously tested compared with 49% of women aged 55 to 59, 37% of women aged 60 to 64, and 16% of women over age 65 (P = 0.001). The strongest predictor of past HIV testing was recall that a provider ever recommended HIV testing: 91% of women who recalled a provider recommending HIV testing had been tested HIV compared with 16% of women who did not recall a provider recommending HIV testing (P <0.001). Women aged 50 to 54 were more likely to have almost every risk factor compared with older women (Table 2). This difference was statistically significant for 3 risk factors: partner with a history of intravenous drug use, prostitution, and number of sexual partners in the past 3 decades. Similarly, previously tested women were more likely to report all of the HIV risk factors compared with never-tested women (data not shown) with this difference statistically significant for 6 risk factors: partner with a history of IVDU (19% vs. 4%, P <0.001), HIV+ partner (1% vs. 0%, P = 0.05), history of exchanging sex for money (9% vs. 3%, P = 0.003), having 2 to 5 (34% vs. 28%, P = 0.02) or >6 partners (3% vs. 1%, P = 0.02) since 1978, and exposure to blood products (8% vs. 3%, P = 0.02). Table 2 Our findings suggest that the upper age limit for offering HIV testing in the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) new HIV testing guidelines may not be warranted in high-prevalence communities. The new guidelines recommend that providers offer HIV testing to adults aged 13 to 64 with the upper limit chosen because persons over age 65 comprise less than 2% of new HIV infections.30 Thus, the guidelines were designed to target the age group most likely to be infected. Our sample had a high HIV prevalence (>1%) with almost two thirds of women over age 50 and nearly half of those over 65 reporting moderate- or high-risk factors for lifetime exposure to HIV. However, less than a third of the women had ever had HIV testing and testing rates decreased with age. A major concern is that the CDC's upper age limit might inadvertently prevent providers from offering testing to older women who are at risk. This is a real concern given previous studies demonstrating that providers frequently fail to perform sexual risk assessments, provide risk-reduction counseling, or recommend HIV testing for older patients.4,13,31,32 Studies performed in a variety of settings, including the current study, found HIV testing was associated with provider recommendations for testing.18,22,33–35 At a minimum, providers should routinely obtain sexual histories from older women assessing women's current and past sexual partners' risk behaviors and should offer HIV testing, if appropriate. Providers should also counsel older women about safe sex behaviors, such as condom use, given previous studies demonstrating that older women are less likely to use condoms.36–39 There are several considerations when interpreting our results. Participants were predominantly nonwhite, from a Southeastern community with a high HIV prevalence and cannot necessarily be generalized to populations with different sociodemographics or a lower HIV prevalence. The cross-sectional design does not allow us to assess the directionality or validity of the observed associations, such as the association between recall that a provider recommended HIV testing and HIV testing history. Selective recall bias may have overinflated the magnitude of this association because previously tested women were more likely to recall a provider recommended testing. Our measures of lifetime HIV risk and HIV prevalence were self-reported and thus subject to recall and social desirability bias. Some HIV-positive women may have chosen not to disclose their HIV status. Similarly, some women may have chosen not to report their own or their partner's HIV risk behaviors. Despite these potential limitations, we were able to determine risk status for more than 80%, almost two thirds of who reported moderate- or high-risk factors. We did not determine when, why, or even if previous HIV testing had occurred. Understanding why previous testing had occurred would have provided valuable additional information for understanding the HIV testing behaviors of older women in this population, but this data were not collected. Previous studies indicate HIV testing in older persons is often performed for persistent, unexplained symptoms. We did ask women who were interested in HIV testing to provide a reason for their interest. Most were concerned about their health, safety, or a previous or current partner's risk status.14 Finally, we did not assess the number of women who received a HIV test on the day of the questionnaire. The results of those tests would have provided a better idea of the HIV prevalence than our self-reported measure. This study demonstrates that lifetime prevalence of HIV risk factors can be substantial among older women in high-risk communities. Our findings suggest that the upper age limit for CDC's new opt-out policy may perpetuate low testing rates among older, at-risk women. The results reinforce the fact that providers should obtain social and sexual histories from older patients assessing current and past HIV risk behaviors and recommend HIV testing as appropriate. HIV prevention programs targeting older persons have been shown to be effective at increasing HIV knowledge, empowering older adults to accurately assess their HIV risk status and that of their partners, and increasing HIV testing rates.30 These programs have not been widely adopted. Given that the US population is aging rapidly, it is important that we replicate effective HIV education prevention and testing programs targeting older adults.

Oakland Athletics vs. Houston Astros - 9/7/15 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Houston Astros (74-62) at Oakland Athletics (58-78)
MLB Baseball: Monday, September 7, 2015 at 4:05 pm (O.co Coliseum)
M Fiers (7-9) (3.54) vs. F Doubront (2-1) (3.99)
The Line: Oakland Athletics +128 / Houston Astros -138 --- Over/Under: 8 See the Latest Odds
TV: CSN-California, FS-Southwest
The Oakland Athletics welcome the Houston Astros to town in American League West action.
The Houston Astros are at the point in the season where a long dry spell could drop them from first in the AL West and out of the playoff picture. The Astros had lost four of six before the offense came to life in an 8-5 versus Minnesota. Starter Dallas Keuchel improved to 17-6 with three solo homers served up over eight frames. The Stros hammered out eleven hits and walked four times. Jed Lowrie led the way with a grand slam while Jake Marsinick went deep and knocked in three and scored twice. The Astros send red hot Mike Fiers the hill for his second meeting against the Athletics. Fiers is coming off of back to back complete game victories with one being a no hitter.
USA TODAY Sports
'How the mighty have fallen' describes the Oakland Athletics who have fallen from playoff contender to last. The Athletics latest slide continued with a 3-2 defeat against Seattle on Sunday for their 8th defeat in eleven contests. Sean Nolin threw the ball well in defeat with all three runs scored on five hits and three bases on balls through six frames. The A's logged nine hits and walked twice with Billy Butler leaving the yards while Danny Valencia driving in Mark Canha. Left hander Felix Doubront toes the rubber for the 4th time on the season. Doubront is coming off of an 11-5 win versus the Angels where he allowed four runs on seven hits and four BB in six frames.
The under is 17-6-1 in Houston's last 24 road games while the Astros are 16-36 in their last 52 road games. The over is 12-3-1 in Oakland's last 16 overall and is 15-5-1 in their last 21 on grass while the Athletics are 6-2 in their last 8 Monday games. I'll go with Fiers and the division leader…

I am planning a short weekend trip with 10 of my friends in a week. This is the menu that I've planned for the event.
1 Vegetarian, 2 kids
no open campfire, we will be cooking on stoves
all are training for some kind of endurance sport (or aspire to), so we need a balanced diet
Island trip, so everything is carried in two coolers and trying to keep the weight light and portable.
Hoping to be on the fancier side, since this is not officially backpacking with these ladies..
L- Bags of salad + pre-roasted mushrooms + lentils + vinaigrette + bread + fruit
D- Thai curry paste + coconut milk + firm tofu + eggplant + quoina + stir fried bamboo and green beans
B- Soft polenta (or faster alternative) + fried/poached egg + sun dried tomato + chopped olive and parsley salad
L- BYO Sandwich~
D- Lamb chops marinated, frozen and sealed in foodsaver bags + Israeli couscous salad
B- Miso soup, sliced braised pork belly, somen, mushrooms and kelp..
do you think lamb is too greasy done in a pan? or do you think i should opt for a pork chops or fish??
i have not done polenta outdoors... do you have a alternative to put under with this eggy b-fast?

text: March 10, 2017 SMOOTHIE BOWL My first try at an Instagram-worthy smoothie bowl ~ 2 c power greens, whole cucumber, whole avocado, ice, coconut water, mint sprigs, dash of lemon juice mmm, healthy fat I enjoyed most of the toppings, however, when I didn't finish it and went to blend all together for a massive smoothie the pomegranate seeds got real weird. Probably wouldn't do that again. Evenly blended, good consistency though didn't want to hold some of the heavier fruit for that long. Reading other recipes, a thickening fruit or vege would work or making it colder should do the trick. Kiwi, more mint, chia seeds, pepitas (pumpkin), pomegranate seeds, coconut, strawberries Only a small race against time trying to get all this to stand afloat for a pic :P Turned out pretty and def learned some things for next time!
