How Do I Become a
Child of God?
The Bible says, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
Jesus Christ died on the Cross to save you. He loves you so much and wants to bring you into eternal relationship with Him, but that can't happen as long as we're separated from Him by our sinful nature.
If you've never asked Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life, just pray this simple prayer right now. You'll have a home in heaven with Him after you die, and you'll receive His promises of peace, protection, provision, and the presence of His Holy Spirit here on earth:
Dear Jesus,
I need You. You loved me so much that You gave Your life for me. I believe you are God's Son and that He raised You from the dead. Thank You for dying on the cross for me and for providing the only way for me to have a relationship with You.
Please forgive me for all my sins, and wash me clean with Your Blood. Come and live in my heart now, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Please be the Lord of my life. Teach me how to love You and walk with You every day.
I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior is a life-changing decision. If you've just prayed these words in faith, we want to rejoice with you and help you begin your new journey as a child of God! Give us a call, or email us via the Contact Us (<click this link>) page. We have a booklet that we would like to send to you, and we are always available to answer any questions that you may have.
(Please go to our contact page and email us…we want to rejoice with you in your decision!)
What's Next?
When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, God's Word declares many incredible truths about your new identity. No matter what you may have done before being born again in Christ, in Him you are a "new creation," saved by God's amazing grace. Scripture says, "Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Remember that Jesus loves you, and He wants to know you better. In order for this to happen, it's important that you find a local bible- believing and teaching church to grow in. As you begin your new life with Jesus, be sure to spend time with Him every day. Talk to Him. Read the Bible. "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him" (Psalm 37:7).
As you grow and mature in your new faith and your knowledge of the Bible, you will learn to recognize the Lord's voice speaking to you in your mind and heart. He will bring you wonderful comfort and direction for your life as you gain an understanding of His Word.
Welcome to the family of God!

An uninhabited atoll in the Western Pacific holds the clue on where the world's most famous woman navigator died.
More than 80 years after her plane went down over the Western Pacific, the mystery of where and how pioneer aviator Amelia Earhart disappeared while trying to set a world record, appears over.
Amelia Earhart. Photo/ New Atlas.
Earhart left Papua New Guinea on July 2, 1937, flying over Kiribati and the Marshall Islands towards Hawaii on what would have been the first around-the-world flight by a woman.
Scientists have used updated research on bones and other artefacts to debunk claims she landed and died in the Marshall Islands.
The evidence points to Earhart and her navigator most likely surviving a crash landing near Nukumaroro or Gardner Island in Kiribati, and dying there as castaways after their plane broke up and washed away into the ocean.

Taking inspiration from old, defunct factories and rustic surroundings Vintage Industrial, aka Industrial Chic, is one of the hottest trends when it comes to the design world. It is a trend that marks a significant departure from the mainstream, yet is quickly becoming mainstream in itself.
With the digital age apparently encouraging a decline in basic human connections, people seem drawn to the real connection to brands that is expressed through this trend.
A connection to the written word through raw hand lettering showing craftsmanship and skill.
A connection to the past and history through vintage inspired pieces.
A connection to uncomplicated, honest and natural brands.
Or, simply put, a connection to other people.

Baek Nam-hak, 69, said he first subscribed to The Korea Herald in the early 1970s when he was in college.
"I was living outside the capital back then and did not have much resources for studying," Baek told The Korea Herald. He said he had mainly read editorials in the paper to prepare for job entrance tests, which had required comprehending English passages within a short amount of time.
"If you read editorials regularly for about six months, you could become familiar with terms related to current events and (English) sentence structures, even when you're a beginner," said Baek. "I think The Korea Herald is very helpful for those who want to study English or prepare for English job entrance exams."
After reading the paper regularly for about four years back in college, Baek sought The Korea Herald again after retirement. He has been a subscriber of the paper without interruption since 2006.
"Upon retiring, I decided to read an English newspaper so as not to miss out on global changes, trends or issues," he said. Baek said he recommends a "well-structured newspaper with history and tradition," such as The Korea Herald, as a means to maintain a global perspective after retirement.
He further emphasized the value of editorials, which are what he skims through when he does not have time to read the paper from front to back.
"Since editorials deal with the latest issues at hand, they could be seen as a summary of important news," Baek said.
For Baek, The Korea Herald is also a source of conversation topics for speaking with foreigners. Baek, who had previously worked overseas, has regular phone conversations with native English speakers three times a week.
"Some of the statistics I have seen (on the Graphic News section on page 2) are very suitable to use as an icebreaker at the beginning of each phone call," said Baek.
Baek added that he especially prefers The Korea Herald's typeface to that of other English newspapers here. "Although it's my personal preference, the typeface of The Korea Herald seems much more beautiful and comfortable to read."
While saying that he is overall satisfied with how The Korea Herald has been doing, Baek said he would like to see more expressions used by native English speakers.
"When foreign interviewees are quoted directly, there are a lot of 'live' English expressions, those that are difficult for Koreans to grasp instantly," noted Baek. "I think it would be nicer to see more of such native English in articles and editorials."

Also known as the buffalo, millions of American bison once roamed across the American plains.
Also known as the buffalo, millions of American bison once roamed across the American plains. Native Americans depended on bison for their food and clothing, and used the dung—called buffalo chips—as fuel for their fires.
The coat of the bison is dark brown. It is very shaggy at the shoulders, actually consisting of two layers. A thick undercoat traps body warmth. The outer coat, which is shed in the summer, is made of long guard hairs that keep out wind and shed water. The hump on a bison's back consists of muscle and bone used to support the buffalo's large head. Both the male and the female have curved horns.
Bison do not have good eyesight, but they have a sharp sense of smell and very good hearing. They can maintain speeds up to 35 miles (56 km) per hour for as long as a half-hour, and are also excellent swimmers. Bison are migratory grazers. Their food is chewed, then swallowed and regurgitated. This is called chewing the cud, but the scientific name is rumination. Like all bovines, the bison does not have any incisors in the roof of its mouth, but it does have a pad and jaw teeth.
Although bison look like overgrown cattle, they are wild animals and can be extremely dangerous. During the breeding season, the bulls are easily provoked, and a cow with a calf will protect it by charging. On the other hand, when a herd feels threatened, the cows will surround the calves, and the bulls will surround the cows.
Adult bison have few enemies, though wolves and coyotes may attack the old, sick, or young. Females mature in two to four years, usually producing one calf per breeding season—July through September. After a gestation period of nine months, calves weigh about 65 pounds (29 kg) when born and are able to stand in a couple of hours.
Early American settlers nearly wiped out the buffalo, reducing the bison population from over 50 million to around 500. After they were put on the endangered species list, the herds increased to over 100,000 bison by 1991.
Today, farms and ranches raise bison for their meat and hide. Because bison and domestic cattle are of the same kind (Bovidae), they can reproduce and their offspring are called "beefalos." Since bison are very territorial and prefer to stay close to their home range, they are hard to contain in new surroundings. Farmers usually purchase calves because mature bison will break through the sturdiest of fences to return to their original home.
Artiodactyla • Bovidae • Bison bison
Height: 6 feet (1.8 m) at the shoulder
Weight: 2,210 pounds (1,000 kg)
Length: 12 feet (3.7 m) from head to tail.
Life Span: 20 years in the wild, up to 40 years in captivity.
Special Design Feature: The coat of the bison is actually two coats. One is a thick undercoat to trap body warmth and the other has long guard hairs to keep out the wind and it sheds water.
Did You Know? The American bison is the largest land mammal on the American continent.

GEM Motoring Assist considers the mobile phone to be the most dangerous distraction on the road and produced a leaflet detailing a safety and courtesy code for motorists and mobile phones in conjunction with the National Campaign for Courtesy.
GEM CEO and National Campaign for Courtesy vice-chairman David Williams explains that the solution to this widespread problem is elusive: "in truth, most road safety professionals, police and the public have such mixed views…there could be more enforcement, but that is so costly and police numbers are being cut. Another option is bigger penalties, but culprits have to be caught first."

3- A Favicon
A Favicon is what makes a website stand out!
Favicon is a small image of the size of 16x16 pixels that is used to graphically represent a website in the browser.
A great favicon allows the visitor to quickly identify and revisit your website. You can use a Favicon generator to create a Favicon for your website.
Having a favicon builds a sign of trust and it differentiates your website from your competitors.

CTA buttons are the most important element of your website. They help to get a visitor converted by clicking on a button.
No surprise, having CTA buttons in an area that is easily viewable helps the customers to click often. You can try out the CTA button generator to easily create a CTA button.
Here are some best practices to follow:
- Use actionable text in your CTA button like "Get your free e-book" or "Try our new recipe for free".
- Use contrasting colors to enable the CTA element to stand apart.
- Create a sense of urgency by using text like "hurry", "only for today", "first 50 customers", "sale ends soon" etc.
- Have lots of white spaces surrounding your CTA button.
- The placement should be logical and they should have a close proximity to the previous action.
5- A Blog
If you are still putting all your efforts into promoting your services page and not leveraging the benefit of a blog then you are making a huge mistake.
Most of the leads are generated by a blog.
Having a blog on the website will let you attract more traffic and eventually you will start getting more conversions.

Kanye West has pleaded no contest and been sentenced to two years probation for assaulting a photographer at an airport in Los Angeles.
West, who was not present in court, submitted a special plea through his attorney in which he maintains his innocence.
The rapper was sentenced to two years of probation, 24 anger management therapy sessions and 250 hours of community service for misdemeanor battery.
Paparazzo Daniel Ramos accuses West of punching him and grabbing his camera in an unprovoked attack last July at Los Angeles International Airport.
West maintains his innocence and the plea cannot be used against him in a civil lawsuit brought against him by Ramos, the BBC reports.
The photographer claims he still takes medication from injuries sustained from the alleged attack. "I was doing my job and he broke the law," Ramos said. "If I did what he did to me, I'd be behind bars."
West was arrested in 2008 following another altercation with photographers at the same airport. The case was dismissed after he paid for their broken equipment and attended anger management counselling.
Earlier this year, West reached a civil settlement with another man he had been accused of assaulting in Beverly Hills after the man reportedly used a racial slur against his fiancee, Kim Kardashian. No charges were filed in that case.

Are you running your virtual assistant services like a business or a hobby?
Are you running your virtual assistant services like a business or a hobby?
Are you running your virtual assistant services like a business or a hobby?
You can look up the law within your state/country on what the government considers a hobby or a business…
But here in the United States with the laws of the IRS, you do not want your business to be a hobby. Because you cannot take advantage of the "tax deductions" if it is a hobby
Of course, you want tax deductions for a business
BUT let's face the facts what you really want …
Is to be able to always operate in profit mode, right?
If you're running your virtual assistant business in profit…you're definitely not a hobby and you do not have to worry about the IRS
Here are a few questions to ask yourself right now, no matter where you are at in your business, or what your business is:
- Are you totally invested in making your virtual assistant/ virtual service business a success?
Or are you just going through the motions? Sleeping late, no business schedule, working too few of hours, and when you're working focusing on the non-essentials…and wasting to much time on things like social media?
- Are you partially committed?
What I mean by that is do you want a virtual assistant business to be a success, but yet you're not willing to try new things outside your comfort zone. Including things like investing in products, or services that are essential to growing your business?
- Do you depend on the income from your virtual assistant business?
Most Virtual Assistants and entrepreneurs I see fail always have a cushion….meaning they have someone/ or something to fall back on if their business does not take off. Those who succeed usually have to! So set yourself a goal right now. Maybe that goal is $500 per month to pay a car payment. Make that car payment dependent on you making money. I promise you; you will work harder to achieve that goal. As you reach each goal, make a new goal and strive for that.
- Do you know your bottom line?
You might know the purpose of your virtual assistant business is profit, but have you taken a serious look at your prices and finances?. Do you know what your true cost of doing business is? (IE Hourly Rate should include your expenses like insurance, tools, etc.) Do you know your value? Are you charging what you're worth?
- Do you run it like a business in all legal aspects? Have you registered your business name?
Have you checked into all the legalities of the area you live? Have you fulfilled that list of requirements? Have you set up a business checking account, business credit card, and merchant accounts? DO not mix the accounts, pay business expenses out of your business account and then pay yourself! Setup a method of accounting that works for you.
- Have you set realistic financial goals? Or any goals at all?
Obviously, if you're just starting out your business, it is probably not the size you want, or be bringing in the money that gives you the freedom you want. But have you set your goals? Do you know what is achievable at the rates you have set? Have you researched others in the field you are working? Do you know what the going rates are, or are you undercutting, just get clients? Can you do the work that is required in the time you have available, at the prices you have set to reach your personal financial goals? Have you set long-term financial goals?
- Are you continuing to improve your service, and skills to be more profitable?
Are you continuing to grow your client base? Do you look for ways to add to the bottom line?It's ok if you're not starting out with a lot of skills, there are A LOT of great resources out there to help you. But spend the time and knowledge to get those skills. Do not think you can become a virtual assistant with no skills at all. Invest in yourself, and invest in your knowledge, GROW your skills.
- Do you have a professional brand/appearance in your business?
Does your logo look amateur? Have you printed your business cards yourself? Does your business scream "homemade", or "inconsistent"? Do you have an email address that is dedicated to your business? Do you have a domain name that you have registered or purchased?
- Do you have a dedicated place to do business?
Online you should have a website where you can send people to learn more about you, your services and purchase from you. Offline, you should have a dedicated spot within your home to do business. Even if it is corner in your kitchen, set-up a dedicated place where you can keep all your business tools and go to during "business hours.
- Are you marketing, and promoting your virtual assistant business on a regular basis?
Does your business exist only because of word of mouth advertising from your friends, or do you have a marketing plan to promote and advertising your business? Or do you promote your business on a consistent basis online and offline, in networking groups
If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions, take a hard look at your virtual assistant business. There's nothing wrong with a hobby unless you're expecting it to pay your car payment each month.
But if you need to be able to pay the bills and have a business you love, and it is not happening for you, then start to look for outside help. If you already had what you needed you would be already getting the results you want!
Be honest with yourself, and find a way to fill in the holes, rather that be a mentor, a training course, a consultant, whatever you need, even if it is out of your comfort zone. And if you're not ready to do this..then maybe it is time to reevaluate your "business."
Are you struggling with running your virtual assistant services like a business?
I would love to hear from you!
Virtually Yours,

Young drivers simply require support and not high premiums
Following the news that over-50s are paying more than the safest young drivers who use black box insurance, Crispin Moger, CEO at Marmalade, explains that young drivers simply require support and not high premiums.
Crispin Moger, CEO at Marmalade, says: "When I first considered starting my own business I believed there had to be a better way for insurance companies to work with younger drivers and insure them on ability rather than age.
"I've never been that impressed by the ability of some of the older drivers I have seen and this spurred me on to make changes. In actual terms of ability, young people are generally very good drivers, with better reaction times and so on but they simply lack experience. I wanted to help this group and see if there was a way of getting them lower insurance premiums so they could afford to benefit from the freedom that driving can offer.
"At Marmalade we offer advanced telematics-based insurance for our young customers. Our 'safety first' approach means that we can help young drivers to drive sensibly on the roads and be aware of the dangers, creating safer younger drivers which in turn enables us to offer low premiums from the outset. It's a win-win situation and we're not going to change our approach, so we can continue to offer the best possible price for young drivers.
"Using up-to-date black box technology, we monitor driving and flag to young drivers when there is a problem based on accelerating, braking, cornering and speed. If there is an issue, we call our drivers within 24 hours to discuss what happened and provide advice on avoiding the same mistakes. This has enabled us to achieve a fantastic safety record, which has in turn meant that we can keep our premiums low.
"The topic of young drivers and associated insurance premiums will always be of interest. Our focus at Marmalade is to keep the safety of our young drivers at the heart of the business and make sure they have the experience and knowledge to be responsible users of the road."

Sneak Preview of The Shaw Festival's 2018 Season
Canada's Shaw Festival is a tribute to George Bernard Shaw and his writing contemporaries.
It's a good idea to make both theatre and lodging reservations early, especially with the B&Bs on weekends. Our home away from home is the beautiful and well-placed Wellington House (email@example.com), directly across the street from The Festival Theatre, and within easy walking distance of all the theatres. I also like the Two Bees B&B (1-289-868-9357), which is downtown. For information on other B&Bs go to www.niagaraonthelake.com/showbedandbreakfasts
Many Clevelanders take the four-hour drive up to "The Shaw," as it is called by locals, just to participate in theater. Others tour the "most beautiful little city in Canada," eat at the many restaurants, and go shopping for Canadian goods. Some take a side trip to Niagara Falls to see the world's water wonder or to gamble. Whatever, The Shaw is a wonderful spring, summer or fall adventure.
There are some wonderful restaurants. My in-town favorites are The Grill on King Street (905-468-7222, 233 King Street), Ginger Restaurant (905-468-3871, 390 Mary Street) and Niagara's Finest Thai (905-468-1224), 88 Picton Street, with Old Winery, (2228 Niagara Stone Road/905-468-8900), a worth-while ten-minute ride from downtown.
Tim Carroll, in his second season as The Shaw's Artistic Director, dedicates this season to a chance to put into practice what he learned in his first season. The audiences love musicals, passion, crime, laughter, brilliant writing, pure escapism, in-person performers and romance. So, here are his 2018 theater offerings:
THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW-C. S. Lewis's plunge into Narnia at its very beginning. An adventure of what it means to do the right thing. (World Premiere) April 4-October 13.

STAGE KISS-In this modern romantic comedy by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl, two bitter exes are cast in the same play as passionate lovers. Will they strangle or seduce each other? April 11-September 1.

O'FLAHERTY V.C.-Packed with family feuding and witty repartee, this G. B. Shaw one-act skewers every illusion about why we go to war.
OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR-A provocative WWI musical intended to make audiences laugh, cry and clench their fists. July 14-October 13.
THE ORCHARD (After Chekhov)-It's Chekhov's THE CHERRY ORCHARD transformed into the tale of two immigrant families fighting to hold onto their orchard in British Columbia. June 7-September 1.

HENRY V-A troop of Canadian soldiers is hunkered down in a dugout during WWI with some copies of Shakespeare's HENRY V for company. July 22-October 28.

In order to fulfil our obligation to our own Safety 1st Strategy , we need to identify and treat risks in a common manner, and one which complies with the legislative requirements of the OH&S/WHS Acts.CAMS has, through wide consultation with its members, established both a process and a form to record the identification, ranking, and control, and checking of risks in motor sport held under its auspices.The 'form' which will be used to record risks is the 'Targeted Risk Assessment' form.It is important that this form be filled out in a common, and logical manner. This paper has been assembled to assist the understanding, and logic behind the form, and to assist in the process of assessing risks.Assessment of risk can be undertaken in different ways, depending upon the experience, information, time and other resources that are on hand.Most of our assessments will be undertaken using a 'qualitative assessment' method, which means they will be based on information gained primarily through our training, and experience of the matter at hand, rather than reference to statistics and mathematical probability.

Division 1 Coaches Share Their Top Tips
- Published on Monday, 26 October 2015 11:06

Looking to play lacrosse in college?
Maybe you have a friend or family member you want to help reach the highest level in the sport, or perhaps you didn't make the team but haven't given up hope.
Eight Division I coaches shared their top tips with Girls Lacrosse HQ to help young recruits reach the next level.
The common consensus? Be a well-rounded athlete before you become an expert in lacrosse.
Each coach had her own take on this necessary trait of a top-level lacrosse player, but they all presented a unique strategy on how to develop it.
With these tips in your arsenal, you might think twice about specialty camps, high-end training, year-round leagues and intense club-level play as a pathway to playing lacrosse in college.
Cindy Timchal – Navy Head Coach
The key is to get the kids to love the sport early. Coach Timchal also loves to observe other sports to see how they are accomplishing this and feels like the sport of Girls Youth Lacrosse can really learn from other sports like Soccer and Tennis. These two sports have spent a considerable amount of time drastically changing the game play at younger levels by altering equipment and field size.
She feels there is a real gap in the equipment in Girls Youth Lacrosse. "We as coaches need to get better at adapting the youth game for the younger smaller player. We put large bulky equipment on a small girl and expect her to move in the same way as those at the older levels. "
Chris Sailer – Princeton University Head Coach
"My tip is for girls to continue to play other sports throughout high school, not just lacrosse, so they can develop their overall athleticism and game awareness, build transferable skills while minimizing injury risk from over specialization, get exposure to different coaching styles and approaches, and experience different roles as they play on different teams. As a coach, I want to recruit the most athletic and smartest players I can, and I've seen over the years the very real advantage that multi-sport players have when they get to the college level. Besides that, I would encourage girls to watch as much high level lacrosse as possible and try to emulate some of the moves and stick work they see. "
Cathy Swezey – Vanderbilt University Head Coach
Vanderbilt Coach Cathy Swezey feels as though there is too much early specialization at the youth level. Girls are playing lacrosse all year long missing out on the opportunity to play different sports to hone their athletic skills. Coach Swezey would rather see a player in her program who may be lacking in lacrosse specific skills but is a well-rounded athlete. Further, she feels that specialization in just lacrosse tends to lead to more injuries because players are not moving their bodies in enough of a variety of muscle movements. Playing the same sport all the time leads to overuse injuries.
Sarah Albrecht – University of New Hampshire Head Coach
"The top tip for girls lacrosse players trying to get to the next level of play is to learn as much as you can. Go to camps, clinics, and don't be afraid to try things, fail, and try them again. Every great player has learned to make failure a positive experience by learning and making that skill better. Never shy away from a challenge. A player, no matter how good, can always get better."
Jenny Graap – Cornell University Head Coach
Compete in as many sports as possible because variety produces a well-rounded athlete. A byproduct of playing several different sports is the excitement and anticipation of lacrosse season. Multi-sport athletes are learning how to compete from a variety of coaches, in different arenas, courts, fields, pools, rinks, and gyms. Nurturing the competitive spirit and developing a winning attitude in an athlete is essential. At the collegiate level, coaches can train fitness and X's and O's, but the best lacrosse players already have an intense passion for competing. Where there's a will there's a way and real competitors won't rest until they find a way to WIN!
Coach Graap points out that participating in organized sports does not guarantee that an athlete will be a great competitor. "I think individuals can learn tactics, hone strategies and develop competitive instincts by playing board games, card games or backyard games with their families. If it's a game, competitors want to win, and they hate to lose!"
Lisa Miller – Harvard University Head Coach
Coach Miller's top tip for getting to the top levels in the game is simply to play. By "play" she means the truest sense of the word. "Go out and play catch, start a pickup game and overall have fun."
Why is this so important? Because it trains what Coach Miller points out is the most important intangible skill that a player can obtain and that is known as sports IQ. When youth players are fed too much structure, they are not pushed to increase their sports intelligence.
Additionally, when children are left to come up with the rules of the particular game that they are playing, they are developing valuable leadership skills.
When young players are provided more unstructured play surrounding the game of lacrosse, they are more likely to nurture this critical skill that is essential to competing at the highest levels.
Laura Brand – Rutgers University Head Coach
"Have realistic expectations and dedication to improving your skillset." When Coach Brand talks about skillset, she is not just talking about your stick skills but your quickness, physicality and ability to be explosive on the field. She also points out that it is important for you to develop your Lacrosse IQ. How? Coach Brand says that with all of the lacrosse games that you can now see on TV and the internet that you can really find out what the college level entails.
As far as keeping those realistic expectations when trying to get to the next level, "use the resources around you" says Coach Brand; "reach out to your high school or club coach and ask them to help you assess your level of play and where you can best fit at the college level. Division I might not be in your future, so it is best to have a more realistic expectation of where you belong and focus on getting there. "This is about allowing the student athlete to have the best possible experience and giving them the best opportunity to be successful."
Julie Myers – University of Virginia Head Coach
"Do all the little things you can do ON YOUR OWN before practice begins…fitness, stick work, footwork and keeping it all fun but challenging. I truly believe in the multi-sport athlete. Having different teammates and coaches, working on different skills and using different muscles while competing is the best (and most fun) way to gain experience and to get better on every field. The more fun you have playing, the more often you'll play so find ways to make it fun and keep it going."
Combine all these tips and you have a blueprint to reach the next level. Remember, what these Division I coaches look for doesn't always show up on the stat sheet. Focus more on non-lacrosse skills before mailing your recruiting letters.
An ancient Buddhist proverb once sad, "You are like this cup. You are full of ideas. You come and ask for teaching, but your cup is full. Before I can teach you, you'll have to empty your cup."
Student-athletes seeking knowledge on how to reach the next level should be open to receiving it. Empty your cup and apply these tips as you strive to become a well-rounded athlete.

This paper reports the result of a pencil-and-paper test developed to assess young children's understanding of mass measurement. The innovative element of the test was its use of photographs. We found many children of the 295 6-8 year-old children tested could "read" the photographs and diagrams and recognise the images as representations of their classroom experiences. While the test had its limitations, it also required explanation, deductive reasoning, and justification of thinking through the open response questions. We have demonstrated that it is possible to develop pencil- and-paper tests that use photographs and diagrams to closely connect written assessment to classroom experiences of young children. Such assessment tools can reveal a range of children's thinking and can be a useful addition to various authentic assessment practices.

'Otello' Metropolitan Opera
However well performers of oversize skill and temperament may fare in the Met's oversize productions of recent decades, mediocrities inevitably shrink still more under their weight. After the many cast changes by Thursday evening in Elijah Moshinsky's new production of Verdi's "Otello," only one singer truly commanded the stage: Renee Fleming, as Desdemona. Ms. Fleming, a striking stage presence, maintained tonal finesse and achieved a certain subtlety even under the premature vocal assault of Vladimir Atlantov's Otello.
Mr. Atlantov's initial entrance, sounding hard, constricted, and forced rather than powerful, made clear that a long night lay ahead. Nor did his characterization allow the slightest sympathy for the Moor. Petulant, squirmy and bereft of dignity from the start, this Otello was all tragic flaw, with vocal flaws to match.
Timothy Noble brought good vocal quality to Iago, but his characterization lacked any strength or menace. Oh, he was a scamp all right, but the slightest setback might well have sent him scurrying off long before Otello finally shooed him away.
Michael Myers, in his Met debut, overcame a shrill start to sing a serviceable Cassio. Wendy White, inaudible at first as Emilia, emerged strongly in Act IV.
Adam Fischer conducted, also in his company debut, and seemed slow to gain control of the chorus and orchestra. Even then the playing proved singularly uninspired; a mistuned patch in the strings at Otello's last entrance was simply amateurish. JAMES R. OESTREICH

Colorado stop protecting bad medical professionals! Educate yourself Coloradoans! Colorado deems a child's life worthless, they have no earning potential! Change the law Colorado!
I just met another parent who lost their only child to the poor quality of medicine in Colorado. People think this will not happen to me. This will not happen to my child in Colorado. It happens everyday in this state, children and adults are allowed to be tortured and killed in Colorado by medical professionals and for years Colorado protects them!
Not only do they value an adult life at about 426,000 dollars, BUT this disgusting state says, a child is worthless because they have no earning potential. It gets even worse. Colorado does not allow for punitive damages. They do not recognize the pain and suffering of all the mothers and fathers when their children are killed.
This state continues to say, that my child's days of pain and suffering are gone, because he is dead!! What I watched my child endure, screaming in pain for days as all the doctors stood by a and watched because a person could not read simple instructions printed on the side of a bottle of Clonidine powder.
NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN BE PLACED ON A LIFE! SADLY, THAT IS ALL AMERICANS PAY ATTENTION TO. Money.
Americans think, oh they got millions it must be a wrongful death or they got millions those medical professionals must have done something wrong. If no money is won, then Americans think, oh they did not do anything wrong. THIS is how people think. Lots of money=guilty or No money= not guilty
MONEY is the only thing people listen to or see as a threat. Colorado has long protected these negligent people straight up to the Attorney Generals Office and the DORA/ Division of Professions and Occupations. They will not let these horrible pharmacists, pharmacies, doctors, and hospitals even get a mark on their license. They allow them to keep endangering both adults and children with bad medicine!
****There was a bill that was voted down this past spring 2017 in Colorado. A parent who lost his son to bad doctors, a 6 year old boy I think. He tried to pass a bill in Colorado and this state voted it down.
A child's life in Colorado worthless. Not just poor children, all children! A $300,000 damages cap in Colorado. Don't get excited about 300 grand, they subtract medical bills, and again if the person dies their pain and suffering is gone!
Enough Colorado! My child along with many others should be alive! You killed my little boy! I want you all to lose your licenses and go to jail! That is what I really want! All to lose your careers for what you did to my son! All of you face charges!
A year and a half later:
*Detective Henry Stucky has NOT charged anyone with "failure to report". None of the pharmacists or doctors reported a child overdosed to the authorities. They all failed as mandatory reporters.
*DORA and the Attorney General have NOT done anything with 5 charges and everyone involved still has licenses.
*The Larimer County Coroner did not do his job. Where are my son's tissues?
*No one has been held accountable for the days of torture of my child.
This is not just about Jake Steinbrecher, it is about all children in Colorado! All lives in Colorado, this state does not value life, adults and absolutey has no value for children.
Again, the only threat people listen to is money. We all know the USA would not allow doctors or pharmacists to do hard jail time for criminal neglegence. Colorado change the laws. Tell these pharmacists, nurses, and doctors if they kill someone they will be held accountable!
Coloradoans here is the law. Educate yourself! Adult life once dead, a few hundred grand. A child's life less!
Note: The one million dollar cap is if you survive and are disabled. Don't get excited they take out medical bills first.
Yes. Like a lot of other states, Colorado has passed a number of laws that put limits on the amount of compensation that a patient can receive even after a jury has found that an error by a doctor or other health care professional liable caused the patient's injuries.
Colorado is a little unique in that the state actually has two damage caps on med mal cases.
First, there is a $1 million "umbrella" cap on the total amount of compensation that a medical malpractice plaintiff can receive, whether economic losses — which includes payment of past and future medical bills, as well as compensation for lost income and reduced earning capacity — or non-economic losses, which we'll explain in more detail below.
A plaintiff might be able to get around Colorado's $1 million cap if there is good cause for doing so and the court finds that application of the cap would be unfair under the specific circumstances of the case, but any amount in excess of $1 million will typically be limited to compensation for future medical care and future earnings.
The second Colorado law you need to know about sets a damage cap of $300,000 on non-economic damages in a medical malpractice case. Non-economic damages are those that aren't as easy to quantify or capture with a dollar amount. That includes compensation for "pain and suffering," loss of enjoyment of life, fear and anxiety, sleeplessness, scarring, disfigurement, and other subjective negative consequences of the defendant's medical malpractice.

Good Day Pharmacy October 31, 2015 thru November 5, 2015 My son had been on Clonidine for about 3 years for Sensory Processing Disorder.
The doctor prescribed the liquid correctly and sent it via computer to having the medication compounded at Good Day Pharmacy in September 2015. Rx: 0.03 mg/2 ml. In a liquid form. At the end of October I called in a refill. On October 31, 2015 at about 11:00 am, Jake received his first dose from the new bottle. Jake complained that the medicine tasted bad. Within 30 minutes of receiving the medication, Jake complained of feeling dizzy and fell asleep.
At about 11:35 am I called the pharmacy. A man answered the phone, Joseph Poling pharmacist. I explained what had happened and asked if he could check if the medication was made correctly. He suggested that the bottle was maybe not shaken, and that my son had received a little more of the Clonidine. I was not comfortable with this answer.
I insisted to bring my son into to the pharmacy right away, and to show pharmacist, Joseph Poling, that Jake was in a deep sleep. Joseph Poling turned us away and told me, "We did not shake the bottle." I knew the pharmacy was about to close. I kept calling Joseph Poling to inform him this does not sound right. Again I called the pharmacy and asked, "If the prescription had been made correctly?" He told me, "yes, according to the log book it was made correctly." The pharmacy was closing at noon. The pharmacy manager Joseph Poling and a pharmacist, advised me on the phone to let Jake sleep for a couple of hours and watch him, and that according to the log the prescription was made correctly. I was told again, you must not have shaken the bottle enough. The pharmacy manager said, if Jake did not improve after a couple of hours sleeping to contact his doctor. Joseph Poling admitted he was in a rush that day and wanted to go home.
Jake was watched very closely while he slept over the next couple of hours. It was Halloween, one of Jake's favorite holidays. (Jake never got to wear his costume.) Jake didn't wake up, in fact, he fell into a deeper sleep. I pinched his feet and hands and there was no response. I knew it had to be the new bottle of Clonidine! I tasted the tip of the bottle and it burned my tongue!
We immediately went to MCR emergency room. I rushed Jake in, carrying my unconscious son in my arms, unresponsive. An intravenous catheter was placed and initial labs were drawn.
It was becoming apparent at that time that my son was having a serious medical emergency. I informed the doctors there was something seriously wrong with his new bottle of Clonidine. I was told that the liquid was already adsorbed in Jake's system, and no activated charcoal could be used. No vomiting was induced.
The decision was made to transfer him to Poudre Valley Hospital pediatric care unit. He was transported by ambulance, and we arrived about 7 pm. At this time, my son was in a catatonic state that soon went into a cycle of violent and frightening hallucinations. Every 15 to 20 minutes he would come out of his coma like state screaming in fear and unaware of his surroundings. He was seeing gruesome monsters trying to attack him and hurt him.
Jake had to be held to prevent him from pulling off the leads during these terrifying episodes. His vital signs were highly irregular during this time. I started asking, if there was a way to have the pharmacy opened.
At approximately 3:00 am November 1. 2015. I was holding my son. He had a grand mal seizure lasting about 3 minutes. It was one of the most frightening things I have ever seen. Until this past June, when we I saw him suffer for 7 hours and die! The decision was made by the doctor on staff to have my son transported by "Flight for Life" to Children's Hospital Colorado Anschutz medical campus . My son was given Ativan to prevent seizures and outbursts on the flight.
During the flight, around 4 am, I left a message on Good Day's Pharmacy's voice mail, demanding they find what the error was in the prescription. I was screaming on the phone,"There is something wrong with the prescription you made for him!" When we arrived at the intensive care unit. Jake was subjected to another battery of tests, including his first Cat Scan. His condition continued to deteriorate. He was placed on an EEG to monitor his brain waves to check for hidden seizure activity. I WAS DEMANDING EVERY 15 MINUTES FOR SOMEONE TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THE PHARMACY AND FIND OUT WHAT WAS IN THE BOTTLE! (no emergency after hours number was on the voicemail)
I asked many, many, times about reversals for Clonidine. I kept getting told, there was none. I even went to the hospital library to use their computer, and I went outside to find a stronger signal for my cell phone. In my profession, we reverse patients and detox them after overdoses. I found very quickly, that Narcan/naloxone has been used in Clonidine overdoses in the past in several well cited publications. I quickly started asking the doctors, if we could use Narcan. I was told, "no". Over and over again. Narcan is the proven reversal for Clonidine overdoses!
Jake's cycle of hallucinations and catatonic states continued. Eventually my son lost all ability to speak and would just scream in terror. A second Cat Scan was ordered and there was evidence of brain swelling. No words can explain the devastation we felt at that moment.
The doctors began to try to reverse the brain swelling with a hypertonic saline solution only. They did not use steroids to reduce the brain swelling, Why? Because no one would pick up the phone and have the pharmacy opened. Not one single doctor even considered Narcan. The hospital didn't want to use steroids, because they continued to assume it must be an infection. One phone call would have stopped this! Since, the pharmacy was closed (and no one would pick up the phone to have the pharmacy opened)with no way to confirm the contents of the prescription my son was subjected to many unnecessary painful tests to rule out other causes. Even with no history of illness, Meningitis was still in their minds, again with no prior symptoms. The decision was made to treat Jake with the antibiotics for this. These antibiotics had risk to my son's kidney's and his blood work had to be monitored closely.
In the early evening of November 1, 2015. The doctors informed me that Jake's sinus node was failing and that they needed to start a drug to regain a normal heart rhythm, but Jake's condition continued to decline. Later that morning, when an actual cardiologist was on duty we were informed that the medication was not necessary, it was his heart normal response to protect itself. The medication was stopped.
About 8:00pm that evening, Amy Clevenger DR.0054027, decided an MRI and a lumbar tap were needed to see why Jake was not improving. Late that night Jake was sedated and an intubation tube was placed to maintain Jake's airway for the MRI and lumbar puncture.
The lumbar puncture was delayed for over an hour with my son intubated in the room, because the staff got busy. They were also waiting for an attending physician or student to show up, to show them how to correctly do a lumbar puncture. At times, my son was left without medical supervision while he was under intubation, sometimes without even a nurse at the desk and, only me to monitor my own child under anesthesia.
At about 2:00 am November 2, 2015 Amy Clevenger informed us, that Jake had abnormal areas in the brain that could be consistent with a condition known as "PRES", caused by sudden and traumatic injury to the brain, or a rare degenerative demyelinating sheath disorder.
Both of which could mean my son would never be normal again and may not survive. (Just to inform the public, drug overdoses can cause "PRES") It was a pain that I could not describe.
I was shattered into a million pieces. I SCREAMED AT AMY CLEVENGER OVER AND OVER "NO IT IS THE CLONIDINE! STOP CHASING ZEBRAS, STOP TREATING AND TORTURING MY SON FOR THE WRONG THING! IT IS THE CLONIDINE!" I BEGGED, "JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND WAKE UP THE PHARMACY OWNERS."
I could not imagine how we could leave the hospital without my bright beautiful boy.
Would I never hear his sweet voice again.
How he would never speak or know who I was. It was the darkest moment of my life, one that I relive every hour of everyday! Now replaced by the memory of the horrific day he died .
I went back into the room and I crawled into bed with my son and held him close.
I kept saying to him,"I needed him and to fight! How much I needed and loved him."
A few hours went by and Jake started to slowly respond.
**I felt him move, I looked down and Jake said, "Hi Mommy" The single greatest moment of my life.
I could not believe it!!!**
At about 1:00pm I believe. I received a call from Good Day Pharmacy.
The same man I had spoken to on Saturday. He then told me the mistake that had been made. The prescription had been compounded at 1000 times the proper dose. Not 0.03 mg per 2 ml but, 30 mg per 2 ml we were told by Good Day it was made by, I could not even speak. At that point I realized how close I came to losing my son.
The horror occurred to me, that had this been a night time medication, I could have awakened to find my son dead in his bed.
The fear set in of what could be the long term damage to my son's life?
I politely, thanked the man for delivering the news.
A few hours later Vicki Einhellig RPh, one of the pharmacy owners called to show her concern and express how bad the pharmacist felt Vicki said, it was Pharmacist Tomi Folkestad PHA 0015850. and that she was so good she used to work at PVH hospital. It was no comfort to me! SOMEONE had made the prescription 1000 times the concentration.
***After months of lying it was found that a licensed pharmacist NEVER made my son's prescription. Courtney Lawson mixed my baby's prescription 1000 times to strong! The label on the bottle says: filled by NP (Nicole Peterson). Court documents state Courtney Lawson not a pharmacist! Dumped 1000 times too much powder in my son's prescription.
I spent every minute of every day wondering if my son would survive!
We were released on November 3, 2015 in the evening. with no follow up care needed at all! according to Children's Hospital Colorado.
They did say, continued withdrawal symptoms would occur. I called both Jake's pediatrician at the time and Children's Hospital Colorado several times in the 72 hours and we got home. They also told me, I could resume Jake's normal Clonidine dose. I never did! I consulted with the original prescribing doctor and asked, "Can we stop the use of Clonidine?". He said, "Yes." We refused to put our son on any drug after that. That Wednesday and Thursday Jake was vomiting and had the shakes. He had horrible pain from the lumbar tap. Yet again, I was transferred from the pediatrician's office to CHC back and forth. One saying, I should call the other for answers.
My son was afraid to sleep alone after this. I was afraid to sleep at all.
He woke with nightmares almost every night. He was forever changed by this. AS WAS HIS MOTHER!
Jake died on June 8, 2016 from long term systemic damage from the overdose.
Jake Steinbrecher at dance class, practicing for his first performance. Jake died a violent death from long term damage caused by 1000 times the concentration of Clonidine, made at Good Day Pharmacy. Jake died 4 days before his dance troop was to perform, at the Rialto Theatre. My little dancer ripped from his mother forever at just 8 years old.
The sweet voice taken from the earth forever! Jake's last Easter voice recording 2016, Happy Easter, I love you Mom.

"Text Messages and Letter to the Larimer County Coroner." Let's Talk About the Coroner and the Detective. Is it corruption yet? Where are my child's tissues?!
Detective Henry Stucky and the Larimer Country Coroner have refused to respond to me or any of my phone calls, emails for months. Detective Stucky will however tell news channels there is an open death investigation.
Jake's autopsy and death certificate took a near record-breaking 5 months to issue. I became extremely concerned and started demanding a list of tissues samples taken from the office in about July of 2016. I kept getting told by Dianne Fairman "the pathologist" had not got back to her. This went on for weeks.
I should mention Jake tested negative for ALL blood bacteria and viruses while the coroner still had Jake's body! As you will see in the text messages.
Dianne made it seem the "pathologist" was in Denver or somewhere. I was shocked to find out, it was Mr. Wilkerson the Larimer County Coroner in the same building with her!!
I finally secured an independent pathologist. My pathologist wanted fresh cuts sent. The coroner's office began stalling and not shipping the samples.
I called Dianne Fairman very upset. She said, we are having to go through Jake's samples by hand. I was furious, I said "After 4 months my son's tissues should be labeled in gold!!"
I started calling other coroner offices across the country and they were telling me, this did not seem right. I filed a formal complaint against the Larimer County Coroner with the National Association of Medical Examiner's in September 2016, for un-ethical behavior.
*I am emailing the detective and the coroner none stop. Something is suspicious. The coroner's office delayed shipping for weeks.
*My son's autopsy report was released about October 23, 2016. Nearly 4 months and 3 weeks after his death.
*A letter to preserve was sent to the coroner on November 23, 2016.
**This is very important I left Jake's body at the coroner extra days, over 2 weeks. Jake died on the 8th, I did not cremate until the June 22.
*I called the corner everyday telling them to take EXTRA samples of every and a lot of them before I cremated. Dianne Fairman assured me and said, don't worry Caroline we took a bunch of samples you can cremate not worry.
In a previous post. I included emails to coroner. Below you will find screen shots of text messages with the corner spanning from June 2016 to October 2016. I put the last texts first, when I knew something was going terribly wrong:
It may come as a surprise to you, but accidental deaths occur in American hospitals at an alarming rate. At the end of 1999, the highly respected ("IOM"), a division of the National Academy of Sciences, issued a report in which it estimated that there are 98,000 accidental deaths in American hospitals each year, equating to about 15% of the hospital population. That means that there may be about 15,000 accidental deaths per year in hospitals in America.
Ninety-Eight Thousand accidental deaths is more than twice as many as the number of people killed by cars. It's as if 400 Boeing jets- each with about 250 passengers went down every year. Imagine the fervor over that.
One of the reasons that the accidental death rate is so high and why there is no public outcry is Hospitals, doctors, and nurses keep a lid on it. If word got out, that would be "bad for business." Secrecy and "double-record keeping" are encouraged by state laws that, in almost all states, forbid disclosure of any of the information gathered in a process known as "peer review." This takes place in a hospital after a patient death or injury that has been caused by a mistake. Doctors, nurses and hospital administrators look at what happened and try to prevent it from occurring again, but because the process is secret, there is no independent, public review of the accident's causes or of the medical establishment's remedy.
While state and federal laws require that a patient's true course and treatment be recorded in the patient's medical records, when a mistake results in death or injury, the patients' medical records are routinely rewritten, or information about what happened is omitted from the patient's record, or both.
The result is "double record keeping." There are the peer review records, which accurately reflect what occurred; and there are the patient's records, which are usually falsified.
The report, To Err Is Human, describes a "culture of secrecy" which envelops these tragic mistakes. Because of this secrecy, the Institute could only estimate the number of accidental deaths in hospitals. Neither the Institute nor anyone, else knows the true number of accidental deaths which occur in hospitals in the United States. County Coroners and County Medical Examiners play a role in keeping accidental deaths in hospitals secret. Coroners are charged by law to investigate accidental or suspicious deaths on behalf of the public. Public knowledge of why someone has died is extremely important in a democratic society. If a person can die from undisclosed causes, individual liberty is at risk. A hallmark of totalitarian societies is the fact that a person may lose his life without public knowledge of the true circumstances of death.
With regard to accidental deaths which occur in hospitals, however, Coroners are first and foremost politicians. They are elected office holders, and no politician ever fattened his campaign coffers or won votes by wrangling with hospitals and doctors. Hospitals are generally loved by the community, and they are also large employers. Physicians comprise one of the most powerful interest groups in our society. A Coroner who attempts to expose an accidental death that a hospital wants to conceal will not win any friends.
Further, Coroners usually do not have any kind of medical degree. They are not "forensic pathologists." Forensic pathology is the study of human tissues and fluids to determine the cause of death. Because Coroners are not professional forensic pathologists, they are unlikely to have the same degree of professional interest in the science of forensic pathology as physicians who have trained for several years in that science. A Coroner may lack the wherewithal to determine whether the forensic pathology being performed by the Coroner's Department agents on behalf of the public is adequate. While citizens can be certain that their County Coroner wants to assist law enforcement in apprehending and convicting criminals, they can be just as certain that their County Coroner will be very reluctant and very unlikely to apply the same diligence in trying to discover that a patient died from a mistake in a hospital. Here are some examples of what I am talking about.

This saying reminded me that some forms of entrapment can turn out to be for our best—the entrapment of love, for example, love in its many confusing, rich and contradictory forms, several of which I experienced.
First, the quiet, sustained and abstract love of the life at the Bodhi Manda Zen Center, where we were staying, the daily practice of living in a community, mindfully created according to the Zen precepts to nourish all who come there, either for individual retreats or as we did, on a weekend sponsored by Earthwalks, New Mexico, the extraordinary not-for-profit created and sustained by my friend, Doug Conwell.
Bodhi hosts all comers in a motel-style building above the rushing waters of the only flowing river I've seen here in many months, adjacent to a pair of hot mineral springs. Soaking in the hot water while a winter storm rushed in with big-flaked snow produced another version of the physical excitement I felt walking barefoot on the icy cement outside of the zendo as we lined up to go in for our 5 AM meditation.
I don't know anything about the Rinzai Zen Tradition, but seeing the way the daily meditations and the wonderful food was prepared by the wwoofers—young volunteers who come to live and work at the center for weeks or months—seeing the garden preparations, the greenhouse full of baby plants, and, above all, the powerful connection made here, minute by minute, between and active spiritual life and service—this was, for me, inspiring.Then we had the delight of sharing in a flute making class with middle schoolers at the Jemez Pueblo charter school. Our teacher, Marlon Magdalena, a Jemez artist, educator, and performer, kept a bunch of young students mesmerized during an entire morning, cutting and sanding sections of bamboo. Marking off the four finger holes, then drilling them, fitting the little bit of bamboo above the mouthpiece, then learning to play the flute was, for me, my first introduction to a wind instrument and to the patience and care making one requires. And each of us got to take a flute home.
The next morning, a big gathering of neighbors from the surrounding territory and from the Pueblo allowed me to believe that all of us, no matter what our backgrounds, are united in our search for peace and our love for this threatened earth.
The gathering, which was addressed by two Jemez Pueblo elders, replaced our planned work activity, helping to plant the gardens, which couldn't happen because of the snow. Every Earthwalks expedition includes a work day so that we come not just as tourists but as helpers. As we cleaned up our little rooms and changed the sheets for the next visitors, I was reminded, again, of how important shared work is to any worthy community.
May the Pueblo, and Bodhi Manda Zen Center, continue to flourish and the inspire us.

A section of corroded copper water pipe was submitted for examination and failure analysis. An overall view of the subject copper water pipe is shown below in Photograph A.
Photograph A Corroded copper water pipe.
The subject pipe was examined visually and using the stereomicroscope. No visual evidence of pipe perforation was observed. External corrosion and roughening of the outside pipe surface was clearly evident. A close-up view of the corroded surface of the subject copper water pipe is shown below in Photograph B.
Photograph B Corrosion/pitting of external surface of copper pipe.
The subject copper pipe section was pressure tested with a soap bubble solution during water submersion while pressurized. No perforations of the copper pipe wall could be detected. The soap bubble solution and submersion tests are shown in Photographs C and D.
Photograph C Copper water pipe being pressure tested with a soap bubble test.
Photograph D Copper water pipe being pressure tested during a submersion test.
No pipe wall perforation was noted visually or while viewing with the stereomicroscope. Soap bubble and submersion pressure testing also failed to reveal any pipe wall perforations. The highly pitted, striated external surface is characteristic of corrosion resulting from electrical activity. This form of corrosion is commonly referred to as stray current corrosion. The source of this electrical activity was unknown and undetermined.

A new red band trailer for Seven Psychopaths (featuring Colin Farrell) teases the dark comedy's obscenity-laced dialogue - courtesy of Oscar-winning filmmaker Martin McDonagh - as well as the deranged weirdos brought to life by actual odd "characters" like Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson, and Tom Waits.
Most of the footage here couldn't make into the green band trailer for reasons of language; specifically, an abundance of f-bombs mixed with subversive humor along the lines of McDonagh's In Bruges (also starring Farrell). Here, the filmmaker trades in the bleak hues of Belgium for warmer San Fernando Valley, while keeping the mood a bit lighter - but with characters as quirky as In Bruges' players.
Previous marketing for Seven Psychopaths focused on Colin Farrell as a struggling screenwriter who begins to incorporate the animated personalities around him into his work. That includes dog-napping buddies Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken (though, Rockwell prefers the term dog-borrowing), as well as Farrell's impatient girlfriend Abbie Cornish - not to mention, an old man who never lets go of his pet white rabbit (Waits).
The red band promo offers a better look at the side players, especially Woody Harrelson as the gangster who comes looking for blood after Rockwell and Walken kidnap his beloved Shih Tzu by accident. Harrelson's role was originally going to be occupied by Mickey Rourke - who, as it were, is a real-life bruiser known for being very affectionate towards his pet chihuahuas.
It seems as though the gangster character in Seven Psychopaths was based on Rourke to some degree - especially when you consider how Harrelson shifts from a murderous rage in one scene to cringing and whimpering on the ground (pleading to just scratch his hostage pet a couple times) in the next.
Seven Psychopaths is more than a twisted tale of writers, thieves, and dangerous criminals; it also mirrors McDonagh's experiences as a storyteller, constantly on the search for inspiration from the world around him - quite literally, as Farrell plays a character named Martin, who is writing a script titled... Seven Psychopaths. The rest of the film isn't quite so literal, though (one hopes - ?).
Fans of In Bruges tend to highlight McDonagh's witty wordplay - not to mention, his ability to shift from stark drama to bizarre comedy at the turn of a dime. Seven Psychopaths appears to maintain a more consistent tone than In Bruges, but it has the makings of an equally-memorable (and unusual) time at the movies.
Look for Seven Psychopaths to hits U.S. theaters on October 12th, 2012.
