According to news stories, Fred Phelps, long-time leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, is near death. There are unconfirmed reports that he was kicked out of the church last fall…and reports by some of his estranged children that they are not being allowed to tell him good-bye.
Most people have probably heard of Fred Phelps and his organization. They have made a career out of hate…picketing funerals of fallen soldiers and gay individuals as well as picketing anyone else who doesn't agree with their interpretation of the Bible. My faith denomination has had occasional pickets from the group at our legislative events, and I saw them recently when we went to an evening with Bill Cosby.
It has been tragic to see little children in the group–5 or 6 years old–holding up signs with words that I know they don't understand…and to realize the hate they are being taught. Some who were taught that way have been able to break away and follow a different path. But there are others who are even more defiant and sure that what they are doing is correct.
It would be so easy to say that Phelps deserves whatever he gets–whether it's in this life or the life to come…that he deserves being kicked out of the organization he founded…that he will end up in a place none of us wants to go.
But if we do that, then he wins. Hate returned by hate only gives birth to more hate and distrust.
Those of us who are Christians can remember that Jesus called on his disciples to turn the other cheek…to do something significantly counter-cultural. For those who are of other faith traditions, we can still all unite in some version of what Christians call the "Golden Rule"–to treat others as we ourselves want to be treated.
I can't imagine any of us who would want ourselves or our families to be picketed with the hateful signs…and so, can we find it in ourselves to be counter-cultural? I have not been directly and personally impacted by this group–but they have still touched me…when I think of how hurtful it would have been to see those signs at our grandson's funeral (a Marine who died on his 21st birthday)…or when I consider the hate directed toward my brother, my husband, my cousin–because they have different sexual orientations.
And yet…I cannot hate Fred Phelps and those who follow him. I pity them. I cannot imagine what life must be like for those who see only hate…who seem to find little joy in life.
That doesn't mean that I think they should be allowed to do anything they like. There have to be laws to protect those who are vulnerable. But there is a difference between providing those protections and answering back with "an eye for an eye"–that only lead a society where people continue to hurt each other until all are blind.
Can turning the other cheek make a difference? I don't know…but it has to be a better answer than giving hatred back.

Tetraonid line transect surveys from Norway: Data from Fjellstyrene
Latest version published by Norwegian Institute for Nature Research on Aug 13, 2019 Norwegian Institute for Nature Research
The dataset originates from a line transect survey program on the land managed by Fjellstyrene (Mountain boards) carried out from 2000- and onward. The surveys are part of a national program - Hønsefuglportalen (http://honsefugl.nina.no), operated in close collaboration among NINA (www.nina.no), Nord University (www.nord.no), Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences (www.inn.no) as well as landowners responsible for grouse management on their properties (state-owned land on Finnmarkseiendommen (FeFo), Statskog, and Fjellstyrene, as well as several private landowners). In general, NINA offers common e-infrastructure for data entry, data curation, management of users and communication from the project (http://honsefugl.nina.no). NINA together with the involved universities are offering advice regarding sampling design, and has developed a standard field protocol used by all participating stakeholders. The specific part of the program carried out on the land managed by Fjellstyrene is operated in collaboration between the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and each manager in Fjellstyrene, with clear and distinct allocation of tasks and responsibilities between the parties. Managers are responsible for conducting field work, as well as final decisions regarding allocation of transect lines among study areas. Surveys are carried out mainly by volunteer personnel instructed to follow standardized field protocols. Field work is carried out annually in August, with a team of two persons following pre-defined transect lines, using trained pointing dogs to search both sides of the transect line. When birds are observed, species, cluster size (separated into age- and sex classes), perpendicular distances from the transect line to the observed cluster of birds, GPS coordinates of the clusters and time of day are recorded. In addition, length (and geographical position) of the transect line is recorded, as well as some other auxiliary data.

Geographic Coverage
Cover land managed by Fjellstyrene (https://www.fjellstyrene.no/finn-fjellstyre) in Norway south of Nordland county.
|Bounding Coordinates
|South West [57.61, 4.395], North East [65.694, 15.117]
Taxonomic Coverage
This line transect program focus on tetraonid gamebirds (subfamiliy: Tetraoninae - family: Phasianidae), which in Norway include willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus), rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta), black grouse (Tetrao tetrix), capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) and hazel grouse (Bonasa bonasia). Not all species are found all of the areas where the line transect surveys in this program are performed. Most of the surveys target willow ptarmigan monitoring, which is also reflected in the spatial distribution of survey lines.
Temporal Coverage
|Formation Period
|2006-current. New data published within 2 years after collection
Project Data
These data are collected as part of an ongoing line transect survey program targeting tetraonids (gamebirds of subfamily Tetraoninae), in particular willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus). Hønsefuglportalen was launched in 2013 to 1) coordinate local and regional tetraonid line transect survey initiatives to ensure implementation of common field protocols, analytical approaches and study designs, 2) to provide common e-infrastructure for data management and curation, 3) serve as a meeting point for further improvements of the line transect survey program as well as to provide a common meeting place for researchers and natural resource managers. Currently, field protocols are standardized among all participants of the program, and the parties are working to ensure all field workers have gone through adequate training programs. However, Hønsefuglportalen is facilitating collaboration among local and regional programs and was not initially designed as national monitoring program for grouse species. Thus, both effort and study design (in terms of line length and placement) may vary among study sites and regions. In addition, this resulted in considerable changes in local and regional study designs across the monitoring period. In general, Hønsefuglportalen (and the associated activities) could be regarded a structured citizen science program, intermediate to an unstructured citizen science program and a regular monitoring program. The main motivation for establishing the local and regional line transect survey programs was to obtain updated information about trends in abundance, in relation to harvest management. Later, including data collection of other main drivers of tetraonid dynamics (such as small rodents) along the transect lines have expanded the range of ecological questions that could be addressed with these data. The data from the program has formed the basis of a range of student theses and scientific papers.
|Hønsefuglportalen: Common e-infrastructure, field protocols and coordination of tetraonid line transect sampling in Norway
|The program has been funded by several sources, following annual or multiyear contracts. In general, the landowners carry all the cost related to organization and actual performance of field work. In addition, the Environmental Agency of Norway (http://www.miljodirektoratet.no/en/) have supported the work through a series of contracts to NINA for the years 2012-2018. In addition, involved landowners are funding parts of the operating costs associated with running the infrastructure. Involved research institutions are using strategic funding to support the program.
|Study Area Description
|The project "Hønsefuglportalen" is covering relevant ecosystems across mainland Norway, and currently line transect surveys are carried out in 13 counties and more than 80 municipalities. Total effort recorded in 2018 was more than 8000km of line transect surveys, with more than 49.000 ptarmigans (willow and rock ptarmigan) and 2500 forest grouse (Capercaillie and Black grouse) recorded along the transect lines. Most of the surveys are carried out in willow ptarmigan habitat (i.e. sub-alpine birch forest habitat), but forest grouse and rock ptarmigan habitat are also surveyed to a lesser extent.
The personnel involved in the project:
Sampling Methods
In August each year, field work is carried out by volunteer personnel instructed to follow standardized field protocols. A team of two persons follow pre-defined transect lines, using trained pointing dogs to search both sides of the transect line. When birds are observed, species, cluster size (separated into age- and sex classes), perpendicular distances from the transect line to the observed cluster of birds, GPS coordinates and time of day is recorded. In addition, length (and position) of the transect line is recorded, as well as some other auxillary data.
|Study Extent
|Surveys are carried out annually in August, mainly in the period of 5th - 20th August. Specific locations of surveys have changed over the time period. A study site consist of a collection of two or more transect lines.
|Quality Control
|Since the establishment of the common e-infrastrucure Hønsefuglportalen in 2013, quality control has been included at several stages of the process. First, the data entry forms are designed such that impossible or unlikely values are not allowed, and all data fields must be completed. Second, for each study site, a local administrator is responsible for quality control just after the annual field work period in August. Last, participating research institutions conduct additional quality control when analyzing data for management or scientific purposes.

One of the greatest shooters and biggest winners in the history of the sport of basketball, Turkish Airlines EuroLeague all-time scoring king Juan Carlos Navarro, has taken the next step in his unprecedented career by retiring as an active player to take a front-office position at his boyhood club, FC Barcelona Lassa, where he spent 20 seasons as one of the most admired professional athletes anywhere.
Navarro will go down as the most decorated player to wear Barcelona's basketball jersey and one of the biggest stars of European basketball this century. He made his Barcelona debut at age 17, on November 23, 1997, and spent his entire career there, except for one season with Memphis of the NBA. He led Barcelona to its greatest heights as the only player present for both of the club's EuroLeague titles, in 2003 and 2010. Navarro was chosen as the 2010 Final Four MVP and the full-season MVP a year earlier, at the end of the 2008-09 season.
Navarro's list of achievements, both with Barcelona and the Spanish national team, is second to none in European basketball. In addition to winning two titles, he was chosen as the EuroLeague MVP in 2009, one of the record five times that he was voted to the All-EuroLeague First Team: in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. He was also a member of the EuroLeague's All-Decade team in 2010. Navarro was also chosen to the All-EuroLeague Second Team in 2012 and 2013. He helped Barcelona reach eight Final Fours.
Navarro leaves Barcelona as the EuroLeague's all-time leading scorer with 4,152 points. He ranks first in games played (341), three-point shots made (623) and performance index rating (3,890), third in fouls drawn (1,203) and free throws made (853), sixth in steals (249) and ninth in assists (834). Navarro was also chosen MVP of the month three times – in January 2006, April 2010 and January 2011. In his domestic competition, Navarro led Barcelona to eight Spanish League, seven Spanish Copa del Rey and five Spanish SuperCup titles. He also won the 1999 Korac Cup with Barcelona.
Navarro was equally successful with the Spanish national team, for whom he played a record 253 games and became one of four just basketball players to appear in five Olympic Games. He led Spain to the 2006 FIBA World Cup title and respective EuroBasket gold medals in 2009, 2011 and 2015. He was chosen as the EuroBasket 2011 MVP. He also won three Olympic medals – silvers at Beijing 2008 and London 2012, and bronze in Rio 2016 – and four more EuroBasket medals: silver in 2003 and 2007 and bronze in 2001 and 2017. Navarro won the 1998 U18 European Championships and the 1999 U19 World Championships with Spain, too.

Long distance trails – more hiking possibilities than anywhere else
The three main long distance hiking trails are the Westweg, a hiking trail in the western Black Forest, the Mittelweg trail in the central Black Forest and the Ostweg, a hiking trail in the eastern Black Forest.
They all run from north to south. In addition, there are 14 other long-distance trails in the holiday region. As lateral or high trails they make the mountain range accessible, while as wine trails they open up the foothills. The east of the region is served by the Gäurandweg trail. The youngest trail in this group is the Schluchtensteig, inaugurated in 2008 and running through gorges and canyons in the southern Black Forest. With its 118 kilometres, it connects the seven deepest and most spectacular canyons with wonderful panoramic views.
Whether you want to pass your time in a beautiful landscape, search for silence or solitude, or to hike gregariously with friends or your family – enjoy one of Germany's most beautiful holiday regions by exploring it on foot!
Themed hiking trails – what the forest has to tell
Is the Black Forest really black? Why are the trees in the swamps so small? Enter a world of experience by hiking. Would you like to reconstruct how the Black Forest farmers lived in the past centuries or get to know what the Hinterwälder cows are? Our regional theme hiking trails offer a great chance to explore the life of the Black Forest for both the younger and the older generation!
Relaxed hiking – your luggage is following you
The hiking trail network of the Black Forest is truly immense. Sixteen long-distance hiking trails pass through the idyllic and dramatic scenery of the peaks and valleys of the region. Eight north-south hiking trails are crossed by eight transverse trails. The experiences of these dream-like trails, that bring visitors so close to nature, are especially precious, whether hiked in partial sections, as a day tour without a backpack, or as a half-day short visit.

BASSMASTER CastingKids and Kids Klassic Among New Orleans Highlights
NEW ORLEANS, LA. < It will be a kid¹s world during the upcoming BASS Masters
Classic week when families from across America will descend on New Orleans
to enjoy the sport¹s biggest week-long celebration that leads up to the
crowning of the 2001Classic champion.
Forty-five of America¹s best bass anglers will be on the Louisiana Delta in
search of fishing fame and fortune, but their families and others from every
corner of the country will be enjoying all that the Big Easy has to offer.
And there will be plenty for youngsters to do.
On Wednesday, Aug. 1, from 8 a.m. to noon, New Orleans area youngsters will
have a chance to meet the Classic pros and participate in their own fun
contest. The Kids Klassic, which is presented by B.A.S.S., will be held at
LaFreniere Park where as many as 1,000 youngsters will be divided into two
age groups (7 to 10 and 11 to 14). Each registered kid will receive a free
Zebco rod and reel and a special cap and T-shirt.
"With incredible support from our Louisiana B.A.S.S. Federation members, we
will be able to conduct the Kids Klassic like never before," said Al Smith,
B.A.S.S. Federation Director. "It¹s a wonderful opportunity to introduce
area youngsters to fishing and enhance the skills of kids who already
Volunteers from area and state affiliated B.A.S.S. clubs, as well as
visiting federation presidents , will be stationed around the lake to assist
and instruct the youngsters. Using live worms, the kids will fish for one
hour. Each time a child catches a fish, he or she will receive a special
Children need to be pre-registered for the Kids Klassic. On-site
registration will be taken on a limited basis.
The pros enjoy getting to meet the youngsters and sign autographs each year
at the Kids Klassic.
"I get a kick out of the kids," three-time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year Kevin
VanDam said. "That¹s what it¹s all about. They are the future of our whole
In addition to the pros, the youngsters will have their own pint-sized
heroes to cheer for during the BASSMASTER CastingKids National Finals. The
crowning event of a year-long national competition, Chevy Trucks will
sponsor the CastingKids finals on Friday, Aug. 3, at 1 p.m. in the Ernest
N. Morial Convention Center just before the day¹s weigh-in begins.
Ten finalists have emerged from nearly 150,000 youngsters who competed at
BASSMASTER tournaments and other events this year. Divided into two age
groups, they will be competing for scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000.
In the 7 to 10 age group, the finalists are Nick Anderson of Sparta, Wisc.;
Dylan Schaefer of St. Mary¹s, Ga.; Jessica Digman of Sykesville, Md.; Steven
Nodine of Carlsbad, N.M.; and Ory Schuman of Lincoln, Neb.
The 11 to 14 age group will be represented by: Randy Helms of Stillwater,
Minn.; Frederick Phillips of St. Paul¹s, N.C.; Jon Laukhuff of Beech, Pa.;
Andy Whilden of Craig, Colo.; and Dustin Plunkett of Lawton, Okla.
"CastingKids, which is the creation of longtime B.A.S.S. leader Helen
Sevier, has been an incredible success that not only reinforces the skills
necessary to be a better angler, but with support from great sponsors like
Chevy Trucks, we have been able to distribute over $2 million in prizes and
scholarship money to well over 1.2 million kids who have taken part in the
program," Smith said.
The 31st BASS Masters Classic will air on Saturday August 18, 2001 at 9:00PM

Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota clash in a preseason meeting between their Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans, respectively. The top two quarterback prospects of the 2015 NFL Draft have had two different career paths so far with Winston having prolific stats versus Mariota's better record.
Finishing with similar records in 2017, the Titans appear to be in much better shape than the Buccaneers heading into 2018. Tennessee is coming off a playoff appearance while Tampa Bay suffered their worst season in the Winston era. Despite the disparate records, this game should still be competitive.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Just when the Buccanneers appeared to be headed the right direction, they crashed and were stranded with yet another pathetic season. The team finished last on defence as Winston and the Bucs offence played much worse than their potential.
Dirk Koetter is under tremendous pressure to steer the ship back. General manager Jason Licht upgraded the defence and added pieces to the o-line. It's an uphill climb but the Bucs aren't hopeless.
Tennessee Titans
While the Buccaneers are coming apart, the Titans are coming together. They returned to the playoffs last season snapping their eight-season drought and even upset Kansas City before bowing out to the Patriots in the Divisional round.
They did all that despite injuries to quarterback Marcus Mariota, who statistically had his worst season throwing more picks than touchdowns. But with a coaching change and upgrades across the team, expect the Titans to make a big leap in 2018.
Game Snippet
Beyond the quarterback storyline, the Titans are better-equipped to handle the Bucs on paper. They have a slightly better defence and offence but are still adjusting to a new coaching staff. The Bucs will exploit this and win this game.

- Published: 28 August 2017
SPRINGFIELD – Cuts to the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) under Governor Bruce Rauner two years ago decimated the once hailed program that helps low-income families afford the every-increasing cost of child care. While some of the governor's cuts were restored within a few months, thousands of families remained ineligible.
A new law sponsored by State Senator Toi Hutchinson (D – Chicago Heights) and signed into law on Friday restores access to child care services for families whose parents are enrolled in education or training programs.
"There are thousands of parents across Illinois who are striving to achieve a better life for themselves and their children," Hutchinson said. "Why would the state stand in the way of those families? For many, access to affordable child care can make the difference between having the ability of going back to school or obtaining training, both of which are vital to increasing earnings potential and lifting families out of poverty."

is one of the most deeply cool bands I've ever seen.

If one had to describe this film in one sentence they'd probably say something to the effect of "It was very colorful," and indeed, it was very colorful. From a visual standpoint of course, plot wise, it's a bit bland and dull.
Speed is this guy who for all intents and purposes is an idiot with a huge brother-complex. You see, his brother Rex, is a badass racer, or was until he met his seemingly tragic demise. But what Speed lacks in everything, he makes up for in racing skillz. And he's quite the talented racer. And it helps to have souped up cars.
Speed believes in racing and that it comes for the heart, which leads him to refuse a ludicrous corporate sponsorship offer from Royalton. Accourding to this Royalton fella racing is about who has the biggest sponsor and actual racing ability plays an insignificant role to as who wins the race. Naturally our protagonist is totally against this and seeks to disprove him.
Joining him in this perilous endeavor is Speed's family and long time girlfriend since childhood, Trixie. One thing I liked in this film was that the love story was not an important part in the character development. They showed a small flashback from their childhood and bam they were an inseparable couple and we don't have to worry about that anymore and Speed seems to single-minded to notice any other girl anyway. Oh and there's a chimpanzee, I'm not quite sure why but there is. There's also Racer X, who is TOTALLY NOT REX, and his agenda is to expose the evil corporate conspiracies surrounding the races. Somehow second rate ninjas are involved and just about everyone knows some martial arts or something, except the mechanic with the funny accent.
And somehow there's this Japanese pop star, err, racer who's motivated because of his father's company or something. He's not really a pop star but I half expected him to jump into a song since he kinda looks like the type. But my observations were not that far off seeing as the actor himself is a Korean pop star of sorts. Anyway, I think he played an important part in the film because he kept popping up alot, but I couldn't really tell whether or not he had an important role. I'm still trying to figure out the whole chimp thing.
The film had this strange way of transitioning scenes and stuff where they'd show someone's head and they'd move around the head and the background would change. It was pretty neat the first few times but then it just got old and annoying. And there was alot of talking that may or may not have been advancing the plot but I felt it could have been cut out in lieu of more action scenes.
Thankfully the action scenes were pretty neat and cool to look at, even if I couldn't tell what was happening half the time. The plot just seemed like a big excuse to have cool looking action scenes and the action scenes themselves were too trippy looking to actually figure out what is going on. But if one is intoxicated perhaps it'd make more sense.
The music was fairly enjoyable. Every now and then the original theme from the cartoon would surface and it was all fairly catchy. Perhaps it needed a bit more eurobeat or something.
It wasn't trying too hard to remain faithful to the original anime (actually I have no idea since I haven't watched it) but it wasn't trying to get rid of the corniness. Alot of anime of this period was indeed marketed at an younger audience and they had an obligatory annoying kid character, supposedly it was so the younger audience can connect better to the show. While I may not have watched the original anime I'm guessing this aspect carried on to the film and the childish antics really didn't appeal for me but maybe a younger audience might dig it if they aren't bored because of its length (I sure wasn't but I may be the most immature of them all).
It's not trying to be an amazing film but with the lame plot, funky colors, and cool confusing action scenes, hey, it's slightly worth it for the cheesiness of it all. I was expecting a little more but I figure it could have been worse. At least it was pretty looking and its kinda funny seeing snakes in a car and the defiance of the rules of gravity.
And yeah, Racer X is totally not Rex his older brother.

April 6: The Indian Air Force (IAF) is amongst the most powerful forces of the world, still there are shortages of fighter jets in the IAF. The Indian Air Force has current strength of 34 fight squadrons against the authorised strength of 42 squadrons. The problem doesn't end here, out of 34 fighter squadrons, we have 17 fighter squadrons of MIGs which will retire soon over the period of time. According to the report published by Institute of Defence Studies and Analyses in November 2017, six squadrons of MiG 21 and two squadrons of MIG 27 will get retired by 2025, whereas one squadron of jaguar fighter jet is due to retire by 2027. The IAF will get three squadrons of Sukhoi MKI-30, two Rafale squadrons and two squadrons of Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas. The Indian Air Force will have shortage of 12 fighter squadrons.
According to the report printed in DNA, by 2032 the IAF will have only 300 fighter Jets as all the MIG squadron will be retired. The Indian Air Force has ordered 40 LCA Tejas but only five have been delivered so far. According to the report published in Hindustan Times, The IAF is working towards inducting around 400 warplanes by 2030 to tackle combined threat from China and Pakistan.
To fulfill short requirement the IAF needs 100 single engine fighter jets. As per the report published in India Today, the IAF will initiate RS 1.25 Lakh Crore deal to procure 100 fighter jets. Lockheed Martin's F-16 block 70 and SAAB's Gripen are the two finalist in the race to get deal worth $15 billion. United States is ready to transfer production line of F-16 block 70 to India, which will make India the exporter of this fighter jet, where SAAB's Gripen is ready to transfer technology. The Defence Ministry has asked Hindustan Aeronautical (HAL) to increase the production of indigenous LCA Tejas. It has been 35 years since Tejas was proposed but still it could not meet IAF's requirement.
Now the Indian government wants IAF to also consider Boeing's F-18 for procurement. Referring to a source in Defence ministry Reuters published a report that the Indian Government has asked the Indian Air Force to open up the competition to twin-engine aircraft and to evaluate Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet. US is pressing India to buy F-16 Block 70 or F-18.
As per economic times, Joe Felter Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for South and Southeast Asia said that A positive decision by India could be a precursor to advanced fighter technology the fifth generation. Felter further added that Trump administration would like a closer co-operation with India on fighter jets.
If we study the recent defence budget only Rs 2.95 Crore is allocated for Defence forces which forms only 1.58% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Only 99, 563 Crore is allocate for capital expenditure for the mordernisation, whereas Rs 1,95,947.55 for revenue expenditure.


text: We have decided to do a weekly book review at The Well Rounded Chid. It may be a book we have read, our child has read or a book we are using to enhance our child's education. We hope to direct you to reading material worth reading. The first book up is one I randomly checked out of the library. We use Apologia for our science curriculum and we are currently reviewing dinosaurs. Since this is such a large and fascinating topic for kids I thought we would dig deeper beyond our curriculum. Lightning, of course, was elated. When she was about 4 years old I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up….a dinosaur was her reply. I checked out of the library about 10 books on dinosaurs, but the one that we enjoyed the most was The Story of Life on Earth by Margaret Munro. The illustrations are simplistic, but descriptive, with good use of color. The information in the book is clear and concise offering a summary of each period defined. The book is 62 pages with a summary of each era on the last 2 pages. I thought this book was a great introduction to the theory of evolution without inundating you with scientific beliefs. My 7 year old enjoyed the book and pictures. I think any age would benefit from this book. Obviously the older the child the more in depth you could get with the information in the book. I had my daughter draw pictures of the "beings" that allegedly existed during each era. I attached her pictures below (she hasn't added her color yet). For older children I would delve into the scientific basis for the various ice ages and the effects on life forms. I must be fair and tell you we are also reading Ken Ham's Dinosaur for Kids, which "Lightning" is really enjoying. (I will post a review of that book next week.) I believe, regardless of our beliefs, you need to teach all information and then direct your child in what your beliefs are to give them a good basis for forming their own thoughts. So far Ken Ham has done a good job in comparing biblical and scientific beliefs. My daughter has formed her own beliefs, which fortunately are the same as ours, with all the information provided to her in all the material we have been covering. Of course we have let her know our beliefs, but it was wonderful to watch her listen and question how certain things happened and watch her own beliefs form.

The Broadberry Presents
Future Thieves, Crouse
Don Fredrick
Richmond Music Hall (at Capital Ale House)
623 E Main Street
Richmond, VA, 23219
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
Midway through recording their exhilarating new self-titled album, Nashville indie rockers Future Thieves left the studio and hit the road. It was difficult to walk away from the undeniable stride they'd hit, but the band had nearly two months of shows in Europe followed by a lengthy string of US dates on their calendar, and that meant completing the record would simply have to wait. Far from derailing the group's progress, though, the road actually brought fresh perspective, with each performance revealing new depths and dimension to the music. The material had the unique opportunity to live and breathe and grow onstage every night, undergoing sometimes radical evolutions in instrumentation and arrangement as the tour progressed. By the time Future Thieves returned to the studio, the songs were battle-tested and sturdier than ever, and the resulting album is a remarkable showcase of growth and maturity from a band poised for a major breakout.
"Taking the new songs on the road gave us a much better feel for how to finish them when we got home," reflects singer/guitarist Elliot Collett. "We didn't exactly do it that way on purpose, but it turned out to be the best way to develop the music because we could see what translated with audiences, what felt essential, and where the songs really wanted to go."
The lengthy process behind the Future Thieves' new release is a far cry from their most recent record, a live-in-the-studio album captured entirely in an hour. Comprised largely of material from the band's critically acclaimed 2015 debut, 'Horizon Line,' 'Live at Blue Rock' garnered praise everywhere from Conan O'Brien's Team Coco to Guitar World, which hailed it as a "collection of turbo-charged Americana tunes." Relix similarly raved that the album "captures the quartet's spirit and intensity," while The Tennessean simply lauded the band as "incredible." They followed it up in 2017 with "Sucker," an infectious single that earned love from Billboard, who highlighted the band's newfound "infusion of...electro-pop grooves," and Jimmy Fallon, who premiered the official video on The Tonight Show's Tumblr. The group's searing live show, meanwhile, helped them notch festival appearances from Bonnaroo to Summerfest and prompted Live Nation to name them to their Ones To Watch series.
When it came time to write their sophomore album, Future Thieves continued down the road they'd begun exploring with "Sucker," further pushing their songwriting into bold and adventurous new directions. Ethereal synthesizers, vintage drum machines, and shimmering guitars introduced threads of pop and electronic music into the band's organic sensibilities, generating dreamy soundscapes and hypnotic grooves as the foursome crafted their most expansive and collaborative work yet.
"'Horizon Line' represented the first songs we ever wrote together, and it all happened very spontaneously," explains guitarist Austin McCool. "This time around, we wanted to take a more methodical and premeditated approach. We wanted to explore different sounds and experiment with different palettes, and I think our writing sessions were a lot more focused because of that."
For those writing sessions, the band (Collett, McCool, bassist Nick Goss, and drummer Gianni Gibson) left Nashville and relocated to a small lakeside cabin in central Tennessee. Over the course of two separate weeklong trips, they generated a slew of new ideas, writing and refining and demoing day and night. Producer Alex Jarvis joined the group on these retreats, offering early input and helping shape the raw material as it flowed out of them.
"Everything started in a single room in that cabin," says Collett. "We had all our gear set up in there, and we'd just get up every morning and start throwing out riffs and melodies and moods to try and get inspired. It was super collaborative."
The band's next destination was Texas, where, after a stop at SXSW, they set up camp for two weeks at El Paso's famed Sonic Ranch, a massive recording complex that's hosted everyone from Portugal. The Man and Beach House to TV On The Radio and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. There, the group followed their muse and laid down the album's infrastructure, letting the songs dictate an ever-changing approach to recording.
"Every day was completely different down there," says McCool. "Sometimes we'd start with bass and drums, other times with synths or guitars. Even the weather could change our approach. When it was nice out, there was an abandoned water tower on the property we could record inside."
From El Paso, the band hit the road for Europe and beyond, eventually returning home to Nashville to finish the album utilizing the newfound insight they'd gained from tour. The finished product is absorbing and arresting, the kind of record that immediately draws you into its own uniquely immersive world. Album opener "Online" sets the stage perfectly, swelling from an eerie synth bed into a soaring Pink Floyd-esque vision of a digital dystopia. Our ambivalent relationship with technology (and the divisions it fosters in our relationships with each other) is a recurring theme on the record, one tackled eloquently on the razor-sharp "Machines," which finds Collett singing, "Oh the machines they come and go / Just stick to your heart and what you know."
"There's a fine line you can cross were you get too caught up in technology, where you're spending your life stuck inside your phone and missing out on all these amazing things going on around you," he explains. "But at the same time, we're recognizing that we're recording this song with synthesizers and computers and using all these digital tools. It's a testament to trying to find balance in your life."
Balance (of light and dark, hope and disappointment, future and past) is the ultimate goal of a number of tracks on the album, from the angular "On The Run," which wrestles with indecision and regret, to the chiming "Dark Spin," which swims in a churning sea of memories unleashed by running into an ex. Collett's lyrics often grapple with growing up and accepting that nothing lasts forever, but there's an indefatigable optimism to songs like the bright and splashy "Prom Night," an effervescent tale of two lovers committing to each other despite all the outside forces pushing them apart. The wistful "Same Things" exhorts us to make the most of the time we have with our loved ones, while the pulse-pounding "Drive" sees parenthood
as a chance to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and the silky "Over" makes the case for passing on what you've learned before it's too late.
"All these songs were written to motivate people, to get them on the same page," says Collett. "We wanted to remind them that there are always other people out there that feel the same way they do."
In that sense, this is an album that's ultimately about connection in an increasingly disconnected world, about the lessons and the moments we can share that no machine can ever replicate. Future Thieves are ready to hit the road again, and while they'll certainly have their synthesizers and electronics in tow, they'll be bringing a batch of songs aimed straight for your heart, human to human.

A very special friend of mine is having a birthday in April, so I decided to try out the new Sizzix pop-up cake die that I got from Stampin' Up! The above picture is of the front of the card.
Here is the inside of the card with the pop-up birthday cake! What a fun new way to spice up a card for someone special.

Buenas Dias out there! I hope you all have or will wake up as blessed as I am again today. I posted a song before this post where in it a man does a James Taylor cover. He incorporates a little bit of his life into it. Boss as fuck! I am jealous I didn't think of this, But, as I have quoted another before as saying, " there is no such thing as style but only, so to speak, a difference between various texts".
His story and mine are not that different though, the struggle is real. I have a million songs I know I could do this with and just may someday when the creativity hits. Some of you may not like this sort of music but I beg of you to check it out. The title though, huh? Worst case. It can come into play in almost every scenario I encounter in my life. It all comes back to my view through my lens of perception at the very second. That is why it is so important to me to remain humble, positive, and open minded no matter what. To try and focus on what I am blessed to have and not what I do not or what others have or are doing. Stay in my lane if you will. I am human though and I do make mistakes.
And well sometimes Life only gives me shit fucking cards to play though. So, deal with the worst case scenario I must. I also have a tendency to make mountains out of mole hills, no wait, mountains from a simple grain of sand! It is not always life or death, though it does feel like it at times. Sit still and breath Blackwell! Fire and rain huh? Maybe it should be, Fire away with the Reign! I am Jay and I am an addict. I have found that new way to live and I fucking love it! To those of you out there in the grip, I pray. Let me in or let me down! God bless and stay up. I love you and you matter to me!

FROSTBURG, Md. - The Salisbury University men's basketball team went on the road for an 81-44 victory over Frostburg State University in Capital Athletic Conference action on Saturday.
The Sea Gulls opened the game on a 10-4 run, with three-pointers coming on their first-two possessions. Senior Conor Strickland hit from the right wing for the game's first points, and after a Bobcat score, sophomore Justin Witmer gave SU a 6-2 lead from the left wing.
Junior Wyatt Smith scored on a hook shot in the paint, before Witmer hit two free throws to cap the run and give Salisbury a six-point lead in the first three minutes of the contest.
Frostburg cut the lead to 10-8 at the 15:11 mark, but over the next six minutes and 17 seconds, the Gulls increased their lead to double digits with a 9-0 run.
Strickland hit from three again, this time from the left wing, before junior Adrien Straughn and Witmer drained long-distance shots from the right wing to make the score 19-8.
A 5-2 stretch in favor of FSU got the SU lead back down to single digits, but another 9-0 spurt for the Gulls built a 30-13 advantage with 5:30 left in the first half.
After a Salisbury timeout, Straughn hit from the top of the key for his second three. Junior Kyle Savercool drained a long-range shot from the right wing on SU's next possession, and after a Straughn steal to regain possession for the Gulls, freshman Gordon Jeter pulled down two offensive rebounds and eventually found junior Rocky Harris on the left wing to cap the run with his first three.
The Sea Gulls held their double-digit lead for the rest of the first half, and Witmer and Strickland both added another score to give SU a 36-20 advantage at the break. Witmer paced the team with 10 points in the first half, while Salisbury led the rebounding 22-14 and was shooting 61.5 percent from behind the arc.
Harris opened the second half with a three, as the Gulls continued to stay hot offensively, opening the half on a 19-2 run in the first six minutes.
Jeter scored four-straight points after a Bobcat score, and Smith followed with a hook shot on the right block. Witmer and Straughn added three-pointers during the run, and freshman Jordan Brooks capped the stretch with a fast-break put-back layup to push Salisbury's lead to 55-22.
The Sea Gulls continued to build their lead, increasing it to as large as 43 points after a Jeter free throw at the 7:04 mark for a 72-29 advantage, before going on for their fifth CAC victory of the season.
Witmer and Harris both scored 13 points to lead the team, while 11 Gulls put up points in the contest. Jeter and Smith led the team with seven rebounds, each, and Strickland tallied a team-best six assists. Salisbury shot 56 percent from three and 52.7 percent from the floor in the game.
Salisbury returns home for its next game on Wednesday, January 21, as the Sea Gulls host CAC-foe Wesley College at Maggs Physical Activities Center; the opening tip is set for 7:30 p.m.

As a London chiropractor, I often see patients suffering from back pain, shoulder pain or neck pain who work in offices, and a part of my treatment is advising these patients on good ergonomics and seated posture.
Something we tend to neglect and perhaps spend even more time doing is sleeping… It would be remiss of me not to advise patients on their sleeping position for this very reason. Our spines are subjected to a lot of stress and strain every day and it makes sense to give them a rest as well when sleeping. The goals are to get the spine in the most neutral position which eliminates shear or torsion forces and this will in turn improve blood flow and boost healing.
The two best sleeping positions in my opinion are…
1. Lying on your side with a pillow for your head and a pillow between your knees. Your head should be in as neutral a position as possible and not tilted significantly down or up. Both knees should be bent to about 30° and the pillow in between them will prevent any twisting of the pelvis or lower back.
2. Lying on your back with a pillow underneath your head and a pillow underneath your knees. again the head should be in a fairly neutral position and the pillow underneath the knees this time will prevent overextension of your lower back and take the pressure off this area.
These changes can take some time to be accepted if you've been used to sleeping in a different position. I've had patients tell me that the knee pillow finds its way on to the floor, at least in the beginning. Stick with it though and these changes can only help.
I hope this helps you understand the ideal sleeping position and how important it is in the chiropractic treatment of back pain.

I am a typical Shiba. I am a little over sixteen inches tall, I weigh about 29 pounds, and I shed.
I also suffer from the Shiba condition known as "Selective Hearing."
The People find this mildly amusing. They can be somewhere in the house, and call my name. I will remain in my spot. My name can be called three, four, five times, and I will not answer. I am not something that can be summoned for your amusement.
Open the cheese drawer of the refrigerator, however, and I will be proudly sitting at your feet before you turn around.
Because I suffer from this well-known Shiba condition, I am not allowed off leash when The Woman and I take our daily constitutions. While I find this confining and frustrating when the squirrels are just so close, The Woman believes that it will keep me from injuring myself in the next county as I pursue squirrels from tree to tree.
So we were walking in the woods. Ahead of The Woman and I, was a man with two German Shepherds. Both dogs were loose and sniffing around the trail, moving back and forth. We kept a safe distance back although I did find them intriguing and I was concerned that they might damage my property, when we witnessed something rather disturbing.
The Man With The Shepherds started to call in his dogs. They did not respond, but rather continued to sniff and investigate. He proceeded to call them several more times, and they refused to respond. He then caught one of the dogs, and hit it on the head, calling it a bad dog. This happened several more times on the walk, before he finally yelled at both of them, and stated loudly, "okay you both have lost your freedom" and he immediately leashed the two girls.
Freedom? That is Freedom? To be yelled at and scolded for enjoying oneself in the woods? To be hit in the head when called? To be mauled when a response to a vocal command is not immediate?
We caught up to them about half way through the trail, where The Man With The Two Shepherds was sitting on a bench. The Woman greeted him, and continued to pass by when one Shepherd started to pull and bark at me. The Woman reminded me to be good, and continued walking when one of the Shepherds turned and attacked the other Shepherd, biting it so hard on the ear that it drew blood. The Man With The Two Shepherds started to hit and kicked the more aggressive Shepherd when The Woman and I noticed that the second Shepherd could not escape- she was leashed on a dual leash so as This Man was punishing the first Shepherd, the second was attached and being dragged along as well.
The Woman at this point yelled to This Man, "Do you need any help?" which distracted him away from "his girls" as he called them later in conversation. They shared conversation for about five minutes, where This Man explained that he wants to give "his girls" their freedom, but they just don't come when they are called. The Woman listened and explained that she has excellent results being trained by a woman with a particular agency, and she could give him the name and number if he was interested. This Man stated that he would just return to using the shock collars; that seemed to work best with "his girls."
The whole time this conversation took place, "his girls" were looking at me like I was lunchmeat.
I was very relieved when The Woman ended the conversation and continued our walk. The whole time, she spoke softly to me, telling me that I was a good boy. As we got into the car, she gave me a big hug and again, reminded me what a good boy I was.
At home, The Woman told the Man what she saw and The Man also told me that I was a good boy. Both of them were very angry at this man. Me? I just feel sorry for "his girls." Even when I was destroying the bathmat or tried to take the present from under the Christmas Tree, I merely heard my name associated with a particular tone of voice, and I knew it was time to cease and desist. The harshest command I get is "Leave it!" and while I will never know the freedom of running loose in the woods, at least I don't worry about what will happen if I jump on the bed because I am excited or bark because I hear the neighbors playing basketball.
I know what Freedom is.
I Am Shiba. Freedom Is Not Living in Fear.

Now you can stop your scratching your head because you dont understand funded proposals even if you've tried everything before! I easily put an end to my lack of knowledge about this tool -- and started enjoying coverting prospects into buyers -- and i'll show you how you can, too!
Are you sick to death of living with the fact that all the successful marketers are using funded proposals yet you know nothing about it?
Are you annoyed by the hours and hours you put in trying to win people over... frustrated by the laclluster information youve been able to find on the subject... and just about DONE with the whole mess?
Then what you're about to hear will be music to your ears...
Because I'm about to show you how to put an END to being confused by this topic once and for all, and enjoy the pleased prospects, better conversions, and a more successful business that you get as a result.
And trust me, I know exactly how... because I've already done it!
If You're Still Struggling With Understanding How To Have Better Conversions,
You Need To Read This Page Carefully!
I put an END to the frustration caused by low conversions, and now I'm enjoying a booming business, free of all the sleepless nights of worry!.
But let me back up a step...
It wasn't that long ago that I was confused about funded proposals and how to use this tool like other very successful marketers do and it was becoming a worry that was a part of my daily life.
Funded proposals are basically the platform where good introductory products are offered at a very low price to potential prospective clients with the intention of further enticing or encouraging them to commit to making a more impactful purchase or commitment to the business.
BUT, that was really all I knew... I didn't have the info I needed to really make a go of it.

Clocky - The Alarm Clock that Runs Away and Hides (LOL i love this)
Clocky gives you ONE chance to get up. If you choose to snooze, believe it or not, Clocky will jump right off your night table (up to 3 feet) and wheel around your bedroom looking for a place - far away from your bed- to hide, beeping all the while, before sounding his alarm again. And, yes, you WILL have to get out of bed to silence his alarm.
The snooze time can be set from 0-9 minutes, so if you set it at "0" Clocky immediately "runs" away. If you want Clocky to be just like every other alarm clock on the block, and stay put on your night table, simply disable his wheels. Moves on wood or carpet.

New Delhi [India], Mar. 04 (ANI): The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Sunday sanctioned the prosecution of jeweller Nirav Modi and his three firms in connection with billion dollar Punjab National Bank fraud case.
The decision was taken as per the guidelines of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) on the prosecution of persons in duty evasion cases.
Modi will be prosecuted for misdeclaration of value and quantity of the imported Cut and Polished Diamonds, Pearls to Customs and diversion of the Duty Exempted goods to the domestic tariff area clandestinely.
He will also be questioned for the falsification of documentation and submission of the same to Customs.
Furthermore, he will be prosecuted for violation of the rules of "authorised operations" of the special economic zones (SEZ) and causing loss of Customs Duty to the government.
Modi and his three firms Firestar Diamond International, Firestar International Private Limited, and Radhashir Jewellery Company Limited have been found to be fit to be prosecuted under Sections 132, 135(1)(a), 135(1)(b), 135(1)(i) of Customs Act, 1962 and Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860.
If convicted, the quantum of punishment as per Section 135 (i) (D) of the Customs Act, 1962 for Modi will be up to seven years.
The trial in the said case is expected to be launched shortly.
The PNB detected a 1.77 billion dollar scam in which Modi acquired fraudulent letters of undertaking from one of its branches for overseas credit from other Indian lenders.
The scam was started in 2011 and was detected in the third week of January this year, after which the PNB officials reported it to the concerned agencies. (ANI)

Donate your unwanted clothes to help firefighters charity
PUBLISHED: 12:52 31 December 2013 | UPDATED: 12:52 31 December 2013
Firefighters across East Cambridgeshire are calling on the public to donate their unwanted clothing and textiles.
More than 20 stations across the county, and four stations in East Cambs are competing to collect as much unwanted clothing as possible in the month of January to raise funds for The Fire Fighters Charity.
East Cambs stations taking part include Ely, Soham, Littleport and Burwell.
The teams are all hoping to be crowned top of the charity's UK textile recycling league, which is a national competition among fire stations based on the quantity of textiles collected throughout January.
Last year, Fenland fire station Chatteris collected the third highest total in the country, with other Cambridgeshire stations fairing well in the top 20.
For every tonne gathered at the recycling banks The Fire Fighters Charity receives £220, and since being launched, the scheme has raised £1 million nationwide.
Kevin Biles, from the charity, said: "If the people of Cambridgeshire could take a look in their wardrobes and see if they have any clothes, shoes or handbags they don't want, now would be a great time to donate. It doesn't matter what state the clothing is in as it will all be recycled.
"This is a great scheme because it is of no cost to the charity and every penny raised from generous donations by the public goes towards the valuable work we do, including to support our three rehabilitation centres."
