90-year-old man tied up, threatened, robbed by intruder
Car, cash stolen from home
Authorities are looking for a stolen car in Miami Township.
Hamilton County dispatchers said a man reported being confronted at knifepoint in the 5000 block of Zion Road at about 8:30 a.m.
"He just said he was homeless," the victim told a 911 dispatcher. "He said he didn't like what he was doing so I said, 'Why don't you quit' and he said 'I can't.'"
Deputies said a white man in his 20s gained access to the home, brandished a knife and demanded money and other valuables.
The victim said the man came to his door and asked for something to drink, but when his back was turned, the man pulled a knife with a 6 inch blade.
"He actually walked in," the victim said. "Then he pulled the knife and said, 'Don't do anything foolish.'"
The robber cut the phone lines then used them to tie the victim to his bed.
The intruder made off with some money then demanded the keys to the victim's car. The thief took off in the victim's grey Buick.
The victim was able to slip the knots and escape to a neighbor's home to call 911.
"Just a very nice neighbor. We've been neighbors for 30 years," said Jack Berninger. "He's just a great guy."
"He's a very good Christian man. He's very caring," said Ruth Green, who has known the victim for decades.
The victim is well known for his work with Habitat for Humanity. He's built dozens of homes and, even at an advanced age, still works for the organization.
"Since he's 90 years old, he does all the ordering and the figure work," Green said.
The victim said he's been robbed at least three other times, but in the other cases, he wasn't home.
Knowing someone is preying on people in the neighborhood, especially someone like the victim is upsetting for those who live nearby.
"It makes you very angry," said Mary Self, who lives a few doors down. "They're desperate, they're bold, they don't care, I guess."
The victim said he was shaken but is feeling alright.
Police are looking his grey 1998 Buick Lesabre with Ohio license plate # CEV7284.
The suspect was wearing dark pants and a dark hooded sweatshirt and had a goatee. He was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed about 175 pounds, deputies said.
The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Hamilton County Sheriff's Criminal Investigation Section at 513-851-6000 or CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.

Put Call Ratio and other oscillators update today. The Emini closed down 4.75 points at 1327.25. However, this understates the strength of the late day rally. Volume was also the largest in the last 17 days at 2.8 million contracts traded.
Looks like the professionals are accumulating but I don't think we're going to rally straight away. I'm still waiting for an "end of trend" move in the 27 and 45 minute time frames (ie. final push down). With that in mind the chart below might be interesting.
Put Call Ratio etc. (Emini daily)
The Put Call Ratio and other oscillators are all approaching over-sold levels. However, they are yet to turn up. The Put Call Ratio oscillator is labeled "Better PCR Osc" in the chart above. The other oscillators are the TRIN, Smart Money Index and Hilbert Sine Wave.
You can read more about the Put Call Ratio here. Good luck with your Emini trading.

In the Watering History section, there are two different icons to the left of the watering explanation. One is gray and looks like a clock and the other is blue with a white drop of water? What the heck do they mean?
Grey clock is the completion of a zone or schedule. Blue with a white drop of water symbolizes a skip event.
This should help identify the icons

"The greatest part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances." ~ Martha Washington 1731
Living a positive life in a world where we are constantly bombarded with a plethora of negative things, can be very challenging. Some days can be more difficult than others, but for the most part staying in that zone where you see the positive aspect in every area of your life, it is not always easy.
As I am writing this post, my mind is still trying to adjust to the new increased spending that has come to my pocket book like a shooting missile as a result of a major hit and 'run' accident on my car three weeks ago today. As of now no one has come forward and so the perpetrator is still unknown.
After two and a half weeks of chasing behind the car dealer and repair shops, I finally got the first estimate to repair the damages to my car at a cost of $1650. My insurance deductible pay is $500.
The hole in my pocket book just got deeper. It's not the way I had planned it – because the day the accident took place was really the start of my long awaited vacation with plans to travel. So there it is, my vacation plans got 'screwed.' In addition to my car accident, there are some other unplanned situations I'm dealing with that involves spending.
Situations like these it is very quick to turn sour and even wish hurt back on the other person but in spite of the way my life is right now, or yours for whatever your reason may be, I know that choosing to be brave, keeping your mind free of negative thoughts and continuing to do everything that is possible to lead a happy, fulfilling and positive life is still the right thing to do.
I could have thrown a pity party but what good thing would it do? I am standing strong because I've taken the necessary steps that's made it much easier to see the good in life.
Here's a list of things that you must strive to master in order to live a positive life:
- Keeping positive attitude and feelings
You've got to constantly tell yourself that keeping a positive attitude is not an option or an alternative for you, it is a choice! This one I know wasn't always easy for me. And in 20/20 hindsight, I admit that there was a time in my life that I had a bad attitude. I was negative about most things.
I was careful however, not to hold much conversation about my negative thoughts or feelings but would entertain them in my mind for long periods of time. My wake-up call came one day when I suddenly realized that much of my unhappiness and sometime misery was as a result of me consistently entertaining negative thoughts.
This text from Romans 12:1-2 is what really transformed me:
"Therefore, I urge you, brethren and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. V2. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Now any bad situation that I find myself in, I know that it is up to me to find the good and be positive and to be positive regardless of what is happening.
The day of my car accident, I was pulled into three different directions – have an angry outburst, to cry or to pray. I conceded in the end to praying about it. I realize that everything happens for a reason and it is up to me to choose my attitude towards the situation.
Action step –
Set aside time each day to work on developing a positive attitude and mindset through reading self-help books, especially the word of God. Stop saying 'it is what it is' and start believing in yourself.
- Getting rid negativity from your life
We have heard this one so many times before but if you want to live a happy, healthy positive life you have to rid yourself of negativity [influences, environment, surroundings] and this too include moving away from the people who rather than encourage happiness, spurt negativity like an ongoing open water faucet.
We can all agree that no one is perfect and as painful an experience it would be, there comes a time when you will have to draw the line and move towards cultivating a positive lifestyle and building strong, healthy positive relationships.
Achieving your lifelong goal of a positive life also means working on getting rid of unhealthy habits and negative behaviors that you have engaged in previously. For me personally, it has not been an easy process especially that some of the people who are agents of negativity are your own family members. And so while the process for me is ongoing, a lot of progress has been made so far.
Action step:
Pull out your writing tools (pen and paper, journal) and start writing down the things (thought, belief, situations etc.) that you know are holding back your progress. For each of the things you listed, write down your items on how you can act differently that will bring change. Monitor your progress and note improvements. Celebrate your victories.
- Appreciating others even when they do things to hurt you
Life would be so much better if you and I could just make that extra effort to show how much we appreciate others, even ourselves and the things around. Love and appreciate even those who wounded your spirit.
Experience the beauty of nature, sunshine, rain, your health, your daily food and the fact that you even have a roof over your head. A psalm of David that brings conviction and deafening reminder of the need to show appreciation say:
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth their speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voices goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world." (Psalm 19:1-4 NIV)
Show love and appreciation, forgive, and be gracious and kind. Regardless of what you think might have happened there is some good in every situation and in every person. And because the law of reciprocity is strong, eventually those same persons will return you the favor and start appreciating you. The result is a spiraling upward positive thoughts, feelings and emotions and a better life.
Action step:
To start, think of one person you can show love and appreciation to today. Build momentum and do this action step every day. Find another person each time, even the stranger along the way.
- Learn the lesson from your experiences, and then let go
Did you know that the same experiences keeps popping up in your life until you learn the lesson? That's right, they do.
So here's what, you need to stop rehashing and going over the things that are past, especially negative past experiences. It will do you no good to be constantly analyzing what's already done. To put a cap on this, I quote Jules Murphy Wyman who said,
"Going over your past life is like sitting in a crap film and watching it over and over and over and over and expecting the end to change, when it's not, it's not going to."
So whatever it is, just let it go!
Action tip:
Pause right now and think about that one thing in the past that caused you some hurt and pain or discomfort in your life that is still haunting you. Think about why it is still bothering you – perhaps it's because you have not forgiven the person. You will also need to dig deeper and to extract all of the positive lessons from that situation. Use them to bring about continuous improvement in your life.
These are just a few of the things that you must master in order to live a positive life. It is important to remember who you are. Keep on believing in yourself. Above all, be yourself. Having a positive outlook is not a one-time chance. It is a choice that you can make. It starts with a few small steps in the right direction.

Reading List:
Summer mainly feels like YA contemporary novels, but I've tried to incorporate some other books as well.
- Summer series by Jenny Han – I am not a fan of this series personally, but I don't think you can exclude this one from a "summer reads list".
- The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater – Henrietta always feels like summer.
- We Were Liars by E. Lockhart – Not summer-y in a cheerful sort of way, but more like in a dark way.
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – Self explanatory
- Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare – Of all of Shakespeare's plays, this one is particularly summer-y.
- Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah – I remember reading this one summer years ago.
- The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson – I call these books "quality YA". It had one of my favourite books of all time. And basically all of Matson's books are very summer-y.
- To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee – Essentially gives off summer vibes.
- I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson – Have you seen the name of this book??
- Summer Days and Summer Nights edited by Stephanie Perkins – I haven't read this one, but it is necessarily a collection of twelve short stories in summer.
Hope you guys are having a lovely summer! XO

Perhaps one of the best techniques we as parents of kids with High-Functioning Autism (HFA) and Asperger's can employ is the creation of an "emotional toolbox" designed to help the child to "repair" his or her feelings.
Most kids know that a toolbox usually includes a variety of tools to repair a machine, for example. So, parents can begin discussion and activities that are used to identify different types of "tools" for specific problems associated with feelings.
For example:
- One type of "emotional repair tool" can be a paintbrush, which can be used to represent relaxation tools that lower the heart rate (e.g., drawing, reading, listening to calming music, etc.).
- A picture of a manual can be used to represent thinking tools that are designed to improve cognitive processes (e.g., phrases that encourage reflection before reaction). James, a young man with HFA, developed his "antidote to toxic thoughts" through the use of this tool. He developed a "stop and think first" technique whenever he was upset and about to lash-out at someone.
- A two-handle saw can be used to represent social activities or people who can help repair feelings (e.g., communication with someone who is known to be sympathetic and able to alleviate negative feelings). This can be by spoken word or typed communication, enabling the child to gain a new perspective on the problem and providing some practical advice.
- Another type of emotional repair tool can be represented by a hammer, which signifies physical "tools" for calming down (e.g., going for a walk, bouncing on a trampoline, crushing empty cans for recycling, etc.). The goal here is to repair emotions constructively by a safe physical act that increases the heart rate. One child with Asperger's explained how running around the yard "takes the fight out of me."
The idea is to provide a "repair statement" (i.e., self-talk) for the HFA or Asperger's child that counteracts his or her negative thoughts. For instance, "I can't deal with this (a toxic or negative thought), but I can do this with mom's help (positive thought or antidote)."
The child can also be taught that becoming overly-emotional often inhibits his or her intellectual abilities in a particular situation that requires good problem-solving skills. The self-talk here might be, "When I'm angry and frustrated, I need to cool down so I can think about how to solve this problem."
The concept of a toolbox can be extremely helpful in enabling the youngster with HFA or Asperger's not only to repair her own feelings, but also to repair the feelings of others. Kids on the spectrum often benefit from instruction in learning what tools to use to help friends and family - and which tools others use - so that they may borrow tools to add to their own emotional repair kit.
Humor and imagination can be used as "thinking tools." Contrary to popular myths, young people with HFA and Asperger's greatly benefit from laughter, can enjoy jokes typical of their developmental level, and can be very creative with puns and jokes.
Parents should also have a discussion of "inappropriate tools" (e.g., one would not use a hammer to fix a wrist watch) to explain how some actions (e.g., violence) are not appropriate emotional repair mechanisms. For instance, one child with Asperger's would slap himself to stop negative thoughts and feelings, which only had a very temporary effect and did not solve the problem.
Another tool that could become inappropriate is for the child to repeatedly retreat into his fantasy world (e.g., imagining he is a superhero), or to plan retaliation. The use of escape into fantasy literature and games can be a typical tool for ordinary children. But for kids on the autism spectrum, escape is of concern when it becomes the exclusive coping mechanism (e.g., the fine line between fantasy and reality may be unclear to the child).
Another concern is when daydreams of retaliation to teasing/bullying are expressed in drawings, writing, and threats. Although this may be a typical means of emotional expression, there is a concern that the expression is misinterpreted as an intention to carry out the fantasy – or may be a precursor to retaliation using weapons.
Talking to pets as a "social tool" in preference to talking to friends or developing relationships with people is another inappropriate tool in some cases.
"Unusual tools" should also be discussed. For instance, one teenage girl with Asperger's explained that, "Crying doesn't work for me, so I get mad." In this case, tears were a rare response to feeling sad, with a more common response to sadness being anger, which caused others to misinterpret her behavior.
Another unusual tool is that of being quick at resolving grief and serious tragedies (e.g., death of a loved one). This trait can be of concern to the child's parents, who expect the classic signs of prolonged and intense grieving. Parents may view the child as uncaring, yet the rapid recovery is simply a characteristic of the disorder.
Developing an emotional toolbox to "fix" feelings is a way to improve a child's self-esteem, train her to be able to relate to others effectively, and help her develop a sense of how she learns best in the area of social skills and emotional control.

It's not the Patri, it's the Archy.
|Q: I am a male (and proud of it!) economics professor at a large, respected university. Recently, I was having lunch in the faculty lounge. A couple of members of the Women's Studies Department were looking at a photo of a Neolithic statue of a female figure. When I overheard one of them refer to the figure as a "goddess," I had to interject. After all, just because a statue was ensconced in a large, elaborate building in the center of town doesn't mean they "worshipped" it; a more accurate term might be "fertility symbol" (sort of a prehistoric centerfold).
When I pointed this out to the woman who used the term, she looked me with great disgust, sighed, said "Oh, blow me." and stormed out. I was immediately struck by her use of the term "blow me." Since it is slang for the act of fellatio, can it be used by a female? When I asked the remaining woman (who also seemed inexplicably angry) about this, she smashed me over the head with a "party size" bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and also stormed out. I have three questions: Is "blow me" a gender-specific epithet, what were they so angry about, and do I have grounds for some sort of lawsuit? -- B.S., Hyde Park,Il
|A: She probably meant it in the Lacanian sense, refering to the "phallus" that she possessed (having the power position of not being a presumptuous ass), and imploring you to metaphorically "suck" her righteous fury. Or, she might have wanted to strap on a literal "phallus" (found at many local establishments), have you get down on your knees, and wrap your puffy, pompous, reactionary lips around it (which would no doubt give you a new perspective on the meaning of "worship"). If you don't understand why they were angry, I don't think I could explain it to you, but our legal experts say that you would have no chance in a lawsuit (unless they were from the Business Department).
Flowers for Althusser
|Q: Being a professor of cultural studies, I am constantly on the lookout for examples of Semiotics in action. Recently, while driving my new car near campus (I had only been driving a couple of weeks, but was really getting the hang of it), I began musing on those colorful designs painted on the center of the roadway. Could they have some symbolic function apart from their obvious aesthetic value? That would explain why so many motorists seem obsessed with these designs, often yelling and pointing at them as if imploring me to look. Others make odd, violent gestures which bespeak yet another code (and all of them are overly fond of those atonal music makers on their cars).
My reverie was interrupted by the flashing lights of a police car. "Ah," I thought. "Here's someone who might know about the designs." The officer confirmed my suspicions about hidden meanings, but then rudely berated me for my lack of adherence to them. "Well, excuse me for not being psychic," I replied. This threw him into quite a tizzy. Apparently, there are a whole slew of embedded meanings concealed in the driving environs (this also explains all the pretty signage), and people are compelled to learn all of these arcane portents in the obtainment of some sort of "license."
I tried to explain that the gentleman who sold me the car never mentioned anything about a license, and that the fact that I was tenured faculty should preclude any need for further documentation. This only enraged him further. In an egregiously raw display of power, the officer forced me to abandon my vehicle and accompany him to the station. I was then incarcerated until my department chair could negotiate my release. It was truly a Foucaultesque nightmare. I am now quite penitent regarding my ignorance of the social constructs involved in driving, but my question is, "How are people supposed to find out about these things?" I mean, I've never read a word about any of this in Granta or Social Text. Is there anyone I could ask? Perhaps some manual which contains them all collected together? --Anonymous, Evanston, Il
A: Some semiotic systems just aren't for everyone. The meanings
embedded in the "driving environs" (as you so aptly put it) require
virtually instantaneous interpretation with a minimum of cogitation.
Therefore, this activity might be inappropriate for someone of your
obviously deep and reflective nature (despite the fact that, having
driven in Evanston many times, I know that your contemplative style
of driving would not exactly stand out). If you feel you absolutely
must continue this process, you might ask one of your graduate
assistants (or the person who cleans your office) about where you
might obtain the motoring "codebook." It would also be polite to
inform them of when you plan on driving so they may be aware of your
unique presence on the roadway and can act accordingly.
PS: Get used to hearing those "atonal music makers."

On Feb. 25, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Wage and Hour Division released a proposed rule to implement Executive Order 13706 requiring certain federal contractors to offer employees up to seven days of paid sick leave annually, including paid leave for family care. ABC's General Counsel Littler Mendelson, P.C prepared an in-depth analysis of the DOL proposal, which can be read here.
On Jan. 20, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Wage and Hour Division Administrator David Weil released a detailed Administrator's Interpretation (AI) and related guidance on the definition of joint employment under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA). The new DOL guidance comes on the heels of recent, controversial expansion of the joint employer definition by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). According to the new DOL guidance, joint employment occurs "when an employee is employed by two (or more) employers such that the employers are responsible, both individually and jointly, to the employee for compliance with a statute." In keeping with this broad definition, the AI provides multifactor tests to assist with the identification of horizontal and vertical joint employment, its two most common forms. The AI also gives examples of several industries, including construction, in which joint employment is likely to arise (e.g., workers who work for a sub-contractor and possibly a general contractor).
ABC is reminding its contractor member firms that their 2015 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Form 300A work-related injury and illness log summaries must be posted in a visible spot on all construction sites from Feb. 1 through April 30.
Under new rules, effective Dec. 21, 2015 the Federal Aviation Administration is requiring anyone who buys a small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that is more than .55 lbs and less than 55 lbs to register it before it is flown outside. Registration of the UAS can be done through the online registry for a fee of $5; the registration is valid for three years. Individuals who previously owned and operated a UAS have until Feb. 19, 2016 to register.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed an amended version of the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act (H.R. 3762) Jan. 6, which would repeal several, job-killing provisions in the Affordable Care Act. The same version of the bill passed the Senate 52-47 in Dec. 2015.
ABC is here to help and provide support in any way as we navigate this crisis together. Please find ABC coronavirus resources for members as well as chapters operations:

(CNN) – A rare, but severe complication of coronavirus in children is now showing up in older folks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls it multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults or MIS-A.
It's an illness that's not obviously linked to coronavirus and those who suffer from it may not show any other symptoms that would point to COVID-19.
Still, the CDC says MIS-A has killed at least three patients.
In a weekly report, the agency described the cases of 27 adults between the ages of 21 and 50.
Most had extreme inflammation throughout their bodies and malfunction of organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys, but not the lungs.
A third of the 27 patients tested negative for coronavirus infection but tested positive for antibodies, which indicated they had been infected in the past.
All but one of the MIS-A patients in the report belonged to racial or ethnic minority groups.
Their symptoms included:
- Fever lasting 24 hours or more
- Chest pain and irregular heartbeats
- Evidence of heart dysfunction
- Gastrointestinal symptoms
- Rashes
The CDC said doctors should consider MIS-A in adults who are experiencing these symptoms.
The agency said 10 patients in the report required intensive care.
Three were intubated and three died.
In two young adults, their first symptoms were major strokes.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) was first reported by the CDC in May.

Opening this weekend is director Clint Eastwood's Jersey Boys. The film, which is based on the extremely popular stage musical, tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, chronicling the group's rise in the 1960s with such hits as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man" and subsequent troubles that came with their success. As this featurette points out, the Four Seasons were far from your poster boys for upstanding gentlemen, as Eastwood describes them as a group of "juvenile delinquents." The film stars John Lloyd Young, Vincent Piazza, Erich Bergen, Michael Lomenda, Renee Marino, Mike Doyle, and Christopher Walken. For more on the film, watch the trailer or these clips.
At the New York City press day, I landed an exclusive video interview with John Lloyd Young, who plays Frankie Valli. He talked about playing the role on Broadway, what it was like to first meet Eastwood, what he was like to work with on set, deleted scenes, his new CD where he sings covers of 60s songs, future projects, and more. Hit the jump to watch.
John Lloyd Young:
- He's performed on Broadway, the West End, and now played Frankie Valli in a movie directed by Clint Eastwood. Which is the coolest?
- What was the first meeting with Eastwood like? Talks about how Eastwood came to see him perform on Broadway.
- Eastwood likes to do only a take or two. How was he on Jersey Boys and what was the collaboration like?
- Deleted scenes talk.
- Talks about the upcoming press tour for the film.
- Talks about his new CD where he sings covers of 60s songs.
- What is he looking to do next?

I have gotten many requests for more game recommendations after I posted my version of Bible Jeopardy. So instead of e-mailing everyone back, I thought I'd just do a post on our favorite games.
Here are honest reviews, games we love and some not so much. We have a cupboard full of games and I am always on the lookout for new games. Our family is very much a "games" kind of family. (I may or may not have a "game collecting" addition.! Addiction is taking it a little too far, how about "hobby". Game collecting hobby – yes, that is now a thing. ;)..)
I am sharing all of the board games we love in this post (Part 1). In the next post (Part 2) (give me a few weeks), I will share all other games we enjoy with family and youth, indoor and outdoor games. (Like 4 Chairs, Electricity, and The Cup Game – a favorite. So fun!)
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.
5-SECOND RULE– We like this. Youth plays all the time. You get 5-seconds to answer a question. Example: Name three fast food chains. You think you know it, but when you are on the spot, it gets intense. Great for all ages.
BATTLESHIP– A great classic for all ages.
CLUE– One of my FAVORITE games. Clue and Scrabble for the win!. It never gets old.
BRAIN QUEST– Trivia games with questions for grade 1-6. We REALLY like their flash cards. We have EVERY grade level. It's great to play on road trips when you need to kill time. I really thought I was super smart-until I played this game. HIGHLY recommend the cards.
BLOKUS– This game was highly recommended. We purchased it and really did not care for it. It could just be our family but no-one liked it. Bummer..
BLURT– Fun for all ages. We don't use the board. A question is read and the first person to blurt the correct gets the card. At the end of the game, the person with the most card is the winner. Playing this way doesn't limit the players you can have. You can either have one person read all of the cards or continue rotating the stack of cards and have a different person read each time.
APPLES to APPLES– Fun for all ages. Gets everyone involved and laughing.
BANANAGRAM– We really enjoy playing this game when we have ladies get-together. Instead of doing the peel version, we just divide the tiles equally and the first person to use up their tiles is the winner. My favorite way of playing this game. Kind of like mini Scrabble.
CONNECT 4– Classic family game everyone should have in their game collection.
DINNER GAMES– Cute ideas for what to play/do when you are around the dinner table.
DUTCH BLITZ– THIS IS FUN! Be sure to order 2 packs right away. One pack limits to 4 players and everyone will want in on the fun. If you would rather have 8 players play together, get the expansion pack. We preferred just having 2 teams. Seems easier than having 8 people play.
FUNGLISH– Another great game for large or small groups. Basically, a player gets a "secret" word and they have to use words given to describe the word and everyone else tries to guess what the word is. Really great for youth groups and when you have people of different ages play.
N. GEOGRAPHIC QUIZ WHIZ– This is a fun trivia game. I don't think it's just for kids. It's amazing how much of this you forget.
JENGA– This is kind of a fun game, 2 players at a time. Our kids really enjoy it.
MONOPOLY– Please don't judge by what I'm about to tell you, alright, fine judge me because I deserve it. I just learned to play this game last week for the very first time! LOL. No, I am not joking. So fun. I ordered the Mega version. I like the board better than the original version because it's bigger, however, we don't like the Skyscrapers. We just don't play with those. It's almost like the first person to build a Skyscraper wins the game. I just purchased additional houses and hotels on eBay since we don't use skyscrapers.
SAY ANYTHING– This game is fun for everyone. We got together for a New Year's party and we played this game with couples. Meaning each couple got one board. There was so much laughter. A great game for a small youth group gathering or even teens.
SCRABBLE– My ultimate favorite game.
SMART LASS– Okay I am not the one to name this game and I don't like the name of it, so I just drew on L to add to the name but it's a really FUN game! A question is read, starting with the most difficult question and the answers keep getting easier (all the answers are the same). If you answer and it's incorrect you are out. Very fun.
UNO– Uno is a classic. Have you ever played Uno where you jump in or Uno slap? If any of you haven't I can explain how to play it.
WINK– LOVE this game. Unfortunately, when purchasing the game, it limits you to 8 players. We usually have more. If you think you will have more than 8 players, send me an e-mail and I will give you templates for creating this game at home.
INKLING– This is GREAT game for Bible trivia if you enjoy that. You can either play with the board instructions or if we ever have a large group we made up our own rules. So the reader takes a card and begins reading the question. Each question will have the same answer. The first question is the most difficult. If someone answers and it's incorrect, they are out and cannot answer again until a new card is read. The person that answers the correct answer, gets the card. The person with the most cards, wins.
BIBLE BLURT– It's like the game Blurt but with more Biblical based questions. Instead of using a board to move, the person that blurts out the answer just keeps the card. Then we just count cards and winner is determined that way. A larger group of people if played this way.
CHILDREN'S BIBLE TRIVIA– This is great not only for children but for anyone who is a beginner with Bible questions. Great for Sunday School.
APPLES to APPLES Bible Version– Being honest here. We purchased this but did NOT care for it. It's a little awkward to play and feels wrong, that's just my opinion. Goodwill got our game;).
BIBLE CHALLENGE– This is another Bible questions game. The questions are WONERFUL! The board layout it a bit weird but sure is great for Bible fun with Trivia involved.
OUTBURST Bible Version– This is on our list to purchase. I have heard good things about the game but have yet to purchase it.
There you all go! Hope this gets you excited to get your family/friends together and have a wonderful time with laughter!
Did you find this useful? Are there games you LOVE but we don't have listed? PLEASE SHARE!!! 🙂

Fear Aggression in Dogs
Don't misunderstand, I am no expert when it comes to working with dogs with fear aggression. Jack had a touch of this problem, but with hard work and a good trainer, he's worked through most of it and while he doesn't joyfully greet strangers like our Sally did, he tolerates them. But, I have a friend who has a very fearful dog, he's actually fear-aggressive – a tough combination. It takes a lot of training and a lot of patience to work with a dog with these issue. She works with him everyday and with persistence and patience he has made great progress.
She put together a great list of resources that were helpful to her and I thought I would share them with the group. I'm sure many of you have your own insights, advice and resources to add to this list, so please feel free to add in the comments.
Yahoo Groups: Shy-K9s – an online community of 4,000 members with shy and fearful dogs. This is an invaluable resource for support, questions & answers, resources and ideas.
- A Guide to Living With and Training a Fearful Dog, Debbie Jacobs. Her website: www.fearfuldogs.com is also a good resource
- Cautious Canine, Patricia McConnell (goes through detailed protocols for desensitizing fear and will be really helpful)
- Calming Signals by Turid Rugaas (to help you read your dog well enough to gain some insight into what she might be doing and to learn to "speak" her language a bit to help de-stress her. a completely invaluable book when dealing with shy, stressed dogs)
- Dogs are from Neptune, Jean Donaldson (for detailed help with very specific problems, guarding and fear among them)
- Help for your Fearful Dog by Nicole Wilde
- Scaredy Dog and Focus Not Fear by Ali Brown
- Modifying Dog Aggression, The Whole Dog Journal, Pat Miller, a packet of articles written about dog aggression
- Susanne Clothier, seminars and YouTube videos
- "Control Unleashed" by Leslie McDevitt – she originally wrote it with agility competitors in mind who's dogs become over stimulated/have difficulty focusing, but many folks with fearful dogs and dog reactive dogs have found it really helpful.
- *"Stress in Dogs?" by Martina Scholz and Clarissa Von Reinhardt, it lists more than 30 signs of stress in dogs and talks about just how hard chronic stress is on a dog's body.
TRAINING PROTOCOLS (research training instructions online):
- "Watch me" – teaches your dog to look to you on command for guidance
- "Let's go or follow me" – teaches your dog to leave on command and follow you in a stressful situation
- The Relaxation Protocol, Dr. Karen Overall – teaches your dog to not react regardless of the surrounding circumstances
- Polite, Attentive and Calm exercise (PACE) – teaches your dog to have self control in all situations
- The Art & Science of Animal Behavior, Dr. Sophia Yin
- The Power of Positive Training by Pat Miller (great all-around training book)
- Click for Joy! by Melissa Alexander (excellent "everything you ever wanted to know about clicking" answer book)
- Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor (for training methods and help sorting out the effect of rewards vs. the effects of punishments and when to use which)
- Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson (general myth-busting. it helps you see what dogs are learning from what we are doing with them and helps get rid of old ideas)
- Mine by Jean Donaldson (for resource guarding)
And finally she shared this great chart from Dr. Sophi Yen which is a great visual depiction of what to look for.
We're joining up with 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie for This 'N That Thursday Hop, so be sure to visit our other Hoppers:

Great list!!!! Sharing!
MelF recently posted…The Charity Game of Love: Give to the Max Day (Today!)
Just added your link to a blog post I wrote a while back on euthanizing an aggressive dog. Thanks for putting this together!
MelF recently posted…The Charity Game of Love: Give to the Max Day (Today!)
Very good points. In our family, I'm the problem. I like to get all barky with other dogs and that sends my guard dog sister out to "take care" of my problem. This only happens when we are together, if we are out walking alone, then no issues, but we aren't aggressive dogs, I think it is more just the fun I have of seeing Katie work for me.

Cloudy is a touch food aggressive too. She growled something fierce when Misty tried to grab some of her food!
Michelle Liew recently posted…Stretching your dog's mind
Thank you for sharing these resources! We read Help for Your Shy Dog when we first got Duke & he was afraid of everything outside. It had some really good tips & now he's over it. But I can understand how hard this can be for both dog & owner, so thank you for helping to spread the word about help.
Great information. We use Patricia McConnell books all the time at work to have clients purchase. Love the info sign. At work we really have to watch the dog and watch the signs they give us. You don't know going in sometimes how they will be. I would say alot of the dogs coming in are fear aggressive. You have to work really slowly with them and talk calmly with them and try and make them feel safe.
Sand Spring Chesapeakes recently posted…This 'N That Thursday
good info-thanks. I especially liked the graphic
Terri Gardner recently posted…Poodles-Vintage Black And White Photos
Excellent post this morning, SlimDoggy Kate! When I was going through my Animal Behavior College dog obedience training course, the material touched a bit on aggression in dogs but only in general terms. I've already read some of the books listed — they are great! — and as a novice trainer, I LOVE the chart! Unfortunately, "book knowledge" is not enough to learn how to deal with a shy/fearful/aggressive dog. One has to have common sense, a trainer who knows what to do and how to teach the dog's owner what to do, and support from family and friends. The list is a great place to start though.
Oh wow. This is great. I'll have to share this post. Thank you!
Flea recently posted…High Aim Assistance Dogs – and More
Love this. I have a fear aggressive dog as well. I am a huge fan of Nicole Wilde, Jean Donaldson, and Patricia McConnell. I actually attended a two day seminar of Nicole Wilde's earlier this year, and an entire day was spent discussing fearful dogs.

Pizzafari has long been a staple quick-service dining location in the Discovery Island section of Disney's Animal Kingdom. While Disney's pizza isn't necessarily the best on Disney property, it's a colorful and fun restaurant with a good variety of pizza, flatbread, soup and salads.
Now something new is coming to Pizzafari!
Family-Style Dining at Pizzafari
As of July 31st, 2018, Pizzafari will start serving family-style meals in addition to their regular counter-service dining nightly between 5pm and 8pm.
You'll still be able to walk up to the counter and order what you want or mobile order on MyDisneyExperience, but the new family-style option will allow for a sit-down family meal in one of two designated dining rooms in the restaurant. The other three will remain open for quick-service diners.
For $19.99 for adults and $11.99 for kids, each person gets a non-alcoholic beverage (beer and wine are available for purchase), and the table gets two salads, three entrees (pasta, chicken, and pizza), and dessert to share. This price includes tax, and while gratuity is not included, it's also noted on Disney's website that it isn't required even though a Cast Member will bring food to your table.
Considering that quick-service entrees range between $9.99 and $13.49 per meal plus a drink and dessert, the $19.99 cost doesn't seem too bad! For an even better bang for your buck, this "table-service" option is only one quick-service dining credit per person!
A couple big questions remain though: how many people does this serving feed? Disney's website doesn't specify a number, and they don't say whether the Cast Member-wait staff will bring drink refills or more food if requested and/or necessary.
Pizzafari family-style: yes or no?

Rosy days are over
I am a person with no true friend.
I am the girl who got f***** by her boyfriend, influenced to have the pregnancy terminated even though I didn't want to.
I am the mother of his children.
I am waiting for my third child but second living one.
I am told I am the source of my husband's unhappiness.
I am worried my two sons will grow up to dislike me.
I am sure there is something inherently wrong with me.
Nobody truly loves me.
I am screwed.

You make one hell of a case for the police failing to protect Patterico and his family. It's been at least a month, and the only thing he needs to end this is something that shows that Weiner thought Betty was fake?
So, you're saying Weiner is threatening Patterico?
Qritiq, someone spends a huge amount of space detailing something I clearly did not do, and I explain why I would ask Gennette to provide the evidence.
Qritiq simply removes a polite and civil response to something I am being accused of. All I did was put my differences and judgements with Gennette aside and ask her in a civil manner to help, while explaining that this matter is more serious than just the email threats.
What ETC is describing has nothing to do with anything I did, and insinuates I am John Reid. Qritiq is OK with that because, of course, I criticized her.
Qritiq is shameful.
Yes, thugs have indeed threatened people's families if they do follow up on Gennette. It is perfectly reasonable to think that those thugs are afraid they are exposed in some way if Gennette were to share more information.
Qritiq's unbelievable hostility towards nice people is weird. Her post below purporting to have some kind of voice comparison is also pretty weird.
All I'm asking for is people to work together in the open. It's shameful that Qritiq thinks I can be criticized but must not be allowed to defend myself.
Dustin is nice. A NICE person. Civil and Politte. Selfless, even.
And he's not John Reid at all. It's SHAMEFUL to think so.
SHAMEFUL to consider it.
You should be ASHAMED to let it cross your mind.
It never crossed my mind until he posted this. Dustin's use of 'shameful' brings back the John Reid Twitter Tantrum, with all the SHAME ON YOU crap.
Maybe you are John Reid, Dustin, and maybe you aren't. We need more evidence. Your real driver's license, videochat, pay stub….
Over on Patterico.com, Dustin is crying victim, claiming he was banned here.
Sigh. The noble, misunderstood victim.
Consider letting him back in, the way Patterico did for GC, after tying her hands and letting his commenters thrash her for hours and hours. You know, to teach her a lesson about who's in control.
Dustin minimizes the months-long, hate-filled, menacing rants against GC, but if you call him out on something, it's a very different story.
To quote Dan Wolfe, another martyr who Dustin isn't,
"Cry me a river."
That said, please reconsider un-banning him.
In all seriousness, Dustin's 'needy little girl' demeanor sounds a lot like depressed, unstable, needy little…
If that's true, no wonder he hates GC.
It seems Qritiq took your advice and unbanned me.
"It was a question, just as the following was when it appeared"
bla bla bla
I don't write Patterico's blogs. You can't prove hypocristy on my part by complaining about something he did.
And yeah, I do think it's an open question why Weiner was saying creepy stuff to Ethel. Capes and tights.
Thank you for explaining how I was correct. Yes, that question insinuated Patterico and I were using some "John Reid" technique to manipulate Gennette. It's stupid.
I simply asked nicely.
You have a lot of hostility towards me for no apparent reason.
If you would like a civil exchange, take it to Patterico's blog where I am often lurking and people are able to have a good faith argument without being banned.
Sometimes, Qritiq spams a link to her boring blog.
Dustin says he was accused of working with Patterico to jointly interrogate GC, but that wasn't the case. The post says this:
"Are Patrick and Dustin using the "Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation" on GC to discredit and manipulate her in front of all those socks and/or people?"
It was a question, just as the following was when it appeared on Patterico.com, in 3 parts:
Evidence That Weiner Was Talking Dirty to Underage Girls?
I don't know who did it, but what about the anti-Islamic zealots who claim that Weiner's wife has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and wanted to kill his career? Even the rumor of online misconduct with underage girls would be enough to follow him through any future attempts at public life. Maybe that's why the reids couldn't fade away.
Patriotusa76 loved three things: Hating RepWeiner, hating Islamofascists and all Muslims & loving Reagan. He followed every public move Weiner made, and bitched about each one bitterly on twitter. He looked like a jealous, sore loser.
had to edit this – interesting, but too long/slightly off-topic. Kept all the links in if you want to research the info -qritiq
Just one semi-ironic question.
Are Patrick and Dustin using the "Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation" on GC to discredit and manipulate her in front of all those socks and/or people?
Never heard of it?
"The Reid Technique" was pioneered by (no kidding, now) John E. Reid over at http://www.reid.com.
For examples of how such techniques get innocent people to confess to crimes, take a look at the work of Richard Ofshe, at http://sociology.berkeley.edu/faculty/OFSHE/."
Here's a primer on it, from http://www.LawCollective.org, which specifies that permission is granted for copying the text, unchanged:
1. John Reid codified these tactics, referring to them as the "Nine Steps of Interrogation." Reid and his partner Fred Inbau spent decades writing about and teaching interrogation techniques, and business is still booming at http://reid.com/. In U.S. police acadamies, their books have been the most popular texts on this subject. Their work is full of sample scripts, generally involving a hapless suspect named Joe: "Joe, if this whole thing was your idea, that tells me that you have a criminal mind. But if you were just talked into doing this against your better judgment, that would be important to include in my report. You were just talked into it, weren't you?" For examples of how such techniques get innocent people to confess to crimes, take a look at the work of Richard Ofshe, at http://sociology.berkeley.edu/faculty/OFSHE/.

"What are you afraid of? If you haven't done anything wrong, then you shouldn't have any problem answering my questions."
Common Interrogation Lines

(from http://www.LawCollective.org/article.php?id=55)
Common Interrogation Lines
You're not a suspect. We're simply investigating here. Just help us understand what happened and then you can go.
If you answer questions, you're likely to become a suspect, if you aren't really one already.
What are you afraid of? If you haven't done anything wrong, then you shouldn't have any problem answering my questions.2
What you should be afraid of is being lured into answering questions. You don't have anything to prove. Remember, in court you're "innocent until proven guilty"—and the thing most likely to prove guilt is an unplanned statement made when you're arrested. If the police are thinking of arresting you, answering their questions will make them more determined to do it, not less so.
Look, if you don't answer my questions, I won't have any choice but to take you to jail. This is your chance to tell your side of the story.
I'm tired of screwing around. If you don't answer my questions, you're going to be charged with obstruction.
Well, you know this is garbage, because the Constitution guarantees you the right to remain silent—so refusing to answer questions can't be against the law. But some cops will still threaten you with "resisting an officer" or "obstruction of justice," just to see whether you'll fall for it.
Come on, I'm not asking you to sign anything. We're just talking. And you can stop any time you want to.
Remember, anything you say can be used against you in a court of law. You don't have to sign anything to make it a real confession—the police will just quote you (and they may be taping you, too). The time to stop is before you ever begin—even a little time spent answering questions can completely screw up your case.
See comment #12 from "Dan" and the 3rd from last comment by @LastBrainLeft.
Pretty similar. And the only two that use that website.
Then read @Lastbrainleft's twitter. Sick guy. His favorite retort is "Go die in a fire"
Could be a coincidence.
It was @Thelastbrainleft
Sadly, I live in Weiner's NYC district. Please, PLEASE give to his Republican opponent! http://www.bobturnerforcongress.com/Home.aspx

[…] Qritiq « Sockpuppet Theatre […]
catching up, Qritiq:
1. Who voiced Patricia Reid?
Nikkisock, of course. Who also was nikki, marienela, and john reid. probably also the super-lame Alicia Pain and similar bullshit internet threat emails.
nikki may have been dan, but i'm content thinking they are different socks. nikki is more bizarrely acted than dan.
beyond that, i conclude we really have no idea who nikkisock was.
2. Did Dan Wolfe get paid? By who?
i have no idea. there are lots of people who love troll politics for sport. Dansock was created to hate on anthony weiner, crassly at first, and when actual evidence of queer twitter behavior emerged, he pounced on that. there are people out there who get paid to tweet positions, but tons who do it for fun.
3. Is there anything concrete that ties NR to the AW takedown?
Neal Rauhauser? For the life of me, I have yet to figure out what all the NR post-weiner-resignation blather is about.
AW tweeted his dick, he tried to cover it up, there were other pics out there that kept coming out, so he was doomed. No matter whether the temptations were friendly to him (Gennette, Ethel, Ginger Lee, LiberalLisa), neutual (Broussard, with her Breitbart-loving pal), or a potential trap (nikki), him sending the pics was beyond stupid. even if a sock intended to get AW to send dicktweets was the ultimate temptation that got AW to give in, it still would be AW's fault. Its like giving money to a nigerian email scam, there are no excuses, let Clark Howard damn your soul.
4. What was the motive? (please be specific)
no clue if you are talking about NR.
5. Is there really a JG? Has anyone seen the police report?
whoever is behind nikkisock is yet to be disclosed. if there was a police report, surely lee would have posted it by now. whether there is a "jennifer george" behind nikkisock, i have no idea.
so i guess there are no relevations here, except to emphasize that nothing has changed in terms of what we know for many weeks now.
reading up on patterico more, i see he is quite convinced that wolfe is part of the nikkisock gang. i'm fine with that as a logical deduction, though its not yet proven to be true via IP addresses or something like that.
where patterico loses me is this suggestion that gennette and weiner have some relationship that shadowy people are desperate to keep hidden. he spends all this time showing that reid=wolfe and was likely some lamo troll plot against weiner, and then totally switches course by claiming that libs are doing worse stuff for completely unclear reasons to defend weiner? if we assume weiner also had a sexual online relationship with gennette, who cares at this point? patterico suggests someone will probably to go prison for their online threats and other stuff not revealed, that would be pretty amazing for internet troll activities if it does.
