Adventure Mindset
I've really been thinking recently about adventure mindset and how it connects to our current circumstances in education. In reading blogs, listening to podcasts, and considering my own mindset, I've come to the conclusion that this mindset is what many of us need in order to move forward and innovate so that we are able to impact and engage today's learners.
It's not a secret that I love words and I love to know what they mean and how they should be used. Adventure is defined as "an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity." Upon reading the definition, I immediately thought, "That doesn't sound like a good idea." It was the word 'hazardous' that was causing concern. That word can stir up fear or concern for those of us in education. We are not looking to be a part of hazardous situations and tend to prefer the antonyms to the word such as safe and secure. However, as I continued to explore the words, I found that hazardous actually means 'risky'. And, let's be honest, risky is what we need right now.
Taking risks is a big part of adventure mindset and a big part of being an educator for today's learners. It's the willingness to take risks and try new things that will create an educational experience that our learners actually invest in rather than one that they simply endure. So, words like adventure and hazardous are probably words that we should begin to use often. I would like to make it clear that there is a difference between intentional risk-taking and haphazard risk-taking. Intentional risks are thought out and considered before moving forward. Barriers are identified and even planned for. Haphazard risk-taking is aimless and dependent on chance...not what we're going for here.
As I begin to consider how to break down the adventure mindset in education, I immediately thought about the willingness to go BEYOND...
...beyond our circumstances.
...beyond our comfort zones.
...and beyond our assumptions.
Let me explain. I love this quote, "Stop staring at mountains. Climb them instead. Yes, it's a harder process but it will lead you to a better view." (Anonymous). Often times, our circumstances can be overwhelming and seem impossible to overcome. However, if we are willing to look beyond the circumstances and beyond the obstacles, we see the finish line, the reward, the outcome of what we are trying to accomplish.
Comfort zones are nice and cozy. It can be easy to become so comfortable that we don't want to leave that comfort zone. The problem with that is that it is beyond the comfort zone that innovative solutions and sustainable change reside. Going beyond our comfort zones allows us to find these things and so much more. It's simply a matter of considering what's comfortable, what's not, and how we can use BOTH to create change.
Assumptions can cause us, as educators, to miss opportunities. If we assume our students can't do something or won't do something, we might be missing an opportunity for them to deeply understand content as a result of application. If we assume we will be told no or that our idea will not be valuable, we might never share something that would've changed our campus or district for the better. Consider a perspective beyond your assumptions. When you find yourself making an assumption, ask yourself, "But, what if I'm wrong?".
So, let's talk about an adventure. What's involved? How can we intentionally consider this mindset within our current circumstances?
"A ship in harbor is safe but that is not what ships are built for." ~ John Augustus Shedd
What does this have to do with education? I would say, "Lesson plans are safe, but that is not what teachers are built for." We are built to design meaningful learning experiences. Maybe, "Worksheets are safe, but that is not what learners are built for." Learners are built to experience learning by doing. Do you see the difference?
Below are six things that should be considered when preparing for and setting out on an adventure. Consider how you might use these as a road map for your own adventure as you set out to explore our new educational landscape.
1. Identify your destination. It's always important to know where you are going. Where are you setting out to go? How will you get there?
2. Gather what you need to know. Being prepared with necessary information, tools and strategies will ease anxiety and fear. Do you need to collaborate with a colleague, listen to a podcast, or find blog posts regarding your destination?
3. Acknowledge possible barriers/failures. While it isn't always possible to identify or predict ALL of the barriers or failures that lie ahead, being prepared for some of them will help you feel better prepared and ready to overcome. What might go wrong? How will we overcome that particular barrier? What support will we need?
4. Take the first step. This is big. Considering an adventure and actually going on an adventure are two different things. What is the first step? How will you find the courage to begin?
5. Take risks and focus on growth. As the adventure begins and continues, it's important to focus on intentional risk-taking and growth. Focusing on goals can be overwhelming right now. Instead, find those small wins and acknowledge progress when it is achieved. What is the risk in this experience? What impact will it have on me as the educator? What impact will it have on my learners? What did we do today to move the needle forward?
6. Make purposeful reflection a priority. Reflection is ALWAYS a good idea. Knowing what you've done and how it went is what allows us to make decisions moving forward. As with any good adventure, it's important to ask yourself: What went well? What didn't go well? How has it changed my perspective?
Adventure mindset...it works, doesn't it? Seeing our current circumstances as an adventure rather than a challenge changes everything. It has the potential to impact us as educators as well as our learners. So, as we prepare to climb this difficult mountain together, let's remember, it's going to be hard. But, the reality is, it will lead us to a much better view.

Any musculoskeletal or physiological problem will render you incapable of doing certain exercises. Herniated disc is no different and it is actually one of the more serious spinal conditions. Dozens of common exercises will be unwise for you. Many yoga poses will not be recommended for you. However, there are some yoga poses for herniated disc that are not only safe but would be beneficial. In addition to being calming and having substantial pain relieving effect, these yoga poses for herniated disc will also regulate the condition, prevent worsening and also ensure a strengthened back.
This is one of the most common yoga poses for herniated disc, scoliosis and many other skeletal problems. Salabhasana requires you to lie down on your belly. Be completely straight, keeps your arms aligned along your sides and you can tuck them in under your upper thighs. While keeping your back, neck, shoulders, chest and waist completely still, try to raise your legs backward, up in the air. Try to keep your feet as close together as you can. Initially, you would have trouble lifting your legs backward. Then you would struggle to keep your feet together indicating that the legs are not aligned together, touching one another as they should. With time these issues will no longer be a concern.
Do not bend your knees as you raise your leg backward and upward. Inhale when you raise your legs and exhale when you bring them back down. Repeat this as many times as you can but start with five to ten reps and three or five sets of those. After a few days, try to hold your legs in the elevated position for ten or fifteen seconds. This will be difficult initially but you will get accustomed over time.
This is another popular yoga posture for herniated disc. It is anyway recommended for those suffering from back pain and those having weak spinal strength. Take the same position on the floor as you would for Salabhasana with your belly down. Instead of raising the legs, raise your legs backward only till the knees. As you bend your knees, take your arms and reach out to the ankles. Grasp your feet as you raise your chest from the ground, forming an arch using your back. Essentially, you are bending backward with your belly on the floor and your legs are bent at the knee.
Tiryaka Tadasana and Kati Chakrasana are relatively easier yoga poses for herniated disc. They are effective but not equally as much as Salabhasana and Dhanurasana.

The start of college looks different for everyone. Maybe you just moved a few towns over, or maybe you flew across the country or arrived in a new country altogether. Either way, the experience can be as stressful as it is exciting – I moved from New York, so I know first-hand how scary it can be! If you want to read some moretips for freshmen at USCspecifically, you can click here.
One foolproof way to ease your nerves is to create a new routine, which could include finding the quickest route to class, getting to know your roommates, or figuring out your favorite restaurants around campus. When I arrived at USC as a freshman, I was quickly overwhelmed with the workload and found that establishing some good study spots around campus was the best way to make my days a lot easier.
The Village
My go-to study spot is absolutely the USC Village – located just north of the main campus, the village has tons of restaurants and stores as well as tables and couches for students to work at. One of the major perks of living in LA is consistently good weather. Being from the northeast I'm used to cold weather, so to be able to work and hangout outdoors year-round still amazes me.
The USC Village can get busy but provides a good backdrop of white noise if that's something you like when studying. I love stopping by Cafe Dulce and grabbing a cold brew or an iced matcha latte and posting up on one of the couches to get some writing done.
If you need a more quiet place to concentrate, USC has excellent study spaces on-campus as well. Doheny and Leavey Libraries are both great options that I and my fellow Trojan students love. Doheny is your classic, picturesque, old-world college library - dark wood tables and chairs spread among ancient bookshelves resting beneath intricately adorned ceilings.
It's conveniently located in the center of campus which makes it easy to pop in and get some work done between classes. Studying outside on the lawn areas of these libraries is also a wonderful option if you're looking to get some fresh air and take in the immaculate views of USC's campus.
Local Coffee Shops
Lastly, if you really want to get away from campus, Los Angeles has no shortage of coffee shops to help you get through a heavy work week. I love Blue Bottle and Verve Coffee, both of which are located right in DTLA.
Hope you all have picked up on my caffeine addiction here - both of these places have great lattes, and Verve has amazing croissants. Pair any of these options with a good study playlist (I love Spotify's "Chill Lofi Study Beats") and you'll be a college student with a 4.0 in no time!
Your Own Apartment
For the times when I can't bring myself to get to campus, I'm grateful to have a good study set-up at my apartment for maximum concentration. Living in a Tripalink apartment has afforded me the opportunity to create a good environment in which to focus as my roommates and I all have our own bedrooms. This privacy is invaluable for when things get really stressful.
And although it's beneficial to have our own spaces, my roommates and I love having a communal living area where we can gather and decompress after a long day. Also, Tripalink's apartments are all very close to USC, and there's even a shuttle bus that runs frequently between their properties and campus so you can get to all my aforementioned study spots easily!

White people are shaken to their core by the idea of accountability and equal justice under the law.
Yesterday in St. Louis, protesters took to the streets to make their way to Mayor Lyda Krewson's home in order to demand her resignation for publishing the names and addresses of local citizens who called for the defunding of the police department. What the f**k is wrong with her?! Anyway, on their trek to speak truth to power, protesters walked past the house of dangerously white couple Mark and Patricia McCloskey who shall henceforth only be referred to as Karen and Kody.
Karen and Kody live in a gated community inside a house that can only be described as a residence that looks like a plantation-turned-prison. Large stone columns adorn the entrance and the design favors a domicile that any slavemaster would love to call home. Karen and Kody are the proprietors of McCloskey Law Center that is operated out of their antebellum abode and when protesters walked past their house, this happened…
Just look at how these two caucasian clowns are holding their weapons…
They obviously have no idea what they are doing and are more likely to shoot themselves mishandling a deadly weapon than to shoot somebody else.
What's crazier is that Mark McCloskey was reportedly the lawyer for a Black man named Isaiah Forman. Why was McCloskey representing Forman, you ask? Well, according to DailyMail, Isaiah Forman IS A VICTIM OF POLICE BRUTALITY! He sued the Woodson Terrace Police Department after he was kicked and punched by officer David Maas after a chase in a vehicle that was said to have been carjacked. Dashcam caught the whole incident.
At the time McCloskey said: "I'm glad that the law enforcement agencies are subject to the same standard as everybody else".
Clearly, his behavior yesterday proves him a liar because if he really believed that police officers should be held to account then he would 1000% understand why protesters were pulling up to the mayor's crib.
But as all know, white folks gon' white folk.

Richard Fleischner
La Jolla Project (1984)
Richard Fleischner began to work environmentally in the 1970s; for him elements of nature could themselves serve as sculptural media. Fleischner has used hay, sod, grass, and wooden structures to project universal architectural forms into the ephemera and a variety of natural settings. The maze, the corridor, and the rudimentary shelter have been important sources for Fleischner, but he also draws inspiration from his knowledge of historical monumental sites. These range from Egyptian pyramids to Greek temples, where the play of architectural elements is the essence of a place.
Fleischner's La Jolla Project, completed in 1984 and the third work in the Stuart Collection, is located on the Revelle College lawn south of Galbraith Hall. Seventy-one blocks of pink and gray granite are arranged in configurations that refer to architectural vocabulary: posts, lintels, columns, arches, windows, doorways, and thresholds. Like players on a field or game pieces (Fleischner made a series of small game like sculptures in the late sixties), these elements transform an ordinary, nearly flat lawn into a space with allusions ranging from an ancient ruin to a contemporary construction site. Fleischner's work is always determined by the topography of a site, its spatial relationships, and the distinctive ways people move through and around it. What is most important for him is to interpret and essentialize a place by using minimal means to delineate natural lines and boundaries, while establishing an interplay of horizontal and vertical elements. There is no single way to experience La Jolla Project - it generates a complex set of spatial and historical relationships that invigorate and give meaning to the formerly undefined area it occupies. The stones for La Jolla Project were quarried in New England and cut near Providence, Rhode Island, where the artist lives and works.
Other important sited works include: the Balsillie School at the Center for International Governance Innovation in Waterloo, ON (2010-2012); the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge (2008-10 and 1980-85); a memorial for victims of 9/11 at the Marsh & McLennan headquarters in New York (2002-03); Brown University War Memorial (1996-97); a 3000 sq. ft. terrazzo inlay in the Cancer Center atrium at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (1995-98); and a large outdoor park area in front of the Judicial Building in downtown St. Paul, MN (1988-91).
The La Jolla Project is more commonly known on campus as "Stonehenge." It is a popular place for students to go to talk or study.

What is the difference Between Andaman and Nicobar Islands
The easiest way to put this up is that Nicobar island hosts Nicobarese tribe. These tribes have many things in common as that of mongoloids. Nicobar island faced a lot of devastation in 2004, Tsunami. Government later provided help to people who lost their loved ones in Tsunami. Considering the sanctity of the tribes, government of Andaman Islands does not allow tourist to visit this island. You can visit this destination only for work related things. Even locals in Port Blair, the capital of Andaman Islands are not allowed to visit this location just for any reasons.
Secondly, Nicobar Island hosts a naval base, which guards south east borders of India. Its not open for travelers as well.

While considered the contemporary face of the label, 11 By Boris Bidjan Saberi slowly but surely bridges the gap between modern high-street style and the esoteric aesthetic of which the mainline is celebrated. Retaining focus on practical and functional garments, 11 By BBS is a line for the active, the street-savvy, and the fashionable, drawing influence from urban culture and the military.
This season 11 BY BBS continues its now-regular collaboration with French sportswear label Salomon, reproducing familiar footwear models with new colour schemes. The XT-4 and Odyssey Mid adopt the practical designs from Salomon Labs and also sport the unique dyeing treatment more commonly seen in mainline Boris Bidjan Saberi, resulting in sturdy shoes fit for a dystopia. The XT-4's contrasting colour scheme and bold textile pattern presents a more high-tech look while the unevenly dyed Odyssey retains a distressed, archaic aesthetic.
Staple accessories in the 11 BY BBS collection include backpacks, socks, and headwear. For this season, the label once again works with New Era for a collection of classic, minimal, well-fitting caps and hats. The designs are tasteful and elegant, with small yet striking logos embroidered on the front. The caps also sport subtle mesh-like perforations on the side, dotted in the shape of the namesake 11.
As the more streetwear-centric label, graphic tees are an essential part of the collection. By revisiting classic designs and motifs, the label weaves a sense of timelessness throughout its collection. The block print tee is vivid and distinct, utilising negative space to catch the eye, while the middle finger tee makes use of unsubtle imagery and slogans (elements first appearing in SS16) to celebrate youth culture and rebellion.

There has been a lot of emphasis lately in the "Information Technology" world on "cloud computing" and "software as a service (SAAS)." If the cloud computing evangelists have their way, we will need nothing more than an Internet portal on our desktop – or on our phone, laptop, or whatever – and all software will be run, and all data stored, on Internet servers.
Now, there are definite potential advantages to this, particularly for businesses. No matter where you are or what computer you are using, you can have access to your software and data. Data stored remotely in secure facilities, hopefully with adequate back-up, could be safer, at least physically, than on your own computer. Moving the responsibility for storing data and keeping software up-to-date from your company to a remote service can allow you to cut IT staff or to hire staff that doesn't have to be as highly knowledgeable. Obviously the same advantages apply to home users, particularly those who want to only deal with computers as appliances.
As for me – no, thanks. I do not want to depend on the Internet for my programs, and I want my data stored right here on my own computer. Sure, someone might break into my house and steal my computer, or someone may manage to get past my defenses and steal data, but both situations are a bit unlikely. I'll gladly take that risk in exchange for being able to work where I want, when I want, with my own software and data on my own computer.
Though such services have a pretty good up-time record, I would not be happy if I needed the on-line services and suddenly found that they were not available at the moment. I also don't much care for the fact that every company offering such services will be keeping track of usage, knowing what you accessed and used and when you did it. As "anonymous" as such information may (or may not) be, I'm getting a bit tired of losing privacy in my life. I would also be concerned that "someone" might be able to access my data – personal correspondence, financial info, whatever – without even knowing about it, authorized by law or not.
The ultimate reason that I will not personally be participating in the cloud computing culture is cost. Even though people claim that it could be cheaper to "rent" your software by using on-line versions versus buying a software package, I'm getting tired of renting stuff in my life. Once upon a time, television was free, as was radio. Yes, it still can be at the moment, but if you want a wider variety of programming you need to "rent" your television and radio from a provider. I don't begrudge a business providing a service that customers want, and I am willing to pay the price for services that I use, but I have no desire to keep adding to the list of things for which I need to budget money each month. These services may be "free" now, but I am more than willing to bet that they won't be for long.
Again – thanks, but no thanks – I will continue to keep my data on my own computer, and use the software that I have purchased (or obtained for free) without relying on the availability of the Internet. Perhaps I'm being a bit anachronistic, but I am what I am.

The Porpoise class was an eight-boat class of diesel-electric
submarines operated by the Royal Navy. This class was originally
designated patrol submarines, then attack. They were the first
conventional British submarines to be built after the end of World
War II. Their design was, in many ways, influenced by the German
WWII-era Type XXI U-boats.
The Porpoise class were larger but shorter than their T-class predecessors and used a much improved steel known as UXW. This, and improved design and construction techniques allowed much deeper diving. It was found in tests that the unusually long engine room was liable to collapse, so there were extra large frames in this section, which proved to be something of an operational inconvenience.
Designed with a top speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph), the boats were capable of 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph), or 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) once fitted with silenced propellers. However, quieter running was felt to be a positive trade off for the reduced speed. The Porpoise class were exceptionally quiet underwater, more so than their NATO counterparts and far more so than the Soviet Whiskeys. This was in part due to careful attention to detail in the mounting of machinery, and advances made in propeller design to prevent cavitation. Initially, the silenced propellers actually set up a distinctive resonant "singing", and it was said that Rorqual was once identified leaving the River Clyde from a listening station from Long Island. However, grooves were cut into the propellers and injected with a damping filler which cured the problem; Rorqual was later able to surface undetected off the Statue of Liberty. The silent running abilities made their sonar equipment particularly effective.
Each submarine's armament consisted of eight 21 in (530 mm) torpedo tubes; six in the bow, and two in the stern. Initially, up to 30 Mark 8 or Mark 23 torpedoes were carried, although these were replaced in the 1970s by the Mark 24 Tigerfish torpedo. The class were also the first since the World War I-era R-class to not carry a deck gun.
The Porpoises were far more capable than previous submarine classes in operating for prolonged periods, thanks to much improved air recirculation and cleaning systems. The class also performed excellently in clandestine operations, such as surveillance and inserting special forces.
The first Porpoise-class boats were launched in 1958 during the ever increasing threat of the Soviet Union's submarine fleet. The Porpoise class boats were all decommissioned by the 1980s. The Oberon-class submarines, which were almost identical to the Porpoises, and the first of which was commissioned in 1961, survived their predecessor only a little longer, all being decommissioned in the early 1990s.

Love for Moisturising Conditioner
What a fantastic shopping experience.
Amazing advice regarding the products, super quick first class delivery.
My daughter and I love the shampoo which feels so good. All the products we ordered smelled divine.
You only need a little of the conditioner which worked amazingly well on my daughters very long hair with many tangles.
Definitely worth it, thank you Therapi
Charmaine Smith
I love using the moisture conditioner with the hair towel. It's like applying a hair mask and leaves your hair so smooth
loving the brightening shampoo and the moisture conditioner, my hair feels amazing and I love the smell.
I was recommended Therapi signature cleanser and hydrating conditioner for my bonded hair extensions and I couldn't be happier with the results. My hair feels like new and is so silky and soft without feeling weighed down. I'm definitely converted from my usual kerastase products. They're so much cheaper too which is a bonus! The customer service I received from Jim too was amazing. I couldn't fault Therapi at all.

Back in the early 2000s, the mobile phone world was ruled by European companies. Everywhere you turned, European cell phone brands were present and highly visible.
I remember a number of names with fondness. At the top of the list was Nokia, the Finnish company that brought us some of the world's most popular phones and later smartphones. I was a fan of the Nokia Communicator series, and I owned a handful before they were eventually discontinued.
Nokia was the largest mobile phone company in the world for about a decade. It was a behemoth that commanded more clout than its next four competitors put together at the time.
From Sweden, Ericsson made some of the world's most loved phones back then – including, the Ericsson R320, Ericsson T320s, Ericsson R380, and Ericsson T68. I owned both the R320s and R380 at different times.
There was Siemens, the German company that brought us some solid top performers, includinmg Siemens SL45 and later S55 – along with a few interesting, if not quirky, mobile phone designs. Siemens Mobile was later acquired by Taiwanese BenQ in 2005. BenQ Mobile went defunct shortly after the acquisition.
And then, there was the French firm, Alcatel, which was well known for its trendy-looking budget phones. I remember the Alcatel 311 with fondness.
And who would forget Sendo, the British mobile phone maker that rocked the world with the Sendo X, a budget Symbian phone that was hot cake among young people for a while. The company is no longer in operation today.
I could go on for a little bit more in describing how Europe held sway in the uindustry between 2000 and 2010. But you are likely not here for the history lesson (interesting as it is). You are more likely here to find out which European mobile phone companies still exist; right?
Let me get to it right away then.
The Last European Cell Phone Brands Left Standing
There are no more than a handful of mobile phone companies left in operation, and most of them are small players – so small that they don't show up on any charts of regional or global smartphone marketshare.
But they exist and certain individuals prefer and use them. If you are searching for a European phone brand, here they are.
Nokia: Nokia Mobile is the largest European cell phone brand in existence today. While it is no longer as big as it used to be in its Hey days, the brand sells enough phones to show up on regional and global statistics. Nokia used to be the champion behind Symbian OS and later Windows Phone/Mobile. Today, its joint venture partner, HMD Global, makes Nokia phones running Android OS.
Fairphone. This is a Dutch phone brand with some global visibility, especially because of its commitment to producing eco-friendly smartphones. Fairphone devices run Android OS. It has a miniscule marketshare, but it is one of the most visible European cell phone brands on the global stage.
Gigaset is a German mobile phone brand. Almost every other European company listed here manufactures their devices in factories in China. Gigaset bucks the trend and manufactures their devices right there in the heart of Europe – in Germany. Their products are mostly home and office cordless phones, but they produce a small collection of budget Android-powered phones as well.
Philips Mobile has been around for a long time – since 1997 and producing phones since then. They have, however never not hit the big stage. Based in the Netherlands, Philips makes cordless phones and smartphones.
Spanish company, BQ, is relatively unknown and small, but they made up for it by offering tasty spices that most other mobile phone brands do not provide. For example, they made smartphones running Ubuntu Phone OS. One of them is the BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, which I still own till today.
But BQ also makes Android smartphones. I am including BQ on this list only because they were active up till 2020. As at the end of 2020, they had stopped making any more phones.
Wileyfox is a British mobile phone company that has struggled a lot in recent times, dying temporarily, and resurrected. There have been no news of any fresh releases in a while, so the company is likely still on a lifeline.
French company, Wiko, made a brave entry into the smartphone world and built a presence in over 30 countires, making it one of the largest European cell phone brands left standing.
AllView is not quite popular, but this Romanian company has been active in the smartphone market for some years and has a sizable chunk of its home country's marketshare.
Bullit Group of the United Kingdom is the company behind the range of rugged smartphones and feature phones under the Catphones brand name.
Mobile phone and smartphone history is a fascinating thing for me. Having been around since 2001 and watched the various transitions happen in the industry has been quite an experience.
Most smartphones sold in the world today are of Chinese origin and also made in China. If you have a preference for European taste, the companies listed on this page are the main European cell phone brands to explore. Note that most of them are made in China too. Only a few are manufactured in Europe.

[Closed] Somebody flagging some of my reviews as inappropriate but they are not ?
Dear all
I have contacted the help center, I understand that they are busy. Some of my reviews were flagged as inappropriate, while I never said anything bad or not respectful in the reviews concerned;
Did anybody had the issue too ? I found the mechanisms to flag reviews of others, but not how to contest if you were flagged as inappropriate by error ?
Those reviews have been removed from the public and I am not allowed to edit them anymore. I can understand that it happens once, but in the last months it happened repeatedly, while reviews that use offensive words or badmouth the translators, while they do such a good job stay in, without being flagged.
I would be grateful if somebody can help me out here ?

The Society of Christian Apologetics was founded in November of 2010 with the goal of increasing the interest in apologetics among Christians and facilitating the community of apologists in the greater Phoenix Arizona metropolitan area. The impetuous for starting this group was the visit by JP Moreland to Red Mountain Community Church.
Information on current organizers is below.
Joseph Ivy
I have been studying and applying Apologetics since 2001. It has proved to be a valuable mindset for evangelism, teaching, and personal spiritual health. My ministry background includes serving in children's church as a teacher, serving on media teams, a little acting in plays, street ministry, mentoring college students, and founding/organizing this group. Apologetics has proven for me to be a natural and effective expression of my relationship with God. I have a desire to aid Christians in developing a better thought-out and lived-out Christian faith.
I have earned an Associate degree from Glendale Community College, a Bachelor's degree in Business Leadership from Arizona State University, and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University. I have worked for the Maricopa Community College District since 1996. I am a member of Without Walls Church in Mesa, AZ.
Michael Mumpower
Apologetics is my passion. God used J.P. Moreland's book Love God with all Your Mind to change my life in August of 2001. I have not looked back. Since that time I have read and study over 1,000 books and articles on the subject. In 2010, Joseph and I founded Apologetics Arizona. We have been meeting monthly ever since. God has truly blessed me through this ministry.
My academic and professional background is in accounting, specifically in tax. I once had a Pastor ask "Why a Tax Accountant would be interested in Apologetics?" I responded by saying my job is to take the tax law, one of the most theoretical codes ever written by mankind, and apply it practically tell my clients how much money they owe the government. Applied theory to the extreme!
This is my approach with Apologetics. Once we understand the theory, true and arguments behind what we believe, applying them becomes much more natural. It is akin to being told to obey because I said so, instead of understanding why I am obeying. I find the latter to be more effective.
My pray and hope is you will be blessed through this website and ministry no matter who you are or what you believe. If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know.
Michael Mumpower
Michael has worked at Arizona State University in Financial Services since 2009. He graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in accounting from Arizona State University in 2007. A husband to Elizabeth since 2006 and currently has four children. Together they serve as licensed foster parents in the State of Arizona. Both are active member of Bethany Bible Church in Phoenix, AZ.

I was going to try and think of a funny joke to play, but I could really only think of one and I didn't want the bf to have a heart attack when this post was emailed to him. So instead I'll just ask, anyone playing any good April fools jokes this year? Last year my friend and co-worker, Ashley, put pieces of tape on the bottom of everyone's mouse so that they wouldn't work. She cracked herself up for awhile about that, our boss didn't find it very funny.
I had a dentist appointment after work last night, I really, really hate the dentist. I still have a retainer cemented to the back of my bottom teeth from the end of my braces days, and they never leave it alone. I swear the lady always spends a good 15 minutes picking at it with that stupid metal thing. Metal, on metal, on teeth is not a good noise, or feeling. Also, I need two more fillings. In the past year, I have already gotten six. Yes, six fillings in one year. I went 22 years of life without a single cavity, and then my teeth decided to crap out on me. The funny thing? When the dentist came in to look at them, his first words were, "Wow you have really nice teeth". Ok, then why do every single one of them have a filling? The good news is the newest two fillings aren't for cavities, apparently I managed to chip both of the left side molars. No idea how that happened, but whatev. I'll just wave goodbye to $150.
Alright enough biotching and moaning from me, I made myself go to the gym after the dentist and am glad I did. I like swimming, but it felt good to get on the elliptical last night and break a sweat. I did 35 min on the elliptical, sprinting to the refrains in songs. Then I did some stretching and plank work for the old abdominals. PT tonight, so probably no workout, which is kind of the one thing about this that is bumming me out. Two days a week for the next month I'll be in PT which means I'm losing two workout days. I've already been struggling to not gain weight since I stopped running, and I have gained a few lbs, and now this is going to reduce my workout time even more. Ugh. I know once I can start running again everything will even itself out, but in the meantime I'm afraid my clothes from last summer won't fit 😦 . Wow, even when I say I'm going to stop complaining I don't, ok I swear moving on.
My sister is home for her Easter break, so last night we had a nice little family dinner. I talked about this recipe before on the blog, but I didn't put it together so I didn't have any real pictures or ingredients to give you, so I present again Weeknight Lasagna.
I put a thin layer of Vodka sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish and laid out the Spinach ravioli.
Followed by a layer of defrosted frozen spinach and mozzarella cheese.
Then topped with the package of Lobster ravioli.
And another layer of sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10 minutes. Enjoy with a bottle of Chianti, like this one.
Isn't that a pretty bottle? I really like it. After cooking let the "lasagna" sit and cool for five minutes before serving. My sister and I crowded around the stove and just kind of stared at it for the whole five minutes.
After what felt like forever, we dished it up and served it along side some chicken that had baked in marinara sauce.
Looks messy, but it was still fantastic. Again, as with everything I make soooo much is leftover. I need to learn how to cook in smaller portions. Alright well that is all from me this morning. I'm super jealous of everyone that has off tomorrow, I will be dragging my butt to work in the gorgeous 80 degree weather that is in the forecast. Since today is "Friday" for some people, any good weekend plans? I'm off to NYC tomorrow to have dinner with the bf's family on Saturday night, and then we're both headed back down here for Easter dinner with my family on Sunday. Busy, busy weekend. Have a great day!

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
One of the knocks on porn movies is how fake the females' orgasms are. Well, at I Feel Myself that's exactly what they're fighting against by filling the site with "The beauty of authentic female orgasm beautifully filmed and tastefully presented." All kinds of females show us what they look like as they take themselves to orgasm - sometimes with the help of another girl. The site has been going strong for years and is now bigger and better than ever.
Get ready for 4,775 orgasmic scenes featuring amateurs taking themselves to a true and beautiful orgasm. Some use toys, others use another girl to help them reach those high levels of pleasure. There are slim girls, curvy babes, older women, gals who look like pornstars and others who look like the girl next door. It's arousing to see how each girl works herself to orgasm - what they rub, how they rub, what they sound and look like as their pleasure increases. Besides the orgasm videos, there are video diaries, profile vids as well as a mix of studio and homemade movies. Plus, they're adding at least one new video every day, sometimes two.
Most of the Movies are HD
Let's put it this way. There are 398 pages of content and about 300 of those pages have HD to Full HD movies, which is great. You can stream and download MP4 files.
A Great User Experience
The site looks a little busy at first glance, but the design is pretty good and the overall user experience is great. First off is full pagination by which I mean there's a one-click link to every page on the site. You can sort the collection and the videos can be filtered by numerous options including favorites, studio, homemade, video diary, up close and a bunch more.
Other Good Stuff:
Minor Negatives:
A top site in the real-women-having-real-orgasms niche.
Put all your preconceived notions about fake orgasms aside and check out the incredibly real and beautiful females and orgasms on I Feel Myself. There is a ton of exclusive content, more is being added every day and most of the videos are high in quality. Sure, there are a couple negatives, but overall this is a sexy site with a great user experience that's worth checking out.

MIAMI, June 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perry Ellis International (NASDAQ:PERY) ("Perry Ellis" or the "Company") today announced it has entered into a definitive merger agreement under which a newly formed entity controlled by George Feldenkreis, Perry Ellis' founder and member of the Company's Board of Directors, will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Perry Ellis not already beneficially owned by the Feldenkreis family for $27.50 per share in cash. Additionally, the Company and George Feldenkreis have agreed to defer the next annual meeting for the election of directors while the merger agreement is pending.
The purchase price represents a premium of approximately 21.6 percent to Perry Ellis' unaffected closing stock price on February 5, 2018, the last trading day prior to George Feldenkreis announcing his proposal to take the Company private. The transaction is valued at approximately $437 million.
The transaction was unanimously approved by the Perry Ellis Board of Directors, acting on the unanimous recommendation of a Special Committee of independent directors that was granted full authority to conduct a comprehensive strategic review and evaluate and, if warranted, negotiate the Feldenkreis acquisition proposal.
"The Special Committee and its advisors conducted a disciplined and independent process to ensure the best outcome to maximize value for shareholders. We believe, upon the closing, that this transaction delivers an immediate cash premium and is in the best interest of all Perry Ellis shareholders," said J. David Scheiner, Non-Executive Chairman of the Perry Ellis Board of Directors and Chair of the Special Committee.
"I believe this transaction will open an exciting new chapter for Perry Ellis, our customers and employees. The markets the Company competes in have undergone transformative changes and I believe that Perry Ellis' ability to invest and innovate is limited by the short-term pressures of being a public company. The transaction delivers immediate value to shareholders amid an environment of unprecedented disruption and competition. I am confident that as a private company, Perry Ellis will be best positioned to make investments in digital innovation, artificial intelligence and marketing, that support our long term strategy to grow the Company's powerful global lifestyle brands, while expanding into higher-margin businesses and channels of distribution, including international, direct-to-consumer and licensing," said George Feldenkreis, founder and Director of Perry Ellis.
"Since its founding, Perry Ellis has been a renowned influencer of fashion and a magnet for highly creative individuals and brands. The completion of this transaction will enable Perry Ellis to preserve the integrity of its infrastructure and business units across the United States and abroad. Our partners should benefit from our enhanced ability to make long term investments in brands, technology and innovation while continuing to remain focused on executing on our long term growth strategy. Perry Ellis intends to be at the forefront of the crucial digital transformation of the apparel industry from marketing to e-commerce, to applications of artificial intelligence," said Oscar Feldenkreis, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
"Fortress is delighted to support the founding family of Perry Ellis in a transaction that positions the business for growth and success in the years to come," said Josh Pack, Managing Partner of Fortress Investment Group.
Following completion of the transaction, Oscar Feldenkreis will continue to lead the company as Chief Executive Officer. George Feldenkreis, Director and Founder, will return to an active role in the management of the Company. Perry Ellis will continue to be headquartered in Miami, Florida. Upon close, Perry Ellis will become a privately held company and Perry Ellis common shares will no longer be listed or traded on any public market.
The transaction will be financed through a Senior Secured Asset Backed Revolving Loan Facility underwritten by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a $282 million multi-tranche term financing facility provided by Fortress Credit Advisors LLC and equity provided by the Feldenkreis family.
The transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of calendar year 2018, is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and approvals, including approval by Perry Ellis shareholders (including a majority of the shares owned by shareholders other than the Feldenkreis family or any officers or directors of the Company), receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
PJ SOLOMON is serving as financial advisor to the Special Committee, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and Akerman LLP are serving as the Special Committee's legal counsel, and Innisfree M&A Incorporated is serving as the Company's proxy solicitor. SCOPE Advisors LLC is serving as financial advisor to the group led by George Feldenkreis, and Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP and Proskauer Rose LLP are serving as legal advisor to the group led by George Feldenkreis. Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson is serving as legal counsel to Oscar Feldenkreis. Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal advisor to Fortress Credit Advisors LLC and its affiliates.

I've written before about the glow I get from an empty inbox, but yesterday a couple of beloved colleagues asked me to re-visit my strategies for managing my email and avoiding inbox overwhelm.
Here there are. Warning: They are draconian, enter at your own risk and be prepared for some characteristic plain talking, I take no prisoners.
My Goal? An empty inbox by bedtime, every day, without fail, 7 days a week. Yup, told ya. No prisoners.
My work IS my email, mainly. So I have to be very efficient with it. I have it open all day and some of the evening, I deal with most of it as it comes in and I clear it all every day. At bedtime, anything left in my inbox is something I haven't done yet and propose to do tomorrow; these are rare exceptions to my rule. If I haven't decided what to do about something, how to handle it, how to respond, then that's a reason for it lingering in my inbox for up to 24 hours while I sleep on it. If I have no intention of doing anything about it, I am decisive and it gets deleted. Decisive is good. This is about good and fast decision-making as much as anything. Be brave.
You have first to master the principle of Scan/Delete; scan everything and if you are not going to read it today or action it imminently, delete it with impunity. Everything important comes back.
Give up trying to be on top of all the information in the world and viciously unsubscribe from anything you cannot read today. See also Enough Already! Unsubscribing Is A State of Mind.
Do not save or file anything "in case" and do not print emails. A great deal of what comes to us in our inbox is also on the web too so can be found again with a simple Google search on the few words you can remember. This applies to most newsletters to which you are subscribed. If it says up the top "see this in your browser" that's a sure sign you can read it online and don't have to read it in your email. Google (or your preferred search engine) has the answer to almost anything.
A better way to reduce inbox clutter than by subscribing to receive email newsletters is to follow the person first on Twitter and/or Facebook so you don't lose touch and will occasionally be reminded of them, and/or to subscribe to their blogs and other content in your RSS reader which content you can then read on your iPad or equivalent via an App like Feedly. I am sure there are others. Sorry to the internet marketers of the world, but these days there are more convenient and just all-round better ways for me to engage with your content than in my inbox.
- More is not better, less is infinitely superior. The quality of the attention you can bring to that which is really important to you justifies your time and brings peace of mind
- Not everything requires a reply.
- Only engage with what is vital, urgent or important, trash everything else.
- One day's work for one woman is all you can process today. If you can't clear your inbox by bedtime, then it's more than one day's work and you have to let something go, mainly the **** stuff. Delete and unsubscribe until you can do all your emails in a day, most days.
- Information overload is just more clutter and clutter stands between you and being creative and successful.
- Your delete button is your best friend. I have my Deleted and Sent boxes set up so that I can look things up again if I was slightly too hasty with my trigger finger on the delete button; 'tis better to go looking for a rarity in Deleted than have it clogging up mental clarity in Inbox.

GOG's Updated Refund Policy…Is Insane
Taking GOG's Updated Refund Policy at face value, this will be a money losing venture for that company. It will definitely be abused by gamers. I will abuse it.
"Everyone at GOG believes in a 'gamers-first' approach. It means that every part of our store is designed with gamers in mind and your purchase safety and satisfaction come first for us. The latest update to our voluntary Refund Policy adds another piece to this customer-friendly experience. And it all sums up in one sentence: starting now, you can get a full refund up to 30 days after purchasing a product, even if you downloaded, launched, and played it. That's it." – GOG.COM
This is taking things too far. It's one thing to be uber-cool with the kids and being consumer first…But, dont be ridiculous. Humanity on a whole is inherently corrupt and we will abuse this new policy.
I think the reality of humanity will force an update to this Updated Refund Policy but hopefully not before I purchase Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG.COM, play it and refund it. That's it.

RE: Bob Hook
Ooh, I like that quote. It holds humans more accountable for their actions as well, which I think why so many people are afraid of it. It's a scary thing to rely solely on yourself rather than destiny and superstitions, yet the Greeks began forming this kind of thought. And as you said, it gives us even more freedom to enjoy those aspects of life. I enjoyed your response.

Van de Velde looking to shake off rust
In some circles, he could be a verb.
Out playing with buddies, someone blows up on the final hole and you might hear, "Jimmy Van de Velded the 18th and I won by two shots."
It's hard to believe it was 17 Julys ago when an unheralded Frenchman played 71 holes of splendid golf and was on the cusp of a British Open title until … well, let's get to that later.
On Wednesday, Jean Van de Velde looked like the most relaxed person at En-Joie Golf Course during the Dick's Sporting Goods Open Pro-Am. He interacted often with his amateur partners, anyone who sought an autograph received one, and didn't seem all that bothered by wayward tee shots, most of which leaked to the right. He just went about his business.
Wearing a beret backward, Van de Velde spoke English to his partners and French to his caddie.
Sometimes, the French dialect makes its way into his English. When reading a putt for a teammate on the fourth hole, he said, "Right to left a little beet."
Good shots or holed putts received fist bumps or taps on the shoulder from Van de Velde. A grounder by a teammate often was followed by, "Don't worry about that."
There didn't seem to be a lick of big-time to his personality.
His outward easiness belies the chore he's set up for himself this week. The last time he played as a touring pro came in 2011. Since then, he said he's played about 10 to 20 casual rounds per year. When he tees off at 1:15 p.m. Friday with Kirk Triplett and Craig Stadler for the opening round of the Dick's Open, it'll be his debut on the PGA Tour Champions on a course he first played Wednesday.
Moreover, since his retirement in 2011, he's spent the last five years running the French Open, a European Tour event held last week. He didn't fly out until Tuesday.
"I have zero expectations how well I can swing the club," he said during a media conference Wednesday afternoon. "I have to have low standards."
Of his confidence level, Van de Velde added: "I don't think it has risen from the ground, yet. It's very, very low. The confidence in my abilities is higher than that."
And so this will be a process for Van de Velde, who turned 50 two months ago. He showed glimpses late in his round, stuffing a wedge to two feet on the second hole for birdie, but added he needs to work on his chipping and putting, and practice more before he'll be competitive. Van de Velde said over the next three to five years, he'd like to play between 15-17 times per season on the PGA Tour Champions.
"You miss the adrenaline that goes with competing and that's not a thing that goes away all that easily," said Van de Velde, winner of two European Tour events and a member Europe's Ryder Cup team in 1999. "Unfortunately, my clubs aren't really listening right now."
The reason Van de Velde's name is among the most recognizable of those playing this week, even to many who don't follow the sport closely, is because of what he nearly accomplished at Carnoustie, Scotland in the summer of 1999. Playing what was arguably the most difficult layout in major championship history, Van de Velde overcame the wind, tight fairways, thick rough and wicked hazards beautifully.
On a course that yielded an average score of 78.31 for the week, Van de Velde played the first three rounds in even par and had a five-shot lead over fellow Dick's Open competitor Craig Parry and Justin Leonard. For the week, there were 102 scores in the 80s and two in the 90s. When a then 19-year-old Sergio Garcia left Friday, he was 30 strokes on the wrong side of par.
The cut fell at 12 over.
"That was a brutal week," said Van de Velde, adding that the wind that week allowed him to hit a 6-iron 275 yards.
Van de Velde still had a three-shot cushion when he arrived at the 18th tee Sunday. What followed was a cover-your-eyes stretch of golf that made Van de Velde a household name.
His triple-bogey, capped by a fist-pumping 8-foot putt, put him into a four-hole playoff with Paul Lawrie and Leonard. Lawrie won the playoff and Van de Velde joined infamous sports figures such as Bill Buckner, Scott Norwood and Chris Webber on a list no wants to be a part.
"It was an exceptional week," Van de Velde said.
And where is this year's Senior British Open being held? Carnoustie.
"I will definitely join the action over there," he said of a tournament to be held July 21-24.
Until then, it'll be about sharpening a game that has plenty of rust. He might be wise to follow some advice he gave to one of his pro-am partners, who faced a 155-yard approach into the fifth hole.
"Something right next to the hole would be good," Van de Velde joked.

Thursday 31st July 2008
It was raining this morning, only the torrential stuff same as normal, in fact we have had so much of the stuff that we have now had more than the average rainfall for July.
The Café appears to be getting a good name round town, on two occasions today we had ladies tell us that they had come in because they have heard good reports about the place.
The Pie, Mash and Gravy is going down well although we haven't really advertised it yet, we don't think we'll try doing Pie, Mash and Liquor with Jellied Eels though, the locals would run a mile.
We had another load of wood for the wood burner delivered today, there goes another rain forest.
In the evening the kids went to bed early while we watched a film, Payback with Mel Gibson.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Apple Computer Inc. ranked as one of the most heavily traded stocks in the after-hours session on Wednesday following a published report that suggested some company officials may have falsified stock-option documents to maximize profit for executives.
The Nasdaq-100 After Hours Indicator, which tracks evening trading of the index's leading technology stocks, closed down 0.17 points at 1,763.24.
The company's shares fell as much as 5% in early trading after a report said that federal prosecutors are examining stock-options documents to determine whether criminal charges should be filed.
The story also said that Chief Executive Steve Jobs has decided to hire his own attorney to deal with inquiries by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report was from the California legal newspaper the Recorder, and appeared on the Web site Law.com.
Apple shares recovered later in the day after a few analysts said the possible development shouldn't hurt the company or Jobs. See full story.

The Community Loses A Man Who Gave His Best!
By Times Staff Writer
Columbus, Georgia – A Man Who Gave His Best The handsome Sherman Peebles was only 49 years old when he died. His life was so filled with volunteer activities and giving back to the communities, we could easily say he "lived several lifetimes." He was so admired, appreciated and loved that his Celebration of Life ceremony was held at the Columbus Civic Center Ice Rink on Friday, October 1, 2021.
Although the Corona Virus was still active, the Celebration of Life Ceremony was held in compliance with the CDC guidelines.
What kind of person was Sherman? His devoted and lovely wife ShiVanda described him as "someone special." She went on to say: "He always had a spirit of giving; he was always giving back and in a loving way." She continued, "If someone needed help, a word of encouragement or prayer, he was always there. He worked a lot but he was there if a youth needed support at a given event." In addition to being a husband of 20 years, Sherman was a father, son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson and a friend to many. Mrs. Peebles added they received cards, flowers, food, donations, prayers and visits when people learned of Mr. Peebles' death. Several judges sent condolences to the family. His wife lovingly summed up what Sherman Peebles, her husband, was like when she concluded: "He would absolutely do for others."
In the program Order of Service in Mr. Peebles' Celebration of Life Ceremony, Mr. Gerald Riley was introduced as his best friend. Mr. Riley said about Sherman, "He couldn't have been more of a brother than my biological brothers. We knew each other for 23 years. We met at O.J.'s Barber Shop and have been friends for the last 23 years." Mr. Riley went on to say: "we started at O.J.'s Barber Shop, went to Riley's Barber Shop and worked together at Overflo to Overflo at Midtown until this year." In remembrance of Mr. Sherman Peebles, Overflo Beauty and Barber Shop had a display on their business window with a bevy of pictures giving those who viewed the photographs an idea of what Sherman Peebles was like. Inside their impressive shop was an enlarged portrait of Mr. Sherman Peebles.
Another important person in Mr. Peebles' life was Mrs. Catosha Riley, the wife of Mr. Gerald Riley. She said: "Sherman had more sisters than anyone in Columbus because he had no biological sisters." She knew his dedication because when Overflo Barber Shop did free haircuts during back-to-school activities, Sherman was one of the volunteer barbers.
Muscogee County Deputy Sheriff Sherman Peebles became the Sergeant over Court Services; and he served in the Department for over 20 years. He was a very familiar face in law enforcement as well as outside of law enforcement. He was seen all over the area and some youth knew him as Uncle Sherman. He was a trained barber at Overflo Beauty and Barber Shop, working with his best friend, Mr. Gerald Riley. He and his beautiful wife were seen at the Summerfest, sponsored by The Columbus Times Newspaper, where they supplied the popcorn machine, the cotton candy machine and the jumpy house; the annual event was given at the Frank Chester Recreation Center. Sherman and his wife, ShiVanda, were wonderful to work with and we will always cherish knowing Sherman.
The formal Celebration of Life in honor of Mr. Sherman Peebles took place at the Columbus Civic Center Ice Rink. Officiating was Rev. J. H. Flakes III, Pastor, Fourth Street Missionary Baptist Church, and Presiding was Rev. Michael Sherman, Jr., Chaplain, Muscogee County Sheriff Department. Prefatory Remarks were made by Rev. Michael Sherman, Sr. The Invocation was done by Rev. Donavon Coley. Scriptures – Old Testament was said by Rev. Mark Lawrence and the New Testament by Pastor Delta Outley. A Song was delivered by Ms. Tacara Hemmingway. Reflections came from: (1) Co-workers—Mr. Bayse Bourne III, Mr. Michallee Williams, and Mr. Clinton Powell; Father's Pastor-Rev. Ernest Sneed; Brothers-Mr. Darrell Peebles, Mr. Thomas Streeter, Sr.; and Best Friend-Mr. Gerald Riley. Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman represented the Muscogee County Sheriff Department. Next was the Presentation of Colors and Final Call.
The Continuing of the Order of Service was at Evergreen Memorial Park Cemetery, 4500 St. Mary's Road, Columbus, Georgia. Fourth Street Missionary Baptist Church (FSMBC) took part. Ms. Jackie McCall Clerk did the Reading of FSMBC Resolution. Presentations by FSMBC Deacons and Deacons' Wives was next—Chair of Deacons-Deacon Dorsey Stancil and Chair of Deacons' Wives-Ms. Laura Dickerson. There were four other parts to the service—Eulogy/Words of Comfort, Committal, Closing Prayer and Benediction (all handled by Rev. J.H. Flakes III). The Pallbearers were Mr. Sherman's fellow Sheriff Deputies and Nephews. The Honorary Pallbearers were his Brothers. The Floral Attendants were Family Members and Friends.

Please note, ZagsBlog is the only outlet reporting that Keon Lawrence will be reinstated Monday, citing "multiple sources close to the situation."
Seton Hall junior guard Keon Lawrence will be reinstated Monday, according to multiple sources close to the situation. Lawrence would be eligible to play in Seton Hall's next game Nov. 28 at home against LIU.Oh boy. Slick move by the SHU administration "leaking" the news during the game tonight. Prepare for the media onslaught. I will update my thoughts regarding this later. However, for now, enjoy the win as there will be plenty of time to discuss the Keon Lawrence situation and SHU's punishment or lack thereof, in the weeks to come.

These homeowners used their dark, shadowy basement as a laundry room & mancave. hey were searching for ideas that would provide a much more inviting mancave getaway. We used ZenWall to brighten the atmosphere and make it an enjoyable space to play & watch television, creating a seperate room for laundry.
This family was looking to enlarge their livable space and did so by having us finish the cold, dark basement area. It totally transformed the unfinished basement into a bright, clean and livable environment for their kids to enjoy. The homeowners decided to go with our Paintable Panel System accented by our Linen Ceiling Tiles and ThermalDry Floor System in the beautiful Sandstone color.
Years of moisture and peeling paint are reflected on these damaged walls. Our BrightWall panels and SaniDry system were the answer. This family can now enjoy their basement again!
This homeowner knew she wanted to make the basement entrance way be inviting and look great with the new walls, floors, ceiling and stairs that we installed in her basement. Also, with this new insulated entrance door- it is not only safe and secure, but completely functional and looks great too.
This basement floor covering was too cold and uneven for the homeowner to enjoy. We installed a beautiful new floor using our Thermal Dry Elite Plank flooring in the Light Pecan color. It is amazing and she can even use her wheelchair without any issues!
