Subscribe To Terry Gilliam's Watchmen Would Have Been 'Much, Much Better' Updates
I've already subscribed
Hey, remember Watchmen? Yeah, that was a movie that existed. For years, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' landmark DC comic was considered unfilmable, flummoxing a number of people who attempted to bring it to the screen. Ultimately, Zack Snyder did, literalizing it in a way that preserved a chunk of the interesting stories within, but ultimately deadening the subtext and sacrificing key points for the sake of spectacle. Heck, people are still apologizing for it. It's not the worst Watchmen adaptation we could have had. And it wasn't the strangest, given the intentions of original producer Joel Silver.
Silver purchased the property in the 80's and got to work with Terry Gilliam on adapting the material, which Gilliam later conceded was best left to a miniseries instead of a film. Ultimately they recruited Sam Hamm, the writer of Batman, to pen a script that deviated far from the source material. And in promoting his latest film Non Stop to Coming Soon, Silver revealed just how unique their Watchmen movie would be.
"It was a MUCH much better movie. Oh God. I mean, Zack came at it the right way but was too much of a slave to the material… What he did was he told the story as-is, but instead of the whole notion of the intergalactic thing which was too hard and too silly, what he did was he maintained that the existence of Doctor Manhattan had changed the whole balance of the world economy, the world political structure. He felt that THAT character really altered the way reality had been. He had the Ozymandias character convince, essentially, the Doctor Manhattan character to go back and stop himself from being created, so there never would be a Doctor Manhattan character. He was the only character with real supernatural powers, he went back and prevented himself from being turned into Doctor Manhattan, and in the vortex that was created after that occurred these characters from 'Watchmen' only became characters in a comic book."
Well then. Snyder's film, and approach, made sense considering that ultimately he was working within the rubric of superhero movies, which limited his approach somehow. Hamm's script, coming off his bizarre take on Batman (have you SEEN Batman lately? Strange) was still working within the genre of science fiction, so the very notion of time travel that severe makes sense, as does the idea of turning the heroes sad, pathetic Times Square pretenders, as he says in the link. It's a tragic ending, one that Snyder didn't opt for, given that your lasting memory from his picture is those characters in their suits, kicking ass.
One could see how that ending is a cop out of sorts, basically erasing the film from history. But it seems that Hamm, in line with his approach to Batman as a sloppy catalyst of danger and destruction, viewed superheroes with a jaundiced eye, and that the ending would have validated superheroes as juvenile fantasies borne from the imaginations of only a few talented people (in this case, Jon Osterman, the first meta-human to take up crime-fighting). Snyder, who went on to give the same reverent treatment to Man of Steel, probably made the friendlier version in keeping with the spirit of the material's origins. Gilliam, Silver and Hamm's would have torn it apart. Which version would you prefer?

This is the big asteroid that passed by the Earth last week
This monster is Toutatis. Toutatis is 4.8 km long and came within 4.3 million miles of the Earth. That might sound far but considering thats 18 times the distance that the Moon is from the Earth, that`s close, celestially speaking. During it`s flyby NASA trained their Deep Space Network antenna at it and captured these radar images.
From NASA:
"This 64-frame movie of asteroid Toutatis was generated from data by Goldstone's Solar System Radar on Dec. 12 and 13, 2012.
NASA detects, tracks and characterizes asteroids and comets passing close to Earth using both ground- and space-based telescopes. The Near-Earth Object Observations Program, commonly called "Spaceguard," discovers these objects, characterizes a subset of them, and plots their orbits to determine if any could be potentially hazardous to our planet.
JPL manages the Near-Earth Object Program Office for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena."
close, but it was never expected to be a threat

An increasing number of products containing chemical substances are being treated to prevent such effects as bacterial growth and bad odour. Everything from clothing and chopping boards to cat litter and toilet seats may have been treated with these pesticides which are known as biocides. The product may be marked with the wording "treated to prevent bad odours", "for lasting freshness", "anti-odour", "hygienic protection" or "antimicrobial". However, antibacterial treatment is not usually needed in these everyday items. It has been shown, for instance, that ordinary cleaning agent and water for removing dirt mechanically work better on an untreated kitchen worktop than they do on a worktop which has been treated with an antibacterial agent.
Antibacterial substances are suspected of helping to promote resistance against antibiotics. This means that the bacteria develop new mechanisms for resisting the effects of antibiotics. This can in turn mean that certain illnesses are harder or else impossible to treat. Triclosan, triclocarban and silver are examples of these antibacterial substances. It has also been shown to harm the bacteria needed for treating water in treatment plants.
The Swedish Chemicals Agency has arranged an inspection of how fast antibacterial substances against sweat odour in textiles can be washed out. The inspection showed that after ten washes between 10 and 98 percent of the substances had been washed out. Until we know more about how these substances can damage health and the environment, we ought to consider whether we really need such products.
The EU regulations on biocides mean that products which are claimed to have an antibacterial effect should be labelled, and that the name of the substance producing the claimed effect should be stated in the labelling.
Ask in the shop what the product contains so that you can make a conscious choice.
Antibacterial treatment of clothes - does it really have an effect? PM 8/15.
Antibacterial substances leach from clothing when washed. PM 1/12.
What would a more far-reaching antibiotic resistance, climate change and a rapid energy transition entail for societal security? (the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, MSB)

Samsung Galaxy Nexus SuperAMOLED comes with PenTile matrix
Samsung Galaxy Nexus SuperAMOLED comes with PenTile matrix
Despite the 720p resolution on the Galaxy Nexus,the device actually is not packing a Super AMOLED Plus, but a regular Super AMOLED screen. Those of you that have been paying more attention would even know what the main difference between the two is that the "Plus" AMOLED uses a conventional 3-subpixel-per-pixel RGB matrix, while the regular one goes by with 2-subpixel-per-pixel RGBG PenTile matrix.
So the Samsung Galaxy Nexus should come with one of those PenTile matrices, Well, as our macro shots showed yes. The question remains if that really matters here.
As you can see from the close-up photo of the Galaxy Nexus display, each of its pixels consists of a green sub-pixel and either a double-sized blue or a double-sized red sub-pixels. So even if the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has higher pixel count than any other smartphone on the market its sub-pixel count is identical to that of the iPhone 4S/4 Retina.

Leaving beau Garrett Hedlund behind, Kirsten Dunst recently headed to Mexico, where she planned a special getaway for her best friend, Molly, who's getting married.
Dunst, the bride-to-be and four bridesmaids all stayed at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, where they kicked off the bachelorette party in a festive way, sipping margaritas while donning sombreros.
"Kirsten booked a three-night stay in the Presidential suite," a source tells PEOPLE. "She hosted a champagne ritual in Molly's honor on the first night of their stay."
The second day of the gals' extravaganza was more mellow.
"After morning yoga on the beach, Kirsten and her friends spent the next day laying out by their pool," the source says. "But the highlight was that night, when Kirsten arranged a special sunset BBQ."
For their final day, the ladies relaxed at the spa. "Kirsten took everyone for customized massages," the source says. "That night, the group ventured into town for dinner at local favorite, Si Senor."

Domestic Violence Attorneys Palm Beach and Broward County
Pursuant to Florida Statute 741.28, Domestic Violence means "any assault, aggravated assault, battery, aggravated battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, aggravated stalking, kidnapping, false imprisonment, or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death of one family or household member by another family or household member."
"A family or household member means spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage, persons who are presently residing together as if a family or who have resided together in the past as if a family, and persons who are parents of a child in common regardless of whether they have been married. With the exception of persons who have a child in common, the family or household members must be currently residing or have in the past resided together in the same single dwelling unit."
Pursuant to Florida Statute 741.2901(2), "it is the Legislature's intent that domestic violence be treated as a criminal act rather than a private matter. For that reason, criminal prosecution shall be the favored method of enforcing compliance with injunctions for protection against domestic violence. The state attorney in each circuit shall adopt a pro-prosecution policy for acts of domestic violence. The filing, non-filing, or diversion of criminal charges, for charges of domestic violence shall be determined by specialized prosecutors over the objection of the victim, if necessary."
Prosecutors treat domestic violence very seriously, and will go above and beyond to secure convictions. Prosecutors are reluctant to dismiss domestic violence charges or impose the minimum sanctions.
Penalties for Domestic Violence Battery
Although domestic violence battery is only a first degree misdemeanor, domestic violence battery is punished more severely than simple battery. The following are the minimum penalties that a court must impose for a defendant convicted of domestic violence battery.
- A defendant must be placed on probation for 12 months.
- A defendant must complete the 26 week Batterers' Intervention Program as a condition of the probation, unless the court states on the record why a batterers' intervention program might inappropriate.
- A defendant must be ordered to pay a $201 domestic violence surcharge. $85 dollars out of the $201 dollars will be deposited into the Domestic Violence Trust Fund.
- A defendant must be ordered to pay a $151 rape crisis fee to be deposited into the Rape Crisis Program Trust Fund.
- A defendant shall have no contact with the victim during the defendant's probation.
- If a defendant is adjudicated guilty of a crime of domestic violence, and the defendant has intentionally caused bodily harm to another person, the court shall order the defendant to serve a minimum of 5 days in the county jail as part of the sentence imposed.
Domestic Violence Charges and First Appearance
Pursuant to Florida Statute 741.2901(3), when a defendant is arrested for an act of domestic violence, the defendant shall be held in custody until brought before the court for admittance to bail. In determining bail, the court shall consider the safety of the victim, the victim's children, and any other person who may be in danger if the defendant is released.
For many crimes, a Defendant is allowed to "bond out" prior to First Appearance. A person arrested for domestic violence is not allowed to "bond out" prior to First Appearance. The judge must review the arresting officer's report, make a probable cause determination, and set bond by applying the relevant law and considering the above listed factors.
The First Appearance judge will also impose a no contact order, a type of injunction, as a condition of the defendant's pre-trial release. This means that the defendant cannot have any direct or indirect contact with the alleged victim. A defendant cannot text, write, e-mail, call, or visit the alleged victim. A defendant cannot ask another person to contact the alleged victim. However, if the defendant and alleged victim have children, the judge may allow third party contact for purposes of communicating about children. A defendant who violates the no contact order by having direct or indirect contact with alleged victim violates one of the pre-trial release conditions. The violation of pre-trial release may cause the First Appearance judge to estreat (or revoke) the bond, preventing the defendant from leaving custody until his or her case is resolved. Additionally, the State may file a new charge for Violation of Pre-Trial Release conditions, a first degree misdemeanor.
How can I lift the No Contact Order?
It is important to remember that only a judge can lift the no contact order. A no contact order is typically lifted by an attorney filing a "Motion to Lift the No Contact Order." This motion will then be set for hearing at the courthouse. Notice of the hearing will be sent to the alleged victim in the case. The victim must be present for the judge to entertain the motion. The judge will not lift the no contact order unless the alleged victim is in agreement. Additionally, the judge does not have to lift the no contact order even if the victim wants it to be lifted. The judge may lift the no contact order completely, allowing lawful contact between the defendant and the alleged victim.
What happens at the hearing to lift the No Contact Order?
During the hearing, the defense attorney will ask the victim several questions, including:
- Is the victim currently in fear of the defendant?
- Does the victim want the Defendant to move back into the home?
- Does the victim want the Defendant to be able to have full contact, or restricted contact?
The judge will listen to the alleged victim's answers, observe his or her demeanor and make a decision regarding lifting the no contact order.
What if the alleged victim wants the charges to be dropped?
Many people believe that the victim decides whether to "drops charges." This is incorrect. Only the Assistant State Attorney assigned to the case has the power to drop the charges. The judge can't drop charges either. The Assistant State Attorney may consider the participation of a victim in the prosecution of their case, but ultimately the decision rests with the Assistant State Attorney. If a particular defendant has a history of violence, the Assistant State Attorney is very likely to proceed to trial with only an independent witness (police officer, friend, family member) to the domestic violence crime.
Do the charges get dropped if the victim refuses to testify?
Not necessarily. In many cases, the Assistant State Attorney does not need the victim to testify to prove the State's case. For example, if there was an independent witness to a battery, the State can prove their case without the victim's testimony.
Can a Domestic Violence charge be sealed or expunged?
No. Pursuant to Florida Statute 943.059, any conviction for a crime of domestic violence (including domestic violence battery), cannot be sealed or expunged. This law applies to situations where a defendant received a withhold of adjudication for a crime of domestic violence. Therefore, it is very important to consult a criminal defense attorney who will explore all possible defenses, and who may be able to get the charge dismissed or reduced.
Defenses to Domestic Violence Battery
The most common defenses to Domestic Violence Battery are that either the defendant didn't commit a battery at all, or that the defendant committed the battery, but acted in self-defense. Every case is different and requires the experience of a criminal defense attorney to ask the correct questions and apply the appropriate defense or defenses.
A criminal defense attorney may consider: Is the defendant claiming self-defense? If so, what are the relative physical capabilities and capacities of the defendant and the victim? Does the victim have a reputation for being violent and dangerous?
Is there 911 audio? Can any of the audio be redacted for various evidentiary reasons? Are there photographs of the victim's injuries? Do the photographs corroborate the victim's sworn statement? Are there independent witnesses? Does the victim want the charges dropped? What is the relationship between the defendant and the victim? Is there a motive for the victim to lie such as allegations of infidelity or child custody issues?

Today's date with Estelle, we decided to go and feed the fishes and other animals at Kids' Kampong.
As usual, my fearless little boy wanted to swim with the fishes. He grabbed them, petted them, put his fingers in their mouths...is there anything he is not afraid of? He splashed away at the waters so hard that his shirt and face was wet..I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In comparison, Estelle is such a sweetie, following mummy Serene around and posing as nudged. She could even stand by herself at the fish pond. I couldn't even let Kimi out of my 'grip'!
Nowadays, it's impossible to get even a frontal shot of Kimi, he just refuses to look in the camera anymore...unlike before he will smile once I whip the cam out. Sigh, when will he smile for me again? Mummy will wait patiently, darling.
Fearless Kimi grabbing the fishes!
Come, Estelle! Let's go check out the geese
Quack! Quack! Quack! The kids calling out to the geese
Mom, I did not play with the well's water but I'm all wet...
Hey, duckie! Want a taste of my finger? Even Kimi got nipped a few times, he still stuck his finger in there time after time ...

Sorry, Spurs, that wasn't the real Barcelona
OPINION: Despite progressing in Europe, even the most excitable Tottenham fan surely doesn't expect their team to be crowned European champions in May
13 December, 2018 — By Richard Osley
HEARTY congratulations to Tottenham Hotspur for qualifying from their Champions League group with a late draw against Barcelona.
I say "Barcelona", but at the risk of raining on the slightly hysterical reaction we've seen from Spurs fans over the last couple of days, it is worth reminding everybody that Tottenham slogged to a draw against what was essentially a B team. Maybe even a C team. Certainly a team that almost won a match they had no real interest in winning against Tottenham.
When Arsenal defeated the real Barcelona in 2011, the Gunners were up against a Spanish wonderteam: Pique, Iniesta, Xavi, Dani Alves, David Villa and Lionel Messi.
Tottenham, by contrast, finally secured a draw against the not-so-terrifying Munir, Arthur and Alena. Yes, Messi made a brief cameo but this was like thinking you've bought a ticket for The Rolling Stones only to get your spot down near the front of the stage and finding you are actually at a Keane concert. Or a Menswear gig. Or Travis.
If Barcelona play properly, Spurs lose, as we saw at Wembley in October. Even the most excitable Tottenham fan, and we all know one or two, surely does not expect their team to be crowned European champions in May.
Last year, they beat Real Madrid and there was a similarly foamy reaction, but when the competition got serious it was Real who went on to win it. In the meantime, what goes unsaid, is that Tottenham's exhausting group stages helped pave the way for Arsenal to roast them 4-2 earlier this month in that unforgettable north London derby.
• THE Sun published photographs of Arsenal players in a nightclub appearing to take laughing gas balloons.
Don't take nitrous oxide, everyone, it's not good for you. Don't do it, don't do it, people have died, don't do it. If you are a fan of another club, however, step out of the mystic world where nobody connected to your team has ever done something similar.
The newspaper, triumphant at its exclusive, said Matteo Guendouzi and co were setting a bad example to all of the young people who idolise these players. Yes. Of course, there would be no risk of the players' barmy actions influencing anybody's impressionable minds if these four-month-old photos had not been printed on their front page and shared across the internet.
Given so many people do not seem to understand what is meant by "hippy crack", the coverage is more likely to make people intrigued about it, drawn to it even, given the band of brothers camaraderie that seems to be fuelling Arsenal's unbeaten run. They look like happy playmates in a nightclub – and on the pitch. The zany coverage doesn't absolve the Arsenal players from doing something foolish, but it did get people wondering if anybody on Fleet Street had ever inhaled.

I am a new customer. My first pick up was to happen April 2nd. No one showed. I called and they said someone would come next day. No one showed. I called again and then someone came. This now the 2nd week and no one showed. I just tried to call and no one picked up and there was no voice mail. Frustrated.

Over many a quaint and curious sixes and half-volleyed fours,
While I fielded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of Pietersen gently rapping, the rapping from that cheating Boer.
`'Tis some nick,' I muttered, `the tapping of that cheating Boer -
This is truth, of this I'm sure.'
By Ruth.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the searing December,
And each Australian dying batsman wrought his ghost upon a four.
Eagerly I wished the wicket; - truly I had heard him nick-it
From my fielders look of submit - submit for my lost rapport -
For the rare and radiant skill whom the players named rapport-
Shameless here for evermore.
And the brazen sad uncertain gawking of each shocked fielder
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic anger, lying dormant in days of yore;
So that now, to rampant beating of my heart, I stood repeating
`'Tis some nick on willow, from the cheating Boer! -
Some nick on willow, from the cheating Boer; -
The ball was hit, of this I'm sure'
Presently my anger grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
`Dar,' said I, `or Hill, truly you are deaf, I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently I heard a tapping,
And so faintly it came tapping, the tapping from that cheating Boer,
That I scarce was sure I heard it' - yet to see that winking Boer; -
Refer it, of this I'm sure.
Deep into the hotspot peering, long listening to the crowd jeering,
Waiting, dreaming victories no captain ever dared to dream before;
But the hotspot was unbroken, and the greyness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `rapport!'
The team they whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `rapport!'
Merely grey and nothing more.
Into the tribunal turning, all my anger within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,' said I, `surely I was wrong, in my dissent; I lie
Let me see then, what threat is, losing captaincy I assure -
Let my heart be still a moment, two fifths fines and nothing more-
'Tis was nick, of this I'm sure!'
And the Boer, never walking, still is stalking, still is stalking
And the smug face of Pietersen; that bastard, cheating Boer;
And his eyes have all the daring of a team that be declaring,
And the sunlight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my anger from out that shadow that lies dying on his fours
I shall be captain – nevermore.
Lovingly ripped off from Poe.

How to Create Fun Teaching Worksheets. How do you create fun teaching worksheets? Do fun and worksheets even belong in the same sentence together? Let's face it. Most students don't want to sit around doing worksheets. However, sometimes it's necessary to have students complete a worksheet to practice a skill or assess their skills. When this is the case, you can still make it fun for students by utilizing these tips. Games, Make the experience fun by turning the lesson into a teaching game. For example, students could roll dice to determine what activities they need to do or complete a puzzle. Reward students with points for discovering the correct answers or locating mistakes on the assignment. You could even have students make mistakes on purpose, so other students can find them and correct them.
An effective way to ensure students explore new topics and practice new skills on a daily basis is by answering worksheets. Whether you are teaching vocabulary, writing, science or math, you can easily create worksheets that match the lessons for the day. Save yourself the time and toil it takes to create worksheets from scratch by taking advantage of Canva's professional, ready-made worksheet templates. From there, do as much as editing as needed using our suite of intuitive design tools. Fully-customized worksheets ready to print and distribute are just a few clicks away, giving you more time preparing for another fun and productive day in class.

If you are interested in watching the entire 20 episode series, it is for sale on my website.
Play-N-Train Recalls DVD
Train your dog to come when called and have fun in the process!
Having a dog that will come when called is one of the most important things that you can teach your dog! Think about your recall right now. If your dog was about to get hit by a car and all you had to do to save his life is call him to you, would he come? I cringe to think that he might not have and hope that you will practice this very important trick. The trick of coming when called!
One of the key's to training your dog to enjoy coming when called, is to be a fun, enjoyable person to be around! Who would want to come if playtime was over, to get medicine or for anything that was not that desirable? I sure wouldn't! Make coming when called a POSITIVE experience, a conditioned response, and something that your dog will ENJOY doing. Coming when called does not mean playtime is over it means that playtime has just begun!
There are times when you need to bring your dog in, give meds, or do something that your dog will not like, so why not just go and get him. This way you will not poison your recall!
Even if you are reading this and your dog does know how to come when called, it NEVER hurts to practice! You know what they say, "Practice makes Permanent"! I know you thought I was going to say, "Practice makes perfect", but if you practice something wrong, then you will get what you practiced… Food for thought!
Have a great day!

At about 4:00 am last Labor Day (2006) our house burned to the ground. We lost everything we had. That sounds so ominous, doesn't it? It's also misleading. We didn't lose everything we had. We lost the things we had in the house. We lost all but one of our pets. One of our puppies burned to death in our granddaughter's arms. She still believes that she failed him because she couldn't save him. She was 7 when that happened.
What we didn't lose was far more important than what we did lose. Our grandson's paternal grandfather, Joseph, got to the house before the ambulance left the scene. He lives on the other side of the county. Our friends left their vacation and met us at the hospital. My dearest husband's cousin was there. Our preacher and his son, who is also a preacher and a longtime friend of ours, was there.
Friends and friends and friends were there. I can't even name them all right now. All I can tell you most of the time is that they were there and if they hadn't been I would not have been able to put one foot in front of the other. Joseph never left our side. Our granddaughter is his grandson's sister, not HIS granddaughter. But he loves her just the same.
I can only do so much of this at a time and right now, I'm done.
Ok, let's try some more. For a day we were homeless. I joked that we lived in the shoebox that came with the shoes that my dearest husband bought me to wear to the hospital. My coffee cup jammies didn't make the cut. I cleaned house once. I put my cigarettes and lighter in the shoebox. Took me 5 seconds. I dusted too! It was a hoot. Sorta.
At the end of the day when they tossed us out of the hospital, we went to the only place that was home that we had left. We went to stay with our ….. Hmm I'm not sure how to describe them. They are so much more than friends. They are family of the closest sort. And yet they are more than family because when it's family you have no choice and they are a choice I will make over and over again for the rest of my life with no hesitation. Alright, for lack of a better description, I will call them our co-family for the moment, Speedoo and Loreli. Maybe I will have more inspiration later. Doing this seems to shatter my brain so you have to forgive me. Anyway, back to the story. We went to our co-family's house. It was nearby and it was home. We got two dresser drawers. Our living space quadrupled in 2 seconds!! Woo hoo! We got to sleep in a bed. We were terrified to go to sleep. We left the light on. Our friend stayed up all night to watch over us. How can I explain to you what that means? I can't.
And I'm done again for now, so I'll see you later.
None of this is in order because I can't think of it that way. Our friend……I'll call him Gunner, he and his family had just taken the holiday weekend off and went to the beach for a vacation. When I got to the hospital with Bella, I could only remember two phone numbers. The counceling center and Gunner. I called them both. The counceling center was closed so I left a message with the hotline folks who answered. Then I called Gunner and left a message with him. I still don't remember what I said. But a couple of days later he set the scene for me:
"It's 4:00 am. I'm in a strange room and it's totally dark. My cell phone rings. It's on the other side of the room. I couldn't get to it in time but you know how calls in the middle of the night scare you? So I got up and looked at the number. I didn't recognize it. I almost put it down thinking it was a wrong number when I noticed that there was a message. So I called the messages and this is what I heard, standing there in that black room in the middle of the night 3 hours from home." Then he let me listen to it.
It scared ME and I'm the one who left the message. If I hadn't said my name I wouldn't have recognized my own voice. I sounded scary as hell! I don't know what I said, all I remember is the last word……Help.
And he did. He almost beat us to the hospital. I don't remember being there without him or his wife, Sugar&Spice. He took a week off work to be with us. Because he's family. And we needed him. I can't tell you what that means either. It's like trying to explain what it's like to have a heartbeat. It's not something that I do, it's something that's there and if it wasn't, I wouldn't be alive. That simple.
Ok, I'm cracking, so we'll try more later.
Gunner and Sugar&Spice were there with us always. S&S spent almost as much time in the room with Bella as I did. I am more grateful to her than I will ever be able to say. She was my rock. She was always there. She gave up time with her baby, her grandparents, time at the beach relaxing, to be there with us. I couldn't think, I couldn't breathe from the smoke I breathed in, I couldn't half see most of the time. For some reason, besides the fact that I didn't have my glasses, everything seemed dim and foggy. Sometimes I just had to get out out out out out of that hospital. When I couldn't stand to be inside of that place for one more second, S&S would be there, in the waiting room. She would stay there and be there and let me go outside. She is like my arm or my leg or a piece of my heart.
Whew! Done again already! Dang, I'm not sure this will ever get any easier!
July 16, 2008
Bella spent eleven days in an induced coma, hooked up to a respirator. From the way it sounds it seems like she would be laying there still with the machine hissing in the background, like you see on TV. NOT! Because she had so much debris in her lungs, they were using the respirator to dislodge it. She was laying there very still, but the respirator was shooting air into her lungs with what seemed like deadly force. It was going in there hard! It was creepy and scary to see it.
Bella kept pulling out her IV line, so they had her arms and then her legs, strapped to the bed. Basically they had to tie her down. If you knew Bella this wouldn't surprise you at all. And this is while they are pumping her full of sedatives. I'm not sure how much they were giving her, but in the ER, they had a tube in her throat and she woke up and tried to sit up and pull it out. MDH, Gunner and I jumped on her to hold her down and started screaming for the Docs or nurses or whoever.
The doctor was stunned that she had already come out of the sedatives she had been given earlier. He was standing there with his eyes the size of hubcaps, saying over and over again that she can't be awake. We finally had to raise our voices a little to get him to come back around and give her some more so we could stop laying all over her.
He gave her another shot, and was still saying how he couldn't believe she was already out of that. I told him that this was Bella, he needed to get used to seeing things he had never seen before. So they got several syringes and filled them with the sedatives and taped them to the side of her gurney, so they wouldn't have to waste time filling them back up when she started to come around again. They used them all. That poor doctor will probably have nightmares for the rest of his career about that tiny little girl who kept using up all those sedatives on him.
When I first walked down the hall in the burn unit to see Bella in her room, I noticed the people in the other rooms. Bella was at the very end of the hall. I kept wondering why it was that there would be so many black people in the burn unit. It seemed odd to me at the time but I didn't have time to think about it then. I had other things on my mind. But later, I realized that it wasn't that there were so many black people, those were the people who had been burnt. I lost it. I couldn't imagine the pain. I couldn't imagine how their families were still standing after seeing something so horrifying happen to someone they loved.
I have to tell you that the people who work in that ward are amazing, fantastic, heroic. It was all I could do to make it to the end of the hall. They have to have a special gift to come in there every day.
Bella only had three burns on her. Two little burns on her wrists where the puppy was on fire and she reached into the fire to pull him out. My God I can't imagine doing that! She cried and told me that she failed him because he died in her arms. I tried to explain to her that I don't know many people who would have even considered doing what she did, much less a seven year old. I told her that firefighters have the same thing happen to them at times and that it's a very hard thing to deal with, but that she was a tiny little girl. She shouldn't expect herself to be such a hero. Of course, she had held Theo while he died and there was nothing I could say to her to take that away.
Later on. when the firefighters from the Firefighter's Burned Children Unit came by, I told them about that. You could see it in their eyes, they understood. She has been a favorite of theirs ever since. They all understand each other. They all suffer from the ones they couldn't save. It must be awful to start off at such a disadvantage, like a house burning down, then do everything they do, and still feel terrible about what couldn't be done. I wish I had a pill or a spray that would let them be more easy about those times.
Okay, I'm done again. Sorry.

After a stroke even the most simple daily tasks, or remembering what month it is, can become challenging. Recovery depends on fast action and the right therapy. Frank Lang, retired professor of biology at Southern Oregon University and longtime host of Nature Notes on Jefferson Public Radio, knows this very well.
Frank Lang, biologist, author, and bird watcher, recovered from stroke and enjoys life again.
It was the middle of the night on December 15, 2010, when Frank got up to go to the bathroom. "And I just sank to the floor," he recalls. "My wife, Suzanne, asked what was wrong. I was flopping around on the rug. All I could do was mumble." Frightened, she called 9-1-1. Paramedics from Ashland Fire and Rescue arrived in minutes and immediately identified Frank's condition as a stroke. Suzanne insisted that they take Frank to Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center, which is a certified Primary Stroke Center.
They arrived in less than 30 minutes. The stroke care team in the Emergency Department quickly stabilized Frank and administered lifesaving drugs to restore blood flow to his brain. The fast action of Frank's wife, the paramedics, and the stroke team had minimized the adverse effects of the stroke, but the temporary blockage in his carotid artery had damaged his brain. He had left-side neglect (the inability to see images on his left side or sense the left side of his body), weakness in his legs, balance issues, and memory and thinking problems. "The neurologist tested me, and I could do only sixth-grade math," Frank chuckles. He needed rehabilitation.
The stroke team cared for Frank around-the-clock in the neuroscience unit. Neurologists and therapists immediately began his rehabilitation through exercises to improve his balance, vision, and thinking skills. "And they never said a discouraging word," Frank says.
Frank improved enough to transfer to the Inpatient Rehabilitation Center, where patients recovering from stroke, traumatic injury, or severe illness receive intensive therapy for several hours every day. He stayed there for three weeks as speech, physical, and occupational therapists helped him return to a normal life.
"It's the entire top floor of the north tower of the hospital," Frank recalls. "And it's like a cruise ship. The views were fabulous, and the staff was so helpful." They even helped him celebrate Christmas with his family. "But they make you work hard," Frank adds, "every day."
Under the guidance of his physical therapist, Frank exercised in the gym to regain strength and balance. The occupational therapist helped him recover his motor coordination to eat, write, and do household tasks. Most important for him, the speech/language pathologist gave him exercises to regain his memory and thinking skills. "A lot of it was word games," he recalls. "'What month comes after May?' But they worked wonders."
Before Frank was discharged, physical therapists visited his home to evaluate how well he could negotiate the stairs and the shower. "That required some handrails, which, once installed, made me wonder why we didn't install them when we built the house. But then we weren't thinking 30-plus years ahead," Frank says.
After leaving the hospital, Frank continued speech therapy with Asante Rogue Regional's outpatient rehabilitation. "I was still having trouble with short-term memory and recalling words and colors," Frank says. Speech therapist Hilary Anderson noticed that he was having difficulty with planning strategies. She used maps as exercises to plan trips. Next she encouraged him to use an iPad for brain exercises at Lumosity. "That technology has made a huge improvement in our therapy," Hilary says.

Frank agrees: "It made all the difference."
Frank still has challenges but says he has made a great recovery. He hiked on the new Plaikni Falls Trail at Crater Lake and is driving again. "I don't think I would have recovered nearly as much without rehabilitation at the hospital," he says. "And I tell everyone, have a plan:
"You never know when a stroke will come, and your life can change in a heartbeat."

I was given this particular brand of Uneek T shirts a few years ago as part of my company uniform. The quality is excellent and having been worn countless times they hold shape and colour wash after wash. I decided to buy a batch for personal use as they seem last beyond anything you can buy in shops. Being 6ft 5in they also fit amazingly well especially the length. Overall they 're great value + and excellent quality
Good quality nice fit
Good quality and value for money. Highly recommended.

Warriors not satisfied keeping up with Joneses
The Warriors would consider drafting Baylor sophomore Perry Jones III or Kentucky sophomore Terrence Jones with the No. 7 overall pick if either proved he could transition to small forward in the NBA.
After Monday's workout at their downtown Oakland facility, however, it appears the Warriors' top two draft options are still trading for an experienced NBA wing or trading up to nab Kentucky's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Perry Jones III, a 6-foot-11, 234-pounder, said he let the nerves of his first team workout get the better of him and didn't make the 15- to 20-foot shots necessary to play small forward at the next level. Terrence Jones, a 6-9, 252-pounder, took humility to another level and said he thinks he'll have trouble defending small or power forwards as a rookie.
The Warriors have been vocal about their expanding wish list of proven trade targets: Nicolas Batum (Portland), Luol Deng (Chicago), Andre Iguodala (Philadelphia), Rudy Gay (Memphis), Danny Granger (Indiana), Luc Mbah a Moute (Milwaukee) and Josh Smith (Atlanta). They also have contacted Charlotte about trading some of their picks (7, 30, 35 and 52) for the No. 2 pick, with which they could grab Kidd-Gilchrist, who's tough-minded and has a defense-first mentality.
Because neither of those trade ideas is close to a certainty, the Warriors continue to plan for their contingencies, including drafting the best remaining small forward at No. 7 - when Kidd-Gilchrist and North Carolina's Harrison Barnes figure to be off the board.
Perry Jones III has the skill and athleticism (he cleared the measuring bars during the max vertical leap at last week's combine in Chicago) that excite general managers, but sometimes he shows a lack of effort that gets GMs fired. He said he matured as a sophomore after turning down a top-five slot in the draft to return to Baylor.
"A year ago, I probably would have been headed to watch some cartoons instead of heading to the ice tub or to get some more work in," he said before joining some of the Warriors' coaching staff for extra drills after his workout.
Terrence Jones has shown flashes of the playmaking skills needed to play small forward in the NBA, but he deferred too much on Kentucky's title-winning squad.
"The toughest thing about playing small forward in the NBA will be guarding the best players in the world," Terrence Jones said before being asked if he would do better against power forwards. "At the NBA level, it's going to be difficult to guard either forward as a rookie."
A tale of 2 prospects
Perry Jones III or Terrence Jones might be attractive picks at No. 7, but the Warriors could try to trade up to get Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Terrence Jones' teammate at Kentucky.

Hello fellow strings i just wanted to say hi and im not too advanced on violin but i hope to learn something from you guys😊
I miss Ukulele as Instrument !
Hi everyone!
I'm planning on auditioning for a fine arts high-school for 10th grade, and I wondering what you guys recommend for audition pieces. I need two pieces, one contemporary and one classical.
I would say I am mid-to-late intermediate, and am in Suzuki book 3 currently.
I need two solo pieces, without an accompaniment.
Thanks in advance,
Vina (literal mochi)
Hello, i just finished my small composition for string quintet (with pizz double bass). The first part is based on an theme by Jehan Alain (on organ, taken by ear) who was a composer and organist. He died in WWII. He is one of my favourite composers. The second par is in post romantic style. The name "la lettre" refers to a secret handwritten letter that could appear in an imaginary movie :
Thanks for listening and commenting.
Here is a small composition for two cellos. It is quite fun and I like it well.
Tell me what you think about it !
A short piece String quartet no.2 in f major first movement. sonata form.
Second try on string quartet
please also check out my first string quartet!
I'm starting a new set of oboe studies !
I will make them in a way that they will be playadle by violin.
the first one is a humorus miniature , give it a listen.

Opera Maine's Memorable Three Decembers
Just returned from OperaMaine's production of Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer's chamber opera, "Three Decembers." As I wrote ten years ago of the broadcast premiere of the 2008 revision, the negative reviews of that event made little sense to me:
". . . ungrateful music that lies awkwardly" for the voice" . . . "a score that while threatening to break into melody - never really does."
The music sits in the "sweet spot" for many singers, so "ungrateful" and "awkward" seems odd word choices to describe it. As to melody(ies), the score is virtually bursting with so many lending more of a musical theatre feel to it than an opera. There are (intentional or not) moments that, while not derivative, recall Menotti's early efforts, Bernstein and Sondheim. This is a good thing.
As with the Houston premiere, Portland' audience was engaged and responsive throughout.
Scheer's libretto – drawn from an unpublished play, tells the story of a mother and her difficult relationship with her two adult children from 1986 through 2006. A daughter, trapped in a miserable marriage she's emotionally unequipped to exit; and a gay son, whose partner is dying from complications from AIDS. While these three wrestle with enormous emotions and guilt, there is never any doubt of the love that exists between them, and that they yearn for throughout those years. What on paper sounds like a Lifetime movie, onstage transforms into a compelling, powerful and sometimes funny tale.
Set in intimacy of the St. Lawrence Arts Center, John Sundling's bare bones production – a few props and enormous marquee-style lit up numerals: "1986" "1996" and "2006" identifying and effectively shrinking the stage each scene was a terrific effect, pulling the audience right into the performance. There were moments I couldn't help thinking of Sondheim's "Follies." Likewise, Richard Gammon's direction elicited direct, no-nonsense acting from his cast that breathed theatrical life into this small, high strung and emotionally damaged family making them, for 90 some minutes, real in every sense. It didn't hurt that Gammon was blessed with a cast that made absolute magic with Heggie's Broadway-esque score.
As acclaimed actress, Madeline Mitchell, mezzo-soprano Raehann Bryce-Davis gave a genuine, larger-than-life tour-de-force, her beautiful, expressive face lighting up with stage smiles belying the frightened, hard-as-nails mother, desperate for attention and torn apart by hiding a damaging secret from her children throughout their lives. Vocally, Bryce-Davis has a rich, warm, expressive voice, even throughout all registers top-to-bottom. This is a beautiful singer well on her way to an international career. (Note: following this run, Ms. Bryce-Davis jets back to Antwerp where she is a member of the Opera Vlaanderen, for role debuts in Glass's "Satyagraha" and Eboli in "Don Carlos"). She's also one hell of an actress.
Soprano Symone Harcum was daughter Beatrice, and soared through Heggie's higher-lying music with ease and beautiful, lustrous tone. She softened what I felt was (in the original performances) a difficult-to-love, emotionally character and had the audience's sympathies early on.
As son and brother Charlie, Yazid Gray was every bit the equal of his mom and sister. A beautifully produced baritone and touchingly effective actor, Gray brought Charlie's grief and resentment to life without presenting a character that could easily morph into the maudlin. That line was never crossed and Gray's Charlie seemed to be both balance and anchor of the family.
Music Director Timothy Steele had the difficult task of playing a single piano reduction of the score which did not allow always for nuances that a full ensemble would have provided. But jeez, did he play it brilliantly, and held the entire work together in a most admirable performance.
Interestingly, surtitles were provided for the performance, but they were never needed because of the amazing clarity of diction from the cast, I'm not certain a single pair of eyes ever looked up. How could we? We couldn't take our eyes off the stage.
We don't get a lot of contemporary opera in Maine, so "Three Decembers" was a most welcome gift from Opera Maine. More please!

Left Wing Political Bigotry Runs Amok in America
Have you ever been the victim of left wing political bigotry? Please leave your story in the comments section. I share my experiences in this segment. The shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise in Virginia by the hand of a left wing lunatic Bernie supporter is an example of left wing political bigotry going the extreme. Sarah Palin considers suing the NY Slimes for recycling a long since debunked slander on her name.

The details (again) in case you didn't see my last post about it and wanna know what it is:
You go to stitchfix.com and you create your style profile. (there's currently a waitlist, but it's not long at all!) Then the Stich Fix stylists hand pick 5 items for you to try on. They send the clothing pieces directly to your house, you try them on and decide what to keep (if anything) and then you send back what you don't want. Easy peasy.
- There's a $20 styling fee, which you can use toward your order. (that's awesome!!)
- If you keep all 5 items you receive 25% off your order.
- You choose your price range
- The more feedback you give on the pieces sent to you, the better they get over time. So be sure to be very specific to your stylists so that they can send you things you'll love.
Okay so here is your mediocre fashion show, sans make-up and a clean bedroom. Try to ignore the streaks on the mirror, too. Andplusalso, my amazing farmers tan. Thanks.
I need to send whatever items back that I don't want to keep by Friday (at the latest!), so hit me with your faves!

Hey now!
Of all the franken polish lemmings I have out there, the polish in today's post may be the one I had the longest. Before I started blogging and was simply spending hours and hours drooling over bloggers, I saw swatches for Sneeze Breeze. Sneeze Breeze is a fantastic creation of Kae over at The Hungry Asian. At the time, go figure, she wasn't making it. Finally she opened her Etsy shop and it was time for me to get my claws on a long time lemming!
Everything about this polish makes me love it. First of all - it's a glitter. You all know how much I love me some glitter. It's one of my polish weaknesses. The fact the Sneeze Breeze contains a matte (that's right! no shine here! how unique!) robin's egg-blue and black glitter makes it the gem that it is. I have nothing like this in my stash and after yearning for the first so long I am thrilled to call it mine. This is the THIRSTIEST glitter I own to date. THREE COATS of Seche Vite and it was STILL a little dull. Who cares when it looks so dang good? Three coats.

If you follow my recipes you may know how much I love butternut squash! This recipe is a side dish I cook for my clients throughout the fall and winter, and one for which I often get recipe requests- it seemed time I share it! This is a delicious side dish that can also be served as a main course. You can leave it vegetarian or top it with sliced, grilled chicken.
Butternut Squash Pasta with Crispy Sage
Serves 4 to 6
Butternut Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 large butternut squash (about 1 ½ lbs.)
3 garlic cloves, diced
1 shallot, chopped
1 cup of broth, chicken or vegetable
1 cup heavy cream
salt & pepper
1 pound bucatini or your favorite pasta
Cut the top and bottom off of the butternut squash. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Cut the peeled butternut into large chunks. Discard any seeds. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium pot and melt over medium/low heat. Saute the butternut squash, garlic and shallot for 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken/vegetable broth, and season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium high and cook for 10-15 minutes. Once the butternut is soft enough to pierce with a fork, pour in the heavy cream. Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce in the pot or pour it into a stand blender in batches to puree. Let the sauce simmer on low while you prepare the pasta and garnish.
Cook the pasta according to instructions. Serve the pasta topped with sauce, crispy sage and freshly-grated Parmesan.
2 tbs butter
10 sage leaves
½ cup shaved parmesan
Melt butter in medium saucepan. When foaming subsides, add sage leaves and cook until they darken/ crisp and butter browns slightly. Transfer sage leaves to paper towel lined plate.

One of the greatest soundtracks ever – a record that set a whole new standard for audio representation of a film! The mad music for the set was composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim, with lyrics by Vincius De Moraes – and performed by Luiz Bonfa on guitar – but despite such prime bossa pedigree, the whole thing's got a sound that goes way beyond the familiar – a crazy mix of batucada percussion, samba rhythms, bossa guitar, and loads of sound effects from the film – so much so that the first half of the record is almost a sound-for-sound replication of the first 20 minutes of the movie! The sound collage is amazing – an extremely unique approach to soundtrack representation, and one that's never been done so beautifully since. A truly breathtaking record, filled with mindblowing sounds – and an early example of the genius that would explode in 60s music in Brazil. Some key bossa classics are represented here in early versions – including "Felicidade", "O Nosso Amor", and "Manha De Carnaval" – but they're wrapped up in odd sounds and rhythms that really make them sound different! © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Later yellow label Epic/CBS pressing. Cover has light wear.)
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

The rebels claimed breakthroughs on other fronts, saying their fighters had started battling for Sabha, another of the colonel's stronghold in the south, and in Zuwarah in the west, where they said they had captured a military base.
Sporadic firefights continued in Tripoli, a sign that control of the city could not be claimed by either side. In a show of strength, the rebels flooded the city's thoroughfares with the mud-splattered trucks of their fighting brigades. In another sign of the power shifts under way, Colonel Qaddafi's loyalists abruptly released more than 30 foreign journalists they had held captive in the Rixos Hotel here. Over the weekend, they were taken captive at gunpoint as the rebels advanced on the capital and left in the Rixos.
"Rixos crisis ends. All journalists are out!" Matthew Chance, a CNN correspondent, posted on Twitter as he and the others were allowed to leave the hotel with the aid of Red Cross workers who took them away.
Later in the day, the elation was tempered with word that four Italian journalists were abducted and their driver killed outside of Tripoli, in territory nominally under rebel control. Italian consular officials said the journalists, abducted by unknown gunmen, were being held by Qaddafi loyalists in an apartment near Bab al-Aziziya, Colonel Qaddafi's captured compound and residence.Continue reading the main story
Colonel Qaddafi was not at home when rebels stormed the fortress. He said in an address broadcast early Wednesday on a local Tripoli radio station that his retreat from the compound was a tactical maneuver. He blamed months of
"These gangs seek to destroy Tripoli," he said, referring to the rebels. "They are evil incarnate. We should fight them."
In the eastern city of Benghazi, the base of the rebel uprising, the head of the rebel
"We fear a catastrophe because of his behavior," the rebel leader, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, told reporters there. The rebel leaders in Benghazi also called on loyalists in Surt, more than 200 miles east of Tripoli, to join them, and said they had directed rebel fighting units to close in on Surt from Misurata in the west and the port city of Ras Lanuf in the east.
The rebel military units from Misurata, which have emerged as the opposition's most able fighters, have encountered little resistance. But there were reports on Wednesday that rebel brigades approaching from the east were stalled in Bin Jawwad, a hamlet that has tripped up the rebels during previous attempts to advance on Surt.
Elsewhere, though, there were signs of loyalist disarray.
NATO warplanes were heard over the skies in Tripoli in the morning and later in the evening, striking unspecified targets in a bid to strike a fatal blow to Colonel Qaddafi's lingering loyalists. Many citizens stayed at home as rebels blasted the skies with volleys of celebratory gunfire, though more shops could be seen opening and more cars seemed to be on the road. In a sign of the changed atmosphere, hundreds of journalists on Wednesday moved into high-rise hotels that a day or two before would have been easy targets for snipers. Farther south, though, the two sides continued to fight over several neighborhoods, including Abu Salim and Bab al-Aziziya, the former Qaddafi compound that was still not completely under rebel control.
As diplomacy accelerated in the new dynamics surrounding the conflict, President
At the
The rebels must consolidate their control of the country for Russia to consider recognizing their government, he said. "If the rebels have enough strength and opportunities to unite the country for a new democratic start, then naturally, we will consider establishing relations with them," Mr. Medvedev said.
In a further maneuver,
Continuing a trend that has grown in recent days, two high-ranking officials of the Qaddafi government declared their allegiance to the new leadership. The deputy director of foreign security in the Libyan intelligence service, Gen. Khalifah Mohammed Ali, and the health minister, Mohammed Hijazi, announced their decisions in interviews with Al Arabiya, Reuters reported.
It remained unclear on Wednesday when the leaders of the rebel council would transfer their operations from Benghazi to Tripoli, as they have said they plan to. One of their leaders, Ali el-Essawi, Mr. Jibril's acting deputy, who was based in Benghazi, took a room in a guest house earlier in the week in Zawiyah, 50 miles from Tripoli.Continue reading the main story

Much discussion has taken place re: the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson. Was it justified, racially motivated, warranted, an example of the obvious racial & socioeconomic divide that's eroding our society? Was it a life & death reaction to a series of dire events? Was it both or was it neither? Let's start with the obvious. When someone loses their life, it is a tragedy that transcends race, gender, age and religion. Regardless of the investigative outcomes that life will not be replaced and that is about as unfortunate as it gets.... that is, unless we take / learn nothing from it. Here are the top five things I've learned (so far) from the tragic Ferguson incident, not meant in any way shape or form to trivialize the unfortunate events.
- Each time incidents like this happen, society takes ten BIG steps backward. In life, the second the blame game begins is the same second the learning stops. Blaming only assures situations will more than likely be repeated.
- We rush to judge people & events. We're so impatient, we can't even wait for due process to run it's course before we formulate (and share) our opinions. We want it right but we want it right - right now.
- We're quick to play our cards when it suits us. The race, religion & gender cards. We seem to avoid the realities of life cards which state that sometimes terrible shit happens that has no bearing on ANY one of those things.
- We seldom put ourselves in other people's shoes. That would be difficult when whats easy is to wonder why everyone else doesn't think / act or react like us. Why didn't he/she just...
- More than less, the reaction to these instances, merely serves to reinforce the very stereotypes we seek to eliminate. Rioting, looting and... shooting at police as a solution?

Becoming Christians passionately aims to attain the goal of proclaiming the true and the same Gospel Jesus had preached when He walked on this earth. This morally dying and decaying world is desperate to hearing the Good News that was once delivered to the saints. Everyone must return to the fundamental truths embedded in this life's handbook, the Bible.
