Vista del Mar will have its lanes restored; work to start within three weeks. Signal phasing at Culver – Vista del Mar will be changed this weekend. A neighborhood task force will evaluate the restoration of the other lanes that were removed and possible other safety measures that can be initiated.
It appears Supervisor Janice Hahn and Manhattan Beach City Councilmembers Amy Hobath and Richard Montgomery were all in discussions with Councilman Mike Bonin.
LADOT will still be having a Town Hall with Councilman Bonin for residents Saturday (29 July) from 1 to 3 pm at Roski Hall, Loyola Marymount University, regarding "Safe Streets" for Playa del Rey.
The following is the press release from Councilman Mike Bonin.
PLAYA DEL REY – Councilmember Mike Bonin today announced major changes to road safety improvements in Playa del Rey, including restoration of lanes to Vista Del Mar, and formation of task force to evaluate road safety projects in the neighborhood.
Thanks to the assistance of Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, Bonin said, transportation officials will be able to implement changes to Vista Del Mar that still address the City's liability issues and maintain coastal access.
Hahn directed the county to make free or affordable parking available at the existing county beach parking lot, allowing the city to remove street parking on Vista Del Mar and restore the roadway to two lanes in either direction. The lane reduction was controversial, sparking outrage from commuters who demanded a different solution.
"I said that I was listening, and that I would eagerly embrace an alternative solution that met the requirements of improving safety and maintaining coastal access," Bonin said. "Thanks to Janice Hahn, we have that alternative."
"My constituents were frustrated by the impact this project had on their daily commutes," said Supervisor Hahn. "I am relieved that we were able to come together and find a solution that restores the lanes and prevents pedestrian accidents."
Bonin also announced that the Los Angeles Department of Transportation will make changes to the signal phasing and the turn at the intersection Vista Del Mar and Culver Boulevard, allowing for better traffic flow through the intersection, unclogging an area of congestion.
The changes to the signal will happen this weekend. County Public Works and Los Angeles Department of Transportation officials expect that work to restore the lanes should begin within three weeks.
Additionally, Bonin announced formation of a Playa del Rey Road Safety Task Force that will evaluate and make recommendations regarding all of the road safety projects in the area, including those on Culver, Jefferson and Pershing, where lanes have also been reduced. The task force will be composed of neighbors who support the projects, neighbors who oppose the projects, local small business people, and safe streets advocates. It will also welcome the participation of other residents, of commuters, and of agencies or entities that can bring expertise or financial resources to the table — such as the County of Los Angeles and the cities of the South Bay. The task force will be asked to make a report with recommendations on whether to keep, reverse or modify the those projects. They will do so 90 days after the changes are made to Vista Del Mar.
"These projects have been very controversial and divisive for the community, with strong opinions on both sides," Bonin said. "With the task force, I am confident we will be able to bring all perspectives to the table for a civil conversation and sober analysis, and determine the best path forward."
The groundwork for both announcements was also laid in part through discussions with Manhattan Beach Councilmembers Amy Howorth and Richard Montgomery, which proved helpful in initiating an ongoing dialogue among South Bay cities and the City of Los Angeles, with the goal of collaborating on a solution.
"We are grateful to Supervisor Hahn for her efforts and applaud Councilmember Bonin for addressing the concerns of the South Bay commuters. It takes a leader to listen to residents and reverse direction when policy doesn't go as planned," commented Manhattan Beach Mayor Pro Tem Amy Howorth and Councilmember Richard Montgomery.
In the video (https://youtu.be/YStV2baeYoo) message announcing the changes, Bonin apologized to those impacted by the projects.
"If you are one of the many people who were inconvenienced, who were late to work, or who missed a bedtime story with your toddler, I am truly sorry,' Bonin said. "We are working to make this right."
Bonin, a safe streets advocate, also noted that neighborhoods in Los Angeles suffer from an epidemic of auto collisions, and city officials must slow speeds in certain neighborhoods to combat it.
"Speed kills. Public safety has to be the top priority on our roads, and the City cannot shy from that commitment," he said. Bonin noted that the leading cause of death in Los Angeles County for children under the age of 14 is traffic collisions, and the people most likely to be killed in collisions are children, seniors, pedestrians, and cyclists. He also noted that LAPD Chief Charlie Beck told the City Council earlier this year that the city had seen more traffic fatalities than gang-related homicides.

Who was Captain Beefheart?
Captain Beefheart was an American experimental musician, poet, and artist whose work has been extremely influential for many modern and prominent artists. His real name was Don Van Vliet and he died in 2010. He was as much a myth as he was a man.
"There are forty people in the world and five of them are hamburgers."- Captain Beefheart
What makes Beefheart weird?
With a name like Captain Beefheart, do you really need to ask?
He and Frank Zappa were friends as teenagers and they collaborated on occasion, though Beefheart's music was never as accessible to mainstream audiences and he did not see the kind of notoriety or financial success Frank's saw. You can hear Beefheart on the Zappa song Willie the Pimp and on the album Bongo Fury.
What should you listen to?
I never found much appeal in Beefheart's music or his lyrics, butI think that's largely a problem I need to resolve in myself. My dad used to speak frequently of Van Vliet's deep, poetic lyrics and the intentionally haphazard musical performances by his band, but I never developed an appreciation for much of it. Nevertheless, I do enjoy the occasional listen to these albums:
A man of quality and taste!
Much of Beefheart's music is exquisitely recorded and performed. Really clean mixes with pristine, glassy-sounding EQ. Quite ahead of its time. Listening to Trout Mask Replica as I write this, it truly is an incredible feat that the instrumental performances were so intensely practiced considering how random and improvised it sounds/feels.
Other trivia about Beefheart: Ry Cooder got his start in Beefheart's Magic Band, Tom Waits and Beefheart were good friends, he lived in the Mojave Desert, and Trout Mask Replica (produced by Zappa) is considered one of the greatest albums of all time. He concocted wild stories about himself to the media and elsewhere, claiming to not have slept for a year and a half and that he composed all 28 tracks from Trout Mask Replica following a 24-hour nap.
Members of the Magic Band also had unusual nicknames:
- Zoot Horn Rollo
- Drumbo (who collaborated with Andy West in Crazy Backwards Alphabet)
- Rockette Morton
- Antennae Jimmy Semens
As strange as his music is, most of it is rooted in the blues, following rather conventional song structure and chord changes, vocal stylings, and guitar-driven riffs. Imagine a musician who learned everything he could about delta blues, smashed all that with a sledgehammer, and reassembled all that into a rusty sock.

MR says: Out of the world's 13 highest-paid YouTube stars, a Mormon broke the list's top five, coming in at fourth place in an article recently published by Forbes.
Congratulations to Lindsey Stirling for her incredible success!
Ask just about any stranger on the street who Felix Kjellberg is and you'll likely get a blank stare. Identify him as PewDiePie, his name on YouTube—where he's got almost 40 million subscribers—and you'll get a few more positive responses.
The 25-year-old Swede is the top-earning YouTube star on the planet, pulling in $12 million pretax over the past year, all for providing expletive-heavy commentary as he plays videogames. Thanks to the millions of fans who make up his "bro army," advertisers are willing to pay a pretty penny to have their products featured in his videos.
In our first-ever ranking of the top-paid YouTube stars, we have uncovered the 10 channels that have managed to earn the most from their Internet aspirations. The minimum to make the list? $2.5 million in pretax earnings in the year ending June 1, 2015.
The list measures earnings before subtracting management fees and taxes. Our figures are based on data from Nielsen, IMDB and other sources, as well as on interviews with agents, managers, lawyers, industry insiders and the stars themselves.
These 13 DIY filmmakers—directors, producers, actors all rolled into one—have made millions doing what members of older generations may consider more play than work. By commenting on videogames, serving up comedy, debriefing about beauty and dancing while playing the violin, they have attracted millions of fans—and the money in their (or their parents') wallets.

I just finished reading Charles Dickens's Great Expectations.
Words fail me.
I'm still glowing with the delightful feeling I always get when I finish an excellent book. I hope you have experienced it at least once in your life: a satisfied, quiet, peaceful feeling that usually comes after a good laugh or a good cry, yet unlike either. (And I did do a prodigious amount of laughing during this book, as well as bit of crying.)
(I watched the BBC miniseries of Great Expectations, and with a few exceptions, thought it to be a good adaptation. The pictures in this post are taken from that adaptation.)
Charles Dickens, I believe, is largely taken for granted nowadays. His influence is everywhere, and references to his stories are common in films and literature. If you stop anyone in the street, it's a good bet that 95% of passersby would be at least somewhat familiar with the names of Oliver Twist, David Copperfield or Ebeneezer Scrooge. But how many of those people have actually read the original books? Most likely, lamentably few.
But let me tell you, there's a reason why Dickens's works became classics. That man could write. He was a powerful master of words: painting landscapes, houses, towns, characters and moods. Not only was he a master writer, he was a master story-teller. I have previously read several of Dickens's novels, but Great Expectations was by far his most impressive, satisfying story. So many plot twists, so many characters, so much suspense, so many laugh-out-loud passages, so much truth all packed into one book! I don't exaggerate when I say that I kept the book within arm's reach all week, and picked it up every spare moment (even if it was only to read a single paragraph).
I hesitate to give even a vague summary of Great Expectations – there are far too many surprises that I could ruin. I will say, though, that the characters were the best I've encountered in a long time. Joe and Biddy were such comforting, steady people.
Mr. Jaggers and Miss Havisham both scared me, in very different ways and for different reasons.
And Herbert Pocket – oh, Herbert! Seldom have I met a more delightful, faithful, cheerful friend in the pages of a book! He and Pip reminded me of a much younger version of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
And the settings were unbelievable. Ruined mansions, decaying flats, misty graveyards and treacherous marshes – I could see them all, every inch of them, as clearly as if I'd lived there my entire life.
I could fill dozens of pages with detailed descriptions, praises, discussions and analysis of Great Expectations. Instead, I'll just say this: read it! Go to the library this afternoon, pick up a copy and start reading. If you're anything like me, you won't be able to put it down. When you do finish it, and are filled with that delightful just-finished-an-excellent-book feeling, let me know! There are few things more satisfying than infecting someone else with a good, wholesome obsession about a book. 🙂

Hi there! This "experience" is hilarious but also very atmospheric and calming. I felt like I was in a Dr. Seuss food-induced trance. Really original, nice work here :) I've been showing this to a few friends. People seem to have a fun time with it :)
I work at Mozilla on the Mixed Reality & VR team (https://mixedreality.mozilla.org/), working on WebVR (https://webvr.rocks/) and A-Frame (https://aframe.io/). We're working on the WebGL players for Unity/Unreal Engine to properly support the WebVR API (https://github.com/caseyyee/unity-webvr-export).
We'd be ecstatic and grateful if you're willing to share your game's source code with us — and my colleague and I will do all the hacking and experimenting.
We really want to be able to have good starting examples (and proof!) that with just a few button clicks, you can be loading your Unity/Unreal VR games directly from within your Web browser.
With your permission, we could also use your project as a case-study sample and share it as well on a few of our web sites.
Let me know if any of this sounds of interest to you. My email's cvan<at>mozilla<dot>com, or you can reach me on Twitter, @cvanw. Thank you very much!

Mentoring and Assembly
At Humphry Davy School we care about the individual child. Students thrive best in an atmosphere where they feel valued and secure. The needs of our students as individuals, their physical, moral, cognitive, social, and emotional development, form the basis of the school's pastoral structure.
At the centre of our pastoral structure is the Mentor; a 'personal tutor' who is responsible for a small group of students and therefore able to build stronger relationships with each individual based on detailed and personal understanding. The Mentor is the first 'port of call' for parents.
On entry into the school, each student is allocated to a House and a mentor group under the care of a House Mentor. The Mentor meets the group daily for registration and throughout the week for mentoring sessions and assemblies. The Mentor not only has responsibility for the students' welfare on a day-to-day basis but plays an important part in raising achievement through target setting and supporting students academically.
All Mentors work closely with a House Head and member of the school leadership team who are involved in individual targets and student tracking.
Assemblies are held in House groups and aim to engender a sense of community and shared values. In line with statutory requirements, they are, while not distinctive of any particular denomination, wholly or mainly of Christian character. Led by the Head of House there is regular input from students, guest speakers and staff to broaden students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural experiences.
Students receive a broad religious education of a non-denominational nature that includes the study of Christianity and other great world religions and discussions of moral, religious and ethical issues.
Students are taught to regard people of all faiths, races and cultures with respect.
British Values
Fundamental British Values are promoted throughout the school. Democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
Through our provision of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) guidance we enable students to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence. We enable students to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law of England. We encourage students to accept responsibility for their behaviour, show initiative, and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in the locality of the school and to society more widely.
The school vision actively promotes fundamental British Values:
Humphry Davy School aims to unlock the talent and enterprise of all our young people. We promote high achievement and learning for life by working with every individual to:
- value, trust and respect each member of our community and work together co-operatively
- develop their full academic, crative, physical and personal potential
- overcome barriers to learning
- develop the knowledge, skills and attributes the need to lead successful and happy lives
- become independent, confident, considerate and responsible young people who make a positive contribution to society
- understand the importance of a fairer and environmentally sustainable world; and
- be empowered to make an ethical and sustainable contribution to local, national and global prosperity.
We believe in justice and equality for all and will carrry this through in school life by:
- recognising individuality
- raising aspirations and awareness of opportunities
- valuing and celebrating the positive attitudes and diverse achievments of all
- encouraging a positive sense of place and identity through awareness of Cornwall's heritage, environment and culture and understanding and respecting differences of a local, ntional and international level
- nurturing a friendly, caring, safe and secure atmosphere, where fair and firm boundaries promote self-discipline and a responsible attitude towards people and property
- providing a community where all feel they belong and where each is known as an individual;
- promoting the personal qualities of resilience, curiosity, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline, tolerance and compassion
- providing a broad, balanced and challenging curriculum
- ensuring that our school is a community in which all participate in decision making
- using our music specialism to drive whole school improvement, develop talents and link with the community around us.
The Student Council
Students are able to be elected to the Student Council and this process promotes understanding of how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process. Our hard-working and enthusiastic Student Council achieved the Silver PADL (Promoting Active Democracy Loudly) School Council Award.

People, including me, have taken cloth bags to the grocery store for a while now in order to save plastic. Very green decision, blah blah blah.
Yet, why are the store baggers still complete knuckleheads when using them? When using plastic bags they are so wasteful - often times using a bag for just one small item.
Yet, when I give them 5 cloth bags, they pack 1 or 2 to the gills, leaving the other 3 unused and giving me 2 really heavy bags. I have bags of various sizes, including a really large one in which I stuff the others when I take them to the store. This led one guy to ask me "Ma'am, do you want everything in this big bag?" !!!!!!!!!!!! It took all the restraint I could muster to not say what I was thinking: "You are a mother fucking moron."
It's amazing that the human race has accomplished anything, let alone space exploration or nuclear fusion. Maybe miracles DO exist!

This picture is from our hike today. See more pictures HERE
It was past your bedtime Miss Priss, but you had a joke to share with me. You asked me to come in to turn your fan on and then listen to a joke you had been thinking about for the past 30 minutes.
Here is the joke you shared....
Why did the farmer keep throwing away his sunflowers?
Because they didn't grow any sun!
Oh how you make me smile more than I thought possible. You and your brother are such a blessing. Thank you always for your sweet, feisty spirit. You are beautiful inside and out. I am so very thankful for you in my life.
Tonight, I just want to remember this moment. We had a long, busy day of hiking and grocery shopping. It has been a full day, but a really good one. Laughing with you and getting a bear hug from you tonight, makes all the craziness that life can bring worth it. Thank you for being my daughter and for letting me be your Mom. I love you to the moon and back lil' red!

Ikebana Workshop at Lorton Workhouse
This past weekend I took a workshop in ikebana. The workshop was at the Lorton Workhouse and was led by Joyce Overholtzer. My reason for taking the workshop was to get a better idea and appreciation for the qualities of vases used for ikebana and floral arrangement. The first day, we made arrangements using shallow forms provided by Joyce. For the second day, we used upright forms. I decided to bring along, and use, two of the kohiki vases I've made. The picture on the left is the upright form; the picture on the right is the slanting form. Hope you enjoy the results. And, the workshop did give me some ideas on form and function to incorporate in future work.

text: There is a reality of God that would change every part of our belief system if we'd tap into it. And there's a reason... believers are supposed to be a sign-board pointing toward Jesus-- the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And consider this, we wouldn't need the Holy Spirit if we were supposed to live by the appearance of things... which is why God gave us the gift of REVELATION –to help us see. And part of what God wants us to see is the truth of who He is!

The spiritual growth of our students is of utmost importance. In addition to Bible classes, the students meet weekly to hear the presentation of God's Word. The Elementary meets once a week for chapel. Elementary chapels are filled with "junior church" songs and lesson from God's Word. The Junior High and High School meet twice a week. The JH/HS chapels have a goal to challenge our students to grow closer to our Lord. Our students have the privilege to hear many local pastors and youth pastors share the gospel. School parents are always welcome to come and be part of the chapels.
Family-Like Atmosphere
Licking County Christian Academy strives to provide students with an enjoyable friendly, family-like atmosphere. Although we work hard to challenge students academically, we also work to balance our schedule to allow students to be involved with events and programs that are fun, interesting, and challenging. Our goal is to help students enjoy school life while reproducing the mind of Christ in their minds.
Spiritual Emphasis
Students in all grades receive daily challenges from the Word of God, whether in Bible class or in chapel. JR and SR high students have chapel Tuesday and Thursday and Elementary students have chapel either Tuesday or Thursday. Licking County Christian Academy begins each school year in the high school with a required school camp. The school camp starts the last week in August and goes Monday through Friday.
Fine Arts
Believing God to be the Creator and Sustainer of life, we desire to teach the creative arts and develop within each student the skill, knowledge and understanding of the arts for the praise and glory of God. We encourage standards of excellence, service to God and man, and the search for truth, goodness and beauty within the arts. Knowing God has uniquely gifted each of our students, Licking County Christian Acadmey`s Fine Arts teachers give students creative experiences and opportunities to grow, use, and appreciate their gifts in choral music, drama, and art. There are various performances throughout the year, including the State BCSA fine arts competition for the elementary, junior high and high school, Christmas dramas, Band and Orchestra competition, and many singing opportunities.
Visual Arts
Art students at Licking County Christian Academy explore God`s order and beauty found in the elements and principles of design.They are challenged with design projects and thereby learn that art is a problem solving activity. In addition to this, each grade is exposed to different levels of art and uses ideas from the classical masterpieces of art as springboards to creativity. Students begin with the basics of art and build on them in areas of drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, and ceramics. Most importantly, students learn that whatever they do should glorify God. Art starts in the 1st grade and is offered through a student's senior year.
Our focus in drama is not only to develop skills in voice, movement, and characterization on stage, but chiefly to reflect God in our creativity and to glorify Him in our work ethic. We strive for excellence, seek to assume personal responsibility, and endeavor to put the good of the Acting Company ahead of individual gratification. Each spring the Drama Department puts on a full cast production for the community. Here are a number of the Drama Productions that LCCA has produced: Miracle Worker, The Matchmaker, Oliver Twist, Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, Meet me in St. Louis, The Hound of the Baskervilles, M'Liss My Western Miss, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Our Hearts, Annie Jr., Tale of Two Cities, Treasure Island, The Happiest Millionaire, The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, Nit Wits.
Music students at LCCA learn that music is first and foremost a gift from God that was given to glorify God and edify man. With respect to God's glorification, students learn that music should reflect God's beauty, his organization, and his goodness. With respect to man's edification, students learn that through diligent study, God's musical gift helps us to see who God is and to enjoy his creation for his glory. Students at LCCA are offered continuous practical instruction in technique, theory, and performance. In addition to strengthening skills, students also gain appreciation of selected master works of beauty and the gifted composers and musicians who created them.
Dress Standards
Dress Policies
The biblical principle underlying all standards of appearance is modesty. This not only applies to common decency but to the matter of calling undue attention to oneself as well. The clothing and grooming of our students should be appropriate in the area of modesty.
All junior high and high school students are required to wear a school uniform purchased from a company approved by LCCA. The elementary does not have to wear school uniforms but must look neat. Girls are required to wear skirts or dresses and the boys are required to wear a collar shirt and school pants (no blue jeans). School shoes for both elementary and JH/HS can be a casual shoe or dress shoe (no tennis shoes).
When a student enrolls in LCCA, the parents will receive dress code information for ordering school uniforms.

Koei's Dynasty Warriors games have been one of the most successful beat-'em-up series in console gaming. Combining Chinese historical figures, a solid fighting system, and strong level design, gamers have come back for four games and two expansions. Just when it looked like the franchise could no longer be milked, Koei comes back with a twist. The company is taking an upgraded version of the Dynasty Warriors engine and using it for a game set in 16th century Japan. And while it might seem like "Dynasty Warriors Madcap Japanese Adventure", Samurai Warriors should please fans of the previous games with its new characters, new setting, new weapons, multifaceted storyline, and other nifty features.
Samurai Warriors takes place during the Sengoku or "warring states" period in Japanese history. Following the collapse of the Ashikaga Shogunate, the country is in turmoil. Numerous factions are fighting for power in hopes to shape Japan's future. You get to choose between several characters from Japanese history -- each with a hefty dose of embellishment -- and experience the game from their unique perspectives.
Since I haven't studied Japanese history since college and I can't read the Japanese text in the game, I'll simply list the five characters in the build I played and give you my interpretation of them. First up is Sanada Yukimura, the hot, young, and dashing leader that fights with a pole arm. Those with stealthy leanings, as well as fans of Samurai Showdown, can play as the ninja Hattori Hanzo. Then there's the cute, young, and spunky Oichi, or as I like to call her, "adorable honey that fights with a yo-yo." Appearing in an outfit inspired by Lawrence of Arabia is Uesugi Kenshin, who I've dubbed, "constipated samurai man." Last, and clearly least in my time with the game, is Akechi Mitsuhide, who became, "boring dude that I really didn't play as."
Omega Force has made some improvements and additions to the gameplay. The most immediately noticeable is the game's speed. Samurai Warriors is a faster moving game than Dynasty Warriors 4. The developers have also managed to pack even more characters on screen, upping the body count from absurd to ludicrous.
In Dynasty Warriors, only two factions battled per stage. In Samurai Warriors you'll find situations where there are three. The enemy faction will be marked with red tags, while another faction will be marked with yellow tags. You can choose to ignore, help, or attack the neutral faction, but there will be consequences. Groups you choose to abandon might attack you at a later stage. Getting rid of a potential enemy might make things easier down the road. Or a faction in need might become a valuable ally in the future.
The game is fairly close to completion and although improvements have been made to the ancient engine it uses, the visuals are a definite step behind current games. That said, the gameplay is based on the same entertaining formula that made Dynasty Warriors so popular that they even play it on Fox's The OC. With a new setting, some gameplay twists, and additional variety, Samurai Warriors looks like it will a good game for those seeking a fast-paced beat-'em-up.

Operation Christmas Child has delivered 100 million gift-filled shoeboxes to needy children in the last 23 years and we are trusting God for another 100 million. Can we count on your support in 2013?
The world converged on Orlando this week, all for one purpose: to give God glory for His faithfulness in providing more than 100 million shoe boxes filled with simple gifts for children across the globe.
Operation Christmas Child volunteers from 102 countries, including about 1,500 from across the United States, gathered at the Orange County Convention Center with about 9,000 other attendees on Saturday night to celebrate the milestone, and to get inspired to lead the way in packing the next 100 million shoe box gifts.
Everyone Plays A Role
"It's something God has done and we want to give Him the glory," said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse.The special celebration included music by Michael W. Smith, Matthew West, Ricky Skaggs, the Tommy Coomes Band, Dennis Agajanian, and the African Children's Choir.
Everyone involved with the event and concert—volunteers who collect shoe box gifts and ministry partners who distribute them, the musicians and the speakers—pointed out that the project's success is due to the Lord's faithfulness throughout the years.
With 100 million shoe boxes, we've had 100 million opportunities to share with an otherwise forgotten child about that gift of forgiveness [when Jesus died for our sins] that has changed our lives, and that is what we celebrate tonight," said Matthew West, a Grammy-nominated musician who has traveled to Colombia and Panama to distribute shoe box gifts.
More Than Just A Shoebox
Cissie Graham Lynch, Franklin's daughter, reminded the crowd that Operation Christmas Child and The Greatest Journey are having an eternal impact, not only on children, but on entire communities.
It starts with a shoe box, and it can end with a church," she said, describing a boy she learned of on a visit to Guyana. He enrolled in The Greatest Journey after receiving a shoe box gift, and after he graduated, he went home to share his newfound faith in Christ with his family and friends. As a result, a new church has been planted in his community.
Finally, Franklin Graham took the stage and reminded the crowd that Jesus died and rose again to save them from being separated from God for an eternity.
We've got to have faith like a child if we're willing to believe and trust in God," he said. "God wants to heal your heart." As they celebrated, the crowd praised God for using such a simple means to heal the hearts of millions of children.

A Fraserburgh artist has been selected to create the centrepiece of the Remembrance Hall in Aberdeen Art Gallery when it re-opens next year.
Gordon Burnett's piece 'Forget Them Not' has been specially commissioned for Aberdeen's Remembrance Hall as part of the £30million transformation of Aberdeen Art Gallery.
Following submissions from artists across the globe, a panel of judges selected Gordon's work for the hall.
Gordon's proposal was chosen for its evocative message of remembrance but also of hope.
Aberdeen City Council leader Councillor Jenny Laing said: "This design is a fitting contribution to what is one of the city's most important buildings.
"It offers powerful symbolism which will allow members of the public to reflect and think about the wide reaching impact of conflict.
"I'm also very proud that Mr Burnett, through the use of granite, has represented Aberdeen's heritage and history which will speak volumes to the public."
The artwork will be 3.5m high by 1.1m wide and made from stainless steel, sitting on a dark granite base.
It will be clad with light and dark grey granite and marble pieces and shaped to resemble a Spitfire wing to symbolise conflict in the air.
More than 1,100 jewel-like, blue enamelled Forget-me-not flowers will adorn the sculpture to symbolise memory and remembrance.
Gordon began his career working with granite and has cut many inscriptions on War memorials.
He says he has been able to drawn on those experiences and appreciate the importance of remembrance.
He said: "For me, remembrance is a response to loss with an intention not to forget, stirring feelings of hope for a better future.
"I think the Forget-me-not flowers encompasses those emotions," he added.

Should I Sell Short or Modify?
- May 22, 2010
- Posted by Mcfarlin Law, in Foreclosure Issues
Short sales and home loan modifications are two very useful tools to fight foreclosure, but have two very different results. In most cases, home loan modifications will be the most beneficial option for borrowers and lenders. Home loan modifications reduce a borrower's monthly payments while allowing them to stay in the home. In contrast, short sales require a homeowner to leave their home and may make them liable to their lender for the remainder of the original loan. If a lender forgives a certain amount of debt, some states will tax the forgiven amount as earned income. When viewed side by side, home loan modifications seem far more beneficial and far less expensive than short sales, but short sales do have their benefit.
Homeowners who never planned on living in their home for the entire length of their 30 year loan might consider a short sale so that they can move on to where they really want to live. If a lender forgives a portion of the loan in a state that does not tax forgiven debt, the homeowner could come out on top.
A short sale is a great alternative to bankruptcy if a loan modification request is denied. A bankruptcy has the potential to stay on a person's credit report for up to 10 years, while a short sale doesn't even appear as "short sale" on the report. When a short sale is listed on a person's credit report, the information is often reported as "settled" or "settled less than owed". In most cases, a person with a short sale reported on their credit report can be a strong candidate for a new home loan in as little as two years.
There are some homeowners who decide that homeownership is not for them. Many individuals who face foreclosure realize that owning a home is more responsibility than they really want at this stage of their life. Being a renter is simply easier than being an owner. Renters don't pay any property taxes, they don't have to mow any lawns, and if any repairs are needed, all they have to do is report the necessary repair to their manager, eliminating the need for hours of calling around for quotes and estimates. If a person decides that homeownership is not for them, modifying the terms of their loan would not be ideal because home loan modifications keep the borrower bound to a contract, while a short sale allows the borrower to sever most, if not all, commitments to a lender.
Deciding between home loan modifications and short sales is a personal choice that should be made with sound legal advice being considered. An experienced real estate attorney can explain the pros and cons of each option that a homeowner has. The attorney will evaluate the needs and desires of their clients before advising them on which option is best for them. A local expert in law would be best to explain the pros and cons of each option because the laws of each state can negatively or positively impact the decision of the homeowner.

Hi Christy - welcome back, so glad to see you back here! Yay! And remember, a post can be just a couple lines. (I need to follow that advice myself)
Congrats on your 25th wedding anniversary! Wow! And so sorry to hear your sister's diagnosis. I know diet advice may sound kooky but her physicians will be giving her diet advice, and I keep hearing about how a ketogenic diet (very high-fat, very low-carb) can slow or stop cancer growth in some cases. Here's just one article about it:
You can find books out there on it and other articles. This may be a useful supplement to her medical treatment. Just wanted to mention it and I hope it does not come off in any negative way.
All best.

The restored and redeveloped Pumphouse in Barry, South Wales has been highly commended at the Royal Town Planning Institute's Wales Planning Awards. WYG acted as the planning consultants for the project.
A focal point for the regeneration of Barry's historic waterfront, the Grade II listed Pumphouse will provide a mix of uses including a restaurant, café bar and bistro, fitness club and 15 live/work units. The building is one of the few hydraulic Pumphouse buildings left in Wales and, with its imposing 42 meter high chimney, is an important landmark. The first residents moved in in November.
The Pumphouse had previously been on the Buildings at Risk register. In 2009, The Vale of Glamorgan was instrumental in securing the funds and necessary approval for the new roof and external repairs to prevent the building falling into further disrepair. Planning permission and listed building consent were granted in October 2014. The restoration and redevelopment works were finished in August.
Jon Hurley, an Associate at WYG who worked on the project, said: "We are delighted to have received recognition at the prestigious Wales Planning Awards and we are hugely proud to have been involved with such an innovative and exciting project."
The Pumphouse is a centrepiece of the Innovation Quarter, a 19 acre, mixed-use development site overseen by The Vale of Glamorgan and in partnership with the Welsh Government. This urban quarter has learning, employment, tourism and leisure uses such which complement and enhance the wider waterfront.

Hypercalcemia appeared shortly after induction of hemodialysis in three patients in whom serum parathyroid hormone concentrations were not markedly elevated, whose serum alkaline phosphatase values were normal, and in whom skeletal surveys did not show hyperparathyroid bone disease or metastatic calcification. Parathyroidectomy in two patients resulted in a decrease in parathyroid hormone concentration to normal, but hypercalcemia persisted. In a third patient, who was not subjected to parathyroidectomy, serum calcium values returned to normal after each of two renal transplantations but remained moderately elevated each time hemodialysis was resumed after allograft nephrectomy.

Celebrating the contribution made by small creative businesses is at the heart of the inaugural Colour Saturday held today.
The event, coinciding with Small Business Saturday, has been set up by online marketplace notonthehighstreet.com (NOTHS) to "shine a light" on this sector, and the skills and "more thoughtful approach" it brings at a time of year associated with mass consumption.
The company has installed an interactive digital Christmas tree in Edinburgh, showcasing some of NOTHS' Scottish partners. Its chief executive Simon Belsham said: "The world's most innovative design-led businesses started in the UK and we haven't really got a day to celebrate everything that they do, so our ambition is that Colour Saturday become a day in the festive calendar for years to come."

Reel to Reel: Bouncing Cats
May 2 , 2011 Show: 9:30PM
Before the hit exhibit Hip-Hop: A Cultural Odyssey ends on May 4, join us in the Clive Davis Theater for a special screening of Bouncing Cats. One of the featured documentary films of the second season of The LA New Wave Intl' Film Festival, Bouncing Cats is the inspiring story of one man's attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda using the unlikely tool of hip-hop with a focus on b-boy culture and breakdance. In 2006, Abraham "Abramz" Tekya, a Ugandan b-boy and A.I.D.S. orphan created Breakdance Project Uganda (B.P.U.). The dream was to establish a free workshop that would empower, rehabilitate, and heal the community by teaching youth about b-boy culture. Crazy Legs, one of the founding members of the world famous Rock Steady Crew, visited Uganda after receiving an invitation from Abramz to teach b-boy classes. What he discovered upon his arrival was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Bouncing Cats follows Abramz, Crazy Legs, and Breakdance Project Uganda on a journey to use hip-hop culture for positive social change. The film features narration by Common and interviews with Mos Def, Will.I.Am, and K'Naan.

John Edgar's show is a collection of dark, eccentric and often bleakly funny stories of Breton life, and death, after sunset, in a land where daytime is for the living but night is the
All these characters and more are vividly drawn in this faithful adaptation of some of the darkest tales ever to cross the channel. The stories come from a range of sources, most notably the work of Anatole Le Braz, a Breton academic and writer who collected many stories and "first hand accounts" from across north Brittany for his most famous work "La Légende de la Mort".
The following year John added Breton Christmas Spirits.
John's third anthology of Breton tales and stories was 2006's cheerily-titled Curses, Corpses and Conjurations.
In 19th Century Brittany
life could be dramatic enough, but what happened next was
far more exciting. And even if someone were still alive
there was always a curse to speed up the journey to the
great beyond. But once you'd killed them, what if they
wouldn't lie down? What if they didn't want to keep still?
In this collection of dark, eccentric and bleakly comic stories and folklore, we learn about the voueueses, those with the knowledge and power to curse, we meet the dead who won't lie down (like the skull that wants its bonnet back), and we encounter the exorcists whose job is to try and make sure that the departed stay where they belong. And, of course, there are John's usual hints and tips for keeping on the right side of death. From the hidden statues that could give justice where it was due, through ghostly revenants unable to rest until things were put in order, to the brave priests and unwilling volunteers who dragged reluctant spirits of the dead to the very gates of the Other World, this is a bleak and eccentric celebration of a time when two worlds met on a daily – or, more often, nightly – basis.
John's fourth Breton collection, Intersigns - Tales From a Breton Fireside, premiered in 2007.
In 2010, John presented his latest anthology, Tales From The Ankou's Wagon.
see, few hear, fewer live to tell the tale
Sooner or later, usually
later, everyone ends up taking a ride on the back of the
Ankou's creaking old cart. Brittany's own Grim Reaper never
sleeps, never stops working and sees everything. Each
passenger has their story to tell, but only the Ankou gets
to hear the last part.
John Edgar brings us another collection of dark, eccentric and often bleakly funny stories of Breton life, and death, in a land where life and death walk hand in hand, and sometimes cross over at the most inconvenient and terrifying moment.
"When I first saw John he took my breath away. He was performing one of his Breton Tales and it was like the pupil and the master ... There is never a moment when John is performing that the audience isn't captivated by the theatrical way he weaves his stories."
Billy Spakemon - RoosterSpake
New for 2018, The Tailor, The Devil and Other Breton Tales
From the deeply chilling
to the bleakly comical, and told in story and song, John
Edgar's latest anthology draws us into the world of that
handsome, seductive stranger the devil and the artful
cunning rascal that is the tailor, in another strange and
chilling round of the hidden beliefs, fears and dreams that
were once at the heart of life - and death - on the other
side of the channel.
All Breton Tales performances are available for bookings and require nothing more than a space for John to tell his tale. Contact John for further information.
Visit the Breton Tales After Dark website for more information.

New phones headed to Tracfone, Net10posted by Joe on March 1st, 2010 - 8:30 am | Tracfone
Some people have a knack for finding new goodies. Among them is HoFo user The_Sweeper. He always picks up things that I don't see from other people. Most recently it was the addition of four phones to Tracfone. How did he catch this while no one else did? Instead of finding them on the basic shopping page, he found them on the activation page. Clever. These models, two LG and two Samsung for Tracfone, plus a Samsung QWERTY for Net10, aren't quite available yet, and we don't know a whole ton about them. What we do know is that they're headed for these carriers, and the wait shouldn't be long.
Judging by the pictures, which you can find in the linked post, the Samsung T155G is a basic flip phone, complemented by the T101G, a candybar model. The LG models, 420G and 320G, appear a bit more advanced, but that's just from their shells. For all I know, they could be just as basic as the Samsung models.
The interesting phone in the bit is the Samsung R355C. I'm not sure what it will run like, but it features a full QWERTY keyboard and, unsurprisingly, somewhat resembles the Blackjack line Samsung makes. The_Sweeper says it resembles the Samsung Freeform, and a quick look at the phone bears that out. So expect a 1.3 megapixel camera, MP3 player, and expandable memory. I'm sure we'll learn more soon, too.
Apparently, these phones hit the FCC a week and a half ago, but I don't remember seeing any reports at the time. I only found this article when searching for these models prior to writing this post. So it looks like we're not far from seeing these five phones hit Tracfone and Net10.

- Contact us
"Bordeaux, UNESCO registered since 2007, is undoubtedly the world's wine capital. It is well worth visiting along with its vineyards which are France's largest with 60 different appellations and around 10,000 châteaux. The best way to visit is with a local wine expert to show you around 'the best of Bordeaux', peeking behind the scenes and to make it a trip of a lifetime. Here are some tips from a local wine lover guide to give set you on your way and give you a taste of this wonderful region.
What do you need to know? There is not a pre-requiste 'savoir-faire' before visiting the vineyards of Bordeaux, just an interest in wines and a desire to learn more. Not only will your guide be able to give you the background behind winetasting itself, the vineyards, the different wine villages, the Bordeaux wine trade and the process of winemaking wich will help to make your château visits come alive, they will also take you behind the scenes to see what the average tour does not. Wine is about people and meeting those that make the wine gives a visit another unforgettable dimension.
How long to stay? If you can try and stay at least 3 days; one day for the Médoc, one for St Emilion and one to spend in the beautiful Bordeaux city centre.
What to wear? Visiting the vineyards and cellars of wine properties is not a fashion show.Wine is an agricultural product and you are there to understand how it is made. Cellars are around 16°C throughout the year so make sure to bring along a light pashmina, jacket, cardie however hot it is. Wear comfortable suitable shoes without high heels so you can get around without falling over."
An excellent review about traveling in the Bordeaux wine country. Nicolle Croft suggests here lots of things to do in the area. This article will guide you to know what to visit, when and where to stay.

Undercover video of Twitter engineers reveals how tech giants have devolved into dangerous left-wing censorship regimes
Posted by $ Olduglycarl 2 years ago to Video

Liberal progressive brainless inductees just can't keep a secret.
As bad as one might like to post something on facebook or twitter to inform the masses...your likely to be shadow banned...so why bother?
The best way I know of to deal with this is: Stop Doing Business with them, no FB, Tw or googling anything...but there are so few of us that still have a head on our shoulders...what good will that do when over 50% or 99% of every big city in America, voted for hiltery and leftest idiotologys...we are out numbered.
I stopped using twitter/facebook to promote my book long before coming to the Gulch...just because of the nonsense that was being posted. (pre-Trump)
I like it here better.
As you'll see in the videos below, these radicalized left-wing cultists openly admit to all the following things:
"Shadow banning" conservative users by covertly making sure their tweets vanish, never to be seen by other users. This insidious form of covert censorship is only applied to the twitter accounts of users who espouse conservative ideas, such as protecting national borders.
Secretly spying on the private messages of users and sending those messages to the government without a warrant or an official request.
Collaborating with Twitter management to actively silence conservative users while looking the other way when liberal or "progressive" users make open death threats or call for violence. "Liberal" twitter users are essentially given a free pass to say anything they want, including calling for violence against the President.
Operating as part of an organized cult of high-tech totalitarians who despise freedom of speech or even the freedom to think. They exploit their positions of power to selectively silence those opinions they don't like. Much like other left-wing cultists, they claim to be doing all this in the name of "social justice."

- Posted by Abaco 2 years agoMan...That's a powerful video. What to say about so many people here being so anti-American in their beliefs and practices?
Years ago when I was very young my dad ordered a controversial book. The mailman delivered a box of shredded newspaper, instead. Dad called the publisher and they said, "Oh yeah. The postmaster has been given the order to take our books out of the boxes and replace them with shredded paper." So, they resent the book in plain packaging and dad got it. The book? "None Dare Call it Conspiracy". See the connection here?... I think it's notable.
Useful idiots (as many of these young people seem to be to me) are very dangerous.
- Excellent reading.
- As I have observed, woodie's useful idiots created Useless Idiots.
I am going to look up that book.
I just Yahooed it, seems to be a lot of suggestions here, including a PDF file.
Do you remember the authors name?
- Does Gary Allen sound familiar? Amazon has it.
- Posted by Abaco 2 years agoyep
- Posted by jdg 2 years agoI would love to stop doing business with them. But only one company has wired the neighborhood where I live, and it's one of the Big 8 media multinationals.
In the meantime I would much prefer to see them lose their power through more competition than through government. Because a government with the power to make them stop filtering their feed would be even scarier than they are.
- Posted by chad 2 years agoControlling thought has always been the objective of those who garner power (the right to use violence against others) and while it was more difficult in times past, you had to have someone searching and interacting on a personal basis in order to catch the libertine, it has become faster and more deliberate in searching out entire masses of people to discredit or disenfranchise. Controlling what people think is an easier way to keep them slaves than to put chains on them. It also works more efficiently for the slaves will keep themselves enslaved.
As we move ever closer to the complete control envisioned in the book 1984 I keep thinking there must be someplace else for me to live. I used to have an idea for it but with the advent of the internet and interconnected ring of bots I am thinking there is nowhere to go.
- Posted by davidmcnab 2 years agoA few years back, Twitter ceded censorship authority to some committee of uber-leftist feminist types. This group can use a Twitter API to search the whole database of Twitter posts for anything they deem objectionable and summarily erase it without explanation, or even ban the user.
- Originally, I thought, was to get rid of nudity, profanity. violence and terrorism, (isis and other idiots), However, we see the opposite, eliminating truth and promoting lies, stupidisms, immorality and progressivism's.
- Posted by term2 2 years agoI don't need other people to pay attention to my every move, so I don't do twitter or Facebook. I reluctantly use yahoo for searches, but try not to use google. I just don't like that google knows too much about me and cooperated with givernments
- "Givenments"? Kind of fits if you meant prejudgements at to what you would expect to fine in your searches; but I am sure you meant: governments.
- Posted by term2 2 years agoI have wondered who controls autocorrect. Sure wasn't liberals this time !
- Ever notice how stupid "spell check" is, half the words you want to use, even when you have spelled them correctly, doesn't recognize them?
I don't use autocorrect for that reason and when I want to find the right spelling of a word, I use it in a sentence in yahoo search. The search suggestions are always spelled correctly.
- Posted by jimjamesjames 2 years agoI only go to the sites that I can enjoy and learn:
I have facebook for family and friends
- Posted by $ Olduglycarl 2 years ago in reply to this comment.My, my...you are a mixed bag of enunciation's.
- Thinking about winning that teddy, I'm now pretty sure that expert was trying to figure out where I was from, not where I was born.
This was during the 80s when I was an off-duty corrections officer visiting the Jefferson County Fair (where Birmingham is at).
My dino memory dims as the eons slide be.
- These little manipulators are in a silicone valley campus infested with control freaks many millionaires at young ages offered stock in high flying techs as compensation. That is not bad, it is their guilt of instant wealth that feeds their compartmentalized brains at once making them parrots of all the lib buzz that permeates their life plus judge and. jury of what they have been brain washed or thru coercion adhere to.
These Instant monied geniuses who know next to nothing outside of code and algorithm push for Autocratic leftist control. I would love to put Google into the circular file.
- Unsurprisingly Wall Street is infested with the same elitist attitudes.
- Funding and support for startups . Who gets the contracts ? where does the capital flow ? With crony capitalism as Ayn Rand pointed out in Atlas Shrugged the looters and mouchers. Orren Boyle
Of Associated Steel was funded and business thrown at him by his looters. This is much like today and Obama's solar co ripoff Solyndra.
- Perfect example...not to mention the Derivative market...
- I suspect that much of Twitter's popularity comes from outside the beltway looters, but Twit is not profitable and without changes they won't be profitable. Therefore they continue to do their damage to society by getting voluntary investment from others for various reasons, some political.
- Deletist!...they have Nothing on us except crony connections and a penchant to usurp.
- Yes, "Silicone" valley, (laughing)...a fake, man made valley bordered by two silicone mountains! Now, if they were only attached to an attractive female...they might come to their senses, confess their transgressions of "Instant wealth" and not giving any of it away.
I think you are correct: It's all about Guilt...deserved or not that drives these leftest inductees.
Silicon Valley inhabitants could save us but probably will enslave us all because of their own guilt.
- I will preach to the choir.
What a fraudulent philosophy that guides these hypocrites ALLinclusive except people with an opposing view then they will steal their free speech. I would like to see harsh punishment for violating this constitutional right. This is the "Uncivil War" that is also an undeclared war. Liberty and freedom are being attacked from the inside like a malignant tumor. I would like to see the atty gen go after these violators.
- The more we hear, see and observe, everyday...it's looks more and more like Bizarro's world.
Maybe the magnetic cloud our solar system has been traveling and just now starting to exit was filled with "Anti-Matters:..?
- Hi OUC ,
I saw this following video last week.
This has a focus on the moon's eliptic and the weather changes that corelates with the moon's
Proximity to the earth. It would be a great addition to Adapt2030's work.https://http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/Dobrien
- Bizarro explained!...should be interesting...
Yes, I have seen this work...it's bewildering all the cycles the moon goes through and all the effects...just goes to prove..."It's NOT your fault!
I'll take a gander at the video this weekend...as always, I'll be cooped up at hospice working.
- I am working on a painting and another waiting in the wings. Looking for a check for the one I mailed on Tuesday .It is Happy work.
- Wouldn't it be nice if all work was "happy work"...
That's what Mark Hamilton's "Friday Night Essence" was meant to find out. What work or activity is aligned with your inner essence, therefore, making you happy while doing it.
- Very well said. I will have to look into Mark Hamilton 's book.
This is a discussion I have been having about parents of delayed children. For a conscientious parent their number 1 goal is to main stream the kids as best they can. A worthy goal but it should not be at the expense of happiness.
- The books are costly and not offered in the lamestream. Neothink was originally a "secret" group, but now is open to all.
You can find him on youtube or, if you like or have the time, I would be willing to ship you my personalize copy. It's about 3000pages. It took me 2 months to read and reawakened my connection to my mind and the Big questions no one would discuss with me when young.
PS. That's where I learned of Ayn Rand
- Now I am more curious to learn a bit
That is a good attention span 2 mo.s
Thanks for the offer one day I may take you up on it.
- Yes, that was amazing. The longest time I stuck with something without getting bored or distracted...it was like my mind wasn't operating at 20/20 and just needed corrective lenses for a while...I no longer need those lenses.
If you look him up on youtube, you should find a series on "Friday Night Essence".
The offer still stands anytime you ask. It has been my observation that you know much already and at least would benefit from the video shorts.
Oh Yea, That is where I was introduced to the works of Jaynes also.
It took me a year before I could reasonable discuss any of it and my finger was no longer flapping my lips as I tried to speak.
Then one day, My mind magically put it all in perspective and I started individual studies on each topic.
I started to write because I saw additional correlations even Mark did not see.
But I always credit him in my work.
- "enslave us all"
What do you think would happen away from safe spaces and where they are confronted with real live rednecks?.
- So you are saying: wait till we play cowboys and immigrants?
- As usual, I think the state programs that support the delusions of these people must be de-funded by the people. Until we stop funding our enemies (the ignorant, brainwashed 50% of the population and their masters) we can expect more of the same. I'm not saying this will be easy, but revolutions rarely are easy.
- Posted by Owlsrayne 2 years agoThese kids are intellectual idiots and their language reminds of the Dutchman on History Channel's Gold Rush, they can't finish a sentence without using disgusting foul language. These are the ones who working at Twitter and Facebook who are controlling social media? I'm appalled! They should not have job at all. From their accents they're not native born Americans, denouncing this country like they do, their green cards should be revoked. Deport them all!
- Posted by $ blarman 2 years agoFacebook a la Zuckerberg was under fire for similar things last year.
I gave up on "social media" a long time ago. More often than not it's just mob hysteria being ginned up - not actual news. And I'm not that desperate for attention that I post things about my life. I prefer good old-fashioned face time (not the app).
- Interesting that no one interviewed speaks native English. Hardly surprising non-English speakers would oppose people who want to limit immigration and will use their power to make such lawful people irrelevant.
- Thanks to the H1B immigration program...the one where the Americans were fired but not till after they taught the immigrants how to do the job.
- I think I see an algorithm there.
- Or were they targeted for the interviews because they are immigrants? Were there other Twits who have the appearance of traditional Americans but oppose traditional self reliance and individual liberty and use their positions to suppress free speech?
- Me dino jotted the following insanity down while watching the video~
One twit with a foreign accent said, "Republicans are all from Russia and they wanted Trump to win."
- Thanks, I was laughing too hard to write, dino.
Takes the mass of a allosaur to resist ROTFLMAO at such Twits.
- My toothy mouth was too busy dropping wide open out of sheer disbelief.
- Oh,...so now these leftest idiots are blaming Us again for the communist intrusions they themselves are enamored with.
- "Smokescreen" comes to mind.
- Or...Riddled with Guilt.
- Don't think they are capable of guilt. Their Marxist utopian end justifying the "Rules For Radicals" means of any dirty trick is okay by them.
- There are some that wake up and escape...Thomas Sowell...comes to mind...initial guilt although not realized was likely the driving process. Same goes for this incessantly blaming others so as to relieve that guilt...the remainder, do not have that ability.
There are "some" conscious humans caught up in this crap...at some point, the guilt would outweigh the Stockholm syndrome.
- David Horowitz. Me dino been trying to think of his name for hours. Well, off and on~
Afraid "some" are in a distinct minority, though.
- Fit's my statistical observation that there are not many people in this world that have a connection to the conscious mind.
- In other words~those who cannot think for one's self?
The youth culture of the late 60s had a heavy influence on me once a lib dino. I let myself be led and bought into socialism.
Being drafted and placed in the Marines only made it worse.
Marines returning from Vietnam were demoralized. Most had signed up for four years. I could escape after serving two.
Never heard of Ayn Rand until the AS1 DVD came out. So it was a GI Bill paid for college course in basic logic that began to teach me to think for myself.
I still voted for Jimmy Carter, though voting for a Dem back then was (not think George Wallace) as lib as it is now.
Jimmy Carter's presidency of malaise topped off the transition of my thinking.
My vote for Ronald Reagan's first term was my first vote for a conservative.
- I think a lot of us went through that stage, although, my dad was a republican and I followed suit, only later did I learn, most times, it was the right thing to do. I was an independent for a while until I learned that I had no candidates to vote for so I may as well get involved so I could be a tiny voice that may determine whom would run for pres.
- Far as I know, my dad voted the straight Republican ticket his entire life.
My mother scoffed at that but would not discuss politics. So I never knew who she supported.
today her side of the family are just about all Yankee Dems, as far as I know, a hefty number of them having retired to central Florida.
My parents moved from Massachusetts to Alabama when I was four-years-old. It was the company dad worked for thing.
- Mass. to Alabama...that must have been culture shock.
- Three other company related families came down with us. We were kinda tight as I grew up but then I met other friends.
One time in elementary school I had to say the word, aunt, in a sentence. I said it the New England way instead of pronouncing it "ant" as Southerners say it. (I've long since adopted the Southern approach).
Several kids complained that I said aunt wrong. With intoned disdain, the teacher said, "That's the way THEY say it."
I stared at the teacher, thinking, "They? Who are they? Damn Yankees?"
Schools were still segregated at that time.
I recall at least three teachers pronouncing Massachusetts as Massa-tu-setts. I'd also hear it on local radio and TV from time to time. Some weird regional pronunciation hang-up. Didn't let it bother me.
I sound Southern to a real New Yorker and Yankee to a real Redneck.
I won a teddy at a fair because a dialect expert could not figure out where I was born.

Johannesburg-based illustrator Simphiwe Mangole says that getting into trouble for drawing in his textbooks was a weekly routine. Now, the 25-year-old illustrator and designer is happy to report that he does it for a living.
His is work, influenced by popular graffiti and cartoons like Dragon Ball Z, features bold linework, colour and urban subject matter. He attributes his daring approach to design to where he grew up. He describes it as a nowhere coal mining town called Dundee in KwaZulu-Natal. It's the type of small town atmosphere that forces a young person to be creative to deal with the boredom.
Mangole has interned with Graeme Jenner and Rob McLennan of King James II. This was followed by a 3 month stint at Y&R's Labtsore. He was later offered a job at Mullen as a junior designer, where I worked on brands such as SANBS, Nando's and Nestle. He received his first Loerie award for work done on SANBS.
