text: Just when you think that country music has slipped into the crossover pop vortex some music comes along to restore your faith in some real hardcore traditionally influenced examples of the form. Those who miss the early days of BR5-49 when Chuck Mead and Gary Bennett shared the lead vocals on a set of "true stories" will be well pleased with the Cactus Blossoms. The two main men are Jack Torrey and Page Burkam who have their sibling harmonies down to a T and individually sound like they were running around the honky-tonks with their heroes. This short 10 track CD is lean and effective with the original songs, largely by Jack Torrey, sitting easily beside classic songs from the early 50s era. Two feature here, the traditional Lost John Dean and Alton Delmore's Blue Railroad Train which show the versatility of the vocalists and the supporting players - who are Mike Razz Russell on fiddle, Randy Broughten on upright steel and bassist Liz Draper. This trio add much to the overall sound of this tight Minnesota-based combo and balances youthful exuberance and experience This is as fine as a debut album as you could wish for and highlights the enduring nature of country and, yes, western music.

Correction Appended
ONE day early last year Oren Moverman, an Israeli-American screenwriter directing his first film, "The Messenger," met his two lead actors, Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster, outside T.G.I. Friday's at Penn Station in New York for a field trip to Washington.
With visits to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Arlington National Cemetery, it was to be a sobering journey, a preproduction reality check as they embarked on an Iraq War-related movie hoping to defy the notion of a box-office curse against such movies. Yet it began on a quirkily amusing note: Mr. Harrelson, having woken up with raggedy hair but without a fully charged electric razor, arrived with his head half-shaved.
Aboard the train Mr. Harrelson whipped off his ski hat, saying, "Want to see something funny?" Mr. Moverman, 43, ushered Mr. Harrelson, 48, into an Amtrak bathroom so that he could shave the other half of his star's head. By the time the three men disembarked, they had forged a bond — not only for the trip, during which they were so moved by a wounded soldier that they renamed their protagonist after him, but for the emotionally draining filmmaking that followed.
"I'm not a crier, but I probably cried dozens of times during this thing," Mr. Harrelson said. "And Oren, he'd hug you. He was almost like a father, and Ben was like my brother."
Mr. Foster, 29, who recently moved to New York City from Los Angeles to live near Mr. Moverman, said of the three men's chemistry, "It sounds phony, but it really was like a steamy, sexless, three-way love affair."Continue reading the main story
"The Messenger," which opens on Friday in New York and Washington, reflects this fierce intimacy. It is a war movie, but the war, unlike in most films about Iraq and Afghanistan, is completely off screen; nothing explodes, and flashbacks to Baghdad or Tikrit do not occur. The film instead focuses on the relationship between two casualty-notification officers — a crusty career sergeant (Mr. Harrelson) and a wounded soldier just back from Iraq (Mr. Foster) — whose mission is to knock on doors and deliver news of death to next of kin.
As a coming-home-from-war/buddy movie "The Messenger" is, in one sense, quintessentially American. Shot at and around Fort Dix in New Jersey, with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans as extras, it has true grit and flavorful dialogue. ("I'd like to strap her on and wear her like a government-issued gas mask," Mr. Harrelson's character says about a comely bartender.) Yet the film, written by Mr. Moverman, who was raised in Israel, and Alessandro Camon, who grew up in Italy, has a distinctly European feel that sets it apart from other Iraq War-related films. It is visually spare, dialogue-intensive and restrained in its plotting.
That the director spent four years in the Israel Defense Forces, absorbing viscerally what he calls the "emotional landscape" of war, distinguishes the film too.
"It's a kind of insider-outsider perspective," Mr. Moverman said.
Tall and bald, with a loose-limbed, cargo pants-wearing, backpack-on-one-shoulder casualness, Mr. Moverman spoke in his film distributor's loftlike office in downtown Manhattan about the odyssey of making "The Messenger," which, with a budget under $10 million, he portrayed as the little war movie that could.
The project began three years ago, before the first spate of war-related films (including "In the Valley of Elah," "Redacted" and "Stop-Loss") was released. Mr. Moverman, a co-writer of the unconventional Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" and the more conventional drama "Married Life," was chatting with Mr. Camon, a producer and screenwriter, about the "unseen aspects" of the war.
"This was at a time when you actually could not see certain images, like the repatriation of soldiers' coffins," Mr. Camon said. "We talked about how, despite the extensive coverage of the war as a political issue, there was a blind spot related to the human cost of it."
Mr. Camon had tripped over a reference to a casualty notification, and he and Mr. Moverman started thinking aloud about the soldiers charged with delivering the bad news and the trauma — and drama — that they must witness and experience. On the basis of a synopsis, they found backers and wrote an initial draft that added a romantic attraction between the Iraq veteran and a war widow, eventually played by Samantha Morton.
Mr. Moverman identified best with Mr. Foster's character, the disoriented returning veteran. "I was a guy who would come back from Lebanon in the head space of a combat zone, land in civilian life and not know how to react," he said. "I'd close myself up in a dark room and watch 'Apocalypse Now' over and over."
Mr. Moverman knew how casualty notification worked in Israel — four service members, including an army physician, are deployed — but the writers had to research how the Army here did it: a knock on the door, a scripted message from the secretary of the Army, the facts of the death and a relatively quick retreat. (Casualty-assistance officers followed.)
"It has gotten more sophisticated over the last eight years," Mr. Camon said. "But it's never going to be an exact science because the job is to break someone's heart."
The first director they approached about "The Messenger" was Sydney Pollack, whom Mr. Moverman had once chatted up in a Starbucks.
Mr. Moverman describes his career as a series of fortuitous encounters, like the one with Mr. Pollack, that turned into opportunities. He had emigrated from Israel after completing his military service, which he found disillusioning. Settling in Queens, he got a job working security at John F. Kennedy International Airport, enrolled in a filmmaking program at Brooklyn College and, because of a chance meeting with an American sound editor while on patrol in 1985, soon got a toe in the business's door.
That day in the tense West Bank city of Hebron, Mr. Moverman's sergeant had asked him to stop a tourist from shooting videos. The tourist, infuriated, vented about the Israeli occupation. Mr. Moverman said he disarmed the man by acknowledging that he saw things much the same way. The man gave him his card. "If you ever get to New York, call," he said. Three years later, Mr. Moverman did, which led to a production assistant job with the Maysles brothers' film company.
"How exactly do I know you again?" Mr. Pollack responded when Mr. Moverman contacted him about "The Messenger." Soon the veteran director was deep inside the script, with the two screenwriters sitting "literally at his feet" in his New York apartment, Mr. Moverman said. But Mr. Pollack wanted them to refocus the film on the romantic attraction between the Iraq veteran and the war widow: "I make movies about love stories that can't happen," he said, according to Mr. Moverman. It did not work out. (Mr. Pollack died in 2008.)
Next Roger Michell, the director of "Notting Hill," came on board. "One of his first notes was, 'Think of it as a French film,' " Mr. Moverman said. "So O.K., a French film: we decided to start it with a sex scene." After a year Mr. Michell dropped out, and Ben Affleck, who had just directed "Gone Baby Gone," briefly took on the film. Finally the producers asked Mr. Moverman to direct it himself. "By that point there was an idea that this movie is going to have to be made despite everything everyone is saying: 'It can't work. People are not ready. Iraq War movies don't make money,' " Mr. Moverman said.
Conventional wisdom held that the public did not want to think about the Iraq War while eating popcorn. But Mr. Moverman and Mr. Camon did not accept that and argued that the movie industry could not ignore "one of the defining events of our times," in Mr. Camon's words. Other filmmakers, like Jim Sheridan ("My Left Foot"), appear to feel the same way. Mr. Sheridan's "Brothers," which deals with the familial reverberations when a Marine is thought to have perished in Afghanistan, is scheduled for a December release.
To Mr. Moverman and Mr. Camon, theirs was not really an Iraq War movie, anyway, but a nonpartisan, life-after-war movie. "The bottom line is that war is not a good thing," Mr. Moverman said. "But it takes no point of view in terms of this particular war."
That helped with the military. Mr. Moverman sent the script to the Defense Department's liaison office in Hollywood. Some movies seek the military's support "to borrow our toys — hard to rent an aircraft carrier," Lt. Col. Paul Sinor, retired chief of the Hollywood office, said. Others want access to military settings or guidance on military culture but only get it if the military is portrayed "realistically," he said, adding that he had declined to support "In the Valley of Elah" and "The Hurt Locker."
"The Messenger," though, directly appealed to Colonel Sinor, who had been in charge of what he called the Army's "killed-in-action branch" in 2005. "I knocked on those doors myself," he said.
Still, he said: "The script, when it came into my office, was a good idea that needed — how do I put this? — some help for the Army to be able to support it. Alessandro and Oren wrote it kind of from the outside looking in, and it needed more of the insider looking out."
Much of that was tweaking. But he cautioned the writers to think twice about letting the contemplated romance develop. "I know guys in the Army with the morals of an alley cat, but no one would hit on a widow," said the colonel, who ended up the film's technical adviser, which included locating nonleather Army-style boots for Mr. Harrelson, who is vegan.
Casting began. Mr. Foster, who is best known for roles as a sadistic outlaw in "3:10 to Yuma" and Claire's bisexual boyfriend in HBO's "Six Feet Under," won over the director with his intensity during a five-hour lunch at a SoHo bistro. Mr. Harrelson, eating off Mr. Moverman's plate at a Zen Palate restaurant, persuaded the director, who had originally considered him for a secondary part, to cast him as the ramrod Capt. Tony Stone. "A director who shall remain nameless told him once he could never play a soldier because he's too much of a hippie," Mr. Moverman said. "So he saw it as a challenge."
For both actors the trip to Washington, where they spent time with wounded soldiers and casualty-notification officers, was "heavy," as Mr. Harrelson put it, and broadened his pro-peace stance. "It's one thing to be antiwar," he said, "but to get a sense of what these soldiers go through was the missing piece of the puzzle in my own philosophy."
For Mr. Foster, stepping into Walter Reed meant entering the universe that had taken shape in his mind over two months of preparing for his role.
Escorted by Colonel Sinor he visited the bedside of a 19-year-old soldier, Will Cook, who had been badly wounded by an improvised explosive device. The soldier had a buzz cut, wore a black-metal T-shirt and talked matter-of-factly, and with dry humor, about his situation, Mr. Foster said. Describing a problem with the stump of his amputated leg, he asked Mr. Foster if he wanted to touch it.
"I knelt down next to him aware of my own knees, but soon we were just two fellas talking," said Mr. Foster, who subsequently asked to change his character name to Will, from Derek.
"The Messenger" was filmed over 28 days last year. The six casualty-notification scenes were each shot with a hand-held camera in one long take. Mr. Moverman separated Mr. Harrelson and Mr. Foster from the actors playing the next of kin until the shooting began: "Ben and Woody didn't know who would open the door to them," he said. "It was very, very intense."
To make a more powerful statement, Mr. Moverman said, he would have loved to have made a 90-minute movie consisting entirely of notifications. "But that," he said, "I don't think anyone would have to come to see."
An article last Sunday about the film "The Messenger" misstated, at one point, the rank of the character played by Woody Harrelson. As the article noted elsewhere, he portrays a captain named Tony Stone, not a sergeant.

Veterans Say Schools Aren't Being Fair
CLAYTON, Mo. (CN) – Three state school systems are taking advantage of veterans by misapplying state "Heroes' Act" tuition benefits, according to a class action in St. Louis County Court. The class claims the schools – the University of Missouri, Southeast Missouri State University and Moberly Area Community College – "maximize" their own revenue while increasing costs for combat veterans.
The Missouri Returning Heroes' Education Act, of 2008, limits tuition at all state-funded public colleges to $50 a credit hour, so long as the veteran maintains at least a 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale. To qualify, the veteran must be a Missouri citizen when entering the military, must have served in a combat zone since Sept. 11, 2001 and must have been discharged honorably.
"This case challenges the defendants' policy of applying 100 percent of gift aid directly to tuition, rather than considering the total 'cost of attendance,' resulting in a reduction, or elimination, of the benefits that veterans are supposed to receive under the Heroes' Act," the complaint states.
"By applying 'gift aid' in this manner, defendants effectively eliminate the functionality and purpose of the Heroes' Act, and combat veterans are required to pay substantially more to attend MPIHEs [Missouri Public Institutions of Higher Education] than if the 'gift aid' was allocated to other qualified costs of attendance."
The five named plaintiffs claims the schools violated the letter and the intent of the Act, which specifically mentions cost of attendance.
"Diverting all 'grant aid' funds to pay only tuition damages Missouri combat veterans because it strips them of aid to pay for room and board, living expenses, books and supplies and transportation. … By applying the gift aid directly to tuition, defendants routinely collect tuition at a rate that exceeds the rate allowed under the Heroes' Act," the complaint states. "This maximizes revenue to the defendants and increases cost to combat veterans."
The class consists of all veterans who have or who may qualify for tuition discounts under the Heroes' Act. They seek damages for violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act and an injunction.
They are represented by Stephanie To with The Simon Law Firm in St. Louis.
The University of Missouri includes the University of Missouri-Columbia, University of Missouri Kansas City, University of Missouri-St. Louis and Missouri University of Science and Technology. Moberly Area has campuses in Moberly, Columbia, Edina, Hannibal, Kirksville, Mexico and Macon.

Chuffed with receiving Nazism for Dummies last Christmas from his lovely wife Margaret, Prime Minister Abbott has been randomly dipping into a few pages of a night time. Operation Fortitude was his second preference when he found out Operation Barbarossa was taken. Now he's wheeling out the infamous Treaty in press conferences to explain his flagging fortunes.
The government is planning an election in March preceded by Anschluss with New Zealand in about February.

Jacob piled a bunch of food on a tray so he could bring breakfast up to Greta. She was still staying in the tower though the door was no longer locked. Jacob felt that keeping her out in the middle of nowhere was enough to keep her from running off with Fairytales again. He had told her not to leave the tower and she seemed very willing to cooperate.
Even though the door wasn't locked, he still wanted to talk to Greta and bringing her breakfast seemed like the best way to start a conversation. He took the stairs two by two, careful not to drop the tray. "Greta!" he said cheerfully. "I have breakfast and coffee! Can you open the door?"

The Toy Box - Confirmed Artists
10am - 5pm (Tuesday - Saturday)
The Toy Box: From Pop to Present is a new exhibition, exclusive to The Gallery@ The Civic, exploring the use of toys in the world of contemporary art and design. By using British Pop Art of the 1950s and 1960s as a starting point and the movements it inspired, the exhibition will showcase paintings, prints and sculpture from around the world.
The Toy Box also takes a look at how toys have inspired the world of design, including furniture, fashion and even artist design collectable toys, such as Urban Vinyl.
The exhibition will feature internationally renowned names such as Eduardo Paolozzi, KAWS, Jason Freeny, Jimmy Cauty, Glennray Tutor and Ron English, alongside the best of British contemporary artists and designers, including Sarah Graham, Joe Simpson, Wayne Chisnall and fashion designers Fyodor Golan. The Civic also welcomes new contributions from local names such as Julie Newton from Barnsley and Fabric Lenny from Holmfirth.
Some of the artists and designers include:
On loan from Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a selection of eight prints from Eduardo Paolozzi's General Dynamic F.U.N., fifty screen-prints and photolithographs created between 1965 and 1970, and Moonstrips Empire News, a portfolio of 100 print releases in 1967. These vibrant images by the self-styled 'wizard in Toytown', juxtapose familiar faces of consumer advertising, high fashion with Hollywood of the 1960s.
Also on loan from Yorkshire Sculpture Park is Companion Resting Place by KAWS, the acclaimed Pop Art and designer who exhibited his monumental sculptures in Yorkshire Sculpture Park last year. KAWS' Companion, a grey-scale clown-like figures, sits reclined and dissected, showing the inner workings of the artist's creation.
The Skateroom's is an organisation whose main purpose is to help empower youth using art and skateboarding, through partnerships with organisations such as that with the non-profit organisation Skateistan, and their exclusive artist collaborations. They have previously worked with Ai Weiwei, Shepard Fairey, the Andy Warhol Foundation and the Estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat, and have just released the "Kateboard" with Grayson Perry at the Serpentine Galleries.
On display in The Toy Box will be a collection of 10 skateboards featuring selected works from Paul McCarthy's famous 1991 series of photographs, PROPO. It was through the sale of this collection that The Skateroom financed the building of Skateistan's first facility in Johannesburg, South Africa.
An American artist specializing in sculpture, designer toys and computer-generated imagery. He is best known for his anatomical art, where he produces cutaway drawings of (typically toy) inanimate objects such as a Lego man, Barbie doll, the animated fish Nemo or a balloon art dog.
Better known as one half of as one half of the duo The KLF, co-founder of The Orb and as the man who burnt one million pounds, Cauty is also a prominent activist and artist, known for his anti-establishment message. His Riot in a Jam Jar sculptures are constructed by modifying components of traditional model railway kits and are inspired by 2010 student protests.
A British Pop-Photorealist painter, known for her oil paintings of toys and sweets. She was commissioned to paint the cover for Kaiser Chiefs' album Souvenir and has been reference in the GCSE art exam paper, opening up her work to a whole new audience. Exhibited for the first time will be two new toy themed oil paintings.
Established in 2011 by Fyodor Podgorny and Golan Frydman, the fashion label won the Fashion Fringe Award in 2011. They are known for their playful and experimental designs using bold colours and while each collection is completely different from the last, they are always instantly, recognisably theirs. They have previously collaborated Transformers and most recently PowerpuffGirls, but for this exhibition, we will be showing their collaboration with My Little Pony.
Freya Jobbins in an Australian based assemblage sculptor and printmaker. Freya's assemblages, like the unusual portraits of the Milanese painter Guiseppe Arcimboldo with a hint of the Toy Story Trilogy; she creates humanoid busts and portraits using a very non-traditional material, discarded children's toys. An artistic exploration, of the relationship between consumerism and the culture of up-cycling and recycling.
Laura Keeble is a British artist, who uses interventionist and subversive strategies to create pauses in perception and question societal norms. She quickly gained notoriety in 2007 with a parody of Damien Hirst's work For the love of God in which she created a replica of this artwork using a plastic medical model skull with 6522 Swarovski crystals, and left discarded with a pile of rubbish bags outside the White Cube gallery the day after Hirsts' exhibition had closed. Her installation work has appeared in Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Street Art.
With over 50 works exhibited, the total list of exhibiting artists and designers is as follows:
Eduardo Paolozzi, Glennray Tutor, Sarah Graham, Joe Simpson, Jimmy Cauty, Wayne Chisnall, Freya Jobbins, Laura Keeble, Fyodor Golan, Anne-Sophie Cochevelou, Anthony Lycett, Ron English, Jason Freeny, Whatshisname, Sauce Studios, KAWS, The Skateroom & Paul McCarthy, Fabric Lenny, Julie Newton, Mighty Jaxx, ToyQube and Designbytouch.

Maximise European gross sales by actively proudly owning relationships and being the primary level of contact for all commercial, technical and after-sales help issues. As a manager, one of many foremost concerns to a company is creating and exploiting enterprise opportunities which are presented to you and your organization. For many who description is a little bit uncomfortable, but an expert guide is an impartial enterprise individual (or company) who works on the pleasure of YOU. The time period supervisor growth refers back to the progress a person makes in learning the right way to manage.
I am going to address each method that has worked for me. But before I get to the budgeting and financial savings, I want to handle three frequent patterns around enterprise improvement expenditures that need to shift earlier than you can consider effectivity and effectiveness in business pursuits. Dalam tahap membangun bisnis baru, prinsip dasar BD adalah melakukan valuasi strategis dan eksplorasi potensi manfaat dari bisnis tersebut. Driving sales is another function the place enterprise growth is usually categorized.
It may be cheaper to get one or two expensive twenty-percenters who can substitute a number of underperformers and do a greater job. Too typically, I actually have encountered business managers hiring Sales people and classifying them as Business Developers. Therefore, they expect the enterprise improvement professional to come outfitted with their homework completed and with questions already set. Manager supports the institution and enchancment of human capital for essential success of organization. Companies spend billions of dollars every year to educate their work power, and most of this money is spent on in-home training and growth.
Part of business development is convincing other individuals to do sure things, equivalent to offering help, lowering prices, or making investments. Drag job titles to analyze a selected path and click on on a hyperlink to see where explicit profession can lead. Therefore, care should be taken whereas choosing the suitable Business Manager for the agency. It could also be a job performed by the proprietor of the corporate or another management particular person, or it could be possible to hire somebody exclusively to do that work. In this trade, event-managers generally get business by means of outsourced work.
A Business Development Manager with late-career experience which includes employees with better than 20 years of expertise can expect to earn an average whole compensation of $104,000 based mostly on 715 salaries. I will handle the precise how-tos in the upcoming posts on easy methods to be good about the way in which you might be spending the business development cash, and by implementing the right controls – so stay tuned.

It looks like former WWE star John Cena is well on his way to becoming a bona fide action star as Dwayne Johnson announces he'll headline the upcoming The Janson Directive from Universal Pictures. The movie is based on the Robert Ludlum book of the same name.
Johnson was originally tapped to star in the movie as well as serve as executive producer alongside business partner and ex-wife Dany Garcia and their Seven Bucks Production company, but pulled away from his acting duties when his schedule became too full. Cena and Johnson share a history, working alongside each other as professional wrestlers in the WWE, and Johnson seems thrilled he's able to work with Cena once again.
RELATED: DWAYNE JOHNSON'S FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY Pushed
Johnson, who has become box office gold over the last few years, announced the casting of Cena in the starring role of The Janson Directive on Instagram. "Found my star! Congrats to my good bud John Cena on landing the lead role for our movie, The Janson Directive," Johnson wrote. The actor-producer doubled down on the annoucement via Twitter, playfully teasing his friend about not screwing up the role. See Johnson's posts below:
Found my star! Congrats to my good bud John Cena on landing the lead role for our movie, THE JANSON DIRECTIVE. A project that myself, @sevenbucksprod, our production partners and Universal Studios have been developing for years now. Congrats man and I'm excited to go on this journey with you. Thank you for your commitment to the role and remember, as your producer if you screw up, I'm coming to set and droppin' the People's Elbow on ya. And you know first hand how devastating my elbow drops can be 😉💪🏾 Congrats my friend and let's go make a good one. #JansonDirective #JohnCena #SevenBucksProds #CaptivateEnt #WeedRoadPics #MythologyEnt #UNIVERSAL
Found my star! Been a long time coming and congrats to my good bud @JohnCena on landing the lead role for our film, THE JANSON DIRECTIVE. And if you screw up, I'm layin' the smackdown on ya 😉💪🏾 Lets work hard and make a good one. @SevenBucksProd https://t.co/pfYKbBGHAa— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) April 30, 2018
Cena took to Twitter to respond to Johnson's announcement, writing, "Humbled and HONORED for this incredible opportunity! The hard work starts..NOW!"
Ben Smith and Jeffrey Weiner of Captivate Entertainment will serve as producers on the movie with Seven Bucks Production's Hiram Garcia. James Vanderbilt, Brad Fischer, and William Sherak of Mythology, and Akiva Goldsman of Weed Road Pictures will also join the production team while Mythology's Tracey Nyberg will also act as executive producer. Cena will star as Paul Janson, a former Consular Ops agent turned private security consultant. It certainly seems like the kind of movie that could definitely turn into a franchise, and Cena seems to be on the path to becoming a rising action star in his own right.
The wrestler has already made a name for himself on the big screen with bit parts in the comedies Sisters and Trainwreck before landing a lead role in the current movie Blockers. Now that he's landed the lead in The Janson Directive and the previously announced lead in Duke Nukem, it seems that Cena will probably segue away from his wrestling career and focus entirely on his acting career. With someone like Johnson, who has successfully made the transition himself, championing him on, it's looking like we'll be seeing a lot more of Cena on the big screen in the future.

Good morning. Here's everything you need to know in the world of advertising today.
1. This is what it's like to attend one of "King of Instagram" Dan Bilzerian's legendary house parties. The VP of creative and innovation at mobile marketing and technology company Somo was lucky enough to get an invite.
2. Tim Cook said during his company's earnings call on Monday that we are on the verge of major changes to media. And Apple wants to be a part of that, he added. Streaming, perhaps?

4. Here's a full list of the best companies to work for in America, according to employer information website PayScale. Google and Facebook are the top-ranking companies.
5. Facebook has added video calling to its Messenger app. It even works with Android, unlike Apple's FaceTime.
6. ESPN is suing Verizon over its "Custom TV" pricing plans. ESPN alleges that Verizon violated its contract by placing it in a sports tier, according to documents filed Monday in New York Supreme Court.

ICYMI | Catching Up with #9 Cade Clason
By Billy Rainford
In case you missed it, the Frid'Eh Update belonged to #9 Cade Clason last week. He's been busy working for FXR while he's on "vacation," so we grabbed him for an interview to see what's new.
Cade Clason has been coming to Canada so regularly that we've adopted him as one of our own. In fact, a lot of people out there don't realize that the rider who now calls Club MX in Chesterfield, South Carolina, home is actually a Buckeye from Ohio.
"What's round on both ends and high in the middle?"
I got to know him way back in 2011 when he was a young, up-and-comer training down in Waldo, Florida, the same year young Adam Cianciarulo was tearing the amateur circuit on Superminis. Cade was #52 back then and I was driving around in the old MX Ranking RV.
Cade came up to Canada and got hooked up with Josh Snider and the Redemption Racing gang. Since then, Cade has been as reliable on the starting line when our series started as any of our top guys.
Well, fast forward a few years and Cade has been forced to sit out of any AMA/FIM sanctioned events after a test found him to be using Adderall without the proper clearance. That's another story that's already been covered enough.
With the announcement that our new series won't have the FIM/CMA sanctioning in 2018, it opened the door for Cade to again come north this summer. In the meantime, he can be found helping out all the FXR-supported riders at the Supercross series.
We grabbed him for a conversation to find out more about all this. Here's what he had to say:
Direct Motocross: Hello, Cade. It's been an interesting year, but you've come out smiling. Can you tell us what you've been doing for FXR so far this season?
Cade Clason: Basically, I've just been being a gear rep at the race. I go, talk to the team managers to see if they need anything done or changed. Also, I go around to all the riders and make sure they have everything they need and are happy. I bring any and all the gear to the races and just help Andy and Carson out as much as I can.
Since you're penalty, what have you been doing to keep riding fit?
Well, I started training again about a month ago. I had shoulder surgery to finally get it fixed because it had been bothering me. Just getting back into the normal training routine is nice. I really enjoyed my time off, though. I hadn't had any in a while and it was nice to just relax and not worry about dirt bikes for a while.
Are you ready to race right now?
I'm getting there. My speed isn't quiet there, yet, and I'm still changing a lot on the new bike. But fitness-wise I feel great. So, as long as I can get the bike where I want it, we should be in good shape.
So, since the new Canadian series isn't CMA/FIM sanctioned, you're legal to race in Canada in 2018. I've heard you're coming, but I haven't heard it from you. What's your plan for next summer?
I'll be back, but I can't ruin any surprises, just yet. I'll be up sooner than later…
Come on…who will you be riding for?
Like I said, can't ruin any surprises yet. But I'm happy for a change.
OK, OK. Did you watch the first round in Abbotsford last week? Aside from the mud, what did you think?
It was cool. Those guys did a great job setting everything up and getting it ready. I heard the crowd was big and it was well run. Obviously, the track sucked but that really isn't their fault. Hoping to see the track be really good in Calgary.
FXR is everywhere you look these days at the Supercross races. How busy are your days? What's next for the brand?
Yeah, we have a lot of riders, but that's something I really enjoy. I get to go around and meet a lot of people and help a lot of my friends. So, I'm never bored at the races. As far as growing, the company is constantly talking about trying new things and expanding. Their dealer meeting for the 2019 product was unreal, with so many new and improved items, so look out for that.
Speaking of Supercross, what are your thoughts on the season so far?
It's been awesome. Obviously, it sucks seeing guys get hurt, but the racing has been really good. Both classes are really deep and it's just been really exciting.
We should learn a little more about you, personally:
Music: I'll jam to just about anything.
Band/Singer: Blink 182
Movie: Really, any series of movies like Fast and the Furious and Harry Potter. I love that stuff.
TV Show: Last Man Standing (if you haven't seen it, go watch it).
Car: BMW
Truck: Chevy Silverado
Bike: Honda 😉
Track in Canada: The one at Kaven's house….. I don't remember the name…. something French (Laughs)
[We would have accepted, "Notre Dame du Bon Conseil."]
Book: Yeah…no.
OK, Cade, thanks for taking the time today. Jeff and I will see you this weekend, and who would you like to thank?
Well, I have a few sponsors that have already signed on to help me this year, which is awesome: Dunlop, Rekluse, Pro Taper, Dirt Tricks, Bills, BWR.
Don't worry, Jeff will ply him with about a bunch of Starburst candies and we'll get the story out of him this weekend in Atlanta. Thanks for the talk, Cade, and it will be good to see you in Calgary for rounds 2 and 3 of the Arenacross series… *wink, wink.
Actually, Jeff then grabbed him for a podcast conversation when we physically saw him down here in Atlanta. ICYM that, you can listen to it here:

Albanian wine
The Albanian wine (Albanian: Vera Shqiptare) is produced in several regions throughout Albania within the Mediterranean Basin. The country has one of the oldest wine making traditions, dating back to the ice and bronze age whereas Ancient Illyrians and Greeks inhabited the country's territory some 3,000 years ago. It belongs chronologically to the old world of wine producing countries.
Albania is a mountainous Mediterranean country and extend within the Mediterranean Basin with the Mediterranean Sea in the west. The country experiences a distinctly Mediterranean climate, which means that the winters are mild and summers usually hot and dry.[1] The favourable climate and fertile soil of the mountainous areas of the country are well suited to viticulture.
Albania produced an estimated 17,500 tonnes of wine in 2009.[2] During communism, the production area expanded to some 20,000 hectares (49,000 acres).[3]
The territory that is now Albania was one of few places where wine has naturally grown during the Ice Age. The oldest found seeds in the region are between 4,000 and 6,000 years old.[4]
Along with the neighbouring Greece, Albania has the longest continuous history of viticulture in Europe.[5][6][7][3] Within Illyria it existed hundreds of years before the expansion of the Roman Empire in the Balkan Peninsula.[8][9] The ancient Roman writer Pliny the Elder described Illyrian wine as being very sweet or luscious and refers to it as taking the third rank among all the wines.[10]
During the Roman period, wine production increased and became more organized. Decorations on numerous religious and household items bear witness to the wine-making culture such as in Butrint.[11] Although later in the 15th century, the Ottoman Turks arrived in Southeastern Europe. During that period the vineyards experienced a decline and were mostly found in Christian-majority regions.
After the Albanian Declaration of Independence, viticulture gained widespread popularity but was almost destroyed in 1933 by phylloxera. A significant upturn began only after the Second World War, at the end of which wine was still cultivated on only 2737 hectares. The most important producing region was around Durrës, where grapes were grown by communist state enterprises. In that time the nationwide acreage corresponded approximately to that of tobacco, but was significantly lower than that of olive and fruit trees. The exported wine was consumed primarily in Germany. The export decreased continuously from 61,000 hectoliters in 1971 to 22,000 hectoliters in 1985. The reasons are to be found mainly in outdated production conditions and insufficient technical material that made it difficult to transport and lowered the quality. On the other hand, the export of easily transportable raisins was continuously in increase (up to 3500 tons per year), while the export of fresh grapes was marginal. The most common varieties were Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese and Riesling.[citation needed]
Wine production in Communist Albania reached its peak in 1972. At this time there were 23 operating wineries and 47 grape production sites.[citation needed] They survived the transition to a market economy in good condition. Vineyards and wine production has been steadily increasing in recent years following the institution of democracy and capitalism.
|Vineyard area (ha)

Wine regions[edit]
Albania can be separated into four wine regions, which are mainly defined by their altitude.[12][13][3] The regions includes the Coastal plains, Central hilly region, Eastern mountainous region and Mountain region. The highest vineyards sit at altitudes of approximately 1,000–1,300 metres (3,300–4,300 ft) in the slopes of the Albanian Alps in the north and Pindus Mountains in the southeast.
- The coastal plains (Western lowlands) rise to 300 m/990 ft and encompass the towns of Tiranë, Kavajë, Durrës, Shkodër, Lezhë, Lushnje, Fier, Vlorë, Pukë[14] and Delvinë.
- The central hilly region varies between 300 and 600 m/1,980 ft altitude and includes Elbasan, Krujë, Gramsh, Berat, Përmet, Librazhd and Mirditë.
- The Eastern sub-mountainous region lies between 600 and 800 m and surrounds the towns of Pogradec, Korçë, Leskovik and Peshkopi.
- Mountains (Highlands) vines are also grown as high as 1,000 m/3,300 ft. Soils are generally clay silica of varied depths and exposures.
Indigenous grape varieties[edit]
The main indigenous grape varieties found in Albania are: Shesh (black and white), Kallmet, Vlosh, Serinë, Pulës, Cërujë, Mereshnik, Debin (black and white), Kryqës, Mjaltëz, Mavrud, Manakuq, Kotekë, Vranac, Stambolleshë, Babasan, Tajgë (red and white), etc.
List of Wineries[edit]
Wineries (kantina in Albanian) in Albania include: Medaur,[15] Kallmeti,[16] Rilindja, Skënderbeu, Çobo,[17] Luani,[18] Bardha, Arbëri, Sara, Vintage, Kardinal, Zika, Belba, Nurellari, Balaj, Koto, Vila Duka, Vila Shehi, and Kokomani.
According to Nasse and Zigori (1968) the best native Albanian wine varieties are Debinë (noir and blanc), Kallmet, Mereshnik, Mjaltëz, Serinë (rouge and blanc), Shesh i Bardhë, and Vlosh.[19] The best wine-producing regions are Berat, Korçë, Tiranë, Durrës and the region between Lezhë and Shkodër.[20]

Fall brings some of my favorite elements of wardrobe. Delicious sweaters, neutral booties, and ALL.THE.HATS.PLEASE. I wanted to share some of my current obsessions with you. If you see me around just be nice and try to ignore the fact that I will most likely be wearing one or all of these items...
As many of you well know, I wear hats a lot. When I'm in a dressing room trying things on I will envision outfits. I'm sure it sounds super sane of me when I'm talking to myself like this top with these pants...oh and a hat. I fell in love with this tan one at Brass Anchor in Saugatuck. Favorite aspect? Wide, stiff brim. Uber important when it comes to your hat checklist. I'm all for a floppy hat (especially in the fall for some reason) but love the structure that hats like this provide for your hair/face.
I find this to be an essential part of wardrobe specifically in the fall. Whether it's a flowy-er one like this, a tailored button up, or a cozy tank, it's crucial for layering under coats and sweaters. I found this little gem at The Found Cottage in Hudsonville.
Stop in to Found Cottage for the one in my pictures or I found similar options here and here.
I'm a sucker for jackets. Of all kinds. Especially when you live where we live, coats put on a lot of mileage. When I met this one, I was smitten: long, nice weight, generous hood, and great pockets=win. This was another find from Brass Anchor. It's been my go-to for some of the cooler days we have had. Each time I wear it out, I have been stopped by admirers who want to know where they can get it...Michigan folks don't mess around when they spot a good coat ;)
Stop in to Brass Anchor for the one in my pictures of I found similar options here and here.
These distressed jeans have been on me almost everyday since I got them. They're insanely comfortable which isn't always a given when it comes to jeans, let's be real.
There's a solid 95% chance if we ever see each other in person that I will be wearing these shoes. They compliment EVERYTHING. I know that it might be on the pricer side, but they're so worth it since you will most likely wear them every day (literally).

It's all been adding up for the UConn men's basketball team.
It's all been adding up for the UConn men's basketball team.
Fifteen straight days of practices and games. Two contests in three days. Seventy-two hours of emotional and physical exhaustion. Distractions, 3-pointers, miles — you name it, the Huskies have logged it.
So when the score clock hit "8:33" in the second half Monday, and A.J. Price missed the front end of a one-and-one free-throw situation, Jim Calhoun just knew it.
"We fully ran out of it," the coach said.
That's energy to which he was referring. Not heart, not adrenaline and at least for the time being, it's certainly not wins.
Despite allowing Louisville to erase a 10-point second-half lead in the waning moments Monday at the XL Center, the Huskies fought off fatigue, cramps and an off-balance Cardinals 3-pointer with three seconds left to capture their fourth straight win, a thrilling 69-67 victory played before 15,120 fans.
A.J. Price led all scorers with 20 points and Stanley Robinson (16 points, 10 rebounds) and Jeff Adrien (12 points, 10 boards) both posted double-doubles again for the Huskies (15-5, 5-3 Big East), who were still without Jerome Dyson and Doug Wiggins to indefinite suspensions.
"This team, we're very determined," said Price, who added seven rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes. "We know everything that's going on with all the other distractions, but this team is coming together as a unit and we're playing good basketball right now. ... We just made a point to ourselves that we have to play harder."
It's still unclear how long UConn will be without the services of the Dyson and Wiggins, who missed their second straight game. The guards, both 20 years old, were caught with alcohol while parked in an on-campus parking lot Thursday — according to a UConn police press release — news that prompted their suspension Friday before the team's 68-63 upset win of then-No. 7 Indiana.
Wiggins was issued a summons for operating under a suspended license and possession of alcohol by a minor while Dyson received just the latter.
According to a report on the Hartford Courant's Web site Monday, a small amount of marijuana was also found at the scene, though no charges were filed against the players. Wiggins and Dyson have since taken drug tests, the results of which are expected Wednesday at the earliest, the Courant reported.
"I can't tell you today who we're going to have, maybe the exact same team that we had out there or maybe a different team," Calhoun said. "I don't have the information right now to make that call."
What Calhoun does know is he has a gutsy group, a point guard he said "is starting to prove that he's one of the best guards in the country" and a very tired bunch of players who will get their first day off in more than two weeks today.
They certainly deserve it.
The Huskies controlled the boards (40-29) against a very good Louisville frontcourt and the Cardinals (15-6, 5-3) struggled mightily from the outside, making just 11-of-33 3-pointers, which accounted for more than half of their 60 total shots.
"Some nights it's never there, but against this (UConn) team, it's always there," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said of the 3-point shot. "We only took (two) challenged shots the whole game. ... But you gotta be able to make that shot in college basketball. At 55, I can make that shot."
The Huskies didn't make theirs (3-of-11), but remained poised against constant Louisville pressure, making just 11 turnovers and 18-of-23 free throws.
"We're basically going on adrenaline," said Craig Austrie, who scored nine points in 36 minutes. "We wanted to get the win and this is a big win for us."
It got harder as the game went along. Up 10 with 10:39 to play, UConn allowed Louisville to go on 13-3 run fueled by three 3-pointers, that last of which tied the game at 61-all. UConn responded with two Price lay-ups, a thunderous dunk from Hasheem Thabeet (nine points) and two Austrie free throws that helped make it a five-point game with 44.4 seconds to play.
But again Louisville came firing back, slicing the deficit to two on a Jerry Smith 3 and then ripping the ball back from UConn when it trapped Austrie and forced a tie-up, the possession arrow in its favor.
But with Louisville working for a last shot, the Huskies' never allowed a clean look as Juan Palacios (a team-high 16 points) threw up a contested 3-pointer that hit off the backboard and the front of the rim before falling into the hands of Austrie as time expired. The junior flung the ball in celebration and embraced Price, another unlikely win in the books.
"That's what good teams do, they know how to end games," Austrie said. "It seems that once we get the lead, we do a good job keeping it and we don't give it up. Great teams, at the end of games, know how to close games. I feel the last couple games we've done a real good of that."

It's time to talk GlamGlow again.
As if they haven't delivered enough this year, they've dropped a couple of absolute beauty game-changers recently, making this a very exciting year for GlamGlow fans like me. Last time I spoke to you about them, it was regarding the My Little Pony Limited Edition range, which still remains one of my favourites and I use the masks regularly. (As a pink lover, I'm sure you'll know why!) In all seriousness I really do rate GlamGlow products, and it's one of few mask brands that I've used consistently this year because they've given me such great results.
Having been a brand-fan since they launched their masks, I was there with bells on when they moved into everyday skincare too. So when I saw the first snippets of the GlowPowder Palette, I actually think I did a little squeal. Every time this brand take new ground in terms of their products range, it's always something that excites me. I just can't say enough good things about them.
The GlowPowder Palette is a bit different to previous releases, and that's why I liked it from the get-go. Is it make up or skincare? Well, technically GlamGlow say both. To me it's make up that's infused with skincare, and O.M.G it's mind blowing.
The palette itself is housed in the cutest rubber style setting – which I've never seen on a palette before, ever. So I love that it's different from the outset. Inside it features three shades of highlighter: Nude Glow, Sun Glow and Pearl Glow. All of which sport a very different colour so you'll find this to be a versatile highlighting palette that will suit all skin tones and also carry you through the seasons perfectly. It's got the pale colour for fair skin tones and during the winter months and the the more bronze tone to carry you through summer and for the darker skin tones. It really is a versatile every day palette that anyone can enjoy.
The powders themselves are infused with hyaluronic acid – which in the skincare world is the ingredient used to combat fine lines and wrinkles, and is recommended for plumping the skin. You'll find it in most skincare that aims to fill, smooth and plump the skin in any way – it's the wonder ingredient of skincare. The powders being infused with this mean you should be able to plump and smooth the areas where it's applied.
Dusted over the high points of the cheeks and the bridge of the nose, you can also use the bronze shade to go over your normal contour. Because the GlowPowder palette will also blur imperfections too – which means it doubles as a great setting-type of powder as well. I find the texture to be really creamy and luxurious – it's like butter! And it applies like a dream. With buildable coverage you can stick with a muted highlight that's subtle and delicate or build up to an all-out highlight that's blinding: it's entirely your choice.
I find that the pigmentation on this is seriously impressive. For their first 'make up' product, GlamGlow have done well with this. It delivers high colour payoff, buildable colour and it ticks all the highlighting palette boxes. And it's cute too, so extra points there. I can't comment on whether it reduces lines, as I don't have any across my cheeks where I use this, but I can say it smooths and blurs my whole cheek area making my make up have more of a glamorous and glowy appearance.
I also like the price-point on this. At £32 it's well worth splurging on in my opinion. The GlowPowder Palette gives a nice twist on a typical highlighting palette and the pigmentation is ace as well. It's made me hope that GlamGlow will do more make up infused skincare products in the coming months and years too. Because if so, I'll be there with bells on.
Also, before you return to scrolling, I want to mention the newest addition to the skincare realms at GlamGlow – the Instamud: 60 Second Pore Refining Treatment. This beaut has ticked another box for me as well because I'm really loving quick-apply skincare right now. Everyone seems to be upping their game with the one minute miracles at the moment – GlamGlow included. This treatment mask needs only 60 seconds on the skin as it bubbles upon contact to invigorate and energise the skin. It refine the surface of your face, and cleans the pores to create a softer and smoother layer of skin. I LOVE this for the evenings I want to face mask but just don't have time. Plus it's quite cool watching it puff up! So pick up the Instamud too.

Recently I met with Ben Pryhoda from Training Peaks (while attending the FirstBeat HRV Summit in London). Turns out he is an Apple Watch wearer, as well as a plant powered athlete like myself (We met while waiting for the woefully inadequate vegan lunch option which consisted of a tiny oil drenched salad, but that's another story)
He kindly invited me to write a guest blog over on their site about using Apple Watch and TP together to train for an IronMan.
Here's the result :) Enjoy (tap the image below)

In today's fast paced life it's tough for a few of us to maintain a wholesome lifestyle. It's race for time from your second we wake up in the morning-we only get a couple of minutes to gulp down a sip of coffee prior to we rush out to our workplaces and also the relaxation from the day is really a blur and flurry of operate. This running about continues till we drop down to rest and also the subsequent day the cycle begins anew. This kind of the life is unhealthy particularly for all those who've weak bodily systems-even for all those having a powerful immunity it causes other kinds of problems. Tension, anxiousness, tension, obesity, lethargy are but a couple of from the problems. The disorders, which in turn, come up from them, are very serious.
An irregular diet plan or incorrect eating routines and also the lack of physical exercise causes main digestive disorders. Constipation is one this kind of condition. It's the inability to pass stool in a regular method, or it's merely the hampering of regular and normal bowel movement. Constipation causes the solid excreta to remain in the physique for also lengthy and also the physique begins releasing toxins that are very dangerous. There are a few natural constipation remedies, nevertheless. For gentle instances one can drink a glass of h2o every single day following waking up.

anticipation of forthcoming penalties
There are rumours floating around the web that Alan Kelly, Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government, is bringing out, after the Easter Holidays, measures to combat non payers of the disputed water charges. After the good weather over the Easter break all Government ministers will be returning to the arena, well tanned, refreshed and raring to go. They will be there cheering Alan Kelly, urging him on to fulfil Nero's destiny and send the lions in to maul the condemned protesters who defied him by refusing to pay.
For anyone not up to speed with the issues around Irish Water, Buncrana Together wrote an article (Fine Gael/Labour Government Panic Over Non Payment Of Water Charges). This should give you details on the background.
What will his punishment be? Will it have the desired effect? The lions are waiting with bated breadth. Will his punishment be, creating fast-track courts, taking money out of wages, deductions from social welfare benefits or putting it on rents or property? He will give us his answer maybe this week. As for the desired effect, Alan should take a lesson from Nero who chose to persecute the Christians in hideous ways to cover up his mistakes. Despite his great brutality Nero found himself public enemy and he was brought down.
In the end of the day it may not matter what legislation the Irish Government brings in. Fliuch, a Cork based anti water charge group, has told us " Apparently Alan Kelly is bringing in the legislation when they come back after the Easter break but whatever he brings in can't kick in until the already announced penalty dates expire."
Interesting! What penalties? Does legislation exist already to tackle nonpayment?
Irish Water state on their web page
"The Water Services Act (No.2) Act 2013 does not allow customers to be disconnected for not paying their water bill. Irish Water will engage with customers to understand the reason for non-payment and may be able to provide a solution, taking into account the customer's circumstance.
All customers who have unpaid arrears of at least the annual capped charge and haven't entered into a payment plan with Irish Water, will attract an automatic late payment penalty of €30 (1 adult household) or €60 (all other households) for each year that the charges remain unpaid. This will be added to bills three months following a year of non-payment."
So it turns out there are penalties on the statute books already, kicking in after 15 months and these charges will be levied each year of non-payment.
Ruth Coppinger, Socialist TD, said in the Irish Examiner on March 24, 2015
"On penalties we will now have to see if the Government are going to change the law for a third time, their only other option is to impose heavy fines, let's see if they dare to change the law,"

If you're experiencing a feeling of déjà vu after seeing these photos, it's because this car was featured in 2012 on our website. The Ferrari Testarossa Spyder was not built by Ferrari, although the carmaker did commission Pininfarina to build a one-off model for the late Gianni Agnelli.
The silver-colored one-off really attracted a lot of attention at the time, with coachbuilders seeing a business case for converting Testarossas into convertibles. One of these companies was R. Straman of Costa Mesa, California, which converted a black Ferrari Testarossa for the 1987 Pepsi commercial "The Chopper", which featured Michael Jackson behind the wheel. The conversion work cost $40,000 at the time.
Available for no reserve at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona (January 12-19), the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Spyder had a major service done in February 2013 by factory-authorized L.A. dealer The Auto Gallery that set the owner back $17,680. The car's service history dates back to 1998.
Powered by a 4.9-liter flat-12 engine producing 390 horsepower and 361 lb-ft (489 Nm) of torque, the Testarossa coupe was able to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) from a standstill in 5.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).

The St. Nick Fun Run, although fun, is about more than the celebration of St. Nick's legacy of generosity towards all, especially children. It is about continuing that generosity to those in our community who would like to be a part of our school but cannot afford to do so. Since 2012, we have reached out to our school community, our church community, and our running community in an effort to raise funds for our Tuition Assistance Program. The response has been heartwarming. Thank you!
St. Thomas Early Learning Center students run a modified course, celebrating fun, fitness, and the legacy of St. Nick. Parents line the route to cheer or actually run with them! The family friendly Merry Mile, as well as the 5K/10K, is on the Saturday closest to the Feast of St. Nick but not on the same weekend as the BCS Marathon. The race course runs past Brison Park through the scenic historic neighborhoods of College Station.
Join us at STELC for the 2019 St. Nick Fun Run on December 14th to raise money for Tuition Assistance! The run starts at St. Thomas and runs through the College Station historic district. This family friendly event is a FUN way to celebrate the holiday season! Bring your running group, the kids, the grandparents, the dog…. anyone who wants to get out and have some fun this season. Strollers and scooters are OK but PLEASE no bikes.

After TLC canceled their show 19 Kids & Counting, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar added child number twenty to their large family, but not many fans knew about their new son, Tyler. He stands out because he doesn't have a "J" name like the other Duggar kids, and that is the result of him coming into their lives a little differently. But even though their family continues to grow, they still find themselves linked to a child abuse scandal that is causing some controversy.
The Duggars adopted Tyler back in 2016 and made it official on their Facebook page last year when they announced his 9th birthday. And in November, the courts granted the former reality TV couple permanent guardianship of Tyler, who is Michelle's grand-nephew.

— FutureStarr (@FutureStarrcom) February 13, 2018
According to Mommyish, Tyler is the grandson of Carolyn, Michelle's sister. When Carolyn's teenage daughter, Rachel, couldn't take care of her son, he went to live with his grandma. But after Carolyn suffered a stroke, Tyler went to live with Jim Bob and Michelle.
A source close to the family says that they couldn't be happier.
"Jim Bob and Michelle have made the child feel right at home. They treat him like their own, and he looks up to them as parents," reveals the insider.
30 days until #CountingOn returns!!
Posted by Duggar Family Official on Friday, January 26, 2018
This past weekend, the family wished Tyler a happy 10th birthday on their Facebook page, calling him a "joy and a delight," and adding that they are looking forward to another great year.
Several people joined in with the birthday wishes in the comments section but didn't know who Tyler was.
This all comes in the middle of another Duggar scandal, this time with connections to a couple who authored a controversial book that preaches physical discipline of children.
Michael and Debi Pearl, authors of To Train Up A Child, are scheduled to speak at the Fort Rock Family Camp and Retreat Center in June and October. Joy-Anna Duggar-Forsyth's in-laws own the camp, and Jim Bob and Michelle supported the couple's appearance by posting a link on their official Facebook page.
In the book, the Pearls write about using a switch on a child as young as six-months to discourage bad behavior. They also suggest in the book that parents use a quarter-inch flexible plumbing line to hit children on the arms, legs, and back.
The book was in the homes of three children who died from child abuse.
The Duggars are courting more controversy after endorsing Michael Pearl, the child abuse-teaching pastor who's currently scheduled to appear at a family-owned Christian camp: https://t.co/uU7aDRF92w
— Starcasm (@starcasm) February 11, 2018
Many fans were not thrilled with the Duggar's endorsement, but author Michael Pearl defended his book by saying that it has sold over a million copies and the content has blessed many families.
He also says that it doesn't teach you to punish children, but it is instead a comprehensive approach to child training, with physical discipline being a small part of it.
Pearl added that he doesn't know the Duggars personally and has only met Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar once.
The famous family returns with new episodes of Counting On, February 26, on TLC.

Gardens of the Way of the Cross - Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal/
My Montreal museum cocktail for the week led me to the small museum in Saint Joseph's Oratory, the grand basilica located on one of Mount Royal's peaks. I had already passed the Oratory and its enormous dome several times, and I was excited to learn what it was exactly. On a sunny May day, I arrived at the base of the Oratory's hill and was faced with seemingly never-ending outdoor stairs winding their [...]Read More
