Quarterly payment of $0.35 per share is 9.4% increase over prior year
MEDINA, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 4, 2018--
International Inc. (NYSE: RPM) today announced at its annual
meeting of stockholders that its board of directors declared a regular
quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, payable on October 31, 2018,
to stockholders of record as of October 16, 2018. This payment
represents a 9.4 percent increase over the $0.32 quarterly cash dividend
paid at this time last year.
This action marks RPM's 45th consecutive year of increased cash
dividends paid to its stockholders, which places RPM in an elite
category of less than half of 1 percent of all publicly traded U.S.
companies. Only 41 other companies, besides RPM, have consecutively paid
an increasing annual dividend for this period of time or longer,
according to the Mergent Handbook of Dividend Achievers. During
this timeframe, the company has returned approximately $2.4 billion in
cash dividends to its stockholders. At a share price of $60.00, RPM's
dividend yield would be 2.3 percent.
"Annually increasing our cash dividend is one of the primary ways we
deliver value to our shareholders," stated Frank C. Sullivan, chairman
and chief executive officer. "It is key to our ability to consistently
drive long-term growth and outperform the cumulative total return of the
broader market."
At the meeting, five directors were elected to serve in Class II with
three-year terms expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2019.
They included John P. Abizaid, senior partner at JPA Partners LLC; John
M. Ballbach, former chairman and CEO of VWR International, LLC; Bruce A.
Carbonari, retired chairman and CEO of Fortune Brands, Inc.; Jenniffer
D. Deckard, president and CEO of Covia Holdings Corporation; and
Salvatore D. Fazzolari, former chairman, president and CEO of Harsco
Corporation. In addition, proposed amendments to RPM's Certificate of
Incorporation and By-Laws were not approved because they did not achieve
the required affirmative vote of at least 80 percent of the voting power
of outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date. These
amendments would have required the annual election of directors and
reduced the threshold for action taken by shareholders to a simple

Hi there neighbor!
This is probably what Frank Lagasse said to Jules Moquin when he went to work in the morning on June 25th, 1900.
They were both neighbors.
Frank Lagasse was a carpenter and Jules Moquin was a laborer working at the Ingraham factory.
I hope Frank Lagasse and Jules Moquin got along well.
I found Jules Moquin in the 1900 U.S. Census when I first started looking for Judy's ancestors.
Just for the record, Judy is the 1st great grand niece of the husband (Eugene Dube) of my grand aunt (Lillie Lagasse) who I knew little before Judy wrote this comment…
Not sure if I can help.
Jules Moquin was my great-grandfather.
He was born in Canada, married Marie Dube.
I believe there are Lagaces somewhere in the family line, but I'm not sure where.
Can you, or anyone else offer any insights on Jules and Marie?
She offered her help and she wanted also to get a little help if possible with her ancestors.
Judy and I are not blood relative.
Well not yet.
I was startled to find her great-grandfather Jules Moquin so quickly.
There he was with his family living in Bristol, Connecticut, on the same street as my great-grandfather Dennis Lagasse (1842), son of Dennis Lagasse (1816).
Dennis is at line 97 on the page and Jules is at line 62.
Let's take a closer look…
Jules Moquin is there. He is about 36 (the census is not precise on birthyears). His wife, Mary (of course she is Marie Dubé) is 43. Then the children: Eugene, 12, Arthur, 11, Eujennie (Eugenie), 10, Judy's grandmother, Leah, 8, Mary, 7, Daniel, 4, and little Deney who is one year-old.
Marie Dubé's brothers, Napoléon and Eugène, also live on the same street.
Let's take a stroll down memory lane to get a clearer picture.
Their next door neighbors, Frank Lagasse and his wife Sophia Archambault.
We don't have pictures of Jules Moquin and his wife Marie Dubé… nor pictures of Eugene and Napoleon Dube, nor pictures of their family.
We will probably never find any pictures.
But that's what I said about finding pictures of my great-grandfather Dennis Lagasse, back in 2007, when I first started getting somewhat interested about genealogy.
Speaking of the Ingraham factory, where Jules Moquin worked with Dennis Lagasse and Napoleon Dube, are you intrigued by this picture I posted before…?
Could these two men here be, by any chance, Jules Moquin and Eugene Dubé…?
I don't think so.
Next time we will find more about this man's family.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
Ramadan Mubarak!
The following is a du'a that is constantly read in Tarim, a town in the Wadi Hadhramawt, Yemen, throughout the blessed month of Ramadan. This beneficial du'a has been translated and made available through Sidi Amin Buxton (Allah preserve and increase him):
Sayyiduna Salman narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) spoke to the Companions on the last day of Sha`ban. He informed them that they were about to enter a great and blessed month, a month in which there is a night better than a thousand nights. He mentioned some of the merits of the month of Ramadan. Then he said: "Do four things in abundance: two things with which you please your Lord, and two things which you cannot do without. As for the two things with which you please your Lord: your testification that there is nothing worthy of worship other than Allah and your seeking His forgiveness. As for the two things which you cannot do without: your asking Allah for Paradise and seeking refuge in Him from the Fire."1
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) taught al-Sayyida `A'isha to say on Laylat al-Qadr:
"O Allah, truly You are all-Pardoning, You love to pardon so pardon us."2
On the basis of these two hadiths the scholars and people of Tarim repeat the following du`a throughout the month of Ramadan:
أشْهَدُ أن لا إلهَ إلا الله نَسْتَغْفِرُ الله نسأَلُكَ الجنَّةَ ونَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ النَّار (3)
Ashadu alla ilaha illallah, nastaghfirullah, nas'aluk'l-jannata wa na`audhu bika min an-nar
"I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship other than Allah and we seek the forgiveness of Allah. We ask You for Paradise and take refuge in You from the Fire." (3 times)
اللهمَّ انَّكَ عَفُوٌ تُحبُّ العفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنَّا (3) يا كريم
Allahumma innaka `afuwun tuhibbu-l'`afwa f`afwa `anna
"O Allah, truly You are all-Pardoning, You love to pardon so pardon us" (3 times). On the third time say "O Most Generous" (Ya Karim).
1 Narrated by Ibn Khuzayma
2 Narrated by Ahmad, Ibn Majah and Tirmidhi with a sahih chain of transmission.
Note: Wadi Hadhramawt is a 220-mile wadi (seasonal river valley) which has a collection of 31 small sultanates with Aden in the middle. Hadhramawt is the biggest wadi in the Arabian Peninsula and runs for 99 miles through a stony desert. This area has been settled since at least the 3rd century AD and brilliant green fields ran alongside the wadi.
Ya Haqq!

One of the most frequent questions that I've gotten from visitors to the California Design exhibition is "where did you find all this stuff?" In addition to the chairs, tables, textiles, and ceramics that you'd expect to see in a design exhibition, you'll also find some rather offbeat things—a 1930s ice gun, his-and-hers lobster swimsuits, and a roadside barricade light used in countless highway construction sites.

The answer to the baffling question of how we located all the objects is that we looked pretty much everywhere. Many were already in LACMA's permanent collection. To find the rest, we visited dozens of private collectors, dealers, and auctioneers and asked our colleagues in museums across the country about what they had in their galleries and tucked away in storage. But some of our proudest (and most affordable) finds came from visits to antique stores and that virtual shopping wonderland, eBay.
We found the Burroughs Manufacturing Corporation plastic pitcher at a Dallas antique mall ($7.27). The company's proprietor Clarence Burroughs patented the design in 1948 and put it into production along with a wide array of handy molded plastic objects such as salt and pepper shakers, bread boxes, and wastepaper baskets.

We found pristine orange crate labels in a flea market in San Juan Capistrano (2 for $26). The imagery of agricultural bounty was as characteristic of California as the brightly colored, dynamic designs.

Ponca orange-crate label for Vandalia Packing Association, c. 1930s, photo © 2011 Museum Associates/LACMA
And the Henry Dreyfuss Swinger Polaroid camera was an eBay victory at $9.99 for the camera and its original box and instruction booklet (we could have gotten the camera alone for a mere penny, but we're suckers for vintage packaging).
Henry Dreyfuss and James M. Conner for Polaroid Corporation, The Swinger, Land camera model 20, 1965, Decorative Arts and Design Council Fund
We're not bragging about our bargain finds just to make you jealous. The real message here is that collecting design is not reserved for the rarefied few. While many areas are of art out of reach except to the phenomenally rich, it's possible to enter the collecting field at nearly any level. Find something that fascinates you, learn by looking closely, ask lots of questions, and don't be afraid to pass on a piece that doesn't meet your rigorous standards.
With this behind-the-scenes glimpse, go forth into this shopping season and seek out your own California design treasures. When you find something that resembles what you saw in the show (or if you can't make it to the show, check out highlights in the free mobile app), post it to the California Design Flickr feed and share it with us.
Remember, go green and buy antiques!

And also? Pinbacks. You can use your Cricut to cut out images for one-inch pinback buttons. Depends on the image, because some look better in silhouette than others do, but I'm quite pleased with several of the ones I've tried so far.

Warren Buffett, the world's most famous investor, has made a big bet on small newspapers.
The billionaire investor has bought Media General, owner of 63 local US newspapers covering markets across Alabama, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia.
Buffet's BH Media, part of his Berkshire Hathaway investment company, paid $142m in cash for the titles. Under a separate credit agreement, Berkshire Hathaway will provide Media General with a $400m loan and a $45m revolving credit line.
The move is just the latest foray into print from Buffett. Last year Berkshire bought the Omaha World Herald Company, owner of Buffett's local newspaper and six other local titles. At Berkshire's recent annual shareholder meeting Buffett said he was considering other local newspaper acquisitions. "We may buy more newspapers. I think the economics will be ok, but it will be nothing like the old days," he told the meeting.
Announcing his latest purchase Buffett said: "In towns and cities where there is a strong sense of community, there is no more important institution than the local paper. The many locales served by the newspapers we are acquiring fall firmly in this mold, and we are delighted they have found a permanent home with Berkshire Hathaway."
Buffett, a former newspaper delivery boy, has long been a fan of newspapers and an investor in The Washington Post. But only a few years ago he was making dire predictions about the future of the industry.
Asked about newspapers as investments in 2009, Buffett said: "For most newspapers in the United States, we would not buy them at any price. They have the possibility of going to just unending losses."
Buffett isn't the only billionaire showing an interest in newspapers. Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecoms billionaire, is a major shareholder in the New York Times. Earlier this year Gina Rinehart, billionaire daughter of mining magnate Lang Hancock, became one of the largest shareholders in Australia's Fairfax Media, publisher of The Age, Sydney Morning Herald and other titles.

Alabama finds plenty to improve before Texas A&M
Send a link to a friend
[September 04, 2013]
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
(AP) -- Alabama center Ryan Kelly said the postgame mood in the locker room was subdued and players were upset with their performance in the season opener.
Never mind that the top-ranked Crimson Tide beat Virginia Tech 35-10 Saturday night. It wasn't pristine or dominant enough, especially on offense, to satisfy the two-time defending national champions.
"Obviously we're 1-0 but we knew as a team afterward that we didn't make them quit," he said Tuesday night. "We felt like they walked away with a better sense that they didn't let Alabama take control of them. I think that's what everybody was disappointed about. We should have played a lot better."
The offense did sputter at times during the game, when two touchdowns came on special teams and one on an interception return. The Tide likely won't be able to afford such uneven offensive play in next week's grudge match against Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel and No. 7 Texas A&M in College Station.
Alabama has an extra week to prepare to face the only team to beat the Tide last season.
The circumstances are decidedly different from last season, when Alabama was fresh from a down-to-the-wire win over LSU with a week to prepare for Manziel and the Aggies' fast-paced offense.
Texas A&M jumped ahead 20-0 after the first quarter en route to a 29-24 victory.
Coach Nick Saban said the Tide won't start working on Texas A&M until Thursday's practice, giving them two extra days "which is usually the most we do on a team."
"But we have a lot of work to do as a team to be able to play the way we're going to need to play to have any chance of being successful when we play out there against Texas A&M," he said.
[to top of second column]
Cornerback John Fulton said Tide players have been hearing about this game "since we lost" last year's meeting. Have they heard too much about it?
"We won the national championship last year," Fulton said, "so we'll be all right."
The offense produced only 206 yards against the Hokies, who also had four sacks. Kelly said there were some first-game jitters among the three new starting offensive linemen.
"We played hard. We didn't always play physical at times," Kelly said. "This week is very important, because we can get back to what an offensive line is about, and that's being physical and making the D-line quit. I think that's what we're going to bring to Texas A&M."
The team did have some drama on Tuesday.
Saban said he gave wide receiver Kenny Bell a "personal day" from practice on Tuesday but expected him to miss only one day.
Bell had posted on his Twitter page Tuesday afternoon that "it's been a nice run but I'm hanging up my cleats," saying he wanted to focus on taking care of his kids.
Later, though, he posted an update, referring to quarterback AJ McCarron: "I'm back with the team!! Just needed time to myself for a day but I couldn't leave my boy (at)10AJMcCarron we ended this run together."

4 people struck by car in Glen Burnie seriously hurt
Police: Victims crossing road in dark outside of controlled intersection
Four people were injured in a pedestrian-involved accident on a dark section of a busy road in Glen Burnie.
Anne Arundel County officials said four people were struck on Quarterfield Road near the ramp for eastbound Route 100 just after 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Detectives said it appears the victims were crossing the on-ramp on a dark section of road that wasn't a controlled intersection during the busy rush hour when a driver making a turn onto the ramp hit them. There were no traffic lights where they were crossing.
Sky Team 11 video showed crews rushing the people onto stretchers and into ambulances. They were then sent to Shock Trauma, where investigators said one of them had life-threatening injuries.
Fire officials said the victims were two 16-year-old boys, a 20-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman. All of them had been discharged from the hospital by mid-morning Friday, except for the woman, who was listed in stable condition.
"This is very unusual. You might get something like this in a rare situation in a crowd gathering, but to have four pedestrians going down the road and all four get struck, that's very unusual," said Anne Arundel County Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Thompson.
Police said the driver did stay at the scene.
The cause of the crash being investigated, but officials said they believe pedestrian error was a contributing factor.
The Anne Arundel County Police Safety Traffic Section is handling the investigation.

Editor's note: This story was originally published in January 2005.
When the NHL lockout finally ends, Red Fisher will begin his 50th season on the Canadiens beat. In this feature series, which concludes today, Red picks his Top 10 Habs from the last half-century.
- - -
MONTREAL - As long as anyone can remember, even before he was to become everything that was good about this Montreal Canadiens franchise, Jean Beliveau has been special.
Was there ever a player blessed with more grace on and off the ice? He was a quiet leader who led by example. He walked and skated tall - and always will be remembered that way. We rejoiced in his accomplishments and were left limp with grief when he was struck with adversity - on and off the ice.
Some years ago, all of us were saddened when he announced in a brief statement that in a matter of days, he would start radiation treatment for a malignant tumour doctors had discovered in his neck. This man, loved and admired by so many, who won so many battles on the ice in his 18-season career with the Canadiens, took on his biggest one with greater resolve and courage than any game he ever played.
"I rely totally on the expertise of my doctors," he was quoted in the statement. "I intend to follow their instructions and recommendations to the letter. I feel good and I fully intend on winning this next battle.
"During my treatments, for the next few months, I very humbly ask everyone to respect the privacy of my family and myself."
He won it, against great odds. He handled the radiation, although for a long while he lost his sense of taste. He carried a bottle of spring water with him all day to ease the terrible discomfort of dry mouth, a condition that exists to this day. However, through all this, he was still the smiling giant of a man, available to people of all ages and languages and colours. His ability to charm others never has left him because he is, after all, Jean Beliveau.
Numbers and individual achievements don't begin to describe what Beliveau has meant to his family, to the Canadiens organization, to people everywhere. Eighteen seasons with the Canadiens, his last 10 as captain; 10 Stanley Cups; two Hart Trophies, one Conn Smythe; 507 goals and 712 assists in 1,125 games; 176 points in 162 playoff games ... only numbers. They pale in comparison alongside the love and respect other players, old and new, and the people have for him.
It wasn't that long ago I ran into him at the Montreal General Hospital. An employee who was mopping the corridor on the sixth floor came along, stopped, his eyes widening. He said: "Ah, Monsieur Beliveau ... bonjour!"
What he got in return for the next couple of minutes were smiles and words of cheer. It was always "Monsieur Beliveau," even though he would have preferred "Jean." That's respect. That's love.
"When you talk about the great players, the superstars who've played for the Canadiens," Dickie Moore once told me, "he's right up there with the very best. As an individual, he's always been in a class by himself. As an individual, on and off the ice, nobody comes close."
Beliveau was more than a captain: he was a father figure in many ways. If a player had a problem on the ice, Beliveau was only a stick-length away. If there were personal problems that needed attention, he was available. He didn't inflict himself on anyone, but everyone knew he was there.
There always has been a shine to him that had a magical quality to it. Everything that is Beliveau comes from within. He cared about people, all people, when he played - and still does. Opponents played hard against him, but the respect was always there - and still is.
Wayne Gretzky has had critics among his peers. So did Mario Lemieux. Some players didn't like Henri Richard, Phil Esposito and Bobby Clarke - but I don't recall any player lashing out at Beliveau. Until he spanked today's players for their stance in the lockout in early November, I can't recall Beliveau ever going public with bad words about other players. He was almost too good to be true. Too many among the old-time players recoil at the money being made today, but Beliveau always has gone the other way. He's glad for them.
He'd like to see the hooking and slashing and holding taken out of the game, but that's where it ends. He is gracious about today's stars, and when he played had a special place in his heart for Gordie Howe.
I remember asking Jean about Howe when the latter was retiring - for the first time - after 25 years with the Red Wings. Would there ever be another like him?
"If there is, I'll be very surprised," Beliveau said. "For another Gordie Howe, it will take a long time."
Beliveau was awed by Howe's strength, as well as his natural ability.
"Physical strength is a very important part of the game and always has been," Beliveau said. "I would have to say that there are probably a lot of hockey players who are very strong physically, but they don't have the ability to go with it. They don't have the polish. Howe always had everything. He could do everything right and do it so beautifully.
"Some of the people, they say that Howe did not skate too fast. He knew what he was doing all the time, so he did not have to skate too fast, they said. All I can say is that up until near the end of his NHL career, the players who had to cover him should be asked how fast Howe could skate. And if you caught him, that great strength of his was too much.
"There are people like Howe in every business," Beliveau added. "There are some who will do their job and do it well. That's all. It was not enough for Howe.
"Twenty-five years ... I do not know how anybody could play that long. With Howe, his stamina always amazed me. Lots of players can go for 40 minutes, but for the last 10 minutes they're hanging on to somebody trying to catch their breath. Not Howe. Go ... go ... go all the time. But that's what made him special, I think. With him, it was always that little extra that really counted. Will there be another Howe? If there is, he'll have a lot to do."
It doesn't seem so long ago that I sat with Beliveau in his home the day before his 50th anniversary with the Canadiens as a player and executive. We talked about many things ... the Stanley Cup teams he was on, the players on his line, the moments and events he remembered most.
"All those Stanley Cups, each one means so much," Beliveau said. "You work so hard. You start in September and you don't stop working. With Toe, (coach Blake) it was always first place. It's all that counted, but one of my greatest thrills - and it's always been team first with me - was when I was elected captain. I was not in line for it. I was not even an alternate captain at the time. I was in a cast at the time. Two months out," he said with a sigh.
"So I'm in a cast when the boys are having the vote. Toe's fedora is being passed around the room, and we're dropping the little papers into it. You could vote for Dickie, for Boom, for Tom Johnson or for me. By then, I had been 33 days in a cast. I never thought for a second anybody would vote for me. I voted for Dickie.
"There was supposed to be two ballots," Beliveau said, "and after the first, Toe told me two guys had tied. Me and Geoffrion. 'You two will be the only guys on the second ballot,' he said to me."
Once again, the players tossed "little papers" into Blake's fedora. Minutes later, an exercised "Boom Boom" now stormed out of the room.
"What's the problem?" I asked him.
"Those bastards picked Beliveau," he snapped.
"So what's wrong with that?" Geoffrion was asked.
"Yeah, Boom was a little upset," Beliveau said in his Longueuil home. "But ah ... you know Boom. He was upset that day, but the next morning he was all right
"After the vote, I went up to see Mr. Selke: 'I don't deserve to be captain of this team.' He said: 'What would you want me to do? Go downstairs and tell those players they picked the wrong guy?' "

Those of you paying close attention may have noticed that the 30 days of 30 technically lasted only 29 days (Jan 5-Feb 2). There were also a couple of unclaimed days in there, but I filled them by hanging out with my mom and a co-worker.
BUT… the 30 days aren't really over yet. When this blog goes live, I'll be in Chicago for the finale, so I'm counting my party on Saturday as the 30th day.
If my calculations are correct, here are some other interesting numbers about my 30 days:
60– Number of people I celebrated with this month.*
36– Number of locations– 16 restaurants, 11 bars**, 1 bakery, 1 arena, 1 bowling alley, 1 movie theater, 1 out of town location (Galena), 1 shopping center, and 3 private residences.
The most common location for 30 days activities was Bunny's, followed closely by a tie between Crane Alley and Boltini. This is notable because I probably haven't been to either of these places much in the past year, but I really like them. Houlihan's and the Courier were the most popular non-drinking establishments.
6– Number of places I'd never been before: Galena, Bridget's house, La Gourmandise Bistro, The Brass Rail, The Sandwich shop (whose name I've yet to look for), Cakes on Walnut.
14- Number of different activites: lunch, dinner, drinks, dessert, Illinois game, bowling, LOST watch, movie, snowboarding, Superbowl party, live band, book club, story teller, trivia
15– Number of times I went out for lunch
13-– Number of times I went out for drinks
6– Number of times I went out for dinner***
2– Number of times I went out for dessert. Again, notable because I rarely go out just for dessert.
2– Number of Illini games watched**** (one at the Assembly Hall, one at Bunny's)
2– Number of things I'd never done before: go snowboarding and listen to a professional story teller
0– Number of pounds I've gained. Seriously. I definitely feel fatter/less healthy, but according to the scale, my weight is the same.
I don't even want to think about the number of drinks or calories I consumed. Thank goodness I didn't have this "by the numbers" idea earlier or else I really would turn into the guy from Supersize Me. Lol.
More importantly, though, I'm amazed at the number of things I was able to cram into one month… and the number of people I convinced to "play along." It was really a great experiment and I'm glad I did it. I highly doubt 31 days of 31 are in my future, though :)
In case you missed them (or just want to relive the fun), here are the weekly recaps:
Notes on the Methodology
*Includes only people in "my party" and does not include repeats (i.e. if I had lunch with Lisa one day and happy hour another, she is only counted once).
**For this purpose a bar is defined as a place primarily for drinking whereas a restaurant is an eating establishment. I chose to count them based on why/when I was there. (i.e. Farren's is a bar/restaurant, but I was only there for lunch, so it gets counted as a restaurant.)
*** This number is probably lower than it should be. I counted an event as drinks if drinking was the primary purpose of the activity (i.e. happy hour). It's more than likely that dinner was also consumed.
**** Again, possibly artificially deflated. There may have been an Illini game on during a happy hour that I did not record as a "game watch"

Making weapon replicas, or building armor sets from Skyrim, or any other Elder Scrolls game is one thing, but creating a whole shelf of Elder Scrolls potions, scrolls and books is some next level stuff. Here's Faasnu's shelf, featuring tons of potions and even the Mysterium Xarxes from TES IV: Oblivion.
Below is the full set. So many fancy potions and scrolls, just like one of those rooms in the games you're about to loot.
Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing some of the prettiest, funniest game-related screenshots and art that we can find. Send us suggestions if you've got them.

Carl Adams Quotes
Zach sort of threw out his hand and didn't fully shake. I have never seen a penalty like that in my 25 years of coaching. We take a lot of pride in our sportsmanship, and Zach felt bad afterwards. I always tell my players that you get 50 percent of the calls and you lose 50 percent of the calls. It is just up to us to make sure the match is not decided by the referees.

Relevant Christian posted it's first post on February 26th, 2007 entitled Rebel, or Progressive Thinker?, and at today's count, have had over 316 posts, well over 261,000 visitors, and 1,890 published comments.
The purpose behind Relevant Christian was born out of a growing uneasiness about the state of Christianity, and a desire to start people thinking, or maybe even start a conversation. While it was not our purposeful intention to be controversial, we have at times, definitely succeeded in being so.
Our most popular post to date, "What Does the Bible Say About Tattoos?", has been viewed 115,910 times, and was written by a very good friend and pastor Timmy Gibson.
We have had the pleasure of having some great contributors to Relevant Christian, and I would like to say thank you to those who have contributed (no pun intended) to the success of Relevant Christian.

Social game-maker Zynga has begun to part ways from Facebook, the platform on which it struck casual gaming gold with Farmville.
Facebook is restricting Zynga's Facebook-ability from March 2012, meaning we'll see less Zynga promotion on the social network bringing the company more in line with other Facebook game providers.
Facebook's statement explains that this is simply a matter of "streamlining" the terms between the two companies.
"We have streamlined our terms with Zynga so that Zynga.com's use of Facebook Platform is governed by the same policies as the rest of the ecosystem," Facebook said.
"We will continue to work with Zynga, just as we do with developers of all sizes."
However, relations between the two companies have been strained since Zynga unveiled its own gaming portal away from Facebook, especially since it emerged that Facebook was reliant on Zynga to the tune of $445 million per year.
Before Facebook went public in May, that amounted to 12 per cent of its total income for the year.
This hasn't been Zynga's greatest year though – it blew millions of dollars on the hugely faddish Draw Something while reporting ever-lower user figures and rumblings of discontent within staff ranks.
