St. George police appear to be investigating a possible murder-suicide after officers found two bodies inside a home on Monday.
St. George police Sgt. Sam Despain identified the victims as 60-year-old Paul Lee Day and his wife, 47-year-old Mary Ann Day.

The two were found inside a residence near 2000 East and 200 South about 9:10 a.m. Monday.
Despain said that while an official cause for the deaths is still under investigation, a firearm appeared to have been used in both cases. Also, he confirmed police were not looking for any suspects.
Despain also confirmed Tuesday that a young adult male, the couple's son, had been living with the Days and had been questioned, but "he definitely is not a suspect or person of interest in this case."
Police are awaiting the results of autopsies and forensic testing by the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office before releasing an official cause for the deaths.
Neighbors of the Days were stunned, telling the StGeorgeUtah.com news site that the couple were "salt of the earth people."
Neighbor Tim Gee said he often saw the Days walking hand-in-hand and that they were pleasant, friendly and always willing to help with community projects.

Up front: I'm not a tank. I'm DPS. My RL friend, who has been playing with me for about a year now, is a warrior. He's spec'd pretty much everything in that time, and he's finally starting to put together tanking gear. We PuG together.
All I can say is: "The horror... the horror!"
It's mostly on the DPS side of things; the healers we've grouped with have been pretty good so far, for the most part. So to the world's tanks, on behalf of pew-pewers everywhere, I apologize.
I don't do PuGs anymore- I've had too many comments like:
"WTF!! Why can't you tank 2 non-tauntable non CC-able mobs while I cast my 5k fireballs at it?"
"I thought I was supposed to ice trap the skull...."
and my personal favorite when I asked for a HS-
"Make your own"
LFG is filled with "LF non-failboat tank" "LF tank Daily heroic- only T6 need apply"
Best Pug I ever had was Ramps on my Ele Shammy with a new tank- about halfway through- everything going really smooth, found out the other 3 peeps in the group all played tanks as their mains

Dreaming of a free flight to paradise? It's hardly news that a airline miles and travel rewards credit card can help you get there. One such card that's been garnering a lot of praise from bloggers and travel experts is Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard®.
This no-annual fee credit card pays miles on every purchase, but the best part is that Arrival's miles tend to stretch further because you can get a 10% bonus when you redeem them for travel rewards (as opposed to cash or gift cards).
Here are the details of the no-annual fee Barclaycard Arrival Card:
Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard®

Is the Arrival card for you?
The Barclaycard Arrival credit card is a good fit for anybody who pays off his or her credit card balance every month, spends a fair amount on travel or dining, and does not regularly fly a single airline. The Arrival card's double miles on restaurants and travel will add up to rewards faster than a single miles rewards card, and rewards don't expire and can be redeemed for free travel with no blackout dates on any airline.
How the Arrival credit card compare?
How does the Barclaycard Arrival card do vs competitors? The Chase Sapphire credit card and Capital One Venture card both offer miles rewards on any airline, but each has its own twists.
Capital One Venture Card — The Capital One Venture card pays 2x miles on all purchases, but charges a $59 annual fee after the first year. The no-annual fee VentureOne card pays 1.5 miles on all purchases.
Chase Sapphire — The no-annual fee Chase Sapphire credit card only pays single miles. The $95-annual fee Sapphire Preferred card competes head-to-head with the Barclaycard Arrival Card and offers a richer sign-on-bonus, but applicants will find they need top-notch credit to get approved for either Sapphire credit card.

A manhunt continues for the killer or killers of a woman and her three children. A family friend discovered the bodies just before 8 o'clock on Monday morning at the Windcrest Estacado Apartments on North MLK. He was reportedly there to take the children to school.
The person who called 9-1-1 says they found the three children and their mother dead inside the Windcrest Estacado Apartments. Lubbock Police Spokesman Victor Quintana says the man was there to pick up the children for school. Police say the victims are 11-year-old Mahogany Jasmine Allen, twins Kadiele and Kasheim Allen, both 9-years-old and their mother, 45-year-old Tammy Cooper. "We're not going to go into details about their injuries but they appear to be violent in nature," says Quintana.
This investigation is ongoing as police are still trying to put the pieces together. At this time they do know this family was violently murdered. How, is still the question.
Police believe there was a struggle before the murders. The furniture was knocked over and the crime scene was very bloody. Neighbors are in shock over what happened. Some are ready to pack their bags and move. "Actually, I"m always safe in my apartment. But I do want to move. We need security over here real bad. They don't have. Because every time they close the gates, someone always tears them apart so they don't close so they can get in and out. It's really not safe here," says resident Nathaniel Mitchell.
"Its unsafe here. Like I was telling my wife, it's time for me to get my family and pack up and get away from here. I'm not safe. It's ridiculous this happened here today," said resident Reggie Connors.
Police are not mentioning a murder weapon yet. But the neighbors we talked to said they didn't hear anything happen. Police may be looking for suspect or suspects that have injuries from the murder.

I really think that this is a great product for pet owners that are always on the go. It could also be useful for people with more then one pet.
Pros: You dont have to constantly water your pet and your pet would always have water when you are away.
Cons: There really isnt any cons that I can think of.

SAO PAULO - Landon Donovan says the United States will head to the World Cup with its most experienced group of players, giving the Americans a "real chance" to do well at this year's tournament.
As the U.S. finishes a week-and-a-half training camp in the host country, Donovan said American players have enough confidence and experience to confront more traditional World Cup teams heading into a first round that includes matches against Germany, Portugal and Ghana.
"I think the experience that we have now far exceeds the experience that we ever had with any team, and that lines up to give us a real chance," Donovan said Thursday. "We are confident in how we play. We are confident in what we do. Our guys have had enough experiences against all of these players, against teams like Ghana, Portugal, Germany. ... We feel confident that we can get results against them, and that's a nice feeling going into a World Cup."
The U.S. opens against Ghana on June 16, plays Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal six days later and closes the group stage against Germany on June 26.
The Americans will be playing in their seventh straight World Cup, and Donovan is heading to his fourth.
"There's never been competition for places like there is in our team now," the midfielder said during a news conference. "You can really make a case for probably 35 or 40 guys to be a part of a 23-man roster, and that's never been the case. It's really up for grabs in a lot of positions, and that in itself obviously creates competition, which makes the team better."
Donovan, who turns 32 in March, said the U.S. team is more respected by opponents.
"The reason it's the group of death is because we are in it," he said. "In the past, it would have been a relatively easier group for Germany or Ghana or Portugal because they had us in it. But now, because we are in it, it makes it one of the most difficult groups in the tournament."
Donovan said the first goal remains to reach the knockout stage of the 32-nation tournament.
"Our expectations, like most teams, are to get out of the group," he said. "We are aware that we have a difficult group, but the expectation is that we can do it and we are going to try to get out of our group, just like most teams in this World Cup. That is the objective. That is the goal. But we feel good about where we are at."
German coach Jurgen Klinsmann brought 26 players to this training camp get acclimated to the team's World Cup base in South America's biggest city. The team, mostly with players from Major League Soccer, will play an exhibition against South Korea on Feb. 1 at Carson, Calif.
"We've been very lucky to have two weeks here in Sao Paulo," Donovan said. "It's been very nice to have a couple of weeks to adapt to what it's going to be like this summer. When we come back we have a comfort level. We know the people, the club, the training facilities. It makes it a lot easier. You get a feeling for what it's like here, and it helps a lot."
Klinsmann is expected to visit the Arena da Amazonia on Friday in the jungle city of Manaus, where the U.S. will play Portugal.

pizza pies, subs. peanut brittle. These much-loved Freehold gems were just as popular back in the 1960s, and in the new novel Blind Guys Break 80, Fred Reiss offers a vivid and poignant look at how much has and hasn't changed over the years.
Blind Guys Break 80 tells the story of Cloudy, a middle-aged loser who wants to earn his father's respect by improving at golf. As he struggles to find his true swing on the course, Cloudy discovers his blindness in golf and life can only be overcome with his Mother's love, the guiding spirit of Freehold, and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
While the story is fictional for the most part, those familiar with Freehold will enjoy the insider references to the historical town. Reiss, a California-based author, is able to offer such authentic detail about Freehold because from the age of nine to 17 (1964-1972), he grew up in Stonehurst, which started as a single-family development with 256 homes in Freehold. What inspired him to write the novel is a story of its own.
"My parents came to me in a dream and said, 'Tell our story,'" Reiss said. "My Mom was always happiest in Freehold, and she never got over leaving her Freehold social life. My father's company relocated, so we had to move to Connecticut. My Mom always referred to our place in Connecticut as 'the house,' but she always called our Stonehurst house 'home.'"
According to Reiss, everyone in Stonehurst moved in at the same time, so all the neighbors knew each other, and everyone had at least two or three kids in the same age range. And years later, he feels his years living there shaped who he is today.
"Freehold gave me that Jersey edge," he said. "Sorrento's subs, Fed's pies, Jersey Freeze, Stewart's Root Beer, garage bands, great '60s music on WABC with Cousin Brucie, classic cars, teen nights, catching lightning bugs in summer, going off the high dive at the Stonehurst Swim Club, Asbury Park before the riots and white flight. People were close and tolerant of other kids because neighbors were tolerant of their kids."
He added, "Growing up in the 60s, when Moms were always home and Dads were done at work after eight hours. That shapes you. That childhood was rocket fuel I've drawn on my whole life. Very few people had it, except the ones who lived it, and it wasn't about being a kid. Even the adults I met years later felt that way. After I did my Mom's eulogy, an old Freehold neighbor came over, eyes beaming and said, 'When you said the parties with Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass, you brought it all back. So many wonderful years!' And he was right. I'd never be the guy I am now without Freehold in my heart."
While Freehold is home to even more people these days, the home Reiss remembers was slightly different than the Freehold of today.
"In Stonehurst, every new house had a gas lamp post in the front yard and they burned 24 hours a day. Can you believe that?" Reiss said. "Most are gone now. Nearly all the lantern tops were knocked off by footballs thrown by kids. I don't think all these homes would have lamps burning gas all the time now. Today, contractors wouldn't build a Stonehurst. Instead of the 500 homes with half-acre lots, they'd cram in 4,000 townhouses. Throw in a Walmart, Home Depot and storage lockers. It never would have been our neighborhood. The developer really planned out a great development."
That development gave way to some seriously tight bonds and friendships that aren't so easy to come by with today's hustle and bustle.
"This will give you an idea of how tight the neighborhood was," Reiss said. "We had a crib death in our family. When we were at the burial of my brother, Matthew, our neighbors went to our house and took out the crib and the baby items, returned them to Britt's Department Store and got a refund by simply saying, 'Their baby died.' They wanted to make it easier on my mother when she came home."
And for the Reiss', coming home meant good old-fashioned quality family time.
"Back then, there was no such thing as a home office, it was home," Reiss said. "When Dad came home, he always came home at the same time every night. He put his keys down, washed up and he was done. No going upstairs to work on the computer or talk to the boss. Time to be home with the kids, throw the ball with his son and talk to his wife over a drink."
Writing Blind Guys Break 80 gave Reiss the opportunity to relive his years in Freehold and the happiness he and his parents, who are deceased, experienced when they lived in Stonehurst.
"When I finished this book, I hung my head, smiled, looked up to them and cried," Reiss said.
Anyone looking for a moving yet humorous tale that offers a look into life in Freehold can purchase Blind Guys Break 80 as a hard copy or as an ebook at Fredforyourhead.com. Reiss also created a series of humorous YouTube videos he made chronicling his visits back to his hometown, which are available at youtube.com/watch?v=KtBEgEjkFyU, and youtube.com/watch?v=DnPFtnMFMzg.
Reiss urged anyone with photos of the Stonehurst days to send them to him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Update, 1:30pm PDT: A reporter has found a confidential memo to Boeing CEO Jim McNerney outlining five more reasons for yet another 787 delay. Here is the report.
Update, 12:00pm PDT: The finger-pointing begins. The Seattle PI has this report quoting Rolls as saying the new 787 delay isn't its fault.
Update, Aug. 27: Here are some key stories with details about the delay:
Original Post:
Boeing is expected to announce another delay in the 787 program Friday, Aug. 27, Leeham News and Comment has learned.
First delivery of the 787 of the long and oft-delayed 787 was supposed to be next month, then in December; a delay to mid- or late first quarter is expected to be announced.
Others believe the first delivery could slip to the second quarter.
Last week's uncontained engine failure of a Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 during static testing and, according to our information, problems with Alenia's tail construction, will be blamed. We first reported August 13 that the tail problems could result in more delays. The Trent threw a blade, but an assessment is still being done as to the precise cause.
Boeing's 787 flight test program hasn't grounded the airplanes but in the word of one customer, it is being "babied." The flight test hours have fallen far short of expectation and a GEnx-powered unit, #6, hasn't flown at all and will be at least three months behind schedule before its first flight. The reason is unknown.

ughhhhh korra looks whitewashed :|
(Source: makos-lightningrod)
Full Comic Con cam of episode 1 Rebel Spirit. In case the downloads aren't working for you.
First, a synopsis:
The episode begins with two unnamed sailors at sea in a storm. I don't remember the exact conversation that takes place, but it has something of a ghost-story-at-sea tone to it with the older sailor posing a warning to the younger sailor concerning spirits in the water. Reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean—but that's not hard to achieve for me. The point is that eventually we see in a far-shot a jellyfish kraken circling the, and both the sailors get violently torn from their ships and smashed into the sea by the angry jelly kraken spirit.
In the "news reel" we find out a few things, in particular that the council of Republic City was disbanded in favor of the United Republic electing its first president, Bumi retiring from the United Forces and Korra and Mako being the "talk of the town."
Then we see the snippet that was posted on Nick.com, which leads into the primary conflict of the episode: Korra has come something of a full circle, and once again is at a point in her training where she personally feels she has learned all she can and wants to move on. In this case, she feels she's an airbending already. Tenzin disagrees—feeling that her "Korra style" to airbending isn't mastery, and suggests she tours the Airbending temples with him in an effort to improve her spiritual bending.
Since the council was disbanded, he's now in this kinda funny vacation mode and he even pulls out a map that has this cute little cartoon of him in the middle. Korra suggests that they FIRST all go with her to the Glacier Spirits Festival—eh! Foreshadowing!—back home, so they can have fun together before leaving on the tour. They mostly take the bait because Katara invited them to come. There's some fun banter with Bumi and Tenzin, with Bumi saying something to the effect of, "You can't tell me not to come, because Ma already invited me!"
I wish I could remember how it all builds up but somewhere in there Ikki and Jinora get into a squabble and Meelo eggs them on with a "fight, fight, fight!"
Anyway! The group all heads down to the Southern Watertribe—with at least a part of them on a ship, a see Korra, Mako and Naga lounging together on one of the decks. Mako's recounting his "car trouble" story and pulls out a list of dorky catch phrases. The conversation shifts, and we see the first of multiple moments where Korra chooses to confide in Mako in regards to her frustration with her training's perceived lack of progress, asking his opinion. He suggests that Tenzin might have a point, which ends up irritating her—and she marches off accusing him of "siding" with Tenzin. Mako muses to Naga, in frustration, that he can't even get through a conversation with his girlfriend.
The ship docks in the South Pole, and we see Tonraq giving Mako a hard time about Korra. He seems to like to initimdate him, and Mako stammers a bit until Korra tells her dad to knock it off. We also get to see Kya finally, and there's some fun dialog there. Bolin is present as well, of course, and is excited about their welcome party—only to have Korra point out the welcoming party is actually for Unalaq, Desna and Eska. There's a funny moment where Bolin asks about "those lovely ladies," and Korra bluntly informs him that Desna is a guy. ("Uhh… which one is Desna?")
Unalaq arrives and has a cold greeting with Tonraq. Interesting that they cut to Bolin and Mako exchanging a look at Unalaq's cold "Brother." I'm not sure if they're planning something, or were just making the boys reaction to the sharp contrast in their relationship.
We get our first look at the festival grounds, as Korra, her father and Unalaq have a walk and talk. Unalaq is disappointed/disgusted with the "secularization" (I'm calling it that) of the festival, and makes a snide remark about rubes stuffing whole arctic hens into their mouths (enter Bolin). The conversation ends up leading into the recent bout of boating incidents with angry spirits, something Korra is surprised to hear about and upset she didn't know. Unalaq positions training offers to her, and Tonraq resists it completely—Korra's stuck in the middle, although she keenly interested in taking Unalaq up on his offer to train with him in the North Pole.
We find out that Asami has brought Bolin to her meeting with Varrick on his yacht, concerning the shipping contract, as a form of moral support—although she tells him he's her assistant. Varrick proves eccentric right off the bat—attempting to levitate with the power of his mind. He doesn't levitate, but his influence is good enough that nobody in the room is willing to tell him otherwise. Bolin, being the sweet and naïve , innocent thing that he is, just comes out and points out Varrick was lying. Varrick immediately fires the swami that was teaching him, and goes through this kinda ADD segment of skipping from that to demoing the first motion picture, to asking a redheaded (whoa! Red heads exist??) starlet to do dramatic poses, to staring Asami down nose-to-nose and announcing they have a deal. "Forget that—that's the past!" He's cray.
Asami is thrilled, hug him and ruffles Bolin's hair. It's a cute moment—they're fun bros or whatever. Bosami shippers might like it, if they still exist.
We then come to some feast, with Korra and her family sitting at the higher table. Unalaq begins to really push for becoming her mentor, and goes so far as to make an interesting revelation or two: especially that the white lotus seclusion etc. wasn't really Aang's idea—it was a decision that was put in place by other individuals, including her dad. This, naturally, upsets Korra.
We get a short moment with Bumi taunting Tenzin about losing his student, and some other familial banter, with Kya included. Tenzin is NOT sensitive, by the way.
Unalaq gives something of a little speech, kind of… I guess stating a warning concerning the degeneration of Southern Tribe spirituality (especially in the festival) and its consequences. He's very dramatic.
We switch to continuing the festival. Korra and Mako are "being oogie" by feeding each other cotton candy, and Bolin decides to not be the third wheel and instead runs off to make a pass at Eska. ("Whee!" he goes lol.) Korra mentions her cousins are creepy and "smell like a grandma's attic." Bolin's encounter is particularly funny, as the twins speak to each other something like what might occur if twin Vulcans encountered Bolin for the first time—Desna basically observing that Bolin is attempting to hit on Eska. She finds him "amusing" and decides he will be hers. Desna comes along for the ride.
While Korra and Mako are playing carnival games, Korra uses the opportunity to confide in him again—concerning her isolation and her conflict. She asks him what he thinks she should do, and after some thought he answers that whatever she decides, he'll support her. She doesn't like this answer, and he protests that she wanted him to be supportive—did she want him to be supportive or to say what he thought?? Mixed signals aren't his cup of tea. She throws a stuffed Appa at him and leaves him and he's like "boo." His hair gets messy. It's cute. I mean what?
The Spirit Battle, beginning with Naga's howling, then ensues. When Korra gets pinned the first time, Mako and Bolin attack the spirit, which just makes it angry and all three of them are knocked out. Her father then shows up and does some cool ice surfing and other icebending, but ends up getting aggressively thrown at a building and is also knocked out quite cold. Tenzin then shows up and attempts to TALK to the spirit and find out what it wants (hey hey. Anyone remember the beginning of Mononoke? Hm?) but is also whacked away, which seems to finally be the last stray that prompts Korra to go into the Avatar state.
However it becomes clear that no amount of aggression can take care of the spirit. Things only change when Unalaq takes over and does some graceful, calm and very much more traditional looking waterbending that produces almost a "spiritbending" effect. I doubt he's actual bending spirit, but whatever he does kind of tames the spirit and gets it to leave, so that's what I'll call it for now.
Korra's amazed that he was able to manage the spirit, and he points out his familiarity with spiritual affairs again. This seems to be the finally point for her, and she decides to go with Unalaq—basically dismissing Tenzin from his role as her teacher. Tenzin seems a bit hurt by this and formally bids Korra something of a farewell.
He still intends to tour the Air Temples with his family. Katara mentions he "forgot something," with Kya and Bumi beside her—reminding him that theyr'e his family too. A little note about not taking siblings for granted, just to rub Sokka salt into our Airbender wounds, and Tenzin agrees to take his siblings along for the ride.
Korra confides in Mako one last time, asking him if she made the right decision. He tells her to follow her heart, and it will turn out right. He seems to have picked the "right answer" this time, as she is comforted and weaves her fingers into his.
My reactions:
- Holy Hannibal that trailer, that trailer, that trailer. I'm so glad that trailer is online cause I was ready to barf rainbows after it.
- I'm loving how Miyazaki-influenced parts of the show are having; the squid-spirit reminded me of a mix of moments, including things such as Ponyo
- For some reason I tend to forget that Tenzin probably grew up very much aware of Southern Water Tribe culture, just as I'm familiar with Mexico despite actually living an American lifestyle. This really solidified that to me.
- We're already getting to see different sides to the character we know; Korra's frustration is similar to where she was at in Book 1, but with some different drawbacks—for example she can't just run off to Republic City and be done with it
- Which brings me to the point that I like to see that the direction they decided to take to help establish that she and Mako are a couple was—instead of PDA, the intimacy and trust of conversation.
- "Go rest your gams!" LOL more 20's slang.
- Can we talk about the shots of Unalaq "spirit bending" or whatever the heck it was he was doing? Cause not only was it gorgeous in combo with the music, but how they animated it with the "camera" following his arms through the frames ugh
- The humor is a bit more zany and kinda took some getting used to. It definitely to me felt more airbender-y, which I think a lot of people will like. I personally like Korra's distinct tone, so I'm waiting to see the rest of the season before I decide how I feel on it.
- I don't consider it a problem I Book 1 like other people do, but I will note that Asami was a character with the least variety to her. She didn't really have personal weaknesses or faults—just circumstantial things. In this episode, however, as she's tackling this business thing, we get to see her herself showing her imperfects: she's unsure of herself, not completely confident, and I'm curious to see where that's going

Metalbending was considered impossible
for all of history until our esteemed Chief of Police,
Toph Bei Fong, single-handedly developed the skill.
its kinda funny (to me) that the book is called air because it really lacked a lot of substance.
substance in relationships and dialogue (very important to me), substance in plot, substance in the delivery
like i felt absolutely nothing about all the shit thrown at asami even though on a cognizant level i saw how much it sucked for her, and a lot of tarrlok's and noatoks story was the same.
some parts of the first episodes were pretty good at rising (my) emotions, and lin's sacrifice was too, but thats about it.
and idk i dunno if a can watch something with a fandom again
like checking others opinions online and stuff
a lot of them were annoying.
the obsession with mako's not-really-there-like-maybe-sometimes-barely dorkiness, the resentment people had from bolin not being the highlight of the show like they wanted him too (not that having mako be the highlight was better), and the ship hate among other shit was so irritating to read through.
and i had a lot of disappointment i tried to deny.
i really wanted to love the first season.
i got defensive seeing others criticize everything.
but ultimately a lot of those criticisms were valid. under the surface i had been let down by the lack of actual substance in the show and how boring and empty it was for me.
even with that i was reaaaaally sad my tickets for comic con were for thursday instead of friday, i'm still excited about the new season and gonna be watching every episode asap.
but im also wary, im prepared to be disappointed by it and to disassociate it from atla so it doesnt ruin it for me. i still have a feeling the show might just get worse and to the point where its and embarrasement that needs to be taken out back and get shot in the head.
with the new writers it might not happen. but it might. especially since theyre thinking of making more books.
Sokka: If the painted lady really wanted to help she would use her spirit magic to blow up that factory
Aang: No, Sokka spirit magic should be more like this

Mike Preston grades the Ravens' 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers
Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston grades the Ravens on their 34-31 win over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.

Receivers( Baltimore Sun photo by Gene Sweeney Jr. / February 3, 2013 )
San Francisco cornerbacks were fearful of the Ravens' big-play ability, and they gave Baltimore a lot of space to work with. Anquan Boldin (pictured) worked the intermediate and short stuff, and tight ends Dennis Pitta and Ed Dickson were constantly open. Boldin dropped three passes, but also made some clutch catches in the third quarter.

We arrived on Friday evening before the Penn State football game. The hotel staff kindly welcomed us at the front entrance with cookies, water, and other snacks.

There was a breakfast but we did not utilize it. WiFi was also available for free in the room.
Our hotel room was located just around the corner from the front lobby on the main floor. Although this was convenient for getting out to our vehicle the hallway was noisy. We could hear people talking in the hallway from inside our room throughout much of the night. I wish we had been given a more quiet room.

Road Trip To Redemption an Amazing Journey of Healing and Grace
- Tuesday, May 28, 2013
In my naiveté, I was still remembering her as she was before, instead of seeing her as she had become. I had missed the transformation in front of my very eyes. Actually, I'd seen the symptoms, but I hadn't taken them seriously. Instead of investigating the sudden changes in my daughter, I'd dismissed them, chalking it all up to normal teen issues. Day after hectic day had come and gone, and I was blindly doing my best to keep everything and everyone in their proper places. Hypnotized by the repetitive schedules and demands on my time, I was slowly losing my awareness of the very real and dangerous problem growing in my own home. I had fallen asleep at the wheel.
Not only had Bethany changed in appearance and attitude, but the time she spent alone in her room and away from her family or friends had grown from a few hours each week to a few hours each day. When she was around, her blank and absent stare was devoid of any emotion—beyond her growing irritation with the rest of us. Yet I continued to misread her activities, changes in appearance, and nasty attitude. I shudder to think what might have happened that dark week in September 2009 if I hadn't taken a moment to pray with my wife late one night in our bedroom.
Divine Intervention
As I took the time to quiet myself, and as I emptied my mind of the day's worries, I opened my heart in prayer and immediately felt the presence of God intrude into my awareness. It was like a firm, tender, but powerful impression, a deep whisper in my mind: Ask Bethany what she is hiding from you. I thought, Tonight, Lord? Right now? My heart felt an intense surge of emotion as I sensed the urgency. Immediately!
Since committing my life radically to Christ eight years earlier, one thing I had learned is that when God clearly speaks to me, it's wise to respond right away. My wife and I agreed it was important enough to interrupt our sleep that night, and we decided to find out what was really going on with our daughter.
As we walked the short distance from our room to hers, I felt frustration and anger build within me. Obviously Bethany was lying to us about something, and I was determined to find out what. Like many parents, we had battled with the pattern of deceit and halftruths so common in adolescents. I was convinced that Bethany had lied to us once again and was secretly pursuing some defiant violation of our house rules regarding boys or Facebook or texting. She was always pushing the boundaries with us, and this time she must have gone too far. After all, the middle child is often the most difficult—everyone told us so. Bethany had fought her mother and me every step of the way, ever since she was a little toddler. "I DO IT!" she had screamed at us when she first learned to talk and walk. And in the next decade, it seemed she had continued to resist every effort we made as her parents to win her heart and her trust.
Reality Check
At the door to my daughter's bedroom, I paused and listened. I could hear her quiet sobs and restless movements. I was beginning to grow more concerned and less angry at whatever she had done. I began to feel a darkness—deep pain and despair—coming from her room. It was a palpable sense that something or someone was tormenting my daughter.
I had often felt unprepared and unqualified to raise a daughter, let alone two. I seemed unable to understand their unique emotional needs. Yet I knew for sure that I loved Bethany with all my heart, and I was ready to do anything for her. Like any father, I would take a bullet to the brain or a knife through my heart—whatever it took to protect her. But that night, I sensed something deeper and more terrifying trying to harm my child, something I couldn't touch, fight, or repulse.
Whatever this problem was, it threatened to destroy my daughter, and it was time for me to battle for her like I had never done before. I immediately began to pray and to seek the wisdom of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Rarely do we get to pray for something else as pure and as needed as wisdom in raising our children, and I was exceedingly short and to the point. Lord, I need some insight here for Bethany. Please, Lord. I'm scared and confused, and I don't know how to help her. Please, God. And again I sensed the peaceful but firm impression in my mind: Just ask her to reveal what she has hidden.

To All Plan B Participants
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) prohibits the continued existence of standalone health reimbursement plans like AGMA Health Plan B. The Plan's Union Trustees, Employer Trustees and the Plan's lawyers have spent the past year trying to find a way in which to let members continue to use the money currently in their Plan B accounts.
The Trustees and the Trust's lawyers have determined that the only way in which to comply with the law and to allow maximum use of the funds in their Plan B accounts by the largest number of participants was to 'freeze' the accounts going forward effective September 1, 2014.
Plan B will thus be amended so that accounts with contributions received by August 31, 2014 will be segregated and no further amounts will be credited to such accounts. Such "frozen" accounts will not be thereafter increased based on contributions received after September 1, 2014 or any interest crediting. Such accounts will continue to be subject to the current administrative rules. (Forfeited amounts will continue to be allocated to Plan A and B expenses based on the current rules).
Participants may continue to receive reimbursement from their frozen accounts based on the traditional rules, EXCEPT that no one may be reimbursed for premiums for individual health insurance policies or for copays incurred under such individual policies. In other words, claims incurred before or after September 1, 2014 are eligible for reimbursement from frozen accounts subject to the above restriction on individual insurance policies as well as the applicable Plan rules (including the deadline for claims submission).
Going forward, AGMA intends to amend all of its contracts so that there will be no further contributions to Plan B. Instead, contributions that previously were directed to Plan B under current contracts will now be directed into individual retirement accounts in your name in the AGMA Retirement Plan.
Obviously, we recognize that this change will disadvantage some current Plan B participants. Please keep in mind that the Affordable Care Act prevents the continuation of current Plan B rules and necessitated these changes, and that all other possible changes would have disadvantaged far more members far more seriously. Also, despite the similarity of names, the AGMA Health Plan is not AGMA and the AGMA Trustees on the Plan had no choice but to comply with the law.
Please note: Different rules affect employers that offer both Plan A & Plan B (or allow the direction of Plan A contributions to Plan B), and members at those companies can contact their local Area representative or the National Office with questions for guidance, although the only definitive answers regarding the rules of the Plan can come from Derek Davis, AGMA Health Fund Executive Director, at (212) 765-3664.
To find your current Plan B balance, sign in at www.asonet.com, or call Administrative Services Only toll-free at (866) 263-1185 for help.
Affordable Live/Work Space for Artists in Harlem

El Barrio's Artspace PS 109 (http://www.artspace.org/our-places/el-barrio-s-artspace-ps109) is currently completing construction of 90 live/work units and 10,000 square feet of arts and cultural space in a historic, converted school house in East Harlem.

This website requires you to set up a profile. Applications are available now and must be postmarked or submitted online no later than July 14, 2014. Income eligibility guidelines and further instructions can be found at
Applicants who are artists and live in New York City will receive a general preference for apartments.

To qualify as an artist, applicants need not derive their income from their art. Keep in mind that The Actors Fund is not directly involved in the ownership, management, or tenant selection process for PS 109. We are simply working to make this information available to the performing arts and entertainment community.

AGMA and Actors' Equity Make Peace
Of special interest to members is the fact that now members of either union can attend the other union's auditions.
AGMA members in good standing for at least one year and
who have worked under an AGMA contract may join Equity
by virtue of membership in AGMA. The cost to join Equity
would be their then current initiation fee less the $500 initiation fee previously paid to AGMA. AGMA has a standard letter that needs to be presented to Equity upon joining.
You can obtain that letter by calling the Membership Department at (212) 265-3687.
Additionally, current member of Actors' Equity may join AGMA as an affiliate union. In such a case, only half the Initiation Fee and $78 for annual Basic Dues are required ($328).
In addition, both AGMA and Equity members in good standing are allowed to attend the other union's auditions without joining the other union.
