Fresh Start for IRS Debt
In 2011, the IRS introduced the Fresh Start Program to help alleviate some of the burden faced by taxpayers in a troubled economy. The Fresh Start Program offers various ways to help taxpayers get some relief from their IRS debt while being able to pay back at least a portion of what they owe to the government. The biggest change is the grace period before penalty for non-payment of IRS debt.
Fresh Start
According to a tax debt lawyer, the Fresh Start grace period gives taxpayers time to avoid the penalties that would have normally been applied following a non-payment as of the due date of April 15. These penalties are applied at a rate of 0.5% per month on the total amount of the unpaid taxes, with a maximum penalty of 25% of the total owed. Under the Fresh Start initiatives, there is a six month grace period before these penalties on your IRS debt begin to kick in. According to the tax debt lawyer, this grace period allows taxpayers more leeway to get their payments in on time without accruing penalties that make it more difficult to pay the total amount due.
The grace period only applies to people who have had a drastic reduction in income over the tax year. Specifically, an individual must have been unemployed for 30 days or more in the calendar year, or had a 25% reduction in income. The Fresh Start Program also allows qualifying taxpayers to pay their IRS debt in installments. It is a versatile and useful new law for those facing IRS debt.

First off, sorry if there is already a review thread I looked but nothing turned up.
I just recently got the HD collection for the 360, and although I'm thrilled to be able to play contracts and silent assassin on the 360 on my big screen, I'm disappointed. I guess I expected there to be more done to those 2 games, and visually I can't see the difference between the HD version and the version I played on PC years ago, they didn't really polish too much like I pessimistically expected. The inclusion of blood money is, how can I put this nicely, completely unnecessary. I would of much rather had codename 47 over blood money as you can pick up blood money pre-owned for pennies now and that way I, like many others, would of been able to have the whole series on one console.
I guess theres always the next game to look forward to.

Businessman Chau Chak Wing tried to build 'web of patronage'
Former prime ministerial adviser John Garnaut has accused Chinese-Australian billionaire Chau Chak Wing of trying to bring him into his "web of patronage" by offering him a job, expensive gifts and family holidays.
Mr Chau is suing Fairfax Media and Mr Garnaut over a 2015 article published on The Sydney Morning Herald website, claiming the article falsely suggests he is part of a conspiracy to bribe a United Nations official.
Mr Garnaut is a former Fairfax Media China correspondent who has since advised Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on China's influence on Australia.
Mr Chau is a prominent Chinese-Australian figure who has built his fortune from property development and is a donor to major political parties, universities and charities.
'Web of patronage'
On Wednesday Mr Garnaut told the Federal Court that when he met Mr Chau for an interview in 2009, Mr Chau offered to pay for transport and accommodation, made repeated offers of a free family holiday at his resort, gave him and his assistant expensive bottles of French wine worth thousands of dollars, and asked him, "with a little bit of twinkle with his eye", to come and work for him.
"I thought he was endeavouring to bring me into his web of patronage ... in a way that is incompatible with my professional responsibilities," he said.
They also met to have dinner at Mr Chau's private restaurant, where he and his assistant were given more bottles of wine. All the bottles of wine were later sold at an auction for charity.
From his meetings with Mr Chau, Mr Garnaut said he formed the impression that Mr Chau worked to create a "shock and awe demonstration of power and wealth".
"He gave and sought reciprocal commitment of special friendship underpinned by common interests," he said.
Mr Garnaut said he worked to "sweeten" that friendship with special luxuries.
On Tuesday, Mr Chau said he could not recognise Mr Garnaut from a crowd of people sitting in the back of the courtroom.
He also said the job offer he made was a "joke" and the offers of the free accommodation and free holidays were him being polite to friends in line with "traditional Chinese culture".
Sleepless nights
Earlier on Wednesday, David Ellis, the University of Sydney's director of museums and cultural engagement, said that when Mr Chau's name was mentioned in the 2015 article he received a "flurry of phone calls" from benefactors. The university is building a museum named after Mr Chau after he donated $15 million for that purpose.
"I was concerned for the reputation of the university, I had a few sleepless nights," he said.
Former vice-chancellor of the University of Technology Sydney, Ross Milbourne, said Dr Chau donated $20 million for its new business school building.
"I was just recovering from that and he said 'I want to give an extra $5 million for scholarships'," he said.
The university decided to name the business school building after Mr Chau, who Dr Milbourne said never requested a favour or anything in return for the donation. He considered him to be a "very honourable man".
Mr Chau's daughter, Winky Chow, gave evidence she was on a holiday when Mr Garnaut called "out of the blue" and asked her about her father's involvement in the UN bribery scandal.
"I was shocked and it didn't make any sense to me," she said.
She rang her father to sum up what was in the article, which made her father upset and stressed.
"He said he's done various good things and falsely accused of being a criminal," she said.
After the article was published, she said she had trouble organising insurance for the $70 million mansion in Vaucluse that Mr Chau bought from James and Erica Packer because of the media reports about her father. She admitted in cross-evidence she was eventually able to organise the insurance.
Ms Chow worked for then NSW premier Bob Carr and Morris Iemma as ethnic affairs policy adviser and now is the managing director of a Chinese-language newspaper in Australia, The Australian New Express Daily, owned by her father's company Kingold Group.
The case comes after Liberal MP Andrew Hastie accused Mr Chau of being a co-conspirator in a UN bribery scandal and "having extensive contacts in the Chinese Community Party".
The hearing before Justice Michael Wigney continues.

My first introduction to the Bird Dog brand was a while ago. I liked to stop by the Burnsville location of one of our local chains because the guy they had working in the bourbon department was top-notch. We had fun whiskey conversations all the time.
Often, the chat would start with me asking what new stuff they'd gotten in recently and what they were expecting. During a lull one time, he pointed to something new they'd gotten in. It was one of the flavored Bird Dog whiskeys: peach, blackberry, something like that.
I was going through a deep philosophical dislike of flavored bourbon at the time. And since in my mind, Bird Dog was a "flavored Bourbon company" I never really gave them another thought. I've since softened immensely on the idea of flavored bourbon, figuring that I needed to shut up and just let people drink what they like. But for some reason, that initial impression of the brand was hard to shake.
Well, that is until I was walking through the store last week looking for something to review. I was walking down the bourbon aisle, waiting for something that I hadn't had before to catch my eye.
Yes, sometimes this really is how things get on the site.
Anyway, I was walking, and I noticed right next to Bookers was a bottle that said "10 Years Old" big and bold right across the label. Glancing down at the price, I saw that it was $35. "Well, shit," I said, "no matter who is putting this out, 10-year-old and under $40 is interesting." So I grabbed the bottle of Bird Dog 10-year-old and went on my merry way.
Now, once I got home, and I did have a few questions for the producer. I knew this was a sourced bourbon and was put out by the same people as the Calumet so I reached out to them. I figured if I had these questions, you would too. Jon Holecz, Vice President of Marketing at Western Spirits (the Bird Dog brand owner) was kind enough to answer my questions.
First, noticing the lack of Straight on the label, I asked: "There is no mention of the word straight on the label. Was this a marketing decision or does this not qualify for that designation? As it is a sourced product, I know that it can't be called straight if it is sourced from multiple states, etc. And speaking of sourcing, are you at liberty to disclose where it is from?"
Jon: "This was a marketing decision, and all of our bourbon is distilled and aged in KY. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to disclose our source for this bourbon. Sorry!"
My wife noticed the "very small batch" near the bottom of the label and wondered "how small is your very small batch?"
Jon: "Each batch uses less than 100 barrels in the Bird Dog 10 Year Old Very Small Batch."
And finally, I was shocked by an age stated bourbon for an affordable price: "A 10-year-old bourbon at an affordable price is something of a rarity these days. I applaud you for being able to pull that off. I guess my final question is how did you accomplish it?"
Jon: "We are very proud of our Bird Dog 10 year old. As Bird Dog is still a new brand to many consumers, we do not want to over price ourselves in the super competitive market."
I want to thank Jon for taking the time to answer my questions.
Bird Dog 10 Year Old Very Small Batch Bourbon
Purchase Info: $34.99 for a 750 mL bottle at Total Wine in Burnsville, MN.
Details: 10 Years Old. 45% ABV.
Nose: Bubblegum, mint, vanilla and a little dill.
Mouth: Good spice in the mouth, mint, vanilla, and oak tannins.
Finish: Medium length. Nice spice at the back of the tongue. Lingering dark chocolate notes.
Thoughts: This is a ten-year-old bourbon that I bought for $35. That alone makes this worth a look. The fact that it is pretty tasty helps too. It is a very solid, well-crafted bourbon that has a nice "well-aged" flavor. Good oak which is not overpowering, good vanilla sweetness, and good spice. It works well neat and holds up well in a cocktail. If you are trying to find something to compare it to, it sort of reminds me of a Barton bourbon. Yeah. I like this one.

Macedonia, UNFPA sign agreement to improve maternal and newborn health in Macedonia
Macedonia Health Minister Venko Filipce and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Director Doina Bologa signed on Thursday an agreement on joint implementation of measures for the improvement of maternal and newborn health and reduction of mortality ratio.
According to Filipce, the agreement foresees a fund of 5 million Macedonian Denar (around 97,000 U.S. dollars), of which half of the funds are provided by the Macedonian government and half by UNFPA.
"This agreement aims the implementation of several activities by the end of the year such as trainings for the professional staff in two maternity hospitals that cover the highest number of birth, application of practices in line with the latest standards of the World health Organization (WHO) for the care of mothers and newborns," underlined Filipce.
Moreover, Filipce explained that the trainings will be offered from experienced WHO consultants.
This agreement is in line with the 2016-2020 UNFPA Program for Macedonia.
Infant mortality rate in Macedonia is about 11 deaths per 1,000 births, while neonatal mortality rate is 8, according to UNICEF data on Macedonia.

Hollywood doesn't have a good track record when it comes to adapting anime/manga properties for the big screen, as evidenced by the underwhelming box office returns (and at best lukewarm, at worst hostile, critical reactions) for such live-action films as Dragonball: Evolution and Speed Racer, as well as the animated Astro Boy - all three of which hit theaters in the late 2000s, as it were. Of course, that isn't stopping Paramount Pictures from moving forward with the Scarlet Johansson-led Ghost in the Shell, nor has it prevented rumors about Hollywood film adaptations of franchise like Naruto and Bleach from popping up every now and then.
Similarly, a live-action version of Akira - Katsuhiro Otomo's celebrated cyberpunk anime series-turned acclaimed 1988 2D animated film - is a project that has been making start/stop progress for years now, but that Warner Bros. Pictures has (seemingly) yet to give up on altogether. Daredevil season 2 co-showrunner Marco J. Ramirez was reportedly hired to put together a fresh script draft for Akira back in June of 2015 - and now, just over a year later, comes word that WB is courting a high-profile director to get the film moving forward, once again.
On the latest episode of Meet the Movie Press (check around the 13:47 mark of the episode), host Jeff Sneider revealed that Justin Lin is said to be WB's current top choice to direct Akira, and that the studio is actively courting the filmmaker to sign on for the project. Earlier this year, it was reported that Lin is actively developing (and may yet direct) a Space Jam sequel for WB. As noted by Sneider, it's plausible that WB studio heads would be all the more willing to green-light Space Jam 2 - a film Lin is reportedly invested in getting off the ground - should they be able to convince the director to commit to Akira, too.
The original Akira takes place in an alternate reality where a third World War breaks out in the 1980s, giving rise to the story's primary setting: a dystopian version of Tokyo (known as Neo-Tokyo) circa 2019. Otomo's manga/ anime are generally regarded as being allegories for Japan post-WWII (and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki), which is part of the reason why there's long been so much opposition to the idea of an "American-ized" take on Akira - in particular, one featuring a largely white cast (see similar accusations of white-washing against Ghost in the Shell). However, were Lin to sign on for the project, it's plausible that the live-action Akira would feature - at the very least - a more diverse cast and find a better way to honor Otomo's source material, while also adapting it for a larger audience.
Of course, a live-action Akira has proven to be difficult nut to crack for several filmmakers in the past, including Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli) and, more recently, Jaume Collet-Serra (The Shallows). Lin reads as being the better fit to tackle the project than those that have come before him, given that he now has experience handling both high-octane vehicular action/thrills (the Fast & Furious series) and more thought-provoking futuristic science-fiction (next month's Star Trek Beyond) - both of which are key elements of Akira. The question is whether or not Lin is interested in taking on the challenge in the first place - assuming that WB is, in fact, courting him for the job to begin with.
NEXT: Justin Lin Developing Space Jam 2 with LeBron James
We will bring you more information on Akira as it becomes available.

As a rule, your credit limit is based on your creditworthiness and your credit score. However, some credit cards do not offer a high credit limit to anyone, no matter how good your credit is. Store credit cards tend to have low credit limits. If you'd like a credit card with a higher limit, you should consider applying for a regular credit card – not a store card. But before you apply, check your credit reports to see if and how your credit score's changed after you got the Overstock card. Having good credit will make a big difference in how much credit you're given. The best way to get a high credit score is to always pay your credit card monthly bill on time, every month.
Other Popular Fair Credit Cards FAQs

Why Do I Have To Be The One?/
It's a fascinating thing.
We seem to have this deep desire to be seen as strong, empowered, smart "action" takers and will do all kinds of things to present that image to others. It's also important for us to view ourselves as "capable", "competent" and "creative thinkers."
In the world of dating, relating and mating one of the most attractive attributes both men and women mention is "confidence", including both self-confidence and a confidence that centers around a "can-do" attitude about life.
So what is happening when couples who have been dating for awhile or have moved on to a committed relationship begin complaining, "Why do I have to be the one?!" Where did the mindset go that allowed that person to see themselves as completely responsible for their part in the union?
Just this week, I heard:
- Why do I have to be the one to initiate this relationship work with a Coach? If he's not going to engage with this, I'm not taking it on!
- Don't I have to wait until my partner show's signs that he's honestly going to start taking responsibility for his part in the breakdown before I waste time working on this?
- Why would I work on making myself a better spouse if she is emotionally checked out?
- Is it really worth me doing all the work of learning to date in a conscious, healthy way if I'm just going to meet people who aren't doing the same work?
The short answer?
Because the only thing you have control over is YOU.
And you, committing to being the best "you" that you can be, who is fully in integrity and living in alignment with your values is going to bring you deep satisfaction and meaning in your life.
It also is the only way to have a shot at true intimacy in a love relationship. Why? Because nothing kills intimacy faster than moving from a loving, emotional connection into a power struggle, where the focus shifts to regular blame, criticism and trying to be "right."
I tell my clients on a weekly basis some version of this:
"I don't care what anyone else is doing right now. I care how you are showing up. That's our work together. Tonight, when you're brushing your teeth, I want you to look in the mirror and be able to say to yourself, "Nice job. I like who you were today."
And mean it.
If you've found yourself muttering the "Why me?" and are ready to get back to a place of strength and positive forward movement, there are two places to immediately begin:
- Commit to taking 100% responsibility for yourself in every single area of your life, including your intimate relationship
- Agree to do everything it takes to bring yourself fully into alignment with the woman/man you want to be in this world, while keeping your focus ONLY on you
Nothing is more empowering than moving out of any kind of "victim" mindset you may have fallen into, taking your life by the hand and embracing all the responsibilities that go along with creating an amazing life. From this place, thoughts easily move from "Why do I have to be the one to do this work?" to "I love that I have the ability to take a stand for the kind of relationship/life/etc that I want and will show up as the highest and best version of myself every single day, no matter what."
What do you do if your partner is not onboard and continues to react negatively as you attempt to change an unhealthy dynamic?
You focus on you, show up with integrity and don't engage in anything dysfunctional.
What if you show up with kindness, are vulnerable and own your part in the breakdown, only to have it met with more blame and criticism?
You stay the course, because this is about how YOU are now committed to showing up, not what another is doing.
What if you hear something like "I don't know what you're doing, but don't think it's going to change my mind about ______."
Guess what? You've got their attention and an acknowledgement that you are indeed, making powerful change that's being noticed!
To have true intimacy and a beautiful loving relationship, ultimately both partners need to get onboard with these two commitments. But the work almost always begins with one person who leads the way to greater possibilities. It never ceases to amaze me, after 20 years of "love and intimacy" work, the positive "influence" that one partner can have on the whole relationship! In my experience, the reason things don't change as quickly as they could is because the person leading the way gets discouraged and falls back into crossing their arms and saying "I won't keep changing if you don't begin, too."
Do you really want to be someone who decides that another gets to dictate whether you'll be a person who shows up as their absolute best self in life?
Here's to moving from negative "reactivity" to intentional, responsible "responding" and the amazing doors that this power move can make in your life!
I'd love to hear what's gotten you to make this move in your own life or where you're getting stuck!

For a Real Taste of Montreal, Go Beyond Poutine
As Canada's capital of cuisine, Montreal earned its food-scene fame through French-Canadian food: from the high-end, foie-gras-laden menus to the gravy-laden French fry dish, poutine. But beyond the classics and restaurants run by chefs on the covers of magazines, Montreal's dining scene holds a less-talked about treasure: food from around the globe, served at holes-in-the-wall, lunch counters, and high-end restaurants.
The combination of Montreal's relative affordability, Canada's welcoming immigration policy, and the city's population of eager diners means you can follow your Haitian mini-mart lunch of rice and beans with a dinner of fancy cocktails and a Syrian tasting menu. Here's the beginner's guide to exploring Montreal's veritable world of excellent cuisine, way beyond French fries in gravy (not that there's anything wrong with those).
Marché Méli MéloJust a few steps from the Jarry Metro stop, this Haitian mini-mart stocks all the tropical fruits and Caribbean fish you need to cook up an island feast. It also harbors a no-frills lunch counter in the back with what's widely considered the best Haitian food in a town filled with it. The Haitian community is more than 100,000 strong in Montreal. Patties—pastry-encased meat or fish, in either Jamaican or Haitian style—sing a siren smell from the front window, but the real treasure lies on the menu at the cash register. About twenty meats, soups, stews, and seafoods make it up, but what's most important is that almost all of it comes with the spot's magical rice and beans. Each serving could easily feed a family with its giant mound of kidney beans mixed with rice, brown with spice and flavor, and addictively good enough to make you forget the rest of the meal.
AgrikolWhile the food at Marché Méli Mélo serves as its only ambience, this Haitian bar and restaurant, co-owned by artist Roland Jean, restaurateur Jen Agg, and Arcade Fire band members Régine Chassagne and Win Butler, specializes in it. The peach-colored, palm-painted walls and music-themed murals that decorate the house-like space transport diners immediately to the Caribbean, while a window into the kitchen—with the appearance of a beachside shack—leaks the smells to complete the trip. On the table, beguilingly savory fritters called accras are crisp on the outside, tender within, and lightened by the accompanying foil of pikliz, spicy pickled cabbage served both on the side and in a jar on the table. The griot—marinated, stewed, and fried—crackles with flavor before the chunks of pork gently melt. Big, rummy cocktails wash it all down, while upbeat music sparkles around the room. This could be New Orleans, it could be Port-au-Prince, but somehow, that's what makes it uniquely, definitively Montreal.
DamasOn lists of Montreal's best restaurants, Quebecois spots nudge shoulders with Western European cuisine, but almost all include at least one outlier: this Syrian spot. Soft lighting and a rich red ceiling reflect the lushness of the food, a gentle stroll through traditional Middle Eastern cuisine with an eye toward the modern diner. Expertly made cocktails incorporate such old-world ingredients as sour cherries and rose petals. The tasting menu inverts the mezze tradition, serving dips like hummus and labne last, so nobody fills up on bread—and giving the steak-tartare-esque kefta nayye a chance to shine before the grilled octopus and lamb chops show up.
786 Halal RestaurantThis Pakistani restaurant, confusingly located at 768 Rue Jean-Talon (it's named for a significant number, not the wrong address), serves a huge menu of subcontinent specialties. Marché Jean Talon, the bustling fresh market, is often seen as the center of Montreal's culinary world, but just to its west, the neighborhood of Park Ex holds court as one of Canada's most diverse neighborhoods, making it a food mecca of its own. Here at 786, pillows of naan waft their garlicky scent around the upstairs dining room (below is a grocery store with the same owners), while piles of biryani, veal specialties, and grilled meats sit beside salty lassi drinks. But those in the know dig into the sarsoon ka sag, a complex tasting, yet deceptively simple, dish of mustard greens with spices and plenty of ghee.
Restaurant JoleeAcross town and across the subcontinent, this Sri Lankan spot serves up spicy curries and noodle-y string hoppers in a casual café space with a sweet outdoor seating area. While Indian restaurants commonly pop up around the world, the hot, coconut-fueled cuisine of the tiny island just off India's coast rarely manages to find a home. Here in Montreal, where tens of thousands of Sri Lankans live, there's no shortage, though, and at Jolee, you can sit down to a taste of kottu roti (like fried rice, but made from bread), while Sri Lankan television coos from the corner. Curries—meat, fish, or lentil—form the center of each meal, but diners can choose to eat them with plain rice, string hoppers (a fascinating pancake woven from rice-flour noodles), or pittu (a steamed chunk of rice and grated coconut).

|hat tip, because school + driver's ed are devouring my days help
1. In the books, Maura is the relaxed mom friend that is Blue's friend more than an actual mother. Who is your favorite mom character?
Okay, this is hard, as there are very few positive parent characters in most literature. But I'd have to go with Elwing from The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, because I am, obviously, not a nerd.
2. Adam wanted to go to Aglionby so he could one day escape where he came from. Have you ever dreamt of living somewhere else? Where?
OH YES. My dream home is a small downtown apartment in either Charleston, SC or New Orleans, LA.
3. In the second book, we meet the Gray Man. He is a hit man who loves poetry. Name a book you thought was going to be one thing and turned out to be something else.
It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, also known as The Book I Was Told Would Change My Life, And It Did, Just Not For The Better.
4. Gansey has searched most of his life for a buried king who is promised to grant one wish. What is one wish you would ask Glendower?
World equality, I think.
5. In this series, you get to see Greenmantle as a fleshed-out character but also as a villain. Name your favorite villain.
6. Blue's got her Raven Boys. Who makes up your bookish team?
A wholly incomplete list:
7. Ronan is a badass with a sensitive side. What book have you read that was action-packed but had emotional scenes as well?
8. Noah has a heart of gold. What character has touched your heart recently?
I've recently picked up Tamora Pierce's Emelan Universe series after years away from it, and I've been enchanted ten times over by Briar Moss. He's a super badass and sarcastic street thief who finds he has a magic gift for....plants.
You can call him any name in the book and he will not care, but threaten one of his plants and you're dead.
I love him.
9. Calla is a woman who speaks her mind and puts her foot down when necessary. Who is your favorite strong female character?
I'm going to have to make this a tie between Angela and Granny Weatherwax - they're both extremely badass witches who tolerate no nonsense and will string you up six ways from Sunday if you disobey them.
10. Chainsaw is an awesome Raven Boy pet. If you could have one "exotic" pet, what would it be? What would you name it?
Little-known fact about me: I actually already possess a dragon. Yup. His name is Tuddy, he's the size of a dachshund, and he sneezes purple sparkles.
I tag absolutely anyone who wants to do this! <3 So, let's chat! Favorite strong female characters? Dream home or exotic pet? If you could have one wish granted, what would it be? Comment below, and have a lovely day. <3

Well I cannot have a dragon as a pet AS I AM A DRAGON BOOK HOARDING QUEEn. #legit But dragons are still the obviously wonderful answer to #10. Although like I lowkey kind of would enjoy having a pet marmot?? They're so cute! They'd probably kill me but whatever! And omg I have so so many strong female heroines I adore...Blue Sargent for instance. ;) And also Lada from And I Darken and Em from Ruined and Nina from Six of Crows and Kady from Illuminae. *pauses for a breath* WOMEN ARE AWESOME THAT IS ALL.ReplyDelete
And I loooove this tag and I should do it sometime. I know someone tagged me a while back and I am 100% Raven Cycle trash and I have no regrets. :')Replies
Awww that sounds so adorable. Pfft, whatever, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem.
Am I the only one who doesn't like Nina? I don't know why, but I just never formed a connection to her at all. She irritated me almost constantly throughout the books. Inej was great, though <3
- Ellie
Oh, a Raven Cycle book tag, that is so cool! I read this series for the first time this year and I am now also officialy Raven Cycle Trash <3 I may do this tag someday soon because I can never talk enough about the Raven Boys :)ReplyDelete
Also, favorite strong female character? Ah, so many! I do love Katsa from Graceling, Manon from the Throne of Glass series and Lila from A Darker Shade of Magic. Also, a dragon or wyvern pet would be so cool, but since Fantastic Beasts I've also fallen in love with the Niffler :)Replies
I need to read A Darker Shade of Magic! And everywhere I go, I keep hearing about Manon. ToG is one of those series I'm not quite sure about; would you recommend it overall?Delete

The Jandy LXI400N swimming pool heater runs on liquid propane, but the gas heater still meets and exceeds all relevant environmental standards put in place. One of the worst types of pollution is NOx pollution (such as emission of NO and NO2); these gases, which are typically created by cars and other man-made machines, are a main source of smog and poor quality of air. However, the LXI400N is known for having low NOx emissions, especially for a gas-run machine. Moreover, the heater is so efficient that it has the potential to actually save you energy costs. Its heat exchanger (C-Fin) increases its performance by pulling hot air away from the internal parts. The efficient motor allows the heater to run for less time while achieving the same results, thus requiring less money to operate.
At 400,000 Btu of heat, the LXI400N is capable of heating very large pools efficiently – as large as 40,000 gallons in warm areas, although if you live in a colder climate or if the pool has no exposure to the sun, 35,000 gallons would be an appropriate sized pool for this heater.
This liquid propane/natural gas heater can be used either outside or inside; however, it is recommended that you hire a licensed professional who has experience in related matters to install the LXI400N in order to avoid complications. In addition, it is recommended that carbon monoxide sensors be installed nearby for safety reasons. The pilot light automatically turns on when the heater is running. In addition, the heater's control panel comes with its own light, and you can use the panel to alternate between the two built-in modes: pool and spa.
Jandy gives the option of buying accessories to enhance the performance of this heater; these include various pumps, lights, filters, and heaters. These products work in synergy and improve the overall performance of the system. Other possible add-ons include a water-resistant remote control and a control panel that can be mounted on the wall or side of a deck. This one control panel gives users the ability to turn on and off lights in the pool and jets in the spa, as well as the ability to control the speed of the pumps and the temperature of the water.
The LXI400N can manage pools as large as 40,000 gallons, and comes with an extremely efficient and environmentally friendly motor. This has the dual effect of heating a pool for less money and reducing air-quality-diminishing emissions. It can be used alongside other equipment from the same company, and has many options for remote control of the unit.

The Arabic-language al-Watan daily reported that the SDF have forced 1,000 civilians, mostly teachers, in the province of Hasaka and Deir Ezzur to join the SDF.
Al-Watan quoted an analyst as saying that the SDF's move is in line with the recent US decision to form a 30,000-member army in Northeastern Syria.
The US-led coalition announced on Sunday it is helping to create a new Border Security Force to fight terrorists in Syria. The unit, stationed along the Syrian border with Iraq and Turkey, as well as along the Euphrates River Valley, is expected to be comprised of up to 30,000 people. SDF veterans will make half of the unit, while the other half are yet to be recruited.
Damascus, Moscow and Ankara have strongly blasted the US new decision to form a Border Security Force.
The United States' military support for the militia first began under the administration of US President Donald Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, which provided Kurds with weapons and training.
Washington also continues providing Kurdish fighters with more military hardware in Syria despite US President's promise to his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan to halt arms shipment to the Kurdish fighters.
Ankara had said late November 2017 that Trump told Erdogan that he had issued instructions that weapons should not be provided to Kurdish fighters in Syria.
According to reports, the US plans to keep its troops in Syria long after the defeat of ISIL. Washington has been justifying its deployment of ground troops in Syria, which violates the embattled nation's sovereignty, by citing the need to fight ISIL.

Candidates sign up for Louisiana's secretary of state race
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — After sexual harassment allegations caused the resignation of Louisiana's last secretary of state, a state lawmaker who registered Thursday to run for the open position pledged to "clean the house" of anyone who is disrespectful or discriminatory.
State Rep. Julie Stokes, a Kenner Republican, didn't mention the accusations against Republican Tom Schedler directly or name him. But she clearly referenced the scandal in which Schedler was sued by one of his then-employees for sexual harassment.
"There will be a zero tolerance policy for harassment and discrimination of any type from top to bottom," Stokes said after signing up for the race. "We will clean the house of anyone who disrespects personnel or threatens to tarnish the reputation of this office."
Two other contenders filed their paperwork a day earlier for the Nov. 6 election for secretary of state: Republican former Sen. A.G. Crowe of Pearl River and Democrat Renee Fontenot Free of Baton Rouge, who worked as top assistant to two prior secretaries of state.
Another lawmaker, Republican Rep. Rick Edmonds, a pastor from Baton Rouge, said he'll qualify for the race Friday, on the election registration period's last day.
Schedler stepped down in May, after holding the office since 2010. Schedler's former top assistant, Kyle Ardoin, is working as interim secretary of state until voters choose someone to fill the remaining year of Schedler's term.
Whoever wins the special election for secretary of state will have to run again next year to hang onto the job as Louisiana's chief elections official, overseer of the state archives and keeper of the state seal. The secretary of state also manages the registration of businesses in Louisiana and several museums, including the Old State Capitol.
Stokes, an accountant, registered for the race only days after getting confirmation from her doctor that she remains cancer-free. Treatment for breast cancer derailed Stokes' plans to run for state treasurer last year.
No other candidate in the race referenced Schedler's scandal when signing up to run.
Crowe described his 16 years as a state lawmaker, both in the House and Senate, and his experience as the founder and CEO of a records management company. He said those jobs gave him a good understanding of how government works, along with archival work.
Crowe said voters "will see that what we bring to the table is a pretty good package of experience and knowledge."
Free, running for her first elected office, also stressed her work background. She said she knows the inner workings of the secretary of state's office after working there from 2004 through 2008, including in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Most recently, Free worked as director of the attorney general's public protection division, taking a leave of absence to run for office.
All the candidates have pledged to place a priority on protecting elections against voter fraud, intimidation and cyberattacks.

FIFA executives welcomes plan to limit president to 12 years
ZURICH (AP) FIFA says its executive committee has welcomed plans to transform the scandal-tarnished governing body, including a 12-year term limit for presidents and an age limit of 74 for the president and executives.
FIFA's reform committee also recommended that the annual pay of the president and executives be made public.
The panel also proposes that the tainted executive committee be renamed as the "FIFA Council." The council would be restricted to overseeing "strategic matters" rather than having "executive powers over policies."
The general secretary would be replaced by a chief executive.
The commission's report, published by FIFA, says "FIFA's leaders must recognize and accept that the errors of the past were real, and they were unacceptable."
Any changes have to be approved by all 209 FIFA members. The next congress is on Feb. 26.

It was a surprisingly short step for Jay Krottinger and Ryan Tanner from the life of Patti Page to the magical world of "Pippin."
The two Tulsans are among the consortium of producers for the current Broadway revival of "Pippin," the Stephen Schwartz ("Wicked") musical that earned more nominations for the 2013 Tony Awards than any other show, with 10, including Best Revival of a Musical.
Krottinger and Tanner plan to be in the audience at Radio City Music Hall on June 9, when the Tony Awards are presented. And if "Pippin" wins for Best Revival of a Musical, they will be among those receiving a statuette in honor of their contributions.
Not bad for a pair of guys who became involved in their first Broadway show just a few months previously.
Since 2008, Krottinger and Tanner have run IQ Surgical, a company that designs and distributes a range of medical devices, with an emphasis toward orthopedic surgery.
"We sell products for such operations as hip and knee replacement, and we consult with the doctors and surgeons who use our products about how beneficial they can be to their surgical procedures," Tanner said.
"An orthopedic surgeon may know everything about how to do a total hip replacement, but he may not know how the products we offer will help him do that procedure better," he said. "And that helps us learn more and more about the field, that we can incorporate in the future."
IQ Surgical has been successful, but both men also had aspirations for something once expressed in a song by Mel Brooks: "I Want to Be a Producer."
"I've been involved in theater and entertainment all my life," Krottinger said. "I've done a lot of performing, but I always had aspirations to be a producer."
Krottinger got the chance while working on a graduate degree at the University of Central Oklahoma, where he worked with Greg White, a professor of music theater at the college who was working on a musical about the life of Patti Page titled "Flipside."
The musical premiered in 2012 at UCO in Edmond; went to the Kennedy Center National Theatre Festival, where it was named Best Musical; then went on a short tour culminating in a limited engagement at the off-Broadway theatre 59E59.
Krottinger and Tanner served as co-producers of that tour and the New York engagement, forming a second company they call Square 1 Theatrics.
It was while they were in New York with "Flipside" that Krottinger and Tanner were approached about investing in the upcoming production of "Pippin."
"They wanted us to raise $250,000 in about three months, and my first answer was 'no,' " Tanner said. "I don't want to say yes to something and then not be able to follow through. And to be honest, 'Pippin' didn't sound like anything to me."
"Pippin" is the story of a young prince who wants to discover his true purpose in life. Pippin's journey is presented as a show within a show, put on by a band of traveling performers, guided by the Leading Player - a role that in the original 1972 production earned a Tony Award for Ben Vereen.
The new production would re-create the original choreography created by Bob Fosse, as well as incorporate the acrobatic dazzle of Cirque du Soleil-style performers, bringing an edgier, more spectacular element to the dangers and temptations Pippin has to face.
Krottinger and Tanner were invited to a rehearsal, where the company was preparing the show's opening number, "Magic to Do."
"You imagine that everyone goes into a rehearsal knowing pretty much what they want to do," Tanner said. "But no. It's a very painstaking process - the cast does a line, the director stops them and says, 'I like that, but you need to look here, your hand needs to be here, I want to see this person do this, this person do that,' all these little details.
"We sat there for eight hours as they worked on what ends up being about a four-minute song," Tanner said. "But when it all came together, all those little details in place, it was amazing. You could see the passion that every person involved had for this show. And 'Pippin' has the hardest working cast on Broadway, without a doubt."
"It's truly like nothing that's ever been seen on Broadway. And we were sold," Krottinger said, laughing. "I said that we would be happy to raise the money to be a part of this show."
Krottinger and Tanner set to work lining up investors, beginning with contacts they had made through working with local nonprofit organizations. They managed to raise the money in time and are one of the more than 40 individuals and organizations recognized as the producers of "Pippin."
"It's been unreal because it's all happened so fast," Krottinger said. "When we attended the premiere, we happened to sit next to a woman who was one of the producers. She's been involved in something like 25 Broadway shows, raised and invested millions of dollars, and this is the first time she's up for a Tony Award for a show she's produced. We did it on our first show. It's really humbling."
Square 1 Theatrics plans to continue its involvement with "Pippin" as it prepares for a national tour beginning in 2014.
"We're strongly advocating the tour comes to Tulsa," Krottinger said.
"Pippin" is currently playing at the Music Box Theatre, 239 W. 45th St. in New York City. Ticket prices range from $59 to $148. To order: 212-239- 6200 or 800-432-7250, tulsaworld.com/pippinbroadway

SIUE Arts & Issues Begins the Holiday Season with Musician Peter Mayer
Just in time for the holiday season, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Arts & Issues will present Peter Mayer's Stars and Promises 2016 – Wings of Angels at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1 in the Morris University Center Meridian Ballroom.
Mayer is a celebrated guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, who is bringing his acclaimed Christmas concert to SIUE. Joining Mayer onstage will be an impressive ensemble of musicians who have also played for other popular artists and companies of the day: Chris Walters on piano (Bela Fleck, Alabama and J.D. Souther), Eric Darken on percussion (Taylor Swift and Bob Seger), Mark Holland on native flute (Autumn's Child and Oregon), Zeb Briskovich on bass (Clark Terry, Grady Tate and The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra), Alicia Enstrom on violin and singer songwriter Brendan Mayer.
"Peter Mayer is an amazing guitarist, singer and songwriter, and he is bringing a world-class group of musicians along with him on this tour," said Grant Andree, Arts & Issues director. "This concert will be a terrific way to kick off the holiday season."
With his childhood years spent in India, his years in the PM band, years with Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer band, and performances with James Taylor, Don Henley, Ringo Starr and others, Mayer brings a vast palette of musical influences to the stage.
A striking stage production, beautiful lighting and pristine sound will put the finishing touches on this celebration of story and song.
The artist also uses his concerts to help raise funds for local communities where he performs. The Peter Mayer's Stars and Promises concert series joins with local charities to raise needed monies for charitable work.

In normal procedures, a surgeon has to look through a
microscope. This means he has to work in a static and non-ergonomic body posture, notes Meenink. "We chose to
implement a display for the visual feedback from the
captured microscope images," says Meenink. (It is also
possible to use the system with the microscope.) The display

— like the armrest — reduces fatigue. The HI is also
adjustable to deal with diversity in body dimensions and to
guarantee an ergonomic working method.
The HI itself simulates the movement of the instrument
tip inside the eye. A surgeon would normally have to move
the instrument one way outside the eye for it to move the
other way inside the eye. Now, the surgeon can move the
HI in the same way as if he had the very tip of the
instrument in his hand inside the eye.
There are also positioning concerns for the robot and
the patient. The slave robot must be adjusted to each
patient's head size. "There are pre-surgical adjustments for
this," says Meenink. These adjustments are made and then
locked in throughout the surgery. The robot must be
positioned, as well. Because it is designed for vitreo-retinal
eye surgery (surgery to the inner side of the eye, the vitreous
humor and the retina) and because this cavity is only reached
through a certain area of the sclera, the robot must be
positioned to enter the eye there, according to Meenink.
Future plans for the eye surgery robot include
optimizing its performance in accuracy, force feedback
capabilities, and usability. Its creators are testing the robot
to see just what needs optimizing, according to Meenink.
Meenink believes the first use of the Eye-Rhas system on a
human will occur within five years. In the meantime, he is
looking into commercializing the technology. SV

There are those that say diet affecting ADHD (ADD) is controversial and inconclusive. Is it? I take a look at an article that discusses ADHD, diet, supplements, and data from studies.
There's no evidence that the behavioral disorder ADHD is caused by diet.
However, research suggests that for some people, dietary changes can improve symptoms.
In fact, a substantial amount of research has examined how nutrition affects ADHD.
Bottom Line: ADHD is a complicated behavioral disorder, and common treatments include therapy and medication. Dietary changes may also be useful.
Nutritional deficiencies can also affect behavior. One study concluded that taking a supplement of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals led to a significant reduction in antisocial behavior, compared to a placebo. (24)
Vitamin and mineral supplements can also reduce antisocial behavior in children, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids have been shown to decrease violence. (25, 26)
Since foods and supplements have been shown to influence behavior, it seems plausible that they could also affect ADHD symptoms, which are largely behavioral.
Many studies have shown that children with ADHD often have unhealthy eating habits or nutrient deficiencies. (27, 28, 29, 30)
In particular, the amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan are used to make the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine.
People with ADHD have been shown to have problems with these neurotransmitters, as well as low blood and urine levels of these amino acids. (31, 32)
However, lower levels of zinc, magnesium, calcium and phosphorous have repeatedly been reported in children with ADHD. (39, 40, 41)
......Nevertheless, a 2014 trial of a multivitamin and mineral supplement did find an effect. The adults taking the supplement showed a convincing improvement on ADHD rating scales after 8 weeks, compared to the placebo group. (49, 50)
Children with ADHD generally have lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids than children who don't have ADHD (51, 52).
What's more, the lower their omega-3 levels, the more learning and behavioral problems the ADHD children seem to have (53).
Therefore, it's not surprising that many studies have found omega-3 supplements to cause modest improvements to ADHD symptoms (54, 55, 56, 57, 58).
In studies, omega-3 fatty acids appear to help improve task completion and inattention. Additionally, they decreased aggression, restlessness, impulsiveness and hyperactivity (59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65).

We have recently been treated to the release of not just ONE, but TWO brand new tracks from Kevin And The Vandals! We recently caught the end of their set at The Vic, supporting local favourites, Misfires. And since then we couldn't wait to hear more from these lads, so it's safe to say that these tracks have made a welcome addition to our playlists.
'Maybe' is the first track, and it embodies underground indie rock at its best. It brings us gritty and raw guitar riffs paired with boyish vocals to build melodies that become incredibly catchy. Layering this with an urgent beat and the hum from bass guitar to give the track a deeper sound. This track is nicely put together, building the energy and dropping it to keep you engaged, then reaching to a full sound that satisfies your ears. It feels simple and not over complicated, allowing the raw passion from KATV to leak through. It's a good track, but not quite a staple for these boys, I feel like there are bigger things to come.
These bigger things take form in 'Scapegoat' – which has proved to be my favourite of these new tracks. This track has a fuller bodied sound with captivating riffs and tumbling drum beats. It's not as simplified as 'Maybe' which makes it feel as if it's been pushed that little bit further. 'Scapegoat' is more urgent which makes it stand out. It presents the same boyish vocals, which have a hint more passion behind them. It feels tighter and well crafted; yet still hold onto a gritty and raw sound that is there in 'Maybe'.
Together these tracks show us what Kevin And The Vandals are all about, they're strong and exciting and we can't wait to hear them live! Be sure to check these guys out because they're onto something good.

Well, yesterday was the big day--the opening of A World of Stitches at the Bellefonte Museum--which also happened to be the first show I've participated in. I thought about writing this entry like it was no big deal and I have openings all the time. You know, like I'm so very cool and collected. But who am I kidding, I'm not remotely cool! And to be honest, it was a really big deal and I was very excited.
Kevin and I arrived at the museum in the beautiful Linn House in downtown Bellefonte and were welcomed by museum director and curator, Patricia House. We walked into the first gallery and I was immediately blown away by all the fabulous pieces from Panama and Benin.
Then Pat told me to turn around--both panels of the Early Morning Club flanked the doorway. Oddly enough, even though I was attending my opening, I was surprised to see them. I had worked so hard attaching all 112 pieces to the screening that I never really thought about how they would look displayed in the gallery.
(Kevin took most of the photographs.)
Seeing them all displayed in chronological order was fascinating to me. I could trace my stream of thought and identify shifts in my point of view. But I took just a moment to look at it before I had to check out the rest of the show.
Kevin helped me find Cash's Mountain, which was displayed over the fireplace.
and Fragment #4 and Plastic Grid,
which were displayed next to this fabulous work by Aldeth Spence Christy, who was one of the artists that worked on Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party.
Sue Reno is an award-winning artist whose work I have long admired. So it was absolutely thrilling to have pieces in the show with her. She attended the opening as well, and we had a wonderful conversation about art, process, poison ivy, and Pittsburgh. I don't want to spill her secrets, but I was relieved to learn that she doesn't measure! Nice to meet a quilt artist with similar sensibilities. Here is her Daylilies at Dawn.
The flags from Benin were fantastic. I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures as I would have liked, but I know I'll get a chance again when my mother and grandmother visit.
And the molas were absolutely irresistible. They were framed under glass, so did not photograph particularly well, but there were also vintage molas from the Kuna tribe for sale. I bought three. (I told you I couldn't resist!)
The show was so beautiful. Pat House did a fabulous job in conceiving and executing the show. Even though the work by the different artists were different, the show was amazingly coherent and the pieces were beautifully displayed. I highly recommend checking it out! (I would even if I weren't in it.)
Exhibiting in this show was motivational. One of the best parts of the day, which didn't photograph well at all, was to be able to talk about my work and answer questions about it. It felt good to know that I created work that interested people. So now all I want to do is make more art and get it out in the world!
Indulge me with one last photograph, of Kevin and me. He's believed in me from the beginning and has been telling me for years to get my art out there. And now I am so proud to look at him and know I finally did.

How to Choose the Best Multivitamin
In my practice, I recommend multivitamins (MVI) because despite excellent food choices, foods often grow in depleted soil, and many people do not absorb nutrients as well as they could. MVI's have been proved to help people in recovery from cancer and chronic illness, to prevent cancer, as well as address prevention of macular degeneration, cataracts, and much more. Many of these patients have the same question in response to my request: what exactly do I look for in a multivitamin? Without guidelines, a trip to the vitamin aisle or browsing online products can feel overwhelming -- so many choices! Here are some general guidelines below to help you feel empowered when you are choosing a multivitamin. In general, look for at least 100% of the Daily Value (DV) for vitamins A, B-1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B-6, B- 12, C, D, E, folic acid, and niacin. If you are over 50, look for a multi with 25mcg of vitamin B-12, which is about four times the DV. Many need >1000mcg of B12 and need to supplement in addition.
Keep in Mind Serving Size: How many capsules are required per day? Is this reasonable for you?
Vitamin A: Preferably, should be in the form of beta-carotene. Should not contain more than 2500 IU as vitamin A palmitate or retinol.
Folic Acid: Should have 400 mcg of folic acid.
Vitamin D: I frequently recommend at least 2-4,000 IU vitamin D3 per day (cholecalciferol), which often needs to be taken separately from your MVI (an exception is Life Extension Two Per Day which has 2,000IU).
Vitamin E: Recommended DV is only 30 IU and even that is hard to get in the diet. Look for a supplement that provides 100-400 IU of d-alpha tocopherol, or a mixture of tocopherols and tocotrienols.
Vitamin C: Minimum of 60 mg per day – you need 250-500 mg per day to saturate tissues.
Zinc/Copper: Should provide 15 mg zinc per day. The zinc:copper ratio should be 10:1 for absorption, so look for 2mg copper/day.
Calcium: Probably can't get what is needed in MVI. Most provide 200-300 mg/day.
Magnesium: Should provide 200-300 mg per day. If constipated or have tight muscles, take additional magnesium glycinate and titrate according to 1 bowel movement daily.
Selenium: Should provide 100-200 mcg per day.
What else is in there? Many companies include herbs in their MVI preparations, for example, as a way to market the MVI as "gender-specific", or for a particular medical issue (like "healthy eyes"). The amount of herb present in many of these products is often not enough to be helpful or harmful, and I am available to address any contraindications or possible herb-drug interactions in your personal case.
Personally, I like to recommend PhytoMulti by Metagenics to my patients because it not only meets most of the requirements listed above, but it also provides phytonutrients that are important for cell signaling and protection (reference). You can purchase this brand from our online supplement store.

Brody Cress was born and raised in the Cowboy State of Wyoming. His father is the assistant principle at Cheyenne East High School, where Brody was a wrestling standout. In fact, he won state titles the last three years of high school.
He could have gone to college on a wrestling scholarship, but chose rodeo instead. He won the saddle bronc riding in his home state twice to go to the National High School Finals Rodeo.
It was never a question of whether he would continue his education. He traveled to Stephenville, Texas, and started at Tarleton where he qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR) twice, most recently in June of 2017.
At that time, he was outside the top 20 in the PRCA world standings. He got some momentum going in his home state at the CNFR. Brody finished third in the nation. What happened next was history in the making.
He won the California Rodeo Salinas, then came home and won the "Daddy of 'em All," Cheyenne Frontier Days. Without the pressure of school, he was hot on the rodeo trail.
In September, he won another legendary rodeo, the Pendleton Roundup, in Oregon. He started his first NFR in sixth place with $105,665 in regular season earnings. With his first trip to the Thomas & Mack Arena, he had to juggle the high stakes of rodeo and his college finals which determined his graduation.
On December 16, 2017 after his first trip to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR), Cress walked away as the WNFR champion with 841.5 points on ten head. He was the first Wyoming cowboy to accomplish this feat since Cody, Wyoming's Enoch Walker in 1960. He finished second in the world behind Ryder Wright by a mere $2,652 after earning $176,621 in Las Vegas.
That same night, he missed the opportunity to walk at his graduation ceremony but accomplished his goal of getting his bachelor's degree in ag business.
One on One with the Wrangler NFR Contestant – Brody Cress
Favorite movie: 8 Seconds – hands down, it is my favorite movie. I grew up watching that movie. It's just awesome. I don't think I have a copy of it, but every time I get the chance to watch it, I'll dang sure sit down and watch it.
Favorite current TV show: I really like The Office. I think I've watched it two times now.
What Super Power would you want to have: I'd go with invisibility, so then I could go around doing stuff without people seeing it. I might get in a little bit of trouble with that one.
Favorite dessert: I like cheesecake a lot. You just can't go wrong with cheesecake.
Favorite card or board game: We've been playing Cards Against Humanity lately and that's a fun one. You never know what's going to come out of that and you learn a lot about people and how their mind works with that game.
If you weren't in rodeo, what would you be doing: I've wrestled since I was six years old until I went to college. I almost chose that path instead of rodeo, so if I wasn't rodeoing, I would be doing that. I owe so much to that sport and learned a bunch from it.
Favorite sport, other than rodeo: Rodeo and wrestling go hand in hand with the mental aspect of it all. It's a challenge to rodeo. There's a lot of ups and downs and it's the same way with wrestling. I would have to cut a bunch of weight and then you're out there relying on yourself too. It's the same way with rodeo. When you're in the middle of that horse for eight seconds, there's nobody that can help you.
Best childhood memory: I remember winning my first rodeo in the mutton bustin'.
Favorite thing you like about Las Vegas: The thrill of getting to ride out of the golden bucking chutes. It's an amazing feeling with the atmosphere and the people, while getting on the best horses in the world.
What was the mindset coming into Vegas: I just tried to keep it simple and do the same thing I've done all year. Obviously, it's not just another rodeo, but you still have to look at it like that in order to break it down and do what you've practiced all year. If I can't come here and do the same thing I've been doing all year, then I'm not going to be successful.
Dream draw: It would be the bucking horse of the year, Wound Up from Beutler & Son Rodeo. I've seen her a couple times this year and she's been absolutely outstanding. I would love to put my saddle on her.
What belt buckle do you wear and why: I wear the Salinas buckle because it reminds me of a Gold buckle, which I hope to be putting on next. That was the first big rodeo I won this year and I put it on my belt. It hasn't come off since.
What would people be surprised to learn about you: A few of my friends wanted us to go on the roller coaster at the New York-New York. I absolutely hate carnivals. People say, "Well, you get on a bucking horse, why don't you like that stuff?" I hate it. I hate carnival rides.
If you could give one piece of advice to a young rodeo competitor, what would it be: Never take advantage of your support system and show appreciation. There's so many people who have helped me get to this point and without them I dang sure couldn't be here. Tell people thank you that help you, even if it's for the littlest things. Dang sure make sure you always thank people, no matter what they are helping you with. They are going to help you get somewhere.

One of the things that always becomes an issue for people who have had extramarital affairs is deciding between telling their partners what they did and keeping it to themselves, which is a decision that only they can make on their own.
But what is the real problem in this scenario? Is it really just a choice between revealing your extramarital affairs and hiding them? Or is there more to it than just that?
Obviously, the biggest fear in revealing extramarital affairs is the possibility of your spouse leaving you and getting out of the marriage. But is there a guarantee that this won't happen anyway if you keep your affair a secret?
Here are some thoughts on possible scenarios that could occur if you decide not to reveal your extramarital affairs:
First of all, if you think it's easy to keep something this huge from your spouse, you better think again. Secrets have a way of revealing themselves sooner or later, and secrets in a marriage have a way of destroying it little by little.
Because for you to be able to keep the secret of extramarital affairs hidden, you will have to do a lot of avoiding. And you may not be aware of yourself doing it, but your partner surely will be.
When you're having a conversation, for example, there will be certain topics that you will stay away from of keep your partner from mentioning. And when this happens, he or she will usually notice, which will cause him or her to follow your lead and keep from mentioning those topics. You may breathe a sigh of relief and think that you dodged a bullet when this happens, but what it actually does is create doubt and suspicion in your partner which is the first step in his or her losing trust in you.
You may think that it will get easier when you've gotten the hang of it, or that thing will get better in time, but the opposite is actually true. The more you lie to cover up your extramarital affairs, the more you drive a wedge between you and your partner. And the more he or she will be driven away.
Don't think that keeping your infidelity a secret will not have a price and leave you free from consequences. Think deeply about this choice, and of how you will handle either situation before finally deciding what it is that you will do about your extramarital affairs.
