Update on Day 28 Update
While we were in there tonight, his Dr. was there so we got to talk to him. He said they took a second look at the ECG of his heart and that they've decided the opening was larger than they originally thought. He has had increased heart rate and a few other minor signs, so they are going to go ahead and treat this with medication starting tomorrow morning. They will stop his feedings and give him his medication over 36 hours. Dr. Chris said that about 80% are fixed with this first round and that 90% are fixed with 2 rounds. SO..hopefully this will work the first time. If the medication doesn't work then he'll have to have a surgery and of course we're wanting to avoid that. If this PDA (thats this little heart thing) has been affecting breathing, oxigination, or his heart rate then they said we'll see a big turn around once it's fixed. Please pray for his little heart.
Dr. Chris said they'll do another head scan to check the swelling Thursday or Friday. There has been growth over the last 2 days. I fully believe that all these prayers will turn that around.
Still on antibiotics for 2 more days to make sure there is no infection. They can be tough on his liver and kindeys so we're kind of ready for him to be off of those.
We thank you so much for your prayers. We are honored to have so many people praying. We don't ask you for these prayers lightly or with greed, we are so thankful for all of you who pray. I have so much comfort and I believe so strongly that this WILL make a difference--that all of these prayers are working and will work!

I'm completely in awe of you! I can only imagine how overwhelming all of the information is that the Doctor is telling you and you manage to communicate all of that info to thousands of people. WOW! I know that I have a hard time remembering everything that Gibson's doctor tells me on his well-visits. :-) My prayers are with Kanyon that his heart will heal with the medication. I pray that you and Kory continue to stay strong and encouraged.
Love, Sheridie Daniels Dyess

I check your website often and will definitely keep praying for him. My surviving triplet had PDA surgery when he was 12 days old and just over a pound. All in all he did well. They did 2 rounds of the meds and it just wouldn't close without the surgery. I will be praying HARD for your son.

Facts & Figures: Everything you ever wanted to know about breast cancer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
A lump or a sensation that an area feels different from the surrounding tissue
Pain in the breast
Abnormal discharge from the nipple
Change in breast size or shape
Inverted nipple
Changes to skin on the nipple or breast
Main Risk Factors
Gender: Women are 100 times more like to develop breast cancer than men.
Age: The risk of developing breast cancer increases with age, although women of all ages are at risk.
Race and ethnicity: According to the American Cancer Society, white women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer, but African-American women are more likely to die.
Family History: Having relatives with breast cancer dramatically increases the chances of developing breast cancer.
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray of the breast that can detect extremely small tumors not felt during breast exams. Mammograms are widely considered to be the best defense against breast cancer because if it is discovered and treated while still confined to the breast, most women survive and live full, active lives.
Who should have mammograms? When?
All women over 40 should have a yearly mammogram as well as any man or woman who is experiencing one of the symptoms of breast cancer.
Mammogram costs
KRMC: $280, but only $99 in October
Havasu Regional Medical Center: $194.50
National Average: $290, according to New Choice Health
The Affordable Care Act mandates that all insurance cover yearly mammograms with no deductibles or co-pays for women over 40.
For women who cannot afford a mammogram out of pocket, offerings such as the KRMC Foundation's Catch It Early and Havasu Regional's Cancer Association of Havasu have programs set up to assist women who are looking to get a mammogram.
Prevention Tips
A healthy lifestyle with good diet and exercise can decrease the risk slightly. However, even healthy women are diagnosed with breast cancer.
Myths debunked
Getting diagnosed with breast cancer is a death sentence: This isn't usually the case. If it is caught early and the cancer is confined to the breast, most women will survive treatment and live long, active lives.
The treatment is long and painful: While advanced stages of breast cancer can require chemotherapy and hormone therapy, if caught early, local therapy can be administered to treat a tumor at the site without affecting the rest of the body, according to the American Cancer Society. Some women can even receive treatment without affecting their work schedule.
Breast cancer only affects older women: Women can develop breast cancer at any age. However, the risk goes up as a woman ages.
Men can't get breast cancer: Breast cancer overwhelmingly affects women, but there are about 2,000 men in the United States each year diagnosed with breast cancer.
Breast cancer isn't as deadly as other ailments, yet they get the most funding and attention. Why?: It's difficult to quantify deaths compared to other cancers, but breast cancer tends to be one of the more frightening ones because it can affect healthy individuals and people die as a result of the cancer. Colon cancer has a higher death rate and, much like breast cancer, is hard to prevent and can develop in very healthy individuals. It isn't as discriminatory as breast cancer, which overwhelmingly targets women over men. Prostate cancer patients often die with that cancer rather than as a result of it.
State of the fight against breast cancer
The Center for Disease Control tracks incident and mortality trends for different kinds of cancer. For breast cancer, incident rates have remained the same since 2001. Death rates, however, have decreased by 2 percent since 2001. This can be attributed to awareness and the push to make yearly mammograms accessible and affordable for all women, as catching it early significantly improves the chances of survival.
In recent years, while risk factors such as age and ethnicity have been identified, exactly how these risk factors cause breast cancer is still unknown. According to the American Cancer Society, hormones seem to play a role in many cases, but how is not fully understood.
Most funding raised to fight breast cancer goes toward offsetting the costs of treatment, awareness, and funding and promoting yearly mammograms. Because early detection grants the best chance for survival, mammograms are critical in reducing death rates.
The 'Pink Ribbon'
The symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the pink ribbon, which dates as far back as the Iran hostage crisis in 1979. Yellow ribbons were tied around public trees in support of the hostages held in Iran, which is thought to be inspired from the song "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree." The song is based off an American folk tale where a prisoner asks his love to tie a yellow ribbon around a tree in front of their house to signal that she wants him to come home.
AIDS activists adopted the ribbon in the late 1980s, turning it red and creating the loop. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation then adopted the ribbon in 1991, handing out pink ribbons to breast cancer survivors running in the "Race for the Cure" in New York City.
Who gets your donation?
"Pinkwashing" is the term coined for all the marketing programs used by nonprofits and businesses alike that capitalize on the cause to raise money for breast cancer programs.
Identifying programs that will use this money primarily for programs can be difficult because, for the most part, nonprofits and groups tend to keep their finances quiet. Also, businesses are not required to disclose what percentage they donate from their "pink" products.
Each registered nonprofit, however, is required to disclose its revenue and expenses each year on Form 990 through the IRS. The public is free to look at those forms to see where the money is going, and the forms are searchable via their EIN number.
Another resource is Charity Navigator, which takes the publicly disclosed Form 990s for most charities out there and puts that information into a database searchable on the web and through their mobile app.
They divide the finances into categories.
"Program Expenses" is the amount of money spent directly on the programs that the nonprofits conduct.
"Administrative Expenses" is the amount of money spent on staff and keeping the nonprofits operation going.
"Fundraising Expenses" is the amount of money spent on raising money for the charity.
They also use a "Fundraising Efficiency" metric, which divides the amount spent on fundraising by the amount brought in. The lower the number, the better.
Nonprofits strive to spend as much as possible on programs and as little as possible on administration and fundraising.

The weekend prior to the beginning of fall semester, posters advertising white nationalism and supremacy were found at the Weber State University Ogden Campus. The posters were promptly taken down.
Covering existing WSU posters, the posters grabbed attention with sayings such as "Hey, White Person!" and "Aren't you tired of anti-white propaganda?" promoting racism and QR codes that led to alt-right websites.
The posters violated the school's policy on the Distribution of Written Materials on Campus, wherein any student, faculty or guest must obtain approval from the Office of University Relations.
News and images of the posters were distributed via social media, text message, and word of mouth. Adrienne Gillespie Andrews, Chief Diversity Officer for Weber State, was alerted of this incident via Facebook and text message. "I was not happy, but it's not unexpected, and the reason it's not unexpected is because we see this happening nationwide on college campuses." Andrews said. "While I would not like to think it could happen here, it could happen anywhere," regarding a similar event that occurred on the University of Utah campus a few weeks prior.
Quickly following the poster removal on campus, President Wight's Welcome Email reinforced the welcoming community and respect of differences in ideas, backgrounds and experiences that Weber State offers its students, faculty & staff and guests. He wrote, "Our institution is a marketplace of ideas, in which we do our best to foster respectful viewpoints. Messages that simply exude hate and bigotry shut down that marketplace … We must work to keep Weber State the welcoming environment it always has been."
History major and Senior Kestin Page discovered the news of these posters, simultaneously after finding out his flyers for the movie viewing of "13th," a documentary on the history on racial injustice within the United States, were taken down. Page's initial shock turned into wondering how Weber State University can take this event and turn it into a discussion for students and faculty.
"These [white supremacist] ideas are everywhere in America and it's important for us to have those sort of conversations about what they are, how they happen and how they permeate our society…We as a community, the university as an institution, need to be doing everything that we can to support one another," Page said.
In response to the posters, Weber State is taking the initiative by reaffirming the new theme for the Community of Engaged Learning, already set in place since the spring semester of 2017. The new theme, Civility, will produce workshops, speakers, activities and presentations centered on the theme itself. Posters on yellow paper have also been seen around Elizabeth Hall, reading "Hate is NOT welcome here!"
Andrews' office has been working with community partners, holding conversations about race in town hall meetings for the last year.
"The conversations we've been having about race aren't in response to this situation, they've been ongoing. So that means that we've recognized that we are not immune to these sorts of situations happening. But it does present for us an opportunity to have difficult conversations around the idea of free speech and what the means on a university campus," Andrews said.
On Sept. 7, an open forum regarding student reactions to the postings will be held at 10:30 a.m., sponsored by the Diversity Office.

Why confessing Canada's failures could be part of Trudeau's plan for UN success: Chris Hall
Canada is lobbying hard for a seat on the UN Security Council in 2021
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has now given two speeches to mark the opening of the UN General Assembly in New York, two speeches in which he sought to burnish his government's progressive, internationalist credentials at a time when so many other world leaders are focused inward.
A year ago, the prime minister spoke of how Canada welcomed 31,000 Syrian refugees fleeing civil war in their home country. At a time of significant upheaval, he spoke of the importance of global leaders working together to allay rather than exploit people's fears.
On Thursday, he chose this same international stage to lay out a very different vision, focused this time on what he sees as Canada's national shame, and how his government is working to right the historic wrongs perpetrated against Indigenous people.
"Canada is not a wonderland," he said in French early in his remarks at the UN, "or a country where difficulties don't exist."
To any Canadian this might seem more than a little self-evident. But what may seem far less self-evident is the purpose of a political leader using time at the UN to publicly highlight his country's failings. But make no mistake, there is a purpose.
'We need to take responsibility'
Trudeau has gone to great lengths promoting his government's re-engagement with the UN, and to similar lengths promoting reconciliation with First Nations, Inuit and Métis. Weaving these themes together was a unique chance to play both to voters at home and to world leaders in New York, where Canada is lobbying hard for a seat on the UN Security Council in 2021.
"In conversations over the years, when I've suggested that certain countries need to do better on their own human rights, their own internal challenges, the response has been, 'Well, tell me about the plight of Indigenous people,'" he told reporters after the speech.
"If there are things we are not doing right, I think we need to take responsibility for that."
This speech was clearly more mea culpa than lecture. More about how Canada can take what it's learned about its own failures to bring positive solutions to global issues.
Trudeau linked his focus on a domestic issue with the UN's own sustainable development goals as he listed the needs of Indigenous people in Canada: clean drinking water and proper sanitation (Goal 6), quality education (4), gender equality (5) and sustainable communities (11).
He also spoke about his government's decision to support the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, and to abandon the previous Conservative government's opposition to the declaration on the rights of Indigenous people.
The domestic theme continued in other areas, too.
Trudeau confirmed his government will soon introduce legislation to guarantee equal pay for work of equal value.
He repeated Canada's support for the Paris accord on climate change, and admonished other leaders that they cannot walk away from the responsibility to act.
Both statements received polite applause in the hall.
'He's trying to save face'
But Trudeau's speech didn't win any applause from Pam Palmater, the chair of Indigenous governance at Ryerson University in Toronto.
She said Trudeau talked only of past sins, glossing over the continued shortcomings of his and other governments in meeting the challenges faced by Indigenous people.
"What is the No. 1 reason that there isn't clean drinking water on many First Nations?" she said. "It's because of a refusal to provide adequate funding by even the current government."
More than 150 of those communities still have drinking water advisories.
"He's trying to save face," she said. "He's trying to make sure he gets on the Security Council."
Bid for a seat
The bid for one of the rotating seats on the UN's governing body might not be the only reason for Trudeau's focus, but it clearly matters.
Stephen Harper's government withdrew a bid in 2010 when it became apparent Canada would lose — a failure critics blamed on Harper's unfailing support for Israel, and his outspoken distaste for the UN's bureaucratic intransigence.
"Canadians benefit when we have a time on the Security Council," Trudeau told reporters. "But I don't think it's overly presumptuous of us to say perhaps the world benefits when Canada has a voice on the Security Council."
Not surprisingly, Trudeau said nothing about Canada's still unfulfilled promise to contribute troops and police officers to UN peacekeeping operations, a few weeks before Canada hosts an international summit intended to secure new pledges for those missions.
That's one delayed decision that isn't helping the cause.
"The prime minister is paying lip service to his commitment to peacekeeping at the UN," said New Democrat MP Hélène Laverdière.
She said the "hypocrisy is astounding."
But the strangest portion of Trudeau's speech came near the end when he raised his government's controversial plan to force incorporated small businesses to pay higher taxes.
It must have been puzzling to those listening at the UN.
But, when it comes to burnishing Canada's progressive credentials at the world body, why not treat tax fairness like it's an international development goal instead of the hot-button domestic political issue it really is.

The Power of the Blotter
We are going to look at scripture that discusses God writing our name in His Book of Life, blotting out Sin from His Book, and removing names that have have been written in the Book.
Before modern erasers and backspacing were invented, a penknife was used to remove words on a parchment or manuscript. When this was done by scribes, traces of what was written would remain.
When God uses His 'penknife' in on of His books, there will be no trace of a sin ever existing or a name that was ever written. Whatever was there will be completely wiped away.
That is why God can say, "Depart from me, worker of iniquity, I never knew you." and cast us into the lake of fire.
Or why God can say, "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."
In the New Testament the word is exaleipho and it means to wash every part, obliterate, wipe out, blot out. It is a complete removing of something or someone.
In the Old Testament the word is machah and it means to wipe away, utterly destroy, to wash off by wiping.
Both the O.T. and N.T. indicate a complete and utter removal. Erasing something as if it was never there.
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their lips;
but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
And he called the multitude, and said unto them,
Hear, and understand:
not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man;
but that which cometh out of the mouth,
this defileth a man.
Every plant,
which my heavenly Father hath not planted,
shall be rooted up . . .
those things which proceed out of the mouth
come forth from the heart;
and they defile the man.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,
murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
these are the things which defile a man:
~ Matthew 15:8 – 11, 13b, 18-20a
Jesus describes what defiles a man and what will send him to hell. It does not matter if someone claims Christianity, has believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, or if they have lived like the Devil all their life.
If we continue willingly to sin we defile our heart, and are guilty of judgment.
When we first professed salvation, God took His penknife and blotted out our sins like they were never there.
Be ye therefore followers of God,
as dear children;
and walk in love,
as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us
an offering and a sacrifice to God
for a sweetsmelling savour.
But fornication, and all uncleanness,
or covetousness,
let it not be once named among you,
as becometh saints;
neither filthiness, nor foolish talking,
nor jesting, which are not convenient:
but rather giving of thanks.
For this ye know,
that no whoremonger, nor unclean person,
nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things
cometh the wrath of God
upon the children of disobedience.
~ Ephesians 5:1-6
We are warned against being children of disobedience. If we continue in sin, we will die in it. God will look upon us as if He never knew us.
His penknife already blotted us completely out of the Book of Life. No remnant, not even a trace of our name will remain. It will be completely gone.
Jesus spoke of those who practice iniquity and made no distinction between their status as a believer or unbeliever.
Their status was based upon their choice to follow Christ, repent, and show works meet for repentance.
Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you:
depart from me,
ye that work iniquity.
~ Matthew 7:22-24
then shall ye begin to say,
We have eaten and drunk in thy presence,
and thou hast taught in our streets.
But he shall say, I tell you,
I know you not whence ye are;
depart from me,
all ye workers of iniquity.
~ Luke 13:26-27
Moses was a picture of Christ in the Old Testament. He was in constant supplication for his people just like Jesus is constantly standing for us in Heaven before His Father.
Moses knew God could remove names from the Book of Life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the following argument. At some point in scripture we would see God correct this assumption if it were not true.
But we see the opposite. Jesus teaches this doctrine to believers and tells us to heed this warning while we work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Here is Moses' argument and other examples of God using His penknife in various ways. The things blotted out are remembered no more; Just like they never existed. It is a wonderful and fearful thing to behold the power and judgment of God.
And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said,
Oh, this people have sinned a great sin,
and have made them gods of gold.
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—;
and if not, blot me, I pray thee,
out of thy book which thou hast written.
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Whosoever hath sinned against me,
him will I blot out of my book.
~ Exodus 32:31-33
the Lord spake unto me, saying,
I have seen this people, and, behold,
it is a stiffnecked people: let me alone,
that I may destroy them,
and blot out their name from under heaven:
and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
~ Deuteronomy 9:14
Therefore it shall be,
when the Lord thy God hath given thee rest
from all thine enemies round about,
in the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it,
that thou shalt blot out the remembrance
of Amalek from under heaven;
thou shalt not forget it.
~ Deuteronomy 25:19
the Lord will not spare him,
but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy
shall smoke against that man,
and all the curses
that are written in this book
shall lie upon him,
and the Lord shall blot out his name
from under heaven.
~ Deuteronomy 29:20
and cover not their iniquity,
and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee:
for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
~ Nehemiah 4:5
Hide thy face from my sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities.
~ Psalm 51:9
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living,
and not be written with the righteous.
~ Psalm 69:28
Have mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies
blot out my transgressions
. . . Hide thy face from my sins,
and blot out all mine iniquities.
~ Psalms 51:1, 9
I, even I, am He
that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake,
and will not remember thy sins.
~ Isaiah 43:25
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud,
thy transgressions, and, as a cloud,
thy sins: return unto me;
for I have redeemed thee.
~ Isaiah 44:22
"And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow,
help those women which laboured with me
in the gospel, with Clement also,
and with other my fellowlabourers,
whose names are in the book of life.
~ Philippians 4:3
Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 3:19
blotting out the handwriting of ordinances
that was against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way,
nailing it to his cross;
~ Colossians 2:14
He that overcometh,
the same shall be clothed in white raiment;
and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life,
but I will confess his name before my Father,
and before his angels.
~ Revelation 3:5
God has the power to blot out our sins, remember them no more, and to write our name His book of Life.
He also has the power to blot out our name once it has been written in His book and remember it no more.
When we fall back into sin and practice iniquity as described above, we are no longer worthy of Heaven, and God removes our name from His book.
Then He waits . . . provides grace, calling us back to Him; to His Mercy Seat, to forgiveness, to a life in Christ.
And to all who overcome this world and its sin, Jesus will give them a white stone.

A huge World War II unexploded bomb was one of two successfully defused on Sunday by German experts after the pair were discovered on the riverbed of the Rhine.
The larger of the bombs weighed 1.8 tonnes and was the most powerful yet to be found in the country.
Its discovery came to light after water levels fell due to a dry spell.
Nearly half the population of the city of Koblenz -some 45,000 people in all – were evacuated as a precaution before the bomb disposal team got to work.
The operation took hours to organise – sports halls were prepared to accommodate the evacuees.
Germany is littered with unexploded US and British bombs dropped by the Allies between 1943 and 1945. The aim had been to cripple German industry. Most of the old city of Koblenz was destroyed.

3 members of outlaw motorcycle gang indicted for beating, robbing Abilene man
ABILENE, Texas — Three members of an outlaw motorcycle gang accused of robbing and beating an Abilene man were indicted Thursday.
Daniel Aragon Machado, 36, of Abilene, Justin Nathaniel Aldava, 23, of Abilene and Jesse Lee Trevino, 34, of Merkel, were indicted for aggravated robbery, robbery and engaging in organized criminal activity.
Van West Robinson -- a member of the Kinfolk Motorcycle Club -- rode past the Bandidos' clubhouse in the 1300 block of Butternut Street on July 25.
According to the indictment, Machado, Aldava and Trevino followed Robinson and tried to kick him off his motorcycle.
They eventually cut him off and surrounded Robinson.
Robinson pulled out a gun and held it at his side.
Robinson said Machado yelled "There are 30 more people coming to get you."
The men also shouted "You can't disrespect the Bandidos!," "This is our turf!," and "We're going to shut you up like we shut Dusty up!," according to the indictment.
Wesley Dale Mason, a former Bandido, is charged with his murder.
Worried that they were going to kill him, Robinson said he holstered his pistol and got on his bike to leave. But Trevino tackled him off the bike and onto the ground.
According to the indictment, Robinson was kicked numerous times in the head, upper shoulder, back, chest, and stomach. as well as kicked and stomped in his hips and knees.
Robinson said he was also punched "numerous times as they held onto his beard."
According to the indictment, Machado, Aldava and Trevino tore off Robinson's Kinfolk Motorcycle Club cut and left.
Robinson said Aldava ran over him on the way out.
Robinson's gun and cell phone were in the cut.

GOP Backs St. George
The effort to incorporate the proposed City of St. George (pop. 107,000) has picked up a new ally — the Republican Party of the East Baton Rouge Parish.
The GOP has announ-ced its endorsement of efforts to put the proposed incorporation on the election ballot. St. George leader Norman Browning said his group is aiming for a public referendum on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014, the same day as U.S. Senate and Congress. The Republican Parish Executive Committee voted to support placing incorporation before voters.
In a statement, the GOP said, "Hundreds of volunteers have been working for months to secure 18,000 signatures on a petition to call an election on incorporation."
"The pro-St. George movement has demonstrated important points that every citizen should consider: "St. George is the fastest growing area of the parish, except Central. Yet, its infrastructure has been neglected for decades."
"With 107,000 residents, St. George could be the 5th largest city in Louisiana and control an annual budget of more than $52 million. Yet, the reality today is that the tax dollars collected in St. George are not being spent there. Rather, these tax dollars are shipped to the City of Baton Rouge where they are spent."
"The irony is that the citizens of St. George are paying taxes to support a city but it's not their city. It's the City of Baton Rouge."
"The City-Parish budget shows $82 million collected in the unincorporated areas of the parish. Of those funds, $17 million is used to pay 100 percent of the expenses of constitutional offices in the parish, such as the 19th Judicial District Courts and the District Attorney. St. George residents don't pay their share of parishwide expenses for constitutional offices. Instead, they pay 100 percent of the cost of these constitutional offices! Residents of Baton Rouge, Baker, Zachary, and Central pay zero toward the cost of the court system. This an amazing and possibly illegal arrangement that unduly burdens the citizens of one area of the parish and requires them to pay a burden that should rightfully be shared among all the citizens."
"Another $12 million collected in St. George is used to pay 100 percent of the cost of other parishwide offices, such as the Parish Prison and Animal Control. Again, 100 percent of the expenses of these governmental agencies are paid by taxes collected in the unincorporated areas of the parish. These expenses should be assessed parishwide. The people in St. George should not have to pay 100 percent of the cost of the Parish Prison and Animal Control, but they do now!"
"Incorporation would allow St. George residents to control Planning & Zoning in their area."
"If St. George follows the lead of the City of Central and privatizes city government, the cost of running the City of St. George would be kept to a minimum, and there would be no reason to raise taxes."
The Republican Party said it will be working more closely with leaders of the St. George movement, in order to help get the proposal on the ballot, so that it can be more fully discussed by the electorate.

This weekend saw the "biggest gun control protest for a generation" – the #MarchForOurLives rally.
Across the world, thousands of protesters hit the streets to call for stricter controls on guns in the US following yet another mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida in February this year.
The shooting, which took place on Valentine's Day this year, saw seventeen students killed and seventeen wounded – one of the deadliest school shootings in history, but just one of many that have taken place in the US over the last few years.
The rally was full of intense emotional moments – particularly in the form of a speech from activist Emma Gonzalez, a survivor of the shooting, who delivered a speech listing the seventeen people killed at the school before remaining silent for six minutes and twenty seconds – the time the attack took.
Here are some of the most powerful placards from protests across the world.

For Paleo Fitness, Fast . . . Sometimes
The notion that you need to eat every couple of hours or so is one of the more fatuous delusions of conventional wisdom. No sound scientific evidence supports this idea.
The frequent feeding frenzy was popularized by bodybuilders sometime in the 1980s, when it was proper etiquette to work two twice-baked potatoes, 12 cheesy eggs, and a side of woolly mammoth into your system at any and all junctures.
How this madness ever became convention — or widely accepted as "the healthy thing to do" — or how people came to believe that it "speeds up your metabolism" is not known. Any study attempting to substantiate these claims rings up as "inconclusive," is as poorly planned, calculated, and executed as a family vacation, or proves the contrary.
And interestingly enough, a lot of evidence supports the contrary — that is, the benefits of fasting and infrequent feeding. By the way, fasting is any lengthy abstinence from food. It's not eating for a while — anywhere from 16 to 24 hours. Infrequent feeding is equally self-descriptive: Eat less often throughout the day, about two to three meals a day. (Four to six meals a day is considered frequent feeding.)
Fasting helps you lose weight (and keep it off)
Fasting is a safe, effective, and sustainable means for fat loss. Not eating will help you shed pounds. The daft notion of "starvation mode" has been carried out to truly preposterous lengths. True starvation mode — or true adaptive thermogenesis, to be more precise — is a long-term adaptation to severe caloric restriction.
An occasional break from eating, even a break of up to 24 hours, won't throw you into starvation mode; it won't "slow down your metabolism," and it won't make you gain weight.
To maintain order, all nature ebbs and flows: the tides, the moons, the seasons, and even the economy. In nature, cyclicality is normal, whereas fixity is really quite unnatural. You also need an ebb and flow between hunger and satiety to keep optimum health.
But conventional wisdom fears hunger like a hobgoblin. "Don't ever get hungry again," they say. "Keep the belly full," they say. Hunger is primal. Hunger is the hunt. It's motivation, activity to energy outflow. Get hungry!
Don't duck, dodge, or sidestep fasting. Embrace it! Yes, fasting will help you cut pounds, but there's more to it than that: Fasting has demonstrated to specifically increase lipolysis, or fat burning. Losing weight is all well and good, but losing fat specifically is all the better.
Furthermore, fasting has also been proven effective to prevent re-esterification — taking fat back in after you've kicked it out. Losing fat is all well and good, but keeping it off is all the better.
Fasting keeps you young
If fasting hasn't snagged your interest yet, here's another benefit: Fasting promotes longevity and keeps the mind biologically young. Eating accelerates the aging process — that is, it speeds up the rate things start to sour biologically. So, then, not eating may slow the aging process.
It was once believed that overall calorie restriction prolonged life, but now feeding frequency plays an equal, if not more influential, role in the mystery of aging — because caloric restriction and fasting have both been shown to promote successful brain aging. Successful aging is aging free of neurological disease, as far as practicable, that is.
Now it may be somewhat premature to cast blame, but evidence suggests that unchecked insulin levels (insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar and the primary nutrient transport hormone) may be mostly to blame for quickening the progression toward death and neurological disease.
For example, certain scientific circles now think that Alzheimer's may actually be a form of diabetes — some have even gone so far as to call Alzheimer's Type 3 diabetes. What they're saying is that Alzheimer's is brought about by a lack of insulin receptors or poor sensitivity of insulin receptors in the brain.
In short, Alzheimer's may in fact be a form of insulin resistance in the brain — or to be more direct, diabetes of the brain.
What does this have to do with fasting? Fasting improves insulin sensitivity. So the more you eat, the more insulin you secrete, and the less sensitive you become to it. You then have to secrete more insulin to get the job done.
The only known way to break this cycle is to reverse it — that is, to eat less frequently and, therefore, secrete less insulin. Ultimately, the less insulin you secrete, the better off you are altogether.
Another reason infrequent feeding may promote longevity is because fasting has been shown to increase natural growth hormone, which provides the following benefits:
More lean body mass
Less fat mass (boosts metabolism by about 15 percent)
Reduces stress and anxiety
Improves concentration
Enhances recovery from exercise
Antiaging effects
Growth hormone makes for good health, plain and simple. And fasting increases both growth hormone pulse and frequency. This means you get more growth hormone more often.

adjective: showing or caused by strong feelings or a strong belief
Passionate people are not hard to find. I find them everywhere doing various things in the name of passion; from sports to politics to the media to the entertainment industry. Some people do the craziest things citing passion. Others use it to inspire or motivate the rest of us. I suppose a normal dose of passion would be an oxymoron.
I have been passionate about many things over the years…family, education, work. But passion takes energy and because of that my passions wax and wane. I find as I get older I get more staunch in my beliefs and less passionate, which is sad. Passion not only takes enthusiasm, it also gives it. It takes on a life of it's own which can be very gratifying.
I have a son who is passionate about sports. He was born that way. He could throw a ball and climb a ladder long before he could walk. He literally has to be active. Growing up he has learned statistics and history and bios of players of many different sports. He speaks the language. I admire him for his passion although it's not something he is really conscious of, it is truly just who he is. He not only loves sports for the love of the game and for the competition, but he sees the potential they bring individuals and the hope and enthusiasm they bring for humanity. Sports unite us.
What would life be without passion? I want my kids to find their own passions, do work that intrigues them. "If you find your place in this world and do what you love, life will simply work out" I tell them, and I believe it whole heartily. I kind of like that about myself…admiring passion. Passionately.
"Passion is energy.
Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you."

Ferrari 458 Italia looks great with HRE Wheels
If you were to pick one of the latest Ferrari models that we like the best, the 458 Italia will be our choice. And we are 100% sure of that! But we have never imagined how cool that car can get when you add a new set of wheels, and more importantly the right photographer to take the pictures.
Do you know those moments when you discover another great look on the person you love, just because she or he sits in a different light? Well, this is exactly what Michael Burroughs from StanceWorks did with the 458 Italia. And, after watching his images over and over again, we came up to a conclusion: the 458 Italia is not just a car to drive, it is also a car to love! Do you think we exaggerate? We don't!
While about the 458 Italia you know everything you need to know, lets offer you some details about the new elements on the car: a new set of HRE Wheels 505 Vintage in Satin Bronze alloys. The wheels are made in aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum for high strength-to-weight ratio and they are offered with ARP high strength stainless-steel fasteners.

ARE graduates
Hi ARE graduates
I was wondering if you could share your experience after you have passed all ARE exams in relation to your professional practice?
Any immediate changes?
Thank you for those who share.
2 comments
Here's my experience and some extra thoughts, not sure if you had anything specific in mind:
- May 28 2018, finished my exams. No immediate change in my professional practice.
- November 12 2018, finished the AXP. Wait for NCARB and NC Board review.
- December 12, 2018: received my official license # to practice in NC. One of the partners and my ARE supervisor announce it to the rest of my office. I get back to work for the rest of the week :)
If you're curious about a pay raise, it's probably more helpful to ask someone you work with. Some firms do offer an automatic raise after you're licensed, but others (mine included) base your salary on your daily tasks and value you bring to the firm. Getting licensed didn't change anything for me day-to-day (so far), so I didn't get a raise. I expect it'll be a consideration for my review that's coming up, though.
I would also expect your daily tasks will stay pretty similar, but it would probably vary for each firm. I doubt you'll be signing/sealing drawings anytime soon, unless you're in a very small firm and there are other unique circumstances.
Depends on your position. I'm a project manager and working in a firm means working under someone elses license. Just wrapped up my exams and my only motivation was to do it for myself and my family.
Like Scott said it's great for review time and you will most likely take a more outward presence in the firm (attending meetings for new projects, interfacing with clients, ect...)

New characters that you may fall in love with before the end. Not really about football. As usual Pterry writes about you and me.
If you haven't tried him then you must.
Perhaps try this or maybe a witches one. The first few are a bit juvenile, the rest are enlightening.

WOW: Man puts 2,747 toothpicks in his beard
(CBS) - What do 3,000 toothpicks look like in someone's beard?
I don't know. Sadly, Youtube user beardpick didn't quite achieve his lofty goal, but he did manage to lodge a whopping 2,747 toothpicks into his facial hair, which you can see in the above video.
"Holy cow!" says a kid who just happens upon the experiment. Holy cow, indeed!
The result? It sort of looks like a porcupine attacked his face. And we here at The Feed will dutifully try to find you a video of a porcupine attacking someone's face to post in the near future for comparison purposes.

Some people are saying that this time, PETA's lost all credibility. They've crossed the line. I'd ask when PETA ever had any credibility?
It is not possible to take them seriously. They have to pretend that they're outraged by animal abuse so that they can raise lots of money from rich and flaky Hollywood liberals.
Their latest attack is on the White House for using real eggs in their Easter egg hunt:
Here's PETA's president's letter to Michelle Obama:
Dear Ms. Obama,
I'm writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 3 million members and supporters to urge you, with all due respect, to use reusable plastic or ceramic eggs instead of hard-boiled chicken eggs at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
For chickens on egg factory farms, Easter is not a time of renewal or joy. It can take up to 34 hours in typically hellish conditions for a hen to produce just one of the thousands of eggs slated to be used at the Easter Egg Roll. Furthermore, encouraging the consumption of cruelly sourced, unhealthy eggs is inconsistent with the goals of the "Let's Move!" initiative. Eggs are laden with saturated animal fat and cholesterol, which are primary contributors to some of our nation's top killers, including heart disease and strokes. One single large egg contains more cholesterol than two Big Mac sandwiches do. It's the wrong message to send to children.
Please take a few moments to visit http://peta.vg/1f28 to watch a special video message made for you by a group of kids who are hopping mad about animal abuse in the egg industry. I hope that after hearing their message, you will implement a new, humane tradition at the White House by using synthetic eggs that don't require any animal to suffer. Here's wishing you and your family a very happy Easter.
Respectfully yours,
Ingrid E. Newkirk President
"Hopping mad?" Did you catch that? See? Even the organization's president thinks this is all a joke. Even she can't take herself seriously.
And eggs are "laden with saturated animal fat and cholesterol?" She isn't one of those idiots who still thinks that eggs are bad for you, is she? I guess she probably eats plastic eggs for breakfast since they're "healthier" for you. I eat about 21 real chicken eggs (from Carlton Farms) per week, scrambled in butter. Both are saturated in fat and cholesterol. I wonder what she'd say about that.

Operating Effectively Across Cultures
Are you interested in and/or already working across cultures, either at home or abroad? This course will support you in operating more effectively across international and intercultural borders. You will familiarize yourself with culture as a concept, become more aware of cultural differences and you will acquire insights in how (cultural) assumptions have an impact on your own thinking and behaviour. Moreover, you will be able to use the Intercultural Readiness Check© to assess your current competencies in intercultural sensitivity, intercultural communication, building commitment and managing uncertainty. During the course you will reflect on these intercultural competences and strengthen them.
This summer Utrecht University offers you a challenging course on "Operating effectively across cultures". Therefore knowledge about cultural differences and intercultural competencies become even more crucial in our globalizing world. Performing well in one's own familiar context or culture doesn't automatically equal studying or working effectively in an international context or in a multicultural team. Even though we live and work in an increasingly globalized world, in which we seems to look, sound and think more and more alike, we are faced with deep layers of cultural differences. Not only on a national level, but also in many other, sub-cultural ways: e.g. origin, education, gender, age or sexual orientation.
Course leader
Jackie van der Kroft and Peter-Ben Smit
Target group
The course is aimed towards Master students and professionals with a Master degree in any field who are interested in working internationally or within a multicultural environment. Note that good verbal and written command of the English language is required.
Course aim
Throughout this theoretical and highly interactive course you learn how to become more effective in navigating these differences. Firstly, you will raise more awareness of different cultural perspectives and in addition, you learn how to position yourself in these intercultural dynamics. Furthermore, we stress the importance of communicating effectively and you will enhance these skills through practical exercises. We work with a wide range of learning methods, alternating theory with exercises, games, scenarios, group work, personal assessment, reflection and exchange. Part of the course is a one-day fieldwork exercise in which you will bring all what you have learnt into practice outside of the Campus.
Tags: communication skills, intercultural communication, intercultural competences, international, multicultural, diversity management, culture and cultural differences
Having finished this course you will be able to operate more effectively in different cultural contexts. More specifically, after the course you:
• Have discovered different frameworks to come to an understand of the concept of culture
• Are aware of your own (cultural) identities and how this has an influence on how you perceive others;
• Are able to signal and describe how cultural misinterpretations can arise (intercultural sensitivity);
• Are aware of the complexity of intercultural communication and discover different communication frameworks;
• Know about the effects of your cultural background and personal characteristics on communication;
• Learned about and are able to vary in communication styles according to the cultural context, e.g. to give and receive feedback in a culturally sensitive way (intercultural communication);
• Learned different approaches in dealing with (cultural) differences
• Know about the importance of investing in relationships and networks and developing win-win solutions (building commitment)
• Are aware of the potential of cultural diversity to innovation and learning (managing uncertainty);
• Have gained in-depth understanding of your own cross-cultural qualities, possible pitfalls and ways to enhance your intercultural competences in your own international or intercultural work environment.

Everyone says that sweating is good because it helps to regulate your body temperature and cool it down. However, sweating is also every dancer's nightmare. You look like a million dollar bill before getting onto the dance but just a few steps later, your perfect look is gone as if you just had a shower. Or, you're worried so much and your hands get very sweaty so instead of enjoying the party, you're just praying that noone will mind it. Sounds familiar?
Well, sweating is not a bad thing but can be embarrassing. I sweat a lot so throughout my dancing career I had to find ways to minimize it or mask it. Here is what I did:
Take breaks
If you're at a social dance party, take a break after every 2 dances. Go out, refresh so every time you step back on the dance floor, you're not out of breath or dripping in sweat. Always looking presentable and fresh.
Same applies when you're at a competition. Make sure you that in between dances, you keep reapplying your make up to ALWAYS look your best!
You can get a small portable, battery-operated fan. It saved me many times (and also lots of people were borrowing it from me). Here is one you can get from Amazon- click HERE. It's also great for ladies to use under the ballroom dresses which have lots of layers.
Spare shirt
When you dance at a comp or go out to a social party, bring a spare shirt with you so when you feel drenched, just change it. 100% lightweight cotton is the most breathable fabric, so try to get your shirts made of that. However, not many dance outfits are made of cotton, so it's good to have spare ones.
Have you ever noticed that when your feet are cold, the rest of the body cools down too. So in between rounds at a dance competition, take your shoes off and put your feet on a cold surface.
Pocket a handkerchief
Every dancer should have a small towel or a handkerchief with them. Dabbing will keep most of your make up on, so after using it, make sure you retouch your face.
Use your energy wisely
At a social dance party, don't go wild and throw all the most difficult lines or stretches- it will get you exhausted fairly quickly. Instead just relax and dance socially.
Read my blog post on "How to act like a pro at a social dance party"
Medicated antiperspirant
If you feel your sweating is really out of hands and excessive, consider using roll on antiperspirant with aluminium chloride (aluminium chloride hexahydrate). It's used for over sweating of palms, feet or armpits. You can buy it in a pharmacy and it's very inexpensive. It works overnight so the next morning you simply don't sweat anymore- it's done wonders to many people I recommended it to, including myself.
Drink a lot of water
It's obvious that when you sweat a lot, you should keep rehydrating your body with water. What it does, it will make your sweat more dilute and it will smell a lot less or not at all. Your partner may not mind the sweat, but they may not be so keen on a strong smell.
In summary, some people sweat more than others and when you apply the tips I described, sweating should be much less of a problem. Now you can focus on your dancing rather than worrying about sweating. Don't be embarrassed and never let it stop you from doing what you love!
What do you do to reduce sweating and look great at a dance competition or social party? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

*We are on our way back home and Tim and I both agree...no more road trips for a while!!! Well, not long ones, anyway. It's just too hard on Tara-poo. She was such perfect little traveller on the way there but then...coming back, it was all too much and she started wiggin' out! Totally expected and surprised it didn't happen sooner! We are stopping every few hours and getting her out playing and running around, singing nursery rhymes in the car etc. We were going to do Disney on the way back but...that's a separate trip! Now...why is the drive back sooooo much longer???
(March AFB)
*this road trip has really been a turning point for me in so many ways. Just a week ago, I was feeling tired, uninspired and ...well, stale! But there is just something about travelling that seems to open up places inside of us that, while they may have been there all along, get ignited by stepping outside our worlds of routine.
(my two fave people on the planet!)
* marriage is difficult! Even when you are with the right person. Even when you are the right person. There are so many levels of intimacy and trust, communication and closeness. After 5 years...there is a real deepening of our marriage, love and friendship and family but...it takes work and heart and commitment.
(Diego Rivera, The Flower Carrier, SFMOMA)
*I have become so interested in altered books, assemblage and ...art journaling. I strongly feel a need to experiment, play, learn. My art wants to change too... I don't know where it wants to go...but I am listening. I want to tell the deep stories of my heart, journey wide and deep within mySELF and find my best self while still honoring all my ugly pieces. I don't have to discard them or pretend that they aren't there...these pieces of fear, insecurity, shame, inadequacies...I want to honor and accept them.
*my heart is full...with gratitude, thanks and love

Fannie Mae (FNM) And Freddie Mac (FRE) May Take Sharedholers UnderMarch 12, 2008 by Douglas A. McIntyre
Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) has a market cap of about $12 billion. At Fannie Mae (NYSE: FNM) that number is closer to $22 billion. Both company's stocks are down about 70% from their 52-week highs. The firms suffer from the same subprime-related products that have driven a number of money center banks and big brokerage firms into lamentable shape.
Now, a number of experts think that the growing housing crisis may cause more losses at the two quasi-mortgage agencies. That means they may have to raise more capital.
According to The Wall Street Journal "To put the market's balance-sheet fears to rest, Fannie and Freddie each may have to issue in excess of $10 billion of new stock this year." That is the tip of the iceberg. The real question is whether they will have to raise additional capital if the housing crisis accelerates in the second half of the year.
At $20, Freddie Mac has already taken a haircut which has severed its neck. A big capital infusion could take the stock below $10. If Wall St. looks at the housing and subprime markets as a falling knife, the FRE shares could move down to $5. Their 52-week high is $68.12.

Regular Hours
Summer Hours (May 22 - September 4, 2020)
Youth Safety
Our Ongoing Commitment to Keeping Kids Safe
Bullying Awareness
The idea that a Scout should treat others as he or she wants to be treated—a Scout is kind—is woven throughout the programs and literature of the Boy Scouts of America. When a Scout follows the principles of the Scout Oath and Scout Law, bullying and hazing situations should never occur.
We encourage all of our Cub Scout Packs to participate in the BSA Adopt a School program to help build, maintain and strengthen relationships with the local elementary school.
As schools across the country continue to limit distribution of information about Scouting to students, it is important that we have good relationships with school principals, school board members and other educators. Strong relationships may mean the difference in being able to communicate what Scouting offers for familes.
Let us know you are interested in Scouts BSA for girls
If you have a daughter that would be interested in participating in Scouts BSA or would like to help organize a troop in your area, let us know.
Webelos to Scout Transition
Webelos can move from the Cub Scouting program to the Scouts BSA when they meet these joining requirements:
Visit the Webelos to Scout Transition page for more information.
Popcorn Sale officially started August 1!
See popcorn page for more details.
Reports Required for Rank Advancements
This is a reminder to Scouting leaders that Advancement Report forms are required to purchase rank advancements in the Scout Shops.
If your unit is using ScoutBook (which we encourage all packs and troops to use), or Internet Advancement (which will be phased out June 10, 2019), you can print the report directly from your computer. The report must be turned in when rank advancements are purchased.
The alternative to the computer reports is manually completing the form (available at www.nlcbsa.org/advancement)
Without these reports, the council may not be able to have accurate records of what the Scouts have earned. This is especially important for the Scouts as the move through the program as dates of ranks earned and time requirements require accurate records.
When you send someone to the Scout Shop to pick up awards, make sure the bring along the Advancement report!

Our oceans are drowning in plastic. The pollution of single-use plastics is one of the hottest topics on online forums, blogs and social media posts these days. One company in Mallorca, Bonnie Lass Charters, has made it their aim this summer to reduce single-use plastics on board their boats.
The Mediterranean Sea has one of the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world, a circumstance that Roo and Pete, owners of Bonnie Lass Charters, are determined to fight. In order to do that, they've taken a list of measures including abolishing the use of single-use plastic bottles on their boats from March 2018. They will also be involved in local beach cleans with Asociación Ondine, a non-profit that wants to recover the rich biodiversity of the Mediterranean with which they have been collaborating for years. Bonnie Lass will participate in their Dos Manos ("Two Hands") beach clean-ups which are organised once a month and include underwater clean-ups.
They have also turned their office in Port de Sóller into an environmentally-friendly hub. They now boast a Cleanwave Refill Centre where you can fill up your reusable bottles with clean, drinkable water free of charge - only in the Balearics, 1.5 million plastic bottles are used every day. They have also installed a Viveco outlet and pick-up point, offering sustainable, functional (and stylish!) alternatives to everyday products including wheat drinking straws, bamboo cutlery, organic cosmetics and stainless steel containers.
