A Little Nutty - Scientology: Busted; Religion: Plausible
Jeremy - 05/02/2008
Chances are you have seen people writing off all religions, or better yet, anyone who believes in any religion based on the faulty premise that all religions are created equal.

The Court of Public Opinion

Before you scold the "Court of Public Opinion" stop to consider that the public isn't bound by the same burden of proof that the normal court system has to abide by, nor should we be.

The Big Ten Conference announced the conference slate for the upcoming season for both men's and women's. Purdue Women's Basketball is heading into a season of uncertainty, nerves and excitement all rolled into one.
Versyp, Gearlds and the crew now have their full schedule locked and loaded for the 2021-22 season. Out of the 30 game slate, Purdue will host 16 games inside Mackey Arena in total.
The home schedule for the revamped Boilers includes: Ohio State, Rutgers, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State, Illinois and Wisconsin in that order.
On the flip side, Purdue will travel to Maryland, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, Indiana, Rutgers and Northwestern.
This season's home-and-away splits feature Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern and Rutgers. Single play opponents will be Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Iowa and Minnesota.
The @B1Gwbball Schedule is set ‼— Purdue Women's Basketball (@PurdueWBB) September 8, 2021
Games. at Mackey. B1G Season
- https://t.co/I3eBR88BsD
A few things to point out about the Boilermakers path to March Madness this season:
- Quite possibly the toughest stretch for Purdue will come in mid-January with three straights contests against Michigan State, Iowa and Indiana who all figure to be ranked coming into the season.
- Drawing Illinois and Wisconsin as home-and-away splits could be huge to steal three or four conference wins. Illinois and Wisconsin were right at the bottom of the conference last season and do not figure to have drastic changes this year.
- The Big Ten is stacked as always. Even with games against lower competition, there are no givens with the level of basketball being played in the Big Ten. Purdue will have to prove themselves day in and day out if they want to have a successful season.
Fans will be anxious to see how the new look Purdue Boilermakers fare this season amidst massive changes within the program.

Restrictions not fully lifted until at least 19 July
Boris Johnson has announced that so-called "Freedom Day" has been delayed by four weeks.
Mr Johnson said: "As we have always known this opening up has inevitably been accompanied by more infection and more hospitalisation."
"We must learn to live with it."
I am confident we will not need any more than four weeks
It is expected that England will move to Step 4 on 19 July, though the data will be reviewed after two weeks in case the risks have reduced. The Government will continue to monitor the data and the move to Step 4 will be confirmed one week in advance.
England was due to move to Step 4 of the Government's roadmap out of lockdown on 21 June, when venues and events would be allowed to operate without capacity limits and the cap on guests at weddings would be lifted.
Now, some theatrical performances and sports events pilots will still go ahead and weddings and funerals may go ahead if social distancing is in place.
A limited series of pilot events will take place to produce additional evidence on reopening events safely. Attendees will need to show proof of vaccination or a recent negative test.
This will include some UEFA EURO 2020 matches at Wembley and a small number of other sports, arts and music performances. The full list of pilots, and further details about the events, will be announced shortly.
Hospitality has been the hardest hit during the crisis, losing more than £87bn in sales and leaving many businesses crippled by debt. In current circumstances, takings remain down 42% on what could have been expected. It has been predicted that a four-week delay to restrictions lifting will cost the sector around £3 billion in sales.
Before tonight's announcement, HospitalityUK CEO Kate Nicholls said: "Businesses need a swift, publicly-stated commitment that such support will be in place in the event of any delays, giving them much-needed reassurance after more than 15 months of closure and severely disrupted trading. Hospitality is desperate to get back to what it does best and can play a key role in the economic recovery of the UK - but only if it is given permission to trade and proper support."
I've had endless calls and messages from operators in the last 24hrs.
Fearful, anxious, at their wits end.
These "leaks" and "rumours" from the Government, are just despicable.
The toll on peoples mental health is at tipping point.
— Sacha Lord (@Sacha_Lord) June 12, 2021
There has been much criticism of the lack of preparation time for businesses and unclear communication from the Government.
Manchester night-time economy advisor Sacha Lord said: "One in four hospitality business are still shut.. Up until about four days ago the Prime Minister himself was saying he saw nothing in the data so businesses have been gearing up to reopen on the 21st. They've been ordering stock, they've been bringing staff off furlough. And then to leak something for the last three days... that is not the way to govern, that is not leadership."
Mr Lord has repeatedly called on the Government to allow hospitality to reopen fully as soon as possible.
So, a four week delay. Fair enough to err on the side of caution after previous recklessness, but there must be consequences for those responsible for the explosion of the Delta variant which has made this necessary, and further support for the people and businesses now affected.
— Thom Hetherington (@ThomHetheringto) June 14, 2021
Nightclubs react
The Night Time Industries Association commented that the delay to the roadmap is "devastating" and will "drive confidence in the sector to a new low".
Michael Kill, chief executive of NTIA, said: "This is a hugely devastating blow for the very industries that have been hardest hit by this pandemic; in a very real sense, the Prime Minister has 'switched the lights off' for an entire sector.
"Many businesses have not survived this pandemic and others are on a financial cliff-edge, unable to operate viably. Hundreds of thousands of jobs have already been lost, a huge pool of creative talent has been swept away, and we have been left to suffer extreme financial hardship.
"This delay will drive confidence in the sector to a new low, culminating in more of our workforce being forced to leave the industry, and customers, who have been starved of social engagement, attending illegal unregulated events in place of businesses that are well-operated, licensed and regulated."
This is wrong. If you are extending the restrictions, you should extend business support, particularly for those most affected. Simple as that. https://t.co/n2Yf4Bl0Sz
— Andy Burnham (@AndyBurnhamGM) June 14, 2021
Support for hospitality
Much of the support that is keeping many businesses alive is due to run out soon. For example, rent and debt moratoria run out on 1 July and the Government has not yet said that these will be extended. Without these guarantees, many businesses will not be able to continue.
David Fox of Tampopo told Confidentials: "Hospitality employs nearly 3 million people; a lot of whom the education system hasn't worked for. We provide a really important route to long-term employment and equip them with life skills they can use within hospitality or any other sector. Those people have been in limbo for a year. What we need is sustained long term support."
Sacha Lord said in a tweet: "Today, the Chancellor MUST come out and agree to extend the support package for Hospitality. If he doesn't, he will be responsible for many more businesses closing and job losses, across the whole of the UK."
The furlough scheme - which pays 80% of employees' wages - was extended until the end of September in the hope that many jobs could be retained. Businesses will start to contribute towards furlough as they reopen, starting with 10% in July, then 20% in August and September.
The 5% reduced rate of VAT was be extended for six months to 30 September.
Well, we may not be able to dance around our tables for an extra four weeks now, but everything else remains the same, with the usual world class street food, drink and table service available every day and night down the Hatch 🙌
It's frustrating, but the end is still in sight! pic.twitter.com/7pteS554KE
— Hatch (@Hatch_MCR) June 14, 2021
Mr Johnson did however sound a note of optimism regarding the new date: "As things stand – and on the basis of the evidence I can see right now – I am confident we will not need any more than four weeks and we won't need to go beyond July 19. It is unmistakably clear the vaccines are working and the sheer scale of the vaccine roll-out has made our position incomparably better than in previous waves."

There will be a four-week pause at Step 3. Step 3 restrictions remain in place, and you should follow the guidance on what you can and cannot do. It is expected that England will move to Step 4 on 19 July, though the data will be reviewed after 2 weeks in case the risks have reduced.
You can socialise indoors in a group of up to 6 people or 2 households, including for overnight stays. Up to 30 people can meet outside. Pubs, theatres and other venues can open indoors. Hotels, hostels and B&Bs can open for people on holiday. Read the guidance on what you can do.

Purple Glaze RibsSeptember 24, 2017
If you like sweet and tangy barbecue, you just might want to give this purple glaze sauce a try. I thought I would change it up just a bit today, so in addition to marinading the ribs in beer and spices before smoking, I'm topping these baby back pork ribs with a special glaze based off of a fantastic recipe that my wife uses for her famous slow cooker meatballs. I'm calling them Purple Glaze Ribs. Man… I love smoking ribs.
There are several different ways to cook these ribs, but i am going to show you how I did it today, and then I will give you a few alternate methods that will also work, at the bottom of the page.
For these Purple Glaze Ribs you will need:
3-4 lbs of baby back ribs
Water and Wood for the smoker (Apple)
2-3 cans of Beer
4 ounces pork rub spices … I bet you can guess what I used. 😉 (make sure they contain onion and garlic)
1 container large enough to hold the ribs
(I used an aluminum pan, but a large zip-lock type freezer bag works great also)
1 Cup Grape Jelly
1 Cup Chili Sauce
2 Tbs Brown Sugar
1 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbs Garlic (minced)
1 Tbs Lime Juice
1 Tbs Hot Sauce
1) If we want these purple glaze ribs to be truly amazing, we first want to prep our ribs by removing the membrane.
Tip: Removing the Membrane: Rinse the ribs in some cold water. Flip the ribs over so the bottom of the rack is facing up. Use a dull butter knife and insert it right below the hazy white membrane covering the entire bottom of the ribs. Wiggle the knife around a little bit to loosen the membrane. In your other hand, grab the membrane with a few dry paper towels, and once you get a solid grip on it, pull it off the entire bottom of the rack.
2) Season pork ribs heavily with spices coating both sides completely.
3) Add beer! Make sure that your ribs are submerged at least half way. I had to use about 4 cans of beer here.
4) Cover and allow to marinade for at least an 1-2 hours at room temperature (if leaving over night… refrigerate then remove from cooler for the last 1-2 hours)
5) While you are waiting, prep your purple glaze by placing all the ingredients (grape jelly, brown sugar, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, lime juice and hot sauce) into a bowl and mix well.
6) Prep your smoker with water and (apple) wood. We are going to want to smoke low and slow. We are going to use the 2:2:1 method on these. That means 2 hours directly on the smoker grate, then 2 hours wrapped in foil, then 1 hour unwrapped.
7) Smoke the ribs directly on the smoker grate for two hours at 220 F.
8) Remove from smoker. Mop on your purple glaze sauce covering the entire surface of the meat… wrap the ribs in foil return to smoker to continue cooking for two more hours at 220 F
9) Remove foil. Mop on a fresh thick layer of purple glaze sauce. Smoke (uncovered) for an additional hour at same temp.
10) Near the end of this final hour, pick up the ribs using BBQ gloves or tongs and give them a slight "bend." If the ribs tear just a little between the bones, they are ready to come out of the smoker. If the ribs refuse to tear at all, you will need some more time. Cooked ribs can range anywhere from very tough to overly tender ("fall off the bone"). Your preference will probably be somewhere in between.

Intro to my Husband
Meet Chris, everyone!
If you've seen some of my catch up entries, you already know we've been friends for more than 15 years. You know he's handsome, you know he's brilliant, and you know he's great with the boys.
He's also a car enthusiast, knows more about various aircraft than the whole of Boeing, and could probably beat MacGyver at MacGyvering. *Grin*
He's always been ridiculously intelligent. His childhood was spent tinkering with everything thanks to his parents who not only encouraged it, but took him to workshops and programs that would actively teach him how! He's a natural sponge for information and somehow keeps it all pristinely locked away for recall at a moment's notice.
Long before we ever made googly eyes at one another, we engaged in the most entertaining, thought-provoking conversations. While the rest of the group would drift into debates about comic characters or video games, we'd be off into the weeds discussing politics, social constructs and philosophy. We've always enjoyed deep conversations with one another, and somehow there's always new fodder for us to attack.
Since pairing ourselves up, we routinely watch programming that grapples with complex problems or interesting historical quandaries. We'll share current events, play devil's advocate, or listen to interviews with prominent philosophical contemporaries. I'll ask an outlandish question that forces him to pull the brakes and really yank at the underpinnings of his belief set, and then he'll drop an atom bomb into my lap that has me spiraling off into tangents for DAYS. Through it all, we learn, we laugh, and we grow in our understanding of the world, each other, and ourselves.
I cannot overstate how much I appreciate that intellectual stimulation.
Then there's his natural propensity to fix everything... he's an engineer by trade, so he is a professional (and highly skilled) problem solver. Whether the problem is mechanical in nature (fixing a broken appliance) or situational (the kids aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing), he's able to effectively diagnose it and figure out efficient steps that rectify whatever is amiss.
He also relishes his role as step-father. Since signing on, he's put so much time, thought and energy into parenting them properly. Just last night, we had a talk about Vincent's unique challenges, specifically stemming from a marked increase in verbal/auditory stimming. He's invested in helping them both succeed as men, and that manifests in a million different ways.
Last weekend, he let Nate help him build a shed in the backyard which made Nate swear he was a professional architect. Ha ha! He's so patient with them, but isn't afraid to come down hard if necessary to keep them on the straight and narrow. I take so much comfort in him as their role model for masculinity. I worried so much for their prospects as adult men before Chris arrived, but now that he's taken on the task of showing them what a true man looks like, I feel genuine relief for their futures.
He is a true partner. I swear he's more supportive of me than I am 90% of the time! Whether it's getting off the couch to help me up while I'm a pregnant turtle, offering to pick up groceries to knock something off my to-do list, or sneaking out in the morning (and thus, forgoing the morning coffee and lunch I'd make for him) so I can catch up on sleep, he is outlandishly thoughtful. Just as I recognize all that he does for our family, he recognizes all I do by not waiting for me to ask for help but offering it when he sees the opportunity present itself.
My favorite is him not complaining when I order out these days because I can't stand to be near an oven. Uuuuugh, I'm really looking forward to having Nico OUTSIDE of me...
Anyway, I could wax on forever about how wonderful he is. It still amazes me that we ended up together. A couple days ago, I was smiling up at him like an idiot and he laughed asking, "What?"
I answered, "If you'd have told me that you and I would end up together, I would've laughed you off a cliff. I sometimes still can't believe it. It's insane." He agreed. It really is insane when you think about it. But when has God ever made a lick of sense to us mere mortals?
That said, I'm genuinely glad God's the One in control, because there's no better husband, father, or friend that I could have chosen for myself and my children. I always go back to that photo I shared in this entry about God banishing fear:
It still rings 1,000% true. I was holding a tattered, germ-ridden teddy bear and God was holding Chris behind His back. Ha ha! Luckily, I was blessed with the gift of Faith and an unshakable trust in God's desire to care for each of us individually, so I had no real problem handing over the trash bear. I just had no idea that the prize bear was someone I already loved and respected so much.
So that's Chris in a large nutshell. At 6'4" and a delicious amount of muscle, a large nutshell is the only one I can fit him in. *Grin*
Trust God, friends. I cannot emphasize that enough. If you learn nothing else from my story, learn this: the same God who cares for the birds in the sky and the flowers of the field cares infinitely more about you than those birds and flowers (Matt 6:26-30). He cares so much that He came to dwell among us, taking on our humanity to elevate it to the Divine. He wants your joy and happiness and cannot be outdone in love. So love Him, trust Him, and recognize that short-term pain falls away and becomes background noise as the life He created you for unfurls into eternity.
He's got you, friend. He's got you.
My 20/20 on 2020
While I recognize 2020 was a challenging and frustrating year for so many people, I am grateful that it turned out to be a year of incredible blessings for my family and I.
Chris and I kicked off the New Year together. He was still living in Kansas, and hadn't had any job offers in the area. We were able to celebrate Christmas with the boys and welcome 2020 with hopeful expectation.
He was to begin as soon as possible!
The biggest hurdle of all had finally been overcome. He had been searching for so long to find something suitable back home, and finally, God had opened the door, just as I knew He would.
When he flew back home, we had a plan in place that would get him home in time to start his new job in April.
Vince and Nate were doing so well, too! Vince was excelling in 4th grade and Nate was growing by leaps and bounds. While they can certainly bicker, they're usually pretty good together. Nate still worships Vince and Vince enjoys lording around his baby brother. We had all settled nicely into our new house and everyone was excited for Chris to finally move home for good, especially because Chris was such a fun playmate for them!
When March arrived, the first inklings of COVID-19 were starting to make their way to us. My wonderful friend (and then-boss) started warning me against traveling out of state. My brother was SUPER adamant about me not flying down to Kansas to then drive through multiple states to get him home. It seemed like the entire world had suddenly gone crazy.
There was *no way* I was going to leave Chris stranded in Kansas when we FINALLY had the ability to get him home. I was on pins and needles the week leading up to my flight because some airlines were closing, some states were shutting down, etc.
Finally, I was able to board and get to Kansas. We spent a few days packing, and then began our 1,200 mile road trip home. Knowing we'd need to have things to look forward to, I planned a few socially safe excursions between Kansas and New Jersey:
We split the drive over three days. We left after having breakfast on Saturday morning, stopping for fuel every 2.5 hours or so. While I had been worried an 18 hour drive might be daunting, all the excursions helped give us quirky fun to break it all up. The drive blew by, and before we knew it, we were HOME.
That meant we FINALLY got to build out the guitar wall I had devised the moment I stepped foot into the new house... we put it together that weekend and I am STILL over the moon for it, much like everyone else who has come through our door since!
April saw the lockdown was in full swing. It appears we got him home just in time! However, both of us are considered essential workers, so we were both going into the office regularly. Vince had swapped to remote learning. Nate was home for about 2 months before the state began re-allowing daycares to reopen. In that time, he really started to struggle. My little extrovert was beside himself not having his little peers to play with daily. While Vince LOVED not having to go into school every day, Nate was genuinely getting depressed. The day he was finally allowed back into daycare, he cried. He actually cried tears of joy because he missed everyone so much.
In the meantime, though, we did what we could to give them things to look forward to. We joined a few car parades, went up to do a drive-by of Mom-Mom's house, Uncle Ray's house and Auntie Mary's house, learned how to polish gemstones, make Jell-o and build AMAZING forts. We even set up a pinata in the backyard for them to take their frustrations out on!
All this time, Chris and I were supposed to be planning our wedding. We had sent out invitations, chose menus, and my gorgeous dress (which will get its own post) had arrived. Things were in the air due to COVID, and we were told multiple times (by many, many people) to just postpone until things returned to normal. There's no way, after all, we'd be able to make it happen with so many restrictions.
Telling me I can't do something is pretty much a guaranteed way of ensuring it gets done because I'm a spiteful sonofagun who is creative, capable, and hella good at talking people into following my lead. I convinced the pastor to allow us to have the service by agreeing to cut our numbers to match the allotted funeral capacities (10 people). I then sorted things out with the county in order to get us virtually approved for licensing (which was tricky since Chris' license was still listed as out-of-state due to DMVs being closed).
Finally, we let everyone know that we were downgrading the ceremony and reception to match capacity. I organized a videographer to be present to stream the ceremony live so that those who could not be present could still feel as though they were. I also made sure to livestream throughout the day via social media to give people a glimpse into the fun!
All in all, it was PERFECT. Everything- every single thing- was utter perfection. The weather, the people, the love... God is so good, people. Just trust Him; He always provides a way.
From there, we found ourselves in the middle of summer. Restrictions were beginning to ease, and the boys were back to enjoying their peers in camp (for Vince) and daycare (for Nate). Chris was keeping them entertained and learning with his many hands-on science projects. Rockets, experiments with arduinos, and Nerf wars were becoming commonplace. It was and is so gratifying for me to see them so enamored by Chris. Likewise, he relishes their affection and enjoys the opportunity to help them learn and grow.
When the school year arrived, I was proud of the diocesan schools for making the decision to reopen with safety protocols in place. Nate had graduated from daycare and started as a kindergartener which was great for Vince. He was excited to show Nate around and dutifully took him to his classroom every day. He even began enjoying aftercare now that he had his brother to play with.
As for me, I work in nonprofit Development. My biggest source of fundraising revenue tends to be from in-person events. With COVID throwing a wrench into that, I was forced to get super creative in terms of meeting financial goals with my hands and both feet tied behind my back. That said, God is good and once again provided the way. Chris taught me how to cut videos together, I took several virtual seminars, and applied for every grant under the sun. Not only did I end up meeting all the financial goals of my nonprofit, I ended up exceeding expectations. Chris was doing stellar in his job and I was blossoming as well!
Again, God is good!
Unfortunately, we were not immune to tragedy.
Chris' wonderful father, Peter, passed away after a brief fight with cancer. He had begun complaining of pain, and by the time doctors were able to sort it out, it had spread too far.
Before he passed away, however, God granted Chris the very special grace of being able to share news with him. In early August, we discovered that we were going to be welcoming a grandchild for them. Being able to share that he was to be a grandfather... I am so grateful that Chris had that opportunity.
Peter is deeply missed, most especially by his wife of almost 50 years, Diana. It was terribly hard for her and for Chris to face the holidays without him this year, so we did what we could to lighten the burden.
So yes, dear readers, I am once more expecting a little miracle. Vincent and Nate were VERY excited to learn that they'd have a new addition to the pack. Vince had his heart set on a sister, and Nate didn't care what the baby turned out to be because he's just thrilled he's not the youngest anymore. However, we found out that we were expecting a little boy who we decided to name "Dominic." We're already calling him "Nico" for short, and we are over the moon with anticipation for this little munchkin to arrive. And because God's awesome like that, He's finally giving me my May baby!
Christmas rolled around and while it was subdued, it was still blessed. We trimmed the tree, had fun decorating special presents for family, and built gingerbread houses and ate cookies. So many cookies. We were able to attend Mass on Christmas Day, and while I've been exhausted on account of pregnancy, I've had Chris to help with... everything.
My husband... a true and unparalleled partner in all the ways. I am so beyond blessed I'm honestly at a loss as to how any of this fell into my lap.
So that's my 20/20 on 2020. Were there challenges? Sure. But overall, we had so very much to be thankful for. The new life growing within me is proof enough to be optimistic for what tomorrow brings. In all things, God is good.
Positive Masculinity
Originally posted on June 21, 2018 via P&P.
I've just been doing a lot of thinking about male-female interactions and how I'm able to avoid negative ones and bolster positive ones, especially since I've gotta lay a firm foundation of expectations for Vince and Nate.
This piece is going to go against the grain for my more "feminist" friends out there, but hear me out. A lot of the things women love about their men is (*gasp* horror of horrors) their masculinity.
These are actual quotes pulled from the thread responding to the post above:
And the list goes on. Unsurprisingly, no one said "I love when my man gossips with me like my girlfriends do" or "I find it so sexy when he gets mani-pedis with me" or "My knees get weak when he slams back an appletini."
Very clearly, the 6,000+ women who responded appreciate their men for traditionally gender-specific traits. It made me thoroughly happy to read this list, because it gave me hope that women haven't entirely lost their marbles yet. We are still yearning for strong, masculine men and haven't wholly discarded our appreciation for that which they have to offer.
Hopefully that means we're raising young women to appreciate those traits, too. I intend to raise my boys into strong, masculine men and I pray they'll be blessed to find feminine women who recognize their own special talents and how they complement those brought to the table by Vince and Nate.

Release date: 23rd January 2014
Director: Christopher B. Landon
Cast: Andrew Jacobs, Richard Cabral, Gabrielle Walsh, Carlos Pratts
Classification: MA15+ (Strong Coarse Language and Supernatural Themes)
Review by Peter Gray
I've had a somewhat love/hate relationship with the 'Paranormal Activty' series since they began in 2007. The original was quite a fun, and at times thrilling, experiment in the found footage genre whilst the third entry managed to inject a much needed horror boost into proceedings following a disappointing sequel. 2012's 'Paranormal Activity 4', widely considered the worst of the series, was indeed a pathetic cash-in that added next to nothing to the overall arc, and certainly brought about a cautiousness regarding furthering films.
Whilst 'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones' is far from a worthy film, as far as this series goes it's actually quite decent. Considered a "side-quel" (hence the reason it isn't titled 'Paranormal Activity 5'), 'The Marked Ones' seems to be targeting the Latino market with its primarily Spanish cast taking the focus away from the original family featured in the preceding films. Teenager Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) and his buddy Arturo (Richard Cabral) are the protagonists this time with the celebration of Jesse's high school graduation kicking events off. Jesse appears to be a likeable enough guy, trying to live a life on the straight and narrow despite the gang-activities that plague his neighbourhood. A lot of the initial scenes between Jesse and Arturo are surprisingly (intentionally) funny as they banter off each other, try to pick up girls, and dote on Jesse's grandmother, even going so far as to down tequila shots with her in one of their more amusing moments. Of course carrying a camera around for all of this makes no sense, especially towards the climax of the film, but where would these films be if logical thinking was a requirement?
Despite there being more laughs than one might expect in a found-footage horror film, 'The Marked Ones' does its best to scare its audience managing to avoid the recycled tactics of the series where people review a specific tape and simply ask "what's that?". The bumps and moans that take place in the darkness are still used to varied effect but when Jesse's inevitable possession kicks in, the movie almost turns into a horror movie version of 'Chronicle' as he starts to enjoy the "perks" of being haunted. Initially enjoying bouts of super-strength, Jesse eventually starts to be taken over and it's here the film is marked with a rather dark, violent touch, something relatively foreign to the series at this point. The final scene, though not particularly inspiring or even that scary, at least has a great deal of energy behind it, something that seemed lacking in the previous films.
If you're a fan of the series 'The Marked Ones' is very much a no-brainer as it's a nice enough rebound from the horrid fourth entry, but if you've never given the films much thought there's nothing here of worth to change your mind. The unknown cast do better than one might expect, especially given the type of film they're involved in, and there are some neat set pieces throughout but as the found footage gimmick continues to tire, 'The Marked Ones' doesn't quite hold enough to restore faith in a series that seems to be dwindling in rapid succession.
My rating 2.5/5 (Gets marks for effort)

In Throne: Kingdom at War, Assailants are special opponents that invade your Kingdom. In this article, read how to attack them and what you can get for doing so.
How to fight the Assailants in Throne: Kingdom at War
In Throne: Kingdom at War, killing Assailants is the prerogative of your Hero or your Hero's Double. The Hero must have enough Stamina to attack them.
Assailants can be from level 1 to 6. The higher the invaders' level, the more health they have and the more Stamina the Hero spends to defeat them. However, battling against strong opponents will bring your defender more Experience and you will earn additional points in Tournaments.
Do you want to get a valuable reward? Inflict the maximum damage on your opponent! To do so, during the course of an hour, send your Hero to attack the same enemy, use Boosts, upgrade your Hero's Skills in the Against Assailants category, and conduct Studies.
Remember: you can only send your Hero to fight an Assailant if the necessary Studies have been conducted. For example, the "Unlock Assailants I" Study allows you to fight level 1 enemies.
How to find Assailants
In Throne: Kingdom at War, Assailants can be found on the Kingdom map. The weaker enemies are along the edges of the playing field, while the strongest enemies are in the center of the map and in the territory of the Dark Forest. In addition, you will encounter Alpha Assailants in the vicinity of the Eternal Stronghold. Battling these Assailants demands extremely thorough preparation, since they are very tough and can withstand the Hero's attacks for a long time.
The Outpost allows you to find out what opponents are around your Town and how many of them there are. Select it, then go the Watchman tab, and tap the line you need in the drop-down list.
The reward for fighting an Assailant
In Throne: Kingdom at War, Assailant drops are the valuable reward that you receive for attacking these enemies. You can get VIP points, Gold, resources, jewels, and much more. The most prized drops are the Assailant materials that are needed to craft equipment with increased bonuses.
Alpha Assailants are the strongest opponents in Throne: Kingdom at War. For fighting them, you can get the materials of the four Assailants. In addition, the maximum Experience and number of points in Tournaments are awarded for attacking them. Apply this knowledge, and you will have an advantage in the game!
After your Hero destroys the invader, the Assailant's Camp will appear. There, you can obtain resources, as well as the materials of the defeated foe. In Throne: Kingdom at War, an Assailant's Camp is captured in the same way as the other resource locations – by sending troops there.
Challenge unwelcome visitors to Amaria!

It's the season of gratitude! In honor of Thanksgiving, The Kangaroo Forest has a few tips for teaching your child about gratitude:
The first step to helping your child understand the concept of gratitude is by showing them what it looks like. When your child helps fold laundry or picks up the toys in their playroom, offer your thanks for their efforts:
"Thank you! I'm so lucky to have such a helpful child!"
"I appreciate your help with dinner tonight! I couldn't have done it without you."
"That's a beautiful drawing! Thank you. I love it so much, I will have to hang it on the fridge."
Children learn by doing. When you thank your child, they will observe this behavior and are more likely to become generous givers and gracious receivers. The key to this strategy is consistently using "thank you", "please", and "you're welcome" around your child until they have begun using these phrases.
Sometimes, we can all be push-overs and give in to the desires of our children — that's parental love! However, we recommend saying "no" sometimes. If a child is always given what they want when they want it, they never quite grasp that all things require effort and hard work — they grow to believe things are simply handed to them!
When you tell a child "no", they grow to appreciate "yes." This is also a great lesson in teaching your child to work for the things they want. If there is a toy they want from the store, tell them they must earn the money to purchase the toy by helping with household chores. When they finally earn the money they need, purchasing the toy will be even more gratifying.
Assisting those in need is not only a great way to contribute to society, but also a wonderful way to show your child all they have to be grateful for. Whether you offer financial assistance or donate clothes/food, use this practice to have a conversation with your child: "Some people don't have the same luxuries we do, which is why we help them. Aren't we so lucky to have what we have?"
The Kangaroo Forest is forever grateful for our parents, community, and their continued support. Happy Thanksgiving — from our families to yours! For more information regarding our childcare programs, click here.
