Medical Associations, School Administrators, and More Submit Briefs to the Supreme Court in Support of Transgender Student
When then-15-year-old Gavin Grimm testified before his school board two and a half years ago, he didn't anticipate that his fight to simply be himself would land him at the Supreme Court. And just a few short months from now, his case could change the legal landscape of transgender rights for generations.
Gavin Grimm is a boy from Gloucester County, Virginia, whose school board voted to bar him from the common restrooms that all other students use just because he is transgender. In November of 2014, he stood before his school board to explain his situation. "All I want to do is be a normal child and use the restroom in peace, and I have had no problems from students to do that — only from adults," he said to the board and those in attendance, many of whom feared or despised him. "I did not ask to be this way, and it's one of the most difficult things anyone can face. … I am just a human. I am just a boy."
With incredible poise and determination, Gavin stood up for himself as a room full of people called him a "freak," debated his body, and voted on his rights. No young person — no person — should ever have to endure the indignities that Gavin faced that day. Now, Gavin is no longer standing alone before a school board. He is standing before the nation's highest court with unprecedented support from individuals and institutions from across the country.
Today's amicus, or friend of the court, filings in support of Gavin reflect an overwhelming consensus that trans people are a vital part of public life and that expelling trans people from restrooms, locker rooms, or any other space is intolerable discrimination.
Briefs filed in support for Gavin include:
- A brief from medical associations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, and many others, reflecting the scientific and medical consensus that transgender individuals must be treated consistent with their gender identity
- A brief from school administrators from schools in 31 states and the District of Columbia explaining that treating trans students consistent with their gender identity poses none of the speculative problems that opponents of trans people raise
- A brief from over 100 domestic violence and sexual assault prevention organizations from across the country urging the court to uphold protections for transgender individuals under Title IX
- A brief from students, both transgender and non-transgender, explaining that fully including transgender students in school life only enhances the school experience for all students and leads to none of the fears raised by opponents of trans people
- A brief from over 90 transgender individuals speaking about their experiences as doctors, lawyers, artists, educators, scientists, public servants, and more as well as explaining how policies like Gloucester County School Board's prevent them from fully participating in society.
What the briefs show, especially when compared with the minimal filings in support of the school board, is that this issue isn't scary or complicated.
Treating transgender individuals as human beings is something that people have figured out in schools, workplaces, governments, and organizations across the country. At women's colleges, in the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts, even in advocacy before the Supreme Court itself, transgender people exist, participate, and thrive.
Join us and #StandWithGavin.
Thanks again, ACLU, for your ongoing fight for individual civil rights. It is incredible to me that we still have these medieval prejudices in 2017; but clearly we are not as enlightened as we might have hoped. I am heartened by the recent boost in funding for ACLU; I am pitching in a few more bucks for this battle. Fight on, fight on.

I truly do not see the big problem with allowing Gavin Grimm to use the restroom of his choice.
I am a straight, 62-year-old woman, who quite frankly, would not take issue with society introducing "Unisex Bathrooms". Bathrooms have STALLS, so people HAVE PRIVACY. So, then, where lies the problem?
Well, actually, the problem lies in IGNORANCE.......

There is something wrong with a man thinking he is a woman or a woman thinking she is a man. It is mutilation with dangerous hormones. Most transexuals were sexually abused in childhood which messed up their minds and transexuals sexually abuse children. Transexuals are mutilated gays and lesbians. I don't care what others say but mutilating a man or woman to make them fake members of opposite sex is gay/lesbian. And gay/lesbian groups are apologists for Transexuals which is why the word T is there. They must abolish this surgical mutilation.
All transexuals are homosexual/lesbian as the act of mutilating to become false opposite sex is itself an act of homosexuality/lesbianism-sad maiming and make this illegal. Finally, sex change maimings which is mutilating some1 to make them fake members of opposite sex is comparable to trying to make a man a fake animal because he thinks he is an animal trapped in a human body. Most feminists are not speaking against this. 1 would hope that feminists would oppose the mutilation that happened to Chastity Sun Bono as feminists have spoken against Female Genital Mutilation which happens in some nations. Transexuals are mutilations which no Dr. should take part in, yet most feminists are not condemning this female genital and breast mutilation as what happened to Chastity S. Bono where her healthy breasts were mutilated, dangerous hormone shots and her genitals mutilated.

You poor uniformed, brainwashed, pitiful soul.
How empty and sad your life must be.
You need help.

Wow, it must be nice to be such an expert on genetics and gender identity, why aren't you on a national scientific board or something?
Oh,yeah....because you know absolutely nothing outside of your narrow-minded,uninformed opinion.

I don't understand how anyone could accuse a child who just wants to be free of discrimination a dangerous person.

Whatever sex you were born as is how God made you-please use the correct bathroom--it is really that easy!

I'm a nonreligious person who sees something wrong with homosexual & lesbian conduct & I think that they must make it a crime to do sex changes. Even if orientation doesn't change, it's best for gays/lesbians to be celibate just as it's best for a person with tobacco orientation not to smoke. If homosexuality is inborn as some scientists believe, then it would be a birth defect.
Never have I heard straights blame childhood sex abuse for reasons a man has sex with a woman and fathers children with her. Yet sometimes have heard gays and lesbians say childhood sex abuse is reason they do same sex behaviors. Sex abuse in youth can cause people to behave in ways. It's not controversial to talk of nightmares, suicides, bed wetting often a result of sex abuse in youth. Yet when 1 talks gay/lesbian behaviors in adulthood because they learned this sexual behavior by being repeatedly molested, then gays with politically safe psychologists complain. The politically correct psychologists who deny this know it's possible for a boy to turn out gay as a result of childhood sex abuse, yet deny what they know is true. Of course, not all who are sexually abused in youth become gay in adulthood-but the risk is higher.
Homosexual/lesbian conduct needs to be marginalized such as smoking/tobacco use is. I know my view offends homosexuals, but most smokers do not get offended by negative views of tobacco use. So homosexuals/lesbians have to hear others give negative views of their sex lives, because there is something wrong with this just as there's something wrong with smoking.
Repair therapy for gays and lesbians who want to be straight must be available just as repair therapy must be available for a drug junky who wants to become clean. For a therapy to have best chance of success, the patient has to want it for themselves. If a person goes into therapy because he or she is pressured by peers into this, they are usu. not going to last long because they don't sincerely want it. If a kid is a junky and he or she doesn't want therapy to quit drugs, then it's usu. going to fail because they don't want it. You can not force a person into therapy minus a court order and even if you do, if they don't sincerely want it, it's usu. will fail. While repair therapy to treat gayism, lesbianism often fails, using what you ask, we also should not have repair therapy to treat smoking, drug junkyism, etc. because that often fails. Minors can not be forced into therapy against will-minus a court order such as requiring medicines for a minor who does not want medicines.
Yes, it should also be the right of homosexuals and lesbians not to go into repair therapy just as I support right of tobacco users not to have repair therapy to quit smoking and I support right of any lucid person to refuse medical care such as if a lucid person's a heart attack victim and does not want open heart surgery, then it should be their right to refuse this. Yes, proof burden is on repair therapists, but if you aren't going to have repair therapy for homsexuality/lesbianism, then you may as well not have repair therapy for drug junkyism or drunkardism, because such therapy often fails and high relapses. Is it possible for a homosexual or lesbian to change sexual behavior and sexual orientation to heterosexuality? There are gays and lesbians who sincerely believe they changed to heterosexuality and without contrary proof only they know.

Dear Lettuce Challenge Participants,
We hope plant delivery went smoothly, all plants and registered classrooms are accounted for, and you are up to the challenge! One teacher asked a really great question, especially considering we are expecting weather on Sunday night/Monday.
Q. How do we keep them alive, what about watering on the weekends?
A. These peat pots are great because you can see and feel when they are dry. Remember to refer to the post on how to care for you plants. The soil should feel moist. Pots can be watered from below, but remember not to let them sit in a deep puddle or your soil will turn from a healthy "cake batter" to a drown-your-plant "soup." Remember roots depend upon air that is held in the pore spaces of your soil. You will have to trust yourself, your plants, and your students. This is a courageous undertaking! Here's our delivery confirmation document and a link to the printable pdf HERE:LettuceChallenge2015DeliveryDoc (PDF)
Q. What are our goals now?
A. Please take a look at the attached Challenge Rules and Submission Guidelines. You may print a pdf here: LettuceChallengeUpdates2.27_ContestEntryRequirements
Q. What can we share with our families?
A. Please send them a link to this blog so they can follow along with updates, and email them a copy of our invitation to the ButterCrunch Awards on Third Sunday, April 19th, 2-4pm at the GEC. I will be at the GEC Greenhouse this Sunday, 2-4 pm if anyone would like to stop by and ask questions. Last chance to pick up a limited supply of community windowsill challenge kits.
Don't forget to comment below with questions or email me at youth.director @ gecgreenwich.org.
Thanks again,
Ms. D

One of the best marketing strategies today is also one of the newest, and that is video marketing. Thanks to the speed of the Internet, millions can access content in only a matter of seconds. If you dedicate yourself to creating great videos, you will be able to meet and surpass your goals with ease.
If you make more videos, the better it is for you. You should always be uploading new videos for your viewers to come back and see. This can draw in additional viewers as you'll be exploring a diverse number of topics, too.
Use video marketing to reach out to your customers. Have people send in questions about your company or related topics, and then answer some of these questions in a brief video. If possible, offer a prize or incentive to customers whose questions were used in the clip.
When you produce video marketing content, do not get stuck on the production value of your content. Lofty production values do not always make the most beneficial videos, in terms of generating profit. Even large corporations, like Dell, have been successful with simple demos made by employees.
People online today have short attention spans. You need to make the first 15 seconds of your videos count. This is where a special point-of-view or teaser can help captivate them to watch the whole video.
Be sure to pay attention to YouTube. You should start all of your video marketing efforts on this site. Additionally, YouTube offers free video hosting for their users. You also get immediate exposure to a large number of viewers. This means your video is out there to be seen here.
If your video's objective is pushing a product to the individuals watching, make certain that you include some hyperlink near the bottom of the frame or the page's margin. Better yet, place the link within the video itself. That way, the link will stay with the video if the video gets shared or embedded elsewhere.
Make your content interesting. Make sure your videos are fun and entertaining while also giving your viewers important information. Putting your videos on a hosting site such as YouTube may attract more visitors, but not if your videos are dull and uninteresting. People are interested in videos that tell them something useful, not just a dull ad. You can continually increase your traffic by always providing interesting videos.
The truth will set you free – and get you more viewers. When creating a video, make sure it's something you are truly passionate about. If you present a natural, authentic demeanor, folks will like the video that much more and are sure to return later for more.
You need to know how to track your video's performance statistics regularly. You should not assume how valuable the video will be to your customers just by guessing. If you have actual numbers available it will be much more helpful. A video that has been viewed many times but doesn't generate sales is still good, but not as one that gets people to buy your product.
Share your video far and wide. Send it to family and friends through email. Create a blog post that describes the video on your website. Get the word out to clients through emails. Post it all over the Internet such as Facebook, YouTube, etc. Spread the word around the globe!
Make sure your video is short and loaded with relevant information. People online have very short attention spans these days online. Do not produce videos that last more than five minutes or you will lose a lot of viewers. Your content may be tremendous; however, if viewers are leaving or distracted while it plays, it accomplishes nothing.
Always let your true personality shine through during the video process. Your audience is predominantly interested in seeing exactly what you have to offer. People will become loyal if they feel they have a relationship with you and your brand. People will also start to associate your face with your brand.
Voice overs are great if you're too timid to appear in person. Perhaps you're afraid of missing out on sales because your competitors are using video, but you lack the confidence to appear in front of a camera. You can still create a video with your own personal touch by using audio. Just make a product demonstration, then add a recording of your voice as an audio track.
Clearly, video marketing does not need to be a daunting prospect. The most important thing is for you to learn as much as you can. After doing that, you should be pretty confident your marketing campaign will be successful. All that is left to do now is to get to work.

An amendment to the Senate highway bill now under consideration that includes third class medical reform language has been filed by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and John Boozman (R-Ark.). The amendment, which mirrors language in the Pilot's Bill of Rights 2, was filed by the two senators who are longtime general aviation advocates. Manchin is also a pilot and AOPA member.
"We very much want to see third class medical reform enacted by any means possible, and we appreciate the leadership of Senators Manchin and Boozman in bringing this issue forward and working to have it added to the highway bill," said AOPA President Mark Baker. "Both these senators understand just how important this issue is to the general aviation community and have demonstrated that they're willing to act to give pilots relief from the outdated and cumbersome third class medical process."
The next step will be for the Senate to determine which amendments are allowed to come up for a vote. While it's impossible to say whether or not the Manchin-Boozman amendment will make it to the floor in one form or another, the language it contains, which matches that in the Pilot's Bill of Rights 2 (PBR2), does have strong bipartisan support with nearly half the Senate signing on to that legislation as cosponsors.
It's unclear whether agreement on a highway bill can be reached before July 31 when funding authority expires and the House begins its five-week August recess. And while the House has passed a highway bill that would extend the program until December, the Senate bill looks to authorize the program for as much as six years.
Meanwhile, support for third-class medical reform continues to grow. A July 16 AOPA call-to-action asking members to urge their elected officials to co-sponsor the Pilot's Bill of Rights 2, which includes third-class medical reform as well as protections for pilots facing an FAA enforcement action, resulted in nearly 70,000 contacts. Within a few days 21 more senators had added their names to the bipartisan list of cosponsors, which now includes 47 senators and 117 members of the House.
"This is a complex process and we can't predict the outcome, but the more support we can demonstrate for third-class medical reform the better," said Baker. "Even if you've contacted your senators about PBR2, call or email them again today and ask them to support the Manchin-Boozman amendment. Time is short and every voice counts!"
A complete list of co-sponsors is available on AOPA's website and members who wish to contact their legislators can do so through the association's action page. Please note that you will need to change the letter to express support for the Manchin-Boozman amendment.
"We are determined to get third class medical reform, and lawmakers have heard our message loud and clear," said Baker. "But this doesn't mean we can or will rest. We'll keep working for medical reform every day, and through every possible channel, until we get it done."
AOPA's pursuit of third class medical reform to expand on the successful sport pilot medical standard, which has safely allowed some pilots to fly without a third class medical certificate for more than a decade, is nothing new. In March 2012, AOPA and EAA jointly filed a petition with the FAA to expand the standard to more pilots and more types of aircraft.
In the approximately 18-months since Mark Baker took the helm at AOPA, he has continued to pursue FAA regulatory action while embarking on an effort to work with Congress to promote a legislative solution. The 2014 General Aviation Pilot Protection Act gained solid support, but time ran out in the 113th Congress before the bill could be brought to a vote. In the meantime, the FAA did develop a proposed rule to address needed changes to the third class medical process. The draft rule has been held up in the Department of Transportation review process for nearly a year with no sign of movement.
The start of the 114th Congress in January brought new legislation in the form of the Pilot's Bill of Rights 2, S. 571, introduced by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Manchin. This bill has been put in amendment form (Manchin-Boozman) with the intent to attach it to the highway bill currently being considered by the Congress.

Mayor welcomes Hanging Rock debate
The Macedon Ranges Mayor says he welcomes community input into debate around the future of Hanging Rock.
The council is facing strong opposition to its plans to investigate options for development at the tourist attraction, with the last protest on Sunday.
Mayor Roger Jukes says no decisions have been made yet and he looks forward to hearing what the public has to say during formal consultations later this year.
"When we've got all the information together and then certainly public consultation is where we're heading with it, so it's advantageous to council and the public to have all the information together before we move down into consulting about something that we don't know at this stage," he said.
"It's good to get the community feedback and to see the community proactive in something is a real positive.
"So it means that at the end of the day when we get to do the community consultation that we we're going to have the community involved, which is very positive."

When disasters strike, it is mainly because of the work that companies like Green Structure Homes carry out that people can get situated once again. The company has time and still contributed to relocation measures in the aftermath of natural disasters, and has been able to help people locate themselves once again. One of the people leading the charge at the company is Barbara Stokes, who stands as the CEO of Green Structure Homes. Having an incredible amount of experience with companies partaking in disaster relief measures, she has been able to implement a number of developments that have improved the manner in which the company functions. As the CEO, she is responsible for all of the programs that the company takes on and the measures that they implement. She has been able to improve the services that the company offers and has developed the overall workings of Green Structure Homes. Visit her Linkedin profile to know more.
As the CEO of a company like this, she often has to work with government officials and agencies. One of the organizations that the company is known to work in coordination with is FEMA and has ongoing contracts with them. Because of these collaborations, the company itself has been able to grow and expand. Because of the work that the company is doing with FEMA, they have been able to set up eight new Green Structure Homes centers throughout the country. Stokes was a large part of this development that the company has seen and was instrumental in the program that was implemented. Through her work, he was able to help the company grow and become a notable name in the industry. Visit cullmantimes.com to know more about Barbara Stokes.
The opening up of eight new centers is not only beneficial for Green Structure Homes, but for the communities around which they are situated. These new centers will make way for a number of new positions, thereby giving people a good place that they can work at.
The direction in which Green Structure Homes has moved in is greatly influenced by the principles and values that Barbara Stokes holds. Giving back to the community is one of the principles that the company was built on, and is also something that Stokes sees as extremely important.

A host in one of the variety show in T.V. asked an overseas Filipino worker what is his motto. The man swiftly said "Six-feet below the ground" It was unheard of and funny who would have think about digging your own grave as your motto in life but different strokes for different folks like they say.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. Started his career as a lanky lightweight fighter but what made him a star was that he doesn't duck any fighter available to fight him. His fights with Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo was a classic but fast forward and wins after wins Mayweather became cautious about fighting oppositions. He was worried about his perfect record that he is now choosing the easy money and the easy win. It was no coincidence that he fought an older De La Hoya, a smaller and immovable Ricky Hatton or a much smaller light weight fighter in Juan Manuel Marquez. Everything was planned everything was meticulously detailed in whom or where Floyd fights. When Shane Mosley, Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams and Miguel Cotto rule the welterweight division everybody was calling out on Mayweather to fight them but Floyd opt to retire to protect his beloved record he then came back against Marquez. When Pacquiao knocked Miguel Cotto out Floyd was put on the corner and had no choice but to say yes on the biggest fight in the planet with millions of money on the table.
The negotiations on the first part were surprisingly easy but on the later part all those excuses and accusations came out. Who are we kidding Floyd will not fight Manny if he had avoided those Mosleys and Cottos before why not now. Actually before Golden Boy and top rank started negotiations the Mayweather team is already preparing a fight against the brother whom he knock out years ago Matthew Hatton. So basically Pacquiao in any way is not an option for Floyd. Who would pay to see a fight with Floyd and Matthew Hatton? To keep it in the right perspective Floyd should remember that he needs Pacquiao not the other way around as for Manny there are still some broad options waiting for him he may fight Yuri Foreman, Andre Berto or even Paul Williams. With millions in IRS debt and a looming litigation case Floyd is losing money and we are not talking about thousands but tens of millions of dollars. He is digging his own grave or maybe he shares the same motto like the OFW person in T.V. ..Six feet below the ground.
Happy New Year everyone!!!

£1 million plans for Manthorpe church
There are ambitious plans to build a community centre at Manthorpe church after it was bequeathed about £1 million by a villager.
The plans are in the early stages, but the church vicar wants to provide a building for community use and not just for the congregation.
Father Stuart Cradduck, vicar of St John the Evangelist in Manthorpe, said the church was weighing up its options with regard to the community project and was having plans drawn up.
Fr Stuart added: "We were left a substantial amount of money and recognised that in the parish and village of Manthorpe there is no community centre and we wanted to think about how we could address that. We are looking at how best we can better serve the parish and not just the congregation. Some of the money will go into a trust fund, about 10 per cent, to help the people of the parish."
The Manthorpe plan comes a few months after controversial plans were revealed to spend £5 million on a church hall and education centre in the grounds of St Wulfram's Church. These plans were put forward following the sale of the church hall and part of the rectory gardens in Church Street.
The St Wulfram's plans include the construction of a large and small hall, an education centre, a heritage skills centre, a 'song school' which would be available to musical groups in the town, and archive space.
If the plan goes ahead it is proposed to build in the south and western areas of the churchyard, towards Swinegate. But there is opposition to the plan from those who consider it will overwhelm the church setting.
Fr Stuart said initial discussions were still taking place on proposals for St Wulfram's.

Per Hike Leader Bryan: UPDATE: POSTPONED UNTIL *SUNDAY* 9:30 am! Hope you make it? Please update your RSVP. We still want to get outdoors! Since it's raining today (Friday) and some possibility on Saturday, we will wait a day and go on Sunday (2/12/17) instead, to let the stream level go down. Here is Sunday's weather.com forecast for Altadena. Though there is still 15% chance of sprinkles we're hoping it will be fine. We've hiked there before in light drizzle and it was quite nice actually because the trees give coverage.
We'll give it a go and see how far we can get. If it's fine we'll stick with our plan and do our hike! If stream is too high, we'll enjoy what we can and just go find a warm lunch restaurant.
Just wear layers (cool temps in the 50's), bring your rain gear & walking stick, waterproof hiking boots if available. (and maybe a plastic bag liner between 2 pairs of socks in case we walk through the stream (anyone tried this before?). Bring a change of clothes, socks, shoes in the car.
Time: 9:30 a.m.
Near: La Canada Flintridge, San Gabriel Mountains
Distance: 6.8 miles round-trip
Hike time: 4 hours
Difficulty: Moderate
Elevation Gain: 1,400 feet
Trail type: Well-traveled, well-maintained trail with multiple stream crossings and some boulder-hopping.
Type: Out and back
Summary: A varied and interesting streamside hike to 50-foot high Switzer Falls, one of the most popular and easily-accessible waterfalls in the Angeles National Forest, and then onwards to the secluded Bear Canyon Campground. The Gabrielino Trail begins by weaving riverside through a gorgeous riparian canyon carved by the Arroyo Seco River.
After multiple stream crossings and some moderate boulder-hopping, the trail climbs out of the canyon's shade and into the scrub of the higher elevations. From here, the trail offers vistas of the surrounding mountains, before eventually descending back down into the canyon towards Switzer Falls. After a snack break at the Falls, the hike will continue onwards down the Gabrielino Trail, along the Arroyo Seco canyon, passing multiple swimming holes, past canyon walls lined with sycamores and oaks, before ending at our lunch spot, the well-maintained Bear Canyon Campground. After lunch, we will hike back up the same way we came in.
Good boots, walking sticks and stream crossings: Our path meanders back and forth across the stream. With our recent rain, the stream may be ankle-high in places. requiring crossing over using wet logs, boulders, and potentially getting our feet wet. Hiking boots with good grip recommended. A good balance and a walking stick can definitely help with the stream crossings. You could optionally bring Tevas, if you'd rather walk through the water, or change of socks and shoes in case you get wet. Getting wet in the stream is nothing scary, but we don't want people getting hurt by slipping on wet rocks/logs, so please be careful!
The hike meanders back and across the stream running down the spectacular Arroyo Seco Canyon
Trailhead: From the 210 Freeway, take the CA-2 North toward the Angeles Crest Highway in La Canada Flintridge. Enter the mountains, and continue east on CA-2 for 9.8 miles. At the Clear Creek Information Center, continue east on CA-2 and look for the Switzer Picnic Area sign on the right. Descend down Switzer Truck Trail, down to the parking area. There is an often crowded parking lot at the bottom of the canyon near the picnic areas, as well as two overflow lots along the way. Display your Adventure Pass.
Map: https://goo.gl/maps/yMwp6ZqtWJm
Parking: As Switzer Falls is one of the most popular waterfall hikes in Los Angeles County, the trail may get crowded. However, there is ample parking in the lower parking area. Should the lower parking area be completely fully, there are two overflow lots above it on the canyon road - simply allow for extra elevation upon your return.
What to Bring: Good hiking boots/shoes, snacks/lunch, plenty of water, and wear layers (as canyon is mostly shaded, and can get cold). Rain Cancels.
Hike Leader: Albert Sotelo & Bryan Matsumoto. If you have any questions, please contact Albert at 323-456-5302, e-mail: email@example.com; or Bryan at 626-246-8634, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

That's My Jam #52 - Mt. Doubt - Asunder
"Songs I wrote in my bedroom" is how Mt. Doubt is described on their Facebook page. Which is one of the reasons why latest track Asunder is so fucking impressive. I know, I know, people can do all sorts in their bedroom these days [snigger], but the completeness and expansive sound of Asunder goes beyond what I'd class as lo-fi bedroom recordings, or uber produced bedroom recordings.
Hailing from Edinburgh, Mt. Doubt have released consistently good tracks online, and Asunder seems like the natural progression from it's predecessors. Following a playful clinking intro, sweeping drums, soulful vocals, and atmospheric guitars swirl up to the pinnacle of the track; it's building and soaring outro. More please.

UPDATE — 12/4, 12:56 p.m. EST: Sources for NBC News and ABC News have confirmed White House adviser Jared Kushner is the "very senior member" of the Trump transition team alluded to in court documents who directed Michael Flynn to contact foreign officials, including Russians, about a UN resolution regarding Israeli settlements in Palestine — a potential violation of federal law established in 1799, known as the Logan Act.
On Sunday, Newsweek reported Kushner did not list his association with a family foundation which funded illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank on financial disclosure forms filed with the Office of Government Ethics in early 2017.
After days of speculation a negotiated deal with federal prosecutors was eminent, former national security adviser Michael Flynn has plead guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI in regard to its investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
In a Friday morning hearing in a Washington, D.C., court, Flynn plead guilty plea to the charge he made false statements in January over conversations he held with the then-Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak.
According to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's indictment, Flynn is charged with lying about asking the former Russian ambassador to advise the Kremlin not to "escalate" the diplomatic row between the two countries following the Obama administration's sanctions in December 2016.
Flynn is also charged with failing to reveal Kislyak responded the Kremlin had planned to do as much as a result of Flynn's conversation with the Russian ambassador. When asked if Russia had agreed to the request, Flynn reportedly told FBI investigators he had no recollection.
Flynn also told the FBI he did not ask Kislyak to "delay a vote on or defeat" a resolution in front of the UN Security Council, when in fact he did.
Flynn allegedly held the conversation with Kislyak on Dec. 29, 2016, shortly after the Obama White House imposed sanctions against Russia for its role in meddling with the 2016 presidential election.
Conversations between Flynn and the FBI took place approximately one month after Flynn met with Kislyak.
"Given the narrow scope of the indictment, I would put good money on it that this was the negotiated terms of the deal," said Brad Moss, a national security lawyer. "Mueller agreed to charge Flynn with a single felony in exchange for cooperation and material information (as well as not prosecuting him for other things)."
Multiple media outlets have reported after Flynn formally plead guilty that he will fully cooperate with federal authorities and testify against then-candidate Trump about his willingness to work with Russian contacts during the campaign.
CORRECTION of ABC News Special Report: Flynn prepared to testify that President-elect Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians *during the transition* — initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria, confidant now says. https://t.co/ewrkVZTu2K pic.twitter.com/URLiHf3uSm
— ABC News (@ABC) December 2, 2017
A former Army lieutenant general, Flynn served as national security adviser for only weeks before being forced to step down after he made misleading statements to Vice President Mike Pence over the contact with Kislyak.
Prior to his association with Donald Trump, Flynn received over $65,000 from RT and two other Russian entities for a Moscow speech in 2015 without prior permission, another potential violation of federal law.
Flynn faces up to five years in prison for "willfully and knowingly" giving "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the FBI.

Fortunately, the man from security check who wanted to inspect our car, gave up after short... I wonder why? Eventually we arrived home safe a bit tired but happy. After a good 4 h sleep in the own bed, EG left for work as usual.

Celestial Bodies are there own unique Conscious Being's. Each shape the energy it holds or the part of the Universes Consciousness of their Expansive Thought. The Universe could be imagined as a single Organism of Thought. Which feeds and absorbs all within it. There is a commonality as the Original Intent split itself, or more accurately, Reflects its Mirror Image causing an action reaction Anomaly through out its Universe. The Original Singularity to and from a Duality based +- attributes on every level. Matter / Dark Matter. Physicality / Consciousness.
A never decaying ebb and flow between the two. Always stable. Always contracting and expanding in the Breath of of Itself through the White Sun the input)and Black Holes the Output of the Universe. As our Hot Yellow Sun absorbs the White Suns energy and changes the in flux of energy into a Usable Energy( matching the frequencies of the Earth, just as our Fibonacci Spiral above the Pineal Gland does for our human body) In and Out….As our Hot Yellow Sun absorbs the Collective Consciousness of Mankind and releases it into the Universes Collective. This creates a Evolutionary Collective Consciousness Universal Interactive. A Stability as all Universe's Ebb and Flow through Each Other but in a different reality growing toward the Same as One but never completed as a whole from the constant growth of all aspects.
All is connected and part of Each. Expanding in the Experience of all the faucets of Universe. Starting in the purest from of Thought down to the density of the most contracted Matter and back into the purest Energy in growth.. We and all things expand back into the Original Reflection as we work are way through all parts of Universe with the end outcome of Being a Complete Equal to the Original Being.

CAM 09 is a location in The Return to Freddy's 3 within Fazbear Fantasy Land. Lockjaw is the only animatronic to travel through here.
CAM 09 looks very similar to many of the other rooms in Fazbear Fantasy Land. There is hardly anything that can be seen in this camera, aside from a few children's drawings and posters on the wall, along with some wires hanging from the ceiling. This camera's view is, noticeably, very dark.
CAM 09 is a location in The Return to Freddy's 4 within Freddy Fazzy Funtime. Every single animatronic in the game passes through this location before entering the office.
CAM 09 seems to showcase a long wide hallway with two arcade machines visible up against the wall. A dismantled Foxy suit can also be seen, supported by a steel pole at the end of the hallway. A spare Bonnie head can also been seen on a steel pole near the entrance to The Office too.

Anyone can contribute to The Roar and have their work featured alongside some of Australia's most prominent sports journalists.
The Wallabies' season has finally finished, here is the best, the worst and the most contentious from the 2017 international series.
Part 1 of this series looked at four players from the forward pack who have had varying seasons with the National team. Now, we move onto the inside backs:
Average Roar rating: 5.99
Highest Roar rating: 8.43 (vs Wales – 11/12)
Lowest Roar rating: 3.66 (vs Scotland – 6/17)
Australia's best halfback returned from a stint in Paris to continue his great career and record with the Wallabies, but initially, it seemed like his triumphant return had fallen flat. His poor form played a big part in the Aussies average June Test series, and it had a growing number of people questioning his position within the squad.
Fortunately, he has improved with every game under his belt this season, so much so, that there were times where he looked as good as the running halfback from the Queensland Red's 2011 Super Rugby Championship-winning season.
Against Wales, Genia fired a perfect pass to put Adam Coleman through a hole to score from close range. In Dunedin his created Australia's third try from a failing scrum, 60 metres out, he collected the ball and went through a hole which ultimately saw Bernard Foley finish the sequence over the try line.
Genia's overwhelming value to the side has become obvious throughout the Rugby Championship and Spring tour. His passing, organisation and leadership are all great assets to his game, and these two plays showed that he still has plenty to offer the national side.
Two stolen tries against Scotland, Genia's poor game directly contributed to Scotland's commanding start to the test at Allianz Stadium in June. For the visitor's first try, Genia delivered a bullet behind Tatafu Polota-Nau at knee height. The hooker managed to catch it but pushed a wild pass on which was intercepted to result in a try.
Later in the first half, Genia attempted a clearance kick from a scrum deep in Australia's half. The kick was charged down and regathered for a try under the posts to the Scots. It was the second kick by Genia that had been charged down in as many weeks. Genia's form throughout the June series put series question marks on his position in the Wallabies squad.
World Cup prospects
Barring injury, all but assured the number 9 jersey as a "last hurrah". Despite his age, Genia remains the best halfback in the country, with plenty of space between him and second place. While his spot is virtually guaranteed, the more intriguing (or worrying) question is who will be his backup.
Average Roar rating: 5.20
Highest Roar rating: 7.06 (vs Fiji – 6/10)
Lowest Roar rating: 3.71 (vs NZ – 8/19)
Foley has copped a lot of criticism about his game this year. Whether it is directly from his performances or the frustration of Michael Cheika's obvious stubborn resistance to properly develop any other option at fly-half, I'm not sure. Either way, it's no secret that Foley has had a tough year, never being able to assert his authority on a game, nor replicate his great form from the 2015 World Cup.
His kicking remains an issue, although it must be hard to perform with the boot with a smug Reece Hodge lingering over his shoulder, and his passing can still be improved. The good news is that Foley will have a great opportunity to work on the weaknesses of his game with Stephen Larkham on the Wallabies' coaching staff.
Say what you want about Foley's game, that guy is one tough unit, he has an outstanding ability to take a hit and get back up, two shots, in particular, come to mind, the first was in the Wallabies' second test against the Springboks. Foley takes a ball from Genia, and with no thought for his own well being he holds it up at the line and turns it back into Israel Folau who runs through untouched to score the first try, all the while Foley gets absolutely levelled by Springbok inside centre, Jan Serfontein.
The second was against the All Blacks in Brisbane. Foley (in retrospect, very foolishly) attempted to hit a hole close to the ruck off a short ball by Genia, only to be cleaned up by All Blacks reserve prop, Ofa Tu'ungafasi.
Speaking of Tests against the All Blacks, Foley's goalkicking in Dunedin really hurt the Wallabies prospects of winning the match. It's unfair to blame the loss on his kicking that night, but in such a close game, it's hard not to when just two of six attempts went through the uprights.
Furthermore, there were a couple of plays that really made me question Foley's effort.
When playing under a coach who operates on enthusiasm, effort and hard work (and maybe a little emotion), I can't understand why his poster boy would jog after a grubber kick through the defensive line even though he is the closest to the ball, or not join a failing maul close to the try line, rather hang behind it. On these occasions, it seemed to me as though Foley simply did not want to be on the field, which is about as low as it comes for a national fly half.
World Cup prospects
Foley is the only reliable fly-half that Australia has at their dispense with a wealth of experience at international level. Although he has shortcomings in his game, he will usually perform a solid, reliable job which is about as good as it gets nowadays. So, come 2019, he will be the answer from the process of deduction.
Average Roar rating: 6.03
Highest Roar rating: 7.69 (vs South Africa – 9/9)
Lowest Roar rating: 3.50 (vs Scotland 11/26)
He missed the June Test series and on his return, quickly proved that he was missed in the June Test series. Beale initially filled in for an injured Karmichael Hunt at inside-centre but he quickly showed the damage that a livewire, opportunistic back can do. He needs to be a mainstay in the Wallabies backline, simple as that. The skills, the natural feel for the attack, it's everything that Australia needs in their rugby team.
Beale was heavily criticised after his poor defensive effort in the first Bledisloe Cup Test, and he responded perfectly in the follow-up match at Dunedin. Beale was playing opposite Sonny-Bill Williams, a formidable opponent, especially if you have some defensive concerns. He shut Williams out of the game and crossed the line for a last-minute try which could've and should've been the game-winner for Australia.
A bloodied and bruised Beale celebrating in the in-goal is one of the best photos of the season (although, an argument could be made for his infamous pic with Prince William), it shows just how much the jersey means to him, and the progression he has made to becoming one of the central figures within the team.
On the topic of meaningful jerseys, Beale's involvement with the Indigenous jersey the Wallabies played in for the Brisbane Test match was brilliant. It was the best night for a rugby fan in recent memory, and it was all spurred on by the outstanding jersey bathed in traditional artwork. It must be the Wallabies' regular playing jersey.
There have been a few lows following Beale around recently, a couple of blunders and a lack of impact on the game, interestingly since he has moved to fullback in Israel Folau's absence. Of course, the back-to-back yellow cards in the final two games are a standout, although his card against Scotland did nothing to affect the final outcome.
Not chasing the ball at Twickenham because it might've been out. You know what I'm talking about. It's fresh and it's painful. I won't question Beale's effort and commitment like I did for Foley, but he seems to have fallen into a relaxed, almost nonchalant way of playing, even when the game is in the balance.
World Cup prospects
He's back and hitting great form, although Beale can most successfully serve his team from inside centre rather than fullback, especially if Michael Cheika is going to stick with Bernard Foley at fly-half. Folau should remain at fullback, which leaves Samu Kerevi and Karmichael Hunt to fight it out for a spot on the bench.
Whatever the backline Michael Cheika settles on for the Cup, there is no doubt that Beale will be there, somewhere.
In part three, we will move onto the outside backs, and go over the best and the worst that the Wallabies' flyers had to offer.

A Time Under the Moon
Xander Grey's Story
Xander Grey's story is... a different one, to put it in simplest terms. That is the reason why I feel compelled to record his story...
Xander was a strong, brave, young man who excelled at everything he did. He was rather tall for his age, and had short, dark brown hair and green eyes like the sea.
At the age of fifteen, Xander was enlisted as a personal guard to the King in the year 1298 A.D. He and the rest of the guards protected the King from any and every threat that came their way. The threats came often because the King was in possession of a very powerful machine. This machine had the ability to manipulate time, and many other kingdoms wanted this kind of power at their fingertips.
Three years would pass after Xander was enlisted. There had been no recent threats toward the King or kingdom. Everyone was happy and content, and everything was peaceful.
One evening, the moon was hanging high in the sky, and it looked larger and more full than usual. The moonlight added a soft glow to everything it touched, and a lazy breeze was stirring in the warm, summer, night air.
Deep, loud howls sounded in the near distance. These howls did not sound as if they came from coyotes or wolves, but from something bigger. Everyone in the kingdom heard those howls, and every single hair on their bodies stood on end.
All of the guards just laughed it off and carried on with their business. Xander, however, had a feeling that something was not quite right.
"Should we have guards keep watch for those creatures?" Xander asked the King.
"Nonsense, 'tis only wolves, Xander," the King chuckled.
Xander nodded in agreement to the King, but he still felt very uneasy. Suddenly, a messenger burst into the room and confirmed Xander's worries.
"Strange creatures are invading the kingdom, your Majesty!" the messenger panted.
"What creatures?" inquired the King.
"They... appear to be werewolves, my King."
As if they had been waiting for the messenger to introduce them, three werewolves burst into the room and glared at the King and his guards. They were tall, human-like creatures with dark gray and brown fur, snouts filled with razor-sharp teeth stained pink, and glowing yellow eyes.
"Where is your magical machine?" the biggest werewolf asks in a gruff voice.
"Why should I tell you? You are invading my kingdom, demanding my machine," the King replied angrily.
"It would be in your best interest if you told us where you keep it," answered the smaller werewolf.
"Right," sniffed the King, "And why do you want it so bad?"
The third wolf stepped up.
"Because this machine can travel through time. If we have power over time itself, we could have power over the entire world."
"The machine is not to be used for one's own gain," the King replied. "It simply does not work that way."
"Then what good is it?" asked the werewolf.
"I only allow the machine to be used to learn from our past mistakes. Not to change, but learn from them," the King explained.
"I can see that is about to change," the big wolf smiled maliciously.
At once, all three werewolves lunged forward to attack the King and his guards. Almost immediately, three guards were killed by the werewolves' sharp claws. The wolves showed absolutely no mercy on the guards. Xander was able to kill one werewolf by stabbing him in the heart with his silver-tipped partisan.
Before the other two werewolves were taken down, one of them had bitten Xander. Instantly, an excruciating pain shot from the bite mark on his forearm to his spine, and up to his head.
The white, hot pain spread through his whole body and continued to get worse. His bones started snapping and reshaping themselves to make him resemble the monstrous creature that did this to him.
Xander grabbed a shield from the ground and looked for his reflection in the metal. His once-sea-green eyes were now glowing and blue, and he now had a snout. Hair started sprouting all over Xander's body, but instead of the hair being brown or gray, his hair was pure white, like snow.
The fighting stopped. The King and guards stared at Xander with looks of confusion, disbelief, and fear. Xander put his hands up in the air to show he meant no harm toward them.
"What happened to me?" Xander asked, starting to panic.
"It would seem you have been bitten by one of those beasts," the King replied sympathetically.
"Yes, so it would seem," said Xander sadly, "Then why do I look so different from the rest of them?"
Only one werewolf remained of the three that attacked them. That werewolf stepped up and hesitantly bowed to Xander.
"'Tis prophesied that a werewolf with fur the color of snow, and eyes the color of the sky it falls from, shall be the ruler of all werewolves," the wolf growled.
Xander was far more confused by this than his very transformation, but he recovered quickly. He looked to the King and remaining guards and nodded. He knew what to do.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to lead these wolves. I will make sure they never cause any more death and destruction my lord, but you must destroy time manipulating machine," Xander said to the King.
"I will destroy it, Xander. The machine seems to do more harm than good most of the time anyhow. Thank you, Xander Grey, for everything you have done for the kingdom and myself. I am so sorry for what has happened."
"My King, thank you for my experience as a guard. I will make the best of my situation, as you will with yours," Xander smiled, a little ironically.
The King destroyed his time machine to avoid future issues. Xander, with some struggle, convinced the werewolves to leave the kingdom for good and never go back. Even as a werewolf, Xander would do everything he could to keep his kingdom safe.

My active duty husband has been gone for well over 1/2 a year. He's missed all the major holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. He's due to come home soon. I'm terrified. Not for my health or safety at all, but for our marriage and sanity.
We haven't fought much at all while he's been gone. There haven't been major conflicts, but dynamics have shifted, kids have grown up and personalities have changed some. I wasn't ever the "meek spouse" that desperately needed him home to accomplish or care for everything.
I'm fiercely independent and proud of it.
I've become even more independent in the last year. I've gotten involved in base activities and I've started a new job and I've become very busy.
My personal interests have changed and my involvements outside the house have grown.
Since he left, it's almost like we're back to being two very separate or different people as opposed to the Biblical "one flesh" of marriage that we strove for.
So now, I'm scared.
He's coming home from deployment, so should I be willing to give my things up now?
Where do I draw the line and say "I need this"?
How do I manage expectations when I know things aren't going to be the way they were when he left?
How do I quell my anxiety so I can just enjoy my husband being home?
Divorce isn't even a word in my vocabulary, but the last year has opened my eyes to why our squadron has a 75 percent divorce rate. How can a family sustain this deployment cycle year after year?
We're on year four, and DH told me to expect at least two more. I can't even imagine who I'm going to be after two more years of this.
Will he know me or I him? We live together only half of our lives. We co-parent only sporadically. He pops in and out of our lives and I'm afraid one of these times he's going to feel like there really isn't a place for him, because I've had to seal all the leaks of our family up while he's gone.
I REFUSE to let us sink, but sometimes the patches I put on the leaky lifeboat bring about dramatic change.
My fear is that when he returns, I will go overboard and grant him everything he asks for and work tirelessly to make him "happy and okay."
…But I won't ask for that same support from him.
Far too often I keep my mouth shut about the small things, and I'm afraid this time that I'll do that until I can't take it anymore and then I'll just blow.
He gave me a list of things he needs from me for a smooth reintegration, but didn't ask a thing about what I needed.
He told me he most certainly doesn't have PTSD so don't treat him as though he does … But he failed to think about whether I've got mom/wife freak out syndrome and have needs of my own that need to be addressed.
He's been away and expects to come home and be catered to. But I don't think he realizes that I've been catering to my kids ALONE for half a year and am relatively close to my breaking point already. Having another responsibility is daunting.
So, what's the solution? The only one I can come up with is talking. Talk, talk, and then talk some more.
He's shared his concerns, so I've got to share mine. I'm responsible for speaking up and making it clear that he's not the only one that has to adjust.
But I'm scared. I'm anxious. I want desperately for him to be home, but I worry so much about the readjustment.
I want to make him happy, but have learned how to find my own happiness and satisfaction and (perhaps selfishly so) don't really want to give that up. I want my family back together, but I'm nervous about the havoc it will, undoubtedly, create.
All part of military life, I suppose. Certainly not easy, though.
C'est la vie. Bring on the power struggle.

How to Wire Lights on a Truck Capby Pheori Wiley
Truck caps, or camper shells, add a sense of style and beauty to a truck as well as offer necessary and welcome functionality. Having a truck cap is a great way to carry around items without getting them wet or dirty or to provide you with a great temporary shelter when camping or traveling. Many of these caps come with lights already installed, but some do not and you will need to know how to do the wiring yourself. Though this may sound complicated, the task is simple enough for just about anyone to do.
Wiring a Truck Cap for an Internal Reading/Light Dome Light
Disconnect the battery from your vehicle; doing this will guard against damage to yourself or your vehicle in case there is a short.
Pull the dome light down from the ceiling inside the cab and strip back a small amount of both of its wires.
Push the ends of a wire quick connect through the edge of the headliner panel.
Solder the wires to the appropriate wires in the truck's dome light.
Replace the dome light into the headliner.
Mount the reading/dome lights in the appropriate locations inside the truck cap using the heavy duty mounting adhesive included in the kit connecting the wires as you go.
Feed the wires through the wire cover tube that came in the kit and then cut down the tube carefully using the heavy duty snips, being careful to not cut the wires.
Mount the wire cover tube to the truck cap using the heavy duty adhesive included in the kit.
Cut and strip a small amount off of each wire and insert the wires into the quick connect which came with the kit, securing each one with a drop of solder.
Open the small window in both the truck's rear window and the pass through window of the truck cap. Clip the joiner cable from the kit into the quick connect on the truck cap and onto the quick connect you installed in the cab of the truck.
Wiring a Truck Cap for a Collision Avoidance High Mount Brake Light
Disconnect the battery from your vehicle; doing this will guard against damage to yourself or your vehicle in case there is a short. Put on the safety goggles before you crawl under the truck to make sure you don't get any dirt or debris in your eyes.
Locate the wiring harness; this should be found on the driver's side of your vehicle. Follow it up to the taillight section of your vehicle.
Locate the green wire on the underside of the vehicle. On some vehicles the color may vary; you will be able to distinguish this wire as it will not be connected to anything else. Many manufacturers place this wire in case you want to wire a trailer into the electrical system.
Strip the end of the wire off and be sure to leave ½ inch of bare wire exposed.
Make a connection point that will connect the two wires together.
Wire the male connector to your truck cap. Use the shrink tubing to fuse the connection in place.
Wire the female connector to the green wire and use the shrink tubing to make sure the wires are securely in place.
Secure the male wiring in place with zip ties that will prevent the wiring from falling when not in use. Secure all wires in place with additional zip ties if needed.
Reconnect the battery to your vehicle. Be aware of any strange smells or popping sounds. Have a friend stand behind the vehicle while you press down on the brake pedal to make sure the light works.

Royals Get Clean Sheet But Still No Win
10 November 2012
By Hob Nob Anyone?
It was yet another disappointing afternoon for the Royals as they failed to secure a Premier League win at the tenth time of asking. The only difference with this latest draw was Reading failed to take the lead first. Instead the Royals failed to score all game, and the positive point will be recording the first clean sheet of the entire season as far. Federici will be happy to make his return and pick up that statistic but in truth Norwich entirely failed to test him.
This was a poor afternoon's entertainment for both sets of fans, with Norwich happy to frustrate Reading and take the point and Reading short of ideas on how to make a breakthrough. The only real chance of the first half saw McCleary have his effort well saved. Reading were marginally improved in the second half but there was still little action of note. Any rare attempt on goal was high or wide or both, with Kebe managing to hit the crossbar in one of the better chances.
John Well's full match report and fan opinion is now available:

The next generation of enterprise IT systems is being crafted in a way that will allow organizations to apply analytics with an eye toward affecting the outcome of a business processes in real time. The challenge with actually making that happen is that it requires IT organizations to stitch together a raft of emerging technologies to create a framework for building and managing a truly digital business.
This week, Decisyon announced the general availability of a suite of applications designed to accelerate that transformation. Decisyon CEO Ron Rose says Decisyon 360 is a suite of integrated applications that injects real-time analytics directly within business processes. Using data gathered from the multiple database silos that exist within every organization, Decisyon 360 allows business managers to more easily collaborate within the context of a very specific business process. Once a course of action is agreed upon, Decisyon 360 then enables business managers to take the next logical step, which is applying those analytics to dynamically optimize that business process. With each iteration of the process, Rose says decision making gets faster and becomes more accurate as the overall quality of the data being analyzed improves.
While providing an application for collaborative decision making (CDM), Decisyon 360 also generates a common metadata model on top of a real-time process engine. That engine leverages Web services and RESTful application programming interfaces (APIs) to dynamically adjust all the applications that might make up a process or workflow.
The ultimate goal of any digital business, says Rose, is to leverage analytics to reduce operational costs by flattening the layers of management needed to effect a business outcome. Of course, many are interested in making that happen, but they have not achieved consensus concerning the best way to actually execute a digital business strategy.
Interest in building truly digital businesses is naturally creating new opportunities for IT professionals. The issue most organizations are facing today is finding a way to make that transition in the simplest, most facile way possible. In that context, Decisyon is making the case for a suite of modular applications that can be deployed at any pace or level the business desires to achieve that goal.

Q: What's Rhode Island's state rock?
A: Doug White's hair.
Doug's hair always seemed unchanging, reliable, friendly and comforting, much like the personality he conveyed on the newscast.
It is with great and genuine sadness that I inform you that Doug White, long time WJAR Channel 10 news anchor has died.

Thanks for being part of our world, and for understanding that the hair joke was out of love.Posted by James at August 15, 2006 8:34 PM
Oh, that's sad. I remember him well long after I moved away from the Rhode Island area.Posted by: Mike at August 15, 2006 10:08 PM

I shall miss having Doug White tell me what's going on in the world.
By the way, according to Bob's mom, she has a friend who either did his hair or knew his hairdresser, and that was really his hair. (I never understood why someone would choose to make his hair look like a toupee.)Posted by: Patti M. at August 16, 2006 8:45 AM
