National CP 4.90% ahead of mid-year projection
NASHVILLE (BP) -- Year-to-date contributions to Southern Baptist national and international missions and ministries received by the SBC Executive Committee are 4.90 percent above the year-to-date SBC Cooperative Program Allocation Budget projection, and 2.40 percent above contributions received during the same time frame last year, according to a news release from D. August Boto, executive vice president of the SBC Executive Committee.
The $100,706,826.63 received by the Executive Committee for the first six months of the fiscal year, Oct. 1 through March 31, for distribution through the Cooperative Program Allocation Budget represents 104.90 percent of the $96,000,000.00 year-to-date budgeted projection to support Southern Baptist ministries globally and across North America. The total is $2,358,588.29 or 2.40 percent more than the $98,348,238.34 received through the end of March 2017.
The Cooperative Program is Southern Baptists' channel of giving through which a local church can contribute to the ministries of its state convention and to the missions and ministries of the Southern Baptist Convention with a single contribution to its state convention.
The convention-adopted CP allocation budget is distributed 50.41 percent to international missions through IMB, 22.79 percent to North American missions through NAMB, 22.16 percent to theological education through the SBC's six seminaries, 2.99 percent to the Executive Committee and SBC operating budget, and 1.65 percent to the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. GuideStone Financial Resources and LifeWay Christian Resources are self-sustaining and do not receive CP funding.
According to the budget adopted by the SBC at its June 2017 annual meeting in Phoenix, if the convention exceeds its annual budget goal of $192 million, IMB's share will go to 53.4 percent of any overage in Cooperative Program Allocation Budget receipts. Other ministry entities of the SBC will receive their adopted percentage amounts and the Executive Committee and SBC operating budget's portion will be reduced to 0.00 percent of any overage.
Designated giving of $117,855,951.19 for the same year-to-date period is 2.41 percent or $2,774,159.15 above the $115,081,792.04 received at this point last year. This total includes only those gifts received and distributed by the Executive Committee and does not reflect designated gifts contributed directly to SBC entities. Designated contributions include the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions, the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions, Southern Baptist Global Hunger Relief and other special gifts.
March's CP allocation receipts for SBC work totaled $15,434,514.61. Designated gifts received last month amounted to $28,893,566.19.
State conventions retain a portion of church contributions to the Cooperative Program to support work in their respective states and forward a percentage to Southern Baptist national and international causes. The percentage of distribution from the states is at the discretion of the messengers of each state convention through the adoption of the state convention's annual budget.
Month-to-month swings reflect a number of factors, including the number of Sundays in a given month, the day of the month churches forward their CP contributions to their state conventions, the percentage of CP contributions forwarded to the SBC by the state conventions after shared ministry expenses are deducted and the timing of when the state conventions forward the national portion of Cooperative Program contributions to the Executive Committee.
CP allocation budget receipts received by the Executive Committee are reported monthly to the executives of the entities of the convention, to the state convention offices, to the state Baptist papers and are posted online at www.cpmissions.net/CPReports.

Gordon Ramsay Steak, Las Vegas
Shortly before the arrival of our main course at Gordon Ramsay Steak in Las Vegas, my wife Kathryn leaned over to me and said, "This has been a very weird experience." She was right. The service had been weird. Quite weird. However, the food was more than worth the weird.
Eating and relaxing in Las Vegas
Our weekend trips to Las Vegas tend to be busy. We usually cram everything we possibly can into the less-than-48 hours we'll be here. Sleep comes only out of necessity. So it's a little weird that I'm starting a new post at 6:20 am, after getting a full night's sleep and then some. I think we were in bed by 9 pm. That's pretty lame.
Great steak dinner in Ljubljana, Slovenia
I had the best meal of my trip this evening here in Ljubljana. I'd walked past a little hole-in-the-wall place with a sign that read "home cooking" several times since yesterday, so tonight I walked in. I don't even know the name of the place.

A big thank you to Laura, Calvin and Tracey for choosing me to be the photographer for the wedding of Calvin and Tracey at Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel, in November.
Calvin and Tracey held their intimate wedding in the 17th century Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel in Birmingham, and this was my first visit to this venue.
A massive well done to their best friend Laura, who doubled up as the wedding planner. I suggested to her that she had a second career in the making! When I went to meet Calvin and Tracey before the wedding, Calvin told me his late father had been a photographer, and having seen some of his work on the wall, was even more appreciative that they chose me and my style for their wedding photography. (His father's work was pretty good!)
Here's a few highlights from the day, hope you enjoy the photos.

By Adam Ashton, Sacramento Bee | California governments likely will make do with fewer teachers, parks employees and other public workers while they struggle to absorb Bouncy Castles For Sale fast-rising pension costs in the next few years, a former state lawmaker argues in a study released this week through Stanford University.
Former Democratic Assemblyman Joe Nation projects that many cities, counties and school districts will double their spending on pensions by 2030, "crowding out" their ability to fund public services.
The trend is an acceleration of the swelling pension costs that most California governments [including Fullerton] have recorded since the dot-com crash in the early 2000s, when pension plans that had been over-funded suddenly had to catch up with investment losses.
"As painful and as steep as these increases have been since 2003, my best estimate is that we are only about half way through these increases," he said. "If you're a public agency and you went from paying $1 million a year to $10 million a year, that's an enormous increase. You're likely to go from $10 million to $20 million by the year 2030."

100% Sauvignon Blanc
EVERYTHING FLOWSThe Greeks knew it as kinesis: the never-ending flow of the world, the ever-becoming of all things. Light and wind, dancing together with the waters, impress themselves upon the earth that bears the vine that yields the cluster, which in turn is transformed into wine, which gifts us pleasure and beauty. In an instant, chaos returns to pure harmony … is this what we call happiness?
VINTAGESummer 2015 was characterized by higher than average temperatures and lack of rainfalls. The weather situation induce us to an early harvest epoch thoughts. The heat, however, did slow the grapes development therefore we had an average harvest's epoch which began on September 1 and ended on October 27. We immediately recognize the potential of an absolutely promising vintage when we saw the grapes quality brought to the cellar. The whites wines show enveloping and caressing fruit features
VINIFICATIONTwelve hour cold maceration in contact with the skin, fermentation in stainless steel, five months on the fine lees.

Ever since my dad and his psychotic girlfriend have been dating (9 years), she beats her child recently, she's been more aggressive and beats her 11 years old son at least once a week.
I've noticed she laughs at him after she beats him, and it gets me really shaken up.
When my dad tries to get in the way and stops her, she gets really mean and defensive and basically says he deserves it. What she will get on top of her son and repeatedly hit him while he screams at her and says, just shoot me in the head.
Then most of the time, she'll call him stupid and useless when she beats him with a belt.
Tonight I confronted her, and she denied "beating her son" while holding a leather belt in her hand. I am wondering if I report this would my dad get in trouble or lose custody?
My birth mom tried really hard to ruin our lives since she is a drug attack and lost custody, and this would just basically help her case.
The only reason my dad is still with her because they co-own a house and mistakenly had a child last May while I also fear for the child that she claims she loves.

It sounds like your dad is trying to protect them so he wouldn't be in trouble at all. I think your step mum needs a lot of help and those children need looking after. You need to report it else it will only get worse.

Grandma Holmes' Confusion – by Melissa McEwen
Grandma Holmes' Confusion
These are the first few paragraphs of a story I wrote two years ago. I am rereading it and laughing at myself and wondering why I wrote this story. I think a sign I saw posted in a closed down gas station sparked the idea.
Grandma Holmes' Confusion
Any other time Grandma Holmes would threaten to beat Mary-Helen if she came running into the kitchen slamming the screen door behind her, but this is the third time today that Mary-Helen let the screen door slam and Grandma Holmes didn't say a word. Not even a "I done told y'all about slamming that damn door!"
Mary-Helen wasn't even worried, either. Usually she'd cover her mouth and say "Oops" while waiting for Grandma Holmes to say something. She knew something wasn't quite right with Grandma, but she wasn't going to go check on her. She was happy to be getting away with something and not being bothered. Grandma could've been dead in her room and Mary-Helen would have went on about her business, playing and running in and out of the house. But Mary-Helen's sister Rosa-Lee knew what it was that was causing Grandma Holmes' change in attitude.
Because this is the fifth time today that Grandma Holmes let something slide. And Rosa-Lee knew of only one thing could make you go from cranky to nice in a heartbeat. She wasn't even making them clean up or nothing and Rosa-Lee knew why that was, and in the middle of the kitchen she told Mary-Helen why, she said, "It's love — simple as that."
And Mary-Helen laughed till she hiccupped, slapped her knee till it hurt.
"She may be in love, but who in their right mind gone be in love with Grandma Holmes?" Mary-Helen said after she was done laughing and hiccupping.

Toxic Thursday: SLS/SLES
Thursday, March 13
What is the difference between SLS and SLES?
SLS is Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, a surfactant used in almost every foaming cleaning product available such as body wash, shampoo, toothpaste and industrial cleaners.
Some companies add Ethylene Oxide to Sodium Lauryl Sulphate to make it less toxic and irritating, and this formes SLES, known as Sodium Laureth Sulphate. This has complications of it's own which I'll discuss further down. They clean by stripping a protective layer of lipids from your skin and remove the dirt trapped there.
Why do people have issues with SLS/SLES?
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is a known irritant, and can cause allergies and eczema in susceptible people. It can cause scalp irritation and itching, as well as a burning sensation and excess dandruff. Many people have issue with the use of SLS in industrial cleaners, and the subsequent use of it on our bodies. Also, SLS is used purposefully as an irritant in animal studies. When researchers need to directly irritate the skin or the eyes of the animal, they use SLS. There are also concerns that SLS reacts with other compounds found in body care products, forming nitrosomines. These are potential carcinogens.
Other concerns around SLS are it's effects on the environment. It's a known pesticide and insecticide, and has been classed as 'inherently toxic to aquatic life' by the Environment Agency in Canada. The producers of SLS recently tried to have SLS allowed as a pesticide in organic farming. This was denied however, due to the detrimental impact this chemical has on the environment and vulnerable life forms.
To reduce the toxicity of SLS, some companies add Ethylene Oxide, which can form a carcinogenic known as 1,4 Dioxane. The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Committee advise against prolonged use of SLES, and the Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease have found that long term skin exposure can cause organ damage (liver & kidneys), tumour growth and cancer. The US Food & Drug Administration have called for the levels of 1,4 Dioxane to be monitored, and the FDA encourage the removal of this compound from products, including cosmetics. It's not a legal requirement however.
In addition to the 1,4 Dioxane, many people believe that SLES causes hair loss over time, and that it reduces the hair growth cycle. These last two points are still speculation, yet Jennifer Disomma, the head of Product Development at L'Oreal, stated that sulphate free shampoos are much gentler on the hair fibre and less likely to cause damage.
So SLS is used in industrial cleaners, and we put it on our bodies?!
Yes. Also the same sodium chloride they industrially spray over concrete in the winter is the same as we put on our food; the same H20 used in any industrial process including oil extraction is the same as in your drinking glass. The use of something 'industrially' does not inherently mean it's bad or dangerous for us. Perhaps what is more concerning is not where SLS is used, but how it actually works. It cleans by corrosion, by stripping away natural oils and leaving the skin open to pollution and dirt from elsewhere. It's true that our bodies can quickly generate a new protective layer, yet we risk upsetting the balance of our bodies' natural cycle, encouraging excess oiliness or dryness where there would otherwise be a natural regulation.
If SLS/SLES are as dangerous as they sound (particularly SLES and 1,4 Dioxane), why are they still allowed in our products?
If something is harmful to us, that is not reason enough for a government to ban use of it. It's why we can buy cigarettes, even though we know without a shadow of a doubt that they directly cause lung and throat cancer, as well as being potentially fatal to those around us. Companies give us information, and we make a choice. Research into cosmetic ingredients is relatively new, and it's going to be a long time before any ingredient has the scientific research behind it for researchers and governments to make any definitive conclusions about it's use in our products.
The argument for and against SLS/SLES is not straightforward, and if the only issue was that they are irritants, then I still think it would be acceptable to use it. I never had issues with scalp sensitivity or irritation, although I definitely cut out SLS/SLES in my products now. For me, it comes down to both SLS/SLES being a harsh synthesised chemical, which disrupts the balance of oils in our skin. It's unnecessary and I feel that it's detrimental to the health of my body. I say I never had any sensitivity or skin issues, but in reality my skin was not perfect. It was oily, congested and spot prone, and as I've switched to an organic skin care routine, my skin has felt for the first time in my life, healthy, balanced and happy. I think many people might have issues caused by SLS/SLES that they think is just normal for them. The links to cancer, particularly with SLES, also concern me - however tenuous they may be. There are so many synthesised chemicals, literally hundreds of thousands, that when researchers and regulators begin to raise concerns about the safety of a couple, I listen up. We all have to do our own research and make our own conclusions. Play your own devil's advocate and bring up every counter argument you can think of.
I struggled for a while to truly see why people avoided SLS/SLES as I thought it was just a marketing tactic. If any of you reading this are the same then I hope this post helps!
Is anyone else not directly affected by SLS/SLES but still cuts them out of their products for similar reasons? I'd love to hear what you think about the argument.

Great post! You've written this so well and its so informative :) I personally avoid SLS because I suffer from eczema and anything I use with SLS causes it to flair up, also with no actual benefits of using it I don't understand why people even still use it :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Ah thanks Amber :) I totally agree, it has zero benefits and plenty of problems, so I'm guessing people just don't know enough about it. Unfortunately I also think a lot of people would rather not know, and avoid the hassle it would bring. It's a shame cause I'm sure there's plenty of people who suffer but don't know why. Hope being SLS free is helping your eczema :) xDelete
Great post, I'm the same as Amber ditch it because of my eczema, once I realised the trouble it causes me I was happy to let it go.ReplyDelete

I certainly have found my eczema and dandruff have certainly improved since not using them.ReplyDelete
Hi Chesca,ReplyDelete
It's great to see conversations like this going on regularly about skincare ingredients and their implications, or otherwise, to the health of our skin. It is a really complex area that we as a professional skincare company are really happy to engage with, it's so important that open dialogue and critical discussion is allowed, we need sensible debates and discussions to cut through the noise of what is becoming a cacophony of wildly differing voices! You balanced and questioning approach is refreshing.
Our advice is to do your own research, look for reliable sources and get to know how to read and interpret the results published from lab studies - they are purposefully designed to establish upper safety limits and beyond, ingredients are commonly used at levels way below than those tested in studies . Knowing your own skin is also important - eczema for example is a complex whole system reaction that can be affected as much by what we're putting into our bodies as what we're putting onto them. If products are left on the skin or hair or are not properly rinsed, this can also be the root of the reactions or irritation. It's the method and application as well as levels that are important.
Thanks again,

Wagyu ( Australia ) beef Shabu 和牛 500 g
Wagyu beef - the breed originates from Japan. It is rumored that the fats in the wagyu beef are good for the brain development and continuous effective brain food.
What I like about wagyu beef is the fragrance it produces when cooked and also it's juicy.
For effectiveness of delivering the beef to you , I am only making frozen sliced wagyu beef available for online purchase.
Normally wagyu beef can be easily defrosted after 30 minutes out of freezer with the packaging un-tampered with.
Since wagyu beef is a luxury food item, the best and easiest way to cook it is Shabu Shabu: dip it in boiling soup base for three seconds and it's ready to serve in your noodle soup.
The soup must have some salty-ness in it in order to bring out the full flavor of the wagyu beef.
Vannamei Quick Frozen Prawn 美人虲 (1 kg)
Vannamei prawn is essentially quick frozen prawn.
How they prepare it: After the prawns are caught at the river, they are quickly put into boiling water to cook it. After cooking, they are frozen straightaway at -18 degree all the way till it reaches the retailer's hands.
How to eat it: After putting it in room temperature for half an hour in the package (unexposed to open air to avoid bacteria in the air), put the prawns in boiling water for five seconds, derail it and you are ready to eat it as a salad dish.
Besides a salad dish, you can also cook it with vegetables or any other Oriental style. Nicely packed in a gift box, a kilo for twenty dollars.
Fresh Pork Shabu Shabu
Fresh pork shabu shabu one kilo pack promotional price at S$18.
This is a good protein source. Enjoy it while you eat - you can put on it on hot plate, rub very little sea salt or your favorite sauce, eat with rice or noodle soup, along with a slice of vegetables on the hot plate.
Animal fats are good for our breaking down and absorbing of vitamins and minerals, that's why you can eat sukiyaki with vegetables and rice or noodles.
Any produce from the ground normally comes with minerals.
这是最佳的组合,把才1mm 厚度的鲜豬肉放在鉄板上自然烹煮。再拿很少许的盐及你超喜欢的沾酱与飯及米粉拌着吃,美味无穷。
Juicy Pork Bun (Xiao Long Bao) 小笼汤包 - Pack of 10
Juicy Pork Bun (Xiao Long Bao) is made from fresh pork and the bun needs lots of skill to make it look nice, made from the right proportion of flour with different elasticity.
The bun needs to be stored at -18 degree to preserve its freshness n shape . Once taken out of freezer, there is no need to defrost.
Steam it for ten minutes and eat together with thin strips of ginger and vinegar to bring out the full flavor of the ingredients inside the bun.
As a delicacy, the fresh juice produced inside the bun has to be kept intact and not leaked out. Thus you need to ensure that the paper (provided inside the packaging) is placed below the bun when it's steamed.
Use a pair of chopsticks to pick up the bun gently and transfer it immediately to a small spoon.

Brian G.
"I can't speak highly enough of Tom and his team at morningtide financial. He was more available than anyone else I've ever dealt with and always made me feel like I was a priority. He was with working with me from beginning to end. From the time I was looking for a house all the way until closing. My situation has changed there's things I was working on and improving and he would check in with me all the time and not once did I feel pressured or rushed like other loan officers and realtors have tried to do. And if he couldn't answer the phone right away he would always get back to me in a timely manner. Or recommend someone for me to talk to. I can't recommend him and his team and anyone that he works with or recommends enough. I talked to a bunch of different realtors and loan officers and he was able to network and get me the best deal through his partners and resources. He also made it clear through his actions, his advice, guidance and words that he was in it for me and looking out for me and my best interests. And when you're making one of the biggest investments in your life, Tom is the guy you want in your corner. Thank you very much Tom. I couldn't be happier that I chose to work with you "
Danielle S.
" Tom and his team helped me purchase my first home as well as refinance twice. He and his team made the process as stress free as possible. I always felt that they would move heaven and earth to not only make everything happen, but also to get me the best possible rate. On top of all of this, I also received the most thoughtful gift after moving into my home. You will be in the best of hands at Morningtide!"
Paul P.
"Tom is extremely knowledgeable, takes the time to explain the mortgage process and helps you feel comfortable during the process. He was very responsive with any questions we had along the way and was always there when we needed. I highly recommend Tom and his team."


text: James Spencer - September 23, 2010 Gunshyness in Gun Dogs: Retrievers By James B. Spencer Mark Henry"Gunshyness," Mark said, "is mostly a man-made problem. It can be caused in many ways, usually involving unexpected loud noises, like Fourth of July fireworks or thunderstorms. It isn't hereditary, although unusually soft dogs are more inclined to it and so require special care to prevent it from starting."Mark especially remembers one gunshy female retriever a client brought to him years ago. The owner had taken this dog, with no previous exposure to gunfire, out in his canoe, had the dog lie down in front of him, and shot ducks over her. The muzzle blast, which was very close to her ears, absolutely terrified her. Mark said it took him a full year of work to get this youngster over her gunshyness. He stressed that it's much easier to avoid gunshyness than it is to cure it. He said that to avoid gunshyness you should introduce your puppy or youngster to gunfire properly, that is, slowly, gradually, and with positive motivation. One way to start is to have someone fire a .22 blank pistol at a distance when the puppy is eating. The pup learns to associate the noise with the pleasure of eating. If he ignores the noise, in subsequent meals, have the shot fired closer and closer to your puppy. Then, too, in later field work, distant helpers fire .22 blank pistols as they throw dummies and birds for the youngster to retrieve. The pooch comes to associate gunfire with the joy every well-bred retriever experiences in retrieving. As long as he reacts positively, you can move the shot closer and closer to your dog. These early pleasant associations give the dog a good attitude toward mild shots, which predisposes him to react positively to shotguns, when introduced gradually.If a client brings him a gunshy retriever, Mark goes back to square one to begin the cure. He takes the dog off all by himself to a place from which the dog cannot bolt. He uses clip-wing pigeons, which can fly for a short distance before landing. He tosses a bird and lets the dog break to chase it. Just as the dog starts to grab the bird on the ground, Mark fires a .22 blank pistol. If the youngster's undisturbed, great! More Tips Don't miss part one of this story with tips for your pointer, here, and part three for your spaniel, here. However, if the youngster refuses to pick the bird up, Mark commands "Fetch" to get him to pick it up."The dog should first be force-fetched," Mark said, "for otherwise, you have no way of making him pick up a bird he has refused."Next, he tosses another bird and lets the dog retrieve it without firing a shot. It may take more than one shot-less retrieve to restore the dog's confidence. But eventually Mark again fires a shot as the dog starts to grab the bird. If the pup ignores the noise, Mark starts firing the shot earlier and earlier until he can safely shoot with the dog quite close to him.Mark's closing thoughts: "For this cure to work, the dog must be very birdy and must love to retrieve. Lacking these qualities, a gunshy dog will probably never be really cured. However, a birdy, retrieve-crazy dog can be cured in two or three weeks, but it takes a lot of birds!"This tip is from Mark Henry of South of Bellevue Kennels, 182 Gannet Road, Bellevue, ID 83313; (208) 788-2820; e-mail email@example.com. Mark has been training retrievers professionally for 29 years. He specializes in training young retrievers in the basics for hunting tests and field trials. He has participated in retriever hunting tests, but now participates mostly in retriever field trials. He does not breed dogs. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Houston Underground
Sicko #4: Wild Dog 'Psychs-Out' with The Flaming Lips at the Axiom (1989)
January 1989
Interview by Henry Wild Dog & Dave Roadhouse
Purveyors of modern psychedelia, the FLAMING LIPS are Norman, Oklahoma's latest & greatest rock export. During their first stay in Houston, we spoke to Wayne Coyne, guitarist & vocalist, outside the AXIOM.
H: The sound tonight, the hard fuzz psych guitar, and the jamming reminded me a lot more of the first record than the other two.
W: We're a lot more psycho live. We get out of hand. We love to play with each other, cuz [sic] we're all into the same thing, just to psycho-out.
D: What would you want everyone to go away with?
W: I wish they would go away after seeing us and know that they can do whatever they want. If they wanna start a band, they can go out and start a band tomorrow. We just do what we want, and that's a lot.
"We're a rock band, we're people who should have no limits. The people who are building nuclear weapons should have limits. But we shouldn't. We should be as creative as we can get…on records we try to present a lot of ideas." – Wayne Coyne

Sicko #2: Houston's Culturcide Plays Amsterdam with Bad Brains (1987)
Culturcide in Europe
The first of Houston's underground bands to play in Europe, Culturcide received a warm welcome from Dutch and Belgium audiences. They landed in Den Hague and went on to play a government-sponsored rock festival in Amsterdam at the Paradisio theatre, with such acts as Bad Brains, Nick Cave, SPK, and many other bands. They also played in Eindhoven, Vin Ray, Nijmegen (Holland) and Ghent and Antwerp in Belgium. Another week of dates in Germany unfortunately fell through, but Culturcide made lots of new contacts and friends in the cities where they played.
They received coverage in the Dutch magazine 007 and Britain's SOUNDS. While in Antwerp, they caught an art-video installation about violence in America which featured Ed Gein and replicas of some of his gruesome "leather" crafts.
Upcoming Culturcide projects include recording their live set for release, tunes like "Pizza Hut," "Death Speaks," "Feeling I Was Gonna Die," "Pass for Normal" and all of their other great songs which until now have been heard by a lucky few. Dan Workman, their guitarist, will do a solo performance at Lawndale as part of the "On the Edge" series on September 26. Be there.

Wild Dog Zine: Pearland New Wavers The Judy's Pack the Island (1981)
Wild Dog: Didn't you debut at a Pearland High School Talent Show?
David Bean (vocals, guitar): It wasn't a talent show, but a school dance. Kinda wild, we blew the circuit & fuse a couple of times. And we threw beef liver and spinach all over a bunch of girls. We threw out the green spinach on "All the Pretty Girls." It was a punk show or something.

Where Were You the Day Punk Died in Houston? (New Year's 1980)
As the curators of Wild Dog Archives reflect on the project's first year of existence nearing the eve of a new year (35 years after the so-called death of punk in Houston), an expression of gratitude is in order for our virtual spectators who have commented on or shared an artifact from Henry Wild Dog's collection and kept the story alive. Here's to 2015 and the hope that the remnants of punk may yet "feed many generations to come."
"At this time a cruel accusation can be heard from many mouths. As much as we might try to persuade ourselves, inspired by the spiral of the punk scene in '79 — the accusation is true. Punk really did die. It died in Houston on January 1, 1980, at exactly 3:47 a.m. Just like Beethoven, idealism, Hendrix, and Disco…Punk would never be heard again." (from PUNX's "History of Houston Punk" series published in 1986)
(Scans courtesy of Wild Dog Archives.)
Wild Dog Records: Teenage Punks Vast Majority Talk Anarchist Sounds (1979)
Houston's youngest band at the start of the scene, Vast Majority recorded its lone studio effort I Wanna Be a Number in March 1980 on Wild Dog Records. Henry Wild Dog, who helped produce the 7″ single, had a brief stint with the band as part of its second lineup. His contribution to gigs at Paradise Island earned him the DIY-inspired handle Henry "Bad Guitar." Original member Scott Telles (vocals and trumpet) recounts the band's history with WDA's namesake on the Hyped 2 Death Archive Series #201.
As verified in an interview with the original members in WILD DOG, the politically motivated teenage punk band performed for the first time alongside AK-47 at Houston's inaugural Rock Against Racism show held on April Fool's Day 1979 at the Island.

Punk Politics, British New Wave, and Really Red at the Island (1979)
In a 1979 review of British new wavers the Tom Robinson Band at the Texas Opry House, WILD DOG zine chronicled a post-show piece of Island performance history when vocalist and bassist Tom Robinson joined original Texas punk legends Really Red on stage for a surprise guest performance.
Robinson, described with TRB as a slick, polished, and mainstream act, plugging Texas hardcore punk at his own performance is a testament to the impact and influence of Really Red, who are considered to be "the backbone" of Houston's underground music scene. The Red/Robinson ensemble, Wild Dog recalled from the audience, "did a surprisingly tight impromptu set of such rock-root numbers as 'Louie, Louie,' 'Waitin' for My Man,' and Jumpin' Jack Flash'.
"Such grassroots support of our scene by such a celeb is not to go unnoticed," Wild Dog underscored. "Robinson is definitely not in it just for the bucks. His guest appearance at Paradise was an encore above and beyond the call."
The political bent of Wild Dog Zine is evident in this review, with a nod to Robinson's activism and support of the Rock Against Racism (RAR) campaign in the UK. In an earlier post, WDA recalled Henry Wild Dog's efforts to organize a Houston RAR concert at the University of Houston, which was cancelled. On April 1, 1979, the original lineup featuring Really Red, Legionaire's Disease, and Christian Oppression performed at the Island, where Vast Majority and AK-47 debuted as part of the effort.
After querying the Island collective, Vince Layton informed WDA that he rode over to the Really Red gig with Robinson following the TRB show, which was, by his and others' account, "great but woefully under attended." A friend of Layton's who worked at Cactus Records, then on S. Post Oak, talked Robinson into going to the Main Street dive. If you attended this show, please consider archiving your experience in the comments section.

[efoods]The government's chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson has said Tamiflu should still be given to children, despite more than half of young recipients who take the drug suffering side effects such as nausea and nightmares.
The drug being used to fight swine flu can also produce stomach pain, diarrhoea and sleeping problems.
Researchers in two studies reported that many children found concentration difficult after taking the drug – which could affect their performance in school tests and exams.
The findings will cause deep concern among parents and raise the question of whether the powerful anti-viral should be handed out so widely when the vast majority of swine flu cases involve only a mild illness.

St. Peter Prince of the Apostles Catholic School, a parish school within the Archdiocese of San Antonio, announces the renewal of this 90 year old community within the Classical Liberal Arts Tradition: A renewed school within a storied tradition—at the heart of the Church. The school seeks teachers to help lead students to wholeness in the image of Jesus Christ. Under the leadership and direction of the Head of the School and under the care of the pastor of the parish, the key duties of the teacher will be: To help instill in students a piety for God and a love of neighbor To participate in a faculty culture of faith and friendship centered on the love of Christ and the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. This culture will be formed through growing in faith, sharing meals and drinks, and participating in seminar discussion on beauitful literature together. To foster joyful order in the classroom and school and help inspire in students a sense of wonder and a delight in learning To form students and call them to virtuous living through the implementation of an intentional discipline policy To teach one or two disciplines to students from among the following: Mathematics, Science, Physical Education, Literature, Art, and Catechesis. Please note that Art and Physical Education positions would involve teaching to K-5 students, as well. To work with school leadership in coaching sessions with the goal of improving in the craft of teaching, especially in the areas of fostering joyful order and employing Socratic questioning Requirements: Applicants must be practicing Catholics in good standing with the Church Teaching experience (whether parochial, charter, or private) is beneficial but not required A knowledge of the discipline you are teaching A committment to the liberal arts approach to education and a humble but unapologetic desire to joyfully pass on the fullness of the Faith and the treasures of Western culture to the young is an absolute necessity This renewal effort will require a kind of missionary zeal.

Mike Strick, Republican candidate for the District 84 state House seat, is excited about the election, which has been a long journey for him.
"It's kind of exciting," Strick told the DuPage Policy Journal. "I can't believe it's coming to an end. Since I started walking in May, I've knocked on almost 8,000 doors now. The message is resonating. My opponent (state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego) is pulling out all the stops. I think she sent out 10 or 12 mailers already. A lot of my yard signs, which I call soldiers, are still in people's yards. That's always a good sign."
Another good sign to Strick and, maybe to Illinois, is the number of registered voters eagerly waiting for their voices to be counted this election. There are nearly 7.99 million registered active voters, the highest since 1970.

Strick said he is glad that voters are turning out, especially in light of the scandals plaguing this election cycle.
"It's exciting news," Strick said. "Unfortunately, we don't know which way (voters) are leaning, but the election is critical to our state and to our nation. I'm fascinated at to how much or how little the conversation has been regarding the Democratic candidate (Hillary Clinton) and her email problems, health problems and everything else. I really believe that the people of Illinois are standing up, and they like the messages that the Republican candidates have."
Strick said the surge in voter registrations is a good sign.
"They want to tell the Establishment that we are fed up with what is going on," Strick said. "That could even be related to (Illinois House Speaker) Mike Madigan (D-Chicag) and his cohorts and how they are destroying Illinois day by day. It's becoming a real issue."
An issue the state may face with the high number of voters is voter fraud. Kankakee County is already investigating allegations of voters voting outside their county and solicitation of bribes for votes. An Iowa woman was just arrested for voting twice.
Strick said instances of voter fraud are a shame, which is why he thinks polling stations should check IDs.
"It's disheartening," Strick said. "That's why I believe we need to have voter ID from people going (to vote). It's not disenfranchising because most people who need to get to the polls have to get there by driving, or if people are living in assisted areas, like assisted living centers, they have to have some form of identification. I see there is a real problem, and I don't really see any disenfranchisement going on. People who walk into a polling station, anywhere…most people are happy to pull out their wallets and show their ID."
Strick said he's against the current policy of checking signatures against a database of registered voters.
"People's signature changes over time," Strick said. "If I looked at my signature when I was 16 years old or 18 years old on my driver's licenses, and if you look at my signature now, there is a marked difference. You get older, your hand becomes slower and your signature looks even worse. I really believe that we need to show some kind of identification when voting. That would be my biggest suggestion."
Strick said showing some form of identification, whether or not it is an ID card, for verification would root out voter fraud.

text: A North Haven man is facing burglary and larceny charges after stealing a motorcycle from the garage of a Rock Road residence. On 05/09/2015 at approximately 10:00 a.m., a Rock Road resident discovered that his motorcycle had just been stolen from his garage. The resident began to look around and encountered a passing jogger. The jogger had observed a subject pushing a motorcycle down the street and went back to check. Another person walking down the street had observed a male subject pushing the motorcycle behind a garage on Arrowhead Road. The jogger confronted the subject, later identified as 18-year-old Shawn Hammond, near the garage and engaged in a foot chase with Hammond toward Rock Road near Montowese Elementary School. Several parents in the area for a soccer game, helped stop Hammond and hold him down until police arrival. Shawn Hammond was charged with Burglary in the Third Degree and Larceny in the Fifth Degree. He was held on a $5,000.00 bond pending an appearance in Meriden Superior Court.

A controversial animal whenever it wanders into urban areas, the coyote is a natural predator, and importantly, not above scavenging from garbage bins. The controversy stems from its very occasional run-ins with people's pets, particularly when the pets are left outside at night, and even rarer accounts of attacks on people. However, the coyote's role as a villain is largely undeserved, and any late-night walk where the noise of the city is punctuated by the howls of the city's largest predator is an exhilarating experience for any urban wildlife watcher.
When can you see them? Year-round
Best place to see them? West of High Park
With an ability to reach speeds of up to 322 kilometers per hour, the Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal on the planet. Originally found nesting on cliff edges, the roofs of skyscrapers have become the perfect modern habitat for this urban-dwelling hunter. In Toronto, they feed almost exclusively on pigeons, so next time you're out and about in the city, it's a good idea to take the time to look up in the hope you'll see one in full flight.
When can you see them? Year-round
Best place to see them? Financial District and Garden District
With the wearing of fur becoming increasingly unpopular (thank goodness), mink numbers have been growing across Canada over the past ten years. With Toronto's numerous waterways and ravines, the habitat is well suited to this intelligent mustelid (the same family as the beaver). Feeding primarily on fish and small crustaceans, the mink is a great indicator of water quality across the city, keep your eyes peeled next time you're by a stream in the hope of seeing one hunting.
When can you see them? Year-round
Best place to see them? Toronto Island
No list of animals to see in Canada is ever complete without the beaver. Canada's national animal thrives in the green waterways that Toronto has to offer, and it is always a thrill to see one swimming. With their largely nocturnal lifestyle, Toronto's beavers are able to survive well and relatively undisturbed in an urban environment. The tell-tale signs that you're in part of the city with a beaver population is the metal wire around the bottom of trees in an attempt to stop them gnawing through the bark.
When can you see them? Year-round
Best place to see them? High Park
Another keen hunter on this list, the Double Crested Cormorant is a daily sight for those who live near the lake. Over the spring and summer, they arrive in vast numbers, and the sight of them coming into roost in V-shaped formations over Lake Ontario is an urban wildlife spectacle comparable to any on the planet. With over 10,000 breeding pairs in the Greater Toronto Area, the Cormorant is easy to see and impossible not to enjoy.
When can you see them? Late spring through to fall
Best place to see them? Tommy Thompson Park
This majestic bird has become an increasingly common winter visitor to Toronto. With rodents in high number in urban areas, even in the winter, the snowy owl has become a coveted site for birdwatchers across the city. Often heard before they are seen, their unmistakable hooting will have you desperately searching for even the briefest glimpse.
When can you see them? Late fall through to spring
Best place to see them? Downsview Park
Urban areas are well-known havens for scavengers, but the site of a deer on this list is altogether more surprising. However, the fact that the White Tailed Deer is able to live in Toronto is an example of superb city planning to benefit urban wildlife. At about one meter at the shoulder and weighing up to 100 kilograms, it is the largest mammal in Toronto, but also the most elusive.
When can you see them? Year-round
Best place to see them? Don Valley Trail
The Northern Cardinal is a bird that, once seen, is impossible to miss again. Its feathers are a brilliant red, and it possesses a large and powerful bill for breaking into tough seeds, as well as producing a wonderful 'cheer cheer cheer' song. The best thing for any wildlife lover is that you don't even have to spend too much time searching for them because they are a frequent visitor to anyone with a bird feeder.

Luke is five months old!
And, he sure loves chewing on his 'Sophie Girl,' as Noah calls it.
Luke finally rocked hard enough to roll himself over. He's done it a couple of times but seems content to just roll onto his side and grab his toes.
He also slept through the night -- a few times. But he's pretty much decided for now that acting like a big boy is totally overrated and is back to waking sometime around 4:30 or 5.
There are few things better than starting off the day with a happy, kicking, smiling baby. I love going in to get my boys in the morning.
You'd think with all of the chewing and drooling that this guy is teething, but nothing yet. He can fit all four fingers in his mouth, but usually just goes for two. If he's awake and not eating, it seems like those hands are always in his mouth. Luke's also pretty happy that after reaching down and discovering his feet, he's got something else to keep him occupied.
He tried out the swing for the first time when we visited this really huge and amazing park in Rocklin and took the whole thing very seriously.
And speaking of being serious, this guy definitely can balance all of those smiles with a straight face.

The National League looks as strong as ever, with as many as 12 of the 15 teams planning to contend in 2019.
The Cubs had a quiet winter, transactionally speaking, but almost every other team in the NL bolstered their roster this offseason.
But expectations haven't changed at the corner of Clark and Addison. After a disappointing finish to 2018, Kris Bryant and Co. once again have their sights set on another World Series.
With that, let's take a look at all of the teams that could stand in the way of the Cubs getting back to the Fall Classic:
Los Angeles Dodgers
2018 record: 92-71, 1st in NL West
Offseason additions: A.J. Pollock, Russell Martin, Joe Kelly, Brad Miller
Offseason departures: Manny Machado, Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Alex Wood, Brian Dozier, Yasmani Grandal, John Axford, Ryan Madson, Daniel Hudson
X-factor: Clayton Kershaw's health
This still an incredibly talented team even if Kershaw never throws a pitch in 2019, but that obviously would make their road to another division title much more difficult.
Kershaw has a shoulder issue that leaves his short-term future in doubt and certainly no pitcher wants to start out the year with an injury like this that could linger. He's about to turn 31 later this month and has only averaged 27 starts the last five seasons, topping 30 starts just once.
The southpaw is still one of the best pitchers in the game, but he looks a whole lot more human than he used to. 2018 was the first time he failed to average more than a strikeout per inning since 2013 and notched fewer than 10 wins for the first time since 2009.
There's still so much pitching depth on this team (even without Kershaw, big-league ready arms like Julio Urias, Brock Stewart and Caleb Ferguson could all start the season in the minors), but the 3-time Cy Young winner remains their most important player.
Projected lineup
1. A.J. Pollock - CF
2. Corey Seager - SS
3. Justin Turner - 3B
4. Cody Bellinger - RF
5. Max Muncy - 1B
6. Chris Taylor - 2B
7. Joc Pederson - LF
8. Austin Barnes - C
Projected rotation
1. Hyun-Jin Ryu
2. Walker Buehler
3. Rich Hill
4. Kenta Maeda
5. Ross Stripling
The Seager return is huge for the Dodgers and you can look at it as something of an offseason addition given he played just 26 games in 2018. When he's been on the field, the 24-year-old shortstop is one of the best all-around players in baseball and he's now expected to be healthy after surgeries on his elbow and hip this winter.
A healthy Justin Turner would also be a big boost, as he missed 60 games a year ago. Pollock was a nice addition, but he fits in among the Dodgers' stars in that he also has not been able to stay off the disabled list (now injured list) recently. But he's still a great option as a leadoff hitter and centerfielder when in the lineup.
Even with all the purging of depth and star power this winter, the Dodgers still have an awful lot of talented players. They probably won't miss guys like Wood, Puig, Dozier or Kemp much and Seager's return helps make up for the loss of Machado in free agency. The same can be said of the trade for Russell Martin, replacing the departed Grandal.
It's going to be very interesting to see how manager Dave Roberts maneuvers the lineup to get playing time for everybody, but he has plenty of options at his disposal, especially if top prospect Alex Verdugo is going to be in the big leagues all year.
The bullpen could still be a bit of a question mark, especially if Kenley Jansen has more health problems with his heart issue. He's one of the best relievers in the game and the Dodgers are adept at getting the most out of under-the-radar pitchers in the bullpen. But there are definite concerns about how good Joe Kelly will be (even after an awesome postseason run with the Red Sox) and the arms at the back of the bullpen.
Still, the Dodgers are so talented, so well-run and so deep this team should once again be the class of the NL West and very well may be the class of the entire NL. Who knows if they'll make it to a third straight World Series, but that would not be even remotely shocking if that's how 2019 played out.
Prediction: 1st in NL West
