In the Name of God, the All-Merciful, the All-Compassionate.
Salaam, and salutations to Mercy unto the entire creation, Prophet Mohammad (SAWA), his Infallible Ahl al-Bayt, and upon all other divine messengers, including the Virgin-born Messiah, Welcome to a special feature on the occasion of the start of the New Year of the Gregorian Calendar which Christians associate with the Prophet Jesus (PBUH), whose teachings they claim to follow.
It is God Almighty the Creator of the Universe Who has sent an unbroken chain of Prophets for the guidance of human societies ever since the creation of the first pair of mankind, Adam and Eve. Through them, God revealed heavenly scriptures that preach virtue and belief in the fundamental principles of monotheism and justice.
Over a millennium ago, prior to its launching of the Crusade Wars on the Muslim World, Christian Europe attempted to attribute certain undesirable characteristics to the Prophets, in pursuit of its vicious objectives. This stemmed from the ancient Roman and European worship of a pantheon of idols where the various gods have sons, daughters and children. This absurdity found its way into Christianity with the coning of the weird concept of trinity by Paul, a Hellenized Jew, who is considered the real founder of Christianity, when the fact of the matter is that Prophet Jesus (PBUH) never claimed he was a godson.
If we closely scrutinize the teachings of Jesus, despite the fact that the various versions of the Christian gospels have been distorted beyond recognition over the centuries, we discover the reality of the message of the Messiah, who preached peace, brotherhood, social justice and gave tidings of the Last and Greatest Messenger to come after him. Researchers in the West are beginning to admit this fact. Recently, German psychologist Karl Jaspers in his book titled "The Messiah" has said: The gist of the message of Jesus is that he has foretold of the coming of the last and greatest Prophet after him, which could still be found in the sacred books of Judaism and Christianity.
In the version of the Gospel according to St. John, Prophet Jesus (PBUH) explicitly speaks of the coming of the "Paraclete" after him. This is mentioned in chapter 14, verse 16 of John's Gospel, as well as in other chapters and verses. The present English language version has translated the word "Paraclete" as "Comforter".
David Benjamin Keldani, has pointed out that original Greek word used in the early translations of the Gospel of John was "Periklytos", which means "Illustrious", or "Praiseworthy", and which rendered into Arabic means "Ahmad". This is the exact equivalent of the Aramaic and Hebrew word "Hmda" used by Jesus for the Prophet to come after him, and which the holy Qur'an has mentioned in ayah 6 of Surah Saff. This is indeed a clear reference to Prophet Mohammad (SAWA).
In view of these facts, later Christian writers replaced the word "Periklytos" with "Paraclete", in order to mislead people and prevent them from finding the truth. It is also worth noting that when Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) sent the letter to Negus the Christian king of Abyssinia (present day Ethiopia), inviting him to accept the truth of Islam, he exclaimed: By God, He is the same Prophet whom the People of the Book are waiting for.
Prophet Jesus (PBUH) severely reprimanded the Israelites for their distortion of the laws of Prophet Moses, and their turning of the synagogues into dens of corruption where usury and all other prohibited acts used to take place. He invited people to the worship of the One and Only God and never claimed that he was godson. He censured the Israelites for drifting away from the message of the Torah and misinterpreting its verses, Ayah 63 of Surah Zukhruf of the holy Qur'an, which has preserved the original words of Jesus, quotes him as saying:
"I have certainly brought you wisdom, and [I have come] to make clear to you some of the things that you differ about. So be wary of Allah and obey me."
Thus, as is evident, like Prophet Mohammad (SAWA), the Messiah campaigned against oppression and injustice. He forbade fornication, adultery, cheating, telling lies, coveting the properties of others, usury, trespassing, violence, murder, unveiling of women, hypocrisy, associating partners with the One and Only God, and all evil acts, which are unfortunately widely prevalent in the western societies, despite their claim to be Christians. This means, the West is totally alienated from the true message of Jesus (PBUH), which is found only among Muslims, and has been preserved by Islam.
Prophet Jesus (PBUH), like all other messengers of God was honest, sincere, truthful, pious, righteous, just, spotlessly pure, courageous, and deeply engrossed in the worship of God. It means God protected him from all blemishes and ensured his infallibility. We find these same characteristics in the Last and Greatest of Messengers, Prophet Mohammad (SAWA), regarding whom ayahs 2 to 4 of Surah Najm say:
"Your companion has neither gone astray, nor gone amiss"
"Nor does he speak out of desire:"
"It is just a revelation that is revealed [to him]"
To be brief, the goal of the message of the Prophets is to ensure peace, prosperity and justice in the transient life of this world, and guarantee salvation in afterlife. That is the reason, through them God gave laws to the human societies, so that they will not follow the whims and deception of Satan to coin absurd laws of their own, as is the case with the secular societies and the weird system of liberal democracy, which is actually rebellion against God and violation of the teachings of Jesus (PBUH).
In the version of the Gospel according to St Matthew, verse 7 of Chapter 5, quotes Jesus as saying: "Do not think that I have come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill."
This is corroborated by the holy Qur'an, in which God says in ayah 48 of Surah Ma'edah, while addressing Prophet Mohammad (SAWA):
"We have sent down to you the Book with the truth, confirming what was before it of the Book"
Hopefully, on the start of the New Gregorian Calendar Year 2013 – which definitely has no connection with the Messiah but was adopted by the Catholic Church in 1582 – the Christian World would wake up from its deep slumber to contemplate on these facts for the sake of peace and justice on our Planet, where life has become intolerable because of unchristian policies of the US and certain West European regimes. It is the path of the Prophets that leads to universal brotherhood and not the devilish designs of the Zionists, those avowed enemies of Jesus (PBUH) and the Virgin Mary (PBUH).

"Far be it for us to repeat the mistakes of the past. For the sake of avoiding Keynes for the second time since the 1930s, we are ready for Greece to become overrun by Golden Dawn. We have outsourced fascism this time. So that's okay."

Again, Tim, I don't hear that anything really Keynesian is anywhere on anybody's table. As for the whole Golden Dawn thing, I'd need a bit more background than either you or Krugman are providing.

The first comic book version of the revolutionary multiplatform storytelling franchise, DARK PROPHET "The Light Exposing Darkness," premiered at Comic-Con 2014 to rave reviews. The preview issue garnered press from The Insider social media correspondents, CultSPIN and TME. Evette Vargas, writer of the comic book and the co-founder of Digital-Reign, along with other producers of the series, attended the popular convention. The DARK PROPHET comic was so well received by attendees and participants alike, that it launched the multiplatform franchise into several directions, including a highly anticipated, upcoming live event. Series star Chase Fein, main cast members and celebrities will be in attendance. The event is scheduled for November to celebrate the successful kickoff of the series. The unprecedented success has attracted the likes of Samsung, Red Bull and other heavyweight sponsors. The event will also celebrate the launch of the first official issue of the comic book, which premieres in October.
DARK PROPHET, the original digital series, starring Henry Rollins (Sons of Anarchy, Black Flag, Rollins Band) and rising star Chase Fein (Suburgatory), premiered on Launch TV Network in June to 85 million subscribers. The digital series will continue to charm its audience in 2015 on Launch TV, beginning the first season with ten episodes. This Sci-Fi Action Thriller has been mounting accolades since it premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival Indie Filmmakers Lounge. The series was in contention for two 2014 TV Academy Emmys in the Interactive category, won an NBC/Universal Production Award and was an official selection at the WGA Writer & Director Showcase.
Digital-Reign, DARK PROPHET's production company, partnered with Keyframe-Entertainment to produce the comic book as their first joint venture. Vargas is not only the writer of the comic book and the co-founder of Digital Reign, she is the franchise's Creator, Writer, Director and Exec Producer. Julian Reyes, founder of Keyframe-Entertainment, is the Associate Producer of the DARK PROPHET comic book.

DARK PROPHET is a present day Sci-Fi Action Thriller written & created by Evette Vargas. DARK PROPHET is the story of gifted music student Dai Shepherd, who discovers top secrets hidden in the binary codes of songs, and then finds himself framed for his girlfriend's murder. To find her killer and save civilization, Dai must stop Black Box, the rogue Intel agency that planted the secrets, from triggering the cyber-intelligence takeover of the planet. Viewers can expect the intricate plots of The Matrix paired with the high-paced action of 24 with references to current real-world cyber intelligence leaks.

How often do two running backs from the same team rush for more than 200 yards in a single game?
ANN ARBOR ? How often do two running backs from the same team rush for more than 200 yards in a single game?
Monroe?s Stephen Blunt and Dathan Dickerson accomplished that rare feat Friday night as the Trojans pulled away from Ann Arbor Skyline 44-28.
Blunt accumulated 219 yards on 16 carries and had touchdown runs of 59, 13 and 19 yards. Dickerson was the workhorse of the two with 29 carries for 202 yards. He had TD runs of 24, 5 and 2 yards and also had three conversion runs.
?Our offensive line did a real nice job,? said coach Eric Redmond. ?Both of those backs ran really hard. It was nice to see.?
Both teams entered the game with 2-1 records. Monroe led only 29-22 at halftime.
?We talked at halftime about how we needed to get up by another score. We did what we needed to do in the second half by possessing the ball and running the clock,? Redmond said.
Defensive standouts included Tyler Kellems who had an interception, cornerback Logan Harris on coverage, Steven Deyarman and Gage VanWasshenova who had two more sacks.

People kept telling me having the hysterectomy would be the best thing and how much better I'd feel afterwards. I find myself questioning everything now….. Just to recap I had a hysterectomy in January.
I was recovering okay then about two weeks after the MONO hit. It took some time to sort things out and get diagnosed. Thanks to me joking with steven and my dr's "might as well" attitude we were all slightly relieved to have mono diagnosis. I had some lidocaine shots for my nerve pain from the surgery- basically, I'm a big girl and a lot of "pulling and tugging" had to be done resulting in some lasting pain. Was set up to see a pain specialist but the appointment was cancelled due to the mono and will be rescheduled when we figure out what's happening.
A few weeks later I started passing out during a "migraine". Then came the numbness and tingling, more fatigue, blurry vision, arms face and legs felt like pins and needles. My blood pressure had been high and out of control since surgery. Good news is it wasn't stroke or heart-related.
Since January I have seen multiple ER doctors, gynos, internal medicine, had infectious disease drs looking at my charts, neurologists and what feels like every test in the book- except the one MRI I actually need. Due to my anxiety we have had three failed attempts. Weight limits have prevented us from getting one with sedation sooner- even after stating we could go anywhere in the state.
So now we wait until May 2nd Meanwhile everything is just getting worse.
I can't drive, can't work, some days can hardly take care of myself. Showers are torture, walking to the elevator feels like I'm climbing a mountain. I can't even begin to mention the depression and emotional side of things. My therapist challenged me to make a list of things I could do to make myself happy or feel better without too much pain. My first answer was eating but honestly, if I am hungry it doesn't bring joy anymore just stomach issues so I said I guess I could blog.
I've been trying to write. Trying to function and explain what's going on without constant complaining. People who are close to me and actually know the extent of what I'm feeling are all out of answers and ideas.
People keep asking how I'm doing. My honest answer is I'm still breathing- I'm still here- I'm attempting to get out of bed every morning- I'm trying! My answers are usually followed by frustration- why can't they figure out what's wrong- when will it stop- work work work work work- money money money- exercise and it will get better- maybe it's this- maybe it's that- just force yourself out of bed land my favorite maybe it's just your depression.
It's not just my depression. My psychiatrist, therapist, and primary Dr are at least all in agreement on that one. (Thank you blood work. Something is physically wrong. They just aren't sure what. I have good days and bad days. I can cook and clean and venture out with steven or my mom one day yet can't move or hold my eyes open the next, some days are just better than others.
So for the time being I'll just keep on truckin until we figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. I want Sarah back…..

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Tuesday that the Nassib crossing with Syria would reopen once an agreement is reached on all necessary arrangements.
After meeting with his Lebanese counterpart Gebran Bassil in Amman, Safadi said that technical committees between the two countries which began talks in the middle of September were still working out the practical arrangements.
"The border will open after the technical committees end all the necessary arrangements and measures needed to guarantee opening the borders serves the common interests of the two countries," he added.
Syrian government retook the crossing from terrorists last July.
Bassil in his visit to Amman lobbied Safadi for a speedy reopening, saying it would be a step towards stability in Syria.
"There is big hope that Nassib opens soon so that traffic goes back to its former strength," Bassil told reporters.

Brook Lopez, Stanford, 7-0½: Skilled, crafty player with many athleticism issues.
Kosta Koufos, Ohio State, 7-0: Has answered questions with series of strong workouts.
Robin Lopez, Stanford, 7-0: Brook's brother draws Anderson Varejao comparisons.
Roy Hibbert, Georgetown, 7-2: Upside has been reached; could excel in the halfcourt.
DeAndre Jordan, Texas A&M, 6-11: Raw talent has fallen from initial lottery projections.
Of note
Many draft boards have France's Alexis Ajinca ranked higher than the domestic alternatives, with Croatia's Ante Tomic and Turkey's Omer Asik other imports who could displace NCAA centers in the draft.
As a group
There is no Greg Oden, no franchise center in this draft. Rather, it is a group of supporting players, many of whom are lacking either on the boards, defensively or when it comes to post-up play.
Michael Beasley, Kansas St., 6-8¼: Considered the most talented player in the draft.
Kevin Love, UCLA, 6-9½: A skilled big man who lacks top-tier athleticism.
Joe Alexander, West Virginia, 6-8¼: A wildly athletic prospect who has surged of late.
Anthony Randolph, LSU, 6-10¼: Needs his body to catch up with impressive skill set.
Danilo Gallinari, Italy, 6-8: Dirk Nowitzki comparisons appear to be a stretch.
Marreese Speights, Florida, 6-10: Build could make him better in NBA than college.
Donte Green, Syracuse, 6-9: A scoring talent who may only be good, not great.
Darrell Arthur, Kansas, 6-8½: A combo forward, but not dominant at either spot.
Jason Thompson, Rider, 6-11: Small-college prospect has been on the rise recently.
JaVale McGee, Nevada, 7-0: Workouts have taken toll, as has an overstated game.
Of note
Beyond Gallinari, the draft is loaded with quality foreign prospects at the forward positions, including Serge Ibaka from the Congo and Nicolas Batum from France. The question is whether teams will take the gamble, based on recent returns on such investments.
As a group
Many of the draft's forwards are limited, with most bringing skill sets that make them specialists rather than future stars. It is one of the reasons Beasley has so distanced himself from other frontcourt options.
Derrick Rose, Memphis, 6-2½: Premier playmaker from this year's class.
O.J. Mayo, Southern Cal, 6-4: Can shoot and score, but is he a playmaker?
Jerryd Bayless, Arizona, 6-3: Prototypical NBA scoring point guard.
Russell Westbrook, UCLA, 6-3½: Offers quality mix of size, handle, defense.
Eric Gordon, Indiana, 6-3¼: Undersized shooter who is not a point guard.
D.J. Augustin, Texas, 5-11½: The annual debate over how small is too small.
Brandon Rush, Kansas, 6-6: Can step in and play, but is there upside?
Courtney Lee, Western Kentucky, 6-5: A shooter whose work ethic is unquestioned.
Mario Chalmers, Kansas, 6-1: Perhaps not a starter, but can run the offense.
C. Douglas-Roberts, Memphis, 6-7: A quality slasher who should find a way to score.
Of note
Despite his NBA-quality outside shooting, Tennessee's Chris Lofton could find himself undrafted. Just for sheer perseverance he deserves a shot in some team's summer league, considering the way he persevered this past season while battling testicular cancer.
As a group
This draft is particularly strong on point guards, but many will have to make the transition from primary scorer. As Ben Gordon has shown with the Bulls, an undersized shooter has difficulty creating a defined NBA role.

It's something The Dude says a lot. When he says it, it has the tone of blah, blah, blah, whatever, Mom. My usual response is "No, you don't know."
I've realized, however, that it's a phrase I say a lot myself. When I say it, the intention is to connect. "Yes, I agree with what you are saying. We have a shared experience, a commonality." I've begun to believe, however, that my "I know" has the opposite effect.
Knowing things has always been my stock in trade. I landed on the "I'm smart" square, and camped out for the long haul. To keep my place, I read and study and explore. I'm only human, however. I cannot read, study and explore everything. The scope of what I do not know is enormous. For a smart woman I'm pretty stupid.
The truth is, no, I don't know, and not embracing that idea is probably one of the greater sources of my disconnection.
I used to interview people for a living. I'd sit down with them, and get them to talk to me about shampoo, or their car, or what's hiding in the back of their closet. They told me so much more, however. They told me about their fears, and their secret wishes, and stuff they are both proud and ashamed of. My clients would ask me how I did it. How did I get them to tell me such personal information? Especially since I said so little.
Because I said so little.
People told me things because I was listening. Sure I'd share some details about myself along the way to honor the reciprocity of conversation, but mostly, I offered commentary to show that I was hearing and registering what they'd said. I can tell you for sure, I never would have said "I know."
Ironically, the best way to be part of the conversation might just be to shut the eff up. You know what I mean?

I fight the loneliness, but yet I want to hide in my cave. I fight the hurt and pain, but yet I can't feel. I want to love and care, but I've been so hurt that those things feel like sharpened swords flying towards me at high speed.
Depression saddens me, but it is my friend. Depression is horrible, but at this moment it feels like my solace. Depression shades everything around me and distorts all that I see. Depression saddens me. Depression hurts me.
I see the happy thoughts and I hear the battle cries from all those around me. The thoughts and cries seem wonderful, if only I didn't live in this darkened world. I'm reminded of the simple steps to think differently and change my life, but I'm forever chained by depression.
I get up each day, fighting and hoping that things will be different. I get up each day hoping that depression will have vanished in the night. I get up each day just hoping and wishing and begging that this will have been one horrible nightmare last night.
Depression sucks. Depression is horrible. Depression is like chains that bind you to the point of living a life unlike the one you desire.
I so badly want to flee depression. I so energetically try to flee depression. Yet, as I look behind me, I see depression pushing me forward.
Why can't I just stop and punch it in the face? Why can't I just stop and obliterate it so that it never follows me again.
Why, I ask?

I'm going to start off this post with what should be the last narcissistic post (after my giant headshot in the last post.) But at least I don't have a Twitter right? I'll never get into that boat. I promise. But I mean I really liked shooting this wedding because I genuinely had a lot of fun. I'm progressively having more and more fun at my weddings! I love my job. So at this wedding they had the coolest photo booth I have ever seen, both inside and out. And it prints out your photos..instantly! I was in awe! Here I am going around from table to table lugging my equipment around trying to organize a bunch of drunk and food-coma-fied guests to take some photos with the bride and groom as efficiently as possible, then there's this machine (photo booth) that everyone runs to voluntarily all giddy and stuff. I couldn't compete with this machine that sits in the corner of the reception. So I figured if I can't beat it, I'll join it
Props to the four entrepreneurs of the photobooth ( cubethemoment.com ) Check it out.
In the photo below are me and Serena of serenagrace.com . I had the honor and privilege of second shooting for this talented and fun (can you tell?) photographer. We had so much fun taking photos, and having our photo taken! If I may say, we made a pretty good team. We both managed to arrange literally hundreds of people for the family/friend formal photos and take their photo in probably half an hour easy! That's a record.
Alright, so here are some of the photos I took at the wedding, since i was only second shooting I don't have many of the more important photos that a first shooter would.
Meet Charles and Angela! It's cliche to say are really nice and easy to work with, but they really were nice and easy to work with. And I love that.

Nifty Forms DOJI Suggesting Indecisiveness, Go Long Only If It Closes Above 9941
Last Trading Session: Indian Stock Market opened flat for the day. EquityPandit predicted that further downfall would be seen in the market and traders should hold short positions for now. EquityPandit also predicted that downfall is open upto 9800 levels for Nifty where its next support exists and exactly same happened. Indian Stock Market fell down sharply and saw lows at 9813 for Nifty near its support and rebounded from there. BankNifty also saw lows right near EquityPandit's predicted support levels of 24015 like a dot. Finally, bulls managed to recover the index fully and closed flat for the day.
Today: Indian Stock Market to open flat with positive bias. Technically, Indian Stock Market is still in negative zone. Indian Stock Market rebounded from day lows in last trading session and bulls were able to take the index near its opening levels forming a DOJI candlestick pattern. This suggest a strong fight between bulls and bears, creating indecisiveness in the trend. Now, Nifty needs to close above 9941 levels to again resume its positive trend but until then bears would have an upper hand. Market would see some relief rally (positive movement) after 6 days of continuous downfall but if Nifty is not able to hold above 9892 levels in next trading session then further downfall would be seen that may take market near to 9785-9740 levels in days to come. Once Market closes above 9941 levels for Nifty and 24361 levels for BankNifty then traders can close all short positions and initiate fresh long positions but until then traders should remain cautious.
FIIs were net sellers of Rs.1915.54 crores whereas DIIs were net buyers of Rs.1537.10 crores in cash market for last trading session. Nifty would see strong support at 9812-9785-9740 whereas strong resistance would be seen at 9892-9918-9931-9950 levels. Since, EquityPandit's support and resistance levels always meet accuracy; hence traders are suggested to follow them for good profits.

Important Dates
Governments around the world are trying to improve methods how to integrate citizens in the public decision making processes. They aim to introduce new methods to broaden the scope of involved citizens as well as to encourage those previously less eager to participate, such as younger generations. In governing urban development, participation has been long encouraged and organized especially related to urban planning. Especially in that field, the penetration of mobile and wearable devices with their manifold features to interact with real-world surroundings provides new opportunities to collect citizen input directly from particular sites and on the go.
The 2nd International Workshop on Pervasive Participation (PerPart 2015) seeks to discuss the various requirements, opportunities, challenges and impact of novel concepts for advanced citizen e-participation based on the pervasive computing paradigm utilizing latest mobile technology such as feature-rich smartphones and wearables and appliances embedded in today's technically enriched urban surroundings. PerPart aims to provide an extensive outlook on relevant concepts, innovations and research issues in the field of advanced technology-mediated citizen participation. Thus, we plan to examine Pervasive Participation from various angles and to uncover the interdisciplinary challenges of creating feasible, efficient, and user-accepted Pervasive Participation methods.

|Bonnie Sheehan, with one of the thousands of small dogs she's rescued over the years.
Widely-Respected Long Beach Rescuer Was Released From a Tennessee Jail on Bail After Arrest For Carrying Some 140 Canines in a U-haul; She Began to Travel Home Wednesday
By Diana L. Chapman
Hearts For Hounds dog rescuer Bonnie Sheehan – arrested on 128 counts of animal cruelty charges for hauling some 140 dogs in a U-haul -- was released from a Tennessee jail Tuesday evening after her supporters pulled together $10,000 to bail her out.
She's on her way home to Long Beach via car, having left Tennessee Wednesday, said Jay Williams, a spokeswoman for Hearts for Hounds.
The rescuer – who is widely respected in Long Beach community for saving thousands of dogs over the past 15 years – cried when she got on the phone for the first time with Williams.
"All she could do is cry and say thank you, " said Williams, a long-time friend and volunteer who hadn't been able to talk to Sheehan, 55, since she was jailed Jan. 19. "It's one of the best feelings I've ever had since last week. I was so excited just to hear her voice. It's such a relief."
It is such a relief – even for me whose family has adopted three of Sheehan's dogs. I have written several stories about the rescuer's heroic efforts to save small dogs and even agreed with her move from Long Beach to Virgina due to a souring economy that led to zero adoptions over the past several months.
Instead of paying $7,000-a-month to run her Long Beach kennel, Bonnie purchased an 11-acre farm with a house, barn and log cabin in Huddleston, Va., where she planned to continue her rescue operations.
Instead, she was arrested along with her long-time volunteer, Pamela King-McCracken, 59, for hauling about 140 dogs allegedly in cramped and crowded U-haul and a mini-van. Animal officials called the conditions filthy, cramped and deplorable.
The group of Sheehan supporters are working with a "solid non-profit "that deals directly with dogs being retained as evidence to care for the animals, Williams said.
The arrests set off a nation-wide debate between the supporters who knew Sheehan and the many critics who did not. The comments became so derogatory at times, Williams said, that the group had to shut down the Hearts for Hounds face book page. Only basic information remains.
The real truth as I see it along with many of her supporters, is that most of those dogs she was traveling with would already be dead if it hadn't been for Sheehan.
"Nine thousand five hundred dogs were killed in Los Angeles County last year," Williams said. "If it wasn't for these two women's devotion those dogs (in Tennessee) would already be dead. Bonnie made them healthy. She made them pretty and she loved them."
Both women face 128 counts of animal cruelty. Their hearing will be held in March. King-McCracken was able to bail herself out earlier.
While the story burned across the internet about the rescuers with often derogatory and threatening remarks, Sheehan's supporters – including myself – were devastated and stunned to learn that the woman who has touched thousands of lives – both dogs and humans – had been arrested and jailed.
In fact, so many respected Sheehan that when the news broke, the veterinarian, Dr. Sam Shenouda in Long Beach, was swamped with phone calls about the rescuer's fate. Shenouda and Sheehan had worked together for years saving dogs she rescued from the pound the day they were to be euthanized.
The office began taking funds from supporters to help pay the $100,000 bond and attorney fees.
In the meantime, Sheehan's followers were horrified by the vitriolic, seething comments on the internet.
"What they did is as bad as running "slaves," one person wrote in a comment section of one news article while. Others accused them of being con-artists, running a "puppy mill' and stealing other people's dogs to sell them for profit.
One person emailed me directly to say "unfortunately" I had "been conned."
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Those of us who know Sheehan have marveled for years at her remarkable achievements, finding homes for dogs more than many rescue groups combined. But as the economic downturn continued, instead of people adopting "they called to ask if she'd take their dogs," said Williams.
Ceci Giacoma, who works with a specific breed rescue and has worked for years on-and-off with Sheehan, said she's pained by the brutal comments she read on face book and news media accounts. She said she's convinced Sheehan's outstanding dedication to her dogs will come out in court.
"We never came close to saving as many dogs as Bonnie did," Giacoma said. "I was always in awe of her because she rescued all dogs and did so from one of the largest and most desperate shelters. Because she was utterly dedicated and pure-hearted in her mission she has been able to unflaggingly re-home so many dogs that the sheer numbers are profound.
"Were it not for Bonnie, none of those dogs would have survived long enough to have been in that truck and that is the real perspective."
There are many questions that need to be answered before judging the two women:
--Why did Sheehan have so many dogs in the U-haul and minivan?
She had personally told me she was only going to take about 65 dogs to the new property with King-McCracken's help. Virginia volunteers there, Williams said, had prepared the barn for the dogs arrival and were ready and waiting.
Her initial plans to only take half the dogs, Williams said, changed when Long Beach animal control appeared.
--Why did Long Beach Animal Control officers show up the day of Sheehan's departure along with Long Beach police and watch her and several volunteers steadily pack up the animals?
They were there supposedly there because of a complaint that Sheehan was loading dead animals, but all the canines were alive and well. Many had been groomed before Sheehan left and given new blankets, Williams said. Watching all of this, animal control officer(s) allowed her to leave without saying the conditions in the U-haul were too crammed. Volunteers loading that day said animal control told Sheehan she had to take all 140 plus dogs with her and would not be allowed to leave any behind, Williams said. The rescuer then had to buy additional crates in order to do so. Why did they let her leave at all? An investigation into Long Beach animal control is ongoing.
--Why were more than sixty dogs of those found micro-chipped? Were they stolen?
Sheehan micro-chipped every animal before she adopted them out and gave the paper work over to new owners. Some people were accusing the two women of stealing animals and believe that's why they were micro-chipped. The truth is no dog leaves Sheehan's hands without current vaccines, and a microchip.
--Was Sheehan running a puppy mill?
I can answer that one. No. The breeds that some people consider so cute that they will pay big money for them, such as Chihuahuas – have flooded local shelters. If anything, Sheehan tried to save dogs that backyard breeders dumped or she was able to gather up from puppy mills. She refused to breed dogs. In fact, she would not save "unhealthy"dogs, because hundreds of healthy dogs are euthanized every day in this country.
--Why did Tennessee animal control officials call the animals filthy and then later turn around and say they weren't in that bad of condition?
The Tennessee animal officials accused the women of not watering or feeding the canines even though the women said they stopped and gave both to the dogs. Williams said the women, in information that he gathered from volunteers helping to load that day, had left space in the trailer so they could provide food and water. Crates were securely tied down so they wouldn't topple, he added.
Nina Wingfield, the president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals in Memphis, told the media that the crates were locked tight with cable ties, so the dogs were unlikely to receive food or water. But she added "Overall, they are healthy," she said in a statement, according to the Press-Telegram.
It's hard for some to reconcile Sheehan's reputation with the conditions of travel.
But here in Long Beach and elsewhere, Sheehan supporters all have dog tales to tell that came about because of Sheehan.
In Williams case, he adopted four of Sheehan's dogs, Yorkshire terriers, including several from a puppy mill in Riverside. Animal control turned the pups over to Hearts for Hounds, he said, to care for and to find them homes.
Even though the Yorkie puppies were four-months old, Williams said, they had never been out of their cages or given a place to grow and play. Therefore, several of them weighed only one or two pounds, when they should have weighed eight to ten pounds.
One reason Sheehan was considered a saint by some was her knack for matching dogs well with prospective owners. They, in turn, recommended her services to friends and family. That caused a ripple effect in the Belmont Shore community where hundreds of residents either knew her personally or about her work.
Not only did people like what she was doing, they often returned to show off the dogs they adopted when Sheehan would set up nearly every Sunday at the Marina Village farmer's market in southeastern Long Beach. She displayed a variety of small canines from cocker spaniels, to terrier mixes, bichon poodles to Chihuahuas
In my case, I came to know Sheehan about three years ago looking for a dog for my 83-year-old mom. Three-year-old Dara, a Havanese-Schnauzer mix snatched up by Hearts for Hounds the day she was supposed to be euthanized --. is now my mother's closest companion. She is such a love bug that my sister wanted her.
Instead, my sister visited Sheehan's kennel and fell for Lily, a Havenese who was rescued from a trailer park breeder. By the time she was 8-months-old , Lily, had given birth to three puppies at the trailer park, all of which died, according to Sheehan.
Endless stories abound about what this woman did with King-McCracken routinely helping her. I've heard many, but I like this one written by Darel Talbot:
"I met Bonnie years ago, when I found an ugly mutt that no one wanted and it was going to be put to sleep. I tried everyone but no one would help me. Then someone suggested I call Hearts for Hounds. Bonnie took my ugly rescue, she paid for the surgery and I met the wonderful woman who adopted her. I have been loyal to (Bonnie) ever since.."
The only person who hasn't had a chance to speak out in her defense is Sheehan who found herself jailed, a place she probably never thought she'd be.
Those who want to help Sheehan and her friend with donations for attorney fees can contact Jay Williams at email@example.com.

The rolling train wreck that is the presidential campaign of Texas Gov. Rick Perry is confronting that harsh truth yet again, in the wake of Gov. Goodhair's epic faux pas last night at the CNBC candidates debate at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., the latest episode in the ongoing campaign sitcom series brought to you by the Republican Party.
Perry was holding his own for much of the evening, not stinking up the joint any more than his partners in ambition Mitt Romney (Let Italy go under, Europe can fend for itself! Punish China for currency manipulation!), Newt Gingrich (Fire Ben Bernanke! Repeal Dodd-Frank and housing will recover! Audit the Federal Reserve!), Ron Paul (Repeal the government! Spend nothing! Let the free market determine interest rates!) and Herman Cain (9-9-9! 9-9-9! 9-9-9! I don't know who that woman is).
Then Perry broke formation, committing a blunder that will forever be enshrined in the American Political Blooper Reel.
◊ ◊ ◊
And back in October, at the Bloomberg-Washington Post Republican debate at Dartmouth College, Perry said he intended "to open up this treasure trove that America's sitting on and getting America independent on the domestic energy side."
Other, similar statements preceded and followed that one, enough to constitute a campaign platform, something he believed in deeply enough to politically internalize. So it stood to reason that Perry — deregulation cheerleader, energy nationalist, champion of offshore drilling — would have something to say on Wednesday night:
◊ ◊ ◊
"That's what Americans are looking for. I think we are getting all tangled up around an issue here about, can you work with Democrats or can you work with Republicans? Yes, we can all do that.
"But the fact of the matter is we better have a plan in place that Americans can get their hands around. And that's a reason my flat tax is the only one of all of the folks -- these good folks on the stage, it balance the budget in 2020. It does the things to the regulatory climate that has to happen. And I will tell you, it is three agencies of government when I get there that are gone. Commerce, Education, and the -- what's the third one there? Let's see.
Paul: You need five.
Perry: Oh, five, OK. So Commerce, Education, and the...
(Unknown): EPA?
Perry: EPA, there you go.
Then with two fairly simple questions, one of the debate moderators, CNBC's John Harwood, set Rick Perry on fire.
Harwood: Seriously, is the EPA the one you were talking about?
Harwood: But you can't -- but you can't name the third one?
Perry: The third agency of government I would -- I would do away with, Education, the... Commerce and, let's see. I can't. The third one, I can't. Sorry. Oops.
The 52 seconds of Perry's cerebral paralysis are bad enough to read from the transcript. Watching it is worse:
◊ ◊ ◊
The missing word — the name of the third federal agency he would shut down — was Energy. The same thing he'd been talking about, passionately and presumably with authority, on the campaign trail for weeks.
Perry came around about 15 minutes or so later, remembering the word, but the damage was done. As you might expect, the Twitterverse weighed in almost immediately. Mike_Lock tweeted: Rick Perry = Texas toast.
Patmcpsu agreed: "Perry is done."
Republican strategist Mark McKinnon was more expansive but just as fatalistic when he put things in perspective in The Daily Beast: "It's one thing to not be able to tick off all of Mitt Romney's 59-point economic plan. Or even a 10-point plan. But when you can't get past two in a three-point plan, you're done. Disqualified.
"Perry is now a dead man walking. He'll go through the motions to save face, but he won't get a single new voter. And he will quickly lose the ones he had. Once they're laughing at you, you're finished. Perry supporters Wednesday night were running out in the dark and pulling out yard signs."
Conservative writer Jonah Goldberg came to much the same conclusion in the National Review: "Perry couldn't remember that he wants to shut down the Department of Energy!? For weeks, energy reform was the only substantive policy he'd put forward. Energy is still one of the only topics he can discuss with anything approaching fluency. But he couldn't remember he wanted to shut down DOE? It'd be more understandable if he forgot the Department of Commerce — people forget the existence of the Commerce Department all of the time. ...
"It's fine to say everyone has these bad moments. That's true. Everyone makes mistakes. What you look for are patterns. Last night was so deadly because Perry reinforced his pattern rather than deviated from it."
◊ ◊ ◊
NBC's Today Show, Fox, CNN — everyone got a variation on what he said within minutes of the debate's conclusion: "I stepped in it." It was capped off tonight by an appearance on CBS's "Late Show With David Letterman," with the governor reading the Top Ten list. One in his honor: The Top 10 Rick Perry Excuses.
It's been funny to this point, but Perry's latest gaffe — that phrase deserves its own macro key right about now — really points to something sad, weak and obviously desperate about most of he Republican field arrayed against President Obama: a paucity both of ideas and anyone equipped to articulate them. Quiet as kept, the woes now visited on the Perry campaign have had their rough equivalents with those of just about everyone else in the race.
◊ ◊ ◊
"I hate debates," he said recently in Des Moines. "I used to hate spinning in aircrafts. ... Finally I did it, and I did it enough that I finally got pretty good at it. So hold on, maybe I'll get better at debates, too."
We're gonna find out fast. The next debate is Saturday in South Carolina and any hopes that Rick Perry's about to morph into Daniel Webster are thin at best. Give him credit" Perry's confident enough to return to the same rhetorical corral where he stepped in it little more than 72 hours earlier.
Maybe he'll keep his Tony Lamas clean this time. Or maybe he'll just keep spinning in this latest aircraft, putting himself, his party and the nation he presumes to lead through the political equivalent of a five-spiral crash.

Oh guys, are you ever going to love me. I have such a great book for you today—The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty. First, the blurb:
Told entirely through letters, diary entries, emails, and other writing, Moriarty's novel introduces us to Emily, Lydia, and Cassie—all students at Ashbury High—who begin writing to their Brookfield High counterparts through the schools' organized pen pal project. Readers learn quickly that each girl has her own writing style and that at two of the Brookfield boys (Seb and Charlie) seem to be smitten with Lydia and Emily. The only trouble is Cassie's pen pal, Matthew, a shady character who first sends her short, threatening letters and then becomes strangely sweet toward her. Nobody can figure out why Cassie keeps writing to him, but after she has a crushing meet-up with Matthew, Cassie discovers—with the help of her friends and the Brookfield guys—that he hasn't been honest about his identity. All could be ended there, but when Charlie helps take revenge and Brookfield High gets mysteriously vandalized, the group comes together to deliver justice and save the endangered pen pal project.
I wasn't so certain this would work. But if I have a single motto I have a million, and one happens to be: Always trust an Aussie.*
Still, I didn't know how Jaclyn Moriarty would tell not one but three stories using nothing but letters, e-mails, and journal entries. But that's because I didn't know what a skillful storyteller Moriarty is. I stand corrected. This book rocked.
It's not just that the characters were so fully developed I'm not entirely sure Emily, Lydia, and Cassie aren't real Australian girls. Or that the story is equal parts touching and laugh-out-loud hilarious. It's the voice.
Or, I should say, voices. Plural.
Here's the thing: Moriarty doesn't just nail teen speak. And she doesn't just write in an overall amazing voice. No, she gives each of the three girls and three boys such incredibly different voices that I'd believe you if you told me a different writer penned each.
One of my favorite things about this book is the way Moriarty wrote Emily, who gives terrible advice and constantly mistakes one word for another. My favorite instance of the latter:
"Also, I have seen on TV that you can get head transplants and it seems to me that it is a tragedy if you are bald and you don't get a head transplant. My dad agreed with me heartily, and with much joy, when I pointed out that Lydia's dad should get a head transplant."
But Moriarty doesn't shove it in our face, reminding us constantly through other characters that Emily has the tendency to misinterpret phrases. It isn't even until halfway through that Emily's pen pal questions her about it.
There is so much more to love about this book than I have room to say. And, truthfully, I'd end up copying the whole book for you here because it's pretty much all funny and quotable.
Oh, and if you enjoy this one, there are a few others in Moriarty's Ashbury/Brookfield series, all of which have a place on my TBR list right now.

Since when has there ever been an election like this one?
I'll answer, because I worked at CNN for 17 years and freelanced at every major news network after I left…
so I have lived though my fair share of elections.
I've never seen anything even remotely like this.
The implications of it were frightening to begin with, because by this time, many people had been red-pilled by the sheer audacity of Barry's language and his free and easy usage of executive orders.
Then there were the ALARMING red flags, such as the mass importation of refugees (basically shipping The War in the Middle East over HERE into our BACK YARDS…)
…the knowledge that they are trying to slowly kill us with chemicals in our food and water…
…Barry Soetoro's announcement that by 2024, America would be the "largest Muslim Nation in the World…"
…the TORCHING of LIVE CATTLE by the FBI, land grabs…
FEMA CAMPS, GUILLOTINES and murders, murders, MURDERS…
Now you have a FEARFUL, PARANOID public, looking, desperately for a way out, that begins to discover all of the escape routes are BLOCKED…
except one.
Cookie anyone?
Then there was the horrible realization that someone was turning the entire Democratic Party into Post-Menepausal BIMBOS and HIMBOS…
who appear to be taking the side of Terrorists and Pedophiles!
It's been insanity from the get-go.
At the same time it was the "Campaign of a Lifetime."
It was the BEST of times and the most FRIGHTENING of times, but it was also a time for US.
Those of us who experienced this pivotal MOVEMENT at the exact right time in history will never forget it…
and I hope no one ever has to go through this again.
We pulled together as patriots and got to know and respect this man, our new President, Donald Trump, and each other.
Who can ever forget? He's the President who gave us "Lock Her Up…"
He also gave us: "CNN SUCKS! CNN SUCKS! CNN SUCKS! CNN SUCKS!…"
When has this ever happened?
This is a man who Americans have continually bonded with, because he put himself out there in the line of fire as I have never seen anyone do in my life, and he did it all FOR THE LOVE OF HIS COUNTRY AND IT'S PEOPLE.
Far-Left, CIA-programed, Zombies will never appreciate that fact, because their brain tissue has most likely been hardened beyond repair.
We love him because we knew we were in a snake pit, and President Donald Trump came along and offered us a stick.
He tried to warn us during some of his first rallies, about the battle ahead, by dropping breadcrumbs like:
"These are REALLY BAD people folks."
"This is some wild stuff! These are bad people. This is way out there folks!"
As campaign managers, and other people on his team, came and went, his rhetoric toned down on these matters and became aimed more towards other issues like jobs and "the wall."
He stopped talking about the "really bad people," probably because someone told him: "Don't go there."
It seemed as though he was saying that these people were much worse than than we knew .
After the Wikileaks drop, the pieces began to fall into place, and I began to see what President Trump had been talking about in those early days.
Then I knew, that Donald Trump knew, about everything…ALL OF IT.
Fast forward to Q-Anon. For those who don't know, the Q in the screen name represents the highest level government security clearance.
I've been watching the Q-Anon phenomena unfold in real time, and once again, The God Emperor, who is simply The Best President Ever...continues to blow me away.
Since I don't frequent 8Chan or 4Chan, I was unaware of the new Q-Level Anonymous poster until a few weeks after they (because I do believe it is a group) started dropping breadcrumbs, but I was extremely interested because I had followed the first two Anonymous posters (Anon and Mega-Anon,) who I believed were real, and wrote an article about it on another blog.
For those who aren't aware, there has been anon activity on the Chan Boards this whole time. The posters claimed to be currently working in the government, and shared information that seemed to verify what they were saying. Both Anons reassured the online blogging/truther community, that there WERE WHITE HATS IN THE GOVERNMENT FIGHTING THE DEEP STATE TAKEOVER.
ENTER: Q-Clearance Anon
I wasn't sure about Q-Anon until they released a timestamped photo of North Korea, taken from AirForce One, at the time President Trump would have been passing over it, and it was taken ON the President's route.
That's good enough for me…but it got better once Q Anon began to establish themselves.
Here's a brief rundown on Q-Anon, from Issac Green's Channel called Anti-School. He has a great channel and you should check out all of his videos on Q-Anon, because he's been following closely.
Here's an Anti-School upload from today…
Here's Tracy Beanz. She began investigating Q-Anon and title her videos:
"Q clearance Anon- Is it happening "
She numbers her videos 1- (whatever the number of the last video she made is…) and you can get a blow by blow unfolding of these awesome events, that are taking place now…
My favorite type of channel, for getting Q-Anon information, are channels produced by former Military, Special Ops, CIA, FBI etc…
Here are 3 GREAT sources of Q-Info:
Retired Marine : Steve Motley…
Col. Roy Potter…
EVERYONE has a piece of the puzzle.
Jordan Sather: Destroying The Illusion…
If you read this article, on David Seaman's website FULCRUM NEWS, you will see the extraordinary events that have been taking place this Christmas season, as foretold by Q-Anon, who has now been verified by Trump and the Department of Defense.

Black Conservative Patriot…
QAnon 4chan 8chan…
SGT Report
AllSeeingEye Watcher…
More Verification that Q is REAL from Dustin Nemos:
Q-ANON: The Talk of INFO WARS…
I'm sure I'll locate more channels to add to this blog post. What I'm trying to do is put what I consider to be the best sources here.
For the record, I believe Q-Anon is more than one person. I believe this was planned in advance as a way to accomplish several things:
- Let Patriots know what was happening. People were getting restless and the outside appearance was that of chaos and ineffectiveness.
- Send messages out to Patriots and third party players…messages within messages.
- Give the Truther Community breadcrumbs to stimulate effective research in focused areas.
- Utilize the alternative media community, in order to start spreading the truth, because MSM is FAKE.
- Release dis-information.
- Give Patriots a chance to be a part of "The Great Awakening." Putting us all to work, so we can help to MAGA.
We won.
We won because we posted and memed for our lives.
We won because no matter what they did we turned it around on them.
We won because we had unbridled passion.
We won because we had FUN.
We won because we LOVE our President.
We won because we're more creative than their blood-drinking, baby murdering team.
And now this wonderful mystery called "Q," is asking for our help.
Does it get any better than this?
It's literally like living in a SPY NOVEL.

Don't get excited -- they're 2.7 liter pistons and liners.
Between my old Z7 Renault block and a Volvo B27 block I bought off eBay years ago I should be able to put together a reasonably new condition 2.7 liter engine should I ever need it. For now these piston sets are going into storage.

You all know how much I love cake, love baking cakes, love making cakes look pretty... And while my husband doesn't complain when I ask him to taste yet another cake recipe, he really loves pie more, and it's what he requests most often, even more than doughnuts. So to please him, I made a luxurious chocolate cream pie topped with a little shaved coconut for crunch and bourbon vanilla whipped cream.
I don't recall eating a lot of cream pies as a kid other than chocolate. I'm sure my mom made the occasional banana or coconut cream pie, but if she did, they just don't stand out in my memory. What I do remember, though, are the chocolate cream pies. Usually in a basic graham cracker crust, the filling likely from a box of instant chocolate pudding, they were delicious in their not-from-scratch way, and I loved them as much as I adored my favorite, although highly-processed meal of fish sticks and tater tots with plenty of ketchup.
This cream pie is quite a step up from those ready-in-5-minutes pudding pies, with a cooked custard that's rich with eggs and milk, a deep chocolate flavor from both cocoa powder and melted bittersweet chocolate, and finished with a touch of butter.
No matter how wonderful the filling of a cream pie is, it's just not complete without whipped cream, and I spiked mine with bourbon. Now this is a grown-up chocolate cream pie.
Chocolate Cream Pie with Bourbon Vanilla Whipped Cream
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (regular or chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat the oven to 325. Combine the crushed graham crackers and salt, then add the melted butter and toss with a fork until moist. Press into a deep-dish pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes then set aside to cool.
In a large saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar and corn starch. In a bowl, whisk together the milk and egg yolks. Slowly pour the milk and egg yolks into the saucepan, whisking until smooth. Over medium heat, cook the custard while whisking constantly, until it thickens, then continue cooking for one more minute. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla and chocolate until smooth. Pour the custard through a mesh strainer to remove any bits of cooked egg, then pour into the crust. Cover the pie with plastic resting right against the surface of the custard; chill overnight, or for 6-8 hours.
Before serving, whip the cream, powdered sugar, bourbon and vanilla until thick; serve with the pie.

We are instructed in the Holiness Code (Lev. 19:33) to take to heart the lessons of our own history by treating aliens in our midst with justice and compassion. "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall do him no wrong. The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." Judaism affirms the supreme value of human life and the equal dignity of every human being. The prophets of Israel bade us to pursue justice, seek peace, and build a society of loving-kindness among all of God's creatures.
The history of the Jewish people from Egypt through the Holocaust and continuing today is the story of a group forced time and again to flee the lands in which it resided. Repelled often in times of greatest need, Jews recognize the necessity for havens for the persecuted.
Thousands of men, women, and children are fleeing oppressing, torture, and murder and are seeking a haven in the United States and Canada. The United States did sign the United Nations Convention relating to the status of refugees, which states: "No contracting state shall expel or return a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion." The Refugee Act passed by Congress in l980 provides for the grant of asylum to any refugee demonstrating a "well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion."
The above notwithstanding, the United States continues to arrest and deport refugees who have a well-founded fear of persecution. In response to this situation, hundreds of churches and synagogues have offered "sanctuary" to Central Americans fleeing violence and oppression. The concept of "sanctuary" embodies various actions, including legal assistance, material support, financial support, public advocacy and education, and/or temporary physical shelter. In addition, four American cities have declared themselves to be "sanctuary cities," affirming that those undocumented refugees receiving services from the cities will not be turned over to the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Some of these actions are presently interpreted by the United States government to be violations of law and there have been arrests and convictions of persons participating in them.

The idea of a burger using a glazed donut as a bun substitute reportedly came from singer-songwriter and record producer Luther Vandross.
So us being YoYo aka creators of exotic burgers and thinkers of outside the box, when we first designed our menu of mouth watering burgers, we had to include a donut burger and we thought what better than the Krispy Kreme Cheese Burger. The idea of the Krispy Kreme Cheese Burger might not at first sound so tasty but have you ever had bacon, pancakes and maple syrup? Well thats exactly why the Krispy Kreme Cheese Burger works – it's sweet and savoury, and really does taste as good as it looks.
Try it today – 6oz angus beef with cheese sandwiched between 2 Krispy Kreme donuts.
It is one of the best seller after all.
Love, the YoYo team.

Caught up in too much work, too much writing, too much pulp revolutioning, too much wargaming, and too much fathering, what's a man to do?
Combine them as much as possible. I wargame with my teen son and tween daughter. (If you stretch the definition a bit, I even wargame with my three year old.) I read Cirsova to my four year old, and now thanks to a G+ recommendation, I read Manly Wade Wellman to my four year old, too. It's October, so it's time for a little creepy story telling. Also, these tales are a part of our cultural heritage - at least while we still have our own culture, anyway - and after reading the Hobbit several times over to each of the older kids, it's time to expand our horizons beyond the Tolkien.
Silver John is a wandering troubadour of the Appalachian country, and Manly Wade brings you the stories of his encounters with the monsters of Americana. Most of these stories were published in the old pulp magazine Planet Stories, and so they may be available for free somewhere on the internet, but it was worth the three dollar price point to save the hassle of finding them, collecting them, and wrestling them onto my ancient cell phone. (Late 2014 is Babylonian-style ancient in cell phone years. I'm using a museum piece.)
These are some fun little stories. The monsters of each story are not like the standard humanoid theme and variation that you see in most modern fantasy, nor are they simple European Grimm's tales moved over to the New World. Of course, you do see Appalachian style witches, but for the most part these are unique critters vaguely described and organically grown out of the rocky Appalachian soil. Wellman has a gift for character descriptions that provide detailed characterizations and set the stage for the story to follow, and the downhome style of speech used by the first person narrator is note perfect for the stories he tells.
If you love short fiction, and are in the mood for some atmospheric and moody Creepshow style monster tales, this is well worth a shot.

Oleander family
Apocynaceae includes approxi-mately 355 genera of herbs, shrubs, trees, and climbers distributed wordwide, with greatest diversity in the tropics. Characteristics in-clude a milky latex sap and complex flowers. Recent cevisions include the genera traditionally segregated in to Asclepiadaceae in this family. For the convenience of readers more familiar with this arrange – ment, these species are kept to -gether here as a subgroup of A poc – ynaceae. The family is very important pharmaceutically. Many, though not all, species are. Poison – ous. An exception is Carissa. Most are suitable for coastal. Planting and are at least modestly salt toler-ant. Leaves are simple entire opposite or whorled. Traditional members of Apocynaceae can be recognized by the radially symmet – tical, trumpet-shaped corollar. Commonly with lobes twisted like a propeller. The fruit is a capsule, shizocarp, nutlet, berry or drupe, commonly in pairs.
Beaumontia includes approximately 9 species of woody climbers (lianas) from India and Southeast Asia. Thay are spectacular tropical vines with funnel – shaped flowers resembling large Easter lilies and arranged in great clusters dripping from stout stems. Leaves are simple. Flowering vines like these are underutilized in landscaping. Simple or elaborate arbors can be devised to create a peaceful sanctuary or to shade a table or west – facing porch in the Mediterranean style. Vines are particularly useful for landscaping where space is limited
Beaumontia grandiflora
Herald's trumpet
Nepal trumpet – flower,
Easter lily vine
Synonym: Echites grandiflorus. Himalayan foothills from India to Vietnam. Evergreen woody climber to 30 ft. +, zones 10-11. Blooms late winter, early spring. Seasonally moist/dry. Average to fertile, well – drained soil. Full sun. Flowers: corolla white, funnel – shaped, lobes flaring, 7-8 in.long, fragrant, calyz covered with rust – colored hairs. Leaves: oblong to ovate, 4-10 in.long, glossy dark green, rust – colored hairs on the underside when young, A spectacular and vigorous vine, Beaumontia multiflora is often mistaken for this species. It has much shorter, bell – shaped white flowers.
