Cats are mysterious creatures, and despite how long human and feline have coexisted, there are still many things we don't quite understand about them. There is one thing for sure: they are independent creatures that are often quite sneaky. Unfortunately for their owners, this sneakiness exacerbates the ability for cats to conceal pain and other health issues. It is important to observe your cat's behavior and general condition, in order to ensure they remain healthy; after all, it's not like they can tell us… yet.
To know if something is truly wrong with your kitty, you need to know the difference between stress, and fear-related behavior. Signs of pain-induced behavior include changes in:
- Posture
- Behavior and attitude
- Skin and hair
- Vocalization
- Activity level
Conditions that cause acute pain are more readily noticed by owners, leading to a quicker diagnosis and treatment. It is chronic pain conditions, like arthritis, that are typically more difficult to observe. Degenerative joint disease and cancer are two extremely common conditions in felines that often go undiagnosed. Both can be treated through the use of medications and other means, thus improving your cat's quality of life.
Routine Veterinary Visits are Essential
Veterinarians are professionals trained to spot and diagnose health issues in our pets. Neglecting to take your kitty in for regular checkups can cost you, and your furry friend, in the long run. Many chronic pain conditions can be prevented or lessened with early diagnosis and treatment.
Environmental Enrichment
If your cat suffers from a painful condition, help improve their quality of life through environmental enrichment, because cats are curious, playful creatures in need of constant stimulation. Ensure your cat stays happy and healthy by providing them with toys, attention, and frequent petting sessions. As we all know, with nothing else to focus on, or pay attention to, the negative feelings tend to preoccupy our minds.
Cats need as much love and attention as any living thing. Keep a careful eye on your feline pet, learn their behavioral patterns, and try to differentiate between attitude and health problems by following our guide above. Take a little time out of your schedule once in a while, to give them the proper checkup they deserve.

The story is told to us from, apparently, a mental institution, where our narrator Arletty (Marianna Hill) alludes to a terrible experience she's undergone in the beachside holiday town of Pointe Dune (formerly known as New Bethlehem) – and suggests that whatever horror overtook the town is spreading outwards, and perhaps soon nowhere will be safe. Arletty's father Joseph Long (played by Royal Dano, largely in voiceovers narrating Long's letters and diaries), an artist, maintained a studio in Pointe Dune where he could work in solitude; Arletty received a strange letter from him, at once suggesting he was in terrible danger but urging her to stay away and not get involved, or seek help.
As she pulls into a gas station just outside town, she looks over to see the twitchy attendant (Charles Dierkop) shooting his pistol out into the darkness; when she comes over, they both hear a terrible yelp in the darkness, and his claim that it's just stray dogs fails to convince her. We see certain other terrible things suggesting that the attendant is keeping a whole swathe of secrets, for fear of what the Pointe Dune residents will do to him, with the result that we see pretty unambiguous indications that everything is fucked long before Arletty does. It's too late though – he's been seen talking to her, and as she makes her initial investigations into Pointe Dune, the attendant is… dealt with.
That's just the start of the nightmare, as Arletty learns of the past of the town – a town which used to be called New Bethlehem, before the Moon turned red one night and a mysterious stranger came from the sea to change everything, with a promise of returning some day. Just what has happened to our narrator's missing father – and what horrors are heralded by the second coming of this Messiah of Evil?

A breakable wall is a piece of structure that can be destroyed due to an action taken by the player, this generally being by striking it directly with a weapon. Once the wall is destroyed, a useful item will usually be uncovered for the player to pick up (which in most games is a health-restoring item).
Breakable walls have appeared in most games that conform the Castlevania series, starting from the very first game, and have since become a staple in the franchise. As the series progressed and role playing elements were added to some of the games' mechanics (such as was the case of Symphony of the Night), not only walls, but ceilings and floors were also added to the roster of environmental segments that could be destroyed. Furthermore, instead of simply revealing an item, they oftentimes gave access to secret rooms full of treasures, or outright all new areas of the castle.
While some games lack the presence of breakable walls entirely (such as Harmony of Dissonance and certain other titles), these were instead replaced with mechanical barriers that required specific actions taken by the player to make them move out of the way (such as stepping on a pressure plate, interacting with or utilizing a key in a contraption, detonating a bomb, or destroying an object to make a wall move elsewhere) and allow access to whatever secrets they hid behind them.
Two special kinds of walls were introduced in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles, one made of Red Skeletons' bones and the other made of crystals. These would reform themselves immediately after being struck, thus impeding further progress, and could only be permanently destroyed by the acquisition of special items given to the player by two of the missing villagers after rescuing them.
- In classic titles, destroying a wall would usually reveal a Pork Chop. In time, this type of food item became to humorously be known among the gaming community as "Wall Chicken", with the term becoming so popular that it's now part of gaming culture worldwide and being frequently referenced among diverse forms of entertainment media. Part of the humor comes from the fact that:
- It would be absurd that someone would store food inside of a building's structure or that it was used as a construction material.
- It could remain in an edible state after a long period of time.
- Even if this was the case, it would be all dirty and not advisable to be consumed in that state.
- In the game Dust: An Elysian Tail, there's a health-recovering item called "Mysterious Wall Chicken", which as its name implies, is obtained by breaking certain walls in a nod to how similar items are often found in the Castlevania series hidden behind breakable walls.

Who is Henry VII Tudor ?
Who is Henry VII Tudor ?
Reign : 1485-1509
"...God that day decreed it, for it was done miraculously",
The Twelve Triumphs of Henry VII, Bernard André, official poet at the court of Henry VII.
Henry Tudor, the first monarch of the dynasty, proclaimed himself King in 1485 at the age of 28 following the battle of Bosworth. His victory over Richard III put an end to the Wars of the Roses. Thanks to Henry, the House of Lancaster defeated King Richard III and, with him, the House of York. The reign of Henry VII at last brought order and stability to the kingdom, beset by thirty years of civil war. Although cautious and thrifty, Henry VII willingly financed prestigious buildings and tournaments that would glorify his court and legitimate his authority. In 1486, the country came together to celebrate the birth of his first son, Arthur. However, with the prince's sudden death in 1502, all the dynasty's hopes fell upon his youngest children : Margaret, Henry and Mary.

Google recently announced the release of their first smart home device, with a screen. It forms part of their connected home devices, which include their range Google Home speakers and Chromecast devices. Amazon came out with their smart display some time ago, with the 'Echo Show', and they have just announced their revamped, 2nd gen version. The Home Hub is almost £100 cheaper than the latest Echo Show, but what does that mean, what's it missing, if anything, and is it any good? We've got one, we've been using it and here are our thoughts.
Tech Spec:
– 7″ LCD touchscreen display
– Ambient EQ light sensor
– Far-field microphones
– Full range speaker to the rear
– Pair with other Google devices for multi-room sound
– Bluetooth 5, Google Assistant & works with Android, iOS, Mac, Windows
Although it comes with a 7″ display, it's overall form factor is quite small. The size and shape of the display resemble your typical tablet, and it's mounted on a fabric base in such a way, it almost looks like the screen is floating. The fabric base has the full range speaker built into it, along with the power inlet. The screen is touchscreen, with most, if not all controls available via the screen, but there are also buttons for volume control & microphone mute, to the rear of the screen. At the top of the screen, is the 'Ambient EQ' sensor, which is a light sensor that will dim the display, in dark situations. However, brightness is fully adjustable to suit your needs and/or the environment. Also at the top of the screen, there isn't a camera. Unlike the Echo Show, the Home Hub doesn't have a built-in camera, so while you can make video calls, the person you are calling, will not be able to see you. Why is this? Google has said it's to comfort customers about privacy in their own homes, after growing concern about how secure cameras on smart devices really are.
Set Up
Setting up the Home Hub was a breeze and took next to no time at all. When you initially boot up the Hub for the first time, it will direct you to install the Google Home app onto your smart device. Once you have downloaded the app, you can sign up or log in, using your Google account and then locate the option to 'add new Google device', or something along those lines. The app will then search and find the Hub, to which you can begin pairing the Hub and your account, together. Once set up is complete, the Hub will run through what it can do. At any point, you can say 'Ok Google, Tell Me What You Can Do' and it will run you through the features again.
You will need to keep the app on your smart device if you want to add any third party devices to the Hub, and also change some settings. Those third-party devices? There are literally hundreds of them, ranging from big brands that you've probably heard of, to smaller ones that you won't have. The most popular and commonly used, other than Google-owned applications, are, Spotify, Deezer, Nest, Philips Hue, Lightwave, nVidia Sheild, D-Link and so on.
Full list: Google Home Hub Partners
The hub performs very well. The screen is vibrant & clear, and the brightness can be adjusted to suit your situation. The automatic dimming also works very well and I left this setting on for the duration of the trial. The screen is responsive to touch, either pressing and sliding in any direction. Tap the screen to get the home page up, swipe right to browse the options and slide down from above to access media or cameras.
The far-field microphones do an excellent job of picking up your voice from across the room, it even picked me up when I wasn't in the room. The only thing I think that needs to change is to the drop the 'ok', no need to say 'Ok Google', everytime you want to speak to the hub. If you've used Google Assitant before, you know the drill. There are many, many commands, tasks, questions you can ask Google and will answer verbally & on screen. I challenged Google many times, always coming up with accurate results.
A key feature to the Hub is its ability to play YouTube videos on screen. It's a great feature when you're in the kitchen, wanting to follow a recipe or to keep the kids occupied with a programme. I found searching for videos tricky on screen, there are limited options and it is far easier to verbally search for a video than just browse the site. Video quality is good, it's unclear what the resolution is but it looks to be 720p or better.
Lastly, the audio quality, for both music and videos, is good, but it won't blow you away. The audio is clear and can get quite loud, although quality does get lost somewhat at the higher volumes. There is an EQ available within the settings, so you can adjust it if you wish. It's more than adequate for videos, and low volume music playing, but I wouldn't recommend it for a party.
The Google Home Hub comes in at £139.99, while the new gen Echo Show costs a whopping £219.99. Both devices have a colour touch screen, but the Show is larger. Both have a built-in speaker, but the Echo is slightly louder. The Hub will play YouTube videos, while the Show will play Prime Videos. But the biggest difference is the Show's built-in camera and ability to video chat with others via another smart device.
The Google Home Hub is a great first attempt at a smart home device, to include a screen & Google Assistant, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. In some area's it lacks, but in others, it shines and I would recommend the Hub to anyone who is first starting out in the smart home devices, or a student, always wanting to ask questions.

Florida Agriculture Prepares for a Couple of Cold Nights
With temperatures again expected to dip into the 20s for extended periods Wednesday night and Thursday morning, growers across the state were working around the clock in efforts to minimize the effect on Florida's $100 billion fruit and vegetable industry.
With below freezing temperatures possible for all but the most southern and coastal regions of the state, growers have accelerated harvests and taken precautionary steps to protect crops too young for market.
Agriculture officials on Wednesday said they experienced only minimal damage from the freeze Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning. But the threat of another hard freeze sent prices higher Wednesday as orange juice futures continued to rise to levels not seen since December 2007.
The potential freeze comes on the heels of a citrus crop already reduced by drought earlier in the season.
"Preliminary reports indicate there may be isolated areas that have minor fruit damage however, temperatures do not appear to have dipped low enough for long enough duration to create substantial problems," said Michael Sparks, executive vice president of Lakeland-based Florida Citrus Mutual, the state's largest growers association.
U.S. Sugar Corp. said most of its sugarcane and citrus areas experienced below freezing temperatures for up to 10 hours, with the coldest recorded temperatures at 22 degrees in citrus growing areas and 24 degrees in its cane fields.
Company spokesman Judy Sanchez said U.S. Sugar will accelerate its harvest to minimize crop losses. So far, the company's citrus holdings have not been affected.
"We seem to have dodged the bullet and pray that it gets no colder through the rest of the week," Sanchez said.
Florida leads the southeast in farm income. It produces about 75 percent of the oranges grown in the country and accounts for about 40 percent of the world's orange juice supply. It also is the nation's major supplier of fresh fruit and vegetables during the winter months.
"There is much at stake, both for our state's farmers and for consumers all across the United States who count on Florida to provide them with fresh domestic produce in the winter," said Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Bronson.
Meanwhile, Gov. Charlie Crist spoke with U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Wednesday. The two discussed the impact of the cold weather on Florida's agricultural community and the expected need to move products ahead of the traditional schedule, according to Crist spokesman Sterling Ivey.
Crist on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in anticipation of freezing temperatures expected to visit the state over the next several days. By executive order, the governor relaxed weight restrictions on fruit and vegetable hauling vehicles.
Temperatures were expected to rise slightly Thursday before again plummeting into the low 20s over the weekend.

mart and connected technologies are presently driving the astonishing growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, growth in these technologies is, in turn, a result of the tremendous development of various sensors. According to the Boston Consulting Group, by 2020, expect to spend US$ 265 billion for IoT technologies, services, and products. Much of this growth will owe its progress to that of sensors.
One can now find sensors almost everywhere, for instance, in smart retail, smart healthcare, and smart homes. Today, most people start their day with pressing a couple of apps while still in bed, thereby turning on the high-end coffee maker for the first-morning cup, or their night adjusting the climate control zoning system for keeping the bedroom in that ideal sleeping temperature.
As an example, a large health insurer in Australia is placing sensors throughout the house of elderly members for monitoring their health and preventing them from falling. They place sensors within refrigerators, medicine cabinets, bathrooms, and doorways. The sensors monitor movement by tracking the temperature within the home. Any break in routing such as a change in the temperature notifies the family immediately.
Viewers of professional golfing can see information on the heart rates of the players on their TV screens thanks to a special camera and sensors monitoring the faces of the players. This contactless vital sensing technique allows TV viewers to read the stress levels of the athletes as they play.
The past decade has seen a drastic drop in the prices of sensors as a result of the advancement of technology. This reduction has exponentially increased the use of sensors not only in civilian applications, but also in military, aerospace, and in collision avoidance systems in the automotive industry.
Advances in complex micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and thermopiles are improving uncooled IR sensor technology. This MEMS-based technology offers free-standing thermal isolation structures surrounding a printed thin-film IR absorber. This allows the collection of radiated power to determine the temperature of a remote object. Using semiconductor technology, it is now possible to add hundreds on thermocouples on several square millimeters of a thermopile sensor. Besides being small and reasonably priced, these thermopile array sensors are smart enough to be accurate with faster response time. It makes them ideal for building automation, people counting, security systems, medical instruments, and more.
For instance, the 8×8 thermopile array device is a sensor with 64-pixel IR sensors fitting within a surface mount package that can withstand reflow soldering. Apart from a silicon lens that collects the infrared energy, the package consists of a digital ASIC, a MEMS detector chip, and RF-shielded metal cover, and an I2C interface.
While operating, the thermopile array sensor has a 60-degree field of view for absorbing emitted thermal energy. The 64 sensing elements in the array individually convert the absorbed thermal energy to produce a proportional output signal. After amplification, an ADC converts these analog temperature signals to digital, while also referencing them against the ambient temperature value measured by a thermistor. A microprocessor collects the digital data and proceeds to map the temperature from individual thermopile elements into a thermal representation of the entire field of view.

Daily Stormer

I'm sitting here loving witnessing the collapse of Saudi Arabia. I really hate these people.
But it's a little bit like #MeToo. I love #MeToo, because it destroys Jews, but I don't agree with the underlying premise that you shouldn't pay women for sex or accept sexual favors in exchange for promotions.
Just so, I don't believe you shouldn't torture and chop-up journalists. That is the least of what these people deserve.
But let's take a step back from that for a second to all of these people attacking Trump over Saudi Arabia. This is the media doing this, primarily, claiming that Trump has "enabled" the Saudis to be bad people by not enforcing a foreign policy based on "our values."
This is the same media that falsified all that evidence to get the US into the Iraq war, which killed however many hundreds of thousands of people. That was the New York Times, remember? It was the kike Judith Miller, who printed a bunch of fake news about how Saddam was planning to nuke America, who guaranteed that that war went through.
This bitch talking about aluminum tubes, Colin Powell brings fake anthrax to the UN, bing bang boom.
There is now no question at all about this – the Iraq war was based on fake news, with the media colluding with the "intelligence community" to start that war.
Then there are all these other wars the US has fought for all of these decades. No one has explained WWII yet, let alone Vietnam or all those weird drug wars in Latin America.
Beyond that, we are allied with all of these other countries which commit all these atrocities, most notably Israel.
Saudi Arabia itself has been a US ally forever, and it has always killed dissidents. Furthermore, why is this one journalist's life so much more important than the lives of the 50,000 dead Yemenis in the war of aggression Saudi is fighting against them?
The bottom line here is that "our values" is not a standard by which to decide foreign policy. It is an absurd joke for the US to claim to be some arbiter of humanist morality – and even if it were true that we are the goodest of all good boys, using that as the basis of foreign policy would be stupid.
So on some level, even while I hate the Saudis, allowing the media to claim a scalp here makes me a little bit uncomfortable. I think it is clearly an "own goal" like the #MeToo movement, but the #MeToo movement is what paved the way for the Kavanaugh debacle (which could have ended badly).
My point: I don't want to see right-wingers supporting the narrative of "our foreign policy should be determined by vague moral principles that we ourselves do not uphold" simply because they hate the Saudis and all of this endless Middle East nonsense.
Rand Paul is out there using this, saying "we shouldn't be sending foreign aid and weapons to a country that murders journalists" – but he was already calling for the same thing, before any journalist was murdered, for much better, real reasons.
It is great that Saudi is falling apart over this. But I have seen the Jews very excited about it, and I think they are excited because they are setting a precedent.
This could potentially be used against Russia, Brazil and others. Which is why I think Trump is so hesitant. Plus maybe he also had some larger scheme he was working. I assume he had some larger scheme. But I don't think it was a good scheme. The Saudi-Trump relationship was a Jared Kushner production, and it never should have been a thing in the first place.
Trump said during the campaign that Saudis funded terrorists who kill Americans and that we should cut them off. That was the much better position. If he had held that position, he wouldn't be in a place where he has to vouch for a lunatic.
American foreign policy should be based exclusively on what is good for America.
There should be no second, third or fourth consideration.
Most especially, the lives of brown people, journalists and brown journalists should not ever be a consideration.

The first thing Kate Beckinsale does in "Whiteout" is take a shower. This may be because her character, a United States marshal named Carrie Stetko, needs to rinse off the grime of Antarctica, where she is stationed. Or, as seems more likely, it may be because the filmmakers, realizing that she would be spending most of the movie swaddled in thick parkas and layers of thermal protection, felt that some audience members might enjoy seeing Ms. Beckinsale in her underwear and then out of it behind a strategically fogged glass door.
Which is not to imply that the shower scene, interrupted by a knock at the door "I'm in the shower," Carrie cleverly replies is more contrived or absurd than anything else that happens in this studiously mediocre little thriller, which was directed by Dominic Sena. In the opening sequence a Soviet transport plane crashes in the ice, and a half-century later bodies start turning up. Carrie, a few days before she's supposed to leave the research complex, investigates, menaced by an impending storm and interrupted by flashbacks to some bad stuff that went down, earlier in her career, in Miami.
Up there, by the way, she could work in a sleeveless T-shirt. At her current post she loses two fingers to frostbite, gasps in surprise when something surprising happens, and takes turns with other characters at explaining what is happening. We're stuck! It's cold! Jelly beans!
The major question that keeps the movie moderately engaging is which of the men around Carrie will turn out to be one of the bad guys who go around hacking up geologists with an ice ax. Will it be the friendly pilot (Columbus Short), who accompanies her to remote encampments? Will it be the United Nations investigator (Gabriel Macht) who turns up at one of them? The kindly old doctor, known as Doc (Tom Skerritt)? That Australian guy (Alex O'Loughlin)? Or that other guy (Shawn Doyle)?
No spoilers here! Though if you study the cast list you may develop an inkling. But the way "Whiteout" walks the line between implausibility and predictability is neither unusual nor in itself a problem. The problem lies in the movie's perfunctory, by-the-numbers approach to the story and its characters. That the climactic blizzard-obscured action sequence is tedious and confusing does not help.
And shouldn't there be penguins? I thought every movie about Antarctica had to have penguins. Has someone done market research proving otherwise? Is the whole penguin thing over? Or maybe the penguins read the script and told their agents to pass. Smart birds.
"Whiteout" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). Violence, swearing, a gratuitous shower.
Opens on Friday nationwide.
Directed by Dominic Sena; written by Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes, based on the graphic novel written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Steve Lieber ; director of photography, Chris Soos; edited by Martin Hunter; music by John Frizzell; production designer, Graham Walker; produced by Joel Silver, Susan Downey and David Gambino; released by Warner Brothers Pictures. Running time: 1 hour 41 minutes.
WITH: Kate Beckinsale (Carrie Stetko), Gabriel Macht (Robert Pryce), Tom Skerritt (Dr. John Fury), Columbus Short (Delfy), Alex O'Loughlin (Russell Haden) and Shawn Doyle (Sam Murphy).

Tales from the Mile High Club
6th February 2012
The fifty-something passenger in first class was travelling alone which suited me perfectly. Well dressed and handsome he had an air of authority and exuded personal success. He was also charming if a little diffident with the air hostesses, I noted that he rarely held eye contact with any of the sexy Airport girls. He was also sporting a wedding ring which only added to the sexy charge that was coursing through my veins as I contemplated getting up close and personal with the unsuspecting businessman.
The bitch was due in the Captain's cockpit within the hour and I knew that normally once she was inside that would give me at least twenty minutes to carry out my plan unseen but I couldn't know for sure so I had asked one of the other girls, Victoria, to help me out by hiding a mobile phone in the small tea trolley that she would take in with her. As they were enjoying tea and bacon sandwiches I would be able to hear what was going on in an earpiece. Perfect! And so was Victoria. I had tried to seduce the leggy blonde lovely several times but to no avail. Victoria had worked as a busty escort at Airport escorts before getting this job. I imagine she would have been a popular visiting escort because she was physically perfect, fun loving and a real sweetheart. She was great with people but unfortunately for me her sexual taste ran only as far as men. Shame, we could have been great together and I longed for on eof her famed sensual massages!
But back to the task in hand! We had been in the air for a couple of hours and all of the passengers had been fed and watered. We didn't have many folk in first class and most had already turned in for the night, eager to get the most out of their flat bed so that they could arrive at their destination fresh and ready for anything. There was a famous female celebrity on board. She was in her early thirties but still seemed to be the same hot and sexy girl as when she was well known for stripping down to her underwear in many a lad's magazine and newspaper. She also seemed to be travelling alone and unfortunately for me that meant two of the other males in the cabin couldn't keep their eyes off her meaning it would be difficult for me to get my guy unseen. Thankfully the model had also noticed the attention and she had her strategy ready, straight to bed and lights off. Ten minutes later and in frustration the guys followed suit.
It was just in time because a text pinged through from Victoria that Devon was just getting ready to take tea and food to the captain and his co-pilot. Perfect! I positioned myself where the man would see me and I made sure that when I reached up for the cups in an overhead locker that he would get a great view of my fabulous ass and beautifully shaped calves. Worked every time...

DEADLINE -- December 15, 2010 at midnight Eastern!
SAQA and SDA Artists – Get your entries into Volusia Wrapped in Fiber today
http://www.saqacallforentries3.com is the link to sign up for the exhibition - you do not have to log in to sign up! This is open to all SAQA and SDA artists as well as an invitation to special artists.
Volusia County was the first area in Central Florida to exhibit art quilts as fine art. The area has become a site for many fiber gatherings and exhibitions. This program will introduce other venues to the fiber arts and exhibit the creative growth in the fiber arts. Artists are expected to create and display their innovative works featuring textile techniques with unusual materials or common materials used in unique ways. There are a total of five venues but only two featuring Studio Art Quilt Associates and Surface Design Associates.
Quilt artists are encouraged to present works where they are reaching outside the terminology of a quilt. Surface Design artists are asked to show works that use various materials in a fiber technique (i.e. weaving with wire) or to stretch their fiber techniques to new boundaries. 3-D, free-standing works, ceiling hangings, wall hangings, and other non-traditional works will be accepted.
We are looking for the exceptional works that you created but can't find a gallery that will work with you. We have 16-20 foot ceilings in Gateway - lots of room to float your art - and hundreds of feet for hanging art on walls or putting them on pedestals....If you made it with any type of fiber or used a fiber technique to create it, it fits our definition of acceptable works. No three layers connected by stitches necessary for this fiber extravaganza! But those are certainly acceptable too!

Curators: Mary McBride firstname.lastname@example.com and Judy Gilmer

Louisville City FC playing for Eastern Conference crown (and rights to host USL final)
When Louisville's professional soccer club steps on the field at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., on Sunday, it will vie for the Eastern Conference Championship — but also for the rights to host the United Soccer League's biggest game of the year: The USL Championship.
If Louisville City FC beats the New York Red Bulls II on Sunday (kickoff is at 6:30 p.m.), LouCity would get to host the USL Championship at Slugger Field on Oct. 23. LouCity would play the winner of the Western Conference Final between Swope Park Rangers and Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2.
"We've confirmed we would host if we advance," spokesman Jonathan Lintner told IL via email.
Hosting the final would bolster the club's finances, as about two-thirds of its revenue comes from ticket sales. An average of about 6,000 fans attended the first two home playoff games this season. The club drew a record 10,062 fans against FC Cincinnati on June 25.
The second-year club has declined to talk about whether it has reached profitability, though a former chairman has said this summer that it was projected to lose about $1.5 million this year.
Hosting the final in Louisville also would lift the club's (and the city's) prestige: The USL Championship match will be shown live on ESPNU.
The club is working on plans to build its own stadium. It plans to play at Slugger, home of the Louisville Bats, three more seasons, through 2019.
A new stadium would pump up the club's revenue, primarily because of greater advertising opportunities, but it also might become a prerequisite to being allowed to remain in the league. The USL said last year that a "critical part of our strategic growth plan is to have all USL clubs as owners or primary tenants of soccer-specific stadiums by 2020." The USL would not tell IL whether a team that does not have a soccer-specific stadium — or at least one under construction — by the end of the decade would lose its USL franchise.
The city of Louisville this year paid for a $75,000 feasibility study. Consultants said a 10,000-seat soccer stadium in Louisville could cost $30 million to $50 million. While generally supportive of the club, Mayor Greg Fischer said that "a significant portion" of the stadium funding would have to come from the private sector.

Sites in Lyon Tours Day trips Getting around
Place Bellecour in Lyon, France, is a vast square that was first set out in 1617. Just south of it is the Musée des Tissus (€4.60) at 34 rue de la Charité, Lyon's best museum with every kind of fabric from Egyptian linen to 20th century Raoul Dufy designs. North of the place Bellecour is the impressive Hotel de Ville and accompanying 19th century Bartholdi fountain in place des Terreaux. Here also is where you will find the Musée des Beaux Arts (€3.80) with a collection of Rodin, Picasso, Matisse and David works rivalled only by the collections in Paris' Louvre.
On the way to place des Terreaux you will pass the quartier Mercière, the 16th and 17th century commercial centre, now with old houses mingling with new bars, restaurants and shops, especially on rue de la République. Take a look at the opera house behind the Hotel de Ville. It was redesigned by Jean Nouvel in 1993 and now combines a Neoclassical façade with a rather space age glass roof. The interior is a black space with silver staircases leading you into the unseen.
After you have wandered around Vieux Lyon, and the Presqu'île, head up to La Croix Rousse where the silk workers (canuts) used to live. Here you will find the traboules, alleyways and tunnels that were used for moving delicate fabrics about the manufacturing district whilst protecting them from the weather. Later, Resistance members used the traboules to escape from the enemy. Try following the one from 36 rue Burdeau and see where you end up.
Once you've had your fill of old things, Lyon has plenty of more modern buildings to enjoy as well. On the eastern banks of the Rhone there are two Musées d'Art Contemporain, one of which is at the Cité Internationale (€3.81) and houses a very large collection of installation art, as well as some great temporary exhibitions. The building was designed by Renzo Piano and it combines a Neoclassical 1930s façade on the park side with a pink concrete construction on the riverside. The other Musée d'Art Contemporain is further east at 11 rue Dr Dolard (€4) and is a space where contemporary artists question the very nature and purpose of art and architecture. Also on the east side of town, in the 8th arrondissement, is the Institut Lumière at 25 rue du Premier Film (€5.50), which traces the development of the Lumière brothers' interest in moving pictures with magic lanterns and early cameras, and it shows films in the evening.

Netflix has announced they have made an eight figure deal with the Obamas.
According to the Netflix announcement, the former President and First Lady will advise the company about new shows, documentaries, and other "learning" programs. CBS News says the Netflix/Obama agreement will try to "cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world."
That means shows will be geared to naive snowflakes and children too young to question anything.
Their programming has already been dubious. William Sullivan at American Thinker shares his experience. He and his son watched "Bill Nye the Science Guy." Then came "Bill Nye Saves the World." This is what was in store:
As The Independent puts it, Nye's new "science show aimed at adults" famously "jumps the shark" in its inaugural efforts by having Rachel Bloom join the show for Episode 9, titled "The Sexual Spectrum." She performs a song called "My Sex Junk," in which she utters such thought-provoking scientific lyrics as:
This world of ours is full of choice, but must I choose between only John or Joyce?
Are my options only hard or moist? My vagina has its own voice. Not vocal chords, but a metaphorical voice. …
Cause my sex junk is so, oh, oh, oh, much more than either/or, or, or.
Power bottom or top off, versatile love may have some butt stuff.
Vulgar, eh?
Sullivan also spotlighted a kids show called "The Who Was Show." It supposedly highlights historic figures. Actors singing songs and telling jokes to educate the children-viewers. It all seems harmless enough.
"I was giving the show mild attention as my kids watched in the living room until I caught this passing quip by a narrator, describing how the Roman Republic was an 'extremely advanced civilization:'
"While most of the world struggled to stay alive, the Romans had running water, air conditioning, shopping malls, and same-sex marriage [sic]."
Air conditioning? That's a stretch, but as Sullivan points out, the same sex marriage is "a bald-faced lie with purpose.
"Here are the facts. Marriage, as an societal institution, was strictly monogamous in ancient Rome, and strictly heterosexual in nature. The laws were structured toward the advancement of its civilization – namely, the production of children who would become Roman citizens. There were never codified laws allowing same-sex "marriage" among Roman citizens. The suggestions that it even occurred at all amount to singular and depraved examples."
You can expect more squeezing of history to suit modern progressive goals.
I think I'll pass.

The Warriors returned from the All-Star break and are set to hit the stretch run for the final 24 games before the playoffs. But first we caught up with Shaun Livingston.
We talked about the bench, the perception of old age in the NBA, why he chose to stay with the Warriors and the impact fatherhood has had on him. A transcript of the first half the episode is below.
Subscribe to Warriors Plus/Minus here.
Listen to the full episode here:
Marcus Thompson: Welcome back.
Shaun Livingston: Can we talk about how as a 32-year-old you're considered old? You know. What do you guys think about that?
Tim Kawakami: Thirty two is young. Young. Oh my goodness. Baby. Baby.
Livingston: Thank you. Thank you. Making me feel better.
MT: Andre is what, 33?
Livingston: He's 34.
MT: Andre is 34 and its almost like he should be getting AARP membership. People are like "Ah, he's done."
Livingston: That's how they treat you. "What you got for us? Can you play a little bit more? Two minutes." Coach comes over and he's like, "Can you give me another minute?"
MT: Have you started using Bengay yet?
Livingston: Oh, for sure. For sure. You've got to warm up the engine. Grease down the engine.
MT: You're like an old school Nova. You've got to let it run and then finish getting ready.
Livingston: Funny story. First year, guys coming out, older vets, smelling like Bengay.
TK: You're 18.
Livingston: And I'm like, "Yo. My dad wears Bengay." And now, what goes around comes around.
TK: Talk about this. I was just watching — we couldn't really see through the curtain but we saw who was running up and down. You were doing a live scrimmage, end of practice. Andre Iguodala. Shaun Livingston. Steph Curry. I mean, this was a little rare. Why did you guys get the running going?
Livingston: Try to shake out the cobwebs, right? Nice little break. Shorter break for those guys — Steph and Klay, Draymond, KD. Just trying to get some wind, trying to get some rhythm. Coming back it, obviously, might feel a little foreign just taking five days off. So get a little extra scrimmage.
MT: Since you are the Old G.
Livingston: Young OG.
MT: Is this what you've been saving it up for? Is this what you've been preserving them legs for? This time of year.
Livingston: Yeah. Absolutely. Marathon. You can't go 100 miles all the way to the destination. Tread is going to wear thin on the tires, so you just try to find, uh, you know, you've got to still play. You've got to play hard. Obviously, it's a young man's game. You've just got to pick and choose your spots. Obviously, we rely on each other to make plays and not just one guy carrying the load the whole season. So you just try to conserve a little bit and pace yourself.
TK: Is this when you put the pedal down — you, personally?
Livingston: For sure. For sure. 'Cause in the playoffs you can't just turn it on and turn it off. Maybe teams that have experience doing that, maybe they can get away with it. But in the end it catches up. Perfect example, I think, the 73-win season. We just went out there and won games because we could, you know, we could. We just beat teams. Played three quarters of OK basketball, fourth quarter was good. At the end of the year, it was like we were trying to find it and turn it on and it wasn't there the same way.
MT: When you look at how this team played the first 58 games, from our point of view, it looks as if you are pacing yourself. It looks as if the whole team is saying, "We understand this is December." Was that the case? Or were you out there really trying and Joe Ingles and the like was still getting 30?
Livingston: Hey, it's going to happen man! Look at Utah right now. They're on an 11-game win streak. Guys can play. What happens is — and I know this by experience from playing the top teams like the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics when they were winning — you win a game against them, your confidence is at an all-time high. So now you go off and you start kicking everybody's ass. That's just how it works.
We're that team now. Teams win, they beat us, and then they go off and they're playing with high confidence. I think we didn't have the killer instinct. We didn't have the foot down on teams' necks in the beginning of the season where we're not giving them hope. We were giving them hope because we were pacing and conserving a little bit. And teams are good. This is the NBA. Guys can play. So you come out and take some Ls.
MT: What does that feel like though when teams who — everybody knows they're not better than you guys, right? Guys are getting hot and they're making shots, and they're celebrating, and you guys are the champs. Is it, "whatever, we know we're better than y'all" or does it sting a little bit?
Livingston: It's both. It's both. It's both. It's the confidence, sometimes maybe arrogance, where we know we're a better team so we can catch up. That's the point of our first quarters this year. We come out and we're getting slapped. Like I said, guys they take the challenge. Young guys come in, they have something to prove. "I'm going up against Steph Curry. I'm going up against Kevin Durant. Klay Thompson."
Obviously, four All-Stars in the starting lineup, names. They've got something to prove. So they're coming out smacking us up and then we're like, "OK. Well, we've got to play." That catches up to you if we continue to do that throughout the whole year. We've got to start plugging some of these holes.
TK: You come into the All-Star break as the 2 seed.
MT: That's like the Titanic hitting the iceberg.
TK: Here, it's like 'Whoa!'
Livingston: Crazy. Crazy.
TK: Is that a big deal to get back to No. 1?
Livingston: The goal is to be a No. 1 seed but it's not the biggest deal. I bring it up again. Two years ago, blowing everybody out of the water, but we peaked too soon. We peaked early. Now, we want to be able to peak at the right time.
MT: There has been a lot of talk about the bench. We got so used to you guys coming in, dominating games and by the fourth quarter, it's over. Once you get the starters, and then you guys finish them off, that's it. What's it been like this year? Because it seems like a lot you're coming in down 10 and now you have to make up the lead.
Livingston: You know what our defensive rating is this year? I just found that out.
TK: Overall or for that unit?
Livingston: For the second unit.
TK: Like 74 something?
MT: It's below 80, I know that.
(Correct answer: 77.4)
Livingston: You know the No. 1 defense is Boston at like 98.
(Correct answer: 100.9)
Livingston: We don't have the firepower, obviously. I mean, you've got three Hall of Famers. So, obviously there's not going to be the same scoring regardless of who you go out and get. It might be a little dropoff. But, in saying that, we have guys that can play a lot better. We have guys that can contribute more. And I think we're in a good position and I think this is the time to really start ramping up.
TK: Is there some pride with you, Andre and David on that unit and you are the veteran guys, and you're holding it together. And sometimes, it's because you have to hold it together because other things haven't worked so well.
Livingston: We might go down 30 instead of being down 15 in the first. But I think you give everybody credit. Guys come in and they make plays, they stick to the game plan. Guys don't really draw outside the lines, if you will, besides the starters.
I think we've done a good job of holding the fort. We get a chance to see in the first quarter how the game is going, who's going and we're kind of studying. Between myself, David, Andre, seeing what the teams need. And usually, it's some defense. Because teams are coming out and they're rolling in the first.
MT: We watch the games and it's clear your best players aren't playing the best, which is how you get down. You guys are all OGs, like you said, you, David, Andre. Can you guys go to them and say, "Man, you guys are leaving us a 15-point hole?"
Livingston: Absolutely. Absolutely. It's a mindset. And the thing is, too, being that we're veterans, they respect where it's coming from. Nobody is calling you out, saying that you suck or this, that and the third. It is what it is. The proof is in the pudding. So step up. Take the challenge, right? Constructively. We give each other constructive criticism and say, "Look, c'mon. Step it up."
TK: We've talked about the other players. Nick Young has gotten a shot at the backup two-guard. Patrick McCaw. Omri (Casspi) has had shots at the wing. And it hasn't quite worked for those guys. What can you tell us about those guys that makes you say, "I know it can work with those guys?"
Livingston: It's interesting you say that and just follow where I'm going. Sometimes when you have some of the greatest scorers really that the game has ever seen, right, I'm not saying you're intimidated by that, but in a way, we're relying on that, a lot. To where we take a step back in your own game. You take a step back in your own game.
So then what happens is volume shooters, they get rhythm. You've got guys coming off the bench, your job is to score. We want you to shoot, shoot, shoot. So they might go 3 for 16, nobody blinks because next game they got 20, 25. But they're getting those attempts up.
On our unit, we've got three guys getting the attempts because they earned them. So it's up to us to be efficient. That's hard to do. It's hard to be efficient and say, Marcus, you've got two shots, you've got to make them. What are you going to do with those two shots? You go 0 for 2 and you're coming out. And now it looks a lot worse. As opposed to you've got 10 shots, you might miss those first four, but then hit six in a row and its like, "Ah man, Marcus is rolling today." It's just a different opportunity and I think guys are learning how to be efficient in my role.
MT: That seems like that's been your life.
Livingston: Absolutely.
MT: Sometimes, if you don't hit that turn-around.
Livingston: Why you think I'm in that midrange? I ain't going to that 3. I'm going to get close and get that good feel, and we're in there.

LAST Thursday, the president's "engagement" with Iran began. This Wednesday, the US war in Afghanistan will enter its ninth year. And US foreign policy is entering a White Queen phase.
In "Through the Looking Glass," Alice says she is unable to believe the White Queen's claim to be 101. The Queen responds, "Try again: Draw a long breath, and shut your eyes." Alice: "There's no use trying, one can't believe impossible things." Queen: "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Regarding Afghanistan, the president might believe he can effect a Houdini-like escape, uninjured, from the box his words have built. Regarding Iran, he seems to believe its leaders can be talked or coerced (by economic sanctions) out of their long, costly pursuit of nuclear weapons by convincing them that such weapons do not serve Iran's "security."
On March 27, the president announced "a comprehensive new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan." He said his "clear and focused goal" was to prevent the Taliban from toppling Afghanistan's government, and to prevent al-Qaeda from returning to Afghanistan or Pakistan. US forces "will take the fight to the Taliban" in Afghanistan's "south" and "east" but "at the same time, we will shift the emphasis of our mission to training and increasing the size of Afghan security forces."
On Aug. 17, the president reiterated his belief that US involvement in Afghanistan is "not a war of choice. This is a war of necessity." This was two months after he replaced the US commander there with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, directing him to assess the resources required for the strategy. The general has done that. But the president does not yet want to discuss troop numbers. Why not?
The president's national security adviser, Jim Jones, a former four-star Marine general, told The Washington Post that before deciding on troop levels, the focus must be on strategy: "The bumper sticker here is strategy before resources." So, is the president reassessing his March 27 strategy? If so, why?
Perhaps because fraud devalued Afghanistan's election. But it was not a sunburst of new information that President Hamid Karzai is corrupt. Or did the president believe, as only the White Queen could, that Karzai had reformed?
A presidential strategy is half-baked if its author decides it is dubious after its first collision with difficulty.
Regarding Iran, what did we learn when we learned about the secret nuclear facility in the tunnel? That Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons? We knew that. That Iran lies? We knew that, too. We did, however, learn something when the president, at the G-20 meeting, went public with his knowledge of the facility.
On one side of the president stood France's president. On the other stood Britain's prime minister, who said Iran's behavior would "shock and anger the whole international community." Not quite. The leaders of Russia and China were not standing with the president.
China has contracted to provide Iran with gasoline, a commodity that could be central to what Defense Secretary Robert Gates calls "severe" sanctions that he thinks might cause Iran to change course. Russia's Potemkin president, Dmitry Medvedev, said something that only the White Queen could believe means that Russia will participate in serious pressure on Iran: Sanctions are not "the best means of obtaining results" but "if all possibilities" are exhausted, "we could consider international sanctions." Over to you, Queen.
Gates says "the only way" to prevent a nuclear-capable Iran "is for the Iranian government to decide that their security is diminished by having those weapons, as opposed to strengthened." But to accept that formulation requires accepting two propositions that would tax the White Queen's powers of belief.
One is that possession of nuclear weapons would make Iran less secure. The other is that Iran's regime seeks nuclear weapons merely to enhance the nation's security and not also for regional hegemony or the enjoyment of the enlarged status that comes from being a nuclear power. To believe that, draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.

by Mark Reiff, Doylestown congregation
When I was in seminary, I had a professor start a class by sharing with us the background of the word "religion" (or in the Latin, religaire): "to bind." He then asked us, What does it mean for our religion to bind us together?
I can't remember where the conversation went after that question, but as I have participated in the Structure and Identity Task Force for the new, reconciled Conference, this has been the driving question in my mind:
"What binds us together as a conference?"
For many generations, this question has been answered by some geographic grouping, both at the conference level and at the congregational level. I have often been reminded by older members at Doylestown congregation about how many of the families who are still connected to our congregation have or have had farms near the church's building. In the same way, conferences in our denomination generally grouped congregations based on geographic proximity.
Another significant piece of Mennonite church history was the work of bishops or overseers, who were responsible for ensuring that the congregations and households within their sphere conformed to a shared understanding of Christlike living. I have been told stories by older members of my congregation about their families hiding TVs or other "worldly" things when the bishop visited. These bishops played a significant role in binding up a shared identity through setting boundaries and disciplining congregations and families.
As technology has made our world smaller and allowed information to travel faster and as our lives have become more visible through social media, our attention has shifted towards binding our shared identity around other factors. As we continue to discern a way forward in our life together as a new Conference, a few reflections stick out in my mind:
- How we figure out a shared belief system will require more reflection, nuance, and grace given our polarized context. To some extent, when we declare that Jesus is Lord and the center of our faith, we are anchored together in that belief. Yet theological and ecclesial fault lines exist between and within our congregations; our cultural tendency is to take the convenient road of blasting someone with whom we disagree instead of doing the hard work of self-reflection on why their contrary belief bothers us so much. I imagine the work of Franconia's Faith and Life Commission could offer us some further wisdom in this area.
- Even a completely successful reconciliation process could result in feelings of loss and/or grief. Many of the congregations forming this new conference have already experienced seasons of loss and grief because of broken relationships and shifting affiliations. As we come together to chart a new shared journey, it is likely that many congregations will encounter new losses, which could range from missing some past traditions to saying good-bye to familiar and beloved congregations who feel God's call to connect elsewhere within the Church.
- God is good and can be trusted with our shared life. This work of creating a new conference is hard because of the energy it requires and scary because we might not always know what the end result will be. Since we have entered into this process through mutual discernment and prayer, however, we can have confidence that God will provide for us as a conference and as congregational families.
As we continue to discern our way forward as a new Conference, I invite you to reflect on your sense of belonging, both on congregational and conference levels. What binds you to your faith community and why? What binds your faith community to other faith communities and why?
As we reflect honestly on this and hear from one another, God's path forward for us will become more clear and we will be better equipped to connect with others on the journey.
