The Hà My Massacre was a massacre purportedly conducted by the South Korean Marines on 25 February 1968 of unarmed citizens in Hà My village, Điện Dương commune, Điện Bàn District, Quảng Nam Province in South Vietnam.

Prior to the massacre, Korean forces had visited the village before but were not aggressive or hostile. The massacre was purportedly conducted by the 2nd Marine Division. One survivor's testimony was that Korean forces had entered the village, ordered her family into an underground shelter and threw grenades, killing and wounding members of her family, and even targeted infants.

According to South Korean anthropologist Heonik Kwon, it was reportedly conducted in retaliation for Vietcong (VC) mortar fire on a ROK Marine Artillery Battery firebase that killed a South Korean Marine artillery Daewi (Captain), a Sangsa (First Sergeant) and four conscripts. The attack was preceded by two hours of shelling by 155 mm artillery, during which two helicopters were circling overhead the village and machine-gunning those that tried to escape. Later helicopters and trucks transported almost 200 Marines to the village who killed many more civilians at close quarters. The victims were 135 women, children and elders from the thirty households. After the massacre, the Marines bulldozed a shallow grave and buried the victims' bodies en masse and later used napalm bombs from helicopters in an attempt to destroy any evidence. Kwon states that this assault against the corpses and graves is remembered as the most inhumane aspect of the incident.

Korean forces returned to the village the next day and had flattened the village.

The region surrounding the village became a hotbed for VC activity, remaining resistant to Korean forces in the region until they were relegated to guarding bases later that year and until their departure in 1973. The commune would later earn the designation as a Hero District of the People's Armed Forces of the PAVN.

In December 2000, a memorial for the 135 victims was founded in Hà My village.

JP II adds wrestling
Jack Cavanaugh @JackCavanaughBT
In addition to having a senior class for the first time since its 2013 opening, John Paul II Catholic School will add another first this winter: a wrestling program.
Athletic director Matt Dakolios confirmed the school will roll out the new program under the direction of coach Bill Damude, a former history teacher at Beaufort High for 33 years who was hired in the spring. He previously coached at Beaufort for 26 years.
"We were fortunate to hire Bill Damude just as a teacher; we didn't hire him with any short or longterm plans of having a wrestling program," Dakolios said.
Part of the impetus to start the program was at least partially due to the transfer of two students - both sophomores - who were passionate about the sport.
"It was just a perfect mix of timing when we hired a history teacher who happened to be a very accomplished wrestling coach," Dakolios added. "With a small school like this, especially new schools, so much of what we do is driven by student interest."
With practice set to begin in about six weeks, Dakolios predicts the team will consist of at least five kids. With only 10 other SCISA teams having a wrestling program - and the closest more than an hour away - the Golden Warriors will likely schedule junior varsity teams from the nearby public schools, including Bluffton, May River, Beaufort High and more.
"The difficulty is going to be the numbers, first and foremost," Damude said. "We'll have one or two kids who have experience with wrestling."
"What my plan is to wrestle JV teams in here in the district, in the county. Beaufort County is one of the best wrestling counties in the state. Most of the high schools have a full JV team, and I thought if we could wrestle some of those guys, from a team concept, that would be better; then maybe pick out one or two individual tournaments that the kids can go to."
With a current enrollment of 200, JP II currently offers 12 different sports and 14 different teams, including men's and women's soccer and basketball, football, swimming, tennis, volleyball, softball, golf and more. For more information, go to www.johnpaul2school.org.

Workshop - How to make a website that Works.
Just a quick note to let you know that I'm returning to Docklands briefly tomorrow night (5:30-7:30 PM) to run a workshop at Servcorp's swish offices at Level 2, 710 Collins St.
I'll be covering a lot of ground, from the basics of how to generate traffic in the first place right through to how to keep your existing customers coming back for more.

Mango halwa is a very delicious sweet made with fresh mangoes, ghee and sugar and garnished with nuts. It tastes best with alphonso mangoes. Mango halwa is a cherished Indian sweet and with flavour of fresh mangoes is a real treat for mango lovers.
Wash and remove the pulp out of the mangoes. Grind the mango pulp in a mixer into a fine paste.
Heat a pan. Add 2 tablespoons of ghee. Add mango pulp and sugar and mix well.
Cook on a low flame for 20 to 25 minutes stirring in between.
Once the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and becomes little thick, it means that the halwa is ready. There will be a slight change in the colour.
Add cardamom powder and remove from the heat.
Grease a plate with ghee. Pour the mango halwa in the plate and allow it to set for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Serve mango halwa warm or cold. Either way it tastes good.
Note : If the mangoes are very sweet, you can reduce the quantity of sugar. No food colour is required to be added as mango has a natural orange colour.
Very yummy halwa and it will perfect for the summers when mango is in abundance!


A few days later, I walked into Joann Fabric looking for patterns sale and the first thing that caught my eye was this white-mesh knit fabric. WINNING!!!. I knew exactly what I was going to sew with it, so I purchased a yard of it.
I didn't use any patterns to make the cover-up. Here is exactly what I did..
1. Folded the fabric with right sides together.
3. I measured the fabric (from the folded edge to the selvage) using the measurement from step 2, then I marked it.
4. I decided how long I wanted the skirt and measured down from the previous measurement.
5. The bottom of the skirt was the same measurement as the waist measurement. (After cutting, u should have a rectangle shape fabric).
8. Hemmed the bottom of the skirt and voila! I have a "white-mesh tube/pencil skirt cover-up."
*If you do not have a serger, you can use the zig-zag stiches on your sewing machine.
If the instructions are not clear and you need me to explain further, I'd be glad to.
I also made the swimwear I have on. I used the same pattern from the DIY Zebra Print Swimwear I made a week or so ago, but I used Kente Cloth/Fabric for the bra top.

The Cutting Edge - Regional Reach Grows With Sibley's Foxhall Surgeons
CUTTING EDGE SUMMER 2013
Regional Reach Grows With Sibley's Foxhall Surgeons
From left, Foxhall Surgical Associates Peter Petrucci, Meredith Garrett, Michael Palmer, Martin Paul and Brian Long.
When Sibley Memorial Hospital joined Johns Hopkins Medicine three years ago, the merger, of course, included Sibley's roster of surgeons. But one team of surgeons, a private practice of general surgeons called Foxhall Surgical Associates, remained on the perimeter of the union—still Sibley-affiliated, but not an official part of the Hopkins family.
Last October, however, that changed, when Foxhall officially merged with Johns Hopkins Medicine. And, if the goal was to increase Hopkins' reach and exposure in the Washington, D.C., area, it was a wise move: With the addition of Foxhall—together with other surgical specialties such as orthopedics and urology—the hospital's surgery department performs an estimated 1,000 procedures each month, mostly for metro-area patients. Moreover, says Sibley surgery department chairman Martin Paul, the presence of Hopkins surgeons in that area offers an increased level of convenience for patients who might otherwise have traveled to the Baltimore campus.
"It's very helpful for Hopkins to have a footprint in this area. Many patients go to Johns Hopkins from Washington, D.C.," Paul says. "Now, though, we hope we can help some of those patients by offering Hopkins-quality care in this area, or perhaps by offering follow-up care to Hopkins patients so that they don't have to travel."
Of course, the decision to merge wasn't made by Hopkins alone—Foxhall had to agree as well. Fortunately, it was a step that physicians in the practice were ready to take. "We saw the landscape of surgery changing," Paul explains. "It's more important for physicians to align with health care systems than ever before. And, of course, being part of Hopkins was a great opportunity for us."
For now, the physicians—along with the practice's two physician assistants and 10-person administrative staff—are still housed in their longtime Washington, D.C., office space on New Mexico Avenue. Eventually though, Paul says, they hope to move into a new medical office building adjacent to the Sibley campus. Meanwhile, they hope to add another colorectal and a thoracic surgeon to their team.
"Over the last six months we have gotten to know many of the surgeons at Johns Hopkins," Paul says. "They've all been so helpful in coordinating treatment at Johns Hopkins for patients who require more complex surgery than we can perform at Sibley."
By all appearances, the union has proven mutually beneficial. The practice brings to Hopkins an extensive list of existing patients, many located in the surrounding region. Meanwhile, for the surgeons themselves, one of the greatest benefits has been the ability to turn over the administrative aspects of medicine to Johns Hopkins Community Physicians, which oversees the business and management of the Foxhall office. Now, surgeons in the practice enjoy concentrating on the practice of medicine instead of the business of it, says founding partner Peter Petrucci. "None of us are trained in the business of medicine, nor did we really enjoy it," Petrucci says. "We really wanted to focus on taking care of patients and let someone else do the administrative work. That's a big part of why we transitioned from where we were to where we are."

Oyvind leads me to this: Foodpairing.
A list was made of 250 food products each with their major flavour components. By comparing the flavour of each food product eg strawberry with the rest of the food and their flavours, new combinations like strawberry with peas can be made. The way to use is, is just to select a food product like strawberries. You will get a plot where you have strawberry in the middle surrounded by other food products. Take one of those other food products and try to make a new recipe by combining those two. The more flavours food products have in common the shorter the distance between the food products.
Wonderful. I need to leave. For the kitchen. Experiments. Lots of experiments.

Neither Edelson PC nor any other attorney member of the Consortium operate as a lawyer-advertising cooperative, lawyer referral service, prepaid legal insurance provider, or similar organization the business or activities of which include the referral of customers, members, or beneficiaries to lawyers for the performance of fee-generating legal services or the payment for or provision of legal services to the customers, members, or beneficiaries in matters for which they do not bear ultimate responsibility.

The fact that certain attorneys or firms concentrate their practices to plaintiffs' class actions (or any other field) is not meant to imply that they have gained any specific type of certification in these areas. Indeed, many states – including Illinois – do not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law and explicitly state that any such certificate, award or recognition is not a requirement to practice law in those states.

A few days ago, we were on top of Haleakala Crater on Maui. The sun was warm, and the view of the crater was clear. There was no wind, for a change, and the clouds were far below us. We stopped by a lookout on the way down from the top. It was there that I heard it: A profound Sound of Silence which touched me deeply. Somewhere inside of me, I heard and felt a stillness that I have never experienced before at this level. It was so peaceful and quiet. I felt so very blessed at receiving this precious gift. The surroundings were not only beautiful and majestic, but it inspired awe in the beholder. The Silversword plant, which only grows there, is wondrous. The clouds were coming straight up from the rain forest far below, like wisps of imagination. It was hard to leave it in order to return to the hustle and bustle far below us, catching our flight home.
I know that it is an oxymoron, for how can Silence have a Sound? Perhaps because it is the exception. Sound is a pollution present in every place inhabited by humans and animals. Some of it is pleasant, like the rustle of leaves in the wind, surf on the seashore, or a waterfall. How about the sound of a child's laughter or a cat purring? However, most sounds come from our environment: Traffic, horns, overly-loud music, neighbors fighting over some trivial thing, etc. Some we like: a newborn baby's cry, good music, conversation with a loved one or friend. Others we do not care for much because it is not within our frame of reference. Even when life is a little quieter, there are not many places where one can experience the Sound of Silence.
The stillness in my soul is now present with me, wherever I go. It is like it makes the song of birds more sweet, the flowers more colorful, and my awareness is more alive than I ever remember. I know I am more peaceful at the center of my being. I treasure this greatly.
In this stillness, it gives us a home base from which to operate. Eric Butterworth said it very well: "Be in the hub of a wheel, living life from the center instead of at the circumference." If you are caught up in the sound and fury of all the activity, guess who is at the circumference? (Is it any wonder that, at the end of the day, you feel like you have been run over by something?) But if you take a few minutes for yourself in the morning for quiet contemplation/meditation, you can respond more from the hub of the wheel (for it is very motionless there) and with a more thought-filled response to everything.
Life itself is filled with cacophony. It begins with sound of an alarm clock so we can get underway, and continues throughout each day. Perhaps the baby is crying, the young children are fighting, or the phone is ringing, and the TV is already on. Sometimes, we are so afraid of being alone that we fill our surroundings with noise, be it a computer, music, TV, cell phone, etc. Some, of course, is generated by our 24/7 lifestyles, earning money so we can afford to live in this economy. The only question is: Is your health suffering from the anxiety, stress, and overload that is in your life, caused by the choices you have made in the past? How, then, can one begin to get a handle on this? Easy: One thing at a time. Begin to thoughtfully look at your reality and see each individual thing by itself. Then you can make a decision to alter it however you can to make your life more peaceful.
Will I forever be grateful for the Sound of Silence which I experienced on Haleakala? You bet! I have a new perspective to add to the daily ingredients for living a fulfilled life.
If you are a scuba diver, a snorkeling enthusiast, a spelunker, a hiker or climber of mountains, you know whereof I speak. You have experienced the moments of Silence.
I believe that each experience becomes part of our Tapestry of Life. Some beautiful memories add in the rainbow colors, and the tears and grief add the contrast of the background. When all is said and done, your Tapestry will be unique to you alone. How do you want it to look? No one else can weave it for you. For good or ill, it is yours to do. Others can have an opinion about what you should and should not do. But you are the captain of your ship. You alone must decide how to sail it and where you are going.
If you have a stillness inside from which to make your decisions, you will be able to ACT vs. REACT. If one is always REACTING to external stimuli, you will always have greater chaos in your life. ACTING means you take time to think things through before responding. If you have a charging elephant coming at you (which few of us will ever have), you will REACT. The rest of the time, ACTING is the champion of Self Control and Calmness.
Funny thing about that is people are attracted to you because they can sense your attitude before you ever open your mouth. It emotes from you like the scent from a flower.
By utilizing this idea, Synergy is thus created. (The Secret of SYNERGY is that, once movement begins, it multiplies and continues.) Is it a worthwhile goal? Absolutely! But only you can decide that. Are you willing?
Everyone looks outside of themselves for guidance. Ask a friend. Ask an associate. Ask a boss. Ask a parent. You name it. There are as many opinions out there as there are people.
A child needs the help and guidance of the parent/parents as he/she grows. God designed it that way.
However, as we mature, we have to come to the idea that we have to make decisions on our own. One cannot depend on exterior sources forever. We can inquire into many resolutions in any way that seems fitting to us…all exterior to our minds. They can help us sort it all out. But we have to know: THE MOMENT OF ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY WILL NEVER ARRIVE!
Sooner or later, we have to decide: Get into the boat with both feet and begin to row, or get out on the bank with both feet and find a different path. You cannot go anywhere by having one foot in the boat and one on the land.
For me, it is vital to make the connection/recognition of the God Self within — the Inner Companion who will always be there for me, waiting for my attention, recognition, and listening ability. First, last, and foremost, Prayer can help me sort out what is important and what is not. My mind can be jumbled like the Dr. Dolittle's Pushmi-pullyu. I can feel stressed out, thinking about some problem that is of significance to me at that moment. Once I enter my meditation and calmness breathing, I can sort things out so much quicker. I can KNOW that everything is going to be all right, no questions asked. You see, Prayer, Meditation, and Breathing are all one — not separate functions.
Life unfolds before me in its fullness. I know that all my loved ones, problems notwithstanding, are being held in the hands of God. Each one is God's child, too. Sooner or later, each one will find whatever it is that is needed to guide them and provide for them in every way.
Doubt is the killer here. If God's phone is on busy, and I am not deserving, I am pleading for naught.
Belief is vital. God is With Me = Emmanuel. That is what it means. If God be for me, then who can be against me? Together, we form a majority. I ASK, BELIEVING that it is already done. It is moving from the unseen into the seen. When I say Amen, I know it will appear in whatever form it needs to take. I watch answered prayer every day of my life. How, then, could I not believe?
I ask God questions all the time by writing them down in a book and date it. When I get the answers, I also write them down. God is faithful and always responds through any avenue He sees fit. It might not be the answer I thought of, but it is an answer nonetheless.
God is so good to me. I can truthfully say that. I can look back over all the years, and be grateful for the good people who have come into my life: friends, loved ones all, are wonderful to my eyes. My life is full. My cup runneth over, daily. I have wonderful memories of so many delightful things.
I can look back over the tears I have shed by the bucket-full, and know that they served their purpose. I can remember all the sadness, disappointment, and dismay and know the same.
"Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very woods that was hollowed with knives?
These are treasured words for me.
Would I want to relive any of the bad memories? Nope. They came. They went.
Would I want to revive all of the good memories? Nope. They came. They went. I will treasure them always, but they are not my now.
When I am seeking Guidance, I know in my heart that: LIFE IS LIKE A SYMPHONY — ALL THE GOOD NOTES, ALL OF THE OFF NOTES, ALL THE BAD NOTES — BECOME ONE — THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
All of life's memories become a tapestry, where the dark threads only highlight the brightness and color of all the others.
Knowing this has given me great equanimity and calmness, helping me to not only ask for Guidance and in Prayer for the many needs of every single person I know, some very tragic and heart-rending, some just confused, some seemingly lost on the path, some needing healing, etc.
GOD IS THE ANSWER…WHATEVER YOU CONCEIVE OF THAT GOD…WHATEVER RELIGION…WHATEVER BELIEF SYSTEM…GOD IS THE ANSWER.
Additionally, Luke:11:12 "Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?" Same story.
Is your life chaotic? Confusing? Are you in need of more information? Guidance is available. ASK, SEEK, KNOCK. Are you willing?

The Case for Regulation
October 31, 2016 January 25, 2017 Dean Sterling Jones2 Comments
Members of UK official press regulator IMPRESS answer criticism that state-backed regulation could undermine a "vibrant local press"
Last week, I blogged about IMPRESS, which recently gained recognition as the first official press regulatory body in the UK.
The decision was made by the Press Recognition Panel (PRP), the government-funded body set up in the wake of the 2012 Leveson Report to oversee press regulation.
Under Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013, which has been passed by Parliament but is awaiting a final signature from Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, publishers who are not a member of an approved regulator could face "exemplary" damages – for instance, having to pay their opponent's costs in libel and privacy cases.
Critics argue that Section 40 could undermine a "vibrant local press" by "blackmailing" publishers into joining, otherwise face "draconian" sanctions.
I asked members of IMPRESS about the above criticisms. Here are their responses.
Stephen Rodgers – author at The Week in
I think the only people who would talk about 'state backed press regulation undermining vibrant, local press' are members of a cosy club who resisted Leveson, rejected its findings and continue to regulate themselves while using the word 'independent.'
I went through the membership process for IMPRESS and found nothing to concern me or make me think I would have to change the way I operate. In fact, I think it actually offers more protection for small organisations like mine.
I can fully understand why the nationals are throwing their toys out of the pram. Nobody has ever dared to stand up to them in the past and I really hope the government does proceed with Section 40. Given that most governments still run scared of the press, somehow I don't imagine it is going to happen though.
Martin Childs – Business Partner, Shropshire Live
We acknowledge that for their own reasons mainstream publishers may be critical of IMPRESS, but as a small independent publisher here is our reason for joining.
Being a trusted news source for our community was our top priority and it is important for us to be regulated in some way and have some support.
We were not forced to join, neither is any publication under the current rules, but we saw the benefit it could bring to a publication like ours and importantly it was a good sign for our readers to know that we can be a trusted source of local news.
It is open to any UK regulator organisation to be apply to be recognised under the Royal Charter and IMPRESS is the first to do that, so we were proud to be a member.
The Leveson inquiry was a long and detailed investigation and concluded on the ways the UK Press could be improved, making several recommendations that we think should be followed. We believe we have high ethical editorial content and recognise the importance of following certain standards as publishing content in press or online has great responsibility.
By joining IMPRESS it gives us the confidence to pursue stories knowing we have the help and backing of an independent regulator who can offer an arbitration scheme should any breach occur.
By having local press regulated it produces a higher level of quality news and journalism which can only be a good thing for all!
Spokesperson for The Ferret
The Ferret signed up because we think the media needs independent regulation to ensure public trust and we took into account the views of the National Union of Journalists who also backed Impress.
We lack the financial resources of many media so adopting Impress as our regulator offers us low-cost arbitration and potential legal protection, which is vital for our sustainability. We are committed to conducting investigations in the public interest and to publishing journalism of a high standard that is both accurate and fair. If we do receive any complaints in the future then Impress should help us to resolve them fairly and cost effectively.
Daniel Ionescu – Managing Editor, The Lincolnite
Stonebow Media are proud to be one of the founding members of IMPRESS with our three market leading publications in Lincolnshire – The Lincolnite, Lincolnshire Reporter and Lincolnshire Business. We reach more than half a million people every month, more than any traditional publisher in our patch.
Critics of IMPRESS appear to be intentionally misleading. Indeed, with Section 40, publishers not part of an approved regulator would have to pay all the costs, even if they win the case. With IMPRESS, that would not be the case.
In particular that is because before any case would go to court, it would have to go through a mediation process via IMPRESS. This mediation process is capped at £3,500, which is considerably lower than solicitors' cost, and within the financial means of most local publishers (most of which are part of national chains).
As is the case now, anyone attempting to sue a publication without attempting mediation, risks having their case thrown out. With Section 40 and under IMPRESS, it would be even more likely to stop at the mediation process. Even IPSO has a similar process in place.
Also, let's not forget the Leveson inquiry was about national publications misbehaving on an industrial scale over a long period of time. Local/regional publications have not been singled out, but as a matter of fact, actually praised for their practices.
If any local publishers are concerned about the implementation of Section 40, they should join IMPRESS and benefit from full protection and independent mediation, should that be required.
James Cracknell – Editor, Waltham Forest Echo
Trust in British journalism has collapsed after of a series of high-profile scandals (phone-hacking, Hillsborough etc) and an astonishing dedication to masking the truth that is still displayed on a daily basis by several major publications (The Sun, Daily Express etc). The need to establish a new press regulator is the direct result of this collapse in trust.
The need to make that regulator become "state backed" as you call it is also the direct result of this collapse in trust. In an ideal world, a "state backed" regulator would not be necessary, but the failings of the PCC and now IPSO, which remains just another stooge of the major publishers, means that an alternative such as IMPRESS is needed.
How else can trust be restored? Even in the EU referendum this year, it became clear that the media was failing the public by publishing lies on their front pages. Your question regarding Section 40 should not be levelled against IMPRESS; they did not write that law. As the editor of a local paper that is a member of IMPRESS I feel reassured, not undermined.
Steve McNought – Director, Arkbound
The background to IMPRESS should be considered [in context]: how the UK media [had] no Leveson-compliant regulator; how the UK has one of the most concentrated media in the world, with little diversity and ownership by three main companies; the history of inaccuracies and even illegal activity by some mainstream press; poor enforcement of the Editors Code of Conduct by IPSO; insipid and ongoing connections with mass media owners and the Government; misrepresentation of disadvantaged groups and current issues; blatant party-political propaganda by some publications (not marked as opinion)….. and so on.
By developing a consistent, Leveson-compliant framework, IMPRESS has the capacity to infuse greater public confidence, proper accountability and diversity in the media – tackling the above problems. I'm not saying IMPRESS is flawless – I've raised concerns and criticisms with them myself – but I believe they are a much needed step forward.
It seems to me that references to 'blackmailing' and 'draconian sanctions' are misplaced and inaccurate. One could frame the 'regulation' of IPSO and the [non]enforcement of the Editors Code of Conduct – to the great detriment of individuals, disadvantaged groups and society as a whole – in a far worse light.
…I believe there is a strong case for a properly regulated media, in line with the Leveson Report and recommendations thereof. Most democratic nations have some form of enforceable code of conduct for the press, which helps uphold accuracy and deters the inappropriate promotion of powerful private interests (as has become the modus operandi of the UK's media). It is not a question of organisations being forced to comply, but of them not breaking a code of conduct that exists to protect (not undermine) media freedom and its public interest connotations.
It is about re-asserting good journalism values – taking media back as a tool for information, education and enlightenment. Those principles originate from the Renaissance Printing Press that resulted in a new age of progress, something that (arguably) has never been emulated since. Like all tools, without some kind of oversight or regulatory framework, such a mechanism of good can be used for less laudable purposes. To any informed and impartial mind, a glance through the UK's tabloids (and many of the purportedly better publications) is proof of that. I could quote a few examples but this email would soon end up becoming the length of a book.

Business and organization make donation for tornado relief
By: Morgan Hinzman / Editor - Updated: 1 month ago
BUCKHANNON — One local organization and one local business joined in the tornado relief efforts, headed by David Beckner, on Monday, December 20.
David Beckner, along with multiple volunteers, worked to gather donations and supplies to take to Kentucky as a way of lending a helping hand to West Virginia's stately neighbor. The donations were made by groups and people from multiple counties for those suffering loss from the disaster. Most recently, Beckner and his crew set up shop in the vacant lot across from Floyd Signs. The donation site began on Sunday and will continue until 4 p.m. Tuesday, December 21.
The WV Classic Wheels Car Club got wind of the donations and wanted to do their part for the relief efforts. The club, led by President Jim Gifford, often supports local organizations and efforts throughout Upshur County. Gifford met with Beckner and other volunteers to donate a check for $1,000.00 to be used to purchase items for the victims.
"I feel like God put it on our hearts to help others. These guys aren't just giving gifts; they are giving hope," said Jim Gifford, the father of volunteer Jamie Gifford.
Buckhannon Lowes also wanted to make a small contribution by offering supplies to be used in the clean up and rebuilding efforts. Cody McGee, Lowes Store Manager, along with his associates, love supporting the community and its members.
"I have been with Lowes for eight years now and I've been a part of multiple different locations and it seems like every location that I've worked at, or been a part of, always finds a way to get involved with the community and do things like this," said McGee. "We want to impact people and families around the state and around the country. We try to impact as many people as we can with it. When Dave [Beckner] and Robbie [Skinner, Mayor of Buckhannon] came to me with this specific situation and the great thing that Dave is doing, it was a great situation for us to get involved with. My leadership really takes it passionately and one thing that they love about working for Lowe's is getting the chances to do things like this for their community and for other communities."
Here in Buckhannon, Lowes is really involved in the community and says they will continue to be. McGee stated "not only does it look good on Lowes, but it looks good on the families and the associates that we give a chance to impact, as well outside of the company. So it's a great thing and I was excited to be a part of it, but I've never been as heavily a part of a community as I have in the year since I moved here to Buckhannon."
"Mayfield, Kentucky is a very small community, very similar to Buckhannon. I know that a lot of people here are very interested in donating and being a part of the recovery effort there because we know what it's like to live in a small community that has faced it's own set of tragedy over the years," said Mayor Robbie Skinner. "West Virginia, of course, suffered a tremendous tragedy in 2016, when the floods came and ravaged the southern part of our state and Kentucky and other states came to our aid whenever we were in need, so I think it's important for us to be good neighbors and give what we have to them, especially this time of year and all that they've endured."
Beckner was at a loss for words, seeing what the community has done in such a short amount of time.
"What Mayor Skinner and Cody have done to get this off the ground is amazing. Before I came here, I was having a conversation with Robbie [Messenger] and Jamie [Gifford]. Robbie said we were in trouble. He said there are six Walmarts from Elkins to Grafton that are coming with four to six truckloads each. We thought we were done. We are full. There is no way."
A simple idea of one truck of toys has turned into more than Beckner and his friends could have ever imagined. Currently, the group is looking for volunteers to assist in the transportation of donations. Anyone who owns a truck and trailer and can volunteer their time this holiday season may contact David Beckner at 304-613-6999.
After speaking to Pastor Ken of First Christ Church in Mayfield, Beckner was informed of a town just outside of Mayfield. A small town called Fulton housed close to 6,000 people. Due to its size and the lack of publicity around it, Fulton will now be the second stop for the group and donations. The men will leave Wednesday at midnight, as to be sure and arrive by early Thursday. The group will start in Mayfield and continue spreading the love in Fulton, Kentucky.

This Week's Best Paranormal News – January 11th, 2019
January 11, 2019 Mike Huberty	Leave a comment
It's Mike from See You On The Other Side, just going over some of the coolest news stories we saw this week. Let's cut to the chase…
https://nypost.com/2019/01/06/sonic-attacks-at-us-embassy-in-cuba-may-have-just-been-crickets/
'Sonic attacks' at US Embassy in Cuba may have just been crickets
The "sonic attacks" that afflicted diplomats at the US Embassy in Cuba could have just been the work of crickets, according to a report Sunday. So crickets are causing hearing damage now? I smell a coverup!
http://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/jan/09/repeating-fast-radio-bursts-from-deep-space-could-be-aliens
Mysterious fast radio bursts from deep space 'could be aliens'
Doesn't mean it's aliens, in fact, the guy that was all excited about Oumuamua being aliens, Avi Loeb, is the guy they're quoting here. Saw this on everyone's feeds this week, so I thought we should mention it.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8034586/near-death-experience-ski-accident-austria/
Skier who 'died for 20 MINS in avalanche saw afterlife before coming back'
Rhianna Shaw made the chilling decision to stop breathing, after an avalanche in St. Anton, Austria, fully encased her in snow.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6563611/Plane-debris-washed-beach-Madagascar-likely-came-MH370.html
Plane debris that washed up on a beach 'most likely' came from MH370
Remember when CNN was the MH370 Channel? I feel like this news should be a bigger deal. A report from the MH370 Safety Investigation Team said most of the debris recovered was from an aircraft and a floor panel found belonged to a Boeing 777, 'most likely MH370'.
http://themoscowtimes.com/news/russian-patriarch-warns-antichrist-will-control-humans-through-gadgets-64060
Russian Patriarch Warns 'Antichrist' Will Control Humans Through Gadgets
In an interview, Patriarch Kirill warned against "falling into slavery" to smartphones. Someone call Kirk Cameron before we all get "left behind"!

Marilyn Manson – Antichrist Superstar
Speaking of the Anti-Christ, it's the man that was demonized in the 90s, Brian Warner AKA Marilyn Manson. Naming has band members half after super models and half after notorious killers, the man has never been accused of good taste. Is he still shocking? I dunno, but some of those songs are still excellent! Here's the title track of his breakthrough album.
If you missed our conversation earlier this week, we talked about the Lost Franklin Expedition, the Doomsday Clock, new horror films based on real-life ghost stories, and Britain's most famous UFO incident. You can listen to that episode right here.
New episode out late Monday night, so we'll see you on the other side of the weekend!
P.S. Hat tip to our Patreon, C.E. Martin for forwarding this hilarious cartoon. It's always nice to see the weird stuff enter the mainstream!

97 – The Christian Whistleblower: An Interview With Jeffrey Daugherty
June 23, 2016 Mike Huberty	1 Comment
http://traffic.libsyn.com/othersidepodcast/SYOTOS-97.mp3
Jeffrey Daugherty spent twenty years of his life as a Christian preacher and over a hundred thousand hours studying the New Testament in its original language. By looking at the native text, he started seeing a stark difference in the books written by the apostle Paul versus the apostle John.
These differences led to a crisis of faith for Daugherty, who was conflicted between his discoveries and the Church that he had given his whole life to. He had a family to provide for and his entire existence revolved around his affiliation with his church, from where he lived to what he ate to who he spent his time with. As he talked to his elders and asked them about the contradictions, his concerns were swept under the carpet with the "God works in mysterious ways" response or being told that his interpretation was mistaken or his faith just wasn't strong enough.
But that wasn't enough for Jeffrey Daugherty. He saw an agenda in the writings of Paul, an agenda of control and manipulation that seemed contradictory to the teachings of Jesus. Using the modern standard of the Bible, the King James Version, Daugherty saw changes in the text over time, once by being vetted and translated by the Roman Empire early in Christianity's history and again by the English king in the Seventeenth Century.
He re-edited the New Testament so that the books are in chronological order and with Paul's writings removed and this Diamond New Testament is the place he believes you should start if you really want to understand what Jesus (who Daugherty refers to as Yeshua to separate him from the character created in Paul's testament) was trying to say.
Moving on from there, with his Final Message From The Last Apostle book, The Christian Whistleblower finds an extraterrestrial alien agenda in the original language of the writings of the Apostle John. And then his book, Apostle Paul Anti-Christ, is about the fear and guilt used to control humanity by studying the original text of Paul's writings. His books are absolutely fascinating and to say his writing and research is provocative is a massive understatement.
This is more than your standard "organized religion is a scam to control humanity by unscrupulous bishops and priests", Daugherty is flat out saying that a dark being is using Christianity itself to set the stage to take over our planet.
And if that is the kind of idea that you find fascinating like we do, then you're going to want to learn more about The Christian Whistleblower and check out more of his books and videos. His combination of scholarship, earnestness, and dynamic presentation might even make you a believer.
This week's song is an unreleased Sunspot track that we arranged for acoustic guitar and violin, "Flesh and Blood".
Why did you let them take control.
of your mind?
Why couldn't you see the could burst,
in your eye?
And I won't believe
in a love that deceives
and I won't waste my faith foolishly
on cosmic rays
and mysterious ways
that never gave a damn for us anyway
And heaven and earth can fade away
and the mountains might fall
and all the power to which we pray
might never answer our call
Flesh and blood is all we've got to survive
There but for grace or lack of, go I
You dreamed of Hell but you forgot
to look inside
The gravity of your hate weighs you down,
so why don't you fight?
And the tragedy of humanity
is to know our shells might be empty
and do you feel no shame
for all these lives in vain?
Who would kill themselves just to honor his Name?

Audrey is like most middle-aged women who have worked hard all of their adult life to further their career while supporting their husband and his career. She has a weight problem in her mind, but she is at the point in her life where she can travel when she wants to and buy pretty much anything she wants. Yet, money is not everything. Her husband is always out of town on business, her daughter hardly speaks to her and her son just got put in jail for murder. Yet, nothing could have prepared her for the shock of her life she received when she convinced her rebellious twenty-three year old daugther Rosa-Lee to get in their Motor-home and take a road trip with her.
On the first night Audrey is prepared for a night of gambling in Shreveport and a Mother and daughter reconnection as soon as her daughter Rosa-Lee took a nap to re-cooperate from all the beer she had drank while they were driving that day. While checking on things at their family vacation condo in Shreveport, she realizes that the Condo is being occupied. Who had her husband rented it to without telling her?
This book is captivating! I was anxious each time I turned another page. This lady was just like many of the women I know who have been lucky enough to have lived past forty and still be able to hold onto their sanity. Raising kids and watching them turn into adults. Then watching their husbands, who they have supported all of their married life turn into middle-aged, selfish strangers. Then along comes the man of their dreams, but is he really?


I am not a self-published author, at least not yet, but as part of my research, I've been reading self-published ebooks on Amazon. As a writer, it's an excellent exercise in what not to do, but as a reader it can be an experience that leaves one's eyes spinning round as one slaps one's head against the e-reader in sheer frustrated fury.
First, lets talk about the difference between a serial and a series, because too many self-pub authors seem to have no clue (either that, or they're outright lying, and I prefer to believe them ignorant than deceitful).
A serial is single story published in parts. A popular form in the 19th century, serializing has become popular for self-pub ebook authors. For one, a complete novel might sell for $4.99 but a novel published in several parts, even with the first offered for free to "hook" the reader into buying the rest, could sell all together for nearly twice that.
A series is two or more books about the same characters and/or setting. It may or may not have an overarching plot. The alphabet detective books by Sue Grafton are an example of series without an overarching plot. The Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling are an example of a series with an overarching plot. What each book in both types of series has is a beginning, a middle, and an end. Book one of the second type doesn't resolve the overarching plot but it does solve the immediate story problem. The point is, there's an end, a resolution.
The worst thing is to buy Book One of a Series and realize it isn't, it's merely Part One of a Serialized Novel. It makes me as a reader feel lied to, and I won't buy the rest no matter how good it may have been. I'm not opposed to serials, but for the love of all things written, correctly label your work! Your readers will thank you!
Last week I read a story in first person POV where the character was supposed to be a best selling novelist. If you're going to do this, you better at least have a clue as to sentence structure and grammar, and preferably a broader vocabulary when it comes to descriptions. I could believe a third person best selling novelist in a badly written story, but not first person. Also, when did switching POV become a "thing" in first person narratives? Did I miss the memo?
I'm not a big fan of first person POV to begin with, but it seems to be the thing to do these days, for no apparent reason. Didn't writers used to consider POV carefully, to decide the best one to use?
Last gripe, which is not so much bad writing per se, but a bad habit of some writers. If you ask for critique on your writing, you are asking a reader to give their opinion. It's like asking their favourite colour, there is no wrong answer. Maybe you were trying something and it didn't work for that person, then it didn't work for that person. Maybe yeah, they didn't "get it" but you don't go tell them they're wrong. Don't change it if only one reader has an issue with it. But when several readers point out the same thing, and you tell them all they're wrong, and you did what you did deliberately...they are telling you that, deliberate or not, you failed. Now accept the crit, use it or don't, but move on.
I saw this where several readers posted near identical crit and the author corrected them...and all crit after that was only praise, which seemed to be the only kind the writer wanted. Writers like that make it hard for people who genuinely want to improve to get honest crit. Stop, you're ruining it for us all.
Sometimes, length does matter. When I was first learning to write, "A story is as long as it takes to tell" was the first and last advice on the subject I needed. But when I started publishing, word count suddenly took on importance.
So what if a story only needs 25,000 +/- words to tell it? I don't know, yet. Watch this space!
As an introvert, putting myself "out there" as an Author is the most difficult thing to learn; even more difficult than learning to write in a manner that doesn't induce rampant cringing.
I've had this Weebly site for some time, but it has taken much research and several revamps to turn it into something that may actual work for me. This is the New and Improved version!
I will be talking about what I'm writing, but to be honest I'll mostly be making snarky comments on other authors' mistakes. Not to be mean (I won't name and shame), but to remind me - and hopefully others - of what not to do as we put together our respective works.


Ok. I was at the Dallas Farmer's Market on Sunday attending the Chef's for Farmer's Oyster Bash. (Saving that for another post.) So when we were done, if I'm at a Farmer's Market, I simply have to look around. If you haven't been in a while like me, the Dallas Farmer's Market is pretty awesome. I said to Ed that one day, I should open a GREAT Farmer's Market in Fort Worth. Not sure why we can't support a big one here, but anyway…we'll figure that out later.
So I bought a box of tomatillos in their beautiful green paper husks, knowing that I would create something during the week. This is so easy. I didn't really measure anything as I was making it, so these are (pretty close) estimates of how much I used of everything. I had everything on-hand already, except the tomatillos. Again – the well-stocked pantry is the home cook's best friend.
Place tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapenos, salt and pepper in food processor or blender and mix until blended. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add oil to skillet and heat to a pretty high temp. Brown chicken top down for about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook another 2 minutes. Add sauce to skillet and cook for about 15 minutes on medium low. Serve over rice.


Swallowed Whole has thus far released one album, Megalomania, on which all the tracks are based around some of history's biggest egomaniacs. Most songs could be classified as some sort of blackened death metal with a bit of funeral doom elements thrown in. The last track, Jim Jones, however, is more along the lines of atmospheric/ambient black metal/DSBM.
