I am writing this letter to you today to discuss the issue of bullying. I know that bullying has been a problem for some time but nobody has seemed to really tackle it. Bullying can be mentally and physically hurtful to others. It can happen in many different ways and all of them are uncool. I personally was bullied for a while and I know it does not take much to hurt someone. To help stop bullying parents should work to help their kids build confidence, courage, strength and bravery. Parents should also talk to their kids about what is happening and help them at home. No one should tell a child to just ignore a bully and think they will stop because that does not work. Kids need help from adults to cope with bulling and to make it stop.
Thank you for sharing my letter.


Time's up TriCare! Demolish the derelict Salvin Park Nursing Home now.
Last year, TriCare, the owners of the derelict Salvin Park Nursing Home at 880 Creek Road, committed in writing that demolition of the old buildings would kick-off early in 2018.
Since then, there has been ongoing vandalism of the site, including at least two serious fires. This vandalism not only causes significant safety and amenity concerns for local residents, it has also created an ongoing drain on resources for emergency services and police.
The local community has patiently waited long-enough! We demand immediate action from TriCare to ensure that this derelict facility is demolished and cleaned-up ASAP, without further delay.
TriCare: Time's up TriCare! Demolish the derelict Salvin Park Nursing Home now.

At 28, Diane Warren Had Yet To Write Any Of Her Oscar-Nominated Songs
At 65, she now has 12 Oscar nominations under her belt.
by Hugh McIntyre
If you've watched Armageddon, Con Air, or Pearl Harbor, you've experienced Diane Warren's songwriting prowess. With 12 Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song spanning five decades, Warren has become an Oscar-season regular who's written iconic songs like Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live," and Faith Hill's "There You'll Be." Now, she's vying for her 13th nod for Reba McEntire's "Somehow You Do," which she wrote for the film Four Good Days starring Glenn Close and Mila Kunis.
But Oscar contention was far from Warren's mind in 1984, when she was a 28-year-old with a burgeoning songwriting career in Los Angeles. Though songs she'd written were on the radio and had made the Billboard charts, she admits that none of her early career successes felt right or real.
"I wanted my songs to be heard. I wanted to have hit records," Warren tells Bustle. "I wanted everybody to hear my songs all over the world." A few years later, they would, when Warren got her first chart-topper with the 1987 Starship power ballad "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now." With global ubiquity also came awards: She won a Grammy in 1997 for Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me," and an Emmy in 2016 for Lady Gaga's "Til It Happens To You," but the Oscar has continued to elude her — so much so that every year fans post "I hope you finally win"-style tweets and major publications write "Warren loses out again" headlines.

Now 65, Warren is still hoping for that elusive Oscar. She also released her first full studio album — Diane Warren: The Cave Sessions Vol. 1 — on which artists like John Legend, Maren Morris, G-Eazy, Luis Fonsi, Lauren Jauregui, Jon Batiste, Rita Ora, Carlos Santana, Leona Lewis, and Pentatonix bring her lyrics to life. And despite her almost comical lack of a certain golden statue on her mantle, she sees her many nominations from her peers as a sign of longevity.
"I'm the most-nominated woman in any category in Oscar history to not have won," Warren says. "I'm kind of proud of that. I wish they'd give an award for that."
Below, Warren remembers how she felt earning her first Oscar nomination more than 30 years ago, and discusses the songs that have a special place in her heart.
Take me back to 1984. How were you feeling about your life and career when you were 28?
You know, I was probably a little frustrated because I didn't have my first really big hit yet. That would come the next year. I was 29 with "Rhythm of the Night" [by DeBarge]. I was working and working hard. I recall that and kind of waiting for my first break really, you know?
Could you feel that it was coming? Like you were almost there?
I always felt that. It's, you know, that overnight success that takes forever. But I knew it was going to happen. I had no doubt. I never doubted that I'd be successful, but I never imagined this level. I knew I'd make it. My first Oscar nomination was three years after that, which was in 1988, [for "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship].
How did it feel to finally have that happen?
That was the coolest, I'll tell you. What's interesting about the Oscar nominations is ... I've had 12. Of course, it's exciting. Every time I've been nominated, I've been jumping up and down and happy and beyond thrilled. Because it's not easy to get nominated for an Oscar, unlike the Grammys where there are tons of song categories. With the Oscars, there's five [slots] and there's a lot of songs released every year and lots of movies. And if you look at the people that are in the music branch of the Academy [of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences], those are the best of the best of the best of the best of the best composers and songwriters that are living today. So if they nominate me, I'll jump up and down, absolutely. It's always very exciting.
I mean, I stay up all night waiting for the nominations. I love when some people go, "Oh, I don't care. My manager called me." Cut that off. You're up. You're not sleeping.
I do appreciate that you're honest about it.
I'm totally excited.
Do you ever get tired of talking about Oscar nominations?
I'm happy, and it's a new song every year. Like this year, I'm talking about another new one. You know what, I'm happy to be in the game. My first nomination was 33 years ago. That was 1988. How crazy is that? If I had a choice of winning and never being nominated again, I would totally choose not winning and being nominated 12 times because that's longevity. That's respect among your peers, and my peers are pretty badass.
If you could go back in time and talk to your 28-year-old self, what advice would you have?
Just keep doing it. But I didn't even have to give myself that advice, because my 28-year-old self knew that already.
Was there something you did at that age that you regret?
No. I think I've been pretty smart with the choices I've made and the decisions I've made. I wouldn't really want to change anything. I love that things happen the way they're supposed to happen. That's what I really believe.
I love that. Because if I could go back, there are things I'd say like, "Don't do this," "Work faster," or something.
Oh, there's things I'd maybe [change] with personal relationships and things like that, but not in my work. No. I can't complain.
I am personally a big award nerd. The Grammys —
I never win that. I've been nominated a couple of times! It's funny, people think I've won a lot of Grammys. I only won one Grammy like 25 years ago for "Because You Loved Me."
Is there one of your 12 Oscar-nominated songs that has a special place in your heart?
"Because You Loved Me." Even though I wrote that for Up Close and Personal, it was a way to thank my dad for believing in me. The song I wrote that Lady Gaga sings, "Til It Happens To You," was really powerful and culturally important because it shifted a lot of stuff with Me Too and people talking about sexual assault. That song goes beyond that movie, because it could be about whatever you're going through. People try to say, "It's going to be OK; everything's fine." But when you're in the middle of going through something traumatic, you don't know it. They don't know what you're going through.
My song "Stand Up for Something" [by Andra Day featuring Common] has kind of become like a protest anthem. I'm proud of that. I'm proud of a lot of these songs for different reasons. The song I did this year, "Io sì (Seen)" with Laura Pausini, it's Italian and I really love that song. I love what it says — that I want you to know that you're seen because a lot of people don't feel seen.

Jack White- Blunderbuss
Label: Third Man
Released 4/26/12
"Blunderbuss" is White's first official solo album, and it comes five years after The White Stripes' last. In the meanwhile, the man has not sat still: he's been making music with The Raconteurs, Dead Weather, Third Man Records, and many others. This solo outfit is quieter than his other endeavors: there's gentler blues, softer guitars, and cool touches of the electric piano. There's lots of acoustic, given that Meg is missing at the drums. This album is, if not in so many words, most about divorce: each song is tinged with the sadness of failed love and the pain it leaves behind. Even so, it's sweet and full of warm melodies that stay in the mind and heart to stir up as much joy as they do pain. If you're a Stripes continuant, this album should be in your collection.

Gildas The Wise
St Gildas (ca 500-570) was born into Royalty in Scotland on the banks of the Clyde. He had four brothers, three of which became monks and the fourth, acceded to his father's throne. He received a monastic education and, like his three brothers, chose to forsake his royal heritage for a religious life.
After his studies, St Gildas went to Ireland and was ordained a Priest. He became a greatly respected teacher in both Ireland and Britain, converting many to Christianity and establishing numerous Churches and Monasteries. He was renowned for his Biblical knowledge and literacy style, which earned him the name, 'Gildas the Wise'.
On a return journey from Rome, St Gildas settled on the Isle of Houat, off Brittany, where he lived a solitary and austere life. He died at Rhuys in Brittany where he had established an Abbey.
St Gildas' Feast Day is 29th January, the day of his death. He is Patron Saint of Welsh historians and bell founders.

Today's Prayers & Reflections:
Good Thief Prayer
My Crucified Jesus, wash me with your most Precious Blood.
Look upon me as the good thief, who hung on the cross next to You at Calvary. A sinner, paying for his crimes but recognizes your divinity and begs for mercy and forgiveness and asks: "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom"
Dear Lord, look upon me like the Good Thief and I should be so lucky, full of Peace. Amen.
Prayer For The Holy Souls
Souls In Purgatory
(November Remembrance)
"Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen".
(Prayer was given to St Gertrude during a vision from Jesus with the promise that 1000 souls would be released from purgatory when prayed.)
♥ Jesus, Thank You ♥
St Bridget
St Bridget and all Holy Saints:
Help me to live Jesus' Gospel as I go about my work today.
Seek for me the grace to walk faithfully in the path of perfection.
Steer me to a happy and holy death with life everlasting in your blessed company.
Thank you, my Jesus, for your countless blessings. Amen.

20180809 - Barely up in the am, got ready and stumbled out the door. Got to work and dove in reviewing best practices for Change Control. Had a couple really good meetings on getting the process defined and documented. Played a couple more games of shuffleboard and lost... had lunch in the break room and then did some config on the new handbook site before heading out late. Home and hung out on the back porch while L grilled some dinner. We ate and then L&I ran to Home Depot to get some stuff to fix the kitchen sink, then to Meijer for some supplies and then home. The Mallonns stopped over and Penn helped with the sink repair. G&I hung out on the back porch playing on our phones and watching syfy. To bed and up late doing booster stuff, L up most of the night coughing.


"Houston's embattled equal rights ordinance took another legal turn this week when it surfaced that city attorneys, in an unusual step, subpoenaed sermons given by local pastors who oppose the law and are tied to the conservative Christian activists that have sued the city.
"The subpoenas were issued to several high-profile pastors and religious leaders who have been vocal in opposing the ordinance. The Alliance Defending freedom">freedom">Freedom has filed a motion on behalf of the pastors seeking to quash the subpoenas."
Criminalizing free speech . . . silencing opposing views...that's the American left in a nutshell.

One of the less frequently used yet useful reports provided by Google AdWords is Reach and Frequency report. If you advertise using placement-targeted campaigns, AdWords' Reach and Frequency Performance report helps you see how many users saw your placement-targeted ads and how frequently they viewed them over a period of time.
To generate this report, Google calculates data by estimating the frequency of your ads from a sample data and then extrapolating it to a full set of impressions to determine their estimated reach. The report also includes a metric called cost-per-head. The cost-per-head is the average cost for you ads to reach an individual audience.
This report will only go as far back as January 1, 2007 and does not include search network. Reports are available for daily, weekly, and monthly time periods, as well as for the cumulative daily statistics (summary).
The Reach and Frequency report lets you know how many unique visitors (IP addresses) you have reached, and how many times your ads have reached them. The report provides stats on two main metrics: reach and frequency.
In order to increase frequency you need to narrow down your targets, and in order to increase your reach, you need to broaden the networks your ad is showing on.
You can use frequency capping setting to limit the number of times your ads appear to the same unique user on the Content Network.
You can limit the number of times your ads are served to an individual user per day, per week, or per month by turning on frequency capping for a campaign. You can also choose if the cap applies to each ad, or to each ad group.


KRQE stated that Ladell Light, a drunk driver, has died after leading police on a high speed chase which ended in a multi-vehicle crash. Police officials from Farmington, New Mexico responded to someone's 911 phone call reporting the suspicion of a drunk driver driving a vehicle near Walmart on Main Street. According to police reports, a legal officer approached Light, who was pumping gas, and noticed that he showed obvious signs of impairment. The police officer tried to prevent Light from driving his car, however, Light managed to get back in the car and drive away. It was reported that the legal officer ran back to his police unit to pursue the subject and called out on the radio that a suspected drunk driver had fled.
Not too far away, another legal officer spotted Light's drunk driving and speeding. It was said that Light was driving at a high rate of speed, swerving into oncoming traffic consequently coming close to causing several accidents. The police officer began to chase Light, when he crashed into another car, hit a pick up truck, and hit a third car. It was noted that Light received critical injuries and was taken to the nearest hospital, where he was declared dead. Local police officials are still working on the details of the case.

Fox's reboot of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson is an experience not to be missed. Its vivid photography and animation set to an elegant scientific narration sublimely invites the general public into a state of wonder at the cosmos and gratitude for our own rare, brief, and precious existence. There are few moments as powerful as when Tyson paraphrases Carl Sagan's famous explanation to the Cosmos' audience that, "the nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of star stuff." The beauty and power of this knowledge are decentralizing: we are moved out of a moment-to-moment, day-to-day tunnel vision to contemplate the microscopic breath of human life in the space of all history.
Indeed, in terms of the cosmos creation, we humans are but a blip on the radar of the multiverse. And yet, there are few things more scientifically certain than the reality that human activities are the single greatest cause of the destruction of our planet's riches from the depletion and overconsumption of mineral resources to the destruction of plant and animal species as well as entire ecosystems. While humanity currently engages in wars between 24 countries and 144 armed conflicts between militia-guerrillas, separatist and anarachic groups, not to mention the structural violence of the ilk of unbridled capitalism, racism, patriarchy, and heterosexism, humanity is murdering creation. Elizabeth Johnson is one contemporary Catholic theologian eloquently responds to the reality of ecocide and the relationship between evolutionary science and Christian belief in her new work, Ask the Beasts: Darwin and the God of Love.
Destruction and extinction play an important part in Darwin's evolutionary theory, indicating the effects continental breakups, asteroid collisions, and naturally occurring climactic shifts have on natural life, and illuminating how the clearing of certain species makes way for new ones. The novelty of extinction in our time is that is occurs primarily at the cost of humanity's so-called 'progress.' While suffering and extinction are part of the nature of things, humanity's activities have greatly exacerbated these realities. How does one proceed theologically in light of this reality?
"The reasoning runs like this. This person, Jesus of Nazareth, was composed of star stuff and earth stuff; his life formed a genuine part of the historical and biological community of Earth; his body existed in a network of relationships drawing from and extending to the whole physical universe. If in death this 'piece of this world, real to the core,' as Rahner phrases it, surrendered his life in love and is now forever with God in glory, then this signals embryonically the final beginning of redemptive glorification not just for other human beings but for all flesh, all material beings, every creature that passes through death. The evolving world of life, all of matter in its endless permutations, will not be left behind but will likewise be transfigured by the resurrecting action of the Creator Spirit. The tomb's emptiness signals this cosmic realism. The same early Christian human that recognizes Christ as 'firstborn of the dead' also names him 'the firstborn of all creation' (Col. 1.15).
We humans are remarkable creatures, being capable of both great destruction and great selfless love. Yet, ultimately, we are not the most important thing to the world or to the universe (or the multiverse). As much as we are creatures ourselves, the work of creation could and will go on without us. Our existence is extraneous to the rest of creation—it doesn't need us. But, as believers in the divine may tell us, we exist to bear witness to and encounter the peril and salvation of creation. This self-aware witnessing makes us unique to known creation, allowing us to recognize both the humble giftedness that comes with our merely being alive and the gravity of the sheer destruction we have uniquely perpetrated on creation. Circling back to our mention of Neil deGrasse Tyson and Cosmos, three things stand out as ways to move forward in hope out of this martyrdom we have perpetrated on creation.
"This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a single global civilization.
This hope, determination, and good will in a vast and awesome universe speak to the best parts of humanity, especially its desire to discover, know, and love the good, recognizing that such good is often beyond what it is to be human or even earthly. This inspires a humility about our place in the wideness of cosmic creation—there is so much good that is yet unknown, and we will cherish the small portion of what we can discover, spurring us on to new quests.
The second moment of hope is an outreach to those at the margins. At the end of the first episode of Cosmos, Neil deGrasse Tyson speaks of his first meeting with Carl Sagan, then the most famous living astronomer. Tyson's undergraduate application to Cornell dripped with passion for astrophysics and was forwarded to Sagan, a faculty member there, who promptly invited the 17-year old Bronx native to take the bus to Ithaca, NY, on a snowy Saturday to spend the afternoon visiting his lab in the hopes of encouraging the young man's pursuit his vocation at Cornell. As Sagan dropped Tyson off at the bus stop to return home, the snow began to fall more heavily and Sagan gave Tyson his home phone number and offered his home to spend the night should the weather conditions suspend his travel. This renowned, important, and busy man made time on a specific day to nurture the interests of one particular and unknown young man, teaching him forever not only the kind of scholar but the kind of person he wanted to become. Sagan's outreach was to a young stranger, someone on the margins of his field, and yet he took the time to nourish Tyson's budding curiosity in the universe and his own vocation. This is that second hope for the future: choosing with whom we spend our time and how we spend our time and ensuring that it includes those who are at the margins.
Finally, beyond these moments of reaching into the cosmos and outward to marginalized persons, what Tyson, Sagan, Darwin and Johnson remind us of is that perhaps our lives are not about us; that is, human life ought not to be humanocentric. We exist in a delicate balance with nature and the cosmos – a balance that more recent minds remind us we are destroying. Ultimately, while we must care for ourselves and other humans, if we cannot also care for the rest of the tree of life, all of creation, ourselves included, will suffer. With Elizabeth Johnson, Christians are reminded that belief in the resurrected Christ means taking the long view of salvation by participating now in a deep resurrection, not just of ourselves, but the whole of creation.
