Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

News From the Past (Sept. 21)
Track and field: Alex boys and girls have record days at state true team
The Alexandria track and field teams were in Stillwater on Friday at the Class AAA state true team meet, and that atmosphere brought out the best in them.
Written By: Eric Morken | May 18th 2019 - 8am.
Both the boys and girls had school record-setting performances. Senior Kaye Paschka broke her own school record in the 300-meter hurdles as she took second in Stillwater with a time of 44.79 seconds. The boys 4x100 relay team of Kristen Hoskins, Cody Branson, Nolan Morical and Drew Olson broke a school record that had stood since 2001 by winning the true team title in 42.50 seconds. Olson also broke Alexandria's 200-meter record with a time of 21.73 that put him in second place after also taking second in the 100-meter dash in 10.91 seconds.
The Alexandria girls came into the state meet projected to finish in ninth place but climbed all the way to fourth. They scored 983.5 points. Rosemount was first at 1,137.5 and Wayzata (1,123.5) and Stillwater (1,004) finished off the top three.
The Alexandria boys were ninth overall with 718 points. Hopkins won the championship with 1,243 points, and Wayzata (1,180.5) and Mounds View (1,093.5) were second and third.
The Alexandria girls racked up huge points in their throws again.
Mya Lesnar won the shot put with a throw of 46-05.25, while McKenzie Duwenhoegger was second (43-04.25) and Hailey Gill was fourth (38-07.75). Lesnar also took second in the discus (145-00). Duwenhoegger was third (131-00) and Christina Palmer was sixth (119-04).
Top-10 finishes at this meet mean big points, and Alexandria had plenty of them. Hannah Quitmeyer was eighth in the 100 dash (13.03), while Addison Rodel was ninth in the 400 (59.96).
Bethany Miller got the distance events going with a fourth-place finish in the 800-meter run in 2:23.41), while sister Jaelyn Miller was 10th (2:25.03).
Paschka's day included a third-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles in 15.26, a fifth-place finish in the triple jump (35-05) and a sixth-place finish in the long jump (17-01.50). Hailie Kent was also eighth in the triple jump with a mark of 34-07.50.
In relays, Alexandria was eight in the 4x100, eighth in the 4x200, seventh in the 4x400 and fourth in the 4x800.
The sprinters have led the Alexandria boys throughout the spring, and they helped pave the way again on Friday.
Hoskins was not far behind Olson in the 100 as he took sixth in 11.09 seconds. Ethan Schroeder then finished seventh in the 400 dash in 51.18.
In addition to the win in the 4x100, Alexandria's 4x200 relay team took ninth (1:32.40), the 4x400 finished third (3:27.78) and the 4x800 was 12th (9:13.90). Derrek Piepho also added a top-10 finish by taking ninth in the long jump with a mark of 21-03.
Full results of the entire Class AAA true team meet can be found here.

Interview with Desmond Reddick Author of Mother of Abominations
Desmond Reddick lives on Vancouver Island where he teaches, writes and podcasts. Bred on a steady stream of comics, horror movies and books, he enjoys writing a gruesome, thrilling tale. When not working, he spends time with his indulgent wife, two vicious children and a dog named Kirby.
Dread Media's website: www.dreadmedia.com
Author website (which isn't up yet, but I'll be doing that this weekend: www.desmondreddick.com
Amazon author page (also has cover images for my other works mentioned) : http://www.amazon.com/Desmond-Reddick/e/B00P1NM9H8/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1
Awesome Mark Maddox cover for MOTHER OF ABOMINATIONS: http://postimg.org/image/fk8uc8al7/
Your book Mother of Abominations just came out, can you tell us a little bit about it?
Well, the book begins on the morning of April 3rd, 1982 when the British Parliament was meeting in a special session to announce their entry into the Falklands War. Our protagonist, Bree Kenny stands watching from a park across the street as she waits for the bomb her and her IRA associates planted to explode. It would be the biggest act of terrorism in history, and it would be an act of revenge. Her twin brother was captured and imprisoned after killing an MP, so Bree was going to up the ante by killing ALL the MPs. The bomb doesn't go off, though and Bree is arrested.
A British Intelligence officer tells her she has two options: she can refuse to work for the British and rot in jail for the rest of her life, the rest of the world never knowing about what she had tried to do, or she can work with the government and on successful completion of the mission, free her brother and disappear somewhere far away from the Commonwealth. The mission? Go to Boleskine House and stop Aleister Crowley from awakening and harnessing the power of the Loch Ness Monster. From there, Bree has to figure out if the enemy of her enemy is her friend, or if an entirely different opportunity will rear its head. It's a mixture of military intrigue, occult ritual and kaiju action in a world where the world superpowers developed giant monsters as weapons instead of nuclear warheads.
Mother is a kaiju and pulp horror blend featuring Alistair Crowley and a bomb threat on parliament. What inspired you to write it?
Well, Mother of Abominations is the first novel in the Monster Earth series from Mechanoid Press. There are two anthologies available, but publisher James Palmer and Monster Earth creator Jim Beard really wanted to branch out and have novels set within their shared universe. They asked me to pitch something and, not to try and employ a cliché, but the story sprung almost fully realized from my brain in one moment. They liked my pitch and asked for a plot breakdown of the whole book. They liked that and asked me to write it.
I love films like The Devil Rides Out and other stories about cults. I also have a fascination with my Irish and Scottish heritage. In the 90s, there was a glut of Irish terrorist movies made in Hollywood, among them Blown Away, In the Name of the Father and The Devil's Own. Most of those movies never really looked at things from the Irish side, and, while I don't support terrorist activities, I thought exploring that would be interesting. You're putting the main character behind the eight ball with a lot of readers from the get-go when she starts the book by trying to murder hundreds of people in cold blood, but I felt like I could tell both sides of that kind of conflict in this book, all buried in the framework of a giant monster story. I like to say this book is The Devil's Own meets The Devil Rides Out in a world with giant monsters.
What are your favorite parts of the book? Favorite character or parts of characters?
One of my favourite parts of the book is a practical look at how a government manages the existence of giant monsters. In this world, by 1982, monsters have been around and used by nation-states for almost fifty years. So, I asked myself, what goes into the raising and housing of such a thing? How does the public react to this kind of thing? What kind of government bureaucracy exists around it? So that's when I came up with the British side of things. Her Majesty's Giant Monster existed already in the story bible of the shared universe, but I created the organization that managed her. I won't go too into it so as not to spoil it, but I tried to put a British spin on it and it ended up being a part of what I really liked about the book.
My other favourite thing about it is the general goings-on at Boleskine House. I researched Crowley and the house a lot, and I knew the basic lay of the land, having been to Loch Ness, so I really got into that. The section at Boleskine House started out as a bit of a stopping point along the way in the plot of the novel, but it organically became its own thing while I was writing it. The dissidents and weirdoes there all birthed their own personalities and roles. In particular, Doucette (who I based off of my best friend) is a favourite character. He's a nasty piece of work and was a hell of a lot of fun to write.
Mother of Abominations isn't your first brush with horror, can you tell us a little about some of your other writing past and future? Favorite topics to write about?
I've had a half dozen short stories published in anthologies over the past few years. Strangely, they are ALL historical horror stories. Three weird westerns and a vikings versus zombies story. I guess I have to say that I liked weird westerns! I do like the iconic imagery present in westerns. It's more all-pervading than other genres. The visual shorthand is so strong that you can get across a lot of meaning in very few words.
The connecting tissue in a lot of these is Lovecraftian fiction. I love the cosmic horror stuff and will definitely be writing more of it. My last short story publication was my first professional one that combined Lovecraft and fairy tales. I wrote a modern day coming of age story for a young First Nations man on the west coast of Vancouver Island who comes across Shub-Niggurath. I'm very proud of it, and it was a feather in my cap to be in the same book as JF Gonzalez and Mary SanGiovanni, both influential writers to me.
My next novel, which I'm only a few thousand words away from finishing, is a superhero noir story. I'm very excited to get the first draft out to my beta readers for feedback. After that, I'll be doing something more traditionally in the horror realm.
While I love horror more than any other genre, I think I come more from the Joe R. Lansdale school of writing. I think it's best to be a genre rather than write within one. It probably means that I'll have a tougher time growing a reader base with such diverse output, but I write what I want to write. I hadn't intended to do a superhero novel, but the idea came to me and I had to jump on it.
Are there any subjects you won't write about? What are your taboos?
I don't think so. I haven't come across it yet. Though, I have no desire to write explicit rape or animal/child abuse which must be something that a lot of people write about seeing as most submission calls I see say not to submit those kinds of stories.
That all said, I'm not entirely against it. If I write something so brutal and explicit, it would have to be for a reason. Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door comes to mind. It's sickening and hard to read, but it is one of the best and most visceral things I've ever read.
When did you bridge the gap between horror fan and writer? Was it a good experience?
I've always written. It sounds stupid, but even as a kid. I have a bound book of my terrible stories my grade two teacher put together for me. Most of them are ripoffs of The Monster Squad, Princess Bride and the G.I. Joe cartoon, but I was writing them.
I would have to say I became more serious about it a decade ago when I started writing my column Reel Dread for www.earth-2.net. I wrote mostly about horror cinema, but regularly writing about it re-energized me into writing when I had only really written essays for university or lyrics for my band for several years before that. I wrote fifty Reel Dreads over the span of three years, and I keep meaning to polish them up and publish them all together as an eBook. So, that was mostly fan writing, which I've continued, as I have contributed to two of the three Monster Serial anthologies (essays on horror cinema).
From then on, I have decided to push forward with a career in writing, working up from short stories to short novels. It's a work-in-progress.
You also run the Dread Media podcast, can you tell us a little about putting that together and what sort of subjects you like to tackle there?
I was already writing the column at Earth-2.net and Mike Sims, the webmaster there, offered to publish a podcast of mine if I wanted to do it. Dread Media was already a short-lived segment on his podcast at the time, so I said yes.
I never wanted there to be a set format, and I wanted to cover the whole genre. So, while I review mostly horror films, I also cover comics, literature, music and more. Sometimes I'll have interviews as well with people involved in the genre.
I'm very proud of the community we've built at Dread Media, and we've been going for 444 weeks straight at this point without missing an episode. I don't plan to stop anytime soon.
Do you enjoy working with other authors and reviewing movies and books through the show?
Absolutely! It started as a very solitary experience, but I've since introduced co-reviews with a revolving cast of cohosts and I have regular segments contributed on an almost weekly basis as well. It's become a bit of a crowd-sourced podcast by this point, and I think that's very cool. I even have a spinoff called Dread Media Presents where longer form segments get their due. Though that's been on the backburner as I've been concentrating on the writing. I have a backlog of stuff to get through when I do get the time.
I've made friends with these cohosts and even some authors I previously admired through the show. It's been a lot of hard work in some aspects, but it's incredibly rewarding. Not monetarily, mind you.
Any especially good experiences through Dread Media? Any dream guests you'd love to have on the show?
Dread Media has offered me the opportunity to talk to authors like the aforementioned Joe R. Lansdale and Jack Ketchum and many more. I like to think that I soak in a little bit of their advice or method in every conversation. Authors are fun to interview because they're often very good at talking about themselves, as the length of this interview may attest. I've been able to talk to bestsellers right on down to the indie guys and every single time, I've been able to pull some really cool information or advice or stories out of them. I've also been extremely lucky to chat with other influential people like the late Oderus Urungus (Dave Brockie) from Gwar who did his interview in character. That blew my mind. Talking to legendary comics artist Gene Colan was a completely transformative experience for me as well. I believe that was his last ever interview. I recently talked to Fabio Frizzi who composed music for some of my all-time favourite films, so that was a complete blast. Speaking to young people who are absolutely killing it in their chosen field like The Soska Twins and music video director Phil Mucci among many others is always energizing and powerful for my creative engine. Musicians, filmmakers, authors, artists. It's great company to keep. If you live in an isolated place like I do, I've found it so completely rewarding to be able to pick these peoples' minds for my own process.
As far as dream guests go, I would love to talk to Clive Barker and Stephen King. Both of them were, and continue to be, hugely influential to me. Elvira would be amazing. She was my first crush. Film composer Angelo Badalamenti, Glenn Danzig, Alice Cooper. They would all be amazing.
Do you have any other projects you'd like to mention?
I'm working on a comic book with an artist friend of mine (a weird western...shocker!), but that's in the very early stages. I'm almost finished with my second novel and I'm not sure if I'll self-publish it or try to find a publisher, so keep on the lookout for that. My friend and I made a horror short film called The Killing House one afternoon a few summers ago, so go and check that out on Vimeo: http://player.vimeo.com/video/103446672. That was fun. I got to star as the killer. I also composed the score and you can buy that here: http://dreadmedia.bandcamp.com/releases.
Basically I'm just getting started with this writing thing, so keep an eye out for me.

An emerging literature argues that we have a great deal to learn by studying exemplars rather than the behavior and attitude of average members of a population. Following in the spirit of William James who asserted that research on religious virtuosos is a fruitful path to understanding the many varieties of religious experience, this planning grant focuses on developing a research strategy, methodology, hypotheses and dissemination plan for studying Spiritual Exemplars--namely, extraordinary individuals whose faith and spiritual practice motivate and sustain them in acts of altruistic service, heroic efforts to explore the wonders of the universe, and other acts of generative social and scientific engagement. Exploratory research and investigation during the planning grant stage will assess the viability of a three-year project that would be global in scope and cross multiple religious traditions, including individuals who are spiritually motivated but may not be associated with organized religion. While the Templeton Foundation has funded research on various virtues (e.g., love, forgiveness, wisdom, gratitude, and purpose), this project will examine the virtues identified by Sir John in a holistic manner, assessing the ways in which these virtues develop during the life course and, as a gestalt, interact to produce exemplary people who make substantial contributions to human progress. Utilizing social media as well as publication in popular and scholarly venues, this project intends to foment a conversation about the "good life" and the role of the spiritual dimension in human existence. The core element of the larger project will be 100 case studies that profile Spiritual Exemplars in a variety of global contexts. Research will be done by journalists as well as social scientists. Each profile will be accompanied by a short video documentary, drawing in part on the methodology of journalists such as Nicholas Kristoff of the New York Times.

LBCC Baseball / Sports
Shifting Focus: After Postponed Series With Clark, Roadrunner Baseball Looks Towards matchup With Lane
by Cam Hanson · April 10, 2019
Coach Petersen has led his team into the number seven spot on the NWAC poll in his first season as head coach.
Deep black clouds and a sudden daylong downpour kept the LBCC Men's Baseball team from competing against Clark in a four game, home and away series this past Friday and Saturday, with two of the games being moved to April 15. The Roadrunners lose the opportunity to face Clark before their important series with the Lane Titans (12-8 overall, 6-0 conference) and will have to carry the momentum built by their series sweep against the Southwestern Oregon Lakers.
Lane has had almost as equally of a successful season under their belt thus far. Their 12-8 record netted them three votes from the March 27 NWAC coaches poll, barely being left out of the top ten. LBCC has stayed in the rankings for a few weeks now, coming in at seventh in last weeks poll. Lane currently sits at first in conference standings in the south, sharing an undefeated conference record with none other than the Roadrunners, who are 14-5 overall and have a 4-0 record in conference. Lane has faced Southwestern Oregon and the Clackamas Cougars in the south division, beating them with great offense with wins such as 12-0 and 11-7. LBCC faced Clackamas earlier in the season, beating them twice in wins 16-1 and 13-3. While Lane holds the edge statistically, LBCC has had games postponed and the opportunity for more than four wins thus far was taken from them.
"After getting our games postponed this past week, our guys are itching to get back to playing. Should be a lot of fun playing a quality team like Lane" said head coach Andy Petersen.
Colton Talton has hit three home runs on the season with an RBI of 20.
Erick Hill notched eight total strikeouts in their 11-0 victory against Southwestern Oregon.
This four game series between the two teams will break the tiebreaker for first and set a division leader, barring a two win series tie. Lane has been on an tear since the start of conference play, winning eight in a row and surging to 12-8 after a 4-8 record. The Titans currently have 90 runs in the year with a .264 batting average complimented by four total home runs. The Roadrunners themselves have been creating fireworks, with a six game win streak under their belt. LBCC currently has 162 runs on the season, which shows how effective Coach Petersens offense has performed in his first season.
Two teams with undefeated conference records and hefty win streaks meet on the diamond this Friday, and the match-up looks to be dazzling. Coach Petersen and his team has had a very successful season thus far, and the first year head coach has remained cool the whole way through.
"There was a lot of anticipation build up leading into the first game of the season, with not really knowing what to expect. One the team and I got that first game out of the way, it was back to playing baseball and having fun", said Petersen.
The first pitch against Lane will be thrown at home at 2:00 PM on Friday, April 12.

Three teens have been arrested in connection with the death of 15-year-old Winter Park High School student Roger Trindade, who was found unconscious in Winter Park's Central Park on Oct. 15 after a mysterious altercation.
Police had been treating the investigation as a "suspicious death" but have officially named the case as a homicide, according to an update released on Wednesday. The Orange County Medical Examiner's Office has concluded that the death was a homicide as a result of blunt force trauma.
Two of the three juvenile suspects, both 15, face charges of manslaughter and battery, while a third, 14, faces a charge of tampering with a witness. The Observer is not naming the suspects because they are minors.
Two of the three suspects were arrested in Orange County. The youngest was arrested in Virginia.
The announcement came suddenly for friends and family of the slain teen, who had been waiting nearly two months for the results of a medical autopsy investigation.
"It brings us a little relief I think, [because] at least we know they are not walking free and living [their] lives while we are stuck and suffering every day," Roger's sister, Laura Thomé Koch said.
Family friend Mariley Nascimento, who had attended vigils for Roger that had become protests over the slow response to arrest suspects, had been on the phone with Roger's mother, Adriana, just moments before the arrest announcement came Wednesday afternoon. She was still waiting, Nascimento said.
Roger's parents were about to book a flight to Winter Park from their home in Brazil, once the announcement came.
"This is not a happy moment," Nascimento said. "But I think this starts the healing."
The circumstances of the altercation leading to the teen's death are still a mystery. Police were told that a fight broke out that night in October after a group of teens allegedly sprayed Trindade with some type of "odorous spray" – not mace or pepper spray, said Winter Park Police Chief Michael Deal. Trindade was reportedly sitting on a park bench with friends and stood up to confront the group.
What happened next is unclear, but there are reports that Trindade was savagely beaten by the group of teens. He was transferred to a local hospital, where he was pronounced brain dead and taken off life support two days later.
In a release, the Winter Park Police said the department and the Joint Homicide Investigation Team are working with the State Attorney's Office and the Medical Examiner's Office on the case.
Winter Park Mayor Steve Leary also released a statement Wednesday night expressing his condolences to the Trindade family.
"Regarding the arrests made today, I would like to thank the Trindade family for their patience," Leary said in his statement. "They have been, and continue to be, in our thoughts and prayers. I also want to thank the community for their patience and support of the Winter Park Police Department, whose thorough investigation led to today's charges. Hopefully the family and community can find solace in knowing that although the process seemed lengthy, it was necessary so as to provide the State Attorney's office with sufficient information to proceed."
Nascimento said she hopes there will not only be healing, but trust restored in local police.
"I think if it goes well, it'd be quite nice for the community being able to trust the police," Nascimento said. "We'll see how it goes."

The S60 has a thermal camera, which isn't available on any other smartphones!
The CAT S60 is among the most rugged and indestructible smartphones ever made. Not only the smartphone is fully waterproof, but also comes with a thermal Sensor. Some of the features of the device are new and unique in every way. However, the S60 also has a steep price tag of around 60,000 INR. At this price, it's surely not for everyone. But does it deserve your attention? We find out in our review.
The CAT S60 has a heavy and solid body which is unbreakable. It's extremely sturdy, which can easily take accidental drops without an issue. But sadly, it's also bulkier and not very comfortable for use in extended periods. It's also quite thick also due to an extra covering for camera and battery. The antenna dent is a bit bigger than the usual smartphones for better connectivity. The edges are of metal while the rear part is covered with rubber body.
The rear panel has dual camera sensors along with the flash. However, don't confuse it for normal devices with a pair of shooters, while the one camera module works as expected, the other one on the CAT S60 is for thermal sensing. There is a port for inserting the SIM card and microSD card. The right edge has the volume buttons while the left one has the power key, assigned button, SOS button and micro USB port. All the ports are protected by a covering, to ensure waterproofing with the IP68 certification.
The front panel has the secondary camera, speaker and sensor on the top. There's a speaker just below the display and three buttons for navigation. Alongside the speaker, the S60 has a 2m/5m option for its protection depending upon the depth of the water that the phone can handle.
Overall, the design might be bulky and quite big to hold, but surely gets marks for offering water and shock protection. It's great for those who want a durable smartphone and it's one of the unique designs I've come across.
The CAT S60 offers a 4.7inch of IPS display with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. It is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The display is good but not so impressive. The current era is of 2K displays, so we can at least expect the phone to offer 1080p display. That said, the colour reproduction is good and the screen is sharp. One can easily use it under direct sunlight and see it from different viewing angles.
The CAT S60 is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 SoC clocked at 1.6GHz paired with 3GB of RAM. There is 32GB of internal storage and it can be expandable up to 128GB via microSD card slot. There is no fingerprint sensor however. It's a dual-SIM smartphone with 4G connectivity.
It runs almost stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. The UI is minimal and user-friendly. It is preloaded with useful apps only like App toolbox and thermal camera. There is a lot of customisation features as per the users need, for battery saving, camera usage, location accuracy and other privacy control features.
The Snapdragon 617 processor delivers an acceptable performance on the CAT S60. The touch response is good and the multitasking is acceptable. There is a bit of lag while opening and closing of the apps, which may be due to the mid-range and old processor.
The gaming performance of the smartphone is just about average. One can enjoy the smaller games, but may find difficulty while playing high-end titles like Asphalt 8 or Modern Combat 5.
The benchmark performance of the smartphone is good but not the best. It scores 44586 in AnTuTu which is acceptable but it's not the best in this class.
As per the S60's promise, it easily passes our durability and water proofing test. I dropped it from more than 1.5 meters and there were no dent or scratches on it. While dropping it in water the smartphone alerts the user to close the speaker panel and the device still runs. On taking out from water, it offers to dry up the smartphone and speaker with the in-built process.
The connectivity and Audio/Video performance is quite good. There was no distortion in it while calling or any type of network issue.
The CAT S60 sports a 13MP primary camera with a secondary FLIR camera for thermal sensing. The thermal camera has a separate app for it. It senses the surroundings and shows the temperature value of different objects on the viewfinder. The value is not very accurate but somehow near to the original one.
The normal camera works fine, but seems less efficient, when compared to the other smartphones with similar cameras. The front camera is of 5MP, which gives acceptable results. Both the camera, i.e. the front and rear shoots images which seem dull as there is a lack of brightness despite the availability of light. The details are also very less.
There is 3800mAh of battery in the CAT S60 which seems quite efficient and gives almost a full day battery backup with moderate usage.One can easily get almost three to four days standby time with it. Sadly, there is no quick or fast charging in it so it takes almost four hours to charge fully.
As mentioned earlier, the CAT S60 isn't a normal smartphone and shouldn't be considered against flagships available in this price range. It's for those who are looking to get a smartphone that has a durable and sturdy waterproof body and has a use for a thermal camera. However, even then, it requires a careful consideration as its processor isn't very fast and the OS is also quite dated.
