Mark Waldman joins Influx as Sr. VP of Operations
Pssst.. he's moving to Chennai, India!
Okay, so we had a plan for 2020. And it was in the works, well before people started buying their New Year Eve's party tickets. We were going to announce key, strategic hires at Influx, through the year, for as long as we could. We announced Tina joining us in January and Mahesh's entry as CTO in February. And then a pangolin pissed all over our plans. However, we're not done yet. March and April were blips, but we have regrouped, course-corrected, and are ready for the rest of the year.
I'm delighted to announce and welcome Mark Waldman as our new Senior Vice President of Operations. Originally from New York but now a long-term resident of The Netherlands, Mark will be relocating to India to work out of Influx's Chennai office. Needless to say, until the time is right to fly and move about, he will be working from home in Maastricht.
Mark and I have run into each other at every single cinema trade event globally, the past three years, where he's been present in his capacity as Worldwide Director of Sales and Marketing of Poland-based cinema technology solutions provider, POSitive Cinema. Synonymous with a POSitive-branded, crisp white shirt and dishing out Polish vodka shots on trade show floors, Mark has been in the cinema technology space for over 20 years; a far cry from his days on Wall Street! He has been on both the supplier side as well as the client-side, working as CTO of Russian cinema giant Karo Film and prior to that with Palace Cinemas, Hungary. More recently, Mark and we worked together on a common client in Saudi Arabia - Muvi Cinemas - where both POSitive and Influx were key suppliers.
As Influx continues to grow and grow up, I feel the need to bring in quarterbacks to show us how the game is (best) played. His expertise from managing complex technology operations when at dcinex/CinemaNext in Europe coupled with exposure to all other facets of the technology business for cinemas was instrumental in us forging this partnership, to help improve the way Influx serves its global base of cinema clients.
Mark will work closely with Dodo, our COO, to help improve internal business processes as well as reimagine account management, something I've long believed we could be doing a lot better. He will also influence our development roadmap for cinema products, working closely with Tina.
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting, the Lord of the Drinks.

While I don't want to impute political motives to scientists like Hawks and Cochran, it's clear that the news of introgression will be enthusiastically welcomed by the wider HBD & white nationalist community. In short: "Yay, we're less similar to n*****s than previously claimed!"Why do you feel that racial mixing isn't compatible with a "high trust" society in the long term?Looking at Brazil, it's clear, at the very least, that even extreme inter-racial breeding will not eliminate racial strife.
Wow, my bloggy friends are really bringing it today! Love this story. So sweet. I had a similar experience a few months back with a 9 year old and origami. Go YouTube! Kids are so savvy these days. When I speak to teachers & parents I explain how we're seeing the first generation that doesn't need authority to get answers. This story is a perfect example.
If they get Newt or Fred Thompson, it just shows what a shallow well they have to dip from. If you set aside all of Newt's problems, you have nothing left but a big loud mouth. I don't think America wants that right now.

Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia)
SAUDIA receives its first Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner
Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA), the national flag carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, at a special ceremony at the new Terminal 1 of Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport, on September 30th, welcomed its first 787-10 Dreamliner, which will play a key role in the airline's fleet and network expansion.
"SAUDIA operates a state-of-the-art fleet equipped with the latest technology, and in addition to the airline's existing Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, is now adding the 787-10 variant which will further support future network growth plans," said Director General Saudi Arabian Airlines, His Excellency Eng.

Book Of Boba Fett Director Confirms What We Suspected About Temuera Morrison's On-Set Behavior
David Livingston/Getty
By Tim Lammers/Dec. 16, 2021 3:54 pm EST
One of the most exciting storylines to emerge out of "The Mandalorian" Season 2 was that Boba Fett — the badass bounty hunter from the classic "Star Wars" trilogy — was alive and well, living on Tatooine. Perhaps more exciting, though, was the casting of Temuera Morrison, who assumed the role of the beloved antihero after playing the character's father, Jango Fett, in "Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones."
In the original "Star Wars" trilogy, Boba Fett was never unmasked. While Boba turned up for a brief cameo in the special edition release of "Episode IV – A New Hope" to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film in 1997, he technically made his big-screen debut in "Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back" in 1980 (via Fandom). Tasked with returning Han Solo (Harrison Ford) to Jabba the Hutt over an unpaid debt, Boba had an early and unceremonious exit in 1983's "Episode VI – Return of the Jedi" when he accidentally fell into a Sarlacc pit on Tatooine during a battle with the Rebellion.
Boba's cult following was naturally disappointed by the fate of the character, which explains why "The Mandalorian" creator Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni figured out a way to continue the bounty hunter's story. On top of Morrison helping give Boba his just due in the series, Disney+ surprised fans with an after-credits scene in the "The Mandalorian" Season 2 finale, announcing the bounty hunter was getting his own series in 2021 with "The Book of Boba Fett."
Robert Rodriguez says Temuera Morrison 'really is Boba Fett'
Lucasfilm/Disney+
A major part of Boba Fett's storyline in "The Mandalorian" was his teaming with feared bounty hunter Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), who was left for dead after an encounter with bounty hunter wannabe Toro Calican (Jake Cannavale). A mysterious character found Fennec after she was shot, and as fans came to discover in Season 2, it was Boba Fett. Fennec then pledged her allegiance to Boba, and the two were instrumental in aiding Mando (Pedro Pascal) in his plight to protect Grogu from Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito).
Now that the attention is focused on Boba and Fennec in "The Book of Boba Fett," Morrison and Wen have a lot more responsibilities. Despite the physical demands of the roles, age is not an obstacle for Morrison, 60, or Wen, 58. The series' director Robert Rodriguez told The Hollywood Reporter: "You never feel like they're an older cast; they're so youthful and energized. Tem and I work out together — he really is Boba Fett."
Dave Filoni, who is teaming up Rodriguez and Jon Favreau on "The Book of Boba Fett," told THR that Morrison's experience and physical presence makes Boba that much more appealing. "Tem brings the intensity and sense of weathered experience that a well-traveled bounty hunter needs while maintaining a sense of fun and adventure," Filoni explained. "He had more dialogue than Fett has ever had to deliver, but it's also a very physical role, and Tem was there for it, training and enduring a lot of action."

NEW YEARS TRADITIONS REVISITED
As the year comes to an end and the calendar marks a transition, the various New Year Traditions and Customs followed every year remain as is.
Here's some of the interesting ways to celebrate the New Year across the globe:
England: The English custom for welcoming New Year is full of hospitality and warmth. They believe that the first guest for the year would bring fortune for them. should be a male, He should enter through the front door and bear some traditional gifts like loaf for the kitchen, drink for the head of the family and coal to light the fire, otherwise he is not allowed. They believe that these bring good luck throughout the year.
Denmark: In Denmark, residents keep a pile of dishes, all broken, in front of the door. For this they save old dishes and People usually throw these on the friends' doors during New Year. This symbolizes friendship and brotherhood and they believe the one with maximum dishes outside, has the most friends. Some Danish are found to leap some chairs during midnight.
China: The Chinese have a unique way of celebrating New Year, where every front door of a house is painted in red which symbolizes happiness and good fortune. They hide all the knives for the day so that no one cuts oneself, because that may actually cut the entire family good luck for the coming year. However that doesn't make any difference to the feast they have during time.
Brazil: Brazilians believe that lentils signify wealth and prosperity. So they serve food items made up of the legume like soup or rice on the New Year. On New Year's Eve, the priestesses dress up in blue and white for an auspicious ceremony celebrated for the water goddess. Also a sacrificial boat filled with jewelry, candles and flowers from the beach of Rio de Janeiro is pushed to the ocean that brings health, wealth and happiness for them.
Austria: Austrians find good luck charm in Suckling pigs. They serve it on the dinner table with edible pigs and the peppermint ice creams are served as desserts for fortune.
German: Lead is considered to be auspicious here. They pour molten lead into cold water and the shape that is taken after, predicts the future. Heart shapes symbolize marriage whereas round shapes denote good luck; anchor shapes tell that you need help however a cross signifies someone's sad demise.
Belgium: They call the New Year eve as Saint Sylvester Eve. They believe in throwing family parties, where everyone kisses, exchanges fortune greetings apart from raises toast to welcome the New Year in their own manner.
2022 YOUR FUTURE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
"Your future has nothing to do with your past,"
That's true, but only if you're willing to accept the idea that things can get better.
Ask anyone who dropped 25 pounds and finished their first 10k run. Or the person whose career, company or industry got downsized, who retrained and got a new job, and who is now happier – maybe even making more money than ever before.
The truth is that things can get better, but only if we commit to making changes. Things don't get better by themselves. As the old saying goes, you can only coast downhill.
If unhappiness motivates you to make a change in your life, it's been called "divine dissatisfaction." If you are willing to use that unhappiness as a lever for improvement, amazing things can happen.
Are you willing to work to bring about the change you want to see? If you are, then your future has nothing to do with your past.
I can't because I'm … (fill in the blank: too old, too young, too busy, not smart enough, discriminated against, whatever).
When you say these things, you are acting like a con artist. And you are the primary victim of your con. Mostly out of fear, we construct imaginary limitations around ourselves. We use these self-imposed limits to keep us from getting ahead – like an invisible wall blocking our progress.
This invisible wall keeps us from opening that new business, registering for that class, saying yes to that person who wants to date us, hire us, marry us or whatever.
Look in the mirror and paraphrase President Reagan's famous 1987 speech at the Berlin Wall by telling yourself: "Tear down this wall!"
A CHRISTMAS TRADITION CONTINUES
(or A Visit from St. Nicholas)
by Clement Clarke Moore
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.
gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!"
when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
THE MISTLETOE STORY
Baldur, grandson of the Norse god Thor, woke up one morning certain that each and every plant and animal on earth wanted to kill him. His mother consoled him. His wife consoled him, but all to no avail. As Baldur cowered in his room, half-wild with fear, his mother and wife decided to ask every living thing to leave their poor Baldur in peace. They begged the kindness of the oak tree, the pig, the cow, the crow, the ant and even the worm. Each agreed. Then, as Baldur paused to celebrate his release from torment, he felt a pain in his chest. He had been stabbed and killed by an arrow made from the wood of a mistletoe plant. Mistletoe was the one species on earth his wife and mother had failed to notice.
Baldur died, but a lesson was learned: Never forget about the mistletoe. Mistletoe would come to hang over our doors as a reminder to never forget. We kiss beneath it to remember what Baldur's wife and mother forgot. At least that is one version of the origin of our relationship with mistletoe.
Another story begins with druids who viewed the mistletoe as magical and hung it above their doors for luck. Others say it is hung for fertility; the seeds of mistletoe are sticky like semen. The modern story of mistletoe is one of kisses. As Washington Irving wrote in the 1800s, "young men have the privilege of kissing the girls under [mistletoe], plucking each time a berry from the bush. When the berries are all plucked the privilege ceases."
The tradition of Christmas stockings originated in the generous deeds of a nobleman named Nicholas who was born in 280 A.D. in Asia Minor. Nicholas dedicated his life to following the principles of Jesus Christ, using his wealth to help impoverished and suffering people. He became the Bishop of Myra in his young years, and was immensely popular for his kind, generous heart. Living a lifetime of celibacy, Nicholas never married or had children, but he loved children and thus often regaled those who lived in his hometown. This practice provided him with the epithet "the gift-giver of Myra." Interestingly, his nobility never prevailed his modesty, so he always gave his presents late at night in order to protect his identity. He didn't like the children to know who their patron was, so they were often told to go and sleep or otherwise he wouldn't visit them.
One of the legends regarding Christmas stockings takes us to a small village where the destiny of the once wealthy merchant and his daughters changed overnight when they fell into poverty. The father was worried about the future of his children and afraid that he wouldn't be able to provide dowries for their marriages in the future. At that time, this meant an almost humiliation due to the impossibility of wedlock. While the now-famous St.Nicholas traveled, he passed through the village and heard the sad story about the merchant and his daughter, learning from the locals that he would not accept any gifts of charity.
One night, while he was riding his gorgeous white horse, he stopped at the merchant's home and threw three bags filled with gold coins down the house's chimney. The bags fell down right into the girls' stockings which were hung by the fireplace mantle to dry. The next morning, the daughters and their father discovered the coins and jumped for joy. The young women married happily and prosperously, so, obviously, their story had a happily ever after. The details of their story spread among the villagers, whose children began hanging their stockings by the fireplace, hoping to receive presents from St. Nicholas
THE CHRISTMAS TREE TRADITION
In 16th-century Germany fir trees were decorated, both indoors and out, with apples, roses, gilded candies, and colored paper. In the Middle Ages, a popular religious play depicted the story of Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
A fir tree hung with apples was used to symbolize the Garden of Eden — the Paradise Tree. The play ended with the prophecy of a saviour coming, and so was often performed during the Advent season.
It is held that Protestant reformer Martin Luther first adorned trees with light. While coming home one December evening, the beauty of the stars shining through the branches of a fir inspired him to recreate the effect by placing candles on the branches of a small fir tree inside his home
The Christmas Tree was brought to England by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert from his native Germany. The famous Illustrated News etching in 1848, featuring the Royal Family of Victoria, Albert and their children gathered around a Christmas tree in Windsor Castle, popularized the tree throughout Victorian England. Brought to America by the Pennsylvania Germans, the Christmas tree became by the late 19th century.
THE ORIGINS OF THE CHRISTMAS STOCKING TRADITION
The tradition of Christmas stockings originated in the deeds of a nobleman named Nicholas who was born in 280 A.D. in Asia Minor. Nicholas dedicated his life to following the principles of Jesus Christ, using his wealth to help impoverished and suffering people.

He didn't like the children to know who their patron was, so they were often told to go and sleep or otherwise he wouldn't visit them.
Air Raid On Pearl Harbor
On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor External, Hawaii Territory, killing more than 2,300 Americans. The U.S.S. Arizona was completely destroyed and the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsized. A total of twelve ships sank or were beached in the attack and nine additional vessels were damaged. More than 160 aircraft were destroyed and more than 150 others damaged. A hurried dispatch from the ranking United States naval officer in Pearl Harbor, Admiral Husband Edward Kimmel, Commander in Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, to all major navy commands and fleet units provided the first official word of the attack at the ill-prepared Pearl Harbor base. It said simply: AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT DRILL.
The following day, in an address to a joint session of Congress, President Franklin Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 "a date which will live in infamy." Congress then declared War on Japan, abandoning the nation's isolationism policy and ushering the United States into World War II. Within days, Japan's allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on the United States, and the country began a rapid transition to a wartime economy by building up armaments in support of military campaigns in the Pacific, North Africa, and Europe.

Stall The Wall
Writer: Rob Williams
Artist: Neil Edwards
Colors: Ulises Arreola
Letters: Pat Brosseau
Cover: Andy Kubert and Brad Anderson
On Sale Date: April 11, 2018
Uh oh, the Suicide Squad is gonna…do something. I forget exactly what. Intercept The Wall, I think? I recall Amanda Waller was miffed about it, whatever the plan is. Hopefully my review of Suicide Squad #39 will bring me up to speed, or we're all screwed!
The year was 1988 or 1989, I was fourteen years old. A friend and I headed out on the Long Island Rail Road to a party in Riverhead, which near the most Eastern tip of the island, right between its two forks. Coming from a neighborhood that didn't ask for ID, we brought the beer—three six-packs of Budweiser tallboys, stuffed into a polka-dot backpack that was very much in fashion for the time. I don't remember how many I drank before I was drunk; I imagine it wasn't very many. But drunk I was, along with two or three friends, and we set about making a big enough nuisance of ourselves to get kicked out of the house. There I was, a few hundred miles from my neighborhood in the dead of night, with no idea of how to get back home.
But four teen-aged boys plied with beer and testosterone can do anything, so we made our way to a nearby town called Quogue, where we slept overnight in an abandoned van. The next morning, I made my way Westward on the Long Island Rail Road with a friend from Stony Brook. He'd called a family friend for a ride at least that far, and they'd agreed to do it—only if we participated in an AIDS walk in Patchogue. Without any better options, and fueled off of our youth, we walked in that march and giggled about any girls of the same age strolling about. Eventually, we made it back to his house in Stony Brook, where his grandparents hated me. We showered, ate something, and slept.
I still needed to get back to Queens, two days after having left, and my friend had a girl he liked in a neighborhood not far from me called Great Neck. So we hopped back onto the Long Island Rail Road and made it to Mineola, where my friend got the bright idea to call this girl and see if she was home. She wasn't. We hung around Mineola for a while, thumbing through an issue of Outlaw Biker, then decided to make it to her home anyway. It was empty. My friend broke in to leave this girl a note, and while he was inside, the girl and her father pulled up in the car. So we told another spate of lies, then my parents came to pick me up and take me home, and that ended the weekend.
I tell this story because there is nothing to say about this issue of Suicide Squad. Rick assembles the Squad to tackle The Wall, and they fail, so The Wall is able to get the information he needed: Amanda Waller's personal information. Arriving at a hospital where her daughter has just given birth, he threatens to kill her. That's it. This is about as much of a rip-off as an issue can be. There's one plot beat, for crying out loud. Yet again, we have a completely decompressed story where characters sit around and talk for most of the book to justify its existence. I am sick of it. Write six-issue stories or make shorter arcs. This shit is for the birds.
This books runs in place for an issue, so you can skip it and hop on the next one, unless that remains in a holding pattern. You know what? Just get the trade collection if you're hell-bent to read this stuff, though frankly I wouldn't go out of my way.
Kiki M. Ishola April 12, 2018 at 1:05 PM
Haven't we had enough of Harley and Katana on Suicide Squad? I certainly have reached my limit. What's up with DC pretending that jails are full of white people. I don't want to sound racist but the team needs more black and latino inmates. Last I remember Bronze Tiger, Black Spider, Clock King, El Diablo, Slipknot and Eliza were past members. It's not a bad idea that writers of the comic visit a modern supermax prison and take a peek of what's inside.
Jim Werner April 13, 2018 at 3:46 PM
I need one of the main characters to have their heads blown off to set up any sort of tension in the book. This buzzing them to give them headaches is not working for me! Then, get a new creative team and a new roster and away we go!!! And I would love Black Soider and Bronze Tiger on the team

Basically for the ones who do not want to be dressed like a woman. They do not abide by the usual norms of what a woman should wear. To put it lightly, they prefer black over pink. Most of their clothing are a bit baggy and focuses more on graphic T-Shirts and Shirts from the boy's selection. They do not prefer light colors and frills or laces. It can ask so be described as simple and modern. A boyish look is what they prefer over the classy, elegant looks.
I love Valentino, Tom Ford, Mary Quant, Yohi Yamamato and Donna Karen. I pull from these guys a lot for my cosplay. No, that isn't sacrilege. Cosplay cannot be ignored as far as a money making design market goes. Top designs have trickled into cosplay and cosplay has trickled into top designs. There is just no way around it. Nor should there be. 🙂
Formal education: While not required, many of your competitors will have an associate or bachelor's degree in fashion design or a related field. As a fashion design major, you will take classes in color, textiles, sewing and tailoring, pattern making, fashion history, and computer-aided design (CAD) and learn about different types of clothing such as menswear or footwear.
Calvin Klein studied fashion in New York and apprenticed for a suit manufacturer. In 1968, he opened his own company that was initially recognized for suits and coats, but his sportswear line became popular and top of the line. He received three Coty Awards for womenswear. His business now includes clothing, cosmetics, fragrances and home collections.
Rei Kawakubo went to university and studied art and literature, like a lot of bright girls do. But then she taught herself how to design, set up shop, and soon started to change the fashion world. In 1973, she created her own company, Comme des Garçons Co. Ltd in Tokyo and opened up her first boutique store in Tokyo in 1975. Starting with women's clothes, Kawakubo added a men's line in 1978. Comme des Garçons specializes in anti-fashion, austere, sometimes deconstructed garments.
In 1995, Rodriguez became design director of TSE, where he presented the first ready-to-wear collections for men and women. In 1996, Carolyn Bessette asked Rodriguez to create the gown she wore to marry John F. Kennedy Jr, putting the designer firmly on the fashion radar. Rodriguez was soon appointed design director of Cerruti in Paris. After that a consequence, Loewe appointed Rodriguez as design director of the women's ready to wear collection. Rodriguez held the position until 2001.
If there's one styling trick that was put on the map at the tail end of 2018 and looks set to continue well into this winter, it's the idea of the double jumper, or scrumper, as we called it (because it's essentially about tying another jumper around your neck as a scarf). The concept has extended even further since then, with many designer using super-cosy knits from head to toe. The chicest and easiest way to do it is with the same colour or pattern.
Teddy-bear coats rose to fashion fame last year, reportedly being 1000% more popular than the winter prior. And now the ongoing trend for fur alternatives powers on, generating fluffy things for every part of your look. Chubby coats in neutral colours will undoubtedly be the most wearable part of this all-encompassing trend, but don't be surprised if your fashion friends start wearing shoes with shearling on the outside rather than the lining, or a mad winter hat rendered from shaggy faux fur.
Latest 2019 Fashion Trends for Women. It's another year, a fresh start, and the ideal time to refresh your closet with quality pieces and crisp outlines for 2019. Be strong and go after those snakeskin donkeys or silk aircraft. It's another season, and you're reevaluating yourself and your storage room, recollect? We have picked a portion of the most recent and most wearable design patterns for ladies. Along these lines, let us investigate the Top 10 Fashion Trends in 2019 for Women to adopt.
"The footwear update this season is the square toe; from By Far to Gianvito Rossi's two-tone boot to neutral hues at Neous and Bottega Veneta's mule," says von der Goltz. "Wandler's new footwear line has landed already, with the square toe a key signature detail across all styles." Add that to the fact that everyone's already wearing the trend at Paris Fashion Week and you've got yourself a very big trend in the making.
Sometimes it's the smallest details that can make the biggest impact or offer the most noticeable update to your existing wardrobe. For autumn 2019, it would appear that a choker necklace is one such addition. Whether large or dainty, pretty or punchy, almost no catwalk was complete without these flattering necklaces adoring the models. You could invest in something fancy, but it's easy to tap into the trend at a minimal cost—simply tie a grosgrain ribbon around your neck and go.
A super adorable blast-from-the-past fashion style, the 50s look is all about bright and pastel colors (unless you're doing a more 'pinup' theme, then you'll wear black and red very often!) in adorable fashions, usually featuring an assortment of flowers and polka dots. Women will typically either wear a high ponytail or lovely curls with this fashion, and poodle skirts are an absolute must.

See what Clip 'n' Dales clients say about our work!
I can't say enough good things about Clip "N" Dales, I highly recommend them. I've had my 2 dogs groomed at the Williamsville location. Jen is fantastic, she made me and my dogs feel comfortable. It's very clean and the prices are reasonable. My fur babies came home smelling so pretty and all brushed out.
Very clean facility run by people who obviously love your dog as much as you do. Grooming rates are very reasonable. My girls have also been boarded here a few times when we go on vacation and they excitedly freak out whenever I pull into the lot. They have a blast and I have peace of mind while we are away.
Love this place. My dog always come back beautifully groomed and very happy.
Great place....clean....the people here care about what they do. The groomer (l think her name is Molly) did an excellent job!!
Very friendly service. Very responsive. Compassionate to the dogs. Thoughtful. Jen was wonderful to work with. High confidence trusting my dogs in her care.
Worked with the staff during a fundraiser a few years ago, absolutely love the facility and everyone who works there!
Love Jen, Bentleys favorite place. Best doodle groomers!!!
Wonderful place and great staff!
Great Place so glad I found you!


Over the last week the linkback spammers of the universe have started targeting pages on this blog as well as a few friends blogs. So, here is how to stop comment spam on wordpress blog pages.
Clear the checkbox on the right hand side the says "Allow Comments" for each page on your site.
I suppose this is a bigger issue for people using WordPress "Pages" as their CMS rather than as a traditional blog. As for this blog, it required editing just a few pages to turn comments off. Hassle gone.

Okay, so my only experience with my WO was about 9 years ago. It ran rich, got terrible mpg's and just plain wouldn't run right. I tried but could never get it dialed in. I bought a Solex and with some very minor upgrades, it has served me well and I can easily play with different main jet sizes to get it perfect for my altitude. It gives me consistently 20mpg cruising straight and fairly level on rural roads. It has never let me down at the BHR or FCT.
BUT...I know that the WO's that you guys run run just as well. I don't know about your MPG's but from what I can tell, you are having good performance from your WO's. I'm excited to have a working "big boy carburetor" so that the other kids won't make fun of me!
Which brings me to the point...I have not yet found threads here on setting the WO up for altitude (not saying they don't exist, only that I haven't found them). Back in the day Carter made the high altitude metering rod. I would settle for a fat rod or a smaller jet. Or...should I assume that altitude is simply not an issue??? What say you...is the WO that comes to me from the lowlands going to be trouble free at altitude?
You are correct that Carter DID make a high altitude, one step leaner rod. Did being the operative word here, I have searched in vain for years for that elusive "NOS stash". At this point, the best you can do is to advance the timing a bit and lean the mixture slightly for operations above 6,000ft MSL.
Thanks, Scout. Several years ago "Carlsjeep" was on a mission to make the leaner rods but I think he may have abandoned that plan. Probably not a a big market for them, but would be a hoot to try them out.

Satellite Data Has Revealed Relics of Lost Continents Hiding Under Antarctica
November 8, 2018 by admin 0 Comments
Of all our planet's continents, we know the least about the icy landmass of Antarctica. Now, scientists have used satellite imagery to peer into Earth's tectonics, revealing the hidden structures of Antarctica as part of their work.
Due to its remote location and abundance of ice, charting the geological characteristics of Antarctica is tricky, but the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite can see what other satellites can't – by precisely measuring the pull of Earth's gravity to map out hidden terrain.
GOCE crashed out of orbit after running out of fuel in 2013, but scientists are still poring over the data it collected. The researchers say it offers new insights into how Antarctica was formed, and how plate tectonics can function, as you can see in the video below.
"In East Antarctica we see an exciting mosaic of geological features that reveal fundamental similarities and differences between the crust beneath Antarctica and other continents it was joined to until 160 million years ago," says one of the team, Fausto Ferraccioli from the British Antarctic Survey.
Antarctica was once part of the supercontinent Gondwana, which began to disintegrate some 130 million years ago, although the bond between Antarctica and Australia held together as recently as 55 million years ago.
By combining GOCE readings with seismological data, the researchers were able to create 3D maps of Earth's lithosphere, made up of the crust and the molten mantle beneath. That lithosphere includes mountain ranges, ocean backs, and rocky zones called cratons – the leftovers of ancient continents embedded in continents as we know them today.
"The satellite gravity data can be combined with seismological data to produce more consistent images of the crust and upper mantle in 3D, which is crucial to understand how plate tectonics and deep mantle dynamics interact," says one of the researchers, Jörg Ebbing from Kiel University in Germany.
The GOCE satellite circled our planet for over four years, from March 2009 to November 2013. During that time it got unusually close to Earth – an altitude of just 225 km (140 miles) – to maximise the accuracy of its measurements.
The International Space Station, by comparison, is about two times farther away from Earth's surface.
(Kiel University/BAS)
Among the findings from the new study was the discovery of a thinner crust and lithosphere under West Antarctica compared to East Antarctica (above) – the latter has a mosaic of older cratons interspersed with thinner regions of rock, similar to India and Australia, which it was once joined to.
And the data is useful for more than just tracing the remnants of ancient continents across the past 200 million years: It can be used to help figure out how ice sheets above the underlying terrain might react to warmer temperatures.
With so many variables to consider, predicting how ice melt might progress across Antarctica is a real challenge, so any help scientists can get will be welcome. GOCE is still proving its use long after its mission ended.
"These gravity images are revolutionising our ability to study the least understood continent on Earth, Antarctica," says Ferraccioli.
The research has been published in Scientific Reports.

Sam Hjalmar Rydberg, född 27 oktober 1885 i Nyköping, död 25 mars 1956 i Stockholm, var en svensk militärmusiker  och kompositör.

Biografi
Rydberg blev militärmusiker som 13-åring, då han antogs som trumslagare vid Södermanlands regemente. Han tillhörde Svea ingenjörkårs musikkår i Stockholm 1906–1935, från 1928 som musikdirektör. Hans huvudinstrument var esskornett och violoncell, och han medverkade i flera andra orkestrar i Stockholm på dessa instrument.

Rydberg komponerade dansmusik, filmmusik, romanser, manskvartetter, en konsertuvertyr, m.m. Mest känd är han dock för sina marscher. Han fick sitt genombrott med "Den svenske underofficeren", med vilken han vann en tävling 1916. Ingen annan kompositör har fått så många marscher antagna som förbandsmarscher i den svenska Försvarsmakten. Rydberg har kallats Sveriges marschkung.

Sam Rydberg är begravd på Solna kyrkogård.

Verk

Marscher antagna av svenska militära förband, skolor och staber

Övriga marschkompositioner för blåsmusikkår

Filmmusik

On the other hand, however, the increasing size and scale of the grants given by foundations invites increasing levels of scrutiny, heightening the reputational risks to trusts / foundations and their funders. The most recent Foundation Giving Trends report details how a whopping £2.7 billion is granted each year by the largest 300 foundations registered in the UK.
UK registered foundations have no discrete status under charity law. They are subject to the same regulations as any other charity, most notably to demonstrate that their spending is in line with their charitable objects. Once the cheque has been cashed by the recipient, how soundly can your management team and trustees sleep at night knowing that these funds are being spent by your partners in a way that meets your objectives? This question is especially problematic when funding overseas programmes with their additional geographic and cultural complexities.
Beyond the mitigation of reputational risk and legal necessity, there is also a moral argument for ensuring partners are using funds economically, efficiently and effectively. Failure to provide sufficient support and guidance to recipients can foster wasteful attitudes and poor practice which may create difficulties for them further down the line.
Within any assurance framework lies an opportunity to help develop the financial management and reporting capacities of your partners. This is especially important with recipients inexperienced in the management and reporting of donor funds. Grant audits (and auditors!) are often criticised by grantees for focussing on what the entity has done wrong (being the policeman) rather than working with the recipient to understand and address underlying capacity constraints (being the coach). Coaching requires its own set of skills: encouraging the recipient where they have performed well (and noting these areas in your report) as well as taking the time to discuss and agree upon your findings. Most importantly, you should ensure that your recipients understand the underlying issue at fault and why it is important (indeed, is it important or does it reflect a condition which could be removed without any adverse impact on the project?). Asking them to suggest remedial action in the first instance will give them ownership over the steps to be taken. Often issues derive from a lack of understanding or confidence, and a participatory approach will likely be most effective in these instances, rather than further undermining the partner by focusing on 'what they have done wrong'.
Embedding financial management improvements within your programme will ensure that you can leave your partner in a stronger, more sustainable position.
Require your partners to report back to you on areas where they feel you can improve. Include a section in your narrative reports for the partner to identify areas for improvement or where they feel the guidance issued to them has been unclear. Such an approach can allow issues to be identified and remedied before they become major problems. Moreover, if your recipients receive funds from multiple donors then it also provides an excellent opportunity to learn about possible improvements to your systems and procedures.
For any assurance framework to be proportionate you first need an understanding of your organisation's particular risk appetite and the risk profile of your programmes/partners. Too often, however, programme officers shy away from having an honest conversation about programme risks. They may feel that doing so might jeopardise awarding funds to a particular recipient or paint 'their project' in a negative light. The reality is, however, that no programme is risk free. If we follow the logic that private foundations are more empowered to spend their funds on the kind of higher risk programmes that publicly funded donors might baulk at, then a mature and realistic approach to risk assessment and mitigation is essential. Applying a risk-based approach will ensure that finite resources are targeted at those entities which are likely to require the most help while not unnecessarily burdening lower risk programmes.
A particular challenge for any donor (especially those funding international programmes) is knowing whether your applicants are who they say they are and have the necessary capacity to deliver your programmes. The Charity Commission has produced some recent guidance on this topic and this is a useful starting point. For smaller programmes it may not be reasonable or a good use of your charity's funds to undertake a full visit to assess the applicant's systems. However, having access to local experts who can verify the authenticity of the documents presented for your inspection (and translate them where necessary) as well as provide local insight into the organisation can prove highly cost-effective.
It is important that the guidance you issue to your partners is clearly written. Rather than bulking out the award letter with a ream of financial conditions, it may be better to include any necessary financial guidance in a separate guide which is written in plain language (and ideally translated into their native tongue). You can then refer to this guide in your award letter. Keeping the financial guidance separate is one way of increasing the chance it will be read! Providing video tutorials and 'how to' guides on particularly difficult areas is another way of reducing the risk of errors and misunderstandings.

A's could stay 'rooted in Oakland' as supervisors approve ballpark funds
by Olivia Wynkoop, Bay City News Foundation October 28, 2021 October 28, 2021
Cargo cranes are silhouetted in the twilight at Charles P. Howard Terminal in Oakland in a 2012 file image. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors, in a non-binding vote, has agreed to provide funding towards a waterfront baseball stadium at the terminal that could keep the A's playing in Oakland.

After hours of talk, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to provide funds for a new Oakland A's ballpark.
Though the vote is non-binding, the development will move towards creating a stadium that can seat 35,000 people, along with 1.8 million square feet of commercial space and a concert venue at the Charles P. Howard Terminal in the Port of Oakland.
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf considers the vote to be a "historic action that creates a clear path to keep the A's rooted in Oakland", she wrote in a statement. Oakland plans to fund part of this project, which was originally supposed to be 100 percent privately funded.
"We look forward to continue working with the A's, and to issuing a final Environmental Impact Report by the end of this year as well as negotiating a binding Development Agreement. We will return to City Council for a final vote as swiftly and prudently as possible," Shaaf stated.
"The Board should not commit millions of public tax dollars toward a private project that will displace West Oakland residents, put thousands of working-class union port jobs at risk, and jeopardize the county's long-term financial stability."
East Oakland Stadium Alliance statement
The vote isn't met with total enthusiasm, however. President Keith Carson, among other supervisors, worried about the outcome of a massive financial investment like this, along with some of Oakland's economic consultants making assumptions on legislation that has yet to pass.
The East Oakland Stadium Alliance says they are disappointed in the supervisors for giving in to pressure from Oakland and the A's team, though grateful that the policymakers acknowledged concerns of affordable housing and other resources that the county needs.
"The Board should not commit millions of public tax dollars toward a private project that will displace West Oakland residents, put thousands of working-class union port jobs at risk, and jeopardize the county's long-term financial stability," the organization said in a statement. "We are confident that upon having additional time to do a thorough analysis the Board will come to understand the overwhelming negative implications of this proposal and decline to move forward."

For all those people who have "1 note bass" cabinets out there-here is a solution.
The Type 1 cable from AudioQuest certainly doesn't look like a typical speaker cable. In fact, at first glance, it looks more like an HDMI cable than speaker wire. But, this design makes it a better cable in actuality. Here's how: in a typical cable, multiple strands are coiled together to carry the signal. This causes interaction electrically and mechanically, causing irritation and one-note bass boom. In the Type 1 cables, solid conductors eliminate the harshness and confusion of strand interaction. Reason 2: typical speaker cables use "oxygen-free"copper, which is oxygen-reduced, but not selected for low distortion. Audioquest Type 1 uses long-grain copper, which has fewer impurities, fewer grain junctions, and lower distortion. Finally, in a standard cable, high-inductance geometry smears sound, reducing information transmitted, while in Type 1 cables, low-inductance geometry preserves time information to preserve dynamics and clarity. And as an added bonus, Spread Spectrum Technology uses multiple conductor sizes to greatly reduce the awareness of individual conductor character flaws. This all combines to form one great-sounding speaker cable.
Wow, now I'm really kicking myself for selling off all those Cerwin-Vega B36s I used to run in my rig. All I needed was new speaker cable.
How much was that going to cost?
"Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the single greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat harsh, dirty and confused sound." maybe if I use this on my alarm clock the mornings will be more clear.
"It never ceases to amaze me how many sound guys think the measure of their work is solely defined by whether or not their subs are capable of sonically vaporizing squirrels from 20 meters."
Well, I guess I can't have it both ways - so let the charlatans sell the snake oil. Maybe the folks that buy the stuff deserve it.
Maybe the folks that buy the stuff deserve it.
"A Fool and his money are soon parted" comes to mind.
It is worth noting that "caveat emptor" (buyer beware) is written in a dead language, so it not exactly a recent concept.
Life is an IQ test, but many people keep getting the same test questions wrong over and over. Just like I ponder, who in world buys that crap they push with spam... somebody must be.
It seems new years brings out a new flurry of snake oil merchants, but one that has been around for a while that still makes me say "wha?" is the power bracelets.
The government can't protect us from our own stupidity (and theirs), but it can try to cut back on outrageous lies when obvious. That is simple fraud, selling a benefit that isn't delivered. An informed consumer would be the far better solution, and I am continually amazed when I hear that some merchant sold millions of plastic bracelets with nothing more than a good story. The TV ad copy was well crafted by a lawyer, but still disingenuous. While perhaps not literally a lie, the impression promoted is dishonest. I though most would have figured this out by the time they reached adulthood, when that GI Joe action figure, didn't really climb the hill by himself like he did on TV.
Not only are the people ignorant, but many don't want to be informed. If you spend some time around audiophools they will reject most constructive advice. I fear it is the human condition, that some people are destined to be the perpetual patsy, while most of us learn from our earlier foolishness and pursue new mistakes in our quest for knowledge.
PS: Wait for it... Isn't it about time for them to trot out those magical gas mileage extenders again, "just add water". Must be a new crop of fools to pluck.
Life is an IQ test, but many people keep getting the same test questions wrong over and over.
Another good one for a sig line.
I don't care for the idea of the FTC policing advertising claims in such a manner as you describe - I think it removes too much responsibility from the consumer. Consumer complains --> FTC comes up with new regulations --> scammers change their tactics to comply with new regulations --> consumer gets screwed ---> consumer complains ---> etc.
We laugh at such obvious attempts to manipulate the consumer, but we are a nation of (often oblivious) consumers. IMO, the big 3 car companies, the computer industry in general, and many other "legitimate" sectors have grown substantially with such marketing. It makes sense that when your product is for all practical purposes exactly like your competitors, that you would add some shine with such tactics as the audiophools fall for. Also, most of the stuff the audiophools buy into is way out of my price range anyway, so they must be doing something right in the first place to be able to afford it.
I am astonished by the "Self Shielding Counter-Spiral Hyperlitz"
Audiophilia is a matter of faith, kind of like a Religion!!!!!!
So we shouldn't be talking about it here.
I saw one in the Best Buy checkout line a few weeks ago. You plug it into your cigarette lighter and it has three LEDs to let you know how much fuel you're saving. Should have taken a photo.
Any audiophile using AudioQuest Type 1 cables would also receive an additional 2.03233 times more sonic nirvana by installing the Wattgate 381 Audio Grade Duplex Socket, at only $147.72 ea.
To borrow an Elemental Voice description... this cable/power socket combo will provide a sonic improvement that you can only imagine!
Be careful, though! After installing the Wattgate 381s, all that newly pure, pristine current exploded the home theater of one B. Prescott in CT.


The child support system can seem intimidating and difficult to understand, both from the perspective of the parent who is owed child support and the parent who owes child support. Whichever side you fall on, you have likely wondered how the process is handled. Where do these numbers come from? (You can learn about that here.) What happens if the person who owes child support doesn't pay what they're supposed to? Tennessee law lays out a variety of measures that can be used against someone that hasn't been paying their child support.
The first and most visible outcome of failure to pay child support is a civil contempt of court charge. When this happens, the court places the person who owes child support in jail and doesn't let them out until they pay the balance they owe. Independent of civil contempt, that person can also be jailed for up to six months for their failure to pay child support. This does happen sometimes – however, judges are hesitant to throw people in jail for failure to pay child support, due to some controversy regarding courts running "debtor's prisons".
Other ways of ensuring that child support obligations are paid have emerged in place of imprisonment. A court can force an obligor's employer to garnish their wages; "garnishment" means the court orders an employer to withhold part of a paycheck from the obligor so that money can go directly to the court. This takes control of the payment out of the hands of the obligor and puts it in the court's hands instead.
Another way that this is done is through an assignment; if an obligor has a past-due amount on their child support, the court can withhold wages for the payment of that amount as well. Up to half of the obligor's income can be withheld in this manner, plus additional money to be used to pay medical bills. Even if a parent isn't working and is receiving unemployment benefits, those benefits can be withheld by the court to pay the child support obligation as well.
The court can also force payment in other, less direct ways. This includes seizing or otherwise encumbering personal property. One way this is done is through liens, whereby the state takes a possessory interest in the property the lien is placed on until the child support obligation is paid. If a lien remains on the property, it would interfere with someone's ability to sell their house, for example. The state can also seize bank accounts through levies to pay these obligations, or pursue an independent legal claim for state benefits that the obligor has received since the entry of the child support order. If the obligor receives a federal income tax refund, Tennessee can seize that, too.
The state may enforce child support by otherwise making the life of the obligor generally more difficult until they pay. This includes revocation and denial of licenses – note that this isn't just driver's licenses, but hunting, fishing, contracting, business, or other types of licenses. Additionally, the state can report obligors to credit bureaus and deny any passport applications. If an obligor forces the person owed child support to take them to court to collect it, that person can petition to have the obligor pay the other parent's attorney's fees. Finally, and perhaps most seriously, failure to pay child support can be considered grounds to terminate parental rights.
The consequences for not paying child support can be drastic. Whether you owe child support and have fallen behind, or you're owed child support and haven't been paid, you deserve someone to advise you on how best to proceed. The attorneys at Held Law Firm are seasoned veterans of the child support system and want to help you make the right decisions.

El Paso Shooter Patrick Crusius: Worse Than MK-ULTRA
August 5, 2019 / Gunner Q
With a link to the PDF of his thankfully brief manifesto. I first thought that two shootings back-to-back shortly after the Gilroy shooting was some Deep State MK-ULTRA Clinton/FBI conspiracy but the truth was even more disturbing: his stepfather was a hallucinogen-addicted occultist who marketed the voices in his head.
Right off the bat, cutting eyelids and triangular jaw/chin with feeble facial hair. Left side is more guarded, always a bad combo with any mental issues. Middle third is dominant so status/ambition oriented. Low, level eyebrows for rational thought. Small mouth, not much of a talker. The cupid's bow of his full-lipped mouth, combined with carefully curly hair, make me suspect he's got passion underneath the car hood, however. Hair is orderly which confirms rational, orderly thoughts.
He's disciplined at what he does yet doesn't care for other people beyond their value to his feelings. Physically weak and is concerned about it but doesn't care enough to hit the gym. Possible drug use/psychopathy/broken home. I would expect he enjoys either manual arts or low-level tech work, but neither with enthusiasm.
htt ps://heavy.com/news/2019/08/patrick-crusius/
Patrick Crusius was identified as the suspect in the El Paso, Texas, Walmart shooting that left 22 dead on August 3. Crusius, 21, is in jail facing capital murder charges. Officials said during a press conference there were 20 people dead and 26 injured.
Crusius was "very much a loner," Leigh Ann Locascio, his former neighbor, told the Los Angeles Times.
There's two ways I reach "loner" in face-reading. One is indicators of an active mind/self-absorption, and the other is indicators of emotional walling off. The former is not threatening; their brain is simply so active that they get preoccupied with it. Which is why so many computer experts have social skills that wouldn't impress a robot.
Eyebrows that are not only thick but have a lot of trailing hairs on either end are the best sign of an active mind (which is not always high-IQ; think RPMs compared to actual horsepower in a car). If someone has a thin line of hairs connecting both eyebrows, making a unibrow, their mind is so active that insomnia is predicted.
Here, Crusius has a small mouth & ears so he isn't verbal. But there's only the eyebrows to indicate intelligence while low-testosterone, those eyelids and left-side-guarded are good indicators for emotional issues.
The shopping area, near Cielo Vista Mall, is close to the United States border with Mexico. It is a popular location to shop for people on both sides of the border. License plates from both the United States and Mexico appear in the parking lots, NBC reported.
A Wal-Mart holding a back-to-school sale. Although I strongly oppose immigration, this isn't the kind of situation that made our border into an existential crisis. Mexicans want a day trip to buy from our stores, why not?
Why don't these knuckleheads ever shoot up a welfare office or Section 8 housing? Where the parasites hang out, y'know? Maybe a white-hating local official? But no, they always target little kids and working-class people.
El Paso Police Chief Gregory K. Allen said during an evening press conference, "he surrendered to approaching officers."
Consistent with his idol, Brenton Tarrant. Patrick even wrote a manifesto, mainly, I think, to emulate Tarrant.
https://gunnerqcom.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/patrick-crusius-manifesto.pdf
In general, I support the Christchurch shooter and his manifesto. This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. They are the instigators, not me. I am simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion.
Boldface is classic psychopath refusal to take responsibility for his actions.
Any other ethnic group and he might have had a point but dude, they were here first. It's our land now, of course, but Latinos and specifically Mexicans are the ethnic groups most easily assimilated into USA. Part of why I stay in California is that coexisting with Mexicans is easier than nearly all of the alternatives.
My motives for this attack are not at all personal.
In short, America is rotting from the inside out, and peaceful means to stop this seem to be nearly impossible. The inconvenient truth is that our leaders, both Democrat AND Republican, have been failing us for decades. They are either complacent or involved in one of the biggest betrayals of the American public in our history.
The takeover of the United States government by unchecked corporations. I could write a ten page essay on all the damage these corporations have caused, but here is what is important.
What's important is "when I had the chance to kill the people responsible, I decided to kill little kids at a back-to-school sale instead."
Even if other non-immigrant targets would have a greater impact, I can't bring myself to kill my fellow Americans. Even the Americans that seem hell-bent on destroying our country. Even if they are shameless race mixers, massive polluters, haters of our collective values, etc. One day they will see error of their ways. Either when American patriots fail to reform our country and it collapses or when we save it. But they will see the error of their ways. I promise y'all that.
You intentionally spared those most responsible while butchering children who never had a choice and the Mexicans lawfully and peacefully visiting? Even Hell is too good for you but Hell is what you'll get.
Fuck his manifesto. *toss* So, how did he end up like this? We know because Daddy already wrote the book! Well done, Daily Mail.
EXCLUSIVE: El Paso Walmart mass shooter Patrick Crusius' father admits to nearly 40 years of drug addiction which tore apart his family and claims he has spoken directly to Jesus
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7319821/El-Paso-Walmart-shooter-Patrick-Crusius-father-penned-book-life-drug-addiction.html
By Ryan West and Josh Boswell, 4 August 2019
The father of the 21-year-old man arrested for the El Paso shooting massacre was a drug addict for almost 40 years and is now an energy healer who claims to have had visions of Jesus Christ and his dead grandmother, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Patrick Crusius allegedly killed at least 20 people and injured 26 on a gun rampage which began in a Walmart parking lot in El Paso, Texas on Saturday morning before he was arrested by police.
His father, Bryan Crusius, 63, revealed in a 2014 memoir details of the broken home his son grew up in, confessing to decades of drug and alcohol abuse that led to the breakup of both his first marriage and his 18-year relationship with the alleged shooter's mother.
A child from a broken family. I would've won that bet had anybody been dumb enough to take it. Although technically, his parents never divorced while he personally was alive.
The book offers some insight into the mass shooter's upbringing – but not what turned him into an apparently white supremacist-inspired multiple murderer who was cold-blooded enough to make sure he was taken alive.
Au contraire! A shank-ho Momma shacking up with a divorced man hearing the voices of that's-not-Jesus in his brain while sharing peyote with his Commie-public-school-educated son explains everything.
Cause above, effect below.
*GQ looks at previous post of Patrick* Huh, I hadn't noticed the lopsidedness of the ears. I've never seen that before. Using the tools I have, he's conformist in general society but screwball in his personal life. His lips changed significantly, too. A possible link to spiritual corruption?
His father's book at least suggest that lengthy and rambling postings are in the family.
Dayumn, the kid might actually have a legit insanity plea if this was Daddy's "how to raise kids" manual.
Crusius Sr, who now works as a licensed therapist and 'energy and sound medicine practitioner' in Allen, Texas, claims in the rambling memoir to have had a conversation with Jesus in a vision and had a spiritual encounter with his dead grandmother, Mabel.
The book, entitled Life Enthusiasm: A Path to Purpose Beyond Recovery, reveals how Crusius Sr struggled with mental health problems that impacted his four children – the son from his first marriage, Austin, who he left in California with his ex-wife Kathleen, and his three children from his second marriage to Lori – Patrick; his twin sister Emily; and their older brother Blake.
A teaser on the back of the $12.95 book's cover says that before writing his memoir he had 'descended into a profound and unsustainable apathy in which life no longer seemed purposeful or worthwhile' after 'thirty years of dependence on mind-altering chemicals'.
The therapist, who says he has now kicked drugs and drink, through 'a unique synthesis of traditional talk therapy with multiple energy modalities' which he says 'infuses spiritual principles, sound healing, guided meditation, life force energy, and other eclectic methods with traditional talk therapy.'

" Crusius Sr [..] had a conversation with Jesus in a vision and had a spiritual encounter with his dead grandmother, Mabel. "
I wonder the significance of the crazy convo with one's grand-mother. I'm certain there must be some sort of mother issue of some kind.

At least he got it honest (re: crazy).
That's a more disturbing question than you might realize. Bryan Crusius was a therapist at Timberlawn Mental Health System in Dallas which was closed in Feb. 2018 for "safety violations", meaning multiple credible reports of raped patients. He's apparently still in practice, FWIW.
There's an actual MK-ULTRA conspiracy theory I found, which is made plausible by Bryan's self-admitted three decades of hallucinogen abuse. However, my standard is to not trust any conspiracy theory I can't prove for myself. That leaves more than enough material to fuel a blog.

Invoking Biblical standards, a self-described crazy who raised a mass-murderer son does not have an orderly enough home to hold a position of trust/leadership. He should not be trusted around the mentally ill.

Medford Home generators are one of the most useful machines ever invented. Because of the rapidly evolving technology, people have grown accustomed to making work easier through the use of electricity. In one way or another, electricity is present in almost everything people do – from charging cellular phones to surfing the Internet to watching television to washing and ironing clothes to cooking meals to curing diseases. Electricity has been an important part of everyone's life and even a quick power loss could be a huge disaster. Thanks to generators, people will no longer have to think about power outages.
A generator is a machine that converts mechanical into electrical energy by rotating an armature through a magnetic field. The device uses an engine, a motor, turbine or other source of mechanical energy to turn the armature. A voltage is induced in the moving conductors through electromagnetic induction. To generate voltage, relative motion must exist between the conductors and the magnetic field. Today, generators produce most electricity used not only by industry but also in homes.
Medford Home generators are either portable or stationary. A portable generator is handy and mobile. It is taken from its storage, filled with fuel, started manually and connected to the loads. It is commonly used to run small power tools. A stationary generator, used primarily as power backup, is already connected to the wiring as well as to the fuel source. It, thus, starts immediately or automatically, in which case, there is an auto transfer switch which is installed indoors and which senses power outage and starts the device, such as when the power is restored, the automatic stationary generator turns itself off. For some, the typical transfer time is between ten and thirty seconds which provides convenience. Another advantage of automatic stationary generators over portable ones is that they offer higher power levels. On the downside, they are more costly and they require high installation costs. While some households really need permanent generators due to a high need for emergency power, others can go with portable ones which offer about the same function. Plus, they are relatively less expensive.
Over the years, electricity has been of hundreds of thousands of important uses. People need electricity to charge cellular phones to make calls and send messages. People need electricity to prepare meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. People need electricity to wash and iron clothes and to light and ventilate homes. Evidently, Medford home generators are important for an uninterrupted supply of electricity to be able to do things such as house chores as well as office work. They provide every help people need to whatever adversity life brings.
