Selling your home is more than just plopping a generic sign in your front yard. We live in and drive around the neighborhoods to learn more about them and see what's changing. We visit a ton of homes. We can tell you what hasn't changed: Signage.
Homes are littered with big, small, and strange looking signage. Sometime we have to stop for 5 minutes just to figure out what we're looking at. Other times we have to squint see what's written on the sign. That's not how you get results and it just confuses people. Are they here to read a sign or to buy a home? We think it's to buy a home. Signs that can't be easily read are not making it easy to sell your home either.
It's too often that selling your home is only an advertisement for the brokerage and not for your home. The signs are boring and often so filled with words and pictures they are unintelligble (especially at distance of more than 5 feet). Your house needs to stand out from others in the neighborhood! Our signs not only grab attention, but they are so creative that they are often times shared by passerby's on Facebook and Instagram. Even better, people get the information they need: Contact information. That's marketing your home for sale.
When you are ready to sell your home fast and for the highest price contact us for one one of our top notch agents. If you're running a part time optometry school then use our competitors (what's the biggest row you can read?).
This sign is not only simple and easy to read: It's simple to remember. Also, when selling your home you want to make sure that people can get and save the details they need easily.
So, you've made a very competitive bid on a house. Maybe you even went higher than the seller requesting thinking that the home of your dreams is in the bag. You wrote a brilliant letter explaining why you are the perfect person to buy the home. You've promised closing in 30 days and took the home "as is." Your mortgage loan officer says you are good to go.
Most of the time this is a very compelling offer that would generally be accepted by the seller. This time though, a cash buyer rode in and made an offer less than yours by as much as $10,000. You're a shoe in, right? That's not always the case. Your agent calls you and lets you know that you just lost to a cash buyer. So, what happened?
Cash buyers can close much faster. Heck, if they really wanted to they could nearly close the same day. The owner doesn't have carrying cost at this point like, water bill, tax bill, next payment, interest, etc. There is some decent savings there depending on the price of the house.
Other benefits to the seller are a near guaranteed closing. Many times a closing is based on a 30 day period, but more often than not it never closes on time. This is almost always because of the mortgage process. Banks aren't in a hurry. They will asks for information throughout the process and often you'll find yourself closing weeks later than the initial closing date. 2 Weeks isn't such a big deal in the scheme of things so what else does a cash buyer offer?
When you write a contract not only do you add a closing date, but you also have mortgage contingencies. For example, the contract can be voided if you are unable to get a mortgage. Also, you can even specify an interest rate as a reason for voiding the contract. Maybe throughout the process you found that .5% interest rate increase over what you expected with a pre-approval used you to be unable to afford the home.
The seller has much less risk. If it takes 30 days to find out that you can't sell then they have have to find another buyer. Also, they will have to pay for those carrying costs for another month. Maybe something happened that could lower the value of the home or caused damage (think flooding, hail damage, etc.). This is why they chose the lower cash offer with a quick closing over your higher offer.

The first chart shows the flow of ocean currents throughout the world, while the second chart shows the trade winds. Maury developed a set of of ocean and wind charts based upon old ships' logbooks and supplemented them with new data from captains as they voyaged across the seas. Maury published his first work using this information in 1847 entitled Wind and Current Chart of the North Atlantic, and later issued The Physical Geography of the Sea in 1856. Maury's charts are reported to have reduced the average voyage between east and west coast ports by nearly two months.

really good so far, but needs more platforming...like the first MaL game! least it's better than lolPiT.
5....6? i think. the one on the roof...i miss my ability to use peashooters :/ starting to get hard too...stupid ladders! i hates em >.
Because I was thinking to myself "ya know what? games need to be complicated again". boy was that a mistake... it has 100+ TUTORIALS!
replaying for...reason i can't quite pin down. on the other hand, now i am fully aware [again] of how bad i am at puzzle games! yay?
oh my god this game is impossible...the block button being the left trigger may as well make it not there at all. but im determined!
I searched your name due to the ngg topic and WTF how do you have so many games?!
MS Paint Adventures - Problem Sleuth.
What happened to you? Real life messing up your gaming?
You've probably had Ninja Gaiden II in your NP for 6 months at least.
Haha, thanks! It's definitely been an experience.
And yeah, Yokky's banner is pretty darn cute.
Hahaha you're not the first one to have that reaction, but the magnitude is in a league of its own. Well done.
You're welcome, always ready to give advice on how to be lazy.
Just do what I do: mention DLC only in progress notes or not at all.
Honestly if it's anything less than an expansion pack, I don't think it deserves its own entry. The total number of games would just get even more skewed.
Try naming both the game and the compilation the same thing. I did that with Sonic Adventure DX (which includes 12 GG games). Still displays that I completed SADX.
Usually people mark the original game as a compilation and include the DLC as the games included.
I actually have never played RCT 1 or 2 so I have nothing to compare RCT3 against. Therefore I think it's great All the games I play are on Gametap and they don't have 1 or 2. I do have a collection of old console games in storage but I'm not digging them out to add them to my backlog. I've played them into the ground anyway.
Ah, I see. Interesting. I was surprised that it was that big, never tried to test what the limit was.
Hmm...interesting case you've got in your page note. Worth looking into.
xD Lol I didn't beat them in one day. I just posted up what I beat in the past. xD Took me quite a while to beat DMC, considering I played sparingly.
Si, si nota un pochino, ma si vede che ti manca ancora un sacco di pratica. E, soprattutto, ti mancano vocabolario e i modi di dire. Comunque se vuoi scrivo in italiano qui così impari! E se hai domande, falle, che ti spiego tutto ciò che vuoi sapere!
Where are you in school now, and what courses are so hard that they make you explode? Sure, studing detracts a lot of time from gaming, same thing happens here, but fortunately I'm almost done with my Bachelor, so hopefully I'll be quitting studies soon! At least, temporarlily!
Hey there, how're you doin'?
Haha yeah,a huge part of the appeal these parts have is based on your previous experiences with the MGS saga.Without those,it wouldn't be nearly as interesting.
Sports related, my team lost on Sunday. I don't bet money, I bet things that only have artificial value. I need my money to support my gaming hobby, lol.
since im not nearly creative enough at the moment to think of anything better to say and ive been hoping for the option of a page theme song here for like...forever, i present this list of songs which no one shall ever, ever listen to...but if they do, i like em.
be sure to open them in another tab, since otherwise theyd exit from the page.
in an effort to see how big of a file this can hold, here are some old court transcripts i found. hopefully, it won't break the site. let's cross our fingers, shall we?
that's pretty impressive, i gotta say...wouldnt you agree?

England and India players were involved in a heated confrontation in the Lord's Long Room during the second Test match last week as hostilities between the two teams threatened to boil over.
According to the Daily Telegraph in the UK, the tense scenes in the Lord's pavilion after the third day of play ended were prompted by Jasprit Bumrah's repeated short-pitch bowling and repeated overstepping during a 10-ball over aimed at Jimmy Anderson.
The players were seen arguing on the way off the field and the Telegraph has revealed that it continued off it too, with Indian players, officials and support staff giving their team a rousing reception as they walked into the Long Room.
The Long Room at Lord's is usually packed with MCC members and is the point where teams go their separate ways up different staircases, meaning that confrontations there are unheard of.

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Mob Action
After helping James Earl Ray escape prison in 1967, his brother says they reached out to the St. Louis underworld.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
A version of this story appeared in Illinois Times, April 2, 2008.
The last time John Larry Ray visited New York City was in 1965. He was between jobs, collecting unemployment benefits. While there, he remembers, Malcolm X was murdered. When he visits the Big Apple this week, he will be discussing the assassination of another black leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who died in Memphis, Tenn., on April 4, 1968.
Ray, a 75-year-old resident of Quincy, is giving media interviews in New York to promote the release of his memoir, Truth at Last, co-authored by Lyndon Barsten.
Ray's late brother James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to King's murder in 1969 but quickly recanted his confession. The convicted assassin spent the rest of his life in the Tennessee prison system. He died of kidney failure and complications of liver disease at Nashville Memorial Hospital on April 23, 1998.
John Larry Ray, a convicted bank robber, spent more than a quarter-century behind bars himself. Truth at Last is his intriguing but meandering account, a navigation of the uncharted waters of the two siblings' lives. "It's like the Mississippi River," says John Larry Ray. "You can't stop one place and jump to another place."
In the book, John Larry Ray asserts that his brother revealed to him that he had been ordered to shoot and kill a black soldier in postwar Germany while serving in the Army. The revelation was allegedly made in October 1974, when the two brothers shared a cell at the Shelby County (Tenn.) Jail in advance of an evidentiary hearing to determine whether James Earl Ray should be granted a trial. James Earl Ray also supposedly told his brother that the CIA had tapped him to be an intelligence asset. On the basis of this anecdote, co-author Barsten speculates that James Earl Ray was subjected to the CIA's behavior-modification program known as MK-Ultra.
Much of the author's personal knowledge of his brother's exploits is limited to involvement in James Earl Ray's escape from the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City in April 1967, a year before King's murder. After the breakout, John Larry Ray says, he picked James Earl Ray up and drove him back to St. Louis.
"We stayed all night at the Catman's in South St. Louis, says Ray, referring to Jack "Catman" Gawron, a criminal associate of the Ray brothers. The next day, he says, they met with Joe Burnett, another criminal, at a Manchester Avenue bar: "The reason we went there was to try and put some money into James' pocket." Burnett referred them to safecracker and burglar James "Obie" O'Brien.
"We drove across the river to the Paddock Lounge in [East St. Louis] Illinois and I introduced him to Jimmie O'Brien," Ray says. O'Brien knew the owner of the Paddock — Frank "Buster" Wortman — the East Side mob boss. O'Brien arranged for the Ray brothers to spend the night at a nearby apartment above an illegal gambling den also operated by Wortman. Meanwhile, O'Brien was supposed to check with Wortman about a proposed diamond heist. Before the details of that caper could be hashed out, however, the Ray brothers got jittery and split for Chicago.
But John Larry Ray believes that his brother maintained contact with O'Brien after their hasty departure. Later that year, James Earl Ray returned to the St. Louis area and met with O'Brien again, John Larry Ray says. He claims that his brother was then fronted an estimated $50,000. He suspects that the payoff was passed through Wortman's organization by the Chicago mob in advance of a Canadian jewel robbery in which his brother was slated to take part. John Larry
Ray says his brother gave him approximately half the money and requested that he hold $10,000 of it in case he was arrested and needed to post bond. James Earl Ray subsequently fled north of the border, but there is no indication that he participated in such a caper.
After returning to the United States, he occasionally talked to his brother by phone. "He called me one time, asking about a gun," John Larry Ray says. "I told him, if you're looking for guns, I can get any gun you want from Ft. Campbell, Ky. I had the connection."
The last call he received from his brother before the assassination came on March 29, 1968: "He was concerned about what was going down on some type of job. He wanted to meet me." The two arranged a rendezvous in West Memphis, Ark., on the evening of April 3, 1968, at what Ray calls a "back-alley" bar. He says he drove down from St. Louis in his cream-colored Thunderbird with a machine gun and other weapons in the trunk.
But when his brother arrived, he showed no interest in purchasing guns. Instead, James Earl Ray appeared edgy and expressed apprehension about his future. In his phone call he had asked his brother to pump O'Brien for information. "I tried to contact O'Brien but I couldn't find him," says John Larry Ray. "I heard he was in Florida someplace."
They sipped beer together for a couple of hours, says John Larry Ray. He says he warned his brother about the dangers of dealing with the Mafia: "I told him don't be the one floating in the Mississippi."
During the conversation, John Larry Ray says, King's name came up only in reference to the possibility of traffic congestion resulting from his visit to Memphis the next day. James Earl Ray worried that King's presence in the city might somehow block his getaway plans, his brother says, and he never provided any clues about what else was making him so uneasy.
They both concluded that their fears were unfounded, says John Larry Ray. When they parted, he watched his brother walk down the back alley alone. He didn't see what kind of car his brother was driving, but he got the sense that someone was waiting for him.
There is no doubt now that John Larry Ray helped James Earl Ray escape from the Missouri State Penitentiary, but the devil is in the details. Witnesses who might have confirmed John Larry Ray's expanded version of events are dead. Moreover, Jerry Ray, John Larry Ray's surviving brother, disputed John Larry's account in a telephone interview from his home in McMinnville, Tenn., in October.
"John will tell you he brought him [James Earl Ray] to St. Louis," Jerry Ray says. "He didn't bring him to St. Louis. He brought him to Chicago. You can check, if they still have the records. A day after he escaped, he was in Chicago that night, and I met him and John a day afterward at the Fairview Hotel on Michigan Avenue in Chicago."
Asked why John Larry Ray would incorporate a stopover in St. Louis into his story, his brother replies: "I guess to dramatize the book. I don't know."

Did the CIA's MK-Ultra program influence the behavior of James Earl Ray?
Dr. Donald Ewan Cameron headed the MK-Ultra behavior modification program for the CIA at McGill University's Allan Memorial Institute in Montreal in the 1950s and 1960s. In his 2008 book, John Larry Ray, the brother of the convicted assassin, questioned whether James Earl Ray may have been the subject of a CIA mind control operation while serving in the Army in post-war Germany.
A version of this story first appeared in Illinois Times Nov. 29, 2007. John Larry Ray died in 2013
John Larry Ray has been pitching this story for nearly a decade — but until now [2007] few have been willing to listen.
The brother of the convicted assassin of the Rev. Martin Luther King, says James Earl Ray told him that in 1948, while serving as a military policeman in postwar Germany, he had intentionally shot a black soldier named Washington at the behest of a U.S. Army officer. The subsequent court martial allegedly ruled that Ray had acted appropriately because the soldier had failed to halt when ordered to do so.
The allegation is revealed in John Larry Ray's 2008 book, The Truth at Last, The Truth at Last.
Based on a jailhouse conversation that John Larry Ray says he had with his brother, Lyndon Barsten, the co-author of the book, speculates that while in the Army Ray was inducted into a CIA behavior-modification program known as MK-Ultra. The classified program has gained recent notoriety due to the popularity of Wormwood, a 2017 Netflix documentary series by acclaimed film director Errol Morris. The series examines the agency's culpability in the 1951 death of Army scientist Frank Olson, who was involved in MK-Ultra's secret chemical experiments at Fort Detrick, Md.
Barsten points out that James Earl Ray's personality changed after his military service. The conspiracy researcher also notes that two hypnotists treated James Earl Ray before the assassination, a sign that he was vulnerable to suggestion.
Moreover, Barsten maintains that Ray's two visits to Montreal in 1959 and 1967 show that he may have been part of the CIA-sponsored MK-Ultra sub-project at McGill University's Allan Memorial Institute conducted by Donald Ewan Cameron. Cameron's CIA-sponsored research involved studying the effects of electroshock treatments and drugs, including LSD, on human behavior.
Finally, Barsten discovered that Army records of other men who supposedly served with James Earl Ray's unit don't match up. He asserts that the Army unit was fabricated to hide the CIA's behavior-modification program. Barsten's opinion is based on years of research, including scouring military records housed at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis.
In the book, John Larry Ray claims that he knew of these allegations since 1974, but his attempts to divulge the information failed.
For example, on March 30, 1998, less than a month before his brother died, Ray says he wrote a letter to Janet Reno. The then-U.S. attorney general gave him no consideration.
He also dropped a hint in a story that appeared in the Memphis Commercial Appeal newspaper in August 1998. That claim also fell on deaf ears, mainly because he demanded that the federal government fork over a six-figure payment before he would divulge what he claimed to know.
The overlooked secret that Ray wanted to cash in on was revealed in the fourth paragraph of the Commercial Appeal's story: "… John Ray says James not only was involved in King's assassination but also a second racial murder he would not discuss… ."
Later, Ray says, he spoke quietly with a Justice Department lawyer with no strings attached. His words still went unheeded.
He says he then contacted Coretta Scott King, widow of the slain civil-rights leader. She didn't respond.
"I found nobody wanted to hear it," Ray says.
In January 2001, Ray released his self-described revelation in a video titled The Rub Out of MLK. He sent a dozen copies to news outlets, including the Riverfront Times of St. Louis, CNN, and Court TV. In the video, Ray faces the camera and gives a rambling account of a conversation he allegedly had with the late James Earl Ray in the Shelby County (Tenn.) Jail in 1974. But his telling of the story is difficult to understand because John Larry Ray has a speech impediment.
"Nobody picked up on it," he says.
The subject of the brothers' jailhouse chat is now a primary selling point of his book set for publication by Lyons Press next spring [2008] to capitalize on the 40th anniversary of the assassination. Ironically, now that the 74-year-old Quincy, Ill., resident has finally garnered some media attention, he's not talking, on the advice of his literary agent and publisher.
"I [am] under orders to keep my mouth shut," Ray wrote in an e-mail message. "If I say anything about the contents, it would break the contract." While the gag order is in place, Ray's literary agent is shopping the film rights around Hollywood.
But the gist of Ray's startling claim can be gleaned from his 2001 video recitation and in an interview he granted me later that year.
The story begins in October 1974, when Tennessee prison authorities transferred James Earl Ray to the Shelby County Jail in advance of an evidentiary hearing to determine whether he should be granted a trial after pleading guilty in 1969 to the murder of King. A few days after his plea, James Earl Ray recanted and claimed that his confession had been coerced.
John Larry Ray, who was serving a sentence for bank robbery at the federal penitentiary in Marion, Ill., in 1974, was called to testify on his brother's behalf. He was transferred to the same jail, where the two brothers shared a cell, according to John Larry Ray.
The circumstances made for a less-than-ideal family reunion.
Although the two were fiercely loyal to each another, there had never been any love lost between them. Now they found themselves caged under the most trying of conditions.
"My brother had a track record of selling out his relations," says Ray. John Larry Ray worried that his court appearance would jeopardize his future parole chances. He harbored a nettlesome memory, too. He recalled how James Earl Ray had used his Social Security number to get a job as a dishwasher in Chicago after he had helped him escape from the Missouri State Penitentiary in 1967.
The two brothers argued violently and had to be separated at one point. During less tense moments, however, James Earl Ray supposedly began telling him a cloak-and-dagger tale that strains credulity.
James Earl Ray told his brother that in 1948, while serving as a military policeman in postwar Germany, he was ordered by a superior officer to shoot a black soldier named Washington. A subsequent court martial allegedly ruled that Ray had acted appropriately because the soldier had failed to halt when ordered to do so.
The shooting left Washington paralyzed, and the Army denied him a disability pension, according to John Larry Ray's account of what his brother revealed to him. After James Earl Ray returned from Germany, John Larry Ray noted a personality change in his brother. Without knowing the exact reason for it, he attributed the anti-social behavior to his brother's military service.
During the 2001 interview, John Larry Ray wondered why the FBI failed to find his brother's Army records. He also stated that his brother may have been involved in other shootings while stationed in Germany. If James Earl Ray did kill King, the missing military records of the alleged shooting or shootings could supply a possible motive, his brother says.
The story is impossible to confirm because James Earl Ray's military records have disappeared. The reason for the disappearance could possibly be attributed to a 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center that burned a large portion of the archive.
But there is an added enigma.
While they were stuck in the jail cell together, James Earl Ray allegedly told his brother that the then-nascent CIA had tapped him to be an intelligence asset in the military. Moreover, after he had been discharged from the Army, James Earl Ray said that he continued to work as an intelligence operative in the United States.
"He still thought he was in the CIA in his own mind," John Larry Ray says.
When John Larry Ray asked his brother why he pleaded guilty, his brother allegedly told him that the earlier shooting incident would have been introduced as evidence against him.
For decades John Larry Ray kept his brother's secret, not knowing how much of the spy tale to believe. He didn't tell a soul until around the time of his brother's death. He even doubted James Earl Ray's sanity because his brother had consulted mental health professionals, whom John Larry Ray refers to as "bug doctors."
"That tells you [he's] got a problem," John Larry Ray says. "At least he thinks he's got a problem, or he wouldn't be going there."
John Larry Ray thinks that his brother may have been a CIA patsy, but he's not sure. "I don't know if Washington existed," he says. "I'm assuming he [James Earl Ray] would have no reason to lie to me. I didn't say that it's necessarily true."
Those are John Larry Ray's words from his 2001 interview.
James Lesar, who was one of the lawyers representing James Earl Ray in 1974, doesn't remember the two Ray brothers sharing a cell at the Shelby County Jail. Says Lesar: "Jimmy was placed in a cell with 325-pound Mafioso type."

Case Not Closed
James Earl Ray's attorney points his finger at the FBI
Mark Lane and his client James Earl Ray appearing before the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978. Lane died in 2016.
first published in The Riverfront Times (St. Louis), April 2, 1997
Mark Lane, former attorney for James Earl Ray, has spent much of his career questioning the official version of events concerning the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. He is the author of "Rush to Judgment,"the seminal critique of the Warren Commission., published in 1966. In 1977, he co-wrote, with Dick Gregory ,"Code Name Zorro: The Murder of Martin Luther King Jr." A revised edition of the latter book was reissued in 1993 under the title ,"Murder in Memphis."
As founder of the Citizens Commission on Inquiry in the mid 1970s, Lane lobbied Congress to form the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) . He later, however, became one of the harshest critics of the HSCA' s findings. Now 70 years old, Lane maintains a private law practice in Washington, D.C. He spoke to The Riverfront Times by telephone about the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. from his office in the nation's capital.
RFT: Why do you believe the political establishment is so intent upon covering up the evidence in the Martin Luther King murder case?
Lane: Because I think all the evidence points to the FBI. All the black leaders in America have been saying that from the very beginning. Everybody — Ralph Abernathy, Jesse Jackson, Dick Gregory. …
If that is true, why did the FBI want King assassinated?
People can say that the removal of one person doesn't change history, but the civil rights movement ended with his death. We had riots in cities all around the country, and have never gotten back on track in terms on any serious leadership in that movement. Killing King was very effective in that regard.
We know Hoover hated him. … He hated the idea that King was given the Nobel Prize. Hoover thought he should have gotten one. That was nuts.
We also know Hoover wanted King dead. He sent a tape (recording) to King with the suggestion that he `do the appropriate thing.' Everybody agreed that what Hoover was saying was, `kill yourself.' You don't tell someone to kill himself unless you want him dead. If you have that kind of power, and you want him dead, you might (also) be able to put some wheels in motion.
You represented James Earl before the HSCA in 1978, correct?
I didn't represent him at the time of the non-trial (in 1969). He was (then) represented by (Arthur) Hanes and then Percy Foreman. But after he was convicted and sentenced to 99 years he then asked me to represent him.
The civil rights movement and black activists wanted a trial, too, because they never believed the story that Ray did it. They believed that it was much more involved. So when Ray heard that I was writing about the assassination, and looking into it, he asked me to represent him. …
I myself was part of the civil rights movement. In fact, as a member of the (New York) state legislature, I was arrested as a Freedom Rider in Jackson, Miss in 1961. I'm the only public official, I think, ever arrested as a Freedom Rider.
Of course, we couldn't get a trial, although he was entitled to one by Tennessee law. The law says that if you make an application for a new trial and it's pending and the judge dies or becomes permanently insane, you're entitled to a trial. That's what happened in this case. Judge (Preston W.) Battle died, after he got the application from James Earl Ray asking for a trial.
When was that?
Just a couple of days after the plea (in 1969). James wrote a letter (recanting his admission of guilt) at that time.
James was in that cell in Memphis 24-hours a day with lights on him, the room bugged completely the entire time. He was under surveillance for eight months. Finally, when he entered the plea, they put out the lights. He had one night's sleep, and (then) wrote a letter to Judge Battle saying, `I was coerced into pleading guilty, I'm innocent and I want a trial.'
Battle went away on vacation, came back and dropped dead. That's when the Tennessee annotated code should have came into play. He was entitled to a trial, but the state court said no in this case. It wasn't possible because the law has nothing to do with justice when there are big political considerations. We could never get a trial.
Now Ray has asked me again to get information from the (government) under the Freedom of Information Act. His current lawyer Bill Pepper refused to because the King family doesn't want him to do it.
Why was the HSCA trying to discredit you in 1978?
Because I was representing Ray. It's kind of ironic since I wrote the legislation that set up the House Committee on Assassinations. I moved to Washington to do that. I got more than a hundred members of Congress to sign the petition to form that committee. I worked closely with Andy Young, then the chairman of the black caucus and his successor Yvonne Burke.
But the pressure was on them. I'll tell you an example.
Dick Gregory is very well respected by the black leadership in this country. He called me after the Select Committee had been set up, and asked to meet with (U.S. Rep.) Walter Fauntroy at my house. Fauntroy was the delegate from Washington, D.C., and then the chairman of the subcommittee on the King assassination. He had worked with King.
I called Walter and said, `Greg wants to see you tonight at 8, can you come here?' So they were here in the very same room from which I am in now talking to you. It's my library on the second floor right across the street from the Supreme Court.
Fauntroy is a minister. … They're sitting on the coach next to each other and Gregory says, `Let's pray Walter.' They both got down on their knees. I was sitting behind my desk watching this moment in history.
Gregory says: `This is the most important man in America — not the most important black man. Give him the courage, the ability to find out who killed Dr. King, and tell the truth to the American people.' They both said amen and sat back down on the coach.
Walter, the chairman of the investigating committee, looks at Gregory, and says, `We know who did it.'
Gregory says, `Well, good.'
(Fauntroy says,) `We've discovered that already.'
Gregory replies, `Well, good. … All you have to do is tell everyone.'
Fauntroy says, `But, Dick, the FBI did it. The FBI is bugging my church, they're bugging my home, they're bugging my office. You can't say what's on your mind.'
Gregory says, `What do we love about Martin, Walter? He didn't take private positions and public positions that were different.'
Fauntroy says, `Yeah, and they killed him, and I don't want to be killed. I'm not going to say it.'
Gregory then looked at me like why did we do all this work to get this committee set up. … So that was the end of the investigation, just as soon as it began.
Didn't the HSCA fire or dismiss the original head counsel Richard Sprague?
I got Dick Sprague as counsel. They were offering me the job as counsel to investigate the Kennedy assassination. I said, `I don't think that would be useful because everybody knows my position. … I think you want to start with somebody who is tough and really doesn't have a set position.' I suggested Dick Sprague. I didn't know Sprague, but he had just finished prosecuting Tony Boyle, the head of the United Mine Workers who murdered (dissident union leader) Joseph Yablonski.
So I went down to Philadelphia and spent hours with Sprague, and told him what I thought could be done. … (Then) I went back and I told that to the members of the committee, and they were very excited. … Then I returned to Philadelphia and met with Sprague. We took the train back into Washington, and I introduced him to members of the committee. That day they hired him.
Representatives from the FBI and the CIA (soon) came to see Sprague. They said, `Tell us who you're thinking about having for your staff, we'll do background searches. Furthermore, we'll give you some documents that might help you.'
(Sprague replied:) `You guys are suspects at least in the coverup. You're not clearing anybody for me. I'm going to back up trucks to your buildings and get all the documents that I want. I'm going to subpoena them. So don't tell me you're going to give me some selected documents.'
That started the campaign led by The New York Times and the Washington Post to get rid of Dick Sprague. They finally bounced him out.
The new head counsel Robert Blakey had subpoena power, but never subpoenaed a document. He closed down the investigation.That's when everything went sour.
The committee decided that it was going to clear everybody. But there were enough members on that committee who had to go back to their districts and try to get re-elected. So while Blakey wanted the position to be that Oswald and Ray did it alone, no one would buy that. Instead, they took the position that there was a conspiracy in each case. But they didn't know who did it (only that) Oswald and Ray were involved.
They then cleared the FBI and the CIA in a bizarre conclusion in which they said, We don't know what group did it, but these groups didn't do it. …
All the HSCA did was eliminate the FBI and CIA as suspects.

The Museum Folkwang, founded in Hagen by Karl Ernst Osthaus in 1902, was the first museum of contemporary art in Europe. The most significant works were transferred from Hagen to Essen in 1922, from which point on, aside from a period when the National Socialists temporarily divested the collection, the museum was able to pursue a high level of collecting activity. Today, it is one of the most high profile museums of Classic Modernism in Germany.
The new museum extension by David Chipperfield Architects Berlin complements the original listed building, preserving its integrity while perpetuating the architectural principle with an ensemble of six volumes and four inner courtyards, gardens and covered walkways. The publicly accessible areas connect seamlessly with the existing exhibition areas. A generous open stairway leads from Bismarckstraße into the new foyer, which takes the form of an open interior courtyard with a restaurant and a bookstore, and is protected from the street by a glass façade.
Visitors are welcomed into a succession of differing rooms – exhibition areas with ceiling heights of up to six metres, a library and reading room, a multifunctional room, an events space, storage and restoration workshops. The extension, which is oriented towards Essen's city centre, provides a new urban focus together with the neighbouring Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities. The translucent, alabaster-like façade consists of large rectangular recycled glass slabs. The colour of the façade shifts with the changing natural light and the integrated window openings sit flush with the façade. Polished screed was used for the floors, which is similar in colour and texture to the concrete elements used for the plinth.

Q&A with Kerri Turner
Posted on February 5, 2019 by ausromtoday in 2019 Author Q&A, 2019 Must Read Book News // 0 Comments
In three words, describe to us your novel:
Layered, evocative, bittersweet.
In The Last Days of the Romanov Dancers, we meet Valentina Yershova and Luka Zhirkov, both of whom are dancers in the Romanov Imperial Ballet Company and finding their way not just in the ballet company but also in a Russia impacted by WWI and on the precipice of revolution. What was the inspiration for this story arc?
I grew up wanting and training to be a ballet dancer. Ballet has such a deep-rooted history in Russia, and the era of the Romanov's Imperial Russian Ballet saw the creation of many of the classics which are still performed today. I was fascinated by this company responsible for evolving the art and how, despite its influence continuing to reach down through generations, it met with an abrupt and violent ending.
Your knowledge of ballet and the inner workings of ballet companies is impeccable. What research did you undertake for this aspect of the story?
I studied and trained in dance for fourteen years, and I've taught ballet for over seventeen years, so I like to say my life has been one long research process for this book. I did however add to my own experience by reading autobiographies and memoirs from professional dancers all over the world and speaking to them about their own experiences.
What do you think will most endear the book to your readers?
I think the characters are three-dimensional and flawed in their own unique ways, which makes them more real and relatable for readers. That, and being immersed in the rather romantic world of pre-revolutionary Russia and the ballet.
What makes Australian romance fiction unique?
Australian romance authors aren't afraid to push the boundaries and take a few risks. Their storytelling is bold, brave, and has a focus on strong characters – women in particular.
What led you on the path of storytelling?
My parents fostered a love of reading from a very young age. I enjoyed English as a school subject and received encouragement from many teachers. By my teens was writing my own stories to see if I could make other people feel the way I felt when reading. From that age on I knew I would write a book, it just became a case of when.
Is there an author who you particularly admire and what aspect of their work/life/personality has inspired that admiration?
I admire Ken Follett for his ability to immerse the reader so fully in another time period, weaving facts and history throughout without the story ever coming to a stop. That can be such a balancing act and reading his books is like taking a masterclass in it.
The Last Days of the Romanov Dancers
Kerri Turner
Petrograd, 1914. A country on a knife edge. The story of two people caught in the middle – with everything to lose…
Valentina Yershova's position in the Romanov's Imperial Russian Ballet is the only thing that keeps her from the clutches of poverty. With implacable determination, she has clawed her way through the ranks to soloist, utilising not only her talent, but her alliances with influential rich men that grants them her body, but never her heart. When Luka Zhirkov – the gifted son of a factory worker – joins the company, her passion for ballet and love is rekindled, putting at risk everything that she has built.
For Luka, being accepted into the company fulfils a lifelong dream. But in the eyes of his proletariat father, it makes him a traitor. As war tightens its grip and the country starves, Luka is increasingly burdened with guilt about their lavish lifestyles.
While Luka and Valentina's secret connection grows, the country rockets toward a revolution that will decide the fate of every dancer.
For the Imperial Russian Ballet has become the ultimate symbol of Romanov indulgence, and soon the lovers are forced to choose: their country, their art or each other…

End Point enjoys a strong presence in the aquarium and museum community with our ability to deploy the Liquid Galaxy display platform. Our content team recently embedded 14 graphic overlays in the Aquarium of the Pacific and Monterrey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Liquid Galaxy systems. These layers highlight National Marine Sanctuary PDF maps created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The Office of National Marine Sanctuaries serves as the trustee for a network of 14 protected areas encompassing more than 170,000 square miles from American Samoa to the Florida Keys. As marine sanctuaries, however, these locations are not gong to see as many humans as Yosemite or Yellowstone. Embedding the maps on the Liquid Galaxy allows viewers to dynamically explore the marine sanctuary map and its relationship to the larger landscape in Google Earth, and brings these remote locations to many more interactions with the public.

The GCT's most recent acquisition, a 13-acre parcel of land donated by Bob and Sue Lotz, connects surrounding protected parcels, fitting in perfectly to create a larger, protected land resource for wildlife and other natural habitat.
On Sunday August 9, a dedication ceremony was held attended by GCT trustees, the Lotz family (Bob and Sue Lotz, their daughter Joy Lang Holmes, and their son, Bryson Lang) as well as honorary GCT member and community leader Marion Stoddart.
Approximately 25 residents attended the dedication ceremony after walking approximately one-quarter of a mile down a quiet, pine needle and leaf-covered path from Indian Hill Road toward Half Moon Swamp.
Bob and Sue Lotz, their children Joy and Bryson are joined by trustees Wendy Good, Bob Pine, Ed McNierney, Susan Hughes, David Pitkin, Holly Estes and honorary trustee Marion Stoddard at the land dedication.
Trustee Ed McNierney greeted guests as they arrived for the dedication of the Lotz Land, thanking the Lotz family and noting the remarkable changes that have taken place over the years in this particular area.
Nearby, Lotz mentioned that Blackman Land, Bates Land and the Matisse "Bells in the Woods" are within walking distance.
Stoddart noted that the adjacent Half Moon Swamp was used extensively by early settlers, donated by Steve Lawrence and family. An important water source, Half Moon Swamp has been documented to exist since the 17th century.

Cooper Health System And Trinity Health Hospitals Merger
[Part of Merger Monitor]
UPDATE: Virtua Healthcare entered into an agreement to merge with the two Lourdes Hospitals, but not with St. Francis. Please see Virtua – Trinity Health profile.
MERGER CANCELLED: Cooper backed out of the proposed merger deal with Trinity Health on December 15, 2017, stating the deal did not pass the due diligence test. No specifics were given as to what concerns brought about the cancellation. Trinity is looking for another buyer.
This merger covers the following hospitals: Cooper University Hospital and Lourdes Medical Center Camden, Lourdes Medical Center Burlington, St. Francis Hospital Trenton.
Cooper University Hospital was started in 1887 by prominent Quaker physician Richard M. Cooper and his family. Cooper University Hospital is an academic tertiary-care hospital that is affiliated with Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. It is located in Camden and is the only Level I trauma center in southern New Jersey. Cooper also contains Children's Regional Hospital, which is a Level II Pediatric Trauma Center. Additionally, MD Anderson Cancer Center of Houston, TX has teamed up with Cooper to provide cancer care.
Cooper has more than 6500 employees, with 1,250 nurses and 750 physicians. Cooper has 2 urgent care centers and one surgical center, with more than 100 outpatient offices across South Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Trinity Health is one of the largest Catholic health systems in the country, with 86 hospitals, 109 continuing care facilities, and 2.8 million home health and hospice care visits annually over 21 states. Maxis is a subsidiary that manages hospitals in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including the three planning to merge with Cooper.
St. Francis is an acute care teaching hospital, noted as the first hospital in Trenton beginning in 1874, with 142 beds. Both Lourdes hospitals are also teaching hospitals, affiliated with Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine. The Camden campus has 350 beds and the Burlington campus has 173 beds.
The Cooper Health System (a combination of the acute-care and children's hospitals, Cooper University physicians group [doctors employed by the hospital], and the MD Anderson Cancer Center) had total revenues in 2015 of $1.13 billion. The move by Cooper to take over the three Trinity hospitals will make the new Cooper Health Care system the 4th largest in the state. It is projected that this merger will create a $2 billion healthcare system employing 12,000 workers with 1,382 beds between the four hospitals.
The chairman of the board for Cooper is political powerhouse George Norcross, III, who has helped make Cooper a major player in New Jersey healthcare. Norcross was instrumental in bringing the MD Anderson cancer care affiliation to the hospital.
Once the merger is complete, Cooper will have control of the three Maxis/Trinity hospitals while Trinity will maintain control of the Our Lady of Lourdes Health Foundation and the St. Francis Medical Center Foundation (see organizational charts).
CN EXEMPTION
Since this is a merger between two non-profit hospital entities, the deal is able to avoid the Certificate of Need (CN) process with the NJ DOH. The legal counsel to Cooper and Trinity Health will likely write a letter to the Office of Certificate of Need and Healthcare Facility Licensure, confirming their understanding of the law that the Cooper and the 3 Trinity hospitals merger will not be required to undergo the CN process.
CHAPA PROCESS
Because this is a merger between two not-for-profit entities, the merger is regulated by the CHAPA process, which requires a review by the NJ Attorney General (AG) and the Commissioner of Health. The AG must determine if the deal is "in the public interest," and the Commissioner of Health must determine if the proposed deal "is likely to result in the deterioration of the quality, availability or accessibility of health care services in the affected communities." As a merger between two not-for-profit systems with no purchase or sale of assets, the deal is exempt from the Certificate of Need (CN) process with the NJ Department of Health (DOH). Maxis Health, sole corporate member of both Lourdes hospitals and St. Francis sent the AG's office a letter on September 18, 2017 as a notice of the proposed transaction including the Letter of Intent and the before-and-after organizational chart (posted on this website).
On August 30,2017 Cooper University Health Care sent a Letter of Intent (LOI) to Maxis Health System (Trinity Health is the parent company) outlining the basic structure of the merger agreement with fifteen steps including: Confidentiality agreement; Non-Binding Nature of LOI; Term of agreement; Due Diligence Issues; among others. Both parties will undertake negotiations with the intent to merge based on the parameters included in the letter of intent.
Once the AGs office has been notified, Maxis will be obligated to answer questions to the satisfaction of the AG addressing all aspects of the merger including access to services, improvements to infrastructure, board members, and maintaining all current hospital services. The process for answering the initial questions and further completeness questions before reaching final approval may take a year or longer.

UPDATE 11/9/17 -Police say that body of Ana Carrillo was found in Johnson Park along the Grand River. Carrillo's ex-boyfriend Andrew Hudson has been charged in her murder.
UPDATE: 10/12/17 – Andrew Hudson, 38, is scheduled to be arraigned on the murder charge at 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12, in Wyoming District Court. He's accused of killing 35-year-old Ana Marie Carrillo.
"An extensive investigation into Carrillo's disappearance has resulted in evidence that will show that Hudson is responsible for Carrillo's disappearance and, ultimately, her murder," reads a statement by the Wyoming Department of Public Safety.
Ana Carillo, 35, has been missing from Wyoming, Michigan since Sunday, Sept. 3, 2017. She was to pick up her children on Colby Street, but she never made it. Her car, a 2013 red 4-door Chevrolet Impala was found in the parking lot of St. John Vianney Church on Clyde park Avenue SW.
Captain Koster tells FOX 17 no new evidence was found in what they're now calling a criminal investigation, despite rumors on social media that Ana may have been found.
Carrillo's ex-boyfriend, Andrew Hudson, was arrested last week and charged with perjury and the police are calling him a suspect in her disappearance. Andrew's dad, Lyle was also charged with perjury.
Family and friends have not heard from her since. Ana is described as 35, 5'2″, 140, brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white Aeropostle sweater, gray sweatpants and white shoes. Anyone with information on her or her whereabouts is urged to call Wyoming Police at 530-7300 or Silent Observer at 774-2345.
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Ana Carrillo should call the Wyoming Department of Public Safety at 616-530-7300 or Silent Observer at 616-774-2345.

From the Ariston Cafe in Illinois, to Roy's Cafe in California, travelers along America's Mother Road were treated to some mighty fine cooking along the way.
Route 66 enthusiasts to this day still enjoy some of that same hometown cooking as they revisit this important roadway. We thought it would be good to share just a few of those delectables here in our Route 66 pages.
The Bagdad Cafe is in Newberry Spring, California.

Combine seasoning mix and set aside. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, scallions, garlic, hot sauce, Worcestershire and seasoning mix. Saute 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mixture will begin sticking to bottom of pan, scrape bottom as you stir. Add milk and ketchup. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature (remove bay leaves).
In a bowl, place the ground beef, pork, eggs, cooked vegetable mixture and bread crumbs. Thoroughly mix by hand. Shape into a loaf and place in the middle of a 9- by 13-inch baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then raise heat to 400 degrees and continue cooking until done (about 30 minutes longer).


Food is one of the most important means of preventing disease and can be an important adjunct to medicine, when we are ill. The College of Medicine is holding an informative conference entitled 'Food: The Future Medicine', which will build upon their previous year's conference, 'Food: The Forgotten Medicine'.
The conference will look at hot topics such as whether we should eat no meat, some meat or just different meat. What is the role of intermittent fasting? When should we eat our food raw and is bread healthy or should it be eliminated from our diet altogether?
There will be a demonstration on how to prepare and cook healthy food and a presentation on what we can learn from India and China. The conference will explore how we can detect, treat and prevent poor nutrition in the community and hospital and hear about a Co-Op project in London that is aiming to bring better food to its local population.
Finally, the conference will hear about first thoughts from our College of Medicine "Food Forum" that brings together farmers, food suppliers and retailers and experts to see how we can change things so that better food is available – especially to those who need it most.

Whether you're an American citizen or a foreign national, you'll earn an American high school diploma through Sterling Academy. Many students believe this enhances the quality of their academic resume when it's time to apply to colleges and universities in the US.
Have questions regarding our International program?
American students find themselves living abroad for any number of reasons. Parents may relocate for military, government or corporate postings, or they (or the entire family) may be professional stage performers whose work requires frequent travel for long periods. Parents worry about how their children can maintain educational continuity without back-sliding or redundancy.
Sometimes foreign students wish to study in English to improve their language skills or to earn an American high school diploma.
At Sterling Academy, we welcome students in middle and high school working toward their diploma. Our school is 100% online, so students can learn from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. That ensures consistency and continuity, no matter where you are now or wherever you may be between now and when you graduate.
Each student sets their own schedule and works at their own pace. You can move quickly through material that comes easily to you and devote as much time as you need to fully understanding topics or concepts that are more difficult. And you can conveniently accommodate family activities or travel.
At Sterling Academy, we offer far more courses than you'll find at most traditional schools, including an extensive selection of electives with advanced course and job-readiness options. Instruction is in English. Many classes are also available in some foreign languages, affording a unique opportunity to improve your skill in the language of your new "home" country.
Our certified teachers are both guides and mentors. They use familiar American-style teaching methods, although online courses are delivered in a wide variety of engaging formats – not just reading and writing assignments but interactive video, labs, etc. And even though you may be on another continent, if you have specific questions about the material you're studying or you want to explore something in greater detail, you can schedule a mutually convenient time to talk to your teacher, one-on-one.
As a parent, you can be confident your child is getting a top-quality education, because Sterling Academy is regionally accredited by AdvancED/SACS, a widely recognized and respected accreditation agency. That also means credits earned can be easily transferred to colleges or another high school.


Do you ever wish you could bring a math tutor into your home on whim? Would it make your life easier to have someone else explain math concepts to your child? If your answer to either of these questions is yes, then you might want to check out CTCMath.
CTCMath offers online math instruction with over 1,300 video tutorials for students in Kindergarten through High School. From basic math to difficult subjects like algebra and trigonometry, their program gives kids, and their parents, access to lessons they can follow at their own pace, giving them to opportunity to stay with a concept until they get. In addition, CTC offers diagnostic tests that help pinpoint skills students need to develop and interactive and printable worksheets that allow them to practice the skills they are learning. Since the program is internet-based, users can access CTC anytime, anywhere they have an internet connection.
Students can also print lesson summaries that include formulas and examples to guide them as they complete lessons, then store those summaries for a quick review as they move through concepts. As they finish their lessons, children are able to view and print full solutions for each problem, making it easy for them to find and correct their mistakes.
For parents, CTCMath makes it easy to track their child's progress. All of the worksheets self-grade, and parents receive a weekly report in their email telling them how much time their child spent working on the program, which lessons they did, what their scores were, and what how much overall progress they have made. Parents can also log in to check on their child's work at any time. Parents can choose which grade level to assign to their child. So, children who need to catch up can work at the level they need to until they build up their skills and children who want to go beyond their grade level can move on to more challenging math levels.
CTCMath offers multiple single and family membership plans for parents to choose from. For this review, Crew members were given access to the 12 month family membership plan, which gave them access to the full program at all grade levels for up to ten students for up to one year.
A big thank you to Brandy from Kingdom Academy Homeschool for writing this introductory post.


If somebody is given a trade secret (and it is made clear that it is both valuable and confidential), then they expose the trade secret, they can be sued for damages.
Employers can restrain or sue former employees with regard to trade secrets. [Amber Size & Chemical Co. Ltd. v. Menzel] Although courts will be reluctant to prevent a former employee from earning a living.
Corporations may also be liable for trade secrets if they are entrusted with them, and then disclose them.

Americans differ on how long couples should date before getting engaged
Entertainment & celebrityLifestylePersonal relationshipsRealTime Research
Jamie Ballard
One in five people (20%) say that couples should generally date for 12-18 months before getting engaged
Getting engaged quickly seems to be the newest trend for young celebrity couples. Singer Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson recently announced their engagement after only a few weeks of dating, and singer Justin Bieber and model Hailey Baldwin followed suit soon after.
But it looks like most Americans don't approve: Only 2% of people said that people should date for "less than six months" before getting engaged, according to data from YouGov Omnibus.
One in five people (20%) say that couples should generally date for 12-18 months before getting engaged. Another 15% say they should date for 18-24 months, while another 15% think two to three years of dating is ideal.
Women tended to be more slightly cautious than men. While 20% of men said they thought six to 12 months of dating was long enough, only 16% of women agreed. The most popular response from women was 12-18 months of dating before an engagement, with 21% choosing this answer.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, younger millennials aged 18-24 (Davidson, Bieber and Baldwin all fall into this category, though Grande recently turned 25) were the most likely to think "less than six months" was an acceptable amount of time to date before getting engaged, with 6% choosing this response. However, a much larger percentage of people in this age range (18%) said that couples should date for two to three years before getting engaged.

Can Anderson get to 700 wickets? Why not, asks the pacer
"Why not?" James Anderson said when asked by reporters if 700 test wickets were now in his sights. The 38-year-old still feels like he has a lot to offer to this English side.
England's James Anderson has targeted another Ashes series against Australia and has his eye on 700 test wickets after making history against Pakistan in the drawn third test at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday.
Anderson became the first seam bowler to reach 600 test wickets when he had visiting captain Azhar Ali caught at slip by Joe Root, but any thoughts this might be a good time for the 38-year-old to hang up his boots have been swiftly batted away.
"Why not?" he replied when asked by reporters if 700 test wickets were now in his sights. "I feel like I still have a lot to offer this team and as long as I feel like that I will keep on going.
READ: Anderson has raised the bar, says Australia great McGrath
"I will have to be wise about which games I play and which I dont, but that is something for the selectors, coach, captain and medical team to help me with. We will discuss what is best for the team and best for me, I guess."
England is due to tour Australia next year, though the COVID-19 pandemic means the dates for upcoming series have not yet been set.
Anderson, though, is keen to have another crack at the Ashes.
"I have chatted to (captain Joe) Rooty about it and he said he would like me to be in Australia. I dont see any reason why I cant be.
"I dont think I have won my last test match for England yet. We dont know when the next test will be, but I will keep working in the gym."
Anderson had come in for criticism prior to the third test after a below-par home summer.
While he admits he has struggled at times, he believes his match haul of 7-101 saw him find the rhythm that had been missing at times in recent months.
Anderson stat file - THE HINDU
"I have not enjoyed parts of this summer and I have struggled with not being able to switch off. It did feel a little bit tough at times for me. That made me work harder these last couple of weeks on my technique.
"I have felt in great rhythm this week, as good as I have in a while. I am just happy getting to this milestone and winning both test series this summer."
England beat West Indies 2-1 in the first international test series since the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the sport in March.

1. Share a time when you felt thirsty for the Lord and he gave you refreshment.
2. When have you felt weak, walking apart from God, and what was the result of being in that state?
3. In John 15, Jesus talks about being connected to the vine. Samson stayed connected to the Lord by keeping his vow. How do you stay connected to Christ?
4. How do you relate to Samson?
5. Samson did a lot of things that should have made God angry and separated himself from God. But God loved him through his mistakes. This is called grace. Share with your group how you've experience God's power made perfect in your weaknesses.

«Переживший человечество» (англ. Till A' the Seas) — рассказ Говарда Лавкрафта, написанный в соавторстве с Робертом Хейвордом Барлоу в 1935 году в нехарактерном для писателя жанре постапокалипсиса. Написан в январе 1935 года и опубликован летом 1935 года в журнале «The Californian».

Сюжет
История состоит из двух частей. Первая описывает события в далеком будущем, когда увеличивающееся в размерах Солнце постепенно повысило температуру на Земле. Реки пересохли и все превратилось в пустыню, — это полностью изменило облик мира. Пустынные земли называли Даф (англ. Dath), где остался единственный город Юанарио (англ. Yuanario). Сначала организмы людей постепенно приспосабливались к постоянно высокой температуре, но со временем на экваторе стало так жарко, люди вынуждены были покинуть его, устремившись к полюсам. Были попытки противостоять жаре — строились гигантские купола над городами, защищающие от высокой температуры, но со временем люди осознали, что сопротивляться бессмысленно. Рост популяций стремительно падал, пока не остались последние города: Ньяра (англ. Niyara), Южный Ярат (англ. Southern Yarat), Перат (англ. Perath), Бейлин (англ. Baling), Лотон (англ. Loton) и Борлиго (англ. Borligo). В условиях умирающей планеты последние оставшиеся в живых люди деградировали, становясь все более и более варварскими.

Вторая часть начинается в маленькой деревне в пустыне, где остался остался только один человек: молодой парень Ул — главный герой. В его деревню приходит очень старая женщина Младна. Когда-то в их общине были и другие люди, но мужчины ушли за водой и не вернулись. Младна — единственная компания для мужчины. Вскоре старуха теряет способность разжевывать пищу и умирает. Ул остается один. Один на всей Земле. Ул отправляется в путешествие в поисках других людей, который описаны в старых легендах. Через несколько дней, крайне уставший и жаждущий воды, он находит небольшое поселение. Ул осматривает дома и не находит ничего, кроме высохшего старого скелета. Подавленный, он начинает искать хоть какую-то воду и находит колодец с небольшим количеством воды в нем. Пытаясь добраться до веревки, чтобы вытащить ведро, он нечаянно срывается и падает вниз, а ударившись о камень, умирает в жалкой луже воды. После смерти последнего человека на Земле все человечество полностью исчезло. Фарс под названием «эволюция» стоит перед естественным выводом.

Персонажи

 Ул (англ. Ull) — молодой парень, который путешествует по иссохшей поверхности. Матери своей Ул не помнил, да и вообще, в их крошечном племени было всего три женщины.
 Младна (англ. Mladdna) — женщина была страшна, как смертный грех; кожа ее была морщиниста и суха, словно прошлогодние листья. Ее лицо имело цвет жухлой травы, что шелестела под порывами знойного ветра. И, наконец, она была чудовищно стара.

Вдохновение
Произведение представляет собой мрачный взгляд на упадок человеческой цивилизации и исследует смешанные ощущения отчаяния и неповиновения в умирающем обществе. В этом произведении Лавкрафт описывает города в пост-апокалиптическом будущем Земли, которые более не упоминаются в других местах «Страны Лавкрафта». Рассказ «Переживший человечество» написан в соавторстве с Робертом Хейвордом Барлоу (которому тогда было всего 17 лет), чей литературный стиль заметно отличается при описании увядающей цивилизации. Одним из источников вдохновения является рассказ «Ньярлатхотеп», в котором Лавкрафт описывает разрушение городов Новой Англии.

$8 Brewers Tickets Courtesy of Ryan Braun
Ryan Braun has stepped up to the plate to offer Brewers fans $8 tickets to the interleague series against the Oakland A's next week.
Braun's generosity comes after the Brewers dismal performance during the month of May. The Brewers originally offered to knock $1 off each ticket for every win in May as a part of the Brewers Win, You Win! promotion.
Unfortunately, the Brewers have only won five games in May. To help make up for the disappointing month, Ryan Braun is subsidizing the promotion to let fans purchase either Terrace Box seats (regularly $24) or Loge Bleacher seats (regularly $23) for just $8.
Discounted tickets will be available for the following games:
Monday, June 3 at 7:10 p.m.
Tuesday, June 4 at 7:10 p.m.
Wednesday, June 5 at 1:10 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. on May 31 on the Milwaukee Brewers website. Quantities are limited and there is a limit of 8 tickets per person.
