Ron Leach gives a ride in his Ford F-250 monster truck American Thunder Motorsports outside Lebanon recently. Leach and a group of friends built the truck in 28 days 20 years ago and has been touring ever since.
Ron Leach has more than 20 years of experience putting on motorsports shows, traveling far and wide with his monster truck. He says he's not in it for the money, just the positivity.

It's not every day that most people have an opportunity to ride in a monster truck. The world looks a lot smaller, a lot more crushable from 12 feet up, riding on 6 tons of fun with 66-inch tires.
American Thunder Motorsports in rural Albany is your chance to feel the thrill of monster trucking. Currently operating on a donation basis, Ron Leach has more than 20 years of experience putting on motorsports shows, traveling far and wide with his monster truck. He says he's not in it for the money, just the positivity.
"God is pushing me to keep the good things going," Leach said. "Every time it starts looking bad, we go out and do something good."

Leach said he's driven by the good times the truck creates. He feels compelled by the laughter and love that come from sharing his creation with others. In two decades, he and the truck have been to every state except Hawaii, Australia, all through South America and across Mexico.
The truck was rolled out in 2002. It was built in response to the terror attacks of 9/11. Leach was working at a Palm Harbor Homes cabinet shop at the time. He decided the world needed a little more fun and happiness, and monster trucks were the way to bring it.

"I couldn't join the military, so I wanted to do something," Leach said. "We did the American theme, teamed up with the National Guard in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. … We went to do their deployment parties."

Leach allowed every uniformed service member who wanted it a chance to drive the monster truck, hoping to implant them with fond memories of home and family to warm them during their challenging moments ahead as warfighters. And he wanted their kids to remember seeing mom or dad behind the wheel of the monster machine, having a blast.
"Monster trucks are just wholesome," he said. "It's all about spreading the good cheer."
The truck was built in the Albany area by Leach and what he said was a support team of smart friends who know a lot about monster trucks. He said the truck is totally safe, with plenty of panic buttons to shut it down and lots of insurance.
In the past, Leach's daughter, Kendra Dugger, ran the show. She stepped away, focusing on her work as the assistant coach of the South Albany High School wrestling team. She and her father both wrestled in high school.
To schedule an appointment for a ride you can text Leach at 541-990-4090 or find the company on Facebook and send him a message. Due to pandemic conditions, events are arranged for one family at a time. The truck fits eight passengers in its back seats.

Kenyan bus gunman 'want religious war'
2:42 pm on 23 November 2014
A senior adviser to the Kenyan president says the slaughter of 28 people on a bus by the Somali militant Islamist group al-Shabab is intended to create a religious war in the country.

The adviser, Abdikadir Mohammed, is calling on Kenyans of all faiths to stand together against what he calls heinous crimes.
At dawn on Saturday, al-Shabab gunmen attacked the bus in northern Kenya, shooting dead non-Muslim passengers.
The Somalia-based Islamist group has carried out numerous attacks across Kenya since 2011.
The bus was travelling to the capital, Nairobi, when it was stopped in Mandera county, not far from the border with Somalia.
Gunmen separated out non-Muslims by asking passengers to read from the Koran, officials and witnesses said. Those who failed were then shot in the head.
Kenya's Red Cross confirmed that 28 of the 60 passengers on the bus were killed, 19 men and nine women.
One survivor, Douglas Ochwodho, told how he was singled out to be killed but was not shot and then pretended to be dead among the bodies.
"The aim is to create conflict between the Muslims and the non-Muslims in this country," Mr Mohammed told the BBC. "The aim is to create a religious war, religious strife, in Kenya."
"We have had a lot of the Muslim leaders come out today [Saturday] and strongly condemn this and call on Kenyans of all faiths and creeds to stand together against these heinous crimes and criminals."
Al-Shabab said the attack was in retaliation for recent killings of Muslims by the Kenyan security forces in the coastal town of Mombasa.
The Kenyan authorities said they had begun to identify the killers and would bring them to justice.
The interior ministry said a camp belonging to the attackers had been destroyed by Kenyan military helicopters and jets, with "many killed".
Militants claim Kenyan bus attack
Gunmen from the Somali militant group al-Shabab say they have attacked a bus in northern Kenya, separating out non-Muslims and killing 28 of them.

Samsung Galaxy A14 5G Review: A Phenomenal $200 Phone
M&M's Are the Best Trolls on the Internet
Climate Reparations Won't Work
Samsung's Galaxy Book Flex, its most interesting laptop in ages, is now available in the US
Samsung's Galaxy Book Flex, one of the first laptops with a QLED display, and one of Samsung's most premium laptops in ages, is now on sale in the US. It's a sign the company is becoming more serious about its laptop offerings.
The Galaxy Flex is a premium 2-in-1 laptop that comes in both 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch sizes. It features a snazzy metal blue design, with a built-in fingerprint reader and a slot for the S-Pen – a feature I appreciate as someone who has lost too many styluses over the years.
Spec-wise it's your usual 2020 ultrabook, with a10th-Gen Intel Core i7 (1065G7), 8/12GB of ram, and 512GB of storage. There's a micro SD card reader on board, and Samsung says the 69.7 Wh battery should get you through 20 or 19 hours for the 13 or 15-inch model, respectively.
The star of the show is really that QLED display, which Samsung promises can achieve 400 nits of brightness in regular usage and over 600 nits in a special 'Outdoor Mode.' The screen also covers 100 percent of both the sRGB and DCI-P3 color gamut, though there doesn't seem to be a proper HDR mode.
The big disappointment is that 1080p is your only option for resolution. 1080p on a 13-inch screen already hurts my eyes, but it just seems cruel on a 15-inch display. But at least Samsung is promising good sound from the AKG-tuned speakers to drown out all those visible pixels.
Another neat bonus – you can wireless charge your phone by placing it on the touchpad. I just hope you don't need your mouse while you're doing so, but it's still nice to have in a pinch.
Along with the Flex, Samsung also announced the Flex Alpha and Ion laptops. They feature a similar QLED display and metallic build — albeit in a more staid silver rather than a snazzy blue — but come in at slightly lower prices. The Flex Alpha has a weaker processor and smaller battery, while the Ion loses the 2-in-1 capabilities. On the plus side, it comes with slightly better battery performance at 22 hours, and even packs an HDMI port.
For all of Samsung's presence in the tech world, it's not the first name that comes to mind when it comes to PCs. It's made some headway in the world of Chromebooks, but Dell, HP, Surface, Lenovo, and others seem to hold more mindshare in premium PCs as the Samsung has mainly focused its high-end efforts on smartphones. Considering lackluster phone sales — and a relative uptick in PC sales — maybe now is the time to diversify.
The Galaxy Book Flex is available from Samsung's website starting at $1,350. The Galaxy Book Ion starts at $1,200, while the Flex Alpha starts at $1000.

Costa Rica goes 75 days powering itself using only renewable energy
March 24, 2015 Ben Tufft News Briefs 0
Costa Rica has achieved a clean energy milestone by using 100 per cent renewable energy for a record 75 days in a row.
The feat was achieved thanks to heavy rainfall, which powered four hydroelectric plants in the first three months of the year, the state-run Costa Rican Electricity Institute said.
No fossil fuels have been burnt to generate electricity since December 2014, in the state which is renowned for its clean energy policies.
While Costa Rica is a small country, with a popular of about 4.8 million people, it has made great strides in its use of renewable energy.
Last year 80 per cent of the energy used came from hydropower, while geothermal energy made up about 10 per cent of the mix in the volcano-strewn nation. Currently 94 per cent of Costa Rica's energy needs are met by renewables.
New geothermal projects are already in the planning stages, to ensure that the Central American state does not have to rely on fossil fuels in the future.
The government approved a US$958 million geothermal project in mid-2014.
The first plant, when completed, is expected to produce 55 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 55,000 homes. A further two 50 megawatt plants will be built nearby.

Lets face it, if you engage an architect to renovate or build a new home, the probability is that you're not looking for something that appears 'cookie- cutter made'. However, with the cost of real estate heading north, in line with the cost of building, it's not surprising that architectural briefs err on the side of caution. What is the market showing for a renovated house in the area? Which houses tend to fetch the highest prices? It's only natural that answers to these questions are posed before architectural schemes are presented? But are people becoming more adventurous, designing homes that suit their needs, rather than one dictated to by the housing market?
Architect Clare Cousins, speaking on a panel at next month's DesignBUILD Expo, specialises in high-end residential work, designing new homes and renovating period homes. "Some clients come to us with a clear brief about what they need, such as number of bedrooms, but aren't overly prescriptive about what it should look like," says Cousins. "Generally, they are mindful of resale as it's the largest investment in their lives, but they're open to ideas, and keen to look at new materials," she adds.
Cousins initiates a design by sitting down with clients and asking them how they live now, as well as how long they want to stay in their home? "We're mindful of creating sustainable homes that at least give people the option of staying for the long term, from having toddlers, to having university students still living at home," says Cousins. "Spaces should be flexible enough to allow for different ages," she adds.
Richard Earle, a director of Jellis Craig real estate agents, sees a number of different trends in the marketplace. According to Earle, one of the market segments is the 'baby boomers', scaling down from their large family homes. "They're willing to pay top dollar for something that's more adventurous, or renovate something that responds to their needs, rather than following the market," says Earle. In contrast, Earle identifies a younger market, renovating for a quick sale. "This group tends to watch all the television shows. The renovation may appear sharp on first inspection, but it's not quality". And then there's the young family with school-age children who tend to renovate with a 10-year plan to stay. "Often these are smaller renovations, but with every move, there's a motivation to sell at some point and interest in what the market is responding to," adds Earle.
Architect Tim O'Sullivan, director of Multiplicity, on the panel, see a dichotomy in the marketplace. On one hand, he sees design as a desirable commodity and reaching a broader audience. However, on the other he sees the industry as becoming 'faddish'. "We had the rough exposed industrial look, with exposed bricks and concrete floors. Now it seems to be headed to the post-modernist pastel look (think 1980s)," says O'Sullivan, who sees this trend as benefiting sales of finishes, such as tiles. "But a home isn't about fashion, following a look," he adds.
Although some potential clients walking through the Multiplicity office for the first time might talk about 'resale', that type of client is generally not prepared to look at something more adventurous, or more importantly, something that captures the way in which they live. Likewise, those announcing they want 'an award-winning house or renovation' are also seen with caution. "An award- winning design generally doesn't come from either direction. Usually, we are handed quite a complex brief and it's about finding solutions, not by following market trends," adds O'Sullivan.

Alumnus Organizes "Morale For Mauti" Campaign
By Zach Berger
In case you missed the Penn State football game against Indiana on Saturday and haven't found your way to a computer, a television, or a newspaper stand since, I regret to inform you that linebacker Michael Mauti suffered what looked to be a serious left knee injury and has most likely played his last football as a Nittany Lion.
Mauti was almost certainly the emotional leader of this team in what has been a trying year for the entire university. Thanks to that leadership role and his never-say-die attitude, Mauti has become a fan favorite and will always be remembered as one of the best representations of what it means to be a Penn Stater.
But now it is time for us to give back to someone that has dedicated so much of the last four years of his life to Penn State. Kelly Burns, a Penn State alum, has put together an event called Morale For Mauti, an effort to boost Mauti's spirit as he deals with this injury, whatever the extent of it may be.
The Facebook group for the event says thats its purpose is to "send well-wishes and support to Michael Mauti through cards and letters to let him know how much he means to our community." It adds that the initiative has been approved by Penn State linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden.
All willing participants are urged by Burns to send their letters or cards to the Lasch Football Building, addressed to "Attn: Michael Mauti", or fill out this Google Doc.
"It's hard to put into words how much Michael Mauti means to Penn State, its students, alumni, and fans," the event's description says. "He has made a tremendous positive impact on us all through his fiery spirit, passion, and drive."

The apparent growth in the use of wood frame systems in multi-story non-residential buildings brings with it an additional amount of risk - particularly during construction. As one news reporter observed, "The disadvantage of wood-framed buildings is obvious: wood burns." This has been proven recently in several high-profile and spectacular fires, but there are many more lesser-known examples of the impact of using combustible materials.
To keep SFIA members informed about the trends and implications of wood framed construction, it has begun tracking examples that collectively are creating a mosaic of risk that should make insurers, building owners, and fire marshals uncomfortable.
Project Description: 3 story, 134-unit, wood framed senior residential.
Building Status: Completed in December 2014, with 80 occupants.
Firefighters are concerned changes that allow Ontario builders to erect taller wood frame buildings will pose a greater safety risk, citing last year's fire at a Kingston, Ont. housing complex under construction as an example of what could happen.
When is an Under-Construction Wood Frame Apartment Building at Risk?
After an arson fire that destroyed the unfinished Monroe Apartments in Northeast Portland last year, fire officials are insisting on increased security at similar construction sites. The building was one of a wave of mid-rise apartment projects built with several stories of wood framing.


Police in Zamfara are currently quizzing a lecturer with the College of Education, Maru in Zamfara State, Malam Yakubu Maradun, over the mysterious death of his wife, Naja'atu.
Naja'atu's decomposing body was found in their home, four days after she was declared missing.
According to a source, the late Naja'atu left home last Monday with the permission of her husband to go to a commercial bank for her Biometric Verification Number, but did not return home.
Her husband, friends and relations were said to have raised the alarm and later organised a search party.
It was learnt that the search for the missing woman was intensified until last Friday when one Malam Attahiru, a close relation of the deceased, visited Maradun to sympathise with him over the incident.
A relation of the late Naja'atu, Malam Lawali Tsafe, narrated to NorthernCityNews that Attahiru, who went to sympathise with Maradun met him with one other person at home.
Tsafe said, "Malam Attahiru, on entering the house, was greeted with an offensive odour and when he asked the two men if they also perceived the bad smell, the husband replied that it could be from a broken toilet.
"When the visitor insisted that the room where the odour was coming from should be opened to verify the source of the bad smell, Maradun claimed he did not have the key to the room.


For a small fee, anyone can have an envelope full of brightness delivered to a person they would probably never have to talk to again. Like many budding entrepreneurs, Carpenter assembles a simple website to sell its services. There are several types of envelopes that are used in a variety of purposes. Commercial envelopes play an important role in writing any business letter or any offer that should be sent to customers. Today you can use your envelope for practically any event. Find printed envelopes Once you have selected the envelopes, you must find a way to print your design. Designing an ideal envelope for your mail can be quite difficult and take a long time without a large envelope template.
It is possible to make the envelopes on your own obeying the sample templates of absolutely free envelopes available here. The envelopes are not so bad as soon as you discover how to do it from the first moment. For another distinctive touch, Tyvek envelopes can provide a personalized feel and look for a high-end resort or other business that wants your envelope to convey the provider's condition. An envelope is not a place to show all the new sources you just downloaded. You can print envelopes quickly in a couple of steps with WordPad. Envelopes with an access card can be created in Tyvek along with the paper. When you have decided that a crucial card envelope is appropriate for you, you must decide which copy (text and images) will go on the envelope.
The first step is pretty obvious, you should get cards. The card should not be too motley or too faded. Since a crucial card does not have a closing flap, you can easily print on both sides if you want more space. If you have plastic gift cards made, it is much smarter to include items such as a personalized paper envelope with the name of your organization, than to leave the presentation to the person who purchases the card.
If the client is one that you would like to keep and is worth keeping, using this type of intermediary will ensure that it is easier to maintain an excellent working relationship with the client after the bills are paid. You can open an envelope and see a really simple and also unique message that people can read according to the template and also the design that can be used for a basic postcard. To put it another way, companies grow. Any business can have a massive impact with the right elements that are displayed in the stationery of your organization. The company audits Work wherever your company is right now.
The templates can be used to make a CV, resume to request jobs. The templates have an excellent administration panel and complete response capabilities. Template Design Service template design is the simplest way to present your online business easily to your customers and add more customers to your Internet business. In addition, the templates use smart objects that allow you to update 1 file and use the settings in all the profiles instead of making exactly the same change several times. I look at our envelope template and you will realize how beautiful it is. The company's envelope templates are some of the most reliable platforms that can support wonderful envelopes.

There are two versions of the birth of Christ in the Gospels. Luke's version is full of amazement and wonder, and while fear is present, it is more of a sense of awe of all God can do rather than a fear of something bad happening. Matthew's version, however, contains a very real fear: fear of rejection of Mary by Joseph; fear by Herod of what the birth of the Messiah, called the King of the Jews, means for him; and fear for Mary, Joseph and Jesus for Jesus' own life.
As we prepare for Christ to enter our lives in a new way, are we afraid to actively participate in the reign of God? Are we afraid of speaking out and offending others? Are we afraid of losing our own status in society? Are we afraid of losing our own life? Or are we really afraid that to follow Christ and prepare for his coming again, we would have to change the way we live? What fears are holding you back this Advent season, and where can you let go of your fears and embrace the awe and wonder of Christ doing a new thing in our world and in our lives?
God of Wonder, Amazement and Awe, guide us to living lives worthy of following You. Help us to let go of our fears and embrace the wonder and amazement, even if we are looked down upon or lose favor among friends. Lord, help us to let go of our earthly fears and embrace heavenly awe. In the name of Christ, who is coming again in a new way, we pray. Amen.


The customers talk: With the rise of OTAs and review sites, hospitality companies are highly exposed to social media outbursts.
So here are 5 of the most pressing (and very plausible) tech nightmares menacing hospitality businesses everywhere, plus some tips for how to reduce the risk and impact.
32% of companies said they were hit by cyber crime in 2016, even affecting global giants such as Yahoo, Ebay, Sony, Hilton, FedEx (as well as Donald Trump himself) in the last 2 years alone.
This is especially dangerous to the hospitality industry, as it is paramount to instill a feeling of comfort and protection. Hotel databases not only store credit and debit card information, but with digital keycard information, actual access to an individual's safe space.
Hackers find their way into systems through points of weakness. It seems that hyper-vigilance is the only way that hacking can be somewhat circumvented, with Ehotelier claiming that 95% of all data breaches can be traced back to human error. All it takes is one lazy password and a seasoned hacker has everything they need to install malware strong enough to watch and log everything that computer does from then on – and 'keystroke logging' is only the tip of the iceberg.
To reduce the risk, the experts at Cluboid, who specialize in CRM software for bar, restaurant and nightclub management, recommend good intrusion detection software, and staff training to encourage employees to routinely change their passwords, never open email attachments or allow the use of external pen drives/CDs on company computers. By taking these steps, businesses will avoid highlighting themselves as obvious targets and therefore better maintain the integrity of their data.
Scarily, researchers from Yale and Oxford have predicted the actual dates that they anticipate A.I. to surpass human capability in a number of different fields. Experts put forward the idea that by 2024, A.I. will be able to translate languages more efficiently than humans, write high-school level academic essays by 2026, perform complex surgery by 2053 and eventually possess the ability to formulate a New York Times bestseller in 2049.
Whilst this concern certainly isn't restricted to the hospitality sphere, as hospitality is about servicing basic human requirements, it does stand to uproot the industry at it's core. One 5 star hotel in Japan is already equipped with its own lifelike robot concierges.
However, as A.I. is yet to be able to conquer the realms of feeling and complete creative thought, businesses can fend off the effects of A.I. by reinvesting in roles that require genuine empathy and a uniquely human touch.
Employees remaining well versed in areas such as: generating fruitful business partnerships, building human rapport, negotiation, liaison, strategy, recruitment and HR, will continue to be an integral part of each and every hospitality team.
Social media is ruthless, immediate, and around the clock. It only takes one viral disaster to destroy a reputation that took many years of hard work to build. Just ask United Airlines.
In addition to countless social media channels, the hospitality industry also has the most active websites for leaving feedback and reviews, second only to retail. Public perception is a big concern for all brands, but it is even more important to an industry where opinion forums are so prevalent.
When negativity spreads online – whether that be a review, leaked business information, a video or a photograph – it is practically impossible to keep it contained. That is one business nightmare entirely enabled by technology.
Companies can put themselves in a position of strength by using social media scheduling and monitoring software such as Hootsuite, Buffer, Tweetdeck and SocialSprout to set alerts on keywords relative to their respective company. This means you are notified the moment something about your business is put out into the public sphere, and gives you the best chance to turn the customer experience around before it escalates.
A Harris Poll revealed that 68% of customers that left negative reviews online got a response, and 18% of them went on to then become loyal customers because of how the brand turned things around. 33% of the original 68% then endeavoured to post a positive review, and 34% even deleted the original negative one.
Prevent bad press circulating by making sure you are on the ball with feedback and and when it arises.
Most big, tech-savvy brands are accustomed to automating their marketing using large sets of customer information known as 'big data'. It makes light work of things such as promotions, customer service, outreach, market research and sales. For example: we can see that a certain group of people on file are interested in wine-tasting events, spend an average of X on a holiday or live within a certain distance and therefore our computer algorithms know to contact them with things that may be of interest.
However, another tech nightmare borne of the big data shortcut seems to be that companies are sourcing their data wrongly. US Office supply store, OfficeMax, sent one poor, unsuspecting customer a disturbing letter after purchasing a mailing list from an unverified third-party provider, which also held personal information obtained from press clippings and web searches.
Often these data sets are taken by crawling the internet, or shared in some sort of agreement much like the medical data exchange between the NHS and Google earlier this year.
The problem lies in that the computers have no way of gauging the authenticity and often context of any of the information provided. Such huge volumes of data have now been collected that often they hold incorrect, skewed or inaccurate data, which unwitting companies then use this to push a sale. If big data isn't analysed thoroughly it can result in spam as well as frustrated users unsubscribing, unfollowing and ultimately, taking their custom elsewhere.
To avoid such mishaps, it is important in hospitality management to not cut corners and instead carefully curate data using credible sources and public record repositories. Alternatively, customer experience tools such as HotJar, Kissmetrics or IBM Analytics can provide thorough audience data and are also platform-neutral. This means they watch not just desktop activity, but also mobile and tablet so you can be sure it is a fair representation. No more foolhardy outreach which damages your brand.
– Peter Sondergaard, Senior Vice President of Gartner Inc.
Millennials and the Generation being referred to as Gen Z (anyone born after 2004) are digital natives, and thanks to internet access and vlogging culture, they're also among the most self-taught generation of all time. This has created a generation eager to engage and interact, which traditional marketing has a hard time keeping up with.
If businesses are neglecting engagement in their strategies moving forward, they will fail to capture a market with an expected annual spend of $3.39 trillion in 2018. For the digital native, engagement is best achieved through technology.
Hospitality companies should look to improve user experience in an interactive way where possible using things such as gamification, mobile integration, digital information points, chatbots, apps, digital loyalty schemes and smart alternatives to the services that they currently offer such as virtual menus, mobile ordering and interactive jukeboxes. Aloft Hotel Group have even premiered voice activated rooms, and a text service enabling room service solely through the use of emojis.
To stay up-to-date on industry trends and learn the latest strategies, hospitality managers should continually invest in further training. Glion offers tailored hospitality management training courses for companies on the campuses in London and Switzerland, as well as an MBA in Hospitality that prepares hospitality management professionals to assume higher levels of responsibility and meet future industry challenges.

Three more pioneers journey west: Jameson Woodling (Allen Fitzpatrick), Mary (Taryn Darr) and Craig (Eli Lotz). Jameson Woodling is the husband of Cayla, until she frees herself from him. (Allen is pulling double duty, also portraying Craig's Dad.) Mary is one of the ladies who comes to town after the miners have set up camp. (Taryn is also pulling double duty, starting out as Sarah Woodling, the second wife of Jameson Woodling.) Craig is a young man who travels west with his father, both hoping to make a new start for their family.
Portraying Jameson Woodling is 5th Avenue veteran, Allen Fitzpatrick. Most recently on our stage, Allen was seen as big boss himself Biggley in How to Succeed… He has over forty appearances on Seattle stages, including 21 here at The 5th. Allen was also a regular on Broadway, having performed in ten shows on the Great White Way. He is also the Artistic Director of the Icicle Creek New Play Festival. You can find out more about him at allenfitzpatrick.weebly.com.
Taryn Darr is also no stranger to our stage, having also been seen earlier this season in How to Succeed… Some of her other favorite roles at The 5th include A Chorus Line (Val), White Christmas (Judy), Jasper in Deadland (Secretary Hathaway), ELF, Catch Me… and Spamalot. Taryn has also been seen regionally in Chicago (Roxie), Legally Blonde (Brooke), South Pacific (Nellie) and Something Rotten (NYC Lab).
Eli is returning to The 5th for the first time this year, but he's practically a veteran of our stage at this point: he has been in our productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Oliver!, as well as the Rising Star Project: Spamalot. Eli has also been seen in A Christmas Carol at ACT, and has been involved with over 30 shows at Edmonds Heights K-12.
Don't miss Allen, Taryn, Eli, and the other pioneers, in our 'revisal' production of Lerner & Loewe's Paint Your Wagon. The show runs June 2 through June 25. Visit our website for more information and to purchase tickets.

Revealed: the truth behind Netflix's The OA
Still don't get it? We got a NDE expert to explain the facts
Still don't quite get Netflix's trippy series The OA and the whole life after death jazz? Us neither, which is why we turned to Dr Penny Sartori, a lecturer on Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), for all the facts behind the uber-weird shit that went down in the show.
"An NDE is a subjective experience by someone who has had a close brush with death. Some may have an out-of-body experience, others meet dead relatives or friends. Often the figure sends them back to life, saying, 'It's not your time.' Some literally relive the whole of their life in a matter of seconds. Others describe being dragged into Hell by demons; falling through a black void. But it's all culturally influenced, depending where the person is from."
The Special Powers
"I once met an Arabic woman named Raja who had an NDE during an operation in hospital and came back with a deep understanding of quantum physics. She was able to write papers on things that even established professors couldn't understand, having never studied it before. There was no way she could've plagiarised them – they were too complex. Others come back with language fluency or perfect pitch."
The 'where do they go?' part
"I don't believe that we enter a parallel existence. The brain creates consciousness through neurological processes. Our brain is a filter – a receiver of consciousness rather than a producer of it. When we come close to death that filter action relaxes, allowing this altered state of perception."
The interpretive dance thing
"Shamans all over the world dance and chant to access an alternative mental state. The show could be trying to emulate something like that. Collectively, when all of the tribe do it, it can have a very powerful effect and facilitate a profound collective alternate consciousness."

Landlocked? No Problem, Dude
Surf Club members hit the road to catch waves
by Elizabeth Mills (Col '09)
Robert Ullman
There is little chance that six-foot swells would ever break in the Dell pond, but members of the Surf Club of UVA would be the first to catch the waves if they do. The University's distance from a large body of water and the dearth of surf culture have not proved a deterrent for student surfers: Since 2003, the club, which has about 20 members, has offered surfers and nonsurfers alike the opportunity to "come together around the sport of surfing," according to the group's constitution.
Surf Club president Chris Winstead-Derlaga (Col '09), a native of Norfolk, dates his interest in surfing to preschool. "I always said I wanted to be a professional surfer when I grew up," Winstead-Derlaga says. His parents—neither of whom embraced the beach culture themselves—"just sort of went with it." After years of surf camps, meeting new friends out past the lineup and hanging on the beach, Winstead-Derlaga found that life in first-year dorms left him longing for the wind and the waves of home.
He immediately found kindred spirits in the members of the Surf Club. "With surfing, it's hard to explain, but you just get it," he says. "Even when we're hanging out and watching a movie, we still have the surfing connection."
First-year student Natalie Otsuka (Col '12) also found an instant fit when she stumbled on the club at the fall student activities fair. "I'm from Northern Virginia but my dad's from California, and he definitely brought the surf mentality with him to the East Coast."
The action isn't just on the waves. Club members gather every few weeks to share surf culture—watching surf movies, checking out conditions online and planning trips. Winstead-Derlaga says, "Some of our most enthusiastic members still haven't been surfing. It's as much about culture as anything."
Club members have to travel together to get their feet wet. Winstead-Derlaga says the trips he has taken with the Surf Club are some of his most memorable experiences at the University. One excursion to Hatteras, N.C., in the fall of 2005 found members battling hurricane-force conditions with only four experienced surfers trying to teach the whole group how to catch a wave.
"Hardly anyone could even paddle out," Winstead-Derlaga says, "and if you did manage to get up, the wind would blow you about a mile down the beach." Before long, members were scattered as the wind buffeted them across the water and into the shore. "It was freezing, but it was awesome," Winstead-Derlaga says.
On a trip the following fall to Ocean City, Md., club members participated in an intercollegiate surf competition, also with less-than-ideal conditions. "We had camped out all night on Chincoteague in the pouring rain, and we had to be out on the beach at 7 a.m. The waves were inches high—basically if you caught a wave, you won the competition."
"We were the last heat—when the waves were smallest—and it was funny watching people try to surf. The guy who won caught two waves." Winstead-Derlaga says that despite the conditions, the seven hours the club spent on the road were "totally worth it, especially to spend time in the water."
Perhaps the most unusual trip the Surf Club has taken in recent years was an outing last fall to Massanutten Resort to catch a different kind of wave. Club members rented the "FlowRider Pipeline," a stationary wave-making machine, for several hours to give both experienced and inexperienced surfers a new challenge. Winstead-Derlaga says the Pipeline shot water forward in a continuous stream so surfers could experience the feel of catching a wave. "The weirdest thing was that you start standing up," Winstead-Derlaga says. "Normally you're paddling out and then you stand up once you've caught the wave." Students in central Virginia may need to be creative when it comes to catching a wave, but nonetheless surfing is catching on.

This isn't a discussion about the efficacy of 'banishment', but about the fact that Canada's discriminatory Constitution treats aboriginals and aboriginal reserves differently than all other Canadians. In Canadian communities, 'banishment' can only be done by court order {See below} – unless it's an aboriginal reserve:
"Kingsclear 'First Nation' {a 'nation' of 1,053 people} Band council has "banished" five people from the reserve as part of a stepped-up effort to rid the community of illegal drugs, says the chief.
"These individuals have been identified as trespassers by Chief and Council",
the Band posted on its Facebook page Friday morning, along with the names of the non-Band members and their photographs.
"Effective immediately, these people are not permitted within the boundaries of the reserve for any reason."
"Any Band member found to be housing the banned individuals "shall face consequences" that could include eviction and the loss of social benefits and services {? That's illegal where Canadian citizens are concerned, and these ARE – despite some protests to the contrary – Canadian citizens!}, the notice warns. If any of the "undesirables" are spotted on the reserve, they will be reported to RCMP and could be charged with trespassing under the Criminal Code, said Chief Gabriel Atwin.
{So, the RCMP will be enforcing rights violations?}
"It's not a decision we take lightly",
he said, but
"our job as leaders is to protect the community and that's the steps we're taking."
"As drastic as they seem, again, it's our community and we're trying to take it back."
"Although the individuals have not been convicted, they are allegedly involved in drug activity, said Atwin, based on complaints from members of the Wolastoqiyik community of about 800, located approximately 15 kilometres west of Fredericton.
"Band council does not have the judicial power to charge 'non-'Indigenous' {sic} people, but sought legal advice before banning and publicly identifying the individuals, said Atwin.
"So we're pretty confident that we're pretty safe."
"Kingsclear has banned people in the past, prior to him becoming the chief seven-and-a-half years ago, he said."

"Although rare, banishment orders are not unknown in Canadian law. Territorial restrictions may be built by judges into peace bonds, terms of bail and probationary orders as part of a sentence where permitted by the Criminal Code. Such orders require the accused to stay away from a particular geographic area for the safety of victims or for the benefit of the accused's rehabilitation, for a limited period of time. Banishment-type orders must balance these objectives with the potentially disruptive effect of the order on the accused and the accused's constitutional rights, such as those to freedom of mobility and protection against cruel and unusual punishment.
"The starting point in the case law is Justice Brian Dickson's classic observation in a 1968 decision of the Manitoba Court of Appeal that relations between communities should be based on mutual respect and understanding as opposed to communities ridding themselves of undesirables by
"foisting them off on other communities."
{And yet, that's EXACTLY what aboriginal reserves are allowed to do – and without a court order! Another example of Race-based law…}
"Yet in a number of cases, time-limited territorial restrictions have been imposed by Canadian sentencing judges and upheld on appeal. For example, the Northwest Territories Supreme Court upheld a sentence imposed by a justice of the peace in a 1983 case that banished the offender from a community he had lived in for one year, as it would not cause him undue hardship, although it limited the duration of the order. The court cautioned that banishment orders must be exceptional and should not be used to
"solve a local problem at the expense of other communities."{!} …"

A robbery suspect fills a trash bag with stolen cigarettes after ransacking a cash register on Saturday, June 2, 2018, at the Chevron station at South 35th Street and National Avenue in Mountain View. Investigators believe the same man robbed the station again Saturday, Nov. 3.
A gunman held up a Mountain View-area gas station last week for the second time in five months, and San Diego police on Thursday sought public help to identify him.
The latest robbery at the Chevron on South 35th Street and National Avenue happened about 3:50 a.m. Saturday, according to San Diego police robbery Lt. Martha Sainz.
Investigators believe the same suspect also robbed the gas station around 4 a.m. on June 2, also a Saturday.
During the first robbery in June, he wore blue jeans, a black hoodie and a baseball cap. Last Saturday he wore blue jeans, a black baseball cap, a blue bandana covering his face and a blue and white plaid shirt.
In both robberies he wore black gloves and carried a black handgun, and both times he fled north on South 35th Street.


The possibility of foreclosure is a reality for homeowners for a lot of different reasons, many that are outside of the homeowner's control. Job loss, divorce, and medical expenses can drastically impact your financial life and threaten homeownership. But receiving a Notice of Default does not seal their fate, and neither does a Notice of Trustee Sale. Homeowners facing foreclosure have options up until the date of the Trustee Sale, but the homeowner must take action.

Q: "Type safety: Potential heap pollution via varargs parameter conds" I have a method whose signature is as follows:
public ClaimSearchPage waitForClaimCondition(String header, String value, Pair<String, String>... conds) {

My intention is to have them pass in several (potentially different number in each call) of pairs.  Each pair has a key and a value.  This method accesses a grid with headers.  The method loops through all the pairs, and for each key verifies that the value in the cell is the value passed in.  Should make sense?
Eclipse gives me a warning "Type safety: Potential heap pollution via varargs parameter conds".  Typically with Eclipse it underlines the code in yellow and when you hover it gives suggestions to fix the problem.  In this case, the only suggestion it gives is to suppress warnings.  I could do that but that is doing just what it says, suppressing warnings.  The warning will still be there.
I see that this warning can refer to types which are not members of supertypes to which they point but I am unsure what to do?
The call also gives a warning "Type safety: A generic array of Pair is created for a varargs parameter" but also offers no solutions.
I call it like this:
 Pair<String, String> cond1 = Pair.of("Status", "Complete");
 Pair<String, String> cond2 = Pair.of("Sub-Status", "Waiting");
 myPage.waitForClaimCondition("Number", "12345", cond1, cond2);

Listen to The-Dream Collaborate With Beyonce on 'Turnt'
Kat Lee
Kat Lee Published: May 22, 2013
It seems as though The-Dream is tapping the entire Carter family for his upcoming album 'IV Play,' set for release on May 28. Jay-Z was previously featured on the track 'High Art' and now Beyonce is providing vocals for the track 'Turnt,' also featuring 2 Chainz. When does Blue Ivy get a feature, man?
Queen Bey delivers sultry and sexy vocals on the track, singing, "Red light special, undress me under the candle light / Turnt up in this business / Watch me do all of them things you like." Oh girl! Why do we think Jay-Z would be a huge fan of this song? Just a hunch...
The song continues as a straight-forward, sexy-time anthem, with The-Dream echoing Beyonce's verse, crooning, "You're my black light special / She hotter than a famous night / Burn up in this... and watch you do all the things I like." Terius Nash even references the other Destiny's Child members, singing, "I told you I was gon' kill it / Got my chains on, I'ma kill it / Where Michelle at / Where Kelly?" The-Dream is obviously paying homage to Michelle Williams along with his rumored boo and future tourmate, Kelly Rowland.
We love Bey's independent and strong woman vibe, but there's something about her sultry songs that really do it for us. It's a side we rarely get to see!
Next: See Beyonce in a Bikini!

Fight Your Stony Point Ticket and Save Money!
A large number of speeding tickets and child seatbelt violations are issued in Stony Point every year. A contributing factor to the large number of tickets has been the Town's emphasis on public safety. Another contributing factor is the large number of police agencies with jurisdictional authority in the Town. Some of these police agencies include the Stony Point Town Police, the New York State Police, and the New York Park Police.
A speeding conviction can result in as little as 3 points on a driver's license and as much as 11 points on their license. A child seatbelt violation will result in 3 points. A conviction to either ticket will also result in a fine and surcharge.
This chart will quickly help you ascertain the number of points you are facing.
About the Court
Stony Point is a court of limited jurisdiction. It has the power to adjudicate some civil, criminal, and traffic matters. As a court with limited jurisdiction, it can only hear civil cases up to $3,000.00 in controversy. Most litigants will refer to these cases as small claims cases. Criminal cases heard in this court are usually limited to misdemeanor and offense matters. Its ability to preside over felony cases is limited up to the felony hearing. It can preside over all cases written under the Vehicle Traffic Law but for felony cases.
What to Expect in Stony Point Traffic Court

Depending on the circumstances, a plea bargain may be struck.

The SW Experts | AM I THAT SINGLE GIRL WHO SURVIVED THE ADELE BREAKUP SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE?
AM I THAT SINGLE GIRL WHO SURVIVED THE ADELE BREAKUP SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE?
Now we all have those songs that remind us of good time and amazing memories. Any Spice Girl song brings me back to the school disco in the gym hall. Take That songs remind me of the heartbreak I went through when the bands split. Nirvana reminds me of my grungy college years and my first boyfriend and drunken house party. But when working your way through the steps of break up, recovery music is a make or break tool in these hard times.
Adele and Sam Smith both have written wonderful songs post break ups as they pour their hearts into their lyrics. But when I was broken hearted I remember my best friend deleting any Adele or Sam Smith song from my phone, out of fear I would jump off London Bridge after a vino or two.
I have only in recent weeks downloaded Adele's newest album. That bad, yep I know!
So how do these great artists channel their pain into practical work? Does this busy life keep them from taking a trip to the tallest London tourist attractions or were their friends also deleting certain songs from their playlists?
Over the past few months my work and life has been manic. Living out of a suitcase, flying here there and everywhere. Having no time to write a That Single Girl update, apologies for that, let alone think about That Single Girl, me. And, those few and far between times I have thought about my love life any butterfly feelings I had for my past love have vanished.
My playlist in back in full swing and I can finally understand what all the hype was about from new album releases. With these songs capturing the pain of a heartache it's interesting to listen to the words pouring out and knowing you survived yet another partner. You survived. I survived. You can smile again awaiting your next victim.
Time is the healer. Not Sam Smith.


Stuck in the midst of fright and regrets, how hard could it be to find out you only have 4 months to live? In the case of Angelina Delgado, who was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer, she chose to go out of the imprisoning agony of cancer and find the cure in nature.
When both her oncologist and anesthesiologist gave up on her condition and told her she only have 4 months to live her life, Angelina got depressed. Not only does she have cancer of the cervix, but it has also damaged her lungs and liver. But with the strength left within her weakening body, she managed to get up and start her journey of finding the cure for her disease.
Fortunately, her sister who happens to be a nurse recommended her to take herbal medicines and resist chemotherapy which led her way to the Dr. Farrah Agustin-Bunch Natural Medical .
It is truly amazing how herbal medicine has paved its way even to the knowledge of those who are primarily using mainstream medicines like Angelina's siblings. Herbal medicines are not just recognized but are acknowledged as the best solutions for cancer treatment.
With all these notions swirling in Angelina's head, bravery has become her shield towards the sword of cancer continuously attacking her. It has been very difficult and painful for her. The thought of a cure has become blurry, but with the right attitude and a perfect dose of herbs care of Dr. Farrah's All-Natural Method to treat cancer, Angelina is now in the process of recovery.

Burgerim is making a big splash in San Antonio with "sensibly sized burgers." Burgerim/ Facebook
Sliders aren't anything new in San Antonio. Anyone who has watched Rachael Ray or visited one of the dozens of pubs and food trucks that serve the mini burgers has surely been eating them for years. But a new restaurant in Ingram Park Mall may soon have locals looking at them in a whole new way.
According to a release, cult burger chain Burgerim is now open at 6301 NW Loop 410. This is the third Alamo City location for the Israeli franchise following openings in North Star Mall and the Park North Shopping Center. A fourth outpost at La Cantera is set to open by the end of the year.
The fast-casual eatery specializes in sliders (the owners call them "sensibly sized burgers") with a Middle Eastern twist, letting customers build their own from a huge variety of patties and toppings.
The name translates to "many burgers" in Hebrew, an apt description for the offerings that come in packs of one, two, three, or 16. The sliders are fully customizable with classic, whole wheat, and gluten-free buns; patties made from Wagyu beef, lamb, salmon, falafel, and more; and toppings like several varieties of cheese, bacon, avocado, and fried egg.
The chain also has chicken and ribeye sandwiches; fresh salads; an assortment of fries; and simple desserts like New York cheesecake, flourless chocolate cake, and a Rice Krispies Treats-style Marshmallow Dream bar.
In celebration of its debut, Burgerim will host a grand opening party starting at 5 pm on October 19. The first 50 guests in line will receive a free Classic Beef Burger, and the next 50 will be able to purchase it for only $1. All 100 will be entered into a raffle for gift cards from Ingram Park stores.
Those who are not punctual will still get a good deal. A donation of a bag of pet food for the San Antonio Humane Society gets guests the same $1 deal, and all others will receive 20 percent off their purchase.

Mr Brett McGurk decided to leave early after President Donald Trump abruptly ordered the withdrawal of US troops in Syria.
WASHINGTON • Mr Brett McGurk, the special presidential envoy to the coalition fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), has accelerated his resignation, telling colleagues at the weekend that he could not in good conscience carry out President Donald Trump's newly declared policy of withdrawing US troops from Syria.
Mr McGurk, a seasoned diplomat who was considered by many to be the glue holding together the sprawling international coalition fighting the terrorist group, was supposed to retire in February.
But according to an e-mail he sent to his staff, he decided to move his departure forward to Dec 31 after Mr Trump did not heed his own commanders and blindsided US allies in the region by abruptly ordering the withdrawal of the 2,000 troops.
His decision comes right after the departure of Secretary of Defence James Mattis, whose own resignation letter was seen as a rebuke of the President's actions in the region.
"The recent decision by the President came as a shock and was a complete reversal of policy that was articulated to us," Mr McGurk said in the e-mail. "It left our coalition partners confused and our fighting partners bewildered," he added.
"I worked this week to help manage some of the fallout but - as many of you heard in my meetings and phone calls - I ultimately concluded that I could not carry out these new instructions and maintain my integrity."
With more than a decade of experience in Iraq spanning three administrations, Mr McGurk helped stitch together the 79-member coalition led by the US, which oversaw the battle to take back cities from the terrorist group. He became special envoy in late 2015 during the Obama administration.
In a shift from the way the insurgency had been fought during the Bush administration, one of the Obama administration's core doctrines was that US allies in the region needed to take the lead in recapturing territory, with US forces providing only air support and limited logistical assistance.
This meant that the ground war to take back key cities captured by the ISIS, like Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria, took years to mount.
And it came down to the 45-year-old Mr McGurk to negotiate alliances and broker military aid to the mosaic of armed groups and governments vying for control of the region.
At its height, ISIS controlled an area the size of Britain with a population estimated at 12 million people. Under Mr McGurk's guidance, the coalition succeeded in taking roughly half of the territory in the group's self-declared caliphate by the time Mr Trump took office early last year.
By the end of this year, ISIS had lost all but 1 per cent of the land it once held in Iraq and Syria, leading the White House to proclaim that the group had been defeated, even though it is still estimated to have some 20,000 to 30,000 fighters in the region.
On Saturday evening, Mr Trump wrote on Twitter that anyone else "would be the most popular hero in America" for announcing the withdrawal of troops from Syria after "decimating ISIS".
He added that he did not know Mr McGurk and questioned the timing of his resignation.
"Grandstander?" the President wrote. "The Fake News is making such a big deal about this nothing event!"
Mr Trump had declared the defeat of the ISIS in a tweet earlier this past week.
Only days before, Mr McGurk had stood in front of reporters at a State Department briefing and promised that America was in the fight for the long haul.
"Nobody is declaring a mission accomplished. Defeating a physical caliphate is one phase of a much longer-term campaign," he said.
"I think it is fair to say that Americans will remain on the ground after the physical defeat of the caliphate, until we have the pieces in place to ensure that defeat is enduring."
The US President's order to begin drawing down troops placed the envoy in the uncomfortable position of having to tell America's Kurdish allies that the US was reneging on its earlier commitment.
"Brett is one of our longest-serving and most effective officials dealing with the region," said General John Allen, Mr McGurk's predecessor.
"His departure, following that of Jim Mattis and others, will leave us less safe at a moment when this President seems unwilling to take, or unable to understand, the 'best advice' of his leaders."
