Nat and Alli kick off the countdown to Halloween right, by discussing Joel Schumacher's blood-soaked teen Vampire classic: The Lost Boys (1987). Although it's not explicitly bisexual, the film contains more queer eroticism than you can shake a stick at, particularly from Kiefer Sutherland as iconic bad boy David Powers. Along the way, we discuss 1980s paranoia around children, Schumacher's rollercoaster of a filmography, and what vampire stories can tell us about the culture that creates them.

Big D was so conflicted on his feelings toward "Stand By Me" that he took an extra 24 hours to process the Rob Reiner classic before delivering his verdict. It's not a fun movie, per se, but it generated some honest reflection from the Shat Crew. Gene was reminded of his childhood friendships, his relationship with The King Bee, and adventures along train tracks. Ash lamented Facebook's refusal to let high school acquaintances fade away, and Big D shared how seeing his first dead body changed his view on death. Also on this episode, the trio discuss whether parents have favorite children, whether Stephen King is a one-trick pony, how to remove leeches, and a theory on Ace Merrill being turned into David Powers from "The Lost Boys." And finally, Ash confronts Big D about rumors he wants her off the podcast.

An in depth tutorial and discussion around the assassination of John F. Kennedy, (JFK) the country's 35th president who was brutally murdered in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963.Episode 59 is the first episode in a two part sub series that begins the transition to Air Force One as the actors leave Parkland Hospital and make arrangements to leave Dallas. This sub series begins the transitions away from the solemn and chaotic events which took place at Parkland Hospital and commences the transition of power after President Kennedy expired, focusing on Vice President Johnson as events hand him the presidency and he begins to take control. We continue the story of an emotionally intense period where both the Johnson teams and the Kennedy teams make their way out of Parkland and back to Air Force One. In our next Episode, Episode 60, Johnson takes the oath of office just moments before Air Force One begins its solemn trip back to Washington, DC. In upcoming episodes, we will cover the travel back to Washington and the autopsy. In upcoming episodes of this forensics series, we'll also explore more of the physical evidence involving use and ownership of the Mannlicher Carcano rifle and evidence recovered from the Presidential limousine, as well as damage done to the vehicle. Our episodes have now begun to explore an array of matters that dive into a deeper darkness related to what went on that day in Dallas and in the period before and after the assassination. Matters that possibly point to a wider and more sinister plot to kill the president and that clearly call into question the theory that there was a lone assassin. Complex cases without an eyewitness that can actually identify the shooter make the forensic and circumstantial evidence that much more important. Ironically, problems abound with much of the evidence in this case. Evidence that is complex, incomplete and sometimes conflicting. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. Stay tuned as there are many more episodes to come!This series comprehensively explores the major facts, themes, and events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We review key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI. We explore the possible involvement of the Mafia in the murder and the review of that topic by the government's House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970's. We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others. Learn more about Lee Harvey Oswald the suspected killer and Jack Ruby the distraught Dallas night club owner with underworld ties and the man that killed Oswald as a national TV audience was watching. Stay with us as we take you through the facts and theories in bite sized discussions that are designed to educate, and inform as well as entertain the audience. This real life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Kennedy, (JFK) the country's 35th president who was brutally murdered in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963.Episode 57 is the second in a multi-part sub series. This sub series tellls the story of the solemn and chaotic events which took place at Parkland Hospital just before and after President Kennedy expired including the confrontation with the Dallas Medical Examiner Earl Rose regarding removal of the president's body. In Episode 57 we encounter more unusual events that took place that day at the hospital. Stumble upon Jack Ruby at Parkland Hospital right at the time the president was being attended to, which is a fact that was discounted by the Warren Commission. This sub series continues the story of an emotionally intense period, and in upcoming episodes, we will cover the travel back to Washington and the autopsy. We'll also explore more of the physical evidence involving use and ownership of the Mannlicher Carcano rifle and evidence recovered from the Presidential limousine, as well as damage done to the vehicle. Our episodes have now begun to explore an array of matters that dive into a deeper darkness related to what went on that day in Dallas and in the period before and after the assassination. Matters that possibly point to a wider and more sinister plot to kill the president and that clearly call into question the theory that there was a lone assassin. Complex cases without an eyewitness that can actually identify the shooter make the forensic and circumstantial evidence that much more important. Ironically, problems abound with much of the evidence in this case. Evidence that is complex, incomplete and sometimes conflicting. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. Stay tuned as there are many more episodes to come!This series comprehensively explores the major facts, themes, and events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We review key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI. We explore the possible involvement of the Mafia in the murder and the review of that topic by the government's House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970's. We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others. Learn more about Lee Harvey Oswald the suspected killer and Jack Ruby the distraught Dallas night club owner with underworld ties and the man that killed Oswald as a national TV audience was watching. Stay with us as we take you through the facts and theories in bite sized discussions that are designed to educate, and inform as well as entertain the audience. This real life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

An in depth tutorial and discussion around the assassination of John F. Kennedy, (JFK) the country's 35th president who was brutally murdered in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963.Episode 46 is a continuation of our journey into the mysterious world of the Grassy Knoll and the idea of a conspiracy. This episode is dedicated to two witnesses Kenneth O'Donnell and David Powers. They were members of the Irish Mafia which is a term of endearment for the coterie of close friends and confidants that surrounded Kennedy during his presidency. None were more influential than these two individuals who came to Dallas with the President and rode in the car just behind the Presidential Limousine that morning. They saw the president assassinated and had a unique view from their seats in the follow car. The tragedy that is the assassination extends itself to more than just the President. The next few episodes which follow 46 will wind down our visit to Dealey Plaza. These episodes begin to explore an array of matters that dive into a deeper darkness related to what went on that day in Dallas, matters that possibly point to a wider and more sinister plot to kill the president.

How can I make my spouse more like me? I didn't say how can I make my spouse like me more. I said how can I make my spouse more like me. There's a tendency for us to want others to see the world in the same way we do. To like the things we like and to have the same views and values as we do. What happens if you're living with someone who sees the world differently? Questions this week: How can an older construction worker develop new sources of income? How can I find new coaching clients? Can my wife read books online and make money from that? How can I persuade my spouse to see the value in setting goals? And I've got good news – And a whole lot more questions if we get to them. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”— Eleanor Roosevelt (Tweet This) When you look at the way that you're bent You can do things for which you are meant Your passions and skills Will pay all your bills And other great blessings are sent Show Notes: Episode – 07-28-17 Title: N/A Subtitle: N/A Summary: In this episode, Dan talks about the theme of making your spouse more like you. People have their own unique personalities, and those personalities are what separate them from everyone else, including family. Rather than let those unique attributes lead to misunderstandings, embrace them. Learn to love them for having an alternate perspective, but don't be afraid to let them know about something they might be missing.

Muslims scholars for centuries have unequivocally asserted the finality of the prophetic message as it was revealed to Muhammad. This is often discussed in the context of the Qur’anic pronouncement that Muhammad was the “Seal of the Prophets” (khatam al-nabiyyin). David S. Powers, Professor of Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University, reexamines the theological implications of this position in relation to the first half of the same verse, which declares, “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but rather the Messenger of God” (33:40). This pairing of prophecy and parenthood led Powers to explore the circumstances for which these words were revealed in his though provoking book Muhammad Is Not the Father of Any of Your Men: The Making of the Last Prophet (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2009). This story unfolds within the narrative of Zayd, Muhammad’s adopted son, and his wife Zaynab. Powers traverses a number of interrelated narratives and themes, including familial relationships in the Near East, myth making and scriptural intertexuality, and the consonantal reconstruction of the Qur’an, among many others. Whether you welcome his argument or not Powers has provided a detailed and stimulating examination of myth, scripture, and tradition. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
