Isaiah 45:11-48:11, Ephesians 4:1-16, Psalms 68:19-35, Proverbs 24:3-4

Today is the 25th day of September welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it is wonderful to be here with you as we bring to the close another one of our weeks together and continue our journey by taking the next step forward, which leads us back into the book of Isaiah. We’ve been camping out in Isaiah for a while, and we’ve got a little bit more to go. We’re reading from the Evangelical Heritage Version this week. Isaiah 45 verse 11 through 48 verse 11.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for another week. We just completed the last full week of this month. We’ll be transitioning again in the coming week, and it just keeps going. It seems like it's going fast but at every moment that we slow down to observe where we are we look back and see that You have been faithful, You have been patient, You have led us every step of the way, You have brought us to this point, and we are supremely grateful to You. We worship You. We love You. And as this week becomes part of our history, we pray that what You've planted in our lives through the Scriptures will yield fruit, will bring a harvest when the time is right. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hey DAB it's Refined by the Fire in Ohio and I wanted to take a minute. We've had just so many people call in with just soul tugging praises and requests. And, so, I wanted to take a minute to rejoice with those who are rejoicing for the gift of sight, for health being restored, for relationships that have been mended. And I don't want to overlook the high points that we go through. And those high points don't diminish the low valleys that we also face. And, so, the calls that we've had coming in, I'm sorry for the loss of your son. I'm sorry about your mom in the nursing home with dementia. And, you know, your hubby not wanting to walk and his health, just each one of your calls I pray with you. I lift you up whether that's in praise or just in comfort and sorrow, both with thanksgiving that we know a God who is bigger than our deepest valleys, who meets us at the peaks where we get to be there and who carries us through each one. And I just thank you guys for being there for me over the years even if I was kind of in the background. But I love you guys and I hope you have a great day.

Good night, everybody this is In Cognito but not to God. I'm calling to ask that God would reach out to a friend. I'll just give his…his initials, Y I'm sorry JY. and he is…he needs to be rescued from male prostitution. And I'm asking that you all will join me in prayer for his deliverance and that God will use him as a point of reference to save many others who are caught up in the same situation. It turns into addiction because you start believing that that's who you are, that that's the only way. You can't see a way out. And he's truly believing all of Satan's lies. So, I'm reaching out to all of you because I know that prayer is power. Help me to push, pray until something happens. I'm asking God to save him by any means necessary. God created him and then paid a very heavy price for him. So, Satan cannot have him in the name of Jesus. I plead the blood of Jesus over him, that God will save him from himself. In Jesus’ name I ask these things. Amen.

Grace and peace Daily Audio Bible family. This is Phil Jordan formerly of New York now of North Carolina. My wife Sherry and I relocated earlier this year. This is a prayer request for the healing and full recovery of my dear sister-in-law Celestine Garner. She and my brother who are pastors of our church back in our hometown of Mount Vernon NY had a bout with COVID in August. Pastor's out and on the mend and…but Celestine is still there in the hospital on a ventilator. Waiting for her to wake up. There’ve been prayers…multiple prayers and many many prayers have already gone up but I'm reaching out to you guys as well. Support the family as well as for God to just complete this work of restoration in both of them so she can live to continue to spoil everyone and be the most hospitable person she's ever been. I'll tell you it's just something to deal with, this illness because you have to suffer so long in…in isolation. She’s been in the hospital for a while, so you can't visit. But we're praying and we pray in the Spirit that she's been able to hear us and feel our love and prayers. So, pray with us for her restoration and for healing, for God to raise her up, for it to be a great testimony for her to live the rest of her days, see her yet to be born grandchildren and spoil them in Jesus’ name. Thank you.

Good morning DABalonians. Casey Sean Pierce from Hawaii I love the way you started it with your various names for the community at Daily Audio Bible. It was great. My name is Treasured Possession, and I would like to pray for your wife. I want you to know that I am the wife of a husband who I have been married to for 35 years and he has been sober for 12. And it's not easy but it is beautiful. And God…God is mighty. Shamara, I pray that you shall know the truth and that the truth will set you free. I pray that you would remain free. I pray your children will be settled in a home of peace and that you will have the time to focus on yourself and your recovery. I pray that you will know all you have in Christ Shamara, that you'll have a solid sponsor in a group that loves you understand you and supports you in your recovery. I pray you will not seek drama to distract from the pain. I pray that you will be able to endure the pain as you…as the pain is revealed to you and that peace that passes understanding will fill your soul, your mind and you will be as you were redeemed in the word made flesh your savior Jesus. I pray God's almighty blessing upon you, and I pray for an amazing and phenomenal life for you and your husband and your family and that your mother-in-law and mother would be blessed as well. Father God, I thank you for people in recovery. I thank you Father God for your…for you Jesus that that brings it all…that makes it all happen. And thank you Daily Audio Bible family that undergirds all of the believers in prayer. And thank you Brian, Jill, and Ezekiel and all the team behind. Amen.

We might not have the prettiest of faces, but we love making videos, and that ain't free. We've got to pay our video creators, our rent, our order-monkey Justin to buy all his Chinese food, and for all those other "fun" bills. Our Vault members make this possible.

Try out the Vault for free and get all our DVDs and Blu-Rays... Even more testimonials from real Vault members... "Vault is full of awesome content that a warhammer fan would love to watch. Great painting tutorials by Kris too! He is one of the best parts about the vault. It's cheap too so i really have been enjoying my vault experience."Jebu911 from Finland"I joined for the free painting tutorial DVD and stayed for the awesome-ness. This site has a lot of interesting videos. It's a great deal for the money. The Batreps are really cool and I've learned a lot about Warhammer 40k (a game I've recently picked back up) and other games that are played on a large table. I had so much fun I upgraded my service to Silver. It was the best deal for me. Looking forward to more painting videos, more batreps and more awesome-ness. Thanks guys!"Jake from Oklahoma - USA"You should join the vault 'couse its awesome. Sure you can go to you tube and watch, but thats just half the fun, in the vault you get to see all videos MWG have done over the years, and not only that, if you choose silver or gold membership,(Gold member myself since i like what they are doing and we should suport the community as good as we can), you get to download the videos and you get free downloadable dvd, its awesome. MWG Wants YOU to join the vault and be part of the awesomeness that is MWG"Andreas from Boden, Sweden"I had been watching MiniWarGamings 40k battlereports for roughly a year before I decided to join The Vault. I liked the videos and the contents that they made, and I felt that I wanted to contribute. As I was running low on battlereports that I hadn't seen, I decided to take the leap. I was flabbergasted. The amount of contents you get, just for the silver membership, is insane. Countless battlereports, free DVDs, painting tutorials, strategies, post-game videos, the works. I'm pretty sure that I will never get through it all, and I see this as a immensly good thing. If you like what you see on Youtube and you are thinking about joining, but are afraid to not get value for your money, allow me to stop you right there. If you have only seen the free stuff, you have just seen the tip of the iceberg. I can heavily recommend anyone considering in joining The Vault. It's a great value for money, awesome content and more time with the people that we love: The MiniWarGaming team. "Martin Nord from Denmark"Potential Vault Member, Kolonel Kraig here with a dispatch from the Bunker in DC ~ First off let me inform you of the type of individuals that are Miniwar Gaming.  I have had the honor of meeting Matthew, Dave and the rest of the MiniWar Gaming crew on a weekend gaming marathon at their headquarters located in Welland, Canada.  Without a doubt these guys are genuine gamers who truly love the game and the community they support.  They welcomed me and my sons as long lost friends and treated us as if they had known us for life.  Their website is second to none in regards to battle reports, informational videos, and just outstanding entertainment value as a whole.  With that being said, membership in the vault opens up twice the available content as opposed to being a nonmember.  The extra insight into the internal happenings of MWG – such as behind the scenes, outtakes, post battle reports, and the making of videos, opens up a wealth of entertainment/knowledge at such a minimal expense.  I feel they could even triple the cost and the vault would still be a fantastic value!  Combine the entertainment value with the fact that you receive discounts for gaming purchases for the higher memberships and you are able to more than save the cost of membership in a very short time.  In short the higher memberships pay for themselves AND you receive double the content from the website. No brainer here – join today. Happy Awesome Sauce War Gaming Kolonel Kraig                  "Kolonel Kraig from Washington D.C., U.S.A."Awesome battle reports, painting tips and Q&A's. Seriously, these guys awakened the slumbering 40k gamer in me. Each and every one of the miniwargamers have an ability to make their videos fun and exciting to watch. Best regards from Denmark!"Lasse from Copenhagen, Denmark"The Vault contains an awesome of collection of videos for just about any one. For people who are looking for something to watch for recreation, the numerous batreps of all kinds are great for entertainment. For me, the real treasure trove is the countless videos on painting, modelling, and converting. I have learned a lot from these videos which have greatly contributed to my enjoyment of the games. I highly recommend joining the vault, as there is always something to learn from or get a good laugh out of. Worth every penny! "ti9999 from New Jersey, USA"I've only been a vault member for a few days, but it's the best money I've ever spent on an online service. The access to the free DVDs alone is worth far more than the yearly subscription and is absolutely filled to the brim with helpful ideas and tools for gamers to get the most out of their miniatures. Literally hundreds of videos compiled into one place that will save me many hours of aggravation. A+, MiniWarGaming. Keep it up!"Brandon S from Portland, OR" The vault is a place of non stop entertainment; entertainment that rapidly changes to what you desire. There are the videos of every variety, from battle report to WWII background on some piece of tabletop scenery, to drybrushing techniques. But beyond this you can interact with any of the MWG personnel via live shows, make requests, tell them where they screwed up in a battle, throw around ideas or just bury yourself in nonchalant chit chat. The spark you once felt when beginning down the hobby path will be reignited, that flame kept burning strong. It certainly does for me. Thanks MWG!"bigoldfrog from Earth, The Milky Way"Once...the world of gaming was dark,and without warmth. A desolate plain awash with Internet trolls,and cheesie power gamers.Then a light in the distant north appeared and the weary casual gamers of the cosmos were drawn to it.Within this light there spun a glorious Cube of green and white,held aloft by two brothers in arms.BEHOLD MINIWARGAMING.The people rejoiced and declared that it was good. Then the Brothers saw that some amount the people wanted a place apart,a place of joy and contentment,where the Brothers could speak directly to the people and be spoken to in turn.Thus was The Miniwargaming Vault was created to meet the people's need,and it was good.Join us my friend,join the Vault and rejoice with us. Life on the Vault side is very good."Thayvian1 from Oak ridge Tennessee "The vault is a painter's best friend. I can paint very nice looking lenses because of the vault and their battle reports entertain me during the long hours of hobbying. I love the MWG vault and would heartily recommend it to anyone!"Alex from California, United States"Why YOU should join the miniwargaming vault? Well, beside the extra content and the occasional free DvD, the vault is a great place to meet, disscuse and share your part of any tabletop hobby! And don't forget, the more vault members, teh more content on MwG!"Martin B from sweden"A big thanks for MWG, I am most pleased I have found this site and I am enjoying a wonderful silver membership to the vault. If anyone whom reads this and is thinking of joining then DO SO! - don't put if off, it truly is great value for very little money and as a certain mini-war-gamer says "you will be loving your life!!" Being a vault member you are provided with not only 100's of hours of entertainment, but tutorials galore - from tactical play to painting and modelling. Yet the biggest benefit you will get is unadulterated inspiration. Joining the MWG community will inspire you to make it all your own, from painting to terrain tutorials, from banter-play down your local club and even wanting to film bat-reps to share with your mini-war gaming fellows! I look forward to seeing you here soon!"Zetr0 from Norfolk, United Kingdom"I was hesitant at first, I'm not a big battle report fan and that was most of what my exposure to MWG was. Once I signed up I've been hooked on all the terrain videos, the Tactica videos and most of all the painting tips - the quick tip painting series is worth the price alone!"Apocryphal Lore from Ontario, Canada"Its been worth the money for 2 years now. i joined for the tutorials and getting more batreps each week was a welcome bonus. Some weeks there's so much to watch i cant finish everything in the week. The vault is also great for getting to know everyone at MWG. They have posted some awesome behind the scenes videos that are humorous and a nice break from the batreps."Sketh from US"You should join the vault to get to view more painting tutorials and more of the best battle-reports on the internet, as well as to support the amazing people who make them possible."Anthony Zapata from San Antonio, Texas"The reasons I joined the vault was to get more content and learn more about the complicated games we play. I usually listen/watch while im at work, so its kinda like im playing as well. Which is really awesome because I only get to game once every 2 weeks or so. The vault also helps players up there game on painting which is an nice added bonus for me. I believe other members would enjoy the same."Chris Langs from Chicago Illinois"This site is amazing! join and you won't regret it."Daniel Hsu from Taiwan"These guys are great! Great videos and always lots of fun to watch. The 'quick tips' are super helpful. Thanks MWG!"troy95 from United States"Hi all! My name is Anna and I'm currently a Bronze member of the vault and a relative newcomer to the hobby (got into WH40K this July). The two main personalities on the Vault are Dave - a crazy, speed-talking, wild-eyed follower of the Chaos gods, and Kris, the master painter with the velvety smooth voice (seriously he kinda makes it difficult to paint when he's talking :P). Dave's battle reports and discussion on armies as well as earlier terrain projects were definitely handy and I can honestly say my painting skills have gone through the roof since I've been watching Kris's videos here in the Vault. If I had one issue with the vault - which really isn't a complaint - is there is SO much creativity going on here I want to do one of every project and well, I'm a college student with limited time/space/money so that isn't happening. Other than that y'all, you *NEED* to sign up, I mean it. :)"Jedigirl from Atlanta, Georgia"Hello MiniWarGamer staff and potential vault members! I rejoined the war gaming community after a hiatus of 20 years. I lured back by a MWG series of WH 40K tutorials on You Tube and was pleasantly surprised with the quality. I was particularly pleased with the painting tutorials by Kris M, and enjoyed the various Battle Reports. Which, lead me to want to see what was in the vault. I joined as a silver member and was blow away by the shear number of painting tutorials and DVD's that were available as a silver member. In the past I've joined other walled content sites and immediately regretted it. Not this time, now I'm considering upgrading to Gold."SC from Florida"To all of you out there considering joining the Mini Wargaming Vault.... Like a lot of you out there, I have a pretty busy life. Between work and family and the myriad of other distractions that happen day-to-day, it's hard to find time for our hobbies. So, for me, I often find myself staring at the shelves of unpainted grey plastic and metal, wondering how wonderful it would be to get those miniatures finished. Then I see the boxes of unbuilt miniatures and think, "I really should get started on those." All of this contemplation lasts for a whopping two or three minutes and then I'm distracted once more. C'mon you've been there! Since joining the Mini Wargaming Vault however, my procrastinating ways have begun to change. Inspired by the amazing content found here, I have a paint brush in my hand more often. A miniature gets assembled, and all seems right with the world (queue the symphonic music here.) Like a daily dose of nerdy Prozac wrapped in a cheese and bacon sandwich, Mini Wargaming's Vault keeps delivering Wargaming goodness that I look forward to. So to you, Guy or Girl sitting passively on the fence, get over your doubts, your fears, and become a Vault Member now! You'll not regret it!"Mr. Varanus from Indianapolis, USA"My favourite hobby site, the content i get access to for being a vault member is awesome. From painting tips to batreps, i love all the stuff i get here! Totally worth it!"Ken from São Paulo, Brasil"When I discovered MiniWarGaming a few years ago, I had just recently joined the 40K bandwagon. Recently, I joined the Vault because there were so many great videos with tips and tricks that I had never experienced before! I eagerly await the day when I can truly do my miniatures justice by using all these great tutorials techniques!"Angus Jameson from Ramsey, Minnesota

Robert Covington Was a Good Player, End of Story

I hope Robert Covington and Dario Saric get a roaring round of applause from Sixers fans when they return to Philadelphia as Timberwolves on Tuesday, January 15th.

That should be the bare minimum for a pair of starters from last year’s 52-win playoff team, a squad that finished in the top four of the Eastern Conference for the first time since the 2002-2003 season.

Covington is a unique case, one of the strangest stories I’ve encountered in nine years of working in Philly sports.

Here’s a guy who was undrafted out of Tennessee State, came through the D-League, earned a spot on an NBA roster, and wound up signing a multi-million dollar contract as a 3 and D utility man on a playoff squad. Nine times out of ten, Philadelphia would lap up that kind of underdog story and throw unconditional support behind a player who really worked his ass off to make his dreams come true.

Yet Covington really didn’t receive that type of support from the greater Philadelphia sports community, probably because he was the product of a divisive rebuild which saw a large majority of fans completely tune out the Sixers from 2013 until maybe halfway through the 2016-2017 season.

During that time period, fervent Sam Hinkie supporters were all-in on the Process, watching every single minute of guys like Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, and Jerami Grant while the other 95% of Philadelphia didn’t really give a shit. They just wanted someone to wake them up when the Sixers were good again.

There was always an obvious generational split between younger fans who appreciated the pragmatic approach to tearing down a team that hadn’t achieved diddly poo in 10+ years, vs. an older section of fans (and media) who fundamentally disagreed with the concept of losing on purpose. That dichotomy still exists today via useless arguments over who was right and who was wrong, as if it really fucking matters.

The relevance to Covington is that a vast majority of Sixers fans who came back around last year simply did not watch or understand the developmental years that turned RoCo into a viable swingman on a bona fide playoff squad.

So that’s one thing. People just weren’t watching back then, or they held everything “Process” in contempt, so there’s a natural distrust or disbelief in any player that came through that era based on a general feeling of antipathy towards the entire exercise in general.

Likewise, I PERSONALLY BELIEVE that there also exists an “overcorrection” on the other side of the spectrum, which I’ve written about ad nauseam. The most cultish of Sam Hinkie supporters continually hammered home the idea that Covington was among the NBA’s defensive elite, a wonderful player whose “diamond in the rough” development justified the decision to tank. He made appearances on the live Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast and came to the wedding that took place at Xfinity Live earlier this year. “Rock” Covington was a favorite among Hinkie types who lived and breathed Sixers when they were posting 10 wins and 72 losses, and because he was one of their favorites, casual Sixers fans who dislike Process-supporters also disliked Covington by extension.

RoCo just falls into that gaping chasm between each end of the Sixers fan spectrum. Process types love and defend him as a Hinkie treasure and developmental success story. Covington’s ascendancy helps justify their opinion that all of this shit was worth it. Non-Process types who didn’t watch him play until 2017 think he’s overrated and gets an unreasonable and frothy push from the Hinkie supporters.

It’s kind of like a goofy sporting version of the chicken and egg, isn’t it? Which came first? The RoCo love or RoCo hate?

The other thing is Covington’s skill-set, which I would describe as “optically challenging.” You have all these people coming back on the bandwagon who can easily identify a stone cold shooting night and lackluster 1v1 defending, but they can’t identify a key switch, a well-guarded pick and roll, or overall defensive utility during the run of play.

No, Covington does not defend well in 1v1 on-ball situations. He’s not Patrick Beverly. He’s not a pesky lockdown defender.

He’s a flexible utility man who is capable of switching two through four, stepping up to handle smaller shooting guards and sliding down to handle bigger power forwards in the same possession. He’s a glue guy, a swingman, a utility knife, a prototypical modern day “3 and D” NBA player.

Statistically, this is Covington as a “3 and D” guy:

41 deflections is second in the NBA this year

1.8 steals per game is tied for 7th

1.8 blocks per game is double last year’s average

+1 net rating, third on the Sixers behind Joel Embiid and JJ Redick

39% from three is a better percentage than Redick, Landry Shamet, Dario Saric, and any other qualified Sixer. It’s also better than Kyle Korver, Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, and a bunch of other high-profile NBA shooters.

Covington also finished last year with 200 three pointers, 70 blocks, and 130 steals. Those are the parameters you’re looking for in this type of player. This is exactly what “3 and D” means. You defend, swipe some balls, get your hands in passing lanes, make some switches, and contribute catch and shoot three-point shots on the other end of the floor.

It’s true Cov was streaky, for sure. He had a horrible playoff series against the Celtics and shot 25% from deep while putting up a 0-6 shooting mark in game one and a 0-8 shooting mark in game three. He finished with a much more respectable 37.5 three-point percentage in the Miami series while averaging 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.

That’s what he is. He’s a role player, isn’t he? If you were expecting Robert Covington to put up 22, 10, and 7, you were looking at him the wrong way. He was a glue guy on a team with two superstars and a veteran shooting guard. I think some of the folks that came back on the bandwagon last year expected him to be some elite two-way player in the Paul George and, well, Jimmy Butler mold, but RoCo, isn’t that, which is why they packaged him in a deal to get one of the two guys I just mentioned.

Going back to the “optically challenging” thing, I just think it was harder for the casual fan to identify what he did do well.

On a clip like the one below, it looks like he’s scrambling to defend Tyler Johnson here, but that’s not really the case:

Watch Ersan Ilyasova on that play and you’ll see he starts off in the wrong spot. Stuck in a 2v1 situation, Covington does a nice job of going over the top of two screens to deny an open three pointer, and Johnson eventually settles for a long-range two instead. You’ll take that type of shot any day of the week.

In this clip below, you see Cov’s defensive IQ on display as Indiana tries to get Joel Embiid in a switch on the perimeter:

Covington executes what’s called a “pre-switch” here, as he follows Myles Turner to the perimeter instead to prevent Embiid from getting switched onto a smaller player. Eventually Darren Collison just drives to the rim and gets stuffed.

And Cov actually does this twice in the same possession, once on the Turner screen and then again when Indy audibles to Thad Young instead:

Those are two examples of things that I don’t think the casual fan is necessarily picking out during the course of a game. It’s much easier to identify when Covington bricks a bunch of three pointers or has trouble finishing a contested layup at the rim.

Again, the framing is important here. Robert Covington was a glue guy. He was a utility knife small forward who came through the D-League and had the opportunity to develop his game in a unique situation. Back then (and even now), non-tanking teams just were not/are not finding significant developmental minutes for a fringe player who was not drafted. Rob earned his money by working his ass off to improve his game and evolve into a viable 3 and D NBA player. And his manageable contract allowed Elton Brand to package him in a deal that landed an elite two-way player. They took a guy off the scrap heap, turned him into a good player, and used that value to swing a deal for a top-20 NBA guy.

Covington is a wonderful success story that didn’t get a ton of play in Philadelphia, and I 100% believe the reason for that is because the nature of the Process fractured the Sixers’ fan base into pro-Hinkie and anti-Hinkie crowds, which I think resulted in a lot of people simultaneously overvaluing AND undervaluing Covington. You see similar things with T.J. McConnell, don’t you? Half the fan base loves his heart and hustle while the other half doesn’t even think he belongs on the floor.

Like most things, the truth is probably somewhere is in the middle. Robert Covington was not an elite two-way NBA player, but he was a very good utility man who certainly earned his money here. He was a great dude, to boot, and was always solid with fans and media. I’m very interested to see how he does with Minnesota and how those fans receive him.

What Critics Don’t Understand About Gun Culture

By David French, The Atlantic, Feb. 26, 2018

My wife knew something was amiss when the car blocked our driveway. She was outside our house, playing with our kids on our trampoline, when a car drove slowly down our rural Tennessee street. As it reached our house, it pulled partially in the driveway, and stopped.

A man got out and walked up to my wife and kids. Strangely enough, at his hip was an empty gun holster. She’d never seen him before. She had no idea who he was. He demanded to see me.

I wasn’t there. I was at my office, a 50-minute drive from my house. My wife didn’t have her phone with her. She didn’t have one of our guns with her outside. She was alone with our three children. Even if she had her phone, the police were minutes away. My wife cleverly defused the confrontation before it escalated, but we later learned that this same person had been seen, hours before, slowly driving through the parking lot of our kids’ school.

That wasn’t the first disturbing incident in our lives, nor would it be the last. My wife was almost choked to death in college by a furious boyfriend. In just the last five years, we’ve faced multiple threats--so much so that neighbors have expressed concern for our safety, and theirs. They didn’t want an angry person to show up at their house by mistake. We’ve learned the same lesson that so many others have learned. There are evil men in this world, and sometimes they wish you harm.

Miles’s law states, “Where you stand is based on where you sit.” In other words, your political opinions are shaped by your environment and your experience. We’re products of our place, our time, and our people. Each of these things is far more important to shaping hearts and minds than any think piece, any study, or certainly any tweet. And it strikes me that many millions of Americans don’t truly understand how “gun culture” is built, how the process of first becoming a gun owner, then a concealed-carrier, changes your life.

It starts with the consciousness of a threat. Perhaps not the kind of threat my family has experienced. Some people experience more. Some less. And some people don’t experience a threat at all--but they’re aware of those who do. With the consciousness of a threat comes the awareness of a vulnerability. The police can only protect the people you love in the most limited of circumstances (with those limits growing ever-more-severe the farther you live from a city center.) You want to stand in that gap.

So you take a big step. You walk into a gun store. Unless you’re the kind of person who grew up shooting, this is where you begin your encounter with American gun culture. The first thing you’ll notice--and I’ve seen this without fail--is that the person behind that counter is ready to listen. They want to hear your experience. They’ll share their own. They’ll point you immediately to a potential solution. Often the person behind the counter is a veteran. Often they’re a retired cop. Always they’re well-informed. Always they’re ready to teach.

Your first brush with this new world is positive, but it’s just a start. The next place the responsible adult goes is to the gun range, a place that’s often located in the store. Sometimes you buy the gun and walk straight to the range. You put on eye protection. You put on ear protection. And if you’re honest with yourself, you’re nervous.

But, again, there’s a person beside you. They show you how to load the gun. They teach you the basics of marksmanship. They teach you gun safety. Always treat the gun as if it’s loaded, even if you think you know it’s not. Keep your finger off the trigger unless you intend to fire the weapon. Only point it at objects you intend to shoot.

You do it. You fire. It’s loud, but if the salesman has done his job, then he’s matched you with a gun you can handle. In an instant, the gun is demystified. You buy a box of ammunition and shoot it all. Then you buy another box. For most people there’s an undeniable thrill when they realize that they can actually master so potent a tool.

But something else happens to you, something that’s deeper than the fun of shooting a paper target. Your thought-process starts to change. Yes, if someone tried to break into your house, you know that you’d call 911 and pray for the police to come quickly, but you also start to think of exactly what else you’d do. If you heard that “bump” in the night, how would you protect yourself until the police arrived? You’re surprised at how much safer you feel with the gun in the house.

Next, you realize that you want that sense of safety to travel with you. So you sign up for a concealed-carry permit class. You gather one night with friends and neighbors and spend the next eight hours combining a self-defense class with a dash of world-view training. And when you carry your weapon, you don’t feel intimidated, you feel empowered. In a way that’s tough to explain, the fact that you’re so much less dependent on the state for your personal security and safety makes you feel more “free” than you’ve ever felt before.

And as your worldview changes, you expand your knowledge. You learn that people defend themselves with guns all the time, usually without pulling the trigger. You share the stories and your own experience with your friends, and soon they walk into gun stores. They start their own journey into America’s “gun culture.”

At the end of this process, your life has changed for the better. Your community has expanded to include people you truly like, who’ve perhaps helped you through a tough time in your life, and you treasure these relationships. You feel a sense of burning conviction that you, your family, and your community are safer and freer because you own and carry a gun.

It’s a myth that gun owners despise regulation. Instead, they tend to believe that government regulation should have two purposes--deny guns to the dangerous while protecting rights of access for the law-abiding. The formula is simple: Criminals and the dangerously mentally ill make our nation more violent. Law-abiding gun owners save and protect lives.

Thus the overwhelming support for background checks, the insistence from gun-rights supporters that the government enforce existing laws and lock up violent offenders, and the openness to solutions--like so-called “gun violence restraining orders” that specifically target troubled individuals for intervention.

Progressive policy prescriptions, like assault-weapons bans and bans on large-capacity magazines, are opposed because they’re perceived to have exactly the wrong effect. They’ll present only the most minor of hurdles for the lawless, while the law-abiding experience the law’s full effect. It’s a form of collective punishment for the innocent, a mere annoyance--at best--for the lawless.

It’s against this backdrop of experience and sincere belief that gun-owners experience the extraordinarily toxic rhetoric of the public gun debate. People who want to stop murders are compared to terrorists. People who want to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands are compared to mass shooters. People are told they have “blood on their hands,” when they aspire to have all the courage that Broward County School Resource Officer Scot Peterson so clearly lacked.

Because of the threats against my family--and because I don’t want to be dependent on a sometimes shockingly incompetent government for my family’s security--I carry a weapon. My wife does as well. We’re not scared. We’re prepared, and that sense of preparation is contagious. Confidence is contagious. People want to be empowered. That’s how gun culture is built. Not by the NRA and not by Congress, but by gun owners, one free citizen at a time.

A great reference book for mushroom enthusiasts in the Appalachia area A great reference book for mushroom enthusiasts in the Appalachia area. The book does not cover all the mushrooms in the area, but you'll certainly find a good number of the ones in the book in area, granted you're in the right area at the right time. The pictures in the book are beautiful and certainly something that will the catch the eyes of your guests if it's lying on your coffee table! Go to Amazon

A nice addition for any mushroom enthusiast's library On the positive side, this is an excellent book. It is very well written, has detail oriented descriptions and is chock full of beautiful, clear, close-up photos. This book is certainly worthy of being added to any beginner's or seasoned hunter's library. As a note of caution though, if you get it, I suggest thoroughly checking out the binding to ensure that it's solid and tight. When I got mine, I began opening it as with any new book and the seam of the first few pages literally cracked and broke away from the rest of the binding. This happened in a couple other sections of the book as well. So, I immediately contacted Amazon customer support to explain the problem. The rep right then and there set up a replacement (which is perfect) via 2 day expedited shipping back to me, followed by an emailed return label so I could ship the damaged one back free of charge. Can't beat that kind of service with a stick! Thanks again Amazon! Go to Amazon

Great Guide. Nice Pictures, Detailed information. This is a great book. Pictures are clear and vibrant. Summary section after each mushroom is pretty detailed on look-alikes which I always use with some internet searching to confirm I have the right mushroom. Go to Amazon

This may be the best mushroom book ever written Bought this for my mom for a birthday present. This may be the best mushroom book ever written. Something about William Roody's attention to his descriptions and his photographs puts this book head an shoulders above any other mushroom book I've seen. I am not a biologist or a naturalist like my mom is but she agrees that Roody does a lot of things better than some other big name publishers. Definitely give this one a read. Go to Amazon

Mushrooms of West Virginia and Central Appalachia This book makes an excellent field guide. The pictures are of high quality making them easy to compare to the actual mushroom and are on the same page as the description of the particular mushroom. This is easier and quicker than having to flip back and forth throughout the book comparing pictures and descriptions. The pages are coated giving resistance against dampness, dirt and the elements. A very well organized and easy to use identification book. Very pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone interested in mushroom hunting in Central Appalachia. Go to Amazon

A treasured resource The beautiful photos combined with associated information is a great resource and reference, especially as it applies to my region in Northwest North Carolina. Go to Amazon

Detailed regional field guide of a large and unique area I bought this book after attending a Discover Life in America Mushroom BioQuest in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Several of the mycology graduate students from University of Tennessee had this book and recommended it. I haven't had a chance to study it completely, but my initial reading is very favorable. Good photographs and descriptions of about 400 different species. Go to Amazon

One of best for entire region not just west virginia I live in eastern pennsylvania and it really is an appalacia one I believe because many of the mushrooms I come upon are in this book... This book is probably more knowleldgable, better presented, has more original and better pictures, and is probably one of best book for mushrooms in this region. It is really put together well and all books must be taken with a grain of salt (especially mushrooms).. but this one is salty :) Go to Amazon

Love it. Great book to help for identification Excellent field guide for the Southern Appalachian region Three Stars This is pretty much my go to guide A good read. Lots of information with awesome pictures Great resource! Four Stars It was one of the best gifts ever for her GREAT BOOK ON MUSHROOMS Five Stars

Top 5 Service Dog Breeds Guiding the Blind

Top 5 Service Dog Breeds Guiding the Blind

According to the World Health Organization, there are an estimated 39 million people that are blind worldwide. Of that, an estimated 1.5 million children under the age of 15 are irreversibly blind. Throughout human history, when man had a need, there’s been a dog there to offer a solution. In many cases, guide dogs offer a life changing experience for the sightless among us.

You know a seeing eye dog when you see him. Of all the service dogs, the Seeing-Eye Dog or Guide Dog is probably the most prevalent in the modern lexicon. The guide dog has been a benchmark for service dogs of all types since the foundation of The Seeing Eye school in Nashville, Tennessee in 1929. Since then, a number of breeds have risen to the top of the class, let’s have a look at them.

Let’s get started. But, before we start, take a moment to like and subscribe for more fun, fauna facts.

Here’s a Trivia Question: How much money does it take to breed, train and support a guide dog throughout his working life? See how you do by commenting below ad we’ll give you the answer later in this video.

Well, get to the top guide dogs breeds in a moment, but first, let’s look at how a service dog helps his handler maintain independence despite losing one of our most treasured senses.

Studies show owning a pet or therapy animal offer many positive effects. The guide dog especially comes with a variety of benefits and helps in many ways. He gives a blind person more confidence, friendship, and security. Blind people who use service animals have increased confidence in going about day-to-day life and are comforted by a constant, consistent friend. Companionship offered by a service dog helps reduce anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

Guide dogs make it easier to get around. As a result, people are more willing to go places and feel a sense of independence. Meeting new people and socializing is easier, and people are more likely to offer a blind person help when there is a service animal present. As a bonus, the animals may also lead to increased interaction with other people.

Guide dogs make the experience of the unknown more relaxing. Owners of guide dogs share a special bond with their animal. Many reports claim that the dog is a member of the family, and go to their guide for comfort and support. To them, the dog isn’t seen as a working animal, but more as a loyal friend.

Now let’s get to our top 5 service dog breeds guiding the blind.

1. Labrador Retriever

Across the range of service dogs, the Labrador has emerged as the top contender for most service dog jobs. A Labrador Retriever is a highly versatile dog, with the smarts and curiosity to do a wide variety of things. He is hard-working with an extraordinary intelligence that makes him a good candidate for training. A Lab is also known for his friendliness and sociability.

The Labrador sticks close and remains loyal, but doesn’t have the protective instinct of many other breeds that can make it risky to take them into public areas. In fact, he is friendly with everyone, including strangers, children, and other animals.

As with all service dogs, it is important to remember that these guide dogs are working animals and shouldn’t be distracted, while they are working. You have to remember that no matter how cute and friendly a service dog is that there is a human being who’s life literally depends on him remaining focused.

2. Golden Retriever

Like the Lab, the Golden Retriever is also highly intelligent and easy to train for a wide variety of commands and tasks, he is particularly obedient, he enjoys having a job and loves completing challenges. He is also noted for getting along well with children and other animals.

An attribute that is often cited as making the Golden Retriever stand out from the pack is his outstanding ability to tune into the needs of his two-legged companion, correcting his guiding style to accommodate even the slightest discomfort, such as his handler flinching when rubbing against a branch.

What traits are we looking for in a guide dog? A guide dog must remain focused on his tasks, must be intelligent and obey commands, must be large enough to lead his companion while wearing a harness, and should ideally fit comfortably on public transportation and beneath tables in restaurants and must be healthy with enough stamina to do his job, all this while remaining social and friendly.

3. Goldador

Goldador (Golden Retriever + Labrador Retriever)

The Goldador is a Golden Retriever-Labrador Retriever Mix. He is currently one of the most used breeds for guide dog work. If you have one great dog and mix it with another great dog, chances are you’ll get an even greater dog. And in the case of the Goldador, that’s exactly what you get.

According to the UK-based Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, “Historically the Golden Retriever crossed with the Labrador has produced the most successful guide dog of all, combining many of the great traits of both breeds.”

4. German Shepherd Dog

Originally guide dogs were primarily German Shepherds. They were selected because they were widely available after World War I, they were being very well bred to work, could work very long hours, were easy to train, and were good at working out problems or situations for which they were not trained.

Later most programs switched to Labrador Retrievers because the German Shepherds were not suited for many clients. Shepherds require confident owners with some skill at training and handling dogs. This is not to say he’s still not in use. He is still one of the most highly intelligent breeds around and for the right person is one of the best breeds for the job of a guide dog.

Here’s the answer to your trivia question: It costs around $64,000 US to breed, train and support a guide dog throughout the working life of these highly trained dogs, according to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. It can take up to two years of training for each dog, says the Guide Dogs of America.

5. Labradoodle

We are quite fond of the Labradoodle. You take all the great qualities that make the Lab an excellent service dog, add the intelligence and hypoallergenic nature of the Poodle and you get an A-Class Guide dog that won’t leave his sightless companion with watery eyes and sneezing fits.

Originally developed to be hypoallergenic guide dogs, the first planned crosses of Poodles and Labrador Retrievers were arranged by the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia. The result was a smart and sociable dog who not only possessed a nature appropriate for a guide dog but also had a low-shedding coat.

Why is he down here at number 5? As a hybrid, the breed has not yet achieved consistent results in coat or temperament, but he’s getting there. In the future, it’s highly likely that he’ll become the de facto Guide Dog.
