Atheist Group Backs Parents Who Are Upset School Wants To Take Kids To See Charlie Brown Christmas At Church
This 1965 cartoon is too "extreme" for today's progressives.
I detest militant atheists but there is no reason Christmas should be celebrated in public schools or Yom Kippur or Satan's birthday, or Ramadan.
Religious holidays are wonderful. Celebrate them at home in church or temple but not in the public schools.
Well, what's their problem? I personally have no problem attending other religions services respectfully, seeing what they're all about then walk home still the same religion afterwards. I don't see why these atheists can't at least do the same. Combine that with the fact that I grew up with an atheist Dad, and still chose Christianity. There's not a threat to seeing something related to other religions, in fact, it's a good opportunity to understand and discuss afterwards.
They need to have the stigma of "murdering atheists" attached to them.
Fire at will.
Guess you never read George Washington or Samuel Adams words.
Shove your secularist point of view and comparisons with satan.
I'll not post more lest I get banned for the opinion I hold of your insulting diatribe.
Go to Du fool.
Ah , PEANUTS !!!!!
This country is going to hell in a hand basket with each passing day. These jackasses are taking over the country..first they make Santa Monica take down the Nativity scene and now this..how the hell are these cockroaches aloud to have so much power
That reason is called the First Amendment.
(Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,) or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
You two are the best FR has to offer.
Kudos and MERRY CHRISTmas to you!
We grew up celebrating them in school. What has changed?
Ahhhhh....Little Rock.....Home of the "Bill Clinton Adultery Tour". Water available at all 234 stops!
Thank you so much I appreciate that..MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone here, and Happy Chanukkah to my Jewish friends(I'm Jewish but I love Christmas) in fact, during the holiday season I always say "Merry Christmas" I don't say "Happy Holidays" that's something that liberals want people to say I refuse to say it
They are emboldened now that the marxist in chief has stolen the election, no more mister nice guy here, this is war."
I'm with you. This crap should have been slapped down right at the beginning. As it is, people humored it, and now they have the upper hand.
God bless you, Sarah Barracuda! Happy Chanukkah to you (even though it's early).
May the Great I Am bless you and your family.
Should be taking the kids to see "Charlie Brown joins jihad". Then nobody would have uttered a word of protest.
Bunch of Grinches....
Well if Christmas is to be celebrated in public school then I hope you won't object to your child also celebrating a few major Hindu, Wiccan, Muslim, and Voodoo holy days as well.
Scenario. Kid comes home from school. Wow mom look at the picture I drew today. See, this is the Voodoo priestess praying to the goddess. Uh huh. We learned all about it cause today is a big holy day for the religion of Voodoo.
And we even had like pretend magic potions to drink and we danced all around too. It was fun mom!
Scenario two. Hi dad I had fun at school today. Today is an Islamic holiday. So instead of Arithmetic we saw cartoon of this kid who went on a pilgrimage to this place were thousands of Muslims pray to the Holy Rock. I prayed to the rock too but I was pretending.....kinda like.
Merry Christmas to you(Even though its early :-) and have a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving
That's what I liked about the movie The Princess and the Frog. It drove home in no uncertain terms that messing with Voodoo was evil and destructive.
What has changed? We should not have been celebrating Christmas in the public schools in the first place, What about the Jewish kids, And the Jehovah's Witness? Were their beliefs celebrated?
Those were the days of Christian privilege. Yes "privilege" is the proper description. Those days are fading.
Don't get me wrong. I will fight to the death for religious freedom. But taxpayer money should not be spent for the promotion of ANY religion. This in my mind protects Christian kids from the above scenarios. YOUR kids should learn about their faith from YOU or at church. Your job is to see to it. It is not the job of the public schools to foster religion of any kind.
Or do; what many parents feel inclined to do; if not forced; when their values clash with those proscribed by public education 'group think'. Go the full nine yards and Home School. Whereby; you are FREE, totally; to protect your child's atheism from 'undo' influences/covert 'values'; etc.; as might be found in a Charlie Brown Christmas. . .viewed in a Church; yet.
Too bad; but they should be thanking the Church; for teaching the very tolerance they demand and get from 'non-atheists; versus that which they offer to those 'Faithful'; whom they refuse, by turn; to tolerate.
Where do these people think 'Value' and Virtue (and yes, that virtue of 'Tolerance') came from? An athiest?
I feel so blessed that I grew up when I did.
You said the Pledge Of Allegiance. You prayed. You celebrated holidays. No controversy.
I recently read that certain groups deemed Charlie Brown as too violent. Alrighty then. Let's look at what they watch now.
One crazy atheist got rid of prayer in public schools. My teachers read the Bible to us each morning and we prayed. We pledged allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. We sang God Bless America. We didn't need "resource officers" (cops) in our schools. We didn't have metal detectors. Not one girl in my high school ended up pregnant. Now we have day care centers in high schools for students' babies. My church started by holding services in my elementary school on Sundays. We had fish on Fridays at school for the Catholic kids and no one complained.
It is people like you who have helped destroy America with your "fairness" crap. America was built by Christians on Christian values! You can't change the facts.
But Obama was right, wasn't he. America is no longer a Christian nation. And it shows!
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
I agree w/ you completely! I am an agnostic, but I remember the charm of our Christmas pageants in school and in elementary school I was in the choir & we would sing "Let There be Peace on Earth" & other songs. We had an innocence back then.
I would not give it back for anything. I have to say "A Charlie Brown Christmas" makes me cry like a baby. My husband got me the complete Charlie Brown holiday DVD gift box a few years ago.
And that is PRECISELY where I cry when I watch it.
I spent of today helping a friend decorate for "Christmas" in her home and we both agreed that this is one of the most wonderful time of the year! Merry Christmas to my dear FR friends!
Please remember the reason for the season!
God Bless America !
Thank you. :)
You gotta admit that the children's exposure to world religions would teach them some morality (except islam) and would certainly consume all or most of their classroom time thus depriving them of the hideous socialist indoctrination they are currently getting.
Children shouldn't be pulled out of school to go to a church and view an overtly religious program.
Here's how I see it. If a child wants to pray over her lunch at school during lunch hour, say a Catholic making the sign of the cross and quietly praying. That is a first amendment right. But that is entirely different from taking a whole class to a movie that has for it's theme a Christian Holy Day. They need to be learning to read, write and spell, not having parties.
You take your kid to that movie! You teach your child about Christ and Christmas. That is Your job not a public school teachers job.
I feel sorry for the kids today, they do not realize what it was like in my generation growing up in the 50's and 60's.... Celebrating Christmas in school and a nativity scene on the school property and not even being aware that some people might be offended! Where has our Christian nation gone?
Merry Christmas to all! May God Bless American again soon....
Oh, you want them to get an education!
You'd have to send them to a Catholic school for that.
Wonderful post.
When I was a kid we learned about Christmas in school. It didn't harm anyone. It was my favorite time of year (I hated school) and I wasn't raised to believe in God and my parents never thought it a terrible thing that I was taught about Christmas.
These atheists are fiends in human form.
Here You Go
It's Jihad Farley Towne
Would that we could again have a country in which such a cartoon could be broadcast again on a major network, in prime time, and there wouldn't be an uproar over it.
Go bad to the KOS and DU dummies
FR is a site for God, Country and Constitution.
PS, luv ya lj....gonna look up " A Charlie Brown Christmas" and watch it on the tube~
From Wikipedia
Network executives were not happy with several aspects of the show, forcing Schulz to wage some serious battles to preserve his vision. The executives didnt want to have Linus reciting the story of the birth of Christ from the Gospel of Luke; the network orthodoxy of the time assumed that viewers would not want to sit through passages of the King James Version of the Bible. But Schulz was adamant about keeping this scene in, remarking that If we dont tell the true meaning of Christmas, who will?
I did not have a happy childhood but I remember with extreme fondness the every Christmas watching of "Amahl and the Night Visitors". Touched my heart deeply. I haven't seen it in decades, never saw the Charlie Brown one.
Even doing the Christmas decorations at school was such a happy time for me, all other memories of school (other than the last day before summar vacation) were so unpleasant. I had to be dragged to school...

There is no such thing as "values neutral". And by NOT mentioning Christmas, it is a purposeful action. It is not neutral. How about kids learning about Christmas and Hanukkah. What's wrong with that? And no wiccan crap, either. (pardon language, my tolerance went away.)

Wouldn't it be less expensive to rent the DVD?
Until very recently no one ever thought there was anything wrong with mention of Christmas or God in public schools. Only because of secular humanism/marxism is God taken out of schools. And since 85% or more of the US population celebrates Christmas, I don't see why dragging in Satan and Ramadan is relevant. Actually Ramadan and other Islmic crap is shoved down kids' throats in schools all over, and atheists never say a word.
Odd how secular leftists luv Islam. I guess the dominance, violence and hatred just naturally attract them.
Oh, criminy! Ir as the article shows, Good Grief! Can we get Linus to use his blanket as a sling so he can knock out these bozos and feed them to the Kite Eating Tree. Better yet, let Snoopy use them for target practice in his Sopwith Camel. Good Grief!

"I agree with those who said projects with glass, glitter, etc., are adults-only projects. I would also add to the list any project that involves a lengthy set of instructions or takes a long time to complete, as I think kids would just get frustrated and impatient."
"I can not even tell you how cute these penguins are. I love them. Reminds me of Happy Feet an that is just what I will make them. So adorable and so simple to make using a water bottle and a sock. Now how many ones do I have that do not have mates and that hat gives the penguin some personality. How about making a few and changing them a little and making your own Happy Feet collection foe a mantel or centerpiece. How cute will that be. Great tutorial."
"A cute colorful wreath for getting in the spring mood. Soft pastels to remind us of the up coming beautiful spring days with a cute fun and easy project that can be done with the whole family inside or out on the patio enjoying the beautiful weather. So inexpensive and a great idea to use the food colors to paint the ends and you can even teach kids how colors mixed together make different colors. You can get creative with this wreath by using the colored cupcake liners, glitter or even embellishments. Super tutorial and a great spring break project. Let's see some pictures of creative minds."
"Home decor pieces, such as furniture crafts or complex wall art. Not for kids because of skill level and also because they probably wouldn't care about the finished project!"
"I love it. It is simple once you get the idea. And think how versatile this pattern would be. You can dress them up by using glitter beads or switch colors for the seasons. Green and red at Christmas, pink or purple for Easter, brown and orange for thanksgiving and so on. I am going to have to experiment a little with them."

Preparing for a run in warm conditions
In preparation for potentially warm conditions on race day we recommend that all participants in the Blackmores Half Marathon and Blackmores Sydney Marathon do some regular training in the middle of the day from now until event day to acclimatise as best as possible. We also recommend that you plan now for pre-event and on day hydration strategies. We recommend that you increase your intake of fluids substantially in the three days prior to event day.
On race day, we recommend that you drink adequate fluids before your scheduled start time. There will be water available at the start venue, but would suggest that you bring your own water bottle to ensure you can keep hydrated right up until start time. On course, you should stop and drink as much as you can at every single aid station. Even if it means you will get a slower time, it is far better that you stay hydrated and in the long run this will provide a better result.
Do not drink alcohol in the days leading up to the event and reduce intake of caffeine, particularly on race day as this could contribute to dehydration. If you feel the slightest bit dehydrated, dizzy, or unwell during the event – DO NOT PUSH THROUGH, THIS IS NOT THE OLYMPICS, IT'S A FUN RUN – STOP, drink, find first aid help!
Run for a Cause and run for Free
To get your entry fee refunded simply hit your individual event target. It's easy!
Money raised so far...

The Emery County Public Lands Council hosted four public information meetings to allow interested citizens to comment on the Emery County Land Use Bill.
Meetings were conducted in Huntington, Castle Dale, Ferron and Green River. Public lands director Ray Petersen along with public lands council members attended the meetings to answer any questions and concerns from the public.
The meetings weren't heavily attended, but according to Petersen those attending mainly voiced their support of the bill. At the Huntington meeting Rainer Huck, ATV enthusiast expressed his sentiment that the county shouldn't offer up any wilderness without receiving something in return. He said he is opposed to wilderness.
Petersen said the lands council will accept comments on the public land use bill until Aug. 1. He asked the public to ask themselves the question, "If the land use bill was implemented tomorrow, how would it affect you. Positively, negatively or not at all and to build your comments around that question."
The lands council had numerous maps spread out for the public to look at and the boundaries were outlined. The bill includes wilderness designation for the wilderness study areas now in place with boundary perfections. The map included National Conservation areas which are areas afforded more protection and these will be governed by an advisory council made up of county citizens and agency personnel as well as county government.
The area surrounding Goblin Valley state park is included in the NCA. Park officials believe this will have a positive impact and will help enhance the recreational qualities around Goblin Valley and in particular the Wild Horse Mesa area.
It was also mentioned that areas in the San Rafael which include loops for OHV travel makes sense. One area of concern mentioned by grazers is the question of what will happen with the School and Institutional Trustlands within the wilderness and NCA areas. Some of the grazers hold SITLA permits which are good for 10 year increments. SITLA has been working on identifying areas where these blocks of SITLA lands could be traded for. SITLA looks for exchange lands which are of comparable value to the land being traded out. The issue of the trade out lands is very important to the grazers because this is their livelihood in being able to graze on public lands.
Sen. Mike Lee has requested that Emery County take the land use bill before the state legislature for their approval before it is submitted to Washington. The county started this process with the state in June when they met with the Natural Resources Committee. A quorum wasn't present at that meeting so no decisions were made by the committee regarding the land use bill. There were both positive and negative statements about the process Emery County has embarked on by the committee members. Rep. Christine Watkins spoke in favor of the land use bill Emery County would like to present to Congress at the soonest possible time. Emery County officials will again meet with the Natural Resources Committee in the near future to present information about the land use bill and move forward with the state approval process.

Fake Bake
Fake Bake Self Tanning Lotion
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- Exclusive, patented formula contains penetrants that bond with your skins own pigment
- Formulated to transport DHA, the active tanning ingredient, to deepen layers of skin
- When used as directed, color stays for days without fading
- Moisture-rich formula that dramatically softens skin
- Results are more intense and natural looking than anything else on the market
- About the brand
Fake Bake is a new breakthrough in self-tanning, guaranteed to satisfy even the palest skin tones!
Deionized Water, Dihydroxyacetone, ethoxydiglycol, Caprylic/Capric Trigluceride, Octyl Palmitate, Propylene Glycol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Dicaprylyl Maleate, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Erythrulose, Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, PPG-5 Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Aloe Vera, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 80, PVP, Eicosene Copolymer, Dimethicone, Diazolidinyl Urea, Panthenol, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Trisodium Deta, Propylparaben, Red 40 (Cl 16035), Yellow 6 (Cl 15985), Blue 1 (Cl 42090), Yellow 5 (Cl 19140)
This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn. Repeated exposure of unprotected skin while tanning may increase your risk of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects to the skin even if you do not burn.
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES. Use small amounts and apply on clean skin. Lightly glaze over hands and feet, bending elbows and knees when applying. Allow to dry before going to bed. Can be used on face. Can be applied several nights in a row to achieve desired tan. Apply only once a week, however, you determine if more applications are necessary for deeper tan. If you have dry skin, moisturize before applying tanning product for a longer-lasting smooth tone for your newly tanned skin.
Fake Bake has conquered the quest for a perfect tan that doesn't damage your health. Formulas are preservative-free and contain botanically extracted ingredients, which means no streaking or unpleasant odors and they're gentle enough for sensitive skin. Fake Bake products hydrate and protect your body without clogging pores so you can enjoy a luxurious experience and rich looking tan that's natural and safe.
Awesome StuffI purchased the self set of 3. I absolutely love this stuff! I have tried LOTS of other self tannners and they have turned me orange or dryes my skin out and as it wears off looks like you have a skin disease. This stuff doesnt do that at all, it looks just like a natural tan. I had been going to a tanning bed an quit and have been using this and no one can tell the diffrence. My best friend thought I was still tanning! I did have an alergic reaction the the exfoliate cleanser but no problems with the dry oil or self tanner. By far the BEST I have ever purchased so worth every penny!Apr 25, 2009Jessica / Missouri

Great Results, Hard Application.Okay, well I read a lot of negative reviews on here, and I was apprehensive at first. But after a half-hour of application (pain in the butt) and an hour or so of drying time, I went to bed on a towel and woke up the next morning, took a shower and I was amazed. I had gotten the stuff on my hands but a little scrubbing got them to come out great. I now look like all the other people who go to tanning beds, but without the $30 for 100 minutes thing. Great product!Apr 23, 2009Cheray / Vancouver, BC

I Love ItOf course, like anything, there is good and bad about it. Im Italian and my boyfriend is too, and he was making fun of me saying how pale I was because I didnt get a chance to go tanning lately, so I got fed up and got this. Im surprised to see so many people saying it was messy. I think I put on more than usual. You DEFINITELY have to wear gloves with it, but it says so on the bottle, so anyone who said their hands are black..well its their own fault. I used big globs onto the gloves and mixed it in the gloves first to get it all over them, then did section by section. It will dry quickly if you rub the crap out of it. You wont get streaks if you go in circles, like hmm, maybe what the bottle tells you to do? Just put it on in circles and sections and youll be fine. I put it on right before going bowling in white shorts, and it did get some color on the inside of the shorts, but I threw them in the washer and they were just fine! The thing i hate about it is that it says it will last 50% longer than a usual tan..but it doesnt...dont go swimming with it. It comes off in the shower and doesnt seem to stick to your skin, but if you reapply every day it will be the best tan you have ever had. It looks like I spent an entire day in the tanning bed, I love it. In a way you control how dark your tan is; the bigger the glob on your hand, the darker the tan. That is, if you are going section by section. And by section like.. leg, thigh, neck, chest, face, lower arm, etc. That way is the best to go. I havent had a problem with it getting on my bed sheets. Like i said, rub it in really really good and it will be fine. Everyone at work was asking me if Ive been tanning a lot lately. Its noticeable the first time you use it. I did have a problem at work today though, I was back by the dishes and my arms went in water and it started taking my tan off in spots.. but i just wet the whole thing and wiped them down. It still had a tan though, so no one noticed. Just try it and see how you like it. I usually have a dark complection, but lately I havent, until I used this. Now my boyfriend is jealous because Im tanner and hes a landscapper! Hah, he still doesnt know I have it. I just love the long brown hair and dark tan. Gotta stick to my Italian heritage!Mar 13, 2009Bridgett / Pennsylvania

Don't Waste Your Money !!!!I wanted to buy a product for a long lasting tan...after reading that fake bake would last for about 7 days i give it a try. First it is extremly messy...you have to reapplied to make the tan even... like they say i went to bed, the next day took a shower and here goes my tan, i had just a little bit of color left... i give another try like they suggest to do it 3 days in the row, same thing the tan doesnt stay on ????? and i have streak all over...i try the spray same thing.... i wish i could get my money back....you get a good tan but you can never shower or go swimming...!!!and my towels are completly stain..Aug 20, 2008Jade / California

Best Self TannerI have used many many self tanners and Fake Bake is the best I have ever used! I use gloves to put it on and I never get streaks, it drys in less then twenty minutes if used correctly. A little goes a long way! If it gets on your clothing it washes out and does not stain.Jun 28, 2008Linda

The Best!I am a natural blonde with blue eyes and the fair skin you can see blue veins through. Needless to say I am always looking for some color without the damaging rays of the sun. Fake Bake is AWESOME! I mixed it with Loreal sublime bronze gradual lotion for medium tones (even though Im not medium) and applied 3 nights in a row. The first morning after a nighttime application, I had a subtle glow. The second morning after my second application, I was pretty tan. My third morning, I was dark! When applying, I added a bit more of the lotion than the Fake bake, maybe a 2 parts lotion to 1 part fake bake. I also do an extra coat on just my legs, because they seem to take less color. I would absolutely say to USE GLOVES. Mine break because I blend so much, so I go through about 3 pair, but trust me, your hands will be black if you dont. Also, after you shower each morning, put a regular body lotion on. This keeps your skin moisturized and from flaking the color off. For us paleys I wouldnt recommend doing more than 3 nights in a row for a base color, then just touch up once a week from there. Hooray for no more see-through skin!Jun 26, 2008Erin / Tacoma, WA

It Works Like Magic!Ive been using this product for about 3 weeks now and its amazing! My mother complains about the smell, Im a nurse, so Im used to certain smells, so its the ingredients they put it that reacts to create that smell. Anyway, the first week, I learned you SHOULD use gloves, cause under my nails, it looked like I had been digging in the garden, but my tan was nice. To get that perfect tan, massage in like you do with lotion, evenly, in circles till it blends in and you dont see it all streaky, thats one reason why so many of the reviews Ive read said streaky, which is why I avoided doing the applying in an up and down motion. Another tip about using this product is if you want a dark tan your first time, apply it twice that week and leave it on till its completely dry or itll all come off on your clothes and stain em, because of the coloring they put into the product. I also found out leaving on your tan for as long as 10-15 hours and doing it the night before your first week, leaves your skin a little darker, because the tan really gets soaked into your skin and then applying it again after you shower, I never get tan, especially on my legs, so I have to always apply it 3-4 times a week on my legs to get that deep tan look. My aunt the other day thought Ive been outside tanning and was surprised to know I used this product! So if you follow the directions and google for tips on how to apply it better and if you use what Ive suggested, you should be fine and look like you just came from the beach. Oh for those that got sunburn and start to peel after they applied this, just keep applying or exfoliate till your not peeling, its the only way for it to keep your tan going.Jun 25, 2008Rhiannin / Orange County, New York

Fake Bake The Good And The Bad!i wanted a spray tan for my night out!Okay so i had a fake bake spray tan at my local tanning salon and just to be careful i had a test run first! i didnt exfoliate before because i didnt have time but the results were okay.... ( abit hot and miss on the legs though)! no side effects and it looked lovely for about 2 days because i didnt showa... but as soon as i got in the showa it was basically gone with only a little left on my arms and chest!next week i went ready for my nyt owt! this tym i had exfoliated.i got my spray tan and everything was ok....until 2days after! i washed the tan when i was ment too patting it dry and rubbing in moisturiser but my skin went FLAKY like in a rash all over my neck and face, it wasnt too visble but it looked like i cudnt apply makeup!I WILL NOT GET IT DUN AGAIN USE ST.TROPEZ IT IS FAR BETTER :)May 20, 2008Fake Bake / Doncaster

Live By Fake Bakei was actually really shocked to read all the negative reviews!!! the first time i used it, i applied ab an hour before bed for three nights in a row. granted when i woke the first morning after, i was horrified! i looked like i hadnt showered in weeks, and had dirt ground into my skin. but the worries washed away in the shower. i didnt turn orange in the direct sunlight, and i didnt have streaks. maybe it just does that to certain skin types? it defintely took more than one application, being as that most the color DID wash off in the shower, so thats why i used it three nights in a row and i turned out a beautiful brown color and had people asking me all night what i used and where they can get it. to the person who had orange hands... gloves, gloves, gloves! ive never once screwed up my hands while using gloves, and i even use the cheap medical gloves they use at the dentists. the smell smelt like fake tanner- but whats it matter, youre not supposed to wear it out the second you apply it, you have to wash it off first. and my sheets have never been ruined, let it dry before getting into bed... yes, it takes a while to dry and that is in my opinion the only drawback. maybe run a few laps around the backyard... haha!! only kidding!!! ive had to use the cooling option on my hair dryer once when i was in a hurry. and i dont find it greasy and it didnt make my skin dry... if anything it was like applying regular lotion. i would DEFINITELY recommend this to anyone.Apr 24, 2008Gracie

Not So Great Fake BakeIve been using self tanners for 3 or 4 yrs now and have tried nearly every " drug store " brand out there. I got excited to try Fake Bake for the first time only to be disappointed !!I bought 3 different types of Fake Bake online two weeks ago , First trying the regular Fake Bake lotion, it went on extremely dark , never did seem to dry completly and when i went to take a shower the next morning it seemed as though all the product had washed off leaving me w/ little to NO tan /color what so ever . I waited a few days then decided to try the Fake Bake Extreme Gel which btw dries extremely fast so you got to be quick when applying it .. but i got the same results NADA !! I waited another 3 days and decided to try the Extreme Gel again and again NOTHING .. I used as directed but Fake Bake so far hasnt impressed me , I did get a hint of color but it was a bit orangy :(I got the mousse which i havent tried yet .. I guess ill try it then let ya know how it works !!Apr 15, 2008Kristy / Duncan , South Carolina

I never say this, but . . .
"Size down! I am a size 9 - have been since about 13. I always buy a nine and it always fits in the length. But, not true with this shoe. I bought it online and loved how beautiful it looked. It's even prettier in person. But it is far too long. I was bummed so I returned it for an 8.5. It fits like a dream now. I am the person who always rolls my eyes when someone says size down in a review and order my normal size without hesitation. So, trust me when I say, size down. Otherwise, super cute heel and so very stylish."

Perfect for Prom!
"I ordered these shoes for my daughter's prom coming up. The gorgeous lace really goes beautifully with the lace corset on her dress, and the background color of the shoe blends with her skin tone perfectly. I'm a little nervous to send her out the door in these shoes. They complete her look perfectly."

Dear Editor:
Hello my name is Jax Gardner, a scout from Cleveland Second ward troop #385, working for my communications merit badge.
My dad is working with the Bureau of Reclamation trying to secure money from the Colorado Salinity Forum to develop an irrigation system on the Cottonwood Creek drainage. This would help remove a lot of salt from the Colorado River, which would help all the people in California have better drinking water. My dad says "Our system is one of the most highly qualified for salinity money, the Bureau has promised some money since March but will not give it to us.
What can we do?

Comments: This is a great stick. I love white sticks. They are nice and flashy, but unfortunately the paint comes off easily. This stick is very light and the flex is amazing. You can really get a lot of whip off your shot. Do not hesitate to but this stick. Thanks IW!
From: Logan, CA
Comments: I love this stick because it has the traditional feel to it
with more square corners. The flex is great, and hasn't worn out and
lost its flex (yet). I have an Iginla curve and this is now my absolute
favorite curve because I can have a hard and accurate shot. this stick
is also the lightest stick i have ever played with.
From: Justin
Comments: I recently bought this stick. Senior full size, 75 flex, camilleri curve. Its the best stick ive botten.my slap shots are the best , so are my wrist shots. My scoring record has improved a whole lot since i got this stick. Its a really light stick. I would recommend this stick to everyone .
From: Pedro
Comments: Bought this stick for my son back in Aug. for his birthday He loved this this stick. I say loved as it lasted only 10 games this season. As a first year midget player his goal production was up, his stick handling improved, including toe drags and the like and general fluidity in his puck carrying skills. This coming from a Warrior Dynasty which he still likes his shoot with, but watching him executing roof shots in tight on the backhand (his favorite) in games with more consistency, you'd have to believe the feel of the stick contributed. Just too bad at it's price point it won't be replaced anytime soon. So durability I'd say is Easton's achillies heel. His friend popped his RS just the week before. Too fragile, one good hack and it cracked and blew up moments later. Thanks Easton for leaving kids broken hearted when you fail them... and our bank accounts.
From: J
Comments: Best way I can explain it is that it has the feel of a wood stick, but super light. Awesome feel of the puck receiving passes and shooting. Slap shot accuracy improved and more consistent as well. I have used the S19 for the last 2 years, and this stick feels just as light. Way to go Easton, you really delivered on this one!
From: Eric
Comments: Has a solid feel of a wood stick, but super lite. Great balance, and feel for the puck. All shot types seem more accurate and consistant. The puck just explodes off the blade, but cushions the passes received. Dream come true! Easton has really done it with this one. My S19's have moved to the bench waiting for their next shift.

Luck/Colts not a pushover
by Howard Simon
posted Aug 13 2012 12:00AM
As you go through the Bills schedule, trying to figure out which games are wins and which are losses, I'll bet you don't spend much time thinking about the November 25
contest at Indianapolis.
You probably think "win" before you even finish saying "Indianapolis" to yourself.
You might want to leave a little more time to mull that one over. I'm probably violating the cardinal rule of putting too much stock in a pre-season game but that "lock" over the Colts doesn't seem as certain after watching the NFL debut of Andrew Luck.
I, like many others, was thoroughly impressed by his college career but figured there would be some growing pains in the pros.
Luck not only comes in with the "can't miss" label and the pressure of being the number one overall pick in the draft but he also steps into humungous shoes left behind by future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning.
Despite that, the Stanford product looked like a proven veteran during his nearly one half of football against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Cool, calm, in charge and under control are just some of the words that describe his performance.
If his career lives up to its hype, people will say you could tell from the start that Luck was bound for stardom. How many rookie quarterbacks throw a touchdown pass on their very first play?
Lets not go overboard though. Luck threw a 5 yard screen pass and Donald Brown did most of the work on the 63 yard scoring play.
But Luck led two other scoring drives and executed the offense almost flawlessly. A stark contrast to the performance of the Bills offense against Washington.
Luck showed a strong pocket presence but when flushed out by blitzes, he remained calm and made strong, accurate throws on the run. He wasn't flustered by any blitzes or pressure from the Rams.
Whether it was throwing to his left, right, down the middle or outside the numbers, Luck displayed ability to make all the throws. On one touchdown pass he looked down the middle to help freeze the safety, then turned to his right and threw a strike to the corner of the end zone.
He was 10 of 16 for 188 yards and two TD passes but his numbers should have been better since at least two of those incompletions were drops.
I thought Robert Griffin III looked good against the Bills but Luck looked much better facing the Rams although he got more snaps, threw the ball more often and played against what should be the weaker of the two defenses.
Like I said, it made me think twice about the game with the Colts who might actually flirt with .500 when you think about the division they play in and when you take into account their schedule.
In case you are worried about Luck and the Colts, I do have some good news for you. The Rams first string defense was shredded and the offensive line still can't keep Sam Bradford from getting hit so go ahead and lock in that win on December 9

Skip to comments.Pope Francis Warns Church Could Become 'Compassionate NGO'
Posted on 03/14/2013 1:31:23 PM PDT by marshmallow
Pope Francis has warned the Catholic Church would become "a compassionate NGO" without spiritual renewal.
In a Sistine Chapel Mass with cardinals on his first day as Church leader, the pontiff said: "If we do not confess to Christ, what would we be?
"We would end up a compassionate NGO. What would happen would be like when children make sand castles and then it all falls down."
Francis is the first Latin American - and the first Jesuit - Pope.
The BBC's David Willey, in Rome, says the 76-year-old has already been swift to stamp his style on the papacy.
Pope Francis is regarded as a doctrinal conservative, but he is also seen as a potential force for reform of the Vatican bureaucracy, analysts say.
Shunned special car
On Wednesday night, Pope Francis endeared himself to the crowds in St Peter's Square - and underlined his reputation for humility - when he asked them to bless him before blessing them in return from the balcony of the basilica.
The Vatican's account of his first hours in the top job on Thursday also emphasised Pope Francis's humility, describing how he shunned a special car and security detail provided to take him to the Vatican, travelling instead on a bus with the other cardinals.
Following his first outing as pope to the Rome basilica on Thursday, Francis went back to the clergy house in a city centre side street where he had been staying ahead of the conclave that elected him on Wednesday.
"He packed his bags and then he went to pay the bill for his room so as to set a good example," said Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi.
He also broke tradition by remaining standing to receive cardinals' acts of homage after his election, instead of sitting in the papal......

At the risk of being accused of spam, I intend to post the entire text of his (brief) homily ... that we may compare it to the reporting offered by various media outlets.
Here it is:
In these three readings I see that there is something in common: it is movement. In the first reading, movement is the journey [itself]; in the second reading, movement is in the up-building of the Church. In the third, in the Gospel, the movement is in [the act of] profession: walking, building, professing.
Walking: the House of Jacob. O house of Jacob, Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord. This is the first thing God said to Abraham: Walk in my presence and be blameless. Walking: our life is a journey and when we stop, there is something wrong. Walking always, in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, seeking to live with that blamelessness, which God asks of Abraham, in his promise.
Building: to build the Church. There is talk of stones: stones have consistency, but [the stones spoken of are] living stones, stones anointed by the Holy Spirit. Build up the Church, the Bride of Christ, the cornerstone of which is the same Lord. With [every] movement in our lives, let us build!
Third, professing: we can walk as much we want, we can build many things, but if we do not confess Jesus Christ, nothing will avail. We will become a pitiful NGO, but not the Church, the Bride of Christ. When one does not walk, one stalls. When one does not built on solid rocks, what happens? What happens is what happens to children on the beach when they make sandcastles: everything collapses, it is without consistency. When one does not profess Jesus Christ - I recall the phrase of Leon Bloy Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil. When one does not profess Jesus Christ, one professes the worldliness of the devil.
Walking, building-constructing, professing: the thing, however, is not so easy, because in walking, in building, in professing, there are sometimes shake-ups - there are movements that are not part of the path: there are movements that pull us back.
This Gospel continues with a special situation. The same Peter who confessed Jesus Christ, says, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. I will follow you, but let us not speak of the Cross. This has nothing to do with it. He says, Ill follow you on other ways, that do not include the Cross. When we walk without the Cross, when we build without the Cross, and when we profess Christ without the Cross, we are not disciples of the Lord. We are worldly, we are bishops, priests, cardinals, Popes, but not disciples of the Lord.
I would like that all of us, after these days of grace, might have the courage - the courage - to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Cross of the Lord: to build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified. In this way, the Church will go forward.
My hope for all of us is that the Holy Spirit, that the prayer of Our Lady, our Mother, might grant us this grace: to walk, to build, to profess Jesus Christ Crucified. So be it.
Non Governmental Organization
Non-Governmental Organization. He was basically saying, with morals, with our Catholic teachings, the Catholic Church is nothing more than an advocacy.
Non-Governmental Organization. An example would be a body that is a member of the United Nations, but not a country. IIRC, they have non-voting status.
No offense, but is anybody else concerned about him being a Jesuit?
Aren't the Jesuits the "secret agents" of the church.
Reminds me of a former KGB officer getting control of the newly democratic Russia. Again, no offense, just curious.
Yeah ... he's probably an albino monk assassin in disguise.
< snort >
Do you also believe that the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is real as well?
Not a Catholic; but really like what he said there.
Seriously, Dude?
Man, I hate how the media has warped perception of the Church..
I think he means the kind of non-governmental organization that is a world-wide charity, like the Red Cross, or maybe the Rotary Club or March of Dimes or OxFam.
He's saying that without a focus on Christ, the Church would just be some big charity organization.
Thanks for the homily - good, and important stuff.
-— Not a Catholic; but really like what he said there. -—
Yes. Very wise. A good sign.
Not a Catholic either, but Christianity is a Christ-centered point of view. Luther and Calvin protested when the Catholic leadership lost that focus.
The church is about life everlasting. The government is all about temporary control.
Isn't it slick how the devil lies?
They are of their father the devil, who is a liar and the father of lies.
The Jesuits aren't secret guys. They teach at universities and are out there in public. They also have a wide spectrum of points of view. If you wanted them to get organized like the KGB, it would be like herding very smart and stubborn cats.
Thanks for posting this.
When I read this I feel like I get exactly what he is saying and whom he is addressing: the bread alone faction.
There are those in the Church and other Christians who teach that all that matters is social work, feeding and clothing, etc. This includes the marxist liberation theology branch. They say such things as "we need to go beyond Jesus."
To these types, the gospel is superfluous at best, not necessary, even counter productive.
I hear Pope Francis addressing them in this statement.
Traditionally the Jesuits were not like "Secret Agents," they were more like "Special Forces": they had (have) a special vow of loyalty to the Pope and would go anywhere, at a moment's notice, under any kind of dangerous conditions, to advance the mission which Christ gave to the Church.
Think of the Robert DieNiro and Jeremy Irons movie "The Mission." Those were Jesuits.
Following the formula "The corruption of the best, is the worst," some of the best and worst priests you'll find, are Jesuits.
They have history of high academic achievement and fast-track promotion of able leadership. I had an old pal who was a poor kid back East who applied to a Jesuit Prep School that had 1,500 applicants for 30 openings. He got in because he was super-bright and they gave him a full scholarship because he was super-poor. But he was constantly rubbing elbows with the sons of diplomats and the elites of 3 continents. He joined the Seminary and was ordained. Ended up requesting laicization after 30+ years as a priest, because he was scandalized by worldly Jesuits in high places.
I mention that story because it was typical of a certain generation.
The best of them are simply magnificent. They've got a whole regiment of heroic canonized saints, missionary-martyrs, scientists, men of devotion to God, brilliance and backbone.
The worst are intellectually overstuffed, known for their rebelliousness (the reverse of their special oath of loyalty), way, way over to the Left, proud as pit-hags, and --- 'nuff said.
♥Pope Francis is the good kind.♥
Sounds perfect!!
LOL! Oh my did you ever hit the nail on the head!
"No offense, but is anybody else concerned about him being a Jesuit?"
Only to the extent that it will encourage liars to continue to spew their lies about Catholics in general and Jesuits in particular. Lies that gullible saps swallow hook, line, and sinker, rather than bothering to find out the Truth and see that the true agenda of the anti-Catholic crowd is almost without fail just a veiled attempt to aid the expansion of the secular humanist anti-Christ society.
Why anyone who is actually a Christian be "concerned" over a Pope who right up front says we have to, "build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified.
The only people upset are the anti-Christ anti-Catholic fascists, anti-Christ anti-Catholic queers, and anti-Christ anti-Catholic liars who make a living off of the lies they tell about about the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Jesus Christ Himself founded.
No offense, just stating facts.
When one does not profess Jesus Christ - I recall the phrase of Leon Bloy Whoever does not pray to God, prays to the devil. When one does not profess Jesus Christ, one professes the worldliness of the devil.
Silly. Everybody knows that's Opus Dei < /sarc>
Actually, the true meaning of "pitiful" is exactly that: full of pity, ie, compassionate.
The correct word for what most people mean when they say "pitiful" is "pitiable."
The Pope used an English acronym? What others does he us? SNAFU? LOL? WTF?
Mrs. Don-o,
Thank you for your well reasoned and informative response. I've never seen The Mission, but plan to soon.
He nailed it. That is what liberal Catholics want to make of the Church. What they dont leave; they wanted to gain control of its assets to further their utopian dreams of heaven on earth.
I am fairly sure that the guys at Georgetown are not exactly thrilled. Francis can greet them and say, "I have understood you. He will not stand them up against a wall, but he is not their friend.
I saw this on AlJazeerah, and the reporter noted that the word he used for "compassionate" could also be translated as "pitiful"...
sounds like it came out more nuanced in Italian than the BBC would like to admit.
NGO = non-governmental organization; basically, a non-profit secular organization

Comments: I have bought two of these nets over the last 3yrs. They are not very durable. The first one the handle rivets sheared off & you could not extend or retract the handle. The second one the netting itself started breaking & falling apart. I feel they are not a good value & should last longer for the money. Went with a Frabill & feel it is better quality.
From: Doug: Bonney Lake, WA 9/18/16
Comments: I don't know what the big issue is I have had this net for about a month ladies fish from 3lb to over 5lbs it has worked flawlessly I love it everything that ppl have been saying is bad about the net has not happend to me I have the compact 18-36 handle works great, and as for it being heavy not sure if they have a bigger net but mine weights 2.5lbs if that's a lot then I don't know what to say even my 8yr old daughter says its light and my 12yr old son lands fish with it no problem... Would I recommend it yes hey maybe I haven't had it long enough my opinion after a month GREAT NET!
From: Miguel: Suisun, CA 2/22/16
Comments: had the compact S2 slider and the handle broke off right below the threads when landing a small keeper, actually broke scooping through the water (threads are stuck in the net portion). I have contacted Ego, we will see what they do (if anything). I doubt I buy a replacement handle for this, I'll probably go with a different brand
From: JR: Fairmont, WV 5/15/14
Comments: Great design. I like it a lot. only "complaint" is its real heavy compared to my old aluminum net. but I still will be using this one.
From: Danny: Cool, CA
Comments: Awesome net but downfall is the foam padding on handle is cheap. Mines started to come apart after a few usages.
From: Lue: Sac, CA
Comments: handle is still operating smooth, and have landed fish up to nine. My complaints are how heavy and cumbersome the net is when you are by yourself and its net time. Even for being a small net. Now the net has rotted, just under two years old. I will buy something else.
From: nor-cal
Comments: Great net, just make sure to get the newer updated model with the stronger handle. Not sure if Tackle warehouse carries them yet. I just got mines direct from Adventure products
From: Anthony: S.F. Bay Area
Comments: The net is awesome for fish that don't weigh much, but when you bring in good greenies over 4-5 lbs and the handle is extended - 9 times out of 10 it will bend - and good luck getting it back right to where it will extend and retract easily. The net is heavy as crap if you have to chase a fish in the water around the boat. I got rid of the handle and went to Home Depot and just got an 8' paint roller (its one piece and long, but it's a lot more durable). They also have the same exact handle - but the threads are different on the screw. Just take your net in to HD or Lowe's and see which handle will fit it.
From: Russ: Canton, GA
Comments: I purchased the $70.00 version of this net this spring. After a few days out fishing the handle would not extend or retract easily. It took major effort to get the handle to extend and collapse. I guess it had too much stress on it from netting one of the heavier fish. Took it back to the store I purchased it from and they replaced it. A couple months later while netting a 6+ lb fish the handle broke off where the threads meet the net. I like the light weight and the idea behind the net but the quality and materials are substandard. I wont be buying this net again and dont recommend others to buy it.
From: LeDon: Cocolalla, ID
Comments: I have to let everyone know that the net floats for about 30 seconds and then will sink. I recommend checking the length of time the net floats. My net slipped of the back while running down the lake. Before my partner could grab it, it was too late. I circled around to retrieve it and much to our surprise it sank right next to the boat. The positive out of this is I will check to see how long it really takes to sink and make sure not to make the same mistake with my new net. Ego2 or whoever the name of the actual company, sent me a new net in 2 days after hearing what happened. No questions asked! Solid company. Besides not floating as long as I thought it would, this is by far the best net on the market.
From: John: Fishers, IN
Comments: I really like the size of this net, the concept and the design. I do have one complaint. The point where the net screws into the handle is GARBAGE. The metal that is used is so soft that any stress on that part of the net will cause bad things to happen. I have already replaced my handle once and have had trouble with the replacement handle already. It still works, but for how long? If better metal was used, it would be a totally different story.
From: Jason: Stafford, VA
Comments: I've had the net for about a year now and until this last trip it has been flawless. We wrecked some large bass on the Delta and in an attempt to scoop a 5+ Largemouth, the threads snapped off from the handle. The metal used for the threads is very low quality (porous) and hallow inside. I really like design and functionality of the net, but the net size on the model TW sells is a tad small when you have to land larger fish! Would be nice to have the handle longer as well. Unfortunatly I won't be buying this net again.
From: Brett
Comments: This thing is AMAZING!!! High quality, low weight. Very tough. Its all they say it is and more!
From: Jeff: Bloomington, MN
Comments: I got the clear mesh model back in the Summer and have used it alot. This is an awesome net, very compact, smooth and easy to extend and hooks wont tangle like Nylon, It also floats! To me it just has a great feel with the cushion handle grip and is super light for a rubber net. The net can be changed to many differant types to be used with the handle and it screws down in perfect alignment. Best net ever!
From: Dave: Mtn. Home, AR
Comments: best net on the market no other can compare

Research your current Investments. What are you currently investing in your retirement?

With Mark Harmon on board, top-rated NCIS will be back for its 11th season.
CBS today announced a contract extension for Harmon, whose deal would have been up after this season, and the Tuesday drama's renewal for the 2013-2014 season. The length of Harmon's contract extension was not disclosed.
In its 10th season, NCIS edges out Sunday Night Football to rank as TV's most-watched program, averaging 21.5 million viewers. That marks a 7% improvement from last year, a viewer increase that is unusual for such a veteran show. It attracted 22.9 million viewers Jan. 15, marking its second-biggest audience. The drama draws a sizable number of advertiser-coveted young adults.
The show performs well internationally, where it is licensed in more than 200 markets.
"In a world gone niche, NCIS keeps getting bigger and Mark Harmon continues to define the role of leading man on the No. 1 show on television," CBS Corp. president and CEO Leslie Moonves said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "NCIS is the type of franchise every company wants in today's global content ecosystem -- high-quality storytelling that generates passionate viewers and drives revenue on every conceivable platform."

***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Yes, I'm sure that Belicheck is ecstatic to be replacing Hernandez and Gronkowski with Ballard
He's playing with Tom Brady, he'll be fine for sure. Honestly, he might even be more seasoned after next season. I say we try and pick him up after next season!
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

Leinster have avoided controversy by not including suspended prop Cian Healy in their team to face Treviso at the RDS on Saturday.
Leinster have avoided controversy by not including suspended prop Cian Healy in their team to face Treviso at the RDS on Saturday.
Normally, Healy wouldn't have played this weekend but Leinster had suggested that he would be considered since his three-week ban handed down by the Six Nations disciplinary committee only officially starts on Monday. However it has been stated that he is suspended and is therefore unavailable for selection.
The province welcome back several players who were involved with the Ireland squad in recent weeks. Amongst them is hooker Sean Cronin while fellow Limerick man Eoin Reddan will make his 78th Leinster appearance and will link up with Ian Madigan in the half-backs.
Rhys Ruddock will captain the side on his 50th provincial appearance and is named in a back-row with fellow Academy graduates Dominic Ryan and Jordi Murphy, who scored a try in the 26-11 victory over Cardiff Blues on his 18th appearance last weekend.
Fergus McFadden joins full-back Luke Fitzgerald and Dave Kearney in an exciting back three, with Eoin O'Malley – fresh from making his senior seasonal bow last weekend – named at centre alongside Andrew Goodman.
In total, 12 of the starting 15 are graduates of the Leinster Academy.
Meanwhile, Manoa Vosawai starts for Treviso in place of Robert Barbieri.
Tommaso Iannone starts on the wing with Michele Rizzo at prop amongst the changes to Franco Smith's side.
The player will only permit the author of the second half in Newport, the third line of the Petrarca Padova, Philip Giusti, while holders Manoa Vosawai start in place of Robert Barbieri and Tommaso Iannone Michele Rizzo.
Doppies La Grange moves to inside centre with Andrea Pratichetti at 13.
Form: Leinster have won their last five matches in all competitions since being defeated 19-27 at Ulster in the RaboDirect PRO12 on 21 December. The Leinstermen have suffered just one reversal at the RDS in the regular season of the PRO12 since September 2011: 22-23 to Ospreys on 23 March. Benetton Treviso play their third successive away game in the PRO12, losing the other two: 7-41 in Glasgow and 14-23 at the Dragons.
