Maxine Damery passed away Sunday, March 18, 2012, in her home. She was born Maxine Elizabeth Clark on June 17, 1926 at Milmine, IL, the daughter of Otis E. Clark and Ruby P. Poundstone Clark.
For some reason saying goodbye to her always made me cry. I think I cried more as I got older, each year just seemed a little harder to leave her. No doubt I will be crying this Thursday and Friday saying goodbye for the last time.
I am so happy that I had the chance to spend some special time with her. One of my favorite times visiting was when my daughters Juliana and Claire and I took her to Rockome Gardens in Arcola, Illinois. I walked into the barn and Maxine was leaning against one of the horses talking to it. I took the picture above on that visit. Of course, when I had the camera ready she wasn't hugging and talking to the horse but I sure am glad to have the picture I took. I am also glad that my children had a chance to visit with her. I bought tickets for a ride in the carriage and I just remember the smile on her face. Such a simple thing and such a wonderful memory.
I love you Aunt Maxine, I'll see you in heaven.

USDA Rural Development Participates in the Vermont Small Business Lending Conference
Molly Lambert, USDA Rural Development State Director for Vermont and key Vermont Business and Cooperative Program staff participated recently in the Vermont Small Business Lending Conference presented by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy.
The conference purpose was to bring as many small business lending opportunities and business development resources such as, lender, Government procurement counselors and Small Business Development Centers, directly to small businesses interested in learning about the available business lending opportunities that will help them to invest in job creation and business growth.
USDA Rural Development staff along with representatives from 35 other traditional and non-traditional lenders, and resource organizations met face-to-face with small business owners. Business Programs Loan Specialist, Kevin Morehouse engaged with an assortment of business owners ranging from winery & vineyard, organic food and baked goods operations, to award & gift product line distributors. He and the business owners discussed next steps which might include a recommendation to meet with a financial advisor to review business plan and organize the business' loan proposal.
"This conference brings the lenders and the resources to the business," said State Director Lambert."After one year of Recovery Act efforts, we are seeing people back to work, and economic growth, yet many small businesses still need the type of assistance and resources offered to them at conferences and workshops like this."

Skip to comments.Iowa's Sen. Harkin [D] to retire: Won't seek re-election
Posted on 01/26/2013 8:46:09 AM PST by fieldmarshaldjEdited on 01/26/2013 9:22:59 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
CUMMING (AP) - Iowa Senator Tom Harkin said he will not seek re-election in 2014.
The 73-year-old told The Associated Press in an interview, "It's just time to step aside."
By the time Harkin would finish a sixth term, he would be 81 years old.
(Excerpt) Read more at kwwl.com ...
Dungheap Harkin...that POS?
and don't let the door hit you in the backside on the way out, comrade.
I go for both: Harken to swiftly and hastily exit thru the door, AND a just as SWIFT HEAVY WHACK of the that door on his backside.
Good. I can't stand that smug prick.
It is short and has some details about lies bout being a pilot.
*Harkin to retire ping*
He is one of the biggest disgraces and dumbest men to ever serve in the Senate.
I expect the GOP establishment may try to persuade Gov. Branstad to run (which means he won't run for another term as Governor), but he will be 68 and should've run against Harkin back in 1990 after he finished his first two terms as Governor. Conservatives will want Congressman Steve King, fresh off a difficult reelection.
Dem side could be a bloodbath, with perhaps both Dem Congressmembers, ex-Govs. Vilsack and Culver all getting in, though I expect there will be pressure to unify behind a single candidate (if I had to guess, probably Vilsack). Still, this should be an excellent pick-up opportunity for us in what should be a good GOP year in 2014.
Please take Little Dick Durbin with you.
Sounds good, but Iowa Republicans have no bench.
Beyond Branstad, there's Steve King and Tom Latham and a big list of wannabes.
I'd pick Matt Shutlz, but he's probably too young and too 'divisive'.
With Paultards running the state party while ordinary R voters are 'moderate', I expect a disaster and another lib Democrat senator.
Well, that's a good morale booster. Thanks!
Like the "men" who snuck into the lifeboats as the Titanic sank, these clowns are bailing before the shit hits the fan.
My Titanic reference breaks down when we understand that, unlike the cowards aboard Titanic, our current cowards steered our sinking ship of state straight into the iceberg at full speed, laughing all the way.
And, in a classic example that no bad deed goes unrewarded, instead of arriving back on land excoriated by others for their shameful behavior, these clowns now shuffle off to a cushy taxpayer funded retirement! THAT is something we really must fix by returning "service" to public service and rotating these clowns every few years with TERM LIMITS and seiously reduced retirement benes.
"...The blogosphere has clearly shown the world that there are a whole host of stories that old media doesn't cover out of sheer "laziness"
LOL! Pure bullsh t. It's not laziness...they are enablers, partners in crime...their job is to deflect/re-focus attention away from their corrupt comrades and instead dump on their ideological opposites.
Patton(movie): "You and Ike don't have to get involved, you're so damn soft about it. You leave it to me. In ten days I'll have us a war with those sons-a-bitches and I'll make it look like their fault."
...mix in some Saul Alinsky tactics and you control the narrative to an(extremely)gullible public.
Conservatives better figure out a way to combat this strategy(aside from politics/spineless GOP politicians)...or game over.
You are right about that.
Steven King for US Senate?
Best news today!
That's the first thing that I thought, too. It looks like he already has an "F" rating from the NRA, though. He probably would have voted for the gun control bill anyway.
This is totally different from the Chambliss announcement. Saxby was gonna get primaried, and could well have lost. Harkin would win, but it'd be a tough campaign, and since the Dems are gonna lose the senate in 2014, why bust your back to win a seat in the MINORITY
Hot damn....about time
arrogant POS
"A great pick-up opportunity for us with the right candidate."
That is what we said about Missouri, North Dakota, and Montana last year, all red states won easily by Romney.
Good observation.
OK, how do we keep the voters from voting third party, throwing the seat to the Dems.
That is the question.
According to the latest figures I could find — for 2011 — 75 members of the Senate in that year had American Conservative Union lifetime ratings lower than 90 percent.
Since the Senate hasn't changed much in the past two years, Conservatives will have an opportunity to pick up 75 more seats in the Senate over the next three election cycles. During that time, many old Democratic and RINO geezers will be calling it a day for one reason or another.
If the Conservative cause is alive and well, many young Conservatives will be enlisting to fight the enemy by becoming candidates for the U.S. Senate in the next few years. Conservative organizations should be aggressively recruiting such candidates, since the RNC is in the grip of moderates, then training them in how to conduct winning campaigns.
Good news, now I will look for the announcement of his last day on Earth.
Yes, and whichever Republican runs had better erase the word "rape" from his vocabulary.
Daniel Ortega is saddened by the news.
Good riddance to Harkin—an old Commie traitor from way, way back.
Great point. Also, if a reporter asks you about the age of the Earth answer: "That question would be best directed to Dr. XXXX, head of the Geology Department of the nearest university". If they ask again or ask a variation of this question, same answer.
Man, wish my dad, a long time Iowa conservative was still alive to hear this news.
The only thing I know him from is Howard Dean's famous gaffe. "Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin..."
Good firetrucking riddance.
Iowa wouldn't vote him out.
Praises for his retirement and may it be short.
Good. He was a liar anyway, saying he flew around Vietnam, I believe...then exposed as a liar.
Most Democrats get away with lying, (see: Bill Clinton) or sodomizing their staff (see: Gerry Studds), or even killing someone (see: Ted Kennedy).
Such behavior is celebrated by the perverted left.
Yes!!! Since Missouri does not have a Senate race this time, my Tea Party group is eager to get involved in this race and help "the right candidate".
Excellent, he's so irritating.
Why do I have the feeling that obama has hand picked the replacement during the past four years?
We don't want to lose him in the House, although his seat should be a safe Republican seat.
I truly only care about which one of these would be our toughest candidate to defeat the Democrat. Latham might be that person. He's proven to be a consistent winner, even in a district that is not as conservative as SK's district.
Probably our strongest general-election candidate would be Congressman Tom Latham of IA-03. Latham got screwed over in redistricting in both 2000 and 2010, each forcing him to run in a district that was almost entirely new to him and less Republican than the previous one, yet was able to win rather comfortably each time. Over his 15 years or so in the House, he has represented nearly half the state, and his current district is based in Des Moines (the state's largest city) and was carried by Obama 51.24%-46.97% last year, which was only 0.76% less Democrat than the state as a whole. Latham is an experienced campaigner, has a conservative voting record without being polarizing, and has a history of winning independent and Democrat votes. While I'm a big fan of Congressman Steve King, he has only won in comfortably Republican districts, and I don't think he'd fare very well running statewide in a state where McCain and Romney only got 44% and 46%, respectively.
Just go for the one most likely to defeat the Democrat. Any of them would be far better than any Democrat.
I personally know everyone of these mentioned. They're all fine people, now just to sort out who would be the strongest candidate.
You beat me by 18 seconds (check out my post #45).
Well, it looks like you and I have this analyzed the same.

Skip to comments.Why Richard Dawkins wont debate William Lane Craig
Posted on 12/09/2009 10:58:08 AM PST by SeekAndFind
William Lane Craig is not only one of the worlds leading Christian apologists but he has actually made outstanding original contributions to philosophy. Yes, Craig publishes popular-level books. Unlike Dawkins, however, who in 20-years plus has been purely a popularizer (of Darwinian evolution, materialist science, and atheism), Craig continues to publish at the highest levels of the academy addressing scholars of the highest caliber (and gaining their respect). Dawkins, by contrast, increasingly appeals to the lowest common denominator. Its in this light that Dawkins glib dismissal of Craig should be viewed:
CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE SHORT VIDEO OF DAWKIN's RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION
Dawkins says he wont debate William Lane Craig because his only claim to fame is that hes a professional debater and he says that people he debates have got to have something more than that. Dawkins says "I'm Busy".
Figures. Libs really do not like to debate folks who can debate back. However, it's amazing that he wouldn't try and stand up to someone defending an untestable hypothesis.
(Yup, it is untestable. And yup, I'm still a Christian.)
If you don't mind, please ping me to your posts so we don't duplicate, and so I can ping the list :o)
Here's William Lane Craig's previous comment on why Richard Dawkins won't debate him :
This is Dawkin's exact words :
"I have always said that when invited to do debates that I will be happy to debate a Bishop, a Cardinal, a Pope, an Archbishop; indeed I have done both. But I dont take on creationists and I dont take on people whose only claim to fame is that they are professional debaters. Theyve gotta have something more than that; Im busy.
Because Richard Dawkins is a spineless pansy who knows that once he gets outside his circle of acquaintances and acolytes, any real debating opposition would stomp him flat.
I read this piece of critique of Dawkin's response from this website :
TITLE : Too Busy for the Best
Recall that Dawkins' original comment was: "... and I don't take on people whose only claim to fame is that they are professional debaters. They gotta have something more than that, I'm busy." (Whether his busy schedule was due to grammar or finishing school was not specified.) I myself have similar standards, thus:
1. I do not race people whose only claim to fame is that they are professional runners;
2. I do not play chess against people whose only claim to fame is that they are chess masters;
3. I do not play one-on-one with people whose only claim to fame is that they are basketball stars;
4. I do not set my car against people whose only claim to fame is that they have a fast car; and
5. I do not attempt to match the accomplishments of folks whose only claim to fame is that they are in the Guinness Book of World Records ®.
After all, they have to have something more than that, I'm busy.
In fact, I vastly prefer to race people who are famous for eating, to play chess against people who are famous for boxing, to play one-on-one basketball with people who are famous for chess, and to try to match the accomplishments of people who generally aren't outstanding in the particular field of endeavor in which I'm engaged.
So I can understand why Dawkins would prefer to debate men who have ecclesiastical rank that is unrelated to debating skill (bishops, archbishops, and especially cardinals) rather than someone who is actually famous for debate. After all, who has time for sure defeat? We're busy!
Dawkins a coward. He peddles trash like Obama and HATES God.
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
(Paperback - Jan 16, 2008)
God is No Delusion:
A Refutation of Richard Dawkins (Paperback)
By Thomas Crean
I propose that Al Gore & Richard Dawkins debate each other twice. In the first debate, Gore can defend Theism. In the second debate, Dawkins can make the case against AGW.
Considering the fact that when Dr Dawkins interviewed Wendy Wright she looked quite foolish by asking for the material evidence and then ignoring that evidence when it was presented to her. She then attempted to change the subject. That seems to be a common creationist/i.d tactic ignore the questions you cannot answer.
Just like GGG has been dodging this question for a few weeks now:
Please explain why we find no trilobites above the Permian strata, and why we find no dinosaurs above the cretaceous strata, or no mammals in the Cambrian strata?"
"Never wrestle with a pig. You'll just get dirty and only the pig will enjoy it"
But not without evidence ...
And I thought GGG, editor-surveyor, and Wendy1946 were loons. Makes them seem like Rhodes Scholars.
Any hobgoblin in a moral storm, it seems...
Seems creationism is making a big comeback with the taliban, too...
The resemblance is... well, uncanny.
What a resemblance.
Dawkins is a "girly-man".
He's a hopeless, arrogant fool. Deep down, Dawkins knows it and why he is so defensive.
Evidently he is more than just a master debater.
When I get the time I will begin with the articles referenced at Encyclopedia Of Philosophy and follow the links where they lead.
I imagine it will lead to hours of philosophical enlightenment.
Then again I could spend more time dragging my eyes through these so-called "Philosophy" threads on FR and gaining nothing more than heightened frustration and lowered expectations with regard to the average Freepers ability to engage in philosophical discussion.
Trilobites are ocean bottom dwelling creatures that did not find a suitable environment following the Noahic cataclysm. This is unsurprising given the total resurfacing of the ocean during this event. Not surprisingly they are found near the bottom of the fossil record.
Likewise, dinosaurs were not able to re-establish themselves, for reasons that one one has a solid handle on (suggestions, yes, but I don't think creationists or evolutionists have a solid answer on their demise).
As for mammals in the Cambrian, the Cambrian is marine strata reflective of a pre-flood oceanic environment. Terrestrial fossils in general are absent from this strata, right? And any marine mammals would necessarily have lived at/near the surface, thus rendering their burial in ocean-bottom deposits during deposition of these layers unlikely.
Evolution doesn't 'predict' any of these fossil distributions, by the way. It simply accepts the distribution of the fossils and assumes an evolutionary lineage after the fact. The failure to do so coherently as more evidence has been compiled, as reflected in the collapse of the 'evolutionary tree' concept, shows how unfriendly the fossil record is to monophyletic evolution.

Connacht boss Eric Elwood has made two changes to the starting XV for Saturday's PRO12 clash with Munster at The Sportsground.
Connacht boss Eric Elwood has made two changes to the starting XV for Saturday's PRO12 clash with Munster at The Sportsground.
Elwood's troops have won two of their last three interprovincial encounters and are pursuing a clean sweep of 2012 home victories against the three other provinces.
The back line remains unchanged while up front, Ronan Loughney makes way for Nathan White who captains the side tomorrow.
Versatile forward George Naoupu will start in the second row alongside Mike McCarthy. Veteran lock Michael Swift and 22-year-old centre Eoin Griffin have both returned from injury and are named on the bench for tomorrow's derby clash.
Eoghan Grace, who has captained the Connacht Eagles this season, scoring a try in last weekend's B&I Cup victory over Cross Keys, is also named on the bench.
Meanwhile, James Coughlan, who won his 100th cap at Vicarage Road last Sunday, is just one of five players who started against Saracens listed to line-out on Saturday in a game that sees the return from injury of Denis Hurley, Tommy O'Donnell and Sean Dougall who had a run out against his old club Rotherham Titans in the British & Irish Cup last Friday.
Form: Connacht have won just one of their last five RaboDirect PRO12 matches: 18-3 at home to Benetton Treviso on 3 November. Connacht have won two of their last three encounters with fellow Irish provinces, and are going for a clean sweep of victories against the three other provinces in Galway this season. Munster have won three of their last four PRO12 games, whilst the Munstermen's solitary away victory since the opening weekend was 24-18 at Cardiff Blues on 2 November. Munster have won just one of their last four games against fellow Irish provinces in the PRO12. Connacht's only win over Munster since 1986 was 12-6 at the Sportsground on 28 December 2008.
The teams:
Connacht: 15 Robbie Henshaw, 14 Tiernan O'Halloran, 13 Danie Poolman, 12 Dave McSharry, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 Eoin McKeon, 7 Johnny O'Connor, 6 Andrew Browne, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 George Nauopu, 3 Nathan White (c), 2 Jason Harris-Wright, 1 Brett Wilkinson.
Replacements: 16 Ethienne Reynecke, 17 Dennis Buckley, 18 Ronan Loughney, 19 Michael Swift, 20 Eoghan Grace, 21 Paul O'Donohoe, 22 Matthew Jarvis, 23 Eoin Griffin.
Munster: 15 Denis Hurley, 14 Johne Murphy, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 James Downey, 11 Luke O'Dea, 10 Ian Keatley, 9 Conor Murray, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 Paddy Butler, 5 Billy Holland, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 Stephen Archer, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 David Kilcoyne.

10 Art Works to Visit While People Watching at The Armory Show
One absurd art-related sentence you are almost guaranteed to overhear in New York City restaurants and bars this week: "You know, the Armory show isn't at the Armory." How did such an Alice in Wonderland paradox turn into the secret handshake of the New York art world? Well, it actually has nothing at all to do with the first Armory Show, at the 69th Regiment Armory, in 1913. That was a paradigm-shift of an event that is now regarded as the American coming-out party of modern art: Gauguin, van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso, Kandinsky, Whistler, everybody on your college Art History test was there. From that day forward, the word "Armory" took on a magical aura to art lovers everywhere—even though today the only thing that takes place at that particular New York City Armory building is the annual Victoria's Secret show, which can be culturally relevant in a way, but not in the same way that a Jeff Koons is.
Let's skip ahead to 1994, when a group of New York galleries banded together to form an annual art show. They weren't thinking of the Armory show at all back then—they were probably jealous of Art Basel, an annual art show that had been going on since the 70s, which had just secured funding from UBS. It seemed silly for dealers in the world capital of art to leave all that lucrative business to the Swiss. As it turned out, the dealers had savvy instincts; their show proved to be so successful that it moved uptown from Gramercy Park to the Park Avenue Armory in 1999, where it remained for long enough to get everyone to call it The Armory Show, although they soon outgrew that venue too. By now, they've taken over Pier 92 and 94 for a week every March. The lovely Xu Zhen painting above (that's oil paint that he's made look as delectable as frosting) will be there this week, from Thursday to Sunday, from noon to 7 pm every day. So will many more beautiful works of art, from hundreds of galleries from around the world.
To make this pretty picture even more confusing, the Art Dealers Association of America throws an another well-attended rival show, called the Art Show, at the same time at the Park Avenue Armory, at 67th Street (not the 69th Regiment Armory, on 25th Street, but it still has that magical Armory aura!). They're open noon to 8, Wednesday through Friday, noon to 7 on Saturday, and noon to 5 on Sunday.

 PRICE: Jack R. Woodward completed his earthly mission and returned to his heavenly home on Nov. 28, 2012. He was born Feb. 5, 1933 in Rolapp, Utah to Calvin Ray and Nellie Prescott Woodward. He married Joyce Gardner on Aug. 6, 1954 in the Logan Utah temple.
 To make the statement that he was devoted to his family and faith does not adequately describe the reality of his everyday behavior. He spent his life in service and touched countless others in his lifetime pursuits.
 He was an accomplished athlete, leading his high school, college, and university teams which prepared him for a lifetime of coaching multiple sports from little league through the collegiate level.
 He served his country as a United States Marine Corps captain. He then returned to the hometown he loved where he influenced many as a teacher, mentor and coach. Few of us are as fortunate as Jack to love what he did as intensely as coach "centerline" Woodward did. He loved the teams he coached and our family benefited by this passion and it seemed that our family expanded with every season and every team.
 He later owned the local Golden Corral restaurant. He then spent the last 20 years, prior to being forced into retirement by a set of golf clubs, working with his family as co-owner of Woodward's Home Care Specialists.
 Retirement was anything but idle. He wore out that set of golf clubs in between service to his family, church and community. With his devoted wife he served in the Alabama, Birmingham mission and 13 years in the Manti, Utah temple. Throughout his life he fulfilled many church leadership assignments at the ward and stake level.
 He was preceded in death by his parents, in-law's, brother and sister. He is survived by his wife Joyce, sons Scott (Ronda), Wayne (Leslie), Ben (Michelle) and Kirk (Sherilee), 25 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and two are receiving last minute coaching prior to their arrival on earth.
 Funeral services were held Monday, Dec. 3, 2012 at 11 a.m. at the Price Fifth Ward Chapel, 545 E. 400 N. A viewing was held Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012 from 6-8 p.m. at Fausett Mortuary in Price, 680 E. 100 S., and on Monday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the church prior to the services. Interment will be in the Cliffview Cemetery in Price. Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guest book and share memories of Jack at www.fausettmortuary.com.

Lol Beel's noobness is contagious, poor kouta.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Oga made some good use out of obligatory Krillin Bro #4. He may be a thick-headed idiot but damn if he isn't entertaining. With all this training taking place in preparation for the demons I'd really like to see some of Toujou's training with old man Zen.
As freakishly awesome as Ishiyama's ogre is Toujou has won me over for favorite character status, which is saying something considering how likable the entire cast is.

Furuichi is a genius among idiots. It seems he can pull off the serious role just as good as the comic role.
I Love You!
well...this manga is worth to have an all-nighter to catches the recent ch.....Crazy Oga^
anyway,this chapter did rightful honor to Furuichi, thus it alone made this most amazing chapter.
Oga seems to be progressing with his training and Kouta vs Beel moments are always appreciated.
Started to read this series last week and caught up to the latest chapter today. And it's pretty damn good. Like the storyline and characters. Favorite characters are Toujou, Oga, Hilda, Aoi, and Furuichi Especially Furuichi, he cracks me up. Can't wait to see what comes next and especially how far Oga's training will go.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Just catched up with this serie a few days ago and i gotta say, i love the hell out of this.
It's amazing how Tamura manages to keep up a decent storyline while showcasing several support characters (wich is a shame that some mangas cannot) and keeping up the badassness of Oga.
This is definetley one of the best running series in my view.
Gather everyone! The Beel dancing class is about to begin
awesome new ch. who new demons sayed prayers lol.
fuurchi looked like a boss for a second there

Your favorite shoes: on sale now!
If you think all men's dress shoes are alike, think again. At Payless, you'll find a wide range of dress shoe styles, from a variety of lace-up Oxfords to slip-ons and even moccasins. How can a moccasin be dressy? Try a driver moc with a flexible sole, sleek shape and a subtly decorated, soft upper. It's perfect not only for road trips and commuting, but also for the office and evenings out. It provides the kind of versatility you want and plenty of comfort to go with it.
Oxfords have long been a standby for dress wear, and the styles you'll find at Payless certainly fill that role. They'll go with a variety of looks to fit any occasion and any outfit, from business casual to black tie. You'll find lace-up brogue Oxfords and stitch-toe dress Oxfords that are perfect with slacks and a sport coat or a V-neck and khakis.

Styling for men's dress shoes doesn't always demand laces. Like dress moccasins, dress slip-ons can complement business and formal wear while providing the comfort of a soft, flexible upper. You can choose from square-toed slip-ons with uppers that feature a subtle design or a pair with a more pointed and sleek style accented by a strap and buckle.
You might say that men's dress shoes aren't just for dress anymore. And that makes them even more adaptable and versatile. For example, a pair of slip-ons or driving mocs can work as well with blue jeans and a button-down shirt as a suit and tie.
Whether you never dress up once a month or every day, you'll find dress shoes that work for you in Payless stores or online. Come experience the variety and enjoy the great value.

Out of the three actors who played a Fett, which one would you like to meet the most?
It was Jeremy for me
probably Logan Just because hes near my age
I would like to meet Jeremy Bulloch aswell.
Definately Bulloch, I never liked Logan, for reasons I can't even explain myself. I guess I just don't like the way he didn't give me a true feeling that he was Boba...
Plus, Bulloch is always gunna be the best.
bulloch and temura morrison. cause i like clone troopers to.
i would like to meet temura morrison, becuse he played jango and he was on this show i used to see way back when.
Definatly Bulloch.
Jeremy Bulloch.
I want to meet them all! But, I'd guess I'd want to meet Bulloch since he's the original.
I've met them all at SW weekends, but I would rather meet Jeremy and Morrison again. I also agree with Fetterthanyou about daniel. Never felt he did Boba justice as a kid.
Bulloch. Can't beat the original. I cherish my VHS copy of ESB.
I'll go with Jeremy Bulloch on this one.
We've already met Mr. Bulloch so now it would be Temura Morrison.
Temura Morrison and Little Boba. LB far surpassed Jake Lloyd, in my opinion. Evil cackle > now THIS *cheesy grin* is pod racing.
Wooh, first post. =D
Met Jeremy once - he is very sweet, polite and kewl!
But you know, I think I'm taller than Morrison, so it might spoil the illusion if I met him in person.
Not sure about Logan. Fett as a kid is sort of a nebulous concept to me, like the Tooth Fairy, or, the Boogey Man.
That's tough!! Well, I hate to sound fan girlish, but probably Daniel Logan 'cause he's only like one or two years older than me & really... cute. I'd feel really weird if I met any of them though... I'd probably freak out and just stare at them in stunned silence. -_-;;
Jeremy! He's numero uno in my book. Temeura comes in second.
Temura Morrison and Little Boba. LB far surpassed Jake Lloyd, in my opinion. Evil cackle > now THIS *cheesy grin* is pod racing.
Wooh, first post.
I strongly dislike young Anakin. That was NOT Vader as a kid, repeat, NOT Vader.
Morrison actually. I like the way he talks. Then Jeremy, for sure. Wouldn't mind meeting Daniel, but at the same time I find that a bit... awkward. We're around the same age and for some stupid reason that'd make me nervous.
Temura Morrison, he had such a good voice
Not as good as Wingreen's and it ruined Boba's voice.
I'd want to meet Logan or Bodie Taylor(for anyone who doesn't know, He's the guy who acted all the clones sitting there eating, took me forever to find out his name). I have to say I gree with you Manji_Ninja, Logan is cute!
Only reason I put them above Temura and Jeramey is cuz Tem would probably want to arm wrestle (like he was doing at Celebration IV, which I totally COULD NOT do, I would lose so bad) and I haven't really heard that much about Jeramey, although he does seem to have a really good sense of humor.
jeremy bulloch, definetely!
I would like to meet the dude who played Jango.
The "dude"who plays Jango is Temuera Morrison,a favourite actor of mine,I love the energy he puts into his characters.

Building a green home, while increasingly popular in recent years, isn't a completely new concept, and the House in Regensburg by Thomas Herzog, built in 1977, still resonates today as a unique and beautiful example of thoughtful, site-responsive architecture.
Elegant in its simplicity, the design employs key sustainable principles, including passive heating and cooling, appropriate material selection and responsive building form, all of which enable the structure to have minimal development impact while maintaining a high degree of efficiency- the result of an integrated approach to site, technology, and design.
Herzog's House in Regensburg is not only a beautiful example of modern design, but also...

|In response to Re: Caravelle one-piece toilet installation strength & stalbility?
If you look close at the Caroma you'll see that the fill valve is a standard Fluidmaster 400A, which you can find at any hardware store. The flush valve might be a little tricky. I'm not sure where you live, but here in Seattle they are easy to find. I'm sure in most merto areas there is a distributor for them. As a plumbing contractor I have found Caroma's customer service to be outstanding. They even gave me a free toilet to put in my house. I've put a few of these now, and they out-flush Toto any day of the week( I think Toto is overrated myself). Their flushing capacity rivals some flushometer style toilets. When I install them I don't lag them to the floor, I just use 100% silicon around the base & it works just fine. In my option the only two things holding Caroma back is 1) marketing, 2)aesthetics. : I just about installed a Toto UltraMax, when my Wife saw a Caroma demonstrated at tradeshow today. She was excited (for her) about the dual flush, and she liked the way the Caravelle one-piece toilet (naturally top of the line)looked, better than the Toto UltraMax. Luckily, the plumbing supply store that sold me the Toto, let me return it, but they said I would be sorry about buying the Caroma (he doesn't carry them), because I wouldn't be able to get parts.
: 1. Will I be able to get parts for this toilet?
: 2. Is the inside dual flush mechanism really gauranteed for life, as the show salesperson said?
: 3. I am concerned about the installation, as they don't bolt the toilet to the flange. They rely on silicon caulk around the base to secure it. Although they do have two holes at the back of the toilet base to put in some bolts. But I have a porclean tile floor - UGH! Will this installation technique be STRONG enough? Will I have to use the holes in the back and drill into my tile?
: 4. How does this compare in performance to the Toto UltraMax?

Philmont will provide all the food that crews require on the trail. The crew will carry a few days' supplies at a time, picking up food at designated camps along the trail. Each camp commissary staff will issue a specific menu according to a prearranged plan. This plan enables crews to eat a different menu each day on the trail.
Packaged in durable, disposable plastic bags, these lightweight trail meals have been carefully developed and checked for quality and quantity for rugged mountain hiking and backpacking needs of energetic young people and leaders who hike Philmont trails.
The trail food diet is, by necessity, a high-carbohydrate, high-calorie diet rich in wheat, milk products, and sugars. Explicit cooking directions are indicated on each food packet for your convenience. Follow these instructions closely. Your crew may find it helpful to practice cooking freeze-dried or dehydrated food before your trek begins.
Scouts picking up trail food from camping services
When an individual in your crew is allergic to some food products, requires a special diet, or has specific religious food needs; suitable food substitutions must be purchased at home and brought or shipped to Philmont.
Review this year's Trail Menu and ingredient list found on this page and determine which items in each meal will cause a problem and prepare a substitute for the specific items in the meal. Every participant will still be provided the standard trail menu and it will be up to them to remove the individual packages at each commissary.
Each crew eats a total of 30 unique meals while on trek. Meal schedules operate by day of the month, not by day of the trek. Breakfast 1, Lunch 1 and Dinner 1 are served on June 11th, 21st, July 1st, etc. Breakfast 2, Lunch 2 and Dinner 2 are served on June 12th, 22nd, etc. By using this method, regardless of arrival day, everyone eats the same thing each day. Throughout their 10-day backcountry expreience, participants will have the opportunity to eat all 30 meals, even if the first meal they eat is not meal 1.
When purchasing these substitute food items, keep in mind that Philmont participants need approximately 3,000 calories a day.
Participant's Expedition Number
Participant's Name
The meal number (ex: Lunch 1)
- Note: Meal number must match the meal number on the Philmont trail food menu. Please do not mark Ziplocs with the day of the trek.
All meals are numbered from 1 to 10. This same protocol would also apply to participants with specific religious food needs. However, Philmont will replace the main dinner entrée for these participants using either: My Own Meals Kosher MREs, J&M Halal certified MREs or simply vegetarian options for Hindu and any other religion with specific requests. Participants must make these arrangements prior to arrival at Philmont.
Philmont Backcountry Cooking Method
On the afternoon of your arrival at Philmont, your crew's Ranger, Crew Leader, and the individual(s) with the substitute food should bring the food bags and the crew's "Crew Leader Copy" (your crew receives this earlier at Philmont) to the Logistics staff. They will then group the meals by backcountry commissary corresponding to your itinerary and will arrange for them to be delivered to those commissaries so that they will available when the crew makes its regular food pickup. The key thing to be sure of is that baggies are clearly labeled.
For meals eaten in the dining hall, appropriate substitutions can be arranged by speaking to the dining hall manager upon arrival at Philmont.
If you have questions about food substitutions, please contact us.
Philmont Scout Ranch, the Boy Scouts of America's premier High Adventure™ base, challenges Scouts and Venturers with more than 214 square miles of rugged northern New Mexico wilderness. Backpacking treks, horseback cavalcades, and training and service programs offer young people many ways to experience this legendary country.

Chakkraphatdiphong Road, Ban Bat, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok, Thailand
+66 2621 0576
Wat Saket was another historic temple in Bangkok built during the reign of King Rama I. It is best known for The Golden Mount (Phu Khao Thong in Thai), a man-made hill with a golden chedi on the hilltop, which was completed during the reign of King Rama V after decades of construction. The golden chedi is where the sacred Buddha's relics are enshrined. When there wasn't buildings and skycrapers, The Golden Mount was the tallest structure in Bangkok and it's also used to suspect fire accidents. Today, the platform on its top level is still a great place to enjoy a 360-degree panorama of Bangkok's old district. Every year in the mid of November, Wat Saket hosts its grandest festival urging Buddhists to hike up to the The Golden Mount to pay respect to the Buddha's relics and later unwind with a number of delicious food and fun activities on its ground.

The Summer Olympics
a—The 1906 Intercalated Games in Athens are considered unofficial by the IOC because they did not take place in the four-year cycle established in 1896. However, most record books include these interim games with the others.
b—The 1940 Summer Games are originally scheduled for Tokyo, but Japan resigns as host after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Helsinki is the next choice, but the IOC cancels the Games after Soviet troops invade Finland in 1939.
c—Germany and Japan are allowed to rejoin the Olympic community for the first Summer Games since 1936. Though a divided country, the Germans send a joint East-West team until 1964.
d—The Soviet Union (USSR) participates in its first Olympics, Winter or Summer, since the Russian revolution in 1917 and takes home the second most medals (22-30-19—71).
e—Due to Australian quarantine laws, the equestrian events for the 1956 Games are held in Stockholm, June 10-17.
f—East Germany and West Germany send separate teams for the first time and will continue to do so through 1988.
g—The 1976 Games are boycotted by 32 nations, most of them from black Africa, because the IOC will not ban New Zealand. Earlier that year, a rugby team from New Zealand had toured racially segregated South Africa.
h—The 1980 Games are boycotted by 64 nations, led by the USA, to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan on Dec. 27, 1979.
i—The 1984 Games are boycotted by 14 Eastern Bloc nations, led by the USSR, to protest America's overcommercialization of the Games, inadequate security and an anti-Soviet attitude by the U.S. government. Most believe, however, the communist walkout is simply revenge for 1980.
j—Germany sends a single team after East and West German reunification in 1990 and the USSR competes as the Unified Team after the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Leicester Tigers made easy work of Aviva Premiership new-boys on Saturday as they eased to a 31-6 victory at Welford Road.
Leicester Tigers made easy work of Premiership new-boys on Saturday as they eased to a 31-6 home triumph.
Jordan Crane, Graham Kitchener and Blaine Scully all went over for the Tigers in the first half as they opened up a 17-6 advantage, with Rory Clegg responding for Newcastle.
Further converted scores from Dan Bowden and Thomas Waldrom in the second period sealed the win and continued their solid start to the campaign.
The Tigers have yet to fully ignite this season and went down 27-20 to Bath last week, but they have been hampered by injuries to key players. And with Manu Tuilagi, Toby Flood and Ben Youngs all returning for the visit of Newcastle, it looked an uphill struggle for the newly promoted side from the outset.
That was evident in the opening 15 minutes as Richard Cockerill's men took a 12-0 lead. Firstly, Crane powered over from close-range before a burst from Tuilagi ended in Kitchener touching down, with Flood converting.
But to their credit, the Falcons fought back and Clegg kicked two three-pointers – the second a drop-goal – to reduce the arrears to 12-6.
However, Leicester restored their dominance when Scully scampered across the whitewash for his first Premiership try in a Tigers' shirt to ease them clear at the interval.
Newcastle battled bravely early in the second period but the home side's quality eventually told as Bowden secured the bonus-point.
It got worse for the visitors as Kieran Brookes was sin-binned for a late hit in the lead up to the fourth score, and Waldrom added to Falcons' misery with a fifth try.
The scorers:
For Leicester:
Tries: Crane, Kitchener, Scully, Bowden, Waldrom
Cons: Flood 2, Williams
For Newcastle:
Pens: Clegg
Drop: Clegg
Leicester: 15 Blaine Scully, 14 Vereniki Goneva, 13 Manusamoa Tuilagi, 12 Dan Bowden, 11 Adam Thompstone, 10 Toby Flood (c), 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Jordan Crane, 7 Jamie Gibson, 6 Thomas Waldrom, 5 Graham Kitchener, 4 Ed Slater, 3 Logovi'i Mulipola, 2 Neil Briggs, 1 Boris Stankovich.

"Emery County, a great place to live, work, and play."
A slogan that was created several years ago to promote Emery County.
It is simple and yet so profound.
Hi my name is Steve Kemple I am your write-in candidate for Emery County Commissioner.
I ask for your support on Nov. 4th .
My wife Ruth and I moved to Emery County in 1982 to start and raise our family. I believed then and believe now that there is not a better place in the world to live and raise a family. Ruth and I have raised three children. We have six grandchildren and two on the way. I have a pioneer heritage here. I am a direct descendant of Ann Jewel Rowley and her daughter Jane Rowley, who crossed the plains with the Willy Handcart Company.
With declining revenue and sky rocketing prices, with special interest groups wanting to restrict the use and even close some of our public lands, with limited water availability and slow economic development, our county is facing a great number of challenges.
Our county government cannot afford to be distracted by the troublesome legal issues that have been in recent headline news. We need all of our elected officials focused on the best interest of the county, and working towards a bright and prosperous future for our children and grandchildren.
If elected, I will bring to the table my conservative values and 23 years of experience in county government.
I will work for you, and help move the county forward, so that we can always say that: "Emery County is a great place to live, work, and play."
Twenty three years Emery County Road Department.
Thirteen years supervisor-crew leader.
Ten years county road department safety coordinator.
Nine years county risk management board member, one year vice-chairman, one year chairman.
Emery County addressing committee member.
Ten years Ferron City volunteer fire fighter, three years as an officer.
Certified EMT-I, 11 years Emery County ambulance.
Served in many church leadership positions.
It has been an amazing past few weeks. While I have been campaigning I have met so many of you who are excited about my candidacy. I have been working hard to try to make up for lost time. I am at somewhat of a disadvantage by being a write-in candidate. I do not have a large political party financing my campaign, paying for newspaper ads, buying campaign signs, etc... With the generosity of a few contributors and a rapidly depleting savings account, my wife and I have set out to try to make positive difference in the political scene here in Emery County. We are doing what we believe is the right thing to do, and that is to offer my experience of many years of dealing in, and with county government. Instead of just complaining about what has been going on in the county I decided to try to do something about it, and make a real difference. I believe that our county deserves the very best from their elected officials, and after I am elected I will do just that.
I would like to take the opportunity to dispel a rumor that has been floating around. It has been said that someone, or some group has talked me into running as a write-in candidate, only to take a victory away from one of the other candidates. This is not true. There is not a conspiracy to derail anyone's campaign. I am not trying to take away votes from one in order to help the other. I am serious about being a candidate for the office of county commissioner. I want to be elected for what I have to offer and not for being the lesser of any evils. I have a high regard for both of my opponents. Both of them have served our communities, and have done much good, but I believe that it's time for a change. I am not your typical politician, I am just a blue-collar working man who is tired of hollow promises and agendas that are not in the best interest of the citizens of the county.

If it worked in school, some adults think antagonizing others can make their jobs easier.
In the documentary Bully, filmmakers followed the lives of five students who were bullied on a daily basis.
Many people identified with the kids who were taunted and called names at school, and the film often evoked unpleasant memories for adults who recalled being bullied.
Unfortunately, bullying doesn't end on the playground, Bully producer and writer Cynthia Lowen, says.
COLUMN: Workplace becomes new schoolyard
MORE: Anita Bruzzese's column index
Many adults are victims of bullying bosses or co-workers. And, just as in school, many peers stand by and watch it happen without intervening.
"There needs to be a lot more education about this issue in the workplace," she says. "We can't just put zero-tolerance policies in place — in school or the workplace — without having a comprehensive understanding about bullying."
For example, many people may believe that only the bullying target is made to suffer, but a recent government study of bullying in Swedish workplaces shows that that bullying also harmed witnesses. Specifically, women who were witnesses to the bullying saw an increase of about 33% in clinical depression while male witnesses experienced about a 16% increase.
"Bystanders and the whole organization are involved in the process of bullying behavior, and, in turn, intervention programs should be focused on the whole workplace system," researchers from Sweden's Institute of Environmental Medicine say .
Lowen says most of us as children tried bullying. Those who felt badly about their behavior stopped.
But children who had success as bullies, such as getting what they wanted when they bullied someone else, continue their bullying throughout their childhoods and eventually into the workplace, she says.
"But in the workplace, the stakes are much higher, especially if the person doing the bullying is the boss," she says. "If the person is in power, it may mean that you're not included in email or you lose out on a job or promotion."
A recent CareerBuilder survey finds that 35% of workers say they have been bullied at work, an increase from the 27% reported last year. Nearly half of those workers say their bosses are the ones doing the bullying, and the most common forms of bullying were being falsely blamed for mistakes or ignored.
Lowen is the author of a new book with Cindy Miller called The Essential Guide to Bullying: Prevention and Intervention (ALPHA, $15.95). Lowen says they try to offer several suggestions on how to deal with workplace bullying, such as:
• Teaching conflict resolution. Employees should be trained on how to give appropriate negative feedback and be respectful.
Inappropriate behavior should be confronted and dealt with immediately.
• Knowing what it looks like. Employees should be encouraged to talk about bullying behavior in the workplace.
While it may not be the taunts and shoves associated with schoolyard bullying, the put-downs and deliberate isolation of an employee are indications of bullying behavior that should be identified and stopped.
• Emphasizing individual strengths. Sometimes those lowest on the career ladder in the workplace are the targets of bullies.
But if all employees are allowed to develop their skills and shown respect for their contributions, they're more likely to be self-confident and not become the target.
Those who are bullying targets often are so miserable that they quit their jobs or are forced to leave because they've developed physical ailments related to the stress of being bullied and can no longer work, reports the Workplace Bullying Institute. The problem is especially acute for single working parents, it says.
Lowen says she herself was the victim of some bullying in school although not to the degree that the children in her film received.
"I think we're just beginning to understand how pervasive bullying really is," she says, "and that it can follow us from school into the workplace."

The Emery County Commissioners heard a presentation by Val Payne concerning the Buckhorn pumphouse. The pumphouse has been used by cattlemen in the area for many years and it's been located at the intersection on the Buckhorn road. At this intersection there will now be an information center along with the new restrooms which are already installed. There will be a spot for a camp host where information and directions for visitors will be given. Informational kiosks will be in place to educate visitors on the history of the region.
Payne is concerned that with the new improvements to the site, the historical pumphouse would be torn down and discarded. He views the pumphouse as an important part of the history of the Swell and a cultural and historic piece of history. He would like to incorporate the pumphouse into the visitor's center. He would like a kiosk explaining how the pump worked and the history of grazing on the Swell. This would help educate visitors to the importance of grazing on the Swell. Payne said the Bureau of Land Management is receptive to the idea, but they don't have any money to contribute to the project.
The pumphouse would be on display with half the original building in place so it would show the pump jack. The historic door would also be on display. Old time cowboys signed and dated the door and those historic signatures are still visible. When the pump was run by gasoline, the cowboys would take turns maintaining the pump and keeping it filled with gasoline so it would keep pumping water. They would visit the pump before and after their shifts in the coal mine so the pump would keep pumping the water for the cows in the area. This intersection has been a popular gathering place for cattle.
With the new troughs which are off the road a ways it is hoped the cattle won't gather in the roadways.
Payne said the building will need to be dismantled and stored throughout the winter and he hopes it would be ready for display by next Easter.
Payne said they will request funds from the historical preservation committee and will accept any financial donations from interested parties.
In October there will be a grand opening of the Buckhorn Information Center.
In other commission business a change order was approved for the Buckhorn Information Center. The BLM wanted a change in the picnic tables located at the information center and they will cover the costs. The project is expected to be completed this week. There will also be a rock barrier installed by the BLM.
The commission will advertise for a mid-term vacancy on the Castle Valley Special Service District board due to the death of long-time member Tom Humphrey.
The commission appointed Mike McCandless to serve on the Friends of State Parks board of directors. McCandless said this organization has been around for a long time. Five state parks were targeted for closure and the Green River State Park was among those. This group works to restore funding and places emphasis on the state parks. They are working to avoid closure of any state park.
McCandless said there is a group working with Millsite State Park to make improvements there, it's the Southeastern Utah OHV group and they have adopted Millsite State Park.
The county approved the tax abatements for indigent, disabled Veterans and circuit breaker. One of the indigent applications was held out for further review.
Dixie Thompson asked for assistance in having the sidewalk on Bott Lane kept free of snow and ice during the winter. She said there are several walkers that use that route. Commissioner Jeff Horrocks agreed that it needs to be maintained and they will look at options for doing that. The road department is kept very busy in the winter clearing snow from all the county owned building parking lots and county roads and they don't have time to add another project. So the commissioners will look at contracting out the snow removal from county owned sidewalks. The money for this to take place will have to be included in the 2012 budget.
In the commission reports Commissioner James Nelson thanked Castle Dale for their purchase of the old forest service home and corral and for their plans for the fairgrounds. They are planning to remove the old home and find a place for a new pavilion and a permanent stage. "I commend Castle Dale for their efforts," said Nelson. He also commented on the Peach Days celebration which was nice.
Commissioner Horrocks reported the work on Little Wild Horse road has been completed. Nielson Construction is working on the Reeder Sub-division road and the Emery County fire district has plans to keep a fire truck up there. Horrocks reported on the meetings in Green River with the tourism board and the friends of State Parks and ideas discussed to bring Green River Golf Course into profitability. Some of the people who worked on the Millsite Golf Course will help work with Green River.
Commissioner Horrocks said the commissioners were involved in a conference call with Juan Palma the state BLM director. The commission is working through all the steps required to try to get the Emery County Land Use Bill before Congress. It was reported SUWA has issued a response to the Emery County Lands use bill and they didn't like it.
The Back Country flyers will fly into the Huntington Airport on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1. They will have a bbq at Cedar Mountain air strip on Friday evening and breakfast at the airport on Saturday. There will be at least 50 aircraft and people are invited to bring their antique cars to the airport on Oct. 1 also. County residents are welcome to come to the airport and see all the aircraft that weekend.
Oct. 8 is a steak dinner for the Republicans at the Museum of the San Rafael.
Tina Carter reported the state office of tourism stayed in Green River this past week for two days and 20 people stayed in Green River motels and ate in the restaurants and supported the economy. Local businesses donated items for the tourism board. The next commission meeting will be on Sept. 27 at 9 a.m.

Why'd they do THAT???
That is SO sad!!!
I'm just SURE you'll be ACCEPTED with open arms: Someday...
They succeeded in killing Joseph, but he had finished his work.He was a servant of God, and gave us the Book of Mormon.He said the Bible was right in the main, but, through the translators and others, many precious portions were suppressed, and several other portions were wrongly translated; and now his testimony is in force, for he has sealed it with his blood.As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.Who has made this so?Have I?Have this people?Have the world?No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.If I ever pass into the heavenly courts, it will be by the consent of the Prophet Joseph.If you ever pass through the gates into the Holy City, you will do so upon his certificate that you are worthy to pass.Can you pass without his inspection?No; neither can any person in this dispensation, which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.In this generation, and in all the generations that are to come, everyone will have to undergo the scrutiny of this Prophet.They say that they killed Joseph, and they will yet come with their hats under their arms and bend to him; but what good will it do them, unless they repent?They can come in a certain way and find favor, but will they?

The shiny one near Kolob?
|Joseph Smith Explanation[52]
|Explanation by non-Mormon and Mormon Egyptologists (quotes are from Deveria)[25][43][53]
|Kolob, signifying the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. The measurement according to celestial time, which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth, which is called by the Egyptians Jah-oh-eh.
|"The spirit of the four elements (according to Champollion), or rather of the four winds, or the four cardinal points; the soul of the terrestrial world. This god is always represented with four rams' heads, and his image has certainly been altered here. They have also evidently made a very clumsy attempt at copying the double human head of the god figured above, fig. 2, instead of the four rams' heads. The word Jah-oh-eh has nothing Egyptian in it; it resembles the Hebrew word [redacted] badly transcribed." (emphasis in original) The name hieroglyph above the central figure is Chnm-Re, the Egyptian "First Creator" god who organized everything out of the primordial chaos.
"'Wed knock on the door and theyd insult us.'"
That is not an unusual greeting for Mormon Missionaries. It happens all over the world. Rock-throwing, spewing evil hate-filled language - and that's from many so-called "Christians".
That being said, I am against illegal immigration. I see where the LDS Church is trying its best to reach out to its members without law-breaking. This is one of the appeals of the LDS Church - supporting and loving its members. The Catholic Church does the same thing - but with more enthusiasm toward illegals.
Have a great day.
...uhhhh...aiding and encouraging these law-breaking illegals IS "law breaking".
Sending KNOWN illegal aliens on missions by church authorities to areas where they may not be checked for citizenship instead of turning them over for illegal entry is being complicit with law-breakers.
But, of course, that's an "appeal of the mormon church"...church first, laws of nations/states way down the line.
The hypocrisy in your statement makes me vomit.
You are joking right.....where is the obligatory "they threw a glass of water on me".
SLC lds are NOT trying to stop illegals - period.
Are you really Saundra?
You got 50 more to read!
When you get to #51; please take time to explain your chosen religion's leaders statements to a modern world that awaits MORMON love.
Have a Nice Eternity.
While the world sees that the SLC branch of Mormonism will EXCOMMUNICATE any members that actually FOLLOW law: their GOD's law - POLYGAMY - found in D&C 132.
Unless one of them DARES to question ANY decision made from on high!
I doubt it; as D13 is a Saint compared to her!
"That is not an unusual greeting for Mormon Missionaries. It happens all over the world. Rock-throwing, spewing evil hate-filled language - and thats from many so-called Christians."
Even worse than all of that is CHRIST who also condemned false religions, like mormonism, in even WORSE language!!
Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
Matthew 15:8-9 "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Matthew 24:4-5, 24, "See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect."
See Also...
Mark 13:21-22
Luke 11:52
Matthew 16:6-12
Matthew 23:15
I do believe that. I know a lady that didn't find out until recently that her parents were here illegally for over 40 years. Her parents lied to the children about getting citizenship and many other things like where her father worked and that the house they thought was owned by the parents was actually rented. Now that the parents are elderly and the children are helping them with finances it has all come out. Strange thing is her parents could have became citizens under the last amnesty, they did qualify but for some odd reason didn't do it.
When you set out to do something illegal you don't necessarily tell even your own children the truth. The one thing most people don't understand is once people come here illegally, lies and more illegal acts pretty much have to follow.
"The hypocrisy in your statement makes me vomit."
" . . . I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."
We had a perfectly lovely Sacrament service this morning. Walked around Temple Square yesterday - oh, how beautiful - tulips, jonquils, and the most glorious array of colorful flowers one has ever seen. Saw lovely families loving each other. There is no other place on earth so glorious as far as I am concerned.
God bless you.
There are many great LDS Missionaries FROM Mexico who come here to serve, help, love and spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It would be sad if angry hate-filled people were rude to them here in America. Again, Jesus Christ is Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and soon-coming King. Amen.
"Have a Nice Eternity."
Thanks, I plan to. My hope is in Him, my Savior Jesus Christ, my Advocate with the Father.
"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us . . . Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."
Does your heart not burn within you? Mine does. Wishing you the very best.
I wish you would quote from LDS Scriptures rather than plow through other writings that are not accepted as Scripture by my Church. Of course, your quotes fit your agenda. How sad.
Do any of them bother to come here legally? With visas, etc? That would be a real change.
The "good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" has nothing to do with Joseph Smith's lies....there was no need of any "restoration".
"Are you really Saundra?"
She was banned/zotted.
Just under a different name I see.
Elsie is quoting your "prophets". Are you disavowing the words of the very oracles of the father?.
Reincarnation is not unusual on FR especially among LDS hacks...
"Are you disavowing the words of the very oracles of the father?."
Prophets are/were men. There was only One who ever lived on this earth who was perfect - Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
My point is that the anti-MormonISM folk on this site continue to dredge up so-called quotes and comments which are not accepted as LDS Scripture. It is underhanded, tricky, and sneaky.
I sure you would!
Especially when QUOTES from your chosen religions LEADERS show such animosity and rancor.
Ok; here is some of your 'scripture':
The Doctrine and Covenants
Section 132Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded 12 July 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant, and also the plurality of wives (see History of the Church, 5:5017). Although the revelation was recorded in 1843, it is evident from the historical records that the doctrines and principles involved in this revelation had been known by the Prophet since 1831....5866, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
58 Now, as touching the law of the apriesthood, there are many things pertaining thereunto.
59 Verily, if a man be called of my Father, as was aAaron, by mine own voice, and by the voice of him that bsent me, and I have endowed him with the ckeys of the power of this priesthood, if he do anything in my name, and according to my law and by my word, he will not commit dsin, and I will justify him.
60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God.
61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthoodif any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse aanother, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.
62 And if he have aten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.
63 But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to amultiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be bglorified.
64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those who receive and abide in my law.
65 Therefore, it shall be lawful in me, if she receive not this law, for him to receive all things whatsoever I, the Lord his God, will give unto him, because she did not believe and administer unto him according to my word; and she then becomes the transgressor; and he is exempt from the law of Sarah, who administered unto Abraham according to the law when I commanded Abraham to take aHagar to wife.
66 And now, as pertaining to this law, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will reveal more unto you, hereafter; therefore, let this suffice for the present. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega. Amen.
If this is SO; how can you IGNORE what #52 has shown?
Are you disavowing your past Living Prophets words?
As I have frequently told them, no man in this dispensation will enter the courts of heaven, without the approbation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jun.No; but the Lord Jehovah has decreed it.Brigham Young,
mean NOTHING to you?
Do you know WHY?
Prophets are/were men. There was only One who ever lived on this earth who was perfect - Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet, for our salvation depends on them.
1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say Thus Saith the Lord, to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by mens reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidencythe highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidencythe living prophet and the First Presidencyfollow them and be blessedreject them and suffer.
I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captainhow close do our lives harmonize with the Lords anointedthe living ProphetPresident of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.
Ezra Taft Benson

I hate when stuff like that happens.
But; it DOES give those, whose chosen religious organization's teachings are EXPOSED, a chance to post what they've been taught as the 'truth' in rebuttal.
"You already know MORE about God and Christ and the plan of salvation than any who would ATTACK you."
Here is a chance for YOU to show your tremendous knowledge instead of complaining about perceived unfairness.
So called?
Are you asserting they are UNTRUE?
You wouldn't be the first MORMON to claim such; only to find out they were misinformed by their chosen religious organization, when they did the small amount of work needed to actually verify the accuracy of the quotes.
Your church's Practice and it's Scripture seem to be misaligned in many places...
12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.
From your churches' very on web site:
Words of Our Living Prophets
In addition to these four books of scripture, the inspired words of our living prophets become scripture to us. Their words come to us through conferences, the Liahona or Ensign magazine, and instructions to local priesthood leaders. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God (Articles of Faith 1:9).
So as I was saying, are you throwing your "prophets" under the bus in order to make a weak argument...
Please show me which quotes are untrue, thank you
Well; the PROPHETS have thrown their GOD under the bus; so this is a piddling affair.
To Whom It May Concern:
Press dispatches having been sent for political purposes, from Salt Lake City, which have been widely published, to the effect that the Utah Commission, in their recent report to the Secretary of the Interior, allege that plural marriages are still being solemnized and that forty or more such marriages have been contracted in Utah since last June or during the past year, also that in public discourses the leaders of the Church have taught, encouraged and urged the continuance of the practice of polygamy
I, therefore, as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, do hereby, in the most solemn manner, declare that these charges are false. We are not teaching polygamy or plural marriage, nor permitting any person to enter into its practice, and I deny that either forty or any other number of plural marriages have during that period been solemnized in our Temples or in any other place in the Territory.
One case has been reported, in which the parties allege that the marriage was performed in the Endowment House, in Salt Lake City, in the Spring of 1889, but I have not been able to learn who performed the ceremony; whatever was done in this matter was without my knowledge. In consequence of this alleged occurrence the Endowment House was, by my instructions, taken down without delay.
Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages, which laws have been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort, I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws, and to use my influence with the members of the Church over which I preside to have them do likewise.
There is nothing in my teachings to the Church or in those of my associates, during the time specified, which can be reasonably construed to inculcate or encourage polygamy; and when any Elder of the Church has used language which appeared to convey any such teaching, he has been promptly reproved. And I now publicly declare that my advice to the Latter-day Saints is to refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by the law of the land.
President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
President Lorenzo Snow offered the following:
I move that, recognizing Wilford Woodruff as the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the only man on the earth at the present time who holds the keys of the sealing ordinances, we consider him fully authorized by virtue of his position to issue the Manifesto which has been read in our hearing, and which is dated September 24th, 1890, and that as a Church in General Conference assembled, we accept his declaration concerning plural marriages as authoritative and binding.
The vote to sustain the foregoing motion was unanimous.
Salt Lake City, Utah, October 6, 1890.
Hebrews 11:35-40
35. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
36. Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison.
37. They were stoned ; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated--
38. the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
~ Wilford Woodruff, 4th LDS President
The quotes are acurate and in context, look them up. They are also from LDS sources. Mormonism is its own worst enemy.
She asked for it (literally). She wasn't banned, she opused out, but she keeps lying and saying she was run off the page.
You can ask JR.
Oh, she knows...why she is no longer here under the other name
