By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The Emery High boy's basketball team finished 2011 with a win and now they have started 2012 with two victories in three games including a hard fought overtime victory over the Carbon Dinos. Emery defeated Carbon on Saturday night in the Spartan Center before a big basketball crowd by the score of 59-58.
Last week also saw the Spartans start the New Year off right with a road win at Union High by the score of 63-54. Emery also began play in Region 15 as they traveled to Monroe to face the number one ranked team in 2-A basketball, the South Sevier Rams. The defending champions defeated Emery 76-55.
The Carbon-Emery game started off with Emery shooting free throw shots due to a pregame technical the Dinos got during warm-ups. Emery promptly missed both shots. After starting with missed free throws and then a couple of turnovers, Emery battled the Dinos throughout the first quarter only to see Carbon lead 12-9 after the period.
Emery then responded with a technical of their own and Carbon started the second quarter off with a pair of free throws, which they made. After Carbon started the period on a 4-2 run, Emery finished the period on 19-5 run to lead at the half 30-21. Senior Dallon Cologie scored 13 points for the Spartans in the period to spark the effort. Emery played well in the period as most things went their way.
In period three, Emery and Carbon battled to a 5-5 tie with the period half over. Carbon player Derek Young re-entered the game after having sat with three personal fouls at the 4:35 mark. Young scored nine straight points as the Dinos scored the final 15 points of the period and the Dinos led 39-35 going into quarter four.
In the final period Cologie hit a 3-pointer to start the quarter, Curtis Mason made a free throw and Logan Tuttle made a basket and Emery jumped back in front 41-40. Carbon scored the next four points as the two teams jostled the rest of the period for the lead.
With 2:20 left in regulation, Brendon Jorgensen hit a 3-point shot for Emery to tie the score at 50-50. The Dinos turned the ball over on their next possession with 1:32 left. At the 1:01 mark, Cologie drove the lane and dished the ball to Corbin Barnett for an easy basket, if anything could be easy at this point in the game. Emery led 52-50. With 10 seconds left in the game, Young scored for Carbon to tie the score at 52-52 and when Emery missed a final desperation shot the game went to overtime.
In overtime, Carbon made a free throw followed by Cologie scoring for Emery and Emery led 54-53. Jorgensen hit a free throw followed by Jordan Blanc hitting a free throw for Carbon. At 1:18 Barnett received another pass from Cologie and he scored and Emery led 57-54. At 48.1 Cologie made one of two free throws, at 24.9 Carbon made one of two free throws, at 21 Cologie again made one of two free throws and Emery led 59-55. Carbon made a free throw with three seconds left and then scored a basket as Emery threw the inbounds pass away and Emery won 59-58.
The game was closely officiated as both teams saw numerous players foul out of the contest. The game was actually won (or lost) at the free throw line. Emery shot a not very good 19 for 32 but Carbon shot an even worse percentage as they only made 21 shots in 45 attempts.
Cologie led Emery with 30 points followed by Jorgensen with 12 points. Blanc led Carbon with 18 points and Young finished with 12 points. Also scoring for Emery were Jordon Cox and Corbin Barnett with four points each, Dillon Wilstead and Logan Tuttle with three points each, Dawson Jensen with two points and Curtis Mason with one point. Also scoring for Carbon were Nick Haycock and Tanner Gagnon with nine points each, Dillon Manzanares with five points, Dakota Cisneros with three points and Clay Finkbiner with two points.
In Emery's win over Union, Union led 19-8 after the first quarter but then the game was all Emery as the Spartans won period two 23-13, period three 17-10 and the final period 16-12. Cologie scored 18 points; Jensen added 15 points and Barnett scored 11 points. Wilstead added seven points; Jorgensen scored five points and Cox scored four points.
Against the heavily favored Rams in Monroe, Emery got down early and basically stayed there the whole game. Emery trailed by 11 points after the first quarter and by 20 points at the half and after three periods before losing by 21 points in the game.
Dawson Jensen led Emery with 18 points with Logan Tuttle scoring 10 points. Cologie, Cox and Jorgensen each scored seven points in the game. Curtis Mason scored five points with Wilstead scoring two points and Barnett scoring one point.
Emery is on the road twice this week as they travel to Richfield on Wednesday and then to Grand on Saturday.

CHICKASHA – The Drovers had a great week last week but were not able to deliver a win when it came to conference-rival Oklahoma City.
The Stars defeated both USAO teams Tuesday in Chickasha.
The Drover men played their first game missing senior David Otieno, who injured his knee in a Friday contest against Tabor College. The game was deadlocked until the 74th minute when Francis Malalou sent the ball past Drover goalkeeper Ryan Mcentee, who had three saves Tuesday.
With the momentum shifted in their favor, the Stars scored on a penalty kick just five minutes later.
The Drovers had 15 shots – six of which were on goal – in the game, but they were not able to get a goal past the tough Star defense and lost the game 2-0.
The Drover women could not defeat the Stars either. They gave up a goal in the first half to OCU's Blerta Rashica. The teams continued to battle through midfield for shooting opportunities, and two other Stars netted goals within minutes of each other in the second half. The Drovers were not able to recover and lost their second game 3-0.
Goalkeeper Nikki Thomas had three saves in the game. Both USAO and OCU had 12 shots in the game.
The Drover women are now 4-2-1 overall and 0-1 in conference play. The men are 6-1 and 0-1 in the conference. They take on their next conference opponent on Friday, with the women beginning at 1 p.m. and the men following at 3 p.m.

Z Man Zinkerz 6pk
As versatile as they are productive, the Z Man ZinkerZ feature a super tough, salt impregnated ElaZtech body designed to sink slowly and provide a tantalizing fluttering action on the fall. Rig them straight, Texas, Carolina, Wacky or on a drop shot, the Z Man ZinkerZ do everything that other sinking soft plastic stick baits do - except for tearing apart after one fish.
What separates Elaztech plastics from other soft plastics is their life-like action, natural buoyancy and unmatched durability. Elaztech baits not only look great, they are also up to 10X tougher than other plastics. They resist nicks, cuts and tears, and that means you're likely to catch a lot more fish on Elaztech before having to replace them.
For some On the Water Pro Tipz from Bassmaster Elite Series pro, Luke Clausen on fishing the Z-Man Zinkerz - click on the Product Video icon below the main image.
Do not mix Elaztech baits with standard plastic baits.
Please Note: Some packaging may say bait length is 6-inches. This is a typo - actual length is 5-inches.

Customer Reviews
Comments: These didn't survive the heat! I got several bags put them on the boat and in the heat they melted together and flattened out. Not even in direct sunlight. No other baits did this. Out my money.
From: Joe: Wenatchee, WA 8/25/15
Comments: Love Zinkerz, used very successfully wacky rigged when sight fishing in the spring.
From: Brad: KS
Comments: On the up side, they work extremely well when wacky rigged since they are much more resistant to tearing off the hook after repeated strikes, and they have an excellent shimmy action on the drop. On the down side, they are so tough it is virtually impossible to screw them onto the twist lock of an Owner hook to keep them from sliding down when rigged Texas style. I achieve the best results with the two tone laminates that simulate the color patterns of prey fish, which also are darker on top and lighter on the bottom.

Comments: too lazy to cut one (haha) in half and do all that, BUT...wacky rig it and dropshot it. Or fire it out there on a heavy cackly-lacky rig, and WAIT while it floats up off the bottom after the weight settles. Oh, there are many more ways to fish this but I am getting tired of doing all the work for you.
From: meatwad: where the beer flows like wine
Comments: I was skeptical at first, but after following the suggestions of cutting in half and rigging on a leadhead, I am sold. Crappie, bass, bluegill, carp, drum, rainbows, and channel cat have fallen victim to this bait. I have some trouble with them sliding down the hook if I texas rig it, but an exceptional all around bait. Without a doubt has become one of my top 3 go to baits
From: Chris: Overland Park, KS
Comments: The Zinker is an awesome bait, not only largemouth bass, but is a true multi species bait for walleye, crappie, drum and catfish. A typical rigging is to cut the 5" Zinker in-half, then split the "tail" into four tentacles inserting the jig hook into the bait as one would a tube or reversed with "tentacles" forward. By far the most durable plastic bait I've seen in my 50 years of fishing. The fish seem to latch onto it and refuse to let go!
From: Dave: Topeka, KS
Comments: Dynamite finesse bait when cut in half and rigged on a 1/16oz head like the Outkast Money head. On 6# fluorocarbon this is a hard to beat rig for putting keepers in the boat. Holds up better than a Senko or Dinger, Zeros will work but these are a bit softer.
From: Dave: KS
Comments: Each of these baits will literally last for a whole day until you take them off of the hook. Great money savers.

For your information, my marshmallow would NEVER!!!
No I can't. I can't do this. I'm your Cylon, that's like your main bitch and I fully support bros before … Uhhhhh "Not bros." I can't help it I love and adore K Bell. Don't judge me? Like Reno gets Katy Perry, I get Kristen Bell. Who do you want to claim? We can be adults about this love!
Let's just talk about how much we need a picture of Gary Busey and his army of squirrels chasing LeAnn through the streets of Nashville..ReplyCancel
@riven.. that's okay you can love k bell. i never paid her any attn until she and dax went on her pedorazzi rant weeks before her crowdfunded movie opened. i never heard of cylon before, i thought you meant clone yesterday but we can be both. i am just trying to figure out the actress who doesn't want to eat to have another baby. i'm not sure which actress i get all defensive over. i guess we'll just have to wait until someone says something that rubs me the wrong way too and i'll 4 sure let you knowReplyCancel

Miranda looks like she's busting for a wee.

I know she's fucked up her face but she's not ice cold – she was just reserved. Ok..enough with my Kidman defense.ReplyCancel
I couldn't figure out how to describe the pose Lambert is doing. Going to wee is perfect.
I don't like Carrie Underwood's gown.
Skipping on Kidman and Urban.
What does it mean that I think that's the best LeeAnn has looked in a very long time?
Kristen Bell could do a llot better. The gown is too stiff and formal and she did nothing to her hair. Get thee to a stylist.
And Kristen take Beth Behr's with you.
John Legend writes and plays great music. He's just weird.ReplyCancel

A 79th-minute penalty saw the Hurricanes grab their first win of the Super Rugby season as they edged the Lions 30-28 on Friday.
A 79th-minute penalty saw the Hurricanes grab their first win of the Super Rugby season as they edged the Lions 30-28 in Johannesburg on Friday.
A topsy-turvy encounter full of positive intent and running rugby from both sides saw the lead change hands no less than eight times.
The first 40 minutes of a highly-entertaining clash ended with the Hurricanes 14-8 ahead.
The Lions overturned a nine-point deficit on the hour mark to lead by a single point with ten minutes left on the clock, but the dying moments saw Butch James turn from hero to villain as he gave away a penalty just minutes after scoring what looked to have been the winning try.
The Lions have become masters of providing the Ellis Park crowd with tight finishes and the home side will rue a number of missed chances that could well have handed them a second win in as many weeks.
The hosts had hoped to ply the pressure at scrum time but uncontested scrums from late in the first half due to injuries to the Lions props (JC Janse van Rensburg and CJ van der Linde) allowed the Hurricanes the ideal platform to attack.
Beauden Barrett opened the scoring for the Hurricanes from the kicking tee but the Lions were first to cross the whitewash when Jaco Taute found his way into the corner and the TMO gave his effort the rubber stamp.
Barrett handed the advantage back to the visitors only for Taute to reply by finding the target with a long-range penalty to put the Lions back in front.
The closing minutes of the half belonged to the Hurricanes however as the visitors grabbed the opportunity afforded by the uncontested scrums and increased their lead to six points just before the break thanks to an excellent finish in the corner by full-back Andre Taylor.
Elton Jantjies and Barrett exchanged penalties early in the second half to leave the status quo but the Lions were next to cross the chalk as Franco van der Merwe crashed over from short range.
Jantjies made no mistake with the easy conversion to put the Lions back in front by a single point at 18-17.
But the reply from the 'Canes was almost immediate as Conrad Smith showed some neat soccer skills with a ball spilt by the Lions to set up speeding hooker Dane Coles.
Just two minutes later Cory Jane was also over in the corner after chasing Barrett's chip ahead. The visiting fly-half missed both conversions but the Lions had nevertheless seen their lead turn into a nine-point deficit in less than five minutes.
Jantjies put the Lions back within striking distance with his second penalty before James muscled his way past two defenders to score.
The conversion put the Lions 28-27 up but the 'Canes would have the last laugh, building steadily with their forwards through 18 phases until finally winning the penalty for off-side in front of the sticks.
20-year-old Barrett made amends for his earlier misses to give Mark Hammett's team their first win of the campaign.
The scorers:
For Lions:
Tries: Taute, Van der Merwe, James
Cons: Jantjies 2
Pens: Taute, Jantjies 2
For Hurricanes:
Tries: Taylor, Coles, Jane
Pens: Barrett 5

Bumpity bump.
I'm going to go with Gibson, specifically the Les Paul. Heavy, chunky, one of the classic designs, and of course comes from the mind of the great man himself, a latter day Leonardo.
I like the creamy sound of the bridge pickup with the tone rolled off, I like that it hurts your shoulder, I like the history and the fact that it's old school, and I like the fact that it has no tremolo bar, any noise that can't be made with your fingers alone is part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor.
There's a Strat kicking about the house, but it's a three humbucker job with a rosewood fretboard, so it's hardly got a classic Fender sound. I love Telecasters though.
PRS, Parkers and so on I ain't got, but I would in instant if I had money.
Basses... Meh, it's a bass, who cares?
EDIT: I take it Ibanez getting so many votes because of their endorsees? They do have pretty much everybody. Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, even Marty these days.

Company: Brine Lacrosse / Product: Houdini HS Head / Price: $79.99
The new Brine Houdini HS hearkens back to a day before 3″ throats existed in the college game, back to like 2005 when the Brine E3 was king of the field for both attackmen and midfielders. Created by former Duke standout attackman Ned Crotty–who is notorious for using the Brine Voyce in college and on Team USA–this new offense-driven head is the next in the deep, sudden offset design many attackmen love.
After using the Rabil X for a few weeks now, a head that I believe is carving out the future of head design, it was nice to see that some of the nation's best players still value the things us attackmen looked for in a head 8 or more years ago. Let's take a gander, shall we?
Appearance… +7.5
I think doing the Houdini HS review back to back with the Rabil X review is a perfect example of two new heads coming to market that, despite each being created by a high-powered offensive player, clearly reflect different values players have when it comes to the design of their head.
The Houdini has a throwback feel. Where the Rabil has a progressive offset that drops evenly over the bottom 2 inches of the head, the Houdini has a deep, sudden offset that drops off completely in the bottom half-inch of the head, right above the ball stop. It gives the ball that weighted feeling that allows attackmen in particular to really know where the ball sits in their pocket and feel confident throwing fakes and feeds.
As far as aesthetics go, this head comes in a matte finish which looks really dope on the right shaft. I had just received a brand new Epoch Dragonfly E30 shaft that also came in matte black, so for me the pairing was an obvious choice. I have an all white stick in the Rabil/Dragonfly E30 combo, now I have a matte black stick in the Houdini/Dragonfly E30 combo. The sidewall design features two sets of paired beams emanating from the front wall, splitting, and moving toward the back. And to top it all off, Brine garnished this head with the King logo they've featured on many of their 2013 products. All in all a very clean look, but in a design Brine has only done twice, first in the E3, then the Voyce, now the Houdini.
Stringing… +7.5
Every once in a while you come across a head that's seemingly doing everything right, and then you just wish there were one more hole in the sidewall. This is that head for me, but when you consider Ned Crotty's pocket in relationship to mine, I totally get why.
Crotty rocks a mid to high pocket that doubles up diamonds pretty much right in the middle of the sidewall. Mine doubles down in the lower third for a lower, carrying pocket. The hole I wish I had would be right between the 7th and 8th holes in the sidewall; the 7th I can't pull my 3rd diamond down far enough, and the 8th pulls it way too far. However, if I was stringing this for Ned, I'd double up earlier and the holes would be right where they need to be for his pocket to bag out where he likes it.
I just have a hard time understanding why some heads have only 13 holes (Houdini HS) while some have 19 or more (Rabil X). If we're not sacrificing structural integrity, why not just Sarah Palin and drill, baby drill?
Stiffness… +10.0
This is a well thought out head in the stiffness department. It is super rigid at the bottom of the head, near the throat. Getting it to wiggle up at the scoop is actually pretty easy, but if you watch how the head bends, it wiggles to about halfway down the head and the bottom is totally still. I imagine this was an important engineering point because the scoop is also flat and wide to make ground balls as easy as possible. This is a shape the Houdini does NOT share with the Rabil X.
This Houdini head is stiff when the ball is in your pocket, yet able to move with you when the ball hits the deck. This definitely isn't a face-off head, but not because it isn't stiff enough.
Durability… +10.0
Contrary to popular belief, durability doesn't have a lot to do with stiffness. They're definitely correlated, but not directly. Reebok makes some of the stiffest heads on the market and (SPOILER ALERT) we have more broken Reebok heads at HQ than any other brand. Durability is about a head's capacity to maintain its shape over a multiple seasons without warping or breaking. Although I haven't exactly put the Houdini through the ringer yet, this head is beefy enough to give me a lot of confidence.
The specific area on this head that gives me confidence in its durability is the throat. A steep offset used to be a structural red flag in some heads. It was often where plastic broke or stringing holes popped open because companies were having a hard time making the throat stiff enough to counter the additional force a steep offset throat incurred. You can feel the strength of the sidewall design (at least at the bottom) pushing back against applied force. I think this head will go a long way for the attackman who takes care of his stick/pocket.
Value… +10.0
Usually this is where I have to dock points. The heads we get are often the newest and shiniest, which means they're being marketed heavily and the price reflects it. Yeah, well the Houdini HS is $79.99.
That puts this head well within the reach of the high school attackman trying to step his game up. If you're having cradling issues, and you're still using the head your friend gave you to try lacrosse, go to the store and give this one a try. I wouldn't necessarily say that about heads upwards of $100 because why try something you know you can't afford? PLUS you can stall balls on the sidewalls nicely, which I'd pay at least an extra $5 for!
Overall… +8.8/10
This is a 10-year-old design concept but much improved and a whole lot prettier. Taking it out made me miss my couple seasons with an E3. This head is perfect for the attackman trying to put his stickwork together with his footwork because the steep offset eliminates some of the simpler cradling mistakes allowing us to focus on how we're approaching our defenseman one on one.
I think this head represents an important stepping stone every attackman should take. When I was in high school, every offensive player tried an E3 at least once. By the time I got to college, half of our attackmen had a Voyce in their bag. I think many of you are going to find this head a welcome addition to Brine's 2013 line up, especially if you like heads with a matte finish.

I really don't see why people freak out about RWD/FWD/AWD. I mean, sure, AWD is nice to have during the winter, but I have no problems driving a small VW Polo (not on the US market, but it's smaller than the Golf) with FWD and a 60-70 bhp engine during the Norwegian winter. We have a quite steep hill up to our neighborhood, and during the winter there's a lot of hard-packet snow there. Obviously we use snow tires, but I've seen AWD cars get stuck there, and then driven past them. It's about how you drive, and not what you drive when it comes to snow.

Everything is open. You can ski around all of Red Lodge Mountain, from Lodge Trail to Columbine, from Nichols Peak to Lower Miami Beach. It's the time to explore runs we seldom ski because of limitations, our own or the snow's. This year, with plenty of snow, there are no excuses.
That's what got me to the face of Black Powder. It's a run that has everything, most of it in view from the Cole Creek chairlift. The snow was thick and soft. The top is almost like a meadow with a deceptively gradual drop that ends at this very, very, very steep face. It took a few wide turns, some second thoughts and sideslips, and a few good turns to get down it. Blessedly short, it ends at a left turn into a twisty narrow chute. The chute is easy compared to the face, which looks more manageable from the lift. When I tell our friend Bob Nickoloff that I got down a run but couldn't say I skied it, he always asks, "Were you on skis?" I was definitely on skis. There was no other way out, and it was a thrill.
When strong winds close the upper mountain, we ski the little runs that don't get our attention but should, like Chase's which often turns to ice and Big Fred's, a grown-up Rabbit Trails. We ski to the views that sneak up on us, coming at the end of the track to Royal's where the Crazies loom impossibly close, and all the gulches in between are traced with snow.
On weekdays, we glide down Meeteetse Trail and #4 Road when both are empty, lined with trees and silence, and the only disturbance is the blue flash of a Steller's Jay. It's hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

My washing machine and laundry tub currently empty into a floor drain in the basement. Since the floor drain is trapped, and connected to the house sewer, everything ends up where it is supposed to.
My question is, is this okay or do I need to run a new drain line over to my main stack? If it is okay, what is the proper way to do an indirect drain? The current setup has a pipe sticking down the throat of the floor drain, but something tells me that ain't right...
We don't do inspections around here, so I'm just looking for a safe and effective way to do this, preferably a code-approved way, just on general principles.

Canandaigua lacrosse standout Lauren D'Amore is a state finalist for Wendy's High School Heisman
Canandaigua Academy lacrosse standout Lauren D'Amore is one of 20 state finalists and the only from the Rochester area for the Wendy's High School Heisman Award, which will announce one male and one female winner in each state on Friday. Twelve of those winners will be considered for the national award, which is in its 19th year. Winners will be announced Dec. 7 in New York City and be recognized during ESPN's Dec. 8 broadcast of college football's Heisman Trophy winner. National finalists also receive gold medals and $2,000 for their high schools. Each winner receives a trophy, $500 gift certificate to Wendy's and the restaurant will donate $10,000 to each winner's high school. D'Amore and twin sister Kendall have verbally committed to the University of Pennsylvania for lacrosse. Both helped lead the Braves to the Section V Class B championship and a state runner-up finish last spring. Lauren is also on the cross country team, which is a sectional contender this fall, and plays basketball. The Wendy's award recognizes outstanding seniors who excel in athletics, academics and community leadership. Of the 45,000 seniors who applied nationwide, 1,241 applicants were from New York.

Skip to comments.Study: 'Toxic Perfectionism' Major Part of LDS Women's Depression
Posted on 02/14/2013 3:33:33 PM PST by fattigermaster
OREM Striving for perfection may be driving some female members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to depression, one researcher says.
Utah Valley University professor Kris Doty looked at depression among LDS women, finding that "toxic perfectionism" was one major factor of depression reported by the group. The other four factors, Doty found, were genetics, history of abuse, family relationships and feeling judged by others.
Over a one-year period, Doty and her colleagues looked at clinically diagnosed depressed women who identified as LDS. Seven of the women were using multiple medications to treat their depression, 19 were on only one medication and 10 had participated in therapy. Women in the study said the church's teachings about perfection led to painful misinterpretations wherein many women believed they could not make mistakes. This belief, Doty said, caused them to "become hyper-competitive and anxious."
At a symposium on the topic Thursday, study participants said church leaders were reminding women especially mothers that they are not required to be perfect.
Antidepressants Flow Freely in Utah as 1 in 5 Women Partakes
More bull manure.
9 out of 10 doctors (outside of Utah) do not recommend taking bull manure as an anti-depressant.
It isn't just the irrational striving to be perfect but, worse that of proving themselves worthy and well qualified.
Worthy and well qualified are concepts created by men that enslave you and constantly push who you really are to something someone else's judges you to be or not.
Yuge waste of time this approval and being adjudged and either denied or given a card enabling you entry into all churches within LDS.
The matter is even foreign to God, who tells us "There is none worthy, no, not one".
Why should anyone have to prove they are a genuine and worthy Mormon, which implies all others are not?
God treats us all equally under his judgement and through his love.
All are his children and all Christians come to God the Father in Jesus name.
God, being the ultimate arbiter and having the biggest ego decides what a thing is and what a thing is not.
For instance, on the issue of salvation. God's mercy, through Christ, is a gift given to any why ask.
It cannot be earned, it cannot be repaid and it can't be taken away or qualified by anyone but God.
Prefer those who have any question regarding how God views us to the Three Great Parables in Matthew 13.
Our intent is what is important in our hearts. No man May judge that and should never be allowed the imprimatur to. For they, like the of us, are flawed and have no legitimate claim of sovereignty over our soul, much less undermining our spirit.
If you want to know if you are doing life right ask God. That's an answer that is always answered quickly, in fact, immdiately.
My dos centavos ....
Not being able to achieve perfection through any amount of human effort can be depressing.
Add to that the mormon cultural issues of appearing perfect.
Add to that the pressure that if your husband doesn't call your "secret name", you won't be resurrected to spend eternity with him.
Drugs. Common in Utah, as numerous articles posted on FR have indicated.
And yet they cling to their hopes of perfectionism, instead of turning to the real Christ as Savior and real Gospel of Grace.
Legalism and heresy always die hard.
I'm a Mormon, have been my whole life. I have NEVER understood this kind of depression and guilt among LDS women. I know it exists among a lot of women of my faith. I've heard women say stuff like "I feel like I'm not doing enough. I could have done more." It makes me want to grab them by the shoulders and say:
"Stop it! God does NOT expect you to be perfect. He knows it's impossible for ANY human to be perfect. Only one person was perfect, Jesus Christ. Do the best you can, but don't beat yourself up when you screw up. We all screw up. Accept it. Accept the grace that Jesus provides to make up for our imperfections and mistakes. That's what He's there for."
This kind of depression and guilt is a trap they allow themselves to fall into, nothing more. I wish more LDS women would see it for what it is and realize that God loves ALL of us, despite our failings. That's why He gave his Son. That brings me joy. So why are these women so miserable? I think they forget those simple words of John 3:16.
Just my two cents.
The heresies of mormonism lead to this problem - and it is widespread. For example, here is something from BYU:
A sample...
"In the LDS Church its like, I feel depressed, and its like, Oh you must not be righteous, maybe you should go serve somebody and then you would be, Lindsay (name changed) said. She told Doty how feeling judged by others contributed to her depression. Lindsay, age 32, also said, Its just something we do to ourselves, thats not coming down from the prophet, its not coming down from God. Thats just us comparing ourselves to each other and having that perfect standard.
"Doty found that Lindsays struggles were common among 75 percent of volunteers in the study. All 20 women are residents of Utah County, all 20 are self-described as active Latter-day Saints, and all 20 have been diagnosed with depression by a medical doctor or mental health professional."
Fifteen of the 20 women felt like they were under a microscope in this community, Doty said. Another 15 also struggled with toxic perfectionism.
"Nineteen of the 20 women said they used antidepressants in their treatment. Its like its ok, and in some cases a badge of honor, to be on an antidepressants, Doty said of the social acceptance of medication. She fears many women compare themselves to others, sometimes measuring their struggles based on the dosage they take."
A sample...
"Well the standard answer is that LDS women are overworked, heading large families, and struggling to meet too-high expectations of perfection. But is that what is really going on? The report states that three realities are much more basic. In the Mormon Church: 1) for females, One size fits all, 2) females obey males from birth to death, and 3) females lack control of their own life choices. What follows is a laundry list of expectations and rules Mormon women are to uphold to be in good standing with the Mormon Church:
Be respectfully, politely, humbly and gratefully subservient to Mormon males in personal demeanor, activities, beliefs, plans and thought.
Not be, nor aspire to be, nor hope to be, independent from authoritarian males, nor independent in thought.
Attend male-directed religious services.
Participate in male-directed activities. (Even female-led projects are organized under male authorities.)
Attend male-directed weekday seminary classes in addition to academic school.
Obey all male-hierarchy-generated directives.
Submit to male-originated personal-matter (including sexual) private interviews.
Obtain a Patriarchal Blessing which usually promises becoming a mother in Zion if faithful and obedient.
Do genealogy research on male-headed (patriarchal) family lineages.
Marry an LDS man in an LDS templeand live in a state worthy to do so beforehand.
Accept counsel from her husband and not as just his opinionbut as God-inspired revelation.
Look to her husband as essential to her entry into the best category of Heaven.
Have children, more being far better than few.
Raise all of her children in this exact-same religious and social system.
Attend only the chapel assigned to her residence address, regardless of preference.
Accept that if she and family attend any other than this chapel, she and they cannot enter Mormon temples.
Know that her husband may, in the next life, marry numerous additional wives.
Know that she may not marry any additional husband, here (if still married to the first one) or hereafter.
Accept callings to work in church, auxiliary and welfare-project organizations.
Make several forms of financial contributions, ten percent tithing being only mandatory one; but with pressure to make even more.
Teach her children to become missionaries to convert other individuals into this same system.
Teach this same system to her grandchildren.
Teach her daughters and granddaughters to obey males at home and at church.
Never openly criticize any doctrine, practice, directive or male authority related to any of the above.
And that is the one-size-fits-all-females laundry list of expectations. Each LDS female gains and retains respect, and even acceptance, only by adhering to these behaviors and attitudes, assigned to her by others, most often males, rather than freely chosen by herself. And, her sole judges on her efforts and merits are men placed in authority above her by what shes told is Gods Divine Plan.
Reminds me of a story.
The Devil held a garage sale, and put out some of his tools on a table. A guy came by to shop and asked the Devil about them. "Well, this one is temptation. This one is resentment..." and so on. "They are all things that bring people closer to me and further from The Big Kahuna."
Then, the shopper noticed one tool that was really pricey, and he asked why.
"That one is despair. It's an important tool for me, because it is one of the few that works well on good people."
THIS is why LDS are depressed...."after all you can do"???? Thats not grace! WHat if I could have tithed 21 percent instead of 20? I did not do all I could do, did I? THis is in no way Grace, this is WORKS.
This is her perception, that others are judging her. My question to her would be: So what if other people are judging you? Why are you so concerned about what other people think when you have no control over what other people think?
These women put the pressure on themselves, which is wrong. She admits that it's something she does to herself, which means she chooses to continue in her negative thought patterns. She chooses to continue to participate in the stupid, useless, and destructive Compare Myself to Others game rather than let go of whatever issues she's hanging onto.
Great story. And so true! Despair and Disouragement. Satan's two best tools.
Luna, I agree that she is experiencing problems because she is being judged by others. It is easy to say, who cares? But of course, the "others" are her peers in her mormon family, her peers at her mormon barracks, her religion that requires performance to achieve the highest levels of heaven, "marriage to her husband in eternity", entrance into a temple to see her kids married some day, elders overseeing her, obedience at every turn and the expectation that she will smile and be happy.
All of those things stem from her religion in the heresy of mormonism.
Now, I'm not a woman and can't speak directly to what it is like to go through that, and I've never been trapped in mormonism. I do have friends here who have been on the hamster wheel of mormon worthiness and they may want to comment.
cc: colorcountry, greyfoxx39, reaganaut, all delightful women of God who now know His truth. If any of you would like to comment about your own experience inside the mormonic borg of performance as a woman, feel free. If not, I understand.
I'm a never-been-married LDS woman pushing 40. My chances of getting married probably aren't that great. Do I feel as though I can't get into the highest level of Heaven because I don't have a husband? Nope! Why? Because I have hope in Christ. He is the Way.
I've never felt pressue by my male leaders to be perfect, to get married, to go to the temple, to pay more than just tithing, to do this, to do that. I've turned down a calling before and didn't get in trouble for it.
I just want LDS women to know that they don't have to put the pressure on themselves. Do the best you can with what you have and leave the rest to God. Everybody's "best" is going to be different.
obedience at every turn
God wants men and women both to obey His commandments. We're His children and He wants all of us to return back to Him. I think that God has a special place in His heart for His daughters. I think it pains Him to see these women push themselves into depression when it doesn't have to be that way.
When I was a young Mormon mother of 5, yes 5 children, I was under so much pressure. I exercised every day to keep my weight at 130 pounds, I baked bread three times a week, I rotated cleaning one of my three bathrooms every third day, so I cleaned a bathroom every day. I washed three loads of laundry every day, and mopped my bathroom and kitchen floors every other day. Every day was the focus of special cleaning for one of the rooms in my house so that I could keep up with continual cleaning. This was all done in order that I would keep the appearances of a good, clean, Godly woman.
I had five children ranging in ages from pre-school to Junior High. I had three boys in baseball, and a daughter in dance and Cheerleading. They all needed to get to practices and games, so that there was a great deal of driving, running and coordinating. Then there was the homework - endless homework with the kids and keeping them at their ultimate performance...this so that we could show how successful, good and Godly we were.
Sundays were their own special kind of hell. Hair washed and curled, dressed in the best fashion in proper dresses, ironed shirts and ties, and arriving on time. Sundays dinner were a requisite, so roast, potatoes, dinner rolls, jello and salads were prepared before Church to be presented in Sunday best fashion when we returned home.
Oh, and did I tell you I worked full time? Yes, and so did my husband. He worked 7:00 to 4:00 and I worked from 4:00 to about 10:00 or more each night. We barely saw one another, but we tried very hard for date night. Date night for us was an Archery league where, you guessed it, I was under a supreme amount of pressure to hit the mark!
Eventually, I failed. I figured out that I was failing BIG TIME, no matter how hard I tried. I hit a point where my kids were failing, my marriage was failing, and my health was failing - and I just wanted to die, and even THAT was a big failure!
That's when I was introduced to God and His GRACE, and He reached down to the very bottom of my deep, dark pit and breathed into me His life.
I have never, ever looked back upon my Mormonism. It is a trap, a horrible almost inescapable pit. But for Him, I would be dead in my sin, my trying, my ambition, my standing and my ego.
Thanks for your response. Our journey on this earth is a very individual one.
"Salvation is individual, not collective. We're not the borg."
Actually, if you do not do everything you are commanded to do, including supporting the leadership, you will not get into the Temple, not get into the highest levels of mormon heaven, etc. So, according the mormonic theology, you will be judged individually based on your conforminity to the morg collectives rules. You can argue semantics, but in practical terms, you are not some kind of free agent, apart from the rules of the morg that are not found anywhere in mormonic scripture. Perhaps you are a rogue? :-)
"My chances of getting married probably aren't that great. Do I feel as though I can't get into the highest level of Heaven because I don't have a husband? Nope! Why? Because I have hope in Christ. He is the Way. "
Perhaps the newly minted mormonic male gods can divvy up the females who are unattached among themselves? My understanding is that polygamy is practiced in eternity by your male gods.
"We're His children and He wants all of us to return back to Him."
This concept of "return back to Him" is not Biblical.
Still, I appreciated your response.
Reading the story of this so called therapist is just like reading the msm news paper, half truths if not out right lies.
Is this guy preying on Mormon women or what?
In the first place any one who is brought up in a false Church will come to be a mixed up creature and some one who joins the same is most likely a little nutty to begin with.
Now why would a life long Mormon come up with this kind of a story if he really believed in his Church?
If he don,t believe in it and what he said is true instead of only half truth why would,nt he get the hell out of it?
Now i could pretend to believe what he says if i wanted to say ( See i knew that Mormon Church was evil ) but under the circumstances how could any one with half a mind believe what he says.
I lived in the Mormon community for years and was even married to a woman who became a Mormon and believe it or not the Mormon women want to rule the roost just as much or more than women from other denominations and my wife is not the only one i got this opinion from.
The difference is of course when the Mormon leaders teach something they teach it in a more serious way that does not sound like an Alice in wonder land tale which you can take it or leave it, truth or not.
If people take anything serious it is bound to have a different affect than things given with a shrug of the shoulders attitude as in many Churches.
Needless to say a false religion taken seriously will have a negative affect.
I have a nephew who was brought up in the Mormon Church, after he grew up and started reading the Bible for him self he publicly denounced the Church and left it, i was right proud of him, but i am not proud of any traitor as this guy who treated his wife like a second hand citizen for years and now is blaming the church.
Maybe part guilt for his own actions but i would suspect more financial.
I would think that people in a true Church would not have as many problems as those in a false Church but i do not know because i have saw very few that seemed to be teaching the doctrine of Christ but the ones i saw impressed me.
As far as false Churches go it would appear that the ones who took the doctrine the most serious would be where we would find the most depressed people.
Wonder what the out come if some therapist come up with the same kind of story but just change it from a Mormon to another denomination, might be interesting but it would still be half truths if not out right lies.
I have a question for you in all sincerity and without any judgement attached.
What was it that made you think or feel that you needed to do all those things in order to feel Godly, or as you wrote "show how successful, good and Godly we were"?
This topic intrigues me greatly. Probably because I've never experienced the pressure and I don't understand where it comes from. Every person's life experience is unique, so every person's story is valuable.
9 out of 10 doctors (outside of Utah) do not recommend taking bull manure as an anti-depressant.
Perhaps the newly minted mormonic male gods can divvy up the females who are unattached among themselves?
Okay. I admit it. I thought that comment was funny. I don't spend much time thinking about all those details of the afterlife. I'm just trying to get through this one and enjoy it. :)
You and I won't agree on Mormon doctrine. And that's okay. I enjoy a good religious discussion, especially one where all parties are respectful, even when they disagree. I don't usually get involved in Mormon threads because they get pretty heated. But I appreciate your responses. They're non-judgemental and very level-headed.
God bless.

Back at ya.
I've no reason to get heated. Ultimately, I want every mormon to know the Gospel of Grace and the Love behind it. It will never be me that changes someone's mind. It is Him alone. All I can do is be available to tell the truth and point out falsehood at times.
Kindest FReegards to you.
I washed three loads of laundry every day, and mopped my bathroom and kitchen floors every other day.
If it would not start or it was broke down she had to use a scrub board and ring the clothes out by hand, and most of the time it was broke down, she had an easy job of cleaning three bath rooms because we never had one, we had an out house.
Oh, my mother had it so easy, she never had to take excerise because she never had that much time to spare,
She got all she needed cooking, including baking every day for at times seven kids, ( some of the kids left home at an early age ) sewing patches on pants and shirts, ironing, carrying water in from the barrel or well or a quarter mile walk from the spring, cleaning dirt floors and then dampening them and repacking them.
She never had to drive us kids around because she never had no car except when dad was home but she never learned to drive any way.
Did i mention chopping the wood for the cook stove for cooking and warming the water for the bathes of the little kids too young to do it for them selves?
Milking and feeding a cow or up to twenty cows and sometimes feeding pigs,( not us kids but other pigs,) feeding and caring for chickens, and on top of that raising a big garden, working in other peoples fields right along beside us kids hoeing weeds for 15 to 25 cents an hour.
And the times we lived in town she took up washings and ironing's at home with the same old wore out washers and the same old clothes lines which we took with us when we moved, and the same irons that you had to put on a stove to heat, plus all of the other work she would normally do.
Thank God we never had no band practice or other school socialist programs that she would have had to walk from several blocks to several miles to attend.
My mother was not a Mormon, during these years the Mormon women also worked hard but were living
much better in comparison.
Sorry you had it so rough.
I'm glad your mother did not also have to work full time.
Sorry she had it so rough - I understand. I never had a washing machine until #3 was born, and I used cloth diapers. I've got a wringer washer and I considered THAT a luxury. I hope your mother knew and experience the grace that God offered her, so that when she failed she knew that she was still loved.
What a hateful remark. So typical, too.
Thanks for sharing your experiences in a way I could never do.
I am happy for your peace of mind in Christ now. Ain't grace wonderful?!!
May each mormon reading this thread come to know the Gospel of Grace and the God of Love Who made it possible. May they leave the false gospel of works and turn to the true God.
Amazing isn't it. Don't you just feel the love?
What a hateful remark.
In other words it was not just the Mormon women who had to work hard, every one did it not many years before.
But the self righeous hatred of another religion that most likely is just as false will do any thing they can to make these Mormon women feel inferior and mistreated and mostly it is just a big lie that liberals are good at.
Im glad your mother did not also have to work full time.
——————————————————————————————Thanks for the reply and i did not mean to put your work down, but the reason i put it the way i did is because it makes me so dam mad that any person or religious group will do or say any thing to make the Mormon Women feel inferior, and i know for a fact they are not inferior.
If they want to bring up false religion why don,t they just read the Bible to them? but if they would actually read the Bible they may find a few things that differs from their point of view, especially about work, and they also may find some false doctrine in their own Church.
If i was going to write an article as the author did i think i would at least leave the Church first.
And i am certainly not a Mormon.
Sorry for the words i chose in my first comment to you, it takes some one pretty great to do all you did.
Another "I'm not a mormon but.." weighing in with a Christian-bashing comment in defense of the sexist mormon doctrine and practice.
Those of us women who lived under the so-called "priesthood" tyrany of mormonism call FOUL on your rants.
Finally, you understand some of momronism's teachings.
In the lds culture, the woman ARE being judged. (They must appear to be perfect.) It is not a perception, it is a reality.
Well, #1, I won't try to pretend I know how every Mormon applies grace vs. merit to their lives...but we can take a look at Book of Mormon passages and make a few surface conclusions:
Q. According to the Book of Mormon, who initiates grace -- man or God?
A. Per the BoM, Man does
Q. Where is that found?
A. Helaman 12:24 and 2 Nephi 25:23
And may God grant, in his great fulness, that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, that they might be restored unto grace for grace, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS. (Hel. 12:24)
If grace is "merited" "according to...works" -- then, sorry, "grace" is no longer "free." It's been turned on its head & 100% redefined. (Just try teaching your kids to merit their birthday & Christmas "gifts" "according to their works.")
...for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, AFTER ALL WE CAN DO. (2 Nephi 25:23)
And here, grace only kicks in like some afterburner on a rocket after you've used all your own fuel to get to a certain location. Tell us, what Mormon would actually have the gall to say to God, "Lord, I've done EVERYTHING I could possibly do. Spiritually. Physically. Emotionally. Mentally. Relationally. Etc. I've 'initiated' it, Lord, for your grace" ???
So...it's no wonder both Mormon women -- as well as Mormon men -- put all of this misguided religious perfectionism as a big burden on their shoulders!
Secondly, Lds HEAVILY stress the word "worthy" ... as if they constantly need to find a way to become "worthy" in God's sight.
Worthiness is actually related to the word, "worship." And Jesus -- ALONE among men -- is "worth-ship" - able ... meaning He is the ONLY ONE found "worthy"...not only to be worshiped...but the ONLY ONE Heavenly Father finds worthy...At least in terms with living with Him -- all-holy -- forever!
God in His holy Word didn't say 'twas the obedience of the many that was the center point of the Gospel [that's the Mormon version & many other cults]...Here's what He said in contrast:
19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. (Romans 5:19)
Jesus' perfect obedience is what the standard of the Law called for...NONE of us could match up...Therefore, we need His righteousness imputed -- given -- to us (1 Cor. 1:30). Jesus ALONE is worthy -- and that worthiness is based upon Him as the Lamb of God being slain (see Rev. 5:9 in my previous post).
Now...how else is this distorted by the Lds concept of worthiness and sweat labor?
Q According to Mormon writings, what makes you "worthy?"
A Your perfection (3 Nephi 12:48; Mt. 5:48)
[Whereas, in contrast, a good definition of a "Christian" is someone already perfect in the Father's eyes thru Jesus sacrificial death (Heb. 10:14) -- where His perfect righteousness is substituted for our imperfect righteousness. (1 Cor. 1:30). Heb. 10:14: ...because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.]
We are perfect due to Christ's sacrifice, says Heb. 10:14.
Just to be sure I was representing the Mormon position, I looked up this key Lds concept of "worthiness" in the 1977 "Topical Guide to the Scriptures of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" published by church-owned Deseret Publishers.
I found verses like Doctrine & Covenants 59:4: "And they shall also be crowned with blessings from above, yea, and with commandments not a few, and with revelations in their time--they that are faithful and diligent before me."
"Commandments not a few"? -- sounds like a long checklist to me.
I then looked at the 1979 "Topical Guide" in the Lds version of its KJV -- and turned to the "worthiness" entry there: It tells me right up top its related to the concept of "qualifying for" & then proceeds to verses like D&C 31:5: "Therefore, thrust in your sickle with all your soul, and your sins are forgiven you, and you shall be laden with sheaves upon your back, for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Wherefore, your family shall live."
Ah. There it is: The Mormon "strategy." Don't "trust" another's blood-death sacrifice for your salvation; no..."thrust in your sickle"
So it sounds like the Mormon god wants plenty of soul labor
-- paid labor
-- garden sweat
-- spiritual hirelings
-- earned labor
for salvation.
No free gifts here.
No grace here.
Just follow the rules, ma'am.
Indeed, the LDS are the "rules oriented" ones: The purity and perfection we seek is unattainable without this subjection of unworthy, ungodlike urges and the corresponding encouragement of their opposites. We certainly cannot expect the rules to be easier for us than for the Son of God... (Lds 13th "prophet" Spencer W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 28)
Just look @ all the "rule extensions" Lds have imposed upon their followers in order to live forever with Heavenly father:
(1) You have to be obedient to all the commandments & ordinances of the Mormon god
(2) You have to tithe -- what Lds reference as the "Law of consecration"
(3) You have to obey the "Word of Wisdom" -- not drink coffee, etc.
(4) You have to get married -- sorry, no never-married single people allowed
(5) You have to have as many children as possible
(6) You have to perform temple work for the dead
(7) You have to perform endowments essential for this highest degree of salvation
(8) You have to be a member of the right church (Lds)
(9) You have to receive & perform the rites and ordinances established by that church
(10)You have to have Joseph Smith's consent to enter into your highest afterlife
That is 19th-20th-21st century legalism!
No wonder depression is so rampant!!!
Finally, you understand some of momronism's teachings
(Thank you for your testimony)
" Know that she may not marry any additional husband, here (if still married to the first one) or hereafter."
My next door neighbor is a divorced Mormon and she uses the LDS Dating Service. There are lots of Mormons looking for new spouses either due to death or divorce.
***There are lots of Mormons looking for new spouses either due to death or divorce.***
Jodi Arias is on the hunt again. She was going with a aspiring Melchizedek priesthood holder but somehow he accidentally got 29 stabs, a slashed throat, and a bullet in the head.
She's attractive, baptized and looks good in an orange jump suit.
Another "I'm not a mormon but.." weighing in with a Christian-bashing comment in defense of the sexist mormon doctrine and practice.

Christian bashing? i was not Christian bashing, the only thing i am doing is to say that it is hypocritical for one false religion to call an other one false.
Joseph Smith didn't have a problem calling all religions false, except the one he invented of course.
Or was that your point?
I like spunky women
I'm a Mormon, have been my whole life. I have NEVER understood this kind of depression and guilt among LDS women. I know it exists among a lot of women of my faith.
At the same time if you think that this is really a problem you should figure out if the problem is just with the attitude of the average woman in todays world or if the problem is the Church.
I was going to suggest that you read and reread every word of what Jesus said and dwell on it and to even follow the path to the cross where he was slain as the lamb of God and see how much of it you can recognize in your Church.
But i see you have read about Jesus and as you say he is what this is all about to begin with.
Joseph Smith didn't have a problem calling all religions false, except the one he invented of course.
Or was that your point?
If Joseph Smith were alive today, he would probably get involved in Scientology or Amway,
No need to guess.
YOU SAID: doing every thing they can to make the Mormon Women feel inferior to other people
I SAID: Finally, you understand some of momronism's teachings.
Good thing Joseph Smith married Emma and not Jodi.
Wouldn't Amway bring him into the mormon fold?

In order to offer our students the most flexibility in planning their class schedule Norwalk Community College provides the option of taking classes ONLINE. NCC uses the Course Management System called Blackboard Learn. These classes allow students to complete the requirements for a specific course when it is convenient for them, whether they choose to work at 4:00 am, 1:00 pm or 10:00 pm. All communications, assignments, tests, etc. take place on the internet. While you DO NOT have to attend "class" at a specific time, you DO need to have strong time management and organizational skills. Online classes are not easier...just more convenient!
In addition to online courses NCC offers courses that are called HYBRID. Hybrid courses are taught partially in a campus classroom and partially online using Blackboard. You will be required to meet on campus during the semester. The dates will vary with each course so when taking a hybrid course make sure to check with your professor about on-campus meetings. We also have classes coded OLCR. These courses are online with a campus requirement that generally means you must come on campus take the midterm, the final or both. Again, you will need to check with the instructor for the exact requirements.
Hybrid courses can be the best of both worlds. You still get to meet with your instructor and your classmates, in many cases on a once a week basis, but this could be as little as two or three times a semester. You get the support of your instructor and your classmates but you do not have to come to campus as often as with fully on-ground classes. You get to work somewhat independently for the online portion of your course.
Support Services is the place you will go first for technical support. The phone number for the CT Board of Regents Help Desk is 860-723-0221.

Acne Regimen Step One: Cleanse | Tone
Acne-Free Skin Starts with the Right Cleanser
To start your three-step acne regimen, select a face and skin cleanser that delivers acne-fighting medications such as Salicylic Acid that don't over-dry your skin. Remember that no matter how severe your acne is or how oily your skin is, doctors recommend that you only wash your face twice per day. Over-washing your face may dry your skin, leading to irritation, redness and even more acne breakouts. After you select a cleanser, proceed to Step Two: Treat | Repair and Step Three: Hydrate | Protect to complete your regimen. Three simple steps done twice a day, combined with Inclusive Health™ lifestyle choices, can help you get clear, radiant skin that's Better Every Day®.
