Skip to comments.What Romney is Facing From Some Evangelical Christians
Posted on 01/10/2012 9:29:58 AM PST by Olympiad Fisherman
No one has any idea how common this attitude toward Mormons is on the right or how it will play out in the primary process and, if it works out that way, the general election. It will be partly offset by the enthusiasm of Mormons who make up a sizable voting bloc in some western states. But it will hurt Romney's chances in several southern primary states and could affect a close general election contest.
Most mainstream protestant religions recognize the LDS as a Christian sect. That doesn't seem to matter to Keller who is wont to see Satan in a lot of places, and not just in the Mormon religion.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Earth to the American Thinker.
Very few give a smelly Obama about RINOmeny's religion.
Very many care about the fact that RINOmney is Obama lite, and as such, he is a vapid dork.
To repeat: RINOmney is a vapid dork.
Of course there are people out there who will focus on Romney's religion, but the vast majority of those on the right don't care. They are much more concerned about his being a so-called "moderate" (which actually means liberal with an "R" beside his name).
Only the liberal ones.
so, are you saying if the Mitster was a Jew or a muzzie - religious bigotry wouldn't as big a factor in the South?
recognize the LDS as a Christian sect
Lots of weasel words with no actual reporting. What they mean is that it's not actually an issue, but they want it to be. It fits their classic meme that republicans are bigots, and they will keep repeating the message until the leftist voters believe it and decide to vote for the failed community organizer, since at least it's better than voting for a nasty and mean-spirited "party of bigots".
The author is trying to legitimize the LDS by saying that.
I will not vote for him under any circumstances. I believe that God wants me to act in a righteous manner and that means not casting my vote for an heretical, anti-freedom liar and cheat regardless of the outcome. BTW, his religion makes a huge difference to me. The LDS church takes the truth of my Savior Jesus Christ and twists it into an insane comic book with Nazi overtones.
I've read the Bible and don't expect things to get any better than they are now for quite a while - just the opposite. However, I've also read the back of the Book and know that Christ wins in the long run. That makes all the difference.
Just wait till the theologically ignorant left learns about Mormon underwear, the planet kolub, and the "mark of Cain/children of Satan" racist LDS history.
GOP is crazy for even thinking about running this man against a half-black president.
Mormonism = Christian sect? No way.
Mormonism = Dangerous cult followed by the ignorant? Yes.
I was waiting to see how long before someone figured that one out. Until very recently (perhaps because of Romney & Beck?), Mormonism was always considered a cult by most Christians and usually tossed in with the JW's - the Jehovah's Witnesses. There are many excellent schoarly books decribing the absolute foolishness that is the Mormon faith. Anthony Hoekema's book written in 1963 is perhaps one of the most authoritative on the subject(http://www.amazon.com/Four-Major-Cults-Christian-Seventh-day/dp/0802804454). It appears that political correctness is becoming religious correctness these days.
You might want to read the other comments on this thread, then clarify yourself.
I agree. The Republican leadership has slammed Christians out of the race, but then they push a Mormon on us. Does this make any sense? It is madness.
See post 13.
Romney's moderate views are undoubtedly directly related to his Mormon faith. The Mormons have been great at political/religious correctness over the years. They have evolved out of their cultic, polygamous and racist past to become a major force in world religion and in politics as well.
Yep everything is kind of quiet on the cult of Mormonism right now. Mormons even keep the super secret upper echelon satanic rituals (yes, very satanic) from the lower Mormons.
It's going to be holy mormon undearwear 24X7 as soon as Romney is the nominee.
I do not agree with the author. I just posted it because I wanted to see how people would respond to it.
However, just like Obama and his race, there are so many, many reasons to vote against Romney that no one actually has to stoop so low as to attack his religion in order to find one, or a dozen, or more.
The only reason that could possibly justify a vote for Romney is that he is not Obama, and that shouldn't be a factor in the primaries. And if, the the general election there is a reasonable alternative, I have to admit I am thinking and praying over that one. I want neither man as President.
That being said, however, most Christians that I have spoken with more object to a man who embraced abortion, gay marriage, and other socially unaccepted stances for a "conservative" candidate. Of course, once Mitt determined that becoming President should be his next career move, disavowed his pro-abortion, pro-gay rights stances.
We definitely believe in epiphanies but Romney's is just too coincidental to accept.
Utah and Idaho are certainly being better run than either Europe or the former Soviet Union!
"Most mainstream protestant religions recognize the LDS as a Christian sect."
You are a liar! No serious Christian organizations recognize LDS as a Christian Sect.
Not the Catholics.
Not the Baptists.
Not the Lutherans.
Not the Methodists.
That right there constitutes 90% of Christians in the USA.
Who in the Hell are you talking about?
BTW, the guy's religion isn't the issue. It's his vapid response to any issue and inability to decide who he is at his core, as a man.
No, Romney's problemo is he is either an Oklahoma Weathervane on any issue or as Ted Kennedy eloquently put it "Multiple Choice".
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
2 John 1:10-11
So we are forbidden to even greet Romney, but we can vote for him to make him our President?
I put to you that any Christian leader that says it's ok for other Christians to support Romney, in his present condition, is a heretic and should be soundly condemned.
This astounding claim is without foundation. It is true that the more "liberal" denominations are more "accepting" of deviant theological beliefs. However, I know of no denomination which has formally accepted the LDS as a legitimate Christian church.
Mormonism has a long history of antipathy towards Christian churches and denominations, which have been called "an abomination" by Mormon founders. One can therefore understand the concerns of those who are suspicious regarding the "makeover" that the LDS church has been undergoing in the press and Mormon PR.

I agree.
The Republican establishment is certainly taking a big risk with Romney. They are potentially alienating a sizable portion of their voting bloc - the evangelical Christian vote. They are hoping that the indepedent vote will overcome those Christians who decide to stay out of the race. If America was like Massachussetts, their political impulses would be correct from a strict political point of view, but I do not believe that the Northeast is indicative of the rest of the country, nor even of the evangelical vote there.
Obama and his minions will not be able to make religion an issue because of his ties to Jeremigh Wright. On the other hand, neither will Romney make a big deal out of Wright because of his own Mormonism. It is interesting to me that in all three areas where Obama is most vulnerable - his bigoted pastor, healthcare and the green economy, Romney will not be able to take full advantage of any of them as because of his own involvement in global warming, healthcare, and then lastly - his Mormonism.
[Its going to be holy mormon undearwear 24X7 as soon as Romney is the nominee.]
You betcha. I have studied Mormonism in depth after having been run over by some of them in business and politics here in Las Vegas. The number of 'crazy Mormon ideas' that will be debated ENDLESSLY are just suffocating to Romney's political future, even if he wins.
You think we had problems with Hussein Obama's muslim past, wait till people start looking into Kolob and becoming a god with spirit wives. The elite GOP who want their business crony boy in power have no idea the number of problems Mormonism will cause. The debate over Bain is minor in comparison.
Utah and Idaho. Two fine states.
Which one is Romney running?
Neither one of course. The tongue in cheek point was that much of Utah's and Idaho's politics is very Mormon.
And the Mormons are fine people. It's just that I believe their religion to be wrong, and not the way of salvation.
Of course, I also believe that about Muslimns, Buddhists, Hindus, pagans, jehovah's Witnesses, and a lot of mainstream Protestants, among others.
Doesn't mean I couldn't vote for most of them, if their politics is right. Romney's isn't.
I hear you.
This author flat out lied, none of them, nor the Catholic church, nor the Orthodox church recognizes Mormonism as Christian, and they do not accept Mormon Baptism as Christian.
People need to post comments at that site and bury that incredible lie.
No churches think that Mormonism is Christian, and that includes the Catholic and Orthodox churches.
We are going to see a flood of this altering of reality and Christian truth if Romney is nominated.
The most common tactic is to separate "Evangelical" from Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox, and pretend that only a few "fundamentalists" don't accept Mormonism as Christian, we need Catholics to speak up when that happens, Pope John II pronounced on the subject, and rejected Mormon baptism as non-Christian. The Orthodox church openly uses the label "cult" when explaining that Mormons are not Christian.
I am currently reading Irvin Stone's classic work on the settling of the American West, Men to Move My Mountains. The book discusses Joseph Smith's ambitious plans to found a Mormon empire that would stretch Westward to California. Smith was an autocrat who tolerated no dissension, and forced his people to accept polygamy. The book records the heart-wrenching devastation of Mormon women who saw their husbands turn their affections to their new young brides. Were it not for the rising up of righteous (Christian) indignation by the rest of the country, Mormons would be practicing polygamy today.
Those familiar with the bizarre world-view of Mormonism, with its evolving "Godhead" and promise of future divinity on another planet to faithful Mormons - and its relegation of Jesus to "Satan's brother" and a minor son of a god of this planet - are very understandably concerned about what a Mormon president would mean for the country.
It is worth mentioning that Romney is by no means a "jack Mormon" (non-practicing Mormon in name only). He is a bishop in the LDS church, and served as a "missionary" in his youth. Thus his commitment to Mormonism runs very deep.
Despite serious theological disagreements, I would consider voting for a Mormon who demonstrated genuine conservative, pro-family positions - over Obama, at least. However, in Romney's case, his active Mormonism combined with his liberal economic and anti-family positions as well as his shady history at Bain Capital mark him as a shameless opportunist who will do anything to secure the GOP nomination.
Finally, here's a question crying out for an answer: what percentage of Romney's campaign staff are Mormon, and how are Mormon groups and individuals aiding and abetting his campaign behind the scenes?
Agreed. Good for the Pope and the Orthodox for clearly marking Mormonism as not Christian. The absurdity of this situation is that faithful Christians are criticized for being "intolerant" towards Mormons, when in truth the Mormon religion was founded upon the pernicious teaching that all Christian denominations were false and an "abomination."
I'm finding a lot of Romney supporters who are so called Christians are either lying about his faith or just ignorant of it and don't care to know the truth. ( Billy Graham, Joel Osteen, Rove, Laura Ingraham, etc...)
The Romney family immigrated here 170 years ago to directly serve Joseph Smith, the Romneys are one of the most insider and powerful families of the Mormon religion.
Bishop Mitt Romney is a very high ranking Mormon, very devout, very devoted, very powerful, and is part of the 15% of the secretive elite, Romney is so elite, that if he became President, he would require not just Mormon Secret Service, but Mormons who are part of the 15%, who can join him in the secret ceremonies of the Mormon elite, for at least some events during the years of his presidency and post presidency. Normal Mormons, and non-Mormons are forbidden in the secret events and ceremonies such as the weddings of the elites, (Ann Romney's parents were forbidden to witness her marriage to Mitt).
Exactly...The problem with Mittwitt goes far deeper than "Are Mormons Christians?" Yes that matters, because they want a new Jerusalem in Missouri and all the apocalypse that goes alog with it. BUT
The biggest...not yet known widely, problem...is that it is a HUGE business and they conduct their business in secret and they will run over non-mormons without even slowing down...metaphorically of course.
This is very alarming. There are powerful forces that are ensuring that information like this stays out of the public eye.
[The biggest...not yet known widely, problem...is that it is a HUGE business and they conduct their business in secret and they will run over non-mormons without even slowing down...metaphorically of course.]
And it isn't like I don't know Mormons. My broker/boss is Jack Mormon,a new business partner is Mormon, I was 15 years in a business deal with a crazy "got his planet early" Mormon, I was almost suckered into a harassment lawsuit by a Mormon woman (who'd done the same thing before), dated a shunned Mormon divorcee, and know more about Mormon Harry Reid that most anyone in the state.
That's why I've studied them in depth, self survival.
Simply not true. There (lds) are recognized as a cult.
The author can only be referring here to the liberal wing of the old confessional denominations which are neither "mainstream" nor a "majority" of Protestants.

Itâ??s time to play a game! Jon gives you some images of six giants, and you can choose which giant you think each one depicts. Youâ??ll have some help by way of descriptions, though, so youâ??re not going into this blindly. Are you ready to give this a shot?

I'm really hoping that those aren't the finished product.
I'm guessing that Mr. Wyatt was talking about minimal pigs and cows if the hill giant is 3 times the height of a man.

A looks like a half-orc.
B looks like a titan, but mostly because of the lighting-bolt sword.
C looks like a frost giant.
D looks like a shaved dwarf.
E looks like a human.
F looks like a giant caveman.
So, 2 1/2 (titans are large, but not quite a giant) out of 6.
If "A" is broken, that isn't a valid reason for "B" to be so, even if they vary in degree.

I only see a frost giant and a hill giant. And that is ONLY because one has viking horns and the other is half naked.

Well it's club might be, but the head is different. The old one is more triangular, and the new one's fangs look more like tusks.

If fire giants don't care about aesthetics, why does the fire giant's armor look so nice? If frost giants are immune to cold, why is the frost giant wearing so much fur? The visuals don't match the story elements.
And I know if Mr. Schindehette reads this, he'll say "Aha, but you did recognize which image was which race!" Yes, but only because the fire giant had dark skin and the frost giant had a Viking helmet.
I'd be more than willing to accept F as a frost giant, but the description all but flat-out says that it's the stone giant, so :/
Overall, though, I like the concepts. I think F has my favorite proportions, and E is a perfect hill giant.
(and shouldn't giants' weapons be proportionally smaller?)

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/whldst/smart_buildings)
has announced the addition of the "Smart
Buildings: Smart Wireless Lighting Controls 2014 to 2018"
report to their offering.
The NEW 2014 Definitive Resource for Smart Wireless Lighting Controls
Market Research including Market Positioning, the Competitive Landscape,
Market Sizing & Investment Analysis
The OECD and EIA estimate that cutting the energy used by lighting by
40% would save $53 billion in the USA whilst annual energy costs and
savings across the globe could be 3 to 4 times as much. Therefore
lighting and its control have a major part to play in the 21st century
low carbon economy. There could not be a more appropriate time to assess
current and future demand for lighting and its control in public
industral and commercial buildings, particularly if it assesses how
wireless control can open up the retrofit business, which has for so
long been stagnant.
Why do you Need this Report?

Many of you may recall the 1-inch of snow that blanketed the ground on December 22nd and 23rd, 1989. But that was only one-third of the amount that fell 31 years earlier, on February 12th and 13th, 1958.
Viewer Don Pickett sent us these gorgeous color photos that he took of Florida State University's campus. These photos can be viewed by looking at the video of this story. The snow began on the evening of the 12th and stopped early the following morning. By then, 2.8 inches had piled up. To this day, it stands as the all-time snowfall record.
A cold and very dry airmass was in place over the Southeastern United States at the start of the storm. A weak area of low pressure formed in the Central Gulf of Mexico and passed to our south. Enough moisture from the Gulf low fell into the cold air and created the unusual snowstorm.
The white stuff was such a novelty that even the girls' dorms stayed open past their usual closing time of 10 o'clock so they could enjoy it all.
The 1950s had three measurable snowfalls in Tallahassee. That's more than any other decade. The last measurable snow occurred in the December 1989 storm.

Icebreaker heads home to Fourchon for short stay
Published: Saturday, August 11, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 10, 2007 at 11:40 p.m.
FOURCHON -- It traveled through the freezing temperatures in the Antarctic, braved the roughest body of water on Earth and left great slats of ice crushed in its wake to return to Port Fourchon, where 10 years ago the Laurence M. Gould became the second privately owned ice-breaking vessel in America.
"The Gulf of Mexico is a very strange place for an icebreaker," said Marty Galster, captain of the Laurence M. Gould. "We havent seen much ice."
Since it last returned to the United States in August 2004, the hulking 249-foot-long steel vessel has split its time between the Strait of Magellan and Palmer Station, the lone Army base in Antarctica, to conduct a bevy of experiments on climate change, ecological shifts and unfamiliar sea life.
The ship returned to its birthplace temporarily to drop off waste material from research in the United States, as required by law, and to renew its 10-year drydock and shipyard recertification. Sunday, the 3,780-ton beast will leave the temperate Gulf Coast on a 28-day trek back to Antarctica, where it will roar through ice-laden waters at up to 12 mph courtesy of a 4,785-horsepower engine.
And there it will remain for years, but not without a few necessities from the land where it was crafted by Cajun hands.
"Were taking as much with us that reminds us of home that we possibly can," Galster said, listing such comforts as Tony Chacheres Cajun seasoning and Community Coffee.
Once in Antarctica, the ship will join its older and larger sister ice-breaking vessel, the National B. Palmer, also built by Galliano-based Edison Chouest Offshore in 1992. There the vessel will face up to 115-mph winds and icy waters in the worlds roughest bodies of water.
Though uncomfortable for crew members, the most wicked storms are no match for its reinforced steel hull and a sharpened bow that can slice through 1-foot-thick ice, rendering the vessel nearly invulnerable to natures impediments.
"No machine made by man will tolerate complete idiocy, but she is very, very tough," Galster said.
Still, Galster said his crew attempts to avoid ice if possible because another path can save time, fuel and give everyone aboard a more pleasing journey.
"The whole process of ice breaking everywhere on the ship sounds a lot like taking a big municipal trash dumpster and shoving it down a cement stairway," Galster said.
That process is done by accelerating toward a sheet of ice to elevate the ship before it crashes back down through the ice and rises again in a continuous motion.
When navigating through thick patches of ice the crew will ram into the ice to break it up before backing up and repeating the action until it escapes into smoother waters.
Of nearly half the year the vessel spends in the Antarctic waters, it roars through ice for a total of about 30-40 days, Galster explained.
No other icebreaking ships were built in America with the exception of military and Coast Guard-designed ships.
Once in Antarctica, the vessel will stay for up to 75 days before returning to restock in Chile. There, a 14- to 16-person crew and up to 26 research scientists will work to understand unfamiliar sea life and rapid climate changes taking place in Antarctica on behalf of the National Science Foundation.
"Theyre seeing climatic change in the Antarctic faster than anywhere else on the globe," Galster said. "In areas I remember from five years ago that were perpetually covered in snow, now you see bare rock in some places. Scientists tell us there are five or six penguin species that live along the Arctic peninsula. The species that formerly could stand cold weather have moved south, and the guys who like really cold weather seem to be disappearing to someplace they havent really figured out yet."
Crews will also perform small trawls to sample krill, salps and fish, with a special interest in fish that can survive on frozen blood. Scientists believe the fishs unique blood work could aid medical research.
To assist in those experiments, the Laurence M. Goulds crew set up a grid of Conductivity Temperature Depth Sensors, $400,000 Volkswagen-size devices used to collect uncontaminated water samples, measure conductivity of seawater and record the oceans temperature.

I watched the game and quite honestly , you have to ask why bother with football at thinternational level: The footballers all earn vast salaries, but appear to have no zap/get/go or charachter to their performances. When you look at them playing, they all seem to have an air of despondency , and no motivation.perhaps thet have so much money, they feel they do not have to work any longer, but every sportsman kbow, you get back what you put in.I feel an entirely different approach, ALL different, therefore motivated players need pulling from the hat, and find a manager that has the vision, personality, knowledge and commitment , who CAN instill the proper attitude and mentality in the chosen players.The game last night was truly of an appalling quality./We got exactly what we deserved: The German team did not even have to work very hard, I'll bet they were confused as to why we were so poor

Celtic rock group Reilly celebrates fourth album
Local Celtic rock group Reilly has endured the typical sort of challenges 13-year-old bands face, such as lineup changes and, um, cicadas.
The band played at the Chicago Scots Highland Games in 2007, the year that the Chicago area was swarming with the 17-year cicadas. »Read Full Article(2)
Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Luis Collazo Returns, Batters Franklin Gonzalez in Three
By Edward Chaykovsky
At the Oceana Hall in Brooklyn, New York, former WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo (31-4, 16KOs) returned for the first time since June of 2009, and stopped Franklin Gonazalez (13-9, 10KOs) in the third round of their junior middleweight contest. Collazo has been away for nearly two years, but now the tough New Yorker is back and looking to win gold in the lucrative junior middleweight division.
In the main event, welterweight Dmitriy Salita (33-1-1, 17KOs) won an eight round unanimous decision over Ronnie Warrior Jr. (13-5-1, 4KOs). It was the third consecutive victory for Salita since his first round knockout loss to Amir Khan in December of 2009.

How To Grow Your Manhood Without Harming YourselfPosted by Gary Edwards on Mar 15, 2016 in Penis Grow | Comments Off on How To Grow Your Manhood Without Harming Yourself
Today the main concern for any man is his sexual life and performance. There are many factors that affects ones sexual life such as low erection, uncontrolled ejaculation, weakness, small manhood etc. But the most important factor that affects the most is the penis size the whole factor depends on this one. Your small penis size will lead you to depression and stress as it is a matter of shame and humiliation in front of your female partner on bed and it also dissatisfy your partner. To enlarge their manhood size many men opt for different techniques to resolve it. So how could you judge that which one is best for you? It is difficult but with this article it will get easy for you.
Surgery is the fastest and the simplest technique for instant results. You have to just search for the best surgeon and he will take few hours to give you a new sized manhood. The surgery helps to increase the length and girth of your penis. This process involve the placement of fat cells from the abdominal portion to the penis which increases the girth of your penis but for length the surgeon manipulates the penis cells to grow and this increases the length of your penis. The results of the surgery are not constant and permanent. The fat cells that are placed in your penis are re dis-solvable in your body when required after some time. There many drawbacks also of this surgery such as it may cause uneven curve to your penis which looks ugly, it may affect your erection power and the main threat is that it may cause impotency. The surgery is also very costly as you will have to spend about $4000-$10000 for this surgery.
Devices are the lot more safe method than surgery for penis growth. The main concern for you if you want to choose this option will be to search for the best and branded devices and the best stuff is on http://www.bathmatediscountcodes.com/. The devices are more effective and safer than surgery.
The device involves the process of stretching and creating suction on your penis. This suction and stretching creates pressure on your penis which increases the blood circulation in your penis and manipulation of your penis tissues.
With this manipulation the tissues are multiplied and the chambers are stretched to absorb more blood. This process helps to grow your penis size. But these devices are very complicated as they have many spare parts to use and it is confusing. The devices are to be used in 100% effective and prescribed manner else it may cause serious damage to your penis. These devices are not too costly but again it will cost you about $350-$700 per device.
These pills are again lot better method for penis enlargement from surgery and devices. These pills are time consuming but effective. But remember you will have to use herbal pills which are safe and effective as they consist of herbal ingredients which are not dangerous for your health.
If you will go for prescribed pills it will damage your health and body parts. These prescribed pills consist of harmful chemicals and synthetics that are very dangerous if consumed on regular basis. It will cause you heart problem and impotency. Good and effective herbal pills will cost you about $40-$70 only.
The most safe, effective and cheaper method for penis enlargement is exercises. Since ancient times, men are been using this method for penis enhancement as there were no surgeries and devices for this at that time and it was effective too. With change of time and introduction of technology men have become dependent on these devices for their penis enlargement and avoided to have hand exercises. These exercises are very cheap as they do not require any devices or pills for support. You can just use your hand and spend few minutes daily at your home to get new size.

Surgically enhanced Elizabeth Taylor, R.I.P.
Elizabeth Taylor, who died today, was a plastic surgery fan but didn't discuss it.

Slide show: "'Surgeon to Stars' Steven Hoefflin wins some, loses some." (Elizabeth Taylor counted as a "win."
Hollywood superstar Elizabeth Taylor, who died today at age 79, was an old-school star who didn't talk in public about her often-rumored plastic surgeries.
[caption id="attachment_27353" align="alignright" width="380" caption="Elizabeth Taylor in 2009 at age 77 / Getty Images (Click photo for slide show.)"][/caption]
She reportedly began her plastic surgery career with a modest nose job in her 20s. Over the course of her lifetime, she reportedly had a total of four facelifts.
She was a longtime patient and friend of "Plastic Surgeon to the Stars" Dr. Steven Hoefflin, even though he was accused by medical assistants of insulting patients, including her, while they were unconscious on the operating table. A lawsuit they filed against him was settled out of court, and Hoefflin says the assistants retracted their charges and apologized.
That incident reportedly occurred in the 1990s, when she was married to her seventh and last husband, Larry Fortensky, who was 20 years her junior. In the lawsuit, Hoefflin's medical assistants said he commented about Taylor while she was under anesthesia during a treatment, saying, "What's a young guy doing with this old stuff?"
Taylor was also a close friend of pop superstar Michael Jackson, who was also a patient of Hoefflin's.
She reportedly was also treated by Los Angeles dermatologist and Botox specialist Dr. Arnold Klein, who also had Jackson as a patient for many years.

I was hanging with Damian, Christine, and company yesterday and was introduced to the manga Beck. What a cool manga. It's fun, has some bizarre moments but surprisingly realistic characterization, and so many guitar geek references it's not even funny.

Quote from: "Spoony Mage"
Perhaps, but my statement still stands. RPGs have run the gamut from fantasy-based teenfests to futuristic adult-themed warfare, whether or not they have made it over from Japan.
...or were developed elsewhere.
Have people forgotten adult-ish sci-fi themed US RPGs like System Shock 2, Dues Ex, Fallout, Anachronox, Septerra Core, and more?
Then again, around these parts on RPGfan, Japanese RPGs tend to have preferable interfaces than many US PC RPGs (i.e. Icewind Dale, Arcanum, etc.) I prefer JRPG interfaces myself over those of US PC RPGs.

I subscribe to the theory that there are only a certain amount of plots since the human experience as a whole is limited and it's near impossible to truly make a story devoid of any cliches, because it's damn near impossible to write about things and concepts we don't know without at least trying to compare it to something we do. We have awareness of concepts like infinity, but don't truly know "infinity-ness."
But in any case, it's even tougher for an RPG plot to be truly devoid of cliches because the chief component in the RPG package is combat. Without combat, there's no RPG. And you can only have so many stories based around combat.
You have genres like digital novels, love adventures, graphic adventures that lend themselves well to perhaps more dynamic and interesting plotlines because combat is not a key aspect to their packages.

...There's always Revelations: Persona (Megami Ibunroku Persona) where you're not saving the world but rather saving people from themselves.
I don't know if these annoyances have been mentioned yet and I'm too lazy to read the whole thread, but it's definitely annoying when there are random encounters in puzzle rooms. When I'm trying to solve a puzzle and get into an encounter, it just destroys my concentration.
I'm also not fond of when there are puzzles without any hints to go along with them. Wild Arms 1 comes to mind where I remember this one puzzle. No hints in the dungeon as to how to solve it and no hints in the puzzle room itself either. So out of sheer frustration I just had Rudy (or was it Jack?) drop bombs all over the place so I could see things go boom. Lo and behold, the puzzle was solved!
At least RPG puzzles (usually) don't have the pinpoint pixel hunting and ridiculous leaps of logic that graphic adventure puzzles tend to have.

In most any genre, romance is really tough to write and direct well. Even in the love adventure genre, you have games like Hourglass of Summer and Never 7 that do romance extremely well and you also have games like Ai Yori Aoshi that are godawful.
Even in movies, the romantic scenes in Star Wars Ep. 2: Clones could, and should, have been the strongest scenes in the movie but they were horrid due to the cracker-thin dialogue and the fact that George Lucas' directorial skills are horribly lacking.
And even among romance novels, I'm sure there are those that are written well and others that are cheesier than a stinky brie.
EDIT: And Spoony Mage- that's one reason I liked Veola so much. Whenever Lita had one of her annoying episodes, Veola's dry wit always put Lita in her place.
And +1 for those who mentioned that Tales of Symphonia's female characters are mostly melee characters. Genis and Raine are the only mages, but that's due to their species rather than gender. Sheena, Colette, and Presea are all melee characters.

Just today I randomly caught an episode of Mirage of Blaze on TV (Encore WAM channel.) I dug the music, the dark art style, and the character designs. It was atmospheric and there were some cool moments (such as when Saori kicks major ass with a shovel when fighting zombies that Takaya's like "whoa, she's not useless deadweight after all") and everything... but I couldn't help but feel that this was a Neal-pleasing visual package over a very cliched premise, about spirits from the past possessing peoples' bodies to re-enact a war they thought ended poorly. And the whole lengthy summoning sequence with loads of colors was lame, because what self-respecting baddie would sit through one of those lengthy things?
I don't know what to make of Mirage of Blaze. I love the visuals and it is atmospheric (I LOVE that dark vibe akin to Boogiepop Phantom) but the premise and the summong sequences are so silly that it totally ruins the dark atmosperics.
It seems like it'd be a fun series to watch, but I doubt I'd waste money on a box set.
Did I mention the dub was godawful? It was like an old-school dub with bad actors who emphasized the incorrect words and put no emotion where there needed to be emotion. I thought we were over this shit by now.

Good point Eusis. For most people, the video game console is still seen as a toy, despite the fact that all of us who grew up with 8-bit Nintendo as kids are now in our 20s or 30s and do want more maturity in our console gaming, and by maturity I DON'T mean ultra-violence, gratuitous sleaze, or whatever else deemed "mature" in GTA or Conker.
The PC platform typicaly does appeal to a more mature demographic, because people of all ages use PCs. Even people in their 50s and 60s play computer games, even if they are simple games like solitaire or tetris while they're taking a break from work.
The European graphic adventure developers like Microids have titles like Syberia and Still Life which feature female protagonists in their early 30s. The games wouldn't work without protagonists like that, since the storylines are based around their professions. Kate in Syberia is an attorney and Victoria in Still Life is a forensics agent.
In other words, all I'm saying is that though we may be tired of kiddie heroes in RPGs, there are alternatives for story-intensive games featuring more adult characters, plotlines, and themes. They may not be of the RPG genre, but they are out there.

PC RPGs tend to utilize more adult characters and storylines. It's just that console RPGs have more appealing gameplay interfaces for us:P
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment uses young adult characters (aged from 21-32) who struggle with adult issues and have adult dialogue. Heck, even the teenagers in Persona 2: Innocent Sin have mature and insightful dialogue, so they don't seem like chickenheads like many teens in cookie-cutter RPGs.

Trid- I think it's a universal truth that in any video game, RPG or otherwise, the desert is always the most annoying dungeon/stage. For me the worst desert had to be the one in Stupid Invaders. Every screen looked exactly the same and you had to do them in a certain order to get to where you needed to go, or you'd die. And there were NO HINTS for navigation as far as I could find. I had to use a FAQ for it and I have no clue how the FAQ writer figured it out.

It was only in Paladin's Quest and Skies of Arcadia that this bothered me, but whatever. In Paladin's Quest, the color scheme for the graphics was such that it really hurt my eyes after playing for mere minutes. In Skies of Arcadia, the strobe effects for the special attacks made my eyes go funny and made me feel slightly dizzy. Granted, yes, in SoA you could skip the animation by pressing start, but sometimes I didn't press it quickly enough. Not convenient.
I don't like it when video games cause me physical discomfort.
Another thing I didn't like in Skies of Arcadia was that the camera was very herky-jerky during battles and made me feel seasick. In contrast, games like Grandia 2 had very smooth panning cameras during battle and I had no issues playing that game.
FF7 was a notorious culprit in this one particular niggle, and Nocturne did this in a couple of places too. I didn't like those segments where the camera was panned so far away from the prerendered backdrop that the player character icon was tiny, like the size of an ant. Were it not for the pointer thingie and the exit markers, FF7 would have been an exercise in navigatory frustration.
Various other issues mentioned, I can probably deal with, but the eyestrain and dizziness issues in Paladin's Quest and Skies of Arcadia are ones that are complete showstoppers for me, as well as herky jerky camera work; smooth panning please.

With the circuit moving from the opening rounds in Sweden and Finland to Canada, Randall was victorious in the first race, a sprint, over Norwegian Falla and Ida Ingemarsdotter in Quebec.
However with another sprint scheduled in the middle of three events in Canmore, Falla had the perfect opportunity to get her own back on the American which she did to perfection.
Randall attempted to break the field on the climb but she could not shrug off Falla who stalked her all the way before showing greater speed on the final straight to take the win.
Falla clocked a winning time of 2:57.6minutes, 0.6 ahead of Randall, for her first win of the season and the second victory of her career while Norwegian teammate Celine Brun-Lie was third.
And Falla, who was one of three Norwegians in the final, Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg finishing fifth, admitted it was her plan to sit on the shoulder of Randall before attacking.
"I had to fight really hard to stay behind her [Randall] back. She was going so fast that I knew it was going to break up and I am very happy. I felt better and better during the day," said Falla.
"There is an amazing team spirit for Norway with three of us in the final and two on the podium. It is very friendly and I knew I had an advantage if I stayed behind Kikkan.
"She is very fast and to be faster than her makes me very happy."
Meanwhile in the men's race, Emil Joensson lauded his tactics after powering home on the final straight to pick up his second successive sprint victory on Canadian soil.
Joensson beat teammate Teodor Peterson to the win in Quebec last weekend and this time had Anders Gloersen trailing him in second and Nikita Kriukov in third with a time of 2:33.6.
And Joensson admitted not leading during the early stages of the race, like Italian Federico Pellegrino did before dropping to sixth, helped him claim the win.
"Looking at the heats, most of the winners came from behind to get the speed going into the final straight," said Joensson.
"I didn't want to be first going down the hill, I wanted to be second or third to get the speed and my tactics worked.
"I want to keep competing but we can relax the body over Christmas because it has been a tough start to the season."

On June 28, 2007, I sent them $25 in money order and the $400 voucher enclosed to begin the Lay-A-Way Plan. When I realized it would take 2 years to get the "refurbished" computer by paying $25 a month and later dropping down to $10 a month, I decided to pay it all in full including shipping & handling. I mailed a personal check in the amount of $380.74 on July 20, 2007.
Sweepstakes Clearinghouse did receive my payment.
Daily I would check my account summary on their website.
On August 2, 2007, they claimed "NSF". I called my bank and yes my full amount was still in my bank account.
I called Sweepstakes Clearinghouse customer service phone number. Upon asking, the operator told me what "NSF" meant and that they would try to put my check through again.
Again, I continued to look at my SCH account summary to see if they had mailed out my computer yet.
Well, at that time, they still had not put my check through.
I had read the reports on the "Ripoff Reports" website against Sweepstakes Clearinghouse and upon re-reading them again, I changed my mind.
On August 7, 2007, I made a healthy decision to "stop payment" on the check. I then called Sweepstakes Clearinghouse to tell them I would like to cancel my order and that I had put a "stop payment" on the check. I asked if I would receive a refund check back in the amount of $25.
The operator of SCH told me "No" and because I was on the Lay-A-Way Plan I would receive a catalog in 3 to 4 weeks and would have to order something from that.
Right then and there I knew I had been had. $25 down the drain.
I chose to buy a brand new computer August 10 online at Walmart.com for the unit price of $478 using a Walmart gift card for the full amount.
I did receive the SCH Store catalog, browsed through it quickly, and promptly threw it away.
I did receive a letter from SCH that they tried to cash by check, however, this was after I had told their customer service operator that I had "stopped" payment" on the check.
I will never again order from Sweepstakes Clearinghouse. I never did receive a refund check of $25.
I realize I was probably being impatient about my order and all the while I was hoping to get in on this Internet service discount thru my cable company on time, but since my computer had not arrived by a certain date in August, I could not receive the discount. Plus, I then thought why not buy a brand new computer at a good price instead of a "refurbished" computer.

|[PACS] Properties of specific nuclei listed by mass ranges: 6 ≤ A ≤ 19
|Issue Date:
|Physics Letters B 679(3): 191–196 (2009)
|The unbound nucleus 7He, produced in neutron-knockout reactions with a 240 MeV/u 8He beam in a liquid-hydrogen target, has been studied in an experiment at the ALADIN-LAND setup at GSI. From an R-matrix analysis the resonance parameters for 7He as well as the spectroscopic factor for the 6He(0+)+n configuration in its ground-state have been obtained. The spectroscopic factor is 0.61 confirming that 7He is not a pure single-particle state. An analysis of 5He data from neutron-knockout reactions of 6He in a carbon target reveals the presence of an s-wave component at low energies in the α +n relative energy spectrum. A possible low-lying exited state in 7He observed in neutron knockout data from 8He in a carbon target and tentatively interpreted as a Iπ = 1/2− state, could not be observed in the present experiment. Possible explanations of the shape difference between the 7He resonance obtained in the two knockout reactions are discussed in terms of target-dependence or different reaction mechanisms at relativistic energies.
