However, their system automatically put on hold customers credit account
for trivial/wrong reason. Consequently, customers suffer charge back for returned checks and fee for cancelled checks
even they have never spent over limit on their CapitalOne credit accounts.
On 7/17/2012 I paid $2000 for my credit line of $2000. CapitalOne accepted this payment and my balance became -$90. That meant CapitalOne owed me $90 and my balance had $2000 available. The next day, 7/18/2012 I wrote a CaptialOne promotion check #12923 of $1800 and deposited to my checking account at Bank of America. However, until 5 days later, on 7/23/2012 I knew the check was denied. Bank of America charged back $12 for returned check and subtracted $1800 from my bank account. I also suffered fees from other cancelled checks due to insufficient checking
account at BOA.
On 7/24/2012 My account balance is $0, my available credit $2000, I wrote another check #12924 of $1820. Still, again my account is on hold due to other banks deposit $3000 into my account on 7/26/2012.
I contacted CapitalOne five times about this problem. They said: "An account will be put on hold if there is (1) Large amount of payment or (2) Multiple payments. It is automatically system, they cannot change it.
These are wrong reasons because Capital accepts large amount and multiple payments from customers.
Why did they accept payment and then put on hold their customer account?
They can put on hold the amount deposited until it is cleared. But they should not put on hold consumer
credit line or their entire credit account. Put on hold credit line and put on hold the check is different matter.
CapitalOne said they want to make sure the amount received is cleared. However, the amount should
be cleared before posting the transaction. They should post only after the amount is cleared and should give the
accurate balance on their customer credit accounts. For example, it is very confused for customer having balance negative -90 after paying $2000, but credit is not available as if they paying late. The payment from customer in large
amount to CapitalOne is not customers' fault. Customers do not spend over limit on their account. Instead, customers pay to increase the amount available on their account. It is different from late payment.
CapitalOne also failed to notify me about their decline as they stated in section Important Information About this Offer on the info how to use Capitalcheck promotion.
I believe hundred thousand customers have been suffered such wrong and unfair practice. FTC and STATE should investigate to protect other Citizens from this error.
I want CaptialOne pay back any charge back fee by Bank of America, other cancelled check fees, and other lost due to CapitalOne system error.

Political Perceptions: Poll Points to Risks for Romney
Which voters are causing the most trouble for Mitt Romney?
The new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, released Tuesday evening, shows Mr. Romney trailing President Barack Obama — perhaps dangerously so, given the shrinking pool of undecided voters. But it also points to ways that Mr. Romney could be winning, if only he could hold on to some big voting groups that have supported him more firmly in the past.
Take a look at white voters with college educations. They make up about a third of all voters, and they've been open to supporting the Republican nominee at various points this year. But lately, they've been backing away, contributing to Mr. Romney's currently lagging position in the race. Mr. Romney trails Mr. Obama by five percentage points among all likely voters, with 45% support, compared with the president's 50%.

In May, Mr. Romney had a 13-point lead among college-educated whites. But his position has steadily deteriorated. This month, Mr. Romney actually trails the president by two percentage points among white college graduates—the third straight month in which Mr. Romney has sunk to just about parity.
Mr. Romney's failure to build a stronger position among these voters is significant. Given the president's commanding lead among minority voters, Mr. Romney has to build big margins among other large demographic groups.
The Journal poll points to other trouble spots for Mr. Romney. He's had difficulty, for example, holding on to wealthier voters. In combined results from the first five Journal polls of this year, Mr. Romney led by six percentage points among people in households earning $100,000 or more – 50% to Mr. Obama's 44%. More recently, the two candidates have been running even among those voters.
This month's poll contained a surprise: Mr. Obama leads among $100,000 households by a remarkable 16 points—56% to 40%. The president's big boost in September's poll may be an anomaly — pollsters usually don't put much weight on a finding until it turns up several times. But even if overstated, the trend is not good for Mr. Romney.
Another big problem for Mr. Romney is among men. They skewed narrowly toward Mr. Romney in some earlier months, but he and the president are now essentially tied.
That's a problem for the Republican, because Mr. Obama has strong support from women. This month, he's up by 10 percentage points among women voters.

"Poll after poll, we keep seeing the president winning women by double digits and essentially within the margin of error among men,'' says Bill McInturff, the Republican pollster who conducts the Journal survey with Democrat Peter Hart. "Sooner or later, if Romney is going to win, either that women number has to drop, or the male number has to go up appreciably.''
The Journal poll had some good news for Mr. Romney. Among the voters who say they're most interested in the election, he leads by three percentage points, 49% to 46%.
Mr. McInturff finds that to be potentially significant. "It's a suggestion that, even as we try our best to estimate what the electorate may look like, there continues to be evidence . . . that the composition of the electorate could be a point or two more Republican,'' he says. Such a shift could be a "huge deal'' Mr. McInturff says—but, of course, only if Mr. Romney moves close enough to the president for such a change to provide a margin of victory.
But the poll also shows continuing problems for Mr. Romney. He holds an eight-point lead among white voters, topping Mr. Obama 51% to 43%. But that isn't good enough. Mr. Obama carried 43% of the white vote in 2008—and easily won the election.
A recent boost in economic optimism is another problem, since it challenges Mr. Romney's central argument that the president has failed to invigorate the economy. That rising optimism extends to swing states, where 43% of voters say the economy will improve over the next year, compared to 16%who think it will worsen.
For Mr. Hart, the Democratic pollster, the overriding message of the poll is that Mr. Obama's coalition is solidifying. "It's now getting cemented,'' he said. "Those fissures that were there about the direction of the economy and the direction of the nation have now started to heal, rather than crack.''

Nice size. Well-made. Just what we were looking for!
I really like this bag for what I'll be using it for, a great bag, easy and simple to use. Great to take camping with, which is what I intend to do, I reccomend this product to anyone looking for a great outdoors bag.
- How accurate was the sizing? Some sleeping bags one buys don't fit the bag, this is a high quality bag for the sleeping bag I own.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. I really like the shoulder strap, easy to roll, and get air out.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes.
Needed a water bag for rivers and salt travels -- size is big enough to be useful, but packs down tight if you don't need all the bulk
I wanted a good, waterproof -- not just "water resistant" -- bag to protect my laptop during heavy rains. From the photograph of the item, I thought there was a zipper across the top but there is none. (This is where having multiple views of an item comes in handy!) This is my only disappointment with it. The bag is deep enough to fold over my 17" laptop, but I wanted full enclosure. Also, if using the shoulder strap, sweeping rains could pool at or near the opening while walking several City blocks, waiting on an open train platform for a train or on the sidewalk for a bus. All things considered, it will do. However, if I find the same bag with a zipper, this one may move to the back of the closet!
- Did the product fit true to size? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Good
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? As far as I can see.

That sounded great but we needed more time to think about it. So we told the Sales Rep Steve that we were not ready but we would be at the end of June. We were so excited that we found a data base that would give us what we needed to grow our business.
Once the end of June arrived Steve called us and was ready for us to sign up. He was telling us what a great deal we were going to get and that we would receive one month free. Of course I told him I did not want any commitment and asked him if I could stop the service at any time and what did he say. "Of course you stop at any time, but you will like our service so much you will not want to cancel" Then I said that does not matter I need to make sure that if we need to cancel I can cancel and he said, "yes its no problem" FYI Reed Construction Data positioned there services as a subscription not a contract.
So we signed up and everyone was so excited for us the account manager Denise called us up and gave us a brief training. August comes and we see a charge on our account from Reed data construction, I'm like what happen to our free month.
I called Denise and inquired about the charge and told her we were supposed to get one month free. She told me that we did get our 1 month free because we were not charged for July. I told her that we signed up on June 30th which is the last day of the month so technically that 1st payment should cover the 1st 30 days (July 30th) which means August should have been
free and we should not have been charged until September. The most ridiculous thing came out of her mouth she said "if you had signed up on June 15 then you would have been able to see your free month but since you didn't that is why it seems like you didnt receive your free month". Im thinking to myself that she sounds silly because the last time I checked a month
equaled out to 30 days.
I was lied to and I could not trust them anymore so I wanted to cancel. Of course Denise stated " I could not cancel until after 1 year and I was locked into this contract After that it was a bunch of going back and forth and she basically threatened me and told me that it was okay if I did not pay she would just send it over to the creditors and she could do it that day.
So lets break this situation down
1. I did not sign anything with my signature. Normally when you enter into a contract where there is some type of commitment you usually sign your name in wet ink and receive a copy for records, neither happened.
2. Steve told me that I could cancel at any time and the company misrepresented this service as subscription not a contract.
3. How is it possible that you can bully someone into paying 1 year without the option to cancel when there is no collateral,
equipment or money was given to the person? Even cell phone companies give you a discounted phone and give you an
option to leave by paying an early termination fee. Unfortunately, there is no way out of this contract.
4. Miss Denise told me that because I agreed to the terms and conditions I was locked into this contract. Remember I said I did not sign anything, but what I did was when I first logged on to the program a window popped up with the usual agree or not agree to terms and conditions and of course you cannot use the subscription that you already paid for until you agree. Question? With any program and subscription that you sign up for when you agree to terms and condition you are usually agreeing that you will use their program, subscription, website, etc. lawfully, not agreeing to a non-breakable agreement.
Now remember I stated earlier that they charged my account on August 22nd, well to fix them I made sure I changed
my card account info and it is a good thing I did because these thieves tried to charge my account on September 9th. Barely two weeks later were they trying to take more money and then they have the nerve to send me a FINAL NOTICE three
days later about my account being severely past due. Really these people are a bunch of clowns.
Overall, their whole business practices are shady and deceitful if they had told me that this was a non-breakable
contract I would have hung up the phone and they knew that. That is why they never told me and outright
lied to me about being able to cancel.
The sad part is that they can get away with this because they are dealing with businesses and they know a business will not risk their business credit. In a case that a business defaults they just sell it to a third party creditor and get paid for nothing. They
are getting over on people think about it, me canceling my subscription will not cause them any damages, they did not invest additional time into their service, the information is already collected whether I sign up or not. They did not give me anything tangible, valuable or loan me anything of value to hold me in this contract.
I have one word for this company, CROOKS. Any company that does not allow you to cancel a subscription is a company you do not want to do business with. Most importantly these companies are getting craftier not only do you have read what you sign, but now you have to read before you click anything.

Hi all
I'm having a had time with what I believe should be an easy install
I made a new mysql database on 1&1
downloaded wordpress from wordpress.org
changed the config file using the information in the 1&1 control panel - that is their database name 'db203********' ; the host name 'db***.perfora.net' etc. and then saved as wp-config.php
uploaded all files to a new 'blog' folder in the root dir. of my website at 1&1 using Yummy FTP (mac)
so now I want to go and configure wordpress, so I type in site, adding /blog/wp-admin/install.php and get the following message
Warning: main(/homepages/24/d168954731/htdocs/ blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/24/d168954731/htdocs/ blog/wp-settings.php on line 100

A MAN with a history of voyeurism has been told "the time has come" for him to understand the seriousness of his crimes.
Philip Harper was yesterday jailed for 28 months for spying on women for sexual gratification. The 45-year-old, of Edinburgh Way, Banbury, was caught watching a woman in a changing room at the town's Spiceball swimming pool last August. He has 15 previous convictions.
In June, while awaiting trial, Harper was caught standing on a flower pot and looking into the bedroom of a ground floor flat in Banbury.
Harper, who admitted a charge of voyeurism and breaching an antisocial behaviour order, was told by Judge Peter Ross at Oxford Crown Court: "The time has come for you to understand that the court will not condone repeated offences of this type.
"This is real, and this is very much the impact that this sort of offending has on people.
"The fact that you have not touched someone does not in some way lessen the effect upon those who you have spied on."
The court heard a woman had taken her two children to the swimming pool on August 17, 2013, and while she was changing out of her costume she noticed a man watching her from the gap between the floor and the cubicle wall.
While awaiting trial, on June 7 he was found looking through a bedroom window of a ground floor flat by a man who lived there with his partner.
Harper, who appeared in court via video link from Bullingdon Prison, near Bicester, was sentenced to 16 months for the count of voyerism at the swimming pool, four months for the breach of his Asbo and eight months for the count of voyerism in June, to run consecutively.

Hi everybody!
First: thanks to all the community that had build WordPress. thanks for all this great work!
Second: It's the second time that my website is hacked by some Turkish script-kiddie. Everytime my index.php file is erased and replaced by a nice message like "Fuck america and Israel"...
Not that I dislike this little genius of poetry but I worry about security of my WordPress installation...
I'm running 2.0.4, and run a lot of plugins:
Brian's Latest Comments
Cat Cloud
Related Posts
Random Header
Google Sitemaps
Jalenack's Wordspew
WImage Browser
Some folders were "CHMODED" 777. Maybe It was the security failure...
Now I've CHMODED all my files 755. Hope that'll solve the problem but I'm dubitative... because I know that my index.php file was CHMODED 755...
Have somone heard about a security failure of one of these plugin? Or a security failure in WordPress 2.0.4 itself?
I hope someone could help me to avoid these stupid messages coming back...
Thanks a lot for further help!
(Sorry for my english I speak french)

HDI Simple Escapes $96.00 charge 8/25/04 !?
Doing a web search even found info about a class action lawsuit against them (Memberworks).
Winchester, Virginia
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Ex-Employee Offers Input
AUTHOR: Alyson - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 18, 2006POSTED: Monday, September 18, 2006
This company hires many "questionable" employees - like recent parolees, current drug addicts, etc. - and many of them like to make a quick buck by occasionally clicking "Accept" when the customer clearly rejected the offer.
Basically, I'm saying "BUYER BEWARE!" Most phone order companies are exactly the same in integrity, and you need to make sure not to agree to ANY upsell - no matter how good it sounds. Repeat as many times as necessary that you only want what you called to order. If you still get charged, consider filing a lawsuit if they refuse to refund ALL of your charges (and I mean ALL!!). They have to prove that you agreed to any upsells, and if you know 100% that you did not agree, you shouldn't lose.
At the very least, report the instance to the FTC (ftc.gov) and to the Better Business Bureau. Do your part to stop this from happening to others. You might even end up with some compensation if a lawyer is interested!
... my two cents, for what it's worth. :)
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Suggestion
Memberworks became "Vertrue", changed program names, etc., but the real problem is greedy businesses and STUPID consumers
AUTHOR: Leslie - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, May 08, 2006POSTED: Monday, May 08, 2006
somehow made them truthful.
Virtually nothing was ever billed by this firm
without nominal approval from the party billed.
Trick is, it's a 30 day trial, and most
customers would "space out" the entire
process in that time. Another neat trick:
under either guise, it was convenient for
the firm to simply never ship the literature
to the customer, and a lot of idiot dimwit
customers simply threw out the literature
under the moronic presumption it was junk mail.
The firms who peddle these "programs" tape
all sales, and it is almost unheard of for the
customer to NOT approve the forwarding of the
information, in exchange for bonus items
like prepaid gasoline cards or savings bonds,
which they almost universally forget about
and never claim. Customers are also give
the phone number and website where they can
cancel, but customers seem to "lose" this
information and "forget" to look for the
program literature in the mail, which always
arrives separate from the "hard" merchandise
What's needed, frankly, is not the demise
of "Vertrue", from which HDI has, for one,
disassociated itself. What's needed is a
firm group of ironclad laws to forbid one
company passing on ANY consumer informatio
to another company for ANY purpose, to include
selling names and addresses, as well as this
sort of thing.
Long term, the management of companies who do
this--and it is almost ALL of them, by the
way, who do phone or internet orders--are
lining their pockets in a most unethical manner,
and generally destroying their companies,
because customers who hear too much of this
pressure selling simply won't come back.
But they won't listen to such things; they
are too imperious and self-absorbed, and
will condemn their employees, upon pain of
firing, to endlessly repeat this near-fraudulent
JUNK no matter what, and pay them rewards
to raise their sales percentage.
It's a form of corruption, right out in the
open, and also explains your e-mail spam,
the tons of unwanted catalogs, etc., etc., etc.
This is a business and a way of business which,
though now lawful in an environment where it
becomes almost impossible to successfully sue
even a third-rate, blatantly dishonest
company, should be banned and the firms which
practice this dance shut down, once and forever.
It's amusing to read all these neo-n**i
lies from major criminals about "frivolous
law suits", but what they really want--and
"Vertrue" is one of these--is a situation in
which people of low or moderate income can
be ravaged to make them pay and pay and pay,
no matter how absurd the scam in which they
were ensnared, whereas the wealthy cannot
even be touched.
Anyone recognize a pattern???
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

At first, he was only going to give a $77 pro-rated refund!
Then I mentioned filing FTC complaints & joining a class action lawsuit for unauthorized charges then he agree to the remainder.
Also, he was able to confirm that the offending offer started from a The Company Store online purchase & not HSN.
I called The Company Store to complain & was actually assisted & listened to by CS rep. who was going to forward complaint to supervisors. She stated that she was actually familiar with THIS site!!!! She stated that they have been offering cross promotion with Simple Escapes for THREE YEARS.

A burning dinner was mistaken for a house fire in Blackbird Leys, Oxford.
Two fire crews, from Slade Park and Rewley Road, went to the house in Juniper Road after a neighbour heard the smoke alarms sounding and noticed the smell of smoke.
No-one was inside, but a small pan of food was slightly burning on the stove.
Firefighters climbed into the house through an open window and cleared the smoke before any damage was caused, with the homeowner coming back as the crews were leaving.
It took place on Tuesday, but fire crews have only just released the information.

The North Canberra Community Council Transport Position Paper was endorsed at the General Meeting of 17 May 2016.
The North Canberra Community Council Transport Position Paper was endorsed at the General Meeting of 17 May 2016.
The ACT Government have issued the following media release regarding the Dickson Shops re-development. Thius will be discussed at the North Canberra Community Council meeting on 19 July 2016:
After thorough assessment against ACT planning requirements the planning and land authority has approved the revised Dickson Coles Supermarket proposal, Gary Rake Deputy Director-General of the Environment and Planning Directorate announced today.
"I am pleased that we have been able to make a decision on this application, which will provide two new supermarkets for the inner-north community," Mr Rake said.
"Today's decision takes into account aesthetics and design issues as well as community concerns raised during two public consultation periods.
"The development will be an asset to the local community and will integrate well with the current Dickson shopping precinct," Mr Rake said.
The planning and land authority originally refused the Dickson mixed use supermarket development on 20 May 2015, following a number of concerns around the quality of the design and interface with the surrounding area.
Following the refusal last year the proponents have responded to both the Authority's assessments and community concern. Key differences include: Continue reading »
The next general meeting of the North Canberra Community Council is at 7.30 pm Tuesday 21 June 2016 in Majura Function Room, Majura Community Centre, 2 Rosevear Place Dickson

Area's booming economy is reason to be thankful
Published: Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at 12:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 25, 2014 at 5:56 p.m.
Sometimes, it's hard to appreciate the good things while they are happening, but Terrebonne and Lafourche really have something to celebrate with the continuing string of reports that say the two parishes' combined jobless rate remains the lowest in the state and one of the lowest in the nation.
Last week, the state issued monthly statistics that show the Houma-Thibodaux metro area gained 1,900 jobs over the past 12 months.
The area also retained the state's lowest unemployment rate in July at 4.3 percent. The rate is up from 3.9 percent in June but down from 4.6 percent in July 2013.
Houma-Thibodaux has posted the lowest unemployment rate among Louisiana's metro areas every month since October 2012. And it did the same for months before that.
The area posted the nation's lowest jobless rate in February at 2.8 percent. It now ranks 16th, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Stop and think about that.
How many communities do you think would love to boast that statistic?
And it's more than just numbers. It is one sign that anyone who is willing and able to take a job can find one right here.
This comes as much of the nation continues to recover from one of its worst recessions.
Those who are old enough to remember the oil bust of the mid- to late-1980s may have an even deeper appreciation for what's going right now in our local economy.
They remember the days when there were so few jobs — local unemployment peaked around 20 percent — that residents were moving out in droves in search of work.
They remember watching sons and daughters graduate from college and almost being forced to leave if they wanted a job that paid a reasonable wage and made good use of their skills, talents and education.
Now, young people who want to work in the oilfield can attend Fletcher Community College and in two years be earning $50,000 or $60,000 a year to start.
That is astonishing.
So many new jobs are being created in the oil service industry that companies are having a hard time finding enough workers to fill them.
That, too, is astonishing.
Think about how these things affect you and the community in which you live, and be grateful.

- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day SaintsQuorum of the Twelve Apostles, 1994 - present
- Brigham Young University (current)
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland was ordained a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 23, 1994. At the time of this call, Elder Holland was serving as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy, to which he had been called on April 1, 1989.
From 1980 until his call as a General Authority in 1989, Jeffrey R. Holland served as the ninth president of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. He is a former Church commissioner of education and dean of the College of Religious Education at BYU.
A student leader and varsity athlete at Dixie High School and Dixie College in his native St. George, Utah, he received his bachelor's and master's degrees in English and religious education, respectively, from Brigham Young University. He obtained master and doctor of philosophy degrees in American Studies from Yale University.
Elder Holland was active in professional educational activity prior to his call to full-time Church service. He served as president of the American Association of Presidents of Independent Colleges and Universities (AAPICU), on the board of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU), and as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Presidents Commission. For his work in improving understanding between Christians and Jews, he was awarded the "Torch of Liberty" award by the Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai B'rith. He has served on the governing boards of a number of civic and business related corporations and has received the "Distinguished Eagle Scout" award from the Boy Scouts of America. He is the author of eight books, one of which he co-authored with his wife, Patricia.
Elder Holland was born December 3, 1940, to Frank D. and Alice Bentley Holland. In 1963, he married Patricia Terry. They are the parents of three children.
- Brigham Young UniversityEnglish and Religious Education
We came to earth to face issues of mortality in the form of trials, temptations, disease, and death. It is essential for us to face personal struggles because opposition is a crucial part of Father's plan. I suppose everybody will have some kind of an experience where they say, "I'm never going to be happy again."
Well, we are going to be happy again. That is also a part of the plan. It's the very nature of it. Hang on and hope. Never lose faith in your Father in Heaven, who loves you more than you can comprehend. Never, ever doubt His love for you. Hold fast to the Atonement. Believe in miracles. When you've done all you can do, endure to the end. And remember, hope is never lost.
Broken minds can be healed just the way broken bones and broken hearts are healed. While God is at work making those repairs, the rest of us can help by being merciful, nonjudgmental, and kind.
Somewhere on that path we stopped and wondered what we had gotten ourselves into. Life that day seemed so overwhelming, and the undergraduate plus graduate years that we still anticipated before us seemed monumental, nearly insurmountable. Our love for each other and our commitment to the gospel were strong, but most of all the other temporal things around us seemed particularly ominous.
On a spot that I could probably still mark for you today, I turned to Pat and said something like this: "Honey, should we give up? I can get a good job and carve out a good living for us. I can do some things. I'll be okay without a degree. Should we stop trying to tackle what right now seems so difficult to face?"
In my best reenactment of Lot's wife, I said, in effect, "Let's go back. Let's go home. The future holds nothing for us."
Then my beloved little bride did what she has done for more than 52 years since then. She grabbed me by the lapels and said, "We are not going back. We are not going home. The future holds everything for us."
She stood there in the sunlight that day and gave me a real talk. I don't recall that she quoted Paul, but there was certainly plenty in her voice that said she was committed to setting aside all that was past in order to "press toward the mark" and seize the prize of God that lay yet ahead. It was a living demonstration of faith. It was "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). So we laughed, kept walking, and finished up sharing a root beer—one glass, two straws—at the then newly constructed Wilkinson Center.
Remember, my dear young friends, the future holds everything for you. Be faithful. Believe. The Lord will bless you.
Often, like Lot's wife, we long to return to past days. I have come to the conclusion that Lot's wife did not just look back; she looked back longingly. In short, her attachment to the past outweighed her confidence in the future. That, apparently, was at least part of her sin.
So, as a new year starts and we try to benefit from a proper view of what has gone before, I plead with you not to dwell on days now gone, nor to yearn vainly for yesterdays, however good those yesterdays may have been. The past is to be learned from but not lived in.
To all such of every generation, I call out, "Remember Lot's wife." Faith is for the future. Faith builds on the past but never longs to stay there. Faith trusts that God has great things in store for each of us and that Christ truly is the "high priest of good things to come."
Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away. Live to see the miracles of repentance and forgiveness, of trust and divine love that will transform your life today, tomorrow, and forever. That is a New Year's resolution I ask you to keep this new year.
I once gave a message about traveling across the country with my young family when our car kept breaking down. I encouraged everyone at that time to never give up because good things are just ahead (http://bit.ly/1BbEQR2). I say that to you again now. We never know what challenges are ahead of us, but one thing is for sure—we all have them; that is one of the purposes of this life. As we trust in the Lord to help us, we learn and grow in ways we can't even imagine, our relationship with the Lord strengthens, and we gain deeper confidence that with His help we can make it through hard times. Another blessing is that the next challenges that come won't seem as hard as they would have otherwise.
God lives. He is our Eternal Father and loves each of us. I testify that this is His true Church and that He sustains us in our hour of need—and always will, even if we cannot recognize that intervention. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come until heaven, but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. Of that I personally attest.
Please let anyone affected by pornography know about new Church resources designed to help loved ones in this situation. I hope these materials will encourage people to turn to the Atonement of Jesus Christ to find the healing and hope we all so desperately need. His power extends to all. None of us needs to suffer alone.
You are doing terrifically well. The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you. He knows that your giving birth to a child does not immediately propel you into the circle of the omniscient.
If you and your husband will strive to love God and live the gospel yourselves; if you will plead for that guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit promised to the faithful; if you will go to the temple to both make and claim the promises of the most sacred covenants a woman or man can make in this world; if you will show others, including your children, the same caring, compassionate, forgiving heart you want heaven to show you; if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do.
You cannot be in Brazil and not feel momentum for the future. I promised the members there that they would play no small part in the Lord's blessing of that land in the future. For them and for us—wherever we might be—it is true that the prayers of the righteous have a wonderfully disproportionate impact on the rest of the population. The devotion, prayers, and faithfulness of our members will play a significant role in bringing peace to the places in which we live.
I felt reminded of a common theme that appears in Christ's post-resurrection greeting and message. Upon visiting his Apostles, he said, "Peace be unto you." He repeated himself three times: "Peace be unto you." He allowed them to see the nail prints in His hand and thrust their hands into His side. He told them, "Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you."
The tragic irony of our world is that peace is a commodity that is so difficult to find. I think Christ's initial greeting when we see Him again will be, "Peace be unto you."
Let us try to find peace now. We may not make much headway politically, but maybe as individuals, in our homes, and in our chapels, we can find peace. It can happen for us. It will happen for us. I pray that each of us will find peace and bring it into our lives and our homes.
Sometimes we don't miss things until they are suddenly not available to us. That truism has scores of applications in our lives. Let's savor what we have and express appreciation for it, lest we lose it.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the most certain, the most secure, the most reliable, and the most rewarding truth on earth and in heaven, in time and in eternity. Nothing—not anything, not anyone, not any influence—will keep this Church from fulfilling its mission and realizing its destiny declared from before the foundation of the world. Ours is that fail-safe, inexorable, indestructible dispensation of the fulness of the gospel. There is no need to be afraid or tentative about the future.
Unlike every other era before us, this dispensation will not experience an institutional apostasy; it will not see a loss of priesthood keys; it will not suffer a cessation of revelation from the voice of Almighty God. Individuals will apostatize or turn a deaf ear to heaven, but never again will the dispensation collectively do so. What a secure thought! What a day in which to live!
If there are some bumps along the way while waiting to see every promise kept and every prophecy fulfilled, so be it. If you haven't noticed, I am bullish about the latter days. In nothing could I have more faith than I have in God the Eternal Father, in Jesus Christ His Son, in Their redeeming gospel, and in their divinely-guided Church. Believe. Rise up. Be faithful. And make the most of the remarkable day in which we live!

I love book swaps. Oh so very much. Over the last 3 years, I've participated in a few, and have received a bunch of great books. So, this year, I'm teaming up with my very good friend Enna from Squeaky Books to bring you our first ever holiday book swap.

I want to stress that if you are really strapped for cash, am not sure if you can make it to the post office, or in any other way feeling unsure about participating, you don't have to. And I'd really hate to see people that send out their packages not get something in return. (I've been on the receiving end of that before, and it is a major bummer).

CN&WB Holiday Book Swap Rules:
- All interested participants must fill out the form by NOVEMBER 22
- This swap will be secret-Santa style. Participants will be assigned someone to give books to based of the information they provide by NOVEMBER 25.
- THIS IS A SECRET ASSIGNMENT! Don't tell your person you are giving them anything until they have received your package (include a card with your name/e-mail them. etc.) or you can keep it a secret forever!
- All participants must mail their books no later than DECEMBER 10.
- All participants must provide some form of tracking. Either get delivery confirmation through USPS (this only costs $0.80). or if shipping directly from the store, provide tracking/order confirmation from wherever you purchased it from.
- The swap is open INTERNATIONAL (To the TBD countries. you can choose which country/countries you want to ship to)

Friday Film:: Bringing biodiversity back into cities
This video discussion took place at the recent ICLEI Urban Nature Forum in Belo Horizonte, Brazil this month and discusses the value of urban biodiversity and how to bring that diversity back to the cities. It's presented by the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
Oliver Hillel discusses how nature used to be in the cities and how we simply have to stop impeding it and let it back in. However, many of our systems are so changed that they now need to be managed to restore nature by bringing in new infrastructure. He also discusses how cities are laboratories for innovation and the importance of education by bringing nature back into cities so people are aware of biological processes and how dependent we are on them.
