That's what you'll hear the corporate and imperialistic "Democratic" Party Cult celebrity politicians/the "leadership" say after the 2018 midterms s-elections.
Hola a todos. I read a headline while completing this article. The headline read: "What Democratic Control of Congress would mean for Tr*mp." What it would mean? It would mean nothing. "Democratic" control of Congress means that the right-wing status quo would continue and that the "Democrats" would give him pretty much anything he wants, as they've been doing all along and just as they did for illegitimate George W Bush.
People keep forgetting or choose to live in denial that these two corporate parties are more or less the same. Their funding comes from the same sources. On the major substantive issues they are in agreement, such as being pro-war, they're not doing anything about the current regime locking up migrant children in cages, and none of them are saying a word about our corrupt sham of an "election" system nor are they about to. The current regime is decreasing "election" accountable by eliminating various agencies that look over the voting system, part of his deregulation schemes, which the "Democrats" aren't doing anything about either. They are basically in a silent mode. Silence = complicity and enabling.
After I wrote this article, I was barraged with a bank of partisan e-mails all saying the same thing. It was a lame copy and paste job. May I presume they were e-mails sent by brainwashed "Democratic" partisan paid trolls? I suspect so, because who else would put that much effort into something if they're not being paid to do so? It was a (what can best be described as) before-the-US-2018-midterms "Democratic" Party Cult troll assault. They targeted me because I've been very critical of their political Cult in recent articles. These hypocrites used the same methods they once criticised Republican Party Cultist trolls of using. And just like their cult-party, the e-mails showed no imagination or creativity. They were trying to pick a fight with me, but that didn't happen. I guess they enjoy wasting their time arguing with people over partisan politics which is something I don't enjoy doing. All of the e-mails ended with the following text, with this sloppy language:
"When the Democrats take back the Congress and Senate in November, don't you think they will impeach Tr*mp [my asterisk added] after the midterm election?"
I take it that no one reviewed that before they sent it out. I'll make the appropriate and necessary corrections in bold font to that text:
When If the Democrats take back the Congress House and Senate, don't you think they will impeach Tr*mp after the midterm s-election." (Most USians adamantly choose to live in denial about our corrupt and easily-hackable sham of an "election" system in the US. They choose to deny it so that they can continue to live under the delusional and wishful-thinking notion that we're going to "vote our way out of this disaster." There's absolutely no proof of that. I would remind people that it's this voting system that got us in this disasters, so it's not about to get us out. An 11-year-old hacked a replica of Florida's voting system in 10 minutes).
I'll answer their question in a moment, but first, some very remedial education for these cultists:
The Congress and Senate? Do these people also say the House and Congress?
I see they made the common mistake of referring to the: "Congress and Senate…" when they mean the House and Senate. Some remedial education: The US Congress consists of the House and Senate. The word Senate is implied or included when referring to the US Congress, so why are they saying the word "Senate" essentially twice? I hope the reader understands my point. Do they not know that the Senate is part of the Congress? Or put another way, when did the Senate become a separate and independent body from the Congress which "Congress and Senate" implies? It's like saying "the White House and Supreme Court." Two separate entities. These people do not even understand our system of governance and its structure? Where did these people go to school? The word they should have used was House and Senate because, again, the US Congress consists of two bodies:
House of Representatives (they're called Representatives, as in Representative Nancy Pelosi)
Senate (they're called Senators, as in Senator Kamala Harris).
I am so tired of this sloppy, incorrect language "Congress and Senate," which is the same thing as saying, "the House and Senate and Senate." Get the point? Because, again — for the thick people who show up here and there's no shortage of them as you may have noticed — the way these stupid people wrote it it implies that the Senate is a separate body somewhere in the District of Columbia outside of the Congress. It is not. The Senate is the upper body of the US Congress. I don't know why people use the word "Congress" when they mean to say/write the House of Representatives. Both legislative bodies make up the Congress. I would like to point out that they never say the word "Congress" when they mean the Senate. I've never heard anyone say (or seen anyone write): "The House and Congress." Again, both bodies make up the Congress, stupid people. Do I need to draw you a picture? How difficult it is to say the word(s) "House (of Representatives) and Senate?" But stupid is in, and one cannot fix stupid, so I won't bother drawing a picture. The reason I'm making a big deal about this is because all of this was well-drilled into us when I was in school. We even had a special exam on it. So in my class, we were well-educated on this. I think everyone got an "A" on it because she spent a lot of time on this topic. So when I see idiots — who should know better! — writing "Congress and Senate" that sets me off. I'm fucking sick of it. I'm sick of fucking idiots. And they often pretend to be a "progressive" or a "liberal." And I know from experience that one is accused of "nit-picking" if one corrects someone who writes or says, "the Congress and Senate." Because these people don't have the maturity to respond by saying, "Oh you're absolutely correct. My mistake, I should have said House and Senate and not Congress and Senate. Thanks for the correction." No, one is not likely to get that mature response at all from these people. No one ever responded that way to me when I was politely correcting people on this. Instead, I was met with hostility because I was exposing the person's perceived ignorance regarding the legislative branch of the US Oligarchy.
One of my commenters, a former school teacher, wrote that this is one of her pet peeves too. Clearly the US education system is in deep trouble since she retired, I can tell you that! Maybe she should consider coming out of retirement.
Mi amigo/My friend says he's seen that mistake I'm talking about repeatedly used by supposedly educated people and the corporate media. Well that doesn't surprise me in the least. The corporate media use sloppy language all the time — and they find it funny when they mispronounce words of other world/international languages — and I guess viewers hear/read that "Congress and Senate" mistake and mindlessly repeat it themselves. Mi amigo said he also sees the sexist word "Congressmen" used when female congresswomen are being talked about. That doesn't surprise me either. The sexist SEP Cult does the same thing.
On a related language topic, many people continue to use the sexist word "mankind" instead of humankind or peoplekind. I prefer the latter since it doesn't contain the word "man." The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, spoke of peoplekind recently in one of his town hall meetings.
So now that we've cleared that up — yeah I'm sure, as I expect some damn fool to write "Congress and Senate" within the next minute — I'll move on to the question asked:
"Don't you think they will impeach Tr*mp [my asterisk added] after the midterm election [sic]?"
What drugs are these people on? No, no, no, I do not think that the fake-opposition party, the "Democratic" Party Cult, will impeach the thin-skinned, narcissistic, obnoxiously immature Orange Bully-Asshole (Orange Nazi) after the midterm s-election, even if they were to have every seat in the House and Senate. Period. That's not what they are about. They are about corporate submission. They are about enabling and being complicit. When will people come out of their denial and realise this? I do not see impeachment happening because the "Democratic" Party Cult always has an excuse for something. They always have an excuse for not being a genuine opposition party. They enjoy helping "their friends/colleagues across the aisle" as they say. Then their gullible and damnably naïve cultists always fall for their excuses for not doing what they should do, no matter what they do, as these corrupt politicians continue to enable their employer which is the Republican Party Cult and their corporate owners.
The "Democratic" Party Cultists want so desperately to believe that their saviour "Nancy Pelosi has a plan" and that "the Democrats have a strategy, you'll see!" Since 2000, I have heard or read that wishful-thinking drivel countless times. What delusional and naïve fucks. It's obvious to any sane person based in reality that Pelosi's "plan" is to continue to enable the insane, thin-skinned Orange Bully-Asshole, and for her to remain in the House of Representatives. (Let's review class: The Congress consists of the House and Senate. Got it? Good.) And I've been waiting 18 years (since 2000) to see Nancy Pelosi trot out her Pelosi Glorious PlanTM that these partisan-brainwashed cultist wishful-thinking delusional fools have talked about her having for the past 18 years. Her "plan" has consistently shown her to be a Republican/White House enabler to corporate submission.
What the "Democratic" politicians will say after the midterm is the following:
"Dear Friends: Impeachment takes a long time, and grinds the government to a halt. [Ed. More than it already is?] We feel it's too close to the end of his term for us to begin impeachment proceedings. Let's let the voters 'impeach him' at the end of his 4-years" The unspoken: That is, if the voters decide to do so, by not voting for him and instead voting — on our corrupt sham of a s-election system and the same system that put him in office — for whatever piece of corrupt corporate trash we "Democrats" decide to put up our as pathetic and anemic nominee. Of course, we'll probably put up another has-been wet doily that we found at the bottom of our "Democratic" Cult Party recycling bin where all of our corrupt politicians come from. Yes, we just keep recycling the same old trash over and over, don't we? Cue: Attention-seeking Hillary again to have a re-run of 2016. Not that anything will be different the second time around. Or that 75-year old (as of this writing) Biden guy. These narcissistic celebrity politicos never know when to go away do they?
That's how I see it, based on the "Democrats'" history, their behaviour and complicity-enabling of the Republican Party Cult. I should point out that it's the exact same tactic they used with illegitimate George W Bush. Pelosi took impeachment of Bush "off the table" when he was holding residency en la casa blanca. During Bush's second 4-year residency in the White House, the "Democrats" gave him pretty much anything he wanted because it appeared that they felt sorry for him because "his Republican party" — the one that the "Democrats" work for — lost seats.
Are they paying no attention to what this man-child (the Orange Nazi) is saying daily? Or do they silently and covertly agree with him? They must, the way they've been enabling him. Anyway, I can see the "Democrats" doing the same thing for the insane, thin-skinned Orange Bully-Asshole as they did for George W Bush.
There is absolutely nothing remotely "presidential" whatsoever about this beyond-obnoxious, scum-of-the-Earth piece of trash en la casa blanca/in the white house. He is a complete international embarrassment (I'm sorry you have to deal with him periodically Angela Merkel, Bundeskanzlerin – the German Chancellor, widely described as the de facto leader of the European Union, the most powerful woman in the world, and the leader of the "Free World"). He doesn't have basic sense or any sense of maturity or a modicum of intelligence or an internal gauge for knowing the appropriate thing to say in the role as "president." He relishes sounding stupid and proudly-ignorant, just like his scum-of-the-Earth base. Nevertheless, the "Democrats" seem quite comfortable with him and have enabled him, so why would they have any interest in impeaching someone they have enabled? That doesn't make any sense.
Here are a few examples of their enabling for those who missed all this:
Trump impeachment vote fails overwhelmingly
Quote: Now is not the time to consider articles of impeachment," Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said in a joint statement, shortly after Green introduced his articles of impeachment. End Quote
Democrats just handed Tr*mp more domestic surveillance powers. They should know better.
Democrats Cave, Agree To Fast Track Tr*mp's Corporate Judges
"Republicans and Democrats like to claim that they are on opposite sides of important issues. Of course, depending on which way the wind blows, they sometimes change sides, like over support for free trade and federal deficits. Tragically, however, there is no division when it comes to militarism." [Source]
Then, often-Republican-enabler Congresswoman Dianne Feinstein — yes she is a Congresswoman because the Senate is part of the Congress and she hangs out in the Senate with her Bachelor of Arts degree in History; how can someone be a "lawmaker" without any legal training or law degree?1 — stunned a San Francisco group of "Democratic" Party Cultists when she said that she thinks the current White House resident could be a good "president" [sic] if he changes some. Specifically, "The question is whether he can learn and change," Feinstein said. My response: Him learn? Him change? He's a 70+ year old narcissistic child in an adult body. It is not likely for someone of that advanced age to change at this point. He's quite set in his ways and is unable to change. What evidence does the woman have of his ability to learn or change? Nada. Not going to happen. Period. "She also said that Tr*mp will have to "forget himself enough and have the type of empathy and direction the country needs." Delusional. Not. Going. To. Happen. Feinstein added that, "there are things that can be done if he does not move in that direction." Well of course there are things that can be done but you and your pathetic Republican-enabling party have no intention of doing them. One wonders: What does the current White House resident have on Feinstein and Richard Blum (her husband) to cause her to have "fallen for" him? Surprisingly, Feinstein says she plans to vote "no" on the Kavanaugh US Supreme Court nomination based on what she heard from him — including perjury — in the hearings.
Then there are the corporate politicians who have difficulty hiding their giddiness over their own celebrity status. It has clearly gone to their heads and they see themselves as some god as if they're thinking, "My adoring fans adore me. Look at them. I know I'm pretty damn hot." Messiah Obama comes off like that if you've watched him. It's ironic that Obama recently said that the upcoming midterms is a "chance for political sanity." I wish he would have thought of that when he was insanely greatly expanding on the right-wing neocon agenda of the illegitimate Bush/Cheney regime.
The "Politics of Fear" Card
Why do things keep moving to the right and far-right all over the world these days? Well it's because of the Politics of Fear that's being used all around the world, particularly the fear and hate for migrants who have fled their bombed-out cities/residential areas because of US Imperialism. It's rare to hear anything "moved to the left" anywhere that I can think of. It's always right-wing and conservative using the Politics of Fear or The Fear Card. I think nearly every politician uses this. Obama gave a speech to a room full of his cultist believers — everyone had a phone in hand to take a picture of their messiah even though they could get the same thing online — and he spoke of the "Politics of Fear." He was indirectly referring to the "Politics of Fear" being used by the current resident of la casa blanca/the white house. Rather hypocritical of Obama since he used the Politics of Fear Card when he was in office. Just one example that comes to mind: Bush's "War on Terror" propaganda — Fear, Fear, Fear, Fear — which Obama greatly expanded on. He left office with 8-9 neocon wars (I lost count, sorry, it was hard to keep up with his wars) to expand US neocon imperialism per the Project For the New American Century Agenda (PNAC). Also regarding migrants, Obama was also known as The Deporter and Chief. As you can read about here and here. The Politics of Fear Card is one of the first tactics that politicians seem to learn to use and exploit for their agenda, and it's often used by the right-wing and far-right as was seen recently in the election in Sweden where the far-right made up all kinds of lies as part of their hate campaign against migrants that public records showed to be absolutely untrue/lies. But the far-right in particular never lets the truth get in their way if it will accomplish their rabid hateful agenda.
Meanwhile, Obama's "Democratic" Party Cult has been enabling the insane one (see examples above) and his gang of outlaw thugs. Obama chooses to see what he wants. He chooses to not see those examples I listed above. Or has he been too busy on luxury cruises: The Obamas just took a luxurious cruise with Oprah and Bruce Springsteen on this billionaire producer's yacht, or hanging out with Tom Hanks or billionaire Oprah or celebrities or at Martha's Vineyard (Dahling), or when he spoke in Africa at an event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nelson Mandela where he bragged: "I'm surprised how much money I got." In his speech he hypocritically spoke of reining in "the excesses of capitalism" so that "rich people are still rich" but they're supposedly "giving a little bit back" he joked. Yeah, that sounds like "Hope" and "Change We Can Believe In" doesn't it? This man turned out to be one of the biggest frauds to come along in sometime and the sheeple outright fell for him, and still do. That's the way brainwashing works. Then Obama said, "I should add, by the way, right now I'm actually surprised by how much money I got, and let me tell you something: I don't have half as much as most of these folks or a tenth or a hundredth. There's only so much you can eat. There's only so big a house you can have. There's only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it's enough." Really? Money and materialism seem to be his focus. I'm surprised he didn't mention his and Michelle's $65 MILLION book deal. What could anyone say in a book that's worth that amount of dinero/money? I suppose all the "Democratic" Party Cultists would buy that to hang on every word from their messiah. I wouldn't read it if you bought me a copy. But isn't all this wonderful? How heart-warming to hear such bougi drivel. Arrogant, wealthy and people with big heads don't interest me at all. Yes, with the bougi elite it's all about their wealth, so I guess Obama has not been paying close attention to what's really been happening.
And Michelle and George W Bush have become quite the item. Good lord! This woman seems to have a major attraction for war criminals.
Mi amigo/My friend said he read a comment from a brainwashed "Democratic" Party Cultist where she was saying, "Obama makes me so proud to be an American." (roll eyes) And why is that? What a stupid and shallow thing to say. Oh yes, I know you just adore your god Obama don't you? Such a good little Obama boot licker. The worship and glorification of god Obama. Even though you probably don't have a clue what he did in office. Most of the Obama Cultists/Obamabots lived in a coma of denial during his 8 years in office. They didn't care what he was doing. He had a D next to his name for "Democrat" and that's all that mattered to the brainwashed "Democratic" Party Cultists. Their thinking was: "Obama's wars are perfectly fine. War is only bad when there is a Republican in office." And one being "proud" to be living in the hemisphere called the Americas or specifically in the United States of America should have nothing to do with any politician. One should think of oneself as a citizen of the Earth rather than from any arbitrary geographic borders, and I guess this person agreed with what neocon, right-wing George W Bush did since Obama mostly did the same thing and expanded much of what Bush did. But you know, I suspect that this brainwashed partisan doesn't have a clue what Obama did. She was merely regurgitating her "Democratic" Party Cultist brainwashing along with ugly nationalism.

1 Although they are critical of Feinstein out of one side of their mouth, out of the other side of their mouth some of the "Democratic" Party Cultists rush to defend Feinstein by trying to imply that her years of political experience in the Senate override or are more important than her lack of a law degree or legal training. Oh stop! WTF? I swear, some partisans love to embarrass themselves by stooping to any level to try to defend their basura politicians. I'm well aware of her years of political experience and her often Republican-enabling voting record and especially her sitting on committees where she had "influence" over war-profiteering with her husband's, Richard Blum's company. [Source]:
"Feinstein's political fortunes rest not on representing the human rights values of her base in San Francisco, but on the considerable fortune of her husband, investment banker Richard Blum. This fortune, although technically separated from hers by various trusts, has been greatly enhanced by the war on terror. Blum's war profiteering is anchored by his Blum Capital group, which owns major defense contractor URS. Blum also has ownership interest in a defunct cargo airline with defense department contracts, Astar Cargo, and a major construction firm with major contracts for the military as well as civilian reconstruction contracts with Iraq."
I've also had the misfortune of hearing her say in hearings that she doesn't have a law degree or any legal training "but as best I can understand you…." She wouldn't be spouting that if she had legal training. I've not heard Senator Kamala Harris say that. She earned her Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from the University of California Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.

Dear Joseph and Kenzie,
You BOTH learned to love baths. Yay, Joseph!
Two months! This has been a big month too. You both had lots of new adventures. You went to church for the first time.
To the beach for the first time. Surprisingly, Joseph, you loved the water and Kenzie, my water baby, you did not enjoy. I think it was too cold for you. You snoozed under an umbrella instead.
You sat in the Bumbo for the first time. Kenzie, you like it because you're short enough to rest your head on the back. My big boy, that head is just too heavy for you still!
Joseph, you praised The Lord for the first time. ;-)
And Kenzie, at just 5 weeks old, you rolled over from tummy to back. The video only shows side to back, but you can go fully over. You do it whenever mommy tries to make you do tummy time. That, or go to sleep.
There were lots of smiles from both of you, who learned to socially smile and do it a lot!
There were also many pensive looks.
And of course, some sad faces!
You BOTH learned to love baths. Yay, Joseph!
You also love each other.
Joseph, you started sleeping 5-6 hours at night without waking up. Kenzie, you're still every 3. However, right at 2 months you both went on strike. Joseph, you're back to 3 hours, and you both won't sleep unless you're ON mommy. It's been a rough week!
I am so enjoying watching your little personalities develop. Kenzie, you continue to be the drama queen. A smile from you is hard earned. But when you do smile, you light up the room. Joseph, you smile freely, and have started sympathy crying when your sis does. It would be cute if she didn't cry so much! But I love how you love her. You are both growing and changing so much! Joseph, you've started talking. We love to hear your voice! Kenzie, you are pretty quiet still (unless you're crying), and you soak everything in. You love to stare at the fan or at the pictures of mommy and daddy over their bed. Your daddy sings to you all the time, and you smile and look lovingly at him. You sure love your daddy.
I wish I could say you two were perfect at our monthly photo shoots. But the truth is, they mostly look like this:
But here you are, two months old! Two month stats (at the pediatrician, so you were actually 10 weeks):
Height- 23.5" 55%ile
Weight- 12 pounds, 10 ounces 60%ile
Sleep- The longest you've gone is 6 hours. You did that consistently weeks 6-7. Now at 2 months, you've reverted back to 3 hour stretches.
Eat- Still a lot. When you take a bottle you'll take 5 ounces.
Likes- Eating, mommy (love my little mama's boy), talking and smiling, baths
Dislikes- Having gas, waiting to eat, naps in your crib.
Height- 22.25 30%ile
Weight- 9 pounds, 6 ounces 10%ile (but you're on the regular charts now! Way to go, baby girl!)
Sleep- 3, maybe 4 hours max
Eat- Toward the end of the month, we got you all on breast milk. This was a task, because a bottle is just so much faster and, as we all know, you are not good with waiting. Sometimes you refuse (see: cry without stopping) and get a bottle. Daddy is happy, because now he doesn't have to get up at night.
Likes- Daddy singing to you, baths, sleeping in the big bed where mommy usually sleeps.
Dislikes- Naps if not being held, your crib, waiting.
You're getting too big! Mommy loves you!

I was married to the former Andrea Sinden on 28 February, 2009 in the
Seattle, Washington temple. It took some time to find her. I told
her that I was looking everywhere for her but she said I just needed
to look down ;). She is not that short though - she is 5'6" and I am
6'5" so we kind of compliment each other in a wacky numerical
palindrome sort of way.
I consider myself so very lucky to be married to such a sweet,
beautiful, talented woman. She has essentially two degrees, one in
international business and one in opera performance :). She even
plays one of my favorite instruments, the cello! We got to perform
Beethoven's 9th with the Utah Symphony Chorus last Summer at the Sun
Valley Music Festival - so fun and one of my all-time favorite pieces.
Andrea and I have been happily married for a little over a year now.
I had been working as a software developer for the Church in the
missionary department until recently. A couple of months ago, I took
a job that has brought us down to Austin, Texas. We, along with our
three little cats made the twenty-two hour drive down here and set up
our little home. We are also expecting a little baby girl in August.
Fortunately, we have air conditioning!
Nice memories from the mission:
- Pesto and focaccia in Genova (yum!)
- Doing a special kind of sidewalk chalk mostra in Nervi on the boardwalk
- Humbling experiences with companions who taught me many great life lessons
- Singing at the 30th anniversary of the Church in Torino
- Teaching and learning from Pino Donato and Ezio and John Odigie
(from Nigeria) and many others
- So many other wondrous little experiences
I still think of friends made in the mission and pray for you. Take care!

Wow...14 years ago I went to Italy for the first time...
Today I'm living in Germany. My husband, John, is my partner in crime and makes me laugh harder than anyone else ever. Sixteen months ago I was blessed with our beautiful daughter, Isabella, who unfortunately inherited her mama's stubborn side, but is so incredibly charming and funny that we can't help but love her to pieces. I also have three stepkids, but only my stepdaughter, Maddie (7) lives here with us in Germany...she's my best helper and full of "spitfire."
John is in the US Army. We live on a base on the far eastern side of Germany near the Czech border. I've loved being back in Europe and I've been back to Lugano already to visit la famiglia Nardotto as well as others. We've done lots of traveling around Germany, the Czech Republic and Austria. I was really excited to be here for the 20th anniversary for the fall of the Berlin Wall. I am glad, however, that we have another 2 years here...it just might take me that long to finally learn German.
I've been working the past 10 years in marketing for state energy efficiency programs. I can't do my job from Germany so I've taken a sabbatical and get to relax a little as a stay at home mom and play with the kiddos and eat cheerios and tromp around in the snow.
I love reading about missionaries that I "once knew..." My favorite memories are always of my MTC group, Lugano and Ilaria and President Clegg and Sorella Stephanie Smith...and pretty much the whole 18 months of my mission.
Our family blog is http://chuckleheads.blogspot.com/.
Later gators...

My wife, Brooke, and I live in Vernal, UT. We have 2 wonderful and happy girls, age 11 and 1. In the Fall of 2009 we purchased a ReBath franchise that covers Eastern Utah and Western Colorado, so that keeps me jumping and running.
Brooke is an amazing support and encouragement to me! She is the love of my life and my very best friend and cheerleader.
My in-laws live across the street and we love doing activities and projects together with the family band, arts council and church service.
Last Summer I had the privilege of staffing Woodbadge. The summer before I was able to help with Youth Leadership Training (Timberline). Both experiences were amazing opportunities to review and help others learn leadership skills.

I remember fondly the people, food, and lessons learned from my time in Italy. Some of the greatest moments were when I learned from my companions and leaders.
Sophia and I have been married for 10 years. We have 2 fantastic girls (ages 2 and 1) with a third on the way.
After graduating from BYU, I moved to Austin, TX where Sophia was finishing school. We moved to the Philadelphia area about 3 years ago. Currently, we are both in school at the University of Pennsylvania. I am getting my MBA at the Wharton School and my wife is getting her Masters at the School of Nursing. We are enjoying the East Coast but look forward to some day in the future to return back West.

I still look back on my mission as a very important and defining building block to my personal life. I was fortunate to visit Europe on two occasions before the mission with my family but the Mission is what really drove my interest to move back here and be among the people and serve them. As you may well know, I currently live in Zurich and have been here for almost 4 years with my wife and 3 beautiful daughters, one of which just arrive in November. This is the second time I've lived in Europe after the mission. The first was a trial period (mostly for my wife) during my graduate program where we lived just across the boarder from Geneva, Switzerland for 1 year. I love this place and it remains very close to my heart. However the time has come for us to return back to the states where we can settle down for a while and take care of our children. I am happy to say that both my wife and I have served the Lord to our best abilities while we've been here and hopefully have helped plant seeds or strenghten others who have faced difficulty.
Thank you so much for your great examples and may the Lord continue to bless you beyond your needs and desires. I look forward to the opportunity to visit you guys now that we will be living in SLC again.
Un grande abbraccio

England U21 stars pay a visit to Nazi death camps in Poland in time out from their European Championship campaign
Young Lions visited two death camps during the war ahead of their semi-final in Poland on Tuesday
AIDY BOOTHROYD and members of his England Under-21 squad paid an emotional visit to the Nazi death camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau on Saturday.
The Young Lions heroes made the sombre trip ahead of their Euro 2017 semi-final against Germany on Tuesday.
They were taken on a tour of Auschwitz before being shown the second camp at nearby Birkenau.
Keep up to date with ALL the football news, gossip, transfers and goals on our page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary.
Boothroyd said: "It was something we wanted to do. It's a poignant and quite an upsetting place, but it's somewhere that everybody should visit to see what happened there.
"It is a place that I'm glad I've gone to. It just puts things into perspective and in a strange way, I'm pleased that a lot of the lads
wanted to go and visit and show their respect.
"We've done what I think is the right thing. Everybody who wanted to go went, staff and players so I'm glad we've done it."
FA technical director Dan Ashworth also joined Boothroyd and some of his players on the trip, which was not compulsory.
The tours of the camps provide a harrowing reminder of the horrific events of the Holocaust.
England U21 skipper James Ward-Prowse – who asked if he and his team-mates who wanted to do so could join Boothroyd and his staff on the visit – said: "It was moving and a very humbling experience for all of us.
"It's obviously a tragic thing that happened and it's been an experience for us to come and see what went on and where it happened.
"It's good to be able to use some of our time in Poland to come and see it."
"It's something I'd wanted to do for a long while and I think a few of the other lads felt the same as well.
"So it was something we suggested when we knew that we had some free time between games that we'd like to do and come and visit Auschwitz to pay our respects to those who sadly lost their lives.
"You hear and learn about the Holocaust and it's a tragic thing, but to actually go to Auschwitz and see the scale of it, it brings it home to you about the enormity of it all."
Boothroyd's squad has now moved to Krakow from their previous base in Kielce 75 miles away.
The full England squad also visited Auschwitz and Birkenau when they were based in Poland during Euro 2012.

I mixed round Lava beads with some black glass bead accents, and put it all together with some plated brass findings. These are elegantly long, 3-1/4 inches from the plated brass lever-back ear-wires. They are not very heavy, but more heavy than your normal cheap earrings would be.
I suggest that if you have allergies to metals, you ask about alternate ear-wires before you order, as plated ones can cause discomfort.
All my jewelry is handmade by me, Wendi "Ace" Elkins! Each piece is unique. Feel free to inquire about custom pieces if you see something you like, but want to change colors, or length. I am happy to quote prices.
I also make custom wire-wrapped jewelry using your stones. Just ask for more information by email.

Devastating Earthquake Rocks Japan; Setback for Anti-Gadhafi Forces
Aired March 11, 2011 - 18:00 ET
WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: We're following the breaking news here in THE SITUATION ROOM: Japan reeling from a monumental natural disaster, the most powerful earthquake in its history, followed by a killer tsunami. This is what it looked like when the 8.9 quake struck Japan mid- afternoon Friday, shock, fear, horror in a country all too familiar to earthquakes, then, a wave of death, a 30-foot-high wall of water sweeping across fields and highways and towns, this tsunami reaching as far as six miles, 10 kilometers inland. In the latest developments, Japanese media report hundreds of people dead, hundreds more missing. It's feared the death toll will reach more than 1,000. There have been dozens of aftershocks and two more strong earthquakes have struck. More tremors could follow. Authorities are also struggling to cool down a nuclear reactor shaken by this earthquake. Officials may release radioactive steam to try to reduce the pressure at the reactor. Joining me now this hour, CNN International's Kristie Lu Stout. She's joining us from our bureau in Hong Kong. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world for our breaking news coverage of this earthquake catastrophe in Japan. I'm Wolf Blitzer, and you're in THE SITUATION ROOM. ANNOUNCER: This is CNN breaking news. BLITZER: Kristie, as we watch this aftermath of this earthquake and tsunami, the devastating wall of water up to 30 feet high, it's erasing everything in its path. This is so, so heartbreaking. And I fear, Kristie, that the devastation that we will see in the coming hours will be so much worse now that it's daylight, after 8:00 a.m., in Japan right now, and the situation is only going to be underlined as going from bad to worse. KRISTIE LU STOUT, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: That's right. It's 7:00 a.m. here in Hong Kong. It's 8:00 a.m. there in Japan. And very soon, we're going to get a much more clear picture of the devastation there. And, Wolf, I just want to describe to you the feeling here in the newsroom when we watched live those pictures, the aerial footage from Sendai of that wave of water crashing through Sendai, the town just 130 kilometers away from the epicenter of that earthquake, and watching that torrent just sweep away the dirty debris, the water there, the wall of water up to 30 meters high sweeping away cars, ships, homes, entire communities. Utter devastation. Now, it is a sea of liquid destruction, water, mud and debris. And the earthquake was horrible. But in the end, the damage from the tsunami may be far, far worse. Lisa Sylvester is looking into that. BLITZER: We're going to get to Lisa shortly, Kristie. She has a special report for us. But let's show the viewers some of these pictures once again that are so, so heartbreaking, so devastating. And as you see these pictures, you see the cars, you see the devastation, you can only imagine the people who have been killed by this earthquake and tsunami, the people who have been injured and the hundreds if not thousands who are still missing. We have seen various reports. We have seen various reports of a lot of people who are missing, whole towns simply leveled, areas near the epicenter that have been destroyed. And these are aerial shots courtesy of our affiliate. This is TV Asahi. Paula Hancocks is in Japan. She's been watching the situation. As it's now daylight over all of Japan, Paula, we can only appreciate the devastation more and more. But what are you seeing, what are you hearing there? PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, as you say, it is 8:00 in the morning. The sun came up just a couple of hours ago. And it would have been the first chance to really see what kind of devastation there was. Now, it's very difficult to tell you exactly how bad the devastation is because quite frankly we don't know yet. Nobody knows. We know the Japanese prime minister, Kan, is in a helicopter. He's touring the area to assess for himself just how bad his people have been hit. And he's also going to the Fukushima nuclear power plant to make sure that that is not going to have any radiation leaks. There's been some serious concern about the reactor there not cooling. And he's going to be going to that particular area. But this will really be one of the first chances for many of the emergency crews to get on the ground for the first time. It's almost impossible to do that when it's pitch black, when you don't know what you're seeing on the ground. And certainly people would have had a horrendous night waiting for those emergency crews. And it's very difficult for them to get there. I am currently at one of the airports trying to fly north. It's very difficult. Aid agencies here trying to fly north, they can't get there as well. And of course, with the telecommunications out at the moment in the worst-affected area , it is just making a very difficult job so much harder -- Wolf. BLITZER: It's probably only going to be possible with helicopters to get anywhere close, since these runways in these areas, these airports in the north where this devastation has occurred, I'm sure these runways are not suitable right now for planes to land. So it's going to be an issue, what the president of the United States spoke about, the lift capacity to get help, to get water, food, medicine to the areas. It's going to be a huge, huge problem. Paula stand by. Kristie has a question for you as well. STOUT: OK, Paula, we're looking at these live pictures from our affiliate TV Asahi, these new pictures. It is now 8:00 a.m. local time there on Sunday, the area most affected by the tsunami waves generated from yesterday's massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake. Can you tell us more about Sendai, the area? We know that because of its proximity to the epicenter, it was very much affected, but was it also very much affected because of the low-lying terrain? HANCOCKS: Well, certainly that will play into it. But it's also it's one of the highly populated areas of that particular prefecture. Now, there's probably a million people that live in Sendai at one any time, but around 20,000 to 30,000, we understand, if not more, were evacuated. And the thing that officials will be very interested to see is whether or not their warning and their telling people to evacuate immediately was actually heeded. If it was, many more lives will be saved. Now, the Japanese are not strangers to earthquakes. They're not strangers to tsunami warnings, but they do take them very seriously. But the fact there was only about 15 minutes between the earthquake and the tsunami hitting. It really is a case of how many people were able to get out of the area in time. But as you say, it is a very low-lying a very flat area, which is why we're seeing those pictures from yesterday and we could see just how quickly and how water could move, and just how devastating it was carrying all that debris. STOUT: There are a number of nuclear power plants in the affected area. A state of emergency is in effect at one power plant. How will that complicate the relief effort? HANCOCKS: Well, certainly, it's never going to help, anything like that. I mean, it is going to be a consideration in the back of everybody's mind. The prime minister is touring that area at the moment. That is his first port of call. So obviously that is his first concern to make sure that there isn't a radiation leak, to make sure that there is no danger to people who are living in that neighborhood. Now, we know that at least 3,000 people, some are saying now 10,000 people, could have been evacuated from around the power plants, at least 3,000, some saying 10,000 -- sorry, three to 10 kilometers have been cleared as well to make sure that nobody is close by, because it is just an added problem and certainly it's something that the prime minister is taking very seriously. And it's his number-one priority at this point. But the emergency teams themselves, they are looking to help the people, they are looking to get aid on the ground. And of course it has to come from the air. STOUT: Well, Paula Hancocks joining us live from Osaka. Let's take it back to Wolf. BLITZER: We will be going back to Paula. Kyung Lah, our other correspondent, is in Japan as well. Plus, we're establishing contact, Kristie, with several other people who have suffered throughout these hours in the aftermath of this earthquake and tsunami. The tsunami hit along Japan's Pacific coastline, causing massive, massive amounts of damage. We're showing you the pictures. The pictures are so devastating. Lisa Sylvester has been going through some of these images for us. So, Lisa, tell our viewers more about what has happened over these past 17, 18 hours in Japan. LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Wolf, you might not think of water as being such a powerful force, but when you look at these waves crashing into homes, crashing into buildings, essentially just sweeping everything in its path away, these are very powerful pictures that we want us all now to take a look at. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) SYLVESTER (voice-over): Unbelievable video from Japan of the raging water coming right at you, large houses and buildings pushed out of the way, waves crashing on top. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A tsunami engulfing the whole port area, so long as we can see. SYLVESTER: The force of the water toppled cars off bridges. Watch as the water swiftly blankets this farmland. Houses are submerged. You see someone here waving a white cloth out of a window of an upper floor, hoping to be rescued. The Japanese city of Sendai bore the brunt. Fires broke out. The airport is now submerged in water. Those lucky enough made it to the roof, where they now wait. YASUO TANAKA, KOBE UNIVERSITY: Sendai City has a population of 1.03 million people. And also Sendai City is located in a very flat area. So, it must have been shaken. So, I'm really kind of afraid of next -- tomorrow. SYLVESTER: The 8.9-magnitude earthquake triggered the tsunami. Witnesses describe watching the earth roll beneath them. HARRIS PAYTON, WITNESS: The whole ground was shaking so much. It was unreal. I can't describe it. It's just -- it was -- it felt like someone was just pulling you back and forth, like, side to side as hard as they could. SYLVESTER: A tsunami occurs when an earthquake displaces rock at the bottom of the ocean, pushing rock up to the surface, forming a powerful wave. Boats on the open water are less affected. But the waves move at supersonic speed, colliding with the coastline. TOM O'ROURKE, CORNELL UNIVERSITY: There's devastation as the wave comes in, but as the wave then goes back out, there's very severe erosion and flow of water in a backwards direction. You get the water coming in with great velocity and force picking up all sorts of debris and washing it ashore, and you get a lot of debris and material going in the opposite direction back out which is just as destructive as the incoming wave. SYLVESTER: This tsunami showed its power as it moved across, wiping the land and everything on it clean. (END VIDEOTAPE) SYLVESTER: You know, Wolf, also, some of those waves got as high as 20 to 30 feet. We saw a number of the people who were stranded on top of those buildings, and now that rescue effort is only just beginning, Wolf. BLITZER: What amazing, devastating pictures. Thank you very much for sharing that with our viewers here in the United States and around the world, Lisa Sylvester. Kristie is with us in Hong Kong. Kristie, as we show our viewers some live pictures that we're getting in now from our affiliates in Japan, I want our viewers to take a look at the destruction. It's now 8:12 a.m. Saturday morning in Japan right now. And you can see what has happened, these buildings, these structures simply destroyed as a result of the earthquake, followed by the tsunami. It's heartbreaking to think about the people who may have been inside those buildings. And you multiply this image that we're seeing by hundreds, if not thousands, you begin to appreciate the destruction of what has occurred. STOUT: Yes, we're getting a very, very clear picture of the devastation as a result of that 8.9-magnitude earthquake and the deadly tsunami that followed. Now, let's remind our viewers that Sendai, which is just 120 kilometers away from the epicenter of the quake, was an agricultural community. But if you look at these live pictures, this live aerial video coming in this morning, as we are finally getting a look at what the devastation looks like to us, it is water. You do not see fields. You do not see green areas. You see water; you see homes clearly destroyed. Just a moment ago, it looked like naked foundations where homes once stood, so just underscoring the power of the torrent, being able to just throw aside everything that was in its way, homes, cars, ships, entire communities. This is really heartbreaking to look at -- Wolf. BLITZER: Yes, it's amazing. And we're not going to leave this story, because the images are only coming in. We're beginning to get a lot more of these images. Look at this from our affiliate NHK. You can see what is going on, the water surrounding these structures in the northern part of Japan. We will get back to that. There is also, by the way, Kristie, some breaking news out of Libya that we're following. Ben Wedeman is going to be following us in a moment. I want to update our viewers on that, because it's important that we not neglect what's going Libya as well. We will check in with Ben Wedeman in a moment. We will stay on top of the story, the earthquake, the tsunami, the fallout in Japan, much more of the breaking news in THE SITUATION ROOM coming up after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) STOUT: Live from CNN Hong Kong, I'm Kristie Lu Stout. And we continue our coverage of the devastating 8.9-magnitude earthquake in Japan and the equally devastating, even more devastating tsunami that was unleashed afterwards. Let's bring up for you these dramatic pictures of the tsunami, the tsunami there in Sendai, the area in northeastern Japan most affected by the earthquake. You're looking at the torrent of water just pushing everything away out of its path, cars, ships, homes -- on top of the that bridge, you can see cars and individuals trying to get away from the torrent there. When we were watching these pictures live in our newsroom yesterday, there was a hush here as we looked at the aerial footage and was trying to make sense of just the utter devastation, human, physical, utterly devastating, the death toll still unclear, as it is now 8:17 a.m. in the morning in Japan. Emergency crews only just now rushing to the scene to get a clearer sense of what is needed to offer help on the ground. Now, let's go to our Wolf Blitzer back in Washington for breaking news in another part of the world -- Wolf. BLITZER: Kristie, stand by for a moment. We're going to go right back to Japan. But there's breaking news out of Libya right now, apparently, a huge setback for opposition forces to Gadhafi. CNN's Ben Wedeman is on the phone for us from Eastern Libya. Ben, update the viewers. BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, it's just after 1:00 a.m. in the morning here. And what is going on appears to be a massive retreat by the rebel forces from their positions around Ras Lanuf and also Brega. We -- just one hour ago, people were banging on our door in the house we were staying in, in Brega saying that the Libyan army is on the way, that Gadhafi forces are advancing eastward. And what I'm seeing now -- I'm at the main checkpoint to the east of the town of Brega -- and I'm seeing car after car and pickup after pickup of anti-Gadhafi fighters heading eastward, heading away from the front lines, where today we saw in Ras Lanuf there was an intense and sustained bombardment by Libyan armed forces on their positions. They clearly have been outgunned. They simply don't have the firepower to match it. And now they are streaming away as far as they can from those apparently advancing Libyan forces -- Wolf. BLITZER: A lot of U.S. officials have suggested to me their fear that with much of the world now focused in on this earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Ben, Gadhafi is going to simply unleash his military, his troops, and they're going to launch a major offensive to crush the rebels, while much of the world is looking at another part of the world. Is that the fear that the rebels, that the opposition forces have right now as well? WEDEMAN: That's one of the many fears that they have, that the world, that the international community is completely distracted, and this was an ideal opportunity for Libyan forces to move ahead, to press the advantage of their superior firepower, their superior airpower to move forward. And certainly that's what we saw today was, as I said before, this unrelenting bombardment. And we heard from Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, the son of the Libyan leader, saying that, we're going to go east. And that appears to be what is going on right now. Right now, I'm just looking at lines of cars passing through this checkpoint, civilians, as well as fighters, all of them fleeing away from what appears to be an advancing Libyan army. BLITZER: Ben, what about Benghazi? That's been, shall we say, the capital, the second largest city of Libya, of the opposition forces, where the opposition has established itself, where France has now gone ahead and recognized this opposition as the legitimate government of Libya. How secure, how safe are these opposition elements in Benghazi? WEDEMAN: It's very difficult to say, actually, because what has happened is that many of the young men and many of the people with military experience from Benghazi streamed ahead, streamed hundreds of kilometers to the west, thinking that they were launching a campaign, an offensive that would allow them to go to Surt, Gadhafi's hometown, through Tripoli. And now we see that they're all going in the opposite direction. So it's very difficult to really think with clarity that Benghazi is well defended, as most of the young men from that town are somewhere between the front lines and Benghazi. It's a situation of chaos and confusion, of disorganization. They don't have communications. The cell phone system has been taken down. The only way I can talk to you right now is on this satellite telephone. And what I'm seeing is just a mad rush away from what appears to be the advancing Libyan army -- Wolf. BLITZER: A huge setback obviously for the rebel forces, the opposition to Gadhafi. We will check back with Ben Wedeman in Libya. Stand by. We also want to stay on top of this disaster in another part of the world, namely in Japan, where there was an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, followed by a monster, monster tsunami. A lot of people are dead. Many more are injured. Many are still missing, the devastation only now becoming clear to the rest of the world, as it's daylight, approaching 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning in Tokyo. We will continue our breaking news coverage from Japan. We're going to live to the scene right after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) STOUT: Welcome back. You're watching our continued live coverage of the aftermath of the massive earthquake and tsunami there in Japan. It's now after 8:00 a.m. in the morning. We're getting finally a picture of what it looks like, the devastation on the ground. We're relying on our resources on the ground, from our affiliates, TV Asahi, to take a look at what it looks like the day after that massive, massive earthquake struck yesterday 2:26 p.m. local time. Scenes there on your screen, I believe from Sendai, which is the community that was most affected by this earthquake, the community that was just 130 kilometers east of the epicenter, and also the community that was hit by the torrent of water that swept through this agricultural town of some one million people, just sweeping away cars, ships, homes, entire communities. Wolf Blitzer is also here -- Wolf. BLITZER: We're watching all of this unfold, Kristie, from our vantage point in THE SITUATION ROOM and the feeds that are coming in from our affiliates in Japan, NHK, TV Asahi, others. And look at this. This tsunami just devastated everything in its wake, the devastation reminding a lot of us of what happened in Indonesia, certainly Katrina. We see people standing on rooftops just waving to helicopters, begging, begging for assistance as we watch all of this unfold. Chad Myers is watching it unfold as well for us. But, before we go to Chad, I want to go back to Kristie. Kristie, you have got a special guest who is there who will be telling us what he experienced. STOUT: That's right. In fact, it's a historian in Japan, scholar Karl Friday. He says the Tokyo office of IES Abroad, which runs oversee programs for American students. He joins us by phone on the line from Tokyo. And, of course, we have been discussing the most affected area, Sendai, but Tokyo has been affected in a big way as well, a major metropolis, some, what, 12 13 million people who live there. The city has been in standstill, in paralysis since the quake struck yesterday. What is the situation this morning? KARL FRIDAY, JAPAN SCHOLAR: Hello? STOUT: Hello. Karl, can you hear me? This is Kristie in Hong Kong. Can you describe the situation in Tokyo now? FRIDAY: Well, from our vantage point here, things look reasonably calm. We're on the outskirts in Tokyo, in Chiba, just on the border into Tokyo proper. And this particular area, doesn't seem to have been a whole lot of visible damage outside. There's some major stuff in the not-too-far-way immediate area. (CROSSTALK) STOUT: Now, you just mentioned Chiba. A number of our viewers and myself, we recall that there was a fire at an oil facility in Chiba. Is that fire -- has that been extinguished by now? FRIDAY: I have no idea. I'm only getting that from the TV. It's nothing I can see from here. STOUT: OK. Can you describe what you can see from your vantage point, and, in particular, the issue of where people were able to stay last night? Mass transit lines, which is the lifeline of Tokyo, had to shut down on the back of this earthquake. So where were you, your colleagues, your friends? Where did you spend the night last night? FRIDAY: I spent the night here at the IES Abroad Center office. The -- most of the staff was able to get home. Quite a few of the staff were actually off yesterday afternoon, which was good timing. We got lucky in that most of our students were -- are not in country at the moment, because we're between semesters. We only have six students on the ground. We were able to get ahold of them immediately. We have an emergency cell phone procedure in place, and we were able to contact everybody right away. Everybody is safe and secure. Most of the students are in their dorms. A couple of them were out and about. One was caught in transit flying into the country. But everybody is safe and in good shelter for the night. I understand a good bit of Tokyo spent the night in train stations and public squares and gyms and things like that. The trains are just starting to run again. Here... STOUT: Thank you for joining us abroad. FRIDAY: Pardon me? STOUT: Thank you very much for joining us to share with us your story from there in Tokyo. Let's go back to Wolf. BLITZER: Kristie, the tsunami that's devastated the northern part of Japan, it still has an effect elsewhere around the world. Hard to believe. Chad Myers is joining us. Chad, there are still some tsunami alerts, tsunami warnings out there. What's going on? CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: That would be for Chile, down here on the southern part of South America. There's North America right there. Here would be Hawaii and then Australia. And the epicenter of the quake, a massive upheaval of the crust of the ground under the water that pushed the water up. That bubble of water had to move somewhere and put it into motion. Amazing animation from NOAA. It continued to move away from Japan. Eventually, about 9 a.m. this morning right through Lahina (ph) with a 9-foot wave, not even about a 7-foot wave. Then we were watching and waiting for it to approach the West Coast. Crescent City, the marina there devastated with an 8-foot wave. That's eight feet up and then eight feet down below that. So a 16- foot difference. And the waves just pulled the docks and the boats all through that marina. It was pretty much devastating there. We're going to take you through what else happened as the -- and why we didn't get a giant wave along the West Coast is because there again the epicenter. The energy of the wave was pushed to the south of us and not -- into the southeast. And not just to the east: toward the U.S. The energy was actually pushed down toward Chile. That's why there's a warning there now. It just took a long time for that wave to get there. The biggest wave through Midway and back out here. Some of this purple area there where there weren't any islands, thank goodness, could have had 30- or 40-foot waves. We know, though, that when the wave pushed back towards Japan, that there was a 30-foot wave there, at least somewhere. Here's how it all works. The ground pushes. It's called a subduction zone. Two different plates. The plate goes down. This plate gets crushed together. And eventually, the two pieces of land that are pushing together can't push together any more, and one pops up. And this one here, as it pops into the moisture into the water here, it has to go somewhere and eventually pushes the water up, and that bubble of water is the tsunami. Now, there was a lot of shaking. There was an awful lot of damage because of the shaking. But I would say at least 90 percent of the fatalities, if not more, if not almost 100, would be caused by that bubble or that wall of water that came onshore yesterday -- Wolf. BLITZER: Chad, is there any -- any way to compare this earthquake tsunami disaster to what happened in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, to other similar incidents around the world? I know this is the worst earthquake in the history of Japan, at least since they started recording it, 8.9 magnitude. MYERS: Yes. You know, Banda Aceh at 9.1 and 9.0 and this being 8.9, not that much difference, really, in the amount of energy released. And this earthquake was only 45 miles away from the shore. And it was the preparedness of the Japanese people that made this -- and I know a thousand people are going to be killed in this. But compared to 230,000 people killed in that earthquake tsunami in 2004. And all of the people that lived here, from Sendai all the way down to Cuba (ph), all of this area, there are a million people in the city here of Sendai, and they all -- they lived. They got out of the way. The water came in, but they were prepared for it. And it's hard to imagine how only with 5 to 10 minutes' notice, people were able to get out of the way of the tsunami. They did it. It was daylight. Maybe that helped. Not in the middle of the night. People were awake. They knew what to do. They -- and they had a plan. And this country has a plan a plan for basically everything. And that tsunami, although it should have been a killer more than it did, it moved on shore and moved off shore. And I know we're going to find more tonight and the numbers are going to rise, but this was -- this was a miracle that more people did not perish with an 8.9. Only five minutes away when it comes to a tsunami moving at 400 miles per hour. BLITZER: When you think about the devastation in Haiti with a 7.0 magnitude earthquake... MYERS: Yes. BLITZER: ... and now an 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan. As bad as it is, as horrendous as it is, and it is awful, what you're saying is it could have been so much worse if the Japanese had not been prepared for these kinds of crises. MYERS: Right. Of course it's a devastating event. There's no question about it. But a 7.0 compared to an 8.9 would be almost 500 times more powerful. More movement of the land compared to the Haiti earthquake. Well, the Haiti buildings were just not ready for that 7.0, where the Japanese island and the way that people build their cities and how they make their plants, they were ready for this, even though I guess you can never be ready for almost a 9.0 earthquake. BLITZER: No, never. All right, Chad. We'll check back with you. I want to go back to the live pictures that we're seeing right now. Live pictures coming in from our affiliate. This is from TV Asai (ph) and NHK. You can see people still on those roofs. They're waving. They're desperately pleading for help right now, because all of those buildings surrounded now by water. They can't get out of those buildings. There's no power. Fortunately, it's daylight. It's just after 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning there, but these people are begging for help right now. Kristie, as we watch what's going on, our heart goes out to all of these people who are stranded and are so desolate. STOUT: Wolf, this is a heart-wrenching scene that we are witnessing live on our screens, courtesy of TV Asai (ph). Live pictures there of the tsunami survivors on the roofs of their buildings. They're surrounded by water. They're using whatever white cloth that they were able to find in that building to signal for help. That helicopter was able to get that signal. Right now it is around 8:30 a.m. in the morning local time. Help is not there in Sendai yet. Help, rescue crews are still on their way, trying to get there. Look at that live on your screen. A survivor. An earthquake and tsunami survivor spelling out the words. Did you see that? Spelling out the world "help". Issuing that world help to the entire world right now. Again, it is 8:30 in the morning. Rescue crews on their way to Sendai. Some 17 1/2 hours since that massive earthquake struck. And here is the view from one CNN iReporter, who tells us about the moment when the earthquake struck, 2:22 p.m. local time yesterday. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) (WIND) (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) STOUT: It is now some 18 hours since a magnitude 8.9 earthquake struck off the coast of Northeast Japan. It also unleashed massive tsunami waves, waves as tall as 30-feet-high sweeping through the agricultural community of Sendai. We've been getting first pictures, first aerial video footage of what Sendai looks like this morning. It is now past 8:30 a.m. local time. Rescue crews are on their way there. And what we see is a land deluged with water. Now, these are taped pictures of the tsunami arriving and just sweeping through the land. Right now you're looking at what we're seeing this morning. It is roughly 8:42 in the morning local time there in Sendai. You can see quite clearly it is just a water-sogged area. What was once agricultural land, home to one million people, now is a disaster zone. Water was one threat. And fire, it was another. A refinery fire in one town sent thick, black smoke into the sky. Despite a series of aftershocks, one iReporter captured the explosion on tape and sent us this video. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) AUGUST ARMBRUSTER, IREPORTER: Here's some of the aftershocks which caused a fire at the chemical plant to blow up. You can't see that clearly, but there's a big fire right over there. Oh, it just blew up. Woo! Woo! This is crazy! Oh. Let's go. It's not done. It's not done. I'm going back in! Oh! Look at it. I'm back. I left, and it blew up again. I don't know what's going on, but I'm staying now, so, woo! Woo! I'm tired of running. I don't ever run. Dang! This is wild, yo. I'm on the street. I'm out on the street. I feel like Tom Cruise. All right. Coming to you live. It's bad, man. I can't believe the plant blew up. That's horrible. (END VIDEO CLIP) STOUT: And joining us now is the man who shot that video, August Armbruster. He joins us live from Ishihara. August, can you walk us through the moments leading up to that explosion that you caught on tape? ARMBRUSTER: OK. I was in my house with my family. And this is after the earthquake and the aftershocks have kind of subdued a little bit. And we hear a great boom in the distance. And we go outside, and the sky is lit bright orange for about a few seconds. And the neighbors tell us that a power plant blew up. And so I wanted to investigate. I was really curious. So I grabbed my camera and on adrenaline just ran over there. STOUT: Has the fire been put out? Do you still smell smoke in the air? ARMBRUSTER: No, the fire has been put out. It's contained now. STOUT: OK. OK, that's good news. Now, can you walk us through the moment when the earthquake struck, roughly around 2 p.m. local time yesterday? Where were you? What did you experience? ARMBRUSTER: I was actually babysitting my host brother and sister. And they were sleeping at the time, and the floor was shaking. And I wasn't sure what was going on. And then it escalated rather quickly. And actually, a bookshelf where the kids were sleeping actually started to tilt over. And I froze for a moment. I wasn't sure what to do. Then I got up quickly, and I grabbed it and put it against the wall. It almost fell over and crushed me. That was really scary. That was probably the worst part of the day for me. They slept through the whole thing, though. I'm not sure how. But they were sleeping. But the house shook. It felt like the floor was supported by Jell-O. The house was wobbly. I've never experienced anything like that before. STOUT: How are you and other survivors coping with the shock of disaster? ARMBRUSTER: The Japanese here are very prepared for earthquakes. So they seemed fine. During the crisis, the community, just random Japanese people will just come together and talk, help out each other. I thought that was very awesome. It's a very good thing that shows just how much the Japanese care for their country and just for their countrymen. The Japanese are doing fine. Where I live, there is not that much damage besides the oil refinery. STOUT: OK, August, we'll leave it at that. It seems like we've lost our connection with you, but thank you for sharing your story with us. And I'm very, very relieved to hear that you and your host family are safe. That was August Armbruster joining us live from Ishihara. Also, an iReporter captured this stunning image of that explosion at an oil facility there just outside Tokyo. But of course, Wolf, we know that the focus, the epicenter of this story of devastation is in the northeast of Japan in Sendai. BLITZER: That's a big city, Sendai. There's a million people there. So it's not just a little town in northeastern Japan. This is what it looked like in Sendai. All of a sudden the tsunami hit and you can see the water just destroying everything in its path, moving relentlessly going forward. These pictures are so heartbreaking to see this destruction. You've got to imagine that people were in those homes and those cars and working those fields. It happened in mid afternoon in Tokyo Friday afternoon. And now, what, some 17, 18 hours later we're only beginning to appreciate what's going on. It's approaching 9 a.m. in Japan right now. We have a lot more to cover. The president of the United States, President Obama, he spoke out about this, promising the Japanese people the U.S. would do whatever it could to help. We'll check in with the White House. We'll go back. More iReports coming in. Our correspondents in Japan are getting more eyewitness accounts of what's going on. We'll show you right after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) BLITZER: Eight point nine magnitude earthquake followed by a huge monster, killer tsunami. This has been a devastating day for the people of Japan. The whole world is watching right now what's going on. We're only beginning to appreciate the destruction and the devastation as it's daylight. Clearly moved by the tragedy, as well, President Obama today expressed his deep condolences to the people of Japan, and he vowed that the United States will do all it can to help. Our White House correspondent, Brianna Keilar, is standing by with more -- Brianna. BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Wolf, after answering a lot of questions about the kind of logistical help that the U.S. can provide Japan, it was the last question that President Obama took, 45 minutes into his briefing, where he discussed his emotional response to this disaster. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Your personal feeling... KEILAR (voice-over): It was a Japanese reporter who asked President Obama how the earthquake affects him on a personal level. BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I'm heartbroken by this tragedy. I think when you see what's happening in Japan, you are reminded that, for all our differences in culture or language or religion, that ultimately, humanity is one. KEILAR: President Obama has travelled to Japan twice during his presidency, and he said his response to the disaster is heightened by his connection to the people. OBAMA: I have such a close personal friendship and connection to the Japanese people in part because I grew up in Hawaii where I was very familiar with Japanese culture that that just makes, you know, our concerns that much more acute. KEILAR: The president's chief of staff woke him up at 4 a.m. to tell him about the quake in Japan. At 9:30 he received an in-depth briefing in the Oval Office. By 10:15 he was on the phone with Japanese Prime Minister Kan offering assistance. Obama pushed back his previously scheduled news conference by an hour and a half in response to the quake, and he ended his briefing on an optimistic note. OBAMA: I'm very confident, though, obviously, that the Japanese people are so resourceful. Japan is such a powerful economy and such an advanced economy technologically that Japan will successfully rebuild. (END VIDEOTAPE) KEILAR: Now, specifically, President Obama said he expects Japan will need help when it comes to clean-up, heavy machinery that will be needed to lift debris, and he also said that U.S. Energy Secretary Chu is in touch with Japanese officials so that they can provide any assistance needed when it comes to potentially damaged nuclear power plants. Now back to Kristie Lu Stout in Hong Kong. STOUT: OK, Brianna. Thank you very much, indeed. U.S. President Barack Obama stands ready to help Japan deal with the aftermath of the quake, and it is mobilizing its forces. Let's get straight to where CNN Pentagon correspondent Chris Lawrence, who's in Coronado, California -- Chris. CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Kristie. The U.S. military has really shifted into a mode of full steam ahead when it comes to trying to help Japan deal with this crisis. For example, the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan was already heading to that area, but it was supposed to do a training mission in Korea. It is now steaming as fast as possible to the waters off Honchu, Japan. The USS Tortuga left its base in Setsebu (ph), Japan, with some landing craft on board. It's now going Korea, getting some cargo helicopters and then getting back as soon as possible. Ships like the USS Blue Ridge is loading humanitarian aid. And the USS Essex with about 2,000 marines leaving Malaysia on its way, as well -- Kristie. STOUT: All right. Chris Lawrence joining us live from Coronado, California. We will have much more ahead of the aftermath of that massive earthquake in Japan. Much more right after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) BLITZER: Dramatic stories are coming out of Japan from Americans who have survived. Here's CNN's Mary Snow. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) MARY SNOW, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The way Janie Ludy tells it, her husband's escape from the Fukushima nuclear plant, in her words, sounded like hell on earth. She tells us her 52-year-old husband, Danny, reached her by a phone in Louisiana and told her he narrowly missed the tsunami, because he had difficulty getting out of the plant. JANIE LUDY, HUSBAND IN JAPAN: He was wading through, and it sounded like a tough spot banging on a big piece of glass and whatever debris. He cut his feet up, which slowed him down. The lights kept blacking out. He said he had to slow down, and he was helping to pull a fuse out with him and that, if he would have been a little faster, the water came. And he said it was, like, 30 foot or more. It was just huge. And we could see in the water the homes and cars and just parts of businesses and whatever just going by, and that was his lucky moment he said, that he had missed that. SNOW: Ludy says her husband told her he was able to get back to a hotel, but that, too, was badly damaged, and she said while they were talking, the ground kept shaking. LUDY: You could hear the wind blowing, and the waves were coming. We've got to go to higher ground. So that's where they were headed: to go to higher ground and try to stay the night as much as they could in the van. SNOW: Elsewhere in Fukushima this is what it looked like when the quake hit. RYAN MCDONALD, IREPORTER: Oh, my God. That is the biggest earthquake. It is still going. Oh, my God. The building is going to fall. SNOW: This video was shot by Ryan McDonald about 65 miles away from Sendai, which is close to the quake's epicenter. McDonald is an English teacher living in Japan for nine years and is no stranger to earthquakes. MCDONALD: I have just grown accustomed to them because they happen so often, but this one didn't stop. It was sheer terror. I cannot even begin to imagine people closer to the epicenter and how -- how bad they felt. SNOW: Because there are so many aftershocks, McDonald told us he spent part of the night sleeping in his car. He went to check on a nearby evacuation center, but it was packed. For now, he's bunking back in his apartment. MCDONALD: This, this is a big bag of water, a five-pound bag of water. We just lined up, and they gave it to us. I have no water service in my apartment. I can't flush the toilet. I can't drink anything. I have no gas. I do have electricity. I have no phone. I have Internet. (END VIDEOTAPE) SNOW: And Wolf, as for Danny Joe Ludy, the worker we told you about at the Fukushima nuclear plant, a spokesman at GE Hitachi nuclear energy says he is among 80 workers at the plant, including subcontractors. They are all accounted for and are safe -- Wolf. BLITZER: All right. Mary, thanks very much. We're going to stay on top of this story. I'm Wolf Blitzer in THE SITUATION ROOM. "JOHN KING USA" starts right now.

"'Lord, if it's you,' Peter replied, 'tell me to come to you on the water.' 'Come,' he said." Matthew 14:28-29 NIV
Read Matthew 14:22-33
Three pastors were fishing from a small boat. One said he needed to go to the shore. He stepped out of the boat and walked across the water to the shore. Later, another announced he also was going to shore and walked across the water to the shore.
Seeing the other two, the third pastor decided his faith was as strong and stepped out of the boat. Instantly, he sank and then swam to the shore. One of the pastors, still in the boat, said to the other: "I guess we should have told him where the rocks were just beneath the surface."
Great faith is essential, but common sense and knowledge are both gifts from GOD as well. During our daily lives, GOD gives us simple answers to what may seem like complicated questions. We need to use the common sense and knowledge from GOD embraced with absolute faith. JESUS will tell you where the rocks are.
Peter stepped out of the boat in faith; then allowed fear to take over. We can be judgmental of Peter's faith. Yet, Peter was the only one to step out in faith, while the other disciples sat in the boat. No one else stepped out in faith.
Are you stepping out in faith? Can you walk on water or do other things that require great faith to JESUS' outstretched arms? HE is waiting for you.
Today's prayer: "LORD JESUS, Thank YOU for loving me, even when my faith is weak. Please, help me to grow in my faith. I will trust in all YOU tell me to do. Amen."

- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent their first official Christmas with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royal family.
- During an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today show, Prince Harry revealed that his fiancée "really enjoyed it."
- According to Harry, Meghan Markle is doing an amazing job learning the royal family's traditions.
Prince Harry said he had a "fantastic" Christmas with his fiancée, Meghan Markle, who spent time with Queen Elizabeth and the royal family over the holiday.
"It was fantastic," the prince said of the family gathering during an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today show Wednesday. "She really enjoyed it."
"The family loved having her there," he added. "There's always that family part of Christmas [where] there's always that work element there as well, and I think together we had an amazing time. We had great fun staying with my brother and sister-in-law and running round with the kids. Christmas was fantastic."
Harry said that there were some family traditions that had to be explained to Meghan, but that it was to be expected.
"I think we've got one of the biggest families that I know of, and every family is complex as well. No look, she's done an absolutely amazing job. She's getting in there and it's the family I suppose that she's never had."
The BBC program also included a segment in which Harry interviewed former president Barack Obama about his post-presidency life. The conversation touched upon Obama's feelings relinquishing the office to Donald Trump, as well as his optimism for the future of young leaders. It also touched on a few light-hearted questions, such as whether Obama preferred The Good Wife or Suits when it comes to television.
"Suits, obviously," Obama told Harry, likely a reference to Markle's role on the series for seven seasons.
Harry was also asked about his wedding — and whether Obama would get an invite.
"I don't know about that - we haven't even put the invite or the guest list together," he said. "Who knows if he's going to be invited or not - I wouldn't want to ruin that surprise."

So holiday season?
Posted By Kartik Mudgal | On 17th, Mar. 2013 Under News | Follow This Author @KartikMdgl
It was earlier reported that Assassin's Creed 4 would ship on the same date on the next gen consoles, which led to the speculation that the consoles would be released around October.
That was not true as the creative director of the game, Jean Guesdon, has clarified these comments and has said that he meant something else.
The game has been confirmed to be releasing on next gen consoles but we do not have a release date for the consoles yet. We do know that the PS4 will be released during the holiday season this year.
The same ship date comment was only for the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U versions, Ubisoft told VG247. He has no idea about when the next gen consoles will come out and even if he does he will never say that because of NDA.
It was revealed in this interview with Outside Xbox. Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

His Royal Highness Prince Haji Sufri Bolkiah, President of Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council, Her Royal Highness Princess Fadzilah Lubabul Bolkiah, Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Muda 'Abdul 'Aleem and Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Anak Faiq in a group picture with the national netball team. – SEA GAMES SECRETARIAT
BRUNEI Darussalam national netball team put up a spirited fight in the 64-27 loss to gold medal favourites Malaysia in the preliminary round of the 29th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games at Juara Stadium Bukit Kiara in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
The national team fell short of the 30-point mark that they established against Singapore but this was a steady improvement from their 82-24 defeat to the same team in the previous edition two years ago.
It is also the second consecutive match that Brunei have narrowed the gap with supposedly two of the region's giants feeling the effect of their competitiveness in one of the four contested quarters.
Brunei closed the gap with the reigning Asian Netball Championships holders in the second quarter almost reminiscent of their display in the third quarter against Singapore but Malaysia stepped up a gear from the third quarter.
Malaysia head coach Tracey Robinson devised her own strategy and rested an automatic starter in An Najwa Azizan in the bench with team captain Nur Syazaliyana Mohd Ali who boasts an expertise in long throws joining her in the reserves.
However, they still have Norashikin Kamalzaman who terrorised the Bruneian defence two years ago in Singapore as their focal point of attack in the starting line-up.
Brunei's Siti Marhayati binti Ahmad squandered her side's first attempt after her shot hit the rim enabling Malaysia to take control of play inspired by the commanding presence of Norashikin.
The Malaysian goal shooter was in devastating form converting 15 of her side's 18 goals in the first quarter though Brunei had a respectable nine points in the intermediate result.
The Royal Bees started adventurously at the start of the second quarter with Nor Hafizah bte Haji Abdul Sidek in clinical mode scoring four baskets in quick succession as she increased her scoring accuracy.
The Bruneian top goal shooter missed her initial shot but showed determination to win the rebound and sunk a well-deserved point to help her side rake in more points.
National netball coach Thilaka Jinadasa valued highly the importance of Nor Hafizah in the squad though there is still room for improvement.
"She made good moves to overcome strong defenders and it helped to improve our momentum throughout the game. But still, she can do much better if she can be patient with shots," said Jinadasa of her goal shooter.
Although Brunei looked confident in passing the ball well, their good work at times were cut short as the Malaysian defence were alert to thwart any Brunei attack exemplified by the defensive prowess of Yap Suo Kuen.
The wing defence utilised her height advantage to retrieve the ball at arm length before making the transition from defence to attack.
Malaysia hit another gear in the third quarter after expanding their lead to 26 points thanks to a haul of 18 points compared to Brunei's five.
Brunei produced their best display in the third quarter against Singapore after matching them with 12 points but this was arguably their worst with their lowest point tally.
Malaysia brought on Izyan Syazana Mohd Wazir to the fold as she partnered up with the impressive Norashikin and contributed to Malaysia widening their lead.
Jinadasa gave a runout to one of their substitutes possibly to help the in-form Nur Hafizah save energy ahead of their remaining group fixtures against Philippines and Thailand.
Malaysia's goal-shooter Norashikin said that they have done their homework on Brunei's patterns of play and stuck to their strategies to overcome their opponents.
Meanwhile in the other match, Thailand hammered Philippines 86-16 as the former notched their first win of the tournament.
Brunei will play Philippines next in the preliminary round in a must-win encounter which is almost an identical situation that they faced during the previous edition in Singapore.
