"Risky Business" is 30 Years Old (Video)
It's hard to believe it was 30 years ago today that America first witnessed Tom Cruise dancing in his underwear. It was a role that turned Cruise from a newcomer into a person-to-watch.
The concept of the movie was solid. A teenager, left on his own by his vacationing parents, starts out with a pretty classic weekend of rebellion, and ends with a money-making enterprise promoting prostitution. The music was awesome, the cinematography was beautiful, and the acting was top-notch.
But it was this iconic scene that people remembered much more than the plot. Sure, some of the one-liners ("Who's the U-Boat Commander?") were memorable. But it was the dance that was imitated over and over again, even by Presidential son Ron Reagan on "Saturday Night Live."
Did you know that Tom Cruise made a modification from the original dance? The script called for bare feet. But Tom told Yahoo! that he kept falling down, so he added the socks. Obviously his instincts were correct, because 30 years later we're still laughing over this routine. And...well....drooling a bit! Watch it again and enjoy!

Ann Coulter
Ann Hart Coulter (b. 1961) a conservative commentator who often criticizes liberals. She also sometimes answers liberals in very outrageous considered manners, and then switching the point-of-view around. Liberals have slandered her for this.
She is an attorney, legal affairs correspondent, social commentator and a well known political pundit. She has written five bestselling books on U.S. politics. U.S. Federal Judge Richard Posner included her in a list of America's top public intellectuals.[1][2]
Coulter's primary focus is exposing what she says are the faults of liberalism, and she has enjoyed a popular following for her strong defense of family values against abortion and same-sex marriage. She is well known for her forthright statements against those who she accuses of wanting to hurt the United States.
Coulter is a high profile female conservative, in line with Phyllis Schlafly and Condoleezza Rice. Her books and strong speaking style have endeared her to fans and infuriated opponents, in which they often see as radical.
As a Christian, Coulter adheres to the Judeo-Christian tradition the view that human beings are utterly and distinctly apart from other species.
Being an seemingly unabashedly conservative pundit, Coulter's social commentaries often draw the ire of liberals. Her comments are frequently controversial and her critics often feign being offended.[3][4]
Coulter made headlines during the 2008 Presidential primaries by endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton for President instead of John McCain. Coulter asserted that McCain is not conservative, but liberal.
In August of 2011 Coulter created a stir by agreeing to join the advisory board of GOProud, the Republican homosexual activist organization. Earlier this year WorldNetDaily chief Joseph Farah withdrew an invitation to Coulter to speak at WND's "Taking America Back National Conference" in Miami in September, because of her appearance at a GOProud fundraiser.
Since early 2012 she is a vocal supporter and defender of Mitt Romney as presidential candidate.
Views on the Democratic Party
Coulter says that the Democratic Party has a "history of supporting slavery, segregation, racial preferences, George Wallace and Bull Connor." [5]
Some of her books include
- High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton (2002)
- Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (2003)
- Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (2004)
- How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) (2005)
- Godless: The Church of Liberalism (2007)
- If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans (2007)
- Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America (2009)
In Godless, Coulter illustrates the concepts of liberals making a religion out of their beliefs, following with the sort of intolerant zeal which they claim fundamentalists do. "Liberalism is a comprehensive belief system denying the Christian belief in man's immortal soul [and] that we are moral beings in God's image." (pg. 3)
- "Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots ... "[5]
- "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." She later clarified "Of course I regret [saying] it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters."[6][7]
- "We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say." (The view that Christians are perfected Jews is a common belief among Jewish converts to Christianity, who view Christianity as a natural continuation of Judaism.
- "Saddam's barbaric rape rooms, chemical attacks and torture — those, liberals could live with. But now they want us to send troops to Darfur, a country from which no one anticipates terrorism anytime in the next millennium. If you're looking for a good definition of "no imminent threat," Darfur is it... These people can't even wrap up genocide. We've been hearing about this slaughter in Darfur forever — and they still haven't finished. The aggressors are moving like termites across that country. It's like genocide by committee. Who's running this holocaust in Darfur, FEMA?...Darfur is not the threat... though a hostage-taking, Holocaust-denying lunatic who doesn't own a necktie but is within two years of having a nuclear bomb comes to mind. You can already hear Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi saying, "If the Democrats were in charge, the use of military force wouldn't be necessary because we'd constructively engage them and appease their stated desire to kill us."[8]
- "If you want a shorter rebuilding process, then we're going to have to wage less humane wars. The enemy — as well as innocent civilians — must be bombed into quivering terror. Otherwise, we displace aggression but don't destroy it. Americans are weaker for having seen that kind of carnage in World War II. Recall that the Worst Generation was raised by the Greatest Generation. That tells you how awful war is. The Greatest Generation was so exhausted by the war, it didn't have the spine to stand up to pot-smoking, draft-dodging hippies occupying administration buildings."[9]
- "I think [women] should be armed but should not vote. No, they all have to give up their vote, not just, you know, the lady clapping and me. The problem with women voting -- and your Communists will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it. And when they take these polls, it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care."[10]
- "...a cruise missile is more important than Head Start."[11]
- On Sept. 13, 2001 she wrote this about the Sept. 11 terrorist attack: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."[12]
- "We need to execute people like John Walker [Lindh] in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors," Conservative Political Action Conference, January 2002. Coulter later clarified what she meant; "when I said we should "execute" John Walker Lindh, I mis-spoke. What I meant to say was 'We should burn John Walker Lindh alive and televise it on prime-time network TV'. My apologies for any misunderstanding that might have occurred."[13]
- "Every concrete example of the racism allegedly sweeping the nation's campuses keeps turning out to be a fraud. Far from "institutional racism," there is "institutional racial hoaxism" run amok in this country."[15]
- "Rather than own up to their moral blindness to Soviet espionage, Democrats fired up the liberal slander machine, which would be deployed again and again over the next half century to the present day.[16]
- "By exposing the Democrats' absolute blindness to Soviet totalitarianism, McCarthy shattered forever the nation's confidence in the Democrats' capacity to govern. For that, the Stalinist hate machine attacked him viciously and has never let up."[17]
- "How about having Tim Russert ask Hillary if she believes the New Testament is the perfection of the Old Testament? She claims to be a Christian. Let's get it on the table: Is she or isn't she? It doesn't get any more bare-bones than that.[18]
- "[The New York Times'] reaction to al-Zarqawi's death was to lower the U.S. flag at the Times building to half-staff. (Ha ha — just kidding! Everybody knows there aren't any American flags at The New York Times.)"[19]
- "I think our motto should be post-9-11, 'raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.'"[20]

The $1 trillion platinum coin seems too wacky; the 14th amendment too risky. But could IOU's be the solution to an impasse on raising the nation's borrowing limit?
Yes, and President Obama should publicly adopt the idea, Edward Kleinbard, a University of Southern California law professor and former chief of staff to Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation, argues in a Thursday New York Times op-ed. If lawmakers can't reach an agreement before the nation hits its debt ceiling -- which could happen as soon as next month -- then Obama should have a backup plan of issuing IOU's in place, Kleinbard argues.
"[Obama] should threaten to issue scrip -- 'registered warrants' -- to existing claims holders (other than those who own actual government debt) in lieu of money. Recipients of these I.O.U.'s could include federal employees, defense contractors, Medicare service providers, Social Security recipients and others."
Kleinbard is hardly the first to propose the idea. Slate's Matt Yglesias suggested it in early December. And New York Times Op-Ed columnist and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman argued for such IOU's on Monday, though he called them "Moral Obligation Coupons." In Krugman and Kleinbard, the idea has found two prominent proponents.
Without congressional intervention, the government is expected to reach its debt ceiling in the second half of February, the Bipartisan Policy Center predicts. The only thing preventing a devastating national default, which could have ripple effects around the globe, are a handful of hail-mary proposals:
- One that calls for Treasury to use its power to create commemorative coins to mint a $1 trillion platinum coin. The idea has gained traction among some, but mostly as an absurd solution to an absurd problem.
- Obama could argue that the 14th amendment grants him the constitutional power to forge ahead with issuing new debt, as it states that "the validity of the public debt... shall not be questioned." But he has ruled it out, saying "I have talked to my lawyers; they are not persuaded that that is a winning argument."
- And then there's a plan known as "prioritization," which calls for the U.S. government to use incoming daily revenue first to pay the nation's lenders to prevent a default, while deferring payments to some domestic programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and others. That idea has a proponent in Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., though Treasury and at least one official at the credit-rating agency Standard & Poor's have suggested it is a default by another name.
The appeal of the IOU, or scrip, lies in the fact that though it closely resembles debt, it isn't, Kleinbard argues.
"It would merely be a formal acknowledgment of a pre-existing monetary claim against the United States that the Treasury was not currently able to pay," Kleinbard argues. "The president could therefore establish a scrip program by executive order without piling a constitutional crisis on top of a fiscal one."
Most importantly, the IOU scheme has a recent precedent. California issued nearly half-a-million such IOU's as it dealt with a cash crisis in 2009. They provided enough cover for lawmakers to strike a deal quickly, without a hit to the state's credit rating.Republicans have signaled they may hold up a debt-ceiling increase in exchange for spending cuts, which they argue are necessary for the nation's long-term fiscal health. The President contends that reining in spending and reducing the deficit is important, but has vowed that he will not negotiate on the debt ceiling.

There's no shortage of statistics on kids' lack of physical activity, but this one particularly shocked us: Only 11 percent of girls ages 5 to 8 get the recommended hour a day of physical activity, compared with 42 percent of boys, according to a new study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. What the heck is going on?
Part of it is that girls have less opportunity to get physical than boys, says Marj Snyder, Ph.D., chief program officer of the Women's Sports Foundation in East Meadow, NY. Decades after Title IX, there's actually still a gender gap in school gym classes -- a smaller percentage of girls are enrolled. But what's really driving the trend is that girls tend to feel less encouraged and less confident than boys, Snyder says. As disheartening as that sounds, it actually means there is a silver lining: There's lots you can do to give your daughter the boost she needs to set healthy habits for life. How to get started:
Lead the way. "Moms sometimes have a perfectionist attitude when it comes to teaching their daughters about sports," says Snyder. "They'll say, 'Oh, I don't know how to play basketball or soccer, so I can't teach my daughter.' " It doesn't matter if you weren't the star player (or even on the team). Simply spending time with your daughter shooting hoops, kicking the ball, or trying that crazy new dance game is what counts.
Offer lots of options early. "Girls enter sports later and exit earlier than boys," says Snyder. "That means we've got a smaller opportunity to get them involved." Whether it's simply going to the pool a few times a week or joining a martial-arts class, let her try a bunch of different activities until she finds something (or two) she loves.
Catch the high school game. "Kids tend to admire people just above them most," says Snyder. Take your daughter to watch some of the local women's teams for instant inspiration.

WILSON, N.C. – On the road as Barton College's homecoming opponent, the King University men's soccer team looked to be destined for overtime against the homestanding Bulldogs Saturday afternoon. But midfielder Ryan Cobain gave the Tornado the lead with an 84th minute strike, and King's defense turned away a flurry of Barton shots in the final minutes as the Tornado held on for the 2-1 victory.
With the score tied 1-1, Joseph Akinoso dribbled the ball on the right wing before turning and playing a ball into the box for Cobain. Cobain collected the pass and sent a shot past the goalkeeper for his fourth goal of the season and second game-winner in as many games.
In the game's final minutes, the Bulldogs (7-7-1, 5-3 Conference Carolinas) furiously searched for the equalizer. Barton fired four shots in the last five minutes, seeing one sail high, one saved by goalkeeper Kari Sveinsson, and two blocked by Tornado defenders.
"I'm delighted for the guys," said head coach John Miglarese. "We have been in so many close games this year. It is great to get this one. We had a great second half, and that's what won the game for us."
The Tornado (3-9-2, 3-4) netted an early goal off the feet of Akinoso in just the third minute of the game. The goal-scoring sequence began with a corner kick from Joshua Feener. The ball was played into the box, and Eli Carrasco found Akinoso open for his second goal this week after scoring for the first time this season against North Greenville University on Tuesday.
Midway through the first half, the Bulldogs were able to get on the board. A whistle in the box in the 26th minute led to a penalty kick opportunity for Barton. Dante De Luca buried the shot, and the Bulldogs tied the match at 1-1.
King was outshot 24-9, but Sveinsson's play in net was the difference in the contest. The Tornado stopper made eight saves, while only one Tornado shot was saved.

Landlord/tenant lease workshop set for Lex
The Landlord/Tenant Cash Lease workshop offered Thursday, Dec. 5, will help landlords and tenants put together a lease that is right for them and help maintain positive farm leasing relations.
The workshop will be at the Dawson County Extension Office starting at 1 p.m. and concluding about 4 p.m.
Topics for discussion include:
Latest information about land values and cash rental rates for the area and state;
Expectations from the lease, including goal setting for the rental property;
Lease termination, including terminating handshake or verbal leases;
Lease communication, determining appropriate information sharing for both the tenant and landlord;
Alternative cash lease arrangements, flexible provision considerations for your situation; and
Other topics, like irrigation systems, hay rent, pasture rental agreements, and grain bin rental will be covered as time allows.
The presenting team includes UNL Extension educators Allan Vyhnalek, Jessica Johnson, Monte Vandeveer, Robert Tigner, and Tim Lemmons. They will offer ideas on these topics and provide common sense tips during the presentation. It is very helpful if both the tenant and landlord can attend together. It is also helpful if the spouse attends. Everyone is welcome to the workshop.
This free workshop is sponsored by the Nebraska Soybean Board and the North Central Risk Management Agency. Refreshments and handouts are provided.
Registration is requested by calling the Dawson County Extension Office at 308.324.5501. Register by three days prior to the workshop you would like to attend to ensure that there are enough handouts and refreshments.
This workshop has been held extensively across Nebraska for the past two years with over 2,200 attending. The vast majority of both landlords and tenants find the workshop to be very helpful in improving communications, setting rental terms and learning about the use of flex lease provisions.
As crop budgets are tightened, it is even more important to attend and listen to the latest discussion about leasing issues. Registrations are requested by Dec. 2 to insure adequate supplies for the participants.

Local doctors counted 26 people between the ages of 8 and 25 who were treated at local hospitals for injuries they suffered at the Winter Olympics.
In Dr. Mark Scarborough's 21 years with Shands at the University of Florida, he's treated countless sports injuries.
But he said no sporting event compares to the Thor Winter Olympics, an annual motocross event held at Gatorback Cycle Park in Alachua.
This year, the amateur motocross event — also known as the Mini Olympics, or Mini O's — was marred by tragedy when 16-year-old racer Jantz Grodzicki, of San Diego, was taken off life support Monday at Shands after he suffered a severed spine and head injuries in a Nov. 23 crash at the competition.
Although Grodzicki was the only participant who died, many other riders were taken to the hospital with severe injuries.
Scarborough and four other local doctors tallied the motocross-related injuries they saw during the November event. By their count, 26 people between the ages of 8 and 25 were treated at local hospitals for injuries they suffered at the Winter Olympics. Twenty-three of those patients were 20 years old or younger, Scarborough said.
Of those patients, at least seven children had to undergo major orthopedic surgeries and five suffered injuries that put them at risk for lifelong disability.
Most of the injuries were orthopedic, including severe fractures and dislocations to patients' shoulders, femurs, forearms, knees, ankles and hips, which can result in permanent disabilities, Scarborough said. There also were two lung-related injuries, which were the most severe apart from those suffered by Grodzicki.
"We were kind of appalled as a group that this magnitude of injuries occurred," Scarborough said. "It's inherently unsafe."
The risk of injury is inherent in motocross, but that's true for any major physical sport from BMX biking to soccer, said Ron Henricksen, president of the National Motosport Association.
Motocross brings families together, he said. Children who race travel around the country to various competitions with their families. Parents work on the bikes alongside their riders.
"It's really good for the whole family," Henricksen said. "They're all involved."
Deaths are rare, but in his experience most riders come back to compete after healing from serious injuries.
"It's the thing that they love and they want to do," he said.
And many riders do get injured. A 2009 study published in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, titled "Motocross Morbidity: Economic Cost and Injury Distribution in Children," studied motocross injuries using almost 300 cases from 2000 to 2007. Nearly half of the patients who were treated at a level 1 trauma center had to be hospitalized, and almost one-third needed surgery. Patients suffered severe injuries despite a high rate of helmet and protective gear use, according to an abstract of the study.
Over the years, Scarborough said he and his fellow physicians have noticed a spike in injuries among young riders during the Winter Olympics. He is concerned the public perception may be that cases like Grodzicki's are freak accidents.
"But the reality of it is this was not a freak accident. It's like major carnage," Scarborough said. "This is not the first death out there."
In March 2006, a 16-year-old Georgia youth died during an all-terrain-vehicle race at Gatorback just two weeks after an emergency medical technician died in an ATV accident there after a race, as previously reported in The Gainesville Sun.
The Winter Olympics in 2006 also resulted in a series of accidents, including a 6-year-old who was reportedly run over during a race and a 17-year-old who suffered lower body paralysis.
The Gatorback track is located at 20525 NW 46th Ave. and its website is unlimitedsportsmx.com. Gatorback representatives could not be reached for comment.
Carol Blackburn, who owns Motocross of Marion County with her husband, said in an email to The Sun she rides a street bike despite the danger because she loves it. Both her sons raced motocross, one of whom competed professionally.
"We knew the risks, but when you balance it all out, we felt it instilled so many good values. This sport requires discipline and dedication," she said. "You will not see these young men and women out drinking, smoking and drugging. Their spare time is spent working out or working on their bikes, not getting into trouble."
The Winter Olympics is the single highest-risk sporting event in the local community that carries the highest rate of injuries, Scarborough said. He sees sprained ankles and other injuries from other sports competitions, but the Winter Olympics appears to be the worst individual event in terms of the number and severity of injuries.
"We don't know if it's the worst year," he said of the competition. "We know it's always bad."
Scarborough said he and a team of local physicians plan to conduct a scientific investigation into the history of the Winter Olympics to determine how common and severe event-related injuries have been over the years.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

Jean Consie
APPLETON, Wis. - The family of Jean Consie announces with sadness her passing at the age of 92 on Dec. 30, 2013, from congestive heart failure. We celebrate her life as we mourn her death. We carry within us the love that we shared with her. We are grateful to have experienced in our lives her nurturing ways, her support, her encouragement and her sweetness. Her spirit will live forever within us.
Jean Rigoni Consie was born March 20, 1921, in Bessemer Township, Mich., to Tomazo and Maria (Costa) Rigoni. Her family moved to Ironwood, Mich., when she was 3 years old. She attended parochial and public schools in Ironwood, graduating from St. Ambrose High School in 1938. After graduation she worked for a time at the Jiffy Hamburger Shop, John Albert's Jewelry Shop and the Curry Hotel.
On July 4, 1942, she married Walter R. Consie of Hurley. They were married by Rev. J.B. Moriarty at the St. Ambrose rectory. The couple moved to Rockford, Ill., for two years before moving back to Ironwood in 1944. Five years ago, Jean moved to Appleton and resided with her daughter.
Jean enjoyed being a homemaker, providing her family with wonderful, nutritious meals which always included fantastic desserts. Great times were spent around the table enjoying Italian meals made from scratch: polenta and chicken, gnocchi, ravioli, risotto, homemade pasta and meatballs. Her spare time was spent sewing, tailoring, knitting and crocheting extensively for her children and grandchildren. She also found pleasure in decorative painting in her later years, creating many cherished pieces for her family. Her children and grandchildren cherish her creativity. Mom's days were busy and filled with loving her family.
When her children were grown, she found fulfillment as a supervisory aide for the Expanded Nutrition Program through the Extension Office of Michigan State University.
Jean was a lifelong member of Our Lady of Peace Catholic Parish. She was a former CCD teacher, sang in the Resurrection choir, served on Ministry of Care, was a charter member of the Rosary Group and also belonged to the Intercessory Prayer Group.
Jean is survived by her four children, Robert (Maryann), Ironwood, Jean and Judy, Appleton, and Jerry (Mary), Mesa, Ariz .; four grandchildren, Brent (Michelle), Duluth, Minn., Ryan (Crissa), Southern Pines, N.C., Michael (Lisa), Duluth, and Anna, Mesa; four great-grandchildren, Sophia Rose, Duluth, Maya Faith and Layla Stephanie Grace, Southern Pines, and Thomas Robert, Duluth; and many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Walter, on June 19, 1998; her parents; her mother- and father-in-law, Oswald and Anna (Zimke) Consie; her sisters, Emily Armichardy and Mary Bobcanik; a brother-in-law, Wilbert Consie; and sisters-in-law, Anna Colassacco, Alma Badovski, Frieda Bodouski, Ruth Schleker, Esther Siirila, Evelyn Korpi and Dorothy Cricks.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 11 a.m., preceded by visitation in the St. Joseph Family Room at 10 a.m., at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Ironwood, with the Rev. Robb Jurkovich, celebrant.
Luncheon will follow in the parish hall.
Rite of Committal and interment will be in Riverside Cemetery, Ironwood, in the spring.
Pallbearers will be Jean's four grandchildren, and Jason Pallin and Robert Colassacco.
Arrangements have been entrusted to McKevitt-Patrick Funeral Home Inc., Ironwood, where condolences may be expressed online at mckevittpatrickfuneralhome.com.
The family is grateful for the excellent care provided to our mother by her cardiologist, Dr. Wojciech Nowak, and cardiology nurse, Carol Shapiro; the St. Elizabeth nurses on 2 South; Affinity Hospice, especially Cass, Sheila, Kerry, Gina, Barb, Nancy, Liz and Kristin; St. Mary of the Seven Dolors staff: Sister Joanne Goessl, Deacon Jeff Prickette, the Rev. James Leary, the Rosary group and our "pew partners." We are also grateful for family and friends who supported us throughout this journey. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Happy Boxing Day (for those of you with British heritage)! Christmas 2009 has come to a close, with wonderful memories of time with my family, wonderful food and I hope that all of you had a festive and blessed Christmas. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm needing a break from chocolate and Christmas cookies! I've already dug out my copy of Cooking Light's Complete Cookbook, for inspiration on meals with more vegetables and less heavy cream, that doesn't taste bland. I doubt I'll give up some of my favorite ingredients, forever, but I need to give my cholesterol a break!
I made a few minor adaptions to her original recipe, starting with not making the cream cheese frosting. Am I crazy? No! I think my taste buds have changed, because I prefer a lot less frosting on my cakes-- and I'm evolving into being a bigger fan of bundt cakes and muffins. (This comes from a person who used to jockey for position for a corner slice of white birthday cake, with a rose, thank you.) Enough chit-chat-- in the style of The Pioneer Woman, let me show you how easy these are to make:
pumpkin puree, and froze them in one cup increments. Clever, eh? Actually, it was "P-Dub" who inspired me to do this, on her blog. The rest of the ingredients-- flour, butter (1/2 stick), an egg, salt, baking powder, sugar (1/2 cup) and some evaporated milk. Of course, you need spices-- hence the name... cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Golden raisins are listed as "optional", but we love them.
I used an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin pan. I used my giant muffin pan, well-greased, that yielded six muffins. Bake at 400F for 25 minutes, Ree says...
NOTE TO SELF: If you muffin pan is dark, reduce the oven temperature to 375F and check the muffins 5 minutes earlier.
TASTING NOTES: I accidentally added almond extract-- like 1/4 teaspoon, before I realized I had not grabbed the vanilla extract. With a silent prayer, I added the vanilla, too. We liked it, but that was not intentional. I used 2% evaporated milk. By eliminating the frosting and the 2% milk, I'm sure we shaved off a lot of calories. Oh, the rest are in the freezer, so I won't polish them off. I'm on holiday rich food detox!
As always, you can view the recipe by scrolling to the very bottom of the post. If you are receiving this post via email or RSS feed, you will need to JUMP to my blog to view and/or print the recipe.
My husband and I are on vacation, until January 4th. It's noon, and we're both in our lounge clothes-- that would be sweat pants, sweatshirt and slippers. Only five more days until our wedding anniversary, which we will celebrate in San Francisco!
Good times!

The HSUS Offers Tips for Protecting Gardens from Groundhogs this Groundhog Day
Punxsutawney Phil will make headlines again on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, and The Humane Society of the United States is encouraging people to celebrate the day by learning more about our wild neighbors and ways to peacefully coexist. As Phil comes out of his hole after a long winter sleep, groundhogs everywhere are reemerging in gardens and yards throughout the country.
"People are excited to see Phil on Feb. 2, but within weeks, some homeowners will complain about groundhogs eating flowers and garden vegetables," said Laura Simon, field director of Wildlife & Habitat Protection community programs for The HSUS. "With the right tools and a little tolerance, people can easily discourage unwanted groundhog activity in their gardens and peacefully coexist with them."
Groundhogs – also known as woodchucks – hibernate from October through February and start breeding shortly thereafter. That means an abundance of groundhogs setting their sights on eating gardens, digging burrows and coming into conflict with their human neighbors.
Simple solutions to keep groundhogs from hogging their way into your garden
- Scare Them – To temporarily discourage frequent visits to your garden, place objects in the area that will reflect sunlight and continually move in the breeze, such as tethered Mylar party balloons, "animal scaring" balloons with faces and big eyes or dangling pieces of Mylar tape.
- Exclude Them – Since groundhogs do not like to climb unstable fences, installing a wobbly 3 to 4 foot-high mesh barrier around a garden keeps them away permanently. The HSUS recommends using regular green garden fencing, which comes in 16 gauge, 4-foot-tall mesh rolls. This mesh is available at most garden, hardware and home building stores. A trick for success when installing is to extend the bottom 12 inches of mesh outward, parallel to the ground, and pin this portion securely to the ground with landscaping staples. This "apron" will discourage them from digging under the fence. Also, make sure the top portion of the mesh is not taut when securing to fence posts, so it wobbles when challenged, which discourages the groundhogs from climbing over.
The HSUS Wild Neighbors Program promotes non-lethal means for resolving conflicts between people and wildlife and cultivates understanding and appreciation for wild animals commonly found in cities and towns.
The program's book, Wild Neighbors: The Humane Approach to Living with Wildlife is a useful reference for individuals and communities faced with resolving encounters with wild animals who find their way into yards, gardens, houses, parks and playgrounds.

Sun City resident and U.S. Army Air Corps veteran Murray Weiss was part of the Lend-Lease program that provided aircraft to the Soviet Union during World War II. He was recently asked to relate his experiences to a fifth-grade class.
Weiss, 90, accompanied by his wife Goldie, paid a visit to the class where her granddaughter Melody Edwards was student teaching. Edwards' students at Lewis Elementary School in Kennesaw, Ga., had just finished a two-week program on World War II.
Weiss shared the story of his military experience with the youngsters.
"While our aircraft were getting ready and being built, we gave our older planes to Russia," said former PFC Weiss, who served as a radioman on the aircraft. "Thank God we were able to do that for them. That's what ended the war for Hitler. It was a terrible time."
World War II may have been won through battles on land, sea and in the air but it was the support the combat forces received that enabled them to fight to win. That support extended to America's allies and took the form of everything from food to military equipment, including tanks and aircraft.
"We flew the planes from Great Falls, Mont., to Fairbanks, Alaska," he said. "The Russian pilots then took them over to Russia. We had to show them how to operate the equipment."
Fan mail
A few weeks after they returned, the Weisses received a large manila envelope filled with handwritten notes and drawings on cards made by the students:
"Thank you for coming to our school and talking to us about your experience. I found it interesting that you told us that the world has changed and it has. You remind me of my grandpa. He was in the Vietnam War, but, he died in April 2008. You inspired me to reach for my dreams. I really want to be in the airforce, just like you. "
"First of all I want to say, thank you for serving our country. I think the things you told us were so interesting. Also, I loved the pictures. I want to thank you for all your hard work to protect our country. "
"Thank you for coming this far just to talk to us. Thank you so much for your services. Because of you, I am alive and free."
"You were so inspiring to me. Thank you for coming down to speak to us. I can't wait to share this with my family. I found it very interesting that you got to learn morse code. You were great. I learned a lot from you. Thank you so much."
"I just wanted to tell you that you didn't just inspire me and teach me, you gave me hope. I have a grandpa who is not doing so well. To see you up their making jokes and having fun gave me hope that he is going to be o.k. When you came in, I was expecting a life lesson and to learn, not to give me hope. "
"I found it interesting that you worked the radio on the airplane in morse code. Thank you for coming down to share with us about WWII. I can't wait to share what you did to help in WWII. You and many others helped save Jew's and other people that were treated badly."
Goldie said when they received the notes, "We became so emotional when we read the letters. This experience gave my husband confidence and faith that he can still contribute to this world and make an impression on the young."
"They even asked for my autographs," Murray said. "They said 'Just sign it Murray Weiss, the soldier.' What a great feeling of satisfaction."

General Comments: Futures closed higher in recovery trading. There has been little selling pressure on the market in the last week since the dramatic move lower. Better weather in Florida seems to be the big problem for the bulls at this time. Futures have been working generally lower as showers have been seen and conditions are said to have improved in almost the entire state. Ideas are that the better precipitation will help trees fight the greening disease. No tropical storms are in view to cause any potential damage. Greening disease and what it might mean to production prospects continues to be a primary support item and will be for several years. Temperatures are warm in the state, but there are showers reported. The Valencia harvest is continuing but is almost over. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and mostly dry weather, but showers are possible later this week.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for showers. Temperatures will average near to above normal. ICE said that 0 delivery notices were posted today and that total deliveries for the month are now 0 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed to down with no objectives. Support is at 130.00, 125.00, and 122.50 September, with resistance at 136.00, 137.50, and 139.00 September.
General Comments: Futures were higher. The cash market remains very quiet. However, roasters are showing more buying interest and it is possible to get some business done. Sellers, including Brazil, are quiet and are waiting for futures to move higher. Buyers are interested on cheap differentials, and might start to force the issue if prices hold and start to move higher in the short term on ideas that the market made a bottom. Brazil weather is forecast to show dry conditions, but no cold weather. There are some forecasts for cold weather to develop in Brazil early next week, but so far the market is not concerned. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil. Central America crops are seeing good rains now. Colombia is reported to have good conditions.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are lower today and are about 2.745 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 118.77 ct/lb. Brazil should get dry weather except for some showers in the southwest. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get showers, and rains. Temperatures should average near to above normal. ICE said that 8 delivery notices was posted against July today and that total deliveries for the month are now 807 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are down with no objectives. Support is at 117.00, 116.00, and 113.00 September, and resistance is at 125.00, 128.00, and 128.00 September. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 1835 nd 1900 September. Support is at 1755, 1720, and 1705 September, and resistance is at 1855, 1870, and 1900 September. Trends in Sao Paulo are down with no objectives. Support is at 140.00, 137.00, and 134.00 September, and resistance is at 150.00, 151.00, and 155.00 September.
General Comments: Futures closed higher despite ideas of good harvest weather and active movement of beans to ports in western Africa. Internal prices are reported weak in much of Africa. Ideas of weak demand after the recent big rally kept some selling interest around. The weather is good in West Africa, with more moderate temperatures and some rains. It is hotter and drier again in Ivory Coast this week, but the rest of the region is in good condition. Ivory Coast is starting to see showers, but will need more rain soon. The mid crop harvest is about over, and less than expected production along with smaller beans is reported. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in West Africa. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see episodes of isolated showers. Temperatures should average near normal. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions and warm temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 4.934 million bags. ICE said that 55 delivery notices were posted today and that total deliveries for the month are 349 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 2130, 2100, and 2080 September, with resistance at 2190, 2200, and 2230 September. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1440, 1420, and 1360 September, with resistance at 1470, 1490, and 1520 September.

The Will Houstoun Lecture by International Magic - DVD
Will Houstoun is one of the real up and coming young talents from the U.K. He burst onto the Magic scene by taking third place in our own prestigious Close-Up Competition, then went on to confirm his standing by taking first prize in the British Magic Championship, Blackpool, 2006.
This is Will Houstoun's first lecture and we are proud to have him added to our range. He begins with a very clean Coin Production and '3 Fly'. Followed by 'Special K', a really neat presentation of the 'Inversion' card trick. There's some finger manipulations that Meir Yedid would be most proud of. An ultra clean '4 Ace Production' accompanied by music, Will then gives tips on how to put music to your magic. The 'Bland Deck' routine is a progressive printing of cards, first the 4 aces materialize in a very magical way, then the whole pack prints followed by a super surprise finish! The 'Fire Coins' is a flash production of coins from candle wax, beautiful magic. 'Guestimation' is a stunning cutting the aces from a genuinely shuffled deck (based on Ed Marlo's 'Miracle Aces'), this is one you'll be sure to use. 'Bakers Three Fly' is superbly shown with lots of touches. His version of 'Shadow coins' is just exquisite with a resulting gasp from the audience. There's the bonus of footage of Will's performance in the Close up Show. All this plus tips on 'Coin Production', 'C-Palm', 'Thumb Fan', 'Ascanio Spread', 'Fake Placement' among many others.
To many people, Will Houstoun is going to be a new name in magic, but we're sure having watched this lecture, you'll agree with us that his future in magic is very bright!

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

Plane returns to Las Vegas after engine problem
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Allegiant Airlines officials say a plane having engine problems turned around and returned to Las Vegas.
Allegiant spokesman Justin Ralenkotter says Flight 225 to Bellingham, Washington, departed McCarran International Airport at 7:10 p.m. Sunday before crew members noticed an oil temperature problem in one of the plane's two engines.
The MD-80 aircraft arrived back in Las Vegas at 7:48 p.m.
Ralenkotter says passengers haven't reported problems during the short ride, and the plane is designed to continue operating on a single engine.
The 140 passengers on board will receive a full refund as well as a $100 voucher for future travel and a hotel room if they live further than 50 miles away.
Another flight to Bellingham was scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Monday.

Peter van Kets
Peter van Kets is a passionate conservationist, one of South Africa's top adventurers and international keynote/inspirational speakers. He has just returned from an unsupported race across Antarctica to the South Pole to commemorate Scott and Amundsens race 100 years ago. As part of a two man South African team they made South African history becoming the first Africans to ever race to the pole. The race was unsupported and covered a total distance of 888km's in one of the most hostile environments known to man – Antarctica; the highest driest and coldest place on the planet. His story is one of survival, courage, perseverance, passion, loneliness, tenacity, amazing team work and the will to win. In his new talk "Impossible is Nothing – leaving a legacy" he takes his lessons learned from the expedition and relates them to the business and social environment.
In 2010 Peter spent 76 days alone in a 7 meter rowing boat crossing the Atlantic. His epic 5438 Km unsupported row across the Atlantic was a first for any African. With this he was awarded the S.A. OutThere Adventurer of the Year 2011.
In 2008 Peter made his name known in the world of extreme adventure by winning the unsupported Woodvale Trans-Atlantic Rowing Race together with friend Bill Godfrey. With this he was awarded the South African Premiers Award and the Eastern Cape Sports Star of the year (2008) Award.
Peter writes an inspirational column for the Leadership Magazines – Leadership in Sport. He also writes an inspirational column for the business magazine "Blue Chip".
He is married to Kim (also an extreme endurance athlete) and they have a daughter Hannah.
Peter has a great affinity with the planets oceans and seas having spent most of his life either in, on or near the sea. His two rows across the Atlantic and the experiences he has had have made him passionate about the conservation of our oceans. His motto is DOT. Do-one-thing! He understands that on his own he can have little impact on the total conservation of our seas, but collectively , if we could each just do-one-thing we could have a dramatic effect and save our oceans.
Peter is a very popular guest speaker both on the South African and international speaking circuit. His presentations are powerful and inspiring receiving rave reviews everywhere. In his latest talk, Peter relates his lessons learned / critical success factors to the business world by using his Race to the Pole, solo rowing and other expeditions as real/true life examples of achieving success. He is a passionate speaker and is totally devoted to inspiring people and changing their lives. He addresses the issues of (to name but a few) great vision, planning, team work, strategy, conflict management, working in a dynamic environment, self-discipline and perseverance.

There are a handful of indispensible writers on energy and resource issues, and if you had to narrow the list down to just the top two or three people, I'd have to name Vaclav Smil as my Numero Uno. Among Smil's terrific books are Energy Myths and Realities and Energy at the Crossroads, but see also his Why America Is Not a New Rome. Perhaps his most useful insight is that energy transitions are long-term affairs, no matter how much governments may try to "nudge" or shove technology along—a lesson clearly lost on our current Energy secretary Stephen Chu, who apparently thinks we're actually getting off oil before this decade is over.
Smil comes to our attention today for what ought to be a career-ending beatdown of last week's Power Line Green Weenie Award winner, investor Jeremy Grantham. Taking note of Grantham's recent article in Nature magazine, I said that "While Grantham is a shrewd investor, he turns out to be a climate nutter." That was mild compared to Smil's deconstruction of him today over at American.com, in "Jeremy Grantham: Starving for Facts." Smil says that Grantham "puts his claims in terms more suitable for tabloids than for one of the world's oldest and most prestigious scientific weekly magazines." Read the rest for the details about how Grantham's views on the imminent shortage of fertilizer is, well. . . raw fertilizer.

Robinson, Edwards, Summitt chosen for FIBA Hall
Robinson, Edwards, Summitt chosen for FIBA Hall
May. 27, 2013
David Robinson, Pat Summitt and Teresa Edwards headline the 2013 FIBA Hall of Fame class.
Robinson won two gold medals and a bronze in the Olympics. He played for the U.S. on the 1988, 1992 and 1996 teams, becoming the first American to appear in three games. He's the all-time leading rebounder and shot blocker for the U.S. in the Olympics and No. 2 scorer. Robinson also helped the U.S. win a gold medal at the 1986 world championships when the Americans still sent college players to take on other nations' pros.
Summitt, the all-time leader in victories in college basketball, won a silver medal as a player on the 1976 Olympic team and guided the U.S. to gold in 1984. She is one of only two American women to win a medal as both a player and head coach, joining Anne Donovan. Summitt also was the coach of the 1979 world championship team that won America's first gold medal at the event since 1957.
Edwards helped the U.S. win four gold medals and a bronze in her five Olympics from 1984-2000, making her the most decorated Olympic basketball player ever. Oscar Schmidt of Brazil and Andrew Gaze of Australia played in five Olympics but never won a medal. She's the Americans' all-time assists leader and is in the top 10 in scoring and rebounding.
"What can I say? It took me all around the world," Edwards said. "Now the FIBA Hall of Fame is calling me home to stay forever. Who in their right mind wouldn't be excited about this?"
Gaze is also part of this Hall of Fame class. Other player inductees include Jean-Jacques Conceicao (Angola), Paula Goncalves (Brazil) and Zoran Slavnic (Serbia). Former coaches Jack Donohue (Canada) and Cesare Rubini (Italy) join Summitt.
Technical officials Valeentin Lazarov (Bulgaria) and Costas Rigas (Greece), along with contributor Aldo Vitale (Italy), round out the class.
"These are great personalities who have experienced great success on and off the court, but who also stand out for the character they have shown and for the countless efforts they have made to help promote our sport," said FIBA secretary general Patrick Baumann.
The induction ceremony will be June 19.
Cheryl Miller and Oscar Robertson were part of the last class enshrined in 2010.

Some of the young followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will break away from and abandon their families which have become caught up in the corruption of the antichrist due to the pressure and intimidation they subject them to
Throughout the history devout young people who have adopted the true path they were called to by the messengers sent as a mercy from Allah, who have supported them and have believed in the divine scriptures sent down to them by Allah, have always been exposed to considerable pressure from the people around them, and particularly from their families. These young people will have a great love for Hazrat Mahdi (as), whose coming in the End Times is anticipated with great excitement. They will genuinely believe that he is a holy personage sent down from the Sight of Allah and they will live by the moral values of the Qur'an alongside him. These young people will be subjected to the kinds of tests that have befallen other Muslims throughout history, as a requirement of the verse: "did you suppose that you would enter the Garden without facing the same as those who came before you?"(Surat al-Baqara, 214) There will therefore be great similarities between the examples set out in the Qur'an and things that befall some of the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
It is reported in one hadith that Hazrat Mahdi's (as) followers will have no friends other than one another, so much so that if they become lost, nobody will look for them. This also indicates the negative attitude of the society they live in and of their families and relatives toward them:
He said: "Look for them at the edges of the world. Their lives are simple, their homes are on their backs, even if present they are not recognized, IF THEY ARE LOST NONE WILL LOOK FOR THEM, IF THEY ARE SICK NONE WILL VISIT THEM, and if they wish to marry none will come to them. If THEY DIE, NONE WILL ATTEND THEIR FUNERALS. They share their possessions equally among them and visit one another's graves; their wishes are all the same, even if they are in different cities." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 239)
Hukaim Ibn Sa'd says: I heard Imam Commander of the faithful, Hazrat Ali (ra) say: "THE COMPANIONS OF THE QAIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] ARE YOUNG, AND THERE ARE NO ELDERLY PEOPLE AMONG THEM. They are as few in number as kohl on the eye or salt in victuals, and salt is the smallest component of victuals.." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 374)
Other hadiths that indicate there will be young people around Hazrat Mahdi (as) read:
Hazrat Mahdi (as) IS A YOUNG MANfrom the Ahl al-Bayt (from my line). Your elderly will not live to see him, but the young will hope to. Allah will do what He wills. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 23)
Hazrat Mahdi's (as) flagman will be a small YOUNG MAN with a slight, yellow beard.(Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 51)
His [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] flagman WILL BE A YOUNG MANfrom the line of Tamimi from the East. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 26)
In the Qur'an, Allah refers to Muslims who abandon their families or the socities in which they live because of the pressure and oppression they are subjected to, as:
The People of the Cave:
... But he should go about with caution so that no one is aware of you, FOR IF THEY FIND OUT ABOUT YOU THEY WILL STONE YOU OR MAKE YOU REVERT TO THEIR RELIGIONand then you will never have success. (Surat al-Kahf, 19-20)
The young people who believed in the Prophet Moses (as):
NO ONE BELIEVED IN MOSES EXCEPT FOR A FEW OF HIS PEOPLE OUT OF FEARthat Pharaoh, and the elders, would persecute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate. (Surah Yunus, 83)
The Prophet Abraham (as) who separates himself from his father:
(His father) said, "Do you forsake my gods, Abraham?IF YOU DO NOT STOP, I WILL STONE YOU. Keep away from me for a good long time."' (Abraham) said, "Peace be upon you. I will ask my Lord to forgive you. He has always honored me. I WILL SEPARATE MYSELF FROM YOU AND ALL YOU CALL UPON BESIDES ALLAH and I will call upon my Lord. It may well be that, in calling on my Lord, I will not be disappointed." (Surah Maryam, 46-48)
Abraham would not have asked forgiveness for his father but for a promise he made to him, and WHEN IT BECAME CLEAR TO HIM THAT HE WAS AN ENEMY OF ALLAH, HE RENOUNCED HIM. Abraham was tender-hearted and forbearing. (Surat at-Tawba, 114)
The Prophet Noah (as) separates himself from his son:
Noah called out to his Lord and said, "My Lord, my son is one of my family and Your promise is surely the truth and You are the Justest of Judges." (Surah Hud, 45)
He said, "NOAH, HE IS DEFINITELY NOT OF YOUR FAMILY.He is someone whose action was not righteous. Do not, therefore, ask Me for something about which you have no knowledge. I admonish you lest you should be among the ignorant." (Surah Hud, 46)
The Prophet Noah (as) and Lot (as) separate themselves from their wives:
ALLAH HAS MADE AN EXAMPLE FOR THOSE WHO DISBELIEVE: THE WIFE OF NOAH AND THE WIFE OF LOT. They were married to two of Our servants who were righteous but they betrayed them and were not helped at all against Allah. They were told, "Enter the Fire along with all who enter it." (Surat at-Tahrim, 10)
As we can see from these verses, if believers who believe in Allah and the prophets and who have decided to live for Allah's approval are subjected to pressure and oppression from their families and those around them, they turn their backs on them and live by the moral values of the faith, in peace and security with other believers. Allah praises this behavior in the Qur'an.
Some of the companions in the time of our Prophet (saas) were exposed to severe pressure from their families, imprisoned and subjected to violence, merely for believing in Allah and choosing a life compatible with the moral values of the Qur'an:
Umm Gulthum Bint Ukda was forced to live among the polytheists of Mecca for seven years because of pressure from her family. From the moment she swore allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (saas), she, like other Muslims, was subjected to various forms of mistreatment and pressure. She was exposed to pressure and cruelty from her father in particular and from other polytheists in order to force her to abandon the moral values of the faith... Despite all these troubles, she was an example to other believers BY ABANDONING HER FAMILY AND SETTING OUT ON MIGRATION ALONE.
Mus'ab ibn Umayr (ra) continued to visit our Prophet (saas) in secret, hiding the fact he was a Muslim from his family and friends. When his family learned he was secretly establishing prayer (salat) he was detained and imprisoned by his own relatives, and when the opportunity to migrate to Ethiopia arose HE ABANDONED HIS FAMILY AND MIGRATED TO ETHIOPIAwith the first group in order to be more easily able to live according to the moral values of the faith.
Hazrat Salamais a companion who was for long subjected to mistreatment by his family because he believed in Allah. Although he and his brother Haris believed and followed our Prophet (saas), their other brothers, Abu Jahl, As and Khalid turned their backs on the religious moral values revealed by Allah and became the enemies of their brothers who believed. Salama was tortured for a long time by those closest to him. Since his brothers resorted to all possible means to make Salama renounce the moral values of the faith, HE MIGRATED TO ETHIOPIA IN ORDER TO SAVE HIS LIFE AND TO BE ABLE TO LIVE FREELY BY THE MORAL VALUES OF ISLAM.
It is clear in the hadith of our Prophet (saas) that the family and friends of some of the young people who will be with Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times, in which the corruption of the antichrist reaches a peak, will call on them to take the path of the antichrist:
It is clear that some of the followers of Hazrat Mahdi (as) who have been pressurized will behave in a similar way to other believers examplified in the Qur'an:
Part of his (the antichrist's) corruption is that he will say this to a Bedouin: "Will you bear witness that I am your Lord if I bring your mother and father back to life?" The Bedouin will say, "Yes." Two demons will then appear in the form of his mother and father and will say, "O MY CHILD, FOLLOW HIM. HE IS MOST CERTAINLY YOUR LORD."(Tirmidhi)
In the Qur'an, Allah commands people not to associate with but to turn their backs on those who seek to turn them from His path, even if they be their mothers, fathers, sons or brothers:
We have instructed man to honor his parents, but if they ENDEAVOR TO MAKE YOU ASSOCIATE WITH ME SOMETHING ABOUT WHICH YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE, DO NOT OBEY THEM. It is to Me you will return and I will inform you about the things you did. (Surat al-'Ankabut, 8)
You who believe, DO NOT BEFRIEND YOUR FATHERS AND BROTHERS IF THEY PREFER DISBELIEF TO FAITH.Those among you who do befriend them are wrongdoers. (Surat at-Tawba, 23)
You who believe! Some of YOUR WIVES AND CHILDREN ARE AN ENEMY TO YOU, so be wary of them. (Surat at-Taghabun, 14)
You will not find people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having love for anyone who opposes Allah and His Messenger, THOUGH THEY BE THEIR FATHERS, THEIR SONS, THEIR BROTHERS OR THEIR CLAN. (Surat al-Mujadala, 22)
As can be seen from all these verses and hadith, SOME OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE TIME OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) AND FOLLOW THIS WORTHY GUIDE TO SALVATIONwill suffer similar treatment from their families, who have fallen under the influence of the antichrist, to that inflicted on believers in the past, and they will choose the "RENUNCIATION AND SEPARATION" revealed by Allah in the Qur'an.

23 Kan. App. 2d 842
No. 76,365
In the Matter of the Estate of MARY F. KINNETT, Deceased.
1. Under a K.S.A. 59-2287(a)(2) petition for refusal to grant letters of administration, a creditor controls the distribution of the estate and no separate petition for allowance of that creditor's demand is required.
2. To timely commence an action under K.S.A. 59-2239 a creditor must, within 6 months, file a petition and cause it to be set for hearing. No further judicial action is needed.
3. The refusal to grant letters of administration procedure constitutes an administration for the purposes of K.S.A. 59-2239.
4. No judicial action or finding is necessary in order to commence an action under K.S.A. 59-2239 and achieve standing.
Appeal from Shawnee District Court; FRANK J. YEOMAN, JR., judge. Opinion filed April 18, 1997. Affirmed.
Junior F. Elder, of Topeka, for appellant.
Brian M. Vazquez, of Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, of Topeka, for appellee.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., LEWIS, J., and JOHN ANDERSON III, District Judge, assigned.
BRAZIL, C.J.: Mary F. Kinnett died intestate on March 15, 1995. Warren F. Kinnett and Doris J. Palmberg are her surviving heirs (heirs). Mary's estate consists solely of a $10,000 contract right. During her lifetime, the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) provided Mary with medical assistance in the amount of $31,106.39. On September 15, 1995, SRS claimed an interest in Mary's estate and filed a creditor's petition for an order refusing to grant letters of administration. The same day, the court set the matter for a hearing.
The court found the petition timely, holding that to commence a probate action, the petition must be filed and be set for a hearing within 6 months, but the hearing need not take place within that time period. The court also held that no separate petition for allowance of a demand need be filed where a petition for refusal of letters has been filed. The heirs appeal.
The heirs contend that the court erred in concluding that no separate petition for allowance of a demand is required. In In re Estate of Jones, 3 Kan. App. 2d 63, 65, 588 P.2d 960 (1979), this court held that the appointment of an administrator and the allowance of a demand are separate proceedings which require specific separate petitions.
We conclude that the court correctly reasoned that Jones did not apply to a petition for refusal of letters because such a petition is part of an abbreviated procedure intended to address smaller, noncomplex estates. K.S.A. 59-2287 authorizes a district court to refuse to grant letters of administration in certain cases, typically where the estate of the deceased is relatively uncomplicated. K.S.A. 59-2287(a)(2) allows a creditor to petition for refusal of letters by giving a bond at least equal to the value of the estate and by assuming the obligation to pay the debts of the decedent and distribute the balance of the estate to those legally entitled to receive it. In such a situation, where the creditor controls the distribution of the estate, there is no need for a separate petition for allowance of that creditor's demand.
Further, in this case the issue is moot because SRS filed a separate petition for allowance of demand. A case is moot where any judgment of the court would be without effect. See Allenbrand v. Contractor, 253 Kan. 315, Syl. ¶ 1, 855 P.2d 926 (1993). K.S.A. 59-2239(1) requires that a petition for allowance of a demand be filed within 4 months after the date of the first published notice to creditors. Notice of SRS's petition was first published on September 20, 1995, and SRS timely filed a petition for allowance of its demand on January 19, 1996.
The heirs contend that SRS did not timely commence this action. The heirs rely on In re Estate of Dumback, 154 Kan. 501, 119 P.2d 476 (1941), where the relevant statute provided that no creditor shall have a claim against an estate unless an administrator has been appointed within 1 year after the death of the decedent. The creditor filed his petition seeking an administrator only 1 week before the 1-year period expired, and the court found that the timing of the petition prevented the timely appointment of an administrator. The court held the fact that proceedings to appoint an administrator had commenced within the time period was insufficient to satisfy the statute and provide standing to the creditor. 154 Kan. at 503-04.
Dumback is clearly distinguishable. Under current law, to timely commence an action a creditor must, within 6 months, file a petition and cause it to be set for hearing. K.S.A. 59-2204; K.S.A. 59-2239; In re Estate of Reed, 157 Kan. 602, 612-13, 142 P.2d 824 (1943). The version of K.S.A. 59-2239 interpreted in Dumback, which required the judicial act of appointing an administrator, is no longer in effect. See L. 1976, ch. 245, § 5. The heirs' argument that some judicial action is needed to commence an action is based on the outdated law of Dumback and lacks merit.
K.S.A. 59-2239 provides that a petition must be filed within 6 months of the death of the decedent. The court found that SRS complied with the time requirement of the statute, and the heirs do not contend that chronologically SRS failed to file its petition within 6 months. After rehearing the matter, the court commented that the method of calculating time was not at issue in the case. Nevertheless, SRS devotes three pages of its appellate brief to time calculation arguments. We need not consider those contentions.
The heirs argue that the refusal to issue letters procedure does not qualify as an administration under K.S.A. 59-2239. SRS correctly points out that the heirs took the opposite position before the trial court. In response to the trial court's letter, the heirs stated their belief that a petition for the refusal to grant letters was a "substitute for or the equivalent of 'administration' and would be in compliance" with K.S.A. 59-2239. "[A] party may not invite error and then complain of that error on appeal." Manley v. Wichita Business College, 237 Kan. 427, 438, 701 P.2d 893 (1985).
Moreover, the nature of the refusal to grant letters procedure indicates it is a method of administering the estate. See K.S.A. 59-2287. "The basic purpose of 59-2287 is to provide an inexpensive, expeditious method of administering estates that are shown to be within its scope." In re Estate of Teichgraeber, 217 Kan. 373, 387, 537 P.2d 174 (1975). K.S.A. 59-2239(1) requires "a petition . . . for the administration of the decedent's estate pursuant to K.S.A. 59-2219," which provides that a petition for administration must state certain information. In this case, the petition for refusal to grant letters includes all the information required by K.S.A. 59-2219 for a valid petition for administration. We conclude that SRS's petition for refusal to grant letters constitutes a petition for administration sufficient to toll the time requirements of K.S.A. 59-2239.
The heirs also ask this court to determine the effect of the last clause of K.S.A. 59-2287(a)(2):
|"[R]eal estate sold in accordance with this section shall be deemed to have marketable title as ordered by the court, and no creditor, heir or other person shall be deemed to have an interest after passage of six months following the date of death." (Emphasis added.)
The heirs postulate that if no estate proceedings take place within 6 months, the last portion of this clause might act as a universal bar to all creditors' claims. First, this theory ignores the express language of the statute which by its own terms is limited to marketable title for any real estate sold in accordance with a petition for refusal to grant letters. Second, the heirs did not raise this argument at the trial court level and cannot raise it for the first time on appeal. See University of Kansas v. Department of Human Resources, 20 Kan. App. 2d 354, 356, 887 P.2d 1147 (1995).
The heirs contend that a judicial finding is necessary in order to commence an action and achieve standing. Their argument is based on an alleged conflict between In re Estate of Dumback, 154 Kan. 501, and In re Estate of Reed, 157 Kan. 602. Dumback held that merely filing a petition seeking an administrator was insufficient to satisfy the statute requiring appointment of an administrator within 1 year after the death of the decedent. Reed, on the other hand, held that the timely commencement of an action required both the filing of a petition and the setting of a hearing date.
No conflict is apparent between the two cases. Again, the heirs ignore the fact that the version of K.S.A. 59-2239 addressed in Dumback is no longer in effect. As previously noted, the legislature removed the requirement of appointment of an administrator and instead required the filing of a petition. The argument that a judicial action or finding is a prerequisite to the valid commencement of an action is based on the obsolete law interpreted in Dumback. The heirs' contention is unfounded.
