Research Zooms in on Enzyme That Repairs DNA Damage from UV Rays
Biochemical 'action shots' with SLAC's X-ray laser could help scientists develop synthetic enzymes for medicine and answer fundamental questions about how enzymes change during chemical reactions.
By studying this enzyme, called DNA photolyase, with the ultrabright and ultrafast pulses of the LCLS X-ray laser, researchers finally have the opportunity to watch the enzyme in action as it catalyzes a chemical reaction in real time and at the atomic scale to resolve longstanding debates about how these enzymes work. Ultimately, this knowledge could be used to engineer improved synthetic versions of enzymes that drive crucial reactions in biological systems, or to produce novel enzymes that do not exist in nature.
"The biochemical reactions performed by enzymes are at the heart of the adaptability and efficiency of living things," says Thomas Joseph Lane, an associate staff scientist at LCLS. "But the details of how enzymes work is hidden in chemical processes that occur on extremely short timescales, down to millionths of a billionth of a second, so we needed LCLS to reveal their secrets."
A Powerful Repair Machine
In just a few seconds, ultraviolet light from the sun can damage DNA by creating hundreds of unwanted links within DNA's double helix. These modifications make the genetic material bulky and unreadable by DNA replication tools, leading to permanent mutations that can cause cancer and other diseases if left unrepaired.
But the same sunlight that carries damaging UV rays also contains blue light that can induce photolyase to quickly repair any DNA damage.
Photolyase is thought to be one reason why plants – that have hours of exposure to the sun each day – are less susceptible to UV damage than humans, who lack photolyase. Humans and other mammals must fall back on alternative DNA repair mechanisms (or avoid going out into the sun altogether).
Using an Ultrafast X-ray Camera
With LCLS, researchers now have access to some of the fastest and brightest X-ray laser pulses in the world to study how living things defend themselves from UV damage.
Earlier this year, for instance, a team of scientists led by Thomas Wolf, an associate staff scientist at SLAC, used LCLS to see the first step of a protective process that prevents UV damage in the DNA building block thymine.
"Before LCLS, other X-ray 'cameras' were too slow," Lane explains. "Trying to precisely image enzymes and other proteins with those X-ray sources would be like trying to take an action shot of Michael Phelps swimming with an old camera. You would only get a few blurry images over his entire 100-yard butterfly event, which would hardly make for an exciting or informative photo."
But with LCLS, he says, "Imagine a series of high-resolution shots in sequence – you would be able to capture every drop of water and every twist of Phelps' wrist as he butterflies. That's what LCLS lets us do when visualizing enzyme activity."
Building Better Enzymes
In contrast to Wolf's experiment on how DNA protects itself from damage, Lane's team is studying how photolyase repairs UV damage once protective mechanisms have failed. Photolyase can be controlled with great precision by exposing it to light, making it an ideal enzyme to study using laser-generated light.
To see photolyase chemistry in detail, the researchers activated the enzyme with a carefully controlled light pulse from a laser. They subsequently exposed the enzyme to the LCLS-generated X-ray pulse, creating a characteristic X-ray scatter pattern in a specialized detector. The analysis of scattered X-ray data revealed chemical and structural changes in the enzyme at atomic level and occuring at a time scale of a millionth of a billionth of a second.
One of the ultimate goals of studying the enzymatic DNA repair process is to engineer synthetic enzymes that mimic but are even better than those found in nature.
"There are still some major gaps in our understanding of how enzymes work, highlighted by the fact that man-made enzymes have yet to match nature's performance," says Lane. "We hope our experiments here at LCLS will help us bridge those gaps, getting us closer to understanding and harnessing the chemistry living things do every day."
The research team studying the photolyase repair mechanism includes scientists at SLAC, the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) in Germany, Chapman University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, the Ohio State University, Stanford University, and the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Laurel Rae Dickinson started her life during the Great Depression on an Iowa farm. The third daughter of a farmer who needed boys she was expected to command mules, drive tractors, milk the cows, and keep the old sow in line. While she did her best, in the end she didn't prove as qmanlyq as her two older sisters and may have been a disappointment to her father. This changed after her qaccidentalq entry into the nursing profession. She started out as assistant to a neurosurgeon and eventually found the high adrenaline life as an emergency room nurse where eventually she rose to be the director. Just as her career and family life should have been peaking everything started falling apart as she found herself divorced and lying in her own emergency room with a broken neck looking up at her co-workers. For many life would have ended here or at least been dimmed. For Laurel it turned out to be just a new beginning in her journey from a hog farm in Iowa to finding a bit of Heaven on Earth. Follow Laurel on her journey where, through the decisions and deeds in her life, she gives great insights into opportunity, courage, priorities, peseverence, and love.They said they were awarding scholarships to the winners of an essay contest.

The main energy of October is a desire for purity. Around us there is so much dirt and nonsense, it begins to annoy. Even the most steeped in sin can stop and think again, or at least to think about what s/he was doing. And there is only one thing needed – the presence of (even a small grain of) honesty in the heart. And sincerity reacts to sincerity, therefore, the quality of sincerity should be our foundation in all our relations in October. If you want to change something – be sincere.
Sincerity will force many of us to look for something new. You will see the long-awaited desire for change. Perhaps even expectation of a miracle, that should happen and bring an update. People are tired of suffering, and when they are given a ray of hope, they are happily hold onto it. Indeed, in October, especially the first half of it can bring us to the solution of many problems, good luck and unexpected lightness in matters that have seemed difficult and even unsolvable.
This means that many things will come to hand, horizons become wider, trees – larger, and we – younger. We certainly are not going to get younger, but at this time we can feel ten years younger in every sense. This is when you can start a new large-scale projects, which were difficult to execute in previous months due to the obstacles and delays. In October, you can easily achieve goals and really expand the horizons of your influence. Relationships can start to improve and friends to return. There will be new grounds for cooperation, especially in politics, business and religious projects. However, we must not forget that this positive period still takes place within a year of negative Mars , which means that you need to make sure that this cooperation does not go into the area "being friends against someone."
This month will give also some impatience in the implementation of plans. Whenever things start to go well after stagnation, people tend to lose the skill of waiting patiently for the result, while laboring on it's achievement. Unfortunately, along with appearance of the ease attachment to the results comes back. Generally October will push toward excess, so you have to follow the diet and control all other aspects of life, where the excesses are usually shown. Desires simply multiply. In general, we should not forget about moderation!

It takes a lot to make a truly terrifying film, and in this day and age, where horror is starting to run out of ideas (or rather, choosing to only focus on cheap thrills and jump scares), the possession or haunted house storyline is getting a bit too cliched and obvious – and with the exception of The Conjuring, these popular horror tropes are not working anymore. However, sometimes horror films come out that are truly brutal and original, and sometimes, we watch a horror film without even knowing that it is a horror film, and rather something else. One such film is Green Room, one of the more unconventional and unique horror films I've seen, mainly because the film starts out like any other musical drama, or perhaps just a very dark thriller. However, I was shocked to find myself utterly terrified, and whether or not it was the intention, Green Room was one of the most legitimately scary films of the year.
Why are horror films so superficially scary? I don't dislike the genre in any way, but I sometimes feel like horror is one of the least effective cinematic genres, mainly because of the fact that nearly every other genre stays with you – you can recall funny moments from comedies, sad moments from dramas, hum along to songs from musicals and think over the mysteries and solutions of crime films. With the exception of perhaps not being able to fall asleep that night, horror films aren't effective in staying with you, mainly because modern horror cinema has become lazy (and not all of it, there are still some genuinely brilliant mainstream horror films) and rely only on shock tactics and cheap scares – and while a jump scare does do exactly that, a few seconds later, you've forgotten all about it, and will move on. The fact of the matter is horror cinema has recreated the idea of ghosts and poltergeists, and whether you believe in them or not, you have to admit the preoccupation with using them to scare is becoming slightly…boring? I am well-aware that people love these kinds of cheap-thrills, but they don't work for me anymore, and I just find myself left cold by them.
That's where Green Room comes in. There is not a ghost, demon, poltergeist or any other-worldly creature in sight throughout this entire film. Instead, it takes on some real-life monsters, far more terrifying than anything that fiction could stir up – right-wing, extremist Neo-Nazis. True villains of the world, they are far more malicious than many horror antagonists, and this is exactly what makes Green Room such a terrifying film – these people do exist, and they do partake in the terrorizing and violent actions that the film displays – and they are as terrifying as you'd expect in this film. If there was any chance that I wouldn't want to encounter a group of Neo-Nazis before, this film solidified that desire. You won't believe that Green Room is a horror film until you're fully immersed in the brutal and nihilistic violence, and live through the fear that the characters encounter. It is one of the more subliminal and subtle horror films of recent years, in the way that it completely takes you by surprise and never lets you go until you are left suitably enraged and terrified.
Green Room concerns a punk band, named The Ain't Rights, composed of Pat (Anton Yelchin), Sam (Alia Shawkat), Tiger (Callum Turner) and Reece (Joe Cole), who are desperately searching for gigs. By chance, they encounter the opportunity to perform for a crowd that apparently loves punk music – they just also happen to be far-right extremist Neo-Nazis, and while their music does entertain the crowd, they soon find themselves trapped in a room after witnessing a senseless murder – and they discover that they are going to be eliminated, because the owner, Darcy Banker (Patrick Stewart) believes that they are too dangerous, and any witnesses need to be killed. What follows is a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse, where the innocent band has to fend off a group of evil men who want them dead for simply being in the wrong place at the right time. Vicious tactics and some killer dogs are used to destroy the band, and in typical slasher horror fashion, the band members are killed off one by one, until only one remains.
It is very sad to see Anton Yelchin in a film now – he was a supreme talent and someone who had such an amazing future ahead of him, and his life was cut needlessly short by a tragic accident. Green Room is a bizarre film for Yelchin, because I never really took him for the type who would be in a punk band. He wasn't as convincing as one would think, but considering that The Ain't Rights are more hipster-punk than pure-punk explains this. Yelchin was a great actor, and it was really sad to see him in this film, because it was clear his career hadn't even reached its fullest potential yet. This won't be the last time we see Yelchin, as he still has some films that will be posthumously released, but it will only serve to remind us of the great actor that Yelchin could have become, given more time. The rest of the band is pretty conventional, if not unremarkable. Patrick Stewart is intense and terrifying as the leader of the Neo-Nazis, and while he also seems slightly miscast (and his American accent isn't as good as I would have hoped), he did a great job with the material. Imogen Poots was nothing special, and I am not quite sure where her career is headed, but it doesn't seem to be very effective in films like Green Room, where she doesn't really work well with the material.
Green Room is a great film. It was one of the scariest and most intense films I've watched in a while, and it goes to show that horror lurks in the most unconventional places. It may not do well to explore the themes of punk and its culture as much as I would have liked to (I will admit the main reason I was excited for this film was because it was about a punk band), it was still a great film and one that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. I thought it was a great film that terrified me beyond belief, and while some may argue its not a true horror film, it is certainly horrifying enough to be considered one.

Major Arcanum VI, The Two Paths, is the anchor to the sixes of the Minor Arcanum. In most decks, this major arcanum is called The Lovers. When reading other decks, this writer could not understand the keyword Choice because only the naked lady was on the card! From the image of the Brotherhood of Light Arcanum VI, however, we can more clearly see why Choice and Temptation are keywords for The Two Paths. One woman is dressed chastely, representing virtue, while the other one is bare-breasted and crowned with the fruit of the vine, representing vice. Major Arcanum V, The Heirophant, educates us about ethics, law, and religion, and Major Arcanum VI, The Two Paths, challenges us to test our ethics. Usually when The Two Paths turns up in a reading, the choice is between what is right action versus what is easier or momentarily desirable. Major Arcanum VI is ruled by Venus and, as such, it also pertains to beauty and the arts.
The key phrase for the mundane meaning of the Six of Scepters is MUSIC, ART OR DRAMA. This could, of course, mean the study of these areas, an artsy environment, or a profession in the arts. Other key phrases might be:
Powerful love nature
Social activity to promote business
Ability to rule others in business
The soft sell brings more success
Reliance on good taste
The astrological key word for the Six of Scepters is AMBITION as this is the Aries decanate of Leo. In this last decanate of Leo, there is the love of power and rulership coupled with the leadership skills of Aries. As a result, ambition determines a rise in life regardless of the obstacles. This ambition may be squandered on self-aggrandizement or, more ideally, channeled for the benefit of universal welfare.
The spiritual message of the Six of Scepters is related through the Greek mythology of how the Raven came to wear a black cloak. Once upon a time, when Raven was purest white, Apollo, the Sun God, fell deeply in love with Coronis and became very jealous and possessive of her. Apollo asked the white raven to spy upon Coronis. Of course, it is common knowledge that those who secretly pry into the lives of others rarely learn anything complimentary about them, and so it was that Raven discovered Coronis' love for another man. Raven came back to Apollo with plenty of gossip and took great delight in the telling, adding an embellishment here and there just for fun. Apollo, broken-hearted and enraged at the reports of his sweetheart's infidelity, shot Coronis through her heart. Ever since that fateful day, the scandal-mongering raven was compelled to wear a cloak of black so that all might know him as a gossip.
Freud explained that those who find a healthy expression for their creative energies are not given to gossip. They are not interested in the scandalous affairs of others because their own love natures have been completely satisfied. But the scandalmonger, in telling and in hearing about the morbid affairs of others, takes part in these acts vicariously. To the extent an individual talks about and thinks about that which is either debasing or heroic, so does his character become. The spiritual message of the Six of Scepters, therefore, is:
Man tends to become that which he most talks about and thinks about. __C.C. Zain

Masset is much bigger than Queen Charlotte City. We finally have showers and laundry again, though it costs us a bit to clean everyone up. We took a spin around the town visiting the surf shop, and the hardware store where we bought a couple of cheep dip nets to try our hand at crabbing. We also watched a group of four men who were working on a reconciliation totem pole that's going to be placed at UBC at the beginning of October. By the end, the amount of time all the carvers will spend on it will be equal to one man spending 10 years working on the pole. I can only imagine how much such a pole would cost…
Team of totem carvers
The next couple days were spent just north of Masset at a campground on Agate Beach. Our time was spent walking along the beach, climbing Tow Hill, and checking out the blow hole. Tow Hill is the remains of an eroded volcano and is very prominent on the horizon. We made the short climb in the evening and looked out off the cliff edge as the sun set below the horizon. The blow hole is a hole in the rock that is oriented in such a way that when the waves come in, the water shoots up into the sky. We only saw it go about 3 m or so, but we heard it can get much higher. We also tried our hand at crabbing, though most of the crabs have been fished out by big ships. To crab, you walk back and forth in the water at knee height until you come across a crab and then, you net em! The water was freezing, but after about 2 minutes we couldn't feel our legs so it was fine. Jake managed to catch one, but it turned out to be a female which are illegal to keep.

I'll give a quick status update before we head off on our sailing trip. Naomi is having troubles with restless leg syndrome. The doctors thought it might have been low iron, but here blood tests didn't support that theory. Dad is having problems with sore joints. His hips and knees have been aching, probably due to some kind of arthuritic condition. He will have to see a specialist in Vancouver before we leave Canada. His neck is also bothering him because of an inflamed nerve, though it's slowly starting to go away. All the medical issues are stressing Mom out a little. We are all getting along fairly well, though there has been a little bit of bickering recently. I am missing the ability to disappear into my room for some alone time. All in all though, we are doing really well. The meal/dishes groups are working out really well and everyone is pulling their weight.

The car interior
When you open the 2015 Audi A4 door you will see the interior is very light. Grey nice sculptured leather seats which can be adjusted are easily regulated to be fixed at the position you like. The dashboard is made of a soft to touch material, which will be not cracked or faded with time. Climate control lets the back seat passengers regulating the temperature and fan speed. The back passengers won't like the seat length as the front passenger and driver, although the car inside is decently roomy. Any driver, even a beginner, can drive this sports sedan with no problems. Starting the car, you can choose any of these ways: using the car key, or pushing the button to start ( the second variant is very easy ).

Awhile ago I posted about a supposed 'FORK' in the road of my life. Decisions were to be made about whether or not we would try for a second baby. Collectively we could come up with so many reasons NOT to, and so many reasons why we absolutely should.
Months passed, and I could never close the door. Even when we both agreed that we were blessed with one beautiful child and that was enough I wasn't completely at peace. My husband knew all along, he just said he wanted to wait for me to come around at my own time. He knows me a little too well.
We decided to try again, giving ourselves through Christmas. If nothing happened by then we knew that that was our sign, and I convinced myself I'd be okay with that.
We're pregnant.
I'm actually about 14 1/2 weeks along but have been keeping things between family and friends until I hit the 12 week mark and told my boss. Both of equal importance!
This time around is so different. I still have been barfing a bit, but not near as much as with Brooklyn. I haven't gained any weight, in fact, I've lost 5 lbs. I did do that with her too so I'm not worried about it, and trust me, I am eating. I think that because I've been there done that I am not nearly as fixated on EVERY LITTLE DETAIL or already experiencing the anxiety of having to BIRTH a child. That thought absolutley terrified me. It, physically, didn't make sense to me. Watermelon. Lemon. TERROR. My husband is blissfully happy with this 2nd pregnancy as I'm not near as much of a crazy bitch, not yet at least, and I'm not screaming at him that WE HAVE TO READ PAGE 32 in the pregnancy bible book because OMG WE'RE 14 WEEKS AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW!!! (break down sob fest). See, the first pregnancy was definitely different.
In fact, I have to remind myself I'm pregnant most days. Chasing a 15 month old around is basically like owning exercise equipment and on top of that I keep my normal pace I always have. I get in trouble and my husband literally forces me to sit down and rest. My body feels it though, and this little baby sends me subtle reminds he/she is there. Warm Whispers to take care of him/her, slow down, stay healthy, rest, and GET READY.
We are so blessed this Christmas to be surrounded by our amazing family and friends, and to know that another little life is soon on the way. I am very thankful…
Merry Christmas! Happy Festivus! Hannukkah! Whatever it is you celebrate, CHEERS.

[This story has been updated following a late interview with AMA's chief executive, Ray Malone]
It's not quite a car wreck for AMA Group's shareholders, but it's close enough with the stock suffering its worst one-day tumble in three and a half years.
The automotive parts and services group skidded 14.6%, or 4 cents, into the red to 23.5 cents in afternoon trade after management delivered a weaker-than-expected half year result that casts doubt on the group's ability to meet 2013-14 full year consensus earnings forecast.
The man behind the wheel of AMA, Ray Malone, is not flustered. If anything he is pretty pleased at how the group has performed in a challenging market that has weighed on the industry. The headwinds include the slowdown in the mining sector as AMA provides accessories and parts to trucks and commercial vehicles used at mines.
"I am not bothered at all. I am actually very bullish," Malone tells Eureka Report. "The reason it doesn't bother me is because this is just a natural cycle. You can't have linear growth."
AMA's sales for the six months to end December slipped 6.8% to $30.8 million as net profit from continuing operations fell 30.9% to $2.6 million. The sharp drop in its bottom line is mainly due to an unusually large income tax bill from the closing out of legacy bank debt, which brought AMA to the brink of collapse a few years ago before Malone became the chief executive and rescued the group.
If its tax liability stayed flat from the previous corresponding period, net profit would have fallen 12.5%. That's still not a great result but Malone believes he is still on track to double group earnings before he retires in four years, a goal he revealed to me during an interview in November last year.
But there are some positives from today's results. Malone says that the worst is over and he is noticing a pick up across all the divisions, including Alanco, which is exposed to the mining slowdown.
It's acquisition of Custom Alloy (a bull bar manufacturer) is also poised to contribute to earnings in the second half and its panel beating business, Mr Gloss, has entered the current half on a strong footing with a "record January and excellent February". Mr Gloss is one of the few businesses that delivered decent 7.7% revenue growth for the half.
I am expecting to see a stronger June half result but it is unlikely AMA will meet consensus net profit forecast of $7.4 million for 2013-14.
I am hoping AMA will at least be able to pull in a full year profit of $5.92 million, which would put the stock on a reasonable price-earnings multiple of 13.3 times, which is roughly inline with its peers and a 28% discount to sector darling ARB Corporation (ARP).
Further, AMA is committing to paying at least a 1.6 cent final divided. This would put the stock on a 6.8% net yield, or 9.7% once franking credits are added. AMA does not pay an interim dividend.

Enbridge Inc. of Canada has agreed to purchase Spectra Energy Corp. of Houston, Texas, in a $28 billion all-stock deal, reported The Wall Street Journal.
The boards of each pipeline company are fully backing the acquisition that will create one massive energy pipeline and storage organization. In a joint press release, the companies noted that the deal should close in early 2017, according to the WSJ.
Assets of the newly established company will include natural gas pipelines, liquids and crude oil, terminal and mainstream operations, renewable power generation operations as well as a regulated utility portfolio. Under the company name Enbridge Inc., the merge will leave current Enbridge shareholders with 57 percent of the combined company while shareholders of Spectra Energy will now own 43 percent.
Enbridge also announced expectations to divest $2 billion of non-core assets over the course of the next year, reported Bloomberg.
Overall, the amalgamation has the potential to reach $418 million in cost savings.
"Over the last two years, we've been focused on identifying opportunities that would extend and diversify our asset base and sources of growth beyond 2019," CEO and president of Enbridge, Al Monaco, said in a statement. "We are accomplishing that goal by combining with the premier natural gas infrastructure company to create a true North American and global energy infrastructure leader."

The Truth Will Set You Free
Does Smith's Murder Make Him a Martyr?
Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum Smith were murdered on June 27, 1844, by an armed mob, an event that has prompted many Mormons to classify them both as martyrs.
A close analysis of the term and even a superficial examination of the circumstances of Joseph Smith's demise suggest that he was no martyr. To be labeled a martyr one must meet specific criteria, for example, the reasons why one is put to death and the way one faces that death.
An examination of the reasons why Smith was murdered and the actions he took to avoid this fate makes it problematic to maintain that Smith was like that, "lamb led to the slaughter."
As I discussed previously Joseph Smith was properly arrested on the charge of treason for his destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor and the calling out of the Nauvoo Legion. These were not trumped up charges as many Church members have been taught.
Prior to his arrest, he fled the jurisdiction to avoid justice, only returning after his wife informed him that many of his followers viewed him as a coward for running away and leaving them to their own devices.
When Smith, who was also Nauvoo's mayor, realized that several former members were planning to publish an exposé of his polygamy, polyandry, sex with young girls, dishonesty and political machinations in the Expositor, he convinced the Nauvoo City Council to declare the paper a "nuisance" and order the destruction of its press and type.
Then, on June 19, Smith declared martial law and put his four-thousand-member Nauvoo Legion on alert before he and his brother Hyrum Smith left town. When Joseph and Hyrum returned, they were arrested, charged with treason and placed in a minimum-security cell at the Carthage Jail. According to History of the Church 6:605, Smith had Emma tell church leader Jonathan Dunham to tell the people to just stay home and to "let there be no groups or gathering together, unless by permission of the governor."
However, Smith's biographer Fawn Brodie writes that Smith "hastily scribbled an order to Dunham to bring in the Legion, break the jail, and save him at all costs. Within seconds two messengers bearing this order and the letter to Emma were off at a frantic gallop on the fifteen-mile trip to Nauvoo." 1
While Smith, Hyram and the others were drinking wine and singing, a mob storms the jail and rushed up the stairs to the room where Joseph was being held.
Hyrum approached the door as a volley of balls came through it. One struck him on the left side of his nose, and he fell on his back on the floor supposedly uttering, "I am a dead man!"
He was.
Joseph reached round the door casing, and discharged his six-shooter into the passageway, discharging all the bullets it contained. Reportedly he shot two men, one of whom may have died from his wounds.
Realizing any further resistance was hopeless, he attempted to jump out the window when two balls pierced him from the door, and one entered his right breast from the mob below, and he fell outward into the hands of his murderers, exclaiming. "O Lord, my God!"
As he fell to the ground below, he was propped up and shot again and died.
How did Smith come to have a weapon in jail?
Early LDS Church leader Cyrus H. Wheelock smuggled the six-shooter to him during a visit to the Carthage Jail. As Wheelock was about to leave, he took the gun out and said, "Would any of you like to have this?"
As Taylor writes: "Brother Joseph immediately replied, 'YES, give it to me,' whereupon he took the pistol, and put it in his pantaloons pocket." 2
To say that Joseph Smith was martyred rather than simply murdered is important to many Latter-day Saints. Brigham Young University professor Robert Millet explained how Mormons consider Smith's death to be like the death of Jesus when he wrote: "The life of Joseph Smith was in some degree patterned after that of the Master, Jesus Christ. That pattern holds true even when extended to its tragic conclusion. Like his Master, Joseph Smith also shed his blood so that the final testament, the reestablishment of the new covenant, might be in full effect." 3.
A famous LDS hymn references Smith's death this way:
Hail to the Prophet ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.
Praise to his memory, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever-great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assassins,
Plead unto heaven while the earth lauds his fame.
Joseph and Hyrum's murder was a cruel, barbarous act but I do not believe it is accurate to classify Smith as a martyr.
Firstly, a martyr is one willing to die for his faith. Smith certainly did not die willingly; he engaged in a gunfight with his assailants after he had pleaded with his associates to 'break him out' and after he had first chosen to run away.
A true martyr would not have attempted to call on the Nauvoo Legion, nor shoot at, injure and possibly kill his attackers.
I am not suggesting that Joseph Smith or anyone else is not morally justified in defending themselves, however, Smith's behavior can hardly be compared to Jesus who reprimanded Peter, saying "for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
Secondly, Joseph Smith did not die so much for his faith but rather to prevent a newspaper from going public with an exposé of his illegal sexual behavior and treasonous political ambitions. It was Joseph Smith's deeds – not his Mormon beliefs that led to his murder.
Can we honestly put Joseph Smith in the same company as Saint Stephen who falsely accused, could have avoided his stoning had he just denied the Lord and whose last words were, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit…Lord, lay not this sin to their charge?"
Can we honesty put Joseph Smith in the same company as the Lord Jesus Christ who wouldn't allow His disciples to fight, but rather reprimanded Peter for resisting?
He could have called down angels and destroyed His accusers. But No, he suffered, bled and died for you and for me, whose last words were, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do?"
There have been many who have died for their Christian faith since the days of Jesus and the Apostles. Sadly, there are hundreds around the world who give their lives even today as true Christian martyrs.
Father Ragheed Ganni was born in 1972 in Iraq. After studying in Rome, Father Ganni requested to be sent back to Iraq to serve his country as a Catholic priest. As a priest who spoke four languages, he worked with "Asia News" as the Pontifical Institute Foreign Missions Correspondent.
One night, after celebrating Mass where his three cousins served as deacons, as the four men left the Church. A man approached the group and told Father Ganni to shut down the Church, to which he responded, "How can I close the house of God?"
Father Ganni and his three deacons were told to convert to Islam or die. They bravely refused and were then all shot to death, their bodies being placed in a car full of explosives so if anyone attempted to remove the bodies, they would also have been destroyed.
Father Ganni was a martyr.
Born in 1943 in Italy, Annalena Tonelli was a lawyer who at age 25 moved to Africa to work with the Committee Against World Hunger, an organization she helped found.
Later she moved to Borama, where she founded a tuberculosis hospital, whose $20,000 monthly maintenance bills were funded by her friends and family back in Italy.
She brought HIV/AIDS patients to the Borama hospital because she believed they deserved to be treated like human beings and children of God. This move was not received well, and protesters routinely threw stones breaking the windows of the hospital, chanting "Death to Annalena."
On October 5, 2003, Annalena was shot in the head and killed while working in the hospital she founded.
Annalena was a martyr.
Considering Smith's conduct, sleeping with other men's wives as well as a small class of 'Mia Maids' and then lying about it to his only legal wife and his faithful followers. Considering his ordering the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor, the newspaper intent on exposing him. I think it borders on blasphemy for Smith to compare the situation he got himself into to the pure and innocent sacrifice made by the Lord Jesus Christ by allegedly saying, "I am going like a lamb to the slaughter."
Just because a person is murdered does not make them a martyr. Mormons are free to venerate, exalt and worship their religion's founder as they need, but it is simply not correct to refer Joseph Smith's death a martyrdom.

Placer GOP Central Committee Update: Karen England at Center of Turmoil
The meeting was punctuated with multiple interruptions on a variety of issues by Karen England.
She is running for State CRA President and based on her behavior, thinks attacking the Placer CRA led Central Committee is furthering her campaign.
As a note – Cheryl Bly-Chester made repeated mentions of following election law as it related to something I am not sure of – but she was not a disruptive force in this meeting. She appeared to completely back away from earlier charges she made regarding a conspiracy as it pertained to the Jeff Allen vacancy.
Again, Karen England voted in lock step with the Moderates. (Despite her campaign for CRA President)
The first "Highlight" was when Karen England was publicly exposed as the source of the Complaint filed with the Placer DA's office that precipitated our current FPPC audit. (It is the belief, despite her denials, the Karen is responsible fully or in part for the complaint filed with the DA's office against the Central Committee)
She went berzerk – while she threatened to sue Placer County Republican Party Treasurer George Park multiple times – then started equivocating on her denial.
She swore once and screamed for at least five minutes – causing several on the committee to wonder why she was protesting her innocence so much. She had a couple of beers up to this point in the meeting and I am not sure if they were a factor in what transpired.
(Note that Karen England is executive director of a "family values lobbying firm" – put in quotes because they (the CRI) disagree with our characterization of their organization)
The significance is that Karen has been attacking the integrity of several Central Committee Members for almost 18 months with no pushback.
This blogger has been able to determine that several local tea party leaders – including the three that were in attendance at Wednesday's meeting are working closely with Karen in trying to take down the leadership.
They have no evidence – but participate in frequent calls to the local media to try their case. They seem to think when a reporter calls or when they call a reporter that it is open season.
The second significant issue is that Karen England changed her story about the "FBI Investiagtion" in her tirade. I think she said "Officer O'Malley" – or something similar as she had previously refused requests for info on the agents she spoke to. Her story continued to get even more dramatic as she went in to details about the visit – but no details about what the Agents wanted.
The FBI could be investigating Capitol Resource Institute for all anyone knows as the story keeps evolving, no one knows where it will head next.
Third – the entire Central Committee now has copies of the Complaint that was filed. Karen England turned pale while these were being distributed, minutes before she erupted.
Her three friends in the various local Tea Parties continue to believe what she has told them despite mounting evidence that her slander campaign is nothing more than an attempt to destory political enemies.
We've yet to see any evidence any accusers have of corruption against us.
But – the FPPC audit and the complaint Karen is the alleged author of was based on anonymous blog comments. On the Red County Blog.
Almost on queue – Ed Fletcher from the Sacramento Bee made some phone calls on Thursday, the day after the meeting.
It has been Karen's pattern to use her connections as a "lobbyist" to approach local media to try her case against the Placer CRA. She claims they call her not the other way around – it doesn't really matter if her name continues to appear in the local papers, now does it?
With Republicans like Karen England, who needs Democrats?
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Sheldon Brown was a genius.
After experiencing the mystery clicking the other night and then riding quietly up and down the street for a half hour trying to figure out the source, I pretty much concluded that my bottom bracket was acting up. Figuring $50 or so for the part and maybe $25 labor, I mentally prepare myself, with the worst part being that I have no idea how long the bike will be in the shop because of repair backlogs.
Out of curiousity, I check the Park website, and they give a list of things to check before focusing on the BB. Especially enticing are the pedal bearings. These are bargain Dimension pedals that have at least 4K miles on them, and it was easy to imagine them dying. I figured that it would make the most sense to just replace them, so I was down to $35-50, depending on what I could find.
But wait! I do a quick Google on bottom bracket noise, and up pops one of Sheldon's sites, and it's organized around noise. Yup. I had to discern between clicks and ticks; and the general area that it was coming from. He pretty much matched the Park site, but then he includes this little innocuous comment: "check the —– ———."
So I go home last night, and swap the pedal with the Cannondale, thinking about the bearing. The clicking is gone. I put the pedals back on, thinking I'll pick up a pair this week, when I notice the little plastic reflector is loose. The plastic nubs that snap it into the pedal cage have worn, and the reflector is flapping around. It takes 5 seconds with a screw driver to pop out the reflectors…quick test ride in the street…no noise.
Another five seconds to remove the right side reflector, and all is well. Cost: $0.00.
Sheldon, we luv ya!

From Imperial Splendour to Internment
The German Navy in the First World War
After gaining his doctorate for writing a thesis on German and British naval officers during the Great War, German banker Nicolas Wolz wrote From Imperial Splendour to Internment – The German Navy in the First World War. This eleven chapter, 268 page hard cover book is author's comprehensive look into the Imperial German Navy leading up to and throughout the First World War. Through archival research and weighing heavily on the writing of both German and British sailors and offices from the time period, Nicolas Wolf paints a picture of life in and around the German Navy as it prepared for war with the most powerful navy afloat at the moment; the British Royal Navy.

- Index
There are sixteen pages of photographic plates within this book between pages 44-45
In this book, author articulately allows us to witness the buildup of the Imperial German Navy following the War of 1870 between Germany and France. High ranking officers within the German Navy convinced Emperor Wilhelm II that Germany was best served with an incredible fleet of ship that match that of the long-powerful Grand Fleet of the United Kingdom. To no avail, this massive Navy would find itself at a somewhat stalemate with Britain from the outset of WWI and other than the great successes of the U-boat campaigns and a few smaller skirmishes would see only one major battle which would render the Imperial Navy all but useless.
Throughout the book, the author quotes the writings of many of the German admiralty, officers and sailors showing us what these men we thinking and feeling during that time. From the jubilation from the German people over the overwhelmingly decisive victory at the Battle of Coronel through the Battle of Dogger Bank followed by the British blockade of the North Sea regulating the High Seas Fleet to the monotonous burden of sedentary confinement in port waiting for some great naval battle of honor; which never really came with the exception of Jutland where tactfully the Imperial Navy trumped the Grand Fleet. To no avail though, the blockade withstood in the wake of the British defeat.
The author writes in great detail about the Battle of Jutland and gives us a glimpse into the mindset of both the German and British admiralty, officers and rank through the sharing of excerpts of letters from these men. In most cases these letters are written to loved ones and express the true feeling of the men. These expressions are continued on into the subsequent chapters when the author takes us through the time of armistice which resulted in the surrendering of the entire U-boat fleet as well as the High Seas Fleet. This was a terrible blow to the moral of not just the military and political factions of Germany but the civilian population as well. Turning over an entire fleet that technically up until this point had been victorious in their eyes.
From Imperial Splendour to Internment – The German Navy in the First World War, by Nicolas, Wolz is well written and very informative examination of the Imperial German Navy from it birthrights after the War of 1879 until its demise culminating with the entire High Seas fleet of seventy-four ships lying at the bottom of Scapa Flow during the internment following the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. This book allows us a fascinating insight into the hearts and minds of German and British sailors that lived through the experience of being at sea during the First World War. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Imperial German High Seas Fleet or Naval subject of WWI.
Modelers Social Club an MSC Review Connect would like to thank Pen and Sword Books for providing a copy of From Imperial Splendour to Internment for review.

The Juice is no longer Loose!!
OJ's freedom has finally been stripped away by a Las Vegas judge who was not impressed by the Juice's claim that he never intended to commit a crime when he barged into a Vegas hotel room with five men and a gun. Was it vindication for the 1995 acquittal that saw the Juice set loose after one of the most dramatic and notorious trials ever? Maybe, but nobody is ever gonna prove that the judge and jury were on a mission to put the Juice away. The fact remains that OJ did commit a crime and just about everyone I know is well aware that one cannot bust into somebody else's residence armed and take stuff from said residence. It's called robbery and you can bet that OJ knew what he was doing that day in Vegas.
According to ESPN, OJ's sentence ranges from 9 – 33 years, with an apparent 5 years till he's up for parole. Not quite a murder sentence but it has made some of the Goldman family and others happy to see him locked up for a while. The relatives of Ron Goldman, one of the murder victims in 1994, claimed their relentless pursuit of the $33.5 million that OJ owes them drove him to commit the robbery. The money has been owed since a 1997 verdict which found OJ liable for the murders of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.
The guy really doesn't deserve an ounce of sympathy especially when he tried to sell a book called, "If I did it", a hypothetical story of the murders in his eyes as if he had really stabbed the two victims to death in 1994. Ridiculous as it sounds, this book almost hit the shelves. It seems like a miracle to me that somebody actually thought about it and stopped publishing the book while claiming to destroy 400,000 copies. Apparently, they got to about 399,998 cuz one copy was reviewed by Vanity Fair while another sold for $65,000 on eBay. You can't make this shit up.
Personally, I adored the Juice as a football player and when I was 10 read an autobiography he wrote. In the book, he talks about growing up in the hood and getting into all kinds of trouble, so I wasn't all that surprised when he became a murderer. Unfortunately, his status as role model and hero faded as he became the prime suspect in his ex-wife's slaying. I am truly glad he received the sentence he was handed and hope he learns something from all this….that you can't get away with murder robbery.

Are you serious about that book? "If I did it", that is fucking ridiculous! Might as well go on national television and laugh in the faces of mourning family members saying that you got away with murdering there children… what a douche.
Comment by Scheme-On | December 6, 2008 |
I don't understand the whole hater-aid thrown upon the Juice. There are plenty of other murderers in this world who are walking around, free as can be… One of them is about to be our ex-presi.
And I'd like to see how you'd react to your ex letting her boyfriend ride around in the sports car that you paid for, living in the house that you paid for and eating the food (woman) that you paid for.
Comment by jbcizool | December 8, 2008 |
im not gonna even touch the ex-president non sense but to vindicate the guy from murder because his wife was bangin a dude that was driving her whip that he paid for and eating his grub is far beyond absurdity, even if Kato was using the food that OJ bought to satisfy Nicole… while she was driving OJ's Bronco- it would STILL not justify murder.
"hater-aid thrown upon the juice"? is that sentence for real? HAHAH

Not all district magistrates are elected to begin with. DJ Linda Williams was appointed by Mayor do nothing Brenner. Another thing I fail to understand is why they allow former cops and DA's to become judges or districts magistrates. How can they be objective when they believe all the lies that the police tell.

Its o.k. Jersey,your just human,I enjoyed the debate.You brought out some interesting points.No fight with me!

Stupid Post Of The Day award. You care to cite examples of lies that were told in court? I guess they should only allow defense attorneys to become magistrates, since we know they NEVER lie.

F*ck off; a ring on your finger doesn't constitute how good of a parent you are. It's none of your damn business whether they're married or not, and it is of no relevance to the story. You don't magically become a better parent just because you have a piece of paper stating you're married .
#50 Jan 27, 2010
I know the speeder and he is a compulsive liar. His car went out of inspection 4/09. He is a jerk and doesn't deserve compasion from anyone. I have no doubt in my mind he was racing and he has other offenses in maryland including speeding and a dui. He also has a court date coming up in feb. for trying to drive away while holding onto his girlfriend while she was outside of the vehicle. He is actually a bad person/monster. If only you knew Donald a.k.a. donnie.
#51 Jan 30, 2010
""I was speeding a little bit but not excessively," Roberts said."
"Roberts maintains he would not put his girlfriend or daughter in harm's way."
"Roberts believes state police may have mistaken him with another car that was with another group of drivers who were speeding ahead of him. "I'm just saying," Roberts said"
Once again the "oh I'm a victim... MAN up to your faults & stop blaming the rest of the world for your failures, I'm sure we'll see you in the news agaiN WHAT WILL BE YOUR EXCUSE THAT TIME ?

I think that everyone on here is making way to big of a deal of this....none of you were there and know what happened...I was, so dont be so quick to judge people...
#54 Feb 16, 2010
Btw read the title...im not a monster...the media smears everyone but themselves..you know damn straight that if the head of the ydr got a dui ticket and charges you wouldnt hear about it in any of the papers bc money talks to these people...they smear us and not themselves...

Lemonade is actually very easy to make at home. Homemade lemonade just tastes so much better than the stuff from a can. Next time you're at the store, skip the frozen concentrate and grab a bag of lemons instead.
6 Lemons
1 Cup sugar
1 Cup water
Cold water
- Bring 1 Cup of water to a boil. Immediately turn off the head.
- Add 1 Cup sugar to the hot water.
- Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Cut 6 lemons in half and juice them. (You can buy a hand squeeze juicer at the grocery store for about $3 if you don't have one).
- In a pitcher combine the lemon juice, simple syrup. Fill the pitcher up with cold water.
- Enjoy!

Now that I've caught up with my 1985 diary, I can start to look at each day as they came. Monday 15th April. Number 1 on the charts was We are the World by USA for Africa. I underwent a normal working day at the United Service Club on Wickham Tce, where I held the exalted role of Cellarmaster, which in truth was just a fancy name for bottle shop manager – there were cellars and I had the key and plenty of tastes, so in some respects I may well have been a Cellarmaster. I recall a lot of whisky action for Joh Bjelke-Petersen's media advisor – he'd back up the Fairlane and I'd fill the boot with single malts and cognac off the top shelf – seeing Allen always meant I'd make the sales figures for the month.
I used to either walk, catch the bus or ride my bike from New Farm to Wickham Tce – the perk was a proper lunch from the restaurant kitchen. April 15 is a terrible day to start this day-by-day account and review, as by my own description it was, "…most uneventful". I report watching Channel 2 until Anne Jones came home. It seems Anne cooked dinner for some people called Bill and Jenny, who I obviously felt I would remember in future and chose not to record surnames and then Pip came over and, as every 1985 evening was wont to end, we drank coffee.
Pip had been working at La Boite, which meant she had a technical role int he Off The Top Cabaret Festival that had bumped in the day before. Oh well, it seems this Urban Gent had quiet days as well.
