Gov. Rick Snyder continues to amaze me – and not in an impressive way. I don't care for his stance on, well, just about everything.
I watched enough of the address to know exactly why I didn't vote for him in the first place. And, believe me I'm the most fair person you'll ever know. This guy has got to go!
I'm inclined to think his "nerdy" ways are just a cover up and underneath it all is a well-scripted man who carries around an "8 Ball" for use in making policy decisions.
Don't laugh! I bet it's true. How is it possible this man can say the phrase "user fee" with a straight face, when in all actuality we know it means "tax."
According to his proposed plan, vehicle registrations would go up an unprecedented $120 per vehicle. This is how he plans to raise revenue to fix our roads. Oh, and by raising the gas tax. Wow, I guess if he does that he won't have to worry about the roads. No one will be able to afford to drive.
I don't see this passing through our State congress, even though Republicans control the Gov. and lieutenant Gov. seats, the State's Atty. Gen., the Michigan House, and the Michigan Senate. Republicans DO NOT like to vote to raise taxes because it goes on their permanent record that they did so.
I don't know if "user fee" will do the trick, but the self-proclaimed nerd is going to give it a try.
This was definitely the talk today, along with his thoughts on ending Michigan No-Fault. I work in the insurance industry and dropping No-Fault would be as huge mistake. I'm not saying there aren't a few areas where it could be tweaked, particularly the Personal Injury Protection coverage, but to totally overhaul it would be stupid. I'm more inclined to think that the way medical claims are billed to auto insurance carriers is the biggest area of concern. I do not believe that a hospital, doctor, or medical institution should be allowed to bill an auto carrier a higher premium for someone injured in an auto accident versus someone just needing a procedure.
An example would be: "John" visits his doctor for a routine check up and the his doctor sees reason for Jim to have an MRI for his headaches. The hospital may be bill Jim's health insurance $1,000 for the MRI.
Now let's say "Jim" is involved in an accident and hits his head. His doctor may order an MRI to evaluate his injury. Sounds reasonable, right? I think so. The only difference is because this incident is from an auto accident, Jim's auto carrier covers those medical bills on an unlimited basis. Now that its auto-related, the hospital may turn around and bill Jim's auto carrier sometimes as much as 10 times the cost it would charge Jim's regular health coverage for an MRI.
You see the difference here? It's not fair that the auto carrier be billed more for basically the same services.
I don't see Snyder as being a "smart" man. I've known many nerds in my lifetime and any one of them could be doing a much better job than he is doing.
Any 'nerd' could do better than Snyder
Gov. Rick Snyder continues to amaze me – and not in an impressive way. I don't care for his stance on, well, just about everything.

Various Types of Ear Plugs
Ear plugs are the most popular jewelry styles for stretched earlobes and other stretched piercings. Depending on the design, there are various types of ear plugs. Smooth ones without flares have the same diameter from top to bottom. Those with one flare have one side smooth and another with a widened flare. There are also double flared ear plugs that have flares on both sides. Flares prevent the ear plug from slipping out of the piercing hole. In case you use a smooth ear plug without flares make sure to use O-rings to keep the plug in place.
How to Insert Ear Plugs?
Ear plugs are not difficult to insert, but you may need some practice. Smooth plugs without flares go in easily, but you need to keep them in place with the use of O-rings. Single flared plugs are easily inserted through the smooth side that goes on the back of the ear. However, if you use such a plug make sure to use an O-ring to keep the plug in place. Double flared plugs sometimes pose a bit of a challenge. To insert them without much trouble, make sure to use a bit of a lubricant to make the flare slip easily into the piercing hole. Also, make sure that your ear piercings are completely healed and properly stretched before you try to insert double flared ear plugs.

Recently, Siskiyou County Supervisor Michael Kobseff and county Natural Resource Policy Specialist Ric Costales made the nearly five-hour drive to Coos Bay, Ore. to watch partially developed salmon eggs being planted in the gravel of coastal streambeds. The trip was part of the county's effort to implement the same process in the Shasta River in an attempt to aid the recovery of coho salmon there.
Since the coho salmon was listed by the federal government as threatened in the southern Oregon and northern California coastal region in 1997, the fish has been a flashpoint in the water politics of the region and a driving force behind regulation and river restoration projects. Nearly five years ago – around the same time the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) declared coho to be "functionally extinct" in the Shasta River – the county learned of a process called eyed-egg injection and decided to lobby fish and wildlife agencies for permission to try the technique on the Shasta.
Eyed-egg injection is a process by which salmon eggs are incubated for several months in a hatchery (or other controlled setting) until the eggs begin to develop an eye – an indicator that the egg is within a few weeks of becoming a free swimming fish – and then taken to a stream and planted under gravel in the natural streambed where it will finish its development. The process was pioneered by fisheries biologists in Alaska as a method to help rebuild decimated fish populations, and has shown relatively high success rates there.
Salmon hatcheries have a long history on the west coast and a substantial impact on the genetics of its salmon populations. Conventional hatchery operations collect eggs and milt from returning hatchery fish, fertilize and incubate the eggs, then raise the juvenile fish in tanks or raceways until they are nearly ready to migrate downstream to the ocean which, for coho, takes nearly a year. Many biologists have alleged that this process not only concentrates a fish population's gene pool, eliminating healthy genetic diversity, but also robs the juveniles of survival skills necessary in the wild.
Proponents of eyed-egg injection say the technique retains the benefits of higher egg hatch rates through controlled incubation while allowing nature to play a vital role in gene and behavior selection – resulting in a stronger fish with higher odds of returning to natural streams to produce self-sustaining populations, provided that the in-stream habitat can support them.
Paul Merz, a veteran commercial salmon fisherman based in Coos Bay along with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) biologist Gary Vanderhoe began planting eyed eggs in Coos Bay tributaries for the first time this year. The project is one of many being undertaken as part of ODFW's Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (STEP), which has utilized volunteer efforts to bolster the agency's salmonid restoration efforts across the state since 1981. Merz has been a volunteer participant in the program since the beginning. As a fisherman who's livelihood depends on healthy salmon runs, he has chosen to take a hands-on approach to improving west coast salmon populations.
Past efforts
Merz says he has been in contact with officials in Siskiyou County for nearly five years and has made at least five visits to the county to collaborate on the local salmon supplementation efforts. After all, Merz says between 40 and 80 percent of the salmon harvest off the central Oregon coast is made up of fish from northern California rivers. He also worked on an effort a few years ago to implement an eyed-egg injection project for spring Chinook on Siskiyou County's Salmon River. That project was ultimately denied by state and federal biologists.
Current county efforts to implement the procedure on the Shasta River appear to have a better chance of acceptance by biologist and regulators. CDFW Director Charlton Bonham recently told the Daily News that he is impressed by the county's broad supplementation partnership with The Nature Conservancy, California Trout, the Siskiyou County Farm Bureau and the Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District. Bonham said the coalition's level of cooperation has given him hope that supplementation in the Shasta River can work.
In addition, the same coalition organized the Upper Klamath River Coho Salmon Workshop in February of 2012. The event held in Yreka brought together more than 50 prominent fisheries biologists, geneticists and restorationists to explore the idea of coho supplementation in the Shasta River and the upper Klamath. During the workshop's closing discussion, virtually all members of the panel agreed that – based on the imminent threat of complete extirpation of coho on the Shasta River – a supplementation program there would be justified.
While eyed-egg injection is only one method of salmon supplementation, Siskiyou County officials say they find it appealing because of its relatively low cost, simplicity of implementation and high rate of effectiveness in Alaska.
Planting the eggs
Kobseff and Costales began their visit to Coos Bay at the Noble Creek Hatchery where Merz explained how eggs were taken from wild coho, fertilized and then incubated. Merz and Vanderhoe then extracted the eggs from the hatch box where they had been incubating and placed them in a small cooler for travel to the injection sites.
Three miles from the hatchery, on Catching Slough, Costales volunteered to shoulder the gas powered backpack pump equipped with an intake hose to draw water from the creek, and an output hose connected to a length of metal pipe, open on one end, with a funnel on the other. The apparatus serves the dual purposes of pumping water into the streambed to blast out excess sand and sediment while acting as a funnel to direct the eggs 12 inches deep into the gravel. Kobseff carried the hoses and Merz carried the cooler full of 6,500 potential coho salmon while the crew hiked a mile upstream to find the best stretches of streambed.
When a potential site with suitable gravel was selected, the lower end of the metal pipe was worked down into the gravel while the backpack pump forced water into the streambed pushing the fine grain sediments out of the streambed, leaving the larger gravel in place. Once an area of approximately two feet in diameter had been cleaned of fine sediment, the bottom end of the pipe was inserted approximately 12 inches into the cleaned gravel. The pump was then shut off and salmon eggs were poured into the top funneled end of the pipe and directed down into the streambed. After the eggs had been planted, the crew used their hands to gather additional clean gravel and piled it lightly on top of the man-made redd (salmon nest) to provide additional protection for the eggs.
After the last batch of eggs was injected into the streambed the crew congratulated each other and expressed their hopes for the success of what they'd done. Merz said, because this is the first time this process has been used in Oregon, the only way to know the success rate of the project will be to look for the returning fish in two or three years when they will hopefully return to spawn.
Until then, Siskiyou County officials will be keeping their fingers crossed while they continue to lay the groundwork for their own goal of planting coho eggs in the Shasta River and hopefully, eventually, restoring healthy populations of the fish to Siskiyou County.

Recently, Siskiyou County Supervisor Michael Kobseff and county Natural Resource Policy Specialist Ric Costales made the nearly five-hour drive to Coos Bay, Ore. to watch partially developed salmon eggs being planted in the gravel of coastal streambeds.

After an extensive development period, the Syllable project has released Syllable Desktop 0.6.5 with improvements all over. As always there are bug fixes, most notably in USB and the network stack, leading to large reliability and performance improvements. LibUSB and SANE were ported, so there is now USB access from user space and support for scanners. There are new network and video drivers, including a unique S3 DeltaChrome driver that Arno Klenke wrote from scratch. Two new window decorators debut from John Aspras. CD burning ability is now integrated in the form of SimpleBurn and CDRTools. A new network preferences applet from Andrew Kennan was integrated, and also Arno Klenke's port of OpenBeFS. Many ports were upgraded and the system layout has been heavily reorganised. Files needed for compiling software have been split off in a separate package. This is also the release that harmonises a number of things between Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server. The full change log is here. Installation CDs, the upgrade, and images for emulators are here. Additional software can be found here.

New products introduced over the last week include a website to track master limited partnerships from MLP Data.
In addition, Advisors Asset Management and ISI teamed to launch a unit investment trust, and Litman Gregory started offering model portfolios to advisors.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) MLP Data Launches Content and Analytics Site to Track MLPs
MLP Data LLC has announced the launch of MLPData.com, its content and analytics site dedicated to providing investors with transparency in the publicly traded master limited partnership (MLP) market.
The site offers professionals and investors the ability to compare and analyze the total universe of MLPs by performance, distribution growth and distributable cash flow coverage; to review and select from among MLP funds by yield, performance and premium/discounts, as well as to follow the money flows of funds; track and monitor the real-time yield performance of private lists of funds and MLPs; and find interest rate sensitivity via graphs that indicate historical yields and spreads.
2) U.S. Manufacturing, Energy Growth Powers New Unit Investment Trust
Advisors Asset Management Inc. has teamed with International Strategy and Investment Inc., the money management arm of International Strategy and Investment Group LLC, to launch a unit investment trust (UIT), the American Renaissance Portfolio, Series 2013-1.
The UIT seeks to achieve above-average total return primarily through capital appreciation. ISI Inc. acts as the UIT's portfolio consultant, selecting stocks that have the potential to benefit from the firm's three "American Renaissance" economic growth drivers — resurgence and renewed competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing, U.S. energy independence resulting from growing production of low-cost energy, and favorable long-term labor costs and demographics.
3) Litman Gregory Offers Model Portfolios
Litman Gregory has announced that it is now offering its proprietary active-core/opportunistic-satellite model portfolios to advisors through Placemark Investments. The model portfolios are available through Placemark's unified managed account platform, UMA Marketplace.
Advisors have access to four distinct risk-managed global portfolio strategies, each using the Litman Gregory Masters Funds as actively managed core equity and alternative strategies holdings. As portfolio strategist, Litman Gregory will pursue tactical opportunities to add returns, make ongoing risk management decisions, and adjust manager exposure as needed. The models are offered to advisors with no additional strategist fee.

Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set.
Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player's actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player's "real" autograph.
Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets.
Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers.
Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.
Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.
Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player.
Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.
Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.
HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.
Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike.
Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1963 Fleer BaseballIn an attempt by Fleer to circumvent Topps exclusive rights to baseball cards, Fleer issued their 1963 baseball cards with cookies instead of gum. It is commonly thought that the 1963 Fleer baseball card issue was intended to be a much larger set issued in multiple series but Topps sued Fleer after their first series was released stopping further production. Due to Topps deep pockets Fleer soon pulled the set from the market and cancelled their plans for the remaining series leaving this very, very popular set at just 66 cards plus one unnumbered checklist.
But what a 66 cards !!! The 1963 Fleer Cards are attractive and feature an extremely high percentage of stars. Some of the top stars in the 1963 Fleer baseball card set are Brooks Robinson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale and Warren Spahn.. The set also included 2 very scare Short Prints, Joe Adcock and an unnumbered checklist.
The most interesting card in this set is the Maury Wills Rookie card. Even though Wills started his major league career with the Dodgers way back in 1959 quickly becoming a superstar, his 1963 Fleer card is considered his rookie card ! How is this possible ? Well, back in 1959, 1960 and 1961, Topps did not consider Wills worthy enough to have a baseball card.
As hobby lore has it: Needless to say, Wills was very upset at this slight from Topps. After Wills won the 1962 N.L. MVP award, Topps quickly came a courting but Wills answered with a large "NO". From 1961 thru 1966, Wills prevented Topps from making any of his baseball cards. Wills and Topps finally made up making his 1967 Topps high number short print his first Topps card and also his most expensive card. Adding interest to the Wills baseball card story, Post Cereal released a Maury Wills card in their 1962 set making that the earliest Maury Wills rookie card. Wills was also pictured on a special 1960 Topps card featuring the 1959 World Series. The card features Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base with Wills pictured trying to make the tag.
Much of the above is true but Wills has said there was no "fued" with Topps and that he simply had signed exclusive agreements with Fleer.

Treat your sweetheart to a special Valentine's weekend with tickets to a one-night-only performance by the legendary vocal group The Lettermen on Friday, Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m. This performance will be held at Missouri S&T University's Leach Theatre.
The Lettermen first came together as a vocal group in the late 1950s, bringing their own unique style to the burgeoning music scene of the era, with a sound crossed between the big band vocal groups such as the Modernaires, Pied Pipers and Mills Brothers, and the early R&B rock groups such as the Flamingos and the Platters.
In a musical career spanning five decades, The Lettermen have released 32 albums, received 18 gold records worldwide, and recorded scores of top singles, including "The Way You Look Tonight ," "When I Fall In Love," "Theme From A Summer Place," "Hurt So Bad," and "Goin' Out Of My Head / Can't Take My Eyes Off You."
The Lettermen's current lineup includes original and founding member Tony Butala and long-time members Donovan Tea and Bobby Poynton.
Tickets for this special event are $25 for adults, $15 for youth 18 and under, and $10 for Missouri S&T students. Tickets may be purchased online at leachtheatre.mst.edu or from the Leach Theatre Box Office, located inside the main entrance of Castleman Hall, facing 10th street. Box office hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 573-341-4219 for more information.
Leach Theatre will offer discounted tickets through its Back Row Club one hour prior to the event, should tickets remain for the show. The seats in the last row of the theater will be sold for $10 each prior to the performance.
This performance is part of the Leach Theatre Special Events Series and is sponsored in part by FCNB Financial and The Rolla Daily News.

Funny thing about the anti-gay intolerance.. At work I share an office with a highly educated gay woman who is nearing retirement. She has told me stories about having to deal with prejudice and coming out of the closet. Yet when a current event came into the discussion that mentioned atheists, she let go a theistic tirade. She doesn't know I'm atheist. So being part of a victimized group doesn't slow some down when they get the chance to victimize. Though, personally I think religion is so very very stupid, it doesn't hurt me inside at all I just quietly laugh.
When I first came to this forum last summer, I was in crisis. Due to my deconversion, I found myself in the middle of a deep depression where I would drag myself through my day, and I had such a hard time getting much sleep. You guys were here for me. The members of my (former) megachurch had convinced me that life away from Christ was desolate, empty agony.
I even believed at one point that I would rather die than give up God. However, upon conversing with some of you, I realized that it was possible to live a fulfilling life without any kind of god at the center of it.
Today, I am a much healthier person, physically and psychologically. I lost 10 lbs (yay!) because I was able to stop abusing my body from eating too much junk food (as a Christian I had thought that only the afterlife truly matters). I was able to deal with my depression and anxiety (runs in my family, and was triggered by childhood abuse that I suffered) without any medication anymore by taking control of my own life.
No longer did I have to deal with the intense pressures and worries of trying to fit into the mold of "God's plan" or "God's will," so I was able to just be myself and figure out how to be comfortable in my own skin. I realized that although I love taking care of my husband and son at home,
that I did not have to limit myself just because I am female, so I went back to school.
In retrospect, I realize how much Christianity truly hurt me throughout my childhood and early adulthood. It limits your potential to grow emotionally, intellectually and socially as a human being due to its prejudices and traditions. Atheism did not turn me into a devil-worshipping, baby-eating witch. Honestly, I have more mental clarity as an atheist than I ever did as a Christian.
I think the world would be a much more loving and fair place if there were less Christians in it.
Although I have reached a point where I am not angry at Christians or threatened by them unless they get in my face, I do think that, ironically, the words of Jesus actually apply to them: "they know not what they do." A Christian has to cherry-pick Bible verses and be (at least somewhat willfully) ignorant of ones that do not make sense in the real world. That being said, I do generally have compassion for them (unless they pick a fight or do something outrageous or unfair) because they are like fearful children clinging to their belief in Santa Claus. I do not say that in spite, because I feel a great sense of peace regarding my deconversion, and my bitterness toward Christians has faded. I will, however, express my disgust for that fictional character called "God," and anyone who does terrible things in his name.
The Meaning of LifeNo, I have no secrets. If there were an all powerful supernatural being, would you want the meaning of your life to be to glorify such an, apparently egotistical, being? I give you your own purpose, make it up.Life means whatever you want it to mean. I you think it is meaningful to be a kindergarten teacher, be one.If you believe in God and your purpose is to spread his message, then do that. You might help a few down and out people. You have at least proved there is altruism in man.If you believe your goal is to seek truths, then seek truths. Record progress, so that someone else can continue your work.If your goal is to raise a few kids to be good citizens, do that.We ourselves provide meaning for our lives. If you alone can't do it, form relationships with other people. But, in general, nobody else will do it for you.Life is here. Enjoy it, this is not just a waiting room, and probably this is all there is.Have fun.
I have a longer bit, but here is my 2008 blog on Meaning.The Meaning of Life[snip]If you believe in God and your purpose is to spread his message, then do that. You might help a few down and out people. You have at least proved there is altruism in man.
This would be true if your experience were universal. It isn't.Truth is, there are lots of very informed Christians who lives very fullfilling lives and some of their women are even successful.
cg- Have you come across where does your moral standard come from question yet? And if so how did you respond?
Ricky, let me give you an example of the backwardness of my former church. They said that you HAVE to obey your husband (as long as his commands don't contradict Scripture). That means if he says no school or work, the wife can forget about being outside the home. If he says to be pregnant, she is supposed to either pray to God to change his mind, or she has to get pregnant.I was lucky that my husband deconverted before me, and he is not the type to order me around anyway. I am happy that he views me as an equal. However, I had been so brainwashed as a Christian that I still thought that being a subservient housewife was the best thing in God's eyes.Also, other women are not so lucky. The church tells them that if their husbands are cruel, or addicts or abusive, to pray for them but not to divorce them. So many women endure years of psychological and/or physical abuse because they are taught that they can only divorce if their husband cheats on them or deserts them.
Well, the scary thing about my former church is that members tried to dress stylishly and put up a front that they are cool because they can be into some modern trends (social networking, imitating popular styles of music to make Christian songs for services) but underneath it all they follow archaic Biblical teachings like what I mentioned in my earlier post.
No, Ricky, I think you missed my point. While I did not claim that all the women were barefoot and pregnant, I did mention that the women were taught to obey their husbands (if they were married).
The unmarried women had more jobs and independence, but they were told not to have sex AT ALL until they were married.
So there were women who wanted to stay unmarried into their 40s and 50s, but they complained that they had not had sex in years.
Many other women who chose love and sex got married and lost their independence. A lot of the wives stayed at home and had kids because they felt that God wanted them to or because their husbands wanted them to.
Ricky, my husband certainly did deconvert before me, and it initially strained our marriage.
For some women, waiting for sex until marriage works. For many, it does not because they want to be sure that they are sexually compatible with someone before they are married.
Also, for some it takes years to find the right spouse and they would rather just have sex with a boyfriend until they are sure he is "the one".

Here is Anna at her most relaxed. Nude at the water's edge. She is so completely at ease in her setting. It's as though she has the whole world to herself.
Yet she is on a public beach where anyone may pass by. If it is their lucky day. The whole scene holds its breath to admire her. The sea washes over her petite ass as though kissing her. She offers up her body to the sun and lets her sensuality take over.
In the early morning light she oils her breasts and legs. Then she curls up to bask in the warmth. This is the chance the camera has waited for to catch those extra-special close-ups.

Conspiracy indictment brings 18 months in prison and 2 years probation.
The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, announced that Timothy William Hess, 43, of Tahlequah, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, followed by 2 years of supervised release for Conspiracy..
The charge arose from an investigation by the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
The defendant was indicted in August, 2012 along with Darren Glen Howard, 21, Hulbert.
The indictment alleged beginning on an unknown date and time but at least as early as October 25, 2011, and continuing through Dec. 15, 2011, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the defendants, did knowingly and intentionally conspire, confederate and agree with each other, and others to knowingly possess a firearm that had traveled in interstate commerce with reasonable cause to know the firearm was stolen.
The investigation revealed that on about Oct. 25, 2011, Howard went to Remington Valley Storage Units located in Tahlequah, and proceeded to cut off the lock of a storage unit and removed a gun safe containing firearms. At an unknown date and time, but no later than Dec. 15, 2011, Hess came into possession of those same firearms and then sold those firearms, to a Confidential Informant.
The Honorable Kimberly E. West, Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over today's hearing. The defendant was ordered to report to the Bureau of Prisons, by noon on May 9, 2013 to begin serving his nonparolable sentence.

On June 28, 2005, four Navy SEALs scouted terrorist Ahmad Shah in Afghanistan.
The mission was compromised when locals spotted the group, and a force of at least 50 enemy troops surrounded the men on three sides.
Trying to make contact with headquarters, Michael Murphy exposed himself to transmit the call. While being fired on, Murphy contacted Bagram Air Base, provided the unit's location and size of the enemy attack. He and two other SEALs eventually died from injuries, and 16 additional troops were killed in a helicopter sent to extract the four SEALs, but Murphy's act saved the fourth SEAL, Marcus Luttrel.
On Memorial Day, sailors on the U.S.S. Michael Murphy will remember him and honor other servicemen and women by running a satellite Bolder Boulder at Hickam Air Force Base on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
U.S.S. Michael Murphy Command Master Chief Matthew Danforth said he and others on the ship were honored that people in Boulder thought of the ship on Memorial Day.
"I want to thank them for their patriotism," Danforth said. "It's not the norm for us to feel honored and to be thanked. This is one way that the people of Boulder are thanking us by asking us to participate in this. To see such patriotism is overwhelming at times."
On that 2005 day in Afghanistan, Coloradan Danny Dietz was another of the four SEALs killed by enemy forces. A statue of Dietz now sits at Berry Park in his hometown of Littleton.
U.S.S. Michael Murphy sailors will be running for Dietz, too, Danforth said.
"We honor all the men who lost their lives that day," Danforth said.
The ship is undergoing some repairs and upgrades, so instead of running on deck, the 80 runners will run on land along the harbor.
In Boulder, race organizer Cliff Bosley said race staff boxed up 3,000 T-shirts and bib numbers to send to the various satellite races this year. Kids from the Bolder Boulder racers program wrote letters to the servicemen and women, which Bosley sent along with a letter for University of Colorado President Bruce Benson.
"For those servicemen and women who cannot be at the Bolder Boulder because they're deployed overseas, it's a nice extension that they can run a Bolder Boulder somewhere in the Middle East or elsewhere on the same day and have that experience," Bosley said. "It's a connection back to the U.S., and it is a morale-building experience."
Command career counselor Adam Lubbock, who joined the Navy in 2003 out of Visalia, Calif., said it's not often he and other sailors reflect on what they're doing for the country.
"(Memorial Day) gives you a chance to reflect and think about what you do on a daily basis, and those who have before you and have sacrificed," Lubbock said. "You think about how thankful you are for those people to be able to walk the streets every day."
Kayla Johnson grew up down the street from the U.S. Naval Academy in Maryland. She'd never really considered joining the Navy until one day in high school, she woke up and decided she wanted to serve.
She's the ship's training officer, and though she's a swimmer by nature, 25-year-old Johnson said she's been trying to run more and more.
"We're all really thrilled," she said. "I've never experienced something like this before. A bunch of us are excited the (Bolder Boulder) included us and we're able to be a part of what they're doing even though we're so far away."

This promotion has concluded.
After years of flips, drops, skinned knees, and a broken bone or two, this year you finally achieved that Tony Hawk signature trick you have been attempting since watching the 1999 X-Games. Too bad there was nobody there to witness it. Next time, record the action from your point-of-view with an action camera like the XS20 from Polaroid ($100).
Snap this small cam onto your helmet or strap it to your arm or leg, and then start recording those daredevil moves in high-definition 720p resolution at 30 frames per second. At less than 3 ounces, the weight won't bog you down (it only looks big in the photo). The 5-megapixel camera takes still photos, too, and a waterproof housing means you can take it into the water or down the slopes. It has a 120-degree viewing angle, and the built-in battery allows for up to 3 hours of recording. The eight LED lights lets you keep filming even after the sun sets. Not into thrills? Use the XS20 as a security camera. It starts recording automatically when it detects motion.
You'll need one of these cams if you want to start posting videos of your stunts to YouTube, and we have one waiting for one lucky winner. To enter, simply tell us an upcoming adventure that you would love to use this camera for (keep it clean, folks).

Describing some of the tactics and exercises used to catch steelhead trout in the late winter/early spring.
I have been known to say that I would walk a mile for a fish. I have recently amended this to state that I would walk five miles for a steelhead! On a recent fishing trip with my brother Brad, we found that the best tactic to hook one of these spring bruisers. We began having luck when we stopped casting our spawn upstream and letting it drift down past us. We began casting straight out from the shore and then walking down stream adjacent to our floating bait until it was taken by a fish. This process of walking down while floating our bait and then walking back up stream to begin the process again WORE ME OUT!
The fish are brutally strong this time of year and hooking into one of these beauties was exillerating to say the least. I hooked many more fish than I landed but I am not upset. The fish deserve to win the battle every once in a while. The steelhead season is just about to bust wide open and fishing should be picking up and hitting a peak in the next few weeks in Michigan. I will be focusing most of my outdoor time on this fish from now until mid/late April.

Todd explains six unique ways of dying your eggs this year, plus a bonus technique for turning your Easter eggs into nonlethal weaponry.
So it's that time of year again when I get this strange but compelling urge to transform a perfectly fine carton of eggs into an art project.
Much like eating a whole pint of Chubby Hubby in one sitting, what seemed like such fun at first ends up as a bit of a letdown. I'll be standing in the kitchen in front of nine styrofoam cups of color dye with an absurdly ineffective Paas wire egg dipper in hand, wondering why nothing seems as cool as I remembered.Big Bird never looked so small.
Thankfully, others apparently decided this problem needed solving and developed some marvelously creative alternate dying techniques. A little research yielded some fantastic ideas that I'd like to share with you. If we applied the same level of ingenuity to cancer research that we do to making chicken ovum sparkle, my grandfather would still be alive today.
By the way, I'm drawing the line at anything that involves directly decorating the surface, like puffy paint, glitter, stickers, markers, pipe cleaners or decoupage. There's certainly a place for that, but I prefer to stick to canon, which dictates that eggs must be dyed and not have things applied to them like a second-grade craft project.
The "Oh yeeeeah" Method
Perhaps you really want to celebrate the season but balk at paying a lousy $1.50 for your standard Paas Egg Dying Kit. Just wander down your favorite powdered drink product aisle and pick up a few different colors of Kool-Aid. Or Flavor Aid if you're a real cheap-ass. Easter is egalitarian.
The Earth-Friendly Method
If the thought of applying artificial dyes to your organic eggs gets your hemp panties in a wad, you can instead head to the produce section and spend a good deal of money on dyes that will give them more subdued earth tones, which would look great arranged in your Birkenstocks.
The Patrick Nagel Method
Rubber bands, electrical tape, stickers, your sister's ponytail holders…I have no objection to sticking things to the eggs during the dying process as long as they're removed when it's done. You can get some pretty cool effects this way, which is why even Paas includes a wax crayon in every kit.
The Barbasol Method
This is a new one this year, and pretty ingenious at that. Just swirl some colors in shaving cream, roll the egg in it, and let it sit for a while before wiping it off. I'd probably use human blood, which is what ends up in my shaving cream anyway.
The Grateful Dead Method
Definitely doing this tomorrow. It seems to work equally well with paper towels as with cheesecloth. You and I are going to use paper towels because what the hell is cheesecloth?
The Tie Dyed Method
Not to be confused with the previous post, this beats them all. Major props are in order for whoever came up with this method, because it doesn't even look like it should work. I would do this myself, except my eggs would end up looking incredibly outdated.
This would be a lazy post indeed if I didn't contribute a favorite childhood Easer project of my own to the mix. So once you've dyed your (raw) eggs using your favorite method, it's time to transform them into mini pinatas for your head. Here's how:
1) Blow your eggs hollow. You're not going to learn how to blow anything on this blog, but a quick YouTube search should show you how.
2) Dry them out in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
3) Widen one of the holes to accommodate a small, dry funnel.
4) Fill the egg with paper confetti - the kind that looks like someone went crazy with a hole punch.
5) Seal the large hole with a piece of Scotch tape.
Now load up a basket, run outside with your cache and smash them on your grandmother's skull, just as Jesus once did. Happy Easter, folks.

Haven't seen a thread about this yet, but how much better was the play calling yesterday compared to the prior 4 games? I was very happy. I think I only thought there were one or two strange calls, and the majority of the time I was damn happy with the calls.
Anyway, my point is that I think we were all beating up on Bevell a bit much earlier this season, and while I'm sure PC had his reasons for handcuffing the playcalling, I am really glad that they are lightening up a bit. Here is to an even better game against the Patriots!!!

WASHINGTON – It's like a giant game of wait-and-see, but with millions of dollars of federal funding on the line for Colorado.
As Congress scrambles to avert automatic spending cuts, called sequestration, before they take effect Friday, local organizations and officials are left wondering how they can prepare for something that was never supposed to happen in the first place.
The sequester, first passed through the Budget Control Act of 2011, was intended to force the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to make a deal that would cut $1.5 trillion from the federal budget throughout 10 years.
If the committee didn't do that by its deadline, automatic cuts would begin – cuts so massive, the committee would surely act to avoid them.
But it didn't.
"The sequester was never intended to be policy," said Amy Brundage, deputy White House press secretary for the economy, in a conference call with reporters Monday. "These cuts were never intended to be policy, and they shouldn't happen."
And now, $85 billion stands to be slashed nationwide this fiscal year – evenly divided between domestic and defense programs – starting Friday.
In Colorado, $90 million could be cut from nondefense programs this fiscal year, said Eric Brown, a spokesman for Gov. John Hickenlooper. The state also could see an $810 million economic impact from defense-related cuts this fiscal year, Brown said in an email.
Ripple effects
Locally, the Durango-La Plata County Airport, local school districts, Fort Lewis College and Mesa Verde National Park are just some of many organizations that could see their coffers diminished beginning Friday.
But until that happens – or if Congress stops it from happening – there's not much officials can do.
"We have not made any contingency plans yet," said Ron LeBlanc, Durango's city manager. "Until we get further information, it's fruitless."
For Durango, federal funding plays a large role in local transportation, LeBlanc said. The Durango-La Plata County Airport and the city's public transit system gets the majority of its funding from federal agencies, he said.
The airport is operating normally, according to Gary Suiter, interim director of aviation, until officials hear otherwise from the federal government.
Other parts of the city also could take hits.
"We work closely with the Forestry Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, on a variety of properties and programs," LeBlanc said. "I don't know how they're going to be affected. In turn, they can't tell me what it's going to mean for the city."
On the county level, La Plata County might be forced to reduce staffing – which would limit the services it can provide, said Lezlie Mayer, the county's director of human services.
"Just a reduction in staff would mean a reduction in programs," she said.
But no sequestration-specific plans for the county have been made, she added.
In neighboring Montezuma County, Mesa Verde National Park could see its budget down by $321,000 in this fiscal year, according to the Cortez Journal, as part of cuts to the National Park Service.
Betty Lieurance, public information officer at Mesa Verde, told The Durango Herald shorter winter hours could be kept in place during summer and fewer tours might be offered.
Lori Montgomery, Bureau of Land Management district manager for Southwest Colorado, said it's too early to identify cuts for public-lands funding.
"Right now, we don't have anything," she said
Throughout Colorado, about 1,170 fewer low-income students would receive aid for college, and about 430 fewer students would get work-study jobs, according to the White House website.
But Fort Lewis College – which receives several million dollars in federal grants – still can't get ready for that, said spokesman Mitch Davis.
"At this point, it's hard for us to prepare for anything," he said. "We're kind of waiting to see what happens."
"It certainly wouldn't be a good thing for Fort Lewis College," he said.
Local school districts also could be affected, particularly in terms of federal funding for special education, free and reduced lunches, and other programs.
The state could lose about $8.4 million in primary- and secondary-education funding, according to White House estimates, which would put 120 teacher and aide jobs in jeopardy. Colorado also might lose an additional $8.1 million allocated for students with disabilities.
"I think everybody's kind of hoping for a best-case scenario," said Durango School District Chief Financial Officer Laine Gibson.
The district received $1,836,710 in federal funding in fiscal year 2011-12, with $750,000 to $755,000 allocated for free and reduced lunches, Gibson said.
"I don't think we let students go hungry," he said.
Officials in the Montezuma-Cortez School District face the same problems, but the district already is having preliminary discussions about potential cuts.
"It's going to be really a crushing blow when this goes through," said Superintendent Alex Carter. "We really rely hugely on federal grants."
The Ignacio School District could be affected "to the tune of $43,000" if the cuts go through, according to Annie Gunderson, the district's finance director.
The district relies on impact aid, which is financial assistance for schools that are on federal land and therefore cannot collect property-tax revenue.
"It helps us tremendously," Superintendent Rocco Fuschetto. "It's why we're able to provide some of the services we're providing is because we get extra help from the federal government."
The sequester cuts were originally slated to begin at the start of 2013, but lawmakers changed the deadline to March 1.
The White House has released state-by-state impact estimates this week, in an effort to pressure Congress.
"There's a fair amount of scare tactics being put in place," said Josh Green, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez.
Tipton and Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., voted against the fiscal cliff legislation. The Colorado lawmakers both had said they wanted legislation to address spending reform and deficit reduction.
"The sequester is not good policy and would be damaging to Colorado and the economy," said Bennet spokesman Adam Bozzi in an email.
