(Indianapolis, IN) – Specialty Coating Systems (SCS) announced today the launch of the Omegameter SMD 650, the next-generation, software-controlled Omegameter ionic contamination test system.
A self-contained system, the Omegameter is an industry standard for accurate, efficient and practical quality assurance testing. The system identifies the presence of ionic contamination on bare and assembled printed circuit boards and other electronic components, and provides an accurate and repeatable method for determining cleanliness on location. Additionally, the Omegameter provides immediate process control results, eliminating the need for outside laboratory testing, and verifies proper cleanliness of surfaces prior to the application of conformal coatings or potting compounds. The system complies with current industrial specifications such as ANSI/J-STD-001 and IPC-TM-650, and obsolete military specifications, e.g. MIL-STD-2000A.
The Omegameter SMD 650 features several enhancements to previous model Omegameters, including:
The first static test system on the market, the SCS Omegameter has a long history of being an accurate, effective and practical quality assurance tool. The Omegameter SMD 650 continues this strong product legacy as the most trusted name in the industry, and the preferred choice for ionic testing using the "static test" methodology.
To find out more about the Omegameter SMD 650, contact the company at +1.317.244.1200 or visit www.SCSequip.com.

And for me to gain 4 kg in 4 weeks is quite a feat I have to say. I run 8 km a day! That is a lot of burnt calories right there.
So how did I undertake this dubious achievement?
Well, my diet is a little limited, well, as far as I am concerned it is. I have to avoid sugar pretty much entirely, and have no carbs at dinner for the same reason. But I am a girl who likes to eat. I like a big plate of food. And seeing as I also cook a separate meal for my own family, I pretty much find a simple dish that I love, and then make it every day till I lose interest.
I made stir fry for half a year, then moved on to veggies in a satay sauce. Soooooo over both those dishes now!
And then I fell in love with cheese sauce. Veggies in cheese sauce.
I ended up doing fozen green beens as the veggies most of the time. Why?
1. I am lazy.
2. They are cheap.
3. They are filling.
Anyways the veggies are not what this post is about. What gained me the weight was the sauce.
Here is that recipe, which I made off the top of my head using the foundation of a basic white sauce.
5 tbsp butter
5 tbsp flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 milk
1/2 cream (heck, get creative, sometimes I made this baby on straight cream!)
3 cups grated cheese of choice ( I use 2 3/4 cups tasty cheese and make up the rest in parmesan.)
*Heat oven to 200 (celcius)
*Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir over lowish heat for at least four minutes to lose the floury taste. The flour should resemble breadcrumbs.
*Pour in the milk and cream, the salt and pepper. Stir regularly over heat till the sauce thickens. *Add more milk or cream to preference of thickness. I like thick.
*Throw all but 1/2 cup of cheese into the sauce and remove from heat. Stir through until melted and combined.
*Add cooked drained vegies to the pan and stir through. Pour out into greased pie dish. (do not soak saucepan.
While you are waiting for your dinner to cook, take your pointer finger and scrape that saucepan clean.
*Sprinkle over the remainder of the cheese and put in the oven. Keep in about 15 or till brown on top.
*Eat while squeeing with delight and thanking me from the bottom of your hearts.
Serves 1. Yup, I ate the entire thing all by myself. (To gain the desired weight, eat daily. 🙂 I have to say, I now only eat this dish but once a month. 🙂0

FLDS Prophet Warren Jeffs may be serving life in prison, but his followers continue with their work on the YFZ Ranch near Eldorado, Texas where the group's white limestone Temple towers over the town they are building. Polygamy, the practice of plural marriage, appears to be alive and well in the Lone Star State, despite laws to the contrary.

I do not own this blog!
I am one of several who long ago was given the ability by unknown administrator(s) to start new threads. That is all I can do besides post comments like everyone else. However, I seem to be the only one of those several who has done that lately. And I've done so just to keep this blog from going into rigor mortis. It was once fun and lively.
I only lurk here occasionally when my email shows activity from posters other than Ruth and Street. I do not have the ability to ban anyone or delete any posts (except my own).
Here is my previous introduction to our March thread:
Have heard rumors that Warren/Lyle will have excommunicated many by today (1st of March).
True? or Not?
Lyle? Only you have the power to stop the insanity. Just stand up, be a real man, and do it! What kind of father's son are you?
Play your brother's Purgatory confessions and explain the subsequent coverup. Don't you understand by now that your very life depends on it?

It's worthwhile, I think, to start out the new year with a good review of this past year written by Matthew Waller for the San Angelo Standard Times.
FLDS: Following a 'prophet'
Emerging now are portentous stories (December 31st) about the illegal removal of young girls from their parents in Short Creek.
"Parents that have dropped off their girls for interviews, they go to pick them up and the girls have been sent off to a 'safe place of refuge' is what they're being told," said Tonia Tewell, the executive director of the group Holding Out Help. "And the families haven't been deemed worthy or unworthy yet. But they have no idea where their children are disappearing to."
Any of you who travel to or through or live there, please give us your thoughts about what you're seeing there in those tyrannized twin towns of Colorado City/Hildale.
In the meantime, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

November / December 2011
Speaking of spooky:
Warren Jeffs is in jail for the rest of his unnatural life; Wendell Nielsen pleaded no contest to bigamy last week -- was sentenced to ten years probation; Leroy J. Steed also pleaded no contest to two counts of sexual assault of a child -- was promptly whisked off to start serving his sentence of seven years in jail; and Merril Jessop is currently on trial in Texas.
Rumors continue to swirl that more people are being exed and/or leaving on their own. Who? When? Is Uncle Will's congregation in the Creek growing? Where is Uncle Lyle? How are people dealing with their prophet's incarceration? And what about that rumored statue?
I would really enjoy anyone sharing their impressions of the general attitude in Short Creek. And, of course, any current news would be welcome. Let's revive this blog! Anonymity guaranteed.

What else is going on this fall? I miss Harvest Festival. I like the feeling of community and togetherness it brought to have the entire town (and people from SLC and Canada) join the festivities for three days.
Other than that, the fall makes me strangely melancholy. I don't know why? maybe because it is the end of summer?
Anyway, what are you people up to?
Thoughts anyone?

Summer 2011
I heard they did a picnic at Maxwell for "Uncle" Roy's birthday. I really wanted to make it but I had to work instead. Remember how much fun we used to have during the summer? There were so many things going on: the twenty fourth of July parade where all the business in town would make floats and throw candy to the kids, "Uncle" Roy's birthday where we would all eat watermelon and ride the train at Cottonwood Park, The fourth of July celebration where we would have the flag raising ceremony at the meeting house and then walk to breakfast at Cottonwood Park and the dance and fireworks that night....
So many things have changed :)

- Upcoming pretrials and jury trials for Wendell Nielsen and Warren Jeffs - who's next?
- Stealing and burning books in Short Creek - why?
- Competition for FLDS Corporation presidency - isn't it taking a long time to render that decision?
- $2,000 required from faithful elders - bleeding the sheep as well as the beast?
- What else?
- Keeping Sweet?

The New Colorado City
Will the judge sell all the homes and land in Colorado city and Bountiful Canada piece by piece until it is owned by anybody? I doubt very few of the FLDS could afford to buy their own homes. At the same time I honestly wish they would get over their stubbornness and realize that $100.00 a month payment is nothing compared to the $700.00 to $1200.00 mortgage payments the rest of us make.
FOR SALE!!! POLYGVILLE!!! Going once....going twice....
I should have a little more sympathy, maybe. I am wondering what will happen to my family and hope they will be OK. But at the same time I can't help but saying it's going to be pretty hard for the FLDS if they all have to move to rent some place in Hurricane.
People in Hurricane, beware! The polygs are coming! The polygs are coming! lol.

how polygamy might work
Lets start with monogamy, defined as: two people in a relationship. Lets define success of this relationship: by the degree of satisfaction experienced by the people involved in this relationship. Now this satisfaction * will continue as long the characteristics of the two people remain compatible. let's now begin to add more people to the relationship. With each person added, the chances of mutual compatibility are lowered dramatically. So in order for a degree of satisfaction to exist , sufficient to hold this relationship together, there must be another element added that will outweigh the incompatibilities of the participants . This can be a common goal desired by all, such as survival, a political ideology, a religion or a mutual effort to acquire wealth etc. as long as the participants find sufficient satisfaction in progress toward this common goal, the relationship will likely hold together. I have seen some, though a very few polygamous relationships last because of mutual compatibility, however most of those that fail, are do to a loss of faith in the common goal. So as long as the participants continue to believe they are attaining what they believe they want through this relationship, there satisfaction will likely keep them there.
*I first used the word "happiness" here, but quickly realized that the word "satisfaction" was far more appropriate. there is a huge difference between happiness and satisfaction.

Do you have any idea of what is going on? i will use a story from past history.
Joseph Stalin was asked once by a news reporter as he was at a restaurant:
"Mr. Stalin, if you continue to mistreat your people, how long do you expect them to continue following you? Are you not concern they will revolt?
Joseph Stalin asked for a live chicken be brought to him. As he held the chicken with one hand against himself with the other he started defeathering the live chicken. The chicken clut and wiggle to try to get away from him but it could not. he continue the defeathering until the live chicken was completely defeathered. After this he put it down and grab a piece of bread from the table where he had been eating and held it in his hand and the chicken approached near to him to be able to eat some of the bread. Joseph Stalin started to move away from the chicken and the chicken continue to follow him as he moved. He turned to the reporter and said do you have any questions?

Welfare Fraud Disclaimed
I would post the link, but instead refer you all the the Salt Lake Tribune home page. Just click on 'News' then polygamy and the article will be there.
Thoughts anyone?
My personal opinion on the subject is:
1- I am glad it is being shown that not all the people there blatantly abuse the system. My ex- father-in-law is among those who don't.
2-but there ARE those who do and we all know it. My own sister used to be one of them.
3-it really galls me that good women like Caroline Jessop get the public anger over this.
4- I don't really think the records of the past two years count because during the past two years, a good percent of the FLDS people have been living elsewhere. If a true analysis were to be considered, the state should dig into their records of when the full force of the community was resident in Colorado City. Like the years 2002-2003 when all the FLDS from Salt Lake City were living there as well as the original Colorado City residents. THEN compare that data to the average state data and THAT would be an accurate picture of the FLDS lifestyle and dependence on the government systems.

Linda Holm Funeral
LeGrand Barlow's child was killed in a accident two weeks ago and a funeral was held for her. I just heard mention that it was Rosies child and was 17 months old.
Tho there are those that feel it sacriligious to mention any thing else on a funeral tab, I get to anyway.
I understand the FLD people were told that everyone that stole a house on the UEP was going to have to leave and I understand they are doing everything in their power to make it happen. I was told that I am in that category, despite the fact that we built our house, we stole it back ( in the FLDS eyes) My opinion is that anyone that built a house on the UEP is entitled to their house.

It's my belief, that the cure for ignorance, is curiosity .
" Curious; eager for information; inquisitive ; prying"…
One of the primary tools of the tyrant, is the suppression of curiosity , so, if you want knowledge, get curious. It is the first step in overthrowing tyranny .

And , does it make sense that an omnipotent creator would be so incompetent that the vast majority of his creations, that he chose to make in his own image, should be so defective as to render them unacceptable?
Or would it make more sense that ; because the defining feature that separates Man from the rest of his creatures is the ability to reason; that his plan to bring mankind to maturity would be one of interaction with others? And wouldn't the interaction with many different kinds of people enhance your ability to reason?
It seems to me that limiting your experience would limit your intelligence.

if the people indicted are imprisoned, will it end all the alleged misconduct among the Flds?

Texas Governor Rick Perry said -- he hopes state law enforcement officials and prosecutors "continue to send the message" to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that child sexual abuse won't be tolerated.
Mr. Perry warned sect members that "if you are going to conduct yourself that way, we are going to prosecute you. If you don't want to be prosecuted for those activities, then maybe Texas is not the place you need to consider calling home."
Thank You, Guv! I couldn't have said it better myself.

Eldorado YFZ is Expanding
These are the newest pics I have of FLDS in Eldorado. I had to compress them a little because I posted well over 150. Its been a while so I thought I would give you a treat. There is much activity at the YFZ ranch. This place is becoming quite a little town! The sewer is expanding rapidly. FLDS are working diligently trying to get it finished. Five more houses have been built( since November photos) due east of temple, a new guard house, completion of potato warehouse ( so we were told), and pivot irrigation fields have been expanded. There are definitely more people at the YFZ or at least more trucks. You have to give them credit for their incredible engineering and building skills.
Why or Why not should Polygamy be Lived?
I would have to say my opinion on the subject of polygamy is divided. Having once experiences it with bad results I am never going to do it again. But I know that there are people who live it and experience mostly good results- and I do not want to take that away from them. If people want live polygamy and can do so without hurting anyone I say they should. I also think polygamy should be legalized.

Colorado City Library needs books
This library was situated in the middle of town with a small park around it. It was where everyone gathered in the fateful day in 53 when the government raided the town. It is also where the historic marker was put by the Barlow Brothers in commemoration of that Raid, that sparked Warrens wrath and kicked all of them out of town. Since 2003, there has been no library in town.

UEP $100.00 monthly fee
Supposedly if this fee is not paid for three consecutive months, another family will be assigned to live in the residence.
I wonder if the families are still receiving a monthly "donation" bill which they pay the FLDS church on top of the UEP fee? I wonder if Mr. Wisan tells them to move if they will do it or stubbornly remain in defiance until they are bodily evicted by the authorities. I wonder if he will even be able to FIND authorities who will do it.
And, I am worried about my family and my extended family.

Ross LeBaron Accused by Sons of Incest
Laurie was alienated from Ross' family for the last 18 years, since they considered her an apostate. Although she helped raise many of the children in very harsh conditions (deserts & jungles), she was considered the black sheep. Laurie is currently completing a screenplay and a memoir about her experiences.
When Ross' wife Diana was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago, Laurie was allowed back into their secret world. She has always suspected that her polygamous uncle Ross was fathering his own grandchildren, but nobody would listen.
"I talked to so many relatives about it," Laurie said, "but few believed me." A year
ago, Laurie and three other family members went to law enforcement with their
concerns. The Arizona DA's office decided to pursue the case. Then more family
members became involved, and the result is the explosive document you are about to read.
Dear Family Members,
We now know for a fact that members of our immediate family are involved in
incest. We have been suspicious for years, but believed that incest was
unlikely. However, new and disturbing evidence obligated us to find a
definitive answer; therefore, we conducted DNA testing.
The DNA test proved that our sister's son is without any doubt a product of
incest. His Y chromosome is exactly the same as ours. Given that other
children were born under equally suspicious circumstances, we assume that
these children are products of incest as well. Substantial evidence
indicates, and we are personally convinced, that our dad (Ross Wesley
LeBaron Jr), two of our brothers, and three of our sisters have engaged in
incestuous relations.
We recently confronted these members of our family and although they never
made any direct admissions of incestuous behavior, they did, in fact,
adamantly defend the practice. Also, through a number of statements made to
us, they confirmed our suspicions that our dad and oldest sister have been
engaging in an incestuous relationship for many years.
We tried through reason, logic and scientific research, to persuade them to
end their destructive beliefs and practice. Our efforts were to no avail.
We are left with public exposure as our best hope. We very much dislike
having to take actions against our family, but we believe it is absolutely
necessary to expose them and put an end to this outrageous, immoral, and
destructive conduct.
Our primary goal is to protect our youngest brother and sister, who are in
danger of eventually being compelled to participate in this heinous
lifestyle. It is our sincere hope that we can help and provide them with
the opportunity for a better life.
We hope and pray that our dad, brothers and sisters might come to understand
that their deluded and pernicious philosophy and belief system is simply
unnatural, genetically destructive and immoral, and that they will put an
end to the damage being done to their posterity.
With love sincerely,
Alaric C, LeBaron
David Uri LeBaron
Elend S, LeBaron
I don't know what will happen next, but I will say this....I can only imagine how
hard it must be to admit such a thing in your immediate family. I have seen Laurie
suffer because of this tragedy. This takes real courage. Considering that Ross is
one of the wealthiest polygamists in Utah, I can only hope for the sake of Laurie
and her family that Utah and Arizona law enforcement make speed to reel in this big fish. Ross LeBaron's youngest daughter is 15 years old, and everybody is concerned about her safety.

Warren Jeffs Senteced
If I understand it correctly, a five- year- to- life sentence means the accused serves three to four years and then goes before a review board who decide, based on conduct and other things, how much further- if any- time needs to be served. Since the judge ordered they be served consecutively, that means Warren will be in prison for 6-8 years before going before the review board. The judge was kind enough to let the time Warren has already served at Purgatory since being captured be used against the 6-8 years. That means Warren will be in prison for at least 4 years. But first, he goes to Arizona for the trail there.
IMHO- it was very smart of the judge to order Warren to serve the sentences consecutively. We don't want him on the top ten most wanted list again. I also think He will be allowed his freedom after the first review. And if and when that happens, maybe, maybe he will conduct himself with just a little more kindness. Either that or come out more extreme and biased than ever.

Boom town – FLDS in Eldorado
There is much construction at YFZ in Eldorado. One new house is complete – two - three started. Sewer and water completed for more construction by block. More warehouses completed and a new one starting. Rather strange stalls inside warehouse – reported as potato bins – who knows?? Pylons added by dairy ;another warehouse to be built ? New pivot irrigation system is up. Makes 2 working and one on the way. The other church is now complete and awesome in its beauty as you would expect. Reported that this is for normal services and temple is for special services.
As always, photos are public domain and yours to enjoy.

Big Love Season 2
The first episode of season 2 was aired last night. I turned to my husband and was like, "No! NO!" when it was over. (I'll have to wait a WHOLE week for more....sigh.....)
I found the bridal registery book rather interesting. Polariod photos of the prospective bride's bare feet (how sensual- just kidding), face, and back view(fully clothed in a 'prarie' dress) for prospective husbands to look at....hhmmmmm........

What really happened to Fred M. Jessop?
I've heard all kinds of stories explainging this. I knew somebody who was living in 'Uncle' Fred's house at the time he was taken away. They were up in their room while it was happening, and later when they came downstairs all the mothers were crying.They asked where 'Uncle' Fred was, they were told not to worry about it. Will moved in that same day and took over.
I spoke with someone else the other day who had very recently left Colorado City. I heard from this person Uncle Fred was just dumped in some city and told to never contact his family again. The nurse attending him when he died said it was of a broken heart, and none of the FLDS people were there for him in his last moments. And it was all done by Warren so he could begin his 'reign of terror'.
This absolutely breaks my heart.
Does anyone know if it is true?

The Ten Commandments
IMHO- the old one was better ( and shorter?) although there was a lot more detail in this one. I learned something I did not know before, but should have realized: Moses is considered a prophet (Holy man, man of God, whatever) by Christians, Muslims, and Jews. And that his code of moral conduct has withstood the test of time. We have the New Testiment, but I think we all (or most of us) use the ten commandments as the root of moral conduct.

God and Evloution
Evolution is a natural process taking hundreds of thousands of years to ensure the survival and adaption of various species of life... blah, blah, blah... We all know the rest.
I personally don't see why there has to be a debate on this one, because I think God USES evolution.... But, I know there are many people who fell VERY strongly about one side or the other. So, I made this thread just for a debate on this subject. I think it will be interesting... Tell us what you think!

Fundamentalism in any form
1. You are chosen specially, and other people do not have your special understanding, insight and prophetic red line to God.
2. You begin by feeling pitty towards others, and it turns into superiority, as you embrace your 'special calling'.
3. Your committment to your belief is evidenced in everything that you do, eating, sleeping, breathing and working and other see your devotion.
4. You do not allow yourself to question the words given to you by your leaders. Your trust in them is unparrallelled.
5. You are intolerant of anyone who does not support your beliefs or views.
It becomes about Gods laws, not Gods love as it moves across the spectrum of fundamentalism. What started as something good slowly twists into an unrecognizable form of what began. It's brittle and hard, and splinters easily. A force big enough will crush it, but it will always survive, in the razor sharp shards it leaves behind.

This corner of the world
Sunday morning Paul Holms' house (Joe Knudson's old house) caught on fire, I assume from a plugged chimney. Within hours, they had framing crews, dumpsters, manlifts, forklifts and work crews over framing it back together. It is all closed in by Monday and they redid the entire roof by moonlight Monday night.
Out of the 12 empty houses abandoned by the FLDS, one is a 20 bed/20 bath house in Hildale and one of simular size in CC. What do you think about that?
Kyle Steed (Nate Steeds son) story was a rumor. It's not true.
John Nielson (Jeffs) moved out of town with 7+ wives and family and his Nielson Door business building is for sale. Reliance Lighting Building for sale too! First ever Real Estate signs in this town.

Merry Christmas
I do want you guys to know that I have learned from you, and I respect you. I came in here with my strong opinions, and you guys have CHANGED them - which is by no means an easy thing to do.
I learned about your religions, and I learned about myself. It might seem rather silly to wax nostalgic on a blog, but it has been a good year. Every person who came on this blog and shared and every arrow laden debate have all been something I look forward to. If I didn't respect you guys, it wouldn't make this nearly so interesting.
I can't wait to see how TBM, FTTC, Faithful, Furnace, and a myriad of others have to say about a certain topic. I wonder what will happen to warren, but mostly - what I want is for each and every soul out there to be able to find their own life. No matter what they choose, I want them to choose it. I hope that all children will not be confronted with life long decisions in their youth.
So Merry Christmas, and thank you for sharing part of yourself with me.

Closer shots this time of tombstone on the grave of FLDS lady. I have heard it was very beautiful with scripted writing . I am sorry for your loss.
FLDS is turning rock land that is not very good to fertile farm land by digging to base, using rocks and limestone for their roads and replacing with fertile black soil; very ingenious but labor intensive. Kudos to FLDS for their ingenuity and work ethic.
Enjoy the photos. They are my gift to you and may everyone have a safe and Merry Christmas.

Honest Opinions
My honest opinion.
1. It was too long
2. It was well written
3. It made some great points
4. It made polygamists victims - I don't agree
I guess the hoopla about freedom, autonomy, and etc etc that he spouts - you'd think at least he'd respect the freedom of the press to photograph or hire helicopters etc etc.
It seemed rather whiney and pathetic at that point - hey, you wanna see someone haggled by the press - go visit a celeb. I can see photos of them practically consumating their vows it's so intrusive. I rarely see the prairie dress clad set garning the cover of any magazine - much less the dozens that line the checkout at my local grocery now dissecting Brittany's new friendship with Paris.
Anyhoo, he name dropped enough that we know he has more experience than most us monogomists with the polygamist crowd, and he made logical interesting arguments.
I honestly couldn't read the whole thing today, perhaps again tomorrow. It was so long it really needed chapters. I think I agree with a few of his conclusions, and disagree with others.

A grave of small child is in two to three photos also. The grave is about 50 yards from the southwest corner of the cement plant. It is just east of another grave of a female who died about a year ago. Neither grave has a marker on it; just a small circle of stone is the only way you would know someone's child or wife is there. My condolences to the loss of both.

3 Year Old Boy Dies in Crash at YFZ
This is just a snip of the article - for the full article - click the title to be taken to the San Angelo Times website for the full article.
ELDORADO, Texas - A 3-year-old boy was killed and another child was injured Thursday when a minivan they were riding in crashed on a ranch owned by polygamist sect led by Warren Jeffs.
Allen Rulon Jeffs was pronounced dead at a local hospital, and 3-year-old Richard Rulon Jeffs was in critical condition Thursday night. Isaac Steed Jeffs Jr., 3, and the driver, Barbara Joy Jessop, were treated and released, the San Angelo Standard-Times reported Friday.

Before i ever left the creek, questions churned deep inside my soul that i could not shake.
What is the true measure of a man, if everything he does is only to impress someone else?
Would he:
Give his last dollar if no one was watching him?
Adopt a small family and take them into his own and care for them if he wasn't commanded too?
Teach his family what he thought was right if he wasn't scared of losing them?
Give contributions to needy causes, to make this world a better place if it wasn't demanded from the pulpit?
Visit his children that were on the outside if he knew he wouldn't get "caught"?
What do you think?
I think almost every FLDS is living a lie and they don't even know it.

Flora Jessop
That is why I never expected to feel this way. 'She's a previous victim, she knows the community, she's out now - and she's telling all the secrets'. Her credibility was bullet proof for me - UNTIL NOW.
To understand what I am talking about listen to the audio file below from a recent 2006 ex-mormon conference. Flora's schpeel is about half way through. She makes scurrilous allegations about the Mohave County Investigator, his living situation, and his professional integrity.
Linda Walker and Flora Jessop: "The Church, Child Abuse and the Law: Case Studies of Civil Complaints".
Flora is considered by many an expert in the polygamous area, and thus her reputation and the her credibility of her testimony is paramount. Perhaps this expertise has gone unchecked for so long, with only the FLDS crying foul that she plays loose and free with reality in order to garner a positive response for her mission. Perhaps she just has bad information.
If you want to be seen as a credible reporter of facts, the truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity and public accountability of the facts you report needs to be a standard. Without that, there is no credibility.
In my opinion, Floras credibility with those NOT associated with the FLDS is in jeopardy. I have emailed Jay Beswick, and on several board asked for Flora to either substantiate or apologize for the information she presented at that meeting.
THUS FAR, no response.
I will assume - if no response comes that Flora cannot substantiate those allegations, but refuses to apologize.
ANY RESPONSE is better than none. I will find myself questioning every word from her lips should she not address this issue. I'm rather disillusioned at this point anyhow - and I doubt I'm the only one.

"New" edict from Jeffs?
"On Tuesday, during a hearing regarding the property trust, it was revealed that Jeffs had issued a new edict to his followers: "Do not sign your name to any document for property that has already been consecrated to God." Jeffs was not at the hearing.
This latest proclamation could complicate plans to reform the 110-million dollar United Effort Plan Trust. A judge is just days away from approving a historic change to the trust by signing a proposed reform plan that would create individual property owners.
Non-FLDS members would likely be the first to receive property, and FLDS member who don't sign the papers would live under a homeowners association. "

Is This True? No More Schooling in CC???
"I heard through the grapevine that Warren has sent out an edict that he wants no more home schooling there. No more public education, no more private education, no more education PERIOD. That's outrageous. If they are abusing their children, they are giving up their rights. The state needs to go in and test those children rigorously and make sure they're being properly educated."
Can anyone corroborate, refute or rebut?
There are compulsory education laws in all 50 states. Are FLDS homeschooled children required to take standardized achievement tests?

New Photos of FLDS in Eldorado
Warren can probably manage the FLDS better now that he is in jail than a fugitive. Many mafia Dons have done so successfully in the past. No sign of construction slowing down. New slabs are being poured around warehouses. Two new homes are being constructed. New water lines are still being installed. Pit by dairy is intriguing. Fantastic hay crop considering we are getting 95 dollars a bale due to drought. Not as much interest from the media as I thought there would be. Cooler heads have prevailed and kudos go to our local sheriff David Doran for not trying to be like the feds that botched Waco. His Intel told him that Warren was not at the local compound. He has taken a lot of heat but not a shot was fired and not a child injured! Utah and Arizona owe this man an apology!
Chapter 2 of this Saga has just begun. Stay tuned and " Keep Sweet".

Is It Really Mormon Polygamy or is it Something Else
Like the LDS most fundamental Mormon groups are trying to keep alive Mormon traditions and life styles of the religion. And NONE of them can do so without the guidance of the Almighty. And all the ones I know of, don't have the help of the Almighty.
The LDS in there darkness keep the tradition of Conference twice a year and missionaries out in the country. Conference twice a year was needed back then because people came in horse and buggy. They didn't have television and radio, therefore it was the only way to do it..
Now you can broadcast live from Salt Lake City around the world to every LDS Chapel every Sunday with the First Presidency message. Instead they use youth speakers, what a BORING WASTE OF TIME. Puts everbody to sleep every Sunday in every LDS Chapel in the country.
Why keep Conference twice a year??
Because in the darkness of their minds it represents some religious tradition that has some significance. When in fact it was the only way they could do it back in pioneer days. It has no special meaning and they can't even see that. Having not the guidance of the Almighty they fail to move on to more modern means of communication. The same difference with missionaries.
Polygamy can't possibly be lived without guidance from the Almighty. The FLDS and other Mormon groups have everybody in the group live polygamy.. Well that does'nt work. Its not Mormon Polygamy it is something else. In this day and age only a man with CONSIDERABLE income could possibly come close to affording having several wifes. Something most groups try and work around with welfare from the state. That's NOT a good idea.

Reply to Fundy
99.9% of polygamists do it right? I as a pro polygamy avocate beg to differ.
Where you want to promote polygamy as a better life style, I simply want to have the right to live that life style if I so choose. How many time can it be said, polygamy is NOT for everyone.
Feedback on "BANKING ON HEAVEN"
I watched "Banking on Heaven" last night. I was impressed by testimony of victims. Those people did not imagine their predicament. I especially noticed the harassment and shunning of locals toward the film crew.
Do you think that by ignoring the problem it will disappear? Will it take extreme measures to correct the situation. The rest of this country want children to grow up without fear of abuse. Women the right to wait until they are physically and mentally mature to marry. Young men to have the opportunity to marry. A ban against any girl being forced to marry a man twenty or more years her senior. Each family unit to be self sustaining without governmental handouts. A severe penalty being imposed upon a man who engages in sodomy with young boys or girls and/or incest leading to the birth of a child born of a daughter being bred by her natural father.
Has anyone else seen the film? What did you think?

Monogamy has Problems
women said:I would expect that from you. 36 is too old for starting a family? Since you are "Fundy" of course .........
Fundy says: The problem here is if you haven't found somebody to start a family with by 36, odds are your not going to find anybody period.
On the outside all the good men are already taken. And there is room for no more.You being in the gentile world you are SOL. Unless one of the better men happens to get free....
You hoping to find someone but your odds are against you. You may never find someone. In the gentile world if you get beyond a certain age when most young people are getting married, 18 to about 25 or so. Your chances of finding someone decrease every year you stay single. Its been my observation that women who get to your age without being married usually, but not always, have some type of problem that keeps them from marriage.
However I don't claim to know your situation personally.
Good luck

Polygamy and Women Vs. Men
The benefits polygamy has for women
Being able to marry the men who attract most women means they don't have to settle just for what's left after other women have the best pickings.
Having the possibility that a husband can remarry without divorce extends practical security to a woman. She needn't worry about losing her husband and income as she loses her looks, because if her husband is attracted by a younger woman, he doesn't even have to think about leaving his wife.
Replies to Fundy's Polygamy Threads
Legalizing Polygamy Would Recognize Culture, History
With the spirit of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as a guide ("Congress shall make no law respecting instabilities of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . . "), it is easy to recognize that "perfect toleration of religious sentiment" requires the majority of Utahns, who reject polygamy as a way of life, to be tolerant of the small minority of Utahns who believe, as part of their religion, that plural marriage is the key to their eternal salvation. If the threat of legal sanctions against polygamists in Utah were removed, and if (as guaranteed by the first paragraph of Article III in the Utah StateConstitution) the religious sentiment of a relatively small minority regarding polygamy were tolerated by the majority, then polygamists inUtah could be publicly open and honest about their families.
Don't Post In Any Thread Fundy Starts
Fundy likes to erase his threads. Which means you might have been having a really interesting discussion, or there is important information on a thread you would like to make reference to, and poof it's gone.
I'll try and post reminders as often as I can at the bottom of his threads. Please post responses to Fundy's topics in a different thread - ANY thread, the conversation will start over.
If everyone can remind people NOT to post on Fundy's threads, and if we can be more assertive about starting a new blog topic for people to have discussion that would be great.

Polygamy, LDS Lies and More Lies
The LDS Church, which brought polygamy with it to Utah during the mid-1800s, has been busy trying to induce amnesia by pretending the faithful never lived polygamy or ever defended it as a commandment from God. The LDS Church as an institution will barely accept its own history about polygamy much less take responsibility for the legacy left by it.
The LDS are trying their best to lie to everyone, including their very OWN members. IF YOU ARE LDS you really need to understand the amount of lies that your leadership, Gordon B. Hinkleberry, are trying to feed you.
The point here is how do you trust a church which is obviously lieing to its members? When are they telling the truth and when are they lieing? All you LDS out there, You Cannot trust a church which lies to you.
The truth be known, Hinkleberry is only a relic, which is used for display purposes only. Other people are in charge at the LDS church.

Rhoda Stubbs Funeral
What Happened to the Harvest Festival?
Friday, August 11, 2006
I know that you didn't feel good about the way things were going as far back as the last October Fest.
Oh Grandpa, Where are you?
Do you have a place to stay? Are you taken care of? How is your heart condition? Have you recovered from your open heart surgery? None of your kids (at least the ones that will talk to me) know where you are. Enid, I saw you last week, why didn't you tell me!!!!?
Grandpa, where are you?! Why are you letting them do this to you?
I love you.

So no great merit for me in being the first one to thank you for a fine Kelly strip
And a sincere Hippo-Critical Oaf to you ! (as the doctor said)

It's interesting how Kelly really fell in love with adding tons of extra detail in the late '60s and early '70s. This was during the same period that he working on the 'We Have Met the Enemy' short that he was fully hand-animating on his own, so perhaps doing so much damned drawing during that period caused him to hone his craft even further (I think it would have the opposite effect on me - when I have to get a lot done at once, I tend to get a li'l sloppier!). There was an interview with Kelly's assistant Henry Shikuma in one of the '80s Pogo books (Outrageously Pogo), and he says he asked Kelly why he bothered with the extra detail. Kelly's response was "It's no trouble," and he would then proceed to bang out an ornate Sunday page in superhuman time.ReplyDelete
My personal theory is that Kelly was annoyed by the way newspapers were shrinking comic strips at that time, and decided to make sure his own strip was kept at full-size by ensuring that the miniaturized version would be darn near illegible!

Albert was wise to scoot off - I don't think I'd want Howland working on my plumbing either.ReplyDelete
I've been doing more poking around, and have discovered that the official Pogo site has been down for at least a year or so now, going into the Wayback machine. I'm not entirely sure why this is. Maybe Carolyn Kelly seems to leave it to Mark Evanier to blog most of the Pogo Awareness stuff anymore. He had at least a 100 year birthday wish for Walt (http://www.newsfromme.com/2013/08/25/happy-walt-kelly-day-centennial-edition/), and he does seem to have quite the crush on Carolyn. She and Mark were supposed to be at the 100-year Walt Kelly panel, but Carolyn had to bow out due to illness. I met them at an earlier convention in 2007 once, though.
If I was Oh-ficially in charge of the Oh-ficial Pogo site, I would throw such love and care into it. It would be a sparkling, well-serviced machine. I kid you not, I would not let Kelly's name and reputation sink into obscurity.ReplyDeleteReplies

I've often wondered exactly how this could be achieved, I mean aside from a purely curational sense. It's been tried at least twice to keep the franchise alive - once with Selby if you count the well-intentioned limping from 1973 into 1975 and then the one orchestrated in 1989 which quite possibly was the best Pogo has ever been by committee. Frankly, if the 1989 run failed, I don't see how one can do better as it really was fairly spot on to the late period Pogo with its satire. And therein might be the problem. I figure what made Pogo famous happened in the late 40's to early 50's. The golden age. I'm not saying that later period Pogo is inferior in design and concept - merely that it was a refinement to its own demographic, perhaps. What often is missing from later non-Kelly incarnations of Pogo is that distinctive tactile boyhood nostalgia. Also, the cast may have gotten a tad cluttered than what usually appeals to first time readers. In short, Pogo becomes more obvious and powerful when you experience it from the beginning. It becomes this experience of watching the characters evolve from the tighter chemistry of the rougher drawn golden age comic book funny animals into the refined and sophisticated art and comedy of the syndicated strip's larger ensemble cast. While it's possible to become enamored with Pogo purely from late period exposure, I think it's much more a connoisseurship of artists and critics than ordinary readers.Delete

Nice to see a little love for the Doyle/Sternecky strip of the late '80s! That's how I first got introduced to the world of Pogo as a tad of 5, with my Dad (who remembered the original strip, of course) doing all the voices in probably not-quite-P.C. style. I completely fell in love with the subtle wordplay and the elaborate cause-and-effect plotting. Within a few years, I was buying whatever scant collections I could turn up of the original Kelly Pogo (I now have all of them thanks to eBay, but back then I had to rely on my local comic/collectibles store, and the "antique" book store in Nantucket where we would vacation every summer). Even as a kid of 7 or 8, I quickly realized that the Kelly original was unsurpassable, and the revivalists were engaged in a fool's errand. But I still have a soft spot for the '89-92 Pogo, particularly Sternecky's artwork, which is really a thing of beauty. I think the "sophisticated funny animal" humor is a large part of what attracted me to the strip. While a large portion of the references might have gone over my head, I saw that there was something more going on here than in the Looney Tunes or Disney cartoons, and it intrigued me...while at the same time staying accessible due to the adorable critters. I saved many of those Sunday pages as a kid, and still have them. Even looking at them now, it's hard for me to be objective about their quality because they were my introduction to this wonderful world. But whatever the failings of their attempt at aping Kelly (the primary failing being simply that NO ONE else is Walt Kelly, so why try?), I must thank Messrs. Sternecky and Doyle for introducing me to one of my greatest creative role models, and one of my favorite fictional worlds.Delete

When I first saw it, my gut reaction was moderately negative. Now I must say that I was being highly unfair to it - one of a very few mistakes I've made I will openly confess to. Sure, Doyle/Sternecky can't be compared to some of Kelly's more subtle charms, but it was worthy being fairly witty and occasionally pretty gosh-darn endearing. The sequence where Albert and Pogo were messing with the musical notes to create a jingle was priceless.Delete
....Suddenly this place feels like an active forum, doesn't it?
Yes! An active forum, thanks to you and Hun and Craig and Eric and Mark!Delete
I'll post a couple of Doyle/Sternecky Sundays. I think they were very good efforts.
On a completely different note, it's great for a personal reason to see this and last week's strips: They bookend my personal arrival into the world; I first showed up on May 17 1971. So nice to see where the strip was at when I joined the fun (even if I don't remember seeing it until some collections in the 80's)ReplyDelete
The 5-23 strip has a different letterer than the 5-16 strip. I think of the 5-16 letterer as the way the lettering is supposed to look for that period. Any idea who the two letterers are?ReplyDelete
Alimentary, I have this dream where a Pogo comic book is revived, utilizing the everlovin' art of several cartoonists that have already demonstrated their affinity with Kelly and Pogo and Albert. Actually, I visualize the comic book as 'Walt Kelly Comics and Stories', to also have stories of Peter Wheat and Fairy Tales and other sprightly stuff. I would like to be its editor and keep the name of Kelly alive and well. Well, that's my dream.ReplyDeleteReplies

A compilation of 8-12 comic page yarns done by artists who were inspired by the original series to become cartoonists? I could see that being possible with some networking - possibly a kick-starter? I'm not up on the rules of tribute works. It'd be great if they were reasonably well-known cartoonists to bring some connection to the current generation.Delete
The closest we ever had to a full-length comic tribute was the glorious, if abjectly heart-wrenching, "Pog" by Alan Moore covering all of Swamp Thing #32: (http://swords-and-veeblefetzers.blogspot.com/2010/01/alan-moores-pastiche-to-walt-kellys.html). I've read that one in the bonifide (and ironic considering the ecological message) dead-trees edition.
Eric, I'm glad you found your bookend dates. I've done the same with my dates, only a decade earlier (which was my favorite year of Kelly's artistic style).ReplyDelete
Mark, your eyebones are better than mine in seeing the differments. But I believe you if you say so. At that late date in Pogo's existence I have no idea who Kelly's assistants and letterers were. He wasn't feeling well at that time, so he may have had a number of people chipping in time. There must still be people alive and well out there that remember that time. I wish they would contact us here at Whirled of Kelly.ReplyDeleteReplies

Eyebrow waxing is a method of removing hair by the root from the eyebrow. Waxing is done by applying wax to the area in which hair removal is desired. A paper strip is then placed on top of the wax and ripped off quickly against the direction of hair growth.
Waxing and shaping the eyebrows is a great way to enhance Botox injections and can make a huge impact on the overall appearance of the face. The correct brow shape for your face can make your eyes appear more open and awake and bring evenness to facial features.

For Reina Akl, spring isn't chirping birds and fragrant blossoms; it's a sign that congestion and constant sneezing are on the horizon - the result of seasonal allergies.
For relief, she has someone poke her with needles.
Ms. Akl has turned to acupuncture and says it works as well as drugs to control her allergies, with none of the pesky side effects such as dry mouth and drowsiness.
"Without medication I couldn't function," the Montreal occupational therapist says. "Before, it was either the allergies or the side effects. But I don't need to take medication any more."
An estimated 20 per cent of Canadians suffer from seasonal allergies, the body's overreaction to airborne particles such as pollen. The season can last from mid-April to the first freeze in the fall, depending on which allergens the body is sensitive to.
Acupuncturist Neemez Kassam of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto has noticed an increase in allergy patients and thinks people are fed up with drugs' side effects.
"It's very effective and is substantial compared to what they were getting before," he says, comparing acupuncture with medication. "It builds up over time."
The acupuncture approach is two-pronged; the first focus is on relieving acute symptoms such as congestion and sneezing, then it works to build up long-term defences to allergens such as pollen.
"What we look for are the symptoms to decrease in severity, intensity and frequency so you can tolerate them better, and then we start to look at the root," Mr. Kassam explained.
Ms. Akl receives preventative treatments that begin in June, prior to traditional hay fever season. She has been getting this seasonal therapy for the past four years and says her symptoms have gradually diminished with each passing year.
The medical establishment generally accepts acupuncture, according to Paul Lépine of Quebec City, a general practitioner trained in homeopathy, because it is regulated, and scientific studies have indicated that it relieves nausea and pain.
But when it comes to allergies, acupuncture doesn't top Dr. Lépine's list of recommendations. "It's not the first thing we suggest because there needs to be more research. But the evidence is positive," he says, adding that "it's safe and probably effective."
The results of a 2007 study published in The Medical Journal of Australia compared placebos with acupuncture treatments, and concluded that allergy symptoms decreased with acupuncture.
According to practitioners of acupuncture, the hair-thin needles stimulate specific points along meridians or energy pathways in order to encourage the balance of bodily qi or energy, the believed source of good health in Chinese medicine.
Linda Rapson, president of the Ontario Society of Physicians for Complementary Medicine, said conventional medicine treats an allergy's symptoms, while traditional Chinese medicine deals with the root of the problem by correcting the body's energy imbalances.
When monthly allergy shots lost their potency for Cindy Perth of suburban Montreal, she decided to top them off with acupuncture and says it worked immediately.
"When she pokes me with the needles, it opens my airways, it's easier to breathe."
At first, relief from congestion and sneezing was temporary, but the cumulative effect of two years of acupuncture, plus her regular allergy shots, now allows Ms. Perth to enjoy the warm weather.
People who have complete success - the total elimination of any allergic reaction - are not the vast majority, Mr. Kassam said. He estimates that people experience a 50- to 60-per-cent reduction in symptoms and notes that acupuncture has fewer side effects than over-the-counter antihistamines.
Minor adverse effects can include mild bruising and a temporary tingling or numbing sensation, Mr. Kassam said, but any serious consequences are the result of improperly administering treatment. He suggests patients check their practitioner's credentials.
British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec have professional colleges to consult and they set requirements, guidelines and procedures for practitioners. Ontario is in the process of creating a similar institution, so contacting the training institution directly is recommended.
