Faulty power button on the Apple iPhone 4 leads to $5 million suit against Apple
0. phoneArena 15 May 2013, 18:18 posted on
A class action law suit against Apple has been filed under the RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), which is commonly used against corporate gang syndicates, but is also used for Class Action suits; the suit alleges that the power button on the Apple iPhone 4 is designed to stop working once the one-year warranty expires, forcing the owner of the phone to shell out $149 for a repair, or to buy a whole new device...

"...the power button on the Apple iPhone 4 is designed to stop working once the one-year warranty expires..."
I know it's not officially confirmed yet, but that is insane!
IT IS DESIGNED TO STOP WORKING...what does that tell people?
It's like they're testing secretly even on the power button, giving it a time-frame for it to 'work'...all for some extra bills.

I cannot...for the life of me...believe that you guys actually think a company would design their phone to fail. I mean, think about what that sentence says...the power button is designed to fail when the one year warranty expires. With all the people with AppleCare or phone insurance...why would this be smart? Also, how do you design something to fail after a certain amount of time? Wouldn't it matter more about how much the power button is used rather than a length of time?
I love you guys, but it's honestly like none of you actually think. People will file suit for anything, but it doesn't mean you have to believe it.

you are smart, only st*pids would buy such a device from such a spoiled company:
"Quarter of iPhones have a broken screen, poll says."
"Foxconn's iPhone 5 devices fall below agreed standards"
"Apple iOS Apps Leak More Personal Info Than Android".
"40% of iOS popular apps invade your privacy without any permission."
"FBI files: STEVE JOBS was a lying, power hungry, mad man."

'Wat u talkin' 'bout Willis!!'
This is what Apple does to all their products; just look at all those dead Macbooks on Craigslist that die precisely after the 3-year mark (right after Apple dis-Care expiRes).
I think the suit should be amended to 5 BILLION (for all those poor little unsuspecting and gullible iSouls)!!!

Quality is built into the iphone and also designed into its home button too.
The iphone is a great phone but Apple is an evil company.

I find this very interesting that its in the news finally, my sibling is suffering the same exact power button problem on their iPhone 4. Sure its an old phone but it shouldn't be designed to fail.
6. Droiddoes (unregistered)
LMFAO. More of that "premium apple build quality" we've come to expect!
"You're pushing the button wrong! iphone works exactly how it is supposed to!"
7. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3770; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Lol, i thought of commenting something like,
'Is everyone starting to press the power button wrong again?'
10. zibbyzib2000 (Posts: 221; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
I had this happen with my 4s 1 years and 1 month after I purchased it. When I called they told me that it happens when I push the power button too many times. So I was like "What??? Isn't that what its supposed to be for in the first place". I got it fixed locally for like $60 but now reading this article is making me want to call to complain.

Same thing happened with both of the iPods I've owned. I bought both through Walmart & luckily I ponied up for the extended warranty. Both were classic models, my 30GB's battery took a dive 1 year & 3 months after purchase, my 120GB's battery AND hard drive went out 1 year and 2 months after purchase.
The 120GB's was the worst because after the new hard drive was replaced it wouldn't recognize me as the legitimate owner of the content I had bought through iTunes. Contacting Apple did no good (a week of emails with them sending me links to the support section which I had already been through thoroughly). After none of that fixed the issue they instructed me to redownload my content. When I asked about getting reimbursed for it I was told it would have to come out of my pocket. I had around $100 worth of content through iTunes and my history showed I had bought it all, but I was informed that the money I had paid was for a one time download. That's why I have never given them another dime of my money. Most any place you buy content will allow you to redownload it if it gets corrupted or lost. And the fact that it was Apple's device failure that caused it was the final straw for me. If they can't take better care of customers like me then why should I support them?

I think the fandroids on here should take a break and that lady wins the case, only then should they agree to the statement "the power button on the Apple iPhone 4 is designed to stop working once the one-year warranty expires".

And now suddenly every poster on this site would have owned an iPhone 4 and come up with their story about how the power button failed after an year.
14. Malique001 (Posts: 58; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
The allegation seems to be right on point because before I upgraded to an iPhone 5, my iPhone 4's power/lock button did indeed stop working about a year after I purchased it. Not surprised Apple would do something like this though.

Apples nother trick to make customers spend to gain money from public, wow how smart apple, but consumers don't care cause what matters is they have a trend phone to show off..?
18. GhostBear (Posts: 25; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
Previous iPhone 4 owner, I always had problem with signal reception. The power button became weak but never completely failed on me. Also went through three charging cables, they told me too much flexing made the wires inside break. I never used the ear buds but they were made with a similar style cable. Those were the only issues I ever had with mine. My next phone on contract was a Motorola. I never had build quality issues with that phone but they were terrible with updating the software.

hmm...interesting. have had iPhones since the iPhone 4 & never had one issue w/a power button going out. this only tells me that you can't believe everything you see/hear. ppl find creative ways to get money they haven't earned everyday.
28. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
To me it seems more like the person is trying to make a quick buck, or 5 million. In my opinion, this power button "issue" is more like normal wear and tear on the device instead of an actual defect. If that is the case, then I should sue HTC because once the battery in my Evo Shift was 1.5yrs old it stopped holding a proper charge. I guess that I could say that "they are designed to stop charging after 1.5yrs".
34. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4210; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
Buttons and batteries are rated for a certain amount of presses and recharges, respectively. Say a button is rated for 100,000 presses, or a battery is rated for 1,000 charges, that should be enough to get most people to the point where they will upgrade. If they chose parts that would put it just outside the warranty, then that's pretty crappy. Read my post above, I had 2 iPod classics, both had the batteries go out and 1 had the hard drive go out shortly after the 1 year warranty expired. And I didn't even use them that much.
29. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
I actually had this problem twice on my iPhone 4. One time Verizon replaced it for free the other Apple replaced it for free. This is a serious problem though and if I had to shell out $150 for repairs I would have been a lot more mad!

that is so not true, I hate apple like hate it ! but I've seen my friend carried around iPhone 4 since the launch until the one x arrived and he had no problems what so ever ( I see him every day so I know ) but i remember in that the home button became a little bad to press but still just a little his iPhone was unlocked 32g black one so I don't know about those crappy carrier locked devices you guys are getting.
41. dragonstkdgirl (Posts: 144; Member since: 07 Apr 2012)
I've had two iPod classics (versions from the last three or four years) that have each had either the power or center button fail to the point of needing a warranty replacement.
Is this a common Apple issue?
42. wireless_cartel (Posts: 1; Member since: 16 May 2013)
How does this even make sense? How can someone claim that the lock button is made to stop working after a year of use? Everyone's use is different. This is just the outcome of someone who was upset at coincidently having their lock button fail after their one year mark. Obviously if a phone literally has 4 buttons on it they will become overused eventually. I've had the same issue happen to me and it is just something that happens after a while. No hard feelings. They don't advertise the phone as invincible or unbreakable. A phone is a phone and buttons will stop working after a while. Just saying.
43. spasticpat (Posts: 98; Member since: 18 Dec 2012)
I've had my 4S since it came out, never had a problem. I think it depends on use. If Apple is making them faulty on purpose then shame on them, get your money back or they should replace with a new device and they should be held accountable. But I highly doubt they're doing it on purpose. If you're careful with your device and all shouldn't be a problem. I've never had any issues, my brother never had issues with his iPhone 4 and my sister never had issues with her iPhone 4 and they both had theirs 2+ years too. And why does this lady need $5 million? Did her home button going bad cost $5 million to her personally?

A Peacock's Tale: Due Process and Free Speech in Academe
Alan A. Matheson
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Arizona State Law Journal, p. 401, 1986
The 1973 dismissal of Dr. Erie E. Peacock, Jr., as Head of the Department of Surgery at the University of Arizona College of Medicine set in motion a long, bitter, and expensive dispute. The struggle involved preliminary motions in federal district court, jury trials, four appeals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and administrative hearings at the University. In the process, courts and faculty panels considered the issues of protected interests in administrative and teaching positions, procedural due process, academic freedom, and free speech for university personnel. The litigation has legal and practical ramifications in the State of Arizona and nationally. Because of the influence that Dr. Peacock's termination and its aftermath have had upon the university system in Arizona and upon the law affecting academic dismissals generally, as well as the unique longevity of the litigation, a chronicle of his complicated tale of legal and administrative conflict has merit. The history illustrates an avoidable personnel dispute, badly handled by a university; dogged persistence by a proud, somewhat exasperating faculty member resisting a reputation-damaging termination; a legal battle unusual in its duration and intensity; and incalculable damage to faculty morale and to the prestige of a fine educational institution. Perhaps other institutions can learn a valuable lesson in what not to do in comparable situations. In addition, the controversy raises important questions with respect to the required "public concern"' element of speech by academic personnel at public universities, and under what circumstances constitutional protection accompanies their remarks.

New Windows Chief Talks Sinofsky, Windows 8, Surface

Julie Larson-Green is working to fill Sinofsky's shoes
When Microsoft's Windows Chief Steven
Sinofsky hit the road
last month, Julie Larson-Green stepped in as the new sheriff in town (as far as Windows 8 goes, anyway). Larson-Green didn't inherit an easy role, so it's fair to ask: Can she fill Sinofsky's shoes?
Larson-Green, who has worked for Microsoft for 20 years and led the introduction of huge ideas like the ribbon interface for Microsoft Office, recently interviewed with Tom Simonite at
MIT Technology Review
in an attempt to offer insight on what it's like to grab hold of Windows' biggest redesign and attempt to bring everyone on board with the new look and feel.
According to Larson-Green, so far, so good. While Sinofsky was a strong force in the Windows environment with a brilliant mind and explosive personality, Larson-Green insists that "not much" has changed since she took over his position.
"I've worked directly with Steven for seven years but known him for the whole 20 years I've been at Microsoft," said Larson-Green. "We think a lot the same about what the role of Windows is in society, what computing looks like, and getting people on board with that point of view."
Getting everyone on board hasn't been easy. Windows has had a solid user interface design since Windows 95, which was the start of a more object oriented interface. Users had become accustomed to this for nearly two decades, and
Windows 8 flipped that entire concept
on its head.
Julie Larson-Green [Image Source: Microsoft]
Windows 8 features what was once called the Metro style user interface, with colorful live tiles and a repositioned Start button. The new design was mainly for touch purposes in mobile products like Microsoft's Surface and Windows Phone 8, but some have had a hard time digesting this new look for desktop use. So why the radical change?
"When Windows was first created 25 years ago, the assumptions about the world and what computing could do and how people were going to use it were completely different," said Latson-Green. "It was at a desk, with a monitor. Before Windows 8 the goal was to launch into a window, and then you put that window away and you got another one. But with Windows 8, all the different things that you might want to do are there at a glance with the Live Tiles. "
She added the importance of touch on desktops as well as mobile devices to enhance the experience of using Windows 8, while still giving users the option to have a keyboard and mouse. She said it takes people anywhere from two days to two weeks to get adjusted to all the changes in Windows 8, depending on how invested they were in the traditional versions.
This brings us to the Surface tablet, which is Microsoft's first homemade hardware running Windows. Larson-Green addressed the new product briefly (nothing about sales numbers or demand, which have been in speculation lately).
"It was a way to test our hypothesis of a new way of working," said Larson-Green. "It takes time for individuals to adjust, but it also takes time for the industry to adjust to new things—all the complicated things about the supply chain and issues like what sizes of glass gets cut. Surface is our vision of what a stage for Windows 8 should look like, to help show consumers and the industry our point of view on what near perfect hardware would look like."
Sinofsky, former president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division, announced that he was
leaving the company
last month after a little over 23 years with the tech giant. It was reported as a "sudden" move that no one expected, but details about the departure show that the decision was contemplated for a while and even
backed by Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates
While Sinofsky was seen as a brilliant figure at Microsoft, his downfall was that he didn't get along with others within the company. He was notorious for picking fights with other executives, including current CEO Steve Ballmer, and even pushed former executives like chief software architect Ray Ozzie to quit.

I didn,t see that muh angry backlash against Windows 7 when it came out. I'm speaking about sales, and i have high doubts this Windows will be a commercial success.
I used Windows 8 since it came out. I don't hate it, Under the Hood it's a masterpiece of engineering. But after 2 months i barely use any metro apps. Even metro explorer is a pain to use compared to desktop explorer. I use a long ribbon of shortcuts that shows only icons and go through them all every morning for exemple. Doing this in metro, like switching tabs, is a pain.
And they need a dock in metro. The taskbar is the most useful thing in the desktop. Ios, android and OS x have a dock. It would be perfectly doable in metro, even with auto-hide enabled by default.
That multitasking of 2 apps with one taking 1/3 of screen and the other 2/3. Seriously? There's no 1/2-1/2 option? Why? Why can't we split the screen horizontaly? Why can,t we split 4-ways?
How about the top of the screen that's barely used in apps? That would be a good place to put context-sensitive menus a la ribbon.
The left of the screen used for apps switching, i would transform it to an universal back button, since we would have a dock at the bottom to swith apps.
I still use ZUNE on the desktop since i can't figure out how to manage playlists with the xbox music apps. It's like all their apps are made to PURCHASE something more easily than BROWSING THROUGH YOUR OWN CONTENT.
Anyway, still holding on to them stocks. Office is still great.
"We are going to continue to work with them to make sure they understand the reality of the Internet. A lot of these people don't have Ph.Ds, and they don't have a degree in computer science." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Michael Feinstein's got rhythm, he's got music, and now he has a dandy new book called "The Gershwins and Me," about Ira Gershwin and other veteran songwriters he has known.
The book's informality is fun. It's a long book, and very heavy, with a lot of full-color pictures. There are things Feinstein found out while hanging around with Ira and with other old Tin Pan Alley types. You can view notebooks, manuscripts, sketches and old photos. They're fascinating.
It's also fun to hear Feinstein dishing up affectionate anecdotes.
The stories dealing with Ira Gershwin and his wife, Lee, are funny and human. "I remember Ira asking me what was wrong one time when I must have seemed down. I said, 'Ah, I said such-and-such to Lee and she gave me a withering look.' He said, 'My wife gives everybody withering looks; why should that bother you?"
Feinstein enchantingly describes what Ira's work habits used to be like.
Before he began working on a song, Ira would sharpen his brain by doing crossword puzzles and reading arcane books about words. And then he would dive in ... but in his own way. Ira was a world-class procrastinator. When he had to write something he would put it off and put it off. He'd finally start, probably late in the day, then he'd stop to have a sandwich and read the newspaper. Finally, he'd force himself to get down to business and work for a half hour or so, and maybe he'd come up with a couple of good rhymes, and that would give him cause to celebrate. So he'd stop and have a cigar. Sometimes he would work all night like that.
We wander through the history of individual songs. For instance "I've Got A Crush On You," which we now know as a sultry ballad, began life as an uptempo dance number cut from "An American in Paris." I also had not known that the word "crush" had just come to mean infatuation. There is a slang term that has stuck.
Feinstein admits that he is free with his opinions. But I admire his opinions, because I admire him as a performer as well as a chronicler.
He amusingly blasts rock music. He holds various singers up for evaluation, and not everyone cuts it.
"Too often singers are faking it," he writes. "They'll seek gravitas in the words when it isn't there and try to bring it to their performance, as if closing your eyes and emoting histrionically made a banal song more meaningful. They'll sing it faster, or in a different key, or they'll change harmonies, a melody or even some of the words."
Speaking of which: "Another pet peeve of mine comes when singers close their eyes when performing, thus disconnecting themselves from the very people they're supposed to be singing to."
It's funny to think that Feinstein, as impressive as his knowledge may be of the Great American Songbook, has nothing on his dad, Edward. "My dad is still the one I call when I need to know a lyric, and he still charms the ladies when he bursts into song," Feinstein writes. He continues in parentheses: "After he met the famously acerbic actress Elaine Stritch, Elaine called to tell me how much she enjoyed meeting my father. When I responded that my mother was sorry not to have met her as well, there was a pregnant pause and she replied, 'Damn, I was hoping she was dead.' "
The stories about George Gershwin, numerous as they are, are the least appealing. Feinstein didn't know him, and that territory had already been pretty well covered. As recently as last year, an interesting book about Gershwin came out, the bittersweet memoir by Katharine Weber, called "The Memory of All That." She was Kay Swift's granddaughter and told the story of Swift's long affair with Gershwin.
Speaking of that affair, I have come to an unhappy conclusion about George Gershwin: I do not really like reading about him. I love his songs, and I am sorry he died young, but he comes across as an unattractive personality – a big ego, a user, someone who obliviously hurt other people's feelings without remorse. He seems to have put all his emotion into his music and not into much else.
It seems revealing that in a self-portrait (of course Gershwin drew himself) while he really captures himself, he draws his eyes as X's, as if he has no heart. Anecdotes about him often leave an icky aftertaste.
Still, revolving around him were a host of other, more likable people. Oscar Levant, for instance, always makes great copy. Levant spent so much time at Ira and George's adjoining penthouses that, Feinstein writes, he was more like a lodger than a guest. "Levant wrote the place 'was mostly filled with an element of parasites, both aesthetic and gustatory ... Here I discovered I was a born leader, for I soon took charge of this hitherto disorganized group."
The book's informal nature allows Feinstein to proselytize too much sometimes about Gershwin. I am not sure that Gershwin's songs are universally considered above everyone else's. Get up to the level of Jerome Kern, or Cole Porter, and it's a matter of taste.
Feinstein enjoys re-airing a few isolated rumors that Gershwin was gay. The people who uttered them to begin with were conveniently silent after that, declining to say how they supposedly knew. Who needs people like that, and who needs to have their nonsense repeated?
All in all, though, this is an enjoyable ramble through the Great American Songbook's history, a world that Feinstein knows as few other people do. Perhaps he is even adding to it.
Discussing singers and their interpretations, he writes: "If ever I'm lucky enough to have people do cover versions of songs I've written, I'll be thrilled – even if they stink."

Local troops name Congresswoman Distinguished Citizen of the Year
Capito honored with Boy Scout award
March 8, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Jerry Mays first met Shelley Moore Capito in 1999 before she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the 2nd district of West Virginia....
I don't always agree with Ms. Capito's voting or political stance but every time we have needed help dealing with Washington or Charleston, from getting disaster assistance to interacting with predatory GSEs, she and her staff have been quick to respond and help bring about useful resolutions.

Dear Capito,
What have you done in Washington? Have you introduced any bills? If so, have they evven cleared the house? Or....are you just a symbolic figure of WV, brought to DC because you'll toe the line of your party?
The only thing worse than a politician with no ideas, is a politician that that is brought in to vote the party line every time.

WOW,this story kind of relates to tax and spenders like Charles Town City Council members that are not from here and push their socialist agenda. Council members Bringewatt, Paonessa and Slover recruited another liberal spender to run for City Council that has only lived here a few months and is not from Charles Town. This hurts our City because all of them are not from here, moved here, and immediately ran for office and did not take the time to get to know the people or our issues. They try to block growth and fail to improve our infrastructure such as sidewalks and our terrible drinking water. Paonessa nominated a new liberal resident that had only lived here for a few weeks and put him on the CT Planning Comm. Bringewatt, Slover and Paonessa want to increase their voting block on Council to stop growth. There is nothing wrong with being from somewhere else, but soon no one on Council would be from West Virginia or Charles Town. We don't need another no growther on Council.

Why is it taboo to mention Obama's illegal alien uncle, Onyango Obama, because it puts the president in a bad light (he has a drunk driving arrest), but it's OK to constantly associate someone from Congresswoman Cappito's family who also has less than stellar past with her? Ahhhh, the double standard continues. BTW, if it were up to me, Arch Moore would still be in prison.

One uninformed commenter states....."Capito hates unions, teachers unions, City employees, County Employees, Federal Employees...." So, what's not to like about her then?....what they did not include was the end of the sentence that Capito does not like people making a decent wage and votes against it and unemployement for people who have earned it. People like Capito can't block public employees too often, but they make rules that screws people that have to work in the private sector. Congress should be working to get private sector standards for its workers up to the level of public employees, and not the reverse. People deserve a fair wage and benefits, and if Congress would quit tying the hands of the private sector and let it go, everyone would have better wages and benefits. She is the problem. Come on John Raese, where are you?

Great minds think alike?
The fact that Capito keeps pretending in public speeches that she has an honorable family political history shows her contempt for her constituents, and for honesty itself. A public servant with respect for the public and public accountability would not have the hubris to advance the notion that a disgraced public servant, like her father, deserves to mentioned favorably.
If she loves and admires her father for giving her the privileged position she has always had, fine, but she's a fool for presenting her father as an example for others, or as proof of her fine political and social pedigree. He was a crook, and she is the daughter of a politician who betrayed the public trust.

The boy scouts must still be confused over the gay issue, now they are involving themselves in politics. Bad move, get your own house in order. Capito hates unions, teachers unions, City employees, County Employees, Federal Employees and anyone who makes a decent living. Look at her record, she continally votes against pay and benefits for public employees. So please, cut the crap. Where are you John Raese, you can beat her hands down. 2013 Distinguished Citizen Award - NOT.

"When I walk up the steps of the Capitol, I feel the people who have been there before, including my father." Shirley, this should read:"When I walk up the steps of the Federal Prison, I feel the people who have been there before, including my father." Yeah, he was in for defrauding the people of WV. I wouldn't vote for this gal, she comes from a long line of takers.

Capito said:
"When I walk up the steps of the Capitol, I feel the people who have been there before, including my father."
I wonder if she has the same feeling when she walks into a state prison, since her father, Arch Moore, was sentenced to over five years in prison after pleading guilty to felony charges of corruption and fraud as Republican governor of WV.
This is at least the second time that The Journal has helped Capito rehabilitate and gloss over her family's criminal political history by politely not mentioning her father's notorious crimes when Shelley, wearing her Congresswoman's hat, publicly expresses her admiration for him. If she were a Democrat, there would be endless attacks on her by Republicans on this account.
Certainly her father's corrupt career propelled her to her current position. Considering her highly public expressions of admiration for him, one wonders how far Shelley has fallen from the tree.

Notice that all the article says is that she has won elections....no distinct efforts recognized that benefit the area? And, of course, it wouldn't be a Capito quote without mentioning her father...talk about coattail politics

State bill on fracking has one major flaw
April 6, 2013
Editor, Recently I took a deep breath and moved out of my comfort zone — I met with my representatives in the West Virginia Legislature....
Watch how quickly these liberal supporters start crying when they see their electricity bills soon. Only stupid ignorant mindless creatures vote for things that they cannot afford and that hurts themselves and their own family. But hey....it's your RIGHT to remain stupid. But don't whine when you never get ahead and don't ever succeed in life. One has to be smarter than a piece of cardboard to be successful. That surely leaves democrats out. Dems pass bills; THEN see consequences; THEN act 'shocked' and then scramble to 'fix.' Bwahaha. And they STILL haven't learned to THINK FIRST; or READ BILLS FIRST. Stupid people just get more stupid. Stupid people are not CAPABLE of learning anything. Just look at the Obama administration. WOrse than Forest Gump!

text: Originally from Keizer OR, I moved with my now wife to wonderful Colorado Springs CO in '97. Life's never easy for many I'm sure, but being of the selfish, self centered type, I've usually only worried about myself. Today, I try to be a little kinder, a little more 'available' to my fellow man. These times we are living in, well, they are troubling. I see many a man walking the streets and living in parks. Taking time to stop and chat with a few, I realize how wrong I am to judge my fellow man. Many of these men have degrees, families broken by circumstance. I've always seen the homeless as drug addicts and drunks, (deserving of their condition) but I find this not to be the case for most; their faculties still intact, many have just given up hope. I give thanks today, as I listen to the stories of many of these men, and relate. For I came once this way too, into a new knowledge and understanding of God and his Grace. His ever lasting love of mankind, no matter the situation. I challenge all of you to take just a moment, and pause...reflect on how you can affect another human beings life. Whether it be a donation to a charity, feeding a meal at your local Salvation Army, or just listening, get out of your comfort zone. Every 'thing' we do, effects someone directly/indirectly. One of our contests is titled "you last hour"....much to consider as I attempt this write...To all who've said hello, and to those who I've not yet met, welcome and please, excuse me now for my laymen's poems. Some very great creators on this site. God's love and Blessings, Michael Hornschuch

Despite freezing fog and icy conditions for the Donner Lake Turkey Trot this past Sunday, 240 people registered and 200 showed up to participate in the annual fundraising run.
The course, which normally travels 7 miles around Donner Lake, was altered due to the slick conditions on the shady south end of the lake.
"Despite best efforts by The Town of Truckee to clear Donner Pass Road, the ice was just too dangerous," said Race Director Sally Jones. "We brainstormed with the police department to come up with a safer solution. We had the option to close one lane on Donner Lake Road up to the freeway and back, but we decided that would be a not such a 'fun run' for the majority, so volunteers set out to pack a scenic loop in the park."
The new loop turned out to be about a half-mile in length. Runners did four laps, while youngsters in the Mashed Potato Mile did one lap. A few people decided to run the traditional course, which organizers hope to get back to next year.
Noah Brautigam of Truckee claimed the win ahead of Reno's Brandon Nied, posting a time of 10:56.7 to Nied's 11:10.1. Patrick McElravey, a senior at North Tahoe High School, finished third in 11:11.1 and was followed by Paul Koracs of Tahoe City in a time of 11:14.9 and Peter Holmes of Tahoe City, and North Tahoe High, in a time of 11:24.3.
Elizabeth Taylor of Truckee was the top woman, posting a time of 13:43.2. Tara Gallant, who recently won the individual Division III state cross-country championship for North Tahoe, was second in 14:16.8, and Regina Curry was third in 14:22.6.
Lexi Filer was the fastest girl and Max Gordon the fastest boy in the Mashed Potato Mile. Gordon posted a time of 3:59.6 and Filer 4:24.1.
All the Mashed Potato Milers received medal for their efforts, while the Turkey Trot runners were placed in a raffle for turkeys and pies.
The event, which serves as a fundraiser for Auburn Ski Club's junior Nordic teams, raised close to $2,500, Jones said.

When disaster strikes: Scam artist alert
It's time for the scam artists to show up. So before you commit to anything, stop and read this advice from the Texas Attorney General's office. Here's a link.
Price gouging can be a big problem. If Gov. Rick Perry's office declares a state disaster, significant penalties go into effect that are above and beyond regurlar violation penalties. That includes hotels.
Texas AG spokesman Tom Kelly said some penalties increase to as much as $250,000 when an elderly person has been wronged. One-time penalties are as much as $20,000 per violation for price gouging.
Here's what to look out for:
Businesses will raise their prices to take advantage of people needing bottled water, ice, groceries, towing services, home and car repairs, fuel, hotels.
Also, bogus charities show up to take advantage of the public's generosity.
Solicitors may advertise that they can get big insurance settlements for a fee.
Kelly encouraged people to file complaints on the Texas Attorney General's website, if they believe they've been approached by misleading contractors.
After Hurricane Ike there were several violations that resulted in fines from the AG's office.
After Hurricane Dolly hit South Texas in 2008, five hotels — Motel 6 in Harlingen, Best Western Las Palmas Inn in Mission, Comfort Inn in Edinburg, Comfort Inn in Pharr and the Country Hearth Inn and Suites in McAllen — entered into agreed final judgments.
Those penalties ranged from $8,000 to $26,000 plus court costs.

Live From the Artists DenGary Clark Jr. | Friday, 9 p.m.
For Grammy winner Gary Clark Jr. it was an emotional homecoming in the club he legitimately calls "home" -- Austin's legendary "Home Of The Blues," Antone's Nightclub. Clark first played Antone's as a 15-year-old obsessed with blues history and now he's both one of the most respected and revered artists in blues and R&B, and in a full-circle move, a part-owner of the club's latest iteration. His 20-song set for a crowd of 350 invited guests for the season finale of Live from the Artists Den featured songs from his 2012 breakthrough Blak and Bluand last year's genre-bending follow-up, The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim. Among the highlights of a night filled with fiery, jaw-dropping guitar heroism and bright flashes of a gorgeous falsetto, a loud, muscular take on "Bright Lights" and a supremely funky meditation on the impact of music, "The Healing."

What have you learned while working at WEIU? Coming from a very different market in Texas, I've had to quickly learn about the community that WEIU serves, and I've become very fond of it. As I've gotten to know the staff at WEIU, I've learned how dedicated they are to bringing the kind of quality television that has relevance to the community, but still entertains and stimulates viewers — no easy feat in the age of 200 channels.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? The question should be "Why wouldn't someone become a member of WEIU?" If you've ever enjoyed the wide range of programming WEIU provides; if your children or grandchildren have ever learned about letters or numbers or even social skills from the 11.5 hours of stimulating, non-violent and educational kids' programming WEIU provides each day; if you've been able to experience an opera or a Shakespearean play or a rock concert or a Broadway show that you wouldn't otherwise have had access to; if you've learned to knit or do woodworking or to cook by watching WEIU's programming, then why shouldn't you be a member of WEIU?
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Andrea? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
I support WEIU because I know that at any time, day or night we can tune in and we can count on good, quality entertainment and good wholesome programming made available to us. WEIU is what I consider to be a family friendly television station because I know that if my children or grandchildren are visiting and they enter the room where I'm watching TV, I don't have to worry about anything inappropriate being on my TV screen. I know that I can trust WEIU and I love that!

AUGUSTA – Russell Henley will miss the Masters cut today with a frustrating second-round 81 that followed his steady 72 on Thursday. But the PGA Tour rookie savored a week of thrills at Augusta National.
"It's been incredible," Henley said. "I got to play two (practice) rounds of golf with Tom Watson, one of them in the Par 3 Tournament. I definitely learned a lot from him and I'm going to be a better player because of this week, for sure."
Henley, a Charleston resident who turned 24 today, already was looking forward to next week's RBC Heritage at Hilton Head, and more Masters moments.
"I'm going to be back," the former University of Georgia All-American said. "I'm not (qualified) yet for next year, but I have a feeling I'm going to be back competing for the championship. That's something I think about every day."

NASA stuck the landing. It was a 10. Space geeks around the country cheered and hugged.
Curiosity, the latest NASA vehicle to explore Mars, hit its mark last Monday after an eight-month, 352-million-mile journey.
It also whet an appetite for space exploration that has been going since John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962.
Man has always looked to the stars and wondered.
Space exploration has unified Americans from the days we gathered around black-and-white televisions in living rooms to watch early tests on unmanned rockets. We were mesmerized when Neil Armstrong took mans first steps on the man and cheered when the damaged Apollo 13 successfully returned to Earth. We cried when the voyages of the space shuttles Columbia and Challenger ended in tragedy.
The space program mirrored what was going on in the country. Americans saw real dividends as technology developed for the space program quickly made it into our everyday lives. We as a country were a world leader in science and innovation, which some say is lacking today.
President John F. Kennedy became the nation's cheerleader for pushing space exploration when he made this famous statement:
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win ... "
But space exploration is extremely expensive.
And, last year, NASA was forced to end the space shuttle program after 30 years.
President Barack Obama's 2013 budget request calls for a 21 percent cut from NASA's planetary-science budget and 38 percent from its Mars projects.
The Olympics can unite the country but there is nothing like the chest pumping that occurred at NASA last Sunday after Curiosity successfully landed on the Red Planet. The 1-ton, six-wheeled vehicle made a grand entrance on Mars, ending what NASA called a seven-minute-plus ride of terror. It hovered over the surface of Mars and was gently lowered by cable to the ground.
The country again felt proud of its space exploration program. Brain over Olympic brawn led the headlines last week. The cost of that pride - priceless.
NASA must be given funding to continue to make us believe we are No. 1 in technology, innovation and space exploration.
So while the U.S. Olympic athletes will compete to keep us near the top of the medal count, keep in the mind the count for manned space exploration - U.S., 170; Russia; 118; China, 4.

Where people go to gain sensitivity training for gay bashing
That Grey's Anatomy guy had to go to Gayhab for outing that other guy.

Can you define these popular missing words?
An "ex-gay" ministry that tries to turn gay people straight. Not sanctioned (or trusted) by any reputable psychiatric institution.
Supposedly one week of gayhab was enough to cure Ted Haggard of his desire to do crystal meth with gay hookers.

Saturday night 5-members of the Fan Woman's Club and their spouses enjoyed a visit from Top Chef: All-Star winner Richard Blais albeit vicariously through Chef Mike Rohde. Mike says "All of the credit goes to Richard who created the dish, however, there were some challenges along the way." I actually had to make some modifications to the recipe, unfortunately the Black Cod or Sable fish was not up to par, so I had to substitute Chilean Sea Bass or Patagonian Toothfish, also a fish with a high oil content that could stand up the the recipe and take to brining. Preparation began with the Mustard Caviar, which turn out to be beyond belief and will surely find its way into more of my dishes.
I was somewhat indecisive about the recipe that I was going to prepare for the Fan Woman's Club Progressive Dinner, and annual event in Richmond's Historic Fan District in Richmond, Virginia. I have been a long-time followers of both Top Chef and Richard Blais' career and have learned a great deal from his two TV shows were he use science or molecular gastronomy to challenge stand methodology.
While I have become a BIG sous vide cook, I thought I would keep my dish a bit on the simple side, although I doubt that many of the diners here will be taking on any of Richard's dishes.
I had finally settled on braising either beef or pork, but was not sure of what. It was only last week that I watched the final episode of Top Chef: All-Stars and when I saw the dish Pork Belly, Black Cod Cutlet, Bone Marrow, Beets, Brussels Sprouts & Kumquat. I figured Richard is from new York so if Richard can do it I should be able to do it as well after all its in the water in NY. Its a great dish and I would highly recommend any serious cook to give it a try.
Richard, if your ever in Richmond Virginia stop by so I can say thanks, for myself and the other diners!
Here is a link to my final version of the dish.

Who doesn't LOVE a good chicken enchilada!! These look fantastically delicious!!! It's on the menu for later this week, thanks!!ReplyDelete
Yum!! I needed a good idea for this week's dinner menu and I love enchiladas. I usually make them with beef and a red sauce but this looks fantastic!ReplyDelete
I made a this recipe this weekend... Well one that was nearly identical. I swapped out the sour cream for nonfat Greek plain yogurt. It was awesome! It was a lovely replacement. I also added zucchini & spinach to the chicken & the family loved it. I recently saw another enchilada recipe with veggies in with the chicken & was inspired. This recipe adapted well to those changes.ReplyDelete
Hi Brandy! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe! Can't wait to give it a try! Blessings from Bama!ReplyDelete
This looks really, really delicious!ReplyDelete
Bran, I made enchiladas last week that were very similar to these ones! I normally like the red enchilada sauce, but the green chili sauce was divine! I think I may be a green chili sauce convert for good! Your pics are making me crave them all over again :)ReplyDelete
Yeah Baby! This is definitely MY kind of dish. I so agree with you about the red sauce on enchiladas...give me white all the way!! This sounds soo delicious. Mexican is my favorite ethnic dish...and with white sauce...HA CHA CHANYA!!!ReplyDelete
I have been on a Mexican kick. We went out for Mexican Saturday night and I had shrimp fajitas that I am still craving more of. Those enchiladas look like they are right up my alley!ReplyDelete
Hey Brandie! This looks like a yummy and easy recipe! I especially like the tip about shredding the chicken. Now, I'm from Texas and you really threw me when your recipe called for "soft taco shells". I'd never heard of them! Well, of course I figured it out from the pictures...we call 'em tortillas! thanks for a great recipe.ReplyDelete
We call them tortillas here in AZ too. BUT, remember, flour tortillas come in soft taco size, fajita size and burrito size. A few stores here even have snack size ones that are like 4 inches in diameter.Delete
I LOVE enchiladas but my kids don't like the red sauce. What a GREAT compromise! Can't wait to make these :)ReplyDelete
These look SO good. You're my hero! Definitely bookmarked!ReplyDelete
We made these tonight and were delicious but the taco shells were soggy on the bottom. Is there a way to keep that from happening.ReplyDelete
I normally see white corn tortillas being used in this recipe, the flour ones will get soggy unfortunately. Hope this helps ;)Delete
My family hasn't ever eatin enchiladas. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It has ingredients that I can get here or substitute or make my own. I am so excited!ReplyDelete
Anonymous - I'm glad to hear you liked the taste. The only suggestion I have would be to thicken the sauce a bit. Maybe add a bit of cream cheese to make it thicker?? Maybe someone on here will have another good suggestion for you :)ReplyDelete
So glad you shared my blog! Thank you. :). Send your fans my direction anytime.
This is always my fall back recipe when serving a crowd or new guests. It is so so yummy. I really like creamy foods and I especially love green chillies.
Joyful Momma
Thanks for stopping by Church Supper and sharing this yummy recipe, Brandie! Have a blessed week and hope to see you again next Sunday ~EMMReplyDelete
Visiting from Church Supper. These look so good. Wish I had the stuff to make them right this minute. I love mexican dishes. I will be trying this one soon. Thanks for a great recipe.ReplyDelete
Yummy! I have a very similar recipe I've been using for years. The only difference is we use cream of chicken soup for the sauce rather than the roux. Much creamier and you don't have to turn on the stove! :)ReplyDelete
I honestly didn't have high expectations for this recipe because it seemed too simple...well, a big "duh" to me! It was so incredibly delicious and flavorful. Unfortunately, we all loved it and there weren't any leftovers to look forward to.
I should have known better than to doubt one of your recipes. I have been following your blog for the past few months and have tried dozens of your recipes. They've all been winners and I can't thank you enough!
Brandi, just wanted to tell you I am fixing these Again!! My family LOVES them! I do not tell you enough.... THANK YOU for another great dinner!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much Crystal & Theresa!! So thrilled to hear y'all like this recipe. It means so much to me when someone takes time out of their day to leave me a comment. I really do appreciate it and am so thankful!ReplyDelete
I made these tonight for supper and oh my! These are awesome & they beat out any other enchilada recipe I have ever fixed! And my teens loved'em too! 2 thumbs up :)ReplyDelete
This was the best!! My family loved this. Thank Iu so much for sharing this with us:-) looking now for more recipes to try from ur site.ReplyDelete
I'm a college student, and this recipe was so easy to make for myself and my roommate! It's on the menu for a dinner party tonight too!ReplyDelete
I made this tonight and used cream of chicken instead of chicken stock. It came out really creamy and didn't make it soggy. I added a little milk to thin out the sauce. I also added a half of a pack of ranch mix to the sauce and it made it so tasty!ReplyDelete
Had to check this recipe out because it looks so similar to one I've been making for years; and it's indeed very similar! Two differences...Mine uses corn tortillas, and enough soft cream cheese and sour cream is mixed into the chicken filling to make it creamy. My favorite enchilada recipe!
Do you think that this recipe could be frozen and used later as a freezer meal? What do you think?ReplyDelete
not a good one to freeze as when it thaws the tortillas WILL get soggy. I made up a batch early in the day as I had appointments at the time I normally make dinner and they even turned out a little on the soggy side.
These enchiladas were really good! They were quick and easy to make. The only addition I made was to saute' some frest mushrooms and 1/2 of an onion in a couple of tablespoons of butter. Then I added that to the chicken and cheese and followed the recipe as was written. Oh, and I used the new green oinon flavored Ranch mix. Thanks for a great recipe!ReplyDelete
Such a yummy recipe! My husband is not a fan of Mexican food and he gobbled these right up!! I want to make a double batch but don't know about freezing the sauce... Do you think I should make that fresh when I prepare them? Thanks!!ReplyDelete
Absolutely delicious!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!ReplyDelete
Thank you so very much!! So happy you like this one! ~BrandieReplyDelete
I made this Friday night & my family LOVED it even my very picky 6 year old ate it. Easy to make I actually messed up the sauce but it was still good.ReplyDelete
Now that is a big compliment when the picky eater loves something! Thank you for letting me know how it turned out!Delete
I just made this and it.is.delish!!!! Thank you for the recipe! (:ReplyDelete
Thank you Lolly Jane! You were so sweet to take the time to let me know how it turned out!Delete
Thanks for this recipe Brandie! Just took it out of the oven & had my first bite. Will def be making this again soon! :)ReplyDelete
This recipe is a keeper! It's been requested multiple times already! LOVE it!ReplyDelete
Awesome Enchilada recipe! My family of 5 says to make this at least once a week! It's a Winner even for my picky kids ages 4-10. Thank you for sharing. :)ReplyDelete
I added chicken rice a roni with a half a onion sauteed in the rice. And instead of using all water I used half green enchilada sauce half water ( for the rice) similar to how I make my own but with the white sauce. they came out amazing. I highly recommend it.ReplyDelete
Love your twist on it! Sounds so good!Delete
I've made so many of your recipes and of course, have LOVED all of them! You are nothing short of genius! I am planning on making these this weekend, but my husband doesn't like sour cream. Is it ok to use yogurt in a recipe like this? Thanks Brandie!!
Hi Michelle! What a sweet comment! Thank you so very much. I am so thrilled you have liked the recipes you've tried so far. I think you could get away with using yogurt. Just go with your regular ole plain unsweetened yogurt. Or Greek yogurt would probably work too. I would love to know how it turns out for ya!Delete
Brandie...I made this last night and it was so delicious. The greek yogurt worked great! Thanks so much! MichelleDelete
Hubby, oldest son & I love those Stouffer's chicken enchiladas in white sauce you can buy in the frozen food section. Really expensive and not enough to go around. Decided to try your recipe and oh my! These are so good! Better than the Stouffer's. We had them for dinner last night and oldest son asked me to make them again tonight! Only thing different I did was used corn tortillas rather than the flour taco shells. A bit more work as you have to dip the tortillas in the sauce before you put the chicken in and roll it up (messier too!) but they came out really well. I was thinking about adding rice to the bottom of the pan and putting the enchildas on top but honestly it doesn't need it. We will definately be adding this to our dinner rotation! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hi Suzie! Thank you so much! And it's good to know that the corn tortillas worked out well for you too. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know :)Delete
Another good way to soften corn tortillas for rolling is to steam them. I do this by putting a splatter screen over a skillet of water and doming it with a lid. I put the tortillas on a coffee filter and in just a short period of time I can roll them. WAY LESS MESS!! I always allow steam to build up before I put the first one in.
These were a big hit with my family! I did use a half and half mixture of Plain Greek yogurt and sour cream and added about 1/4 cup Green Salsa Verde to the sauce....Mmmm! This was my first "Mexican" recipe to make, and it's a definite keeper! Thanks for the inspiration to try new things.ReplyDelete
I am not a big fan of enchiladas because I don't care for red sauce and corn tortillas, but everyone else in my house loves them. I made these for dinner last week and they were a HUGE hit with everyone and I even loved them. I will definitely be making these again!ReplyDelete
O.M.G. SO good! Like a lot of people, I don't like red sauce and corn tortillas associated with enchiladas. EVERYONE in my house loved these and I am sure I will be making them again.ReplyDelete
I made these a couple of weeks ago and they were really good; however, I think the chicken needed something extra. I think I may add some beans or extra chilies next time. I will definitely be making them again.ReplyDelete
I make these all the time. A wonderful substitution if you really enjoy spicy food is pepperjack for the jack.ReplyDelete
Just had these for dinner. Delicious! Your page is my new "go to" when I'm looking for something new. No disappointments here. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Love everything I have fixed from your page! Fixing this tonight, sounds yummy!
These are great tasting, only thing I didn't like was the soft texture off the tortilla after they were cooked with the sauce. I am of Hispanic descent and traditionally enchiladas are made with corn tortilla, however you must soften them a little bit by placing the corn tortilla in a pan of hot oil on each side so that it is soft enough to roll up. This can be tedious and time consuming. Next time I try this recipe I will definitely try with corn tortillas and some chopped cilantro sprinkled on top. Thanks for the great recipe.ReplyDelete
I add corn to mine. My kids and the hubby love this meal.ReplyDelete
I've got to try this asap. Finally a recipe without a can of cream of nasty soup.ReplyDelete
I'm wondering if i can make this ahead of time and freeze it?ReplyDelete
Made these tonight. They are so delicious! I forgot to buy green chilies so I used salsa in the sauce. Thanks for another awesome recipe.
I made these last night and what can I say not OMG! My husband asked me to make them again, which he has never done with the other enchilada recipes I've tried in the past. These are much better than the recipes I've tried using the cream of chicken soup! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Ha ha. Edit on my post above. That should have been 'and what can I say but OMG', not 'not OMG'! These are seriously good enchiladas!ReplyDelete
Question- Do you drain the can of green chilies before you pour them into the pot? These look soooo yummy and I can't wait to make them for my hubby!ReplyDelete
Made these enchiladas last night. I wish I could include a picture, as they turned out just as described. Everyone loved them. The part that I appreciated the most, strangely enough, was learning the kitchen aid chicken shredding trick. That was awfully handy, and very effective.ReplyDelete
These are fantastic and I am so pleased to have found your site. We thoroughly enjoyed these and will make them over and over again. ThanksReplyDelete
Afternoon Brandie!
About the red sauce........ Giada has a lovely recipe for Marinara Sauce.
Now she calls for 32(oz) of canned tomatoes, but I put the same weight in of fresh Roma Tomatoes.
So Good! Roma's are mostly flesh so that you aren't getting the acid. I use the crockpot to make it.
Hope you try it and let me know how it was.
The only thing I would change in this casserole is
the chilies (allergic) and would put in some chopped Roma tomatoes.
Have a Joyful Day :~D
Love the ease of these....and they look delicious!ReplyDelete

It always amazes me when people criticize the local fire department. These people risk their lives and risk injury when they respond to a fire. It's usually people who never volunteer for anything who do the criticizing.
As far as the recent fire that occurred in Wellsville, they should have waited 10 or 15 minutes longer. There isn't a single rational person in town who didn't cheer when those buildings burned down. It's just too bad there is still part of one building standing. Now guaranteed that structure will remain until (heck) freezes over. Too bad they couldn't have waited a few more minutes to respond.
Our fire department is second to none, they always do a great job. People should show respect for what these people do for everyone in this town. Nobody should ever criticize the great service they do for this community.

Watch a Video about Unitarian Universalism
Download "Voices of a Liberal Faith" (MP4).
If you would like to learn more about Unitarian Universalism, you may enjoy watching our video, "Voices of a Liberal Faith."
In this video, members and ministers share their thoughts on worship and fellowship, explain the goals of religious education, explore the historic roots of our religion, and celebrate the spirit of social justice that inspires our faith.
LES POLGAR: People often say that we've always been Unitarian Universalists, but we just didn't know what to call it.
SUE POLGAR: We were mixed marriage, Jewish and congregationalist. And we just tried Unitarianism. And we came for our children, and we stayed for ourselves.
Voices of a Liberal Faith
MO KASHMIRI: I grew up in Texas to a Muslim community. And so a lot of the community life was centered around the mosque. I feel like with Unitarian Universalism, I'm able to get that really strong and important, I think, feeling of building beloved community.
ELIZABETH ANDREASON: Everyone here knows who I am. They know who the woman I've been in a relationship with 15 years is. They appreciate that relationship, and they respect it. And I'm encouraged to come and be me. And that is the first place I've ever been able to be me.
Unitarian Universalists
REV. BARBARA HAMILTON-HOLWAY: I invite you to join me in appreciating the unspeakable beauty of what happens here, week after week.
RACHEL HOLT: When people ask me what is Unitarian Universalism, I like to pull out the first principle of the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
REV. GREG STEWART: We have a spectrum, theologically, that runs from Christianity and Judaism to atheism, agnosticism.
ADDISON GWINNER: We're not the kind of church that says, if you don't believe in our God, you're going to hell.
REV. BILL HAMILTON-HOLWAY: People, who come out of the variety of faiths, can come together here knowing that their particular way of understanding, truth, and meaning will be appreciated and accepted.
REV. SHANA LYNNGOOD: This is a place where you're welcome, where you're invited into a fuller relationship with yourself, with the spirit of life, with other people, to build a better world and to build a better you.
JODI THARAN: You walk in the door, and it's like, hi, who are you? Come in. And immediately, you feel that you have inherent worth as a person.
CORDELIA LEONCIO: It's just the most amazing thing to be nourished, body and soul, by a community.
BRAD ELLER: People in my generation, they'll say their spiritual, but they're not religious. They don't like organized religion. And the UUA Church, I mean, yeah, it's a church, but it's non-creed oriented. It's open. It's welcoming.
JODI THARAN: I can bring my atheist mother here and my Catholic ex-husband and my modern orthodox-trained Jewish children. And we're just all loved.
REV. GREG STEWART: This liberal religious tradition has a very distinctive message. And it is attracting people that haven't been hearing it elsewhere.
SUE POLGAR: It was liberating. It was freeing. It was challenging. All those things that I was looking for in a religious place and a religious community.
Religious Education for All Ages
VALERIE GWINNER: Once you start to have children, it's nice to have someone else trying to teach them similar moral values. It's really nice to have it reinforced by a community in which you feel comfortable. And you feel like these values are truly shared and important.
JENNIFER WEBB: My oldest is now third grade. And so she is starting to get into more of the conversations about social justice, about neighboring faiths, about what other people believe, about starting to identify what is important to her and what is her beacon.
ADDISON GWINNER: We believe in community outreach and helping us become better by helping the community.
REV. VAIL WELLER: In Unitarian Universalism, we have a responsibility which is to provide people the opportunity to do the work that it takes to figure out what their beliefs are.
REV. DAN HARPER: We also want them to have respect for the interdependent web of all existence. So that will be a part of our religious education. We want them to have respect for themselves and for their bodies. So we do do comprehensive sexuality education with children, which we feel is a part of their spiritual growth.
ANIKA HERTEL-THERRIEN: It gives you a whole new perspective of how other people think and how other people feel. And I think it just makes you a nicer person.
JENN MCADOO: The trend, more recently, is for us to name our religious education, lifespan faith development, because we recognize that it's a process that occurs throughout our lives, regardless of our age and stage.
Our History of Religious Freedom
REV. DAVID SAMMONS: One of the things that people don't understand about our movement is that it does really have a very rich historical past, not only roots that go back to the beginning of the Reformation in Europe and a very rich history in the United States, in Colonial America.
GINI COURTER: I think what I want folks in our congregations to know is that if there's a candidate for the great American faith, it is us. Take a look at who signed the Declaration of Independence, and you see our names there. Three of the first six American presidents were Unitarian. And I'm pretty proud of the country that we helped build.
REV. BILL CLARK: This faith, the more I learn about it and discover, is ingrained in the values that the American Constitution was put together with. It's about acceptance and tolerance and liberty and freedom to believe. I think it's inherent in who we are as citizens of this country.
REV. DAVID SAMMONS: Most of the idea of Universalism, although it had some roots in England, is really indigenous to our own country—very simple, plain folks, mostly farmers and tradespeople, who really did believe that a loving God wouldn't damn people to hell. Unitarians, although they also believed in a benevolent God, put more stress on what William Ellery Channing called character. He called it salvation by character. He said what matters isn't what you believe, it's how you live your life. And Ralph Waldo Emerson and all those other luminaries of the 19th century and the Unitarian side of our movement made that kind of assertion.
CHRIS WALTON: For both the Unitarians and Universalists, people in the Church had a moral obligation to reform society. And so it wasn't simply about getting your soul right with God, it really had very much to do with helping your society live up to its highest principles. So by the mid-20th century, the Unitarians and Universalists saw that they had more and more in common. And in 1961, they formed the Unitarian Universalist Association and brought their two traditions together.
Putting Our Faith Into Action
REV. GREG STEWART: Our philosophy is be out into the world six days a week, and then come in here and tell us how that informs your faith.
REV. DONALD ROBINSON: We are about trying to improve the conditions in which a lot of people live and make the world and our community a much better place.
CHRIS WALTON: The Unitarian Universalists sent more ministers to Selma to join Martin Luther King in the civil rights march then than any other denomination.
JALIKA STREET: That's one of the things I love about my church is that activism and social justice are a part of the principles, but then they are really lived out.
MO KASHMIRI: Fighting classism, sexism, homophobia, working on environmental justice—really creating the world we want to create.
GINI COURTER: I think that there are folks who are coming to us right now in larger and larger numbers because they're looking for faiths that really respect the earth and have a stake in the environmental movement. And that's always been one of our values.
REV. WILLIAM G. SINKFORD: Our elected leaders will be able to hear us if we can speak from our hearts.
MEREDITH SCHONFIELD-HICKS: We're really trying to move forward as a congregation or as a community. And so it's really exciting to be a part of something that is very progressive and that is engaged and active.
JUDITH BAUER: This church, from its inception, has been interested in changing the world.
REV. GREG STEWART: "I don't have a minute to hate," she cried. "I'll pursue justice for the rest of my life."May we go and do likewise.
Celebrate with Us
REV. SHANA LYNNGOOD: If you want a tradition, a religious tradition that respects you and challenges you at the same time to be your best self in everything you do in your life, then this is the tradition for you.
REV. WILLIAM G. SINKFORD: Let us commit ourselves to living out our theology. Let us celebrate being part of a reasonable and a passionate faith. A faith that requires us to engage deeply with moral questions. This work is difficult. And the discoveries will be different for each of us. But we must always remember that it is through our most human quality, the ability to love, that we can touch the divine. So may it be. And And amen.

My wife very often makes such an excellent exercising : she likes to receive lots of them, up to ten or more, before swallowing. I love to kiss my wife when her mouth is filled, in order to share the cum that we always do like swallow together.
just wished my bf could cum as much as some of these guys
4.25 looks like pva glue
who is second to last
The first girl gives the best full cum in the mouth cumshot I've seen. She keeps the spunk load in her mouth a while and plays with it on her tongue. Great camera work with the first girl. So good you can see all her dental work with cum on it. Finally she swallows the big thick load of cum and then shows you her empty mouth to show she swallowed everything.
