LAKEPORT -- A Kelseyville man accused of attempted murder will return to court next month for a hearing on his mental competency after a judge allowed the parties more time to review doctors' evaluations Tuesday afternoon.
Andrew James Serrano faces 10 felonies and four misdemeanors for an alleged pattern of harassment against his estranged wife, culminating in her being beaten and another man being shot in September 2011.
Serrano, 40, denied wrongdoing, but defense counsel Mitchell Hauptman declared doubt about Serrano's competency Oct. 23. The court subsequently appointed two doctors to evaluate the defendant.
A hearing on the mental evaluations was supposed to take place Tuesday, but Judge Robert L. Crone Jr. continued the matter into next year to allow the attorneys more time to review the reports.
The judge ordered Serrano to appear Jan. 8 at the Lake County Courthouse for the pending hearing.
Serrano remains in custody at the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility.

Has it really been since before Christmas that I've posted here? Wow, I need to get my rear in gear.
I haven't been writing much lately, but I do have a new devotion to share with you today at Jewels of Encouragment. The original title was Disposable, but when it came time to type it in the Blogger "title" block, I thought about what I wanted you to "take away", and typed Indisposable instead. Click through and tell me if I made the right choice, even though spellchecker says it's not a word. :)

I have a small flat scar below my knee, like a little cut about 6mm long, I didn't protect it from the sun and now it is darker than the rest of my skin, almost purple. Is there anyway to lighten it? It's about 6 months old.
Scar Darkened by Sun?
Doctor Answers 3
The scar needs to be evaluated by a plastic surgeon. A raised and purple scar sounds like a hypertrophic scar
Treatment of dark and purplish scar on the knee and leg
I would use a combination of laser scar removal plus Melarase PM for the dark discoloration and scarring.

Dark Scar Removal
Hi. Yes, we would use either q-switched lasers or high strength hydroquinone. A key issue is whether there has been a textural change to the skin.
We are also in Los Angeles and we offer a free consultation. Try the link below for more pictures of scar revision.

Fridayâ''s New York Times repeated the oft-toldâ''and in this case trueâ''story of Ethan Nicholas, who developed a killer iphone app, iShoot, made $800,000 in five months, and quit his job at Sun Microsystems to work on iphone apps full time. He followed in the footsteps of Steve Demeter, who reported that he made $250,000 in two months with Trism, a color-matching puzzle.
While the vast majority of iPhone apps will make their developers pocket change at best, not life-changing millions, you have to think that these success stories will inspire more than a few of the tech savvy to head to their basements/garages/home offices/dining room tables and try to be the next Nicholas or Demeter.
And Stanford University has decided to help. The school just started posting videos of its popular 10-week course, iPhone Application Programming, online for free at Stanfordâ''s iTunes U. Videos will go up two days after each live class.

My Thoughts: My friend Libby and I agree that this is perhaps one of the best children's books ever. I didn't like scary stories when I was younger but I loved this. Maybe because even though it was suspenseful and mysterious, it never felt threatening.

Expanded coverage
It took one game last fall to show that Legacy High rising junior LJ McMorris has the potential to be one of Southern Nevada's top running backs.
His exploits three weeks ago hammered home that theory.
The 5-foot-7, 160-pound McMorris ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash at the Southern Nevada Football Coaches Association Combine in early May, displaying the same breakaway speed that helped him become the biggest star last fall in arguably the most important game of Legacy's brief four-year school history.
McMorris, a reserve behind all-Northwest Division tailback DeShae Edwards, was called into duty midway through Legacy's crucial league game against Palo Verde when Edwards injured his ankle. He responded with 84 rushing yards and a 9-yard touchdown run with four minutes remaining to lead the Longhorns to a historic 7-6 victory.
The win helped put an exclamation mark on Legacy's undefeated regular season and Northwest title. The Longhorns eventually won their first playoff game in school history in advancing to the Sunset Regional semifinals.
McMorris, however, appears to be just getting started. The speed he displayed at the combine showed what the final two years could have in store.
"He's still a little inexperienced, but he has the talent," Legacy coach Dave Snyder said. "That speed is legit."
McMorris' time was the second fastest at the combine, which was open to athletes at each of the valley's 30-plus large division schools. Roughly 150 athletes participated, five being clocked at 4.5 seconds or less in the 40-yard dash.
Palo Verde's Brandon Wright, a talented running back and defensive back with scholarship offers from the likes of Colorado and Arizona, recorded the fastest time at 4.37 seconds.
That puts McMorris in some exclusive company. Well, almost.
"Now, I need to get bigger and stronger," McMorris said.
McMorris finished the season with 493 yards and three touchdowns, receiving plenty of varsity-level carries as Edwards' backup. Edwards was one of the valley's top rushers with 1,511 yards and 16 touchdowns.
Snyder doesn't expect the running game to miss a beat with McMorris as the featured back.
"He can play with the best of them," the coach said. "We always make fun of him, saying he was running for his life (against Palo Verde). Whatever the case, he was running fast."
McMorris has been busy this offseason trying to add bulk to his compact frame in anticipation of the added workload. He is one of several talented younger players Snyder is counting on to replace 30 seniors from last year's team.
"It is very difficult replacing 30 seniors, I don't care who you are," Snyder said. "We have some young talent, but we are going to take our lumps at the beginning."
McMorris doesn't lack confidence in his abilities. He said he feels Legacy's trip to the semifinals last fall was just the beginning.
"I expect the upcoming season to be an amazing year," he said. "I plan on going to the playoffs again, but this time going further. You can see in spring ball that we have the talent. Don't sleep on us."

Troparion — Tone 2
When You did descend to death, O Life Immortal, / You did slay hell with the splendor of Your Godhead, / And when from the depths You did raise the dead, / All the Powers of Heaven cried out, / O Giver of Life, Christ our God, glory to You!
Kontakion — Tone 6
He who shut in the depths is beheld dead, / Wrapped in fine linen and spices. / The Immortal One is laid in a tomb as a mortal man. / The women have come to anoint Him with myrrh, / Weeping bitterly and crying: / "This is the most blessed Sabbath / On which Christ has fallen asleep to rise on the third day!"
Virginmartyr Pelagia of Tarsus, in Asia Minor
Troparion — Tone 3
Through your knowledge of the Faith you abandoned the darkness of ignorance, / fairest virgin of Christ. / You were refreshed by dew and finished your contest by fire. / Glorious martyr Pelagia, / entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy!
Kontakion — Tone 2
Abandoning your mortal betrothed in order to wed the Immortal One, / as your dowry you offered chastity and your contest. / Therefore, we acclaim you, Pelagia.

Memories of Union Chapel & Roberson School
Clifford Harris Byrd
Those were the days and I didn't realize it then, but as I look back on them now, they were the greatest. If I had had known how great they were going to be, I would have made a lot more memories so I could have written a book about them now. I might even have published it. Ha.
Walking wasn't crowded in those days. We rode our shanks ponies to school and wore out a lot of shoe leather. When the weather was good, we took our time, especially coming home from school. We ran, hollered, jumped all the ditches and had to throw rocks at every fence post and tree on the way home, even at a horse or cow some times. Of course, the county furnished us with rocks when they spread them on the pike road.
The fields and woods were sprinkled with little white rocks. In the winter time we would throw snow balls at each other or stuff snow down some ones back. The girls didn't appreciate that. On the way home from school we passed the church on the right and the next road on the left was the road that went over the hill to Oscar Hammond's place. Next we passed the lane that went up to Rob and Hattie Cole's place on the left. Arthur and Roman Knight would cut across the field at the church and take a short cut home. The King children would usually take the short cut home too.
One day on the way home from school, Clinton Byrd and Leonard Laswell got into a scuffle which ended up in the thicket on the right side of the road. It ended up as they were rolling around on the ground when Clinton found a puffball and covered Leonard's face with black powder. We walked on as if nothing had happened. At the Cole farm, we parted ways with Russell Goldman (Hattie's son) as we cut across the field to the old barn. Hattie made delicious cookies. Some times Russell would give us some leftover cookies from his lunch pail. I always felt safe when Russell was around since he was bigger and older. Clinton liked taking care of problems, but I was afraid and usually ended up striking back which sometimes caused more problems.
About nineteen and thirty-five when I was eleven years old, things began to change. Lucille Luff became a "magnet" to me. You know what I mean; I was kindly struck on her. She caused butterflies to flutter in my stomach when I knew there wasn't a single one in there. We would sit in the choir with our arms folded across our chest and hold hands. Can you believe that? It's the truth, just ask her. One day while running through the woods near the school, I got tired and returned to the school grounds where I found my "heart throb" with that old "rascal" Farrell Roberson. Little did I know that my mother would end up marrying her uncle, Lester Benham in nineteen and thirty six. That was one way getting her in the family with out her asking me to marry her. Because my Mother married Lester, that meant good by to the Roberson School and Hello to Mifflin, Indiana. At the last Benham Family Reunion, I let Lucille know that she broke my heart. O, the things that might have been. Ha.
The years flew by swiftly. There was a war to be fought. We put away our marbles, tops, slingshots, popguns and other games that filled our spare moments in life. Those things that bound us together as friends, we put on the shelf of our memories of life. It seems strange and precious now as we take them off the shelf and look at them again. When we share them with one another, they become fresh in our mind as if they only happened last week and we wonder why we didn't enjoy them as much then as now. I guess it's because, who among us can play jail base, ante over, run the hills and hollers, jump the ditches, throw snow balls or even little white rocks without loosing an arm or at least throwing it out of joint? Isn't it wonderful to travel back in time and to enjoy remembering our friends? The best memories are those of family and friends. Isn't that what it is all about?
In my mind, I can still run, jump ditches, throw rocks and snow balls, but my body won't co-operate with my mind. I'm not sure if my joints would let me sit in the choir, cross my arms and hold my wife's hand or not. During the war, I was in the Air Force. Fortunately, I was not around any of the fighting. I had the time of my life in the Islands, East Indies, and the Philippines. Those times at the recitation bench, class exercises and all the interaction among my friends at the Roberson School and the Church helped to prepare me for my time in the service. I was pretty good with the trombone and got to play in many parades, even down Collins Avenue at Miami Beach, retreats and everywhere, except the chow hall. At Morati Island and the East Indies, the music in the 13th AAF band was too much for someone from a Wesleyan background. There was an opening from the 3rd dance band to a statistical unit and I jumped at it. IBM machines replaced the "horn". I finished the last of WWII in a statistical unit attached to the FEAF (Far Eastern Air Force).
It has been good for me to reminisce about the good old days. I'm feeling better already. I think I might be able to throw a rock or two if my joints would co-operate with my mind. To be honest I doubt if I could hit the side of a barn, even if I was on the inside of it. Thanks to all my teachers, "I love you Mrs. Reasor". I don't know how he did it, but it seemed that W.W. Jones knew everything, or maybe it was because I knew so little. Thanks to all my Sunday school Teachers at the Union Chapel Church and thanks to all the preachers and evangelists that preached the Bible to me. They didn't do it all in vain.
Today, I'm a better man for having attended Roberson School and the Chapel Church. I appreciate all the good Christians who lived a good Christian life before me. Their example gave me something to strive for. And last, but not least, I thank God for giving me a good long life and for so many friends of which you are a part. I'm looking forward to reading your memories too. Clifford H. Byrd, 350 E. Jackson St., Apt. 104, Orlando, FL. 32801

Union Chapel and Roberson School! They bring back memories of my boyhood days on the farm with my Batman Grandparents. Clifford and I grew up there because our father died when we were very young and mother, Lela Batman Byrd went to work at the hospital in Evansville. Ben and Minnie Batman had raised nine children before we got there. They had also raised some others, so I always considered myself number thirteen.
Everyone called them Pa and Ma so Clifford and I called them Pa and Ma also. Pa was the unofficial lay leader and janitor for Union Chapel. He always kept three big lanterns for the church and every week we helped clean and fill the lanterns which were used for the Thursday evening prayer meeting and Sunday evening service. On those nights we walked carefully to church, carrying the lanterns so we would not break a mantle. Clifford and I were pretty small, but Pa always let us help carry everything. We also would go down to the church with Pa and Ma to help clean and get ready for a service.
We had an interesting mix of people who attended Union Chapel in the twenties and thirties. Most people had a membership in a church elsewhere, but came to Union chapel because it was in the neighborhood. We had Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists and other denominations; everyone was welcome. Ma always had a lot of people in to eat after church on Sunday. If we had a visiting pastor, often from Asbury College, Pa was sure to bring him home for Sunday dinner. There were two people I can remember always being there, even if there was no other company; Willie May (Mays) and Charlie Engleman. Willie May lived in a little cabin behind my grandfather's farm and he made delicious rhubarb pies. I always heard that he was part Indian. His wife had died before I can remember so he was always a welcomed guest at Ma's table. Charlie Engleman was a bachelor and he had cancer for many years. I can remember when he would come to church with his face bandaged. He was very poor, but many people were in those days. When he died, the county allowed $25 for a casket and funeral. I remember going to the funeral at Union Chapel and he was buried there in the church cemetery; I doubt if there was ever a marker. It worried my mother because his casket was plain wood with no lining, but Pa said he "allowed that Willie was not concerned about the kind of box he had."
I remember so much about Roberson School, yet when I started to analyze my years there, they only add up to four. I was in school in Mifflin one year, and in Grantsburg two years before high school in English. I guess my Roberson School years left a big impression because that was the period of time I spent on the farm with my Grandparents. Helen Riser was my first grade teacher. She was young and I was very much in love with her for the first three months. Then on December 1st (which was my birthday) she put me in 2nd grade. I had started school with the entire first reader memorized and my astute teacher soon realized I would never learn unless I had to work. So my birthday present was a move to the second reader and my life of ease ended.
For the rest of my school years, W.W. Jones was the teacher, people in the community called him Will. He must have had the patience of a saint. I say this because I can remember how he would take us out to the woods to hunt for a Christmas tree, which we would cut and carry into the school building to decorate. Can you believe, one teacher keeping track of 55 kids running all through the woods? That wouldn't happen today. When we finally selected a tree, it could not be cut down until we all agreed that it was the perfect one. Fifty-five kids being in agreement; that in itself was quite an accomplishment.
Will Jones had another great idea; he let us vote on the length of our lunch hour. In spring and fall, when there was daylight for longer periods, we usually voted for an hour lunch period so we could enjoy the out of doors. But in the winter, when it got dark so early, we ate quickly so we could be out of school sooner and home before dark. Did we really make those decisions, or did Will Jones manipulate us into thinking it was our decision. Anyway, I can remember that we would vote.
We were a pretty active bunch of kids when we were outside. Our entertainment came from simple games that did not use props. After all, Roberson School did not have athletic equipment. There was "ante-over", Red Rover, kick the can and others that I have forgotten. There was no teacher directing our play time. We chose up sides, and the entire school, first through eighth grade, usually played together. Naturally the younger ones were the last to be picked, but that did not make you feel bad because you knew that some day you would be one of the big ones. I was pretty small for my age and probably was always last for Red Rover. But the big kids took care of me. Always, a big girl would get on one side and a big boy on the other and when someone ran our direction they would move in close so no one could break through and hurt me.
We all had chores and kids always thought it was an honor to help. Everyday the blackboards were washed clean with a bucket of water that was carried in. And the erasers had to be dusted daily. That was accomplished by carrying them outside and beating them on rocks. The water for washing blackboards and for drinking came from the Goldman farm across the road. It was fun to draw that duty. You took the bucket over to the well and then made your way back to the school without too many spills. The water for drinking was poured into a big crock with a spigot and each child had their own tin mug to use when they needed to draw out a drink of good cold well water.
Do you remember the church chowders? I always looked forward to those events. We used Henry Balding's big kettle. I wish I could see that kettle today to see if it was as large as I remember it. Henry was always in charge; after all it was his kettle. Someone would butcher a beef and the men would start the meat cooking very early in the day. Then people would eventually arrive with contributions of vegetables. Tables were set up all over the grove and the people would gather in family groups. One person from a family would go up to the chowder kettle and get a bucket of soup which he carried back and ladled out to his family members. It was always the best thing I ever ate.
Children's Day at Union Chapel was perhaps the biggest holiday when I was a small boy, probably because it came at a good time of the year for everyone to gather outside. We always had a stage built beside the church. Since I was young I did not take part in the stage building, but I think whoever had some extra lumber just brought it in for the day and everyone pitched in to build the stage. All of the children had parts to recite and it was more anticipated and looked forward to both by children and parents, than any Broadway production would have been.
I mentioned the fact that Ma usually had extra folks in for dinner after church. Pa loved to talk so he was fond of inviting people. Rob and I Hattie Cole were frequent guests and so were Oscar and Rosie Hammond. The family that Clifford and I liked to see arriving was the Luffs, Willard and Lela Luff had lots of kids; Myrl Luff was probably the closest to my age. I thought about Myrl just a few weeks ago while watching the 2000 Olympics from Sidney, Australia. After dinner, the kids would go outside to play and if it was cold or rainy we always went to the barn. There, the favorite activity would be climbing high up into the rafters and jumping down on the hay. We were only nine or ten years old but no one seemed to worry about us. Myrl, even though she was wearing a skirt would always be right up in the top with all of the boys. When it was her turn to jump, she would lean down, clasp her long skin around her ankles and roll off of the rafter head first. She could turn two somersaults in the air before she hit the hay. Today, she might have been on an Olympic team.
There is a picture of the 1941 Union Chapel Bible School. I am not in the picture, neither is Clifford. In fact, if you study the picture, there are no older boys. I was working in New Albany and I am sure the others were also employed on farms or in industry by that time. So the girls had to get along without us. I went to Bible school when I was younger, and my mother or Martha Miller would be the teacher. Martha Miller also taught Sunday school at Union chapel. I guess I am dating myself when I show this picture of Martha Miller and one of my Sunday school classes. Clifford & I are near the left side of the back row.
Did we ever wash our hands during the school day? I certainly have no memory of ever doing so. Yet, I do not remember being ill and missing school so we surely did not pass around too many germs. Of course, there were the contagious diseases; the ones you used to be quarantined for. Clifford and I had whooping cough at the same time and we were hardly ill. But the law said we had to stay at home for six weeks. We soon grew tired of just wandering around the farm and we also grew hungry, my grandmother heard that it was best not to feed us too much. Probably it was that old saying "starve a fever". Eventually, Clifford and I were so hungry that we would go to the orchard and eat green apples. At any rate, we had a long vacation and the worst part was returning to school to learn we were behind in arithmetic. I can remember doing pages and pages of figures in order to catch up. That was 4th grade so the arithmetic was getting pretty hard.
My 5th grade year was spent in Mifflin. Mother married Lester Benham and we were all together as a family again. But nine months later, Lester was killed in a lumbering accident. So, 6th grade was back in Roberson School. That was the year that Clifford and I had a little job. We walked to school early and swept the school room and carried the wood into the clock room. When it was cold we started a fire. Will Jones paid us something like 25 cents a week for these chores and claimed it was a big help to him. But now I suspect that he hired us for this job because he felt sorry for us. We did not think we had a difficult life; after all we were surrounded with a loving family.
The summer after my 6th grade year, my grandmother died, so my grandfather moved to Grantsburg and Clifford and I went along. And that ended my connection with Roberson School and with most of the classmates I had during those school years. I went to high school in English and most or maybe the entire Roberson School crowd went to Leavenworth.

Elton John Adoption May Be Halted By Homosexuality
Sir Elton John's application to adopt a HIV-positive toddler might be refused because he is gay. The music legend and his husband David Furnish want to adopt Lev — a 14-month-old boy they met at an orphanage over the weekend — but could be refused because it is illegal for homosexual couples to adopt in the Ukraine.
On a visit to Ukraine with his AIDS Foundation, Eltonperformed his hit "Circle of Life" for children at the orphanage, and met the little boy "who stole his heart."
"[Partner] David [Furnish] and I have always talked about adoption," the singer told Reuters on Saturday. "David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said 'no' because I am 62 and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child," Elton added.
"Having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don't know how we do that but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today."
Also complicating their bid, is the fact that David, 62, and Elton are considered "too old "to look after the young boy because national laws state there must be no more than a 45-year age gap between a child and the adoptive parents.
If the adoption is successfully, Elton and David – who married in a civil ceremony three years ago – would also be required to adopt Lev's brother under Ukrainian rules.


text: Determining Employee Status To avoid potential ESR penalties, Applicable Large Employers can use a safe harbor method to determine if employees should be offered health insurance. A safe harbor method can confirm the status of existing employees and determine the status of new, seasonal, and variable hour employees. If an employer hires an employee and is not sure if the employee will work full-time, the employee will be considered a variable hour employee. The safe harbor method consists of a look-back measurement period, administrative period, and subsequent stability period. Employers can select a look-back standard measurement period for ongoing employees of 3 to 12 months to calculate employee hours and determine if ongoing, newly hired, variable hour, or seasonal employees should be offered coverage beginning January 1, 2015. If any of these employees are determined not to be full-time, employers are not required to offer them health insurance for the next plan period. Employers then have the option to follow this with an administrative period of up to 90 days to identify, notify, and enroll eligible full-time employees in health coverage. Next is the stability period during which the enrolled full-time employees are provided coverage. At the end of this period, the employer can review employee hours to determine if the employees still meet the eligibility requirement of working full-time. For employees determined to be full-time, the stability period must be at least six months and no shorter than the look-back period of up to a year. If any of these employees are determined not to be full-time, employers are not required to offer them health insurance for the next plan period. For employees determined to be non-full-time, the stability period can't be longer than the look-back measurement period. In the following examples for ongoing employees, note that the stability period for the full-time employee is the required minimum of six months, whereas the stability period for the non-full-time employee matches the look-back period. Full-Time Employee Example Three-month look-back period: August 15, 2014 – November 14, 2014 Six-week administrative period: November 15, 2014 – December 31, 2014 Six-month stability period: January 1, 2015 – June 30, 2015 Non-Full Time Employee Example Three-month look-back period: August 15, 2014 – November 14, 2014 Six-week administrative period: November 15, 2014 – December 31, 2014 Three-month stability period: January 1, 2015 – March 31, 2015 There are specific methods set up to determine whether newly hired employees should be considered full-time or non-full-time and if they must be offered health coverage. Refer to the IRS guidance and speak with your tax advisor for additional information. Applicable Large Employers with 50-99 full-time employees may be eligible for a one-year delay in enforcement of the provisions until 2016. However, they must meet certain conditions outlined in the regulations to qualify for the transition relief and must certify in ESR reporting that they have met these conditions. If not, may still be liable for potential penalties if one of their non-covered employees receives a premium tax credit from a health insurance marketplace or if the coverage offered is not affordable or does not provide minimum value.

Some Important Principles, Doctrines, and Events
- •
God the Father has created worlds without number through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ (see Moses 1:32–33; see also Hebrews 1:1–2; D&C 76:22–24; Abraham 3:11–12).
- •
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ know all Their creations, including each of Heavenly Father's children (see Moses 1:35–37; see also Matthew 10:29–31; D&C 88:41).
- •
God's work and glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of His children (see Moses 1:39; see also 2 Nephi 9:13; D&C 76:62).
Suggestions for Teaching
Moses 1:24–29. Moses Saw God Again
Have students read Moses 1:18, 24–25and find what Moses did and why. Read verses 26–29 and ask students how they think this preparation helped him accomplish his mission. Invite students to tell how they spiritually prepare to fulfill their callings.
Moses 1:31–33. Many Worlds Created by the Son
What does it mean to stand in the presence of God? (see Moses 1:31). What does "these things" in verse 31 refer to? What question of Moses' did God answer in the last phrases of verse 31? Did He give a more complete answer at any time? (compare v. 39). Why do you think Heavenly Father answered Moses' question in this manner? What do you think "worlds without number" (v. 33) means in terms of the number of God's creations? What do you think Heavenly Father was trying to help Moses understand by using these terms? Do you think Moses understood what Heavenly Father was trying to teach him? Why?
Moses 1:30–38. Why Are These Things So?
Discuss the questions Moses asked the Lord in Moses 1:30. Invite students to read verses 31–39 and list what Moses learned about himself and Deity. Read the statement by Elder Marion G. Romney in the commentary for Moses 1:35–39in the student manual (p. 6). Read Moses 1:37and testify that despite the number of God's creations, He knows them all.
Moses 1:39. Immortality and Eternal Life
Ask students to define the terms immortalityand eternal life. Discuss the scriptural definition of "immortality" (see 1 Corinthians 15:51–54; Mormon 6:21) and of "eternal life" (see 1 John 5:11; Mosiah 15:22–25). President Spencer W. Kimball said, "Immortality is to live forever in an assigned kingdom. Eternal life is to gain exaltation in the highest heaven and live in the family unit" (in Conference Report, Sept.–Oct. 1978, 109; or Ensign,Nov. 1978, 72). Also read the commentary under "Moses 1:39. Immortality and Eternal Life" in the student manual (p. 6).
Moses 1:39. God's Work and Glory
Ask students the following questions: What is Heavenly Father's work? (see Moses 1:4–5, 39). What work did He want Moses to do? (see vv. 6, 25–26). How was Moses prepared to accomplish this work? (see v. 2; see also D&C 84:6). How does our knowledge of the Lord's work help us assist Him more effectively? Read the statement by President Marion G. Romney under "Moses 1:39. The Unselfishness of God" in the student manual (p. 6).
Media Suggestion. "'For Mine Own Purpose'"
Old Testament Symposium 1995 Resource Videocassettepresentation 1, "'For Mine Own Purpose'" (2:00; item 53248), depicts Heavenly Father revealing His purposes to Moses.

what contradiction? It says right there clear as day. "13 Time World Champions" and then list all of them. If you mean the Super Bowl logos it just showing the 4 out of the 13 that were Super Bowls. That doesnt mean the others dont count.
I have to agree with ForeverGreen in this case, that I don't know anyone who touts all the pre-Super Bowl championships as a regular-day fact...
It says "First World Championship AFL vs NFL"(super bowl 1) then precedes to list championships before the "first world championship" as world championships lol I must have some point if Mike is agreeing with me on the rarest of occasion haha
I'd like to think only the diehard fans talk about the pre-Super Bowl championships, because Cleveland has won championships before the SB and literally nobody talks about those unless the whole "Browns havent won a title since this year and that year" conversation comes up.
Exactly Dead, The same thing goes with the Lions and Eagles. Those 2 fan bases are HUGE on hitting you back with 1950 something when you say they have no rings lol
Divisional Round Picks
Cause they do count thou. No where in NFL records are those championship erase from History cause the merger. You dont hear anyone saying all those Celtic back to back championships in the 50-60s dont count cause they didnt merge with the ABA yet. Like Dead said only the fans count them. Well only non fans dont count them. Which is stupid cause that's not how history works. You just dont ignore it and say it doesnt count cause it's not your team. Especially since there would be no Super Bowl without the Packers, Bears, Lions, ext. It's one of the things about being a Packers fan that is cool. History still matters. Lombardi, Starr, Nitschke, Hudson, Johnny Blood, Reggie, Farve, and now Rodgers they still matter as one big championship legacy. Until the NFL officially ignores anything pre merger in the record books. They count end of story.

And you're saying "when us packer fans make fun of the lions we say blah" Well yea let's hope to god the people acknowledging standings championships from 1929 are also acknowledging other teams stuff from the same time haha
Last edited by O.92; 01-11-2017 at 08:53 PM. Reason: Merged double posts
Also when shows talk about teams that have the most championships right now, they dont even mention the Packers...they talk about the Steelers and their 6.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Heidenheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, 2014/09/25 - With its new CSH die cushion drive consisting of servo pump and double-acting die cushion, Voith has launched an innovative drive concept for demanding forming processes - Voith.com. FSE: VO2A
The CSH die cushion drive needs no valves and reduces energy consumption of the press significantly. In combination with the efficient PSH press drive, press operators can even save up to 80 % energy in the future.
With conventional die cushion drives consisting of a die cushion and pressure-relief valve, the work of the die cushion is irretrievably lost. In contrast, the Voith system feeds the mechanical power of the servo pump back to the process through the motor in the form of electric power. This reduces energy consumption and makes previously unattainable overall energy efficiency levels achievable. Furthermore, the servo-hybrid CSH die cushion drive uses a smaller oil reservoir, less oil and no costly cooling.
The die cushion drive with double-acting die cushion is ideal for forming processes involving complex geometries. The advantages are obvious: The CSH provides exceptional repeatability. In addition, the CSH is freely programmable in terms of speed, force and position control, and acceleration. The result is not only increased process variability, operators also benefit also from increased productivity while simultaneously improving the quality of the parts produced. How is that possible? The accelerated die cushion adjusts to the position-time curve of the ram and, in contrast to a single-acting die cushion, reduces tool impact on the workpiece. This improves surface quality, protects the machine and tool, and prevents damage such as cracks and creases on the workpieces.
The Combination Sets New Standards
The PSH press drive from Voith is known for its very high energy savings. The intelligent control system permits a very flexible use of the press. The PSH therefore guarantees the best possible matching of power and speed to the pressing process. Thus, the press only uses as much energy as required by the relevant process phase.
With the combination of a PSH press drive and the new CSH die cushion drive, Voith has now developed a system that sets new standards in the world of servo presses: Press operators can save up to 80 % energy in the future and improve total cost of ownership (TCO) while simultaneously increasing productivity. The unlimited programmability of the drive concept gives operators new capabilities when it comes to demanding forming processes. Both the PSH and the CSH can be scaled up easily into the megawatt range.
Voith Turbo H + L Hydraulic is a subsidiary of Voith Turbo. Voith Turbo, a Group Division of Voith GmbH, is a specialist for intelligent drive solutions. Customers from highly diverse industries such as oil and gas, energy, mining, mechanical engineering, ship technology, rail and commercial vehicles rely on advanced technologies from Voith Turbo.
Voith (voith.com) sets standards in the markets energy, oil & gas, paper, raw materials and transportation & automotive. Founded in 1867, Voith employs almost 43 000 people, generates 5.7 billion in sales, operates in about 50 countries around the world and is today one of the largest family-owned companies in Europe.

The FAA-certified commercial pilots at the helm of Southern AZ Balloons have glided groups across Tucson for more than two decades. During aerial adventures, the luxurious, wind-blown aircraft float as low as the treetops and as high as 2,000 feet depending on conditions. Varying heights present extravagant photographic opportunities, including of mountain ranges and of Catalina. Finally, after traveling anywhere from four to 15 miles, balloons coast to a landing for celebratory champagne brunches.

So I was trying to make grey fondant and instead of using black food coloring I started adding small portions of black fondant( I made a while ago). After achieving the color I wanted which is a darker grey, I wrapped it up in saran wrap, a few hours later its light purple !
Any idea how to fix this? I'm running low on fondant so making a new batch is out of the question
Thanks in advance
I don,t know what happened. That is how i make grey fondant(using black fondant with white) Never has turned purple. Try just a tinge of black food coloring. Just a little bit and wait to see what it does. hth
Add some yellow. Yellow and purple are complimentary colors and when mixed they make grey. Just test a small piece to get it right.
The pH is off in your fondant - add baking soda. Start with a small ball of fondant, add some baking soda (start with 1/8 tsp or less), then add your color. If the color doesn't change and stays true, then you know how much soda to add to the rest. I suggest doing this in small batches and let them all rest overnight to make sure the color keeps.
If you add color and it still turns, then add more soda. then more color. It's really a trial and error thing but it will fix your problem.
Thanks FromScratch, for helping us. I always pay heed to your advice.

The Sixth Annual Braham Area Committee for Kids (B.A.C.K) Golf Scramble Tournament on Sunday, June 24, raised funds, awareness and crowned champions at Bulrush Golf Course in Rush City.
The tournament is an addition to the fundraising efforts of the organization whose goal is to provide athletic and physical education fields and recreational areas to the Braham Area School District and community.
Using the theme "Field of Dreams" this group has set about to raise funds for the purpose of adding two baseball fields, two softball fields and physical education and recreation areas.
After 18 holes of golf a winner was determined. The champion team had proudly turned in a great score of 58; the winning team included Eric Rysdam, Chris Piha, Mike Piha and Jacob Peteson. The second place team with a score of 59 was Steve Smith, Josh Smith, Ralph Tellefsen and Ian Blaine.
Golf Coach Ed Melcher recognized the 2012 Braham Girls & Boys Golf Team members who were present and participated in the tournament.
Dinner and a live auction capped off the afternoon along with drawings for a long list of door prizes. They had the privilege of having Braham native, Noah Dahlman, present and they auctioned off two of his jerseys; one from his college basketball team Wolford, and one from his professional team in Macedonia. There were over 80 businesses and individuals that donated prizes. A special "thank you" goes to Smith's Auction for doing a terrific job.
"The success of an event like this can be measured by many things – the number of participants, amounts of funds and fun raised, sponsorships gained and number of volunteers involved," organizers said. "By all accounts this event was a great success! Ultimately, it is the funds raised for 'the field of dreams' that may impact the community for years to come and for that reason the committee would like to thank all the participants, the sponsors, all the volunteers, Bulrush golf course and the entire community for their support."

Primary colors. Single objects. Minimal. The visual language of the Crayola Theory reveals the strong influence of same color combinations. Putting everyday objects on plain background kept in the similarly powerful hue is pleasing to the eye, and is strikingly chic as well. The play on the title referencing the simplicity of art practiced by children using crayons and the general minimalistic approach throughout the project brings us back to the naivety of the early stage of life. Dawn Kim and Daniel Seung Lee feed us a great portion of aesthetically engaging images.

Fake Steve Jobs has real social media message
Dan Lyons is a real person.
It's a point that probably needs to be made, since Lyons – an award-winning novelist who is also a tech writer and business editor – is probably best known for his satirical writing in the on-line persona he created, Fake Steve Jobs.
In 2006, he started a blog called The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs, in which he wrote about technology, politics, and social issues, tongue-in-cheek, from the imagined perspective of the Apple founder and tech guru.
The blog was written anonymously, at first – it took about a year before the New York Times discovered Fake Steve Jobs' real identity.
The blog later grew into a book, Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs.
While Lyons may be most famous for being someone he wasn't, the real Dan Lyons was also pretty busy with his "straight" jobs as a technology writer for Forbes, and later, as a writer and editor with Newsweek Magazine.
Today, he's the editor-in-chief of a San Francisco-based tech blog called ReadWrite.
On Monday, the real Dan Lyons will really be in Edmonton to speak at the ICE Technology Conference.
But his subject won't be Apple. Instead, he's be speaking about the uneasy, often-unrecognized deal with the devil we've made, by offering up our personal information to platforms such as Facebook, Foursquare, and Google's Gmail, by living out our personal lives in public social media spaces.
"Facebook can now gather more information on more people than any organization in history – one billion people. They are gathering information on one billion consumers and watching them all day long, " says Lyons.
"It's driven by money. It's driven by marketing. It's not about the government spying on us. It's about people who want to sell us crap – and the power of greed is more powerful than that of any authoritarian state."
Often times, says Lyons, people don't realize, when they post their vacation photos and prattle away to their friends about where they should meet for dinner or what coat they should buy, that they are giving away valuable information to corporate marketers who want to target their products directly to the most plausible customers. If you think Facebook and Gmail are free, he says, you should think again.
"You're paying for Facebook with your data. They don't want your $20 a month. They think your data is worth more. Our privacy now becomes a currency that you're able to buy services with."
And from Lyons' perspective, we're selling ourselves short. We're told, over and over, he says, that Facebook has redefined privacy, that a new generation of savvy web-users don't mind telling the world where they are, by "checking in" or sharing their GPS coordinates.
Lyons doesn't buy that argument.
"I know exactly what privacy is. It's being able to decide what I want to share about myself and with whom. People say that 18-year-olds today have a different definition of privacy, but I don't believe that. When you're 18, you don't care about this stuff, because you're 18, and you're stupid. But should we allow our social mores to be set by teenagers?"
What fascinates – and in no small part horrifies – Lyons, is the way entrepreneurs can mash-up platforms and technologies, to cross-reference data in new, even creepy ways.
As an example, he points to a controversy last year about "Girls Around Me", an iPhone app developed by a Russian company called i-Free. The app quickly cross-referenced publicly available data from Foursquare and Facebook, so, for example, a user could see how many "hot" girls were in a particular bar or nightclub. (The user, as Lyons points out, could also see all kinds of personal information about particular girls, the better to pick them up with.)
After American blog Cult of Mac complained that the app facilitated creepy stalker behaviour, Foursquare denied i-Free access to its data, and Apple pulled the app. But, as Lyons points out, all the data that Girls Around Me accessed was already public – information that women themselves had freely shared, not understanding, perhaps, the consequences.
But Lyons is ever bit as fascinated by new technologies that will allow corporations, not lonely guys, to stalk us all. Google Glass, for example, is a prototype wearable computer and digital camera, with geolocation software built into the frame of your glasses – which would have the potential to deliver real-time advertising right into your eyes as you walk around the city. "Look" into the window of a store with the camera – and the relevant ads would pop right up.
As we share more and more and more information about our lives, our loves, and our location with multinational corporations – and everyone else – Lyons asks some important and provocative questions about just how much we understand about what we're doing, with whom we're sharing, and just how vulnerable we're making ourselves.
In truth, I think I myself often shrug off my qualms about data mining and market surveillance, by laughing at just how ludicrously clumsy the ad-bots of today are.
My 15-year-old daughter uses Gmail. In recent days, the ads on her gmail account have attempted to sell her heavy-duty truck parts and denture cream.
My Facebook account persists in trying to sell me RVs – which, given how much I hate both driving and camping, is pretty entertaining.
(Today, Facebook is trying to sell me kid-friendly bunk beds and boudoir photography – and I can assure you, I'm not in the market for either.)
Yet while it's both amusing and comforting to laugh off the awkwardness of this generation of not-very-well targeted marketing, it's likely that the programs that crawl through our posts and letters will become more sophisticated and discerning over time – and that we'll be more and more likely to click on ads that actually do appeal to us. We've already made the trade-off – opting to tell the world what we read, what we eat, where we shop, what we care about, not knowing exactly who is on the receiving end of all that information, or what they intend to do with it.
(Lyons, for one, points to Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, who has made major investments in Facebook and Twitter: "He's a Russian billionaire. And he's not dead. So what does that tell you about who he's friends with?" he asks mordantly.)
Yet this is the deal that we, as a culture, have opted to make. And there seems little chance that we'll suddenly, in a fit of modesty and discretion, give up what appeals to us about the social media milieu.
"It's a great place for narcissists," says Lyons. "It's like a reality TV show, and you can be the star of it."
"I almost feel like some things lose their value if you share them," he adds. "Some things, you should keep to yourself."

PHILADELPHIA (Oct. 22)
Hadassah, women's Zionist organization, planned today to petition Great Britain through the Jewish Agency for Palestine for issuance of immigration certificates to Jewish children in Poland and Germany in accordance with a resolution adopted at the closing session of its 22nd annual convention.
Other resolutions adopted by the 1,200 delegates from 45 states at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel yesterday urged Britain not to halt Jewish immigration into the Holy Land, said Hadassah would continue its work in Palestine with a feeling of kinship to the Arabs and reaffirmed its support of the anti-Nazi boycott.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, addressing the banquet which closed the four-day sessions, declared that it is "time for the American people to have a moral and political stake in the mandate, to insist that Transjordania be reunited with Palestine."
Criticizing Britain's handling of the mandate, he said, "Suspension of Jewish immigration should never have been considered. The demand should have been rejected."
He read President Roosevelt's message praising Hadassah's work in Palestine, adding that the President's concern for Palestine equalled in fervor that of President Wilson.
Mrs. Samuel W. Halprin said, "The Jews will fight to the last breath to continue Jewish immigration into Palestine. The Jews will do everything possible to prevent the substitution of a political yard-stick for an economic one on the question of immigration. I have faith that the Royal Commission will find Jewish and Arab needs not irreconcilable."
Other speakers during the day were Mrs. Edward Jacobs, Dr. Israel Goldstein and Ittamar Ben Avi, of Palestine.
Mrs. Jacobs was elected president for the fifth time and the following other officers: vice presidents, Mesdames Moses Epstein, David de Sola Pool, Henry Sieroty of San Francisco and Miss Pearl Franklin of Chicago; Mrs. Herman Shulman, secretary, and Mrs. Samuel Rosensohn, treasurer.
The following budgets were adopted: $200,000 for medical work in Palestine, $100,000 for the Youth Aliyah, $60,000 for the Jewish National Fund and $46,000 for infant welfare and school lunches in Palestine.
In honor of the 80th birthday of Louis D. Brandeis, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, on Nov. 15, the delegates pledged their chapters to plant 10,000 trees in his name in Palestine. Individuals contributed $1,000 in cash. His daughter, Susan Brandeis, was on the platform during a demonstration for Mr. Brandeis.

Magnesium and 5-HTP
I have Celiac Disease and intestinal swelling. I take Hyoscyamine ( 0.125mg ) 3 - 3 times daily. I am on a strict gluten free diet. I heard that Magnesium and 5-HTP is good for intestinal swelling. Do you recommend them? Thank you.
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. On this site, NetWellness experts try to answer general questions about health. Only a health professional performing a thorough clinical exam is able to make recommendations about supplement dosages. Regarding the magnesium, once your diet is clear from gluten, check with your doctor to see if you could start by taking 1/2 of a 250 mg magnesium oxide tablet at bedtime for one week. If you have no problems, then see about adding the same dose after dinner.
5HTP is not effective for this condition.

Football season is over, at least for me. I woke up early on Tuesday morning feeling hollow and empty, like I had forgotten something important. I know, there are still NFL games left in the season, but the drama is finished.
According to the sports bookies in Las Vegas, in every playoff game this weekend, the team with the better record is favored.
Not that the prognosis is all that surprising. Upsets do happen occasionally, but it's not likely this weekend. I don't think anyone thought the Broncos had a chance against the Steelers, and that may be the last shocker we get to see.
I had a few people tell me that they thought Alabama was going to put one over on LSU, and even though I didn't believe them, it wasn't that far out of the realm of reality that the Tide could get a win, and they did.
Unfortunately, the NFL is an entirely different beast than the college game and the teams that are on top are there for a reason.
Believe me, I hope the Broncos get a win over the Patriots, and at least one of my reasons is one that most people can agree with.
There's something distasteful about convicted cheater Bill Belichick and pretty-boy quarterback Tom Brady winning any games. Also, if the Broncos can somehow pull off another miracle, Baltimore will savagely devour Denver in the next round.
The college games are full of spectacles that are lacking at the professional level. Maybe the problem is that, in reality, with the pros we have to watch grown men playing a game, and being paid exorbitant sums of money for doing something most of us did in scrubby fields when we were kids.
Obviously, the skill level a professional has is incomparable, but the idea of "love of the game†and "doing it for the fans†is utter nonsense. Anyone who says different is a liar.
It might start with those misty-eyed principles for some professional athletes, but when it comes down to it, no one in his right mind would sacrifice his body in the way professional football players do just for glory and adoration.
Last time I checked, neither of those things could be deposited into a checking account.
College athletics have their own set of problems, but if a school's biggest offense is allowing a simpleton on campus with a scholarship because he can run fast and jump high, then so be it.
It's all entertainment, and despite what television networks try to convince the public of, college football is just more entertaining than the NFL.
There's a sense that the little guy has a chance, even if it's a long shot. That added iota of suspense is what helps make the game great.
But, now that football is finished, all I can do is grind my teeth and wait for baseball.

A week after Chobani notified retailers it was having a "quality" problem and asked them to pull containers of its Greek-style yogurt, the company issued a formal recall through the Food and Drug Administration.
The switch from a quiet recall to a public announcement followed an investigation by the FDA.
"They've gone from a market withdrawal to a recall," said Tamara Ward, spokeswoman for the FDA. "We were in discussions with them the last couple of days."
The recall notice, published Thursday on the FDA website, lists 91 varieties of Chobani yogurt. The recall includes a wide range of flavors and various fat percentages of yogurt sold in 2.25 oz., 3.5 oz., 5.3 oz. 6 oz., 16 oz. and 32 oz. containers. The yogurt, which has sickened a number of people, including children, had best-by dates from Sept. 11 to Oct. 7 and a code of 16-012. For a complete list of the items and UPC codes, check the FDA's website.
Also Thursday, the company's founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, issued a public apology on Chobani's home page. In it, Ulukaya said: "I'm sorry we let you down." He said emphasized that Chobani takes pride in "making a perfect cup of yogurt" but had "recently identified mold in a limited amount of product that came from our Idaho facility."He continued: "While this type of mold is common in the dairy environment, particularly when using only natural ingredients that are absent of artificial preservatives, it's still unacceptable to me and all of our yogurt makers."
He did not give details about the type of mold. The company also has not said how much of the yogurt was sold or where. The company, the No. 1 yogurt manufacturer in the United States, distributes to retailers nationally as well as to stores in Australia and the United Kingdom.
This is its first recall, according to Amy Juaristi, a company spokeswoman.
She said Chobani has fixed the problem. She didn't say what it did.

La Petite Maison du Weekend is a prototype self-sufficient minimal dwelling. It can be relocated to virtually any outdoor site, where it will provide the basics for everyday life: sleeping for two, kitchen, shower, and composting toilet. Made of a variety of materials and premanufactured components, it generates its own electricity, collects and distributes rainwater, and composts human waste using only the natural dynamics of the site.
The project was constructed in 1998 for the Fabrications Exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts, in Columbus, Ohio.

text: I've got a question about the default HTC email application on the EVO 3D. I noticed that you can view "Marked" emails in this application (I'm referring to the categories slider at the bottom of the email application). I was going to use this to mark important emails so I could find them easily, however I can't find a way to mark emails anything except unread. Is there a way to mark emails so they'll show up in this category?

Chandrababu addressed VIPs and farmers after Bhumi Puja for the capital city. Stating that the partition of the State was unjustified, he said that he took it as a challenge to build Amaravati, the capital city for AP. Not one to lose heart with misery, he has moved ahead with the vision of building a beautiful capital, he said. It would be one of the top cities of the world, he promised.
