Inside the Missionary Training Center: Arrival day for missionaries means quick goodbyes, and hello to brand new world
Editor's note: This is the second in a three-day series offering a closer look at how the LDS Church trains missionaries before they are sent into the field.
PROVO, Utah — Arrival day at the Provo Missionary Training Center — it's practically the only public MTC event, and even then, it only lasts for a few brief moments.
And that shared arrival experience of incoming missionaries saying goodbye to their families has gotten even shorter.
Before June 2009, family members accompanied their missionary into the Wilford Woodruff Administration Building for a brief, large-group welcome session — a hymn, a prayer and a short message from MTC leaders.
Then in heart-wrenching fashion, missionaries were directed to an exit on one side of the conference room and family members to another exit on the other side, exchanging tearful goodbyes and embraces to last for the next 18 months to two years.
In a drive-through process reminiscent of fast-food meals, the Provo MTC has since instituted a drop-off used for several hours every Wednesday, the changes coinciding with — but not the direct result of — the 2009 swine flu outbreak.
On a bright but chilly Wednesday last month, 361 new missionaries were scheduled to arrive at the Provo MTC. Some traveling alone came in early on international or domestic flights, shuttled in from the Salt Lake International Airport. Another 15 were temporarily stranded in snowbound airports in the eastern United States.
That left some 325 missionaries to arrive by car, with missionaries scheduled alphabetically by last name. Vehicles lined up 25 at a time in two queues from the 900 East entrance, directed to the campus' south end.
Each carload is given several minutes to unload the missionary, snap a photo and say a last goodbye. The MTC accommodates 100 cars every 15 minutes — but could handle as many as 600 on a single Wednesday.
The 12th of 14 children in her family, Sister Whitney Lewis of Springfield, Ore., had witnessed the MTC arrival/goodbye routine previously with older siblings — now she was experiencing it for herself.
She had bid her parents farewell at home several days earlier and had traveled to Utah to spend a couple of nights with her older sister, who saw her off at the MTC. It was a roundabout of sorts, since Lewis had seen her older sister off on her own mission some years earlier.
Greeting each arriving missionary is a pair of "host" missionaries, themselves having arrived only weeks earlier.
As host missionaries, Elder Julian Egger of Innsbruck, Austria, and Elder Ryan Shumway of Payson, reminded new arrivals of the rules upon entering: leave your personal keys and cell phones with your family, bring your updated list of immunizations, and don't forget your luggage.
Moms and sisters leaned out open windows to shout a final farewell as their cars drove off and their missionaries walked the opposite direction. "No cryin', Mom," a new elder shouted back.
"Just to see the mothers crying," said host missionary Elder Hayden Perry of Mountain View, Wyo., "it makes you think of your own mom."
The hosts then accompanied the new missionaries to the administration building, taking their luggage to the exit and waiting for them to complete the initial processing.
Assisted by scores of volunteers at the check-in, newcomers confirm their identities and assignments; have their photo taken; receive a packet containing their name tag, room key and other information; collect a padlock for a secure drawer; and acknowledge they have previously attended an LDS temple, and possess a church-issued ministerial certificate.

Thunder's Kevin Durant becomes forward
Say goodbye to Kevin Durant the guard. The Thunder's reigning Rookie of the Year is now a small forward, finally playing the position many NBA minds think best fits his gangly 6-foot-10 frame and versatile skill set.
In his first move as Thunder interim coach, Scott Brooks shifted Durant from shooting guard to small forward, bringing an end to a 92-game experiment designed to protect the rail thin Durant against bigger, stronger opponents. But Durant says he's ready to take on the move full time. "I definitely am," Durant said. "That's my natural position. I've been playing that mostly my whole life. The last game I felt a lot more comfortable at (small forward), guarding (small forwards) and just helping my team out in different areas. So I'm excited." As a shooting guard, Durant often stood around the 3-point line waiting for the ball to be swung his way. His offense was primarily one-dimensional, heavy on jump shots over small defenders, resulting in few drives to the basket and an average field-goal percentage. He averaged 20.3 points last season on 43 percent shooting. At small forward, Durant's field-goal percentage is expected to improve as he moves closer to the basket and his rebounding numbers are expected to rise as well, helping to turn him into more of the complete player he was in his one season at Texas. In his first game at small forward on Saturday at New Orleans, Durant scored 30 points on a season-high 68.

Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) 'Red Dawn' has been launched from the Eastern Shipbuilding Group's Allanton facility.
Attending from Hornbeck was Todd Hornbeck, President & CEO, and Carl Annessa, Executive Vice President & COO, along with 12 senior members of the Hornbeck Team witnessing the launch of the first of ten HOSMAX Offshore Supply Vessels under contract with Eastern.
Captain Billy Haugh, who will be taking the vessel to sea as Master once it delivers later this year, and his wife Shandale had the honor of christening the vessel. Eastern's President, Brian D'Isernia said a few words about the bright future of Shipbuilding in the United States and the Offshore Marine Industry prior to the launch. Deacon Earl Mirus of Saint John's Catholic Church located in Panama City, Florida performed the blessing of the vessel.
The first four vessels have been designated as the HOSMAX 300 series by Hornbeck Offshore and are approved USCG, ABS, SOLAS, DPS‐2, AC Diesel‐Electric powered, twin Z‐drive propelled OSV's measuring 292'x64'x24'‐6".
The Red Dawn is the first of four HOSMAX 300 Offshore Support Vessels under contract, and the remaining six vessels under contract are the larger 302'x64'x26' designated HOSMAX 310 Offshore Support Vessels.
STX Canada Marine provided the design for both vessels which is the basis for the very successful and proven Eastern Shipbuilding "Tiger Shark Class" series.
Hornbeck Offshore Services has made the commitment to service the anticipated increase in deepwater and ultra‐deepwater drilling activity in all three of its core geographic markets of the US Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and Mexico.

'American Idol' Finale: The Case For Lauren
Scotty McCreery looks to be a lock, but we offer five reasons why Lauren Alaina deserves the crown.
We realize this is a futile effort. Everyone knows that Scotty McCreery, the clean-cut, mild mannered, country kid with the aw, shucks grin from Garner North Carolina, has this contest pretty much sewn up. And we're not just talking about Tuesday night's DialIdol results that has him leading with twice as many votes as Lauren Alaina. Let's face it, he's never been in the bottom three, and a source tells THR that earlier this month, Scotty led his fellow finalists by a country mile over the number two vote-getter that week. So Wednesday night's result show should come as a surprise to, well, nobody.
Even so, this should not dissuade Lauren Alaina's fans from harnessing their power and influence to put the Georgia peach in the winner's column. There's still time! But even beyond tonight's four-hour window, we'd like to offer top five reasons why Lauren is the better choice for Season 10.
5) Lauren has versatility. Her range not only suits the country genre she so clearly loves, but it has pop undertones that would work very well with what we like to classify as "crossover" potential. Think: Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood.
4) Look at the Top 40 and the iTunes charts these days -- the biggest sellers of the past two years are female: Pink, Lady Gaga, Adele, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Rihanna, Beyonce, and, yes, Jennifer Lopez. Girls are huge sellers in multiple genres, or, in the words of Beyonce, "run the World."
3) The top two best-selling most beloved Idols? Women. The aforementioned Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, 'natch. And can't you just see Lauren fitting nicely into that coffee klatch?
2) Despite nearly losing her voice last night, Lauren soldiered on and did more than "work it out," as Randy Jackson would say. She put heart, soul and every muscle she had into that performance Tuesday night, showing true poise and professionalism. The show must go on, and it did. Some say Scotty is the more mature of the two. We say, who cares?
1) It has been far too long since a girl won American Idol. The last one was season 6's Jordin Sparks who won in 2007 and, incidentally, has multiple singles still being played on the radio. No, the closest Idol had to a female winner was last year's Crystal Bowersox.
Bottom line: Lauren has marketability and the most potential to strengthen the Idol brand by selling music, and isn't that really what this exercise is all about?
As always, we welcome your thoughts, Idol Worshipers...

Enjoy this tasty lamb dish by celebrity chef, Paul Mercurio.
Cut the lamb back strap into pieces about 3 cm long and 2 cm wide, heat oil in a fry pan and cook the lamb – season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, until nicely coloured but not quite cooked – remove from the pan and keep warm.
As you are going to add the lamb back into the pan with the other ingredients it is important to not cook the lamb all the way through during this first part of cooking other wise when you add it back into the sauce it will over cook and be tough.
Add a little more oil to the pan if needed and when hot add the spring onions and prosciutto fry until the spring onions are softened.
Add the capers and heat through then add the wine and the stock, bring to the boil add the quartered artichoke and simmer to reduce the sauce down by half.
Add the lamb (and any juices from the lamb) back in and let it warm through with the sauce for a few minutes giving it all a good mix to combine the flavours.
Lastly scatter over some of the chopped parsley giving it a mix so that it combines through the sauce and then serve in a bowl garnish with a little more parsley.
» Metric Converter
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz are the best wines to pair with Lamb with Artichokes and Capers.

Lindblad Expedition's Polar excursion ship 'National Geographic Explorer' is in the German yard for refit & DNV class surveys.
"This contract is just right for us", said a satisfied Rüdiger Pallentin, Board Member of Lloyd Werft. For completion by May 15, 2013, in the yard's Kaiserdock 1 is a ship requiring basic technical work mainly extensive repairs to the thruster, rudder and shaft plant. For Project Manager Carl Ratjen and his team it is not only a question of the workload itself but also of the demanding time schedule set for the job. And on top of that, all the classification work on the ice-class expedition ship also has to be completed in the allotted time for Det Norske Veritas.
"The ship has to be back in her operational schedule within a relatively short time. We understand things like that and it is one of our special talents that we can complete complex jobs inside the shortest possible time", he adds.
He also sees the first visit of the "National Geographic Explorer" as a dry run for further possible orders, particularly since the shipping company has a second ship of similar design.
Lloyd Werft explain that after the 2008 conversion of the former Hurtigruten ship "Midnatsol", Lindblad Expeditions Inc. put the small but versatile 6,471 GT ship, with just 81 cabins for 148 passengers and a crew of 84, under the Bahamas flag and into service mainly in the Polar Regions for a growing number of passengers who are breathing new life into those particular cruise shipping niche markets. The ship's name "National Geographic Explorer" is, at one and the same time, her cruise itinerary.

The four most competitive financial careers
Send this to a friend
- Jesse Burkhart
- Digital Producer- Triangle Business Journal
As more Baby Boomers leave the workforce, employers are looking for capable replacements and are reporting difficulties in doing so. For those who are eyeing high-profile financial careers on Wall Street, those jobs require, on average, more than seven years of experience and very specific skill sets.
Controllers, tax managers, fund and senior-level accountants, and valuation analysts are the four most competitive positions to fill, according to financial recruiters, who also say networking is essential to landing ritzy jobs, which aren't typically advertised.
Burkhart oversees TBJ's web operation.

EXCLUSIVE: Sam Riley has joined the cast of the World War II drama. Suite Française also features Michelle Williams, Matthias Schoenaerts and Kristin Scott Thomas with Saul Dibb directing.

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

Psychedelic Christmas cookies
When cookies get too fussy, improvise.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
I started out to make pinwheel cookies from a Metro recipe, but decided the soft, sticky dough would drive home bakers crazy. So I happily transformed the pinwheels into psychedelia.
Psychedelic Christmas Cookies
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups (500 mL) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp (5 mL) kosher salt
2/3 cup (160 mL) skim milk
1 tbsp (15 mL) vanilla extract
5 cups (1-1/4L) all-purpose flour
About 1 tsp (5 mL) each red and green food colouring or to taste
Using an electric mixer on low then medium speed, beat butter and sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs and salt. Beat in milk and vanilla (don't worry if mixture looks curdled). On low speed, beat in half the flour. Beat in remaining flour with wooden spoon just until moistened.
Divide dough in 3 parts. In medium bowl, blend one piece with red food colouring. In another medium bowl, blend second piece with green food colouring. Gather each piece into ball, press into disc and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
On lightly floured parchment paper, roll out each disc separately to untidy oval about 3/8-inch (1 cm) thick. Lay plain dough on green dough. Lay red dough on plain dough. Roll three layers into tube. Cut roughly into 4 pieces. Refrigerate half an hour to firm up.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Place 2 racks above and below centre.
Working with 1 piece of dough at a time on sheet of floured plastic wrap sprinkled with flour, lay dough tube on its side, squash down with palm and roll to 3/8-inch (1 cm) thickness to blend colours randomly. Use 3-inch (7.5-cm) serrated round cutter to punch out rounds from dough. Place rounds on baking sheets 2 inches apart (5 cm).
Bake until bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes, switching racks at halftime. Remove from oven. Let sit 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Repeat rolling, cutting and baking with remaining dough and scraps.
Makes about 30.

Dughmush's death pleases both Fatah, Hamas
(photo credit:AP)
Many Fatah and Hamas activists in the Gaza Strip have expressed relief over the death of Mu'taz Dughmush, one of the commanders of the Army of Islam terrorist group, who was killed by an IAF strike on his vehicle Tuesday.
Mu'taz and five other Palestinians were killed in two IAF attacks. All the dead belonged to the Army of Islam and Islamic Jihad.
Dughmush was considered by both Fatah and Hamas "one of the biggest murderers and thugs," sources in the Gaza Strip told The Jerusalem Post.
The two groups had tried to kill Dughmush several times in the past two years, they said.
His older brother, Mumtaz, is the founder and commander of the Army of Islam, a tiny group that sprouted up in the Gaza Strip nearly two years ago and that is said to be linked to al-Qaida. Mumtaz Dughmush is described by some Palestinians as the Palestinian Zarqawi, a reference to slain Jordanian arch-terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi.
The Army of Islam has been behind a series of attacks on various institutions in Gaza, including some owned by Christians. Its members were also behind the killing of several Hamas and Fatah officials and the abduction of more than 20 foreigners in the Strip over the past two years.
It was also one of the groups that took credit for the 2006 abduction of IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Schalit.
"We are talking about one of the most dangerous groups of mercenaries in the Gaza Strip," a Fatah official said in Ramallah. "These guys carried out many political assassinations and gruesome killings of innocent people."
According to the official, Mu'taz, who was nicknamed Abu Majd, was personally involved in the assassination of Gen. Jad Tayeh of the Palestinian Authority's General Intelligence Force and four of his aides in September 2006.
"Mu'taz carried out the assassination on orders from Hamas," the Fatah official said. "He even stole Tayeh's pistol while he was bleeding before shooting him in the head."
The official claimed that Mu'taz was also behind the killing of three children who were on their way to school in Gaza City in December 2006. The children were the sons of a top Fatah operative, General Intelligence officer Baha Ba'lousheh, and the killings are believed to have been ordered by Fatah dissidents.
Mu'taz and his gang were also involved in the recent execution-style killing of Hussein Abu Sharekh, a Fatah activist from the Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses said the victim was shot in the head several times in front of his home.
Hamas officials denied any connection to Mu'taz, although some admitted that in the past he had been a member of the movement's armed wing, Izzadin Kassam.
"He was kicked out of Hamas many years ago," a senior Hamas official said. "He and his brother Mumtaz have since been operating as an independent group."
The Hamas official said his movement had tried to arrest Mu'taz several times in the past few months. "He was wanted for his role in a number of crimes," he added. "As far as we know, Mu'taz and the Army of Islam started operating under the Fatah security forces, which used them to do the dirty work for them in the Gaza Strip."
He said that one of those operations was the September 2005 assassination of Gen. Musa Arafat, the former head of the PA Military Intelligence and a cousin of former PA leader Yasser Arafat.
Another Hamas official said that Mu'taz and his brother used to kidnap foreigners in the Gaza Strip on behalf of Fatah security commanders who wanted to "destroy Hamas's reputation" and get ransom money from the victims' governments and employers.
The last victim was BBC correspondent Alan Johnston, who was kidnapped by the Dughmush brothers and released only after Hamas took full control of the Gaza Strip in June 2007.
Rumors in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday had it that Mu'taz had been killed as part of the Egyptian-brokered cease-fire agreement between Hamas and Israel. According to the rumors, Hamas, which was desperate to get rid of the Army of Islam, decided to "give away" Mu'taz as a sign of the movement's seriousness in striking a deal with Israel.
"Mu'taz is not being revered as a shahid [martyr]," said a Palestinian reporter in the Gaza Strip. "Many here see him as a thug and merciless killer. The reaction of many people to his death has been, 'Good riddance!'"
Mu'taz had "a lot of Palestinian blood on his hands," the reporter said, and both Hamas and Fatah, which once used his services, were now celebrating his death at the hands of Israel.
"Both parties have been trying to catch him or kill him, but in the end Israel did the job for them," he said. "I don't believe anyone will miss Mu'taz Dughmush."

I absolutely LOVE this fragrance, and am very sparingly :( using the last that I have, due to it's not sold in stores anymore. Can't believe this gorgeous fragrance was discontinued!!! I'm glad this site sells it, and with it discounted, that's not so bad. But I know one day I won't be able to find it again :( makes me so sad. But it has a very alluring smell, i love the musky/woodsy smell to it, with a little bit of sweetness, IMO. I'm hooked.....forever!

Comments about Yves Saint Laurent Elle Perfume:
I have been using the perfume Elle, eau de parfum for a few years now, and every time I try something else, I always come back to this great perfume that fits me very well. Your company makes me very happy and I can afford the price you offer, thanks a lot. In the pharmacys here in Quebec, we pay about 34$ more, imagine! I can't afford it but with FragranceX, I can do it.

Comments about Yves Saint Laurent Elle Perfume:
Elle is one of my favourite fragrances, it is a spicy but clean and fruity floral that is ideal for a night out or for a beautiful summer afternoon. It is classy, but also vibrant, youthful and sexy. I would recommend it to people who are moderately adventurous, but would like to smell different in the sea of fruity-gourmands.
As to the customer service: fast shipping, great price, original product. I couldn't be happier.

Comments about Yves Saint Laurent Elle Perfume:
Elle by Yves saint Laurent is one of my best fragrance. It can be worn anytime, and is long lasting. At the end of my 8 hour shift, my co-worker asked me what fragrance I was wearing. And what gives this product the edge, it does not bombard your nostrils. Its a must get for women. A definite 5 stars!!!
