Marble Christus Statue (19-inch)
by Deseret Book Company
Product Description
This awe-inspiring cultured marble Christus statue depicts Jesus Christ just as the scriptures describe Him, beckoning to us with open arms in a most pleasant manner, as if saying: "Come unto me."
The original Christus statue by Sculptor Albert Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) was made of plaster in 1823 and was used to create the 11-foot marble version in 1839 that stands today in the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Thorvaldsen spent 40 years in Rome. There he made a sepulchral monument for Pope Pius VII in St. Peter's Cathedral and numerous statues in the style of antiquity. While in Rome he also worked on another one of his masterpieces, "Christ and the 12 Apostles" which made him internationally known as the greatest sculptor of neo-classicism.
He returned to Copenhagen where he started and completed his greatest work, the Christus. After Thorvaldsen's death in 1844, the Christus was erected in the Copenhagen Cathedral. This marvelous work of inspired art has now been painstakingly created in exact detail as the original.
*Depending on the marble available at time of production, coloring and shade may vary from picture shown.

You will want more than one - you will want to share the Christus
by Melanie - reviewed on April 06, 2007
I ordered a second statue because the first is mine - all mine. I ordered a second because I want to share this wonderful Christus and the pricing makes sharing more affordable. It is just that my list includes more than my budget allows at this time. I hope we can look forward to the discount price again.

I work at an Institute and we ordered this for my office. It is beautiful and reminds us all to be a little more reverent and what a special gift the Atonement is. I love it!

I ordered this statue as a gift for my husband. It makes a beautiful addition to our home and is the centerpiece to our sitting room. Highly recommend!!
Mother-in-law loved it!
by Customer - reviewed on October 17, 2008
My mother-in-law admired this beautiful piece so much that she ended up getting it as a gift from my husband instead of the intended recipient--me! I was glad it made her so happy and get to admire it when I visit.
Easter gift
by Simone - reviewed on April 06, 2007
We bought this for a family gift for Easter. It now is on our mantle between a picture of the temple and our family portrait. It has helped us invite the Spirit into our home.
I loved the original and this statue is a calming beauty
by RONALD - reviewed on December 05, 2006
I visited Copenhagen and found the original 'CHRISTUS' AT THE CHURCH OF OUR LADY. IT IS MAGNIFICENT!!! I needed my own statue. I found it at a book store and bought it. It is the focal point of our home. It gives me a fantastic feeling every day. This statue is the greatest. Ron Pendleton Homer, Alaska
Exquisite workmanship and memories
by Kate - reviewed on October 15, 2008
When I see the Christus lit up in my china cabinet, I not only remember our Savior's sacrifice, but I also remember the day my husband proposed to me. He proposed just before General Conference, so we make a traditional excursion to Salt Lake every year for Conference. Last year, he bought me this exquisite replica of the Christus when he saw me drooling over it. The fine detail and workmanship makes it worth every penny spent!
New Review
by Mick - reviewed on August 10, 2010
Today our family still enjoys this beautiful art piece in our home. "Christ" is the foundation of our Church and family. that is why the family portrait is directly above the statue. Our grandchildren especially like to stand at look without touching this reminder to be kinder, gentler and happier. Joy is the goal.
GrandChildren stare at it
by Mick - reviewed on November 17, 2012
Since our purchase of the Christus Statues we have noticed that our grandchildren from an early age to teen age will look at the Christus and just stare. We were afraid at first to have it out all the time and maybe get broken. Nope, reverence is what it brings to our great room. Mick

This statue always brought a sacred feeling to our living room when I was growing up. What a feeling of reverence it has about it!
by W. Todd - reviewed on April 28, 2008
Magnificent! What can I say...The first time I saw the Christus was in Temple Square (SLC) when I was sixteen years old (36 years ago). My wife just got baptized and I wanted to present her with a gift that was (as close to) equal as to the one she had just received by her decision to join the LDS Church.

Beautiful ... always wanted one, and now I could afford to buy one!
by Ann - reviewed on October 02, 2008
What a beautiful statue to have in one's home. I can remember when as a child my mother took me to the Visitors Center in Salt Lake City, and we walked up what seemed a very long walkway, which had the night sky painted on it... then at the top....was the Christus statue - I stood in awe! Since that time, the outstretched arms of our Saviour depticted in this statue has had a profound effect on me. I am so glad that now I have a smaller replica in my own home, the wonder now is with me every day!
A terrific addition to a home
by Lisa - reviewed on October 05, 2008
This brings back so many memories of walking up the ramp in the visitor's center and seeing the Christus for the first time as a child. A wonderful reminder of Christ and His Atonement for every home.
First thing you see.....
by Tamara - reviewed on October 12, 2008
I have this statue on a shelf that you see as soon as you walk into my home. I think it helps people know that we try to follow Christ in our home. It sets the tone for those who visit. I would say this statue helps keep the spirit in our home.

Beautiful Addition to your home
by Customer - reviewed on October 17, 2008
The marble Christus, whether 12 inches, or 19 inches, would be a beautiful addition to any home. Place it where you will always see it, and that way you will always have Christ in your mind. My three year old loves to go to the temple just to see the Christus, and she is going to be so happy when it is in her own home for Christmas! What a perfect gift for the perfect time of year!
by Customer - reviewed on October 30, 2008
I have loved my statue in my living room. It helps remind us that Christ is always watching us and to be more like him. The design is beautiful...it's like having a visitors center right in your home!

I bought this for my Mom last Christmas and she really loved it. The statue is perfect and does not get dirty easily so dusting is not too much of a problem. I really thought this was nice compared to others because it is so much like the one in the temple visitor center in Salt Lake. I would definately recommend this if you are looking for a beautiful piece for yourself or as a gift.
A wonderful spirit envelops your home.
by Patricia - reviewed on June 25, 2013
Our son's beloved wife passed away suddenly, leaving him with a tiny four month old baby. My Husband and I moved in with him to help care for the baby. I brought my Christus Statue as I felt we needed it and for the peace it brings. One morning the baby was restless and seemed to be missing her Mother so I took her over to the Statue which was bathed in the early morning light. The baby literally jumped in my arms and threw her little arms around it like she knew him. The spirit was very strong and I knew she was enveloped in our Savior's love. I told her that her mother was with Jesus now and she seemed to know and was a much calmer child. What a blessing this has been to our family. The statue now sits on my organ under the picture "O Jerusalem" and I feel a special feeling whenever I play hymns of Jesus.
Disappointed in the color
by Elise - reviewed on December 14, 2012
Beautiful statue, but should be bright white like the ones in all the temples. I was so excited to get one and when I opened the box it was an ivory color. Bummer. I got the 19" statue on sale for about $80. Now I'm not sure whether to take it back and chance not ever finding a white one, let alone one at this amazing price.
Statue looks funny

There are some strange irregularities in the face and eyes of this statue. I need to send it back.
by Customer - reviewed on December 12, 2012
I got this for my mother, and was very excited when it finally came in the mail. It is very beautiful but the craftsmanship was not as beautiful. There was bumps and irregularities on and around the face. I was very sad that it was sent given its condition. I want to order another one but I'm scared that the craftsmanship will be as dissapointing as this one.
Unfortunately, the workmanship is very poor.
by Allison - reviewed on December 16, 2012
I'm sad to say that the Christus statue we received is not of very good workmanship. It is very yellowish cream colored, not white and the detail work extremely lacking. Extra material from the molding process hangs off the fingers, and the hands barely represent the real statue. We can actually see a seam where it appears the head may have broken off and then been "repaired"--needless to say, I'm very dissappointed.
by Customer - reviewed on November 16, 2013
I have wanted a Christus statue all my life, but sadly this one will be sent back. The hand finishing is very poor (among other things, the beard is foreshortened), there are three areas that are smudged or discolored, and the color is no kind of white, but a yellowed ecru. Deseret Book needs to require better quality control from Belosol Statuary.

(CORRECTION) At some point, the U.S. Department of Agriculture could be due for some high-level talks on a new specialty crop.
Chris Koger, News EditorAs in HIGH-level talks, that is.
With Colorado and Washington legalizing recreational use of marijuana in 2012, and 20 states and the District of Columbia allowing the medical use of marijuana, could there be a time when the leafy green herb is classified as a specialty crop?
Think of the implications: Grower-financed promotions through assessments, standardized grading overseen by marketing orders, university researchers competing for Specialty Crop Block Grant funding. Any testing programs would no doubt break the record for students applying to take part in the "research."
Although there are 38 "medicinal herbs" (including feverfew, pokeweed, skullcap and witch hazel) identified as specialty crops by the USDA, marijuana (even hemp seed) is not included.
Marijuana — medical or otherwise — is big business. According to a 2006 report based on federal statistics, my home state of Kansas ranked the value of the crop at $64 million.
Regardless of how the crop could/should be regulated in the future, the production of marijuana in California is making business for legitimate specialty crop growers more difficult.
According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, the legalization of medical marijuana and a crackdown on illegal operations has flushed some pot growers from the Sierra Nevada and into the Central Valley.
"We're sitting in a war zone," stone fruit grower Dennis Simonian told Wall Street Journal reporter Matt Black. Sheriff's deputies in 2012 raided a pot farm in rural Fresno on land adjacent to the Simonian family fruit operation.
According to the story, Fresno County sheriff deputies took out about 25,000 marijuana plants from a vegetable farm this summer. Vegetable growers are caught in the middle, according to the article, because marijuana growers in some cases are cutting down vegetable crops and planting their own crops.
According to the Journal, Fresno sheriff deputies have already identified 343 marijuana farms and yanked more than 136,000 plants this year. As this continues, expect marijuana growers to become more aggressive.
There's a showdown brewing in Hawaii over genetically modified crops, and it could kill a local crop that's been a clear victory for fruit growers.

ACCA's (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Annual Report for 2011/12 has been produced for the first time as an integrated report, following the initial approach set out by IIRC (International Integrated Reporting Council). ACCA is a member of IIRC's Pilot Programme for organisations seeking to move to integrated reporting.
Helen Brand, ACCA's chief executive, says: 'Our first integrated report aims to present a clear and coherent picture of our strategic performance, and our future prospects as a global organisation. It is important for us as a professional body to explain how we create value for our stakeholders – especially our members – and the place we occupy in society. This report is our first attempt at doing this using the emerging discipline of IR.'
Through IIRC, integrated reporting – or IR – aims to collate the material information about an organisation's strategy, governance, performance and prospects that reflects the commercial, social and environmental context within which the organisation operates.
ACCA's report lists key achievements for ACCA throughout the strategic year 2011/12 and discloses more performance measures than ever before. The report gives a fuller explanation around ACCA's strategic performance in the interests of greater transparency and accountability. Its content is based on materiality analysis which identifies the issues of importance to readers of our report, and an evaluation of how we create value for our stakeholders, especially our members. These are both key elements of the integrated reporting concept.
Dean Westcott, ACCA's President, says: 'This is a step forward in how we report our annual performance. ACCA has been involved in the work of the IIRC since its inception, and we welcomed their proposals to strengthen the relevance of corporate reporting to investors and other stakeholders. That is the point of this report, which alongside ACCA's Corporate and Social Responsibility statement and our financial accounts mean we are sharing with our stakeholders fuller and more relevant information on the progress ACCA is making towards its strategic goals.
'ACCA's involvement as an IR Pilot Programme organisation ensures that we can use our experience to contribute to the development of the global IR framework and learn from other major companies who are also moving down this path.'
ACCA's annual report, CSR statement and financial accounts are available via the 'Related Links' section, left of this article. This corporate information is released in advance of ACCA's Annual General Meeting, which takes place on Thursday 20 September 2012.

I like to think of this guy as being 100% straight, and a bit of an asshole. But then he has a moment of horny, narcissistic weakness when he pops a boner, and is giving me the eye.
I love my bikinis.....
Damn, Fullmonty! you know how! cock outline, fine. cock outlined in a pair of piss soaked undies, YUMMY!!
but just as great as to watch a cock outlined in a pair of briefs a guy is wearing, it´s even hotter to SNIFF the "contours" of a cock in a guy´s briefs once he´s out of them!
Recycled pic, but one of me for ya...
When a guy walks past, usually the first thing I look for is if he has any cock showing.
Found these....Guy in the pink is hot.

Grand Detour HEAVY META TOUR 2010
This month GD will be touring the globe with our sister organization Research Club.
The Heavy Meta tour will showcase a 60-70 minute presentation of film and video highlights featuring highlights from our popular Summer Screening series. The program (which will also travel throughout the United States this Winter) features short experimental works by Vanessa Renwick, Jon Behrens, Karl Lind, Julie Perini, Carl Diehl, Ben Popp, and others. Grand Detour founding member Dustin Zemel will use the tour to network with similar arts organizations and microcinemas in Glasgow, London and Berlin, discussing the future and pertinence of creative digital media exchanges in the realm of experimental film and video art.
As much as Grand Detour is passionate about making connections in Portland, we are equally invested in bringing together the international media arts community. Its our goal to make it that much easier for artists and organizations to find each other and seek out new audiences for screenings and discourse.
We also have a Kickstarter page up and running to help offset the costs of the tour. If you can, please consider donating a few bucks and spread the word to help support touring experimental film and video!

Griffith announces charges in Austgen killing
By Christin Nance Lazerus firstname.lastname@example.com April 25, 2013 12:03PM
Updated: May 29, 2013 7:02AM
GRIFFITH — The ex-wife of Ralph Perez Martinez was watching a news report on the Mary Austgen murder Monday night when she noticed the resemblance between Martinez and photos of the suspect. Adding to her suspicions, Martinez also was a former tenant of Austgen's business park in Griffith, court records state.
At first, Martinez was evasive, claiming that "That's not me" and "Lots of people with money get killed."
But when he heard about the $10,000 reward put up by the ATF and private parties, he uttered these unforgettable words: "Is that all I'm worth?"
Police announced that Martinez had been charged in the late-March kidnapping and murder of the 76-year-old St. John woman at a Thursday afternoon press conference.
Martinez, 57, of the 12200 block of Lawndale Street in Alsip, Ill., faces murder, robbery and criminal confinement charges. Martinez was arrested Tuesday night when Griffith and Alsip police served a search warrant. Police said Martinez worked as a mechanic at Austgen Industrial Park, located at 801 E. Main St., until he was evicted about a year or two ago.
In the early morning hours of March 29, Austgen was found dead of a gunshot wound to the abdomen in her 2011 Yukon Denali, which was parked at the Majestic Star Casino in Gary. Griffith and Gary police said she was attacked and kidnapped at gunpoint from her Griffith business around 5:40 p.m. the previous evening.
According to security cameras, a man in sunglasses and a Harley Davidson cap had entered the business at 2:42 p.m., but no employees saw him until he confronted Austgen in a stairwell with a silver semi-automatic handgun around 5:07 p.m. He escorted her back up the stairs and they went into Austgen's office for about 20 minutes before leaving.
The probable cause affiavit states that the camera stills were shown to employees, who recognized his face and checked records to discover his name was Ralph Martinez. Police checked Martinez's cell phone records on March 28, and he was present at both Austgen Electric and Majestic Star Casino.
After police announced a $10,000 reward on Monday, Griffith Police Chief Greg Mance said police received a tip from Martinez's ex-wife on Tuesday morning.
She told investigators that she saw a ring that resembled one of the two stolen from Austgen in her house. She put it in her daughter's jewelry box, but later it was gone. Police have not recovered the rings and are seeking the public's assistance in finding them. Police said Austgen was robbed of about $3,000 in cash. Martinez's ex-wife found the bag he was carrying in the security videos and the silver handgun as well.
Martinez was captured on security cameras being picked up by someone in a black four-door BMW at the Majestic Star around 6:45 p.m. on March 28. Police said they have spoken to the driver, who was cooperative and that person is no longer a suspect.
Mance was reticent about ascribing a motive in the killing, saying that Martinez has not yet given a statement. He thanked the public for responding with tips, as well as law enforcement from Gary Police, the FBI, ATF, and the Northwest Indiana Major Crimes Task Force.

LaForge began by explaining that the budget cut is simply an exercise in "belt-tightening" in order to trim unnecessary expenses.
"For the last eight to 10 years we've had a decline in enrollment," said LaForge, "not only a student enrollment decrease but also our cash reserve … as our enrollment has gone down, our expenses have gone up.
"We can't deny that we need to go on an expense diet," said LaForge. "This is a great opportunity for us to take a look at how we do business."
LaForge reassured that the budget cut would not affect students financially or academically.
"There is no effort to go after anything that is the meat of our programs," said LaForge.
He explained that the cuts would essentially be left up to the deans and chairs of the departments.
Intermim Provost Dr. Butch Caston and Chief Financial Officer Steven McClellan will be working with the deans and chairs to help them decide where unnecessary money is being spent.
"These guys (Caston and McClellan) are working through the deans and chairs," explained LaForge. "If you have ideas, tell them … so yes, it is a trickle down in a sense, but it will work straight down."
An advisory is currently in the works in order to help departments find and trim unnecessary expenses.
McClellan showed a slideshow that revealed how enrollment has steadily decreased over the last 10 years.
It also showed that in 2002, DSU had a cash reserve of approximately 8 million. As of 2013, the cash reserve has decreased to a mere $600,000, an amount that LaForge described as "unacceptable."
McClellan also noted that their next mission would be solving the retention issue.
A question and answer session followed the meeting.
Some of the faculty expressed concerns about whether they would be able to eventually "get back" the luxuries that they will be cut.
"Our short and intermediate mission is looking for ways to trim our expenses …" said LaForge. "This is a hiccup. We will get over this. In two years from now, we can talk about better compensation for staff."
"Give me a chance," said LaForge. "Give me a little trust … We really want to make this a temporary thing."

Luther Burbank: ``Plant Wizard'' Luther Burbank ranks as the most prolific and important produce breeder in American history. He created the Burbank potato, which still was the most widely grown potato variety 120 years after its introduction in 1873. He also bred more than 100 varieties of other plants, most notably plums, some of which remained in commercial cultivation into the 1970s. Inspired by the work of geneticist and evolution theorist Charles Darwin, 26-year-old Burbank headed west in 1875 on a train from his home in Lunenburg, Mass., with the $150 he received for selling a ``better'' potato. With him he took 10 of the potatoes, enough to eventually introduce the Burbank variety to the West Coast states. From the experimental nursery he began in 1875 in Santa Rosa, Calif., his extensive cross breeding efforts created a plethora of new plants in the next 60 years. His plants were grown worldwide and featured in virtually every seed catalog on the market. As Burbank's varieties became famous, so did he. He was unanimously elected an honorary member of the American Breeders' Association at its opening meeting in St. Louis in 1903. He pushed Congress to recognize the right of plant breeders to patent their products. Edward Wickson, former head of the Department of Horticulture at the University of California, a noted Burbank scholar, wrote in 1905 that Burbank had more than pioneered fruits. He ``has unearthed the laws that have governed their production and made bare truths that will live and benefit humanity even if they should ever cease to eat plums or care for potatoes.''
Joseph John ``J.J.'' Castellini J.J. Castellini founded what became know as the ``House of Castellini'' in 1923 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and began building the firm into a major force in Midwestern produce distribution. Through a strategy of carrying broadline products, vertical integration, partnerships and stakes in such businesses as trucking, intermodal transportation, fresh-cut produce, brokering and service wholesaling, the firm became one of the few old-line commission merchants to thrive into the 1990s. At 15, Castellini began his career in 1891 as a clerk and fruit handler for the M. Fugazzi & Co. commission merchant firm in Cincinnati. By night he was a student, taking bookkeeping courses. With his new skills he took a position with A.H. Gray & Co. and in 1898 -- with $500 to his name -- the 20-year-old Castellini became a partner with William M. Gray and William H. Krohne under the name William M. Gray & Co. Two years later he bought out his partners and incorporated the firm in 1923 as the J.J. Castellini Co. Four years later it became The Castellini Co. Castellini's son Robert led the company for a time and formed the Cincinnati Produce Growers Association and was instrumental in the evolution of the wholesaling business into a full-service, value-added marketer. J.J.'s granddaughter, Claire (Thornton), and grandson, Bob, helped build the firm into a distribution network serving 25 states by the 1990s

The new format of the FFG boards has opened my eyes to whole new avenues of gaming. Pardon my ignorance, but I had no idea there was a Beowulf board game (let alone two from the same publisher!). I take it there are very different game mechanic between The Legend and The Movie? I ask because I fully intend to get my local retailer to get one or both in stock. Maybe its naive of me to ask which you would recommend.
Having a Honours degree in English makes me particularly interested in the notion of playing the role of a Thane for while. To be honest, the prospect of the cgi film did nothing to spark my imagination (I have yet to see it). What I'm getting at in a very round-a-bout way is asking if this game captures the flavour and spirit of the legend?

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that begins during pregnancy and usually resolves after the baby is born.
During pregnancy, placental hormones (growth hormone, prolactin, cortisol, placental lactogen, progesterone) are produced that can block the effectiveness of insulin, leading to a relative insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body convert food into energy. Without insulin, glucose from the food you eat cannot enter cells, and glucose builds up in the blood.
In most women, the pancreas increases insulin production enough to offset this resistance. When the pancreas fails to keep pace, gestational diabetes occurs. In addition to causing problems for the mother, the excess glucose in the blood can cross the placenta and cause problems for the baby.
Complications for women with gestational diabetes mellitus include an increased chance of:
Complications affecting the fetus or infant include:
- Macrosomia (abnormally large baby) and problems during delivery (such as, shoulder dystocia )
- Respiratory distress syndrome (breathing problems)
- Other conditions (such as, low blood glucose levels, low calcium levels, high bilirubin levels)
- Increased rate of stillbirth
Children whose mothers had gestational diabetes are at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes .
If you have gestational diabetes, maintaining good control over your glucose levels during pregnancy significantly reduces the risk of complications to you and to your baby.

This week, I felt like I could hear a Skittle hit the carpet floor in this office. Half of the Seventeen interns were away on spring breakand I missed them! And being the nosy person that I am, it made me want to sleuth around the Internet to see what kind of celebrity spring-break plans I could uncover. It turns out that my Crush of the Week, Trevor Jackson, has been getting his March Madness on early! He was seen shooting hoops with his older brother Ian in L.A. this weekand judging by the pictures, it looks like he was the one to beat! I absolutely adore that hes so close with his big bro. Even though Im way too unqualified to dunk with my younger brother (Coming in at 53 inches short Devin Tomb! Sigh, that doesnt quite work ), I love having a brother that Im really close to and can talk to about anything. Dont get me wrong, sometimes it can be tough keeping the peace with your siblings (especially if you have to share clothes with your sister like Carrie and Dorrit on The Carrie Diaries!), but I think a super-glue tight brother or sister bond can be such a big bonus in your life.
Two other reasons Trevor is crush-worthy this week: He recently came out with a super-cute music video Like We Grown, starring one of my girl crushes, Zendaya, and Wikipedia also tells me that this hottie once played Simba in The Lion King on Broadway. I mean adorable.
So, whats new with you? Are you crushing on anyone new this week? Tell me in the comments or tweet me @devin_tomb! Oh, and before you go, you have GOT to check out this new roundup of the hottest college athletes. Crush after crush after crush

The editors explained the reason their version is call "Queen" James, claiming that "Commonly known to biographers but often surprising to most Christians, King James I was a well-known bisexual."
Their online Editor's note admits, "Revelation says not to 'edit the book,' and people often extend that to mean the entire Bible, not just the book of Revelation." Perhaps they are unaware that Deuteronomy 4:2 also warns, "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you." — KJV.
One modification given is at 1 Timothy 1:10, where the King James Version reads, "For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine."
Editors of the Queen James Version said, "Given the context and theme of all our edits, we have changed 'defile themselves with mankind' to simply 'defile themselves.'"
Regarding the notorious incident in Sodom at Genesis chapter 19, editors of the Queen James Version says, "We side with most Bible scholars who understand the story of Sodom and Gomorra to be about bullying strangers."
"Most Bible scholars" may be surprised to learn that their understanding of the events in Sodom were reduced to an act of bullying. But to be fair, let us take a closer look at the account.
According to Genesis 19:8-9, Lot said to the mob who were demanding that he bring out the men so that they could "know" them, "Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them." — KJV.
Does the fact that Lot was willing to send out his daughters in place of the two men, and that the mob became upset at Lot for judging them, suggest their intentions was simply to intimidate? When given the choice to have their way with women or men, they clearly preferred the men. Wouldn't bullies prefer weaker victims? Does this sound like mere bullies behaving badly? While this incident may have included aspects of bullying, this attempt at rape was clearly aimed at men — not women.
Regarding Jude verse 7, where the King James Version reads, "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire."
Editors of the Queen James Version responded: "Given our clarification of the story of Sodom, we chose to highlight the fact that the male mob in Sodom raped angels, which is 'strange' in that it is nonhuman. We changed the verse to the following, 'Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after nonhuman flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.'"
Look again at the account. No one "raped angels." The verse simply states that Sodom and Gomorrah was "going after" something. Second, the Bible is clear at Genesis 19:5 that this mob did not view Lot's visitors as angels. They thought they were "men" — not "nonhuman flesh."
Then, in addressing Leviticus 18:22 where the King James Version reads, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination," and Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death," The Queen James Version inserted the phrase "in the temple of Molech" in both verses to imply the abomination was not having same-sex relations, but having same-sex relations "in the temple of Molech," making this an issue of pagan idolatry instead of illicit sex.
The editors said, "Since abominable offenses aren't all punishable by death like this one leads us to believe there was translative error at some point." Taking such liberties in translation, may horrify the avid Bible reader who is loyal to a more traditional version of the Bible. But all translations are subject to bias and some are more bias than others. So choose your translation wisely.
Although the Bible must be translated into different languages, including modern English, Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that God's Word "is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." — KJV.
If this book can reveal what our ulterior motives are, all translators would be wise to exercise caution when translating God's Word.

Energy: without it, we labor through our days. Everything we attempt to accomplish takes twice as long as it should, or just gets pushed to next day's to-do list, lording over over our head like a guillotine. This occurs over and over again, creating more stress and I-cannot-catch-up-with-my-life syndrome.
Great sleep and a sound live food diet (versus a constant intake of processed, preserved food stuff) add to the demise of our energies precious stores.
Most individuals I counsel have tried embracing remedies such as more exercise, earlier to bed, lights out by 10pm, or even ramping up their healing cycle by sleeping eight-plus hours per night. If you've addressed your "on again, off again" diet with little to no success, consider trying a product called ATP Fuel from Researched Nutritionals.
Think of this product as CPR for the cells. ATP, in the world of nutrition, is termed 'mitochondrial resuscitation.' The mitochondria of a cell is where combustion and energy happen. ATP is fundamental to converting the food we eat into cellular energy, thereby recharging not only not only the heart's pump, but also all of your millions of cells. ATP also protects your gums and arteries, regulates fatty acid build-up known as plaque, all while decreasing cellular oxidative stress.
The best way to use this product is to first rate your energy on a scale of 1 to 10. If your energy is rated at 5 or below, it is best to load-up on this product. Take five capsules 30 minutes before breakfast and 30 minutes before breakfast or dinner for the first two months, then decrease to only five capsules per day before breakfast.

Islamic Shura Council Celebration
June 4, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Susan Schwartz, MMNS
The Islamic Shura Council of Southern California (ISCSC) celebrated its fifteenth anniversary at a banquet/fundraiser this past Saturday evening in the Anaheim Sheraton Hotel in Anaheim, Ca.The event was titled: "Together, Yes We Can".
The hotel ballroom was filled to its capacity of 450 people. The keynote speaker of the celebration was Professor Jamal Badawi.
Other speakers in cluded Arif Ali Khan, the former Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles. He bid the attendees farewell as he prepared to leave the Los Angeles area for Washington, D. C. There he will serve as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Professor Agha Saeed of the American Muslim Task Force (AMT) spoke of the aftermath of 9/11 and the struggle of the Muslim Community against the pervasive atmosphere of Islamophobia and hatred. It was a struggle against the tide – a very strong tide – to prevent Muslims in America from being marginalized and silenced.
Professor Saeed traced the accomplishments of the Muslim community on a local, state and national level in the political arena. He issued five demands from Muslims to the Department of Justice. These demands included a cessation to the infiltration by spies of mosques and an end to the introduction of agents provocateur. In addition there was to be a cessation of attempts to undermine Muslim groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
"We will chose our own leaders" said Professor Saeed.
Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, the outgoing Chair of the ISCSC, spoke of the need to continue in our efforts as a Muslim community.
Shakeel Syed recognized prominent people in the audience including members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). Members of the church have worked closely with Muslims in interfaith activities.
He then presented a brief film showing the work of the ISCSC. This work included education and testimony about torture practiced by the United States.
A poignant scene from Disneyland showed Disney characters being arrested by police. The reality was far from comic. The ISCSC had joined with other groups to protest the subhuman treatment of hotel workers in various locales, including Disneyland. A number of protesters, including Master of Ceremonies, Shakeel Syed, were arrested. A spokesperson for the SEIU (the relevant union) spoke in praise of Muslims in general and Shakeel Syed in particular.
"He was unafraid."
The ISCSC also held an interfaith ceremony to mourn the victims of Israeli aggression in Gaza.
There were community service awards and closing remarks. During the course of the evening successful fundraising took place. It was an occasion of socializing – seeing friends again – and internalizing the gains of the Muslim community. It was also an occasion of recognizing the work still to be done.
"We have done alot to be proud of" said one young woman.
"Yes," said her table mate "and there is so much more that needs to be done".

Good morning and have a good week everyone.
shh now AIWWTH.....fanks Carola. maybe Belle caught a real mouse, and is hiding it.
Sharona, beautiful picture...
they have been promising rain for 4days, and so far no rain...we need a little rain.
hope everyone has a good sunday.
Marlene, when are you going in for surgery?
Good morning ladies,
Well it looks like I might be going down to N.O. The hospital kept my dad for test and x-rays. It seems that his fall broke 8 ribs and punctured his lung. I talked to him yesterday and could hardly get anything out of him because he was so drugged. He thought I was my other sister. He did ask if I was coming down. His dr called my sis in Ca and told her that his situation was not looking good. He also said if he got pneumonia he might not make it. He told my sis that if he did make it he could be in the hospital for weeks and then on to a rehab hospital for weeks. This will be a long and painful stay for my dad. Prayers please!
Today is our church picnic. We don;t have to be at church until 12 and eat afterwards. I decided to fix a big casserole of mac n cheese and a peach dump cake.
Diva D 11:30 Wed for lunch at McAlister's is fine if all goes well with my dad.
Laureen you asked me a hundred questions. My dad is not doing well. They are keeping him sedated with pain meds. My cousin and his neighbor have been by to see him. They both said that he was sleeping the whole time. The nurse did get him up to talk to me for a few minutes. DS is still working and loving his job. He is still going with the same girlfriend. She is a little possessive and jealous. She doesn't want him seeing his friends who are all girls. I think she has a cause to be jealous with two of the girls who would love to have him for their boyfriend.
Carol Belle may have another fur ball that she is trying to throw up! She might have wanted you to help her.
Sharon is all quiet on the western front with the relatives? Your pic is so beautiful. It makes me want to come there and see it for myself!
Diva N I hope you get rain. We got lots of it a few days ago that caused us to get our septic tank pumped out. It has been over 16-20 yrs. since we had it done.
Have a blessed Sunday,
Hi all. I'm up and eating my eggs and stuff. I tried to get in and say "hi" earlier, but the app on my phone is not as easy as on the computer ... could not do it.
Hope everyone has the best week in history. Hah! We shall see, we shall see.
Morning! Oh Karen, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. It was hard for me to believe that an 88 year old could fall from any height and not hurt something. What the doctor says makes sense. The important thing is for him not to get pneumonia. The longer they lie in bed the weaker they get which is why they need rehab after the ribs start to heal. Right now it's a fine line between controlling the pain and him being too sleepy. Went through that with DH so many years ago. I will be keeping him on my prayer list. If you are taking a vote about whether to go or not? I'd say bye bye!! Glad things are still going well for G.
Sharon, that is a gorgeous picture!! Wish I could be there and just sit and watch it. Every once in awhile I see a picture or something in my life that just gives me a real sense of peace in my belly and this is one of those. Had a real instance again when we were in Cherokee with the kids. They are nice to remember and think about when things get rough!
Carol, sounds like Belle is a talker like Fion, though he doesn't talk much at night. She obviously wanted something!
Kim here is the website for the meditation class Nat, Doris and I signed up for. http://www.oprah.com/own/First...tion-Challenge-Video It's free and if you sign up and don't take it there's no loss. It's all up to you.
That's the problem with your own business is no one to pass the buck too and all of the customers turn into bosses! LOL!
Well need to eat and do something today. Will stop back later. Have a wonderful day!
Oh Karen - that is such a shame about your father. I certainly understand if you go down there now to see about him. When it rains, it pours. You have got to get your whole family in good health!! If you do go down, be careful you don't overdo things with your leg and hurt yourself more. You know that you will want to tackle the cleaning while your father is out of the house.
Kim, if that link to the website doesn't work, I just googled "Oprah meditation" and found it. We shall see - not sure what is involved but if Nat's teacher said it is good, that is good enough for me.
Got to get ready for church - have a beautiful day and just remember Sharon's picture and relax.
Karen..go and go easy. Hire someone to do any heavy stuff. I hope your father is pain free and recovers from this. Take your therapist advice with you. All the best wishes and thoughts.
I will have you know, that none of me potted plants are fake, so there. my little circle in front of the house is real. but I do have four big pots of fake impatience/marigold in front of the house... so there...
Karen, take it very easy, you don't want to go backwards with your health.
And Carola is not a nice person...shesshh....
Karen, so sorry to hear about your Dad. You all are in my thoughts and prayers, glad you are going to see him. Just be careful and don't undo all your recent progress! Hugs!
Well, I did start sewing, have the first dress almost done. I am attaching the skirt, then have to install the zipper and finish the front yoke and hem. Then on to the next one!
Trying to talk myself out of blueberry pie…..must not screw up my A1C on Thursday. So maybe next Sunday I will have it then with vanilla bean ice cream too! Dee
Have a great day girls!
Love that article, Carol. I'm sure it doesn't look as good up close but sure looked a lot better than nothing! Going to look into a little of that next year. I have a space in the back that needs help!
oh you two are so not nice. mine flowers on da deck ain't no fake, all pots are real...REAL REAL REAL...
Did anybody say anything about Nat's fake flowers? She who denies things too quickly seems guilty in my eyes!! Carol, you just showed her an interesting article.
Poor your dad, Karen ... that is sure to be painful.
Thanks for the meditation class link!
Just had Kailey to the ER ... we had to leave church with her because she has been somewhat sick without much more definition. Her head ached this morning and got so bad that she was really ill. We've all got migraine, but that's not what it looked like, so my Katie FREAKED WAY OUT and said we had to do the ER RIGHT THEN. So we did. They gave her a three-med dose of Benadryl, Raglan, and some other thing. It sent her straight to night-night land. She woke up feeling great, and we went home. All is well.
Nat, your "flowers" are lovely.
I love Kimmie, she is always nice to me (unlike some two people I know_)...thank you for believing in moi Kimmie....
Wow, what a thing with Kailey...shesshhhh hope she is ok. What happened?
Nat we all know you love Kimmie the most. I know your flowers are real and beautiful too! The others pick on you cause they like you too! That's what my dad used to say. I too am sure those flowers look much different up close than from a distance!
Karen any news on dad? Is your CA sister going out? Do you have another one who lives closer? Hope he is doing ok. Hope you enjoyed the picnic.
Carol did Belle finally settle down?
Had another lazy day today. Got the wash and shopping done at least! There's always tomorrow!
Have a great day tomorrow.
Karen, your poor dad! Must be so painful. You must be so anxious to get down there and take care of things and see him. Will be praying for him.
Kim, what a day you had! Glad Kailey is better. What a headache that must have been!
Dee, you made good progress with the sewing! My grandmother always fussed if we did any needlework on Sunday. She would say, "Sew on Sunday, ravel it out on Monday."
It is almost tomorrow, better close for now!
And WHERE is Sharona??????
Yep, Laureen, you have always been one of my favourites.......yep, you have.
Thanks Carol! I think I got some sleep, anyway I feel rested. Glad Belle was good last night. I was afraid she was coming down with something. Cats that get outside eat grass when they have a tummy upset or a hair ball.
Still no rain here. DH is having to water the flowers more. The garden is drying up. We should continue to get okra and there are some tomatoes left.
Sharon, are you still sticking to SB? I need to get my SB books out and get strict for awhile. Too much fried okra and Kefir ice cream. Portion control is way off too.
Will check back later.
OK, I am turning into THAT poster ... the one who constantly whines and whinges. This morning, my long-legged cat Max, wanted out. Out he goes. He wants in. In he comes. He yowls at me (because he is a constant talker), follows me into my room, gets in the dirty clothes hamper, and pees. Oh, Max!!!!!!!!!
I'm off to see the eye doc this morning. Then work, as usual. Hope all have a great Monday, including those with awful relatives among them.
Where is Sharona?????
good luck at the eye doc. does Max usually pee anywhere?
Another day of local "sfida". My zone came in second. Here they are the red team.
Laureen, don't listen to your dad - that isn't why we "pick on Nat". We do it because she has fake flowers and we don't like her.
Sorry your team didn't win, Sharon, but do like the picture. Are you still walking in the mornings?
Virginia, when you mentioned the okra I realized that I haven't seen any this year at the farmers market or the stores. Will have to look for it in particular. I am going to make eggplant parmigian tonight. OK, can't spell that either. I will probably be sorry for turning on the oven but it sounds so good. Just can't remember what I used to dip the eggplant in before browning it.
So glad Belle has decided to sleep again. No telling what was on her mind the other night.
I'm going to make a lasagne using eggplant strips as "noodles." I think I'll cut them on the mandolin. I also think I'll eggwash them, then put them in psyllium husks&flax seed as a breading, then roll them around some Kraft low-fat ricotta, top with a light homemade marinara (with red wine in it "slurp") and make a rollatini.
You SBD babes need to check out Trim Healthy Mama, I'm not kidding. You can't follow it to the letter because it's not 100% correct IMO, but the principle of not mixing fuel sources of fat vs. carb is sound, and works to straighten out a lot of health and weight issues. (Every meal does have a lean protein source - does not have to be meat.) I'm loving it and physically, am feeling good.
Only thing is the price. You have to buy the book, and it's $30 plus shipping, no matter where you go. Then you need stuff like flax meal, almond meal, and a few other things to have on-hand.
Hi ladies,
I have been talking to my dad every day and he is doing better. He says it hurts when he coughs. He didn't know he had broken 8 ribs and punctured a lung. He is getting breathing treatment to prevent pneumonia. My cousins and his neighbor are going there almost everyday to visit with him. They are letting us know how he is doing also. I will continue to go to my therapy as long as he is doing better. My sisters and I will go out there in a couple of weeks. If he turns for the worst we will be there in a day. Prayers are working!! Thanks you. Dad's two neighbors told me that they will finish his roof on his shed before he gets home. They are so sweet and kind to do so!
Our church picnic was fun. We had food and games afterwards. There was badminton and rocket throw which I didn't play but I threw horseshoes and didn't fall. I wore my sandals with just a little pain. I took off my sandals and compression sock when I got home. It felt better after. I will put the compression sock on in a little while.
Laureen my sisters and I decided that we would all go together in a few weeks. My younger sis just got back Sunday from a week's vacation on Tybee Island so she can't take off work for a while. If he wasn't doing well we would have gone. As long as he is doing well than we can get our business together so that we can stay with him for a while. Please continue to keep him on your prayer list. Dad is a fighter! He doesn't give up too easily! I hope this helps him to get well soon.
Diva D I will finish my two weeks of therapy if dad continues to do well. My cousin is sending me pics of her visits with my dad to show me how he looks. When I go I will not do anything that I know will undo my therapy for my foot and leg. My sisters will tackle the heavy stuff. I will meet you at McAlister's this Wed at 11:30.
Sharon my dad is mostly pain free and recovering well for his age. Glad he kept in good shape. He walked a lot. Good job red team for coming in second!
Thanks Carol for your prayers. Glad that Belle was not so needy!
Diva N I will take it easy when I go there. I promise!!
Dee thanks so much and I will be careful. I will take a cane with me. Glad you got in the mind to do the sewing.
Kimmie he is in pain when he coughs. They have him medicated but he is eating and taking breathing treatments. He is starting to not sleep as much. He called me on his cell phone and talked to me. Oh, Max!!
Virginia dad is doing better. I am anxious to get down there but I need to finish my therapy. He is going to be in the hospital a long time and than rehab. My sisters and I will have to be with him a long time. Sorry to hear that your plants are all dying. My plants have died a long time ago!
Have a good one,
Evening. Yea Red team! Good job at getting 2nd place. Love the picture Sharon. What do they do in the "competition"?
Karen so happy to hear that dad is doing better and is more awake. It will be so important for him to continue the breathing exercises and taking deep breathes to prevent the pneumonia. He is going to need help when he comes even if it is from the rehab place. You are so lucky to have such good neighbors who will check in on him and finish that darn roof! Forgot you got the cousin there too so at least there is some family locally. Glad you had a good time at the picnic.
Kimmie I'd have tossed him out on his butt if he had done that in my dirty clothes. That is unusual isn't it? They say when they go outside the litter box it indicates something may be wrong. But then again, I remember when you smelled something and finally found it, was Max the culprit then too? Don't want to say much, but I've been lucky and not had any problems like that.
Virginia we are drying up now too. Believe it or not there are 3 little cukes on each of these sickly looking plants that are about withered up. Will leave them alone and see what happens. We still have tomatoes and finish ripening them in the window so the squirrels or whatever don't get them.
Carol how was Belle today? Fion talks alot too. He chirps like a bird many times. And then of course I chirp back. LOL!
Nat, you are a favorite too! I know your flowers are real and others are jealous they can't grow beautiful flowers like you. You need to come take care of mine! LOL!
Work went fine today. New scheduler has already resigned so today was her last day. No sense in continuing training. So far new boss is okay. Actually took a lunch and a short walk and cleaned out my car too! LOL! Well best get to bed. Didn't sleep well last night so probably will tonight. DH is irritable so I'm ignoring him! LOL!
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow and I'll be back in the evening.
Good morning,
Not much happening here. The UN lost her key and Andy had to get up and let her in at 1:30AM. She likes the night life....
I bought an immersion blender (this must have another name) yesterday. My mission for its use will be to make soap out of old olive oil. I also bought some vanilla scent. Next will be looking for moulds.
Carol, it will be sunny all day here.
Ahhhhh....good mornin
I like Laureen....... Doris, who is the "WE" that you are talking about.... I don't hear any other "wes"... shesshh
Karen, hope dad is doing better....
Paul started PT yesterday, he has a lot of work....
I have PT this morning. She is going to try this warm blowing machine on my foot and leg. I hope it is a good experience.
I talked to dad and he recognized my voice and called me by my right name. He also told me that he is in a lot of pain. I told him that if I broke 8 ribs, a sternum and punctured a lung I would be hurting too. His nurse said that dad told him he was going to walk out and go home. Now the bed rails are up to prevent him from leaving his bed. He is feisty! My sis in Ca might go out next week and I will go out the following week with my sis who lives near me. She want to make sure all his bills are paid and put them on her computer so that she can pay them online when she is not there. He will be there for a long time. It will be hard to keep him from wanting to go home. He will not come to live with any of us or his brother in Ca. He wants to stay in his own home in N.O. We will get him someone when he comes home and we have to leave to cook, clean and make sure he takes his meds and breathing treatment.
Laureen I am so happy he is in a good hospital. The nurses give us reports on dad by phone. His dr and case worker calls my sis to keep her informed. He gets breathing treatment and doesn't complain too much. We will be going to N.O. a couple of times to be there for him before and after he gets out of rehab. Glad work is getting better with the new boss!
Carol can't you just grab Belle and brush her? Will she scratch you? I would hate to have to pick up fur balls!!!
Sharon poor Andy! That is a good idea to make soap with your immersion blender. I wanted one to puree my veggies in my soups.
Diva N I hope Paul is able to do all his PT exercises. They really help! It might hurt a little but in the long run he will feel and do better with his walking.
Good morning everyone. Getting used to the BTS routine this morning so I am up and about early. School starts next week.
Karen, so many concerns for your Dad. Glad your sister is taking over his financial concerns for the moment. Glad he is resting, I sure hope he doesn't get it into his head to leave. It must be so hard for such an independent man.
Seeing A Most Wanted Man tonight. I love Phillip Seymour Hoffman, he will be missed.
Hello Ladies...
Traded lazy river for overflowing garden and high grass last evening.
Have Dr. appt today, so will be very brief.
Karen...sounds like you are doing better...your Dad is as feisty as his daughter...or vice versa..!
Haven't really had time to read the posts...but am thinking that Marlene has surgery this week...is that right?
Will try to get back tonight, but have mucho garden veggies to tend...so dunno.
Hugs to all...(( )), Rags
I traded a hectic, busy day, writing an article for the state newsletter and now I'm having a lazy day on the porch with the book Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker. It is for the book club at the library and I had heard that it was really a good book. So far, so good. Was going to go for a walk after washing the hair but it is raining. Good. No Walk Today.
Going out to eat tonight with some friends and then lunch tomorrow with Karen. What a great week! So glad your dad is doing as well as he is. I cannot believe the pain he must be in. Is he up walking? Glad your sis is going down and getting the bills on her computer. Maybe she can put a stop to some of the "extra" spending and get things more in order. I'm thinking about subscriptions etc. We will talk tomorrow.
Bye - D
Good morning! Karen, I'm glad your Dad is getting better. I hope he doesn't try to climb over the bed rails; my Mom did that and fell and broke her collar bone. She was in an extended care home, though, and maybe she wasn't watched as well as the hospital would. She had it in her mind that she wanted to get up to go to the bathroom.
Carol, do you give Belle hairball medicine? There is a malt flavoured one that they will lick right off your finger, it is so good tasting. It seemed to help our kitties. I have to brush Max's fur every day so he won't get more mats. He tolerates the front of his body being done, but hates to have his back end brushed. It's a real struggle, because he starts to bite.
Glad to see you're back, Rags. Our weather is so dry, I have to be watering daily. I just do the gardens, and the lawns are going brown. We had a good rain about 2 weeks ago but nothing since and none in sight. It's getting a bit cooler, though. I hope your doctor appt goes well.
Sharon, I love my immersion blender. I use it to puree my veggie soup like Karen does.
Dee, your kids sure go back to school early! Our kids don't go back til September, the day after Labour Day. The teachers went on strike in early June and haven't settled yet, though, so who knows when they will go back. The kids have had a really long summer break. I'm glad I don't have any in school any more.
Nat, I hope Paul's PT goes well.
Hi, Doris, you are one busy lady! I'll have to look for that book. I wish we would get some rain. Everything is parched here and we're worried about wildfires.
Hi to all I missed. Must be off to grocery store!

I was born and raised in Hobart, Tasmania, and as soon as I earned my BA from UTas I followed the long tradition of Tasmanian university graduates by leaving the state to find a job.
Naturally I moved to Australia's UNESCO City of Literature – Melbourne, Victoria (not to be confused with that impostor city, Melbourne, Florida) and was surprised to find that job openings for graduates of a random assortment of history units were in short supply. Luckily for me the City of Boroondara was looking for a dozen library officers at the same time and I entered the wonderful world of public libraries.
I earned my Grad Dip Info Mgt from RMIT University a few years later and spent the next two years singing "open shut them" every Monday and Thursday as a Youth Services Librarian. I'm currently Information Management and Kew Librarian, still at the City of Boroondara.
When not managing a suburban library branch, I'm thinking about the critical role of information flow in robust democracies, the future of publishing, and the politics of information. Sometimes I write about these things on my blog. I'm also the author of a chapter in the forthcoming ALA publication about the future of libraries, Library 2025.
