How to Handle the Ever-Changing Landscape of eDiscovery
December 26, 2014
The article titled Five eDiscovery Lessons from Top Firms That Lawyers Can Implement Now on Above The Law offers advice culled from the strategies of successful firms. Several of the tips are simple enough, that lawyers should focus their goals and research and remember that in spite of the amount of information out there, cases are typically still "won and lost with a handful of witnesses and a few dozen documents." The article also warns against overhyping predictive coding, as well as being overly cautious about judicial approval of technology. Perhaps the most interesting advice is item #5, which suggests flexibility and creativity in the most innovative firms,
"(They may not be the firms you think…).These firms are willing to accept and even embrace the reality that discovery is a messy process and knowledge of the case is constantly evolving. The firms that are able to get through it the best are doing so by building flexible workflows that can adapt to changes in the understanding of the case. They are willing to experiment with search technologies and processes to find the key information in their data."
Ultimately the article claims that it is grappling with the constant evolution of eDiscovery technology that will set certain lawyers and their firms apart.

Information Governance Standards Group Suggests Caution in Approaching eDiscovery
November 14, 2014
The records management group ARMA International weighs in about search with an article in their Information Management magazine: "Enterprise Search vs E-Discovery Search: Same or Different?" The short answer, not surprisingly, is "different." Writer Kamal Shah explains:
"To date, most enterprises have used the same search technologies for both tasks. However, a recent trend among large and small enterprises suggests that a significant divergence is occurring between enterprise searches and e-discovery searches. Both start by entering a search term in a search box, but that's where the similarities end. The business requirements are different and, as a result, each needs different capabilities."
The article goes on to elaborate on the reasons traditional enterprise search is not sufficient for most eDiscovery needs. For example, while a regular enterprise user may be looking for the top five or 10 documents that relate to a search term, a firm performing an eDiscovery search in response to litigation must turn up all relevant documents (while minimizing irrelevant clutter.) Users of eDiscovery must also be prepared to prove in court that they followed best practices in assembling their data. Shah summarizes:
"Conducting e-discovery for litigation or an investigation using enterprise search technology is a risky gamble that can result in negative outcomes in court, penalties, and excessive litigation costs."
See the article for more details, but the upshot is clear: eDiscovery is an environment where it is becoming increasingly crucial to use the right tool for the data-digging job.

Take Time Choosing an eDiscovery Solution
November 11, 2014
There is no escaping it: eDiscovery requirements are having a huge impact on today's law practices. Reporter Shane Schick at Canadian Lawyer tells us why firms must not take the issue lightly in "Chasing Data: Legal Report: E-Discovery." Though vendors might promise the auto-delivery of everything one needs for any case "at the push of a button," the reality is much, much more complicated. In fact, the management of eDiscovery is literally a full-time position at many firms and, where it isn't, it probably should be.
Schick writes:
"It's probably best if law firms recognize that developing an e-discovery strategy and getting the right products to execute it is going to take some time. [Forensic-services lawyer Peter] Vakof estimates that in some cases, acquiring the tools through standard procurement can take up to 18 months. [eDiscovery pro Susan] Wortzman suggests making it easier by doing all the information gathering upfront to make the right purchasing decision. This includes a thorough look at what kind of cases crop up that typically require e-discovery, the volume of data involved, and which clients are good at self-collecting data versus those who need help with the forensics. [Secure-applications expert Chris] Grossman agrees — even if firms decide to outsource, it's better to 'level it out' by having a vendor on retainer, rather than spend more during a peak period when several e-discovery cases crop up at once."
See the piece for discussion of the complexities involved in eDiscovery, as well as a helpful list of questions to consider before choosing a solution. Schick notes that the intricacies around eDiscovery will likely affect the qualifications firms look for in employees. Will no prestigious field remain a safe haven for the tech-avoidant?

ZyLabs Mary Mack Urges Caution with Predictive Coding
July 9, 2014
An article titled ZyLAB's Mary Mack on Predictive Coding Myths and Traps for the Unwary on The eDisclosure Information Project offers some insight into the trend of viewing predictive coding as some form of "magic." This idea is quickly brushed aside and predictive coding is allocated back to the realm of statistics and technology. The article quotes Mary Mack of ZyLab,
"Machine learning and artificial intelligence for legal applications is our future. It's a wonderful advance that the judiciary is embracing machine-assisted review in the form of predictive coding. While we steadily move into the second and much less risky generation of predictive coding, there are still traps and pitfalls that are better considered early for mitigation. This session and the session on eDiscovery taboos will expose a few concerns to consider when evaluating predictive coding for specific or portfolio litigation."
In this article ZyLab offers a counterpoint to Recommind, which asserted in a recent article that predictive coding was to eDiscovery like a GPS is to driving cross-country. ZyLab prefers a much more cautious approach to the innovative technology. The article stresses an objective, fact-based discussion on the merits and pitfalls of predictive coding is a necessary step in its growth.

Predictive Coding for eDiscovery Users in a Hurry
July 9, 2014
The article on Recommind titled Why eDiscovery Needs GPS (And a Soundtrack) whimsically applies the basic tenets of GPS to the eDiscovery process with the aid of song titles. If you can get through the song titles bit, there is some meat to the article, though not much. He suggests several areas where predictive coding might make eDiscovery easier and more efficient. The author explains his thinking,
"A good eDiscovery navigator will help you take a reliable Estimation Sample… early on to determine the statistically likely number of responsive documents for any issue in your matter. It will then plot that destination clearly, along with the appropriate margin of error, and show your status toward it at every point along The Long and Winding Road. It should also clearly display the responsiveness levels you're experiencing with each iteration as you review the machine-suggested document batches."
The type of guidance and efficiency that predictive coding offers is already being utilized by companies conducting internal investigations and "reviewing data already seized by a regulatory agency." The author conditions the usefulness of predictive coding on its being flexible and able to recalculate based on any change in direction.When speed and effectiveness are of paramount importance, a GPS for eDiscovery might be the best possible tool.

OpenText: Poetry Is Better than Its Search Systems
May 1, 2014
OpenText has a special place in the Overflight archive. The company once sort of supported the Autonomy IDOL engine in something called RedDot. Then OpenText sells mainframey search systems like Information Dimension' now really old BASIS system and the BRS/Search system. Love those green screens! Somewhere inside the company is Dr. Tim Bray's SGML search and data management system. And for the history buffs, can you name the 1983 technology that continues to influence Hummingbird, another OpenText information system. Now I am sure I have notes on the Nstein technology, a once much hyped search, indexing, and management system. I grow weary.
I just read "OpenText Launches Discovery Suite to Capture and Create Value in Big Content." The write up announces something that OpenText has been selling for years. The buzzwordage is notable, and you can find my view of content processing jargon in this six minute video.
What I noted was the probably unintentional inclusion of some Latinate sentence structures and a near miss on a type of poetry not practiced since William Carlos William riffed on red wheelbarrows. Here's the melodious sequence I noted:
OpenText can integrated the unintegrated, structure the unstructured, and manage the unmanaged.
I am sorely tempted to add some lines like "support the unsupported," but I will not.

SharePoint 2013 E-Discovery
February 21, 2014
Many organizations are looking for SharePoint to perform outside of its regular boundaries. So for those that are specifically looking for e-discovery capabilities, Search Content Management has good news in their article, "SharePoint 2013 E-discovery Makes Strides in Mining Exchange Server Data."
The article says:
"SharePoint 2013 offers new integration with Exchange Server, which can ease the burden of e-discovery. E-discovery enables finding, preserving, analyzing and producing content in electronic formats as required by legal proceedings or investigation. SharePoint's new e-discovery capabilities with Exchange Server are a major boon for records managers tasked with retrieving information in Exchange mailboxes."
Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime search expert and the man behind ArnoldIT.com. He frequently covers the ups and down of SharePoint, and a common theme is users' desire to get the most mileage out of their SharePoint implementation. For these organizations, the bells and whistles of SharePoint 2013 are going a long way.

Efficient eDiscovery with SharePoint
February 10, 2014
Discovery and preservation in SharePoint has long been a time consuming and intense process. However, several good add-on solutions have created a simple and faster method of eDiscovery, including Index Engines' 5.1 Release. Read more in the PR Web story, "Efficient SharePoint ESI Collection and Preservation Highlights Index Engines' 5.1 eDiscovery Release."
The article says:
"Time and access to data for eDiscovery increased with Index Engines' 5.1 release, which provides litigation support professionals direct indexing of SharePoint for selective culling and collection and also provides support for Exchange 2013 data. Previously, SharePoint extraction was an arduous process that can require the need to copy the data to disk before indexing."
Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime leader in search, and therefore a longtime follower of SharePoint and enterprise search. His information service, ArnoldIT.com, devotes a lot of attention to SharePoint and the latest tips and trends. Arnold often finds that while SharePoint is a large powerful platform, it is not easily customizable and users often turn to smart add-ons to enhance their satisfaction.

SharePoint eDiscovery for Content Management
January 27, 2014
Many case-based operations can be simplified by e-discovery tools, which are now built in to the SharePoint 2013 suite. SearchContentManagement explains how in their article, "Using SharePoint E-Discovery for Enterprise Content Management."
The article begins:
"With any Microsoft release, part of the challenge is getting a handle on its tools — not just how they work but also the best way to use them. SharePoint e-discovery functionality in SharePoint 2013 provides specific enterprise content management advantages — but only if you think about your usage scenarios up front."
Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime leader in search and the man behind ArnoldIT.com. He often covers SharePoint in his information service, as he follows the trends of enterprise search and content management. He research makes it clear that while SharePoint still has the lion's share of the market, customers are constantly looking for increased functionality. It seems that is what SharePoint is trying to give them as they work to expand their customer base, and keep their existing one.

Intellectual Property Protection Program Announced by ZyLAB
January 15, 2014
The article ZyLAB Launches Intellectual Property Protection Program For Big Data on MetroCorpCounsel discusses the announcement by software developer ZyLAB only a few months after their thirtieth anniversary. The new program contains components of eDiscovery and Information Risk Management along with libraries that users can customize to protect and localize intellectual property. It is intended for use mainly by commercial enterprises in safeguarding their often-unprotected IP.
The article explains:
"The ZyLAB Intellectual Property Protection Program has been developed to support commercial organizations in protecting these important assets.
With ZyLAB's eDiscovery and Information Risk Management System companies can locate Intellectual Property on their computer systems and actively prevent leakage or theft of this sensitive and valuable information. A user-installable library containing best practice methodology for eDiscovery enables the automatic identification of files that may contain IP. The library is available as an add-on to the ZyLAB platform."
This process makes it much easier to notice those employees storing large amounts of IP in their emails or other personal locations, because it recognizes information that includes IP automatically. The prevention of data leakage ensures that companies will not have to face the loss of revenue, but also helps them to avoid lawsuits. As in so many areas, prevention beats cleanup when it comes to IP, according to chief strategist at ZyLAB Johannes Scholtes.

Last night was the coldest night on record in five years.
It was so damn cold that our heater couldn't hang with it and stopped working in the wee hours of the morning. It was so damn cold that ice covered everything this morning. It was so cold that my husband, who loves anything cold, bitched and moaned about how cold it was.
Yeah, that says 14 degrees.
Me, in 14 degree weather.
Karma is still taking revenge on me. Maybe I'm the bitch and not karma?

There is much ado about polygamy these days. Media coverage, HBO's Big Love, TLC's Sister Wives, the acts committed by cult leader Warren Jeffs and his followers—all of these keep a slew of polygamy-related issues at the forefront of society. But none can depict the ongoing, daily atrocities and heartaches that are hidden behind the scenes, behind closed doors, within the hearts and souls of thousands of smiling faces.
Kristyn Decker's memoir recounts the harsh realities of being born and raised in the second largest polygamist sect in America—the Apostolic United Brethren, or the AUB (Allred Group). For five decades, Kristyn, then Sophie, was caught up in a cult of plural marriage … and lived it until she thought it would kill her. When she finally had the courage to leave, she knew she had to share her story.
Fifty Years in Polygamy: Big Secrets and Little White Lies describes a life of religious submission, lies, secrets, poverty, abuse, jealousy, depression, and loneliness. The gripping, detailed events in this book will shock you but will also inspire compassion, understanding, and perhaps even the courage to change your own life.
"Fifty Years in Polygamy is a compelling read, full of raw emotion that reveals the abuses hidden under the cloak of religion. Kristyn Decker's book depicts the cries of thousands of women across the world—another voice who through fear remained silent for too many years."
—Irene Spencer, author of New York Times bestseller
Shattered Dreams: My Life as a Polygamous Wife
On our front porch, which was also used as our laundry room, I climbed out of Mom's galvanized tin tub half full of cold, murky bathwater ringed with swirls of lye soap residue. The stiff yellow towel that had hung on our clothesline for a whole day felt scratchy around my five-year-old chubby body.
Inside our three-bedroom basement house, photos and memorabilia concealed most of Mom's pastel blue tricot bedspread. I longed to sprawl out and bask on its silky softness. Instead, I gently sat on the corner of the bed and stared at a five-by-seven picture of a younger version of her. I thought my heart would burst with pride.
I told her, "Mom, you look so pretty in this picture!"
Quickly, she wiped her tears from her cheeks and nose.
"What's the matter, Mom?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing," she replied.
"Then why are you crying?"
"Oh, I don't know. It seems like I'm always crying."
To me, my mother was always beautiful no matter her age or whether her eyes glistened with tears or sparkled with joy.
In her younger years, my mother, Vera Cooke, was a vivacious, slender, blue-eyed blonde. She loved to hang out with her friends, attend her LDS Church activities, swim, dance, and roller skate—but most of all she loved to hike.
Listening to my mother reminisce about the happy times in her life was always a joy to me. I pictured her joyous occasions as if they'd someday be mine.
"The twelve-mile hike up the steep hill to the Black Canyon Dam was as easy as pie," Mom told me years later. "I used to pick apples, sell magazine subscriptions, and watch children to earn spending money." Then Mom blushed as she brought her voice to a whisper, maybe so Dad couldn't hear. "It was that summer when I was only nineteen years old that I fell for Lee Flinders. He was tall and handsome!" She giggled a little. "We'd been going together for quite some time when a real pretty girl came up and asked me if I was in love with him. You know what I told her? I said, 'Well, I guess I am in a way,' but then all of a sudden the words that shot right out of my mouth were, 'No, I guess not, so you can have him.'"
Mother sighed. "I wonder who he married and where he's living now? Sometimes I wonder how different my life would be if I had stayed with him and not lived plural marriage with your father ..." After a long pause she said, "Well, you know what, Sophie? I really believe the Lord must have put those words in my mouth to keep me from marrying the wrong man!"
* * *
For many years before my mother was pregnant with me, her "devils" had been driving her mad. She'd been married to my father for sixteen years and been through plenty of heartaches. With my mother's seven children, my father's second wife Eleanor's three children, his third wife Maryann's son from a previous marriage, and my father and Maryann's one-year-old son, my father had twelve children to provide for, and another one on the way. According to my mother, it seemed her family was being blown to smithereens. Her sister-wife Eleanor's ongoing self-involved behaviors, Dad's inability to be fair, and the anguish she felt from her thirteen-year-old daughter Lucinda running away to Colorado City and getting married off—all fragmented her testimony of plural marriage and threatened her salvation. She'd either die of a broken heart, or God would have to intervene.
On March 30, 1952, my Dad moved my pregnant mother from her Draper home into Maryann's cramped four-room dwelling. Dad needed to use the rent money to build Mom's new basement house that would be just down the street from Maryann's and Eleanor's homes.
By the first week in September, Mom's three-bedroom house was completed enough for her and her seven children to move into. As always, Mother considered it her absolute "righteous duty" and sole purpose in life to share with, serve, and give to everyone. Never would she allow herself to consider her own needs, wishes, or desires before anyone else's, especially her husband's. So it came as no surprise to anyone when she gladly consented to Dad's latest request. She would share her home with Maryann and her two sons.
"I really was happy to be in our new home," Mom assured me years later. "When we moved in, I began to sink my roots and feel like we'd at last be safe. We could quit running and hiding from the law, but more than anything in the world I looked forward to having you, Sophia, my darling baby girl." She smiled at me tenderly. "Oh, how truly blessed we were!"
* * *
Between every persistent and arduous labor pain, my mother and her mother tried to visit with my father's sister, Beth, and Beth's husband, Lyman. Their home, just across the street from Mom's, was always like Grand Central Station—a constant gathering place for every polygamist in our neighborhood and from afar.
My mother squeezed her mother's hand tightly as each contraction grew closer and more intense. "I hate to end our short visit," my timid mother told Aunt Beth, "but I'd better get myself up to Eleanor's before I don't make it at all."
Between labor pains, Mother supported herself on Grandma's arm as they hastened along in small, awkward steps toward Aunt El's.
My swift and easy entrance into this world seemed to initiate my race with time from the very beginning. "You weren't going to wait one minute longer!" Mom told me many years later. "I thought you might be born right there on the street in front of the whole world, but I pled with God to make you wait until we got to Eleanor's house. I knew you wouldn't wait much longer."
"I still hate waiting," I reminded Mom as we tenderly looked into each other's eyes.
"Well, God answered my prayers." Mom sighed. "Right then your Uncle Marvin showed up. He helped me in his car and rushed us up the street. Eleanor had no sooner helped me get settled onto her bed when you flew out. If she hadn't been there to catch you, I don't know ..."
"Wow!" I chuckled. "No wonder I have so many dreams of flying." Mom and I laughed together.
"Your Uncle Rulon got there just in time to check on you and make sure all of your parts were put together properly," Mom said proudly. "Since I had four boys in a row, everyone was in awe of our new baby girl." (My Uncle Rulon was the Allred Group's leader and prophet as well as our group doctor. By then he had literally delivered thousands of babies.)
My thirty-seven-year-old mother had no idea I'd be her last child. It wasn't her choice to quit bearing children after me. She had two more miscarriages after I was born. From her LDS upbringing and her strong commitment to plural marriage, she believed she should have as many children as the Lord would allow. We were taught that if we obeyed this edict, God would provide for us, no matter how large our families grew. Even more promising than guaranteed provisions, the more children a woman had, the more glorified she would be in heaven. My mother said she never did feel she'd fully completed her duty to God and her husband's posterity. She tried for many years after me to have more children. When she was unable to do so, she felt it was due to her lack of righteousness.
* * *
Polygamy was just as illegal then as it is now. In the early years, my father and his wives had fled from the law several times. After a 1944 raid on fundamental polygamists, fourteen men were imprisoned, including my Uncle Rulon. The fear of that raid left believers and their families in constant fear and ready to flee. After Maryann and her kids returned to Murray after one such fiasco, Mom's basement home was once again full of Fundamentalist polygamists who were feeling funduh-mentally insane.
Mother's five sons and Maryann's two sons haggled over the undersized space in the small north bedroom. The middle bedroom was packed to the hilt with me, my sister Francine (before she ran away to get married at the age of fourteen), Maryann's two daughters, and one of Dad's wives—depending on which one wasn't sleeping with him every third night in the south bedroom.
Even though our living arrangements inside were quite dismal, our home was nestled in the midst of acres and acres of clover fields, grasslands, cow pastures, and swampy wetlands—a child's paradise. Along each side of our dead-end unpaved road, were eight or nine more homes overflowing with Fundamentalist friends and loved ones. It was our childhood wonderland that outsiders and some of us insiders called Polygyville.
One afternoon, in our dreary, dark basement, just before I started kindergarten, my mother gave me a squeeze and excitedly told me that she'd be going to school to become a nurse. Full of giddy delight, she explained, "I'll be able to help other people get well and make some money to help your papa support our family. I'll still have to work in the kitchen at St. Mark's Hospital some of the time, so I won't get to see you very much, but Aunt Maryann will look after you and your brothers while I'm away."
Seeing my mother so happy made me feel like I could giggle all day long. To me, it seemed she cried most of the time. The time I climbed out of the bathtub and onto her soft bedspread, she was sobbing even while she sorted through piles of pictures. Whenever I asked her why she was crying, she'd always say, "Oh, nothing. I'm okay. I'll be all right." Now I hoped this promise of happiness would come true.
* * *
Dad drove me to the Allred Group's alternative doctor, a "nonbeliever." Apparently, Uncle Rulon was in hiding again, delivering another baby, spending time with his huge family, or counseling one or more of his polygamist adherents.
"It's just a checkup," Dad said when we got to the doctor's office. "The doctor is going to see if you're healthy enough to go to kindergarten."
Other than the couches that were backed up against every wall, the huge waiting room seemed white and bare. A few of my Dad's waiting friends smiled at me warmly. When the doctor called me, Dad gently nudged me in his direction.
"Go ahead, honey. I'll be right here waiting for you."
The doctor took my hand and led me into a cluttered examining room with the overwhelming smell of Hexol cleaning solution that my mother always used. As soon as we were in the room, he let go of my hand, locked the door behind us, and told me to take my clothes off and climb on the table.
In a petrified stance, I stared back at him. "My dad didn't tell me that I have to take my clothes off!"
"I said take your clothes off and climb on the table like I told you to!" the doctor ordered. "I'm not going to hurt you. I have to see if everything is normal down there."
I couldn't move. Tears began to stream down my cheeks. The doctor stared back at me angrily, obviously expecting me to do exactly as I was told, but I was still frozen with fear. He grabbed me with his huge hands and plopped me down on his clammy, cold table. He hurriedly and roughly removed my dress and panties and told me to lie down on my back. When I still couldn't move, he pushed me back onto the table.
"Just relax now," he snapped while he spread my legs apart. But I squeezed them tightly together and began to whimper. When he roughly pried them apart again, my chubby white legs began to tremble. The doctor traced my labia up and down, over and over again. Through foggy tears, I saw him lick his fingers and leave them wet with spittle. Trying to squirm my way into a sitting position, I sobbed and begged him to leave me alone. "Stop it now! Hold still!" he commanded again. His flat palm pushed my chest firmly back against the table. Holding me down, he put his face right next to mine and emphasized every word. "Do not make one more sound, little girl! If you do, you will bother everyone out there, and that will make them really mad at you."
Completely petrified, I tried hard to hold still and not make a sound, but I couldn't help it. When I continued to whimper, I feared the doctor might hit me. It seemed like forever that I stared at the ceiling squares and quivered in terror while he pressed his fingers just inside my vagina. Suddenly I felt something large and cold start to push further inside my tiny orifice. It hurt so much that I couldn't help but scream. Again, I sat up and tried to push the doctor away. He abruptly backed up and looked at the door behind him. Then he said in his guttural voice, "Get dressed now, naughty little girl!" At last, he unlocked the back door and disappeared.
All alone, I could hardly catch my breath or move. I slowly sat up on the end of the sticky leather table. Burning tears poured onto my chest and bare legs. I slid down to the footstool a little at a time until my small feet landed on the frigid linoleum floor. I found my underwear on a chair and pressed them between my legs in hopes the burning pain would stop. Finally, I slid the underwear over my pale legs and pulled my dress over my head as fast as I could, before the doctor could come back in.
As I shuffled into the waiting room, I looked at Dad through hazy eyes. He was oblivious and still talking, and I wondered if I'd explode inside and out.
Why did my father leave me alone with that doctor? Why did the doctor do that to me? What if he comes out here and tells Dad that I was a naughty girl and that I misbehaved? Dad might make me go back in there and behave myself!
Next to my father, I leaned way back, pushing myself as hard as I could against the green vinyl couch. I forced away my tears so he wouldn't ask me what was wrong. I wished I could become invisible. He won't believe me if I tell him what the doctor did, my thoughts repeated. So I forced myself into perfect compliance.
On the way home, I thought again about telling Dad about it—about saying something to him. He smiled and said a few things as if nothing in the world was wrong. A million things were going through my young mind. I'm supposed to respect my elders and do as they say. Guess the doctor had to do that to see if I am okay, just like Dad said. What if my mother gets angry because I let the doctor touch me "down there"? That's what the doctor called it, too. I must be a bad girl for not holding still. Maybe if I had, it wouldn't have hurt and made me feel sick all over. I think I'm going to throw up! I won't, though, and I won't ever tell anyone. I'm sure they'll be really mad at me.
In September, I started kindergarten at McMillan Elementary School, just a few blocks from home. I thought the first day was the best day of my whole life. "Kindergarten must be what heaven is like!" I told Mom. I was so happy to be in Mrs. Holiday's class that I woke up every morning eager to go to school. I wasn't afraid of her, and I believed she really loved me.
Near the middle of my kindergarten year, while my friend Tia and I were playing house, I asked her how many moms she had. When she told me she only had one, I bragged that I had three. She was pretty excited for me. "Why do you get to have three moms and I don't?"
"I don't know," I told her.
The next day Tia said her mom told her that my dad was a "pig-a-mess and a very bad man, cuz he don't follow God's rules." Tia smirked and went on. "And my mom told me I shouldn't play with you any more cuz you're a pig-a-mess kid."
"My dad is not a pig-a-mess!" I protested. "He does too keep God's rules! And my dad does too keep all of his things nice and clean. He's not ever messy. Sometimes my mom says my brother's room gets messy just like a pig sty, so maybe ... just maybe ... I guess they are pig-a-messes, but my dad isn't a pig-a-mess!"
The other kids looked at both of us in wonder and listened to Tia's remarks. "Well, your dad is a pig-a-mess cuz my mom said he is! So maybe he should keep his room clean. Then he won't be a pig-a-mess anymore!"
As young as five and six years old, my innocent public school peers were conned into their taunting chants: "Sophie is a pig-a-mess kid, Sophie is a pig-a-mess," they teased.
I hid in the toy closet behind the shelves and cried. All of the kids watched as my teacher gently pulled me out by the hand. She held me in her arms and reminded the kids to be nice to everyone.
They were nice to me, at least for a few more years.
That summer, a huge white station wagon pulled up our driveway, over our dirt yard, and stopped right next to the stairs that went down into the basement house. The homely male driver leaned toward the passenger window. "Good afternoon, Sister Vera. We're going for an ice cream cone and want to know if Sophie can go with us."
Mom prodded my shoulder, as she assumed I'd like to go with Brother Maynard and my cousin, his new wife.
"No!" I blurted out, feeling terrified of that man. Even though I didn't know why, I did know that he made me feel icky inside. I didn't want to be in his car or near him, ever.
Mom seemed embarrassed by my perceived rude behavior and her need to please others, so she continued to try to coax me into going along. The more she pled with me to go with Brother Maynard, the more anxious I felt that she'd make me go.

Ive read many books on Polygamy, and this is not one of them. It starts out that way, but when she gets married they only marry one other person. They dont even live in the same house. Most books on the subject are interesting because you read about the struggles between wives, not just another lady her husband has on the side. Her husband doesnt even go to church! Her story us just about waiting for this same guy for 50 years. She doesnt even split up with him until the book only has about 3 pages left. In the meantime, she becomes a lesbian and sleeps with other guys while she waits for Mark, her husband to only want her. THIS IS NOT A POLYGAMIST STORY! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

I bought this book because I am interested in all things polygamy (thanks to my unwarranted obsession with the show "Sister Wives"). This book isn't exactly what I thought it would be - it was more a personal biography than an in depth look at polygamy. It was VERY long and long-winded and the story jumped around quite a bit - introducing characters and events that weren't explained fully.
Overall, I thought it was interesting, but much too long and poorly written.

I really enjoyed the book! I often had to tell myself to slow down once I started reading I can't stop. It's fascinating to realize that kind of lifestyle is still being lived. I could feel Kristyn's pain and anguish and torn by what she thought was the right thing to do..

The writing is clearly amateur, but the story is somewhat interesting. There is still obviously a lot the author is not telling us and as a human, she justifies and glosses over a lot of things in her writing.

Wow! What an incredible book! What an incredible woman and writer. I've read a lot of books on this subject and I LOVE this one! It's tragic and triumphant at the same time. Painfully truthful and healing at the same time. I couldn't put it down!! I would love to read more details of her life. Excellent!!

This was not a book on polygamy at all. This book was not easy to read either. This book was about a woman who was married and took years and years of mental abuse from her husband and always stayed with him even when he beat their children. I waited and waited for this vicious cycle to end and for her to wake the hell up. Oh yea, they were mormans but did not live this life. No services and prayers. Her husband did take a second wife but it felt like he had a mistress instead and seemed like he only wanted and respected this second wife and the more he hurt his first wife, the more she stayed??????? Save your money, this was degrading to women. This happened now, not in Joseph Smith's day when women had no choices or say in their lives.

A book I could not put down. Knowing the author a bit helped keep my interest, but it was well written and not only informative about the culture of fundamentalist Mormonism, but also insight into one woman's way of rising up and becoming the person she was born to be.

Nitro Select TLS Snowboard Boot - Men's
Lace snapped...
I rode these boots for a season and was really pleased with the way they felt... until the lace snapped. The way the lace system is designed there's no way to just swap out a new lace in case of a break; you have to swap out the entire boot or ship it in to get it fixed. The boot itself was super comfortable. Ultra padding where you needed it, stiff - but not too stiff. This would be a five star boot if it had better lace system.

Smith Serpico Polarized Sunglasses
Awesome shades. The lenses aren't quite as dark as I had hoped but hey, you can't complain, these glasses fit so comfy. Definately recommended. FYI: The gold model DOES NOT come with the hard case, only the silver ones do. Something they probably should put on the description...

Famous Crime Deaths 2013 January - JuneWhether via natural causes, execution by the state, or murder, people involved with famous crimes pass away, just like everyone else. Here is a list of some of those deaths during the year of 2013, along with a brief explanation of their famous crime connection. January 9: Rizana Nafeek. This 24-year old Sri Lankan woman was executed by beheading after she was convicted of murdering an infant in her care in 2005. Nafeek claimed the four-month old accidentally choked, but signed a confession (under duress, she claimed.) 10: Zhang Yongming: A 57-year-old Chinese serial killer accused of murdering 11 young men between the years of 2008 and 2012. He is also said to have sold their flesh at a food market. February 12: Christopher Dorner: After a massive manhunt, the 33-year-old who killed three police officers and a family member of a police officer, as well as wounding four others, was cornered in a cabin near Big Bear Lake, California. The cabin burned down and Dorner's autopsy revealed a single gunshot, likely self-inflicted, to the head. March 1: Naw Kham: 43-year old drug lord and gang leader in Burma. Kham pled guilty to involvement in the 2011 Mekong River massacre that left 13 Chinese sailors dead. Executed by lethal injection. 17: Peter Scott: Prolific British burglar who robbed hundreds of homes and even stole from Sophia Loren. Scott was the inspiration for the movie [i]He Who Rides a Tiger[/i], released in 1965. Scott died of cancer at age 82. April 15: Martin Richard, age 8; Lu Lingzi, age 23; Krystle Campbell, age 29; all killed in the Boston Marathon bombing. Over 200 others were injured, many severely. Sean Collier, aged 27 and an M.I.T police officer, was killed in a shootout with the suspects four days later. 19: Tamerlan Tsarnaev: 26-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings (along with his brother, 19-year-old Dzhokar.) Tsarnaev was shot several times by police and possibly ran over with a vehicle, though accounts of what vehicle struck him vary. May June 7: Richard Ramirez: The 53-year-old serial killer known as the Night Stalker died of natural causes after sitting on California's death row for 23 years. Ramirez terrorized the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1984 and 1985, killing 14 people and committing multiple rapes. 12: Elroy Chester: Convicted of the 1998 murder of a Texas fireman, Chester confessed to three other killings and was connected by DNA to several rapes. The 44-year-old was executed by lethal injection despite controversy over his low IQ. 20: Lil Snupe, birth name Addarren La' Keith Ross: He was an 18-year-old rapper who was shot to death, allegedly following an argument over video games. 26: Kimberly McCarthy: A 52-year-old Texas woman convicted of murdering her 71-year-old neighbor in 1997. Executed by lethal injection.

Family members of victims of Uphaar fire tragedy today held a prayer meet in the memory of 59 persons who died in the theatre 17 years ago and demanded enacting of a strong law to ensure punishment commensurate with the gravity of such man-made disasters.
Delhi court reserved its order for May 3 on the issue of framing of charges against real estate barons Sushil Ansal, Gopal Ansal and five others, facing prosecution for allegedly tampering with judicial records relating to the case of 1997 Uphaar cinema fire tragedy which killed 59 cine goers.
The Supreme Court expressed its displeasure over Sushil Ansal`s going to the US for treatment without taking a prior nod from the court before which the Uphaar fire tragedy case is pending.
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the trial court proceedings against former IPS officer Amod Kanth in the 1997 Uphaar fire tragedy case.
Delhi High Court reserved verdict on plea of former IPS Amod Kanth against 2010 trial court order summoning him for allowing extra seats in Uphaar cinema hall where 59 movie watchers died in 1997.
Sixteen years after the tragic Uphaar cinema fire in Delhi, the kin of the 59 killed on that faithful day said they "feel cheated" .
Real estate baron Gopal Ansal, one of the convicts in the 1997 Uphaar fire tragedy case on Saturday moved a plea in a Delhi court seeking clubbing of two other pending criminal cases against him.
Even after 15 years of the Uphaar cinema fire, the families of the 59 people who died in the incident await justice.
Kin of Uphaar cinema hall fire tragedy victims Sunday held a prayer meet here to commemorate the death of 59 people in the incident 13 years ago.
The Delhi High Court on Thursday allowed criminal prosecution of Ansal brothers for allegedly tampering with evidence in Uphaar fire tragedy case in which 59 cine goers were killed and several others injured 12 years ago.

Although Kyrie Irving was able to return to the game after initially injuring his finger, he has since been diagnosed with a fractured finger. Initial X-Rays during the game Saturday did not reveal the fracture. However, since then he has undergone more tests and an MRI. The injury was confirmed today, and Irving will miss about a month.
According to Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon, the MRI was what revealed the small fracture. Irving will not need surgery, but he will wear a splint and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. It's strange that Irving was able to return to the game after initially injuring himself. However, he was largely ineffective after the injury, so perhaps it makes sense that he would be shelved for up to four weeks.
Irving is the Cleveland Cavaliers' best player. He has averaged 19.2 points per game and 6.2 assists per game. Despite his success, the Cavaliers have not been able to do much with him on the court. They've started the 2012-13 season 2-8. Without him, they are sure to continue their struggles.
Irving was drafted number one overall in the 2011 draft. He played one season at Duke University. While at Duke, he averaged 17.5 points per game. Cavaliers fans may suffer more than the team during Irving's absence. This is not meant to slight the rest of the team, but Irving is Cleveland's main attraction.

Use the arrows or AWSD keys to control your character. Use the mouse to aim and fire. Press P to pause and M to mute the game. Use the number keys (1-8) or scroll your mouse to switch weapons.
There are 30 waves in total with 6 unique bosses and a total of 15 upgrades each for all 8 guns. Fight zombies accross 6 different stages with a total of 9 unique settings spanned across grasslands, cities, factories, and laboratories.In addition to this there are number of power ups unlocked by getting a large combo (by killing zombies quickly without losing pace). These include 2x gold, 2x power, 2x speed, and bonus gold.
Retro inspired pixel art graphics were used to give the game a slick and unique feel. The graphics are entirely original and includes a huge amount of content in terms of backgrounds, barricades, zombies, bosses, and a variety of armors for the main characters in addition to the games unique interface.
I'm really into multi directional games but this is basically a generic zombie game. There are not really any special things in this game that set it apart from others of this genre. The game does appear to have some time put into it though.

This is a killer game I enjoy other seeing pain. I only hope whatever my info on your falshgame has is saved.
It's alright.... nothing really new and/or exciting. A little too easy, I played all the way through and only died once. And that was because the mouse stopped working for a min [damn BT mice] The guns were alright well balanced and decent cost. However, I didn't like that the "dual" guns shot in a V pattern. I would have liked the option to shoot side by side. I found my self suing the single version more often. Also, 200 starting bullets on the mini-gun???? Wayyy to little. But all and all an ok game

By using genetic markers, researchers have estimated the degree of gene flow between the reefs in Skagerrak. The results show that the genetic distance between the Scken reef and four other reefs in the northeast Skagerrak is one of the largest on both sides of the Atlantic. The genetic diversity on the Scken reef is also much lower than observed in any other reef of this type.
"This means that it is highly unlikely that the Scken reef will recover naturally," says Mikael Dahl, who led the study. "Instead, interventions are needed in order to ensure the survival of the reef."

On the basis of these results, researchers from the University of Gothenburg have started a restoration project where healthy corals from nearby reefs in Norway are being removed and placed on the Scken reef after being genetically characterised. The researchers hope that these corals will survive the process of being transferred, and that they will be able to help with the re-establishment of the reef, through both asexual and sexual reproduction.
The Scken reef is spread across an area of 5,000 m, but today there is only living coral in an area of around 300-500 m. Further results from the study show that individual specimens of Lophelia pertusa corals may be several thousands of years old, and in the Norwegian coral reef some of the individuals have been estimated to be somewhat 6,200 years old. But many are probably older.
"In other words, it's not only the reefs themselves that are extremely old, but it's also actually the same individuals that have been situated there since soon after the withdrawal of the inland ice. These individual corals have been living there in the deep darkness since long be
