On Sunday afternoon, 7 April 1844, the Prophet Joseph Smith delivered what has been called his greatest sermon, the King Follett Discourse. It has also been published more frequently than any other of Joseph's discourses. In the speech, which lasted over two hours, the Prophet spoke concerning some twenty-seven doctrinal subjects, including the character of God, the origin and destiny of man, the unpardonable sin, the resurrection of children and the Prophet's love for all men. Who was King Follett, and what were the historical circumstances surrounding this, the last conference address of Joseph Smith? What makes the King Follett Discourse the Prophet's greatest sermon?

Jamie Adams admits she never would have imagined cheering the sight of a parking meter, but after months of frustrating searches for an open spot around the revamped Myriad Gardens, she is among those eagerly awaiting the day when newly installed meters are finally activated.
Pay and display parking meter installation is under way in downtown Oklahoma City
"I love coming here with my kids," Adams said Friday. "But it's impossible finding a parking spot around here — the construction workers park here in the morning and don't leave until the day is over."
Installation of new parking meters began this week along several streets rebuilt as part of Project 180, the $141 million makeover of downtown public spaces funded through a tax increment finance district created in conjunction with the construction of Devon Energy Center.
With the addition of more than 600 on-street parking spots resulting from downtown street renovations, officials with the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority and Project 180 decided to retire the old coin meters for a more advanced wireless multi-spot pay station.
"As part of the changes resulting from Project 180, we were looking for ways to clean up the streets and de-clutter the sidewalks," said Debi Holtzclaw, parking manager for the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority. "We chose a digital meter because the older mechanical meters do not accept credit cards and manufacturers are no longer making parts to repair them."
Officials hoped to have the meters installed months ago as the first Project 180 streets were completed, but a contract with Florida-based CALE Parking Systems was dropped after the company was raided by the FBI and IRS on claims of kickbacks. After reconsidering bids submitted for the project, city officials chose to go with a "pay and display" system produced by Florida-based Parkeon.

The meters
Pay stations will serve about 10 parking spaces, with no more than five car lengths between the spot and designated pay station. The price for parking also is going up, with a minimum of 75 cents for 30-minute parking in either one-hour or two-hour zones. Parking zones will be marked by color coding. One-hour meters will feature a blue cap and two-hour meters feature an orange cap. On-street parking will be enforced 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, except public holidays.

As the owner of Denim & Diamonds, the popular country-and-western bar at 1725 Swift Avenue in North Kansas City, Dennis Hess was known for his hospitality. When he made the rounds and greeted his customers each night, he could make a patron feel like the most important person in the room.
But when Sgt. Chad Phillips of the Platte County Sheriff's Office walked into the bedroom of Hess' Platte City home, 64-year-old Hess was silent.
Hess was sitting upright on the bed, his mouth open and his head tipped back against the headboard. Thin streams of blood trickled down his chin and over his shirtless chest, soaking into the waistband of his jeans. In his lap was a small-caliber handgun. On the ground lay a black-scorched set of false teeth, blown out of Hess' mouth by the force of the gunshot.
Phillips touched the dead man's right shoulder. It was still a little warm.
When the emergency responders pulled up in the driveway of 19015 Humphrey Access Road moments earlier on June 15, 2009, Hess' 36-year-old wife, Lena Hess, was outside with her young daughter. "He blew his brains out," she told them.
He'd been talking about taking his own life for a couple of days, she said. "I didn't think he would do it. I should have known."
Outside, Lena asked Phillips whether the bullet had come out the back of her husband's head. She asked him again later, and a third time after that. Each time, Phillips told her that he wouldn't know until the medical examiners arrived to remove the body.
News of Hess' death made big waves in the small, tightknit community of bars lining Swift Avenue in North Kansas City. Denim & Diamonds was very successful. The owner and his much-younger wife had been having problems. North Kansas City gossips had no trouble connecting the dots.
Platte County Sheriff's Office investigators would soon find plenty of reading material on the Hesses' tortured relationship. Between the couple's 2005 wedding and this summer, the pair filed a dizzying number of legal actions against each other, including police reports, restraining orders and three petitions for divorce. There was more than enough on the public record to suggest that the marriage had been headed for a violent end. On Hess' request for a restraining order that he sought against Lena on February 8, 2008, for example: "She is buying a gun and has told me it [sic] for me to taste."
When Lena hears that the Hess family has planned a memorial for Dennis on June 25 — at Bar 12 on Swift Avenue — she schedules a separate event at the bar that once belonged to her husband. Regulars call the place "Denims." She makes sure that her memorial happens on the same night, at the same time.
At the Denims memorial, Lena sits alone at a cocktail table at the edge of the dance floor, a vast expanse of polished wood hemmed in by railings that give it the appearance of a livestock pen. She's slim, with high cheekbones. Her earrings, hammered-silver hoops, poke out from beneath her straight dark-brown hair. She has left a few of the topmost, mother-of-pearl snaps on her plaid shirt undone to reveal a hint of cleavage. She wears clear braces on her teeth.
Lena says she was married to Hess for "six amazing years." No one from Hess' large, Catholic family has joined her at this memorial. It's after 9 p.m., and the place is nearly empty.
Lena handled the funeral arrangements. Two of Hess' older daughters say Lena called from the funeral home 30 minutes before the body was cremated to tell them that, if they hurried, they could see their father one last time.

Thirty years of breeding,
backed by objective selection, performance and science,
has resulted in an Australian bred sheep tailored for Australian conditions.
White Suffolks are simply better by design
WHITE SUFFOLKS offer:
- Lambing ease
- Early maturity
- Clean points
- High libido
- Longevity and good temperament
- Terminal and maternal lines
- Quality skins
- White Downs type wool
- Market flexibility – trade or export weight carcasses
- Meat eating quality backed by science
The White Suffolk provides superior all round performance – consistent and measured rams producing high yielding carcasses able to hit the right fat specifications. This means a better bottom line for the prime lamb producer and the best eating quality lamb for the consumer.
The AUSTRALIAN WHITE SUFFOLK ASSOCIATION aims to:
- be at the forefront of marketing and promotion of the White Suffolk breed
- better educate our members and commerical breeders on providing superior genetics to the Australian lamb industry
- continue to develop the White Suffolk breed to the advantage of all involved in the Australian lamb industry
- encourage extensive use of genetic evaluation and continue to benchmark the White Suffolk breed to become the leading performance breed
- remain at the forefront of recent technological advances within the livestock industry
Maternal traits add up to a self-replacing flock
While many prime lamb producers use White Suffolks as a terminal breed, Bob Williamson is capitalizing on the maternal traits of fertility, lambing ease and milking ability.
